1) Well, an actually appealing game appeared by the upcoming stuff?
Yeesh2) Dangan Ronpa is like the best/worst thing to discover for a PSP Mystery game as the story/characters ARE appealing yet...it's also quite good at traumatizing with eerie stuff the punishment executions
On the day of the arrangment, the unfortunate snow. The street corner of Ginza, because of the snow .frozen on the roads surface brought the car to standstill. The driver bows his head apologetically.
[Mitsunobu-sama, I'm sorry. Further than this is--]
[It's fine. You guys return back to the house like this. I will continue on foot from here]
[However, the return-]
[If it comes to going back, I will manage it somehow. 'It's possible I might drink the night away', please report to father and mother like that.]
Putting on the overcoat, wreathing the scarf I step out of the car. It was already 10 minutes, past the promised time.
Since it's that man, there's probably no way that tired of waiting he'd go home. Though I think that, I'm still at a loss of mood.
Turning the corner with quick footsteps, at the time I entered the side street there was a tall figure that forcefully would catch my eye.
Tsuchida who'd notice my call, would turn around. Today, without wearing his uniform, he was in ordinary clothes. The brown overcoat suited him well.
[What happened to your umbrella?]
[Since it was by car till that spot. The traffic was being at a standstill, (so) I left it]
[As if there'd be a guy who'd come by car on a day like this]
After saying that, Norizane's hand would lightly brush off Mitsunobu's shoulder.
[Though aren't the you who's saying that also covered in snow? How about your umbrella?]
[It was troublesome to go out while carrying it]
[...Being like that, you did well in finding faults with other people rather than yourself]
As he'd look up, Norizane too was gazing at Mitsunobu.
[You're standing out, as usual]
[I don't want to be told that by you, who stands out just by standing up]
[Where shall we go?]
[Since it involves you in any case. If it's a expensive store you won't feel at ease right? In a place not that far from here by foot, there's a store I frequented in the past]
After telling to 'be at ease', the owner of the store who was an ex-geisha stepped back to the interior.
The silent western-style place that was at a place a bit inside the business district, it was an offhand store students would also visit regularly but, in a snowy day like this it's pretty deserted. In the inner part there is also private rooms divided by partition, it was thought to be oddly suitable for secret discussions.
Settling down by the table extending far into the back, finally I see the figure of the man facing me.
[Has your hair lenghtened a bit?]
[I'll have it cut in no time. It's really troublesome]
The flesh in the area of the cheek would be chipped a bit, I feel like it increases his intrepidness. Though the bit longer hair would suit him a bit better than the previous, even for the strict regulations of the army, even this would probably be on the too long side. Though it'd also feel regrettable, it's also something inevitable.
[Is your family in good health?]
[Aa, they seem to be doing well. Though it seems Akane ended up campaigning as a nurse--]
[...I see. Hopefully she'll be able to return safely]
[Will that Akane be fit for it or not? That's the part I'm/one'd feel anxious about]
To Norizane's complaint my lips smile broadly. Norizane's older sister I have only met once before, certainly was a strong-willed woman. However, on the battleground at least that amount for the heart of the heart may be better is what I think.
[You seem like you haven't changed]
[Ah...,yes. I guess you can say that]
Becoming aware of it, Norizane who was resting his chin is his hands, was looking at my face with a tender gaze. The fact that I hesitated to say it, is a bit vexing.
Mitsunobu, averting his gaze, pulled out documentary binded by string from his briefcase.
[I'm only showing it to you. Drive it inside your head]
[Got it]
Norizane casts a serious gaze upon the documents.
[I transcribed it. Though there would be parts that are omitted, you probably can get the main point of it]
Produced by the command of the army's upper stratum, it's the argument gathering the opinions of experts and scholars.This is the memo of that.
The remaining quantity of internal goods, there is a raw calculation concerning how long those will last.
On the chance if America restricting export of fuel, if Machuria was captured, Aluminium, Magnesium. What should we do on the oxccasion of running dry on every possible material.
Not to be revealed to a civilian at any cost, the simulation of the nation reduced to poverty. It's the item Mitsunobu and his father got, by extending their hands as far as the Army Ministers..
Mitsunobu casts his gaze upon Norizane who was casting his eyes downwards.
[The upper department of the navy, raised an objection to the alliance with Japan, Germany and Italy didn't they? It would be nice if it would tide over smoothly as is.]
[Aa. If the participation of the alliance would result in facing against America, there is no chance of victory. --However]
[As I thought, internally the opinions are divided, huh?]
[Even among young officers like us, it's splitting ...No, there's many who would be in progress of inclining towards the opinion of there may be no end to war]
Finishing flipping through the documents till the end, Norizane raised his gaze.
[The sustain, would be 3 years huh]
[Indeed. And that too, are digits in the case there isn't an all-out war]
[At the time resources run dry, it's how the top responds to it]
[...Aa]
During the several years he spent as a career soldier, that Norizane too would come to be able to think like this, for some reason I felt a little like I wanted to smile wrily.
And, the status quo is as Norizane says.
Before the matter becomes any bigger than this, it's fine if the army pulls out quietly.Though there are youngsters shouting that the countries dignity would be hurt, even so, there would probably still be something that remains.
However, at the time when truly hard pressed they think to gain advantage by stirring once more.
There are a lot who believe that the Russia-Japan's narrow victory, was a crushing victory. More than the enormous amount of people killed in action. there are also those that hold a strong impression of it. That there is glory as long as we win.
How will the ones with the strong impression act? If it's possible with America-Brittain as the oponent, how will they hold down the ones thinking with blind belief?
No, even if there wasn't that (issue), isn't there the allegory of ''a cornered mouse will bite the cat''?
Mitsunobu combed upwards the bangs, that hung down irritatingly.
TBC - I'll never get aby better at translating this war technobabble. Ever
