Note: I
decided to translate Loveless 4 only because for me it is the most interesting
volume in the series, so it’s only for my own tastes and pleisure. I can be
very egoist you know. But at least I share the product of my
egocentricity. ;) I hope you’ll like
this volume too~

Ritsuka:
“Who are you!?”
Youji:
“It’s exactly what I want to ask.”
Natsuo:
“Cuuute! He’s so cute!”
P41
Natsuo: “Ha! He’s
Aoyagi Ritsuka!”
Ritsuka:
/How come he knows me!?/
Natsuo: “Am
I right? Am I rihgt?”
Youji: “Hey
Soubi! You shousdn’t have called us if Ritsuka was there!”
Soubi: “I
didn’t expect Ritsuka to come. At first I wanted to call Kyo...”
Youji: “Ha!
I see! Well sorry but we’re not Kyo!”
Ritsuka:
/Who... Who are they? And that Kyo...?/
P42
Soubi:
“Well Ritsuka, I’m heading back home so byebye.”
Ritsuka:
“No way!”
P43
Ritsuka: “I’m
coming too... I won’t let you leave me behind!” /For now...”
Soubi:
“Ritsuka”
Youji: “Hm...
The taxi is waiting.”
Ritsuka: /We’re
going home!!/
Taxi
driver: “Sir?”
Youji: “We
won’t stain your seats, it’s okay...”
Taxi
driver: “Really? Please don’t.”
Youji: “We
can’t help...”
P44
Youji: “You
don’t like us.”
Ritsuka:
“N... not really.”
Youji:
“Your face doesn’t fit your reply.”
Ritsuka:
“I’ll have the explaination of it all, from Soubi.”
Soubi:
“Youji, don’t meddle with Ritsuka.”
Youji: “What
are you angry about?”
Natsuo:
“Ritsuka, you’re in 6th grade?”
P45
Natsuo: “You’re
in 6th grade right?”
Ritsuka: “Yes!”
Natsuo: “We’re
the same age.”
Soubi:
“Natsuo, don’t speak to him too!”
Ritsuka:
/youji and... Natsuo/
Natsuo:
“It’s all right, stupid Soubi~!”
Youji: “Got
you!”
Natsuo: “Why
are you so impatient?” (giggle)
Kouya:
“Nagisa-sensei, here’s the booty.”
P46
Nagisa:
“You fought very well, Sakagami Kouya. I’m very happy! By the way, Yamato, you
were wounded. Are you all right?”
Yamato: “Ha,
sorry, I’m fine!”
P47
Nagisa: “If
you become a burden, we’ll have to find a new sacrifice.”
Kouya: “Nagisa-sensei!! I can fight only with Yamato! I am
Yamato’s fighter!”
Nagisa:
“Such spontaneous words! You entered the artificial Zero series to as to be
able to change partners.”
Kouya:
“That’s...”
Yamato:
“Sensei, it’s all right. If I became a burden for Kouya, I would die.”
P48
Kouya:
“Yamato!!”
Nagisa:
“Okay. I have nothing to worry about if you understand that. You can go back
now.”
Yamato:
“Ye~s! We’re leaving!”
Nagisa: “Be
careful! And good ni~ght!”
Kouya:
“Yamato! Yamato!!”
Yamato:
“I’m hungry! Where do you want to go?”
Kouya: “Yamato!
Listen to me!”
Yamato:
“hm?”
Kouya: “Why
did you say such a thing?”
P49
Yamato: “But
it’s exactly as Nagisa-sensei said: it’s obvious that if I become a burden for
you, I’ll die.”
Kouya: “No!
That’s not it! We’ll always be together!”
Yamato:
“You again mean that if I die you’ll die too? I’m tired of hearing that. Well,
if I don’t die everything will be fine! Let’s go to Misudo! I want to eat
French food!”
P50
Kouya: “Mere
words. If you want to satirize that badly, kiss me.”
Yamato: “I
wonder how did we get there. Not that I mind... You’re blushing hard. If you
love me that much, traet me to the french restaurant.”
Kouya: “You
don’t know what putting on weight means right!”
P51
Youji: “The
hospital...We thought it was better not to go. And Soubi himself didn’t want
to.”
P52
Natsuo:
“He’s sleeping quietly.”
Ritsuka:
“Hn.”
Natsuo:
“He’ll be fine. Thanks to sleep, his wounds will heal, we mustn’t disturb him.”
Youji:
“What’s that! You’re taking care of Ritsuka! Did you come to like him?”
Natsuo:
“Ritsuka! Ritsuka! Do you want to drink something? Yes I like him! His face is
so cute! And his ears!”
Ritsuka:
“Don’t touch me!”
Youji:
“Eeeh! But isn’t he a sadist?”
P53
Youji: “To
have his own fighter be that wounded...”
Natsuo:
“Ha! That’s horrible!”
Ritsuka:
“Is it... my fault?!”
Youji:
“Aren’t you aware of it? Isn’t it obvious? He decided that because of you.
Because of you, Soubi is always wounded.”
Ritsuka:
/Wha.../
Youji: “This
happened because he wanted to fight alone. Had it been Natsuo, I would have
never allowed this to happen. What a bad sacrifice you are.”
Ritsuka: /What!!/
P54
Youji:
“Usually if one’s fighter expands his sytem, even if you’re far away, a
sacrifice perceives it! Because they are connected! But you’re not. Soubi could
have called you for ever, you wouldn’t have heard him. No, that’s not even it,
Soubi haven’t called you. Do you know what is it? It’s shame! You’re not connected, you’re not his unique partner.”
P55
Natsuo: “Don’t
be that tormented. Do you know about the time when Soubi was with Seimei?”
Ritsuka:
/But... what can I do?/
Natsuo:
“They were reaaaally strong! And famous! You don’t use Soubi perfectly.”
Ritsuka:
/What can I do? What must I do?/
P56
Ritsuka:
“...please...tell me...I beg you to tell me what I don’t understand... I can’t
stand it anymore!!”
Natsuo:
“It’s okay. We’ll tell you everything.”
P57
Ritsuka:
/his finger/
Natsuo:
“Please have some.”
Ritsuka: /I
don’t wanna drink coffee/ “Ouch!”
Youji: “Be
carefull, it’s very hot. Well then, ‘how to use a fighter properly’.”
Natsuo:
“It’s beginning! It’s beginning!”
Ritsuka:
“yes...!”
