supika

Translated by Kudou Omi
Note: Okay so as usual I’m not fluent in japanese, and I’m losing my English due to lack of practice, so you may expect a few (if not a lot lol) mistakes. No one’s perfect! ;)
This translation was first done for a
scanlation team. You can find them on irc at #ShiMi@irc.y-hosting.net. They’ll soon release the first
chapter of Rokutousei Supika ^______^
Translation note: Supika is the heroine’s name, but also the astronomy item she uses. It’s pronunciated ‘supika’ but I couldn’t let it this way, and what was closest to this sound in English is ‘speaker’, though I’m not sure the author thought of this word when he named it.
P4
Supika: “Principal! What does it mean? I’m only third Star according to the test results!! You teachers’ eyes are knotholes!”
Principal: “Please quiet down, Gotou-kun. The grades go from sixth star to first star! And women can become third stars at best.”
Supika: “Isn’t it sexual discrimination!?”
Principal: “So you say, but we had to make decisions…”
P5
Supika: “Decisions, decisions… Do you want to know my real strength? I’ll show you how I can use astrology, you’ll change your mind!!”
Principal: “Hey! You can’t use magic here! Teachers, stop her!!”
Men: “Stop it!” “What would you do if the principal gets hurt?” “Get out of principal’s room!!”
Supika: “Crap!! don’t touch me!!”
Principal: “phew… really…”
Supika: “Grrr! I’m pissed off!!!”
P6
Supika: “That moron!! ...oops! Lunch break is almost over! Let’s stop practicing!”
Iori: “What’s wrong, Supika? Is it still because of what happened?”
Supika: “Right! It’s because that bald guy just wouldn’t listen!! You said it yourself!!”
Iori: “Stop eating this much or you’ll be fat!”
P7
Supika: “It’s all right! I can eat all I want without putting on weight!”
Iori: *sigh* “Heee~”
Supika: “Ha! Let’s use astrology!! I wanna know if I’ll become fat!”
Iori: “No way! We can’t use astrology or astronomy for such ridiculous matters.”
Supika: “I’ve been had” *text: ‘ridiculous matters’? It’s very important for a woman. Because astronomy is difficult..*
Iori: “More importantly, your raid in the Principal’s room ended well! You’ve been warned, but waht will you do if your results fell down!?”
P8
Supika: “but...”
[To graduate in this school, you’ve got to qualify in the art of astrology. There’s no need for third Star students...]
dark haired guy: Astronomer
blond guy: fortune teller
[I want to help people with astrology.]
[Besides...]
Iori: “Lunch break is over. Let’s go back to the classroom.”
Supika: “Y... yeah...”
P9
Supika: /Amano Seiichi, in third year!!/
Student: “What’s with that girl!?” “to be this aggressive with Amano-san!!”
P10
students: “Hey! What are you doing!!” “Ah! She’s that girl in first year...”
Amano: “Ignore her! It’s nothing.”
Supika: /Don’t joke, bastard! I’ll erase those bad manners towards women!!/
P11
Supika: /Wait a little more! I’ll pay you back for that time!!/
Students: “That puppil, we saw her at the beginning of the first term.” “Isn’t she the first year girl who opposed Amano-san?”
Amano: “Yeah. You’re right, it was that girl...”
Supika: “Hey you!! Who do you think you are?! Do you think you can bump into this girl without apologizing?”
Amano: “Shut up! She’s a woman. Get out of my sight.”
P12
Supika: “What!?”
Student: “this person’s astrology item is the ‘Star’. This type is the Virgo birth star... The Speaker.”
P13
Amano: “A Speaker...?”
Student: “It’s coming!”
Supika: “Wha...” What’s that?
P14
Amano: “You’re so frail.” “fu~”
P15
Supika: /Th... that guy!/
Iori: “Are you all right? Sorry, and thank you. I’m Date Iori, in first year. I’m a fortune-teller. Ad you are...?”
Supika: “A fortune-teller? I Haven’t choosen my partner yet. It would be great if you hadn't one too."
Iori: “I am looking for one too.”
Supika: “Really? Wonderful~! This way, if we join our strength, we’ll be able to defeat those two bastards!!” the determination of revenge.
Iori: “Yes, we could do that.”
Supika: “We’ll do it someway!”
P16
Sensei : “What are you saying, Gotou ? Isn’t a Speaker the strongest device a woman can have? Except this, there are only men’s first and second Stars.”
Supika : “Really ?”
Sensei: “You should have leanrt that in class! Didn’t you pay attention? Okay, revision.”
Gotou: “Ge!”
Sensei: “In the use of the art of astrology, there are the star, the sun and the moon. The star and the moon stand for yin, while the sun stands for yang.”
“Each of these three generate different types of items. The item you use is determined by your own strength, so that you get your maximal level.”
“They can protect people from all misfortunes, but there are some to make mistakes using them.”
Supika: “I see...”
Teacher: “Hey! Don’t be sad! If ou’ve been using a Speaker for some time, your star is very strong! If you do your best, can’t it become the equal as men’s highest items?”
P17
“More than 6 months passed... I think i’m stronger than before but... What do you think?”
Teacher: “Hey Gotou, your next lesson is about to start. You should go back to your classroom.”
Supika: “Ha! Yes.”
Teacher: “Hm? This Speaker...”
P18
Teacher: “It’s an experienced Speaker! And his brightness is very deep, he must be very strong!”
Supika: /really?/ “Of course! He’s my Star after all!”
Teacher: “You and Date had very good results this term. Just as I said when you entered this school if you worked hard.”
Supika: /Then.../
P19
Principal: “What should I do...? Consult the main school?”
Amano: “Hadn’t you decided it was inapropriate? Women were banned from school from the start. Astrology and astronomy have been protected this way for many thousand years, until that law was passed not long ago to allow them to enter this school. Will you allow women to reach even the highest level? Moreover, the main school won’t change the state of things for one stupid student.”
Principal: “You must be right, Seiichi. But this woman has no fear...”
Amano: “Fear?”
P20
Amano: “That girl in first year, she’ll have to cooperate.”
Principal: “Haa!!”
Amano: “From now on, I’ll report any intolerable behaviour, Father.”
Principal: “Ye... yes, please...”
P21
Student: “Gotou Supika... her skill and notes are always at the top. And she still wants to get revenge from Amano-san... According to the rumor, she has the same level as the first Star students. And she uses a Speaker if I’m not mistaken. A Speaker is a changing Star. Could it be true...”
P22
Amano: “Whatever is her strength, she’s still only a woman. She has no chance against us.”
Iori: “We’ve got a problem, Supika!”
Supika: “Huh?”
Iori: “I was somewhat worried about you, so I read the stars. Then...”
P23
Iori: “It said: ’Toward this evening, the Star and the Sun will be in conflict’. Their moves will reveal two persons... The Star stands for you, and ths Sun would be... Amano Seiichi? His astronomy item is the sun, right?”
Supika: “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, Iori.”
P24
Supika: “Anyway, I wanted to give him back what I owe him.”
Iori: “But he’s a first Star student... Isn’t it dangero...”
Supika: “It’s okay! I’ll kick him down!!”
P25
Amano: “Where the hell does this confidence come from?”
P26
Iori: “It’s a shield of light. You can’t see anything when you’re in its circle.”
Supika: “Bastard! To hide everything from me is unfair!!” /that fool! He’s looking down on me! I’ll have him stop making fun of women!!!/ “Iori! Find Amano’s exact position!!”
Iori: “Huh? Yes!!”
P27
Student: “There’s also a fortune-teller. She’ll be able to read our position...”
Amano: “It’s not a problem if she sees us.”
Student: “Huh?”
Amano: “It’s only a Speaker. She can’t destroy the shield of light anyway.”
P28
P29
Supika: “No...”
P30
Supika: “Wow... It almost involved the birds.”
Student: “A... Amano-san!!”
Teacher: “Hey! What are you doing!?!”
P31
Teacher: “Fortune-telling and the use of astronomy are prohibited outside the practice hours!!”
Principal: “Is it right? Astrology is to read the move of heavenly bodies. You can even forsee the spontaneous will to do evil from an individual. And we even had to use the art of astronomy to deal with this! You mustn’t use astronomy in a quarrel!! Gotou Supika, you’re suspended from school for having repeatedly ignored our warnings...
P32
Principal: “And you’re lowered to the grade of sixth Star as well!”
Supika: “Ye~~~s! I understa~nd!”
Amano: “You fell back to the sixth Star grade?”
P33
Supika: “Arg! Amano! You were listening to us?! I don’t care at all!”
Amano: “That time... When you protected the birds... You used a good technique. Where did you get such skills?”
P34
Supika: “You can be lowered to any star, but your ability won’t change. I’ll be back to third Star soon! Then I’ll become a fist Star without fail!!”
