Hakuoki Yuugiroku 2 Drama CD - Undelivered Letters, Uncommunicated Hearts Eng translation

Well, I figured since it's Hakuoki's 16th anniversary, I'd look for something with Hakuoki in it, and the person who gave him that name, even if it's stupid (there's usually a lot of stupidity in Yuugiroku associated things imo)... so I settled on translating this drama since it was the first one I saw in my files that was most definitely not in the 20-30min range, though this is probably around 15 minutes long... which likely contributed to how long it felt to translate (more than 100 lines in this!).

Also, as of right now, I'm not sure if I'll work on the crossover stuff right now or put that off until October (trying to figure out my schedule since I do want to finish off the last of the Deemo content and I know that I'll be ignoring everything once Veilguard comes out)... going to look for something short to see I can work on something that I'll be be to put out faster to make up for my missing my normal postings.

Anyway, enjoy~!

Translation by KumoriYami

(door opens)

Souji: Hijikata-san~ you free~?

Hijikata: Souji….! Didn't I tell... to not just barge into another person's room without knocking?

Souji:….You're still as petty as before~

Hijikata: Ha?

Okita: Regardless of how many times you remind me, I still forget. So Hijikata-san, I'd like you to tell me again next time~

Hijikata: Don't you always knock when you go to Kondou-san's room?

Okita: Ahaha~ that's seriously unimaginable. Ah, rather than that, this is for you.

Hijikata: What is it... a letter... who sent it?

Okita: Well… there's no sender's name written on it. One of thee neighbour kids said that he was asked by someone to deliver this.

Hijikata: Why does one of the neighbour kids have a letter a letter addressed to me?

Okita: I don't know. That kid had been asked by someone to deliver this. The other person apparently said something about "help me deliver this to the man in the Shinsengumi with long hair" or something. I can only think of someone with long hair who receives letters from outsiders is Hijikata-san.

Hijikata: But, none of the people I know would send me a letter through a child. Additionally, I believe there is another person here who has long hair... Let me see... "To my wife/My wife"...

Okita: Areh... how strange, Hijikata-san, you're still a bachelor/single, aren't you?

Hijikata: Even if I was married, I wouldn't be a "wife"! What the hell is wrong with this letter?

Okita: Nn... there are no married women at headquarters.

Hijikata: In the first place, there aren't any women! Besides, temples are generally off-limits to women.

Okita: That's right~ though there is a girl disguised as a man here. Areh, do you think she'll [no pronoun here] by struck by lightning for doing that?

Hijikata: What, Souji, what the hell are you saying, they should be a boy, right?

Okit: It doesn't matter to us, but I wonder if the gods and Buddhas will see through it? And this place is inside a temple.

Hijikata: Generally speaking, even if the gods and Buddhas know the truth, they would not punish a girl for living here. Even the gods and Buddhas would not do such a petty thing.

Okita: Hmph, as expected of Hijikata-san, you're really good at confusing right and wrong/turn black into white [idiom here]. Stop talking nonsense and read the letter.

Hijikata: You were the one who first changed the subject! Seriously...

......

Hijikata: Ah………………

Okita: Hm…………………………

Hijikata: Well………… how do I put this………… the handwriting is quite elegant and beautiful………………

Okita: The handwriting is quite beautiful…………………………

Hijikata:……Actually what's written is incomprehensible…………

Okita:……I can read it, but I can't understand what he wants to say when I read it…………

Hijikata: Hmm… This tone of this is humble on the surface, but its inner contempt is really headache inducing...

Okita: It uses a very arrogant approach, as if it's from someone standing on top of a mountain and looking down over the world…

Hijikata: In other words, this letter is a challenge…?

Okita: You know… generally speaking, those kind of letters are not written to a “wife”, are they…

Hijikata: Well... I can understand the sentence "I'll be waiting for you under the cedar tree behind Nishi Honganji Temple" at the end of the letter…

Okita: I can only understand that sentence. Anyway, let’s go and check it out, if the writer of this letter is waiting there, we can ask him for the details.

Hijikata:...Souji, just in case, I'd like to make sure, if this is a trap set to assassinate us, what should we do?

Okita: Needless to say, of course, we catch the other person and pay them back by giving them a taste of what assassination is. I don't believe that anyone in Kyoto will be able to escape from me and Hijikata-san, right?

Hijikata: Hmph, let's go and confirm this then..

....

(Hijikata and Okita arrive at the designated location)

Hijikata: I remember the appointed time, it should be the evening, right?

Okita: The other person should be here by now~

(footsteps)

???: You two, why are you here?

Okita: You are... Kazama Chikage!

Hijikata: Are you the guy who wants to assassinate us?

Kazama: What nonsense are you saying now?

Okita: What do you think, Hijikata-san?

Hijikata: From his confused expression, it doesn't look like he was seriously coming here…

Kazama: Hey! What are you talking bout! Answer my question first! Why are you two here?!

Hijikata: You're still as arrogant as ever. It's not like we came here by choice. It's just that headquarters received a strange letter and since we couldn't leave it alone, we came to check it out.

Kazama: A strange letter?

Okita: They asked us to meet here in the evening. They other party wanting to assassinate us - we have to prepare for the worst/we even prepared for the worst case scenario.

Hijikata: Were you the guy that sent the letter?

Kazama: Che, you're really good at framing others. Besides, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even have to use such a troublesome method like writing a letter. I would just go ahead and kill you. could just kill you directly.

Okita: In fact, you've attacked us before.

Kazama: The Aizu Domain, which the Shinsengumi answer to, and the Satsuma Domain, which I am lending a hand to, are currently in a cooperative relationship for the time being, and if it weren't for something directly related to that girl, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you.

Hijikata: So that's how it is.

Kazama: (...That stupid brat... I clearly told him to give the letter to the girl with "her hair tied up high, whose beauty is reflected in her radiant smile, with her petite figure that exudes a sense of gentleness that remains an untarnished as she remain a delicate flower while being surrounded by the filth of the Shinsengumi,” and yet he…)

Hijikata: Huh? What the hell are you mumbling about? Did you hear what he said, Souji?

Okita: I heard it… Ha…It's not for a game of communication, so why did you have to say such complicated things to a kid…

Kazama: Shut up! Keep your mouth shut!

Hijikata: Anyway, if this letter wasn’t written for an assassination plot, then it must be some kind of confidential document, right?

Okita: So that's how it is~~~ So you’re saying that it was purposefully written to be hard to understand to hide important information? Now that you mention it, the letter does feel like a cipher.

Kazama: You think that letter is hard to understand? What do you mean?

Hijikata: Even if you ask what that means, it’s difficult to explain that right away…

Okita: Hey, Hijikata-san, the Satsuma Domain and the Shinsengumi are in a cooperative relationship right now, so if Kazama has nothing to do with this letter, it should be fine to read it to him, right?

Hijikta: Huh?

Okita: (Think about it, if this is unrelated to tht child, Kazama is unlikely to resort to force. Let's forget about it this time.) Well~ if Kazama wrote this letter to that child, it's a different story.

Kazama: [awkward laughter, sounding extremely unconfident] Ha... ha, ahhahahaha... the one named Okita, what you said is quite interesting. There’s no way I’d write a letter to that girl, and even if I did, how could it end up in your hands.

Hijikata: That's true. The oni appear to be much more capable than humans.

Kazama: Heh… You are quite smart, Hijikata.

Okita: Then, perhaps Kazama will understand the meaning behind this letter, so I'll read it out loud. This is a rare opportunity , and I'd love to hear Kazama's opinions~

Kazama: Huh~ I can guess what the contents of that letter are. Fine, never mind it, just read it out loud and show how elegantly it's been written.

Okita: Pfft, ahahahahaha~!

Hijikata: Sorry to disappoint you, there’s nothing interesting about this letter.

Kazama: Wh-What...!?

Okita: (opens letter) Nn... "In welcoming the early summer breeze, and listening to the musical from the festivals, my wife's heart must thumping with joy."...

Kazama: Heh. How poetic. The content clearly reflects the writer's intellect, doesn’t it?

Hijikata: Referring to someone who isn’t even their wife as “my wife” just shows that this person is delusional.

Kazama: Kuh...!!

Okita: I'm sure that within my wife's heart, a wish has begun to form, and if you are willing to lower your head and beg me to fulfill it, I may grant/fulfill it as your husband."....… Eh, I have absolutely no idea what he’s trying to say with this statement.

Kazama: That’s because your reading comprehension is terrible.

Hijikata: Then... do you understand what it means?

Kazama: Of course. This is a letter inviting the other party to a festival.

Hijikata:……Why not just say that from the start!!!

Kazama: What? You are a fool who doesn't know what love is.

Hijikata: I’m telling you, no one in the world would interpret this as “I'm going through the trouble of inviting you to a festival"!!!

Okita: The whole "musical from festivals" thing is completely unrelated! Moreover, what’s with the "lower head and beg me"? Is this an invitation to the other person, or a threat?

Kazama: What are you not convinced by? That was a high-class invitation.

Hijikata: Stop talking nonsense! I don't know which idiot wrote this, how could anyone write a letter like this to a woman/their wife [the word here can be translated to either "woman" or "wife"]!

Okita: Yeah, that’s impossible~ they're blindly arrogant, and totally off-topic~

Kazama: You two bastards… to actually join forces…

Hijikata: Huh? What's wrong with you?

Okita: We weren't saying that Kazama is an idiot~ right, Hijikata-san?

Hijikata: That's right, we’re just saying that “this letter wasn’t written by a normal person.” If you’re really trying to invite a girl, instead of spouting nonsense, why not just outright say, “Let’s go to the festival together”? That's what a decisive man would do [I think?].

Kazama:......Hmph.... But, it's impossible for a simple letter to convey the depth of one's admiration.

Okita: Hei~ But even if there was a lot of long-winded and superfluous content, I'm afraid that nothing would be expressed either.

Hijikata: Right, this letter is a perfect example of that. No, it's more like a bad example.

Kazama: You need to understand that this letter conveys the love the love for a wife!! What’s wrong with this love letter!?

Souji: Ah~ This was supposed to be a love letter?

Hijikata: You’ve got to be kidding!!!

Kazama: What is there to be surprised about?

Okita: It's because it says things like "be honoured to walk beside me," and "I'm willing to hold your hand if you want me to," all of which are things that would make the other person completely hate them.

Kazama:...Ha-Hate...!?

Hijikata: If they sincerely like the other person, before boasting about themselves with a contemptuous tone, they need to show respect for the other person first! They should clearly state what they like about her! Even a three-year-old could do that!!!

Okita: If this is really a love letter, I really want to give some advice to the person that wrote it.

Kazama:......Uh......I see/Is that so……

Hijikata: Speaking of which, Kazama! You are you here?

Kazama: Hmph, of course I just happened to bee passing by here. My apologies, but I don't have time to play around with you anymore.

Hijikata:...Hey, hey, Kazama!

Kazama: Although I really want to say "remember this", it's fine if you forget about today! Goodbye!

(Kazama runs off)

Okita:...Ah, he ran away.

Hijikata: He fled way surprisingly quickly.

Okita: What can I say, the truth about humans can be extremely harsh. If he still doesn’t understand what's going on after all that, he’s frighteningly stupid, right, Hijikata-san?

Hijikata: It was just because I couldn't stand him doing something to that guy. In any case, Kazama will probably stay quiet for a while now.

Okita: Areh? Could it be that you were aware of the truth?

Hijikata: Well, what exactly is the truth.

Okita: Is that why you were playing dirty to protect that child?

Hijikata: Don't make such a disgusting smile, Souji. I just don't want him doing anything because Yukimura Chizuru is nothing more than a member under the Shinsengumi's jurisdiction/is someone under the care of the Shinsengumi [could also be interpreted as being "a member of the Shinsengumi], so don't make any weird speculations.

Okita: As expected of Hijikata-san, for the purpose of protecting a girl, you willingly transform into a demon.

Hijikata: Didn't I tell you to stop talking nonsense!...... Hey, Souji... you actually knew the truth from the beginning, did that on purpose, right! ?

Okita: Hahahaha~ then let's run back to headquarters~! (runs off)

Hijikata: Hey~!!! Stop right there!! Stop running!!

(runs)

....

Hijikata Toshizou, Miki Shinchiro

Okita Souji, Morikubo Shotaro

image from suruga-ya.... and this took a lot longer than I thought it would, mainly on account of Kazama. It's quite difficult to translate his parts unfortunately since they have significantly more words in one sentence.

No matter how often I re-watch this scene, it tears me apart. The way Chizuru immediately turns to seek out Hijikata, the way Chikage is so desperate to keep her safe but loves her enough to let her go... 💔

I love your kazama x kagome fic so much! ^^ from your pov, what do you think makes kazama so different from sesshomaru?

I haven't seen the Hakuouki anime so this is just my opinion on Kazama from the games but the short answer is - Kazama is like Sesshoumaru but with heaps more pride and a bratty/entitled/arrogant attitude.

I’ll break this down into three parts: As a lover, as a fighter, as a character. (Get ready for an essay XD)

As a lover:

His character in a romantic sense is more like… an in between of Sesshoumaru and Kouga. We don't know what Sesshoumaru is like in Canon in a romantic sense, but Kazama is verbally possessive by insisting on the whole 'my wife' thing but through his actions, we see that he supports MC in his route by 'doing whatever she wants.' He travels with her for two years, following leads about the Shinsengumi just so she might meet them again. From this we can infer that his love language is Acts of Service. He asks her what she wants to do next at each stage and then arranges transport, clothing and essentials like food and lodgings. He's quite attentive as a potential lover, (as seen in side stories from other games that are fan translated) arranging dates, gifting MC clothing and encouraging her to 'show every side of herself' to him. He wants her to be honest and open even if she's sad or grieving over the Shinsengumi. You'd expect a character like Kazama to be incredibly jealous but aside from a few moments, he's respectful of her autonomy if MC shows she has pride and conviction to see her goal through to the end.

With MC he's also very sure of himself in terms of relying on his wealth and power to attract her. He's teasing, and at times physical with MC (he grabs her chin a lot), though seems very incompetent with expressing affection honestly, a lot like a tsundere. He acts a little strangely by not being honest with MC about buying a gift ‘specifically for her’ and just so happened to have gotten it (and then slips up later) or lies about staying up all night to watch the fire (this is strange because Kazama never lies as part of the Demon Code.) Likewise, if he gifts her clothing he’ll make a remark like - ‘you will wear it, in exchange for the date I’m taking you on.’ In this way, he has a punchable but kissable personality as a love interest.

As a fighter:

Kazama is more barbaric/merciless to foes. Sesshoumaru uses more showy moves with flips, twirls and somersaults because he can fly and likes to prove his superiority over Inuyasha by flaunting how hard it is to land a hit on him. Don't get me wrong, Sesshoumaru can also be aggressive with punches and such or thrusting his hand through Inuyasha's back but they tend to serve a purpose- he thrusts his fingers into Inuyasha eye in order to get the black pearl, or he'll stab Inuyasha to keep hold of Tetsusaiga. Kazama however is downright cruel by inflicting pain on fallen opponents if they don't admit defeat- digging his fingers into bullet wounds, shoving their face into the ground repeatedly until they bleed or slicing at them with his sword over and over again. It's precise and designed to hurt for no larger reason than to make them feel pain. It says in his wiki that if he needs to do something he considers 'unpleasant' then he'll extract the most entertainment out of it possible. Therefore he seems to want to humiliate the stronger of his opponents in defeat and by extension assert his superiority that way.

As a character:

Kazama generally radiates a ton of smugness. He's more expressive than Sesshoumaru with both his facial expressions and mannerisms. Going into their backgrounds - Sesshoumaru suffers from daddy issues and sibling jealousy/rivalry. Kazama suffers from generational trauma. Both of these are left unsaid but can be inferred from how they talk about certain things. Kazama loathes humans arguably more than Sesshoumaru does because Kazama is at a point later on in history than Sesshoumaru is, and has therefore seen the genocide of demons. Humans (the shogunate) wiped a lot of them out or betrayed the clans, and then later on developed a drug from demon blood that could turn soldiers into furies or 'fake demons.' Sesshoumaru hates humans because they’re weak and his dad banged one. We don't know if his dad cheated on his mom or if she allowed him to have a mistress or anything about Sesshoumaru's home life.

We don't know for sure what Sesshoumaru's likes and dislikes are because they're not stated aloud but we can assume he likes combat, swords, fine clothing, walking and cloud watching (and later on cares for the children he protects.) He dislikes Inuyasha, Naraku, half demons and humans. Kazama likes/appreciates architecture, visiting shrines and temples, saké and his wife. From how he speaks, he also seems to know a lot about history and folk tales. He's defo more of a talker than Sesshoumaru as in one short story he talks about 'a foxes wedding procession' that happens when it rains on clear nights, a folklore tale. He dislikes humans and furies/fakes.

Sesshoumaru's home is never mentioned in Canon though from what we see of his mother's castle we can assume he ‘might’ have one of his own. Kazama’s whole village isn't shown from what I’ve seen but he lives close to the ocean. At the very end of one of the other games’ routes, he severs ties with the Satsuma who protected his clan during the demon genocides, and then says he will be moving his clan yet again, vowing to protect everyone.

I think we tend to forget how much of Sesshoumaru is ‘fan Sesshoumaru.’ There isn't actually a lot known about him in Canon. Kazama is kinda like 'fan Sesshoumaru' because he's stated to be the 'Lord of the West' in the actual text (though they mean the Lord of the western oni clans). We get more demon politics from him and see that he listens in most routes to Amagiri's advice, showing he's not fully rigid in his thinking and will listen to his fellow demons. Even at his very worst in Saito’s route- when Amagiri betrays him, Kazama doesn't kill him. There's more of a sense that he belongs to his people because he has such pride in his village/heritage and wants to assure their safety at the end of his route, moving them away from the reaches of war and humans. As part of the demon code, Kazama is forbidden from killing other demons but even if he ‘could’ at his lowest, he doesn't kill Amagiri- which shows I don't think he would anyway. He has so much pride and appreciation for demons as a whole that he doesn't want to kill one of his own. Sesshoumaru kills demons without a second thought if they’re in his way. This shows a difference in values and priorities. Sesshoumaru can afford to kill at his leisure because demons are still somewhat in their prime- Kazama is at a point where every demon matters and counts, to the point that he’ll stalk MC for years because he wants to take her away from humans to live with her fellow demons.

So uh yeah...hope that answers your question anon bahaha
