Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha SOUND STAGE 03
01 Nanoha to Yuuno
01 Nanoha and Yuuno
Nanoha: Greetings, this is Takamachi Nanoha speaking. Some time has passed since the end of that small case/incident which started/erupted with my meeting with Yuuno-kun and the otherworldly (interdimensional) relic, Lost Logia Jewel Seed.
I went through hardship and battle among other things, until finally I became friends with that mage who was the same age as me, Fate-chan. Though I’m still separated from her. Since then, no other magical cases/situations have erupted around me. So I’ve returned to being an utterly normal third grader… Or at least I supposed to, but I’ve thought it over (Alt trans: But other things turned up).
Yuuno: Right, converge/gather/concentrate mana. Try to hold on it as tightly as possible without it leaking out.
Nanoha: Urg, it’s a bit hard/difficult though…
Yuuno: Yes, like that. Try to maintain that!
Nanoha: Okay!
Yuuno: Well done, you’re amazing Nanoha!
Nanoha: Thank you. Even now, I’m continuing my magic practice. As usual, Yuuno-kun is my magic teacher. Well then, that’s all for today’s magic practice
Yuuno: Good work/Thanks for your hard work.
Nanoha: Yeah. The only difference from before is that I don’t rely/depend on Raising Heart as heavily and working/practicing on using/manipulating Raising Heart. Oh? Hello, this is Nanoha.
Amy: Hey, good morning Nanoha-chan.
Nanoha: Oh, Amy-san.
Chrono: Good morning Nanoha.
Nanoha: Hey Chrono-kun. Since that incident/case/day, I’ve been keeping in touch with everyone at the TSAB. Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Sound Stage 03, Episode 14: Afterwards.
Chrono: How was your magic practice? Good progress?
Nanoha: Yes, and the magic textbook you made for me is very easy to understand. And Yuuno-kun has been teaching me too.
Chrono: That’s great.
Amy: But, it’s amazing, to think that you started without zero knowledge of magic and have become so skilled at using magic so quickly!
Nanoha: Er, I’m sure it’s because Raising Heart was so amazing/well made.
Lindy: That’s not true at all.
Nanoha: Oh, Lindy-san.
Lindy: No matter how great/excellent the device, if the user is not able/skilled, then it would be impossible to draw out its true strength/potential.
Yuuno: That’s right, and Raising Heart has now completely acknowledged Nanoha as her Master.
Nanoha: Yeah…
Lindy: That’s right, Nanoha-san possess unlimited/overflowing potential and future as mage…
Nanoha: Ah, er, heh.
Lindy: So, it can be after you graduate from the school you’re at now (note: yup, no age restrictions for the TSAB) and I’ll listen/let you decide where you want to reside and your desires too. So why don’t you think about joining my outfit? The salary’s great and the benefits/perks are amazing! (alt trans: and has complete health and dental benefits too!)
Nanoha: Um, I think I’ve told you this before but in my world, in particular my country for a child like me join up/sign up to the military is a bit, how do you say…
Amy: Oh, I’ve done some research since then/about that. It appears on Nanoha-san’s country, children must go through compulsory education until they’re fifteen. (note: completely missing the point here…)
Lindy: Oh how troublesome. So in another six years.
Nanoha: Ah, hahahaha…
Chrono: Captain, she’s out in the open, so please refrain from recruiting.
Lindy: Okay.
Chrono: Sorry about that, it’s just that the TSAB is short of hands. In particular skilled/powerful triple A class mages are pretty rare.
Amy: Oh, Captain, Alex’s been calling for you a little while.
Lindy: Really? I told him he could contact me by telepathy if needed me. I wonder what he wants.
Nanoha: I see.
Chrono: Superb/Superior/Excellent mages who possess a familiar like you and Fate-chan
Amy: It seems to be about the observation data.
Lindy: I see.
Nanoha: Fate-chan has Arf-san, but I don’t have a familiar.
Chrono: Sure you do the one that’s riding on your shoulder there.
Yuuno: Wha? I, I am not a familiar! I am a human mage!
Chrono: Oh I see, I completely forgot. I always seem to see you in that form.
Yuuno: What did you say?
Nanoha: Oh, you transformed.
Yuuno: How’s this!
Chrono: Hm, I can’t see/detect any flaws/defects/imperfections when you transform into your human form. A truly well made/superb familiar.
Yuuno: Erg, it’s not as if I’m annoyed because I’m being mistaken for a familiar. But when Chrono says it, it feels like he’s saying it to spite me!
Chrono: You’re just imagining things. I’m praising/flattering you, saying that you’re a superb…
Yuuno: Liar! Tell me Chrono, why are you antagonizing/provoking/riling me (up) like this?
Chrono: Huh, aren’t you being overly sensitive/paranoid? If that’s the case, then tell me. Why are you talking to me (so rudely) without any honorifics?!
Yuuno: You’re the one who told me I could call you without any honorifics! And besides Chrono, when Nanaho called you Chrono-kun, you went all blushy and everything! (bad translation)
Chrono: What?! WHO?! When? At what month, day, hour, minute? Do you have any proof?
Yuuno: You’re reaction is my proof!
Chrono: What did you say?!
Nanoha: Ahahah, how nice. The guys/boys getting along so well.
Yuuno: Nanoha, I think you’ve got the wrong idea (alt trans: You’re wrong).
Chrono: Unbelievable…
Amy: Well, in any case let’s leave the naughty boys to themselves. To be honest, this message is the usual one about that girl you’re so worried about/interested in.
Nanoha: Oh, I see!
Amy: Two days ago was her second public hearing/trial and now she’s waiting for her sentence. During that time, she’s been through some hearings but I think she’s been progressing well. The details of the matter are, hey Chrono-kun explain.
Chrono: Okay. You’re friend, Fate Testarossa has been involved in a very serious case/incident and there are voices calling for a very long jail sentence/punishment. (bad trans) However, a TSAB Admiral and Enforcer have given their full testimony about her complete innocence. At worst, it’ll only just help lessen her sentence/punishment a bit. Fate’s been answering everything. All the data has been gathered. I’ve told you this before, but everything will be fine!
Nanoha: Yes, thank you.
Amy: Oh, and that package you were impatiently waiting for has been sent. Might have already arrived today.
Nanoha: Really?
Chrono: Yeah, once you make a reply/response to it, give us a call. I’ll take responsibility and hand it over to her.
Nanoha: Okay. Thank you.
Amy: Okay then, I’ll get in contact with you again. Oh, and I’ll make sure to have that line open for you latter on this evening.
Nanoha: Yes. I’ll be waiting for it.
Chrono: Oh, is something going on?
Amy: Just a secret between us girls.
Chrono: Hm, well never mind then. Hey Yuuno make sure you continue to teach Nanoha magic.
Yuuno: You don’t have to worry about it, I’ll be teaching her.
Chrono: You’re not cute at all.
Yuuno: It’s fine to me if I’m not cute!
Nanoha: Well then, see you later.
Amy: Later!
Nanoha: I wonder if it’s arrived already.
Yuuno: It might have.
Nanoha: Then let’s go home!
02 Asa no Gakkou
02 School Morning (Morning at School)
Nanoha: Good morning!
Suzuka: Oh, Nanoha-chan.
Arisa: Morning Nanoha.
Nanoha: Arisa-chan, Suzuka-chan, good morning!
Suzuka: Did something happen Nanoha-chan? You look so happy.
Nanoha: Look at this!
Suzuka: Oh, that!
Arisa: A video mail from Fate?
Nanoha: Yup, a DVD. Came in this morning
Suzuka: Oh, she answered back. I’m so glad for you Nanoha-chan.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Arisa: Did you see it already?
Nanoha: Nope, I thought we could all watch it together.
Arisa: Okay then, after school let’s go to my house and watch it together.
Suzuka: Oh, how fun.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Fate-chan was the main player’s /accused in a very serious case/incident, so she is currently being investigated and attending her court trial, so she can’t contact other dimensional humans in real time. But Lindy-san told us, that if it’s by video mail, she can allow us exchange letters to see each other’s face and hear each other voices. So, even though I and Fate-chan are far away (separated) from each other, we’re still keeping in touch through video mail. In my third response/message, I told Fate-chan that I wanted to introduce her to my parents and friends. So I asked her to create a disk that keeps magic and that incident/case a secret for her next message. Me and Yuuno-kun’s gotten used to the routine of sending disks to each other. The disk delivered today is the third one now.
03 Haha to Musuko - Kanchou to Shitsumukan
03 Mother and Son – Captain and Enforcer
Chrono: Oh, Captain. Are you done with your business/errands?
Lindy: Yes, it was just a small thing.
Chrono: In the training room, since Fate is returning by evening, so I thought I’d prepare it for her.
Lindy: I see. Today’s the day the investigation hearing is supposed to end, right?
Chrono: Yes it is. Fate should be able to move freely within the Athra/Asura now. It’s quite helpful/handy to have her available/as a partner for magic combat practice.
Lindy: That’s true. Oh, if only Fate-san and Nanoha-san join our outfit? Think about it for a second, how wonderful and advantageous it would be to have three triple A class mages on one ship! And the three mages have clearly/cleanly specialized (unique qualities/abilities/characteristics) in completely different disciplines!
Chrono: We can’t draft/force/coerce them. Those girls are the only ones who can choose their future.
Lindy: That’s true but…
Chrono: Oh, and how would the Captain like to match my meal times? Then we match it to Fate’s arrival? It seems that Amy is going to show off her cooking skills then.
Lindy: Oh really?
Chrono: It’s a good thing if everyone can have dinner together.
Lindy: Oh yes, that’s absolutely true.
04 Kimochi Wakeaete
04 Shared Feelings
Arisa: Ah, I’m home!
N+S: Sorry to bother you!
Arisa: Johnson, I’m home.
Suzuka: How are you Johnson?
Arisa: Hey Suzuka, turn on the TV will you?
Suzuka: Okay.
Woman: Excuse me; I’ve brought you all drinks.
Nanoha: Ah, thank you very much.
Arisa: Thanks, can you leave’em over there?
Woman: All right, well then…
Arisa: Okay, put in the dvd and… Come here Johnson. Ready? Starting to play!
Suzuka: How exciting.
Fate: Is it okay now?
Arf: Yup, it’s okay now. Go ahead.
Fate: Thank you. Greetings, thank you for your response. This is Fate, Nanoha it’s been awhile. I was happy to see your happy face and hear your voice, thank you Nanoha. Arisa, nice to meet you and hello. Thank you for lending me so many movie disks, I haven’t seen them all but whenever I’m free I watch a few in my room. I haven’t really watched all too many movies before, so they’re really enjoyable and new. Suzuka, nice to meet you and hello.
Suzuka: Nice to meet you.
Fate: Thank you for all the pictures and books. I’ve put the picture up in my room. My favourite one is the picture with all three of you in it, smiling. (can’t hear)
Nanoha: Oh, I wonder which one she’s talking about?
Suzuka: It’s probably that one my older sister took of us studying.
Arisa: Oh that one!
Fate: I haven’t read all the books, but I can see they’re all very nice books. The sort that warms my heart. I was thinking about stuff to send back to you but, sorry, I wasn’t able to think of anything.
Nanoha: Fate-chan’s voice was very quiet and gentle. It was as if she was a completely different person from the tragic girl I used to fight back then.
Fate: Um, er, I guess everything over here is the same as usual. Always busy and boring days.
Nanoha: But without a doubt, this is the real Fate-chan. She’s been through a lot of sad/sorrowful things but she laughs. She calls out words with her gentle voice. And when she does, my heart becomes so full and I remember all sorts of things.
Fate: I’ve watched video mail I’ve received from everyone over and over. When I watch them, I feel very happy. Thank you, Nanoha, Arisa, Suzuka…
Suzuka: Nanoha-chan…
Arisa: What’s with you? This isn’t the sort of thing to cry over.
Nanoha: Yeah, yeah I know. I know but…
Suzuka: Um, I’ll pause/stop it here for now.
Arisa: Hey, Nanoha, you went through a lot with/for this girl right? Because of this girl, you worried about her, got confused about her, and fought her, right?
Nanoha: Yeah, pretty seriously too.
Arisa: But you’re friends with her now. Friends enough to introduce us to her. And Fate’s smiling so happily.
Nanoha: Yeah…
Suzuka: Nanoha-chan, Fate-chan would laugh at you. There’s nothing to be sad about, and she’ll say Nanoha-chan is so strange.
Nanoha: Yeah, that’s true. She would laugh at me. Yeah, I’m fine now.
Arisa: Okay. We’ll start it again then.
Suzuka: Let’s rewind it a bit.
Nanoha: That’s right. I’m sure I’m happy for her. The feelings I wanted to show/tell her, has now been told/shared. We share the same feelings now.
06 Fate to Alf
06 Fate and Arf
Women: And that’s all for today’s investigation/inquiry hearing. Thanks for your patience/hard work.
Fate: Yes, thank you very much.
Arf: Same here…
Woman: I’ll meet you again at the TSAB naval ship. (bad translation) Number 8, Athra/Asura right?
Fate: Yes, please take good care of me.
Arf: Ah, so tired.
Fate: Thanks for your hard work today, Arf.
Arf: You know, trials sure are troublesome and tiring.
Fate: Yeah, very difficult.
Arf: My shoulders are all stiff, and I’m starving…
Fate: I heard that Amy’s going to make dinner for us. Why don’t we go straight home?
Arf: Yeah, that sounds good. Hey Fate… After the trial, what are you going to do? Thinking of accepting Lindy’s offer and joining the TSAB?
Fate: Hm, I haven’t really given it much thought. For now, I would like remain free and visit Nanoha.
Arf: I suppose.
Fate: Arf, is there any place you want to go to?
Arf: Not in particular. No matter what, remaining by Fate’s side is my place. A laughing/happy Fate, eating delicious food and having a fluffy towel, I would need nothing else.
Fate: Thank you, Arf…
07 Yuuno, Omou
07 Yuuno, Thoughts/Feelings
Nanoha: After practice/study, I parted ways with Arisa and Suzuka, and went home. I received another magical disk and watched it together with Yuuno
Fate: Well, continuing from last time, I’ll switch over Arf first okay?
Arf: Well, then… Yo, how’s it going chibi’s/small fry’s? I’m doing really well over here, and lately supervision is getting pretty loose now. I’ve been pretty good, so now I’m pretty much free to move around/do what I want. And I can go out and eat whenever I want. Oh that reminds me speaking of food; Amy is surprisingly good at cooking, I was surprised.
Nanoha: Oh~.
Yuuno: I see.
Arf: Oh Yuuno, are you watching?
Yuuno: Huh?
Arf: Our partners have both become friends now, so why don’t you and I become good friends too? When you have any free time, let’s go for a walk. If we can, let’s all go together, it’ll be fun!
Yuuno: That sounds nice.
Arf: Ah, um, er… I guess that’s all for now. Nothing more to add.
Fate: Oh, that’s all?
Arf: Yup.
Fate: Well, let’s switch then. Okay, what should I start talking about first? Oh I know I’ll talk about the HQ. Right now I’m in the process of an investigatory trial so I sometimes go visit HQ. I get there by having the Athra/Asura teleport me. And there…
Yuuno: Nanoha seems very happy to be able to share words and feelings with Fate. With the girl she was so worried about and wanted to be friends with so much.
Fate: … I think I’ve told you about this before; I thought it was a building but it was actually a ship. HQ facilities inside is really amazing. They even have a sports ground. It’s just so big, I’m really surprised. They even have department stores and numerous restaurants. It’s not so much as a ship as a town/city. I wonder if Nanoha will ever have the opportunity to come and visit.
Nanoha: I wonder…
Fate: I don’t know much about sports but… (can’t hear, Yuuno’s talking too loud)
Yuuno: I can’t get back to my homeland, so I’m staying at Nanoha’s right now. But it’s not as if I can remain on this world forever. One day, there will be a day where I’ll have to leave her. And that day is not that far off either. When that day comes, I wonder if Nanoha will share her tears and laughter with me like she does with Fate?
Fate: Oh that reminds me. Hey Yuuno… Are you still riding on Nanoha’s shoulders?
Yuuno: Ah… wha…?
Nanoha: What’s wrong Yuuno?
Yuuno: Oh, nothing.
Fate: I asked her last time, but I heard you were Nanoha’s partner and her magic teacher right? When we meet again, I was hoping you could teach me some magic. I’m pretty bad at armor and defensive magic…
Arf: Ahahah, same with me. We’re all about attack and movement magic, pretty much.
Nanoha: They’re relying on you Yuuno-kun.
Fate: I would like to learn and know much more. When that day comes, I’ll be depending on you, Yuuno-kun.
Yuuno: Yeah.
Nanoha: Even though I depend on you a lot too.
Fate: It would be great if we could practice magic together. Right now I’m practicing with Chrono a lot, but he treats me like a child. Chrono’s really strong. I’m sure if Nanoha fights Chrono, she would be hard-pressed to beat him.
Arf: That little brat has no mercy!
Yuuno: Even if I return to my homeland, or go far away, if I could with Nanoha… And with everyone I’ve met here, it would be great if I could keep in contact/connected with them…
09 Kizuna [Ima Made] to [Sore Kara]
09 Bonds [Until Now] and [Afterwards]
Amy: Oh, Fate-chan, Arf, you came back home!
Fate: Amy, I’m back.
Arf: We’re back!
Amy: Welcome back.
Fate: You’re wearing an apron, are you going to cook?
Amy: Yup, I’m all fired up!
Arf: Do you want us to help?
Fate: Me too!
Amy: Oh, it’s fine tonight. Why don’t you two go relax a bit?
Arf: Really?
Amy: Really! Oh Fate-chan, Captain said she wanted to talk to you and wants you to head to the bridge.
Fate: Really? Then I’ll go now, should I bring some tea to her?
Amy: Thanks, there’s some coffee in the break room.
Arf: Well then, I guess I’ll for a walk then.
Fate: Okay, have a safe walk.
Lindy: Hm, no accidents or disruptions to report today either.
Fate: Excuse me, Admiral Lindy.
Lindy: Oh, Fate-san, you’re back?
Fate: Yes, I’m back.
Lindy: Oh, sorry, you even brought me some tea.
Fate: Yes, please help yourself.
Lindy: Thank you! This particular coffee is from Nanoha-san’s parents’ coffee shop. I received it from Nanoha-san’s mother.
Fate: I see.
Lindy: Whether it’s hot or cold, it’s always delicious! Oh please, sit, sit.
Fate: Yes, excuse me.
Lindy: Well then, sorry about this. I’ve been very busy lately, and haven’t been able to talk to you since the case/incident.
Fate: Oh no, I’m sure it’s because you’re busy dealing with aftermath (closing) of my case.
Lindy: Oh, and I need to apologize once more for not letting you talk with Nanoha-san in real time.
Fate: Rules are rules. I will follow them. It’s enough that I’m allowed to exchange video mail with her, thank you very much.
Lindy: You’re a good girl. And… today, there’s something I wanted to ask you… It’s not because I’m a member of the TSAB that I’m asking this. You don’t have to force yourself to answer.
Fate: Yes?
Lindy: About your mother, how do you feel about her now?
Fate: Er, what a straight to the point question.
Lindy: Oh sorry, I shouldn’t have?
Fate: No… Let me see, a bit time has passed now and my feelings have managed to settle/clam down a bit. As the trial/hearings progressed I began to learn more about my mother’s past… At first I was confused, but now, despite all that have happened to me. I strangely don’t feel any feelings of resentment or betrayal… But rather… To her, from the beginning to the very end, I was the results of a failed experiment and a useless doll to my mother.
Lindy: Fate-san, that’s…
Fate: Oh sorry, I’m not saying that to hurt/torture/disparage myself. Rather, I’m saying it in the sense of… to make my words reflecting the bare facts/truths of it all. All she wanted was to bring back her precious Alicia. That’s all, really. So that’s why, I think she knew, that something she created can never replace what she lost. Though I looked exactly like Alicia, I didn’t act like her at all. A life that lived in place of the life Alicia lost. Mother must have thought (asked) to herself: Why is a failure like you alive, while Alicia remains dead (will not return)?
Lindy: What a terrible thing to say…
Fate: I loved mother, and respected her. But that’s because of Alicia’s memories was planted within me. From the beginning to the end, I wasn’t Alicia. And I could never match/replace the Alicia in her heart. It must have been truly cruel to her.
Lindy: Fate-san…
Fate: The one thing I resented/begrudged Mother for is that she never told me the truth from the very beginning.
Lindy: What?
Fate: As soon as I was born, she didn’t say to me this ‘you are a doll/child/thing created for the sake of finding a way to resurrect Alicia, so work for my and Alicia’s sake’. If she did, then I might not have hurt Mother so much. For all both our sake, we might have been able to find a better way together.
Lindy: Fate-san, you can’t think like that. It really sounds like you’re disparaging/belittling yourself.
Fate: Oh, I’m sorry.
Lindy: Ah, you don’t have to apologize. Besides I’m the one who asked. You should proudly stick your chest out.
Fate: Eh-hem.
Lindy: Ahahahah. *sigh* But let’s suppose that Precia did in fact do what you said, then knowing all that you would have seriously fought Nanoha-san and us with everything you had for the Jewel Seeds.
It is you we’re talking about, you’re so gentle. So you would have worried/debated what to do (what choice to take) and desperately searched for an alternative. You would have still hurt and worried Precia and Arf that way.
Fate: You might be right… No you’re right.
Lindy: We like to think that love is this all powerful, warm and utterly beautiful emotion. In truth, things aren’t like that. Like weapons and magic, it can be used to protect the ones we love and even help us through hardship but at the same time it can hurt others. There’s so much we lose sight of when it gets too strong. Yet no matter how strong it is, there are just some things it can’t overcome/bear. How ironic/cynical.
Fate: I sort of know what you’re talking about.
Lindy: It’s complicated/difficult. How to handle weapons and magic. How to best bear your precious emotions.
Fate: Yes…
Lindy: Hey Fate-san, another straight question… Do you still love/like you mother a bit? Or do you hate her?
Fate: I don’t know. I still don’t know. But because I don’t know, until I do know, I’ll remain her daughter. As Fate Testarossa.
Lindy: I see.
Fate: I think it’s too early for me to run away or throw it away.
Lindy: I see, well then I guess I just got rejected. After the trial, if you wanted to, I was wondering about asking you to become part of my family (become my daughter/child).
Fate: Huh?
Lindy: Ah, er, I’m not scouting/recruiting you for the TSAB because you’re a mage. This is a completely different matter. Really!
Fate: Er, I see.
Lindy: And besides, no matter how powerful of a mage you are, you’re still a child. Even though you’re free, you need to grow up (become an adult) first or it’ll be pretty problematic. I thought to myself, it would be great if you get to do lots of things and get along with your friend on that other world. (bad translation) And it looks like you’re getting along and training with my Chrono quite a bit… (Note: Lindy, you are fuelling my paranoia and cynicism, please stop)
Fate: Um, yes… that…
Lindy: Well, but the real reason is because you’re a very good child. I might not look like it, but I have a very good sense of character.
Fate: Ah, um, er… Er… Er…
Lindy: Oh, ah, don’t get so fluster. I guess I was too sudden, it’s because I can’t get away from my job to talk to you often.
Fate: No, no, not all. Thank you for your attention/concern. To be truthful, I’m honestly flattered.
Lindy: It was a sudden question; you don’t have to answer any time soon. But I would like you to rely on me as your legal guardian at least. I won’t mind if you don’t treat me as a parent/mother. Okay? Until your trial is over and while you are free, you can think it over at your own pace.
Fate: Yes…
Chrono: Excuse me.
Lindy: Oh Chrono.
Chrono: Oh Captain, are you still talking?
Lindy: No, it’s done now. Do you have any business with Fate-san?
Chrono: Yes.
Lindy: Well then Fate-san, let’s talk about this again soon.
Fate: Yes.
Lindy: Have a safe trip.
Chrono: We’re going.
Fate: We’re going.
Chrono: Fate, I’ll return Bardiche to you.
Fate: Oh, thank you. Bardiche, it’s been three days.
Bardiche: Yes sir!
Chrono: But Intelligent Device sure is handy/great.
Fate: Yes, he’s my partner. Um, why don’t you get one Chrono?
Chrono: If I had spare time, I figure I’d try to put one together. But I worry about the process speed.
Fate: Um, it depends trust/faith you have (bad translation: What the heck is shinpare-to). If you can get along with it…
Chrono: Hm, I don’t quite get what you’re getting at. Did something happen?
Fate: Oh, nothing at all…
10 Alf Fuchuu
10 Arf Walking About (taking a walk)
Arf: Oh, oh I’m starting to smell something really tasty! This wondrous scent that sends my heart running! Without a doubt, it’s roast meat (with bone)! Amy’s really going all out! I wonder if something good happened to her.
Guy 2: Oh, Arf.
Guy 1: Want to join us, we got some snacks?
Arf: Thanks but I’ll be fine. I’ll wait patiently until dinner time.
Guy 1: I see.
Arf: Oh, what are you doing together?
Guy 1: Hm? Oh, we’re on break right now so…
Guy 2: Okay, moving up the mountain road (bad translation)! Arch CHECK!
Guy 1: Oh, wait, take back (wait)! Take back (wait)!
Guy 2: No take backs (waits)!
Arf: Ahahah, so you’re doing a board game!
Guy 2: Oh, that reminds me, I heard from Amy. Today’s the anniversary of your contract?
Arf: Oh yeah, me and Fate’s. That’s right; we were asked last time when we were interrogated about the situation.
Guy 2: Aren’t you two going to have a party or something? I mean, since Arf is helping out around on the ship and stuff, we can hold a party for you at least…
(Guy 1: (can’t hear, mostly talking to himself about moves) Ah, if I play from the bottom?... Yeah…)
Arf: Thanks but it’s all right, since we know how you feel.
Guy 1: If I go like this and skip over it, then it’s check!
Guy 2: You reversed/changed the situation!? Wait (take back)! Wait (take back)! Wait (take that back)!
Guy 1: No waiting (no take backs)!
11 Fate to Chrono
11 Fate and Chrono
Fate: Lancer set!
Bardiche: Photon Lancer!
Fate: Pierce/Reach Smasher!
Fate: Oh no, we did it again.
Chrono: Let’s stop for a moment. Ah man, this’ll be pretty hard/bothersome to fix.
Fate: Sorry, Chrono. I put in too much power/strength all of a sudden
Chrono: No, it’s my fault for not offsetting/countering. Just help me afterwards in repairing it; no one’s going to complain if we fix what we can.
Fate: Yeah…
Chrono: But, really, it seems your mana/magic has gotten stronger again.
Fate: Yes, it must be because I’m eating a balanced diet and living very healthily.
Chrono: That’s good, let’s hope it continues.
Fate: Yes… But you know I’m still no match for Chrono-kun at all. If you get serious, I can’t hit you and I can’t avoid your attacks.
Chrono: It would be troublesome if you did surpass me but to tell you the truth, I’m barely able to beat/surpass you right now.
Fate: I wonder…
Chrono: Well in any case, let’s put a new barrier and go at it one more time/have another round!
Amy: This is the Officer/Manager Amy speaking! Captain Lindy, Enforcer Chrono, Fate-chan and Arf. Situation D has been finished/completed; please immediately head to Resting Room 6.
Chrono: It looks like dinner is ready, let’s go back.
Fate: Yeah, we’ll continue this latter on tonight
Chrono: But it looks like we’re going to have to put up a stronger protective barrier.
Fate: Looks like it…
Chrono: Barrier magic is pretty troublesome and difficult. Oh, that reminds me, I mind as well call Yuuno over here for a little then. He can be of some help to us…
Fate: Oh that’s right, if Admiral Lindy adopts me (if I become Admiral Lindy’s child)… Then Chrono will become… my older brother (onii-chan)…
Chrono: Huh?
Fate: N-n-nothing, nothing at all.
Chrono: I see.
Fate: Brother… Elder Brother?... No, I guess, big brother (onii-chan)…

12 A Small/Brief Dinner
Amy: Oh, welcome!
Lindy: Welcome!
Fate: Amazing!
Arf: Ohhh~, meat, meat, meat!
Chrono: Whoa, that’s quite a feast (today you went all out)!
Fate: Why Amy?
Amy: Well, it is your anniversary today. Your contract anniversary!
Fate: That’s true…
Amy: If that’s the case you mind as well eat something good, have fun conversations and relax.
Fate: Really?
Amy: Besides Fate-chan, you’ve been taking care of/helping out our Chrono-kun too. This is thanks for that too! It’s just a little/small thing though.
Fate: Little/Small? It’s not small at all, it’s huge and fancy…
Amy: Made all my favourites in.
Lindy: Now, now, we mind as well help ourselves since she went through all that trouble. Here, sit.
Fate: Yes.
Chrono: You too Arf.
Arf: Yeah.
Lindy: Well then, congratulations on your anniversary/happy anniversary you two.
Amy: Look we even have cake.
Fate: Ah, I see. Thank you, I’m very happy.
Amy: It’s not a birthday, but I’ve prepared some candles for the cake. We’ll put three candles on the cake and light them…
Lindy: They said that this particular custom is the same on Nanoha-san’s world too!
Chrono: Cake and candles, really?
Amy: Lower your face a little please.
Fate: Ah, how pretty.
Arf: Yeah.
Amy: Okay, go ahead and blow them out.
A+F: Ah, um, er…
Chrono: Go on.
Fate: Well, Arf..
Arf: Yeah, well then…
A+F: A one and a two…
Fate: Um, er, thank you. Thank you.
Arf: Um, try not to embarrass Fate too much. I’m kinda starting to feel embarrassed too.
13 Okurimono
13 A Gift
Nanoha: Ahahaha, congratulations Fate-chan, Arf-san.
F+A: HUH?
Nanoha: So today, you have an anniversary like that. Then allow me to send a gift to you both.
Yuuno: From me too.
Fate: Nanoha…?
Arf: Yuuno…?
Y+N: Okay!
Fate: Huh, huh? Isn’t this a real time message?
Lindy: On a special day for my special/dear friends, it appears that attention of the administration/those in charge can drift/slip up a bit.
Amy: And besides, strictly speaking, the video is lagging by almost 0.05 seconds, so it’s not technically real time.
Fate: Nanoha…
Nanoha: Fate-chan…
Fate: I’m doing… um, really well over here. Everyone’s really nice. Um, I’m not sure how to describe it.
Nanoha: I’m sure you’ll find words for it soon.
Fate: Yeah, thank you.
Yuuno: Arf, how are you?
Arf: I’m doing great!
Fate: Nanoha, are you outside? Are you in a forest?
Nanoha: Yup, on the other side of the mountain. Look we can’t talk for long and we don’t have much time to send your gift, so please watch Yuuno-kun’s and my gift to you.
Raising Heart: Standby ready!
Nanoha: Here we go Yuuno-kun, Raising Heart.
Yuuno: Okay!
Raising Heart: All right!
Nanoha: Aim up into the night sky! Shooting magic, material/energy conversion!
Raising Heart: Starlight Breaker!
Nanoha: Starlight Breaker, Firing Fireworks Version! BREAK SHOOT!
Amy: Wow… so beautiful.
Lindy: Amazing, art with/of light!
Chrono: Using such excessive/reckless high level magic again…
Fate: Amazing Nanoha. Seeing so many lights/sparks/sparkles blooming in the night sky is really beautiful.
Nanoha: Yeah. Let’s continue Yuuno-kun.
Yuuno: Got it!
Y+N: All together…
Amy: An explosion!?
Chrono: Whoa, as usual/expected, what stupidly powerful magic!
Fate: Nanoha? Yuuno? Are you all right?
Nanoha: Yeah, we’re fine.
Yuuno: Yeah, just fine.
Nanoha: We’ll send a recording of this gift to you by video mail too. But we really wanted to send you this gift to you right away on the day it matters.
Fate: Thank you. Thank you, Nanoha.
Nanoha: Yeah. I’m sure we’ll meet each other again soon, but for now we’ll part. See you again, Fate-chan.
Fate: Yes, thank you Nanoha-chan.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Amy: Sorry, it’s only to here.
Fate: Um, well… Um, everyone… um, thank you. For all the trouble and for everything that’s on my chest… Um, er… Sorry, I’m not really good at saying this… Thank you. Really, thank you so much.
Amy: Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re a real good girl.
Arf: She’s right Fate. Besides its dinner time right now.
Lindy: She’s right. Let’s start eating.
Amy: Chrono help me split everything.
Chrono: Got it!
Lindy: We’ve got a lot of food. So why don’t we call the crew member’s who’re free?
Arf: Sounds good.
Fate: Yes.
Guy 1: Good evening!
Amy: They came even though we didn’t call for them.
Guy 2: Oh, we got lured here by the smell!
Lindy: Oh that’s all right! Hey, can you call everyone who are free? Since it’s a special party/day for Fate-san and Arf.
Guy 1: We accept this emergency mission/order!
Guy 2: We’ll take the opportunity/While we’re at it; we’ll gather additional food and drink/provisions!
Amy: Okay, off you go!
G1+G2: Roger!
Arf: Ahahaha, delicious!
Chrono: Hey Arf! Don’t eat it by hand.
Fate: Oh Arf, that’s so rude (bad manners)
Chrono: But… it’s pretty tasty/good!
Amy: Of course it is I made it after all!
Lindy: Oh, it really is.
14 [Eeeeeeh!] (or [WHAAAAT!])
Nanoha: As expected, I’m pretty tired.
Yuuno: Yeah…
Nanoha: Thank you for your hard work, Raising Heart.
Raising Heart: All right!
Yuuno: No matter how much you lowered your power output and range, you were firing off a barrage of Breakers, so it must be quite tiring
Nanoha: But thanks to Yuuno-kun’s control, it really looked like beautiful fireworks. Thank you Yuuno-kun.
Yuuno: Well since I wasn’t using any other magics, so maintaining control was… Huh, wait…
Nanoha: Huh?
Yuuno: If I didn’t use any other magic, then that means…
Nanoha: Means…
Yuuno: I forgot to put up a … barrier?
Nanoha: EEEEH!!! (Whaaaat!!!)
Arisa: The fireworks we just saw, they were pretty amazing…
Suzuka: Yes, they were pretty strange fireworks but… But what beautiful pink and green colors.
Arisa: But it’s a bit too early for firework season though, so I wonder what it’s for…
Suzuka: Indeed, what was it for…?
Nanoha: So, so the entire neighbourhood, the Breakers I just fired off…
Yuuno: Sorry…
Nanoha: Ugh… Beyond the sound and light though, I don’t think we bothered the neighbourhood too badly. But if we remain, where we fired off all our magic…
Yuuno: It could be very… very…
Nanoha: It would be very… Um, in any case, Yuuno-kun, get on my shoulder…
Yuuno: Uh yeah…
Nanoha: Well, then… All together…
Y+N: SORRY!
Raising Heart: Good bye!

Arf: Having everyone come is great! But… if you reach out to my meat, I’ll bite you to death!
Guy 1: Whoa scary…
Guy 2: Hey…
Amy: Okay, I, Amy Limiette, shall sing a song!
Nanoha: Right now, in many different places, smiles and tears gather.
Fate: Reunions and feelings for days of new beginnings come together. (bad translations)
