Chapter 4(1)When Risai awoke in the middle of the night, there was a shadow of a person at her bedside. The moonlight flowed in through another room next to the chamber, and the sounds of insects chirped in as well.“…Kei-Ou?”When Risai spoke, the shadow that had been stooping raised its face.“Ah… I’m sorry. Have I awakened you?”No, mumbled Risai.“Everybody was looking for you.”“I know. That’s

Chapter 7(1)Page 396The pair of master and servant from Han waited for Risai and others to return, then went back to their own country, handing over their room to be used as Taiki’s sickbed. Taiki who had been brought back from Mt. Hou remained asleep, but Enki and Keiki and other kirin were no longer unable to approach him. After confirming that, Renrin who seemed relieved also decided to return

(5)Risai heard the words she’d been longing to hear on the same day she returned from Mt. Hou.Running into Ransetsu Hall, Renrin spoke up after she cast the Koseisan off her face.“Risai-- He’s there!”Risai froze. Hearing the news she’d longed to hear for so long, her body couldn’t move out of anxiety, instead of happiness.“The shirei found Taiki. Also Gouran and Sanshi… This is for sure.”Aah,

(3)Page 364With no time to rest, Risai and the others departed from Kimpa Palace before dawn. They were passing above the Sea of Clouds. From the Ryouunzan (the tall mountain where the palace is located) of Kei they headed to Mt. Hou without taking the time to have their meals. Three days after leaving Gyouten, they finally had some sleep on the peak of Mt. Kongou that surrounded the Yellow Sea.

Chapter 6(1)“…We found it.”While running into Ransetsu Hall, Renrin said that. Keiki and Rokuta stood up from their seats. Hanrin who was leaning on her master’s lap, half asleep, also raised her face.“We found Taiki’s aura. Moreover it’s recent, a glow he’s just left not so long ago.”“Where was it?”Accompanying Rokuta who walked in strides, Renrin returned to Kokinsai. Keiki followed them, while

(5)Page 329Around the time when the summer reached its peak, Risai was informed by Youko that the search for Taiki had been begun. The heat that brought along the feeling of boredom reached even the Royal Palace. On those uncomfortable nights, Risai was deprived of good sleep for being stirred by restlessness, because she’s always waiting for good news to come.It didn’t take long and Rokuta’s

(3)For some time, Risai stayed in her bed room, staring at the belt.— You’re still connected.It’s indeed true, said Risai to her own ears. At that time, the only mine near Rin’U that’s still being dug for its gem was Mt. Kanyou. Being the oldest mine in Bun Province, the gem springs in Mt. Kanyou were completely withering, and Risai remembered that at that time already people could only find

These people are amazing and they made the best Juuni Kokuki arts. To me, some of their works are better than Yamada Akihiro sensei’s works of Juuni Kokuki.Biwako's Juuni Kokuki galleryCute fan arts and funny comic strips.Tachibana Midori's galleryFascinating artworks. However, it seems like the pictures cannot be downloaded unless we're using Pana (panasonic?) computers or something. Anyway, too

Chapter 5(1)Page 288When Youko returned from Mt. Hou, the Joushi was waiting for her at Seishin.“Youko. You have extraordinary guests.”“Guests?” When Youko tilted her head, Shoukei nodded. Right after Youko left for Mt. Hou, some people came to Kokufu to call on Youko.“Messengers with passports endorsed by Han-Ou came and said they would like to meet Youko. However, since Youko wasn’t here, we

(5)After seeing Gyokuyou off, Youko looked at Rokuta confusedly.“What is this all about?”“Even if you ask me… Well, it’s just like what you’ve heard. There’s no precedent for the matter we’re dealing with. We didn’t know what we should do, that’s why we consulted with her.”“That part I knew already…” Youko faltered. She didn’t know how to express the feeling in her heart, the feeling that there’s

In order of favoritism: TaikiTaiki was a kind, rather subdued child. But he sure talked a lot to people he’s comfortable with. I just loved this kid. He didn’t fret over the fact that he was taken away from his home, and though he felt lonely and missed his home, he thought of nyosens’ feelings so he didn’t say anything about his misery. He tried his best to be a better Kirin, and he’s simply so

I’m translating Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora from Kodansha Bunko edition, because it seems like my country’s Kinokuniya doesn’t have the White Heart edition. No offence to anybody, but I wish this bunko edition has a better cover. It’s simply ugly. Even I could come up with a more interesting cover, honestly. I happen to like Yamada Akihiro sensei’s illustrations so it’s a disappointment

Juuni Kokuki or often known as Juuni Kokki, or also the Twelve Kingdoms, is a novel series by Ono Fuyumi, and published by Kodansha. So far there are seven titles published, the last one in 2001. The series is not yet complete, and all I could do is praying that she would somehow continue and finish this story, at least before I completely lose my interest.
