GG2: Overture Story Translations (**Updated w/ Sin's!)

Recommended Posts

The passage is right around where Ky is 'squeezing out his words'...

それはまるで白問白答している響きがあった。

Though it might relate more to his emotional state and I'm way off about it and it doesn't explain the patch Ky wore obviously (it was just something someone asked me a while ago).

... yeah, no.

It says 自問自答

Which means to ask oneself... soliloquizing, basically.

Maybe learn Japanese before trying to correct a native speaker and giving out misinformation. It's okay to say 'I don't know'.

There's still nothing about Ky's eyepatch in there, so you're just making shit up again (which I thought you hated....)

edit: oh yeah, Sin should be up tonight, doing the beta now.

Sin's Story

“Hey old man! Was this lizard edible?”

“Hey, hurry up and get down here.”

“W-wait just a bit, just a bit more...”

(It seems like he likes tall places...)

“Hurry it up. Today I’ll take you to an even higher place.”

===================

“Whoaaaaaa!!!! SOO COOL!!!!!”

Looking at the child frolicing about -- foster father Sol Badguy let out a deep sigh.

(I shouldn’t have brought him with me.)

He was around the age where he’s brimming with curiosity and it couldn’t be helped that everything that he sees is fresh. But So,l who did not like much noise, would get incredibly fed up with his foster child’s innocence.

Due to certain circumstances, Sol was asked by his acquaintance to look after his son Sin half a year ago. The two in order to collect their job payment went to Zepp, famous for being a levitating country.

Working as a bounty hunter, they constantly travel all over the world--which sounds great, but in reality they were wandering vagabonds. Their main targets are to subjugate Gears that posed a threat to humans, but the population has been decreasing sharply and it has become difficult to finance their living with simply that. In a desperate manner, they would sometimes go for more common bounties. The other day, the two unluckily---no, for those two, luckily they were given a hard time by a group of hooligans. That group was fairly well known and was currently under a special bounty reward by the armed floating country Zepp’s search party. The two-er, rather one exercised more than excessive amount of self-defense and turned the group in for bounty easily.

“Awesome, it’s really floating in the air! Hey, what’s that?!”

Watching the child (t/n: says ‘son’ but thought it might read better in english to just say the child) swinging from one emotion to the next in response to everything nearby with a sideways glance, Sol hesitated. He shouldn’t bring Sin along to the office where they collect their payment to avoid useless misunderstandings and suspicions.

“I’ll be going alone from here, you stay put.”

“..What why?! Are you gonna leave me behind again?”

Sol tied the chain he had in his hand to a roadside tree in a back alley and started walking. Obviously, on the other end of the chain was a collar. And of course, the collar was fastened onto Sin. Sol juiced his wisdom from his former scientist days in order to come up with this strategy to restrain the restlessly noisy Sin. At first Sin greatly disliked it, but with Sol’s loving discipline, Sin gave in. (e/n: I swear to god this paragraph actually says these ridiculous things)

(Even while having a foster father,) Sin restlessly looked around his surroundings. People walking past Sin saw that he was tied up with a collar and giggled. It did not bother Sin though. After searching for everything within a 5m radius, Sin takes a breath and realizes he’s been surrounded by 3 boys around his height.

“Hey what’s with him! He’s wearing a collar/leash!”

The ‘leader’ of the group points and laughs. The two other friends laugh with him.

“Hey! Play a game with me!”

Unable to read the mood, Sin invites them to play. Perhaps it was because he spent his whole time with a foster father who was much older than him, he did not have much opportunity to play with people his age. Because of this, he was very interested.

“What the..is he stupid?”

“So, what are we going to play?”

“Hey, don’t be cheeky. Dressing up all weird and stuff (t/n: I would use shit but they’re elementary kids), which elementary school are you from?”

Sin, who stood out in their “territory”, couldn’t help but be a nuisance to the kids.

“Hey why don’t you say something huh?! You ignoring me??”

Sin’s innocent remark irritated the boys. The leader became pissed off and grabbed Sin by the collar. However, Sin mistook that for a “game”. Growing up admiring his foster father’s superhuman movements, Sin secretly self-trained himself. Because of that, the movement of the boys looked nothing more than “play”.

“Oh, huh? What kind of game is this?”

The boys became furious at those words.

“Stop screwing around! Don’t look down on us!”

“Forget it, lets beat him up!”

The boys surrounded Sin, clenching their fists. At that point, Sin finally realized this wasn’t a “game”.

“Wearing a weird eyepatch, you trying to be cool or something?!”

“Too cool for stye huh??” (t/n: stye is an eye disease)

The boys rolled up their sleeves and reached for Sin’s eyepatch one after another. One managed to scratch the eyepatch and slide it out of place. At that moment, his right eye was exposed for a split second.

“Don’t... fucking touch that!”

Sin covered his right eye with his hand in a hurry. There is no more pain..but to Sin, it (t/n: assumedly, displaying the eye) was a taboo.

Each time his right eye is touched, the abominable image that’s burned into his mind is revived like a revolving lantern.

Silently but surely, a wrath that has nowhere to go boiled up inside Sin.

“W-what was that....gross...”

The kids who caught a glimpse of the inside of his right eye felt that they have touched upon something that they should not have laid their hands on.

“L..let’s just go...his eye’s scary” (t/n: The character for this eye refers more towards the eyeball/pupil+iris of the eye, so they had looked at something ‘inside’ the pupil/iris.)

The boys unconsciously distance themselves. Sin held his right eye and as he stared at them with his left, leaned forward.

“D-Don’t come near us! You monster!!”

Those words were enough to collapse Sin’s restraint.

“U-UWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

Sin roared with such impact that the surrounding buildings shook. Sin’s body became charged as black lightning surged to the heavens. The boys were hit full force from the shockwave and were sent flying, landing several meters away.

===================

By the time Sol got back, there was a crowd of people that had gathered who noticed Sin’s outburst. Sin cowered as he held his right eye. Seeing the boys on the ground past Sin, Sol understood.

“Sin, did you do this?”

“......”

“Which is it?”

“B-because these guys...”

-KRACKOOOOOOOOOM-

Before those words were even finished, Sol’s boots rammed into Sin’s body. The impact sent Sin flying along with with tree that was attached to his chain. The onlookers gasped at the unbelievable sight and the clatter ceased immediately.

Sol calmly walked up to the boys. The surrounding gallery gulped and looked on.

“Seems like my stupid son caused some trouble...”

“N-no..don’t be silly!!”

“I properly disciplined him. I also paid back your pain by double.”

(double my ass!!!)

Is what everyone in area thought at that precise moment.

“So now we’re even for the trouble right?”

“Y-y-yes! Absolutely!!”

As they were saying that they turned their heels and tried to run away quickly. However, a merciless voice was heard from behind them.

“....wait.”

As if you were able to hear their frightened “Hiiiiiii~^!!” screech, the boys looked back.

“...I-is there something else?”

Responded the leader in a shrill voice.

“We’re even for the trouble. But...”

“???”

“That Thing (Sin) is stupid, but he wouldn’t raise his fist for nothing. ‘Cause I trained him very well.....You shits, what did you do?”

Not particularly trying to threaten, Sol was more or less his usual self. However, to the children, Sol’s large body that was inching towards them and the previous impact of the kick was exactly the object of fear.

“It was your selfishness right? You better properly pay your dues....”

===================

"Sorry old man...I..I just lost control."

“.....Don't worry, just learn to tolerate it next time."

"....Ok."

===================

OMAKE (Bonus)

"Say, old man....that weapon you use, do you think I can use that?"

"This? Doubt it."

"Oh, yeah it seems like I'm more compatible with lightning."

"It's not the matter of attribute, but what's with this conversation all of a sudden?"

"Well, I thought it's about time. I want to fight like you, old man. So I want a weapon!"

"It's a bit fast but...what kind of weapon did ya have in mind?"

"Well, first off it has to be manly!! The type you can do an aggressive charge with! Oh and also a stylish form is a must!"

"....."

"Oh and the most important thing is that it has to be incredibly eye-catching!" (t/n: the actual phrase here was a bit engrishy- something Sin has a knack for doing, so we gave it a more grammatical equivalent)

".....Wave a flag or something."

".....!??!"

Taking Sol's sarcastic advice too seriously.

This just made me imagine Sol saying to Sin afterward "Next time you even think of saying the word 'fuck', kid, I'm gettin' the belt."

More like "next time you even think of saying the word 'fuck' it's gonna get DRAGON MOOOOOODE in here."

I'm gettin' the belt.

the scary part is that Sol wears like 17 belts.

Anyway, the Sin story is funny and hearing more about Zepp is nice too.

I gotta say thanks for all the hard work getting these translations to us.

I need fanart of Sol wielding a cat-o-nine of belts chasing Sin.

what about one of Justice pinching Sin's face? that's what grandmas do, after all.

Also Dizzy is Best Mom Ever, right?

Sol is truly an inspiration for parents everywhere. I don't think even Relius has parenting skills like that.

I can only imagine his reaction when Sin finally got his flag weapon.

I remember when Ama Dizor and I were doing a RP and he drew Justice telling Sin to wear a helmet when he goes outside.

Sin was gleefully putting it on saying "THANKS GRANDMA!"

Edit: Image in question:

As for Dizzy being best mom:

Sin: Can I go to the movies with my friends dad?

:KY: : Ask your mother.

I'm pretty sure that was Dizor's drawing, not mine. He was the one RPing Sin after all. I was Sol.

Well... we don't know that yet, it's only ever been teased, so probably not. I don't think Sol would tell either of them even if he was, personally.

(It would make for quite the interesting quality family time, though)
