Dengeki Daisy 58

Yosh!

Never trust me when I say I'm putting things up the next day. Gomen. Real life is hectic. Yeah, well....sorry again!

Anyway, Here's chapter 58 of DD. I haven't the slightest idea as to what is happening, but it looks kinda serious. YES, they were interrupted by Kyoishi! LOL!! and I bet everybody was going "doki-doki" at  THAT scene! LULZ!! Off to the raws!!

EDIT: Here are the translations for this chapter!!

<< Pg 1 >>

Teru: I apologize for the wait.

Teru: The noble and righteous, white panty-wearing girl // with her signature backhanded weeding technique…

Teru: Servant #1, Kurebayashi Teru, has arrived!

<< Pg 2 >>

Kiyoshi: The sharp-tongued, four-eyed representative who’s strict on himself and even stricter with strangers…

Kiyoshi: 1/3 of his chosen karaoke songs are pure-hearted and emotional.

Kiyoshi:  Hasegawa Kiyoshi, otherwise known as Servant #2… // has arrived to support!

Kurosaki: … What the hell are you two doing…? // Did the tension from your long-time slave labor get to you?

Teru: Is there some kind of problem, Master? // We’re simply showing you the gallant figures of those who survived through numerous battlefields!

<< Pg 3 >>

Kurosaki: … Well, I guess I understand how you feel…

Box: That’s us acting festive. // We felt that if we came back here, we could return to our normal, everyday lives.

Kurosaki: Since the work’s been piling up, I’ll have you guys take care of that for me. // First, take care of the cleaning and sweeping, and separate the burnable trash from the…

Rena: Please wait just a minute!

Rena: I’ll be troubled if you forget about me! // The surprisingly not good-for-nothing woman devoted to the group! My hobby is poetry!

Rena: The newly appointed Servant #3, Ichinose Rena, reporting to duty! Any complaints?

<< Pg 4 >>

Kurosaki: … Wait… We’re not recruiting new servants right now… Plus it’s kind of difficult for me to have that kind of relationship with you…

Kiyoshi: Looks like she’s back to her annoying self.

Rena: I’m perfectly prepared for sunburns, even in the winter! There’s no need feel reserved about it! I’m just paying back my debt to you!

Rena: You should be grateful! I’m making use of the break from my hectic student council duties to do this unjustifiable manual labor for you!

Rena: Do we really need to wear these work uniforms? They’re so ragged. And they smell. Let’s make suede uniforms. I’ll order them.

Kiyoshi: Are you really up to it? Newcomers have to use keigo.*  (formal speech/honorifics)

Teru: Oh yeah, Haruka said she also wanted to join the servant club. She’s busy though, so for now she’ll be a temporary member…

Kurosaki: What do you mean ‘servant club?’ And stop adding members on your own. The numbers just keep increasing. What am I? Momotarou?

Kurosaki: People usually become servants unwillingly, yet you guys are so enthusiastic about it.

Teru: Right? How strange.

Box: It’s been a while since we’ve had a normal day at school.

<< Pg 5 >>

Box 1: Such precious, normal days.

Box 2: Whenever we return to this place, we become filled with so much energy.

Box 3: Even if something were to happen again,

Box 4: we will stand and fight against it.

Sign: Chairmain’s Office

Andou: … How dreadful…

Andou: This is beyond appalling. I never thought such a thing could be possible.

<< Pg 6 >>

Andou: No matter how many stamps I stamp, this mountain of documents doesn’t seem to be decreasing. Seriously.

Andou: … Riko-chan, do you think you could lend a hand?

Riko: What’re you saying?! This is your job, Chairman! // Besides, it’s your fault for letting your work pile up this much!

Riko: … But then again, that’s because we’ve been busy with a lot of things lately. It’s understandable.

Riko: Frankly, my work has piled up as well.

Riko: But that was because I agreed to help out with that. (T/N: They’re talking about when they helped rescue Rena)

Andou: You’re right. I can’t complain.

Person: Helloooo!

<< Pg 7 >>

Masuda: Ohanabatake Delivery Service!

Masuda: Your order of ramen has arrived.

Riko: Yaay! I’ve been looking forward to this, Master!

Masuda: Take your omelet rice. Hey, this time was a special exception, got it? I ain’t a catering business. // You better pay me extra for this, Andy.

Riko: I’m sorry, were you busy?

Masuda: No, it’s fine. Riko doesn’t need to worry about it.

Andou: Hey, stop favoring her over me.

Masuda: We’ve hit a dead end in the investigation on the organization so I’m actually free from my other job for a bit.

Masuda: … Oh, by the way, I passed by the rear garden on my way here.

Masuda: It’s pretty lively over there.

Masuda: … It doesn’t seem like Tasuku’s behaving any differently.

<< Pg 8 >>

Masuda: I was surprised he came to us with such a story yesterday…

Kurosaki: Everyone, hear me out.

Kurosaki: About the guy who was working under Morizono, “Kuwagata…”

Kurosaki: I think… he might be the same guy who brainwashed me and made me create Jack Frost back then.

Riko: No way…

Masuda: That guy who called himself “Nagano” from the personnel department? // The main culprit behind all of this?

Kurosaki: I don’t have any proof though.

Kurosaki: It’s just a feeling.

<< Pg 9 >>

Kurosaki: … I wasn’t sure and to have to actually say it was frightening.

Kurosaki: I kept quiet about it but last night, Teru…

Kurosaki: … Well anyway, stuff happened and I figured it would be better to talk to you guys about it.

Riko: Hey, what the hell are you blushing about?! What happened last night?!

Masuda: Now, now…

Andou: He was in the middle of his story.

Masuda: … No, it’s a good thing you came and talked to us. // Even if you’re uncertain, if it made you feel this strongly about it, then it must have some kind of significance.

Masuda: … If your gut is right, this could be very serious.

Kurosaki: … You’re right.

Kurosaki: He wouldn’t have shown himself to me without a reason.

Kurosaki: There’s a chance I might get dragged into something again.

Kurosaki: … If that happens, I’m counting on you guys to help me.

<< Pg 10 >>

Kurosaki: That way,

Kurosaki: I won’t repeat the same mistakes I made in the past.

Andou: … I was also quite surprised... // Riko-chan, were aware of Tasuku’s problems?

Riko: Nope, I just recently heard about it from Teru-chan myself.

Riko: … But Tasuku was unexpectedly calm when he talked to us.

Riko: If that’s the case, he should be fine.

Riko: On the other hand, I think I might be more scared now after hearing his story. // At my age, I should be able to handle this better. I need to pull myself together.

Andou: No, it’s not just you, Riko-chan.

<< Pg 11 >>

Masuda: …  He’s right.

Masuda: To be honest, I’m pretty shaken up myself.

Masuda: “Hyperion.”

Masuda: “M’s will.”

Masuda: “Jack Frost.” // “Nagano.”

Masuda: “Antora.”

Masuda: … Nothing from the past has been resolved at all…

<< Pg 12 >>

Kurosaki: Huh?

Kurosaki: Where’d Kiyoshi and Ojou* go? (Leaving this untranslated because I had a bit of trouble with it. “Ojou” which could translate to a number of things like “princess” “miss,” “young lady,” etc… but none of them really fit Kurosaki’s speech style =\)

Teru: Rena went back already. // Kiyoshi said he had something to take care of and went off somewhere.

Kurosaki: What? And here I was thinking I’d reward my servants and increase my charm as the master.

Teru: It’s a bit despicable, isn’t it Master? Going to such length to be praised. // Ah, I’ll take the ramen-flavored drink. Yes!

Kurosaki: You had your eye on that from the very start.

Teru: Hehe!

Teru: Alright, time for a break!

<< Pg 13 >>

Kurosaki: … Hey, // Teru.

Kurosaki: … About your birthday…

Kurosaki: Tell me what you want. // If you don’t, I’m seriously getting you socks.

Teru: What I want… // As in a present?

Kurosaki: What else could I mean? Just think of something and tell me. // I’ll really get you socks. The supermarket near our neighborhood is selling three pairs for 500 yen.

Teru: Oh… but that’s fine. I don’t really want anything else. I mean, // just the fact that you thought about getting me something is already more than enough. There’s really nothing… Ow!

Kurosaki: Stop it with the good-girl act.

Kurosaki: I’m at my limit here.

Kurosaki: … I’ve been thinking about it so much that I don’t even know what to do anymore.

<< Pg 14 >>

Teru: Oh my, what’s the matter, Kurosaki-san? Your face is all red.

Kurosaki: Shut up. Stop looking at me. I’m not embarrassed, okay?

Kurosaki: … Wh-what?

Kurosaki: I said I’m not embarrassed.

Kurosaki: You know, you shouldn’t tease an adult like…

Teru: Kurosaki.

<< Pg 15 >>

Teru: … Are you alright now? You’re not pushing yourself, are you?

Teru: You look like you’re fine but…

Teru: You always try so hard to hide the way you feel.

Kurosaki: … Are you talking about that thing with Kuwagata? // I’ve already discussed it with Riko and the others yesterday.

Kurosaki: I feel a lot more composed now. I think I’ll be okay.

Kurosaki: I might get scared if I meet him again,

Kurosaki: but I’ll worry about that when the time comes.

<< Pg 16 >>

Teru: Slowly…

Kurosaki: … Are you worried?

Teru: Yeah, just a little.

Teru: Little by little…

Kurosaki: Haha, of course you would be. // In that case, you’d better stay close and keep an eye on me.

Teru: We’re getting closer to each other.

Teru: Yeah, I will.

<< Pg 17 >>

Teru: Surely…

Teru: Just a little more

Teru: and…

<< Pg 18 >>

Kiyoshi: Sorry for suddenly slipping away! // I heard that there was a famous taiyaki stand near the school!

Kiyoshi: I bought a bunch of them on a whim so I thought maybe we could eat…

Kiyoshi: them…

Kiyoshi: … Haha… // I’m so sorry.

Kurosaki: What do you mean?! Don’t apologize! Nothing was happening! // Nothing suspicious was going on! No matter who it is, there’re times when you just suddenly feel like digging a hole, okay?! Give me a taiyaki, too!

<< Pg 19 >>

Teru: H-hey, what were we talking about earlier?

Teru: Oh, that’s right! My birthday present!

Kurosaki: Ye-yeah, that’s right! That was it!

Kurosaki: I guess I’ll get something for you so think hard about what you want!

Teru: This taiyaki is really good! Yeah, since socks aren’t really much. // I wonder what I should have you get me?

Teru: And that’s what happened.

Teru: It looks like Kiyoshi just misunderstood the situation. How troubling.

Riko: Heeh, so that’s how it was.

Riko: That blond brat’s been getting caught up in the mood a lot lately. I’ll beat him until he cries.

<< Pg 20 >>

Riko: But I see.

Riko: A birthday present, huh?

Riko: I get that he’s putting a great deal of thought into what to get you, // but he really seems to be troubled over it, doesn’t he? It’s ‘cause Tasuku’s not used to doing this kind of stuff.

Riko: Since he asked, why don’t you just tell him what you want?

Teru: … No…

Teru: See, the truth is, what I want the most right now is new underwear. I’ve been using the same ones since middle school and they’re getting worn out.

Riko: Yeah, it’s probably better not to ask that of him. I can get those for you.

Riko: Oh, what about hair accessory?

Riko: You said you wanted some, right?

Teru: Ah…

Teru: That’s right! About that, // I have a favor to ask of you, Riko-san!

<< Pg 21 >>

Riko: Oh, this is the accessory I made…

Teru: Yeah! The hair decoration for the party on the ship the other day.

Teru: I really love it!

Teru: They’re beautiful, and they really look like blue daisies. // It’s exactly what I’ve always wanted.

Teru: Riko-san, you’re incredible for being able to make something like this.

Teru: It’s just that they’re a bit big for everyday use…

Riko: No problem! I’ll be more than happy to humbly fix that for you! // After receiving that much praise, I’m brimming with energy! (T/N: That last line is probably wrong. I couldn’t figure one of the words out.)

<< Pg 22 >>

Riko: Is it alright if I cut the size down by about half?

Riko: I’ll sew it together a little tighter so it isn’t as fragile. // Shall I make the other half into a corsage?

Teru: Wow! Thank you so much!

Teru: I was so upset when the original one was broken by Morizono.

Teru: Truthfully, I also carelessly dropped it at such a dangerous place.

Riko: Oh, is that so?

Riko: How did you end up getting it back…

<< Pg 23 >>

Teru: … What is that?

Riko: This is…

Riko: A micro SD chip…?

Riko: … It… fell from the hair decoration just now, right?

Riko: Why is this kind of thing… // … Just who…?

Box: It’s him.

<< Pg 24 >>

Box 1: The one who picked up the hair decoration and handed it to me…

Kuwagata: It’s nothing to be suspicious of.

Kuwagata: I just thought that maybe it was something important to you.

Box 2: ... was Kuwagata, // the guy Kurosaki was frightened of.

<< Pg 25 >>

Kurosaki: Let’s take a look at what’s on the chip first. // We’ll decide what to do after that.

Riko: B… but isn’t that dangerous? What if it breaks into something…

Masuda: It’s alright. This computer isn’t connected to the internet. // We’ll clear they system’s data afterwards to be on the safe side.

Kurosaki: Teru, don’t look. // Something traumatizing might pop up.

Teru: Ah… okay.

Kurosaki: … Here I go.

<< Pg 26 >>

Kurosaki (?): … The hell is this…?

Riko: Ahh… so that’s what it is.

Teru: H-h-h-how was it? // Was it that? Was it a porn picture or an image of a ghost climbing out of a well…?

Kurosaki: You’re imagining some pretty bad stuff.

Kurosaki: No, that’s not it.

Kurosaki: … It’s encrypted data. // At this rate, we won’t know what’s on the chip at all.

<< Pg 27 >>

Teru: You’re… not going to decode it?

Masuda: I’ll get us some coffee.

Kurosaki: More like I can’t. // It’s a complex encryption without a key. With the equipment we have here, it’s impossible.

Teru: Really? // Even you can’t do it? It’s impossible even for Daisy, the genius hacker?

Kurosaki: Who’s a genius? That’s embarrassing. Of course. I’m not superman, you know. // In fact, it’s because I can’t decode it that they keep to relying on this encryption.

Kurosaki: For someone to be able to solve this kind of code here…

Teru: … I-I see. It’s not something that can normally be done. How embarrassing of me.

Kurosaki: … Yeah, pretty much.

Masuda: Is café au lait alright with you, Teru-chan?

Andou: … However, this is rather strange.

<< Pg 28 >>

Andou: For what reason would they send us an encrypted data chip?

Riko: Not knowing the contents of the chip really bothers me. // Just what kind of data is on that thing?

Masuda: Could it be information regarding Morizono’s other crimes? // Maybe they were looking for a way to give him up.

Riko: What about another country’s classified information? Maybe they didn’t know what to do with it…

Teru: Or maybe it’s the key to M’s will.

Teru: Ah… I’m sorry! I thoughtlessly said something again! I’m so meddlesome today. I just thought that maybe it could have something to do with it…

<< Pg 29 >>

Teru: I’m really sorry! I was just thinking a bit. There’s no way it could be the key to M’s will…

Andou: No. // I think it’s a possibility.

Masuda: Hey, Andy, stop it…

Andou: In truth I was thinking that myself.

Andou: It’s something that manifested from this situation. I can’t think of it being anything other than the key to M’s will. // I think there is some value in us decoding and confirming it.

Masuda: Enough! I told you earlier, didn’t I?! // M’s will is dangerous! Obtaining it is…

Riko: We know!! But wait…

Riko: We gave up halfway for the sake of preserving public image, didn’t we?! (T/N: Translation is most likely wrong.)

<< Pg 30 >>

Riko: If we’ve found an opportunity here before us, then it’s a different story!

Andou: Even you, Riko… why won’t you understand?

Teru: …Why…?

Masuda: There’s a chance that Antora might be involved.

Masuda: Don’t you understand what that means?

Andou: Isn’t that why we should do it?

Teru: Everyone’s becoming so agitated...

Riko: Exactly… you agree too, right? // The regret that none of us can let go of is…

Masuda: If something happens after that, it’ll be too late!!

Riko: That’s why I’m saying, if we go on this way…

Kurosaki: STOP!!

<< Pg 31 >>

Kurosaki: It’s natural that we‘d be arguing right now.

Kurosaki: It’s understandable that everyone’s getting heated up. That’s fine. // But please, leave that for later.

Kurosaki: As you can all see,

Kurosaki: I’ve got an incoming call.

Phone: Incoming call. Restricted number.

<< Pg 32 >>

Kurosaki: A call from a withheld number at a time like this…

Kurosaki: We’re reading too much into it for a coincidence.

Kurosaki: This might be the guy who has the answers to the all questions we want to ask the most.

Kurosaki: … What do you think I should do? Answer?

Kurosaki: Or cut the call?

Box: If…

<< Pg 33 >>

Box: If we cut the call here, // we might have been able to put an end to everything with that, but…

Person: … Oh, you’ve finally answered the call.

Teru: I can hear them.

Person: I apologize if I’ve interrupted anything.

Person: Kurosaki-san… or would you rather I call you Daisy?

Kurosaki: … Who are you?

Person: Oh, how rude of me.

Person: Formerly, I’ve been known as “Nagano.” // Up until recently, I’ve also been called “Kuwagata.” However…

<< Pg 34 >>

Person: just a little before,

Person: I’ve also gone by the name… // Antora.

Box: —But we chose pursue the answers to what we wanted to know.

Person: Now then, Daisy,

Person: have you become aware of the present I’ve left you yet?

 <<<<<<0>>>>>>>>>

So yeah, that's what happened (still as clueless as you are). Nope, I have had no word from Vala about chapter 57 yet. Well have to wait and see. One question though. I would like to know if you would prefer direct translations or just a summary of the chapter. I would like to put in a word-by-word translation but I have this unsettling feeling that the translation will somehow become a scanlation rip-off. I don't want that to happen because I; as of Vala; would like to keep to Eimy and Voxxa's policy of not doing scanlations these raws. We want Ochibi-chan to continue their hard work as they give really good quality scanlations. I can put up the word-by-word translations, but I want everyone who is reading and looking at the raws to promise not turn them into scanlations. Okie? Leave a comment to let me know. 

So then, see all of you next month ;)
