More quick notes...
Feb. 21st, 2011 01:04 amThere is no particular catalyst for this post, other than me having gotten off my ass and read some of the novel translations here and wanting to touch on some key points...
10-years-old Ryner on killing: "Killing is the most troublesome thing of all. No matter how calm you may look after killing someone, there are things that you have to bear, right? You'd just feel really bad, and ghosts might just pop up during the middle of the night. The more you kill, the heavier it gets, and you don't even feel like walking anymore...'aah, I'm so sleepy I don't want to go to school anymore'...ah, well, that might be a bit different....but anyways, it's a pain."
10-years-old Ryner on conflict: "But I really want to do it without getting into conflicts, if possible. If I don't draw the army's attention somewhere else, I'm sure there'll be pursuers....fighting is a pain."
( What does this mean? )
BONUS! 6-years-old Ryner on relationships: "….w-well….erm, I-I don’t think so, okay? I-it’s like that, you see. Some worthless guy like that isn’t fit for a beautiful woman like Germer…a-and guys are like…made to be beaten up by women, so talking about separation’n’stuff just because he got beat up a little is like…totally pathetic…so…d-don’t beat me up…"
Said before pleading a girl not to kick his ass. Oh Ryner.
