Note: I
decided to translate Loveless 4 only because for me it is the most interesting
volume in the series, so it’s only for my own tastes and pleisure. I can be very
egoist you know. But at least I share the product of my egocentricity. ;) I hope you’ll like this volume too~

P61
Nagisa:
“I’m here, King Nageyari!”
P62
Nageyari:
“Weird clothes. You look like a princess.”
Nagisa: “You’re
cold even when you admire someone.”
Nageyari:
“I didn’t say you looked bad.”
Nagisa:
“Fff. More importantly: here’s a present for you. Blood was cleaned.”
Nageyari:
“What...?”
Nagisa: “We’ve
beaten your jerk.”
P63
Nageyari: “....
Soubi-kun?”
Nagisa: “Right!
As we decided! That guy! Our dear Zero did their job prefectly well!”
Nageyari: “Impossible.”
Nagisa: “It is possible! It’s true ! Look at his
butterfly earrings! We beat him!”
Nageyari:
“I don’t know these earrings...”
Nagisa: “They’re
his earrings! Admit it!!”
P64
Nagisa: “Your
Soubi lost to our Zero! How do you feel?”
Nageyari:
“Nothing... it’s of no interest.”
Nagisa: “Well,
you don’t want to admit your defeat right?”
Nageyari:
“Anyhow it’s cunning”
Nagisa: “What’s
cunning!? It’s not cunning!!”
Nageyari:
“Shut up, Nagisa-sensei! Soubi just can’t lose.”
P65
Nageyari:
“Perhaps you broke the rule, and have him had a fight with an handicap. Like a
2 against 1 fight. Am I right? Soubi-kun can’t be defeated. But this is
interesting. Thank you. If you have to fight, follow the rules. If his
Sacrifice is absent, he won’t fight seriously. He’s really too kind, isn’t he?”
Nagisa: “Is
it kindness? We were ordered to defeat him! Moron!”
P66
Nageyari:
“Soubi-kun’s evaluation will occurr. Your investigation wasn’t evaluated. Zero
can’t win over Soubi.”
Nagisa: “We
already won!!”
Nageyari:
“They can’t. It has nothing to do with Zero.”
Nagisa: “All
right! We’ll have a 2 against 2 fight if you want to!! Only because you’re
begging me pityfully!!”
P67
Nageyari:
“I’m not pityfull.”
Nagisa: “Yes
you are! You positively are! Hello? Ha? Yamato? It’s me. It’s as expected, it’s
useless if the fight isn’t equal. We need to fight once more. What? That’s
right. Tomorrow would be perfect.”
Nageyari:
“Is it okay if I eat it?”
Nagisa: “No
way! Stop!! It’s definitely no good!!”
P68
Natsuo: “Teams
of two fighters meet. The Sacrifice takes all damages and the Warcraft attacks.
Usually, a fight includes two teams of two persons. You know that already
right?”
Ritsuka: “Yeah...”
Natsuo: “While
the fighter expands his fighting territory, his strength and will change into a
spell and realize it. Damages are accumulating in the shape of a ‘restriction’.
If he Sacrifice is completely restricted until the action weak point, you lose.”
P69
Natsuo:
“The Sacrifice controls his Warcraft. The standard Warcraft will move according
to the will of his Sacrifice.”
Youji:
“Soubi is the ideal Warcraft. I can’t compare to him. I don’t have such a
strong will. I have to give everything as a Sacrifice.”
Ritsuka:
“... Why?”
Youji: “Why?”
you want to know the reason? If it was me I wouldn’t care. Even if you knew the
reason, you wouldn’t be able to change Soubi. The thing you definitely can’t do
is remaining neutral in your choice! You have to accept Soubi as he is, or...”
P70
Youji: “Use
him as a sword fodder. Choose! If the master hesitates, the one who is abused
is the dog. To use efficiently the Warcraft, you must comunicate clearly. If
you can’t show your courage to your partner, you won’t be a Sacrifice.
Especially if he doesn’t receive the order. Command him! It’s his own desire.”
P71
Soubi: “Wake
him.”
Ritsuka: “He’ll
open his eyes in time!”
Soubi: “If
you ordered him to wake up, he would obey at once.”
Ritsuka: “Shut
up!”
Youji: “You
know Ritsuka, it would be better if you got used to give orders. That guy likes
that kind of masochism.”
Soubi: “That’s
a masochist interpretation .”
Youji: “Ha?
You were awake?”
Soubi: “Stop
picking on Ritsuka.”
Youji: “But
Soubi, you like being ordered right?”
Soubi: “Only
by my master.”
