MF Chapter 46 Summary
It's not a very detailed summary, because I'm just quickly reading through it (I have finals this week ;A; ) but it's something, right? ;D
Here you go!
The chapter starts out with Lulu asking to talk with Shiki. He refuses, saying he has no reason to speak to a backstabber. Lulu asks what he thinks of Homurabi, and Shiki responds saying it doesn't matter what he thinks - the contract calls for complete obedience, nothing more. Aya says that he says that, but he doesn't agree with it at all. Lulu tries to reason with him, but he rejects her, saying that both she and Sawaki are going against the terms of the contract. Lulu disagrees, saying that her contract was with the "old" Homurabi; so, it is her duty to bring him back. She then allows Aya and Kengo to give Shiki his 100 strikes.
In the meantime, Kou (FINALLY) reenters the series, having reached the back entrance to the Royal Palace. Upon entering, he encounters Sawaki, who asks if Kou was the one to lead everyone there. With this, Kou realizes that no one else has reached the palace, and says he wouldn't lead them into a trap. After some teasing, Sawaki asks why Kou came to the Shadow World when he's in such bad condition. Kou replies that Shirogane doesn't need his help to succeed. He then deflects the question, asking if Sawaki thinks he can be forgive because, though he's stubborn and moody, he had a good reputation with the kings. "Only Ryuuko and I know what you did". Then Kou says, because if Sawaki were merely to die, Kou would be unable to forgive him, so instead he will kill Sawaki. Sawaki says that he will kill Kou so he can gain peace.
The scene then cuts back to the hospital, where the nurse from before enters Master's room to take his temperature. Shisui is sitting at the window, and the nurse is revealed to be one of his "children", Arisa. Arisa tells Shisui that bad things have been happening since Shirogane and the others crossed to the Shadow World. Arisa admits that she's been wondering if Homurabi really wants to destroy the world, and that if he is just appearing to want that on the surface, what his true intentions would be. Shisui reminds her that even people he has known for a long time try to hide things from him. He says that Shirogane, from the beginning, always tried to hide his emotions, which makes Shisui worry. Ryuuko apparently was always straightforward and honest, so Shisui didn't worry about him. He also says that he drove Homurabi into a corner with his powers, and he grieves that because he is unable to go, he is now stuck where he is.
Back in the Shadow World, Nanaya, Akira, and Shirogane have arrived at the Royal Palace. Homurabi goes to meet them.
What do you guys think? Looks like the epicness is finally picking up! I'm excited to watch Kou and Sawaki go at each other!
Here you go!

crystal scherzo - Number, Guilt 06
crystal scherzo, my solo scanslation project, makes its first release: Guilt (chapter) 06 of Number, by Kawori Tsubaki.
Translation, image editing, and all that other jazz done entirely by me, but I must thank nocturneu of LiveJournal for acting as my scanner.
Since I'm acting completely solo, I can't promise it's amazing quality, but I did do my very best and I'm very proud of it.
You can read the chapter at MangaFox, or if you wish to download it, click on the "crystal scherzo" link on the sidebar and then go through "Number". :)
Hope you guys enjoy it~!

ASCENDEAD MASTER - Translation
To be honest, this is one of my favourites from Versailles. Powerful, with beautiful orchestral work and an absolutely amazing guitar solo. The lyrics, too, are awesome.
… I don’t have much to say. I just like listening to it. :D

二度と戻せない戻れないこの弓は
陰る雲の中 抱かれ目覚めた
Nido to modosenai modorenai kono yumi ha
Kageru kumo no naka Dakare mezameta
This bow cannot be put back again, cannot be returned
In the darkening clouds, I awakened and embraced you
愛し合い引き寄せ合って
気づかず弾く運命
Aishiai hikiyoseatte
Kizukazu hajiku sadame
We love one another, pulling ourselves together
Without showing how we play our fate.
人は皆、箱船を揺らし背く罪人
さぁその手で孤独を焼き消してくれ
Hito wa minna, hakobune wo yurashi somuku tsumibito
Saa! Sono te de kodoku wo yakikeshitekure
People are all disobedient sinners that infringe on the shaking ark
Yes, with that hand, burn away the loneliness.

革命は美しく 燃え上がるセレナーデ
罪な首筋に噛み付いてあげる
危険なほどに紅く 強く激しく燃えて
罪と醜さを吸い出してあげる
Kakumei ha utsukushiku Moeagaru SERENADE
Tsumi na kubisuji ni kamitsuiteageru
Kiken na hodo ni akaku Tsuyoku hageshiku moete
Tsumi to minikusa wo suidashite ageru
Revolution is beautiful, a serenade bursting into flames
I’ll bite into the nape of your sinful neck.
So crimson it's dangerous, strongly and violently it burns.
I will drink up the sin and ugliness.
立ち籠める霧 黒い海へ
人は漕ぎ出し 神は沈めた
Tachikomeru kiri Kuroi umi he
Hito wa kogidashi Kami ha shizumeta
Mist hovers over you towards a black sea -
People begin rowing, and God sinks.
Ah...母なる薔薇よ教えてくれ
もう許せない これも罰なのか？
Ah... hahanaru bara yo, oshietekure
Mou yurusenai? Kore mo batsu na no ka?
Ah... my mother rose, tell me;
Am I already forsaken? Is this also a punishment?

私は箱船を渡す時の旅人
永遠と共に孤独を司る者
Watashi ha hakobune wo watasu toki no tabibito
Towa to tomo ni kodoku wo tsukasadoru mono
I am a traveller from the time of the ark,
A person commanding solitude through eternity.
革命は美しく 燃え上がるセレナーデ
罪な首筋に噛み付いてあげる
孤独を焼き殺して！ 強く激しく燃えて
罪と醜さを吸い出してやろう
Kakumei ha utsukushiku Moeagaru SERENADE
Tsumi na kubisuji ni kamitsuite ageru
Kodoku wo yakikoroshite! Tsuyoku hageshiku moete
Tsumi to minikusa wo suidashiteyarou
Revolution is beautiful, a serenade that bursts into flames
I’ll bite into the nape of your sinful neck.
Loneliness burning you to death! Burn stronger, more violently!
Sin and impurity... shall I draw it out?
私は箱船を降りた罪な旅人
そう...永遠の罪人
Watashi ha hakobune wo orita tsumi na tabibito
Sou... towa no tsumibito
I am a sinful traveller that descended from the ark.
Yes... eternally a sinner.

革命は美しく 燃え上がるセレナーデ
罪な首筋に噛み付いてあげる
危険なほどに熱く 強く激しく抱いて
罪と醜さを吸い出してあげる
Kakumei ha utsukushiku moeagaru SERENADE
Tsumi na kubisuji ni kamitsuite ageru
Kiken na hodo ni atsuku tsuyoku hageshiku daite
Tsumi to minikusa wo suidashiteageru
Revolution is beautiful, a serenade that bursts into flames
I’ll bite into the nape of your sinful neck.
So feverish it's dangerous - hold it to you, strongly, violently.
I will drink your sin and ugliness away.
誰もいなくなったこの祭壇の上
神になり
Dare mo inakunatta kono saidan no ue
Kami ni nari
On this altar, where everyone else disappeared,
I will become god.
Ah...人は皆求めるだろう 哀しき永遠の命を
Ah... Hito ha minna motomerudarou Kanashiki towa no inochi wo
Ah... all people pursue a pitiful, eternal life.
憎しみを 争いを 孤独と引き換えにして
今吸い出してあげよう そう目を閉じて
Nikushimi wo Arasoi wo Kodoku to hikikae ni shite
Ima, suidashite ageyou? Sou me wo tojite
Hatred, rivalry - exchange them for loneliness.
Shall I now drink it away? - Then, close your eyes...
