Translation of episode 364

It's taken a little while (it's my fault too, long week), but the translation of episode 364 is available. It's been posted on skullknight.net as usual but I'm also sharing it here in case that's convenient for some of you.

Fantasia arc
Chapter of the Elf Island
Tears of morning dew

Page 01

Guts: You…

Guts: Why (are you) here.…

Guts: …Hey

Page 02

Serpico: Guts?

Schierke: (You're) just in time for dinner…

Schierke: That child…

Guts: I picked him up over there.

Note:  "Pick up" can be used literally, but can also mean accidentally  adopting an abandoned child from the streets or elsewhere. It’s an  expression.

Page 03

Serpico: Picked up...

Isidro: There you are!

Puck: Ohhh! Little one, you're alive!

Isma: Ah, I saw you on my island! You've swum here from there?

Ivalera: Maybe he stowed away (on our ship)?

Schierke: The fact he is on this island…

Schierke: No doubt, it means this boy is…

Schierke: You're the "Sovereign of the Flower Storm"… Danan.

Schierke: You showed up wherever we went, incarnated into that form to follow our journey.

Ivalera: Come to think of it, you've said so before.

Isma: Are you sure?

Schierke: Yes.

Isidro: Really?

Ivalera: An amateur (like you) can't understand!

Page 04

Puck: I understand your desire to get along with youngsters but…

Puck: There’s a limit in dressing yourself up to look young, auntie!

Puck: I’m quite ashamed of it… As your kindred.

Danan: Who's the auntie?

Danan: Since you've just arrived here, (I brought) freshly-baked pumpkin pies. ♡

Schierke & Ivalera: Huhh?

Danan: Ohh, so cute! ♡

Danan: And who would you be?

Schierke: Mmm… Danan

Schierke: You don’t know this boy…

Danan: He's not from this island.

Isma: You guessed wrong.

Ivalera: Don’t mind it, Schierke!

Isidro: Speaking of which, you also told us of this expert opinion with an arrogant look back on the ship, huh?

Puck: You’re at the age when you want to draw attention to yourself, Schierke-chan ♡

Ivalera: Revenge for what happened during the day!? How narrow-minded! Look at you, the idiot combo who's always showing off!

Puck: ♪ All the idiots condescend～ ♪

Guts: Excuse me.

Note: The meaning of the word "auntie" here is "middle-aged woman".

Note: In this specific case, the suffix "chan" is important to convey that Puck speaks to Schierke as if she's a young child.

Note: Puck and Ivalera repeatedly use the the same word (イキリ), which can mean showing off, condescending, bluffing…

Page 05

Guts: Please take him upstairs… to Casca.

Schierke: ...All right.

Page 07

Casca: How… did you (come) here?

Farnese: Do you remember him, Casca!?

Casca: Yes… I remember

Casca: This boy, who comes during full moon nights.

Danan: Full moon nights.

Schierke: Yes.

Schierke: During our journey, he showed up suddenly during full moon nights and disappeared in the morning…

Isidro: He's sticking to Casca as always.

Schierke: I just thought… The Sovereign of Elves… You came to see us in an incarnated form…

Page 08

Danan:  It’s true, I had been informed of the path of your journey. But it was  through oracles received in dreams from Flora, your teacher.

Schierke: My teacher…..

Danan: I was also told about the event of those full moon nights.

Danan: …About that boy

Danan:  It's not surprising you were mistaken. This boy is not the child of an  ordinary person. Even the innocent Od surrounding him is very similar to  us, the elves.

Danan: The fact that the boy could enter this island

Danan: Is evidence that he bears no hostility

Danan: Because he managed to reach the island, led by "the fateful connection of the island".

Schierke: …The fateful connection of the island…

Danan: As for "the island", it includes its inhabitants.

Danan: In this case, you three, Schierke, Farnese and Casca.

Farnese: Us…?

Page 09

Danan: You, of course, as a magician

Danan: Farnese, with my old stuff

Danan: Casca, with the elf's hunting outfit that she has made hers

Danan: The casting ritual to make you three become inhabitants of the island has been accomplished.

Danan: Above all else, everything here accepts you.

Schierke: We…

Schierke: Have been accepted…

Danan: So the fateful connection between you and the boy led him to this island.

Danan: Especially, Casca seems to have a tight bond with him.

Puck: Waaaa… I'm being sucked~ I remember something. This feeling~

Note: The boy is sucking on him like he's an Icee popsicle or a Go-Gurt.

Page 10

Danan: ...Him as well

Page 11

Casca: Good morning

Farnese: Good morning

Isidro: I’ve sweated out a lot right after dawn…

Isidro: Oh!

Isidro: What (are) you, you didn't disappear in the morning this time.

Schierke: …Right.

Danan: It can't happen because the flow of time is vague on this island.

Danan: Here’s some freshly baked bread.

Isidro: …She really is like an auntie who likes to take care of neighbors.

Note: Isidro uses the same kanji (焼) as the one from Danan's line that means "bake", making his comment funnier.

Danan: A full moon night in the outside world lasts for at least a few days here. Maybe he can stay with us for a while.

Schierke: Good news, Casca.

Casca: Yeah…

Page 12

Danan: He's not an ordinary boy.

Gedflynn: Hmmm…

Danan: I don’t know his origin but I don’t sense any hostility from him at all.

Danan: Even the elves are not cautious with him at all, on the contrary they're listening to him like that.

Danan: For now, let’s keep an eye on him.

Page 14

Farnese: (They’re) relaxed.

Schierke: …Indeed.

Farnese: It was the same before. But this time, they’re utterly familiar with each other.

Farnese: Like a real mom and her child…

Farnese: Surely, for Casca, staying with that boy will be related to the healing of her wounded heart.

Serpico: About what you said, since we all live under the same roof right now, isn't it already like a family?

Schierke: …A family

Schierke: …But

Page 16

Guts: As expected, it's still too hard without this one

Guts: You…

Page 17

Guts: He..hey

Guts: Hey there

Guts: What's that?

Guts: Pretending to be a knight?

Guts: Hyaa

Guts: Hyaa

Guts: …Jeez, what are you, kid?

Page 18

Puck: He～y!

Puck: Little one～!

Puck: Here's a snack～

Puck: Come out～

Guts: Stay with (her).

Page 19

Casca: It feels natural to be doing this.

Casca: Since I first met him on the beach on that full moon night

Casca: …No, since before that moment, Elaine (I) has known this boy.

Casca: …I remember the yearning I had at that time

Casca: Loveliness

Casca: Painfulness

Casca: …But

Casca: Where (did I have these feelings)…?

Page 22

Schierke: Casca?

Griffith: I was dreaming…

Griffith: Of becoming a child during a full moon night

Griffith: I was cradled in the warmth that I had missed.

Page 23

Griffith: However

Griffith: When I wake up from the dream

Griffith: Only a faint feeling of desolation is left...

Page 24

Griffith: …And even that disappears immediately

Griffith: With one streak of tears

Griffith: Like morning dew
