I've uploaded translations up to page 286 of vol 4, but...I just noticed that page 287 seems to be missing from the scans. Does anyone have a scan of of that page? Otherwise, I'm going to have to skip it. --Eternal Dreamer 19:04, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

(Bjosx) Sorry I'm using an iPod and don't know where the enter button is but I think they have scans at the site crazy-cake

Thanks! The vol 4 scans from that site had page 287 (though strangely it was out of order). Now I'll be able to continue translating. --Eternal Dreamer 20:58, 20 April 2012 (CDT)

(Bjosx) Awesome. Glad I could help

Nooooo!!!!!! why did you stopped translating at a cliffhanger ? You are a meanie :( ... Thanks for your hard work --LSwRl 14:42, 21 April 2012 (CDT)

Well, the wait was only a day, so it's not really a cliffhanger. ;) Anyway, this chapter is now fully uploaded, and I'm moving on to the next chapter. --Eternal Dreamer 15:54, 21 April 2012 (CDT)

(Bjosx) Thanks for using your spare time to help out us people who can't read Japanese. Your a great person

Grammar Corrections

I've corrected some paragraphs, following the flow of previous chapters/volumes. I'm still confused whenever — should be changed to … or deleted. I'm afraid that — its used to open a dialog, but we use quotations marks whenever a Character talks (except for Ddraig and Albion inside the Sacred Gears), thus inside "" mustn't used (ex. “—! Impossible, they’ve transferred here!”). I'll keep an eye on these to ease the work of editors.--Braiam 03:56, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Hmm, I see your point. Personally, I think that using "—" is fine, since it basically represents a short pause of breath, and in the case of "—!", it just shows a dramatic moment of silence or shocked intake of breath. Still, I understand that it does look a bit awkward in English writing. Well, for now I'll simply keep adding it to remain as close to the original text as possible, and should the main editors decide to change it, I won't raise any complaints. Could you leave it be until then? --Eternal Dreamer 06:37, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Also, please don't change narration that starts with "—" into speech passages. It's still Issei's first person narration even if it starts with —, okay? And the "Kah" is narration, so don't displace it and turn it into speech. (I'm changing back the changes you made there.) I respect your right to edit, but these line breaks were in the original text, so I don't want to simply get rid of them unless I'm explicitly told to by Code-Zero and the other editors. --Eternal Dreamer 06:53, 22 April 2012 (CDT)
