Yeah, sorry about the long delay. It’s really hard to work in a room that’s as hot as a sauna.
A few things I’d like to mention. First off, I’m not sure when hiatus will hit me, because I’ll be volunteering at a senior home. So before that happens I figure I’d get at least the interesting scenes out. Second, I’m actually running out of files that have pictures on them (and there are several that are like 26 pages long, which would probably take ages to translate). Because of that, I would like to actually start playing the game for myself and getting my own pictures from the scenes. So the next translation might take a while to come out.
This one is somewhat out of my regular writing order. For now, I’d like to publish the scenes that have have inspired figures (the fantasy maids, Saber’s new clothing, to name a few). Fortunately, the maid scene has enough pictures in the file to make it good (the same can’t be said for some of the other ones I’m afraid).
I’ll stop rambling now.
The adventure around the Maid
Time: October 11th
Location: Tosaka Mansion
Characters: Tosaka Rin
Scene 1: Living room
“…Good, it’s my time to shine again.”
I’ve been muttering the same thing the whole time I was brewing tea in the kitchen. Even though I hate to admit it, I’ve yet to make tea that satisfied that person.
“It seems that person’s full of vigour today.”
I heard it’s something about clothing
If we’re going somewhere for vacation then I won’t be able to find suitable clothing, Tosaka says as she started pulling things from her closet, such a large commotion.
Organizing a closet has nothing to do with a guy like me
“…Whatever, there’s no way I’m getting through this…”
If I insist on helping, I will only be greeted by an overcast of Gandr Shots.
So without her instructions I can only stay downstairs with one of her textbooks, whose contents are largely incomprehensable…However, she just called me up, so I brewed some tea to bring with me.
Scene 2: Tosaka’s bedroom.
“Tosaka, I’m come in.”
“OK…Ha…I’m exhausted.”
“Thank you. Hmm, a cup of tea after work really is a hard to come by enjoyment.
Tosaka took the cup, and pressed her lips to the rim of the tea cup.
Just like she said, she couldn’t wait for the red tea anymore.
Just before Tosaka presented her score on the tea, I noticed the clothes on Tosaka’s bed.
“Hmm?”
It’s some unfamiliar, foreign clothing
Black dresses with a white apron
This is…
“Looks like maid dresses.”
“Not ‘looks like’, they are servant (Servants referring to heroic spirits will always be capitalized to avoid confusion). I have no idea how they got here.”
Tosaka looked at the maid dresses as she drank her red tea.
Servants (beginning of a sentence, can’t be avoided)…That’s right, seeing as Tosaka lives alone here, so…
“Were there any before? Maids in Tosaka’s house.”
“…There were when father was here. The last one left when I entered middle school.”
“I thought the maid outfits were done with at that point, but I never expected them to show upagain. Even though it was an unexpected turn out, what should I do with them?”
“What to do with then…How about putting them on?”
Clothing are made to be worn, right?
“…Hmph, so Emiya-kun has a liking for this sort of thing~”
“Why do you have to put it like that. The purpose of clothing is to be worn. What else are you going to use them for, decorations?”
“Hehehe, What, the way you look at Ilyasviel’s maids, it’s not because they’re homunculus, it’s because they’re maid clothing right?”
“…”
I’m denying it.
I’m only impressed by the fact that they’re dressed complete in white, including their headscarves (when someone has a proper name please tell me).
“Then, why don’t you try it on, Tosaka.”
“You’re kidding right? As the head of the Tosaka family, why should I wear a maid dress!”
She’s pissed
Seems like her strange, stubborn pride is what’s stopping her.
“…”
I feel that as long as it fits, nothing else matters when you put it on.
“…But, you’re right. Clothing can only be pretty when they’re worn. If you must make someone put it on I’d like to see how Saber will look wearing it, I think it’ll be great.”
“Ah…Make Saber wear it? That feels a bit…”
I love this shot, gotta throw it out there
It suits her, and at the same time it doesn’t suit her.
No, she’ll be pissed at Tosaka as well.
What did Shiro and Rin make me wear, she’d yell
But…
“Are Servants termed so just because a maid is a servant?”
“Hmm, I fear it might be offending so I didn’t talk about the reason, but I knew you’d say something like this, I feel a bit more reassured.”
…Just like what I thought?
Even though Saber might be sitting on the floor and hugging her knees while shooting “No, No” or similar expressions on the carpet (imagine Mio, I guess), she might also ask questions about maid accessories without embarrassment.
“If Tosaka won’t wear it, how about Sakura?”
“…”
What’s with the exasperated look?
Even though I think she’s giving me the ‘You dare fantasise my sister in that kind of clothing, what in the world are you thinking, this is a moron sempai who lacks any integrity…’, but…
“That girl would happily put it on…then pretend Shiro is her husband…It’d really dangerous, I have to make sure Sakura doesn’t see this…”
The shameless and worthless big sister mumbled to herself in a low voice.
“What’s with all this husband stuff, what are you talking about. Sakura won’t do these things.”
“Eh? Ah, so you heard it..? Ahaha”
“Ok…Then, if Sakura is illsuited we’ll try Rider. Neither her attitude nor her appearance are bad, it feels she’s well suited.”
“…Lacking bad points can also be a scary thing.”
For the steady and selfless Rider, she will make the perfect image of being the personal servant of her master Sakura.
Seeing as Rider isn’t into fashion, she wouldn’t think of anything when she sees the maid dress, she’ll very likely just put it on.
“But Rider…Even looking at it from that angle she’s one to do reckless things…Hmm..”
“You’ve been muttering to yourself since we started, I have no idea what you’re speaking over there. Nevermind that, now, the other suitable person…”
“AHAHAHA!”
Tosaka suddenly bursted with laughter
It’s the same person in her mind, but her reaction is the complete opposite of mine.
“That’s a good one, Fujimura-sensei might be very happy! She’d be sure to wear it to school. Then, Shiro will have to frantically blurt out the reason as to why the teacher is wearing a maid outfit!”
That person actually said that with a very cheerful tone
…Even so…I was just thinking the same thing…
“…Even though I was only thinking that it was a good idea for a split second I’m still an idiot. Fuji-nee is absolutely off-limits.”
“Yes, it’ll be extremely agonizing if I ran into that kind of Fujimura-sensei. I’ll get a stomach ache from laughing. But, the chances of very interesting things happening are definitely high.”
Tosaka picks up the maid outfit on her bed.
She’s probably putting it away for now
But, I seem to be bothered by how things are just ending like this.
“…Hehehe…”
“W..What’s wrong Tosaka.”
“So you do want to see what I’d look like wearing it?”
“Gulp”
There’s no reason for me not to want to see
But, it’s kind of inappropriate to just say it out loud.
…On top of that, even if my wish comes true, I don’t know how much I’d have to pay back.
“But, nevermind…Even so I’d like to see.”
“Amazing amazing simply amazing, for the honest Emiya-kun, I’d definitely reward you some day.”
The closet door closed with a clank, the maid dress disappeared into the darkness just like that.
Ah…Good bye, another miracle must just occur.
“Good, I’m done.”
“You worked hard (not sure how it’s supposed to be, to be honest)…Right, there are some things in that book downstairs that I don’t understand.”
“Is that so, there’s still time, I’ll teach you. Bring it here.”
“Thank you, Tosaka. Then, for the learning, I’m in your care.”

Volunteer work, good for you!
Wow I think I heard about this from you or someone about the maid outfits, but it really is strange to have a line of figures based on nothing but Shirou’s imagination XD I guess it’s as strange as those Freeing Haruhi bunny girls ^^;
Thanks for the translations! Glad to read what this maid thing was all about ^_^
