Mirage of Blaze Memorial book tidbits  

Author: Kuwabara Mizuna

Japanese to Czech: Katsumi (Extrara)

Czech to English: Skinintheway

Note: This is a little part from the Memorial, apparently the author 'asked' various Mirage characters to reveal some hidden facts about our dear protagonists. XD 

HIS SECRETS (that only I know)

Miya about Takaya:

Well, in eating and drinking, my brother is just like a child. He would always play it cool in front of other people and drink strong black coffee. But when nobody is there to see, he puts a lot of sugar and milk in. And he also eats sushi without wasabi. That is what he is like…

Utarou about Takaya:

Hmm…something interesting about Ohgi-san, you say? Perhaps his eating habits…I think he dislikes ginger, because I noticed he secretly picks it out of his fried noodles. And then there is the way he sleeps. Obviously he likes to hug something in his sleep. The other night I saw him fall asleep with a teapot in his arms. He looked quite cute.

Ranmaru about Nobunaga:

Heh? Lord’s secret? If he finds out, I told you something like that, I‘m a dead man. But I could tell you about the first time he tasted coca-cola. He was truly adorable, he couldn’t get enough and drank five bottles at once…and spent the whole next day on the toilet.  And you know how he’s into all that modern stuff…The worst thing was when Tamagochi was in the fashion. While we were in a battle, I was the one who had to feed that thing. Can you imagine what would happen of me, if I let it die?! Better not to know…

Teruhiro  about Naoe:

My name is Teruhiro and I am  Yoshiaki’s older brother. I’m not sure if this could be called a secret, but ever since his childhood, Yoshiaki has been kind of…well, let’s say his behaviour wasn’t adequate to his age. Perhaps due to this fact, he‘s been very popular with women even as a child. The funniest story was, when his pre-school teacher told him in perfectly serious tone that she would wait for him utill he is legal age. Talking of ceremonies, he was very popular since high school. I can only hope he didn’t really date any of those widows…Still, considering how worried we were for him because of his suicide attempts, he has grown to be a capable and responsible man. It’s just that he uses the credit card a bit too much…

Kousaka about Naoe:

What? You want to learn some of Naoe’s secrets? It would be my pleasure! Just keep in mind, that after those 400 years, this will be a long list…In my personal database I keep an account of everything beginning with the way he used to wash his loin cloth and ending with the nonsenses he babbles in his sleep. This little article can hardly suffice, because what I know is worth more than just one novel. After all, I am the person who wrote Kouyou Gunkan. If you want to know, Naoe constantly keeps up his act, trying to look cool, but deep down, he is the same old country bumpkin. He loves to listen to himself, hence his monologues often take up to five pages of text. He keeps barking, despite being a total chickenshit. Also, he…(author‘s cut for excessive length)

I never knew that drinking black coffee is "adult". o.O However, Takaya likes drinking coffee with milk, just like me! *IS PROUD* XD

Call the ambulance. I can't stop laughing xD Nobunaga feeding Tamagochi. XD Oh no, I need to calm down XD
