While looking at the Macbeth’s curtain call, Nogiku thinks,
“My dagger..that is, a fragment of that incomparably filthy memory. Before, in
order to make me become the substitute of ‘Fuchi Sugeyo’, whether it is
clothes, jewelry or even make up, father will demand that I wear or use the
same things as that woman. And among these, what he is most persistent with
is..”
Flashback: While holding up her chin near her lips, he said,
“‘SUGEYO’..except for you, there is no second person in this world who’ll suit
this blood-like scarlet lips.” Narration: “Scarlet lipstick. *scene of multiple
lipsticks on the table* Of course, this lipstick isn’t the same with Kasane’s
for it doesn’t have any power...
...*read a book* But, when I learned that the ‘lipstick’ is
the reason for her ability to switch faces, I have noticed that in that house,
one of the numerous lipsticks is a ‘lipstick’ that looks exactly the same as
the one that Kasane has. *recalls Kasane holding out her lipstick as a
necklace* Because I felt that there is a possibility that the crucial clue had
something to do with the lipstick so from that room’s dresser, I brought it out
with me.
Afterwards, during the Glass Menagerie’s curtain call, I saw
that Tanzawa Nina, asking me to kill her ‘Tanzawa Nina’ [real one]. Standing in
that radiance and enjoying the audience’s cheer as much as she likes, I’ve
thought that for Kasane, those are looks of admiration.. *Kasane happily waved
up while Nogiku looked down to her and thought, “..if.”* All of that become a
look of contempt and rejection--
...Thus, I finally understood what is the mission that I
should accomplish. If I kill Nina, Kasane will definitely want another ‘face’
that she can make use of. At that time, I’ll set myself up as a bait *picture
of a moth* and drag her down to the deepest layer of hell. *Nogiku pulling
Kasane to the web then there is a picture of a dagger* I’ll use this fake
lipstick *drops the lipstick like a dagger*” End flashback.
Nogiku holds the lipstick tight in her hand while everyone
is applauding. On the day of the last performance, holding the script, Yoshio
says, “Then, the matinee will start soon. After this performance, what’s left
is tonight’s last performance...
...You guys probably heard the news about some big shots
coming. And because of this, it will cause a change of mood and you won’t be
able to concentrate on the role. No matter who the audience is, in order for
them to see a more remarkable performance than before, it is fine for you
people to just do what you should do!”
Everyone says okay. Then, the staff member says that Yoshio
said it so pleasant to hear yet he is the most nervous of them all and one
really cannot do anything about it. Holding his stomach, ill Yoshio asks him to
help give him some stomach medicine.
At the backstage, a woman’s figure goes in front of Kasane
and holds up her chin. Kasane says, “There’s no need to worry, mother. Just
like what Fujihara-san said, I’ll do well the thing that I should do. *widens
eyes* Afterwards, I’ll surpass you. Look at the radiance and the future that
you weren’t able to see, I’ll make them into things that I deserve to enjoy..!”
Wearing a staff member ID, Nogiku thinks that thanks to
Kingo, she can easily sneak inside the theater. As she goes upstairs and the
drama is starting, Nogiku thinks that right now, there will be two performances
for the day.
“While the first performance is currently being played, I’ll take advantage of the time when everyone is currently not around. I’ll secretly infiltrate the backstage.” She goes into the dressing room.At the play, holding a calla lily, Lady Macbeth says, “Come, you evil devils who watching humans attentively. *breaks the calla lily’s stem*...
...Right now, please dispel my feminine weakness. Use the most peak fiendish’s cruelty to concentrate into my whole body.” Nogiku finds Kasane’s bag. She takes out the purse and opens it. She thinks that at that time, Kasane didn’t conceal it and in front of her, Kasane put the lipstick inside here.

She thinks that at that time, Kasane didn’t conceal it and in front of her, Kasane put the lipstick inside here.
Nogiku puts her hand inside the purse. Lady Macbeth says,
“Come, gloomiest night. Use hell’s darkest thick smoke to envelop around me.
Make my sharp dagger unable to see the wounds that it cuts open.” Nogiku takes
out the lipstick.
She thinks that as expected, the case design is the same and
even the lipstick color is completely the same. “I’ll exchange the two
lipstick. *puts the fake lipstick in the purse* And for the real ‘lipstick’, it
is--” Water is splashing on the faucet. Macbeth says, “My beloved wife, King
Duncan is coming here tonight.”
Lady Macbeth asks, “When is he leaving?” Macbeth says that
it should be—tomorrow. Lady Macbeth says, “Is that so. Then, I absolutely won’t
let that kind of tomorrow to come out in the light of the sun!” Narration: “The
dream, light and future that Kasane grasp in her hand, I will make them all
disappear.”
Thus, starting from now on, my grudge will be at its peak of
perfection. What’s left to do is the ‘switch’ before the last performance and
that’s it. But, at that time, the lipstick that Saki will be holding the fake
lipstick...
...That kiss won’t renew and continue the switching time!
That means.. He he.. Ha ha ha ha, after the 12 hour morning ‘switch’, just in
time for the curtain call, actress ‘Saki’ will become ‘Kasane’!! ..I’ll
properly witness it until the very end. The very last moment of Saki’s fate
[/life].”
Comment: I guess
I was naive to think that Nogiku will only switch the lipstick and give Kasane
a mental blow of being seen ugly in front of the audience. Apparently, she is
also going to destroy the lipstick which is a good idea if she wants to totally
end this.
It is amazing how the mangaka is overlapping Lady Macbeth’s
lines with what Nogiku is doing. Also, in this chapter, it also kind of show ‘who
is behind’ the two sisters. For Kasane, it is her mother whom she wants to
surpass. For Nogiku, it is her father who made her life miserable until his
death. Scans by RAD汉化组

Thank you so much o(>_<)o!!! I'm so glad I found this website as I've been waiting forever for an update T_T
ReplyDeleteBy chance do you know if this is approching the end of the manga or not?
Again thank you, that made my day!!
You're welcome ^-^
DeleteI don't know. It seems not yet..
Glad to hear that ^^
Thank you for the update!! :D
ReplyDeleteI actually hope that Nogiku will succeed because I don't want her to become a tool like her mother or Nina . But yeah.. I have a strong feeling that it will not happen.
Thanks for reading ^-^
DeleteI don't know about her mother but for Nogiku, she was 'asking for it'. The same with Nina. For Nina, she realized too late the price for it. In a way, she planned to use Kasane for her own goals but it backfired. Such a tragedy.
