KKM last novel spoilers (a little general first and then all about Wolf)
The new KKM novel was officially released in Japan today, but it's been 5 days that it was available on online shopping store and that's why I got to know spoilers before.
Now, the most important thing for me is to thank lovely
ritsu2 for scanning for me the last 4 pages of the book, without her I definitely wouldn't have been able to translate the most important part literally. (important because it has Wolfram, and I guess people want to know about him in this comm.)
Now the rest.
Let me tell you, Takabayashi sensei is bad, she didn't show him until the last 4 pages and then;_;
I'm trying to sum up the situation so you can have a good view of the rest too..I wait for your comments, mine were very sad and biased on Yuuram part so you are free to skip them ok?
Be aware the first cut has looong text under.
It's not easy to sum up what happened in the novels, the first thing you must know is that they are totally different from the anime you've watched.
Conrad is still in betrayal mode even if he and Yuuri had a "moment" when it seemed like they reconciled.
Yuuri didn't trust Conrad since the Dai Shimaron arch...7 novels ago.
In this moment however we see two groups separated (I have the last two novels but I miss the two before so I don't have a good idea of what was happening before)
The groups were Conrad, Yozak, Yuuri and Saralegi <--king of Shou Shimaron and the second group was Wolfram, Adelbert and Gisela, Wolfram as always is looking for Yuuri because he is worried and well because you know Wolfram, where Yuuri is it's his place after all.
But then, it's been some novels that they were separated and I had hoped that in this novel they could finally meet again.
Another thing you must know is that we don't have any news of Yozak after the novel before this one, Yuuri thinks he is dead.
Conrad was busy fighting with Zombies (the same showed in Soushi's anime arch I think) and Yuuri was left alone with Saralegi who seemed to be a nice person.(at least he was until..now ._.)
But then Yuuri for no apparent reason at the end of the last book became blind(probably due to stress..not sure), Saralegi in the mean time tortured him for 5 days without giving him water and tried to strangle him.
Conrad saved him just in time.
Murata in the meantime is on earth, trying to go to Shin Makoku and is worried because he heard Yuuri's voice (pleas of help?) in his mind. (it was when Saralegi was torturing him)
Then Conrad as I said saves him just in time.
I'll skip all the Conrad/Yuuri parts because I just don't feel like writing them here, (but if you want to know just ask, I would suggest to ask to some ConYuu fan tho..I'm sure they can explain these scenes way better than me), some spoilers made me worry too much (as a Yuuram fan) especially on one scene, but then in reality there was a big misunderstanding and I learned to not believe in what some Conyuu jap websites write^_- (especially in a particular scene wher it was mentioned a mouth-to-mouth thing that never happened^^::)
But during this chapter I think Yuuri started again to trust Conrad.
So we have, Conrad and Yuuri now alone, Yuuri telling Conrad he thinks Yozak is dead (no he can't be dead;_; really;_;) and from here I'll start the narration of what happened at the end of this novel especially in the last 4 pages.
At the end of the book Yuuri his hiding, Conrad left him alone for a little while because he went to check on something (apparently he heard some noise and wanted to check).
While Yuuri was hiding a person covered in a cloak appeared.
Yuuri remained still but then, something made him think it was Conrad and so he started to call his name, he just said - Co..- and then realized it was not Conrad and they started to fight, or better, the cloak covered person attacked him and he was trying to run away. (remember, Yuuri is still blind, he can distinguish light and darkness but he can't see humans if not in a very approximative way, like a child's drawing)
Then, when he really realized that this person wanted to kill him the Maou came out but Yuuri kept his consciousness and felt himself talking in a voice that was not his own.. ..(it's like..Yuuri developing a third personality that he can't control and that is very..aggressive)
The Maou attacked the opponent whose sword broke while he was attacking...and stabbed him.
From here I'm translating literally:
"The opponent body's lurched, the air was filled with a rusty smell and the body collapsed on me, but in that moment, without any doubt....I remembered this scent and I was confused because it was not only blood...
- Wolf...? -
-....Yu... -
My cuff and palm were soaked with something tiepid. Wolfram's weight fell heavily on my shoulders.
- Wolfram!?-
-....Yuuri-
While I embraced him I gently kneeled on the ground.
- I couldn't see, really, I didn't know! -
- Me too. I heard a different voice...it's not...your...fault-
- Wolf!-
Everybody, he too says that is't not my fault.
But the truth is that it's all my fault.
Yeah for who didn't get it, Wolfram was stabbed by Yuuri.
And the book ends on Yuuri's word in the end.
Basically, Wolfram said he heard a voice that was not Yuuri's voice, but since he attacked instantly it's possible that he heard this voice before attacking.
That leaves open the option that, being that place very scary and cursed (Yuuri became blind there) something else happened and made them..fight each other without knowing who the opponent was;_;
Wolfram was stabbed really bad..and we won't get to know what happen very soon since next novel release is yet to be scheduled....
That's all about my explanation
As a Yuuram fan, I found this book really unfair at the beginning.
You can't know how much time Conrad spent with Yuuri, instead Wolfram who gets always separated from Yuuri when he finally had a chance to see him again is stabbed.
I wrote a lot of comments on my lj about that but if you are a Conrad fan just skip them, because I'm quite bashing Conrad (I could't help it I was really ANGRY at some rumors before knowingthat they were false), thing I won't do here because it wouldn't be fair for the comm^^;;;
For Yuuri and Wolfram: (pasted almost entirely from my lj)
Their only scene touched me a lot, first because Yuuri without words, recognized Wolfram from his scent...his scent, he didn't need his voice to know who was the person there...as long as he feels his scent he knows it's Wolfram...even if well, it was the most unthinkable option since Yuuri didn't know that Wolfram was coming there and he definitely expected anyone but him.
Then the fact he remembered his scent..it made me feel warm inside and touched me a lot.
And then I loved the way he embraced Wolfram and gently kneeled on the ground with him...it made me think to someone who holds something precious and is afraid to break it.
Well, in this case Wolfram is really hurt but, then I liked and it touched me the choosing of the words for this part.
It was simply something I could picture in my mind, Yuuri kneeling on the ground with a hurt Wolfram in his arms..it was this bittersweet feeling thinking that Wolfram travelled all over the world AGAIN to find Yuuri and in the end when they finally meet again a misunderstanding (very suspicious) made them first fight each other and then, see them remaining there with Wolfram who's probably more happy to have found Yuuri than worried of his own condition and Yuuri who has him in his arms kneeling on the ground and blaming himself.
It's too bittersweet...how I hate Takabayashi sensei for leaving us hanging in this way.
(honestly, if KKM was BL this would have been the climax of the two lovers scene, you know, like in those books or movies where the lovers found each other again after a long time and are at the same time separated by a cruel joke of fate..but then KKM is not BL^^;)
And that's all..

P.S. Doujinshi scans are on their way.
