The story was really entertaining and it is such a shame to be unable to read it beyond this point.<br />At any case, thank you so much for translating both this series and many, many, other stories; tons of people really appreciate it. <br />I truly hope to see you posting again soon.

I really liked this 'My Master'...Hey saya! <br /><br />I really liked this 'My Master' series. From yoru post I realised this must be quite a while ago, like, about two decades ago? I wonder if the author have seen his master again at this period of time... I also have a question! Is the author of My Master series still posting at this timing? And is it the same account/person posting this series of stories in the same thread?<br /><br />Interesting read as always! Even though I could understand some of the cultural stuff as you have translated and added the footnote, I really appreciate that you do this to the other readers who might not grasp the cultural significance behind it :)<br /><br />Recently I was reading Reddit r/nosleep which features supposed 'true' stories of people that are haunted/encounter scary stuff that made them can't sleep. It is really interesting, so give it a try if you have time. :)<br /><br />But more importantly, I would like you to read this thread about how this foreign exchange student played the one-man hide and seek with her host friend and used blood instead of their fingernails. Regardless of whether if it's true or not, I would like to ask if using blood in the ritual of putting it inside the doll would be really that different?<br /><br />http://as.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1gngjh/dont_play_hitori_kakurenbo_aka_one_man_hide_and/Serenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-26413325856803750932013-07-20T09:51:08.679+09:002013-07-20T09:51:08.679+09:00@NepNep: Thank you, dear. I've heard of this H...@NepNep: Thank you, dear. I've heard of this Hachiro Asano before, but it slipped my mind because I originally translated that "Shuho is a descendant of Hachiro Asano." The Asano you mention is still alive, so I thought he couldn't be the one that the narrator talks about. However, I looked at the original Japanese text again, and I thought maybe my translation was wrong. The narrator says that Shuho is Asano's "系列" which can simply mean Shuho is Asano's kin. I corrected the info in the footnote and the translation too. Thanks again for your help!<br /><br /><br />@A.J Tutanes: You don't know how delighted I am every time I receive a comment from you readers. Thank you for your support! :D<br /><br /><br />@Adorably Dead: Me too! I just love the master series. I've already started to translate the next episode. I hope I can show you one or two more episodes before the summer ends! :D<br /><br /><br />@Ai: The master series is certainly unique, and I agree that the master is a very attractive person in a weird way! :) The more I read these episode the more I become intrigued. Please wait for the next episode with expectation, because you won't be disappointed! :D <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, everyone!<3Saya_In_Underworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656628145147216545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-26159623279936973662013-07-20T07:58:41.491+09:002013-07-20T07:58:41.491+09:00Ah, finally!

It has more depth than the usual stories; I don't know whether it is because of the story or the writing style or both. Good job on translating it Saya-san, I know you're trying hard to translate it and make it enjoyable to read.<br /><br />I like how twisted the Master is, and somehow I find his excitement cute. Poor apprentice dragged along with his Master's bizarre antics. Maybe it runs in the family, seeing his equally twisted grandfather.

I always feel a deep satisfaction after I finished translating them. It's as the old saying goes, "the dearest child is always the most troublesome child." Apart from the hard-to-translate text, I had to search for appropriate pictures and numerous footnotes to go with it. The only things that motivate me to go to this length is the pure enjoyment I derive from it, and the feedback I get from you dear readers! <br /><br />There's someone on the net who put these stories in chronological order. He conjectures that the first time the narrator meets master is in the spring of 1997, and this episode "The Urn" happens in the autumn of the same year. <br />Master's disappearance apparently occurs in the autumn of 1999. We have lots more episodes between these years, so have no fear! :D<br /><br />The pleasure is mine, dear. I'm always happy to get comments from you! :D Thank you very much!<br /> <br /><br /><br />THANK YOU EVERYONE AGAIN, for your lovely comments! take care!Saya_In_Underworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656628145147216545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-75555486073300028562013-07-19T01:50:33.265+09:002013-07-19T01:50:33.265+09:00Yes!

These gem-of-a-story posts are always riveting to read! :) The ninth episode however seems to me as if the story of our dear Narrator is coming to an end... I don't know, i have this feeling particularly because of the fact that the death of the Master has now been officially confirmed by a 3rd party...And well, that kind of stuff always have "HINT" written all over them. Besides that, it is an intriguing yet highly disturbing fact that the Master seems to extract energy out of such dark beings as the cannibalised souls of the urn. Perhaps that will be the cause of his untimely demise, the dabbling with the evil forces...or just the part where he single-handedly pisses them off, like we have read in previous episodes! :P Nonetheless, a didn't expect any less from you, Saya chan, awesome post as always! ;)Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191842797452422059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-85310937175600804852013-07-18T21:48:32.849+09:002013-07-18T21:48:32.849+09:00My lovely series is back! thank you so much Miss S...My lovely series is back! thank you so much Miss Saya! hohoho<br /><br />man, starting from the wierd stair that goes down for about two stories buling is aleady scary, plus the 6 tatami size room with a big urn and its dark pretty sure, how come they could go up so fast :ptoyboxednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-72693711592221314382013-07-18T21:17:48.239+09:002013-07-18T21:17:48.239+09:00This story is simply amazing.Sorry for couldn'...This story is simply amazing.Sorry for couldn't come up with a clever or original comment.<br />Thank you so much for your posts Saya.Good bye and have a pleasant day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547202736144315763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424102700579341189.post-69567404679305048002013-07-18T12:09:49.588+09:002013-07-18T12:09:49.588+09:00My Master series is always interesting!
