"For You, A Thousand Times Over"

Do not smoke. 

forgive my hand writing..

[Seigi talking about how Richard and him are obviously from different worlds and how it doesn't matter.]

Even if the worlds we live in are different, even if our nationalities, income or race is different - by simply getting on an airplane you can go from Japan to England, and a man kissing a man isn't necessarily considered a crime.

I literally just loved this passage so much. It proved to me why I appreciate Nanako-sensei's work so much

[I forgot what Shaul said before this and I am too lazy to go back and look it up but uh. Remember that the novel's written in Seigi's POV.]

~ SPOILERS AHEAD ~

"Aware of what?"

"That you are in love with Richard."

Without warning, my chest felt like it had been violently opened.

No. No, no. No, no, this couldn't be. It couldn't. Just because you keep thinking of the same person every single day, just because you lose your breath and your heart begins to throb when you get a fleeting glance at their face, because you have a dream of them almost kissing you every night? No, that can't be.

I mean. It can't be. I mean. Just no.

I'm lost. I can't come up with any persuasive objection.

"You're making him out to be an existence as complete and beautiful as a crystal. Moreover, by saying 'He wouldn't do anything like that', you're projecting your own ideals onto him. How should one call this fever-dream-like condition? There is no other way to call it but 'love'."

"...I am not in love. It's not like that. [...]"

Kinda what happened in Episode 7 after the auction, it’s the chapter of the “Jade of Succession”.

Richard and Seigi are out eating together. Seigi’s worrying about Richard, a lot.

Seigi: Let’s say I won’t make any pudding or milk jelly from here on out and that I’ll keep mistaking the amount of sugar I should add to the royal milk tea, will you fire me then?

Richard: That’s the first time I hear such a lovable threat.

Seigi: I’m sorry. I’m just frantically trying to hold back my anger.

[particularfangirl]

I think this is part of the conversation they have in the car in Episode 6. (Not quite sure anymore, but it’s basically after their amazing appearance at that fake-jewelry shop) Note that ‘guessing’ here could also be something like ‘sympathize with’

Richard: People who deal with gem stones hold a great responsibility when telling their customers that ‘It’s real’. That’s because an expert is confirming the stone’s quality to an amateur. That sort of thing somehow resembles words of love between two lovers.

Seigi: …because it’s a question of mutual trust, huh?

Richard: Today you’re quite good at guessing these things.

Seigi: Are you saying that I’m normally a blockhead?

Richard: You’re really quite good at guessing.

Seigi: If anything strange happens, call me.

Richard: Why? If anything happens I'll just call the police.

Seigi: Uh, yeah, but...

I almost finished Volume 2 but let me share this last gem with you

After Richard finished eating Seigi’s pudding and thanked him for it:

Seigi: For a moment there, didn’t it feel like we’re a married couple?

Richard: That’s a salary cut.

[particularfangirl]

They should have given us this conversation in the anime. It's the story with Seigi's senpai, when Richard comes to pick him up.

Seigi: This is awful. It's worse than your typical melodrama. While the heroine's crying in the streets at night, a dashing good-looking guy comes to her rescue and the theme song starts playing. Are there any cameras in here?

Richard: Should I take you to a night hospital's ophthalmologist? Which part of you is a heroine?

[particularfangirl]

So for some reason Richard answers Seigi's texts at around three am? Does that man ever sleep? (Vol 2, Chapter 4)

[particularfangirl]

Context: Richard and Seigi go to watch a ballet performance. In front of the ticket counter:

Seigi: Check.

Richard: Huh? My clothes fit the dress code. Is there a problem related to my clothes, my hair or any dirt?

Seigi: No, no problem. The most beautiful man of the world is standing in front of me, as always.

[Guys. This is gay but it gets worse.]

"The lady behind the counter made an awful choking sound. Maybe she caught a cold? If we still had any caramels left, I'd have given her one."

[particularfangirl]

I live for Richard's sarcastic replies.

Seigi (showing him a photo): Can't you explain this to me?

Richard: Have you heard of digital search engines?

Bonus:

Seigi: I'm begging you! I am just really not good at western languages. I'll treat you to the drinks, so please...

Richard: Who is the person who smiled while they told me they'd remembered my complete name?

Seigi: That's not a 'western language' that's 'your name', right? And I can manage to remember the name of a special person.

Bonus :3

this anime, this entire story, the novels, everything about this is SO PURE

[seeingteacupsindragons]

This week on Jeweler Richard: Gay marriage is the most valid marriage and white supremacists deserve to be robbed.

I LIKE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.

[seeingteacupsindragons]

Drinking game, take a shot every time Seigi comments on how pretty Richard is

JK don’t do that, livers are important.

Rough translation of the novel version of this scene(because I really like protective Seigi)

I looked straight into Shin’s eyes, who was so angry you could see the veins on his forehead. Compared to a Dojo instructor, he wasn’t scary at all. But that’s probably because I had a much scarier expression on me.

“I apologise. I really, really have no idea what’s going on, but I’m very sorry.”

“This has nothing to do with you, back off.”

“You talk a lot.”

I took a step forward and grabbed his arm. It wasn’t so hard that he couldn’t shake me off if he really tried, but he probably wouldn’t do that. It wouldn’t look good for him.

“Stop giving my boss a hard time. He is the nicest guy I know in the world. I don’t care if he brings in misfortune or whatever else you say. Even the name that you mentioned, I don’t care about that. I like it when he handles jewelry, so if you ever get in the way of his work again, I’ll get angry. It’s best if you go home and eat something sweet.

“You’re so enticed by him, you’re a fool losing your head to him without knowing how poisonous he is!”

“I don’t really get it, so here.”

I took out a milk tea-flavoured candy from my pocket and held it out to him. He glared at me, and tossed the candy onto the floor as he walked out the hall.
