I think I want to try translating the whole volume 16. I'm going to do it in a very slow pace though since I'm also still waiting for even more reliable scanlations of the series. It is now up to volume 13, right? It won't be long now^^
(updated 17-01-12)I'm a really slow fanwhoopsbut the people at shiho_s_diamond are doing the scanlations and they've finished scanlating up to vol 13^^ So if anyone wants to download and read them, just head over there and become a member.
That said, I will take down my crappy translations as soon as I see that they've scanlated vol 16. Before that, I guess I'll continue to have fun with this (Plus, it's a learning experience).
I'm just doing this for fun and my translations are really bad because I've seriously never gotten proper Japanese language lessons so anyone who's a fan of Silver Diamond and somehow stumbled upon this post, don't trust my translation 100%. Not even 70%, okay?
As before, I'll leave the Japanese text in case anyone who can understand it better will be able to help me correct it ^^ I honestly want to understand it as well.

皇子: ...金隷 あの者たちも「仲間」か
金隷: え? -
I originally went for 'companions' rather than 'comrades' but when I thought about other action/adventure anime series, I just kind of...
The part in black that I didn't translate (idk why) is 「波」 which means waves

皇子: 許さないからな...!
金隷: ああ それでずっと....
金隷: 案外 可愛い事を言いますね
皇子: 何!?
金隷: あれは「仲間」ですよ 皇子
The moment I saw the word 'kawaii' I just kind of had to give a moment to myself to giggle in a creepy fangirl-ish way because I thought the prince saying those kind of childish things (though it's pretty normal) is kind of adorable.
The workings of a fangirl's mind. It's hard to understand

金隷: あなたと私のための
金隷: .....私にとって あなたと同じものは
金隷: あなた以外にありませんよ 皇子
金隷: 嘘をついてますか 私は
皇子: ...じゃあそれならもういい!
金隷: はい
皇子: 私のみを大事にしろよ
金隷: はいはい
皇子: 二度!?
金隷: さ どうぞ中ヘ
Ugh this was killer to translate. What are you trying to say, Kinrei?! I just kind of put it in a way that doesn't seem too awkward (I hope)

金隷: 大した知能は無い筈だが...
金隷: 沙芽の本能みたいなものか
I hope I got this much right. It was so confusing @A@ Saying something like 'the green has returned' feels weird though. Maybe I should have tried to word it better though I can't think of another way to put it

Sae is very polite and formal even to her brother so I had a lot of difficulty with her. I actually went through more than 3 forums discussing about formal sentences. It is, however, lost in translations. As you can see.
That's about it for now. I'll update this when I get the pages in between done. This post will probably contain half of this chapter

Heya~ :) Sandreen here. I stumbled over your site while I was looking for something. XD I'm also planning to scanlate volume 16, but since you're already scanlating it, do you want to collaborate with me? :)
I've also tried doing a rough translation of the volume, but I'm sure there are still a lot of grammar mistakes here and there since I have yet to look over it. XD If you want, we can collaborate on translating and editting the manga. :D
Uwah! I don't know if I'd be of much help other than editing since, as you can see from my translations above, I am lacking in many places.
But I would be very honoured to help in any way I can (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ
Haha~ ^^ Don't worry, I can't say my translations are 100% perfect either, as I'm still studying Japanese too. I think you have a fair grasp on it though. :) If you want, you can help me in proofreading my translations, as well as in editting. You have an LJ right? We can discuss more about it thru PM there. ^^
