W. …おまえは 『西』 の魔物かい
...
omae wa "nishi" no mamono kai
...
You the demon of the "West"?
B. …「西」？
...
"nishi"?
...
"West"?
…西の魔物ならたった今
…nishi no mamono nara tattaima
… If that was the Demon of the West just
now
全部殺してきた

W. 趣味？…にしちゃつまんなそーだねェ
shumi? ... ni shicha tsumanna sou
da nee
This your kink? ... 'cause, if it is, damn, you look bored.
[Trying, not
very successfully, to convey that Wild is slurring or drawling every other word. If it's gonna take me two hours to translate a line, I want to
have fun with it. :-) ni shicha = ni shite wa, considering
that (it's your hobby); tsumanna = tsumarana(i) + sou da.]
B. …つまらないから。
...tsumaranai
kara.
...Cause
I am bored.
W. 『北』の方に、夜の名を持つきっつい美人がいるってさ
"kita" no hou ni, yoru no na wo motsu kittsui bijin ga
iru tte sa
Well,
up "north," they say there's a beautiful, in-tense type who goes by
the name of Night.
[kittsui = kitsui
(sound doubled for emphasis). And OMG, is Wild match-making?]
…行ってみたら？
… itte mitara?
...
How 'bout you go and see?
[Lit. If you go and see?]
B. フウン…北か
fuun... kita ka
Hn-nn...
north, is it
W. 急ぎなさんな、 闇のものの先は永いよ
isoginasanna, yami no mono no saki wa nagai yo
Don't
hurry on my account. For a creature of
darkness, the future is long.
[isoginasanna =
isogi nasaru na, more regularly (if it's a polite imperative) isogi
nasaranaide, please don't hurry? The informal na-imperative looks pretty funny
combined with the polite nasaru. I think
Wild is teasing Blood because it doesn't look like he's hurrying to go
anywhere. If he were any more lethargic,
he'd be in a coma.]
W. ……っと、 おまえの名は？
......
tto, omae no na wa?
......
say, your name?
['tto
= eto, the hesitation sound?]
B. …『返り血』《ブラッド》
...
"Kaerichi" (Blood)
[Blood gives his name in kanji
(blood-spatter) but it's glossed with the usual katakana reading, Buraddo.]
W. そーか…ああ、よかった
sou ka... aa, yokatta
That
so... ah, I'm glad
一瞬、 西の黒區《こくおう》に遭っちまったかと思ったよ。
isshun, nishi no "koku-ou" ni atchimatta ka to
omotta.
For
a moment there, I thought I'd met up with the "Black Lord" of the
west.
[atchimatta =
atte shimatta; both the verb itself and the shimatta ending indicate that
meeting up with the Black Lord would not have been a Good Thing.]
[As so often
with Sugiura, fun with kanji. 黒區 are the kanji for Kauzel's name, often glossed
"Kauzeru" (though not here; here they are glossed
"koku-ou"). "kokuou"
is normally spelled 国王 and means "king."
That's appropriate, since Sugiura has said that she meant Kauzeru to be
read as "Kaiser (Caesar)," and Caesar was a family name that came to
mean emperor or lord (hence Kaiser, Tsar, etc.). However, the kanji spell "Black
Ward." The second kanji is a rare,
old form of 区,
"ward," pronounced ku or ou. I
suspect that the combination of the unfamiliar kanji and the furigana (koku-ou)
would naturally lead someone to read this as "Black King." Pretty cool!]
B. …黒區《カウゼル》？
...
Kauzel?
[Blood echoes the same kanji for Kauzel's
name back to Wild, but with the normal katakana pronunciation.]
…フン、 腕が足りんわ
...
fun, ude ga tarin wa
...
huh, not so tough after all.
[Argh! contractions!
I'm reading this as "tarinai wa." If I'm reading it right, there's a pun here. ude = (1) arms (2)
skill; "his skill isn't/wasn't sufficient" is the surface meaning,
but the second meaning could be "he doesn't have enough arms." Of course, if you've read through Vol. 24,
you know why it's significant that throughout the story, the originally
six-armed Kauzel is missing one arm that we can't account for. ^-^]

B. あんたは、何処の
anta wa, doko no
Where
you from?
W. ヒミツ
hi-mi-tsu
That's
a secret!
[Sadly, my keyboard lacks symbols for the
smirk marks floating all over this speech bubble.]
魔物は嫌なんだよねえ
mamono wa iya na n da yo nee
You're
an unpleasant sort of demon, aren't you.
変なナワバリ意識あるから…
hen na "nawabari" ishiki aru kara
There's
a strange sense of "turf," so...
B. ―――ああ、 『東』のか
―――aa,
"higashi" no ka
――― Ah, from
the east?
W. …あら？ なんでわかった？
...
ara? nande wakatta?
...
Eh? How'd you know?
B. 東にのぼる陽の光に
higashi ni noboru hi no hikari ni
In
the rays of the sun that rises in the east
焼かれて随分痛そうだ
yakarete zuibun itasou da.
You're
baked -- it looks quite painful.
W. …俺も殺すの？
...
ore mo korosu no?
...
You gonna kill me too?
B. …面倒臭い
...
mendoukusai
...
Too much trouble.
&&&&&
page 4
W. …ああそう…
... ah, sou…
… Ah, is
that so…
…でも おまえさんが 「北」に行ったら
… demo, omae-san ga, “kita” ni ittara
… but, pal, if you go to the “north”
[omae-san = according to Kenkyusha Online,
normally used toward a subordinate you know very well, so very patronizing
coming from Wild here.]
俺は「敵」に なっちゃうねえ…
ore wa “teki” ni natchau nee…
I’ll have to
become your “enemy,” won’t I…
[ni natchau = ni
natte shimau, indicates finality with a touch of regret]
[Back in the present, Blood runs off to
save Ishuca. Not sure who is thinking in
these two lines – presumably Blood, who appears in the frame? I don’t understand what he’s saying.]
―――別にそんな事

Ah! (found it!) The bridge (he mentioned), that’s it –
まん中辺で 待ってれば ブラッド 来ればすぐ わかるよなー
mannaka hen de mattereba Buraddo kureba sugu wakaru yo na –
If I wait right in the middle, if Blood
comes, I’ll know right away –
あ、この下って 川じゃないんだ

Ah, below this, there’s no stream
（ながめ いーなー）{高いトコ好き} （わい）

(Mmm, the view is nice) {arrow pointing to Ishuca:
likes tall places} (Ooh!)
(遠くの山がみえるー) （わー）

(I can see a mountain in the distance—) (Neat!)
……ブラッド 早く帰って こないかなあ…

page 6
……あまり 考えないようにしてるのに
…… amari kangaenai you ni

…… Although I’m trying not to think about
it much
どうしてなのか 解らない事ばかりで
doushite na no ka wakaranai koto bakari de
It’s just that I don’t understand why, and
ふとした瞬間に すごい力で引き戻される
futoshita shunkan ni sugoi chikara de hikimodosareru
suddenly in a moment with amazing force it is brought back
どうして 俺こんなに 寺院の人に 捜されなきゃ いけないんだろ
doushite ore konna ni ji’in no hito ni sagasarenakya ikenai n daro
why should I be hunted like this by the priests
[nakya ikenai =
nakute wa ikenai = “must -te”]
ブラッド 何か判ったの かなぁ…
Buraddo nanika wakatta no ka naa…
Did Blood know something, I wonder…
俺も ついて行けば よかったなー （なー）
ore mo tsuite ikeba yokatta na— (na—)
I should have followed him –
…って 俺が捜されてるんだから ついてっちゃ ダメじゃん
… tte ore ga
sagasareteru n da kara tsuitetcha dame jan
… ah, but because
I’m the one being hunted, following is no good, I guess
[tsuitetcha =
tsuite itte wa; taking tte at beginning as “to ieba = when I say that, now that
I think of it”]
――ああ オレって
--- aa ore tte
--- ah, look at
me…
[Lit. “speaking of me”]
最近 ブラッドいないと すーぐ弱気に なるよなあ…
saikin Buraddo inai to su-gu yowaki ni naru yo naa…
Recently, I become faint-hearted the
second Blood’s not with me…
[Lit. Recently, when Blood’s not there, I become faint-hearted right
away – sugu is drawn out for emphasis]
あまり頼りすぎちゃ いけないよなー やっぱり （いかんいかん）
amari tayori sugicha ikenai yo na— yappari (ikan, ikan)
I mustn’t depend on him too much – after
all (won’t do, won’t do)
[-sugicha ikenai = (-sugi)te wa ikenai = must not -te]
[ikan = ikanai =
naranai, it won’t do? or ikan, “regrettable”?
I think it translates the same either way.]
……大体
…… daitai
…… For the most part
一人暮らし してたんだから一人は 平気なハズなんだからさ
hitorigurashi shiteta n da kara hitori wa heiki na hazu na n da kara sa
because I’ve led a solitary life, for that reason, I ought to be fine
alone.
―――嘘は全部 自分に跳ね 帰ってくるよ
----- uso wa
zenbu jibun ni hane kaette kuru yo
----- All lies come back to haunt you, you
know. [flashback to Wild giving Ishuca “advice”]
[Lit. As for lies, all rebound on the self.]
[hanekaeru would normally be spelled跳ね返える, not跳ね帰える. Possibly this isn’t
significant, since the two kanji spellings of kaeru are pretty much exact
synonyms. But the unusual spelling,
combined with the fact that there’s a line break between hane and kaette, might
be intended to force the reader to break down the compound: not “rebound,” but literally “hane kaeru =
splashes return.” Which seems like a
pretty pointed reference to Blood’s name, Kaerichi (返り血, the blood which splashes back on the one shedding it). Am I reading wayyy too much into this? ^-^]
&&&&&
page 7
…ウソじゃ ないよ
… “uso” ja nai yo
… It’s NOT a lie
平気だよ
heiki da yo
I am fine.
おまえは どのくらい 生きるん だろうねェ
omae wa donokurai ikiru n darou nee
I wonder how long you’ll live… [Wild in
flashback again]
そんなの 知らない けど わかんないから 別に いいよ
sonna no shiranai kedo wakannai kara betsuni ii yo
I don’t know that… but… I don’t know, so
it’s perfectly OK.
――今は 考えたくないよ

exchange is Ishuca thinking]
｢褐色の肌の｣
“kasshoku no hada

“brown-skinned

Ah,

So

“buji”?
“Safe”?

toward him – he obviously doesn’t feel safe.]

bleeding. Something just blew past
them…]

「金色の髪」
“kin’iro no kami”
“golden hair” [Amashi remembering the description given to
him by the villagers.]
「おそろしい程 美しい」
“osoroshii hodo

“terribly
beautiful”
[Lit. so beautiful that he’s terrible]
…おまえはッ…！！
… omae wa—...!!
… you—…!!
魔性の瞳
mashou no mono
devil-creature
[Amashi’s
thoughts, obviously. The kanji spell out “eye of devilishness
(mashou no hitomi)” (and the frame above focuses in on Blood’s menacing eye as
he swoops in and takes Ishuca – check it out, it’s a slow-motion closeup of the
image on the previous pages!), but furigana read mono = person or thing. I’m taking this to mean simultaneously
“devilish eyes” and “devilish creature.”]

behind him.]
Blood!?
&&&&&

…
Blood!!
…殺しちゃ だめ！！

taking –ta hazu as “was supposed to be” and “dewa nai” as asking for
confirmation.]

… tsumarane niku no katamari na do
… lumps of insignificant flesh and all
おまえ達に くれてやるさ
omae tachi ni kurete yaru sa
I guess I’ll
serve you.
[Taking “kurete yaru = I will do things
for you” and “sa = I’ve come to the conclusion that.” It seemed to make better sense to take “(you)
lumps of boring flesh” as a term of address, rather than as a direct object
(I’ll give you lumps of boring meat, etc??... Hello, my name is Kauzel, I’ll be
your waiter from hell tonight… OK, I have officially been working on this too
long.)]

And yes, that is the same word as for a pencil board. *snort*]
… Blood……?
…どうしたの あんな……
…
doushita no anna…
…
What was that, back there……
[doushita is
usually “what’s wrong” or “what happened,” so I think Ishuca’s asking why Blood
just blew in out of nowhere, destroyed the bridge and ran off with him. Not sure though. You’d think he’d be more grateful to be
rescued!]
…落ち着いた？
…
Have you calmed down?
[Is it just me, or is this a stupider
question than usual for Ishuca to be asking?
Blood just stares at him, deadpan.]

bloodstained face, his staff in his left.
Could have been translated “with these hands” or “with my own hands,”

something much more obscene, relating to excretory functions. If you’re really bored and
have a subscription to the Kenkyusha Online Dictionary, try searching this
term… oh my. I’ve never even SEEN some
of those words.]

気配が いつもと 違うような…
kehai ga itsumo to chigau you na…
Something seems off…
[Lit. “It seems like the signs are different from usual.” I’m really stuck on translating kehai, lit. “sign, indication.” It
seems to be used for anything that communicates a sense of something – a
consciousness that something is present, is changing, will happen. Usually it would be modified with a verb or a
“no,” explaining what the sign is of, but not in this case.]
R. ヴィルト …そこに いますか？

Um…
… Would you be kind enough to go call Ishuca-san?
[itadakemasen = can
I not receive as a favor, humble-polite form (more marked than the
neutral-polite moraemasen, which is already pretty darn formal). If excess politeness is a sign of
embarrassment or discomfort, R. is reeealllly uncomfortable throughout this
exchange.]

When
Ishuca-san comes back
…この部屋に 寄ってもらう様 言って貰えませんか…？
…
kono heya ni yotte morau you itte moraemasen ka…?
…
could you possibly ask if he’d be so kind as to stop
by this room…?
[Lit: “When Ishuca-san returns (honorific-polite
form irassharu instead of kuru), can I not receive that you speak to him in
order that I might receive the favor of him visiting this room.” The level of politeness
throughout this sentence is so ridiculously high, I’m
having a really hard time translating it properly…]
W. え… ああ…
Eh…

Please.
W. ……………ラプンツエル？

“what’s the matter?”; otherwise, douka + imperative/request = please]
どこか… 具合でも 悪いのか？
dokoka… guai de mo warui no

Are you…
sick or something?
[dokoka guai ga warui = something is the matter (with a
person or TV set, e.g.), lit. = “somewhere the condition is bad” – refers to
being ill or broken]

an immediate or instinctive response to an unexpected occurrence.]
