(Chronologically takes place after Roku's Lapistoria Travel Log.)

Episode 1: Ceremonial Shoot (奉射会)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
...huh? Mr. Roku? ・・・あれ?六さん?
Well, if it isn't Yuzuru. What's new? よう 弓弦じゃねぇか
どうしたんだ?
There's a ceremony at the local shrine today. * 今日は神社で
奉射会があるんです
A ceremony, huh... へぇ 奉射会ねぇ・・・

Right! I just thought of something good! そうだ!いいこと思いついたぜ!
Oh? What is it? え なんでしょう?
(Roku moves towards Yuzuru.)
First things first, let's get to the shrine. I'll go with you, 'kay? とりあえず神社まで
一緒に行こうか
O-okay...? は・・・はい・・・

(* The specific word Yuzuru uses, 奉射会 (houshakai? I wish Lapistoria had furigana so bad...), is apparently a word that doesn't see a lot of use even among native Japanese speakers. Research on what this means has been very difficult as a result. However, kyudo does see use in religious ceremonies, so he's likely referring to something like that. It's been interesting reading up, but I can't provide much more in context...)

Episode 2: Roku's Idea (六のアイデア)

ENGLISH JAPANESE

Um... what was that good something you thought of...? あの・・・いいことと言うのは・・・?
Don't be too shocked when you hear it. You'll be shooting arrows, right? Then I'll cut them in half with my sword. 聞いて驚くな
お前が矢を射るだろ?
それを俺が居合で
一刀両断するわけよ
Whaddya think? Everyone who comes to see the ceremony will be so impressed with us that we'll get some coin! するとどうだい
奉射会を見に来たお客さんから
おひねりが飛んでくる ってわけよ
Th-that's kind of... Cutting my arrows is a bit much... そ・・・それはちょっと・・・
矢を斬るのはさすがに・・・
Is that so? Then instead of cutting them, I can catch them with my bare hands... そうなのか?
じゃあ斬るのはやめて
素手でつかむってのは・・・

Catching them?! But what if you get hurt...? つかむ!?
六さんに怪我でもさせたら・・・
We can always use whistling arrows, yeah? じゃあ鏑矢使うか
It should be possible with those... but unfortunately, I don't have any on hand... 鏑矢ならまだ・・・
でも あいにく持ちあわせが・・・
Don't worry. I've got a bunch of 'em. 大丈夫だ 俺が持ってるぜ
Why did you have them to begin with... なんで持ってるんですか

Episode 3: Practice Begins (練習開始)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
Why are you doing this, exactly...? 一体何故 こんなことを・・・
Weeell, I saw a nice-looking brush for sale the other day... いやぁ この前いい感じの
筆を見かけてよ〜
Trying to make money at a shooting ceremony... You'll anger the gods doing that! 奉射会でお金を撃ぐなんて・・・
バチが当たりますよ!
Don't worry so much! Y'know how they also put plays on at shrines and pay the performers for it? We're doing the same thing here. いやいや
芝居なんかも神社でやって
おひねりもらったりしてるだろ?
あれと同じだから
I suppose... そうでしょうか・・・
Let's just give it a shot. I'll even make some calligraphy for you when we're done! とりあえずやってみようぜ
終わったら俺の書をやるからよ
Hrm... I suppose I have no other choice... う〜ん・・・ならば仕方がない・・・

Episode 4: Full of Dangers (危険がいっぱい)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
Here I go!
...!
行きますよ!
・・・!
*fweeeeeeeew...*
ヒュルルルル・・・

Ack?! Watch out!! うおっ!?あぶねっ!!
*thump!*
ドゴッ
Oh no! A-are you okay?! しまった!
だ 大丈夫ですか!
What're you doing?! That thing almost punched a hole in my stomach!! なにすんだよー!
腹に穴開くとこだったぞー!
Whistling arrows are harder to handle because their heads are heavier than usual. Besides, with your reflexes, you'll be fine, Mr. Roku. 鏑矢は重さがあるので
難しいんです
それに六さんなら
大丈夫ですよ
You're kinda scary, kid... Whatever, just try it one more time! なんかお前・・・怖いな
とりあえずもう1回頼む!
Right! This time...! よし!今度こそ・・・!

Final Episode: Full of Dangers (危険がいっぱい)

ENGLISH JAPANESE
*fweeeeeeeew...*
ヒュルルルル・・・
*clap!*
パシッ!

Yes!! よっしゃあ!

Y-you caught it! つ つかんだー!
(Roku and Yuzuru run towards each other.)
That was amazing, Mr. Roku! すごいですよ六さん!
See, I don't need a sword to put on a show! ** 伊達に居合抜きやってねーぜ!
If you'll excuse me, the ceremony will begin any time now! 僕はこれで失礼しますね
奉射会があるので
(Yuzuru leaves.)
Oh! Thanks a bunch! おう!サンキューな!
...wait, what about the plan to get coin?! ・・・って おひねり
もらう作戦はーっ!?
