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？ |
|
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！ ・・・！ |
| ヒュルルルル・・・ | ||
|
Ack?! Watch out!! | うおっ！？あぶねっ！！ |
| 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| ヒュルルルル・・・ | ||
| パシッ！ | ||
|
Yes!! | よっしゃあ！ |
|
Y-you caught it! | つ つかんだー！ |
|
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 |
|
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！？ |
(** REALLY need to revisit this line good lord)
