Chinmei speaks in Kansai-ben slang... very heavy Kansai-ben, worse than Tora... so sometimes I just had to guess as to what he was walking about! And when Hotaru says stuff is in Chinese... >_< It isn't really, but it's so hard it *could* be Chinese... Why can't everybody talk normally, like Yukimura?! Ahaha... so I don't understand 100% of the papers they find in Hishigi's lab... Page 1 Spade: I am waiting for Youtou Muramasa... the "Hokuto Shichisei". (constellation) Ruru: Oooh? Spade? Is that what you're doing in a place like this? Ruru: Does this mean Tokito got beaten?! Spade: Yes, Ruru, Tokito's job is finished. I must return to my master. Ruru: Are you going back to Fubuki's place? Fubuki is really scary, even to me and my friends! Ruru: And Spade, Tokito is counting on you! She'll be scared! Spade: Ruru... I'm not Spade. Ruru: Huh?! Spade: Spade has been dead for a long time... I'm the Joker. Spade Out of all the cards, I like the Joker best... Spade: That's right... It's me... Page 2 Chinmei: Chinmei, "The Joker"!!!! Ruru: Ch... Chinmei~?! Ruru: But why did you pretend to be Spade?! Chinmei: Hohoho, that's the question! You know, I forgot! But for you, I'll do a special trick! (I can't read the small text here at all, it's too blurry and tiny) Ruru: Yay! Do it again!! Chinmei: Fubuki might be smart, but I tricked him... my true master is evil itself~! Chinmei: I've got to look out for myself... but... with a guy like Fubuki around, I'll look out for you too. Chinmei: Right, Master? Aka-chan: "Evil itself?" That isn't good for my image... and what's this about looking out for me? Page 3 Aka-chan: I'm hardly evil... I'm just willing to do whatever I have to in order to protect the Mibu Clan as their former Aka no Ou... right~? Text: For the first time, we see what the former Aka no Ou has been hiding... his true face!! Ruru: Former Aka no Ou...? Chinmei: Confucius was quoted to have said: Chinmei: "The virtuous man will not stand alone; he shall always have comrades" (written in Chinese) Chinmei: That means that if you have good intentions, and are nice to others, you'll have lots of friends... as long as you keep that in mind, you'll be very popular! Chinmei: ...Isn't that right? Page 4 Chinmei: Kyoushirou...? Kyoushirou: ...Yes Aka-chan: A splendind interpretation of the classics, Chinmei. I'm impressed... It follows that such virtue also exists within me. Aka-chan: ...Toujou Muramasa... the "Hokuto Shichisei"... This is a fine sword... I can detect his scent on it. Aka-chan: But... I don't really need this. Kyoushirou: ... Ruru: "Ho... Hokuto Shichisei...?!" Chinmei, was that a magic trick? Chinmei: Nooo, that wasn't magic... He really did destroy it! What a scary guy! Chimei: But... Page 5 Chinmei: Toujou Muramasa couldn't do it... Chinmei: It's said that the door which hides the Mibu Clan's greatest secret can only be opened by he who bears the name of "Aka no Ou"... Aka-chan: When that "Shiina Nozomu" that I met long ago died, the seal on this door was broken... Aka-chan: ...Another obstacle. Aka-chan: Now only there is only one remaining soul who knows the Mibu Clan's greatest secret... who knows the future of the Mibu... Kyoushirou: ... Aka-chan: Well now... shall we reveal it? Chinmei: What?! Ruru: Huh? Where's he going? Aka-chan: To obtain our new future... we must reset our past... Kyoushirou: ... Page 6 Jurian: Next stop... Hishigi's fortress! Akari: Akari-tan is sick of this place~! Sasuke: Hey, Yuan - what kind of guy is this Hishigi? Yuan: Huh?! Well... let's see... Yuan: In a word... I'd call him... "Doctor!" Shinrei ...wtf? Sasuke: How the hell do you see that? Yuan: You asked, and I told you! Jurian: Hey, I think I get it! Hotaru: Yeah, "Doctor" sounds about right. Shinrei: HOW?! Yuan: ...Well, as far as I know... (Note: I can't read much of the small print on this page) Page 7 Yuan: He's smart... like, freaky smart. Personality-wise, though, I dunno. Yuan: Out of all of his colleauges, he the only one who hasn't taken an apprentice. He spends all of his free time in the lab, doing science-y stuff. Research, ya know. Sasuke: Research... Like, the plan to restore the Mibu? The power of the gods and all? Yuan: ...Yeah, probably. Sasuke: Hmm... Tell me everything you know about this guy and his plans. Yuan: It ain't that easy... Sasuke: Huh? Yuan: Just because we've both faced death and kicked its ass doesn't mean I know how he's going to fight. Sasuke: Does this mean... he has more than the technique of turning people to stone?! Yuan: What I do know is that he's got such a badass skill that they call him "The Excecutioner"... Yuan: ...And it's not just a rumor that he's one of the strongest guys around right now. (I could still take him) Page 8 Sasuke: Ah... Hotaru: So this nerdy doctor guy is so great? Yuan: Um... well, how should I know what people think of him? Yuan: I mean, either way, we're going up against the unknown Akari: ... Kyo: ... Jurian: And here we are... Sasuke: This time, can we try not to to jump so carelessly? (can't read all of his small text) Hotaru: But I like to close my eyes... Shinrei: Dumbass... Everybody: One! Everybody: Two! Everybody: Three! Page 9 No text Page 10 Everybody: ...Huh? Everybody: I guess nobody's home...? Shinrei: Idiots! Yuan: Maybe he's still here... (Maybe he's sneaking up on us?) Jurian: Maybe he's taking a piss? Jurian: Guess he wasn't ready for us! Sasuke: The Mibu's creations... Sasuke: Fuck...!! Sasuke: You were all just sacrifices... So this is the great Mibu plan... Hotaru: So this is "The Doctor's" room? Page 11 Paper: "An Inquiry into the Similarities of Crimson Disease Manifestation in the Current Generation and the Mutations" Paper: Chapter 1: Present state of Crimson Disease in the Current Generation Chapter 2: Changes in Survival Statistics of the Mutations Chapter 3: Proposed Improvements for Future Mutant Generations Hotaru: ...It's in Chinese. (So many characters!) Shinrei That's Japanese, you idiot!! Hotaru: I guess he must be pretty smart if he uses such big words... Yuan: Or he uses big words to sound smart? Shinrei: "Disease Manifestation in the Current Generation..." that means it's something genetic, right...?! Yuan: What?! Hotaru: Shinrei, you read Chinese?! Kyo: ... Shinrei: Basically... Shinrei (I told you it was Japanese, idiot!!) Shinrei: This is saying that the previous Mibu generation, like Yuan and Keikoku, and the new generation of mutants, like Sarutobi Sasuke, appear to show the same features. Yuan: ...What? So all of the creatures created by the Mibu have the same weakness? Sasuke: H... hey!! Let me see that...!! Page 12-13 Sasuke: What the...?! Akari: What... what's this...?! Shinrei: All of them... Shinrei: [All of them...] Shinrei: [Have red eyes?!] Page 14 Yuya: There, much better!! Yuya: Thanks for lending me a kimono and shoes! I didn't bring anything with me... Sakuya: Are you sure you're alright? Have you recovered from that wound Nobunaga gave you? Yuya: Never been better! The beautiful bounty hunter is back! Sakuya: So... you're really going, then? Yuya: Well... I bet everybody is worried about me... Yuya: And even though there are a lot of things I'd like to ask you about the future, I won't. Sakuya: What...?! Yuya: Like... when I'm going to get married, and how much reward money I'm going to get... that kind of thing... Sakuya: ...Ah Yuya: And what's going to happen to me and Kyo and everybody... and what's going to become of the Mibu Clan... you know... Sakuya: Yuya-san... Yuya: But I'm not going to ask. Page 15 Yuya: You and me, Sakuya, we're going to live like our lives are on the line!! Yuya: Forget the past and the future - the most important thing is right now!! Sakuya: Yuya-san... Sakuya: Yuya-san... Please... tell Kyoushirou... Sakuya: That I would have liked to go see wild sakura with him again. Yuya: ...Huh?! Sakuya: Please... I don't have much time... Please do this for me. SFZ: SLAM! Yuya: ?! Aka-chan: Ow... Aka-chan: Oh... that hurt... Aka-chan: Who put this pillar here...? Page 16 Aka-chan: Oh darn... I totally ruined my entrance... Yuya: ...Who is this? (What a loser...) Sakuya: That... is the previous Aka no Ou... Yuya: WHAT?! Yuya: [THAT'S the Aka no Ou?! That four-eyed freak?!] Yuya: A guy like that is chief of the Mibu Clan?! Yuya: [If this is true... then that's the guy who used to take care of Kyo...] Yuya: [He doesn't *look* like a heartless killer... Maybe this is some kind of trick...] Sakuya: Y... Yuya-san... Sakuya: Run... Sakuya: Run away, please! Quickly...!! Yuya: ...Huh?! Page 17 Aka-chan: Sakuya-san, I've been waiting for you... it's been a while, so I came to get you. Aka-chan: ...Shall we go? Sakuya: N... Sakuya: No... Yuya: Hey... Wait a minute!! Yuya: Stop it! Sakuya-san doesn't want to go with you! Sakuya: Yuya-san, no...!! Yuya: ...Huh? Page 18-19 Yuya: [What...?] Yuya: [What is this...?] Yuya: [Something... something behind me...] Yuya: [It's... it's...] Yuya: [It's him...] Yuya: [It's him!!] Page 20 Yuya: Ah... Yuya: [I'm scared...] Yuya: No... Yuya: Stop... Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: Ah... Yuya: [I'm scared] Aka-chan: Are you alright~? Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared] Yuya: [I'm scared...] Yuya: [I'm scared... Kyo... Help me...!!] Page 21 Yukimura: Frightening women and kids... isn't that kind of low? Yukimura: Why don't you have a drink to calm yourself down? Or if not... then you can try picking on me instead. Yuya: Y... Yuya: Yukimura-san...!! Text: In the women's time of need, the brilliant tactician Sanada Yukimura appears!!
