CHAPTER 14 - The Emblem of Tragedy>Hey!>What are these?!>Don't fool around with us!>Do you think that's enough for today's compensation?!>Eh...>Are you saying that you aren't satisfied?>Naturally! We aren't satisfied at all! Take a good look at these wounds!>Didn't you say we just had to act a little violently on stage? We didn't imagine a thing like that!
>The damned guy stuck a pipe up my backside!>Look! It hurts every time I go to the toilet!>Eh...>So what do you want me to do about it?>Eh eh eh...that magnificent body of yours will suffice...>...comfort us for a bit!>Eh eh eh...>You want me to console you?
>Oh?!>I agree!>I know very well that all men fall in love with me at first sight...>I will console you so!>Oooohh!>Oh, be quick! Now touch me!>Yo-you're so good!>Oh-oooh!
>But it's obvious...I am Hotaru, the black widow...>Black widow?!>All men die when they come close to me...>Mh?!>My body cannot be touched by dirty, disgusting men like you!>Ah?!>Aah!
>>268320299a warrior in every lifetime.
>Iiih!>Aaah!>Ih!>Aaah!>Urgh!>Iiih!>Aaah!>You shouldn't underestimate me just because I'm a woman!
[The red light district of Kanazawa city...not even tonight does Keiji return to his home...he wants to have fun in this place of pleasure...]
>Eh...it seems like he's sleeping...>Don't make mistakes, Hotaru! His instinct is equal to that of a wild animal!>Do not worry, Lord Shume!>The wilder the animal, the more vulnerable it is with women!>Lord...Hotaru was a ninja of the Takeda family...>Can we trust a ninja of another village?>Eh eh...originally she was not a ninja, she belonged to the samurai caste!>Hunh?!
>You...>...don't know the significance of the mark in the shape of Mount Fuji with a cloud imprinted on her back, right?[It was during the battle of Nagashino. In the Takeda family there was a young and courageous warrior called Himuro Nobunari. The Takeda family allowed him to inherit the coat of arms of Mount Fuji with a cloud, before Takeda Shingen.][He was allowed to wear one of the four symbols that form the Takeda family emblem...][It was not difficult to imagine how talented he was...][...despite this, he fell in battle clashing against Keiji!]
[Hotaru was this man's fiancée!][She was only fourteen years old...][Nobody imagined that the Takeda family could have lost that battle! So it's obvious that a little girl of fourteen years that lost her house and fiancée, who she loved so much, felt hatred towards Keiji...]
>Sir Nobunari...>One day I will avenge your death!
>Aaaaah![Even Hotaru's family was annihilated during the same war. Since then the young girl trained to take revenge by becoming a kunoichi.]Translator's Note #12 - A kunoichi is a female ninja.>But she's a woman full of sins...>That's what it takes! We will take advantage of a moment of distraction from Keiji while he makes love to Hotaru...>...and we will kill him together with that woman, surprising him from below!>Eh?!>Ih...>...ih ih ih!>When those two will be found naked, one on top of the other, everyone will think that they killed each other in a lovers' quarrel!>If they investigate the woman's identity, they will discover the cause of her desire for revenge, and nobody will suspect us!
>Mh...>Uh?!>Who are you?>I am Hotaru, you saved me earlier...>I came to thank you...
>Oh!>I didn't recognize you!>...>Oh...
>Uh!>Would you like to make love with me?>...>Eh eh eh...>Ah...>Ooh...
>A-ah...>...>Oh...ah...>Good, very good! This time I'll do it!>Oooh!>Uhm...>I can't do it!>Eh?>...>H-how come?!>...>Well...
>I have to say that mine...is large...>Eh?>My "thing" is exceptionally huge!>...>H-how big?>Ah!>S-so large...
>Yeah...so it's impossible...>I don't want to split you in two...>Y-yeah...>You're right...>I don't want to let such a beautiful woman die for this!>Urgh!
>Mh?!>Is someone down there?>Uh...>Uh...>Take this! Damn you!>Ah!
>Urgle!>...>Kill me! Come on, kill me!>Oh, this mouse also knows how to talk? Then I'm sorry to kill it...>Wh-what?!>For a mouse, we need a punishment for mice!>W-wait!>Ugh!>...>H-how come you lied to me?>You're a virgin, aren't you? I can't be your first...
>Hey!>Look at that! What is it?>Oh, he's completely nude!>Ah! There's something written on his stomach!>What? This is a mouse who bites the attributes of others, therefore it deserves punishment?>Keiji Maeda. Oh, how ridiculous!>Kil...>Kill...>...I will kill!>One day I will kill you!
We'll wrap up this volume and start volume 3 tomorrow.
>>268321112classy guy.
>>268321197Thank you for posting and translating.
C'mon!
>>268320564What a panel, jezus.
>>268321036Oof, right through the eye.
>>268320335>>268320412It is hard being an ugly bastard these days. No respect at all.
>>268320527Some men pay extra for this.
>>268320634Rocking those Enkidu vibes
>>268320675How do they mistranslate shoulder into back?
>>268320946>>268320972Nice
>>268321197Thanks bud.
have a bump
>>268320762Hardcore
>>268321197Thx mate.
>>268331487Arigato.
>>268320299Can't you just post the english version? Or it's not there at all?
>>268334582The latter, anon. He's translating it for the first time as he goes.
>>268329719Maybe the word spalla can refer to both.
>>268329719>>268338913Yes my apologies, I wasn't paying attention to the art in that panel. It's Hotaru's shoulder, not back. Spalla/spalle can mean shoulder or back, depending on the context. "Paese" is another word you see a lot in this manga, you can translate it into country or village depending on the context.
CHAPTER 15 - A Cut-throat Kunoichi>Yawn!>Mh?>What a nice smell!>How good that little boy is, preparing breakfast in the morning so quic...>Snore!>H-he's sleeping!>So who the hell...>Ah!
>Hello!>But...what are you doing here?!>As you can see...>I'm preparing breakfast! Oh, how spicy! But it's good!
>What?!>How about tasting some?>With this it warms you up well!>Uh!>It's grotesque...>Taste and you'll see!>A...alright!
>Uhm...>Uhm...>Oh! But...it's delicious!>Eh?!>I told you! Eh!>R-really?!>I'll taste some too!>Come on! Be calm! Get in line!>...>You're right! Phew!>Oh, how good!>Do you want to taste it too, Hotaru?>Pfui!
>Urgle!>Damned idiot!>Ahi! Ugh! Ooh! Yoh! Ihh! Urgh!>You made me look bad! How could you allow yourself be seen?![Yotsui Shume, the boss of the Kaga ninja troop which belongs to Toshiie Maeda, was put naked to the pillory. In this manner, Toshiie Maeda has completely lost face.]>Uh...>Urgh...>I...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...
>Grrr! Then Keiji is still mad at me about that affair...[In reality Keiji doesn't want to take revenge against him, but there is a reason why he hates Toshiie...we need to jump back to the twelfth year of the Eiroku period (1569)...]>I know that my brother Toshihisa Maeda has informed you of the fact that he adopted Keiji to entrust him to lead the family![Oda Nobunaga]>So what?>Th-they say that my brother is plotting a revolt against you by teaming up with Hayashi, military commander of the Sado region!>If Keiji were to become the family heir, one day he could rebel against you!
>What are you trying to say, Mataza?>Don't mince words.>My Lord! Allow me to inherit the Maeda family title, I beg you!>I promise you that the Maeda family will always be faithful!>Eh eh...very well, I allow you!>Mataza! You will inherit that title!>Yes Lord![This is the reason why Keiji's right to lead the Maeda family was usurped.]>Uhm...>I absolutely can't leave him alive...>Lord!>Tell me to kill him just one more time, please!
>Cretin! It's your ineptitude that worries me!>Uh...>S-so according to you we aren't capable of killing Keiji with the strength of my troop of Kaga ninja?>Do you think so?>Hey, people! Come! Come and see!>It's the yayako dance, it's very popular in Kyoto!>...>Hey, boy! Is this dance fun?>I assure you that there is nothing better for you perverts!
>That damn guy...>...what's he thinking?!>Hotaru...that gentleman is not a common type...he has already settled in so well, even though he's a samurai!>I would be happy if he was always with us...>Don't say nonsense!>I don't want to see him!>Oh!>Hotaru...how come you're so nervous? But then it's not like you...>What?!>Who...who wants to see that man...>Iih!
>That's good!>It's not bad at all to drink on this stage!>Mh?!>But...I've got a hangover?>Eh...>It's not a dream, and not even an illusion!
>Ooh...>It's a truly amazing art!>Drink with me!>Mh?!>I advise you not to move...>I set up this trap while you drank here in peace...>Oh...>How good you are...
>Eh...so you've already found out that I'm a kunoichi, haven't you?>But at this point it's too late! You must die!>...>I don't understand...what reason do you have to kill me?>Even if you no longer remember what you've done, I still remember it very well!>Does this symbol mean anything to you?!>It's the emblem of Mount Fuji with a cloud! It belonged to Himuro Nobunari...>I killed him during the battle of Nagashino!>Exactly! You still recognize it, eh?
>Himuro Nobunari was my fiancé!>You are the man who took everything away from me!>I've been living until now, only thinking of how to kill you!>Now my moment has come to take revenge for everything!>I didn't know...>...but you've come too late!>What?!>Ah! They're incendiary arrows!
>Ah ah ah! Very good! Fire! Fire!>I've already set up a bomb under the house!>When this fire ignites the bomb, it will be the end!>You will explode together with the hut!>Or will you be able to come out coolly even if you become a fireball, Keiji?!>Eh eh...>Ah ah ah!>Ah ah ah ah ah!>What's your plan now?
>Ah ah ah! What a lovely view!>I've already died once, so I don't care if I die a second time!>Do you feel the heat?! Sir Nobunari died burning!>You will burn to death in agony too!>Ah ah ah!>And I will give you the final blow!
>>268339616ENTER the demon king
>Ah!>I won't say that I comprehend the pain you felt with that mark on your shoulder!>But it was the custom of warriors on the battlefield! I can only ask you for forgiveness!>Eh?
>>268339330>>268339393>a man cooking M-MASAKA!!
[In the moment of the explosion, Keiji made an extraordinary leap by leveraging a spear!]
>Ah ah ah! He's dead! Keiji Maeda is dead!>Ouch...>H-how come you saved me?>Because I want to give you my head once I die!>But if you die before me, you can't have it!>What?!>Ah!>Wh-what are you doing?!
>I've fallen for you!>I cannot allow such a beautiful woman to die a virgin! It would be an enormous shame!>Ooooh!
