CHAPTER 64 - The King of Hell's Recital>Ah...urgh...>Go...Go...Goheita...>So...someone!>Someone come!>Ah!>O...oh?!>Aaah!
The King of Hell's Recital
>Phew...>Goheita's dance is splendid as always...
>Aaah!>You're really identical to him...>?!>...but you're not Goheita, right?>Who are you?
>Ah!>...>Who the hell is he?!>Ehe...>Eh eh eh!>I didn't believe that you'd discover me.
>Urgh! He's not Goheita!>Damned fox!>Cut off his head!>Sheeè!
>Urgh!>Iiih!>Ah...>Urgh...>Ugh...>But...>Eh eh...they can no longer move because I've securely tied them with my secret technique.
>Tell me who you are.>I am the messenger of the king of hell!>King of hell?>First of all, it is absolutely not true that Hideyoshi is a samurai who hopes for peace and detests needless killing!>In the past, he has killed tens of thousands of Ikkō-ikki men in the name of Nobunaga, and just recently Hideyoshi decreed the death of another ten thousand people with his measure of disarming civilians!>And now his jaws are about to bite the provinces of the east!>That is why the king of hell is in a rage!
[Hideyoshi and Mitsunari could easily find out that this is a plot by Hōjō. The entire staging is a clear and unmistakable warning to Hideyoshi.]>Come forward, Chacha...and all those who are present. Memorize this face well!>Even a cruel man like Hideyoshi will be tormented if he loses his most beloved concubine and the child she carries in her womb.>You will see hell alive, before anyone else here!>U...ugh...>Aah!>Ugh...Lady Chacha...>You're really clever.>Because you even managed to make the skilled Mitsunari fall into your trap.>?!
>I imagine that you caused those riots at the imperial palace and in Nagiri.>Alarmed by those riots, Mitsunari has left, taking all the ninja from this mansion with him.>Oh...this woman has already noticed the ninjas' absence...>But how come the king of hell hasn't ordered you to kill the Kanpaku directly?>Why did you appear right in front of me?!
>Ehe...not for nothing, she is the woman who inherited the blood of Nobunaga, the ruler of the Sengoku Jidai...>...she shows no agitation even though she knows that she will be killed in a few moments...>Eh eh eh...>You're such a skilled woman that I'm sorry to kill you!>Uh?!>So imprint this face well into your memory!>And report to Hideyoshi!>If he continues to be greedy, this messenger will return among the living and lead him straight to hell!
>Urgh!>Urgh...>Oh...Lady Chacha!>Lady Chacha is in trouble!>Urgh! So...someone help Lady Chacha!
>Someone!>Eh eh eh...you've been very brave, Gessai, my shadow!>From now on, I, Fusai, will be your specter and astound Hideyoshi!>In any case...I have to admit that you put on a really chilling display, Gessai...congratulations!>...even Hideyoshi, who loves gory scenes, would have been disgusted![Gessai took his own life on purpose to warn Chacha that this is not a joke. The features of his decapitated head were imprinted in the memory of Chacha and the others present. An unforgettable memory.]
>After crossing the bridge, we will arrive in Nagiri, Lord!>Aha...>...
>What's that rock?>W...well...>...it's the tomb of Ofu's mother.>Oh, it's her mother's tomb...>Uhm, but...>...how come it's here in such an isolated place?>...>Her name was Oyuki and she always stopped here...
>From the day Ofu was abandoned along this river, Oyuki would come every day to pray at the end of the bridge, waiting for her return.>But Oyuki died without seeing Ofu again...>That's why I've placed her tomb here as if she were still observing the river in person.>Ah ah ah!>Go ahead, I'll catch up with you quickly.>...
>Eh?>S..Sir...[Keiji is a kabukimono, but he's also the nephew of Toshiie Maeda, one of the five most important daimyo of the nation. A class act like Keiji doesn't hesitate to kneel down to appease the spirit of a deceased person from Nagiri. Iwabe has never met such a transparent and generous samurai.]>Sir...but you...
>You fell in love with Oyuki, didn't you?>Uh...ah...ehm...>Urgh!>Cough! Cough! That hurt!>Ah ah ah!>I can't walk by the grave of the woman you loved without feeling the obligation to stop.>Si...Sir...>Ah ah ah!>Eh eh eh!

>>269186443Thank you for posting and translating.
A bump for Keiji.
Let's go!
>>269186014Clever girl.
>>269186091Is this martial arts?
>>269186271It feels unnecessary.
>>269186443Thx mate.
>>269186357That's a nice sentiment.
>>269186390Keiji, a true class act.
Almost there.
>>269186357;__;
>>269186419He can be so considerate. Like a true gentleman.
>>269186443CHAPTER 65 - The Quarreling Ban[When Hideyoshi heard that Chacha had been assaulted in the Noh theatre pavilion, his face paled and he rushed to her.]>A...are you all right?!>Yes.>And my baby in your belly?!>Yes, he's safe too.>Ah!>Eh?! What's the matter?!
>Just now...>...your baby kicked me.>Eh?>He gave you a kick?!>He gave you a kick, eh?!>Yes.
>He seems very strong... just like his father!>Li...like his father...>...you're talking about me?>Ah ah ah! Well, of course...it's natural, he's my son.>The important thing is that you're safe and sound...now I feel relieved.>Your Highness!>Lord Mitsunari Ishida has arrived.
>How did they die?>There was a decapitation order because they weren't able to defend Lady Chacha.
>Mitsunari!>Ah!>I've just returned!>I...I apologize for what has happened...>Listen to me, Mitsunari...
>?!>Do you know what this head said to Chacha?>If I continue to be greedy...>...he will come back to life. Having said that, he killed himself. Doesn't it seem completely insane to you? Eh eh eh...>Anyway...how dare he threaten me?>And you?...Where have you been all this time?>S...so...>...I was in the village of Nagiri...>...to safeguard the witness and foil Hōjō's conspiracy...>Mmm...and did you succeed?>U...unfortunately no...>There wasn't a living soul in Nagiri, was there?
>Urgh!>How did you know?!>I am more informed than you!>The men of Nagiri have already abandoned their village to better monitor the imperial palace!>Oh, that can't be...>You fell into their trap like an idiot!>Urgh...>They've finished attacking Nagiri, but in reality they want Jurakudai palace!>You have been completely tossed about by the enemies, you foolish greenhorn! You must never move as and when you please!...Use your head...or you will lose it!>And tell me...If something happened to Chacha, how would you have apologized to me?!...Crawl like a worm at my feet?!>And tell me again...if Chacha had an abortion, how would you have compensated me for the damages?!...Work all your life as a servant in the rice paddies?
>Listen to me carefully, Mitsunari! If you want to expose Hōjō's conspiracy, you absolutely must find evidence!...Understood?...>And if something were to happen to Chacha again, your head will keep company with the others on display!>...Yes Lord!...I will defend the Lady even at the cost of my life!>Good!...Now showcase that head in Shijogawara!
[Shijogawara...]>Oh, so it's that man...>Just think...he broke into Jurakudai alone.[Keiji has already returned to Kyoto. And in the company of Kanetsugu, he went to see the head of the man who made Mitsunari fall into a trap.]>Eh eh eh!>Eh eh...>Uh uh uh!>What's so funny, Sir Keiji?>Well...I imagine that this affair has thrown Hideyoshi into a panic...>?!
>You've been deceived by this guy too, eh?>Yeah...>...but it doesn't make me angry at all. Look at this head here!>He's laughing!>We can't underestimate rivals like these!>...>Ah ah ah!>...>What...what is it?
>You no longer need us, don't you? So when are you going to stop following my Lord?!>I'll never stop.>Wh...what?!>I shall be one of his servants.>Wh...what?>Don't be ridiculous! I'm his only servant and that's enough for him!>But...>And then don't you think he'll be bothered by the fact that you're a giant?...And then as if that weren't enough, you also look like an ogre!>Oh! What a beautiful horse!>Go back home, it's for the best!>Urgh...>Whose horse is that?>It's called Matsukaze. I believe it belongs to Sir Keiji Maeda.>Uhm...he's not of the Maeda family for nothing!
>O...oh, it's true! What a fantastic horse!>And tell me instead...who's that gigantic and filthy man that looks like an ogre?>Could he be a vassal of Sir Maeda?>He looks truly dreadful!>If that were a vassal, Sir Maeda's reputation would be diminished...>You heard?!>Get down!>Damn you!>And then look at that midget standing next to him! He's terrible too!...A real freak!>Wha...>Urgh!
>Even though he is a kabukimono, Sir Keiji Maeda is the nephew of Lord Toshiie Maeda, the heir to a domain of one million koku in Kaga!>If he wanted to become an officer, he could certainly get land worth fifty thousand koku! What a shame!>His vassals are an ogre and a midget! Very interesting...even bizarre...!>Ugh!>Ah ah ah ah!>Eh!>Abbgh!>Who...who the hell are you?!
>Bringing people down with harsh words...>...it's absolutely intolerable!>Ugh!>I'm going to have to sort out all those who laughed at these two men!>...
>When men quarrel, you don't think about rank! Let's set all ceremonies aside!>...>Lo...Lord! Forget it, I beg you!>Who are you?>I'm Keiji Maeda!>Oh!>I will also participate. I'm Kanetsugu Naoe, military commander of the Yamashiro Province!
>Oh, thank you Kanetsugu, you're really generous!>How fortunate you are! You can strike the military commander of the Yamashiro Province without any excuse!>Ooh!>Interesting!>Go ahead! Feel free to strike down anyone you don't like!>This is a party!>Oooh!>Ah ah ah ah!
>First of all, I hate this one here!>Habbaa!>...>...>Si...Sir...>...>I...I'm sorry...>...for having caused you so much trouble...>I...I'm leaving now...>...Thank you for everything that you've done for me...
>W....wait, Iwabe!>Are you sure you want to leave?>What are you saying!>I also want to stay with Sir Keiji! I'm not even afraid to die!>But...but...>...if I were with him...>Lo...Lord!>I beg you...stop Iwabe!>Keep him as your servant!>Be...because he...>...he raised Ofu and even made a tomb for Oyuki, even though no one appreciated it...>I was also an orphan...and because of this, I understand very well that he's a man with a pure heart.
>...>And in reality...>...it's me who wants to be with Iwabe!>Su...Sutemaru...>I will accept it only on one condition.>Eh?!>Always keep your loincloth clean.>Yes...my Lord![It doesn't matter if he's covered in rags or jewelry. When a man dies on the battlefield, his adversaries strip him of everything and he is left only in his loincloth.][Keiji expressed his firm warrior intention and benevolence to Iwabe and Sutemaru.]
Chapters 66 and 67 tomorrow.
