Owari
Princess Hitei.
否定姫様
You're late.
遅いわ
いつまで待たせる気よ
How long were you planning on making me wait?
Mask: "Unconcealed"
I'm terribly sorry, but...
申し訳ありません ただ
I don't want to hear excuses.
言い訳など聞きたくないわ
Getting here without being seen took some time.
監視の目をかいくぐるのには どうしても時間がふん
そんなもの聞いてもわたしの怒りが冷めることなどないわ
Excuses like that won't make me any less angry.
Yes.
で あの不愉快な女はどうなったのかしら
So, what's been happening with that unpleasant woman?
The strategian is headed towards Kyushu.
かの奇策士は九州へ向かって旅立ちました
錆白兵打倒後ということもあって少々手間取っていたようですが
Apparently they were delayed, as they had just defeated Sabi Hakuhei.
日本最強の剣士を打破した今
After taking down Japan's strongest swordsman, they've been receiving endless challenges from swordsmen who want the title.
その座を狙う剣士からの挑戦が絶えないようです
彼女たちにとってはよい経験値稼ぎとなっているかと
They are likely getting a lot of real battle experience as a result.
錆白兵ね
Sabi Hakuhei...
The man upon whom I bestowed the title of Japan's Strongest.
わたしが日本最強に据えてやった男
How foolish of them to get cocky merely from beating him.
愚かしい それに勝ったくらいのことで調子に乗るなんて
I believe they will arrive at Satsuma shortly.
おそらくはそろそろ薩摩に到着するころ合いではないかと
Which means their next target is Zokutou Yoroi...
となると目標は「賊刀·鎧」というわけね
It's quite arrogant of her to move ahead without even stopping back at Owari.
尾張にも立ち寄らず いよいよもって調子に乗っているわ
旧将軍でさえ１本すら集め得なかった完成形変体刀十二本
Considering that they've collected 4 of Shikizaki Kiki's 12 Perfected Deviant Blades,
of whom General Kyuu couldn't even find one, it's understandable.
そのうち４本までを集めせしめたのですから
無理もないかと
I didn't ask what you think.
あんたの感想なんて聞いてないわ
Yes.
But that's definitely like her.
しかし あの女らしいといえばあの女らしいわ
Though we mustn't underestimate them.
とはいえ 侮れません
奇策士のことはもちろんですが
Besides the strategian herself, that swordsman she has with her is...
今彼女が連れている剣士
Ah, the swordless swordsman?
ああ 無刀の剣士
What's his name?
何ていったかしら
The 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
虚刀流七代目当主鑢七花
この男 道中一度も敵からの攻撃をその身に受けておりません
Throughout their journey, this man has not once taken physical damage from his foes.
He's gotten by without even a scratch?
かすり傷一つかしら
Right, without even a scratch.
かすり傷一つです
宇練銀閣の居合も敦賀迷彩の千刀も
Neither Uneri Ginkaku's Zerosen nor Tsuruga Meisai's Sentou could cut his body.
彼の体を傷つけるには至っておりません
その肉体を一本の刀として鍛え上げる虚刀流
In Kyotouryuu, they forge their bodies as a sword.
Though, I should note that the Kyotouryuu school's strength lies not in offense but in defense.
しかしその流派の特筆すべき点は攻撃力ではなく
むしろ防御力にあると言わざるを得ません
随分といいくじを引いたじゃない
Quite the lucky ticket she drew...
She has the devil's luck, as usual.
相変わらず悪運の強い女だわ
I look forward to future developments.
この先の展開が楽しみね
「賊刀·鎧」は絶大なる防御力を誇る守りの刀
Zokutou Yoroi is a sword that boasts immeasurable defensive power.
Defensive strength vs. defensive strength...
防御力対防御力
I wonder how this will turn out...
さてどうなることかしら
Satsuma
Let the fight begin!
いざ尋常に
勝負
Zokutou
Yoroi
どうした
What's wrong?
そのご自慢の刀で俺の鎧を真っ二つにするんじゃなかったのか
Weren't you going to slash my armor in two with that sword you're so proud of?
おいおい あんた前人未到の５人抜きもこりゃまぐれだったのかな
Hey now, was your record five consecutive wins just a fluke?
それともいざこうして向かい合うと逃げたくなっちまったかい
Or do you feel like running away now that you're actually face to face with me?
くっほざけ
Shut up!
That decoration of yours is like a sheet of paper before the strength of my sword!
そんなお飾りわが剛剣の前には紙も同然よ
否崩れ
Inakuzure.
Inakuzure
バカが
You fool!
It's my win!
もらったぞ
決着
Winner!
おい とがめ
Hey, Togame...
刀折れちまったぞ
The sword broke...
どうすんだよ
What do we do now?
そなたまたわたしの話をよく聞いていなかったようだな
It looks like you haven't been paying attention to what I was saying again.
That swordsman was just a side character.
あの剣士はただの脇役だ
わたしたちに関係があるのはあの鎧武者の方だ
The person we're interested in is that warrior in armor.
The warrior in armor?
鎧武者
Yep.
そう 鎧海賊団船長 校倉必
The captain of the Yoroi Pirates, Azekura Kanara.
He is your opponent this time.
あの男が今回の対戦相手だ
きゃつ 結構な人気者のようだな
It looks like he's quite popular.
So wait, he wasn't using his sword for this battle?
じゃあこの戦いのためにあいつは刀を持ってこなかったってことか
否
Wrong.
あの鎧が賊刀だ
That armor is Zokutou.
鎧が
The armor?
完成形変体刀十二本が一本「賊刀·鎧」
One of 12 Perfected Deviant Swords, Zokutou Yoroi.
西洋甲冑を模した防衛主体の日本刀
A Japanese sword modeled after western armor.
しかしこれはまたずいぶんと厄介な者の手に渡っているようではないか
But it would appear that this sword has fallen into the hands of a rather troublesome person too.
まあ 到着して早々賊刀の所有者である校倉の戦闘を見れたのは
Though, we were pretty lucky to catch a battle with Zokutou's owner right after arriving at the port.
幸運だった
七花 宿を決めるぞ
Shichika, let's figure out where to stay.
細かいことはそこで説明してやる
I'll explain the details there.
九州といえば温泉
Kyushu is well known for its hot springs.
有名な活火山がすぐそばにあることもあり
It's a popular health resort with famous active volcanoes nearby.
どこを掘ってもまず温泉が湧くといわれている骨休みの名地でございます
and it's said that if you dig a hole anywhere, hot water will gush out.
５カ月間の旅で
After the mental and physical stress of their five month journey so far,
肉体的にも精神的にも疲弊していた２人にとって
ここへきて温泉宿とはまさに渡りに船でございました
a hot spring inn was just what they needed.
ちなみに 混浴でございます
Incidentally, it's mixed bathing.
この温泉は主たる効能として
They say this hot spring is supposed to help heal bruises and sprains.
打ち身や捻挫に効くそうだがどうだ
どうだ
How is it?
I can't really answer that,
と言われても
別に俺はどこかをケガしているわけじゃないからな
since I haven't been injured anywhere.
Oh, right.
ふむ そうであったな
でもこんなでけえ風呂は脚が伸ばせて気分がいいぜ
Though, a large bath like this feels great because I can stretch my legs out.
七花
Shichika...
島を出発するときに
When we left the island, I said to you,
わたしはそなたに言ったものだ
刀を守れ わたしを守れ そしてそなた自身を守れと
"Protect the swords, protect me, and protect yourself."
To tell you the truth, I'd thought that the last order would be the most difficult one,
実のところ
最後の項目が一番難しいと思っていた
強豪たちを相手にしながらしかしそなたは本当に傷一つ負っておらん
but even after fighting all those formidable opponents, there isn't a single scratch on you.
正直言ってそのことについてわたしは非常に感服しておる
Honestly, I'm really impressed.
What? That's not like you.
何だよ らしくない
そうか
Really?
刀４本集めた程度で
Don't tell me you feel accomplished just because we've succeeded in collecting four swords?
何かを成し遂げちまったつもりになってんじゃねえだろうな
Of course not.
言われるまでもないわ
ただな
It's just...
Drink up.
飲め
いや 俺酒は
Sake is kind of...
ちょっとくらいはよいであろうが
Just a little is fine, isn't it?
それともわたしの勧める酒が飲めんというのか
Or are you saying you don't want the sake I'm offering you?
Drink it!
飲ーむの
Ugh...
So?
ただ 何だよ
"It's just..." what?
ただな ほれ
It's just, you know...
We took back Hakutou Hari from Sabi Hakuhei just a few days ago, right?
つい先日錆白兵から薄刀針を取り返したであろう
そのことによりわたしたちの刀集めの旅は少なからず余裕が出たのだよ
Due to that, we have a little breathing room now in our sword collection journey.
よく分からねえな どういう意味だ
I don't get it.
What do you mean?
わたしは大ポカを２つやらかしておったからな
I'd already failed twice before...
その失点を取り戻すために躍起になっておったところがある
To make up for those, I was kind of rushing ahead on things.
I see.
まず真庭蝙蝠から「絶刀·鉋」を取り返し
We started off by taking Zettou Kanna from Maniwa Koumori,
そして錆白兵から「薄刀·針」を取り返した
and now we've retrieved Hakutou Hari from Sabi Hakuhei.
これでわたしは焦る必要はなくなった
So now, there's no need to rush.
雑念を捨てじっくりと刀集めに専念できる
We can slowly concentrate on collecting the rest without any worries.
じっくり
Slowly?
じっくりと いやらしく
Slowly and dirtily.
本当のことを言えばわたしは当初そなたのことを疑っておった
To tell you the truth, I had doubts about you in the beginning.
いや 疑っていたというのは違うな
Well no, "doubt" is the wrong word.
ただわたしは裏切られどおしであったからな
But I've always been betrayed,
そなたも刀を手に入れたら すぐわたしの下を去るのではないかと
so I was afraid that you might leave me right after we obtained the swords.
ひでえな
That's cruel!
ただその心配はなさそうだとここらでわたしは判断することにした
But I've recently decided that there's no need to worry about that.
そんな不安を含んだままで続けられる旅でもないし
This isn't a journey you can make while shouldering those kinds of worries.
まあ ひとまずそなたが
Anyway, at this point I'm absolutely sure you won't suddenly betray me.
わたしを積極的に裏切ったりはしないだろうということには
絶対の確信を持てた
だからそなたもそのつもりでいろ
So you can rest assured.
何をいまさら
What, after all this time?
俺はずっととがめからは愛されまくっていると思っていたぜ
I thought you loved me to pieces from the start.
いや そんな設定はなかった
No one decided that...
だいたいまにわにや錆みたいに裏切られないように
And anyway, didn't you seek out Kyotouryuu precisely because you wanted to avoid being betrayed like with Maniwani and Sabi?
とがめは刀として虚刀流を雇ったんじゃねえのかよ
金のためにも刀のためにも動かない 無刀の剣士虚刀流
Those who don't fight for money or for swords,
the swordless swordsmen — Kyotouryuu.
I suppose...
そうであったな
そして何より
And most importantly—
愛か
Love?
そのとおり 愛のために動く男
Exactly!
A man who will move for love.
俺はとがめにほれてるんだからよ
I fell for you, so there's no way I'd betray you.
裏切るわけがねえだろうが
一緒に旅をしたこの５カ月の間に
I've found new love for you every day of our journey these last five months.
日々ほれ直してるくらいだぜ
のわりに
It doesn't really show...
一緒に温泉に漬かっても何もなさそうだな
You don't seem like you'd do anything even though we're in a hot spring bath together.
何だよ とがめが誘ったんじゃん
What do you mean? You're the one who invited me.
そうだが
I suppose...
ああ そうだ
Ah, that's right.
七花 ちょっと立ってみろん
Stand up, Shichika.
その場で立ち上がってみろと言ったのだ
I said stand up right there.
Okay...
こうして見ると本当にそなたの体は大きいな
You really do have a big body, now that I actually look.
背のわりには細い方だがそれでも弱々しいところがない
You're on the slim side for your height, but nothing about you looks weak.
旅をしている間に前よりたくましくなったのではないか
Haven't you gotten more muscular during our journey?
そうか
I have?
いや そういうの自分ではもうよく分かんねえけど
I don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff myself...
まあ とがめがそう言うならそうなんだろうな
But if you say so, I guess so.
それがどうした
Why?
いや すまなかったな
No reason.
Sorry for staring at you like that.
じろじろ見回すようなことをして
さて では仕事の話だ
Now, let's talk about our plans.
何だ いつもみたいに着込まないのか
You're not going to wear all those layers like usual?
情緒のないそなたには分からないだろうが
Someone with no sense like you wouldn't understand,
温泉宿ではこのような軽装で過ごすのが習わしだ
but being able to lounge around at a hot spring inn is relaxing.
どうだ 初めての浴衣姿だ
What do you think?
It's the first time you've seen me in a yukata!
何が
What?
いや 何でもない
Never mind.
あの鎧武者が変体刀の所有者で
That armored warrior holds one of the Deviant Blades,
あの鎧が「賊刀·鎧」か
and that armor is itself is Zokutou Yoroi...
ありなのか
Is that possible?
ありだ
Yes.
遠目からではよく分からなかったかもしれないが
It might have been hard to tell from a distance, but the joints of the various parts of the armor are made of sharp blades.
鎧の部分のそれぞれの継ぎ目が鋭利なやいばになっておる
攻撃よりも防御を主体に作られた変体刀
It's the Deviant Blade that was made not with offense but defense as its primary focus — Zokutou Yoroi.
それが「賊刀·鎧」
思い出してほしいのは粉々になった剛剣の方だ
Remember how he completely shattered his opponent's sword.
なまなかな力ではあの賊刀に傷一つ付けることはかなわぬであろう
It'll take a considerable amount of effort to put even a scratch on Zokutou.
I get that, but wait...
それは分かったが ちょっと待て
俺は刀を傷つけちゃ駄目なんだろ
I'm not allowed to harm the swords at all, right?
Of course not.
当然だ
However, there are a number of other ways we can win.
だが まあ差し当たって勝つだけならばいくらでも方法はある
珍しく策が早いな
It's rare for you to come up with a plan that fast.
防御力が鉄壁な鎧といっても
Even against an iron bulwark of armor, anyone can come up with a few ways to defeat it if they use their head.
方法を２～３挙げることはできよう
例えば
For example?
Push him into the sea.
海へ突き落とす
すきがない鎧とはいっても
Even armor without any chinks would flood and suffocate its user if sunk.
浸水させてしまえば窒息して溺れ死ぬこと間違いなしだ
足の部分をでも丈夫な鎖か何かでつないでおいて
And if we attach a strong chain to his foot or something, we can quickly pull it up after he drowns.
溺死したところを素早く引き上げて回収し
きちんとその後の処理をすればさびることもあるまい
And if we clean it up properly afterwards, it won't rust.
Y-You sure come up with some evil plans...
悪魔みたいなこと考えるなあんた
We could also use heat.
熱で攻めるという手もある
鎧そのものを傷めぬ程度の熱を照射する
We'll heat up the armor, making sure not to damage it.
金属は何にしろ熱しやすいからな
Any kind of metal is easy to heat up, after all.
当然内部に熱がこもって中の人間は熱死する
And then naturally, the insides would also heat up, killing the user.
どうした七花
What's the matter, Shichika?
いいや しかし そうか
N-Nothing...
But, okay...
卑怯な手を使ってもいいというなら
If we're free to use backhanded methods, then we could just attack him when he's not wearing the armor.
やつが鎧を脱いでいるところを狙ってもいい
I'd say that's more "obvious" rather than "backhanded"...
それは卑怯というよりはむしろ当然の戦略だ
だがあの男 校倉必は
But that man...
Azekura Kanara would never take off that armor in front of anyone.
人前であの鎧を決して脱がないらしい
Our foe this time is definitely troublesome.
今回の敵も厄介であることには違いない
Let's be fully prepared before going into this...
じっくりと構えてことに当たるとしよう
気持ちいい
That feels so good!
そうか 気持ちいいのか
I see, it feels good there?
どうも俺の方は心の内壁に変な感覚が芽生えていく感じがあるんだが
Though I've got to say, I feel a bit weird doing this...
Your feet have stopped!
足が止まっておるぞ もっと踏め
Step on me more!
"Step on me more"?
もっと踏めって
It would feel great if you stepped lightly on my head.
頭とか軽く踏んでくれるといい感じかも
それはさすがに
I really can't...
I'd heard that the armor was big, but I didn't think it would be so huge.
でかい鎧だとは聞いておったが
まさかあれほどまでにでかいとはなあ
七花背の違いはそのまま強さの違いにつながるぞ
Shichika, a difference in height leads directly to a difference in strength.
ちびっこいとがめが言いそうなことだなあ
That sounds just like something little Togame would say.
ちぇりおおおっ
Cheerio!
久しぶりだな その「ちぇりお」も
It's been a while since you hit me with a "cheerio".
Shut up.
やかましいわ
Of course, small people have their own methods of fighting.
むろん小柄な人間には小柄なりの戦い方はある
小回りが利くし軽いしな
You can outmaneuver the opponent, and you're light.
しかし その手の戦い方を心得てはおらぬであろう
But you aren't familiar with fighting like that, are you?
だが今回だけは違う
This time will be different.
そなたは校倉必という巨体の男と戦うことになる
You'll be fighting a giant man called Azekura Kanara.
Don't you have some sort of plan?
何か対策はねえのかよ
Not in regards to this, no.
これに関してはない
武芸の心得を一切持たぬわたしにはまるで分からぬ領域だ
The strategies of martial arts is a field I know nothing about.
Think for yourself.
自分で考えろ
An opponent larger than myself...
自分より大きな相手 確かに考えたこともなかったな
It's true, I've never thought about it...
Ma'am?
お客さま
中止 早く中止
Stop! Hurry up and stop!
何だ
What is it?
夜分遅く申し訳ありません
Please excuse the late night interruption.
表にお客さま方にお会いしたいという方がおみえになっております
There's a person out front saying he'd like to meet you.
Who?
誰だ
鎧海賊団船長 校倉必さまでございます
The Yoroi Pirates Captain, Azekura Kanara-sama.
まさかそちらからやって来るとはなあ 予想外だった
I never expected you to actually come find us first.
いや 剣士たちにとって七花の名は無名ではなくなっているのだ
Well no...
Shichika's reputation as a swordsman is common knowledge by now.
当然予想しておくべきだったか
I should have anticipated this.
で この港町の実質的支配者 鎧海賊団の船長校倉必殿が
So?
What business does the effective ruler of this port city,
the Yoroi Pirates Captain Azekura Kanara-dono, have with simple travelers such as us?
わたしたちのような一介の旅人にどんなご用ですかな
Well, it isn't anything as grand as "business"...
いや 別にご用ってほど大仰なもんじゃねえよ
大盆で見たときも思ったが
I'd thought so when I saw you at the Obon Arena, but looking at you closer, you really are quite cute!
こうして近くで見ればよりいっそうあらためてかれんな女じゃねえか
髪の色も奇麗だ
And I love the color of your hair!
Why thank you.
それはどうも あなたの鎧姿もなかなかどうして見事です
That armor also suits you quite well.
So, what business did you come here for?
それで何のご用ですかな
I said it isn't anything as grand as business!
だからご用ってほど大仰なもんじゃねえって
Azekura-dono, us simple travel—
校倉殿 わたしたちのような一介の
You're no simple travelers.
一介の旅人じゃねえだろ
家鳴幕府預奉所軍所総監督とがめ殿に
The army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of the Yanari Shogunate, Togame-dono,
虚刀流七代目当主
and the 7th Kyotouryuu head.
巌流島において錆白兵との決闘に勝利し
You defeated Sabi Hakuhei in a duel on Ganryuu Island,
無刀でありながらも 今や日本最強の剣士の称号を得た鑢七花殿
and even being swordless, you obtained the title of Japan's strongest swordsman, Yasuri Shichika-dono.
その２人を指して一介の旅人などとてもとても
Calling the two of you simple travelers is rather absurd.
He even knows about Shichika's heritage...
七花の素性まで知られているのか
You're currently collecting swords, correct?
刀集めの最中なんだろう
細かい腹の探り合いはしたくねえ 俺は九州男児なもんでな
I didn't come here to interrogate you or anything.
I'm a man of Kyushu.
ご存じのとおり そして見てのとおり
As you're aware, and as you can see, I bear one of the 12 Perfected Deviant Blades that Shikizaki Kiki forged, Zokutou Yoroi.
俺は四季崎記紀の完成形変体刀
「賊刀·鎧」の所有者だ
You came here to tear this armor off me, right?
あんたら 俺からこの鎧をはぎに来たんだろう
さてな
Maybe.
Assuming that's true, what of it?
だとしたらどうだというのだ
海賊として海の上で略奪を繰り返すあなた方が
As a pirate yourself, surely you're not shocked at the idea of having your own belongings taken from you?
まさか「自分は奪われるのは嫌だ」などと
噴飯物のせりふを吐きはしないだろう
I guess that's true.
そりゃそうだ
人を傷つけるからには傷つけられる覚悟が必要だし
To hurt others, you must be prepared to be hurt yourself.
奪うからには奪われる覚悟を決めてる
I steal from others, so I have the resolve to be stolen from.
殺すからには殺される覚悟もな
The same goes for the resolve to kill.
覚悟か
Resolve, huh...
いや 何でもな
No, nothing.
そうかい
I see.
俺は別に先手を打ちに来たというわけじゃねえんだ
I didn't come here to make the first move or anything.
Well, you say that...
そう言われてもな わたしとしてはこう考えざるを得ないな
Here's what comes to mind first.
すでにこの宿は校倉殿の配下によって取り囲まれていて袋のねずみだと
You've already had your men surround this inn, trapping us like mice.
I haven't brought anyone else with me.
お供など連れてきていない
I wonder.
どうだか
七花
Shichika.
ちぇりおーっ
Cheerio!
え あれ
Huh?
何をぼーっとしておる
What are you zoning out for?
いや悪かった
Uh, sorry...
Kyotouryuu, huh...
虚刀流か
I know it.
知ってるぜ
大乱の英雄だよな
The hero of the rebellion.
お前が七代目を継いだってことは
The fact that you're the 7th generation head must mean that Yasuri Mutsue has retired?
鑢六枝は現役を引いたのか
親父なら死んだよ
Father's dead.
えっと まあ 死んだんだ
He, uh...
Well, he died.
何だそれは
What the heck's that?
Everyone has their own past.
事情は人それぞれだ
But I would have preferred that you gained the title of Japan's strongest after you defeated me!
だが日本最強を名乗るなら この俺を倒してからにしてほしかったな
You're quite aggressive...
ずいぶんと好戦的なのだな
男として生まれた以上どっちが強いかそれが気になるのは当然だろう
It's natural for anyone born a man to wonder who's stronger.
日本最強なんて看板は覚悟もなしに掲げていいもんじゃねえ
The title of Japan's strongest isn't something you carry around lightly.
それについては同感だな
I will agree with you there.
Now, Azekura-dono...
さて 校倉殿 率直にお聞きしたい
I'll ask you straight up.
わたしたちの正体を知っている わたしたちの目的も知っている
You're aware of who we really are, as well as our true purpose.
So why did you, the owner of Zokutou Yoroi, come to this inn?
その上で「賊刀·鎧」を所有する校倉殿が
どうしてこの宿にやって来る
I doubt you came to hand over Yoroi as a present to the Shogunate.
まさかその鎧を幕府に献上しに来たというわけでもあるまい
まさか
Not a chance!
海賊が幕府に恭順の姿勢を見せちまったら最後だぜ
It would be the end of us as pirates if we were to show obedience to the Shogunate!
反権力反体制こそが海賊の旗印だ
Pirates are fundamentally anti-government, anti-establishment.
さあ ここからが大事な話だ
Now, this is the important part, Togame.
とがめ 例えばあんたの思惑どおり俺から鎧をはぎ取ったとしてよ
Let's say that you manage to tear this armor off me.
その後あんたらはどうするつもりでいるんだ
What would you do after that?
Head for Shikoku?
次は四国かな
No, if we manage to take Zokutou Yoroi from you, we'd probably head back to Owari for a bit.
いやその「賊刀·鎧」を略奪できたとすれば
さすがにそろそろいったん尾張に引き揚げようと思っている
By land? Sea?
陸路か海路か
せっかく港に来ておるので
Well we are at a port city, so I'd prefer sea if possible.
できれば海路をとりたいな
確か この濁音港からも尾張行きの船は出ておったろう
I'm sure there are boats that leave from Dakuon Port to Owari.
Indeed!
ああ 尾張行きどころか
Boats here leave for Owari, Tosa in Shikoku, the capital of Kyoto, Edo, Shiryouzan...
四国の土佐行き京都行き江戸行きから死霊山行き
琉球や蝦夷にだって行きたい放題だぜ
Even Ryukyu or Ezo if you want. Endless possibilities!
何せ この俺が根城にしている港だ
After all, this is my port!
However!
ただし
果たして「賊刀·鎧」を奪ったとして
If you really were to steal Zokutou Yoroi from me...
それで その後あんたらはこの俺の港から無事に出られるかな
Do you really think you could leave my port safely?
勝戦処理
He's already prepared?
変な根回しをされる前に つぶしに来たか
He came to call us out on our plans before we even got down to work...
この男ずいぶんと読んでいる
This man has read ahead quite a bit.
That being the case, you may like what I came here to say.
そこで俺はあんたらにいい話を持ってきた
聞こうではないか
Let's hear it.
No matter who falls, the Shogunate will come out on top in the end.
少なくともどちらに転んだところで損な話にはならないよ
虚刀流 俺と決闘しろ
Kyotouryuu.
Let's duel.
D-Duel?
け 決闘
Yeah.
仮にあんたが俺に勝てたなら この賊刀はくれてやる
If you can defeat me, I'll hand over Zokutou.
My pirate crew and everyone else in the city will stay out of it.
よそして海賊団の人間にも町の人間にもその後手出しはさせねえ
話がうま過ぎるな
That sounds too perfect.
Of course, I have a few terms to go along with it.
そりゃもちろん幾つか条件をつけることになるがな
Which are?
Just so you know, the Shogunate can't decriminalize active pirates.
We're not so bad off that we have to seek their exoneration.
幕府からお目こぼしをもらわなきゃいけないほど自由に不自由してねえよ
ただちょっとこっちのメンツを立ててほしいんだ
I just want you to help me look good.
Look good?
メンツ
The name "Yoroi Pirates Captain Azekura Kanara" is pretty well known in this area.
鎧海賊団の校倉必っていや
あこの辺じゃ結構な顔でな
決闘の場所はあの大盆にしてほしいんだ
I want the duel to be held in Obon.
なぜ
Why?
I forbid private fights here.
私闘は俺が禁じてる
However, if you fight there, it's just business.
しかしあそこで戦うんならそれはあくまでも商売だ
And win or lose, having Japan's strongest swordless swordsman fight will rile up the audience.
それに勝とうが負けようが
日本最強の無力の剣士なんて珍しいやつと戦うならば
客は沸くぜ
あんたも幕府の人間なら
As a member of the Shogunate, I'm sure you'd be happy to see a revitalization of the local economy.
地方の地域活性化に一役買ってくれや
Are you trying to turn Shichika into an attraction?
七花を見せ物にする気か
That would be a cheap price to pay to get Zokutou, no?
それで賊刀が手に入るなら安いもんだろ
それが果たして刀を賭けるほどのことになるか
Is he really going to wager his sword on something like that?
純粋に虚刀流七代目当主鎧七花と戦いたいというのもあるだろうが
I suppose it's possible that he truly does just want to fight Shichika, the 7th generation Kyotouryuu head.
Is this the blade's poison at work too?
これも刀の毒か
校倉殿 一番大切なことを聞いていないなあ
I still haven't heard the most important part yet, Azekura-dono.
わたしたちが勝った揚合「賊刀·鎧」をちょうだいできる
If we beat you, we get Zokutou Yoroi,
そして その後の安全帰路まで保証してもらえるということだったが
along with safe passage back to Owari.
もしもわたしたちが負けた場合はどうなるのだ
But what happens if you beat us?
You're considering the possibility that you'll lose?
自分たちが負けた後のことが気になるのか
That's pretty timid of you.
そりゃずいぶんと弱気なことだ
If you defeat us, what are you looking for as a reward?
わたしたちはその敗北の代償に何を差し出せばよいのだ
こちらの４本とも差し出せというのであろう
There's no way he'd let us go for nothing.
He's most likely after the four swords we've already obtained.
それでこその破格の申し出と釣り合いがとれる
Good call.
ご明察だ
俺が勝った場合は
If I win...
I'll take you, Togame.
とがめ
あんたをもらい受けたい
I see, I see...
そうかそうであろう は
What?
か 刀はいらんのか
Y-You don't want our swords?
Swords?
刀そんなものに興味はねえ
I don't care about those.
The one I have is more than enough.
この１本があれば十分だ
I'd rather have you, Togame.
俺はそんなものよりとがめが欲しい
一目ぼれだ
I've fallen in love at first sight.
俺の女になれ
Please be my woman!
Even if he loses, you'll still come out on top.
勝っても負けてもあんたは損をしない
Because, if you become my woman, I'll take over that guy's position.
なぜならあんたが俺の女になれば
必然的に俺がそいつの後釜に納まることになるからだ
I'd always thought that if someone from the Shogunate dared step foot here, I'd send them back without their head,
幕府の人間がこの町に来ると聞いたときは
返り討ちにしてやろうと思ってたが
but I've changed my mind after seeing you.
あんたを見て考えが変わったぜ
I want to help you out, from the bottom of my heart.
あんたの力になりたいと心から思う
As a tactician, you should see how good this deal is.
あんたもこれがいい話だっていうことくらい分かるだろう
Having the pirates as allies would definitely be beneficial...
たしかに海賊団の力は有益であろうが
Kyotouryuu's fourth secret technique:
虚刀流四の奥義
Ryuuryoku Kakou!
柳緑花紅
Ryuuryoku Kakou
All right...
ふむ
I see.
なるほど
So this is your armor-piercing technique.
これが鎧通しの技か
Quite splendid.
見事なものだ
This mirror was pretty expensive, though...
しかし 結構高価な鏡だったのだが
Well, whatever.
まあ よいか
So you're able to deal damage anywhere you want with this technique?
これはつまりそなたの好きなところに
損傷を与えることができる技ということか
Well, basically yes.
まあ 言うならそんな感じだ
I can strike skin, muscle, organs, bones, or anything else.
皮膚でも筋肉でも内臓でも骨でも
それらを越えた向こう側でも
My father told me that the trick to this technique is the conduction of the shock from the impact,
親父に言わせれば この奥義は衝撃の伝導にコツがあるようなんだが
俺はそこを勘でやってる感じだな
but I just go with my instincts.
勘
Instincts?!
You used something as unreliable as that and aimed at my stomach?!
そなたそんな不確かなものに頼ってわたしの腹を殴ったのか
What if I died?!
死んだらどうする
I didn't really think that far.
それは考えてなかった
If I had known that, I wouldn't have participated!
そうと知っていれば協力などしなかったわ
Change my sash, Shichika.
七花
帯を変えるぞ
Okay.
What are you doing?!
なっ 何すんじゃー
I just felt like teasing you a bit.
いや 何か意地悪したくなって
Why?!
何でじゃ
そなたの怪力で意地悪なんぞされたら身が持たんわ
If you play tricks with your superhuman strength, my body will break!
Geez, what were you thinking?
まったく何を考えておるのだそなたは
Togame.
とがめ
What did you think about that guy's proposal?
昨日のあいつの提案 どう思ってんだ
I'd already decided a while ago.
結論ならとうに出ておるよ
In fact, I had already decided when Azekura was still standing in front of us.
あのとき校倉を目の前にすでに出ておったと言ってよい
I slept so well last night that I didn't even dream—
昨晩は夢も見んほどぐっすりと眠ったわ
What are you doing?!
何すんじゃー
いや 何だろう
I wonder myself...
I somehow got the urge to tease you...
何だか無性にとがめに意地悪をしたくなる
This is bullying already!
いや これはもう暴力だ
You just kicked me!
そなたは今わたしを蹴った
Come on, aren't you always hitting me?
何だよとがめだってよく俺のことど突くじゃねえか
Now we're even!
お互いさまだろう
なんぞ偉く今日は反抗的だな
You're being rather rebellious today...
So, what's your decision?
で どんな結論を出したんだ
I shouldn't have to say.
言うまでも無い
His proposal is just what we need.
やつの申し出は渡りに船だ
相手の提案に簡単に乗ったのでは交渉の意味がないのでな
If we simply accepted his proposition on the spot then we would seem too willing.
I just wanted to make him wait a little.
間を持たせただけだ
No, I don't mean that...
いや そういうことじゃなくて
校倉必 あいつはあんたの用心棒として相応しいのか
Would Azekura Kanara be suitable as your bodyguard?
Well, it's true that the pirate's information network would be more useful than any clout the Shogunate carries from this point on—
確かにこの先は幕府の力を用いるよりは
海賊団の情報網のほうが有用であろう
What are you doing?!
だから何すんじゃー
I don't know.
わからん
My hand just moved...
手が勝手に
Don't play around with a woman's hair!
女の髪に気安く触るな
It seems a little late to be saying that...
それは今更って感じだが
But anyway, how about this?
じゃあ こういうのはどうだ
We get the Yoroi Pirates to cooperate with us in the shadows, and you and I continue to collect the swords.
鎧海賊団には裏方として全面協力してもらって
それで俺ととがめで刀を集めるというのは
Azekura probably wouldn't accept that.
それでは校倉は納得せんであろうな
It's probably true that he wants to fight Japan's strongest swordsman,
日本最強と戦いたいというのも まああるであろうが
しかしそれ以上にあの男の言うことが本当だとすれば
but beyond that, assuming what he said was true, Azekura probably just sees you as an obstacle.
校倉は七花のことを邪魔に思っておるはずだ
An obstacle?
邪魔
That's how he sounded.
そういう口ぶりだったぞ
男として女を独占したいと思っておるのだろう
As a man, he'd want to monopolize his woman.
じゃあそれは 決して悪くない提案なんだよな
So I guess that's not a bad proposal then...
No.
いや どんな裏があるか知れん提案だ
It could have any number of catches.
It's not something I can trust.
信用できたものではない
In the end he's a pirate, after all.
所詮は海賊の言うことだ
But didn't you say you can trust in someone who moves for love?
でもとがめ 愛で動く人間は信用できるんだろ
I suppose I did say that.
確かにわたしが言ったことではあるが
そなたは でかい図体をして本当に子供みたいなことを
You may look grown up, but you sure say some childish things...
ん何だよ どういう意味だ
What do you mean by that?
Well...
えっとな
例えばそなたはどう思うのだ
Tell me what you think about this then.
仮にあの男がそなたの代わりに私の用心捧になったとしたら
What if that man become my bodyguard in place of you?
What would happen to me in that case?
その場合俺はどうなるんだ
That depends on the result of the duel.
決闘の結果だからな
If you die, you die.
死んでいればそれまでだし
If you barely manage to survive...
辛うじて生きていれば
I guess you'd go back to Nanami on Fushou Island.
どうだろう 七実の待つ不承島に帰ることになるかな
That's...
それは
うーん何だか嫌だな
....not what I want.
You don't want that?
嫌か
But... I guess...
でも そうだな
If you're saying that you could collect swords more easily that way—
その方がとがめの刀集めが順調に進むっていうんだったら
Cheerio!
ちぇりおうっ
Even for me, the tip of a toe hurts!
いや 足の指先はさすがに痛いって
Is that as far as your attachment to me goes?
そなたの そなたのわたしに対する執着というのはその程度か
いいか 七花 わたしはな
Listen, Shichika!
As far as I'm concerned—
Excuse me...
お客様
What is it?
何だ
お客様宛ての書状預かってまいりました
A letter has arrived for you.
A messenger from Azekura?
校倉の使いか
誰からだ
From whom?
I don't know his name, but...
どなたかは存じませんが
he was quite charming.
素敵な人でした
I've accepted many jobs from you, but this is the first time we've met face to face, Togame-dono.
仕事は何度も受けようって言ったが
こうして直々にお目にかかるのは初めてだ とがめ殿
No... Strategian-dono.
いやさ 奇策士殿
This is indeed the first time we've met, but I've heard a lot about you.
ああ 確かに会うのは初めてだが
貴様の話はよく聞いておったよ
真庭忍軍十二頭領 真庭鳥組の指揮官
Commander of the Bird Squad and one of the 12 heads.
You're essentially the Maniwa Corps leader.
実質的な真庭忍軍の頭 真庭鳳凰殿
Maniwa Houou-dono.
I'm certainly not the leader.
頭などと言うことはない それは買い被りだ
You're overstating my position.
I merely took on a provisional directorial role, since I have comparatively more common sense than the others.
比較的常識を兼ね備えたわれが
暫定的なまとめ役を買ってているだけにすぎん
Don't let your guard down.
用心を下るな
この男はほかの１１人の頭領とは明確に一線を画している
This man is in a different league from the other 11 heads.
You have no need to put up your guard.
用心の必要などない 書状にも書いたとおり
As I wrote in my letter, I just want to have a talk with the strategian.
われはあくまで奇策士殿と話し合いをしに来ただけなのだからな
Do you think I can believe that?
信じられるかそんなこと
How many people do you think I've had to bow down my head to in shame because of you?
貴様らのせいで どれだけ不本意に頭を下げることになったと思っておる
And yet you accepted my request and came out to meet me.
だがわれの呼び出しに応じ こうしてここまで来てくれたということは
Doesn't that mean you intend to talk with me?
話し合うつもりがあるということではないのか
真庭忍軍とはなるべくならばかかわりたくないが
I want to avoid any further business with the Maniwa Corps if possible,
but if I know you're around, I can have you removed.
しかしそこにいると分かっていれば それは駆逐の対象だ
I should eliminate that which I can.
退治できるときに退治しておくに限る
腕１本
One arm.
If you listen to what I have to say, I will cut off my left arm for you.
話を聞いてくれるなら
われはこの左腕を自ら斬り落とそう
You can have the arm of one of the 12 Maniwa Corps heads,
話を聞くだけで真庭忍軍十二頭領の
and in your words, the effective leader, just for listening to what I have to say.
それもおぬしの言うところの実質的な頭の腕１本だ
I offer you one arm just to listen, that's all.
あくまでも話を聞くだけでただそれだけで腕１本どうだ
How about it?
どっどうだと言われても
I don't really...
There you go.
このとおりだ
I am also fully prepared to cut off my right arm too, if you'd like.
お望みとあらば右腕を斬り落とすのもやぶさかではないがいかがかな
N-No, that's fine...
いや いいだろう話を聞こう
I'll hear you out.
But you won't mind if Shichika stays, right?
七花は外せないがそれでも構わんな
No, I have no problem with him hearing this.
ああ聞いてもらって構わない
虚刀流七代目当主鑢七花だろう
The 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika, right?
蝙蝠と白鷺それに喰鮫が世話になったはずだ
I believe you were acquainted with Koumori, Shirasagi, and Kuizame.
You're well informed.
よく知っておるな
Well technically—
厳密には
We haven't been able to contact Chouchou, Mitsubachi, or Kamakiri from the Insect Squad.
蝶々蜜蜂蟷螂の真庭虫組三人衆とも連絡が取れなくなっているが
Might that also be your doing?
ひょっとしてそれも奇策士殿たちの仕業かな
No, I don't know anything about that.
いや それは何を言っておるのか分からぬな
I see.
そうか
Either way, this means that in just half a year, the Maniwa Corps heads has lost half its members.
いずれにせよ
真庭忍軍十二頭領もただの半年の間に
半数にまでその数を減らしてしまったというわけだ
奇策士殿を裏切ったわれらの選択は間違っていたのかもしれない
We may have been wrong in betraying you, Strategian-dono.
Well, there was no real choice for our troubled Maniwa village to begin with, but I won't go there.
まあ 困窮した真庭の里に
選択肢などもともとあってなきが如しだったのだが
それは言うまい 残り６人で何とかするしかないだろう
We'll have to make do with the remaining 6 of us.
Do you think you can do it?
できると思うか
No, rather,
いや それ以前に させると思うか
do you think we'd let you?
I don't suppose you would.
させてはくれないだろうな
There is currently a three-way face-off between the sword owners, yourselves, and us.
刀の所有者われら そしておぬしたち
この三竦みの状況下で
For us to continue fighting for the swords would be reckless.
刀集めを敢行するのは無理がある
そこでだ奇策士殿
And that is why, Strategian-dono, I wish to propose a temporary alliance between us.
いったんわれら真庭忍軍と同盟を結ばないか
Alliance?
同盟
わざわざ九州にまで わたしのことをバカにしに来たのか
Did you come all the way to Kyushu just to make fun of me?
You could call it a mere temporary truce.
一時休戦と言い換えてもいい
We wouldn't have had so much trouble if it were that easy.
それができれば苦労はあるまい
同じものを求めておるのだ
We're after the same thing.
It's true that we are both seeking the same thing, but not quite in the same way.
奇策士殿と真庭忍軍は同じものを求めているようでいて実は少し違う
We would be happy to obtain just two or three swords.
われらは究極的には２～３本でも集めればそれでよいのだ
Meaning?
だから
We could just aim for them in the opposite order to that which you are following.
われらはおぬしたちが刀集めのためにたどる道筋の逆方向から進めばよい
現場での衝突をあえて避けようということか
So we'd avoid fighting each other for each sword?
Exactly.
そのとおりだ
情報の足りない今
Given that I'm lacking intel, it's a worthwhile move to leave the Maniwani at large for a while.
真庭をしばらくの間泳がせておくというのは
奇策としてじゅうぶんに成立する
やつらが成功したところで改めて奪えば それはそれでよしか
Even if they succeed, all we'd need to do is steal the swords back from them.
Of course, if these negotiations break down, I'll have to fight with you right here,
無論もしもこの交渉が決裂したなら
われはここでお主たちと戦わなければならないのだが
それは望むところではない
but personally I'd rather not.
Is that a threat?
脅しか
No, it's not a threat...
いいや脅しではない まだ
...yet.
Instant battle if we refuse...
断れば即戦闘か
And against Maniwa Houou, what a creepy guy...
真庭鳳凰 不気味な男だ
I still don't have enough information.
まだ情報が足りない
Soutou Kanazuchi.
「双刀·鎚」
わたしが在りかを知っておる最後の１本だ
That's the last sword I know the whereabouts of.
Of course, that will be the next sword we aim for.
必然 次に狙うはこの刀になるであろう
貴様らはそれ以外の刀を狙えば鉢合わせはない
If you go after other swords, we won't clash.
Alliance formed, then.
同盟成立ということかな
It's not an alliance.
同盟ではない
It's a temporary truce.
一時休戦だ
This helps. Thank you.
助かる ありがとう
陸奥の死霊山 出羽の天童 それに江戸
Mutsu's Mountain of Spirits.
Tendou in Dewa.
And Edo.
There appear to be Perfected Deviant Blades in these three locations.
その３カ所に完成形変体刀があるらしい
Why are you telling me this?
なぜその話をわたしに
Consider it a gesture of gratitude for accepting my one-sided demands.
奇策士殿がこちらの一方的な要求をのんでくれた感謝の印だよ
What is he scheming...
何を企んでいる
And it would appear that Princess Hitei in Owari has begun to move.
尾張で否定姫が動き始めているようだ
否定姫
Princess Hitei?
Wait Houou, what exactly is that woman up to!?
あの女がどう動いておるというのだ 鳳凰
Who knows? But I suggest you deal with it quickly.
さてな
早急に手を打つことを勧めるよ
You have my thanks.
礼を言っておこう
とりあえず 今日のことは信用し直してやるが
For the time being, I'll trust you on today's talk.
But if you break the promise and we run into each other collecting a sword...
約束を違えて刀集めの現場で鉢合わせになった際には
My sword will cut you down without hesitation.
躊躇なくわたしの刀が斬りかかるぞ
委細承知
Understood.
ではまたいずれ
Well then, I'll be off.
Ah yes, there was one more thing.
そうそう あと一つだけ
I heard that you've been hitting your subordinate, followed by saying "cheerio".
おぬしはよく「ちぇりお」と言って 部下を殴っていたらしいな
I'd been thinking something seemed wrong with it, but after coming to Satsuma I've finally figured out what it is.
われは何かおかしいと思っていたのだが
この薩摩に来てやっと分かった
You should be saying "chest".
あれは「ちぇすと」が正しい
"Cheerio" actually means "goodbye" in the language of a foreign land.
「ちぇりお」というのは異国の言葉で「さようなら」という意味だ
N-N...
Nooooo!!
いーいやああー
No, no, no!
違う違う違う
This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!!
誤解だって誤解だってば
Wait, wait, wait a minute!
待って待って待ってちょっと待って 今考えるから
I don't think I'm stupid!
バカじゃない わたしはバカじゃない
I'm not stupid!
I'm not embarrassed! I don't get embarrassed!
恥ずかしくない わたしは恥ずかしいやつじゃないっ
I'm not mistaken!
勘違いなんてしていないっ
H-H-He's the mistaken one!
かかか勘違いをしているのはあいつの方だー
Gyafun!
ギャフンうううわー
Is it that bad?
そこまでのことか
You have it wrong, all wrong!
違うもん違うんだもん
Sh-Shichika!!
し 七花
Yes?
はい
Shichika, Shichika, Shichika, Shichika!
七花七花七花七花
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
You should understand!
そなたなら分かってくれるはずだ
わたしは別に勘違いなどしていない わたしは間違ってなどいない
It's not that I was mistaken!
I'm not wrong!
Um...
ええっと
It was just a once off... once off...
た たまたま たまたまじゃなくて そうだ
No, I mean...
わざとだ
It was deliberate!
D-Deliberate?
わわざとですか
Right, deliberate!
そう わざとだ
Who do you think I am?
わわたしを誰だと思っておる
家鳴幕府預奉所軍所総監督奇策士のとがめだぞ
I'm the army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of the Yanari Shogunate, Togame the Strategian!
Logistics, schemes, war strategies, army plans, I can handle anything!
知略謀略戦略軍略何でも来いのお利口さんだ
There's no way I didn't know that "cheerio" was a foreign word!
「ちぇりお」が外来語だということくらい知らんわけあるまい
I... see...
ははあ
So why were you saying it deliberately?
じゃじゃあとがめさんはどうしてわざとそんなことを言っていたんですか
Because...
それは
Ahh, whatever!
あーもうっ 記憶を失え
Lose your memory!
Forget, forget, forget!
忘れろ忘れろ忘れろー
Even if you tell me to...
いやそんなこと言われても
Besides, don't you think it's embarrassing?
だいたい そなたも恥ずかしいとは思わんのか
Just think, how many times, how many dozens of times have I yelled "cheerio" while punching you up until now?!
考えてもみろ これまでの道中
わたしがいったいそなたを何回
いや何十回「ちぇりお」の掛け声とともに殴ったと思う
W-Well... that's true...
ままあ そうだけど
And each time, watching bystanders were thinking,
そのたびに それを見ていた連中は思っておったわけだ
"Why on earth is that white-haired girl saying farewell while punching someone?"
いったいあの白髪の女は
どうして別れの言葉を口にしながら人を殴っておるのだろうとな
No, I can deal with those!
いや ここまでの道中はいい まだいい
That's still okay!
The problem is after arriving here at Satsuma!
問題はこの薩摩に着いてからだ
例えば昨晩
For example, what do you think that Azekura guy thought when he saw me punch you with a "cheerio!" last night?
あの校倉はわたしがそなたを「ちぇりお」と殴りつけるのを見て
どう思ったと思う
Yeah, you've been using "cheerio" quite often since we got to Satsuma.
ああ 薩摩に入ってからは「ちぇりお」の大盤振る舞いだったもんな
He definitely thought I was an idiot!
バカだと思われたに違いない
The only impression people have been left with is "what an idiot"!
バカだバカだと思われながら放っておかれたのだぞ
Is there any worse disgrace?
こんな屈辱があるものか
Well, I understand where you're coming from...
いや 分かるけどさ
But why does that mean I have to think it's embarrassing?
けどそれでどうして俺も恥ずかしいと思わなくちゃいけないんだ
I might have been the one to say it, but you didn't know it was wrong either!
口にするのがわたしだったというだけで
そなただって知らなかったのであろうが
Well...
いや 実は俺それは知ってた
Actually, I did.
Cheerio!!
ちぇりおー
Local pirates?
ここの海賊か
How about you tell us what you were talking about with them?
あいつらとどんな話をしていたか 聞かせてもらおうか
おびき出したはいいが思いのほか雑魚であったか
Luring them out was fine and all, but they turned out to be small fries...
What?!
What the hell did you say?!
てめえ何を言ってやがる
Count yourselves as fortunate.
おぬしらは幸運だぞ
There aren't many people who can die to my ninpou.
われの忍法で死ねる人間はそうはいない
忍法 断罪円
Ninpou: Danzaien
Captain!
船長ーっ
船長の申し入れ「受けて立つ」っつうことです
They've accepted your proposal, Captain!
おう
Right.
Ryuukyuu
Chest! Chest!
チェスト
Oh yeah, didn't we want a chore boy?
ああ そういえば雑用係が１人欲しかったんだっけ
Polish that armor up nicely.
その鎧よく磨いておけ
5 \years later
Kanara.
必 お前１回あの鎧着てみるか
Why don't you try that armor on?
I had never forgotten.
俺は決して忘れていなかった
That woman...
あの女
Making me remember such unpleasant things...
嫌なこと思い出させてくれるぜ
How effective will Shichika's armor piercing be?
七花の鎧通し
どこまで通用するか
やっぱすげえ人気だ
He really is popular.
I'll tell you this now, Kyotouryuu.
最初に言っておいてやるよ 虚刀流
俺は始まってしまえば手加減はできねえ男だ
I'm the kind of guy who can't hold back once I've gotten going.
You will either die here,
お前は死ぬか死にはしなくても
or if not, definitely sustain some pretty serious injuries.
相当の重傷を負うことになるだろう
だがそれで俺のほれた女が悲しむことになってもせんなき話だ
And if that makes the lady I've fallen for sad, there's no helping that.
If you surrender right after the match starts,
開始後すぐに降参すれば
you'll be able to leave this arena unharmed.
お前は無傷でこの闘技場から出ることができるぜ
七花
Shichika, for this battle...
このたびの勝負だが
If you can, I'd like you to win without killing Azekura or permanently incapacitating him.
できればでいい 校倉を殺さずに
また再起不能となるようなケガを負わさずに勝ってみせよ
What a demand.
無茶を言う
Could Togame possibly be thinking it's okay for me to lose this?
とがめはひょっとして 俺が負けてもいいと思ってるのか
Hey, don't ignore me.
おい よそ見するなよ
否 俺の女を見てんじゃねえよ
No, stop looking at my woman!
その様子じゃ降参はしてくれそうにねえか まあいいさ
It doesn't look like you'll do me the favor of surrendering, but that's fine.
Just put up a fight, okay?
ちょっとは盛り上げてくれよ
Show the townspeople the skills of the man who defeated Sabi Hakuhei.
錆白兵を打倒したってその腕前をこの町の皆さんに見せてくれや
You don't need to tell me that.
言われなくても見せてやるただしそのころには
However, by that point you'll be torn into pieces.
あんたは八つ裂きになっているだろうけどな
あれは宇練銀閣のときの足運びの構え
That's the stance he used when he fought Uneri Ginkaku...
What is he planning to do?
どうする気だ
Let the fight...
いざ尋常に
一撃で決める
I'll finish this in one hit.
...begin!
勝負
He vanished?!
消えた
I'll show you my skills, but I don't intend to put on a show!
腕前は見せてやるが盛り上げてやるつもりはねえ
虚刀流 柳緑花紅
Kyotouryuu: Ryuuryoku Kakou!
He landed it!
決まった
What the hell is that?
何だそりゃ
Gothic!
後如
What's wrong?
どうした
Why can you still move?
どうして動ける
完ぺきに決まったはずなのに
My attack should have landed.
ん お前ひょっとして鎧通しを使ったのか
Did you use an armor-piercing attack, perhaps?
So Kyotouryuu has those too...
虚刀流にもあるんだそういう技
You're underestimating Zokutou Yoroi.
「賊刀·鎧」もなめられたもんだ
悪いがこの鎧は鎧通しを通さねえ もう手詰まりか
I'm afraid Yoroi won't even let armor-piercing attacks through.
Already out of ideas?
Round Gothic!
丸後如
Kaishotai!

What a bad loser, Kyotouryuu.
往生際の悪さもこの上ねえな 虚刀流
It's disappointing to think you're my predecessor.
そんなのが俺の前任者かと思うとがっかりだぜ
You have some nerve to call yourself Japan's Strongest.
それで日本最強を名乗ろうなんてずうずうしいにも程がある
Have the resolve to accept your defeat as Yoroi's prey.
いいからもう覚悟を決めておとなしく鎧の餌食になれよ
Resolve...
覚悟
覚悟って何だ
What is resolve?
刀として校倉の方が優秀ならば
If Azekura is more skilled as a sword, should I concede victory?
むしろ勝ちを譲るべきなのか
Accept it and have the resolve...
このままおとなしく覚悟を決めて
バカーッ
Idiot!!
Togame?
とがめ
What are you doing, giving up?!
何を勝手にあきらめようとしておるのだ
わたしはそなたにそんなことを許可した覚えはないぞ
I don't remember giving you permission to do that!
I told you to win!
わたしは勝てと言ったのだ 聞いていなかったのか このたわけ
Weren't you listening, you fool?
Listen, Shichika.
いいか七花 わたしはな
As far as I'm concerned,
a man who can't even show his face to the woman he's fallen for is worthless!
ほれた女に素顔をさらせんような男に
この身を任せるつもりなどさらさらない
What fun would there be in traveling with a guy I couldn't get into a hot spring with?
共に温泉にも入れんような男と旅路を歩んで
いったい何が楽しいというのだ
There's no way I'd trust a man like that!
そんな男が信用できるかっ
Togame...
とがめ
虚刀流の技がたった一つ通じなかったからどうした
So what if one of the Kyotouryuu techniques didn't work?
So what if you can't use Kyotouryuu here?
虚刀流が使えないから何だ
鎧などなくとも
Even if you don't have armor, you've got that body you forged like steel for 20 years, right?
そなたには２０年間鍛え続けた鋼の肉体があるではないか
If you really have fallen for me,
そなたがわたしにほれているというのなら
力ずくでわたしを守ってみせろ
then protect me with brute force!
Understood, loud and clear.
極めて了解
虚刀流一の構え
Kyotouryuu, first stance: Lily of the Valley.
鈴蘭
How careless of me to lost sight of my simple nature.
俺としたことが自分の単純さを見失っていたぜ
I've been thinking too much lately.
最近はちょっとごちゃごちゃ考え過ぎてた
It's bad not to think things through, but overthinking isn't good either.
考えなしもそりゃまずいが
考え過ぎも良くねえや
来いよ ふられ
Bring it, Mr. Rejected.
俺としちゃあ不本意だったが
I hadn't intended it, but the crowd has seen quite a show already.
しかしもうじゅうぶん盛り上がったろ
Don't get cocky...
調子に乗るなよ
I'm a pirate.
俺は海賊だ
If there's something I want, I just get rid of anything in my way and steal it.
欲しいものがあればあらゆる邪魔者を排除して略奪するだけだ
If you want to steal, then go ahead.
奪いたきゃ奪えばいい
But isn't that Zokutou made for defense?
だけどその賊刀は守るための刀じゃねえのかよ
People with something to protect are strong.
守るものがあるやつは強いんだぜ
完成形変体刀十二本が一本「賊刀·鎧」の限定奥義
This is a technique exclusive to Zokutou Yoroi that was passed down through the Yoroi Pirates.
Touzoku Kamome!
刀賊鷗
Touzoku Kamome
Shichika!
七花
Those with large bodies are strong...
体が大きければ強い
けれど大きい方が強いってわけじゃねえ
But that doesn't mean the bigger you are, the stronger you are!
それでよい
That's the way!
You were relying a little too much on Kyotouryuu.
そなたは少し虚刀流に頼り過ぎだ
It's all you've known for 20 years, so it's not surprising,
２０年間それしか知らなかったのだから無理からぬが
but it's definitely not the only thing you've got on your side.
しかしそなたにはそれしかないというわけではない
小ざかしい技など使わずと
Even without using clever moves, you're more than strong enough with that tempered body of yours.
その鍛えた体だけでそなたはすでにじゅうぶん強い
Damn you, Kyotouryuu!
て てめえ 虚刀流
This isn't swordsmanship or anything!
こんなの剣法でも何でもねえ
You have my thanks, Azekura Kanara.
礼を言わせてもらうぜ 校倉必
Thanks to you, I finally understand.
あんたのおかげで ようやく分かった
My existence may boil down to that of a single sword,
俺の存在そのものがいながらにして１本の日本刀だが
それと同時に１人の人間でもあるってことがな
but at the same time, I'm also a single human being.
だけど校倉
Also Azekura, there's one more thing I want to say.
ついでにもう一つ言わせてもらう
Don't touch my woman!
俺の女に手を出すな
Winner!
決着
Apparently you resemble the Captain's long dead younger sister, Togame-san.
とがめさんは 昔亡くなった船長の妹君に似てらっしゃるそうです
He was saying that if she were still alive, she'd be about the same age as you.
生きていればあなたと同じぐらいの年齢になると
船長はおっしゃってました
How is he?
あいつは
Oh, he didn't sustain any serious injuries.
ええ 大したケガじゃありませんすぐに良くなりました
He was back on his feet in no time.
So he's not going to come to see us off...
見送りには来ないか
まあ なるようになるだろう
Well, what will be, will be.
虚刀流を使わずともそなたはじゅうぶん強いように
Just as you're more than strong enough even without using Kyotouryuu,
Azekura Kanara is more than strong enough without Zokutou Yoroi.
「賊刀·鎧」などなくとも 校倉必はじゅうぶんに強い
Though, I'm sure it'll take some courage for Azekura to show himself in front of others after having been hidden all this time.
まあこれまでずっと姿を隠していた校倉にしてみれば
その中身を人前にさらすのはちょっとばかし度胸がいるだろうがな
You should have gone to see him.
見ておけばよかったのに
I'm not so cruel as to give a rejected man false hopes.
振った相手に希望を持たせるほどわたしも酷ではない
Rather, I think it'd be more polite if I were to leave quickly.
むしろ早々に立ち去るのが礼儀だと思っておる
Really?
そういうものか
Anyway, something's been bugging me these past few days...
それより先日から気になっていることがあるのだが
What?
何だ
How did you know that "cheerio" was wrong?
なぜ「ちぇりお」が間違いだと知っておったのだ
I'd just heard it from my father.
いや 普通に親父から聞いてただけ
Though, you were saying it so boldly that I thought maybe I'd remembered wrong.
あんたがあまりにも堂々と言うから
俺の記憶違いかなって思ってたんだけど
I see.
そうか
ちぇりおーっ
Cheerio!
So she's decided to stick with "cheerio"...
そうか 「ちぇりお」で押し通すことにしたのか
After some time, the two of them will be shocked when they realize the boat's course.
しばらくして ２人は船の進路に驚くことになります
It was Azekura's revenge for being rejected by Togame.
それはとがめに袖にされた校倉の心ばかりの返し
実はこの船は尾張行きではなく
Their boat wasn't actually headed for Owari,
but was set to sail slowly round the Sea of Japan and eventually arrive at the cold lands of Ezo.
ぐるりと日本海を回り 絶対凍土蝦夷に向かうための船だったのです
『刀語』今月こよいのお楽しみは これまでにございます
The story of Katanagatari for this month and this evening ends here.
tasogare zo
Say twilight
黄昏と私を照らすなら
watashi wo terasu nara
If you cast a light on me
心も素直に染めてくれ
kokoro mo sunao ni somete okure
color my heart to become open on this occasion
いつの日か名もなき乙女のように
itsu no hi ka na mo naki kobune no you ni
Someday like a small nameless boat
揺蕩う情けを打ち明けてみたい
tayutau nasake wo uchiake te mitai
I'd like to confess my wavering affection
目の前に現る架空の島へ
me no mae ni arawaru kakugo no shima he
Toward the approaching island where we risk our life
友に行けたいは後の波飛沫など
tomo miuketa ima
At the moment when we took in the scene
ushiro no namishibuki ga tooku natta
the sea spray in the back faded in the distance
船出
優しく触れられると
yasashiku nareru yo to
You can be tender
こんな守るかね
tomo ga noru fune
the boat where my companion is aboard said
この世で一人だけ
konoyo de hitori dake
In the world he is the only one
誠を預けようか
makoto wo azukeyou ka
whom I wonder if I entrust my cordiality to
優しい明日か来る
yasashii asu ga kuru
Gentle tomorrow will come
遥か あなたの
haruka kanata no
in a faraway place
幻 追いかけて
maboroshi oikake te tadoritsuita kaze no mukou ni
where we chased an illusion and reached beyond a wind
辿り着いた風の向こうに
暑い風の向こうに
atsui kaze no mukou ni
Beyond the hot wind
N-No, you've got it wrong!
ち 違う 違うんだもん
I knew that "cheerio" was a foreign word!
「ちぇりお」が外来語であることなど百も承知
I really knew!
承知なんだもん
So forget about this incident!
だからこの件について忘れろ
いいな 必ずだ
Got that? Forget it!
指切りげんまんで奇策士とがめとの約束だ
"Cross your heart and hope to die"
There, you promised Togame the strategian!
さて 次の目的地だが
Now, our next destination...
何！ 蝦夷
What? Ezo?!
寒い 寒い寒い寒い
It's cold!
Cold! Cold! Cold!
I'm dying! I'm gonna die!
死ぬ 死んでしまう
次回 刀語 双刀·鎚 ちぇりお
Next time on Katanagatari: Soutou Kanazuchi.
Soutou
Kanazuchi
Ch-Cheerio!
