Chapter 312
The Book of Fantasia. Fairy Island Chapter. The Girl in the Howling Shoals.
Caption: Whatever dwells is this strange, solitary island?
Boy: ...A./A Sea God?
002
Isma: Sea God or not, it sinks ships and devours people./Which makes for a dreadful, abominable god.
Isidro: ...He/Hehe../That makes it all the more interesting, doesn't it?//Now I'm burning with sudden curiosity!!
Isma: Ah. Wait.
Isidro: I'm gonna look into that, I am!!
Puck: Camera to the front.
Sign: Insert water.
Isidro: Let's find out if there's any truth to that legend!!
Isma: You're gonna get yourself cursed.
Isidro: How do you wanna explore/if you're scared of a curse?!!
Puck's helmet: Fujioka Hiroshi-style.[tn: Japanese action-movies actor (1946- 20--). You can replace with "Chuck Norris-style" to better get the point across.]
Isidro: DAH...
003
*slip*
*bonk*
Isma: Watch your step.
*whip whip*
Isidro: I'm bleeding from the heaaaad./THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE./We're in trouble big time.
Isma: ... Dang it. Really hopeless.//Come./My place is not far. I'll treat you there.
Puck: AC..CHOO
004
Guy: This is uncanny. Somewhat fascinating, though.
Ponytail: This statue is quite unusual.
Shierke: This is the very old statue.../of a god from the ancient times.
Guts: An ancient god.
Blond: Hey!
005
Shierke: As your religious doctrine spread across the world, it was forgotten/and disappeared deep into the realm of the dead. On the Fairy Island, the old traditions have been passed along.
Curls: A god, eh?/*Smells like fish.*/Compared to our God and His angels, it falls a league short in the grace and splendor department.
Iva: Octopus. It's an octopus-god.
Shierke: ........//I'm going to walk around this island for a little bit. You folks go ahead. Carry on to the inn.
Farnese (if memory serves): Master.//Isn't it dangerous to stay on your own?/There might be something on this island...
Shierke: That's precisely what I'm looking for.
Ponytail: Let one of our officers escort you then...
Shierke: You don't have to worry about me.
006
Shierke: Fear not. I am much safer here/than I'll ever be in town.
Ponytail: Is that alright? Letting a child run around on her own, I mean. [tn: Alternatives: "Is that alright? Letting that Boaz kid run around on his\her own, I mean." or "Is that alright? Nevermind the boy, can we let a kid run around on her own?" Pick whichever sounds likely and don't hesitate to modify it for greater coherence. By the time I get up to date with the manga and able to correct this myself, the next chapter will already be out, lol.]
Blond: I'm more worried about our us having less fighting power at hand should anything happen.
Dude: What do you mean, anything? You saying we still haven't seen the end of it?!
007
*sniff sniff*
Isidro: Pheeew. So warm./I'm mighty grateful.//That's some weird firewood. What is it?
Isma: Peat bog.//It's made out of grass that decays in the mud because of the cold./The kind of trees that'd be suitable for firewood doesn't grow on this island.
Isidro: ......
Puck: That's kinda spooky.
Isma: Come on. Let me see your wound.
Isidro: I'm fine. 'Tis nuthin' to worry about.
Puck: If you don't treat it properly, you'll end up with barnacles inside you.*shake*[tn: I don't vouch for the accuracy of that sentence.]
008
Isma: Wow. That's a pretty deep cut.//Stay put./*I can handle this. Just leave it to me.*
Isidro: .......
Puck: Stop one place from bleeding. Watch the blood gush from two other spots.
Isma: It's a salve made out of cooked seaweed. Pretty effective.
Isidro: Ah.//Thank you.
Puck: I'm Puck.
Isidro: Um. The name's Isidro.
009
Isma: I'm Isma./Nice to meet you.//Say. You guys gonna have to get going right away?
Isidro: 'S alright. We're leaving tomorrow...
Isma: Ri...! Right, then! You can stay for dinner!//And after that I wanna hear your stories! About your travels!/What it's like out there!
Isidro: That's fine by me...
Isma: COOL!!//Alright! You can start right now...! ...I mean, don't./Wait up! I'll go prepare the meal.../...So where's that pan again? There it is!
Isidro: That's one hasty, busy girl.
Puck: She kinda reminds me of someone.
010
Dude: Oh, God. Finally we can enjoy a good meal in peace. I couldn't get enough of anything down on that ship.//...That said
011
Dude: It's the only tavern-inn in the village so we don't have much of a choice, but it's still outlandish, and in fairly bad taste... And it smells like fish, too.
Ponytail: I like it. It's as if we were at the bottom of the sea. It's amusing, don't you think?
012
Bartender: Gentlemen. I'm sorry, but could you go inside, fetch some ingredients for me?
Guts: It's fine. I'll go.
Dude: Hey! To think we actually considered staying here for the night! The service stinks.
013
Guts: .......
Shierke: Looks like the disruptive aura that conceals this island is centered around here.[tn: The katakana mention "Odo" or Odd", (whatever that's supposed to be), which is what I translated as "aura", since that's what the Kanji means.]
Iva: Hey. Do you plan on getting in there? Wet and clammy doesn't sit well with me...
Shierke: Feel free to wait for me outside, Ivarella.
Iva: Alright! Let's get going! I'll be your lookout... !/Shierke. Over here...!
014
Shierke: This is...
Iva: Monkey's dagger...![tn: Or "Smartass' dagger...!" I can't do better than that without proper context.]
Shierke: Don't tell me... Isidro-san...!//?!
015
Shierke: That thing.../It was on the ghost ship.......!![tn: Here again, don't hesitate to modify this for coherence if need be.]//...Is it me or is it shrinking? It's still as creepy as ever, though.//But there's no mistaking it. It's the same kind of monster as the one we've met.
Iva: No way. Could they have been eaten by that thing?
Shierke: .......!!/.../Isidro-san
016
Shierke: Duh?
Iva: Shierke!
Shierke: Cra...
017
Isma: THAT'S AAWWESOME!! And what, then?!/What happened?!!
Isidro: A-as I was saying...//I took advantage of the opening created when the arrow was shot to lunge at its chest! On top of which I slipped past its ax as it swung it down/and WHAM. I struck it on the side.
Puck: Your eyes are out of focus.
Isidro: I turned around to finish it with my magic dagger. One hit to the flank!/One massive Boss Troll, dead!
Isma: Wooooow. That's amazing.../...Hey. Was that for real...?
018
Isidro: Alright! Since you're doubting me!/I guess it's about time to let you see some proof!//...WHAT THE HELL?! I only got the scabbard?!/Oh, crap. Did I drop the thing somewhere?!//Wai-wait a minute!/I wasn't just boasting...!
Puck: Just embellished things a little bit.
Isma: I believe you.//You have a fairy following you! So it's not weird at all to imagine you've had all these adventures!/I believe you! It's really an awesome world, out there.
Isidro: ........
019
Shierke: Is this what you're looking for?
*swaaaaayyy*
Isidro: AAAAAUUUUUUUGH
Puck: What kind of seaweed are you?
Shierke: This is a rare item you ought to take care of. Don't go misplacing it.
Isidro: Yes ma'am.//AAARGH. I'M BURNING.//Wh-what's going on? What happened?/You've always been scary, but now it's much worse!!
Puck: It's all his fault!
Shierke: I've had a very bad time, thanks to somebody I won't name!
Iva: That's right! We've been through hell because of some boobies I won't name![tn: Originally it's supposed to be a pun on the words "unpleasant experience" and "erotic sight". They sound kinda similar in Japanese.]
Shierke: ...Ha//*HACHOO*
020
Shierke: AH/Oh no.
Isma: You're friends of Isidro, right?/Judging from your appearance, you've been showered by the waves, like him?/Come warm yourselves up. I don't mind at all!
Shierke: (So that was it!)/...Thanks a lot.
Iva: Wait a minute. What's going on? We're on land now, yet you look like a fish from the deeps!
021
Caption: Just what is this aura Shierke perceives around Isma?[tn: Ditto here. It's that "Odo" or "Odd" thing.]
Shierke: What is she...
