Mahoujin Guru Guru 2

And another one as ill advised as it would be with how unwell I'm feeling. I guess it works out since I dunno when I'll be back to do a third...




Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

Chapter 2: Ancient Castle.
(TN- So, the Japanese name of the castle is “Kodai” which means “ancient”. This is clearly a pun that is above my grade to improve so deal with this literal TL.)
Nike

Kukuri

{A girl of the migu migu tribe who was secretly brought up by an old Witch. She has the ability to wield the legendary “Guruguru” magic.}

002
{Nike and Kukuri have set off on a journey from Plain village toward Ancient castle where all the heroes are gathering!!}
{The Continent of Jemjam}
{Ancient Castle}
{Plain village}
Kukuri: We got there so quickly....
Nike: Kinda nice that it's close by.
Kukuri: This is Ancient Castle....
Nike: Looks like it...
Kukuri: It's...

003
Kukuri: So big!!
{Ancient Castle: This lone castle on this continent is the abode of Ulga the 13th, and the political capital of Ancient kingdom.}
Kukuri: If he lives in such a big castle, the King must be a huge person!!
(Sfx- Waku waku excited)
Nike: Looks like I'm gonna have to teach her how the world works, huh...
So what we do first is leave a few commemorative scribbles on the wall as proof of our tourism.
Kukuri: 'Kay, Hero~
(Handwritten- The Hero wuz here.)
(Handwritten- Kukuri wuz--)
Guard: Hey! Do you have business at this castle?
Nike: Ah right, we saw the sign and stuff, so...
(Sfx- Katsuh katsuh tap tap)
(Sfx- Kyoro kyoro glance)
Guard: If that's the case you have to come this way.
Ugh, country bumpkins....
(Sfx- Fuhh haaah)
Guard: Wait in this room, please.

004
(Sfx- Doooon boooom)
(Sfx- Dodoooon baboooom)
Nike: Th---
This is...
(Sfx- Gaaaaaan whooom)
Nike: A fancy masquerade?
Guard: Don't be stupid! They're the same as you –aspiring heroes!!
They're warriors from all around the country who saw the official notice and are hoping to make a name for themselves!
It's only natural that they come wearing their best armor!
(Sfx- Zuuuunn doooom)

005
{Hero became depressed!}
Dude: Pfft, this is rich....what is this, a poverty party?
{Warrior Gale: LV8}
Lady: Stop that Gale.
{Magic User Ena: LV7}
Gale: Hmph, well it's all good. Obviously I'm...
The real hero here.
Kukuri: Mr. Hero!!
There's space over here, Mr. Hero!
C'mon, hurry up Mr. Hero!!
Someone: That's a hero?
No way, I'm the hero.
No, it's me!
(Sfx- Hiso hiso hiso hiso whisper whsiper)
{Hero became petrified.}
(Sfx- Kakiiiiin clang)

006
Kukuri: C'mon! What are you doing, Mr. Hero?!
Mr. Heroooo?!
Dudes: Yessssssss?
(Sfx- Muuunnn)
Kukuri: Kyaaah! A storm of creepy faces!!
Someone: His Highness has arrived!
(Sfx- Guwaaaan booooong)
Ulga: Well met, Ladies and Gentlemen. I welcome you all to Ancient castle.
{King of Ancient kingdom: Ulga the 13th.}
Ulga: I'm sure you all know that this world came into being as a part of two planes.
One of which is the plane of reality....
and the other the plane of magic!
(Sfx- Kokkuri kokkurii nodd nodd)

007
(Sfx- Gachaaan clatter)
(Sfx- chaahh shffft)
(Sfx- Muhh)
Kukuri: S—sorrry....
Nike: Our bad.
(Sfx- Karaanrararnanan clatterclatterclatter)
(Sfx- Jiiii staaaare)
Ulga: Ahem. As I was saying, if the “Magical plane” is unsettled....
They're quite strange...
Ulga: Then it will have an influence on the plane of reality and the balance that maintains the world will crumble.
Kukuri: Ugh....I can't do this...
(Sign- Big fish)
Kukuri: I get totally lost when the conversation gets serious...
(Sfx- kokkuri kokkuri nodd nodd)
(On boat- Ss. Doze)
Nike: Dude, just hang in there.
Kukuri: Mmm, gotta stay focused...
{Warning, this is Kukuri's visual.}
Ulga: However in recent times, a conjurer by the name of “Giri the demon king”....
Has been witnessed taking ghastly measures....
(Sfx- Kune kune tap tap)
(Sfx- Powaaan fwaaaah)

008
Ulga: Which grow in intensity each day that passes!
(Sfx- Donko donko donko thrrm thrrm thrrm)
Ulga: He has also stepped into the “plane of darkness” and drawn forth it's power!!
(Handwritten- Darkness)
Kukuri: Ahahaha...
Nike: Hey Kukuri!!!
Kukuri: Hm? What happened to me?
(Sfx- Yusa yusa shake shake)
(Sfx- Suuunn swfft)
Nike: Whoa!
Gale: You two....

009
Gale: I thought you were country bumpkins so I let a lot go, but I can't forgive this anymore!
Ena: Stop it Gale, just calm down!
Kukuri: Say, isn't that lady really pretty?
Nike: Bad timing much?
Kukuri: Bleeegh! He's the hero here, not you!
Gale: Izzat so?
Then why don't we have ourselves a little match to see who the true hero is?
Kukuri: He was hoping you'd ask!
(Sfx- Zuuu sffft)
Guard: Hey! You're standing before his majesty!!
(Sfx- Zawa zawa)
Ulga: No, leave them be.
Those children came from Plain village it seems....
If that's the case then....
(Sfx- Kiraaah gleeam)

010
(Sfx- Doooon booom)
(Sfx- Kooon gulp)
Ulga: This is the hero!!
Kukuri: But they haven't even fought yet!!
Gale: Hmph! The quickest way to know who's the real deal is through a fight! Let's do this!
(Sfx- Baaahh fwaaap)
(Sfx- Dadadadadada Tmptmptmtmp)
Nike: Whoa, just a--
(Sfx- Buuun fwhoop)
(Sfx- Hyoii hop)
(Sfx- Bashii tok)
Nike: Minute!!
(Sfx- goooon thoom)

011
(Sfx- Sutoohh tok)
???: Gale was defeated by a child...
I can't believe it!
You're amazing, kid!
Nike: Huh, guess Dad's training came in handy after all....
(Sfx- Pyuuh pyuhh whisttle)
Ugla: He's the hero I seek!
Kukuri: Victory!! Mr. Hero! Victory!!
(Sfx- Bisshiii pose)
(Sfx- Yoroohh wobble)
Gale: I won't accept this!!
(Handwritten- Nose bleed)
Gale: If you're really a hero, show me proof!!
Ulga: Hmph, I suppose you have a point.
Bring me the “box” at once.
(Sfx- Zawa zawa)
(Sfx- Garagara clatter)

012
Ulga: This is the “Ranyaranka”, a mysterious box used to further probe a hero's merits.
{Ranyaranka: Magical item.}
Ulga: Inside is a vapor that embodies oneself.
If one places their hand inside, that embodiment vapor will change form.
(Sfx- Zuutshhh shfft)
Gale: Excellent, I shall go first.
If I am truly a hero then...?
(Sfx- Zuboohh ploof)
Ulga: If you are a hero, then you will be able to draw a “sword”.
Gale: There's no way I'll be beaten by some brat!
Sword, heed me and come forth!
(Sfx- Shiiiiin)

013
Gale: Uoraaaaaaagh!!
Dammit, I was hoping for a sword, not scissors, or paper or rock for that matter!
(Sfx- Zopooohh plooop)
(Sign- Rock/Scissors/Paper.)
Ulga: What a shame.
(Sfx- Kukuuhh pupupphh heheheh...snicker)
Gale: Uugh....then I'm not a hero?
(Sfx- Kusu kusu heheheh)
Gale: And the proof is this pun, apparently...
(TN- In Japanese “Ken” is sword, and Rock, paper, scissors is “JanKEN”.)
Ena: It's not like that Gale, you can still do more training, right?
Gale: Ena...
(Sfx- Poon pat)
Gale: I'm sorry Ena....I'll do better.
(Sfx- Shinnn sillence)
Kukuri: What a touching story...
Nike: Glamorous hotties are awesome.
Ulga: Now then, it's your turn.
Nike: Huh? I gotta do this too?
Ulga: Of course.
Nike: I guess so if I have to...
(Sfx- Zuboooh ploof)

014
(Sfx- Zumooooooooh fwhoooooom)
(Sfx- Zuzmomomomomo fwhooooooom)
Ulga: Th—this is...
A sword! And an incredible one at that!!
(Sfx- Dooon thom)
(Sfx- Tatatata taptaptap)
Kukuri: Mr. Hero!
(Sfx- Zawazawa)

015
Nike: I'm fine...
(Sfx- Shuuuhhh wfhooom)
(Sfx- shiinnn*)
Ulga: This is the first time I've seen a sword like this....
What's going on here and why, my priest?!
Priest: That boy holds an unheard of power...but is it that of light?
Or is he affiliated with darkness?
Ulga: The plane of darkness? There's no way we can acknowledge one like that as a hero---
Priest: If I may have a word, my liege!
The “Demon King Giri” uses the energy born of the darkness plane.

016
Ulga: An eye for an eye is it?
Quite the perilous gamble...
But for now, we'll name you our hero!!
(Sfx- Ooooh!!)
Nike: Wut?
Kukuri: You're the hero, Mr. Hero!
Nike: I'm a hero?
Frreal?!
I'm really a hero!?
(Sfx- Pachi pachi pachi Clap clap clap)
(Handwritten- One two, one two!)
Kukuri: That's right, you really are Mr. Hero!
Priest: He's apparently so taken aback by this that he began dancing.
Ulga: This gamble really is dangerous...
{“The pop goes the sword” case would be the beginning of Nike's fearsome destiny!}
