Buster Keel Chapter 4

Page 1

-The party that will burst the world. The moment to "start" has come!!

Page 2

-You seem pretty stupid to have allowed a monster to eat your secret information, old man.
-You were the one who wrote it down, so you should be able to remember it.
-If I was able to remember it then I wouldn't need to write it down.

Page 3

-Besides, if you are going to sell it then don't you need to be able to call on it at
any time. You should take better care of it.
-I've still got my pride you know. Don't say that I've forgotten that.
-Sorry to make you wait!!
-Ahh~~ It was a nice bath
-(small handwritten text) Ah, what a nice guy
-You took so long Ravi. How long were you planning on staying in there!!
-It's a bath, you're meant to take your time.
-Bastard, where were you!? You weren't in the men's bath!!
-I didn't want to get in with a bunch of ugly, stinky guys so I went to the private
open air bath.
-What was that, you jerk!!
-Don't fight!

Page 4

-Now then, it's about time I shared some information with you.
-Yeah! Tell me where Siva is!!
-How to explain that...
-Siva is "invisible"
-Invisible
-It's a word we use in the information broker world to refer to something that has been missing.
-Invisible...he's a man who you will struggle to find.
-So that means we still have to do more work!!
-If I was just a common information broker then you wouldn't have anything else to go on and your journey would be over,
-Eh?

Page 5

-But I'm Shiton's Number 1 Information Broker!
-I don't know where he is right now but...
-on this piece of rice
-The Great Monster User Siva, 35 years old this year, travelled to the five corners of the world, a genius adventurer...
-That man lives in a run down slum of a house in the south west of Wanmero!
-Heh heh, nobody would think that such an important guy would be living in such a place, am I right!?
-What's up with those faces!!!

Page 6

-I'm Siva's disciple, so I already know about that house.
-(small hand written text)We've already been there
-You're lying!!
-No Way
-So much for "But I'm Shiton's Number 1 Information Broker"!
-(small handwritten) Oink~
-Kii
-Well then I've got one more thing that I can tell you!!
-It's not what Siva's favourite colour is or something like that, is it?
-Of course not!
-The location of where Siva's master lies!!
-North of here is a town called Sunshine Stay. Siva's Magical Melody Master is
probably found there.
-(handwritten) Shiton (bottom town) Sunshine Stay (top town)

Page 7

-So we'll find Siva's Master
-If we meet him then we might be able to find something out!!
-Let's go!!
-Keel!!
-It's evening already!! We'll go in the morning, the morning!!
-Fee fee
-Uooh, Sunshine Stay!!
-So then, next up is the information you were looking for.

Page 8

-The Next Day
-Kyaa!!!
-What's wrong Ravi, oink!?
-I can't find the money I put away anywhere~~~
-Good Morning!!
-Iii!! I've bought some new breakfast for us
-(small handwritten) And a Banana Parfait (TN- I found out how to spell parfait
correctly, the parfee from chapter 3 was meant to be a parfait)
-How did you pay for it?
-I used your money!
-Moron!!

Page 9

-What's up Ravi-chan, you look kind of scary.
-Ohoho, nothing is wrong at all.
-Are you okay, oink?
-Ravi-chan, about the 4 Sacred Treasures...
-Those are also what we call invisible, and since they are invisible...
-They're a legend, and so there is a lot of mistaken information about them. It's hard to tell what part of the information is true or not...

Page 10

-You've helped to give us a clue as to where to find Siva, so that's more than enough!
-Is that right...so then what will you do from here on? Head to Sunshine?
-No, actually...
-This brain dead idiot used up all of our travel money
-Hmph!!
-Fee fee, I guess that puts a speed bump in your plans.
-I said I would pay you back didn't I!
-That doesn't make it better
-Don't be such an annoying person!
-An annoying person...shut up, shut up!!
-Come to think of it, I know someone who you should get introduced to.

Page 11

-Everyone is an adventurer like Ravi, oink?
-Seems like it.

Page 12

-Ah, here are some new faces.
-Adventurer Guild, Shiton Branch Chief, Pannaccota
-Who are you, old lady?
-Call me Madame!
-Madame Pannaccota, the Branch Chief of the Shiton Branch!
-You're Pannaccota-san!?
-Here's a letter from Gomejii-san...
-Hey Pannaccota, give these kids some work! These kids are super strong! PS Is the "Boing boing" still alive and well, gehehe, Gomeji (TN-"Boing boing" refers to
breasts)

Page 13

-Buu!!
-She burned it!!?
-What kind of relationship do you Madame Donnaccota and the old man have?
-It's Pannaccota!! Gomejii was my man a long time ago!
-That's the old man!!!
-So pretty!!
-I can give you some work, but have you registered your party yet?
-Oh, come to think of it
-OK, I've registered Keel and Ravi together. / What is your party called?
-Magic Machine, Magic Computer, Price: 8,500,000 Zeni

Page 14

-Ravi Melody!
-Buster Keel!!!
-The "We Love Potato Chips" Group!!
-Oink!!
-Scis~~sors, pa~~per..
-Hurry it up please
-OK, "Buster Keel" it is.
-(SFX)*type type*
-Now to check your party level.
-Party level?
-So you don't even know about that.
-Adventurers have different levels.
-Level? Like how strong you are?
-The Guild decides it based upon how skilled they feel the adventurer is.
-(Bottom guy) Level 10, Want to become an adventurer
-(middle arrow) Complete work for the guild!
-(top guy) Level 30, I've done lots of work!!
-If you do work for the guild then your level will be increased.
-(speech bubble) The party level is given by taking the average level of all the
members in your party.
-(top row right to left) Party Level, average, Level 10, Level 20, Level 30, 3 person party
-(middle row right to left) Party Level, average, Level 10 Level 20, 2 person party
-(bottom row right to left) Part Level, Level 10, 1 person party
-(bottom part) If there is a decimal point then it is rounded up or down

Page 15

-The guild only gives work out to the appropriate level party.
-So for example if your party is level 10 then you can get work between level 0-10. If your party is level 30 then you can get work between level 0-30.
-Ravi-chan, your level is still only 10.
-Yes, I've still only just started out.
-Ravi is level 10 already!!
-When you become an adventurer everyone starts from level 10.
-So then, next up is Keel's level...
-Y-you, this level is
-Yeah, what is it!?
-Level 0
-A weakling!!?

Page 16

-You haven't completed any work for the guild even once. Infact you still have a

criminal record remaining.
-(handwritten)Although it was only an eat and run
-Eiher you haven't completed any work for the guild or you've failed. / If it looks
like your Adventurers grade has dropped then your level will be lowered as well. You have to remember that.
-(handwritten) At least you weren't disqualified
-I don't understand that!!
-(handwritten) I'm lower than Ravi!!
-It's only natural for someone who didn't even know the meaning of the word guild~~
-But doesn't that mean that our party level is...
-(handwritten) Calm down oink~~
-It's Level 5. There isn't any work available for a level 5 party though.
-If you were able to get one more adventurer with a high level able to join your
party, / then the party level would be increased and you would be allowed to get all sorts of work.
-One more person...
-Make me level 100...
-Hmm!?

Page 17

-Bull!!
-Oink!!
-What the hell are you doing here bastard!!
-Nothing much...I just came to see if there was any work.
-This is unbelievable~~...
-The Magic Warrior Bull is level 44!
-Kee
-Bull, that's amazing
-He's one of only two people in the guild than can use "Suireiki" (TN-Water Spirit
Demon)
-I think I saw the name Bull in a book recently.
-It was in the Young Talent Ranking section of the "Monthly Adventurer"
-Monthly Adventurer, Contains lots of information about adventurers. Price: 500 zeni
-Being on of only the two people allowed~~ That's pretty impressive
-(handwritten) Thanks
-Bull, would you like to form a party with us?
-Eh?

Page 18

-Since we are only level 5 we can't get any work... / So I was wondering~~?
-What are you saying!!
-Level 0 people should shut up!!
-Uu!!
-I usually work alone...
-(handwitten) Please, oink~
-How about if you just work together this one time?
-(handwritten) How about with us!?
-(handwritten) No, with us
-Although we don't really need to do a party registraion, you can form a special party for just this one time.
-Besides, if a lady is counting on a nice guy like you then refusing would be a
terrible thing to do.
-Ahh...
-(handwritten) Dumbass
-I understand, I'll do it just this time.
-Thank god!!
-Oink
-Kee!!

Page 19

-And with that our party level was increased (all the way to 18), so we finally headed out to do some work!!
-(top right city) Shiton (bottom left city) Adams Town
-Being intoduced to Pannaccota-san allowed us to get a job as escorts for someone who was searching for a treasure.
-We headed east from Shiton until we arrived at a large tree, where we waited to meet him.
-Looks like you got sick riding the carriadge again!!
-It's about time that he arrived...
-Buu
-Bastard!!
-Stop, oink!!
-I'm sorry for being late!

Page 20

-Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Thomas!!
-Thomas
-You're Thomas-san, the one who made the request!?
-Th, that's right.
-Waah!!
-Thomas-san!!
-Ahaha, It's kind of hard to move while wearing armour.
-Let me introduce myself one more time, I'm Thomas! Please treat me well!
-Oh no, the pleasure is all mine.
-What treasure are you searching for?

Page 21

-Please escort me to Adams Town's Remains!
-Adams Town's remains?
-There is a treasure there right?
-(handwritten) You aren't like Gomejii right
-Well it isn't exactly treasure...
-(handwritten) Though I'm not Gomejii
-The "Proof of Lordship"...!
-EH!?
-The person who retrieves the Proof of Lordship from the remains is able to become the next head of the Adams Family
-Charles
-Thomas, a brat like you who can only run from fights should know his place!
-Charles-san...

Page 22

-Huh, those guys are some adventurers that you've hired!?
-Ye, yes. I decided to hire the 4 of them to escort me to the remains...
-You trash!
-People who need to rely on other's strength aren't fit to become the next lord!!!
-I'm going to do it myself, because I'm different from trash like you.
-Cha, charles-san...
-Weak guys make weak warriors no matter how hard they try, Haa haa haa.
-What the hell!!
-Keel!!
-What's up with him.

Page 23

-Charles-san is my cousin.
-Since my father died he has been aiming to become the next head of the Adms Family.
-Are The Adams Family are the lords of Adams Town?
-Yes, that's right.
-But if you are his son then shouldn't you become the next lord...?
-The Adams Family has changed recently...
-It's now decided that the person who reclaims the proof of lordship from Adams
remains is to become the next lord.
-Charles-san is smart and good at fighting, so the townsfolk think that he should become the next lord.
-And besides, he moves much better in armour than I do, and he calls me things like trash. I'm the type of person who can't object to that.
-What a weak atmosphere.
-But...

Page 24

-I won't let go of / the Seat of Adams Family
-Although I really can't move well, and I can't mount a horse...
-You just let all the tension go to waste.
-If we don't hurry then won't we let that Charles guy get ahead of us.
-Oh yeah, I'm sorry everyone. Please hurry!

Page 25

-Haa haa... I'm sorry... / Cough
-Are you okay?
-We only ran for a little while.
-What do we do to open this door...?
-Ye, yes, that door has a trick to it.
-You need a special Adams Family spell to open it.
-Like an "Open Spell", oink!?
-I guess that was the Open Spell...

Page 26

-Everyone please take care because monsters will come out if you talk.
-you should calm down anyway.
-Oink, a monster, oink!!
-Hii!!
-It's a Kreig Egg, an F class monster
-What a weakling! I'll send him flying to the next world.

Page 27

-Hii
-Gaa
-Gaa
-Ugyaa
-"Fairy Sleep"

Page 28

-Amazing, just as expected from an adventurer!!
-Oh well, you know
-I'm pretty pathetic in comparision, ahaha.
-If you are such a pathetic guy then why do you want to become the next lord...?
-Bu, Bull
-Ahaha, I guess you're right...
-The previous lord, my father...he was such an upstanding person.
-He had power, he was smart, and was well liked.
-Truly an amazing person.

Page 29

-I want to become different, like my father...
-I see
-Fuga
-What are those faces?
-They are all the different lords from the history of our family.

Page 30

-Father...
-What's written here, oink.
-Hm!?
-"Those who want to become the lord should press me with their hand"
-Thomas, do it!
-Ah, okay...

Page 31

-What's this!?
-It looks like this whole room is being covered by a magic square
-Hm!?
-The time for testing has come...

Page 32

-I am the Guardian of the Proof of Lordship...
-The heart of the person who wants the Proof of Lordship needs to be strong. I will...

Page 33

-Test it!!!
-Hii!!
-Uwaa!!
-It isn't very nice of you attacking all of a suddem.
-Why aren't you jerks doing anything!!
-It looks like my magic has been sealed...
-Uh huh...
-Haa?

Page 34

-You have challenged me for the "Proof of Lordship"!!
-Ua!!
-What's going on!!?
-The floor!!
-The magic square on the floor is sealing away both my magic melody and Bull's magic as well!!
-Tch, so that means I can't use my Dragon Ape right arm.
-What will you do oink, Keel!!?
-Kee! I don't need my arm to take down this guy...

Page 35

-Infinity Burst!!!
-Gaa!!
-Gyaa, his head flew off!!
-How's that, he didn't even land a hit on me. So much for that! Kya kya kya
-Keel, behind you!!
-Eh?

Page 36

-Kuu!!?
-What the!!?
-You've challened...me...
-He's still able to move even though he doesn't have a head, he's even able to talk, oink~~!! / A monster, oink!!
-No, that thing is...

Page 37

-It's magical armour that is able to move. If the magic is broken then it won't be able to receive any signal, and the armour won't be able to move...
-Hm!
-Do you want me to do it, Injury-san.
-Thanks for the offer but I can do it myself, dumbass!!
-Looks like sending him flying won't work, so I'll break him instead...!!

Page 38

-Let's go, Monster Arm!!!
-What kind of martial arts is he going to perform...?
-No, It's the first time I've seen him take that stance too...
-The thing that I took from his teaching... / One Blow Hissatsu Infinity Flowing...

Page 39

-Cannon!!!

Page 40

-Fuuaa!!
-Funky!!

Page 41

-Now you can take the proof from him that you need.
-Oh, yes!
-Very good work.
-I'll be taking the Proof of Lordship now.
-Charles-san!!
-Thanks to you I had a much easier time getting past all those monsters and this
armour as well.
-You asshole, you were late on purpose...!!

Page 42

-Too bad for you, you trash!!
-Now the Proof of Lordship is mine!!
-Freeze you dickhead... / !!
-I won't give it up...
-Ah?

Page 43

-Get your hands off me!!
-Tsuu!!!
-You piece of shit!! This Lordship Treasure isn't something for a piece of filth like
you!!
-(SFX)*Grab*
-You bastard...!!
-I would become different...
-I made a promise to...

Page 44

-Father...
-Thomas I'm sorry...I'm the lord but I...
-I feel like I'm leaving you and the townsfolk behind...I'm too weak...
-It's okay
-I'll become an amazing lord just like my father... / I'll protect everyone in the
town!! So that's why...it's okay...
-I see...in that case...I feel...at ease...

Page 45

-I won't give up!!
-Shut your mouth!!
-The proof of lordship is mine!!!
-Sorry but, we'll be the ones taking that treasure.
-Eh!!!?

Page 46

-Now hand it over...
-To us!!
-(sidetext) A test after another test!? The fate of the scramble for the "proof"!!
-Nii
