Translation: Houkago Wind Orchestra 1

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 03:51:53 +0000

Hi, introducing a new series here, Houkago Wind Orchestra (After-school Wind Orchestra) from JUMP SQ. Looks like there's a translation out there already, but what the heck, I did it so. :P Since I was personally a member of a Wind Orchestra club in Japan too, I'm excited about the series. There's some mentions of competitions and whatnot, so if you think more information is sufficient just mention it and I'll probably be able to answer.

You can find the raw here: http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27884

I'd love it if someone would give it a glance and proofread it, thanks. I'm pretty sure about the accuracy but I think there might be a few grammar errors and other tidbits.

You can use them for scanlations, only if you ask me first. First come first serve. ;)

P1

彼の名前は平音よしとし　15歳
この春から高校生
His name is Yoshitoshi Heion, 15 years old.
He is entering high school this spring.

中学時代の趣味は睡眠
特技は授業中気配を消すこと（お陰で当てられた例しがない）
成績は中の下　帰宅部
Since his middle school years, his hobby is to sleep.
His talent is to erase his presence during class (thanks to this, he has never been called on by the teacher).
His grades are at the bottom end of the middle rank. A member of the Going-Home Club.

ようはおおよそ濃ゆい青春を送るタイプではなく
Basically, he is not the type to carry out an exciting youth life.

―それは彼自身自覚するところ
-That is something he is already aware of.

しかし奇しくも彼の親友は言った
But strangely, his best friend had told him,

人生一歩先では何が起こるかわからないことだと
You never know what'll happen one step ahead in life.

Katsura: -So

Katsura: The government's recent moves...

?: Hey, did you see yesterday's 'Summer Sonata'?
(*Summer Sonata: Obvious reference of 'Winter Sonata', a korean drama aired in Japan that became extremely famous between the Japanese.)

Katsura: The government's

?: Really is amusing.

Katsura: recent

?: The main character's smile is just amazing.

?: Lend me the video next time.

Katsura: The

Katsura: re

Katsura: That's enough!!

Katsura: This is a place to set the world to rights!! It is not a sewing circle!!!

P2
Katsura: Anyway, what is this!? This 'Summer Sonata'.

?: I-I'm sorry. It's, um, this popular NH star TV drama...

Katsura: Being manipulated by foreign media! And you call yourselves a supporter!?

Katsura: Fine!! I'm going home!

?: Wait Katsura-san!!

?: We're sorry Katsura-san!!

?: Katsura-saaaaaaaaan!!

Katsura: Excuse me.

Katsura: Is the video of 'Summer Sonata' released already?

P3
Shop: There's the first two volumes

Katsura: I'd like to have it.

Shop: We're a rental shop, we don't sell.

Katsura: Rental? I don't really get it, but I'll leave it to you.

Katsura: I can't catch up on the recent topics.

Shop: Are you a member?

Katsura: I am Katsura not Member.

Shop: You can't rent a video unless you become a member.

Shop: If you'd like you can make one. Do you have some identification?

Shop: Like a student card.

Shop: Oh hey brother, don't you have something like a drivers license?

Katsura: A drivers license?

P4

Gintoki: Excuse me

Gintoki: Looks like I'm here again.

Teacher: It's not "Looks like I'm here again."

Teacher: Sakata-san, how many times do you have to come here until you're satisfied?

Teacher: What is it? What did you do this time?

Gintoki: Sorry, it's just that, you know, there was this ninja, and, like, I kind of ran it down a little, and, like, they, uh, took away my license.

Teacher: How can you run down a ninja who can run faster then a car? It's the chances of a meteorite crashing onto Earth.

Gintoki: It's the tribute of your teaching.

Teacher: I didn't teach you, why are you casually trying to make it my fault?

P5

Teacher: Remember I told you, no "probably" driving. "It'll probably be alright", "No one will probably bolt out into the road"

Teacher: You won't be able to respond fast enough with that kind of attitude. I told you to go with "might" driving!

Teacher: "A ninja might suddenly appear", "That ninja might make a right turn"

Teacher: With that kind of attitude, you'll be able to respond fast, right?

Teacher: Ok, so get into the passenger seat. What you lack is attentiveness, not technique.

Teacher: Watch someone else drive from the side and improve your attentiveness.

Teacher: Alright, today will be a joint lesson.

Katsura: Hello, I'm space captain Katsuura.

Katsura: It's a pleasure.

<Chapter 125: Go with "might" driving>

P6

SFX: CRASH!

Teacher: Sakata-san, didn't I tell you to go with "might" driving?

Teacher: "The joint lessons partner might be a space captain", you've gotta go with that kind of attitude.

Gintoki: Oh, sorry, I was just a bit surprised.

Teacher: Katsuura-san, get on quickly.

Teacher: Remember to check your surroundings before you get on.

Katsura: Yes, sir. A ninja might be clinging underneath the car.

Gintoki: The car might suddenly accelerate when checking.

Katsura: ACK

Katsura: A ninja might be playing hide-and-seek behind the car.

P7

Gintoki: The car might begin to back up.

Katsura: OOF

Katsura: That's enough!! I'm serious about getting a license!!

Teacher: Katsuura-san is here to get a license because he wants to become a member of a video rental shop.

Gintoki: What part is serious about that!? I'm here to get back my license seriously, too! Under no circumstances do I want to deal with him! Do something, teacher!

Teacher: Two people who are on bad terms

Teacher: might have to ride together.

Teacher: Right?

Teacher: It's "might" driving, you two.

Teacher: Prepare for all kinds of circumstances and try your best to drive tactfully, safely, and smoothly.

Teacher: Yes, that's good Katsuura-san. That's nifty handle work, for a first timer.

Teacher: But you're putting on a little too much speed.

Teacher: Slow down when approaching a curb.

P8

Gintoki: You're too tense. Don't lean on the handle so much.

Gintoki: Your visual range is just going to get restricted. Lean back a bit.

Katsura: I might... be tense right now.

Gintoki: What kind of "might" driving is that!? And that's not a "might", you're completely tense!

Gintoki: HEY! It's dangerous, slow down!

Teacher: Sakata-san, step on the breaks. The instruction cars have breaks in the passenger seat too.

SFX: bump

!!

Katsura: There might be...

Katsura: a bomb somewhere set by a terrorist to explode if you go slower then 50 kilo!

Gintoki: What kind of elaborate "might" driving is that!? And you're the terrorist!

P9

Gintoki: Hey teacher!! What are we gonna do!? This is why I said no way!

Gintoki: He's absurdly serious, that's why these things happen!

?: An S-curve!!

?: He doesn't care!!

Katsura: On the S part of the S-curve

Katsura: there might be

Matsuko: It's become such a lonely table.

Matsuko: ...I would have liked to show Natsuko-san in her wedding dress to mother, too.

Matsuko: She was very beautiful.

P10

Father: Whacha saying, stupid, daughter's ain't nothin'.

Father: No matter how much you cherish and raise them, they go to others. Absolutely heartless.

Matsura: Oh

Matsuko: Don't you have a daughter right here,

Matsuko: Father?

Father: ...Matsuko-san,

Father: It's not too late, why don't you look for someone?

Father: Even though you're my sons wife, now my son is dead and gone.

Father: You have no obligations to take care of a geezer like me, when we aren't connected by blood.

Father: You've got a good nature and look. There'll be a lot of good partners for you out there.

Father: There's no need to concern yourself with me. I can manage by myself.

Matsuko: ...No one would want an old lady like me.

Matsuko: Father, do you want to get rid of me that much?

P11

Father: Er... No, that's not it,

Matsuko: Fufu... If I get any offer, I'll leave this old house as soon as possible.

<Despite her wry comments, the woman wouldn't leave.>

<Everyday she would take care of me, chiding me.>

Man: Why don't you give it up already?

Father: ?

Man: Are you saying that you still have regrets over your dead husband?

Man: It's 7 years already, shouldn't you walk your own life now?

Man: You can take a new step forward with me already.

Matsuko: ...I am always walking my own life.

Matsuko: I'm not living in this house because of a stupid thing like regret.

Man: Then why, are you saying that there's... someone else?

P12

Matsuko: For me

Matsuko: There is father.

Matsuko: We aren't connected by blood

Matsuko: But he is my father...

<- that kind of>

<family of moles under the the ground of the S-curve>

Katsura: living there...

Gintoki: Of course not!!! And that was unnecessarily long!!

P13

Gintoki: It's not "might" driving or anything else anymore!! It's just some kind of delusion!!

Teacher: Good job on stopping it Sakata-san. Come to a halt before a crossing.

Gintoki: Why are you crying?

Teacher: Ok, open the window.

Gintoki: Er, there's no window anymore.

Teacher: It's "might" driving here too.

Teacher: "A train might come", "The crossing might come down". Please check yourself with your ears.

Teacher: Although since this is a lesson, no trains will come. There are no railroads either.

Teacher: Just follow the formalities right now.

!!

Katsura: No, wait!!

Katsura: ...hear.

Katsura: I can hear.

Katsura: I can hear the sound of the train coming!!

Gintoki: No, we can't.

Katsura: No, I can!! And the sound of the crossing coming down!!

Katsura: I hear it clearly!!

Gintoki: Hey, this is bad, someone call the doctor!!

Katsura: No...

Katsura: That's...

Katsura: Fatheeeeeeeeer!!

P15

Father: If I wasn't here

Father: Matsuko would be happy...

<It might not be>

<too late yet>

P16

Gintoki: ..............

Katsura: You idiot!!

Katsura: What do you think you're doing!! You were about to die!!

Katsura: What's going to happen if you die!? Are you saying that's what Matsuko wishes for!?

Gintoki: ..............

Katsura: Matsuko will never be happy with me. (Katsura Falsetto)

Katsura: ...It's better off with me gone. (Katsura Falsetto)

Katsura: If I wasn't here, Matsuko would be free of the bond called me. (Katsura Falsetto)

P17

Katsura: That isn't true, father. (Katsura Falsetto B)

Katsura: You are Ma... (Katsura Falsetto)

Teacher: ...Sakata-san.

Gintoki: Yes?

Teacher: It might be good not to do might driving anymore.

Gintoki: That might be right.

P18

Katsura: -So, about the government's recent intents... we'll discuss later.

Katsura: The other day I happened to come across the chance to watch a TV drama called "Summer Sonata"...

?: Hey, did you see yesterday's "Jang Gamu's Embarassment"?
(*Jang Gamu's Embarassment: Obvious reference of 'The Great Jang Geum', a korean drama aired in Japan that became extremely famous between the Japanese. In Japanese, the title was "Janga Geum no Chikai" (=translation "Jang Geum's Oath") and the above title in Japanese is "Jang Gamu no Chitai".)

Katsura: The Summer

?: Really is amusing.

Katsura: TV

?: The main character's just so heroic, makes you want to cry.

?: Lend me the video next time.

Katsura: The Summer

Katsura: te

Katsura: That's enough!!

Katsura: Listen to me dammit!! When I've finally managed to borrow the video, isn't that nonsense!?

P19
?: Katsura-san, "NatsuSona" is already old. Right now "Jang Gamu's Embarassment" is popular.

Katsura: Jumping on any new things, I've had enough! I'll never watch a TV drama again!! I'm going home!

?: Katsura-san!! Wait, Katsura-san!!

Katsura: Excuse me

Katsura: Do you have "Jang Gamu's Nude"?
(*In Japanese, "Jang Gamu's Nude" is said as "Jang Gamu no Ratai". This is a simple mistake of Zura, thinking "ratai" instead of "chitai" which is supposedly the real name of the drama in the Gintama world.)

Shop: It's embarassment. And yes, we do have it. Uuum do you have a members card?

Katsura: No

Shop: Then do you have something for identification...

Katsura: Use this please, then.

Chaper 124 (V. 15) 19 pages
"The next week's preview in Jump is unreliable"

P1
[if samurais are dogs]

[i suppose ninjas are cats.]

[Dogs work only for their master, living with loyalty, faith and righteousness. For their master, they are willing to disregard even their own lives.]

[These dogs find happiness in living beautifully. But when they lose their master, they also lose their own road ever so easily.]

[Cats are different.]

[They nestle up to any master so long as they can come by food.]

[our lives have no beauty or ugliness.]

[The only thing there is]

P2
[is dedication to the art of the ninja.]

[To sublimate our art to the farest extent of beauty]

[is the only supreme happiness for us ninjas.]

[[Chapter 124 'The next week's preview in Jump is unreliable']]

P3
[And today again we cats]

[jump through the sky.]

Zenzo: Good, just in time. / It's a perfect job done.

P4
Gin: What the hell, today too? / What's with this bike? Does it draw in people or something?

Zenzo: Aaaargh my hemorrhoids (piles)!!! / You again!! What, do you have some kind of grudge against my anus???

Gin: It's not that, it was like my bike was sucked into your anus.

Zen: Don't call peoples butt holes as if they're a three-dimensional parking lot! / Damn! The delivery time... / I can't be playing around here!

Gin: Oh, hey.

Zen: [Will I make it...?] / Excuse me!! Delivery pizza 'NinNin Pizza'!

P5
Okuni: Shush / The nannies will wake up. Be quiet.

Zen: Uh... I'm here to deliver you pizza.

Okuni: That / is JUMP.

Zen: That idiot! / I'm very sorry, I'll be back right away with...

P6
Okuni: Nevermind. / I felt like reading this weeks issue just now. / Thanks. / And also. / You've got the sign for a disaster on your butt. / Be careful.

Zen: What the...

Gin: Hey give me back my JUMP.

P7
Zen: Gaaaaaah!!! What!? Seriously, what are you?!

Gin: What's with that comment, when I've troubled myself to deliver you your pizza?

Zen: Why are you eating it, I thought you were delivering it!?

Gin: It's not that, it was like this pizza was sucked into my mouth.

Zen: You're clearly the one who's sucking it in!

Gin: It's not that, you know, it's, like, melting in my mouth.

Zen: Your brains the one that's melting!

[God]

[None of the samurais are any good.]

[Their impressions are especially bad because they're always lining up pretty words like bushido. (*bushido: the spirit of samurai)]

[it's the same principle as when Jaian does something good, he seems like a really good guy]

[but when Shizuka-chan does something bad, she seems like a really bad guy.]

[in the ninja world , we call this the 'The Movie-Jaian-seems-like-a-really-good-guy principle'.]

(*Jaian and Shizuka-chan: Characters from the famous anime no one in Japan doesn't know, 'Doraemon'. Jaian is a bully who is always picking on the main character Nobita and Shizuka-chan is a smart, good girl who Nobita likes in this story.)

Person A: How was it, Zenzou?

P8

Zenzou: Too easy. / It's full of holes. / You can invade it from anywhere. I'll break in tonight, if you want.

Person A: Just as I've heard, the ninja of the ninjas who takes up Marishiten's name. / It was right to invite you. / So / how was that kid? Saizo... / Okuni of Tengantsuu. (*Tengantsuu: Holder of the eye of god.) / From a young age she's been pursuing the study of Yin-Yang concepts, I-Ching trigrams and many others / and as she can predict and reveal any event she is a miko called by many, 'Shindou'. (*Shindou: Child of God)

P9

Okuni: Sell all your Leivedoor stocks! / Poriemon will be arrested in a few days!

(*Leivedoor & Poriemon: Obvious reference of Livedoor and Horiemon. Livedoor co. ltd is a Tokyo-based internet service provider. Its founder, Takafumi Horie, known as "Horiemon" in Japan, caused a stir when he was arrested for accounting fraud in 2006.)

Person B: Thank you for your oracle Okuni-sama! / This is only a small amount but...

Person A: It's a tree that grows money. / There are many ways to use her. / My new master is also interested in her very much.

Zenzou: A kidnapping, huh? ...Boy have we ninjas fallen.

Person A: But it's only us who can do such a feat. / Isn't it exciting / to kidnap a person who has already predicted that she is going to be kidnapped?

P10

Person A: That's your advance. / I'll give you the rest after the job is done.

[God]

Zenzou: ...What? This... is Borraginol. / My payment is Borraginol. / Hey... and there's nothing in here. / And this is an injection type. I asked for the suppository type!

[None of the ninjas are any good.]

[After living in the free world and having stayed away from the doozy world of shinobi for a long time, I become keenly aware again of what a terrible world I'd been in.]

[it's similar to the feeling you get seeing the TV version Jaian after the movie version Jaian.]

[in the ninja world , we call this the 'Aw-shucks-Jaian's-back-to-his-usual-self-again-but-I'll-never-forget-you-that-time' phenomenon.]

(*Jaian: Refer to above note. Generally movies make out characters much more nicely then their TV version.)

Okuni: I thought you'd come.

P11

Zenzou: Interesting kid. / It seems like you really can see anything.

Okuni: I don't understand what's so interesting. / There is no pleasure in a life that you know what is coming.

Zenzou: Is the reason why you didn't run away, knowing I'd come / because you knew I wasn't planning anything?

Okuni: This weeks issue!

Zenzou: Sorry for the pizza the other day. / I'm a person who finishes jobs properly.

P12

Okuni: It's strange. / I, who hold the Tengantsuu which sees through anything / cannot predict what is going to happen in JUMP next.

Zenzou: Huh, really?

Okuni: Can't see / Is Maison de Penguin going to be dropped, or is it going to survive?

Zenzou: That!?

Okuni: It was very pleasurable. / Hey, will you bring it to me again? They don't let me out much, so I can't go buy it myself.

Zenzou: The next time I come is the when I come to kidnap you.

Okuni: ...Hmm I'd like some shoujo manga next / The nannies only let me read JUMP, saying that shoujo manga these days are too full of smut.

P13

Zenzou: You aren't running away?

Okuni: ...It's no use, running away. / I can see, even without the Tengantsuu / what lies ahead of me. / Wherever I go, I cannot escape. / I am already used to being taken advantage, and prediciting it. / Wherever I go, there is only the same future waiting for me. / If only / this eye didn't exist.

[God]

[i'm not any good at all.]

[it's not as if I don't feel sorry.]

[it's not as if I don't want to help.]

P14

[but my body moves faster then the brain.]

[When thoughts vanish and the body becomes one tool to only complete a job]

[When the body melts within the darkness]

[My body jubilates.]

[it looks like I'm a born cat.]

Ninjas: Wonderfully done. / Worked true to his name, that ex-ninja head. / He has nearly conquered the whole mansion by himself. / It looks like there is no room for us.

Person A: ...Wait.

P15

Zenzou: Hey.

Okuni: ...you've come. / Take me anywhere, I'm resolved.

Zenzou: ...There's something I want to ask you before that. / You're Tengantsuu? / There's this one little thing I'd like you to see with that.

Ninjas: There!! / Zenzou, she's...

P16

Ninjas: Wha... / This is!!!

Zenzou: If I betray them and sided you / how much chance of winning do I have?

Okuni: ...top. / Stop / You'll... / die

Zenzou: ...Sounds good. / Actually, this seems much more worth recking havoc for.

P17

Person A: Zenzou... looks like you haven't changed. / You sad man having ninja blood, who can only live in the jaws of death. / I know your nature / And that it is necessary to be careful of handling blades too sharp.

Zenzou: Sorry Saizou. / Cats are fickle creatures.

Person A: Zenzou / You're no cat / You're a cat monster!

P18

Okuni: Stupid! / I told you!

P19

Zenzou: S... Sorry.

Okuni: Stupid stupid! Don't speak anymore!

Zenzou: I'm really sorry. / You can't read it anymore like this. / The Shoujo Manga

[i say this numerous times, but ninjas are cats.]

[They nestle up to any master so long as they can come by food.]

[They act dirty without hesitation. There may be people who say they have no principles]

[but it's also true that they have a fixation others wouldn't understand.]

[And today again we cats]

[jump through the sky.]

Gintoki: Oops.

First time poster here, please point anything out if I'm doing it wrongly. :D

Chapter 65 (V.9)
19 pages
"Don't judge people by their looks"

p1

Matsudaira: There's only one reason I've called for y'all.

Matsudaira: He / has finally made a move.

Kondou: ...Totsan*. / Is that true?
(*Totsan = What Kondou calls Matsudaira. Totsan is a slangish word for tosan, which means father. But I'm quite sure Matsudaira is not Kondou's father.)

Matsudaira: There's no mistake. I constantly have my spies around him. He'd noticed it, and had been in hiding. / But we older people have more advantage at the test of endurance. He seems to have finally ran out out of patience and made a move.

Matsudaira: I have no intention on falling behind the curve. / If the tops have a problem with it, I'm prepared to slit my stomach.

p2

Matsudaira: It's decisive war. / I'm going to crush Him and all of His attempts.

Kondou: ...I see, if Totsan is so sure / We'll entrust you with our lives.

Matsudaira: Hmph. / I'll be relying on you lot.

Kondou: ..... / Toshi... Sougo, I need to confirm something.

Hijikata: What is it?

Kondou: ...Who's 'He'?

Hijikata: You didn't know!?

p3

Shichibei: Hey, Kuriko!

Shichibei: Sorry I'm late. / Did you wait?

Kuriko: Of course not, I just arrived. / I haven't been waiting at all.

Shichibei: Oh, really? Great! You see, the trains...

Matsudaira: ...That bastard, who's he trying to mess with? / Kuriko'd been waiting for over an hour, that asshole...

p4

Matsudaira: What do you think you've done, you've wasted one hour of my darling daughter's life. I'll have you pay for it with the rest of your life. / Oi Toshi! Be my base.

Hijikata: Wait a sec!!

Hijikata: What the hell are you thinking!? Did 'He' refer to your daughter's boyfriend!?

Matsudaira: He's not her boyfriend! Daddy will never approve of such a frivolous guy!

Hijikata: Shut up! I will never approve of you as our police chief!

Okita: And I will never approve of Hijikata-san as our vice-captain!

Hijikata: You stay out of this!

Hijikata: You must be kidding, we'd actually bothered to have a day off for you / but you just want us to interfere with your daughter's date? I can't believe it. I'm out.

Matsudaira: Hold on, when have I ever asked you guys to bother my daughter's date?

Matsudaira: I just want you to assasinate that man.

Hijikata: I wouldn't do that more!

Matsudaira: Do you really think that that frivolous guy can make Kuriko happy? / You see, I would really like to accept the man my daughter picked. I'd thought it over a lot...

Matsudaira: And... I decided that the only way to go is assasination.

Hijikata: You've thought it over too much! What are you? A Mafia?

Matsudaira: The police are like the Mafia.

Hijikata: The police chief just said an outrageous statement.

Matsudaira: Besides, father's can become a Saint or Mafia for their daughters.

p5

Hijikata: Yo Kondou-san, say something to this parent fool.

Kondou: Who are you talking about?

Kondou: Call me Killer Gorilla 13*.
(*Gorilla 13 = Obviously a parody of Golgo 13, the longest running Japanese adult manga.)

Hijikata: What the hell are you doing? ...What's 13?

Kondou: An ominous sign, I've been rejected by 13 women this year.

Kondou: Hey Totsan, let me help you. / I've known Kuriko since she was young, she's like a little sister to me. I can't give her to a guy like that.

Kondou: I hate wimps who dress up frivolously despite being a man. / I think simple, sturdy men like me match Kuriko best.

Matsudaira: No I don't want someone like you.

Kondou: I think openhearted men like me match Kuriko best.

Matsudaira: No I don't want someone like you.

Kondou: Let's go Totsan!!

Hijikata: Oi!

Hijikata: Uh oh, I wouldn't put it past them to really assasinate him. Sougo, we're going to go stop them.

Okita: Who are you talking about?

Okita: My name is Killer Sougo 13.

Hijikata: Ooooooiiii!

Sougo: I'll be joining them since it looks fun.

p6

Matsudaira: That bastard, picking this of all the things... / I can't aim properly because the horse it moving up and down, and I think I'm getting kind of sick.

Matsudaira: Anyway, when are we going to catch up to them? We aren't getting closer at all.

Hijikata: Of course we aren't getting closer! This is a merry-go-round!

Hijikata: We're going round along with the platform! We'll be going round forever and ever, idiots!

Matsudaira: Mary and pants? What's that? / I've never visited an amusement park so I don't know anything about it, although I have visited an adult's amusement park before.

Hijikata: Whatever, just don't rush into anything. We just have to break them apart, right? There must be other ways.

Matsudaira: What, you want to become a member? You want to join the Killer alliance?

Hijikata: I'm here to make sure you guys don't run mad!

p7

Hijikata: I have no intention on doubting that man's humanity from his looks like you people.

Matsudaira: Of course he's a bad guy, he's got holes all over the place! / Human being's are already covered with holes! I don't get why you need to add more holes to it!

Hijikata: I don't get what the hell you're saying, either.

Okita: Adolescent girls' like her easily fall for bad men. / And they grow up by getting a little burned.

Hijikata: Sougo how old are you?

Matsudaira: Oi I have a tough-looking face and I've never once gotten popular with women.

Hijikata: In your case, instead of getting burned you'd get 80% of your body burnt.

Hijikata: Well, good or bad, love and whatnot is just an illusion in the end.

Hijikata: Your daughter's just holding a fantasy of him, so we just have to wake her up from her fantasy.

Hijikata: Luckily, this amusement park is the perfect place to do it.

p8

Kuriko: Please, I'd like to see Shichibei-sama's groggy face.

Shichbei: Eh are you serious? Go ride by yourself, I'll be watching you.

Kuriko: I don't want to; ride with me!

Shichibei: Buuuuut...

Okita: Don't complain and ride, holstein boy.

Shichibei: !

Okita: Make a fuss, and you'll have another hole in your body.

Kuriko: ? Shichibei-sama

Shichibei: Er, um, actually, let's ride...

Kuriko: Seriously!?

Matsudaira: Hey, are you sure it's going to work?

Hijikata: Your daughter said that as to not hurt the guy.

Matsudaira: What?

Kondou: Toshi, are you saying that she really wasn't disgusted at all by the poop? / You were totally disgusted at me when I wet my pants / whereas that girl consumes all of him, including his dirty parts. Is that what you're trying to say?
