Junketsu no Maria 1

Here's another new one:



page 1

b1) Ohh...
b2) My lady with the name of a pagan goddess, Artemis!
b3) Please stay with me forever.
b4) At dawn tomorrow, you're going to invade the French army that's across the bridge right?
b5) And the night before, here we have the leader of the proud English army naked, and longing for a woman.
b6) I don't care about England or the Catholics...
bubble sfx.1-3) haa
b7) As far as I'm concerned, you're my king, and you're my god, Artemis!

page 2

title) A saintly witch
b1) Foolish little catholic,
panel) This is a story of when men loved war, during the day they sought after god, and at night witches.
b2) Let me hear you whine like a whore!

page 3

b1) Its such a small forest, but when I turn around, I can't see the village.
b2) Let go back mom, I'm scared...
b3) Don't worry.
b4) I've requested your beloved saint Margret's protection.
b5) And I always come home safely.
b6) So don't worry, besides, the witch Maria is a very nice person.

page 4

b1) Is...
b2) Is anybody home...

page 5

bubble sfx.1,2) fuu
b1) I can hear you.
b2) Martha's daugher and grandaughter right?

page 6

b1) Martha is pretty mean.
b2) My legs aren't that bad that I can't walk.
b3) Take it and go.
b4) Its the usual mixture of medicinal herbs.
b5) Are you a witch?
b6) The village elder always says that witches are bad, disturbed and dirty.
b7) What's disturbed and unclean?
-she didn't deny the part about being bad-

page 7

b1) Witches aren't disturbed or anything.
b2) Originally they were the brains of the village, making medicinal mixtures and using charms.
b3) The ones who hate witches and call them disturbed and the like,
b4) are the Catholics who we were at enmity with since times past.
b5) Can I become a witch too?
b6) Hey, what are you saying?
b7) Because a witch can fly right?
b8) That's not possible for you.
b9) You're one of the church's good little lambs.

page 8

b1) What's said about witches in fairy tails isn't totally true about the real thing.
b2) You don't go to a magic school to learn to be a witch.
b3) Is that how it is.
b4) Then are you an incredible witch?
b5) Of course!
b6) Don't lump me together with the fodder in stories.

page 9

b1) A.. ahem.
b2) What a long trip.
b3) I'm tired now.
b4) My hips feel like they're going to fall off.
b5) Maria...
b6) Huh, a guest?

page 10

b1) Oh, its Martha's daughter and her little one.
b2) I heard you were supposed to come get some medicine right?
b3) Where did Maria go?
b4) What's this?
b5) Ah, Maria.
b6) I just got back.

page 11

b1) Maria was really cute.
b2) Like I said, she wasn't scary at all right.
b3) Can I come back here to play?
b4) Huh? She's a witch, so no.
b5) Come on...
b6) Hey owl!

page 12

b1) The first image you make on a child is most important!
b2) The Witch Maria is someone that should be feared.
b3) Something like that is totally pointless.
b4) And besides, even if had succeeded in decieving her, Martha would've just told her the truth.
b5) Anyway, you're late! Its almost noon!
b6) Try thinking about me who's waiting on you!
b7) How far do you think I flew between here and the battlefield?
b8) And I'm sure you know nothing about this, but that was a job that takes a lot of time to finish.
b9) But in return,
b10) All of the commanders have lost their will to fight, that area is peaceful now.

page 13

b1) Wha...
b2) What on earth happened?
b3) The English army that looked like it was going to attack this morning,
b4) is pulling back like they left the stove on fire...
b5) Chef!
b6) Our scout has returned!
b7) It looks like there was some confusion among the commanders.
b8) And all who were capable of leading the army were caught up in it...

page 14

b1) All of them seem to be saying the same thing, the name of an asian god: Artemis.
b2) Like they've been put under a spell of the devil.
b3) Artemis?
b4) Do you mean Greece's Diana?
b5) It was a witch.
b6) Mayor!
b7) This is the work of the witch Maria's succubus...
b8) Its told that that witch Maria hates fighting, and goes around stopping them.
b9) Maria?
b10) A witch with that name!
-I do hope u understand what they mean here, if not, here's a hint "Ave Maria".-

page 15

b1) To be saved not by the holy mother, but by a witch...
b2) The defense of this city is weak, if the gate was taken, women and children would have to take up arms.
b3) My lord, please forgive my feelings of gratitude towards a witch.
b4) No.
b5) This is also the lord's guidance.
b6) This result cam about because we, of the proper way, are being protected by our father.
b7) In fact what's more suitable for staining the name of our holy mother,
b8) isn't gratitude, but a burning at the stake.

page 16

b1) You didn't take anyone's life right?
b2) When a succubus over does it, it gets dangerous right?
b3) "We're not here to fight!" right?
b4) Don't lump me together with those low level succubus, I follow my master's orders.
b5) Well, for about a month, the only thing they'll be able to do is call out my name while releasing.
b6) R-r-r-releasing... what's that?
b7) Ah... my jaw hurts, talking isn't helping either.
b8) Your jaw? Why would your jaw... did you eat something hard?
-I'd feel sorry 4 the guy if she did eat it...-

page 17

b1) This is rare.
b2) Then I'll give you all the minor details, master.
b3) But I wonder if you'll understand...
b4) You are the best witch that sends out a succubus every night to lead the men astray, but
b5) you're also what the catholics respect and revere,
b6) a virgin.
b7) Aren't you?

page 18

b1) And what of it!?
b2) If they want a virgin, I'll give mine to a dog!
b3) Roman Catholics are loli-cons that are afraid of women.
b4) Look at La Pucelle, what did she do to them?
b5) To save France, she went around as a 1-man cavalry, is that the way to treat a woman?
b6) Someone used their fingers to find out if she was still a virgin, used that to their advantage, betrayed her and had her burned at the stake!
b7) Look at that, those dirty pigs!
b8) And after they treated her like a witch, they made her into a patriotic saint.

page 19

b1) I"m going to get rid of the arrow message.
b2) There's work for you tonight too, so get some rest already!
b3) Kaname is
b4) at an interesting age.

page 20

b1) Good morning Maria-dono.
b2) What do you want?
b3) If you put the name of an army on a paper and fire it in Maria's forest,
b4) that night a succubus will visit their camp, and come morning, there wont be a battle.
b5) The rumors have even reached the ears of those in England.
b6) Lets go burn all the english requests.
b7) I'm not taking France's side or anything you know.
b8) I am french though.

page 21

b1) And how is it you, a soldier, comes here time after time to request my services like this? Aren't you ashamed?
b2) If you're a real catholic then give me the heretical inquiry and soldiers.
b3) Yeah, my duty as a communications officer is over.
b4) As of tommorrow, I'll be going to the front lines to face the English army.
b5) Hah! A little kid like you who's never touched a woman?
b6) You're also a fool for going to something so stupid as war.
b7) Th-that's true.
b8) A witch will probably toss this aside, but I'll say it anyway.

page 22

b1) Instead of going off to war,
b2) I wanted to stay here and come see you all the time.
b3) Haha.
b4) P-p-p-please forget what I just said.
b5) Be careful...
b6) Its known to some of your superiors that you've been in contact with me right.
b7) Especially when someone is trying to cover their own ass, they'll sell someone out.
b8) If it so happens that you get in trouble with the heretical inquiry, then just repent saying you were put under a spell by me.

page 23

b1) M-may I...
b2) have your hand please?

page 24

b1) What a big town.
b2) There's supposed to a raid here tomorrow.
b3) Then do you want to go get some french men while we have the time?

b4) Yeah, let's go.

page 25

b1) Get out of my sight Lancaster bats.
b2) Or I'll make you into tomorrow's breakfast.
b3) Even here I'll have to jolt both camps...
b4) As things stand, this war will be a mud bath...
b5) England is on the defensive huh?
b6) Then let me go enjoy everyone from the castle gates to the commander's tent.

page 26

b1) Huh?
b2) Whaa?
b3) Lancers, forward!
b4) God's blessing is shining on us French.
b5) After the foot soldiers, we'll be attacking next!

page 27

b1) Charge! (x4)
b2) Just a little farther till we reach the gate!
b3) Gatekeeper, lower the draw bridge!
b4) Those French dogs are coming, don't let a single one get past!

page 28, 29

b1) Whoa.
bubble sfx.) step
b2) The French army is on the attack.
b3) This side is England.
b4) Both sides are Roman Catholic.
b5) Even though I'm a witch,
b6) I'm still very good looking...
b7) You left me high and dry...
b8) Huh?
b9) Is a killing match between men really fun!?

b4) You looked like you were fine with that communications officer.

b6) Hmm.
b7) And yet,
b8) he was so happy when he left for this war.
b9) Hey.
b10) What?

page 33

b1) Isn't that,
b2) him saying he likes you, and not rejecting you?
b3) Excuse me?
b4) I hate little
b5) tactics like that!
b6) Dragon! We're not the same as those foolish Catholics!
b7) Yes ma'am
b8) This isn't a war so don't kill any of them!

page 34

b1) All that's left is to pray that that boy isn't on this battlefield.
b2) He's here, I used your nightvision to find him, and came here!
b3) You know... you'll be a virgin for a little longer.
b4) hmph... I'll give my virginity to anyone anywhere.
panel) A witch thats a virgin!! That's totally unbeatable!!
