Monster Hunter Orage 5

EDIT: DONE.

As usual, group(s) have already come out with a scanlation.
And since this has been a repeated thing, I can safely assume this series is covered, meaning I'm also dropping the translation of this series.

But I have to give props to the groups I've seen, good job taking it up a level and matching the JP items/monsters to the US one (although you missed a couple spots, see below). I am happy stepping off the stage knowing I've encouraged others to dig a bit deeper.

Edit: Omake up
No promises on whether or not I'll continue doing omake because it seems no one really scanlates it (yes, i am aware of the international groups who do).

...i just have to get this out of my system, but I really want to read how these other translators would have tackled chapter 4, lol. The Royal Paleontologic Company of Scriveners...hmm....

I look forward to seeing how others will stand up to Mashima Hiro's challenge!!!

-THE OCEAAAAAN!!

-Home to the Giant Squid!! I'm gonna catch one!!!
-Shiki-kun, don't forget we need to sail to Gortett

-Our goal is to meet the half-dragon blacksmith there (t/n - don't know if it's shown before, but dragon kin is a specific term in the japanese ver to refer to the tiny people across the MH world. like the guy in the guild counter, he's one of the dragon-human race)
-Then let's catch him a Giant Squid for a welcoming present!!

-GIANT SQUID, HERE I COME~~!!

tiny text in the corner of page: "Monster Hunter Orage" contains a few small differences from the actual game.

05
-You haven't been yourself lately, is something wrong?
-R-really? I, uh ...feel just fine

-Well if there is, you can talk to me about it anytime

-After all, we're teammates, right?

-No, we aren't!!!

-Don't make me repeat myself!! Our goals just happen to be the same, that's all!!
-I'm no team mate of yours!!
-Irie-san...

-Look, there's a city over there

06
-I can see ships! Let's hurry over there!

-QUIT PLAYING AROUND ALL THE TIME! WHAT ARE YOU, A KID!?
-But it's my first time at the beach~

-Irie-san...

07
-The test is right around the corner! Right, Irie?

-If we pass, I can finally pursue my dad's dream!
-I can become a Forbidden Hunter!

-And hey, once we pass, would you guys like to join me hunt for the Miogaruna?
-Hah, you even need to ask?
-Sounds like a load of fun!

-The only problem is we're short on cash. We need about 30k zenny to reach the Great Elders' Hall

08
-Well, we can always sell all those great swords you're hoarding!!
-No, I'm collecting those!
-How about we all lend you a hand

-Let's hunt to rack up some dough!

-C'mon, give me your hand, Irie
-my hand?
-Just do it

-When you need help, we're just an arm's reach away

-Isn't that what teammates are for?

09
-Yeah!! Teammates are worth more than anything!
-I love you all!!

-WHAT WAS THAT!?
-WHADDYA MEAN YOU CAN'T LEND US A BOAT!!

10
sign: Portside town / Linka Rinka (t/n - I was thinking Dingaling but ...nah. Made up name as far as i can tell. whether it's R or L, i dunno, but given the crazy character coming up next i put both...get the joke?)
-THERE'S A FANTASTIC ONE SITTING RIGHT OUTSIDE!!

-Tehe~~! You guys are making me giggle~!
-Didn't you hear? Someone sighted a wittle plesioth! (T/n - chan is "cute" suffix, like referring to kids...original jp name is "ganototosu")
-So all ships are sitting put for a while~

11
-A Plesioth!?
-I've heard of that monster! It's at the top of the aquatic food chain!!

-But why here? I thought it was a freshwater creature!!

-The sea around here's always been low in salinity
-That's why every now and then there's been Plesioth sightings, for years!

-Um, are you a guy? or a girl?

12
-So~like~I~said~~ no boats are gonna budge until the wittle plesioth goes home~!

-So we're stuck

-Then you mean we just have to hunt the thing?
-But, I've heard of hunters losing their armor to it in a single hit!!

-So we just avoid getting hit!! Big deal!

-Just the words...
-...I've been waiting for!!

-A guy!!

13
-I happen to have a hunting request right here
-The very client was the boat's captain himself

-So this was a job from the very beginning...

-He's been searching for any hunters willing to do it around this area
-The reward is none other than a free ticket to his ship

-I get it...if we don't slay the Plesioth, the ship can't set sail
-and, if we successfully slay the monster, we'll get a free ride!

-Sounds good! Leave it to us!
-But, Irie-san...

disclaimer on this page is "this is a work of fiction. any resemblance to actual organizations, people, or events are purely coincidental."

rightmost: SHIKI RYUUHOU
A young man who wields the wind-element twin blades, "Arashi". He's a Forbidden Hunter, enabling him to hunt across any and every hunting ground there is. With a heart after his master Gurelli, who died in an accident combining gunpowder, Shiki sets out to hunt the Dragon of Light, the Miogaruna.

14
-Just a minute there, lass
-There's a slight restriction to this request

-While you can take any weapon you like, you've gotta be wearing a "Kelbikini"
-WHAT!?
box: Kelbikini / Made from light Kelbi leather, this armor gives the wearer a taste of the holiday resort life...or is it under-armor...?
(t/n - one of the very few monsters in MH that has a similar JP-ENG name)

(below that: )
Materials required:
-Kelbi hide x5
-Carpenterbug x5
-Kut-Ku Coin x5
-Resort Ticket x4

last bubble: EH!?

-ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? WHAT KIND OF RIDICULOUS RESTRICTION IS THAT?!
-Oh? But I think it would fit you guys perfectly~
(shiki small - a woman!?)

15
-The Captain is a former Hunter himself
-A real hotshot when he was younger, it seems
-That's why he said: "anyone who isn't as amazing as me isn't fit to ride my ship!!"

-L-let's just forget about this...trying to fight a monster that can destroy armor while practically naked is suicide!!
-Kuh!!
-Hey! I thought you just said you wouldn't get hit...?
-A man...?

-Well, whatever~

-It's because of this crazy restriction that no one wants to accept the quest

-Who said we weren't?
-SHIKI!!
-SHIKI-KUN!!

left columns:
IRIE / Eager-cleaver wielding Great Sword user. Daughter to Shiki's master. Ever since meeting Shiki, who likewise believes in the same legend she does, they've traveled together.

SAKUYA / Light bowgun user. Arms craftsman who is carrying on her father's dream to create the world's strongest weapon out of the most rare and elusive materials.

16
-We're the strongest team in the world!!
-With our powers combined, there's nothing we can't do!!

-Do I have to say it again...?

-He's right!
-Not you too!!!

-E-eh...?? W-was I acting like a man just now...or a woman...??
-THE HELL SHOULD I KNOW?!

17
-The Hunter's Ship

-T-this is embarassing...
-Really? It feels pretty refreshing for a change to me!

sfx bub - Squish
-And...it's really tight...
-WHADDYA EXPECT WITH THOSE THINGS!?

-Yours is big too, Irie-san...your butt, I mean
-And I'm sorry to inform you that NO ONE cares about breasts in my hometown!!

18
-MASTEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!! THIS KELBIKINI FEELS WAY TOO DANGEROUS--!!!!
-Does he have to make a ruckus wherever we go?
-But that's what's best about him!

-Blue skies!!

-Blue seas!!

-As blue as Master!!
-He must have been seasick...
-I'm tired of interjecting*

19
-Blue Irie too!!
-Quit adding me to your nonsense!!!
-That's one heck of an interjection!*
(t/n - hard to explain the pun but, tsukkomi is used to mean just this, hitting someone over the head. But it can also mean butting in, so i tried this with interjecting. but i wonder if that was too "big" a word...)

-Keep it down, kids

-I'm TRYING to sleep

20
-What the heck are you wearing??
-THE SAME THING AS YOU!!

-Might you be a hunter who accepted this quest like us??
-That shemale sent us both!?!?

-Keh! YOU'RE the ones butting into my hunt
-I told him I can do this myself

-Then you're after the Plesioth too?
-And what if I am?

-All right!!!

21
-Let's team up!! Together!!
-Hah?!!

-Master!! I've found a 4th team member!! A bit rough on the edges, but a teammate no less!!
-I AIN'T ON YOUR STINKIN' TEAM!! AND WHADDYA MEAN ROUGH!?!

-We're after the same thing--to hunt the Plesioth!!

-SO WHAT!! I can hunt it ALONE! DON'T get in my way!!

22
-But three are better than one...and four are even better than that...so what do you say?

-S-shut up!! I don't need your help!! Get lost!
-I'm Shiki Ryuuhou!
-And I'm Sakuya!
-QUIT INTRODUCING YOURSELVES!! SCRAM!!

-Cut the crap!!

-So what if our goals are the same? You can't just trust people like that!

23
-I'm with the muscle-brain
-I don't need any teammates!!

-Enough...with...the...names!!!
-Irie-san...

-Screw this!! That bitch, acting all tough when she can't even get along with others!

-Irie-san always overreacts whenever the word teammate comes up...

24
-I wonder what happened to her in the past?
-MASTEEEERRR!! YOUR DAUGHTER ISN'T COOPERATING--!!!

-I won't join a team...

-ever again!!

25
-Irie

-Your last hunt, a Gypceros, was it? I heard...what a pity (t/n - jp Gerios)
- Hm?
-It ended badly, right? Dario and them told me
-Wait, I didn't fail that quest

-Huh? Did I get that wrong?
-I cleared the quest perfectly!!

-Is that right...well, congratulations...

26
-Dario, what's going on!?

-Aw, man! You found out already?
-We were hoping to keep it a secret before we could get you the 30k you need

-You know, the zenny you said you needed for the trip?
-And I found just the trick to make some cash!!

-Y'know how whenever you finish a quest, you gotta give the monster to the guild? Well, all you ever get is some piddly cash and couple materials...
(t/n - I couldn't agree more!! Why do you hunt huge things in the game and get a mere 1,000 for it!? and only a couple parts!! Especially on lao...This guy's a genius!!)

-So, I figured it out
-Just tell the Guild you failed to hunt the monster
-And sell it off to someplace else
-The funny thing is, you get WAY more cash too!

27
-I-Isn't that illegal?

-As long as no one has to know, there's no problem!
-And there's no way they will!
-Because we'll use the black market!

-I dunno his real name, but some guy called Shadow is happy to buy 'em off our hands at crazy prices!
-Something about developing secret weapons that can't be made public

-W-wait guys, this is a really bad idea!
-It's not too late! Let's go tell the guild!!

-Oh, COME ON Irie! Don't be a rotten egg!
-We're doing this for YOU
-W-well I appreciate the thought, but...
-And your trip expenses aside, we can rake in 100 or 200k in like no time!!

28
-B-but...I...that method is...

-You're not thinking of ratting us out, are you now?

-Eh?

-Aren't we a team
-Irie?

-Y-yeah...
-We...are...

29
-Dario Shelby
-Norx Lenham
-Mousseux Rowkoa
-Irie Jescar

-You four have been charged on the grounds of poaching (t/n - but it's not illegal in final fantasy!)
-And falsifying the fact that you successfully hunted a Gypceros

30
-This is your fault, isn't it Irie!!

-Weren't we a team!?!

-I told them...because we are

-The defendants are to remain silent!!

-Because we're a team...
-I too, will stand accused!!

31
-WHAT THE HELL KIND OF TEAMMATE SELLS THEIR OWN PARTNERS OUT!? WE WON'T EVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!!

32
-Take them away!!
-LEMME GO!! WE DID IT BECAUSE OF HER!!
-SHE'S TO BLAME FOR THIS!!
-SHE TRICKED US!!
-I said GET THEM OUT!!

-Irie Jescar

-Is it correct that you are aspiring to take the Forbidden Hunter Selection Examination?

-I am

-I'm ashamed to say you've just ruined your life with an insignificant matter

33
-You are hereby revoked of the right to take the Forbidden Hunter Selection Examination indefinitely

34
-I don't need teammates!!

-IRIEEEEEEEE

-EH!?

35-36
-PLESIOTH / difficulty (5 stars)

37

38
-Irie-san!!

-What's wrong with you!? Spacing out at a time like this!!

-Shiki...

39
-Oops

-GUH!!
-Eek!

-Crrrack

-SHIKI-KUN!!
-IRIE-SAN!!

40
-GIVE ME YOUR HAND--
-IRIEEEEE!!!

41
-Give me your hand, Irie

-CAN IT!!
-gasha
-I'LL TAKE HIM MYSELF!!

42
-IRIE!!!

-I can't trust teammates!!!

-heh heh!

all the way left: Irie's heart has been calloused by sadness...
