Kurenai 11

Thought I'd just do it... why? Because I wanted to do a chapter of Kure-nai :D

Kure-nai Chapter 11 Negotiation

= speech/thought bubbles
++ everything else (usu also labeled to some extent)

Page 1
++ Information bureau · Ginko, a brief respite...

Ginko
= As expected, the Kuhouin has a tough guard...
= Seriously that idiot...
= All of a sudden wanting to know information about the Kuhouin...

Page 2
Ginko’s father
= Ginko
= Your cell phone was ringing in your room a while ago

Ginko
= Eh?

Dad
= Could it be Shinkurou-kun-? (small font) ++ N - ?

Ginko
= I
= I don’t know!!

SFX
++ Click
++ Click

Ginko
= This is...

Page 3
++ I won’t get close. But I won’t be far away-.

Shinkurou
= Hanamura Kindergarten?

Page 4
Shinkurou
= Yeah, of course I remember
= That’s the kindergarten Ginko and I attended a long time ago, right?

Ginko
= Yesterday, there was correspondence from the kindergarten’s principal there, and...
= Recently, they seem to be getting caught up in some land speculation of pretty bad nature (tn: sorry, I don’t know what the real term is for forcibly buying real estate to make a whole area your own territory...)

= Ever the deeds to the kindergarten grounds were stolen from the principal’s residence a few days ago
= They’ve been receiving all sorts of shady threats
= At this rate, they might even come after the kindergarten.....

Shinkurou
= In other words...
= A job commission for me, huh

Page 5
Shinkurou
= OK
= I’ll take it

Ginko
= Thanks

Shinkurou
= By the way, that...

Ginko
= The speculator’s name is “Kuino Real Estate”
= In reality, it’s a subordinate organization of the large widespread gang “Kyokuhoukai”.
= This is its data

= Their number and separate personal data, number of firearms, daily activities and whereabouts
= This over here is a rough sketch and the wiring diagram of the building
= And this is the summary of the bunch’s illegal activities so far and their proofs

Shinkurou
= Terrifying...

Ginko
= Well
= That’s it for me...

Shinkurou
= Huh...
= Ginko

Page 6
Shinkurou
= Did you lose some weight?

Ginko
= What it that
= Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Shinkurou
= No...
= It’s not that

= You look a bit tired, so...

Ginko
= I don’t know

Shinkurou
= ... is it just my imagination

Page 7
Murasaki
= Take me, too

Shinkurou
= No

Murasaki
= Why?

Shinkurou
= What do you mean why...
= You’re going to a yakuza’s office, you know!?

Murasaki
= Hoho
= So that’s what it is
= The Houzuki-style or whatever you learned is a pathetic thing that can’t even protect one child from the yakuza

Page 8
Shinkurou
= I won’t forgive making a fool out of Houzuki

Murasaki
= Then take me along
++ I have spare time

++ Next day

Murasaki
= So this is the hideout of what they call a gang

Page 9
Murasaki
= What is this? It’s more normal than I thought

Shinkurou
= Geez...
= When I’m with you, I feel like an idiot getting hesitant or worried...
= Murasaki
= Promise me just one thing
= Don’t go off blabbering unnecessary things
= This is a job, after all

Murasaki
= Yes
= I promise

Shinkurou
= ... Do you really understand?

Page 10
Kuino
= ... I see
= I understand what you’re saying
= But I’m in a bind
= This is business for us too

Shinkurou (Boxes)
++ Kuino Tadashi
++ President of Kuino Real Estate and the young leader of the gang...

Page 11
Kuino
= And that is?

Shinkurou
= Proof
= That you people are conducting unlawful land speculation
++ It’s data that Ginko prepared
++ There’s no errors whatsoever

Kuino
= I’m surprised

Page 12
Kuino
= Where did you get this information from...?

= ... No, excuse me
= Haha... I lose
= As expected from a dispute mediator
= I understand
= We’ll take our hands off that kindergarten

Shinkurou
= Eh

Page 13
Kuino
= I can’t feign ignorance with this much proof shoved at me
= Hey
= Here you go
= The deeds to the land

Shinkurou
++ ......That was unexpected
++ I wondered what kind of opponents they might be since it’s the yakuza
++ What the, they’re completely normal businessmen
++ No...
++ Does that mean my skills have increased so much that the opponents seem that way...?

Kuino
= But you are outstanding at a young age
= Next time, I’d like to request a job

Shinkurou
= No, you’re...

Murasaki
= Shinkurou

Page 14
Murasaki
= He’s lying

Shinkurou
= Heh?

Kuino
= Young lady...
= Why do you think mister is lying?

Murasaki
= Why?

Page 15
Murasaki
= One who lies makes a lying face
= and has a lying voice
= Of course I’d know

= In this world, there is the lie and the truth
= Only two kinds

= I’m 7 years old, but living for 7 years, even I can make that sort of distinction.

Kuino
= Haha
= I see

= Looks like mister got beat on one here...
= Ku ku

Page 16
Kuino
= Damn brat

Page 17
Kuino
= Piece of shit
= Getting all carried away because we’re being humble

“Employee” :D
= Kuino-san...

Kuino
= Call the guys from the next room
= Clean up that trash already

Murasaki
= Shinkurou
= Shi...

Page 18 - :D

Page 19
Cheap guy with knife from the back
= You bastard
= Heh

Page 20
Shinkurou
= To point a gun at such a little girl......

Page 21
Shinkurou
= Some personality you’ve got, Kuino-san

Kuino
= You...
= Were a mercenary......! (tn: not exactly. 戦闘 means combat (in this context) and 屋 is a generic suffix for someone who does something for a living. So maybe a professional combatant? Maybe not -_-)

Shinkurou
= Then I would have killed you all
= I’m a dispute mediator through and through

Kuino
= Wai...
= Wait a second!!
= There are still a young crowd in the next room...!!

Page 22
Tamaki
= Ah!!
= Shinkurou-kun IS here-!!!

Shinkurou
= Ta
= Tamaki-san!!?

Kuino
= Wh...
= What about the others...?

Tamaki
= Others?
= What others?

Page 23
Shinkurou
= Will you...
= Continue the negotiations?

Kuino
= I get it...
= We’ll completely take our hands off the kindergarten

Shinkurou
= Murasaki

Page 24
Shinkurou
= Let’s go home
= Sorry to make you go through scary stuff

Murasaki
= I’m the one at fault
= Ne.. Never mind that, hospital, Shinkurou!!

Shinkurou
= This is about like a scratch for the Houzuki-style

Murasaki
= Foo...

Page 25
Murasaki
= You got shot by a gun – what do you mean a scratch, you fool!!!
= Listen to what I say, Shinkurou!!
= Go to the hospital!!
= Hurry, you’re bleeding!!

Shinkurou
= O... OK, I got it...

Doctor
= One two three...
= Hey, hey, how many times you get shot, you

Page 26
Doc
= Maybe your skills dulled? No matter how much you’ve trained, this is a serious injury, y’know

Shinkurou
= There were... lots of things going on

Doc
= Well
= Try to be careful and not die

Shinkurou
= I’ll do that
(small font) ++ Oww

Tamaki
= Murasaki-cha-n
= I bought some snacks and juice-

Murasaki
= I don’t want it (tn: she literally says she doesn’t NEED it, but context and common sense dictate that I translate it as “I don’t WANT it”)

Page 27
Murasaki
= While Shinkurou is in pain
= I can’t eat such things

Tamaki
= It’s alright, Murasaki-chan
++ SFX: Brrrr
= From the likes of that, Shinkurou-kun won’t...
++ SFX: Brrrr

= ... Yeah
= His injuries are something like that

Page 28
Ginko
= I see
= Thank you

Tamaki
= But indeed childhood friends-
= To say you want me to save him in an emergency since it may be a troublesome opponent

Ginko
= Not really
= It’s a simple work-related insurance policy
= Then your compensation will be given later...

Tamaki
= U-n
= Can’t hook her in...
++ SFX: Pi/Blip

Page 29
Ginko
= Seriously, that idiot...
= My turn to start hustling... huh...
= Information on the Kuhouin
= I’ll research it up no matter what

Page 30
Shinkurou
= Sorry I kept you waiting...
= Stopping the bleeding was a bit...

= Ha?

= Didn’t even touch the snacks or juice?

Tamaki
= That’s right, the entire time, y’know, the who-le time!

Shinkurou
= She must have been tired

Tamaki
= No - I don’t think it’s just that

Page 31
= If you had to say which, felt like a woman waiting for her lover?
= And she was making a face like she was praying for the well-being of a darling

Shinkurou
= That’s not it

Tamaki
= I wo-nder -
++ (small font) Kekeke

Shinkurou
= And the snacks and the juice – you just wanted to eat them yourself, didn’t you, Tamaki-san

Tamaki
= No way -
= I did eat them, though

Murasaki
++ ... I’m sorry... Shinkurou...

++ Trace of tears, touching fingertips, hearts drawing nearer...
