Vagabond 246

This translation is for Strays’ use and their use alone. Anyone else, please do NOT use this to scanlate. Thanks.

Matahachi trying to redeem himself.

Also, I heard that people have wanted to do international scanlations of Vagabond but they don't think they are allowed to translate from my English. This is absolutely not true. Feel free to translate my work into a different language. It's only the English version that is not allowed for use in scanlation.

There’s a wall there.

一見昔と同じ二人
It may seem like nothing’s changed.

だけどおつうの俺を見る目の奥には壁がある
But in there’s a wall in the depths of her eyes when she looks at me.

そりゃあそうか
Of course...

ほんとに書くのかよ　そんな手紙？
I’ve really gotta write that letter? {T/N: Anyone know what the translation for these next few lines is in the Viz version? Consistency is always good. }

あら
Oh?

書けないの？
Can’t do it?

わかったよ
Fine.

その壁を
And I...

つくったのは俺だ
built that wall.

それに
And...

今度こそ武蔵についていけよ　おつう
Otsu, go with Musashi this time. {T/N: Yes, he does actually use Musashi here.}

武蔵なんて女に対してどうしていいかわかんねえんだから　どーせ
He doesn’t really know how to handle women {small text} really

お前からついていかなきゃ一生一緒になんてなれねえぞ
so if you don’t go with him now, you’ll never be together.

You cold?

炭を足しとくぞ
I’ll add some more coals.

If I’d just stayed with you,

ときどきは酒をくみかわす友だったはずだ
we could have had a drink together occasionally.
