Black Lagoon Volume 3 Chapter 15 Bloodsport Fairy Tale pt. 5
-Midnight with the stars and you, Midnight and a rendezvous
-Your eyes held a tender message
-Saying “surrender all my love to you”
-Midnight brought us sweet romance
-I know all my whole life through, I’ll be remembering you
-Whatever else I do
-Midnight with the stars and you
-That’s a nice singing voice
-I must be crazy, thinking that that cutthroat has a nice singing voice.
-Only the voice could touch the heavens
p. 50
-But
-that child grew to like strange things
-Geez
-Roanapura’s (city) “One night of terror” how did that demon-child come to request that sort of thing I wonder
-Huh
-Well…a request’s a request, usually we let one person have those duties (?)
-Thanks to you, we’ll be $15,000 dollars richer
-(12.7 millicut, 50 case, shouldn’t you be grateful?) (millicut is referring to a metal cutter?)
-Eda’s also poor
-It seems you’ve changed from killing, don’t try and steal the bullets from this (diigan).
-Oi oi, the (bad heads of family) have given up on this situation, Benny (hmm…)
-Eda’s so satisfied with the 5 figure (payout) that she’d satisfy the condition’s request. (Hmm)
-There’s a limit to how many times you can buy your life, Eda’s been pretty fortunate.
-I should receive the Nobel Humanitarianism prize for this, don’t you think? (hmm)
-Isn’t that right, Benny Boy?
p. 51
-You for that reason Giana Jones (full name of Eda?) should be at peace, for being a clergyman is a noble prize in itself
-Yeah, it’s like as you said
-In this place
-What’s Levi been doing?
-Levi?
-She’s been grumbling a lot about that kid’s situation
-Now she’s taking watch outside of the cabin
-Rock’s been preparing provisions in case of emergency
-That’s a pretty song
-Where did you hear it from? (…)
-Hu hu hu
-I viewed it from the TV. For myself, I really love that song.
p. 52
-But you know
-If Mister wants to more than just my song, (?)
-You can be the first
-He
-Hey?
-Mister,
-What do you feel is the difference between us
-In a different place…I must seem a person from a different world.
-…Before I said things that were strange, right
-I’m not familiar with this sort of life I guess…
-U fu fu
-Mister, you’re a good person
-Me
-Are good people also clever like you?
p. 53
-….it’s me
-…..is this Balalaika?
-I know what path you’re taking, Dutch.
-How long do you plan to be a recluse with that craft
-Do you think that this phone is also (secure? I can’t read the kanji)
-There are a lot of obstacles to saying (Watosappu?/What’s up?)
-By running away from a prize it seems as though you intend to put a chip on my shoulder.
-Right, Dutch.
-You
-Do you know what you’re doing?
-Certainly
-That including the price that we would receive, the reserve and what it would cost to chase us (?)
-When looking at all of that it’s lucky business. (?)
-…Dutch.
p. 54
-Why won’t you look at this logically?
- (Shrapnel love main morality thing are the kanji's individual meanings, guessing at what it means) It appears that vengeance is the main thing in your shrapneled heart.
-For the moment, I guess.
-I’m standing at a position but will change locations
-Dutch!
-Is our course north?
-Don’t think I’m doing this for any other I’m doing this thing only for you.
-Isn’t that right, Balalaika?
-Yes, that’s it Dutch
-I already came to an agreement in bargaining
-Yeah.
-It seems as though you’ve already found us.
-we’ve finished any regrets or future trouble (stopped anything from happening, I guess)
-Well then, best of luck to you
-Got it, Big Boss (or Big Rear officer?)
p. 55
-….Sergeant
-Yes
-What course do you think the Lagoon is proceeding under?
-That’s impossible to tell. We’re doing our best to herd them but they’re probably not changing (course, I think)
-That’s all right
-Bring the Trouble List with the E heading (to hire an assassin? I think)
-It’s always good to have insurance for your profits (?)
-Go and fetch our contacts
-Yes.
-That was extremely quick.
-Have you changed how you feel?
-It seems like that doesn’t it? (hmmm…)
-look at those guys
p. 56
-It was our child’s room but I was able to identify it
-That’s the Vietnam Navy
-You’re absolutely right
-They expertly made it so that we don’t have any good route
-This sea is Thai jurisdiction and they’re on the verge of making us lap backwards (go back).
-That’s Balalaika for you, Benny.
-Hotel Moscow’s power is (decaying/overriding?) authority and driving us until we’re in a corner
-Did you match wits with them?
-It’s an idiot house. This small boat has torpedoes and over there the warship has missiles
-These guys also have jurisdiction and can pass through with a good tailwind (?)
-we’ll piss them off if we try to talk so a South Ocean Island route won’t come to any sort of fruition.
-What’s your plan?
-Borneo (?)
-Melody Lee’s place? (?)
-I wonder if we’re done for
-Since we made this acquisition we haven’t had any chance at all (awk.)
-Well
-As it is, we should change course from N-NW heading.
-With this boat we can only go within range of Elroy (contact name) in Pangkalpinang (Indonesia).
-we can escape to that old geezer with that arm’s store if I remember right (the word is literally “arm”, so I don’t know how this fits in)
p. 57
-Bighorn Elroy
-Certainly looking at our alternatives, let’s go to that one (awk.)
-I got it
-Soon we’ll be able to contact them
-Ahh
-the ocean!
-Even when I come to the ocean I can’t at all look at the thing
-It’s regrettable!
-I’m sorry
-Just to make sure, we’ve changed our decision.
-It’s okay, I’m used to these things.
-About the sea,
-You haven’t seen it at all?
-I’ve never played with that thing.
-The time we went to Sicily we also were in an orphan house but,
-We always only saw the ash-colored walls.
p. 58
-The place we were born was in the middle of mountains
-In the middle of Calpachia’s (karupachia?) rocky mountains
-Always it when it (snowed? I’m guessing, can’t read the kanji), we would always feel incredibly lonely.
-When those old folks took charge of the place, it was eternally a bloody and gloomy period.
-Somehow in the past the ocean never had much of an impact through the TV
-We were kicked to the point of death, we were afraid to the point when we stopped urinating at night.
p. 59
-This is your first time, it’s good that Mister/brother is saying that (?)
-Why did God
-treat us so harshly, I wonder
p. 60
-But you know
-Brother and I took care of each other.
-The other kids that were before us were taken (away)
-that time when those kids were crying we were repetitively with a (bat/sword) beating them to the concrete floor.
-Everyone was laughing.
-Brother and I were also laughing.
-While we were laughing, I was thinking “I’m some sort of machine”
-Yeah
-Brother said we’re used for God’s machinery
-A bicycle’s tires have a purpose, moving through the world with it’s power…
-as for us, anyone’s life can be robbed like that.
-For that reason this world has used us,
-we are here for that reason as well, and only for that reason.
-Killing, to kill, we haven’t yet killed, we’re meant to dispatch those in order to keep the world spinning (?)
-….
-My brother for that reason is dying…
-don’t you think that’s sad?
p. 60
-What do you say to that? Mister
-That’s exactly what I exist here. At all times Sister and I exist together.
-For that reason we “never die”, forever we’re circling each other. (I think it’s yin/yang?)
-We’re forever together when we come and kill.
-In the past…with this sort of thing also, as the world continues to turn, we’ll kill.
-For the reason of killing, we meet all over the world, going with everyone, and that’s why we exist.
-But you know, Mister.
-Already we, when we kill, we’re never sad.
-the stink of blood, the screams, the lukewarm guts
-Now we really love those things!
p. 61
-You’re wrong
-That’s wrong.
-In this world, truly…
-the source of your happiness…it exists
-it’s all right
-Somehow blood and darkness are in your present world and it’s one-sided and lacks anything else but
-You haven’t felt…everything out there!!
-…..
-hey
-don’t cry, Mister.
-Hey, Mister.
-You’re the first person I’ve felt tenderness from.
p. 62
-That’s why
-hey
-Please, help yourself (you have my gratitude, etc…)
p. 63
-Was that Rock?
-Yeah
-Benny, my bad.
-I saw this situation happen
-The kid was troubled by what he saw.
-I got it, I’ll leave it to you.
-Hmm
-You seem like a monster but your blood’s red.
-Hey, shitty kid.
p. 64
-I’m not only your elder sister (?)
-It’s regrettable that you didn’t back then kick the bucket.
-You look like crap, shitty kid. (?)
-In this world, it’s best if you die
-You’d make everyone happy
-….hu hu
-you smell the same as I do.
-the stink of blood and gunpowder (smoke), sewage and back alley rot.
-You and I are the same thing
-mm, whatever type of individual you say you are is fine with me
-If you once again try and ridicule me, though, I’ll kill you where you stand.
-and also, it’s not funny to say that I’m the same as a killer
-you got that?
p. 65
-Shit
-Shit
-Dammit!
-…why….
-Why does that thing have to be too much (awk.)
-…everyone has been so close (?)
-That kid has to be finished off by the tigers. (like fed to the wolves >.>)
-That person is going to be sacrificed to the tigers dammit!
-Rock
-You’ll see the truth of that thing soon.
p. 66
-Here in this sort of place
-that's a first
-we have no choice, Rock
-....
-I
-You want to save that kid?
-It's impossible
-that kid won't stop killing.
p. 67
-....anyone can
-Right now that kid showed a bit of gentleness
-Get entered into school, make friends, she can probably find happiness in that life.
-But, she hasn't been changed yet (?)
-She can't change from this, Rock.
-For that reason
-what you're talking about here should end.
p. 68
-Dutch
-It's been a long time
-Yeah, been a while.
-That is
-Is that the load this time.
-Yeah.
-It's an emergency, can you prepare a ticketed trip to somewhere else?
-(sfx: ton! = step?)
-Somehow or another I'll arrange that thing. I always do.
p. 69
-Mister!
-Let's meet again sometime okay?
-Next time with just us two
-We'll have lunch.
-Okay
-With you it'll be wonderful.
-It truly will be won-
p. 71
-.....
-ah....
-....it's so pretty
-the sky
-Why...
-Elroy
p. 72
-It was Hotel Moscow, Dutch.
-What more can I say?
-Trying to run from that organization is finished. (awk.)
-For what, 10 years I've stockpiled things with you on the water's foam , Elroy. (?)
-....
-In South Africa you're son's living.
-Two months before, a letter came from your son's bride.
-He wasn't even 34 years old but he was already ill from cancer.
-The way that you've already chosen at your age
- You're also walking a tight rope.
-This person is our last job (together).
-As for Hotel Moscow, I'm hope you're not receiving a bad amount from them.
p. 73
-....as for you, Dutch.
-you guys be proud of your work.
-Wearing those things to the end, doing precisely dirty work. (hmm...)
-Farewell.
-....
-In her dying moments she said “The sky is pretty.”
-She wasn't tense/afraid.
-Rock.
-Give me the compass
-Don't try to cover up the body.
-....don't go there (?)
-Dutch.
p. 74
-It's okay
-Up until now
-Looking up at the sky
-She's viewing the ocean as she sleeps.
