Page 06
Restaurant guy：バ　バカかおめぇは！ガキだからって
A-Are you stupid!? You’re just a kid
Restaurant guy：城下でそんなこと言うな！
So don’t go saying stuff like that around here!

Gama：何で？
Why not?
Restaurant guy：くっ
Kuh
Restaurant guy：そ　それはだな・・・・
W-Well that’s-

Shinsuke：オヤッさ~~~~~ん！！

Shinsuke

Shinsuke：すげぇの見たぜぇ！
I just saw something incredible!
Shinsuke：今　そこであの「酔い梅庵」が戦ってたんだ！
“Baian the Drunkard” was fighting over there just now!

Shinsuke：ありゃ実際見たら腰ぬかすぜ！！
If you had actually seen it, it would’ve knocked you on your ass!!
Shinsuke：この泰平の世に他藩じゃ生きてけねぇ怪物だ！！
A beast like that couldn’t exist anywhere else in this peaceful world!!

Restaurant guy：・・・・
....
Gama：パイアン？
Paian?
Shinsuke：バイアン~~！！
Baiaaann!!

Restaurant guy：・・・・・・
......
Restaurant guy：フン
Hmph
Restaurant guy：梅庵だけじゃねぇ
It’s not just Baian

Page 07
Restaurant guy：ここにいるのは天下無双って称号の魔力に取りつかれた鬼ばかりさ
This is place is full of demons who are possessed by the magic of the title of “unrivaled”
Restaurant guy：まったく“鬼の巣”なんて呼ばれるにふさわしい藩だよ・・・・
This fiefdom certainly deserves to be called “The Demons’ Lair”....

Restaurant guy：だからガキが挑むなんてのは・・
That’s why a kid saying he wants to challenge them is..
Restaurant guy：ん？
Huh?
Gama：その
This Baian guy
Gama：梅庵て人強いの？
Is he strong?
Gama：ねぇ
Hey
Shinsuke：あ？
Huh?

Restaurant guy：話聞―て！
Listen to me!
Gama：え？
Huh?

Restaurant guy：身のほど知らずにもほどがある
There’s limits to not knowing your place
Restaurant guy：もし　ここで自分が一番強いなんて言った奴は必ず・・・・
Anyone who says they’re the strongest here will almost certainly be....

Baian：・・・・殺される？
....Killed?
Restaurant guy：！
!

Page 08
Baian：でも俺は結構気に入ってるんだけどな？血の気の多いこの藩
But, I kinda like this fiefdom full of hotheads, y’know?

Baian：何だって
Most of all
Baian：二、三人殺したくらいじゃ誰もガタガタ言わないあたりがね
I like the fact that no one around here makes a fuss if you kill a couple of folks

Page 09
Gama：どーでもいいけどアンタ酒くさすぎる
Whatever, you reek of sake
Gama：寄るな
Stay back
Baian：ん？
Huh?
Baian：くさいだなんてお酒に失礼だな
Saying “reek” is rude to the sake

Baian：子供は早く帰るんだね
You should hurry on home, child

Baian：お酒に対してあんまり失礼なこと言ってると
You keep saying rude things about my sake
Baian：おしおきしちゃうよ♥
And I’m gonna give you a scolding ♥

Baian：（何だコイツ・・・・）
(What’s with this guy....?)
Baian：（酒つぼにチュウって・・）
(He kissed a sake pot..)
Baian：中々の変態とみた
You seem like a real pervert

That’s why I said it’s dangerous here..
Baian：「鬼の巣」は・・
“The Demons’ Lair”
Baian：子供は少々危険な場所だからね・・・・
Is a pretty treacherous place for a child....

Page 12
Baian：ハッハッハじゃあね~~
Ha ha ha, seeeee ya

Gama：・・・・・・！？
......!?
Gama：（あれってもしかして・・）
(Could that have been..)

Gama：（長刀！）
(A naginata!*)
MARGIN NOTE: *Japanese pole arm. Basically a sword attached to the end of a long stick.
Baian：もう空かよ！
Empty already!?

Gama：・・・・へぇ
....Hmm

Gama：おっちゃんちょっと借りるよ
I’m gonna borrow one of these, gramps
Restaurant guy：へ？
Huh?

Page 13
Baian：くそ
Shit
Baian：買わないとな・・・・
Now I gotta buy more....

Baian：（・・・・しかしあのボーヤ）
(....But that boy)
Baian：（俺の“燕”を鼻血のみでかわすなんて・・・・）
(I can’t believe he dodged my “tsubame”* and only got a nosebleed....)
MARGIN NOTE: *Technique name. Means “Swallow” (the bird).

Box：“燕”
“Tsubame”
Box：「斬」と「突」を上手く混ぜ
A technique that skillfully combines “cutting” and “thrusting”
Box：速さを落とさず「間合い」を伸ばす技
And extends your range without sacrificing speed

Baian：（並の武芸者なら反応出来ずに顔面が二つに割れているはず――――）
(A normal martial artist would’ve had his face split in two without even being able to react-------)

Gama：・・・・ねぇ
....Hey
Gama：どうせならもっと見せてくれよ・・・・
In that case, how about you show me some more....
Gama：長刀（それ）
Of your naginata
Baian：出ろ出ろ
Come out come out

Gama：ん？
Hm?
Baian：（まさか――――）
(No way------)

Page 16
Gama：ありゃ！？
What!?
Gama：梅庵さんだっけこの技案外難しいね
Baian-san was it? This technique is harder than I thought
Gama：腰の使い方か？
Is the trick in the hips?
Gama：あんたほど切先伸びないな・・
The tip of mine won’t extend as far as yours..

Baian：（バカな・・！ありえない！）
(Ridiculous..! It can’t be!)

Baian：（一見しただけで）
(Just by taking one look at it)
Gama：くそやめた！
Damn, I give up!
Baian：（技の仕組みを見ぬき自分のモノにしたのか！？）
(He saw how the technique worked and made it his own!?)

Baian：！
!

Page 17
Gama：俺は黒鉄我間

Nachi：おぬしも跡目争いに参加したいと申すか？
And that you want to participate in the battle to be the successor?

Naoyoshi：私の母上は卑しき身分かもしれません・・・・
My mother may be a commoner....
Naoyoshi：でも私も父上の実の子です
But I am a true son of my father

Nachi：仕合の話どこで知ったのです？
Where did you learn of the tournament?
Nachi：それも殿の間に許しなく侵入した上参加させよとは
There’s that, as well as your entering the daimyo’s quarters without permission and telling him to let you participate

Nachi：普通ならば乱心者として
Normally, you would be beheaded

As a lunatic....

Naosada：そろそろ酒はやめにして策戦でもねらんのか？
Don’t you think it’s about time you quit the sake and worked on your strategy?

Page 51
Baian：んん？
Hmm?
Baian：酒はダメですか？直定様
Is sake not allowed, Naosada-sama?

Baian：ハハハ　しかし付け焼き刃の凡策なんかより
Hahaha in a serious fight, peace of mind is more important
Baian：真剣勝負で大切なのは平常心
Than some silly plan thought up in haste
Baian：普段と違った行動は禁物なんですよ
Behavior that differs the norm is forbidden

Baian：今日はやる気の出ることでもおありで？
Something happen today that’s got you all worked up?
