This was done for my lovely buddy Magicbulletgirl. She's already done a scantlation that you can pick up here http://www.mediafire.com/?tmnts3nbzbd
So I guess I don't need to bother in saying that this translation is only for her ^_^. It's a funny story with pretty good art, so I hope you'll enjoy!



{I n Edo Era...}

{There was once the existence of an inhuman amount of power,}

{The possessors of which were the 'kabuki players'}

{The Samurai used all of their valor to fight against these scoundrels,}

{But it was a single priestess that dealt the final blow.}

{This priestess's name was Izumono Okuni.}

I'd love to help out, but we're set to go on stage in 5 minutes.....

{Lately there's been a weirdo attacking people...so if you can don't walk around alone okay?}
{There's a chance that the thief might try to get you too....so be careful...okay?}

Izumo: I've got a really bad feeling about this....

Hey pops,

I'm going to go take a quick look around.

Sakura: No way...

{Tonight's my debut performance!}

{You'd better come and watch!}

Isn't there, can I?

Sakura: Ikkun....

Baddie: Che...

Baddie: Oh? So you know of us...?

You're rather learned aren't you...

Before you tried to cut this umbrella but failed didn't you?

(Sfx- Ton ton pat pat)

032

Baddie: We 'kabuki players' posses a power passed down from our ancestors and left in these 'mementos'

Well in any case those without the gift cannot tell what they are.

I thought no one knew about this strength of mine...

But to think someone does understand the 'Kabuki players'...

Izumo: Heh! What's so great about you guys?

That name means nothing now!

(Sfx- Zasu zatsu swif swif)

Izumo: Besides, I heard that you guys were no more than common street trash...

Right?

Baddie: Bastard...

Izumo: You...

Baddie: Do you think that you a common brat can win against me?

Even if you could somehow win...

Without a priestess from the Edo era, you won't be able to stop me for long!!

(Sfx- Hahahahah!!)

035

(Sfx- Zaa)

Izumo: Ready for it?

Baddie: Huh?

Were you listeing to me?

Baddie: But i've got something to tell you.

There are still plenty of 'Kabuki players' like myself left...

And you think that you have the power to exterminate all of them, just because your her desendent?

Though...

Man you look like a girl! In fact her spitting image....

Izumo: SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!!!

Baddie: It doesn't matter who you are or aren't,

I've got to take this opportunity!
(Sfx- Cha chack)

Izumo: You're annoying asshat.

Talking about face this, face that!

Listen. A man's not about how he looks....

But what's in his heart!!

043

Izumo: Well I guess this is falling on deaf ears anyway, since your hearts rotten to the core.

You left your manliness somewhere far away didn't you?

Izumo: Well...

Things are never what they seem....

(Sfx- Pipo pipo weooo we oooo)

047

Yakumo: Well well! It's nice to see that the two of you came back safe and sound.

But Sakura you must have been scared!

To be followed around by such a creep.

Sakura: Oh But I'm fine Sir!

(Handwritten- Although I don't remember much...)

{But back then....Ikkun...}
