Maybe a good news to you all, there is gonna be a new translator on scanlator's team to translate this series with me. I just noticed I can't really use Elithabethan english well enough to make the translation better...
Also, looking for HQ scans [hopefully from Tanks] to make this series even better!

Enough of talking, here is the trans

Chapter 04: Regional Delicacy Nanana [T/N it sounds a bit strange]
Usagi Dojo
starts off with these members!
Can they run straight forward?

Page 01
Text: where’s is he going with one of his disciple? [i’m kinda thinking to use disciple- master relationship for now. Sorry for changing it abruptly. Maybe I will sometimes switch instructor with master. ]

Master Gosuke, what’s your ladyship’s age? [trying to make it sound a bit more like old English]

Hmm, it’s the same as mine.// 15…probably

How does she look like?

She has a round eye…and is short of one tooth
But why would you ask me such thing?

Well, I don’t really know // I’m just curious about the fact you are married

Are we not there just yet?

Almost!

(He’s one of the disciples of the Usagi Style Dojo, Chiyokichi // we are heading to the village he lived in…)

The reason is that yesterday…
When the three came to pay their entrance fee…

Page 02
Now the entrance fee can be paid in products instead of money // usually people pay the owner in firewood, candles, or seed oil, things that have quite a value
Or so I heard…but…

All right, I shall be the first…

Here ya go

Thi-this is…
Pornography!!? [T/N in Japanese it’s written: Spring (as in the season) Book]

Pornography: It means these are obscene books!!

I…I Can’t take these things!

What are you saying? // You will grow tired of wife in no time

These are precious and rare porns. Enjoy them // until they become boring [T/N Here he says until they become winter books]

Vassal Lord
Settsu Masayuki

The one who’s joking around is my brother-in-law… // in other word he’s the brother of Shino
And the one who just paired us up to his likings alone

Page 03
It seems like he applied after seen our effort // though I’ve a mountain load of things to ask him
I decided to treat him the same way as other applicants

How about… quiting smoking inside the dojo…

Why? That’s so strict

Is…he …harassing me…?

Hey…what’s your name?

Maro…

Or he says. // I don’t really understand his nature since he’s quite taciturn…
But I noticed him swinging the Shinai [sword made from Bamboo] silently in the corner of the dojo // so he’s probably not a bad person either

What…on earth is this…?

………a bonito…

…though this is indeed a charm of good luck… // it’s probably been dead for 10 days…

(I don’t think he’s a bad person…)

Master Gosuke // please have this…

He’s the last one…
OOOoo!!
His is the first one that really looks like a gift!

I’m so moved… // for you to bring me this tasty-looking herb rice cake!

Hehe // I’m glad you are pleased!

But that’s only nature! // because it was made in my village!

Chiyokichi is one of the peasants from a farming village outside Edo// though his appearance is much better than the other two…

Shall I have one right now?
Please! Feel free to have some

Page 05
Oueeee!!

Hah, hah

Gocchin, why are you so voracious? // it’s all because you ate that rotten bonito!
No…I …threw that away right after the meeting…

Maybe that Herb Rice cake was rotten as well, // it didn not only taste terrible but also breaks down your stomach…

Ehh… I don’t feel well…
Maybe I should take a break for tomorrow’s training…

Master Gosuke!
Hmm?

It was Chiyokichi // I thought he came to apologize for the rice cakes
So I decided to hear what he’s got to say

What’s… wrong…why this late in the night…?
Sorry for disturbing your household // but I’ve something to say…

Page 06
Please come with me!
I want you to come to my village… because there are quite an amount of requests there!

Chiyokichi…these rice cakes…

Ah that! It was good wasn’t it? // the herb used to make them is the regional delicacy for my village!

Regional Delicacy…? // to honest, even though he begged me to do so, I would never have gone to his village…
However…
Out of only three disciples… // he looked the most promising…
I will be in much trouble if he left
So I began preparing for the trip…
And headed toward Chiyokichi’s village…

Here your hat // your medicine// and your mask

My mask?

It’s great, I tell you! I just invented this new style! // it’s really funny!

(It doesn’t look even slightly different to me…)

Page 07

The Usagi Style Dojo…
Is quite a good dojo

Hmm…you think so?

I actually looked through loads of dojos
Even though I had things I wanted to do, // all of them tried to force their ideology or whatever on me

And Master is super strong as well! // I heard you crushed the other group and took it over from them?

Hmm…the way you say it is kinda wierd…// But that’s basically what happened…

Hey Hey, whaccha gonna do, you filthy blood is now on my precious mask?

I wanna be stronger by learning from someone like you…
Or rather…

I really have to
Become stronger

We are here!

Page 08
This is my village
Namely Nanana Village!


The numerous papier mache resembling grass... // and banners with excessive amount of "Na" on them...

Whispered, "You better go back to where you belong"



Banner: Welcome to

Where Nanana herbs are cultivated at

Nanana Villlage!



Page 09

Master Gosuke! This way! // I'll introduce you to the chief first!

Hm,...all rig...



Wait!!



Uwaaaa!!



Come back // don't run~



Looks like without wasting much time

I can take care of this business



Page 10

We are saved!

Thank you, Mr. Samurai!



To think that there is a grass monster... // you didn't tell me that, Chiyokichi



Yeah, of course I didn't



Because THAT is

The village chief



Page 11

For the rudeness earlier

I'm apologize sincerely!



No no it's all right, Mr. Samurai

You didn't know of the costume of the festival, and besides // according to chiyokishi we can rely on you for help as well...



Ha..., of course!!



You are probably exhausted and hungry from the journey // or maybe from beating up this old man? // go and prepare some food



He's completely enjoying himself... [T/N Not sure. Ne ni Motsu...?]



This is our best known delicacy

Nanana soup





Page 12

It's right in front of me...// since I shall never make the mistake of eating this // I decided to divert the topic



...Even...if you say this is your best known delicacy...

I've not really heard about this herb called Nanana...what is it...? [



Na? What? You don't know Nanana? [T/N He's saying so many "na"s that Gosuke is getting a little irritate, lol]



As this name of this village, Nanana Village suggests, // this is a village flourished from the cultivation of Nanana Herb. [T/N Nana=seven Na= herb/grass/weed]

Many travellers looking for Nanana came here // and our village prospered from money made in trading...



However, every year less people visited the village // And not only that, even the youngster began to abondon village



Despite the fact we have all devoted ourselves to the cultivation of Nanana...

None of us...// have an idea about what's wrong...



Page 13

Now i take a look at this thing called Nanana herb... // i noticed this is what people called "the ordinary weed"



even without cultivation, You can find them wherever you wish to...



Maybe it was good a long time when there was no food...

But there are tons of real gourmet in the streets of Edo...

There is no way someone's gonna like the Nanana enough to eat it...

Or so I thought, but // the situation here prevented to say it aloud...



This is real good, Nanana Soup!

The ones who don't appreciate stuff this good are real idiots!

Gimme more!



That man...

He's already on his 7th bowl...



Somehow in this village

I'm the one who's completely wrong...



Everyone, how long do you plan to sit here and do nothing?

There's only one reason to the village's decline!



Page 14

...we were abondoned...// by "Nanagami sama"



To my grief...// Chiyokichi was no exception either...



Wha...don't say things that will get all of us into trouble, you bastard Chiyokichi!



There's no way for such thing to happen!



What? Despite the fact that you are all thinking of it? // I just said what you couldn't say!



It looked Nanagami-sama is

The protector deity for Nanana whom they have been worshiping for a long time



Everyone knows the reason, right?

The reason I took Master Gosuke here...



I can't put up with this any longer // with Nanana and Nanagami-sama...



Even if I have been devoting myself all this time...

And still we get nothing in turn,

I'm never going to forgive them!



Please forgive him...// Chiyokichi has been Nanagami-sama's

Priests since his childhood, // and he believes in our god more than anybody in this village



The words of a priest like him...// might actually be true...

For now, we have been enlarging the scale of the festival each year... // two of the youngster left the village today once again...



All right, Everyone!

We shall hold another festival tonight!

On his back: "Na"
And if the things doesn't change, then...

We shall bet

Our future on Chiyokichi's plan...



Singing: Naa NA Naa Naa Na ...

And being unable to say i have something else to do, // they villagers held the largest ever

Nanana Festival in the village history

But of course, the festival was quite a failure

And on next morning,

Another Youngster abondoned his village



I'm Hungry... // but if I ate this again...



Are you not going to eat, sir?



Page 17

Fuaaa // afuu

Hmmm // I couldn't sleep well with an empty stomach...



Master Gosuke!!

Huh?



Please make the preparations

For departure!



Heh?

Bu-But where?


How could you not know?

On the tip of the Nanana Mountain // is the Holy Body of Nanagami-sama



Ha...haa...?



Why are you being so slow!



Page 18

I'm asking you to help me...

Cut the thing down in half!



Text: As the master,

The first thing he has to encounter is actually "god"



Ha...?

What a cursed action to take... // Shino...what on earth is going to happen to me...?
