一の太刀　「疾」
1ST Strike – Hayate

Yoichi : ふうっ　今晩の飯　確保でこざる
Hmm… Guess this settles dinner

Yoichi’s father : 甘いわ　与一!
How naive, Yoichi!

Yoichi’s father : かようにスキだらけの状態で
Your current position has too many openingｓ

Yoichi’s father : わしの技を受け切ることができ…
I can land a strike on you…

Yoichi : スキだらけござる　父上
Dad, you are the one that is full of openings

Yoichi’s father : お見事
Great move


Page 11

Yoichi’s father : 与一　
Yoichi

Yoichi’s father : この山でお前を育って17年
I have raised you on this mountain for 17 years

Yoichi’s father : 辛い修業に耐え　よう強く　なったものだ
After enduring tough training, you have become stronger

Yoichi : ありがとうございます　父上
Thank you for training me, Dad.

Yoichi’s father : しかし　このままでは　お前にはこれ以上　強くなることはできぬ！
BUT　If this carries on, you can not grow any more stronger!

Yoichi : な　なぜです?!　拙者　もっと強くなりとうございます!
W-Why?　I want to grow stronger!


Page 12

Yoichi’s father : 与一　お前はまだこの山の外の世界を知らぬ
Yoichi　You still do not know the world beyond this mountain

Yoichi’s father : 山を下れば　様々な心を持つ者に出会い　様々な物に触れる事ができよう
If you descend this mountain, you would meet various sincere people, come into contact with many different things

Yoichi’s father : 「知識」ではなく、「経験」 が必要なのだ
Experience, not knowledge, is important (for your training)

Yoichi’s father : 経験は必ずや　お前の心を強くする
*Experience* would definitely strengthen your spirit and soul!

Yoichi’s father : 山を下れ　与一！
Descend this mountain, Yoichi!

Yoichi’s father : 剣のみでなく　己の心を磨け!
Strengthen your spirit as well, not just your sword fighting skills!

Yoichi’s father :そしてもことに強き武士となるのだ！
And you would become a brilliant Bushi!

Yoichi : …は…
Oh…

Yoichi : はい父上っ！
Yes, Dad!

Yoichi : この烏丸与一　必ずや立派な武士となりまする!
I, Karasuma Yoichi, would definitely become a brilliant Bushi!

Yoichi’s father : うむ！
Yes!

Yoichi’s father : 期待しておるぞ!　与一!
I have high hopes for you, Yoichi!

Yoichi’s father : はーっはっはっはっはっは
Ha ha ha ha ha

Yoichi’s father : 言えない
I can’t tell you

Yoichi’s father : お前がわしより強くなっちゃったからなんて絶対言えない
Never will I tell you that you have grown stronger than me…

Yoichi’s father : 街中にて道場を開く斑鳩家は我らと同じく浮羽神風流を継ぐ家
The Ikaruga house has opened an academy within the city. They, like us, inherited and practise the same “Ukiha kamikaze Swordplay”.

Yoichi’s father : 頼ればきっとなんとかしてくれるじゃろう！
If I ask, they will definitely help you in any way they can!

Yoichi : おおーッ！
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!

Policeman : 良かったんですか？　帰しちゃって…
Would it be alright? Letting them go home just like that…

Policeman : うーん　まあ　悪い人じゃなさそうだし…
It’s ok. He doesn’t seem like a bad person…


Page 25

Ibuki : こ…これが斑鳩道場…!
So this is Ikaruga Dojo!

Ibuki : オンボロでしょう？　恥ずかしい…

Ah does this mean that I would be living with Ibuki dono only without her parents in this house?

If whatever I think makes me fantasize, that’s perfect proof of my immaturity!

Yoichi :　さすが　父上　斑鳩家が拙者にとって最高の修業の場であるとわかっていたのでござるな!!
Dad must have knew that the Ikaruga House is the best training ground for me!　As expected from him!

偶然です
This is a coincidence

I must show to Dad that I will be able to live up to his expectations! Definitely…er…er…

Yoichi :　かわやに行きたいでござる

Excuse me Ibuki-dono

Yoichi :　少々わかやを
Please let me use your toilet…


Page 31

Ayame : あーいい湯だった…
Ah…the bath was so refreshing…

Ayame : …あ?
Eh?


Page 32

Ayame : きゃ…ムグっ
Ah…mmph

Yoichi :　固めてどうする？
What should I do if it stiffens up?
(in case you are wondering, Yoichi did not mention what “it” was. As such, I am leaving it as “it”. Please use your imagination )

Ayame : む…む…
Mmph…mmph…

Ayame : む…む…
Mmph…mmph…

Yoichi :　いや拙者 あやしい者ではござらんのじゃ
Don’t worry, I am not someone with evil intentions

Page 36

Ibuki : うるさいんだからいちの妹達は
My sisters are making a din

Ibuki : うーん
Hmmm

Ibuki : 道着じゃ　女の子らしくないかな…
Wearing this attire doesn’t look feminine

Ibuki : やっぱりお洋服の方がいいかしら
Maybe wearing casual clothes would be better after all

Ibuki : いけないっ　私ったら何舞い上がってるの!?
This is wrong. Why am I getting excited over this?

Ibuki : 与一さんは修行いらしてるだけなのに!
Yoichi san is only here for training!

Ibuki : 浮かれてしまっていては与一さんに申し訳ないわ!
It would be unfair to Yoichi san if I don’t take this seriously!

Ibuki : こら　あなた達－!　お客様いらしてるんだから
Keep it down, you all! There is a guest in the house

Chihaya : あーいぶき姉 変な客来たっスよー

Ibuki : 与一さんあんなする事する人だったなって　それとも何かの事故だったのかしら
It is strange for Yoichi to do something like this… or could be an accident of some sort?


Page 38
Ayame : あたしは反対だぜ　こんな変態と同居なんて
I object to living under the same roof with such a pervert!

Ibuki : あやめ!　ケータイいじりながら人と話すのはやめなさい
Ayame! Don’t talk to others and play with your mobile phone at the same time!

Yoichi : おおっ　これが携帯できる電話でござるか…!
Oooh... is this a phone that you can carry around with?

Yoichi : 文明の利器
A useful invention

Ayame : テメェ　自分の立場をわかってんのか!?
You're not fit to talk to me like that!

Ayame : ちはやも嫌だろ?　こんなこと…
Chihaya, you also wouldn’t like this as well?

Chihaya : ボクは別にいいっスよ
I don’t really mind

Ayame : え!?
What!?

Chihaya : 物騒な世の中だしもしもの時男がいた方が安心じゃないっスか
In this dangerous world we live today, it would be safer if a man is around when anything bad happens.

Moreover…

Chihaya : 漫画食ってるボクとしては　与一さんに興味津々っスね
As an avid manga lover, I am extremely interested in Yoichi

Yoichi : え?

A youth who had stayed in the mountains, practicing martial arts all his life – isn’t this so interesting?

Yoichi : ち…ちはや殿　 ム…ムネが…
Chi…Chihaya-dono, your breasts are

Ibuki : やめなさいちはや！　はなしなさい
Stop it Chihaya! Let go of Yoichi

Yoichi : なぜ拙者まで…
Why even I was hit?

Ayame : どーせあたしは貧乳だし!
My breasts are small after all!

Chihaya : 何ギレ?!
What’s that supposed to mean?

Kagome : わたしのパンツ…
My underwear…

Ayame : なあ　かごめはどう思う?
Hey Kagome, what are your thoughts on this?

Kagome : え
Eh?

Yoichi : な　なんかすこぐ傷つく!!
L-Looks like she is extremely scared!!

Ayame : だいたい頭オカシイじゃん!　会った事もない烏丸オッサンだか何だかの言う事ホイホイ聞き入れてさ!
Are you nuts? How could you easily believe the words of this Karasuma old geezer or whatever when you have never met him before?

Ibuki : 斑鳩と烏丸家は祖を同じくする旧知の仲間の!　会った事なくても信用できる方よ!
The Ikaruga and Karasuma families share the same ancestors, so they are our old comrades!
They are people that we can trust even though we did not meet them before!


Page 40

Ayame : 矢文でしか連絡くれねえ奴の何が信用できるんだよ!
How can we trust someone that has only contacted us through Yabumi?

Ayame : ガキでもケータイ持ってる時代だぞ!?
Even kids have mobile phones nowadays!

Ibuki : メールも矢文も一緒でしょ!?
Aren’t SMS and Yabumi the same?

Ayame : 一緒じゃねえぇ!!
They’re NOT!

Chihaya : ふええ…おねえちゃん
Waaa… Big sister

Chihaya : あーまた始まった　終わるまで寝てていーっスでかね？　徹夜はキツイッス…
Ahh – It started again. Can I sleep until all of this is over? Staying up late is such a pain …

Yoichi : やめかぬ　二人とも!!
Would you both stop this!

Yoichi : 与一さん…
Yoichi-san

Ayame : ああ!？
Eh?

Yoichi : 二人とも同じ血をわけた姉妹であろう!　仲良くせぬか!
Both of you share the same blood! Learn to get along with each other!


Page 41

Ibuki : 与一さん
Yoichi

Ibuki　:　どこに触ってるんですか
Just where are your filthy hands touching?

Yoichi : はっ…
Ahhh…

Yoichi :　ちょっとー　誤解でござるって!
Hold on! I said it was all a misunderstanding!

Ibuki　: えぇえぇ　よーくわかりました　しばらくお一人で煩悩でもとり払ってたら?
Yeah Yeah, I understand what you are driving at. Why don’t you TAKE YOUR TIME to purge all your perverted desires?

Yoichi : 全然わかってないでござる!
I’m not like what you think!


Page 42

Ibuki : …はぁ
Ha

Ibuki : 何期待してたんだろ　バカみたい
Just when I had high hopes for this… I feel like an idiot


Page 43

No, I’m the one at fault here.　My mind is so weak…

Yoichi : おなごの色香に　こうも簡単に惑わされてしまうとは…
The scent of a woman… if I am so easily seduced by it…


Page 44

Yoichi : はっ
Ha

Yoichi :　えーいっ　だからこの妄想がいかんのでござるってば
Aaaa—aah! That’s why fantasizing about these things is wong!

Yoichi : 精神統一　精神統一　ひたすら剣に励むべし
Focus! Focus! I should focus entirely on martial arts!

Yoichi :　め…飯の香り…!
The scent of cooked rice!

Yoichi :　あやつらめ自分達だけ飯を食っておるのか!?
Those bastards … are they having dinner without me?

Yoichi :　お…おのれェ斑鳩姉妹っ　なんたる屈辱よ…!
Those Ikaruga sisters … they have insulted my pride!

Yoichi :　いたしかた　こうなったのも自業自得であろう
I can’t blame them either, what had happened was the result of my doing

Yoichi :　自炊する野草でも探してくるか…
Shall I go and look for some wild plants and make my own dinner then


Page 45

Washizu : ったくマジ　何だよ　あのサムライ　
Really, what’s with that samurai?

Washizu :　マジ恥じかかせやがってよぉ
He really embarrassed me

Torigaya : マジ気にする事ねーぜ　わっさん
Wa-san, don’t let it get to you!

Torigaya : あんな奴油断してなきゃ　敵じゃねーよ　マジ!
As long you are not careless with those kind of jokers, they aren’t a match for you, really!


Torigaya : なんなら探し出してマジ　仲間全員でボコってやろうぜ
Why don’t we gather all the brothers, look for him and hammer him silly?

Scary … don’t take it out on me , man!

Washizu :　…あの野郎…
That bastard

Washizu :　あの時　木刀が当たる寸前で一瞬止めやがった
At that time – when his wooden sword was on the verge of hitting me, he stopped for a second


Page 46

Washizu :　風圧だけであんなに飛ばされたつてのかよ…!
He was able to pull off that just by using wind pressure?

Washizu :　ちくしょう…
Damn it…

Torigaya :　あ
Eh?

Washizu :　あいつ…
That bastard…

Washizu :　相当弱ってないか…?
He looks considerably weakened?


Page 47

Torigaya :　わっさん!
Wa-san

Washizu :　てめえ　さっきよくも…
You bastard, for what you did the previous time…

Yoichi :　あ?　誰でござるかお主?
Hah? Who might you be?

Yoichi :　すまぬが　拙者　食料を探しておるゆえ…
I’m sorry, I am looking for food right now

Washizu :　待て　コラァ!
Stop right there!

Yoichi :　 …ああ

Yoichi :　すまぬが　拙者　今　腹が減っていてな
Sorry, I am hungry now

Yoichi :　実力を思う存分出せそうにないのでござる
So as much as I want to, I won’t be able to display my full ability

Washizu :　でめっ…
You bastard…

Yoichi :　だからな
Therefore,

Yoichi :　幸運に感謝せよ　クズ男
Thank your lucky stars, loser!

Yoichi :　今ならお主のようなヘタレでも拙者を倒せるやもしれむからな
It’s only times like this that you losers would be able to beat me!

Yoichi :　いざ尋常に　勝負!!
Let the match begin!
(Literal meaning : Fair and square – Engrade! )

Asshole!

Don’t mess with me!

Washizu :　ハッ!
Hah!

Torigaya :　ナイス!
Great punch!

Torigaya :　クク…わっさん昔ボクザー目指したんだ　本気になりゃあ こんな奴大した事ねーよ！
Hehe…Wa-san used to train as a boxer. If he gets serious, this kind of idiots won’t stand a chance!

Yoichi :　…なんじゃ
…Why

Page 51

Yoichi :　どれだけ性根の曲がった拳をたたきこんでくるかと思えば･･･
Just when I thought what kind of punch your twisted self can pull off

Yoichi :　とても真っすぐな良い拳ではないか!
What a great punch you have!

Washizu :　…は?
Ha?

Yoichi :　ならば拙者手加減無用
Looks like I don’t need to hold back

Yoichi :　本気で相手いたさねばなるまい一!
I would have to take this seriously then!

Ha?　Stay there ! The victor has not been decided …?

Torigaya :　わっさん!?
Wa-san?


Page 54

Washizu :　何だ…?　関節にまるで力が入らねえ　痛みまるでねえのに
What’s this? I don’t feel any strength in my joints… I don’t feel any pain either?

Yoichi :　安心せい　しばらくすれば元に戻るゆえ
Relax, it would return to normal after a while

Yoichi :　拙者の名は烏丸与一　お主の名は?
My name is Karasuma Yoichi, what yours?

Washizu :　…? わ…鷲津　涼…
Wa…Washizu Ryou

Yoichi :　そうか　鷲津殿か
Oh…So your name is Washizu eh?

Torigaya :　ひょ…わっさんのパンチきいてね－のか?
Could it be … your punch had no effect no him?

Washizu :　 とても真っすぐな良い拳ではないか!
What a great punch you have!

Washizu :　くそっ!　 何だよアイツ…!
Damn it! Just what on earth was that?

Ibuki : あっ
Ah

Ibuki :　鷲津くん
Washizu-kun

Ibuki :　こんばんは
Hello


Page 56

Washizu :　あ　い　斑鳩さん…
Ah I-Ikaruga san

Ibuki :　どうしたの　大丈夫?　立てる?
What happened? Are you all right? Are you able to stand up?

Ibuki :　じゃあね鷲津くん!　あまり学校休んじゃだめだよ!
See you again Washizu-kun! You should skip class so often!

Torigaya :　あ－わっさんのクラスの子か…マジかわい－よな
Ah – Is that Wa-san’s classmate? She is sure cute…

Washizu :　手ェ　握っちゃった…
She grabbed my hand…

Torigaya :　あ?
Hah?

Washizu :　なあ　鳥谷　俺　やられたトコ見られてないよな!?
Torigaya! That chick didn’t see me getting thrashed right?

Torigaya :　え?
Say that again?

Washizu :　な!?
Right?

Torigaya :　わ…わっさんねえけど…地面にヒザついてんのは
Wa – Wa-san … You were on your knees

Torigaya :　変に思ったかも…な…
She might have thought that something strange happened … maybe

Washizu :　ちくしょ－　あのサムライ野郎
Damn it, that samurai son-of-a-bitch

Washizu :　斑鳩さんの前で恥かかせやがって…!!
How dare he embarrass me in front of Ikaruga san?

Washizu :　今度会ったらタダじゃおかね－!!
The next time we meet, I won’t let you off so easily!

Yoichi :　はあ…
Ah…

Yoichi :　ぬかったわ
I did not expect

Yoichi :　都会ちっとも食料が落ちてないのでござるな
The city to be so devoid of food

Yoichi :　くっ…食え死にほど武士の恥ッ
Grrrr … Dying of starvation is an disgrace for Bushis

Yoichi :　いっそこのまま切腹
I would rather commit seppaku here and now

Ibuki : 木刀でお腹を切れるワケないでしょう!?
You can’t possibly slice your stomach with a wooden sword right?


Page 58

Yoichi :　いぶき殿!
Ibuki – dono!

Ibuki : 全く　こんな所で何やってるんですか!?
Really, what are you doing in a place like this?

Ibuki : 出かけるなら一言言って下さいね
If you are going out of the house, please tell me so

Ibuki : さあ帰りましょう
Come on, let’s go home

Yoichi :　ま　待ってくれ　このまま食えて死んでいくのだけは
W-wait a moment … At least let me stay like this and starve to death…

Ibuki : だから帰りましょう
Like I was saying, let’s go home

Ibuki : せっかく作ったごはん冷めちゃいますよ!
The dinner I specially prepared for you will become cold!

Yoichi :　… 拙者の分も作っていてくれたのでざるか?
… You made my share as well?

Ibuki : 当たり前じゃないですか!
Isn’t that obvious?


Page 59

Yoichi :　こんなに息を切られして…　
Seeing how breathless she is,

Yoichi :　必死に探してくれていたのでござるか
She must have been frantically searching for me…

Yoichi :　 いぶき殿!
Ibuki – dono!

Yoichi :　拙者の未熟さゆえ不快な思いをさせて申し訳なかった!
I apologise for causing so much of trouble because of my immature behaviour

Yoichi :　一刻も早く一人前の武士となれるように鍛錬に励む所存にござる!
I would train and strive to be strong, dependable and trustworthy Bushi as quickly as possible!

Yoichi :　だから…その…
That’s why… Erm…

Ibuki :　…そうですね　
Is this so?

Ibuki :　本当に励んで頂けないと!
You better buck up then!


Page 60

Ibuki :　…わからない
I really don’t know

Ibuki :　いい人なのか…　ただのスケベな人なのか…
Whether is he a good guy or a pevert …

Ibuki :　でも…
But

Ibuki’s vision of Yoichi : 拙者の未熟さゆえ不快な思いをさせて申し訳なかった!
I apologise for causing so much of trouble because of my immature behaviour

Ibuki :　とてもまっすぐな目だった
Yoichi was really serious when he said that

Ibuki :　信じてみてもいいのかな…
Would it be alright to try to trust him more?


Page 61

Ayame : ぜーったい認めねえ!!
I ABSOLUTELY disapprove of him staying with us!

Ayame :　いいか?!　こいつは変態だぞっ
You hear me? He is a pervert!

Ayame :　胸もんだりパンツかぶったり
He goes around wearing panties and groping tits

Ibuki :　だから－それは事故かもしれないじゃない!
Like I explained earlier, that was probably just an accident!

Chihaya : いーんじゃないっスか
Isn’t it good?

Chihaya : おもしろそうだし…
Moreover, it sounds interesting

Kagome : ちはやおねーちゃん…聞こえてないと思う…
Chihaya, I don’t think Ibuki or Ayame can hear you

Ayame : とにかくあたしは…
In any case, I …

Yoichi :　うまい!
Delicious!

Yoichi :　こんな大人数に囲まれて食事するのは初めてでござる!
It’s the first time I had dinner surrounded by so many people!

Yoichi :　団らんとはいいものでござるな!
Gathering together and having fun is such a good thing!


Page 62

Ayame :　…ふ…
Hmm

Ayame :　ふんっ　勝手にしろ!
Hmph! Do as you please!

Ayame :　どーなったって知らないからね!
If anything happens, it’s not my problem

Yoichi :　あやめ殿…
Ayame-dono…

Ibuki :　とりあえず
Anyway

Ibuki :　歓迎ってことで…
A greeting is a must.

Nice to meet you…

Yoichi :　…うむ!　こちらこそでござる!
…Yeah! Let’s get along with each other!

Page 64

Chihaya : ? 与一っつぁん　その紙キレ何っスか?
Yoichi, what’s that piece of paper?

Yoichi :　あっ　これは…　拙者　俳句をたしなんでおって
Oh, this? As I like Haiku…
( Haiku = A form of Japanese Poetry)

Yoichi :　いぶき殿と初めて会った時の感動を記したものでござる!
I noted down the feelings I felt when I first met Ibuki-dono!

Ibuki :　えっ
Oｈ

Yoichi’s Haiku :
おっぱいの
大きな
おなごと
会話した

与一

I talked to
A big-
titted
woman

Yoichi


Yoichi :　どうでござるか
How is it?

Chihaya :　こりゃどーしょーもねーっスね…
He is really hopeless

Ayame : ケッ　やっぱ変態じゃねーか!
Beh … He’s a pervert after all!

Ibuki :　本当に最低っ
You are really the worst!

Ibuki :　しばらくそこで埋まってなさい!
Stay buried there for the night!

Yoichi :　な　なぜでござる?　なぜダメだったんでござる!?
W-Why? In what way the Haiku was not acceptable?
