Sanjin Sadou 1

Phew, this was harder than the shonen manga I'm used to... Anyways, glad to have finally gotten started. I hope the quality's good enough ^^; I'm not really sure how much explanation I should give for the Japanese monsters and spirits...

Sanjin Sadou Chapter 01

Page 005:

Chapter 1: Silver hair, black eyebrows

Page 006:

Black-haired Girl [Suzuko]: Ah!

Suzuko: My usual one isn’t there…

Suzuko: *sigh* // I guess I’ll have to put up with this one…

Page 007:

Suzuko: Silver hair… and black eyebrows… // He’s got his head in the clouds…

Bird: Chi / Chi

Suzuko: Uhyaa / It’s like a fairytale.

Page 008:

Silver-haired man [Fubuki]: Yep / Yeah // That way? Got it. / Thanks for your hard work.

Panel: Doki doki / Fairtale <3 / (A little bird on his shoulder) Flower / Last hope [in centre of panel ] / Landmines / Danger!! [kanji = electricity wave] / (Talking with a little bird)

Text: Danger!! [Again, kanji = electricity wave]
Box: See you later! [kanji = abyss]

Page 009:

Suzuko: …………..!?

Suzuko: Wha…
Text: An illusion…?

Suzuko: I’m home.

Suzuko: I saw this really weird person today. // He had silver hair and black eyebrows…

Voices: Ah, Sadoukokugetsushinkun… / Well then, you…

Page 010:

Father[presumably]: Welcome home, Suzuko.
Mother[presumably]: You’re early.
Sadou: Hoho // A weird person with silver hair and black eyebrows…

Fubuki: Would that be me?

Father: You’ve heard grandma’s tales about a hermit, haven’t you?

Father: Her stories about sealing ghosts with jutsus. [Jutsu = technique, art]

Page 011:

Suzuko: Yeah.

Mother: Well, // It seems the stories weren’t made up.

Suzuko: Huh?
Mother: This person is the sennin, Fubuki-san. [Sennin = hermit, mystic, sage]

Fubuki: Yeah. / I thought there might be something nearby, and that it would be good for me to be here / to see the situation. // …But

Fubuki: Maybe I was a bit late.

Fubuki: A jutsu-user has passed away, their sealing-jutsu hasn’t been renewed, and a blood-relative hasn’t been initiated. // The harm running loose won’t end with only a fracture or a cold.

Mother: Can… / Can something be done about it?

Suzuko: Hold it!

Page 012:

Suzuko: You’re just stirring up and taking advantage of peoples’ worries in order to make some outrageous demand, aren’t you!?
Father: Suzuko

Fubuki: Well, it will cost money. // But not that much.

Suzuko: Taking money from people in trouble is the absolute worst!

Father: Suzuko, cut it out.
Fubuki: I can’t eat mist to live, you know. // This is business, young lady.
Suzuko: What the hell!

Suzuko: Eat mist to live! // You’re a sennin aren’t you?

Suzuko: You // Silver-hair-white-eyebrows!!

Fubuki: Well… As long as it’s free.
Father: He said it.
Suzuko: Okay!
Text under the table: How weak.

Page 013:

Mother: This is it. / According to my mother-in-law’s stories, she sealed an obake [a ghost] into this ornament.

Fubuki: It’s making a good face.
Mother: Huh?

Fubuki: Ah, never mind. / Anyway, I’ll get started.

Fubuki: [Not Japanese, just scribble ie. He’s doing his incantation in a language other than modern Japanese]

Suzuko: What a phony…

Fubuki: Come forth! / Reveal yourself // I compel you!

Page 014:

Fubuki: Ow

Page 015:

Suzuko: One point to the ghost…

Fubuki: Other monsters, like seirei [spirits] and youkai [general spirit/demon/ghost] are generally fine as “neighbours”.

Fubuki: But even among “neighbours” there are those who may be unkind or harmful.

Fubuki: That guy is one of that kind.
Suzuko: Hmm… // So, what are you going to do about it?

Fubuki: ……..

Fubuki: The moment I confronted it, my body went numb and I couldn’t move. Does he overreact to strangers’ reiki? [Reiki = spirit energy] // In that case, a person from this family should be able to do it…

Father: ! // One of us… / “Do it”?

Fubuki: Yeah. // With Reiki.

Father: What! [small text]That’s dangerous.[/small text] // There must be some other way…

Page 016:

Fubuki: Um, let me see…
Suzuko: ….
Father: We’ll pay you… // So…

Fubuki: “You’ll pay me”? // “So”?

Suzuko: I will do it!

Fubuki: Oh?
Father: Suzuko! / It’s too dangerous…

Suzuko: Dad, this is our family’s problem. // This is something grandma left here.

Suzuko: Furthermore, no matter how I look at him, this weak-looking person is USELESS! // It’s impossible for you two in your conditions.

Father: But Suzu…
Suzuko: BASICALLY,

Page 017:

Suzuko: I’m just doing the actions. You’re injured.

Fubuki: Listen. Keep your eyes on that arm, because it will attack with a big swing. Since you’re from this house you won’t go numb and you should be able to dodge it.
Suzuko: Yes.

Fubuki: You will probably be okay if you just bend a little. // Confuse it, and thrust straight at it. // Take it down with everything you have!

Page 018:

Suzuko: Uwaaaah!

Page 019:

[Nothing]

Page 020:

Parents: Suzuko!

Fubuki: Ha

Suzuko: That… // was scary…
Fubuki: You did well.

Page 021:

Suzuko: …….

Suzuko: Do you really know my grandma?
Fubuki: Yep. // She’s my master.

Fubuki: I’m currently training to succeed her. // How old is she anyway?

Suzuko: If she’s a hermit then she might use a rejuvenation jutsu. [Small text:] What an unpleasant laugh. [/small text]
Fubuki: Hyahyahya

Fubuki: I’m on a cold-hearted round—trip. I’m seeing the places that master talked about.

Suzuko: Cold-hearted?
Fubuki: Uh… Something like a training journey.
Suzuko: Hmm… Are you going back to your journey already?

Fubuki: When I return home, I’ll find a place to put this. See you later.

Page 022:

Suzuko: Is that thing really alright as payment..?
Fubuki: Sure. // I like stuff like this. // [Small text: Also, I did practically nothing[/small text]

Fubuki: Thanks for showing me the way. My shikigami[the bird/paper thing – like a familiar] can guide me to my next destination.
Suzuko: Is that that bird?
Fubuki: Ah, / you saw it.

Suzuko: Ah, / If we’re ever troubled by a monster again, can we call you? // What’s your name..?

Fubuki: Sadoukokugetsushinkun // Fubuki.

Suzuko: …What a weird guy.
