Side: Henry Smith, the traveler from England. He was on his way to Ankara, but---
P1.Box1: People say, you don't know what the future holds.
P2.Box1: And I'm sure that's right.
P3.Box1: Because you would never think
P3.Box2: you would get your things and horse stolen
P5.Box1: at a stop at a town, and then suddenly get them back again.
Page02:
P1.Box1: Then stay at the house of the people you met in that crisis
P4.Box1: And even
P4.Box2: end up in getting engaged to that person.
Page03:
P4.Box1: And right now,
P5.Box1: all of this is
P5.Box2: crumbling.

P3.B1: Tarasu.
P4.B1: Ah, Tarasu, // you had me worried.
P5.B1: You disappeared without a word.
P6.B1: Mother.
P7.B1: ....Hello.
Page07:
P1.B1: ....Smith-san.
P1.B2: You're all right...
P2.B1: Please forgive me, // for hiding your horse.
P2.B2: I wanted you to stay at Tarasu's side.
P3:B1: I'm really sorry.
P4.B1: Ah, no. That's in the past.
P4.B2: I got my horse back all right after all.
P5.B1: So, Mother, // we...
P5.B2: But it's all fine now.
P5.B3: Because I married him.
P7.B1: Right!?
Page08:
P2.B1: Uncle....
P3:B1: I'm a kind person.
P3.B2: No use staying in the past.
P3.B3: Forgive me for what I have said before.
P4.B1: Watching all the sheep must have been hard.
P4.B2: I'll take over that now.
P5.B1: Don't mention it. // You were my sister-in-law,
P5.B2: marrying you isn't all that strange of thing. [it isnt? oh well..]
Page09:
P1.B1: And about Tarasu...
P1.B2: Ah, yeah, yeah.
P2.B1: I promised after all.
P2:B2: As your father, I'll find you a fitting partner.
P3.B1: I'll also prepare a dowry, // and give a banquet that won't embarrass you.
P3.B2: That should do, right.
P4.B1: With that you have no complains, right!?
P5.B1: Hey, Tarasu,
P6.B1: I'm sure he'll find someone you'll like. // You'll get married off.
P7.B1: So be at ease.
Page10:
P2.B1: ....
P2.B2: What's wrong?
P4.B1: Eh?
P5.B1: Mother, // Smith-san and I...
P6.B1: Yeah, // I came back here to inform you about it...
P7.B1: ---...
P8.B1: Eh? // But...
P8.B2: Then...
Page11:
P1.B1: Hey
P1.B2: What are you whispering about.
P2.B1: Come over here.
P2.B2: Don't get all clingy with him!
P3.B1: ---...
P4.B1: Eh?
P4.B2: EH?
P4.B3: Wait a min---...
Page12:
P1.B1: Get in
P1.B2: and stay there.
P3.B1: She's my daughter now.
P3.B2: Get away from her.
P4.B1: C'mon, leave.
P4.B2: Besides, if not for you, this all wouldn't have happened. // You eyesore!! [meh couldnt find a better english word than eyesore. I know it sounds wrong, change it please]
P7.B1: Please wait a moment.
P7.B2: I don't know what's going on,
P7.B3: but please calm down first...
P8.B1: Hmph. // I got nothing to discuss with you.
P9.B1: If you don't leave here...
Page13:
P2.B1: !!
P3.B1: Get any closer
P3.B2: and I'll use this.
P4.B1: !? // What's with you?
P4.B2: Sto--
P6.B1: Ah! // Tarasu-sa---
P8.B1: ....
Page14:
P4.B1: Smith-san!
P5.B1: I heard from Tarasu what happened.
P5.B2: I'm sorry.
P6.B1: I'm truly sorry.
P7.B1: Ehm,
P7.B2: Just what is going on....
Page15:
P3.B1: I'm returning this.
P3.B2: Thank you very much for all that you have done for her until now.
P4.B1: She told me all about it.
P4.B2: But please forget about her.
P5.B1: Just forget her,
P5.B2: please.
Page16: [a broken man T_T]
P3.Box1: Just what the heck
P3.Box2: is going on?
P4.Box1: What exactly
P4.Box2: changed?
Page17:
P3.B1: Huh?
P3.B2: Smith-san?
P4.B1: He's already back!?
P4.B2: That was fast.
P4.B3: Eh? // For real!?
P5.B1: .... // What's the matter?
Page18:
P2.B1: ...
P3.B1: Can't be helped.
P3.B2: It was unfavorable.
P4.B1: No,
P4.B2: but...
P5.B1: Suddenly telling me to forget her, // that's a bit too much...
P5.B2: But he's her father,
P5.B3: right? [he kinda repeats the previous line, and it sounds totally awkward in english, so just right^^]
P6.B1: ?
P6.B2: ?
P6.B3: You can't do anything against the father.
P8.B1: Ehm.
P8.B2: That----
P8.B3: basically...
Page19:
P1.B1: Her mother married him, right?
P1.B2: Yes.
P2.B1: But he sure is a cruel man.
P2:B2: As just a relative he would have no saying.
P3:B1: But because he married her mother and is now her father,
P3.B2: he gets to decided the partner for his daughter. // Umm....
P3.B3: His role.
P3.B4: Yes, it's his role.
P4.B1: So she can't really decided on a partner herself....
P4.B2: Yeah.
P5.B1: It would be all fine, if he liked you,
P5.B2: but that's not the case, right?
P7.B1: But
P7.B2: she herself agreed on it before,
P7.B3: so I can't really accept that he makes it all void just because he suddenly become her father.
Page20:
P1.B1: Don't be so cruel.
P1.B2: It's her father. // She can't go against him.
P1:B3: Yeah. // She can't do that.
P1.T1: Specially not as a woman.
P2.B1: I..... // see.
P4.B1: ....
P5.B1: So basically, // you're dumped....
P5.B2: Pariya-san.
P6.B1: Sorry.
P6.B2: No.
P7.B1: Well,
P7.B2: nothing to do about.
Page21:
P1.B1: Drop by on your way back again please.
P2.B1: Don't forget it.
P2.B2: It's a promise.
P3.B1: Sure.
P3.B2: A promise.
P7.B1: Okay,
P7.B2: onto Ankara.
P8.B1: ....Yes.
Page22+23:
P5.B1: ....
Page24:
P1.B1: All fine?
P2.B1: She'll be fine.
P2:B2: She's a strong woman.
P3.B1: No,
P3:B2: I meant you.
P5.B1: Well, // I manage.
P5.B2: I think.
P8.B1: .....Urg.
Page25:
P1.B1: Hey, what's wrong?
P1.B2: No, the swaying is worse than I thought....
P1.T1: I feel a bit sick...
P2.B1: What? You're ill!?
P2.B2: No, not that...
P3.T1: I just feel sick. // Huh? Is it critical? Hey, hang in there!
Page26:
P1.B1: ---..
P2.B1: I'm fine now.
P2:B2: The rest helped.
P3.B1: Just sit down.
P3.B2: The sun is going down already, // we're camping here today.
P4.B1: .....Okay.
Page27:
P1.B1: Ehm, your name was....
P1.B2: Ali.
P1.B3: Yeah, Ali-san.
P2.B1: Are you a friend of Hawkins?
P2.B2: No. // It's just a job. // Guiding a single british man.
P3.B1: Nobody else wanted to do it.
P3.B2: The jobs sucks, // and no one wants trouble.
P5.B1: Then why did you do it?
P6.B1: ....
P7.B1: Money, I guess.
P7.B2: The pay is good.
P8.B1: Haa.
P8.B2: Money I see.
Page28:
P1.B1: You need it for something?
P1.B2: I'm thinking of getting married.
P3.B1: Bride price.
P3.B2: That's what I need the money for.
P4.B1: My family is poor.
P4.B2: And I'm the second oldest son.
Page29:
P1.B1: We saved up with the whole family, // and kinda got enough to marry of my elder brother.
P2.B1: So I have to earn my own now.
P3.B1: Ehm, does...
P3.B2: it really take that long?
P4.B1: You're all set when you have sheeps or horses.
P4.B2: But my family has nothing.
P5.B1: I guarded a caravan for years,
P5.B2: but here wasn't anything to guard and the pay was bad.
P6.B1: I had to provide my own food and water, // at that rate, I would have never finished.
P7.B1: ....
Page30:
P1.B1: Have you set on someone already?
P1.B2: No.
P2.B1: How could I, with no money.
P2:B2: ....Got a point there.
P3.B1: Well, I'm hard working, // not picky,
P3.B2: I'm sure there's someone, once I start searching.
P5.B1: So, don't worry.
P5.B2: I'll get you safely to Ankara.
P6.B1: Okay?
P7.B1: ....Thanks.
Page31:
P2.B1: ....Speaking of,
P3.B1: how are you planning to get there?
P4.B1: How?
P4.B2: Like the route... // and duration...
P5.B1: Mhm......
P6.B1: There are 3 routes.
Page32:
P1.B1: First one is to go straight from the Aral Sea to the Caspian Sea.
P2.B1: Then over the Caspian Sea, // through Trabzon, past the black sea to Ankara.
P2.B2: It's the fastest way, but the Russians are guarding the coast a lot. // I got no clue how we would avoid high shipping costs or the confiscating of our luggage.
P2.Map: [sorry not TL that all.... just the oceans, from right to left:] Aral Sea // Caspian Sea // Black Sea
P3.B1: The second way is to go past the Caspian sea into Persia.
P3.B2: It's longer, but we won't at least meet any trouble.
P3.B3: It costs a bit, but if we stick with a caravan, // we won't have any worries about getting robbed on the way.
Page33:
P1.B1: ....
P3.B1: And the third?
P4.B1: I can't recommend the third.
P4.B2: It's a path we locals use.
P5.B1: It's the shortest way, I got a lot of friends on the way, // and there aren't any Russians.
P5.B2: Isn't that perfect!?
P6.B1: No, 80% is mountain path. // I can manage,
P6.B2: but if you fall off the cliffs, you're done for. // Not that I would fall.
P6.B3: And someone, who's not used to mountains, will get tired easily.
P7.B1: ....Guess that option is out then.
P7.B2: Yeah.
Page34:
P1.B1: What you chose?
P1.B2: Mhm....
P2.B1: .....
P2.B2: I think the safer way is better, even if it takes longer.
P3.B1: Okay, then it's through Persia.
P3.B2: It's settled.
P4.B1: Tomorrow we're getting over the Aral Sea,
P4.B2: go and get some rest.
P5.B1: Already asleep.....

P7.Box1: I don't know where it landed.
P7.Box2: Since it didn't make any sound.

P5.Box1: I'm sure someone will pick it up.
