Monster Hunter Orage 2

Well, here it is, although no one will read it by now (lol)
I am though a person of my word, and in principle had to translate it regardless. Will (hopefully) finish the chapter by tomorrow. Omake after that.

EDIT: FINISHED!~ Confirmed item and monster names. Should be completely harmonized with english MH terms. Enjoy!

green up top - CHAPTER 2 - "Encounters shape the world"

YELLOW: We'll show you the power of "teamwork!" / Let's hunt down our dreams!
left is another thing about "presenting the widely talked about miracle collab -- here's ch 2"!
box is just ad for all his other series

03
-THAT is a trap I laid to help us catch food!
-bibi
-A TRAP!?

-Look what you did! Now it's broke!

-You could've at least told me that you laid it there
-Aren't we a team?

bold left: Make sure to start reading from the color pages!

-How many times are you going to make me say it? We are NOT a team!
-Besides, I don't need anyone's help
-I'm only following you because we're after the same thing
-got it?
-You really get hung up over the strangest things! Just like master!

04
-I can't trust you yet
-HEY HEY HEY!! I'M YOUR DAD'S PUPIL!!!

-That's EXACTLY why
-Dad was always more concerned about looking after his precious "pupil" than me!
-Aw, you're still jealous after all these years? That's so cute!
-I AM NOT!

-On a different topic, those wind-element dual swords of yours...
-Exactly what are they made of?
sign upper left: Irie
lower right: Current weapon / Iron sword "Kagura"

05
-It seems to be made from some monster scales that Master found
sign: Shiki Ryuuhou
sign: Current weapon / Wind-element Twin Blades, "Oroshi"
bubble: If I had to guess which, I think they're from the Miogaruna itself!

-That doesn't make any sense
-Even if he was able to get his hands on that legendary dragon's scales,
-Why make dual swords out of them?

-My father was pro at using great swords
-Really? I saw him use all sorts of weapons...
-Well, obviously he used dual swords, to teach you how to use them...
-I can't imagine why he'd waste such rare materials on you

06
-It just means he loved me more!
-That insensitive side of yours is REALLY starting to piss me off!!

-Ahahaha! Just kidding!
-It's true that he did have high hopes for you as a hunter...

-Every time your name came up, he'd always start blushing

-I could tell that he loved you very much
-I was always envious of you, since I never had any parents...

07
-Shiki...

-hm?

-Behind you
-GUHOWAA

-ahahaha! You're pitiful!

-Looks like we're having Bullfango stew tonight!
-gashyaa

08
-By the way, do you have any idea where the Miogaruna actually is?
-Hmm?

-Why even ask?
-If everyone knew where it was, it wouldn't be a legend!

-Haa?!

-It's part of a "Forbidden Hunter's" duty to track it down!
-Then where the heck have we been going!?

right: SUMMARY
Shiki is a Forbidden Hunter who wields wind-element dual swords. Having lost his master Gurelli to an accident in combining gunpowder, Shiki journeys forth, carrying on the ways of his Master. Joining forces with Irie near Akamaaya town, the two successfully take down a Rathian. Later, it comes to light that Irie is actually Gurelli's very own daughter, and the two set off on a journey to hunt down the Miogaruna. Meanwhile, Prince, the leader of the guild's strongest party (the "Hell Hounds"), bears a grudge against Shiki...

Footnote thing - "Monster Hunter Orage" contains a few small differences from the actual game.

09
-According to Master's memos,
-puhi!
sign: Traveling Piggy / A cute little guy who can accompany you on your journey / Name: Erika (female)
-There should be an awesome armorer around here!

-A smithy?

-You have to admit, neither of us have adequate equipment to challenge the Miogaruna

-Although you're absolutely right...
-We don't have any information or clues as to this person's whereabouts...

-"Legends are woven from one person to the next
-Travel the globe and meet all sorts of people--

-Because those encounters will turn myths into reality!!"
-Those were the master's words!!

10
-So you mean to say,
-"If you travel around, you're bound to find something eventually"
-Right?
-Oooh!! You are indeed the master's daughter!! So that's what it meant, I see!!
-This is going to be a LONG journey...

-hm?

-HMMM??

-That's the sound of Monster bones clashing with iron...
-There must be a workshop nearby!

-Eh?
-I don't hear anything...

-Even though you've got four ears??
-THEY'RE NOT EARS!!!

11
-Could that be the smithy you're searching for?
-I can't believe anyone would be living in this swamp, though...
-Shh!
-This way!

-Master called this person an amazing armorer--
-I bet he's like a kinda sennin* or something!!
*(sennin is like an sage who is so powerful they've attained immortality and can summon familiars, usually living someplace remote. you've probably heard of this from naruto, although the original toad senin was a chinese legend)

-A...s-sennin...??
-Yeah...right...

-...but he sounds kinda cute!
-You have strange tastes...

-This is it!

12
-KIN KON KAN

-Ooh!
-Bleh

-What the heck are these weapons? They're all spent...

13
-Really?? I thought they were full of soul!!
-These aren't the kinds a weapons a sennin would make!

-Excuse me...

-Who might you two be?
sign: Sakuya

-A girl?!
-And injured, too...

-We apologize for coming uninvited, we were just searching for a certain smithy in the area...

14
-oh?

-but it looks like we came to the wrong place...if you'll excuse us~
-Wrong place? You mean you know this person looks like??
-How could I?!

-It's common sense! There's no way this kid could be that famous!

-But you don't know that for a fact!
-Oh, please! Look at the weapons here!! They're all chewed up! (whisper whisper)

-Besides, dad's memos were from over 8 years ago! Just how old do you think this girl could possibly have been back then??

-Um...
-Could the craftsman you two are looking for be my father?

15
-FATHER?!
-SEE! WHAT'D I TELL YA??

-Even if that's so...I sure don't have high hopes after seeing these weapons...

-My father was a well-known arms craftsman
-But, he left several years ago and hasn't come back since...

-See? What'd I tell ya?

-He was a master smith from what I heard...but I have little respect for him as a father
-He left me and my mother all alone

-He's probably at a smithery in a big city somewhere...because that was always his dream...

16
-Judging by your weapons and armor
-you two are hunters, right?

-Huh?
-Well...we're traveling together...only to hunt down a rare monster, though

-Uwaaaaaah!!
-THIS...
-w-w-hat??

-This armor...could it be??

17
-It's made from a Delmaios?? (t/n - searched high and low, but delmaios seems to be another creation of this comic. if it is truly from the game, please tell me the official spelling. it certainly isn't in MHP2ndG)

-Please, take of your clothes!!
-STRIP?? NO WAY!!

-S-sorry...! I just...armor...I really want to take a better look at it! Please!!
-Eeeh...
-Why not? You're both ladies!
-HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOURSELF!?

-mmhm

-mmhm
-mmhmm!

18
-What's the big deal, anyway?

-At first glance, it doesn't seem very durable, but it's actually quite sturdy
-I think this is made of Delmaios pelt, Malachite ore...and hm, firestone?
-Hello? Didn't you hear my question??

-Delmaios??

-STOP THAT!!

-It's kinda like a Kut-ku. Many newbie hunters use it to hone their skills, even though it's not easy to take down solo
-Gacha
-A-amazing! This was the first time I got to see Delmaios armor up close!

19
-Please, it's not all that great
-Even regular hunters from the city are enough to handle it

-I...I haven't been able to defeat one
-A-ah...i'm sorry...
-No need to apologize, it's my fault because I'm too weak

-After my father left, one of them started lurking around here...

-Because of my weak body, and because mom didn't know how to fight back, we continued to live in fear

-Until finally one day my mother lost her life to that Delmaios

20
-I'm so sorry to hear that

-Even so, I swore to defeat it
-In order to protect this house which belonged to mother
-And admittedly, for her revenge too...

-That's why I've been trying to create a weapon to defeat that monster
-I've been experimenting in father's workshop here for some time

-But no matter how many times I've tried to take on the quest, I've failed
-Just this past time I barely escaped with my life...

-So that's why you're all beat up
-You've had it rough

21
-But...

-that doesn't mean I've given up yet!!!

-OH!!
-That's a pretty nice weapon you've made there!!

22
-YOSH!! I'VE DECIDED!
-I'LL LEND YOU A HAND!!

-eh?

-Me too. I've defeated more than one of them, anyway
-How could I let someone injured go off to hunt on their own?

23
-In exchange...please tell us where your father is after we defeat it!
-Huh?

-b-but...
-I don't know where he is...

-No problem! We'll take even a roundabout guess...so c'mon, let's head to the guild!
-Come on out, Mamoth!! (t/n - a pun. deru-mamoth, which sounds like delumaios...deru means to come out or show yourself)
-It's Delmaios!!

-Okay
-Thank you very much!

24

25
-gachan

-phew

-Prince!! That's not a good idea!!
-Hunting without permission from the guild...

-You could throw off the natural balance!!

26
-Oh? Then what about those "special" Forbidden Hunters, who just waltz into whatever hunting grounds they please??
-I too should have the right to hunt wherever I want!

-Yeah but, they still inform the guild...

-Plus everyone still has a responsibility to report the monsters they've defeated
-Please, there's nothing preventing someone from making up a story...

-Hunters don't speak lies!
-A person may lie about their accomplishments, but a Hunter never lies about a hunt!
-Nmm.

-If everyone just hunted as they pleased,
-Entire species could go extinct...
-...and that would destroy the entire food chain!!
-No Forbidden Hunter would allow such a thing!!

-Hou...you really like taking that guy's stride, don't you, Maru?
-Prince...you mean "side"...
(t/n - kata wo motsu = to take someone's side, lit take one's shoulder. here prince substitutes "ude", or arm)

27
-But c'mon, Prince! Forbidden Hunters are cool!
-They travel to the ends of the earth to hunt legendary monsters!
-Mmm Mmm!
-It's every hunter's dream!!

-Rubbish
-Huh?

-If I had that seal...
-I'd use it for a far greater purpose

-Nature's cycle? Hah! Who cares if some undiscovered monster vanishes from the face of this planet?
-One millennium from now, humans will be the only ones to stand on this planet!

28
-Prince....

-I've decided...
-...to become a Forbidden Hunter!!

-EH!?
-All I need is approval from the guild's headquarters, the "Hall of Elders"

-Surely I am more than worthy to carry the seal
-...by merit of my strength as a Hunter!

29
-Prince...
-Don't follow me

-This is my battle!

-I'll climb...

-all the way to the top!

-You just wait, Shiki Ryuuhou!!

30 BADASS PAGE OF THE MONTH
-I'll be the first to slay the Miogaruna!*
(t/n - hm. Simple line but i've really wrestled with a lot of possible meanings. tsumugu is the verb, trans literally "to spin", or "yarn" (that's a verb, not noun form). Now, "i'll be the first to weave the miogaruna legend" is a lit trans of this line however context leads me to believe otherwise. For example, quite possibly the author intends him to say he'll complete the legend...but I want to take this further. As in, I'll *make* it a legend...and, in conjunction with his previous lines about not minding if he destroys the entire ecosystem, i went for the most direct trans of slay. He just wants to kill everything. Yep, typical villain. --any other thoughts? am i mistaken?)

31
-Uwah...man, this place is creepy!

-Um, Sakuya? You don't actually hate your father, do you?

-At the time our home was attacked, I couldn't help but wonder how we would've been if dad had been there...
-but...what does that matter anymore? It can't change the past

-yeah...

-U-WOAH!!
-what?!

32 khezu

33
-W-what is this!??
-This monster looks...like, hardened

-kon kon

-crumble
no bubble: f-f-forgive me!!

-Stone!?
-You mean it's petrified?!

34
-Is this a Delmaios?!
-No, this monster is called Khezu (t/n - jap. "furufuru")
-c-cute name...?
-Hold up!! Why is the Khezu petrified!?

-Why? Because this is the Delmaios' ability...
-To be precise, it's not that it can petrify--it spits up an oily secretion that calcifies what it touches
-It acts kind of like a plaster cast, if that makes more sense

-A Delmaios can do that!?

35
-It's here!

-Everyone, split up! We need to distract its attention!

-Eh...?!

-n-no way...!

36
-THIS is a Delmaios!?
sign: Delmaios / difficulty 3 star (?)

37
-It's TOO GIGANTIC!!!

38
-This isn't like any Dalmaios I know of!!

-Eh?

-Dwaaah!!

-Shiki-san!

-Blam

39
-W-what're we going to do? Even the size of its plume is too large...!
-I hate to admit it, but I must have been hunting younger versions all this time!

-Watch out!!

40
-Rats! I did it again...
-ssss
-Eh!?
-pshhh x3
lower bubble: y-your blade!

-Acid!?
-What's with this thing!?

-Ugh!!

41
-I've never
-hunted one like this!

-That was the extremely caustic acid it uses to dissolve its solidified prey. This is the monster I've never been able to beat...

-no....!

-Shiki's out cold...
-Sakuya's weapon is useless...
-And not only can this thing solidify, but also melt anything!
-There's no way we can defeat it!!

-Let's run for now!
-I underestimated it! We need to regroup and come up with a plan!

-Go on ahead

42
-I've already decided that this will be my final hunt
-I have nowhere to run to

-W-what are you saying!?

-Please take Shiki and escape
-I'm sorry for getting you both involved

-You're going to fight?? But your weapon...!

-Yes

43
-There are no longer any materials left in this area to craft weapons with
-No monster parts, no ore...
-Neither do I have any money to buy a weapon from town with...

-That's why this will be my final weapon...
-My final hunt

44
-If I can't defeat this monster,
-This will be the final day of my life

45
-Please, run away from here!
-While I still have its attention!!

-...Even so, I swore to defeat it
-In order to protect this house which belonged to mother

-But no matter how many times I've tried to take on the quest, I've failed

-Those worn-out weapons weren't the result of poor craftsmanship...

-Kuh!

-They're proof...
bubble: tah

46
-...proof of the battle Sakuya has been waging for years...

47
-What the heck are these weapons? They're all spent...

-Knowing that I can't...

-Irie-san!! RUN AWAY NOW!!

-HOW COULD I!?

-I offered my help, and did nothing but get in your way? My pride won't let me to leave this unfinished!

-Well said, Irie!

48
-Just sit back and watch as we show you
-A hunter's true strength--formed by the bonds of our teamwork!

49
-Big words coming from someone who was knocked unconscious in one hit

-Shiki-san

-It's time to fight back!
-But how!? Close-range weapons are a bad idea against this thing!!

-I've got a plan
-But in order for it to work, we've got to be able to trust each other completely...

bold left: Sakuya's resolved to win! Next time: Their "teamwork" is put to the test!!
