-It is said that in times long past, this land was home to a flourishing empire
-From its invasions into foreign nations and the abundant wealth its capital was blessed with, it came to be called the "Golden Palace"

-However, after the passage of many wars and earthquakes, the city eventually declined
-Some say it was "swallowed by the desert"

-Who knows how many hundreds of years have passed since then...

03-04
-The ancient city "Gilgamesh" (t/n - it's not really gilgamesh. kana: gilu-gamesu (two words), but if i try to spell it in roman letters it lookes like gil games which sounds really wrong.)

-The dragon zombie Girkuza is most surely...

-THE GHOST OF THE DEAD KING!!!

-W-what are you doing?

-It's the ghosts of all the monsters we've hunted!!
-NOOOOOOO

-There's no such thing, you jerk!!
-Irie-san, I was just telling a make-believe story
-Shut up!! I-I knew that!!

07
-Listen, we're here to hunt the Girkuza
-and find any "Star Fragments"
-or, clues to the Miogaruna's whereabouts!!
-If we've got the time, then nab some treasure too

-Well we'd better find the entrance to the Maze first
-I gotta find those two bastards!!
-They stole our info and slipped on ahead of us!!
-Damnit!!
-Then they're probably already inside, right?

-I don't think that's what it means at all...
-Look, you ain't the brightest so stop trying to act cool

-All ya'll got a few screws loose, eh?
-Don't group us with him!!
-Just leave the Girkuza to us!!

14
-What an eerie place...
-Maybe we'll really get to see a ghost!
-THERE AREN'T ANY! THEY DON'T EXIST!!

-What's that sound?
-A ghost!!
-NOT ANOTHER WORD FROM YOU!!

-H-huh--!?

15
-A BOULDER!?

-Don't tell me this place is trapped?!
-It's been hundreds of years, and they still work!?

-Hm, but the ancients were said to have highly advanced technology...
-Uhhh....

16
-RUN FOR IT!!
-KYAA
-EEEEK

-Let's aim for that tiny opening!!
-It's too narrow!! We can't fit in that!!

17
-phew
-owowow

-W-what the heck!?
-W-we're gonna fall!!

-KYAAAA
-Irie-san!!

20
-O-ouch!

-Shiki-kun!!
-chuuuu (sucking sfx)

-Stay still!! I'll suck the poison out!!
-POISON!?
small bubble - chuu

21
-Don't die on me, Sakuya!!
-Pthoo

-I-i'm fine...this is nothing

-It's an Emoyagaru's poison. It's slow acting but left alone it will kill
-chuuuuuuu
-Ngh....

-Shiki-kun

-Can you move your fingers?
-yes...
-Then, you should be fine for now

22
-If you start feeling numb let me know, and I'll suck more out
-E-eeh?! I'm sure I'll be fine!!

-Where's Irie-san?
-Looks like she fell somewhere else

-We have to find her!
-You stay here

-No!! It's even more dangerous if we're separated!!

23
-This sucks

-I just had to fall into a stupid pool!!
-Achoo!!
-Where's Sakuya and Shiki anyway!? What are those bozos doing??

24
-T-that doesn't scare me! It's just a bug or something!!

-I-it was a bug...right?

-There's nothing to be scared of
-There's no such thing as ghosts!

-I'M NOT SCARED AT ALL!!

25
-KYAAAA

-Gah...
-cough x2
-What an elaborate trap...

-Huh?

26
-Irie?

-Kowloon???

27
-W-W-What are YOU doing here!?
-That's MY line!! Aren't you with Shiki Ryuuhou!?

-I get it...he's hiding!! That crafty bastard!
-Where are you!?

-Right here!?
-STOP IT YOU PERVERT!!

-S-so you were separated...?
-Gacha
-Now you tell me what you're doing here
-Only Forbidden Hunters are allowed to enter

28
-No problem, since now I'm a Forbidden Hunter too!

-Huh?

-Listening to various rumors from different people,
-I happened to learn this place might have information on the Miogaruna

-You...believe the Miogaruna exists?
-I don't recall saying that I don't believe in it one bite
-one BIT
(t/n - at long last, k. finally is back to his wordplay. he said "hitokuchi", one bite, as opposed to "hitokoto", one word)

-You no longer need to accompany that boy
-Since we're both Forbidden Hunters, the obvious choice would be to come with me, the stronger one

29
-Irie
-I am your one-and-only Forbidden Hunter

-Kowloon...

-Let's search for the Miogaruna together!

30
-Footsteps?? Is it a monster?
-But...it's coming from above

-Above!?
-Could it be the Girkuza!?

-W-what are you doing!?

-Completing my quest!!
-Are you stupid!? You can't just fire that blindly...!!

31 Nerai utsu ze!!

32
-There's no way you can hit it if you can't see it!

-You're right. I wasn't intending to hit it
-Rather, I'm inviting it

-He did it to give away where we are?!

-COME!!
-I'M HERE, GIRKUZA!!

33-34 meow

35
-It's clinging to the walls...?!
-Wait, it's a skeleton...?!
-No...it's just that it's flesh is so thin, the Girkuza's bones readily show

-Are you sure we can beat it alone!?
-zasha

-yes, we can

36
bold: He did everything to recover his pride!! Kowloon shows off!!
bubble - And I'll prove to you that I'm superior to Shiki Ryuuhou in the process!!
