Until Death Do Us Part 8

Chapter 8, and the end of the first volume of Until Death Do Us Part. We're only 26 chapters behind the latest which just came out in Young Gangan this week. As to whether or not we'll be able to catch up, I guess that relies mostly on me and my schedule. This Winter break, however, I'll see what I can do.

This translation is for Bakafish and Bakafish alone. Please DO NOT use this to scanlate.

Rofl, damn science. I'll probably need someone with a scientifically oriented mind to check some of my stuff after this. Freaking Takashige Hiroshi and his jargon.

最初にこの任務請け負ったのは
I took this job

ただのバックアップマンとして引き受けただけで
as a back up man, just a back up man.

必要な仕事をこなしていれば充分だと言われたからだ
I was told I'd just be taking care of some easy work.

警察でもネット犯罪対策の技術者を募集していたが　俺のなりじゃ雇ってもらえないし
The police were recruiting anti-crime engineers as well, but they wouldn't hire the likes of me.

Page 202
犯罪者と闘える　充足感を得られるなら部屋にこもって何もしていないよりマシだと思ってたんだ
I thought fighting crime and the feeling of being useful would be better than sitting in my room doing nothing.

しかし実際に動き出してみればパートナーは曲者だわ
But now that we're actually getting started, my partner's a brute.

いきなり訳ありの少女は転がり込んで来るわ・・・
And for some reason he brings this girl into things...

その上　国を跨いで犯罪を追っているチーム「THE　WALL」の隊長アルファの話では東京に国際的テログループが潜入した形跡があるとさ
And now the team that came over here chasing some criminals, The Wall, their leader Alpha is saying that some international terrorist group has infiltrated Tokyo.

俺と護のチームは都市型重犯罪専門だ
Mamoru and my team specialize in urban crimes.

そんな話は手に余る
What Alpha is talking about isn't within our powers.

こんな状態じゃ俺でさえ嫌な予感がする
Even I get a bad feeling about this.

Page 203
・・・遅いな・・・
... It's going slowly...

しかしエレメンツの「THE　WALL」ともあろう部隊(チーム)が
But you know, even if you are the Element's team The Wall,

あんな小娘に頼るようでは
I can tell from the fact that your only recourse is that girl,

よっぽど事態が手詰まりだと見える
that you guys have yourselves in a stalemate.

なんですって!?
What was that!?

やめろ　シエラ
Stop, Sierra.

俺は『ブレード』で仲間は表音(フォネティック)コードか
So I'm Blade, and your crew's all phonetic code?

ずいぶんと横着な呼び名の付け方をするもんだな
Nice naming scheme, so cunning.

Page 204
今は少しでも時間が惜しい
We don't have much time.

あの少女の能力が本当に使えるならば手段は選んでいられない
If we really can use that girl's powers then we don't have any choice.

承服しかねるな
I don't agree with the situation.

どれだけ有用だろうと素人の小娘を巻き込んでいい道理はない
"No matter how much it helps, I can't see any justification to involving an amatuer little girl like her."

言い分はわかるが事態は切迫している
I understand what you're saying, but the situation is urgent.

テログループの現在の目的は不明だが　近日中に活動に移るだろう事が予想される
The terrorist group's current target is presently unknown, however we anticipate them taking action in a few days.

被害者は100人単位で想定せねばならん　経済的打撃も相当額に上がるだろう
We have to assume the victims would be counted by the hundreds, and we haven't ruled out an economic attack either.

どうしても妨害するというのなら
If you absolutely must hinder us,

実力行使も辞さん
then we will use force if necessary.

・・・やっぱり始まったか・・・?
... Has it started already...?

先に言っては置くが
I'll tell you this now.

我々は簡易ながらブレード対策は済んでいる
We have a simple, but effective plan to counter you, Blade.

Page 206
・・・それは面白い・・・
... That sounds fun...

止めなさい!
Stop this instant!

Page 207
互いに益はないぞ
This benefits no one.

どうですか　愽士!?
Well, Professor?

そうだな　結論を先に言えば　能力はあった　条件さえ整えば　今行った簡単な確率実験では100%の的中率だったな
Yes, well, jumping straight to the conclusion, she does have the ability if the conditions are right. She scored 100% on the simple experiment I just performed.

だが　君らのチームでは利用できない
However, your team will not be able to use her.

どういう事ですか?
What do you mean?

彼女の意志に関わらず無関係な人間の動向までは予知できんという事じゃよ
I mean that she can't foresee the movements of people unrelated by her. (Without regard to her will, she can't foresee the movements of people unrelated to her.)

Page 208
わしの専門は超能力ではなく量子論だ
My studies involve quantum theory, not psychic abilities.

この場合量子論的見地から鑑みるに
Looking at this from a quantum perspective,

未来というのはあらゆる可能性を含んでいる状態を言う
What we call the future is really a condition comprised of all possibilities.

それを垣間見るとはどういう事なのかというと・・・
And catching a glimpse of that, well, it would take...

まず存在する　-　つまりあるという前提で考えてみる
First, existence, think of it as a set of conditions.

元々　人間の頭脳は量子状態であるという説をここでは取ってみよう　ならばそれはどうして起こりうるのか?
Let's use the theory that people's brains are in a quantum state by nature. So, why would something happen?

どういう前提で存在するのか?
Under what conditions could this possibility exist?

すでに充分理解しかねますな
You've already lost me.

理論は結構です
I don't need the theory.

Page 209
まあ・・・
Well...

シュレーディンガーやら不確定性原理やら理屈を言えばかなり面倒くさい話になってしまうな
I suppose this would be a considerably painful lecture if I went into Schroedinger and the uncertainty principle.

そうだのぉ　簡潔に言うなら
Let's see, to be brief,

彼女のは予知能力ではなく高度な予測能力と言った方が感覚として近いだろう
she isn't fully precognitive, but has a strong prediction ability, it would be more accurate to say.

だから条件が合わなければ的中率は極端に下がってしまう
So if the conditions aren't right then her ability gets exponentially more inaccurate.

つまり　彼女の与り知らん人間が彼女の与り知らん事をどこで起こそうが
In other words, if someone she doesn't know is going to do something,

その予測には引っ掛からんという具合だ
it won't be caught in her predictions.

・・・ふうむ・・・
... Hmmm...

理屈はどうでも利用できないのでは・・・
I don't care about the theory, but if we can't use her...

Page 210
だいたい量子論という代物自体が究極の机上の空論と言っていい
In any case, quantum theory itself is said to be an empty theory.

今や証明できない理論が大半で証明できる部分は氷山の一角だ
We can't prove a majority of our theories, and the ones we can are merely the at the tip of the iceberg.

・・・あまり驚いてないね・・・?
... Not so surprised...?

武道の世界じゃ動きの先読みぐらいはそれほど珍しくはない
In the world of martial arts it isn't exactly rare for someone to be able to see a little ahead.

俺も調子がいい時なら『先の先』の　更に先くらいなら読み取れる
On good days I'm even able to read "beyond the beyond", much farther in the future.

そう考えればそんな力に特化した能力があってもおかしくはなかろう
When you think about it like that, it's not exactly strange for a special ability like hers to surface.

・・・無駄足だったか・・・
... So this was useless afterall...

こうなったら被害を最小限で済ます方法を・・・
We're going to have to find a way to limit the damage caused...

早合点しなさんな
Don't jump to conclusions.

Page 211
彼女に関連する人間が積極的に事件に関わればその身を案じよう?
What if someone related to her were to take an active role in the affair at hand?

うまくいけば事件の断片くらいは見えてくるのではないか?
If things went well wouldn't she be able to see a fragment of what's going to happen?

・・・俺かよ・・・
... Who, me...?

まあ　糸口はつかんだつもりだ
Well, it's a lead anyway.

追っての研究はネットを通じて結果を報告するわい
I'll send a report of the follow up experiment's results through the net.

Page 212
シエラ　予定変更だ
Sierra, change of plans.

俺は愽士を送り届けてそのまま隊に戻る
I'll escort the professor home and then head back to the corps.

君には　彼の努力を得られるよう　しばらく『ブレード』のサポートを頼みたい
You will try to attain the fruits of his labor. I want you to stay here and give Blade support.

我々との連絡も密に・・・少女の「関わり」も重要だぞ
You will keep contact with the corps a secret... it is important that you become "related" to that girl.

了解・・・
Yes, sir...

不服か?
You disapprove?

構わないわ　どうせ戻ったって東洋人メンバー以外は待機ですもの
I don't mind. Even if I returned, everyone is on standby anyway except for the Asian members anyway.

だから単民族国家って嫌いなのよ
I hate these homogeneous nations.

君は特に目立つからな
You do stand out, you know.

Page 213
さ!
Alright!

上のむさい部屋を開けて必要な物を調達に行きましょうか
Shall we go up to that bland room upstairs and get the provisions we require?

どうせしばらくここに済まないといけないものね
It seems we're going to have to live here for a while.

・・・差し当たっては着替えが必要ね
... You'll need a change of clothes to face what may come.

あ
Ah.

・・・は・・・はい・・・
... Er... yeah...

そうですね・・・
Yeah I do...

Page 214
おい
Dude.

なんか勝手に話が進んでいくぜ、いいのか?
It seems things are running along without us, that okay?

相手もプロだ　信用するしかあるまい?
They're pros as well, all we can do is trust them, right?

我慢しろ
Just bear with it.

それに今さら無責任に放り出す事もできん
Also, we can't start neglecting our work, now of all times.

それより
Instead,

今夜の巡回から本格的に仕事だ　予定を組み直すぞ
We need to go at our jobs in earnest starting with tonight's patrol, reschedule our arrangements.

そうです!　連載第1話が掲載された雑誌を読んだ時のショックってば!　マンガとは呼べないようなアマチュア原稿が立派なマンガの間に挾まれている感じと言うか・・・
That's right! I was shocked when I read the first serialized chapter in the magazine! It felt like my amateurish manga was in the midst of all these other splendid comics...

うう・・・俺なんか死んだほうが・・・
Ugh... It'd be better for all of us if I died...

Page 222
しかも連載一回目で一人しかいないスタッフに逃げられ・・・
On top of all that my ONE staffmember ran off on me after the first chapter...

先生　私を許さないでください!
Master, don't forgive me!

慌ててネットや雑誌に求人を出しても応募者がなかなか来ない!
Confused, I put out help wanted ads in magazines and on the net, but I hardly got any applicants!

その上　初めてのパソコン作業はまさに苦難の連続!
And on top of that this was my first time using a computer to do this, and I had a constant stream of errors!

ビ!
*beep*

あ!
Ah!

ピピ
*bee-beep*

ピー
*beeeeep*

あぁ!スイマセン
Agh! I'm sorry!

パソコン様お許しを!もう1回・・・
Please forgive me, Mr. Computer! Please, just one more time...

パソコンに敬語を使う
I speak politely to my computer.

しかし　マネージャーのLさんや担当のFさんなどなど良い方々が一生懸命支えてくれるおかげで　少しずつではありますが　成長しています
But my Manager Mr. L and Mr. F, etc, etc, and all those other nice people really helped me out and supported me. And thanks to that, even if it was only little by little, I feel that I've grown.

ジャンジャンジャーン　ジャジャジャーン!　(編集部からの着メロ　ダースヴェイダーのテーマ)
Dun, dun, dun, dun-da-daa, dun-dadaa! (My ring tone for calls from the editorial department is the Darth Vader theme.)

今はスタッフも二人入り　背景や仕上げ処理などを手伝ってくれます
I now have two staff members, and they help me out with finishing touches and backgrounds.

僕のアシさん・・・
My lovely assisstants...

Shh! Don't look at him!

Page 223
しかし皆様!!徹夜で描いた作品だからこの本を買ってくださいとか!
However!! I won't ask you to buy this product because we worked on it all night!

愛してくださいとか!
I won't ask you to love it!

次こそ頑張りますから今回は・・・とか!
I won't tell you that I'll do better next time...!

そんな見苦しい真似はいたしません!
I would never do something so unsightly as that!

男らしく堂々と結果を待ちながら!2巻に向けて突っ走るつもりです!!
I plan to boldy wait for the results like a man and move straight into working on volume 2!!

ですから・・・
So please...

バンツ
*bam*

助けてください!!(私は可哀想なヤツなんですよ~)
Save me!! (I'm a poor, pathetic individual!)

先生・・・自尊心って言葉　ご存知?
Master... have you ever heard of a little thing called self respect?

そんな単語は俺の辞書には載っておらん!
That's not even in my dictionary!

これがマンガ家か・・・
So this is a manga artist...

Page 224
ともかく待望の1巻発売を記念して!
To commemorate the long awaited release of volume one!

万歳!!
Banzai!!

バン・・・ザイ・・・
Ban... zai...

それじゃ　最後に作業をしていて一番記憶に残っているシーンを話そう
Alright then, lastly let's talk about the most memorable scene of the manga.

あの場面はカッコ良かったとか
Like, that setting was cool looking.

う~ん?
Hmmm?

ここでは先生のセンスが抜群でした　とか
Or, master, your taste was impeccable here, or...

うーん・・・記憶にか・・・まあ・・・なんでしょうかね・・・
Hmm... most memorable... let's see... what could it be...

ムズかしいなあ・・・
This is hard...

むぅ・・・
Har-...

お・・・おい・・・
Du-... dude...

お前・・・このマンガ読んでないのか?
Do you... do you even read this manga?

なんてったって井川キュンがカワイイんですよ!護は唇がセクシーなの
It's totally the fact that Igawa's so cuuuute! And Mamoru's lips are sexy!

二人をカップルにしましょうよ、護が受けで!
Let's make them a couple, Mamoru'll be the girl of the two!

同人誌作ってる
She's making a doujin.

黙れェ!!
Silence!!

そんな事聞いてねえだろ!　記憶に残る場面を言えよ!
I didn't ask for that! Talk about a memorable scene, damn it!

カップル作ってどうすんだよ!
Who cares if you want to make them a couple!

想像しちゃったじゃねえかよ!!
That's something you made up, not a memory!!

だったら先生は何かあるんですか!?
Then you had one in mind, master!?

俺?当然あるよ
Me? Of course I do.

男のロマンを刺激する　あのシーン・・・
The scene that stimulates the romance in every man...

遥がスクラッチくじを予知で当てるシーン・・・描きながらもスゲエ興奮したね!
The scene where Haruka predicted and won on those scratch tickets... I totally got excited when I was drawing it!

俗物め・・・
Vulgar bastard...

お金最高!!
Money rules!!

皆様どうぞ2巻の時も助けてください!
Everyone, please help me out when volume 2 is released as well!!
