第３章　ハンティング・ツアー　第１話
Episode Three: Hunting Tour, Ch01

Page 073
「賞金制度」　それは広大な国土と貧弱な政治ゆえに
"The Bounty System" Instituted in our large country to compensate for our weak government.

幾つもの州を股にかけて暴れ回った無法者（アウトロー）たちに対する苦肉の策だった
A last resort taken to combat the outlaws rampaging across many of the states.

発展と同時に銃が普及したこの国では武装した犯罪者を生かして捕らえるのは容易でなくー
As we advanced, guns spread across the country, so catching the now armed outlaws alive was no easy task...

同時の手配書にはよくこう書き記してあった・・・
Warrants given at the time were usually written with this message...

「生死を問わず」と
"Dead or Alive."

Page 074
それは政府によって公然と抹殺がー
Obvious proof that the government

許可された証にほかならなかった・・・
publically gave permission to kill...

Page 075
追われる立場の者が逆に何かを追っているとは普通考え難しいものである
It is difficult to think of the hunted as also being a hunter.

ましてその相手が人間ではない者だとしたら・・・
Not to mention that what if what he's hunting isn't human...

人間の姿を持ち　人間を食らう　「怪物」を追っている男の話など信じろと言う方が無理であろう
So it is preposterous to think that a man could be hunting "monsters" that take human form and consume human flesh.

Page 076
その男の罪は晴れぬ誤解の積み重ねでありー
This man's crimes are an unsolvable mess of misunderstandings...

真相を知る者はごくわずかであった・・・
There are very few who know the truth...

ヴィクターフリーマン
Victor Freeman.

やはり貴様か・・・
I knew it was you...

我ら獣人魔族に一人で戦いを挑む愚か者の事は前から知っていた・・・
I knew there was a foolish mortal who challenged us beast demons on his own...

追われる身でありながら
Even though you're a wanted man,

ずいぶん身内を殺してくれたようだな・・・
you've still managed to kill many of my companions...

Page 082
小癪な黒バエめ
You impudent black fly.

思い上がるのもここまでだ・・・
Your conceit ends here...

今度はオレが貴様に挑戦してやろう
I will be your next challenge, boy.

上等だ
Fine by me.

来い
Bring it.

クク・・・そうあわてるな
Heheh... don't be so hasty.

戦いたければオレを追って来い・・・
Hunt me if you want to fight...

総出で歓迎してやる・・・
We'll all be there to welcome you...

待っているぞ
We'll be waiting.


貴様に
That is,

それだけの度胸があるかな？
if you have the balls?

Page 083
チッ
Tch.

Page 084
勝算のないケンカは売らねえ
I don't pick fights I can't win.

俺一人で貴様らを根絶やしにしてやる
I'll eradicate the lot of you by myself.

ハンティング・ツアー
Hunting Tour.

まただ・・・
Here we go again...

また全裸の他殺死体だ
Another victim with a naked corpse.

今年になってこれで三件目だったな
Third case this year.

それなんですが
About that,

他の州でも二・三ー
other states report

よく似た事件が報告されているんです
two or three very similar cases.

Page 085
全裸の変死体の発見例は五件・・・
Five cases of strange naked corpses...

いずれも極度の頭部破損のため身元判定はほぼ不可能
All with severe enough head trauma that their original identities are largely unknown.

凶器は銃器・・・
The murder weapon is a gun...

至近距離から数発同時に発砲したものと思われる・・・
It is believed that multiple discharges were fired at point blank range at the same time...

・・・犯行はいずれも深夜と推測されており
... The crime is believed to have been committed late at night.

その異常な犯行手口の一致からー
Due to the abnormal nature of the crimes,

同一犯による犯行と見て間違いないと思われます
it is believed that they were all committed by the same person.

死体どうしの因果関係も確認されずじまいですが
The relationship between the corpses has yet to be confirmed,

実は調査中にある共通点が発見されました
but a common feature has been found through an investigation.

どの事件でも以前からその周辺地域に猟奇殺人が起きておりー
Bizarre murders took place in the surrounding area before all of the actual incidents...

そして事件を境に猟奇殺人は途絶えているということです
and after the incidents those murders would immediately come to an end.

この奇妙な符合については再調査の必要がありそうですね
It looks like we need to reinvestigate judging from these weird coincidences.

うむ・・・
Yeah...

それに各地で続発している失踪事件も無視できんな
We can't ignore the disappearing people cases either.

Page 086
保安官！付近の住民から証言が取れましたよ
Sheriff! I just got some information from a citizen in the area.

事件の前日怪しい男を見かけたらしいんです
Seems as though he saw someone suspicious the day before the incident.

怪しい男？
Someone suspicious?

試しに手配書を見せたところ
When I gave him some warrants to look through,

この男に間違いないと・・・！
he said it had to be this man...!

ヴィクターフリーマン
Victor Freeman.

この男だと言うのか！！
This man!?

最悪の殺人鬼じゃないか
He's a vicious murderer.

全ての事件がこいつ一人の犯行だとしたら放っては置けんぞ
If he committed all these murders then we can't just sit around.

Page 087
しかし相手があのヴィクターフリーマンならば
But if we're going up against Victor Freeman,

簡単には解決しませんよ・・・
we won't be able to resolve this so easily...

ほめたくはありませんが
I'd hate to speak highly of him,

奴は並みいるアウトローたちとはケタが違う
but he's a step above your average outlaw.

奴が腕利きの賞金稼ぎを何人も返り討ちにしているという話は
He's a legend in the underground,

裏の世界では有名な伝説なんです
a man that's turned the tables on many a skilled bounty hunter.

奴を倒せるほどのハンターが・・・
A hunter skilled enough to defeat him...

いると思いますか！？
Do you think one exists!?

・・・いるとも
... Perhaps.

忘れるな
Never forget.

奴は賞金もケタ違いだという事を・・・
His bounty's a step above everyone else, too...

いくら強くても奴は一人だ！
He's alone, it doesn't matter how strong he is.

凄腕のプロを何人も集めれば必ず倒せる
Any pro can be taken down by a group of people.

必ずだ！！
No matter what!!

Page 088
コールだ・・・
I call...

ジャックのスリーカード
Three jacks.

フフ・・・
Heheh...

悪いな
Sorry, man.

今度もいただきだ
I'm takin' this hand, too.

くうーっ
Agh.

まいったなー
Well, damn.

何よォ　もう
What's with this?

全然弱いじゃないのさ！あんた
You're terrible at this!

カッコ悪い・・・
Well aren't you cool...

Page 089
きっと今日は最悪の運勢に違いねえ・・・
I've just got the worst luck today...

いや　待てよ
Now hang on.

日頃の行いが不真面目過ぎたか？
Maybe I haven't been serious enough?

そう悲観するな
Don't be so disappointed.

勝負は時の運だ
It's all the luck of the draw.

そのうちツキだって戻るぜ
Your luck could be better next hand.

へっへーよく言うわ
Heh, well said.

なー・・・
Right?

イカサマ相手に運もクソもあるかよ
There ain't no luck involved when playing a cheater.

おい・・・
Hey...

何だと？
What'd you say?

あら
Oops.

聞こえちゃった？
You heard that?

Page 090
いや　わりい　わりい
No, no, I'm sorry.

そうムキになるなって
Don't get angry.

敗者のボヤキだよ
Just the grumblings of a loser.

なッ
All right?

おい　てめー
Hey, you.

その右腕どうした？
What happened to your arm?

おう
Oh.

これか？
This?

前に大負けした時に借金のカタに持ってかれちまってなァ・・・
I lost big once, and it was taken as collateral...

さて・・・
Well...

ここらで俺はあがるぜ
I'm done for now.

負けは幾らだ？
How much did I lose?

Page 091
１６００ドルだ
$1,600.

イカサマ呼ばわりまでしやがったんだ
You called us cheaters.

払わなきゃただじゃ済まさねえぜ
Better pay up, or else.

分かってるってそうすごむなよ
I got ya, no need to threaten me.

ちゃんとあてはあんだからさ
I've got it covered.

ほらよ
Here.

取っときな
Take it.

何だこの汚ねえ紙きれは？
What's this dirty scrap of paper?

金はどうした？
Where's the money?

まあ　開けて見ろや
Just open it up, man.

Page 092
コービック三兄弟
The Corvick Brothers.

賞金の合計金額は１７００ドル
Total bounty, $1,700.

１００ドルの釣りはこの際負けといてやる
I'll let you keep the $100 change.

投降しろ
Surrender.

自分で言うのもちょっと照れるが
I hate to say it,

俺は速いぜ
but I'm quick.

Page 093
フン・・・
Hmph...

賞金稼ぎ（ハンター）か　ご苦労なこったな
Bounty hunter? Well done.

アレックスマクレガー
Alex MacGregor.

てめえのうわさは聞いてるぜ
I've heard rumors of you.

片腕の賞金稼ぎなんて減少にいるもんじゃねえ・・・
There ain't exactly too many one armed hunters...

ちえっ何でえ
Bah, you knew?

知ってるなら早く言えよな
You shoulda told me sooner.

芝居までしたのにバカみてーじゃんか
Now I look stupid after all that acting,

俺・・・
don't I...?

ああ　とんでもねえバカだぜ　てめーは
Yes, you sure are quite the idiot,

一人で俺らを捕まえようなんてなァ
to think you'd catch us by yourself.

Page 094
俺たち兄弟が三人だけだと思ったのか！？
You thought it'd just be us three brothers!?

コービック強盗団を甘く見るんじゃねえ
Don't take the Corvick Gang so lightly.

げ
Er.

ちょっと待てよ
Hang on a minute.

おい・・・
Hey...

おまえら・・・
Didn't...

親にどういう教育を受けたんだ！？
you guys learn anything from your parents!?

強盗を始めたのは親父の遺言でな
Us taking up robbin' was our father's last request.

文句は言わせないぜ
We couldn't complain.

Page 095
消えろ　犬野郎
Disappear, dog.

穴だらけにしてやろうか
Or should we riddle you with holes?

そうつれなくすんなよ
Don't treat me like that.

俺にだって意地があるんだ
I've got a backbone, you know.

いまさら引くわけにもいかねえだろうが
I can't just go running away now.

何ィ！？
What!?

おもしれえじゃねーか　兄貴
Sounds fun, brother.

七人相手に勝つ気でいるぜ　こいつ・・・
He thinks he can beat the seven of us...

バカが・・・
The fool...

親父によろしくな
Say hello to your father for me.

そ・・・
This...

そんなバカな・・・
isn't possible...

何だ！？その銃は・・・
What... is that gun!?

新型だ
It's a new model.

イカスだろ
Cool, ain't it?

Page 099
うぐ・・・
Ugh...

くそォ・・・
Damn it...

あばよ
Good-bye.

なかなか楽しかったぜ　お兄ちゃん
That was fun, brothers.

うん・・・
Yes...

楽しかった
That was fun.

さてと
Well then.

悪いけど運ぶの手伝ってくれない？
Could I get a little help carrying them?

Page 100
３０００ドルか・・・
$3,000...?

思わぬ儲けだったなあ
More than I expected.

これだからこの商売は止められねえ
This makes the job all worthwhile.

命がけの仕事だってのに・・・
Even though it's a dangerous job...

あんたときたらまるで遊びだな
it seems like you're just playing around.

好きでやってるんだもんな
I'm doing what I love.

楽しまなきゃ損だろ
And you gotta love what you do.

どうだね　マクレガー
How about it, MacGregor?

あんたほどの腕なら
With your skills

ここらで本物を狙ってみないか？
think you'd wanna go for a real villain?

Page 101
ヴィクターフリーマン
Victor Freeman.

すっかり有名人だな
Quite famous, aren't you?

久しぶりに遊んでやるか
Been a long time since we had some fun.

Page 102
何処へ逃げようと
You can't get away,

何処へ隠れようと無駄だ・・・
no matter where you run, no matter where you hide...

獣人（きさまら）の居場所は
I'll find where you bastards are

同族（なかま）の血が導き示す
with the blood of your companions.

一匹残らず狩り殺してくれる！！
I'll hunt and kill every single one of you!!
