I just noticed I can't really use Elithabethan english well enough to make the translation better...<br />Also, looking for HQ scans [hopefully from Tanks] to make this series even better!<br /><br />Enough of talking, here is the trans<br /><br /><br />Page 00<br /><br /><br />Chapter 04: Regional Delicacy Nanana [T/N it sounds a bit strange]<br />Usagi Dojo<br />starts off with these members!<br />Can they run straight forward?<br /><br />Page 01<br />Text: where’s is he going with one of his disciple? [i’m kinda thinking to use disciple- master relationship for now. Sorry for changing it abruptly. Maybe I will sometimes switch instructor with master. ]<br /><br />Master Gosuke, what’s your ladyship’s age? [trying to make it sound a bit more like old English]<br /><br />Hmm, it’s the same as mine.// 15…probably<br /><br />How does she look like?<br /><br />She has a round eye…and is short of one tooth<br />But why would you ask me such thing?<br /><br />Well, I don’t really know // I’m just curious about the fact you are married<br /><br />Are we not there just yet?<br /><br />Almost!<br /><br />(He’s one of the disciples of the Usagi Style Dojo, Chiyokichi // we are heading to the village he lived in…)<br /><br />The reason is that yesterday…<br />When the three came to pay their entrance fee…<br /><br />Page 02<br />Now the entrance fee can be paid in products instead of money // usually people pay the owner in firewood, candles, or seed oil, things that have quite a value<br />Or so I heard…but…<br /><br />All right, I shall be the first…<br /><br />Here ya go<br /><br />Thi-this is…<br />Pornography!!? [T/N in Japanese it’s written: Spring (as in the season) Book]<br /><br />Pornography: It means these are obscene books!!<br /><br />I…I Can’t take these things!<br /><br />What are you saying? // You will grow tired of wife in no time<br /><br />These are precious and rare porns. Enjoy them // until they become boring [T/N Here he says until they become winter books] <br /><br />Vassal Lord<br />Settsu Masayuki<br /><br />The one who’s joking around is my brother-in-law… // in other word he’s the brother of Shino<br />And the one who just paired us up to his likings alone<br /><br />Page 03<br />It seems like he applied after seen our effort // though I’ve a mountain load of things to ask him<br />I decided to treat him the same way as other applicants<br /><br />How about… quiting smoking inside the dojo…<br /><br />Why? That’s so strict<br /><br />Is…he …harassing me…?<br /><br />Hey…what’s your name?<br /><br />Maro…<br /><br />Or he says. // I don’t really understand his nature since he’s quite taciturn…<br />But I noticed him swinging the Shinai [sword made from Bamboo] silently in the corner of the dojo // so he’s probably not a bad person either<br /><br />What…on earth is this…?<br /><br />………a bonito…<br /><br />…though this is indeed a charm of good luck… // it’s probably been dead for 10 days…<br /><br />(I don’t think he’s a bad person…)<br /><br />Master Gosuke // please have this…<br /><br />He’s the last one…<br />OOOoo!!<br />His is the first one that really looks like a gift!<br /><br />I’m so moved… // for you to bring me this tasty-looking herb rice cake!<br /><br />Hehe // I’m glad you are pleased!<br /><br />But that’s only nature! // because it was made in my village!<br /><br />Chiyokichi is one of the peasants from a farming village outside Edo// though his appearance is much better than the other two…<br /><br />Shall I have one right now?<br />Please! Feel free to have some<br /><br />Page 05<br />Oueeee!!<br /><br />Hah, hah<br /><br />Gocchin, why are you so voracious? // it’s all because you ate that rotten bonito!<br />No…I …threw that away right after the meeting…<br /><br />Maybe that Herb Rice cake was rotten as well, // it didn not only taste terrible but also breaks down your stomach…<br /><br />Ehh… I don’t feel well…<br />Maybe I should take a break for tomorrow’s training…<br /><br />Master Gosuke!<br />Hmm?<br /><br />It was Chiyokichi // I thought he came to apologize for the rice cakes<br />So I decided to hear what he’s got to say<br /><br />What’s… wrong…why this late in the night…?<br />Sorry for disturbing your household // but I’ve something to say…<br /><br />Page 06<br />Please come with me! <br />I want you to come to my village… because there are quite an amount of requests there!<br /><br />Chiyokichi…these rice cakes…<br /><br />Ah that! It was good wasn’t it? // the herb used to make them is the regional delicacy for my village!<br /><br />Regional Delicacy…? // to honest, even though he begged me to do so, I would never have gone to his village…<br />However…<br />Out of only three disciples… // he looked the most promising…<br />I will be in much trouble if he left<br />So I began preparing for the trip…<br />And headed toward Chiyokichi’s village…<br /><br />Here your hat // your medicine// and your mask<br /><br />My mask?<br /><br />It’s great, I tell you! I just invented this new style! // it’s really funny!<br /><br />(It doesn’t look even slightly different to me…)<br /><br />Page 07<br /><br />The Usagi Style Dojo… <br />Is quite a good dojo<br /><br />Hmm…you think so?<br /><br />I actually looked through loads of dojos<br />Even though I had things I wanted to do, // all of them tried to force their ideology or whatever on me<br /><br />And Master is super strong as well! // I heard you crushed the other group and took it over from them?<br /><br />Hmm…the way you say it is kinda wierd…// But that’s basically what happened…<br /><br />Hey Hey, whaccha gonna do, you filthy blood is now on my precious mask? <br /><br />I wanna be stronger by learning from someone like you…<br />Or rather…<br /><br />I really have to<br />Become stronger<br /><br />We are here!<br /><br />Page 08<br />This is my village<br />Namely Nanana Village! <br /><br /><br />The numerous papier mache resembling grass... // and banners with excessive amount of &quot;Na&quot; on them...<br /><br />Whispered, &quot;You better go back to where you belong&quot;<br /><br /> <br /><br />Banner: Welcome to<br /><br />Where Nanana herbs are cultivated at<br /><br />Nanana Villlage! <br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 09<br /><br />Master Gosuke! This way! // I'll introduce you to the chief first! <br /><br />Hm,...all rig...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Wait!!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Uwaaaa!!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Come back // don't run~<br /><br /> <br /><br />Looks like without wasting much time<br /><br />I can take care of this business<br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 10<br /><br />We are saved! <br /><br />Thank you, Mr. Samurai!<br /><br /> <br /><br />To think that there is a grass monster... // you didn't tell me that, Chiyokichi<br /><br /> <br /><br />Yeah, of course I didn't<br /><br /> <br /><br />Because THAT is<br /><br />The village chief<br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 11<br /><br />For the rudeness earlier<br /><br />I'm apologize sincerely!<br /><br /> <br /><br />No no it's all right, Mr. Samurai<br /><br />You didn't know of the costume of the festival, and besides // according to chiyokishi we can rely on you for help as well...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Ha..., of course!!<br /><br /> <br /><br />You are probably exhausted and hungry from the journey // or maybe from beating up this old man? // go and prepare some food<br /><br /> <br /><br />He's completely enjoying himself... [T/N Not sure. Ne ni Motsu...?]<br /><br /> <br /><br />This is our best known delicacy<br /><br />Nanana soup<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 12<br /><br />It's right in front of me...// since I shall never make the mistake of eating this // I decided to divert the topic<br /><br /> <br /><br />...Even...if you say this is your best known delicacy...<br /><br /> I've not really heard about this herb called Nanana...what is it...? [ <br /><br /> <br /><br />Na? What? You don't know Nanana? [T/N He's saying so many &quot;na&quot;s that Gosuke is getting a little irritate, lol]<br /><br /> <br /><br />As this name of this village, Nanana Village suggests, // this is a village flourished from the cultivation of Nanana Herb. [T/N Nana=seven Na= herb/grass/weed]<br /><br />Many travellers looking for Nanana came here // and our village prospered from money made in trading...<br /><br /> <br /><br />However, every year less people visited the village // And not only that, even the youngster began to abondon village<br /><br /> <br /><br />Despite the fact we have all devoted ourselves to the cultivation of Nanana...<br /><br />None of us...// have an idea about what's wrong... <br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 13<br /><br />Now i take a look at this thing called Nanana herb... // i noticed this is what people called &quot;the ordinary weed&quot; <br /><br /> <br /><br />even without cultivation, You can find them wherever you wish to...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Maybe it was good a long time when there was no food...<br /><br />But there are tons of real gourmet in the streets of Edo...<br /><br />There is no way someone's gonna like the Nanana enough to eat it...<br /><br />Or so I thought, but // the situation here prevented to say it aloud...<br /><br /> <br /><br />This is real good, Nanana Soup!<br /><br />The ones who don't appreciate stuff this good are real idiots!<br /><br />Gimme more!<br /><br /> <br /><br />That man...<br /><br />He's already on his 7th bowl...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Somehow in this village<br /><br />I'm the one who's completely wrong...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Everyone, how long do you plan to sit here and do nothing?<br /><br />There's only one reason to the village's decline! <br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 14<br /><br />...we were abondoned...// by &quot;Nanagami sama&quot; <br /><br /> <br /><br />To my grief...// Chiyokichi was no exception either...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Wha...don't say things that will get all of us into trouble, you bastard Chiyokichi!<br /><br /> <br /><br />There's no way for such thing to happen!<br /><br /> <br /><br />What? Despite the fact that you are all thinking of it? // I just said what you couldn't say!<br /><br /> <br /><br />It looked Nanagami-sama is <br /><br />The protector deity for Nanana whom they have been worshiping for a long time<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Everyone knows the reason, right?<br /><br />The reason I took Master Gosuke here...<br /><br /> <br /><br />I can't put up with this any longer // with Nanana and Nanagami-sama...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Even if I have been devoting myself all this time...<br /><br />And still we get nothing in turn, <br /><br />I'm never going to forgive them!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Please forgive him...// Chiyokichi has been Nanagami-sama's<br /><br />Priests since his childhood, // and he believes in our god more than anybody in this village<br /><br /> <br /><br />The words of a priest like him...// might actually be true...<br /><br />For now, we have been enlarging the scale of the festival each year... // two of the youngster left the village today once again...<br /><br /> <br /><br />All right, Everyone!<br /><br />We shall hold another festival tonight!<br /><br />On his back: &quot;Na&quot;<br />And if the things doesn't change, then...<br /><br />We shall bet<br /><br />Our future on Chiyokichi's plan...    <br /><br /> <br /><br />Singing: Naa NA Naa Naa Na ...<br /><br />And being unable to say i have something else to do, // they villagers held the largest ever<br /><br />Nanana Festival in the village history<br /><br />But of course, the festival was quite a failure<br /><br />And on next morning, <br /><br />Another Youngster abondoned his village<br /><br /> <br /><br />I'm Hungry... // but if I ate this again...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Are you not going to eat, sir?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 17<br /><br />Fuaaa // afuu<br /><br />Hmmm // I couldn't sleep well with an empty stomach...<br /><br /> <br /><br />Master Gosuke!!<br /><br />Huh?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Please make the preparations<br /><br />For departure!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Heh?<br /><br />Bu-But where?<br /><br /><br />How could you not know?<br /><br />On the tip of the Nanana Mountain // is the Holy Body of Nanagami-sama<br /><br /> <br /><br />Ha...haa...?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Why are you being so slow!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Page 18<br /><br />I'm asking you to help me...<br /><br />Cut the thing down in half!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Text: As the master, <br /><br />The first thing he has to encounter is actually &quot;god&quot; <br /><br /> <br /><br />Ha...?<br /><br />What a cursed action to take... // Shino...what on earth is going to happen to me...?</summary>

For now, as part of your training to be a Bushi…<br />Come with us to our Patrol?<br />===Page 18===     <br />Uh…hmm…Kiyoki-dono…<br />That patrol thing… what exactly is it…<br />Well…it’s a unique practice of our dojo…<br />If one is born in the family of a Bushi<br />In order to become the example for the peasants and merchants<br />One must not take any shameful actions<br />However, to my grief there are many who does // We walk around the city during the morning, the day, and the night in search for these people<br />And correct them<br />===Page 19===     <br />You…You are going to remove…<br />These sort of Samurai with your sword?<br /><br />That’s right // there’s no need for those shameless individuals to live<br />However, // it’s not only the Samurais…<br /><br />It was probably during the noon patrol… // there was a woman with rabbit masks from a Bushi family doing shopping<br />That sort of dirty errand, // a Bushi should’ve sent a servant of sort<br />It’s all such a shame…<br />Though I carelessly failed to cut her<br /><br />===Page 20===     <br />Wha…<br />How rude!<br />You bastard, what are you planning?<br /><br />===Page 21===  <br />A….A duel…<br />I wish for a duel…with you<br /><br />You don’t even know your own standing<br />You are a low rank bushi after all<br />Ughh!<br /><br />Take care of him everyone<br />Until he calms down [T/N Subject not specified. Could be “Until you feel like stopping”]<br />G: Wa…Wait!!<br />How could you<br />The instructor…<br />===Page 22===  <br />Several Days after<br />The two samurais who lost to me<br />Cut their own guts to keep their honor<br />“Thee shall find<br />Death as an aspect of Bushido,” huh…<br /><br />It’s about reputation and honor…I’m tired of it<br />If we ever cared about such things // Shino as well as myself<br />Will never live happily<br />I shall show you…<br />What I decided as …<br />My own Bushido<br />===Page 23===  <br />I will change it<br />In my Usagi Dojo<br />The least of all to a world where<br />You can eat tasty foods all you want<br /><br />First of all…<br />The objective of this Usagi Dojo is…<br />To surpass Koubu Manor<br />As a splendid dojo!<br />===Page 24===  <br />So ambitious…<br />Can I keep up with it…?<br />Hmm<br /><br />Instructor Udagawa <br />The essential ideology is…<br />All right!<br /><br />Ehhh…For my Usagi Dojo, <br />There’s no ideology!<br />To enjoy using the sword as one wish<br />And head toward the goal one has decided for oneself is good enough!<br /><br />G: Huh? What’s with that look?  <br />It isn’t that troublesome to think of it by yourself!<br />===Page 25===  <br /><br />I did not intend it to be a requirement of any sort // but it turned out that way anyways<br /><br />Is he stupid?<br /><br />If we can decide on such thing so easily // we won’t be coming to such place!<br /><br />(And all that remained… <br />Are only these three…)<br /><br />[insert Text: ] All in all, he acquired the pupils!

You are weird! <br />(I’m more normal than you)<br />(It is said to be demeaning for a Bushi to eat at such place)<br />(If a mere sheet of towel can protect your honor, then everyone will do that) <br />Shino: Yam! It’s good!<br />(same goes for me…)<br />Shino: Thank you very much! <br />Thank you<br />No problem. Please come again<br />=======Page 28==========    <br />(After returning to home, my wife made a few more masks)<br />(and went into the other room to sleep)<br />That was the first day<br />We slept with our futon next to each other [Japanese people used to sleep on tatami, which is the ground, and they only puts the futon in between.]<br />The day my wife came to my house<br />I remember it clearly.<br />Hmm…Hello!<br />Umm?<br />What have you heard from your brother about me?<br />Well…<br />I think it was…<br />=======Page 29==========    <br />A Good looking, caring<br />“The Bushi that cannot be missed” and splendid samurai<br />Her brother is truly // A unbelievable liar<br />Probably Sempai has<br />Thought of her as a pain in the ass and an extra mouth<br />That night…<br />The sleeping Shino was…<br />=======Page 30==========       <br />Shedding tearing that made her pillow wet<br />…that’s probably the way it is…<br />To add the fact that she was wedded for convenience, <br />The samurai was the exact opposite of what she heard<br />The son of Nochoge…<br />Just hold on for a little longer…<br />Eeeiii! <br />I might not achieve <br />“The Samurai that cannot be missed”, but…<br />My sword skills<br />I shall succeed using them!<br />=======Page 31==========      <br />I will become a splendid Samurai!<br />=======Page 32==========      <br />And so<br />The day of the match has come<br />The stage where I will shine<br />The teacher is the referee<br />Although I don’t think he will be doing me a favor // somehow I feel encouraged<br />As if they forgot how to blink<br />They turned all the attention here<br />And so<br />=======Page 33==========      <br />(There it is! )<br />(The road to success!) <br />I’m pleased to be here<br />Please go soft on me<br />Begin! <br />Facer!

        <summary type="html">Its a work in progress....but this is half (Or less than half) of the first chapter of Samurai Usagi. Pwned Hokage wanted it, and the TOC seems to indicate that this is the next big hit so i attempted it. NOW i'd like to point out that as i tell everyone i am NOT fluent in japanese, mearly a student, and Usagi is based in olden Japan so there are lots of things that a poor little student like i may not get. Please add your two cents if you feel like something is horribly wrong and....enjoy it as best as you can. Next part when i have time.<br /><br />Oh since i've already been getting requests, this translation i'm afraid is for KEFI only. Thats right only KEFI can use this script...although depending on how they like this translation...that could change. I'll let everyone know however...<br /><br /><br />(Balding...)<br /><br />(Lets be good and retire already...)<br /><br />ST: These feelings are the starting points!<br /><br />More text: This is the first issue of a new serialization!<br />(Samurai Usagi)<br /><br />(Being able to take flight)<br /><br />?: Yatsu!!<br /><br />02<br /><br />The ups and downs of life! A pure story of a samurai who will not be discouraged!<br /><br /><br />(To become a splendid Samurai!)<br /><br />Number One<br />The Rabbit is Splashing, and Splashing is the Rabbit<br /><br />(The family heir Udagawa Gousuke)<br /><br />Brand New Serialization!<br />Begining of the Book Color, and 54 pages!<br /><br />(The Clumsy fellow, will find what is most important to him.)<br /><br />By Fukushima Teppei<br /><br />(15 year old and married!)<br /><br />(For the sake of becoming his bride!)<br /><br />(This event occurred half a year ago already...)<br /><br />Gousuke: Ah...i had to wake up early.....Because i'm already behind schedule <br />for the work at the castle...<br /><br />Crap...<br /><br />Upper-ranked Asano-dono....<br /><br />Today was the day for Asagi's cheap goods to be bought..<br />Gousuke: What will i do?<br /><br />I'm wearing this that shows that i've been married....<br /><br />I guess i'll have to dirty it up a bit...<br /><br />(So this is my first day at my castle.)<br /><br />(The superior's Kimono pretty much confirms this is the star.)<br /><br />Gousuke: Okay, seems like Theres no blame here...<br /><br />(Social Status is top)<br /><br />(Anything that dirty's your reputation is hated)<br /><br />Gousuke: But why is everyone wearing such cheap stuff? Its like they didn't <br />have time to wash or dry any of it...<br /><br />(That's what's called &quot;Bushi&quot;)<br /><br />(For Example...)<br /><br />(If you wear a really nice looking Kimono....)<br /><br />Guy: Bastard! Wearing a nicer looking Kimono than mine! Take this!<br /><br />(Next)<br /><br />(And on the other hand, wearing a kimono thats a bit shoddy and coming on <br />over...)<br /><br />Guy: Bastard! Wearing a shoddy kimono and coming here...take this!!<br /><br />(Like so.)<br /><br />(In the end, today i was...)<br /><br />Guy: Bastard! Wearing a dirty Kimono! Take this!<br /><br />(Hit again.)<br /><br />Guy: Nah don't think about it so much.<br /><br />Its not a fun thing you know? Working in Tekito, Meeting with Tekito....Its <br />not like you're a farming apprentice, yet they make you get the food.<br /><br />Guy2: Well thats what its like to be a samurai.<br /><br />Guy?: Being Born into a Samurai family, it sure is strange isn't it?<br /><br />(Above or Below, it really doesn't matter much to me. I just want to work <br />my hardest in this &quot;Tekito&quot; place.)<br /><br />(Especially with the things that i have lost. I can't afford to turn back <br />here.)<br /><br />(These are the things....that you bet your life on.)<br /><br />(I was to be the Samurai's successor.)<br /><br />(In brief, since my dad followed the way of the Bushido, it was of course decided that i the child would follow it too.)<br /><br />(Day in and Day out, i watched my Dad's hair thin.)<br /><br />(In my child like heart, i imagined it was saying i'd have to be preparied to follow the way of Bushido.)<br /><br />(However in my house, it was normal for the older person to succeed the father.)<br /><br />(I could be rest assured that it wouldn't be me then.)<br /><br />(But..)<br /><br />Lady: Dear! I know you must go...But it is also about time you Retired!<br /><br />Dad: My active duty goes throughout my lifetime.<br /><br />As long as my hair is done up in this samurai's bun, i will continue to be a samurai!<br /><br />I will go to the castle.<br /><br />Lady: D...Dear!<br /><br />Man: Good morning！Such an auspicious event to see you Tsukeyaku dono<br /><br />Tsukeyaku: Hm...Its you Kihee<br /><br />Huh...what is this scent of the beach shore?<br /><br />(Because his head had gone bald....Dad...desperatly tried a last ditch plan.)<br /><br />Top Text: Seweed.<br /><br />Dad: Certainly....Spring is on its way...<br /><br />(That joke of a head of his, especially coming to the castle resulted in one thing. Seppuku.)<br /><br />(At that rate, Brother became the next in line to follow the Bushido.)<br /><br />Bro: Ugh...Shoo shoo.<br /><br />Gah! So persistant! Shoo! Shoo!!<br /><br />Big dude: Hey....Do i look like a fool to you? Well do i? Do you know what i hate most about you?<br /><br />Bro: Huh? Wha?<br /><br />(Seppuku.)<br /><br />Gosuke: Waaaaaaaaaaaah!<br /><br />Mom?: Gosuke, Theres no one else, so the path of a Samurai lies on you...<br /><br />(Because of a Baldness and Mosquito death. I had to take this on.)<br /><br />(That guardian was gone, so only i'm left.)<br /><br />(Because of so many  bad points like those, i'm a certified loser.)<br /><br />Samurai: ahh its him.<br /><br />Samurai: Yeah yeah the leftovers.<br /><br />Gousuke: Leftovers?<br /><br />(It wasn't a war or anyting like that, But this day and that day, if you wanted to live a long life it meant working hard. There wasn't any other way to go at it at all.)<br /><br />(However i always always end up being surrounded from left to right by the superior's Kimonos.)<br /><br />Gosuke: I was hoping to hear more about Swordmanship here...<br /><br />How about it?<br /><br />Guy: Just quit it already.<br /><br />Guy2: Gosuke, You should just go to a Dojo.<br /><br />though with your luck you'll screw up and have to commit Seppuku!<br /><br />Gosuke: I don't plan to accept the same fate as my brother and father!<br /><br />Before i can become a top samurai, i need something unique which is why i'm asking you guys!<br /><br />Guy2: Why do you want to do that Gosuke?<br /><br />Guys: MARRIED?!?<br /><br />Gosuke: Yeah...<br /><br />Up until now i've been keeping that a little secret, but daily life has become painful...<br /><br />In order to to get by i've been trying to think of a good martial art.<br /><br />Guy: But...how did  you end up like this?<br /><br />(Its wrong...)<br /><br />Gosuke: Well the truth is...Senpai...<br /><br />Senpai: Yo....Gosuke chan...you're unmarried right?<br /><br />How about my little sister? She's a looker, and her personality isn't a problem either.<br /><br />&quot;The wife of a bushi is important&quot; They say, but women are sure hard to find...<br /><br />Gousuke: Y...Yeah...<br /><br />Guy: Hm...<br /><br />Guy2: So you say but....<br /><br />(Yeah its something like that.)<br /><br />(As a buisnessman not a Bushi, i forcefully was decided to marry into this family.)<br /><br />(No matter where i went it was like everywhere was determined by social status.)<br /><br />(In summary.)<br /><br />Man: In our house we're find with our humble social status! I won't hand over my daughter!<br /><br />(And thats what was said.)<br /><br />(However It seems every human needs a wife, even though i don't understand why really.)<br /><br />(These two guys used rather vulgar ways to answer my questions, although....i didn't really get answers to anything.)<br /><br />Gosuke: I suppose that theres no way around it, i'll just have to go to the Kyoumeishnchi dojo like i thought!<br /><br />Guy: You there....knock it off.<br /><br />Gosuke: Why?<br /><br />Guy: Theres something you should see first before going.<br /><br />Guy: Theres some kind of new secret sword style there, look at this apperance of mine...<br /><br />Guy2: Me too...<br /><br />I'm not thinking of going there again.<br /><br />(Grrrrr.....It's so stupid...)<br /><br />(I know those wound's origins. Izaemon tried to get a tattoo, but it got messed up....)<br /><br />Izaemon: eeeeyouch!!!<br /><br />(Uemon...well..he was trying to do something.)<br /><br />Uemon: Ow! Dammit thats no good! It hurts! It hurts!<br /><br />(&quot;Go on and set out&quot; The two of them said, so i went there and had a look without hiding. &quot;Or at least thats what i said.&quot;)<br /><br />Gousuke: Anyone in?<br /><br />(All i could do that day was head to the dojo with my best foot forward and hope i didn't offend anyone.)<br /><br />Old man: Hmm....How can i help you?<br /><br />Gouskue: H...ah! I'm a person looking for work, Udagawa Gosuke!<br /><br />I was hoping i could be accepted here to learn how to use a sword!<br /><br />Old man: Sure, please enter.<br /><br />Hmm..You sure have a interesting stance...<br /><br />Itou!<br /><br />Itou: Yes!<br /><br />Gosuke: Huh?<br /><br />Old man: First lets just see how good your arms are.<br /><br />Start!<br /><br />Itou: Yaaaaaaaaaaaah!!<br /><br />Gosuke: Huh? Wai---<br /><br />Itou: Shi---<br /><br />Not yet!!<br /><br />Old man: Hm...<br /><br />As i thought.<br /><br />(I was surrounded by several different faces day by day. I could never forget them.)<br /><br />(This revived blade in my hand now could reach anything i thought.)<br /><br />(From the time i was a kid...)<br /><br />(I loved the ideal of swordsmanship.)<br /><br />(I remember now, that Dad tried to teach me some things.)<br /><br />Dad: Guh!!<br /><br />Heheh, You're not too bad Gosuke. Even slightly better than the older man.<br /><br />Gosuke: Thank you.<br /><br />Now please allow me to go again!<br /><br />Dad: No thats enough! As expected your body needs to rest some. We'll pick up tomorrow.<br /><br />Your mind could use some time as well.<br /><br />Gosuke: Huh? Thats...well of course...<br /><br />Dad: Ah no no, i know thats your weakness and all <br /><br />but..<br /><br />Day in and day out, from this back, you can see the hair fading away....<br /><br />Gosuke: Hahah, dad you're weird! <br /><br />Old man: Splendid!<br /><br />Now remember to protect the waste!<br /><br />Gosuke: Ye-Yeah...<br /><br />Old man: There may not be a war, but lately the importance or martial arts has become more and more minor.<br /><br />The truth is that swordmanship IS Bushido!<br /><br />Old man: Thats why you must get stronger.<br /><br />To be able to become successful in later life you must save it.<br /><br />Your strength, and abilities.<br /><br />and your sword! Use it to pearce through the lies!<br /><br />(I noticed it quickly....)<br /><br />(That unfortunatly patching up pride wasn't exactly a strong point i had at all.)<br /><br />(All i could do was search for another road to go down.)<br /><br />Gosuke: Not yet....i need to increase my training...<br /><br />I've returned!!<br /><br />wawawah!!<br /><br />?: Ah!!<br /><br />Girl: Welcome back! <br /><br />You're late!<br /><br />(From the gap of time i went to the castle.)<br /><br />Gosuke: U...yeah...<br /><br />I just went to the dojo for a bit.<br /><br />(My wife Shino had been secretly making masks, To support our finances.)<br /><br />Gosuke: They've increased...definatly.<br /><br />Just as a predicted.....<br /><br />although...<br /><br />Gosuke: This...<br /><br />What the hell kind of mask is it?<br /><br />Shino: Oh my, you didn't notice? They're all Rabbits!<br /><br />Gosuke: These are rabbits? and.....ALL OF THEM?!<br /><br />Shino: Teeheehee I love them!<br /><br />Rabbits that is!<br /><br />Gosuke: But..shouldn't the Rabbits be laughing like i told you?<br /><br />And the ears should be more up like this...<br /><br />Shino: Huh? Really?<br /><br />This gave me a good feeling...or so i thought....<br /><br />(The wife that senpai had told me about....)<br /><br />(Was nothing like he said.)<br /><br />(He said one thing, but her mannerisms were another.)<br /><br />Shino: Now for breakfast!<br /><br />Gosuke: Uh...Yeah.<br /><br />(How could this be how the wife of a successor is supposed to behave and in a place like this?)</summary>
