Volume 5 Chapter 4 : Ura Butou Satsujin (pictures of the huge arena, people entering.) side text : satsujin arena fuuko (seeing other contestants) : wow! these guys look strong! I suddenly feel very uneasy. domon : they look like professional wrestlers, really scary. recca : why are you all so down? they’re just a buncha nobody’s! (very cheerful) princess, hungry? let’s go get something to eat! [wow--] yanagi (clapping) : all right. I want cotton candy. [cool--] domon (sweatdrop) : so cheerful... tokiya : so simple minded. tatsuko (the dragon, holding her mike) : all the teams please register at the front. (the registration form with their names on it. hanabishi recca, kirisawa fuuko, ishijima domon, and mikagami tokiya, notice the different and sometimes ugly handwritings... ugly especially recca’s...) official : team captain... hanabishi recca? heheh...... so you are the recca-dono that kurei-sama talked about. welcome to this tournament... recca : hey, grandpa. is kurei gonna come too? official : kurei-sama? hn. of course he’ll come... hahah...... heheheh... it must be your first time in the tournament? then let me tell you the rules. the competition is a random lottery of teams. every team has a maximum allowance of five members. every team goes on through elimination... I must tell you first, this tournament is an illegal gathering completely cut off the outside world...... therefore, anyway one killed in the tournament will not be investigated or held responsible. yanagi (hanging on to recca tight, scared) : ......... recca : it’s all right, princess! domon (hanging on to fuuko tight, scared) : ......... fuuko : it’s all right, domon... why are you acting so strangely? kagero : [ura butou satsujin...... even though I heard of it, but since it has something to do with kurei... then there must be more to it, can’t be so simple...] official : other than that... you are allowed to use any weapon in the tournament... including madougu! the winner can take all the opponents’ weapons! including the madougu you own...... kagero : [so that’s it... kurei uses this as a method of collecting the spread out madougu! and this is one of the purposes behind this tournament...] official : if the whole team is eliminated-- you must hand the sponsor an offering, as a punishment. recca : what! the loser has to be punished, give an offering? isn’t that over doing it a little! (not happy) official : this is the rule. the more valuable thing you wager, the more exciting it’s gonna be, right? domon : fine! I’ll wage my professional wrestler anjou youji’s t-shirt... official : rejected. fuuko (holding her breasts) : then how about the coupon to touch my breasts! official : rejected. kagero : then touch mine... recca (deformed) : mom! mom! [she feeling all right?] official : then... (looking at yanagi) how about you? yanagi (sweatdrop) : touch my breasts? tokiya (sweatdrop) : [cough, cough!] recca (mad) : bastard! no way! official : it’s really nothing. a lot of the other teams wage people too. lover, parents, friends, etc. this is not a game! the rules are here! it you don’t want to hand her in, then win all the fights! yanagi (determined) : fine! I’ll be the wager! recca : princess! yanagi : please. I really want to do something. in the mansion, everyone put in their lives for me... I always hated myself for being useless. (yeah, me too) I really want to help... (bow) please let me do it! I believe in everyone, you won’t lose! recca, don’t leave me. recca : you cornered me. princess...... now that you said it, I can’t even say no...... domon : hey, then we can’t lose. it’s hanging onto yanagi. fuuko : [stubborn] yanagi won’t change anything she’s decided on. official : [heheheh... mori-sama, everything’s going according to plan!] side text (tokiya thoughtful, flashback) : mikagami, I heard you were always looking for the murderer of your sister-- I think that man’s goal was your family treasure ensui. (kagero turning to leave) maybe the killer was working for kurei. ordered by kurei... perhaps he’ll appeared in this tournament. tokiya : [now my goal has turned into two...] recca : are you two alright? I don’t care if you end up dead. fuuko : don’t underestimate us! you slim! domon : watch who you’re talking to! [ahahah--] fuuko : we have secret weapons you know! domon : we’ll show you what we got later! recca : as for fuuko, I can believe it. but domon... side text : the reason to fight— domon : I’ll beat you up if you say another word! side text : mikagami wants revenge! these guys are natural born warriors... and i...... for princess... and another reason... if we win, we can have the other teams’ madougu, maybe among them is the weapon to break the spell on mom...... a madougu that’ll allow mom to live and die like everybody else, to break her spell...... official : come on... a test for your ability! I’ve always had my doubts... (a lot of fighters standing behind him) on whether you are qualified or not! I want to test you first to see if you are qualified to face kurei-sama! fuuko : we’re being totally underestimated. tokiya (taking out ensui) : what a coincident, I don’t like you anyway. domon : what a pig head! official : kill them! (the men rush at team hokage, banging noise.) man (in kurei’s office) : kurei-sama, they’ve appeared. kurei (staring at the video screen) : I’m watching them. I’ve been expecting you...... just seeing them excites me. (a screen full of beaten men) finishing 20 men in 15 seconds. (the room in all messed up meanwhile from the fight. tatsuko is on the floor shaking.) official (all beaten up) : hahah...... you pass...... but if you think you can win at your current level... contestant A : did you see that? strong...... contestant B : what are you talking about-- most contestants have that level of ability... recca : [don’t underestimate us! idiots.] side text : recca and the others have officially entered the ura butou satsujin. everyone come with a different goal...... the enemies are numerous, (pictures shows neon, genjuro, and some people in hoods) and not easy to defeat. (raiha *yay!* and jisho) but, they can’t lose! (other people in shadow, then yanagi, and recca) the new battle is about to begin! end of volume 5 chapter 4 translator's note : I may be very obsessed that I’m happy at seeing such a small picture of raiha... but hey, it’s better than nothing... and these are only the known members of the jyushinshuu... come on... jyushinshuu... there must be TEN members...? make any sense? the ten leaders of the uruha... now wait till you see the other six... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
