An Immortal Talent, scene 3Hmm. You're Miyamoto Musashi?
I was imagining someone more rugged.
ふむ。お主が宮本武蔵か。もっと厳ついのを想像していたが…
An Immortal Talent, scene 3Read the Tale of Genji. It's a good story.
I should know—I wrote it.
あとで『源氏物語』を読め。あれを書いたのがこの式部だ
An Immortal Talent, scene 3Unfortunately I died a few hundred years ago, but there
is just such abundant pathos in this world left to uncover.
数百年前に死んだが、この世には『いとあはれ』なる話が まだ山のように眠っている
An Immortal Talent, scene 3Dead or not, I simply won't leave the mortal
realm with so many tales undiscovered and untold.
それらを集めて書にまとめ、 新たな物語を紡ぐためにこの世に留まっている
An Immortal Talent, scene 3Moving along, have you heard? There are strange
happenings at Nijo-jo Castle. Supposedly, a mysterious
Genma is on a rampage, and people are going missing.
さて、いま式部が注目するのは、二条城の珍事。 謎の幻魔が大暴れ。人さらいまで起こって大混乱
An Immortal Talent, scene 3Indeed. And Genma usually leave corpses.
If people are disappearing...to what end?
左様。そして、人をさらっている。 …どんな幻魔が、何のために? 
An Immortal Talent, scene 3I simply must learn the truth of this oddity, and I would
call upon you, Miyamoto Musashi, to ascertain it for me.
式部はこの珍事の真相が知りたくてたまらない。 ゆえに宮本武蔵。お主に調べてもらいたいのだ
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 7Not if you're outside. I hate the outside.
If I have need of you when you're outside,
I will be using this butterfly.
嫌だ。式部は外に出るのが大嫌いだ。 故に、お主に用事があるときはこの蝶を使う
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 7More importantly! Details. I want
to hear them, so come here at once.
それより事の顛末を知りたい。式部のところまで来て聞かせてくれ
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8Hmm...it's an even sadder story than I expected.
I feel just terrible for the victims.
話は分かった。…しかし何たる悲劇。 犠牲となった者たちが哀れでならん
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8Musashi. If nothing else, you appear to be a good person.…武蔵。お主は、少なくとも悪いヤツではなさそうだ
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8In that case, I have a job for you. With pay, naturally.そこを見込んで、仕事を頼みたい。無論、礼は用意する
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8Lately, my Lion Dogs haven't been returning home.式部が使いにやった狛犬たちが、戻ってこない
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8Usually, they travel throughout Kyoto, collecting
heart-wrenching tales for me such that I can stay indoors.
式部の代わりに、京に散らばる あはれなる物語を収集させているのだが…
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8And one more thing.それともう一つ
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8Kyoto is a place with no shortage of
strange happenings, but among them...
京都で起こる不可思議な事件の中には、式部の心を揺さぶる物語…
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8There are some true mysteries,
the kind that set my heart ablaze!
すなわち『京都奇譚』がいくつも存在している
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8You are to investigate them. I will be there
too, of course. Or rather, my butterfly will be.
ゆえに事件の調査を任せたい。 式部も蝶となって駆け付け協力しよう
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8I've marked the relevant locations for you on your map.
You can start now, or sooner. Your choice!
事件の気配がある場所に印を付けておいた。 早速向かってくれて構わない
What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8And with that, I have writing to return to. Unfortunately
I will have to ignore anything you say until I conclude.
式部はこれから執筆を始める。 以降は書き終えるまで何も聞こえない
The Demon on the Mount, scene 11I have a...slight Genma problem at Yasaka Shrine. They're
all so noisy and it's interrupting my writing. Do come soon.
八坂神社が幻魔に取り囲まれて難儀している。 ギーギーギャーギャーとうるさくて執筆に障るゆえ、すぐに来い
A Haunted Distraction, scene 1I was not scared.
My concentration was simply interrupted.
怖がってなどいない。式部は執筆に集中できぬから…
A Haunted Distraction, scene 1What unintelligent sounding voices! So uncouth!馬鹿みたいな大声で…! 何と品のない…!
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 1Thirst for vengeance is a fire that consumes all.復讐心は、炎に例えられる
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 1What's left of the Yoshioka school awaits you
at Rendaino. I wonder, what kind of story
will fanning their vengeful flames bring?
蓮台野で、吉岡一門の残党がお主を待っている。 渦巻く炎がいかなる物語を生み出すか、楽しみなことだ
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5The Hanging Monkeys.くくり猿
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5It's said you can give up one desire,
and they will grant another in exchange.
己の欲を一つ抑えることで、願いが一つ叶うと言われている…
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5Yoshioka's men lost themselves in their desire to kill
Musashi and exact their revenge. It took little for Dokyo to
trick them with the legend into giving up their humanity.
吉岡の者たちは、『武蔵を倒す』という復讐の炎に巻かれて 我を忘れ、くくり猿を利用した道狂の口車に乗せられた
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5This tale ended as I predicted.結末は先ほど見た通りだ
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5The sad end of foolish warriors who would
feed even their own flesh to the fire to
stoke the flames of their vengeance.
復讐の炎で自身を焼き尽くしてしまった、 悲しく、愚かな剣士たちの末路だ
Some Unfinished Monkey Business, scene 5How heart-wrenching.いとあはれなり
The Light of Vengeance, scene 1Kiyomizu-dera Temple, he said? I smell
danger coming from that way myself.
清水寺…だそうだ。確かに危険な香りが漂っている
The Light of Vengeance, scene 5Your results speak for themselves, Musashi. I'll be counting
on you for further investigations and Lion Dog rescues.
見事だな、宮本武蔵。 これからも、事件の調査と狛犬の救出を頼むぞ
The Light of Vengeance, scene 5With the compensation I provide, is this not a
beneficial arrangement for us both? Until next time!
ちゃんと礼は渡す。お互い悪い話ではないだろう。 では、またな
The Light of Vengeance, scene 6Goddess Kannon of the Stone Lantern.石灯篭観音
The Light of Vengeance, scene 6A defeated warrior once carved the goddess Kannon into
a stone lantern with his fingernails and swore revenge.
敵に敗れて捕らわれたある武士が、 爪で観音様を刻んで復讐を誓った
The Light of Vengeance, scene 6The stone lantern where the man
was found, is the very same one.
男がいた石灯篭には、その観音様が祀られていたのだ
The Light of Vengeance, scene 6It seems the Malice combined both the lingering vow in
the lantern, and the man's own desire for vengeance.
男の復讐心と、灯篭に込められた情念が、 瘴気によって結びついてしまったというわけだな
The Light of Vengeance, scene 6The strength of human passion is inconceivable.
Truly a tale fit for my collection.
人間の情念とは底知れぬものだ。 ゆえに、いとあはれなる物語となる
A Wife's Prayer, scene 1I'd like to hear the wife's side of this horrid man's story.
She must be at Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
あのクズ男の妻から話を聞きたい。 清水寺へ行かないか?
A Wife's Prayer, scene 4Oh, how very curious.ほう、これは興味深い
A Wife's Prayer, scene 4Two things. One is what our devoted wife is praying to.二つある。 一つはここで祈っている相手
A Wife's Prayer, scene 4The other is the rapidly increasing cloud of
Malice that her intense emotions are augmenting.
もう一つは、あの妻の念が強すぎて、 瘴気がどんどん濃くなっているということ
A Wife's Prayer, scene 5Then there's nothing for it but to see this story to
its end. Shall we return to her and her husband's home?
ならばこの物語の結末を見届けるとしようではないか。 夫婦の家に戻ってみるといい
A Wife's Prayer, scene 6Yashajin.――夜叉神だ
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7A god that purges bad karma and brings good karma.悪縁を断ち、良縁を結ぶ神。 それが夜叉神だ
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7However, some bad karma cannot be purged. In those cases,
Yashajin is said to curse the karma's source instead.
ただこの夜叉神…どうしても切れない悪縁に対しては 呪いを用いる、という話がある
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7I wonder if his devoted wife knew?
We'll leave that mystery tantalizingly unsolved.
果たしてあの妻はそれを知っていたのか。 まあ、謎は謎のままで置いておくとしよう
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7As for the woman herself...彼女のその後だが…
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7I hear she's been getting along well with the vengeful
fellow we met previously at the stone lantern.
清水寺の石灯篭にいた男と近頃懇ろの様子
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7Whether that's good karma or bad...
I suppose only Yashajin would know.
果たしてこれは良縁か悪縁か…。 夜叉神のみぞ知る、といったところだな
A Wife's Prayer, scene 7You did well, Musashi.ご苦労だったな、武蔵
Something in the Water, scene 1Otowa Waterfall, she said? The water that flows
there is sacred, and said to bring good fortune.
音羽の滝か…。 流れる霊水は、様々なご利益があると言われているが…
Something in the Water, scene 1Quite. We should investigate at once.然り。急ぎ調べた方がよさそうだな
Something in the Water, scene 4Truly mysterious. Maintaining the purity of this temple,
and naturally the waterfall as well, is Yashajin's duty.
いやはや面妖。 清水寺…とりわけ音羽の滝を清浄に保つのは、夜叉神の役目
Something in the Water, scene 4I wonder if something has befallen Yashajin's Hall.この先にある夜叉神堂で、何かあったのかもしれん
Something in the Water, scene 5This would certainly inhibit Yashajin's work.
Hence the impurity of the sacred water.
これでは夜叉神も身動きがとれぬ。 霊水も穢れるわけだな
Something in the Water, scene 5It shall. And drinking the restored water should in
turn restore that man. It's not yet too late for him.
うむ。清められた霊水を飲めば、あの男も助かるであろう。 今ならばまだ間に合う
Something in the Water, scene 6Well...the Hall has been unsealed, but...ふぅむ。夜叉神は解放されているが…
Something in the Water, scene 10Musashi's valiant efforts protected Otowa's Sacred Water.武蔵の奮戦もあって、音羽の滝の霊水は守られた
Something in the Water, scene 10As if in thanks for that good karma, Yashajin joined
the fates of three wounded souls into a new family.
その礼か、夜叉神は心に傷を抱えた者たちを 家族として結びつける良縁を授けたようだ
Something in the Water, scene 10A sublimely intertwined series of events.
And, a story worthy of my collection.
まことに奇しき巡り合わせ… これもまた、いとあはれなり
Something in the Water, scene 10Until next time!また会おう
The Faceless, scene 1I have heard that a Genma once posed as
a god here to steal people's body parts.
以前ここを乗っ取っていた幻魔が、 縁切りと称して人の体を奪っていたそうだが…
The Faceless, scene 2I suspected as much. How dull.こんなことだろうと思ったわ…。 つまらぬ
The Faceless, scene 3The truth behind the Faceless was
a Genma with a squashed face.
のっぺらぼうの正体は、顔が潰れた幻魔だったと…
The Faceless, scene 3Positively tedious. Why are good stories so hard to find?やれやれ…あはれな話にはなかなか出会えぬものだな
The Faceless, scene 5I wonder.
That man, until then unnoticed...
はてさて。 あのときは気が付かなかった、あの男の顔…
The Faceless, scene 5Could he have been the rumored Faceless? Or perhaps...?まことに妖怪のっぺらぼうか。 それとも…?
The Faceless, scene 5In any case, that spine tingling
twist rather improved this story.
ともあれ、最後の最後でいとあはれな体験ができた
The Faceless, scene 5I've also heard the young house owner and the
lady who gave us this request are soon to be wed.
そういえば、屋敷の主である青年と金比羅宮の娘…。 近々夫婦になるそうだ
The Faceless, scene 5Apparently he had met her after she became close with his
father, and fell completely in love with her gentle soul.
青年の方が父親を通じてあの娘を知り、 その心の清らかさにすっかり惚れてしまったらしく…
The Faceless, scene 5He built the house planning to invite the lady
and his father to live with him together.
屋敷は、父と、あの娘を招いて 共に住むため建てたものだったそうだ
The Faceless, scene 5Surely this was the famed fate-binding
power of Yasui Konpiragu Shrine at work.
Faceless or no, it is a deserving tale.
安井金比羅宮の縁結び、ここに成就というわけだな。 これもまた、いとあはれなり
The Faceless, scene 5What a curious world...現世は面白い…
The Blessed Man, scene 1That man is surrounded by some
bizarre Malice. How very peculiar.
あの男、異質な瘴気をまとっていたぞ。 何者かな…?
The Blessed Man, scene 6Nothing mystical. Some manner of Genma
was feeding on his heart from the inside.
何のことはない。 あの男は心の臓を幻魔に蝕まれていたのだ
The Blessed Man, scene 6That's what rendered him so untouchable,
and the Genma that rushed to his defense were
only protecting their comrade inside him.
ゆえに人の手では斬れぬ体になり、 幻魔には仲間と認識され襲われることもなかった
