MusashiThoughts?―どう思う
ShizukaI must say, I cannot make any sense of this...わたくしに聞かれましても、困ります…
ShizukaWe have to put a stop to this.
I can't bear to see any more.
―早く止めなければ…。これ以上は見ていられませぬ
ShizukaIf we could make contact with Yorimasa's
soul, that would be a great help. He should
be enshrined somewhere in this area...
頼政殿の魂と接触できれば、解決の糸口が見えるかもしれません。 このすぐ近くに祀られていたはずですが…
MusashiThis better not take much longer.
I'm starting to lose my mind as well...
一刻も早くここを浄化しねぇとな…。 俺までおかしくなっちまいそうだ
MusashiIt won't budge.開かねぇな
ShizukaPerhaps we can find another way in?他の場所からは入れないでしょうか…?
MusashiThey just keep coming!ったく、次から次へと…!
First Stout PillarHello! Over here! Can you see me!?おーい、こっちぞよ。見えとるかのう?
First Stout PillarI do hope you find me soon! Here, over here!早く見つけてほしいのう。ここじゃ、ここじゃ
First Stout PillarWhat crushing loneliness...
How I miss my dear, dear brothers.
ああ、寂しい…。早く兄弟のところに戻りたいのう
First Stout PillarYou were closer before! Don't leave me here!離れとるぞ~。置いていかんでくれ~

Calm WomanHello sir. I can tell you're bound
to a fate you'd sooner be rid of.
御仁。『縁切り』を強く望んでおられますね
Musashi...Excuse me?…縁切り?
Calm WomanYou rage against that which blocks your path.
I don't need sight to see that it's the armor
on your right hand that vexes you, either.
見えずともわかります。道を阻むものと訣別したい、と―。 右手の装具に、その念が注がれている…
Musashi...Right.…ふん
Calm WomanYasui Konpiragu Shrine up ahead can solve
your problem. I too would be bound still to a
terrible fate if not for its blessing.
縁切りをお望みならば、この先の安井金比羅宮へどうぞ。 わたくしも、苦悩の元と縁が切れました
MusashiIts...blessing?苦悩の元?
Calm WomanSurely you can tell?ご覧の通りです
Calm WomanI couldn't help but compare my looks to everyone
I saw, and it distressed me so. But I suffer no longer!
自身の容貌を人と見比べては思い悩む日々でしたが…。 これで解放されました
MusashiYou...can't be serious...お前…何を言ってんだ…
ShizukaMusashi. This shrine is said to grant the binding
and severing of fates to its pilgrims, but...
―武蔵殿。この金比羅宮は、縁切りや縁結びを 成就させるとして名高い神域ですが…
MusashiBut the Malice has messed it up. It sounds like if I asked
it to take the gauntlet off, it'd take my arm as well.
瘴気で狂い始めてるな。 俺が篭手との訣別を願えば、腕ごと落とされそうだ
ShizukaWould that suit you?それを望まれますか?

Cheerful Old-TimerOh dear, that frown won't do—is something troubling you, boy?おやおや、難しい顔をしておいでじゃ。何か悩み事かの?
MusashiNothing that could dampen your mood, I'd bet...―爺さんは、晴れ晴れとして見えるな
Cheerful Old-TimerTen years I suffered from the pain in my knee.
The curse has been lifted!
うむ。膝の痛みから十数年ぶりに解放されたでのう
Musashi...You got your wish, then.…願いが叶ったのか
Cheerful Old-TimerRight you are! I prayed to be severed from that fate. And look!いかにも。痛みと縁が切れるようにお祈りしたら…ほれ!
Cheerful Old-TimerSuch a wise god.
"No knee, no pain," he says—and so it was!
『脚がなくなれば痛みもなくなる』と、 丸ごと取ってくださったんじゃ!
MusashiAnd nothing...bothers you about that?…それで、満足か
Cheerful Old-TimerPerish the thought!無論!

Musashi"Yorimasa"...ring any bells?頼政…。こいつは、何だ?
ShizukaHe was an Oni. He was known as a hero for his deeds in
the mortal realm, but he eventually met his end in battle.
鬼の一族です。現世に降り立ち勇名を轟かせましたが、 戦の末に討死を―
ShizukaWere his soul here I would've begged his aid, but...魂がここに在れば助力を請えましたが…
Musashi...Well, we did come unannounced.…いねぇのか
ShizukaWe've no other options, then. Let us call upon the Eight Stout Pillars.こうなれば武蔵殿。八大力尊を頼りましょう
ShizukaThey're a group of eight statues imbued with formidable strength.
They should be somewhere within this shrine.
強大な力を持つ八体の御尊像です。 この宮のどこかにおられるはず…

Careful What You Wish For, scene 4 9 lines

Second Stout PillarGreetings, Oni warrior.来たか、鬼の武人
Fourth Stout PillarWe are known as the Eight Stout Pillars!俺たちこそが、八大力尊だ!
MusashiThat's an odd name for a group of five. Where's the rest of you?…いや、あのよ。数が少なくねぇか? 五大力尊になってんぞ
Fifth Stout PillarIt's that Genma's fault, the one who's taken over this shrine.この宮を乗っ取った幻魔の仕業なんだ…
Sixth Stout PillarHe tricked humans with Malice, and had them take our brothers!
They made off with our eldest, third, and seventh kin.
瘴気で人を操り、 我らが兄弟の長男! 三男! 七男を持ち去らせたのだ!
ShizukaIf we bring your brothers back, will you lend us your power?ご兄弟をお連れすれば、お力添えをいただけますか
Eighth Stout PillarObviously! You have our word.言うまでもねぇ。約束してやるよ
MusashiAny idea where the Three Stout Pillars have been taken, then?…で、三大力尊はどこだ?
ShizukaI can feel their presence; they're not far from here.
I shall guide you.
離れてはいますが、気配を感じます。参りましょう

MusashiSomething about these dolls feels...ominous.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
なんというか…念を感じる人形だな。まあ、気のせいか
ShizukaYour instincts are correct, Musashi.気のせいではありませぬ、武蔵殿
ShizukaThere are souls trapped inside these dolls.
Those of a man and woman who wish to be together forever.
この人形には魂が閉じ込められています。 ずっと、共にありたいと願った男女の魂が…
MusashiEven if it costs them their entire bodies...?
Are you two really all right with this?
体を捨てりゃ、ずっと一緒か…。 それでよかったのかよ、アンタらは

First Stout PillarMy brothers! Long were the days we spent apart.
You have my thanks, Miyamoto Musashi.
おお、兄弟よ。晴れて再び集えたのう。礼を言うぞ、宮本武蔵
MusashiI'll sort the rest of this place out as well.
Give me your power.
さっさとここを元に戻すぞ。力を貸せ
Third Stout PillarWe're as good as our word.
Our power is yours.
もちろんさ。約束だからね
Seventh Stout PillarWe've condensed the Malice in the area into a dark mass.周囲の瘴気を練り上げて黒魂を出現させました
Eighth Stout PillarWith that, you should be able to glean where that
Genma is, and what it's planning.
黒魂から、幻魔の企みや居場所がわかるはずだ
Musashi...I was hoping for something a bit more destructive.…もうちょっと何か欲しかったけどな
ShizukaManners, Musashi.武蔵殿
First Stout PillarIt's all we can muster for now. Purify this place,
however, and all our strength will be yours to wield.
今はそれで許せ。しかし、浄化が成った暁には、 我ら八大力尊の大いなる力を授ける
Second Stout PillarBlessings upon you. And don't let the Malice swallow you up.ゆくがよい。くれぐれも、幻魔の瘴気に飲まれるでないぞ

Calm WomanSo that monster was playing us all for
fools. Being bewitched is no excuse,
what a stupid thing I've done to myself.
―そうだったのですね。 惑わされていたとは言え、取り返しのつかぬ愚かな真似を…
MusashiWhat will you do now?これからどうする?
Calm WomanThe priests at the shrine here are so kind, they've
said they'll find work for all the monster's victims.
こちらの神職の方が、バケモノの被害に遭ったわたくしたちを 雇ってくださいました
Calm WomanApparently, I'm to be trained as a shrine maiden.わたくしは、巫女になるためのお勉強をさせていただくことに―
ShizukaIt seems you've been bound to a fine fate after all.それは、良いご縁と結ばれましたね
Calm WomanOh my! Your wife was with you here all this time,
Master Samurai? How rude of me to not notice!
まあ…! 奥方様もご一緒でしたか。そうとは知らずにご無礼を…
MusashiUh, no, she's not.違う
Calm WomanOh? Not...huh?? 違う…とは…?
ShizukaWe'll come visit again once you've mastered
your new trade. I'll explain then.
…巫女になられた暁に、また伺いますね。 その時に教えて差し上げます
Calm WomanI do love a mystery.
I shall put my all into it!
…ふふ、楽しみが増えました。精進いたします

Careful What You Wish For, scene 8 2 lines

Calm WomanI cast away my vision, so that I'd never be tempted
to compare my looks to others' again.
目を捨て去ることで、自身と人を見比べて 思い悩む日々から解放されました…
Calm WomanMy world has become dark, but my heart burns brighter for it.
It's all thanks to the blessings of Yasui Konpiragu Shrine!
視界こそ真っ暗になりましたが、わたくしの心は幸せの光に 満ちあふれております。すべては安井金比羅宮のおかげです…

Cheerful Old-TimerOnly a genius would think of throwing away a leg to cure knee pain!
Hm, my back aches too, of late...but I know just the cure!
足が痛むなら丸ごと切ればよいなど、凡人には思いもつかぬ! ちと腰も痛むゆえ、これも切り取ってもらおうかのう!

Second Stout PillarPlease, bring our stolen brothers back to us. In return, the
might of the Eight Stout Pillars shall be yours to wield!
持ち去られてしまった我らの兄弟を連れてきてもらいたい…。 さすればお主に、我ら八大力尊の力を貸そう

First Stout PillarOnce the purification is complete, our power
will be as yours. Rid us of the Genma that
defiled this shrine. You're our only hope.
浄化が成った暁には、我ら八大力尊の力を授けよう。 この宮を乗っ取った幻魔の成敗…お主に託すぞ

Calm WomanI lost my eyes to my own weakness and stupidity. I'll devote
myself to this shrine, so that I'll never be bewitched again!
この目を失ったのは、わたくしが弱く、愚かだったからです。 二度と惑わされぬよう、この宮で精進いたします
