The Oni's Apprentice, monologue 1 lines

MusashiI was hoping you'd say we'd have time for a break...やれやれ。忙しくなりそうだな…

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 1 4 lines

MusashiI already know how to use these things.
That's how we got to Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
そいつの使い方ならもう聞いたぞ。 清水寺まで移動するのに使った
ShizukaIt has other uses. Have it resonate with the Genma souls you've
absorbed, and it can draw out even more of the gauntlet's power.
それ以外にも、鬼の篭手に吸収された幻魔の魂と 共鳴させることで、力を引き出すことができます
Musashi"Resonate"?…よく分からねぇ
ShizukaSeeing is knowing, Musashi.
First, just try touching the Spirit Mirror.
百聞は一見に如かずと申します。 まずは破魔鏡に触れてくださいませ

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 2 8 lines

ShizukaThe Genma souls have further awakened the gauntlet,
and your strength is increased. How does it feel?
篭手が幻魔の魂で目覚め、貴方に力を与えました。 …いかがですか?
MusashiFeels like...I'm getting less human by the minute.
But if it's just until this thing comes off, I can put up with it.
…また一歩、自分が人間から遠ざかったのを感じた。 まあ、外れるまでの辛抱だと腹をくくるしかねぇか
TakamuraLike it or not, if you want to get rid of that gauntlet,
you'll have to kill Genma. And if you want to kill
Genma, the most efficient way is to master the gauntlet.
どうあがいたとて、お主と篭手は外れるまで一蓮托生。 ならば鬼の力を活かして幻魔を斬りまくる方が効率がよい
TakamuraWho better to learn from than yours truly?武蔵よ。儂がひとつ稽古をつけてやろう
MusashiYou...?あんたが…?
TakamuraMe. Who else could teach you to fight with Oni powers?
When you're ready, ring the bell in the temple grounds.
左様。鬼の力の使い方を教えてやる。 準備ができたら境内にある鐘を鳴らせ。引いて鳴らすやつだ
MusashiRing the bell...and then what?
It's not going to suck me in like that damn well is it?
鳴らしたら…どうなるんだ。 また井戸のときみたいに吸い込まれんじゃねぇだろうな
TakamuraNo...but close enough, I suppose.
It won't kill you, in any case. Relax.
あたらずといえども遠からず…だな。 まあ死にはせんから、安心せい

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 3 7 lines

MusashiTakamura... Is it all right for you
to leave the temple like this?
篁…。寺を離れていいのかよ
TakamuraIt's fine. Time doesn't pass in the
living world while we're in here.
ここにいる間、現世の時は止まっておる。心配無用だ
MusashiIs anything in this temple normal?
Forget it... What are we doing here?
不思議なモンばかりだな、この寺は…。 …で、ここで何しようってんだ?
TakamuraHere I teach you how to use the power of
the Oni to fight Genma—and you learn.
鬼の力や、幻魔との戦い方について指南しようと思ってな
TakamuraI've even got some rewards for you when you
succeed. A student needs motivation, hmm?
儂が用意した課題を完遂できれば、褒美もあるぞ。どうだ?
Musashi(息遣い)
MusashiCan't say no to that. Let's get started!楽しめそうだな。さっそく始めてくれよ

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 4 2 lines

TakamuraIf you want to learn more about
fighting, you know the place.
戦い方を学びたいときは、またここに来い
TakamuraAlso, this is for you.それと、これをお主に渡しておこう

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 5 5 lines

MusashiWhat is this?これは…?
TakamuraA weapon created by the Oni.
It's not your first time seeing one.
鬼の一族が残した武器だ。すでに一つ持っておるだろう
MusashiThe thing I found at Kiyomizu-dera?清水寺で見つけたやつか
TakamuraYes. And there should be other Oni weapons
scattered around Kyoto as well.
そうだ。他にも京のどこかに、 まだ手付かずの鬼の武器があるはずだ
TakamuraIf you're already running about killing Genma, why not
search for them? You can never have too many weapons.
幻魔を倒す道中で探してみるがよい。必ずや役に立つ

The Oni's Apprentice, scene 6 2 lines

MusashiSo, where to next?…で、次はどこへ行けばいい
ShizukaI sense an unusual Genma presence in
the nearby area. Let us hunt it out.
近辺に並ならぬ幻魔の気配を感じます。確認してみましょう
