After clearing

What Lurks in the Shadows, monologue 99 lines

MusashiI didn't know about her missing friend.あいつ、ツレが行方知れずだったのか
ShizukaShe had mentioned to me that she was looking for
someone named Hinagiku. I pray they can be reunited.
前に『雛菊』という友人を探していると…。 見つかればよいのですが
MusashiI don't like how quiet it is.やけに静かだな…
MusashiThis place is a mess... Let's look around.荒らされたあとだな。他を当たるか
ShizukaWe should search for more information. As we
learned at Yasui Konpiragu Shrine—fighting without
knowledge of your enemies could prove disastrous.
ここを調べて敵の手がかりを得ませんか? 無闇に戦っては、安井金比羅宮と同様に不意をつかれかねませぬ
MusashiYeah, I know.…わかったよ
MusashiThere was a hell of a fight here.派手にやり合ったみてぇだな
ShizukaIf we work our way around the pond,
I believe we should arrive at the tree.
池を回り込めば、木の場所まで辿り着けそうです
ShizukaIt appears our quarry is the Nue.やはりこれは…鵺
MusashiThe...Nue?鵺?
ShizukaA Genma composed of parts from other creatures.様々な生物が組み合わさった幻魔です
ShizukaBut...Yorimasa destroyed it, long ago.頼政殿が討ち滅ぼしたはずですが…

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 1 12 lines

MusashiOkuni. I heard you can get me into Nijo-jo Castle.
I need to be in there. Right now.
阿国。俺を二条城に入れてくれ。 お前ならできると聞いた。今すぐだ
Okuni...Huh?……はぁ?
ShizukaMusashi! Perhaps I should do the talking.武蔵殿…! わたくしから話します
Shizuka...That is our predicament.
Takamura is...not well-liked by the army's soldiers.
……というわけです。篁殿は武士たちと犬猿の仲ゆえ…
ShizukaMusashi and I were hoping to leverage
your popularity with them instead, Okuni.
ここは、武将の間でも高名な阿国に力を借りたいと思い…
MusashiAre you famous or something?お前、有名人なのか?
OkuniI told you. If you'd learned anything at all about
Kyoto since getting here, you'd already know.
うるさいな。 少しでも京について調べたらすぐに分かる話だ
OkuniPut down your silly little sword
and pick up a book for once!
馬鹿みたいに剣ばっか振ってないで勉強しろ
MusashiSay that again.何を…?
ShizukaPlease, you two.こら、二人とも
OkuniAnyway. I've danced at Nijo-jo a bunch of times.
I can get you in easily. Leave it to me.
まあ、話は分かったよ。 二条城なら何度か舞ったこともあるし…おやすい御用だ
OkuniC'mon, if we're going, let's go.ほら、さっさと行くよ

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 2 2 lines

ShizukaThese appear to be drag marks...引きずられたような跡が…
MusashiWhatever happened here, it wasn't gentle.物騒になってきやがった

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 3 2 lines

MusashiThis must have just happened.こうなって間もないな
ShizukaIt would have taken considerable force to move.相当な衝撃が加わったようですね

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 4 2 lines

MusashiWhy is there just one tree on fire?なんであそこだけ燃えてんだ
ShizukaWas it struck by lightning, perhaps?落雷でしょうか。もう少し調べてみましょう

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 5 3 lines

MusashiThese scratch marks... Something's off about them.ずいぶんザックリいってるな。この爪痕…何かおかしくねぇか
ShizukaThey look as though they were made in one swipe,
but each mark is from a different creature.
Some of them beast, some...human.
ひと掻きで、複数の獣の爪痕がついています。 獣のみならず、人のものも…
ShizukaTry looking with your Oni Vision.鬼の目で調べてみましょう

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 6 2 lines

MusashiMore claw marks.ここにも爪痕が…
ShizukaThey continue all the way to the other side.向こう側に続いているようです

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 7 5 lines

ButterflyMusashi, can you hear me?武蔵よ。聞こえるか
MusashiMurasaki...? Why are you a butterfly?
Can't you talk to me like a normal person?
お前…紫式部か。なんで蝶なんだよ。来て喋れ
Lady Murasaki (Butterfly)Not 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
Lady Murasaki (Butterfly)More 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
MusashiPain in the arse...…面倒くせぇ

What Lurks in the Shadows, scene 8 15 lines

Lady MurasakiHmm...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
MusashiI'm not letting this be the end of it. I'll give
the bastards behind it what's coming to them.
腹の虫がちっとも治まらねぇよ。あいつら必ず、ぶった斬ってやる
Lady MurasakiMusashi. 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
Lady MurasakiIn 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
MusashiI wasn't looking for a job.いきなり何だよ
Lady MurasakiLately, 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
Lady MurasakiUsually, 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…
ShizukaThen, your request is that we
help any Lion Dogs we happen upon?
狛犬を見つけたら、お助けすればよろしいのですね?
Lady MurasakiAnd one more thing.それともう一つ
Lady MurasakiKyoto 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…
Lady MurasakiThere 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
Lady MurasakiYou 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
