Brought to you by Studio Childhood ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note : Although this translator had made the effort to keep the translation accurate, this should not be considered a completely literal translation. The place of greatest difficulty was the humorous portions. While most of it are translated literally, some of it HAD to be edited to keep the translation in sync with the mood, or to avoid having the lines sound too unnatural in English. Apologies for any inconveniences this may cause, and if you have any better suggestions, feel free to e-mail your suggestions to Also, some of the titles were left untranslated in the script itself. Translations for those terms can be found below. Text surrounded in [ ] represents thought bubbles or whatever lines that seems to be spoken in one's mind. Text surrounded in :: :: represents description of an action taking place to either help the flow of the translation better, or to avoid being too redundant (For example : ::Horn coughs violently:: instead of *Cough* *Cough Cough* - This is not used very often) Text surrounded in < > is sound effect. * besides the characters' names (Example : Olin*) indicates the lines of the characters in the flashback/fantasy sequence. Most of the laughing sounds are presented as it appears in Japanese. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Untranslated terms list : Daimaou - "The Great Demon-king" Mazoku - "Race of demons" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================== --- Front cover fold ------------------------------------------------- <<"The picture of myself and Editor Mr. M. Moto.">> Watanabe Michiaki The collected volume came to be 20 now. I feel somewhat of sentimation of "Ah, has it been that long already" along with thoughts like "Wow. I really drew a lot". However, if you compare this to Marathon, I think I am at the point where I've just made it around the check point and is heading towards the finish. Thank you everyone, and I hope to keep it up. --- Intro page (Page 3) ------------------------------------------------ "This work is dedicated to great composer Yamada Gosaku."

The one to lose their life... It can't be... It can't be... ::Starts coughing violently and coughs up blood:: Percus : Lady Horn! --- Page 10 ------------------------------------------------------------ Horn : Flute... --- Page 11 ------------------------------------------------------------ Guitar : That's right...!! The "Soul" of a Holy One... In other words, the Ruby will consume Princess Flute's "Soul"...!! --- Page 13 ------------------------------------------------------------ Guitar : Yes... "Treasured Sword", "Ruby", "A Holy Soul". When these three elements are collected... --- Page 14 ------------------------------------------------------------ Guitar : The Daimaou Chestra will be revived... --- Page 16 ------------------------------------------------------------ Vocal : Is that so... That old man's finally coming out, eh? That geezer, huh... Orgel : Lord...Vo...Vocal...? [What are you...?] Vocal : So all that's left is the "Ruby", right? Flute : Eep! Vocal : The "Ruby"'s location is... --- Page 17 ------------------------------------------------------------ Vocal : Dal Segno, Right? The location of the "Ruby"--! --- Page 19 ------------------------------------------------------------ Vocal : (Voice coming through the crystal) HA HA HA HA--!! Horn : Contact... The hero Hamel... Aah... F...Finally... Percus : Lady Horn... Horn : Chestra will... The world will... Percus : Lady Horn!! Horn : Because she's of Sforzando's bloodline... There was the danger of this happening... That's why... I wished that she would be kept out of this... *Cough* --- Page 20 ------------------------------------------------------------ Horn : [Flute...] *Cough cough* [Hamel...] *Cough* --- Page 21 ------------------------------------------------------------ Horn : [Flute is...] --- Page 22 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : Score... That would take us back to where we came from... We came in from the sea... and were heading for the "North" from the northwest... From Senzar Port... to Score... We did come a long way. Sforzando is here... --- Page 23 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : Flute followed Trom to "North"... So they'd be about here.. Raiel was left in this village... Sizer flew away to someplace... Hmmm... Now that I look at it... Score is... neighboring Dal Segno. Well, even so, they ARE ways apart... ::Stops:: --- Page 24 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : What are you thinking about right now? Hamel... Is it about Score...? Or... About everyone who's scattered everywhere...? Trom... Sizer... They must all have their reasons... After all, they are all still trying to work out their problems.. The things you did in the past... Maybe it became a destiny for Flute... --- Page 25 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : And... About Vocal... --- Page 26 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : He IS a frightening one... You must be concerned about what he is doing. And on top of that, the Mazoku... From what I heard in the last village we were at... They were behaving strangely as of late... Hamel : ::Makes a fist:: Oboe : ... --- Page 27 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : But don't worry too much about it. I'm sure something will turn up. It's like an everyday thing now... And I told you before, I know where they'll be returning... They'll be fine.. Sizer and Trom... Anyway, for now... Let's eat. Here! --- Page 28 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : You can't make a good journey with an empty stomach! Ha ha ha... [However... To think, that Hamel would be caring for his friends...] *Rustle* --- Page 33 ------------------------------------------------------------ Oboe : Wha... What was that.. Just now..?! This... Huge supernatural power...!? [On top of that, the movement just now was not of any normal person..] Mazoku!? Be careful.. Hamel. --- Page 34 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : Delicious! So delicious! This meat is so good---!! Hamel : A...a....ah... Y...y...yo...you... Olin : This soup as well, it's SO delicious!!!! Hamel : You're... The geezer Olin!! Olin : Delicious! So delicious! --- Page 35 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hamel : LISTEN to people when they are talking--!! Olin : Aaa~~~h. Give it back--- My meal---!! Save meeee~~~ I haven't had... a bite to eat in DAYS~~~ Heh heh heh... *Slurp slurp* Long time no see *drip drip* ::The pot is empty:: Oboe : Haven't changed a bit... Hamel : What the heck are you doing here? In the middle of the night and in a forest, no less. Olin : Fu fu fu... That's because of... --- Page 36 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : I guess you can call it my Passion for "science"... Oboe/Hamel : [Passion... for "science"...!?] Olin : My... Endless spirit of inquiry... and intellectual curiosity as an inventor have set me on this journey... --- Page 37 ------------------------------------------------------------ Note : "Loan Shark" actually consists of two parties : A cook and two loan sharks... Probably only chasing Olin in common interest, not because they are both partners. Olin : Travelling teaches me many things... Things I do not know... Ho ho ho. ??? : STOP-!! WHY YOU-!! Olin : Guh?! *!!* Oh NO!! Hide! Hamel : Huh? huh? Loan Shark : Woah-woah Yo, Brotha. Have you seen this old gramps with a white beard? --- Page 38 ------------------------------------------------------------ Loan Shark : The geezer is called "Olin"... Ya know 'im? Hamel : I, uh.. well... Loan Shark : The old bag ran away after eating in my shop-. He also borrowed money from us, then he bolted and won't come back to the village--. That little $#!+! I'll KILL HIM!! ::Cracks knuckles:: Where did he go? Olin : (sign) <> Hamel : H...He.. went.. that way... --- Page 39 ------------------------------------------------------------ Loan Shark : Raaah! I'LL KILL HIM WHEN HE'S CAUGHT!!! Olin : Thanks. I owe you one. Ha ha ha Hamel : I thought you said something about science?! Olin : Well... I didn't come all this way just to run away from loan sharks! Hamel : Then what WAS the reason? Olin : *Twinkle* I wanted to meet... "you". Hamel : M... Me? --- Page 40 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : I just couldn't forget the taste of that kiss... Hamel : AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Olin : Also, your lips had a taste of first love.. Like lemon. Hamel : WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Saying stuff like that with a face of a good hearted old man.. You wanna get chopped into shreds? Olin : Ha ha... It was just a joke... --- Page 41 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hamel : Anyway, even if you make an appearance now, it's not like anyone's going to remember you. Olin : Ah! That's right! I'll just insert a little narration for the good boys and girls who's forgotten about me... Hamel : Huh! Like they would want to know... I mean, you were even dropped out of the cast in the anime version. Olin : It was a brutal war between Humans and Mazoku... The Second Great War of Sforzando... Under Drum's command, the entire Dragon Troops were gathered in Sforzando, the Humanity's last defence line... --- Page 42 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : As a countermeasure, Sforzando's Sorcery Army Corps, with Hero Olin as their head, fought back and defended Sforzando against Mazoku's attack... Even forgetting dangers posed to themselves. Olin* : _I_ will be protecting Sforzando! ::The writing on his clothes reads "Olin" (Katakana), and the writing on the toilet says "Pandora's Toilet":: Hamel : Who the heck is THIS guy?! Oboe : It's a pretty "nasty" fight... Olin : ...and.. the battle was over... Olin* : Princess... ::The writing on his clothes are now written in Hiragana:: Hamel : As I was saying, Who IS this guy?! --- Page 43 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hamel* : *twinkle twinkle* Lord Olin... Olin : And then, the countless kisses of victory were exchanged with Princess Hamel... Hamel : ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! --- Page 44 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hamel : Just because I just listened to the story doing nothing, you think it's FINE to just cake the whole damn story with lies?! If anyone started reading from the middle, they'd think it was true!! And WHY the heck am _I_ the princess?!?! Olin : P...Please... let me...go... This... would be... murder... ::After Hamel lets go of him:: Ha ha ha... You haven't changed a bit. I love the way you express your feelings excessively. You're actually shy, aren't you? Hamel : DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T REMIND ME OF MY MORTIFYING PAST!!!! Olin : I... I'm sorry sir... Well, although I fooled around quite a bit, I did get to let people know about me. Oboe : Uh... Yeah... I guess so. Hamel : *sob sob* My first kiss... My second kiss.. --- Page 45 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : But... Well... It has been a long time since I have met all of you... But where are the others? I heard that you all got together and were carrying on with the journey. Hamel : ... --- Page 46 ------------------------------------------------------------ Olin : I've heard that the Mazoku were behaving strangely lately... I wonder... if "that" is involved in any way... Urk?! --- Page 47 ------------------------------------------------------------ All (?) : Clari!? --- Page 50 ------------------------------------------------------------ Vocal : HA HA HA-- Trom : Flute... [Dal Segno...] --- Page 51 ------------------------------------------------------------ Narrator : It was told in the old stories... When the Treasured Sword becomes one with the Ruby, there is nothing that the sword cannot cut through... That Ruby... Likes* souls... * Likes : As in how one "likes" certain kind of food.
