starlady: Hana of Gate 7 (hanamachi of kyoto)
[personal profile] starlady
Zuibun hisashiburi nan da ne! Yeah, I fell off the wagon with this one because grad school was just too much work. But, the chapters are shorter, I'm less busy, and I'm working with [tumblr.com profile] urashichiken as a translator. This translation doesn't have sound FX, so you'll have to check the scanlation for those (not done by me! which is good because the SFX take freaking forever). I'm also following along with the printed manga, and I'm updating the Gate 7 map of Kyoto as things continue.

Chapter 17: Notice of Betrayal

Sakura: You're really flailing around, huh,
Hana.

Hana: Yup.

Sakura: Is something the matter,
Chika-chan?

Chikahito: Um--

You really can handle your liquor!

You've trained yourself well.

Sakura: Well, to about eight-tenths of my stomach capacity. Gradually.

Chikahito: Drinking shôchû and wine and four bottles of whiskey is eight-tenths!?

Sakura: Hahaha--
Generally, Hana can do about the same, I think.
Since Hana eats enough to completely fill the inside of that small body with noodles.
-----------
!!! page 03
Chikahito: Hana-san?

Sakura: Someone has enclosed an area nearby.
-----------
!!! page 04
Chikahito: Is--is someone fighting again?

Sakura: It'd be fine if they were just fighting, but
This sort of thing has to be someone of unusual power.

Chikahito: Wh--where are they?

Hana: That way.
-----------
!!! page 05
Tachibana: …It's the kindergarten that employs Sanada Yukimura.

Sasuke?: Another splendid box we're in.
-----------
!!! page 06
Sasuke?: Isn't this the feeling that can be linked to the Urashichiken's left pillar?

Saizô?: …

Yukimura: Saizô has been adhering to the discipline every day.

Even if he's still not his match, I'll definitely have him try to overcome the left pillar.

Saizô: Yukimura-sama…!

I, Saizô,
Will temper my abilities again and again,

So that I may without fail come to your aid, Yukimura-sama…!

Sasuke: Right, right.
Can we leave out the usual speeches right now?
-----------
!!! page 07
Sasuke: Since he's going to leave out his greetings to Yukimura-sama, too.

Yukimura: "It's been a while."
Or,

I wish I could say that.
-----------
!!! page 08-09
Yukimura: Ishida Mitsunari-dono,

Shima Sakon-dono.
-----------
!!! page 10
Mitsunari: …It certainly has been a while,
In this century,

Lord Sanada Yukimura.

Sakon.
-----------
!!! page 11
Yukimura: That uniform…

Nishijin Private High School,
Isn't it.

Mitsunari: How…
No, that high school is close to here.
Of course you would know.

Or perhaps you were previously searching around for the Jûyûshi?

I'd heard that you came to Kyoto in response to Lord Hidetsugu's request.

Am I mistaken?

Yukimura: No.
-----------
!!! page 12
Yukimura: We Sanada

Have decided to fight for the Toyotomi's honorable cause this time, too.

MItsunari: …Even knowing that it's a lost cause?

Yukimura: There is no battle whose outcome is decided before it begins.
-----------
!!! page 13
Yukimura: That's what we believed
Back then, at Osaka--

That we could win.

Mitsunari: …I see.

You were…that kind of person.
-----------
!!! page 14-15
Mitsunari: I came here because I thought that I had to tell you, who fought

In the battle at Osaka, until the last, in the west, without betrayal--

In this battle,
I, Ishida Mitsunari,

Will side with the Tokugawa.
-----------
!!! page 16
Yukimura: …Ishida-dono.

Sasuke: Geez!
We Jûyûshi finally cross that fine dangerous bridge, and Ishida only came to tell us that he's siding with the Tokugawa.

The man himself came to give the report--

Saizô: If he was treating Yukimura-sama as a subordinate just now,
He'll not be forgiven!

Yukimura: No,
Ishida-dono isn't that kind of person.
-----------
!!! page 17
Yukimura: He certainly did have a fastidious mind for justice.

Sasuke: He was like Yukimura-sama in that.

Contrary to expectations, if you look at it from the standpoint of popularity, that was that…

Yukimura: No matter how you consider it, it's certain that he thought of Lord Toyotomi's cause until the last.

Saizô: Then,
Why is he with the Tokugawa?
-----------
!!! page 18
Yukimura: I don't know.
But, we'll find out at some point.

If we fight.
-----------
!!! page 19
Sasuke: Well then.
We've taken down the information about Ishida Mitsunari and Shima Sakon, but we'll thoroughly investigate the others in the Tokugawa army.

Yukimura: Listen.

Before that--

Shoes are forbidden inside the kindergarten.
Because I mop it myself!

Saizô: My humblest apologies, Yukimura-sama!
-----------
!!! page 20-21
Yukimura: And then you can clean the high windows the teachers' hands don't reach!

Saizô: Sir!

Sasuke: Yukimura-sama is so strict~

Yukimura: …Don't be anxious,
Engetsu.

Next time, we'll
Definitely win.

Sakura: …It vanished.

Chikahito: Huh?
Already!?

Sakura: The enclosure wasn't something hidden in a fog.

Tachibana: …It's Ishida.
-----------
!!! page 22
Tachibana: Ishida Mitsunari.

Sakura: Does that mean he was with Shima Sakon?

Tachibana: Yes.
But both of them left immediately.

Sakura: With this short a rendezvous, they couldn't have exchanged a single blow.
Why did they come?

Chikahito: Ishida Mitsunari? That Ishida Mitsunari?!

Tachibana: I don't know.
If it's necessary, the Sanada will side with Hidetsugu, won't they?

Sakura: If it's necessary to win the battle,
Yes.

Tachibana: That's the Sanada blood.
-----------
!!! page 23
Sakura: If the Sanada side with them this time too, the Toyotomi will be happy.

Hana: Sakura, you did well!

Sakura: Thanks,
Hana.

Chikahito: ……

Tachibana: What are you confused about?
Today's report?

Chikahito: Huh!?

Tachibana: Today's report--let's hear it.
-----------
!!! page 24
Chiakahito: Well, Sakura-san and Masamune-san, about Garasha-san…

Tachibana: No.

Chikahito: Huh?
Huh?

Tachibana: Today was your first day of school, right?
Let's hear that report.

Chikahito: But…
Why…

Tachibana: Call it the course of events, but you're a housemate.
Whether you school life is happening neatly, whether you have any problems--it's natural that I'd want to be certain.

Are you dissatisfied?

Chikahito: I'm happy!!
-----------
!!! page 25
Hana: Everyone's the same.

Chikahito: …Right!

Sakura: if that's so, then how about your coat, Chika-chan?

Chikahito: Ah!
I left it at Garasha-san's!

Tachibana: Do you intend to attend school without even a coat, when you'e just transferred?!

Chikahito: So--sorry.

Sakura: You've gotten him mad, huh, Chika-chan.

Tachibana: Sakura! You too! What's with the cat?

Hana: Hana brought the cat.

Tachibana: Then it's fine.

Sakura, you and the freeloader sit seiza in the living room.

Sakura: Ah hahahaha--

Chikahito: Okay--!!

Hana: Hana will too!

Cat: Meow!



TN: I think I've said this before, but I'm not going to bother trying to translate '-dono' anymore, since I already don't bother with '-san' and '-sama.' Since some characters have actual court ranks, it's just too confusing otherwise.
