Dialogue

Hopeless Castle Town

Dialogue TL by Petite Soeur - Source Fudou: Hold there strangers. Anna: !? W-who are you...? Fudou: This humble priest is merely a Shugenja. Our encounter here is but a coincidence. Fudou: However, a chance acquaintance is a divine ordinance. So I thought I would impart some advice. Fudou: It would be wise for you to not venture to the castle town up ahead... 'tis a painting from a scene of hell. Anna: Ehh? Are you talking about the capital that we can see over there? Speaking of which... are you from that city? What is currently happening around this region!? Fudou: Such bears no relation to this humble priest... Fudou: Though I possess the art to save the living, I can do naught for the dead. Anna: Ah... he's gone. He's a curious one, isn't he? Kaguya: The Yamabushi? They're what you would call a kind of hermit, so they don't typically involve themselves with those of us of the mundane world. Kaguya: However, hell... that's hardly a mild way to put it, is it? So the castle town has also fallen into the monsters' hands... Anna: In that case, we must go save them! Right, Prince? Anna: Well then, let's enter that capital. As fearsome a hell as it may be... (Mid-battle) Anna: Wh... What!? This!! Anna: People are being controlled? No, but why do they look like that? Kazuha: Seyahh! ... Hahh. Living people...? Kaguya: !! You're... unharmed? An archer? Kazuha: Yes, that is correct. I assume you're travelers? What possessed you to visit this city!? Kazuha: This city has already turned into a base for the walking dead. Kazuha: I, Kazuha, survived to the very end; I'm of the lineage of Hama, and so I will fight... Anna: Dead!? Th-then, they're all...!? Kazuha: They already lost their lives, and only exist to be controlled. Kazuha: It's possible to release them from their torment by piercing their hearts that keep their dead bodies moving. Anna: No way! B-but... If they're being controlled, then there should be some way to save them, right? Anna: Aegis-sama! Aegis: While regrettable, that doesn't seem possible. Anna: ...! Even with Aegis-sama's power? Aegis: Their flesh is already in ruin. There's only one thing that can be done. That is to put their souls to rest... Kaguya: As sad as that sounds, we have no choice but to fight. Prince! (Clear) Fallen Warrior: Not yet, not... yet...! Fallen Warrior: Still, not dead... The princess, in the castle... Kaguya: !? You're, don't tell me! Kaguya: Even though your body is being controlled... As you did when you were alive, your dead selves were trying to do your utmost for your master? Hikage: Aah, so there is such a thing. That's an admirable samurai that would make our country proud! Hikage: However, is the princess he speaks of... in this capital? Kazuha: Surely he was speaking of the Samurai Princess Shizuka. Kazuha: I, Kazuha, don't serve the castle, so I never had an audience with her, but... Kazuha: She sits as a princess despite her body being that of a samurai, she's the first of her kind in this country. Kaguya: Ehh? Shizuka? In this capital!? I see, this is the eastern capital!! Anna: Kaguya-sama? You know her? That Samurai Princess? Kaguya: Umu, I know her quite well! She often came to visit the western capital, she's one of the few people I call my friend! Kaguya: Is something happening to Shizuka's body? ... We must go save her!! Hikage: Please wait, Kaguya-sama! Hikage: I understand your feelings. However, I just noticed something. This is the pillbox we discovered at the pond... Anna: Ahh. So you've been keeping hold of it, Hikage-san? Huh? What are these thin carvings? Kaguya: This is a family crest!? Hikage: Right. If you look carefully, a family crest was carved into it. This is the crest of the shogunate family of Shizuka-sama! Anna: Eh, ehhh? Wh-what does that mean? Hikage: I don't know for certain. However, there's no doubt the poisoning of that pond is somehow related to someone in the shogunate family... Hikage: Please be careful, Hime-sama!
