花人局/Hanamotase/Flower and Badger Game Translyrics!

I've really wanted to write lyrics for hanamotase for a while now, ever since I finished reading Tousaku (I'm sure anyone who's read it can understand why). I honestly think this is the saddest Yorushika song, and that's saying a lot when the entirety of Elma exists. Since I should be doing something else right now, I managed to write these in a couple hours. They're really messy, but I'm actually really proud of them this time. There's a lot of anaphora and epistrophe.

I keep it in my heart, the flower you gave me that day,

I was still in a daze as the dawn bore you away

I woke up in a room with you nowhere in sight

Feeling only your warmth as you left me behind

So last night I got drunk and forgot, and I think something happened, but I wouldn’t know

There’s just a feeling that’s left in my heart that my night hadn’t been quite so lonely

I’m hungover and can’t even think, so I might’ve imagined the feeling of warmth

And even if I don’t know in the end, well, I think that’s alright in its own way

In the sink, I see a toothbrush next to somebody’s cup, and a bottle of lotion

They don’t mean a thing, I don’t know them at all

The pillow smells like flowers from someone I knew

I kept it in my heart, the flower you gave me that day

Still I’m stuck in a daze as the dawn takes you away

I wake up in a room with you nowhere in sight

Feeling only your warmth as you left me behind

So last night I got drunk, and I think there was something important, but I can’t recall

Some kinda badger game sounds about right, but I don’t really care at the moment

My hangover is already gone, so I guess I can think but I’m not really sure

And being honest, I’d rather not know, so I think it’s alright if I don’t

A window with a blooming lavender, a dirt-covered sink, and an unfinished muffler

I don’t know why I don’t know them at all,

And suddenly the scent of the spring fills the room

The flower-badger game can take even storm-clouds away

And I’m left all alone in the fading of the day

Sparing me nothing but the last ray of light

In a daze, just like when you had left me behind

So last night I got drunk, but I think I remember a bit more than I had said before

I can recall that my life will go on, even if I feel lost when you’re gone

Even now, I remember the day when you showed me a flower and told me of its name

And so I kept it there deep in my heart, to remember when you went away

Surely then, tomorrow I’ll meet up with you

With that look upon your face like it’s nothing new

You’ll say that you’re sorry you took such a long time

I’ll laugh as I say “I’ve done that too”

Wanting nothing but those words, I’m waiting for you

As the sunset turns to night, I’m waiting for you

So that I don’t forget, I’ll write songs of flowers and love

All alone in the night, knowing words won’t be enough

And sleeping in a room where you’re far out of sight

Knowing only your warmth as you leave me behind

I’ve been a fool, I know, but I can’t let it go

For the flower you left me as springtime overflowed

I’m living in this town when you’re so far ahead

Knowing only the warmth that you left on our bed

Knowing only a flower and words left unsaid

Wanting nothing but those words, I’m waiting for you…

As the sunset turns to night, I’m waiting for you…

Jinshi “…Soka. Sugu mairu… Nn… Nnn…”

Jinshi “…I see. I’ll be right away… Hmm… Hmmm…”

猫猫（何(なん)なんだ？目障(めざわ)りだな…）

Maomao (What is this? It’s an eyesore…)

目障り（めざわり/Me-zawari）: eyesore

壬氏「ふん！説明(せつめい)をしてもらおうか」

Jinshi “Fun! Setsumei’o shite-morao-ka.”

Jinshi “Hmph! Explain to me, okay?”

猫猫「え…一体(いったい)何(なん)のことでしょうか？」

Maomao “E… Ittai nan’no koto-desho-ka?”

Maomao “Huh? What on earth are you talking about?”

壬氏「かんざしだ！どうしてかんざしをつけて来(こ)ない！？」

Jinshi “Kanzashi-da! Do-shite kanzashi’o tsukete-konai!?”

Jinshi “That hair stick! Why didn’t you wear the hair stick?!”

猫猫（あ～～、すっかり忘(わす)れてた～…）

Maomao (Aaaaa, sukkari wasurete-taaa…)

Maomao (Ahh… I completely forgot.)

壬氏「お前(まえ)…まさかとは思(おも)うが、売(う)り払(はら)ってしまったんじゃ！？」

猫猫「あぁ……しつこい…」

Maomao “Aa……Shitsukoi…”

Maomao “Ah… He is so persistent…”

猫猫「ここで、猫猫の豆知識(まめちしき)。隣国(りんごく)では古来(こらい)より、簪(かんざし)を呪術具(じゅじゅつぐ)として身(み)につけていたらしい。先(さき)の尖(とが)った細(ほそ)い棒(ぼう)に呪力(じゅりょく)が宿(やど)ると信(しん)じられ、お守(まも)りや魔除(まよ)けの役割(やくわり)も果(は)たしていたとか…」

Maomao “Shisui has gone… The hair stick… The person who gave it to me is obsessive, so I hope that it will come back resentful like its original owner…”

Maomao “Next episode, ‘The Shi Clan.’ The curtain will rise on her stage performance…”

[morimyulyrics]

This track made me go... ayo?👀 The song shows us how Ms Hudson truly feels about Sherlock. I personally think this has been something hinted since the first musical. And I think it's fun how they never put a name to it. Even in this song itself, you can see all the ways she cares for Sherlock, but she never labels her feelings. Just a "..." in the lyrics. And it's all up to everyone's interpretations what they think she really feels. It's genius.

And yet… why do I… Why do I, towards you…

Your empty room with the fireplace unlit, and your sunset-colored chair idly wait for your return

And when I don’t hear your grumpy footsteps This heart, my heart somehow searches for you

You save people’s hearts through the mysteries you solve It’s something only you can do, Sherlock Please, save everyone

When you’re not around my heart beats frantically Please help me solve this mystery someday

I believe in you More than you could ever know

I… you more than you could ever know

炭治郎「刃(は)かな?!刀身(とうしん)も見(み)ますね。はぁ……凄(すご)い。漆黒(しっこく)の深(ふか)さが違(ちが)う」

Tanjiro “Ha-kana?! Toshin’mo mimasu-ne. Haa…… Sugoi. Shikkoku’no fukasa’ga chigau.”

Tanjiro “Blade? Yes, I’ll look at the sword blade, too! Oh! Wow! It’s an even deeper shade of pitch black!”

鋼鐵塚「鉄(てつ)も質(しつ)がいいし、前(まえ)の持(も)ち主(ぬし)が相当(そうとう)強(つよ)い剣士(けんし)だったんだろう。ハァハァ…」

Haganezuka “Tetsu’mo shitsu’ga ii-shi, mae’no mochi-nushi’ga soto tsuyoi kenshi-dattan-daro. Haa haa…”

Haganezuka “That’s some high-quality steel there… so the swordsman who wielded it must’ve been exceptionally strong.”

炭治郎「『滅(めつ)』の文字(もじ)…」

Tanjiro “‘Metsu’no moji…”

Tanjiro “The character for ‘destroy’…”

鋼鐵塚「これを打った刀鍛冶(かたなかじ)が、全(すべ)ての鬼(おに)を滅(めっ)する為(ため)に作(つく)った刀(かたな)だ。作者名(さくしゃめい)も何(なに)も刻(きざ)まず、ただこの文字(もじ)だけを刻(きざ)んだ。この刀(かたな)の後(あと)から階級制度(かいきゅうせいど)が始(はじ)まり、柱(はしら)だけが『悪鬼滅殺(あっきめつさつ)』の文字(もじ)を刻(きざ)むようになったそうだ」

Haganezuka “Kore’o utta katana-kaji’ga, subete’no oni’o messuru-tame’ni tsukutta katana-da. Sakusha-mei’mo nani’mo kizamazu, tada kono moji-dake’o kizanda. Kono katana’no ato’kara kaikyu-seido’ga hajimari, Hashira-dake’ga ‘Akki-Messatsu’no moji’o kizamu-yoni natta-soda.”

Haganezuka “The swordsmith who forged this meant for it to destroy all demons! He didn’t even engrave his name as its creator! Just this one character!

The hierarchy system started after this sword was forged, I’m told, and only the Hashira came to have the words ‘Destroyer of Demons’ engraved on their swords.”

炭治郎「そうなんですね。すごい刀(かたな)だ…。でも、前(まえ)の戦(たたか)いでこれを使(つか)った時(とき)は、文字(もじ)が無(な)かったような…」

Tanjiro “So-nan-desu-ne. Sugoi katana-da… Demo, mae’no tatakai’de kore’o tsukatta-toki’wa, moji’ga nakatta-yona…”

Tanjiro “I didn’t know that! So, it’s an amazing sword! But when I fought in the previous battle, I don’t remember seeing this character.”

鋼鐵塚「チッ。だからそれは、第一段階(だいいちだんかい)までしか研(と)ぎ終(お)えてないのに、お前(まえ)らが持(も)ってって使(つか)ったからだろうが。錆(さび)が落(お)としきれてなかったんだよ。ブチ殺(ころ)すぞ！」

Haganezuka “Chi. Dakara sore’wa, dai-ichi-dankai-made-shika togi-oete-nai-noni, omae-ra’ga mottette tsukatta-kara-daro-ga. Sabi’ga otoshi-kirete-nakattan-dayo. Buchi-korosu-zo!”

Haganezuka “Hah! I told you… that’s because I hadn’t even finished the first stage of honing… when you guys took it away and used it! I hadn’t removed all the rust yet, okay? I’m gonna kill you!”

→I think it should have been translated as “because I had only finished the first stage of honing.”

第一段階までしか研ぎ終えてない ＝ 第一段階だけは研ぎ終わった

炭治郎「すみません!!」

Tanjiro “Sumi-masen!!”

Tanjiro “I’m so sorry!”

鋼鐵塚「今(いま)もまだ！傷(きず)が治(なお)りきってなくて、ずっと涙(なみだ)が出(で)てるんだよ！あ～痛(いた)くて痛くてたまらないんだよ!! 研(と)ぎの途中(とちゅう)で邪魔(じゃま)されまくったせいで、最初(さいしょ)から研(と)ぎ直(なお)しになったんだからな！あー！」

Haganezuka “Ima’mo-mada! Kizu’ga naori-kitte-nakute, zutto namida’ga deterun-dayo! Aaa, itakute itakute tamara-nain-dayo!! Togi’no tochu’de jama-sare-makutta-sei’de, saisho’kara togi-naoshi’ni nattan-dakara-na! Aaa!”

Haganezuka “My wounds still haven’t fully healed, and I can’t stop my tears from flowing! Man, it hurts so bad, I can’t take it anymore! Thanks to all the interruptions, I had to start honing again from scratch, all right?”

炭治郎「すみません！」

Tanjiro “Sumi-masen!”

後藤「でも、怪我(けが)の酷(ひど)さなら、コイツの方(ほう)も負(ま)けてないっスよ。体中(からだじゅう)の骨(ほね)、折(お)れまくってるし、コイツ」

Goto “Deo, kega’no hidosa-nara, koitsu’no-ho’mo makete-naissu-yo. Karada-ju’no hone, ore-makutteru-shik koitsu.”

Goto “Yeah, but in terms of severity, the kid’s injuries are just as bad as yours. I mean, the bones in his body got totally pulverized.”

鋼鐵塚「ん？ブチ殺(ころ)すぞ！」

Haganezuka “N? Buchi-korosu-zo!”

Haganezuka “I’m gonna kill you!”

後藤「話(はなし)通(つう)じねぇな!!」

Goto “Hanashi tsuji-nee-na!!”

Goto “Can’t you have a conversation?”

鋼鐵塚「いいか炭治郎！お前(まえ)は今後(こんご)死(し)ぬまで俺(おれ)にみたらし団子(だんご)を持(も)ってくるんだ！いいな！わかったな！」

Haganezuka “Iika Tanjiro! Omae’wa kongo shinu-made ore’ni mitarashi-dango’o motte-kurunda! Ii-na! Wakatta-na!”

Haganezuka “Listen to me, Tanjiro! You’re gonna bring me rice dumplings until the day you die! You hear me? Do you understand?”

炭治郎「は…はい！持(も)っていきます」

Tanjiro “Ha…Hai! Motte-iki-masu.”

Tanjiro “Y-Yes! I’ll bring them to you!”

炭治郎「ありがとうございました。お大事(だいじ)に！」

Tanjiro “Arigato gozai-mashita. Odaiji-ni!”

Tanjiro “Thank you so much! Please take care!”

後藤「噂(うわさ)には聞(き)いてたけど、スゲェ人(ひと)だな」

Goto “Uwasa’niwa kiiteta-kedo, sugee hito-dana.”

Goto “I’ve heard the rumors about him, but he sure is a piece of work.”

炭治郎「今日(きょう)はかなり穏(おだ)やかでしたよ。相当(そうとう)つらいみたいです」

Tanjiro “Kyo’wa kanari odayaka-deshita-yo. Soto tsurai-mitai-desu.”

Tanjiro “He was awfully mild today. It looks like he’s in a lot of pain.”

後藤「マジかよ……」

Goto “Maji-kayo……”

Goto “Seriously?”

不死川玄弥(しなずがわげんや)「さっきからうるせぇんだよ」

Shinazugawa Gen’ya “Sakki’kara uruseen-dayo.”

Genya Shinazugawa “Can you be any noisier?”

炭治郎「あ、ごめん玄弥(げんや)。もう済(す)んだから。騒(さわ)がしくして悪(わる)かった…」

Tanjiro “A, gomen Gen’ya. Mo sunda-kara. Sawagashiku-shite waru-katta…”

Tanjiro “Hey… Sorry, Genya. We’re done now. Sorry to make such a―”

伊之助「おりゃあああ～！」

Inosuke “Oryaaaaaa!”

炭治郎「ああ―――!! 伊之助(いのすけ)…!! 何(なに)してるんだ、窓(まど)割(わ)って…!!」

Tanjiro “Aaaaaaaa!! Inosuke…!! Nani shite-runda, mado watte…!!”

Tanjiro “Whoa! Inosuke! What are you doing, breaking the window?”

後藤「お前(まえ)バカかよ！胡蝶様(こちょうさま)に殺(ころ)されるぞ！」

Goto “Omae baka-kayo! Kocho-sama’ni koro-sareru-zo!”

Goto “Are you a moron or what? Lady Kocho’s going to kill you!”

伊之助「ウリィィィィィ!!」

Inosuke “Uriiiiii!!”

後藤「黙(だま)れっ！」

伊之助「強化(きょうか)強化強化!! 合同強化訓練(ごうどうきょうかくんれん)が始(はじ)まるぞ!!」

Inosuke “Kyoka kyoka kyoka!! Godo-kyoka-kunren’ga hajimaru-zo!!”

Inosuke “Training, training, training! The group strength training program is about to start!”

炭治郎「合同強化(ごうどうきょうか)？」

Tanjiro “Godo-kyoka?”

Tanjiro “The group strength training?”

伊之助「強(つよ)い奴(やつ)らが集(あつ)まって稽古(けいこ)つけて…何(なん)たらかんたら言(い)ってたぜ！」

Inosuke “Tsuyoi yatsu-ra’ga atsumatte keiko-tsukete… Nantara-kantara itteta-ze!”

Inosuke “The strongest will gather and give training… and something or other, they said!”

炭治郎「えっ？何(なん)なんだ、それ？」

Tanjiro “E? Nan-nanda, sore?”

Tanjiro “Huh? What’s that about?”

伊之助「わっかんねぇ!!」

Inosuke “Wakkan-nee!!”

しのぶ「柱(はしら)から鬼殺隊員(きさつたいいん)への稽古(けいこ)について、計画(けいかく)の内容(ないよう)はだいたいこれで詰(つ)められたと思(おも)います」

Shinobu “Hashira’kara Kisatsu-Taiin’eno keiko’ni-tsuite, keikaku’no naiyo’wa dai-tai kore’de tsume-rareta-to omoi-masu.”

Shinobu “As far as the Hashira Training for the Demon Slayer swordsmen is concerned… I think we’ve worked out most of the details of our strategy.”

実弥「期間(きかん)と、それを始(はじ)める日���(ひづけ)だが…」

Sanemi “Kikan’to, sore’o hajimeru hizuke-daga…”

Sanemi “What about the duration and start date?”

行冥「三日後(みっかご)から始(はじ)めるとしよう」

Gyomei “Mikka-go’kara hajimeru-to shiyo.”

Gyomei “Let us start in three days’ time.”

しのぶ「そんなに早(はや)くできますか？」

Shinobu “Sonna’ni hayaku deki-masu-ka?”

Shinobu “That’s so soon. Can we do that?”

行冥「時(とき)は一刻(いっこく)を争(あらそ)う。今後(こんご)、鬼舞辻無惨(きぶつじむざん)がどのような動(うご)きをしてくるか分(わ)からない今(いま)、できる準備(じゅんび)は全(すべ)てやっておきたい」

Gyomei “Toki’wa ikkoku’o arasou. Kongo, Kibutsuji Muzan’ga dono-yona ugoki’o shite-kuru-ka wakara-nai ima, dekiru junbi’wa subete yatte-okitai.”

Gyomei “We have no time to lose. As we have no way of knowing what moves Muzan Kibutsuji will be making… I’d like us to be prepared in every possible way.”

小芭内「今後(こんご)、鬼(おに)の活動(かつどう)がさらに活発(かっぱつ)になれば、俺(おれ)たち柱(はしら)だけでは手(て)が回(まわ)らないだろうからな」

Obanai “Kongo, oni’no katsudo’ga sara-ni kappatsu-ni nareba, ore-tachi Hashira-dake’dewa te’ga mawara-nai-daro-kara-na.”

Obanai “If the demons start running rampant again… it will be too much for us Hashira to handle.”

しのぶ「でも、訓練(くんれん)している間(あいだ)、鬼(おに)たちは大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)なんでしょうか？」

Shinobu “Demo, kunren-shite-iru-aida, oni-tachi’wa daijobu nan-desho-ka?”

Shinobu “But what if the demons strike while we’re training?”

行冥「鬼(おに)は竈門禰豆子(かまどねずこ)を捕獲(ほかく)することに集中(しゅうちゅう)すると想定(そうてい)される。実際(じっさい)に、刀鍛冶(かたなかじ)の里(さと)の一件(いっけん)以降(いこう)、鬼(おに)の出没(しゅつぼつ)は大(おお)きく減少(げんしょう)した。それであれば、これまでは柱(はしら)が継子(つぐこ)以外(いがい)に稽古(けいこ)をつけることは多忙(たぼう)故(ゆえ)難(むずか)しかったが、短期間(たんきかん)に絞(しぼ)り、鬼殺隊(きさつたい)全体(ぜんたい)の底上(そこあ)げに全力(ぜんりょく)を注(そそ)ぐ機会(きかい)とする。これは重要(じゅうよう)な急務(きゅうむ)である。重要(じゅうよう)。そう考(かんが)える故(ゆえ)、私(わたし)は柱稽古(はしらげいこ)を提案(ていあん)した」

Gyomei “Oni’wa Kamado Nezuko’o hokaku-suru-koto’ni shuchu-suru-to sotei-sareru. Jissai-ni, Katana-kaji’no Sato’no ikken-iko, oni’no shutsu-botsu’wa ookiku gensho-shita.

Kore’wa juyo-na kyumu’de aru. Juyo. So kangaeru-yue, watashi’wa Hashira-Geiko’o teian-shita.”

Gyomei “We can assume that the demons’ focus will be on capturing Nezuko Kamado. As a matter of fact, ever since the incident at the Swordsmith Village, demon sightings have dwindled considerably. If that’s the case… as Hashira, we never had any time until now to train anyone but our own Tsuguko… but over a short span, it will be a chance to go all out to raise the bar of the entire Demon Slayer Corps. This is a crucial, pressing need. Crucial. Due to this line of thinking, I have proposed this Hashira Training.”

実弥「悲鳴嶼(ひめじま)さん。くどくど言(い)われるまでもねえよ」

Sanemi “Himejima-san. Kudo-kudo iwareru-made’mo nee-yo.”

Sanemi “Mr.Himejima… You don’t have to go on and on about it.”

しのぶ「私(わたし)も了解(りょうかい)です」

Shinobu “I am also in agreement.”

Mitsuri “I’m fine with it, too!”

小芭内「稽古(けいこ)は俺(おれ)たち現役(げんえき)の柱(はしら)だけで足(た)りるのか？」

Obanai “Keiko’wa ore-tachi gen’eki’no Hashira-dake’de tariru-noka?”

Obanai “Can the training be handled by just us active Hashira?”

行冥「柱(はしら)を引退(いんたい)した者(もの)にも手伝(てつだ)ってもらおうと思(おも)う。こちらも異論(いろん)は？」

Gyomei “Hashira’o intai-shita-mono’nimo tetsudatte-morao-to omou. Kochira’mo iron’wa?”

Gyomei “I’m thinking of asking the retired Hashira to help out, as well. No objections to that, either?”

Sanemi “None, of course.”

しのぶ「あとは…冨岡(とみおか)さんですね」

善逸「ハァ～…任務(にんむ)からやっと帰(かえ)ってきたと思(おも)ったら、次(つぎ)は訓練(くんれん)だって。たまんないよ…」

Zen’itsu “Haaaa… Ninmu’kara yatto kaette-kita-to omottara, tsugi’wa kunren-datte. Taman’nai-yo…”

Zenitsu “I finally get back from my mission, and now we have to train. This is so miserable.”

炭治郎「善逸(ぜんいつ)は今(いま)から行(い)くのか？」

Tanjiro “Zen’itsu’wa ima’kara iku-noka?”

Tanjiro “Are you heading there now, Zenitsu?”

善逸「そうだよ。柱(はしら)を順番(じゅんばん)に巡(めぐ)って稽古(けいこ)をつけてもらうんだって」

Zen’itsu “So-dayo. Hashira’o junban-ni megutte keiko’o tsukete-moraun-datte.”

Zenitsu “That’s right. We’re going to train under every Hashira one by one!”

炭治郎「えっ?!　そうなんだ！すごいな！」

Tanjiro “E?! So-nan-da! Sugoi-na!”

Tanjiro “What, really? That’s great!”

善逸「何(なに)も凄(すご)くねぇわ。最悪(さいあく)だよ地獄(じごく)じゃん。誰(だれ)なんだよ、考(かんが)えた奴(やつ)。死(し)んでくれよ」

Zen’itsu “Nani’mo sugoku-nee-wa. Sai’aku-dayo, jigoku-jan. Dare-nan-dayo, kangaeta yatsu. Shinde-kure-yo.”

Zenitsu “There’s nothing great about it. It’s awful! It’s hell! Whoever came up with this idea? Just die, will you?”

炭治郎「こらっ！自分(じぶん)よりも格上(かくうえ)の人(ひと)と手合(てあ)わせしてもらえるって、上達(じょうたつ)の近道(ちかみち)なんだぞ！自分(じぶん)よりも強(つよ)い人(ひと)と対峙(たいじ)すると、それをグングン吸収(きゅうしゅう)して強(つよ)くなれるんだから」

Tanjiro “Kora! Jibun-yorimo kaku-ue’no hito’to teawase-shite-moraerutte, jotatsu’no chika-michi-nan-dazo! Jibun-yorimo tsuyoi hito’to taiji-suruto, sore’o gun-gun kyushu-shite tsuyoku narerun-dakara.”

Tanjiro “Hey! Getting to train with someone ranked above you is a shortcut to improving your skills! When you take on someone stronger than you… you absorb it all, and that makes you stronger!”

善逸「あああああ～っ!!　そんな前向(まえむ)きなこと言(い)うんであれば、俺(おれ)とお前(まえ)の仲(なか)も今日(きょう)これまでだな!!」

Zen’itsu “Aaaaaaa!! Sonna mae-muki-na koto iunde-areba, ore’to omae’no naka’mo kyo kore-made-dana!!”

Zenitsu “If you’re going to spew such positive drivel, as of today, you and I are no longer friends!”

炭治郎「いたたた！」

Tanjiro “Itatata!”

Tanjiro “Ow, ow, ow!”

善逸「お前(まえ)はいいだろうよ！まだ骨折(こっせつ)治(なお)ってねえから、ぬくぬくぬくぬく寝(ね)とけばいいんだからよ!! 俺(おれ)はもう今(いま)から行(い)かなきゃならねぇんだぞ！わかるか、この気持(きも)ち！」

Zenitsu “It’s all well and good for you! Since your broken bones haven’t healed yet, you get to lie in that comfy bed all day! But I have to head out there now! Do you understand how that feels?”

炭治郎「あー！ごめん、ごめん！」

Tanjiro “Aaa! Gomen, gomen!”

Tanjiro “Sorry!”

善逸「きっ！」

Zen’itsu “Ki!”

Zenitsu “Hah!”

炭治郎「あっ…善逸(ぜんいつ)！」

Tanjiro “A… Zen’itsu!”

Tanjiro “Hey, Zenitsu!”

善逸「俺(おれ)に話(はな)しかけるんじゃねぇ…!!」

Zen’itsu “Ore’ni hanashi-kakerun-ja nee…!!”

Zenitsu “Don’t even think about talking to me!”

炭治郎「いやいや、待(ま)ってくれ。言(い)い忘(わす)れてたけど、ありがとう！上弦(じょうげん)の肆(し)との戦(たたか)いで、片足(かたあし)が殆(ほとん)ど使(つか)えなくなった時(とき)、前(まえ)に善逸(ぜんいつ)が教(おし)えてくれてた雷(かみなり)の呼吸(こきゅう)のコツを使(つか)って、鬼(おに)の頚(くび)が斬(き)れたんだ」

Tanjiro “Iya-iya, matte-kure. Ii-wasureteta-kedo, arigato! Jogen’no Shi’tono tatakai’de, kata-ashi’ga hotondo tsukae-naku-natta-toki, mae’ni Zen’itsu’ga oshiete-kureteta kaminari’no kokyu’no kotsu’o tsukatte, oni’no kubi’ga kiretanda.”

Tanjiro “No, wait a second! I forgot to tell you something. Thanks! During the battle against Upper Four… when I could no longer use one of my legs… I used the Thunder Breathing technique you once taught me… and that’s how I was able to behead the demon!”

炭治郎「勿論(もちろん)、善逸(ぜんいつ)みたいな速(はや)さではできなかったけど、本当(ほんとう)にありがとう。こんなふうに人(ひと)と人との繋(つな)がりが窮地(きゅうち)を救(すく)ってくれることもあるから、柱稽古(はしらげいこ)で学(まな)んだことは全部(ぜんぶ)、きっと、良(よ)い未来(みらい)に繋(つな)がっていくと思(おも)うよ」

Tanjiro “Mochi-ron, Zen’itsu-mitai-na hayasa’dewa deki-nakatta-kedo, honto-ni arigato. Konna-fu’ni hito’to-hito’tono tsunagari’ga kyuchi’o sukutte-kureru-koto’mo aru-kara, Hashira-Geiko’de mananda-koto’wa zenbu, kitto, yoi mirai’ni tsunagatte-iku-to omou-yo.”

Tanjiro “Of course, I couldn’t do it as fast as you… but really, thanks! See, there are times when your connections to others can get you out of a jam… so everything you learn during Hashira Training… will probably lead you to a brighter future.”

善逸「馬鹿野郎(ばかやろう)お前(まえ)っ…！そんなことで俺(おれ)の機嫌(きげん)が直(なお)ると思(おも)うなよ!!」

Zen’itsu “Baka-yaro omae…! Sonna-koto’de ore’no kigen’ga naoru-to omou-na-yo!!”

Zenitsu “Oh, you dummy! Just don’t think that saying stuff like that will put me in a better mood!”

炭治郎（あっ、ゴキゲンだ。よかった）

Tanjiro (A, gokigen-da. Yokatta.)

Tanjiro (Hey, he’s in a good mood! Thank goodness!)

善逸「じゃあな、炭(たん)治郎(じろう)！早(はや)く元気(げんき)になれよ！まったくもう、みんな俺(おれ)がいなきゃなんにもできないんだから～フフフフ」

Zen’itsu “Jaa-na, Tanjiro! Hayaku genki-ni nare-yo! Mattaku-mo, minna ore’ga inakya nan’nimo deki-nain-dakaraaa, fufufufu.”

Zenitsu “See you, Tanjiro! Feel better soon! Seriously! Everyone’s so helpless without me around!”

炭治郎「本当(ほんとう)にありがとう。善逸(ぜんいつ)」

Tanjiro “Honto-ni arigato. Zen’itsu.”

Tanjiro “Really, thank you so much… Zenitsu.”

天元「この後(あと)はだな。まずは、時透(ときとう)の高速移動(こうそくいどう)の稽古(けいこ)。奴(やつ)は表情(ひょうじょう)を変(か)えないできついことをやらかすからなぁ。その次(つぎ)は甘露寺(かんろじ)による地獄(じごく)の柔軟(じゅうなん)がお出迎(でむか)えだ��そん次(つぎ)は伊黒(いぐろ)だな。太刀筋(たちすじ)矯正(きょうせい)。蛇(へび)の稽古(けいこ)はねちっこいぞ～。で、不死川(しなずがわ)だろ。無限(むげん)打(う)ち込(こ)み稽古(げいこ)って聞(き)いているが、その名(な)の通(とお)り際限(さいげん)ねえぞ、きっと。最後(さいご)に悲鳴嶼(ひめじま)の旦那(だんな)の筋肉強化訓練(きんにくきょうかくんれん)。これは人間(にんげん)捨(す)てるっきゃねえなぁ」

Next up is Kanroji’s Flexibility Training from hell. Then, it’s on to Iguro. He’ll rework their sword skills. That serpent’s one incessant trainer! Then, we have Shinazugawa. I hear it’s called ‘Infinite Slashing Training’… but just as the name implies, there’ll be no end to it, I bet. Last but not least, Mister Himejima’s Muscle Amplification Training. No choice but to become superhuman at that point.”

天元「柱(はしら)にしてみても、次(つぎ)から次へとかかってくる隊士(たいし)を延々(えんえん)と相手(あいて)にするわけで、さらなる体力(たいりょく)の向上(こうじょう)も見込(みこ)めるってわけだ。どうだ、派手(はで)だろ？俺(おれ)も、全力(ぜんりょく)の稽古(けいこ)、してみたかったもんだぜ。頼(たの)むぜ、みんな」

Tengen “For the Hashira, too, since they’ll be taking on an endless stream of Demon Slayer swordsmen, they can count on boosting their own physical stamina! Well? Flashy, isn’t it? I sure would’ve liked to try my hand at all-out training, too. I’m counting on you, you guys.”

Kasugai Crow “Good evening, Ms. Tamayo. It’s dangerous, you know. Leaving your window open at night. But tonight, the moon is truly gorgeous to behold. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m one of Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s messengers.”

鎹鴉「いやあしかし、隠(かく)れるのが御上手(おじょうず)ですな。貴女(あなた)を見(み)つける間(あいだ)に、産屋敷(うぶやしき)はもう動(うご)けなくなってしまった」

asuka and kairi x daughterxreader like asuka biological daughter and kairis adopted daughter? ~🌸

Missed you || Asuka x Daughter!Reader x Kairi Sane

Summary: You've missed Kairi so much. Now she's finally back home.

A/N: Disclaimer, I do not know Japanese, I used google translate. If something is incorrect, tell me so I can fix it.

The absence of Kairi had left a palpable void in your life, a missing piece that weighed heavy on your heart. Asuka had been your rock, but the joy of having both of your moms by your side had been an irreplaceable happiness.

You remembered the initial years, when it was just you and Asuka, navigating the world together. Her love had been unwavering, but when Kairi entered your life, everything changed. Her presence brought a new light, a warmth that filled your days with laughter and joy.

Saying goodbye to Kairi as she pursued her career with Stardom had been one of the toughest moments. The separation had felt like losing a piece of your heart, a part of your life that was integral to your happiness. But now, her return filled you with overwhelming joy and excitement.

Asuka sensed your elation and the underlying apprehension that lingered within you. With a knowing smile, she led you to the door, where Kairi stood, a radiant smile lighting up her face. The moment your eyes met, tears welled up, and before you knew it, you were enveloped in Kairi's warm embrace.

"Mama, totemo sabishikatta yo," you whispered, your voice filled with emotion.

Mama, I missed you so much.

Kairi held you close, peppering your face with kisses, her laughter a melody that resonated through the room. "Watashi mo anata ni aitakatta, watashi no chīsana takaramono. Yatto modotte kimashita."

I missed you too, my little treasure. I'm finally back.

Asuka watched the heartfelt reunion, a serene smile gracing her lips. Her eyes held a mixture of joy and contentment, seeing you embrace Kairi with such unbridled love.

From that moment on, you were inseparable from Kairi's side. Her return brought back the zest to your days, filling them with adventures and the familiar warmth that only a mother's love could bring. The trio was complete once more, and as you held onto both your moms, the sense of belonging and love enveloped you, making everything feel right in the world again.

若者のすべて - wakamono no subete - all about youth -> フジファブリック - fuji fabric || english + romaji

song: 若者のすべて - wakamono no subete artist: フジファブリック - fuji fabric year released: 2007

this song was recently covered by suis from yorushika! her cover was used in the end of the movie called 'drawing closer', also known in japanese as  「余命一年の僕が、余命半年の君と出会った話。」 (a movie i personally would recommend!! it was really good and made me bawl my eyes out, like most movies do)

--------

english lyrics:

summer’s peak has long since passed said the man on TV doing the daily forecast but as I run along the city paths I cant help but feel that, everyone's still having a blast

the 5 o'clock bell strikes but I can't seem to place a finger on the heart string that it strums still I can't seem to leave this trance conveniently left behind by fate's glance

so the year, bids farewell, the flowering flames disappear these memories could never leave, even if you're not here with me but if you are, I hope you are here with me, beneath the stars how bizarre, my mouth's ajar practicing these words in dreams didn't get me far

with the promise I drew from the world the present shifts in a moment, now I'm back again

rushing home, a street light blinks alone nearly like a dream I saw, back when I was only four but now it seems, a little more bright to me nearly like I want it as, reality

so the year, bids farewell, the flowering flames disappear these memories could never leave, even if you're not here with me but if you are, I hope you are here with me, beneath the stars how bizarre, my mouths ajar practicing these words in dreams didn't get me far

with grazed knees, and by your side I'll walk until, the end of this view

so the year, bids farewell, a final spark across the stars these memories could never leave, no matter how far time brings us apart if you are, I hope you are what a joke, it's au revoir there you are, here you are yet my minds lost its words all from afar

once the end, the very last, light of the year leaves us to bask would we stay, the very same looking up at the sky that never changed

romaji lyrics:

manatsu no piiku ga satta tenki yohoushi ga terebi de itteta soredemo imada ni machi wa ochitsukanai you na ki ga shiteiru

yuugata goji no chaimu ga kyou wa nandaka mune ni hibiite 'unmei' nante benri na mono de bonyari sasete

老宦官(ろうかんがん)「この際(さい)、血(ち)を薄(うす)めるのであれば、いっそこのような者(もの)を取(と)り込(こ)んでみては」

Ro-kangan “Kono-sai, chi’o usumeru-node-areba, isso kono-yona mono’o tori-konde-mitewa.”

Old eunuch “If you’re going to thin the bloodline, why don’t you add this one to it?”

安氏(アンシ)「お気(き)に入(い)りは隠(かく)しておかないと、誰(だれ)かに隠されてしまうわよ」

Anshi “Okini-iri’wa kakushite oka-naito, dareka’ni kakusarete-shimau-wayo.”

Anshi “You should hide your favorites. Or else someone may hide them from you.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

高順(ガオシュン)「壬氏様(ジンシさま)、おはようございます」

Gaoshun “Jinshi-sama, ohayo gozai-masu.”

Gaoshun “Good morning, Master Jinshi.”

壬氏「明日(あす)からの準備(じゅんび)は整(ととの)ったか？」

Jinshi “Asu’kara’no junbi’wa totonotta-ka?”

Jinshi “Are you ready for tomorrow?”

高順「ええ、抜(ぬ)かりなく」

Gaoshun “Ee, nukari-naku.”

Gaoshun “Yes, everything is in place.”

壬氏「では、残(のこ)すはあの娘(むすめ)だけか…」

Jinshi “Dewa, nokosu’wa ano musume-dake-ka…”

Jinshi “So, all that’s left is that girl…”

高順「遠征(えんせい)に同行(どうこう)させるのであれば、隠し通(とお)すのは難(むずか)しいかと」

Gaoshun “Ensei’ni doko-saseru-node-areba, kakushi-toosu-nowa muzukashii-kato.”

Gaoshun “If you’re going to have her along on this expedition, I doubt that it would be possible to hide it from her.”

壬氏「分(わ)かっている。薬屋(くすりや)には、今回(こんかい)の遠征中(えんせいちゅう)に、自分(じぶん)の口(くち)から話(はな)すつもりだ。本当(ほんとう)の身分(みぶん)をな…」

Jinshi “Wakatte-iru. Kusuriya’niwa, konkai’no ensei-chu’ni, jibun’no kuchi’kara hanasu-tsumori-da. Honto’no mibun’o-na…”

Jinshi “I know. I plan to tell the apothecary the truth myself during this expedition. About what my true status is.”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

桜花(インファ)「猫猫(マオマオ)～、お呼(よ)びだよ」

Infa “Maomaooo, oyobi-dayo.”

Yinghua “Maomao, you’re being summoned.”

猫猫「ん？」

Maomao “N?”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫「失礼(しつれい)します。玉葉様(ギョクヨウさま)、何(なに)かご用(よう)でしょうか？」

Maomao “Shitsurei-shimasu. Gyokuyo-sama, nanika goyo desho-ka?”

Maomao “Excuse me. Lady Gyokuyou, How may I be of service?”

玉葉妃「用があるのは私(わたし)ではなくて…」

Gyokuyo-hi “Yo’ga aru-nowa watashi’dewa nakute…”

Concubine Gyokuyou “It’s actually not me who called you.”

壬氏「私の方(ほう)だ」

Jinshi “Watashi’no-hoda.”

Jinshi “It’s me.”

猫猫「う…。どのようなご用件(ようけん)でしょう？」

Maomao “U… Dono-yona go-yoken desho?”

Maomao “How may I serve?”

壬氏「この者(もの)を数日(すうじつ)、返(かえ)していただきたいと思(おも)いまして」

Jinshi “Kono mono’o su-jitsu, kaeshite-itadaki-tai-to omoi-mashite.”

Jinshi “I would like for you to return this one to me for a few days.”

玉葉妃「返して？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Kaeshite?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “‘Return’ her?”

猫猫（…そういえば、翡翠宮(ひすいきゅう)に戻(もど)ってきたのは、玉葉様の出産(しゅっさん)が終(お)わるまでの特別(とくべつ)処置(しょち)だったっけ…）

Maomao (…So-ieba, Hisui-Kyu’ni modotte-kita-nowa, Gyokuyo-sama’no shussan’ga owaru-made’no Tokubetsu-shochi dattakke…)

Maomao (I guess, technically, I’m only back in the Jade Pavilion as a special assignment, limited to the term of Lady Gyokuyou’s pregnancy.)

玉葉妃「まぁ…困(こま)るわ。その間(あいだ)、毒見(どくみ)はどうするの？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Maa…Komaru-wa. Sono-aida, dokumi’wa do-suruno?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Oh, no. Who will taste my food during that time?”

壬氏「うちの侍女(じじょ)を貸(か)しましょう」

Jinshi “Uchi’no jijo’o kashi-masho.”

Jinshi “I will loan you my servant woman.”

玉葉妃「信頼(しんらい)できる方(かた)かしら」

Gyokuyo-hi “Shinrai-dekiru kata kashira.”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Is she trustworthy?”

壬氏「もちろん」

Jinshi “Mochi-ron.”

Jinshi “Of course.”

玉葉妃「数日というと、どこかへ出(で)かけるのかしら」

Gyokuyo-hi “Su-jitsu-to-iuto, dokoka’e dekakeruno-kashira.”

Concubine Gyokuyou “For a few days, though… Are you going somewhere?”

壬氏「断(ことわ)れぬ筋(すじ)から、狩(か)りに誘(さそ)われまして」

Jinshi “Kotowarenu suji’kara, kari’ni sasoware-mashite.”

Jinshi “I was invited to a hunting trip by someone I can’t turn down.”

玉葉妃「断れぬ筋？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Kotowarenu suji?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Someone you can’t turn down?”

壬氏「子昌様(シショウさま)のお誘いです」

Jinshi “Shisho-sama’no osasoi desu.”

Jinshi “An invitation from Master Shishou.”

玉葉妃「大変(たいへん)ねぇ、お付(つ)き合(あ)いも。それで、うちの猫猫を借(か)りたいというのね？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Taihen-nee, otsuki-ai-mo. Sorede, uchi’no Maomao’o karitai-to iu-none?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “It must be tough to keep up with all of that. So, that’s why you want to ‘borrow’ my Maomao.”

壬氏「ええ。返していただければと」

Jinshi “Ee. Kaeshite-itadake-reba-to.”

Jinshi “Yes, I would like to have her ‘returned.’”

玉葉妃「猫猫じゃなくてもいいんじゃない？うちには他(ほか)にもいい子(こ)がいるわよ？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Maomao-ja-nakutemo iinja nai? Uchi’niwa hoka’nimo ii-ko’ga iru-wayo?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Must it be Maomao? I have other good girls around.”

壬氏「いえ…その娘を返していただけたら、それでいいので」

Jinshi “Ie… Sono musume’o kaeshite-itadake-tara, sorede ii-node.”

Jinshi “No, just returning that girl to me would be fine.”

玉葉妃「えーっと…どの子のことかしら…」

Gyokuyo-hi “Eeetto… Dono ko’no koto kashira…”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Hmm… Which girl is it, I wonder?”

壬氏「ですから、その娘を…」

Jinshi “Desu-kara, sono musume’o…”

Jinshi “Well, that girl.”

玉葉妃「ふふっ、さっきから『その娘』としか言(い)わないのね」

Gyokuyo-hi “Fufu, sakki’kara ‘sono musume’to-shika iwanai-none.”

Concubine Gyokuyou “You keep saying just ‘that girl.’”

壬氏「あっ……それが何か？」

Jinshi “A……Sore’ga nanika?”

Jinshi “Is there a problem?”

玉葉妃「高順」

Gyokuyo-hi “Gaoshun.”

Concubine Gyokuyou “Gaoshun?”

高順「はい」

Gaoshun “Hai.”

Gaoshun “Yes?”

玉葉妃「あなたは、猫猫のことを何て呼んでるの？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Anata’wa, Maomao’no koto’o nante yonderu-no?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “What do you call Maomao?”

高順「私は…小猫(シャオマオ)、と」

Gaoshun “Watashi’wa… Shaomao-to.”

Gaoshun “I use ‘Xiaomao’.”

玉葉妃「じゃ、あなたは猫猫のことを何て呼んでるの？」

Gyokuyo-hi “Ja, anata’wa Maomao’no koto’o nante yonderu-no?”

Concubine Gyokuyou “So, what do you call Maomao?”

壬氏「う…あ、ん…」

Jinshi “U…a, n…”

猫猫（うん？あぁ、そーいや一度(いちど)も名前(なまえ)を呼ばれたことないな。別(べつ)にいいけど。何(なん)で壬氏様はソワソワしてるんだ？ん？）

Maomao (Un? Aa, sooiya ichido’mo namae’o yobareta-koto nai-na. Betsu’ni ii-kedo. Nande Jinshi-sama’wa sowa-sowa-shiterunda? N?)

Maomao (Oh. Come to think of it, he’s never called me by name before. Not that I mind. Why is Master Jinshi so uncomfortable?)

玉葉妃「ウフフフ…」

Gyokuyo-hi “Ufufufu…”

猫猫（玉葉様の許可(きょか)が下(お)りたのは、30分後(さんじゅっぷんご)のことだった…）

Maomao (Gyokuyo-sama’no kyoka’ga orita-nowa, sanjuppn-go’no koto datta…)

Maomao (It took thirty minutes for Lady Gyokuyou to grant permission.)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

馬閃(バセン)「茘(リー)、という国名(こくめい)は、その一文字(ひともじ)で、建国(けんこく)の物語(ものがたり)を表(あらわ)している。草(くさ)の下(した)に三(みっ)つの刀(かたな)…。草は華(はな)、帝(みかど)の先祖(せんぞ)である王母(おうぼ)を指(さ)し、その下の三つの刀は王母を助(たす)けた三人(さんにん)の武人(ぶじん)を示(しめ)す。三つの刀のうち、下二(ふた)つに比(くら)べて大(おお)きい刀は、北(きた)の大地(だいち)・子北州(しほくしゅう)を指(さ)す。子北洲一帯(いったい)は、高粱(コーリャン)や麦(むぎ)を栽培(さいばい)していて、さらに北に行(い)くと、山岳地帯(さんがくちたい)が広(ひろ)がり…て、聞(き)いてるのか！？」

Basen “Rī, to-iu koku-mei’wa, sono hito-moji’de, kenkoku’no monogatari’o arawashite-iru. Kusa’no shita’ni mittsu’no katana… Kusa’wa hana, mikado’no senzo-de-aru Obo’o sashi, sono shita’no mittsu’no katana’wa Obo’o tasuketa san-nin’no bujin’o shimesu. Mittsu’no katana’no-uchi, shita futatsu’ni kurabete ookii katana’wa, kita’no daichi, Shi-Hoku-shu’o sasu. Shi-hoku-shu-ittai’wa, kōryan’ya mugi’o saibai-shite-ite, sarani kita’ni ikuto, sangaku-chitai’ga hirogari…te, kiiteru-noka?!”

Basen “The character used to write the name of our nation, ‘Li,’ also depicts the story of its founding. Three swords under grass. ‘Grass’ is for ‘flower,’ representing the Mother Royal, ancestor of the emperor. The three ‘swords’ under it represent the three warriors who helped her. Of the three swords, the one larger sword represents the Shihoku-shu, the northern lands. That entire area grows sorghum and wheat. If you go further north, you enter a mountainous region… Hey, are you listening?!”

猫猫「…はっ。すみません、馬閃様」

Maomao “…Ha. Sumi-masen, Basen-sama.”

Maomao “Oh, I’m sorry, Master Basen.”

馬閃「これから行く場所(ばしょ)の説明(せつめい)をしてやってるんだぞ」

Basen “Kore-kara iku basho’no setsumei’o shite-yatterun-dazo.”

Basen “I’m explaining the place we’re going to.”

猫猫「確(たし)か北の…」

Maomao “Tashika kita’no…”

Maomao “The, uh, northern…”

馬閃「子北洲だ！壬氏様を狩りに誘った、子昌殿(シショウどの)の一族(いちぞく)が治(おさ)めている土地(とち)だ」

Basen “Shi-Hoku-shu-da! Jinshi-sama’o kari’ni sasotta, Shisho-dono’no ichi-zoku’ga osamete-iru tochi-da.”

Basen “Shihoku-shu! It’s controlled by Lord Shishou’s clan, and he’s the one who invited Master Jinshi on the hunting trip.”

猫猫（自分(じぶん)のお膝元(ひざもと)に、狩りと称(しょう)して呼びつけたわけか…。さすがに皇帝(こうてい)は来(こ)なかったが、そうそうたる顔(かお)ぶれらしい）

Maomao (Jibun’no ohiza-moto’ni, kari-to shoshite yobi-tsuketa wake-ka… Sasuga’ni kotei’wa konakatta-ga, so-so-taru kaobure rashii.)

Maomao (Using the hunt as an excuse to bring him to his own turf. He couldn’t get the emperor to come, but it’s still supposed to be quite a roster.)

馬閃「何でこんな娘を父上(ちちうえ)は…」

Basen “Nande konna musume’o chichi-ue’wa…”

Basen “Why does my father care so much about this girl?”

猫猫（父上…ねぇ。馬閃様は、高順様の息子(むすこ)らしい。今回、壬氏様とは別(べつ)の賓客(ひんきゃく)として招(まね)かれている高順様の代(か)わりに、付(つ)き人(びと)をするという。宦官(かんがん)と言っても、生(う)まれつき『無(な)い』わけじゃないし、年齢(ねんれい)からして子がいてもおかしくないか）

Maomao (Chichi-ue…nee. Basen-sama’wa, Gaoshun-sama’no musuko rashii. Konkai, Jinshi-sama-towa betsu’no hinkyaku-to-shite manekarete-iru Gaoshun-sama’no kawari’ni tsuki-bito’o suru-to-iu. Kangan-to ittemo, umare-tsuki ‘nai’ wake-ja nai-shi, nenrei’kara-shite ko’ga itemo okashiku-naika.)

Maomao (Father, huh? Master Basen is Master Gaoshun’s son, apparently. Master Gaoshun was invited on this trip as a guest in his own right, so Master Basen will serve as Master Jinshi’s aid instead. Eunuchs aren’t born that way, so it’s not strange for him to have a son, given his age.)

猫猫「うおっ」

Maomao “Uo.”

馬閃「そろそろ着(つ)くぞ」

Basen “Soro-soro tsuku-zo.”

Basen “We’re almost here.”

猫猫「ん？おお～」

Maomao “N? Oooo.”

猫猫（標高(ひょうこう)が高(たか)く涼(すず)しいこの場所(ばしょ)を、先帝(せんてい)は避暑地(ひしょち)として毎年(まいとし)訪(おとず)れていたという。今の帝になってから皇族(こうぞく)は訪れていないが、子昌様の一族が管理(かんり)しているらしい）

Maomao (Hyoko’ga takaku suzushii kono basho’o, sentei’wa hisho-chi-to-shite mai-toshi otozurete-ita-to-iu. Ima’no mikado’ni natte’kara kozoku’wa otozurete-inai-ga, Shisho-sama’no ichi-zoku’ga kanri-shite-iru-rashii.)

Maomao (With its high altitude and chilly weather, this region was the late emperor’s favorite summer resort, and he visited yearly. Members of the imperial family haven’t visited during the current emperor’s reign, but Master Shishou’s clan continues to manage the area.)

猫猫（ここに泊(と)まるのか…）

Maomao (Koko’ni tomaru-noka…)

Maomao (So, this is where we’re staying…)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（この部屋(へや)…やたら暑(あつ)いな。それにしても、何なんだ、あのくつろぎようは。いつもより疲(つか)れているのだろうが、限度(げんど)がある。…あれは、頭巾(ずきん)？美(うつく)しすぎるから、遠出(とおで)をする際(さい)に覆面(ふくめん)が必要(ひつよう)なのか…）

Maomao (Kono heya… yatara atsui-na. Sore’ni shitemo, nan-nanda, ano kutsurogi-yo’wa. Itsumo’yori tsukarete-iruno-daro-ga, gendo’ga aru. …Are’wa, zukin? Utsukushi-sugiru-kara, toode’o suru-sai’ni fukumen’ga hitsuyo nanoka…)

Maomao (This room is strangely warm. And that aside, what’s with the way this guy’s relaxing? He might be more tired than usual, but still, there have to be limits. Is that a face mask? Does he need to hide his beauty whenever he leaves the room?)

馬閃「ここでは、何とお呼びすれば？」

Basen “Koko’dewa, nanto oyobi-sureba?”

Basen “What should I call you while we are here?”

壬氏「室内(しつない)ではいつも通(どお)りでいい。外(そと)では、香泉(こうせん)と」

Jinshi “Shitsu-nai’dewa itsumo-doori’de ii. Soto’dewa, Kosen-to.”

Jinshi “Indoors, you can use the usual name. Outside, call me ‘Kousen’.”

馬閃「かしこまりました、香泉様」

Basen “Kashikomari-mashita, Kosen-sama.”

Basen “Understood, Master Kousen.”

猫猫（はて？）「何(なに)か、変(か)わった趣向(しゅこう)でも？」

Maomao (Hate?) “Nanika, kawatta shuko’demo?”

Maomao (Huh?) “Is this some kind of strange rule?”

壬氏「それについては……」

Jinshi “Sore’ni tsuite’wa…”

Jinshi “About that…”

猫猫（…ん？）「今回、高順様も賓客として招かれているのですよね？」

Maomao (…N?) “Konkai, Gaoshun-sama’mo hinkyaku-to-shite manekarete-iruno-desu-yone?”

Maomao “Master Gaoshun was invited as a guest today, right?”

高順「そうですが…」

Gaoshun “So-desu-ga…”

Gaoshun “Yes, but…”

猫猫（それなら、なぜ同(おな)じ棟(むね)に配置(はいち)されたのだろう？本来(ほんらい)はもう少(すこ)し差(さ)がつきそうな間柄(あいだがら)だが…）

Maomao (Sore-nara, naze onaji mune’ni haichi saretano-daro? Honrai’wa mo-sukoshi sa’ga tsuki-sona aida-gara daga…)

Maomao (In that case, why was he placed in the same building? There seems to be a bit more difference in rank between these two…)

馬閃「馬(マー)の一族は、代々(だいだい)香泉様の一族にお仕(つか)えする。棟が同じなのは当然(とうぜん)だ！」

Basen “Mā’no ichi-zoku’wa, dai-dai Kosen-sama’no ichi-zoku’ni otsukae-suru. Mune’ga onaji-nanowa tozen’da!”

Basen “We, the Ma clan, have served Master Kousen’s family for many generations. Of course we’d be placed in the same building.”

猫猫「そうですか…」（やっぱり壬氏様はいいとこの出(で)なのか…うん、うん）

Maomao “So-desuka…” (Yappari Jinshi-sama’wa ii-toko’no de nanoka… Un, un.)

Maomao “I see.” (So Master Jinshi is from a good family, after all.)

馬閃「父上、どういうことでしょうか？まさかこの娘…」

Basen “Chichi-ue, do-iu koto desho-ka? Masaka kono musume…”

Basen “Father, what’s going on? Could it be that she…”

高順「ん……」

Gaoshun “N……”

高順「小猫は例(れい)のことを何一(なにひと)つ知(し)らない」

Gaoshun “Shaomao’wa rei’no koto’o nani-hitotsu shira-nai.”

Gaoshun “Xiaomao knows nothing about it.”

馬閃「え？！」

Basen “E?!”

高順「いずれ壬氏様が直接(ちょくせつ)お伝えする。それまでは、この件(けん)には触(ふ)れるな」

Gaoshun “Izure Jinshi-sama’ga chokusetsu otsutae-suru. Sore-made’wa, kono ken’niwa fureru-na.”

Gaoshun “Master Jinshi will tell her soon. Until then, stay silent about it.”

馬閃「いや、しかし…いくら何でも…いて！くうーぅ…」

Basen “Iya, shikashi… Ikura nan-demo… Ite! Kuuuuu…”

Basen “But still, of all things…”

猫猫（何をやっているのだ？…とりあえず、荷物(にもつ)の片付(かたづ)けでもするか。仕事(しごと)しないと、後(あと)で水蓮様(スイレンさま)に怒(おこ)られる）

Maomao (Nani’o yatte-iru-noda? …Toriaezu, nimotsu’no katazuke-demo suruka. Shigoto shinaito, atode Suiren-sama’ni okorareru.)

Maomao (What are they doing? Anyway, I have to help unpack and clean up. I have to do some work, otherwise Lady Suiren will get angry with me later.)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

猫猫（あ～…外は宴(うたげ)で賑(にぎ)やかだというのに、なんで閉(し)め切(き)った部屋に閉(と)じこもっているんだ？）

Maomao (Aaa… Soto’wa utage’de nigiyaka-dato iu-noni, nande shime-kitta heya’ni toji-komotte-irunda?)

Maomao (It’s so lively outside with all the partying. Why is he hiding away in this sealed-off room?)

猫猫「あの…窓(まど)くらい開(あ)けたらいかがでしょう？」

Maomao “Ano… Mado-kurai aketara ikaga-desho?”

Maomao “Um, should we at least open the windows?”

壬氏「いや、いい。とりあえず、夕餉(ゆうげ)の毒見(どくみ)をしてみろ」

Jinshi “Iya, ii. Toriaezu, yuge’no dokumi’o shite-miro.”

Jinshi “No, don’t. Just taste the food for now.”

猫猫「あ…」

Maomao “A…”

壬氏「してみれば分かる」

Jinshi “Shite-mireba wakaru.”

Jinshi “You’ll understand when you do.”

猫猫「これは…スッポンですか？」

Maomao “Kore’wa… suppon desuka?”

Maomao “Is this… softshell turtle?”

壬氏「そのようだな」

Jinshi “Sono-yo-dana.”

Jinshi “Apparently.”

猫猫（食前酒(しょくぜんしゅ)も、果汁(かじゅう)の甘(あま)さでごまかそうとしているけど結構(けっこう)強(つよ)い。副菜(ふくさい)からデザートに至(いた)るまで…）

Maomao (Shokuzen-shu’mo, kaju’no amasa’de gomakasoto shite-iru-kedo kekko tsuyoi. Fuku-sai’kara dezāto’ni itaru’made…)

Maomao (The aperitif is really strong too, though they’re trying to hide it with the fruit juice. Everything, from the side dishes to the deserts…)

猫猫「何というか…精(せい)のつきそうなものばかりですね」

Maomao “Nanto-iuka… Sei’no tsuki-sona mono bakari desu-ne.”

Maomao “They all seem to be, well, invigorating.”

壬氏「分かっただろ」

Jinshi “Wakatta-daro.”

Jinshi “Now you see, right?”

猫猫（携帯食(けいたいしょく)？）

Maomao (Keitai-shoku?)

Maomao (Preserved food?)

猫猫「食べないのですか？毒ではありませんが」

Maomao “Tabenaino-desuka? Doku’dewa ari-masen-ga.”

Maomao “You’re not going to eat this? It’s not poisoned.”

壬氏「毒でなくても、食(く)うものではない」

Jinshi “Doku’de nakutemo, kuu-mono’dewa nai.”

Jinshi “Even if it’s not, it’s not anything I should eat.”

猫猫「では、残(のこ)しても怪(あや)しまれるので、私が食べてもよろしいでしょうか？」

Maomao “Dewa, nokoshitemo ayashimareru-node, watashi’ga tabetemo yoroshii desho-ka?”

Maomao “Well, it would be suspicious if it went untouched, so may I eat it instead?”

壬氏「勝手(かって)にしろ」

Jinshi “Katte’ni shiro.”

Jinshi “Do as you like.”

猫猫「うふっ」

Maomao “Ufu.”

壬氏「うまいか？それは」

Jinshi “Umai-ka? Sore’wa.”

Jinshi “Is it good?”

猫猫「おいしいですよ。スッポン以外(いがい)もおいしいと思いますけど、本当(ほんとう)に食べなくてよろしいのですか？」

Maomao “Oishii-desuyo. Suppon-igai’mo oishii-to omoi-masu-kedo, honto’ni tabe-nakute yoroshiino-desuka?”

Maomao “It’s delicious. The other dishes are probably great, too. Are you sure you don’t want any?”

壬氏「食べていいのか？」

Jinshi “Tabete ii-noka?”

Jinshi “Are you sure I can eat it?”

猫猫「はぁ。もともと壬氏様のお食事(しょくじ)です」

Maomao “Haa. Moto-moto Jinshi-sama’no oshokuji desu.”

Maomao “Well, it’s your food, after all.”

壬氏「本当にいいのか？！」

Jinshi “Honto’ni ii-noka?!”

Jinshi “Are you absolutely sure?”

猫猫（何なんだ？）

Maomao (Nan-nanda?)

Maomao (What’s with him?)

壬氏「…俺(おれ)はいい。馬閃、食っていいぞ」

Jinshi “…Ore’wa ii. Basen, kutte ii-zo.”

Jinshi “I won’t. Basen, you can eat it.”

馬閃「よろしいのですか？」

Basen “Yoroshiino-desuka?”

Basen “Are you sure?”

壬氏「ああ。むしろ食え」

Jinshi “Aa. Mushiro kue.”

Jinshi “Yeah. In fact, I order you to.”

馬閃「では…」

Basen “Dewa…”

Basen “In that case…”

馬閃「…美味(びみ)です！」

Basen “…Bimi desu!”

Basen “It’s delicious.”

壬氏「それは良(よ)かった…」

Jinshi “Sore’wa yokatta…”

Jinshi “That’s good.”

馬閃「ただ…」

Basen “Tada…”

Basen “But…”

壬氏「ただ？」

Jinshi “Tada?”

Jinshi “But?”

馬閃「…くっ。なぜこの娘は、平気(へいき)なのです？！」

Basen “…Ku. Naze kono musume’wa heiki nano-desu?!”

Basen “How is this girl not affected?!”

猫猫「なぜと言われましても…そういう体質(たいしつ)ですから」

Maomao “Naze-to iware-mashitemo… So-iu taishitsu desu-kara.”

Maomao “All I can say is that’s just how I’m built.”

馬閃「し、失礼(しつれい)いたします…私は、部屋に…」

Basen “Shi, Shitsu-rei itashi-masu… Watashi’wa, heya’ni…”

Basen “E-Excuse me. I’ll go to my room…”

猫猫（お若(わか)いとは大変(たいへん)である）

Maomao (Owakai-towa taihen’de aru.)

Maomao (It’s not easy being young and vigorous.)

馬閃「…あぁ…」

Basen “…Aa…”

猫猫「…どうしましょう？」

Maomao “…Do-shimasho?”

Maomao “What should we do?”

壬氏「ここで寝(ね)かせてやれ。俺はこいつの部屋で寝る」

Jinshi “Koko’de nekasete-yare. Ore’wa koitsu’no heya’de neru.”

Jinshi “Let him sleep here. I’ll sleep in his room.”

高順「ちゃんと部屋まで運(はこ)びますので…」

Gaoshun “Chanto heya’made hakobi-masu-node…”

Gaoshun “I’ll carry him to his room.”

壬氏「疲(つか)れているだろ」

Jinshi “Tsukarete-iru-daro.”

Jinshi “You must be tired.”

高順「そうおっしゃるなら…」

Gaoshun “So ossharu-nara…”

Gaoshun “If you say so…”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Maomao (The hunt takes place at a location half an hour away by horse, and then one hour up the mountain by foot. It seems like the point of the event is to cook the game caught by the nobles on the spot.)

Maomao (Master Lihaku got invited to join too, but he’s from the countryside. The other prideful guards must have pushed him out. He seems to be climbing the ranks recently, but that does tend to be met with resistance.)

猫猫「口笛(くちぶえ)、下手(へた)ですね」

Daki “Taishita koto nai-wane. Shosen… kono teido-yo! Ha! Doko?”

Daki “That was nothing to write home about. In the end, this is all it amounts to! Where is he?”

炭治郎「ヒノカミ神楽。幻日虹(げんにちこう)！」

Tanjiro “Hinokami-Kagura. Gen-Nichi-Ko!”

Tanjiro “Hinokami Kagura… Fake Rainbow…”

堕姫「ハッ！」

Daki “Kono busaiku-ga!”

Daki “You ugly piece of trash!”

炭治郎「ふっ！」（…ハッ！何だ？帯が体に入っていってる。いや、戻っているのか、分裂していた分が）

Tanjiro “Fu!” (…Ha! Nanda? Obiga karadani haitte-itteru. Iya, modotte-iru-noka, bunretsu-shite-ita bunga.)

Tanjiro (What’s going on? The Belts are entering her body! No. Are they going back into her? The ones that were split off from her?)

炭治郎（怯むな。呼吸を整えろ。行くぞ！）

Tanjiro (Hirumuna. Kokyu’o totonoero. Ikuzo!)

Tanjiro (Stand your ground! Get your breathing under control! Let’s go!)

堕姫「…やっぱり」

Daki “…Yappari.”

Daki “I knew it.”

炭治郎（消えた！）

Tanjiro (Kieta!)

Tanjiro (She’s gone!)

堕姫「“柱”ね。柱が来てたのね。良かった。あの方に喜んで戴けるわ…」

Daki “‘Hashira’ne. Hashiraga kiteta-none. Yokatta. Ano katani yorokonde-itadakeruwa…”

Daki “A Hashira… So a Hashira did come, after all! That’s great! That will certainly please my master!”

炭治郎（姿が変わった… 何て禍々(まがまが)しい匂いだ。喉の奥が痺れて痛い。力が更に増している！でも、伊之助たちの方に宇髄さんがいるのか？だったら安心だ…）

Tanjiro (Sugataga kawatta… Nante maga-maga-shii nioida. Nodono okuga shibirete itai. Chikaraga sarani mashite-iru! Demo, Inosuke-tachino-honi Uzui-sanga iru-noka? Dattara anshinda…)

Tanjiro (She’s transformed. What an ominous scent. It’s making the back of my throat sting with pain! She’s gained even more power! But is Uzui with Inosuke and the others? Then I can rest easy.)

男性「うるさいぞ、お前ら！何だ、その刀は！人の店の前で揉め事を起こすんじゃねぇぞ!! どこの嫌がらせだ！」

Dansei “Urusaizo, omaera! Nanda, sono katanawa! Hitono miseno maede mome-goto’o okosunja neezo!! Dokono iya-garase-da!”

Man “You guys need to shut the hell up! What’s the deal with that sword? You have a lot of nerve, brawling in front of my House! What kind of harassment is this?”

炭治郎（しまった!! 騒ぎで人が…）

Tanjiro (Shimatta!! Sawagide hitoga…)

Tanjiro (Oh no! We made too much noise, and now people are…)

男性「この花街はな、店の者もお客も規律を守って成り立ってんだ。お前らみたいのはお呼びじゃねぇんだよ！とっとと失せろ！」

Dansei “Kono hana-machi-wana, miseno monmo okyakumo kiritsu’o mamotte nari-tattenda. Omaera-mitai-nowa oyobija neen-dayo! Tottoto usero!”

Man “I’ll have you know that this Hanamachi is viable because we and our clients all follow the rules! People like you aren’t welcome here! Now get the hell out of my sight!”

堕姫「…うるさいわね」

Daki “…Urusai-wane.”

Daki “Why don’t you shut your trap?”

炭治郎（だめだ！）「だめだ！こっちに来ちゃ！」

Tanjiro (Dame-da!) “Dame-da! Kocchini kicha!”

Tanjiro (Don’t do it!) “Don’t do it! Don’t come this way!”

男性「な…」

Tanjiro “Step back! Stay inside your buildings!”

男性「おおっ」

Dansei “Oo.”

男性「グッアアッ！」

Dansei “Guaaa!”

Tanjiro “Mate. Yurusa…naizo. Konna koto’o shite-oite.”

Tanjiro “Come back here! I won’t let you get away with this! Not after what you just did!”

堕姫「何？まだ何か言ってるの？もういいわよ、不細工。醜い人間に生きてる価値無いんだから。仲良くみんなで死に腐れろ」

Daki “Nani? Mada nanika itteruno? Mo ii-wayo, busaiku. Minikui ningenni ikiteru kachi nain-dakara. Nakayoku minnade shini-kusarero.”

Daki “What? You still have something to say? That’s enough, ugly one. The repulsive have no reason to live, anyway. So you can all just die and rot together.”

女性「弘さん！弘さん！嫌ぁ誰か助けてェ…!!」

Josei “Hiro-san! Hiro-san! Iyaa dareka tasuketee…!!”

Woman “Hiro! Hiro! No! Somebody help us!”

煉獄槇寿郎「竈門君。君には悪いことをした。杏寿郎のために泣いてくれて、ありがとう。この四か月、千寿郎とも手紙のやりとりをしてくれていたそうだね。あの子も随分元気になった」

Rengoku Shinjuro “Kamado-kun. Kimi-niwa warui koto’o shita. Kyojurono tameni naite-kurete arigato. Kono yon-kagetsu, Senjuro-tomo tegamino yari-tori’o shite-kurete-ita-sodane. Ano komo zuibun genkini natta.”

Shinjuro Rengoku “Dear Kamado… I know that I wronged you. Thank you for shedding tears over Kyojuro. I hear that you’ve also been exchanging letters with Senjuro for the past four months. He seems to be in a much better place now.”

槇寿郎「初対面があのようなことになってしまい、恥ずかしく思う。自分の無能に打ちのめされていた時、畳み掛けるように、最愛の妻が病死した。それから酒に溺れ、蹲(うずくま)り続けた私は、とんでもない大馬鹿者だ」

Shinjuro “Shotaimenga ano-yona kotoni natte-shimai, hazukashiku omou. Jibunno munoni uchi-nome-sarete-ita-toki, tatami-kakeru-yoni, saiaino tsumaga byoshi-shita. Sorekara sakeni obore, uzukumari-tsuzuketa watashiwa, tondemo-nai oo-baka-mono-da.”

Shinjuro “I’m ashamed that our first meeting went the way it did. At a time when my own incompetence had left me shattered, things went from bad to worse when my beloved wife succumbed to illness. Since then, I’ve done nothing but drink myself into a stupor and wallow. There’s no bigger fool than me.”

槇寿郎「杏寿郎は私などと違い、素晴らしい息子だった。私が教えることを放棄した後でも、炎の呼吸の“指南書”を読み込んで鍛錬し、柱となった。たった三巻しかない本で。瑠火(るか)の…母親の血が濃いのだろう。杏寿郎も千寿郎も立派な子だ」

Shinjuro “Kyojurowa watashi-nadoto chigai, subarashii musuko datta. Watashiga oshieru koto’o hoki-shita-ato-demo, Honoo’no Kokyuno ‘shinan-sho’o yomi-konde tanrenshi, Hashirato natta. Tatta san-kan-shika nai honde. Rukano… haha-oyano chiga koino-daro. Kyojuromo Senjuromo rippana koda.”

Shinjuro “Unlike me, Kyojuro was a fine son. Even after I abandoned him as his instructor, he trained by reading the Guide to Flame Breathing, and became a Hashira. Even though there were only three volumes. He must have had more of Ruka’s… Of his mother’s blood. Both Kyojuro and Senjuro are fine boys.”

槇寿郎「そして竈門君。君はもっと凄い力がある。日の呼吸の選ばれた使い手は、君のように生まれつき赤い痣(あざ)が額(ひたい)にあるそうだ。だから、きっと君は…」

Shinjuro “Soshite Kamado-kun. Kimiwa motto sugoi chikaraga aru. Hino Kokyuno erabareta tsukaitewa, kimino-yoni umare-tsuki akai azaga hitaini aru-soda. Dakara, kitto kimiwa…”

Shinjuro “And Kamado… You have an even more amazing power. I hear that those who are chosen to wield Sun Breathing… are born with the same red mark on their forehead that you have. And so I’m sure that you…”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

炭治郎（いいえ、槇寿郎さん。この傷は生まれつきのものじゃない。これは元々、弟が火鉢を倒した時、庇って出来た火傷です。さらにその上を“最終選別”で負傷して今の形になりました）

Tanjiro (Iie, Shinjuro-san. Kono kizuwa umare-tsukino monoja nai. Korewa moto-moto, ototoga hibachi’o taoshita-toki, kabatte dekita yakedo desu. Sarani sono-ue’o ‘Saishu-Senbetsu’de fusho-shite imano katachini nari-mashita.)

Tanjiro (No, Shinjuro. I wasn’t born with this scar. Originally, it was a burn mark from when I protected my brother from a falling brazier. Later, I injured myself there during Final Selection, and that’s how it ended up the way it is now.)

炭治郎（俺の父は、生まれつき額に薄く痣があったようですが、俺は違います。俺はきっと、選ばれた使い手ではないのでしょう。）

Tanjiro (Oreno chichiwa umare-tsuki hitaini usuku azaga atta-yo-desuga, orewa chigai-masu. Orewa kitto, erabareta tsukaite-dewa naino-desho.)

Tanjiro (I hear that my father was born with a faint mark on his forehead, but that wasn’t the case with me. I must not be a chosen wielder.)

炭治郎「フウ―――…」

Tanjiro “Fuuuuuuuu…”

炭治郎（でも、それでも、選ばれたものでなくとも、力が足りずとも）

Tanjiro (Demo, sore-demo, erabareta-monode naku-tomo, chikaraga tarizu-tomo.)

Tanjiro (But… even so… Even if I’m not one of the chosen ones… Even if I’m not up to the task…)

炭治郎「くううっ」

Tanjiro “Kuuu.”

炭治郎（人にはどうしても、退(ひ)けない時があります。人の心を持たない者が、この世には居るからです）

Tanjiro (Hito-niwa do-shitemo, hike-nai tokiga ari-masu. Hitono kokoro’o mota-nai monoga, kono yo-niwa iru-kara-desu.)

Tanjiro (there are times when I just can’t back down! Because in this world, there are those who lack human hearts!)

炭治郎（理不尽(りふじん)に命を奪い、反省もせず、悔やむこともない）

Tanjiro (Rifujinni inochi’o ubai, hanseimo sezu, kuyamu-kotomo nai.)

Tanjiro (Killing for no reason without a second thought! Without any hint of remorse!)

堕姫「ハッ」

Daki “Ha.”

炭治郎（その横暴を俺は絶対、許さない）

Tanjiro (Sono obo’o orewa zettai, yurusa-nai.)

Tanjiro (I won’t allow… that kind of tyranny… no matter what!)

炭治郎「失われた命は回帰しない。二度と戻らない」

Tanjiro “Ushina-wareta inochiwa kaiki-shinai. Nidoto modora-nai.”

Tanjiro “Those lost lives will never return! They can never come back!”

堕姫「っつ…」

Daki “Ttsu…”

炭治郎「生身の者は、鬼のようにはいかない。なぜ奪う？なぜ命を踏みつけにする？」

Tanjiro “Namamino monowa, onino-yo-niwa ika-nai. Naze ubau? Naze inochi’o fumi-tsukeni suru?”

Tanjiro “Those made of flesh and blood can’t do what demons do. Why would you rob them? Why would you trample over their lives?”

堕姫（この言葉、どこかで聞いた… ハッ！）

Daki (Kono kotoba, dokokade kiita… Ha!)

Daki (I’ve heard these words before.)

縁壱「何が楽しい？何が面白い？命を何だと思っているんだ」

Yoriichi “Naniga tanoshii? Naniga omoshiroi? Inochi’o nandato omotte-irunda.”

Yoriichi “What do you find so entertaining? What’s so amusing about this? What do you take life for, exactly?”

堕姫（誰？知らない）

Daki (Dare? Shira-nai.)

Daki (Who is that? I don’t know.)

炭治郎「どうしてわからない？」

Tanjiro “Doshite wakara-nai?”

Tanjiro “Why can’t you understand?”

縁壱「どうして忘れる？」

Yoriichi “Doshite wasureru?”

Yoriichi “How can you forget?”

堕姫（これは、アタシじゃない。アタシの記憶じゃない。細胞だ。無惨様の細胞の記憶……）

Daki (Korewa, atashija nai. Atashino kiokuja nai. Saiboda. Muzan-samano saibono kioku……)

Daki (This isn’t me. These aren’t my memories. It’s the cells! Master Muzan’s! The memories of the cells…)

Tanjiro “Ningen-dattaro, omaemo. Katsutewa, itamiya kurushimi-ni mogaite namida’o nagashite-ita-hazuda.”

Tanjiro “You were a human once, weren’t you? You must’ve shed tears once, struggling against pain and suffering.”

堕姫「ごちゃごちゃ、ごちゃごちゃ五月蠅(うるさ)いわね。昔のことなんか覚えちゃいないわ。アタシは今鬼なんだから、関係ないわよ。鬼は老いない。食うために金も必要ない。病気にならない。死なない。何も失わない。そして、美しく強い鬼は、何をしてもいいのよ…!!」

Daki “Gocha-gocha, gocha-gocha urusai-wane. Mukashino koto-nanka oboecha inaiwa. Atashiwa ima oni nan-dakara, kankei-nai-wayo. Oniwa oi-nai! Kuu-tameni kanemo hitsuyo-nai! Byokini nara-nai! Shina-nai! Nanimo ushinawa-nai! Soshite, utsuku-shiku tsuyoi oniwa, nani’o shitemo iinoyo…!!”

Daki “You really are annoying, rambling on and on like that! I don’t remember anything about the past! I’m a demon now, so who cares about that? Demons never grow old. And they don’t need money to eat. They don’t get sick. They don’t die. They have nothing to lose. Not to mention… we beautiful, powerful demons… can do anything we want!”

炭治郎「わかった。もういい」

Tanjiro “Wakatta. Mo ii.”

Tanjiro “Fine. Enough, then.”

堕姫「血鬼術。八重帯斬(やえおびぎ)り！」

Daki “Kekki-Jutsu. Yae-Obi-Giri!”

Daki “Blood Demon Art… Eight-Layered Obi Slash!”

堕姫（さぁ止まれないでしょ、馬鹿だから。逃げ場の無い交叉(こうさ)の一撃。花街を支配するために分裂していた私の体。一つに戻ったら、その速度は比じゃないのよ。血鬼術でもない攻撃で手一杯だったアンタじゃ、もう無理。お終いね、さよなら。その鈍(なまくら)ごと、斬ってあげる。アタシは柱の方に行くから――）

Daki (Now, you can’t stop this, can you? It’s because you’re an idiot! This interweaving attack leaves you with nowhere to run. The parts of my body that were split off to take control of this Hanamachi… Now that I’m whole again, my speed is in a class of its own! You could barely hold your own against my non-Blood Demon Art attacks, so you have no chance now. It’s all over for you, isn’t it? Farewell! I’m going to slash you, dull sword and all! And now, I’ll be making my way to that Hashira!)

Daki (That hurts! What is this pain? It’s like a burning pain where I received that slash! I can’t regenerate like I’m supposed to! But his wounds must be deep, too! Making such violent moves would normally rupture his body on the spot!)

堕姫（そもそも何で私の帯が斬られるの？硬度も上がってるのよ。指先が震える。これは私？無惨様？）

Daki (Somo-somo nande watashino obiga kirareruno? Kodomo agatteru-noyo. Yubi-sakiga furueru. Korewa watashi? Muzan-sama?)

Tanjiro (Yawara-kainda. Yawaraka-sugite kire-nai. Shinatte zangeki’o yuruyakani sareta.)

Daki “I won’t let you get away! You ugly, vile brat!”

Tanjiro (Obiga fueta… Ju-san-bon. Yokeruto mata higaiga hirogaru-kamo shire-nai. Demo nan-daro? Sugoku osoina.)

Tanjiro (There are more Belts now. Thirteen of them. If I dodge them, they might wreak even more havoc. But for some reason… they’re awfully slow.)

堕姫「斬らせないから、今度は!! さっきアタシの頚に触れたのは偶然よ!! ハッ」

Daki “Kirase-nai-kara, kondowa!! Sakki atashino kubini fureta-nowa guzen-yo!! Ha.”

Daki “I won’t let you cut me! Not this time! Making contact with my neck just now was just a fluke!”

堕姫（鎬(しのぎ)で受け流された帯が一か所に…）

Daki (Shinogide uke-naga-sareta obiga ikkasho-ni…)

Daki (Huh? The Belts he warded off with his sword ridge are now pinned in one spot!)

堕姫「それで止めたつもり？弾き飛ばしてやる！」

Daki “Sorede tometa tsumori? Hajiki-tobashite-yaru!”

Daki “You really think you’ve stopped me? I’ll blow you away!”

堕姫（帯を張って、しならせずに斬る気か。まばたきする間に帯は伸ばせるのよ。そんな一瞬でこれだけの距離をどうにかできるわけ…）

Daki (Obi’o hatte, shina-rasezuni kiru kika. Mabataki suru-mani obiwa nobaseru-noyo. Sonna isshunde kore-dakeno kyori’o donika dekiru-wake…)

Daki (You think you can pull them tight so you can slash them? But I can let them loose in the blink of an eye! There’s no way you can overcome this distance in an instant―)

堕姫（えっ？斬られた？速っ…）

Daki (E? Kirareta? Haya…)

Daki (Huh? He slashed them? So fast!)

炭治郎（単純なことだ。しなるよりも尚速く刀を振り抜いて斬ればいい。今度はいける。斬れる）

Tanjiro (Tanjunna kotoda. Shinaru-yorimo nao hayaku katana’o furi-nuite kireba ii. Kondowa ikeru. Kireru.)

Daki “That’s right. Your wounds won’t be healing any time soon, so no wonder you’ve ended up like this.”

炭治郎（構えろ、刀を）

Tanjiro (Kamaero, katana’o.)

Tanjiro (Wield your sword!)

堕姫「お返しに、アンタも頚を斬ってやるわよ」

Daki “Okaeshini, antamo kubi’o kitte-yaru-wayo.”

Daki “I’ll return the favor by slicing your head off!”

竈門禰豆子「ウ゛――ッ！ ヴ―――――ッ！」

Kamado Nezuko “Uuuuuuu! Uuuuuuuuuuuu!”

堕姫「よくもやったわね！アンタ…!! そうアンタ！アンタなのね！あの方が言ってたのは、アンタなのね！」

Daki “Yokumo yatta-wane! Anta…!! So, anta! Anta-nanone! Ano kataga itteta-nowa, anta-nanone!”

Daki “You have a lot of nerve doing that to me! You! Right, it’s you! It’s you, isn’t it? The one he was talking about was you, huh?”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

鬼舞辻無惨「堕姫。私の支配から逃れた鬼がいる。珠世のように。見つけて始末してくれ。お前にしか頼めない。麻の葉文様の着物に市松柄の帯の娘だ」

Kibutsuji Muzan “Daki. Watashino shihai-kara nogareta oniga iru. Tamayono-yoni. Mitsukete shimatsu-shite-kure. Omaeni-shika tanome-nai. Asano-ha-mon’yono kimononi ichi-matsu-garano obino musumeda.”

Muzan Kibutsuji “Daki… There’s a demon who slipped from my grasp. Just like Tamayo. Find her and get rid of her. You’re the only one I can turn to. She’s a girl clad in a kimono with a hemp leaf pattern, and a checkered belt.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

禰豆子「ううっ！」

Nezuko “Uu!”

堕姫「ええ勿論(もちろん)。嬲(なぶ)り殺して差し上げます。お望みのままに…!!」

Daki “Ee mochiron. Naburi-goroshite sashi-age-masu. Onozomino mamani…!!”

Daki “Yes! Of course I’ll be happy to torture her to death! As you wish!”

炭治郎「ゴホッ、あっ…」

Tanjiro “Goho, a…”

禰豆子「ううっ！」

Nezuko “Uu!”

堕姫「蹴るしか能が無いのか!! 雑魚鬼(ざこおに)が!!」

Daki “Keru-shika noga nai-noka!! Zako-oniga!!”

Daki “Is kicking the only thing you know? You damn bottom-feeder demon!”

禰豆子「んっ！んんっ！」

Nezuko “N! Nn!”

堕姫「弱いわね。大して人を喰ってない。何であの方の支配から外れたのかしら？」

Daki “Yowai-wane. Taishite hito’o kutte-nai. Nande ano katano shihai-kara hazuretano-kashira?”

Daki “Could you be any weaker? I can see that you’ve hardly devoured any humans. I wonder how you managed to escape his control.”

堕姫「可哀想に。胴体が泣き別れになってるでしょ。動かない方がいいわよ。アンタみたいな半端者(はんぱもの)じゃ、それだけの傷、すぐには再生できないだろうし。同じ鬼だもの。もういじめたりしないわ。帯に取り込んで、朝になったら日に当てて殺してあげる。鬼同士の殺し合いなんて、時間の無駄だし…」

Daki “Kawaisoni. Dotaiga naki-wakareni natteru-desho. Ugoka-nai-hoga iiwayo. Anta-mitaina hanpa-monoja, sore-dakeno kizu, sugu-niwa saisei-deki-nai-daroshi. Onaji oni-damono. Mo ijime-tari shinaiwa. Obini tori-konde, asani nattara hini atete koroshite-ageru. Oni-doshino koroshiai-nante, jikanno muda-dashi…”

Daki “You poor thing! Your torso and lower body went their separate ways, didn’t they? You’d better not move. A half-developed demon like you can’t possibly regenerate right away, I’m sure. We’re both demons, after all. I won’t bully you anymore. I’ll absorb you into my Belt, and when morning comes, I’ll kill you by exposing you to the sun! Demons killing each other… Such a waste of time!”

堕姫（は？ちょっと待ってよ。何なの？足が再生してるんだけど。足どころか…何で立ってるの？さっき体切断したわよ。手応えがあったもの。切ったのは間違いない）

Daki (Ha? Chotto matteyo. Nan-nano? Ashiga saisei-shiterun-dakedo. Ashi-dokoroka… Nande tatteruno? Sakki karada setsudan-shita-wayo. Tegotaega atta-mono. Kitta-nowa machigai-nai.)

Daki (Huh? Hold on a second. What’s this? She’s regenerated her leg. Never mind her leg, How can she be standing? I know I just severed her body! I know that I felt it! I slashed her for sure!)

禰豆子「んっ、んん…んっ！」

Nezuko “N, nn…N!”

堕姫（今の回復再生、速度は――上弦に匹敵する）

Daki (Imano kaifuku-saisei, sokudowa――Jogenni hitteki-suru.)

Daki (Her healing and regeneration speed… is… Upper Rank caliber.)

禰豆子「んんっ！」

Nezuko “Nn!”

堕姫（何この圧迫…威圧感。急に変わった）

Daki (Nani kono appaku… Iatsu-kan. Kyuni kawatta.)

Daki (What is this cruelty? This intimidating air? She changed all a sudden.)

竈門竹雄「兄ちゃん。兄ちゃんと姉ちゃんは、よく似てるよな。優しいけど、怒ると怖い。姉ちゃん昔… 小さい子にぶつかって怪我させたガラの悪い大人にさ、謝ってくださいって怒ってさ。その時は周りに大人が大勢いたから良かったけど、怖かった、俺。人のために怒る人は、自分の身を顧(かえり)みない所があるから。そのせいでいつか、大切なものを失くしてしまいそうだから、怖いよ」

Kamado Takeo “Niichan. Niichanto neechanwa, yoku niteru-yona. Yasashii-kedo, okoruto kowai. Neechan mukashi… chiisai koni butsukatte kega-saseta garano warui otona-nisa, ayamatte-kudasaitte okottesa. Sono Tokiwa mawarini otonaga oozei ita-kara yokatta-kedo, kowakatta, ore. Hitono tameni okoru hitowa, jibunno mi’o kaeri-minai tokoroga aru-kara. Sono seide itsuka, taisetsuna mono’o nakushite-shimai-so-dakara, kowaiyo.”

Takeo Kamado “Big Bro… You and our sister sure take after each other. You’re gentle but scary when you get mad. Like our sister… when that rough-looking grown-up bumped into a kid and hurt him, she got in his face, asking him to apologize. I mean, luckily there were tons of grown-ups around, but… it was scary. For me. Since people who get mad for others tend not to have any regard for their own safety. And because of that, they may lose something precious someday. That scares me.”

禰豆子「ううっ！」

Nezuko “Uu!”

堕姫（また蹴り…!!）「馬鹿の一つ覚えね!! 次は頚よ!!」

Daki (Mata keri…!!) “Bakano hitotsu-oboene!! Tsugiwa kubi-yo!!”

Daki (Another kick?) “You’re a one-trick pony, aren’t you? Your neck is next!”

禰豆子「ううっ！」

Nezuko “Uu!”

堕姫「うあああっ」

Daki “Uaaa.”
