* Rurouni Kenshin Manga Translation *
* Volume three: The reason to act *
* Chapter eighteen: Kenshingumi's reverse attack *
Hyottoko: Woah! Oh...
Megumi: A force generated by the winds of movement hath been maneuvered to
balance off the fire... *He be not the normal band of kenkaku! This man's
real identity wouldst be...*
Hyottoko: (grabbing the barrel on his back) Do not ascend to cloud nine too
hastily!
Kaoru: ! He wishes to refuel the lost oil!
(Kenshin dashes forward but stops in realization of something)
Kenshin: Sanosuke...
Sano: I thank thee for the assistance, however, that piece of meat shall as
mentioned be mine! Deep blushes! I wish to regenerate a afresh battle with
that one!
Kenshin: ... This undeserving one hath understood. The matter shall be
entrusted to thee!
Sano: There wouldst be no hitches! Entrust to me!
Kaoru: Hey! Wherefore all these I-am-cool-thou-art-too! Sano's right leg
hath been gravely injured!
(a barrel smashes to the ground)
Hyottoko: Refuel accomplished! (he opens his mouth) Never hath seen a more
brainless head of likened yours, a injury so greatly burned yet the
insistence to show yourself up!
Sano: Thou art truly he who earns the brainless head, how much longer shall
you imagine the children's art to continue!
(Hyottoko gets angry)
Hyottoko: There be no doubt I must reduce thou all to ashes... (sucks in a
huge draught of air) dare you all call mine most cherished death strike move
as a sideshow skill, children's art -
(clicks his teeth)
Hyottoko: I want you to be holey in burns of fire! (a very big flame)
Beshimi: A massive fire spit-out! Let us see where you wouldst escape to of
now!
Sano: Do not employ these stinking instincts!
(only using minimal blocking, he dashes towards the center of the fire)
Hyottoko: !?
Beshimi: WHAT?
Kenshin: An excellently accurate judgment! Since the route of escape be
blocked, wherefore not travel head-first for the opponent, and thus lessened
all injury opportunities to the lowest percentage...
Sano: (as he reaches into Hyottoko's mouth) HEEEEOOYAAAH!
Hyottoko: Mumhgh huh?
Sano: Pray you lend me the children art's instrumental prop for some time!
(he pulls)
Hyottoko: Hwah... ho... kua...
(Sano pulls an entire sack out of Hyottoko's mouth)
Sano: Hah! Your 'most cherished death strike move' wouldst be this unclean
oil sack.
Hyottoko: Hu... ku...
Sano: Thou hath not a shimmer of victory gleam, honestly surrender and admit
your defeat!
Hyottoko: (noticing something) Thou little patch!... Heheh!
Sano: !
Hyottoko: Thou art the actual one without a shimmer of victory gleam! Both
thy upper limbs hath been blackened to such a state by me, I do not believe
you wouldst utilize the fists to -
(Sano sends him a heel kick)
Hyottoko: HIT ME!?
(he falls backwards)
Sano: A duel do not merely reply upon the curled up punches, there wouldst
be times where the feet come as requirements, however, thy legs be so short,
I myself guesses that you would not clearly understand this point!
(Hyottoko falls to the ground. Sano turns to look at Kenshin)
Sano: 'Twas too teaseful! (thumbs-up)
Kenshin: Big words clad thee still, see how thy entire worthy body hath been
mutilated by burns! (lets out a huff of air)
(holds his hands up)
Kenshin: However, the eventual victory be acquired... no matter how the view
be based on which, no one shall be able to deny thy great powress...
Sano: Art those truly from thy heart!
Megumi: ... how powerful... Who wouldst the two of these be... ?
Kaoru: I hath spoken, you do not understand them! They would be the most
entrusted and cherished - fellow in hand!
(Megumi looks at her)
Kaoru: (running towards Sano who has Kenshin off the floor by his collar)
There be no problems in thy flesh?
(Megumi stares at the trio)
Kaoru: Wow! The injuries do not look light! This victory wouldst be won by
strained means!
Kenshin: Surely not so?
Sano: What did thou sayeth - !
Megumi: *Fellow in hand -*
Kenshin: (turning to look at her) - !
Kaoru: By way! (looking at Hyottoko on the ground) What of this fellow now!
Sano: That would be so! How about a pail of water to awaken him!
Beshimi: Darnation... detestable... who would have thought, that Hyottoko
shall be rid of in two thirds of a stroke... shall we eat the humble defeat
yet again... ! (looks to a side) No...
(looking at Megumi)
Beshimi: *Push and pull the words, all these hath been incurred by Takani
Megumi! If thou slut hath not escaped on the day I resumed duties, today
would not have been so...*
(holding a dart)
Beshimi: I do not fathom why Takeda Kanryuu cares so much about you... but
today's frustrations credit to you... *I wouldst not let you scot-free so
simply!*
(Kenshin snapping)
Kenshin: *Killing 'ki'!* Every soul perk up! There be another nearby...
Beshimi: I will now finish you off!
Kenshin: (looks up) Up there!
(Beshimi flicks the dart)
Megumi: !?
(everybody looks on, shocked as the dart flies towards Megumi)
Yahiko: Red alert! (uses his hand to block the dart)
Beshimi: WHAT!
Kaoru: Yahiko!
(Yahiko falls face flat with a bump)
Kaoru: (grabbing his hand) Thou little fellow! How really art thou seven
eights of a chaos and mess, not knowing what be good for you!
Yahiko: 'Tis painful!
Kaoru: However small a dart claims, how shall it be should the heart or
liver accomodate the throw! A danger seen wouldst be well seen as a retreat!
Yahiko: Do not profess foolish utterings! I may not clearly know the ways
things do wave into one, however what Kenshin and Sano wish to accomplish
would be protecting this lady!
(Megumi looking utterly confused)
Yahiko: As a member of the Kenshingumi, let the opponent be as powerful as
he wishes, I myself should lend a hand of help too!
(he starts to try to stand)
Yahiko: Have that more glimmer of confidence in one's disciple canst you...
(His eyes stares in shock and then collapses into the ground)
Kaoru: Huh?
(notices something)
Kaoru: (Yahiko's eyeballs blurring) YAHIKO!
Sano: *There be poison!* Oh no no!
Beshimi: Heheheh! Know mine powress all! That little fellow has no more than
an hour of breath! Lethal poison Rasenbyo! What I myself, Oniwabanshu's
Beshimi cherishes as the proudest move! All shall not leak in the pouring
out of mine poisoned dart doom! You shall be next! Red-haired little -
(his dart faces nowhere)
Beshimi: - freak?
(Kenshin is behind him in the sky)
Beshimi: ! Wah yah!
(as Kenshin smacks him to the ground)
Beshimi: (falling with a bump)
Kenshin: !
(Beshimi's outfit clading only a log)
(Hanya has grabbed Beshimi and is standing in front of Hyottoko)
Hanya: ...
Kenshin: *A sharp sense of dodge... !*
Kaoru: Kenshin! Yahiko he be... he be -
Sano: Yahiko, thou unknowingly foolish fellow! Pull thyself together now!
YAHIKO!
Kaoru: YAHIKO!
(Megumi looks down at Yahiko with indecisive eyes)
Kaoru: YAHIKO!
Kenshin: ...
