Orient 42 “ “What is ahead of this path”
Page 223
Musashi got through the sword’s trial!, the cheering can be hears throughout the Daitou mines!!
Bushi: The soul trial for “enma no oodachi” has been successful!!
Kojirou: Musashi… You are now able to use a kitetsu sword….!
Page 224
Kojirou: I’m so glad… We can fight side by side…
Bushi: Ah, that’s it!
Bushi: You did it, redhead kid!
Kojirou: … Aren’t they making way too much fuss about this?
Kojirou: When I passed my test everyone was way smoother about it.
Tsugumi: It can’t be helped, Kojirou… The light that came out of your tourin was blue, right?
Kojirou: And what’s with that?
Tsugumi: Please look at Musashi’s color.
Kojirou: Musashi’s color? Ah…
Page 225
Kojirou: It’s red, though…
Page 226
Tsugumi: Exactly, kind of a burned red, right? Please remember what you learned during your “sword’s trial”…
Half of the bushi are born with a blue soul, it’s a common color…
In comparison… just a small number of bushi have red color…
It’s an especially powerful color!
An especially powerful color, you say!?
Page 227
Mitsuru: Musashi, that’s a great color!
Musashi: You think so?
Bushi: This deserves a toast, redhead!
Kojirou: …
Kojirou: It’s… all about Musashi, huh!?
Tsugumi: Kojirou… You are sulking because you think you’ve lost to Musashi…
It’s not like you are weak because you got blue, you know…
SFX: Irritated
Kojirou: I passed the test two days before him…
Musashi: Hey, Kojirou
Kojirou: Huh?
Musashi: I have something to tell you…
Kojirou: WHAT IS IT!?
Page 228
Kojirou: What happened…? He’s so serious now…
Musashi: When you went through the “sword’s trial” …
What did you see?
Kojirou: What did I see…?
Page 229
Musashi: Like, something from long ago, or…
Kojirou: Something from long ago?
Kojirou: No, when I took the trial… It was an instant that I didn’t understand very well.
Musashi: I see…
Kojirou: What do you want to tell me?
Musashi: I…. I saw the old man. I saw it the first time I took the “sword’s trial”, but… I didn’t saw him this time…
Kojirou: Why did my father appear to you?
Musashi: The black woman showed him to me. Kojirou…
Page 230
Musashi: That woman might be someone the old man knew.
Kojirou: …!?
Kojirou: Someone he knew… what does that mean?
(TN: loll the panel with the man trying to get Tsugumi to drink sake haha)
Musashi: I don’t know… Didn’t your old man mention something about it in the past?
Page 231
Kojirou: ….!?
Kojirou: No, nothing… My father only left me the legend of the picture scroll and…
His sword and the iron horse…
Musashi: The Iron horse…
Musashi: That’s also something I don’t get very well…
Kojirou: What is what you don’t get about it?
Musashi: The iron horse is a vehicle that the bushi in the outside world use, right?
Musashi: I never saw one inside our town, but… here there’s a lot of them…
Musashi: And I thought…Why did the old man have something like that?...
Kojirou: …
Page 232
Kojirou …!?
Kojirou: No way…
Tsugumi: Kojirou… It’s time to leave… The other bushidan have also started to retreat, you know?
Kojirou: ….
Kojirou: My father…
Was he related in some way to the bushidan in the outside world….?
I always thought he had lived in Tatsuyama all along since he was born, like me…
Kojirou: I wanted to listen more of his stories, but…
Kojirou: My father ended up dying, so it’s never gonna happen…
Kojirou: but…
Page 234
Kojirou: What my father told me about the bushi word… is spreading before my own eyes right now…
If I follow that same path… I might be able to understand something…
Page 235
Tsugumi, Musashi: ….
Musashi: Kojirou is late, what could be he doing?
Tsugumi: He’s brooding about something… Wasn’t he sulking after he watched your “sword’s trial”?
Well, Kojirou… from the beginning he didn’t seem as eager as Musashi to start a bushidan…
Musashi: …
Kojirou: Who’s not eager?
Tsugumi: Woah
Tsugumi: Ah, Kojirou?
Page 236
Musashi: Where were you?
Kojirou: Where…
Kojirou: To get food and other supplies!
Kojirou: You guys should figure out where the next Kishin is aiming at…
Tsugumi: Oh, so he’s motivated?
Kojirou: I also bought a map.
Tusgumi: Huh? You really did it, this is a map.
Musashi: A map!? Let me see!
Tsugumi: Oh… Ohhhhh….!?
Musashi: So this is Hi no moto….!
Page 237
Page 238
Musashi: So cool!
Musashi: It’s the first time that I see it in all its glory!
Musashi: Look Kojirou, it’s *Aki! (TN: Old name for Hiroshima)
Tsugumi: Where’s the Kosameda castle!?
Musashi: Were will we go next!?
Tsugumi: I’m lost… It’s too big… what should we do from this point?
Kojirou: Right now we are in the Daitou mine…
Kojirou: There’s a mountain range that makes it look hard to go past the north. If we go to the west we’ll end up backtracking until our hometown…
That’s why we should go to the east. What do you think?
Page 239
Tsugumi: Oh! I see.
Musashi: You are right….
Musashi: The east… That’s where the “Harima province” is!
Musashi: You are pretty pumped up now, right Kojirou?
Kojirou: Yeah…
Kojirou: I was thinking that I can’t start without getting my stuff together…
Kojirou: There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t know, but… Go taking a look doesn’t sound so bad…
Kojirou: Let’s do it together, our bushidan of three!
Musashi: Yeah…!
Tsugumi: Copy that, captain!
Musashi: Well then, let’s go for the west…
Kojirou, Musashi, Tsugumi: The “Kanemaki Bushidan” is on its way!!
Tsugumi: Oh yeah!
Continues on the next issue “The black gathering”
