Yes,"In regards to the current battle, I"...
……それは、何を書いているんだい？歌を詠むには少々似つかわしくない場所だけれど
...What are you writing? I would say this isn't the most suitable place to write a poem.
ム、歌仙兼定。此レは戦況を記していル。文字で残しておくと便利だ
Hm, Kasen Kanesada. I am recorDING the battle situation. It is useful to put it into written word.
文字を書くことは好ましい。此レも相棒の影響だロウか
I like writing things down. I wonDER if this too is the influence of my partner.
ああ、そういうことなら大いに共感できる。流石は之定の同士
Ah, if that's the case I can greatly sympathise with you. As expected of a fellow Nosada.
が、やってみルと思った以上に難しく、相棒のような力強い筆筋にはほど遠く
However, when I trY it's harder than I thought, and I am far from the strong brushstrokes like those of my partner.
それは、僕ら之定は悪筆だとかなんとか、評判がつきまとっていたからではないだろうか
I wonder if that's because we Nosada have a reputation for having bad handwriting or whatever?
Hm, no wonder I'm having trouble.
まあね。でも、どんなことでも多かれ少なかれ最初は苦労をするものさ
I suppose. But, everyone will have a hard time trying something new, to a degree.
I see. So, did you go through a similar hard time?
ははは。その程度の瑣事でいちいち音を上げていては、文系の名がすたるというもの。……ははは、ははははは
Hahaha. If one admits defeat over such a trifle matter, one would lose his reputation as someone of the arts. ...Hahaha. Hahahahaha.
うム、『……と言うと、朗笑を残し之定の同士は去った』、と
YeS, "...saying such, my fellow Nosada left laughing heartily."

Hm, senpai? You aRE..., Izuminokami Kanesada.
ああ、あんたの茎にもしっかりと刻まれてる和泉守兼定よ
Yeah, I'm an Izuminokami Kanesada just like what's distinctly engraved on your nakago.
之定は先約があるからよ。先輩って呼ばせてもらわあ。文句は、ねえよな？
Nosada's got sort of senior connections with me, you see. I'll call you senpai for that. You don't mind that, eh?
Of course, that's fine. However, what should I call yoU?
Kah! Don't make the sword himself say that, just call me what you'd like.
Hm, in that case, I'll call you kouhai.
...Y-Yeah! That's good, senpai.
YeS, kouhai. Have you been kickING their ass?
おうよ、ぶっ倒してる！和泉守兼定は、かっこ良くて強い！ずーっと流行りの刀だぜ
You bet I've been kicking their ass! I, Izuminokami Kanesada, am cool and strong! I'm a sword that's been in fashion since forever!

うム、かの武蔵坊弁慶の相棒と共に戦えルとは実に光栄
YeS, it truly is an honour to figHT alongside the partner of the famed Musashibou Benkei.
Ohh? I don't think you were someone related to Benkei, but...
此レは鬼武蔵の相棒、人間無骨。此レの相棒は鬼武蔵守長可と名乗り、鬼のように強かったことから鬼武蔵と呼ばレル
I am Oni Musashi's partner, Ningen Mukotsu. My partner bore the name Oni Musashi Nagayoshi, being calLED 'Oni' because he was as strong as one.
Gahahahaha! I see, that's interesting!
瀬田の橋で関所破りをしたことも孕んでいルのだロウが
He alsO carriES the anecdote with him that he destroyed the checkpoint at Seta bridge.
ふふん、橋弁慶に勧進帳だな？ならば、なおのこと結構。武蔵坊弁慶が後の世でも名を馳せる一端がお前の元主にあるならば、縁者も同然
Heheh, those are just like Benkei on the Bridge 1 The Subscription List 2
……うむ、実に嬉しいぞ！今、武蔵坊の薙刀と鬼武蔵の槍がここに揃ったのだからな！
...Yes, I truly am happy! After all, Musashibou's naginata and Oni Musashi's yari have assembled here right now!
うム、此レらが揃えば向かうところ敵無しということだロウ

Fudou Yukimutsu, wE are the only ones here.
...*hic*. The hell, don't talk to me.
Then, I'lL talk to myself.
あの年の初夏、母御は兼山で五人の息子の帰りを待っていた
That year in early summer, his mother was waiting at Kaneyama for her five sons to return.
信長公に同行し京に出向いていた蘭丸、坊丸、力丸からは、夏には休みを貰えるだろうと母御に手紙が届いていた
He got a letter from mother that she heard from Ranmaru, Boumaru, and Rikimaru, who had accompanied Nobunaga on his travels to Kyoto, that they would get time off in the summer.
信長公の算段では天下布武を成し遂げられるところまできていたから
After all, according to Lord Nobunaga he had reached the point where he thought it feasible to achieve the military unification of Japan.
久しぶりに五人揃って兼山に、母御の元で過ごせる夏がくるはずだった
They would spend the summer at Kaneyama as five, together with their mother— or, that was how it was supposed to be.
...The hell, ain't that full of foreshadowing?
今か今かと待ちわびる母御の元へ、本能寺が焼け落ちたとの知らせが届く。三人の息子から手紙を受け取った十日ほど後のことだった
His mother, who was waiting anxiously for her sons to come any moment now, received news that Honnouji Temple burned down. It was ten days later that she received letters from three of her sons.
同じく本能寺からの知らせを受け信濃から命からがら戻った相棒は、母御とともに咽び泣きこの世の理を嘆いた
My partner, who received that same news from Honnouji, returned barely with his life from Shinano, and grieved together with his mother lamenting the workings of the world.
母御と、相棒はこう思っただロウ。……せめてもう一度、会いたかったと
His mother and my partner must'VE thought such. ...That they wanted to see him, even if just one more time.
……あーもう、はっきりと言えばいいだろ！どうせ俺は愛された分を主には返せやしなかったし、この世の理も……断ち切れない……
...Ahh, geez, just say it clearly! I couldn't return how much my master loved me to him anyway, and I can't cut down... the workings of the world...
此レは、相棒の荒々しい戦いと共に語らレル槍。だが今ひと時は、相棒の心を届けル十字の穂先となロウ
I am a spear saID to have accompanied my partner on his fierce battles. However, just for this moment, lET me be be the cross-shaped brushpoint relaying my partner's heart.
……俺は、ダメ刀……。……だけど、これを受けとらなかったらきっと、もっとダメ刀に……なっちまうよな、蘭丸
I'm... a good-for-nothing sword... But, if I didn't accept those words, I'm sure I'd be a sword... good for even less, wouldn't I, Ranmaru?

What a great view! The gun barrels are all lined up up front!
初めて鉄砲が組織的に使われた戦いかあ。この頃の火縄銃の命中率が高かったら、刀の時代はもっと早く終わっていたかもしれないなあ
The first battle in which guns were used in an organized way, huh. If the accuracy of the matchlock guns in this age had been higher, the age of swords may have ended much earlier.
当たらないからこその鉄砲三千挺。戦は刀と槍で戦うもん……だしっ？ 恐ろしいことを言うなあ、大般若長光
Precisely because they don't hit, they've got 3000 musketeers. War is fought with spears and swords... wasn't it? You say some scary things, Daihannya Nagamitsu.
ははっ。知ったかぶりが過ぎたかな？ 俺こそ足利将軍家……信長公に、家康公。それに、今頃長篠城に籠っている信昌公の……って、宝物だった期間のほうが長いんだけれどね
Haha. Did I act too much like a know-it-all? I've been in the hands of the Ashikaga shogunate... And passed from Lord Nobunaga, to Lord Ieyasu. Besides, I was also in the hands of the one currently holed up in Nagashino Castle, Lord Nobumasa... Well, I suppose I've spent more time as a treasure.
ここで刀の時代が終わっても、出番はなくならないって？
Even if the age of swords would end here, you'd still have a part to play, is that what you're saying?
違う使われ方になったとしても、残るべきものは残ると信じたいね
Even if their use changes, I want to believe that the things that should remain are passed down.
Haa, as expected of Mister 600 Kan. The things you say are on a whole other level.
My, that's one sharp tongue.
あ～、硝煙と爆ぜる火薬の熱に浮かされたかな？ ここでそんなことを言っていたら、残るべきものではない方になってしまうかもっ
Ahh~, did the smell of gunsmoke and exploding gunpowder get to your head? If you say something like that here, you might become something that's not worthy of being passed down.
Is that condescension? Even as a joke... it's somewhat in bad taste.
……けっこうな本気っ？ 刀剣男士も残るべきものと、そうでないものがあるのかもしれない
...I'm pretty legit? Even among the Touken Danshi, there may be ones worth passing down and ones not worth passing down.
ようし！ それじゃあ俺は、信長公があっという間に完勝してしまうと困るから、これから武田軍を応援しに行こうかな
Alright! Then, since it'd be a problem if Lord Nobunaga wipes the floor here all too soon, I suppose I'll go cheer on the Takeda army.
...Huh, even though your former master is risking his life on the frontlines?
なあに、あの方はこんなところでは終わらないし、苦労して大成してくれないと面白くないだろう？
What, that man won't find his end here, and it wouldn't be interesting if he didn't have to give it his all to win, would it?
それに、べきべきでない、らしいらしからぬ、なんてことを言っていたら……、本当に美しいものとの出会いを逃すからね
Besides, if you just go on about shoulds and shouldn'ts, fitting and not fitting..., you'll miss out on encountring the truly beautiful things.
That's because I'm Daihannya Nagamitsu, spoken of in the same breath as a value of 600 kan.
Alright, I'm gonna go cheer on the Takeda troops too!
Haha. I'm glad you could adjust so quickly.
...'Ones not worth passing down', huh.

I heard you originated from Saiga, Hacchou Nenbutsu.
Well, I guess? You have ties to the Kishu region too?
時代としては少し後だが、山のほうに縁がある。雑賀衆の話は有名だ
It's from a little later than your time, but I actually have ties to the mountain. The story of the Saiga Renegades is pretty famous.
そりゃあ、知ってくれてるのは嬉しいけど。……眼差しがやたら眩しいような
Well, I'm kinda glad you know about me, but... The look in your eyes is kinda dazzling.
……うっ、馬の上で鉄砲は撃てるのかっ！？ 雑賀の鈴木孫市は、どんな場所からでも鉄砲を撃てたのだろう！？
...C-Can you really fire a gun riding a horse?! Suzuki Magoichi of the Saiga could fire a gun from anywhere, couldn't he?!
わ、びっくりした！ え～っと……、君が多分思い描いているのは伝説化したキラキラ雑賀で、俺の確かな主は～……
Wah, you surprise me! Uhhhh, the Saiga you're imagining must be the super sparkly Saiga after being made into legends, my actual master...

Aaa~aaa~aa~ah........, he could!
I see, so you can really fire a gun atop of a horse!
本当か！ 本当に真田左衛門佐信繁も撃っただろうか！
Really! I wonder if Sanada Saemonnosuke Nobushige fired like that too!
...Yeah. I'm sure he did.

It seems like the History Retrograde Army has mixed in with the Eastern army.
やっぱ意味わかんねーな。東軍はほっといても勝つんだから、なんの歴史も変わらねーだろ
I still don't get it. The Eastern army's gonna win even if you leave them alone, so history ain't changing by doing this.
それでも、彼らにとっては意味があることなんでしょう
Even so, to them, this must hold some sort of meaning.
あー、やめだやめ。ごちゃごちゃわかんねーこと考えて、よそ事してっと折れっからな
Ahh, give it a rest. If you think about these kinds of nonsense and meddle in other's affairs, you're gonna end up breaking.
You are a very clear person, Doudanuki Masakuni.
Huh? Why're you saying that as if it's somebody else's business?
まあいい、行こうぜ。知ることも大事だが、俺たちはここに戦いに来たんだ
Forget it, let's go. Knowing stuff is important, but we came here to fight.

Ahh, so they're on top of the mountain...
Doudanuki-dono? ...It can't be helped, let's wait for him.
There ya go, it's a persimmon.
I couldn't stand it if you were to drop down propped up with that pale-as-an-unripe-gourd face of yours.
...So I was making that kind of face, was I not?
俺はなんも見てねーし、事情も知らねーし、興味もねーから。さっさと食えよ
I ain't seen anything, I'nno your situation either, nor'm I interested. Hup, put you teeth in it.
What a refreshing lie, haha...
Huh? My bad, was it a sour persimmon? Haha.
ちげーちげー、わざとじゃねえよ。油断した。……はははっ、ほら水
No, no, it wasn't on purpose. I let my guard down. ...Hahaha, here, have some water.
あー、処刑場は娯楽だなんだで人も多いが、出店も出てる。後で口直しに寄ろうぜ。詫びだ、奢る
Ahh, there's lots of people at the execution site for entertainment and whatnot, but there's also stalls. Let's stop by them for a palate cleanser later. It's my treat, as apology.
いえ、結構。この渋柿は持って帰って干し柿にしましょう。お山の上に供えにでも行きましょうか
Thank you for the offer, but I won't need it. Let's bring these sour persimmons back and make dried persimmons out of them. Shall we head to the top of the mountain and make an offering?
I'm alright now. Thank you, Tanuki-san.
Huh?! What're you calling me that for?!

Big brother Ishida, look.
It's an execution platform. I wonder if they're going to test a blade soon.
少し見て行ってもいいかな？御様御用が出るようだし、どこかの大名が正宗を持ち込んだみたいだ
Can I go over to have a look? It looks like they have a sword tester, and some daimyo has brought a Masamune.
本当に？私たち正宗は、本来ならこのような場には縁がない
Really? Under normal circumstances, we Masamune shouldn't have a connection to a place like this.
They might be doing the blade testing knowing from the start that it's a fake.
それはずいぶんと勇気のある人がいたものだね。斬れても、斬れなくても
That person must have quite some guts. Whether it can, or cannot cut through.
おおっと、前座は虎徹だ。でも、あの刀、ずいぶんと立派な姿をしているけど……あれは
Oho, the opening act is a Kotetsu. But, though that sword does have a quite fine sugata (shape)... That's a...
ああ、良く似た偽物だな。なまくらな気配が漂ってくる
Yes, it's a fake that resembles one quite closely. You can sense the dullness in the blade.
This blade-testing is going to be an upset. I'm sure they won't even make it to the Masamune.
それが狙いなのかもしれない。正宗は試さない、そこにあると知られることが重要だから
That might be their goal. They won't test the Masamune, because they need only make known that it is there.
Let's go, Hyuuga. There's no value in watching it.

...Ahh, you came to call me, didn't you? Since I don't have any connections to this battle, I won't suddenly run off, so I'd be happy if you could lower your blade.
では、気迫だけか。すごいね、さすがは本物の虎徹だ。君はよく斬れるんだろうね
Then, it was just your tenor... Amazing, as expected of a genuine Kotetsu. I'm sure you must be able to cut well.
My excuses for making you wait. Now, let's go.
