Yami no Matsuei Suoodo no K/King of Swords 5 By Matsushita Yoko Translated/Summarized by Theria Translation Key "Quotes" mean that someone is talking. Unformatted text without quotes are narration that often appear in boxes. Italics are someone's thoughts. Smaller font are comments outside of speaking bubbles or thought boxes that are usually handwritten into the manga. {Bracketed items} are comments by translator. [Square bracketed items] are descriptions of something from the manga. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Tsuzuki is down in the refrigerated storage compartment which is filled almost to the ceiling with boxes.] Tsuzuki: "This is the place marked with the 'X' but..." Tsuzuki: "Isn't this just a normal food storage area?" Tsuzuki: This was hidden in the chip's memory. Tsuzuki: Thought it would be something important and such... [Hearing some noises, Tsuzuki walks around a corner.] Tsuzuki: Doesn't look to be a suspicious place [A hand reaches out to Tsuzuki from behind and grabs his shoulder. Turning, that same hand grabs Tsuzuki by the neck.] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tsubaki: "...not" Tsubaki: "human...?" Hisoka: [rebuttoning his shirt] "Strictly speaking, I died when I was 16, about one year ago." Hisoka: "Muraki placed this curse on me four years earlier...During those three years, I was dead." Hisoka: "Those three years after I met him...WERE HELL!!" Hisoka: "The bones in my body grated with intense pain, nightmares plagued me with high fevers!" Hisoka: "Quickly" Hisoka: "I wanted to die!!" Hisoka: "To escape from that pain!!" Hisoka: "But that man" Hisoka: "Wouldn't let me die!!" Muraki: You... Muraki: Are my doll... Hisoka: "Having seen him kill someone, he placed that curse on me..." Hisoka: "Not only stealing that memory but killing me painfully over three years, it was him." Tsubaki: It can't be... Tsubaki: "Bu...But Azumi, aren't you alive before me right now!!" Hisoka: "Shall I tell you? ..." Hisoka: "I'm not Azumi." Those who still hold an attachment to this (living) world are tested bt DaiEnMaOh. Those he approves of, are humans chosen for a special job. They become Shinigamis. If you become a Shinigami, you are given a new flesh body and existence and above all else... You can travel freely between the land of the living and the dead. Hisoka: "If you doubt me I can give you proof." [Hisoka takes up a knife.] Tsubaki: "What are you doing!?" Tsubaki: "Azumi stop!!" [Hisoka runs the knife through his hand.] Tsubaki: "WAAAAAAAA!!" Hisoka: "Look." {Matsushita-sensei: That isn't something you show to someone with a weak heart.} Tsubaki: M...my heart Hisoka: "It will heal in five seconds." Hisoka: "At first I wanted to learn why I was killed." Hisoka: "Obsessed with that, I aspired to become a Shinigami." Hisoka: "But that was wrong...! I understood that when I met Muraki on this ship" Hisoka: the forgotten hatred Hisoka: "That wasn't the reason I became a Shinigami!!" Hisoka: "It was for my revenge" Hisoka: Muraki Hisoka: "That I became a Shinigami!!!" Hisoka: I'll make you remember it! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Something breaks, looks like glass. Tsuzuki's assailant had pushed him into it.] Tsuzuki: Wha... Tsuzuki: What is this guy!! [Tsuzuki is suddenly being drained of his energy.] Tsuzuki: No use. My body... Tsuzuki: Growing numb... Tsuzuki: Move... [Tsuzuki's hand grasps a piece of glass and uses it to slash at the attacker. He put out an eye and it falls to the ground.] Tsuzuki: A metallic sound!!? "Eh!?" [His attacker having leaped away lands.] Attacker: "Now now...What are you doing?" Attacker->Muraki: "It's difficult preserving the optic nerve." Attacker->Muraki: "Tsuzuki-san" [His optic nerve is hanging out of Muraki's right eye!!!] Tsuzuki: Muraki!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hisoka: "I..." Hisoka: "In truth, in order to investigate the mystery on this ship, took Azumi's name..." Hisoka: "Pretended to be a real human..." Tsubaki: Yes... Tsubaki: That's right... Hisoka: "Pretended to be a living human." Tsubaki: Those cold eyes of yours... Hisoka: "Deceiving all of you" Tsubaki: Cold but somehow sad eyes... Hisoka: "I'm sorry...for not telling you... Tsubaki: The hatred toward Sensei and Hisoka: "I'm sorry..." Tsubaki: the silence's Tsubaki: guilt wasn't it... Tsubaki: but... Tsubaki: "How sad..." Tsubaki: "Even after death, hating someone that much..." Tsubaki: "Dragging that pain as the reason for hate" Tsubaki: Even know he hates Sensei... Tsubaki: "...I" Tsubaki: "I feel so sorry for you..." Tsubaki: Living only for revenge Tsubaki: "So sorry..." Tsubaki: But isn't that... Tsubaki: saying that forever you can't escape from that person Tsubaki: proof isn't it... Tsubaki: You are like me... Hisoka: "Just one thing I want to ask." Hisoka: "You" Hisoka: "Know Eileen?" Hisoka: "I have the power to read people's hearts/minds...a psychic power. But because I can't always control it, it sometimes works involuntarily." Hisoka: "You may think bad of me but I read your dream's memories..." Tsubaki: "..." Tsubaki: "Eileen" Tsubaki: "Was my only friend..." Tsubaki: In the past, because of my father's work, I lived in Hong Kong. Tsubaki: Before my room where I always slept alone was a girl selling flowers...that was Eileen. Tsubaki: She always had some left over but... Tsubaki: She would leave a red camellia on my window sill for me Tsubaki: Naturally we... Tsubaki: became Tsubaki: friends Tsubaki: When it was time for me to return to Japan Tsubaki: my father brought my playmate as a dealer Tsubaki: for this ship. Tsubaki: "Those times were fun..." Tsubaki: Ourselves, our families, our dreams for the future Tsubaki: We always talked abou them together Tsubaki: She was Tsubaki: my first friend... Tsubaki: Then suddenly Tsubaki: she disappeared... Tsubaki: "Again I've lost." Tsubaki: "A very important person..." Hisoka: 'Friend' huh? Hisoka: A meaningless word to me. Hisoka: "That was all. Excuse me." Tsubaki: "Wait." Tsubaki: "I haven't heard your name yet." Tsubaki: "You real name!!" Hisoka: "Hisoka..." Hisoka: "Kurosaki Hisoka." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Muraki: "Honestly...it isn't something longer than hair or the like." Muraki: "It's just a matter of time." Tsuzuki: "Muraki you..." Tsuzuki: "You were given poison and died..." Muraki: "I didn't die, Tsuzuki-san." Muraki: "I was only in suspended animation." Tsuzuki: "Suspended animation!?" Muraki: "Since I was a child, in order to build a resistance to poison, I always drank fatal dosages of poison." Muraki: "Mixing it little by little into my food and drink, my body grew used to it." Muraki: "Due to that, my body is no longer affected by any type of poison." Muraki: "Well, this time the amount given was ten times a lethal dosage." Muraki: "That's the reason why in order to recover, all bodily functions had to be lowered to the barest minimum." Tsuzuki: "...." Poison....? Tsuzuki: "Why do such a thing..." Muraki: "Well." Muraki: "It was necessary..." Muraki: "Let's say." Muraki: "Besides Tsuzuki-san, didn't you think that I couldn't have died so simply?" Tsuzuki: "Weell..." Tsuzuki: "Even your pulse disappeared..." Muraki: "Oh my. Were you concerned even just a little bit for me, Tsuzuki-san?" Tsuzuki: "WAS NOT!!! Idiot" {Matsushita-sensei: When did Sensei become such a silly character...} Tsuzuki: "Jeez...what's the idea of attacking in the dark? coward..." Tsuzuki: "That's what I hate about you!!" Muraki: "It couldn't be helped right? In order to completely recover, I needed to drink spiritual energy. If I said so to you would you honestly let me drink it?" Muraki: "Taking it directly by the mouth is the best way, still...we haven't known each for too long so that might be too hasty." {Matsushita-sensei: Muraki is type A in blood and personality.} Tsuzuki: Wicked person... Muraki: "But still..." Muraki: "Your spiritual energy is the very best." Muraki: "Thick and sweet..." Muraki: "Even just a little makes my body rage..." Muraki: "Ne...do you know?" Muraki: "Tsubaki-hime...Is famous for playing with men." Muraki: "She's a whore. You should protect that important boy" Muraki: "So he doesn't get hurt..." Muraki: "Ah, I remember." Muraki: "The skyline of Nagasaki's Mount Inasa..." Muraki: That beautiful foreign city Muraki: The first time I met you... Muraki: "First, I thought just seeing was fine." Muraki: "Seeing your beautiful hair, body" Muraki: "I've wanted to touch them." Muraki: "So even though I do that now...I want you." Muraki: That power Muraki: and body Muraki: "My desire keeps escalating" Muraki: "Driving me crazy" Muraki: Everything... Muraki: "You, a man." Muraki: "Well. Shall we go up?" Muraki: "Should we stay here too long, we'll be frozen." It is minus 30 degrees Celcius. Tsuzuki: "Ah..." [They leave that frightfully intense scene and are back in one of the main corridors. Tsuzuki apparently has told Muraki all that has happened since his 'demise'.] Muraki: "I see...while I was asleep, such a thing happened..." Tsuzuki: "A Seven of Wands was left by the owner's corpse. The meaning is 'threatened'." Tsuzuki: "You don't know anything?" Muraki: "Hmmm..." Muraki: "Well, it seemed that he was being extorted for fraud by Wakabayashi and Hohjou." Muraki: "On this ship, once every month" Muraki: "Name level people come to gamble real money." Tsuzuki: "Fraud!?" [Acha, ikenai. Akiyama walked up behind him and has seen Muraki.] Akiyama: "Se...se...sensei's zombie is..." Tsuzuki: "Akiyama-san!!" Tsuzuki: "There's a deep(?) reason for this!!!" ~ Please wait a moment. ~ Akiyama: "I see. So that's the reason." Akiyama: "Tsubaki-hime is still resting in bed." Muraki: "Her heart won't be able to take both the shock of dying and then coming back to life." Akiyama: "I understand." Akiyama: "Begging your pardon Sensei, your right eye...?" Muraki: "Ah, this? The artificial eye was came out." Tsuzuki: Artificial eye? Muraki: "An accident in the past ruined my right eye." Muraki: "Instead, I have this custom made artificial eye." {Matsushita-sensei: It's special because he can see through it and even close his eye.} Muraki: "Couldn't be trusted to take care of me...Tsuzuki-san." Akiyama: "Is that so?" Akiyama: "You two seem to be such good friends." Tsuzuki: [crying] "Akiyama-san..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Back in the Shinigami Suite :P] Hisoka: "Wakabayashi and Hohjou" Hisoka: "Were threatening the owner?" Tsuzuki: "Ah...perhaps. Wakabayashi had hold over some kind of weakness of the owner." Tsuzuki: "So Wakabayashi wins the games by fraud, getting money illegally." GuShoShin: "Well then, this card..." GuShoShin: "Means that Wakabayashi was threatening the owner." GuShoShin: "But then why kill the owner?" Hisoka: "...to seal his mouth" Hisoka: "perhaps?" Tsuzuki: "...perhaps..." Tsuzuki: That the owner and someone was doing something isn't wrong. Tsuzuki: Wakabayashi learned of it. Tsuzuki: That's why... Tsuzuki: "Oh yeah, Hisoka. I have something I have to tell you..." Hisoka: "...I know." Hisoka: "That guy Muraki" Hisoka: "Is alive." Hisoka: "Your clothes are permeated with his cologne. You met him below probably?" Tsuzuki: "No way!" GuShoShin: "Ah, it's true." Hisoka: "It's no big deal..." Hisoka: "In fact, I'm happy." Hisoka: "Cause now I can get my revenge on him with my own hands." Hisoka: "Until then, him dying would only be troublesome." Tsuzuki: "..." Tsuzuki: Hisoka Tsuzuki: A sixteen-year-old Tsuzuki: Saying words like revenge... Hisoka: "Muraki didn't do anything strange to you did he!!" Tsuzuki: The past with Muraki... Tsuzuki: "eh..." Tsuzuki: "uhh..." Tsuzuki: Doesn't have anything to do with me Tsuzuki: But when you're caught in a nightmare Tsuzuki: "What what? Were you just a little bit worried about me?" Tsuzuki: When you're having hard times... Hisoka: "Are you an IDIOT!?" Tsuzuki: If it's just being by your side... Tsuzuki: It wouldn't be conceited. Tsuzuki: Even if you are only depressed... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Back down in the minus 30 degree Celcius food storage compartment] GuShoShin: "What is it Tsuzuki-san, bringing us here." Hisoka: "But there isn't any suspicious places right?" Tsuzuki: "Ah... but." Tsuzuki: "There's something strange." Tsuzuki: "First time I made a lap around the place, and there was something funny..." Tsuzuki: "I got the feeling it was narrower than on the blueprint..." Tsuzuki: "ah?" [He was leaning against the wall with his elbow which fell into a crack and opened something. Tsuzuki of course fell down.] GuShoShin: "Tsuzuki-san!!" Tsuzuki: "Owowow..." GuShoShin: "There's a hidden room." Hisoka: "...this is...!!" Hisoka: "...so that's it..." [They stand before the entrance of a room in which bodies and body parts are strewn and hung everywhere.] GuShoShin: "This is this ship's..." GuShoShin: "The Queen Camellia's secret..." "UWAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Tsuzuki: "This voice..." Tsuzuki: "It's Abiko-san!!" {Matsushita-sensei: It's a mystery how a scream from the 6th level can be heard down in the food storage compartment.} [Lots of running upstairs. Hisoka bursts into a room.] Hisoka: "Abiko-san!!" [Abiko is being strangled from behind by someone using a thick rope.] Hisoka: "Tsubaki-hime!!" Tsubaki: "..." Tsubaki: "That's wrong!" Tsubaki: [She's let go of Abiko though I don't know if he's still alive now.] Tsubaki: "I'm Eileen." Eh!!? Tsubaki: "That's right..." Tsubaki: "The one betrayed and killed by Tsubaki-hime...Eileen." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Manga Index Next
