BASARA by Tamura Yumi Source: Volume 15 Translated: Dianne Dimabuyo (DiDi) Crimson Chapter 8 . Talent -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: BASARA is owned by Tamura Yumi and Shogakukan. This is a fan translation and no money is made off of this. Notes: These translations are *loose* translations. I've translated them so they make sense, not as much as you may understand everything word-for-word. Why? One, it doesn't always make too much sense. Two, I've been told I can be too strict on it sometimes, and I should just translate to vernacular. Mind you, I'm still trying to be as accurate as possible. If you've found a translation that is closer to the dictionary meaning, yet still makes sense, please don't hesitate to inform me. Thanks. : text in bubbles <> sound {} translator's additional notes.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- [[PAGE 3]] ---------- Crimson Chapter 8 .

With the beautiful water, an abundant land If you close your eyes, there's a world you can see. ----------- [[PAGE 36]] ----------- I thought that I'd become oniichan that I'd fulfill our dream but I am Sarasa Always, no matter when I am Sarasa The dream was my dream ----------- [[PAGE 37]] ----------- The desire was my desire ----------- [[PAGE 38]] ----------- Shuri: You're still carrying this.

I'll clean this all up soon. ----------- [[PAGE 43]] ----------- ChaCha: It's almost dawn. Hayato: It's good coming in in this boat. ChaCha, this is unreasonable. ChaCha: If only Ageha had come this time, ne. He said we were being unreasonable, but... Sarasa: Are.. ChaCha? Hayato: Tatara!? ChaCha: Tatara! Sarasa: I'm sorry. I got you worried. Sarasa: Saa. Let's get back to the fight. ChaCha: ....Ah.... Yeah. Hayato: Who fell hard? Hayato: That's just like Ageha, huh? (It's pretty embarassing running into everybody) Sarasa: Ageha? ----------- [[PAGE 44]] ----------- Ageha: That's why! Decide quickly! (arrow: Ageha) Ageha: How about binding an alliance between Kantou and Tatara! Touhoku - Kadzuno Silhouette: What--- I'm thinking hard on it. Silhouette: What. Silhouette: What do we get out of it? Silhouette: Let's say, you defeat the king of Japan, it'll become a new country. Silhouette: What if I deal with both sides, and then let them play it out Damnit! Ageha: Everyone, let's look at Ageha: the main idea ----------- [[PAGE 45]] ----------- Ageha: Masunaga-san, your grandfather was quickly thrown into his grave. Masunaga: Excuse me. If the snow falls, the people in this area would feel safer. Ageha: But what are you in a hurry for? Masunaga: Do I even have motive for getting into a quick alliance? Ageha: So we can live life to the fullest as soon as we can. Ageha: It's getting shorter while we live. Ageha: Raizou-chan. The talk we've been waiting for is still in progress. (Hmmmmmmmm. But it's cold) (The journalist, Taro-chan) Taro: The northern people are pretty stubborn. Declaring an alliance with Touhoku to the king is absolutely necessary Rescuing Tatara and the others from annihilation -----------there's nothing but that! ----------- [[PAGE 46]] ----------- The sun rose The sand looked deceiving (Wah---- Oh-----) Off-shot: It's the Red Army! The time we stopped Off-shot: Go after them! Red Army: Retreat! Retreat-- they poured out. ChaCha: The Red Army's rapidly retreating into the dessert Kakujii: It must have been a scheme to let them go from the city. Today I have a feeling I'm going to meet the Red King ----------- [[PAGE 47]] ----------- Sarasa: Kakujii, you don't seem to be in high spirits. (I wonder why) Kakuji: What'd you say? Kakujii: It's pretty eery how they came out with such great power. I wonder what's going on. ChaCha: ............... Saa, ne. Nakijin: Shuri. How far are we retreating? Nakijin: The ground's changing from sand to rock. Shuri: Nakijin. What are your plans for the future? ----------- [[PAGE 48]] ----------- Nakijin: I'm going to be a politician like oniisan. Shuri: You'll protect Okinawa. -------Is that it? Shuri: I'm going to be the king of Japan. Shuri: That's not all, though. It's pretty trivial being just like my old man. Shuri: That's why, I want to build a new nation. Shuri: For that sake, first, I'll travel throughout the world and try to establish trade. I'll take Sarasa along And we'll go looking around the world Shuri: Yosh. Split up into two groups. Nakijin: In such little numbers? Shuri: That's just it! Follow Sakaki! Shuri: I'm best prepared today! (hahahahaha) (I always am) Nakijin: What's he so happy about...? (We might lose) ----------- [[PAGE 49]] ----------- The Red Army escaped We're chasing after them Still escaping ChaCha: This is never going to end. Without a strategy, we can't do anything but run. Hayato: But even so Hayato: They couldn't have gotten far in this narrow place ----------- [[PAGE 50]] ----------- A narrow place... The spaces are too enclosed to move about in There can't be anything firm Looking at other angles right now... We're at a disadvantage from running away. We're taking the bait... Sarasa: RETREAT! Sarasa: Don't go further! It's a trap!! Tatara's order was one breath fast Following that a troop from the Red Army appeared It was just in time to prepare us even a little ----------- [[PAGE 51]] ----------- Off-shot: Ch. Off-shot: Do you see him? That's... the Red King!? (Wah! Wah!) He's coming! It's Tatara. ----------- [[PAGE 52]] ----------- Come!! It's alright. My heart is quiet. To think ...it's the Red King. Our swords won't clash again. ----------- [[PAGE 53]] ----------- The beginning of the end!! ----------- [[PAGE 54]] ----------- Sarasa: RED KING Shuri: TATARA! ----------- [[PAGE 55]] ----------- Sarasa: GET READY!! -------------- [[PAGE 56-57]] -------------- I had a dream I was going to kill the Red King The Red King turns around -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://trans.i85.net/ Email: lilasia@hey.to Date: January 16, 2001
