...Speaking of fabric, how am I supposed to wash you?[a] |
Hat |
・・・・・ |
..... |
Tsubakura |
だんまりかい、独り言になっちゃうじゃない・・・ |
The silent treatment? Great, now I'm just talking to myself... |
??? |
あんなに空が曇ってちゃ・・・ |
With the sky around here being so cloudy... |
Tsubakura |
あぁん? |
Wha? |
Jun Amanomiya ENTERS | ||
??? |
洗濯物が乾かなくて難儀だろうに |
It'll be difficult to dry your laundry in the rain, you know? |
Tsubakura |
干し柿も碌なのが作れないだろうに |
It'll be tough to make dried persimmons worth a darn, too. |
??? |
しかしこんなところに空飛ぶ人間とは、 |
That aside, there's really a flying human 'round these parts? |

That was way too easy. The incident's over! Fin~! |
Jun |
それでもわちはやってないんじゃ・・・ |
But I haven't done anything, though... |
Tsubakura |
折角だから、人里に寄って |
Well, I'm already out here, |
Jun |
このまま放っとくんかい |
You're just going to leave things like this? |

Tsubakura |
そろそろツッコミするけど、 |
I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble here, but why are the trees moving? |
Tsubakura |
迷わせたいのかねぇ、実際迷っちゃいそうだが |
Are they trying to make me get lost or something? I mean, it's working, but still. |
Tsubakura |
ウザったいから、一段落したら |
'S pretty annoying, so maybe I ought to just cut them all down~? |
??? |
お前か! 潤に悪いことをしたのは! |

Oh, all right. |
Tsubakura |
そりゃ良い案だ、健闘を祈る |
Great plan you got there. I wish you luck in battle. |
Shou |
だから止まれって、宵の仇っ! |
So hold it, already! I'm gonna get revenge for Jun![b] |
Tsubakura |
あ、やっぱり死んでたんだ、あれ |
Oh. They died after all, then. |
Shou |
死んでてたまるか! 縁起でもない! |
Like hell they'd die! Don't jinx them like that! |
Tsubakura |
確かに演技ではなさそうだな、 |
You sure don't seem to be acting. |

Lumen Celeritas EXITS | ||
Tsubakura |
こんなことなら里の近くの雨降り妖怪やら,座敷童やらを適当に弾くんだったな |
If I knew this was gonna happen, I ought've shot down that |
Tsubakura |
けどもうすぐ里だな、 |
But, welp, the village should be right up here. |
??? |
犯人発見っ! |
Culprit spotted! |
Tsubakura |
なんで俺の周りはこんなのばっかなんだ? |
Why am I always surrounded by people like this. |
Lumen Celeritas ENTERS | ||
??? |
類は友を呼ぶ・・・、 |
Birds of a feather flock together... |
Tsubakura |
的を得ているかもな、案外 |
Huh. Actually, you might've hit the bull's-eye with that. |
??? |
こんなところに空飛ぶ人間・・・怪しい限りねぇ |
A human flying around in a place like this... you're definitely suspicious. |

Lumen |
何か怖いことを想像してないかい? |
I feel like you're imagining something terrifying?? |
Tsubakura |
いやいや、気にせず蒸留されてくれ |

Lumen Celeritas DEFEATED | ||
Tsubakura |
ん? そういえば向こうの方、全然晴れてないな |
Hm? Now that I look at it, it's still cloudy over that way. |
Lumen |
少なくとも、あの曇り空はそこいらの妖怪の力を |
At the very least, the cloudy sky over there far surpasses |
Tsubakura |
へぇ、詳しいじゃん |
Huh. You sure know a lot. |
Lumen |
えっへん |
Ehehe. |
Tsubakura |
じゃあ、そのまま頑張って解脱しろよー |
Welp, you just do your thing and ascend to Nirvana already. |
Lumen |
輪廻から外れた者に、そもそも解脱なんてないさ・・・ |
Those cast out from the cycle of reincarnation can't ascend in the first place... |
Tsubakura |
お前は莫迦なのか阿呆なのか、 |
Are you an idiot, or are you just plain stupid? |

It's gotten real dark, even though it's not |
Tsubakura |
第一、どこに向かえばいいんだか |
For starters, where should I even go? |
Tsubakura |
雲の下を適当に行けば何か見つかると思ったが |
I figured if I just flew beneath the clouds, I'd find something, but... |
??? |
ややっ! 迷えるなんとか発見! |
My, my! I spy a stray such-and-such! |
Hibaru Kokutenshi ENTERS | ||
Tsubakura |

I don't really like lamb meat, since it stinks... |
??? |
おややのや? |
Oh, what's this, what's this? |
Tsubakura |
人間だって迷子になるぞ? |
Even humans can wander astray, you know? In this labyrinth we call lif—[f] |

人の台詞を遮るなって、 |
Didn't the buddha Mahavairocana ever tell you |
陽気な取立て屋 |
Cheerful Debt Collector | |
Hibaru |
失礼、なにぶんセッカチが取り柄なもんで |
My apologies. Impatience is something I take pride in, after all. |
Tsubakura |
短所と捉えた方が、長所と成り得るんだがな |
I mean, it'd reflect much better on you if you took it as one of your flaws. |
Hibaru |
こちとら取立てで忙しい日々なんでね、 |
I'm quite busy collecting the debts people owe us, you see. |
Tsubakura |
鳥の取立てやねぇ・・・ |
A bird debt collector, huh... |
Tsubakura |
それとも略して鳥取だから? |
Or maybe we can just shorten "bird debt collector", "tori no toritate"... You from Tottori? |
Hibaru |
貴方も[j]お金にお困りでしたらどうぞウチの金融会社へ! |
It seems you're having money trouble. By all means, pay our financing company a visit! |
Tsubakura |
随分と勤労意欲のある営業方法だな、 |
Quite the work-dedicated business method you've got there. |
Hibaru |
あぁそうだ、そんなことより |
Oh, that's right. Besides that, |
Tsubakura |
お前の頭の中は随分と良い天気なんだな |
The weather in your head must be real nice, huh? |
Hibaru |
あの人は昔っからの常連様なんだけど |
They've been a regular patron since a long time ago, |
Tsubakura |
御天道様なら見ての通り、 |
If you're looking for the sun, it's hiding |
Hibaru |
なんと! まさか夜逃げするとは・・・ |
My word! To think it would flee under the cover of night...! |
Tsubakura |
なかなかユニークな洒落だとでも思ったのか? |
Did you think that was a nice, inspired joke or something? |
Hibaru |
それでは、貴方が立て替えるということで |
Now, with that, I'll have you pay the debt on its behalf. |
Tsubakura |
なるほど、つまり誰でもいいってことね |

Hibaru |
ひぇ〜、お強い方でしたか、 |
Eeek, you were a tough customer?! |
Tsubakura |
お前みたいな奴に取り立てを任せる |
I can hardly imagine what your company was thinking, |
Hibaru |
何を!? こう見えても |
Excuse me?! Despite my appearance, |
Tsubakura |
どこから見ればそう見えないのか、 |
Just what part of you doesn't look like that? |

ひどいやっちゃー |
That was awful of ya... |
Tsubakura |
まぁ御天道様を取り戻しにきた訳だから |
Well, I am here to restore the sun, |
??? |
なんだい、やっぱり正義の味方様じゃーないか、 |
What? So yer on the side of justice after all! |
Tsubakura |
お前も単純な奴だな、その他大勢と同じで |
You're a simpleton, huh. Much like most others. |
??? |
うんにゃ、よく言われるっちゅー、えへっ |
Eeyep, I get that a lot! Heheh. |
Tsubakura |
その単純に免じて |
Mind letting me pass, then, |
??? |
残念ながら単純にダメー |
Sorry t'say it, but that's simply not happenin'! |
Tsubakura |
そんな立て札どこにも見当たらないが? |
I don't recall seeing any notice boards to that effect? |
??? |
そんなものは今から創るっちゃー |
Well, I can craft one up right now! |
Tsubakura |
出来上がるまで待ってるとでも思うのか? |
Do you seriously think I'll wait around until you're done? |

ご名答、僕があっちゅー間に創ったもんにゃー |
Correct indeed! I made the whole thing in only a moment'sh time, nyah! |
Tsubakura |
そりゃ随分と手抜き工事で |
Guess you must've cut a lot of corners while building it, then. |
Sukune |
手抜きなんてとんでもにゃい、 |
Cut cornersh?! Ya got some nerve! |
Tsubakura |
確かに、土で家を作るなんて無駄に凄い手間だな、 |
Making a whole house out of dirt is some stupidly impressive |

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Tsubakura is looking up at their hat for this line.
- ↑ The Japanese text actually says "revenge for Shou" instead of "for Jun", this has been confirmed to be an error by JynX but remains to be fixed in-game.[1]
- ↑ Tsubakura's phrase yuugen jikou, mugen jikou (有限実行、無限実行, lit. "limited action, limitless action") is a pun on the sayings yuugen jikou (有言実行, lit. "put your words into action") and fugen jikou (不言実行, lit. "take action without idle talk").
- ↑ Pun on hakkou (発光, "light-emitting") and hakkou (発酵, "fermentation")
- ↑ Pun on "lamb" and "rum", both pronounced ramu (ラム) in Japanese.
- ↑ This line is imitated by Yabusame in their Neutral scenario in Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle.
- ↑ Meant to be the sound of a skylark's cry. Can also be read as ri toru (利取る, "take debt"), in line with folklore about the sun owing debt to a skylark, which Hibaru is based on.
- ↑ Ichi-shō kashite ni-to toru (一升貸して二斗取る) literally means "lend one shou, take two to" (shou (升) and to (斗) being archaic units of volume). The cry of a skylark was likened to this phrase in ancient Japan.
- ↑ This conversation is an extended pun "tori" (鳥 bird), "toritate" (取立て debt collector) and the city "Tottori" (鳥取).
- ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 10.3 These highlighted in grey were removed in v1.10a.
- ↑ A reference to the famous Tottori Sand Dunes.
- ↑ "Ritoru" again.
- ↑ The Haji (土師) clan was an ancient Japanese clan founded by Nomi no Sukune, and tasked with production of Haji pottery by Emperor Suinin.
- ↑ Ware omou yue ni waremokou (我思う故に吾亦紅), a pun on the phrase ware omou yue ni ware ari (我思う、ゆえに我あり, "I think; therefore I am").
- ↑ "Spiders of dawn" (朝蜘蛛 asa-gumo, sounds like "Adagumo") are said to be a good omen, which one shouldn't kill.
- ↑ Tsubakura being called a "spider" is likely a reference to "Tsuchigumo". A historical Japanese derogatory term, sometimes written as "earth spider" (土蜘蛛), used to refer to renegade local clans.
