allowing to compare it with the official translation and see to which extend
the game was changed.
And, it WAS changed. X D
From what I have seen, I consider the GBA translation to be much more accurate
to the original that the U.S. version.
But the GBA version is not the U.S. version
so a translation of the Genesis script is not useless imho (in my humble opinion).
That being said, before I start, you should know that I am far from perfect.
Have you heard of, let's say, Lina Darkstar,
which made a translation of The Forbidden Series 6?
Well, if you expect something THAT good, forget it. X D
While I know more Japanese than the average person,
I have limits and it will show. The problem is that right now,
there is no one better available for now as far as I know. ^^;;;
Expect to see many (?) in the text to see parts I'm not so sure of the translation
and to remind you to not take eveything for cash value.
Even then, you will find interesting things here and there.
Since there's a lot of text, expect the topic to last many, many days.
I could have done it chapters by chapters but it's a long task
and I might get lazy. :\
You might need to bug me once in a while. X D
I'm not sure how much I can type in a single post.
I will end the first post here and the next one will contain
the beginning of the Japanese script.
You might want to wait for the second post before starting to comment. X D
Edit : I just learned I can't post twice in a row.
The gamefaqs forums don't work the same way. X D
Here is how the text will be shown.
First, there will be the U.S. Text.
Then, the Japanese text for those who might want to look at it.
And finally, my shot at translating it in blue.
to help differentiate it from the rest of the text.
If I have comments to add, they'll be in italic.
(or between parentheses)
I will start with the introduction.
I know, the translation is already here on this site. X D
But it will show you how much I can do.
Oh, and one more thing. Expect SPOILERS.
Lot of them.
If you haven't played the game, please do so and then come back here.

Introduction
*************
In ages long forgotten...
およそ１０００ねんほど むかし‥
From about 1000 years in the past..
...Light fought Darkness for
control of the world.
きよき心を 光とよび
悪しき心を やみとよんだころ
Pure hearts were called by the light
Evil hearts were invited by the darkness
Dark Dragon led the evil
hordes of Darkness.
やみのけしん ダークドラゴンは
はかいとさつりくを くりかえしていた
The incarnation of Darkness, Dark Dragon
was destroying and slaughtering again and again.
*Picture of the battle against Dark Dragon*
The Ancients fought back with
the Powers of Light.
神々とのそうぜつな戦いのすえ
ダークドラゴンはとらえられた
At the end of the great battle with the gods
Dark Dragon was captured.
(Note : "gods" is often if not always changed in the U.S. version in "Ancients")
Dark Dragon was defeated and
cast into another dimension.
そして 神々のてにより
ちのそこに ふういんされた
And by the hand of the gods
it was sealed in the bottom of the earth.
*Face of Dark Dragon*
The Lord of Darkness vowed to
return in 1,000 years.
「我ハ カナラズ ヨミガエラン
１０００ネンノ ノチニ?」
"I will revive withouth failing
in 1000 years..." (?)(
That part is quoted, meaning that Dark Dragon was talking.
Try to say the text with your scariest voice. : P
The text is written in Katakana, meaning it doesn't sound too human.
Maybe I should have wrote it in CAPS.
*Picture of a castle*
Time passed, and Dark Dragon
was forgotten by all.
そして ときはながれ でんせつは
わすれさられようとしていた
And in time the stream of legends
have been forgotten. (?)
Ten centuries of peace ruled
the land of Rune.
人々 えいえんとも おもわれる
へいわなときを たのしんでいた
Humanity seemed to have seemingly enjoyed
an eternal time of peace.
*Picture of Rufaust's forces*
Until the kingdom of Runefaust
brought war and fear to Rune.
しかし そのせいじゃくをやぶり
But destroying that quietness (?)
Hordes of evil creatures
ravaged every land.
ひがしの大国ルーンファウストが
とつじょ しんぐんをかいしした
The large east country Runfaust
suddenly started its march.
Here and there, strongholds
of Good still held out...
人々は おそれおののき
Humanity, trembling with fear
...awaiting a Hero who could wield the Powers of Light!
この力にたいこうする
すくいのてを まちのぞんだ?
looked for a helping hand
against this expanding power. (?)
**********************************************
Start of the game : the scene with the girl reading a book.
Simone :
Wow! Dark Dragon, Ancients...
Let's see now, what else does
this old book say?
Hmmm. One thousand years
have passed since they
vanquished Dark Dragon.
And this book says
Dark Dragon threatened to
return right about now.
I bet anything that Dark
Dragon is behind the evil
hordes of Runefaust!
I need to tell someone about
this! But who would listen to
a kid like me?
I think Dark Dragon's coming
back! Will you help us?
C'mon, it?ll be an adventure!
?おききなさい
あれから １０００ねんがたちました
なんとしても 悪しき力を
ふっかつさせてはなりません?
我々も それをそしするため
ふういんを まもるためのちすじを
はぐくんできました
それが あなたたちなのです
わー これから どうなるんだろう？
えーと えーと?
あーっ！！ いらっしゃーい！
おじちゃんなら お出かけよ
でも もうすぐ かえってくると
おもうけど?
えっ このごほん？ これはね？！
ルーンたいりくに つたわる
むかしむかしの おはなしなの
そうだ！ もしよかったら
おじいちゃんが かえってくるまで
ごほんを よんできかせてー！
Listen
From there 1000 years have passed.
To not let that evil power be revived...
We also raised a lineage
in order to protect the seal
to block it.
This was your (people?) doing.
Wa- where did you come from?
Hum hum ...
Aahh!! Welcome!
If it's for grampa-chan, he went outside.
But I think he should be back very soon...
Ah, this book? You mean this!?
I heard that apparently a long time ago
it was transmitted in the Rune continent.
Is that so! If it's ok,
until grampa-chan comes back,
let's read this book!
While it might not make unanimity, I have decide to keep Japanese honorifics.
I think it would be for best.
If you don't know what they are, have a look here :

ねえねえ このおはなしの主人公は

Well well, how should the hero of that story
be called?
How considerate of her.
Maybe the hero's name was never know in the book...
Nice to meet you,
Max! I'm Simone.
Come back often
and tell me everything!
You need to get going! Evil
spreads farther across Rune
with every passing day.
マックスさんて いうのね
かっこいいんだーっ！
それじゃ はやく よんで！
はやく はやくーっ！
We will call him Max-san huh.
Sounds cool!
Let's read this quick!
Quick quick!
Definitively not the same style in the Japanese version. X D
If you didn't knew yet, the girl don't have a name in the Japanese version.

CHAPTER 1
Runefaust Invasion
第１章
ルーンファウスト軍の侵略
Chapter 1
The Runefaust army invasion
*****************************
Max? Max?
C'mon, kid, wake up!
I didn't hit you that hard.
さあ マックス殿
どこから かかってきても けっこう
力いっぱい うちこみなされ！
Well Max-dono
Even when trapped from somewhere (?)
you put into heart plenty of great energy!
Max doesn't get his butt kicked in the Japanese version. : P
Also, he is called dono by many people, which denote respect.
To make a comparaison, in Super Mario RPG,
while Mario usually get called Mario-san by many people,
the high ranked chancelor calls him Mario-dono.
*You heard some noise.*
Keep your guard up, kid.
Those beasts of Runefaust
will tear you to pieces!
ま まいった！
いまのこきゅうを おわすれなく
De, defeated!
I didn't lost my breath. (?)
Lord Varios:
OK, that's enough for today.
You'd better take it easy for
a while.
このへんで ひとやすみしましょう
としのせいか 私も さいきん
つかれやすく なりました?
Let's rest around here.
Maybe it's age but lately
I get tired easily...
In the Japanese version, it's Varios that get tired.
Maybe that in the U.S. version, they wanted us to pity Max
only to make him much cooler afterward? X D
*If you talk to him again before talking to Lowe*
Lord Varios:
No, Max, I think
you've had enough for
today!
もう ひとしょうぶ ですと？
マックス殿 あまり としよりを
いじめんでください
You want another match with me? (?)
Max-dono, please don't tease
too much this old man. (?)
Bookcase in the church :
Path to Master Swordmanship,
Warrior Techniques,
and many more books.
「ソードマスターへの道」
「戦士のこころえ」
いろいろなほんが ならんでいる
"Way to Swordmaster"
"Warrior's knowledge"
There are various books here.
Lowe appear, saying:
Well, Max, had enough
swordplay for today?
すげえなあ マックス！
騎士バリオス様と
ごかくの しょうぶかよ！
Awesoomee Max!
You fought on par
with the knight Varios-sama! (or Barios/Balios?)
Lowe not using honorific here denote that he's close to Max.
A good friend at least imho.
I don't know how you keep at
it hour after hour. I'm dead
tired after about 15 minutes!
うーん ほんとに すげえや！
オイラ とんでもないヤツを
ともだちに しちまったな
Yeahh it's truly awesome!
For us, it's unexpected for someone to fight a friend. (???)
Lord Varios:
You have the makings of a
great fighter, Max.
You'll be tested soon enough.
マックス殿は まことに おつよい
かつては どこかの国の りっぱな
剣士だったのでしょう
我がガーディアナでも せいしきに
騎士として おむかえできれば
よいのですが?
Max-dono is truly strong.
In the past, he must have been
a great swordman in some country.
Even for me in Guardiana, (?)
that I could oficially meet such a knight (?)
is good but... (?)
A soldier appear, saying :
Lord Varios, the king has
sent for you. You must come
at once!
バリオス様 じつは?
Varios-sama, the situation (?)...
You don't get to hear much in the Japanese version.
Lord Varios:
Of course. Lead the way, guardsman.
I fear the worst, Max!
Prepare yourself for true
battle immediately!
なに！ それはまことか！
?わかった
マックス殿 もうしわけありません
もう 城にもどるきかんのようです
また あしたも けいこに
あせを ながしましょうぞ
What! Is it true!
... Understood.
I am really sorry Max-dono.
As it is, I must already return to the castle
Let's pour sweat
by training again tomorrow.
*He leaves*
Lowe:
Did you see Varios' face? He
went pale! Something really
big is happening.
Let's split up and see if we
can't find out what's going
on. I'll see you later.
見たかよ バリオス様のかおいろ
まっさおだったぜ?なにか
こまったことでも あったのかな？
オイラ 城の様子を見てくるぜ
おまえも あとから こいよな！
Did you see, Varios-sama's expression
was really pale... Something
must have worried him but what could it be?
Let's go to see how things are at the castle.
Come too later!
*He leaves too.*
Woman in the church :
I'm sick of feeling helpless!
I'm going to ask Varios to
train me to be a fighter!
てつだいの おじいさんったら
さいきん ものわすれがひどくて
としだから しかたないのかしらねえ
If you are (?) grandpa's helper,
his recent(or lately?) forgetfulness is an awful thing.
I guess it can't be help if it's because of age.
I don't know why but the nature of the NPC chat is sometime changed.
There are othere instance of this in the game.
Priest:
Hello, Max! I've been
having the worst nightmares.
Have you had any?
これは マックス殿
きのうのよる 私は
ふしぎなゆめを 見たのですよ
どんなゆめか おわかりですか？
This is Max-dono.
Last night,
I had a mysterious dream
Do you understand what kind it was?
*If you say yes*
Priest:
I bet they're the same ones
I've been having!
ほう さすがはマックス殿だ
そうです あなたに はじめて
お会いした あのときの ことです
As I expected from you Max-dono.
Really, it was about that time
we met you for the first time.
If you say no, he'll say instead :
Well, then, let me tell you
about mine.
さすがのマックス殿にも
人の心を よむ力はありませんか
あなたに はじめて お会いした
あのときの ゆめを 見たのですよ
Not as a would have expected from you Max-dono (?)
There is not a power to read a person's heart, is there?
It was a dream of that time
where I first met you that I saw.
*In both case, he'll then say*
I saw our land in ruins. Evil
creatures roamed our halls!
It seemed so real!
かいがんに たおれていた あなたを
ロウが見つけた?
あれは もう １ねんもまえ?
きおくを すべて うしなっていた
あなたを おあずかりしたのも
神のおみちびきなのかも しれません
Lou discovered you collapsed
on the beach...
One year already passed since that...
Because (?) all of your memory was lost
we took care of you. (?)
God's guidance is something that can't be understood. (?)
Lou = Lowe.
Also, they ripped off important background story about Max.
(It can explain why Lowe is close to Max.)
And there is no mention of God here either.
When you talk to him again, he'll say :
Varios seemed very upset when
he passed this way. Perhaps
you should look for him.
マックス殿は バリオス殿のことが
気がかりなのでは ありませんか？
ならば 城に行かれては どうです？
バリオス殿は あなたの剣のせんせい
力になって おあげなさい
Max-dono, about Varios-Dono,
aren't you worried?
If it's the case, how about going to the castle?
Varios-dono is your sword teacher.
Go lend him your strenght.
Old man at the church:
Eh? What's a youngster like
you doing moping around? Get
out and fight evil!
きおくを うしなったことなぞ
気にせんでも ええよ
にんげんは みんな おんなじじゃ
としをとれば みんな わすれちまう
たのしかったこと つらかったこと
みんな わすれちまうのさ
I too had thought (?)
about losing memory, yes. (?)
Everyone is the same among humans.
If you ask about/take age (?) , every one forget.
Things that were fun, things that were painful,
every one (?) will forget.
Bookcase near the old man :
The Light and the Darkness,
How Green Was My Dragon,
and many more books.
「光とやみのでんせつ」
「神々のじだい」
いろいろなほんが ならんでいる
"The legend of light and darkness"
"The epoch of gods"
There are various books here.
Guard at the church:
Back and forth, up and down!
Man, I'm tired of guarding
this chapel all day!
私も バリオス様に
剣のけいこを つけてほしい！
?とおもうのですが
教会の けいびが いそがしく
なかなか おもいどおりなは?
マックス様が うらやましい?
I too want to be in a sword training (?)
with Varios-sama! (?)
... that's what I think but (?)
being busy the church's defence
don't allow much to do what I want... (?)
I envy you Max-sama...
Max-sama? Oh my. X D
Woman at the entrance of the castle:
The Castle of Guardiana lies
just ahead. Varios went in
just a while ago.
このさきが ガーデイアナのお城よ
ちいさいけど ゆいしょただしい
りっぱな お城なのよね
それに ウワサだけど なにか
すごい宝ものが あるんですって
やっぱり ほうせきかしらね？
Past this point is Guardiana castle.
It's a small but historically fine
splendid castle.
Beside, there is some kind of rumor
about some kind of amazing treasure being there.
I wonder if it's some kind of jewel?
Old man at the entrance of the castle :
Someday I hope to go to
Manarina to become a mage.
わしは マナリナに行きたいんじゃ
あの国でしゅぎょうして
まどうしに なってみたいのじゃ
I would like to go to Manarina.
I would like to become a mage
by studying in that country.
Let's be fair. While some stuff was changed,
some things are also more or less the same.
Man near bar:
There are so many monsters
outside the city gates!
There's no escape!
古えのもんにつづく道で
ゴブリンをたくさん見たよ
恐かったなー?
Following the road (?) to the ancient gate,
I saw a lot of goblins.
Scary...
It's more accurate in the Japanese version
and it give you foreshawing as well.
Too bad that goblins will be the least of your worries
in the games. : P
Man near the cart :
Hey! Watch it, pal! How'd you
like it if I tried to run you
over with a cart?
いてえだろ！！ このよそ者め！
こんどやったら ただじゃおかねえぞ
Stop!! (?) You stranger guy!
If you do it again, it will cost you a lot of money (?)
He's reallly, really not happy.
Dog:
Grrr! Woof, woof! Arf!
ウー ワン！ ワン！
Wa- wan! Wan!
Man near exit:
Have you seen my cart? It
rolls away all the time.
Needs new brakes, I guess.
おれの にぐるまさー
かんたんに はしり出すから
ちょっと きけんなんだよね
そろそろしゅうりに 出さなきゃな
My cart,
simply, if it start to run,
it get a bit dangerous.
Soon, I'll have to go repair it.
Left guard at the exit :
An order from the castle.
No one leaves.
お城からの めいれいで
だれであろうと ここを
とおすことは できません
An order from the castle :
no one is allowed
to pass that point here.
Rigth guard at the exit :
Sorry, Max. Talk to
the king if you want to
leave. Orders are orders!
いやあ すいませんねーっ
ホントは こんなこと
したくはないんですけど?
城からの めいれい なんですよ
だれも 出しちゃダメ！ ってね
ほんとに 悪いっすね
I am real-ly sorry.
Truly, there is no arrengement (?)
for that place but... (?)
It's an order frome the castle.
It say that :"Anyone getting out is no good!"
Truly bad.
Sign on the bar's wall :
The Green Dragon
「酒場
‥マンドラゴラ・ワイン・ヌーボー
ほんじつ にゅうかしました」
"Bar
..Mandragora wine nouveau
have arrived today."
No wine for the U.S. : P
Man behind the bar's counter :
Pay the old man no heed,
youngster. His mind isn't
what it used to be!
そこのジイさん しつこいから
あんまり あいてにしない方が
いいですよ
いえの者に ジャマにされるって
まいにち グチばかりなんだから
うちも いいめいわくですよ
Because that old guy there is obstinate,
it's a good thing (?)
that he don't have much company.
He get in the way of people here.
Because everyday he does nothing but complaining,
he cause trouble to the place (?).
Warrior in the bar :
Hey there, youngster. My name
is Gort. Care to hear my
story?
よお おわかいの
おれはゴートっていう のんだくれだ
おれのはなしに つきあわんか？
Yo, young guy,
Me, the one called Gort went drunk. (?)
Will you listen to me talking?
Goth, the name of a group of barbarians,
could be another possible translation.
If you say no at any of his questions :
I understand. I had things
to do when I was your age.
Perhaps some other time.
そうかい まあ いそがしいんなら
しかたないか アンタにはアンタの
つごうが あるんだしな
Is it so, well if you're busy,
it can't be helped. You have
thing tto take care of. (?)
If you say yes :
Thanks. No one talks to me
anymore. All too busy. Want
to hear a secret?
そうかい こりゃ うれしいねえ
いやなにね このとしになると
ぐちっぽく なるんでね
いえのもんに じゃまにされることが
おおいもんで こうしてここで
のんでるってわけさ
おっとおれのはなし まだきくかい？
Is it so, well young guy, I am pleased.
Bad things in this town/time (?)
*grumble* I have become. (?)
Because I was in the way causing trouble at home but (?)
I am worrying a lot, (?)
I am thus drinking here.
If you say yes again :
Never trust anyone outside
this city! Murderers and
thieves, all of 'em!
I ought to know. I used to
be a great warrior. Been all
over the world.
Why, I have half a mind to go
out again. Would if I got a
good offer.
おれは こう見えても
むかし りっぱな戦士だったんだ
ずいぶんてがらも たてたもんだ
さいきんは へいわなもんだから
おれの たちばってもんがないよ‥
いや 悪いねえ つきあわせて
みんな あいてに なってくれんから
しんせつな人が いると
つい はなしたくなっちまうんだよ
I was watching this way. (?)
Back then I was a great warrior.
An extremely meritorius (?) one.
Nowaday, because of that peace thing,
there is no situation (?) for me..
No, it's bad if you compare. (?)
If you don't become like the others (?)
If you are a kind person (?)
You didn't listen to this by mistake. (?)
While I didn't get all of the Japanese text,
I can't help but feel bad for Gort.
With peace he lost his usefulness and he ended up a drunkard.
He became isolated from other people.
He realize Max's kindness as it's probably one of the few people left
that actually pay attention, care to him.
Sign on the shop wall :

I can help you out?

We're all upset about our
daughter's nightmare. Do you
think it means anything?
むすめのことで うちのヤツが

I wouldn't worry about it but...

My daughter state is strange.
I wonder what on earth should I do...

騎士のヤツラが あなたの剣のうでに

This is Max-dono!
It would be good to be careful about what you do.

jealous of your skill with the sword.

This is the knights practice field.
It would be best to not

Hey, it's not easy! Those knights keep moving. X D
Knight 1:
We'll make quick work of
those Runefaust beast!
どこのウマのホネともわからんヤツに
ほこりたかき ガーディアナの騎士が
まともに くちをきけるか！ フン
Listen those proud guardiana knights (?)
talking from their mouth frankly (?)
to some not understanding horse bone guys! Phmm (?)
This is not my best moment. ^^;;;
Knight 2:
The Guardiana knights have no
need of you, Max!
えーい ちぇすとー！
うーん かけごえだけは
きまるんだけどな?
Eeei chesto!
Hm, even if it's just yelling,
it looks good... (?)
Yes, it's really written "chesto".
Knight 3:
Whew! Training wears me out.
てやーっ！ てやーっ！
もういっちょ てやーっ！
ふー くんれんは つかれるな
Teyaahhh! Teyaahhh!
One more time (?) teyaahhh!
Fuu, practice is tiring.
Knight 4:
We have trained until our
arms are ready to fall off!
When will we see battle?
さいきんは 戦いもおこらない?
我々騎士は ほんとうに
ひつよう なのだろうか?
Lately battles aren't occuring...
Are we knight truly
still required...?
As the introduction said, peace really have lasted a long long time
Knight 5:
Beat it, Max! This
training field's too rough
for the likes of you!
旅のしょうにんに きいたのだがな
ひがしの大国 ルーンファウストが
我が国を ねらっているらしい?
?まあ うわさ だがな
I heard from a traveler/traveling merchant
that the large country Runefaust to the east
seems to have eyes on our country...
... but it's just a rumor.
More foreshadowing
In the Japanese version, there's very little talk of Runefaust yet.
In the U.S. version, they're expecting them...
... and get their butt kicked anyway. X D
Knight 6:
Don't let them get to you,
Max. Some knights are
always complaining.
騎士のなかには れいぎしらずもいる
ほんとうに うまんな?
騎士の ほこりばかりに とらわれて
めがくもっている?
いざ戦いというときが しんぱいだ
Some knight (?) don't have manners.
Truly unpleasant... (note : "uma" can also mean horse)
The eye is clouded,
imprisoned by about nothing else than knight's pride. (?)
Now the said time of battle is concerning. (?)
House to the left of the castle :
-Old man:
The king seems very worried.
Do you know why?
わしは 王様が 子どものころから
ずーっと おせわをしてきた
それなのに さいきん 王様は
わしに なにも そうだんしてくれん
うーん かなしいのお
王様が なにか なやんでおられる
そういうウワサを みみにしたんじゃ
おぬし なにか しらんか？
I took care of the king-sama
all the time from the time he was a child.
About that (?), lately, the king-sama
do not come anymore to consult me.
Hm, it's sad.
Something is troubling the king-sama.
Do you not know of some kind
of rumor that would have come to your ear?
If you say no :
My guess is that thoughts of
the Gate of the Ancients
trouble our noble king!
ふーん やはり しらんか?
わしがおもうに 古えのもんのことで
なやんでおられるらしい?
Phmm, as I thought, you don't know...
My guess is that it's the ancient gate thing
that seems to worry him...
If you say yes :
Well! You young people think
you know everything!
気をつかわんでもええ
あんたが 王様のなやみごとを
しっとる わけがないじゃろ
To pay attention is good. (?)
That you would know about
the king-sama worries is not all. (???)
Centaur female knigth :
Greetings, Max.
I am Mae, Varios' daughter.
The other knights feel that
father has wasted his time on
you. We shall see!
こんにちは 私はバリオスのむすめ
騎士のメイよ
あなたがマックスね?
父上に 剣の教えをうけてるからって
あんまり いい気にならないことね
あなたは よそ者なんだから！
Hello. I am Varios's daughter
Mei the knight.
You are Max...
That you recieved sword teaching from my father
should not make you feel too optimistic (?).
After all, you're a stranger!
The people who don't like Max seems to not like him
because he is a stranger and possibly also
because he gets special attention from Varios anyway.
Guard near the treasure room:
What kind of treasure? I'm
not sure. Something really
valuable, I guess.
宝をまもるのは たいへんです
すごく きんちょう するんです
?はやく こうたいしたい！
え？ どんな宝かって？
うーん 私にはわかりません
きっと だいじなものでしょう
The protection of the treasure is a serious thing.
There was a great tension. (???)
... Quick, let's get away! (???)
Eh? What kind of treasure it is?
Hmmm, I don't know.
Undoubtly, it must be a really important thing.
So, any bet on what the treasure really is? : P
Guard at the treasure room:
Huh?
・・・・・
.....
After pushing him
Hey, cut that out! You can't
just push your way in here.
Get out!
ははは 力づくで どうにかなるほど
よのなかは あまく ありませんぞ！
Ha ha ha, going by strenght in a way or the other (?)
in the world is not optimistic! (?)
I like how the guard laugh instead in the Japanese version. : )
Knight inside the castle:
These are my quarters. Find
someplace else to sleep!
おい きさま なんのようだ！
かんけいない者が 城にはいるな！
Hey, you, what are you doing!
An unauthorized person entered the castle!
Old man inside the tower:
A great view from the top of
this tower. You can see
forever.
このとうの いちばん上からの
見はらしは すばらしいぞ
どこまででも 見えるんじゃ
え？ したはどうなっとるかって？
うーん したのへやのことは
よう わからんよ
Looking from this tower,
the highest point around is great.
What? What about under? (?)
Hum, about the room under
I don't know.
Mage:
Yes, it's an interesting tower,
isn't it? So much to see
and do!
このへやに きょうみがあるな？
みんなこのへやのことを しりたがる
だがな キカイという名まえだけしか
わからんのじゃよ
マナイナの まどうしなら
なにか しっているかもな?
Do you have an interest in this room?
Everyone want to know about this room
however we don't know anything about "machines"
beside the name.
If it about Manarina's mages,
I might know something...
Edit : I'll cut the text here as I reached the post limit a bit after this point.
Well, that's it for today.
I'll have to work on translating a bit more text before I can post more stuff.
Stay tuned.
Oh and feel free to comment or ask questions.
I can't double post so I actually need it to go on. X D
