I'm not fluent, and I've had trouble with some spots so I'm sure I'll have to come back to this. However, I think I've got the gist of things. I HAVE spent quite a bit of time on this, so please don't take it without my permission, as crappy as it is. Comments/feedback: rielf@hotmail.com Chapter 5: His God (Handwritten notes) :Thoughts: {My notes} p.157 (Tenjyokai- the Heavenly Realm) (sign: Kanneon's Room. Enter and Die.) Man Bodhisattva-sama. Why did you send those four on an earthly road? If they need to get to India, wouldn't a path through the sky be much faster? Kanneon-Bosatsu They don't *only* need to get to India. In order to achieve their true goal, their efficiency and comraderie must be greatly improved. For this they need to face ordeals together, and if this journey can serve as those trials, all the better. Man (Oh) Of course you would have thought it all out. Kanneon-Bosatsu More or less. p.158 Kanneon-Bosatsu And I thought it would be much more interesting this way. Man Ka-Kanneon-Bosatsu-u! p.159 Unfortunate Monk Gya! Ugh.. Youkai Hey, get out here! Sanzou! And you Youkai Traitors! If you don't hurry and get out here, i'll devour every one of these monks! p.160 Gojyo Ch' How dull, this time it's just this lousy guy. I was hoping it'd be some beautiful girls, like last time. Yo ! Youkai So you're the three traitors. Even if it weren't for Kougaiji-sama's orders, I'd wanna take care of you. p.161 Youkai If i'm the opponent, no amount of people can take me down! Gojyo What do you think? His big ass ego pisses me off. Minus 30 points. Hakkai His laughter is vulgar. Minus 15 points. Youkai Wh- are you trying to make a fool out of me!!? Goku Ah! Yellow teeth. Minus 5 points. Youkai I-I'll #$@$in' KILL you!! p.162 Gojyo ! --I'll give you an 'A' for effort.. p.163 Youkai Ack! ! p.164 Goku Deya! Youkai I-I didn't see that coming at all! How can they move so fast?! Hakkai It can't be.. you were doing all that fancy posturing back then, with only this much power? Gojyo (lovely personality you got there...) p.165 Youkai These guys aren't normal! Gojyo (come on!) Goku Man, you're so pathetic. Youkai Damn you! (Ah-!) Goku Wah! He doesn't give up! Hakkai Please get behind me for a second! p.166 Hakkai (chanting) Youkai :Wh- a protective shield?: Hakkai I came up with it when we fought the spider woman. 'If you harden you Ki, couldn't you make a barrier', I thought. p.167 Youkai :To make such a huge wall of Ki in such a small window of time...: Goku That's great, Hakkai! I wanna try it too!! Hakkai (uh..) Well, you need to be able to concentrate really hard.. Youkai And yet, those two.. In order to appear human, they are wearing Youkai Controlling Devices. If they take off those devices.. What would their *true* power be like? (However!!) I'll strike first, and victory is mine! I'll show you *my* true power!! p.168 Hakkai So that's why he wears nothing on his right arm. Gojyo I was thinking his clothes were pretty funky. Goku Nyoi Bo! p.169 Goku !! Whoa! What power! Gojyo When you say that, it's all over! Youkai Now, to finish you off!! p.170 Youkai What!?! p.171 Youkai Gah! Sanzou Hits the ground like a sack of potatoes. Minus 40 points. Goku Sanzou!! Hakkai Total: Minus 80 points. Gojyo Geez, why do you get to hog the spotlight? I could have taken this guy myself, with one hand. (hey) Sanzou I'm sure you could have. p.172 Sanzou As you can see, we can deal quite easily with assasins like you sent by your boss "Kougaiji" or whatever. What's the purpose of the experiments to revive GyuMaOh? What lies beneath all of that? Youkai You stink of blood. You've bathed in the blood of how many people, I wonder. I was shocked when I heard them call you Sanzou. Sanzou 20 point deduction. Game over. Youkai Moron. p.173 Youkai No matter what you say, you're dead. Hakkai Stand back, Sanzou!! Goku What!? Is he a suicide bomber!? Gojyo You gotta be kidding. p.174 Goku Are you alright, Sanzou!? Sanzou Yeah, it wasn't anything serious. :Before he'd even opened his mouth, he had decided to die.: :To recieve such loyalty, even from a lower-class Youkai: :What kind of person IS this Kougaiji?!: Hakkai Are you hurt? Yo ... What are you people!? p.175 Yo Even until now, you've bathed in the blood of many, he said. In this way, you continue to destroy life!? Goku W-wait a minute, it's not like we can do anything about it, it's kill or be killed, you know. Hakkai We don't think that's a good thing, but.. Yo It's definately a bad thing! The act of stealing any life at all is a sacrilege to the Buddha!! Sanzou Hey. Is that how you truly feel? Can you say that, even if everyone you know and love is killed? p.176 Sanzou If you want to be close to the Gods so much, then just die. Anyone who dies can become a Buddha. Just like those monks over there. Yo ..thats.. Gojyo Well, that's too bad for us.. p.177 Gojyo ..We're still alive. p.178 Head Monk If you head northwest from here you'll reach level ground by nightfall. With the jeep you can get to a town in no time. Hakkai Please forgive us for the trouble. Head Monk Don't be ridiculous. This has shown us that we must make whatever emergency preperations for the future. We must not let the deaths of our brothers be meaningless. Sanzou (Is that so.) A Monk And we have been so terribly rude to you.. Hakkai Ah, please don't worry about it. It's a purifying experience that we need, every now and then. (Oh yes, truly) Sanzou So we're naturally filthy, are we? Hakkai Yo--? p.179 Yo Sanzou-sama.. When you finish with everything, will you return to this temple? If you do.. would you teach me to play mahjong? Sanzou I'll remember that. Goku (Oh) Maybe you better not. Sanzou and Gojyo are terribly uncouth, and they play dirty. Gojyo How can a flea bitten, brainless monkey like you say that!? (Huh!?) Hakkai Ah ha ha.. Goku Well, it's *true*, isn't it, you stinking squid of a water demon!! Sanzou Ah-! Just shut up--!! p.180 Yo Sanzou-sama... Thank you very much.. p.181 India, 'Houtoujou' Gyokumen The amalgamation of science and demonic magic to form "Ultra-Chemistry". The effects of these experiments on the outside world do not concern me. p.182 Gyokumen Nothing matters, as long as my beloved, my GyuMaOh, is revived. A humble wish, is it not? And yet, those who would stand in my way, p.183 Gyokumen Even if they are Gods, I will not forgive them. You understand, don't you, Kougaiji? Kougaiji ... p.184 Gyokumen Yes, and those four who make up Sanzou's group.. they're such an eyesore. Get rid of them, will you? Kougaiji As you wish, Empress Gyokumen. Gyokumen Oh my, feel free to call me 'Mother'. (tee hee) You are his son, after all. Technically. Kougaiji That bitch! Dammit!! Acting like she's his wife!! Yaone ...Kougaiji-sama. p.185 Kougaiji Oh, it's you guys. Yaone Do you plan to directly confront Sanzou's group? Kougaiji Yes. But not for that two-faced bitch. I do it for the sake of my 'Mother'. :Someday, I swear, I'll free her from this abominable curse.: :Towards that end, there's nothing I wouldn't do..: Yaone Kougaiji-sama. I, Yaone, will accompany you. p.186 Dokugakuji Count me in. I'm your bodyguard, aren't I? Lirin Lirin's coming too! 'Cuz I'm sooo much stronger than you, bro! Kougaiji (whatever) Do as you please. Let's go. Sanzou and his followers; I, Kougaiji, will take care of you. Saiyuuki Volume One, End. ~~~This is from http://rielf.fcpages.com/~~~
