Hello I am RYO!
I have already made posts from Chapter 1 to Chapter 6 in the past!↓
https://hive.blog/manga/@ryo-6414/my-original-samurai-manga-jingi-chapter1-2-3-4-5-6
This time, I put together chapter 12 from chapter 7 of the past -Jingi-!
My manga reads from the right just like Japanese manga.
And early chapters were a little "strange english" because I was making them while studying English😅
But I hope you enjoy it!
In the early chapter, Takeuchi started fighting the New meiji government(NMG).
And he sets out on a journey to find the Katana that the NMG has got…
Chapter7
Kku…!!
Fast…!
Not allow you to go against me in this place no more…"Wakattaka?(わかったか？)=※Do you understand?"
Kku…! You…! If you disobey me…
"Dousuru?(どうする？)=※What will you do?" You can win against me? Or…will you report to "upper "?
But, I think that it is only to expose your miserable appearance by reporting to the upper...
Kku…!!
O…Okay…Put down the "Katana(刀)=※samurai sword"
Finally you got a "good judgment"…
You guys…we will move away here once…
A…Y, Yes…
Takeuchi…
Do not forget the day of today…
I will fight again with you...Prepare for that day and wait…!
Takeuchi…This guy is probably quite strong…
Takeuchi-dono, I apologize for our rudeness…
And also the villagers…Were you injured there?
me? Y…Yeah, I'm no problem…
Fumu…very well…
Are you a member of the new Meiji government?
No, I am different…I am hired by them…but I am not a member of new Meiji government…
Well, Then ...
But whoever go against the government will become my enemy no matter who
It is my job
Even if the opponent is a samurai...even a villager…!!
But those who hired me now are not here
That means I do not have to work here…
That's all, I'm sorry but I should go back soon..."Shikkei suru(失敬する)=※
Apology words when leaving"
Farewell…You are Takeuchi(竹内)…
Shinden(真伝) You are?
I am Isaya(一叉矢) Hachitarou(八田朗)=※Last name=Isaya, First name Hachitarou
Well…Takeuchi Shinden-dono,
I hope that I will never cross Katana with you…
"Saraba da…(さらばだ)=※Farewell"
I also hope so…
I was relieved that you did not have big injuries…
I am sorry to make the matter bigger
I will also leave here…Nn?
Incredible! you are greatman! Thank you Osamurai-san!!
Thank you for defeating that dirty guys!!
I got refreshed!!
It's awesome strong Osamurai-san!
Where are you from?
You are our hero!
Oh, Yeah! Let's toast for our hero!
" Iine!(いいね)=※Good" let's do it!
Thankfully…But…I will withhold…
I have made a big matter…and I can not put any further inconvenience…
Haha! What are you saying!
There is nothing annoying!
I was really angry with their irresponsible politics, So very refreshing!
Ah! It's awesome, you!
if you return leave as it is, We will be punished!
Tonight is a party!
Now that's ready!
I will prepare a meal!
What do you want?
…Is that okay? We left this way ...
I do not like Isaya…but I can not…win…I do not want to admit it…
Besides, I such real fighting was after a long time... It seems my skills are waning more than I thought ...
…I can not let it end like this…!!
I will go to Mr. Kanayama…
To regain my former power…!!
Chapter8
Yo Ho Yoi
"Iizo～(いいぞ～)=※Good"
Iizo Iizo～
Good! Dance and dance
Hey Hey!Dance with all your heart for Osamurai-san
Hi Osamurai-san It's "Miso-soup(味噌汁)=※Miso is Japanese seasoning using beans"
Oh…"Katajikenai(かたじけない)=※The old word which combined the Thanks＋modest＋apologize "
All right!
Anyway…Even though you are the protagonist of tonight, why do not you even sit down in the chair? I bring it?
Thank you…But I am a countryer so "this" calms down…And I am satisfied enough that the villagers welcomed me so much
"Oba-chan!=※middle-aged women"
Give me a Miso-soup!
Na!? Even though I am in the middle of talking...
You should follow the humility of the Osamurai-san! wait!
Come on～! Please do it quickly! I'm hungry!
Hi Osamurai-san I sit next to you, okay?
of course "Douzo(どうぞ)=※A wishful wish to a person a word expressing a feeling of advancing"
Ah Do not mind me, you eat meal…Since it is a waste when the meal cools down
Umu…Then thankfully I will receive meal
Fum…"Umai(旨い)=※good"
Haha, Right? I made this miso, It fermented for 2 years
"Sayou ni…(左様に)=※"Really?" and "I see" The old words meaning combined"
Osamurai-san! Am I also sitting next to you, okay?
Ah Of course
Thank you look! I brought Iwana! Iwana=Japanese river fish
Oh, Thankfully
Hey Ichibei! Have you brought my Iwana as well?
Of course!
Umu…Delicious
I appreciate such a feast
Thank you for welcoming
Never mind! Rather, we should thank you
Unless you were there, how cruel things they were doing to me…
…Is there samurai in this village?
By the way! You said that the neighboring village was burned, but maybe...
Yeah…About that story, I think that the samurai in this village probably was destroyed by today's government.
Originally there are few samurai in this area...We were supporting each other in cooperation with other villages…
The other day the samurai in this village went to the neighboring village, but one week passed and nobody came back ...
But recently I have heard a story, the village samurai got destroyed by someone and the village seems to have been burned ...
But today…I was able to know who did it
Various incidents have increased recently ... It is becoming a really dangerous world.
Rural areas have little information but
There are rumors that the government guys are doing Intrigue with foreigners…
Yeah I also heard that, recently a guy named Kaneyama sells valuable Japanese items to foreigners
Yeah, It seems to be one of the "Jikketsu" who is the upper part of the new government.
And they seem to be bringing strong samurai like guys of today to members,
they are beginning domination and purge in various places...
The samurai of the past was just as strong and gentle people as you...
Even though they lived fun with farmers like us…
Recently, those who are covered with desire came to gain status
I am worried about the future…
By the way, Where are you from? Are you being hired by the lord?
I am traveling various places now…
So I have not settled anywhere
Ee! "Sounanoka? (そうなのか？)=※Really?"
Does not a master like you belong to anywhere? Wow… So is there any errands in this village?
"Souda(そうだ)=※Yeah "
Actually I am looking for a certain Katana.
Today, Did not you talk about "Shirasu Toyokazu's Katana" before the new Meiji government came?
Ah…It seems that the first "Meitou(名刀)=※Excellent famous Katana" of Shirasu was found…
That's it I am looking for that Shirasu's Katana now
Your looking for…But it seems that the Katana has passed over to the hands of Kaneyama
Although it is unknown whether that information is true…
Kaneyama…Was any information written in something else?
No anymore…But if a Katana passed over to the hands of Kanayama it will try to sell it to a foreigner
A man named "Gleeson" seems to be a Katana collector…He is a man from a foreign arms merchant
Gleeson…Did the Katana have already passed over to the man…?
I think that it is probably still
Ichibei, Why do you think so?
I only heard that story in another village, but Gleeson seems to be now in the Nishikaidou(Southwest)
So it seems now that guy has brought a lot of weapons so may be trading at that place for a while…So recently Kaneyama is domination the Northeast which is close to where we are(★), is not it? Today 's government guys may be Kaneyama' s subordinates…
Yeah, And that Youjinbou! (Bodyguard samurai ver)
If he is a Youjinbou of the upper government, there may be somebody who is Jikketsu in this neighborhood
Although it is unknown whether it is Kaneyama…
…I think there is a possibility
I traveled this places because Shirasu was making Katana around here.
So I think that the possibility of this around is high if the first Katana of Shirasu is found.
Maybe, Kaneyama might have domination this neighborhood to get a Katana
……But…What are you going to do with it? Kaneyama definitely will not let go of a Katana…
Umu……But I will be in trouble if that Katana crosses overseas...although I want to do something...
"Ooi!(おーい！)=※Voice when calling" Sea bream rice is completed!
Oo!
At last! I'm waiting!
…Anyway, Let's have a meal for the time being
Ah…
Hai! Let's all get together, please!
Today was the best day thanks to Osamurai-san!
I was saved a dangerous scene by him and the new government drove them back!
Thanks Osamurai-san! And thanks for the "Otent-san!(お天道さん)=※ God of heaven"
"Arigatou～!(ありがとう)=※Thanks"
Hey Osamurai-san come on!
Dance! Dance!
Chapter9
Ichibei-san… Help…
You are powerless…
That "mercy" sometimes turns into "Naive"…
Its Naive turns into a tragedy!
Haa…Haa…
I remembered it after a long time…
Well then, Thanks to everyone
Thankfully for welcoming this way
Never mind! Thanks to you, we were really saved…
"Ouyo!(おうよ！)=※Yeah"
we should say thank you "Arigatou gozaimasu=※Thank you so much" Osamurai-san!
And this! It's a boxed lunch!
Rice balls and pickles…Although amount is small
Oh, Thankfully…Did you make it for me?
Sure…I can only do this…please take this with you
"Katajikenai(かたじけない)=※The old word which combined the Thanks＋modest＋apologize"
By the way, where did Ichibei go?
I have not seen him from the morning…He may have returned to his village…?
Really? Did he go home without saying anything? Oh, Rude man…
"MAaMAa(まぁまぁ)=※calm down"
Yesterday he was serious…so he might have wanted to go home early and have a break
Oh well…! I have to teach him politeness!
Anyway, You can come anytime again!
Such a Osamurai-san like you are always welcome!
Ah! Next time we will prepare a big party more!
See you!
Be careful and travel!
Thank you to everyone
Umu…It feels good wind
Ooooooooi!(おーい)
Osamurai-sa～～n!
Ichibei-dono…!
※dono=Mr
Haa…Haa…It was good to be in time…I have packed my luggage from midnight…!
In such a hurry…"Doushita?(どうした？)=※What's wrong?"
Are you going searching for a Katana that you said yesterday?
This Ichibei, let's accompany you on the trip of Samurai!
…What's?
Because I've been traveling a lot of places quite a lot so far I've been somewhat familiar with the area and I knew about Gleeson yesterday as well
So I think that I will help you!
……Ah…But… does not it cause inconvenience to your home or family…?
I have been traveling for a long time and have been staying at the place I went, Because I am such a life I have no bride
But I have money properly! Summer is the time when insects are the most profitable!
So I will not cause your trouble! "Na?(な？)=※Okay?"
…Ah…
I'm sorry but…it is better to stop it
Being with me risks you…Because I often get targeted
Yeah, I know…
But I thought we should leave this place, whichever way
Because I and you are also targeted by yesterday's government...next time may involve people in the village...I think that governments will do it…
So if we need to leave the village, can I also go with you? right?
……Fum…
And to fact...I have a little trouble…
Is that trouble related to the nightmare of yesterday?
Did you notice it…?
Ah, Because my work-related is sensitive to slight noise
Actually...I used to live in the Southwest…and have a fiance
But at a certain time a villainous samurai came… and kidnapped my fiance…!!
Chapter 10
The "Choshu-han(Old Japanese southwestern State)" who I lived was a lot of trade with overseas and lots of foreigners lived…
It was a peaceful relationship for a long time, but some foreigners came and began "disturbing actions"
Among them were arms merchant like Gleeson and some called "bankers"…They are seems to have aimed at further money earning and domination in Japan...
So foreigners seeking profits hired a Choshu-han's samurai and poor foreigners by giving a lot of money and power...
They started to exploitation more and more from the villagers for their own benefit ...
They hit the goldless men…and the woman caught for prostitution purposes…
And they sold some woman abroad…My fiance was also kidnapped at that time…
…I fought back desperately but I could not do anything and she was taken away...In front of me…!!
Ichibei-san! Help!
I lost my fiance…and thought that I do not want to live in that place anymore, I left that place...Anyway I wanted to go to a place far away...
It was like a journey to forget…about her...
Then I lived while hiding that time in "My heart pocket"...for a long time…
"Was not there something more I could do?"I had such a thought…But I was a farmer so I did not have the power to fight…
So I hoped that someone would beat them...But…
They finally expanded their power to this area(East)…!
The New Meiji government…!(※Afterwards=NMG)
"Ah=※Yeah" In the past I did not know…Choshu-han guys was a member of NMG…
NMG is a force of 4-hans samurai and supporter guys gathered together...
Yesterday's guys do not know where they are from…they are different hans, or a samurai of Choshu who joined newly…?
Anyway In the past they had been promoting the control of the southwest area but I heard rumors that they have steadily expanded their influence and recently come to the east...Then they just appeared yesterday…
I thought that the pay for it which had escaped at that time came...
I did not face problems and leave it to others...Their forces were still small at that time…If were able to collect my comrade and stand up against them...their forces might not have expanded so much...
That's why I do not want to away any further ... I thought I should not run away!
Of course I am not asking you to have my grudge cleared up ...
I do not know if guy who kidnapped my fiance in the first place is still in the government...
even if I find that guy, I do not know what to do...
Just…I just do not want to be "indifferent" anymore
Please! Take me with you!
I do not know what I can do...However I do not want to repeat the same mistake as that time...
Anyway I will not disturb you looking for a Katana, and of course I will help you!
"Tanomu!(頼む！)=※Please!" Let me go together!
…Fum…"Wakatta(わかった)=※Okay"
Really!?
Either way we need to get away from this place a bit...I agree with you about that.
Let's act together for a while
Instead, do not forget to become a dangerous journey...
Ah! I know!
Thank you Osamurai-san!
Yoroshiku na!(よろしくな！)=※"Yoroshiku" is a word of greeting used in various scenes
Kochirakoso,Yoroshiku tanomimousu(こちらこそ、宜しく頼み申す)=※A word close to "Likewise" . "tanomimousu"=An old polite way of saying "Please"
So where do you go first?
…Umu…
I have something to do in a certain place…
"Yoika?(よいか？)=※Okay?"
Fuuu～～～!
This is quite a mountain top, is not it?
Ah, Are you still okay? If you are tired,
take a break?
No no I'm fine! Because I am used to this such journey!
"Sumanaina(すまないな)=※Sorry" His house is near here
All right!
By the way why are you looking for the Shirasu's Katana of yesterday's story? Do you also Katana Collector?
No I am not interested in such things…
I just want to "On-gaeshi(恩返し)=※return my gratitude" to my Master…
On-gaeshi?
Yeah, However, if a man named Kaneyama really got a Katana…it might be difficult...
It certainly may be, First of all we do not even know the "looks" of Kanayama…
All I know is that he is in northeast
First we have to collect Kaneyama's information
…tto, That is his house
"Areka?(あれか？)=※Is that?"
Wow It's really on the top of the mountain~
Ah, He seems to be unable to concentrate on "his work" unless he leaves from lively place
Chapter 11
Ooishi-dono! I am sorry to keep you waiting! Are you there?
…Um? …Is not here?
Aah…This is usual so do not worry…
Nn? There is a sound…
As I thought…He seems to concentrate on work
follow me
"Madamada…(まだまだ)=※more"
Comeーon! Ooishi-san! He's here!
Yo! "Ojamashimasu!(お邪魔します)=※Greeting when entering another's house"
Hello…?
"Nanda!?=※What's"
When did you come here!?
You're a thief!?
From a little while ago I was calling out…
Excuse me during work Ooishi-san…I entered the house without permission
Oo…? Oh! Takeuchi!
Just at the right time!
This guy is a thief! Please do it!
Just I am not a thief!
Ahahaha! "Suman Suman!(すまん すまん)=※Mild apology"
I thought that a Katana-thief was definitely coming!
I am Ooishi(大石)yoshio!(良雄)
A "Katana-kaji!(刀鍛冶)=※A craftsman making a Katana"
I am Ichibei! I have been doing Insect-shop until recently…not a thief
Ahahaha sorry!
I can not hear surrounding sounds when I concentrate on work!
But are you living alone like this in the mountains? Is not it hard to make a Katana in such a place?
Well, The place where there are many people is not suitable for me.
Katana is that God lives in…I can not concentrate on my work unless it's such a quiet place...
A Katana without a soul is just a steel bar…
I don't want to do such a careless work
…By the way, I planned to come here to pick up luggage yesterday, but I am sorry I was late
Ah, Never mind! I am fixing the Katana-gake and will give it to you later
Katana's stand
By the way, It is unusual for you to be late…Did something happen?
Actually…
Fu～～～m…I see…New Meiji government…Afterwards=NMG)
I have heard about them a few years ago,
It was an organization made up of multiple "hans(Meaning the state)", right?
Ah, Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa, Hizen is 4 hans...They are trying to control Japan by pairing with foreigners
But if such a thing is done Bakufu(The Japanese regime of Edo) will not stand by?
Ah, But the NMG has overseas weapons... Bakufu is obviously in a disadvantageous situation
Nnn…So…you guys want a Katana that the NMG has?
Yeah What do you think?
Well, I also want to see that Shirasu's Katana as a Katana-kaji…
Because he is a legendary Katana-kaji…But is not it reckless to oppose the NMG?
I'm sorry to Osamurai-san but I also agree with his opinion…
They are not guys who will give us a Katana even if we ask for it…
I think in order to get a Katana…
You will have no choice but to rob!
But can you do it? You have the power to do it...do not you?
But the problem is your "Kimochi"(気持ち)=※feeling"
If we plan, we may be able to take Katana...
But probably you do not want to do something like that anymore...Even if they are anyone
Nn…?Did something happen in the past?
Please do not do that story now ...
Anyway! You guys do not know Kaneyama that man 's face and features, do you?
First you have to start from there! Wait a moment…
E～tto…Where is it…
I got it!
Takeuchi!
This is…?
That's part of the "Ttekkou(Old hand armor)" I made for the certain man.
Try searching for a man wearing the Ttekkou of that crest
…Who is that man?
He is…"Hikyaku(飛脚)=※An old deliverer"
Moreover he is quite familiar with the information in this area
Hikyaku…!
Yeah He is a Hikyaku who specializes in key person…
Maybe he knows something about the NMG…
Of course he usually does not teach information easily
but if it is an introduction from me he
will tell you something
It's a beautiful setting sun…
Otto! I do not have time to take any more.
NMG guys are scared when they get angry...That guys disgusting but salaries are good…Work is work
Yotto!
"Sateto…(さてと)=※Well"
Delivery start
Chapter 12
Certainly the Hikyaku may know something…
So his name is?
His name is Hiruma(比留間) Ryouhachi(隴八) but when Hikyaku, He calls himself "Toshihiro(利衆)"
So I think you should look for that name
But…How much will he know about NMG, even if he is a key person's Hikyaku…?
Isn't it likely that NMG will also hire its own dedicated Hikyaku?
I think maybe it's okay for that
Toshihiro is in charge of Mito delivery,
There are people in Satsuma and Tosa in NMG, right? They should have had an interaction with Mito from a long time ago.
If their relationship has not changed now, Maybe he should have some information
Oh!! If so, he is likely to know something!
Yeah! Maybe!
Then Takeuchi The rest is up to your choice.
Is it to rob the Katana...or somehow to negotiate...
It would be good to hear and think from Toshihiro
Yeah…"Katajikenai(かたじけない)=※The old word which combined the Thanks＋modest＋apologize"
Good…So let's have dinner soon! You guys are getting hungry? It is that there is Ichibei of the first visitor, and I prepare a good dinner today!
Wow! Really!? "Arigatou!=※Thank you" Ooishi-san!
Takeuchi! You're getting a lot hungry, right? I also have sake!
Oh, Then I'm glad if I can get sake a bit
"Ohayou!(おはよう)=※Good morning" It is morning! comeon wake up! Ichibei～? …Hello～?
Ahahaha! It is return of yesterday's present
…Yeah…This is the end of the present exchange…
Well, I'm going to greet "Ujigami-sama(氏神様)=※God protecting the land and people in which the person lives"
Follow me!
…By the way, Where is Osamurai-san?
Ah, He just finished worshiping Ujigami-sama...Then went to "Meisou(瞑想)=※meditation"
Shinden…Listen carefully…
From now on, terrible things will happen in this Japan and world…Heaven and earth is ruined and people are hurt...And we will also make many mistakes…
That's why Never forget this.
Love others, Protect the Weak sides…And do the right thing.
That is the spirit of Bushi(samurai)
"Shishou…(師匠)=※Master"
Fuu～～～～mu…
Osamurai-san! Just at the right time!
I'm looking for our route now!
Oh, Really? I am sorry for being late
Okay Okay, Never mind! So I consulted with Ooishi-san…So we found a good route!
This! Mito-road!※One of several great roads in the Edo period(More than 150 years old from now)
Ah! That big road
As I said yesterday, Toshihiro is in charge of delivery in the Mito
Because deliveries should be take over to others Hikyaku in Edo...
You should be able to find him if you go through this Mito road connecting Edo and Mito
So how about looking at his footsteps from the center of Mito road? It's just around Kasumigaura-lake…
About four or five days from where we are...
Yeah You guys will probably arrive in three days from this place
What does Osamurai-san think?
Umu…I agree with your opinion.
First we go to the center and then ask if he went north or south...
If he is close from there, we may be able to find him in about seven days to eight days
So if you decide to go to the center of Mito road, you should go to the "Gozu-tennousha"!
He is a devout man...he seems to often go to various temples and shrines, but I think that one of the places he often went to was a Gozu-tennousha near Kasumigaura-lake!
Really!? So the shrine guardian may know about him…
Yeah, I think the possibility is great
Good…So…I got it!
Shrine where "Gion-Daimyoujin(祇園大明神) lives… "※The origin is a god that repels foreign epidemic"
Gozu-tennousha(牛頭天王社)
At first let's aim here!
That's it the chapters 7-12 are over!
