Before you read, I'd just like to point out that this translation would be nowhere near as decent as it is right now if it weren't for Olivier Hague. He deserves more credit for this translation than I can give him in this paragraph. I'd say that about 80-90% of this is actually his "revision" of my attempt. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this translation and I hope it helps you understand what's going on more as well. If there's any problems (i.e., mistakes..) with this translation, you can reach me at ranemaka13@hotmail.com Thanks. Volume 05 Berserk Miura Kentaro Pg05 Berserk The Golden Age (7) Pg10 Guts: Go, hurry!! Rickert: Y...yessir!! Guts: (follow me....) (follow a little farther!!) pg11 Old Man: Oooh!! congratulations!! It was magnificent, Griffith!! during the month until reinforcements arrive, we... huh? Caska: ? Griffith? pg12 Griffith: and our ally's damage? Soldier: Looks like there wasn't any considerable incidents The rookie's doing a better job than I expected! it looks like the enemy can't fight correctly with the last of them because the rear guard is standing firm! even if it's a single forest road, he fights several men at once... He has great balls! Griffith: Where's Guts? Soldier: I have no idea... I lost sight of him on the way, the line of battle stretched too much... It'd be good if he didn't die pg15 Guts: now's my chance!! pg16 Guts: damn it! pg17 Guts: ch-! I fucked up!! pg18: Guts: Griffith!? pg19 Griffith: Grab on!! pg20 Griffith: Let's go!! ha! Soldier: D...don't let them escape!! pg21 Guts: Why'd you come back!? Griffith: Don't talk!! You'll bite your tongue!! Guts: ...it's no good We're two on a horse [alt. we're too slow(because they're two on a horse...)] pg22 Guts: They're catching up!! Griffith: A little more!! Guts: !? Griffith: A little more to... the clearing!!! pg23 Griffith: The clearing!! Disperse!! Captain: Fire! pg26 Enemy Soldier: Re... Retreat!! Retreeat!! pg29 Man in hat: Really... at best, the surprise attack was a success this time Baldie: You can't blame them... Baldie: This was a brilliant victory indeed. Man in hat: Pfft Baldie: Soon, we probably won't be able to treat them with contempt any more But... That man certainly is dreadful Even this operation was totally managed by that man. Even if he's so young and has absolutely no support, he's both totally trusted by his men and gifted as a tactician... One can wonder how far a man like Griffith can go Mullet: But really, when you [Griffith] rushed, I was really worried... I thought that maybe... Soldier: Idiot. As if something like that could ever happen to Griffith Mullet: You say that now, but you were the most scared of us all. Soldier: Is that so? Mullet: that new guy's not that bad, after all! Blondie: Yeah, even if he's mean Mullet: I thought he would run away... Blondie: Griffith's expectations were right. Guy with cup: Well... I guess we can accept him as a member of the Hawks... Pointer: By the way, where is he? Pg30 Judeau: Oh, there you are. Pg31: Judeau: What are you doing? Are you at a place such as this for the cool of the evening? Come with us! Let's drink! In a place like this, you need to have fun while you can! Guts: I'm ok. Rickert: um... Mr. Guts... Thanks for before... Thanks to you, I narrowly escaped from death. I'm Rickert! Guts: Huh...? Rickert: I respect you so much! I've never seen somebody fight like that except for Griffith! Pg32 Guts: I only did my job. I don't need any thanks. You feel the same, don't you? Judeau: You hear that? Well... Let's just say that you're right [for now] I'm Judeau, pleased to meet ya! Why don't you come, The party can't be successful without its hero! Guts: What are you talking about? Judeau: It's also a welcoming party for you! Do you mean that you're intending to reject our kindness? Rickert: (Judeau and the others just want an excuse to party) Pg.33 Guts: Nobody asked you to do that! Judeau: Pippin! Guts: What is it? UWAAAA WHA... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! LET ME GO!! pg34 Guts: DON'T TOUCH ME!! Judeau & Rickert: Ah! Pippin: Don't be so bashful Guts: UWAAAAA Soldier: Hey, he's coming! pg35 Guts: HEY! Won't you just let me go, you big faced moron!! Pippin: I'm Pippin. Guts: Why you!! pg36 Pippin: Drink Guts: Uh... Judeau: Alright!! A toast to our stubborn rookie!! pg37 Soldier 1: You're better than I thought rookie!! That was a gutsy thing you did, holding them back despite their numbers, all on you're own!! Longhaired blonde: He's got what Griffith thought he had, indeed! Soldier 2: You're remarkable!! Shorthaired blonde guy[I wish they all had names..]: Yeah...He's alittle troublemaker! Ponytail: Even if I felt like I was going to tear you apart when you punched Griffith... Black man: Well... Anyway, you seem trustworthy Nice to be "working" with you from now on!! rookie!! pg38 Corkus: ch- pg39 Guts: Hmph pg40 [The Golden Age (7) End]
