Work force: Chapter 4
    Translator: Mariam (Leo_of_GnG)
    Editor: 
    Scans from: Melora
    Proofreader: Fox Lee 
    Localization:

Extra Notes:
      * Translators! Please check anything with a :?: below. They are the most important missing bits. There are also other bits (mostly the notes that appeared between the panels) that Mariam couldn't translate because there's no Hiragana. If you could give them a looking over, that would be great!
      * Editors: Use Mariam in the tags, not Leo_of_GnG
      * This will be a double page format.
      * Change all instances of Agnim to Agahnim- because that's what English fans will recognize.
      Extra Notes:
      • We changed Danchou, or "Dan," to "Captain" (as in "Captain of the Knights") because Beno let us know that wasn't his name, it was actually that word.X)
      • Change it back to "The Priest" for the guy at the Sanctuary, and "the Sages" will literally be the wise men.

---Fox Lee---
Notes:
  • I've changed the number of exclamation points in many places. Broadly speaking, exclamation points in English come in ones and threes, but I notice that two is very common in Japanese (or at least in this manga). It's not really important, but I'm dreadfully anal about this stuff, so I "corrected" it ^^; I will, ah, turn it back if required.
  • I left the "kuns" intact, since they seem to be deliberate for some characters. I don't know what the policy is on Japanese honourifics, so let me know if I should leave them out from now on ^^
  • I've tried to note what most of the sound effects are for, though I haven't changed any of them - I assume that's a job for localisation ^^
  • I've marked serious translation issues in red.
  • Translation issue that aren't very important are in orange.
  • My comments/questions are in teal.
  • Poke me if you notice a mistake, please!

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Title: Chapter 10 – The Crystal Seal
Ariel: "Okaaay~ I'm Ariel, one of the seven daughters of the ancient bloodline!"
Ariel: "So you guys are the ones who saved me, right?! Thank you~!"

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Everybody: "..."

Panel 2
Ariel: "What's with that look~? I just introduced myself, so I expect to at least hear your names~"

Panel 3
Danchou: "Oh, yes, please excuse us..."
Danchou: "I am Arjuna, head of the Royal Family knights"

Panel 3
Rasuka: "Ooh... So you're actually called Arjuna? That's new to me, I thought 'Danchou' was your real name all this time"
Danchou: "Are you guys serious, asking me all this now?!"
Ariel: "..."

Panel 4
Link: "I'm Link"
Link: "Wielder of the Master Sword - I'm really what you'd call a Hero!"

Panel 5
Rasuka: "I'm Rasuka"
Rasuka: "I guess you can call me this Fake Hero's babysitter or something"

Panel 6
Link: "What'd you say, ya bastard?!"
Rasuka: "Hey c'mon now, no need to be bashful"
Kanika: "I am Kanika, that I am"

File 50
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Danchou: "By the way, what is all this about?"
Danchou: "From what I see, it seems like you have been sealed into a crystal...?"
Link: "Was Agahnim the one who did this to you?"

Panel 2
Ariel: "Oh my, so you're telling me that you came all the way here knowing nothing at all?"
Ariel: "How useless~"

Panel 2 (inset)
Link: "What's with this woman?..."
Rasuka: "We save her and this is how she thanks us..."

Panel 3
Ariel: "For generations, the bloodline technique of blockade has been given to us, the decendents of the seven, in order to keep the power from being abused"

Panel 4
Kanika: "The Bloodline technique of blockade... ?"

Panel 5
Ariel: "In other words, when the situation has come down to this:"
Ariel: "We change our forms into crystals to keep the enemy from getting their hands on this power."

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "So then, Ganon's seal hasn't been broken yet, and the other girls are still safe, right?"
Ariel: "Yep, you got it"

Panel 2
Link: "Princess... "
Link: "phew" (The tiny bubble in the middle)
Link: "I couldn't protect her but... she's safe... "

Panel 3
Rasuka: "So once all of the seven powers are combined, we can all return to Hyrule, right?"
Rasuka: "How are we supposed to go about doing this blockade technique?"

Panel 4
Ariel: "Well, you use the Master Sword and..."
Ariel: "Uh!"

Panel 5
Ariel: "Ah... Wai... wait... Heeey!"
SFX: panic panic
Ariel: "NOOOOO!!! I'm disappearing!!"

Panel 6
SFX: KAKOUN (Transformation?)

SFX: koro koro
All: "..."

File 51
--Side #1--
Panel 1
???: "So while their forms are changed to crystals, their powers are sealed"
???: "And they are limited to showing their true forms and talking for just a short time"

Panel 2
Rasuka: "It suits this woman better to stay in a crystal form"

Panel 3
Link: "She was saying something about using the Master Sword for something... "
Link: "!"

Panel 4
Link: "Oh yeah, speaking of the Master Sword - Kanika!"
Link: "Weren't we in the middle of talking about how to use its powers earlier?"
Kanika: "Oh, yes yes. Indeed we were"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Kanika: "Six hundred years ago, I saw the previous Hero wielding the Master Sword"
Kanika: "And it was being used as a projectile weapon which could shoot Balls of Light from the blade"

Panel 2
Link: "A projectile weapon..."
Link: "That shoots balls of light...?" (:?: I'm not 100% sure that this is correct - I split one line from the raw because there are two speech bubbles here. There aren't enough lines otherwise. A translator should probably double-check this to make sure there isn't a missing line.)

Panel 3
Danchou: "Now that you mention it, there's a legend that says:" (Should I let him have his real name from now on? XD)
Danchou: "'The Blade of Evil's Bane emits light that can defeat the strongest of Evil.'... "

Panel 4
Rasuka: "Gyahaha, then doesn't that make this sword completely fake?!"
Link: "THAT'S NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!!!"

File 52
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Kanika: "Let me see it for a second"

Panel 2
Kanika: "Whoah?!"
SFX: ZUN (Sword goes klunk? :p)

Panel 3
Kanika: "K... kkk... So... so heavy...!" (The "kkk"s here are an onomatopoeia for a strained noise, right?)
Rasuka: "..."

Panel 4
Rasuka: "Dang, you're weak! Here, lemme take a look"

Panel 5
SFX: ZUSHIN (Whoosh?)
Rasuka: "UWHOA?!"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Rasuka: "What... is this?... It's ridiculously heavy...!"

Panel 2
Link: "Give it here"

Panel 3
Rasuka: "..."
Link: "Huuh? What're you talking about? There ain't a lighter, easy-to-use sword than this anywhere!"
SFX: WHOOSH WHOOSH

Panel 4
Rasuka: "THIS IS CHEATING!!"
SFX: GAKI (Strangling?)

Panel 5
Danchou: "What does this mean...?"
Kanika: "Hm... Tentatively, it does seem to be the real sword"

File 53
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Kanika: "I hear that only the one who has been chosen by the sword can actually use it"
Kanika: "Since Link is the only one who can wield it, it seems the sword has acknowledged him"

Panel 2
Link: "Then why can't I shoot them dang Balls of Light?!"
Rasuka: "Doesn't that just mean that both you and the sword are fakes?"
Danchou: "Oh dear, not again..."

Panel 3
Link: "WHAT'D YOU SAY?!"

Panel 4
Shadow: "For the sake of your wishes!"

Panel 5
Kanika: "All right, all right - let's all calm down and try changing our points of view on the matter"
SFX: PON

Panel 6
Kanika: "What exactly is the Master Sword? It seems to be both a blade and a weapon" (whut?)
Kanika: "And what is a weapon? Yes, a tool of battle"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Kanika: "In other words, a weapon is a tool that evolves as we utilise it in battles" (I reconfigured this line a lot - originally "a weapon is of evolution in which we utilize in battles")
Kanika: "Moreover, with such a famous tool as the Master Sword"
Kanika: "It becomes steadily clearer and sharper as the wielder becomes familiar with it when fighting"

Panel 2
Kanika: "So, as far as the argument goes -"
Kanika: "I believe the best shortcut to mastering the sword is to continue practicing with it"

Panel 3
Link: "I see"
Danchou: "I guess that's a good way of looking at it"

Panel 4
"All righty then, let's give it a shot!"

File 54
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "URYAAAAA!!"

Panel 2
SFX: HYU

Panel 3
SFX: GOH

Panel 4
SFX: DOUH

Panel 1
SFX: BASHIH (Changing sword grip?)

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "SWORD"

Panel 2
Link: "SPIN"

Panel 3
Link: "ATTACK!!!"
SFX: DON

Panel 4
Monsters: "Re... RETREAT~~~!!!"

File 55
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Kanika: "AHH! THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY!!!"
SFX: ZUGYAAAH
Kanika: "You must run after them, Link-kun! Chase them and defeat them!"

Panel 2
Link: "Ehh? Why can't we just let them go?"
Kanika: "What are you saying?!"

Panel 3
Kanika: "You were just agreeing to what I was saying earlier"
Kanika: "Why is there a need to be hesitating now?!"

Panel 4
Kanika: "Do you not wish to completely master the Master Sword?!"

Panel 5
Link: "About the monsters around here... "

(:?: There appears to be a bit of dialogue missing here. Judging from the ellipsis, this is either Link's line in panel 5, or the unseen speaker in panel 6. Either way, Kanika's line in panel 5 is missing, and whichever panel the line above isn't from, that panel is missing one bubble too. My guess is, panel 5 was left out entirely.)

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "Aren't these monsters Ganon's former underlings, whose forms have been changed..."
Link: "Because of his greed for the Triforce?"
Kanika: "That is correct"

Panel 2
Link: "Then wouldn't you be considering them as your comrades?"
Link: "And you're telling me to kill even the ones who retreat from battle?"

Panel 3
Kanika: "Comrades?"

Panel 4
Kanika: "Hmph"

Panel 5
Kanika: "I was forced to join them, so they could use me as their brains"
Kanika: "And you call them my comrades... hahah"

Panel 6
Kanika: "Now, quit jabbering and go take down as many enemies as you can!"
Kanika: "Just look at how high-spirited Rasuka-kun is when he fights!"

File 56
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "Lucky people like him don't have to worry about anything..."

Panel 4
Link: "... You know, about the previous Hero... "
Kanika: "Hm?"

Panel 5
Link: "... No... Nevermind"

Panel 1
Link: "Tch, Something's still bugging me"
Link: "Even though my goal is crystal clear"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Link: "Goal, eh?"
Link: "My goal right now... ."
SFX: ZUSHAH

Panel 2
Link: "Is to get the Master Sword to light up!"
SFX: CHAH

Panel 3
"And for that I gotta defeat monsters..."
SFX: ZUBAN

Panel 4
Link: "...beat 'em..."
SFX: KYUN

Panel 5
Link: "...and just beat 'em all till there's none left standing!"
SFX: DOSU

File 56
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "And light up the sword just like the previous Hero did!

Panel 2
Link: "I..."
SFX: DA

Panel 3
Link: "Am going to become a true hero!"
SFX: GABAAAA

Panel 4
???: "HERO?!"

--Side #1--
Panel 1
Previous Hero: "As long as you hold the soul of a hero"
Previous Hero: "That is when you also hold the sword's power!"

Panel 3
Link: "The soul of a hero... huh?"

Panel 4
Link: "This is... definitely not it..."

Panel 5
Link: "If you wanna run, you can go ahead and do so"
Link: "My enemies are only the ones who come at me!"

Panel 6
Moblins: ??

File 58

Panel 1
SFX: DOOOO

Panel 3
SFX: BASHI

Panel 4
SFX: VWOUU

Panel 5
SFX: HYUU

Panel 6
SFX: GYUUAAH

--Side #1--
Panel 1
SFX: DOSUU

Panel 2
SFX: SUTA

Panel 3
SFX: DO DO DO DO

Panel 4
SFX: HYU HYU

File 59
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Monster: "What's with this guy...?!"
Monster: "He's slowly advancing while dodging all our attacks...!"

Panel 2
SFX: DOH

Panel 3
SFX: GAKU (Cough?)

--Side #2--
Panel 1
SFX: HYUUU (Heavy breathing?)

Panel 2
Kanika: "Amazing... What splendid moves"
Kanika: "He's fighting in a completely different manner from just a few seconds ago?!"

Panel 3
Kanika: "However...!"
Rasuka: "What the heck, man? All of a sudden you're fighting all seriously!"

Panel 4
Link: "Even so, this thing still ain't lighting up, eh~?"
Kanika: "Yes, that is still the problem!"

Panel 5
Link: "Hmm... but... whatever, you know? It's okay"

File 60
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Kanika: "Eh?!"
Kanika: "It's... okay...?!"

Panel 2
"Well, I mean, it's still disappointing that I can't do what the previous hero could, but even so, I'm okay with it"
SFX: pan pan

Panel 3
Link: "If all it takes is to beat monsters like crazy"
Link: "Then I'll just sharpen the Master Sword my own way"

Panel 4
Link: "Since the goal of getting it to light up is clear"
Link: "There's nothing to worry about as long as we don't forget that fact, right?"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Kanika: "NO IT IS NOT!!!"
Kanika: "IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT RIGHT, LINK-KUN!!!"
SFX: ZUGYAAAAAH

Panel 2
Kanika: "You are the Master Sword's chosen one!"
Kanika: "So why is it that you deny who are and where you stand right now?!"

Panel 3
Kanika: "And not just that, but if you cannot get the Master Sword to light up, you will not be able to break the seal cast upon the maidens!"
Danchou: ?

Panel 4
Danchou: "The maidens' seal?"
Kanika: "That is correct - if the Master Sword cannot shoot its Balls of Light, then the maidens' seal will not be... "

Panel 5
Kanika: "Uh-!"

File 61
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Danchou: "The maidens' blockade technique carries the danger of being abused"
Danchou: "Details concerning it should all be top secret"
Danchou: "So how in the world do you know how to undo the seal?"

Panel 2
Kanika: "... Um..."

Panel 2
Kanika: "Uh, well, you know, I have been living here for 600 years, so..."
Kanika: "I am sort of a specialist when it comes to those things! There is nothing of which I am unaware"

Panel 3
Danchou: "..."
Danchou: "I see... "

Panel 4
Rasuka: "So then, it really is bad if you can't shoot them balls of light"
Link: "Well... I guess so, yeah"

Panel 5
Rasuka: "You sure you just wanna be saying that like you don't care?!"
Link: "Can't you just shut up for once? Why won't YOU give it a try then?!"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Rasuka: "Quit talking like it's actually possible. You saw just now how I couldn't even wield the sword"
Rasuka: "There's no one else right now who can actually use it but you!"

Panel 2
Link: "...!"
Link: "Oh yeah... That's right..."

Panel 3
SFX: HA HA HA
Link: "So that's it!"
Rasuka: "?"
Danchou: "?"

Panel 4
Link: "I'm the only one who can wield this thing"
Link: "Like Kanika said before, I've been chosen by the Master Sword"

Panel 5
Link: "There's no way such a legendary blade would just choose some random idiot who can't draw out its powers"
SFX: (:?: Missing from translation)
Link: "Am I wrong?"

File 62
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Link: "I have no idea how the previous hero did his thing, but"
Link: "Right now, I am the master of this sword"

--Side #2--
Panel 1
Link: "And of course, I'll put my all in it, in my own way"
Link: "Okay?"

Panel 2
Danchou: "Yes, you're right... yeah"
Danchou: "It probably will be okay"

Panel 3
Rasuka: "Link... you... "

Panel 5
Rasuka: "You sure have become good with false arguments"
Link: "WHAT'D YOU JUST SAY?!"

File 63
--Side #1--
Panel 1
Danchou: "Rasuka-kun was saying this too, but... "
Danchou: "Link's ambition is slowly fading now that he's been able to avenge his uncle" (:?: Is "ambition" the wrong term here? Danchou seems to be saying it like it's a bad thing. Is he actually referring more to anger or recklessness than ambition?)

Panel 2
Danchou: "There's no doubt that the battles will be getting harsher and harsher"
Danchou: "But there probably isn't anything to worry about any more"

Panel 3
Danchou: "No... There is still one thing..."

---Twilight Heroine---
Here some missing lines, some with the original parts so you know where to put them ;)
Hope this helps ^-^

File 51

--Side #2--

Panel 2
Link: "A projectile weapon...that shoots balls of light..."
Link: "but I can't get them out..?"



File 55

--Side #1--

Panel 5
Link: "Oh yeah..."
Kanika: "If that's the case, pursue!" Can also work as "Pursue if that's the case" or "follow" instead of pursue. However you like ^-^ 

Panel 6
Link?:..........
Link: "About the monsters around here... "




File 61

--Side #2--

Panel 5
SFX: Kakin (sheathing the sword)



File 63

--Side #1--

Panel 1
Danchou: "Rasuka-kun was saying this too, but... "
Danchou: "Link's drive is slowly fading now that he's been able to avenge his uncle" ambition was right, but maybe drive would work better in this case?
