Geru:

Well... The thing is...
Geru:
リンクが３人も現れたので 取り合えず つかまえたのを…
Three Links showed up, so we figured we'd catch one of them, and-

No...
Billy:
そんな！！
No...!!
Billy:
わーっ！！
おいらのせいだ！！
Waaahh!
It's all my fault!!
Billy:
姫を守るどころか足手まといになって
I was s'pposed to protect her, but I was just draggin' ya down...!
Billy:
それで それで…
An' now... Now she's...
Link:
キミのせいじゃない
It's not your fault.
Link:
姫を守り切れなかったのは ボクの力がたりなかったのだ
I couldn't protect the princess. Because I wasn't strong enough.
Link:
やはり つえれてくるべきではなかった…
I really should've never brought her along...
Billy:
でも… でも
But... B-but...

Ganon:
ふん やはり ゼルダの血だったか
Hmph. So it really was the blood of Zelda.
Ganon:
おかげで…

But, Lord Ganon...
Ganon:
そいつは わしがじかに手をくだす！！
I shall end him with my own hands!!
Ganon:
お前らに 殺させてたまるか！！
I forbid you to kill him!!
Geru:

これからは ガノンの攻撃は ボクに集中するだろう
Ganon will probably focus his attacks on me from now on.

今のボクには キミ達を 守り切る 自信がない
I don't believe I'll be able to protect you as I am now.
Billy:
でも…
But-
Link:
それに…
And also...
Link:
ゼルダ姫を こんな所にうめるわけにいかない
I can't lay Princess Zelda to rest in a place like this.
Link:
あまりに さみしすぎる
城に帰してあげたい…
It's too lonely out here.
I want you to bring her back to the castle...

君達…
You guys...?
Grumpy Fairy:
君達じゃないわよ
Don't just go "you guys" at us.
Grumpy Fairy:
選ばれた戦士のくせにだらしない
You're pretty shabby for a chosen warrior.
Tuft Fairy:
まあまあ そんなに いじめないで
Now, now, let's not be too mean to him.
Tuft Fairy:
それより けがの手当てを
We should take care of his wounds, alright?
Link:
君達は もう ハイラルにはいないかと思っていた
I thought you'd all left Hyrule already...
Tuft Fairy:
そんなことないわよ
Well, that's not true.

That's right! We've been hiding, though.
Tuft Fairy:
あなたが 気付かなかっただけ
You just didn't notice.
Grumpy Fairy:
そ！！ ゼルダ姫しか目に入ってなかったんでしょ
Yeah! You only had eyes for Princess Zelda, didn't you?
Tuft Fairy:

We can't bring the dead back to life.
Link:
残るは トライフォース
All that's left is the Triforce.
Link:
３つそろえば もしかしたら…
Maybe, once I unite all three of them...

You're going so soon?

There's bound to be some of us around!
Tick:
気をつけて
Be careful!
Tock:
ムチャしないでね！！
Don't do anything stupid!
Tick:
今 リンクに必要なのは 私達じゃなくて
What Link needs right now isn't us.
Tock:
心の支えなのね
He needs some emotional support, yeah?
Tick:
トライフォースで 死んだ者を生きかえらせるなんて
But, using the Triforce to bring someone back to life...
Tick:
聞いたことないけどでも……
I've never heard of something like that...

I am the elder of Kasuto-
Old Man:
元 長老というべきかな
Well, former elder, I suppose.
Elder of Kasuto:
そうか ゼルダ姫が……
I see... Princess Zelda has...
Elder of Kasuto:
残念なことじゃ…
How very unfortunate...
Elder of Kasuto:
しかし そなたが 守るべき物はまだ 残っている
But, you still have something you must protect.
Elder of Kasuto:
気づかぬかな
Are you aware of it?
Elder of Kasuto:
新しい カストへ行って見なされ
Go to the new Kasuto and see it for yourself.

新カスト！？
New Kasuto?

Elder of Kasuto:
魔物達が この街を荒らすようになってな
The monsters started laying waste to this town.
Elder of Kasuto:
街の者たちは 安全な場所を求めて 東の森へうつりすんだ
So, the townspeople moved to the forest east of here, to look for a safe place.
Elder of Kasuto:
そこへ 行けば 何か見つかるかも知れん そなたにとって
If you go there, you might just find something.
Elder of Kasuto:
大切な物が……
Something important to you...
Link:
ありがとう 行ってみます
Thank you. I will go check it out.
Elder:
うむ
Hm.
Elder of Kasuto:
その大切な何かを見つけから
Once you've found this important something...

The Triforce is useless like this!
Masked Man:
ゼルダめ やりおったな…
Curse that Zelda! Surely this was her doing...
Geru:
しかし 死んだゼルダも リンクめも トライフォースのかけらは…
But, both Zelda's body and that miserable Link had no Triforce fragments on them...
Masked Man:
持っていなかったのか！？
Are you sure they didn't?!

はい たしかに
Yes, definitely.

Masked Man:
第３のトライフォースを手にできるのはヤツだけなのだ
何とか ヤツに捜し出させたい…
He's the only one who can obtain the third Triforce part.
I want him to find it for us...
Masked Man:
リンクが第３のトライフォースを手にしたところを横からいただく
And once Link has obtained the third Triforce part...
Masked Man:
そのためにも…
We can swoop in and take it from him...
Masked Man:
とにかく カケラを先に奪うにだ！！
But first things first, you need to steal those fragments!
Masked Man:
ヤツを殺さずにな！！
Without killing him!

Stealing some fragments?!
You DARE asking me, Ganon, to carry out such a lowly task for you?!

In order to protect the children from monsters, we left Kasuto behind and came here.

いつの間にか このあたりも 魔物どもに かこまれてしまって…
However, it did not take long for the monsters to overrun this area as well...

乱丸のぼやきコーナー
Ran Maru's Rambling Corner
第一巻で、乱丸はオッサンだ、と書いたせいか最近
はプロフィールを教えて…という手紙はだいぶん少しなく
なってきたけれど、それでもまだいくらかあるので、
今回はそのプロフィールの一部を大？公開！！！
Recently, we haven't been getting as many letters
asking "please show us your profile" anymore...
Maybe because I wrote "Ran Maru is an old dude" in the first volume.
But we are still getting some of them, so here's the grand (?) unveiling of the first part of said profile!
乱丸 １２月２日生まれ 射手座のB型
（ドラミちゃんと同じ誕生日らしいが、
本当だろうか？）３０と…歳
Ran Maru: born December 2nd, Sagittarius, blood type B
(Apparently I share a birthday with Dorami-chan?
Is that right?), 30...ish years old.
体型 ずんぐりむっくり
Body Type: round and chubby
デビュー作 カットやらイラストの
仕事が多かったし、２ページとか
３ページとかの仕事も多かったので
はっきりしないが、ほぼオリジナルと
いう意味では『高麗純一物語』（わん
ぱっくコミック創刊号掲載）だと思っ
ています。
Debut work: I did a lot of smaller pieces and illustrations,
and jobs that were 2 or 3 pages long, so I'm not really sure.
As for my first semi-original work, I think that would've been
"Korai Jun'ichi Monogatari" (published in the first issue of Wanpakku Comics.)
アシスタント歴 非常に長い。
Worked under: lots of people.
「今月の命言」で編集さんが「せっせとお返事書いて
ます。」などと書いたものだから、返事の手紙をよこせ
というファンレターが増えてしまった。ありがたいけど
全部に書いている暇がなくて、年賀状程度でお茶を濁し
てしまっている状態で、ごめんなさい。それさえだいぶ

An editor wrote "I am busy writing replies" in the "Wisdom of the Month",
so I've been getting a lot more fan letters asking for replies.
Thank you very much, but I don't have that much time to reply to all of them,
and sorry if they end up sounding a bit stock greeting card-esque as a result.
I know I've been lagging behind there, thank you for your patience.
最近 ワープロに凝っているので、今回はワープロで打ってみました。（イラストも）
リンクのマドンナさん、住所をしらせなさい！
I've been getting into word processors lately, so I tried typing on one this time around (for illustrations, too.)
Miss "Link's Madonna", please tell me your address!
