07x34 - Strike When the Sword and Overlord are Hot/Oil Rain

[bunniefuu]

Smith,Sign: Swordsmith

Te: Apparently they discovered a new metal on a remote planet.

Warning,Sign: Tetsuko's request: Watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV.

Te: As a smith, I really want to get some of it.

Te: So look after the store while I'm gone.

Te: I'm counting on you all.

Gin: What a weirdo.

Gin: She's looking for orichalcum in this era of sword prohibition?

Shin: But she doesn't seem to be short on customers.

Shin: I wonder what they're like.

Gin: Let's see...

Gin: This is a fine sword, but it shows no sign of use whatsoever.

Gin: Its owner must be a bakufu official who slings it on his waist as an accessory.

Gin: This one's unsigned, but has been reforged several times.

Gin: I'd say it's a radical Joi rebel's w*apon of choice.

Kag: Then, Gin-chan...

Kag: What kind of person would you say was using this sword?

Gin: That's a sword of destruction that a soldier picked up

Gin: without knowing it was cursed, couldn't unequip it,

Gin: and thus kept using it.

Shin: The owner came along with it!

Kag: What? This isn't a strap?

Shin: Why would you use the corpse of a soldier as a strap?!

Shin: Who in their right mind—

H: Pardon me.

H: I'd asked for a sword to be repaired. Is it done yet?

Shin: A customer from a whole different setting showed up!

Sign: Strike When the Sword and Overlord are Hot

Smith,Sign: Swordsmith

H: I see.

H: So Tetsuko-dono isn't around.

H: Pardon the late introduction.

Overlord,H: Hero Lotosix

H: I'm Hero Lotosix, from the planet Hero.

H: The Galactic Overlord, Tiramisu, threatens the peace of the galaxy,

H: so I'm on a journey to take him down.

H: But in the midst of our travels,

H: the soldier Takeshi equipped a cursed w*apon, leading to this situation.

Shin: Uh, instead of a smithy,

Shin: shouldn't you visit a church to lift the curse?

Box,Sign: Lift Curse Revive

H: The sword of destruction may be cursed, but it's a powerful w*apon.

H: I wanted this corpse removed so that the sword may be used.

Shin: That's what you asked for? And you call yourself a Hero?!

Gin: But the sword of destruction is usable this way.

Gin: You can get rid of the corpse, but the curse won't go anywhere.

Gin: So instead of using it directly,

Gin: equip it along with Takeshi.

Shin: Takeshi will curse you!

H: I see!

H: This way, Takeshi can rest in peace, too!

Shin: You're only using Takeshi at this point!

H: No wonder this smithy is renowned across the galaxy.

H: Please, use your considerable skill to grant another of my requests.

H: The only thing capable of defeating the Galactic Overlord, Tiramisu,

H: is a sword that only the Hero of legend may draw,

H: the Galactic Holy Sword, Cosmos.

H: But it has remained dormant for so long, it has been considerably damaged.

H: I'd like you to reforge this sword.

Shin: You haven't drawn it out!

Shin: That thing doesn't recognize you as the Hero at all!

Shin: You just ripped out the sword along with the rock!

H: The Overlord draws ever nearer.

H: Since time was running out, I went at it with an excavator.

Shin: What kind of Hero are you?!

Shin: Just go defeat the Overlord with your excavator!

H: The final battle is almost upon us.

H: Please hurry.

Smith ,Sign: Swordsmith

H: Ready it while we get some rest at an inn.

Shin: Wait a second!

Shin: Take Takeshi with you!

Shin: What do we do, Gin-san?

Kag: The fate of the universe is riding on this.

Kag: We can't ignore it.

Gin: If it's just yanking the sword out, we could handle it ourselves.

Shin: But this is a legendary sword that even the Hero couldn't yank out.

Gin: Well, we have legendary dom queens here.

Shin: Yank, not wank!

Shin: It really won't budge an inch.

Kag: You can't think of it as yanking the sword out of the rock.

Kag: Just remove the rock from the sword!

Shin: She broke it!

Shin: She broke the legendary sword!

Kag: So this is the legendary jackknife...

Shin: I've never heard of that before!

Kag: With this jackknife, slitting the Overlord's throat should be a cinch.

Shin: I've never heard of the Hero taking on the Overlord with a jackknife!

Shin: What do we do about this?

Shin: At this rate, the Hero's gonna lose to the Overlord!

O: Pardon me!

Shin: Wh-Who are you people?!

O: So you're the so-called finest smiths in the galaxy?

O: Um, I have an appointment.

O: I'm Galactic Overlord Tiramisu.

Overlord,Sign: Galactic Overlord Tiramisu

O: I brought my sword, so could you take a look at it?

Shin: Y...

Shin: You, too?!

O: The thing is...

O: I'm plotting to take over the universe,

O: but this Hero stands in my way.

O: The only thing that can defeat the Hero is the Evil Galactic Sword, Machinas,

O: which only the true Overlord may draw.

O: I got my hands on that legendary evil sword, which is all well and good,

O: but it has remained dormant for ten thousand years and has grown completely rusted.

Shin: Where the hell did you stick it?

peaches,Shin: Canned Peaches

Shin: Were you trying to open a can of peaches with it?

O: I could not hope to duel the Hero with the sword in this state.

O: I want you to reforge it at once.

O: To help you with the job,

O: I shall leave one of my men, Rotting Kiyoshi, with you.

Box,Sign: A Rotting Kiyoshi appeared!

Sign: Finish the job before Kiyoshi completely rots away.

Sign: I'm counting on you.

Shin: He's not gonna be of any help!

Shin: This is just harassment!

Shin: First the Hero,

Shin: and now even the Overlord left his sword with us.

Shin: You're breaking that one, too?!

Gin: Of course.

Gin: If one of the swords were shorter than the other, they'd find out we broke it.

Gin: But if they were of similar length,

Gin: they'd think that's how legends go, and shrug it off.

Shin: As if!

Shin: What are they, legendary idiots?!

Shin: If they find out, they'll demand a legendary amount of compensation!

Gin: Hey, isn't the Hero's sword a bit longer here?

Kag: We should give the Hero an advantage.

Gin: You moron! Smiths don't take sides!

Gin: A smith only focuses on striking the metal in front of him with all his might!

Shin: I don't want to hear that from a guy breaking swords with all his might.

Gin: Break off a little more from the Hero's sword.

Kag: Huh?

Kag: Now the Overlord's is longer.

Gin: The Hero's is longer again.

Kag: The Overlord's is longer again.

Gin: This is harder than I thought.

Gin: So these are...

Bo: ...the legendary beam sabers!

Shin: You're not fooling anyone!

Shin: They were better off being stuck in a rock and a can of peaches!

Gin: That's it!

Gin: Let's stick them back in something to hide their lengths.

Gin: We'll say that when we removed the rock and a can of peaches,

Gin: they were stuck in a Hero and an Overlord.

Shin: That's Takeshi and Kiyoshi!

Kag: All right.

Kag: Now if we give the Overlord's corpse to the Hero

Kag: and the Hero's corpse to the Overlord when we return the swords, it'll all be settled.

Gin: But there's just one problem.

Gin: We have the Hero's and the Overlord's swords,

Gin: but which was which?

H: How many times do I have to tell you?!

Box ,Sign: A Hero appeared! A Wizard appeared! A Fighter appeared!

H: Don't walk in a line! Move side by side!

G: Ever since he equipped the legendary sword,

G: he's become so aggressive, he's like a totally different person.

G: His breath smells kinda sweet,

G: and he even emits freezing waves every now and then.

O: How many times do I have to tell you guys?!

O: Walk in a single line!

O: Anyone who steps out of line gets sent to the cart!

G: Everything's changed since he got his hands on that sword.

G: Lately, he's been calling us his "party,"

G: and opening chests in people's homes without permission.

Smith,Sign: Swordsmith

Shin: They totally got swapped!

Shin: We've gotta return them to normal quick!

Kag: Does it really matter?

Kag: Heroes and Overlords aren't all that different.

Gin: It's like how at the end of people's lives,

Gin: you can't tell if grandpas and grannies are men or women.

Shin: It's nothing like that!

Shin: At any rate, we should return the swords to their original owners.

Gin: I don't mind,

Gin: but whose sides were Takeshi and Kiyoshi on?

Ki: Hey, Hero.

Ki: Off to the cart with you.

Ki: You've forgotten that your job is to take out the Overlord.

Ki: You have no right to lead a party!

Ki: Get lost!

W: Our great Hero, Kiyoshi-sama!

Ki: I'm no Hero.

Ki: In the past, I was defeated by the Overlord

Ki: and manipulated without being allowed to die.

Ki: I'm nothing but a filthy puppet!

Ki: I'm nothing but rotten Kiyoshi.

Ki: But now that the holy sword has revived me, I understand.

Ki: What's truly filthy and rotten

Ki: is your heart, Overlord!

Ta: What's wrong, Tiramisu?

O: Nothing, sire.

Ta: Do your scars ache?

Ta: So do mine.

Ta: The curse inside me and

Ta: this sword of destruction bay for the blood

Ta: of the Hero, who left me to die because he was too cheap to pay the church's fee.

Ta: The final battle draws near.

Ta: Do not forget to keep your weapons in shape.

O: Yes, great Overlord Takeshi-sama!

Ki: I have returned.

Ta: I have returned.

Shin: Who are you?!

Shin: The legendary swords revived something outrageous!

Gin: So, which is Takeshi and which is Kiyoshi?

Shin: Does it matter?!

Gin: Haven't they gotten a lot bigger since the last time we saw them?

Kag: That one's a bit longer.

Kag: That's not fair.

Gin: No good.

Gin: Now this one's bigger.

Shin: Wait, Gin-san...

Kag: Now this one's bigger again.

Gin: So these are...

Bo: ...the legendary beam sabers!

Shin: We're back to square one!

Shin: Do you guys have to keep striking until the blade's gone each time?!

Gin: I told you,

Gin: a smith only focuses on striking metal with all he's got.

Shin: I get it now.

Shin: You guys aren't cut out to be smiths!

Te: Nah, you might be surprisingly good fits.

Shin: Tetsuko-san!

Shin: Thanks for looking after the store.

Shin: Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of that legendary metal,

Shin: but thanks to you, I discovered something even better.

Shin: These swords were forged to prevent conflict.

Shin: They are undeniably legendary swords.

Shin: Try giving them these.

Shin: I'm sure your feelings will reach them.

O: This is no time to be fighting among ourselves.

H: Yes.

H: We have more important things to do.

O: Change of plans, men!

Box ,Sign: Fight Switch Flee Tactics

H: The Hero party and Overlord army will cooperate

Box ,Sign: Go Hard Go Easy Go All-Out Follow Orders

H: and go all-out to demand compensation!

Box ,Sign: Fight Switch Flee Tactics

Te: I don't know about that conflict, though.

Ta: Excuse me.

Ta: Mind if I stand next to you for a while and take shelter from the rain?

Ta: We both have it rough, don't we?

Ta: Moisture is the natural enemy of us machines.

Ta: If only it rained oil,

Ta: we could be free, too.

Ta: Oh, looks like it's let up.

Ta: I'll be taking my leave, then.

Ta: Let's both do our best at our jobs.

Title: Oil Rain

Cigarettes,Sign: Cigarettes

Tam: Excuse me.

Tam: A carton of Fair Weather cigarettes, please.

BB: Tama-chan?

BB: I guess this will be your last errand to this place.

BB: Take this chance to tell Tose to quit smoking.

Tam: So you are closing up shop?

BB: Never thought that poison-smoking hag would outlast me.

Tam: Otose-sama says, "I'll wait however long it takes to get your illness cured.

Tam: I'd hate to see a shop that sells Fair Weather go away forever,

Tam: so come back, even if you have to do it as a vending machine."

BB: Even if I reopened this seedy shop,

BB: the only customers I'd have would be weird hags.

BB: My partner and I, we've both grown too old.

BB: It's high time we called it quits.

Tam: Partner?

BB: Yeah.

BB: The junk heap that's worked with me for years

BB: and gotten even more broken down than I have.

BB: Now it's just scrap metal that's taking shelter from the rain.

Hij: Hey, Gran.

Hij: I put some cash in, but I'm not getting any cigarettes or change back.

Hij: What's going on here?

BB: How many times do I have to tell you?

BB: That thing isn't too good at math,

BB: so you have to pay it in exact change!

Hij: How can a vending machine be bad at math?

BB: Not there! Here!

Hij: Oh, something came out.

Hij: Isn't this mine?

Hij: Hold on a second!

Hij: Why is this vending machine smoking my cigarettes?!

BB: You probably put it in a foul mood by kicking it in the wrong place.

Hij: A vending machine shouldn't be sulking!

Hij: Gimme back my cigs and money!

BB: Don't you dare give him any change, you junk heap!

Hij: You two are in cahoots, aren't you?!

Tam: Please cease your violent behavior.

Tam: No machine is junk.

Tam: Its body can no longer keep up with its heart, is all.

Tam: It's all right.

Tam: You can let everything out today.

Tam: I'll listen to it all.

BB: It let something else out!

Tam: It's hungover, it seems.

BB: Which vending machine did this vending machine buy One Cup from?!

Hij: So it can still do its job if it tries.

Hij: Now I won't have to buy cigarettes for a while.

BB: You thief!

BB: Somebody call the police!

Hij: I am the police. What do you want?

Cigarettes Small,Sign: Cigarettes

Tam: Huh?

Tam: My umbrella suddenly won't open.

Tam: What do I do?

Tam: The ingredients will get soaked.

Tam: Excuse me.

Tam: Mind if I take shelter from the rain for a while?

Tam: That doesn't count as slacking off from the job, right?

Note,Sign: For personal reasons, we'll be closed for a while. - Owner

Tam: Don't worry.

Tam: I'm sure she'll be healthy again in no time.

Tam: So please don't think you've been abandoned.

Tam: You're not scrap metal.

Tam: After all,

Tam: you have a customer who needs you right here.

Tam: But a carton for yen is too generous.

Tam: Sell one at a time in the future.

Tam: That way, I'll be able to come every day.

Tam: Are you crying?

Tam: Let's both do our best at our jobs.

Snack,Sign: Snack Otose

Gin: Huh?

Gin: Tama got a boyfriend?

Gin: A boy...

Gin: Wait, does gender even apply to machines?

Oto: You men are too dense.

Oto: You can't pull the wool over a woman's eyes, though.

Gin: A woman's eyes?

Gin: Wait, does gender even apply to hags?

Oto: Every time I send her out to buy cigarettes lately,

Oto: she always comes back late.

Oto: With the wrong brand, even.

Oto: Also...

Book,Sign: How to Talk to Quiet People

Oto: She's been skimming through some weird data when she has time.

Gin: She's just brushing up on her customer service.

Gin: You're overthinking this.

Oto: I'm just worried she fell for a bad guy.

Oto: Besides, don't you think it's strange that

Oto: someone as careful as her would forget her umbrella?

Gin: Beats me.

Gin: She's probably taking shelter from the rain somewhere.

G: What? It's closed?

G: Oh, well. Guess I'll have to use the junk vending machine.

Tam: One pack of cigarettes. yen in change.

G: Now that's unusual. It actually worked!

Cigarettes ,Sign: Cigarettes

Tam: Two packs of cigarettes. yen in change.

Has: I finally picked up this pocket change, but...

Tam: One butt.

Hij: I wonder if I'll get lucky again.

Tam: One point.

Has: Why are we being singled out?!

Hij: Why are you barking out weird orders from the side?!

Tam: What are you talking about?

Tam: I'm only taking shelter from the rain.

Bo: You'll pay for this!

G: It's always like that.

G: She comes to buy cigarettes without an umbrella in this rain,

G: and stands there talking to the vending machine.

G: She's even given it the nickname "Tobako-san."

Gin: Tobako, eh?

Gin: Thanks. You were a great help.

G: Wait up, Boss!

G: What exactly is going on there?

Gin: Isn't it obvious?

Gin: They're just friends.

Tam: Oh, the rain's let up.

Tam: I'll be leaving, then.

Tam: Tobako-san?

Tam: Don't worry.

Tam: I'll be back to buy cigarettes again tomorrow.

Tam: No...

Tam: Cigarettes or no cigarettes, I'll be back

Tam: to take shelter from the rain.

Tam: Huh?

Fair,Sign: Fair Weather

Tam: This is...

Tam: Tobako-san, did you keep this from me because you thought I would stop coming

Tam: if I finished my errand?

Tam: This will put a smile on Otose-sama's face.

Tam: It looks like we're no longer pieces of junk.

Sold,Sign: Sold Out

Tam: What's wrong, Tobako-san?

Tam: I'll take a look right away...

Gen: I'm sorry to say this, but it can't be repaired.

Gen: Tama, she's done her job.

Gen: That old lady won't be coming back, right?

Gen: This cigarette shop is done for.

G: It's pretty run-down.

G: The whole thing might crumble at once.

G: Be careful.

G: Huh?

G: Wasn't there a...

Tam: It's all right.

Tam: You're not scrap metal.

Tam: You have me,

Tam: your friend!

Tam: Even if you can no longer sell cigarettes,

Tam: or be of help to people,

Sign,Sign: Illegal dumping! Remove this trash at once!

Tam: what does that matter?

Tam: Why can't a machine exist just so people can take shelter from the rain with it?

Gin: I forgot my umbrella.

Gin: Let me take shelter for a bit.

Tam: There's no longer a roof here that'll keep out the rain.

Gin: That's fine.

Gin: I just found a machine I wanted to take shelter from the rain with.

Gin: Besides, the rain has already let up.

Fair,Sign: Fair Weather

Gin: So you don't have to take shelter from the rain anymore.

Gin: You can forget about your duty now.

Gin: At least in the very end,

Gin: wipe the rain off her

Gin: not as a machine, but as simply a buddy.

Tam: Tobako-san...

Gin: If you don't stop her already,

Gin: she really will rust into scrap metal.

Tam: You never learn.

Tam: How many times have I told you...

Tam: Whether you're selling or crying, do so one pack at a time.

Tam: But just for today, I'm sure nobody will find out.
