Panel 3
それで何の用だ
What do you need?

用と言えば猫のことに決まっている
If we're talking about business, it goes without saying that it's about the cats.

Panel 4
猫問題では奉行所も頭を痛めているのだ。人は襲う食料は食い荒らす。まったくひどいものだ。
The magistrate's office is concerned about the cat problem, too. They attack people and devour food. It's serious.

奉行所は頭を痛めるぐらいですむが われわれ商人にとっては死活問題だ
The magistrate's office may be concerned about it but for our traders it's a matter of life and death.

10匹つかまえると50匹が助けにくるという有様で手のつけようがない

What does that mean?!

It wouldn't be strange if you were related to monstrous apparitions.

ハッハッハッ

あまりおだてるな。ぼくもそこまで顔は広くない
Don't flatter me too much. My face isn't that widely known.

こたえとらんな
No response.

163
Panel 1
しかし妖怪変化という着想はおそらく正解だろう。ぼくもそう思ったので一週間ほど前江戸で一番という評判の霊能者をやとったのだ
But the idea that's it's a monstrous apparition is probably correct. I thought so, too, so I hired Edo's most famous medium. 

霊能者？！
A medium?!

Panel 2
猫たちの動静をさぐりあわよくば主犯の妖怪を始末するよう頼んだのだが。。。
I asked him to explore the condition of the cats and deal with the principal apparition behind it.

どうなった？
What happened?

Panel 3
始末されたのは霊能者の方だ。二日後隅田川にうかんだよ
The medium was dealt with. He floated to the surface of the Sumida River two days ago.

Panel 4
そういえば頭部を食いちぎられた。無残な どざえもんがあがったと聞いたが
Which reminds me, his head was bitten off. That's a tragedy. I heard about a drowned body coming up but...

それだ。敵はよほど強力な奴にちがいない
It was him. Our enemy is surely a powerful person.

Panel 5
しかーし！
Buuut!

Panel 6
ぼくはあきらめるということを知らないのだ！江戸一番の霊能者がだめでもすぐ次の手をうった！
I don't know how to give up! Edo's best medium was no good but I need to take the next measure immediately!

どうしたのだ！
What is it?!

Panel 7
日本一の霊能者を呼んだ！
I called Japan's top medium!

発想がものすごく直線的だなあ
Your way of thinking is very linear.

殿下

日本一の霊能者か？！
Japan's top medium?!

Panel 3
以前飛騨へ旅行した時知りあったのだ。自他共に認める日本一の修験者様だ
I got to know him when he traveled to Hida before. He's Japan's top mountaineering ascetic who is recognized far and wide.

Panel 4
波多利郎殿
Mr. Patalliro.

Panel 5

Nice to see you!

まだ少年ではないか

Panel 7
伝書ゴキブリの知らせを受けてすぐかけつけました
I came right away when I received the notice from your messenger cockroach.

助かります！江戸は今たいへんなことになっているのです！
We're saved! Edo is in serious trouble right now!

165
Panel 1
おっしゃるな。江戸全体を包む妖気から見て妖怪が暗躍しているのは一目瞭然
Don't tell me. It's quite obvious from what I saw that a spirit from the depths is secretly maneuvering to envelop the whole of Edo.

Panel 2
どんな妖怪かわかりますか？！
You know what kind of spirit it is?!

Panel 3
おそらく
Perhaps

妖怪邪魅
an evil spirit.

Panel 4
いらっしゃったばかりで名前までおわかりか！
You know their name even though you just came?!

さすがだな！してその邪魅というのは？！
As expected! What about the evil spirit?!

Panel 5
猫が百年生きると尾が二つに分かれて猫またになります。その猫またがさらに三百年修行を積むと恐ろしく強力な妖怪邪魅になるのです
When a cat lives for over one hundred years its tail splits into to and it becomes a two-tailed cat. If that cat lives on for three hundreds years, if it becomes enlightened it'll become a terribly powerful evil spirit.

Panel 6
話を聞いただけでもすごそうだな。そいつを倒す方法は？
You seem to have heard a lot. How do we defeat him?

ありません
You can't.

Panel 7
えっ？
Eh?

Panel 8
邪魅は強すぎて倒すことなどできないのです
The evil spirit is too great, you can't defeat him.

166
Panel 1
しっ しかしやってみもしないでだめと決めつけるのは。。。
B, but you can't just decide that, we haven't even tried...

Panel 2
波多利郎の言う通りだ。君も日本一と言われる修験者ならまず敵と戦ってみてはどうかな
It's as Patalliro said. If you're the top mountaineering ascetic in Japan, how about you fight the enemy to start with?

Panel 3
むだです。わたしは邪魅にかないません
It's no use. I cannot rival the evil spirit.

Panel 4
なぜそれがわかるかと言うと
If I tell you why you'll understand.

Paper?! I have a piece in my kimono...

くれ
Give it here.

Panel 2
いやー 飲みこまれた時はもうだめかと思った。それでそのまま消化されるのはくやしいから腹の中でクソをしてやったのだ
Well, I thought it was no use when he swallowed me. So, figuring I was doomed to be digested, I took a poop inside his belly.

クソォ？！
A poop?!

クソの毒気にあたったらしいな。案外軟弱な奴だ
It seems my poop poisoned him. He was unexpectedly weak.

Panel 3
ちょっとケツをふいてくる
I farted a little.

なっ。。。！
Wha...?!

Panel 4
なんということだ。日本一の修験者がかなわぬ妖怪もあいつの排泄物には勝てなかったのか。。。！
What the hell?! The spirit had no trouble with Japan's top mountaineering ascetic but he won with his excretion...?!

Panel 5
やっぱりあいつは。。。人間じゃない。。。
As I thought, he's... not human...

Panel 6
さてその後 波多利郎は死んだ。邪魅の皮をはいで楽器を作りました
Patalliro died after that. He made an instrument with the skin of the evil spirit.

Panel 7
その楽器を鳴らすと猫たちはおびえてみんな江戸から出て行きました
When the instrument was played, cats were frightened and fled entirely from Edo.

ベソベソベソ
Beso beso beso - Whine whine

Panel 8

It was called Jamisen and was used as a prototype for the Shamisen.

We did it!

お指示通り芝増上寺の墓地を見張っておりましたらキッチリ現われまして。。。

If you have useless eyes you should scoop them out and paste them to silver paper. That's a man.

Panel 3

そうだ
Yes.

Panel 4

Hosoda, the person in charge, and Mori of Yomiuri TV, the new announcer.
*Mori Maki.

Panel 8
いやー 顔といい頭のどこかが切れてるようなふんいきといい。よく似てるんですねえ。初めてテレビで森アナを見た時は大笑いしました
Well, with her face and her good personality that seems sharp, they're totally alike. The first time I saw Mori as an announcer on the TV I smiled widely.

ハッハッハッ
Ha ha ha

Panel 9
さらに物語は続きます
Back to the main story.

176
Panel 1
というわけでおまえに来てもらったのだ
So I came to you.

Panel 2
いつもながらおまえのというわけでというのはわけがわからんな
As usual I don't know what you're talking about.

Panel 3
つまり老中がなぜ死体を欲しがるのか。さぐらねばならんのだ
In short, why does the council member want dead bodies? We need to investigate.

もう50体以上持っていってるよ
He already has over 50 bodies.

Panel 4
それともう一つ気になるのはおかかえ殺し屋の魔雷妃に墓荒らしをさせ始めた。二か月ほど前から上様が病床にふせっておられるのだ
Even more worrisome is that he retained the assassin Maraich to handle the grave robbers. About two months ago the shogun became sick.

Panel 5
将軍様が？！
The shogun?!

初耳だな
It's the first time he's heard about it.

Panel 6
老中水野といえば上様と仲の悪い紀州の息がかかっている人物だ。どうもこの二つのでき事の間の暗号があるような気がしてならん
Speaking of the council member Mizuno, he has the support of Kishuu, who is on bad terms with the shogun. I can't help but feel that there's a connection between those two things somehow.

Panel 7
そこでおまえの出番だ。将軍家御用達の呉服問屋として おまえ水野殿と面識があるだろう
So it's your turn. As the owner of the fabric wholesale store of the purveyor to the family who will accede the shogunate, you're probably acquainted with Mr. Mizuno.

もちろんだ。お納めした着物の代金は水野様からもらうんだ
Of course. I received the fees for the kimono from Lord Mizuno.

Panel 8
そこでだな。。。
So then...

177
Panel 1
水野
Mizuno

Panel 2
どーもー
Hello.

おお越後屋か。はて今夜殿と約束があったかな？
Ooh, Echigoya? Well, did you have an appointment tonight?

Panel 3
いえ 将軍様に献上いたしますお着物の件でご相談を。。。
No, I wanted to discuss the matter of presenting a kimono to the shogun...

おおそうか。商売とはいえ夜分おそくたいへんだな。よし通れ
Ooh, I see. Although it's business it's late at night, this is difficult. All right, you can pass.

Panel 4
まったく万古蘭の奴人使いが荒いんだから
Really, that Bancoran handles his workers roughly.

Panel 5
なんとか理由をつけて水野の屋敷にもぐり込み内部の様子をさぐってこい。魔雷妃は庭先より屋敷内へは入れんのだ。おまえだけが頼りだ
Find some reason to sneak into Mizuno's mansion and investigate the situation. Maraich can't get in from the yard. We're counting on you.

てなこと言って結局こき使うんだもんな
Whatever he says in the end he's working me hard.

Panel 6
それにしてもあの魔雷妃っての以前そっくりあのままのコスチュームで弁天小僧とか言ってなかったかなあ
At any rate, couldn't it be said that Maraich's costume from before is entirely like Benten Kozo?

Panel 7
どーも

Still, you came at a good time. I wanted to talk to someone and anyone will do.

なんでしょう。えらく顔色が悪いようですが。。。
What is it? You seem pale...

Panel 6
それも関係ある。。。実はわしは二か月ほど前ある中国人から恐ろしい物を買いとったのだ
That's related... Actually, about two months ago I bought something terrible from a Chinese person.

魍魎というのは水の妖怪でもともと魚のはらわたなどを食らっていた虫が変化してものなのだ。魍魎は人間のはらわたが大好物で それさえあたえておけばなんでも望みをかなえてくれるのだ。。。
The demon is a water spirit that was originally an insect that ate the guts of fish before changing. Human guts are its favorite food; it'll fulfill any wish if you give them to it.

Panel 4
わしは魍魎に死体をあたえて上様を病気にしてくれるよう頼んだ。。。上様が亡くなれば紀州公が次の将軍だからな。。。
I gave the demon dead bodies in order to ask that the shogun fall ill... If the shogun dies, Lord Kishuu will be the next shogun...

そうすればご自分ももっと出世できるというわけですね
If that happens I can get promoted higher.

Panel 5
と。。。ところが死体を集めさせていた手の者がつかまったということを聞いておどろいた。。。魍魎には毎日一体ずつ死体をあたえる約束をしていたのだ。。。
B... but, I was surprised to hear my subordinates who were collecting the bodies were caught... I promised to give the demon one body every day...

Panel 6
今日の分の死体がまだ届いてないわけですな。さぞ魍魎は腹をすかせてるでしょう
The body for today hasn't arrived yet. I'm sure the demon is probably hungry.

そ。。。そんななまやさしい奴ではない。。。
I... it's not a gentle thing...

Panel 7
あ。。。あやつ怒りおってわ。。。わしに襲いかかってきてわしのはらわたを。。。
If... if he gets mad... he'll attack me and eat my guts...

Panel 1
妖怪？！
A spirit?!

だが安心しろ。ぼくが焼き殺した
But stay calm. I burned it to death.

Panel 2
焼き殺したって。。。
"Burned it to death"...

おまえ あれをどうするつもりだ
What do you plan on doing about that?

えっ？！
Eh?!

Panel 3
この火事で江戸の半分が燃えました
This fire burned down half of Edo.

Panel 4
で 波多利郎がどうなったかというと
So, what happened to Patalliro?

Panel 5
当然火つけの罪で獄門はりつけになる所でしたが 水野家の焼け跡から妖怪の死骸が出てきたため将軍暗殺を未然に防いだことが立証され。両方プラスマイナスで八丈島への遠島ということになったのです
Naturally, he was put in prison for the crime of arson but in the ruins of the fire of the Mizuno home the corpse of the spirit was found so it was proven that he prevented the assassination of the shogun. Both sides gave some leeway and he was exiled to Hachijo Island.

Panel 6
なんだかかわいそうだね
Somehow that seems pitiful.

あいつがいない方が江戸が静かだ
Edo will be quiet without him here.

Panel 7
ぼくが何をしたっていうんだー！！
What did I do?!!

波多利郎妖怪談これにて一件落着
Patalliro settled the incident with the spirit.
