[konekoのおもちゃ箱] 英訳化プロジェクト ⑧ Pig Admiral Ojam 8 Silent Neo-Moon Song

Ojam and Sasha were loss
at the entrance of the forest.
In the meantime,
the sky turned into orange
with the setting sun sets.

Ojam reluctantly pulled Sasha's hand
and began walking
without knowing where to go.

"Oh, we can't stay anywhere"
Ojam sighed deeply.
"Is there no place to stay?"
Sasha asks.

"Oh, That's right.
Where should I stay tonight ..."
As the two walked,
stars appeared in the sky, shining as if
they were in contact with each other.

"Hey, Ojam. I become tired.",saying
Sasha sat down on the ground.
"No, Sacchan. If you sit in such a place,
you'll be eaten by wild dogs or wolves."

"But, I'm tired. I can't walk anymore.
Ojam, you go alone ..."
Sasha was completely exhausted.

It's no wonder,
since she is still a five-year-old child.
Even though, this patient child didn't cry.

"Sacchan, If we don't do our best now
we'll be in a big terrible at this place!

We must be found by dangerous people
who do the slave trade.."
The two are completely in a trouble.
While doing so,
wild dogs echoed in the distance.

They should find a place to stay or
they seemed to be in dangerous.
"It can't be helped ...
Since I'm Admiral and you are subordinate
it's awkward for me to carry on you,
but it's special!"

Ojam carried Sasha on his back and
began to walk again.
"Your back is very warm ...
It look like my daddy."
Sasha laughs happily on the 
Ojam's back.
"Where is Sasha's dad?"
"Daddy ... I don't have it anymore,
He passed away a little ago ..."
"Oh... How about your mom?"
"Mom is also gone"
"I see ... You are same as me"
Ojam paused for a moment obliviously.

While walking a little,
Sasha was sleeping on Ojam's back.
Ojam walks silently.

One hour later,
a light came into the distance.
It's a long way from the forest,
but he still could see
the nearest small village.

It was the village
where the farmers making their living
with running their livestock yard.
Ojam entered the village,
relying on the faint light from several houses.

There were no people walking outside
and it was deserted.
Ojam struck the doors asking for
the place to stay at the night,
but most of them ignored him.

Sometimes he got a reply,
but when he said
"I'm an Admiral.
Please let us stay overnight."
there was no reply came back.
After all, none of the houses
even opened the door.

Nevertheless, when he went to
the back of the village without giving up,
there was a small hill.
Thus, he climbed up there,
and found a house that were built lonely.
There was a farmhouse
for the Gosaku family.
Ojam hit the house door once,
twice ... three times.
Then Gosaku opened the door.

There was Gosaku who seems just like a farmer 
having a strong sunburn in a straw hat stood
with his arms crossed.
"What, are you begging?"
"No, I'm an Admiral.
Please let us stay overnight."
"Admiral! Where is the Admiral
who wears such a rag and
asks his house at such a late night!"
After Gosaku splashed the water
in the bucket on Ojam,
he got angry and slapped the door.

Ojam dripping water from his head
felt more distressing than ever.
However, considering Sasha,
he had to find a place
to surpass the night dew.
He looked around and
found a pig house.
Twenty or more pigs were
bred in the pig house
on the ground of Gosaku.
Ojam found a hay yard their.
It also has a roof and it will be able to
 outdo the night dew.
Ojam laid the sleeping Sasha on hay
and laid the grass on her body.
Then, he also lay down,
and fell asleep immediately
because he was so tired.

Early next morning ...
"Wake up! Wake up!!"
Ojam woke up with the loud voice of Gosaku.
When Ojam opened his eyes,
Gosaku, who had a ferocious look,
was staring at Ojam with a sour face.
"It's an Admiral! It's a beggar!
Is there anyone
who did sneak in and sleep here!"

When Gosaku screamed,
the pigs in the pig house were surprised
and screamed all at once.
Ojam looked down with pity.
"I'm gonna kick you out to the army!"
When Gosaku was angry,  his mother Onet
who lived with him came over.

Onet is almost blind and
seemed to have a hard time to walk,
dragging her legs.
"Hey Gosaku ...
Why are you making such loudy noise
from this early morning!"

"My mom, no, listen to me!
The beggar who asked to stay at
our house last night sneaked up at
our pig house and sleep on the hay!"

"Oh no ..."
Onet slowly approached,
squinting her eyes and looking at Ojam.
Then laughed, "Ahaha"
"Gosaku. Look!
He is a kid with a pig-like face!"
"What ?!"
Gosaku made a weird voice.
"Thanks to the pigs, we can make our lives "
"Oh, but ... what do you want to say, Mom!"

"Isn't this kid like a pig here
with destiny?"
"Mother's religious mind has begun again"
Gosaku says amazed.
However, he may feel something
with her words.
Gosaku kept his face close to
Ojam and stared at it.
"I see ... the more I look at it,
the more piggy it looks.
If I think of a pig, he looks like a person,
but
if I think of a person, he looks like a pig.

"This is a mystery, isn't it?
We'd better not handle it carelessly."
Onet says it sacredly.
Gosaku crossed his arms and think deeply.
Then Sasha, who was sleeping in the hay,
awoke, and show her face abruptly.

Both Gosaku and Onet were
very surprised at this.
"This is amazing!
A little child was born from grass!"
Onet smiled with a roar of laughter
and said it,

"Mom, Don't be joking,
no matter what ... these guys are ..."
Gosaku is surprised and frightened.

"Hey, Gosaku. We only live together, so 
we'll be able to manage with
about two children.
And we need manpower.
It's a pathetic child without lodging,
so why don't we do it?"

"Oh my mom, I don't know
what's going to happen if we put
these suspicious children at home ...
and we ourselves are
barely to eat currently..."

Sasha, came up from the grass, is smiling.
It was her first time to sleep in the grass,
and she felt very happy.

Then Gosaku couldn't
take his eyes off her pretty smile.
"Well, well,
I can't put them into our house.
but I wonder if a prefabricated hut
in a storage room would be fine ...
Besides, manpower is not enough, so
they should be able to clean the pig house."

Gosaku nodded.
Onet smiled back at Sasha
and went back to home.
This is how Ojam and Sasha could
live in a prefabricated hut
in Gosak's garden.
