Cuthbert
In the days before the Calamity, my grandfather was village elder of Boughbury. We tried─gods be good, we tried─to reclaim his home, but to no avail. Passed away last year, he did...
With his last breath, he spoke of a family heirloom, an axe passed down for generations. Now those Redbelly whoresons use it to split wood─mockin' us all the while. The Twelve take me if I allow those bastards to besmirch Grandfather's memory any longer. You'll bring it back for me, won't you?
- FR Si je tenais un de ces fumiers, j'en ferais du petit bois avec cette même hache ! ‘If I got my hands on one of those bastards, I'd make kindling of him with that very axe!’ English vows not to let them besmirch Grandfather's memory; French threatens to chop them into kindling with the axe.
- DE Sie wissen nichts von ihrem Wert und scheren sich auch nicht darum. ‘They know nothing of its value and do not care about it either.’ English says they use the axe while mocking the family; German says they are ignorant of its value.
- JA その家宝も、価値も知らない「似我蜂団」の奴らに、薪割り用の斧にされてしまっているらしいんだ。 ‘That heirloom has apparently been turned into a wood-splitting axe by those Wasps who do not even know its value.’ English says they use the axe while mocking the family; Japanese says they do not even know its value.
Deliver the Boughbury Axe to Cuthbert.
Cuthbert
Well? Were you able to reclaim the axe from those bloody thieves?
Just as Grandfather always described it! You're a godssend, friend. Grandfather, I swear to you─the next time a Redbelly sees this axe, it'll be buried in his good-for-naught skull!
- DE Auf sie will ich schwören, dass ich diese Halunken eines Tages aus Astlfingen vertreibe! ‘On it I will swear that one day I will drive these scoundrels out of Astlfingen!’ English vows to bury the axe in a Redbelly's skull; German vows to drive the scoundrels out someday.
- JA 俺、いつかあいつらを追い出してやるからな……！ ‘I'll drive those guys out one day, you'll see...!’ English vows to bury the axe in a Redbelly's skull; Japanese vows to drive them out someday.
