Ye Olde Inn

Well, I'm taking a shot at translating the rest of the Quest Book. Quests 1-8 can be found here: http://oldscratch.smackwell.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1311159814/42#42 My translations won't be near as accurate since I don't read or speak Japanese. I'm going to let Google Translate do much of the work and then I'll just "translate" whatever Google spits out so it makes more sense. Hopefully someone will come along who knows the language better than I do. *crosses fingers*

So here we go.

Wow… Very good translation… It is as close to the original as possible!
In June, when I’ll have enough free time, I’ll make the pdf ready to print as booklet from your translation.

Thank you.
I'll point out again that I'd like someone who actually knows Japanese to check over my work before it gets an "official" look. But I guess if no one turns up before June, then you can go ahead and make the booklet. Just add my disclaimer that I don't actually know Japanese. Thanks.

A manga stylization of the original cover, perhaps?
