"Kami to Shinshi no Keiyaku" (The Contract between a God and a Familiar) Translations



Preview for 神と神使の契約 Drama CD is here! This is from the 8th track of the Hot Springs Drama CD so if you downloaded that, you will be able to find this track among the list. I will be translating both tracks of this particular Drama CD after I am finished with "Band Hajimemashita" バンドはじめました. Hope you enjoy this short version for now, it's pretty funny.

 Disclaimer: This is my first attempt in translations so they are not 100% accurate, but I try my best to stay as close to the original meaning and nuances.

Mikage: Tomoe! Tomoe, where are you?! Really.. Staggering out again today.Just where exactly is he and what is he doing..
Tomoe: What is it?
Mikage: Tomoe! I was looking for you. Didn't I tell you to inform me beforeyou head out?
Tomoe: Why do I have to go out of my way to tell you that? I am busy aswell.
Mikage: What are you busy with? You went looking for trouble again, didn'tyou?
Tomoe: Not trouble. I went around the vicinity of the shrine, chasing awaythe humans who are an eyesore.
Mikage: Even the humans..! Just which one is the evil spirit..

This is a few hundred years ago, a story before Tomoe became my familiar. The first time I met Tomoe, he sealed a contract with a fallen Godand was in a considerably weak state. But slowly, he became like this..

Tomoe: -Cackling- Run, run for your life. If you're roasted properly, I'll make you my dinner for tonight. -Continues cackling-
Mikage: The demon Tomoe has a bad personality and slowly started arrogantly misbehavingoutside of the shrine again everyday.
-Tomoe cackles-

Tomoe: The Land God of this shrine, Mikage.. Although he is a God, he has ascrew loose somewhere in his head.
-Mikage hums and breaks something-
Tomoe: He just lets me freeload off him, without commanding me or demandinganything from me. The only fixed routine he established for me is to let himknow before I head out.
I am going to visit Tanuko (raccoon lady escorts).
Mikage: Alright, have a safe trip.
Tomoe: I am going to set fire on Demon Witch's house.
Mikage: Be careful about burning yourself.
Tomoe: I am going to destroy the bridge at the West Town.
Mikage: Fix it up well immediately after destroying it.
Tomoe: I am getting married.
Mikage: Make sure to hold the ceremony at Mikage Shrine.
Tomoe: Hey, bald bastard.
Mikage: Recently, I have a lot of black hair..
Tomoe: Does he have no interest in whatever I am doing? He doesn't getangry either.
Mikage, what is a familiar?
Mikage: What's up suddenly? Familiar is a servant of a God.
Tomoe: Don't you have one?
Mikage: Yeah, I don't like dogs so I can't have any of them as myfamiliars. Besides, a familiar and a God must bind their Fate together.
Tomoe: Fate? How do you do that?
Mikage: Would you like to know?

Kamisama Hajimemashita Original Drama CD "Kami to Shinshi no Chigiri" 神と神使の契約 (The Fate between a God and a Familiar) scheduled to be released on year 2012, October 24th.
