Panel 5
あなたがお父様ですか

Panel 5
あなたはそんな伝説を信じてるんですか？清めの水とやらをまかないとたたりがあるとでも？
You believe that legend? That there will be a curse if you don't sprinkle something like holy water on it?

いやまさか
Well I never!

Panel 6
わたしは現実主義者だからそんなことは信じないが。しかし古くからの習わしですからな父が生きていた時分にはわたしが今はラシャーヌが土地の所有者となって清めの水をまいているのです。今さら習慣を変える必要もないし
Since I'm a realist I don't believe in such things. But, my father made me continue the ancient practice when he was alive and now Rashanu is the owner of the land and sprinkles the holy water on it. We don't need to change the custom after all this time.

If you capture his heart you can tell him your mother is sick and your father's company is likely to go bankrupt and propose to borrow the money.

するとどうなります
And then what?

Panel 5
惚れた相手のことだ。なんとかしようと思うが金額が大きいからポケットマネー程度ではどうしようもない。聖地を売らざるをえないだろーが
He will be bewitched. Pocket money won't cover that amount so he'll think of what he can do to get it. He'll have no choice but to sell the sacred land.

なーるほど
I see.

It seems Rashanu beleieves the story his father told that there's a curse if he doesn't fuss over the sacred land and sprinkle holy water on it.
