Sentosa |
"Eh...? Eh...?" |
Sentosa |
"What did you just say? Did Yours Truly misheard you...? Ohoho♪" |
Khajuraho |
"Like I said, hug and kiss each other~, quickly~" |
Khajuraho |
"You'll make the people who are watching lose interest~ Strike while the iron is hot; Lewd while the brain is on dopamine--" |
Sentosa |
"Wh-wh-wha-what are you talking about!?" |
After hearing Khajuraho spouting ridiculous stuff, Sentosa roared and backed away from her from shock. |
Sentosa |
"Garwgh~! Wh-wha-wha-what do you mean kiss? Why? Nonsense, what are you on about!?" |
Jeran |
"Ahaha! Sentosa, you're always bragging about how well you can study - But you don't know what a kiss is?" |
Sentosa |
"I-I-I-I'm upset exactly because I know what it is!" |
Sentosa |
"I don't see the point of such disgracefulness in this situation! And with Miss Jeran of all people--" |
Jeran |
"? Sentosa, don't you want to kiss Jeran...?" |
Sentosa |
"Of-of course not! Yo-you and Yours Truly and not in that kind of a relationship!" |
Jeran |
"Oh~... What a pity~... Have been separated from Sentosa for a long time, and only recently have we been able to meet again--" |
Jeran |
"In the past, we had to part on bad terms. Thought we were now just normal friends who loved each other." |
Sentosa |
"Ugh, uugh!?" |
Jeran |
"But, was Jeran wrong about that? After all, Jeran and Sentosa are a tiger and a lion, so we can't be friends...?" |
Sentosa |
"W-wr-wrong! That's not what Yours Truly meant woi!? A-and don't look so sad lah, Jeran!" |
Sentosa |
"Y-Yours Truly does care about you! We did hurt each other once upon a time, and hopefully this time we can be friends who care for each other...!" |
Jeran |
"Gaarrgh♪ So glad, thought Sentosa didn't like Jeran anymore! Because Sentosa is always lecturing, yeah?" |
Sentosa |
"Th-that's because you always have these nonsensical actions! I'm trying to teach a problem child like you properly--" |
Sentosa |
"A-as your friend, you should be guided in the right direction...!" |
Jeran |
"Friend? Eheeh, so Sentosa also considers Jeran a friend dah~?" |
Jeran |
"Then that's very good dah~ Jeran is too dumb to say it properly, but this is really, really good dah~♪" |
Sentosa |
"Jeran.... Apologies, my dear, Yours Truly is so kiasu - Always hiding my embarrassment in vain, can't even convey important things properly." |
Jeran |
"No, It's okay dah~ Surely you've got the message." |
Jeran |
"Really love Sentosa for always being so strong like that." |
Jeran |
"Really love the stubborn lion who acts proud, even when she's covered in scars so that no one can prey on her." |
Sentosa |
"Jeran..." |
Sentosa |
"Yours Truly too, Yours Truly is unlike you, you act noble and free, even when you're all alone -" |
Jeran |
"Garrrgh! Then let's kiss♪ It doesn't matter if we LOVE EACH OTHER DAH~!" |
Sentosa |
"GYAAAAAAH!?" |
Jeran pounced on Sentosa like a wild beast. Caught off guard, Sentosa is pushed down without a second thought, and she flinched and struggled as hard as she could. |
Sentosa |
"Gyaaa~! Gyaaaah!? Wha-wha-What are you doing, Jeran!?" |
Jeran |
"? Like she said, we're going to kiss dah~ Khajuraho said so!" |
Sentosa |
"J-just ignore what that siao lang says! We don't have to listen to her!" |
Sentosa |
"And also what she said is all nonsense! K-Kissing in public..!? This is a lifelong shame, a disgrace, you'll regret it for sure!?" |
Sentosa |
"Hey! Is Yours Truly wrong for saying that!?" |
Khajuraho |
"Yes yes~ Stop stalling and start kissing kay~? Some people are satisfied with just that, and they call it love, yet for others it's basically just foreplay!" |
Sentosa |
"AR-ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE US DO MORE THAN THAAAT--!?" |
Jeran |
"? What's more than that? Can you explain? Hard for Jeran now, but can still learn dah~♪" |
Sentosa |
"D-don't make Yours Truly explain it to you! STOOP-! HELP ME, DADDY, MOMMY, I'M BEING PLAYED WITH BY VILE BEASTS, HEEELP!" |
Khajuraho |
"Wrong, wrong! Now is the time to teach the inhabitants of this town about the wonders of love, don't be disgusted, accept it properly! Rejoice!" |
Sentosa |
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU ON ABOUT!? YOU'RE INSANEEEE!" |
Asahikawa |
"--Papa, something's not right." |
Asahikawa blurted out inexplicably while watching the rowdiness from afar. |
Asahikawa |
"This is way too unusual regardless." |
Conductor |
You're right, Khajuraho does regularly act vulgar most of the time, but she never does anything that could really hurt others. She's a professional preacher and tamer, she won't force someone to do something if they don't want to. |
Conductor |
When Khajuraho first joined the SSS, due of differences in values and other factors, she sometimes repeatedly did things that hurt others. But after a number of unfortunate accidents, she had genuinely repented and reflected on her actions. |
Asahikawa |
"That's part is strange, yes. However that tiger girl and the lion girl are also strange." |
Jeran |
"GRRRAAH! GRRRAAH! GRRRAAH!" |
Sentosa |
"Gaurgh~! Gaurgh~! Stop, don't eat me, don't eat me! Don't eat Yours Truly~! I'm scareeeed!" |
Asahikawa |
"...The lion's condition is still okay, but the tiger's eyes appear insane. It's either their instincts are unleashed, or they're behaving like real beasts--" |
Asahikawa |
"It may be possible she's just so excited that she lost her sense of self..." |
Conductor |
Indeed, it's strange. Jeran tends to behave like a savage, but she's a kind and gentle girl who loves her friends. There is no way that she would still treat Sentosa so badly after her own friend's crying and asking to stop. |
Asahikawa |
"Yeah. Maybe someone's will is intervening in their current actions." |
Conductor |
What do you mean by 'someone'? |
Asahikawa |
"Someone that I don't know." |
Asahikawa |
"I, too, have the ability to subdue animals. I used that ability to rule over my hometown - Doubutsuen." |
Conductor |
I've heard about that. Asahikawa, do you have the mystical ability to control animals, similar to that of the demon-controller Fussen? |
Asahikawa |
"Yeah. If those girls have lost their reason now, I might be able to manipulate them with that ability." |
Asahikawa |
"Nah. Maybe we can just stop the intervener and bring them back to their senses." |
Asahikawa moved away from me regretfully and held up her gun gallantly. Then she ranted out, sounding annoyed as usual. |
Asahikawa |
"Listen, you stupid, dumb beasts." |
Asahikawa |
"Obey me, the greatest and most kawaii girl in the world." |
Asahikawa fired her gun immediately after her cold announcement. The sound of gunshots and her voice echoed around the world - and immediately the ground of Sheep City began to tremble. |
Asahikawa |
"What? Earthquake...?" |
??? |
'GETOUT GETOUT GETOUT!' |
Conductor |
An eerie voice that sounds both male and female, flood in from the depths of the now shaking earth. It's an ear-grating voice, like a group of emotionally disturbed people speaking bitterly in unison. |
??? |
'Why, are you interrupting me? Why, can't you understand? Why, why, why?' |
Asahikawa |
".........?" |
??? |
'You know what's really going on, don't you?' |
??? |
'Men with men! Women with women! That's the only true path to love...!' |
Asahikawa |
"........." |
Alongside the unintelligible cry, something rose up from below ground. |
