Karamachi's group finally caught up with the giant rat on the rooftops, which had outfoxed them many times with its inherent intelligence. |
However, despite how hard they chased it down, the giant rat showed no signs of giving up and put up even more of a desperate fight. |
Yoshino |
"Hang in there, everyone. Yoshino thinks Rat-san will get tired soon, and that's when we'll have the chance to capture it." |
Yakutsk |
"Even so, it is still moving quickly. I don't think we'll get anywhere if we keep going like this." |
Yoshino |
"But if we kill it, we won't know where the merchandise it has stolen are. We'll capture, mark and release it. Then, we will be able to find out where they are." |
Yakutsk |
"Sure, but it's moving around so much, if we fight any more it'll tear the compound to shreds." |
Yoshino |
"No matter how much the house is damaged, Yoshino will be responsible for fixing it." |
Yoshino |
"So just a little bit more, just a little bit more. Karamachi always goes through a lot of trouble to stock up on merchandise..." |
Yakutsk |
"Yoshino..." |
Yoshino |
"When Yoshino is in need of parts for a machine, Karamachi will wander off and stock up, saying she found it by chance or something." |
Yoshino |
"There are a lot of parts that are no longer on the market. And yet, Karamachi finds them for me. Yoshino's sure she goes to a lot of trouble." |
Yoshino |
"Karamachi's products are the fruit of her efforts and hard work. Yoshino doesn't want her to give up." |
Karamachi |
"......" |
Yoshino |
"Karamachi, don't give up." |
Karamachi |
"Even if you say so, Yakutsk-han is right, we won't get anywhere if we keep on like this." |
Yoshino |
"We'll get them. All the merchandise will be returned. Yoshino will not give up hope." |
Karamachi |
"It's okay, Yoshino-han. I'll just have to restock the merchandise again." |
Karamachi |
"It's true, some of the stuff are no longer procurable, but that doesn't mean I have to close shop. I just have to make a fresh start and do my best again." |
Karamachi |
"But I can't give up on this house full of traps that we've built together. I'm very attached to each and every trap. I don't want them destroyed so easily." |
Yoshino |
"Karamachi..." |
Karamachi |
"Yoshino-han, everyone, thank you very much. This house itself is already a treasure to me." |
Karamachi |
"That's why that rat is no longer of any use TO US!" |
Karamachi pressed a switch on her hand, the roof opened up and out came a cannon. |
Yakutsk |
"What's that thing coming out of there!?" |
Karamachi |
"It doesn't fire cannonballs. This is an 'air cannon' that shoots out compressed air and can blow rats far away!" |
Yoshino |
"...Got it. Yoshino will support Karamachi's decision." |
Yoshino |
"Yakky-tan, let's pin it down so it doesn't run out of range." |
Yakutsk |
"Leave it to me! Now is the time for me to show you my brilliant whip-wielding skills!" |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEE!?" |
The rat may not have known what a cannon looked like, but it definitely knew that something bad was going to happen to itself. But even if it wanted to get out of the line of fire, Yoshino and Yakutsk would not allow it. |
Karamachi |
"Prepare yourself, you thievin' rat. With this - IT'S OVER!" |
*BOOM* |
Great Thief Rat Kid |
"SQUEESQUEEE-!?" |
Karamachi's air cannon shot out with a boom, and blew the giant rat instantly away. |
Yoshino |
"Ooooh- it flew clean away." |
Yakutsk |
"We've won this time." |
Karamachi |
"Yaaaah, it's all over now. Thank you all for your help this time." |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino will help you with the next restock. Don't hesitate to ask." |
Karamachi |
"Also, Yoshino-han, don't worry about me like that. I'll stock as many products as I can from now on, so there's really no need to worry. |
Karamachi then stood on the edge of the roof and laughed, her hair fluttering in the wind. |
Karamachi |
"I've made many mistakes in my life. I've made mistakes in my work, and I've betrayed the people who cared for me. And yet, everyone has always given me a helpin' hand." |
Karamachi |
"That's why I didn't want to make any more mistakes. What is the most important thing to me? What should I protect?" |
Karamachi |
"I am very happy because we have protected what is most important to us this time, you know? Look, don't I have a nice smile on my face?" |
Yoshino |
"Yes. Karamachi, good smile." |
Yakutsk |
"Then it's a great victory." |
Karamachi |
"That's what I mean. Well, let's all go downstairs. Let's have a small victory party." |
Karamachi, Yoshino and Yakutsk returned to the house, laughing as they each recount how hard they have worked this time. |
Karamachi's most precious things shine through in such banter. |
