Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Tch, I was finally going to pop back into reality and take over the Iwato..." |
Having its ambitions thwarted by Maki's team, Sounankai muttered in frustration. |
But for these kinds of youkai, they basically never surrender. So we can't let our guard down yet. |
Maki's team are aware of this, and they have not disengaged their combat stance. |
Shimoamazu |
"I see. Now I understand why oka-sama allowed us to deal with you. You are weak." |
Maki |
"Shi-chan is right. You are not a threat to Maki and the others. Will hear you out. We'll let you go if you promise to concede and close this otherworld realm." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"You sure underestimated this Sounankai. It's not like I've survived this otherworld realm where I was in distress for a long time." |
Yoshino |
"Did you perhaps get that Sounan name because you were in distress for so long?" |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"That's right. It's the best name I could come up with as a result of surviving and outwitting the other occasional youkai who were sent to the otherworld." |
Yoshino |
"Noted, Yoshino is satisfied." |
Shimoamazu |
"I don't really care about how the enemy got their name." |
Yoshino |
"Well, curiosity couldn't be resisted." |
Maki |
"Now Sounankai, decide which way you want to go. Close this otherworld realm, or be defeated." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"I'm sorry, but I refuse to do either. I will teach you how this Sounankai has survived to this day. It is a matter of learning to be honest." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Ah, the many attacks I was hit with earlier, they hurt like hell. But by remembering the pain and writing it down in this 'Sounankai Study Book', I will absorb new lessons and use them next time." |
Saying this, Sounankai took out a notebook from its pocket and began to write vigorously. |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Sounankai, I don't think so... This pain was consumed because I avoided it like this? Oops, this wound over here could have killed me if I had taken one more step forward. Yosh, I've learnt!" |
Maki |
"Suspicious. This is not an attack that can be seen through after a few attacks, Maki's power is not that simplistic." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Oops, I've learnt that already. This way, I can minimise further damage." |
Maki |
"What the. You were able to withstand the attack." |
Shimoamazu |
"You can stop an attack from the kijin Maki. You really are learning." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Now, feel free to attack me from anywhere. I've learnt when I was attacked... Oops, you're not approaching me? Good, have a strategy meeting or whatever you want!" |
Maki |
"Frustrated. Maki will definitely take it down." |
Yoshino |
"Maki, calm down. Sei sei sei. Stoppu stoppu. Don't charge in alone." |
Yoshino |
"It's dangerous to attack Sounankai carelessly. If you are not careful, it will learn new attacks. If this continues, Yoshino and friend's hands will become increasingly harder." |
Shimoamazu |
"Yoshino is right. If we continue to fight with all our might, we will run out of power." |
Shimoamazu |
"We're in trouble. If we don't give it a decisive blow, we may be gradually pushed back. Let's think about retreating at this point." |
Maki |
"Wait, Shi-chan. It's okay. Maki can still fight. I'll defeat that mook. I'm fine physically." |
Shimoamazu |
"Even if its strength isn't strong, it's still dangerous if our strength weakens you know? And if that happens, there is no prospect of giving it a decisive blow." |
Maki |
"Maki ran for the position myself. Then Shsihou gave me permission. So will definitely live up to her expectations. I will make sure the tour is organised properly." |
Maki |
"And there was a lot of insults. Shishou's pranks. Shishou herself. Maki doesn't want to run away." |
Shimoamazu |
"Maki..." |
Maki |
"Shi-chan, please." |
Shimoamazu |
"........." |
Shimoamazu |
"Alright. One more time, let's fight again with all our might, more than before." |
Maki |
"Thanks, Shi-chan!" |
Shimoamazu |
"You don't have to thank me. Even as Shimoamazu the Second, I have to achieve at least this much to not shame my face of the First." |
Shimoamazu |
"If push comes to shove, I can use that.." |
Yoshino |
"Shimoamazu, you don't mean..." |
Shimoamazu |
"It's nothing. More importantly, Yoshino, I'm sorry, but you should follow up Maki." |
Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Have you finished discussions? Now, come at me from wherever you want! I will learn any attack." |
Maki |
"I won't let you. Next time Maki will take you down." |
Maki and Sounankai exchange glances at each other, poised. |
Maki then charged once again for her beloved master. |
