Driven by the delusions of wanting to defeat thieves with treasure in their hands, the shogun's spirit tried to force the treasure on us. |
Against such a troublesome opponent, Karasuma's group moved cautiously onwards, making sure never to touch any treasure. |
But here came the biggest challenge of all. |
Karasuma |
"CAAW-! Whaat is this, a space chock full of glitter!?" |
Karasuma |
"These is all jewels. Sparkles here, sparkles there, aaaah, this place is like a dream!" |
Kumamoto |
"Don't go in there, Karasuma-san, Kuma will never let go of your hand." |
Karasuma |
"Just a little bit! Let me touch it, just a little bit! Please! Please please!!" |
Miyako |
"He's waiting for Karasuma to touch the jewels, the shogun's in the back. Kumamoto-san, please keep Karasuma's eyes obscured." |
Karasuma |
"Gah, you two, am I really so untrustworthy!?" |
Miyako & Kumamoto |
"Of course (you are)." |
Karasuma |
"THAT'S MEAN!" |
Miyako |
"Tell me your jokes only after you've learnt not to be lured by sparkles." |
Kumamoto |
"No matter how hard we tried, it was impossible to avoid glitter in a cave full of treasures." |
Kumamoto |
"Miyako-san, understand that it's a little late for this, but isn't it wrong to defeat that shogun's spirit? Heard that he used to be a dangerous being who used to attack humans, right?" |
Miyako |
"If there are people who have been attacked now, then we should deal with it, but we don't have any proof that it was really like that in the past." |
Miyako |
"It's not that I don't trust big crow-san, but I don't think it's a good practice to eliminate villains at random." |
Conductor |
Miyako is right. That shogun's spirit certainly feels like a villain. |
Conductor |
But if we were to eliminate him on the basis or presumption of evil, we would become the villain at that moment instead. Unless we have proof that he is evil, we should refrain from touching him. |
Conductor |
Besides, this cave was probably the shogun's residence. So, from his point of view, we are already trespassing. At this stage, there is no justice on our side. |
Karasuma |
"Wait, nyeh wait, wait. So if we get the Shining Marbles, does that mean we're thieves?" |
Miyako |
"If it belonged to the shogun, that would be the case." |
Karasuma |
"Eeeh? We've come this far, no waaaay~!" |
Karasuma |
"...Meh, nut it's wrong to be a thief, I guess it can't be helped. But because the karasu's marbles don't belong to the shogun that shouldn't matter!" |
Karasuma |
"Hey, then could it be that karasu-san's marbles belong to the General already too, nyeh? If he'd had it for a long time, he has the right to own it ~ something like that. I don't know how difficult this is..." |
Miyako |
"........." |
Miyako |
"Hey, Shogun-san. So all the treasures in this cave belong to you, then?" |
Maizoukin Shogun |
"Hmph, of course they are. I won't give it to anyone!" |
Miyako |
"Then are the marbles in this cave also treasures?" |
Maizoukin Shogun |
"What, marbles? I have not fallen so low as to proclaim marbles as treasures. I don't remember storing them!" |
Miyako |
"I see, thank you very much." |
Miyako |
"...Ah, you have no further use to us anymore, so you can go away." |
Maizoukin Shogun |
"This is MY cave! Tch... What a heartless maiden you are to ignore me already." |
Miyako |
"It seems you can have the marbles after all, Karasuma." |
Kumamoto |
"Good for you, Karasuma-san. Now you can have the Shining Marbles once you find them." |
Kumamoto |
"Karasuma-san?" |
Karasuma |
"Thank goodness... I see, I can get the karasu's marbles back. Thank you Miyako! As expected of the girl I expected!" |
Miyako |
"Don't be too happy yet, Karasuma. We still have the problem of how to find the marbles in this cave." |
Karasuma |
"We'll have to search for them in a vacuum. Leave it to me, my karasu instincts are often right." |
Karasuma |
"According to that... hmm..." |
Karasuma |
"I see it! Karasu's marbles are in this room!" |
Miyako |
"Well, if they're mixed in, they're probably somewhere in this room with lots of sparkles." |
Miyako |
"But how are we going to find them? If we touch the jewels, that shogun's spirit will attack us, right?" |
Kumamoto |
"That's right, we shouldn't grab the jewels...!" |
Miyako |
"And what's more, the moment Kumamoto-san's restraints are released, Karasuma is going to run straight into glitter, right?" |
Karasuma |
"Hmph, leave it to me about that. I've got a plan for this." |
