*RESERVED ONLY FOR KONO-BASHO*
Chapter 52: There is always some madness in love
Apologies*A small notice to pay attention to. In this chapter there are several instances, which Yukie has described ‘putting the Akuro’s heart into deep sleep’. It sounds very weird to put a piece of rock to sleep. So I changed the portion of ‘putting the heart into a deep slumber’ to ‘seal the heart’. That way, it will make logical sense.*

Military personnel:
Hey
Boy! (Actually the noises made aren’t as what I translated but they are still noises implying them to call Taisuke over)
//
Taisuke’s narration:
Let me make it clear from the beginning …
-----------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
It’s so HUGE!
//
Taisuke:
It’s cheap!
//
Taisuke:
It’s big!
//
Taisuke:
Let’s compare these with a real person!
Ray:
Oh!
Taisuke:
Cheese! Ray nii-chan!
//
Taisuke’s narration:
We are definitely not here for a vacation.
Background (Taisuke):
Hah …
Nami:
I should probably get a swimsuit …
--------------------------------------------------------------
The gang:
The Ocean!
//
Ray:
We are indeed playing here …
//
Background (Ray):
I can’t believe them …
//
---------------------------------------------------------
Ray’s narration:
The military’s main search base …
//
Ray’s narration:
They say that they're here to recover lost articles but...
That's a deep ocean search equipment and sonar... They must be searching for the 'heart'.
They've already created a platform...
//
//
Ray’s narration:
What they had already determined its location?
----------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
Damn it …
Hey, Taisuke!
//
Ray:
You better be scouting!
//
//
Taisuke:
…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
I am! Even though it might not look like it...
//
Taisuke:
…
//
Taisuke:
Nami, wait up!
//
Ray:
…
… Forget about it.
Background (Taisuke):
Argh! Argh!
No really! I didn’t mean it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray’s narration:
Play while you can...
Background (Yuta):
Ho ho ho
//
//
//
Yukie:
The 'heart's' wish...
Former comrades...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke’s thoughts:
Lately, Yukie mom has always been behaving like this.
//
Taisuke’s thoughts:
The reason might be that the ‘heart’ is just close by.
//
Taisuke’s thoughts:
It is just over on the other side of the ocean,
Lurking within the ocean’s bottom,
Hirose is still there.
//
Ray:
Listen up …
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
Here is where the ‘heart’ is located.
This is where we are now.
The next is the Navy’s base …
Background (map):
Present Location
//
Ray:
This time too, we’ll split into 2 teams and use a distraction plan.
Yuta:
Again?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yuta:
Ray … Didn’t this plan failed the last time?
This wouldn’t work!
//
Ray:
...No
We will proceed with it …
//
Ray:
The military wouldn’t be launching any operations at night, and the security will be more relaxed.
//
Ray:
Jun, you, Nami and Yuta will …
//
Ray:
… dismantled the communication facilities here.
You will destroy the entire navy and air forces’ radar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
After completion of the task, retreat immediately.
You got it?
//
Jun:
Yes …
//
Ray:
I will set out to sea together with Taisuke in the meantime.
Taisuke:
Are we retrieving that thing? But …
//
Nami:
You’re planning on pulling it up? That thing...!?
//
Ray:
Its okay, I have a plan.
Taisuke:
But how do we do it …?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
I will extract the ‘heart’ out.
//
Taisuke:
Yukie- san!
Aoi:
Mom!
//
Yukie:
I’m sorry if I get in your way.
But …
//
Yukie:
The sound is getting more intensive … He is about to be awakened …
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
To be honest, I’m getting frantic.
//
Yukie:
But don’t worry.
Yuta:
Huh …
//
Yukie:
I have a piece of the ‘heart’ inside my body.
And …
//
Yukie:
We have Taisuke here …
//
Yukie:
… Let us give this a shot …
--------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
…
… We got it.
//
Aoi:
What about me?
Ray:
Aoi will remain …
Aoi:
I don’t want to!
//
Ray:
Then will you obey every of my words?
Aoi:
I will, I will!
//
Ray:
Then you will stay.
Aoi:
Hah! That is too much!
//
Ray:
Alright then, Aoi will follow Jun’s team since she can run fast.
Aoi:
Yeah!
//
Aoi:
This is great … I don’t have to stay back!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
Okay, we will proceed as planned.
//
//
Ray:
We’ll proceed on the night of the next new moon.
//
Ray:
That is all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuta:
There is something weird with Ray …
The battle plan has lapses …
Just looking at it, we can tell that there is a shortage of manpower for the retrieval team.
//
Yuta:
And Taisuke doesn’t speak much about it.
//
Yuta:
What on earth is he thinking about …
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oda:
Amamiya- san, you’re amazing!
Background (Oda):
This picture looks good …
The next is even better …
//
Oda:
The website’s traffic counter is still increasing!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amamiya:
Oda- san! You there?
Are you still staring at Nami’s photo album all the while? Are you loafing around?
//
Oda:
You’re pretty rude. I am sparing sometime to search for your stuff despite my busy schedule.
I am going through Rain’s blog.
Background (Oda):
I am really busy!
//
Oda:
Though 90% is just after Nami! But,
There are some people who actually read the reports of mass suicide riot.
//
Amamiya:
There are people that have provide me with questions and lead on the incident...
There are some like that...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Amamiya:
If the data has been tidied and sorted out …
//
Amamiya:
I will be grateful!
//
Amimiya:
This is all possible thanks to Anzu!
//
Background (Anzu):
Clack clack (keys typing)
//
Amamiya:
Though I would have preferred to go to the site...
With Kanou-kun and the others...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oda:
You just want to head south for a vacation!
I wanted to use my annual leaves as well!
But I’ve no spare cash …
Amamiya:
You’re so honest!
//
Amamiya:
What wonder what is everyone doing now …
//
//
Anzu:
It would be probably tonight …
Amamiya:
Eh?
//
Anzu:
That everyone … including mom …
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
It is about time we move out.
//
//
//
//
Taisuke:
Yukie- san …
Don’t you have something you need to say?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
//
Yukie:
… Take a seat.
//
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
Like I had mentioned before,
My goal is to seal ‘Akuro’s heart’
//
Yukie:
I have always waited for this chance …
The fact is that I am still anxious about getting it …
//
Yukie:
Before Hirose’s awakening, before the military get their hands on it …
I have to be quick …! I have to be faster …!
//
Yukie:
However, that is not what I fear the most.
//
Yukie:
If that person...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
If the ‘The Ghost’ appears there … Everything would be over …
//
Yukie:
We can’t win against “The Ghost”...!
//
Yukie:
There is only one way …
To get the ‘heart’ before ‘The Ghost’ does and seal it...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
For the completion of this task …
//
Yukie:
Taisuke,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
I want you to become the vessel to contain the ‘heart’.
//
Yukie:
You too, like Hirose, have the same qualities to become the vessel .
I am willing to gamble the rest of my life to put to you to sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
You will continue to sleep for eternity with the ‘heart’...
In this way, the ‘heart’ would lose its meaning of existence.
//
Yukie:
...Your life would be bound...
//
//
Nami’s thoughts:
Put to sleep for eternity...!?
//
Nami’s thoughts:
Was this Yukei-san’s intention all along, and Kanou was...!?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
//
//
Yukie’s thoughts:
This is the only way now …!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
You needn’t worry.
//
Taisuke:
Even if I got the ‘heart’,
I wouldn’t run amok!
//
Taisuke:
You don’t have to pay it with your life either!
That’s a waste! And a beauty too
//
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yukie:
Ha Ha …
//
Yukie:
You are really …
Really …
Taisuke:
What?
//
Yukie:
... That’s right... My plan might not work. And Hirose might be revived first.
//
Taisuke:
There’s no need to worry about that either.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
It’s because I will not lose to Hirose!
//
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke:
Then …
I’ll see you later.
//
//
Yukie:
I’m sorry …
//
Yukie:
I’m so sorry, Taisuke …
//
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
… Is everyone ready?
Aoi:
Yes …!
//
Yukie:
Jun … I will leave them all to you …
//
Yukie:
… Don’t let Aoi and the rest know of our plan …
//
Yukie:
Aoi.
Background (Aoi):
Yes …!
Background (Yuta):
That’s dangerous!
//
Yukie:
Do your best …
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aoi:
Heh?
What are you doing?
Background (Yukie):
Shy?
//
Taisuke:
Yuta, you guys have to be careful.
Yuta:
You too!
//
Nami:
Kanou …
Yuta:
If anything goes wrong, I will use my ability and protect everyone.
Taisuke:
You sounded so reliable.
Ray:
Time to move out.
//
Nami:
…
//
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
Nami:
…
//
//
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuta:
Nami nee- chan!
//
//
Nami:
I’m sorry, you guys go first!
//
Nami’s thoughts:
Kanou …!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
Ray:
Jun and the rest should have reached their destination.
Background (jetty planks):
Creak creak …
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray:
…
We should get going …
//
Taisuke:
… Okay!
//
Ray:
… Let’s go!
//
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michele:
Taisuke!
//
Taisuke:

//
Michele:
I finally found you!
Background (Michele):
Rustle!
Rustle!
Michele:
Why did you keep running everywhere! Oi …!
//
Ray:
Who’s that …?
//
Taisuke:
That voice …
---------------------------------------------------------
Taisuke’s thoughts:
Why …?
//
Taisuke’s thoughts:
Michael?
