=Y-You're going to blow up the well and fill it with cyanide...!?
=If the well goes bad then the bandits will leave the town...!?

=You've got to be kidding me!
=Are you crazy!?


<100>
=If you destroy the well!!
=I'm not gonna do it with you!!


<101>
=Whaaa—t!? No way—!!
=I told you! This is so we can live like human beings!

=Even if the bandits go away, it's pointless if the well gets destroyed! You won't get your money either!
=I never promised to do it with you in writing, so I can break that deal if I want.//So there!
RRR...

=Do it?
RABBLE RABBLE
WHISPER WHISPER
RABBLE
=Do what? What are they gonna do?

=M-M-Mariko... What are you...?
=What is all this talk about doing something?

=Well you see Mayor, the night he got here, he *mumble mumble...*


<102>
=WHAAA—T!?
=Doing it means letting him do that thing—!?

=UCK!!

=M-Mayor—!
WAH—
=The Mayor keeled over—!
=Ahh—! Father!
=Hmph.

=Yo. What's it gonna be, Desert Punk? Looks like you can't blow up the well anymore.
=URRR

='Cause you can't give up on Mariko.
=URRRRR


<103>
=Alright, fine. I'll lay out my conditions.
=Conditions?

=You're not gonna go away if I threaten to blow up the well, right?
=Of course not.
=Okay, then...

=How about I threaten to blow up the well unless you fight me one more time for control of the town?
=That nitro I planted on the well is shit quality stuff I found in the village, so it's gonna be a bitch to dismantle, but still.

=Hah.

=Yeah, we're cool with that, but...
=You sure about this? You were the one running for your life last time.
=Uck...

=Alright, it's a deal.


<104>
BLAM
WHIRRRR

=WEE-HEE—!

=Just to be sure,
=I don't know whether he's serious or just bluffing, but you better not touch that cyanide bomb.//We'll get rid of it for you after we kill that guy.


<105>
WHIRR
GWHOOOSH
=*cough*//*cough*

=Wh-What did he mean by serious or bluffing...?//So the cyanide bomb could be a total fake?

=Now it's finally over for that stupid fucking annoying brat.
*gunfire*
=*sigh—* but now this village is gonna belong to those bandits, huh... Damn it.

=But still... You don't get your name out there just by being stupid.
=We might be screwed no matter which one of them wins.

=M-Maybe if they beat each other up, we might be able to go in and finish 'em off.
=Oh...//Ohh—//Yeah, we might have a chance!
=Maybe we should gather all the youngsters and go after them!


<111>
=Don't go.
=Huh!?

=He was busy laying a trap over there.
=You'll get hurt if you go wandering in.
=Whaat!?

=That guy acts like he's insane... But he's still luring the enemy to his advantage like he was originally planning to.

I swear on my reputation as the baddest motherfucker in Kanto,
MU-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH
ICK—
I always get the job done. No matter what.

=What do you think!?
=This is bad!

=Looks like we got lured into a trap! What are we gonna do!?
=He might be planning something!


<113>
=Don't worry about it! Even if he is, he won't be able to pull the trigger as long as we stay right on him!//He's doesn't wanna get caught in the trap either!
