Himeko: !!! // (It broke...!!)
Kouhai: What...? Your stick broke...?
Himeko: (Oh, crap...!! // I guess using it like this for as long as I have... // ...must've weakened it more than I realised...)
Senpai: Hmm? Don't tell me this is... our big chance?

6
Himeko: !! // Ngh...
Chiaki: Onizuka-san!
Senpai: Shut your mouth, bitch.
Himeko: The hell's with this guy...? // He's just so... strong!!

Himeko: Y... // You...

8
Himeko: Fujisaki... // (Ahh!)
Bossun: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Himeko: (That hat...)
Flashback!Bossun: Like, you know, a feeling of power flooding through my body? // Like, I dunno, I could go around saving people and stuff!
Senpai: Who's this? // Your buddy?

9
Bossun: YOU LIED TO ME, DIDN'T YOU~~!!!
Himeko: !!
Bossun: Dammit, don't DO that! Don't go lying to people like that! / I was really worried about you, you dummy!!
Himeko: How... how did you know where we were?
Bossun: Dummy~! // Dummy, dummy~! // Dummy, dummy, DUMMY~!!
Himeko: Oh, quit that already!!

10
Bossun: When I went to the place with the statue like you told me, and nobody was there... / ...I knew right away that you'd lied to me about the place.
Flashback!Bossun: Damn that girl... she tricked me!! // Where's the real meeting place, dammitall?!!! // Shit...!! // (Think... // There's got to be some kind of hint!)
DoubleFlashback!Chiaki: ...And, well... It was really dark, so I couldn't see what I was doing... // And I accidentally threw it into this car...
DoubleFlashback!Himeko: By the "statue", huh?
Flashback!Bossun: ("Statue"... // A different statue, then...?)

11
DoubleFlashback!Chiaki: I couldn't see what I was doing... // And I accidentally threw it into this car...
Flashback!Bossun: (She threw a ball... // Where does Takahashi-san throw balls about on her way home...? The park, right? // Dark... Come to think of it, there's that one park right near the school... where one of the lights is dead... // That's right... "Elephant Park". // "Elephant"... "Zou"... // Of course - "zou" didn't mean "statue" at all...!!)
[TN: Dammit... I even checked to make sure there WAS a statue in that park before committing to the "statue" translation last chapter ~_~ Well, not that I could exactly have done any better either way...]
Bossun: So I came here, quick as I could, and, well... you know the rest.
Himeko: (What's with this guy...? He's a genius...!!) // But why?! Why the hell did you come?!!
Bossun: I told you, didn't I? / That I'd save her.
Himeko: But......!

12
Himeko: Why would you go so far to do a thing like that...?! / It's not even got anythin' to do with you!!
Bossun: Same goes for you, doesn't it?
Himeko: Ahh...
Bossun: You don't need a reason to want to help out a friend in trouble! // I said I'd do it, so I will!
Flashback!Bossun: (NEVER, all right?!!)
Bossun: I... // ...would never betray a friend.

13
Bossun: So who the hell cares if somebody betrayed you once, huh?!!! // I'm not like that!!!
Senpai: Whoa, whoa!! What're you punks babblin' about?!! // Don't you go thinkin' you're home safe just 'cause some guy's showed up!!
Bossun: Tch... / You assholes were still here...? // I'd forgotten all about you.

14
Bossun: Stand back, you two - I'll handle this.
Himeko: Fujisaki...
Bossun: You wait 'til you get a taste of my Knuckle Punch!☆
Himeko: ...You're shakin' like a leaf!! // SO lame!! What're you tryin' to do with that pose, make 'em LAUGH themselves to death?!! // I knew you wouldn't be any use in a fight. / That's why I didn't tell you where we'd be...! / So come on, just step back, okay?! // Now that I can move about again, I can take 'em. // Ohh, and look what's lyin' around all handy-like! / I don't need my stick to take out a bunch of lowlifes like these. // (.........If they find out I'm the Onihime... // ...it'll mean losing these friends, an' all...)

15
Himeko: So thanks for the help, Fujisaki. // Now then, where were we? / I ain't gonna hold back against pieces of trash like you.

16-17
Bossun: Y - You're seriously tough, huh......
Senpai: I... I know you... // This chick... // Aaghh! // I knew it!! // Th... The Onihime!!!
Bossun: ONIHIME?!
Chiaki: Wha...?! Onihime... the Onihime...?!
Kouhai: Ahh...!! Now that you mention it...!!

18
Delinquents: W... // W - W - W - W...... // WE'RE SO SORRY!!!
Senpai: It wasn't really the ball that dented the car at all, I just kicked it...!! // I - I'm sorry I lied! / I won't do it again!! // Y - You've changed a little, so we didn't recognise you to begin with... // But we've already been beaten black and blue by you once before!!
Kouhai: W - We should run...
Senpai: E - Excuse us~~~~~!!

19
Chiaki: "Onihime"... I've heard that name before. / A legendary delinquent... // But Onizuka-san... you...
Bossun: I always thought it was just an urban legend... // ...But, I see. / A crazy powerful, golden-haired girl, wielding an unusual stick... // So you're... // ...the Onihime...
Himeko: That's right. // I'm the... // ...Onihime.
