Chapter 218: Wilfulness

[side text: In this way, they can return to Karsumori. Return to life as it used to be.]

(p2)
[side text: Yashiro's suicide, and knowing that the mastermind is another person brings the curtain down for now .Yoshimori kept his word and protected Tokine!!]


(Sen: Ouch!)
Yoshi: Tokine!
Tokine: Hm?
Yoshi: Are you sure you're okay?
You seem so squidgy...
Tokine: What do you mean by squidgy?!



Yoshi: Look! Even your feet are bare! Here, wear my shoes.
Tokine: No way! I don't want to wear the shoes that you wear barefooted!

Miki: Tokine-chan.//
You’ve made such a mess yourself./ It must have been tough being alone,// so please, take this pair...

(p3)
Miki: Don’t worry. I will carry Kagemiya when we return. // that kid has a habit of wearing socks. /
Here!
Tokine: Thanks…

Yoshi: Tokine! Tokine!//
I remembered to bring some plasters along...
Tokine: It‘s ok, Yoshimori…//
And Hatori-san too.../I'm alright already./Because that man has been helping me...

(Tokine: That’s fast!)
Miki: Hello. Thank you so much for your help.../I'm Tokine's acting-guardian for the custody transfer. My name is Hatori Miki.//I belong to the Urakai Operations Team, Yagyou
SFX: Smiles
Yuugami: You’re most welcome./ I’m Yuugami Kiyoderu, a member of the Urakai Prosecution Office, Special Investigation Team.

Miki: I would greatly appreciate it if you could throw a little light on the situation...

(p4)
Yoshi: Huh~? Where did I put it?
Tokine: (packed for a trip?) I told you I'm fine...

Yoshi: A-HA!~ Look!/ That’s the antiseptic!
Sen: (So I've been dumped to the side...)

Tokine: Ah!/ Oh yes! What about Karasumori?!
// Isn’t it night already?!
Yoshi: Karasumori?//
Hm~~~…/ I guess Gramps will sort it out, somehow?
Tokine: You...You left Karasumori behind, just like that?//
Protecting Karasumori is our…
Yoshi: It’s O.K. / Gramps always says that he will never retire./ Granny will be around as well
Tokine: Excuse me…?/ What kind of irresponsible attitude is that?!

Yoshi: Hey, come on~ For now, that sort of thing should…
Tokine: THAT SORT OF THING?!

(p5)
Tokine: ………// (What good am I doing here...?)//
Why don't you.../ever reflect on/ the importance of your duty...?

Sen: Oi, stop…
Yoshi: Shut up!!//
Didn't I tell you that the thing I want to protect//Isn't Karsumori?!!

Sen: (…oh?)
Yoshi: What/ I want to protect is~~~~~~~~~~~~//
…………..

(p6)
Yoshi: Why are you still getting mad at me, even now...//when I came all this way to save you...//
You know?/You were so strange yesterday.//
It was because of me that you were cornered into killing the god./And yet, you smiled...//
Normally, you would be flying off the handle…// I, I thought that I'd been so stupid to the point that you'd giving up on me. I was so worried!//
When I heard that you had been taken away by the Prosecution Office,//my heart was about to explode. Ever since, I've been wondering what I'd do, if you never returned...

(p7)
Yoshi: A life without Tokine. It's something that I've never experienced.//
‘When that happens, what will I become?’ I kept thinking about it...//
And so...//I became even more confused...//
It must be,/ that if you're not by my side, scolding me for my mistakes,
I would----------------//
So please don't disappear all of a sudden ever again!
Please!

Sen: (A tearful confession?)

(p8)
Tokine: Heh.
Yoshi: Oh?

SFX: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yoshi: Wha..//What’s so funny?!

Tokine: Because, because it just shows how headstrong you really are!
Yoshi: Head…
Tokine: You shove aside your duties just like that/ and then you want me to be angry at you, and the very next moment you tell me not to be...

SFX:AHAHA/ AHAHA
Yoshi: Stop…/Stop laughing already~…

Tokine: Sorry.// I can’t help it!

Yoshi:………
SFX: AHAHA HAHAHAHA

(p9)
Yoshi: Well,//You should be headstrong too!!
In that case...//we'd be equal!
Yup~~~ You don’t rely on people at all.//
And so, you see~…//
Like me, for example, when I wanted to come here.../
Though I said tons of headstrong things to a lot of people, and was always depending on them//
But somewhere along the way, I understood something./I'm glad I asked for help.//
In other words,

(p10)
Yoshi: You should rely on me a little more…// that’s… because… if you don’t do that, we won't be equal…

Tokine: Hm…// Uh…

Yoshi: When we’re equal,// I believe that you and I can be ….//
Clos…er..our distance…uh…zap like crazy…zoom-zoom.(mutters, mutters)
Tokine: Eh?/ What?
Sen: Yoshimori.// Come here.//
Are you an idiot?!// How can you mumble at such an important time?!
Yoshi: But, but…I…//
Huh? Kagemiya, your injury is okay already?
Sen: TOO LATE FOR THAT!!
Yoshi: GYA~~~~~~

(p11)
Yuugami: A freshman, indeed.// Your Prince Charming.

Tokine: HA?! Prince Charming?!
Yuugami: Mmm~ And your heart is cleansed.
Tokine: Eh,/ Wait a sec. What are you rambling about?!

Yuugami: Didn’t he rescue you in a pinch?
Tokine: Well, that’s true. But…// why does my prince have to be that shortie? Don't say such weird things.

Yuugami: Really…?// But, I feel that / he’d make you open up for a bit.//
From someone like me,// it’s an approach that ‘high-class’ people would never achieve.//
He easily opened a new window for you// in the room in which you'd unconsciously shut yourself.

(p12)
Yuugami: For your case, it’s the sense of responsibility.// When that idea becomes too strong,/ it can often bind people down//
But/ you do feel a little lighter when you talk to him, don't you?//
Saving the princess who is captured…//
That's the job of a prince, isn't it?

(p13)
Yuugami: Saikaku.//
I assume you know by now, everything leads back to Yashiro…

Saikaku: After my judgment, everyone will be found innocent and acquitted.// Yuugami-san, please visit the medical office for your injuries./ The arrangements will be made for the others to leave the island at once. //
For the rest, I will handle it myself.// That will do.
(Saiko: Huh? What am I doing here?)

Yuugami: … …That sure is rude./ So what you meant is, you won’t be delving into the matter any further. Right?
Saikaku: Actually, That is the biggest compromise I can give, as the Islands's caretaker.

Yuugami: Hmph…// (There is still a person imprisoned here…?)

(p14)
Sen: I say,/ it’ll be better if you tell her as soon as possible…
Yoshi: Huh?

Sen: Doing just this for that girl is plain not simple, ya know?!// Although you let that chance slip by,/ tell her “I like you” now!
Yoshi: LIKE…//
(Wha..wha..What did you say?!)
(Sen: Enough! Now do it!)
Tokine: Yuugami-san…are you feeling alright?// It's fine, you don't have to send us off. You should head off for your treatment quickly...

Yuugami: Ahh. I’m fine.// Also, that ‘I can’t walk much anymore.” line is a lie.
Tokine: Lie?!//
Wh..Why did you lie to me…?!
Yuugami: Heh./ In the end, you’re still a child.// A mature man will tell some lies depending on the situation!/ Be careful!

Tokine: Don’t point at me!
SFX: Slaps
Yuugami: Ouch!/ Don’t beat me!!
Yoshi: (Ah,/ why do they look so lovey-dovey, huh?! AH?!
(Sen: See, see!)

Yoshi: HEY!!

(p15)
(Sen: GO!!!)
Yoshi: Y…//You…

Yuugami: Listen, boy.
Yoshi: Oh?

Yuugami: Although that girl is a hard worker,/that aspect of her won’t easily be revealed to people, am I right?
Yoshi: U…Uh…?
Yuugami: So when she is trying too hard in her tasks,/ there are times when even she misses somethings, right? //

That moment is the best chance!
Yoshi: !
Yuugami: You have to find it. And then you lend her your hand without a single word!// When you do so,/ remember to act like you appreciate her efforts deeply. Never forget that!

(p16)
Yuugami: I’m only telling saying this to you./ Women have no resistance against "A Man's Leniency"//
Mark my words, and ‘A Man’s Leniency’ will be right in your very sight!// Come on! Try saying it yourself. LENI.EN.CY!
Yoshi: Lenien…
Yuugami: Too soft!//
When a girl like her who doesn't easily show her weaknesses starts to yield and is willing to rely on you…/ the victory is all yours.//
GOOD LUCK!

(Yoshi: Is he…a foe…or a friend..?)// (He might be a devil…)
Sen: The boat’s here. (You’re hopeless.)

Tokine: Well, Yuugami-san,// I don’t know how should I thank you…

(P17)
Yuugami: It’s really alright, you know? Thanks to you, I didn’t become a floating corpse.
Tokine: No-no…

Yoshi: (What the heck are they talking about…?!)

Yuugami: Do rely on him./ That headstrong prince.

Tokine: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

(P18)
Yuugami: Goodbye, my princess.//
And so,/ the Seaweed Prince is heading for the medical office. (Heehee.)

Yoshi: Oi!//
That’s why I’m asking. What the hell did that devil whisper to you?!
Tokine: What? What devil?~

Yoshi: I can feel that he said something really really scary…
Tokine: Don’t.ask.me.~

Yoshi: Tell me!
Tokine: Nope~
