Chapter 219: Leniency

[side text: Troubled youth... And so the troubling times nurture the boy into a man.]

(p2)
[side text: What bothers Yoshimori after the return from Guillotine Island?]

Tokine: Ah.//
Yoshimori!
Yoshi:………..

Tokine: Yoshi…//
(Huh?/ Is he busy?)//
(Although I got the gist on most things from Granny,/ I would still have liked to ask him some questions about the situation in Karasumori during my probation…)

(p3)
Sen: What’s up?// What’s with the glum face?

Yoshi: Hey, Kagemiya…
Sen: Hm?

(p4)
Yoshi: "A Man's Leniency"… What is it really?
Sen: What the…?!//
Did you bump your head or something…?
Yoshi: So…Tell me. Leniency? What the heck is leniency?!//
The more I think about it, the more I don’t get it!
Sen: ……// By the way, why are you asking?

Yoshi: Uh-huh. It’s just that…//
If I got just that thing…// then maybe…Tokine would rely on me…

(p5)
Yoshi: Or could it only be a whisper from the devil, just to put me into a state of confusion?!//
Damn that four-eyed devil!! Curse you!
(Yuugami: AHAHAHA// Worship me!)[on his clothes: Evil]
Sen: (The four-eyed devil?)

(Yoshi: He must have got those devilish powers from his curly hair!)
Sen: ……..//
Say… Actually, I don’t find anything wrong with his words at all. But…
Yoshi: What?!

Sen: It’s impossible. // It’s a quality that little brats like us would never possess.

Yoshi: Nooo!/ Don’t concede defeat that easily!!
Sen: Impossible means it can’t be done. The end.

Yoshi: No. I really really need it. NOW!//
I know it’s impossible for me grow any taller right at this moment, but things like leniency, there must be a way! I’m sure of it!/ If I’m depended on, victory will be all mine!
Sen: What is there to win anyway…?!

(p6)
Sen: Well~~~/From the word itself, doesn’t it mean to display benevolence too?// In other words,/ it should bear the requirements of being gentle, confident and generous, right?

Yoshi: (That many?!)
Sen: To sum it up roughly,/ it should be someone who is able to give others the sense of security… But…//
Don’t you always love to making people feel anxious?

Yoshi: (I make people anxious…// How come…That…That means…)//
(It’s absolutely impossible?!~~~~)

(p7)
Sen: (No choice then~)// So the point is that you want to be relied on?// I've been invited for dinner with the Yukimura tonight./ So meanwhile, I can do some checking with her to see how dependable you are.

Yoshi: REALLY?!
Sen: Uh./ But this also means you owe me one.//
(But frankly, you can’t really say…//that woman didn’t choose to not depend on Yoshimori completely…)

-Well then. Next page…

Tokine: (Ah!)// (Perhaps this morning…)//
(Yoshimori…was mad at my attitude…?)//(Oh yes…/ He had gone all the way to help me, and yet, I didn’t…)

(p8)
Yoshi: (Yup~~~ You don’t rely on people at all.)// (You should rely on me a little more…)

Tokine: Madoka?//
Am I really the type/ that doesn’t rely on people?
Madoka: Eh?//
Uh…//You always give the feeling that you can work very hard just fine by yourself.
Tokine: I knew it…//
(And here I am, always telling him not to be rash.// Yet at the end of the day, am I the same…?)

(p9)
Madoka: Who said that to you?
Tokine: Er…

Madoka: Yoshimori-kun!// It’s Yoshimori-kun, right?~
Tokine: Well, I guess so…
Madoka: And what else did he say?

Tokine: He said to rely on him a little more,// and some other headstrong things…
Madoka: KYA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! (Aiya~♥)//
Please do it! You have to! You've got to rely on him! Please!
Tokine: Ehhh…(Too close…)//
But…
Madoka: Whatever will do…/ It’s fine even if you fake it!
Tokine: Fake it?

Madoka: Like my brother, for example. All I have to say is, “Please♥”. Then he'll reply, “It can‘t be helped then~”, and even with a face of glee!/ All you have to do is to act like you’re depending on him, and this is enough to make guys ecstatic!!
Tokine: Oh…?

(p10)
[The Yukimura]

Tokine: You! Wait up!//
You leave ginseng to the side again?!// Don’t be fussy when you’re eating!
Sen: I didn’t leave any to the side~/ See, Shu will eat them up.//
I feel uncomfortable if I eat ginseng.// Here./ It’s up to you, Shu.

Tokine: Ah!/ Even the mushrooms are left over!!
Sen: What’s wrong with that?! It’s not like mushrooms are that nutritious.

Tokine: You do'n't do what you want when you’re in someone’s house!!
Sen: That’s why I didn’t leave any leftovers at all!!/ It’s Shu!!
Mother: Please stop, you two…//(This is terrible…That is a very bad vibe coming from Mother-in-law!)

(p11)
Yoshi: Kagemiya!// So… How was it?// What did Tokine say?

Sen: Ah.// I forgot to ask.
Yoshi: WHAT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!//
YOU! What the heck are you doing?!~
Sen: No-no. I was caught with something troublesome so I got no time to bring it up.//
Speaking of this… Yoshimori, are you picky with food?
Yoshi: Huh?/ Not really…

Sen: In that case, it’s alright even if you don’t have leniency./ Right, Shu?
Yoshi: What the hell was that?!~ (What?! I feel like I'm being tossed around like a ball!)
Shu:?

(p12)
Sen: Karasumori is filled with all kind of dangers,/ so pay attention and get to work, Yoshimori.
Hakubi: (Honey~)
Yoshi: Now when Tokine is still in her probation and so isn't here, how can you tell me to cheer up? How?!//
Moreover, if I did a bad job, the old lady will chew me out more than Tokine does. Grr, that old lady~~~!!!
Madarao: It’s your own fault after all…

Sen: Well~ It’s not like we don’t understand why you’re so irritated…//
He’s called Yuugami, right? That guy…// He just escaped with Tokine for a few hours, and they were already getting along so well!
Shu: Huh?/ Is that true?
Sen: Whoa! That’s pretty dangerous.//
Those two people…// If they’re in a Hollywood movie, they’re surely canon! CANON!

(p13)
Sen: Good for you this ain’t a Hollywood movie then.
Shu: Yoshimori-kun…?

Yoshi: Tokine…

Tokine: (Once my probation is done…,// I have to thank Yoshimori properly…)

(p14)
Yoshi: It’s been three days since I saw Tokine./ I haven’t even see her on the scene at all… (What’s more, today is a school holiday.)// Don’t tell me that during these times,/ she has a Hollywood progression with that devil…? Noo!
(Yuugami: Flying to you with my devilish wings.)// (Tokine: Wow~♥)

Yoshi: Is she in the training hall…?// I don’t think she’s out yet…//
………..

Tokine: Phew.//
That’s it for the day.

(p15)
Yoshi: Huh?~ She’s not in the hall.//
Yo.//
I think her room is around here…//
Oh yes, I remember that I’ve sneaked into her house before when I wanted to see her…//
Hey!// Hey!//
Ah!// Tokine!

(p16)
Yoshi: And come think of it, it’s THAT OLD LADY~!!
Tokiko: HOOLIGAN!!~//
Yoshi: (And so I was caught by that old lady and it turned out so bad…//
Oh.// The window over there is open for a bit…

(p17)
Tokiko: HOOLIGAN!!~~~~~~~~~
Yoshi: (YIKES!!)//
Damn! How come it ended up into this again?!// No way! If I’m discovered right now, it’s not going to be that easy anymore!

(Tokiko: Hooligan!~~~)//
YOU BETTER COME OUT, NOW!!
Yoshi: (Who would really come out?!)//
(That’s too bad…I thought I could at least catch a glimpse of her…/ Better luck next time…// Huh?

(p18)
Tokine: Looks like something happened to Granny…She sure is noisy…/ I wonder what’s going on…?

Yoshi: AH…
