Chapter 220: Evil Thought

[side text: He might just got a peek accidentally. Moreover, she was in the shower, so it wasn‘t exposed!! But this entire experience is just far too…
EXHILARATING!!]

(p2)
[side text: Yoshimori wants to acquire “A Man’s Leniency” in order to get Tokine’s attention. But the daytime’s incident is so innerving that he can’t hold on any longer…]

Habuki: Here it comes!

Maodaro: Hurry up, Yoshimori!// Or Tokiko’ll steal your prey again!//
!// Yoshimori.// Do not be distracted.//
A strong stench reeks from the tree.// That might be its true body.//
HEY! FOCUS!!!
Yoshi: YESSS!

(p3)
Yoshi: Focus…//
AHH~~!!
Maodaro: Yoshimori?!//
Ah!/ There goes the real thing!

SFX: Pop!

(p4)
[Tsubogokkai
[Although it possess a cloth-like body that can stretch itself endlessly, it would perish once its true form---the pot, is destroyed.]

Tokiko: Phew.

Maodaro: What the heck are you doing?!//
After all my hard work…!
Tokiko: Pardon me…//
But no matter who is the opponent,// you do not skimp in your work.

Yoshi: No way did I skimp in my work…!
Tokiko: Is that so?// What I see, is that your concentration is diverted.//
Or…//

(p5)
Tokiko: Do you have any evil thought?

SFX: EVIL THOUGHT
(Tokine: Oh no!~ The soap’d gotten into my eyes!~)

Yoshi: No!/ No!No!// NOOO!~// No such thing at all!!

SFX: Chip,chip…

Tokiko: I can see that you did not ease off, and has repeated your training seriously these few days.

(p6)
Tokiko: I have clearly felt your repentance./ Thus, the probation is released.//
In the future, I hope to see that kind of spirit in your work too.// You shall return to your post tonight.

Tokine: Yes!/ Thank you very much!//
Well then, I’m going off!~

(p7)
Tokine: Ah.

Yoshi: Ah…//
(Tokine: Oh no!~ The soap’d gotten into my eyes!~)

Tokine: Yoshimori. From now onwards, I…//
Huh?!/ Hey!// Wait up!/ The school is not over there…//
It can’t be…// He ran away…?

(p8)
Yoshi: SIGH~//
(What to do…?)//(Now I can’t even look at Tokine directly when I saw her~…)//
(In other words, I got no guts to see her at all~…)
Sen: Hey! What’s up?// Why are you sighing like a girl?//
You’re so weird recently./ Something pops up?
Yoshi: NO! NOTHING AT ALL!

Sen:……//
Come on. We’re friend, aren’t we? Spill them out when you have problems.// Doncha ya feel happier by then? [A little used manipulating him.]

Yoshi: ……/ Don’t tell anyone~ No one!
Sen: Nah, I won’t tell~ I’m a secret agent after all, so you can have my lips sealed.

(p9)
Sen: ……..//You mean, you peek at her when she’s bathing…//
You’re really really low, ya know?
SFX: Saying all flat out
Yoshi: WHA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! (You should say it in the nicer way, if we’re really friends!)

Yoshi: I didn’t do it on purpose!
Sen: Well./ In the first place, you who stepped into a prohibited area, is already a crime itself./ Not only that, you’re a stalker!// What’s more, if this is exposed, no doubt you’ll be out of the game.

Sen: You shouldn’t resort into this, even if you can’t easily win her heart.// Funny. And here you are, boosting about “A Man’s Leniency” and look at what you’ve done. (Pitiful!~)

Yoshi: (Am I…// really that horrible?!~~~)

Sen: So,// what do you think?
Yoshi: Huh?
Sen: You’d seen it, didn’t you?//
That woman is way bustier that she appears, right?
Yoshi: Wha…?!// How the hell did ya know?!

(p10)
Sen: I touched her during the trip to Tengu’s Castle. (Please refer to volume 19)/ By the way, I still think Vice Chief has a slimmer waist!
Yoshi: YOU’RE THE ONE WHO IS LOW~~~~~~~~!!

Madoka: So what happens with Yoshimori-kun?/ Did you try to rely on him?

Tokine: How to say this… It seems like he’s avoiding me…
Madoka: Eh?!// How come?!
Tokine: He’s still mad at me, I guess…//
That boy… We‘ve known each other since the day we were born.//And because he’s younger than me, he’ll always get lectured.// So no matter how much he’d helped me, I just couldn’t thank him genuinely…//
Even though I always know/ how hard he has tried… //
I do like to get a gift for him./ But looking at things now, I’m afraid we can’t even talk…

(p11)
Madoka: NO WORRIES!// As long as you thank him with all your heart, there’ll be a way!//
I know! If you’re getting a gift, it’s always good to give home-made stuffs.
Tokine: Home-made?
Madoka: As a girl, making dessert is still the ideal choice.

Tokine: Well, if it’s baking, he can just do it by himself…
Modoka: Alright! It’s a deal then!/ A home-made gift doesn’t appear extravagant, so a dessert that display cuteness and allure is the best!
Tokine: Ah. But I’d never done it before…
Modoka: As long as the thought is there, it’s fine even you’re not good at it!

Modoka: Plus, if you leave the trail of your hard work, such a feeling like “It’s all for my sake?” will burst all out.
SFX: [No sweat!]// [Evil grin]
Tokine: Ohh…

[Nighttime, The Karasumori School]

Maodaro: What’s wrong? Moping around again?/ What a pain in the ass.
(Yoshi: Sigh…)

[SFX: An abrupt meeting]
Tokine: Ah.

(p12)
Yoshi: TOKINE…?!//(Why is she here?!)

Tokine: Hi, Yoshimori.// My probation is released…//
So starting from today, I’m…//
SFX: Dash

Tokine: (He ran away again…!)// Wait…!//
Yoshimori!

Shu: Why is Yoshimori-kun running away? They got into a fight?
(Tokine: Please wait!)
Sen: Um~~~~~~// Is it because of the guilt and the shame?//
(Geez.// It isn’t even exposed, so why the need to run?)

(p13)
Tokine: I TOLD YA TO WAIT, DIDN’T I?!~~~~~~
Yoshi: AHH!

Tokine: Ah!//
Oh no!/ Yoshimori!// Are you okay?!//
Yoshimori!//
Yoshi…

(p14)
Yoshi & Tokine: I’M SO SORRY!!//
Huh?

(p15)
Tokine: Why are you apologizing?
Yoshi: AH./ Well…./ Ya know…//
Las…// Last time, I got too cocky and said something like relying on me a little more, but….//
I realized that I’m not the kind that deserves to be relied at all. I’m the most horrible person on earth…
Tokine: Wait…Wait up! What happened?!//
No. That’s not the case.
Yoshi: I’m really sorry for being the worst…
Tokine: No, really! It‘s not like this.
Yoshi: Uh-huh. Someone like me should…

Tokine: You’re not!// Your arrival to the Guillotine Island truly give me so much reassurance! Really!

Yoshi: Huh…?
Tokine: It’s because you’re strong.//And it’s also due to my expectation towards you, so I’m really glad when you came…

(p16)
Tokine: For coming all the way to save me,// I thank you from the bottom of my heart.//
Sorry for the belated gift.

Yoshi: Ah, it’s cream puffs.

Tokine: Actually…// I thought of baking them by myself, but…//
(Wha… What is this black slimy thingy…?)// I just can’t make them well at all…

(p17)
Tokine: My mum couldn’t stand it any longer, so in the end, she bought those for me…// Sorry.
Yoshi: It’s okay. I don’t mind.

Tokine: I‘d…/ never imagine that baking is such a difficult task…

(Yuugami: Do rely on him!
Madoka: You've got to rely on him!(Even if you just fake a bit!))

Tokine: ……..//
Next time…//Can you teach me how to bake?

(p18)
Yoshi: Oh,// Ok. //(Huh? This is…)

Tokine: (This is the most I can do for now…)

Yoshi: (This is a tad different from what I thought, but is she relying on me a bit now?!
(Yuugami: When she yields and starts to rely on you, the victory is all yours!)
Yoshi: I think I can see a little path to victory…)

Shu: Ah, Sen-chan!// Looks like they make up!
Sen: Hmph.//
(At the end of the day, those fools are like the two of a kind…)

[side text: Like their rashness, for example--- it’s certain that the two have a lot in common.]
