Oumagadoki Doubutsuen 17

Hi there, dear readers. Now that I've caught up with JUMP (well, not completely up-to-date yet with the official releases but we're closing the gap here!^^) releases won't come as fast as they did the last few weeks... oh yeah, the Omake TL is done and is currently getting proofread. I'll post it some time this week!)

Here goes chapter 17. Fuka's last words <3 I love how Horikoshi handles that sorta stuff. :) [Same as with Kasai's monologue about Uwabami a few chapters ago...]

Shishido: Shuddup, fool!!
Sakamata (flashback): Being at da top of da land-based food chain // won’t mean a thing against me!
Shishido: I was only interested in you, bastard!
Igarashi: Oohh… so you are not here for my sake…
Igarashi (thinking): But… / He said “your group”, does that mean everybody’s here!?

Shiina: And I only like to do fun things!
Fuka: Huh……?
Shiina: The Helmet-man kidnapped my friend Igarashi. // I won’t allow that guy to do that kind of boring shit to me! // So I will thrash him anyway!
Fuka: Well then…
Shiina: Plus, that bastard trampled on me!
Fuka: Heh… I don’t care what the reason is as long as that guy gets what he deserves… // Hey,……
Shiina: What else!?

Page 12
Fuka: This is my last one. // Could you… / could you put me back into the ocean…? I… can’t move my body anymore, you know. // That bastard Ikkaku blabbed some nonsense about a funeral service and pierced fish or shit like that… / But I don’t wanna kick the bucket in a pile of trash… // Can’t it be at least… the place where I was born…!? / Would you do that for a dying man… / and answer just this one request…? // Sorry for the trouble… / You… you and Isana are so similar that you guys couldn’t be any more different… you’re a strange guy.
Shiina: We’re nothing alike, dammit! I’m not wearing a helmet!

Page 13
Fuka: …hahaha… // You really are a strange one. // Now then, take me back. // Just throw me down here. // I’m begging you, // rabbit man… // that guy… make sure to…

Shishido: Nghaa!!
Sakamata (in picture): He changed his trajectory by twisting his body.
Sakamata: Dat… was a good move just now.
Shishido: Hah // Hah // You bastard…you blocked before, didn’t you!?
Sakamata (in picture): What…? Don’t tell me…

Page 18
Shishido: At the very beginning… you didn’t bother defending yourself! // But you guarded your head just now! // And… when Shiina struck you back in the park… // you also guarded that head of yours!! // That thing has to be important!
Sakamata (in picture): He got me dere… and only by dat little incident just now… // Yes, dat part on my head is da soft spot used for echolocation… da melon※…… dat part… // da harbor of my wildness… or should I say, my battle instincts!
※A clump of fat used to regulate and control the sound waves
