Bo-bobo: How long are you going to continue living this life? You’re in great health. Do you really want to throw that away?

26.
Don Patch: That hurt…Let go.
Bo-bobo: Ku!!
Don Patch: Don’t be so heated.
Bo-bobo: …oh. You may be right. In that case, won’t Bobomi be worried about you? You earnestly need to see her one more time…
Don Patch: My bad. This is so I won’t be unhappy---I can’t talk to her.

Bo-bobo: Just wait a bit. Dinner will be ready in a while.
Bo-bobo: Ah.
Don Patch: You know I did see Bo-bobo today.
Bo-bobo: Hee, did you talk to him?
Don Patch: He told me to “get a job”. That was hilarious, ha ha ha…
Bo-bobo: …………
Don Patch: How about it? Isn’t that funny?
Bo-bobo: ……Pacchin…are you going to marry me…?

28.
Don Patch: …Wh…what brought that suddenly on…? I haven’t decided…
Bo-bobo: YOU’RE LYING!!!!!
Don Patch: OW---!!!!!
Bo-bobo: Isn’t it just always you speaking!!! If you feel like marrying me…if you really want to marry me, then you should get a job!!!!
Don Patch: …But aren’t you always saying that? I’m going to be a guitarist in the future…
Bo-bobo: YOU’RE LYING!! I’VE NEVER SEEN YOU PLAY YOUR GUITAR EVEN ONCE!!! YOU’RE ALMOST ALWAYS LEAVING THAT GUITAR YOU TALKED ABOUT IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM.
Beauty: (sip)
Beauty: THAT’S NOT A GUITAR, THAT’S BUTTER!!!!
Box: Hokkaido Butter
(Note: Another weird translation joke: “guitar” is pronounced “gitaa”, “butter” is pronounced “bataa”.)

29.
Bo-bobo: THAT BUTTER GIVES OFF A HORRIBLE SMELL IN THE SUMMER!!! THROW IT AWAY IMMEDIATELY!!!
Don Patch: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!!

Sawai Note: This character was thought up by Shimada Koukou of Hyogo Prefecture. Thanks!!
Karasu: Ah----I have a driver’s license----I do have a bike but----
Man: This is a half door.
Karasu: Ah, it is. Thanks.
Don Patch: That man…
Bo-bobo: What’s wrong, Don Patch?
Don Patch: I can’t believe he’s alive…

Narrator: Ten Years Ago
Sign: National Boy’s Shogi Meet
Don Patch: Checkmate
Boy: …I...I surrender.
Don Patch: Hu
Boys: Yay---!
Boys: Just as expected, Don Patch-san. One more win and you’re the champion.
Don Patch: Aah.
Boys: We were really moved by your previous match. Good luck on the next one!!!
Don Patch: Long ago, I had expectation for my future. I was a shogi genius. Everyone expected me to go pro and there were many legends rumored about me…
(Note: the term “kishi”, is used for chess players, but since shogi and chess are similar I decided to just keep it as “shogi genius”)
Don Patch: Yes…until that man appeared…
Announcer: WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS BEGIN THE FINAL MATCH!!

36.
Karasu: So…let’s begin…
Don Patch: The match started from there…since he became my rival, I was already taking in a strange feeling from him…on that day, I received my first defeat…
Don Patch: I SURRENDER…
Karasu: You were fine this time, but let me give you one bit of advice.
Karasu: You can’t “warp” from one corner of the board to another.
Don Patch: It wasn’t just the taste of defeat that man gave me, it was the three years that’s passed since then. I deny ever “warping” then…Ever since that day, I’ve disappeared from the shougi world. I’ll never become an adult until I’ve endured this humiliation…

37.
Man: Ah, Karasu-san, you’ve come here?
Karasu: Ka.
Don Patch: Karasu.
Narrator: Two months earlier.
Bo-bobo: No…Karasu-san!...
Don Patch: N! Karasu? Who’s that?
Don Patch: KARASU
Hair Hunter: So, with that, the interviews will begin. When I call your name, please head to the next room.
Hair Hunter: Karasu-san, Don Patch-san, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo-san. Only those three.
Narrator: To be continued.
Beauty: THERE’S MORE!?

(Translator's Note: Hi again. I'm going to have a bit of a problem now trying to get more translations done as quickly as I did the last volume but somehow I will attempt to keep this going as long as possible. Personally, as strange as this part is, this really isn't one of my favorite chapters in the series. However, in order to get to the next major arc...which this is technically a part of but really gets underway in the next chapter or two...it had to be done. As for Don Patch's "history"...take it however you choose, considering how Hajikelists change their life stories all the time outside the important parts)
