karma: This is perseverance!

ikkyu: Take a rest, idiot!!

karma: Don't be naive, moron!

--

karma: You'd just be a puny monk that's a bit smart!

karma: Right, Ikkyu!? Don't tell me I'm wrong!!

--

thought: Tch, he got my weakness...

--

ikkyu: This is the ill fate they always talk about.

karma: You're too arrogant
karma: In the past, I was also an evil spirit that made everyone tremble with fear.

ikkyu: You're saying those _LIES_ again~~? Do you have proof!?

karma: Even though it happened in the past, so you can't find evidence.... Haha

ikkyu: Ahh~ Is that so?!

--

karma: Hmph, I don't care about what happened in the past.

karma: Right now, the most important thing is the battle between you and me.

karma: This is our everything!
karma: kakaka

--

ikkyu: What are you cackling about, idiot!!

[karma: What?!]

--

ikkyu: You know...

p9
ikkyu: You're just pretending to be someone special! But you're just a nameless little monster!!
ikkyu: You were found out a long time ago!!

ikkyu: When you defeated people, you were probably always asked this right?!

ikkyu: "Who are you"!?

karma: Damn him.
[karma: How did he find out?]

--

karma: Shut up, bratty Ikkyu!
karma: My time will come again!

ikkyu: It's impossible after you've run into a genius like me!

karma: I definitely will!
karma: I visited the Ougosho master earlier. He said
karma: You'll definitely "return"!

karma: He even said "this year will decide the winner"!!

ikkyu: Who cares?

--

karma: Before I met you, I was doing great!!
karma: If only I never met you!!

ikkyu: !?

karma: Hey!! Are you listening!?

ikkyu: It's been almost two years!?

--

ikkyu: Why is this?!

man: Who knows...But this is what everyone says.
man: Can you see it? That mountain.

ikkyu: Mountain!?

--

man: Yes... A long time ago, no one would dare go near.
man: It became a desolate area...

man: At the top of the mountain, there lives the "master of the mountain"...

--

man: Perhaps...
man: There was a sorrowful tale that happened.

man: Everyone says
man: that's how the legend goes...

p12
karma: Hey Ikkyu! Let's go back!

ikkyu: No way!!

karma: Nosing around is a bad habit of yours.
karma: Let's go back to the village and drink some hot tea!!

ikkyu: Drink it alone, moron.

--

ikkyu: But you know, this is pretty amazing!
ikkyu: Making this entire area into a snow packed winterland!

ikkyu: What kind of person is the master of the mountain?!

karma: I want to know!!
karma: kakaka

p13
ikkyu: HM?!

--

karma: Don't follow her lead.

--

karma: Hey...
karma: Are you the one making the weather like this!?

karma: Yukionna.

--

ikkyu: Oh.
ikkyu: Now that you said it, the snow is slowing.
ikkyu: Could it be going according to this girl's mood!?

karma: She doesn't seem to realize it.

p14
thought: It's my first time...

girl: Um...
girl: ...My name is

girl: Yuri.....
girl: ........

thought: Seeing a human up close...

thought: What going on with this person...

--

thought: And he has...

thought: Such a weird thing with him...

--

girl: A monster that likes riddles!?

ikkyu: That's right.

p15
ikkyu: Seven years ago, this guy appeared in front of me!!
ikkyu: Like I said, he just totally wanted to eat my soul!

ikkyu: But his luck ran out when he ran into me!!

ikkyu: He gave me an unreasonable question!!
ikkyu: But the great Ikkyu was able to make a witty comeback easily and defeated him!!

--

ikkyu: After that, this guy hasn't been able to devour my soul for the past seven years.

ikkyu: He can only stare at books everyday!!

--

girl: .......That's amazing!!

girl: Ikkyu is amazing!!

ikkyu: It's alright.

--

girl: Hey, what's a riddle? Tell me!

ikkyu: Hmm!? A riddle!?
ikkyu: If that can make you happy
ikkyu: then I'll tell you if you make the weather go back to normal...

girl: Okay, promise!!

p16
ikkyu: Hm... Well... I think...
ikkyu: It happened when I was borrowing a friend's place to live.

ikkyu: "A tale"...
ikkyu: I guess you could call it that...

--

text: "Ikkyu" and "A safe that can't be stolen"

--

karma: Well~ We'll decide on the ultimate winnter today!

karma: Hanasaka Ikkyu!!

--

ikkyu: You said the same thing yesterday...

ikkyu: Well... What is the "question" this time!?

ikkyu: What's up with this safe!?

--

ikkyu: Oh yeah...

ikkyu: And who is that?

--

karma: kakaka, good question.

p17
karma: This is the notorious amazing thief!!

karma: Known as the king of opening safes, "Tanaka"!!

tanaka: Hello, I'm Tanaka.

--

karma: Today's question is rather simple.
karma: There is a safe right here!!

ikkyu: Yes... There is.

--

karma: Inside this safe is something very expensive...
karma: If the king of opening safes...

karma: Can't steal the object, then you win.
karma: If he steals it, you lose!!

--

karma: But!!
karma: There is a rule.

karma: You can't do ANYTHING to Tanaka.
karma: That's it.

p18
karma: The deadline is tomorrow morning... Hey!
karma: Are you listening!?

ikkyu: Yeah, I heard you!

ikkyu: Well~~ Tanaka-san...

--

tanaka: Ah, yes.
[tanaka: I am Tanaka]

--

ikkyu: I'll leave the safe at the main entrance.

ikkyu: I'm going to sleep now.

ikkyu: After that, do whatever you want.

--

karma: Ikkyu!!

karma: Hey, wake up Ikkyu!!

--

karma: I won!! I finally won against you!!

ikkyu: Ah...
ikkyu: Really~

karma: As we promised, I'll be taking your soul!

--

ikkyu: Oh my, it's empty.
ikkyu: He's really good~ Tanaka-san.

karma: You deserve it!

p19
karma: But...

karma: You only did such a small little trick?

karma: Ikkyu....

--

karma: Putting another safe within the safe...

karma: But... That's just a tiny bit of cleverness!

--

karma: It's completely empty inside!

karma: Good job Tanaka!!
karma: A perfect thief...

ikkyu: Well, I'm sorry to have to disturb you when you're so happy.

--

ikkyu: The important object I placed inside the safe...

ikkyu: Is this.
[ikkyu: Even though it's not mine]

--

karma: ........

--

karma: WHAT?!

--

ikkyu: Tanaka must have been super happy
ikkyu: After opening consecutively two safes...

ikkyu: But he never guessed that the inside would be empty.

ikkyu: And then gave up after that! Hahaha

p20
ikkyu: Basically,
ikkyu: There are thieves that steal things inside a safe!

ikkyu: But a thief that wants to steal a safe...
ikkyu: Definitely doesn't exist!!

--

ikkyu: Well I'm going back to sleep
ikkyu: Ahh!! The wish is just this.

karma: ......

ikkyu: Arrest Tanaka.
ikkyu: Please and thanks~

--

girl: OHHHHH!!!

--

ikkyu: And that's what happened!

girl: So smart!! Ikkyu's so smart!!

--

girl: Ah.

thought: That's right...

thought: If it's this person,

girl: Um...

--

thought: Maybe he can do it.

girl: I have something to show you.

p21
ikkyu: This...

ikkyu: This is...

--

girl: The wolf... has been frozen in ice.

--

thought: Could it be... The reason why winter hasn't been able to pass is...

girl: AH?!

p26
none

p27
ikkyu: I see...

ikkyu: In order for the wolf not to fall to its death,
ikkyu: You used your powers to freeze it.

--

ikkyu: Looking at the situation,

ikkyu: It seems like this ice is really difficult to melt.

ikkyu: Is that right?

--

girl: It's not difficult to melt!!

girl: This is ice that will never melt!!
girl: At the time... I used my everything to make it.

--

girl: Hey! Can Ikkyu solve this with his wit!?

girl: Please save... Save Shiro!

ikkyu: Mm...
ikkyu: Even though I want to help you,

--

ikkyu: Ice that will never melt...
ikkyu: ......

ikkyu: Oh yeah... Maybe...

--

ikkyu: If it's that guy...

karma: !?

p28
girl: What?!
girl: That person can melt the ice!?

ikkyu: Yeah...!
ikkyu: Even though he looks really weak and useless, he has a really incredible power.

girl: Really?!

--

ikkyu: Hey Karma!

ikkyu: Are you able to melt the ice?

karma: Hmm... Probably.

--

ikkyu: Since you're the same kind, you should help her out.

karma: What!? Why should I!?

ikkyu: Hey, she's a lonely girl with no one to depend on.
ikkyu: Plus, a yukionna is a famous monster!
ikkyu: Do you know what it means to raise your popularity? What do you think will happen when you help that child!?

karma: .....

karma: Raise my popularity

ikkyu: Yup!!

--

ikkyu: He said he'll help you.

girl: Really?! Thank you uncle!
girl: I don't even know what to say!!

karma: Don't think about it. It's natural to help your own kind.

--

girl: This is great!!! Ikkyu!!
girl: This person is so nice!!
girl: He must be a really magnificent person!!

girl: This is so great!! Banzai!!

ikkyu: That's great.

karma: Ehehehehehehe

p29
karma: I lied!!
[karma: Idiioooots!]

karma: kakakaka

--

karma: You've mistaken me.

girl: !?

karma: The great me can only grant wishes under one condition.

karma: It's only when I ask a "question"

karma: and you can give a witty answer.

--

karma: I like riddles.

karma: I especially like eating...

karma: Souls troubled by greed and problems!!

--

karma: That's why it's not a game to have a contest with me!!
karma: If you want to play, you have to put your "soul"...

ikkyu: .......

karma: On the line!

p30
karma: Your wish is simply for your selfishness

karma: Who would grant it for free!?
karma: kakaka

--

karma: Sit here forever to watch that wolf.

karma: That sacrifice suits you well.
karma: Doesn't it?!

--

karma: If you're like "this"

karma: Won't you be together forever!?

karma: kakaka

--

ikkyu: Alright.

--

karma: What?!

p31
girl: I will play against you too!

girl: A riddle contest with our lives on the line!!

--

girl: Even though I'm.... Really stupid
girl: I'll probably lose.

girl: But... He is my first friend.

--

girl: It's my mistake that cause him...

ikkyu: ....

girl: That's why I have to save Shiro.

--

girl: And reunite

girl: With him again!!

--

karma: Well then

p32
karma: Let's start then!? Little lady!!

karma: KAKAKAKAKA

--

karma: Half an hour later

karma: Your small tiny soul

karma: Will be my stomach!!

--

karma: The "question" is...

karma: Now that I think about

--

karma: What should I ask!? haha

--

girl: Shiro!!

--

girl: !?

p33
ikkyu: Let me take her place!

--

ikkyu: Don't mind me, Karma...
ikkyu: The soul you truly want to devour is mine, right!?

--

karma: Ikkyu...

--

karma: You kid!?

girl: You can't Ikkyu!!
girl: If you lose, you'll die!!

ikkyu: Hm~ Then it's okay if I don't lose?

--

girl: .....
girl: We only met today

girl: Why would you do something like this for me!?

--

girl: I... Can't help you at all...

ikkyu: ....

--

ikkyu: .....

ikkyu: About that, I'm the same.

--

ikkyu: Thinking on my feet...
ikkyu: Incredible wit...

ikkyu: A witty monk with quick responses
ikkyu: That's what everyone said around me
ikkyu: The only thing I was proud of was my wit

--

ikkyu: In the past... To help those in need and those in hunger
ikkyu: I did a lot of things

ikkyu: I could solve any problems with my wit
ikkyu: And I even tried to use it to raise money...

--

ikkyu: But...

--

ikkyu: But...

p34
ikkyu: This kind of wit...

ikkyu: Can't help anyone.

ikkyu: It's a piece of shit.

--

ikkyu: When I realized this

ikkyu: I felt
ikkyu: That I was useless in this world

--

ikkyu: Until that day
ikkyu: When this guy appeared in front of me...

ikkyu: At that instance, my useless "quality"
ikkyu: Became a "power" to help others!!

--

ikkyu: The past... Useless me
ikkyu: No longer exists!!

ikkyu: If anyone has any need
ikkyu: Or is in tears

ikkyu: Or even if they're on the verge of life and death, I can help them!
ikkyu: This is my path of wit!!

--

karma: kakaka

karma: You make me laugh!!

--

karma: You only have meaning is I exist!?

karma: In that case, I am like "god" to you!

karma: Then why don't you go "offer" your life to my shrine!?

karma: Or perhaps try "praying"!?

ikkyu: Sorry.

p35
ikkyu: My life is just like an offering of steamed buns.

ikkyu: Even though it's offered
ikkyu: But the one to eat it in the end... Is myself!!

--

ikkyu: And then...

ikkyu: To replace praying!!

--

ikkyu: I give Hanasaka Ikkyu's

ikkyu: Way of the Wit!

text: "Ikkyu" and "Tea"
