Mig Agh -- !! You're building another combat robot -- quit it!! Your robots never work right!! -4 Mig [Sweep] [Beeeee] [Clanks] Your last, a giant cleaning robot, ran amuck and destroyed one third of the castle!! -5 Rogue [Wince] It's alright... this time I'm being more careful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 113 -1 Rogue ... What's this? I have two screws left over. Mig ..... -2 Rogue Now that Mink has memorized the Kaioh Tribe's scroll, it may cause trouble for me and Mig, if we fight her directly. -3 Rogue There... the skeletal structure is done. "The android soldier for dealing with Mink: Nibble-08." Mig Ummm, isn't this an important spare part you want to include, brother? -4 Rogue Oh... let me see that. -7 Rogue [Toss] [Can: rubbish] Ah, poit (sound effect of a small thing hitting the ground.) Mig Brother -- !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 114 -1 Mink Finally, we made it... The Demon King's Island. -2 Mink All - right, we can now fight the Great Demon King!! Chorus [Grunt] Yea -- !! -3 Paul [Rustle] Mink... I'll give you this!! Through my own investigation, I've made up this map for you. -4 Mink Wow!! Thank you! Paul Heh heh... It's a good piece of reference work. -6 Map [This region is uncharted; Boat Dock; Wall] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 115 -1 Mink ..... Pia Do you really think this is USEFUL, you useless person!! Paul Gulp!! -2 Paul Right. I don't know so much about the details, but I've got the rough outline!! I'm sure there's no traps around here -- !! -3 Paul [Zip] Wahhh!! -4 Paul ... This wall is a problem. -5 Paul This wall is... there is no way for a trespasser to enter, and it completely encompasses the island. -6 Paul [Throw] As for above... There's the forcefield. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 116 -1 Paul The only way in is to go around to the other side, where you'll have to defeat the Gate Keeper to get through the door beside her. -2 Suzuki Well, a visitor for the Great Demon King-sama. -3 Mink Eh,... ah... yes. Suzuki And whom, may I ask, is calling? -4 Rufa [Whisper whisper whisper] Give her a false name, and she'll just let you through. Mink Ah!! That's right. -5 Paul [Pose] This girl is Mink, and she's here to beat the Great Demon King!! -6 Mink ...... Rufa ...... old fool. -7 Suzuki [Glower] I see... So this is the great Mink-san... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 117 -1 Suzuki [Stand] I... am the receptionist, Suzuki. [Nameplate: Reception] Mink Huh!? .. ok. -2 Suzuki I'm sorry, without your permission, but you are supposed to be killed. -3 Mink I... I don't want that. -4 Sousar If you try one bite: as delicious as an electric shock (ie -- stimulating) -- Lightning Chocolate!! -5 Voice Right -- cut!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 118 -1 Guy 1 It was a good shoot. Have a good day. Guys Have a good day --. Sousar Have a good day. -2 Locker [Changing Room] [D -- Sousar] -3 Sousar [Flap] Whew -- ... -4 Sousar Long time, no see, Sonic. -5 Sousar I'm disappointed. Sonic You found me out. -6 Sonic I tried taking a picture of you while you were changing, once, to sell to your fans. But it failed. Sousar ...... -7 Sousar [Click click click] Anyway,... I'm glad you came here to see me. -8 Sousar [Grab] Hey! Sonic You don't me to do this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 119 -1 Sonic Err, Sousar, you've targetted three Kaiser Dragons. Titan, Manu, and Mink. -2 Sousar [Pour] Ah. Sonic Don't kill Mink. -3 Sousar ..... What!? Sonic Mink's a good kid. Your parents were killed by Titan; his grandchild, Mink, had nothing to do with that. -4 Sousar The Kaiser Dragons are a tribe of betrayers. If I let her go, she'll kill someone else. -5 Sonic ..... You're a hard man, as usual. Mink is not a killer. Do you remember, at Shiva's Castle, dancing with a girl named Lora? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 120 -1 Sousar I remember... she was a very gentle girl. -2 Sonic According to my top secret "Beautiful Girl File"... [Book: Beautiful Girl File #1] -3 Sonic Mink and Lora both have blood type D. Both have two moles, one on their left elbows, and one below the belly button. Sousar Gulp... Sonic Their heights are 156 cm, with measurements of 82-55-86. Both are C-cups. -4 Sonic Their body weights and eye sight are identical... There can be no mistake, they are one and the same person. -6 Sousar If... that may be true, but I will still kill Mink. -7 Sonic What's wrong with you!! There's a 17 cm difference between their bust and underbust measurements. 17 cm!! Sousar What about it!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 121 -1 Sonic Killing Mink won't bring your parents back. -2 Sousar You just don't understand. YOUR parents weren't the ones killed. -3 Sonic ..... I see. ... Sorry. -4 Sonic [Click] I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry... sorry for interrupting you. -5 Sousar Ah... no... sorry. I said too much... I've made some tea, please have some. -6 Sonic You don't want me, such a senseless person, around right now. Sousar [Grab] Don't say that. -7 Sonic [Crack] Oops. Sousar That camera again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 122 -1 Suzuki [Swish] [Flip] I'm sorry, because this is a personal affair, but... -3 Suzuki [Poke] If you pass on, I receive 3 weeks paid vacation, and a special bonus. Mink Yikes! -4 Mink Hell... -5 Rufa What a great strong body!! She even wears printed panties! Paul The pattern is a petite tomato!! -6 Suzuki [Splash] Please have some tea. Mink Yow -- !! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 123 -1 Suzuki How about a second cup... -2 Mink [Smolder] -3 Mink [Smash] Now, I'm mad!! Suzuki Shriek!? -4 Suzuki [Crumble] .....!! Wa... wait a little, please. -5 Suzuki We've already recognized your power. So, and... that... -6 Suzuki [Stomp] Kya! Mink Scream!! -7 Suzuki [Smack] I will use any means I can get away with... Please understand, I need the vacation time!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 124 -1 Suzuki [Attack] [Wham] [Roll] Hah! -2 Suzuki !! -3 Suzuki Oh no!! The Monroland jacket my uncle bought for me got dirty!! -4 Mink ...... eh so... sorry..... -5 Suzuki No apologies, please. Just take one more look at my business card. Mink Uh... ok. -6 Suzuki [Flick] An exploding business card!! -7 Mink [Ka-boom] Awk!! -8 Suzuki This is in revenge for the Monroland jacket!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 125 -2 Mink Choke... -3 Paul Yee-haw -- you drove off the Gate Keeper!! We can finally get past the wall. Mink Right... -4 Paul This is the only way to get inside. Rufa Hmmmm. -5 Rufa What's that!? -6 Others A-hah! [Arch: Main Entrance] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 126 -1 Nibble Rogue-sama. Awaiting your orders. -2 Mig You dressed up the killer robot rather strangely... -3 Mig It looks good, but are you REALLY sure that it's not going to go berzerk? Rogue You are getting tedious. I hooked up your precious spare part, didn't I? -4 Rogue Look at this mechanical soldier... I have a feeling of satisfaction... I never had before. It is perfect. Nibble-08, please show us your Missile Punch. -5 Nibble Ok! -6 Nibble [Roar] Missile Punch!! Rogue All right. Mig What the hell do you mean -- "All right"!! Sidebar Actually, failure is the mother of success.
