SyuKi: We are not related by blood, but you've treated us well... GoKen: Ah! Who cares if he's the emperor, we can't let him off! GoKen: Let's get rid of him, Brother Hiko!! [112] GoKen: Why don't you say anything? Say something!! Hiko: ............ GoKen: HEY! GoKen: Because you don't dare to go!? Forget it! We will go by ourselves! Hiko: WAIT A MINUTE!! Hiko: I will go speak to His Majesty personally... [113] Hiko: I can't leave this unresolved!! - Imperial Palace - Kokibi: Sister, Chuuou seems really listless. What's wrong with him? Dakki: He must have had too great a shock! [114] Dakki: The shock to his spirit is even greater than when he succumbs to my Temptation spell. I think our power is still insufficient! Chuuou: The sun is setting... Servant: Begging your pardon, Your Majesty... Buseiou wishes an audience with Chuuou on a personal matter... Chuuou: ........... He's finally here... [115] Kokibi: Buseiou lost his wife and sister, he looks really angry! Will Chuuou be killed? Dakki: Oho! You don't have to worry for Chuuou! He has been trained by Bunchuu! Chuuou: ! [116] Hiko: Your majesty... Please make your move! [117] Chuuou: ........ All right... Shinkouhyou: Oh! The show is about to begin! Dakki: Eh? It's you, Shinkouhyou! [118] Hiko: AAAAAAAHH!! [119] Chuuou: Buseiou... That was an accident... Hiko: I know... I know that... That was not your majesty's fault... Hiko: But, regarding this matter, I can't let it go without a resolution! [120] Chuuou: AAAhhh aaahhh!! Shinkouhyou: Haha... Chuuou is not bad too... [121] Shinkouhyou: Buseiou's power and skills are comparable to that of sennin... Shinkouhyou: To think that Chuuou is evenly matched against him... Shinkouhyou: That's rather strange...how could a normal human fight Buseiou on even terms? Furthermore, Chuuou is not that young any longer, how could he have such a strong constitution? Shinkouhyou: Dakki...did you "alter" Chuuou somehow? KoKibi: Oh! KoKibi: Victory is about to be decided! [122] Hiko: !! Dakki: That's great! I didn't think that Chuuou was so powerful! To think that he could handle Buseiou so easily! [123] Hiko: Aaaaaaahhh... Chuuou: You wish to leave me? Buseiou... Hiko: .......... Yes... Chuuou: Is that so? We grew up together... I will miss you... Chuuou: You will go to Seiki? Hiko: Yes! [124] Chuuou: Is that so... Hiko: Kashi... [125] - Senrigan - Genshi: Ah...Buseiou has finally left Chuuou... Hakutsuru: Eh!? Hakutsuru: That's great! Now, he can help Taikoubou- shishu! Genshi: It's not that simple! Genshi: Buseiou has a large family... It won't be easy to get all of them out of Chouka. Genshi: And if his good friend, Bunchuu, finds out about Buseiou's rebellion, he will be very angry too. Dakki will also send her minions after him! Hakutsuru: So, we should ask Taikoubou-shishu to go and help him! Genshi: Yes...but it won't be in time! [126] Genshi: Before Taikoubou reaches him, we will send another to help. He is the one man in the Senninkai with the greatest tie to Buseiou. - Seiki - Taikoubou: Ah! The army's training is going well. Taikoubou: At least we will be ready for Chouka's army... Taikoubou: Eh? [127] Taikoubou: ACK~~~!! Bukichi: Wow~~ what is that!? Taikoubou: That's Master Genshi Tenson's paopei "Koukinriishi"!! Genshi: Taikoubou, accept your mission~~ Buseiou is in grave danger, hurry to Chouka!! Taikoubou: What? o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o Translation (c) 2000 Koushi - all rights reserved.
