The time for our final conflict with the long-time enemies Kingou Islands, is at hand. (The names on the Koukinrikishi are:) (On the left, front to back: KoHo, FuGen, JiKou, KuRyu, DouKou, TaiTsu.) (On the right, front to back: ??, Sekiseishi, KouRyuu, DouToku, GyokuTei, ReiHou.) 33. Buseiou's Rebellion 5 -Nataku: Takeoff!!!- Genshi: Seikyo Doutoku Shinkun! Doutoku: Yes! Genshi: Your disciple, Kou Tenka, is ready for battle, I presume? Doutoku: Yes... although Tenka's skills are not mastered yet, he has inherited his father's talents. Furthermore, he has the paopei "Bakuya no Houken". Genshi: Ah! And Taiitsu Shinjin! Taiitsu: Here! Genshi: I would like Nataku to go and help too, is that alright? Taiitsu: Nataku!? [172] Genshi: Taikoubou, Buseiou and his family are currently facing Kingou Islands' sennin. But, it seems that their chances of winning are slim. Taiitsu: Then, let me go help them! Genshi: No! The paopei used by those two people pose a great danger to the Twelve Sennin. Those are rather special paopei... Genshi: So, it must be someone like Nataku who is a paopei human without a soul! Taiitsu: ......... Taiitsu: But, I'm not sure if Nataku will listen to orders... Genshi: Then, you must think of a way to persuade him otherwise! [173] Taiitsu: *sigh* What a headache... Taiitsu: That guy is not going to listen to me! He'll definitely go against me! Taiitsu: ......... I will have to give it a try... [174] Nataku: .............. Hakutsuru: Nataku!! Hakutsuru: Eh? Where is Taiitsu Shinjin? Nataku: I'm looking for him too! Nataku: After he released that paopei earlier, he left in a great hurry. [175] Nataku: When I see him, I will kill him!! Hakutsuru: Just as well I came to take a look... (oh my) Taiitsu: Nataku!! Taiitsu: These are Master Genshi Tenson's orders! He wants you to return to the Human World to help Taikoubou! Hakutsuru: Taiitsu Shinjin, Nataku wants to kill you! Taiitsu: Don't distract me! Taiitsu: This is the most powerful robot paopei that I have created, "Koukinrikishi", specialising in aerial combat. Taiitsu: After all, I gained my rank as one of the Twelve Sennin due to my ability to invent paopei, so even though I'm not a great warrior... I excel at using paopei better than anyone else! Nataku: Enough talk... Watch what I can do!! Taiitsu: Haha! Can you do it!? [177] Nataku: !! Taiitsu: Heh heh, how was that? My robot is not bad, eh? Now, it's my turn! [178] Taiitsu: Paopei "Kinsen"!! Nataku: Argh...!! Hakutsuru: Nataku!! Hakutsuru: Taiitsu Shinjin... that was too harsh!! Taiitsu: It...it's all right! He can be repaired... [179] Nataku: Uh! Taiitsu: You are indeed a natural warrior. You have no chance of winning, yet you will continue to fight... Taiitsu: I really admire you... Now, I'll show you my power as a paopei inventor! Taiitsu: What I am using next is the paopei "Kasensou"! [180] Taiitsu: Kasensou Fire!! Taiitsu: Nataku!! Oh no!! That -was- too harsh!! [181] Nataku: .........!! Taiitsu: Nataku!! Hakutsuru: .......... Hakutsuru: Nataku is still only a child, you know! [182] Taiitsu: I will repair you. Nataku: .......... Don't you touch me! Taiitsu: Aw...don't be like this you won't be able to move if you're not fixed properly. You'll be fine after I repair you! Nataku: You are despicable! You defeated me only because of those paopei, not because of your own strength! [183] Taiitsu: You are referring to the Kinsen and the Kasensou? How about if I gave them to you. Nataku: What!? Taiitsu: But I have one condition... You should know without my saying it! Nataku: To go and help Taikoubou, right...? Taiitsu: All right! All fixed! Are your arms and legs feeling well? Nataku: Yeah... [184] Taiitsu: Got it? You must defeat the enemies! Nataku: I know that! Destroy each and every enemy! Taiitsu: (thinking) Oh no!! I'm dead if he turns on me and attack now!! [185] Taiitsu: (thinking) What to do? Taiitsu Shinjin! Remain calm, think!! Taiitsu: (thinking) Ah...wait a minute! I still have the Kyuryuu Shinka Tou! Taiitsu: If anything happens, I can hide inside!! This paopei is the Senkai's strongest armour!! Taiitsu: Come on, Nataku!! Let me teach you the greatness of being a parent! Nataku: I'm off, bye. Taiitsu: Thank goodness he is a loner... [186] Nataku...the purpose of your existence is for combat... I hope that you will fight a great battle for the sake of Kongrong...no! For the world! Nataku: Are you very powerful? I can tell by your smell. [187] Youzen: I -am- very powerful! Nataku: Is that so? I hope to duel with you! Youzen: Go to Taikuobou, we will meet again there! I intend to go look for him too. Nataku: Huh. Volume 4 Buseiou's Rebellion (End) o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o ~ o Translation (c) 2000 Koushi - all rights reserved.
