Volume 4, Part 4
by Matsushita Youko
Version 2.00, translated by:
Mina-P (E-mail Minako@senshigakuen.com)
[In case anyone cares, the title page has Enma-chou's archery team on top of little cards. The cards are replications of Hanafuda cards, approximately real sized actually. Fun game, but a real mess to shuffle...]
Juuou-chou's 5th Court—— Enma-chou
Everyone's gathered for the long awaited martial arts tournament. The elder Gushoushin as the host sits behind a mic at a long table.
Gushoushin: Thanks for waiting~! At last, today is January 7th!!
{sound f/x wai: crowds cheering}
Gushoushin: Today we'll decide the top office in Juuou-chou with extreme martial arts! Okay—— Now then, our competition hall is the result of an impartial lottery... We're holding the competition here, in the archery range set up specially in Enma-chou. Well then, let's introduce our players!! First up, they were last year's champions. With the record of 15 years of consecutive victories, Enma-chou's three players! Team Terazuma, Kurosaki, and then Chief Konoe's replacement Tsuzuki——— Their opposition secured the right to challenge through fierce competition. Soutei-chou's Kanawa Three Sisters, they're Team Yukiko, Tsukiko, Hanako!!
Tatsumi and Watari have come along and are cheering for the team on the side lines.
{sound f/x gyu: squeeze 003}
{sound f/x hi: 003 shrieking}
Watari: No matter what, win everyone~~~~!! (Because if you lose, I'll in debt hell forever~~~~~!!!)
Tatsumi: If Terazuma-san's there, at least he won't lose. (The problem is Tsuzuki-san, isn't it.)
Gushoushin: Well then, here's an explanation of the rules. Each player in turn will fire three arrows. The object is to make the round balls that are your targets fall.
String covered balls sit on top of long poles off of the ground
Gushoushin: The balls that are far and small will be more points. The team with the most points will become the winners but... If you open it up there might also be command letter inside. If you do not follow the orders, you forfeit part of your points.
There is a picture letter with the kanji "seal" on it.
Gushoushin: When it's ended, will the winner be Enma-chou... or Soutei-chou?
At the broadcasting table, Gushoushin sits with the Count as well as Watson.
Gushoushin: Okay—— Now then, the match's live commentator is myself, Gushoushin (Elder). Please greet our guests The Count of Rosque Palace and Watson-san.
(Younger's in the middle of work.)
Count: Hi~.
Watson: (Pleased to meet you.)
{sound f/x gan: Tsuzuki's horror}
Tsuzuki: [whipping around] (geh~) Count~!!? (What are you doing in a place like this~?)
(Distracted.)
The Count is busy leaning his mask on his glove and daydreaming about Tsuzuki.
Count: Aa... How cute is he, my Tsuzuki...
([pointing to the "my Tsuzuki"] Check this.)
Count: Those eyes are like being reflected in amethyst... His beautiful hair is soaked in pitch-black... The times I've seen your body, I always imagine wicked things——
{sound f/x kiriri: Tsuzuki glowing in the Count's eyes}
([pointing to the super-bishounen picture of Tsuzuki] The Count sees him like this.)
Count: Surely, you're a work of art made by a god, you are...
The Count starts drooling and laughing while Tsuzuki shivers.
Count: Aaah~~!! I want to just eat him up right here~!!! [laughing]
{sound f/x nya: Count leering}
(Suddenly it's dangerous even out in the open.)
{sound f/x biku: Tsuzuki twitching}
Tsuzuki: [sweating horribly] ...... (T-this chill is...)
The Count starts waving Tsuzuki over his way.
Count: Tsuzuki~! (C'mere, c'mere)
Tsuzuki: [staring at the Count, blushing] ——... What're you doing!! (I'm concentrating on the tournament~)
Count: Actually, I'm betting three mouths on Enma-chou.
(How much is one mouth worth... That's a mystery.)
Tsuzuki: WHAAT~!!?
Count: Because it's my motto to not talk about my losses. SO YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST WIN!!!
Tsuzuki completely shocked by the Count's.
Tsuzuki: (This development is maybe, perhaps...)
Count: OTHERWISE... ([sobbing] You understand, right?)
(That's unbelievable, Tsuzuki-kun.)
Count: Even today, I have to borrow for the provision allowance lump payment for the bill up until now!!! (I wrote up the division and the loan!)
(Provision allowance --> In other words, paying with your body...)
Tsuzuki: HUH——!!?
The Count suddenly leeches onto Tsuzuki.
Count: But if you lose, that's okay too, Tsuzuki... Because tonight I'll love you with my real body. (WE won't sleep tonight~)
{sound f/x hi: Tsuzuki shrieking}
Tsuzuki: NO~~~~~~O~~!!!
{sound f/x zo: Tsuzuki getting the willies}
Hanako: (Isn't the Count an invisible man?)
Tsukiko: (Who knows...)
Tsuzuki continues to fend off the Count in the background as Hisoka and Terazuma ignore him.
Tsuzuki: (HELP MEEE~~~~ TERAZUMA~~~ HISOKA~~~ AHH~~~~)
Terazuma: Well, let's do our best, boy.
(IGNORE)
{sound f/x sutasuta: briskly}
Hisoka: I'll do my best, Terazuma-san. (That's all fine, but, stop calling me "boy.")
{sound f/x zawa: rustle of wind through the leaves}
Voice: A~ he's here, he's here! Hajime-cha——n!!
Terazuma goes SD as a cute teenaged girl in a sailor school uniform steps forward, waving. She's got long light colored hair, pulled back at the sides only with long ribbons.
Terazuma: (ACK) Kannuki~!!
Kannuki: Your cheering section is here——~!
Hisoka: ...Who is that woman?
Tsuzuki comes struggling along on the floor, still trying to loosen the Count (though he can't be seen, of course).
{sound f/x zuru: dragging something heavy}
{sound f/x zeehaa: Tsuzuki wheezing & panting}
(Trying to escape from the Count.)
Tsuzuki: In charge of the Fourth Area, Kannuki Wakaba. She's Terazuma's partner.
Tsuzuki manages to get away and sits up, wiping sweat from his forehead.
Tsuzuki: Terazuma, he really hates women, but... He and Wakaba-chan have a fate that they can't let go of. (Is it pitiful or envious...)
Hisoka: ...What does that mean?
Tsuzuki: Well... You'll understand.
Hisoka: [sweatdrop] ?
The referee, an older man dressed in traditional robes, steps forward to begin the match.
Gushoushin: With the referee's signal, the match begins!
Referee: Begin!!
Gushoushin: First up for Enma-chou's side is player Terazuma! He's earned a reputation as a marksman since countless Enma-chou victories in the past have been lead by him. Perhaps their tactic is for him to gain their points?
Terazuma takes aim and fires.
Gushoushin: Ohh—! That right now was for top points!
{sound f/x bishu: swish}
Gushoushin: Player Terazuma very easily shot down the most difficult, valuable ball!!!
Yukiko muses evilly to herself and grabs for her bow tightly.
Yukiko: ...... That is to be expected from you, Terazuma-san... But victory will be ours!!!
{sound f/x ga: snatching the bow}
Gushoushin: Continuing is Soutei-chou's side with the Kanawa Sisters. Player Terazuma's eternal rival!! It's Lady Yukiko!!!
Tsukiko and Hanako cheer in the background.
{sound f/x kya: the sisters cheering}
Hanako: (Yuki-chan, go for it~~~~!!!)
Gushoushin: O~h~!! This is another high pointer!!! Soutei-chou and Enma-chou aren't holding back an inch!
{sound f/x zasu: slash}
{sound f/x waa: cheers}
Terazuma: We're still okay now, but we've hit the second round so those guys will use their cowardly tricks. Use plenty of caution.
Strategy Meeting.
Hisoka: Right.
Terazuma: Okay, and after this, it'll be our strategy for Kurosaki and I to work for the points so that Tsuzuki can shoot for a safe place again.
Gushoushin: For both teams, the first round is over, so the second round will begin. Gradually, balls with the command letters inside of them will come out, but where...? Second round. Player Terazuma. Where will he aim at next!?
As Terazuma aims, Hanako runs up and genkily puts her hands on his chest.
Hanako: Terazuma-san. Love you~!
{sound f/x pito: gentle touch}
On the sidelines, Watari, Kannuki, and Tatsumi gasp.
All: (Ah...) This is bad...
Terazuma starts screaming and trying to back away.
{sound f/x ba: Terazuma's sudden outraged reaction}
Terazuma: UWAAAA~ DON'T TOUCH MEE~~!!!!
Hanako: (Ah, mean.)
([pointing to the bow at Terazuma's side] Bow.)
Gushoushin: Oh! What a sudden accident!!
A randomly shot arrow wiggles where it's been accidentally shot.
{sound f/x hero: the limp arrow waving}
([pointing to the arrow] At once, the flying object flew.)
Gushoushin: Player Terazuma, this is a painful mistake———!!
{sound f/x pote: a ball softly dropping to the ground}
Yukiko: (Hmph) Good job, Hana-chan. Terazuma's weakness, it's——women!!!
Tsuzuki: That's right.
{sound f/x nyari: Tsuzuki leering}
Tsuzuki: (Did they see it? Did they hear it? Those women.) This is Terazuma's secret~.
(This manga is so idiotic... [sweatdrop]) [Matsushita-sensei's actually comment, NOT me...]
Terazuma, in giant monstrous, well, monster form stomps around destroying things, sending Watson and Gushoushin flying.
{sound f/x mao: monster Terazuma's roar}
{sound f/x dokan: impact}
Tsuzuki: Whe a woman touches him, he transforms into a monster. (That guy.)
{sound f/x hi wa kya: shrieks and cries from the trampled audience}
{sound f/x gata: Hisoka facefaulting over}
Hisoka: ......
(Kagankokushungei. A red eyed, black lion)
Kannuki leaps up and slaps a ward on Terazuma's forehead.
Kannuki: Tei~!!
{sound f/x ben: slap}
Monster Terazuma slowly shrivels into normal Terazuma.
{sound f/x pusharu: Terazuma deflating}
Terazuma, with a ward still stuck to his head, pulls his robes together as he sweats, heavily.
{sound f/x goso: rustle of Terazuma's robes}
Terazuma: S... Saved me, Kannuki...
{sound f/x zeehaa: wheeze, pant}
Kannuki: (Are you listening Hajime-chan?) Next time you transform, you'll stay that way for an hour. (Because it takes time for the power to charge, so you can't turn back.)
Hisoka: ......Ah I get it...
Idiot?
Hisoka: It's Kannuki-san's job to change Terazuma-san back to normal before he runs around wild. (That's why they're inseperable.)
Gushoushin: [reading a letter] (Huh—) Well it appears there was a command letter inside of this ball just now... Ooh~! What is this!!! "GIVE SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM A HOOOOOOOOOT KISS!" is what it says!!!
Terazuma facefaults over.
([arrow to feet] Terazuma.)
(beeze (French) = kiss) [Sensei used a French word for "to kiss"-- "baiser"]
Terazuma: [blushing] ho~ho~... HOLD ON A MINUTE——~!!!
Gushoushin: (Our man's an idiot!!!) If you pass we'll give you a demerit.
The Count begins screaming at Terazuma while Watson tries calming him. Terazuma's too busy struggling with himself to notice much.
Count: (Hey you— Terazuma——~ Do that kind of thing to my Tsuzuki and I won't forgive you——~ You got that—~)
Watson: (Now, now.)
Panic!!
Terazuma: [sweating horribly] ———... ~~~~~~~ (u—m we—ll hu—h) ~~~~~~~!!! (A———H) IT'S NO USE! YOU THEN~!!
Hisoka blinks in shock. Terazuma's pointing straight to him.
Hisoka: ......
{sound f/x bishi: Terazuma whipping around to Hisoka}
(Blankly.)
Hisoka: Huh...? (Me...?)
Everyone looks entirely shocked.
Tsuzuki: (Ack) Wha...!!
{sound f/x gagan: everyone's horrified reactions}
Kannuki: (Huh?)
([pointing to Watari's cracked glasses flying away] The glasses are blown off, too.)
{sound f/x kaku: Tatsumi's understated facefault}
Tatsumi: [blinking confused] (Oh, my.)
The three sisters start screaming at Terazuma in horror.
Sisters: (AHHH—~!) You cannot do it, Terazuma-san!! Just because women are no good you're going to try ho-ho...homosexuality? (And a child, nonetheless!!) (Noo~) Pervert!! Criminal~~!!! (Filthy~~!!!)
Terazuma: [blushing] SHUT UP!!! (In the first place, who's fault do you think this is~? ...and speaking of that who the hell made up a rule like this?)
Terazuma grabs a still confused Hisoka and starts preparing himself for the kiss. Tsuzuki fumes in the background.
Terazuma: That's right! Hajime, compared to Tsuzuki, this Boy here is much better!!! You can endure!! Everything for victory! For the sake of victory~!!!
{sound f/x gashi: Hajime grabbing Hisoka}
Terazuma: If I just think of him as a flat-chested, immature woman than I can do this!!!
(Said too much.)
Tsuzuki: (Hey———~ How come Hisoka's okay and I'm not—~? Explain Terazuma! WHY~~~~!!!)
(It's because their relationship is bad, isn't it...)
Terazuma stares at Hisoka and catalogues his features.
Terazuma: It's a woman and...
Small pretty face.
Slender shoulders.
White skin.
Slender hips.
([pointing to Hisoka] Now I'll place you here. He can't understand the situation.)
Terazuma facefaults, blushing.
Terazuma: A woman———~!
{sound f/x zoku: Terazuma's chills}
{sound f/x hi: Terazuma shrieking}
{sound f/x pu: Terazuma puffing and hyperventilating}
([pointing to Terazuma's arm] Hives.)
Terazuma goes storming off as he transforms into his monster form.
Terazuma: UWA———~~!!
{sound f/x angya: giant scream}
{sound f/x do: heavy footsteps}
Terazuma: I KNEW IT, I CAN'T DO IT—~~!!!
(Can you do that softly...)
Hisoka: (......)
Tsuzuki: (Aah~) Bastard... Hold up Terazuma——~~!! Don't run away you coward——~~!!
Referee: Enma-chou, 100 point deduction.
On the sidelines, Watari and Kannuki are sweating over Terazuma's sudden disappearance. Tatsumi simply crosses his arms seriously.
Watari: Ah...
{sound f/x gaku: Watari shaking with tears}
Watari: [sobbing] After all that, it's like this...
Kannuki: Hajime-chan... (With a man but he still transforms, that's the lowest...)
Tatsumi: ......
{sound f/x haa: everyone heaving a sigh}
Tatsumi: (Hmph.) Do you have no spirit...
{sound f/x boso: Tatsumi muttering to himself}
Watari: (...)
In the background, Monster Terazuma is ramaging as tiny stick figure people go flying.
{sound f/x dokan: impact}
{sound f/x kya wa: cries}
Referee: Hoanka employees to the front. Capture him at once!!! [Hoanka is the "Security Department."]
Voice: This is bad...
Gushoushin: Well, the situation on Enma-chou's side has become serious!! Player Terazuma withdrew from the front for an hour. And during that time, Soutei-chou's intensly fierce attack has continued!!
Voice: What should we do... We've got a reversal!!
Masked helpers point to the scoreboard. Enma-chou's side has 200 points. Soutei-chou's side has X15 points.
(Dangerous~~)
Yukiko: Already, we've reached our victory. Please give up and surrender, Tsuzuki-san. [laughing]
The Count glitters amongst beautiful flowers as he holds his gloves open.
Count: [reaching out to Tsuzuki] That's right, Tsuzuki. Give up. Come and fly into my heart~! [chuckling evilly] (Patience baby...)
([pointing to the flowers Watson is flinging for the Count] Efficiency.)
Tsuzuki: NO WAY!!!
{sound f/x kii: Watari squealing}
Watari: Tsuzuki———~ If you give up, I'll never speak to you again——~!!!
003: (Now, now.)
{sound f/x yoro: Hisoka staggering}
Hisoka: Them and him, too...
([pointing to Hisoka] Already dizzy.)
Voice: This is all your fault... Tsuzuki.
Terazuma sits panting on the floor of the dojo.
Terazuma: ......
{sound f/x zeehaa: wheezing and panting}
Terazuma: It's because your arm's too horrible arm that this happened.
(At last, he's back to normal.)
(Then he put his clothes on super quickly.)
Tsuzuki: What did you say! You're the one with that annoying body of yours!!
{sound f/x gaa: dramatic fighting background}
Terazuma: What's that!!?
(Child's fight.)
The two continue arguing loudly as Hisoka merely watches them.
Gushoushin: Oh! Enma-chou's side is divided!!
{sound f/x gyaa: the two still yelling at each other}
Gushoushin: I suppose this year you'll just hand the win over to Soutei-chou, won't you Enma-chou~!!?
Hisoka watches the two a little longer before turning away.
Hisoka: ——... Referee. I'll go next.
Hisoka concentrates on the target, blocking out everything else.
Hisoka: Those guys don't have any hopes left. If I can do it...
In a close up, a string starts to fray.
{sound f/x mishi: the string creaking}
Hisoka: If I...
{sound f/x butsu: large snap}
{sound f/x bi: whipping noises}
The string on Hisoka's bow snaps, flying everywhere at once and sending Hisoka to his knees.
Hisoka: Ah...~!!!
The Enma-chou gang watches in shock.
Terazuma & Tsuzuki: Hisoka!!?
Watari: !!
The three sisters watch the events dispassionately. One of them smirks.
{sound f/x nyari: leer}
Gushoushin: Ohh!! Trouble breaking out in Enma-chou——!!? It appears that player Kurosaki's bow string snapped.
{sound f/x zawa: rustling of shock from the crowd}
Terazuma and Tsuzuki go running over to check on Hisoka.
Hisoka: ...~
Tsuzuki: Hisoka...!! Are you all right~!!?
Hisoka: No good. I twisted my wrist...
Terazuma inspects the snapped string.
Terazuma: Somebody worked on the bowstring. It was cut... Look at this closely. You can faintly see the remains of a flaw cut with a sharp tool. This is not a natural cut.
(Hajime-chan's eyesight is about 3 times that of a normal person.)
Hisoka: [clutching his wrist] (...)
{sound f/x ba: sudden impact}
Terazuma: Dammit!! Those women...~!!!
Hisoka: Please calm down, Terazuma-san!! You don't have any proof that the Kanawa Three Sisters did it. If trouble come up between you and Soutei-chou, you'll be playing into their hands.
Terazuma: ——~... bu...but...!!
Hisoka: I'm not interested in Enma-chou's victory... I want to see someone win the championship because of real ability.
Hisoka begins yelling, still clutching his wounded wrist.
Hisoka: But still~ For those guys win over us with such cowardly methods... I can't forgive that...!! I absolutely can't forgive...~!!!
Tsuzuki: Hisoka...
Tsuzuki watches Hisoka for a while before seeming to come to a decision.
{sound f/x gyu: Tsuzuki coming to his decision}
Tsuzuki: Referee! Kurosaki is injured, so I'll go in his place!!
Referee: Permission granted. Player Tsuzuki, come forward.
Terazuma immediately panics and steps forward.
Terazuma: Don't do it, Tsuzuki!! If you go out there then I'll...!! (This is our last chance~!)
{sound f/x jiro: Tsuzuki's hard stare}
Tsuzuki: You can't do it. Maybe in the middle you'll turn into that again.
Terazuma's taken aback, a bit embarrassed.
{sound f/x gu: Terazuma's embarrassed noise}
Terazuma: ——...!!
Tsuzuki: So only I can get the mark that the three sisters didn't get.
Tsuzuki puts his hand on Hisoka's shoulder in glowing comfort.
Tsuzuki: Don't worry... Because I'll definitely get your revenge for you... Watch over there, Hisoka.
Hisoka: ...Tsuzuki...
{sound f/x waaa: loud cheering}
Gushoushin: Now then! This last third round will decide the victory or defeat!! The substitute for the injured Player Kurosaki, Player Tsuzuki. At the last can he shoot his way to a splendid victory!!
Hisoka: ......
Hanako: Yuki-chan... I wonder if this is okay. Tsuzuki-san is usually a bunkler, but that's the Shoukanka's veteran...
Tsukiko: That's right... You shouldn't underestimate him.
Yukiko: You worry too much, Tsuki-chan, Hana-chan. Certainly that person is a master class summoner with his arm, but that doesn't mean that he's a martial artist. Definitely, it's a decided miss.
Tsuzuki concentrates hard as he aims for the last target.
Voice: ——~!!
{sound f/x pari: crackle of energy}
Energy crackles over someone's wrist. Terazuma watches seriously as Tsuzuki takes aim.
Voice: It's an intense spirit... Until the unification with the mind reached its apex... Aim for the prize, the eye of the beast...
Tatsumi and Watari calmly watch the match.
Tatsumi: It's over, isn't it. This match.
Watari: Ah, looks like it.
Tsuzuki fires.
{sound f/x bishu: whip}
Gushoushin: He did it——!! It's a last minute turn around——~~!!!
The crowd goes wild, cheering loudly, as the final ball falls off of its perch.
{sound f/x waa: cheering}
Gushoushin: Enma-chou gets the championship for the 16th year in a row~~~~~!!!
Tsuzuki smile genkily at Hisoka. Hisoka stares back.
{sound f/x ni: grin}
Terazuma immediately begins yelling at Tsuzuki as Watari and Tatsumi sweatdrop.
Terazuma: You just couldn't have this power of concentration from the beginning, could you! This kind of thing wouldn't have happened, idiot!!
{sound f/x gya: Terazuma and Tsuzuki yelling at each other again}
Tsuzuki: (What—~!!!) What did you——!! This from the transforming man~!!!
Yukiko: (Hmph...) We lost, Tsuzuki-san. Congratulations on your splendid win.
Tsuzuki: Kanawa-san.
Yukiko: We have also reflected on it. We shall have to polish our own arms further.
Tsuzuki: (Yup.) That's right. You've got to win the victory fair and square.
Yukiko: This year our methods were too half-hearted. (It was me who did it. [blush])
Tsuzuki: ...HUH? (Half-hearted...?)
Yukiko: Next year as well, we will again polish our technique of cheating—— (Hm.) We will smash Enma-chou~!!!
The Kanawa Sisters laugh as they bound away, Tsuzuki yelling after them. Terazuma and Hisoka simply sweatdrop.
Tsukiko: Well then, this is farewell——~!!
Hanako: (Bye bye Terazuma-san!)
Yukiko: (Until we meet again next year!)
{sound f/x hohohoho: laughter}
Tsuzuki: (Hold on! You wait just a minute—! You didn't reflect at a—ll!!!)
Terazuma: Next year...
(Disheartened.)
Hisoka: We'll meet those guys again next year... (Those guys look like ghosts...)
And so——— With Enma-chou's 16 years of continuous victory, the curtain on this year's martial arts tournament draws to a close.
In the Shoukanka offices, things are, pretty much, back to normal.
Tatsumi: It seems as if the chief's return will be in about one more week. Until that time, I will be in the position of being the substitute chef......
Hisoka bows while Tsuzuki cheers him on.
{sound f/x peko: Hisoka's bow}
Hisoka: Thank you very much.
Tsuzuki: Go for it, Tatsumi. Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna use up all my pay.
Tatsumi: [calmly reading papers] What are you talking about, Tsuzuki-san. You're not getting paid vacation.
Tsuzuki: HUH~!?
Tatsumi: You're still paying off the cost of repairs from that time you destroyed the government offices before. And there's still much much MUCH!!! more remaining. (This year we'll work like a horse pulling a carriage.)
Tsuzuki looks ready to burst into tears.
Tsuzuki: N...No way~!! (Mean~ This is abuse of authority~!)
Tatsumi: .........Tsuzuki-san.
Tatsumi gives Tsuzuki a rather evil look.
Tatsumi: If you have any complaints about my methods... Is that okay?
{sound f/x nikkori: Tatsumi's evil smile}
Tatsumi: You can stop at any time.
(Little bully.)
Tsuzuki tries to hold back the tears as Hisoka, Watari, and Terazuma whisper amongst themselves.
Tsuzuki: [shriek]
(Already starting weeping.)
Hisoka: (Tatsumi-san, he's pretty strict isn't he.)
{sound f/x hisohiso: the others whispering}
Watari: (That guy, huh— He's the shadow that settles things in the Shoukanka.)
Terazuma: (He's stronger than the chief.)
Tsuzuki: (WAAA—) (yo~...) YOU'RE MEAN, TATSUMI~!!! OGRE~! DEVIL~~[sob]!!!
Tatsumi: ...How about I confiscate your fugu, too, Tsuzuki-san...
Tsuzuki: [sweatdropping] A~...
Hisoka: (Baka...)
The day that Tatsumi takes over the Shoukanka is also close......Maybe.
