Ah, hey, Master! Shuri-chan!
Master, Shuri-oneechan, hello. (Yup, and here we have reached the point where Riri is here again)
Kazuto: Hi, Riri-chan. You were playing with Touka?
Yeah!
Even the ruler of this country, Touka, has free days. Of course, she's stuck at the castle and it's called being off-duty.
How's it going with Master and Shuri-chan? (I could misunderstand that phrase)
Yes. We've finally finished, so decided to drink some tea... (A nice idea. I'll do so myself when it cools down a bit)
Then you can do it here. Shion-san is preparing tea right now.
Kazuto: Is it okay?
It's more fun to drink with everyone, right, Riri-chan?
Yeah!
My, my. So Master and Shuri-chan are here too.
Kazuto: Ah, sorry, Shion.
I don't mind. I expected someone to come, so I brought more cups and snacks.
As expected of Shion-san.
Ah... how refreshing. (Ikr. It's a tea, after all. PRAISE THE TEA!)
Kazuto: Right. Shion's tea is as tasty as always.
Heh. Thank you for your praise. (I'm not praising you, I'm pra... oh, you meant Kazuto...)
The cake seems to be homemade as well. The moderate bitterness of the tea and a very sweet cake to contrast that.
Kazuto: Come to think of it, you were looking really excited with Touka just now, so what were you playing, Riri-chan?
You see, we were playing Kachou Kamen!
My, my, are you okay, Shuri-chan? (She just took a critical hit from Riri)
Shion was sitting next to her and wiped her mouth. She sure is used to it.
...I'm okay...
Beautiful butterfly defeats evil! Kachou Kamen has descended! (I expect someone like Aisha to come running, asking "Where!?")
Kazuto: Oh, well done. Is Kachou Kamen that popular?
Huh? Master, you don't know? Everyone in the city knows.
Kazuto: No, I know, but for her to be so popular...
I had reports she defeated several bandits... But I was busy with politics lately and barely went outside to the city.
Actually, it's kinda bad I don't know the whole situation.
It seems she has allies lately. If I remember correctly, Butterfly Alliance consisting of three of them.
Kazuto: Hey, Shuri, are you really okay? (Doing fine there, Ake Kachou?)
I, I'm okay... ugh...
Here, Shuri-chan. Want some tea refill?
Yes. I'll have it...
It's serious!
What's wrong, Rinrin-chan?
Kazuto: Did the enemy army arrive or something?
No. Butterfly mask has appeared at the city!
Kazuto: ...It's nothing urgent then.
Umm... I just thought Onee-chan and Riri might want to watch them.
Ah, I do, I do!
Come on, mother. Can I go watch?
Right... come to think of it, mother haven't seen them yet. (You're on the facepalming side, so expect some wtf)
Kazuto: Then, let us all go...
Ah, umm, Master. We still have work...
It's okay, Shuri-chan. I'll help when we return. Let's go together! Okay? (One does not simply escape. But... where's Hinari?)
Touka-sama...
Then it's decided! Let us all go watch! (You're not in aggro mode anymore, Rinrin?)
Kazuto: ...Huh? Didn't Rinrin say she wanted to defeat Kachou Kamen?
And I remember having to join Rinrin's training several times thanks to that...
Umm... well, she's mostly punishing bad guys lately, so I'll forgive her.
Kazuto: Whew... (Too early. Aisha's still left)
Well, it's good that they don't fight. Yeah.
As we were brought to the city by Rinrin, we saw a huge crowd there. I guess there's no need to search for where they are.
Kazuto: It seems we should just go with the crowd.
It seems someone from the crowd pushed her. I grab her in a hurry, but... damn, it seems the culprit has escaped.
Riri-chan, are you okay?
Yeah. Thank you, Touka-oneechan, Onii-chan. (Onii-chan? That's new. Did script-writer forget how she calls him?)
Riri, it's dangerous, so let's hold hands with mother.
Yes.
Kazuto: ...It sure is a strange crowd.
That's true.
From this gathering that you'd see at the festivals, Shuri looks worried. The only difference is this is a spontaneous crowd... so it's unorganized.
Kazuto: Oh, there they are.
As we walked through the crowd, we heard sound of weapons clashing. As I stretched to look, I saw ruffians and two girls fighting.
It seems there are two of them today.
Kazuto: ...Rinrin, watch Touka so she doesn't go there in excitement.
Understood!
Well, Sei will manage such ruffians. No point for Rinrin to go. (Shut up and start the epicness)
When the lotus of evil blossoms, a buttefly of justice appears! To protect the frail flower, a Butterfly Alliance.
...Has.
Arrived! (You realize your last phrase about flowers contradicts itself?)
Ruffian A: You! As ridiculously dressed as always! Go get them! (Oh, I forgot about you three. Kazuto isn't the only one with face...)
Ruffian B: Yeah!
Yellow mask and red mask. As they introduced themselves as Kachou Kamen, a fierce battle has started.
...Umm, Master. (Even Shion is fazed)
Kazuto: Yeah. You don't need to say it, Shion.
...Ah, so you've noticed.
Oh! There, do your best!
Go! Ah, that was close! (Rinrin has joined Kachou Kamen's fangirls now...)
In contrast with amazed Shion, Touka and Rinrin were heated up. Not to mention forget holding back Touka, Rinrin was about to go out too...
Kazuto: Wait, there's no reason for Rinrin to go!
...And it seems there are some who didn't notice.
Kazuto: ...Yeah.
I'm worried sometimes if I can really rely on them for this country's peace.
Well, there's no harm outside here... it's okay... probably... I'm sure.
Kazuto: Still, the second one is Ren, huh. Third one... what's wrong, Shuri?
N, nothing...
Even if you say so while hiding behind me...
Damn. They keep coming no matter how many you defeat...!
Ruffian A: Damnit!
...*yawn*
Kazuto: ...Still, it seems as if they're getting pushed, no?
They are not making any fatal mistakes... but it seems as if Kachou Kamens are losing to the ruffians. And Ren or Sei alone should've won in an instant.
Rather than struggling, it seems they're drawing the opponent.
Kazuto: Yeah. After all, this is the cliche thing...
Kazuto: Cliche? Is it some kind of a strategy?
Ah, she came here!
Launched by a large thug, yellow Kachou Kamen lands before us with no problem. But she makes it look as if she took some knee damage.
Kazuto: Hey, are you okay...?
As I try to approach, Kachou Kamen looks at Shuri.
Ruffian B: Now, get them!
Rinrin-chan!
Yeah! Rinrin will be your opponent! (Rinrin, Ren AND Sei... there's no kill like overkill?)
On Touka's order, Rinrin stands before ruffian who went for yellow Kachou Kamen!
Umm, that's...
...Third shelf at the top of the cupboard.
...What?
Eh... heh. That trick won't work on me anymore!
I see. Come to think of it, you moved it under the bed... left corner, was it?
...Well then, we'll be waiting!
Are you okay, Kachou Kamen!?
It seems I worried you. But, I'm okay! Let's go, villians!
Kazuto: ...Umm. In other words, you got involved, Shuri.
That's why she didn't want to come.
...Stuff happened, Master. (It's your fault for hiding so much *** books)
Kazuto: Don't worry. Girls are more beautiful when they have a secret... it seems.
Hau... Even if you say that here, it won't make me happy.
Here, Riri, let us cheer for Kachou Kamen too. (Is she taking Riri's attention from Shuri?)
Yeah! Kachou Kamen-san, do your best!
Kazuto: ...Shion is being considerate, so use your chance.
Hiding it from everyone, looking at the great battle before them, Shuri takes out a blue Kachou mask hidden in her pocket.
Well then!
...Sleepy. (Well, she only wanted the mask to begin with)
Do it, there! Go at once!
Aah, really, Rinrin also wants to fight!
Kachou Kamen-san, do your best!
Kachou Kamen side has regained initiative a bit and were slowly pushing the enemy back. I'd hope for some kind of outcome already.
S, sorry for the wait... (It doesn't suit you completely)
The moment I thought of that, I saw Shuri wearing blue mask on the roof...! (Hmm... wait, isn't that Chousen's mask? Take it off, Shuri!)
Right! You're late, Ake Kachou!
Ugh... Hoshi Kachou-san, sorry for the wait. (Hoshi Kachou sanjou!)
Oh, the third one is finally here!
Koi Kachou, return!
...I'm hungry. (Ren doesn't give a single care)
I'll treat you later!
...(nod) (No this looks extremely bizzare)
Under yellow Kachou Kamen's orders, red Kachou Kamen, that was fighting the ruffians returns to the roof.
U, umm...
They'll notice, unless you do it proudly, okay?
Let's go!
Heavens know, gods know, I know, children know!
Where the lotus of evil blooms, butterflies of justice appear!
Ake Kachou!
And Koi Kachou!
Hoshi Kachou! (Now do a combo and stand on their face. Love that finishing move)
To protect the frail flower! (The lotus of evil? Why?)
The trio of Kachou Alliance gathers. (That intro sucks, well, that's to be expected)
...Has just.
Arrived! (Lagging Ren)
Kazuto: Whoa. That sure was a pointlessly motivated yell. (Orly? Did Ren or Shuri look motivated to you?)
Did something even explode just now...? Seriously, I hope the roof is okay.
Master, isn't that a gunpower, new weapon made in a workshop? (Hmm, new weapon... I wish they'd use gunpowder for battle at least once...)
Kazuto: ...Hey, hey. Spare me that.
Just how serious are they. (They? It's only Sei)
...I have returned. (Yup, no way Shuri'd be fighting)
Kazuto: Eh? Shuri, you're not fighting? (Fighting? Shuri? Are you crazy, Kazuto?)
Umm... I'm in charge of introductions. When the battle is over, I'll have to go there again though.
Kazuto: ...You have it hard.
Well, the fight after introduction was quite one-sided. I guess that struggle earlier was just for a cliche. Though I don't know why Sei knows it.
And, Master...
Kazuto: Yeah. Shion, you too pretend you didn't see it.
Yes, that's my intention.
Hawawa. Thank you...
Do your best! Good, there!
Huh? Ake Kachou disappeared again. She's a Kachou Kamen, but she doesn't fight, what a failure.
Well, Hoshi Kachou and Koi Kachou are working hard for her, so it's okay. Ah, watch out!
Kazuto: Well, Shuri is a strategist, you don't fight on frontlines, right...? (Touka, Tanpopo and Sui would've been perfect Kachou Kamens...)
I know that, but... (Well, "Touka" was even wearing that mask in the anime at one point...)
Shuri seems to be worried about being unable to be on the frontlines. Touka and Rinrin don't blame her, but Kachou Kamen is a different story...
Ah, it seems to be over already. (Well, it's Sei and Ren. They can bulldose this whole city)
...Sigh, well then, I'll be going again.
Kazuto: Sure. Do your best.
Ugh. Shuri's eyes look really dead... Don't give up, Shuri. It'll all be fine.
Heh. You're the only one left, what will you do?
Ruffian A: Damn it... here goes nothing! Doryaaa!
Admirable resolve to not abandon friend! Koi Kachou, Ake Kachou! We'll use our ougi!
Oh! Special move!
I've been waiting!
Hey, hey, they even have a special attack. Choun-san, just how serious you are on this stage.
Let's go!
...I'm hungry.
As I said, I'll buy you a meal later!
...Large portion.
I understand!
...Can I have an egg too?
Ruffian A: Deeeeeeeeeeeei!
He's already here!
Order all you want! (Your wallet is screwed, Sei)
...Yay.
It seems they argued about something, but as the ruffian approached, the three take their poses perfectly.
Ruffian A: Deeei! (Oh, it's you? I thought it was the small one)
Let's go, ultimate attack! Trinity as one!
Saying that, Hoshi Kachou runs towards the enemy. Readies her spear... (You can also translate Hoshi Kachou as Sei Kachou. And Sei as Hoshi)
Kachou! Wind! Moon! Slash! (I'd prefer Sword Impulse... oh, we're not playing Feda?)
She smashes her opponent with a spear.
Ruffian A: Guh!
...Don't worry. I used the back side. (Of a spear? Does it even have a back side?)
The last one collapses. Eh...? Trinity...? Actually, Se...?
Justice wins! (Aku wa horobiru!)
...Well, that's fine too. They are doing the victory pose together. And the audience is applauding too.
Spectator: Kachou Kamen! The guards are here!
Right, well then, excuse us!
The guards are finally here... they're late, did something else happen?
Kazuto: ...I bet we'll get scolded if they notice us, so let's go back.
Right. Aisha-chan seems to hate Kachou Kamen.
Hey, Onii-chan. Shuri's not here.
...S, sorry.
Really. Where did you go? We were worried, okay?
I got a bit seperated...
She sure has it hard, that secret hero.
Kazuto: Well, we've met safely, so it's okay. Let's get away from here before Aisha-tachi notices us.
Still, they were cool!
They sure are strong, Kachou Kamens. It'd be reassuring if such people became our allies.
Kazuto: ...Well, you can count such people in this country with the fingers of only one hand, I guess.
No way. The strong ones here are Rinrin, Aisha, Shion, Ren, Sei... who else should I mention...
My, my, the five fingers have already ended.
And two of those five are in those Kachou Kamens... should I say it.
Ah, speak of a devil... Hey, Sei-chan!
At the direction where Touka waved, Sei and Ren were sitting at the table.
Oh, if it isn't Mylord. Are you all shopping?
Kazuto: Something like that. Sei and Ren... eating?
There's no response. It's just a glutton. (Another Dragon Quest reference? Nice one)
Well, something like that.
...Refills.
Order if you want. But, ask Shuri or Mylord to pay from here.
Kazuto: Wha!
Sei-san!
...Refills.
Ugh. Don't look at me like that...
Kazuto: ...Fine. Eat all you want.
Say, can Rinrin eat as well? (Goodbye again, Kazuto's wallet)
Kazuto: Rinrin... ah, everyone, eat all you want!
Yay!
Master, will it be okay? (No, I doubt it)
Kazuto: It won't be okay, but that's okay!
It can't be helped at this rate. [Goodbye forever], my pocket money. (Heh, we thought of the same thing I see. Highfive, Kazuto)
Yay. Riri wants to eat shuumai.
Then, Riri, let's share half of it with mother. (At least Shion had mercy on his wallet)
Yes!
I'm thankful for Shion's consideration, limiting it with one plate of shuumai.
Then, Rinrin will have cha shuumen! And Riri's share is big serving! (And Rinrin does a finishing blow to it)
What should I do... ah, nikuman looks delicious! (As if Ren alone wasn't capable of killing his wallet)
And there are people who eat that single plate with no mercy!
...I'll pay for half of it, Master. (I knew you're a good girl, Shuri)
Kazuto: ...Shuri's the only one who'd say that.
Right. We came to see Kachou Kamens.
Oh. Those famous Kachou Kamens, huh. (Kazuto, you can also blackmail Sei into paying)
Yeah. They were really strong, but me and Rinrin-chan helped them fight today too.
I see. I'm sure Kachou Kamen is also thankful for that.
I hope so...
They're talking about Kachou Kamens there...
Kazuto: Say, Ren.
Kazuto: Ren also joined Sei, huh. I didn't know that.
...Butterfly.
Kazuto: Yeah. You liked that mask.
...And they feed me.
Kazuto: ...Don't you know you made them do that? (She says it as if castle doesn't feed her)
She tilts her head. She doesn't realize that... that true demon.
Kazuto: Well, whatever. Want an anman?
...(nod, nod)
Ren instantly nodded and took a bite of anman I was holding. Ah really, her eating style is as cute as ever.
Ah, there they are. Hi, Master!
Kazuto: Huh? Sui. And Aisha too.
Yes. We heard report Master-tachi were noticed in the town and thought what if...
Kazuto: What's wrong? Did you come to feed Ren?
Oh, Ren's with you. Here, Ren, this shuumai is tasty too... how's it? (Now that was easy. Aisha got instantly distracted)
Hey, Aisha, let me do it too. Here, Ren. This manju is nice too. (Et tu, Sui. Well, I guess noone can resist Ren's eating)
Ah, you eat with appetite as always...
...Not that! Master. That butterfly mask has appeared again. (Oh, you're quite resistant. But why the crisis bgm?)
Kazuto: Seems so.
That means the soldiers we her of earlier were Sui-tachi's. I guess we should keep quiet that we were there then.
Hmm? Is there a problem? (And here comes someone who won't keep quiet)
There is!
Well, they beat up the bad guys. I'm sure they're Rinrin-tachi's allies. (There is a problem, even if they are. I think this is where it's brought up)
Aisha, stop admiring Ren and say something!
Here, will you eat this one too...?
...(nod, nod)
Aisha!
...Ah. Right... Kachou Kamen might be an ally, but she's not an official guard, right? Letting them act as they please will affect guards' morale.
...It'll be okay, because we have Kachou Kamen, it'll lead to that way of thinking.
Ah...
Civilians will also keep relying on Kachou Kamen and will despise us guards. Like, today we reported of them appearing right before they disappeared!
And the road was blocked because they suddenly appeared. The merchants were complaining too.
Come to think of it, Riri almost got hurt because of that crowd...
I won't forgive them the next time I see them. I'll tie them up along with the ruffians and lecture for them to stop such behaviour!
...Well, that's how it is. Let's stop that talk for now... Why is everyone eating such a feast! Let us join!
We're lunching because it's Onii-chan's treat! Say, can Aisha and Sui will join too, Onii-chan?
Kazuto: Sure! Here goes nothing, eat all you want! (Nice attitude. Something a kamikaze would have)
Hello, loans! [Goodbye forever] my pocket money from next month as well!
Oh! How generous! Ah, hey, Rinrin, share with me too!
I look at Sui and Rinrin fighting for food and Aisha feeding Ren. Then I sit down next to Sei.
Kazuto: ...You heard them.
...What?
She's still pretending to not know anything.
Kazuto: It means there's more than one justice.
Kachou Kamen wants to teach everyone about justice... is what I think. And, it doesn't mean Aisha's justice is the only correct one.
Kazuto: Yeah. It would be great if we could have cooperative security project with Kachou Kamens...
Indeed...
Kazuto: Then, let us end complicated talk as well. Sei, let us eat.
Yes, then, shopkeeper, I'll take menma and the best sake.
Kazuto: Hey! Have a bit mercy!
Haha. Mylord's treat doesn't happen often. I'll enjoy it to the fullest.
My. If Sei-chan is drinking, should I join...?
Wha. Even Shion, the last fortress... ! My last hope is Shuri...
Here, Shuri-chan too, you should party sometimes too. Right?
Yes! Excuse me! Give me refills too! A large bowl for now. (Kazuto... go join Go. You have no allies here)
She's already involved...!
Kazuto: Ah, fine, do as you please! (And you'll magically have money in the next event)
Three months share, four months share, take all you want! (Still, he sure has some major money problems despite being a king...)
