Tougen Anki, chapter 269 translation
269 Indomitable
Innami: Mudano-san. As expected, you work fast. cough
Mudano: It's you, Innami.
Innami: I was quite far from here, but their passion reached even me... cough Seeing this upclose really makes a tremendous impression. Fitting for such a fierce battle.
Mudano: Yeah... But... Their limit is close.
Tougo: (My vision's getting blurry. And it's hard to breathe... The pain is so intense I can't feel anything else anymore...)
Innami: He's wounded all over... cough
Mudano: He is... but... the same goes for Shiki too.
Shiki: (Oh damn... the spots where he got me are hardening... I can't sustain the wings anymore... How come he's still standing... That's too freaky dammit... Just how much effort did he invest...? How much training...? How many hopes and responsibilities does he shoulder...? It's gotta be an absolutely absurd amount...)
Tougo: Everchanging Twin Bones.
Innami: His skill at handling those knives is incredible! He cut up all those bullets into tiny pieces... cough
Mudano: With normal bullets he'd have no problem, but...
Innami: The flame trails.
Shiki: Don't get up anymore! You'll die!
Tougo: I...I can't... allow myself to lose... Children embracing hope for the future on a morning when the petails of peach-colored flowers fall... People remembering the days of their youth when cicadas buzz... Others finding the meaning of life when leaves turn red... Still others learning what human warmth is like on a snowy evening... It's our lifelong mission as Momotarou to protect people's peaceful days all year round... That's why...! I can't allow myself to lose...! If we lose... who will protect people's ordinary lives....?! I simply cannot lose... must not lose...! For us Momotarou defeat is graver than death...!
Shiki: I get your way of thinking... You're the protagonist all right. I'll let you have that role! I'm fine with being the villain! But even then! There's a reality that I just can't accept...! And there's a future that I wanna change, too...! There're things... I just can't give up.
Shiki: Holy shit... He's already half-out cold, yet he's still on his feet...
Innami: He may be an enemy, but he's the peak of admirable... cough
Tougo: I must not... lose...
Shiki: For real...? You're really the mightiest all right...
