Tougen Anki Gaiden, chapter 8 translation
8 Reason to Fight
Itonaga: Fuuuuuuuuck!
En'ya: Tsukuyomi-kun. Ousuke-kun. Please be save, both of you...!
Box: Momotarou Agency Training School 1st year Momosaki En'ya
En'ya: I'll probably be only holding them back, but I, too, have the Momo blood in me. Whatever it is, I want to be of some use to them...
Tsukuyomi: Ousuke. This kid's still alive, you know? Because you held back on your last attack, I take it? What are you going to do with him, exactly?
Ousuke: It goes without saying, ain't it. Of course I'm gonna murderize him. After he grows up more, that is! He's still just a snot-nosed brat, but look at how strong he already is! In a few more years, he'll attain an even more mind-blowing level of power, no doubt! That's who I wanna fight it out to the death with. It's a complete waste to kill the brat now.
Tsukuyomi: I see.
Flashback: (Attacking from the opposite sides?)
Tsukuyomi: True, I suppose. We may have won, but it was 2 on 1. Unless it's a one-on-one faceoff, such a kill is meaningless. Okay, then next time we'll go mano-a-mano.
Ousuke: Let's play again eventually, precocious brat.
En'ya: That oni... is still alive...?
Tsukuyomi: You look familiar...
Ousuke: Momosaki En'ya, was it?
Tsukuyomi: Huh? You remembered his full name, Ousuke? (Wow!)
Ousuke: Dude, we met and talked to him literally today, on the rooftop. (Don't forget things that fast.)
En'ya: You two... Why are you just taking your leave before finishing off that oni? That's a rules violation, no? Don't you get it? If you let an oni go, he'll be killing people again! They're creatures that must not be spared!
Ousuke: Dunno duncare.
En'ya: Eh...?
Ousuke: Look, the thing about us is we don't give a damn about justifying fighting with protecting humans, exterminating pests or any of those other stupid reasons. We engage oni in death battles because we can only get our pleasure from fighting! Whatever happens to some strangers? None of our concern! Right, Tsukuyomi?
Tsukuyomi: Eh?! Y-Yeah. ("We", huh...) Well... that's just how it is. En'ya-kun, was it? You'll keep quiet about us letting that oni go, won't you? I'll even give you this golden cup-and-ball as a special little something. (My most beloved good luck item, by the way.)
En'ya: ...No. Just earlier... the manager of the store I work at part-time died. He was a very kind person. Kind enough to never get annoyed at having to explain how to do the work properly to a slow-wit like me and even goingas far as protecting me from some delinquents that came to the store and picked on me once. And that kind person... got killed by an oni just minutes earlier...! There's no way I can stay quiet after what they did...! Letting any of them leave alive is not an option...! Unhand me!
Ousuke: My eyeeeeeeeee!!!
En'ya: If you refuse to kill them... then I will!
Tsukuyomi: H-Hey! Wait!
En'ya: He's gone...?
Sakaguchi: ...All right. This should be far enough.
Itonaga: You... why...
Sakaguchi: Ah? No adult would leave a kid all by himself at night. Just keep quiet and rest for now. Oh boy... it's anyone's guess what would have became of us by now if those two didn't get distracted... (I couldn't have imagined that he would actually get beaten by the likes of Momo cadets... And I have no idea what the boss will do to both myself and Itonaga when he finds out that we failed. Should we defect and seek protection from the Oni Agency? No, rather than them... maybe it's better to ask the guys from Northern Kyushuu for help...)
Itonaga: Hey. What's wrong, old man? Old man? Hey! What're you doing, Sakagu-- (He's been stabbed with something... A crow...?)
Ukyou: That's one down. I've been searching for you, Oniyanagi Association. Making me work for it, you wretches.
Box: Momotarou Agency Unit 15 Vice-Captain Momozawa Ukyou
Ukyou: Well then, sorry, but it's time for you guys to die for my promotion.
