MiddleBro-Image
Wait up!
Little Bro-Image
Fidgety little-! That lowly little mutt-!
MiddleBro-Image
It's toying with us!
Little Bro-Image
Oh? ...Ichi-nii!
MiddleBro-Image
As expected of Nii-chan! He went around to get ahead of it!
Little Bro-Image
Now we won't have to deal with it escaping-
BigBro-Image
Hah…
Little Bro-Image
Eh? Ichi-nii?
BigBro-Image
Oh.
MiddleBro-Image
Eh? Nii-chan? What did you zone out for? The dog got away!
Little Bro-Image
Whoa! Ichi-nii, out of the way, out of the way!!
BigBro-Image
Huh…? Wh–
Little Bro-Image
Ouch, ouch, ouchhh…
MiddleBro-Image
Ow! Ow!
BigBro-Image
Urgh… My bad, guys.
MiddleBro-Image
Uh, yeah, we're okay.
Little Bro-Image
No problems here. But…
MiddleBro-Image
Ugh… The dog's gone out of sight…
BigBro-Image
Sorry. I'll chase after it right now, so you two-
MiddleBro-Image
Ah, nah, Nii-chan can go back to the office ahead of us!
Little Bro-Image
Please leave this one to us!
BigBro-Image
But...
MiddleBro-Image
Aight! Saburo, we're off!
Little Bro-Image
Don't be so bossy!
BigBro-Image
Hah...
MiddleBro-Image
We're home!
Little Bro-Image
We've just got back!
BigBro-Image
Oh… Welcome back.
Little Bro-Image
We've safely delivered the doggy back to its owner!
MiddleBro-Image
Pfff- "doggy"? You're-
Little Bro-Image
W-what? Do you have a problem with that?
MiddleBro-Image
Nah, not really~ But saying "doggy" even as a middle-schooler?
Little Bro-Image
H-however I say it, it's got nothing to do with you! ...Disregarding that, you- Why did you go out and buy cat food to lure out a dog!
MiddleBro-Image
I- that was just a mistake.
Little Bro-Image
Amazing how you managed to make that mistake when there's a picture of a cat on the packaging. I guess that means that in your mind, that cat looked like a doggy, huh?
MiddleBro-Image
Nngh–! Shut up! You say that, but you froze up when the dog jumped out at you!
Little Bro-Image
T-that couldn't be helped! I don't like big dogs!
MiddleBro-Image
Pfft.. Hahahahahaha! What the hell is that, coming from someone calling it a "doggy"?
Little Bro-Image
Augh!
MiddleBro-Image
Ow! You kicked me, you little shit!
Little Bro-Image
That's 'cause you can't keep your mouth shut!
MiddleBro-Image
What did you- Hey!
Little Bro-Image
You-!
MiddleBro-Image
Let go of me, bastard…! Ohh… H-Hey, Saburo...
Little Bro-Image
Y-yeah. Ichi-nii really is acting strange. Normally, he'd come in and stop us about now.
MiddleBro-Image
N-nii-chan, did something happen?
Little Bro-Image
Ichi-nii, you made a mistake earlier that wasn't like you, too. If you have any worries, please tell me.
MiddleBro-Image
We'll help you out with all our might!
BigBro-Image
Jiro… Saburo… Heh, no, it's nothing. Sorry about the earlier.
MiddleBro-Image
Nii-chan! I won't believe that it's nothing when you've got that face on!
Little Bro-Image
“Brothers help each other”, Ichi-nii, wasn't it you who told us this?
BigBro-Image
You two… ...Heh. Jiro, Saburo, thank you. There was something that was on my mind a little. Will you listen?
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
Of course!
BigBro-Image
Do you guys remember Samatoki's little sister?
Little Bro-Image
Little sister?
MiddleBro-Image
Oh! Nemu Aohitsugi!
Little Bro-Image
Huh?
MiddleBro-Image
You've met her once too! From that time we got abducted.
Little Bro-Image
Uh… Oh! It's a bit vague, but I remember!
MiddleBro-Image
What's she got to do with this?
BigBro-Image
Yeah… Look at this site.
Little Bro-Image
This is… a missing persons list?
MiddleBro-Image
Hm…! Oh! Nemu Aohitsugi's here…
BigBro-Image
I found it by chance during yesterday's job. I haven't seen her since I fell out with Samatoki, but to think that she's been missing...
Little Bro-Image
Ichi-nii, were you close to her?
BigBro-Image
We didn't see each other much, but we were the same age, and I am worried about her as a friend.
MiddleBro-Image
Nii-chan! Leave finding Nemu Aohitsugi to me!
BigBro-Image
Jiro…
Little Bro-Image
Ichi-nii! I'll search for her too! I'll be able to find her faster!
BigBro-Image
Saburo...
MiddleBro-Image
Hah! I'll definitely be faster.
Little Bro-Image
Ha! Say what you want, I'll let my results speak for me!
BigBro-Image
Thank you both. Well then, let's work towards finding her, the three of us together!
MiddleBro-Image
Ugh… Okay.
Little Bro-Image
Got it…
BigBro-Image
If we find something, we'll share the information.
MiddleBro-Image
Gotcha!
Little Bro-Image
Noted!
BigBro-Image
I'm going to go ask an information source right now.
MiddleBro-Image
I've got someone who might know in mind too, so I'll try probing 'em.
Little Bro-Image
I'll collect information too!
MiddleBro-Image
Then I'll head out!
BigBro-Image
I'm counting on you. (What Samatoki said after the Division Battles ended...)
MrHc-Image
I will never forgive you for what you did to Nemu.
BigBro-Image
(What those words meant… Will I understand, if I meet her?)
MiddleBro-Image
Oh, okay. Thanks anyway. I'll ask again if I need a hand with something else. A total bust, huh. (I'd thought that info about the younger sister of someone as famous as Samatoki Aohitsugi would come up pretty quickly, but…) ...I could try asking an underground contact. Though I don't really want to meet up… but it's for Nii-chan… Agh! This isn't the time to be picky about the means! It's me. I've got something I want to ask of you.
Little Bro-Image
(That missing persons site that Ichi-nii said he saw... It's got some suspicious logs. Someone's hacked into it recently? But what for? I'll try looking into Nemu Aohitsugi more deeply. "Plunderer"... It's expensive, but most information can be found here. "Nemu Aohitsugi"... ) H-huh? "Confidential Matter"!? (There's never been something like that before, though… What is she?)
Urumi Asogi
Jiro, baby, welcome~. I've been missing you.
MiddleBro-Image
...Yeah, it's been a while, Urumi.
Urumi Asogi
Heheh. Do you want a drink?
MiddleBro-Image
Nah, I'm good. Sorry for being blunt, but did you get the info I asked for?
Urumi Asogi
Aw~ Aren't we Mister Impatient. Isn't it more in line to make the mood first, especially when it's been so long? A man and a woman should be like that, no~?
MiddleBro-Image
A man and a woman? It's a man and a man here, you know.
Urumi Asogi
Aw, Jiro. A gentleman has the decency to not mention that.
MiddleBro-Image
Too bad, I'm not anything as fancy as a gentleman. Anyway, the info?
Urumi Asogi
Here you go.
MiddleBro-Image
Ooh, Urumi, you're as reliable as expected! ...This is… Shiro… myaku? ...Uh, How do I read this?[1]
Urumi Asogi
It's Sasara Nurude.
MiddleBro-Image
Sasara... Nurude?
Urumi Asogi
Ahahaha! Little Jiro can't read kanji, how adorable~
MiddleBro-Image
Don't you make fun of me, nobody can read this shit! And? Who is this guy? I asked for info on Nemu Aohitsugi, you know.
Urumi Asogi
Even I couldn't get my hands on information about Nemu Aohitsugi.
MiddleBro-Image
Not even you? Then, who's this Sasara Nurude guy?
Urumi Asogi
He seems to know something about her.
MiddleBro-Image
You couldn't find anything on Nemu Aohitsugi, but you could find someone who might know?
Urumi Asogi
I can't reveal the source, but it's for certain.
MiddleBro-Image
...Well, your info's never been wrong, so I won't ask.
Urumi Asogi
Thank you, Jiro. That honesty, I love it-
MiddleBro-Image
Okay, okay, thank 'ya or whatever. I'll put your pay here.
Urumi Asogi
See ya later, Jiro!
MiddleBro-Image
Urgh…
Urumi Asogi
Hello?
Mastermind-Image
Yo, Urumi! How's business? You thrivin'?
Urumi Asogi
Well, it's so-so.
Mastermind-Image
Good to hear. So? Did it go well?
Urumi Asogi
It went as you desired.
Mastermind-Image
Heheh, thank you.
Urumi Asogi
It pains my heart to trick poor lil' Jiro.
Mastermind-Image
I told you, it's going to be just fine! It won't come to anything untoward. I'll guarantee that.
Urumi Asogi
Hmph. How dependable. ...Hey, can I ask?
Mastermind-Image
Hm? What is it?
Urumi Asogi
How did you know that Jiro would come to me about this?
Mastermind-Image
Hahaha! That's because I'm incredible!
Urumi Asogi
That isn't an answer. Oh well. One other thing. What's your relationship with this boy?
Mastermind-Image
I mean, I could tell you, but it's going to be pricey.
Urumi Asogi
Then I'll decline. I don't know what I'll get roped into, anyway.
Mastermind-Image
Hahahaha! Well, call me anytime if you want to find out.
Urumi Asogi
Jiro seems to have caught the eye of some serious trouble...
MiddleBro-Image
Oh, it's just you, Saburo.
Little Bro-Image
Well, I'm sorry for being just me.
MiddleBro-Image
Saburo, did you find anything?
Little Bro-Image
Kind of. If I said I found something, I did. If I said I didn't find anything, I didn't. That kind of thing.
MiddleBro-Image
The hell does that mean?
Little Bro-Image
You say that, but did you find anything?
MiddleBro-Image
...If I said I found something, I did. If I said I didn't find anything, I didn't. That kind of thing.
Little Bro-Image
So you're the same as me.
MiddleBro-Image
What was the thing you did find, then?
Little Bro-Image
I don't want to be the only one giving information.
MiddleBro-Image
I know! I'll tell you what I know too!
Little Bro-Image
...What I've found is that Nemu Aohitsugi is an "untouchable" subject.
MiddleBro-Image
It means information on her isn't going to be obtained very easily.
Little Bro-Image
It means I can't easily get her information, that's all.
MiddleBro-Image
Why is that?
Little Bro-Image
I wouldn't be having trouble if I knew that. So? What did you find out?
MiddleBro-Image
Here.
Little Bro-Image
What's this, this memo? ...Sasara Nurude? What's a comedian got anything to do with this?
MiddleBro-Image
Huh? You know this guy?
Little Bro-Image
Wait, you don't? He's a pretty popular comedian.
MiddleBro-Image
...I don't watch much stand-up, so…
Little Bro-Image
Well, whatever. So? What about him?
MiddleBro-Image
Looks like that Sasara Nurude guy has info on Nemu Aohitsugi.
Little Bro-Image
I can't tell how they're connected.
MiddleBro-Image
Yeah…
Little Bro-Image
I can try investigating.
MiddleBro-Image
Huh?
Little Bro-Image
We've moving to my room, Jiro.
MiddleBro-Image
...What's up with him?
MiddleBro-Image
Huh? What's this site?
Little Bro-Image
Just watch. Sasara Nurude... As expected, there's a lot of information on him.
MiddleBro-Image
Wh- Whoa, that's a lot of info
Little Bro-Image
He is a celebrity, I'd say this is a reasonable amount. This seems about right.
MiddleBro-Image
What even is this site?
Little Bro-Image
Let's just say that it's a business secret.
MiddleBro-Image
A business? You-
Little Bro-Image
Oh, here it is.
MiddleBro-Image
Let's see… Hmmm?
Little Bro-Image
I- you- you're too close!
MiddleBro-Image
I can't see the screen very well, it can't be helped. Hmm, what's this? Th-this is-
Little Bro-Image
If this is true, then it's definitely not strange for Sasara Nurude to have some sort of information.
MiddleBro-Image
Yeah, that's true.
BigBro-Image
I'm home!
MiddleBro-Image
Welcome back!
Little Bro-Image
Welcome home!
BigBro-Image
What's up? The pair of you look so solemn.
MiddleBro-Image
About that…
BigBro-Image
Did you find something?
Little Bro-Image
...Yes.
BigBro-Image
Awesome! And what did you find out?
MiddleBro-Image
We want to ask you something, Nii-chan.
BigBro-Image
Ask me something?
Little Bro-Image
Yes. It's aboute Sasara Nurude. Ichi-nii, were you in a team with him in the past?
BigBro-Image
Yeah. It wasn't for very long, but we were in a team.
MiddleBro-Image
It's a different team to The Dirty Dawg, right?
BigBro-Image
Yeah, we teamed up, or just kind of grouped up, a bit before that. Me, Sasara-san, another one of my friends, and… Samatoki
Little Bro-Image
And that's given us some proof.
BigBro-Image
What do you mean? Can you explain?
Little Bro-Image
Yes!
BigBro-Image
I see.
MiddleBro-Image
Yeah. We couldn't find out what he knows, though.
BigBro-Image
Alright. I guess that it's the only thread that's open. Thank you both.
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
Hehehe~
BigBro-Image
Guess I'll head to Osaka tomorrow.
MiddleBro-Image
Then I'll come along, to help!
Little Bro-Image
No, if it comes to support, I'm the more useful one!
BigBro-Image
I'm glad for the thought, but I can't leave behind just one of you. Both of you wait here, in case something happens this end. There's the shop to think about, too.
MiddleBro-Image
Yeah… Okay!
Little Bro-Image
Yes… Understood!
BigBro-Image
Aight! Since you two have helped me out, let's eat out tonight! What do you want to eat?
MiddleBro-Image
Yakiniku!
Little Bro-Image
Sushi!
BigBro-Image
Gotcha! Let's go somewhere that we can eat both!
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
That exists!?
BigBro-Image
Alright! Let's go!
Mastermind-Image
Haaaaahh! A drink after work is exceptional! Right, Sasara?
TragicComedy-Image
Hah! You say "work", but it's something shady, right? Oh, it's already run out. Hey! Can you get some snacks, Rosho?
Mastermind-Image
Hmm, can we get a drink refill over here?
Wisdom-Image
Why are you drinking at my house!?
TragicComedy-Image
I mean, you ask why, but you know?
Mastermind-Image
You know?
TragicComedy-Image
Your place is clean!
Mastermind-Image
It's worthwhile to make a mess of it.
Wisdom-Image
Don't mess around! What do you think my place is!?
TragicComedy-Image
A pub?
Mastermind-Image
A bar.
Wisdom-Image
GET OUT!
TragicComedy-Image
Nice! Pub, Bar, Get out! Nice! A brilliant punchline!
Wisdom-Image
Idiot, I didn't aim for that!
TragicComedy-Image
Oh! That's right, I need you to listen to this before getting drunk, or I'll forget.
Wisdom-Image
...What is it?
TragicComedy-Image
Rosho, you don't have school tomorrow, right?
Wisdom-Image
Yes.
TragicComedy-Image
Come watch my show.
Wisdom-Image
Why though.
TragicComedy-Image
Yeah, you know that girl? One of your students, wanted to become a star? She's going to come on! I bet she'll be happy if her teacher came to watch!
Wisdom-Image
So it's like that.
TragicComedy-Image
You'll come, right?
Wisdom-Image
Yeah. If it's like that, I'll take the invite to watch.
TragicComedy-Image
Alright, it's decided!
Mastermind-Image
Oh, what's all this then? Rosho's going to be on TV? Make sure to not get nervous and stammer.
Wisdom-Image
Shut it. I'm not going to get nervous just by going to watch!
Mastermind-Image
Oops, I'll just take this call.
TragicComedy-Image
Sure!
Mastermind-Image
Save some drinks for me, okay?
TragicComedy-Image
Haha! I can't guarantee that!
Wisdom-Image
What!? Are you two planning to drink everything!?
Mastermind-Image
Heh. What is it, this late at night? It's not an invitation to a date, is it?
Otometohoten
You rewrote the Plunderer without discussion again.
Mastermind-Image
Heheh.
Otometohoten
What is the meaning of this?
Mastermind-Image
There's no need for your scary voice. I did it while thinking what would be advantageous to you guys.
Otometohoten
I'm listening.
Mastermind-Image
The true Hypnosis Mic. It can't be left like it is forever, no?
Otometohoten
I think how it is now is enough. That's what Ramuda Amemura is for, no?
Mastermind-Image
Ooh, scary, scary. That's kinda "inhumane", you know what I mean?
Otometohoten
That only applies if you define him as "human". In Chuohku's perspective, he is nothing but a consumable object. Do you vilify breaking a pencil or a lightbulb as being inhumane?
Mastermind-Image
Hm. Well, interpretations of that will vary from person to person. Do what you want. It's best to find someone who can fully utilise the new Hypnosis Mic, no? For further development of Chuohku, too.
Otometohoten
Let's say I fell for that smooth-talk.
Mastermind-Image
Hahaha. If you could, I'd be so grateful that tears will start pourwing.
Otometohoten
I sincerely hope you won’t do anything unnecessary.
Mastermind-Image
Otome... You're misunderstanding. Since I've met you, I've only done things that are unnecessary for you.
TragicComedy-Image
You took your sweet time. Rosho drank too much and fell asleep!
Mastermind-Image
My bad, my bad. Was just a woman.
TragicComedy-Image
At your age? Energetic, aren't ya?
Mastermind-Image
"In active service for life" is my creed, so. Oh yeah, that's right.
TragicComedy-Image
Hmmmm?
Mastermind-Image
From tomorrow, I'm gonna be off travelling a bit far, for work. You might not be able to reach me.
TragicComedy-Image
Hmm?
Mastermind-Image
Hm? Oh, yeah yeah, take this.
TragicComedy-Image
What's this scrap of paper?
Mastermind-Image
Pretty soon, Ichiro Yamada will visit you. Pass this onto him.
TragicComedy-Image
...Ichiro? Why'd you know about Ichiro?
Mastermind-Image
Something like an old acquaintance.
TragicComedy-Image
Huh… Am I part of one of your shady plans?
Mastermind-Image
Don't say need to be so harsh. I can guarantee that that's not the case.
TragicComedy-Image
A guarantee from an old conman like you is the least trustworthy!
Mastermind-Image
Heheh. But hey, isn't this a good chance?
TragicComedy-Image
Huh?
Mastermind-Image
He's probably changed from when you were teamed up with him.
TragicComedy-Image
You're going to say something like "test his strength", yeah?
Mastermind-Image
Hmm.
TragicComedy-Image
(This guy's definitely hiding something.) Huh. Well, whatever. If Ichiro really turns up, I pass this onto him.
Mastermind-Image
Alright! How about another shot?
MiddleBro-Image
Here, Nii-chan.
Little Bro-Image
Ichi-nii, take this too.
BigBro-Image
What's this?
Little Bro-Image
It's Sasara Nurude's agenda. It has his schedule for this week, some places he might go in his free time, and his address.
MiddleBro-Image
Mine is an admission ID for the TV station that Nurude Sasara is going to perform at.
BigBro-Image
Ooh, much thanks. Alright, I'm off. I'll leave the house in your hands while I'm gone.
MiddleBro-Image
Leave it to me!
Little Bro-Image
See you later!
MiddleBro-Image
...I do hope that nothing bad happens.
Little Bro-Image
Yeah, me too.
BigBro-Image
Osaka, huh. It's my first time coming here, but as expected of the largest city in western Japan; there sure are a lot of people. (Sasara… Haven't seen him since he left after that dispute with Samatoki.) The info I got from Saburo is really detailed! At around this time, Sasara is… in the middle of a live broadcast at Rising Sun TV, huh.
TragicComedy-Image
Actually, this girl's homeroom teacher is in the seats today! He's also my former comedy partner! Let's hear a word from him! Three, two, one, go ahead!!
Wisdom-Image
Wha- uh- I, um- s-she's f-from my... my class... uh...
TragicComedy-Image
Whoa, you're stammering all over the place, man!
MiddleBro-Image
Ahahahahahaha!!!
Little Bro-Image
What are you watching?
MiddleBro-Image
Oh, heheh, I'm watching Sasara Nurude's show, this dude is hilarious!
Little Bro-Image
I see you're finally getting with the times.
MiddleBro-Image
Oh yeah, Nii-chan should have arrived 'round about now, yeah?
Little Bro-Image
Yeah.
MiddleBro-Image
I wonder what happened to Nemu Aohitsugi.
Little Bro-Image
If we knew that, Ichi-nii wouldn't have gone all the way in Osaka, you know.
MiddleBro-Image
I kinda recall Nemu Aohitsugi being a normal girl, though…
Little Bro-Image
I... don't remember much.
MiddleBro-Image
Figures. You were crying the entire time.
Little Bro-Image
I-I couldn't help it! I was a kid back then.
MiddleBro-Image
You're still a brat even now, though.
Little Bro-Image
Gh- Are you picking a fight, huh?
MiddleBro-Image
Huh? Nope. I only said the truth.
Little Bro-Image
Well, you-
MiddleBro-Image
Okay, okay, I'll take you on some other time. Coming!
Mastermind-Image
Yo!
MiddleBro-Image
Uh… Um, you here for a job request?
Mastermind-Image
Heheh. If you say so, it might be. Scuse me~[2]
MiddleBro-Image
H-hey, don't just come in!
Little Bro-Image
Wait, I feel like I met him somewhere… Ah! If I'm remembering right, you're Gentaro Yumeno's editor!
Mastermind-Image
Hmm? Oh right, I first met you in that setting, didn't I?
Little Bro-Image
...Setting?
Mastermind-Image
Heh. That was a lie.
Little Bro-Image
Wh…
MiddleBro-Image
Who are you?
Mastermind-Image
Me? Mark me down as a "guest" for the time being.
Little Bro-Image
"For the time being"?
Mastermind-Image
Come on, don't be so guarded.
MiddleBro-Image
So, "guest for the time being", what will be the job request?
Mastermind-Image
I don't really have one.
MiddleBro-Image
You makin' fun of me?!
Little Bro-Image
…What're you looking at?
Mastermind-Image
Heheheh… Sorry for my bad manners. You're Ichiro's hangers-on, yeah? You sure look that way.
MiddleBro-Image
What are you?
Mastermind-Image
Are you two fine with how you are right now?
Little Bro-Image
You've got no right or reason to complain about our relationship.
MiddleBro-Image
Yeah, that's right. We seriously admire Nii-chan! You're in no position to judge us over it!
Mastermind-Image
The right, huh. I think I have more than enough of that.
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
...Huh?
Mastermind-Image
You two have scars from the war that you got when you were kids, yeah? Jiro, on the right shoulder. Saburo, on the left shoulder.
MiddleBro-Image
Wha-! How did he-
Little Bro-Image
Only us brothers should know that...
Mastermind-Image
Hey, hey. There's someone else that could know, yeah? Family isn't just siblings, yeah?
MiddleBro-Image
Huh…? Our family only has three members!
Mastermind-Image
So you were just babies carried in by storks?
Little Bro-Image
If you're talking about our parents, they're long-dead.
Mastermind-Image
Hmmmm… Is that what Ichiro told you?
MiddleBro-Image
That's right.
Mastermind-Image
In that case, he's a lying bastard. For you see, I... am your father.
Staff
Please show your admission pass.
BigBro-Image
Here.
Staff
Hm… Yes, thank you.
BigBro-Image
Thanks.
Wisdom-Image
Sasara, why did you single me out!?
TragicComedy-Image
Hahaha! Thanks for that! It was pretty funny in itself.
Wisdom-Image
I forgot you're this kind of person…
TragicComedy-Image
How was it, coming back to TV after so long?
Wisdom-Image
...Draining.
TragicComedy-Image
Door’s open, come in!
BigBro-Image
Long time no see, Sasara-san.
TragicComedy-Image
Ichiro… He really turned up.
BigBro-Image
Hm?
Wisdom-Image
Huh? You're from Buster Bros!!!… Sasara, you know him?
TragicComedy-Image
Yeah, he's Ichiro Yamada. He's… something like my junior from back in the day.
Wisdom-Image
Huh, okay. You did used to live in Ikebukuro.
TragicComedy-Image
Wait, how did you even get all the way in here?
BigBro-Image
...Let's just say I'm using all kinds of connections.
TragicComedy-Image
It's probably something questionable anyway, huh. You're a rudie, as usual.[3] So? What are you here for? You didn't come all the way down to Osaka to sightsee, no?
BigBro-Image
It's something a bit awkward to ask of you, Sasara-san, but…
TragicComedy-Image
Huh? What is it?
BigBro-Image
I wanted to ask about Samatoki's younger sister.
TragicComedy-Image
Nemu-chan? What about her?
BigBro-Image
Yes. Do you know where she is now?
TragicComedy-Image
No, I don't. The last time I saw her was quite a while ago.
BigBro-Image
I… see.
TragicComedy-Image
Wait, wouldn't you know more?
BigBro-Image
Well, I didn't, so I thought I might ask you, Sasara-san. If you hear something, please contact me with the details on my business card.
TragicComedy-Image
Aight! Uhh, but, wouldn't it be faster to just ask Samatoki himself?
BigBro-Image
Uh… no…
TragicComedy-Image
Did something happen?
BigBro-Image
Yes. Actually…
TragicComedy-Image
Huh, I see… Something like that happened, huh.
BigBro-Image
Yes. Sasara-san, back then, why did you get into a fight with Samatoki?
TragicComedy-Image
Y-yeah, that. To be honest, I myself don't really know why I did something like that.
BigBro-Image
Huh?
TragicComedy-Image
It was like I wasn't myself… Well, it's all in the past!
BigBro-Image
Is that so…
TragicComedy-Image
Sorry about not knowing anything on Nemu-chan!
BigBro-Image
No, no, I turned up on my own, so... Well, I'll be taking my leave now.
TragicComedy-Image
Ah, wait a sec!
BigBro-Image
Hm?
TragicComedy-Image
Can I make a little request of my own?
BigBro-Image
A request? If it's something I can do…
TragicComedy-Image
Then I'll not hesitate. Rosho, get out your mic.
Wisdom-Image
Why though?
TragicComedy-Image
C'mon, c'mon!
BigBro-Image
(Why do they have a Hypnosis Mic?)
TragicComedy-Image
Alright! Let's battle!
Wisdom-Image
Huh? Why!?
BigBro-Image
What... do you mean?
TragicComedy-Image
A guy that made it to the last finals tournament is standing right in front of us! I don't think there's many chances like this to check out how strong we are!
Wisdom-Image
You're saying to experience what the level of a Division Battle is like?
TragicComedy-Image
DING DING DING!! Right on the money!
Wisdom-Image
No.
TragicComedy-Image
WHY?!!
Wisdom-Image
Right back at you. Why?
TragicComedy-Image
Listen, Rosho, you've not got anywhere near enough experience in battles with those who are truly skilled! You need to do this or you won't improve. Plus, you don't want to be a burden once the battles start, right?
Wisdom-Image
Y-Yeah, I d-don't want that.
TragicComedy-Image
Right?
Wisdom-Image
...I guess. I'll go along with what you say. Ichiro-kun, it's like that. Do us a favor, yeah?
BigBro-Image
Ugh…
TragicComedy-Image
We're the ones asking, but just take it as a battle in the wild! We'll take the first line! Go, Rosho!
Wisdom-Image
Don't order me around!
MiddleBro-Image
F-F-Father…? Nii-chan said he died…
Little Bro-Image
There's no way… We can't believe that!
Mastermind-Image
Well, you're free to believe it or not. But even if you don't believe it, the truth won't change. Jiro. Saburo. Come with me. If you two stay under Ichiro, you'll never be able to go above him.
MiddleBro-Image
There's no way we'll go! Is your head screwed on right, you old coot!?
Mastermind-Image
Heh, you can call me "daddy~", if you want.
MiddleBro-Image
Stop fucking around!
Mastermind-Image
Oh, I'm so scared.
MiddleBro-Image
Saburo, you say something too! Saburo?
Mastermind-Image
Heheh. Saburo understands, huh.
MiddleBro-Image
Gh- Saburo! You're not taking anything this fucker says seriously, are you!?
Little Bro-Image
Ugh, let go! There's no way I'll believe this guy is our father. But…
MiddleBro-Image
No buts! We'll be by Nii-chan's side, helping him out! Right!?
Little Bro-Image
I want to be of use to Ichi-nii too!
Mastermind-Image
They say siblings who fight more get along more, so go on, fight. Though, Daddy has one more reason he came to visit you two. The reason I bothered to make Ichiro search for information on Nemu Aohitsugi and have him go to Osaka was… So that he wouldn't interfere.
MiddleBro-Image
Wh- A mic?
Mastermind-Image
Come on. Take out your mics too. I want to see you two's strength.
Little Bro-Image
What do you mean?
Mastermind-Image
Why, isn't it natural that a father would want to see how his sons have grown?
MiddleBro-Image
You're making fun of us! Saburo! We're going to beat the shit out of that smirking face!
Little Bro-Image
Yeah, you don't have to tell me to!
Mastermind-Image
Good. Now, show me your rap.
Wisdom-Image
Here I go!
Wisdom-Image
I won't be holding back, I'll make use of this advantage fully!
The first one to lead this unofficial battle will be me!
Together, we'll take you on, so show us what you've got!
That ain’t it isn't it? Unlike ours, other places are ordinary
I'll win over the pressure and nervousness
What's important is, well, not exhausting your difference in skills
For the sake of reclaiming the land, I'll dig the hardened ground
Don't think so badly of me, I'm just trying with my ability
BigBro-Image
Ugh! Ghh…
TragicComedy-Image
How's that? Our Rosho did pretty well!
Wisdom-Image
Now, it's your turn next.
BigBro-Image
Ugh… Don't… regret this…
BigBro-Image
You've looked down on me, didn't you?
Well, whatever. It's true that this is about skills
You'll have your life taken if you’re no good with nervousness
Having a glass heart of a level is no good, you need a higher one
In a tempering place, increase your cruelty, shape your consciousness
In a building made to lure you in, it’s a battle of MC
I refuse to be stubborn with an idiotic enemy
Sometimes, the pitiful can only move forward through the tears!
TragicComedy-Image
Oh, Rosho didn't go down either, nice!
Wisdom-Image
Uh… huh?
TragicComedy-Image
(Seems like Rosho's noticed too. Ichiro isn't serious at all. Wonder what I can do… Uhh, I don't really feel like doing this. But this is the only option, so I guess it can't be helped.)
BigBro-Image
Alright. That's enough, right?
TragicComedy-Image
Yeah! Thanks, Ichiro!
BigBro-Image
Then I'll be leaving.
TragicComedy-Image
Ah, wait a sec.
BigBro-Image
Huh?
TragicComedy-Image
You lost in the first round, yeah?
BigBro-Image
...Yeah.
TragicComedy-Image
I'll give you a bit of advice.
BigBro-Image
What is it?
TragicComedy-Image
You're teamed up with your two younger brothers, yeah? From what I've seen of the previous Division Battle, you're too overprotective.
BigBro-Image
Tch- ...That's…
TragicComedy-Image
In the first place, you'll never be able to win while teamed up with those garbage younger brothers. Those two are like, extras that come with Ichiro![4]
BigBro-Image
Huh!?
Wisdom-Image
Hey! What're you saying…?
BigBro-Image
Gh… I won't forgive any insults to them. Take that back!
TragicComedy-Image
(Heh, this really is the best way to make him fight for real. Sorry, little bros!) You want me to take it back? You'll have to defeat me!
BigBro-Image
Then I will!
BigBro-Image
Say anything you want about me
But don't you dare diss my bros like that!
You're just doing chit-chat, where do you find such a young master?
It won't stick, I don't feel like being belittled, laters
We're friends? Not in the slightest! As for redemption
Even if you lose or win, you won't be getting it!
We're Yamada and this is a rap leading to your death
In that case, my shout is loud, I'll destroy your existence!
TragicComedy-Image
GUUAHHH..!!!! Eheheheh, it's completely different from before! Now it's my turn!
TragicComedy-Image
It's really fine, even so, the rotor goes harder
That's what you call a double-edged sword
Just as the rumors says, the flow sticks on the weapon
When it comes to your brothers, you become a different kind of “serious”
Is this how you treat a customer? The visitors are standing too
It's a rhyme contract’s cancellation, you make me laugh
We'll fight. What, we're warriors aren't we?
Spread the reclaimed land
It seems to be blocked, your gaping mouth that is
BigBro-Image
Ugh! Gh… Ghhh… It's… not over yet.
TragicComedy-Image
No. This is the end.
BigBro-Image
Huh!? You going to run!?
TragicComedy-Image
This time, you had taken a hit from Rosho. Let's settle this in the next Division Battle. So see you later, Ichiro! I've got a meeting elsewhere after this, so I'll be heading off.
Wisdom-Image
I'll be taking my leave, too.
TragicComedy-Image
Oop, almost forgot. Here!
BigBro-Image
This is..?
TragicComedy-Image
Another member of ours told me to give this to you. And so I have. See ya!
BigBro-Image
...What's this paper scrap? "A reward for coming all the way here. I'll give you the information you wanted to know." ...What is this? Nemu's profile?! Nemu Aohitsugi, Chuohku Administrative Inspection Bureau, Vice Chief. ...No... way… There something else written on the back. Rei... Yamada... Pops...?
MiddleBro-Image
Let's go, Saburo!
Little Bro-Image
I know!
MiddleBro-Image
Hey, who the hell would listen to anything you say!?
If us brothers are together, we are moving forward with our fantastic rap!
Little Bro-Image
Don't play around. Our father? What a bad joke!
United, we'll show our strong bonds at the critical moment
MiddleBro-Image
Augh, you piss me off, stop making fun of us!
Little Bro-Image
Our rap is a weapon that will finish you off
After death, your deceptions will be nothing
MiddleBro-Image
You gonna mess with our hearts?
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
Then we won't go easy on you
Little Bro-Image
Even if you struggle
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
It's no use!
Mastermind-Image
Gh… ...Heheheh. Barely a passing grade, and that's being generous.
MiddleBro-Image
He's... not affected... at all!?
Mastermind-Image
So now, it's my turn.
Mastermind-Image
I'm happy, you've grown so big
But seems that's just your bodies and mouths
You're my sons, know this, you show your filial piety
First by grandly surpassing your parent
Hah, what a shame
Without your brother, you're not much to speak of
You can team up all you want, but still
A loser mutt's howls won't reach me
MiddleBro-Image
Little Bro-Image
AAAAAGHHH!!!!
Mastermind-Image
If you want to defeat me, come at me without relying on each other! Don't get dependent!! Rap at that level won't resonate at all!!
MiddleBro-Image
Ghh… How dare you go around saying whatever the fuck you want!!
MiddleBro-Image
My dad's this guy?
No way, you're getting excluded ASAP
Weak, weak, completely hopeless
That's you, stopped here, this is the end
Going up against any foes no matter how huge
The brothers together, what do you think of our determination?
Eat takoyaki or something and go to sleep
I don't recall being born from you!
Mastermind-Image
Augh! Ugh... Heheheheheh. That's right. Much better than before
Little Bro-Image
Act arrogant while you can, it won't be for much longer!
Little Bro-Image
"My son"? No, I'm the Yamada family's youngest
Little Bro! I'll take the head of this con-man that's all talk
I kept my mouth shut and listened, how dare you mix shit and miso
I'm your opponent, I'll sort what's good and bad
Hey look at me, antis and haters
Come at me, huh, I don't feel a thing
I won't dance in the palm of your hand
Agh, boring, I'll send flowers to your funeral
Mastermind-Image
Well done. You two really are my sons.
MiddleBro-Image
Well? Come on already!
Mastermind-Image
Heheh. That's enough.
Little Bro-Image
What!?
Mastermind-Image
It means that's it for today. You two are just as I expected. Well, we'll meet again soon enough.
MiddleBro-Image
I don't ever want to see you again!
Little Bro-Image
I agree with Jiro for once!
Mastermind-Image
Oh, that's right. It would be better for you two to not tell Ichiro about my visit.
MiddleBro-Image
Why's that, huh?
Mastermind-Image
Because Ichiro is hiding something from you two.
MiddleBro-Image
There's no way that's true!
Mastermind-Image
Is that so? I mean, He lied about me being dead, you know? You're going to believe a liar like that?
Little Bro-Image
DON'T YOU DARE CALL OUR BROTHER A LIAR!
Mastermind-Image
Come now, you can see it if you think about it calmly. That nobody but your family knows about those scars… You two should know that above all others. Ichiro is definitely hiding something from you. I'll guarantee it. Well, see ya.
MiddleBro-Image
Nii-chan...
Little Bro-Image
Ichi-nii...

  1. 白膠木 (Nurude) has 白 "white", normally pronounced "shiro" or "haku", and 膠 "animal glue", normally pronounced "nikawa" or "kou". Jiro mistook the second one for 脈 "pulse", pronounced "myaku".
  2. A common skit in the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki (an Osakan comedy troupe) is a group of yakuza coming in with 邪魔すんでー ("Scuse me for disturbing you~", a common phrase that basically just means "Coming in"), someone else replying with 邪魔するんやったら帰ってー ("Go away if you're gonna disturb us~"), as a joke on the original meaning of the words as opposed to their meaning in actual usage, and the yakuza replying with あいよー ("Okay~"), turning to leave, and then getting mad about being told to leave. The joke here is Osaka + the Yakuza reference.
  3. Rudie: short for rudeboy, Jamaican slang for delinquents. Used similarly to "gangsta" or "badman". Originally used to refer to fans of ska and ska punk, with the modern usage also being used for fans of other related genres.
  4. The term I've translated as "extras" is おまけ (omake). This has two meanings: a freebie bonus that comes with the purchase of a different item (hence "extras"), and a discount (which adds the insult of "those two are discount Ichiros"). There's also an additional meaning via a pun - the word "lose" is 負け (make), which means the sentence can also be read as "those two are (what causes) Ichiro's loss".
