look, the kids accidentally entered the room without knowing there are people inside doing god knows what and siglai and kousano were just too stunned to speak
Another short chapter this month but we finally get to know more about Kenji’s past!
Please note that I’m not a native speaker in either English nor Japanese so I may make some mistakes here and there. Just let me know if you spot any!
SPOILERS AHEAD
- Kenji suddenly gets stronger and throw the surprised Tecchou against a truck. He looks mad and keeps repeating “I have to save them” (TN: the object is not clearly stated in the original sentence. It could be him or her etc.) Even when Tecchou hits him on the face, the doesn’t even flinch.
- There is a flashback where Atsushi was talking to Kunikida about how all the scary guys seem to be very kind towards Kenji. Kunikida then told Atsushi that there is one unspoken rule in Yokohama “not to make Kenji angry”. Atsushi was surprised because Kenji is always very gentle. Kunikida then told him the story of a big flood that happened in a village in Northeast Japan. It was a biggest one in 50 years that they had to change the map of the area after that. However, the village itself was almost intact. Fukuzawa who went there to investigate, found out that the village were safe because right when the flood came, the mountain had somehow collapsed and changed the flow of the water. The foot of the mountain had completely disappeared as if it was chopped off by a giant. And the one who made it happen was a village boy, Kenji. He was the one who changed the shape of that mountain, with his bare hands. Later, Kenji said that he didn't remember anything at that time, after seeing his childhood friend buried alive under the flood. Kunikida says that Kenji's power is like the power of the angry, raging nature, and his gentle personality of him has been holding in in check. When the gentle Kenji is driven away by the anger and crisis, "that" will show up and erupt. And once he has erupted, noone will be able to stop him.
- Back to the present, Tecchou has been completely defeated by Kenji. He has a pillar falling on top of him and can't run away. He tells Kenji to kill him, because he realizes that he should have pursued justice after all, and that Jouno himself would never tell him to let go of the mission to come to his rescue. He says that this is the outcome he's got for misjudging his friend, misjudging justice and misjudging his opponent, and that he is no long qualified as a Hunting Dog.
- Kenji, instead, removes the debris on top of Tecchou and smiles at him, asking him to go look for Jouno together. Kenji says that when he thinks about it, he has no reason to get mad at Tecchou. He reaches his arm to Tecchou to help him get up, but ends up collapsing first. He smiles to Tecchou saying that he has overused his power and needs to rest a little bit. Tecchou is at his limit too, so they both collapse. Before losing consciousness, Tecchou says his name and asks for Kenji's. After knowing Kenji's name, Tecchou says that knowing that name is his big catch of the day.
The chapter ends here. It was so nice to see Tecchou and Kenji finally making up and I hope they can become good friends because both of them are very sincere and nice people.
something dazai would do if someone asks him for a cat (only if atsushi is not around though)
----sorry for being so inactive here I've been busy with school and well, I'm more active on bsdtwt but I won't plug it here bc I want to preserve my freedom and privacy lol. I'll come back if have something funny to share with you *wink*
“My love is real. She ran away and left me but that does not diminish my love for her. I never knew before how deep my love could be. Now that she has left me it is as if a chill wind is blowing through my heart and mind, tormenting me. My grief is unbearable. Ah! The pain of love! What is there that compares with the pain of chasing a dream of love grown cold?”
