* Translation note: Koushu means princess but it's a part of 
Ryuukitsu Koushu's name so I've kept it in Japanese when it's 
her name but translated it to princess when she's addressed as 
such.

92. Battle with Chou Koumei VIII 
     -Sennyo of Water, part 2-

[070]
ChouKoumei: Could it be...!!

ChouKoumei: This gorgeous beauty is Ryuukitsu Koushu!?
Why is that high-ranking sennyo here...!?

Sipuxiang: Ryuukitsu Koushu? She's that "pure-blooded sennyo", 
isn't she?
ChouKoumei: I believe so? Sipuxiang!

Sipuxiang: Well, that's great! I heard that she, like Dakki and 
Bunchuu, is one of Kongrong's most powerful!!
You're finished!!

ChouKoumei: Heheheh
But, Sipuxiang...

[071]
ChouKoumei: The purity of her blood is because she is the product of 
a mating between two sennin which has a success rate of 0.000000003%.
But because of that pure blood, she can only live in the clean 
air of the Sennin World!

Sipuxiang: Eh?
Then, her condition now...

ChouKoumei: That's right... the Human World's air is like poisoned 
gas to her, she ought to be suffering while she's here.

Ryuukitsu: Taikoubou...
Leave this to me.

[072]
Taikoubou: Princess...
Can your body take it?

Ryuukitsu: Yes...
Don't worry about me...

Hekiun: Taikoubou, it's been a while!!

Taikoubou: It's Hekiun!
And...
Sekiun: I'm also Ryuukitsu Koushu's aide, Sekiun!

Sekiun: My younger sister, Hekiun, troubled you in the past.

Taikoubou: Oh? Was it that time?
I think it was in volume 3...

[073]
Hekiun: Our master, that is, the princess, asked us to find a 
chance to repay Dokouson for his help!
Sekiun: Now that Dokouson's been captured, we took this chance 
to come and rescue him!

Taikoubou: I see...
So that's how it is?

Ryuukan: Lady, you'd better mind your own business, or I won't 
let you off!

Ryuukan: Whoever it is, if they waste my time with Sengyoku, I 
will...

[074]
Ryuukan: KILL!!

Ryuukitsu: Oh... all that lava below is his paopei?
We must find a way to deal with the lava first.

Ryuukitsu: In that case...

Ryuukitsu: I'll just freeze it all.

[075]
Ryuukitsu: Paopei "Murokenkonmou"!

Ryuukan: What is this!?

[077]
Tenka: Hey, we should learn a few tricks from this web-
building form of attack.
Taikoubou: Hm...is she okay, though?

Ryuukitsu: Go home! Kingou's doushi!
Your paopei is totally finished.

Ryuukan: Why why why why!?

Ryuukan: Why couldn't you mind your own business!?
This has nothing to do with you, why did you have to 
interfere!?

[078]
Ryuukan: It's about time you go away!!

Ryuukitsu: You fool!

Ryuukan: !!!

Ryuukitsu: These pitiful little things can't burn me.
Because this wall of water will always protect me.

[079]
Ryuukitsu: I do not like to kill...

Ryuukan: Uh...

[080]
Ryuukan: Don't move!!

Ryuukitsu: !

Sengyoku: Ryuukan!!

Ryuukan: I can't make it, Sengyoku!!
I might not win this one!

Ryuukan: Let's die together!!

[081]
Ryuukan: It won't hurt a bit, I'll just break your neck.
Sengyoku: Are you serious!? Who'd want to die with you!?

Tenka: Oh no!!
We won't be in time!!

Ryuukan: I'm about to die, Sengyoku!

[083]
Dokouson: Idiot!! You have to treat women with gentleness!!

Sengyoku: HONEY!!

Ryuukan: Uhhhhhhhhh....
Damn it!! Damn it!!

Ryuukan: Aaaaahhhh!!

[084]
Taikoubou: The soul seems to be looking for a way out...
That man...did he follow the right path in the end?

[085]
Sekiun & Hekiun: Princess!!

Dokouson: Ooohh!
Hekiun!!

Dokouson: Eh?

Dokouson: Could that....could that be...

[086]
Dokouson: My idol, Ryuukitsu Koushu!!

Dokouson: Eh...?
Why can't I move?!

Sengyoku: Haha! Your stomach is probably filled with sand, right?

Sengyoku: My honey, you're so bad!!
Dokouson: Uwaaaaaaaa!!

Tenka & Taikoubou: ............

[087]
Taikoubou: This isn't good... 

Taikoubou: We still have the 4th and 5th floors...

Taikoubou: Yet our side keeps getting injured...

[But----]
[What's worse is what's happening on the 4th floor that 
Taikoubou doesn't know about.]

Tenshou: Eh...?
Drats, I've lost my way.
