[172]
- Zhou Army Barracks -

Youzen: Buou!
I'll let you off here, and go right back to help Taikoubou-
shishu!!
KiHatsu: Right... go quickly! Youzen!

[173]
Youzen: Master Genshi Tenson!?

KiHatsu: Who's that old fella?
Youzen: Why have you come to the Human World...!?

Genshi: Hahaha...
I thought I'd come to watch your little battle!

Genshi: Listen up, Youzen...
There'll be some people injured later on, you'll have to help 
deal with it!
Youzen: Huh...?

[174]
Genshi: Today, you don't have to help Taikoubou,
Let him deal with Chou Koumei by himself!

Youzen: Why...

Youzen: Why's that?
Shishu is like a normal human now, he can't use his paopei, 
right!?

Genshi: That was a lie!

Youzen: A lie?
Genshi: Did you really think that overusing a paopei will 
cause one to lose their powers?

[175]
Genshi: It's about time he tried his best and show what he's 
really capable of!

KiHatsu: Try his best?
That weakling, Taikoubou, even if he tried his best, that's 
not much to speak of...

Youzen: No...
He's a very strong person!

Youzen: It's just that of all the battles up till now, he's 
never had the chance to really show anything!
As far as I know, he's only been really serious during the 
three times when he faced off with Shinkouhyou, Dakki and 
Bunchuu.

Youzen: He is the first disciple of Master Genshi Tenson, 
after all, having the same rank as the Twelve Sennin...
Heheheh... even if he doesn't look like it...

Youzen: But he's always acting like he's very weak,
In all honesty, even I have no idea what his true strength is!

[176]
Youzen: So, this is a chance for me to see something new!!
A battle with no limits, a battle with Chou Koumei...!!

Taikoubou: Hey! Chou Koumei!

Taikoubou: Give Sipuxiang back to me!
Or else, I'll use every means possible to defeat you!

[177]
Taikoubou: !

Taikoubou: Sipuxiang...
Does this mean all that's left is your nose...

ChouKoumei: Taikoubou! That hour glass is made from crystal forged 
by high level paopei.
It can only be broken by a natural born doushi who can't use 
paopei.

ChouKoumei: But, come to think of it, you can't use paopei yourself 
either, at this moment...
Was that part of your plan too?

[178]
Taikoubou: That will end now, anyhow!

Taikoubou: Jiii!!

ChouKoumei: As powerful as I imagined!

[179]
Taikoubou: Sipuxiang! Sorry to let you wait so long!
Sipuxiang: Goshujin...

Sipuxiang: Go to hell!!
Moron!!

Taikoubou: What are you doing?! Aren't I here to rescue you!?
Sipuxiang: What took you so long, I thought I was going to die for 
sure!!

Sipuxiang: Ahh...

Sipuxiang: Goshujin, why is it that you can still use the 
Dashinben?
After the last battle, you couldn't use paopei, right?

[180]
If a normal human uses paopei, he'd be sucked dry like a 
mummy.

Ah...but...
Goshujin, who is powerless, can still wield his paopei...

Sipuxiang Were you lying to us...!?
Taikoubou: Ahh... that's enough, I had no choice, right...

ChouKoumei: Oh... is that so?
And here I was thinking all of this is your plan!

ChouKoumei: You lied to your own comrades in order to raise their 
fighting spirits?
Am I right?

Taikoubou: Why, yes!

ChouKoumei: Ah well! How about this...
I've prepared some food in the next room!

[181]
ChouKoumei: This is a fine delicacy of Mustard Spice Sauce Beef Bourguignon.
Taikoubou: Oooooh!!

ChouKoumei: Does French cuisine suit your palate?
Taikoubou: This is delicious, as long as it's edible, it's great!

ChouKoumei: That's wonderful!

[182]
ChouKoumei: But, Taikoubou!
Why do you fight?

Maid: This is Tofu Steak with Wine Sauce!
Taikoubou: Tasty~~!!

Taikoubou: .........

Taikoubou: In order to kick the evil sennin out of the Human World!
The Human World doesn't need sennin.

[183]
ChouKoumei: ..................

ChouKoumei: I can't understand this at all,

ChouKoumei: We fight, just for the sake of fighting!
Isn't that enough?

ChouKoumei: Why do you care so much about the Human World?
Really, I have no interest at all in what I do for Dakki and 
Bunchuu.

[184]
ChouKoumei: For me, a glorious battle means everything!
A battle for a purpose, how tasteless!

ChouKoumei: Come...!

Taikoubou: How interesting, but...
Even if we spend another thousand years, our ideas will never 
reconcile.

[185]
ChouKoumei: Perhaps so!

ChouKoumei: All of you, retire, we're done eating here.
Maids: Yes, sir.

ChouKoumei: But, Taikoubou...
I heard that you're a dead-set rival against the most powerful 
doushi, Shinkouhyou!

Taikoubou: Feh... nonsense!
(Sipuxiang, step back!)

ChouKoumei: Dakki and Bunchuu think very highly of you too!
Why is it that all these powerful individuals think so highly 
of you?

[186]
ChouKoumei: This is something I have yet to understand...
So, let me test you, to see if you are worthy of being my 
opponent!

Taikoubou: !

ChouKoumei: Come!! My darling little sisters!!

Taikoubou: This is...!?

[187]
Unshou: I'm the oldest girl, Venus!!

Keishou: I'm the second girl, Queen!!

Hekishou: And I'm the third girl, Madonna!!

[188]
Unshou: The 3-person sex idols group, Unshou Three Sisters!!

Unshou Three Sisters
Chou Koumei's younger sisters. The three sisters beauties who 
use the super paopei "Kinkousen" and "Kongenkinto".

ChouKoumei: Unshou, Keishou, Hekishou, I'm counting on you, my 
darling sisters!
Unshou: Call me Venus!!
I hate it! Brother, don't call me by my real name, it's so 
plain!!

Taikoubou: Sipuxiang, help....
