[143]
Youzen: What is that...

Sipuxiang: Hm....

Genshi: That little brat... he's finally showed himself...

Bukichi: Ahh...
Ahh....

[144]
Bukichi: Master--!!

105. Middle Boss Battle 7
     -Surrounded in the Middle-


[145]
Taikoubou: Hi...

Taikoubou: I'm not sure why I'm here either...
Youzen: Ah!
Youzen: Help us break free from this flower...

Taikoubou: Jiii!!

Youzen: !!

[146]
That wind from the ground...
Was that because the Dashinben's power has increased!?

Bukichi: Master---!!
Taikoubou: Bukichi!

Taikoubou: Sorry to have made you worry!

Youzen: Too bad...
I thought with you dead, I could become the main character...

Taikoubou: Since you're still joking around, I see you must be fine, 
Youzen...

Taikoubou: But, Sipu...

Sipuxiang: Fool!
I'm right here!

[147]
Taikoubou: Huh?

Taikoubou: HUH~~~~~?!

Taikoubou: I never expected this!
When I was near death, such fun things were happening around 
here...

Youzen: That wasn't fun at all, Shishu!
Everyone was trying hard!!

Youzen: How did you escape death anyway?
Even with the "Ball of Revival", once the soul flies away, it 
won't return!

Taikoubou: Hm....
It's a long story... I'll tell you later...

[148]
Taikoubou: Let's think about how to deal with Chou Koumei first!
Really, even his true form is so weird and outlandish...

Youzen: Do you have any ideas?

Taikoubou: What if you transform into Tenka and use the Karyuuhyou 
to burn him...
Youzen: I thought of that too, but Chou Koumei is reproducing 
so fast, how can we burn it all?

Taikoubou: How could you attack without planning...

Taikoubou: No choice,
At this point, perhaps we will have to use that...

[149]
Sipuxiang: Hmmmm....
What are you going to do, Taikoubou!?

Taikoubou: Hey!
Chou Koumei!?

Taiitsu: That huge plant must be Chou Koumei's true form.
We have to go and help Taikoubou!

Taiitsu: Eh?

[151]
Sengyoku: Uwaahhhh~~~!!!!!
Aaaahhhhhhhh~~~~~~!!

ChouKoumei: Can you really defeat the invincible me!?
Sengyoku: And it... talks too.....
Aaaaaahhhhhh~~~~~!

Nataku: Eh!?

[152]
Sengyoku: What is this.... it's disgusting---!!
Tenshou: Argh!!

Taiitsu: It must be the roots of that plant!!
KouTenka: Why are you hiding...

ChouKoumei: Heheh...

[153]
ChouKoumei: Do you see it! Do you see!!
There's going to be even more of the beautiful me!!

Youzen: Oh no, more seeds are...!!
Bukichi: Aaahh--!!

Bukichi: Master, think of something quickly...!!
Youzen: Shishu!!

Taikoubou: I know already!

Taikoubou: Excuse me, Youzen, Bukichi, you'll have to get off of 
Sipu.
Wait over there by the Three Sisters for a chance!

[154]
Taikoubou: Sipu and I will be going up there for a bit!

Youzen: Up there...
I see!

Youzen: ----But, will that work?
Taikoubou: Hmm... you're observant as ever, Youzen.

Taikoubou: Hm! We'll have to try it and see!
If you still have the power to, watch over those three 
sisters, don't let them create trouble.

Taikoubou: Let's go, Sipu!!

[155]
Doukoson: Hey, isn't that the Porsche!?
He's rising up!!

KouTenka: ---I don't know what's going on either, we'll let 
Shishu handle it!!
I don't know how to handle this huge flower either!!

Genshi: ............

Genshi: Taikoubou...
We're counting on you!

[156]
Taikoubou: ............
Sipu....

Taikoubou: You've become rather cool!

Sipuxiang: Heh...
Was that a compliment!?

Sipuxiang: But, how much further do we have to go?
We're already very high up!

Taikoubou: Not high enough!
We have to go higher!!

[157]
Sipuxiang: Ahh... it's really cold here... the temperature is 
somewhere below zero!
I've formed a barrier shield so I can't tell for sure!

Sipuxiang: We're going to freeze to death!
Taikoubou: And the air is getting thinner too...

[158]
KouTenka: He's not kidding around...
This plant... 

KouTenka: It's getting bigger!

ChouKoumei: Where has Taikoubou gone, come on out!!
Victory must be decided!!

[159]
Taikoubou: .........
This will do, Sipu!

Sipuxiang: Could it be Taikoubou...
Are you serious about this...?

Taikoubou: Look, Sipu!
The Dashinben is bigger than before!

Taikoubou: Our powers have increased due to the "Ball of Revival". I 
suppose this Dashinben must have as well!!
I'm going to eliminate Chou Koumei completely!

[160]
Taikoubou: Farewell, Chou Koumei!!
You're quite an interesting guy, after all!!

Taikoubou: JII!!!

[161]
Youzen: It's coming!!

Genshi: Taiitsu, it's coming! Shield yourself!
Taiitsu: Eh... Master Genshi Tenson? What's coming? What?
