Chapter 9 Episode 1/1-3 - Storyline

The Trustor and the Trusted
Tanosuke	...
Amane	Captain Tanosuke! You were here too.
Tanosuke	I knew you were here, but we've been passing each other, me in the main camp and you in the detachment. How are you? Hey, have you grown a little taller?
Amane	I haven't grown up yet... But still...
Young Demons	...
Amane	Good to see you all looking well.
Tanosuke	Hahaha! They are the best in sturdiness, you know!
Young Demon	No, no, it's pretty tough! The Fallen... Datta ka? Their corruption doesn't work on us, so we have to take care of the last part!
Tanosuke	That's how much they value you. That's a good thing.
Young Demon	Really? Really!?
Amane	You're really doing well, aren't you?
Tanosuke	So, what do you want? We're still in the middle of a war. You didn't come here just to say hello, did you?
Amane	No. I am about to go to the place of death, a battlefield where I don't even know if I will return alive.
Tanosuke	...
Amane	Will there be that nigiri rice?
Tanosuke	Yes... Hahahaha!
Amane	You don't have to laugh so much! I am serious...!
Tanosuke	I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll talk about life and death with a serious face. It's true, rice doesn't get around here very often! Here's a nigirimeshi I made with rice I brought from Wadatsumi. I made it myself, so I can't guarantee the taste.
Amane	What are the ingredient?
Tanosuke	Dried plum.
Amane	Salmon...
Tanosuke	Don't be selfish...
Amane	Thanks anyway... Logi is very nervous. I hope this helps.
Tanosuke	...
Amane	Wah, wah! Don't pat me on the head! I am not a child anymore!
Tanosuke	I knew it, you're not as I thought... You've grown a little taller.
Amane	Captain Tanosuke...?
Tanosuke	Here you go, bring as much as you have, and eat it while it's still warm.
Amane	Oh, thank you...
Tanosuke	You, too, want some?
Louis	...
Amane	Louis? How long have you been there?
Louis	No, I'll pass. We just finished resupplying a few minutes ago. Our unit is very light. I mean, I don't want to be tempted with too much food... My business will be done soon.
Amane	This is... the Sacred Stone Mammon! Are you sure, Louis?
Louis	Of course I'm sure... You need it to get into that tower, don't you? Then you should have it.
Amane	But to give it up in the current political unrest in Greed Dike is...
Louis	I know, but it's also an ordeal I have to bear.
Amane	I see. I understand.
Louis	...
Amane	Louis?
Louis	It's just an unfinished business. Don't worry about it.
Amane	No, it's impossible to say "don't worry about it" with the way you said it. I heard that men who think they're being thoughtful are disliked.
Louis	Ugh... I guess so... Shangdi's memory hasn't come back yet. The doctors spoon-fed it to her. "The chances of her memory returning while she is still alive are slim to none."
Amane	Okay.
Louis	Actually, that's one of the reasons I gave up Mammon. When I have that stone, I think to myself... "Maybe this stone can help me get Shangdi's memory back." That's a bit effeminate.
Amane	That's...
Louis	That's why I'm not ready. Let me break it off.
Amane	Yes, the Sacred Stone Mammon, you have indeed entrusted it to me.
Louis	Thank you.
Amane	Well, I'll take my leave now. Good luck to both of you!
Tanosuke	...
Louis	... ...
Tanosuke	Want some onigiri?
Louis	Sorry... Just one...
