Previously: The Jingweon Mafia orders Han Joon-gi to kill Ryuji to avoid conflict with the Tojo Clan 7 years too early. Now with 3 groups aiming for Ryuji’s death, they decide to work together. In between Ryuji and Joon-gi angsting, Takayama prodding the story into an actual BL drama, and Kuze just wanting to go home already, Ichiban takes action and turns Ryuji into swiss cheese and dumps him in the river, much to everyone’s shock.

Sorry for the delay! Urgent stuff IRL came up D: but we’re finally here! Final chapter alt title:”Greatness and freedom are sadly mutually exclusive”. No particular spoilers as far as I can tell, but throwbacks to what happened in previous chapters :D

CHAPTER 6-1

.

Ryuji: “Uugh . . . gohaack . . . ! Gohagh . . . . . . guh . . . . . .”

{There’s loud splashing as a body is dragged out of the water.}

Ryuji: “Ugh . . . . . .”

?: “. . . . . . Geez, you’re a big guy.”

----

Ryuji: “. . . . . . ugh . . .”

Ryuji: “. . . . . . . . . why am I alive . . .”

Suspicious Man: “Ooh, you really woke up.”

Ryuji: “Ah . . . ?”

Suspicious Man: “Don’t move. Your wounds haven’t closed yet. You need complete bed rest for another month, if you don’t want to die.”

Ryuji: “. . . you a doctor?”

Underground Doctor: “Underground. Now let me have a little look.”

{Ryuji grabs the doctor.}

Underground Doctor: “Uguh . . . ?! It-It hurts . . .”

Ryuji: “Who told you to help me?!?! Ya dumbass!!!!”

Underground Doctor: “Guh . . . ! Le-Let go . . . !”

{The door creaks open.}

?: “Oi, oi! What are you doing?!”

Kasuga: “What the hell are you doing to your lifesaver, you idiot! Let go of him quickly!”

Ryuji: “. . . . . . You?”

Underground Doctor: “Uguh!”

{Ryuji drops the doctor to the floor.}

Kasuga: “O-Oi, don’t stand up! Why are you getting up . . .”

Ryuji: “You . . . did something so unnecessary . . . ?”

Kasuga: “If that’s how you see it, why not treat me to yakiniku then?”

Ryuji: “Looking down on me, you . . .”

Kasuga: “Is that wrong? What a shame.”

Ryuji: “Stop running your mouth . . . or I’ll do it for ya!!!!”

Kasuga: “Sorry Sensei, we’ll be making a bit of noise.”

Underground Doctor: “Geez . . . adding insult to injury.”

{Ichiban wipes the floor with Ryuji.}

Ryuji: “Guh . . . ! Shit . . . !”

Kasuga: “You’re still moving . . . ? The Omi is anything but a mere injured fellow. But—oraaa!!”

{Ichiban hits Ryuji one more time. Ryuji collapses.}

Kasuga: “As expected, I can’t lose to a dying opponent. Sleep for a while and cool your head. Stupid guy.”

Ryuji: “Ugh . . . shit . . . . . .”

----

Ryuji: “Ugh, guh . . .”

Kasuga: “Hmm . . . ?”

Kasuga: “Ooh . . . you’re up?”

Ryuji: “! Whose side are ya on . . . ?!”

Kasuga: “What, is it this again?”

Ryuji: “. . . . . . tch.”

Kasuga: “Sensei is out right now. Please apologize to him later.”

Ryuji: “. . . . . . Why did ya help.”

Kasuga: “. . . . . . Ah . . . that’s right. ‘Once the mind is made up on killing the enemy, I will track you down and kill you even to the utmost ends of the earth’ . . . that’s my motto.”

Ryuji: “. . . ah?”

Kasuga: “The ‘mind is made up’ is the miso. Who decides whether or not I should kill you? Is it Oyassan? Or those from the head family?”

Ryuji: “Oi . . . what are ya saying?”

Kasuga: “Well, listen. I’m not good at explaining. I always thought I play as the bullet, and someone else is the trigger. But that’s not the case. Before I left Tokyo, Oyassan said this to me. ‘See, listen, and think about whether to kill . . . you decide, Ichi’.”

----

Kasuga: “Decide for myself . . . ?”

Arakawa: “That’s right.”

Kasuga: “But Oyassan, if I think I don’t want to kill the target . . . ?”

Arakawa: “Then pretend you killed them properly and let them escape overseas.”

Kasuga: “. . . . . .”

Arakawa: “Ichi . . . this is the first time you’ve done a ‘killing’ job. So I wanted to tell you. We are being used and will be thrown away. That’s how it is. But—we are the ones holding the gun. Don’t become the bullet that only flies.”

Kasuga: “. . . !”

Arakawa: “See, listen, and think about whether to kill . . . you decide, Ichi. That is our creed.”

Kasuga: “. . .”

Arakawa: “In the end, if you decide to kill the target—”

Kasuga: “—kill him even to the utmost ends of the earth.”

Arakawa: “Heh. You got that?”
