-1 Mig
[Creak] Rogue -- hey, brother!
-2 Mig
Mink and her lackies have reached the island!!
-3 Rogue
Hmmm, you didn't knock.
Mig
Agh -- !! You're building another combat robot -- quit it!! Your robots never work right!!
-4 Mig
[Sweep] [Beeeee] [Clanks] Your last, a giant cleaning robot, ran amuck and destroyed one third of the castle!!
-5 Rogue
[Wince] It's alright... this time I'm being more careful.
113
-1 Rogue
... What's this? I have two screws left over.
Mig
.....
-2 Rogue
Now that Mink has memorized the Kaioh Tribe's scroll, it may cause trouble for me and Mig, if we fight her directly.
-3 Rogue
There... the skeletal structure is done. "The android soldier for dealing with Mink: Nibble-08."
Mig
Ummm, isn't this an important spare part you want to include, brother?
-4 Rogue
Oh... let me see that.
-7 Rogue
[Toss] [Can: rubbish] Ah, poit (sound effect of a small thing hitting the ground.)
Mig
Brother -- !!
114
-1 Mink
Finally, we made it... The Demon King's Island.
-2 Mink
All - right, we can now fight the Great Demon King!!
Chorus
[Grunt] Yea -- !!
-3 Paul
[Rustle] Mink... I'll give you this!! Through my own investigation, I've made up this map for you.
-4 Mink
Wow!! Thank you!
Paul
Heh heh... It's a good piece of reference work.
-6 Map
[This region is uncharted; Boat Dock; Wall]
115
-1 Mink
.....
Pia
Do you really think this is USEFUL, you useless person!!
Paul
Gulp!!
-2 Paul
Right. I don't know so much about the details, but I've got the rough outline!! I'm sure there's no traps around here -- !!
-3 Paul
[Zip] Wahhh!!
-4 Paul
... This wall is a problem.
-5 Paul
This wall is... there is no way for a trespasser to enter, and it completely encompasses the island.
-6 Paul
[Throw] As for above... There's the forcefield.
116
-1 Paul
The only way in is to go around to the other side, where you'll have to defeat the Gate Keeper to get through the door beside her.
-2 Suzuki
Well, a visitor for the Great Demon King-sama.
-3 Mink
Eh,... ah... yes.
Suzuki
And whom, may I ask, is calling?
-4 Rufa
[Whisper whisper whisper] Give her a false name, and she'll just let you through.
Mink
Ah!! That's right.
-5 Paul
[Pose] This girl is Mink, and she's here to beat the Great Demon King!!
-6 Mink
......
Rufa
...... old fool.
-7 Suzuki
[Glower] I see... So this is the great Mink-san...
117
-1 Suzuki
[Stand] I... am the receptionist, Suzuki. [Nameplate: Reception]
Mink
Huh!? .. ok.
-2 Suzuki
I'm sorry, without your permission, but you are supposed to be killed.
-3 Mink
I... I don't want that.
-4 Sousar
If you try one bite: as delicious as an electric shock (ie -- stimulating) -- Lightning Chocolate!!
-5 Voice
Right -- cut!!
118
-1 Guy 1
It was a good shoot. Have a good day.
Guys
Have a good day --.
Sousar
Have a good day.
-2 Locker
[Changing Room] [D -- Sousar]
-3 Sousar
[Flap] Whew -- ...
-4 Sousar
Long time, no see, Sonic.
-5 Sousar
I'm disappointed.
Sonic
You found me out.
-6 Sonic
I tried taking a picture of you while you were changing, once, to sell to your fans. But it failed.
Sousar
......
-7 Sousar
[Click click click] Anyway,... I'm glad you came here to see me.
-8 Sousar
[Grab] Hey!
Sonic
You don't me to do this?
119
-1 Sonic
Err, Sousar, you've targetted three Kaiser Dragons. Titan, Manu, and Mink.
-2 Sousar
[Pour] Ah.
Sonic
Don't kill Mink.
-3 Sousar
..... What!?
Sonic
Mink's a good kid. Your parents were killed by Titan; his grandchild, Mink, had nothing to do with that.
-4 Sousar
The Kaiser Dragons are a tribe of betrayers. If I let her go, she'll kill someone else.
-5 Sonic
..... You're a hard man, as usual. Mink is not a killer. Do you remember, at Shiva's Castle, dancing with a girl named Lora?
120
-1 Sousar
I remember... she was a very gentle girl.
-2 Sonic
According to my top secret "Beautiful Girl File"... [Book: Beautiful Girl File #1]
-3 Sonic
Mink and Lora both have blood type D. Both have two moles, one on their left elbows, and one below the belly button.
Sousar
Gulp...
Sonic
Their heights are 156 cm, with measurements of 82-55-86. Both are C-cups.
-4 Sonic
Their body weights and eye sight are identical... There can be no mistake, they are one and the same person.
-6 Sousar
If... that may be true, but I will still kill Mink.
-7 Sonic
What's wrong with you!! There's a 17 cm difference between their bust and underbust measurements. 17 cm!!
Sousar
What about it!!
121
-1 Sonic
Killing Mink won't bring your parents back.
-2 Sousar
You just don't understand. YOUR parents weren't the ones killed.
-3 Sonic
..... I see. ... Sorry.
-4 Sonic
[Click] I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry... sorry for interrupting you.
-5 Sousar
Ah... no... sorry. I said too much... I've made some tea, please have some.
-6 Sonic
You don't want me, such a senseless person, around right now.
Sousar
[Grab] Don't say that.
-7 Sonic
[Crack] Oops.
Sousar
That camera again.
122
-1 Suzuki
[Swish] [Flip] I'm sorry, because this is a personal affair, but...
-3 Suzuki
[Poke] If you pass on, I receive 3 weeks paid vacation, and a special bonus.
Mink
Yikes!
-4 Mink
Hell...
-5 Rufa
What a great strong body!! She even wears printed panties!
Paul
The pattern is a petite tomato!!
-6 Suzuki
[Splash] Please have some tea.
Mink
Yow -- !!
123
-1 Suzuki
How about a second cup...
-2 Mink
[Smolder]
-3 Mink
[Smash] Now, I'm mad!!
Suzuki
Shriek!?
-4 Suzuki
[Crumble] .....!! Wa... wait a little, please.
-5 Suzuki
We've already recognized your power. So, and... that...
-6 Suzuki
[Stomp] Kya!
Mink
Scream!!
-7 Suzuki
[Smack] I will use any means I can get away with... Please understand, I need the vacation time!!
124
-1 Suzuki
[Attack] [Wham] [Roll] Hah!
-2 Suzuki
!!
-3 Suzuki
Oh no!! The Monroland jacket my uncle bought for me got dirty!!
-4 Mink
...... eh so... sorry.....
-5 Suzuki
No apologies, please. Just take one more look at my business card.
Mink
Uh... ok.
-6 Suzuki
[Flick] An exploding business card!!
-7 Mink
[Ka-boom] Awk!!
-8 Suzuki
This is in revenge for the Monroland jacket!!
125
-2 Mink
Choke...
-3 Paul
Yee-haw -- you drove off the Gate Keeper!! We can finally get past the wall.
Mink
Right...
-4 Paul
This is the only way to get inside.
Rufa
Hmmmm.
-5 Rufa
What's that!?
-6 Others
A-hah! [Arch: Main Entrance]
126
-1 Nibble
Rogue-sama. Awaiting your orders.
-2 Mig
You dressed up the killer robot rather strangely...
-3 Mig
It looks good, but are you REALLY sure that it's not going to go berzerk?
Rogue
You are getting tedious. I hooked up your precious spare part, didn't I?
-4 Rogue
Look at this mechanical soldier... I have a feeling of satisfaction... I never had before. It is perfect. Nibble-08, please show us your Missile Punch.
-5 Nibble
Ok!
-6 Nibble
[Roar] Missile Punch!!
Rogue
All right.
Mig
What the hell do you mean -- "All right"!!
