My Name is Zushio Volume 3 Chapter 17 - Page 75 - Hansoku: Thank you for coming, Prince Zushio. Kayou told me the whole story. I am Hansoku, king of the realm. Let us forget our enmity and co-exist in peace. Zushio: (...um, what's enmity) Ruriie: {What a handsome king...!} (and so young) Boy: {His only problem is his tendency to dote on the queen too much...} Ruriie: It's a good thing he's not stupid like Zushio! Boy: Did you think all nobles were stupid? Kayou: My Liege, leaving Prince Zushio alive is allowing coals to remain that could eventually ignite another war... (what should we do?) Hansoku: Hmm... really? -000017- -It's the Royal Capital 2- - Page 76 - Hansoku: In that case, you are all SENTENCED TO DEATH! Ruriie: HE'S REALLY REALLY STUPID!!!! (d'oh!) -000017- -It's the Royal Capital 2- - Page 77 - Ruriie: A... are you even going to kill us?! Zushio: WAIT JUST ONE SECOND!! King Hansoku! These people are guilty of no crimes!! Please, I beg of you, let them go!! Mouth: I want meat! Zushio: {Aah...!! I... I can feel it on my back! The peasants' stares of respect and adoration at my heroic utterances...! They are overwhelmed with euphoria...} - Page 78 - Zushio: {Wait... I can see-?! A rift opening between us!!} Other Side: Victims' Side This Side: Dummy Nobles Side Zushio: {They're not looking this way... They are overwhelmed with despair...} Kayou: My... Do you want to save them THAT badly? - Page 79 - Kayou: Prince Zushio, you must therefore convince Princess Anju to come here. Then those children will be set free. Let's let Prince Zushio off for a bit, King Hansoku. Hanzoku: But then he can get away. Kayou: Why don't we send my henchmen after him to make he doesn't try to escape... hmm? Henchman: Understood! Hansoku: ...it could make an entertaining diversion. - Page 80 - Kayou: Come back by sunset. That is when we will be executing these three! Zushio: Fuurai! You come, too!! Fuurai: Very well. I grow tired of this complacency! Zushio: LET'S GO, SILVER!! Guard: (that kid turned into a stick...?!) Kayou: ...whatever. - Page 81 - Zushio: GO! Hansoku: ...of course, he won't return. They'll clean him up, won't they? Kayou: ...I already sent the scouts ahead to take Princess Anju, 30 minutes ago. Hansoku: They are the ones to be pitied. I can see their faces contorted with hopelessness already...! (HA HA HA) Ruriie: (nyork!) Boy: {...her face is all contorted... Yeah... we've been abandoned.} - Page 82 - [SCOUTS] Scout: Captain! Aren't we going a little too fast for these mountain paths?! (I'm scared!) Captain: Fool! Silver is leaving from the capital 30 minutes behind us!! We must arrive at the destination before he can pass us!! Zushio: ...well, if I come back alone... I suppose Sister might be cross with me. - Page 83 - Zushio: (hmmmmm) Zushio's foot: (tap tap) Horses: (BA DA DUM)(BA DA DUM) Zushio: (how should I explain it?)

I thought I just heard Zushio's voice... Zushio: IS MY SISTER HEEF- Silver: *screech* (stop!) - Page 85 - Woman: Um... Princess Anju left quite a while ago. Why...? Zushio: (hey... could you tell me how to work your emergency brake next time?) My sister... is GONE?! (wobble...) - Page 86 - Zushio: It's all over... (cough cough) Woman: Er... what is?! Scouts: CAPTAIN RETRIEVED!! CAPTAAAAIN!! Woman: WHAT?! If you don't bring Princess Anju back before sunset, they'll kill my little boy, too?! - Page 87 - Woman: ...it's too early to give up! Give me a little time... I'll try to come up with something!! Captain: ...are they still inside the house? Scouts: Undeniably! A... are you all right, Captain? ...there have been no signs of activity from Prince Zushio, however. He will never make it by sunset!! Zushio: GO! Scouts: THERE HE GOES!! - Page 88 - Woman: I'm Princess Anju. [SHOCKING IMAGE] - Page 89 - Captain: SH-! Mask: (crack) Captain: SHE'S ALL OLD!! Scouts: CAPTAIN?! They're off to the capital, Captain!! Surely they're not going to claim that is the princess...! This must be a joke, it must be!! - Page 90 - [Back at the castle] Kayou: I didn't think you would simply show up on your own...! Anju: I don't generally look into my own future... But for this one occasion, I have come here because I did. Because I know that if I came here at this moment, - Page 91 - Anju: I would remain safe... Kayou's stomach: (gurgle...) Kayou: You must have seen me devouring you, right? In the future you predicted? Sexy brother and sister... (lick...) (they come to me just to be eaten...!) Maybe I should start by plucking out those eyeballs of yours and snacking on them. - Page 92 - Zushio: Take us to the tip of Red Castle, Silver! TOP SPEED!! Woman: Eeek! Zushio: At this rate, we won't make it in time!! Kayou: Are you ready? Princess Anju! Anju: (fwip) Kayou: Why are you backing off?! (you knew this would happen, didn't you?) - Page 93 - Arrow: Capital Zushio: HERE WE ARE!! THROW ME TOWARD THE CAPITAL WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT, SILVER!!!! Woman: Actually, this is the second time I've done this. Silver: [If you say so, pal!] Anju: Unfortunately for you, Queen Kayou, you cannot lay a finger on me! Kayou: (hguh?!)
