Brood Parasite 3

Keito: Excuse me. Do you mind if I come in?

Yuzuru: Oh my, Vice President-sama. It’s gotten quite late; you must be working hard ♪

Keito: Oh, Fushimi. Thanks for letting me in. ...What’s with that sour expression? It’s not like you. Is something bothering you?

If it’s okay with you, I can try to give you advice.

Yuzuru: Sigh. Well, it’s just... my apologies, but might it be possible for you to give a few words of reprimand to Hibiki-sama?

His way of handling my master is rather coarse, to put it lightly.

Keito: This is about Hibiki? A little birdie told me about it, but I can’t believe he’s actually practicing with you guys...

The Five Oddballs basically only ever do what they want; they have no respect for rules. And yet?

Wataru: Fufufu! I began this to satisfy my simple curiosity, but I am having ever more fun with each passing moment... ☆

Come on, is that all you’ve got? You surely haven’t reached your limits yet! Scrape the bottom of the barrel; show me ever more!

You are my comrade, are you not? If this is the extent of what you can do, I can’t even cast you in a minor role!

All right, I want to see your motivation! With a one, a two, Amazing! the human body breaks through all limits! Now you try: a one, a two, Amazing ☆

Tori: Gyaaaaaaah?! Ow, ow! Owowowow!

Nooo, stop it! I–I’m gonna tell Mama and Papa! You’re not gonna get away with this!

Ow! I told you it hurts! I don’t even think humans can bend this way?!

Wataru: No? It is true that the world is bound by those pesky laws of physics, but within their bounds nothing is impossible for humans!

The human body is the universe itself! And with love, all things are possible!

Love, that is to say, amore! And that is transformed into Amazing!

Don’t you understand? Don’t you see? Yes, everything is moved by love! Ahahahahaha... ☆

Keito: Hey. Cut that out, Hibiki. Himemiya’s basically frothing at the mouth.

Don’t get so carried away. You should try to be nicer to your kouhais.

You don’t have to coddle them, but training the next generation is an investment for the future.

No matter how you look at it, though, it’s unacceptable. The new students who you kicked out of your drama club have been submitting complaints to the student council.

...If you take it too far, I’ll be forced to disband the club.

Wataru: What’s this? I kicked them out? What slander! They left on their own when they found they couldn’t keep up with me!

They need only shake free of gravity and ascend into the night sky filled with those elusive stars... ☆

Ah, how heart-rending! I’m bleeding out, for my beloved children have been ripped away from me!

So really, you ought to pity me! What a tragedy this is... ☆

Hm? Well, look who it is! The right-hand has paid a visit ♪

Good evening to you! You’re sporting such tasteful glasses today, I see!

I have a mask collection of my own, you see. Perhaps we could show them off to each other sometime ♪

Keito: Absolutely not. I have no intention on getting chummy with a troublemaker who threw Yumenosaki Academy into disarray.

...Not that I care, but are you calling me the right-hand?

Wataru: Oh my, is it not to your liking? Then I shall amend it, with love! How about Migi? ♪

Keito: This isn’t Parasyte. ...Talking to you exhausts me.^[1]

Wataru: Ahaha~ Nevertheless, you make such earnest attempts to play with me. I do quite like you because of that.

Keito: Is that right. For my part, I quite hate you.

Tori: ...Guh? Huh? Did... did I pass out?!

Yuzuru: Sir! Are you all right? What’s my name? How many fingers am I holding up? Oh, sir! What a tragedy...!

Tori: Gyeh, quit it! Don’t cling to me, Yuzuru! At least not in public! My dignity’s on the line!

Yuzuru: Oh, you poor thing! It’s all right now! Yuzuru will stay right by your side! Please, don’t worry, sir! Here, have a hug... ☆

Tori: Eugh, I just told you to stop clinging! You’re hurting me! You are way way way too strong, so stop it!!!

Yuzuru: Hibiki-sama, what do you think you’re doing here? You claimed it was necessary for training, so I have stood by patiently, but this is enough!

This is pure cruelty; my master is an important person who will one day head the Himemiya house! Choose your response carefully, because I will not easily overlook this!

Not a drop of blood, nor an inch of your flesh will ever be found! This Fushimi Yuzuru will clean you up thoroughly...!

Wataru: My, how scary. Perhaps it would be fun to play with you a bit, as well~ Not to worry, though! I was merely performing an evaluation of your child here ♪

It was difficult to grasp his true form, what with all that pride, shame, and unnecessary braggadocio he was so covered up in.

I was merely trying to tear away all of those things that were in my way. A person’s truth is revealed under extreme circumstance, after all ☆
