flowers on the battlefield part 4

Adonis: In any case. We can't really leave Tenma like that. If he keeps sitting in the wetland, his clothes will get soaked.
 

Adonis: You'll catch a cold, you know. Even though you have to perform at the "Wisteria Festival".
 

Adonis: Tenma. Stop sulking and come here. It's okay, we're your allies.
 

Mitsuru: Ado-chan-senpai........ mmmm~, I'm not really sulking.
 

Adonis: All sulky people say that.
 

Arashi: Exactly. Come here, Mitsuru-chan...... we won't scold you ♪
 

Arashi: There's a graze on your knee. I'll fix that right up.
 

Mitsuru: Mmm~........ This much doesn't hurt, it'll heal with time.
 

Arashi: No can do. Places like Kachouen are full of bacteria. If you don't treat it, germs will infect your wound.
 

Arashi: But it's not as if it's bad having so much bacteria around. They're not artificial, they're part of nature's beauty. 
 

Souma: Fufu. I'd like it if Captain-dono would also come up from the pond. I have a "towel", so please use that to dry your body.
 

Chiaki: Exactly, Kanata. That place is for birds or flowers. You're supposed to be on stage.
 

Chiaki: You promised to do what you could to succeed*, right?

 

*T/N: Literal translation is "fight in your own world", but I found that a little strange. Quick search came up with this alternative meaning. Do let me know I'm wrong.

 

Kanata: Yes, yes...... I remember, Chiaki.
 

Kanata: Shall we go? Ummm, Mitsuru......?
 

Kanata: I'll "carry" you. Since you hurt your leg.
 

Mitsuru: Uh, thank you......?
 

Mitsuru: Ehehe. Onii~san, why were you splashing around in the pond? Was it fun?
 

Kanata: It was really fun~. Bathing makes me feel revitalized.
 

Mitsuru: I see, I feel like I'm really "living" when I run ♪
 

Chiaki: Mmmm. I'm happy that a sea dweller and continental creature are having a rare conversation, but......
 

Chiaki: We're really in a hurry, so come over, more people are starting to stare at us.
 

Chiaki: Also, I'm scared that Kanata might pull Tenma-kun to the bottom of the pond and keep him there.
 

Kanata: I won't do such a thing. I'm not an evil "monster", you know?
 

Mitsuru: Kya! Kya! ☆  Being carried by someone is fun~ ♪
 

Mitsuru: But. I still prefer to walk with my own feet.
 

Mitsuru: Juuuuump~, and land! I'm back~! Arashi-chan-senpai, Ado-chan-senpai ♪
 

Adonis: Welcome back, Tenma. You're covered in mud......
 

Adonis: Let's borrow a shower room and have you wash off the mud first. If there's no such room, then worst case, we'll use a hose.
 

Arashi: Fufu. Perhaps because it's Kachouen, or maybe because they need to water the flowers, but there are water pumps scattered here and there.
 

Arashi: Like a work of art, they look like they're casually placed so they don't destroy the view of passerbys ♪ 
 

Mitsuru: Arashi-chan-senpai sure is sharp-sighted~. Sorry, did I worry you......?
 

Arashi: Yes, you did. You ran so suddenly that I was quite startled, you know?
 

Mitsuru: Sorry. I was competing with that Captain person on who could do a lap around Kachouen first.
 

Mitsuru: There was a narrow road right next to the wall surrounding Kachouen, so you can circle the park, you see~?
 

Arashi: You really like that sort of thing...... some~how, haven't you been competing with Mama every time you see him?
 

Arashi: What, is it because you're upset about losing to him every time? Well, you are a boy ♪
 

Mitsuru: That's wrong. Up until now, I've won every match.
 

Adonis: I see. That's amazing, Tenma.
 

Mitsuru: It's not....... That person's definitely holding back.
 

Mitsuru: I had Anzu-nee~chan search up his records.
 

Mitsuru: Whether it's long-distance running, short-distance running, long jumping, or even shot putting, he's beaten me in everything.
 

Mitsuru: Yet. Whenever we fight, he loses on purpose. It's frustrating~, it feels like he's treating me like a kid.
 

Arashi: Ahhh, that's why you've been angry, or should I say unsatisfied, lately...... You're angry that Mama isn't taking it seriously, right?
 

Arashi: But you know. I don't think he's trying to make fun of you or anything.
 

Arashi: There's a huge gap between your ages and body sizes, so if he goes at it seriously, he would completely flatten you.
 

Arashi: He doesn't want to hurt you, maybe.
 

Mitsuru: Hmph. Arashi-chan-senpai, you're like that too......?
 

Mitsuru: You always say you're going to do everything "halfheartedly~", but for me who's doing my best, it's just mean!
 

Chiaki: Sorry for interrupting. As a defense, you should know that Mikejima-san always loses any fights he picks.
 

Chiaki: Wins and losses don't really seem to be his objective.
 

Chiaki: I don't really understand his intentions. The people he chooses to compete with are always those he's the most interested in at that particular moment.
 

Chiaki: He must've seen a sparkle in you Tenma-kun, so that's why he chose to "play" with you a bit.
 

Mitsuru: Hmm~. Still, one-sidedly doing all of that......
 

Mitsuru: And then moving on after he's satisfied with whatever he finds is, well, I don't know what to think about it.
 

Mitsuru: It's kind of like being made a toy and then getting thrown away. It makes me irritated.
 

Kanata: Mmm~, I guess that's true....... If you have any "complaints", then you should use your "mouth" and "tell" him properly.
 

Kanata: We....... no, not just us, but anyone "wouldn't know" unless they were told.
 

Kanata: After all, everyone's living in different "worlds".
 

Kanata: Especially. People like us* or that "rogue" are...... living in "far away", almost surreal places.

*T/N: Pretty sure he means the "Five Oddballs".

Kanata: Even if he doesn't fully understand your "feelings", please don't get too mad at him......
 

Kanata: Not being able to understand others makes even us "sad".
