oh baby it's another Goromi event! this one's a board game with Nishida as our protagonist
the board music was Receive You the Madtype
I thought it was kind of funny that they were squeezing another Goromi event in when her character story and past event already covered............. basically every single moment available in YK1! but that's okay.
because this one doesn't take place in YK1
as a brief aside on pronouns, I’m sticking with she/her for any references to Goromi. the term for boss Nishida uses for her, 親父, is explicitly masculine in the same way that patriarch in english is, but I’m not factoring that in for this translation
I will put a content warning that there's a brief attempted sexual assault in this, it's only a few lines and is resolved very quickly but it is there
summary: It is 2006. Goromi is waiting for Kiryu to arrive at SHINE to help out a hostess so she can (once again) surprise him. Nishida has a date coming up, and in her boredom Goromi decides she'll teach him the secrets of a woman's heart.
[2006]
[After Kiryu Kazuma was released from prison….] (Tl note: the first time I completely blew past the fact that this said 2006 and not 2005. But I guess 2006 is technically after Kiryu was released from prison, so.)
Goromi: ……Kiryu-chan, you're takin' so long~.
Goromi: Nishida! Are ya absolutely sure ya actually emailed him?
Nishida: Y-Yes! I'm positive I did...
Goromi: Then why ain't he come here?
Nishida: Kiryu-san is… a really busy person, so… he must have gotten himself caught up in something…. (tl note: Nishida refers to Kiryu as Kiryu no ojiki, which is literally your uncle who is younger than your dad, and in yakuza terms usually means a patriarch less senior than your own. I'm going with -san for simplicity of showing he's being deferential)
Goromi: ……..Well, a burly guy like Kiryu-chan probably gets tons of invites.
Goromi: But I got all this time to kill~. …Nishida, ain't there just nothin' interesting?
Nishida: I-I guess so…
Goromi: Kaaa~… When there's a girl this cute with nothin' to do, ya oughta be helpin' her kill some time!
<phone buzzes>
Nishida: …! (tl note: this is literally the first time Nishida has looked not extremely worried)
Goromi: Oh! Is it from Kiryu-chan!?
Nishida: N… No, it wasn't.
Goromi: What the hell. Who's it from?
Nishida: Umm… well…
Goromi: …You're stallin'. Give it here!
Nishida: Ah…
Goromi: …"I had a lot of fun on our date on Saturday, Rina"… This is… Nishida, did'ya get yourself a girlfriend? (Tl note: it's not……….. it's not YK1 SHINE hostess and known lesbian Rina, right? it's a different Rina……. right???)
Nishida: No, it's not that serious…! We just met when I went to a group-dating event the other day…
Nishida: Then we emailed a little… and she ended up asking me out on a date…
Goromi: Ohh~… Seems like she's into ya. What kinda girl is she? And what do ya think of her?
Nishida: Umm… here's a picture from the group dating.
Nishida: She's a really sweet, attentive, and kind, and we get along… I think it'd be really great if we ended up dating…
Goromi: ………
Nishida: …Boss? Is something wrong? Is there something strange about the photo?
Goromi: …Just shocked. A beautiful lady like her is all but wasted on ya.
Nishida: …Y-Yeah, I think so too. I'm not even sure why she ended up contacting me at all…
Goromi: ….I got it! This situation calls for me to step in and help ya, yeah? (Tl note: Goromi is using "washi" as her personal pronoun here, which is what Majima usually uses when he's speaking as a boss, or "ore". Goromi usually goes with "watashi" but does use "ore" when Kiryu catches her off-guard)
Nishida: Eh?
Goromi: To make sure yer date goes well, I'm gonna teach ya all about a woman's heart!
Nishida: Eh…
Goromi: And I've got tooons of free time right now… aren't ya lucky~!
Goromi: Hang tight! This is gonna be "the heart of a woman: lesson 1"!
<Goromi leaves, presumably to make slides or get props or something>
Nishida: I-……… I have a bad feeling about this…
Nishida: I think my boss is just… doing something absurd to me to kill time while waiting for Kiryu-san to show up… (Tl note: lol this time it was actually -san. just gotta be EXTRA formal talking about Kiryu around Goromi, I guess)
Nishida: No… it's bad to assume. It's possible that my boss might honestly be trying to help me…
Nishida: …She said this was lesson one on a woman's heart… How many lessons is she planning?
<scene transition to later>
Goromi: …I've come~! And I've brought pleeenty of booze~! (Tl note: Goromi says お・ま・た~! which I presume is a shortening of お待たせしました as in "sorry to have kept you waiting" but omata on its own is uh. it's vulva. it's vulva and that sort of crotch area. hence my translation of trying to get some kind of weird double entendre there)
<sound of a cork popping>
Nishida: Wh-Why are you filling that tower of glasses with alcohol…
Goromi: I thought I'd show ya how to drink. I brought a buncha different kinds.
Goromi: Sake, shochu, wine, whiskey, cocktails, plum brandy, beer, take your pick! Go on, drink whatever ya want!
Nishida: A-Alright…
Nishida: (…Boss… did say she was going to teach me about the hearts of women… so does that mean this is a test?)
Nishida: (In that case… a cocktail is probably bad… that's something a girl would pick, I think…) (tl note: NISHIDA NO DON'T LOSE TO THE TOXIC MASCULINITY)
Nishida: …Boss. I'd like a whiskey and cola to drink, please.
Goromi: Ohh… Whiskey, huh…?
Nishida: Well then… cheers.
Nishida: (The way I drink will probably also be judged… the manly way to do it is in one shot…)
<horrible gulping sounds and the glass hitting the table>
Nishida: …Thank you!
Goromi: Oooh, yer a big drinker, huh?
Goromi: Although… did ya notice anythin' strange?
Nishida: Eh? Something strange…? Now that you mention it, the taste was a little bit peculiar…
<stomach noise>
Nishida: My… my stomach's… Wh-What did you put in that, boss!?
Goromi: Dumbass! You were so complacent ya didn't even realize that thing was fulla laxatives!
Nishida: L-Laxatives!? Why did you.. guhh…
Goromi: And now ya know lesson one of how women's hearts work: "I don't want to be with a man who would easily be poisoned to death!"
Goromi: If you're a man, ya gotta be cautious of anythin' that gets served to ya, cause ya could get poisoned!
Nishida: Th-That's… unreasonable…
Nishida: (…I think my worries were correct… She's just using me for amusement to kill some time…)
<stomach gurgling>
Nishida: Ughhh… S-Sorry… gotta… bathroom…
Goromi: …No can do. If ya wanna go to the bathroom, ya gotta beat up that guy.
Nishida: …Eh?
<footsteps>
Beefy Majima Family Member: …Sorry, Nishida no aniki. Boss says I gotta.
Nishida: Y-You…
Goromi: Now, after poisonin' ya, this ruffian's here to snatch your pretty girlfriend!
Goromi: Nishda! Endure that stomach ache 'n win! Show Goromi-chan somethin' good!
Nishida: Ughuugh… Y-Yes… boss!!!!
Beefy Majima Family Member: Well… I hope you'll forgive me, Nishida no aniki. (Tl note: I did shorten that name to "beefy member" and then reconsidered)
<fight happens>
<sounds of a toilet flushing>
Nishida: Haa… Haa… Just in the nick of time…
Goromi: Heh, ya gotta a lotta willpower to avoid havin' an accident like that, huh? Here, drink this so ya don't get dehydrated.
Nishida: Ah, some water? Thank you, Boss.
<drinking sounds>
Nishida: …What the… it's a little bitter…? Boss, what's up with this water--
<Nishida hits the ground>
Goromi: Dumbass! I just told ya, don't make it so easy to slip ya sleepin' pills like that!
Goromi: …When ya wake up, I'm gonna train ya until ya can identify every kind of poison by taste. Buckle up, buttercup.
Nishida: Uugh… uughhh… that's……. impossibleee….
<END PART 1>
[While waiting on Kiryu to finally arrive, Goromi learns of an upcoming date and uses her free time to instruct Nishida on the matters of a woman's heart.]
[After drinking poisoned booze, Nishida has learned lesson number one, "girls don't want guys who are easily poisoned".]
Nishida: (Boss… She told me to wait outside for the next lesson on a woman's heart…)
Nishida: (This lesson comes after poisoning… What sort of terrifying part of the female psyche is she going to teach…)
Goromi: I've come~ 🎶 (Tl note: yeah. yeah it's the same one. yeah)
Nishida: Ah, boss. What's the next lesson going to… be?
<Goromi appears with a whole army of goons>
Goromi: A woman's heart: lesson 2! "Obviously I like strong men 🎶"! (Tl note: this is probably the same line she says to Kiryu about her type of man, but I'm too lazy to double check OR look up what she exactly said in english)
Goromi: A man's not a real man at all if he ain't tough! Now you're gonna tussle with these guys!
Goromi: Smash up these ten opponents, and show a gal what she likes to see in a man!
Nishida: No… this is… just the boss's pastime…
Nishida: She said this was about a woman's heart… but this is more like training in a battle manga…
Goromi: Let's get it rollin'! Get it done nice 'n quick!
Goromi: Oi, everyone! No goin' easy just cause it's 10 on 1, I want everyone goin' all out against Nishida!
Majima Family Members: Roarrrrrrrr!!!!
Nishida: ….Crap… Guess there's no avoiding it…!
Nishida: Haa… Haa… (tl note: THIS WASN'T THE OBLIGATORY FIGHT? I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE FIGHT IS THERE ANOTHER??)
<a goon slides in>
Nishida: !?
<Nishida gets smacked>
Nishida: Guh…!
<A new goon slides in>
Majima Family Member A: Haa!
Nishida: Crap!
<Nishida steps away>
Nishida: Haa… Haa…
Nishida: (When there's this many opponents… while you're busy with one guy, another will circle around behind you…)
Nishida: (They're not that strong if I can take them on one by one, but I can't fight them properly when they're in my blind spots…)
Nishida: (What the hell do I do…)
Nishida: …..! That's it….!
Goromi: …Seems like ya figured it out.
Goromi: Everyone! What're ya standin' around for! Go beat the shit outta Nishida!
Majima Family Member A: Y-Yes!
<scene change>
Nishida: Yes… right here…
Majima Member A: Oi! It's too cramped to go together!
Majima Member B: Shit… this is… too narrow!
Nishida: (Yes… This narrow alleyway forces them to come down it one at a time…)
Nishida: (Since I don't have to keep watching my back, this negates their numbers advantage in close quarters.)
Nishida: …What's wrong, come at me! Otherwise it'll be the boss that's hitting you!
Nishida: …Time to go…! Nishida no aniki! Please don't hold this against me!
<actual fight time where you do indeed take on 10 goons>
Majima Member D: Gahh…
Nishida: Haa… Haa… Somehow… I won…
Goromi: Ya did it, Nishida! Now ya don't gotta be worried when ya get jumped by a buncha thugs!
Nishida: Um… I think I will still be worried…
Goromi: Well, if they really wanted ya dead they woulda done ya in the first time you stumbled…
Goromi: Eh, we'll call it good enough this time. Ya passed lesson 2 of a woman's heart, "Obviously I like strong men 🎶" !
Nishida: Th-Thank you very much…
Goromi: Now, this will be the final thing I can teach you about a woman's heart… A woman's heart: lesson 3… Are ya ready?
Nishida: Y…..Yes.
Nishida: (Next is the final one, huh…)
Nishida: (I figured that if she's just doing this to kill time, she'd get tired of these sorts of antics… but this is faster than I thought.)
Nishida: (But I can't let my guard down. Lessons 1 and 2 were seriously absurd… What on earth will lesson 3 be?)
<music changes to the more emotional soft track>
Goromi: A question for ya. Right now… what do ya think Goromi-chan wants? (Tl note: I misread it as "what do you think of Goromi-chan" at first and was like, so scared to continue. I was shook by the possibility of Goromi emotional vulnerability momence)
Nishida: …Eh?
Goromi: What's wrong? Answer already. I wanna know whatcha think I'm after.
Nishida: Eh… Well…
Nishida: (What do I say… The number one thing my boss would probably want is to fight with Kiryu-san.)
Nishida: (But, that would be way too easy for this quiz… what the hell… what is it…)
Goromi: …Figured out your answer?
Nishida: ………..
Nishida: ……Sorry, I don't know.
Nishida: I thought getting to fight Kiryu-san would be it, but… I'm not confident enough in that to commit to it.
Goromi: …Ya got it. "I dunno" is the right answer.
Nishida: Eh?
Goromi: The final lesson on women's hearts: "Don't presume to know a woman when you're only looking at one side of her".
Goromi: Every woman has her own circumstances.
Goromi: A woman who loves sweets can still have days where she wants something spicy, and there are women who will claim to hate what they actually like. (Tl note: .............................................................................hey when this is in direct response to Goromi's number one desire being a fight with Kiryu. there's. hmm.)
Goromi: So, don't look at just one aspect of a woman and think ya know everything about her, okay?
Goromi: Women are deeply complex, living beings, despite what men think. ...Got it?
Nishida: Y-Yes...! I will take your words to heart!
Goromi: ...Alright, good. I taught ya about the female psyche, so make good use of it on your date.
Nishida: Y... Yes!
Goromi: Well then, time to head back to the club. I got a feelin' that Kiryu-chan might be there soon.
<she leaves>
Nishida: While the other two were obviously farces... it feels like that last one was surprisingly genuine.
Nishida: Guess it makes sense, after she got tired of doing the absurd. But, that doesn't seem quite right... hmmm...
Nishida: Still, something to make use of on my date...
Nishida: "Don't presume to know a woman when you're only looking at one side of her" is good to keep in mind...
Nishida: But "I don't want to be with a man who would easily be poisoned to death!" and "Obviously I like strong men 🎶" are--
Nishida: Maybe not as helpful...
<END PART 2>
[I'm skipping the recap lol but today's the day of the date]
Rina: Hehe, I thought the same thing during the group date, but talking to you is really easy, Nishida-san...
Rina: I was really nervous to ask you out, but I'm glad I gathered up the courage 🎶
Nishida: Oh, nah... I was worried we wouldn't be that good of a fit, too.
Nishida: ........
Rina: ...? What's going on? You keep looking around the perimeter. Do you have a friend here?
Nishida: Ah, no... it's nothing. Sorry, it's just nerves.
Rina: Ah, no worries then! Really, I thought it was cute, you looked like a baby animal.
Nishida: C-Cute...? Is that so...
Nishida: (I can't tell her that I'm traumatized from my boss's training, and that I'm looking for a good spot to fight a pack of thugs...)
Nishida: (Or that I'm being cautious about drinking the water brought to me in case it's been poisoned...)
Nishida: (The boss's lessons on a woman's heart... my body sure remembers them, huh... ha...)
Rina: Ah, that's right! Listen to this! I'm not making this up, the other day at the park, I saw a squirrel-- (Tl note: I thought that was just, the end of her sentence at first. she's just REALLY excited about squirrels)
<scene transition to outside>
Rina: Nishida-san, your recommendation of restaurant was delicious! I'm definitely bringing all my friends there 🎶
Nishida: I'm glad. I like going there because it's fairly cheap while still being delicious.
Rina: Cheap and delicious restaurants are the best. I feel like it being cheap makes it taste even better, you know?
Nishida: Ah, I get you! It's really a question of mood. This restaurant here is also good. There's this pork fried with ginger and grated daikon on top--
Rina: Hehe, you sure know your eateries Nishida-san. I'll have to rely on you next time I can't decide where to go eat~.
Rina: ................So...... What are you doing after this? (tl note: NISHIDA SCORES?)
Nishida: Eh? Umm... What am I doing. Maybe... getting drinks?
Rina: ...Could we go somewhere to rest a bit? There's a place where we can talk slow and relaxed. (tl note: NISHIDA GETS SCAMMED?)
Nishida: Eh? Somewhere to rest and relax? That's...
Rina: Hehe... You'll have fun if you go. Come on.
<another scene transition>
Nishida: This is... the place?
Nishida: (BAR, huh... The hallway to the bathroom would be good to use if I'm outnumbered...) (Tl note: yeah the bar is named. BAR. in english. which is just great for translating)
Nishida: (I'm still hung up on my boss's training, it really messed me up... I'm not the protagonist of a battle manga...)
Rina: What do you think? I find it very relaxing, and since it's a hole-in-the-wall kind of place there's not crowded so you can really take your time and talk. (Tl note: very funnily hole-in-the-wall is fairly direct, the jpn being 穴場 or "hole place")
Nishida: Ahh, you're right, this is a very relaxing place.
Rina: Yeah. ...Hmm? Nishida-san, did you perhaps think it was something naughty? (tl note: well I sure did)
Nishida: N-No... I-It's nothing like that...!
Rina: Hehe, no need to panic. I just said it to make you conscious of it 🎶 (Tl note: struggling with the second sentence here, it's ふふっ、 慌てなくてもいいですよ。ちょっと意識させようと思って言いましたし🎶)
Nishida: Eh...?
Muscular Bartender: ...Are you ready to order?
Rina: For me, a kahlua milk!
Nishida: Umm... How about... Barley shochu. (Tl note: 麦の水割り, which probably has a better word for it but that's my best guess)
Bartender: ...Alright. Here's your kahlua milk and barley shochu.
Rina: Well then, kanpaiii 🎶
Nishida: Ahh, kanpai! (Tl note: Nishida why do you say kanpai in full kanji you fucking dweeb)
Nishida: (I keep thinking my boss might emerge from beneath the bar, so I'm worried about this drink being poisoned...)
Nishida: (There's no way it's actually poisoned... though... hmm... there's a bitterness...)
Rina: ...? Is something wrong, Nishida-san?
Nishida: No... it's just, this tastes like the sleeping pills my boss made me take...
Bartender: ....!
Nishida: Yep... My boss made me take sleeping pills over and over, and this... tastes exactly like those sleeping pills. I don't know why it would be sleeping pills...
Rina: IIII have no idea why that would be. Right, bartender?
Bartender: ...Sir, we are an upstanding business. We don't take false accusations lightly.
Nishida: Ah, no, I didn't even say you put them in there...
Nishida: But someone could have put them in there to cause trouble for you, so the police should check the other drinks to be sure
Bartender: ....Tch. Oi.
<a bunch of thugs jump out>
Nishida: !?
Bartender: You all, this guy's making up lies about us. Shake him down for some apology money to make up for it.
Nishida: No, I'm not accusing you of anything. All I'm saying is a quick confirmation--
Bartender: You all! Get him!
Nishida: (They aren't listening... I'm getting the feeling that the sleeping pills weren't in there on accident.)
Nishida: (I'm up against 4 opponents. If they surround me I'm done for..... that's it! I just need time.)
Nishida: Rina-san! Hide in the bathroom!
Rina: Uh... r-right!
Bartender: Wait! Do you really want to hide somewhere with no exit?
Bartender: ...What's the point...? Is he going to bunker down in the hallway...
Nishida: I know there's no way out of this... Only Rina-san will be hiding.
Nishida: (This narrow corridor in front of the bathroom, it'll force them to come one at a time. This is my only way to win.)
Bartender: ...Heh... You went through all that trouble to run, only to go for a narrow hallway with no way out.
Bartender: You'll regret ever speaking a single false word about my drinks!!!!
<fight time>
Bartender: S-... stupid...
<he hits the ground>
Nishida: Haa... Haa... That was close.
Nishida: If I didn't make use of those tight quarters, I would have been a goner as soon as they got behind me.
Nishida: All thanks to that training my boss gave me on fighting multiple opponents...
Nishida: And the fact that I had to drink sleeping pilsl and laxatives so I'd know what they tasted like... that ended up being useful too.
<the door opens>
Rina: N-Nishida-san... are you okay? ...Eh!? You... beat all of them?
Nishida: Yeah... somehow, I managed it. I think we should get out of here before they wake up.
Rina: Umm, no... I'm...
Nishida: ....? What's wrong?
Rina: I-It's... it's nothing... L-Let's go.
<back outside>
Rina: ...Yeah, I had no idea it was that kind of establishment. I really never thought they would attack you and try to take your money...
Nishida: ...Hey, Rina-san. Earlier, why did you want to stay in the bar?
Rina: Eh... th-that's... well...
Nishida: .........
Nishida: ............If... If you're... an accomplice to that bar, it would be a good idea to stop doing that.
Nishida: If you keep it up... I think you'll end up in a really bad situation some day.
Rina: .....That's my choice, isn't it?
Nishida: Eh...?
Rina: ...Don't start talking like you're my boyfriend after one date! All you are to me is a source of revenue!
Nishida: R-...Rina-san?
Rina: It was me, I'm working with that bar, I took you there specifically to fuck you over! So? Happy now!?
Rina: And now you've ceased to be useful to me. ...Never contact me again.
<she leaves>
Nishida: R-Rina-san...
Nishida: ...I thought she was nice girl, too...
Nishida: "Don't presume to know a woman when you're only looking at one side of her", huh. It's exactly like my boss said.
Nishida: Boss... There's no way you expected all of this to happen, right...?
Nishida: Rina-san went back to the store. I wonder... does she plan on doing the same thing again?
Nishida: .............
<END PART 3>
Bartender: Shit... What's with that helmet bastard.... (Tl note: this is when I realized this was for real in 2006 and not a typo or a timeline mistake. which also means that Goromi hostess dates with Kiryu were a recurrent thing)
<Rina enters>
Rina: ..................
Bartender: So you're back... Why the fuck did you bring such a huge pain in the ass here?
Rina: ......I already told you, this is was the last time. I'm done. Erase the photo of Keiko from your phone. (Tl note: name is 恵子 which has multiple readings)
Bartender: What was that?
Rina: The nude photo you took of Keiko and blackmailed me with! You said you'd erase it if I brought 10 people here!
Bartender: Ain't happening. I didn't get any cash from that last one. You gotta do it again.
Rina: That's bullshit! You all messed up, not me!
Rina: If you try to make me do any more I'm going to the police, so hurry up and delete the photo already!
Bartender: You really want your bestie's nude erased, huh. If so... going to the cops is going to be a problem.
Bartender: So...
<another goon slides in>
Rina: !?
Bartender: I'll just have to get a photo of you next, so that doesn't happen.
<goon grabs her>
Rina: L-Let go...!
Bartender: Just some nudity won't be enough for opposing me. We'll make an extra hard video... heheh.
Rina: N-.... No--
<the door slams open>
Bartender: !?
<a punch lands>
Strong looking man: Guh...
<he hits the floor>
Nishida: ...I heard what you said. Rina-san, you did this all to help your friend.
Rina: N-Nishida-san... Why did you come here?
Nishida: "Don't presume to know a woman when you're only looking at one side of her", that's what my boss taught me.
Nishida: It was a really horrible feeling, when I thought I had been betrayed by a girl who seemed nice and kind.
Rina: ........
Nishida: But, at the same time I had another thought. Fucking me over was just one aspect of you.
Nishida: So I came here to see the whole picture and be able to understand it.
Nishida: ...I'm glad I believed what my boss taught me. I would have regretted it if I left the situation alone, thinking I understood it.
Rina: Nishida-san...
Bartender: Heh, I get to see some cheap melodrama. It's real convenient you came back here, shithead.
Bartender: I was careless last time, but it won't happen again. You're going to regret coming back to rescue that woman!!!!
Nishida: (This time I won't be able to make use of the bathroom hallway.)
Nishida: (So far I've been able to scrape by thanks to my boss's special training...)
Nishida: (But I wasn't taught anything for this situation. This will be a test of my own strength!)
Nishida: I may not have any help from my boss, but... I will protect Rina-san, with my own power!
<fight time>
Bartender: Fuck... er...
<he hits the floor>
Nishida: Haa... Haa... I... won...
<Nishida also hits the floor>
Rina: N-Nishida-san!
<and he's back up>
Nishida: ...I'll be fine... Quick, go delete... your friend's photo from his phone, please.
Rina: Ah, r-right!
<scene transition, police sirens wail>
Nishida: ...Sounds like the cops are coming.
Rina: Seems so. I'm... going to tell the police everything. I'm not going to run from my punishment.
Nishida: You only did it because you were being threatened... I'm sure the punishment won't be that harsh.
Rina: ...Thank you.
Rina: My boyfriend is going to be mad that I'm saying this, but... you looked really hot... seriously, thank you. (Tl note: ohhhhhhhh I knew this wouldn't work out but RIP Nishida. he never scored)
Nishida: Eh...
<outside now>
Nishida: ...Well, I guess she really has a boyfriend.
Nishida: But, it's fine. It's not like this kind of thing is about dating.
Majima Family Member: Oh! Nishida! Are you okay!? I've been worried sick!
Nishida: ...Eh? Wh-What?
Majima Member: Lately, there's been a lot of nasty sleep-robbery bars. There was this picture of a woman floating around that we're supposed to watch out for...
Majima Member: Here, this woman. And someone saw you walking around with her, so I got worried, you know? (Tl note: bisexual rebound time?)
Nishida: This is... Rina-san!? I guess she did say she'd done that a lot, so it makes sense there would be rumors...
Majima Member: Hold on... You already knew?
Nishida: Ah, yeah... But, she's washed her hands of it all, so could you please stop circulating that photo?
Majima Member: ...Well, if you don't want me to, then I guess there's nothing more to be done.
Nishida: I'm glad... Um, did that photo possible get shown to our boss?
Majima Member: Hm? Ah, yeah he was shown it. About 3 days ago, I think.
Nishida: 3 days ago... So all those lessons about a woman's heart from yesterday were... for this.
<flashback>
Goromi: What kinda girl is she? And what do ya think of her?
Nishida: Umm... here's a picture from the group dating.
Nishida: She's a really sweet, attentive, and kind, and we get along... I think it'd be really great if we ended up dating...
Goromi: .........
Nishida: ...Boss? Is something wrong? Is there something strange about the photo?
Goromi: ...Just shocked. A beautiful lady like her is all but wasted on ya.
<flashback over>
Nishida: (Now I understand that reaction... Boss must've realized who Rina-san was...)
Nishida: (All those lessons about a woman's heart... In the end it was what saved me.)
Nishida: (Was... all of that just so... I wouldn't get sleep-robbed...!?)
Nishida: ...Do you know where our boss is right now?
Majima Member: The boss? Pretty sure she said something about waiting for Kiryu-san at SHINE.
Nishida: Thanks.
<Nishida walks off>
Majima Member: H-Hey. Nishida! (tl note: RIP unnamed Majima Family Member, he never scored)
<now at SHINE>
Nishida: Umm... The boss is... there!
Nishida: Boss! Thank you so much! Because I kept all of your lessons in mind, the date today went perfectly!
Nishida: Boss... You knew about what Rina-san was up to, didn't you... So you secretly did all that for my sake--
Goromi: ...Ooh, Nishida! Perfect timin'!
Nishida: Eh...?
Goromi: Kiryu-chan just came to the club! The plan was a massive success!
Goromi: That surprised look on Kiryu-chan's face... Fun conversations leading to a fun fight! I had the greatest time!
Nishida: A-Ahh! Is that so! That's really great!
Nishida: So anyways boss, about what I was telling you regarding the date...
Goromi: Your date? What's that got to do with Kiryu-chan?
Nishida: Um... nothing I suppose...
Goromi: Then why would I wanna hear about dumb shit like that?
Goromi: I'm busy draftin' up a plan for my next fight with Kiryu-chan! Ya better get plannin' right away too!
Nishida: Ah, r... right... Got it.
Goromi: Hehe, my blood's already pumpin'! Now, what next to entertain Kiryu-chan~! (Tl note: "blood's already pumping" is 腕が鳴るでえ which is more literally "my arm is ringing/rumbling" or "I'm itching to put my skills to use")
<she leaves>
Nishida: (...Well, that's fine. No matter what the truth is, I'm certain that it's all thanks to my boss that I'm still alive.)
Nishida: (More importantly... I need to properly return the favor.)
Nishida: Boss! Wait up, please! I'll think of something great too!
<END>
and then here's all of Nishida's various thoughts on things from the board game:
Kiryu-no-ojiki
A man known as the Dragon of Dojima who is absurdly strong in a fight. He’s my boss’s very favorite. Only as a fighter, though...
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol is a great stress reliever! But you have to be careful not to over do it. You should drink rather than be drunk.
Boss’s High Heels
My boss wore these while working at a cabaret club and turned them into a deadly weapon. Getting kicked by them would surely kill...
SHINE
A cabaret club where my boss occasionally works as a hostess. The store has a good reputation, but the customers my boss serves must have a difficult time...
Boss
My boss. Occasionally my boss puts on a dress and works as a hostess, but there’s never been any complaints. Though, would anyone really push on that...
Butterfly Necktie
The necktie I wear while working as a waiter. It may look like a ribbon, but it’s actually very common in formal settings.
Downtown Chinpira
Is this guy running shakedowns!? Bullying the weak is something only cowards do! Guys like this need to be taught a lesson!
The Majima Family
A leading group within the Tojo Clan that's known for its violent conflicts. The family is a group of ruffians, I don't know why I ended up in it...
Majima Family Members
They're a violent and strange bunch, but if you take the time to really talk with them they’re surprisingly pleasant company. Well, they do still look scary...
Kamurocho
Painted in gaudy neon, it’s Japan’s number one entertainment district. The first time I came here, I was shocked at how many people there were.
and VERY FINALLY bonus stuff, namely the two cards! Goromi, the dreadful luck hostess, and Nishida, the mad dog’s errand boy.
this one was sooooooooooooooooooo long but also we got lore that Goromi was NOT a one-off event. which is so much more than I could have ever hoped for. I also love that Kiryu has apparently gotten the text from Nishida on multiple occasions and is shocked every time that Goromi is there waiting on him. and they still go on the date, every time
it’s not even rituals at that point they’re just using Nishida as a date coordinator with the flimsiest pretext in the world. this is that guy fighting the waffle house cook levels of pretext
bakugo has been doing just about everything to figure out his dilemma. filtering through those ridiculous shoujo, observing those stupid-fuckin' couples that seem to occupy each and every damn corner of U.A., and yet, and yet...
he can't figure this flirting thing out. the mere prospect has katsuki's palms drenched with sweat; causing explosions if he thinks too hard, and at some point you'll sure be able to tell.
he thinks about it so much that it's starting to affect his academic perfomance, as katsuki stares off into space, wracking his damn brain on how to deal with you.
his oblivious-ass friends have even started to notice, prodding curiously as to why he's barely reacting to their incessant teasing, why he's suddenly blowing them off to go on these little study outings with you.
then, suddenly, mina realizes. kirishima follows along, with sero in tow. kaminari, the damn loud-mouth, is the last to know; and to their credit, they do try to help.
unfortunately, it only helps to drive him utterly fuckin' crazy.
now, he's fighting not only to drive you away, but also to contain his friends from not exploding into confetti whenever he dares approach you.
but balance is fragile, when you're dealing with a ticking time-bomb like his stupid-ass motherfuckin' idiot friends.
bakugo let his guard down for a damn second, and suddenly he's forgot his brain back at home.
peering up from your sheet of homework, you tilt your head, "what's wrong?"
katsuki rifles through his bag for a second-third time. he grinds his teeth, and closes his eyes, as if to brace himself for humiliation and defeat.
"forgot my fuckin' pen, that's what."
you giggle. unhelpful, as he quickly loses his cool, flushed and irate. bakugo hisses, a vein popping from his forehead as his cheeks blow red like an over-exhausted balloon.
"you think that's funny, brat?!" he stands to yell, nearly toppling his chair over in the process. all eyes at the library turn on him at the outburst, but katsuki is all too captivated with your laughter that follows.
you wave him off with ease, slipping a hand into your pencil-case and offering it to him. "you're such a baby," and then with a playful drone, "kaaa-achan."
bakugo seethes as he slumps back into the chair, hissing as ever-rare embarrassment sets in.
then, for a second time, you burst into a fit of giggles. it's barely quelled when you slap a hand over your mouth, and doesn't stop as you turn away from him.
bakugo is flustered. "shaddap."
you snort, giggling. "it's not you. well, sort of, actually. kaminari said something really funny the other day."
for some odd reason, he suddenly feels his heart sink down to his asshole; like a warning for a forecoming disaster. katsuki grunts.
"what'd that damn dunce say this time."
you peer back up at him with a squint, eyes glittering with amusement. your laughter is barely concealed behind wobbling lips.
"he asked if i like... you know. like you, or somethin'."
bakugo flushes. damn. damn, damn, damn. sneering lowly, he quickly brushes the suggestion off.
"that's fuckin' stupid." do you?
you sigh, your smile tires. "i know, right." do you?
head tipping over the back of your chair, you stretch comfortably. the two of you sit for a while in silence, looking back at eachother.
bakugo breaks off the staring-contest. you smirk. "ha."
"tch." he hisses, pursing his lips, "wind got in my fuckin' eyes."
"we're in an enclosed space, loser," you retort. "i win."
"i could beat your ass in sparring."
you don't grace him with a reply, rolling your eyes.
for a while the two of you sit in silence, homework long abandoned. katsuki twirls your pencil around in his hand, cheek resting in his other. the library feels stuffy; hot as his fluster lingers.
"do you?"
his head snaps up to meet your eyes, katsuki's voice a rumble. "hah?"
you smile, but it's nothing teasing. earnest flickers in your eye, a genuine interest that encapsulates his.
"do you like me."
bakugo's answer is biting, harsh as if bile on his tongue.
"i like you just about as much as shit on my shoe."
you grunt, unamused. there's a tick in your jaw as you roll your eyes in the way he fucking despises. bakugo regrets his words; it's a clumsy insult, and he doesn't mean it.
"okay." you move to stand, and he lets you. stupid, stupid. he's going to kill kaminari, that dumbass.
you abandon the table, and bakugo soon follows.
─
bakugo wants to melt into the floor.
bakugo wants to slam his head into a wall.
bakugo feels like strangling kaminari and kirishima and mina and anyone that's ever dared cross him.
aizawa won't budge and he refuses to ask to have his partner changed. not because you're weak, and not because you're not worthy, but because you're ignoring him.
teetering on the edge of going completely crazy, his friends haven't quite given up on the pursuit, and although you refuse to have anything to do with katsuki, you'll happily chatter on to that idiot mina; which is exactly what you're doing instead of giving him the time of day right now.
too bad he's not planning to let you off the hook, and so isn't aizawa, who gruffly orders the two of you to quit wasting time.
reluctantly, bakugo can tell you don't want this, you enter the arena.
"oi," he growls. you peer up at him, exhasparated, "yeah?"
there's a crackle, he can barely contain the explosion that goes off in his fist, "i told you. i'm gonna bust your fuckin' ass."
"do your best."
─
your back slams against the granite flooring, and you struggle to gasp for air. you've long gone haywire by now, exhausted by bakugo's seemingly untiring resolve that is currently beating you into the ground; literally.
with him things aren't as easy as telling him to stop, you're sure you'll have to die before he stops. bakugo, for once, is angry enough to be blinded. he's frustrated, you're sure; after all, it's impossible to miss the way he's been staring.
maybe you had been too harsh, freezing him out like that. everyone seemed to have noticed too, and suddenly mina was pleading with you to make up for whatever had happened.
part of you never wants to forgive him, and that want is strenghtened by the way bakugo holds good on his promise, sending you flying like a ragdoll.
scrambling to get away, he fists your costume and pins you beneath him. katsuki pants, hand crackling.
"the fuck's your problem, huh?" he snarls, "think you're better than me, that's it, you fuckin'--"
you lift your hand to shield your face, dirtied by the rubble, "it's 'cause you're a fucking asshole."
"you think i'm gonna change for you, or some shit?" bakugo stills, breath hitching. he bares his teeth like a dog, and you think he might just bite.
in a moment of strength, you push him off you. you're done, he realizes.
"no, that's how you treat all your friends, isn't it?" your joints ache as you stand, knees buckling beneath you, "like a little bitch."
you're pissing him off, you can tell. but there's also a hint of upset, one he poorly hides in the heat of the moment.
"you're such a pus─ hey!" he barks, grabbing your arm as you storm off, "don't tell me you're pissed 'cause i called you a piece of shit."
you turn to look at him, furious. it's getting heated, veins pumping as you rip away your arm. "you'd be too, dumbass! i swear, you're so thick─"
bakugo hisses, grinding his teeth. "shaddap! 's not my fault you're so─"
"you shut up!"
"i'll murder you, damn it!"
"oh," you push at him, "screw you, you loser!"
seething, bakugo wrangles your arms into place, knocking you into a wall. rubble unravels from above like hardened raindrops, and you brace yourself.
"you got something to say?" he rumbles, glare darkening, "i'll kill you."
grimacing, you lean further into the wall, and bakugo moves to follow it. "admit it, you prick," you seethe, "admit you you like me, or this is all for nothing and i'll never talk to you again."
a strangled noise leaves katsuki. he has half the mind to slam your head into the cement; to shut you up. maybe he'll scare you away, and you can leave for him to wallow in his feelings.
he squeezes your forearms, blunt leather digging into your skin. "...who the fuck told you, huh?"
a tiny smile, however smug, grazes your features. "anonymous source, "kacchan."
Obsession Hanging 'Round My Neck Like a Noose: Part 3.
HAAGH!
REAAGH!
*KAAA-BOOOOOOOOM!*
*Nagito, his body shattering and his jacket ripped, powers up, his body sending out a blue bio-electricity. He and Zetsubou's rocket-powered enforcer exchange blows all over the transit tunnel at high speeds.
HA-TCHAA!
WOAH!
*CRRRAASSSH!*
*Nagito attempts to derail the trains with a superpowered spin kick, missing Narumi in the process, but the wind pressure of the kick cuts straight through multiple tracks.
!!!!
!!!!
*Narumi hits out, but before she can counterpunch, Nagito catches her fist and knocks her aside. Nagito can hardly keep up with Narumi's rapid pace, but he just manages to do so repeatedly, making Narumi increasingly more frustrated.
*BOOM!*
Huh!? Wh-Where'd she-!?
Hey! Wanna see something cool!?
KaaaaaaameeeeehaaaaameeeeeeHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
*BSSSHHFWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!*
Oh crap...! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!
*Narumi leaps into the air once more in the midst of the brawl, putting her arms together in front of her (in a gesture honestly more akin to the Final Flash than the Kamehameha) and aiming directly at the ground. She then unleashes the biggest, deadliest, most powerful, and hottest blow she has yet demonstrated! The wide-impact explosion that zeroes in on Nagito tears apart the entire tunnel as well as multiple trains and tracks, blowing a ginormous hole in the side of the giant factory building! Nagito sprints down the tracks, hoping against hope to outpace the massive explosion.
*CRAASH!*
Grgh! Haaah...! Haaah...! Haaaaah...!
*Nagito makes his escape, his coat just barely being singed by the explosive flames, as he bursts through several walls until he gets outside the factory, collapsing to all fours out of exhaustion.
(She wasn't kidding about sacrifices...She's willing to blow this entire factory up to defeat me! If I don't take her out soon, she'll level the entire institute and kill everyone!)
*Nagito heaves heavy breaths as he climbs to his feet. But then he thinks about it for a moment.
(...No...No, that's not how things are at all. Desperate victories and fighting like your life depends on it has never been Narumi's MO...)
(She's going all out because she's been looking for an opportunity like this her whole life...A serious fight against a powerful opponent like me...She's unleashing everything she's got out of respect, and for fun! Not necessity!)
(...Almost like she was waiting for this fight for a long time...Could it be that she brought me into Zetsubou just for this very purpose? I don't know if she could have predicted everything that's happened, but knowing her, I wouldn't put it past her.)
*KRABOOM!*
Huh!?
There ya are! I thought I'd swallowed you in that blast for a second! You weren't thinking of running away, were you?
...No...I just needed a moment to think. You were right! I really can't afford to pull my punches with you! If I do, it's the end for all of us...
*His body starts crackling blue electricity again.
*Narumi, full of energy, shoots an arcing projectile at Nagito, who avoids it, only for the blast to hit an oil tanker behind him and leave him to suffer the full force of a lethal explosion. Narumi kicks the hapless Ultimate Hope into the flames and zips around quickly, launching an assault on Nagito while he's caught off guard.
HYAGH!
WOAH!
*CRAACK!*
...
...?
*SHWOOSH!*
AH-!?
*BOOOM!*
*Narumi winds up a downward pummel and punts Nagito back towards the wall of the factory, but he recovers in time and lands on the wall with his feet. He shoots one last spiteful glance back at his old friend, then suddenly runs directly up the wall to the top of the factory building. Narumi uses her explosions to chase him.
"Pik-a?"
They both turned, both having the same expression at the source less noise. Then there was a kid! They flew out of the bushes, a mess of tangled hair and scratches from stray stickers.
Red's eyebrows shot up and Pikachu bounded off his shoulder, crunching his rib in and knocking some wind out of him. Pikachu came up to his midsection. Was he camping out here?
A runaway? No. A wild child.
The kid growled and chittered, body language shifting with the growls. It was like viewing a different language with similar parts to it.
"Pi-kaaa."
'Hey! All of it is true. All of it!'
Red stepped after Pikachu, one foot after the other through the shorter grasses.
Red waved off the concern with a shake of his head.
It's alright.
Pikachu turned to him, and then the kid.
'Oh, he can't talk. Don't worry about it!'
' That's so cool! I'm like your biggest fan! ' Excited enough to finally stand up right with wide eyes, awe and all. Had pikachu been common in his neck of the woods he would've been even more impressed by their size in comparison! Incredible!
' Im a little guy myself compared to my friends n neighbors but I got moves when we're sparring! Im really slippery n quick but I wanna get as good as you for sure- '
But being so excited to see a legend N had entirely missed the human he was with. Perhaps he had blocked him out as some large branch he was perched on. The step forward stopped him mid conversation to look over with immediate alarm. The bouncy excitement was replaced with bristled hair and slow steps back.
' It's a human. We've been spotted. ' Said between a raised snarl and a slow crouch so N can get on all fours defensively. Should he have been listening to Pikachu perhaps he could see the other thing they have in common. He can't talk either. Not linguistically really. Anything human he did not recognize at all besides the occasional glance of a passerby through the brush he hid in or the horror stories of their greedy dark nature and the fellow 'mon they've kidnapped, imprisoned and brainwashed.

“GAH-!” Pal sprung awake from unconsciousness, sputtering and coughing. Kacy was standing beside him, looking worried.
Kaaa…Kacy..?
“P-Pal..! Thank g-god- goodness you’re alive..!” Kacy looked like she had just been crying, hugging Pal tightly despite his clear distain.
Wh-What happened..?
“I-I-I don’t know..! You suddenly hung up during our call, muttering some random things-! A-Are you okay? I-Is your leg okay..?”
My..leg..? Y-You worried about my leg?! What about my damn glowing eyes?! That’s not a cause to WORRY?!
Kacy stepped back from the shout before shaking her head. “Pal..after the event, please tell me you went to the hospital.”
I-I don’t need to! I told yo-!
“But you did! Your right leg would’ve healed and been back to normal within a month or two and now look-! All that extra moving and putting pressure onto it had put it into a state where they had to amputate it!”
Amputate- y-you don’t even..-!
“But I do…! I lost my finger to a table saw. Remember? It’s nowhere near as bad as your injury but I know what I’m talking about.”
Kacy finally took a breath, calming down with deep breaths. Pal’s eyes still dripped with the substance that seemed to permanently stain the bed with it’s toxic glow.
“Pal…are your eyes okay..? Th-The doctors said that it’s, as you said, a parasite of sorts. It’s..not radioactive though despite the glow.”
….Why would my eyes be okay..? I can barely SEE KACY! FUCK- whatever I can see is like I’m still looking through that STUPID MECH’S GLASS! It’s all computery..! My voice is computery-! I’m like a machine-! OF COURSE I’M NOT FINE! I’m not okay! I’m…so…tired…
I feel like I’m shutting down…resetting.. entering power save mode..! Kacy- I don’t like this…! I-I want to see Nick again. I hate myself for what I did and it burns to know I did it-! I hurt my pal..and for what- because HE DECIDED TO WORK AT HIS DREAM JOB?!
So WHAT IF I DIDN’T COME ALONG-?! GAAAHH!!!
Pal was about to continue on when Kacy wrapped her arms around Pal tightly, stunning him.
Ghhhnnn…?
No words were spoken. Everything was silent except for the soft beeping of the heart monitor. O-Oh…Pal hadn’t even…realized it was there. Guess it really was bad…
Pal stared out before gently hugging Kacy back. The substance dripped onto the ground, acting as true tears for once. Pal began to sob, his soft whimpers filling the room.

(i hope hindi ka ma-weird-an dito. na-shock lang talaga ako mwehehe)
Hii!! yess that’s meee 🥹🥹🥹 OKAY LANG OMG IM ACTUALLY GLAD HALA KAAA. Thank you for reading my workss!! I felt comfortable again kaya im writing and posting some of my works here ^^
i tried searching for the kagamines song you're looking for but i wasnt able to find anything yet ): could you try maybe writing whatever remnants of the lyrics you still remember?
i know some of the lyrics but not perfectly and they're in Japanese ofc so what i will describe is just what i remember so its probably not accurate (the dashes are words i cannot remember)
kuru te itedai-, --- ---- a wanaii
kuru le tadadashi aii, ----- saa
an mo kaaa (long note with fast music behind it)
the above part is sung by len and his voice is quite deep and sharp and that is how rins voice sounds in this song as well
and like it sounds like the tuning in young girl a, like that style
and like i know how it sounds but its so fast that like writing out the notes wouldn't be very helpful
but i could try and play the part that i wrote the lyrics for above on the piano- bc its not slow but its paced if that makes sense- although its late so i might just try to do it on my phone or something idk
