The Boss’s Date Coaching

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!

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!!!!

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!

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: ...Nishida-san. <she hugs him> Nishida: ...!

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

[RGG Online Translation] Character Story · Makoto Date (2007)

Summary: Date is back on the force, but is uncomfortable with his reputation as a legend. At Tanimura’s advice, he tries to loosen up and show himself as approachable to his peers, but it turns out to be harder than it seems... Featured Characters: Makoto Date, Masayoshi Tanimura Spoilers?: Nope!

On this episode, Date and Ma-chan get their clown shoes on. Don’t be fooled by the cool-looking card, this story is all shenanigans.

Date has two character stories; one came at launch and the other is this one, released about a year later alongside a boss rush event. Despite being “2007″ Date, this story actually takes place in 2011, a year after the events of Yakuza 4. Which also means my favorite boy gets to show up and banter with him, yippee.

Usual Disclaimer: I'm coming at this with little more than crude Japanese knowledge, a machine translation cocktail, and an insatiable desire for more RGG content. This will by no means be a decent translation, but it should at least be serviceable.

------------------ CHAPTER #1 ------------------

Scene #1: Kamurocho · Metropolitan Police Department

Narration: 2011 · Metropolitan Police Department - Criminal Investigation Division

Tanimura: Oh, hi Date. Good work today.

Date: [frown] Yo, Tanimura... phew.

Tanimura: [surprised] Hm? What’s wrong? You look kinda tired.

Date: Ah... no, I’m just a little...

Tanimura: [smile] Come on now. You’re a legendary detective, you’ve gotta pull yourself together.

Date: That’s the problem.

Tanimura: [surprised] What is?

Date: [angry] That “legendary detective” nonsense! Jeez... where did that gossip even come from...? People were staring at me the whole time I was at the precinct. It was uncomfortable.

Tanimura: [smile] Hahaha! They were probably thinking “Here comes a rare specimen!”

Date: [frown] Apparently, everyone around me thinks that my every cough and sigh are supposed to be meaningful. I was frowning earlier when the geso tempura I had for lunch got stuck in my teeth, and all the young guys were freaking out, asking me with a pale face “Did I do something wrong!?” Probably couldn’t even go to a soba stall without everyone making a fuss about it.

Tanimura: Well, that’s fine, isn’t it? It’s normal for young folk to fawn over their veterans.

Date: But see here - even when all I did was confirm Hoshi’s alibi at the meeting, they all applauded and called out “As expected of a great detective!” It’s like they’re making fun of me, but they’re completely earnest about it, so I can’t just tell them off.

Tanimura: I see, so it’s uncomfortable for you if you’re put on too high a pedestal. If that’s the case... why don’t you try being more open in front of the younger officers? Show them that even a guy like Date has gaps in his armour.

Date: [neutral] Gaps...?

Tanimura: For example, how about going to a cabaret club for fun instead of business?

Date: [angry] Idiot, I’m way too old for that. I have a daughter around those girls’ age, remember?

Tanimura: See~ There it is, there it is. Saying something stubborn like that right away. If you don’t loosen up, you’ll always be known as the “legendary detective”.

Date: [frown] Uh... Hrm. A cabaret... it’s true I’ve never been to one outside of work.

Tanimura: I’m sure the guys would feel closer to you if you told them about your failures at the club~

Date: ...Okay, fine, I got it. I’ll try following Dr. Tanimura’s advice.

------------------

Scene #2: Kamurocho · Cabaret Club

Staff Member: Welcome-

Date: [smile] I’m alone. Any free seats?

Staff Member: D-D-Date?! T-T-The legendary, renowned d-d-detective?!?!

Date: [frown] ...I’m alone. Any free seats?

Staff Member: Oh, s-sure. But... if a legendary detective like you has come to our club, does that mean there’s been some kind of incident...?

Date: Knock it off with the legend thing. It’s just gossip, and there’s been no incident. I’m not here tonight on business. So, is there a seat? I’m not really used to this.

Staff Member: Come on, sir~ You’re really here for an investigation, aren’t you? Who are you looking into? It’s not one of the staff, is it?

Date: It’s really not like that... Hm?

[he notices a suspicious-looking man]

Date: [angry] That customer... as soon as he saw me, he started packing up to leave.

Staff Member: Eh? Is that so?

Suspicious Man: ...Think I’ve had a bit too much to drink. I’ll be heading off now.

Staff Member: Yes, sir, I’ll fetch your bill. Please wait a moment.

[he leaves]

Date: ...Hey. You come here often, pal?

Suspicious Man: N-no... it’s not like that. I’m just about to leave.

Date: What’s wrong? You seem a bit twitchy.

Suspicious Man: Oh, that’s just cause, y’know, Kamurocho’s a pretty scary town. Detective like you should know that.

Date: Hmm, you know that I’m a detective?

Suspicious Man: Ah, no, I mean, you had that kind of dignified air, you know...

Date: And as soon as this detective arrived, you tried to bail?

Suspicious Man: It, it just kinda happened like that. Me heading home the same time you showed up.

Date: Alright. That’s fine then. You’re waiting on your bill, right? Can I ask you a few more questions?

Suspicious Man: ...I’ll pass. I’m not good at talking to strangers.

Date: [smile] And yet you’re at a cabaret club, huh. Listen, I’m not trying to interrogate you.

Suspicious Man: Dammit... that was a cheap play! You already know everything, don’t you?!

Date: [surprised] Huh? What’s this all of a sudden?

Suspicious Man: Shut the fuck up! How did the cops find out...?! I can’t get caught in a place like this!

[Battle]

------------------ CHAPTER #2 ------------------

Scene #3: Kamurocho · Metropolitan Police Department

Tanimura: [surprised] What?! The guy you happened to question in the cabaret club was actually a wanted robber?!

Date: He was one of the lowest-ranked members. It was just a coincidence, really.

Tanimura: So even people that low on the ladder know your face...? [smile] Well, in any case, another legend has been born. “He arrests criminals even in his private time! The legendary detective’s nose for crime never rests!” - something like that. All the younger guys are gonna think you’re like a god.

Date: [frown] I tried to close the gap between us and just made it worse...

Narration: A few days later...

Tanimura: [frown] Haah... it’s kinda unfair. Only Date gets treated like a legend.

Date: You sure changed your tune, Tanimura. What happened?

Tanimura: ...I got scolded by the Chief earlier.

Date: The chief? You mean Sudo?

Tanimura: Yeah... Usually, I go around entertainment businesses and hit up the regulars for info on the city. Snack bars, karaoke, mahjong parlors, places like that.

Date: [smile] Oh-ho, aren’t you impressive? I used to do that too. You gotta hit the streets if you want to find the best information.

Tanimura: Right? But the chief thinks I’m just slacking off! Seems I haven’t escaped the old “Parasite of Kamurocho” label.

Date: [frown] Good grief... Sudo’s as hard-headed as ever.

Tanimura: [angry] You can say that again. I’m not playing around, y’know. I’m just trying to maintain good relations with my sources. Like losing at mahjong on purpose to keep them in a good mood. [frown] It ticks me off if people think I’m just goofing around. And then, on the other hand, you head off to the cabaret for fun, and instead you catch a criminal and get treated like a celebrity.

Date: It isn’t like that...

Tanimura: [angry] No, it is. Everyone thinks I’m slacking off when I’m actually doing my job, and meanwhile all you have to worry about is getting geso stuck in your teeth? It’s not fair!

Date: No need to bring up the geso...

Tanimura: [frown] Haaah, I was gonna hit the mahjong parlor today, but now I don’t feel like doing anything...

Date: Hrmm... I’m starting to feel sorry for you. How about this? I’ll go to the parlour instead.

Tanimura: [surprised] You can play mahjong?

Date: [neutral] Doesn’t need too much effort, does it? I’m not gonna play to win. If I go there during working hours, it should overturn my image as a “legend”, even if just by a little. Meanwhile, you’re gonna focus on your desk work and redeem yourself in Sudo’s eyes.

Tanimura: [smile] I see, so it’s a win-win situation. Then, if you wouldn’t mind...

Date: Leave it to me. So, what kind of clientele does this parlor have?

Tanimura: Most of them are old, retired Chinese folk. It’s a pretty peaceful atmosphere, so the info going through isn’t the sort that can be linked to a case. Just light-hearted stuff like a couple having a newborn.

Date: Those sort of networks can be useful too. You never know when an unexpected lead might crop up. [smile] Well, I’ll be heading off there.

------------------

Scene #4: Kamurocho · Mahjong Parlor

Shopkeeper: Please, come in.

Date: [smile] Any seats available?

Shopkeeper: ...Hm? W-Wait, you aren’t...! The famous detective, Makoto Date...!!

Date: [frown] ...Oi, not this again... Tanimura often comes here, right? He’s the one who introduced me to this place.

Shopkeeper: Ah... Ma-chan. Yes, he comes here often... I thought I'd be safe if it was him who showed up, but I guess it’s all over now...

Date: [surprised] Hm? What are you talking about?

Shopkeeper: Feh... no need to play dumb. You already know everything, don’t you? I’ll confess to it all, so...! Please spare me!

Date: (...I have no idea what he’s talking about, but I’ll play along.)

Date: ...Ahem. All right. Talk to me.

Shopkeeper: The truth is...

[music stops]

Shopkeeper: There’s a dangerous man hiding in here. He’s part of a robbery gang.

Date: [shocked] What...?!

Shopkeeper: He’s committed no less than ten other crimes. He hit the bar on 4th Street just the other day...

Rough Man: Hey! What the hell are you doing?! I came here cause you said you’d shelter me!

Shopkeeper: The legendary detective turning up at this very moment? He must already know everything... I don’t want to get wrapped up in it! My adultery, my tax evasion, my running over the bill at my favorite pub... He knows it all! Oh, god...!!

Date: (...I didn’t know any of that.)

Rough Man: Shit! How did you find out? I can’t believe it...! I just got here!

Date: Well, if it’s like this, I have no choice but to arrest you.

Rough Man: Shut up! I can’t get caught like this!

[Battle]

------------------ CHAPTER #3 ------------------

Scene #5: Kamurocho · Metropolitan Police Department

Tanimura: [frown] Heh... Another good job, Date. I can’t believe it...

Date: Me neither. Just a string of lucky breaks.

Tanimura: Haah, I’m at my wit’s end.

Date: [smile] What are you talking about? Today’s success was only possible because you cared about that parlor so much, right?

Tanimura: It was you who handcuffed the guy, so by all accounts, it was you who solved the case.

Date: [surprised] Hey, Tanimura... pull yourself together. You’re not seriously depressed, are you?

Tanimura: I’m not depressed, I was just reminded.

Date: Reminded...?

Tanimura: Of the difference in caliber between me and the legendary detective... if you’ll excuse me.

[he leaves]

Date: [frown] ...Man, what a mess. Even Tanimura is growing distant...

------------------

Scene #6: Kamurocho · Tenkaichi Street

Date: [frown] ...“Legendary detective”, huh. That gossip has run out of control... I’ll go up to New Serena tonight. Seeing the mama’s face will make me forget all about work...

[a group of men see Date and then leave]

Date: ...Hm? What was with them? They suddenly turned around when they saw me... This is fishy. I’ll have to check it out.

[he moves into the alleyway]

Date: [yell] ...Hey, what are you guys up to?!

Gang Leader: Tch, Date...! Didn’t expect to run into you here. I almost had my revenge...

Date: [surprised] What the hell do you mean, revenge...?!

Gang Leader: The guy you caught at the parlor was my right-hand man, and the one you nabbed at the cabaret was also one of my guys. Date... the “legendary detective”, or whatever the fuck it is, you’ve torn apart my gang. I’m going to get my own back, by making you lose the people you love most...!

Date: So that robbery group... you were its leader...! [angry] And now you were going to target the Serena mama just to spite me...?

Gang Leader: Heheh... yeah, that’s right! Well, the order of killing has changed now, but the result will be the same. I don’t mind if I kill you first and then your woman after.

Date: ...That all you gotta say, dumbass?

Gang Leader: Ah? What the hell...?

Date: In the first place, your minions were scared out of their minds and practically came crawling to me. I didn’t try to sniff them out, and I didn’t want the credit for catching them either. But you still resented me for it, and even tried to drag the mama into things...? [angry] Don’t fuck with me!

Gang Leader: A, ah... what the hell is this...! You’re suddenly fired up.

Date: I’m really pissed off today... I’ll take you guys down with my full detective spirit!

Gang Leader: I’ll kill you first, you old bastard!

[Battle]

Gang Leader: I-I’m so sorry...! Just arrest me already...! Don’t kill me!!

Date: Really. If that’s the case, I’ll arrest you...

Gang Leader: T-Thank you...! I’m saved...!

Date: [angry] ...After one last punch!

[Date decks him]

Gang Leader: G-Geh...!

[he collapses]

Date: [frown] ....Geez, what a hassle. So the robbers have all been taken down now... Tanimura might get annoyed at me again. Well, anyway... this “legend” thing is getting more and more ridiculous. [smile] Huh... I wonder if this is what that guy’s been struggling with all these years... am I right about that, Kiryu?

------END------ ------------------

also lmaoooo at Tanimura getting mad that people don’t think he takes his job seriously. babygirl that’s your own fault <3 quit your job already <3

Joon-gi Han Summer Holiday Character Story

Card description: Head of the Jingweon Mafia. Even the cold face of a boss is somewhat calm under this sunlight. However, no one knows what he thinks behind his relaxed appearance.

NOTES: I am NOT fluent in Japanese, so while translating this I heavily relied on other translators and dictionaries. Also, I’m assuming this story is all actually spoken in Korean since all of the characters have Korean names and they’re most likely on an island near Korea. For translating the Korean names from Katakana, I used the Korean translation of the story made by ppuyoppu on Twitter.

Another thing to note is that they use RGGO Joongi’s sprite in half of the story, but it’s not him I promise LMAO

July 2016, five months before Kiryu Kazuma begins searching for Haruto Sawamura’s father.

Han: “Welcome to the Jingweon Mafia.”

Han: “Over the past few months, you have overcome various trainings of our organization, and joined our ranks.”

Han: “This trip was to celebrate. I hope you enjoy it.”

Jingweon members: “WHAT!?”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “Look at this beach. There’s no one but us.”

Jingweon Rookie 2: “No wonder. This is a small island owned by the Jingweon, that means we can own the whole beach.”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “All right! Today we’re going to eat, drink, and have fun!”

Jeon: “Wait, are you sure?”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “Huh? What’s up?”

Jeon: “We’re in the mafia, aren’t we? Us as underlings shouldn’t be frolicking around infront of the boss!”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “What are you talking about? Boss said he was gonna have fun today too, didn’t he?”

Jeon: “Yeah, but—!”

(Han notices them and walks over)

Han: “They’re right.”

Jeon: “Boss!?”

Han: “It’s also a welcome party for all of you, I don’t mind if you guys have fun.”

Jeon: “I-Is that so? Well, if the boss says so…”

Han: “You’re the new member… If you don’t mind, why don’t you talk to me over there for a bit?”

Jeon: “Eh!? Understood!”

(They walk away)

Han: “Don’t be so nervous. I just want you to have a little chat with me, take it easy.”

Jeon “Y-yes sir…”

Han: “This is the second time I’m speaking with you. I believe the first time was when you came to say hello after entering the organization.”

Han: “By the way, how old are you?”

Jeon: “20 years old.”

Han: “My my, why at such a young age? You knocked on the door of the Jingweon, right?”

Jeon: “Y-yeah… I had no other places to go.”

Han: “What’s the matter?”

Jeon: “….Actually I was working at my father’s company until last year. It was the worst…”

Jeon: “No matter how hard I try, my father doesn’t appreciate me and he’s always nagging me.”

Jeon: “Then one day, I had enough. I got into a big fight with my father, so I left home.”

Jeon: “After leaving home, I stayed at my friend’s house for a while. But then I ran out of money…”

Jeon: “I heard from a friend that the mafia was the easiest way to make quick money.”

Jeon: “I had nowhere else to go… that’s why I joined the Jingweon.”

Jeon: “That said, my higher-ups always scold me, so I’m worried about wether I’ll be able to do well from now on.”

Han: “No need to worry…. Between you and me, I have the most expectations of you among the newcomers.”

Jeon: “Huh?”

Han: “I’ve already checked the details of your training and how you work within the organization.”

Han: “Your grades are astonishing compared to the other newcomers, keep up the good work.”

Jeon: “Oh! Thank you boss!!”

Han: “Huh, actually I’m sure you’ll be able to pass the ‘Final Exam’.”

Jeon: “Final Exam? What do you mean?”

Han: “Oh, that’s—“

(They hear yelling from the distance)

Jeon: “What was that?”

Han: “I heard it from the beach over there, let’s go check it out.”

(Cue bad sand walking sfx)

Jingweon Rookie 1: “TAKE THIS!”

Jingweon Rookie 2: “URRAAHHH”

Han: “What are you guys making a fuss about?”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “Ah, boss!?”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “F-Forgive us! We were trying to see who the strongest newcomer is out of all of us!…”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “And I got excited and decided to win!!”

Han: “What.”

Jeon: “You idiots! You guys are going too crazy! What are you doing infront of the boss!?”

Jeon: (This is crazy! I told them not to fight, but they did it anyway! Are they gonna die??)

Han: “No, it doesn’t matter. I was the one who told you to do whatever you please.”

Han: “If it’s just a fight, I can’t ignore it, but this is a competition between each other’s skills, isn’t it?”

Jeon: “Eh? Boss…!?”

Han: “If this trip serves as a meet-and-greet with you newcomers, then this fist-fighting is also apart of that exchange.”

Han: “There’s no need to hold back. Feel free to fight me.”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “Oh, I see! If the boss says so, then I’ll do my best! Let’s go!!”

(Joongi beats the everliving shit out of them)

Jingweon Rookie 1: “Guh… So strong… I can’t feel my teeth anymore…”

(Han starts clapping)

Jingweon Rookie 1: “?”

Han: “Amazing. I admire your spirit to rise up and face me even though you have fallen.”

Newcomers: “Huh…?”

Han: “…What are you guys doing? Applaud his fighting spirit like I did!”

Newcomers: “E-Eh!? Yes sir!”

(Newcomers all applaud the Jingweon Rookie)

Han: “Now that the fight is over, let’s shake hands.”

Jingweon Rookie 1: “T-Thank you so much Boss!!”

Han: (Hmm. Maybe a fight like this could be a good show at Stardust.)

Han: (A bloody battle where your favorite hosts beat each other up… perfect for ladies without enough stimulation.)

Jeon: “Good job, Boss.”

Han: “Uh-huh.”

Jeon: “It was amazing to see you beat them without taking a single hit!”

Han: “If it’s an attack like that, even you would be able to dodge it.”

Jeon: “Really!?”

Han: “Of course. As I said earlier, I have high expectations of you.”

Jeon: (Phew, I’ve always had a scary image of mafia bosses, but he seems to be different.)

Jeon: (They even talk to lowly people like me and treat them in a friendly manner!)

Jeon: (Besides, it’s strong and cool to to praise the opponent you beat like a sportsman..!)

Han: “Well then, I think it’s time to go back to the inn and take a rest.”

Jeon: “Ah, sorry Boss! But what was the ‘Final Exam’ you were talking about earlier?”

Han: “Is that so? Well, I was planning to tell everyone tonight, so I guess I’ll tell you first.”

Han: “You newcomers are about to join the Jingweon Mafia. You have overcome the training tests and joined the ranks of the organization.”

Han: “But actually, your exams aren’t over yet.”

Jeon: “Eh? What do you mean..?”

Han: “I brought you to this island not just to celebrate.”

Han: “The real reason I called you to this island… was for you to take the final exam of the Jingweon Mafia.”

Jeon: “Final exam…!? What are we supposed to do?”

Han: “The content of the exam is very simple.”

Han: “You newcomers will be asked…

to kill one of your friends this evening.”

Jeon: “What!?”

Jeon: “What do you mean boss!?”

Jeon: “I understand the real purpose of coming to this island is to take the final exam but…”

Jeon: “Why do I have to kill another person on this island for the exam!?”

Han: “It’s a test of resolve.”

Jeon: “Resolve..?”

Han: “Yes, the Jingweon mafia is a mafia, after all.”

Han: “There are some jobs that can’t be accomplished without killing people.”

Jeon: “Wait Boss. So half of the newcomers on the island… were they summoned to be killed?”

Han: “Yes. They were the ones who failed the exams before this trip, and I've called them in to be used for this final exam.”

Jeon: “That cant be…!”

Han: “….Please take this.”

Jeon: “What is this?”

Han: “It’s a fast-acting poison capsule. It’s tasteless and odorless, and if you put it in a drink, no one will notice it.”

Jeon: “After you return to the inn on the island, give one of your companions this capsule and you will pass your final exam.”

Jeon: “!”

Han: “Don’t worry. All the guest houses on the island are divided into two rooms.”

Han: “When you get back to your room, have a drink with them, and sneak the capsule into their sake.”

Han: “You can do it quietly without making a fuss.”

Jeon: “But, I’d be killing someone…!”

Han: “I understand your fear.”

Han: “But you just have to give the capsule to your friends… that’s all you need to do.”

Han: “Then the rest will fall asleep and breathe their last. There is no need to worry about your conscience.”

Jeon: “….”

Han: “But what you do in the end is up to you. Come to the beach again at 9:00 tonight.”

Han: “I will explain everything to the other newcomers aswell.”

Jeon: “Yes, I understand..”

Han: “You can do it. So what are you waiting for?”

Jeon: (To kill someone in the final exam…!)

Jeon: (He said he will explain it to the others on the beach tonight, I wonder if the other guys will take the test…?)

(Timeskip to 9:00 PM, everyone arrives at the beach)

Jingweon Rookie 1: “What’s the point of calling half the newcomers to the beach on a night like this?”

Jingweon Rookie 2: lI think the boss wants to talk to us about something… Hey, Jeon? You know about anything?”

Jeon: “C’mon…”

Han: “It looks like everybody is here. I will begin explaining the final exam.”

Newcomers: “?”

(Han explains the final exam to them)

Han: “…This concludes the explanation of the final exam. Anyone have questions?”

Newcomers: “……….”

Jeon: (Everyone is at a loss for words...of course. Anyone would be perplexed if suddenly told to kill someone.)

?: “Is this a joke!?”

Jeon: “!”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “Boss, I would never do a test like this!!”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “I joined this organization because I heard it was a quick way to make money! I don’t want to kill people!!”

Han: “So you’re refusing the exam?”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “Yeah! I'm not staying with a bunch of murderers! I'm going home!”

Han: “I don't mind if you refuse to take the exam, but I don't want you to take liberties with me.”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “Huh? Then what are you gonna do!?”

Han: “Let me end you here.”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “W-What!?”

Han: “After you refuse an exam, you are no longer in the Jingweon.”

Han: “Besides, it would be a problem to send you back knowing what’s happening on this island.”

Jingweon Rookie 3: “Isn’t that great! Then I'll tell you how to get off this island even if you beat me!!!!”

(Han beats him)

Jingweon Rookie 3: “G-Guh!…”

Han: “It’s the end for you.”

(Han punches him one more time)

Jingweon Rookie 3: “…………..”

Han: “…The nuisance has now been eliminated. Now, gentlemen, does anyone else object?”

Han: “I don't think so. Now, when everyone goes back to their rooms, the exam begins.”

Han: “The time limit is midnight. I will have my roommate take the capsule by then.”

Han: “I will visit each room when the time is up. Next, I check the results.”

Jeon: (The test will start when I go back to my room, huh?)

Jeon: (The person in my room is Hwan, a fellow newcomer... Do I have to kill him now?)

Jeon: (But if I don't do it, I might get killed like the guy from earlier... Kuh!)

(Jeon goes to his room)

Hwan: “Hey, you’re back. So what happened?”

Jeon: “O-Oh… It’s not a big deal.”

Hwan: “Oh, really? Never mind. I've got some drinks. Why don't you join me?”

Jeon: “O-Oh, sure..”

Hwan: “What's the matter with you, man? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Jeon: “No… I’m fine.”

Jeon: (Kuh… It’s almost midnight…)

Jeon: (I have to poison him in time, but I still can’t do it!)

Jeon: (At this rate, I will fail the exam… What should I do…?)

(Screen fades to black, flashback)

Han: “Just between you and me, I have the most expectations of you among the newcomers. Keep up the good work.”

Jeon: (Unlike my father, he has high expectations of me... So I am living up to his expectations.)

Jeon: (I’ll do it… I’ll do it….!!)

(He puts the poison in the drink)

Jeon: (Alright, the poison got mixed with the alcohol, after that…)

Jeon: “Hey, how good is this sake? Give it a try.”

Hwan: “Oh, really? Then let's have some.”

Hwan: “Cheers to our bright future!~♪”

Jeon: “Ah, cheers…”

(He drinks the alcohol)

Hwan: “Hmm? Huh? My eyelids suddenly feel heavy…”

Hwan: “Uhhh….”

(He passes out)

Jeon: (He’s not breathing…. He’s dead!!!)

Jeon: (I did it...! I… I really killed someone!!)

(Someone knocks on the door)

Han: “Good job.”

Jeon: “B-Boss…!”

Han: “It’s exactly midnight. Looks like you passed the test.”

Han’s Entourage: “Boss. The fallen newcomer is definitely dead.”

Han: “All right. Take the corpse out of the room.”

Han’s Entourage: “Yes sir.”

Jeon: “Boss…! My hands haven't stopped shaking, and I...”

Han: “It's okay… It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong.”

Han: “Worked as per my instructions. Excellent. You have completed the final exam.”

Han: “Instead, be proud of yourself.”

Jeon: “B-But..!”

Han: “You’ve lived up to my expectations. Your determination to kill people for the sake of the organization seems genuine.”

Han: “You just keep doing what I tell you to do and you'll be fine. Understood?”

Jeon: “Y-Yes…”

Han: “Very well. Then you should take rest now. Let's talk again tomorrow.”

(Han leaves)

Jeon: (.......That’s right. I’ve done nothing wrong.)

Jeon: (And I passed! This is something to be proud of!)

Jeon: (Yes, just do what the boss says and you should be fine ......!)

Jeon: (Just do what the boss says…

Just do what the boss says...!)

(Timeskip to morning)

(Someone knocks at the door)

Han: “Good morning.”

Jeon: “G-Good morning, boss!”

Han: “I know you had a hard time last night. I knew you could do it.”

Jeon: “Thank you, sir..!”

Jeon: (I don't know why I couldn't sleep since yesterday because I felt guilty for killing someone...)

Jeon: (The moment the boss praised me, I somehow felt the fog in my mind lifted.)

Jeon: (And now I’m proud to be in the Jingweon Mafia with the boss...)

Jeon: “So, boss, what can I do for you?”

Han: “About the final exam yesterday… Actually, it isn’t finished yet.”

Jeon: “Huh!?”

Han: “Don’t worry. Next time is really the last time.”

Han: “I believe that you’ll be able to pass the next exam. I have high hopes for you.”

(Timeskip)

Jeon: (…Is it about time?)

Jeon: (The boss said that there will be a final exam tonight at 9:00 on the beach.)

Jeon: (If I don’t fail, I’ll be able to join the Jingweon.)

Jeon: (I don't know what kind of test it is, but I've already killed one person. I can't turn back now.)

Jeon: (If this happens, I'll do whatever it takes to pass the final exam and join the organization!)

Jeon: (And I…. can get the approval of the boss!!)

(He goes to the beach)

Jeon: “Boss..!”

Han: “Hey, you came on time.”

Han: “You’re about to take the final exam of the Jingweon Mafia. Are you ready?”

Jeon: “Yes, I’m prepared.”

Han: “Very well, let's begin.”

Jeon: “Are those… bottles?”

Han: “The final test will be done using these two vials. The test is quite simple.”

Han: “One bottle contains plain water and the other contains a deadly poison.”

Jeon: “!”

Han: “If you've shown me that you're "ready to kill for the organization," now I want you to show me that you're "ready to die for the organization."

Han: “If you show me your determination, I will welcome you as a member of the Jingweon Mafia this time.”

Jeon: “…Wait. Does that mean if I drink the poison, then I’ll die!?”

Han: “That's right. But it won't be just a death, your name will forever be remembered by the Jingweon.”

Jeon: “W-What do you mean…?”

Han: “First of all, Joon-gi Han is not my real name.”

Han: “It's not just my name. Those who have died honorably in the organization in the past are supposed to carry on their names in this way.”

Han: “Even if you drink poison here and die, your name will forever be remembered in the organization after you died an honorable death.”

Han: “…By the successors of the Jingweon Mafia.”

Jeon: “I didn't know there was such a secret in the boss's name.”

Han: “Now, take whichever bottle and drink whichever you prefer. It will decide everything.”

Han: “Will you meet a spectacular end that will leave it’s mark on the Jingweon, or will you move on to a new future as a member of the organization...?”

Jeon: “I-I understand…”

Jeon: (If I overcome this, I’ll be recognized as a member this time!)

Jeon: (If I get scared here, I'll get killed like that guy yesterday! Then I'll never get out of here!)

Han: “Come on, show me your resolve.”

Jeon: (They're both just water! I'm gonna end this quickly......!!!)

Jeon: “Kuh!”

Han: “What’s the matter? Drink.”

Jeon: “Kuhhh…..”

Jeon: “…I’m sorry boss, I can’t do it.”

Han: “What?”

Jeon: “I’m sorry! Knowing that I could die from drinking this is making my hands shake!”

Jeon: “I’m really…. I’m really sorry boss.”

Han: “…I’m so sorry. I had high hopes for you.”

Han: “But you’re a talented person who passed the exam yesterday.”

Han: “So let me give you one last chance.”

Han: “You’re gonna have to fight me. You're going to hit me with the spirit of wanting to stay alive."

Han: “Does that ultimately make you the right person for the organization? This fight will tell.”

Jeon: “! …So I need to beat you up?”

Jeon: (On the first day of the trip, the strongest among the newcomers couldn’t even scratch the boss.)

Jeon: (I know I can’t beat him.)

Jeon: (But I want to win here and be recognized by the boss! To that end, I will win here at any cost!!)

Jeon: “Let’s go, boss!! Please see my full power!”

(They fight)

Jeon: “Uguhh…!”

Jeon: (Haa… Haa…. No good! I can’t beat him after all!)

Jeon: (I couldn’t even drink the poison, so I’m done here too.)

(Han starts clapping)

Han: “Congrats. You passed the final exam.”

Jeon: “Eh!? What do you mean!? I thought I had to beat you to pass the test…?”

Han: “Huh. I never said anything like that.”

Han: “I said, ‘I'll see if you're worthy of the organization in this battle.’”

Jeon: “Then, how did I pass the exam..?”

Han: “Look at my right cheek. You got a scratch with your fist, right?”

Han: “It's okay to only scratch the surface, even if it's just a graze, and people aren’t like that in the Jingweon.”

Han: “It’s true that you refused to take the poison in your final exam. It can be said that you weren’t ‘prepared to die for the organization.’”

Han: “But now I wanted to see your "tenacity to live" this time.”

Jeon: “Tenacity to live..?”

Han: “Yes. I believe that a person with that tenacity will be an excellent asset to the organization.”

Han: “That's why, in this battle, I was allowed to test your ‘tenacity to live.’”

Han: “And you showed your tenacity and scratched me beautifully. That tenacity was near perfect.”

Han: “Congratulations, Jeon. Your name is Hare now. He was a member of the Jingweon.”

Jeon: “Boss…”

Han: “As soon as this trip is over, I want you to come to Japan with me.”

Han: “I am now the owner of a host club called Stardust in Kamurocho.”

Han: “I want to entrust you with the post of manager there.”

Jeon: “Make me the manager?”

Han: “Yes, it's an important job as my right-hand man.”

Han: “I have determined that you are the right person for the post in this examination. Will you accept?”

Jeon: “….”

Han: “What’s wrong?”

Jeon: “Thank you for giving me such a wonderful post. It's a great honor, Boss.”

Jeon: “I know you have high expectations of me.”

Jeon: “However, I don’t deserve to be entrusted with such a powerful post.”

Jeon: “So I want to be the kind of person my boss wants me to be... I want to be the kind of person he expects me to be...”

Jeon: “That's why I have to stay the way I am! That's why...!”

Jeon: “G-Guh…. Guhhh….”

Han: “Did you drink the bottle I gave you earlier!?”

Jeon: “Yes... I thought that if I didn't drink this, I wouldn't be able to become the true subordinate that the boss wanted.”

Han: “…So, are there any changes in your body?”

Jeon: “No, not at all. I drank the water instead of the poison.”

Han: “Excellent. Now you’re the real deal, you’re a member of the Jingwon Mafia.”

Han: “I have high hopes for you, Jeon.”

Jeon: “Haa!”

(Timeskip, still on the beach)

Han: “……”

Hwan: “Boss. Jeon returned to his room.”

Hwan: “I will tell those who are pretending to be dead to hide in the basement until tomorrow morning when they leave the island.”

Han: “Yeah. If Jeon finds out, that’ll ruin our plan.”

Han: “You had a hard time too, Hwan. Was it hard to pretend to be poisoned?”

Hwan: “Yes. I had temporary asphyxiation from the capsule. I’m fine now, but…”

Hwan: “...This time, the trip wasn’t only to test the newcomers, but to test Jeon specifically.”

Hwan: “You used many members of the team to give various instructions.”

Hwan: “On the first day, you tell all the newcomers, except Jeon, to go make a fool of themselves on the beach...”

Hwan: “When you gathered the new recruits to explain the final exam, you instructed them to discuss in advance and even pretended to kill one of them.”

Hwan: “What was the intention?”

Han: “I instructed them to fool around. To relieve the tension.”

Han: “If the people around you feel like they’re on a summer vacation, you'll be less nervous and it'll be easier to take advantage of them.”

Han: “And the reason I killed someone at the briefing was to make them think that they could not get out of the exam.”

Han: “If you kill someone as an example infront of everyone, they’ll be forced to take it seriously, right?”

Hwan: “I see… But why are you so particular about that newcomer?”

Hwan: “Not only that, but to trust him as the manager of Stardust…”

Hwan: “There must have been many other candidates for manager... what were you thinking when you planned this trip?”

Han: “Oh, yeah, I haven’t explained it yet.”

Han: “Well, it's getting late, but let me explain why I planned this trip.”

Han: “Have you ever heard of the name Seoul New Drug Company?”

Hwan: “N-No…”

Han: “It is one of the pharmaceutical companies in downtown Korea. Jeon is actually the only son of the president of that company.”

Hwan: “Eh!? That guy is…!?”

Han: “Yes. Moreover, according to my research, that pharmaceutical company is likely to develop new drugs soon and generate explosive profits.”

Han: “By chance while researching, Jeon decided to knock on the door of the Jingweon.”

Han: “If it turns out that the son of the president of a major pharmaceutical company is connected to the mafia, the image of the company will be ruined.”

Han: “Threatening them with that would make the pharmaceutical company one of the main sources of funding for the Jingweon Mafia.”

Han: “That's why I came up with this trip to keep Jeon from escaping from the Jingweon.”

Hwan: “To keep him from getting out?”

Han: “Oh. It seems that he didn’t want anyone to recognize him.”

Han: “That’s why on this trip, I gave him a trial in the form of a final exam.”

Han: “And by overcoming it, I satisfied his desire to be appreciated.”

Hwan: “But what if Jeon: refused to kill his comrade on the first day of the exam?”

Hwan: “And even the bottle from earlier. What if he had chosen to drink it…?”

Han: “It doesn’t matter what he chooses.”

Hwan: “Eh?”

Han: “If he were to refuse to kill his fellow members, I would’ve said: ‘Taking the lives of your compatriots is unforgivable in the Jingweon Mafia. You’ve passed the test.’”

Han: “Same with the poison vial. Both of those bottles contained nothing but plain water.”

Han: “If he were to drink the vial, I would’ve said, ‘I've seen your resolve to give up your life!’”

Hwan: “Does that mean he passed the exam no matter what he chose?”

Han: “Yes. All to satisfy his desires and make him submit to me to his core.”

Han: “The reason I gave him the post of manager of Stardust was to arouse his sense of mission and increase his obedience to me.”

Han: “With this, he will not leave the Jingweon Mafia.”

Han: “At a time when his father's company has made huge profits, it could be one of the main sources of funding for the organization.”

Hwan: (As expected of a boss. This guy knows how to charm not only women, but also men.)

Hwan: (His charisma is unfathomable!)

Han: “Well, let's go back to Kamurocho tomorrow.”

Han: “Let's begin the rebuilding of the Jingweon Mafia.”

END

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA translating this was a nightmare but also so fun, and finding out that everyone in the Jingweon has a codename after a dead member??? But what makes the Joongi’s special then? Was the original one that high ranking? I NEED TO KNOWWWW

The Fist of Reason: Majima Boss Rush

Happy 5th anniversary to rggo! hard to believe it’s been this long already

look at our festival boys! anyways lets get into this because I’m very excited

summary:

sometime after the events of Y1, Kiryu gets a call that Haruka has a fever. On his way to pick her up, he bumps into someone familiar...

[One day, some time after the strife caused by the Tojo Clan's stolen 10 billion yen was settled...]

Kiryu: Hello. ...Thank you for calling.

Kiryu: ...Huh? Haruka's got a fever? ...I understand, I'll be there right away. <scene change to outside> Kiryu: .....

<he bumps into someone> Kiryu: Oh, sorry. ???: Sorry? If sorry was enough to cut it, there wouldn't be yakuza! Majima: Ain't that right? Kiryu-chaaan!

Kiryu: Majima no nii-san!? What are you doing at a place like this... Majima: What's so weird about that? If Kiryu-chan's somewhere, then Majima is too! Majima: Outside of that, the spot where ya just rammed into me hurts like hell... Majima: Shit, ya probably broke the bone... Hehe, what're ya gonna do? Kiryu: People with broken bones don't laugh about it. Sorry, but I'm in a rush right now. Majima: Why ya bein' so cold~? We ain't seen each other in ages.

Kiryu: We can talk more next time. Like I said, I'm in a rush. Majima: Too bad! No matter what ya say, ya gotta beat me if ya wanna go!! Hehehe! Kiryu: Tch...! Kiryu: Give it a damn rest already! Haruka has a fever! Majima: ! ........ Majima: What the hell... I didn't know that. Majima: I'm sorry for this. Go on, hurry up 'n' get gone.

Kiryu: .....Damn. <he runs off>

[And then, 3 months later...]

Kiryu: ...I haven't seen Majima no nii-san around here since then.

Kiryu: (I thought he was the kind of person to come back the next day for a fight, but...) Kiryu: ........... Kiryu: (Even if I was in a rush at the time, did I speak too harshly to him...?) Kiryu: (Of course I don't think a guy like him would be dejected from that... Well, it is possible...) ???: Kiryu no ojiki (tl note: ojiki is an honorific that's literally "dad's younger brother" which is used for patriarchs less senior than your own. Nishida usually uses it) Kiryu: ...Hm? Kiryu: You're that Majima Family guy...

Nishida: About that... My boss is going to be put in jail. Kiryu: What...!? Nishida: It happened yesterday... Our family is supposed to be running a festival... Nishida: In the middle of it some thugs started acting up, and they got into a fight with our family members. Nishida: So now they've issued a warrant for my boss, since he was the one in charge... Kiryu: What is Majima no nii-san going to do? Nishida: He thinks it would be futile to resist, so he's waiting at the festival site for the police to arrive. Kiryu: What? Nishida: My boss has been acting oddly for the past 3 months or so. He doesn't have any energy, and seems pretty depressed. Kiryu: 3 months... it can't be. Nishida: And so, my boss really wants to see you before he goes to jail... Kiryu: Me...? Nishida: Yes. He said he has something to tell you, so... Kiryu: ...Got it. Lead the way. Nishida: Y-Yes sir! <they leave> Majima: ......... (tl note: I'm sorry the image of him just holding that pose in that outfit while waiting for the cops to show is so funny to me)

Kiryu: ...Majima no nii-san. Majima: ...Oh, Kiryu-chan, ya showed.

Majima: Excuse my appearance. I was up on a float till now. Kiryu: ...I just spoke with Nishida. Are you really going to jail? Majima: ...Yeah. Orders from on high, can't be helped. I'll be awfully lonely during those years... Majima: That said, I won't be botherin' ya any more, Kiryu-chan. Kiryu: ...... Majima: I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused ya. ...I wanted to at least say that, before I went to jail. Kiryu: ...That's not like you. Kiryu: Are you really going to let your underlings see you leave the outside world with such a pathetic display? Majima: ...I don't really care either way. Kiryu: ........... Kiryu: ...Good grief. You acting this way is completely infuriating to me. Kiryu: It can't be helped, this is a big favor. ...I'll get you all fired up again.

Majima: Hah...? Kiryu: You know the best way I can cheer you up? ...Come at me, Majima. Majima: ...!

Majima: Is this... are you pickin' a fight with me?

Kiryu: Heh, isn't that what I just said? Majima: ........Hee, hehehe! Majima: Kiryu-chan, you're always the best! Majima: Let's get started...! Kiryu-chan!!!!

Majima: Hehe... As always, Kiryu-chan... you're tough as nails...

Kiryu: Heh... You are too. (tl note: RARE KIRYU SMILING SPRITE)

Majima: Oi oi, you're sayin' somethin' nice? Kiryu: Majima no nii-san... I'm sorry. Majima: Ah? Kiryu: For what happened 3 months ago. Kiryu: I was flustered, and I snapped at you. Majima: ........As always, Kiryu-chan, you're soft as a marshmallow~. I'm astounded. Kiryu: ....? Nishida: E-Excuse me! Kiryu no ojiki!

Nishida: The truth is... My boss going to jail was a lie in order to get you to show up... Kiryu: What? Then... was him being depressed also a lie... Majima: It was aaaaall an act! Majima: I was pretendin' to be put off by how ya talked to me so ya'd feel sympathetic, then after worryin' ya for long enough-- Majima: I'd reveal it was all a ruse, 'n' you'd get pissed off enough to throw down! That was the plan! Majima: It played out a little differently than intended, but, we still had a fight so it's all good. Kiryu: .....Heh, you're such an ass. (tl note: TWO smiles!! unprecedented.)

Majima: What, you're not mad? Kiryu: I had a feeling that something like this was going on. Majima: Then why'd'ya fight me? Kiryu: ...When it's with you, I can go all out in a fight. Kiryu: ...If I really think on it, I guess I enjoy fighting with you. Just a bit. (tl note: THIRD smile!!!)

Majima: !!..... Hehehehehe!! Heeey~! I knew it!!

Majima: C'mon, let's go another round! Hearin' ya say that's gotten me all worked up again! Kiryu: ...Heh, sure. It's a festival, after all. It's a good excuse to really cut loose. Majima: Hell yes!! Let's do this... Kiryu-chaaaaaa~n!!!! Nishida: A-Ah... This won't end until the sun comes up...

<END>
