Treasure Chest at the Bottom of the Sea Translation Chapter 7

Chapter 7: The Riddle
Kotone: He said we'll have to overcome trials, but what do you think we'll actually do?

Shizuku: I'd be happy if we're doing something that's less physical......

Kotone: If you keep saying that you'll get fat~!

Shizuku: I am keeping a diet properly....!

Shizuku: A dead end?

Kotone: We've probably gone the wrong path. Shall we turn back?

Yumine: Wait, it seems that there's something written on the walls over here.

Kirara: Let's see.... "If you wish to advance beyond here, answer the following......"

Kirara: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?" ....and so it writes.

Shizuku: A riddle?

Kirara: Seems like it.

Kotone: But the answer has got to be that.

Yumine: Yeah, it's nothing but that.

Kirara: You knew the answer to this question?

Kotone: It's a well-known riddle over in our world. You see.....

Kirara: I understand now. The answer is this after all.

Shizuku: However, is the answer really that simple?

Kotone: But we don't know any other answers aside from this. Shall we give it a go and answer it?

Shizuku: Good point. Umm, the answer is.....

Yumine: Surely, it's a "BL situation"!

I'm trying to make some sense out of Yumine's answer. This is in and of itself a riddle.

Shizuku, Kotone, Kirara: Ehh.........

Yumine: Why is it incorrect!? Walking on four legs.....that's the scene where 2 boys encounter each other, isn't it!?

Yumine: Their friendship grows as they head into town....but this is when A hurts his foot.

Yumine: What means by two legs in the afternoon, is the situation where B carries the injured A like how a prince carries the princess.....

Kirara: Umm.....isn't the answer that Kotone-san taught me, a person, good enough for that?

Shizuku: Ah, the path has appeared. As expected, this answer is the right one.

Kotone: Okay, let's head to the next one!

Yumine: And what means by three legs in the evening is that they're sleeping together on the bed......Uhehehehehe....

Kirara: Alright. Yumine-san, let's move on.
