Treasure Chest at the Bottom of the Sea Translation Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Sea Hermit
???: Since when did I have visitors coming to a place like this. To think that this time I have even got those from the land coming to me....

Kirara: Are you the Hermit who manages the tamatebako?

Hermit: Some may call me as such, but I am just an old man who has lived a long time till now.

Hermit: So then, I suppose you came here for the tamatebako to return Otohime to normal, right?

Yumine: You really know why we came here! That's really a hermit alright!

Nadeshiko: You're really quick to address the issue as you knew what's going on. Mister, please give us the tamatebako!

Hermit: I cannot.

Yasuna, Nadeshiko: Ehhh!?

Umi: But why? I'm doing this for the sake of Hime-chan.....

Hermit: Slow down, let me hear what you have to say. I did not say I am not handing over the tamatebako to anyone.

Kirara: What do you mean?

Hermit: If you desire to obtain the tamatebako, advance deeper into this cave, and there you will have to overcome trials in order to obtain it.

Yasuna: You're really a miser you know. Even though it'll be a lot easier if you just hand it over straight away.

Hermit: It is that precious. So, what will you do?

Umi: I'm going! Can everyone give me a hand as well?

Kirara: Of course. We've come all the way for this.

Yasuna: I'll still be waiting for the all-you-can-eat seafood feast!

TL: Yasuna references the Urashima Taro tale again, exactly like how Nadeshiko did in Chapter 1. Read Chapter 1 for details.

Nadeshiko: Eh? For real!?

Kirara: No one has ever made such a promise back then.....
