Treasure Chest at the Bottom of the Sea Translation Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Umi and Otohime
Yasuna: Owowowow..... I just got scratched a bit.

Kotone: Yasuna-chan, are you alright?

Yasuna: With only this much I'm fine, cause I'm constantly trained by Sonya-chan!

Shizuku: Smooth words does make smooth ways, huh.....

Otohime: You see Umi-chan, I once thought that I can change Ryūgū Palace for your sake.

Umi: For my sake?

Otohime: Yeah. I still wanted to play together with you, even when I became an adult, so I wanted to make Ryūgū Palace a peaceful place.

Otohime: For that Hime studied lots, and trained hard on discipling bad people.....

Otohime: Then I thought I'd make everyone happy by working hard, and I'd do better because of that,

Otohime: but as I work harder and harder, it's just that I don't have any time together with Umi-chan......

Otohime: So I thought if I turn myself back into a kid, I'd perhaps have the time to play together with you once again.....

Yumine: So that's what happened.

Kon: There are times when she still wants to play, no matter how great of a governor she has become.

Yumine: You're right. Work is certainly a great matter, but it's also important to take rests sometimes.

Kirara, Kon: .......

Yumine: Huh? Did I just say something weird?

Kon: "This situation"? To think that sometimes even Yumine-san would stop imagining things too.......

Yumine: I can read the atmosphere too, alright!? .....But no, this situation too is......

Umi: I'm sorry......I haven't noticed this earlier.

Otohime: It's okay. I'll forgive you. ......Hey, the tamatebako is still here right? Give it to me.

Umi: Are you really sure about this?

Otohime: Isn't it Umi-chan who told me it isn't right to say that I don't care about everyone?

Otohime: That's why I'll have to work hard for everyone once again. This time can Umi-chan help me out as well?

Umi: Of course.....!

(Transition)

Otohime: Because of me, I've caused so much trouble for you all during your journey.....

Kirara: It's fine. I'm glad that you seem to be back to normal.

Yuzuko, Nadeshiko: ......

Otohime: U-Umm..... Is there something wrong?

Yuzuko: Ah, umm, the tamatebako you just opened was the one that makes you older right? Yet I can't see the difference here.

Umi: For us sea creatures, which Otohime-sama and I are a member of, our appearances don't really change even as we age.

Nadeshiko: Eh? Then by any chance that Umi-chan and Otohime-chan are super old grannies?

Otohime: .....Who knows, but we won't really stop people from asking.

Yuzuko: Ah, I've been deceived.

Otohime: It's a secret♪ Umi-chan, please lead the way for everyone.

Umi: Yes. Otohime-sama, we'll be off now.

Otohime: .....Don't.

Umi: Eh?

Otohime: It's not Otohime-sama, but I did tell you to call me Hime-chan didn't I? Umi-chan is my friend, right?

Umi: B-But......

Otohime: Umi-chan.

Umi: We're in front of Kirara-san and the others, they're our guests here......

Otohime: Umi-chan.

Umi: We'll be..... off now. ......Hime-chan.

Otohime: Okay, take care.
