Tamashina Mina spoilers part 18

A downpour falls on the arena. Cheka tells Kifaji that it is raining. Kifaji says that for the people, the rain is a blessing. However, to come down before this big event…Kifaji feels a disturbing atmosphere. Back at the arena, Sunset C is growing restless. He shouts at Vil, asking how long he intends to keep him waiting. The referee announces that it’s time to start the game. But, due to the absence of players, the referee declares that NRC forfeited. Therefore, the victory goes to the Sunset Team.

A voice cuts the referee off as they tell him to wait. Sunset C is startled. A masked figure approaches. It is not Vil. This new person looks oddly familiar. He apologizes to Sunset C for making them wait. He introduces himself as the general of Night Raven College team. Sunset B is shocked. Cheka and Kifaji merely watch confused. Kifaji recognizes the height, stature, and the way of walking. It couldn’t be! Leona! (I mean, the clothes and hair give it away…)

Sunset C asks what he’s talking about. The remaining player should be Vil Schoenheit. The masked man says he’s just a substitute player just like everyone else. There’s isn’t a problem, right? Sunset C argues that players without pre-registration should not be able to participate. He demands to know who the hell he is. The masked man says his name is…

Yuu notices the man looking over at them. He responds, saying his name is Yuu. The NRC boys are stunned.

Choice A: “T-That surprised me…”

Vil wonders why Leona used Yuu’s name. Jack replies with certainly. In any case, it would have been better to use his name. Grim argues that even his name could have been used. Lilia says Leona must’ve thought about various things.

Choice B: “No, actually……”

Lilia advises Yuu to wait. He warns him not to say something unnecessary. Vil reminds them that it would be bad if Leona’s identity was revealed. Because Leona is not eligible to compete, the team will be disqualified immediately.

Sunset C argues that he has not heard for such a player before. Isn’t this a violation of the rules? The masked man says that’s funny. He should go ask Kifaji-sama over there. Kifaji is silent for a moment before recognizing Yuu. It really is them! The referee asks if Kifaji knows them. Kifaji answers that Yuu is a student from Night Raven College whose entry was sent to him. Kifaji apologizes for not informing the judges sooner. It is a regrettable mistake.

Cheka asks Kifaji if the masked man is his unca. Kifaji nervously replies that he is mistaken. It’s Yuu! Cheka isn’t buying it. It’s his unca! He knows! Kifaji corrects him again, however. It is definitely Yuu!

Kifaji asks if Cheka understands. Leona isn’t allowed to go to the arena. If he does, the team will be disqualified. Cheka is confused. Kifaji continues by saying that this is an important match of the finals. If the second prince violates the rules, it’ll be the disgrace of all of Sunset Savanna. Cheka is doubly confused. Kifaji says that since they invited so many guests from other countries, such scandals cannot happen. Cheka is completely confused. Kifaji goes on saying that in order to maintain credibility, that masked man is not Leona. Cheka finally replies that it’s difficult, and doesn’t get it. Either way, Cheka loudly wishes his Unca Yuu good luck!

Kifaji mentions that Leona should have calculated that he would be judging like this. To make him cover for him…Kifaji realizes Leona must bear a grudge against him. But, whether Leona can win Catch The Tail depends on his ability. Kifaji wants Leona to show him his power.

Leona hums. This guy turned to Kifaji, after all. He says it doesn’t take a lot to know that he’ll be honoring the country. Well, it’s a fact that helped. He asks if Sunset C would like to thank him. Leona tells the judge to start. The problem has been resolved. The referee understands, and starts the final match. The audience cheers with excitement. Sunset C shrugs in the end. He adds he’ll crush whoever his opponent is. They’re taking Leona’s “Guardian Class”! Leona promises to defeat him, so that he won’t feel that way again. He growls at Sunset C to prepare himself!

[After the battle]

Sunset C is in disbelief. He was told he was the best at Catch The Tail among the guards in this country. Strength, speed, technique, he simply can’t win. Leona declares a checkmate, and swoops in quickly taking Sunset C’s beads right away. He curses. The referee declares Yuu the winner. Therefore, Night Raven College team are the winners!

Cheka is cheering happily. He turns to Kifaji, excitedly asking if he saw. His unca is pretty amazing, after all! Kifaji replies that Unca Yuu is amazing. Still, Kifaji comments about Leona’s overwhelming strength, and is left in awe. As expected of Leona-sama. He adds that Leona has always surprised him ever since he was a child. Kifaji says he looks forward to the future of Sunset Savanna.

Leona says that took a lot of time. Sunset C is evidently crying. He wanted to take Leona-sama’s “Guardian Class” this year. Leona pauses for a moment, but then says he has a message from Leona-sama. He apologizes about the class. If Sunset C is a real warrior, he shouldn’t rely on someone else’s teachings. It’s best to devote oneself with their own power. Sunset C realizes something. It couldn’t be…! Indeed…that strength… He chuckles. Sunset C says they lost, but he was still able to take the class. He has no regrets.

—Arena Backyard

Lilia announces that “Yuu” is back. That was amazing! Leona redresses himself, removing the mask from his face. He tells Lilia he’s Leona Kingscholar. He doesn’t know what he means.

Choice A: “Congratulations on winning!”

Leona says it’s not a big deal. It was an obvious result.

Choice B: “I didn’t expect my name to be used.”

Leona explains that Jack has an entry, and it’s possible the referee may have seen his appearance. Grim has a loose tongue, so it’s more than likely he’d give himself away. Leona thought using Yuu’s name was the safest option.

Kalim tells Leona he was really cool. They were able to win, everyone seems to be having fun, and it’s such a great festival! He wonders if Jamil is happy, too. Leona replies he’s certain he’ll be delighted. Jack says he’s sure Leona will be angry, but… Vil says they took first place. What cheating? Leona tells Jack he thought he would know the difference between herbivores.

Leona goes on saying that the rain has fallen in earnest, and the people of the country will be happy. Tamashina-Mina was a huge success. Vill mentions it’s a bad place to feel satisfied, but… Even though the match is over, and the second prince is absent, so there’s a lot of commotion in the VIP seats right now.

A tournament staff member screams that Leona is missing. Where did he go? He orders everyone to search. Leona clicks his tongue, and says they’re so noisy. He says he has to sneak back to his seat before any more people show up. As if to answer his worries, Cheka comes running to him at full speed, boisterously congratulating Ojitan on his win. Leona is stunned to see him. Lilia amusingly comments Leona’s nephew came running from the other side. Behind Cheka, Kifaji is running after him, asking Cheka not to run so much. Cheka’s guards ask that they wait up.😅

Leona says it’s bad. Since they’re all coming together, the scam from earlier in the match may be found out. If that happens, their victory will be invalidated. It’s better to run away. Kalim asks about the victory parade. Leona says he’s not participating in such a stupid thing. He’s going to his car, and bids the boys a farewell. Kalim asks him to wait. Can’t he just tell him?

Vil comments that Kalim went after Leona, too. Lilia says he’s going, too♪ There’s no victory parade without them. Vil agrees to go, as well. He’s not as boorish as to stand on stage without the lead character. Leona tells them it’s fine. Whatever! If they’re coming, they need to get in the car now!

Jack tells Leona to wait. …He’s also coming along. Grim yells they’re not being left behind!

Choice A: “Cool!”

Jack asks where? He adds that they look like a disorganized team. However, it definitely seems like Leona-senpai.

Choice B: “Looks like Night Raven College team.”

Jack agrees. It’s not a bad ending, either.

They pile into the car, and drive away. Kalim laughs. He never imagined such a victory parade. Tamashina-Mina is a very interesting festival! Lilia agrees. It was a very fun trip♪ It became the memory of a lifetime……including this last drive. Vil laments they went through such lengths to achieve a beautiful victory, they can’t just end it cleanly. Leona says everyone is being noisy. He tells them to keep their mouth shut before they bite their tongue. Time to go, and say good-bye to such a boring festival!

The End

[akimao]

2023 was a great year for One Piece fans!

This year I also started drawing zosan again and some Wano fan art (I loved this saga so much!!)❤️

[caycanteven]

Careful! Don't get too flustered~

Commission for @ask-underpressure ! Thank you so much for letting me have so much fun with your UnderPressure!Sans!!! I am so glad I could get to bring them to life and fluster them up a bit~ Check out their blog if you want to learn more about their AU! Thank you again for your support, it was a pleasure and so were you! 🫶❤️ Version without text under the cut!

[shokupanko]

It’s not Monday but it’s certainly Mayu Monday for me! This is my only artwork for March so I’ll see you all again in April or soon after! （⌒▽⌒ゞ

Pantyhose: I actually went back then forth trying to decide between bare legs and pantyhose but I ultimately decided pantyhose was the way to go. The pantyhose are meant to match the corset except no leather and comfort of course. It has lace details and a leather belt on her left leg. The lace stops around her ankles.

Hair: to stay within steampunk territory, I decided to make her hair fluffy, swirly, and lots of curl heart shapes. I don’t like to use one range of colors so I made the choice to go with my heart and make it extra colorful! (Although Mayu’s hair always proves to be a challenge (∩︵∩)

Makeup: I tried to make her extra girly- sorta 40s makeup vibe. So red lipstick and pink blush. I also tried to make her details more rounded to give a softer appearance :D

Shoes: it was my try of Mary Jane’s inspired shoes so please remember they are NOT accurate. She has small legs warmers over the shoes and tied off with pink bows, a short heel, and golden beads to go around the rim.

Gloves: blacks gloves with the tips of her thumb, middle, and ring fingers revealed, and well as leather and golden beads to go around and lace at the bottoms.

Dress: sheesh I’ll try to explain as well and possible… the dress comes with a color, ruffles, folds, and lots of lace for the underskirt. She has two belts below the sleeves to emphasize the ruffles. The dress also comes with a front tying corset that I took extra care to seem functional. The corset comes with lace, leather, and POCKETS! Because every girly in a dress needs pockets (she was originally gonna have a gun in her beta design shhh). The pockets are attached to the leather part of the corset in the back, and is also joined with golden beads? Buttons? Idk those things. She also has three rows of the golden beads on her skirt!

Hat: Her top hat is decorated in clocks, chains, and gears for a some steampunk effect, as well as a pink bow and pink bunny ears. Around the hat is black lace and under the hat is pink lace for some pop!

Happy Anniversary II

Ramshackle Dorm - Anniversary Party

Cater: “Yuu-chan, morning♪ Your sleepy face is cute.”

Trey: “Now, now. What kind of compliment is that?”

Trey: “Sorry to wake you early in the morning. Grim said he wanted to show you as soon as possible, but he didn’t listen.”

Rook: “Understandable. Grim was in high spirits for Yuu’s sake.”

Rook: “We also worked together to decorate Ramshackle dorm fit for the founding anniversary! It’s absolutely beauté!”

Yuu:

“Thank you very much!”

“It’s beauté!”

Vil: “Of course. Even though there is a gorgeous ceremony, it’s not appropriate to keep a plain appearance.”

Vil: “Go get changed and dressed. Look. Even Leona is ready.”

Leona: “That’s because you guys barged into the dorm, and said it was the duty of housewarden, and that it was a three year responsibility…”

Leona: “If you don’t like trouble, you should get dressed quickly. Who knows if the headmage is complaining about us.”*

Ortho: “Yeah. Yuu-san, let’s hurry and all head to the ceremony venue!”

Ortho: “I’m looking forward to it. My nii-san came with me today!”

Idia: “Ah, um, uh……h-h-h-hello……”

Idia: “I will definitely avoid the ceremony, but I came to Ramshackle dorm because Ortho asked me to……aren’t I great?”

Grim: “O—kay! Let’s all go to the mirror chamber!”

Malleus: “No. I can’t go to the ceremony yet.”

Everyone: “WHAT!!”

Lilia: “You said you were looking forward to the ceremony more than anyone else…does your stomach hurt?!”

Malleus: “That’s not it. We still haven’t finished decorating the inside of Ramshackle dorm yet, have we?”

Malleus: “After the ceremony, we’ll have a party here at Ramshackle dorm. Let’s decorate the room with everyone here to thank you for your care.”

Malleus: “After that, if we all go to the mirror chamber together…I shouldn’t be late for the ceremony. Absolutely not.”

Lilia: “It feels as if a flag was raised…but it’s certainly as Malleus says! Let’s decorate it flashy.”**

Grim: “Ramshackle dorm will be even gorgeous…?!”

Grim: “Nyahaha! Alright you guys, work hard for us.”

Grim: “After the ceremony, we’ll party! I’ll eat to my heart’s content~.”

Yuu:

“It’s shaping up to be a wonderful anniversary.”

“Let’s work a lot, and shorten our hunger!”

Grim: “Yeah! Because……March 18 is a special day!”

To be continued…

Notes:

I got stumped with Leona’s second line: 学園長にいちゃもんつけられても知らねぞ。Mainly this part つけられて. So, I consulted HiNative. Basically, the response I found is that it means to “follow (shadow) someone” or “mark in a negative way.” I tried to get as close as I possibly could from my understanding. I’m sure someone else will be able to translate this a lot better than me.😅

I explained this in the Sunset Savanna event, but “flag” is a slang word that means to indicate a future role in anime, games, etc., such as death, love, or survival.

ID: Mark Hamill’s tweet with “May the Force be with you” written in both Polish and Ukrainian, along with the picture of rebel X-wing, painted with the colors of Ukrainian flag, facing the imperial destroyers, painted with the colors of russian flag.
