Namusan!Namusan!...Aaah!...Aaah!Ahh...Ane-san is in so much agony....Ahh...Ane-san is in so much agony....It must be vexing, trying to create an equal world.I just hate not being able to support her at times like these!Whaat? It'll be all right if we support her by doing all that we can, won't it?You're right! Okay! Let's do our best!What do I do about Unzan?...Nazrin and Ichirin... We have two "rin"s living here, after all. I should definitely give everyone the same sort of nickname, as a plan to bring out a sense of identity and increase our unity.First off, I can be "Hijirin". Nue is "Nuerin", of course.The problem is the other two... "Toramaru Shou" and "Murasa Minamitsu"... "Toramaru Shou" and "Murasa Minamitsu"... Ah, what should I do, what should I do? Well, I'll just try attaching it like normal to start.For starters, if I do it the normal way, Shou will just be "Shourin", huh. ...But "Shourin" is a little, hmm... she's not a temple, after a... hm, temple?
"Shourin" is the Japanese pronunciation of Shaolin, the famous Chinese temple....No, no, no way. Well, then, maybe "Torarin" is more... ah, that's cute.Yeah, that's cute. It's decided. "Tooorariiin-chaaan".Hmm, then, Murasa is... "Mitsurin"? "Mitsurin" means "jungle" in Japanese....No, no, I don't get it. It's not a pun or a talking point. There's nothing clever you can say about it. I'd better get more serious.Mmm, but "Minarin" sounds like it's talking about someone else. In that case, is "Murarin" the safest choice, after all? Mine is based on my family name to make Hijirin, too, so we're equal there... ah, Nue.Mmm, but "Minarin" sounds like it's talking about someone else. In that case, is "Murarin" the safest choice, after all? Mine is based on my family name to make Hijirin, too, so we're equal there... ah, Nue...."Hourin" would be perfect, in a sense, but it's a different kanji. ..."Juurin"? No, no, no, no.
"Hourin" means "wheel of dharma," and "juurin" means to trample on, in Japanese.Ah, but Ichirin and Nazrin's use their first names, so maybe we all should all match up that way... ...What should I do? "Byakurin"... sounds like it's talking about someone else. "Renrin"? No way....Ah, but... if we do that, Shou and Murasa will just end up more complex, so I'll just go back to the drawing board...Somehow, their sense of unity got stronger.Somehow, their sense of unity got stronger....Is it okay to put a captain in the jungle? Somosan! Seppa!
"Somosan" and "seppa" are words used when asking and answering a question/koan in Zen Buddhism.If there are too many crewmen, they'll steer into a forest when they try to hide the ship! Because it's made of wood! What the hell?!
"If there are too many crewmen, they'll steer the ship up a mountain" is the Japanese version of "too many cooks spoil the broth".
