Journey to the West: Demon Chapter Page #4

---

You bad monkey!

There's no limit to your mischief!

I feared it might go wrong,

but I didn't expect to risk my life.

Now kneel to me.

I'll beat you until you kneel! Kneel!

Beat away.

Did you ever think how it feels

to demean yourself in front of people?

Now you know what crazy dancing

feels like.

So you know how bad I feel!

You tell me to kneel like a dog before you.

You know how humiliating that is?

You're right. I did manipulate you.

So that you'd know how indignity feels.

I see.

Now that you've said all that...

-...I'll finish you off with one slap!

-Go ahead!

I'm ready for it.

I'd rather die than suffer this torture.

All I wanted was to tell you:

Do unto others...

...as you'd wish them to do unto you.

I'm sorry, I'm at fault.

Stop, don't try that on me.

You're right, we should treat others

as we wish to be treated.

I've punished you by making you dance,

by taking away your dignity in public.

Now I realize

what a loss of dignity feels like.

I've been wrong

to call you "Bad monkey."

I've beaten and scolded you all day long.

I've been oblivious to your feelings.

The problem here is me, not you.

I'm the one who spreads unhappiness.

Now I realize my mistakes.

Please forgive me this once.

Give me one more chance, forgive me.

Master's conscience

is awakened at last.

Don't you see what he's doing?

Master is skilled at tricks like this.

This is "advance by retreating."

To admit a mistake at the right time...

...can win people's hearts.

Master often seems silly...

...but he knows how to manage risk.

Master...

...I guess I overdid it.

Please get up.

I actually care a lot for you.

I just didn't know how to express it.

Master, I know in my heart

how you feel about me.

From now on, though,

don't ever make me do crazy dancing.

But frankly speaking, Monkey,

you're good at it.

Don't even think that, Master.

Please stop calling me "Master."

We're sworn brothers for life.

So just call me "Elder" from now on.

Elder.

Elder!

See that, Pigsy? How well it works?

They're all but kissing. Impressive, no?

No entry to the palace,

on pain of death!

-Pardon us, we wish to see the king.

-Master....

-Why are you back?

-Minister, I've been thinking.

I can't leave things as they were.

I need to restore my reputation.

Master, please get away

while you still can.

If you come back, there'll be carnage.

Minister, I value my reputation.

How can I be a good monk with a bad rep?

How dare you return!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

-Monk Tang has something to say.

-Your Majesty, please calm down.

What happened before

had nothing to do with me.

It was all caused by my errant disciple.

So I've brought him

to apologize to you.

And while we're about it...

...we'll conquer a demon or two.

Monkey.

Come on, hit me.

Are you a pervert?

Brilliant.

A game is just the thing

to appease the king.

Master Monkey, let me run through

the rules of this game.

Master, I don't think

we'll meet again in this life.

Hit me.

Can't you do it harder?

You haven't eaten yet, is that it?

Out of the way!

Danger!

Red Boy.

-Monkey.

-You show your true face at last.

I saw from the start there was something

odd about you. According to legend...

...you own the long Firecloud Spear.

And move on...

...the flaming Golden Wheel! Well met!

So you're the Monkey King.

Let's see your tricks.

Show your senior the best you can do.

Foul play?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Master, over here.

Three-Tier Fire!

Take that!

The palace.... It's in ruins.

Ruins!

Stupid monkey, don't hide!

Come out to face me!

My turn!

Help!

Help!

Gentlemen, was there an earthquake?

Please rescue me, I've wet myself.

Your Majesty.

Wait.

Let me do it.

What a cute, little monster.

I've subdued it, keep it as a souvenir.

I will chant sutras day and night

until its evil nature is defeated.

I'll do my best.

The king.

Your Majesty!

Thank you, Your Reverences.

We have our real king back at last.

We've prepared lavish gifts for you.

See for yourselves.

The palace's 3000 beauties.

-Choose which you like.

-All for me?

Too few? You can have the throne too.

Calm down, Your Majesty.

His Majesty is offering...

...ladies-in-waiting for your journey.

-So it is.

-I'm grateful for his generosity, but I....

You think we're the types to accept

such a gift? Women make us seriously ill.

Put me in charge of them,

see how badly I treat them all.

Come on, the fish is getting very dry.

Put that to good use.

Your saliva smells bad.

Don't be picky.

Master, kindly accept them.

-At least one or two.

-Yes.

There's no rush,

I'll handle them one by one.

If Your Majesty insists on repaying us,

maybe I can suggest something?

Could you free these ladies?

Sure, no problem.

Anyone who wants to leave can leave.

No blame attached, you have my word.

Your Majesty...

-...aren't you being too generous?

-I feel like crying. All those women...

...they're ugly-looking gluttons.

Any one of them could eat

a whole cow for breakfast.

You can go, you're free.

Being imperial concubines is fine.

Why would we want to leave?

Damned bald monk,

who do you think you are?

-If you stir things up, we'll sort you out!

-You think we're vain?

We're sacrificing ourselves

on the altar of love!

Monk Tang, get out! Protect our love!

Monk Tang, get out! Protect our love!

Monk Tang, get out! Protect our love!

Monk Tang, get out! Protect our love!

See how they love you?

I'll kick your balls!

-I'm sorry.

-You'll never have children.

Calm down, you can all stay.

I want to die.

-That one.... That one is....

-Me?

You, the one in black at the back.

How come I've never seen you before?

This lady is a newcomer.

She's a songstress.

What's your name?

-Felicity.

-Since you're a songstress...

...give us a quick song...

...to send the masters on their way.

Yes, sire.

As a monk, I renounce you.

Yesterday, today

The past has slipped away

Without makeup

Colors fade

All through history

Love endures

Your love awaits your return

Wandering beyond the clouds

Love sickness

Begets sorrow

In this world

Fate is immutable

Let it go

We cannot be together

Is this truly our destiny?

Splendid! Her artistry is magnificent.

Master.

What is it?

His Majesty asks if you'd like Felicity

to accompany you on your travels.

Out of the question!

I'm going west to find sutras

and cultivate myself.

She couldn't make

such an arduous journey.

I have burned incense

and prayed to Buddha.

I am a devout Buddhist.

We must brave the elements

with little to eat.

A young woman couldn't endure it.

I'm not afraid, my family was poor.

I've done household chores

since I was young.

-I'm accustomed to hardship.

-Wonderful!

What touching words.

This songstress....

She can sing, dance, cook, and wash.

What a resource,

at home and on travels.

-Still....

-Master, you really don't want her?

I don't.

You won't regret it?

No regrets.

Master, please take time to reflect.
