[Chrollo] Uvo-san, can you hear us? We dedicate this requiem to you.

[Dramatic sounds of crashing and banging]

[Chrollo] Uvo-san...Oh? Huh?! Uh-oh! I’m falling! U-Uvo-san!!!

[Uvogin] Boss...What are we going to do if you don't survive the requiem? ════════ End of track ════════

08.

[Auctioneer] Sold for 7 million! Let’s continue.

[Shizuku] Next is..This? Copy it please.

[Kortopi] Okay. Gallery fake.

[Shizuku] Okay. Paku, you hold it.

[Pakunoda Okay-okay

[Auctioneer] Starting price is 1 million.

[Hisoka] This is boring. Is there nothing entertaining to do?

[Auctioneer] Sold for 7 million. Congratulations!

[Machi] But, it’s true what they say about how money goes to where money is. Spending all those cash...

[Shizuku] Yep. They could even reach one billion. Just one after another.

[Hisoka] Money..? Money, huh? That’s it!

[Machi] What’s up with you? Shouting all of a sudden.

[Hisoka] I came up with a great idea.

[Machi] A great idea?

[Hisoka] I'm going to join the auction too.

[Machi] Huh? Do they have something you want?

[Hisoka] Nope. I’m going to put something up for sale instead.

[Shizuku & Machi] Huh?

[Auctioneer] Alright! The next item is from The Phantom Troupe’s member number 4. An extremely rare item in the entire world, written down by Hisoka. A collection of poems called “I want to gouge your eyes out.” The starting price is 50 million!

[Machi] Expensive!

[Bidders] 55 million! 57 million! 80 million! 90 million! 92 million! 96 million!

[Auctioneer] Sold for 96 million! Congratulations!

[Machi] For that garbage looking thing. What even-

[Shizuku] Those last bids went up pretty close.

[Hisoka] Urk. It didn’t reach 100 million.

[Machi] I still don’t think it was anything special even if you were able to sell it.

[Hisoka] I was going to publish it if it sold for over 100 million.

[Machi] You even thought that far.

[Phinks] Alright. In that case I’ll sell mine too.

[Auctioneer] Well then, let’s continue! Another item from the Phantom troupe! This time it’s something Phinks has worn up until September 1st...That thing!

[Phinks]   How much will It be...

[Auctioneer] Sold for 2.5 million!

[Phinks] Cheap!

[Feitan] Well, what you expect.

[Shizuku] Franklin, what are you going to auction?

[Franklin] Me? What I’m auctioning...? maybe my finger?

[Shalnark] You can auction off your finger, but the thing is, will it sell?

[Auctioneer] Well, everyone. Finally it has come to the almighty hidden gem for today’s event!

[Phinks] What is it?

[Auctioneer] The brigade Goddesses who wandered through York New! From bloody massacre to cleaning up messes and patching up injuries! But even these Goddesses also had their own dainty feminine days. Here is the evidence! This time the amazing items are Machi’s loose socks and Shizuku’s spare glasses!

[Other members] What?!

[Machi] As expected you have a spare.

[Shizuku] I figured I'd sell something with this much value.

[Auctioneer] Starting price is 100 million!

[Bidders 1.5 billion! 1.6 billion! 

[Shalnark] 1.8 billion!

[Machi] Shal?!

[Franklin] 2.0 billion.

[Feitan] 2.3 billion.

[Phinks] 2.7 billion!

[Hisoka] So this is where we compete...5 billion!

*Kapow*

[Machi] What the heck are you guys doing?!

[Phinks] What do you mean? We won’t let these commoners have those valuable items so we...

[Hisoka] Are buying it.

[Machi] Hey.

[Auctioneer] Well, we’ve reached 5 billion. Any other bids? How about it? If there isn't any then it will be sold for 5 billion to Hisoka-

[Kortopi] I’ll bid 10 billion.

[Other members] What in the?! 

[Auctioneer] So no other bid? Since there isn’t any. Sold for 10 billion! Congratulations!

[Kortopi] Alright!

[Other members] Don’t go “alright” on us!

[Machi] No way. Kortopi..?

[Shizuku] That was unexpected.

[Auctioneer] This has been a very exciting time for us. Now, the following item is the last one from the troupe.

[Feitan] Whose?

[Auctioneer] Pakunoda, who is the very definition of "the troupe’s intel woman." She refused to be outdone by the young girls and participated in the auction herself. The item is this leopard-printed bathrobe that she wore last night!

[Pakunoda] Ahahaha~If these guys were that enthusiastic before, they would have been more so for me this time around. ...Hm? Huh?

[Auctioneer] What’s wrong everyone? This is still a rare item you know.

[Pakunoda] What do you mean by “still”, huh?

[Franklin] Hmm. Can’t help her case.

[Auctioneer] Umm. Let's just get going! Since the person in question has high hopes for this, the starting price is 100 million, just like the previous item! … Uh...We’ll start with 50 Million! 

[Pakunoda] Hey! Who told you to lower the price?!

[Auctioneer] 25 million! 10 million! 7 million? 3 million?!

[Auctioneer] Ooh! Someone raised their hand! Sold for 3 million! Thank you very much! I’m truly in your debt! You are a real man!!! 

[Pakunoda] Enough with the gratitude! Don’t clap! Ugh! How come mine failed?!

[Hisoka] That’s…

[Other members] Because you’re old. 

[Pakunoda] *shrieks*

[Machi] Paku is broken.

[Shalnark] You guys are merciless!

…

[Phinks] So...compared to Paku mine is even cheaper, what does that make me?

[Franklin] How would I know? ════════ End of track ════════

TL Notes & Commentary:

Ok but I've always wondered did Chrollo, or the building he’s in get hit by a helicopter? 😭

[Feitan] Finally we got off. Train too crowded. I hate. 

[Phinks] What’s the hotel called again? 

[Shalnark] It’s Beitacle Hotel. I think it’s that way.

[Old lady] Excuse me. Which way is the Ivone mansion??

[Shalnark] Huh? Are you talking to me?

[Phinks] Sorry, Granny. But we’re not from around here. You should ask someone else.

[Feitan] Get out of here or I make you suffer.

[Shalnark] Hey, don’t threaten her. She's just an old lady, you know.Grandma, we apologize, but we really don’t know.

[Old lady] It's right across from the Beitacle hotel. Didn’t you just point that way?

[Shalnark] Ah! Haha.

…

[Feitan] So, why Shal carrying granny on his back?

[Old lady]. I’m sorry for the trouble.

[Shalnark] It would take more time if we walk together.

[Feitan] Better if she manipulated with black voice.

[Shalnark] I can’t do that!

[Phinks] Geez. Shal can kill someone without batting an eye, yet he’s oddly generous.

[Feitan] You one to talk with the bags in your hands. Who you fooling?

[Phinks] I couldn't just leave Shal to do all the work. But, I didn't think I'd actually carry these.

[Feitan] If you no want, just say so.

[Phinks] If I did, would it change anything?

[Feitan] Better if I cut granny’s head off. No need manipulation.

[Phinks] Cut it out! Why are you always so quick to kill people?

[Feitan] Destroy nuisances, destroy obstacles. No other way.

[Shalnark] Haha~ Don’t say that. Helping out someone once in a while isn't a bad thing. The occasional philanthropic operations are also a part of the Troupe, right?

[Phinks] Well, we have to balance a little bit of our bad reputation with good deeds.

[Feitan] Can our bad reputation... cancel out with just this?

[Phinks] Hahaha! Makes sense!

[Feitan] Why you laughing? I not understand.

…

[Shalnark] I see. So you’re going to meet your grandson.

[Old lady]. It’s been 5 years so I'm very excited.

[Feitan] You becoming soft. Shal, you just like an ordinary guy.

[Phinks] You appear like a fine young man.

[Shalnark] I'll take that as a compliment.

[Old lady]. No, no. It’s not only about appearance. Your friends are also fine young men. That one over there even with his unfriendly look, he’s quite a nice person too.

[Phinks] Good for you. You got a compliment.

[Feitan] It not for me. It Phinks.

[Phinks] What are you saying? I’m not even close to looking unfriendly.

[Feitan] Not even close? but you the worst there is.

[Phinks] What does that mean?

[Shalnark] Come on. No quarrel between members of the troupe.

[Feitan] Phinks is the one out of control. I am calm.

[Phinks] Tch. This guy.

[Old lady]. Now, now. The young man with the narrow eyes is just acting tough. You are good friends with the two, right? Thank you.

[Feitan] If you want to live and meet your grandson, w-watch what you say.

[Shalnark] Oh~? Are you...embarassed?

[Phinks] It's not every day he’s praised.

[Feitan] Get moving.

[Shalnark] Alright. Here we are.

[Phinks] Here you go, Granny. Be careful with your belongings.

[Old lady]. Thank you very much. You guys really helped me. So sorry for the trouble.The least I could do is to give you these.

[Shalnark] No. There’s no need.

[Old lady]. It’s fine. Listen to the elderly.

[Phinks] Then, I’ll gladly take one.

[Old lady] Here, you too.

[Feitan] Me? I no do anything!

[Old lady] It’s alright. Just take it.

[Feitan] Fine.

[Shalnark] Well, we’ll get going!

[Old lady] Thank you very much, you youngins.

[Phinks] TIme to go. See you, Granny. So, what did she give us?

[Shalnark] This is some kind of sweets, right? Isn’t this what they call mooncakes?

[Feitan] She gave the troupe mooncakes as thank you. What a joke

[Phinks] It’s good enough, isn’t it? For an old lady, it's the best she could do.

[Shalnark] Let’s try one out.

[Phinks] *Munch* It's sweet! No good. It’s too sweet for me.

[Shalnark] Hmm. Sweet foods are not my thing either. Let’s just give them to Machi or Shizuku later.

[Phinks] Ah. Right.

[Feitan] *Gulp* It too sweet but...

[Shalnark] Hm?

[Feitan] ...it not bad.

════════ End of track ════════

TL Notes & Commentary:

The old lady actually called Phinks いかちい / 厳つい "rugged/stern look." Used to refer to someone with a scary face and seems unapproachable. And yes, Phinks was oblivious to the fact that he does look rather unfriendly.

It was really hard to purposely mess up Fei's grammar yet also make it sound adorable in a way, so I hope it turned out okay!

[Nobunaga] Boss…!

[Machi] This is because you’re..dense.

[Shizuku] That’s right. Boss is unexpectedly dense.

[Pakunoda] Yeah. If I don't bring it to him, he'll definitely miss out on his meals.

[Kortopi] He’s also greedy.

[Machi] Rather than greedy, he’s kind of possessive, isn’t he? That time I accidentally ate his pudding. After that, for two or three days, every time he saw me he said "pudding… my pudding…"

[Shizuku] Ah! The same thing happened to me too.

[Machi] Such a mild stalker, that guy.

[Pakunoda] But that part of him is cute.

[Nobunaga] That’s because you coddle him all the time, Paku. He’s always gonna be like that.

[Kortopi] Discipline is important.

[Pakunoda] Discipline..? He’s not a dog.

[Machi] If he were a dog, he would just come back on his own.

[Shizuku] Way better than boss, huh.

[Pakunoda] No way… Boss doesn’t need to be taken out for walks, nor does he wet himself.

[Nobunaga] Paku, you’re not making him look any better.

[Kortopi] More like dragging him through the mud.

[Shizuku] Ah! They’re here!

[Phinks] Explain the situation.

[Shizuku] In my case, it was almond jelly.

[Phinks] Huh?

[Feitan] What talk about?

[Machi] We’re talking about Paku coddling the boss too much, which makes him become more like a possessive stalker.

[Shalnark] I'm having trouble following all this.

[Nobunaga] In short, it's about how Boss sulks when Machi accidentally ate his pudding, and when Shizuku accidentally ate his almond jelly.

[Feitan] Straight up.

[Phinks] I get what you guys are saying. Back then, I had eaten his Azuki bar, then he stood by my bedside for three days and three nights.

[Machi] You too, Phinks?!

[Shizuku] I see that you have also been victimized by his unexpected side!

[Phinks] Why is the LEADER of the Phantom Troupe that upset over an ice cream in the first place? While he has us at his beck and call at all times.

[Shalnark] Well, that can’t be helped since we're his subordinates, but over an ice cream..? That’s kinda petty.

[Phinks] I know right?

[Pakunoda] Well, Boss is a person who likes ice cream!

[Kortopi] Pudding and Jelly-

[Pakunoda] Those too.

[Machi] That’s why I call him spoiled.

[Nobunaga] He cherry-picks the good stuff after al.

[Feitan] That, I understand. Boss the type to order from the secret menu at a sushi restaurant.

[Shalnark] Now that you mention it, he never eats the crust of a bread, right?

[Machi] That time, he ate only about five centimeters of the middle of a watermelon that had been split in half.

[Kortopi] Who only eats the strawberries on a shortcake?

[Shizuku] Ah. One time he snatched my food that I left out to eat last.

[Pakunoda] That also happened to me…

[Phinks] Not to mention he only ate the burnt rice of a stone-grilled bibimbap.

[Machi] Jeez. Our Boss is really hopeless, huh.

...

[Chrollo] I have no value as a hostage.

TL Notes & Commentary:

I've seen some people say "Chrollo eats pudding like a pig" which is half true. Kortopi called him 意地汚い, meaning "greedy, gluttonous, and piggy-like." More on how he hogs his food, less on how he eats it.

The almond jelly is 杏仁豆腐. A jellied dessert made of apricot kernel milk, agar, and sugar.

Machi actually says 粘着質ストーカ. 粘着 literally means “sticky”, so he’s really clingy and persistent. I think Machi is so done with danchou, hence the choice of words.
