Hyde and Closer 2

The second chapter! Thanks a lot for the fast scan magicbulletgirl! Now My desire to translate has been ignited! But someone out there please do Gintama as well! Anyway I stuck to the last name used in magicbulletgirl's scantlation just to cut down on confusion, but other than that other things have been kept the same. Enjoy!!


{My name is Crowther Shunpei.}

{I’m a normal albeit very unlucky middle school student.}

{Is what I’d like to say…}

(Top Text- Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Crowther.)

{Apparently my Grandpa was something called a ‘Magician.’}

{And I being his descendent inherited his magical power, a power that all of the world’s Magicians want from me.}

{So now my life is being targeted by them.}

SFX (*Kyaaaaahhh!!*)

(Side Text- The second chapter of a new serialization!)

{Recently I was attacked by a fearsome magical stuffed monkey.}

{To protect me from the cursed ones…}

{Grandpa sent Hyde who saved me.}

{What’s gonna happen to me though?!}

{Tell me its all a dream!!}

SFX (*Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!*)

002

(SFX *Hatsu!* Blink)

(SFX *Gabatsu!* Whip!)

Shunpei: Hah hah…

(Side text- Last night after being attacked the Crowther house has returned to normalcy!
Thinking this is reality Shunpei is…)

Shunpei: A Dream?

Yeah! That’s gotta be it.
Magical Spells, Talking bears that can move…

Of course stupid stuff like that can’t actually happen!

(SFX- *Ton ton* Step step)

(SFX- *Hotsu* Sigh!)

Shunpei: Mooom!

What’s for break----

(SFX- *Gatchatsu* Creeek.)

003

Mom: Hyde-chan, How do you like your eggs? Poached? Or perhaps Sunny side up?

Hyde: Men always eat their fried eggs in silence!

Shunpei: H---HYDE?!

Moreover, mom…why is you two so close?!

Mom: Oh Shun-chan! Good morning!

What I knew that Hyde-chan is one more of the creations of your Grandfather’s magic.

It’s amazing what he could do isn’t it?

Shunpei: So…you already know?

Hyde: Shun go on and sit down.

Shunpei: Huh?

Hyde: Mom’s trying her hardest to rustle up some grub.

So cool your jets.

Shunpei: S—so it’s not a dream…

004

Magic Ban Removal!!! Hyde and Crowther

Second Act: Secret Room

ASOU HARO

Right Text: The Second chapter of a new serialization!

A fight that you can’t run away from seems like its started now hasn’t it?

005

Hyde: Hey hey Shun.

Whatcha mean that you can’t take me to school with you?

Shunpei: OF COURSE I CAN’T!!

It would make a huge fuss at school if you were to come along too!!

(SFX*Bubatsu!* Speew!)

Hyde: Don’t you go forgetting it now, Shun my boy.

Right now all the magicians in the world are targeting your life.

At any where and anytime they could pop up and you’d kick the bucket.

Mom: I don’t get the details…

But you should try to do your very best Shun-chan!

(Side Text- Previous issues: That day all of the magicians in the world want one thing, and that is the power of Crowther! So now the unfortunate Middle school boy Crowther Shunpei’s life is in danger! Because of this however Hyde was able to awaken…)

006

Shunpei: Ok! Absolutely no talking or moving you understand me?!

Hyde: Why’s that?

Shunpei: BE—CA----US-----E!!!

Hyde: Anyway….

You know I might have to fight against all kinds of enemies Shun my boy.

But you should also start working on practicing your own magical ability.

Shunpei: Whaaat?!

007

Shunpei: That’s impossible!! No way!!

How can someone like me do that?!

(SFX- *Bun bun bun bun bun* Spin spin spin spin spin.)

Hyde: Here Shun.

Shunpei: Huh?

{Even a Monkey can learn…}

{Magic.}

(On Book- It’s exciting! A Magic Primer!)

Shunpei: A primer?!

(SFX- *Para* Flip.)

Shunpei: The basis for magic is…

‘Strength of belief…..’

In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief…

You must first find strength in your own belief.

008

{For that sake Magicians poor their strength into accessories,}

{With this strength, they can do almost anything, even calling for the weather to change. The spells are much more than chanting poetry, but instead rely on their own aura. The Magicians take advantage of this in their art.}

{Allow this power to sweep over you like a grandiose play, filling yourself with an overwhelming self confidence.}

{Your own magical strength relies on this self confidence, of course this is a hint to hypnotize one into awaking their ability and overcoming it.}

{Truly you can use this condition to call about various magical miracles.}

{This is the only way to call upon your magical strength; and not so much the placebos such as magical drugs or other popular but wrong methods.}

{There are other wider applications for magic power once mastered.}

009

Shunpei: This just seems complicated…..

(SFX- *Patan* Shut)

Hyde: You still don’t get it Shun?

Knowledge and character come second.

Only the guys who strongly think they can do it will be able to.

That’s how that monkey was able to pull it off.

(SFX- *Getsubababa* Draaaag)

Shunpei: Your situation isn’t much better than the monkey’s you know! So you don’t need so much confidence!

Anyway! I don’t want to even hear a peep during today’s or any day’s lesson!

Don’t in any circumstance come out of that bag!

(SFX- *Ki-n Con-n Kan-n* Ding dong ding dong)

(Side- Main Characters, Crowther Shunpei- His life is being targeted by the magicians all around the world. He’s a boy who’s the main character.)

Board: Today’s lesson

Will be a science lesson- In the Science lab.

Hyde: School is…

A place with a lot of free time…

(SFX- *Potsun* shhhhh)

(SFX- *Wai wai wai*)

010

Shunpei: Sheesh…

How did this happen to me anyway?

Beside that, I’d think Grandpa would have mentioned all this magic stuff to me.

He hasn’t even been back since…

{Although now that I think about it…}

{One time does stand out in my mind.}

Grandpa: Shun my boy,

Do you believe in Magic?

Shunpei: Magic?

Grandpa: What? So you don’t know?

Well I guess the first thing I have to do is explain it to you.

When the Americans were trying to make a life for themselves out of the land that was once a wilderness….they had to maintain the land on their own.

Of course it was a time where everyone only took care of themselves.

Who decided ‘I’m gonna only worry about myself’ anyway?

011

Grandpa: To wish for help against future hardships…

And destroy all evil…

To exorcise the land…

(SFX *Pokan* clatter.)

(SFX *Go…* Clatter)
Grandpa: Shun my boy..

Watch your Grandpa do a bit of gambling.

Shunpei: Gamble?

Grandpa: These stones here will represent my area.

And you Shun my boy are trying to get in without ‘permission’.

However you want to get in though

Because there’s something here that I bought that you really would like.

Shunpei: Really?

That’s really easy!

I’ll just step right over these stones and…

012

(SFX- *SOWARI* Sheeeen!!)

Grandpa: So do you believe just a little now?

That’s ‘Magic.’

013

Shunpei: In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief,

You must first believe in your own strength.

So in the end, it comes down to me…

I only really wanted to be as cool as granddad…

But I wonder if I can really learn to use magic….

Boy: Hey Shunpei, you mind taking this and pouring in into the beaker?

Shunpei: Wah!!

Ah…Yeah!

(SFX- *Doki doki doki* Babump babump)

(SFX- *Soro* shiver…)

(SFX- *Chorotsu* pooour)

(Side text- Hyde: In order to protect Shunpei, Hyde was endowed with matical power by Grandfather. He is a living breathing magical doll.)

Shunpei: UWAHHHHHH!!!

(SFX- *Bowaaa!* Flaare!)

Girl: Gya!!

Boy: What the heck are you doing to cause that reactivity to occur?!

014

(Side- Alshid Krowser- Shunpei’s grandfather and the king of all magic. He went off to Africa, although right now his current whereabouts are unknown.)

(SFX- *Wah! Wah!*)

(SFX- *Moku Moku* Smooolder.)

Kid: What the heck is wrong with you Krowser?!

Whatever just go put it out!!

(SFX- *Zawa Zawa* ssshhhh)

Boy: Geez, this is a huge problem but normal for that guy.

Who the heck let Krowser near that beaker anyway?

He’s just the kind of guy that can’t get anything done right. What the hell does he think he’s doing here?

Boy2: For real.

015

Maid: Room service.

(SFX- *Kon kon* Knock knock)
Sir? I’ve brought some food to your room as a..

Ser----

(SFX- *Katcha!* Crreek)

Maid: What the heck is up with this room?!

Did someone leave the air conditioner on or something?

(SFX- *Hyooooooooo* Bloooooooowww)

(SFX- *Zuuuuuuuuun!* Sssshhhhhh!)

Man: Nhuh?

Maid: GYAHHHHH!!!


016

Man: What you cold or something?

Vahahahahah!

My bad about that!

(SFX- *gata gata gata* Shiver shiver shiver)

(SFX- *Pakatsu* ching!)

Man: Thanks a lot! But man is this country hot!

This is the best I can do!

(SFX- *hiyoi* lift)

Haha it helps me concentrate during my ritual!

Maid: Ri---Ritual?

(SFX- *Bari Bari Bori Bari* Shiver shiver shiver shiver)

(SFX- *Chiratsu* Chatter.)

(SFX- *Getsuuu* Dash!)
(SFX- *Batan* Shut)

Man: H-H-How rude!

My stomach isn’t even full.

It’s about time I get things started.

Gefuu

Well not for me anyway!

A wish for chaos to befall the Crowser family line.

I invoke the name of Satan to inflict pain on them

Plunging them into Despair.

Not to just kill them…

017

But a Magical slaughter!

(SFX- *Barii Bari han han* creek crash thud)

Man: Vahahaha!

Vha ha ha hah hiyahaha!

(SFX- *Dota dota dot dota* Spin spin whirl whirl)

Man: Hey hey! That’s enough of that sit still!

Thing: Vahyaha yahahah!

Man: You’ll bother the other guests that neighbor us.

(SFX- *Dota dota dota* Spin spin spin)

Man: To stop Crowther Shunpei’s heart from beating is your sole reason for living!

And nothing else!

Thing: Vahahahahaahahaahyayahahah!!

(SFX- *Dotatatatatataa* Thunkthunkthunkthunk)

Man: And with this the power of the Crowther family mine will be This Childosuki’s power!!

(SFX- *Vahahaahahahaha!!*)

018

(SFX- *Kin kon* Ding dong..)

Kid: See you tomorrow!

Ok!

Hyde: Hey Shun,

The other kids have already headed home.

Why are you hanging out here alone?

It couldn’t be because you’re afraid that if you don’t stay after school and clean up your mess,

That everyone else in the class room will think you’re some type of loser and not hang out with you

Something like that COULDN’T be it right?

(SFX- *Gehahahah!*)

Shunpei: Of course not!

That’s not it at all!!

(SFX- *Ahahaha!*)

(SFX- *Goshi Goshi* Scrub scrub!)

Shunpei: How could he possibly understand what I’m going through here?

(SFX- *Goshi Goshi Goshi* Scrub scrub scrub.)

Shunpei: Whew!

All right it’s all clean!
Now I’m going to the next room to prepare things for tomorrow.

So be a good little bear and sit here quietly!

(SFX- *Gatchatsu!* Verrrr)

Shunpei: Whew…

Done here.

Now to go home.

What is this thing?

At a place like this…

A Present?

Could it be the teacher..

Wanted to create some kind of friendship with the students?

(SFX- *Usu Usu usu* Clatter clatter clatter)

(SFX- *Shurutsu* Shutter!)

???: Open it up!!

020

Thing: Vahahaahahyahahahah!!!!

(SFX- *Dopatsu!!!* Sprrringgg!)

Thing: SURPRISED YOU HUH YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!

I’m the great Harawatasuki!

I love to eat human’s lustful desires!!

(SFX- *Vahyahahahahah!*)

021

Hyde: Shun!!

Shunpei: Uwahhhhh!!!!

(SFX- *Dadada* dash!)

I’m getting out of here!!! Hyde!!!!!

(SFX- *Gatcha!!* Click!)

(SFX- *Dopan!!* Bam!)

Thing: Vahahahahaahahahah!!!

Shunpei: Huh?!

(SFX- *Chira* Turn)

When the heck did he…

022

Thing: Where the hell you going you little brat/!

(SFX- *Zawatsu!* Slash!!)

Shunpei: Eyahhhh!!!

(SFX- *Katsu* Slash!)

Thing: Where are you looking now?! I’m right here!!

(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)

(SFX- *Gara* turn)

(SFX- *Batan* Thud!)

Thing: Vahahahahahayahhh!

Shunpei: Ah!

(SFX- *Gatsu* Grab)

Uwaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

023

Shunpei: He’s gone again?!

(SFX- *Bara bara* Clatter clatter.)

What the heck are you doing Hyde?!

Hyde: Shun!

(SFX *Gutsu* Grip!)

Get away from that door!

(SFX- *Datsu!* Dash!)

(SFX- *Vaniyaatsu!* Drrriiiip!)

024

Thing: Vyahahahahahaha! That’s pointless!

You’re trapped like a jack-in-the-box right now brat!

This room is all my territory! It’s a huge box that you can’t escape from!

Planning to escape from the window? Not happening!

(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)

Shunpei: Uwah!!

This is all about me now!

(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)

Shunpei: Ah!!

Thing: And that extra guy outside….

(SFX- *Gunyatsu* Mellt)

He can’t enter this space under any means!!

This is my magic!!

Death House!

No matter where you run or hide you can’t get away from me brat!!

025

Thing: Get it?! The only reason why I even exist…

Is to stop you from drawing breath! To observe your beautiful flat body!

(SFX- *Vahahahyahaaa!*)

Shunpei: No…No way!!

What am I supposed to do now Hyde?!

Hyde: Damn!

This guy isn’t a joke.

He’s downright annoying!

026

(SFX- *Gusatsu!* Slash!!)

Thing: I’ve already said it!!

Shunpei: Whaaaaaah!!!

Uwahh…

Uahhhh…

(SFX- *Zuri zuri* Struggle struggle.)

Thing: Vahyahahaha!!

Let me help you ease that pain by stopping your heart!

(SFX- *Hah….hah…*)

Thing: Until you stop breathing…

It’ll never ever stop!!
(SFX- *Gata gata* Shiver shiver.)

Shunpei: Uah…ah…

Hyde….

(SFX- *Vahahaha hahahaa*)

027

Shunpei: In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief,

You must first believe in your own strength.

Grandpa’s magic…

It’s the only chance I have here….

(SFX- *Zutsu* shudder.)

{Its…it’s no good…}

{I don’t have enough self confidence.}

{I can’t do it!}

Thing: Vahaha!

What are you trying to do?!

You can’t think that a brat like you…

Could actually use magic?!

(SFX- *Byon Byon!* Bounce bounce.)

028

Thing: Vahahaha That’s Impossible!! Impossible!

You might have his look but to actually perform magic..

There isn’t a hope in hell that you’d ever be a ble to do that!

You can’t hope to grasp something so complicated

Besides that do you actually think you can stand in his shado?
He’s something you could never be!

Shunpei: Yeah….you’re right.

Of course a guy like me with no self confidence… couldn’t do it..

It’s laughable.

029

Hyde: I don’t think so.

That time, you did try to run away, but when the time came you turned and fought.

It’s about time you,

Gave serious thought in believing to yourself you know?

Shunpei: Hyde!?

Hyde: Don’t listen to guys who will try to change you for their own whims.

You can do it!

030

Hyde: I believe in you.

031

(SFX- *Borochi* Drip)

Shunpei: Yweah! (Yeah!)

Hyde: That’s why I’m saying don’t sweat the small stuff!

(SFX-*Gutsu* Grip!)

Just keep calm

(SFX- *Guitsu* Wipe!)

And show me what a man you are!

Thing: Vahahahah!! What the hell are you doing/!

(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)

You ready to give up?!

Shunpei: Th…This is my territory!!

You aren’t allowed to invade…

032

Shunpei: WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!!

(SFX- *Katsu!* Sheen!)

(SFX- *BACHIITSU* CRAAASHH!)

033

034

(SFX- *bachi bachi bachi* Crash crash!!)

Thing: Avyahh!?!

Shunpei: I did it?!

Man: No…No way!!

A ‘Barrier’?!

{That’s the founding measure for magic…}

{Once you’ve mastered this basic more complex and powerful spells aren’t too far away from mastery! This is an absolute must!}

{Why is it that this little brat has learned it so quickly?}

{And he doesn’t even have to recite the incantation!}

{Just with using that stationary?}

035

{That little brat’s disposition…}

{Is gaining more and more knowledge!}

Thing: Avahvahva!

Ow!!

You little brat!! What are you doing?!

(SFX- *Guniyaaa* Growlll)

Thing: Damn! That attack just now…

Just for a second…

Managed to penetrate my space!!

Thing: Vahahahaya!!

(SFX- *Dokaaaan!* THWACK!)

036

(SFX- *Zatsu* Turn)

Shunpei: H---

Hyde!!

Hyde: That idiot sure came out of the blue.

So I paid him back in the same way.

My bad for not being more prepared Shun.

Shunpei: Ok…

Hyde; However look at yourself.

You’re becoming quite good at this.

Shunpei: Hyde!!

I---I….I

I managed to use magic!!

037
Hyde: Of course

I knew you could do it all the time.

(SFX- *Patan!* Shut!)

Thing: This ain’t no time to celebrate!!

Now the two of you are trapped in my space with no hope to escape!

There won’t be a second time!

Now prepare yourselves!

Hyde: You’d better get ready.

(SFX- *Jiiitsu!* Ziiiip!)

Now it’s about time you took a gander at my magic.

038

Hyde: Texas Chainsaw!!

(SFX- *Uuuuruuuu* Whoooooo)

(SFX- *Dododododododo* Vrrruuuuuum)

Hyde: Shun my boy, might wanna stand back.

It’s gonna get messy.

Thing: Bring it!!

Vahyahahahahayah!!
