Traumeister 1

Well here it is! Thanks to SS's site (And not you losers that aren't scanning!) I managed to get my hands on the first chapter. It was a rather easy job (Save for the raw being a bit tiny...) So I was able to get it done in record speed. If you like what you read SCAN IT. I'll be glad to offer my assistance in making it readable in English.

Traumeister
Nakayama Atsushi

Chapter 1
Automan

(TN- The kanji reads ‘Freedom of reality’)

Girl: Ungh

Aaah!!

Guy: Your struggling while valiant….

Ends here.

Traitors….

Must die!!!

002

CHAPTER ONE: AUTOMAN

003

Guy: Those who oppose Shandora become mincemeat!

Go forth!

My Automan of beauty!!!

Guy: …!!!

Dammit! My incense is…

004

Guy: Using that water to give yourself a chance to escape?

Dammit! My Automan disappeared!

W..Wait!!

Girl: This is my chance to make some headway and hide before he sees me.

I have to hurry though, if I get caught again they’ll kill me for sure!

{Before that happens, I have to find it!}

{The light of hope that will shatter Shandora!}

005

(Sign- Onigaeshima 3 *Lit- Demon island*)

Oni: GYAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!

(Bottom Kanji- End)

???: Finally it’s over…

I can’t believe we waisted time coming here…

This crappy movie…

Not even three year olds would be afraid of something like this..

No wonder we’re the only ones here.

Sorry Picasso-kun.

You must be bored out of your mind…

Hmph

Hahahahahah!! Wa—Wait Picasso-kun

You, Mr. ‘I’m-not-scared-of-anything’ is breaking out in a cold sweat?

You’re scared? Of this pathetic movie?!

Picasso: Oni scary !! Oni Scary!! Oni Scary!!

(TN- Two things. He pretty much repeats this over and over, so scantlators can do what they want with it. Secondly, I’ll use ‘Oni’ rather than demon, since I think it flows better.)

006

Guys: And?

How’d your date with that hottie go?

Dumped again huh?! Hahahahahaha!!

Guy2: Too bad.

Guy: So what’s this one? The 10th?

11th?

Or maybe 12th?

Picasso: IT’S THE 13th!!!! DO YOU GUYS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!

Guy: GUAAAH!!! You’re mad at the wrong person!!

007

Picasso: For laughing at me, you have to eat this!!

My Boogerburger!

EAT IT!

Guy: Ewww!! Take it ouuut!!

Urgh!! I swallowed!!

Picasso: Come and get ‘em!

Fresh off the grill! Boogerburgers!!

Waitress: Sir! You can’t do that!

Picasso: Handsome.

My fashion sense is off the charts.

I’m better than your average high school student!

Right?

Guy2: Well you do have an edge over others I suppose, but you’ve got one ‘major’ problem.

Guy: And your ‘major’ problem has you 13 for 0 right now.

Need I remind you?

008

Guy: An Oni

Trama.

Well that’s that I guess.

I mean what chick’s gonna want a dude who freaks out at scary movies?

None! You’re pretty much doomed buddy.

Guy2: In any case, I believe in you…

After all Picasso, you’ve got to have other good qualities right?

Guy: Lets see if I can think of any….

009

(Sfx- Gyahahahahahahah!!)

Guy: My bad! I really really tried but it just came out!

Dude you’re worthless! Hahahaha!!

Picasso: Jerks! You think it’s funny to laugh at other’s problems?!

Get out of my sight!!

Guy: Sure. There’s this girl I wanted to take out later anyway.

Guy2: If you manage to find a girl to bring with you, you can come hook up with us later.

Both: That is if you can.

Picasso: Get lost!!

010

Picasso: Who needs girls?

An elegeble guy like me can find one in the wind if I wanted to. I don’t need a girl to be happy.
Whoa…

Then again, if I had her with me…

I’m pretty sure I could manage something…..

011

Meh, no point in worrying about it.

After all this train’s gonna leave in 10 seconds. She can’t possibly make it on..

Huh…maybe I’m still freaked out…but she can’t possibly be…

RUNNING AS FAST AS THE TRAIN IS!!!!!!

012

Picasso: Whaa---

Gyaaaaahhhhhh!!!

I’m so dead!!!

Wait…I’m alive?! How?!

How can I—

Guwahh!

013

Girl: I finally found you!

You’re the light of salvation for this world…..!!

I’m Sujata.

How about…

A little date?

Picasso: Wh---

Why with this crazy girl?!?

014

Sujata: Vihara!

Splendid!

And this is your home?

Picasso: Wai---Hold the phone! Why the heck did you insist on coming to my house?! Moreover…HOW did you know this is my house?!

Sujata: Psychic ability…

But I suppose you’ll need proof to believe in me?

If I look into your eyes, it all becomes clear.

Let’s see if I understand everything….

Your real name is ‘Hika Souma’ or ‘Picasso’ for short.

162 cm, 53 kg…Birthday is April 13th, and you have A type blood.

You don’t have a girlfriend although you’re 17 years old….

And…

015

You have a traumatic experience with oni.

Picasso: HAGAYAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAHH!!

Waaaaaaaah…..

Sujata: How’s this?

(Paper- Oni)

Picasso: AAAH!!

Sujata: Growl!

Picasso: GYAHHH!!

016
Sujata: These beings you call ‘oni’ have become synonymous with ‘fear’ in your sub conscious.

This is what is commonly known as a ‘Trauma.’

Why is it that you fear them so? Even with my power I’m not sure…

Picasso-kun, would you please tell me your reasons?

Picasso: No way. I just managed to get to a point where I could stomach it…

Why should I tell this weird girl about that?!

Especially when she claims she can see into me by looking in my eyes/!

I’ll never tell!

I have the pride of a Japanese man…

Burning within me!!

Ah….

Never mind, I’ll start talking…

017

{It all started back in day care…}

{There was this girl I liked….Ranko-chan.}

{She was pretty popular with the kids in the daycare.}

{I thought to myself, I’d DIE for this girl}

{It was something I believed in.}

{My heart was…}

{Ranko-chan’s property.}

{Then came the day where we played tag…she came up and said to me..}

Ranko: I don’t want to be ‘it’

So you do it Picasso-kun.
Picasso: Okay!!

{It was the first time she talked to me.}

{So I stupidly did whatever it was she wanted, just so I’d get on her good side.}

{After all this was the class idol, Ranko-chan! I’d be her demon any day.}

{So after we did rock paper scissors that day, we started playing…}

{And I was the guy stuck being ‘it’. All seemed fine and dandy…}

{Etc….Etc…}

018

{Flash to elementary school….where nothing had changed.}

{I was still young and in love.}

{She kept right on using me too, making me be it in our games of tag…}

{But one day in sixth grade things changed….}

Picasso: It’s Ranko-chan!

???: But is that Picasso guy serious?

Picasso: Talking about me?

???: He always wants to be ‘it’ when we play tag….is he some type of sadist?

Maybe he’s no good at hiding…

So he has to take what he can get?

Probably!!

Picasso: What’d they say?!

???: Ranko-chan…what do you think?

Picasso: Idiots, Ranko-chan would never….

Think badly of me!

(Background- I won’t allow you to be so mean to him!)

Ranko: Yeah, he’s lame…more like…he’s creepy!

Ever since we were little, he’d stare at me with this ‘look’ you know? It was really gross.

019

Well let’s go play something else. I’m tired of tag.

Sounds good.

(Handwritten- I’m the demon… Ranko-chan is cute….Really creepy…You’re creepy)

020

Picasso: From then on, whenever I hear the word ‘oni’ I freak out….

I know it’s been eight years since then, but I can’t help it…

No matter what I do I can’t seem to change…

Sujata: I see..

(TN- Tag in Japan is ‘ONI-gokko’. I could have put it down as that…but it would have been confusing. However, that’s the connection between Picasso’s fear of ‘oni’ and what offset it.)

Picasso: Craaaaaap!! I went on and on about myself!!

Here it comes!! The part where she laughs at me!!

Just like all the rest of them do!!

021

Sujata: You poor thing…

{……wha?}

Sujata: Never fear though….I saw it in your eyes..

The wings of bravery reside in your being.

Picasso: Wings of….bravery?

Sujata: Are you ready?

022

Sujata: I’m going to summon it.

Picasso: What the heck is that? Fireworks? An Incense stick?!

What are you calling out?!

WHoaa!!

Th—the smoke is…?!!

023

Sujata: Just as I said, my eyes sensed it.

You have what’s essential to use it.

Picasso: It’s getting all inside me!!

I can’t breeeeaaath!!!!

Sujata: The ‘Counter soul incense’ is deep deep within…

It’ll penetrate the deepest, darkest corridors of your heart and then….

Expel your Trauma!!!

024

Monster: UOOO

OOO

O

OOO

O!!

(TN- How…awkward to write…)

025

{A…..Demon?!!?}

Picasso: What the hell just happened?

What is THAT?!

Where the heck did it come from?!

Oh geez….

If only I had a bike to get out of here…

026

Sujata: This is…

Your Trauma Picasso-kun.

The Counter Soul incense summoned it.

It resided deep within your body, and has now taken physical form.

Picasso: Hahaha….

That’s stupid----

Sujata: To take the trauma out of your body and then use it as a tool..

We call this…

{The Automan.}

027

Sujata: Although…

To be honest, I’ve never seen such a big Automan before….

Monster: UROAAAAAAH!!!

Picasso: EEEE

YAAAHHHHH!!

Monster: UROOOHHH!!

Sujata: Oh no!

It hasn’t gained a sense of ‘self!’

Up until now, no matter what kind of automan comes out…

It usually is able to follow the master’s commands and fight for him..

Such a huge amount of power…

Maybe it’s too much for one like him to control?!

Monster: UORRAAAAAHHH!!

Sujata: Guh!

028

Sujata: Your master is that boy there!

Darn it! It’s not hearing anything I’m saying!

It can’t be helped…Picasso-kun, Listen to me!

This is your training!

Picasso: T-Training…?

Sujata: The Counter soul incense brought this out, but you have to defeat it!

This is the only way it’ll obey you.

So…

You have to subjugate your trauma!

029

Picasso: D---Defeat it?!?!?

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO…..

Listen lady! Nothing works for me!

I don’t have a girlfriend for a reason….

Don’t talk like that.

Let me make it clear. The Counter Soul incense will burn for only 10 minutes.

You have to subjugate your automan by then!

If you should fail…

The consequences will be dire…

As at that time…

Picasso: A---

At that time….?

030

Sujata: The Automan will take your body…

‘You’ will cease to exist. Your entire being as you know it, will die.

Picasso: N…No…!!

No waaaaaaaaaaay!!!

031

Shouldn’t you have told me this first?!

How the heck do I defeat this monster?!

I’m SO dead!!! VERY VERY DEAD!!

Sujata: Calm yourself Picasso-kun!

The Counter soul incense doesn’t just summon automan as tools!

In your hand is the ‘sword of bravery’!!

Picasso: Huh?

Sujata: This is your weapon!!

You can use it to bring the automan to a hault!

032

(Handwritten- Compact.)

Picasso: WHAT CAN THIS DO?!?!

GYAAAH!!

Sujata: I forgot to mention…

The sword of bravery is always the same size as the sword in your pants.

Sujata: Just kidding….

Picasso: UAAAAHHH!!!

She’s got time to make jokes?!?

Sujata: He wasn’t listening…

033

Picasso: Hah…

Hah…

Why is this happening to me?!

In any case, I should be fine if I hang out here…

Hey wait…that Sujata-chick…

I wonder how she’s doing…?

Holy crap!!

This is no good…

I’m out of here….

034

Monster: UOOOOOOH!!!

Picasso: Go ahead and laugh..

But Oni and I don’t mix! Any other mythical beast, and I’d be all over it…

I know it’s just a stupid game of tag, but still! I can’t help it!!

I just can’t…

But….I have to do something…

I can’t even move…

I just …Oni’s are….Oni’s are….

035

Sujata: I can’t do anything to stop him….

You have to…

Picasso, you have to stop your automan…or else…..

Picasso: B…

But….But…

Sujata: It’s easy to simply use your fear of trauma as a crutch…

Everyone has something that they fear after all…

But you’re wrong….your true fear isn’t the oni…

It’s not that at all…

It is…

In fact something you’ve misunderstood.

{One shouldn’t flee from trauma, they should instead climb upon them, and conquer them using the power known as bravery.}

036

Sujata: I can see them….they’re defiantly there your wings of bravery…..

037

Sujata: You can do this, because they are there.
So go forth and fight…

If it’s you, victory is certain.

038

Sujata: People can….

Certainly rise to their true potential.

{One musn’t flee from Trauma,}

{They must climb upon it.}

{Climb on them with the power known as…}

{Bravery……}

Picasso: Sujata-san.

If I use this…

Will I really be able to defeat him?

Will I really be able to take down my trauma?

Sujata: Yes.

With your little sword…

Picasso: Seriously…you need to work on encouraging people…

039

Monster: UOOOOORRRRRR!!

Picasso: Damn!

Guess I gotta do this!
