Bibiko: Ah---About that / Sora isn’t the worst this time, he actually scored higher than one person.
Mihiro: !?


Pg 11
Mihiro: Se…ri…ous…ly? A person who’s more idiotic than Sora actually exists… / I bet…he…probably wants to kill himself…

Bibiko: I know

Pg 13
Bibiko: Huh…He’s not here…
Mihiro: Did he flush himself down the toilet? / That’ll be great
Bibiko: It can’t be! He hated studying so much that he ran away?
Himeko: No…This is most likely---
Ageha: Princess…Mihiro-dono // I have just received word from the Supernatural Bureau // It seems like Soraji-san’s caught up…in this time’s “Supernatural case” …!


Pg 14
Soraji: …. // … // Pwah // Thank god…! I’m alive! // Ahh----
Both: Ow

Soraji: Who’s this creep----
Girl: …!! You’re… // Kuzumoto Soraji-kun…! / Wha…What are you doing in a place like this…?
Soraji: Erm, That’s what I want to know.
Girl: Gasp /…I know…So it’s like that… // You…You came here to laugh at me! / Yes…It’s obvious…!!
Soraji: Eh
Girl: The worst student of the year…! Someone who’s lower than you…The scum of society! // You came here to laugh and ridicule me…!! // Yes…To scorn me…

Pg 16
Himeko: Nashida Keito-san…!
Paper: Case Details / Nashida Keito <14> / Due to unstable emotions, this woman can be potentially dangerous by her “Aportation” supernatural outbreak! Hurry to the hill behind the school building!!
Himeko: This is a supernatural case…! // It says unstable emotions here…But it’s probably because of the midterm results… // Let us hurry Mihiro-san! / I’m worried about Soraji-san!
Mihiro: I don’t care what happens to that airhead…/ Just doing my job, just doing my job…// And why are you both coming in the first place?
Himeko: I promised Bibiko-san! / That I’ll bring Soraji-san back!
Text(Bibiko): That bastard

Pg 17
Himeko: Um…/ Mihiro-san…Why don’t you respect Soraji-san?
Mihiro: Huh!?
Himeko: I’m an only child so I don’t understand, but don’t younger brothers usually listen to the older ones?
Mihiro: That’s just your distorted view on reality / Illusional freaks
Himeko: Is it really?
Mihiro: …Also… // The only person I’m loyal to in this world is Shin. // …That’s right. Only Shin… // I’ve never thought of that airhead as an older brother / It was Fate’s prank that he was born before me

Pg 18
Himeko: …Such hard words to say about Soraji-san…
Ageha: Princess…May I make a suggestion for you to help Soraji-sama with this issue?
Himeko: …What is it?
Ageha: The princess can force Mihiro-san to obey with her strict regime. // In other words, ending in a result like this.
Mihiro: Soraji-oniisama…/ Himeko-oneesamaaa
Ageha: The younger brother faithfully following the older…And the two kneeling before the Princess… / I’m drooling just at the thought of it
Himeko: Ageha-san! // That is a wonderful idea. We shall do just that.
Mihiro: ?

Pg 19
Keito: Sorry Soraji-kun. I was wrongfully accusing you and getting delirious. // Normally, with “Aportation,” I can only send objects through space as a transmitter. / However, if I’m agitated in any way, I will become the receiver. // Objects will just be randomly pulled in from here and there. / That’s how you got caught in this
Text(Keito): This has happened a lot of times before today. See those things scattered around here?
Soraji:..Oh---…But what are you doing in a place like this?
Keito: Nothing really. You don’t have to pry into it.
Soraji: Just now…She paused… // Oh--- I see…// Hm? What’s this

Pg 20
Papers: Get a zero Get a zero Get a zero (etc etc) // Kuzumoto Soraji // CURSE
Soraji: … / Wh-wh-what’s all this

Soraji: Scary…! // Erm...I have to study for the make-up…so I’ll be going back home!!
Keito: …
Soraji: See ya!
Keito…I see. You’re going home…Going home to study… // Studying…to score higher than me again…

Pg 21
Keito: Is there no end to this humiliation!?// You want me to continue to be inferior to you!? // You were just pretending to sympathize with my story and just making fun of me!? Am I that despicable!? // Of course! I am the plague that will spread curses / And you are the upstanding individual, RIGHT!? //Aargh I’m the worst…! I’m so sorry for being born… // I’m sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
Soraji: !?

Pg 22
Soraji: …!! // Keito wait! Calm down…! // It looks like a bunch of things are getting pulled here---
Keito: Elohim Essaim. Elohim Essaim Frugativi et appelavi** Lay down your punishment on this sinful woman.
Soraji: What the hell is she saying!? / Some kind of spell!?
Keito: …Please run
** See T/N

Pg 23
Keito: Once those finish materializing, it’ll come straight for me
Soraji: What
Keito: At 100 mph
Soraji: Major League!?* // Can’t you do something about this!?
Keito: I can’t aport the same object twice. / I’m an worthless person after all // Well it doesn’t matter. If the curse is a failure, then it’ll be redirected back to me anyways.
Soraji: I knew it was some voodoo magic! She was cursing me! // Here it comes // There’s a lot of them!! // I can only block one with my Shooting Air~~~
*As in MLB pitching speed

Pg 24
Soraji: // !!!
Mihiro:...Jeez, what a nice greeting for your guests.

Pg 25
Mihiro: Idiot. Who the hell do you think you are.
Soraji: Hiro-kyu~~~~~n!!
Himeko: Everyone…
Mihiro: Get back // Even though you have us as your bodyguards, if you get hurt we’re in deep shit.
Himeko: Look out
Soraji: Shooting Air---!! // That’s right Himeko // Just…


Pg 26
Soraji: Leave this to us
SFX: THUD
Mihiro: Don’t get cocky dumbass I don’t need you here.
SFX: Pew
Soraji: Aw, don’t be like that Hiro-kun~~
SFX: THUD

Pg 27
Himeko: …Amazing // The two are in sync…!
Keito: …Wh-what are you guys doing? Why are you protecting me? This useless being--- // Gasp / I get it! // You’re just pretending to save me to give me hope, and then crush it by abandoning me right!? Then you’ll find the horrifying way to bury me!? / Just do it now then! Strike this shell of a human…this worthless dunce---
Soraji: Someone do something about this negativity---
Mihiro: Shut the hell up already!!
Keito: Eep!?
Mihiro: …Grades don’t make who you are…I’m sure you’re better than an airhead like Sora…in a lot of aspects
Keito: Wh…Why are you spitting such false words at me…! Leave me alone!! / You don’t even know me at all!!
Mihiro: …You’re right. I don’t know you---…

Pg 28
Mihiro: But somehow…I just can’t leave you alone.
Soraji: Hu…h // It stopped…coming…? // Yes! They’re all returning…!
Keito: What’s this…This new feeling that overcomes the dark feelings I was worried about earlier…?
Mihiro: That’s right…I couldn’t leave this girl alone…since---

Pg 29
Keito: It’s…so warm…
Mihiro: Since she was saved by an idiot like Sora…and the most miserable person on Earth.

Himeko: It’s alright. / Since we’re classmates, let’s get along from now on.
Keito: Yes
Soraji: Keito…You look pretty confident! I’m sure you’ll ace the test tomorrow!
Mihiro: Who the hell are you.
Keito: Yeah… // But I think…I’ve found something more important than studies. // Mihiro-kun…Will you go out with me after I finish the make-up?
Himeko: Oh my <3

Pg 31
Mihiro: Huh? / Why? / I don’t get this freak
Text: I’ve already saved you, so I don’t need to be around you anymore.
Keito: I’m sooo sorry for askiiiiinnnnnn!!!! // Why did I even think I had a chance? Idiot, Idiot!
Himeko: Mihiro-san! Don’t you understand the heart of a young maiden!?
Mihiro: What heart?
Keito: I want to disappear. I want to disappear right now // From this worrrllddddd!!!

Himeko: …Everyone’s / Safe… Thank good..ness…
Ageha: Princess!
Soraji: Himeko…!?

Pg 38
Ageha: “Booster” // A power that amplifies other users’ powers…You can say that she brought out your true potential / That…is the Princess’ unique power. // But on the other hand…the Princess will absorb the recoil with her body… / Thankfully nothing went out of hand this time…

Pg 39
Mihiro: I see…I get it now…It’s because of that power that she’s being targeted.
Soraji: ! // Himeko
Ageha: If possible, I do not wish for her to use…this kind of dangerous power… / Once again…Please take care of the Princess.
Soraji: …/ Yeah!

Ask the Kuzumotos

(I think these questions are directed at the artist?)
Q :Which of the 4 Kuzumoto siblings do you like the best?
A: Neriko-chan. Of course, I love all the other characters like they were my children but if I were forced to pick one, then it would definitely be the Madonna of Hakuou Academy, Myoujin Neriko-chan. She was based on a classmate in my home town that everyone loved.

Q. Please tell me where you live.
In Wakou City. I somehow managed to grab a place in Saitama. Though I wonder if now’s a good time? Should I move to Kugayama…Nah, forget it. Ah. Katsuragi City. There’s no place like home. You must try our famous Yomogi mochi* at least once. The scent of yomogi is barely there.


Notes

pg 8
Himeko was trying to teach the phrase: “Let’s make a good country, Kamakura Shogunate.” (イイ国（＝１１９２）作ろう鎌倉幕府)to help him study. This refers to the installation of the first Kamakura Shogun in 1192, and the beginning of shogunate rulers, which would continue on until 1333.

Pg 10
An incantation from The Black Pullet, a grimoire from the 18th century. The book teaches the “science of magical talismans and ring.” (The Japanese are fascinated by stuff like this) including the art of necromancy.

Pg 42
Yomogi is mugwort in English, and yomogi mochi is also known as kusa mochi (grass mochi). It is considered as a spring seasonal treat.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
