Bloody Monday 58

Chapter 58

147

Minami: Could there be some other reason?

Minami: If there's something here that they absolutely need for...
Minami: their "final objective"...

Fujimaru: What could be here?
Fujimaru: Isn't it just a school?
Fujimaru: It's just the school I attend...
Title: File 58 Attempted Escape

Minami: Let's go!!

Minami: This way!
Minami: If we come from the other side...

Minami: Uh!!

148

Fujimaru: Minami-san?
Fujimaru: What is it?

Minami: ...It's one of the guards.

149

Minami: It was a single shot to the head.
Fujimaru: H-his head is split open...

Minami: It was a hollow-point.
Fujimaru: H...
Fujimaru: Hollow?

Minami: A hollow-point bullet.
Minami: It's a bullet with the tip hollowed out.

Minami: They're killing bullets that turn mushroom-shaped when they hit. That causes their ability to kill or injure to increase.

Minami: The fact they're being used here means you were right.

Minami: Jack Damon is definitely here.

Fujimaru: Jack Damon...

150

Minami: And the fact that they would get someone on the ICSI list to do this...
Minami: means that they really are going to do something important here.
Minami: But why here...?

SFX: Bang
Fujimaru: Another gunshot...
Minami: This one...
Minami: was this way!

Minami: Kh.
Minami: The firewall is cutting us off from the stairway...
Fujimaru: We can use the stairs on the other side!!

Minami: Damn it...this one, too.

Minami: Is there an emergency stairway?
Fujimaru: No.
Fujimaru: If there was one, the rush of students would be too dangerous if something happened.

Minami: So they're trying to keep us trapped on this floor.
Fujimaru: Eh?
Fujimaru: Are they idiots?
Fujimaru: This is a school. There are windows.

151

Minami: No.
Minami: That may be true, but this area is low class, so there are no buildings nearby.
Minami: A lot of the time the only windows are in in the front and the back...

Minami: So I wouldn't be surprised if someone trapped us on this floor...
Minami: and is standing guard outside.

152

Fujimaru: Waah.
Minami: It looks like he's standing guard with a night-scope.
Minami: Their plan was to seal of the stairways and snipe anyone who tried to escape through the windows.

Minami: And we can't contact anyone. We're like trapped rats...

153

Fujimaru: Wh-what about everyone else?
Fujimaru: Dad, Otoya, and the others...
Minami: Don't worry.

Minami: Kanou-san went to were Kujou is, so they must have met up.
Minami: If he's with them, they won't do anything careless.

Fujimaru: Damn these terrorists...
Fujimaru: What are they planning?
Fujimaru: Why...? How can they go this far...!?

Minami: No matter how I think about it, something's going to happen at this school.
SFX: Kshhh
SFX: Kshh

Minami: Calm down.
Minami: Getting impatient won't accomplish anything.
Fujimaru: But...

154

Minami: Since we don't know what's going on, I know it's hard to just sit around...
Sign: Biology Supply Room
Minami: but the enemy can see us and we can't see them.

Minami: If we try to do anything in this situation and get shot, we'll have lost everything.
Minami: We have to wait until morning.

Minami: I'll stand guard, so you can get some sleep.
Fujimaru: I'm not going to sleep.

Minami: Just...
Minami: do it!

Minami: Go to sleep.

155

Minami: Your weapon is up here, right?
Minami: If you're sleep deprived when we need you, you'll just be a burden.
Fujimaru: ...Understood.

Fujimaru: But I'm not sure...
Fujimaru: whether I'll actually be able to get to sleep!!

Fujimaru: Bh!?

Fujimaru: Thank you...
Fujimaru: very much.

Minami: ...Just get to sleep.

156

157

Jack: No changes from the front.
Jack: It looks like they've realized that they can't escape through the windows.

Jack: And there are three people stationed in the back.
Jack: This is more boring a scenario than I thought it would be.

J: That may be.
J: Those are the members that you taught how to snipe.
Jack: I know they'll do their job.
Jack: They picked it up quickly for being from a country without guns.

158

J: Maybe they just had a good teacher?
Jack: Thank you, "J".
Jack: With you praising me like that, I should be able to look forward to a bonus.

J: Understood.
J: I'll have to think about...
J: giving you a special reward.

Jack: Ha ha.
Jack: I'll be looking forward to it.
Jacob: A...
Jacob: reward?

J: Yes.
J: A most...
J: special one.

J: Now then...
J: Jacob, Cain, and Abel.
Cain: Yes, sir.

159

J: You three will be meeting up with a separate unit in 4 hours.
J: You should go get some sleep now.
Jacob Who will be the commander...
Jacob: of that unit?

J: It'll be the same as in the...
J: original plan.
Jacob: So...
Jacob: Maya.

J: Are you dissatisfied with that?

J: I thought so.
Cain: ...No.

J: It can't be helped.
J: She managed to clear her name of those failures.
J: And this is what "K" decided.
J: We can't just go against "K"'s orders.

J: And to leave this to someone who hasn't been struggling along with us for these 2 years...
J: Doesn't it...
J: give you something to think about?

Text left of Haruka: Haa...
Woman: What is it, Haruka-chan?

Haruka: I can't contact my brother or the others.
Haruka: I even tried to contact Otoya-san, but his phone is out of area and he isn't responding to my emails.

Woman: Is that so...? I'll try to contact them too.
Woman: But Investigator Minami is with him.
Woman: You don't need to worry.

Woman: By the way, where did your brother go?
Haruka: Minami-san didn't tell you?

161

Woman: No...

Fujimaru: There's a chance there's still a spy, so don't tell anyone where we're going.

Fujimaru: If something happens, we'll contact them.
Woman: Haruka-chan?
Haruka: Ah.
Haruka: I...

Haruka: don't know where they went.

Haruka: Um...I'm going to go to sleep.
Haruka: I'm tired from all that's happened...
Woman: Yes, you should get some sleep.

Woman: We'll be standing guard in the hallway.
Woman: The window is bulletproof but it doesn't have a lattice.
Woman: so don't unlock it.
Text left of woman: Good night.

162

Fujimaru: I was exhausted and eventually fell asleep.
Fujimaru: In my brief moment of rest...I had a dream.
Fujimaru: That setting repeated countless times and...
Fujimaru: was burned into my eyes.

163

Fujimaru: aa
Fujimaru: aa
Fujimaru: ah!!!

People: It hurts.
People: It hurts.
People: Uhhh
People: Aaah
People: Ah
People: Help

Maya: I need to completely get rid of...
Maya: the file of the "Christmas Massacre" video.

Fujimaru: Why!?
Fujimaru: Is there still some secret in "this"...?

Maya: If you knew...
Maya: you'd become one of them.

165

Fujimaru: Haa
Fujimaru: Haa
Fujimaru: Haa...

Minami: It's time to eat.

Minami: It's already dawn.
Minami: And this is going to be a long day.

Fujimaru: ...Okay.
