Persona 4 7

I admitted that I semi-cheated with the Shadow Yukiko part by taking two lines from the English official translation, but...even my brother told me that I'm way too naive. (Seriously, I don't get it... ._.")

PS. Chie's expression on the last page PWNED! :3



Persona 4
#07 "Amagi Yukiko (part 1)"
Pg. 1
Yukiko - So...have you got used to the school and this town yet?
** DC comic "Persona 4 vol.1" & "Persona 3 vol.5" on sale on September 26. **

It must be tough for you to be transferred to a completely new place like this.
[Seta Souji-kun just moved here some days back due to his parent's work,]

[while I'm born and raised in this town the whole time,]
[as an only daughter to the traditional top-class hot spring hotel, "Amagi Inn".]

[I was trained to become a hostess ever since I'm young, and always think that I'll live this town forever.]
I've never been out of this town, so I wouldn't know how you feel...
[But, that's alright]
[since I really like this town.]

Pg. 2
Ah...
How've you been with Chie then? Are you getting along well with each other?
...You know, Chie is really a trustworthy person.

I've always followed her.
We're in the same class last year too, so we usually hung out together...

...It's raining rather hard.

...I've to go help out at the inn now.
Ever since the case with Announcer Yamano, the media are being really rough that my mom becomes ill.

Pg. 3
The inn really needs me.
[But sometimes, this thought just flashes into my mind:]
[Someone please,]

[take me out of this place!]

Pg. 4
Chie - Yukiko...

-- 04/23 SAT --
Yukiko isn't here!

...What should I do? That thing really is true then,
about that...
anyone who's shown on the "Midnight Channel" is related to "that world".

Pg. 5
Yukiko was on it yesterday...
I really think it was her.
The clothes she wore was similar to the one she always wears at her inn...she even wore it during the interview a few days back.
She was surrounded by media since Announcer Yamano was staying at her inn before she was murdered,
and the interviewer was calling her the high school hostess, and saying annoying, inappropriate stuffs to her.

Souji - Have you contacted her?

Chie - I did tell her to take some rest since she looks really
tired lately, but she'd tell me that she'll come to school today...

And when I saw the "Midnight Channel", I got worried about her and sent her the mail last night, but she didn't respond.
Hanamura is saying some weird stuff like
people who's on that "channel" will be thrown into "there" as well!

Pg. 6
Yousuke - Calm down, Satonaka!
We've to confirm that she's fine or not first.
Phone to Amagi!!
Chie - ...Alright.

No way...
she's not picking it up.

Pg. 7
Yousuke - Seriously? Then she really
is inside "there"...?

Chie - Stop it! She got to have some other business..
Maybe she's helping out with the inn, so I don't think she'll be able to pick up the phone...
Yousuke - Weren't you the one who said she's coming!?

Chie - Pick it up...
I'm begging you.

Pg. 8
Yukiko?
Good God~ You're there!

Yep...yep.
Oh, alright.
Nothing. I'll mail back to you later...

She said a group reservation came in, so she has to help out at the inn.

Ah~ Come to think of it, this always happens at least once a year, isn't it...?
And here I am, being too worried about nothing!
Thinking something like "Maybe Yukiko got in there...?"!...Gosh.

Yousuke - You rash girl.
Chie - Sorry...
[But the next day]

[Yukiko really is gone.]

Pg. 9
Adachi - Ummm, well, should I tell you guys?
But if you're Amagi-san's friends...
then guess it's alright?

Amagi-san's family called, saying that Amagi-san had gone missing since last night.
It was Saturday, so everyone was busy, but when it becomes dark, Yukiko-san is nowhere to be found.
Ah, but we can't conclude that it's a crime yet though!
The polices are all nervous as well...whether this may be the continuation of the corpse of a missing person reappearing in the foggy night.

The most suspected one, the Enka actor, Hiragi Misuzu, was performing abroad at the time of crime, and her alibi solidly points her as being innocent.

Her husband, Namatame Tarou, was indeed shaking, but nothing else special.
The secretary was fired from all the clamor regarding Announcer Yamano, lover's problem and the murder.

Pg. 10
Maybe she was the first victim or something like that,
they said. Haha.

Ah, but did you hear about that? Like how Amagi-san was really in pain.

You see, since the first victim of this murder, Announcer Yamano, was at Amagi Inn.

Announcer Yamano was pouring awful comments about the reception's attitude at the hostess,
and the hostess fell ill from her stress.

You know, Amagi-san is the hostess's only daughter, so...maybe she was thinking about stuffs?

Did she ever hint something like running away from home?
Some even say that she was out "hiding" due to some "inconvenience"...

Opps, guess I shouldn't talk too much. Sorry, you guys.
Just forget about that then.

Pg. 11
Yousuke - ...That Amagi.
Don't make yourself suspicious. But we can't really count on the police for this then.

So we're pretty much confirmed now then. Dammit! Amagi is in a deep trouble right now...
Chie - We...We got to rescue her! What should we do!?

Yousuke - Calm done. Let's first talk to Kuma.

Hey, Kuma. Are you there?

Pg. 12
Souji - ...He bit me.
Chie - There's even a bite mark.

Kuma - What, what? What's this game you're playing?

Yousuke - This isn't a game! Is there someone inside there?
Kuma - Who's this someone then? Kuma is a lonely boy as usual though?

Pg. 13
Just a lonely boy as usual though?

Chie - Shut up!
So no one is there, right? You're sure?
Yousuke - Well, can you sense anyone else in there then? Like with yesterday.
Kuma - Sense...?

...Kuma do faintly smell something new here though-kuma. As if there really is someone here.
Kuma's nose once again tells of a solid story-kuma.

Yousuke - ...You sure we really can count on you?
Souji - That hurts...
Kuma - That's rude!

Yousuke - All right then. Kuma, will you follow that smell you're talking about? We might find some clue to the "culprit".
Kuma - Gotcha-kuma.

Yousuke - Let's all watch that "channel" today. We'll decide on our move from that.

Chie - Yukiko...

Pg. 14
Yukiko - Good evening to all~
[High School Hostess. Commense! Operation: Score some Hot Studs!!]

Umm,
tonight, I, Amagi Yukiko,

is going to go score myself a "hot stud"!
[Aww.]
Titled:

Pg. 15
[No Hoax! Princess Yukiko,]
[Search for Prince Charming!]

Aww, I'm blissed!

I even got my lacy unmentionables on.

Pg. 16
Aw <3
Wanna see it!?

Aww~
I'm so enthusiatic that I even built myself a personal host club.

Pg. 17
Then, here I go~!!

Chie - ...What the heck is this...

** Even Chie is shocked!! An unbelieveable tergiversation of Yukiko!? **

Thank you for reading...
