<page 06>
Hey Mom, lend me 30000 Yen please.
What are you saying? We don't have that much money!

<page 07>
I took all my stuff and ran here.
I can't wait a single second!

Mom, if I run away he will kill me.
This all happened because you are profligate.

<page 08>
Should I kill him?

Hmph! What are you babbling you good for nothing!
What?!

Hey! Cut it out you two!

It's not much but I've 10.000 Yen.
Thanks Mom.

Tsk!

<page 09>
Don't get in my way!

Mother!

<page 10>
Mother, help me...

<page 11>
Come here you bitch!
It hurts!
Hey wait a minute!

Please calm down.
She's not a bad girl.

Hehe... I know. It's just a little marital quarrel. Please don't mind us.
Marital quarrel my ass!

Come on, get moving!

<page 12>
Yousuke, stab him!

Eh?!

You useless bastard! Go and stab him!

U...

<page 13>
What are you doing! Stab him!
Kumiko!

Uuu....

Damn!

Uuuu...

<page 15>
W-Who the hell is this?!

Ugh...

<page 21>
W-Who the hell is this old man?!

He is...

...your father...

<page 22-23>
Eh?!

<page 24>
16 Years Ago...

Hey! Get the fuck out!

This house is now ours!

If you keep staying here,
we will get you out with force!

<page 25>
Fugyaaa! {uh replace this with usual crying voice}
Fugyaaa!

There,there...

Haah...

<page 26>
Ugh...

<page 27>
Wh... What the fuck?!
A-Are you picking up a fight?!

<page 28>
Die!

#252 捕らわれの武蔵
#252 Musashi Captivated

<page 04>
I'll wrap this around your leg to keep it stable.

Dosen't it mean that...

...the heavens no longer want you to slay someone?

<page 05-06>
Nijoujou
The Kyoto Shoshidai on the north.

Musashi was confined into a cell.

That sure surprised me.

To think that you were acquaintance with Musashi, Kouetsu-dono.

<page 07>
Kyoto Shoshidai, Itakura Katsushige

I've come to confirm it.
I heard that a friend of mine was captivated...

I'm sure you are aware of the struggle to death regarding the Yoshioka clan at the pine tree of Ichijouji...
There wasn't a letter of challenge or any witnesses.
In other words, it wasn't recognized as an official duel.
Thus I ordered the confinement of Musashi.

<page 08>
He have slain 70 men!
Seems like it's the fault of the Yoshioka clan.
Guess he had no choice but to kill them all when he had to fight against 70 men alone.

If he is plead guilty, it will be just because he's too strong.

Thou shalt not worry Kouetsu-dono. Nothing bad will happen.

You have my gratitude.

<page 09>
It's best for Musashi himself that he stays here imprisoned for a while, too...
If he stays in the capital, those who have connections with the relatives of the Yoshioka clan may come here.
Musashi is currently the number one target of the master martial artist that want to make a name.
It's best for him to stay here for a while to heal his wounds...

People started to talk about Musashi lately.
There are many inquiries from various domains about his status.

Invitations to serve as a samurai...
They want to meet him and stuff...

I too received a similar letter.
You too?
They must have heard the rumor that you are a friend of him.

<page 10>
This world is still away from obtaining a peaceful life...
I guess it's normal for a swordsman to keep a ferocious tiger close to him if he sees one.
Did you see the bodies of Ichijouji, Kouetsu-dono?

I have not.
From what I have seen, this wasn't done by a human...

It's even impossible for the Shogun's instructors, Yagyuu and Ono to do that.
Most of the bodies were slain with a single stroke.

<page 11>
Get some rest.

Musashi-san,
be grateful to the one who has cut you.

<page 12>
Because he saved you
from going to the dead end of the abyss where no light prevails.

<page 13>
The dead end
of the abyss where no light prevails?

The way I'm headed?

Heh.

As if you were there!

<page 14>
Did you say something?

That was one of a heck scolding, huh, Otsuu?
Yeah, yeah {gumuu}
Ah, there! Master!

Master!

Why are you here?! {lit: why are you in such a jail}
Master! I didn't do anything bad!
Get off!
Cut it Joutarou. This time you won't get easily away with just a scolding!

<page 15>
Scolding?
It happened after you were taken in.

This is completely wrong!
Why is it Takeshi-yan's fault?!

That's right!
Give my Master back!
Hey!
You wrongly arrested him!

No, it was a real pain.
He was lucky to get away with just a lecturing.

She grabbed a government official, after all.
Geez. Cut it out already Takuan-san.

<page 16>
Don't be so reckless.
But...

Regardless of you being held imprisoned,
you are treated well.
And they allow us to talk to you, too.

We were in the middle of our talk...

Don't you think it's time for you to live a different life, Musashi?

<page 17-18>
For example together with Otsuu.

Say, Otsuu-san,
are you happy?

<page 19>
One of your wishes will be granted.

I'm sure master will live with you when he can no longer swing his sword.
That's great, isn't it?
Otsuu-san you hate the sword, after all.
Taro-chin what are you saying...

But what will happen to me?
Master won't hold a sword anymore.

I will...

<page 20>
I've lost my teacher!

Whereever I go...
Even if we are apart...
Master will be definitely practicing somewhere.
And then I'll swing my wooden sword!

That's for the best...

Because he promised...

<page 21>
That we'd become strong together!

That would have been for the best.
*Sniff* {ugutsu}
Even if we are apart...
He'll be always...
*Hick*
*Ug*

My master!
*Uuu* {retarded crying noise comes here}
*Aaaaaa* {same}

<page 22>
Woah.

Ah...

It says he wants to meet with Musashi-dono
and meet a sword instructor. {sword instructor? maybe fencing would suit better}

<page 23>
It's from an eminent person of Edo.

Just like the season change,
there's nothing that continues forever.

I wonder if your journey has come to an end, Musashi-san...

Heureka is from the same mangaka who did Historie. Heureka is a pretty cool tribute to how to kick asses a la Archimedes style.

Cavalries of the left wing! Get in the second battle formation!

Karthago army Ibérican cavalries.

<page 10>
What this?!
What's going on?!

General! The enemy is behind us, too!

<page 11>
The battle took a one-sided development.

<page 12>
The battlefield turned into a moor. The 76000 man strong Roman army was encircled by the numerically inferior enemy army and lost 50000 soldiers.

<page 13>
The battle of Cannae... The genius Hannibal's way too perfect victory made at that time a big shock for the countries around the Mediterranean Sea.

マケドニア
Macedonia

Macedonia, the strong country of the east who was watching over the progress of the war, signed an alliance with Karthago.
The supposedly "almighty," Roman Republic which was aiming to become the supreme ruler of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea was experiencing its biggest crisis...

Iberica of the west, Celts of the north and Macedonia of the east have become our allies.
Which leaves Sicilia in the south....

When you speak of of Sicilia, Siracusa comes to mind.
General, the man I mentioned before has come.

Let him in.

<page 15>
Hello.
H-Hello, General Hannibal.
I'm Epicudes from Siracusa.

Epicudes, a refugee from Siracusa saw the genius Hannibal's command and grew an adoration toward him.

You're quite reliable. I'll arrange the necessary funds and soldiers from Karthago.

Haha! I'll return back to my fatherland immediately.
We, as Karthago will completely seize Siracusa.

I'll leave it to you... When the day of success comes, you will own the whole island of Sicila. {lit daybreak}

Yes sir!

<page 16>
Oh right, Siracusa had a prodigy, too.
I wonder if he'll cooperate.

But of course!

On the other hand the Roman side that experienced an ignominious defeat...
I know what Hannibal's aiming for!

<page 17>
Roman senate
You're trying to say that Rome's dignity will sink and will be estranged by the allied nations if it keeps fighting wars, aren't you?
Exactly that's why we have to overturn the deafeat!
You can sure say it that easily.

That greenhorn can win, you say?!

He is...
Living on battlefields since he was born! He's about 30 years old. We will dispatch him as an apprentice. {年季 uh cant find a better word for apprentice}

As an apprentice?!

Then how about if we hire an apprentice who also grew up on battlefields?
He'll have full authority of our glorious Roman army and will be well payed.

<page 18>
An apprentice for the general position... One name comes to my mind.

He didn't retire, did he?

He?

With he you mean...
"The Sword of Rome"!

I see, "The Sword of Rome"!

"The Sword of Rome"! General Marcellus!

<page 19>
Siracusa, Sicilia.

Excuse me... Is this the shop of Mrs. Theimon?
Indeed. What do you want?

<page 20>
U-Um...
There's someone who's lodging here...

Hey...
Say it yourself!

Well he looks so-so...
He has a strange name...

A strange name...

Ah! You mean Damippos, right?

Right, right! Damippos!

And is he...
At home now?

He's not at home.
He took his lunch and went out.
With a girl.

A girl?!

<page 21>
On top of that a Roman girl.
He just has a weakness for them despite of being a spartan...

Y-Y-Y-Yeah, indeed...
A weakness, indeed.

This is the third one.
Nowadays such weak people are not "in".

Boy this is complicated...

Hey! How far are you planning to go?
Claudia!

<page 22>
Let's eat here.
I'm tired...

You must be kidding, aren't you? We just walked a few steps.

Just a bit more.

Ah... What a nice breeze...

Are you really a spartan?

Yeah.
To the core.

<page 23>
It's here.

Hey, hey! If you simply wander in there, you will be scolded by the guards.

It's okay. There's no one here.

<page 24>
This place is called "Tower of Bad Luck." That's why the soldiers don't really come close to it.

I wonder why is it called "bad luck."

If there'd be a war, only the soldiers in this tower will be slaughtered.

<page 25>
But there are fissures. Look.

The enemy can somehow climb up down from the cliff and attack the tower.
Oh, I see.

I wonder if I can get down...
That's dangerous! Stop it!

Let's go up.

<page 26>
Look! This is my special seat! {or special place would be better}

Pretty good, huh? You can see the see and Mt. Etna.
It would be great to decorate the bath's wall with a painting of this scenery.
Heh...

<page 27>
Oh...

Say... Why did you came here to Siracusa?

<page 28>
My home town, Sparta is currently a mess. The order and people's hearts are in a total dissonance...

I was really surprised when I went to Athenes. It was just splendid.

However here in Siracusa it's much better. That's why I decided to live here.

So you escaped from there leaving your home town...
Well... That's not a good story to be proud of...

Yeah.

But after finally coming to this city, the situation became a little fishy.
The people are pestered between the Roman and Karthago factions.

<page 29>
If this city is taken over by Karthago... What will happen to my home?

It should be fine, don't you think so too? Even though you are Roman, you are still an ordinary citizen of Siracusa.

Oh right...

How about hiring me as a bodyguard?
I'm a fearless spartan after all!
Oh boy... How reliable...

But you know, Damippos...
Yeah?
You have...

Such a weird name!
Zip it.
I saw that coming.

<page 30>
Isn't the city somehow too lively?

Long live Siracusa!

Long live Siracusa!

<page 31>
What in the world is this...
Milady!
Milady Claudia!

What's going on?!
You cannot go back to the mansion!
Soldiers from Karthago are there!

Soldiers from Karthago?

W-Who is that?

He's my friend.
But... What did happen?

Both the town council and the royal palace is taken over by the Karthagons. {karthagons? is that correct way of saying that?}
It seems there were many casualities as well...

<page 32>
Before anyone noticed, the Karthagon soldiers got mixed among the locals and were searching for a Roman person!

No way!
Then...

Yes... Your mother, father and brother were all...

Don't go!
But...

Y-You... I beg of you! Please hide milady!
Just an hour is fine!
O-Okay... But...

I'll be back by night!

<page 33>
It can't be that...
This is too sudden...

It has been 48 years since we surrendered to Rome!
We were like animals that bowed their heads and ate the bait thrown to us by the alliance!

<page 34>
But listen up! I saw the towns of Rome with my own eyes and was surprised!
It was a beautiful scenery that couldn't be compared with Siracusa.
I was left in awe that I couldn't even speak!

That bunch pretending to be our masters shower us with orders!
Let's stop showing our tail to those who are inferior to us!
Let us become at least an independent nation!

Karthago!
That's the ally that will discuss matters with Siracusa in equal terms!

<page 35>
General Hannibal who always triumphed through his battles as the victor will have the whole Sicilia Island after the war end!

He promised to give us, Siracusa that territory!

And that is our, the Siracusans dearest wish we forgot long ago!

<page 36>
And then we will be truly an indepdendent nation! Then we can talk with any nation equally!
We will be much stronger after setting foot in the land of Hellas (Greece)! A more graceful nation is about to be born here!

<page 37>
Long live Siracusa!
Long live Siracusaaa!

To be honest that was a pretty good reaction. "The opposition" is now gone, too.

Hopla!

Hey, take care of this!
Sir!
Siracusa, which was with Alexandria in the same level as Greece's highest class colonized city, annulled it's covenant with Rome that lasted over many years and fastened its bonds with Karthago.

<page 38>
You are...

Milady!
And? Did you find the whereabout of my father and the others?

<page 39>
Wel... They have been taken away to some place within the town...
But currently I have no idea about their whereabouts.

Why... Why?! We too are citizens of Siracusa!
We are born and grown up here... Why would this happen at such a day?!

Anyways you can't stay here forever. Someone must have become acquaintance with her.
Soon or later Karthagon soldiers will know about her too.

We need a bigger place...
Don't you have a place to hide? {lit room}

<page 40>
Oh, right... How about the place of the Professor your father met?
Eh?

With professor... Do you mean Professor Archimedes?

Yes! He too is a Roman!
On top of that he is a relative of the previous king of Siracusa and thus cannot be associated with the Karthagons!

Let's go! It's better than wasting time here!

Eh? Why did you turn into a child?

Because you're a memento of Kimimaro.

Come on! Hurry up!
Come on you two, we gotta run away!

Uiiiiiiiiiii!

So you were a ninja that uses water elemental techniques...
You took advantage of the soil.

I'll take care of him.
In the mean time you three should run away!

Suigetsu...

As if I'd let you run away you dimwits!

Oh... So I...
Put my life into jeopardy over and over for that bunch...

<page 06>
H-He is way too dangerous!

Guuu

<page 08>
I saw it!

Seems like he is now able to see the nature energy a little.

I did it! I did it!
Naruto-chan, take a little break and eat something.

<page 09>
Come on, eat something. When your break is over, you will lift up the rock statue with wizardry.

A... All right!

So yeah, about lifting the rock statue...
First try lifting it with the chakra you use for ninja arts.
Ugh...

O-OK...

Heave-ho!

<page 10>
Uhhhh! I can't lift it!
Okay, stop it.

Now try it with wizardry chakra.

<page 11>
Okay! Try lifting up the rock statue once again.

All right!

Uhhhhhhh!

<page 12>
Uaah!

He learned it faster than Jiraiya-chan did.

Way to go, Naruto!

Hell yeah! I lifted it!
Idiot! Don't just drop it!
What an insolence toward the ancestors...

Seems like he's a bigger dunce than Jiraiya-chan.

<page 13>
Was that from Killer Bee-sama?!
W-What did you say, Senpai?!

Let's go!
OK!

T-This is...

<page 14>
Why did Killer Bee-sama transform into the eight tails?!
Raikage-sama tried to stop him from doing that so many times, yet...
Please take a better look.
He's fighting with someone.

These clothes... Are they from "Akatsuki"?!
They are the ones that kidnapped Yugito...

<page 15>
Suigetsu is wrecked... Dammit!

We can't run away. What do we do now?!

<page 16>
Come on, Sasuke! Hurry and bite me already!

I won't let you die...
Because you're a memento of Kimimaro.

I'll take care of him.
In the mean time you three should run away!

<page 17>
Uiiiiiiiii!

Yugo is in France.

Chapter 1 Reunion

<page 06>
How nice... He travels through the world.
It's his job, after all.

Aren't you going with him?
He asks me from time to time but
I usually end up taking care of the housework.

I back him up so he can completely concentrate on his job.
That's my job.

<page 07>
Wow, you are sure something.

Oh my, if it's not Kogure-senpai.

Heyya!
Come on I'm Chiri from the North-Star senior high who was two classes below you.

<page 08>
Nakamura Chiri.

I lost of how long I was at countryside.
You have the same old look.

What are you doing now?

<page 09>
Anyways, Senpai, please put that aside and drink as much as you want.
It's on my tab.

We're going to celebrate this.

Today I've been freed from my debt.

<page 10>
So this is a reward to myself for working so hard!

I don't get good along with men...

<page 11>
Did you got married?

Nah, just living together.
And six months flew by so quickly...

He took a big loan in my name and left me with that burden.

It was really hard for me. I worked day and night and got worn out from all this.

<page 12>
Auntie, alcohol!
Give me alcohol please!

But now, everything is over!

You look good tonight.

You really did work hard.

<page 13>
And then...
I changed my mind.

Senpai, if you drink....

Hey, Chiri!

<page 14>
Oww!

<page 15>
What's up with this place?

<page 16>
You're awake?

Senpai...

Sorry for causing you trouble...
It couldn't be helped you were completely out, after all.

<page 17>
You liked the mecha stuff since senior high.
It's really amazing.

However...

Are you familiar with cellphones?

<page 18>
A customer dropped his cellphone on the store I was working till the day before yesterday. But I can't reach him.

I'll return it once I can find the owner.
Let me take a look.

The connection to the battery has been sewered.

<page 19>
It's a prepaid cellphone.

There's no name on it.

Then I don't have to return it.

<page 20>
What's up with this...

Aren't all these invalid notices?
No they are different from invalid notices and faulty ones.

All the calls that were made and came to this phone are international calls.

<page 21>
Thanks for everything, Kogure-senpai.
I'm glad we met again.

See you.

<page 22>
Chiii.

She forgot it. here.

It's from North Korea.

<page 23>
Hello. Senpai?
Chiri, is that you?

You forgot the cellphone here.
[i used it.] {mad a call}
I figured who dropped this. He said that the cellphone very important to him.

<page 24>
[He said he'd come to thank.]

[However it'd be pretty bad if it's not the real owner.]
[should I give you a copy of the data?]

Just give it back.
[Please!]

Where should I send it?

<page 25>
Kine-san!

<page 26>
I'm sorry for calling you out of the blue.

This place is a little...
Shall we go somewhere else?

That cellphone must be really important to you.

<page 27>
Then let's exchange it with the money we agreed
right here.

I see. You really thought about all that.

<page 28>
Here.

<page 29>
This is bad!

<page 30>
Oh, Kine-san.

Please don't be upset now.

I made a copy of the cellphone's data.

<page 31>
From tomorrow on, if my friend doesn't receive a video mail of me saying that I'm all right,
this data will be made public.

That bitch!

<page 32>
The police officer is looking at us, you know.

<page 33>
Thanks for today, Senpai.

Are you stupid?!
Do you understand with whom you got involved?!

Don't think you can get easily away after blackmailing the yakuza.

You're going to be killed.

What should I do now?

<page 34>
Senpai, you're not going to forsake me...

Will you?

Anyways come to my place first.
For now we will keep a low profile.

<page 35>
No way...

They found about me too!

<page 36>
Chiri, be honest now.
What are you hiding?

You're my accomplice now.
Let's run away.

Stop spewing bullshit! We've been entrusted with "everyone's" fate!

Morning.

Oh well.
How cold.

Ah, you had a wet dream.

<page 58>
I'll clean it.
Are you half asleep?

I don't really mind that.

<page 59>
I feel better now.

<page 60>
Nmu.

<page 61>
Didn't this happen last night as well?
I've to do this from time to time.

Even though you're frigid?

Sorry...

<page 62>
Physically, yes,
thought it doesn't feel like my own body...

Put that aside and fuck me harder.

<page 63>
Aa...

Aaccho!

<page 64>
Wow!

<page 65>
"The rain has the function of washing things away, while the snow has many more functions."

<page 66>
Phew the snow is sure thick.

It's because of the drift of snow. Did you forget?

And it was so warm yesterday...
The climate of this area deteriorates rapidly.

<page 67>
Does it always pile up so much?

Nah, the last time it snowed this much was about ten years ago, I think.
When I started as a watchman.

<page 69>
No fun. This is no fun.
Well, there's no helping.

<page 70>
I've a present.

He's "Realman." He's the most important person of this town.
Hello.
You are the "dead person" from the other day...

<page 71>
It's pretty rare that rock kojac fell to the street.
I don't know if I should say fell or got "catapulted"...
I had a bad timing.

It's soft. It seems edible.

It's like potato chips and blue cheese.
It has an unusual taste...
It tastes like curry.

And, what business do you have here today, Realman?
Ah, right.

There's another "dead person" at the north.

<page 72>
Are you people from the U.N.?
Why you ask?

Because of this mark.

We're not from the U.N. neither we're milkmans. Realman bought it from the "kindness store." {国連職員でも牛乳屋でもないよリアルマンが『親切屋』から買ったんだよ}
All the raw material of this town, clothes and food are from the "kindess store."

<page 73>
U.N. goods from illegal ways, huh.
Eh? Did you say something?

Why is he called "Realman"? What part of that guy who wanders like someone whose soul got extracted is Realman?
Dunno. That's just how he's called everywhere.

He's someone important who knows everything.
Unlike us, he's living alone on some big regions.

He created this town.

<page 75>
Are they the ones?

<page 76>
You sure managed to survive after being buried beneath that pile of snow .
Thanks for saving us. I thought we were going to die. I still can't believe it. We are so darn lucky to meet Japanese people in this country.

Are you two from "denpa shounen"?

Note: Denpa Shounen was a Japanese TV show where the participants had to do crazy stuff.

What's that?
When I was still in Japan, there was such a show running on TV.

We're from the next generation of that show. Our local broadcast station is short on hands and wasn't able to get any scoops so it's just the two of us now.

<page 77>
We weren't able to contact the station and the tape got cut, too. Just when we arrived at our destination a big snow storm started.

I wonder how Realman knew that these people had collapsed.
That shows how great he is. He knows everything about this town.

Won't you like to listen to our "interesting talk"?

We are "comedians."
That's what our journey is about.

<page 78>
Hello, I'm Ai.
I'm Makoto.

Together we are "Kajiwara Ikki"!

Note: Kajiwara Ikki was among others a manga writer better known for his work Ashita no Joe. Their names come from Kajiwara's manga Ai to Makoto.

Finally their show started.

Man it was sure cold today, wasn't it?
I thought I was going to die.

<page 79>
We have gone through many dangers before arriving here.
We have been stabbed by a shrimp.

Wasn't that rather a scorpion?
Sowwy.

Silly, no shrimp.

When the missile dropped while we were camping, I thought we were a goner for good.
Ah, that bamboo grass.

Don't you rather mean "looked similiar to"?
Sowwy.

When you say camping...

While we were camping some guys there tried to rape us.

Yeah, yeah, that was really dangerous.
Dangerous? You really got raped back then.

Ah, I wasn't supposed to say that?

But I'm glad they didn't kill us.
I somehow feel depressed now.
Me too...

<page 80>
Accepted.

Anyways, let's drink.
Are we really not funny?
No, no, seems like Realman really liked it.
Right?

<page 81>
Don't we have anything beside sterilized alcohol?
You can have from my alcohol.

It tastes horrible. No wonder you didn't hide it.
Is it okay?
Yeah, sure.

Our performance is much better than that porn show. I really thought I was going to die so it doesn't count as rape.
But you got raped.

This is...
like a mixer.

What's a mixer?
She's trying to say it's really fun.

Huh?

<page 82>
Uooooooooooooooh!
Nooooooooo!

That happens to him from time to time.
Can you elaborate?

Let's leave today's job to her.
Good luck, Ai-chan.
Yeah, let's leave it to her. {too long for bubble? just Yeah would do too}
Nooo!

<page 83>
Wait for me!
Noooo!

What are you writing?
My diary. I write in it every day.

Nooo!
It's okay, it's okay.

<page 84>
What's this town called?
It's called "New Tokyo."

*suck* *suck* *suck* *suck*
Noooo!

So that's how it's called.
Like a beer-hall.
It's former name was "Ariehen." This area was the capital in the 18th century. Thought it was already an obsolete place when we came.

<page 85>
"Ariehen" means in the ancient language "the sukiyaki of the next day."

Note: Sukiyaki is beef slices topped on vegetables.

Is there sukiyaki in this country?
Realman said so.
Sounds like a big lie.

Uh!

<page 86>
Today I thought it was really the end.
When I came to myself wherever I looked there was snow! Snow! And snow again! Oh boy we were in a big pinch! I had the feeling we were really going to die.

And it was then when the local Japanese people appeared out of nowhere and saved us.
Where's Realman?
He went back.

Someone really liked our performance. I'm happy! So happy!

Uooooooooooh!
On top of that Ai-chan is experiencing the feeling called love with a local man. Maybe I'm a bit jealous. Oh boy, what am I saying? Just kidding.
I'm not that kind of a woman.

<page 87>
Ah.

It's closer than before.

Will it come here?

Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ungh! Ungh!

Can we escape if it comes here?
It's pointless. It's the same whereever you escape.

<page 88>
I want to see it from closer. {uh -_-}
You will die.

Nishi-san, are you afraid of dying?
I wonder...

Anyways the morning has come, and Japan woke up. I've to work hard today. End.

<page 89>
Good morning.
Ah, we went ahead and helped ourselves. The curry flavor is pretty yummy.

Chapter 1 How to make rock konjac

<page 010>
An "enemy"?

Pfui.
<page 011>
Enemy?

Ah, right. Hands up.
Are you an "enemy"?
What do you think? Most likely not, I guess.

I see.

Then it's okay.

<page 012>
Are you Japanese?
We've been talking in Japanese the whole time.

Are you always waiting for the enemy in that hole?
Nah, last night I was thinking about this new innovation and stumbled upon a fundamental defect of it.

It's much warmer than outside.
Damn warm.

Hey, meetings like this usually happen in movies, right?
Beats me.

<page 013>
Are the ones who live down there also Japanese?
Mostly. Though most of these houses are unoccupied.

It's kind of strange to see a Japanese street in this place.
You're pretty strange too for walking through the desert in that outfit.

Hey, show me your passport.
I lost it.

Where did you come from?
From over there.

<page 014>
Over there? Don't tell me...

sfx: Thump {falling sound}

Ah.

<page 016>
I've been walking all the time. While doing so, I've been thinking about various things.
Why am I endlessly wandering? For how many days have I been walking? No matter how hard I think, I just can't remember.

<page 017>
Ah, are you awake?

<page 018>
Please don't misunderstand. I just wanted wipe the dust from your body.

I guess you have your own issues to deal with.
That stuff sticking to your thigh is blood, right?
Even though it has a different taste.{Original: "On top of that", but even tho flows bettar.}

Did you lick it?
Yeah. I licked it.

<page 019>
This is the guard house of west cliff. The west cliff's watchman isn't around right now.
I'm the east cliff's watchman. The west cliff's watchman asked me to get something to eat.

Aha...

But you were going to starve to death, right?
As you can see, I'm alive.

Uh, well... Let's just kill you off. That's more convenient for you, too. {lets act as if you were dead < literal}
I found an umbrella.

<page 020>
This isn't my umbrella. The design is different.
What? Wasn't he going to go back? And... cats?

Oh right, my name is "Higashi" and his name is "Nishi."
Oh, come on.
No, for real.

[Note: "Higashi" means "east," and "nish" means "west."]

What's your name?
Since I came from the south, I'm Minami.
Oh, come on.

[Note: "Minami" means "south."]

Have you been the watchman all the time?
Well, it's my job after all.

<page 021>
Then you'll be the first to die when the enemy comes.
Indeed, but there's no "enemy" coming.

Actually, even if he did leave his post, he would be shot to death.
Well then Higashi, you'll be shot to death.
It's all cool as long no one finds out.

Is that some kind of punishment?
I guess so, yeah. There's no "enemy" coming anyway.

If you get caught by the "enemy," you're supposed to drink the hydrocyanic acid in this capsule and commit suicide.

Wow, that's cool.
You want it?
Hey, hey...

<page 022>
Damn you sure can drink.

Is there something on TV?
There's no TV station in this country anymore.

Here's your refill.
The alcohol is pretty good, but don't you have anything else to eat besides potato chips? They're all curry flavored.

This is the only thing they sell here.
Nishi, aren't you eating?
Nah. I don't eat those or else I'll vomit.

He can't eat meat, fish or fruits. He's sick, I'm telling you.
Leave me alone.

Then what do you eat to stay alive?

<page 023>
This is sashimi made from rock salt.
I made it real moist and sliced the rock salt into thin pieces.
Oeegh!
You don't put shouyu on this salty thing.
I didn't put any shouyu on it.

[Note: Sashimi is sliced raw fish.]
[Note: Shouyu is a kind of Japanese soy sauce.]

And this is rock konjac.
"Konjac rock" is this areas specialty. We take these soft rocks and cook them at a high temperature for one week. After that, we disperse acid on it and wait three years till it crushes the rocks like we want them.
It's quite edible.
This way you don't have to worry about the hardness of the rock.
So you can live by just eating this.

And what about the alcohol?
This is alchohol for medicinal use. It's a mixture.

<page 024>
What?! 28 years old?! Your hair is all white.
I'm 19.
I've been through a lot of trouble.

Your hair turned white because you keep eating only these rocks.
If you eat that much...

Ah, sorry. I went ahead and ate it all by myself.
Nah, I don't mind.

Aaaah!

<page 025>
It's here!
He gets always an erection after eating rock konjac.

Aaah! My blood vessels feel like they're going to explode!
This has an effect like that?
Nah, only for him. He's sick.

I see, so he's sick.
Hey, why don't you do it with him?

<page 026>
Eh?
Usually I let him use my ass, but you're here today.

text in bg: Uoooooohhh

Fine. I don't really mind.

<page 027>
Ah, you bought those panties from the kindness store, didn't you?
The "kindness store" does trades even here?

<page 028>
Look, it's a pair.
Are you two perverts?
There were no other panties left.

Didn't he suddenly calm down just now?
Nope, I'm still shivering.

<page 029>
Don't you just want to do me?
Geez, no... My body is about to explode. I feel like I'm going to die.

<page 030>
Hey. I can't take something that long.
This isn't the right situation to say something like that!

<page 031>
Is it embarrassing to do it while someone is watching you?
It is embarrassing. So embarrassing that I want to die!

Yeah, and that's why you're so wet.

<page 032>
Uh...

Oooooooooohhh!

<page 033>
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Does it feel good?
I'm frigid.

Though you're all wet.
But I'm frigid.

So you're sick too...

<page 034>
Ugh. I'm cuming!

<page 035>
You still have a hard one?
I'm just getting started.

I'll cum a second time and a third time.

Ungh!

<page 036>
A light.

<page 037>
Did the war start again?
It's coming from the south.

It's been a while since war occured in this vicinity.

Ah, again.

<page 038>
What's going on in your head while you doze off like that?

Ah, there's a light again.
You're avoiding my question like that again.

If you say go and meet... Like the adventure that's about to begin.
I'm talking more of late education.

Unfortunately, I've to tell you that no adventure or whatnot is going to start. This time next week, you'll be in Tokyo.
Are you studying properly? There'll be a special program for students who live abroad. I think this will be easier for you too.

<page 039>
Are you really so worried about that light?

Don't worry. That light is coming from far away, from the shogunate army.
There's no way your dad would bring us to some dangerous country.

The air is dry which is why it seems so close to us, but in reality, the war is happening at the southern nation border.
You can't hear any guns or anything, can you?

<page 040>
See.

<page 043>
'Morning.

Where's Higashi?
He went back before daybreak.

Is something wrong?

<page 044>
No! Please stop!
But if I don't do this, you'll be killed by your own feces.

You ate so many rocks, after all.

Uugh...

Does it feel good?
Jerk.

<page 045>
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...
Just a bit more.

Oh, it's coming out.

Ugh.

Oh!

<page 046>
Oww.

So, basically, the reason why your poop doesn't get that hard is because Higashi does you anally?
Perhaps.

５　坂の上
5 On Top of the Hill

（さくら小学校）
Sakura Elementary School

はじめまして益本です。
Nice to meet you. My name is Masumoto.

- 73 -

担任の森先生が研修に出られている半年の間、　　
I'll be in charge of this class for six months

君たちのクラス担任をさせてもらいます
while your home room teacher Mr. Mori is on induction course.

よろしく。
A pleasure to meet you all.

先生ー!
Teacher!

先生のほっぺたには何が入ってるんですか？
Teacher, what's that in your cheek?

（アメですか？）
Candy?

む。
Uh.

ここかね。
I wonder if you mean this.

脂肪がつまっているんだ
It's fat. {literally: Fat has built up there}

（脂）
Fat

うむ、生徒も元気だ。
And so, how are you?

（さわりたい）
I wanna touch it.

（先生さわりたい）
Teacher, I wanna touch it!

触らせるものか！！
As if I'd let you!

（厳しいー）
He's strict!

- 74 -

ただいま。
I'm home.

どうでした学校は。
How was it?

うん。
Yeah.

退職してからのお勤めですもの疲れたでしょ。
You must have been tired by working after your retirement.

うん。
Yeah.

お父さん、昔あの辺に住んでたんでしょ？
Dear, you were living in that area in the past, right?

うん。
Yeah.

何か変わってなかった？
Did something change?

うん？
Huh?

もう、お父さんたら。
Geez, dear...

「うん」以外言えないんですか？
Can't you say anything else than "yeah"?

うん。
Yeah.

まさか学校でもそんな風にダラっとしていませんよね。
I hope you didn't learned it in the school.

心配だわ。
I'm kind of concerned.

- 75 -

生徒が元気で良いクラスだったよ。
It's a lively class with energetic students.

でももうちょっとかな。　
Maybe a little too energetic, though.

あらあら。
My, my.

お父さんは雰囲気が「校長先生」よね
My. You're giving the aura of being like the headmaster.

どういう意味だ？
What do you mean?

いえね、おおらかな感じがするなって事よ。
How should I put it. A magnanimous feeling.

これでも昔は，破天荒と言われたんだよ
Even so, I've been called unprecedented

生徒と激しく一致団結したり、　
and was intensely banded with students together,

（給食にケーキを）
Giving cake for lunch.

（宿題は巳の為にやるものじゃ）
Doing their homeworks.

しなかったり。
and did so many things.

あら初耳。
Oh. That's the first time I hear that.

学校ではきりっとしてるんだ。
So you are a useful in the school.

そういや昔学校の近くに小さな店があったな。
Of course. In the past there was a little store near the school.

よくそこに寄ってたよ。
I often used to go there.

あの店はまだやっているだろうか。
I wonder if that shop is still open.

- 76 -

今度見ていらしたら？
How about if you go and see it later?

ああ、そうだな。
Yeah, I'll.

本当は゛その後゛を知ってしまうのが怖いのかもしれん。
The truth is that I might have been afraid of that "later."

ころんだ！！
Hey!

だるまさんがころん
Darumasanga koron

だ！
da!

小森くん　田中くん　アウト。
Komori, Tanaka, out!

まあ　益本先生。
There, there, Mr. Masumoto.

もう生徒の顔と名前が一致してるんですね。　
He knows the name and face of the students already.

ほんとすごいわねえ。
He's really something.

Note: Darumasanga koronda (The Daruma doll fell down) is a game similar to red light, green light.

- 77 -

先生ー、つぎはなにする？
Teacher, what's next?

何にしようか。
Let's see. What should we do?

激しいやつは無理なので軽いやつを頼む。
Take the easy one instead of the hard ones, okay?

わかった！
All right.

校内全部で鬼ごっこ。
Now let's play tag in the entire school.

ハードパンチを持ってるねえ。
You've a hard punch, right?

いーち、にーい
One! Two!

さーん、
Three!

益本くんこれおいしーよ。
Masumoto, this is yummy.

え!?　食べちゃうの？　お店の中だよ
Eh? Are you gonna eat it? We're in the shop.

でも　おいしーよ。
But it's yummy.

うーん。
Yep.

う
Uh...

会計前のおやつを食べてはしかられたな
I was scolded for eating the snacks before paying for them.

- 78 -

食べる前に買う！
Buy it before you eat it!

買ってから食べる！
I ate it because I bought it.

あれ？
Huh?

買ってからなら食べてヨシだよ！
It's okay to eat it after buying!

ひゃくごじゅ
One hundred and fifty!

先生
Teacher.

もう昼休み終わってるよ。
The lunch break is over already.

坂の上の店？知らない！
The shop on top of the hill? I dunno.

あの坂、大変だからあんまり行かない。
That hill is dangerous. You shouldn't go there.

疲れるし。
You'd get tired.

校内全体使う鬼ごっこよりは楽だろう！
Though it's easier than playing tag on the whole school ground!

うーん。
Yeah.

- 79 -

せんせーその店まだあるよー
Teacher, does that store still exist?

（わたしの家の近く）
It' near my house.

（おさない　かけない）
The youth won't get caught

通りすぎるだけ。
It's right across the street.

いた！
There!

- 80 -

あの人がいた。
That person was there.

どうしよう。
What' should I do?

足が止まらない。
My leg's wont stop moving.

課外授業に行きましょう
Okay, let's head to the place where the extracurricular lesson is.

坂の上のお店です。
The shop on top of the hill.

（せんせー）
Teacher!

バスで行くんですか？
Are we commuting there by bus?

歩きで十分です。
It's no problem to walk there.

おやつは？
Snacks?

いりません。
Nope.

（どんより）
Eeeeh

しょんぼりしなくても大丈夫!!
Don't be demoralized!

向こうでおやつを買えます！
We'll buy snacks there.

かわいい顔してしたたかだ
Ah, that was an angelic expression on their faces.

- 81 -

お母さん。
Honey.

初恋の人に会ってくるよ
I'm going to meet my first love.

ほんと？
Are you serious?!

うそだ。
I was kidding.

でもね大事な思い出の人なんだ。
Then again she's someone whom I cherished.

浮気じゃないけど少し後ろめたいから
I'm not being unfaithful. Just checking things out.

報告しておくよ。
Let me know of it.

真面目ねえ。
Properly, that is.

うん。
Sure.

でもあの人に会わなかったら
But I think I'd have been a better person

もっと真面目だったと思うよ
if I hadn't met her.

- 82 -

買い食いがダメになった！？
Did the sweets go bad. {rotten}

学校で怒られるの
We'll get yelled in the school.

バレなきゃ平気よ。
It's fine as long as no one finds it out.

バレたら正直にあゃまりな。
Apologize properly when someone finds it out.

フフン。
Hahaha.

いらっしゃいませ。
Welcome.

私は三代目になるんですよ
I'm the third generation.

そりゃそうだ。
Yeah.

あの人は私より年上だったものな
Though that person was even older than me.

せんせー見ていい
Teacher, can we take a look at it?

懐かしいな
Ah, that brings back memories.

- 84 -

おばさーんくださいなー
Ma'am, I'd like this.

Article

子どもの頃は私もよくこの店にお世話になりまして
When I was a kid, I used to come here pretty often.

まあ。
Oh my.

ありがとうございます。
Thank you very much.

やはり私が子どもの頃とは変わりましたね。
Guess I have changed after all since my childhood.

せんせー奥のほうにすごいものが
Teacher, there's something quite awesome here!

ほお、
Oh?

なんだい。
What's it?

昔は祖母が店を切りもりしていまして．
In the past, my grandmother was taking care of the shop.

今はもう
Though not anymore.

祖母です。
She's my grandmother.

（いらっしゃい）
Welcome.

（今はもう引退したんですが）
I've retired already.

ご存命でしたか。
So it was her grandmother.

（先生失礼だな）
Teacher, that's impolite!

- 85 -

私ね
You know,

おばあ様にとても憧れていたんですよ
I was really admiring her.

え？なんでですか？
Eh? Why?

（まけて）
You lost!

（おばあちゃん　これちょうだい）
Grandma, that's a little...

（おまけして）
Leave it to me!

それはね、
That's because

とても元気だったから
she's very lively.

（甘いよ！）
Naive!

この元気な姿を生徒に見せてみたかったんです
I wanted to show her liveliness to my students.

あの人のようになれたらって何度も思いました。
I thought it would be great if they could become like her.

全てをまねはできなかったけれど、
She can't put on practice her full arsenal, though.

- 86 -

やっぱりいいなあ。
As I thought.

強い。
She's strong.

（あんたにあたしのマネなんてできないよ！）
You can't do that, can you?!

先生、また行こ−
Teacher, let's visit this shop again!

（ほら　危ない）
Hey, watch out!

今度は皆だけで行きなさい。
Next time you guys should go alone.

今日の宿題の感想文は、
The deadline for your observation log

20年後に提出です。
is to be handed in twenty years.

（えー）
Eeeh?

なにそれ？忘れちゃうよ
What's that? I'd forget it by then.

それはどうだろう。
I wonder about that.

４　ウチマス
4 Uchi/Masu

Masuda.

Uchida.

- 54 -

ケンカもした。
He'd always fight,

家出をくり返し、
Continuously run away from home,

こんなツルツル男じゃねえ。
he's not a "smooth" man.

剃るのも良いらしい
Seems like he shaves, too.

スネ毛が薄いのを気にして育毛した。
He'd think his leg hair are thin and would be concerned.

しかしそれも昔の事。
But that's past now.

オレ達は大人に向かい少しずつ変わり、
As we become adults, we'd change a little.

今は
I think,

とても丸くなったと思っている
he became round by now. {or fat}

何故だろう
I wonder why...

先生泣かしちやったな
...the teacher cried.

- 55 -

オレ達の顔が怖かったとか
Was our faces too scary?

そりゃありえない。
Nah, that's not possible.

ホトケの様な顔してるもんなあ
He made a face of a dead person, though.

あ、
Ah,

マスチンバイトの時間だよ。
Masu, it's time for your job.

やばい　遅刻する。
Shit. I'm going to be late.

あ！
Ah!

何かいつもと違うな。
Something is different.

そうか？
Is it?

マア　乗レヨ。
The saddle.

（気がついてんだろ　サドルが無いこと）
Realized that the saddle is missing.

オレ達は中学の終わりに怒らないと決めた。
We promised not get angry after we graduated from the junior high school.

- 56 -

ウッチー後ろから車来てるぞ。
Ucchi, a car is coming from behind.

おう、安全運転だな。
Safe driving, safe driving.

邪魔だ　バーカ
You're hindering me, retard.

- 57 -

安全運転しとるだろーが。
Drive safely man.

おわあ
Shit.

やばい、ウッチー熱くなりすぎだ!
This is bad. Ucchi you've become all red.

危な
Watch out!

マス
Masu.

運良く畑に落ちた事故のケガで小さくしぼんで見えた。　
Luckily he has fallen into the field, so the injury from the accident wasn't grave.

マスチン
Masu.

- 58 -

ご　ごめ
S-sorry,

ウチダ。
Uchida.

やっぱオレ達カッとなるのは良くないな。
It doesn't suit us after all.

気をつけよう。
Take care.

それにしてもウッチーにはケガが無くて良かったよ。
Anyway, I'm glad that you're not really injured.

マ……マスチン。
M... Masu.

この日以来、ウッチーは自転車すら乗れなくなり、オレ達は怒らないと誓った。
From this day on we promised. Uchida would not ride a bicycle and I would never be angry.

マスチン、バイト間に合いそー？
Masu, will you make it to your work at time?

あん？大丈夫じゃね？
Will it be okay?

遅刻してももうー人いるから
Even if I'd be late, there is someone looking after the shop by now.

確かーコ下の　島クンだったような。
If I recall correctly, his name was Shinozaki, right?

- 59 -

間に合った。
I made it.

遅いよ。
You're late.

お、店長すいません。
Oh, owner, I'm sorry.

10分前には来てよね、
If you were ten minutes early,

島くんは来てるでしょ。
you'd have seen Shinozaki.

おお　島クンすまんね。
Oh, Shinozaki, thanks man.

すぐ手伝うよ
I'll help you now.

マスダ君友達連れて来ないでよ
Masuda, don't bring your friend along.

いーじゃないスか。
Oh, come on.

あと、頭大きすぎるよ
And... Your head is way too big.

まったく
Gosh...

何度言っても直さんなあ。
It'll get healed sooner or later.

島くん、同じ高校の生徒だろ。あんなのが一緒だと困るね。
Shinozaki is attending to the same senior high. Though don't group us.

- 60 -

お先に失礼します。
We're going ahead.

働いたなー。
Man I've worked a lot.

オレも。
Yeah, me too.

ウッチーお前
Ucchi, you...

いやあ　疲れた
Tired?

ウソは嫌いなんだよな。
Lies are a no-no.

島クンいたのか！！
Guess Shinozaki did, though.

- 61 -

じゃーな島クンおつかれー。
Bye Shinozaki. Good work.

- 62 -

おじさんおごってよ。
Old man, give us a treat.

お
Eh?

度胸あるな
You got some guts...

やだよ。
Buzz off.

えー。
Come on...

おじさん働いてんだろお金持ってんじゃん。
But you worked and earned some money, didn't you?

島クンどう思うね。
Shinozaki, what do you think?

ほら、ダメだってよ。
I said no, damn it.

我慢しな。
Bear with it.

無視かよ。
Are you ignoring me?

な！
Right.

島クンもこう言って
Shinozaki said the same.

（はい？）
Yes?

おじさん頑張れよ。
Good luck, pops.

おお。（ありがと）
Oh. (Thanks.)

- 63 -

マスダ君の友達。
Masuda's friend.

たむろされるの困るんだよね。
It'll trouble me if you camp here.

店長さん、オレ自転車乗れねーんだよ
Owner, I can't get on a bicycle.

マスチンと一緒じゃねーと帰れないんだな
I can't go home without Masu.

最近やたらと万引多いんだよね
Lately shopliftings happen quite frequently.

聞いてねーな？
Didn't you hear that?

君、なんでいつもいるの？
You, what are you trying to say?

店員と知り合いだと都合いいから？
Can I be acquaintance with the clerk?

そんな事しねーよ。
Don't bother.

ん、オレ怒ってんな
Did he get mad at me?

（いかん　いかん）
Oh no.

店長さん、オレもバイトで雇ってよ。
Owner, let me work here too.

（や、君のことを疑ってるんだよね）
No. He's being suspicious.

- 64 -

万引？
Shoplifting?

ヘー、気づかなかった
I was completely unaware of that.

君のこの制服の中にレジを通してない商品が入ってるんだよね。
There are bunch of people who put good in their uniforms.

どういう事だろう。
I wonder what's it about.

ヘー知らなかった。
I didn't know.

とぼけすぎ。
Aha, feigning ignorance, huh?

知らねってほんとに。
I really don't know.

本当は何回もやってるんだろまあ今回はとりあえず、
Actually you did it many times.

バイトは辞めてもらうから。
Anyway, you don't have to work anymore.

- 65 -

こんな店やめてやるって言いたいけどさ、
I wouldn't care about this shop,

本当にやってないんだからやめれねーよ。
but I won't quit since I didn't stole anything.

やってないと証明できるのならしてみなさい。
Then prove me that you didn't stole anything.

そうするわ。
I will.

- 66 -

ウッチー、万引って好き？
Ucchi, you like shoplifting.

嫌い。
I hate it.

盗みってあんまかっこ良くないから嫌いなんだよなー。
I hate it because stealing is lame.

（後後　面倒だし）
This will be a pain in the distant future.

そうそう。
Yeah man.

マスチン店長に疑われた!?
Masu, were you suspected by the owner?

何？ウッチーも？
What? You too?

やばいキレそうだ。
This is awful.

なんとかして平和的解決を見つけたいな。
We have to do something and come to a peacful resolution.

なーなーマスチンー
Hey, Masu.

島クンとか他のバイトの人にも聞いてみたら。
Let's hear from Shinozaki if he knows anything.

そだね。
Yeah.

あん時同じシフトだったし、
We were on the same shift.

何か知ってるかもな
He might know something.

あれ？自転車
Huh? My bicycle...

- 67 -

それはオレの自転車だな。
That's my bicycle...

- 68 -

島クンちょっと待て！
Shinozaki, wait there.

なんだこれ？嫌がらせ!?
What the fuck is this? Vandalism?!

まさかと思うけど、
I didn't hold it for true but...

バイトも同じシフトだったよな。
He was on the same shitf as us.

オレが店の掃除してる時、
When I was cleaning the shop,

一制服に商品入れてないよな。
he put the good under his uniform.

島ク
Shinozaki!

待てや！！
Wait!

全部島クンがやってたの？
Did you do all of this?

わわわ、悪いかよ！
Y-y-you got a problem or what?!

- 69 -

仲良さそうにバイト先まで友達連れて来るなよな。
Playing the good friend during the work time...

バカじゃないですか？
Are you retarded?

俺が友達いないのバカにしてんだろ。
I am a moron without any friends.

ひょっとしてうらやましいの？
Are you by any chance jealous?

う、うるさい。
S-shut up!

お前らなんていなくなれ。
If you two just would vanish...

嫌いなんだ
I fucking hate you!

仲良いフリなんか見せびらかすなよ。
Flaunting how good you guys get a long...

- 70 -

ウッチーいい方法がある。
Ucchi, I've a good idea.

ん？
Eh?

（おう）
Gotcha.

（それだね）
That's good.

じゃ、これからは仲良くしよう。
Let's good along from now on.

あくしゅ
Let's shake hands.

え！？
Eh?!

「仲良く」って怖い事されるんじゃ
"Getting good along" is something scary.

シナイョ　シナイョ。
It's not.
It's not.

（ナゼ片言？！）
Why this smattering?

その代わり店長には正直に言えよ
In return, explain the situation honestly to the owner.

おい西山
Hey Nishiyama!

感慨にふけるな。
Don't get lost in your emotions.

オレ、オセロがしたい。
I want to play reversi.

（アーン）
Aah.

（アーン？）
Aah?

(じゃあ　持ってこいよ)
Okay. Then get it.

あ、
Ah,

今日も駅前でやき鳥買って帰ろ
today let's buy grilled chicken in front of the station as usual.

（あ、オレも）
Ah, me too.

センセエさいならー。
Goodbye, teacher.

はいよ
There you go.

ありがと
Thanks.

shop sign (やきとり) Yakitori (means grilled chicken)

- 39 -

西山んちって遠いんだっけ？
Nishiyama, is your home far away?

うん。自転車で40分くらいかな。
Guess yeah. Approximately fourty minutes with the train.

行こう。
Let's go.

来んなよ。
I'm not coming.

オセロしよーぜ。
Let's play reversi.

真剣勝負だ。
It's a real game.

お前のそのものうい感じを打ち崩してやる
I'll shatter that impression of yours into pieces.

（やだな）
I don't wanna.

ついでに子どもの頃の妙な写真とか探してやる。
Taking this opportunity, I'll search for a weird photograph of my childhood.

（ねーよそんなもん）
There's no such thing.

来んなよ。
I'm not coming.

お母さんにもご挨拶させてもらうからな
Then, I'll also give my regards to my mother.

お前はオレのなんなんだ
What are you to me?

トモダチだな
You're my friend.

あのさ
Listen.

オレんち来ても何も出ないよ。
Nothing special will happen even if you come to me.

じゃな
See you.

（あーそばしてくれ～）
Let's play...

この先、大学を出て会社人になって、
After this, I'll go to a university and become a salaryman.

毎日忙しくなったら、
If I become busy everyday,

- 40 -

こんなくだらない毎日を思い出す事も、
I won't ever remember...

やき鳥うめ−。
The grilled chicken is yummy.

ないんだろうな
...such a worthless casual life.

学生の頃はそう思っていたんですよね
Since the day I became a student, I was thinking like that.

ほ
Ha...

教師になりました。
I ended up becoming a teacher.

就任先は母校でしたが、
During the inauguration ...

知ってる教師は一人もいませんでした。
...I haven't seen a single familiar teacher in the school.

ずいぶん、
I have the feeling,

校内が変わってしまった気がします。
the school had changed a lot.

え?
Eh?

なんか雰囲気とか。
The atmosphere is kind of different.

昔はもっとサバサバしてました
When I was still a student, it was more reliving.

ハハハ。
Hahaha.

- 41 -

変わらないよ。僕は４年もここにいるけど、
This school don't change. I'm here since I was a 4th year student.

とりあえず４年間は変わってないな
It hasn't changed since than at all.

どう変わったって思うの？
What part of it do you think has changed?

いや　なんとなく
Well... It just feels that way.

何かがこう教室の隅からじっとりとしみ出してくるような
As if something is quitely seeping out from the corner of the classroom...

（じわっと）
Quitely...

単に君がじっとりしてるんだろ。
You're simply seeping out, too.

本気にするな冗談だから。
Don't take it seriously. I'm just kidding.

なんでだろう、
I wonder why.

独りきりな気がするんだ。
I have the feeling of being all alone.

- 42 -

う−わー明日のスケジュール立てないと。
Shoot! I can't finish tomorrow's schedule like this.

誰かいる。
Someone is here.

センセさよならー。
Goodbye, teacher.

明日の練習駅前のカラオケボックスだって
He said tomorrow's practice is in the karaoke box near the train station.

おう
Yeah!

何！？
What?!

（カラオケボックスはいけな）
Karaoke box... No good.

（あ！こっちは？）
Ah! This way?

- 43 -

カラオケボックス？
Karaoke box?

ああ、あの子達は部活で使っているのよね。
Ah, it's for their club activity.

（許してあげてね）
Please forgive them.

（そすか）
Is that so?

西山センセ、まじめだね。
Mr. Nishiyama is honest, isn't he?

学生の頃もまじめだったんだろうなあ。
I wonder if that applies to his student life, too?

こら、当たり前でしょ。
Hey, that's obvious, isn't it?

ずいぶん遅くまで生徒が残ってるんですね
The students remain till late hours here.

昨日は特別よ。
Yesterday was an exception.

活動場所の申請がなかなか通らなくてねー、
The application letters are sure heaped.

二人だけ残しちゃったのよ。
So in the end we two are left.

二人だけ？
We two?

ええ。
Yes

二人だけ？
Just the two us?

しつこい。
How insistent you are.

- 44 -

うるさいぞ
Be quiet.

何かすげ−うるさいな。
Whatever I should-- They're too loud.

オレはもっと静かだったぞ
I was much quieter than them.

うるさい
Shut up!

職場が母校だからかな
Guess because my worplace was the school.

（先生ーこえーよ）
Teacher you're too loud.

（ふつうにしてくれよー）
Please talk normally.

- 45 -

こんなに淋しい気持ちになってしまうのは。
I didn't thought I'd feel this desolate.

なんだか気持ちに穴が空いている。
Somehow I think there is a hole in my feelings.

そうだ！やき鳥買って帰ろう。
Oh, right! I'll buy grilled chicken.

先生
Teacher...

- 46 -

先生の言ってたやき鳥って、
The grilled chicken shop the teacher is always talking about...

たぶんここのだよな。
...must be this one.

（ありがと）
Thank you.

え？
Eh?

西山先生がすごく疲れてる？
Mr. Nishiyama is very exhausted?

（ボクらのせいです）
It's our fault.

- 47 -

しまったまた遅くなった
Crap. I'm late again.

あれ？前にもこんな事あったな
Huh? A deja vu.

夕方頃から気になるんです
It has been bothering me since the evening.

へえ。
Yes.

- 48 -

何者かがいるんですよ
Someone is here.

今日、ちょっと残ります。
Tonight I'll stay a little longer.

ふ−ん。
Hmph.

西山先生の妄想かもしれませんよ。
It could be just Mr. Nishiyama's delusion.

（つかまえてやる）
I'll catch it.

そうねー　ストレス溜まってそうだものね。
Guess that's the case. He's been stressed.

暗くなるとウロウロしてるんだ
When it becomes dark, it rustles.

気配も消してる
And its presence disappears.

ウチのネコにそっくりだ。
Just like my cat.

（気がついたらバックをとられてる）
Before I realize, it would be right behind me.

- 49 -

残るべきじゃなかった
I shouldn't have stayed behind.

でも何かいるんだよなぁ
But something must be here.

何してる！？
What are you doing?!

（威嚇！！）
Intimidation

おおー　新しい先生か
Ah, it's the new teacher.

I'm the night watchman, Hirata.

Oh, I see.

オレの記憶とは違う場所になってしまった。
...became a completely different place than I had in my memories.

おおそうか、
Oh, is that so?

私はもう20年もここで警備の仕事をしてるんだが、
I've been working as the night guard for almost 20 years now, but...

いや、見た事あると思ったよ。
Oh, wait. I think I saw it too.

君の事覚えているよ。
I remember you.

そうですか。
I see.

よく教室でマージャンしてたろ。
You used to play mahjong in the classroom.

いやあれは
Well, yes...

皆に誘われて仕方なく。
I couldn't refuse since the others invited me.

あの頃の事なんて思い出す事はないなんて思ってたけど、
I thought, I couldn't think of anything of my school life.

あの教室だけ窓が開いててなあ。
Only at that classroom the window would open.

（閉めに行くんだ　夜にね）
That was one long night.

すみません。
Ah, sorry.

あの頃いらした先生方は誰だったかね。
I wonder who those teachers were again.

えーとですね。松嶋先生と中島先生
Let's see... Mr Matsushima and Mr. Nakajima.

てことは伝説の渡辺先生もその時代かな？
And was the legendary, infamous Mr. Watanabe from that time too?

（゛っんね゛を連発する）
And he keeps going on.

懐しいね−
That brings back memories.

そうです　そうです。
Indeed.

そう、くだらなかった毎日が、懐しくてたまらないんだ。
Right. My worthless casual life became something I couldn't stop reminiscencing.

あの
Um...

なんでもない日々を
My empty days...

それにしても君は
By the way...

昔より暗くなったね。
...you have become gloomier compared to the past.

気を楽にねー
Take it easy.
