Please find the raws at the DRRR!! community in LiveJournal.

Pg.9

[The story so far in DRRR!!!]

Simon: I came by to narrate the plotline because I don't have any appearances lately.
Simon: I'm jacking the plotline.

[Mikado bumped into a young girl as he was running toward the sound of the black bike.]
[That girl was being chased by the black bike, for some unknown reason.]
[Mikado grabs the girl's arm and starts running.]

Simon: Just kidding! That shop up there is imaginary!
Simon: What will happen to Mikado and the girl? / Find out on the next page. / I'm done with work for today, so I'll go read it too.
[The story continues on the next page!!]

Pg.10

[The basics of fliers. Hand them out as if you're giving a letter to a friend.]

[DURARARA!! 12 wawawawawawawawawawawawa!!]

[Comic Volume 1 on sale!! DVD Volume 4 on sale May 26th!!]
[Original: Narito Ryogo // Character design: Yasuda Suzuhito // Artwork: Satorigi Akio]

Pg.11

[The black bike speeds through Ikebukuro again today.]

Certy thought: I didn't find my head today either, // even though I'm always searching for my head when I'm off work.

Certy thought: Well, I suppose I wouldn't find my head by just roaming aimlessly around the city.

Certy thought: Which reminds me, I haven't seen any fairies or sprites since coming to Japan. / If I flew all the way to Hokkaido or Okinawa, would I meet them?

Pg.12

Certy thought: Then again, / it's not like I can leave this city right now.

Certy thought: What if the sense of my head disappears while I'm away?

[My head.]

Certy thought: There is no doubt that I sense my head is in Ikebukuro.

Pg.13

Certy thought: The only lead I have is that sense. // I've been patiently patrolling the streets all this time but-

Certy thought: I haven't been able to grasp a single hint in these 20 years.

[Why don't you give up?]
Certy thought: Like I could do that!!

Certy thought: It's not that I'm unsatisfied with my life now.

Certy thought: But in order to attain a peaceful life, I need to see my head again. // No matter what.

Pg.14

[And the reason is… something I can't tell Shinra yet.]

[I can't tell him about these emotions that twist within my chest.]

Shizuo: Hey.

Pg.15

Shizuo: Certy, can you come with me for a bit?
[Heiwajima Shizuo.]

Certy: According to Shinra, this is "the man who doesn't live up to his name in the least."

Shizuo: Izaya's in Ikebukuro again.
Shizuo: I almost got to punch him but, / Simon interfered at the last minute.
Certy: …..

Pg.16

[Heiwajima Shizuo and Orihara Izaya have been archenemies for a long time.]
[Until the day Izaya moved to Shinjuku, the two were fighting on 60 Street every day.]

[Simon would often forcefully interfere, // and drag them into his sushi shop.]

[The reason Shizuo doesn't mind me, is probably because I don't talk.]

Shizuo: Unlike Kadota and Yumasaki, I'm always alone when I cause trouble. // The same goes for Izaya, since he doesn't have any friends.
Shizuo: It's not like I'm never lonely.

Pg.17

Shizuo: I want to meet people too, even if it's only a shallow relationship.

Shizuo: But…

Shizuo: Why did Izaya come to this city?

Pg.18

[That's because Izaya's target of his twisted hobbies was coincidentally in Ikebukuro…]
[But wait, that was yesterday!!]

[A few years ago, Izaya moved his office to Shinjuku, after leaving Shizuo with a few felony charges.]
[It's unthinkable that an Informer who works in Shinjuku would spend two consecutive days in Ikebukuro.]

Shizuo: That's right-
Shizuo: I remember he was talking to a kid from Raira…

Pg.19

Shizuo: Huh?
Shizuo: Did someone fall?

Certy: !?
Shizuo: Should we give them a hand… / Ah-
Shizuo: Hey!

Pg.20

Certy: It can't be.

Pg.21

Certy: It can't be.
Certy: It can't possibly be.

Pg.22

Mika: Aaaaahhhhh!!

Certy: W-Wait!
Certy PDA: I just want to see your face closely!
Mika: Noooo!!
Crowd: It's the black bike! // The rider is grabbing the girl!

Pg.23

Shizuo: Ah, please calm down.
Shizuo: We're not trying to hurt-

Shizuo: -you…

Shizuo: Eh?

Pg.24

Seiji: Let go of her.

Pg.25

Certy: Shizuo?!
Certy: Ah!!

Certy: Wait! // But Shizuo…

Shizuo: It's alright. // Go on.

Shizuo: Don't get what's going on, but you need to chase her, right?

Pg.26

Certy SFX: Clap
Certy: Wait!

Pg.27

Certy: Wait! / That's-

Certy: That face-

Certy: Isn't that my head?!

Pg.29

Certy: Another High Schooler?!
Certy: ?!

Certy: Eh?!
Certy: Ehhh?!

Certy: W- Wait a second!!!

[Certy chases after Mikado!]

Pg.30

TV ANIME "DURARARA!!" After-Recording Report Manga.
Torino Seito

[We visited the recording of "Durarara!!" episode 21!]
[As always, a rich cast bring the characters to life!!]

[Mikado does the narration for episode 21.]
[Manager - Katoppe]
[Torino]
Toyonaga: That time, why did I…
[The voice actor is Toyonaga Toshiyuki-san.]

[This episode, worries and struggles take over Mikado.]

Toyonaga: I decided I would change… but…
[He moved me with his heartrending acting!!]

Pg.31

[And the ones who really left an impression were these two.]
Miyano: You really don't remember anything?
[Kida Masaomi - Voiced by Miyano Mamoru]

Ono: Eh? // Ehh??
[Heiwajima Shizuo - Voiced by Ono Daisuke]

[Their low tones really gave the episode a tense feel.]

[Not to mention we got to see a new side of Shizuo this time!]
Shizuo: Ah… Tom-san.

Katoppe: How refreshing…
Torino: He's so obedient…

[On the other hand, there's Shinra, voiced by Fukuyama Jun, who looks at everything very calmly.
Fukuyama: So… What will you do?

Pg.32

[Since he uses many difficult words, he checks with the director for explanations.]

Fukuyama: What does this mean?
Director: Oh, that's…

[Next up are the females! Something occurs between these two…!]

[Even though it's a serious scene, watching them is somehow relaxing.]

Certy Sturluson voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki]
[Sonohara Anri voiced by Hanazawa Kana]
Sonoara: Sorry… // Please don't ask me anything right now.

[The reason is because Certy almost seems like an older sister, the way she worries for Anri!]
Sawashiro: Don't worry. // Okay?

[But the peace is fleeting. Black shadows close in on Anri…]

Pg.33

[And the one who watches that from afar is…]
Kamiya: Good. // Good~!

Kamiya: It's getting exciting.
[Orihara Izaya voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi]
[As usual, he watches the scene from somewhere very high.]

Kamiya: The Queen // has been surrounded by black.
[What do those words mean…?!]

Bold: Find out on air!!

[The speed of the anime increases as we near the climax!]
[Secrets begin to unfold one after the next. Yet, there are still mysteries to be solved!]

Pg.6

Tom: Shizuo! Work for you. Read this out loud.
[Tom]
Shizuo: What's this?
[Heiwajima Shizuo]

Shizuo: Harima Mika, Mikado's classmate, was Yagiri Seiji's stalker.
Shizuo: ?
Tom: (You gotta return what you borrow.)
Man: (No… I still need…)

Tom: (Ah…)
Man: (Shit!!)

Shizuo: The head of Durahan was in the hands of Yagiri Namie, who worked as chief in the sixth laboratory.

SFX: slam
Man: (Ngh!)
Shizuo: Yagiri Namie is Seiji's sister, by the way.

Tom: Right then, let's go read the rest.
Shizuo: Okay..?

Pg.8

Seiji: Sister.
Seiji: I love that girl's head.

[Seiji's love… is a living "head"?!]

[Seiji, my beloved brother.]
[The girl that my brother claimed he loved, had nothing.]

[She had no name...]

Pg.9

[Not even a body below her neck…]
Namie: It's wrong for Seiji to fall in love with this thing.
Namie: I must dispose of it immediately.

Pg.10

[Smolder.]
Namie: Why? Why must it be this head?! // Why is it not me?!
Head: …….
[Something red and dark burst within me.]

Namie: Starting today, our laboratory will begin a new experiment.
Namie: "A clinical experiment for a new medicine for the immune system" will be its disguise on the outside.

Pg.11

Namie: But what we'll be doing, is experimenting with a subject that transcends life and death…
Namie: The fairy, Durahan.

[Seiji… My beloved brother.]

Namie thought: As long as the head is here, Seiji won't be able to come near it.
[And at that moment, what was born inside me was…]

Pg.12

[Not pity for the unnatural nature of my brother,]
[but it was, without a doubt,]
SFX: beep
[flames of jealousy that burned a deep, dark, red.]

Pg.13

[It happened on a day after the experiments had started, and it seemed as if everything had been resolved.]

SFX: scatter
Namie: It's gone! How could that be?!

Namie: The card key to the laboratory is gone…
Namie: I'm always carrying it with me.

Namie thought: And just when the American company "Nebra" have merged with us…
Namie thought: Could it be that we have a traitor?!

Man: Bad news, Chief! // Please hurry to the laboratory!!
Namie: What is all the commotion for?

Pg.14

Man: The "head"! // The head has been stolen!!

Man: The culprit somehow managed to sneak past the gates,
Man: and used a stun gun on the guards before getting in!
Namie: Gather all the members of the sixth laboratory! // Immediately!!
Man: Yes!

Pg.15

Namie: (beep) Hello?
Seiji: Sister.

Namie: Ahh, Seiji!
Namie: What's wrong?

Pg.16

Seiji: I might have killed someone. // What should I do?
Namie: Seiji!
Namie: Seiji!

Pg.17

Namie: Take care of that!
Man: Yes.

Namie: Seiji!
Namie: It's alright. It'll be alright.

Seiji: This is about HER, and not that woman over there but-
Namie: I see.

Pg.18

Namie: So you were the one that took her out.

Namie: It's alright. // There's nothing to worry about. Just leave it all to your sister.

Pg.19

[Regardless the reason,]
[Seiji is relying on me. He needs me.]

[I'll protect Seiji with my own hands, no matter what it takes.]

Namie: I love you, Seiji.

Pg.20

Seiji: Ah, this is love.

Seiji: This is love, without a doubt.

Seiji: Why is love so dear, when you've lost a love you've only just grasped?

Pg.21

Seiji: Though I did say that I would leave it to sister,
Seiji: I can't just leave her by herself.

Seiji: It was a mistake that I gave her back.
Seiji: I need to make a protest.

Seiji: And if that fails too, then we'll escape together.

Seiji thought: And if worst comes to worst, I'll just steal my sister's card key again.
Seiji: ?
SFX: vroom
Seiji thought: This car… It's the car the laboratory uses to kidnap people…

Pg.22

Seiji thought: So they're out collecting subjects for the experiments again.
Seiji thought: They make me sick.

Seiji: How can they do that to real, live people?

SFX: turn

Pg.23

Seiji: That's…!!

Anri: Thank you very much for today.
Mikado: It's nothing-

Pg.24

Mikado: It's our first time talking like this,
Mikado: but I look forward to being in the class council with you.

Anri: But I've known about you, Ryugamine-san.
SFX: clang
MIkado: Eh?

Anri: There was a list of names at the office when I turned in my school enrollment form…

Anri: That's where I saw a name that sounded very nice, // and someone came along and checked off that name.

Pg.25

Mikado: I- I see…
Mikado thought: Huh? This sounds a bit odd…
Anri: And today, // I was saved by that person.

Mikado thought: Wait a second!!

[Isn't this kind of like what happened with Seiji-kun and Harima0san?!]
[Eh…]
[Don't tell me I've got a stalker now…]

Pg.26

[But if it's a cute girl like her, is it alright?]
[No, of course it's not!!!]

[She could stab people!!]
Anri: (I've taken care of the hindrances.)
[She could burn down my house, and kidnap my family!!]
[But if she's got a good personality, she might not be so bad as a stalker… No wait! The fact that she's a stalker makes her personality bad enough!!]

Mikado thought: But if I had to decide…
Anri: I'm just kidding.

Anri: I'm sure it would only be an annoyance if someone like me followed you around. // Don't worry, I'm not a stalker.
Mikado: Eh?! // Ah…
SFX: giggle

Pg.27

Mikado: Sorry…
Anri: No! It's me that should apologize!!
Mikado thought: And here I was thinking up such stupid things.

Mikado: Um… Er...
Anri: …..

Mikado: I'll see you tomorrow… // then.
Anri: Yes, I'll see you at school tomorrow.

SFX: step
Mikado: Sonohara-san may be a little unfair, but deep down, she's a good person.
MIkado: She's just a little clumsy about life in general.

Pg.28

Mikado: Maybe my friendship with Kida-kun is a little similar.
[It's because Kida-kun helps me along, // that I'm able to step into this new world.]

Mikado: But honestly. I may have dreamed of the unordinary, but stalkers and runaways… // This is all just a bit too much.

Pg.29

Person: Hey, that sound just now-
SFX: whisper
Person: Could it be…

Mikado: It's the black bike!!
SFX: dash

Mikado: I wonder what's up!
Mikado: It sounds more worked up than usual!
Mikado: It's close!
Mikado: If I turn this corner-

Pg.30

Mikado: Eh-
SFX: bam
SFX: thud

Pg.32

Mikado: Ow…
Mikado: Ah, sorry!!
Mikado: Are you okay?!

Girl: Please!!
SFX: clamp
Mikado: Ack!
Mikado: Eh?! // Um…
Girl: Please.

Pg.32

Girl: Help me!!

Pg.33

[Tokyo, Toshima District, Ikebukuro.]
[Three days have gone by.]

[Something was bound to change if I came here.]
SFX: gasp
[I knew that the unordinary would happen eventually.]
SFX: gasp
[And right now…]

Pg.34

[I was in the midst of the unordinary.]

[Torino]

[There were many people for the recording of episode 17. It was lively.]
Side: We present this report from the very secret recording.]

[First off, there were the good friends MIkado and Masaomi.]
Toyonaga: I did invite Masaomi too, but you were busy.
[Toyonaga Toshiyuki-san voices the clumsy Mikado in a very cute and cool manner.]

[Miyano Mamoru-san voices Masaomi in a very believable high schooler manner.]
MIyano: Ah, no worries.
[They didn't have any scenes together but…]
[But they seem to have a compatibility to rival their characters!]
(Pair Look?!)
Toyonaga: Woah!
Miyano: No way!

Pg.36

[This episode, Mikado is met with a shocking ordeal.]
SFX: Ugh…

[Anri confesses her love (?) for an unexpected person…]
[Sonohara Anri voiced by Hanazawa Kana]
Hanazawa: There's someone very cool. (Did I mention they're very cool?)
Toyonaga: C-Cool?
[I can't get enough of Mikado's stuttering!]

[And Certy too…]

Sawashiro: They're strong… no. // Scary… no. // Cool!

Pg.2

DRRR!! So far?!

Seiji: I'm Yagiri Seiji. // I'll begin my 3 minute summary.
Seiji: Start.

[A nonsensical argument that sprung up between Heiwajima Shizuo and Orihara Izaya!! Thanks to Simon of the Russian Sushi Shop, Mikado was just barely able to slip away from the scene. With Anri in tow, they make a run for it. What will happen to them?!]

SFX: trickle

Seiji: Huh, there's still some time left. // You guys go on ahead.

[The story starts on the next page!]

Pg.3

[DURARARA!! // 10 WaWaWaWaWaWaWaWaWaWa!!]
[Just for now, let's escape all the noise…]

Pg.4

[He intended to pull Anri to safety but...?]
SFX: run
Mikado: So… Sonohara-san!!

Mikado: W… Wait for me, Sonohara-san… // Can't breathe…
SFX: gasp

Mikado: Want to… // rest a bit…?
SFX: wheeze

Pg.5

Sonohara: Um, // thank you back there.

Mikado: (Ah, no!) I mean, Orihara-san is the one who helped you out!

Mikado: Were those girls back there classmates from Middle School?
Sonohara: …Yes.

Mikado: I see. // Could it be that you were helped by that girl named Mika in MIddle School, but without her now, those old classmates have started to pick on you again?

Pg.6

Sonohara: ……
Sonohara: H… How do you know?!
Mikado: (Erm-) // Well, from that conversation, that's what assumed!

Mikado: By the way, is it Harima Mika from our class?
Mikado: She's been absent for a really long time.

Sonohara: Harima-san… // She hasn't been home since the day before the welcoming ceremony.
Mikado: Eh-
Mikado: Isn't that something the police should know…?

Pg.7

Sonohara: It's not that she's gone missing. // She sent both her parents and I messages.
Sonohara: She writes things like "I've gone a trip to heal myself. Please don't worry" // or what station she's at.

Mikado: A trip to heal herself? Did something happen?
Sonohara: Well, um…

Pg.8

Sonohara: Will you please not be too shocked if you hear?
Mikado: I think very few things could surprise me after witnessing a trash can flying through the air.
Sonohara: Harima-san is…

Sonohara: A stalker.
SFX: spurt

Mikado: (Eh-) Stalker…?
SFX: drip
Mikado thought: (Ah…)

Pg.9

Mikado: Oh… // Sorry… Sonohara-san…
SFX: Aaaahhhh!
SFX: squeak

[According to her, Harima Mika has had stalking tendencies since Middle School.]
[For example…]

Pg.10

[The 411!! // The Real Harima-san.]

Guy: You dropped this.
Mika: Huh?

SFX: blush
Mika thought: What a nice person!

Mika: (Hehe!) My destined soulmate♡ Wonder what kind of room he lives in?
SFX: scratch

Guy: My family's going on a trip to Kyoto.

SFX: click click click

Mika: Thanks for inviting me♡
SFX: shock
Guy thought: (Why is she here?!)

[The 411!! // The Real Harima-san. The End.]

Pg.11

[Atop that, her grades are good,]
[and her family is wealthy. Apparently, they're paying rent for her room that costs more than a hundred thousand yen a month.]
Mikado thought: Anything seems possible for her…

[The cause of Harima Mika's sudden trip was Yagiri Seiji-kun.]
[Coincidentally, she sat next to him during entrance exams.]

Pg.12

[That was when she fell in love at first sight.]

[And by chance, he saved her from a group of punks that were harassing her, and so she realized…]

[that he was her destined soulmate.]
Seiji: (Are you alright?)

Pg.13

[Following that, Harima Mika began to visit Yagiri-kun's house,]
[but she failed to show up at the welcoming ceremony.]

[According to Yagiri-kun, he had a talk with her the day before the ceremony, and told her that he wouldn't date her and that if she continued to bother him, he would call the police.]
[He said he hadn't seen her since then.]

Mikado thought: So that's what they were talking about then.
SFX: Relieved
Mikado thought: But would she really give up on her "destined soulmate" just because he threatened to call the police?

Pg.14

Mikado: By the way, // are you closest to Harima-san?
Sonohara: I'm not sure but…
Sonohara: It's true that we were always together.

Sonohara: I'm clumsy when it comes to communicating with people… // And Harima-san was the one who helped me with that.
Sonohara: She could have gone to a school of a higher level, and yet she chose the same one as me for my sake. // I felt guilty about that.

Pg.15

Mikado: That's probably because-
SFX: bam
Mikado: she didn't want to lose having you as a convenient tool to make her look good☆

[Yeah, like I could say that. // But wouldn't it be better if I could just make her see it once and for all…?]
SFX: giggle

Sonohara: It's alright. I know.
SFX: baddump
MIkado: Eh?! // Wh…What do you know…?

Sonohara: I know that I just there to make her look better.

Pg.16

Sonohara: That's why I'm using her as well.

Sonohara: I probably couldn't take it if I didn't do that.

Sonohara: The reason I chose to become Class Council // was because I wanted to do the things she wanted do, while she was absent.

Sonohara: But to be honest, it's all just for my own self-satisfaction. // I felt that I could surpass her if I became class council.

Pg.17

Sonohara: It's not fair, is it.
Mikado: Rather, I think it's unfair of you to tell others about this.

Mikado: It kind of sounds like you're trying to get people to forgive you by telling them this.

Mikado: It's the right choice to want to surpass Harima-san,

Mikado: so why don't you try having more confidence in yourself?

Sonohara: You're… // right.

Pg.18

Sonohara: Thank you.
Mikado: Ah- // No…

[How pretty would a girl like Harima Mika have to be to use Sonohara-san as an ornament?]

[Not to mention Yagiri-kun's girlfriend, who's supposedly above her.]

Pg.19

SFX: Bang
Namie: I object!

Man: However, at this rate, this company's standings will…
Man: Even if we merge companies, it won't be too bad if we consider the other party's conditions.
SFX: crumple

Pg.20

Namie: What they want isn't the Yagiri Company! They're after that!!
Namie: As the chief of the lab that monitors that, and for my own family's sake, I won't allow it!!

Man: Namie!!
Namie: This is ridiculous!
SFX: slam

Namie: That again… It's driving me into the corner again.
SFX: clack

[Ever since that day 20 years ago…]

-20 Years Ago-
SFX: rattle

Pg.21

SFX: dash
Namie: Welcome home!

Uncle: You came, Namie?
Namie: Yup! I heard you would be coming home, Uncle!
Uncle: I see, I see.
Uncle: Then as a reward, I'll show you something special.

Namie: What is it?
Uncle: This is something I got while I was overseas.

Pg.23

Namie: Wow, it's pretty. Is it a doll?

SFX: jump
Namie thought: It's warm! // This head is alive!!

Pg.24

[My Uncle had gotten his hands on the head of the fairy, "Durahan".]
Mika: I must have have the initiative in this.

[Sister, I…]

Namie: Seiji!

Pg.25

Namie: That's right. This is for Seiji's sake!

[Around the time Seiji was born…]
Namie: Mother, Father! // Seiji's crying.

[My parents had made a grave mistake with their clients, and they had been laid off from their important posts.]

[It became my responsibility to look after Seiji.]

Pg.26

Namie: You're eating such junk again, Seiji!!
Namie: I know, Seiji!
Seiji: ?

Namie: Want me to show you something special?
Seiji: Uncle will get mad at us if we go in without asking.
Namie: That's why we have to keep this a secret.

Namie: Take a look, Seiji. // Isn't it beautiful?

Pg.27

[I still regret what I did to this very day.]

Pg.28

[It wasn't long after]
[that Seiji's behavior began to change.]

Seiji: Sis.
Namie: Mm? // What is it, Seiji?

Seiji: I want to go to Uncle's place tomorrow.
Namie: Hm? Why? We just went today.

Pg.29

[And then…]

Seiji: Sis, are you going to Uncle's place tomorrow?

Seiji: Sis, I wanna go to Uncle's place tomorrow.

Seiji: Sis, I'm going to Uncle's place tomorrow.

[That day came…]

Seiji: Sis,
Seiji: I like that girl's head.
[A boy with with a pure love, Yagiri Seiji. However, his love was twisted.]

Tsuna: B… // But…

Tsuna: Gamma… // and Uni…

Pg. 05

Tazaru: Princess...
Nozaru: Brother!!
Nozaru: I can't believe this!!

Tsuna: It's not just Gamma and Uni… // This battle has hurt so many people…

Someone: Agh!!

Pg.06

Bel: Shi, shi, shi. / Your boss went and kicked the bucket.
Kikyo: Ngh!
Tazaru: And next, it's your turn.
Fran: If you have any particular method you wanna die, we're all ears.

Tsuna: Wait, what are you doing?! // We don't need anymore damage!!

Tazaru: Why do you care about this scum? // This is a creature who only knows how to kill!!

Irie: You're wrong… // They were all once normal humans…

Tsuna: Eh?!
Tazaru: What?

Kikyou: Irie Shouichi…

Pg.07

Irie: At the time when Millefiore was gathering up strong forces, // I was there to check on every country's mafia, military, and assassin, but I never saw them.

Irie: Which means that // They were normal people that aren't listed in the register…

Kikyou: Haha…

Kikyou: Normal people… // That's certainly a cheap way to put it…

Kikyou: In the Parallel Worlds, // We were all humans that reigned over our worlds!!

Pg.08

Kikyo: But in this world, things were different due to misfortune. // Byakuran-sama was the one who changed our weaknesses into strengths!!

Xanxus: Shut up.

Pg.09

Bianchi: Ahh!!
Tsuna: Xanxus!!
Xanxus: Shut up!

Luss: It'll be alright~♪
Bel: Shi shi shi. (small bubble in between what Luss is saying…)
Luss: I'll keep him alive~!

Yamamoto: Tsuna!

Pg.10

Tsuna: So many people were hurt in this battle… // Yamamoto's dad and people from other Parallel Worlds have died…

Tsuna: We've won, but everything is so messed up… // Was there any meaning behind this victory?

Yamamoto: Tsuna…

Colonello: Of course there was, dammit!!!

Pg. 11

Nozaru: Agh!
Tazaru: It's hot!
Nozaru: What the heck is this?!

Colonello: You all did well, dammit!!

Lal: That voice!!

Pg.12

Tsuna: Colonello... That means...!!
Dino: The Arcobaleno...
Basil: Have finally revived!! (seems like Basil & Gokudera were saying it at the same time >,>)

Kyoko: So many babies!
Haru: Where did they come from?!

Bianchi: They’re the powerful infants that are part of the Trinisette, and have an important role in monitoring the Trinisette as well. // They're the Arcobaleno, // And old friends of Reborn.

Bel: Found you, Mammon♪
Ryohei: Master!!
Lal: Colonello…
Ipin: Master!!

Reborn: You're all late.
Skull: What did you say, Reborn?! ...Sempai...
Colonello: Chill it, Skull. Dammit!
Tsuna: Everyone really is an infant...

Pg.13

Colonello: We all know the situation. // Uni communicated with us through the flames that went through our pacifiers.

Tsuna: Uni?
Fon: Yes.

Fon: Uni also informed us // Of what influence Byakuran's defeat would have on the world.

Fon: By Byakuran being defeated and the Mare Rings losing their power, // All the damage in the Parallel Worlds caused by the Mare Rings would be erased from the past.

Colonello: In other worlds, all the evil deeds done by Byakuran // Would disappear without a trace, dammit!!

Pg.14

Tsuna: Eh?! // Does that mean that Yamamoto's dad and the people killed by Millefiore will come back?!

Colonello: Their deaths will be erased too, I bet.

Kyoko: How wonderful!!

Yamamoto: Pops…

Irie: Wait, I'm sorry to damper things, but… // Is rewriting other dimensions even possible…? Can you even calculate such things…? Ahahaha…

Verde: You fool. The phenomenons caused by the Trinisette are far beyond human knowledge. // Humans can accomplish nothing by tapping away at their computers when it comes to this.

Pg.15

Verde: With what knowledge we currently have, // We can explain the cause of the Trinisette as "a miracle", or "the will of someone".
Irie: Ah...Um...
Tsuna: [That infant... // Talks way too old for his age...]
Tsuna: Ah-

Tsuna: But what'll we do if someone like Byakuran appears again… // And they try to use the Mare Ring…?

Fon: Uni sacrificed her life // In order to prevent that from happening.

Tsuna: Huh?!

Fon: With the aid of the Arcobaleno's revival, Uni wanted her "flame of life" to be undying. // This way, she would be able to seal away the Mare Rings in the past - or in other words, your time, forever.

Tsuna: Is it possible… to seal the Mare Rings in the past…?
Colonello: Uni entrusted that task to us.

Pg.16

Fon: She sacrificed her life, // In order to create eternal peace.

Reborn: Uni did say you would be able to return to "a peaceful past".

[Uni…]

[Thank you.]

Irie: Now it's your turn to make your wish come true.
Tsuna: Ah-

Tsuna: Th… // That's right!

Ryohei: Sawada!!
Gokudera: Tenth!!

Kyoko: Tsuna-kun!
Haru: Tsuna-san!

Pg. 17

Tsuna: Let's go home to the past!!
[We've overcome so many ordeals in this battle, and at long last, the time has come… to return to our "time"!!]

Target 280 - The Last Blow

[Who will prevail in this last battle… / White?!! / Black?!!

Pg.50

[Uni and Gamma sacrificed their lives during battle…!!]

Tsuna: Gamma!! // Uni!!

Pg.51

Tsuna: Uni…!

Fuuta: The Arcobaleno aren't reviving!!
Reborn: No, the flames should have been properly absorbed. // It'll take a little more time.

Byakuran: Hey, you! // What have you done?

Byakuran: You killed the final piece of the puzzle that I'd been searching so long for… // You've put all my efforts to waste.

Byakuran: My dream to awaken the Trinisette and make this world far greater than any dimension… // Is ruined all because of your little friendship games…

Byakuran: Do you know...

Pg.52

Byakuran: What this means?!!

Byakuran: Ngh! // Agh!

Pg.53

Tsuna: Who do you think it was that killed Uni?

Tsuna: Because you made this world the way it is… // Uni…

Tsuna: Died!!

Pg.54

Tsuna: I won't forgive you, // Byakuran!!!

Pg.55

Byakuran: Hm? // You won't forgive me?

Byakuran: Haha! // Hahaha!!

Byakuran: Ahahaha, what nonsense!! // You're a joke of a human being!!

Byakuran: I'd understand if you saw value in her as a powerful device!!

Byakuran: After all, Uni was an item that I needed // in order to become an invincible God!!

Pg.75

Byakuran: But to see her as a woman of all things! It can only be a momentary intoxication of hormones that you'd think you could oppose me with humanism!

Byakuran: If that's your answer to living obediently trapped inside the human society, // then it's pathetic!!

Byakuran: Hypocrisy could never win against the ugly desires of humans! // That's how this world is made!

Basil: Roots are growing out of Byakuran's legs!!

Kikyo: He's stabilizing his body!! // He means to put an end to this!!

Pg.76

Tsuna: Operation… X…

Gokudera: !!
Yamamoto: Tsuna's gonna counter with his X Burner!!

Byakuran: You really ruined everything for me!! // That doll with the pacifiers was my ultimate toy!!

Tsuna: Don't you dare insult Uni anymore than you already have!! // You don't even deserve to say her name!!

Ryohei: Agh!
Gokudera: The barrier is breaking!!

Byakuran: Die!!!
Tsuna: Byakuran!!

Pg.77

Byakuran: Graaaaaagh!!!

Pg.78

Tsuna: Aarghhhhh!!

Pg. 81

Byakuran: Aaaaaaagh!!!

Girl1: We've finally found a rightful bearer of the Sky Mare ring.
Girl2: There's no one who deserves this more than you.
Byakuran: Who are… you?

Girl1: We have come into your life as a part of your 'thought'.
Byakuran: Fu-
Byakuran: Ahahaha!

Girl1: What is funny?
Byakuran: It took you long enough♪
Girl2: !?

Pg.82

Byakuran: I've been waiting for something absurd like this to happen. // I've long since stopped believing in reality.
Byakuran: It feels so wrong that I was living the life of a normal human being.

Byakuran: No matter where I look, humans, society... // they're all just scenery to me.

Byakuran: And when I was able to jump into a parallel world for the first time the other day,
Byakuran: I realized that I'm merely a 'conscience' programmed into a game.

Girl1: You're free to to think that,
Girl2: but are you ready to bear the Mare Ring?
Byakuran: Of course♪
Byakuran: If that's a key item in order to make this world entertaining, then I'd love to have it.

Byakuran: Just so you know, once I get that Mare Ring... // I might cause mass destruction or wipe out an entire population or use for some very nonsensical things.
Byakuran: Would you try to stop me?

Girl1: We will never interfere with you.
Girl1: However, if this is a game to you...

Girl1: [Then do not forget that there two other sky rings... // In other words, two other players.]

Pg. 83

Byakuran: That's great! // A game would be boring without rivals, after all!

Byakuran: Aaaarghhhhh!!!

[I never knew that other people had the ability to tickle your heart, or make it twinge…]

[It's not that I'm giving up… // I'm good at finding amusement in things, and when it comes to having fun, I put everything I have into it…]

[But… // Somehow, this world just doesn't feel right…]

[I'm sure you'll understand… // Doesn't it feel wrong?]

[Hahaha, // Those eyes tell me you don't agree in the least…]

Pg. 84
[It's so blinding…]

[I've lost to you.]

Gamma: Won't you use my flames too?

Gamma: What is it you want to ask me? // Calling me way out here…
Reborn: You…

Reborn: How do you feel about Uni?

Gamma: What kind of random question is that?!

Reborn: You know that Uni admires you, right? // I know it's none of my business, but there's no time.

Pg.15

Reborn: If we waste any more time, then they'll… // slip through before we know it.

Gamma: ….
Reborn: I know you're aware…

[Target 278 - "Sea", "Shellfish", and "Rainbow".]

[The creator of Vongola, Primo… Now is the time for him to convey that resolve!]

Pg.02

[The one who suddenly appeared before Tsuna, who was facing a battle with Byakuran, is…!!]

Byakuran: What kind of joke is this? Who is that? // That man next to you, Tsunayoshi-kun?

Uni: It's Vongola's first generation boss, // Vongola Primo!
Byakuran: !

Byakuran: Primo? // Hahaha, now is not the time for games. // That's foul to program such an ancient ancestor to project at a time like this.

Uni: He's not a projection! // I'm sure you can tell.

Pg.03

Uni: This is something that could never happen inside the Trinisette, your Mare Ring, or my pacifier. // It's the Vongola Ring's "Miracle of the Shield Dimension".

Byakuran: Miracle of the…
Mukuro: …Shield Dimension?

Uni: There is a song that has been etched in my memory since the day I was born.

[The sea knows no limit to its vastness,]
[Shellfish live through the ages, inheriting their shapes,]
[And the rainbow appears every now and then, only to fade away again.]

Pg.04

[Mare means "sea", Vongola means "shellfish", and Arcobaleno means "rainbow".]
- Arcobaleno "Rainbow"
- Mare "Sea" {TLN: Spelling error? This should be "Mare"} <-- LOL…they had ‘male’ instead of ‘mare'!
- Vongola "Shellfish"
[Yes… This song portrays the different skies of the Trinisette.]

[The endless "Mare" is the horizontal dimensional axis. // In other words, it lives across the Parallel Worlds.]

[The Vongola, which lives through the generations, is a vertical dimensional axis. // Which means it lives from past to present, preserving tradition.]

[And lastly, the Arcobaleno, which never stays in one place. // It exists not as a line, but as points within the two dimensions.]

Uni: Just like Byakuran has the ability to share knowledge across Parallel Worlds, // Sawada-san has inherited Vongola's own "time".

Tsuna: Time… That's right, I remember!!

Tsuna: What is this…? // A dream…? // An illusion…?
[The time, which is etched within our rings.]

Tsuna: Time… // Passage?

[It is your choice, whether you prosper or perish,]
[Vongola Decimo.]

Tsuna: !

Pg.05

Byakuran: Sorry, but I don't see any credibility to that story. // I didn't even have my Mare ring yet when I first became aware of Parallel Worlds.

Uni: That is because… // you were chosen as the rightful wearer of the ring.

Uni: Just like Vongola Primo.

["Now, Decimo."]
["I shall remove those shackles."]

Gokudera: !!
Yamamoto: Shackles?!

Dino: Is that what he… said?

Pg.06

["The current form of the Vongola Ring, // is only temporary."]

Xanxus: !!

["In order to preserve strict succession of the Vongola Ring, // it was divided into two between the Boss and the outside adviser for protection."]

Ryohei: That's what happened during the battle with Varia!!
Gokudera: It split right down the middle...

[This is about]
[The Half Vongola Rings!!]

["However, order to sustain the division,"]
["There was a need to restrain the highest output of the flames, unlike the Mare Rings and the Pacifiers of the Arcobaleno in the same Trinisette…"]

["There is no need for that any more,"]
[For I know that you'll understand both the true meaning of the Ring and my will."]

Tsuna: What's wrong, Byakuran? // Are you nothing without your wings?

Pg.17

Byakuran: You're amazing, Tsunayoshi-kun. // You're the only one of all the parallel worlds that has managed to make me spit out blood!!

Byakuran: I'm so happy! // I never thought this day would come!

Byakuran: I'm able // to fight with all my body's power!!

Target 277 - Misfortune

[Their relationship hasn't changed since they first met! Spartan Tutor x Incapable Student!]

Pg.02

[Tsuna collapses, and Vongola's future is in the hands of Byakuran...!!]
Byakuran: !!

Byakuran: Did you say // that Tsunayoshi-kun will defeat me?

Reborn: That's right.

Byakuran: Haven't you been watching, Reborn-kun? // Tsunayoshi-kun was just taken down by me!

Pg.03

Reborn: Don't underestimate Tsuna's strength of dying will.
Reborn: Besides, I'm not talking about whether you can win.

Reborn: Tsuna, you've got no other choice than to defeat Byakuran.

Mukuro: [It's the same as before… // In Sawada Tsunayoshi's times of need, // the tutor, Reborn, always appears to guide him.]

Byakuran: Heh.

Byakuran: Hahaha! What a surprise!! // Your last resort at a time like this is to try and slap some fighting sprit into him?!

Pg.04

Reborn: This is my method.

Reborn: Listen, Tsuna. // You're not the only one who's fighting a battle of dying will.

Reborn: Uni's sacrificing her life // in order to return you all to a peaceful past!

Yamamoto: !
Tazaru: What?!

Uni: Uncle Reborn...

Reborn: The revival of the Arcobalenos does more than bring back order to the world. // It's the key to returning you to a peaceful past.

Reborn: And Uni intends to sacrifice her life to achieve that.

Pg.05

Byakuran: Eh? // Is that so?

Gokudera: Wh-
Yamamoto: Her life…?

Kyoko: Uni-chan!!

Uni: Uncle… Why do you know…?

Reborn: Of course I do. / I guessed as much. // You and your grandmother, Luche, are two peas in a pod.

Byakuran: Hmm. // Then I must stop you from doing such a foolish thing.

Byakuran: After all, Uni-chan's life // exists for my sake♪

Byakuran: Come.

Tsuna: Cough

Pg.06

Tsuna: Ugh- // Ngh…

Uni: Sawada-san!!

Gokudera: Tenth!!

Kyoko: Tsuna-kun!
Haru: Tsuna-san!!

Byakuran: Haha, I can't believe Tsunayoshi-kun really woke up from your reproachful encouragement, Reborn-kun. // You two really make an astounding team.

Tsuna: I won't… // hand Uni… over to you…

Byakuran: Haha! // You're quivering!!

Pg.07

Byakuran: The body is so honest, don't you think? // Yours remembers the fear of being beaten hollow.
Byakuran: Haha, your quivering is almost contagious.

Tsuna: Agh…

Dino: This is bad… Tsuna's dying will is waning… // He can' fight like this!!

Byakuran: How unlucky of you to wake up in a situation like this. / Ah! But then again, I suppose your middle school years have been unlucky from the start, Tsunayoshi-kun~ // I know quite a lot about you.

Byakuran: Not too long ago, you were merely a failure of a student who skipped school, // and then an assassin came along and told you you were a candidate to become boss of a huge Mafia group, which threw you into this scary world. // Since then, despite hating conflicts, you've been forced to fight for the title of Boss and such.

Pg.08

Byakuran: Your biggest misfortune, however…
Byakuran: …is that you came to this generation.

Byakuran: If you hadn't been brought here, you wouldn't have had to go through all this. // Don't you curse your own fate?

Byakuran: Right?♪
Tsuna: ……

Tsuna: No… // That's not… exactly… true…

Pg.09

Tsuna: Well… // The future is scary… and painful… and full of uncertainties. There've been very few times where I've felt happy since coming here…

Tsuna: But… // I feel as though I understand all that now…

Tsuna: It's not about what's good or bad… // Everything that happens here…

Tsuna: …is precious in my life.

Byakuran: You sure have an odd way of perceiving things. // But I want you to think very carefully.

Byakuran: If you die, // that'll only be a way to comfort yourself♪

Ryohei: Wh…!

Dino: No!!

Pg.10

Dino: Nooo!!!

Byakuran: Mm, you're right. // In his state…

Byakuran: a mini White Dragon through his heart // will be enough♪

Tsuna: Ahh! // W-Wait!!

Byakuran: Don't wanna.

Pg.11

Uni: Sawada-san!!

Gokudera: Tenth!!
Yamamto: Tsuna!!

Kyoko: Tsuna-kun!!
Haru: Tsuna-san!!

Byakuran: Now, Uni-chan! // Your knight in shining armor is gone.

Tsuna: Ow…

Tsuna: Owww!!
Byakuran: !

Tsuna: *cough* // *hack*

Tsuna: …!!

Pg.12

Tsuna: Th-This ring!! // It's Lancia-san's!!

Byakuran: ! // The ring blocked my attack?!

[That's the ring Sawada-dono received from Lancia-dono ten years ago!!]

Tsuna: It's true after all… // Everything has helped me in some way…

Byakuran: ?

Tsuna: Nothing that has happened since I came to the future, has been pointless.

Tsuna: The bitter things… // The painful things…

Tsuna: The fun things…

Tsuna: It's because of everyone-

Pg.13

Tsuna: that…
Tsuna: I'm here right now…

Tsuna: All the things that I've found since coming here-

Tsuna: The skills,
Tsuna: and the weapons.
Tsuna: None of it would have done any good if I'd been alone…
Tsuna: It's because everyone was here, that I was able to achieve them.

Back bubbles:
1) These are band-aids♡
2) If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, I'll be right here!
- [Support… // I got it!!]
3) I want to see your perfected X BURNER.
4) I'll complete it for you.
5) Sorry!!
6) That box… // Maybe it just really wants to be friends with you, Tsuna-kun.
7) It's the "Vongola Box".

Tsuna: Would you call that unlucky…? // I wouldn't.

Pg.14

Tsuna: The time I've spent here with everyone… // is a treasure to me…

Tsuna: My flames… // were born because of this world you've taken over.

Tsuna: These are everyone's flames!!
Tsuna: The fact that you've hurt all those innocent people…

Tsuna: I'll make you regret it!!

Basil: The flames have rekindled!!

Kyoko: Ah!!
Haru: Tsuna-san!!

Uni: Sawada-san!!
Mukuro: However…

Pg.15

Byakuran: Hahaha!! I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you've solved nothing at all!! // The difference in our strengths haven't changed since you collapsed!!

- "I wonder about that."

Byakuran: !!

Yamamoto: Hey- // the rings!!

Gokudera: What?
Mukuro: !?
Ryohei: It's hot!!
Lambo: Gupya?

[That child's words are the same as our Boss's.]
[The same blood runs through him.]
[He's an an extraordinary man.]
[It's a shame. That kind of weak idea is useless for Vongola.]
[How dull.]

Pg.16

[…..]

[You should just do as you please,]
[like you always do.]

[You're right… G.]

Byakuran: !? // What?

["Decimo… // I agree with your thoughts."]

Byakuran: Where are you?! // Who's voice is that?!

Byakuran: How helpless you are.

Byakuran: I could easily snap this thin neck♪
Tsuna: Agh!!

[Katekyo HITMAN REBORN!]

[I can't… // move…]

Byakuran: I expected a better match. What a disappointment.

Byakuran: The size of your flames convey the amount of resolution you have. // Is your resolution to return your friends to the past so insignificant?

Byakuran: It's my turn♪

Tsuna: Ugh!

Byakuran: That's right. Keep it up.

PG.04

Kikyo: This is unbelievable!
Kikyo: An exchange of flames!!

Bel: Not bad for Vongola!
Bel: He's not yielding!

Mukuro: This core power
Mukuro: is the real Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Byakuran: This is it♪
Tsuna: !?

Pg.05

Dino: What's this sound?
Squalo: It's coming from Sawada and Byakuran's rings!!

Yamamoto: The flames are layering!!
Gokudera: What the hell's going on?!

Dino: Resonance…?

All: !!

All: !?

Pg.06

Haru: Uni-chan?!
Kyoko: Her pacifier!!
Dino: What is this sound?!

Uni: I don't know…!
Uni: Ah!

Uni: The pacifier… is resonating with Sawada-san and Byakuran's sky rings.

[Are the sky trinisettes… // calling to each other?]

Haru: Ahh!
Dino: She's floating!!

Pg.07

Uni: Everyone!!
Haru: Uni-chan!!
Uni: Uncle Reborn!!
Kyoko: She's floating away!!

Reborn: Wait!!

Reborn: Ngh!
Uni: Uncle!!

Irie: It's the boundries!!
Irie: The flames of the skies are creating a powerful boundary line!!

Uni: Uncle!!
Kyoko: Uni-chan!!
Uni: It's dangerous! // She's heading towards…!!

Someone: What's going on?!

Levy: Their boundaries keep expanding!!
Luss: We'll be blown away!!

Pg.08

Ryohei: L-Look!!
Ryohei: Another one's heading this way!!
Gokudera: What?!

Kikyo: !!

Yamamoto: Someone's inside!!

Yamamoto: Uni?!!

Levy: What is that child thinking?!
Levy: She's heading straight towards Byakuran!!

Tsuna: This can't be happening!!
Byakuran: She was called by us, Tsunayoshi-kun.

Mukuro: Vongola rings, Marre rings, and the Arcobaleno pacifiers…
Mukuro: The Trinisette is about to come together.

Mukuro: Are they gravitating towards one another
Mukuro: because of the weight of the powerful flames?

Pg.09

Spana: !!
Spana: This isn't good!!
Spana: Uni's boundary is going to merge with Byakuran's!!

Spana: Stop her!!
Spana: Don't let Uni get close to Byakuran!!

Yamamoto: It's not working!!
Yamamoto: The boundaries aren't breaking!!

Gokudera: Dammit!! We can't even get in!!
Gokudera: Even with so many of us here!!

pg.10

Tsuna: Uni!
Uni: Sawada-san!!
Tsuna: Don't… come…

Byakuran: I've been waiting for you, Uni-chan.
Byakuran: This is what happens when the powerful sky flames of the Trinisette come together.

Byakuran: We finally have the stage all to ourselves.
Byakuran: It's a special stage where only the sky's Trinisette can exist.

Byakuran: Though, since I have no use for you anymore, Tsunayoshi-kun,
Byakuran: I'll get rid of you now so that I can have the stage for Uni and myself.

Tsuna: Agh…!

Uni: Stop!!
Byakuran: Hm?

Byakuran: Don't you think
Byakuran: it's a little late to ask me to stop?

Byakuran: You were the one that forced Vongola to risk their lives to protect you, Uni.
Byakuran: I'm sure you knew that their opponent would be me, whom they'd be powerless against. // You merely ran around blindly like it was some tragic act, while increasing the number of victims.

Pg.11

Byakuran: You're far too selfish for your own good♪

Byakuran: Perhaps you wanted to see great numbers of people fighting for your sake.
Byakuran: Weren't you running just out of curiosity, Princess of the Arcobalenos?

Byakuran: ?!

Byakuran: What was that just now?
Uni: Ah-
Byakuran: You're hiding something inside your cape, aren't you?

Pg.12

Uni: No…
Uni: You mustn't yet….

Byakuran: Yet…?
Tsuna: …?

Uni: Kya!

Uni: Ahh!!

Gokudera: Those…
Gokudera: They're the pacifiers of the Arcobaleno!!

Mukuro: !?

Byakuran: Hm?!

Tsuna: ….!?

Fuuta: Ah!

Pg.13

Fuuta: Things are appearing
Fuuta: from withthin the pacifiers!!

Reborn: The reconstruction of the Arcobaleno's bodies is about to begin.
Gokudera: Reconstruction?!

Reborn: In other words-
Reborn: They're REBORN.

Kikyo: Reborn?!

Spana: Do you mean to say the strongest infants of the world are reviving?!

Pg.14

[I'd heard that with the power of they sky's Arcobaleno,]
[the Arcobaleno in temporary states of death can revive… But I never thought it would be from the pacifiers…]

Bel: That means…
Bel: Mammon is coming back too?

Lal: …Colonello!!

Byakuran: That so?

Kikyo: !! // Does this mean...
Kikyo: that Uni-sama's had this in mind when she escaped…?

Mukuro: Yes.
Mukuro: In order to give the Arcobaleno time to revive after being killed by Milliefiore…

[she pleaded with Sawada Tsunayoshi // to help her protect her comrade's pacifiers.]

Ryohei: B-But...
Ryohei: I don't get it!

Pg.16

Ryohei: When Colonello and the other infants revive,
Ryohei: what'll happen?!!

Lal: If they return, then the order of the Trinisette in this generation, in other words, the order of the world, will be regained again…
Lal: And above all, they're powerful!!!

Lal: If Sawada and the fully revived Arcobaleno combine powers,
Lal: they may be able to defeat Byakuran!!

Byakuran: That's true. There is no Non-Trinsette device here to kill the Arcobaleno,
Byakuran: and if they all revive now, it'll be troublesome.

Byakuran: But from the looks of things,
Byakuran: I'm guessing that it'll take at least another hour for the Arcobaleno to revive.

Uni: !!

Byakuran: I've hit the mark.
Tsuna: Ughh!!

Pg.16

Gokudera: Tenth!!
Yamamoto: Tsuna!

Uni: Sawada-san!!

Byakuran: No matter who should revive, I wouldn't lose,
Byakuran: but it would be a waste of time, no?

Byakuran: No one else can enter these boundaries.
Byakuran: You're mine♪

Uni: ……..!!

Byakuran: Crying won't get you anywhere either.
Byakuran: The Arcobaleno won't defeat me for you.

Reborn: That's right.

Pg.17

Byakuran: !
Uni: !

Reborn: The ones who'll defeat you aren't the Arcobaleno.
Reborn: It'll be my student…

Reborn: Tsuna.

[Dotachin, aka Kadota, appears and we find out that they're actually the colorless color gang called "Dollars".]
[With Kadota's effective threats, they were able to get the gangster to spit out who he was working for: "Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company".]

Kishitani: What exactly is this company and- (Ah!) // Welcome back, Certy! Want to read along with me?
[The story begins on the next page!]

Kadota: I'll leave the rest to you.
Togusa: Fine by me.

Togusa: This is the first time, isn't it? // We haven't done anything of this sort since Dollars came together.

Togusa: Wonder what the boss of Dollars is saying this time?

Kadota: No idea.
Togusa: Huh?

[In the past, us three belonged to a different group.]
[One day, I, being the leader of that group, got an email from Dollars.]

Pg.15

[The contents were simple. It asked us to join "Dollars".]
[All they asked of us was to call ourselves "Dollars". It was an odd invitation.]

[I wasn't particularly interested, but I was swept along by the enthusiasm of the others.]
[At first, I suspected it was a joke,]

[but the next day, my name was up in the list on the Dollar's homepage.]

Togusa: You don't mean to say…
Kadota: Yeah.

Kadota: Unfortunately,
Kadota: I haven't met the leader of Dollars either.

Pg.16

Togusa: (Huh?) Seriously?!
Kadota: Even though it's an established organization, no one knows who the wirepuller is.
[There's only one person who could organize such a strange organization…]

Mikado: [No one's raising their hand…]

Sonohara: Ah, um...

Pg.21

Kida: Ryugamine! // Ryugamine Mikado!
Mikado: Why are you speaking up for me?

Kida: You're an unpredictable guy.

Kida: When we were in elementary school, you'd cry just because people started rumors about you and a friend,

Kida: but now, you've become outgoing enough to chase after lovey-dovey rendezvous chances!
Mikado: By the way, Kida-kun…
Yagiri: I told you, I don't know!
Kida: What was that?
Mikado: !

Pg.22

[It's Sonohara-san.]
Sonohara: Are you sure you don't know?
Yagiri: I told you, she just stopped coming to school.

Midado: Hey, Kida-kun?!

Kida: Alright! Let's go hit on girls!
Mikado/Yagiri: Huh??

Pg.24

Mikado: What are you saying?!
Kida: It's always an advantage to have a tall guy with you when you're hitting on girls.

Kida: If it's just the two of us, your bland looks would take away from me, and it'd be pointless in the end.
Mikado: Hey, that's mean!

Mikado: Then why don't you just invite a classmate, Kida-kun?!
Kida: (Idiot!) If I do, then at least 20 people would tag along!
Mikado: What?! What's with the discrimination?!
Yagiri: Sorry, but...

Yagiri: I have a girlfriend.

Pg.25

Kida: Doesn't matter!
Kida: (All you have to do some talking! It's nothing!)
SFX: smack
MIkado: (Er,) actually, it matters a lot.

Yagiri: I can't. // It'd be betrayal if I did that.

Kida: You're an honest guy. You can't betray your girlfriend, huh?
Mikado: (Of course not!)

Yagiri: No, // it wouldn't be my girlfriend I'd be betraying.

Kida: Huh? Then who?

Pg.26

Yagiri: It'd be love.
Yagiri: It'd be betrayal of my love for her.

Yagiri: Even if I could betray my girlfriend,
Yagiri: I could never betray love!!

Pg.27

Kida: Ah… I see…
Mikado: ….

Kida: Well, good luck, I guess!

Yagiri: Yeah, thanks!!

Kida: You've got a pretty passionate guy in your class too.
Mikado: Looks like it...

Mikado: It's // not

Mikado: working in the least.

Kida: What're you talking about? The point is to talk to them!
Mikado: I think it's useless to talk to office workers during their lunch break...

Kida: It's only impossible if you say it is! It's only pointless if you say it is! // Understand?
Mikado: I'm gonna go to the 60 Story Street.

Kida: (What?! Are you trying to hit on girls by yourself?! Are you gonna do a "Oil Hell Murder*"?!)

Mikado: There sure are a lot of Raira Gakuen students here.
Mikado: Kinda like a color gang!

Mikado: Huh?

Mikado: [It's Sonohara-san!]

Mikado: Sonohara-sa…

Girl1: How can you be so aloof when Harima Mika has gone missing?
Girl2: I heard you're in the Class Council now. // Quit acting like an honor student.

Mikado: What…?

Pg.30

Girl3: Say something!
Girl2: You were always tagging around Mika in middle school, weren't you?
Mikado: [Ugh, she's being bullied… // This is really cliche.]

Mikado: As a member of the class council, I should probably help her out.
Mikado: But how…?

Mikado: (Ah!) I know! I'll just go up to her smiling, as if I hadn't noticed the bullying! // That's it!
SFX: clench

Mikado: And if something happens, then so be it!!

Mikado: Huh?

Izaya: Now, now. Bullying is never a good idea.

Pg.33

Izaya: It's the wrong thing to do.

Girl3: What's it got to do with a geezer like you?
SFX: Haha!
Girl2: Who is this guy? He cracks me up!!
Izaya: Exactly! // It's got nothing to do with me.

Izaya: Which is why I couldn't care less if you get killed here.
Izaya: Whether I punch you, or stab you, or even if you decide to call a 23 year old man a 'geezer',
Izaya: our relationship, or lack there of, won't change.
izaya: All humans are connected, and yet at the same time, have no relation with each other.
Girl3: Huh?
Izaya: Hey.

Izaya: Humans are so determined, don't you think?

Girl3: Eh?

Girl3: My bag!!
Izaya: (Well,) I don't particularly find enjoyment in punching girls though.

[Certy Sturluson, the rider of the black bike, turned out to be the legendary "Durahan".]
[People call her a headless rider, but in truth, she's actually lost her head, and came to Ikebukuro in search of it.]
Kida: And it seems as though she's has feelings for Kishitani Shinra, the Black Market doctor whom she currently resides with.

[Tanaka Taro: Do you know of Dollars, Setton-san?]
[Setton: Yes, I've heard of them… Haven't we talked about this before?]
[Tanaka Taro: Ah, I guess. Sorry about that.]
[Setton: I've never seen them before, but I wonder if they really exist?]
[Tanaka Taro: Are you saying it's just an online rumor?]
[Setton: I don't know, but even if they are real, I highly doubt normal people would run into them.]

Pg.11

[-Kanra-san has entered the chatroom-]
[Kanra: Are you talking about Dollars? They say it really exists. There's even an official homepage, but you need an ID and password to view it.
[Setton: Well, I don't intend to see it, so it's fine.]

Togusa: Just like you, we've got higher ups too, you know?

Togusa: Those people // are bothered by the situation.
Togusa: They're saying you guys haven't been contacting our higher ups.

[D…Dammit.]
[Weren't we supposed to have had an agreement about the location of the job, with the gang on this island?!]
Togusa: Tell me,

Togusa: the fact that you haven't even told me your name doesn't make you a mobster, does it?
SFX: (ga) grab

Pg.17

Togusa: If you are a mobster, then you'd better ring up your boss and discuss things.
Togusa: Settlement with us is a totally different story.

Togusa: And if you don't agree, // then I'll just take it that you lot aren't up to it.

Karisawa: Yes? What's up, Togusa-san?
Togusa: I've got a word for the both of you.

Black: You're not serious-

Yumasaki: It's time to seal the contract.
Yumasaki: Now, call the name of the mastermind.

Black: Wait! Wait! You gotta be kidding me!!
Karisawa: Yumacchi, remember, the star in the seal is a backward pentacle.
Yumasaki: Yes, my lord.
Black: H-Hey…!!

Yumasaki: Good kids shouldn't copy what we're doing. Or at least, that's what you'd normally say.
Black: Hey…
Karisawa: Like the ones that commit murders from the influence of mangas?
Black: Wait…

Yumasaki: No, no.
Yumasaki: Mangas and novels aren't to blame. // Neither are movies, games, parents, or school.

SFX: ha // haa
Black: St.. // Stop…
Yumasaki: And if that didn't exist, we'd use educational textbooks.

Yumasaki: "There's no way our kid is that smart!" // Is that what you think, we'd ask.

Kadota: Hey, cut it ou.

Karisawa: Dotachin!

Black: Yes. (For the most part.)

Black: Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company.

Kadota: Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company?
Kadota: [That's the company that's been on the wane lately.]

Kadota: So a major company is kidnapping people and using them as test subjects?
SFX: hahaha
Kadota: What kind of shady story is that?

Black: I-It's true!
Karisawa: (No way...)
Yumasaki: (To use as rock ingredients…?)
Kadota: Ah, I get it. I get it.

Kadota: I doubt he'd tell lies at a time like this.
Kadota: And I have been hearing odd rumors about Yagiri Pharmaceutical Company.

Kadota: Well, either way, // we'll let you off about now.

[The legendary Black Rider appeared in front of Orihara Izaya, one of the most dangerous people in Ikebukuro. The two seemed to be acquaintances.

[Thanks to the appearance of the black market doctor, Shinra, we were able to figure out that the Black Rider is actually the headless knight, Durahan, often told of in ancient stories, and female.]

[She carried her head under her arm,]

[rode a two-wheeled carriage driven by a headless horse called Coiste Bodhar,]

[and apeared at the doors of humans on their deathbeds.]

Certy: [I suppose I've been influenced by the Japanese quite a bit.]

SFX: toss
Certy: [I've been searching for my head for 20 years.]

SFX: fwump
Certy: [The memories that I have go back to a few hundred years…]

Pg.9

Certy: My head.

Certy: My… // My head.
Certy: Where is // my head?

Certy: I can't find my head anywhere.

Pg.12

Certy: [Where is it ?!!]

Certy: (That dream… // again.)

SFX: sit up
Certy: [How can I see dreams when I don't have eyes or a brain?]

Certy: The memory // of when I lost my head 20 years ago.

Pg.13

[20 years ago in Ireland.]

[I woke up in the mountains, // and realized that I had lost my head along with a scattering of memories.]

[Knowledge of what I had been doing,]
[and memories before a certain time.]

[The memories that remained, were the fact that I was Durahan,]
[that my name was Certy Sturluson,]

[and how to use my special abilities.]

Pg.14

[I realized then,]
Certy: (This must mean that I never used my brain to think.)
[that, and…]

[I was able to sense the whereabouts of my head.]

Pg.15

Certy: [But… // if my head left me upon its own will…]

Certy: [If that were the case…]

Certy: [Still…]

[In the end, I won't know until I find my head.]
[Until I find my memories and the meaning of my existence.]

Pg.16

[My purpose now is to find my head.]
[That is the meaning of my existence for the meantime.]

SFX: clomp

Certy: [I followed the sense of my head, and found myself here.]

Certy: [It looks like it traveled overseas on a ship.]

Certy: [If I go after it, what will I do with you…?]
Horse: BRR?

Pg.17

Certy: !

Pg.18

[I transferred the spirit that had been driving my the lifeless horse and the carriage, to an abandoned pitch black two-wheeled vehicle that I had found.]

[My destination was Japan, the country my head was traveled to.]

[I exchanged my armor for a riders' suit to match my two-wheeler. // My 'shadow' has the ability to change into various shapes.]

Pg.19

[I had thought that this way, I could travel in peace, without being found.]
SFX: clatter
Certy: !

[But I was found by one young boy.]

Pg.20

[That young boy is my current landlord, Kishitani Shinra.]
[He calls himself, "a black market doctor". // He treats patients who are unable to see normal doctors,]
[and his main operations include gun wounds and undercover plastic surgeries.]

[His father was also a doctor, and on that ship, he had a proposition for me.]
["If you let me perform an autopsy on you just once, then I promise to provide you with a place to stay."]

Pg.22

[Shinra's father never reported his research to the public.]
[He only dissected this "new species" for his own satisfaction.]

Pg.22

[I expected that Shinra would never grow up to be a decent adult, raised by such a parent,]

SFX: zzzz
[and I was right.]

SFX: click
SFX: thunk!
[That's the kind of guy he is, but…]

Pg.23

[lately,]
SFX: fwump
[I've been looking at Shinra as a man.]

[At first, I didn't know that meant,]
SFX: thud
SFX: close

Certy: [Is this what they call love?]
[but I'm beginning to understand the feeling.]

Pg.24

[Does this mean that I've developed human values?]
Certy: [I am not human, and yet I have the heart of one.]

Certy: [I can connect with humans.]
Certy: [I want to believe that.]

[A lifeless thing that holds one emotion…]
Certy: [In order to know for sure, I need to find my memories and my head.]

[Even if it should take me decades,]
[I will not give up, for that is reason I came to Japan.]

Target 275 - Sawada Tsunayoshi vs Byakuran

Pg.02

Tsuna: Ngh!
Byakuran: Alright there?

[Byakuran has obtained absolute power…!!]
Basil: Byakuran's flames...!!
Gokudera: Did he just say they're the flames that GHOST absorbed?!

Kikyo: [So that's how it was… This was GHOST's abilities…] // [GHOST served as Byakuran's flame collector… // But…]

Dino: That would mean that he transferred the flames indirectly from another body, // but is that even possible?!

Byakuran: Haha, but GHOST isn't really 'another body'. // He's me from a parallel world.

Pg.03

Dino: What?!
Gokudera: No way!!

Byakuran: Apart from the special ability to absorb flames, // he's also able to share that energy with me. // Well, in the end, // this is all my power♪

Ryohei: What does that mean…?
Yamamoto: I don't get it!
Mukuro: One thing is for certain. // If Byakuran has stolen the flames of everyone here, // with the exception of Tsunayoshi-kun, // then the mass of those flames // is immeasurable.

Pg.04

Ryohei: What are those wings?!
Yamamoto: Are they made up of dense flames?!
Byakuran: Ah… // These flames aren't just plain flames. // They're a symbol.
Ken: ??

Byakuran: They're a symbol of the fact that I've overcome humanity. // Proof, you could say♪

Dino: What are you saying?! // That you're God or something?!
Kikyo: Hmph, God? // On the contrary, Byakuran-sama is the Devil whom you should all worship.
Byakuran: Hehe.

Tsuna: It doesn't matter. // Whatever you are, // whatever methods you choose to take,

Pg.05

Tsuna: I'll bring you down with these hands.
Byakuran: That's more like it, Tsunayoshi-kun. // After all, I came all the way here to fight you.

Bel: Geez, he's totally into this.
Fran: I can almost feel the electricity running through the air.

Pg.06

Byakuran: That tickles, Tsunayoshi-kun.
Tsuna: !! // Ngh!
[He won't even budge…!!]
[And the ring's flame pressure keeps rising!!]

Pg.07

Byakuran: Why don't you go play with my pet?

[White Dragon]

[His hand turned into a dragon?! // No…]
[Is that a box weapon?!]

Pg.08

Tsuna: Nuts!
Byakuran: Wow.

Pg.09

Tsuna: Are you okay?!

Byakuran: I bet you've never seen a Dragon box weapon. It's one of a kind, and made personally for me. // That wasn't even at full power either.
Tsuna: !!
Byakuran: Next, I'll rip right through you.

Nuts: Grar!!
Tsuna: [Don't be provoked by him, Nuts.]

Pg.10

Basil: A direct hit?!!
Gokudera: No!!

Dino: He's good!! // He's freezing the flames! // It's Zero Level Breakthrough, First Edition!!

Pg.11

Tsuna: Now, Nuts!! // Campio Forma Modo Attacco!!

[Modo Attacco?]
Yamamoto: His cape isn't the only thing Nut's can transform?!
Dino: !! // Long ago, when Primo focused all his body's flames into his fist and shot the ultimate blow, // it is said that the form of his glove transformed.
Gokudera: The ultimate blow?!
Yamamoto: Tsuna's full power attack would be-
Lal: his fist that has a power to rival the X BURNER!!

Pg.12

[Mitena di Vongola Primo!!!]

Byakuran: Sounds interesting. // I'll be able to see Tsunayoshi-kun's real power.
Tsuna: ! // [He's not going to dodge it?]
[I've had enough // of his games.]

Pg.13

Tsuna: Aaagh!!

[Big Bang Axel!!!]

Byakuran: Mm~ // There♪

Pg.14

[White Applause!!!]

Tsuna: !!

Pg.15

Tsuna: …….
Byakuran: Hahaha! // I beat // your Vongola box~♪

Dino: Did he just… // extinguish the flames with the pressure of his palms…?!

Byakuran: White Applause is an invincible defense that crushes any attack to smithereens. // What do you think, Tsunayoshi-kun? // I'm sure you've never fought in a battle where you felt such an immense difference in power. // Aren't you scared?

Pg.16

Byakuran: Even though you're the boss of a mafia group, you're still a Middle Schooler. // There's nothing to be embarrassed about. // You could back out here, // or-

Pg.17

Byakuran: you could
Tsuna: Ugh!

Byakuran: die♪
[Not even the Vongola box works!! The difference in power is devastating…!!]

Gokudera: Good job… // Tenth!!
Lal: Sawada...

Ryohei: That was great to the extreme, Sawada!!
Tsuna: Stay back.

Ryohei: What?!
Gokudera: Eh?!
Squalo: Something's not right.
Xanxus: …..…
Mukuro: Yes.

Pg.06

Dino: Zero Level Breakthrough is a tactic that absorbs the opponent's flames and turns them into your own, // but Tsuna's flames didn't grow, even after having absorbed GHOST's flames…
Kikyou: That's true...
Kaki: Now that you mention it…
Luss: There's no mistake that GHOST had a great amount of flame power. // After all, it devoured not only our flames, but the flames of the Real Sixth Funeral Wreaths too. // We're all woozy now~

[What's the meaning of this…? // Where did all those flames go…?!]
Byakuran: Impressive indeed!!
Tsuna: !!

Pg.07

Byakuran: You defeated GHOST so easily♪
Tsuna: !!
Gokudera: Byakuran!!
Kikyou: Byakuran-sama!!
Dino: He's here!

Pg.08

Byakuran: I'm honored to be in the presence of so many notable faces.
Dino: The boss of the Chiavorone Family, // Vongola's independent assassination group, Varia, // Mukuro-kun and his followers, // the guardians of Vongola,

Pg.09

Byakuran: and lastly, Vongola's Tenth. // The entire main force of the Italian mafia Family, Vongola, is assembled before me. // You know, Tsunayoshi-kun. // You really are a curious person.
Tsuna: !
Byakuran: To be able to coerce Mukuro-kun and Xanxus-kun to submit to you, when they too once tried to kill you… // That couldn't have been an easy feat.
Xanxus: Hey, scum. // Whoever said-

Pg.10

Xanxus: I was submitting to him?
Kikyou: Byakuran-sama!!
Mukuro: Ku,fu,fu. He's got that right. // I'd thought that the only ones // who would take my word and actions at face value // would be an ignorant little girl, or foolish young boy, // but I see you've put me with the Mafia too. // How insulting.

Bykauran: I see, // so sorry. // Anyway, it looks like you're all quite worn out. // What was that feeble attack just now? // Well, I guess it can't be helped, since you had most of your flames sucked dry by GHOST. // You're all running on empty right now.
Tsuna: Everyone, stay back.

Pg.12

Tsuna: I'll be his match.
Byakuran: Ahaha. // Do you have any clue why I came here, Tsunayoshi-kun? // It's because I'm ready now♪ Both my heart and my body.
Tsuna: I've been ready // for ages.

Xanxus: He's quick!!

Pg.14

Lal: [When did he get this strong…?]
Mukuro: [So this is the Sawada Tsunayoshi that was summoned from the past, and underwent many battles and severe training in this generation.]

Tsuna: !?

Lal: !?
Squalo: [He was stopped!!]
Tsuna: [What is this strength?! // He won't even budge…!!]
Byakuran: Oh, what's wrong? // Is this all you've got? // Now it's my turn♪

Kikyou: What?!
Yamamoto: Tsuna!!

Byakuran: You don't mean to say this is as much as you can handle, do you? // I still haven't even used a tenth of the flames that GHOST aborbed!
All: !?

Kikyou: Should we consider him as your double, Byakuran-sama?
Byakuran: Well, I guess you could call him that. // Though, to be honest, he's not exactly a copy. // He's me, after all.

Byakuran: You know, Kikyou-chan~ // Don't you think work would be a lot easier if there were two of you? // That's why I brought him over. // A me from a different parallel world♪
Kikyou: !! // You brought yourself over from a parallel world?! // So he's Byakuran-sama that originally existed in a parallel world...?
Byakuran: Yup.

Pg.011

Kikyou: But how is that possible?!
Byakuran: It wasn't.
[Future // → Transport // Past]
Kikyou: What?!
Byakuran: Even with the newest scientific technology, it was a disaster of an operation♪ // I destroyed the world he came from. // And, / I managed to bring him back, but barely in the shape of human. // He ended up becoming a mutant who sucks up any dying will flames in his path. // Remember? / A few days ago, a number of military ships sunk in the Mediterranean sea. // That was actually a test to assess his abilities.
Kikyou: It was?!
[However, since a few relations of the Mafia fell victim, // the guys of Vindice ended up arresting him.]
Kikyou: Vindice?!
Byakuran: Well, I'll just get him out when I need him.

Pg.012

Byakuran: In the tests, I discovered a very valuable asset of his. // Though, in a sense...
[It's my own // power♪]

[So the asset that Byakuran-sama was talking about // was his power to absorb flames...]

Kishitani: when it's unclear if you have a brain in this current state.

Kishitani: This is just my guess, but-

Kishitani: The "shadow" that flows ceaselessly from your body...
Kishitani: Say that this mysterious SF substance is projected outwards // and bounces back, picking up vital information.
Kishitani: Like a radar.

Certy: I have no interest in complicated things.

Kishitani: Certy... // You know right?

Kishitani: That my interest in the matter as a doctor is all a front.
Kishitani: I just want to feel what your world is like.

Kishitani: Not just your vision.
Kishitani: I want to know your morals too.

Kishitani: I want to know what you, "Durahan", the headless Knight that materialized in this town,
Kishitani: sees in this world.

Pg.82

[Durahan.]

[A headless Knight on a carriage driven by a headless horse, who rides in search of people on their deathbeds.]
[You're are like someone from a myth.]

Certy: I am aware of what I am, but the only memory I have of myself, is my name.
Certy: You know that.
Certy: It all began 20 years ago after I lost my head.
Kishitani: Yes.

[And you have been wandering since then, in search of your head.]

[You followed the vague sense of your "neck", and found yourself in Japan.]
[You even changed shape for this sake alone.]

Pg.83

SFX: stand
Kishitani: For ages...

Kishitani: we've all heard countless stories of headless hunters in search for their heads.

Kishitani: Like the legend that was created into a movie called "Sleepy Hollow".

Kishitani: What if, in fact,

Kishitani: that was you too?

Kishitani: Nothing much. // I just thought you must've had a tough day today.

Certy: ... and it was an easy commission, considering it was from Orihara Izaya.

[I know it's here, in Ikebukuro!!]
SFX: bam

Kishitani: But you know, Certy...

Kishitani: It's been 20 years.

Kishitani: You are elusive, and very unique.
Kishitani: But at this rate, I can say for certain that your hopes are a long ways off.

[S-So this guy is the most dangerous person in Ikebukuro?
[He looks normal, at least.]
Izaya: ...?

Mikado: Ah- // Um...

Izaya: Your name sounds like an A/C.
Mikado: A/C?!

Mikado: That's Kiri*...
{*TLN: "Kirigamine" is an A/C model from Mitsubishi.}
Kida: What brought you all the way out here?

Izaya: It's nearly time, so I'll go now.

Izaya: It'll be troublesome if they come, anyway.

Kida: Let's go.

Mikado: Kida-kun!
Mikado: That guy just now... // Is he really that dangerous?

SFX: Mmm...
Kida: Well, not dangerous per se,

Kida: but more like unstable.
Kida: It's a different sort of 'dangerous' than a mobster.
Kida: He's unpredictable. // His convictions change every 5 seconds.

Kida: He makes me sick.
Kida: That's the kind of guy he is.

Kida: I'm never going to that side again.

[I wonder why...?]

[My heart is beating fast....]
[The words "I want to go home" have faded away completely.]

Izaya: Then let's make a toast.

Pg.61

Izaya: To the three of us meeting,
Izaya: and an eternal farewell to this world.

Izaya: Cheers.
SFX: clank

Izaya: Juliette and Blackbell, are you sure I was the right choice?
Izaya: I'm sure there are better people out there to commit a joint suicide with.

Girl1: There aren't. That's why we're going to die.
Izaya: You have a point there.
SFX: nod

Girl1: We found the website,
Girl1: and came to this offline meeting.
Website: Suicide Website

Text: Let's "go" together!

Girl1: I just can't stand it. To think that even as we speak, that man is meeting up with that woman. It's been 3 months since we broke up too... (Haha...)
Girl1: I'd be able to forget it all if I died.

Girl2: There's nothing left for me.
Girl2: I graduated art school but can't even find a place to work. It feels like I'm being told I'm worthless trash, every time I go to a job interview.

Girl1: And in terms of methods, // charcoal* has been pretty popular.
{TLN: Burning charcoal can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.}
Girl2: I thought we could all just jump.
Izaya: And?

Izaya: What about after you die?
Girl2: Eh- // you mean in heaven?

Girl2: Do you believe in afterlife, Nakura-san?
Izaya: What about you girls? Do you believe in it?

Girl1: (I...) I believe in it!
Girl1: I believe that I'll become a spirit and wander around in this world.

Girl2: I don't believe in it.
Girl2: There's nothing after death, but at least it's better than staying in this foul world.

Izaya: Ah, you're both wrong.

Girl2: What did you just say, Nakura-san...?
SFX: slump
Girl1: What's wrong, Nakura-san?

Pg.63

Izaya: You shouldn't even be thinking about life after death when you're about to die.

Izaya: Belief in an afterworld is a right reserved for living people.
Izaya: I wouldn't bother to say anything if that's the conclusion you've come to, after thinking death through and through.

Girl1: N-Nakura-san...?

Izaya: But that's not the case for you two, is it?
Izaya: It's unforgivable to choose death, and yet cling to the selfish belief of an afterlife.

Girl2: U- // Um...

Girl2: Nakura-san, // do you even intend to die?
Izaya: Of course not.

Speaker: The new release this week is a song by the hot duo group-

Girl1: Traitor!! // So were you lying to us?!
SFX: clatter x2
Girl2: Hey... // that's really low of you!

Izaya: I knew it'd turn out this way.
Girl2: What do you mean, you knew?

Izaya: I doubt there'd be any level-headed person looking for a suicide companion in the first place.
SFX: Hahaha
Izaya: Even if there were, it'd either be a hoax, // or someone just like me.

Girl2: Bastard!!
Girl2: Who do you think you are?! You're the worst!!
SFX: slam
SFX: blink
Izaya: Eh, why?
Izaya: I don't see the problem here.

Girl2: Why...?
Izaya: You girls...

Izaya: are going to die, right?
Izaya: Then why care about what anyone says?

Izaya: If being double-crossed is that unbearable, then why not just die now?
Izaya: Everything bad would just disappear. In fact, you yourselves would disappear.

Izaya: And to tell me I'm the worst... // That hurts.
Girl2: I know that, but-
Izaya: No, you don't.

Pg.65

Izaya: You don't understand one bit. // You said there was "nothing" in the afterlife.
Izaya: That's where you're wrong.

Izaya: Dying means to be gone.
Izaya: And what goes, is not your pain, but your existence itself.

Izaya: But in your mind, you think that you'd have a sense of "nothing" after you die.
Izaya: How can you call that "nothing"?
Izaya: In other words, you don't even have an idea of of what death is really like.

Girl1: (Th...) That's just your opinion!
Izaya: Exactly.

Izaya: I just think that there is no afterlife. That's all.
SFX: thud
Izaya: After all, I'm an atheist.

Izaya: But it's different for you girls. // You don't even believe in the afterlife completely.
Izaya: Death is merely a convenient escape for you.
Izaya: People like you // should just

Izaya: shut up.

SFX: riiiiiiiing
SFX: jump
SFX: clack
Izaya: 10 more minutes? // Got it~

Izaya: Hahaha-

Izaya: To be honest, what I meant when I asked "What about after you die?"
Izaya: was more in the sense of money-issues.

Girl2: Eh?

Izaya: I mean you're going to die anyway, right? Then why not borrow money from loads of places
Izaya: and give it to me before you kick the bucket?

Izaya: Oh, and if you sell your registrar and your bodies, it'd rake in a good price too.
SFX: pinch x2

SFX: step... // slide
Izaya: I know ways to go about that too.

Izaya: Now then, a question.

Izaya: Question number 1.

Izaya: Why am I sitting in the seat closest to the door?

Girl1: What are you-
Girl2: Kya!
SFX: thunk

Izaya: Question number 2.
SFX: jab

Izaya: What are these two wheeled suitcases doing here?

Izaya: I'll give you a hint. // The suitcases are empty.
Girl2: Eh-
Izaya: Another hint.

Izaya: I brought suitcases to match your size.

Girl1: Someone help us!!
Girl2: Help us!!

SFX: wobble
Girl2: What?!

Izaya: Question number 3.
SFX: jab

Izaya: If the two of you came at me, you could easily save yourselves. So, why can't you?
Girl1: What's... // going on...?

Pg.68

Izaya: Hint.
Izaya: I drugged your drinks.

Izaya: It's love.
Izaya: I don't sense you have any love for death.

Izaya: You have to embrace death with love.
Izaya: You need to pay your respects to "nothing".

Izaya: Or else, I don't think I can die with you.

Girl1: I won't forgive you...
SFX: grit
Girl1: I'll... // kill you.

Izaya: Great to hear that.
Izaya: If you have the energy for hatred, you can still live.

Pg.69

Izaya: I'm amazing!
Izaya: I'm your savior.

Izaya: Ah!! But-
SFX: let go
SFX: thud

Izaya: I'd hate to be resented.

Izaya: Maybe I should kill you, after all.

Pg.70

Izaya: Too bad. I wasted precious time today.
Izaya: Last time, it was a lot more fun with a group of atheists.

Izaya: I wonder what drives people into taking their own lives.

Izaya: It's beyond me.
Izaya: Ah...

Izaya: (Ha...) Hahaha...

Izaya: Hahahahaha...

Izaya: Ahahahahahaha!

Pg.71

Izaya: Ahahahahahahaha!!!

Izaya: I can't wait!
Izaya: I can't wait!
Izaya: I can't wait!!

Izaya: This town // is still teeming with things that even an informer like me has yet to discover!
Izaya: They're born, // and they die.

Izaya: I want to know more about people!

Izaya: People
Izaya: love!!

HiroC: It's odd though. // We hadn't been told we had a commission today...
Yuki: (Oh, yes!)
Yuki: That's because-

[When I was wondering aimlessly through the town,]
[I remembered DGS, and sent a message to the show from my phone.]
SFX: click
Yuki: Send... (There.)

Pg.069

Yuki: (Ahaha) Yeah right.
Yuki: (What am I thinking...?) I doubt they'd listen to a silly trouble like mine...

SFX: bzzzzzt!!
Yuki: Ack?!

Yuki: Y-Yes...?
Yuki: Hello...?
Phone: Hellooo!!!
SFX: boom
Yuki: !?
SFX: jump

Phone: This is Yukichan, right? Thanks for emailing DGS☆ // HiroC and OnoD will take care of your troubles!
SFX: blabber blabber blabber
Yuki: Um... but... er... (Who...?)
Phone: But the Super Handsome Commander is busy rehearsing for the Enimelo Summar Live※, // so just head over to the office yourself~ Bye!! (I'll send you the map~)
[※Means, Animelo Summer Live.]
SFX: beep

Yuki: -Which is what he said...
Yuki: (so that's why I came here...)
Yuki: (By the way,)
Yuki: (Who is the Super Handsome Commander...?)
Bold: That // Idiot Commander...!!
OnoD: Nn.....!
OnoD: (Rehearsal, my arse! You're no celebrity!!)

Pg.070

HiroC: And? Why did you run away from home?
Yuki: I fought with my mom... // about the future.

[I've loved singing since I was little.]

[Whenever I felt down,]
[music would always cheer me up.]

[And I wished that some day, I would be able to cheer others up through music. // But...]
Mom: Yuki! What is this school report?! // You really need to get your act together!
Mom: A musician? What nonsense!!

Pg.071

Yuki: (I'm...) I'm being serious!!!
Yuki: I want to do music for a living!!!

Yuki: Why?! You never said anything about my music before!! // Not even when I bought my guitar...!
Yuki: So why are you like this all of the sudden?!!

Mom: There are thousands of girls out there who "like singing".

Yuki [Why...?]
Mom: I can understand it being a hobby, but don't go thinking you can make a living off of music. // You've hardly got enough talent for that.
Mom: You're in High School already, Yuki. Stop playing around // and look at reality.
Yuki: [Why don't you understand?!!!]

Pg.072

Yuki: [Don't take music away from me...!!]

Yuki: And before I knew it... // I'd run out of the house with my guitar.
Yuki: Even I...
SFX: clench
Cat: meow?

Yuki: Even I don't know whether or not I have talent. // I don't have confidence either...
Yuki: But-

Pg.073

Yuki: I still love singing!

Yuki: I don't want to give up!!!

Yuki: I won't go back home until my mom sees. // Please, let me stay here, just for a while!
HiroC: But Yuki-chan, that's...

Pg.074

OnoD: Sure!

HiroC: Wait...! OnoD, you can't just- (She's a runaway, you know?!)
OnoD: Yuki-chan's so troubled though!

OnoD: Helping troubled girls... that's-

HiroC: (Ah!)
HiroC/OnoD: Dear Girls ~Stories~ HIBIKI!
OnoD: Right?

Pg.075

HiroC: (Aaaghh...)
HiroC: Out of habit...
OnoD: (I won over HiroC!)

HiroC: I guess it can't be helped... (It is summer vacation, after all.)

HiroC: Just for one day, okay?

Yuki: Wow~!

Yuki: This is great!
Yuki: I didn't know there was such a park around here!
Yuki: (Oh! There's a stage over there!)
SFX: swish
OnoD: You know,

Pg.076

OnoD: it's best to sing out loud when you're feeling down!
OnoD: (Right?)
HiroC: (We brought An and Gen along too.)

Yuki: Sing? You mean here?!
SFX: Eh?!
OnoD: Yup! (We've come all the way out here!)

OnoD: Let's just sing the day away!
OnoD: Time for a street live!!!

HiroC: Oooh!

Pg.077

HiroC: (Woah!) Acoustic guitars are cool~
OnoD: So are Shakuhachi* flutes!
{TLN: Traditional Japanese flutes.}
HiroC: We never asked you, OnoD.
Yuki: (Hehe...) I started a part-time job as soon as a got into High School and saved up money for this.

HiroC: Can you play something, Yuki?
OnoD: (Hey...)
Yuki: I can play one of OnoD's songs...
HiroC: Amamosu?! (You can play that?!)
OnoD: "Ama Oto", you mean.

OnoD: Wow!
HiroC: You really look like you're enjoying yourself.

OnoD: (Lightning-Class, I'd say. Almost as good as I am?)
HiroC: OnoD, nice☆self-confidence~

Pg.078

OnoD: (Hey, hey,) Do you write your own songs?
Yuki: Mm...
Yuki: I tried many times but // I don't get any better...

OnoD: Then how about me and HiroC help you write a song? // It's my forte! (Bring it~♪ Bring it~♪*)
{TLN: *OnoD's original 'song' written on the radio.}
HiroC: OnoD, Nice☆Self-Confidence for the second time today.

OnoD: Ehhhh?!!

SFX: wag x3
OnoD: (Punishment for people who mean things!!)
HiroC: (Hey... You're really creeping me out...!!!)

OnoD: Now then, the night is still long! What should I sing next~?♪
HiroC: (staggered...) How many mosu does he plan on singing...?
Police: Hey!
Police: You three!!!

Police: What time do you think it is?!
OnoD: !
Police: That girl is a minor, isn't she?
Police: Summer break or not, you can't keep her outside so late!

HiroC: Sorry, we were just about to leave...

HiroC: We were just a step away from losing our jobs as voice actors.
box text: crunchies

HiroC: What got into you this time, OnoD? // You were exceptionally fired up.
OnoD: I...

OnoD: I really admire // people who chase after their dreams.

OnoD: When I decided to become an actor, // my parents and friends all laughed at me...
OnoD: I kept asking myself, "Is what I'm saying laughable?"
OnoD: "Is my dream so ridiculous?"
OnoD: And because of that, I lost confidence and started to forget my own feelings...

Pg.083

OnoD: That's why I didn't want to disregard her dream.

Commander: Aloha!!!
SFX {stretches across panel}: sparkle♪

HiroC: (Oh god...)
HiroC: Why does he appear at the most annoying of times...?
OnoD: He ruined my great scene...
Commander: Stupid, stupid, stupid! // I saved your necks from the police, you know?! (Be grateful!)

Pg.084

Commander: Are you sure you wanna waste time staring off into space? // Yuki's mom threw away her guitar.
HiroC: Eh?!

OnoD: It's... // my fault...
HiroC: OnoD.

HiroC: This commission isn't over yet.

HiroC: I'm sure you know, OnoD...
HiroC: what she needs most right now.

OnoD: I have your precious item in my possession.
OnoD: If you want it back...
Yuki: [This voice...!]

OnoD: Look over your shoulder.

Pg.087

Yuki: I'm surprised you knew
Yuki: that I was here...

OnoD: I went to your house, but was told you'd been out since morning. // I kind of had a hunch you'd be here.

OnoD: Your mom is really worried, especially after yesterday, you know?
Yuki: I... // I decided to quit... singing...

Yuki: I caused trouble for you and HiroC too.
Yuki: I made mom cry too...

Yuki: That's why I'll stop being selfish.

Pg.088

Yuki: I've decided...
OnoD: But-
OnoD: you weren't able to throw it away, right?
[I don't want to give up...]
[Because I love music.]
OnoD: That precious dream in your hand.
[I don't want to give it up...]

Pg.089

OnoD: Oomph
OnoD: You know, this park-
OnoD: I used to come here a lot to practice, when I was aiming to become an actor.

OnoD: My parents and friends would laugh at me,
OnoD: but I didn't let that stop me practicing for hours on end. // I didn't want to give up my dream, no matter what others said.

OnoD: Hey, Yuki-chan.
OnoD: I'll never laugh at your dream!

Pg.090

OnoD: So what if you get scolded once! // If your parents can't see now, tell them until the do!
OnoD: Write songs every day, and promise yourself that someday, you'll write that one "great song"!!
OnoD: The strength to say you like something. // The feeling of excitement when you're doing something you enjoy. // If you remember that, you'll make it, Yuki-chan!!

OnoD: Ah, but-

HiroC: We considered playing OnoD's new song... // but it kinda pisses me off, so never mind.
OnoD: Hey! You sadist!!! (I only just announced my new song!)
HiroC: I mean, it's not fair that you're the only one who get's rich off this.

- Story: Suwa Masaru
- Based on: Kamiya Hiroshi・Ono Daisuke's Dear Girl ~Stories~

Pg.004

[Characters & Settings]

- An easy explanation for those that aren't familiar with "DGS HIBIKI"!

- HiroC (Kamiya Hiroshi)
A voice actor from Ao-- Productions. Is usually tsundere, and becomes DoS (a sadist) towards OnoD in particualar. He is very sweet to the nya-san (cats), however.

- OnoD (Ono Daisuke)
A voice actor from M--se Promotion. His hobbies include looking at Buddha statues (and cross-dressing?). He is also considered a handsome, but a little CK (creepy). Sometimes, his earnestness trips him up...

- Tera Ikemen (Super handsome) Commander.
A slightly high-and-mighty commander that relays girl's troubles that are sent in to the radio show, to the two. Seems to be connected to the script writer of the radio show "DGS", but the details are unclear...

- Nya-san (Cats)
SFX: Meow~
The cats that are given to the two as rewards for solving commissions from the girls. They are actually cats who have received special training, but their abilities are still unknown.

- Chanko Chanko
A huge-eater talent that works at Bunka Housou (Broadcasting). His hobby is eating.

- UchiP
The producer of the radio program. Is always rolling his video camera. Very tall.

- Script Writer: Suwa
The script writer of the radio show. His similarity to Tera Ikemen Commander is rather uncanny... Extreme sadist.

Pg.005

[What is the secret organization, "HIBIKI"...?]
The popular voice actors, Kamiya Hiroshi and Ono Daisuke are hosts on the radio show "Dear Girl ~Stories~". "HIBIKI" is the secret organization created in the shadows of it's mother show, in order to help dear girls throughout the country. The actual identity of the organization and its staff are a mystery, but there's no mistaking the fact that it has great power. Uniforms and pocket notebooks are provided.

[The flow from HIBIKI's commissions to solving them.
We'll explain the 3 steps that follow once the secret organization, "HIBIKI", receives a commission from a girl♪

①The girl's commissions come mixed in with the radio's mail. The one to judge whether or not it is a commission, is up to the script writer, Suwa.
②The Tera Ikemen Commander then relays information about the commission and the commissioner to the two rather vaguely. The commissioner receives a map to the office.
③Once the two hear the vague details, they meet with the commissioner and discuss the issue. They go over the best method to solving the problem, and take action!!

OnoD: Aren't secret organizations supposed to be hidden and sneaky...?
HiroC: (Ah,) that way of thinking is old!
HiroC: (Society even wants politics to be fully exposed, you know?)

OnoD: Oh, and another thing...
HiroC: (Hm?)

OnoD: Why do we have to be smothered in cats like this?

[I looked up to HiroC, who worked in the secret organization apart from his job as a voice actor.]

Cat: (Nyaaa~)
HiroC: (Can't hear you~)

Pg.013

OnoD: More importantly,
OnoD: can't we get commissions that are more time-worthy?

OnoD: The only commissions we've been doing since I came in have been // "cut open a durian for a girl" and... (reek) // (buzz) "buy a noise-hair cutter" and...
HiroC: (Ah, I remember that...)

HiroC: But the size of the trouble isn't what's important.
HiroC: Isn't it our job to help the troubled girl, regardless of what it may be?

OnoD: [HiroC...]
HiroC: And the best thing is, when we're successful, // we receive cats as rewards.

Pg.014

OnoD: [Why do we get cats as rewards in the first place??!!]
HiroC: Ah~ you heal me~

OnoD: [I've never liked cats!!!]

HiroC: Ah, good work!
OnoD: HiroC!
SFX: Great show~

OnoD: That letter back there...
HiroC: Yeah, // the script writer put a message in his pocket,
HiroC: which must mean that it's a commission or "HIBIKi".
OnoD: Thought so!

Pg.018

SFX: Alright!!
OnoD: What kind of commission is it this time?!
OnoD: (Woo) I'm getting fired up! (hoo)
HiroC sfx: step x3
HiroC: Let's just go back to the office for now.
SFX: ignore

OnoD: (Hey, wait, wait, HiroC!!) But isn't it troublesome to have the commission email address be the same as the radio? (I mean, we can't even tell the emails apart by ourselves...)
HiroC: It can't be helped. We have to keep "HIBIKI" a secret from A-ni and M-use. (Apparently, this is is the best way to keep it camouflaged.)

Commander: Hahahahahahahaha!

Commander: Everyone's favorite and handsome Commander here!!

Commander: It's been a while since you've gotten a decent commission.
OnoD: As snobby as ever...
OnoD: (And what's with that mask?)

Commander: The commissioner is "Sayaka". A High Schooler. // Sex: Female, of course!!
Commander: She needs help confessing to someone she likes, and searching for a lost item.

OnoD: A lost item?
Commander: The girl will be arriving at the office shortly, // so ask her for the details.
Commander: The reward for this commission... // is an american shorthair.

Pg.021

HiroC: I see~

HiroC: So you tripped on the train station platform on the first day of school,
HiroC: and fell in love at first sight with the guy that helped you...

HiroC: Do you know where he is?
SFX: nod...
Sayaka: Yeah. // He's Narazuka-kun, the student council president at my school.

Sayaka: Though we're facing graduation, as third years...
OnoD: But you look like a Gal. // I'd have thought it would be easy for you to confess.
OnoD: (Eek! Sorry!)
SFX: bam
Cats: jump
Sayaka: I can't! That's why I'm here in the first place!!
Sayaka: It's more like-

Pg.022

Sayaka: it's because of how I look,
Sayaka: that I can't confess.

OnoD: [Sayaka-chan...]

HiroC: What do you mean?
Sayaka: I mean, no matter how you look at me, I'm a Gal, right?
Sayaka: Narazuka-kun is in the student council and is very serious.

Sayaka: It would only trouble him // if someone like me confessed...

Pg.023

Sayaka: But at the time, // when everyone else on the platform just walked by,
Sayaka: Narazuka-kun was the only one who extended a helping hand.

Sayaka: And...
HiroC: You fell for him?

Sayaka: But...
Sayaka: I hardly think I'm suited for him with this look.

Sayaka: That's why I want to change!!
Sayaka: I know it'll take time to change on the inside but-

Sayaka: if I can just manage to change on the outside to fit his tastes...
OnoD: But you know, Sayaka-chan.

Pg.024

OnoD: Personally, I don't think looks should matter much when it comes to liking someone.
HiroC: Well, it's her wish to change. // Besides,

HiroC: that leopard print that even manages to intimidate our cats, // and those weapon-like nails.
HiroC: I have to say that they're probably a little too outrageous for the president of the student council.
Sayaka: (I know, right?)

OnoD: Ah, // by the way-

OnoD: The other commission... // What is the "lost item"?
Sayaka: Oh, well...

[It was something that Narazuka-kun lent me when he helped me.]
[A handkerchief with an embroidery of a cat.]

Pg.025

Sayaka: I'd kept it as a good luck charm since then,
Sayaka: hoping to be able to return it to him someday, // but it got blown away in the wind...

OnoD: A Gal who's clumsy... // Not bad.
SFX: gleam
HiroC: You're being a little creepy, OnoD.

Sayaka: I have a feeling I'd be able to confess if I had that handkerchief! // That's why I'm desperately asking you to find it for me!!

HiroC: What did the cat on it look like?
SFX: scratch x2
Sayaka: Um...

OnoD: A Gal who's clumsy and an awful artist... // Not bad at all.
HiroC: You there.
HiroC: (Shut up.)
HiroC: Stop experimenting with new ideas of moe*.
{TLN: Moe = Something that excites and/or stimulates lust. Fetish.}

Sayaka: Well, sorry for being an awful artist.

Pg.026

HiroC: Okay then. // This time, your commission includes "retrieving a lost item", "change", and "confession", right?
Sayaka: Eh?
Sayaka: You'll do all of them?
HiroC: Of course! // To help troubled girls...
HiroC: is the purpose of Dear Girl ~Stories~ HIBIKI!

OnoD: And besides, your body no longer belongs to only you.
HiroC: Who said you were dating?! (You're being creepy today.)

Pg.027

HiroC: Anyway, OnoD aside...
HiroC: Starting tomorrow,
HiroC: the plan goes into action!!!
SFX: whirl x2

SFX: whirl x2
OnoD: Wow~

OnoD: Gotta hand it to the organization!
OnoD: I didn't know they could prepare a helicopter...
SFX: unbelievable
HiroC: Yeah.

HiroC: We're here to investigate if Narazuka-kun's preference really is a clean-cut sort of girl,
HiroC: through a telephoto lens.

Pg.028

HiroC: (So with that said,) Here, take this.
SFX: toss
OnoD: ?

OnoD: Which button is the optical switch?
OnoD: (Mmm?)
SFX: clack x2

OnoD: Like I'd be able to see anything!!! (You're too much of a sadist for your own good!!)

SFX: rustle
OnoD: Geez!
OnoD: We should've done this from the start!
HiroC: I've always wanted to try out a helicopter at least once.
OnoD: Eh?!

OnoD: Our uniforms are really convenient, aren't they?

Pg.030

OnoD: I had no idea they turned into school uniforms when you wore them inside-out!
SFX: flap
SFX: ta-da☆
SFX: change!
HiroC: Of course. // They're provided by the organization, after all.

OnoD: I wished it were a sailor uniform instead~ // I did shave my legs for that reason.
SFX: shiny
HiroC: [That's called "perverted", not "disguised"!!!

OnoD: It seems like today is the last day for third years, // since they don't have many classes to attend.

OnoD: It's him.

Pg.031

OnoD: Narazuka Hiroyuki.
OnoD: Okay,
SFX: slip
OnoD: I'm going in...
SFX: clip

HiroC: From our investigations,

HiroC: we weren't able to tell what kind of girl he likes, // but it's true that there were only clean-cut looking girls around him.
SFX: flop
HiroC: Well, he mostly spends his time in the Library or the Student Council room.
HiroC: It could be the reason why we only saw studious girls.

Pg.032

Sayaka: I guess a Gal like me has no chance in the end...
SFX: thud
HiroC: No worries!
SFX: thunk

HiroC: Just for you, Sayaka, // we've borrowed heaps of costumes from the costume department of the organization!

HiroC: Like...

HiroC: A collared shirt, tight skirt, and glasses-
SFX: bam
HiroC: -and you get a clean-cut home tutor!!!

HiroC: (Er,) you're being a nuisance, OnoD.
OnoD: (Ah~♡ I finally crossed-drossed~♡)
SFX: ya~y
SFX: enraptured

OnoD: There were two of each, so I couldn't help it...

Sayaka: Hey, isn't there anything more decent? (Were any of those really clean-cut?!)
Girl: I want something normal.
SFX: rustle x2
HiroC: (Mmm...) Let's see...

Pg.034

HiroC: How's this?

OnoD: I think I might really fall for you...
Sayaka: R-Really...?

Sayaka: Oh, and what about the handkerchief...?
HiroC: It's all under control.

Pg.035

HiroC: We're leaving that up to the professionals.
SFX: meow!!

Cat: (Cat's are in shock!)
OnoD: You know, I think-
OnoD: dogs would be better suited for this job.
Cat: (Cat's in shock yet again!!!)

HiroC: But hey, you made a lovely transformation on the outside.
OnoD: Eh?! // Why?!
Cat SFX: Hiss
HiroC: I'm sure you'll be able to confess, even without the handkerchief!

Sayaka: Yeah... but...
OnoD: He's right!

Pg.037

OnoD: You'll be alright Sayaka-chan!!!
SFX: hiss
OnoD: So let's just go for it!!

SFX: grip...
Girl: ...... // Yeah...

HiroC: Look, he's coming! / It's Narazuka-kun.

Sayaka: I- // I can't confess...
HiroC: It's alright! Next step after a change on the outside is-

HiroC: a change on the inside!
SFX: push
Sayaka: Ah!

Pg.039

OnoD: Sayaka-chan...

OnoD: In the end,
Cat sfx: meow~ // purr purr
OnoD: we weren't able to do anything for her.

OnoD: Sayaka-chan was really depressed...
[I knew that... // I had no chances...]

[I'm so weird, aren't I? Usually, I'm so flashy and yet...]
[I couldn't even manage to confess because of a silly little handkerchief.]

Pg.040

[And that girl next to him, // she's the vice president of the student council.]
[I bet she's going out with Narazuka-kun.]

[Those two]
[are so well suited for each other.]

[Sorry! // I know you did a lot for me but]
[I don't think I'm cut out for this pure love sort of thing.]

[I'll just go back to being the Gal that I am...]

OnoD: Then that girl was...
Commander: Under investigation by the organization, // we were able to find out that she was merely receiving instructions from Narazuka-kun, as the succeeding Student Council President. // However, even with the organizations powers, we weren't able to uncover who he likes.

Commander: Hahahahahaha!
OnoD: Then that means Sayaka-chan still has a chance!
HiroC: But she's already given up completely...

Pg.042

Commander: Are you satisfied with that though?
Commander: Isn't it the task of Dear Girl ~Stories~ HIBIKI
Commander: to help troubled girls?
[That's right.]

Radio: That's not a bad thing, but when you get too wrapped up in the superficial aspects,
SFX: meow
Radio: you end up hiding your own feelings behind those fancy clothes. // What you really need to show, are your honest feelings,
SFX: flop

Radio: no matter how awkward they are.
Radio: But you need the courage to express your feelings,
Radio: which is why...

Girl: Wait for me, Seiji-san!

Mikado: ......

Mikado: (H-Hey!!) Don't tell me he's an Ikebukuronian? One of the Color Gang?!
SFX: scary... x2

Kida: Huh?

Kida: Hardly. You're sure as cowardly as always.
Mikado: I thought he might be from that yellow team that hangs around West Gate Park.

Kida: .....

Kida: You don't see those kind around here much, lately. // Loads of people bailed out after a fight.
Kida: Since then, the police are hot on the trails of anyone who wears yellow clothing.

Kida: And stop calling it "West Gate Park". It's "Nishiguchi Park".
{TLN: 'Nishiguchi' is 'west gate' in Japanese.}

Mikado: Then is Ikebukuro safe nowadays?

Kida: I'm not to familiar with it all myself, so I can't say for sure,
Kida: but there are other dangerous things besides gangs and crazy bikers.
Kida: Besides,

Pg.16

Kida: there are a few people amongst the normal crowd that you should avoid at all costs.

Mikado: You mean...
Kida: Ah! Mikado-

Kida: This is 60 Story Street.
SFX: clamor x3
Mikado: Wow, there are so many people here too.

Kida: There's another street called Sunshine Street, which I'll take you to later.

Kida: Seems like you don't have anywhere in particular that you wanna go so...
SFX: grab!

Kida: Let's hit on girls!
Mikado: Ehhh, Kida-kun?!

Kida: Hey, waitwaitwait! Why're you running away?
SFX: step x10
Mikado: Don't ruin our reunion after 4 long years.

Kida: I just thought I'd show you Sunshine Cinema and stuff, since we're on 60 Story Street.
Mikado: But-

Kida: It's odd that I didn't see Simon or Shizuo though.
Kida: I bet Yumasaki-san and Karisawa-san are at the game center.

Pg.17
{top panel stretches across two pages}
Mikado: Who's that?
Kida: Ah~

Yumasaki: Nowhere to be found.
[Yumasaki-san and Karisawa-san are my acquaintances, though they are a bit peculiar.]
Karisawa: That's weird. We searched Ikebukuro and didn't find them, which means-
[And there's another guy named Kadoda.]
Kadoda: There's only one possibility.
Yumasaki/Karisawa: Fuzetsu.
{TLN: Fuzetsu is a field separating a region from time and space.}
Karisawa: (Or else they got kidnapped by a circus.)
Kadoda: Be serious here!
[They're good people, so I'll introduce you next time.]

(Hey dude, you there.)
[I told you there are people you should steer clear of, right? Well Simon and Shizuo are two of those.]
(It's tasty-)
[Simon's pretty mild, but the problem is Heiwajima Shizuo.]
Guy: Over here, Shizuo.
Shizuo: 'kay.
[If you ever come across them, don't hesitate to run away.]

Pg.18

Mikado: (Oh... I see...) Are there still others that I should be wary of?

Kida: Ah, that's right. I guess you're now a resident of Ikebukuro.
Kida: It's better if you know.

Kida: First off, there's me!!
Mikado: √3 points.
SFX: jab

Kida: √ (Root) ?! // What'd you mean by √?! Doesn't even make any sense!
SFX: sigh
SFX: shock!!
Kida: (Hey!! You're trying to turn against me!!)

Kida: Orihara Izaya.

[There's one other person called Orihara Izaya.]
[This guys pretty bad, so you'd better avoid him at all costs.]

Kida: Oh, and there's-

Kida: Dollars.

Pg.19

Mikado: What kind of team is that?!
Kida: Eh?!
SFX: eager
Kida: Well, er...

Kida: I dunno, to be honest.

Kida: But one things for sure, which is that they're many, and that they're a color gang of an unknown color.
Kida: Maybe they've already disbanded though.

Mikado: I see...

[I wonder what I was expecting.]
[I'd thought that the urban city held all the answers.]
[That strange things would come along even for someone like me. ]

[But it'd been a mistake.]

[Unlike Kida-san, I don't know how to draw people in, or amaze them.]

[This kind of place isn't for me.]

Mikado: I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Kida: What're you doing, Mikado! // The light's will turn red!
Mikado: Oh, sorry!

Mikado: I'm-

Mikado: K...K-K-Kida-kun!!
SFX: clap
Kida: You're lucky.

Mikado: Huh?

Kida: You got to see the legend up close on your very first day in Tokyo.

Kida: Maybe this town is welcoming you with open arms.

Mikado: Kida-kun... // That just now...

Orihara: Hahahaha, // I came to see what the big noise was,
Orihara: and what do I find?

Pg.23

Yumasaki: Is it the manifestation of Guze no Ou {the King of the Crimson Denizen}?

Orihara: It's the black bike.

Pg.24

[Tanaka Taro: Hey, guess what?! I saw the infamous black bike today!]
[Setton: Really? Was it around 7 o'clock?]
[Tanaka Taro: Eh? Did you see it too, Setton?]
[Setton: Yeah, sort of. I was there too so.]
[Tanaka Taro: Really?! Wow, then maybe we passed by each other without knowing!]
[Setton: Maybe.]

[-Kanra-san has entered the chatroom-]
[Kanra: Good evening☆ I saw the log. And? What happened with the black bike?]
[Tanaka Taro: Good evening. It was really black! I mean, I kind got goosebumps when I saw it.]
[Setton: That's an over-exaggeration~]
[Tanaka Taro: It was more like a shadow, rather than black.]
[Kanra: You're a scaredy-cat, aren't you, Tanaka Taro-san☆]

Pg.25

[Scared?]

[No... That feeling I got was different.]

[It was the first time something so unusual happened to someone as ordinary as me.]
[Shivers ran through my body when I saw it.]
[That's right, what I felt from the bottom of my heart back there]

[was excitement...]

Nonchan: Yeah...

Sakkun: The end has come.
Nonchan: To fill this intolerable emptiness,

HiroC: That's it...
HiroC: I really just might die on myself...
HiroC: With voice acting, / recording, / radio, / game meetings, / events, / and Chari Projects...
OnoD: Now now, don't bother him.
OnoD: The summer is always the busiest after all. {It can't be helped that you're drained.}
HiroC: ...And the capture of the chubby childhood friend...
sfx: droop...
OnoD: Hey, you still have the energy to make ridiculous remarks...
OnoD: Geez~~~~

Pg.05

OnoD: Even as it is, we've been way too busy to deal with much of 'Hibiki' jobs. / Young ladies across the country would cry if they heard that you were fixated on a girl inside a screen.
HiroC: ...I mean,
HiroC: There are girls our there at are just waiting for me to hit on them! / They come climbing into my lap!! {It can't be helped!}
OnoD: Yeah, inside the game maybe!!
OnoD: I'm just as busy with work too. / We haven't done 'Hibiki' for about a month now...

Suwa: Oh, you're not there? / You guys haven't been coming to 'Hibiki' lately~
Suwa: Anyway, your next commission is to help a girl confess her love.

OnoD: HiroC! Bad news! This message is a week old!!
HiroC: Wha?
OnoD: She might still be waiting for us. / We need to go see her right now!!
sfx: flop
HiroC: Eh? An in-house event? I'm still not that close with her~ {mumble mumble}
(TLN: HiroC is talking about the RPG game)
OnoD: Stop talking nonsense already!!
sfx: (ding dong)
OnoD: Ayase-chan...
OnoD: I hope she's home today...
HiroC: I'm tired...

Ayase: Oh, / it's only HiroC and OnoD...
sfx: stab
sfx: only... only.... only...
Ayase: Ah, sorry!
OnoD: No... It's our fault for coming late... {we're sorry}
Ayase: No, that's not what I meant!!
Ayase: That is... / Today, my boyfriend is coming over for the first time ever...
HiroC: Boyfriend?

Pg.09

HiroC: That means...
HiroC: your confession went well!?
sfx: hehe
OnoD: Wow, that's great news!! / We weren't able to come, but you were able to succeed on your own~!
Ayase: {Ahaha} What are you talking about~?
sfx: (relieved)
HiroC: (thought) ...I see...
Ayase: I was encouraged by "Hibiki"!
- She was able to confess on her own...
[Eh?]
OnoD: {sigh} I'm happy for Ayase-chan.

Pg.10

OnoD: Her troubles have been solved.
HiroC: Mmm...
OnoD: You look displeased about something. / Are you still thinking about what she said earlier?
HiroC: A little...
- "I thought the two of you would be coming, so I was surprised at first."
- "But they were very friendly..."
- "If you see them, please thank them for me."
- "They gave me a push when I lacked confidence,"
- "And for that,"

Pg.11

"I'm very grateful..."
OnoD: I was startled too when she said that~ / It's the first time I heard of other 'Hibiki' members.
OnoD: But we really do have comrades in 'Hibiki', don't we?
OnoD: Makes us seem even more like a secret organization~ Don't you agree, Can?
HiroC: I don't know.
OnoD: Huh?
HiroC: I've never heard of other members in 'Hibiki' before this.
OnoD: Really? / You said before that there were three other members, remember? / In the four-panel manga on pg 59 of top-selling Sylph Comic Vol. 1...
HiroC: That was just rubbish that the author cooked up because he he was in need of a theme for the next volume.
OnoD: Ah....
HiroC: Right now, the only ones working in 'Hibiki', / are me and OnoD.
HiroC: And...

Pg.12

- As always, the Tera-Ikemen Commander-In-Chief~ This time, we're being very generous and showing you his unmasked face.
HiroC: Don't tell me that the Chief hired them directly...? {No way...}
sfx: stretch
OnoD: Anyway, what's important is that Ayase-chan's troubles have been solved. / A lady's smile is our top priority!
- But... it was because we weren't able to to do our 'Hibiki' jobs,
- that the Chief went and did that himself...
HiroC: Y- / Yeah...
HiroC: I guess we'll thank him on our next radio show...
[-However, we were never able to do that.]

Pg.13

[After that, we were both completely preoccupied with voice acting jobs.]
[We didn't even have time to work on 'Hibiki' commissions together.]
[The Chief would leave messages on our answering machine, / and we would take turns rushing to the commissioner when possible.]
OnoD: Hurry, hurry!
Staff: You look good in that!
HiroC: eh...!?
[But,]
[everywhere we went, we were met with the same reply...]

Pg.14

OnoD/HiroC: Huh?
[The same reply as that time we met Ayase.]
- There was no mistaking that someone else existed besides us.
"Hibiki" already solved my problem for me...
- We were slowly beginning to get annoyed with that shadow that we couldn't see.
HiroC: What the heck is it!?

Pg.15

HiroC: Everytime I had off to a job, I get told that "my problem has already been solved"...
OnoD: I didn't even do anything, and they still gave me a pair of bunny ears as a gift~ / Ah, / speaking of bunny ears, someone's been hopping to our commissions before us!? / Ju~st kidding...
OnoD: He won't even snap back?
HiroC: The Chief won't even show his face...
HiroC: The commissions are always by phone...
HiroC: What the hell is going on...?
OnoD: There's no use nagging about it here. That's unlike you, HiroC...
sfx: heave
OnoD: Besides, it's been a while since we've actually gone on a job together. / Let's do our best today!
OnoD: Okay?
HiroC: I guess so...
sfx: sigh...
HiroC: Luckily, this time, we've got an easy commission...
OnoD: Then, wanna head out already?
OnoD: "Cat Searching!"

Pg.16

OnoD: Hmm...
OnoD: Don't see the kitty anywhere~
OnoD: Where are you~
HiroC: ...Hey, OnoD. / isn't this a little to wide a spectrum to be searching in?
OnoD: It can't be helped~
OnoD: The commission said that this was the last place the cat was seen.
HiroC: Well yeah, but...
OnoD: We'll just have to take this one step at a....
sfx: (meow!)
sfx: (jingle)
OnoD: Ah!
OnoD: A cat!!!
HiroC: Is that it?
OnoD: There's no mistaking that scarf!! / Great! / Leave it to me!
sfx: (grab)

sfx: sneak
OnoD: Here kitty kitty~ / Got your favorite stocking for ya~~~

HiroC: OnoDiiiiiiii!!!

OnoD: Hey! / Do go adding weird narrations!!
OnoD: And you ducked your hand for a split second, didn't you!?
sfx: dangle
HiroC: You must be hallucinating.
HiroC: Sorry, sorry. My last job was narration, so it just came out.
OnoD: If you have time for that...couldn't you give me... a hand....? {Or I'll really become a star...!!}
HiroC: Fine, fine.

Pg.19

HiroC: {Geez,} What would you do without me, OnoD~
OnoD: Hurrrrryyyy upppppp

OnoD: HiroCiiiiiiii!!!

OnoD: I-
OnoD: I said, stop putting an end to things...!!!
sfx: slap slap
sfx: dangle
HiroC: That one wasn't me. / If you hadn't noticed, I'm an inch away from death right now.
OnoD Then... Who...
Shoe: Hahaha! How pathetic.

Pg.21

Nonchan: Who would've thought you'd fall for the trap so easily?
Sakkun: Did you think you guys were the only ones that could manipulate cats, OnoD?
[Eh?}
Sakkun: We expected more out of you, HiroC.
[Who are they...!!?]
Sakkun: The end has come.
Sakkun: Everything-

Pg.22

Sakkun: is in The Black Hibiki's power!!
- A black uniform...!!?
Nonchan: Well, actually, / it'd leave a bad after taste if we ended it like that,
Nonchan: so the least we can do is not grind our heels onto your hands. {snicker}
- Wh... Who are these two...?
Sakkun: Why don't you just stay stuck on the walls like a pair of lizards?
sfx: turn

Pg.23

Sakkun: {snicker} See ya!
- 'Black Hibiki', they say....!!!?
OnoD: W... Wait...!!!
OnoD: ....GAH~ / I thought I was gonna die... {we finally reached the office...}
sfx: gasp gasp
HiroC: Forty seconds longer, and I would have been dead too...
sfx: stagger
sfx: gasp gasp
OnoD: But more importantly-

Pg.24

OnoD: Who the heck were those guys back there!? / Why'd they just come out of nowhere!?
sfx: screech
OnoD: They said something about a trap... / So in other words, they were scheming against us, right!?
OnoD: Lately, all of the commissions I've been going to have been solved even before I get there,
OnoD: But it was merely those two getting in the way!! / Those 'Hibiki' frauds!!
HiroC: "Black Hibiki" / ...huh...
- You called?
OnoD: That voice!

Pg.25

OnoD: Black Hibiki!!?
sfx: bam
OnoD: Why are they on the moniter!?
Nonchan: {Aha} You guys are more stubborn than we thought.
sfx: crunch
Nonchan: We expected you to run home with your tail between your legs after going through that. / ...Though you're lizards so I guess you'd cut your tails off instead.
OnoD: {Hey!} What do you two want!?
Sakkun: We have fallen upon this devastated world of chaos for one reason only...

Pg.26

Sakkun: This is thy punishment for thy lamentable dereliction to provide succor for thy ladies that contend with arduous obstacles!!
OnoD: I... I don't get what he just said...
sfx: whisper whisper
HiroC: {Me too...} I think he's directing enemy vibes at us...
Sakkun: Do you remember? / This girl's face.
sfx: buzz
sfx: appear
OnoD: {Eh...Ah...} Ayase-chan!?
HiroC: So you were involved...
Sakkun: Don't misunderstand us.
Sakkun: We, Black Hibiki, went to Ayase,
Sakkun: In order to protect the smile on her face.

Pg.27

Sakkun: In place of you, who are neglecting the tears of girls!
OnoD: {Wh...} When did we ever neglect....
Nonchan: Poor Ayase-chan. / She almost gave up on confessing, you know?
Nonchan: "I need courage, and that's why I asked 'Hibiki' for help."
Nonchan: "But they were too busy to help someone like me... I'll just give up..." / That's what she said.
Nonchan: {snicker} Luckily,
Nonchan: she has no idea that you two hadn't even been aware of the commission in the first place.

Pg.28

Nonchan: Ah~ but I guess it can't be helped, huh? / What with your busy voice acting and event schedules, you hardly have a moment to spare for 'Hibiki'.
sfx: What-
OnoD: Our job is for the sake of ladies too!
Sakkun: {Hmph} We have no intention of listening to you fool's excuses.
sfx: stab
OnoD: Fools!?
Sakkun: Or what? Are you saying that your jobs are great enough that one little trouble of Ayase's hardly measures up?
OnoD: That's not what I...
Sakkun: "No matter the time or place, those of "Hibiki" will work to protect ladies."
Sakkun: It's laughable to call yourselves 'Hibiki' when you can't even manage that basic rule!
Sakkun: Moreover, you, who are useless in the face of a ladie's trouble, / don't deserve to wear that uniform of 'Hibiki'!!
Nonchan: {snicker} Rest assured.
Nonchan: We'll wear it for you. / in place of the two of you, who feel self-righteous and believe that you're helping out ladies.

Pg.29

sfx: grit
OnoD: You have no right to say that, you 'Hibiki' frauds!!
OnoD: And the Chief of 'Hibiki' would never allow that...
OnoD: Hm?
OnoD: That's right, Tera-Ikemen Commander-In-Chief! / What's he doing at a time like this!!??
Suwa: Lookin' good, Black Hibiki-chan.
Suwa: You're looking great on the screen~~~!
sfx: bulge
Suwa: Mm?
Suwa: Oh my, if it's HiroC and OnoD~! / Fufufu, sorry. It looks like I've switched sides♪
OnoD: Wh.... / Wh....
sfx: shake shake
OnoD: Are you crazy!!??
Suwa: See? The Chief has given his conset.
Suwa: So there should be no problem, should there?
OnoD: There's a HUGE problem!!!

Pg.30

OnoD: Stop fooling around...!
HiroC: Shut up.
HiroC: ....First you appear out of nowhere,
HiroC: and then spit out a bunch of rubbish...
HiroC: We don't deserve it? / Hand over our uniforms...?
HiroC: {Ha...} Are you morons?
OnoD: ...HiroC...?
HiroC: We're not taking the work of 'Hibiki' for granted.
HiroC: 'Hibiki' is our precious place... / If you think we're just obediently hand this over, think again!!!

Pg.31

Sakkun: Heh...
Sakkun: {Hahahaha!} Halarious! / Then why don't we add some entertainment here?
sfx: point
Nonchan: One week.
Nonchan: Starting tomorrow, we'll have a competition to see which of us is able to help more ladies in the span of one week.
Nonchan: Of course, the one who wins becomes the rightful members of 'Hibiki'.
Nonchan: If you guys lose, then those uniforms belong to us!

Pg.32

Nonchan: If you don't have confidence in yourselves, then we wouldn't mind you just admitting your defeat now... / So how about it? {snicker snicker}
HiroC: ...Sure, we'll take you on...
HiroC: We'll show you proof,
HiroC: that we are the real 'Hibiki'...!!!
[Who will the title of 'Hibiki' go to!?]

HiroC: Commission request, "to help her school club"...
OnoD: {Woah-} It's been a long time since I've seen a school ground!!
HiroC: Alright then, let's show our spirit and take this first commission on!
OnoD: Energized, are we?
HiroC: Of course.
HiroC: There's no way I'll hand over "Hibiki" to some maniacs.

Tsukasa: I'm so sorry!! Are you okay!? / I lost control when I was kicking against the wall...
Tsukasa: Ah!
HiroC: So you play soccer, Tsukasa?

Pg.05

HiroC: That's a bit unusual for a girl.
Tsukasa: It's actually Futsal. / You don't need as many people as soccer since there's five on a team.
Tsukasa: Our match is in a week.
Tsukasa: But I'm hardly athletic...
OnoD: Ah.
sfx: sit up
OnoD: You demonstrated that well with my body.
HiroC: He's come back.
Tsukasa: Sorry...
HiroC: So that's why you're practicing alone even on the days you don't have club activities.
HiroC: You're working really hard~ {I see a lot of ball marks on the wall.}
Tsukasa: I want our team to win in the next match!
Tsukasa: That's why I want you guys to help me with practice-
OnoD: If it's soccer, leave it to me!

Pg.06

OnoD: In my hometown, / In ancient *Kouchi, I was feared as the wild bonito!!

HiroC: Are you sure they weren't mocking you...?
Tsukasa: Bonito...?
HiroC: (thought) But I guess he's right... / we have OnoD, who used to play soccer when he was little.
HiroC: (thought) This commission will be a piece of cake!
HiroC: Then what should we start with?
Tsukasa: I guess...
Tsukasa: For starters, I'd like to be able to aim my shots...
OnoD: Fear not!
OnoD: Booyah
OnoD: In ancient Kouichi, I was once feared as the **Shinkou Pear!!
HiroC: That's different from what you said a second ago.
OnoD: Right then!
sfx: stomp
TNL: *Kouchi is a prefecture in Japan (OnoD's hometown). / **OnoD is thick, and therefore has misread the name of the pear "Niitaka" as "Shinkou".

OnoD: Look, look HiroC! Don't you think this *uniform design totally rocks? {Make sure you don't fall for me,}
TNL: *5x4 is a brand of deodorant in Japan. OnoD is famous for his ample armpit sweat.
HiroC: Now then... Tsukasa!
Tsukasa: Y-Yes!
HiroC: I'm not too familiar with soccer,
HiroC: but the point is, you want to be able to aim, right?
OnoD: Ah~ it's been so long since I last wore a uniform♡
Tsukasa: I guess so...?

OnoD: Nonono, my ball will cease to exist.
Tsukasa: {mumble} Make sure not to kick the obstacles...
OnoD: Hey, are you listening!?
OnoD: I said...
Tsukasa: Eyes on the ball... pin-point... {mumble}
OnoD: Are you serious!!?
sfx: dash
sfx: bam

Pg.09

sfx: smack
Tsukasa: Woah...
Tsukasa: I shot a goal for the first time...!
OnoD: My dear boy... {Thank god you were safe...}
OnoD: Wahhh...These people are scary...
HiroC: See? It's all a matter of carefully shooting the ball!
Tsukasa: Yes!
OnoD: I'd like to be careful of this ball.
HiroC: Great, / then let's try 100 more shots!
Tsukasa: yes!
Cat: Meow!
OnoD: Wh... / EHHHHH!?
Tsukasa: Oops...
sfx: run run
OnoD: Try not to look down at the ball so much! Weave through the obstacles- / Don't hold the ball for too long- / that's right, a swift pass!

Pg.10

HiroC: Haaaaa
HiroC: I haven't exercised this much in a really long time.
sfx: gasp gasp gasp
OnoD: I know! / Thanks to that, I'm dripping with armpit sweat.
Tsukasa: What? I thought it was a design.
OnoD: Who would make a t-shirt with such a weird design? {Ahaha}
HiroC: {Mm...} Though you have improved a little, / it's still about one goal in every five shots...
sfx: exhale
OnoD: Hey, why'd you join the Futsal team, Tsukasa-chan?
OnoD: If you're not fond of sports much, then I'm sure there are loads of other clubs you could've joined...
Tsukasa: ...I didn't have many friends in Middle School...
Tsukasa: and when I realized it, I was always alone.
Tsukasa: I learned of Futsal when I got into High School...

Pg.11

Tsukasa: My sempai on the field looked sparkly almost, / as if they're having so much fun...
Tsukasa: I thought then, that team play is so awesome!
Tsukasa: I wanted to join that circle.
HiroC: But it's amazing that you were able to do something you weren't fond of!
Tsukasa: ...Well... it was fine until then.
Tsukasa: After that, the third years all left and the club barely has enough members...
Tsukasa: Because of that, someone like me had to become a Regular.
Tsukasa: Everyone tells me that there's nothing to worry about, and that I should just do my best, / but all I'm really doing is dragging everyone down...
Tsukasa: I want to fight with my teammates, and win a match!
HiroC: So you learned what sharing happiness with others is like?
HiroC: Right.
sfx: stand

Pg.12

HiroC: So for the final week before the match, remember what you learned today.
HiroC: Good luck on your self-training!
HiroC: (thought) That's one commission behind us.
HiroC: We have to head to our next commission now...
HiroC: Hey, get your butt of the ground OnoD, we're going!
Tsukasa: ....Eh...
OnoD: Let's rest a little~
Tsukasa: W-Wait!
sfx: grab
Tsukasa: I'm still not good enough yet! At this rate, I'll only be a burden to my team... / Please, I don't mind if it's a little at a time. Can't you stick with me until the match?
Tsukasa: I mean... / there's only a week left!!!
["...One week."]

Pg.13

Flashback
Sakkun: You have one week left.
Sakkun: Cherish your last feast.
Sakkun: Remember, / a week from now,
Sakkun: You will no longer belong here...
HiroC: ...I'm sorry, Tsukasa.
HiroC: We're a busy with a lot of things right now. / Alright...?
Tsukasa: ...But I'm so scared. / There's no way I'll be able to win a match like this...
HiroC: Just like you have a match you can't lose, we have a match we can't lose either.

Pg.14

HiroC: So, we're sorry.
HiroC: You got a hang of it today, didn't you? / The rest depends on your will. If you try hard enough, you'll improve. So try it out.
Tsukasa: Wh...What do you mean, it depends on my will...?
Tsukasa: I've tried my hardest until now...
Tsukasa: And still, I'm not improving. That's why I asked you guys...
Tsukasa: I'll probably lose like this... / in the match, and even against myself...
sfx: startle
HiroC: Wh... / What are you talking about, Tsukasa? If you say that-
HiroC: We'll lose too...
sfx: yank

Pg.15

OnoD: So what if we lose?
HiroC: ...What?
OnoD: What's wrong with us losing to "Black Hibiki"? / I don't care about winning, when there's a girl looking so torn in front of me.
HiroC: (thought) What the heck is he saying?
HiroC: ...Are yo aware of what you're saying, OnoD...?
HiroC: Us losing would mean,
HiroC: the end of "Hibiki" for us... / How is that possible!?
HiroC: And to avoid that, we have to solve as many commissions as possible...
HiroC: We have a time limit...

Pg.16

HiroC: And there's no guarantee that the next commission will be as easy as this one... / that's why we have no time to lose...
OnoD: I don't care about that.
OnoD: Who care's about winning or losing?
OnoD: Sorry to be blunt, but that's really low of you, HiroC. / You don't deserve to wear that uniform right now.
HiroC: .....Nn!!!
sfx: grab
HiroC: Why are you talking like that too....!?

OnoD: Who cares about winning or losing?
OnoD: Sorry to be blunt, but that's really low of you, HiroC.
OnoS: Right now, you don't deserve to wear that uniform.
HiroC: ...Why...
HiroC: Why are you talking like that too...!!??
sfx: GRAB
[OnoD's words are merciless...]

Pg.11

- A cold winter is here!
- Read "DGS" and hustle, hustle!

Pg.12

HiroC: .....Nn-
OnoD: "How heavy a worry is shouldn't be measured by others."
OnoD: "To do our best to put a smile on the girl's face," / "is what Hibiki does".
OnoD: HiroC was the one that said those words to me!
OnoD: (Flashback): - I kind of expected "Hibiki" to do more impressive things.
HiroC: Hmm?
OnoD: I mean-
OnoD: You say this is a secret organization, but all the commissions we get lack the dynamic factor~ / And today...
sfx: Rip
OnoD: I thought we were investigating ghosts, and it turned out we were asked to fix a broken copy machine.
HiroC: OnoD.

Pg.13

HiroC: I've said it many times,
sfx: MEOW
HiroC: Nya-san, wave by yourself!
HiroC: Troubles cannot be measured in size. / And besides, that's not for someone like us to decide.
HiroC: Sorry, sorry.
sfx: flap
HiroC: Even if it might be a worry that sounds ridiculous to others...
sfx: munch munch
HiroC: ...if it fills that person's heart, then it should be considered.
OnoD: (End Flashback) - I know you really do want to help people...
OnoD: The person who taught me what "Hibiki" was, / when I was clueless-
OnoD: -it wasn't any random person...
OnoD: It was you, HiroC.
OnoD: If you throw those morals away,
sfx: touch

Pg.14

OnoD: then that's when
OnoD: we really lose the right to wear these uniforms.
sfx: let go
HiroC: ...How pitiful...
sfx: thump
OnoD: Eh?
HiroC: I'm saying it's pitiful / that now I'm being told those words by a kouhai like you...
- "No matter what the worry may be, we will put forth our effort to help the girl" ...is it?

Pg.15

HiroC: I'm sorry, Tsukasa...
sfx: startle
HiroC: ...I'm sorry I said something so awful, / when you were kind enough to rely on us...
HiroC: It would be wrong of us...
HiroC: Of our "Hibiki",
HiroC: if we were the ones to take away your smile.
HiroC: Thanks... OnoD...

HiroC: For our one and only beloved lady!
HiroC: That is...

HiroC: Tsukasa! We're gonna drill you like mad for the last week - you'd better be prepared! / Er-

HiroC: H-Huh...?
OnoD: Tsukasa-chan!?
Tsukasa: I... I thought you two would break out into a fist fight... and I didn't know what to do...
sfx: flustered / panic
HiroC: We scared you didn't we? I'm sorry! / But it happens all the time! It's okay!
OnoD: What!? It doesn't happen all the time!!!
HiroC: Idiot! Go along with me at a time like this!!

Pg.17

Teammate: Tsukasa!!
sfx: kick

OnoD: Tsukasa-chan's team won!
OnoD: She looks so incredibly happy.
HiroC: *sigh* But we ended up losing.

Pg.18

OnoD: It's not over yet! / There's the chance that "Black Hibiki" wasn't able to help out a single person...
sfx: open
HiroC: I highly doubt that. / It's time, let's go.
OnoD: ...But,
OnoD: I think this was best for us, in the end.
OnoD: This is the result of us not bending our morals!
HiroC: I guess you're right.
HiroC: At least,
HiroC: we were able to protect Tsukasa's smile.
OnoD: Ah~... I wonder if this was our last mission...
OnoD: I wanted to be with Hiro a little longer~
HiroC: I'm relieved I won't have to babysit you anymore.
OnoD: What!? This is the end. You could be a little more 'dere' for me...
HiroC: I thought you said you didn't need 'dere'?

Suwa: The time has come to finish the battle.

BH: But in the end, it was all a farce.
BH: You foolish dwarfs shall writhe in agony.
sfx: tada
BH: Even if thou shalt cover thy ears, the resounding sound of thy grave of death is as good as the bell of dawn that we ring with these hands.
OnoD: What's with those words and that pose...
OnoD: Like I said, I have no idea what you mean.
Suwa: Now, I will announce the results.
Suwa: The winners will continue on as "Hibiki", / understood?

Pg.21

Suwa: The number of commissions solved by "Black Hibiki" is- / four. Four ladies.
sfx: clench...
Suwa: And the number of commissions that "Hibiki" solved was...
Suwa: ...One.
sfx: tap
Suwa: The winner is-
Suwa: HiroC and OnoD's "Hibiki".
HiroC: Wh... eh? Why?
OnoD: It's about as bizarre as how bizarre our different guesses were!!
OnoD: How can that be!? No matter how you look at it, the difference is obvious...
Suwa: Just listen.

Pg.22

Suwa: Indeed, the number of commissions you solved was one...
sfx: fluff
Suwa: However,
Suwa: But did you really only help one soul in the process?
sfx: Meow
HiroC: An!?
HiroC: What are you carrying...
sfx: rustle
HiroC: It's an email that was sent to the organization.
sfx: realize

The email:
Subject: This is Tsukasa.
Dear HiroC & OnoD,
We finished our soccer match today!
It was our first victory!
It's all thanks to the both of you!
Thank so very much!
I wanted to thank you directly in person, but I didn't see you guys after the match, so I'm sending this email instead.
I have photos of the match, so I'll send them too!
These are my precious teammates! Five members on the team

Suwa: Didn't I say it at the beginning?

Pg.23

Suwa: "The one to help the most number of ladies is the winner".
Suwa: There are times, / when just one person's smile can make a whole chain of people happy.
sfx: jump
HiroC: Huh...?
BH: It may be true that "Hibiki" can only help out one person at a time,
BH: but that doesn't necessarily mean, / that you can only help one person.
HiroC: Eh...?

Pg.24

BH: If you bring one lady a smile, and she's able to share it with others around her, / then someday, the whole world will echo with smiles.
BH: That is why you must always focus on one person, from the bottom of your heart. / You cannot take one person for granted
sfx: lift
BH: That is our, and...
BH: Your "Hibiki"!!!

Pg.25

- OnoD is in complete confusion!
BH: Dammit! / And here I was, thinking we could actually take over "Hibiki".
sfx: droop
BH: It's no use. A challenge is a challenge. Let us losers make a graceful exit.
OnoD: Um...
OnoD: You've lost me for quite a while now... / Who the heck are you guys...?
BH: Mm? Ah, right. We never introduced ourselves properly. / We are-
BH: The previous members of "Hibiki".
[Wh-]
WHATTTTTT!!!?

Pg.26

sfx: blank stares
HiroC: Then that makes the two of you... / our sempai...!?
HiroC: Why did it end up like this...
OnoD: Hey!!
OnoD: Explain, pervert!!
OnoD: It's all your doing anyway, right!!?
Suwa: Ngh
BH: You're wrong to blame the Commander in Chief, OnoD.
OnoD: What do you...
BH: The answer is within yourselves.
BH: We acted upon our own will.
BH: We did it in order to save our little kouhai from forgetting the whole purpose of "Hibiki".
BH: Well, even though it was for entertainment, it was fun!
BH: We even got to work as "Hibiki" again.
BH: We're still in great shape to do this stuff♪ *snicker*
OnoD: By 'previous members of "Hibiki"'...
sfx: Ah!
OnoD: Could it be that you two are... voice actors!?

Pg.27

Suwa: No. / the fact that you two are voice actors is a complete coincidence this time around.
sfx: appear
OnoD: Eeek!
OnoD: Geez, you scared me!!
Suwa: In "Hibiki", members are chosen by how much their occupation is able to help the ladies at the given time.
OnoD: Eh, really!?
HiroC: Then they're...
BH: You'll find out who we are someday.
sfx: jump
BH: The two of you,
BH: we know you're busy, but you'd better not slack off.
BH: Keep in mind that the one lady who you're helping is connected to ladies all around the world.

Pg.28

BH: ...That uniform.
BH: Don't misuse it.
BH: Don't you dare forget what "Hibiki" is shouldering... and how important it is!
BH: Adieu!
sfx: Wahaha...!
sfx: jump
OnoD: Ah, wait...!! / I still have things to ask you....
OnoD: ...Geez.
OnoD: They have their say and then take off...
OnoD: I didn't get them until the very end....
- The purpose of the uniform...
OnoD: Haaa... / A lot of things sure happened these past few weeks~

Pg.29

sfx: stretch
OnoD: We were thrown around by those two, / and we were nearly kicked off of "Hibiki"... / I was totally depressed just a second ago, you know?
HiroC: ...Sorry. / If only I'd kept a level head.
HiroC: It was probably because I felt in debt,
HiroC: after what happened with Ayase-chan and all...
HiroC: That smile, / we weren't able to give it to her.
HiroC: I was probably a little desperate... I'm really sorry.
OnoD: ...All's well that ends well, or something like that, right?
OnoD: And besides, I had fun.
OnoD: I was able to see a lot of HiroC's expressions~!
sfx: jab jab
OnoD: Even super sadists can look like that when they're cornered! Heh heh.

Pg.30

OnoD: HiroC,
OnoD: let's go home.
OnoD: To our place!
HiroC: (thought) - It'll be alright. I won't make mistakes, because I'm not alone.
HiroC: Yeah.
[A few days later.]
OnoD: Hi-
OnoD: Hi-Hi-HiroC!!!!

Pg.31

sfx: gasp gasp
OnoD: This is no time to be playing dead!!
HiroC: Uuuu~~~ you're too loud, OnoD~~~~ let me sleep!!!
OnoD: Take a look at this!!
sfx: toss
HiroC: Nnn~?
sfx: flip
HiroC: Whaaat?
HiroC: Are you finally on the newspaper or something....
HiroC: EH...
HiroC: EHHHHHHH!!!?
Newspaper: Black Rose Capsule's National Tour Starts!!!

Pg.32

OnoD: Those two were members of a Visual Kei band! / No wonder they looked and talked like that...
sfx: shocked
HiroC: So this is what they meant when they said we'd find out soon enough...
HiroC: Woah, national tour, it says!
OnoD: If you think about it, it means that when these two were on duty,
OnoD: they were juggling both music and "Hibiki" jobs too, right? / That's crazy...
OnoD: We need to work harder / to value our work in "Hibiki" too.
HiroC: We can't lose, / ...yeah...
sfx: ding-dong
OnoD: Oh?
OnoD: A commissioner right off the bat?

Pg.33

OnoD: A mountain of boxes...!!
HiroC: Hn?
HiroC, OnoD.
HiroC: It's a memo...
sfx: rustle

Pg.34

OnoD: ? / What is it?
OnoD: Hm, lemme see... "Dear HiroC and OnoD, we threw darts to decide how many concert goods to make, and we ended up ordering way too many☆"
sfx: quiver quiver
OnoD: "As sempai, we order you to sell off these candies and t-shirts! Good luck! Sincerely, your Black Sempai, aka Sak-kun and Non-chan♡"

[What does Sebastian make of Georg's mysterious death?]
- H...
- He's dead...!

- Why?!

- Impossible...

Pg.03

- What was that just now?! // Woah!!

- D-Did this person die?!
- Yes...

- The wound in his chest is probably the cause.
- Though I can't be sure in this dim lighting.
- (Hey,) is it just me, or is this room hot?
- I would say it is.

- This room was already heated,
- but it seems that it wasn't warm enough.

- What's all this commotion about?
- Young Master.

Pg.04

- Lord Siemens...!

- A...
- Anyway, we shouldn't move anything until the yards arrive.
- No, // we need to move the body immediately.
- Eh?

- Hate to put it this way, but the substance of meat is a lot more delicate than you'd think.
- Even if we extinguish the fire, the heat'll damage the body before you know it.

Pg.05

- D-Damage...?
SFX: wobble
- Irene!

- It's just as he says.
- I think it's better we keep the body refrigerated until the investigators come.

- Then let us move the body to the underground cell until the yards arrive.
(Yes!)
- Finny, the stretcher.

- I doubt the yards will be here anytime soon though.

- Not in this storm.
SFX: rain

Pg.06

- Does that mean we're stuck in here too?!
- It's a little late to say that now.

- Besides, there's no problem, is there? You intended to stay overnight, after all.
(snap)
- There is indeed a problem! I'm not staying in this murder house-

- Yes.
- This place is like a deserted island.

- Which also means that there's a good chance the murderer is still in this mansion.

SFX: whispering
- Rather-

Pg.07

- If you think about it logically, wouldn't the culprit be amongst us?

- Wha...

Pg.08

- Why us?! You're out of your mind!
SFX: rage
- (H-) He's right!

- And most of us have never even met each other before this.
- Ah!!

- Dias-sama?

- When we came before this door, wasn't it locked?
- Yes, you're right. It was.

- Then wouldn't that mean that someone entered through the window, locked the door in order to buy time to escape, and then went back out the window?

Pg.09

- But if they came through the window, wouldn't they have left footprints? // Not to mention that this is the second floor.
SFX: clack x2
- It's even locked.

- Then the only other explanation would be that they locked the doors from the outside and escaped.
- That is impossible.

- All the doors still have the ward locks from when this mansion was first built. // The locks are very complicated, and therefore can only be reproduced by a skilled craftsman.
- Those keys are stored in a safe, secured by a second key that has no brother, and which I, the butler, keep in my possession.

Pg.10

- And apart from the ward lock that can easily be opened from the inside, there is another latch.

- Without the key, the only way to unlock this door is from the inside only.
- In other words,

- this is a locked-room murder.

Pg.11

- What nonsense! This isn't some sort of mystery novel!
- Indeed.

- If an artless locked-room murder case such as this were announced to the public, there's no doubt we would get many complaints.
SFX: yawn...

- What?

- Don't you agree, Doctor?
- Eh...
- Ah!!

- Certainly... If they had used those items, it might be possible...
- What do you mean?
- Needle and thread.

Pg.12

- Needle...
- and thread?

- As Sebastian said, this door can only be unlocked from the inside, but with the use of a needle and thread, it would be an easy feat.
- It would be like this:

- First, you would take the threaded needle and stick it into the door so that the latch is fixed in place.

- Then, you would pull the thread underneath the door and close it from the outside.

- All that's left would be to carefully pull the thread so it doesn't snap, and remove the needle from the door.

Pg.13

- The latch would fall and the door would be lock!

- And once you collected the thread and needle entirely, you would eliminate all evidence. // Getting rid of a needle and thread would be quite easy.

- It's a boring trick that has been overused in mystery novels.
- However, the culprit isn't trying to write a mystery novel. Covering one's tracks in reality is hardly puzzling.

- That does explain the locked-room murder, but...
- that also means that anyone could have committed the murder, doesn't it?

Pg.14

- We've got nothing to do with this! It has to be someone else!!
- Count me out as well!!

- Besides, wouldn't you be the most suspicious amongst us?! // You were quarreling with Lord Siemens at dinner!

- Stop falsely accusing people!
- I would never kill anyone over something like that!!

- You're the one who-
- Now, now, you two.
- Calm yourselves. Let us review everyone's alibis first.

- Lord Siemens was murdered after returning to this room. // And if we narrow it down even further, it would be between the time he rang the bell, to when the butler arrived before the door.
- Those that have alibis during that time span should be innocent.

Pg.15

- Irene and I were in the billiard room.
- Yes.

- I was there too.

- So was I, and Phelps too.
SFX: Nn...

- We were all in the billiard room from when Lord Siemens retreated to his room, to when the we heard the commotion in this room.
- No one left their places either.

- What were you lot doing?
- Hm?

- We were having a drink in the lounge with Sir Woodley.
- Isn't that right, Ran Mao?

Pg.16

- Ah yes, we were together until the commotion began.

- As I recall, it was a little past midnight that we ran out of drinks and had the butler retrieve some more.
- Yes, I returned at 10 minutes past 12.

- W-We servants were busy cleaning up!

- None of us even knew what room Lord Siemens was staying in!
- It would take a great amount of time just finding the right room!!

- Which means...

Pg.17

- Pardon me, Earl, but what were you doing at the time?
- ...!

Pg.18

- It's true that I may be the only one without an alibi, but I have no reason to kill Lord Siemens.
- Eh~? Are you sure?

- ....What?

- He's right. You may very well have a reason.

- Reasons for murder are usually things that one would never even imagine.
- Human psychology is something that still remains a mystery to this day, no matter how a brilliant scientist may study it.

Pg.19

- Didn't your company have a branch in Germany? // You might have had a disagreement with him, as he was an official who worked in a government bank in that country.
- Though it is something we would have no way of finding out.

- Are you insinuating that we have some unlawful debt?
- That's ridiculous!

- It's not unfathomable. // After all, this is the generation where a large company can disappear overnight.
- W-

- Wait, please! I don't know all the complicated details,
- but // there's no way that the young master would ever do something like-
- Finny!

Pg.20

- That's enough. // Be silent.

- I'd like some insurance.
- Insurance?

- Insurance that we'll be able to get out of here alive.

- What... // do you mean by that?

- This mansion is under the control of a murderer,
- and until the storm subdues, we're stuck here.

Pg.21

SFX: flash
- What if he decides to silence us before the storm is over?

SFX: frantic whispers
- Then, how about this?

- How about we confine him?
SFX: Okay?
- Confine him!

- Confine him?!
- Young Master?!
- It's scary, after all.

- If that will satisfy you, have it your way.

Pg.22

- If we do confine him, it can't be his room.
- There are always hidden passageways built into the rooms of Noblemen. (I've got one at my house too.)

- Then why don't the servants and I watch over him?
- That won't work either.

- You might help the Earl escape.

- Then the best method would be to have someone stay overnight and watch over him.
- I won't do it! I could never leave Irene alone!!

Pg.23

- N-Neither will I!!
SFX: nod x2
(Scary...)
- I would rather not either.

- Neither would I, but someone has to.

[Looking at the situation, he's the only possible suspect here... but...]
[would he really have committed such an act, knowing that he would be the only one without an alibi? Somehow, I doubt he would be so careless.]

[If he were the culprit,]
[would he have explained the cheap trick when it would only put him at a disadvantage?]

- So that just leaves...
(Hm...)

Pg.24

- you, Doctor!
SFX: clap
- Wh- // Ehh?!

- Make sure you guard him well so that he doesn't escape.
- Wh... Why me??

- That's right. // I've got something useful in my carriage.

- You there, will you retrieve it for me?

- Then it's time we call it a night.
- Sebastian,

- show the guests to their rooms.
- Understood.

- Now then, I will show you to your rooms. // Please follow me.

Pg.25

SFX: rain...
[Who would have thought...]
- Honestly. // What a troublesome turn of events.
[...that it would turn out this way?]
- Indeed.

[The chain is long, so he won't be able to escape if you pass it underneath the bed.]

- Ha...

- By the way, Sir Phelps' was originally set to stay in the room next the room in question, but he rather adamantly refused.
SFX: Not there!!!

- I'm sure it must be difficult to sleep, being next to a murderer.
- N-No...

- Er...

- Earl, do you keep your eye patch on even while you sleep?
- Huh? // Ah, yes.

- It might not be any of my business, but I do recommend that you allow your eye some air.
SFX: creak
- That way, it will heal faster-
SFX: reach

SFX: shove

Pg. 30

KIMI NI TODOKE
Episode 34

Page001
[Text Right] I felt their presence. And for a split second, I felt as if time had stopped.

Page002
Miura: I'm happy for you, / Sadako-chan. // You're completely one of the class now!

[Summary & Main Cast]
- Kazetani Shouta→
- ←Kuronuma Sawako 16 years old, High School Sophmore
[Sawako Text] Nicknamed Sadako. People fear her to have a sixth sense because of her super gloomy looks. However, her motto is "One good deed a day". Has a crush on Kazehaya.
[Kazehaya Text] Is popular in his class for his refreshing demeanor and his kindness to all his classmates. Can't help but be particularly aware of Sawako.
☆ This is Sawako. I wasn't able to communicate with my classmates, but ever since the seat change put Kazehaya-kun next to me, my world has changed for the better. ☆ Right now, Kazehaya-kun is "Someone I like". I keep hoping for "more", but wasn't even able to hand him my chocolate. ☆ I have become a Sophmore. I am currently sitting next to the very outgoing Miura-kun. ☆ I am very happy that I'm in the same class as Kazetani-kun. ☆ After school, Kazehaya said to me "I'd assumed that I was the closest guy to you in the class... but was that just wishful thinking?". Even though he is the closet to me, I couldn't say because it would hold a special meaning. ☆ With the mid-term tests coming up, Miura-kun suggested that I hold a study period! Kazehaya-kun came too. ☆ And afterwards, Kazehaya-kun said to me "You don't have to trouble yourself with what I said the other day... just forget it." I keep thinking of all the things I should have said. ☆ Seeing that I haven't been able to talk much with Kazehaya-kun lately, Ayane-chan told me that if I wanted things to change, I had to make the change happen. I guess I'm not the only one that's scared. ☆ I feel that the distance between between me and Kazehaya-kun has grown bigger than before. When I was watering the flowerbed, Miura-kun started talking to me...

Page003
Sawako: ...One of the class!? // [thought] Me!?
- Flashbacks
Sawako: [thought] .... This is....!! // The.... // thing I've been dreaming about...!!
- To be one of the class...!!
Miura: Haha / What, you just realized that now? / You don't have to think of yourself as the "oddball of the class" anymore.

Page004
Miura: You're doing great, even without Kazehaya's help!
SFX: Start
Miura: ..... / Aren't you happy? // Did you want to continue to be the oddball and have Kazehaya look after you?

Page005
Sawako: ....No...... // [thought] - It was always my goal, // It was always my dream, // Always // To be one of the class. // - But.
[Flashbacks] "Kuronuma!" // "Kuronuma!!"

Page006
- "Kazehaya" can't leave oddballs alone!
[thought] He always // talked to me so naturally, // .... that I had forgotten the most important things.....
- "And you're so easily cared for by Kazehaya-kun just because you're gloomy!"
Sawako: ...... / That's only because I'm gloomy....
Miura: Ah- / I guess that's true-!
SFX: Stab
Sawako: [thought] I'm happy, but shocked at the same time.

Page007
Sawako: [though] And I'm supposed to have been idolizing that part of Kazehaya-kun.
Miura: It's not a surprise that you misunderstood things. // Considering you were treated in such a way by Kazehaya.
Sawako: [thought] What!? / He saw right through!! / My thoughts!!
SFX: UWAAA~!! // He's an Esper! My instructor!! // Ahhhhh...
Miura: I'm sure Kazehaya didn't mean any harm. // But I have to say it was a bit insensitive of him.
Sawako: N- / Not at all!!

Page008
Sawako: Kazehaya-kun is equal to everyone! / He's so bright! / And refreshing!! // He even greeted me with a smile everyday! // ...When I talked about my feelings, / He believed me... // ...That's why.... / Kazehaya-kun was the first person that ever made the wall disappear...
Sawako: [thought] That's right. // That's why I ended up liking him. // But still, // I // Can't seem to be satisfied with just that, anymore.

Page009
Sawako: [thought] So much that, // I can't believe myself.
Sawako: It was me that... / ...misunderstood things....
Miura: You knew it was a misunderstanding...?
SFX: STAB
Sawako: Ah, please no more!! / If I say anymore, I'm just going to sadden myself!!
Sawako: [outside box] Please forgive me!!
Miura: I see-
[out of bubble] Well, I knew I'd eventually have to set things straight...
Miura: ....Poor her. / You're a cruel man, Kazehaya. // ...You know!
[out of bubble] Standing up for him so earnestly...
Miura: Don't you think it really would be better not to get close to Kazehaya anymore?

Page010
Sawako: ........ / Huh!?
Miura: Don't you think that'd be best for both of you?
Sawako: B-but I was told the opposite by Ayane-chan... / What... for the both of us?
Miura: Yeah, for the both of you! // Sadako-chan needs to be able to stand on your own two feet and enjoy adolescence! // And Kazehaya's fulfilled his role so he's freed as well! // Sadako-chan.
SFX: Um, um...

Page011
Miura: Kazehaya, / has someone he likes, you know. // I wasn't sure if I should tell you but... // You shouldn't have to be troubled by Kazehaya anymore.
[back text] - "I have been,"

Page012
[back text] "Long since been turned down anyway."
Kurumi: I don't want to cause trouble for Kazehaya. // That's why I need to like, just start over from zero! / I'll find a new love and everything!

Miura: I didn't intend to make you cry~! / There's gotta be someone more suited for you, Sadako-chan...
Sawako: Ngh.

Page014
Sawako: AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH......
Miura: It's- / It's alright! // Here now, smile your pretty smile!! // You can do it! You're not bad at all!!
SFX: drip drip
[back text] ... the tears won't stop. // "You just have to do something about it yourself, Sawako."
[box] ...Ayane-chan... / Maybe it is impossible for me.
[back text] "I don't wanna cause trouble."
[box] ...I... all this time... / I've been relying on Kazehaya-kun too much.

Page015
[box] The time really has come. // I had been trying not to face the facts.

SFX: pat pat / Right!!
