To be Read from Right to Left

076
V1: There was a time when four evil gods
V2: and eight million spirits existed in this country
V3: However, since the two mountains sank and the evil spirits living there ran to other countries,
V4: the 8 million spirits went missing too. This county was then protected and supported by great people.
V5: In a country of no legends, for the sake of bringing back those missing spirits, a post was created
V6: With a special step and chanting a sutra called “shyou”
V7: it was like dancing steps.
V8: To store spirits, they use a string of rosary beads called “Sai”
V9: which had a dramatic effect.

077
V1: Thus, people called these group “Kashi” *
*translation of the actual kanji would be songster
b1: listen well, Ichiyo
these steps along with Shyouka combine to form Toutouka
b2: commit it into memory.
b3: remember all these, no matter how much,
then whatever spirit you shall encounter, you can turn it into yours
b3: become a Kashi
b4: Become a Kashi and bring back Shikyou to this country

078
b1+2: And then, using your strength, release Hakugou from being this country’s slave

079
SFX1: zawa zawa
b1: Ichiyo! here! here!
b2: where did you go? if you were going to come down here, you could at least have said beforehand
SFX2: haa
b3: What Rakan? what business do you need me for
SFX3: Ga-n
b4: you! what treatment is this after you have eaten! you are the one who came looking for me
b5:joking, joking
b6: your eyes are saying that you are serious, you jerk
b7: tte
SFX4: haa

080
b1: AAAAA
SFX1: haa
b2: when was Kaka here?
SFX2: mishi
b3: ni!
b4: oi! that pervert there!
b5: idiot! you are wrong! don't say things that will damage my reputation!
b6: I don't have that sort of interests
SFX4:hora
b7;Kaka-chan is from the “Syoushi” race right?
b8: that is rare
b9: that is why my spirit as a trainer is unconciously starting to burn
SFX5: Do-n Gya
b10: Ichiyo!
b11: you, for Kaka’s training, what aim have you set?

081
b1: …
SFX1: aim?
b2: no plans at all!!!
b3: You really are something! Syoushis are a middle class rare species! They are much sought after as superior playthings!
the syoushis I generally know of are in the form of beautiful and smart fairies
b4: after training, she (or he?) can become a good opponent at chess and someone good at chatting
b5: but
SFX2: chara
SFX3: gashi gashi
b6: but why does she look so ugly
b7: irritating
SFX4: pee
b8: haa anyway is fine, anyway is fine

082
b1: Oi Ichiyo! You probably don't get the importance of training!
no matter how many or how good the beasts and gods you bring back
there is no point if you don't train properly
SFX1: Yatsu
b2: yosh this is a good chance
I will let you see the power of training
SFX2: hahahaha
b3: come with me!
SFX3: wahaha
SFX4: batabatabata
b4: Ahhh!!!
SFX5: iine------
SFX6: let go
SFX7: zawa zawa zawa
SFX8: eehh
b5: …
SFX9: kyoton
SFX10: this is the first floor of the meeting place
SFX11: eh?
SFX12: kyoro kyoro
SFX13: oi! the two, masterrr, kakaaa, oi
SFX14: hiso hiso
SFX15: lost kid? lost kid?
SFX16: Kaka!!! Pigyaaaaa Master!!!

083
SFX1: Gatsu
b1: FUUN!!
SFX2: Gwaa
SFX3: Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu
SFX4: Pakya
SFX5: Para Para
SFX6: OOO

084
b1: Oi, Gyuuki (cow ghost)
b2: thanks for your hard work
b3: seems like your work is going well
b4: Ah Rakan waai
what has happened? what has happened?
b5: Yes, I wanted to show them your work
b6: How is this Ichiyo
This is the guy that I trained recently, Gyuuki
b7: for now this guy is also part of a species that is catergorised as middle class gods
cause it was requested that he be of agricultural use, I developed him as a worker, focusing on his physical strength
v1: originally, normal animals can’t really change. these guys are grown by trainers with a purpose in mind. they understand their job and can remember words developing them into good partners to humans
b8: no matter the strength of the god, the process is the same

085
b1: in other words, even though they are the same species, but because of the trainer, there is a big difference in terms of form, character and abilities
b2: see Gyuuki here. good tempered muscleman he is
fabulous worker who doesn't complain
SFX1: jii
SFX2: Gookun
SFX3: shyaa
SFX4: He is salivating
b3: a real good kid
SFX4: what does that mean?
b4: w-well well
b5: he can really perfect the job right? Gyuuki
b6: ? yup
b7: look at what I do
b8: this is a rock
b9: smash this a bit more
into sand

086
SFX1: bocoo
SFX2: docoo
b1: oo magnificant, magnificant
he smashed up such a big rock in seconds. so how, Ichiyo
SFX3: pachi pachi pachi
b2: he- he- great
SFX4: dropping dropping
b3: so showy for such a straightforward job
b4: maa, but it is important
this country basically only has rocks
it is to make space for agriculture
b5: long time ago when there was the 8 million gods, here had flowers and greenery and plently of food
but since that disappeared, the land started to fail
the soil dried up and form rocks
b6: and thus became this barren land they say

087
b1: what he is doing
turning the rocks into sand then sprinkling water over to use as soil
b2: then those earth spirits brought back by Kashis are then made to stay here
b3: that way this land can be used for farming
b4: that way we can also get food supplies
b5: but it is not definite that with the earth spirits the land would flourish
b6: that is why there are all kinds of Kashis
b7: I respect you for that
b8: if you brought back even one earth spirit, you too would be respected
b9: done
b10: next is to bury water and this earth spirit
b11: the soil will become healthy
b12: wait hold on a minute Gyuuki
b13: n?

088
b1: isn’t this earth spirit still very young?
b2: eh? n?
b3: then wont this barren land be too harsh on it?
b4: such a wide piece of barren land would have at least need 3-4 insects
SFX1: probably teaching?
b5: n n? n n
b6: but master said this was okay
b7: heh?
b8: your master’s kashi?
b9: yup, because master only caught this so he said it was enough
b10: oi oi just like that wouldn't get you any produce
is it intended for this land to be sold to a farmer?
b11: oi Gyuuki!! have you finished your job!?
SFX2: zaa
b12: who are are talking and slacking with!

089
b1: a Bui
b2: Master
b3: what isnt this Rakan?
what are you here for?
b4: ya just seeing Gyuuki’s job? so how the condition?
b5: heh this labourer is awful
b6: oi you conman
SFX1: gyou
b7: what you jerk
b8: this earth spirit, it will be useless right
SFX2: ugo ugo
SFX3: giikuun
b9: just burying one and planning to sell this as farm land is very much what a conman does
b10: …
b11: !?
b12: even if you cant catch more at least buy from others
b13: buy?
if I had the money I would too

090
b1: Bui… you gambled again?
SFX1: gikugikugikun
b2: huhh?
you jerk, because of that you even borrowed money
SFX2: haa
b3: threatened by the gangsters?
b4: you get your just desserts, idiot!
SFX3: goo
b5: I will report all these to the officials, so you better work hard or you might not be able to sell this land
SFX4: furu gugu furu
b6: …!!
SFX5: goo
b7: this stupid cow! why were you working when there are others here!!
b8: now you are going to cause my repayment agreement to foil!
b9: s-sorry
b10: s-stop! oi!! Bui!! don't hit Gyuuki!
b11: I am disappointed of your rash reaction
b12: jerk
from just now I’ve wanted to ask
b13: what do you want to do! even if you are in the same line as me, it is none of your business

091
b1: !
SFX1: ha ha!! ( sounds of recollection, not laughing)
b2: what it is you
b3: Mr “most useless Kashi in history”?
b4: isnt this Ichiyo?
b5: right? I’ve heard rumours of you
b6: though a Kashi but you have brought back 0 earth spirits
miraculously, you have two middle class gods under you, but lack training
b7: you don't have the right to criticize anyone
b8: you are famous for not having gone to the training institute, but became a Kashi thanks to Ran-sama
b9: how did someone with your abilities get chosen by Ran-sama?
b10: what cheap tricks did you play behind?
teach them to me

092
b1:yo
SFX1: mishi
SFX2: shya—kuwaa
SFX3: kick
gya gya gya
kick
b2: yosh go for it Kaka! kill him!
SFX4: kaa

b5: chh Kaka if you are going to attack, you have to attack the vital spots
SFX6: ha ha ha (probably panting)
b6: hey over there
b7: fu fu Syoushi?
such a useless guy has such a rare thing?
SFX7: Ki-jita jita
b8: such a treasure is wasted on this fellow
b9: you don't even know how to properly put it to use

093
b1: KAA * growling sound*
b2: he!
b3: don't stir up trouble, idiot
b4: it is bad to attack people’s weaknesses
b5: you know that
SFX1: forcefully push him away

it is no joke if it gets spoiled or lost
do you desperately want the souvenir from Bui?
b6: how is it possible
b7: this sort of thing
b8: heh?

098
b1: what

SFX1: poii

099
b1: how is your work going along?
b2: Master
b3: Look here

b4: !but how did you get this?
b5: You are so noisy!
I borrowed money to buy it
b6: though profits will be cut, at least I will be able to sell this piece of land and earn something
b7: that bastard. I had so much trouble to pay up my debts and just at this good time he comes and creates trouble
SFX1: ira ira
b8: he makes my blood boil
SFX2: wa big!

044
b1: They have returned…
b2: Hmm?
b3: Sensei.
b4: It seems like they have returned,
b5: Is that so?

045
SFX1: Fwaa
SFX2: Pichisan (Sound of wind blowing)
SFX3: Kan x3 (Birds squawking)
SFX4: Yawn.
SFX5: Splash
b1: Oh,
b2: Who has come in?
b3: Has come in.

046
SFX1: Splash
b1: Ah, thanks for the hard work, the guards of the water gate group
b2: Yo, isnt this Tenko?
b3: It is Tenko.
b4: That means that Ichiyo is here too right?
b5: Where?
b6: Ah, if it is master,
b7: He is there.

047
SFX1: Pukaa
b1: EEEEEE
b2: Awawawawa. I let go halfway during the journey
SFX1: Hawaaaaaaaaaa
b3: Ah, because Ichiyo cant swim
b4: He died?
b5: Gya. If you were going to die, inform me then die
Brace yourself master master
Pfu
Master, your face looks weird
b6: That guy is too much
b7: Indeed
b8: Wake up
SFX2: Patatatata
b9: Master
b10: If he is dead, can I bite him?
b11: Give me an arm
b12: No way!
b13: If it is like this,
b14: There is one last way

048
b1: Artificial…
SFX1: *float up*
SFX2: ha
b1: What am I doing?
b2: He is still alive
SFX3: Tch
b3: He is still alive
b4: Ahh, arent these the guards, ah?
b5: Are you okay, Ichiyo?
b6: Give me an arm Ichiyo
b7: HUH?
b8: Master, you good for nothing
SFX3: u u u u (crying sound)
SFX4: kushyu (sound of sniffing)
SFX5: Ah?
b9: Be careful or I will bash you up jerk
B1: Already done that

049
b1: Mainly, it is because master cant swim that cause it.
b2: You ignore your own mistakes and blame it on others \
(you shelve your mistakes, too often and it… )
b3: If master knew how to swim, this inident wouldn't have happened
b4: is that so? Then just take it as that
b5: if I knew how to swim, then the rain would stop falling,
b6: and the setting sun would change from red to blue?
b7: huh? That is impossible. Master is an idiot, ne?
SFX1: Poee
B8: …

050
b1: Jerk, go sink to the bottom of the sea of clouds
b2: that is why
SFX1: BA
b3: that country has nothing

051
b1: Since ancient times, gods from other countries have lived there and have fused into the culture
b2: thus, it is impossible there is none
b3: That is why any shinto shrine
b4: Did you go to izumo?
b5: huh?
b6: izumo! It is kannaduki* there now. (*kannaduki=month of no ghost)
b7: kannaduki?
b8: yes. All the gods head towards izumo during this time
b9: this is the most basic of basic information
b10: thus, a lot of those kind head towards there
b11: All the gods from different places are gathered at one
That is why this job is easier
b12: the person who just came back
In fact brought back 34 earth spirits
But it is not gods, thus it is reasonable to bring back that many

052
b1: well, you should put the rosary beads to use.
b2: the small one can fit 100
b3: the larger one, 1000
b4: …
b5: …
b6: …
b7: Yes, next please

053
b1: So you came back empty handed
b2: Because your income is zero, you came to me
b3: Ah
b4: Thanks for helping us everytime
Rakan-san
b5: Ah, un, don't need to thank, just watch what you are doing
b6: Ah, but you are really bad
You should have checked before doing your job
b7: It is a must-do for a kashikan
b8: Shut up
b9: No way. Master cant understand such a hard thing
b10: You are the only one who has no right to speak
b11: Hii*
b12: I really have to hand it to you…

054
b1: I am not your interest free bank you know
b2: I am at the least a trainer
b3: there will be a day that you come and find me to train you
b4: for that sort of thing
b5: I wont ask for your help
b6: Huh?
Why?
b7: I am proficient in that area
b8: it is not that kind of problem
b9: you are going to do it yourself again?
Oioi, what are you going to do if you end up like Tenkou
b10: fueh?

055
b1: You trained Tenkou yourself right?
From now on, can I retrain him for you?
b2: it is okay! I am already a very good child
Compared to me, master needs the retraining more
b3: master’s character is horrible. He needs to be retrained all the basics
b4: Tenkou, you jerk
b5: Agreed. It does seem like that.
b6: ah?
b7: well, the job of a kashikan
Is “bring back the gods that have gone to other countries”
b8:　but that is rarely possible, thus the current situation is
That many earth spirits and other spirits are collected and brought back

056
b1: Kashikans use their rosary beads to contain and control them
They differ from those called gods and are more like beasts
b2: thus, developing relationships among the different classes
b3: depending on their species, their character and degree of loyalty probably differ. But what is done makes him fear his master and follow his absolute orders.
b4: if the master said “go die”
b5: it would definitely die
b6: that is the norm
b7: but what I want to learn from you is how you managed to train out a rebellious character instead

057
b1: That, you see
b2: is because I am strong and outstanding
SFX1: buuha
SFX2: buuha
SFX3: biku
b3: I say, what happened to you?!
Sfx4:
b4: he is laughing at you
sfx5: what a disgusting smile
b5: seems like you guys are having fun chatting

058
b1: talk about Tenkou’s training?
b2: in that case, I am interested. you must definitely let me join in
b3: why not, Tenkou, you
b4: come to my side
that way you can have a good life
b5: Saiwa
b6: uwa. Ran-sama\ Mr Ran, why are you here?

059
b1: if you ask me why I am here
b2: I have one answer
b3: while you were bored and running away from your job, we caught you
b4: then he insisted on at least eating lunch here
b5: that is why I am here
b6: slacking?
b7: he is slacking
b8: Ichiyo brought back nothing again? aah, my only disciple is so unfilial. really makes me want to cry
b9: eh? this person is ran-sama’s disciple.
b10: yes, that is why he never went to the student’s hostel
b11: hehhh, because this person never said anything about himself

060
b1: I am more shocked at how this guy has friends
SFX1: really have friends
SFX2: no way
b2: this person is only my wallet
b3: ehh?!
SFX3: no! you must remember to return me my money
b4: Ichiyo
b5: three floors below
b6: is touseifuuyu’s room
b7: take an hour’s break
SFX4: gatta
b8: ah, oi, Ichiyo
b9: ah! I say,
SFX5: batta
b10: you are being rude to Ran-sama
b11: oi!

061
b1: really, not caring about his master. he wont be a good kashi
b2: haha, kashikan ?
b3: it is okay, that guy never thought of becoming a kashikan
SFX1: zawa
SFX2: kopopo

062
SFX1: Piku
SFX2: zudoo
b1: Shiro!
b2: master… where did you appear from?
b3: if you are asking from where
SFX3: from above?
b4: master!

063
b1: what should I do?
b2: how should I get down?
b3: you too jumped down
b4: I couldn't !
SFX1: fell by accident
b5: then just stay there for an hour screaming
b6: eh?!
b7: wah!
SFX2: gura
SFX3: Hii
b8: gya! master?
SFX4: pita
b9: are you alright?

064
b1: oh
SFX1: Bura-n
b2: …
b3: this is bad
b4: we didn't find any again
b5: you havent apologised

SFX1: zawa
b1: un!

I have eaten!!
SFX2: Puha
b2: yosh! then
b3: I shall take a walk to aid digestion
SFX3: you think we will allow you?
SFX4: Zu
SFX5: gaccha
b4: indeed
b5: ah ran-sama
b6: can I ask you one thing?
b7: un?
b8: Ichiyo became a kashikan even though he didn't want to
b9: kashi have high pay and not anyone can be one
and are highly respected in the society
SFX6: though they are of low position

066
b1: the only job that allows one to leave this country and enter another
b2: I don't know the reason why he hates it but
b3: that sort of thing
the answer is easy: the person that guy hates the most is a kashi
b4: he?
b5: who?
SFX1: nishi
b6: me
SFX2: do-n
b7: eh!?
b8: eh, he doesn't want to do it because of master,
then why does he do it?

067
b1: because that is the only thing he can do
SFX1: ah this is good, frozen rose fruit
SFX2: ba
SFX3: fua
steamed cakes and brewed tea
SFX4: Dan
b2: fugyu
b3: Sensei (teacher)
b4: welcome back
SFX5: hira
b5: o, Kaka
SFX6: gugu
SFX7: kya kya kya

068
b1: here! Kaka! how many times must I tell you not to step on people’s heads
SFX1: Pita
b2: go die
SFX2: pishi
b3: what are you saying
b4: hey! look at me !
SFX3 gyan! gyan!
SFX4: tsun
SFX5: pai-i-i-n
b5: to become a kashikan is not Ichiyo’s goal?
b6: aa
SFX6: zawa zawa
b7: do you know about Shikyou? (four bads?)
b8: heh? haa
b9: it is an old story, more of a legend that is

069
B1: It was said that this country had 5 mountains
B2: the middle, Eishyu
B3: West, Konron East, Hourai
B4: and the last two which do not exist now- Daiyo and Inkyou
B5: In this two mountains, there each was a heinious evil god that was sealed deep in the mountain
B6: When they escaped, it would so violent that the earth splits
B7: in the end, the mountains collapsed and was destroyed
B8: out of the five, three mountains remain. there are two more gods also being sealed in the east and west mountains. all together, the four gods form Shikyou

070
b1: In the northern land, being sealed by the big dipper, a beast looking like a large dog, the god who attacks blindly
b2: Konton
b3: in the southern land, being sealed by the vermillion bird*, a winged tiger, the god with a warped personality
b4: Kiyuuki
b5: in the eastern land, being sealed by the dragon king, a beast with a goat’s body and a human face, the hungry and fierce god
b6: Toutetsu
b7: in the western land, being sealed by the white tiger, having a human face and a snake’s body, the vermillion-headed god-kyoukou
b8: these are the Shikyou
b9: but that is just a legend
b10: huh? no, it is not just a legend

*note: vermillion bird and white tiger are both symbols of the chinese constellation and japanese guardian spirits. the other two symbols are the black tortise(north) and the azure dragon

071
b1: occasionally, earthquakes happens here on Eishyuu right?
that is because of the gods sealed between the eastern and western mountain are shaking right?
b3: the original job of a kashikan is to bring back all the gods that have left this land right? now listening to this, does something come to mind?
b4: im-impossible. even though this place once was filled with 8 million gods, to see them is few and far
b5: oh, you really are stupid
b6: the ones that Ichiyo is seriously searching for
arent earth spirits, or those good 8 million gods
but those kind in the legend

072
b1: that guy’s desire is just that
b2: master it is time. I am here
b3: oh
SFX1: Pomu
b4: this was never a simple matter to begin with
b5: remain cool and calm

073
b1: don't get hurt
b2: don't overwork
b3: …
b4: I understand
b5: then tomorrow at Youchikiyuu
b6: even though I will like to tell you with more details
b7+8: but those awful fellows wouldn't permit me to talk for another 10, 20 minutes
b9: ah? you have already idled for 3 hours
b10: oi oi, you people, you should trust your boss
b11: ah?! then the payment for these?

074
b1: I have returned
b2: un
b3: Ichiyo is thinking of coming tomorrow morning to meet you
b4: is that so?
b5: then I need to prepare what to wear
b6: since it is Ichiyo, there is no need to wear to be in full dress
b7: no
that
b8: I am going to wear my own normal clothes
b9: why?
b10: shouldn't you wear your official clothes since you are meeting him on the basis of work?
b11: no, though it is not full dress, but isnt this offiical clothes just as hard to move in?
b12:? but I find it suits you
b13: That Ichiyo! when he sees me in this form
b14: he will sneer at me saying I only look the part because of my clothes

075
b1: I apologise for that
b2: there is no need for an apology
b3: I have decided to not meet that guy in this form
b4: you don't need to mind about those awful comments
b5: Seioubo-sama
b6: … … Hokugou
b7: don't call me that. my name is
b8: Hakushyurin

To be Read from Right to Left

01
b1: Hey, don’t you have to go home?
B1: The Cheshire Cat’s Fate/Destiny---.
b2: Aren’t you worried about your cute owner?
b3: Who do you think my owner is…?
b4: Don’t try to act stupid.
b5: You’re the Cheshire Cat,
b6: The Duke’s pet cat, aren’t you?
b7: So you can only stay here for a night…
b8: I can’t become your owner no matter how intimate I get with you.

02
b1: To live a life where one is bound by one’s name
b2: Is very irritating indeed.
b3: Even if I love you so much right now, I’d have completely forgotten about it by tomorrow.
b4: Maybe…
SFX: Chiii
b5: …Cheshire cat.

03
V1: Where do you want to go?
V2: Here?
V3: Or…

04
SFX1: Kachik x3
b1: Uwah!

05
b1: Wah!
b2: What’re all these?
b3: Hats-?
b4: …Do you really intend to open a shop…?
b5: It’s not the opening hours yet.
b6: …What?

06
b1: That’s right,
b2: Don’t you have to kill the White Rabbit now?
b3: You’ll be punished by the Queen if you’re caught lazing around, won’t you?
b4: …You have to find the Dormouse before you can kill the White Rabbit.
b5: Dormouse?

07
b1: The White Rabbit hide in a “Cave” most of the time. We don’t know where he is.
b2: Therefore, this is an ability which was bestowed upon the Dormouse,
b3: Since the Dormouse is incomprehensibly the only source of information in Wonderland.
b4: What’re you talking about…?
b5: What about a rabbit and a mouse, and what cat was that again?
b6: What a unique country indeed.
b7: Don’t talk about the cat anymore.
b8: Why not?
b9: Don’t question me.
b10: How annoying…

08
SFX1: Kachik x3
b1: And then?
b2: We’ll leave after we finish drinking tea.
b3: When will we be looking for that something Dormouse?
V1: It’s only six o’clock.
b4: Hah…
b5: When will this finally end?
b6: I can entrust only you with this,
b7: Alice.
b8: …Kill the White Rabbit,
b9: Huh?
SFX2: Click

09
V1: As long as I do this,
V2: I’ll be able to get my own apartment…

10
SFX: Suu

11
b1: Did you try the roasted cat meat at today’s banquet?
b2: White rabbit-
V1: But, I still don’t really approve of the way you roast…
b3: What? Why are you here?
b4: I thought you were a “guest”.

12
b1: It would have been unlucky if I were your guest, looking at the coarse way you treat your guest.
b2: That’s because I hate cats without an upbringing.
b3: You’ve picked the wrong target to beg food from, haven’t you?
b4: Why aren’t you looking for your most beloved owner?
b5: Umm,
b6: My owner was eaten by the Master.
b7: I see.
b8: Then, seeing that you’re a pitiful cat who has forgotten your ability to get food,
b9: I’ll treat you today.

13
b1: That’s if you don’t mind eating leftovers that are normally given to wild cats.
b2: Is that alright?
b3: Thank you very much.
b4: I’m about to have a sumptuous meal which I haven’t had in a long time.
b5: I’ve always thought that “she” was really pitiful.
b6: You work so hard to prepare a meal accompanied by red wine everyday…
b7: And yet, “she” can’t eat a single thing.

14
b1: What’s up?
b2: I saw Alice.
b3: The Alice this time is really cute.
b4: Very honest.
V1: Very easy to fool.
b5: He’s not…
b6: Those who enter in randomly/voluntarily cannot be Alice.

15
b1: Is that so?
b2: Then why did you give him a name?
b3: Giving humans who aren’t Alice the name Alice.
b4: Don’t pretend to be ignorant, Cheshire Cat.
b5: Weren’t you the one who gave him that name?
b6: That never happened.
b7: You know it too, I’m a powerless pet cat. I don’t even have a name.
b8: Why’re you so anxious?
b9: Tsk.

16
b1: So… Forget it.
b2: Anyway, no matter what happens, we’ll be saying goodbye to that guy very soon.
b3: If you care so much about that imposter, start preparing his coffin right now then.
b4: The coffin won’t have any name for you to carve on…?
b5: Forget it… Do anything you like.
b6: This was the country you created anyway.
b7: Please come again in future, White Rabbit…
b8: Ah, that’s right…
b9: I came here to give you a warning today,
b10: White Rabbit.

17
b1: This Alice is different from the previous ones.
b2: It’ll be best if you don’t look down on him.
b3: No… Looking down on him once should be even better.
b4: Alice…

18
b1: Good. There’s no one around.
SFX: Tsu

19
b1: As expected, it’s still like that…
b2: Darn… Horrible!
b3: It’s really weird,
b4: It looked really easy when Mad Hatter did it.

20
b1: Truthfully speaking, as compared to me having not practiced this before,
b2: That guy’s scarier.
b3: If it’s him, he can definitely become a great partner of yours.
b4: He can kill all those who harbour ill intentions towards you.
b5: What partner…
b6: I don’t know what all of them are thinking.
b7: Who?!
SFX: Clink (Kotoso)

21
b1: Guyot/Guillot
b2: Fish…?

22
b1: Wh… Wh… Wh… What are you?! How disgusting!
b2: It’s really rude to call the person you’re meeting for the first time disgusting, Guyot/Guillot.
b3: But it feels like a comfortable evaluation to me, Guyot/Guillot.
b4: It can talk too!!!
b5: That’s because I’m a fish, that’s why I can talk, Guyot/Guillot.
b6: Waah!
b7: My master wishes to invite Alice for a gathering at court, Guyot/Guillot.
b8: Waah!
b9: Even if he gives up on this assignment, he can’t return home, and can’t ignore that pet either. He doesn’t do anything because he makes use of his rising popularity, Guyot/Guillot.
b10: It was requested of him that he bring Alice. I’m always the one who’s assigned to do the cleaning up, Guyot/Guillot.
b11: Waah!

23
b1: Hey!
b2: Eh?
b3: Wait…
b4: Waaaiiit!
b5: Save me, Mad Hatter!!!
b6: My black tea tastes the best today…

24
b1: Madam,
b2: I’ve brought Alice, Guyot/Guillot.
b3: Ummph! (Teitsu!)

25
b1: Hey you bastard! What kind of a joke are you playing?
b2: Doing as you please!
b3: Who do you think I am?!
b4: Eh…
b5: So you’re Alice?

26
b1: What a cute kid! I’m really glad to see you.
b2: I’ve always wanted to talk to Alice.
b3: This is the Madam? Why…
b4: She’s a child…
b5: She looks like one no matter how I look at it...
b6: It was you…
b7: Who wanted me to come here?
b8: Yes. Is there a problem?
b9: There’s no problem, but I don’t understand what this is about…
b10: Why? What is this? Is that Alice’s catchphrase?
b11: How cute.
b12: Umm. (Tsu.)

27
b1: But if you have any comments on the way we speak, it’ll be great if you can voice them out.
b2: Madam, I take my leave now, Guyot/Guillot.
b3: Okay, thank you.
b4: Take a seat,
b5: I’ll make some tea.
b6: Is there a need to make tea for me?
b7: Of course,
b8: Alice is an important guest.

28
b1: Ah, so it’s like that…
b2: Mad Hatter never makes tea for anyone.
b3: Those people… They’re still making an uproar like idiots.
b4: Don’t call them idiots. They’re holding a parade to welcome you.
b5: …To welcome me?
b6: Yes,
b7: They’ve been looking forward intently to this day’s arrival.
b8: They’ve been waiting for Alice from an unfathomable country.

29
b1: However… No one seems to be taking my circumstances into consideration.
b2: But,
b3: Who wouldn’t want to have something to do with Alice?
b4: Eh?
b5: Please have some tea.
b6: …It tastes very good.
b7: That’s great.
b8: Are you injured?
b9: Eh?
b10: Ah.

30
b1: You must have been scalded.
b2: As expected, you’re still a child.
b3: Wait a moment.
b4: Sigh.
b5: It’ll feel a little cold, but you’ll probably feel better after that.
b6: Thank…
b7: Thank you…

31
b1: Hmm…
b2: How does Alice find his unfathomable country?
b3: How… How should I put it?
b4: From today onwards, this will become the world you’re living in. Have you started to like this place now?
b5: Maybe…
b6: Everywhere is so chaotic, and there’re weird guys all over the place. Like Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and Chesire Cat…
b7: Cat…
b8: But…

32
b1: I can’t go anywhere else either.
b2: It might not be a bad thing now that circumstances are like this.
b3: As long as I can kill the White Rabbit quickly, I’ll be able to do whatever I want and live however I want to.
b4: Really?
b5: So your objective is to become the real Alice as well…
b6: No… It’s not like that either.

33
b1: I don’t know much about Alice…
b2: Up to today, there have been many Alices who have come from unfathomable countries as well. There were many deaths because they wanted to become the real Alice.
b3: In order not to be bound by the past, they could only go forward,
b4: While going forward like this, many important things were lost in the process.
b5: If you don’t do this, you can’t become Alice.

34
b1: Even so…
b2: You want to become Alice too?
b3: I…
b4: You should go home now.

35
b1: Sorry I’m disturbing you, can you come here for a moment?
b2: Did you call me, guyot/guillot?
b3: Open this door quickly.
b4: I can’t let you escape, guyot/guillot.
b5: Escape…?
b6: I won’t go anywhere,
b7: But, we can’t let this child get embroiled in all this. Please let him leave.
b8: I understand, guyot/guillot.

36
b1: Hey,
b2: Hey…
b3: I’m sorry, Alice.
b4: I’ll have tea with you properly sometime.
b5: I still want to listen to more
b6: Of what Alice says.
b7: Wait…
b8: I have no idea about what’s going on…

37
b1: A…
b2: Li…
b3: Ce…
b4: Where
b5: Is
b6: Alice…?

38
b1: My cute
b2: Alice…

39
b1: What is
b2: That creature…?
b3: I’m a fickle-minded cat.
b4: My owner’s become so weird, and there’s nothing I can do.

40
b1: Anyway, a pet can’t do anything…
b2: Recalling something like this even just once is really painful,
b3: Isn’t it, Alice?
