Chapter 27 -- We Only Have Each Other

Butterfly: Is that you, Ouka?
How is the mission progressing?
Have you completed the first step of the search by now?
Ouka: Yes, just a while ago I stole the data of the staff and students in this school
Now I will be narrowing down the suspects
Butterfly: There's no need for you to hurry
Just make sure you do this cautiously
Ouka: Yes, I know
Secrecy is our top-priority
Butterfly: Exactly
We do not know what traps the Renkin soldiers have set in that school
Make sure nobody sees what you're doing

Page 03
Ouka: Oh, what a coincidence. Are you all going back now?
Kazuki: You too, Ouka-senpai?
Ouka: Yes, I had to stay back for some council work...
Well, why don't we all go back together?
Shusui: Uh, but it was really hot today and we sweated a lot
so we were talking about going to the sentou together...
(Sentou = "Japanese communal bath house")
Ouka: Oh my
But I would be bored if I go back alone first
Ouka: In that case
Ouka: Why don't we, girls, have some tea before going back
How does that sound?
Okakura: Habiba Nonno™

Page 04
Okakura: ....Hey
Kazuki: Yeah?
Okakura: Is Hayasaka-senpai smart?
Rokusuma: He's one of the smartest in his grade
Okakura: No way! He's smart and good at sports and he's good-looking?! That's impossible!
Daihama: "Impossible"? But...
Okakura: He must have a secret weakness that he can't tell!
Kazuki: Like?
Okakura: Like...
Text: Let's totocalcio!
Boys: Bigger than Okakura, smaller than Kazuki!
Bigger than Kazuki, smaller than Daihama!
Bigger than Okakura, smaller than Rokusuma!
Bigger than Rokusuma, smaller than Kazuki!
(So that means... Daihama>Kazuki>Rokusuma>Okakura? ƒÐƒÖƒÐ)

Page 05
Boys: It's... It's beautiful!!!
Okakura: ...He's perfect
Daihama: He's the ultimate
Kazuki: Yeah, the ultimate masterpiece

Page 06
Papillon: Yeah, you're right
He'd be super-ultimate if he put the same mask on as me
Okakura: Uwaaaaa?!
Papillon: Mind your manners; Don't make a racket in the sentou
Papillon: Hey... I heard you've been getting stronger recently
Kazuki: The same goes to you... I heard you got your Kakugane at last
Papillon: Well, yeah. Although, as you can see, I haven't actually brought it into the bath with me
But we could still have a battle now?
Kazuki: No, that won't be fair
We agreed to fight only once we're both prepared

Page 07
Papillon: You haven't changed
Still a hypocrite, huh?
Kazuki: Say whatever you want
I won't change my ways!
Text (Papillon): But that's what makes you
Papillon: Well, I guess it doesn't really matter. I'm in the middle of a job anyway
Text (Papillon): my worthy opponent, Mutou Kazuki!
Papillon: Be careful
Your enemies are very close
Kazuki: What?!

Page 08
Shusui: *sigh*...
Shusui: A Watcher... As I expected, we're being followed
Rokumasu: So that's the mysterious butterfly-mask man
Daihama: I didn't know he really existed...
I thought it was just a rumor
Papillon: Miss (or Bandai-san; Bandai = the person who sits at the entrance of the sentou to collect money etc, usually an old woman)
I'll have a bottle of fruits-milk
Okakura: Kazuki, what were you guys talking about?!
Kazuki: Well, about--
Kazuki: About how we should prevent crime in this town, yeah...
Boys: No way!
Okakura: I mean, wouldn't he be the prime suspect of a crime?
Mahiro: It's bitter!

Page 09
Mahiro: It's way too bitter~
Ouka: Oh my
Do you not like the espresso coffee?
It is this shop's recommendation though
Tokiko: Do you want to have my milk instead?
Mahiro: You don't mind? Thanks!
Ouka: If I'm not wrong, both of you stay in the boarding house, right?
Ouka: What about your family?
Mahiro: Hmm,
well, my parents are both working together overseas so
Ouka: And how about you, Tsumura-san?
Tokiko: I don't have any
They died long ago

Page 10
Ouka: Oh my... I'm sorry
Tokiko: Don't worry
It's more tiring when people take care not to mention it
Mahiro: How about you, Ouka-senpai?
Ouka: It's a secret
But right now, Shusui-kun and I are living by ourselves
Mahiro: I see, so that's why the two of you are so close
Ouka: Oh, but you are very close to your brother as well
Ouka: But now that your brother has a girlfriend like Tsumura-san
you must be a bit jealous of her, no?
Mahiro: Hmm, but then Tokiko-san would be my sister-in-law so
Ouka: Oh, right. So you'll get the good part of each
Tokiko: There's nothing like that going on between Kazuki and me!
Mahiro: Huh? Then that'll mean that my brother isn't training to protect you?
It's been getting quite dangerous around here recently, so I thought that was it

Page 11
Mahiro: Oh, but in Shusui-senpai's case
I'm sure he's training for you
Ouka: Yes
After all,
we siblings only have each other
Tokiko & Ouka: Excuse me
Tokiko: Kazuki? What's wrong?
Ouka: Oh? Shusui-kun
Mahiro: Nope, too bitter~
Tokiko & Ouka: What...

Page 12
Tokiko: I see... So Papillon is watching us...
Shusui: If he's in the way
I can kill him
Ouka: Tsk, tsk
Don't say such scary things
Ouka: But since we have a Watcher on us
if we make even a small mistake, we can be displaced from this mission
so from now on, we'll have to be even more careful
Bravo: I see
Papillon gave you such a warning...

Page 13
Tokiko: Can we trust him?
Bravo: Probably. It seems like he has a peculiar code of honor when dealing with Kazuki
For now, I want you to be on your guard, moreso than usual
Kazuki & Tokiko: Yes, sir
Tokiko: From tomorrow, I will patrol the inside of the school after classes end
If I find an enemy, I will destroy it immediately!
Bravo: ...It would be best to capture them alive, to obtain information about the L.X.E HQ
but in any case, our top priority is
Kazuki: to make sure no casualties arise!
Bravo: Bravo
Exactly!

Page 14
Tai: So it's here!
Shi: All right, let's go!
Shi: Our disguise is perfect!
Tai: No one will be suspicious of us!

Page 15
Students: There's something about them!
There's something about them!
There's definitely something about them!
Text: Kendo Club
Kendo students: A pair that look too ridiculous to be anything but funny?
Okakura: They're quite a sight! You've gotta see them
Shusui: Tai and Shi!
Kazuki & Shusui: It couldn't be!
Kazuki: The enemies Chouno warned me of!
Tokiko: What happened?
There's some kind of commotion inside the school...

Page 16
Ouka: Oh
Ouka: That's unusual
So you're not with Kazuki-kun today
Tokiko: I told you!
There's nothing going on between Kazuki and--
Ouka: But this is perfect
You see, I wanted to continue the chat we were having yesterday--
Tai & Shi: We've found you

Page 17
Tai & Shi: We're taking your Kakugane and life!!
Tokiko: They're the Homunculus! To think they'd attack so freely in public!
Ouka: Tai and Shi! Why are they here?!

Page 18
Kazuki & Shusui: Wait!!
Shi: So the Hayasaka boy's here!
But
Tai: Who's the other kid?
Text (Butterfly): Make sure you carry out the mission in secret
Ouka: Ugh
Shusui: Shit
Text (Ouka): Even a small mistake can cause us to be displaced from this mission
Text (Tokiko): We can't involve people who don't have anything to do with this
Tokiko: Damn it
Text: We can't use the Busou Renkin!

Page 19
Kazuki: Busou
Renkin!!
Kazuki: Run away, Ouka-senpai!
