Psycho Busters 14

Page 48:

Kaito: Our power has suddenly gone up!?

What do you mean, Joui?

Joui: You don't think it's weird?

We escaped from the Greenhouse a little less than three months ago...

J: But your abilities and Sharon's have clearly improved in that time period.

They've become far greater than before. Why would that be?

K: ....

Pure genius?

J: ...Is clearly not the answer.

If there is a cause, it must be something we came into contact with outside the Greenhouse.

K: It can't be...

CASE 14: JEALOUSY


Page 49:

J: Kakeru.


Page 50:

Shaoron: A...Ayano-san?

T-Today is definitely my turn to be on food duty, ri...right?

Ayano: Oh, my...

You are dissatisfied with my cooking...?

Text: N-never!

Kaito: Sharon! What happened to Ayano!?

S: I...I don't know!


Page 51:

Box: The next day.

Mamidori: Kakeru-kuun! <3

I came over so we could walk together!!

Kakeru: That's it. That's definitely the problem.

Right house box: Kakeru's House

Left house box: Everyone Else's House.

Mamidori: Hey, hey, did you watch the comedy show that was on last night?

It was sooo funny, wasn't it?

K: Y...Yeah

K: Oh, yeah, Ayano...
small text: Help!

Ayano: Aren't you having a conversation with Mamidori-san?
small text: That looks like more fun to me.

K: C'mon!

page 52:

kaito: I'd never have expected this of you, kakeru. how long has this been going on?

K: what? since never! i never even said I was...

Mamidori: huh? What do you mean, since never?!

Mamidori: We're going out because...

we did THAT, didn't we?

Text: TH..AT...!?

(Tn note: In Japanese, "That" = sex ^^)

Page 53:

Kaito: Oh my, did you hear that? The things a young girl will do!

Kakeru: You're wrong!!
text:Stop making things worse!

K: It was badly phrased...

Besides, it was mamidori-san who...

Kaito: So, it was the girl who made the first move!?

S: Girls these day...

K: What did I just tell you!? You're wrong!!


Page 54:

Box: Lunchtime.

Mamidori: Kakeru-kun,

Say "ahhhh"! <3

M: What's wrong?

Kakeru: No..this is...I don't know...

People thinking, Top to bottom: Why Kakeru, of all people?

I should kick his ass!
small text: Lucky jerk...

Not only does he have Fujimura-san, but now Mamidori-san too!

Girl: Oooh, I can feel the flames from here!

M: Is my food not good enough for you, Kakeru?

K: N-no, it's not that...


Page 55:

K: It's just, we usually eat up on the roof as a group.

So you see, well...

K: Ayano?

I'll go up with you!

A: You don't have to bother.

I can tell the others where you are.

K: But...

But I wanna...


Page 56:

Ayano: Ugh! The way he fawns all over her!

I feel sick!

"Say "ahhh!" For christs sake, that's so lame!

If Kakeru doesn't like it like, then why doesn't he say that to her?!

And Mamidori-san's just as bad! She gets away with it because she knows he's a pushover.

Kaito: C'mon, don't get so worked up.

A: Worked up...?

A: Why would I be angry?

K: Well...

All you ever talk about is Kakeru.


Page 57:

A: I-I'll go buy us some drinks!

Kaito: Looks like we're making some progress...

J: Yeah.

J: She's been at the Greenhouse since she was 6 years old...longer than any of us.

At the beginning, she had no emotions at all. Couldn't even smile.

Kaito: We were all worried about her...

But I think she's finally coming around, y'know?


Page 58:

Ayano text: They're right.

I'm feeling so irritated and nervous...

What am I so afraid of?

Just thinking about it creates a pain in my chest.

What's happening to me?

What is this horrible emotion...?

Random guy: Want me to tell you?


Page 60:

Text: What's...what's going on...?

Guy: You know what it is?

It's called "jealousy", missy.

Guy: Out of all the negative emotions in the human heart...

It is the worst, and the hardest emotion to accept.

Basically, you are unclean.


Page 61:

Guy: What's wrong?

Text, right: I...I can't...

Text left: move...my body...

Guy: Don't you want to know?

Don't you want to know what to call this pain, this emotion?!

What's this? Why do you wish to flee?

How mean.

You won't find any other human being as kind and considerate as me.

Wait, maybe "human" is the wrong word.

I should have said..."psychic"

Text: KAKERU...!


Page 62:
M: What's wrong, Kakeru-kun?

K: Oh...I thought I heard Ayano-chan's voice just then.

M: Honestly! Ayano-chan this, Ayano-chan that!

You aren't that subtle, are you?

K: S-Sorry!

M: You love Ayano, don't you?

K: ...What?

K: W-what!? How did you know!?
small text: are you a psychic?

M text: I don't need to be. It's obvious...


Page 63:
M: Am I not good enough for you or something?

K: Huh?

M: I'm not blind, you know!

You and Ayano-chan are not meant to be together!

She's never actually said that she likes you back.

M: B-but...

But I do!

I can return any feelings you might have for me...


Page 64:

K: Please forgive me. But I can't return any of your feelings.

M: ...

...I...

K: I'm very flattered

that you like me so much and all....


Page 65:

K: Not too long ago, I was a shy kid. I didn't have many friends...

And I hated going to school.

But then...I found a group of people who welcomed me among them.

And I feel like since then, I've changed a lot.

So even though I haven't said it yet...

one day soon I will tell her that I love her!


Page 66:

K: Maybe she won't feel the same way.

But it's not fair if I just "settle" for you, right?

K: I mean, I do think you're cute and really nice...
but all that would just be wasted one me.

K: Maybe it's not right that I should be turning you down.

But...


Page 67:

K: I still love Ayano.

And that's it.

I'm sorry.

M: What's the big deal?

Always Ayano, Ayano!

What's she got that I don't?

Hmmph...


Page 68:

K: All I want to do is see Ayano smile!

After all the Greenhouse and Psychic business is over and done...


Page 69:

Bubble: I want to Ayano to be a normal girl, with a normal smile.

I have to tell her, right now! I don't know what she'll think or do...

Two people text, left to right: That way, I think. Where's Fujimura-san?

Bubble: But I must see Ayano, and tell her how I feel!!

Text: Why is she in the old unused campus building?

Meh, who cares?

K: Ayano...? A-Are you here?


Page 70:

K: A...

A..
A--

Aya...no?

AYANOOO!!


Page 71:

Kakeru: Arrgh!

Cough!

Text: This power can only be...

Text: Psychokinesis!!


Page 72:
Guy: ...Oh great

I guess she failed then.

And seducing you seemed like such a good idea.

Kakeru: "She"...?

Guy: Friendship is so fragile, really.

Play around with a relationship just a bit, and look what happens!

Her power is my greatest weakness. But she was so silly and upset, defeating her was incredibly easy.

All this crap about "friendship" and "love" makes me sick!


Page 73:

Guy: Well, next is you, Category Zero!!

And unlike her, I haven't been ordered to bring you in unharmed!

Text, right to left: I want him either dead or alive.

Just get me Category Zero.

Guy: At least put up a worthwhile fight!


Page 74:

Text: No...No!

He's too strong!

Guy: Oh? What's wrong?

You're supposed to be more fun than this.

Page 75:

Text: Ah...I know!

I'll use my usual bluff!

Kakeru: Are you sure about that?

You realize that if you keep this up, you're going to die!

Once I get really mad, I'll--

I swear I'll--

Text: He'll kill me!

Kakeru: Arrrgh!

Garrrgh!

Guy: Hurry up and finish your sentence already!

Hmmph...


Page 76:

Kakeru: Arhhh...

Grugh!

Argh..!

Guy: ...Disappointing.

Page 77:

Guy: This is such a let down.

I'm bored.

Die already.

K: Arrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!


Page 78:

Guy: What?

Takemaru: That's a fascination power you've got there.

Guy: Arrrrghh!

Takemaru: But I already own that move.

Next time you want to use it, you'll have to ask my permission.

K: T...Take...

Page 79:

K: Takemaru-kun!!

T: There can't be 2 guys with the same power, you hear! You're cramping my style, which means it's time for you to go!
