Medaka Box 44

This is for CxC's use only.



page 1

box1) The current FLASK plan's supervisor, Kurokami Kujira aka Naze Youka's catch phrase is 'Let's try it out'.
panel) The girl who continues experimenting.
title) We need to run.
box2) Just saying she isn't afraid of failure comes up short. She sees failure as a step closer to success. // In fact the thoughts 'let's do this properly' or, 'be careful' never cross her mind.
box3) And although she doesn't remember them, she's even used her blood brother and sister as experiments.
box4) The reason she made one into a potato and had the other lose her memories, // was because she thought: Hey, since I have the chance, I should try out these syringes I'm carrying.
box5) In fact, it was quite a hard pill for her to swallow when she had to admit that Koga lost to Akune.
box6) The current situation is nothing more than how the chips fell in place.
box7) However, no one would have imagined,
box8) that her habit of trying things would lead to the furtherance of the FLASK plan.

page 2

b1) Medaka-san, please try to focus! // There's no way in hell, someone like you who remembers minute details could lose their memory!
b2) It's me!! Do you recognize me!?
b3) Of course, I recognize you.
b4) You're Toshima-kun... right?
b5) Who the hell is that!? // Why would you pretend to know me!?
b6) Here, take a good look at me! // It's Akune Kouki, the guy who used to beat you to a pulp everyday in middle school!
b7) Akune-kun, // With the way things are, I think her losing her memory is the better outcome.
b8) Maguro-san!? // Is it even possible to do that with just a single syringe!?
b9) Think calmly. // Someone losing their memory is actually a very simple matter.

page 3

panel1) The human brain is structured to be able to forget. // If you add a little pulse to the brain that surrounded in liquid, you can easily affect memories and feelings. // People have been researching memory loss since ancient times, and there's even a division of medicine dedicated to it.
panel2) However, if Medaka-chan's abnormality wasn't sealed, it wouldn't have affected her.
b1) The real problem is, // exactly how badly is her memory affected.
b2) But it doesn't look like we have the time to figure that out.
b3) Koga-san, stop!
b4) You're way passed your limits already!!
b5) Yeah, I'm at my limit. // That's why I'm going to be serious now.
b6,8) crack.
b7) That's why I'm no longer going to fight like this is a wrestling match.

page 4

b1) I WILL NO LONGER CLING TO THE CEILING OR DO HAND STANDS TO FIGHT!
b2) IF SOMEONE FIGHTS ME NORMALLY WITH BOTH FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND, I WON'T EVER LOSE!!
panel1) I can't believe she said that.
b3) hmph, // I don't know exactly what's going on, but the fact that you're trying to harm us is crystal clear.
b4) If that's how it is, I'll defend myself to the end.
b5) Medaka-san... but you don't remember any...
b6) Oh, I get it!
b7) Memory and personality are two different things! // Even Naze-san's personality is the same as it was in the past.
b8) Even without her memories, Medaka-san remains the same!
-No fool, a personality is built heavily on the past.-
b9) Isn't that right, Maguro-san?

page 5

b1) ...well, // there are times when that does happen...
panel1) But if that were the case, Medaka-chan wouldn't try to fight.
panel2) The two of us behind her are tired, and Koga-san is running on empty from her last fight. If she fights, she's no longer the student council president Kurokami Medaka that says she was born for the sake of others, and that she treats friend and foe alike. // Right now, she knows who's an enemy and who's not by our conversation. In other words, she's just throwing herself into flames like a moth.
panel3) That could also be looked at as wise, but she's neither thinking of protecting us, or treating her enemy nicely. // She's just reacting normally to the situation in front of her.
panel4) A form of her personality that took 15 years to... No, // If she's forgotten what happened those 13 years ago, then...
panel5) She's totally empty. // What you're seeing is nothing more than an echo of her former self...

page 7

b1) Koga-chan, that's enough. // You won, so stop.
b2) This is so pathetic, I can barely watch.
b3) Yeah, you're right. // Now it looks like I'm just bullying some weakling.
b4) This was starting to get to me.
b5) Since she beat Unzen-kun, I kept thinking maybe now she will...
b6) show us another one of those miracles. // Well, since she was up against us, it's not like she could do any more.
b7) I can't believe the hypocrisy! You weakened her with that vaccine of yours and now listen...
b8) If it were the normal Medaka-san, you guys would be the ones... // If either her memory or her abnormality had returned then...
b9) Ha ha ha! Don't try to be a comedian now, Kouki-kun. // I'll seriously fall for you.
b0) It'll take a while longer for her memory to return,

page 8

b1) But as for her abnormality, // it returned during the fight.
b2) Your analysis skills have returned too, Kurokami Maguro. // Don't try to hide it from me.
b3) Are you playing possum in hopes of me letting my guard down?
b4) What's going on?
b5) Weren't you listening? I said it wasn't completed. // An abnormal killing vaccine, right? If something that convenient was around, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.
b6) Besides, medicines only work when you take them over a period of time.
b7) Have you ever heard of taking a flu shot once and never having to take it again in your life?
b8) So long as you don't die from the initial shock, there's no need for an antidote.
b9) As much as I hate to admit it, // The FLASK plan isn't progressing too well.
b0) tsk... // Then what did Medaka-san do all that...
panel) No, the real problem is, if what she said is true, then...

page 9

b1) That's right, Kurokami Medaka, with her abnormality, lost to Koga-chan who was running on empty.
b2) In other words, // the chairman has been totally mistaken about us.
b3) Everyone was overwhelmed by Kurokami Medaka's dazzling abnormality.
b4) In fact, what everyone should have been paying attention to is her personality that made her abnormality so splendid.
b5) Personality? Well...
b6) Maybe I'd be better off saying, her mind.
b7) ...You can analyze this all you want later. // Kujira-chan... I mean, Naze-chan,
b8) We've totally lost, // so could you release Medaka-chan, please.
b9) Like hell I will. // It's not like you don't understand me yet.
b0) There's something else I'd like to test out.
b1) Something you'd like to test out?
b2) What on earth are planning this time?
b3) Like you need to ask! // I'm going to try and put another personality into the blank slate that is now Kurokami Medaka.

page 10

b1) Another personality!? // Get serious! There's no way in hell you can do that!
b2) It's not the same thing as simply erasing memory!
b3) Under normal circumstances, you'd be right. // But did you already forget about him?
b4) The man you were paired with when you were still part of the FLASK plan, // the man who's abnormality is to make people do as he says.
b5) Miyakonojou... // Oudo!!
-I really hate that name-
b6) Correct! The ruler of the 13th floor,
b7) should be able to brainwash her before her real memories return.
b8) Now that our next destination is set, let's be on our way.
b9) See you later, my beloved brother.

page 11

b1) hngg... wait...
b2) Maguro-san, don't do it!
b3) That hole goes all the way down to the 6th floor!
b4) Since you're not someone like Koga-san that's been tinkered with, you won't walk away with just injuries!
b5) We need to meet up with Hitoyoshi-kun and Kikaijima-san! Then we can all go down together!
b6) They said they were going to B13, // we know exactly where to go...
b7) It's happening again.
b8) I failed to save Kujira-chan again!
b9) And this time, // I even lost Medaka-chan!

page 12

b1) They're on B13, right... // We're still only on B4.
b2) I wonder if we'll make it in time. And even if we do...
b3) I've finished treating her wounds.
b4) Now, until I've finished talking with Miyakonojou-senpai, keep giving her the medicine to prevent her memories from returning.

page 13

b1) You're really cutting it close you know. // Why do you act without a plan?
b2) Try thinking of me, who has to bear the full brunt of this!
b3) I am going according to a plan. // But, Miyakonojou-senpai said he wants this girl as his wife.
b4) So I'm doing him a favor, so he'll fulfill my request or help with my experiments...
b5) I hope.
b6) That's not what I mean! I'm talking about time! // The student council guys are right on our tails!
b7) We don't have the time to brainwash Kurokami now, do we?
b8) ah! // She's covering her face again.
b9) Oh, you're right.
b0) And the guys we tried to use as speed bumps, Takashiho-senpai, and Munakata-senpai, were both beaten.
b1) I want you to rest, // and I want Miyakonojou-senpai to work.
b2) Yukuhashi-senpai always stays with Miyakonojou-senpai...
b3) It looks like you're in a bit of trouble, here.
b4) If you want, we can always buy you some time.
-finally, a page with no text!!! u gotta love the girl in overalls with no bra on!!!!-

page 15

b1) Only a coward would simply watch as someone was in trouble!
box1) Itoshima Gunki // Senior, class 13 // Bloodtype AB // Project name: Death watch.
b2) I'm the type who won't forsake a friend in need!
b3) Friends?
b4) Is that the setting we're operating under?
box2) Yunomae Otome // Junior, class 13 // Blood type AB // Project name: Free World.
b5) I couldn't care less about that girl,
box3) Hyakuchou Hamaya // Junior, class 13 // Blood type AB // Project name: Love.
b6) but having Miyakonojou owe me one isn't bad.
box4) Chikuzen Yutori // Senior, class 13 // Blood type AB // Project name: Trick or Treatment.
b7) I feel dirty just by having garbage (normals) close to me.
b8) Even if you didn't ask, I was going to take care of them.
box5) Tsurumisaki Yamami // Junior, class 13 // Blood type AB // Project name: Star Master.
b9) I feel the same.
box6) Kamimine Shouko // Senior, class 13 // Blood type AB // Project name: Dental Shoes.
b0) We can dump that garbage (normals) without separating them first.

page 16

b1) 13 party's... // plus 6!!
panel1) These guys didn't show up when the chairman called them at first. // I thought they had no interest in this whatsoever.
panel2) They're not the type to help me out either... does that mean the chairman gave them some incentive to do this? // Well, even if that's the case, this will be more than just buying time. Because it's not JUST that they're good fighters.
panel3) It might sound cynical coming from me, but I feel sorry for those guys from the student council now. // There's no escape for you!
b2) WHAT WAS THAT!!!? // YOU WANT US TO RUN!!?
b3) HAVE YOU LOST YOUR DAMN MIND, HITOYOSHI-KUN!?

page 17

b1) I didn't say for us to run.
b2) I said we should regroup above ground.
b3) THAT'S THE SAME THING!!!
b4) I'VE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU! MEDAKA-SAN IS CAPTURED RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN A FIGHT AGAINST TIME, AND YOU'RE...
b5) I KNOW THAT! BUT TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT REALITY!
b6) Neither you, Maguro-san or me are in ANY condition to fight!
b7) With how things have turned out, we need to properly prepare ourselves to even attempt saving Medaka-chan!
b8) If you take Naze-senpai and Koga-senpai out of the equation, there are still 8 members of the 13 party remaining!
b9) Are you trying to push ALL of them on Kikaijima!?
b0) We can't be satisfied with only having Medaka-chan come out of this in one piece! // We're the student council!
b1) Please don't forget that our actions need to take the entire student body into consideration!
b2) ugh...
b3) Keh! Still the same softie as ever!
b4) In this situation all that's going through your head is saving, why don't you try thinking about being saved for once?

page 18

b1) HUH!?
b2) Why are you guys here?
b3) You're asking why...
b4) You seem pretty unhappy with us being here.
b5) Well, it's because Shiranui-chan said that my cute underclass men were in trouble, // so I came as quickly as I could.
b8) If you're asking me, it's... // because I don't remember losing to such weaklings.
b9) I'm the one who's going to beat you guys... good enough?
b0) You can't really put it like that since we've all lost to the student council.
b1) I can just say normally that I want to help out a friend, right?
b2) Ke ke ke! Is a reason for being here really necessary? // How about we go to the cliched entrance scene?

page 19

b1) Loser team, enters stage left!!
panel) Takachiho, Munakata, Nabeshima, Onigase, Unzen and his sister... In their greatest time of need, help came in this form!!
