Double Arts 12

Sorry, real life job interfered again, didn't start till now. Posting this so scanlators can get started, i hope to have the last 5 pages done by 2/3 hours tops (need to take a break). If you have any questions about bubble order or placement, pm or reply, i understand how confusing this comic can be. If not otherwise specified, remember it's in order right to left, top to down.

EDIT: DONE. a few revisions, look for blue. oh and I spelled it "farren" by accident, make sure you put farran (fixed all instances here now)

01
-Okay, I know we're supposed to find him around here, but
-I somehow doubt we'll find him with just this portrait...
bold left: A task nearly impossible!
CHAPTER 12 - "The rumored man"
picture: (read these from top to bottom, regardless of alignment)
-key feature!
-His bangs make an "X"
-Farran looks like this!
-And he's dressed in all black!!

-I mean, this city is pretty big...
-And it's not like he'll take forever to eat lunch...
komi naoshi (author)

-I wonder if we can really trust this drawing in the first place... (that's quite a face...)

-good luck searching!

02
-How come she draws herself so well!?
-Woah, it looks just like her!

-Does this lady have strange talents or what

-Um, Kiri-san?
-hm?
-Might the person over in that window be him?

-EH!? You mean the rumors aren't true?!
-...i guess not...

-I'm like, so shocked!
-I've only heard such terrible things, so I imagined someone more...evil
-People must be going around speaking lies about you, Farran-san!

03
-Oh! so what about that famous story??
-You know, the one where you busted the steel castle gate bare-handed??
-...that thing was just worn down with age
-I just happened to open it when it couldn't take anymore

-Ooh ooh!!
-How about the one where you fought and captured a bear alive??
-They say you pinned it down with sheer intimidation!
-That's a lie too
-I went on a bear hunt just once, so probably somebody blew that out of proportions... (sheer intimidation??)

-Ah!! And what about that...
-Y'know, where you were surrounded by 50 bandits and single-handedly took them all out...!!
no bubble: she's seems really excited...

-That's a lie too

-Haha! Of course! Like, it was 50 people after all! You couldn't be human to take on that many!

-50 people...
-not even Sui could handle that

04
-Excuse me, Farran Denzel-san,
-correct?

-...We'd just
-like a little bit of your time
-There's something important we need to ask you

-...so that's what it was
-I understand your situation

-I was wondering what the Sisters could possibly want from me
-I would've never imagined they were referring to you two
-Those two ladies are the worst

05
-Sister Martha
-and Rei...

-I mean, Tessera Gordon
-Those two always ask annoying favors
-He was about to call her another fake name?!

-I don't suppose you two
-filled Tessera in on the details?
-eh?
-n-no we didn't

-We aren't supposed to tell anyone who isn't directly involved with us about our situation
-It's not just that we're trying to avoid our information getting leaked to the Gazelle,
-But also that we're afraid of getting innocent people mixed up in this
-I'm sure Sister Martha told us to talk to you because she believes in your skills
-but, why do you ask?

-Because if Tessera knew all this,
-I'm sure she wouldn't have introduced me to you

-T-that means...?

06
-Back on topic...
-What the heck was that about!?

-I'll get to the point
-I refuse to act as your personal bodyguard

-Judging from your circumstances, I know that's probably not enough to convince you, so I'll add this:
-I have no intentions to guard anyone
-...or should I say, I can't

07
-Can't...?

-What do you mean? It doesn't sound like you lack the ability to or anything
-Would you mind telling us why
-I know it may not seem like it, but our lives are on the line here

-I can't answer your question
-Eh~~?

-Just like you have your reasons,
-I've got mine
top left set: - Some things are better left unsaid
-I'm sure you two have secrets you'd rather keep?
below: When I say no, I mean it

-Rest assured, I won't tell a soul about you two
-So please accept my apologies and go ask somewhere else
-...I have no desire to protect anyone

08
-WOOF x4

-WOOF X4
-...I'm guessing he's bad with animals...

-...Okay
-We understand

-Please accept out apologies
-Sorry for bothering you with this difficult request
-Let's get going
-o-okay

-Better find an inn or we'll have to camp out
-A-anything but that!

09
-I wonder if Sui is all right, all by herself...
-No problem, plus she's got money (your money)
no bubble tiny: This room is great
-Plus, she's got a great nose
-I'm sure she'll track us down by scent
-I-is she a dog??

-But what a let down, about Farran...
-Hm? Well, it wasn't possible from the start, so what could we do?

-It would've been a relief to get more help,
-but i'm actually kinda relieved he refused
-huh?

-I understand that it's a bodyguard's duty to protect their client's lives at all costs
-But, it's possible we'd be faced with a similar situation like yesterday's
-That doesn't sit well with me

-Others getting hurt for our sake...
-Having to be protected by others is just too much for me to bear

10
-Well!
-That's just my ego talking!
-It's not like we really have any other options
-So I'll just have to put up with it!

-Let's get in the shower and freshen up!
-On a journey like ours, we better use one when we can!
-Aha...
-guess you're right

no bubble: take a shower...

-Dwah--!!

-H-hey!
-Are you okay!?
-I...I didn't even realize...

-That now...
-we're all alone...!

11
-After all that yesterday, all I could think about were the Gazelle and the Order and all that stuff...
-Today too, my mind was filled with Farran and what we'd do after that...
-What will I do!? Mink, Urates, ...not even Sui is here to help!
-We're all alone!!
-Why didn't I realize this sooner!? <-(t/n - condensed the whole thing into one line, took out the brackets)

-I just remembered

-We need to make our beds
-BED!?!

-W-w-w-what are you thinking about, Kiri-san!?
-Huh? I mean, we need to set it up, right?
-C'mon...

-Like this

12
-K...Kiri...
-He thought everything out for me...
no bubble: Now I don't have to worry
no bubble: About anything strange happening!
-I don't want to get kicked awake in the middle of the night any more!!
no bubble: This defense is perfect!!

-So you go take a shower first
-I don't mind going last
-Okay! I'll do that~ (sniff)
-W-why is she crying!?

-How strange of you to drop by so late, Farran
-Care for a drink?
-no thanks

-What's with that mask??
-It was on sale at the bazaar...
-i just had to get it...
-Aw, aren't you just the cutest thing??

13
-Re...
-I mean, Tessera
-I met two kids this afternoon
-What was that all about?

-You know...
-I'm sure they told you everything
-So...
-That's not what I asked

-You know something
-What did you see with that "fortune telling" of yours?

-Don't tell me we were "destined to meet"
-Me...
-and those kids...

-...not to worry...
-You'll be running into them again soon
-yes...

14
-...in fact, tonight...

-...what are you thinking, everything will be fine!
-Kiri is a good person
-He's not the kind to peek during my shower! Definitely not!
-That's why everything's fine--just perfect!!
-Nothing to worry about at all...

-Absolutely nothing to worry about~!!
-This is completely natural, no different than being by myself!
-Besides, I took showers just fine back at Kiri's house...
-Even if...!
-Even if I were to feel embarrassed, I should be able to get used to it right away!
-I have nothing to worry about from here on out, that's why...
-YOU NEED TO HURRY BACK HERE RIGHT NOW, SUI!!!
box: *all said while feeling super self-conscious

-...but, it's not like we told Sui where we're staying
-Will I really be able to last the rest of this trip?

-...snap out of it!
-This is no time for me to be chickening out!
-I shouldn't be turning red over a silly shower...

15
-Woah! Nice body!

-Yo!

-FUGYAAAAA
-Dwah!! What happened?!
-S-stop!! Don't come in!!
-Why're you screaming? Chill out!
-This is the innkeeper, are you two all right in there??
-WE'RE JUST FINE!!!

16
-SUI-SAN!!
-WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE COMING IN FROM!?
-THIS IS THE BATHROOM!!!
-Huh? I'm a girl so what does it matter?
-EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE A GIRL, IT'S STILL EMBARRASSING!!!

-Who cares about being topless? Look!

-C-CANT BREATHE
-Aaaah!! I'm sorry!!
-Aahahaha
-It's great and all that you two are having fun and all
-But I hope you know this isn't the time for that

-Didn't you catch on?
-You're been trailed by somebody ever since the afternoon

17
-Eh!?

-After I went my own way, I kept a good eye on you two
-I figured it'd be easier for someone to attack you if you were by yourselves...
-...that's terrible!!
-And sure enough, somebody showed up

-It was SO much fun stalking your stalker...
-Throw on some clothes while you still can
-Once the night gets thick,
-He'll be sure to attack!!
-Your eyes are sparkling...

-Yesterday
-Around 4:30 pm
-The "Gazelle wasteland"

18
-Let's see...who should I send to pay them a visit...
-All the guys I've got nearby are...

-These peoples

-Who will it be?

-...ngh

19
-Those kids got terrible luck
-"Avro (アブロ） the poison assassin"
-They won't make it out of this one

-How boring...

bold: Evil quietly closes in!
box: ...and now

-Back to the present day,

-Around 8:45 PM...
