PAGE1
Priestess: Afraid so…

-Afraid so…

-The blood drenched god of disaster…

-shall soon descend upon
-this very site

PAGE2
Yoshimori: Did their numbers multiply?
-Let me think

Yoshimori: I’m sure that there was only one at the start…
Sen: Look at how weak its power is, practically non-existant!

Yoshimori: Yeah, its weak power makes it hard for me to trace its movements…
-I wonder how many more of them are here?

Shu: Tokine-kun?
Thought bubble: It’s still a puzzle, but if we don’t catch them before they multiply…

Tokine: In that case, Shu-kun,
-Since class is finishing soon,
-could you deal discreetly with the rest of the ayakashi?

Shu: Not a problem!

PAGE3
Tokiko Yukimura: Hmm?

-Even though its daytime,
-I feel an uneasiness stirring in Karasumori…

Girl:Ah
-Yoshimori’s not around

Ponytail:Yes
-He disappeared somewhere right after class!
Brunette: That’s tough, is nothing happening even though you finally got to sit next to him?
Blonde: Ah
-Speaking of which, where’s that famous transfer student?

PAGE4
Pony: Oh
-I’ve not spoken to him…
-But I guess he’s a little unusual.
Blonde: Um-hm!
-Not a type likely to turn up in a small town school like ours.

Frame2,
Brunette: Small town? I don’t think I look like that…
Blonde: Ah,
-But don’t you find him rather cute!

Pony:Oh, it really is springtime!
-Even butterflies have fluttered into our classroom.
Girls: Huh?

Girls: Butterfly? Where?
Pony: Look over there, there’s three of ‘em…

Girls………….?
Pony: Uh-oh!
-Don’t tell me they can’t see it!?

Pony: Ah, its nothing, nothing!!
Blonde: Oh, Yumi**~ You must be daydreaming a lot now that you’re sitting so close to Yoshimori!
Brunette: Daydreaming…isn’t it like hallucinating if you actually see things!?

PAGE5
Yoshimori: Woah! Sure enough…
-they’re in here too…

-We can let the shikigami deal with what’s outside.
-But we’ve got to make sure no one suspects our movements here…

-Sorry for asking Sen, but can you help me out?
-It’s okay, I don’t think we have a choice!

Yoshi: Oh----
SFX: zip! (the sound of claws being retracted)

Yoshi: Oh
-Sen! Over there, over there
Sen: Eh?

Yeah, I see ‘em. I see ‘em.

PAGE9
Girls: Oh,
-Really?

Sen: You made your move slower than me!
Girls:What a weird way to play scissors, paper, stone…

Box:Senior Dvision

Senior: Something wrong?
-nothing…
-Just a gust of wind…
Shu: That makes a hundred of ‘em!

PAGE10
Box:Hide

-Metsu!

PAGE11
-Phew
-This section is finally clear

-Ah
-Are there still so many of them…?
-I can’t even catch my breath.

Frame3
Thought bubble: But listen…!
-There’s some meaning behind their words…
Butterflies: god of…
- disaster…

Bubble: I must listen carefully… in stillness…
-Tokine

-Tokine!
-UWAHHH!?

PAGE12
Friend: Hey, what was that for! Just screaming at the sight of me…
Tokine: You’re so quiet, you startled me…
Friend: What are you talking about…

Friend: Are you feeling alright, Tokine?
Tokine: Huh!?
-Why are you asking!?
Friend: Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well...?

Bubble: Oh yeah, that’s right…
Tokine: Yes… I want to go back but I still don’t feel well enough…

Tokine: I’m skipping the next class too…to rest!
-But don’t worry, I’ll be fine! (hearts)

Friends: Tokine!?

Tokine’s so hard to understand sometimes…

Frame8
Yoshimori: Ketsu!
SFX: zip ( the sound of binding, feel free to suggest)
Senior:huh?

PAGE13
Yoshimori: Dammit, I bound a part of that guy!
-Kai! (release)

Sen: What are you waiting for, finish them off!
Yoshimori: Stop pressuring me!! Can’t you tell how hard it is to bind them over here!

Sen: Well I can’t attack them in a crowded room, you know.
-Why can’t you bind them properly,
-haven’t you been doing this job for years?

Yoshimori: Don’t use this tone on me, you outsider!
Sen: Ah~ah!? I’m not a soldier anymore!
-I don’t do this anymore! ( I’m not sure what Sen refers to. This is lit.)
Yoshimori: You…

Yoshimori: I’m already stressed out enough without your arrogant words!
Sen: What did you say!?
SFX: Knock, knock, knock

Knock

Yoshimori: !?
- That’s Grandpa’s shikigami…

PAGE14
Grandpa: I can’t believe this abnormality can occur in daylight!
Yoshimori: This is a serious matter for the lord of the land!!

Yoshimori: Have you gone senile, you old man!
Grandpa: What are you doing, you brat!!

Yoshimori: Who dresses up like that in daylight!
Grandpa: This is the official uniform for eliminating ayakashi!

Yoshimori: Its already weird enough with you showing up in school
Grandpa: But the lance you’re holding makes it a lot more suspicious!!

Grandpa: Be quiet! All I have to do is maintain a low profile!
Yoshimori: Is this called a low profile!

Grandpa: Why do you have so many issues about my uniform!
Yoshimori: These are not issues!

Sen: Wait a minute…

PAGE15
Sen: Does this mean that…
Yoshimori: I’ve already met four of the official heirs of the Hazama clan…?

Yoshimori:: Go home! Grandpa!
-It’ll be okay!!
-Listen to me!
Sen: ….So that’s how it works.
-I can’t let this opportunity escape

Sen: Yoshimori

-We’re better off with more people if things turn serious
-I think you’d best accept your Grandfather’s help

- Even if he looks suspicious, its not a problem if we eliminate the ayakashi rapidly
- Worst comes to worse, he can just change out of his uniform, right?
Yoshimori: You give the worst advice
Box: Hint: Prime suspect.


PAGE16
Yoshimori:The shikigami has vanished!
-No, it was destroyed!?
Grandfather: What?
Sen: you mean the one protecting the outside?

Sen: But I still can’t feel a big enough presence to do that!
Yoshimori: That’s the thing…
- And no dramatic change in the atmosphere, either…


PAGE17
Yoshimori: What is that…
-Sickening feeling I’ve never felt before…


PAGE18
Girl:Ah?

Girls: Psst, do you hear something?
-Ah?
-What?

Teacher: Hn?
-Who was that?
-Who was talking just now?

Teacher: I take every minute in class this class very seriously!
-Who was it?
-Talking about disaster?

PAGE19
Yokiko:A disturbance in Karasumori…
-what can be its cause…?

-What…
-Is that!?

TN:
The girl who can see spirits: Is she called Yumi?
