Mikuru: He's heading north! He's on a 50cc Honda bike with no plates!
Kou: M-Mikuru...
Ins: Oh, nicely done. Want me to give you a special route so you can catch him?
Mikuru: Sounds fun! Let's do that! Come on, Shiraishi!

Ins: Oh, sorry. The boy's going a different way.
Kou: Uh, okay!

Ins: Head to the east as fast as you can.
Kou: Got it!

Ins: Hmph, as if I'd let you fire...

Mikuru: Ohhhh!
Mikuru: If I had taken out the tire, it would have been over already! Damn old man!

Ins: Hey, I can hear you. Did you get through the alley?
Mikuru: Sorry, I said it loud just so you COULD hear me!

Ins: Hey, boy. There's a dog that way, so heads up!
Kou: Hahii! He's already chasing me...

Mikuru: !

Mikuru: No way! It's a dead end!

097
Ins: Oh, right. Climb up.
Mikuru: Huh? So tall...
Mikuru small: Why's it so freakin' tall?

Ins: If you're scared to climb it, then don't worry about it.

Mikuru: I'm on my way!

Mikuru: Hah

098
Mikuru: Okay, made it.
Mikuru: Where do I go next!?

Ins: Nope, you're at the goal.
Mikuru: Huh? But our guy's no where in...

099
Mikuru: He's here.

Mikuru: F-for real?
Mikuru: I got ahead of him...?

Thief: W-what the? ...How did?

Kou: Minkei! Stop!
Thief: Wha? Minkei...?!

Mikuru: Securing suspect!
Thief: Pugyaa

*sfx pachi pachi = clap clap

*sfx kyu = clench

Mikuru: Hah Hah
Mikuru: You were here the whole time?

101
Mikuru: Ah Ahh... I-I

102
Det: Michi, thanks for 30 years of service. Congrats! Here's to you!
Det: Congratulations! Cheers!

Mikuru: Why am I here...?
Mikuru small: Cheers
Kou: Just try to enjoy it a little, Mikuru.
Kou: It's a celebration.

Mikuru: 30 years, huh? Look at all the detectives here.
Mikuru: This place is like South Station's hang-out.

Kou: It looks like he's not really enjoying it, but everyone really wants to congratulate him...
Kou: It's kind of nice, isn't it?
Mikuru: Hmmm. By the way, Shiraishi, you know that tanuki?

Kou: Eh? Yeah, sorta...
Bar: Hahaha, tanuki, huh? That's great.

103
Bar: You know, everyone calls him that at first.
Bar: You guys too, I see.

Mikuru: What? Did you also call him that?
Mikuru: By the way, don't tell me you're...

Bar: You've got good instincts. Yeah, he's my junior.
Mikuru: I knew it! You have that kinda look! *musical note*

Bar: Haha, I didn't have the skills to be a detective, so I retired.
Bar: He's a caring person, so even now he keeps coming around.

Bar: Most of all, he loves and protects this town.
Kou: ...
Mikuru: Seems that way, but to outsiders he's really strict.

Bar: I heard.
Bar: Seems like he made you run around alot today.
Bar: Sounds like a lesson learned.

Mikuru: If I had show out the tire, it would have been over quick.
Mikuru BG: Just look at the bruises on my arm.
Mikuru: He's old school, so he just doesn't know how it's done now.

104
Bar: Listen here, little lady. It's not just the bullet of a gun that's scary.
Bar: The sounds of a shot is terrifying.

Bar: You think a city where gunfire is a casual event is a good city?
Bar: Do you think you could relax? You think that's what protecting a city means?

Bar: It's not just this case. That guy is always walking marathons around making sure this city is safe.
Bar: No matter what happens, he's always there for you. Like how he handed out instructions to you in order to keep the city safe.
Bar: It's because he's the city's "security".

Bar: And I was forced to tag along with him as he walked around everyday.
Bar: Everyday! That's amazing, right!?
Mikuru: Uh, yeah. Wait, is that why you quit?

105
Ins: Hey, I told before, didn't I?
Ins: Young people hate lectures.

Bar: Have a seat, Michi.
Mikuru: Cheers.

Ins BG: I don't need anymore beer.
Ins: Hey, Takamine, can you give me some hot sake as usual later?

Bar: You got it. I'll get some ready.
Ins: Thanks. Western foods just don't sit right with me.

Mikuru: Japanese food at an Italian restaurant?
Ins: It's not my fault. He's the one who decided to start a Western cuisine restaurant.

Mikuru: Uhm, well, ya know, sorry... I was a little hasty... when I asked for approval to fire.
Mikuru: Well maybe I was...

106
Mikuru: That's why... I...

Ins: Ah, hey.
Mikuru: ?

Mikuru Pugya!

Mikuru: Wha
Mikuru: What'd you do that...

107
Ayuna: Hello there!

Ins: Hey honey, Ayuna. Over here!
Ayuna: Hey, dad!

Mikuru BG Ayuna...

Mikuru: Dad!?
Ins: What's with you?

108
Mikuru: Eh? So that means... he must be... Shiraishi's...
Kou: Yeah, sorry. He's my dad.

Ayuna: Aw, figures Gaku wouldn't come.
Mom: Thanks as always.
Ins: Well, he's always busy, especially since he's the director.
Mikuru: Tell me a bit quicker, will ya!
Kou: C-can't breathe...

Ayuna: Even though I wrote him about it.
Ayuna: He should have popped up for your celebration.

Ayuna: Hey, Kou. Have you heard anything from him?
Kou: Like I know anything about him.

Kou: He's a guy who can only look at us from up on his cloud.
Kou: Like he would come here...

Ayuna: That's wrong! He's not just "a guy"! He's your family, isn't he!!
Ayuna sfx = Chop Chop
Kou BG: Sorry, I got it!

Chapter 47 End

Translation Page Numbering

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:30:02 +0000

Okay, some people have been curious as to what format I use for numbering pages when translating.

The pages I mark down in my translations aren't necessarily the pages in the manga. Meaning tlation page # != manga page #
The numbers are corresponding to the file number in the raw I get.

For example, for zero in, page 11 in the manga = image_0016.jpg from the raw I dled from mangahelpers, so in my translation, I use page 16 and NOT page 11.

But basically, if you start from the chapter title page in the translation and match it up to that page in the raw, you should be fine.

Sorry if that makes it harder for other people, but it's easier for me.

Translation: Zero In 46

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:56:32 +0000

Rough version of chapter 46 for my few readers.
There are just 2 spots I want to go over later (not important sections).
Aside from that, everything should be fine, so enjoy~

And yes, I still have to double check 45, I know :/

Sonobe: Nazumeccha~~n

Mikuru: You're laaate. What gives? You're the one who called me too!

Sonobe: Sorry, sorry! I got caught up at home.
Sonobe BG: Forgive me <3
Mikuru: Well, it's no biggie, since you always do it.

Sonobe: Hmm, looks like we're still lacking some members...
Sonobe: I should have them take lessons from you about arriving promptly for the mission.
Mikuru BG: Hey, is there a reason that we have our hands like this?
Mikuru: What's the deal anyway? Why'd you ask us to meet here on the last day of winter vacation?

78
Sonobe: Well that's because, on New Year's, I finally bought my digital camera <3
Sonobe: I wanted to school to take a bunch of pictures for manga materials,
Sonobe: and once we graduate, it's going to be really hard to get in here to take pictures.

Mikuru: Graduate?

Mikuru: Oh, that's right. We'll be 3rd years this spring.
Sonobe: Yeah, and I'm sure our group will be split up when we change years.
Sonobe: 2nd years as we are now might be our best time.

79
Masumi: Oh, there she is. Freakin' cold. Yo, Sonobe...
Masumi small: What're we doin' here? *****
Nono: Hey

Sonobe BG: Oh, it's the latecomers.
Sonobe: Heh, it's all about will power, Masumi. Just look at me!
Sonobe BG: *********
Mikuru: Heey!

?: Fight! Go! Fight! Go!

Masumi: Tch, no good.

Masumi: But that's normal for it to be locked, ain't it? ...What're we gonna do now?
Sonobe: Don't go worrying yourself there, Masumi-san.
Mikuru: Oh, the other two are back.

Nono: Hey, I borrowed the class key's.
Nono BG: Sorry for the wait.
Masumi: Whoa! You pulled off a huge win there!

80
Nono: Ehehe, I always forget things, so I really owe the janitor big.
Nono BG: Sorry for always asking.
Janitor BG: You again? Eh, it's fine. Here you go...
M&M small: Wow!
M&M: Who knew that the clumsy girl had this kind of skill!!

81
Mikuru: An empty school is sorta lonely.

Nono: Yeah, don't you think that when people are around, it's a place you can relax,
Nono: but when no one's around, it feels really uncomfortable.

Nono: Eh? D-did you just take a picture?
Sonobe BG: Okay, next...
Sonobe: Ya, I did!

Nono: Nooo~~~ Give it~~ I was definitely making a strange face~~~!
Masumi: Ahahaha, give it up, Nono~~
Masumi small: No chance there.
Ujiie: If you run, you'll just trip, Nono~~

82
Mikuru BG: I really like being around everyone like this.
Mikuru BG: It just feels really really cozy.

Mikuru BG: Masumi wants to be a gym teacher in the future.
Mikuru BG: According to Ujiie, Masumi was sorta a delinquent during middle school.

Mikuru BG: The one who changed her was her former middle school volleyball coach, who she really looked up to.
Masumi: Take it.
Mikuru BG: Wanting to become just like that person, that's so Masumi! *musical note*
Sonobe: Oh, nice one.

Mikuru BG: After she graduates, Ujiie is going to study abroad in Canada.
Mikuru BG: Incidentally, Masumi and Ujiie have been together since Elementary school, a famous Abbot & Costello pair.

Mikuru BG: Nono is going to a two-year college for domestic sciences.
Nono: Ch-cheese?
Mikuru BG: She wants to train to be a bride.

83
Sonobe: Come on, what're you doing, Nazumecchan? Don't just sit in the corner.
Mikuru: Huh, o-okay.

Mikuru BG: Sonobe is going to quit school after graduation.
Sonobe: Pay attention now.
Mikuru BG: She's going to help her family's flower shop.

Mikuru BG: I was really surprised when I went to her house. She actually has a big family, including 3 brothers.
BG pointing to right brother: Junior High 3rd year
Brothers: Uwaah, you're a hottie. Super cute! Hey, sis, introduce us!
BG pointing to twins: (Twins) High school 1st year/High school 1st year
Sonobe BG (top right of bubble): Idiots!
Sonobe: Get outta here you 3!

Sonobe: Hmm, well. I'd like for them to go to college...

Sonobe: See, I've got manga and all...
BG: Helping out with the inking.
Sonobe: but they don't have anything.

Mikuru BG: She said that and kept grinning like always.

Sonobe: Okay, now just a little to the right.
Mikuru BG: This kind of responsibility and care probably came from being raised among her brothers.

84
Sonobe: Okay, it's set!
?: Sonobe, hurry! Move your ass!

Mikuru BG: I can talk to them about anything.
Sonobe: Got it...!!
Mikuru BG: They're my previous friends.

Masumi: See ya!
Mikuru BG: But...
Ujiie: Bye!

Mikuru: See you.
Mikuru BG: I've kept silent about Minkei...

85
Mikuru box: That's been my rule every since I become an agent.
Mikuru box: I believed that if I did that, no one would get hurt.

Mikuru box: But I wonder about keeping silent. If I were to break my "kill" rule, at that time...
Sonobe: Well, I'm over this way.
Mikuru: Yeah, be careful going home!

Shu BG: You're just like me...

Sonobe: Okay, mom!
Mikuru Box: I wonder

Mikuru Box: if I could still smile when I'm with them?

Araki: Whoa!
Mikuru: Hacha

Araki: Y-yo Y-yo-you moron! Try being a little more delicate!
Araki BG: If this place falls on us, we'd die!
Mikuru: I-I was being super delicate! You knocked even harder than I did.
Araki: But I'm not an idiot like you!
Mikuru: Th-that's just mean...

Araki: Ugh, both of us going in would be dangerous...
Araki: Oh well, no choice... We got to go in eventually.
Araki Small: I'm still jumpy from that door.

40
Araki: Go Robo!
Mikuru small: Awww
Mikuru: I knew it...
Mikuru BG: How can he give orders that ignore human rights?

Mikuru: Jesus

Mikuru: I won't forget this, Araki!
Mikuru small: Sorry for intruding
Mikuru: I'll make you cry someday.

Mikuru: What's all this...?

Mikuru: Over that way, huh...?

Mikuru: The flooring is just weak.

Mikuru: ...you must be Aguri Takuya-san.

*sfx katakata = tap tap

44
Mikuru: I'm from Minkei. Your son put in a search request for you.
*sfx katakata = tap tap
Mikuru: Your family is very worried about you. Let's go back to your home to see them, Aguri-san.

Mikuru: ...Hm, maybe he can't hear me...?

Mikuru: E-excuse me, Aguri-san?
Mikuru: What are you typing away at?
*sfx katakata = tap tap
Mikuru: I'm from Minkei, ya know~

*sfx katakata = tap tap

Mikuru: No way, he's flying. Is this how a 70-year old is supposed to be?

Mikuru: Hm?

Mikuru: Why is he looking at this while he's typing?
Mikuru: A diary? ...Yuki?
Mikuru small: Recollections?

45
Araki: Yeah, weren't you once called the genius programmer of Seia Industries, Aguri?
Araki: MPD. We're going to take you in.

Mikuru: Wait a sec, Araki-san! Why are you the only once outside?!
Araki: Idiot, I'm obviously standing guard out here. It's common sense.
Araki: Anyways, hurry up and take him.

Mikuru: ...What do you mean take him in...?
Mikuru: Wasn't the request from his son?

Araki: Of course, it was. But there was also another.
Araki: Seia Industries also put a claim on him,

Araki: For theft.

Mikuru: I knew there was another side to it...
Mikuru: There's no way the MPD would bother to look for someone...

46
Araki: When he was 58, just short of retirement, his wife of many years passed away in a traffic accident.
Araki: 3 days after that, he vanished into thin air... along with a program under development.

Araki: They really loved each other, so it must have been a huge shock
Araki: Seia Industries works closely with the Japan Self-Defense Force, so he was in the wrong.

Mikuru: ...then wouldn't 10 years later be a little late to want that program?
Mikuru BG: It's all dusty...
Mikuru: And even though it's such an important secret, you were the only one dispatched.

Araki: That project got halted.
Araki: Fundamentally, there's no more use for that program... but
Mikuru: But?

Araki: It's because he was a genius. The logic he forms is apparently unmatched.* *Note: computer logic
*sfx katakata = tap tap
Araki: That's what they want to research.

47
Araki: Hey! Is he even listening to me, Nazume?!
Mikuru BG: Don't ask me!
Mikuru: I don't know! He's been like this the whole time!

Araki: Ugh, it doesn't matter if he's gone loopy!
Araki BG: How dare you ignore me!
Araki: Just grab him and let's get this assignment over with. After that, the experts can handle it.
Mikuru: Dun wanna.

Araki: Wha?
Mikuru: D.u.n w.a.n.n.a
Araki: D-dun... wanna? Listen here...

Araki: I'm only doing this because of the son's request!
Mikuru: Then there's no reason to take him in.
Araki: Dammit! You're still an agent you know!!

Mikuru: Besides...
Araki: What is it?!

Mikuru: He's been workin hard for 10 years now.
Mikuru: I have no idea on what, but I'd like to let him finish.

48
Mikuru: What's happening?

Araki: Hey, the servers in the room are starting up.
Araki: S-shit! The building won't be able to handle this much shaking.

Phone: Now we're married here too. Takuya & Yuki

Phone: Takuya & Yuki

Mikuru: Hey, Araki-san. What program was he working on...?
Araki: Huh?
Araki small: Why the interest all of a sudden?

Araki: Hm, I wasn't able to get the full story, but something like copying an individual's intelligence or creating an offshoot of one's self based on past memories, something like that.
Araki: Sounds like something out of a dream.
Araki: Eventually, seems like it went in a totally different direction.

51
Phone: I hope you'll be happy.

Mikuru: Reply.
*sfx bii = beep

Araki: Well then, let's go, Aguri. Come on.

Kou small: Good morning.

Mikuru: Oh, hey, Shiraishi-kun.

Mikuru: Hmm....
Mikuru: I'm just a bit worried about Lucifer and Mikhail...
Right: Mikhail
Left: Lucifer

33
Mikuru: They're always digging holes and making beds in the ground,
Mikuru: Even though they're DOGS.
*Note: DOGS should be huge in comparison to the rest of the text in the bubble.

Kou BG: Huh...
Mikuru: Strange, isn't it?

Mikuru: They're always chewing on cords, etc. and they never get any bigger...
Mikuru BG: Maybe it's the dog food? Maybe I should change brands.
Mikuru: I'm wondering what to do as their owner...
Mikuru: You have any idea, Shiraishi-kun?

Kou: Umm, Mikuru-san?
Mikuru: Oh, I knew I could count on you, Shiraishi-kun! You already have a good idea, right!!

34
BG: (Note): A prairie dog isn't an actual dog.

Mikuru: What a kidder. Didn't you know that they're called prairie DOGS?
Kou: No, you got it wrong. Prairie dog is just the animal name, but it doesn't mean that it's a breed of dog.

Mikuru: B-but it also barks just like a dog!
*sfx kyan kyan
Kou: Even though it has "dog" in its name, it's actually part of the Sciuridae (Rodent) family.* *Note: Family Sciuridae is generally made up of animals like squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, and prairie dogs

Kou: Look at its teeth.
Kou: Definitely not a dog's fang, right?

35
Mikuru: I thought it was a mutation.
Mikuru small: That's all...
Kou: Don't you mean that you just weren't properly inform when you bought them...?
Kou BG: Your way of thinking is some kind of incredible, Mikuru-san.

Mikuru: Nah, I wouldn't really call it "buying". It was more like...

Box: Free Prairie Dogs

Mikuru: They should've at least included a manual!
Mikuru BG: I feel humiliated.

Los: Aaight! Today, I'll finally teach you how to "shake hands"

Burglar: This here's the house of a known gunsmith.
Burglar: Works with cops.
Burglar: Hehe, we'll even be able to pass stuff to our revolutionary buds.

Burglar: Not only that, just a mother-daughter pair in there.
Burglar: Bein' a gunsmith, she'll be useta guns.

Burglar: We bust in there, and it's over quick.
Burglar: Damn straight.

15
Burglar: Go!

Mom: Hmm, doesn't look like anything is wrong with the barrel itself, but the rifling is really taking a beating.
BG: All because the amount of shots she fires off...

Mom: What's more, all the gun spinning while in zero mode is really rattling the gun.
Mom: This gun's got both toughness and accuracy. I wonder if that girl knows how lucky is to have it.

Mom: Well, noticing the abnormality in the rifling that quickly... I guess she passes.
Mom: I'm happy to see signs of her maturity.
Mom: I'll have to prepare a new model for her soon.

Mom: Darling <3

Burglar: Shit, she dead? I can't see anything in this darkness.
Small: My eyes hurt.
Burglar: I've still got my night vision goggles on.

20
Burglar: Shit, they broke! How the hell? Looks like only the goggles were shot.
Burglar: Damn, mine busted too! When the hell?!
Burglar: Calm down!
Burglar: H-hey, Blue, White. Where are ya? I can't see anything!

Mom: It's expensive, so I've got to make sure no blood gets on it.
Small: It's my favorite.

25
Mom: Record.

Mom: An observation on the "Bren Ten Custom".
Mom: Made the change to a SV-made cone barrel. It's 0.5 grams heavier, but it's peaking a bit too much.

Mom: I tried using armor piercing Nyclad and silver tipped Geco bullets on targets A and B in turn.* *Note: Nyclad = Nylon coated bullet designed for reduced lead emission, and Geco bullets are hollow point bullets designed for expansion upon contact, whereas armor piercing bullets pierce.
Mom: There is a slight degree of feeding trouble occuring with the Nyclad and Silver tips, could use improvement.

Mom: I personally tested and have concluded that the Bren Ten's rear sight is tough to eyeball, resulting in a .5 second delay of the first shot.
Mom: From here on, I'll also be increasing the size of the sight.

Burglar: Huu...
Burglar: Haa...
Burglar: Huu...

26
Burglar: Calm down. Relax...
Burglar: Going crazy is just what she wants...

Burglar: She ain't got no night vision goggles.
Burglar: So she can't see neither.

Burglar: Sound... If I hear her, I can figure out where she's at. Then I'll just flash her in my light real quick.
Burglar: I'll use that to get the drop on her. Just gotta listen...

Burglar: I can't get that fuckin' grin...
Burglar: outta my head! Shit!

Mom: Change the slide catcher to a long type...
Mom: Maybe I'll add a flourescent dot... hands

Mom: I'll also have to up the strength of the recoil spring.
Mom: release more smoothly...
Burglar: S-she's close... shit. Her voice is echoing off the walls... where is she?

Mom: Novak sights are better...* *Note: Novak = company that makes gun sights
BG: Where is she?
Mom: Taking Mikuru's habits into regard, the trigger... much heavier...
BG: Where is she?
Mom: The frame strength should still be fine...
Mom: Ambi-safety... probably the way to go...* *Note: Ambi-safety = Ambidextrous safety, a gun safety that can be flipped with either hand more easily.
BG: Where is she?

28
Burglar: Uwaaaah! Fuck it!

Burglar: Maria...

Officer: Th-this house itself is a shooting range, Takami-san?
Takami: Yeah, that's right. She has the authority to discharge weapons in this house, so don't forget that, newbie.
Takami: However, she has to record the entire scene and submit it to us.

Officer: And, what's this...?
Takami: That? A "range" target.

31
Officer: Just what is she...? Some kind of god?
Officer BG: They ended up with just bruises.
Takami: ...Just like Maria* *Note: Kanji reads that of "Virgin Mary/Holy Mother"

Takami: Everyone who was shot always says the same thing.

Takami: I saw...
Takami: The holy mother...* *Note: Same as before, reading = Maria, but kanji = "Virgin Mary/Holy Mother". I used the second reading this time to emphasize the point

Mom: It's been a while since I was able to get some valuable data!
Mom: Today's going to be a good day <3

Mom: Mikuru, you might also have something good happen at school <3
Mikuru BG: Thanks for your work.
Mikuru: Ah, occhan, how about havin some breakfast with us?

Mom: Please, do join us. It's a bit black though <3
Police: That's Maria...?* *Note: A joke based on the comparison to the holy mother/virgin mary

Hana: I'll show you
Hana: what defeat means!

Hana: The game is ping-pong!

Mikuru: Over here, sensei. Why ping-pong?
Mikuru BG: Pyo?
Hana: Because it's my forte!
Hana BG: You gotta problem with that?

Hana: Of course, it won't be just for shits and giggles.
Hana: If we lose, Cabbage and I will serve you for 1 month. How's that sound?
Kou: I'm in this too?!

31
Shikie: Pathetic! I have no wish to involve myself with you.
Shikie: Stop saying frivolous things and get back to work.

Sonobe: I haven't even finished the storyboard~

Mikuru: What happened to that?
Mikuru: Ya know, didn't you say before that if you only glanced at a face, an idea would come into your head?

Sonobe: I burned myself out...
Mikuru: Huh?

Sonobe: For 15 consecutive weeks, I drew new books of the Nazumecchan series.
Sonobe BG: That was the brute route...
Sonobe: Fufufufu, even the astonishing me overheated my senses. Everything is completely blank... Dammit!

Masumi Small: Makes sense, she is only half-Japanese.
Sonobe: Hey! You there! Why are you distracting everyone?! We got together here today to help me think of ideas.
Masumi: Hey, Nazume, let me see your photo albums.

Nazume: Don't ignore me!
Mikuru: Ahhh, I don't really have any old photos, cause I thought it was boring.

11
Sonobe: Well, what do you think of my manga, Nazumecchan?
Sonobe: That's the Nazumecchan series.

Mikuru: Hmmmm

Mikuru: It's interesting.
Mikuru BG: Surprisingly so...

Mikuru: I can't believe this came from those wild ideas you were drawing on the back of tests.
Mikuru: ...If you look at it like that, it's really amazing.
Sonobe: I was once part of the Wall Club* *note*
*Note: Wall club = Doujin club/Fanmade comics club

Ujiie: But the art isn't so hot.
Mikuru: Yeah, doesn't really stand out.
Masumi: Pretty dull.
Sonobe BG: You guys are mean~
Sonobe: Don't say that~

12
Mikuru: Hey, Sonobe. Is this heroine gonna hook up with this guy in the end?
Sonobe: Ohh, now you've got it, Nazumecchan!

BG: She's the heroine who has to hide the fact that she's a spy and fights.
BG: And he's the hero that understands and follows her.
BG: A tragic passionate love.

Sonobe: The story is quite simply a climax!
Sonobe: A climax of passionate love! ...passionate love...

Sonobe: But I've never experienced passionate love, so I dun get it~~
Mikuru BG: If you're not there, you can't live it, huh~~
Mikuru: And that's why we have this sleepover, Sonobe.

Mikuru BG: Besides, what's with this setup... it's like she's hit the mark on almost everything about me.
Mikuru BG: Sonobe... is quite terrifying.
Masumi: Mikuru?

13
Sonobe: So everyone who has dated a guy
Sonobe: Show of hands!

Sonobe: I've gathered such selfish girls...
Sonobe BG: Ahh, they aren't helpful at all.
Masumi: Don't act as if you're any different!

Sonobe: Hey, Nazumecchan. You've got a guy you like, right?!
Sonobe: There is, isn't there? Just say it!
Sonobe: The other girls are dead to me.
Mikuru: No... I mean, even if I were to say it...

14
Mikuru: I can't live up to your expectations.
Mikuru: For me, papa is the best.

Masumi: And there you have it. She's a daddy's girl.
Masumi BG: Is he really that good?
Ujiie: That's her problem.

Mikuru: There's nothing wrong with it.
*sfx* Dingdong

Mikuru: You can't count on me.
Mikuru: Oh right, mama is out.

Mikuru: I'm coming!
Ujiie BG: By the way, when I drew it, it comes out like this!
Sonobe BG: It's great!

15
Kou: Oh Hello, Mikuru-san.
Mikuru: Shi-Shiraishi-kun.

Mikuru: I-is something up? We getting called out?
Kou: Nah, the commander just asked me to pick up a gun for her from your mom.
Kou: Haha, it'd be great if she just picked up her own gun.

16
Sonobe: Nazumecchan, where's the bathroom~~
Mikuru: Nyaa!
Kou: Oh
Kou BG: It's Sonobe-san.

Mikuru: Sorry!
Kou: Dowah

Mikuru: Make yourself at home. It's right in there.
Sonobe: ?
Kou: Ow

Sonobe: Wasn't there just a boy here?
Mikuru: N-no, course not. It was just a newspaper solicitor. A so-li-ci-tor.

17
BG: This is really bad...
BG: I don't know how it happened, but having this girl known things is dangerous!
BG: Somehow, I have to make it out of here...

Mom: Ara, welcome, Shiraishi-kun. Come on in.
Mikuru: Ara
Kou: No, right now I'm a bit busy...

Mikuru: Mama~~~!

Mikuru: *symbols*
Mom: ?

Sonobe: Sh-Shiraishi-kun... why are you here?
Sonobe: No way... don't tell me.

18
Mikuru: S-Sonobe, it's not what you think... Y-you see, it's ya know
Sonobe: What? What? <3
Kou: You see, I was just asked by someone to come here...
Sonobe: You were asked? To do what? <3
Kou: Um, w-well that is...

*sfx*
Mikuru BG: Mama~~ Do something, since this is your fault!
White BG: Eye contact!

Sonobe: What? <3
Mikuru BG: Hey, do something~ do something right this instant~
Sonobe: What? <3
Mom: Ahh, Mikuru is asking for help with such a dreadful look.

Mom: I see. She wants to keep Shiraishi-kun a secret.
Mom: Well, there's not helping it, since she's still a young girl.

Mom: Fufufu, this is a chance for me to show my stuff as a mom!
Mom: Leave it to me, Mikuru!
Mom: Ah, he's just...

19
Mom: an non blood-related sibling.

20
Mikuru BG:: A sibling~~~
Mikuru BG: Sibling~~~

Sonobe: Thank you God~~~

Sonobe BG: That's it. Actually, they are not blood-related siblings... Furthermore, with this...
Sonobe BG: ...If it's like this, then like that...
Sonobe BG: and then mess it around~~

21
Sonobe: Ahahahahaha! I've got it~~
Sonobe: The demon inside of me is awakeeeee.

Eliza: ...Aww, again with this...

Gran: I'd do anything for my cute Eliza.
Gran: There, there.

Eliza: Aww, Grandma is too nosy.
Eliza: If a guy gets even a bit close to me, she goes on a rampage.

08
Mom: You should feel happy. It shows how much your grandma loves you.
Mom: I don't really like those flashy guys from around here either.
Eliza: I feel the same way.

Eliza: But the way it is now, if a really cool guy shows up, he'll be torpedoed by Grandma.
Eliza: If I don't end up married, who's going to take responsibility.

Mom: You can't help being cute.
Mom: You're the spitting image of me when I was young. And that's high praise.
Eliza: I seriously don't wanna believe that...

Mom: If he was here now, Grandma could also take care of her own health.

Mom: Gusta... What happened?
Mom: Even though Grandma also took kindly to you and beefed up...

Eliza: The training in order to protect was too tough and he ran away...

09
Mom: All set!! Here's mushroom soup and bread.
Mom: Be a dear and deliver this lunch to your Granma.

Eliza: Man, even though she's way past 70, she trains everyday at the top fo the mountain in her training shed.
Eliza: Grandma sure is something.

Wolf: Hey wormy,
Wolf: Find anything you can eat?

Eliza: Hello!
Elize: I can't see your face, but is something wrong?

Wolf: Huh?

Eliza: the hell!!

Wolf: Uwaa

12
Eliza: What're you up to!!
Eliza: And what is this monster?

Eliza: Don't think I'm just a pretty face!!
Eliza: Even when Grandma ain't around, I'm good enough to protect myself!

Wolf: Wa... wait a second...

Wolf: This here's Wormy. He's my pet worm.
Wolf: Usually, he's very gentle and doesn't do anything.
Wolf: When he's hungry, he gets a bit excited.

Eliza: Ahh~~ Grandma's soup!

Eliza: What am I going to do...
Wolf: Strange. He's not a normal creature. He only eats poison.

13
Eliza: Hey!! Did you just call my mom's soup poison?!
Wolf: But he really only eats poison.

Eliza: Hm? Hold on.

Eliza: Don't tell me...
Eliza: Ah!! I knew it.

Eliza: Mom used KO mushrooms by mistake!!
Eliza: She's done it before. Not again~~
Sign: If eaten, the body will be knocked out.
Wolf: Ahh, that must have been what set him off.

Eliza: So this is why
Eliza: that wormy, was it?
Eliza: attacked me?
Wolf: Sorry about that.

Eliza: Man~~ What am I going to do about Grandma's lunch...

Eliza: Eh?! Did you just?!

Eliza: No, why did you eat that?
Eliza: Are you ok?!

14
Eliza: Okay. He ought to get better in a bit now.
Eliza: Carrying him was tough.

Eliza: Ughh~~
Eliza: I'm all sweaty and dirty.

Eliza: Hmm~~

Eliza: He shouldn't wake up for a while,
Eliza: so it should be fine...

15
Eliza: Hah, I feel refreshed. <3

Eliza: Hm?

Eliza: Ahhhh!!!

Eliza: Noooo Yaaaa
Eliza: Noooo

Eliza: Why did you have to wake up~~~?!
Eliza: Waaaah, you saw me naked!

Wolf: I... I'm sorry...
Eliza: Don't be lookin' over here!!!
Wolf: I'm really sorry.

Eliza: If you see anymore, I won't ever forgive you!!
Eliza: Cover your eyes!

Wolf: I swear... I didn't see anything.
Eliza: You're such a liar!!

18
Wolf: It's true I saw you, but...
Wolf: I was still so out of it, that I barely remember anything...

Wolf: You're so beautiful...
Wolf: that everything went white and I was blinded.
Wolf: I swear...

Eliza: Je
Eliza: Jeez...
Eliza: What're you saying~~...

Wolf: I'm a bit late in saying it, but my name is Wolf.
Eliza: I... I'm Eliza.

Wolf: I came from a far-away city to look for someone.
Eliza: I see. No wonder you didn't know.
Eliza: Hmmmm

Eliza: ...wait,
Eliza: Who cares about that!!!

19
Eliza: What are you going to do about my clothes?!
Eliza: Wormy ate them!
Wolf: Wormy did? They must have had soup on them...
Wolf: There were mushrooms in the soup after all.

Eliza: If I don't have any clothes, I can't move from here.

Wolf: Then I'll go quick to a nearby house and grab a change of clothes for you.
Wolf: I'll be back soon, so don't move!!

Eliza: There's a training shed close by on top of the mountain.
Eliza: My Grandma will be there!
Wolf: Got it!! Wait here.

Eliza: This day sucks.

Eliza: But, he seems honest...
Eliza: Not bad at all.
Eliza: And his name... was Wolf?

20
Eliza: I hope Grandma is at the shed.

Eliza: Eh? If she's there...
Eliza: wouldn't that be really bad?

Eliza: Oh crap!! If he says my name, there's no way he's gonna get out of there safely!
Eliza: She'll blast him into orbit!

Eliza: I have to get there fast!!

Eliza: Aww, I forgot!
Eliza: There's no way I can go there naked...

Eliza: !!
Eliza: The wind must of blown by hood over there!

Eliza: No helping it, since I'm in a rush...
Eliza: Should be okay.

21
Eliza: Wolf!
Eliza: Wolf!!

Eliza: Hah... after coming this far,
Eliza: I should be there soon.
Eliza: Hah
Eliza: I think...

Eliza: Not good.
Eliza: Wolf!!!

22
Wolf: Hey, Wormy!!
Wolf: Spit her out!!
Wolf: Barf her back up quick!!!

Eliza: What's going on?

23
Wolf: Wormy ate your Grandma!!
Eliza: Are you serious?!

Eliza: So, she's in there?!

Eliza: Hey!! Let her go!

Eliza: Give me back Grandma,
Eliza: you little!!

Eliza: Kyaaaaaaa

Eliza: Ahh

24
Eliza: Kuh...

Eliza: My Grandma is...
Eliza: the most important thing in the world to me...

Eliza: You think that you can get away with doing that to her?!

Eliza: Hah

Eliza: Hmm~~~!!

Eliza: If my Grandma is in there!!
Eliza: Give her back right now!!

25
Eliza: Where are you?

Sign: Poisonous mushroom soup stain

Eliza: Hey...
Eliza: Nooo~~~~!!

Eliza: Hey, no!
Eliza: Let goo

Wolf: Wormy~~~~

26
Wolf: You even ate Eliza!
Wolf: Why would you do that?

Wolf: You ate such a great person!
Wolf: People are the exact opposite of your food!!
Wolf: You stupid thing!

Wolf: I'm sorry, Eliza... forgive me!
Wolf: I wanted to get to know you better too~~

Wolf: ?!!

27

28
Wolf: ?!!

Wolf: Eliza!!!

29
Wolf: You okay?
Eliza: Uh...

Eliza: I'm fine.

Eliza: I also saved my Grandma, somehow...

Eliza: Ah

30
Eliza: Sorry...
Eliza: I was so embarassed, that I... did that.
Wolf: Nah, it's cool.

Eliza: By the way, Grandma...

Eliza: She's like a shadow of her former self, but even smaller...

Wolf: Yeah, she's like a different person compared to before she was eaten...

Wolf: !!

31
Wolf: Grandma, don't tell me you're Mary-san?
Grandma: ?
Grandma: Yes, I'm Mary.

Wolf: I knew it...
Wolf: I was asked by Gusta to come here and cure you.

Eliza: Gusta... you mean, my father?
Eliza: What do you mean "cure"?

Wolf: Wormy is a creature that eats poison.
Wolf: He can also suck out the poison in people's bodies.
Wolf: Gusta-san wanted me to have Wormy suck out the poison in Mary-san's body.

Grandma: So my daughter's husband knew about it.
Grandma: That my body
Grandma: came from was created through all my efforts with doping...

Eliza: !!

32
Grandma: I enhanced my strength abnormally by taking tons of medicinal herbs.
Grandma: My bodies was actually near its limits...

Grandma: It was all to protect you.
Eliza: Grandma!!

Grandma: But along the way, you also got all strong yourself.
Grandma: Eliza, your spin kick is quite splendid... I was shocked.

Eliza: That's right!! I'm strong, so now it's my turn to protect you.
Eliza: I'm going to pay you back double for everything, so you better be ready.

Eliza: But I didn't know Wormy was going to suck the poison out of Grandma's body,
Eliza: So, I cut him right in two...
Eliza: I really did something bad...

Wolf: Don't worry about that at all.

33
Wolf: If he gets cut in half, he just winds up as two.

Eliza: Thanks, Wormy.

Eliza: Oh, you too, Wolf.
Worm: Nah, it was nothing.

Eliza: ...You know... I also...
Eliza: would like to get to know you better...

34
Wolf: ...Haha

Grandma: Eliza,
Grandma: I'll give this to you.

Grandma: You can use it as a new hood.

Eliza: Wow, it's a red hood.
Eliza: Thanks <3

35
Eliza: It's a bit long, bit if I tie it like so.

Wolf: It looks great on you, Eliza.
Eliza: You think so?

Eliza: I'll treasure it, Grandma!!
Grandma: Good...

?: After this, people began to call her Little Red Riding Hood,
?: because Eliza was always wearing her treasured red cloth as a hood.

36
?: Some time later, the now-unused shed became Wolf's home.
?: And Little Red Riding Hood spent her time together with Wolf and her family
?: living happily ever after.

Grandma: ?!!

Grandma: Crap... That was actually my traditional loincloth...
Grandma: Well, she seems to like it, so no matter...

?: The title was a little off, so I'll be correcting it now.
?: Quite a happy ending.

One-shot End

Endnotes: The end joke is that the author added a "fun" to the title, to make it "Aka(fun)zukin Eriza", but I don't really get it. It could "fun" which I think is the sound sumo wrestlers make when they stomp... but I'm not sure. If anyone knows, let me know :)

Adara: did a good job today.

Liu: Hyaa, who are you?!!
Adara: I'm Adarapata-san.*
*Note: Adding -san to your own name is super conceited/arrogant.

Liu: Ahh, this is
Liu: the first time to meet you.

Liu: Nice to meet you. My name is Liucica.
Adara: I couldn't care less about that.

Liu: Huh?

Adara: What about the enemy?

Liu: Enemy?

29
Adara: I contacted you today, remember? I said an enemy was coming to this harbor.
Liu: Ahhh, sorry. I totally forgot...

Adara: You
Adara: You forgot?!

Liu: The store is really busy.
Liu: There's only Marcale-san, a part-timer, and myself running the shop.
Liu: Everyday it's already hectic.

Adara: I told you about it!! /Me/!!
Adara: I said to hold him until I got here!!
Adara: I even told you about his features, didn't I?

Liu: I forgot...

Liu: Ahh, but now that I think of ut...
Liu: There was no one who seemed that evil among today's customers...

Adara: Evil?

Liu: Yes.
Liu: Our magic is for turning badguys into mincemeat!

Adara: ...
Adara: Yeah...

Adara: Oh right, there are these types too.
Adara: Man... If you only have a gift, they all will try and become your pal.
Liu: Umm... I'm sure it was here.

Liu: Here it is.
Liu: I wrote it down here, so I wouldn't forget it.

Liu: We, the 30 Fingers of the Goddess,
Liu: were blessed with Magical Power from the Goddess
Liu: in order to fight the evil infesting this world.

Liu: But you know...
Liu: Since I became a Magic User, I've never fought any evil.

31
Liu: Other members of the 30 Fingers are trying their best all around the world.
Liu: I often hear rumors of them. They're all amazing...

Liu: Especially Zeal Boy-san, who is also on this continent!
Liu: He even stopped a war with his magic power...
Liu: That's amazing! I was so moved!

Adara: Oh? Now I really want to meet this Zeal Boy as soon as possible.

Liu: All I do is make bread everyday to the best of my ability.
Liu: I still have to prepare for tomorrow, today.

Liu: Ah, right! You must be hungry, Madarapata-san.
Adara: It's Adarapata.

Liu: I'll gave you a sample of some new bread I made. Please have some.
Liu: If it's good, I'll put it out in the store tomorrow.

32
Liu: Here, please try some, Adarapata-san.

Liu: What do you think?

Adara: You often send bread to the city orphanage.

Liu: Yes! They took care of me for a long time...
Liu: Ah

*sfx*

Adara: You disgust me.

34
Adara: I absolutely hate bread.

Adara: Great work!
Adara: You quite successfully let Tito
Adara: get away.

Adara: My "gokuraku renben" is magic that manipulates a soul's energy.
Adara: I can connect to comrades' souls and converse with them, even when we're seperated.
Adara: I can pull out a soul and manipulate it.

Adara: Tito's soul energy is unique. I can figure out roughly where they are.
Adara: ...But, only roughly.
Adara: Roughly, meaning I have no idea where they are.

Adara: Useless...
Liu: Please apologize.

35
Adara: Me?
Adara: To you?

Liu: To the bread you just stepped on.

Liu: This bread wasn't made just for you to step on it!!!
Liu: So apologize!!!

Adara: This girl...

Adara: I don't need her...
Adara: She's useless.

Adara: This kind of vulnerable hearted girl

Chapter 9: Tito and A New Beginning

Tito: Doesn't exist?
Tito: I was sure I could go either via Pull Port or Badre Harbor.
*sfx*
Tito: "The times were
Sunday: 6:25, 9:40
Monday: 8:05
Tuesday: 7:55
Wednesday..." *The in quotes section is all in 1 bubble*

Clerk: But that timetable was from decades ago.
Tito: Huh? It's different now?

Tito: I want to go to Acroa's Memoria.*
*Note: Acroa = continent and Memoria = country
Tito: Which route would take me the closest?

Clerk: Look it up yourself!
Tito: Next in line...
Book: Travel
Tito: Hmm...

Tito: Having ancient knowledge isn't useful at all.

Joggie: Hey, you!
Joggie: Do you know who I am?

162
Tito: ...Sorry, I don't know who you are.
Joggie: ...
Book: Travel

Joggie: Ohhh, I see.
Joggie: Well, if you hear my name, I'm sure you'll know.

Joggie: The comedian,
Joggie: "Pocopem" Joggie!

Tito: Sorry, never heard of you.
Joggie: Whaaat?!!

Joggie: Everyone should know the name!!!
Joggie: You should know it!! Look!! You've just forgotten, I'm sure!! Look!!

Tito: I'm confident in my memory. I never forget anything that I've heard or seen even just once.
Tito: People's faces and names, scenery, compositions, conversations I heard... I remember everything, but I don't you.
Joggie: My bad on this one.

163
Tito: Furthermore, even if I only see a fragment of something, from that fragment, I can almost perfectly create a complete picture by analogical reason.
Tito: I also have an ability called "Zenri zansou ganzu", but I honestly have never met you before.
Joggie: Please stop. I'm gonna cry.

Joggie: Kaah!! It's because we're in this backwater region!!
Joggie: Famous as I am, I guess even my fame hasn't reached here...

Joggie: ...
Joggie: Where you headed, boy?

Tito: To Memoria.
Tito: on the Acroan Continent.

Joggie: Memoria... number one nation in the world...
Joggie: Now that was a great place...

Tito: You've been there?
Joggie: Yes.

164
Joggie: The center of the world, Memoria Kingdom.
Joggie: It runs the world's politics and economy... It basically has a hegemony in its hand.

Joggie: And it's also known as
Joggie: The Magic Kingdom.

Tito: ...

Joggie: But, I don't know anything about magic and the life.
Joggie: To me, Memoria was the Entertainer Kingdom.

165
Joggie: Anyhow, that place is the center of the world.
Joggie: And the entertainment world is no exception.

Joggie: To be popular there is to achieve world recognition...
Joggie: Huh? My lighter.
Joggie: A light.

Tito: Here yo go.
Joggie: Ohh, thanks.

Joggie: ...Aw, heck. Why should I hide it.
Joggie: I also tried my hand in Memoria way back...

Joggie: Hey, hey. Kids ain't supposed to have lighters.
Tito: You used to live in Memoria!

Tito: So then, you must know about it very well, right?!
Joggie: You look like you want to ask me something.

Tito: Was Barret doing well?!

166
Joggie: Barret?
Joggie: Barret, as in King Barret?
Clerk: Just a minute, you!

Joggie: He's getting up there in age, but he was still very active.
Clerk: There's no smoking here.

Clerk: Get out of here!
Joggie: Uwa! Hold on, what!!
Tito: I see...

BG: He's still doing well...
Joggie: Hey! Do you know who I am!?
Joggie: I'm Pokopem Joggie!!!
Joggie: Dowa! Wait!! Hey!!

Joggie: I was there 5 years ago, so I'm not really sure.
Joggie: Well, if something had happened, the whole world would be buzzing.
Joggie: But in this backwater region, information like that might not get through.

167
Tito: But, King Barret is alive and well!
Tito: The traditional magic tournament still goes on, right?!

Joggie: The one that happens every 4 years?
Joggie: Who knows.
Joggie: I don't have any interest in magic.

Joggie: ...But, magic...

Joggie: For generations, since the royal family of Memoria Kingdom has been inheriting magic power,
Joggie: it is called the Magic Kingdom, but

Joggie: Now, for some reason, magic users are making their influences felt all over the world.
Joggie: Not only Memoria, now every place is a magic kingdom.
Tito: Eh?

Tito: What do you mean?!

Joggie: There's nothing to it.
Joggie: Like, dodgy characters are appearing in swarms.

Tito: Are they true magic users?

168
Joggie: Who knows? It's causing quite a stir in the world.

Adara: Magicians that appeared in swarms around the world.
Adara: They're talking about us.

169
Tito: Could you tell me more about it?!
Joggie: I don't really know much about it.
Joggie: From the start, I had no interest.

Adara: ...Since you lived out in the middle of nowhere...
Adara: at the edge of this world,

Adara: you've become out of touch with world affairs.
Adara: Well...
Adara: Of course, because of that, you were able to hide from us reeeeeally well.

Adara: I see...
Adara: You're going to get going...?

Abyaku: Adara...
Abyaku: pata...

Abyaku: Hah

Adara: Good work today, Abyaku-san.

Abyaku: Adarapata...

Adara: You were really so close...
Abyaku: Adarapata!!

Adara: Your opponents were just a level above you.
Abyaku: Adarapata!!!

Abyaku: Let me go again!! This time, I'll obliterate Tito and the fox.
Abyaku: I'm not satisfied like this!! I should have won!!
Abyaku: I was winning!!!

Abyaku: ...But, not like this. My right eye...
Abyaku: Before I knew it, I could see outta my right eye. And the holes in my arms all closed up.

Abyaku: Give me Blue Rings again!!
Abyaku: Adarapata, please ask them!!

172
Adara: That's enough already.

Abyaku: ...

Adara: But I also miscalculated.
Adara: In all the years that they've lived...

Adara: I never thought that they would master their magic to that degree...

Adara: And those other two still exist within Tito,
Adara: Aqua and Priscilla.

Adara: There's a high chance that those girls may be magic users.

173
Adara: I underestimated them a bit too much.
Adara: We pretty much went without getting any information.

Adara: I never would thought... it wouldn't be enough.

Adara: A Thirty Fingers of the Goddess super-class fighter
Adara: You're one of them, so I took you here with me.

Abyaku: ...Adarapata. You're also part of the Thirty Fingers.
Abyaku: I'm pretty damn sure we were told to leave them alone...
Abyaku: You're still going to move?

Adara: You're still worrying about that?
Adara: My job is mainly to convey informative news...
Adara: I'm not an offensive magic user.

Adara: ...Besides, I've told you many times.
Adara: I /hate/ getting my hands dirty.

Adara: ...But

174
Abyaku: ?!

Abyaku: A...
Abyaku: Ada
Abyaku: Adarapata...?!

Adara: But this way...
Adara: I don't have much magical power,
Adara: But with just a little power, I can pull out the soul of some trash...

175
Abyaku: Uh

Abyaku: A...
Abyaku: dara...
Abyaku: ...pa

Adara: If it's killing...
Adara: Allow me to do it...
Adara: It would be my pleasure...

Abyaku: Ada... rapata
Abyaku: ....A

176
Adara: No, I also feel...
Adara: that it's a huge waste.

Abyaku: Ada...
Abyaku: A
Abyaku: da...

Adara: Losing a skilled person like yourself is... really a waste.
Adara: You were so easy to use too...

Adara: But then...
Adara: you also got robbed of your magic power...
Adara: It'd be worthless if you even existed, don't you think?

Abyaku: Ga...
Abyaku: Aga...

Adara: You were really close...
Adara: I'm afraid there's no choice... sorry.

Abyaku: Adarapata...

Adara: But you know...
Adara: Right now, not only are you not use, but you also know secrets.

Abyaku: I am...

Abyaku: I am...

177
Adara: Abyaku, I need your abilities.
Adara: I want you to help me out.

Adara: am needed.
Adara: You have a heart stained with violence.
Adara: This world rejects your existence...
Adara: am needed.
Adara: I don't care about any of that.
Adara: You have skills as a magic user. That's all I care about...

Tito: First, I cross over to Arcana and then head towards Paradia Airport.
Tito: From there, I can go to Memoria.

Tito: Don't worry! I remember it all.
Tito: Thank you for telling me about everything.

Tito: Well then...
Joggie: Hey!

Joggie: I've never seen anyone that starts out on a journey making that kind of face.

Joggie: Reading faces is one of my strong points.
Joggie: Are you really enjoying yourself when you watch my performance? Are you laughing from your heart?

182
Joggie: I can't read anything when I look at your face.

Joggie: Just what... are you going to do?
Tito: This is for you.

Tito: When you were talking earlier, you had a really great expression.
Tito: Sorry for drawing it without asking.

Tito: Well, I guess it's goodbye
Tito: I'll be heading off.

Tito: Good luck... I hope you become the world's best comedian.

Brike: Well, if it ain't Adarapata!
Adara: Here's the thing. For the moment, they've cleared the first stage.
Adara: I wanted to let you know that I believe they're currently on passage.
Adara: Umm... now where should I start.

Adara: As you can guess from the results, I failed.
Adara: I couldn't hold them up.
Adara: I came in contact with Tito, but my plans were defeated.
Adara: I took Abyaku, the one in charge of this land, but
Adara: He lost quit superbly.

186
Adara: Tito has become a magic user.
Adara: And there's a good chance the other two have as well...

Brike: A magic user...
Brike: And he beat Abyaku...
Brike: Is he strong?

Adara: Oh, not at all.
Adara: He can't compare to you by far, Brike Broide-san.

Adara: Won't you leave this to me...?
Adara: There's much more important work you could be doing, am I right?

Adara: Only killing Tito, Aqua, and Priscilla...
Adara: Such menial tasks are much more suited to an underling than yourself.
Brike: ...Well, you have a point...

Adara: It seems they're heading to Memoria.
Adara: In order to get there, first they should be making their way towards Paradia Airport on Arcana.

Brike: I understand... As for which of the 30 Fingers will command...

187
Brike: Adarapata.
Brike: I leave it to you.

Adara: The 30 Fingers that were
Adara: on Arcana are

Adara: Zeal Boy, Kokuma, Liucica, Dorchill, Clime, Gusharo...

Miya, that betrayal is hurts

004
Miya: Damn it all to hell!!

Heku: Miya-sama, please calm down.

005
Miya: Does it look like I can stay calm right now?!
Miya: No way! No way in hell!!
BG: Higashikazuno Miya

Yoko: Please try. After all, I brought snacks to our tea ceremony...
BG: Suidobashi Yoko
BG: Hekusokazura no Kimi
Heku: Well, that was just wonderful of you, Yoko-san.

Kazuko: He's completely fit in now,
Kazuko: Tanaka Tetsurou that is.
BG: Asakusabashi Chunko
Chunko: Oh no! Mentioning that name is forbidden!

006
Miya: That's right! Tanaka Tetsurou!!
Miya: Because he's here, I can't calm down!!

Miya: His existence is just!!
Miya: Unpleasant, nasty, and disgusting!!

Miya: If I had to put it in one word,
Miya: Hateful.

Yoko: B-Being in the Gokoukai has turned scary.
Heku: Aww, how cute.
Miya: Hey, you two!! Are you even listening?!

007
Kazuko: Miya-sama, I want you to know
Kazuko: that I've worked hard to design a plan for you.

Miya: Ohh, that sounds great.
Kazuko: If this plan happens to succeed...

Kazuko: I would like you to...
Kazuko: grant me Hekusokazura no kimi's title.

Heku: ...
Heku: I don't mind that at all.

Kazuko: I'll just whisper it in your ear.

008
Heku: Keeping secrets is forbidden!!

Miya: That's a good idea.

Kazuko: This plan is bound to succeed.
Kazuko: I'm sure of it...

Miya: This is amazing! Just splendid, Kazuko-san!!
Kazuko: This is all for Miya-sama...

Miya: Well, what's the plan's name?
Kazuko: What should we call it? <3

009
Heku: Operation Super Hammer
Heku: Commence!!

Miya: What's that?
Kazuko: That's just...

Tetsu: Aachew!!

010
Asuka: What's wrong, Tetsurou-san?
Tetsu: I feel a bit chilly. I wonder if wearing just a T-shirt was a bit much.

Tetsu: I really want a uniform quick.

Tetsu: Oh, it's Yamada-san.

Yamada: Oh, Asuka-san and Tanaka-iinchou.
Yamada: Have you already recovered?

Asuka: Yeah, I'm feeling great.
Tetsu: And, I'm not iinchou anym...
Yamada: Oh!
Yamada: I totally forgot.

Tetsu: Just call me Tetsurou.

011
Yamada: I-I've got to run!
Tetsu: Yamada-san?!

Tetsu: Wonder if I offended her or something...?

Sign: First Year Sake Class
Satou: ...And so,

Satou: it looks like you just ran away.

012
Yamada: You probably can't understand with that kind of calm attitude...
Satou: Well if you have problems saying his name without an honorific,

Satou: How about a nickname like Tanapii or Nakatetsu?
Satou: Maybe Tanacchi?
Satou: Or even Tetsutetsu...

Yamada: You're too much, Satou-san.
Satou: Or Tecchii for example.
Kazuko: You two shouldn't be so giddy.

Yamada: ...Ah.
Satou: Hey, who said that just now?!

013
Yamada: Sa-Satou-san!

Satou: Well, it's incredibly rude!
Satou: It's gotta be someone in this room.

Kazuko: I wonder if you can stay so cheerful
Kazuko: after you have a look at this.

014
Yamada: Satou-san, don't do it!

Satou: So what kind of bother are you inflicting on us this time?

Satou: What the hell is this?!

Satou: What's with these impossible-like things?
Kazuko: There's nothing like that there.

015
Kazuko: Clubs with only 1 club member will receive...
Kazuko: no budget, right, Yamada-san?

Yamada: Ah...
Asuka: Crab bread. <3

Kazuko: Lookie lookie! The prince has appeared!
Yamada: Kyaa

Tetsu: Yamada-san!

016
Tetsu: Are you alright?
Yamada: Ah, I'm sorry. I...

Kazuko: If you cry your eyes out, he'll probably comfort you.
Satou: Iidabashi!!

Tetsu: What's wrong, Yamada-san?

Tetsu: Yamada-san!

017
Tetsu: Satou-san, what happened to Yamada-san?

Satou: ...It looks like the Creative Writing club

Satou: will have its club status revoked.

Yamada: The Creative Writing club has continued since it's foundation
Yamada: only to find its demise at my hands...

Akio: You over there, why are you hugging that tree?

018
Akio: You're crying, aren't you?
Yamada: Y... You're
Yamada: from Tanaka-kun's dorm...

Akio: If someone is crying in the east, I will swoop in to save you.
Akio: If someone is sad in the west, I will risk my life for you.

Akio: I will support the weak against the strong.
Yamada: Who is this girl?!

019
Akio: Lightspeed Warrior Suzuka Akio!
Akio: Appearing like the gale winds!!

Akio: How about it? Tell me what's got you down.
Yamada: There's no escape!

Akio: Come now.
Akio: Don't hold back.

020
Akio: Oh, that's what happened... If it goes like that, then the Special Effects club
Akio: will get that note too.
Yamada: So it'll go that far...

Akio: But, I won't lose.
Yamada: What's that?

Akio: I plan to apply again
Akio: as "The Special Effects Club RX".

Yamada: You're amazine, Suzuka-san.
Yamada: I could never have... the courage to do that...

Yamada: Su-Suzuka-san.

021
Akio: Is your youth shining?
Akio: Are you hiding your true self?

Yamada: Suzuka-san?
Yamada: She started singing?!

Akio: Will your life satisfy you?
Akio: Are you comprimising for a tiny bit of happiness?

Akio: There is something more extensive than the whole universe.
Akio: That is...

022
Akio: An individual... human's heart...

Yamada: This is strange. Really strange.
Yamada: Why aren't my tears stopping?

Akio: If you...
Akio: want love,

Akio: without fear of error,

Yamada: Eh?!

023
Akio: The way you are
Yamada: Noooooo

Yamada: Mom! Mom!

024
Tetsu: We didn't find Yamada-san. What should we do...?
Satou: It's just like the culture festival again.

Tetsu BG: Ahaha
Tetsu: Guess so.

Satou: ...I have to say it.

Tetsu: Satou-san?
Satou: After the culture festival, Tanaka-iinchou took a string of days off.

Tetsu: Ah, she was hurt or something.
Satou: Sort of.

025
Satou: Since then, she was lonely, because you didn't see you.

Tetsu: T-There's no way.
Satou: Yeah, you're right.

Tetsu: Ah, you were joking.

Satou: And if I wasn't,
Satou: what then?

Tetsu: Ah?!

026
Tetsu: A UFO?!
Satou: No! You've got to be kidding!!

Satou: I'm scared of aliens!!
Tetsu: No, It's not an alien. Look!

Yamada: I'm flying. Flying...

027
Akio: I'll expose it to the sun.

Satou: It /is/ and alien!!
Tetsu: Akio-chan, you forgot to hide your abilities...

028
Satou: Over here! There's an alien right here.
Tetsu: Sa... Satou-san.

Satou: Y-Yamada-sa...
Yamada: I... flew.

Akio: An enemy?!
Tetsu: Yamada-san! Satou-san!!

029
Gantai: I took them out.

Gantai: But because of this, those two
Gantai: will forget about what just happened.

Gantai: Flying is straaange.
Akio: ...yeah, you're right...

Akio: It's strange...
Tetsu: Akio-chan.

030
?: Cheering someone up
?: is tough stuff.

Akio: Thanks alot, Gantai-chan.
Gantai: Your welcome.

Tetsu: Up until now and from now on,

Akio: Well, I'll carry these two to the nurse's office.

Tetsu: I-I'll help you too.
Tetsu: I'll have to do things like this.

031
Tetsu: Until those bodies become something I'm used to...

Yamada: Kyaa

Yamada: A dream?!

Yamada: I've got this sensation all over my body.

032
Satou BG: Alien...
Satou BG: An alien...

Akio: Awawa, where is Yamada-san going?

Fujita: Thanks for coming. Actually, I have something important to tell you...

Fujita: Oh, incidentally, this is Minkei's mascot, "Shomin-kun". Hahaha*
*Note: Shomin-kun = "Average Joe" or "Mr. Commoner"
Fujita Small: I'm sure you know him, but just in case say hello <3
Hana: Y-Yo!
Everyone: Uwaa, we're in for it...
Everyone Small: The commander ain't smiling.
Mikuru BG: It's Shomin-kun.
Mikuru: Got it.

Piece:42 Overload
Everyone: Eh?

152
Everyone: A campaign to increase the mascot's popularity?!
Hana: Why are we doing that?
Hana Small: Again?

Fujita BG: Ufufu
Fujita: I already said we're doing it! Even though this guy is /sooo cute/, he's not popular at all!!

Fujita: We developed the goods, but they're not selling!
Fujita: The only thing going up right now is the money we're spending on him... even though
Fujita: He's /soo cute/!
BG items (right to left, top to bottom)
Mousepad, Strap, Figure
Panic Goods (BG: I will protect you)
Prize, Teacup, Manjuu*, T-Shirt
*Note: Manjuu = steamed bun with filling

Fujita: He should be loved by people, so it's Minkei's fault, right? That's what "they" thought!*
*Note: They = those above her, ie her bosses
Fujita: That's where this campaign comes in! Not only that, we have the honor of being in charge!

153
Fujita: Ahhh, my stomach hurts...
Fujita: Shit, why do we have the honor to clean up their mess! Damn!
Hana: Being middle-management is tough.
Hana: And that's the truth too... boss

Kou: If you don't mind an elementary schooler going around, I'll do it.
Kou: But, what did "they" want us to do?

Fujita: Using Shomin-kun, they want us to persuade
Fujita: a vicious criminal.

Mikuru: Huh?

154
Reporter: Ohh, he stood up!
Reporter: Shomin-kun, stood up!
Reporter Small: He's amazing!!

Reporter: Minkei's huge campaign, "Shomin-kun's pure persuasion" began 8 minutes ago.

Reporter: He's going to continue fighting without using Minkei's weapons.

Reporter: His opponent is Nakagawa Kentaro (43), a single businessman with illegal weapons possession.
Criminal: Stay away! Don't come any closer~~!
Reporter: There are no hostages, so he might be able to talk him down safely!

Shomin: Hey, I'm Shomin-kun. I'm your frie...

155
Shomin: nd.

Reporter: Ahh, shots were fired. He's being shot at!
Kou: C-Commander... this is bad.
Reporter: Shomin-kun is in trouble!
Fujita: Ah, yeah it is. Shomin-kun doesn't use "I (boku)", but "I (jibun)".*
Fujita Small: Don't forget you're in character.
*Note: Hana used "boku" on the last page, which would make Shomin-kun a guy, but Shomin-kun is a character... so that's why Fujita is upset.
Kou: No, no. Shouldn't we be worried about Hana-san.
Kou Small: At least a little?

Fujita: Don't worry. That mascot was made from special grade S bulletproof material.
Chart (top to bottom): Grade S <- Grade AAA <- Grade AA <- Grade A
Next to Mikuru: Grade A
Fujita: Something like the M60 machine gun firing 7.62 mm ammo is nothing.
Fujita Small: Well,

156
Fujita: it shouldn't be.
Above Shomin BG: Incidentally, it weighs 60 kg.

Shomin: Yaha, I'm Shomin-ku... bleh.
Shomin: I'm your... friend <3

Kou: While I was uneasy about the "bleh" that I heard in the headset.
BG: I'm touched.
Kou: You're the type of guy... who properly corrects himself*
*Note: On this page, Hana used "I(jibun)" correctly
Kou: I couldn't help but remember feeling moved by Hana-san.

Kou: But, is this scene something children would enjoy?
Reporter: Oh no! He's shooting at Shomin-kun again!
Criminal: Hyahahahaha, dance~~
*sfx*
Kou: I was just scared for him.

157
Shomin: Fr-ie-nd~
Criminal: Uwaaa

Reporter: Oh, wow! H-he rinally reached Nakagawa Kentaro(43)~~!

Reporter: F-Finally, the day has come when Minkei was able to catch a criminal without using force!

Shomin: Come,

Shomin: Take my hand, Nakagawa Kentaro(43)!

158
Reporter: Ahh~~~ Shomin-kun is down!!
Reporter Small: He was at his limit!
Criminal: Hiih

BG sfx: Kyaa~~
Fujita: Awa?
BG sfx* Gyaaa

Fujita: M-Mikuru, Shikie... take him.
Mikuru/Shikie: R-Roger.

Kou: When Hana-san asked me while lying in his hospital bed,
Main Headline: Blood-spitting Shomin-kun!!
Left of picture: Children everywhere are terrified.
Right part: A surge in complaints?!
Kou: "Did his popularity go up?"...
Kou: I couldn't say anything.

Chapter 6: Flame and Water

Abyaku: It'll be a snap.
Abyaku: I'll just slice your head off real quick.

Abyaku: That's all I'll do!!

Tito: He's taking the water emitted from the holes in his arms and transforming it into his weapon.
Tito: A water magic user... the complete opposite of me.

Abyaku: You think you can fight me with flame magic?

Abyaku: You think you can beat water with fire?

071
Abyaku: Water extinguishes flame!!

072
Abyaku: Goh!

Mikaze: Don't ignore me!!
Mikaze: I'll be your opponent.

Mikaze: Sweet!
Mikaze: This is sick!
Mikaze: My power keeps rising!

073
Tito: Be careful, Mikaze.
Tito: Rushing in foolishly is dangerous.
Tito: He's an offensive magic user,
Tito: a battle pro!

Mikaze: My body's floating!! Look at this speed!!
Tito: Hey, quit messing around! I'm the one who is expending strength to continuously send you energy!

Tito: Abyaku, right?

Tito: You said your goal was not to take me in for a reward,

Tito: but to kill me, right?

Tito: You also said you were a "real client".
Tito: Who is behind you?

074
Mikaze: Speeed!! Powaaa!!
Tito: Please don't get retardedly happy back there!!

Abyaku: Like I care!!!

075
Mikaze: Bah

Mikaze: Hah

Abyaku: Urya!!!

Abyaku: Don't say a word.

Tito: White white flare!

*sfx*

Abyaku: !

Abyaku: He healed him...!!!

077
Tito: Mikaze,

Tito: unfortunately,
Tito: I don't have the attack power to be able to fight him.

Tito: Instead, I'll give you all my energy.
Tito: I'll fix any damage in an instant!

Tito: I'll risk my life to protect you!!

Tito: If it gets dangerous at any point, I don't care if you run.
Tito: But until then, my power is yours!!

078
Mikaze: I'm not gonna run, Tito.
Mikaze: Leaving that guy alone is dangerous!!

Mikaze: He thought nothing of killing me.
Mikaze: This guy is a sleazeball who doesn't care about life!

Tito: I agree.

Mikaze: I'm knockin' his ass down!!

Mikaze: You shit!!!

Adara: Abyaku-san,
Adara: How long do you plan on playing around?

079
Adara: You're a water magic user.
Adara: There's a river on the other side of those trees. Fight over there.

Adara: You're invincible around water!
Adara: And, your opponent's magic is fire-based.
Adara: It'll be over in an instant.

Abyaku: You're annoying, Adarapata!
Abyaku: Just shut up!!!

Abyaku: Do you think that
Abyaku: if there wasn't a large amount of water around,

Abyaku: that I would lose to this shitty fox!!!?

080
Adara: Understand this, Abyaku-san.
Adara: Tito's Material power

Adara: is not just recovery!!
Adara: He can power up his friends!!

Adara: With the energy from his lighter's flame,
Adara: it seems that Tito can not only heal, but also strengthen by wrapping a target in his flame.

Adara: I'll put it simply for you, Abyaku-san.
Adara: Let's give your true power a numerical value of about 100.

Adara: And let's assume that the fox is around 30-40.

Adara: Tito is no different than the average human.
Adara: At the most, he's about a 5.

081
Adara: Even if you add their power together, there's no way they can compete with you, Abyaku.
Adara: If you add it /normally/ that is.

Adara: But, Tito is aiding the fox with his magic!!
Adara: So his power now ranges 150-200!!!

Adara: If it's only power and speed,
Adara: He surpasses you!!

Adara: But the fox is nothing more than a medium for Tito's magic.
Adara: In essence...

082
Adara: Abyaku, your real opponent!
Adara: Is the magic user, Tito!!

Abyaku: Shit, I know that already!!
Adara: Oh my, well done then!

Abyaku: Regardless of speed and power,
Abyaku: it's still just this amateur fox fighting, right?

083
Abyaku: Then he's no match for me!!!

Abyaku: Material Puzzle: Blue Rings

Abyaku: Time to pump and dump this tree's water!!!
Abyaku: !!!

084
Mikaze: Ugh
Mikaze BG: My eyes...

Abyaku: Got you...!!!

Tito: !!

085
Tito: Haah!

086
Adara: They're...

Adara: pretty strong!!

Abyaku: Guh... how did they...
Abyaku: to me...!!!
Mikaze: This guy's pretty tough. He's not going down.

Tito: Mikaze, I get it now.
Tito: Through the flame, your senses are also transmitted to me.
Tito: That's why I understand. He's dispersing the damage that he's been receiving!

087
Tito: A human body is almost all water..!
*sfx*
*sfx*
*sfx*
*sfx*
Tito: The impact of the attack is being distributed by operating on the water in his body!!

Mikaze: Then, what should we do, Tito?

Tito: It's already been done.

Abyaku: Hah
Abyaku: Hah

Abyaku: Hah
Abyaku: Hah
Abyaku: Kahah

Tito: He's a water magic user.
Tito: He's been consuming water throughout the battle.

Mikaze: ...he's used too much water?

Tito: We can't let him near water. If he gets near it, he'll restore himself.
Mikaze: I gotcha!

088
Abyaku: Ku...

Abyaku: Kukuku...
Abyaku: Kukukukukuku

Tito: ...Now then,
Tito: Abyaku.

Tito: I want you to answer some questions of mine.
Tito: And if you still won't answer,

Tito: We'll end you without mercy.

Adara: You blockhead.

Adara: You should have just quickly gone to water without getting all stubborn.
Adara: No, actually, when you jumped into that river before, you should have drawn in more water.

089
Tito: You said we didn't need to make amends anymore.

Tito: Who told you about us?

Abyaku: ...
Abyaku: Who knows?
Abyaku: Did I say something like that?

Tito: Who did you ask?

Tito: The person behind what you're doing...
Tito: does he know what happened 100 year ago?

Abyaku: Huh?
Abyaku: There's no one like that.

Tito: How much did he pay you?
Abyaku: !

090
Abyaku: You think they paid ME with money? Shut the fuck up!! As if I would move for something like that!!
Abyaku: Do I look that sleazy to you? WELL!!?

Mikaze: You look pretty messed up to me...

Tito: How did you acquire magic?

Abyaku: ...
Abyaku: You already know, right?
Abyaku: Me, a genius, trained by myself and acquired it.

Tito: Mikaze, I've figured it out.

Tito: Whenever he lies, he moves like a bobblehead.

Abyaku: ...

Adara: You idiot.

091
Mikaze: Hey, Tito. Who the hell is he?
Mikaze: Why is a magic user after you?

Tito: The general reason why the 3 of us were in hiding on that cliff are

Tito: One reason is to shield ourselves from the reactions of our body's peculiar youth and longevity.
Tito: Even though the decrease in immunity is suppressed by biorhythm, the natural barrier there was most suitable.

Tito: The second reason was to isolate our existence from the world...
Tito: Since a unique existence like ours might bring the world unnecessary disorder.

Tito: And the third was to protect something...
Tito: Something with the purest power on this earth.

092
Tito: Abyaku! You're after that which we sealed and have been protecting these past 100 years!
Tito: Isn't that right!!

Abyaku: ...Bingo!
Abyaku: It's that...!!

Mikaze: Which?

093
Abyaku: It's thanks to that that you're immortal, right?

Abyaku: Thanks to that, you're forever young, right?

Abyaku: It has power to rule existence, right?

Tito: If you had it, what would you do?
Tito: Or...

Tito: would you try to repeat the same tragedy as 100 years ago?
Mikaze: Huh? What? What're you talking about?

Abyaku: Kuku... who knows...

Tito: Answer me, Abyaku.
Tito: If you tell me everything you know, I'll help you out.

094
Tito: If you don't, Mikaze here will do something extraordinary to you!
Mikaze: What are you going to make me do...

Abyaku: Kukuku...

Abyaku: Kukuku
Abyaku: Kukkukku

Abyaku: If I kill you, the seal on THAT will loosen, right?
Abyaku: It's so easy... fuck. Such an easy mission. All I need to do is kill...! So damn easy...!!

Tito and Mikaze: ......

Mikaze: ...Hey. What do you mean by "that"?

Abyaku: If I do that... more cool...
Abyaku: more and more cool shit will happen...

Abyaku: ...Yeah, if that old bag wakes up,
Abyaku: This world will get a whole lot sweeter...!!

095
Tito: I'll never hand it over...
Mikaze: ...Hey, Tito. What is "that"?

Tito: That is something I can't hand over to anyone...!!
Mikaze: Dude...

Mikaze: ......
*unreadable talk*

Adara: Abyaku-san, keep talking.
Adara: What do you mean why?
Adara: His material power will be exhausted is why.

Abyaku: You worried?

Adara: ......

Adara: No...
Adara: You're a stupid blockhead, but
Adara: I'm not making excuses. You're a first rate fighter... I'm not worried at all.

Tito: !?

*sfx*

096
Abyaku: You know... you really are worth of some respect.
Abyaku: Who would have thought you could make recovery magic look that sublime.

Abyaku: But it was a shame.
Abyaku: You have bad luck fighting someone like me.

Abyaku: That fox is still a rookie, so it probably wouldn't end well.
*sfx*

Tito: Give up. You're water energy should be at its end.

Abyaku: ...is that so?

Abyaku: ...but we aren't in a desert. There's water all around.
Abyaku: ...if I set all my absorbers on high like this...!!

097
Abyaku: Material Puzzle

Tito: Mikaze, attack!! Stop him from using his magic!!
Mikaze: You got it!!

Adara: I'd like to give you my thanks, Tito.
Adara: Because...

Abyaku: Blue Rings!

098

099
Mikaze: I can't get any closer!!!
Mikaze: Tito, what is this!?

Tito: What...!!

Tito: He's absorbing moisture from the surrounding trees and earth...!?

Adara: Because...

Adara: With this, You can finally die at long last!

Mikuru: Oh, Nomihara-san... Let's have some lunch together.
Mikuru BG: Have a seat.
Nono BG: N-Nice to meet you.
Nono: Oh, do you always eat lunch outside?
Masumi: Just cause the weather is great <3
Masumi BG: Yo

Masumi: By the way, Sonobe! Since when did we become a group?
Masumi: I think groups are really snooty, so I don't really like them!
Sonobe BG: About that
Sonobe: I didn't mean anything like that.
Sonobe Small: It's just for convenience. Convenience.
Sonobe: By the way, this girl has something good here *musical note*

Sonobe: I really like it <3

Masumi: Uwa, she did it again...
Sonobe BG: Hey, hey! Stop being rude and look over here!
Mikuru: Man, I feel bad for Sonobe's victim...
Ujiie: That smile is the scariest.
All: But anyway, for now,

126
All: We'll call you "Nono"
Nono: Wha?
Nono BG: So sudden...

Masumi: No good? Then how about "Nonocchi"?
Ujiie: Nah, "Nonoppe" is better.
Mikuru: "Noppii"
Mikuru BG: Sounds much cuter.
Nono: ...

Nono: "Nono" is fine.
Nono: It was my nickname in junior high too.

Sonobe: Now that that's all done with~

Sonobe BG: Don't run away, ladies!
Sonobe: You can't just give in~!

Mikuru: But but, it's because of autumn eating~*
*Note: In Japan, people tend to gain weight after summer due to the autumn foods (at least this is what I was told)
Mikuru: Everyone eats! It's not like summer! We just let ourselves go~
Sonobe: I know. Do I have to spell it out for you, Nazumecchan?

Sonobe: I'm fully aware of a girl's issues.
Sonobe: And I have a plan!

Masumi: Y-You for real?!
Masumi BG: Eh?
Masumi BG: Eh?

Sonobe: You betcha! That's me from the 3rd year of junior high!

Mikuru: Only once?!!
Masumi: W-What is it?!

Sonobe: Its name is
Sonobe: none other than

130-131
Sonobe: The Man Diet!!

132
Masumi: Hey, is the Man Diet really for real...?
Nono: We really turned out in full force for it.

Mikuru: I checked on the internet. There are stories just like it.
Mikuru: But there's a good chance it's fake I think...

Sonobe: In other words, the Man Diet
Sign: Flashback
Sonobe: is a diet that works by letting a man look at you.

Sonobe: I had my dad look at me, because the more embarrasing it is, the more fat that's burned away!
Sonobe: Keep it up until you burst into flames!!
Dad BG: Work hard, Sakura...

Sonobe: Your sense of shame is the key, so if you get used to the guy, then you're screwed!
Sonobe: You have to keep going one after the other!!
Sonobe BG: I chose my dad from my relatives.
Masumi: Wh-What a dreadful technique...

133
Ujiie: But there's nobody around to really ask.
Ujiie: Are we going to call our dads?

Sonobe: Leave that to me!
Sonobe: My junior has a brother. We can borrow him anytime.

Sonobe: Well, you guys were thin from the start, so if you do it once, then you'll be perfect <3
Sonobe: Plus, since I pulled it off as a study session, you guys can just be normal! It's killing two birds with one stone~ *musical note*
Mikuru: In her mysterious way, she pulled us along with her fast talking...
Mikuru Small: She's a force to be reckoned with...

Masumi: Hey, girls have guts, so just get undressed right in front of him.
Mikuru: I'm not taking off my clothes!
Mikuru: The guy that's going along with this inane story is definitely perverted.
Mikuru: I came along just to protect you all.
Mikuru BG: What does she mean by we can borrow him? That's just dirty!

Mikuru: If something happens, I have to stop everything...!
Masumi: Ah, here she comes now.

134
Sonobe: Hey everyone, let me introduce you.
Sonobe: This is the underclassman I scouted.
Ayuna: I'm Shiraishi Ayuna.

Masumi: And you've done it again. You must be sick...

Masumi: Sonobe! Get over here!
Sonobe: An <3

Masumi: What do you mean we can borrow him? That's Shiraishi-kun! What are you planning with a boy from our own class?!
Sonobe: Well, you see. If I ask an adult poorly, it'll probably get us into trouble with the police.
Sonobe: And with double the embarassement, it'll up your dieting results~~ <3
Masumi: That's why...

Sonobe: I already talked to Shiraishi-kun and made him keep silent about everything.
Sonobe Small: It's okay.
Sonobe: Don't worry, Masumi.
Masumi: B-But...

Sonobe: See, because you're feeling embarassed, the fat right here is getting burned away~ <3
Masumi: Ha-Hakyuu...
Masumi Small: My weak spot...

136
Kou: H-Hey there, Nomihara-san.

Nono: I-I wonder... is it really okay for us to do something like...this?
Kou: Eh? Something like this? ...I think it's great.

Kou: I'll try my best just for you, Nomihara-san!

Nono: Just for me... <3

Sonobe: Hey, Shiraishi-kun. You've got good grades, right? I was wondering if you could help us study a bit?
Sonobe BG: In a way, I'm not lying!
Sonobe: Especially Nono-chan!.
Kou: Nomihara-san? I don't see why not...
Kou: I said I would, so now I need to help them properly!

Nono: But, I'm sort of happy... I don't mind being looked at if it's Shiraishi-kun <3
Nono Side of bubble: Kyaa, I said it!
Kou: ?

Sonobe: Okay! It's time for the showdown, ladies. Are you all ready?!

Masumi: 1 kilo by any means necessary! I just can't get rid of this last kilo!
Masumi Side of bubble: Dammit

Ujiie BG: I'll come too.

Nono: Ahh, I'll be like this
Nono: in front of Shiraishi-kun

Ujiie: Flesh.
Ayuna: Mi-Mikuru-san... what is she...
Nono: S-Stop... Ah
Ujiie: Flesh.
Mikuru: Oh that. Don't worry about it. She's having some friendly physical relations.
Mikuru: She'll probably come for you next.
Ayuna: Ehh?!

Ujiie BG: Flesh~
Ayuna: Nooooo~~~~~~!!

Sonobe: Well, time to get started.
Sonobe: Let's go!

Mikuru: Really, what are you thinking...?
Masumi BG: You're in my way!
Sonobe: Nope, sorry. You can't pass, Nazumecchan.

Sonobe: Only people wearing swimsuits are allowed past this point~~ *musical note*
Mikuru: What are you saying?!
Sonobe: It's obvious, ain't it? You're determination is weak, while Masumi's is the real deal!

140
Sonobe: If you guys change into swimsuits, feel free to come in~~
Sonobe BG: Until then, see ya.
Mikuru: Grrr~~ Sonobe~~

Kou: U-Uwaa! Why are you all wearing...!
Ayuna: Hah
Ayuna: Hah
Mikuru: See, just look. Shiraishi-kun can't keep quiet...

Mikuru: ...Huh, the voices got quieter...
Ayuna: Y-Yeah they did...

The winter of my senior year...
When all you can do is repeat every day
Ho
Ho <-- whenever you see any bubble that looks like that, that's the translation

I, Nakamura Shizu, would prefer to relax
But here I am, even at this time, doing training with the swim team

Oh!

Hmm
Not bad, Shizu!

Page 2
I won't loooooooose!!
... brat

He's Kitano Katsuo
Former captain of the swim team
Like me... he's still showing up at the team's activities

Nakamura-senpai and Kitano-senpai are so close
/i don't like winter because we have to keep jogging~
/keep going keep going
... really?

-... Nakamura-senpai
Is it ok for you to keep showing up at the team's activities like this?

-... hm
I guess if the third years keep showing up like this it's distracting?

Page 3
Ah, no, I'm glad you're showing up like this!
/it's fun when the senpai are here!
/you don't have to worry about us like that
No, no...

Because... you have the university examinations coming up
/ah, Nakamura-senpai's an honour student so she's fine
-... just, being swept along without resistance along the soft currents

Is this alright...
Is this normal?

Page 4
I'm returning the tests from yesterday
Come get it when I call out your name

Wa-n it was horrible this time, how were you, Shizu-chan?
Well it's probably perfect or 90 or...

Oyo?
That's rare
Well I guess there're days like this sometimes

I guess
/she's not answering that at all

Page 5
Senpai good bye

It's gotten really late...
Shortcut shortcut
/if I go through here it's faster

Sound of water?
/maybe a stray cat fell in or something?

Page 6
Yo, Shizu!

What are you doing, Katsuo...
It's really cold, I guess swimming in it is impossible

You're really out of whack
/you're wanting to swim in the middle of winter?
Well I don't think I'm that-
It wasn't a compliment

Page 7
Alright Shizu
Big brother will walk you home
He's a senior, but I still can't figure out why Katsuo is this simple-minded

Our school won't make it a hot-spring pool

If only they'd that, then Shizu and I could always swim freely

Well, this guy probably has no worries or anything
I'm ready

Page 8
... what?

You... haven't been very energetic lately

I don't... think I'm any different, though?

Page 9
Hmm...
It's really rare for Shizu-chan to get consecutive bad scores

Well, with a storm of tests like this
See, Shizu-chan's working out with the team, too, maybe she's tired?

Hmm, this bowl of fried-fish and rice, the shrimps are small
... she's not minding at all?

Oh, Nakamura's still showing up at the team activities at this time?
Maybe that's eating away at your study time

It's not a bad thing to work on what you want to do now
But you need to keep studying for what you want to do in the future
... what I want to do?

Page 10
Right... like Minami, wanting to go into the same university as her boyfriend (Houno) and have a sweet four years
S- Sensei!
Hohoooooooo I see, Ryouko

What, Aoi was working hard to get into the same university as Youta-san too!!
No- nooooooo not so loud!

Well, just don't enjoy the present so much that you forget you're an exam student
What I want to do...

... it's not like I'm clinging to the swim team
But studying for the exam was also just a side-thought that I should work to get into a university

I guess... everyone has their own goals
I wonder what I want to do

Page 11
-... I don't really have... one...

... maybe that's really a sad thing

Well anyways, I'm still an exam student

I'll work hard
/good

Page 12
Katsuo...
I wonder if he's still here

Guess... not

I wanted to talk to him about the team
Oh well, I'll just talk to him another time, time to go home time to go home

Page 13
There he is...

What are you doing there?
Yo... Shizu

Baked potatoes

It's the winter of your senior year... and Katsuo's still having fun

Page 14
Yup!
There's not much more fun than this

Shizu-kun, are you enjoying school life?

... it's not boring, but if I guess it's dull
Well you can't swim in winter

The cold of winter and the cold of the water
It doesn't feel real

It's like I'm someone else

Page 15
If you feel dull, it's because you're not doing something you like

So, what did you want to talk about?
... yeah

Katsuo, what are you going to do after graduating?
/is there something you want to do?
Me?

I'm going to become a fish
I want to keep swimming freely

Page 16
I'm stupid for even asking you

Katsuo... tell the swim team members for me
Hn... what is it?

I'm... going to stop showing up

Page 17
What are you going to do instead?

Of course, study for the exam

Well...
Farewell, captain

Page 18
Since then, I...
Went full-force into my studies

Days and months went by quickly, and before I realized it, the second semester was ending
I began acting more like an exam student

-... however...

It's your last test exam of the year, but what's with the grade
Hah...

If it keeps going down like this you'll be in trouble getting into your school, ok?
That's odd...
But I've spent even more time studying?

Page 19
Even if it's a slump, if it's going on this long this could be bad

Shi-zu
What's wrong, you look downcast

Tomorrow evening... after the graduation ceremony, we're having a Christmas Party at the Sunflower, where I work
Shizu-chan do you want to come along, too?

Sorry...
It looks like I'll be in trouble unless I study

Page 20
... Alright

But we'll be waiting
If you change your mind, come over
/you'd better!
Ok...

What am I doing...
Turning down invitations from my friends

Is this the exam student's blues?

But I don't feel any rush
It doesn't feel real

Page 21
Every now and then... it feels like I couldn't care less about what happens
And I'm afraid of that

Yo, Shizu!

What a coincidence... let's go home together

Page 22
You going home at this hour, that's unusual, isn't it?
/how about the team?
Mmm... I also go home early some days

You probably heard I've been down from Oogata Ryouko and the others, so you waited for me
/what do you mean, a coincidence
I hate having people worry for me

Will you leave me alone?

Page 23
And Shizu is bad for wanting people to do that

If you don't want people to worry about you, then make sure you don't make them worry in the first place

When are you saying I ever made people worry about me?
... always

Page 24
Until the summer, Shizu was free
You spread out your limbs and swam... breathed

But right now, in water where you can't see ahead
You're a fish that stopped swimming

Page 25
I can't believe you

The hell do you mean, fish...
Grow up

We're seniors already
It's no longer the time to just keep doing what you want to do

... bye bye

Page 26
What am I doing?

I didn't...
Want to say that

I hurt Katsuo...
All he did was worry about me

Page 27
I can't see ahead nor behind me...
I don't know what I'm supposed to do

I don't understand myself

Snow...

Ryouko's party's started by now

Page 28
It's a white christmas pretty enough to make you sad

Page 29
The water...
Looks a bit muddy

It's like the future of us seniors

Page 30
Shizu isn't very kind to herself right now

Even though she actually wants to swim, using the exam as a reason, she refuses to let her arms and legs move...
And so she can't even manage to breathe right

Page 31
I'm an exam student, there's no helping it

... I don't really get those difficult things

But I know this much
I'm... a fish

Fishes swim
And so I...

Page 32
Swim when I want to swim

Page 33
H... hey
Katsuo!?

I... love myself when I swim

... you're doing such insane things
For the high school exam, I was worrying so much I was about to stop swimming

But all of a sudden...
I couldn't do anything
In the end... all I could do was loosen up my shoulders and swim through the muddy waters again

Page 34
Shizu-...
You're probably also a fish

Even if you can't see in front in the water... if you swim like you always do
You'll quickly regain yourself and start breathing again

I...

Liked...
Shizu's swimming

Page 35
Spreading out your limbs as far as they could go...
Swimming happily, that glowing Shizu
I've watched you these past three years

Don't push yourself...
Loosen up a bit

Page 36
You...
Need an asylum

Page 37
Hyoooooooooooooh!!

Wh- wh- wh-... what happened, Shizu?

What happened...
You said to come, so I came
Not that!
Why are you all wet!?

Well I did some swimming in the school pool
/doshieeeeeeee

Page 38
Why in the middle of winter...
/these kids...

/here, Shizu-chan, towel!
/Katsuo-kun too!

I wanted to swim, so I swam

... I see
I'll just be myself

Page 39
Even in heavy, cold water where you can't see ahead...
If I swim like myself
Then that's that, but more importantly

At the end of high school life...
A future that suits me will be waiting

Winter Term End

Title Page
Autumn Color March

Page 1
The fall of your senior year
That's the season where you have to make a tough decision...

On an autumn day...
Amidst the falling leaves, a bishounen~

It can be a picture, Kouno-senpai
... are you doing that on purpose?

Page 2
It's praise
Our class has you labeled as "cute," senpai

"Cute" isn't a word of praise for guys!

Ah...
Sawada-sensei

She always looks so pretty
Kouno-senpai... what's wrong?
... nothing

-... right

Page 3
Sawada Aki-sensei, who started teaching in this school this April
Because extremely popular quickly within the school

Pretty, young, kind, easy to talk to

And
Even though she's a teacher she's not noisy

-... is what's said, anyways

Page 4
Oh...
Kouno Maachi-kun

Come here for a bit!
/there something i want your help with

She singled him out
Kouno-senpai seems to be favored by Sawada-sensei, don't you think?
She's not even his homeroom...

Aren't you glad
I wonder if it's because senpai's a bishounen?
/stop saying that!
Shut up you guys...

Seeya!
/it's a plus being cute

Page 5
I, Sawada Aki (23), became a high school teacher this year
And I'm having a wonderful time every day

What's so great is
I love Bishounen and Bishoujo

The young people that change their look from season to season...
/watching students from out the window
To me, school is like heaven...
Yes, my paradise
... your thoughts are being voiced

Page 6
Ooh you came...
How could you make the school Madonna wait!
/here, the survey sheet
/such fraud
But this looks like lolicon/shotacon

Ask some other guy sometimes
Sawada-sensei's popular, so anyone would quickly say yes...

-... are you listening?
/ahh...
/second year's Hyuuga Aoi-chan, i wanna pet her

I'm listening I'm listening...
But stop with that "Sawada-sensei"
Just call me "Aki-nee" like always

How could I call you that!
/and don't rub my head
/oh

Page 7
Who cares!
We know each other...
Who do you think changed your diapers

Yes-...
Sensei and I are neighbors
/stop with the old stories!
I've known her since I was a kid

... more important, you've been my slave since then!
Who's a slave!?

Now I'm pissed...
I'm not helping!
Oh?

I'll spread stories about your hobbies!!
Mmm... my image as Madonna!

Page 8
You're so rebellious these days...
Don't you feel embarassed being my slave?
... I don't
/seeya!

Hey Maachi!
What...
Is thish~!?

Answer...
Maachi child trying to run away from home with his teddy bear and toys (1st grade)!
/at this time I made you carry an orange
You take out one of those old photos again!?

I still have more

Good good, being honest is the best
/surrendered
/shit-!!

Page 9
There're a lot of shounen and shoujo in this school that you love, right?
Why don't you ask them...
/ahh my lunch break
Oh, but it's not like I'll just grab anyone either, you know?

Maachi grew up the way I wanted him to
So I can't just leave him

So disgusting
/ahh ew ew
/what, brat
... what'd you say?

Page 10
Hey... Aki-nee

Do you remember...
The promise?

Hey!
/a cute student just passed by
Eh... yes, did you say something?
... nevermind

Page 11
Sawada-sensei-!

Ah, Taguchi-sensei
I think Maachi's homeroom?
Actually I have something I wanted to discuss with you...
Ok

It's about Kouno Maachi

To be blunt...
It's October, in his senior year, but Kouno's the only one who hasn't turned in his future plan
Really!

Sawada-sensei and Kouno seem close...
Do you have any ideas?
/ideas...

Page 12
I'm sorry, I don't know...
I see...
Even I, as Kouno's homeroom, haven't heard anything

Sawada-sensei...
Could you talk to Kouno about it for me?

Alright!
Thank you

That Maachi...
He didn't decide on his future yet
/that's cutting it close
... speaking of which, he's been pretty rebellious lately
Maybe there's a reason

Alright!
Time to catch him and interrogate him
/sort of peeved he didn't talk to her about it

Page 13
Heeey!
Kouno Maachi-kun
/here here
/so tired
/ahh done, done

Stop... calling me out where other people are
/it's suspicious!

Hmm!
Your legs are thin and pretty... you pass
/mm... no thigh
Waaah...

Did you call me to touch my leg!?
/you temptress!
/who's a temptress?
So rude... of course not

You... haven't turned in your future plans?

You're already a senior
/and it's october
Shouldn't you be thinking abou your life in earnest?

Page 14
... what's with the sudden teacher atmosphere
Because I'm a teacher

Aki-nee, what should I do?
Hn!?

What are you going to do if you can't decide about yourself!

I just wanted to hear your opinion as a teacher...
Ow?

Page 15
Ouch!
If you choose the path another chooses for you, you could shift the blame to them
But you'll regret it

You should take responsibility and choose for yourself

You say teacher-like things sometimes
/isn't that right

... so, is there a reason why Maachi can't decide his future?

Page 16
You've been pretty rebellious towards me these days, maybe that has something to do with it...
Th... this has nothing to do with Aki-nee!!

Ah... he ran!
/... damnit

/haaaaah
Kouno-senpai~...

Page 17
Senpai you're going to lunch now?
Why do you people...
Always gravitate towards me...

Because senpai is so cute~ it...
Makes us want to make fun of you

Do you want to each lunch together?
I'll pass...
Are you feeling bad?
/your stomach's rumbling

No-...
I'm having my growth spurt
So I'm trying to not eat lunch
/my muscles hurt too

You don't want to grow?
Pretty much...

Page 18
Kouno-senpai is finally growing...
/his height was growing after all
It would have been nice if he was always a shounen senpai
Fuhahahahah...

Watch!
I'll become a tall, buff nice guy so you can't say cute to me ever again!!
/rumbling sounds
Oh no!
Huh!?

Senpai... didn't you say you didn't want to grow?
/you just switched

Page 19
This has nothing to do with you...
Seeya!

You should really eat something~
-... shut up

Yo!
/you don't look well

Page 20
Wh... what do you want!

You ran off in the middle of our conversation

I'm not talking to you about the future plans
My my

Page 21
It's autumn...

This season makes you feel so bittersweet

... that's why I hate autumn*

*autumn is written "aki" in Japanese... he says this in a purposefully ambiguous way

Page 22
You start thinking... and it sucks

Hey, tell me why you won't decide on a future?
I just... said I won't tell
Because it really nags at me!

I'll tell everyone that your dream when you were a kid was "to grow up into a grape"?
/the reason, because they taste good
Ah... that's dirty!
Now, tell
/bastard

Page 23
-~... fine, we'll trade
If you remember the promise, I'll tell you

Promise?
Yup... the promise I made with Aki-nee a long time ago

Promise...

Pro~mi~se~

Ah

Page 24
2nd grade Houno-kun-
/so cute

The promise...
You really don't remember it

Maachi!

He-...
Was seriously angry
Why?
/it's usually like this though

Page 25
Promise... promise
An old promise
Hnnn~!

He usually wouldn't get angry over a forgotten promise
I don't remember raising him to be angry like that

Raised... him?

I... I remember~!!

Which means...
Hey hey
Is that what's going on?
/hnnnn
What... to do
If I just apologize saying I remembered, he'd still be angry

I guess I'll have to do something dramatic this time-...
/lighting sound

Page 26
/grin~

An emergency call-up
3rd year class 1
Kouno Maachi-kun!
With great urgency, come to the career guidance room!!

Page 27
Repeating...
3rd year class 1
Kouno Maachi-kun
With great urgency, get your butt to the career guidance room- that's all!

Page 28
What the hell was that...
Aki-nee!

Th- there's no one here...

Fufufufu~...
You can't run anymore
/barricading the door

Page 29
What are you...
Here, Future Plans Sheet!
/you still haven't turned it in

I won't let you get out unless you fill it all out

Wh- what is this...
Future Plans Sheet
Not that!

This handwritten part at the end!!
As it's written
/why you started hating Aki-nee
/write in the following space

Because Maachi...
Wouldn't even tell me why he can't decide on a future
/Aki-nee is sad...
You... didnt call me for this?
I did

Page 30
Stop joking!
I told you I wouldn't tell you if you don't remember the promise!?

Be-ca-use I... remembered

"So that... you would, in the future, become a splendid groom for me
I would raise you," right?

Page 31
So why would you get so angry I didn't remember that?
You don't know...
I don't!
So helpless!!
/hnn?

Well, I remembered the promise, so tell me your reason!

I can't decide on a future because I don't want to graduate...
Why?

Because... then I wouldn't be able to see Aki-nee every day
And eventually I'd have to go out into society, my body would grow and I'd be a complete adult!
/my growth spurt's here too
Well... of course

Page 32
If I become an adult, far away from "cute"
Aki-nee... wouldn't even look at me...

So stupid!!
Stop laughing~... that's why I didn't want to say it!

"Cute" is the most important thing for Aki-nee, right?
As long as it's cute, anything's fine for you, freak!!
Such a cruel way of putting it

That's why I wanted you to remember the promise...
That way I wouldn't have to think about something this stupid!

Page 33
Alright alright, I get it
So calm down and go become a wonderful adult

I like bishounen
But I like Maachi because he's Maachi, so it's alright

Page 34
/my my

Is that it...
You should have told me earlier
How could I!
I feel so stupid

Plus, Aki-nee is an adult, you could have at least figured that much out...

I think that's not the point at all, though
Wh... then why?

No matter how much two people understand each other, they're still other people...
Even if you understand the other's feelings, it's not definite
There's always uncertainty!
/people always change, too

Page 35
That's why girls want...
A clear cut "word of love"

Older...
Adult, all of that doesn't matter
Ok?

"Word of Love"

"Word of Love"

Page 36
What are you doing?
Don't come!!

Here...
/ahh, the future plans sheet

Aki-nee...
I hate you!

/why you started hating Aki-nee
/write in the following space
/3rd grade class 1 Kouno Maachi
/love too much

Page 37
Ha~ I was worried what would happen

Well, it's great that you figure out what you want to do
/now you just have to study!
/i'll work hard
I'm sorry to worry you

Oh yeah... do you want to eat lunch?
Ah, there he is, Kouno Maachi-kun!

Page 38
Here... hand-made lunch

Aki-nee...
These actions are going to cause rumours?
Hnn-... maybe

But who cares?
/jajaaaan
/today's main course is spicy fried chicken!

Oh... well
... why'd you make lunch for me too?
Right~ actually...

Page 39
I'm going to fulfill that promise

Hnn...

Eh.. do you mean!?

Title Page
Magical Sunflower

Page 1
I don't really like summer...
I don't have any good memories

Ryouko... we'll be going now!
Ah... hold on I'm leaving now too

We'll be back in a week, so take care of the house, and remember to close the door
Ok
/uniform?
/attendance day

It's your once-a-year visit back home, so relax and take it easy

Page 2
While you say that, you haven't gone back in years
Grandmother in Hokkaidou as well as your friends... are feeling abandoned
/so selfish!!
/i'll be going

Yes... I lived in Hokkaidou until elementary school

Maybe it's because of that... the summers here are so long I'm still not used to it
Morning, Aoi
Morning

After we get attendance... right after that
I'm going to Aoshima for a week with everyone who works at the store
/kya
/hnn

You say that~
But you're just going with Youta-san aren't you?
/fess up
No... Master's going too!

I'm glad everyone's having a fun summer break
/my parents are both heading out too

Page 3
Um... Ryouko, if you don't have any plans, do you want to come with us?
/it'll be fun
I'll pass...
I'll be in the way of your vacation anyways, right?
Plus I need to go to school for a week starting tomorrow anyways
I said Master's with us

Eh?
I'm taking care of the flower garden for a week in the stead of a friend
The person who was supposed to do it this week said it's a pain, so I'm covering

Wow, that's another rather dull job you took
It's fine!
I'm bored alone these days anyways

... you wouldn't be bored if you got a boyfriend, don't you think?

Page 4
But sheesh, this child doesn't look at boys at all...
/ah, such a waste
Even though she's popular!
/kuh... revenge for the last time
Shut up
I don't care, so just drop it!!

Why don't you try going out with one just to see?
/here
-... hn

But I... really
Don't have any desire to go out with boys

Hnn...
/such a waste

Page 5
I wonder when it started...
When I became afraid of love?

It was five years ago...
When I was still in sixth grade
I got totally upended on my first love

You could laugh that it's just something that happened while I was a kid...
But

When I learned of the pain about how, no matter how much you feel for someone, those thoughts might not reach them
I still won't let myself fall to it

Page 6
Attendance days end so quickly, why do we even come...
It's for the teachers' salaries
Ah... I see

Ah
Ryouko-chaan!

I wanted to see you!!
/huh?

You...
Don't have to avoid me that well?
/hands that lost their destination
Of course I'd dodge it!?

Page 7
So... what do you want, Houno?
It's been a while since we've run across each other, do you want to go do some karaoke?

I'm busy!!
/ah
/well well
/see ya!!

You slid him off with a lot of force
Who cares...
He's so persistent!

He's...
Houno-kun from class 7?
Definitely the type to get caught up in things, but he's pretty popular
Such a waste

Page 8
I'll definitely refuse!!
/That preppy brown long hair
/The type I hate the most
/Hmph

But... I think he's pretty serious
/isn't that mean?

But... he's really the type I can't understand
He probably doesn't care as long as it's a girl?

How can you say you like someone so easily...
Now~... I'll have to work hard as a flower garden worker from tomorrow!
You're the one who'll get hurt when it doesn't work out

Page 9
I... came here enthuasiastic but there's no one here?

I heard there's a gardening club member who's working on the gardens though
/but it's really hot!

... UFO?
/gosh... a mirage?

Page 10
Oh... it moved!

Ah...
Ah...

Oh... a person
Um... are you helping out with the garden today?

Page 11
Ah... yes, grade 2 class 8 Minami Ryouko
/i'll be helping out for a week

~...!
shuwa
shuwa
shuwawa
H...

Happy

Wh... what are you doing so suddenly!?
Uh... you don't recognize me?

Page 12
Bam!
Ryouko-chan's soul's oasis, Houno Makoto-kun

Why are you here?
/what's with those glasses?
/i usually wear contacts
I'm... in the gardening club
Wha, seriously!?

I was really happy to hear that the helper took the job of their own will, but
/... hey
To think that it's Ryouko-chan...
I'm so happy you would do that much for me, my honey
/hey

Page 13
Then I... have to see this guy here for a whole week?
/if you're happy then you're happy

Now...
Let's start, Ryouko-chan
Ah... ok

First, you have to pull out the weeds around the flowers
And then re-plant the withered spring flowers
So flower gardening isn't just about watering them

Marygolds and Sylvias grow quickly with time
/so they end up growing really big if you're not careful
To get them to sprout pretty flowers during the fall, you have to cut off the branches that have grown too much

The afternoon summer sun damages flowers a lot
So we have to put them in the shade until the evening!
/uoryaaaaaaa
/<-totally immersed

Page 14
Good work today
It's a pretty tough job

I don't see any of the other gardening club members, but where'd they go?
Hn-... I'm actually the only one who's an active member
/they all just sign up but don't actually participate

It's a pretty dull club-work, so they all pass
Ryouka-chan's the first person who ever actually came to help during the summer
/thank you, my honey

... Hnnn

Page 15
You don't get mad at the people who skip out?
This isn't really a requirement anyways

So you've been working the gardens by yourself?
Pretty much

In this courtyard...
Alone for the entire summer

So your skin isn't tanned because of play
That's pretty commendable

Hn?

Yay...
Ryouko-chan praised me for the first time!
... I said stop getting close
/ryo~ko~

Page 16
Mother

Oh... yeah, they're not here

-... alone for an entire week
/ahh... so tired today

Houno...
Has he been doing that all summer?

I...
Hate being alone

Page 17
/taking a break

... what have you been doing there?
Praying
P...
Praying!?

That pot... is there something in there?
Uhah?
Do you want to know!?

Not really...
Fine, fine...
What's in it?

Mr. Magical Sunfower!

This seed has magic in it...
They say if you can get it to sprout, your wish will come true

-... pfft, that so doesn't fit you-
Ah!

I'll also point out...
That straw hat and your jersey outfit and the gardening club all don't fit you at all?
You...
Cruel!!
/i liked all of it

Ryouko-chan, why do you come here every day?

... Eh?
I know Ryouko-chan's popular

Page 19
It's summer break, but you're working in dirt all day... isn't that boring?
Are you sure it's ok to leave your boyfrind?

I don't have one
Eh~... really?
I... don't need a boyfriend right now

Why... why!?
/but you're so popular!!
-... that's a secret
What is that, you can tell me!
/eey let go you look stupid

How about you, then
You're popular with girls...
Isn't it boring to be working here all summer?

Page 20
Nope-...
I can sit with the girl I like right now, so I'm having lots of fun

/i'll let you borrow it...
/you have to wear a hat

How much of what he's saying is a joke...
And from where is he being serious, I really don't get it
/then... the two lonely selves should be getting back to work

I'm home-
/even though no one else is

Page 21
/i came home without giving it back

Ah...
The smell of the sun and soil

His odor?

Uwah!
Why am I thinking!?

... I guess it's time for a bath
/i probably look really... stupid

Haa-...
But still...

Page 22
Mr. Magical Sunflower!
That surprised me a bit

He's a junior in high school
But he can still say something so childish
Laughing happily

What a...
Strange guy

Minami-!
Ah... Sawada-sensei

It's summer vacation, but thanks for helping out with the garden every day
/you're tanning, too

By the way...
Houno's in sensei's class, right?
Yup!

Page 23
When you get to know him, he's pretty nice, isn't he?

You normally wouldn't be able to do it
Coming to school every day during the summer to do gardening...
He's pretty serious deep down, all of his playing is probably just his way of hiding his embarassment
Well, he's a good guy, so feel free to help out any time

/why me...
Ah... but you were just supposed to help out with the flower garden for a week

That'd mean, Minami, today's the last day...

/good luck with the last job
Ah... it's already been a week

Page 24
I totally-... forgot
Grow bigger
Grow bigger

They'd be so much easier to deal with if they just did what you say
/ah so cruel
If you talk to plants, they get happy... and grow quicker!

... joke?
Not a joke

Ryouko-chan...
Today's the last day

Page 25
Will you tell me one thing, since it's the end?
What is it... sounding so conclusive

I want to know why it is you won't...
Go out with boys

I... stumbled hard on my first love in sixth grade

I was living in Hokkaidou then...
And I always had a crush on a guy in the neighborhood

Page 26
But... his thoughts were towards an older girl in the neighborhood
I wanted the one I liked to be happy... I thought that
So using my transfer as the reason, I suppressed my feelings and helped out with his thoughts
And in the end...
His thoughts went through

I thought...
This is what was good
But no matter what, it made me feel hurt
/i guess i've always been the kind to look after others

Ever since...
I've steered clear of love affairs

Page 27
It's been five years since then...
But I guess I'm still not over it
/gosh, such a pathetic story

What...
Is that!

... eh?
You're refusing to love for such a childish reason!!

Wh... what

You believe in childish things too, like Mr. Magical Sunflower!

Page 28
... well, I know it, too
It's so stupid... for such a childish reason

Then...

Then stop!
It's a waste!?

It... it doesn't have anything to do with Houno, right?
/let go!
... yes it does!!

Page 29
I want to keep on
Gardening like this with Ryouko-chan

I don't want it to...
End today

Page 30
... wait!

Please...
Say something

Why did you come here every day...
Why did you help out with such a tiresome job for a whole week?
Ryouko-chan doesn't hate me either, right!?

... I hate you!

Page 31
H... ate...

Page 32
... what a horrid face
/the happy ryouko-chan is being wasted

Ah~... I'm so glad I don't have to see that idiot's face from today on!

Page 33
Huh...

What's that?

No... way
I said something that horrible

When I'm with him...

Page 34
I'm always aggravated
Because I could never figure out what he was thinking

But...

It was exciting

A week...
To the point where I'd lose track of time
It was exciting

... Houno~!!

Page 35
Mr. Magical Sunflower...
Blossomed

Page 36
I wanted to show it to Ryouko-chan no matter what...
So I came

... I
Won't apologize

What I said yesterday was my true feelings

I'm...
Afraid of Houno

Page 37
When... you grabbed my arm yesterday
I was...
Scared...

But I knew...
At that point

To me...
Falling in love is something "that won't ever come true"

So I was afraid of it...
I was afraid of falling in love

Page 38
But I...
Ended up
Liking Houno-kun

-... it's like a dream

For my wishes to Mr. Magical Sunflower...
To come true

Page 39
Your... wishes?
Yep!

"For Ryouko-chan to turn around!!"

/sensei good morning
/yo... work hard second semester

Oh?

Yo, you two
So it's like that

Page 40
What do you mean, "it's like that"?

This
Oh

Hn?

... why're you embarassed?
You're the one that put your shoulder around me

... because you're not shrugging it off

Page 41
Fall is the miracle of harvesting

Let's make a lot of blossoming flowers
/yeah

Fall Term End

Finally the start of my freshman year's spring break

Hey... Aoi
Yes

I know you're happy about the first day of your part-time job...
But let's walk a bit more normally
There's no way I can not be happy!
/don't dance
/don't dance
/rurarari~

You can finally see the "You at the Door" every day
/and it's spring break!
Ha~n... so happy <3

But... that job is supposed to require cooking, right?
Are you sure you're ok?
/Aoi... can't cook at all...
I have the "Certain Victory Cooking Guidebook" right here, so I'm fine!!

Page 2
Seeya
/good luck-
/of course-
I'm not giving up just because I can't cook!

I would regret it for the rest of my life if I passed up a chance to work with "You at the Door"

/ah, my hair's messy

Aoi... the beginning is important!
Calm yourself down...

Page 3
-... a customer?

I forgot to tell you, Youta-kun...
We're getting someone new to help out from today on
/changed
I'm Hyuuga Aoi
I messed up from the start...
Messed up!
Messed up!!

Page 4
Pleased to meet you!

Youta-kun?

Zama Youta, pleased to meet you

So you're named Aoi-chan...
Yes!
I... know about you
Eh!?

You come to this store often
Thank you very much

Page 5
Uh...
Uwa~h...
/welcome

He... noticed me!
/here, wet hand towels and water
/yes!

This is... too much happiness

/welcome
/if you've decided on your order, please call me

I met Youta-san the first time half a year ago...
He was working part-time at this shop I wandered into
/ah... not yet

I kept coming her since then and found out that he's a high-schooler and his name
And I eventually realized
/youta-kun this goes to table 2
/ok

Page 6
He had a habit of watching the door from the counter...

That side glance was so beautiful...
But also sad

I think it was love at first sight-...

Eh~...
A cramp!?

Page 7
What are you going to do about the store?
It's spring break, so there're a lot of customers...
Yes... so I have a request of you two

Can you two stay at this store for the two or three days I need to recover... and keep working
What~!?

There's an open room upstairs, how about it?
/i'll pay for expenses
I'm fine, but Aoi-chan is a girl...
I'll... phone home!

This means I can stay with Youta-san for an entire day under the same roof?
I have to convince my parents no matter what!!

- is the situation...
Is it ok?
Go for it?

Work hard, like it's practice for being a wife
-... ok
/my parents...
I'm a grown girl now, so you can at least worry a bit...

Page 8
Ok!
Good god~
They said to go for it like it's practice for being a wife...

Practice being a wife- then can Aoi-chan fix up dinner for us

Aoi-chan can make it, right?
/it was a good move to hire someone who can cook...
Yes... a bit
-... or rather none at all

I want to eat dinner made by Aoi-chan... too

Page 9
I'll... make dinner
/yay
I'll have to do it now!

It's alright... this is why I prepared the "Certain Victory Cooking Guidebook"!
If I use my love love powers towards Youta-kun it'll work out!!
/alright let's do it

Making dinner for someone you like...
It's like a newly wed

Page 10
What... is this?

How... from those ingredients, can something like this be made...
/i made it the way it's written in the book

Aoi-chan, is dinner ready?

Master, I'm hungry...
Kyaaa!
Not yet, don't come!!

Aoi-chan...
What is this
... it was supposed to be dinner

Page 11
... I thought I wrote on the ad that I wanted someone who could cook?

S... sorry
I wanted to...
I wanted to work at this store no matter what...

Master...
How about if I teach Aoi-chan how to cook?

There's nothing wrong with her job as a waitress
As long as she just centers around floor work like until now while she learns, it should be fine

Page 12
Youta-kun, you're the one who has to go through trouble, you know?
Yes...

...if Youta-kun says it like that, there's no helping it
Thank you very much

I'll make dinner tonight
/thanks
/Aoi-chan don't get too down
I'm sorry!

Youta-san covered for me...

Why did you cover for me?

W... wow!

Page 13
He's... cooking like he's performing magic!!

Here... Youta-san special "Sunflower Energy Lunch"
/did some simple help work

/ah, she took it

Youta-san's cute-

Page 14
Hey... what do you mean cute, when speaking to a senior?
Because octopus wiener and rabbit apple

This... is Master's portion!
I'll go hand it to him
/ah hey don't run!

I... can't stop myself

I like you so much it's sad

Page 15
Gochisousama-
Osomatsusama
/it was good

*Gochisousama is what you say after you eat a meal, and osomatsusama is the response by the cook

... I'm glad
Eh?

Aoi-chan is cuter when she's
Smiling like the sun

-... thank you very much

-... um
Youta-san...
Do you have a girlfriend?

-... hn?
I don't...

Page 16
I see-...
He doesn't have a girlfriend

... why, suddenly?
Ah... no!
Hahaha
It's probably so much easier doing housework if your boyfriend could cook like this

-... ah
um...
Um...
I...

Youta-san...
-... I
Aoi-chan!

I'll go make salad, do you want some?

Page 17
Ah... sure
Huh...?
/alright leave it to me

Did he just... deflect me?

Kuh~... it's pretty tough on your waist cleaning the floor by yourself
/kuh
/there's no doubt Master hurt his hip by mopping the floor
Young people slacking off on a daily basis is true

Diary...
I wonder if a customer dropped it?

Page 18
... my photo!?

No... if I look carefully it's different!
/ahh that was freaky!

But... she looks so similar
Master-...
I found a diary on the floor
Ahh... yes, a forgotten item

Ah... this is Youta-kun's
Eh?

That diary... has the photo of a girl in it?
Youta-san said he doesn't have a girlfriend yesterday!
That's-...
This photo...
Is of his old girlfriend?

Page 19
Master-...
His old girlfriend!?
/you know something!?
/ahh a devious girl
/how cunning
... that's not something you should hear from someone else's mouth

Please...
Tell me!
But...

Please
Please

Keep it a secret from Youta-kun, ok?
... ok

Youta-kun... before he started working here
He came here often... with his girlfriend in the photo

Page 20
But...
This store was also where they broke up

Youta-kun...
At the moment she stepped out of the store, said to her...
"I'll always be waiting at this store"

Immediately after that-...
Six months ago he began working part-time here...
I see... he still thinks of his old girlfriend...

... Youta-kun!?
Kya...

S... sorry!
It's not a story someone else should be talking about
I'm sorry... I forced him to tell me
... It's alright

Page 21
Eh?
It's alright... by now

It's just a story about the past...
/here, breakfast

-... So that's it...

Why he always stared at that door...
Is because he was waiting for his old girlfriend

Page 22
The past-... no...

I get it...

Knowing me, covering for me, being kind

All of it is because I look similar
... to his old girlfriend

Page 23
I was so happy...

That's true... if he still has her photo, then he's not over her yet
Hn...
/is your job alright?
/it's closed until 3~4

It feels like, wow~ what now

... so
Aoi is going to give up on Youta-san?

Page 24
... what else can I do
He loves her so much he still carries her photo
And... for me to confess to him, with how similar I look
Feels like cheating...

But... the one close to Youta-kun now is Aoi-chan!
You're still going to give way to the old girlfriend and give up?

What's more important is not the old girlfriend but the feeling of liking Youta-san

Page 25
-...hn
Alright...

Alright, I've decided...
I'm going to gather up courage and confess!
/go at it head on-
Alright!
That's Aoi!!

/good luck

Page 26
... Youta-san

Can I... not replace her?

Page 27
Just now... did he just mistake me for his old girlfriend?
W... welcome back
... Thanks!

Um... I'm sorry about this morning
No problem...

Page 28
It feels really stupid
To still be waiting here after six months...

Aoi-chan...
Did you see the photo in the diary?
I'm sorry!
When I picked it up I got a glance...

Ah...

She looks similar to Aoi-chan doesn't she?
When... I first saw Aoi-chan I was stunned

... Youta-san

Page 29
I-...
Youta-san..
Aoi-chan!

It's almost time for the store to open

... then
I can't be it

Page 30
Aoi-cha...
Even before I started working here...
I was always watching Youta-san!

I was happy I could finally talk to you...
I was so happy I could cry when you called me by my name
/what what

Even if it was just a bit...
I wanted you to see me!

... Aoi-chan!

Page 31
You left your belongings... and without a word ran out?
Yeah... Youta-san's probably angry
I ran out just before peak time for customers, too...
And Master isn't in the condition to move around...
Uwah... crap!!

But...
I can't continue the job anymore anyways

I don't know what happened...
But if you're going to stop, you need to tell them you're going to stop
It's rude for them if you just leave without a word

And Aoi doesn't want it to end like this either, right?
... yeah

You thought about him for half a year...
I need to go apologize...
... yeah

Page 32
Saying good bye like this...
I don't want to

This is probably...
My fault

Page 33
I... I'm sorry!

Saying such selfish things...
And flying out without thinking about work...

... I'm really sorry!!

Oh no... he's looking really scary!
What to do...
What to do!!

-... um
You said "look at me" yesterday, so I'm looking

Page 34
M... meanie!
/uh~~~~
Yep
/did you just notice?

/he laughed...

... Youta-san?
In the beginning, I was drawn to you because you looked like her

But-...
As that feeling got stronger
I thought I couldn't let it be like this...
It's rude to Aoi-chan

That's why I tried not to think about it and looked away

Page 35
But yesterday... when you left yesterday, I felt really empty, and I thought about why that was

My old girlfriend is perfect somewhere...
And was the type to never show her feelings to others

But Aoi-chan is hyper...
/sucks at cooking
And shows her emotions so well it's impossible to miss

When she cries...
/that's mean
She immediately laughs or gets angry
/like that!

With her expression rolling around changing and changing...
I became surprised

Page 36
She's entirely different from my old girlfriend...
A bright, straight-forward, smiling Aoi-chan

I liked that you so much...
That I couldn't figure out what to do

Page 37
I'm sorry...
/I made this yesterday, do you want to eat it?
/I'll eat it...

From the door I was always waiting for to open
I just realized that Aoi-chan stepped through

Page 38
Huh-?

Aoi... weren't you going to quit the job?
/what? quit
Ahahaaaaaaa

Come on-... Ryoko!
There's no way I'd quit at such a busy time~!?
/ok ok

Plus Aoi-chan has to keep being trained to cook by me
Uwah... that sounds like it'll take a lot of time
Yes-
... that's so cruel
/even though it's true

Page 39
Well... Aoi-chan
Just think of it as wife training!!

/uhyo-
Hn?

Uh... did I say something weird?

Spring term End
