Text: Boy VS. Demon

Box 1: Long ago,

Box 2: During an age when humans lived in fear of demons.

--

Yura: Damn! // Ha… / Ha… // I won’t let you go any further!

--

Demon: Flesh… // Flesh…

--

Demon: Fleeee…. / ssssh…

Page 3:

Yura: Ahhhh!

--

Yura: Ugh!

--

Demon: Fle…

Demon: sh…

--

Yura: Damn!

Page 4:

Yura: Urgh…

Page 5:

Shien: You’re… // a horned child?

--

Shien: Tch… / He got away…

Yura: Ah…

Shien: I don’t know why you attacked a demon, / but you should go home to your parents.

--

Yura: Are you… // Onikirimaru?

--

Shien: Hmph…that name’s become well known… // That’s not my real name though.

Page 6:

Yura: That’s great! Really great! // Onikirimaru-san! / Fight demons with me!

--

Shien: Who are you?

Yura: With Onikirimaru, it’ll be like having the power of hundreds of men!

--

Yura: Onikirimaru is a demon who kills other demons, right? // Please help me out!

--

Shien: I’m not a demon. / I don’t know what you’re thinking, but… // I kill demons for myself, / not to help others.

--

Shien: You’re annoying. Don’t make me say this twice. / Go home to your parents.

Yura: My parents…

Page 7:

Yura: I don’t have any parents… // They were eaten by that demon just now…

--

Shien: Revenge…?

--

Shien: I see…I think you know this, but… // Just like demons, horned people won’t be accepted by humans…

--

Shien: They’re hated, seen as being just like the demons that eat humans… // Find a way to live by yourself, / otherwise, you’ll die.

--

Yura: W-Wa… / Wait…

Shien: You’re persistent!

--

Yura: Wait!

--

Yura: Please… // Help me!

Shien: Who is he really?

Page 8:

Shien: A village…

--

Shien: It seems it’ll appear around here tonight…

--

Shien: That’s… // The kid from earlier…

--

Villager: Isn’t this town in danger too?

--

Villager: That’s right… / To think it’d end up like this…

Page 9:

Villager: Don’t wander into the mountains…

--

Yura: Kaya!

Kaya: Yura!

--

Kaya: Yura~~~

Yura: W-wha... / What’s wrong?

--

Kaya: Tatsu-san was attacked by a demon…

Yura: Eh?

--

Kaya: What about Yura?

Yura: Eh?

Kaya: I’m kind of scared… // Is your village okay, Yura?

Yura: Yeah, it’s okay.

--

Yura: It’s okay… // I’ll be okay… / I’ll protect you, Kaya.

Page 10:

Kaya: Really? // Thank you, Yura! That’s reassuring!

--

Yura: Hahaha! / Of course! // Leave it to me!

--

Yura: Well… / I’ll be going back to my village today… // I’m glad you’re looking well. / See you!

--

Shien: It was for that girl?

--

Shien: A human too… // You’re pretending to be from a neighbouring village…

Page 11:

Yura: Onikirimaru-san…

--

Shien: I told you that’s not my real name. / Don’t make me repeat myself. // My name is Shien.

--

Yura: Shien…

--

Yura: Shien…does that mean… // You’re going to help me?

--

Shien: Don’t misunderstand me. I came to warn you. // However much you care about that girl, / you’ll never be accepted.

Page 12:

Shien: For us to be accepted…

Young Shien: Wow! // Dad, that’s really good!

--

Father: Hahaha… // This is my job… / I can’t be bad at it.

Young Shien: But… // Why are you making demons’ masks?

--

Father: Hmm? Well… // Just like demons, we have horns, right?

--

Father: We’re just like humans though. / That’s what I want them to know. // Every mask is made from a single piece of wood. / Horned people were originally human.

Page 13:

Mother: Dear… / Shien won’t be able to understand that story yet…

--

Young Shien: Mother! // I do understand! / Don’t make a fool of me!

Mother: Ah, I’m sorry.

--

Text: My father was a horned person and my mother was human. // They lived away from humans… They were poor, but they lived happily…

--

Man: You… // How dare you…

--

Man: Take away my daughter, and bring her down to the level of a demon! // Having such a hateful child too!

Mother: Stop it, father!

Text: It happened in an instant.

Page 14:

Young Shien: Ah… // Mother…

--

Young Shien: Mother…

--

Father: Shien, wait!

--

Shien: My mother tried to help… // She protected me…

--

Man: No… / No… // Why?

Page 15:

Shien: My father went mad from anger. // A blue flame shot out from his body.

--

Text: He killed my grandfather, // and ate him.

--

Text: When their hatred reaches its limit, horned people become demons. // That was the first time I realised that…

--

Father: Shien…

Text: The reason humans hate horned people…

--

Text: The person who has transformed…

Young Shien: Father…

Text: has an abnormal desire to eat humans…

Page 16:

Text: Demons…

--

Young Shien: Ha… / Ha…

Text: That’s not my father…

--

Text: I too…

Young Shien: Uh…

Text: I too have a demon’s blood… // A demon’s horns too… // I hate it… // I don’t want to become a demon…

--

Text: If I… // If I’m able to be a demon that eats humans…

Page 17:

Text: Then I’ll change my heart into that of a demon. // Until humans forget about the existence of demons, // Until the day comes when humans and horned people can live together,

--

Text: I’ll kill demons!

Shien: For us to be accepted, / won’t happen until demons disappear from this world.

--

Shien: There’s nothing you can do. // Just don’t get in my way.

--

Yura: Of course I won’t!

Page 18:

Yura: That demon killed my mother and father. // Though that’s not the only reason I want to fight demons.

--

Yura: Kaya is…

Kaya: Shall we play together? // Are you from the neighbouring town?

Yura: Yeah… // The first friend I made…

--

Shien: However, that girl… // won’t accept who you really are.

--

Yura: That’s not true! // Kaya believes in me!

Page 19:

Shien: Well, okay then… // It’s not that I’m listening to your request… / If I keep on killing demons, you’ll get what you want anyway.

--

Yura: Yeah! // I knew it, Shien’s a good demon!

--

Shien: Cut it out…

Text: Sorry…

Shien: I’m not a demon… / and I’m not a good guy either…

--

Shien: Damn…who are you? // Don’t jump on me again. // Anyway, how can someone whose parents were just killed be so happy?

--

Yura: My mother… // Before she died…

--

Yura: Waaaah! Mother… / Mother!

Mother: Yura… / I’ll be gone soon, but…

Page 20:

Text: If you cry a lot now, // All that’s left will be happiness.

--

Mother: Yura, you mustn’t let your tears dry up…

--

Yura: That’s what she said… // I’ve already cried as much as I can, / so I’ll be happy from now on…

--

Yura: That’s what I’ve decided…

--

Shien: From now on… // He’s the complete opposite of me…

--

Shien: Give it up…

Yura: No way! / Not a chance!

--

Shien: I told you to cut that out.

Page 21:

Yura: N-No… / way!

--

Villagers: It’s a demon! // A demon appeared!

Page 22:

Demon: Flesh… // More… // Flesh…

--

Kaya: Ha… / Ha…

--

Demon: Flesh… // I’ve found it!

--

Yura: Wait!

Page 23:

Yura: I won’t let you lay a hand on Kaya!

--

Demon: GRRRRRR!

--

Kaya: Yura!

Yura: Ka…ya…

--

Demon: Flesh… // Give it to me…

Page 24:

Demon: Urgh…

--

Shien: He withstood the attack… / The wound on his arm healed too… // I won’t let him get away this time…

--

Villager 1: Oni… / Onikirimaru…

Villager 2: Onikirimaru…?

--

Villager: What? You haven’t heard of him? // He’s a demon who kills only demons. // It doesn’t seem to be to help us humans. / We’ve got involved in a fight between demons.

Page 25:

Demon: Flesh… // GUH! / URGH!

--

Yura: Ahhhh!

Kaya: Eek!

--

Yura: Ah!

Page 26:

Yura: Shien… / the villagers!

--

Shien: Tch…

Page 27:

Yura: Shien!

--

Villager: Ah… / Ah…

--

Yura: Shien! // Why don’t you help them?! // Shien! // SHIEN!

Page 28:

Shien: Shut up!

--

Demon: GRRRRR!

--

Shien: This is his last resort, huh?

Page 29:

Shien: More important than anything else, all demons must be

--

Text: KILLED!

Text: Demon Fire!

Shien: Your demon fire is no use! // This is the end!

Page 30: [RAW page]

な…／／鬼火を分身に使っただと…
Text: What? // He used the Demon Fire as a distraction?!

Page 31:

Shien: ARGH!!!

--

Shien: Damn… // Being beaten here…

--

Yura: Shien…

--

Shien: Never mind about the others…

--

Shien: The demon…

Page 32:

Yura: The fire is surrounding us… // Kaya! Let’s get out of here!

Kaya: No…I can’t move…

--

Yura: Eh? It’s okay…See! // Hold onto me.

--

Kaya: Yura...that’s…

--

Yura: Ah… / Ah! // It’s not what you think… / More importantly, let’s get out of here!

--

Yura: Ka…ya…?

Page 33:

Villager: Ah!

--

Villager 1: That kid’s a demon too…

Villager 2: He was tricking us, intending to eat us…

--

Yura: Ah! // Wait!

Villager: Damn! // Damn it!

--

Shien: It’s just as I said…

--

Shien: However much we struggle, // Humans will only see us as demons.

Page 34:

Yura: Kaya... / Watch out!

--

Kaya: No! / Let go of me! // Help me!

--

Yura: Kaya… // I don’t want to become a demon!

--

Yura: I just want to protect Kaya…

--

Kaya: Yura…

--

Yura: Even though I have the blood of a demon… // I want to become human!

Page 35:

Father: Shien… Thank you for making me human again…

Young Shien: Father, if we were really human… // Then maybe this wouldn’t have happened…

--

Shien: I see…I wanted to be a demon too…

Father: Humans and horned people // were all the same in the past…

Shien: I didn’t kill demons…

Page 36:

Shien: Yura… // You taught me something important.

--

Shien: I was just about to be overcome by my hatred.

Yura: Shien…

--

Demon: Fle… / sh… // Flesh… / Flesh…

--

Shien: That’s right; demons don’t worry about those things.

--

Shien: However much they struggle, a demon is a demon.

Page 37:

Shien: At this point… // You’re already human…

--

Demon: Fle… // ssssh!

Page 39:

Shien: You… / demon… // I’m human too.

Page 40:

Shien: Yura… / Is this really okay?

--

Yura: Yes… / Just like Shien said… // Now they’ve seen my horns, I can’t be here anymore.

--

Shien: Well, what about that then?

--

Yura: Eh?

--

Yura: Kaya!

Page 41:

Yura: Shien! // Kaya said… / She said “Come back again!”

--

Shien: Yura. / I told you not to jump on me again, didn’t I?

Text: I mean, you’re energetic…

Yura: Shien… // You’re acting kind of funny…

--

Shien: If you cry a lot, then there’s only one thing left, right?

--

Box 1: In the future, the days where horned people are feared by humans will come to an end

Yura: Haha… / Shien, you’re crying too? // Sorry!

Box 2: But we don’t know when that will be…
