Title: The stain that leads to the demon (Part 2)

2.

Box: Fujimori was defeated by the dirt demon, but…

Fujimori: Oww…

Box 2: That’s right, I was stabbed in the chest from behind.

Box 3: There was a lot of blood.

3.

Shinomiya: Good morning, Fujimori-kun. / Can you move?

Box: There’s no wound…

Fujimori: I got hurt yesterday, didn’t I?

Shinomiya: Yeah

--

Shinomiya: I healed you though.

In panel: Carrying you to your house was difficult

Shinomiya: Serious injuries like the one you got yesterday can’t be healed completely. / It hasn’t healed on the inside, but it won’t affect your life if it’s healed on the outside, right?

Fujimori: Shouldn’t it hurt…?

In panel: It’s not healed on the inside…is that okay?

4.

Box 1: The mark

Box 2: is smaller than it was yesterday, but…

Fujimori: Will I have to keep doing this forever?

--

Fujimori: I can’t get hurt like this every time! // You didn’t say anything about them attacking me! // Isn’t there another way?!

5.

Shinomiya: You don’t have a choice anymore. // You either obey me or be killed by me.

--

Shinomiya: You’re young, so you’ve got to value life. // Work hard hunting dirt demons.

In panel: Yep

Fujimori: You’re… // ANNOYING!

In panel: Ah~ He hates me

6.

Fujimori: Work hard? Even though he’s not going to help me… // He must be kidding…

Box 1: The mark soon grew.

Box 2: Having to hunt dirt demons in addition to my life up until now - because of the pain and lack of sleep, I feel as if I’m getting stressed more easily than before.

7.

Noda: Fujimori // There was a mistake in the part you did.

In panel: Here

Fujimori: Eh? That’s not possible… // It’s true… // I’m sorry, I’ll fix it right away.

Noda: No, that’s okay. I’ll fix it this time, but I’m counting on you next time.

Fujimori: Damn it...I haven’t made any mistakes until now…

Box: I can’t keep concentrating…

8.

Himemiya: Fujimori-kun / Fujimori-kun // Fujimori-ku---

Fujimori: WHAT IS IT?! // Ah… // Sorry, I haven’t had much sleep, so I’ve been feeling kind of irritable…

Himemiya: I was just a little surprised, that’s all… / Are you okay?

Text: I’m unable to smile anymore…

9.

Text 1: It’s a vicious cycle.

Text 2: What on earth am I doing this for?

10.

Nurse: You collapsed in gym class?

Sign: Nurse’s Room

Nurse: You probably have slight anaemia, so just rest until you feel better.

Shinomiya: You’re really worn out.

Fujimori: Shut up, death god.

Shinomiya: I told you I’m not a death god.

Fujimori: Demon. / Caterpillar. / Worm.

Shinomiya: I’m fine with death god…

Fujimori: I’ve got to go to class…

Shinomiya: Eh?! / You really do work hard. You should wait until you’ve fully recovered though…

11.

In panel:
Tch
You really are going

Himemiya: Fujimori-kun

Fujimori: Senpai…

Himemiya: Is something the matter?

Fujimori: I was just feeling a little dizzy…

Himemiya: I see… / You didn’t seem well… // It’s okay if you don’t attend the student council meetings for a while.

12.

Himemiya: I’ll manage somehow during that time. / Fujimori-kun, take your time resting. // Take care.

Box 1: Senpai

Box 2: To me

Box 3: that the same as saying “We don’t need you anymore”.

13.

Himemiya: You don’t have to come.

Text 1: At this rate…

Text 2: If I’m going to become one of those monsters

Text 3: Then now…

14.

Shinomiya: Hey… // Were you trying to die just now?

Fujimori: [small text: Tch] I wasn’t.

In panel: Ah, you clucked your tongue

Shinomiya: Eh…you’re lying.

Fujimori: I’m not!

Shinomiya: You can’t take the easy way out right away. [small text: I’ll probably heal you anyway.] // Because you’re young, if you don’t experience what it’s like to struggle---

15.

Fujimori: Shut up.

Text: I’ve had enough.

Fujimori: Anyway // I’m not gonna hunt anymore.

In panel: Defiant

Fujimori: Do whatever you like!

16.

Shinomiya: Eh…you’re giving up?

Fujimori: That’s right! / Kill me quickly when I become a dirt demon! // When I become a dirt demon, it’ll only be the people I hate that I attack, right?

Shinomiya: Well, yeah.

Fujimori: Then I might be able to get him back…

Shinomiya: But / I don’t think it’s that simple. // Well, I’ll take responsibility and hunt you hunt down.

Fujimori: Well, I’m going back to the life I had before you came! Don’t follow me anymore!

Shinomiya: I can’t do that. I don’t know when you’ll become a dirt demon.

Fujimori: Well, don’t come within a three metre radius of me! [small text: there should be no problem that way!]

17.

Fujimori: Okay! // I’m back to my life of being praised!

Himemiya: Okay // It’s complete now.

In panel:
[small text] What he’s thinking
[big text] Praise Praise

18.

Himemiya: See you, I’ve got to go to the staff room.

In panel:
What?
What’s with that guy?

Fujimori: Damn it…even though I spent so much time on it… // Her standards are too high, she could have sounded more grateful. // And…

19.

Fujimori: I can’t stand her being too nice to everyone.

Shinomiya: How unfortunate~ / Even though you worked hard making those yesterday… // I’ll also say this…

--

Shinomiya: A man’s jealousy is unpleasant…

In panel: Come here

Fujimori: Shinomiya-kun / Shinomiya-kun

20.

Fujimori: Shut up. Don’t try to talk to me.

Shinomiya: [small text: Oh no] I was talking to myself.

Fujimori: Tch…!

--

Fujimori: I’ve had enough. I feel like I’ll only regret getting involved with you.

In panel: You pulled my sleeve…

--

In panel: But I can’t help him

Fujimori: Tanaka got into a fight again. He’s so clumsy…

21.

[No text]

22.

Fujimori: Hey! Could he be turning into a dirt demon?!

Shinomiya: I’m not supposed to talk to you, remember?

Fujimori: When I talk to you, you can!

Shinomiya: [small text: You’re so selfish] Looks like it. I was suspicious the first time I saw him. // I feel sorry for him, but once someone gets like that, they can’t become human again.

23.

Shinomiya: All they want to do is hurt the people they hate, and that’s what they do. / Soon there won’t be anyone around them. // They continue wandering in that form until we hunt them.

Fujimori: Hmm, that’s good.

Shinomiya: What is…? // Huh?

Fujimori: Well, nowadays they are stories of people who are unable to put up with being bullied committing suicide. / Wouldn’t they be happier if they died after becoming a dirt demon and getting revenge?

24.

Shinomiya: Fujimori-kun / You’re such a child.

25.

Fujimori: Huh? // What’s up with him? I didn’t understand what he said…

Boy: AHHHH!

Fujimori: Wow…he’s pretty heartless…

26.

Fujimori: That’s right…they can’t see Tanaka now that he’s a dirt demon, so they can’t even dodge.

--

Fujimori: Himemiya-senpai! Look ou--- // Never mind…

In panel: I’m sure he liked her…

27.

Box: Eh?

28.

Fujimori: Why was Himemiya-senpai attacked? // It’s impossible that Tanaka could have hated her! // I’m sure he liked her!

Text 1: It can’t be…

Text 2: A human who’s become a dirt demon

Box: doesn’t only attack the people they hate…?

29.

Fujimori: Anyway, I’ve got to save her! // Shinomiya!

Shinomiya: Oh? Fujimori-kun, you’re curious about hunting dirt demons?

Fujimori: Himemiya-senpai was attacked! // What’s going on? Don’t humans who’ve become dirt demons only attack the people they hate?!

30.

Shinomiya: Well, essentially that’s right…but human feelings are complex. [small text: That’s why I said things aren’t that simple] / She was attacked, which means he must have had quite a grudge against her.

Fujimori: No way! She was the only person in school who was kind to him!

Shinomiya: Really?

Fujimori: Really…?

Shinomiya: Because there was love…doesn’t that mean there was also hate?

31.

Shinomiya: You like her too…but haven’t you ever felt annoyed at her?

Fujimori: No…

Shinomiya: Put it this way… // Haven’t you felt hurt or annoyed by little things she’s done?

Text 1: Anyway, her standards are too high.

Text 2: I can’t stand her being too nice to everyone.

Shinomiya: Himemiya-senpai was the only one kind to Tanaka-kun. // On the other hand… // Maybe he was ashamed at being bullied and thought “Why doesn’t she help me for once?”

32.

Shinomiya: “Love and hate are two sides of the same coin.” People have said some clever things in the past.

Box 1: Then

Box 2: Me too…?

33.

Fujimori: Senpai!

Shinomiya: Fujimori-kun, try your best! This is a chance to get more points!

Fujimori: SHUT UP!

In panel: Go for it!

Fujimori: Senpai! Are you okay?!

34.

Fujimori: Anyway, we’ve got to go somewhere he won't see us…

Himemiya: Fujimori-kun…

Fujimori: Senpai! Are you okay?!

Himemiya: What happened just now? // I saw Tanaka-kun… // When I approached him, he disappeared all of a sudden…

Fujimori: Senpai…

35.

Text 1: Am I

Text 2: the same as him?

Text 3: I’m sure that Tanaka didn’t think he hated Himemiya-senpai.

Text 4: If he did it unconsciously, then there’s no guarantee that I won’t be the same if I become a dirt demon.

36.

Fujimori: Wouldn’t they be happier if they died after becoming a dirt demon and getting revenge?

Text 1: That’s not a good thing.

Text 2: Being swallowed by your feelings and losing your sense of reason,

Text 3: then becoming a demon and even attacking the people you like.

Text 4: An ugly monster…

37.

Himemiya: Ah / Fujimori-kun!

Fujimori: As if I’d become one of those!

38.

Shinomiya: This is… // pretty bad… // Uwaa…

39-40.

[No text]

41.

Shinomiya: Tch…

42-43.

[No text]

44.

Fujimori: The mark… // I should be okay for a while now…

45.

Shinomiya: Ah, that was dangerous! I was almost done for!

In panel: Oww

Shinomiya: Fujimori-kun, you’ve gotten good at using the scythe! // Thanks for helping me!

In panel: Thanks…

46.

In panel: You really saved me~

Fujimori: Damn it! // If I’d let him die, I could have been free!

Shinomiya: Fujimori-kun, you stopped yourself becoming a dirt demon. // Well, I’ll be following you around for a little longer. // I look forward to working with you.

47.

Fujimori: NO! / You really are disgusting! Stay away from me!

Shinomiya: Try your best, Fujimori-kun. I’ll be waiting patiently until you die.

Fujimori: That’s too long!

--

Fujimori: Don’t talk to me unless I talk to you first. / Don’t come within a 5 metre radius of me. / Finally, stop doing disgusting and annoying things!

In panel: Okay, okay

Shinomiya: That last part was just him being abusive…

Text: Wait for my next appearance!
