Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 58

I'll admit that maaaybe I misunderstood some things, but the intent was pretty clear. That being said, I'm really surprised this series is going to keep on going. This would have been a pretty decent final chapter.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

HITORIBOCCHI NO CHIKYUU SHINRYAKU

002
Boy: A star fell from the sky.
It was so briiiight and shiny!
Oh? Was it a huge shooting star?
Wasn't it a meteorite?
Old dude: The mountains? I did say I'd go to the mountains with my wife...
Old lady: Ah you did say that.
Old dude: Hm? Did I...
(Sfx- Pih beep)

005
Ayla: Nozomi!
Today's the time for it...
It'll start from 6:00 so be sure to come thirty minutes early.
Nozomi: Got it.

006
Nozomi: Would you like to go together?
Ayla: Huuh? Why would I go out of my way to go with you...
Nozomi: It's fine.
You're totally making a “I want to go together” face.

007
Ayla: I guess...
Sure.
May I please?
Nozomi: Ah, before we go to the assembly hall, I have a quick detour to make, is that okay?
Ayla: Sure, just make sure you change.

008
Ayla: How many years has it been left like this....it looks like it was quite a fine house too...
Nozomi: This room.

009
Ayla: What's that?
Nozomi: The mother of the Goz soldiers.
It kept shaving away at it's own body until it finally rotted into this.
It would seem my older sister and Zoki were making soldiers here...
Ayla: Now that Zoki's been defeated, the soldiers have disappeared and there doesn't seem to be anything here anymore...
These are Maaya's...!
Nozomi: I might be upset at her...
But I will take these...
Sister.

010
Ayla: Say...
I've been watching the news all morning...
And as expected people are beginning to notice.
Nozomi: But of course.

011
Nozomi: Even though we used magic to fool the people of the city...
It's not as if absolutely nothing happened...
We got here really early.
Ayla: This way we won't run into anyone else...
???: Ayla-san, Ootori-san.

012
Ryu: Thank you for coming here early today.
Nozomi: Ryuu-niisan.
Ryuu: Ootori-san, what happened to your arm?
Nozomi: I took a little fall...
Ayla: Um..
I'd like to offer my condolences on this sad occasion...
Ryuu: It seems you two don't know about Koichi...
(Sfx- N? *Hm?)
Ayla: Koichi?
Ryuu: He was around when they put the body in the coffin, but now he's missing..

013
Rico: Nyaaaah~
Nozomi: You're alone Rico-kun?
Ryuu: I know how tough this is for Koichi however,
This is his last chance to say his farewells to Nagi.
Nozomi: E—Excuse me..
I think I know where he is! I'll bring him along!
Ryuu: Really?
???: Nozomi!
Ayla: We're relying on you!

014

015
Nozomi: Hirose-kun.

016
Nozomi: Ryuu-niisan is worried...
Koichi: Nagi and I would come here to play back in the day.
People would rarely come here...
But you understood where I was right away Senpai.
I don't have that kind of power.
I..
I thought that I had become stronger.

017
Koichi: When Zoki provoked me, I lost my consciousness and everything after that felt like a dream.
At that time my body felt completely free...
And I thought I could do anything.
And so I really believed I had become stronger.
Did you have a look at the city?
I thought I could fix things like you did senpai..
But in the end I could only fix the center where the snow had fallen...and he rest of the city remains destroyed.
Moreover...
I can't heal the wounded people.
So what's the point of having this kind of power?

018
Nozomi: This city was...
Koichi: I protected it from Zoki...?
But I wasn't able to save Nagi though.
Nor was I able to keep my promise to protect you.
Why am I the one who's still alive when Nagi isn't?
We were born the same day....we were always together....

019
Koichi: Why...why is it only me...!
Nozomi: Hirose-Kun...!
Koichi: Just what was the difference...
Between Nagi and I?!

020
Koichi: From the time we were born he was always sick and in pain..
And then ten years after that Zoki was born right?
Because he surrendered his body to him!
Maybe if I were in Nagi's place....
Maybe things might have been different!
Did you know...
During the all night vigil...
Nagi's body wasn't inside the coffin.

021
Koichi: Gramps, Ryuu-nii and his friends from school....everyone...
For the sake of Nagi who's nowhere to be found they...
At this rate..
At this rate Poor Nagi will...
No one will know why he was even born...!
Nozomi: The meaning of being alive?

022
Nozomi: Is there any particular meaning behind living?
Yeah, that's right...
Hirose-kun is..

023
Nozomi: Is thinking of Nagi-kun's story...
You don't want it to end there...you want a story from beginning to end.
But you know, Hirose-kun...
I was thinking.

024
Nozomi: When terrible things happen...
Telling one to bear the pain isn't insensitive...
Because that's what it is to be alive.
There will be times where you have grudges, feel unfulfilled, and have to speak your mind.
But I think that's fine.
However, even then...

025
Nozomi: I won't stop expecting things from you Hirose-kun.
Because being able to keep moving is humanity's strength...!!
The meaning of life isn't devoting oneself to a single person!
Because we're all connected to someone deep down and that's why we keep living...!!

026
Nozomi: The one who creates a reason for Nagi-kun to have been alive...
Is you yourself, Hirose-kun...!
Rather than a person who recites poems as they lose themselves to disappointment and despair,
I prefer a person who can tell the story of humanity

027
Nozomi: While moving forward.
Hirose-kun...
Koichi: Senpai, I...
I loved Nagi.

028
Koichi: With all of my heart.
Nozomi: ...I know.
