left txt: The graceful trick only "Pledge Queen" can run!


p2


p3
#: This is incredible, it's as if...
//: there are eight pledge queens...

#: It said in the report that... by using the "Pledge Regalia" to link with the pledge queen,
//: the "sense" of a genius is shared among the linked people and all of them can use the abilities of the "queen"...

#: It really is... incredible.
#: ...the pledge queen...
#: And Sumeragi-san only just became the pledge queen recently too...


p4
#: Or rather!
//: Kururu, didn't you and Ikki-kun
#: live together for a while?
* - She words it so it sounds like Kururu and Ikki lived together as a couple.

#: Live...?
//: Eh?

girl: Konomi-san! Don't say it like that, everyone will misunderstand...
konomi: There is no misunderstanding!
//: The two of them really did live together!
ringo: Umm...
kanon: It was just for a few days before the battle between White Wolf Clan and Kogarasumaru...
ringo: H-Hmph... I've been living together with Ikki ever since we were small...
girl: Th-Then... can you at least stop doing that with your hands?

#: I guess
//: it was then,


p5
#: when Kururu changed... or rather,
//: became strangely more mature.

#: ...did... did something... *cough*... happen?
#: Well something had to have happened to change her!!
//: You think so too right?
//: What happened!? What do you think happened!?

#: ...The whole time they were together...
//: she spent it all listening to Ikki-kun's heartbeat
//: ...that's what she told me.
#: That's sexy!
#: What!? Are you serious!?
#: Wait... what do you mean...?


p6
#: Kanon... Ikki-kun and I are both "kings"...
#: yet something is different between us...

#: The sounds I hear coming from inside Ikki-kun...
#: they're all... so reassuring...

#: I wonder what's different about me...
#: Well, of course you'd be different, because of this and that.
#: Huh!!? Di-Different!? Umm... This is...

#: Since I was listening to his heartbeat the whole time...
//: I think I get it now.


p7
#: The sound that Ikki-kun had, but was lacking from me
#: was the sound of "dreams".
#: am I right?

#: Did Sumeragi-san ask...? About umm... Ikki's dream...?
#: Nope. I doubt he told her directly.

#: When you're thinking of something, when you say something,
//: the "sound" of your heartbeat changes.
#: That is the "heart's voice".

#: See? It's much more honest than something like words!!


p8
#: Ikki-kun
#: wants to become the "sky".

#: Yeah... I think you're right.
#: He wants to break through every part of this narrow sky...
#: and fly freer than anyone... in the sky...


p9
#: ...hmmm...

#: Sumeragi-san...
#: really knows Ikki well...

#: I was always thought I was the only one who really knew Ikki...
#: but what this...?

#: I'm kind of happy... but I'm also regretting something....
#: ...It's a complicated feeling...

#: KURURU~ KURURU~ come here!
//: Hey!! So then, did you end up telling him!?
#: Eh?
#: ...ah... what!? I'm calculating the octaves right now...

#: Your "dream"
#: you told all of us you found one!!

#: Eh? Umm... about that...
//: I don't really get what you're talking about,
#: stop it, you're embarrassing me!!
outside: I'm... calculating...

#: Yes, yes!! President!!
//: I want to know too!
small: Tell us!! Tell us!!
outside: President?
#: Why... why are you so excited about this...


p10
#: I... umm... what to help Ikki-kun...
//: but as not to hinder him... I need to try harder...
//: yeah, so...

#: But... I'm not a rider... but an engineer,
#: and when someone breaks something someone else worked hard to make... no matter what it is...

#: it's
//: sad.

#: If Ikki-kun wants to break the "sky",
#: then I'm sure it will worry and and sadden a lot of people...


p11
#: I
#: want to become the engineer that repairs that broken sky.


p12
#: Looks like we've taken care of most of them.
#: Yeah.

#: Sumeragi-san

#: has already grown up
#: to be a much more worthy "king" than me...

#: She's trying to become someone who doesn't lose to
#: that giant sky of Ikki's.


p13
#: Become Ikki's
#: number one supporter...

#: I'm such an idiot...
//: I'd already lost the moment I said that...


p14-15
#: Are you two alright!?

#: Su-Sumeragi-san!
left: Sumeragi-san!
down: I-I'm so sorry...
#: Mnn...
#: Kururu!!

#: I...
small: Ouch...
#: I'm fine...
//: The bullet... missed...
#: ...Sumeragi-san.

#: ...
//: EH!?
//: Ah!
#: Ahhh!!
#: Su...
//: Sume...

#: That's...


p16
#: D-Don't tell me... that's...
#: the "storm"... rega-...!
