What is Your Fear?

Page 01
Sidetext：戦場へと降り立つ前。二人の作戦会議――――！？
A pre-landing meeting of the minds-----!?

Rukia：恋次！
Renji!
Renji：何だよ？
What?

Rukia：下に着いてからの事を少し決めておこう
Let’s decide what we’re going to do after landing
Renji：？
?
Renji：決めたじゃねーか
We already did, didn’t we?
Renji：別行動して敵を撃破しながら
Split up, regroup somewhere, then storm the castle
Renji：適当なトコで合流して城に突入すんだろ？
All while obliterating the enemy, right?

Rukia：そうではない
That’s not what I’m talking about
Rukia：手筈の把握が雑なのはおいといて・・・
Your tenuous grasp of the plan aside…
Rukia：その事ではない！
That’s not what I meant!

Rukia：下に着けばそこは敵陣の真っ只中だ
When we land, we’re going to be right in the middle of enemy territory
Rukia：その中で多数の敵に囲まれて鍛錬した我々でも分が悪い
We’ll be surrounded by numerous hostiles. Those are poor odds, even with our training

Rukia：だが　お前は必ず馬鹿の様に目立つ戦い方をするだろう
However, you will almost certainly fight in a foolish way that draws attention to yourself
Renji：そんなこと・・・
Hey, that’s not-
Rukia：それはまあいい
It’s fine
Rukia：もう諦めている
I’ve resigned myself to that fact
Renji：お・・・おう・・・
O…Okay…

Page 02
Rukia：だから
That is why
Rukia：一戦ごとに必ず身を潜めろ！
You must go into hiding after every battle!
Rukia：間違っても敵に先手を打たせるな！
Under no circumstances do we let the enemy gain the upper hand!

Rukia：わかったな！
Got it!?
Rukia：恋次！！
Renji!!

Renji：・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
……………………
Renji：・・・そうか　朝か・・・
…Morning, huh…?

Renji：よォ~~~~~し・・・
Aaaaaall right…
Renji：こんだけ身を潜めりゃもう大丈夫だろ・・・
That oughta be enough hiding…
Renji：次の星十字騎士団を探しに行くか・・・
Guess I’ll go look for the next Stern Ritter…

Nanana：・・・・・・・・・・・・
…………
Nanana：・・・なんてヤローだ・・・
...That son of a bitch…

Page 04
Nanana：マジで寝てやがった・・・・・・
He was really sleepin’……

Nanana：マスク・ド・マスキュリンのヤローを殺ったのがどんな奴かと来てみたら
I came here to check out who took down that Mask De Masculine bastard
Nanana：爆睡してるバカがいやがるモンだから
And it’s some dumbass who’s sound asleep
Nanana：罠だと思って用心して観察してたら・・・
Thinking it was a trap, I carefully observed him…
Nanana：まさか朝まで寝やがるとは・・・
And he slept all the way ‘till dawn. Unbelievable…

Nanana：敵陣の真ン中でマジで寝てると思わねえだろフツー・・・
Normally you don’t think someone’d really be sleeping right smack in the middle of enemy territory…

Nanana：―――――だが
-------But
Nanana：そいつが運の尽きだぜ
That’s where your luck runs out

Page 05
Nanana：こんなに長い時間
I’ve never observed an enemy
Nanana：敵を観察した事は無え
For that long

Nanana：オメーは終わりさ
Your ass is grass
Nanana：レッドモンキー
Red Monkey

Sidetext：迫る危機・・・！！
An impending crisis…!!

Page 06
Rukia：―――――本当に・・・
-------I really…
Rukia：護廷隊の霊圧を感じない・・・
Don’t feel the reiatsu of any Gotei squad members…
Rukia：それ程までに死神側が劣勢だという事か・・・・・・
I suppose that’s just how bad this situation is for the Shinigami side……

Rukia：・・・まあ
…Well
Rukia：霊圧の数が少なかったおかげで虎徹副隊長を発見できたのだが・・・
The small number of reiatsus did make it thankfully easy to find Vice-Captain Isane, though…

Page 07
Rukia：しかし・・・
Still…
Rukia：護廷隊と同様に滅却師側の気配も感じない・・・
I can’t sense the Quincys’ presence, either…

Rukia：これならば・・・
In this situation…
Rukia：恋次の合流を待って敵の居城に一気に攻め入れるのも手かも知れぬな・・・
The best course of action may be to wait for Renji and force our way into the enemy stronghold together…

Page 08
Rukia：！？
!?

Rukia：何だ・・・
What…
Rukia：今の感覚は・・・！？
Was that sensation…!?
Rukia：霊圧なのか・・・？
Reiatsu…?

Rukia：何者だ・・・
Who’s there…?
Rukia：どこに居る・・・
Where are you…?

As Nodt：あはっ
Aha!
As Nodt：怖イ？
Did I frighten you?

Page 09
As Nodt：僕ハ
I
As Nodt：淋シイ
Am so lonely

Rukia：・・・何だ
...Who the hell
Rukia：貴様は・・・
Are you…?

As Nodt：・・・淋シイ
…I’m lonely

As Nodt：淋シイ
Lonely
As Nodt：淋シイ
Lonely
As Nodt：淋シイヨウ・・・・・・・・・
Soooo lonely………

Page 10
As Nodt：僕ノ
Do you know
As Nodt：千本桜ハどこ？
Where my Senbonzakura went?

Rukia：！！
!!

Rukia：そうか・・・
I see…
Rukia：貴様が兄様の卍解を奪った・・・・・・・・・
You’re the one who stole Nii-sama’s Bankai………

Rukia：エス・ノト・・・・・・・・・・・・
As Nodt…………

Page 11
As Nodt：君ヲ
I know
As Nodt：知ッテヰる
Who you are

As Nodt：朽木白哉ノ妹
You are Kuchiki Byakuya’s younger sister
As Nodt：朽木ルキア
Kuchiki Rukia

As Nodt：朽木白哉ハどこ？
Where is Kuchiki Byakuya?

Rukia：・・・貴様に答える義理は無い
…I have no obligation to answer you

Page 12
As Nodt：君ヲ殺セば
If I kill you
As Nodt：此処へ来ルかな？
Do you think he’ll show up?

Rukia：そうかも知れぬな！
He just might!

Rukia：（あの光の棘が当たった所から何かが染み出している・・・）
(Something comes seeping out from every place those light spikes strike…)
Rukia：（あれが奴の能力“恐怖”か・・・？）
(Is that his “fear” ability…?)

Rukia：！
!

Rukia：「袖白雪」

As Nodt：アハっ
Aha!

As Nodt：無駄ダよ
It’s no use
As Nodt：“恐怖”ハ氷ジャ防ゲナい
“Fear” cannot be defended against with ice

Page 16
As Nodt：あは
Aha
As Nodt：あはっ
Aha!
As Nodt：あはっ
Aha!
As Nodt：あは
Aha

As Nodt：動ケナヰね？
Can’t move?
As Nodt：仕方が無い
That can’t be helped
As Nodt：其レが“恐怖”
For that is “fear”
As Nodt：恐怖トは
And that
As Nodt：然ウヰウモノダよ
Is how fear is

Page 17
Rukia：・・・これが・・・
…This…
Rukia：恐怖・・・
Is fear…?

As Nodt：然ウだ
Yes

Rukia：―――――ならば
-------Then
Rukia：貴様の恐怖とは何だ？
What is your fear?

As Nodt：―――・・・何？
-----…What?

Rukia：“恐怖”が通じぬ事は
Is your “fear”
Rukia：貴様にとって“恐怖か”？
When “fear” doesn’t have any effect?

Sidetext：兄を苦しめた“恐怖”に打ち克つ―――――！！
Overcoming the fear that plagued her brother-------!!
