MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER

(Middle text- A puppet show beyond your wildest dreams is about to start. Now enjoy the show!!)

Act 14: Puppet
ASOU HARO

002

Shunpei: Hyde----

Hyde?

Hyde where are you?

That’s weird…

Where did he get to?

Huh?

{To Shun- I was (flo) bored and went out for a walk. Hyve}

003

Shunpei: NGYAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

004

Hyde: Yanno, hanging out here at the park by myself…

Isn’t a bad way to kill some time.

Men need time off too!

005

Shunpei: I FOUND YOU!!!

HYDE!!!

Hyde: What are you doing Shun?!

Shunpei: You shouldn’t move around in front of other people!!

You’re not exactly an everyday occurrence you know!!

Hyde: Men live freely.

Other people just have to learn to accept it!

Shunpei: Classic.

You’re just sitting at the park though!

Boy: Hey mom!

That guy over there is talking to his teddy bear! Isn’t he too old for that?

006

Mom: Now now Taku-chan…

It’s rude to simply assume things about that boy.

In this day and age, there are so many stressors that poor children like him talk to anyone or anyTHING to feel better about themselves.

Now take my hand and let’s go.

Boy: Okay.

Shunpei: We’re going HOME Hyde.

Hyde: ..Su—Sure thing.

Shunpei: What’s going on over there?

There are so many people…is there some kind of event?

Hyde: Let’s have a look Shun my boy!

Shunpei: I dunno, can a certain bear promise not to move?

007

Prince: Now evil clown knight! I will take back the fair lady Monica….

In the name of the fair Prince Erik! Will you flee? Or fall victim to my wrath?

Shunpei: A puppet show…

I didn’t think they still did that…

Kid: You’re the man Prince Erik!

Kid2: Beat him down!!

Monica: Oh my dear Prince Erik…

Please save me!!

Erik: I will destroy all evil!

You hideous clown!!

I will destroy your ugly face and take back the princess!!

Clown: Hohohohoh

You talk big, but lets see if you’ve got what it takes!

008

Clown: Hahah!

Erik: Yah!!

Clown: Hohoho!!

Erik: Hi-yah!!

Kid: Don’t lose!!

Prince Erik!!

Erik: Nugh!!

Clown: Hohoho!

Erik: Nughaaa!!

Kid: Oh no!!

Watch out Prince Erik!!

Clown: HOhoho!!!

Erik: Guaaah!!

Clown: Hohohohohoho!!!

Erik: Gyaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!

Kid: Uh…

Prince Erik?

(TN- Shunpei’s expression is priceless.)

009

Clown: The only reason why you can hold your head up high is because you’ve got a nice looking face!!! How can you understand my feelings…

As someone who isn’t the same?!

You’ll destroy all evil?

Well today YOU’RE the evil one!!

Mom: Don’t look!

Quickly! Let’s go home!

Clown: Being defeated is the only evil!!

Go to hell Prince crappy!!

HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!

HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!

Shunpei: What’s up with this show?!

???: And so splendidly…

Did the heroic clown defeat the evil prince….

010

???: And then lived happily…

With the Princess Monica for many many years.

Shunpei: No way…this guy…

???: It is so.

I will be your next opponent.

011

Shunpei: Eh---?!

???: Follow me.

Hyde: Heh, I guess I must be gettin’ good at this, to think that coming out here would lead us to our next target.

Heh

So now what buddy? You gonna start this dance off?

???: The legendary magical king Closer’s blood pumps through you Closer-sama.

Of course I will in grand fashion…

Engage you in battle for it…

012

???: I’m sorry for not saying so earlier…

My name is Kefman.

I have journeyed here Closer-sama to end your life, and start on a new stage magician hood.

Hohohoho

It is a pleasure to meet you…

Hyde: Man…

You’re beginning to make me wish I had kept walking.

013

Hyde: We ain’t gonna let some soldier look alike come and do as he wishes!

Let’s do this Shun my boy, we’ll send this boy home crying!

Shunpei: Yeah!!

Hyde: Texas Chainsaw!!

Kefman: Masaka Marionette!!

014

Hyde: Get back Shun!!

015

Shunpei: Huh…

This---This is?!

Wires?!

Hyde: That’s some magic you got there!

Shunpei: Hyde?!

Hyde: My Texas chainsaw is a ‘destructive power.’ But it’s rather big and unwieldy….

That guy’s ‘Masaka Marionette’…

It’s a clean cut.

Touching the wire in any way is a game over.

So you’d better watch your back Shun my boy!

016

Kefman: Hoho…

It’s a splendid attack to see…

But you can’t understand it unless you feel it.

Of course it goes without saying it’s nearly impossible to see the wires and avoid them.

Or do you still have foolish hopes that you can do just that?

Hyde: Why is it that the small fries like to talk so big?

I can see your movements perfectly fine.

So the wires are no big deal!

Serves you right for being a one trick pony!!

017

Kefman: GYAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Shunpei: All right!!

Kefman: M-m-my arm!!

I-i-i-i-i-i-i-IT HURTS!!!

018

Hyde: Sorry, but that power’s just not enough.

Come back when you’ve grown up some.

Kefman: Hohoho…

I….

Don’t have enough power you say?

Hohohohoho

Hohohohohohohohohohohoho!!!

Shunpei: What’s with this guy?

Hyde: It’s not over yet…!!

019

Shunpei: What’s so funny?

Kefman: Hohohoho….

The two of you….

You actually thought for a moment you had clenched victory.

But you will never win!

Not as long as you have those two weaknesses!!

Shunpei: Two…..

Weaknesses?!
