BOKU TO MAJO NO JIKAN.
ARAKAWA SHIN.

11th hour: Friend 'If it can be said to be good morning'.

002

Mari: Good Morning...

Tsudzuri-kun?

(Side text- There's something about Mari!!)

Enji: ….

Mo--

Mornin' Mizuta. What's up?

Mari: Fufufu...

Tsudzuri-kun...It seems you don't understand.

I have...

At long last bought a cell phone.

Enji: ….Oh really? Well congrats on that.

Mari: Tsudzuri-kun, could you tell me your mail address? I'll record it in Celly-chan (Cell phone's name.) Splendidly!!

003

(Side text- Tsuzuri Enji// Lucky//080)

Mari: Ehehe...

Now with yours, Naito-kun's, Susutake-kun's, and Hakuu-san's addresses in my phone, I'm up to seven friends!!

(1: Step Dad's// 2: Step Brother's//3: Step Sister's//4: Tsudzuri// 5: Susutake// 6: Naitou// 7: Hakuu)

Mari: My friends list is getting so huge I might need a second phone!

Enji: That's....awesome?

Mari: I wonder what picture I should use for you?

004

{Unable to speak.}

Rantarou: 'Sup?

Enji: Rantarou?!

(Handwritten: What are you doing?!)

Mari: Wha...

What are you doing?!

Rantarou: Gngh!!

Mari: What on earth are you doing?!

Moreover why are you at our school?

Rantarou: I just came to hang out! Relax!

(Handwritten- Owie...)

Mari: Why?! Why would you come here?!

005

Rantarou: Hey boobs, I heard you got a new phone! Want my mail address?

Once I tell you you'll have 8 people on your friends list right?

Mari: Why would I want you on my friends list!

Now go away! If you don't I'll blow you to bits!

Rantarou: What? Do you hate me?

Enji: Obviously.

Rantarou: Fine fine. Here. I was gonna give this to Hakuu, but you can have it.

Maybe it'll fix things up between the us?
Mari: What is it?

Rantarou: A stone I found by the lake.

It looks kinda like a mini fossil doesn't it? Cute huh?

Mari: Explode.

006

Rantarou: NOOOOOOOO!!

Why the hell did you do that, gigaboobs?!

It's not a rock any more but sand!!

Mari: It's filthy! Deplorable!

Enji: I've never seen Mizuta like this...

(Handwritten- Scary...)

Rantarou: Dammit! Imma put a curse on you!

With this curse, your precious cellphone will get busted!

Mari: Cursed?

As if I'm going to be scared of something that's so unscientific.

Besides this phone is suuuuuuuper important to me!

007

Rantarou: Awwright! I'll see you after school!

???: Hey! Are you slacking off from your cleaning duties again?!

Enji: Hey Mizuta, anything the matter? You seem sorta down.

Mari: Th—The truth is..

My phone broke.

Enji: Huh?

008

Mari: I bumped into someone and dropped my phone.
(Handwritten- The screen looks like a spider's web.)

Mari: And a girl walked by and then stepped on it.

Enji: Stepped?

Mari: I would go and buy a new cellphone, but I can't do that...

Since I don't have that kind of money.

Enji: That sucks...

Rantarou: Hahahah!! To think my curse would work that quickly!

Enji: Like we asked before, why are you here?

Mari: I don't even have the energy to deal with Rantarou...

I'm going home and to bed.

Rantarou: For real?

That's a drag.

009

Enji: I'm gonna talk to Hakuu about this.

Huh?

That's rare...I mean for us to have customers here.

Hakuu: Oh? You've not met?

And you wanted to ask me something?

Enji: Oh, well Mizuta bought a cellphone and then broke it.

She doesn't have enough money to get another though.

010

Hakuu: Actually this girl was just asking me the same thing.

Girl: U—um..

Rantarou: Huh?

What? I can't hear you when you speak to yourself like that. Just say what's on your mind.

???: Sorry, this girl is a bit on the shy side. She gets embarrassed easily.

{Midorikawa Yaeka// Shy girl.}

{Tanabashi Momo// Pleasantly plump girl.}

Momo: She's no good with talking to strangers.

Hakuu: She's apparently the one who broke Mari's cellphone.

Enji: Is that so?

Momo: Mizuta-san laughed it off...

But she feels really bad about the whole thing.

011

Rantarou: More importantly...

Are you two kris?

Momo: Yeah.

Enji: Kris?!

Kris can just normally go to school with other people?

Rantarou: What's up with that Hakuu? You didn't tell Tsudzuri?

Hakuu: It never really came up.

From the Era of Edo to the prewar days Benihi city was known as a city of freaks.

During that time it became taboo for kris to show their faces if they didn't wan tto be ridiculed.

The decendents of back then now populate the city today in great numbers.

Enji: A city of freaks, huh...

Rantarou: More like, what kind of kris are you two?

012

(Sign- I don't want to answer.)

Rantarou: At least answer using your mouth!! How shy are you?!

Momo: Sorry, she's really just a shy little thing.

(Handwritten- So cut her some slack.)

Momo: Its to keep her mimesis from breaking down.

Enji: Mimesis?

Hakuu: Think of it as a mask that allows certain kris to fit into society.

Rantarou: ….And what about you? Are you Majin Buu?

Momo: Who's Majin Buu?! Where are you even getting this?!

Hakuu: Breaking Mari's cellphone was an accident..

But to make up for it, you want to work at this store to earn back the money?

Enji: I get it. So you guys are discussing ways to make money?

Rantarou: Though let me tell you, making money is hard work Tsudzuri.

013

Momo: Since I'm sort of like her chaperone, I'll work here too.

(Yaeka's sign: Pleased to work with you.)

Momo: It's only until we pay back the cell phone, but we're pleased to work with you.

Enji: Yup, sounds good.

{And so when the two had a break from school, they came to work.}

Yaeka: Um...your order...

Dude: Huh?!

What did you say?

(Handwritten- That's weird...)

(Handwritten- I think I'm stuck.)

{It soon became apparent that serving customers wasn't exactly their strong point, so instead they were put on cooking duty.}

{It was there that they were met with success. Their cooking with Hakuu's stove resulted in food that had a taste beyond compare.}
(Handwritten- T—Tasty...)

(Handwritten- That's my food!)

(Handwritten- First come first serve, loser!)

{Customers would frequent the shop in great numbers because of their cooking.}

014

Hakuu: And here’s your pay.

You did a great job, and not only that you two were a huge help!

Enji: Awesome. Now you can buy a new phone for Mizuta.

Guys: Don't stop working here please!!

Your food is the only reason we come!!

We can't bear the idea of eating Hakuu-chan's cooking!!

Hakuu: Huuuh?

015

Hakuu: What'd you say about my cooking?

Customers: Time for us to go home~

Rantarou: I wasn't even the one who said that.

Enji: It was only a few days,

But I miss you guys already.

Momo: Tsudzuri, thanks.

It was because we worked with a kris like you that we were able to rest easy.

C'mon Yae, you say something too.

(Sfx- Kaki kaki scrtch scrtch)

Yaeka: Ah.

Enji: Aww. It's the last time you'll be working here right?

At least tell us how happy you are with words.
Momo: Yae...

016

Yaeka: Th--

Rantarou: Oh! This sketch book is sorta awesome!!

Enji: Don't just snatch it like that.

Yaeka: PYAHHHHH!!!

Enji: Huh?

Whoa, it IS amazing though...she's good.

This is a drawing of Mizuta, right?

And here's a picture of me...

And Susutake with Naitou-kun.

Rantarou: What, none of me?

Yaeka: No! Give it back!

Don't look in there any more!

{Can't reach.}

Rantarou: Ooh! So the runt can talk!

(Handwritten- Now tell me why I'm not in this?)

Enji: When did you draw these?

017

Yaeka: I saw...

Them.

Enji: Saw them? What do you mean?

She ran away...

Momo: Yae has wanted to be your friends ever since she saw you...especially Mizuta-san who's in the same class.

But because she's so shy, she's never even attempted talking to you.

A month ago Mizuta-san was making a sullen face, and it worried her..

But then when she met you and your friends Tsudzuri, she brightened up, and it made her happy.

018

Momo: She had asked me to talk to Mizuta-san for her..

But I told her that she really should herself.

She's been so embarrassed though that she hasn't said a word to her even now though.

Enji: Then how about tomorrow you guys give Mizuta the money and have a conversation?

Momo: If Yae can pull it off that is.

Enji: But this is a pretty good opportunity.

If she can get together with Mizuta, I’m sure they'll be great friends.

019

(Sfx- Kararan clatter)

Enji: Hmm? Looks like she ran outside...

Momo: Geez...I hope she'll be okay tomorrow...

{I don't have the right to be friends...}

{Not with Mizuta-san...}

{Because it's all my fault that Mizuta-san's phone got broken.}

Girl: Have a look at this Hana-san...she's damn good isn't she?

Hana(?): Seriously.

Girl 2: This is Mizuta right?

020

Hana: You drew this without having to look at her?

Girl: Huh?

Whoa. I don't get it but are you trying to say that's Mizuta?
Hana: Your eyes are amazing...geez.

Oh, I heard Mizuta bought a cell phone.

She was holding it like her life depends on it.

Girl: Oh really? Though I've never seen her with one before now...

Hana: You sure know a lot about Mizuta-san...

Do you want to talk to her or something, Yoshima?

Yoshima: Ah...Sorry Hana-san.

Hana: Rather than drawing Mizuta-san, why not draw me instead?

021

Hana: What's with that face?

You're saying you don't want to draw me?

That Mizuta-san is better than me or something?

Girl: Ha—Hana-san, calm down...

Hana: Sorry, I guess I got a little excited...

(Sfx- Pikiki crackle)

Hana: Though to think that just because that bitch got a better score on the midterm exams, that you'd like her better...

Yoshima: Hana-san, you only got a lesser score than her in English right?

Hana: If I got less than her English, it's like failing completely to her!

(Handwritten- Ooh! 6 friends!)

Hana: That's just a rumor though...

022

Hana: Hehehe...

I just thought of something good.

You two listen to this.

Yoshima: Gyahahah...that's great.

Hana: Midorikawa-san, would you mind coming with us?

See look! It's Mizuta-san! Didn't you want to see her?

Now, if you could....would you mind tackling her down?

Yaeka: Eh?

Hana: If you don't do that, I’ll consider this sketchbook my property.

Yaeka: I—I---I don't want to do that...

023

Hana: You drew this picture I presume...

because you happen to like Mizuta-san right?

Yaeka: Y—yes...

Hana: If you do not tackle Mizuta-san right now..

I'll have no choice but to tell her some horrible things I thought up about you...

So why not hurry up and do as I say?

You'd do best to act quickly before she goes into class.

Hit her as hard as you can.

024

{I'm sorry...}

{Mizuta-san!}

Mari: Wah!

025

Yoshima: I'm sooo sorry Mizuta-san! I wasn't watching my feet and I stepped on your cellphonoe..

Mari: No..I didn't hold onto it well enough and so this happened..

Please don't worry about it.

You don't have to worry about this either..
Its not like you meant to run into someone else, right?

(Handwritten- Kekekekeh...)

(Handwritten- I feel muuuuch better now.)

{I thought Mizuta-san would be upset over being injured, but instead she worried about me!!}

{I should have known what those girls were planning and ran away immediately!}

026

{I don't have the right to be friends with Mizuta-san...}

{Ever!!}

{But even if I can't be Mizuta-san's friend..}

{I can at least work to replace her cellphone!!}

{That's all that matters!!}

Momo: It's so hot. I hope they let us use the pool soon...

having gym in the campus yard is too much!

027

Momo: Have you given Mizuta-san the money yet?

Yaeka: I have to be mentally prepared....

Momo: Then should I do it?

Yaeka: N—no. I'll do it.

I'll find a way to give it to her somehow...

I'm sorry...I know I sound really selfish when it was both of us who earned this..

Momo: It's no biggie. It's for a friend....so do your best Yae.

{Yeah...}

{I will.}

{I'm going to do my best and give Mizuta-san this today!}

{Hmm? The locker is already open...}
{Why? I made absolutely sure before I left that this was locked!}

028

{The sealed envelope with the money in it is gone..?}

{But..why?! How?}

Hana: It really is too hot...I want to take a shower.

{C...}

{Could it be...?}

{There's no mistaking it...}

{That girl stole the money!}

029

Hana: Huh?

Someone made off with your cash?

Girl: There's no way Hana-san would steal someone's money!

Yoshima: What are you trying to insinuate, shortstack?

Yaeka: You do have it...

The rabbit seal I stuck on it was undone...

Yoshima: And how do we know you aren't just talking nonsense?

Girl: You'd better think before you answer.

Yaeka: She has it.

It's hidden within the second strap of her bra.

030

Yoshima: What? That's awfully specific.

Hana: If you're going to push this matter that far, then lets have a little chat.

Follow me, Midoritani Yaeka-san.

Momo: Tsudzuri!
I haven't seen Yae for three periods! Her cellphone is off too!

031

Enji: You sure she isn't in the health room?

{In the middle of changing for gym.}

Momo: I already looked there, and everywhere I thought she'd be! This is the first time she'd done something like this! It's strange!

I get the idea she might be hiding something from me...

It's really giving me bad vibes...

Enji: Well...I will admit it does seem strange for her to not talk to you Momo..

All right! I'll help you search too.

Rantarou: Wahahahah!!

Guess you'll be needing my help!

Enji: Like everyone's been asking, why are you here?!

(Handwritten- Go to your own damn school!)

Enji: Wait a minute...

That's right, you can...

Rantarou: Yup.

Leave it to me.

I remember Yae's smell reaaaal clear like!

032

(Sign- Strip.)

(Translator- Not kidding.)

Hana: I wondered what kind of important things you'd be keeping in your locker..

You worked during school break to get money for Mizuta's cell phone right?

Are you a fool? Especially after all the work I went through to break it...

You somehow figured out that I stole it...

But how did you know the seal was undone? Did you see me?

Yaeka: I have good eyes.

Hana: What?

What do you mean? I don't understand.

???: Hey Hanako...

033

Dude: We can seriously do what we want with her?

Hana: Yeah, if it's a matter of money, I've got you covered.

No one's going to come to this broken down theater to save this girl, so feel free to do whatever you want.

Dude: Heheh, that's awesome. You're a lifesaver.

Hmm, those clothes are in the way...I'll have to rip them off.

Someone hand me scissors.

???: Here.

Dude: Oh, thanks.

What the hell is this? It's a book of fortunes...don't fuck around idiot! Wait, why do you even have this?

???: I thought you'd be interested in knowing your fortune.

If you don't want to try that, then I could test your luck?

Dude: Huh?

034

Enji: It's all bad news though.

035

Yaeka: Tsudzuri-kun!

Enji: It's the first time she's ever called my name...

Rantarou: Hey! Tsudzuri! These guys are weak as hell!

Hana: Wha..What is this?!

Who are you?

Momo: If you don't know, how about I tell you?

Hana: Huh?

Momo: We're....

036

Momo: Yae's friends.

We heard about everything from your lookouts.

You were gonna have some horrible things happen to Yae weren't you?

Lookouts: Our bad Hana-san...

Hana: Wait..

What is this? My face hurts and I don't get what's going on...

037

???: I'm a little annoyed so lets cut to the chase.

Hana: Wha?!

Mari: Involving others in your plots is cowardice.

So please reflect on your actions.

Hana: Mi—Mizuta...?

Yaeka: Mizuta-san?!

Mari: Explode.

Hana: Eh?

(TN- Boobies!)

038

Hana: K—Kyaaaaah!
Wh—what is this?!

Don't look at me!!

Girl: Don't leave us behind Hana-san!!

Mari: For goodness sake.

They really are cowardly people...

Enji: Thank you for the meal, Mizuta-san.

(Handwritten- Nice!)

Mari: Um...your welcome?

039

Momo: You're free now.

Yaeka: Thank you.

Mari: Yae-chan.

Yaeka: Eh?

Y—yes?

(Handwritten- Yae-chan?)

Mari: I heard everything from Momo-san.

You both worked in order to get money for me to buy another cellphone..

When I heard that I was so happy I could cry.

Yaeka: But I..

I'm the one who made you sad in the first place, Mizuta-san...

Mari: Don't worry about that.

It wasn't your fault, Yae-chan.

040

Mari: I was a bit depressed when my cell phone was broken...

But now I'm all better.
Because I got to meet you, and that makes me more happy than any cell phone could.

Please..

Lets be friends.

Yaeka: Eh?

Mari: I said lets be friends!

Momo: Isn't this great, Yae?

Mari: You too Momo-san.

Momo: Hm? Really? Can I as well?

041

Mari: I don't have any female friends...

So if you two would accept I'd be so happy.

Yaeka: I've never been so happy...

Or heard anything this great be--

Momo: Oh..

Looks like Yae's mimesis is...

(Handwritten- Oh dear.)

Rantarou: Wahah!

You had a face like that?

Yaeka: Waah!

Don't look!

(Handwritten- Eeeh)

Mari: Don't hide please...I want to have a good look.

Yae: B—But this face is scary...

Mari: I don't think I’ll be scared.

042
Yae: R--

Really?

043

Mari: Yup! In fact I think you're really cute!

(Handwritten- You look like Suezo!)

(Handwritten- Suezo?)

(TN- A monster from the Monster Rancher series of video games and anime.)

Yaeka: Y—You really want to be my friend...?

Mari: Yup! I hope that's okay...

Yaeka: Friends...

Waah! Momo~

Mari: Did I say or do something wrong? Should I have not touched her?

Momo: No, these are tears of happiness.

044

Yaeka: Waaah! Momo!!

Momo: Isn't this great Yae?

I'm so happy for you.

Mari: I'm crying too~

Rantarou: Tsudzuri's got the wrong liquid dripping from the wrong place.

Enji: Shut up willya? I can't stop this...

Hakuu: Hmm..

My timing was too late to do anything huh?

045

Hakuu: eh.

It's all good.
{A few days later.}

Mari: Thanks to the both of you! Now I'll record your mail addresses!

Now my dream dress list is only one off from completion!

Yakea: Good luck Mari!

Rantarou: I've said it plenty of times already boobs!

I'm more than happy to tell you my mail address!

Mari: No thanks!

(Side text- Friends are great!!)
