{I'm your enemy but...}
Saike: The hero is on the scene!!
{I don't get it.}

013
{It's far beyond...}
{My sense of reason.}
{I was used to always living the same day every day...}
{Waking up going to school...}
{Studying, having pointless conversations, returning home, eating, and going to sleep. A total rinse, lather and repeat cycle.}
{I was bored.}
{Is this daily life the only thing I'll ever know?}
{But he's different.}
{He's completely blown away any notions of common sense I've had.}

014
{A boring daily life...}
{An ordinary future....}
Blondie: Heh...
Ahahah...

015
Myuuton: Hah...hah...
Well then....what will you do about this?!
“Skeltol”!!
Myuuton: Ahahahah!! How do you like me now!! Any thoughts on meeting a real invisible man?!
Well not that you actually CAN since you can't see a thing!! Ahahaahahah!!!
(Sfx- Doooooon doooom)

016
Myuuton: Now drop dead....
Hero boy!!
Blondie: Behin--
Saike: Way ahead of you!!!

017

018
Myuuton: Right...
on the money...
(Sfx- Zuun Thuuud*)
Saike: And a job well done.
Let's go.

019
Blondie: So...when you drown in the pond you can return to the morning of the current day...
That's one weird power.
Saike: Your “Foam Styrofoam-ification” takes the cake though!
Blondie: Okay but how'd you know where I was?
He turned invisible and carried me away...
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Saike: My phone's GPS feature.
I made a contract for another phone...
Blondie: You did?
(Background- Excuse me.)
Saike: And then put the phone in your back pocket while you were at the station.
Blondie: Seriously?
Saike: After that I just used a GPS app to find out where you were.

020
Blondie: You didn't have to go out of your way to buy a contract for an additional phone...
(Sfx- Posohh sfft)
Saike: I TRIED ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS AND THEY WERE NO GOOD!!
(Handwritten- Now I'm gonna have to find a way to get out of the contract too!!)
Blondie: Ok, I get it. Thanks.
Saike: I have to thank you too slanted eyes.
Blondie: Yeah?
Saike: You were the one w ho pointed him out at the very end right?
On my last redo that really was a lifesaver.
(Panel 1: Behind you!!//Panel 2: Eh?!//Panel 3:I don't see him...//Is he really there?//Panel 4: Uwaaah!!)
Blondie: Is that so?
{Previous redo.}
Saike: B—but how'd you know?
He was invisible after all...
(Sfx- Yoro yoro wobble woblle)
Blondie: Ah, well..

021
Blondie: It was “The means of discerning ability users”.
See, I can see something like “Strength fumes” coming out of ability users.
Saike: Strength fumes?!
Blondie: Yup.
(Handwritten- I can see 'em now too.)
Blondie: Whether one is visible or not I can still see those fumes.
I let down my guard at the station..
but if I keep my peepers peeled it's an easy thing to spot.
(Handwritten- Ah! He's behind him!)
Saike: I—I see...
Then you have to tell me...!!
We made a promise@
Blondie: Yeah...you said you want to find ability users and correct them right?
Saike: Yup!

022
Blondie: Awwright. I'll do that.
I'll search for ability users...
With you.
Saike: Huh?
Blondie: It was during this whole thing this time that I found...
Something I want to do.
Up until now my life has been boring and pointless.
But now i've found one thing that makes it worth it...
Saike: Slanted eyes...

023
Blondie: I want...
To see your last moments.

024
Saike: WHYYYY?!
(Sfx- Dooon doom)
Blondie: C'mon. You keep doing this kinda work and you're sure to eventually...
get killed right?
And I want to be up close and personal when it happens.
(Handwritten- It's what I've decided.)
Blondie: I'm looking forward to it...
The day when you meet your end.
Saike: DON'T JUST KILL ME OFF!!
Blondie: Oh. By the way. I'm Hizu Eiji. Nice to meet you.
Saike: IN WHAT WAY IS THIS NICE?!
Just tell me the way you discern power users!!

025
Dude: Do...
Dr. Myuuton...
Are you okay?
Myuuton: I've fallen for him...
Dude: Huh?
Myuuton: That black haired boy...
He's strong...and cute...
He's struck me hard.
But it really is a shame...
He'll be targeted now for sure...
By that man...

026
Myuuton: Negative Rain will be after him for sure.
(Side text- He'll be wrapped up in further fights for sure in the 3rd series which has a planned release in Spring!! Volume two of the manga will be in stores on February 18th!!)
(TN- Negative Rain is actually the name of a oneshot Fukuchi did in a seinen mag. Since there's no way to read this without the issue in question I don't know much about the oneshot, but it did feature a guy in a suit like this one. If I can get my hands on it I might try to TL it.)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN SERIES TWO END.

And done with part two! Although I'm still sorta ill, I wanted to get this out as soon as possible since part three will start in spring, which is probably a month or two away. Now this is the Fukuchi I know and love. Not that volume one was bad by any means, but Fukuchi excels at this sorta Jojo/HXH power battle shounen thing, and part two didn't let me down. The manga seems to be better received than Anagle so far, so I'm hoping it'll last a while. It seems he'll serialize a volume's worth of material and then go back on hiatus so I'm thinking unless it gets a lot of additional pages like part 1 did, that the following parts will get about this many chapters. I hope part three starts to expand on the world a bit since I feel like this could be an interesting aspect of the series. I haven't heard anything about scantlations, but I will continue translating no matter what. I hope you enjoyed part two as much as I did and will return for part three with me when it begins.

Till then.
