Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 30

And now chapter 30. It feels like not so long ago I randomly did chapter one because I happened to have the raw for it. Funny how time fools us all.

Expect the next one next week sometime. March is Hitoribocchi month.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

Chapter 30: A Thousand Miles

003
Koichi: Ayla-san!
Ayla-san...Ayla-san!
Wake up!
Ayla: Nnnnngh...
What is it?
Huh? I'm still here? What time is it now...
Koichi: Get a grip Ayla-san! Senpai...
Senpai hasn't returned yet!

004
Koichi: Despite what's going on this is really weird! If she's still fighting I should go join her!
Do you see anything?
Ayla: Give me a second...
No...I don't see anything at all. The city is peaceful....
Or well...
Koichi: Or well what?!
(Handwritten- Ugh...)
Ayla: The part of Grandma's secret power that I gave you earlier acts as a “link”, which makes me super tired to use.
I can't use the power of my eyes the way I'd like to.
Koichi: This ability drains you that much...?

005
Ayla: Aren't you able to sense anything?
Ayla: The moment that Nozomi became attached to you should make it clear if she's leaping toward you isn't it?
Koichi: ...This is just my intuition but...
I don't think she's dead.
But I can't really tell where she actually is quite yet.
{Koichi's intuition has been cut off, and she's in an area where my eyes can't see...}
Ayla: To be honest, before I made contact with you, I had a conversation with Grandmother.
(Sfx- Gyaaah!!)
Ayla: Yup, it was exactly how you're imagining it.

006
Wolf: Ayla...
The only child in the universe who will inherit my power....
There's still something something I need to give you. You must mature quickly or you cannot posses it.
For this first time, I will guide you.
There's no need to worry, it is a simple matter to get used to it.
It is the same as learning to ride a bicycle through practice.
Although it appears I am supporting you, the honest truth is your power is more than enough once you begin to move.

007
Ayla: Ngh...!
Th—this is...
Wolf: You are a child lacking in focus it seems...
Do you not have something you can entrust yourself to? If so then give your heart to it, quietly, calmly...
Ayla: A—As if i'd walk around with something like tha--
Wolf: Then I will suspend communication for a moment.
(Handwritten- Stay focused.)

008
Ayla: So while the link was being initiated, I couldn't use the Bishahowa's power.
This ability utilizes the Bishahowa and amplifies my own power. During that time her power is limited...
That's why I can't locate Nozomi now, and my ability to track her was also suspended...
I do have the tracking results while she was en route...
With these we at least have an idea of what direction to start investigating.
Koichi: T—that'd be great!
Ayla: That's right...during that earlier battle...
Koichi: Hm?
Ayla: It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

009
Ayla: There aren't even any traces I can see left...
I wonder where she went after the battle ended...
Koichi: The secret base...
Ayla: Eh?
Koichi: Before, when Senpai was fighting aliens alone and got heavily injured, she'd rest in the secret base.
Ayla: Nozomi has been heavily injured then...?

010
Koichi: I knew it! We shouldn't have let her go off to fight alone!! Damn!!
Ayla: “She made sure to properly equip the tracker, but we can't confirm her location”.
For now, can you lead me to that place?
Koichi: It's this opening.
Ayla: If it's Nozomi's territory then I can't interfere in it, and if she was pursued by enemies it should go for them too. If that's what happened, then the probability of her being here is quite high.
Koichi: The Secret base itself isn't actually here in town. It's connected to a different place entirely.
Ayla: It's the same as Grandmother's interview space.
Rico: Hey.
Are the powers of Orbelio and the old lady from Eramea kind of the same?

011
Rico: Well, Orbelio don't have those “eyes”, but they create their own space, and use magic I don't really understand too!
I don't know of any other planets that use the same weird magic.
Ayla: On that note, I've heard that Eramea and Orbelio are two of a kind sibling planets.
Koichi: Sibling planets?
I wonder what kind of connection they have to Earth?
Ayla: What do you mean?
Koichi: When I first met Senpai, she said to me...
People of Orbelio have lived on earth since long ago....

012
Koichi: Back then it all just went right over my head so I didn't bother to think about it again...
But if we find Senpai, I'm gonna make sure I listen to her properly...
Now then, let's find her!

013
Koichi: Huh?
Um...I'll try it one more time.
I can't enter...
The Secret base...

014
Koichi: But why?!
Ayla: Most likely the key has been changed.
And the only one who knows how to implement it is Nozomi...
I know i'm right. Nozomi is right ahead.
Koichi: So then why would she do this....
Ayla: Dunno.
If she really is heavily injured, it may just be that she doesn't want you to see her in her current state.
She probably doesn't like insensitive men.
Koichi: Nooooo way.
Ayla: For now I'm going home.
Koichi: Eh?!
Ayla: Of course we could keep on a patrol for enemies, but I think it's better that we end our fighting here for tonight.

015
Koichi: But...!
Ayla: Have you forgotten just how much you've abused your body today?
You've got to be worn out.
And you'll need to prepare new clothes.
We know where Nozomi's territory is, and if she's resting we should just come back here tomorrow.
Koichi: Okay....

016
{Hirose-kun...}
{You know what..?}
Nagi: What's up Koichi?
Koichi: Nothing...

017
Koichi: Nothing at all.
{After that three days passed and Senpai never showed up.}
Someone: There was a terrorist attack...
at Matsuyoko castle...!
Koichi: Senpai is alive...
I know she is..!

018
Teacher: Hey Hirose..
Why are you wearing long sleeves? We're still some time off from winter uniforms.
Nagi: Ah! Sorry!
Y'know, it's just my body is so weak, and it'd be bad if I started feeling cold...
Teacher: Since you were able to participate in the Athletics festival, your argument doesn't hold any weight.
Koichi: Kobayashi-sensei...have you heard anything from Ootori-senpai?
Kobayashi: Ootori...?
Hm?
Sorry but I don't know anything.
What class is that student in?

019
Koichi: Ootori-senpai of Class 2-6.
C'mon Sensei! You warn her about her uniform all of the time...!
Kobayashi: I don't think there's a student like that in class 2-6?

020
Koichi: Nagi, you know and remember her right?!
Nagi: Y—yeah. Of course, man.
Sensei, ain't that joke kinda harsh?
Kobayashi: What are you talking about?
{There's no way...}
{No way...!!}

021
Koga: Ootori-senpai? Y—yes, I recall hearing about her...
Does anyone else know of her?
Girl: Was there a person like that here?
(Handwritten- Dunno.)
Girl: Your desk has always been there right?
Girl2: Of course! There's no other place for the fifth desk to be!
{Senpai's existence is slowly disappearing...}

022
Ayla: It'll be bad if this continues...
Koichi: Ayla-san...
Ayla: I remember her of course....but how long I will is something I don't know.
I wonder if something is happening in the Secret base...
Koichi: I don't know! I don't know anything anymore!
Ayla: She might have already died....

023
Ayla: Ah...
Nagi: Ayla-senpai! Where's Koichi?
Ayla: He didn't feel good and took his leave.
Nagi: Seriously?!
Though I can see he felt up to running...
Ayla: That's just your imagination..

024
(Sfx- Hah...)
(Sfx- Hah..)

025
(Sfx- Gasaah dssh)
(Sfx- Chi chi chi chi)
Koichi: Why can't I enter?!
Dammit!!

026
Koichi: Dammit...
Will I forget her eventually?!
Will it be like ten years ago when I forgot all about you?!
You're taking this too far!!
You idiot!!

027
Koichi: Huh? Did this really grow in such a short amount of time?
It's still far too early for it to bloom.
Ah...man the smell of fragrant olives is awesome..
Ah...but...so good...

028
???: The Fragrant olives sure smell good don't they?
I'd like to include it on the entry route...

029
{That's right....}
{That just might be it!}
{Left 7 steps, Right 24 steps, And then further right by 13 steps...}
{Then you'll find the Magnolia tree.}
Koichi: I've been preoccupied with how many steps it'd take up until now...
But there's been something more important...
That I needed to pay attention to!
{Then just push your way through the Winter Daphne....}

030
{Yes, Good luck.}
(Sign- Magnolia (Lily Magnolia) Blooms pure white in about March to April).
Nozomi: There are times where I'm jealous of you Hirose-kun.
Koichi: I knew it...!
The amount of steps I had to take didn't have any particular meaning at all...
You have a gentle older brother, and Nagi who's bright and cheerful...
A fine Grandfather, and dreams of the future.
Koichi: The walking path is decided by Senpai's interests...
That's all to it.

031
Nozomi: You don't have the power to kill people...
You don't have to think of things like how to obtain the hearts of aliens...
How I'd love to only fear how I'm going to figure out tomorrow's math lession..
Koichi: Ten years ago...
When I saw a little Senpai in town, I chased her in a daze and ended up at that place without realizing it.

032
Koichi: That time may have just been a coincidence...
But this time I can't see senpai anywhere.
I'm not even sure what it is I'm chasing.
Yeah...
I'll be okay.
