Saike Once Again 18

And almost a month later....In any case, it's my hope to finish this series this month since the next one doesn't have a start date as of yet.



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

(Top text- Huge reverberations! The united front arc with Hizu in the Cat cafe continues!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN.
Take 18: Cat Country 3.
(Side text- Volume 1~2 of the manga is boldly in stores everywhere!!)
FUKUCHI TSUBASA
Mikan: Saike~ Over here!
Lookie lookie.
Saike: Mew mew mew meow!!
(Side text- That's what a cat's pursuit should be huh?)

002
Saike: If I don't escape from here and into Mogura pond then...
(Sfx- Kari kari scrtch scrtch)
(Sfx- Karikarikari sctchscrtch)
Saike: My mind will completely become that of a cat's....!!!
(Side text- Saike and Hizu who have become cats are in meowjor trouble!!)
{But a cat's strength isn't nearly enough to open this door!}
{I'm completely locked in!!}
Dude: Meooow~
Saike: Th...
That's....!!

003
(Sfx- Fuuh fuuhh hiss hisss)
(Sfx- Gogoggogogo rmmmmmble)
Dude: Let's plaaaay~
Meoww meowwww~
Saike: Damn...!! I can't forgive this guy's idiotic sense of justice!! Creating a “Country of cats” is going too far!
{Hizu-kun.}
Saike: Somehow I have to find a way to return to this morning before I became a cat and save the other customers....!!
{But how...}
{How do I do it....}

004
{How do I....}
(Sfx- Sahh Shaa shaaah swff wff sffft)
(Sfx- Hyun hyumm wfft)
Saike: Ah!
Mew meow?! (What was I doing...?!)
Dude: Heheheheeh...
It appears your mind has already started to embrace cat like tendencies~
That's good...
It's only a matter of time now~
{No way...}
{Am I really going to become a cat?!}
Dude: Now, lets go to the center room~
(Handwritten- I'll even give you a nice brushing~)
{No!! I don't want to become a cat....}

005
{Wait...}
{Is it really so bad if I do become a cat?}
{If I do then..}
{I can forget having to deal with those difficult days...}
{With just the fur on my back...}
{I can do whatever I want without having to worry about anyone else.}
{See?}
{They're living the life there aren't they?}
{Yeah...}
{It kinda feels like all that other stuff doesn't matter....}

006
{Being a cat...}
{Sounds nice...}
(Sfx- Garii shssft)
Dude: Ouch!!
(Sfx- Bahh fwaap)
(Sfx- Tashi tp)
(Sfx- Suta Tmp)
???: It's far too soon to give up Saike.
Saike: Mew?
Who?

007
Eiji: Remember it Saike...
Isn't there work that has to be done that only you can do?
I am your partner Hizu Eiji.
Don't go forgetting that, hero.
Saike: Hizu...
Eiji...?
Hizu....
Hizu...

008
Saike: Hizu-kun!!!
Eiji: I finally figured how to make these claws come out.
(Sfx- Shakiiiin sheeen)
Saike: How come you haven't been completely feline-ified?!
You drank the tea before I did, right...?
Eiji: Dunno.
I'm more of a “dog person” honestly.
Can't really picture myself being a cat.
{C'mon Hizu-kun, don't you wanna play too?}
{I'm a “Dog person”, so I'll pass.}
Saike: Ah!

009
Saike: I see!! Those who are Dog lovers have a stronger resistance to the feelings of “wanting to become a cat”, and the effect is slower on them!!
Eiji: Oooh.
Saike: You're a life-saver Hizu-kun!!
Dude: Ooooow...
Eiji: Saike, I said I wanted to see your “last moments”, right?
(Sfx- Dahh dash)
Eiji: But this ain't the time.
It was after I met you that I learned what “fun” is for the first time.
There are “other” things besides “fun” out there for me...
and you are a part of that “other” for me.

010
Eiji: I want to see it all...
What other things can I experience while with you?
(Sfx- Tashihh tpp)
Eiji: So when I say I want to see your “last moments”...
I mean it as “I will fight alongside you until the bitter end!”.
(Sfx- Ton ton tap tap)
Eiji: So come on....
Saike!!

011
(Sfx- Dashhh)
Dude: That's pointless!!
Cats will never be able to open that door!
Eiji: Meow mew. (Normal cats that is.)
{Turning the door...}
(Sfx- Kahhh sheeen)
Eiji: Into Styrofoam with my styrofoamficication power!!

012
Saike: MEOOOOOOOW!!!!

013
Dude: A kitty was....
Able to bust right through that door?!!
Wa--
Wait little kitty!!!
{I understand your “Resolve”...}
{Hizu-kun!!}
{I am...}
{Going to open that door with you!!}

014
Dude: Wh—what are you two doing?!
I thought you had come in so suddenly...
But isn't this rude to do to someone you've only met for the first time?!
(Handwritten- I'll call the police!)
Saike: Turn all the other customers back immediately.
Dude: How did you know that...?!
(Sfx- Baaan dooom)
Saike: It's cause God can see every thing you do!!
Eiji: Saike, were these cats seriously people at one point?

015
Saike: Your ability is to make a tea that turns people into cats!!
I also won't permit you to make a country of cats either!!
(Sfx- Gabiiiiin dreaaad)
Dude: Wh—why do you know everything?!
Saike: Cause God is watching over everyone!! And if you do the same thing again then...!!
Dude: Hiiii!! I understand!! I won't do it again!!
(Handwritten- Huh? What was I doing up until now...)
(Handwritten- Tanaka-san!! The company president!!)
(Handwritten- Somehow I feel like I had a dream where I was a cat...)
(Handwritten- Hm? What day is it today?)
(Handwritten- Oh crap! I'm late for my part time job!!)
Saike: Whew....
It seems that they don't have memories of their time as cats.
Eiji: Well, even if they did they'd probably think they just dreamt up the whole thing.
(Handwritten- No way anyone would think that it really happened.)

016
Saike: Thanks Hizu-kun.
Eiji: Huh?
Saike: If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to return back here.
Eiji: Really?
I don't really get what you're talking about but I'm glad to have been useful.
Saike: I might have been too full of myself...
I thought I'd be able to save anyone with this power of mine.
But in the end I can't do it all alone.

017
{There isn't anyone who'd be sad if I died.}
Saike: However, there is one condition you have to fulfill if you want to continue working with me.
Eiji: Hm?
Saike:You said that “No one would be sad if I were to die”...
But here's the thing. I'd be really torn up about it.
That's why you can't say things like that anymore.
That's the “condition” I have for working together.

018
{Why are you such garbage?}
{It's just as I figured...}
{This guy is way more interesting than I thought.}
Eiji: Roger.
To ensure you won't have to be sad, I won't die.
Is that okay?
Saike: Oh and no more smoking.
Cats don't like it either.
Eiji: Got it. I won't smoke anymore.

019
(Sfx- Karan koron clang clang)
Dude: Ah! Customers, I'm sorry...
But this store is closing up for good...
So...
???: I know already.....I had a dream about it.
Dude: Huh?
???: However your “power” hasn't ceased to exist has it?
We've come to break that “lethal weapon”.

020
Dude: AAAUUGGGGGHHH!!
(Sfx- Dosaaah thuuud)
Dude2: So then, what now General?
We gonna pursue those guys?
Girl: Shinonome has already placed a surveillance tracker on them it seems.
???: We'll stay close and have a chance encounter with them.
Then we'll “erase” them.
The one with the Black hair has an especially dangerous ability.
(Side text- A mystery man aims for Saike's ability.....Starting next issue we're thrust into new developments!!!)
