Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 38

Whoa, aliens that can talk. That's totally a novel idea that I've never seen before in this manga.

Expect the next one on or around June 15th.




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

Chapter 38: Even the smallest needle cannot be swallowed.

002

003
Nozomi: Ah!
Damn it...!
Koichi(?): Gyahahahah
Hah

004

005
Rico: Ah!
Orbelian!!
It's impossible to protect the city and fight him!
Nozomi: Hirose-kun...
Wake up already!
You're in there aren't you?

006
Nozomi: Aren't you a boy?!
So don't let that thing just hijack you!
Dummy!
Dummy!
Dummy.....!

007
Nozomi: I can't let myself lose consciousness....
If I do then i'll be swallowed whole too...
{FIGHT...}
{FIGHT...}

008
Maaya: Ngh...
There are various things acting in sync with the orbellian heart and calling out for it...
The number of stars are increasing...
No...those aren't stars are they...?
Those guys are watching too.
Seems we have spectators from even higher up huh....?

009
Maaya: Now what to do...? Should I capture Ootori Nozomi here and now?
It's for that purpose that I did all kind of prep work...
But...
I had no idea that Koichi would be this strong once he was awakened.
If I just leave things as is Ootori Nozomi will be defeated by Koichi without putting up much resistance.
That's pretty fun in and of itself, and It's within expectations.
{It would be dangerous if the orbelian heart was given to the other surrounding planets in this situation.. that is if I were to “leave things as they are”...}
{That's right. “Leaving things as is” may be the one way to return Koichi to normal for sure...}
Maaya: If I just buy more time, Ootori Nozomi will be here for sure.
I'll just take a sec to observe him a little more!

010
Maaya: Uuh...
So cold.
Nagi: This is no good is it?
Maaya: Hm..?

011
Nagi: You'll regret just sitting here!
What're you doing just sitting there looking lost? You've got a scheme cooking don'tcha?
Maaya: Was he able to feel things out up until now...?
Give me a minute, I'm thinking of...
Nagi: She stole your bright, sunshiny place didn't she?
Don't you just hate her?
Maaya: N—Nagi just what do you know...
Nagi: Y'know, Ootori-senpai...
Can do just about anything, right?

012
Nagi: Look there. Even in this fight she's trying to avoid casualties by using her body as a shield.
When you're in your own space Maaya, you're like a God, yeah?
But just sitting upon that stone cliff in your own space on a king's throne isn't much to admire....in fact it's kind of lonely isn't it?
Just sitting on high looking down on humanity....
Yet even with that habit you still want someone to be at your side,
So you subtly came to the human realm and despite your sense of distance laughed for the first time.
Maaya, you want to become the real deal huh? But too bad...

013
Nagi: Because there's...
No way a copy can...
Beat the original...!!
Maaya: I—if you're talking about copies, then it's not just me...
She too is...
Nagi: But she can do just about anything....
Meanwhile you....
When compared to Ootori-senpai are useless, yeah?

014
Maaya: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
You're wrong!
I'm..
We're....
Not just her impostors...
{Let's stop referring to one another as numbers.}
Maaya: I'm not...
A failure!!
{Come here last of my little sisters...}
{You too shall be granted a name.}
Nagi: Then let me see your full power.
{From today on you will be..}

015
{Maaya.}

016
Nozomi: Those letters....!
Uwah!!

017
Nozomi: Hi...
Hirose-ku...

018
Maaya: Hah...
Hah...
Nagi: See? You can do it when you try.
(Sfx- Pofu pofu pat pat)
Nagi: Great work.

019
Maaya: Ootori Nozomi is locked up in the furthest....
Deepest, and darkest room in my space.
That's right...I am the God of my own space.

020
Maaya: She will have a dream of a world where “She does not know Hirose-Koichi”...
Over and over..
And over and over and over!
To her a single second in that world will seem like ten...no one hundred years!!
Nagi: Ooh, sounds nasty!
I take back what I said!
Still...
He's not moving anymore...

021
{FIGHT}
{FIGHT...}
???: With who?
Who am I supposed to fight?
I keep being told to fight but what happens when my opponent is gone? Who am I supposed to fight?
More like, where am I?
...I feel like I've experienced this once before...

022
Koichi: It's sorta like when I was in Votek-san's ship during summer vacation...
I'm floating through time...
In a space where it feels like I'm the only existence....
It's an unreliable sorta feeling..
???: So your consciousness has activated has it...
Koichi: UWAAAAAAH!!

023
Koichi: Wh—what were you again?! Um...yeah! Yushift clan!
Yushift: Silence, beast.
Next time you speak I will snap your little neck...
Is what I'd like to do, but the Orbelian heart is within you...
So I do not wish to kill you.
Koichi: So what, that was you earlier? ...And you can talk?
Yushift: “Talking” is an antiquated notion of a past era.
We have the ability to communicate directly with another's consciousness.
It is an ability that supersedes the language barrier.
Koichi: But I haven't met a chatterbox like you before now.
Other than Rico.
Yushift: It is dangerous to speak before the Orbelians.

024
Yushift: Recklessly regurgitating words is asking for the Orbelians to restrict one's freedom with their hidden arts.
Our vanguard were sent out without the ability to use words.
Koichi: Rico...!
Hey Yushift clan!
Yushift: My name is Hentoulio
Koichi: So you have a name...
Hentoulio: Affirmative.
We are many...
And individuals.
Having names is proof of our...
Individuality.
Why would you think that we would not have names?
Do you believe that you are the highest form of life in this universe..
And that you are the firmest existence?
Nay.

025
Hentoulio: This is why you are beasts.
There is something on this planet...
And you are born on it without knowing it's value.
You simply are an existence that lives on and nothing else.
Koichi: Just lives on...? For who?
And for what purpose?!
Hentoulio: This planet..
Exists for Arsha's peace...

026
Hentoulio: You beasts are only useful as containers for the orbelian core.
And now your usefulness as containers has long since run up.
I shall take that heart.
Koichi: I'm not a container!!
I'm Hirose Koichi!

027
Hentoulio: Nay...
We refuse to acknowledge your individuality.
Even with your numbers you are all still the same container.
Koichi: Shut up!!
It's mine to keep because it was entrusted to me!
And I'm not giving it to the likes of you!!
I promised to treasure this with my life!!
Hentoulio: Then it would be good if that pathetically short life were to end.
A small beast as yourself is merely an amateur among hundreds of thousands of others.
You have no need for it.
Disappear.

028
Maaya: I knew it...!! Trying to take the Orbelian heart without permission causes an over capacity reaction!

029
Maaya: No way..
It can't be...that direction....
Which one of them is it? Koichi? Or the Yushift?
It's closing in here isn't it?

030
Maaya: It shouldn't be able to see anything..
It shouldn't be able to touch it!!
Stop! Don't open that!!
Stop!!

031
Nozomi: Hi...

032
Nozomi: Hirose-kun...

033

034
Hentoulio: R--
Ridicu...
lous...

035
Koichi: You're crying again....
Nozomi: B--
But...!

036
Koichi: I did keep my promise right...?
Nozomi: You did...
