Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 41

And at least for a few weeks, I'm caught up to this series. Now I can go sort of feel bad that this, this is a life achievement for me.

Next one out on....I guess now that I'm caught up I can technically say "Whenever the raw comes out", which is like the middle of the month sometime. So, see you in August.



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

Announcer: We would like to thank you for using the Bullet train.
The Nozomi #22 will be arriving on the 25th gate momentarily.
Please stay behind the safety line.

Chapter 41: A flowery excursion to Kyouto.

003
Ayla: Nozomi you idiot!! I take my eyes off of you for a second and you've already bought this much?!
(Handwritten- Ayla-chan sounds like her mother.)
Ayla: What on earth do you possibly need all this luggage for when the trip hasn't even begun?
Nozomi: They're snacks to enjoy en route...
Ayla: You bought far too much! For now I'll take what you don't need and keep it.
Nozomi: D—Don't throw it away.
Ayla: Yes, yes. I won't.
We'll just leave it here and let Jii take it back home.
Right?
Jii: She saw right through me, huh...

004
Ayla: Having fun?
Nozomi: Yeah.

005
Rico: Koichi~
Ayla and the Orbelian left for Kyouto today! That's so unfair!
Koichi: I'll be going next year, so you can tag along with me.
Rico: For real!? You promise?
Koichi: Pinky swear.
(Handwritten- Ehe!)
Rico: I wonder what the orbelian and the others are doing now?
Koichi: They said they have the transmitters with 'em so if anything goes down they'll contact us.

006
Rico: Then it'll be better if they don't contact us!
And if we don't contact them, that's even better!
Koichi: Wh, Why?!
Rico: Well, we're the only ones here who can fight against the aliens if they show up right? I don't really wanna do that...
Y'know...
Koichi: Y—Yeah, I get what you mean.
I'm tired of fighting too.
Rico: Then it's better if there's no contact!
Koichi: Yeah...
Though, even if nothing happens...
I still think they'll contact us anyway, y'know?
Rico: Eeh? You think? Is there a point to that?

007

008
Girl: Woow, that's heavy.
Yeah seriously, it's too heavy!
Nozomi: Yeah, it is heavier than I thought.
Ayla: She says as she lifts it with ease...

009
Ayla: Say, Nozomi..
Have you contacted Koichi with updates on how the trip is going so far?
Nozomi: No, not yet. Hirose-kun is in class right now so I'll do so afterward.
Ayla: Ah, I see. I'll do the same then.

010
Girl: Next up is Arashiyama.
Ayla: There's a temple there I'd like to see.
Right now a statue of the country's natural treasure Amidasan is on display and I totally have to see it.
I wonder If I can though, we've done everything up until today as a group...
Dude: We would have had to come at the end of the month to see the fall leave colors it seems.
It's a little disappointing.
Nozomi: I see..

011
Nozomi: I think they're pretty enough right now as is, though.
Dude: I think so too.
Other dude: Hey Hariyama! Come check this out!
Hariyama: Allright!

012
???: It's just as I thought.
It's her first time on a trip like this, and Ootori Nozomi has completely let down her guard!
She's ridiculously open.
It was totally worth taking my time and slowly getting closer to her...
Lady: And what will you order, missy?
Maaya: Ah! Sakura mochi and this, and this, and that...

013
Maaya: Mm! This is good.
This mochi is especially good when eaten with chopsticks.
Lady: You certainly have quite the appetite! Your mother should join in too.
Maaya: Oh, don't mind her.
She's not into eating.
Lady: Oh my...
Well...
What a shame.
Maaya: That response was no good. It's difficult for me to get around without someone playing an adult's role so I brought this along...
But it seems to attract weird misunderstandings.
I'd better find a different way of explaining this...

014
(On badge thingy- The dango was great!)
{I'll give you this stone so that we can communicate even when separated.}
{If something happens I'll contact you...}
Nagi: You say that Maaya....
BUT AREN'T YOU JUST BRAGGING ABOUT HOW YOU WENT ON A TRIP WITHOUT ME?!
Rico: Koichi, why are you wearing the tracker?
Koichi: Well, they might contact us...
Rico: Huh?

015

016
(Sfx- Vivivivi vgeeeeen)
(Sfx- Viiihh beep)
Nagi: Maaya.
Maaya: Ah, Nagi, listen to this....huh?
Are you perchance in my house right now?
What did you need?
Nagi: Oh it's nothing major really.
I just came to pick up something I forgot here.
Maaya: Hmmm.

017
Maaya: I got shut out in Matsuyoko and separated from her. It seems her surroundings are pretty strictly guarded so I can't get in right now.
Just wait there until I've returned.
Nagi: Since we've joined forces, you've said it plenty of times that I can come here, yeah?
Maaya: That's only when I'm there.
It creeps me out to have the entrance to my room opened too often.
Ah, my next serving of Mochi is here! Welp, later~
(Sfx- Suuhh ssshft)
Nagi: Dang.

018

019
Someone: Let's go to the baths!
Yeah!!

020
Girl: I wanted to soak a bit longer...
(Handwritten- But the time...)
Girl2: The room in the baths is pretty cramped.
Nozomi: Ayla, you never left the dressing room.
Ayla: Ah, just pipe down.

021

022
Girl: Ayla your hair is so fluffy~
Ayla: Ugh..
Girl2: Let me feel it tooo..
Ayla: Ahh...you guys..
St-o-p-it!

023
Koichi: I'm done cleaning.
Grandpa: Good work. Is Nagi home?
Koichi: Yeah, I think he's asleep in his bed.
(Sfx- Puhh beep)
Koichi: I—I--I've gotta go for a bit!
Grandpa: What?
Koichi: Y—Yeah!?

024
Ayla: Ah, Koichi?
I don't really need anything from you though.
Koichi: Oh, just Ayla.
Ayla: “Just”!?
Is there anything you brothers don't like to eat?
Koichi: Things we don't like to eat...
Ayla: I thought all of you Japanese like rice, but there are people who don't...or so I've heard.
Koichi: Ah, that's what you mean.
Umm...Nagi loves sweet things, so anything along those lines is fine for him.
True enough, Ryuu-nii doesn't much like rice.
Ayla: I se--
Koichi: But he likes white bean jam.
Ayla: What's that?! You're kidding right?!

025
Koichi: I like sweet red bean paste--
Ayla: Thanks. Good night~
(Sfx- Puhh fzzt)
Koichi: I guess it's homework then bed, huh...
(Sfx- Puhh beeh)
(Sfx- puhhh peeeh)
Koichi: Ayla-san again...
Yes?

026
Nozomi: Hello? Hirose-kun?
Koichi: Se...Senpa--
Nozomi: That's me~
You've gotta hear this...
I was so surprised at how fast the bullet trains are!
It's my first time ever riding on anything so fast.
Koichi: I see!
Nozomi: After that we visited various temples.
And the dinner we had was incredibly good, and the baths were really big! Everyone was able to get in and we had a great time!

027
Koichi: I see...
Sounds great!
Nozomi: Yup!
Koichi: Having a good time?
Nozomi: Yup.
It's quite enjoyable.

028
Nozomi: The outskirts of the city are so vast...
Koichi: Have a good time tomorrow too, okay?
Nozomi: Yup.
Well, I'm going to bed. Good night.
Koichi: Yeah.

029
Girl: Ootori-san, 'sup?
Nozomi: Oh, Leader!
Girl: Yes, yes. I was the leader during the culture fest and athletics festival, and it's totally fine that you don't remember my name.
Girl: Hariyama-kun sure is easy to understand...
Nozomi: Eh?

030
Leader: I know that it seems that Aoi-chan and Kamura are just having a good time,
But I'm different from their group. I won't protect you Ootori-san.
Nozomi: Protect? From who?
Leader: Hariyama-kun.
I get the idea that he's going to go on the offensive toward you on this trip.
Nozomi: Hm?
