Saike Once Again 23

Yup, even Saike benefits from me having far too much free time once again.



Also psylocke scans is now officially the only group allowed to use the translations since their releases are high quality and most of all quality checked. Accept no substitutes especially those of lower quality.

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

FUKUCHI TSUBASA

(Side text- The curtain rises on the 'round and 'round Time slip drama's 4th series!!)
(Side text- Volume 3 of the manga will be out in stores on August 18th!!)
TAKE 23: Efficacy Girl.

002
(Side text- What has happened to Saike who refused Kuroda in his heroic duties?)
(Sfx- Jiiii staaare)
Eiji: Now then...
How do I approach this...
(Sfx- Moji moji fidget fidget)
(Sign- Kuzushiro.)
(Sfx- Chun chun tweet tweet)
{Yeah...I'm scared...}

003
{Using this power to save others is the only “reason I have to exist”!!}
{I'm scared! Scared of returning to how I was before when no one needed me...!!}
(Sfx- Zuhh ssshft)
{Hold on.}
{I've gotta slow my roll.}
(Sfx- Guguggu grnnnnd)
{For one thing, what am I supposed to say once I meet up with Saike?}
{If I screw up and say the wrong thing it could fracture his already brittle mental state.}
Eiji: Saike!!

004
(Sfx- Gachaah clack)
Eiji: Are you okay Saike?!
Saike: Hizu-kun...
That Kuroda person is the mastermind of the ability hunters...
He's a white haired guy who looks kinda like a businessman....
He completely beat me.
Eiji: Don't worry about it man. I can still see the strength fumes coming out of your body.
He wasn't able to snatch your ability.

005
{It's been a week since then...}
{Saike's mental condition's gotta be pretty badass to endure drowning over and over.}
{Though, he's still gotta be pretty scared after almost getting his power snatched.}
{For now I've just gotta stay positive and upbeat when I talk to him.}
{That's my job as his partner.}
(Sfx- Pinponnn dingdoooong)
Saike: Yeees....
(Sfx- Gachaaa clack)

006
Saike: Whooose theeeere.....
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Eiji: He's worse than I thought...
Saike: Oh my, if it isn't Hizu-kun...
(Sfx- Hah, hah, hah, hah...)
Saike: How may I help ya?
(Handwritten- How many years has it been..)
(Sfx- Dooon)
Eiji: Even if someone's down in the dumps, can they really age this much in a short amount of time...
Cheer up Saike.
You've gotta be brave!
You didn't lose your power.
(Handwritten- The strength fumes are still coming out of you!!)
Eiji: So there's nothing for you to be afraid of.

007
Eiji: See? I bought some cake.
It's Cheese cake from the Gorgeous Corner in front of the station.
(Handwritten- You said before you wanted to eat some right?)
Eiji: I bought a book too.
You like Dasai Osamu right?
(Handwritten- I didn't know if you already had this one though.)
(On book- The Setting sun.)
Eiji: Just cool off Saike!
If that guy shows up again, I'll whup his ass.
You've got me with you.
(Handwritten- Although I did get beat earlier too...)
Saike: Uh..
Um...
(Sfx- Guni guni guni grind grind grind)
Saike: I'm fine Hizu-kun...
I'm just a little tired from “yesterday”.
(Handwritten- Quit pulling my face.)
Hizu: Eh?
(Handwritten- Yesterday?)

008
Saike: Yesterday I tripled the amount of people I helped, which ended up with me running around the entire day...
(Handwritten- Thank you!)
(Handwritten- I'll help!)
(Handwritten- Watch out!)
(Handwritten- Next is the third block!!)
Eiji: You...already resumed your usual hero duties?
(Sfx- Gashaaan clang)
Saike: Yup.
It's true that Kuroda and his group worry me somewhat...
Since it's not like I have any idea when they'll threaten me again.
And after that incident i've done a lot of thinking on my own...
But that's a bridge I'll cross when I get to it.

009
Saike: Besides, now I know as long as I don't declare that I'll “renounce my ability”, he can't actually take it.
It hurts like hell, but as long as I don't let my mind get broken by that I'll be fine.
(Handwritten- Thank goodness!)
(Handwritten- Now off to school!)
Eiji: This guy's mental fortitude is badass....!!
(Handwritten- I knew he was crazy, but damn!)
{Kuzushiro Saike...}
{You are no hero.}
{You are the devil.}
{It's probably true...}
{That what I'm doing now is simply to satisfy my Ego...}
{And that he's absolutely right in regard to my actions forcefully changing the fate of people...}
{But...}
{I will continue saving people despite that.}

010
Saike: I will prove it to him...
That I am not the one in the wrong....!!!

011
Eiji: By the way Saike..
How many times have you redone “today”?
Saike: I'm still on the first go around.
I have no idea what'll happen today yet....why do you ask?
Eiji: Naw, just sorta curious, so I thought I'd ask.
And I wondered how many times I might end up buying cake and coming over after this..
(Sfx- Kashi, kashi, kashi)
(Sign- Kuroda)

012
(Sfx- Zuuun click)
(Sfx- Gacha clack)
???: Yumewo.
Are you in?
Kuroda: Is that you Ana?
You may enter.
(Sfx- Jaraaah jingle)

013
(Sfx- Koto tp)
Kuroda: I just made some cocoa.
Ana, do you want some?
Ana: Your younger sister is...
Kuroda: Yes...Miyuki is still sleeping.
I have yet to find the one who put her to sleep.
The information I have is lacking at best.
Until his ability has been erased, it appears Miyuki will not awaken.

014
Kuroda: Ah.
It appears it is time for me to depart.
Could we continue this conversation upon my return?
Ana: We shan't forgive Kuzushiro Saike.
I know you said you had a good look at him, Yumewo...
But I cannot find it possible to let him go like this...!!

015
Ana: We have to erase his ability immediately.
If you cannot, I will do it in your stead...
Yumewo.
Kuroda: Be sure to return by dusk.
(Sfx- Bataaan slam)
{Kuzushiro Saike....}
(Handwritten- Whoa! A blond haired girl!)
{I refuse to acknowledge you...!!}

016
(Handwritten- And he was like “vrooom” y'know?!)
(Handwritten- Hmm?)
(Handwritten- And then...)
Ana: Ah...

017
(Sfx- Zuhhhh sfffft)
{I'm sorry...}
{But please, never talk to me again.}
(Handwritten- Hey! Wasn't that girl just now super cute?)

018
Dude: Oh? If it isn't Ana-chan!
(Handwritten- What a coinky dink!)
Ana: Yaotome...
Yaotome: Hmm? Going to the general's house are we...?
You're still about a hundred years too early for that missy!
(Bag- Pachinko Z)
Ana: It's none of your concern.
(Handwritten- And don't speak to me you slacker.)
Yaotome: Well, if anything DOES happen, just give me a holler, hear?
(Sfx- Pon pat)
Yaotome: I'll come runnin' from the ends of the earth if I have to, and give you a hand.

019
Yaotome: See ya~
(Sfx- Kin kon, kan kon...*ding dong ding dong*)
Saike: Hizu-kun, did you wait here until classes ended?
Eiji: I just got here.
(Handwritten- My part time job ends around the time your classes conclude.)
???: I've found you.

020
Eiji: The strength fumes are pouring out of her!
She's an ability user Saike!!
Saike: What?!
A little girl like that?!
(Sfx- Baahh fwaaap)

021
Ana: Take this.
Eiji: As if I'd let you.
Ana: You're in the way, mongrel.
(Sfx- Bahh fwaap)
(Sfx- Bakiiii crack)

022
Eiji: Heh.
No effec--
(Sfx- perii peeel)
(Sfx- Biiiii dssssssh)
Saike: Hi..

(Side text- Just what is Ana's ability?!)
