Saike Once Again 26

I really wanted to translate more this weekend, but then I got sick. Man, how many times has this been a thing over these last 1,100 translations...




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

(Top text- The newest volume #3 is selling well!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Side text- A new morning has come.)
Take 26: Investigation.
FUKUCHI TSUBASA.

002
(Side text- It's unknown how many times today will be redon...)
(Sfx- Pipipipipipippip beeeeep)
(Sfx- Gachii clack)
{“Today's” subject is the weakness of the enemy.}
(Sfx- Baaaan thooom)
{First...}
(Sfx- Bakiihh crack)
{I'll take her kick head on.}
(Sfx- Perii droop)
{Her ability is to turn the point where her attack makes contact into “packing tape”....}
{So then...}

003
(Sfx- Biiii fwfffff)
Saike: I have to find the weakness of this tape!!!
(Sfx- Pashiii fwiiip)
(Sfx- Bechiii paap)
{I've only got an instant to investigate!}
{And that instant is right before she recoils her packing tape!!}

004
{HERE GOES!!}
(Sfx- Bohhh fwooom)
(Sfx- Shoooooh foooooom)
Ana: A lighter!?
(Sfx- Chiri chiri chri chiri sfsffsff)

005
{It's no good...}
(Sfx- Biiinnhhh fwiiip)
(Sfx- Gyoooooooohh fwooooooh)
(Sfx- Bogoooooon thooooom)
{Give up/Continue.}
(Sfx- Phh beep)

006

007

008
Girl: Uh..um,
You're Ana-san, right?
(Handwritten- She's so cute...!!)
Ana: What is it?
Why do you know my name?

009
Girl: I...
I was told to give this to you...
(Sfx- Zaahh Sfft)

010
Saike(?): We've been waiting.
Ana: This isn't the first time you've done “today” is it?
The fact that you've summoned me here,
Must mean that you've sussed out a way to defeat me, huh?

011
Ana: My packing tape cannot be cut by anything.
And it can't be pulled off by anyone other than myself.
My packing tape ability has no weakness!
(Sfx- Doohhh thooom)
Ana: It has to be a bluff.
(Sfx- Bakiii crack)
(Sfx- Biiiihh fwfff)
(Sfx- Betaaah tap)
Ana: Return.

012
(Sfx- Paaan cliiip)

013
Ana: N--
No way!!
My packing tape can't be cut by anything!!
Even sulfuric acid couldn't melt it!!
So how on earth did you....!!
Saike: It appears your investigation was lacking.
Ana: You're kidding...!! That thing is....

014
{Just ordinary scissors!!?}
Ana: You're kidding...
Something as taudry as that couldn't cut my tape!
(Sfx- Doooon fwooom)
(Sfx- Fuuuu fwoooosh)
Ana: Guh!

015
(Sfx- Bakiiih craack)
(Sfx- Biii fwwweeh)
(Sfx- Dooon fwoom)
Saike: Our abilities don't come with an “instruction manuel”.
So then unless one investigates the “particulars” on their own, they won't know the effects.
Your investigation of your abilities wasn't nearly enough.

016
Saike: The fiber of packing tape....
Can be cut from a 45 degree angle!!!
(Sfx- Gihhh shfft)

017
(Sfx- baannn)
Ana: No...no way...
Something like that is..
Do you know about the Art of War?
“One who knows his enemy and himself will not be endangered in a hundred engagements.”
In short it means, one who knows themselves and their enemy won't be defeated.

018
Ana: So you're saying you sussed out a means to beat me?
You labored so hard to essentially find a needle in a haystack...
Just how many times did you have to redo “today”...?!
Saike: Around 227 times?
Though really it's a lifesaver I was able to figure it out so quickly.
{He's completely mental...}
{How could he possibly make that kind of face after dying 227 times...?!}

019
Eiji: Just give it up.
Your ability is useless now.
Moreover there are no walls here.
Which means you can't use your specialty moves.
Ana: Kuzushiro Saike...
I refuse to acknowledge your justice.

020
???: It's a hundred years too early to admit defeat~
(Sfx- Oooooooohhhh)
Yaotome: Baaam!
(Sfx- Dooogaaah thoook)
Ana: Ya—Yaotome!!
Yaotome: Appearance of the slacker~
(Side text- Just as they conquer Ana's ability, one of Kuroda's allies appears...!! What will Saike do!?)
TO BE CONTINUED IN ISSUE 40.
