Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 47

Man, with the events going down in this series, I'm beginning to think that 2016 might just be a race between this series and Gintama to see which will end first. Granted both still have just enough kick in 'em to last a bit longer, but it does feel like they could also end soon too. Hm.

See you next month with #48.



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

???: Well I'm off.
I'll be right back.
???: No,
You won't be returning here.
We already know this.
This is farewell Maaya.
???: That's...

002
???: Can you hear it Maaya?
The palpitations of this planet...
It's the final sound of a planet that knows it's life is almost over.
Orbelio will soon die.
And we will with it.

HITORIBOCCHI NO CHIKYUU SHINRAKU
Chapter 47: Lonely Maaya's flower bouquet...
OGAWA MAIKO

004
Maaya: I can't hear it...the sounds of everyone's hearts fills this room...
???: Yes, that's right.
{There were a lot of people in that room.}
{Lots of us.}
???: For what reason were we born?

005
???: Our lives were created without meaning.
We just sit and wait for our bodies to rot.
However, iif we can keep the palpitations from ceasing,
then we may just be able to continue living.
We would be able to walk on the outside world.
So long Maaya, be safe.

006
???: You are our hope....

007
???: “143”
Come here, “143”.

008
???: You understand your mission, right? “143”.
You are the closest to “that child” in age.
Therefore you should be more than ready to carry out your role.
{This is...}
{This is the “King.”}
Maaya: Understood.

009
{Across that wall is where 142 of us were....}
King: Come this way.
{This is a long hallway...}

010
King: Where are you hiding?
Come out now.

011
King: I've said it before that you should change your hiding spot once in a while, haven't I?
This is “143”.
The two of you will go to Arsha together. Since your power isn't much, you will need to assist each other.

012
{However we did not go to Arsha together.}
{The two of us travled in two different space vessels...}
{And the one I was upon was dragged into a universe space storm.}
{I wandered space lost, with little power and only a vain hope that I'd somehow reach Arsha.}

013
{By the time I realized I had reached earth...}
{I couldn't sense “that child” at all.}
{I was filled with a strong sense of malease upon seeing that ship peacefully buried in the dirt.}
{I made several attempts to contact our homeland but could never get a signal.}
{What had happened? Was she gobbled up immediately after landing? Were the things I thought I understood.}

014
Maaya: “144” and Orbelio...
Along with my 142 older sisters and the King...
They've all died...
They're all gone.

015
Maaya: Heh..
Ahahahaahaha!!
I wonder what I should do for now on? I have no idea...
{It was like a fog in my head had cleared.}
Maaya: For now, I'll just survive.
{For everyone's sake...}

016
{A year before that apperance changed everything...}
{I was hit with nostalgia when I sensed “her”.}
{“144” was alive.}
{And she had begun to live among the Earthlings in one of their cities...}
Maaya: I'll observe her for a bit.
{I did my own research on her, and gathered a short overview of what had happened.}
{“144” had changed into Ootori Nozomi.}
{And had apparently made friends.}

017
Maaya: That face...
“Richie” “Penam” “Yossa”
“Woorey” “Farask” “Seneka”
“Tandora” and “Fajin”
Where is everyone...
Everyone..

018

019
{The fate that binds me with our cursed homeland had yet to disappear.}
{There is nothing else left for me other than defeating Ootori Nozomi.}
{The moment I decided that, I no longer faltered.}
{En route to this...}
{I thought that I had accomplished something...}
{But in the end..}

020
Not! Ayla: Y...
You're...!
Nozomi: Grandma?!
Not! Ayla: This cannot be...!!
Back away from her at once!

021
Nozomi: That thing before us...that's the Orbelian language...
However, it's surrounded by something and I can't read it!

022
Not! Ayla: Hmm. So this is the Orbelian's power of concept magic?
But I'm sure you know the basics of what it contains, no?
Maaya: If my power keeps flooding out like this, it'll be gone before long...
This happened before..just like when Zoki hijiacked me...
Uuugh...

023
Maaya: Uugh...
That's right, I'm weak..I don't have the power to fight Ootori Nozomi...!
The only things I have are betrayal and minor tricks. Without those I don't stand a chance against her!
It's so frustrating...!
You're the blade of a warrior, so you have power for combat....way more than I!
I will give you some of my strength.
Take it.

024
Not! Ayla: Hey...
Nozomi: The Knife...
Not Ayla: She allowed herself to be consumed by it.

025
Nozomi: My older sister is still there.
If I don't fight then...
Not! Ayla: Nozomi...
You absolutely must not be cut by her....
By Maaya's knife.
The curse within it is malignant and strong...!!

026
Nozomi: Fairing well, big sister?
There's one thing I have to ask you.
Why do you hate me so much?

027
Maaya: I have 142 little sisters...
Every one of them was forsaken in an effort to create a prototype---you.
In what way am I a failure when compared to you?
Just because my power is weaker than yours? That after ten years of growth I haven't grown at all?
For that reason....
Just because we had different dispositions and faces...
For such a trivial reason we were abandoned!
And on those points you're perfect...

028
Maaya: Made perfect enough that you could be called the original.
You were dispatched with me to serve as support in our mission to liberate Earth.
En route, I met with an accident and got here late...
It's as if that accident and my ship were trying to cover for you too...
That I should resign to my fate of once again being used like a tool and then tossed aside!
It's all for your sake!
Our existences were nothing but stepping stools....to support you!!

029
Maaya: Do you think I can forgive you?
What makes you so valuable in the first place?!
I'll never acknowlege you!
I'll pursue you to the ends of the earth...
I don't accept any part of you!
The life that was created...
I haven't yet uttered my first cry..
But if I can kill you with my own two hands then..

030
Maaya: I have outrun all of my curses and been reborn...
And now I, alone exist as “myself.”
That's why I'll kill you.

031
Koichi: Ayla-san I'll be there soon.
Not? Ayla: Oh my, you're quite fast.
He was training this morning with Nozomi, so while Koichi should be able to fight against aliens, but have you readied your body for it?
Koichi: Yeah...something like that.
Not? Ayla: What's the matter?

032
(Sfx- Guiiih Grrind)

033
Koichi: That's 38!
Rico: You got it!
???: You're awesome Koichi! Not only did you avoid the attack but you got the right number!
Koichi(?): Heheheh..
Ayla(?): It'll work out somehow, maybe...?

034
Koichi: Ayla-san, We're here! Where's the enemy?
Ayla-san?
Rico: Koichi, look there...
Koichi: Nagi?
Hey Nagi! What the heck are you doing over there?

035
Koichi: Ayla-san, where's the enemy? We have to get Nagi out of here or...
Ayla-sa..

036
Rico: Uwaaah!! That thing is super huge!!!
Koichi: You idiot!!
Nagi!! You gotta get away from there fast!
Nagii!!
Not! Nagi: I was just fine tuning Mother...
It's movements in Earth's atmosphere are stiff and awkward.
But it can still make some pretty impressive and strong soldiers! I even found me some incredible inspiration!
Though it took about three days.

037
Koichi: Three days?
What are you saying Nagi...
Rico: Koichi...
That's the Goz pure subjugation battle unit...
It can produce units of it's clan for three days straight...
Ayla: Koichi, listen up.
The “enemy” is right before your eys.

038
Ayla: Right now the human who stands before you...
is your enemy.
