Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 48

To be honest, with all of the possession going on, I'm not entirely sure who's who anymore. It's not boring though, so I'm fine with this.

Next one out next month. I guess I can stop saying this since I'm caught up now?



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


Koichi: Nagi is...
The enemy?
Aylababa: Koichi...
Chapter 48: Nirvana.
HITORIBOCCHI NO CHIKYUU SHINRAKU
OOGAWA MAIKO

002
Aylababa: Listen well. The alien within Nagi's right hand is...
Koichi: Ayla-san?
Ayla-san! Ayla-san?!
Not! Nagi: C'mon now. Quit listening to boring radio broacasts..
And have a chat with me.

003
Koichi: Nagi...
I knew it was you Nagi..
Rico: Koichi...
Koichi: There's no mistaking what I'm seeing...
Nagi...Ayla-senpai said some pretty messed up things..
But those are lies, right?
Let's head back home...
Where Ryuu-nii and Gramps are waiting.

004
Koichi: Why is that thing with you Nagi?!

005
Koichi: What do they mean there's an alien in your right hand Nagi?!
I don't get this at all!!
Nagi: If you really wanna chat with me....
Then defeat this guy here first.

006
Koichi: Uwaaaaaaah!!!
Nagi....!!
I've been training with Ootori-senpai, y'know?
Not Nagi!: Show me those results then.

007
Koichi: Wait...!!
Get out of my way!!
(Sfx- Gichiiih click)
Rico: Koichi, that thing is bad news!!
(Sfx- Mukuhhh dffft)

008
Not! Nagi: Ooh...
So even without Ayla-senpai's “eyes” you can still dodge that attack, huh?

009
Koichi: Rico! Are you okay?!
You got bigger for a second to cause the enemy to lower it's guard and screw up it's aim...without that we wouldn't have been able to run..
Not! Nagi: Where aaaare yooou?
Don't disappoint me Koichi!
Rico: Koichi...
It's dangerous here, the enemy is...
Koichi: Nagi's ordering that thing around....
so it can't possibly be him.

010
Koichi: Huh? But it is Nagi...
Or a fake that looks like him?
Then it's an enemy...
If I don't fight it then...
Rico: Koichi!
Koichi: I knew from the start that the one before me is definitely Nagi....
But somewhere in my heart I wanted to believe I was 'wrong'...
He's Nagi isn't he....
Ugh...!

011
Koichi: O—ow!
Rico: Dummy!
You're being an idiot Koichi!!
He's absolutely Nagi for sure!
I mean, look at him! It can't be anyone else!
Koichi: Y—yeah...
Rico: But you won't get anywhere sitting here and thinking about it!
Rather than doing that, I want to ask him directly!
We can settle things easily by asking one question; “Are you the real deal?”
So let's defeat that thing...
And go to Nagi together!

012
Koichi: Yeah..!
Nagi: Ooh..
Making a move are we?
Whoa there!
Is that how it's gonna be?

013
Not! Nagi: So what, you thought the winter climate would relax Ricodemus's proliferative cells and keep them from overheating?
That's great and all, but swelling up like that...
Just makes you a target...
Huh?
Eh?
(Sfx- Gaaah graaab)

014
Koichi: Ugh...
Uuuuhhhh.
ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!

015
Not! Nagi: You're kidding...

016
Not! Nagi: Crap!

017
Rico: Fuuuuuhhhhh....
Not! Nagi: Amazing.

018
Not! Nagi: I didn't think you'd have anything to show after a mere day of training, but to think you've got enough “ridiculous strength” to spare...
Now that I know this, things can only get more interesting!
Congrats Koichi!
You completely lived up to your end of the bargain, so as promised you've earned the right to talk to me!
However don't get the wrong idea! This isn't about mere “Ridiculous strength”.
You have manifested a strength that overcomes your muscles. However this isn't because your body has changed, but part of the heart's power!
The form of Ootori-senpai's “ridiculous strength” comes from that heart, and now she's taught you how to use it!
Come out Koichi!
Let me see you!
So I can appraise and admire that power!

019
(Sfx- Zaaah Sfft)
(Sfx- Suuhh Sffft)

020
Koichi: What the heck is that...
Not! Nagi: This is the answer you sought.
“The alien within Nagi's right arm...”
Now that I think about it, this is the first time we've met huh? It's a pleasure to meet you.

021

022
Nozomi: Not here!
I have to run to a place where there are less people...
To a place where no one is around would be best...

023

024
Nozomi: She can use the black fog as a part of her body....

025
Nozomi: It's pursuing me...
That's a decoy. Where did...
Big sister go...

026
{Don't allow yourself to be cut by Maaya's knife!!}
Nozomi: From this range it'll reach for sure!
Let my voice reach your ears.
“Wrap”
“Bind”
“Cease movement.”

027
Nozomi: “You can no longer escape”.
Hah...
Hah...
I was able to use magic properly,
despite it being such a long time, but...
It worked...

028
{She's strong.}
{Truly strong.}
{But I really don't want to lose.}

029
{When did a curse of this extent gather...?}
{It's my emotions...my desire to curse Ootori Nozomi that has made mes torgner.}
Maaya: Ah...
{I just wanted to defeat her...}
{To become stronger I gave into and embraced my hatred.}
{How did things end up like this for me....?}
{My future wasn't supposed to be like this.}
Maaya: Uuu...
uuuuuu...
{She was supposed to be the one I came here together with...}
{Why did this curse change everyone?}
{In the end.....}

030
Maaya: In the end I'm all alone...!!
All of my friends will eventually abandon me and die, so rather than expecting anything I should have frozen my heart before now...
Aah...If only I had realized something so simple before now, I could have saved so much time...

031
Nozomi: Uuugh!
Why?
Maaya: Hm?
Nozomi: Why can't I read your Orbelian language, big sister...?
Maaya: Oh? Does that bother you?
The reason really is quite simple.
It's because I can't read or write the real Orbelian language.
It's not like I had a chance to study it.
I didn't get the sugar-sweet and snuggly upbringing you did. Our positions are different after all.

032
Maaya: I was confined, but I was able to distinguish sounds and the shapes of letters so I made my own.
In short an “imaginary Orbelian language.”
Moreover it is a language created for the sole purpose of cursing your name.
{The curse has gotten stronger.}
{For me, in the end...}
{This is all I needed.}
Maaya: I will use this power to defeat you.
{Even if the compensation..}

033
{Is that I lose everything...}
Koichi: Who the hell are you....
Not! Nagi: Zoki..
From Goz sta--
Koichi: Where the hell is Nagi?!

034
YepstillgonnacallhimNot! Nagi: He's sleeping within this body.
I stole his place, but it doesn't seem like he's noticed anything yet.
Koichi: I see.
So you've hijacked Nagi's body huh?
Okay.
That makes things nice and simple.
Not! Nagi: Oh?
Koichi: I'll kick your ass...

035
Koichi: And take Nagi back.
Not! Nagi: Sounds good.
Bring it on.

036
???: Stoooooooooop!!

037
Aylababa: Hah..
Hah..
Koichi: Ayla-san...
Ayla: He....Zoki, entered Nagi ten years ago...
Since then he's the one who's kept Nagi's body alive...
(Sfx- Haaah)
Koichi: Eh?
Not! Nagi: Ngh.
Ayla-senpai, Don't stick your nose in...
(Sfx- Gierruuuhhh)
Not! Nagi: Whoa!
Aylababa: The one who's protected Nagi from death this entire time is Zoki.

038
Aylababa: If you defeat Zoki...
Nagi wil die!!
Koichi: What....?
Not! Nagi: Aww man...
She said it.
