Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku 50

On your marks, get ready, ship!

On a related note, my face matched Ryuu-nii's when Ayla revealed that Irina is her mom and not like an aunt.



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

HITORIBOCCHI NO CHIKYUU SHINRAKU
Chapter 50: Day of Resolution.
OGAWA MAIKO

002
Ryuu: Huh?
'Mornin, Koichi. You're up early today too.
Koichi: Good morning Ryuu-nii!

003
Ryuu: I was thinking of going to see Nagi in the hospital since it's my day off. When you get back, you should go see him too.
What time will you come?
Koichi: H..hmmm.
I dunno! Nagi hates it when crouds come to see him, so you should go see him on your own.
Well, I'm off!
Whew....
Sorry, Ryuu-nii...

004
Koichi: Senpaaaai!!
It came!! It's here!!
The letter from Nagi is here!!
It was stuck in the window!!
Er...
Senpai! Are you aw--
Nozomi: Don't be so noisy early in the morning.

005
Koichi: Whoa, you were actually asleep?
Nozomi: That's right....You're up far too early, Koichi-kun!
Shall we talk inside?
Koichi: Yeah!
Nozomi: Face over there for a bit won't you?
Koichi: O—Okay?
Nozomi: Hirose-kun?!
Koichi: Wait, could it be that you have to change?!
Nozomi: Well I did say I just woke up!
Koichi: I'll wait out here, so get changed!
Nozomi: But it's cold out there!
Koichi: I'm not cold!

006
Koichi: “Face over there” she says....
(On note -To Yamanaka)
Koichi: Nagi...
{A week before..}
{After you left me...}
Nozomi: Nagi-kun!
Maaya: Nagi...?

007
Not!Nagi: Ootori-senpai, let's end things here for tonight.
Can you move, Maaya?
Maaya: Y—you...
You are Nagi, right?
Nagi: For now.
I met up with Koichi just now...
And now this is no longer something I can handle. ...Nor can I give it to Koichi.
I'm still trying to pin down the details, but once I have I'll contact you.

008
Koichi: We've still got two weeks....
We've only got seven days left!
Rico: This is the real Nagi's handwriting!
Nozomi: And that's how it is Ayla.
Ayla: Nozomi, bring that letter to me when you're done.
Nozomi: That's not a problem, but there's nothing written here but an approximate time and place.
Ayla: That's fine.

009
Ayla: Zoki said he'd take the people of this city captive, but he didn't imply that he'd do this to escape.
Koichi: That's right.
Ayla: If we have a rough estimate of the day and place, we can make advanced arrangements and be on the lookout.
It's a rough method but it'll do.
Rico: Rough methods, huh...
Like, I could become a giant monster and run “a little” wild in the city before hand!
(Handwritten- This place is dangerous, so run away!)
Ayla: That “a little” is something I find hard to believe.
Nozomi: Hirose-kun?
Nagi is still alive in that body...!

010
Koichi: Even with Zoki's existence, I can tell!
Nozomi: Or, it could be that Zoki is only acting like Nagi...?
Koichi: Does it seem that way to you, senpai?
Nozomi: I don't know.
I haven't met this Zoki person after all.

011
Koichi: Nagi is telling me to stop Zoki....
And I will save him!
I won't let him suffer anymore!
Rico: Me too! I want to save Nagi!
I like Nagi!!
Koichi: Rico!
Senpai, I want to train today too!
Rico: Me too!
Nozomi: Sure!

012
Ayla: Koichi trains without rest with Nozomi..
It would be great if he could become stronger...
Should I return?
???: I certainly wish you would.
You are still hospitalized, and shouldn't be out here.
(Sfx- Bariii crack)
Ayla: Irina!

013
Ayla: When did you get to Japan?
Irina: Just this morning.
By this evening I'll be in Tokyo.
I can't just go around doing whatever I want and increasing Petrov's work.
Ayla: You're keeping busy as usual.
Irina: 'Sppose so. I am a woman running an international training firm.
I've got vigor for miles!
Meanwhile it's no good for you if there are no earnings made from coming to Japan and fighting those aliens is there?
Ayla: Yeah...
Irina: Let's go back to the car. You're still running a temperature, right?
You need to take better care of your body.

014
Irina: You've been gaudily firing your guns, and at the hospital no less!
There has to be a better way of doing things. Your granny has high expectations of you, but there's no reason for you to burn yourself out at both ends.
For a girl to go as far as injuring her face....
Ayla: I'm fine! I don't want to stand out here...
Don't treat me like a child!!

015
Irina: So you left your parents and think you've become an adult?
If that's the case, why did you send a summons for your Grandmother to come to Japan?
Ayla: That's...
Irina: Do not call for her!
You understand don't you?
If she's serious, that one can enter a period of sleep that spans a half century.
She's been enduring it for ten years!
Since the other day where she lent you some of her power, she hasn't awakened! We have no idea when she will or if she will!
Don't make the mistake of thinking that as long as she's in “her room” that things will be fine.
She's a living fossil who doesn't have the strength or endurance to keep fighting...
Ayla: Then what should I...

016
Ayla: What is it...
That I should be doing?
Irina: Ayla...?
Ayla: There's nothing I can do...
Nozomi, Koichi and Rico are all doing their best...
Without the Bishahora I'm a normal person.
And without grandmother's powers, i'm certain to just get in their way...
I...

017
Ayla: Am powerless...
Irina: Do you remember?
What was said to you the day you left for Japan?
I stopped you! The duty of protecting Earth is that of the family, and not a burden you have to endure alone!
I thought you'd just ignore the so called little demons in the Japanese schools...
But it seems your resolve is the real thing.

018
Irina: You were able to call that pup, Sebachika...
Your Grandmother's familiar.
The same familiar none of us were able to use.
This is proof that you were meant to be grandmother's successor.

019
Irina: It's when your passion burns for the mission that you are at your best. So show it to me one more time...
That radiance that shines even in the middle of the strongest blizzard.
The light that shines within you.

020

021
Irina: I'll call you later.
Ayla: Okay!
Thank you...
But Irina...
My problem hasn't been solved.

022
Ayla: It doesn't change that I don't have the Bishahora...
(Sfx- Pii piiih beep beep)
Irina: Oh, is that all? I brought a new one with me.
Ayla: Eeeeh!?
Irina: As long as I know the osteology of it, I can switch out as many as I please!
I'll leave as many as you need here in Japan.
After all, that one's makeup was created back when your Grandmother came to earth, so it's not surprising it'd break easily.
So now you can fight to your heart's content!
Ayla: Aaaaaahhhhhh....
Just remembering it makes my face feel like it's on fire...
To think I worried myself to death over that....
Ryuu(?): Ayla-san!

023
Ryuu: Are you okay? Are you not feeling well?
Ayla: Ryuusuke!
Wh-- why are you here?
O-oh! To see Nagi, right?
Ryuu: Yeah, I came with our grandfather.
(Handwritten- Eh? You were admitted, Ayla-san?)
(Handwritten- Y—yeah, I just had a little fall and bumped my head..)
Ryuu: Was that lady you were with earlier a family member?
Ayla: Hm? You knew?
Ryuu: Your grandmother is quite gorgeous.
Ayla: But she's my mom, though?
Ryuu: Eh..?

024
Ryuu: EEEEH!?
Ayla: I have a picture of my family...do you want to see it?
Ryuu: You have quite a big family.
Ayla: Two older brothers, an older sister, and a little brother..
Oh, this is my big sister.
(Handwritten- Ooh!)
Ayla: What's with that expression?
Are you about to leave?
Ryuu: Yeah...
Ayla: You seem kind of down.
Ryuu: This might sound a little weird, but the truth is...

025
Ryuu: When I went to see Nagi in his room, there was a feeling of uncertainty in the air...
Am I weird for thinking this kinda thing when I came to see my hospitalized little bro?
Ayla: Honestly, you aren't wrong at all.
The thing in that room isn't Nagi at all.
I don't like deceiving an acquaintance...
But it has to be hardest for Koichi who has to fool his entire family.
Ryuu: I'm gonna go now. See you later!

026
Ayla: Ah..
Ryuuskuke,
Your face.
Ryuu: Eh?
Ah! Why am I...
Ayla: Stop...
Stop...
{Ryuusuke has probably noticed it.}
{Part of a sensation that can't be put into words.}
{In regards to Nagi...}
Ayla: I don't want to see it...!!

027
{The part of Ryuusuke's heart that's filled with soft warmth...}
{And the secrets of those twins...}
{How much of the truth have you realized..?}
{Hey....}
Ayla: No!!

028
Ayla: Puwahh!
Oh good, it's stopped...
I almost became the worst sort of person....

029
{Oh...}
Ayla: Oh noooooooo!!
I let myself get completely carried away by my thoughts!!
Don't you dare get it twisted!!
I'm going to be quite busy from here on in..!!
I won't be able to see you for a while, so I figured I'd give you a farewell gift....
Or something...
{What on earth am I saying...?}
(Sfx- Gashii grab)

030
Ryuu: Then after you're done...
Let us meet again!
Ayla: Sure...
Ughh...I've been through so much today...
Nozomi: Ayla.
Ayla: KYAAAAAAHHH!

031
Ayla: Where are you calling me from?!
(Handwritten- Are you a Ninja or something?!)
Nozomi: I brought Nagi-kun's letter.
Ayla: This certainly is it...
Then we need to think of battle stra--
M—Moreover, how long were you there? There's no way you saw me encounter a certain person...
Nozomi: Oh, yes. I saw everything.
Was that bad? I can keep it a secret.
(Handwritten- You'll fall.)
Ayla: R—really?
(In mouth- I'm trusting you...)
Nozomi: But you too...
Have to keep something secret from Hirose-kun for me.

032
Ayla: Eh...?

033
Ayla: You got that injury a week ago, right?! No way...you weren't cut by Maaya's knife were you?
Nozomi: I'm sorry...
Your grandmother went out of her way to warn me...
The injury on my shoulder healed up right away...
But this injury is from the debris.
Ayla: Why are you keeping this from Koichi?!
Nozomi: If I were to tell Hirose-kun now, he'd stop training.
And right now he's in top condition.
I want to give Hirose-kun the opportunity to save Nagi-kun...!

034
Ayla: You idiot....
Nozomi: ...I know...
{Just seven days left...!}
