HITORIBOCCHI NO CHIKYUU SHINRYAKU
Chapter 53: Like taking a breath in the depths of an ocean...

002
(Side text- Maaya's tenacity has lead to her taking Nozomi's right arm, but...)
Maaya: I won...
I finally beat you...
Hahahahah!!
Still plan on resisting, do you?
But now the countdown has begun.
There's no recovery from that injury.

003
Nozomi: I'd wonder if you can always keep a stance like that..
Kugh...
Maaya: So what?
I don't intend to deliver the finishing blow to you so soon.
Especially not like this.
I want you to taste the pain of the 142 lives born for the purpose of being your step stool...

004
Maaya: It just won't do if you don't suffer more!
Nozomi: Agh....!
Maaya: It's your responsibility to understand their pain!
Nozomi: Responsibility...
No...
It isn't my responsibility...
At all.

005
Maaya: You're the last person,
I want to hear that from!!
Only you got special treatment! Only you were allowed to live a life of comfort and ease!
Just because you never saw those 142 people doesn't mean you can say you're unrelated to them!

006
Maaya: I won't let you say...
That you didn't know of us!!
It's as I figured, you can never be forgiven!
(Sfx- Hah, hah)
Nozomi: Uugh...

007
Maaya: That's...
Gasoline!
(Sfx- Gohh thokk)
(Sfx- Chiriihh shhft)

008
(Sfx- Niko grin)

009
Maaya: Guh!!
Uwaaaaaah!!
S—She...
Destroyed the stand!!
What is she, a suicide bomber?!
Guh...
Maaya: The flames are too strong!

010

011
Maaya: Uwaaaah!

012

013
Maaya: S--
STOOOP!!
(Sfx- Giyuuuhhh sfffft)

014
Maaya: Ah..
Aaaaah....

015
(Sfx- Hah hah)
Maaya: What is this...?
The blood from your right arm has stopped flowing...
{The length of her arm is different than before...}
{It's a little shorter.}

016
Maaya: Cautery hemostasis....
(Side text- By burning one's injury it has the effect of coagulating the protein in the body which can be used as a means of stopping blood loss.)
Maaya: Moreover, that she'd go as far as further “shortening” the arm I cut open herself...
Now the malignant curse I possessed her with is...
{Overwritten..?!}

017
Nozomi: Sister...
Maaya: I knew it...you're a monster who tries to act human.
Damn you...my knife is...
Dammit, dammit...
Dammit!!
Nozomi: When I first met you sister, I thought....
That if you were telling me to suffer unhappily for the sake of the older sisters who came before me...
I wouldn't be able to do it.

018
Nozomi: Because I want to live!
I'm sure you're the same, sister...
So you really do intend to live,
while conveniently forgetting your sins, responsibilities and us don't you?
Nozomi: That's not it.
It's true that I don't feel that I have any responsibility for our sisters,
but...

019
Nozomi: But there's a thing known as “karma”.
Bearing the fate that you cannot waste a lifetime running from...!
It's true that because you and our sisters I was born so...
I'll never forget that.
And I want to do whatever I can for you.
But I can't die for your sakes.

020
Nozomi: Sister, you hate me and have attacked me because of that.
And no matter how many times you do I will stand up against you.
I'm not sure if I can defeat you or not, but...
I won't be lose.
(Sfx- Keho keho cough cough)
(Sfx- Kehoh cough)

021
Nozomi: I thought i'd never encounter anyone from our homeland.
I came to this planet all alone,
So when I met you sister, I was overjoyed.
I was so happy...
Maaya: Even if I didn't exist, I would hate you no matter where we were.
You...and that boy.
(Sfx- Geho geho cough cough)
Nozomi: That boy...?
Sister??

022
Nozomi: Sister...sister?!

023
Nozomi: I know the expression you had on your face before was genuine...
So something good had to have happened to you.
It would be wonderful if that came true.
(Sfx- Haa haah)

024
Nozomi: It hurts...
It hurts...
It hurts so much...
Someone please help me...
Hirose-kun...

025
(Sfx- Buhhhhh bweeeep)
Not!Nagi: I found you, Ayla-senpai!
The Bishahora is right there!
I'll shoot it down again...
Just like I did before!

026
(Sfx- Zudoooonn thooom)
Not!Nagi: Bravo!!
(Sfx- Pach pachi clap clap)
Hmm?

027
Not!Nagi: It wasn't a dummy...
but an illusion?
(Sfx- Jijijijiji zzzzzt)
(Sfx- Shuuun whooooh)
(Sfx- Fuh fuhh)
Ayla: Next...!

028
Not!Nagi: Now you're just screwing around with me!
Didya think i'd be foold by a fake...
Ah, it showed up again.
Huh?
I can't see this bishahora on camera at all..
Ayla: Good....
Now extend the “branches”!
(Sfx- Bara bara)

029
Ayla: I haven't moved from this spot in the basement since the very beginning.
And now the surroundings of this building are within reach of the “branches” of the bishahora.
I realized it a few days before when I changed the outer wall of the bishahora
The circuits comprising the bishahora's outer wall,
Have a will of their own and the ability to spread like ivy.
(Sfx- Suuuh)

030
Ayla: The bishahora which doesn't have mobility or combat capabilities can spread it's branches around it's surroundings.
And now I'll show you it's spirit!!
Not!Nagi: I have no idea what the hell is going on, but I don't like it.
Just now you did “something” to us.

031
Not!Nagi: Descend upon the town and find Ayla-senpai.
Having the Earthlings take shelter was a big mistake.
These guys have got good “eyesight” as well. They can ping a living thing's presence from inside a building with relative ease.
Oh?
Ohhhh?!
There are Bishahoras all over the city?!

032
Ayla: I'm not built tough like Koichi and Nozomi, so I cannot fight like they do,
But I can lend my friends my 'eyes' and guide them...
Personally I know I'm weak,
but...
Not!Nagi: I get it...
Dammit, Ayla got me good...!!
Ayla: We've got...convention!

033
Ayla: Eramea's remaining strength and,
Grandmother's unextinguishable linage is right here.
Not!Nagi: Ayla has stolen the “eyes” of my soldiers.
But so what?!
That relic from Eramea –the bisahora is nothing but a observational device right?
Ayla: The Bishahora is an information gathering device.
It isn't just for gathering information for oneself, but inferring information from it's surroundings using the extended branches.
A simple observational device couldn't gather information like this.
It can also spread false information...

034
Not!Nagi: You guys....
what's the deal...

035
Ayla: When a part of Zoki's soldiers descended upon the surface, they touched the “branches”.
I encircled the area where you appeared Zoki, and prepared the Bishahora's outer wall for usage before hand by spreading branches all around the city.
You made a big mistake by announcing where you'd be in advance!

036
Koichi: Wh—what's been going on? Since earlier...
It's like they're having an internal falling out.
They're not even holding back against their buddies...do they think they're enemies?
???: Koichi...
Koichi: What's up Rico?
{Rico's communicator is hidden within his body.}
Rico: Somehow Ayla has disrupted the enemies, and I can't go looking for the orbelian anymore!
I think she's moved again but I have no idea where she is!
Koichi, do you know where she is right now?
Koichi: M—Me?!

037
Koichi: I don't know either...
Rico: I see...
I'm getting tired so I'm headed back to you!
I have faith that the orbelian will be able to work something out on her own!
Koichi: Y—Yeah...
Rico: Let's meet up before Zoki!
Koichi: Eh?
Rico: I mean we don't know where the orbelian is...
Koichi: Y—yeah, you're right.
We're friends!!
If Maaya shows up, leave her to me...

038
Koichi: No, we can't!!
Rico: eeeh?!
This city is pretty huge! Ayla's staying put, but we have no idea how long she can do it for!
Koichi: Dammit...
Senpai can feel my presence,...
So why the heck can I tell where she is?!
Rico: ah!
Koichi, I can see Zoki!!

039
Koichi: The whirlpool is splitting apart...
Zoki is coming down here!!

040
Rico: Z—Zoki has appeared!! Koichi, what do I do?
Koichi: That's not Zoki,
That's Nagi!!
Rico: Eh?!
Koichi: Nagi....
Nagi is descending!!
