Saike Once Again 45

Fukuchi I think you're a doll for having non Japanese characters in your manga, but seriously these names...I'd like to give an informal shoutout to everyone on twitter who helped me name the united nations that was introduced in this chapter. Thank you very hamida.



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


(Sfx- Ton *thup*)
Hizu: Saike’s been…kidnapped?
(Side text- Sweeping anxiety and a flustered Hizu…!)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN.
(Under panel text- The new awareness time slip battle manga’s third chapter of the sixth series!)
Hizu: Who kidnapped him?
Ana: It was our former comrade Johann!
Hizu: Where is he?
Ana: I don’t know!
That’s right, I got a text from Yumewo!
“Johann is scheming something” it said…
Perhaps Yumewo knows something…!!
Hizu: Okay, got it.
Ana: Ah, Hizu?! Wait! You don’t know where Yumewo is do you?!
(Handwritten- I can text him to meet us somewhere, so just wait a second!!)

002
(Side text- What is a Hero? Is it not being afraid of “pain”? The newest volume of the manga, #5 will be out in stores on June 17th!)
FUKUCHI TSUBASA
(Middling text- Who are you? My friend?)
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
Take 45: The Kidnapped Saike.

003
Kuroda: He is the most veteran of all my allies.
I met him three years ago in Germany.
His name is Johann Diertliegh.
He’s young, but he is already a college professor of archeology.
(Sfx- Dooonn)
Johann: We will usher in the next stage of humanity.
Kuroda: It is likely that he intends to gather ability users and create an organization.

004
Hizu: And what of Saike?
Kuroda: Saike’s ability is powerful.
He’s had his sights set on him for some time.
With him as an ally, no matter what blunder he makes he can simply go back and redo it.
(Sfx- Kachaah *clack*)
Kuroda: For an organization, an ability such as this is not one they can overlook.
Ana: Crap!! And this would be a good time for Saike to have lost his memories!!
Do you know where he is?!
(Sfx- Baaan *slam*)
Mako: I’m having the hammies look for him…
But he’ll probably be difficult to find.

005
(Sfx- Zaahhh *Sffft*)
Ana: Where are you going Hizu?
Hizu: To look for him.
I had intended to never see him again, but the situation has changed.
No matter what methods I have to use, I will find Saike!!

006
Johann: Now Saike…
This is our underground base---our home.
Everyone’s got different circumstances that brought them here, but we live and practice using our oracles here together.
So? Do you remember anything?
Saike: I’m sorry Johann,
I just don’t remember anything.
I’m not sure how you could be friends with me.

007
Johann: It’s fine Saike.
Something like that isn’t enough to wreck our “friendship”.
Am I right?
Saike: Johann…
Johann: But you’ve forgotten everyone right?
Then me reintroduce you.
???: Hey Saike!
We’ve been waiting.

008
Calim: I’m Kalim Christenval!
Welcome back, Saike!
Girl: I—
I’m Muteki Yuuko.
Hello.
Dude: I’m Scivano DaVinci.
A pleasure.
Dude: I’m Shinonome Shizukamaru.
(Handwritten- Sup?)
Glasses: Minegishi Masamune.

009
Lady: I’m Shiinamachi Yuki.
Girl: Chan Minmin, yup!
Uzura: Uzura is…
Uzura!!
Will: I’m Will Clooney.
Ah, we’ve met already, right?
Saike: I’m…
Kuzushiro Saike.
(Handwritten- Pleased to meet you.)
Johann: I’m not sure if you’ll feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon.
After all we were friends before.

010
Johann: This is your room.
Everything you might need is right here.
(Handwritten- My room…)
Johann: We’re underground so there aren’t any windows…sorry.
But if there’s anything you need just give me a shout.
Saike: It’s no good.
I really can’t remember anything.
{I went through my days at school without feeling a thing…}
{So I never thought I’d be able to make friends in my entire life.}

011
{But…}
{After all, you’re the precious friend who was there to help us in our time of need!}
{Without me realizing it, my everyday life had completely changed.}
(Handwritten- Oh and over here we have air conditioning…)
(Sfx- Piih *beep*)
{You are an ability user with a special power!}
{You’re our comrade!}
{Thank goodness you’re okay…}
{Saike…!!}
{Johann was crying for my sake.}
{I’m certain I am a precious ‘friend’ to him.}
(Handwritten- And then there’s…)
(Sfx- Gyuuhh *grinnd*)

012
Saike: Johann,
Is there anything I can do?
I don’t recall having even one thing that was precious to me…
But it seems during the time I lost my memories that I found “something” precious.
{Saike!!}
Saike: It’s a bit hazy, but I can remember it.
I’m sure….
That this is you guys, right?

013
Saike: Then I will…
Become your strength.
Tell me Johann…
How do I use my oracle?

014
Johann: Go to Mogura pond…
{Mogura pond?}
Johann: Nah…
Forget about it.
Saike: Huh?
But why…?
You said my oracle is important right?
Johann: Yeah, it will be someday,
But…

015
Johann: I don’t want you to exert yourself meaninglessly.
After all we are “Friends” right?
Tomorrow’s the start of summer vacation, right?
Then why not hang out here with everyone for a while?
Who knows? Your memory just might come back!~

016
{Johann….}
(Sfx- Koso koso *tomp tomp*)
Yuki: Johann.
Why didn’t you tell him?
He appeared to be feeling up to it too.

017
Johann: “Drown to death in Mogura pond.”
That’s one hell of a hurdle for an activation requirement…
So starting now…
I’ll start building him up slowly.
One by one…
Using the blocks known as “friendship”.

018
Mom: Oh? Are you Saike’s friends?
I’m so sorry, you came all the way out here to see him…
But he called me from a friend’s house and said he’d be staying over at his friend’s “villa” for the summer.
Ana: Do you know where it is?
Mom: I don’t, I’m sorry…
(Handwritten- But to think Saike has so many friends…it’s like a dream~)
{Saike…}
(Sfx- Chiih *clench*)
{Where the hell are you?!}
(Side text- And now they have no leads…Next issue, Saike’s brainwashing is complete!?)
