Saike Once Again 46

Series seven just had one of the best chapters out of the series. Ahh~ I really wish I hadn't been derelict in translating this part so I'd be there already.

Also I think I've done more translations in this last week than I have in the last three months.



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

(Side text- Congrats! Volumes 1-4 have been reprinted for a third time, and the newest volume #5 will be out in stores on June 17th!!)

002
(Side text- Johann has kidnapped Saike…! The days filled with Brainwashing begin…)
(Sfx- Pipipipipipi *beeeeep*)
(Sfx- Pipipipipipi *beeeep*)
(Sfx- Pachi *blink*)
(Sfx- Pipipippipi *beeeep*)
(Sfx- Pipipipipi *beep*)
{It has been three days since Saike was kidnapped.}
(Sfx- Kachaah *clack*)
Saike: Yawwn.
Johann: Ah, Saike!

003
Johann: Good morning!
Have you gotten used to things here yet?
{Ah…}
{That’s right.}
Saike: Yeah.
{For the last three days I’ve been staying at Johann’s villa.}
Saike: That’s…
Johann: Ah, Kumamune?
He’s my buddy~
Without him around I just can’t get to sleep.
(Handwritten- Even way back.)
{Johann is a strange guy.}
(Handwritten- Even though you’re an adult?)

004
Minmin: Yuki-chan, seconds!!
{Everyone here cohabitates, whether they’re working or going to school.}
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
(Handwritten- Ah! Dangit!)
{It would appear that everyone was brought here to enhance their oracles for the sake of a future battle.}

005
{I don’t have any memory of it..}
{But I hope I can become friends with everyone like this as I was before.}
Kalim: Got your meat Saike!!
(Handwritten- Huh?! Ah!)
Kalim: If you aren’t on your guard here, you might just lose your life!!
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
(Handwritten- That’s no good Kalim!!)
(Sfx- Poii *fwp*)
Johann: I don’t much like pork.
So maybe we can trade…this for your potato salad!
(Handwritten- So good~)

006
{The fifth day.}
Shinonome: Here we go!
{We use (doubles) ping pong matches to decide who will be on cleaning duty.}
Saike: Hah!!
(Sfx- Paaann *thoom*)
(Handwritten- Nice return!)
Masamune: Deadly move…
(Sfx- Kuii)

007
Masamune: Sprout Smash!!!
(Sfx- Pon pon *plop plop*)
(Sfx- Kohhh gunnii *grinnd*)
(Sfx- Haiiiiin *sweeeen*)
Johann: Ahh!!
Someone: 11-7! The winners are Shinonome and Minegishi!!
Shinonome: Yay~!
Masamune: Yay.
Johann: That’s cheating Minegishi-kun!
Using your oracle like that…
Quit celebrating!!
One more! One more!!
{Surprisingly he’s one who really hates to lose.}

008
{The seventh day.}
(Sfx- Pata pata *fwap fwap*)
Johann: Hey Saike.
Saike: Hm?
Johann: What do you think of…
Yuki-chan?
(Handwritten- Wut?)
Saike: Yuki-chan…y’mean,
Shiinamachi-san?
Johann: Yup.
The truth is…
Lately I’ve been finding myself kind of interested in her…
Saike: Huuuuh?! Seriously?!

009
Johann: Yeah, I mean, She always gives off this weird sorta feeling right?
Like I’m not sure if she even has a pulse sometimes!
{Sometimes Johann talks to me about some pretty surprising things.}
Saike: Y—You’re right.
(Handwritten- She does seem sort of spaced out a lot of the time.)
Johann: Should I confess? Well? Should I?
Saike: H—huh? Um…
Well…
(Sfx- Yusa yusa *shake shake*)
Saike: W—Well I guess at the least I can talk to her for you?
Maybe find out if she likes anyone?
Johann: Really?!
Yaaay! Thanks Saike!
I owe you one for life!
Saike: N—Naw…
(Handwritten-You’d go that far…)
Yohann: I feel like you’re the only one I can talk to about this…
But I feel like it was the right choice coming out and telling you!
(Handwritten- As expected of Saike!)

{Fifteenth day.}
Saike: ‘Mornin…
???: What was that Johann?!
Yohann: Shut up Kalim!!
Someone: Both of you calm down!
{Huh?}
{Wh--}
{What’s going…}
Kalim: I don’t understand you anymore!!
It’s always Saike this, and Saike that with you!!

013
Kalim: Let me remind you that you have other friends than Saike!!
Why are you wasting time –even now with a guy who doesn’t have any memory of his oracle?!
He’s totally useless!!
Do you think we’ve got the time to leisurely hang around right now?!
We have to gather more oracle holders and make them our comrades so we can protect them!!
We don’t have the time or luxury to coddle some useless baggage!!
Johann: You’re absolutely right…
In everything you said Kalim.

014
Johann: At some point the time to fight the humans will come and to defend ourselves we will need power.
To that end, Saike’s oracle is invaluable.
However, Saike’s oracle has a huge hurdle to overcome, and I think you all know that.
{Huh?}
Johann: It is…
An oracle that cannot be used unless he drowns in Mogura pond.

015
Johann: Heh…
There’s no way that someone with no memory…
Would blithely fulfill that condition for their oracle, right?
I knew that from the start.
I knew that we couldn’t expect anything from Saike’s oracle…
Kalim: Then why are you keeping him here?!
We don’t need anyone who can’t use their oracle!!
Johann: Because he’s our friend.
I don’t need Saike’s oracle.
Even without it I can still fight.
But…
Saike himself is essential…
Because he’s our precious “comrade”.

016
Johann: Even without his oracle..
Or his memories..
Saike is still our comrade!
(Sfx- POtahhh *drip*)
(Sfx- Boro Boro *drip drip*)

017
{Yohann!!!}
Johann: Even if everyone turns against me…
I am still his comrade!
His friend!!
{Saike…}

018
{You trust me plenty now, don’t you?}
Johann: I will never let him down.
(Side text- This man is the worst possible person. Next issue, what happens to Saike now that his heart has been moved…?!)
{Johann…}
{I….!!}
