Saike Once Again 50

And 50 chapters! Been some time since Fukuchi reached this high score, but because of Saike's odd schedule, it hasn't technically run a year despite existing for two.



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

Hizu: We’ve been waiting.
Johann: Don’t worry Saike,
I won’t hand you over to them ever again!
Saike: My comrade is Johann!!
Not you!
Yuuko: Ana-chan!!
(Sfx- Pohh *fwoop*)
(Sfx- Doooon *booom*)
Ana: Yuuko!!
Yuuko: How could you!!
(Sfx- Dooonnn *thoom*)
(Sfx- Baiiinn *booing*)
(Sfx- Kuruhh Spn*)

SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
FUKUCHI TSUBASA

003
Yuuko: Eh?
(Handwritten- She’s running away?)
(Sfx- Baaan *thooom*)
Yuuko: Johann!
Johann: Follow her, Yuuko!!
(Handwritten- What is Ana scheming?)

004
{This is good…}
{Right, Saike…!!}
{An hour earlier.}
Ana: Saike?!
Is that you Saike?
Saike: Yeah, it’s me Ana.
Ana: Your memory came back?!
Saike: Yup.
Hizu-kun is there with you too, right?
And you’re both at Mogura pond?
Ana: How did you know….
Saike: Johann and the others are headed there today too.

005
Saike: Listen well to what I’m about to say.
Johann and the others don’t know that I have already repeated today,
And we’re going to use that opening to defeat them.
Yuuko: Waait!!
Saike: Muteki Yuuko’s oracle is to strengthen her body many-fold temporarily.
If you just run away from her normally she’ll catch up to you in no time.
Ana: Though she’s never used it like that before…

006
Ana: Packing tape!!!
(Handwritten- Where is she heading?)
(Sfx- Hyuuooohhh *fwooom*)
(Sfx- Peh *pt*)
Ana: Now return!
(Sfx- Doooon *fwooom*)
Ana: Uwaaah?!

007
Ana: UWah!
Wah!
Whoa.
(Sfx- Kuruh *spn*)
(Sfx- Dooonn *thooom*)
Ana: Awesome!!
I managed to make that much distance in one go…
If that’s the case then…!!
(Sfx- pihhh *peehh*)
(Sfx- Baannn *dssshh*)
(Sfx- Pehh *pt*)

008
Yuuko: Ana-chan…
I understand just what your plan is!
You’ll run until my oracle’s “time is up” and then counter attack...!!!
Right?
(Sfx- Doooon *thooom*)
Yuuko: My “Axe” is an oracle with a three minute time limit..!!
As a former comrade, Ana-chan knows this..
If she can keep running until then, Ana-chan will win.
(Sfx- Kuruhh *spnn*)
{I’ve only got…}
{One minute left…!!}

009
{I can do this!!!}
(Sfx- Paannn *thooom*)
Ana: Whoa!
(Sfx- Pan pan pan pan)
(Sfx- Don don don don *thoom thoom thoom thoom*)
Ana: Geez!!
She’s fast!!

010
Yuuko: I got you!!
(Sfx- Gahh *Grab*)
Ana: Now return!!
(Sfx- Birihhh *Shfft*)
Yuuko: Ah!
Hold it right there,
You traitor!!
(Sfx- Dooon *thooom*)
Ana: Nngh….!!

011
Ana: Listen to me,
Yuuko!!
It’s true I betrayed you…
But I don’t think I’m wrong!!
I’m walking down the path I believe in!
If you desire it…
You can walk down the same path I do!
If I beat you…
Cut all ties with Johann,
Yuuko!!

012
Yuuko: Fine, Ana-chan!!
But I have a secret plan.
Take this, Ana-chan!!
Waaaaahhhhh
(Sfx- Kuruhh *spin*)
Yuuko: Puhhh.
(Sfx- Punyuuuh *squish*)
Ana: Puhh…

013
(Sfx- Gahhh *shhst*)
Yuuko: Ana-chan’s been weak to funny faces like that since before…
I can use our past comraderies to my advantage too!
Ana: Kuh!!
Yuuko: Ten seconds left. I can make it!!
Muteki...
(TN- Muteki means “unparalleled” or “invincible.” I didn’t TL it since it’s a part of her name, but now since it’s a part of her attack I figure I should make a note.)

014
Yuuko: Kiiiii…..

015
(Sfx- Doooooon *thuuuuud*)
Yuuko Ngho!!

016
Yuuko: Hah…
Heeee?
{The ground is…}
{Packing tape?}
(Sfx- Putaaahh *tppph*)
(Sfx- Zaatsh *sshft*)
Ana: Just barely made it.
(Sfx- Dooon *thooom*)
Ana: I made this area here packing tape beforehand.
Way before you guys showed up at Mogura pond.
(Sfx- Bannn *thoom*)

017
Ana: Since you were determined to come this far, I captured you to keep you from interfering with Johann and the others.
Though you were way faster than I imagined, so I really began to sweat making it here to this trap.
Ah and that last weird face of yours really gave me some trouble too.

018
Yuuko: Something like this is…
Axe, full power!!
(Sfx- Pushuhhh *sfffft*)
Ana: Time’s up Yuuko.
Yuuko: Wah!
(Sfx- Jitabata jitabata *struggle struggle*)
Ana: Now then…
I wonder if things are all right on their side…
Yuuko: Let me go, Ana-chaaaaaan!!
(Side text- A one stick victory!! Next issue, a clash with Johann’s next comrade!!)
(TN- The side text is a pun. The original phrase is 破顔一笑 (Hagan isshou) or smiling broadly. The kanji used here is something like “A sticky faced victory.” But it’s pronounced the same.)
TO BE CONTINUED IN ISSUE 32.
