SAIKE ONCE AGAIN.
Take 56: A meal in Pohkara
(Side text- Clothing from around the world…)
(Side text- Behold today’s selection from the heavenly country of Nepal.)
(Side text- The fourth chapter of the seventh series of “searching” in Nepal for the healing ability user!)
{Sari: The clothing of citizens in Nepal. It’s a single cloth wrapped around the waist that’s about 1 meter around and 6 meters long and worn around the shoulder. Huh? Quit staring at me!!}
FUKUCHI TSUBASA

002
Saike: Whooa…
So this is Pohkara?
(Handwritten- It’s really lively here.)
(Sfx- Gaya gaya gaya *hustle bustle*)
(Bottom text- With a lead to the healing ability user in hand, they head to Pohkara!)
Saike: This is just in comparison to Kathmandu,
But there really are a lot of tourists here.
Eiji: Pohkara is the base for “Himalayan treks” apparently.
{Sick from the bus ride.}
Saike: Treks?

003
Eiji: There…
The Himalayan mountain range.
You remember what Kumari said.
The oracle holder who can cure anything…
The “Healing God” is up in the northern mountains.
Saike: Then they’re somewhere up there?
Eiji: Would seem that way.
First though we should look for ability users.
Ana: Yeah, to catch a thief we gotta use one after all.

004
Ana: Okay, let’s go and…
Find that ability user—
(Sfx- Guuuuuuuu *grrrrrrrrrrrrr*)
(Sfx- Guuuuuuuuu *grrrrrrr*)
(Sfx- Uuuuuuuu)
Eiji: What, you hungry or something?
I guess we’d better rustle up some grub first then.
Saike: Sounds good!
(Sfx- Poohhh pohhh *blusssshh*)
(Sfx- akaaaaahhh *reedddd*)
(Sfx- Kururuhhh *rrrrrr*)

005
Ana: N—No! That wasn’t my stomach!!
Saike: Come to think of it we haven’t had anything to eat since we left Kathmandu.
Ana: I’m telling you I’m not hungry!!
Eiji: Where should we eat? Ana, you should decided since you’re the hungriest here.
Ana: I’m nooooooot!!
???: Here you go! Thanks for waiting!
(Sfx- Doooon *thoom*)

006
Saike: Whoa!!
(Handwritten- Uwah!)
(Sfx- Amazing!!)
Guy: Please eat up while it’s hot.
This is our chief’s proud Nepalese cuisine!
Saike: Ah, this is tasty!!
(Handwritten- The outside is crunchy but the inside is soft!!)
Guy: That’s Samosa.
It’s Nepalese piroshiki.
Ana: And this?
Is it beef?
Dude: Ah, no.
That’s Sakua, or goat meat.
Cows are gods, so other than water buffalo we don’t eat them.
Ana: Hm..
It’s pretty good.
It goes down easy and isn’t oily at all.
(Handwritten- It is pretty tasty.)
(Sfx- Mokuyu mokuyu. *chew chew*)

007
Saike: I’d like to try more Nepalese food.
Ana: Me too. I didn’t know about anything other than Curry.
Eiji: More Sekua please.
Guy: Right away!
Saike: But will we really find any ability users here?
We’ve only got Hizu-kun’s ability to see the fumes…
Eiji: That’s right. If we just randomly stroll around looking, the chances are slim we’ll find anyone.
Dude: Here’s your Sekua.
Ana: Mister, do you know anything?
About Oracles that is.
(Sfx- Mokya mokya *chew chew*)
Dude: Oracles?
Eiji: They’re people who use mysterious powers.
Has anyone like that come into this restaurant?
Dude: Hmmm, I don’t know about that…
(Handwritten- I see…)
Dude: More importantly, have some “Momo”.
Saike(?): Momo?

008
Dude: Momo is a Nepalese gyouza.
Our Momo is the most popular!
(Handwritten- Consider it my treat!)
Saike: Ohh…
{Huh?}
{What is this?}
{This feeling of being drawn in…}
Saike: My hand!!
(Sfx- Suuhhh *drawww*)
(Sfx- Munyuuhh *squish*)
Saike: Ah…
Ahh…
{I can’t stop it!!}

009
Saike: Help me Ana, Hizu-kun!!
My hand is acting on it’s own!!
Eiji: Huh?
(Sfx- Baahh *fwoom*)
(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo *rmmmmble*)
(Sfx- Shururuuh shrururuhh *shlurrrrp*)
Cook: The Momo I cook is special…
Anyone who looks at it will be drawn to put it in their mouth.

010
Cook: And those who eat that Momo become it’s prisoner!!
They won’t be able to live without my momo!!
Look at the customers around you….they are my eternal patrons!!
(Sfx- Mucha musha *cew cew*)
Eiji: Ana, that guy’s an Oracle holder!!
(Handwritten- The power fumes are coming out of him!!)
Ana: Don’t let Saike eat that!!
{Arm packing tape-fication!!}

011
(Sfx- Byoohhh *fwoom*)
(Sfx- Bitaaaahhh *thooom*)
(Sfx- Guawaahh *swooom*)
Ana: Ah!
(Handwritten- He’s bringing his face closer!)
(Sfx- Gahhh *grab.*)
{What the hell kind of strength is this?!}

012
Eiji: Stop it Saike!!
Don’t eat that!!
Saike: I know that, but…
But there’s like another me in my head screaming…
Eat it! I have to eat it!!
Eiji: A brain washing type oracle?!
Dammit, what do I do?!
(Sfx- Guwaaaaan)

013
Eiji: Damn…
Me too…
Dammit…
I can’t be doing something like this now…
{Saike’s left over life….}
Eiji: I can’t be held back at a place like this…
Saike is…
Saike: Uwaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Eiji: Saike is…!!!

014
(Sfx- Perii *top*)
(Sfx- Shuruhh *swiiff*)
(Sfx- Pehhh)
(Sfx- Dooon *thooom*)

015
Saike: Muuum?! (Packing tape?)
Ana: For now let’s just keep those trappers shut with packing tape.
Lunch is on hold.
Saike: Mumuh (Ana!)
Ana: Well, thanks to this we’ve at least been able to find an ability user right away…
Cook: Eh?!
Ana: It’d be good for you if you know something about the “Healing God.”
Though…
Whether you do or don’t…
You’re going to pay me an annoyance fee either way.

016
Cook: I…
I’m dweply sowwy.
(Sfx- Borohh *droop*)
(Sfx- Chiiin)
Cook: At the beginning we just started cooking for fun!
But then as the customers started rolling in I guess we got a little conceited…
(Handwritten- We’ll even undo the brainwashing on the others!!)
Ana: So? Do you know anything?
Cook: Ah, about the “Healing God”?
I’ve heard something…
I believe that they’re an elder who’s pushing 90 or so years old.

017
Cook: But you can’t meet the elder without a “guide”.
Saike: Guide?
Cook: There’s a special place in the Healing God’s village.
Unless you have a guide who knows that specific route, you’ll never find the place!
Ana: And where do we find that guide?
Cook: There’s one person I know…
An oracle holder in Chitwan National Park who goes by “Gurun”.
Eiji: Gurun in Chitwan, huh?
Okay.
Cook: Ah! But that place is…

018
Cook: Ahh, they left.
They’re an impatient bunch of Japanese people…
I was just about to warn them…
Dude: Warn them?
Lately the master of Chitwan..
Has been sighted there…
The man eating Bengal Tiger…
(Sfx- GOoooooo *roaaaaar*)
Cook: Let us pray for their safety.
(Handwritten- Namaste~)
(Side text- Next issue, a confrontation with “trouble?”)
(TN- The Japanese word for “Tiger” is “Tora” so the pun here is that “toraburu” sounds like “trouble”.)
TO BE CONTINUED IN ISSUE 45.
