FUKUCHI TSUBASA
(Sfx- Fuhh *Sfft*)
(Sfx- Paahh *fwfft*)

002
Ana: Wah!!
Depes: We’ve arrived.
Raj: OW!
(Sfx- Pipipii *beep*)
(Sfx- Paaah *Hooong*)
Saike: Huh?!
(Sfx- DOooon *booom*)
(Sfx- Gooohh *vroom*)
(Sfx- Wai wai)
(Sfx- Gagaaa)

003
Saike: Huh….?!
Th—This is the Healing God’s village?!
{What is this…?!}
{Is this really inside the recesses of Mt. Everest?!}
{More than a Village…}
{It’s as if…}
{We never left Kathmandu?!}
(Handwritten- There are even cars here!!)
(Sfx- Pokaahhh)
Depes: As promised I will lead you to the Healing God’s mansion…
But I have no idea of what’ll happen to you form there!
{What does that mean…??}

004
Depes: Please wait here.
Saike: It’s as if…we’re being fooled by some grand illusion…
Raj: What an amazing mansion…
???: Sorry to keep you waiting.
I am the Healing God’s granddaughter, Roma.
He will see you now.

005
Saike: Um….
Why’s this village so well off?
Roma: It is thanks to Grandfather.
{The Healing God?}
(Sfx- Zathh *sfft*)

006
???: You have done well to make it here.
There aren’t many who can make it this far.
You’d need suitable amounts of grit to make it, you see.
Saike: This person is the Healing God!!
The oracle holder who can heal anything!!

007
???: However I regret to inform you…
That you have come just a little too late.
Saike: What do you mean?!
Ana: That’s right!! We came here all the way from Japan, y’know!
???: The oracle of healing has a limited “amount” of times it can be used.
It is a precious oracle that cannot be overused.
Roma: It is because of this that we’ve had to charge a steep price for the healing oracle.
For one person to be healed, a billion rupee is necessary.
Saike: A…
Billion?

008
Eiji: So it’s about money here too?
Saike: Hizu-kun.
Eiji: This village’s providence is thanks to the healing oracle isn’t it?
Rich people from all over the world come here to have their illnesses healed, and pay huge sums to the village.
That’s why despite this village being in the sticks out here in the mountains…you were able to make a capital on the level of Kathmandu.
But that doesn’t matter one damn bit to me.
No matter what I have to do, I will have you heal Saike’s body.

009
Eiji: I ain’t talking to you….
Bring out the Healing God.
Saike: Huh?!
Eiji: It’s not this dude.
He doesn’t have “power fumes” coming out of him.
???: And there you have it….
Healing God.
???: Mhm…
I’ve heard the conversation.
(Sfx- Gogogogogogogogo *rmmmmmmble*)

010
(Sfx- Chuuba chuuba *suckle suckle*)
???: Mmm..
I am the “Healing God”.
(Sfx- DOoooon *doom*)

011
Saike: Th---
This baby….
Is the healing God?!!
(Sfx- CHuuba chuuba *suckle suckle*)
{B—But that’s just a baby?!}
(Sfx- Fuwaaah *yaaaawn*)
Healing God: Ah. Pardon me if I’m a bit hard to understand.
Since I my teeth aren’t in yet, I find it difficult to speak.
Saike: BEING ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING IS KIND OF AMAZING!!

012
Eiji: Whoa, are you serious?
Ana: I was surprised when we met Kumari….
But I’m speechless at this….
(Handwritten- A baby…)
Saike: But this is totally weird!
The head chef in Pokara said it to us right?
That the “Healing God is an old guy in his 90’s”!!
Roma: Grandfather is indeed 90 years old.
But as you can see he is a baby.
Saike: Wha…
What does this mean?
Healing God: It’s the Oracle recoil.

013
Healing God: My oracle is “Perfect Cure”.
A power where no matter what injury one has, I can once again return it to normal.
However the price for this is…
I am ever so slightly de-aged.
Of course if I become a fetus, I will die.
Saike: The—then when you were talking about a “limit” before….
Healing God: It’s my lifespan.

014
Healing God: Should I heal one more…
Then I will cease to exist.
Old guy: And there you have it.
I am the healing God’s younger brother.
In my brother’s place, I have making the selections on who he should heal.
Ana: No way..!! How’d you let your life wither away to this extent….
Healing God: It was for the sake of the village.

015
Healing God: No doubt you passed poorer villages on your way here, no?
This village was like that at one time too.
We were so poor that we didn’t have a means to satisfy ourselves much less recover from sickness. As such there was nothing but endless death for the people.
It was at that time that I discovered my oracle.
At first I just healed the people of the village…
But even when it came to that, I realized I had to come to a simple resolution.
I understood that my oracle has a “limit”.
If I used my oracle all at once, then I’d get young very quickly….and all not using the oracle did was slow my deaging.
IN short, my time itself was limited.

016
Healing God: It was then that my little brother had an idea.
“Why not limit use of your healing ability on those around the world who are rich for the sake of our Village’s own prosperity?”
Thanks to this prosperity, we were able to build a hospital and call for doctors.
If you look at it in the long run, rather than healing the citizens, I was able to heal the entire village.
Please understand…
Young Japanese people.

017
Healing God: I don’t have much life left.
So if possible I would want to use what I have remaining for the sake of the village.
Eiji: And like I said, I don’t give a rats ass…
About your village.
Ana: Hizu!
Eiji: Saike also doesn’t have much time left!!
I won’t go back home…until I see you nod your little head in agreement.
Even if I have to snatch a little baby up, I will have you heal Saike!!

018
Saike: We’ll just have to give up Hizu-kun.
Thank you Hizu-kun, Ana.
For bringing me this far.
I have a mission too you know?
To save the weak with this oracle and punish the wicked…
Ana: Saike…
Saike: But it’s wrong to sacrifice someone else’s life for my purposes.
That’s not heroic at all.

019
Saike: I want to use what’s left of my oracle to help someone like the healing God.
And live as a hero until the very end.

020
Healing God: I’m sorry…
Strong minded Japanese boy…

021
{Grandfather…}
Eiji: Sai….
(Sfx- Zuuunnnn *thoooom*)
(Sfx- Pishi pishi *crackle crackle*)

022

023
(Sfx- Para para para *clatter clatter*)

024
Saike: Huh?

025
(Sfx- Zuuhh *sffft*)
Ana: Ah!
Roma: Granfather!!
Old guy: Brother!!
Hizu: WH—What is he?!
Ana: Shi…
Shinonome!!
Saike: Huh?!
Shinonome…
You mean one of Johann’s comrades?
???: Nepal is a great country….
The Himalayas are beautiful…
And the Momo is delicious….
Wouldn’t you agree?
My good friend, Saike….
(Sfx- Puchii *munch*)
