RYOKO 14

Ryoko's still hanging in there, which means this is the perfect time to kill it before it manages to thrive by merely showing interest in the series. I mean...catch up.



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

Vol. 14: Move someone’s butt 1
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Sfx- Bataaan *thud*)
(Side text- Zen’s awake!!)
Ryoko: Wh—what?!
{Geez, of all times to wake up…why’d it have to be while I was doing laundry?}

003
(Sfx- Kyorokyoro *wfft*)
Zen: Where am I?
Ryoko: Um…
This is my house.
Zen: Vice captain, you sure got old…
Dad: Hahah, I’m Ryoko’s Father.
Ryoko: You’ve been asleep for five days….how are you feeling?
Zen: Five days?! That’s crazy! Where are the others?
Ryoko: I went to look for them, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.
But I didn’t see any traces of blood or anything so I think they managed to escape.

004
Ryoko: I’m sorry I couldn’t find them.
Zen: It’s cool, don’t worry about it.
Ryoko: Huh?
Zen: All this worrying has made me hungry. I’m gonna go get some canned food.
(Sfx- Sutasutasuta *tmptmptmp*)
Ryoko: W—wait! We’ve got food here!
Zen: Whoooa! Thanks!
Time to chow down!
(Sfx- Zuraaaaah *thoooom*)
(Sfx- Washhih *shfft*)
Ryoko: We’ve got chopsticks, so why are you using your hands?!
Zen: But the chopsticks are dirty, right?
Ryoko: So are your hands!!
Zen: It improves the taste.
Ryoko: No it doesn’t!!
{Why is he like this….}

005
Dad: Still, this is a surprise…are there any other people aside from you all out there?
Zen: Hn?
I know there are places with lots of people…
But they’re not necessarily nice or anything.
See, we came from various places and moved around a lot looking for a place to live…
But each place we went to was under the control of the ingredients and very dangerous.
But for some reason this city was the only one not taken over by the ingredients..
And it’s way safer than anywhere else we’ve been so we stayed here the longest.
{The ingredient that took control of this place was the Black haired A5 Japanese beef.}
{I’m sure that it’s the strongest and smartest one in this city.}

006
Zen: It seems like the craziness from these ingredients is spreading,
And now the amount of ingredients in Japan is rising.
Seems like even this place won’t be safe for folks before long.
Ryoko: I see..
Dad: General, what will you do from here on?
You’ve been separated from your friends…
Zen: It’s cool.
Those guys have the vice-captain, and without baggage like me holding ‘em back, they’ll survive.
So there’s no need to worry about ‘em.
So I have to just get all healed up,
And take my time searching for ‘em.

007
{I’m concerned about mom myself…}
Ryousuke: Papa!
Let’s play!
Dad: Well, for now…
We’ve managed to treat you, but your body is still a mess,
And you’ll need time to heal.
So while you’re recovering…
You can stay here with us!
(Sfx- Pikuhh *poit*)

008
Zen: Yay! You sure about that, pops?
Dad: Well, we can’t throw out an injured person after all!
Ryoko: D—dad, are you serious?
Dad: People are meant to help others out, right?
You can have the room on the second floor beside Ryoko’s.
Zen: Where?
Ryoko: Kyaaaaaah!!
Wait, wait, wait! Dad, this whole conversation got weird in a hurry!
Dad: Why are you so against this?
Ryoko: B—b-because…
My room only has one folding screen separating the two…
And I haven’t cleaned the room yet…

009
Ryousuke: I’ll show you the way.
Ryoko: Ryousuke, don’t!
Dad: Wait, weren’t you going to hunt today?
Ryoko: That’s right?
This is bad…
I’ve let too much time go by…
If I don’t hurry out there and hunt then..
Dad, yesterday we heard the yam’s cry right?!
Dad: That’s right, I’m sure it was the one buried in the schoolyard.
As long as it doesn’t move much it should be fine, but..
Ryoko: Then we’re having grilled yams today! I’ll make the preperations!
(Sfx- Tatatatata *tmptmptmp*)
Ryoko: I’m off!
Dad: Okay, be safe out there.
Ryoko: Ah! Don’t go into that room, either!

010
(Sfx- Kankan *taktak*)
(Sfx- Daan *hop*)
(Sfx- Kan *clak*)
(Sfx- Totsuh *shfft*)
(Sfx- Byoooooohhh *fwhoooooh*)
Ryoko: I have to hurry and find that yam…
Or it’ll go to waste!
???: How’s it going? Did you find it?
Ryoko: No, not yet…
???: I see…

011
Ryoko: --wait, whaaaaaaat?
Why did you follow me? This place is dangerous?
Zen: Ahahahah, I’d say it’s the same for you though.
(Sfx- Kankankankanan *taktaktaktak*)
(Sfx- Sutaah *tmph*)
Zen: Ooh.
Ryoko: Go back home.
Zen: Huh? Why?

012
Ryoko: You are still injured!
And you won’t get any better if you do not rest!
Zen: But look, see I’m good enough to move around…
And walk at least..
Ryoko: Do you not understand that ingredients are lurking around here?!
Geez, fine. Just stay behind me…
I’m in a hurry here!
Zen: Oooh…
Ryoko: By the way General, do you remember when I was fighting the rice?
Zen: Hm?
Oh yeah that was pretty painful.
What is it? Did something happen?
Ryoko: Yeah, at the time the surroundings around the rice were strange…
Zen: Oh?

013
Zen: Ah! A tomato!
It just appeared outta nowhere!
(Sfx- Zuuhhh *Sffft*)
Zen: Ryoko are we gonna eat that thing too?
Ryoko: We’re not hunting that. Today is yams only!
Tomata: Shaaaaaaah!
(Sfx- Bakuunn *thooom*)

014
Zen: It ate the tomato!!
Ryoko: It’s a predator! Get back!
Yams….
To think it was this huge…
Yam: NAAAAAAAAAHHH

015
(Sfx- baaooooh *fwhooom*)
(Sfx- SHuuuhh *shhhhsh*)
(Sfx- Dooon *thud*)
Zen: Uwaaah!
(Sfx- Dopapapa *bloorsh*)
Zen: What the heck? It’s so sticky!!

016
{I can’t be careless….I have to finish this quickly or else!!}
Ryoko: I’ll decide it with one stroke of this sword…
(Sfx- Bogooooh *blrop*)
{No way…?!}
(Sfx- Gopaaah *spiiiit*)
Zen: Gyaaah! This time it spit the tomato out!!

017
{Dangit!}
(Sfx- Zupaaah *Blorsh*)
(Sfx- Bichaa *blshh*)
Ryoko: Kyah!
(Sfx- Zuteeen *thud*)
(Sfx- gohhhths)
Ryoko: Oww….
(Sfx- Doroooh *blrsh*)
Ryoko: It got me….I didn’t think it’d go after the General….
(Sfx- nebaah)
(Sfx- Zurururu *shhhhs*)
Zen: Ah! It’s getting away!

018
Ryoko: We have to hurry…hurry and go after it,
Or we’ll never make it in time!
Zen: Why are you in such a rush? We’ve still got time till sunset, right?+
(Sfx- pitaaah *ptt*)
Ryoko: If we don’t hurry…
The yam will..
Keep moving around, and as it does it’s body will fall apart..
Until there’s nothing of it left!!
Zen: Th—that’s bad.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhh *dsshhhh*)
(Bottom text- Next issue Yam. Before it’s body drags off, hunt it down…!!)
