Vol 17: EAR SHELL
MITSUHASHI KAITO
002
(Side text- A mysterious woman and a huge abalone!)
???: This is “Dish City”
Where that thing has crushed everything.
(Sfx- Zuuunn *doooom*)
Zen: Th—that mountain is abalone?!?
It’s huuuge!
003
Ryoko: That thing’s really an ingredient?
(Sfx- Uwaah!)
Zen: It’d be kind of hard to eat the road though…
???: It doesn’t move one bit, obviously.
It’s seriously a quiet behemoth that sits there unmoving.
{Abalone is a crispy large shell food item..}
{In the past it was valued as a high class meal.}
???: But now eating one is super tough….it’s like one of the world’s biggest ironies, no?
(Sfx- Haaah)
Zen: Oooh.
High class huh? Which means it’s gotta taste awesome.
C’mon Ryoko, let’s cook that abalone!
…uh, hello?
(Sfx- Shiiiiin)
Ryoko: Abalone, huh…
004
Zen: What’s wrong? Why do you seem so disinterested in it?!
Ryoko: Well, that’s…
???: Oh? Could it be you’ve never had abalone before?
(Sfx- Gikurii *poit*)
Ryoko: Ah! When did I ever say I’ve never eaten it before?!
(Upper text- That’s why you’re such a kid.)
???: Ohoooh?
You’ve never had it before and so you’re saying you’re not interested? You are such a kid.
Ryoko: What?!
A—a kid?
???: Well, whatever. You might be a kid…
But you beat me fair and square.
So what’ll it be? Taking all of my stuff or my life? Whichever it is, make it quick kay?
005
{Damn, to think that the end would come for me here of all places…}
{Will they shoot me down? Cut me down, or strangle me I wonder…?}
{Eh, not that it matters really. This world’s been kaput for a while now.}
{It seems I’m ready to come to where you are at last, Nana…}
???: Er…
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU’VE GOT A HOSTAGE?!
(Sfx- Deeeen)
006
Ryoko: You ask that but…isn’t it obvious this is a picnic?
???: Don’t answer me so casually!!
I’m asking because I want to know what’s going on in those heads of yours!!
Ryoko: Well I was just thinking…
That the three of us could have lunch.
???: Huh?
Ryoko: I sort of get it –bloodthirsty things like stealing and killing….
After all the world has become like this..
But if that’s all there was to it, wouldn’t that be kind of sad?
007
{Welcome back!}
{Come on in and have something to eat, sister.}
(Sfx- Gririii *grnnnd*)
{Stop it.}
{Dammit I’m begging you not to look at me like that.}
???: You there.
You keep that up and you won’t live very long…
008
???: And?
What’s the real reason behind you kids being here?
(Sfx- Pan pan)
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
Ryoko: She certainly can pack them away…
Um, well I…
(Sfx- Paku paku *chew chew*)
???: Yeah?
Ryoko: I’m looking for my mother who went missing three years ago.
???: Three years ago?
She’s probably not alive anymore.
You should just give up…
Ryoko: But the white rice I met said that she’s alive!
And I don’t think it’d lie!
009
???: Hmm, Rice huh?
And what about you, white hair?
Zen: Me?
Well I’m…
Ryoko: Zen-kun, it might be best if you don’t say too much about the germ thing..
It’s kind of hard to believe.
Zen: ‘Kay.
I’m looking for my friends and hope to find ‘em eventually!
It’s not like I’m hiding anything else!
Totally not!
???: I see.
Ryoko: And what about you? I think it’s about time you told us your name.
???: Maaan,
How many years has it been since I’ve had to introduce myself to someone else...
I’m Shinajina Rere.
Oh and right…
I’m a former prisoner.
(Sfx- Jarrahh *clatter*)
010
Zen: Seriously?!
Rere: That’s such a good expression. What, you scared?
Bet that’s gonna make it hard for you to trust me now huh?
Ryoko: How come you’ve been hanging around this town?
Rere: Huuuh? Isn’t it obvious? I’m waiting for something here…
And that’s my death.
Zen: Err, whut?
Rere: Right, thanks for the grub and all that.
The time’s about right now…
(Sfx- Nshoo *upsy daisy*)
011
Rere: Come with me, I’ll show you around…
“Dish City”.
(Sfx- Zatshhh *dsffft*)
Ryoko: Hold on a moment…
Rere: C’mon, we ain’t got time to dither around here.
Say…
Are you gonna return my piece anytime soon?
Zen: Oh..
Maybe when your killing intent toward us..
Has gone away sis.
{Ohh? I thought he was an idiot, but he’s oddly sharp…}
{It’ll be a little difficult to find openings in these two after all, huh?}
012
(Sfx Hyuuuhhh *fwhooooh*)
Rere: This is Tsubonaka street…
Which is right in front of where a library used to be.
Zen: Whoa, there’s nothing here…
Rere: You can’t see that I lost something here too though…
Welp, let’s get moving.
Zen: There are lots of places riddled with bulletholes here…
Rere: That’s probably where I did some shooting.
With my two guns.
013
Rere: And we’ve arrived…
At our final destination…!
My house!
Zen: Whoa! It’s so old and beat up! I love it!
Rere: C’mon, c’mon..
Come right on in.
Ryoko: Excuse the intrusion!
(Sfx- Batann *clamp*)
014
Zen: Sis, I think the heat you’re already packing is more than enough, yeah?
Rere: Damn, talk about being too sharp.
You should have two guns of the same model right?
But the holes we saw earlier in the city had a third bigger hole in ‘em.
So it’s obvious to think that you’d have another piece packed away, yeah?
015
(Sfx- Jakaah *clank*)
Rere: So what, you wanna go here and now?
Keep in mind I’ve got the home team advantage here.
I think it might be better if you kids skedaddle and never come back here.
Ryoko: What do you mean?
Rere: It’s about that time…
Ryoko: Wha?!
Zen: Ryoko, outside!!
(Sfx- Ooooooooooooh *roaaaaaaaaaar*)
016
(Sfx- Ooooooooooooooooooooh *roaaaaaaaaaaaar*)
(Sfx- Basa basa basa *fwaap fwaaap fwaap*)
(Sfx- Zuun zzuzuuuun *ddoom doom*)
017
(Sfx- PUshuuuhhh *fwhooooom*)
(Sfx- Zuzuunnn *thoooom*)
(Sfx- baki baki *crackle crackle*)
(Sfx- Oooooooo *Roaaaaaaaaaaaarh*)
018
(Sfx- Goooh *fwoom*)
Rere: That’s right, that’s Dish City’s affinity.
(Sfx- Zuzuuunn *ddooom*)
(Sfx- zuzuuuun *dooooom*)
(Sfx- Zuzzuunn *doooom*)
Ryoko: Wha…
Zen: The abalone is moving this way…???
(Sfx- Zuzuuunn *doooom*)
(Sfx- Kohh *tp*)
Rere: Soon that abalone will pass right through this house…
(TN- “abalone” is bolded.)
019
Rere: Do you get it?
There’s no one who can stop that thing.
This city is about to be annihilated.
I’m helpless…
There’s nothing I can do but to watch over this house as it’s crushed and die.
So knowing that you two kids should give up looking for treasure here….
And go ho—
020
(Sfx- Gaah *fwapp*)
Rere: Wha…
Sailor outfit, are you insane?!
Ryoko: I’ll stop it.
(Sfx- Goooohhhh *fwhoooom*)
(Side text- Ryoko leaps into battle against the giant form abalone that threatens to crush the city!! Next issue, the clash!!)
