Saike Once Again 78

I don't wanna be one of those people, but this is an interesting take on prejudice that I never thought Fukuchi would be on board with, and for that I'm impressed.



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

SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Top text- Saike is being transported by the police...the “conflict” “M arc”'s 6th chapter.
SAIKE ONCE AGAIN
(Side text- Co existence? An enemy?// Society bears it's fangs.)
(Bottom text- The latest volume of the manga #8 is in stores everywhere!!)
Take 78: A hero in secret.
FUKUCHI TSUBASA

002
(Side text- A sad yell echoes in the interrogation room...)
Saike: How many times do I have to say this?
That monster is a “human”!!
Hirayasu-kun just hasn't learned to control his ability yet!!
He ran from the school and is hiding somewhere in the city, isn't he?!
With my oracle, I can do something...
Before he runs wild again---we have to!!

003
Saike: It's something I can still do today!!
{Currently 4:40 pm}
Saike: If I go now I can still return!!
Detective: Yeah, sure.
You can rewind time to this morning.
Saike: That's right!!
So I have to hurry to mogura pond...
(Sfx- Baaan slam)

004
Detective: Don't go underestimating humans...
you freak.
You were trying to protect that monster...
Saying some crap like “We're human.”
In the last few years strange cases involving decidedly not human elements have increased...
And these are “M” or whatever, yeah?
With this case even we've got to realize that “M” exists...
To understand what's going on.
So if that monster is “M”....

005
Detective: So what the hell are you who protected that thing?
Huuh?
You're “M” too right?!
(Sfx- Paaan slap)
Detective: So you're in cahoots with this monster!!
And then the two of you snuck into the school acting all innocent...!!
What I want to know is what the hell were you planning!!
Weelll?!

006
Saike: I—I'm..!!
(Sfx- Gataah clatter)
(Sfx- Pikuhhh throb)
Detective: Hii!!
(Sfx- Gataaan clatter)
Saike: Huh?
(Sfx- jaakiii Click)
{Eh?}
Detective: Don't move an inch.
You make any funny moves and they'll shoot first and ask questions later.
Until we've got proof that you ain't a monster, we're taking extreme defensive measures.

007
Officer: Nishikata-san, it's time.
(Sfx- Gataahh clatter)
Nishikata: You'd best get prepared...
We humans are gonna drag the truth out of you guys...
and then exterminate you.
(Sfx- Bataaan slam)
{Eventually we Oracle holders will be discriminated against.}
{And then we are superior will be hated and massacred by them.}

008
{Is this...}
{Reality?}
(Sfx- Gastsuh gatsuh)
{Everything Johann said....}
Officer: Get in.
(Sfx- Kiii grnnnnd)
{Was the truth.}
{Even if i'm able to return to today...}
{Is there really a path for coexistence for us?}
(Sfx- Gashaaaaan slaaam)

009
TV: Up next....
This morning in OO City a case where a “wild beast” attacked people occurred.
We don't know the true form of the monster since it fled...
So civilians should beware.
At this moment we are uploading a picture we have obtained to our social media accounts so that people all over Japan can have an open dialog about this controversy.
Toizumi-san, just what on earth is this monster?
This truly is a creature of which has never been seen before –some of it looks like a bear, and on the other hand it bears some resemblance to an alligator.
However what we should take special note of is it's “head”.

010
News caster: This is a person's face...?
Toizumi: It would seem so.
News caster: There are rumors that this monster –or at least a part of it was human before....
Also uploaded on social media is the pictures of these two middle school students...
It seems passionate discussion has started around the unknown creature being “M”...
Toizumi: Hahahah...M is it?
News caster: The police are talking to this young man in order to gain some insight into this situation.
The investigation into the truth presses on.

011
(Currently 9:07 PM)
{It's 9pm now huh...}
{Soon “Today” will be over.}
{To what time does my oracle remain effective?}
{Midnight?}
{Or does it go until 6:59 the next day if I want to return to today at 7 in the morning?}

012
{Our abilities don't come with an 'Instruction booklet on their usage”.}
{Which means there's no other way to know the “particulars” without investigating them ourselves.}
{I have yet...}
{To verify the scope of my ability, huh?}
{Don't underestimate humans...}
{Freak.}
{People cannot accept what is different from them.}
{You're just monsters who act like humans to blend in at school!!}

013
{I'm afraid of “M”.}
Saike: For what purpose were...
Oracle holders born into this world?
I thought we could coexist....
But reality is far different
The world is exactly as Johann said it would be.
Then for what reason...
...Just what reason do we have to exist?
Say...

014
Saike: Hizu-kun.

015
Saike: Tell me...
What should I do?
Hizu: Dunno.
The only thing I can do is to get you out of here.

016
Hizu: After that you're free to do what you want.
Whether you go back to this morning and make it so this whole thing didn't happen...
Or just leave things as is and go along with events as they are, is up to you.
Ana: Hurry up Hizu!!
We're gonna be seen!!
Hizu: So what's it gonna be?
Saike: It's obvious isn't it?
I am a hero.

017
Saike: Now then...
Let's go back and save Hirayasu-kun.
And set the world right.

018
Officer: The suspect has escaped!!
Search for him at once!!
{The time for understanding will come...}
{Someday for sure.}
{And until then...}
{I will be a hero in secret.}
