<under char> Shouda Sumire <female>
Born May 31. 11 years old.
Gemini. Blood type B.

<text>In Volumes 1&2 she mostly received "I hate her" opinions.
Personally, I enjoy such characters which boldly show their bad character.
(In other words, she is my favorite after Hotaru...)
By this kidnapping story, I'm glad her popularity had a sudden rise. Drawing such ill-natured faces is very fun, you know.
Drawing such hair styles is very troublesome though. But, I had always wanted to
draw her Alice, therefore drawing this character has been very fun.
About her brother, I received many opinions: "I got had!", but
(didn't have the intention of tricking anyone...)
in the future I may write a few "sibling" jokes. fufu <laugh>
<bottom> Next is 5.

107.4
Luka: Natsume kidnapped... /

107.5
I can't believe that Reo would do such a thing...
small bubble: chatter

107.5
Luca: First of all, Natsume was hospitalized at the school's hospital. It's not an easy place to sneak in and out!
Hotaru: How should I know what’s going on…

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_108

108.1
Hotaru: But Mikan has always been a terrible liar. {Not good at it…}

108.2
Hotaru: With such an impressive performance…

Mikan: (What?!---) It was your idea, you should have been caught!
<small beside Mikan’s leg>: [Nasty “bitch”]<mmm…too harsh, she calls her a nasty “baba” which is a very bad way of calling oba-san>

109.3

Mikan: (Uwaaa!)
Mikan: (Natsumeeeee!!!)
Mikan: (whine---)
Perm: [This is troublesome...should we continue searching for the car...?]
sfx: irritated…
Perm: [or go back to school and explain...that would take too long?]

109.4/109.5

Perm: Even if we continue running after them, school will surely know where we are by
the medals. / Use that to somehow lead the teachers to Reo's car and let them find Natsume
in the trunk would be best... / For that, we absolutely need to find the car...
Mikan: {Anybody see a black limo?}

Mikan: ...anyways / do you have any money? {What about chasing by taxi?}
Perm: I didn't bring any...
sfx all of the page: gasp wheeze
Mikan: How about borrowing money from someone around here... / Hitch hike and get the car to follow them...
Perm: {No one would believe us immediately!}

small bubbles in all frames: gasp wheeze haa (put whichever ones at your discretion typewriter)

115.1
Mikan: AH!--- I say this, you say that! {Why not!?}
<over perm head>:AH!--- Shut up! Go and quickly get caught!
Perm: Hurry up and become conscious of being an Alice!?
<under box>: {whiskers retreated}

115.2
Perm: You and I both know that Reo and his group are suspicious.

115.3
But we don't know what type of Alice they have, or how dangerous they are!
Perm: We cannot risk involving ordinary people.

115.4
Perm: I already told you, we are Alices! / We have a higher "chosen" rank over
ordinary people.
Perm: The responsibilities we hold are also different!

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_116
116.1
Mikan: .....
Perm: {Anyways} Our priority now is not to lose sight of that car!

116.2
Perm: We must lead the teachers here as soon as possible for Natsume...

116.3
(Now that I think about it, it's been quite a while, / but still no trace of
teachers coming after us.)

116.4
(What's wrong...)

(That was...)
<spiky bubble>: Reo's voice...
sfx: step step…

(That's right, at that moment.....)
bubble: {If they wake up, use some medicine again on them.}
bubble: {Yes.}
spiky bubble: (We were also kidnapped by Reo.)

121.2
(No way.....)
small sfx: realization
bubble: I made contact with the organization...

121.3
(Why.....)
Reo bubble: What did they say?
staff: Reo-san's actions today / lacked consideration, therefore others are quite angry....

121.4
<long hair>: ...that's what I told you Reo-san. / Our mission was only to research the school's present state...
Reo: What do they mean "lack of consideration"? / This was a chance in a
million. They'd have done same if they had been in the same situation.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_122

122.1
(What is this conversation....)
Reo: ...what did the boss say?
staff: He was not available when I contacted them...

122.2
Reo <top bubble>: So boring.
Reo: If he hears we got our hands on the "black cat"… / I'm looking forward to
seeing what kind of face he'll make! {We brought along two unexpected extras though.}

122.3
staff <bubble>: Reo-san's face is known worldwide. / The organization fears
such small things may destroy it. {You should think more before acting.}
Reo: Ah—Yeah, yeah.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_123
123.1
(Organization....?)
Reo: Anyways, being in the entertainment business… / If the boss didn't order it
I couldn't care less to quit. [if the boss didn’t (of their organization “Z” )didn’t order to continue being a super star he couldn’t care less to quit.]
staff: Reo-san, you really like the boss don't you...

123.2
Reo: What about the smuggling boat?
staff: Tonight at 2:00 / Until then, we were ordered not to be found by the
school.

123.3
(Smuggling boat...)
<top bubble>: Hyuuga Natsume will be sent to the organization.
<middle bubble>: Before selling off the other two, we must find out their alices. {Since they are still children, the organization does not have data on them.}
<bottom bubble>: Draw it out of them once the medicine's effect wears off.
<small bubble>: Yes.

123.4
sfx: step
bigger sfx: surprise

123.5
Reo: He is…

123.6
Reo: That "black cat"....
sfx: roll…
Natsume: ...

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_124
124.1
Perm: {St-} Stepping on Natsume-kun...
staff: Um...what's that? "Black cat"?

124.2
Reo: The "black cat is…

124.3
Reo: His alias in the Underworld.
Reo: He's a dark operative of the shadows of Alice Gakuen.

124.4
Reo: "The exceptional case, operative at only 10 years old." / "Ignition ability, fire. Genius alice with tremendous power.”

124.4/.5
(Dark operative...!?)

124.5
Do you know why he's under the organization’s black list?

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_125

125.1
<top bubble>: Two years ago, /at only eight years of age…
<bottom bubble>: He turned his entire home town into a sea of fire in just
one night.

125.2
<bubble>: The truth smothered by the country,

125.3
<bubble>: The incident was publicized as simply arson and mysteriously dismissed.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_126

126.1
(No way....)
Reo<top>: Instead of juvenile, the country threw him into Alice Gakuen. / The school covered up his record, and little by little turned him into an "operative" to carry out their dirty work.
<middle bubble>: There probably aren’t enough fingers on both hands to count how many
countries, enterprises, and groups have been injured by him. / Our organization too.

126.2
Reo <bubble>: That…is what I know.
staff: That would surely change one's eye color…
<T/N: to change one’s eye color is an expression meaning to make people angry or scared>

126.3
<top bubble>: Of course he's not the only operative, / but he’s the only exception.
<bottom bubble>: Because while working, not once has he taken off his cat mask.* People have been in awe and nicknamed him "black cat".
*The Alice Prevention mask mentioned in other chapters.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_127
127.1
<right bubble>: What the school calls "dangerous ability" class is simply a
front. / In reality, it's a category intended to make operatives of kids scouted by the school.
<middle bubble>: It's an operative training section.
<left>: (“Murderer.”)

127.2
("Murderer"…)

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_128
128.3
(…“You don't know anything.”)

128.4
Luka-pyon: “Having an ability he doesn't want…”
Luca-pyon: “You wouldn't understand Natsume's feelings.”

128.5
Hotaru: “I don't know why but…”
<left>: “He hates this school.”

128.6
<right>: (Murderer!)
sfx: whisper…
<left bubble>: ...Natsume-kun wouldn't do something like that.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_129
129.1
Mikan: ...eh?
Perm: Operative, arson, and all that…

129.2
Perm: Obviously...it's all lies!

129.2
Perm: Natsume-kun's not the kind of person to do such things...

129.3
(Don’t…)
(Don't say bad things about Natsume!)

129.4
(Don't say bad things....)
<bubble>: ....let's get out of here.

Gakuen_Alice_Vol03_130
130
small bubbles: whisper

130.1
<top bubble>: Eh?
<bottom bubble>: Anyways...let's think of a way to get out.

130.2
Perm: But...how?
Mikan: {Wa…} I don't know.

130.3
Mikan: They said tonight at two, a smuggling boat was coming. / Then…
Mikan: Natsume…and also ourselves…will be in even more trouble.

130.4
<right bubble>: Don't know how many hours are left, but-
<left bubble>: ...we chased after Natsume this far, we can surely do
something!

130.6
<bubble>: We must think with all our might… / Of a way to escape from here!
