[Alyosha!]

p2/3

p4
miru: Ei!
katie: Here!

p5
miru: Awww, and it was my trump card too~~~
katie: I keep telling you, you have to think about what cards your opponent has left! (small): It's the Daihinmin common sense
tl note: Daihinmin is the name of the Japanese card game they’re playing

left: ♣For Alyosha, her very first trip inside Japan...

p1
Ojou-sama... How about some tea to lift your spirits

p2
Something sweet
Thank you

p3
The school is on a summer break, so our Japanese Culture Research Club has decided to acquire the experience of a rural lifestyle

p4
Our destination is in the Mie prefecture, the ancestral home of Miru-chan's grandfather

p5
Alyosha-san still had her job to take care of, so she was allowed to go only as Miru-chan's personal maid
head maid: Master has given his permission... However!
alyosha: taciturn

p6
ryuu: I'm glad
nb: Although I'm surprised by the maid outfit...

Alyosha!
Re:014 Everyone's Feelings
The depths of the Japanese culture are yet to be fully discovered...!!
Volume 1 of the comic ★★Now on sale to great reception!!★★
Kondou Rururu

p1
Here, the end

p2
alyosha: Ojou-sama... Your 25th loss in a row. Here, something sweet.
miru nb: Aaaaah

p3
A pair of queens...

p4
box: Last time, when Alyosha and Ryuunosuke were at the festival, Katie was waiting for a certain report
nb: Torururu...
nb: Beep
Hello

p5
Yeah, I'm receiving it now
I'm about to open it, hold on just a second

p6
nb: During the incident at the bath the other day, Katie was able to get her hands on the assassin's hair and Alyosha's saliva. She asked the FBI headquarters to conduct a DNA test on these samples and compare them against previous assassination cases.
katie: OK, I got it!

5
p1

p2
Wait! What the hell? I only got data for one person
Didn't I send you two samples!?

p3
Yes, and like I said, the two samples were a perfect match!
//In any case, until now no one could get a single clue as to the person thought to be Kortik, and you got two at the same time...
//That's our Agent Lindberg! You did it!!

p4
The DNA samples of those two matched!? What are they talking about?
That sort of thing is impossible even for siblings! The only possibility is identical twins...

p5
But Alyosha and that assassin are of a completely different age... They can't be twins...
Hah!
"An identical twin of a different age"!! In other words, that girl is Alyosha's...

6
p1
Clone!! (small): ...She does resemble her, too!

p2
I can't think of any other possibility... But this means...

p3
...This is yours, Miru
I don't really want it

p4

7
p1
box: 4 hours 45 minutes on the Shinkansen, 30 minutes on a bus, and 40 minutes on foot have passed...
katie: Hey, Miru, how much longer?
katie: Haa x2
miru: Just a little farther

p2
katie: Alyosha, you look pretty composed in that hot uniform, even though you're from a cold country
katie: Haa x2
nb: Is it velvet?

p3
Alyosha used to be the No. 1 assassin of the Republic of Estolakia!
In order to succeed in her missions, she has undergone training to be able to withstand the conditions in various countries of the world, so this much heat was of no consequence to her!

8
p1
alyosha: Ojou-sama, would you like a cold beverage?
miru: No, I'm fine
katie: I want some! Gimme

p2
sfx: close tight
katie: Why are you putting it away?

p3
This really is in the middle of nowhere

p4
I can't believe they built a house here

p5
That's right. After all, there is---
Haa x2

p6
A hidden ninja village
Around here!

8
p1
Ninja
Ninja
Ahhh, ninja ♥

p2
Didn't you know? There was a ninja school near here, they would all get trained and receive their ninja initiation certificates!
//Otherwise, who would come live in the middle of nowhere of their own free will!?

p3
nb: Hohoho ♥
This is sure to lift up my spirits, and I will join the ninja too ♥

p4

p5
alyosha: A snare
katie: Eh?

10
p1

p2
Snare
A trap that suspends its prey in midair once it sets off the trigger

p3
Looks like I've caught a big one! (small): Wahahaha

11
p1
Hmm?

p2
Who's this foreigner dressed in uncool clothes?
nb: I suppose I should butcher her anyway...
katie: Kyaaaaa!!

p3
miru: Hikoichi-san!
hiko: Miru-ojousama

p4

p5
It appears Kortik No. 2 and company have gone into this forest

12
p1
Pursue them and kill No. 2 for sure, but also the people with her

p2
Make me proud
//Huhu...

p3

13
p1
Everyone, good job reaching such a remote place

p2
miru: This is Momochi Hikoichi-san and Shizuka-san
//miru: They take care of this house
ryuu: Thanks for having us here

p3
So, what were you trying to pull with that trap!?

p4
hiko: That was set against deer who spoil the crops, uncool young lady
katie: Quit saying "uncool"!

p5
What exactly is uncool about me!? Well, what do I expect in the countryside!? Right!? Everyone!!

p6

14
p1
High school students in Ameria normally dress like this!
nb: Actually, she rather likes it
It's Japan that's strange. Even if they're in high school, they wear flashy makeup and flashy clothes!

p2
But this is Japan
Cute is better here

p3
A maid outfit over there -- PASS
You -- FAIL

p4
miru: It's alright, it's alright, Katie-chan, these clothes match you well!
katie: Miru... That doesn't support me at all

p5
ryuu: Anyway, this house is really old, isn't it?
hiko: It was built 250 years ago

15
p1
ryuu: We came here because we're hoping to experience rural life
hiko: Miru-ojousama has informed us

p2
ryuu: So if there are any chores we can help with, we'll be happy to
hiko: Don't worry, we're enough for the job

p3
hiko: There's no electricity, gas, or water service here. You should try to live a normal life in these conditions, and get the taste of that impairment
ryuu: Huuuh

p4
Alosa-san, I've heard about you directly from our Master

p5
I hear you're a rather interesting girl! You alone will help us out, as a servant of the Nayuki household

16
p1
nb: This way
Uh...

p2
Even though Alyosha-chan should be together with us...
But the head main Rokuten-san will probably check with Hikoichi-san, so I guess it's impossible...

p3
katie: Wait a minute, Miru! Is it really true that there's no electricity here!?
miru: Yes

p4
katie: Then what about TV!?
miru: There isn't any--- (small): And has never been

p5
katie: Then what about "SoreMachi" broadcast today at 2:15 am!?
*Anime
miru: You can't watch it
ryuu: Besides, the broadcast time is different between Kantou and Kinki
tl note: Kantou = region where Tokyo is in. Kinki (aka Kansai) = region where the Mie prefecture is in.

17
p1
ryuu: How about 1seg?
nb: Huh
katie: That's it! There's that!!
miru: Cell phone signal doesn't reach here

p2
ryuu: But cell phone signal and 1seg signal are different
sfx: tap tap etc
miru: Heeeh--- Really

p3
ryuu: It didn't seem to work...
katie: sob x3
miru: Yeah

p4
When I was little, I was a bit scared of this house (small): It's really dark at night...

p5
There's also a storage room you must not enter...
A secret staircase to the second floor...
A strange hole behind a hanging scroll...

18
p1
miru: And if you walk in the corridor, there's an awesome creaking sound
ryuu: That means...
tl note: Look up “nightingale floor” on wiki

p2
So isn't this a ninja mansion?

p3
Ninja mansion?

p4

p5
Alyosha was remembering about what happened before their departure...

19
p1
I have some bad news

p2
The corpse of the assassin we met in the bath house has been found

p3
That woman was a professional hired by Karamazov for money, and they killed her to seal her lips

p4
You and I are one thing, but Miru too saw the Karamazov people back then
Most likely, they will not stop trying to kill Miru because of that

p5
katie: Watch out
nb: But I doubt they'll do something to make themselves stand out, like going to the countryside

p6
Alyosha knew the brutality of Karamazov that she used to belong to very well
box: In order to keep Miru safe, in order to become a normal high school girl, she must annihilate Karamazov---

20
p1
That's what Alyosha was thinking

p2
Oh, I see

p3
Alosa-san, it seems you have some visitors coming
They have the same smell of blood that you do

p4
...You smell the same

p5
It seems that Master has picked up someone unbelievable
...Just who are you?

21
p1/2

p3
ryuu: Thank you for the meal
katie: No taste?

p4
miru: I wonder where Alyosha-chan is (small): I haven't seen her at all
katie: Servants have their own rules, don't they?

p5
More importantly, let's go explore the estate

p6
katie: "Ninja mansion", it's a "ninja mansion"!
nb: I'll make up for the fact that I can't watch "SoreMachi" with ninjas
sfx: creak creak etc

p7
Ninja scrolls, red masks, giant kite flying through the sky

p8
katie: Well, if I got the ninja certificate, I'd be able to use all of that too!
ryuu nb: Are those spears?
miru: No idea

22
p1

p2
sfx: slam

p3
miru: Huh, where's Katie-chan?
ryuu: I wonder if she got overexcited and went on ahead?

p4
Ryu... Ryuunosuke-kun, I need to go to the bathroom

p5
miru: Please wait for me (small): I'm scared
ryuu: Yes, I got it

p6
To think that Katie-san would be so enthralled with ninjas...
But there aren't any ninjas in modern Japan

23
p1
Amerians really love their ninjas
sfx: creak x3

p2
sfx: creak x3
Alyosha-san?

p3
Who?

p4

p5
Eh?

24
p1
snap

p2

p3
knob turn

p4
Thanks for waiting ♪
What's wrong, Ryuunosuke-kun?

p5
ryuu: Ni... Ninja came out
miru: Come on, Ryuunosuke-kun, don't tease me (small): Ahaha

25
p1
What was that? (small): Shit

p2/3/4/5

p6
Your tiny gun won't work against an old woman's tatami gaeshi
tl note: Tatami gaeshi = a ninjutsu technique that involves flipping a tatami mat to block incoming projectiles

26

27
p1
Non-lethal... Splendid!

p2
Just before---

p3
I didn't think you were an ordinary person from your manner and from the air about you, but going this far...

p4
Are you going to kill me?
...I don't sense a killing intent

p5
hiko: Hmm... What's your purpose? Are you after Master's life? Or Nayuki family's assets?
alyosha: No

p6
I have my responsibility to protect Miru

p7

28
p1
You don't seem to be lying. Then, you're same as us
We're a clan that has done various things to protect the Nayuki family for generations

p2
I won't ask about your lineage
Come, we'll assist you

p3
hiko: ---And now, what are we going to do with this girl?
alyosha: Give her to Katie...

p4/5
She failed...
sfx: beep

p6
Shuuuu...

p7
...This is bad, she's going to explode
What!?

p8

29
p1
It was too much to bear for the substandard 302
//Nothing will come of it like this... I'll retreat for today
We'll meet again, Kortik No. 2 ♥

p2/3/4

p5
This house has a network of underground passages and escape routes laid out, so they can also serve as a shelter! (small): We were saved thanks to Alosa-san

p6
That was some awesome noise, I wonder what caused it?

30
p1
Katie-san!?

p2
Are you alright!?
That's a ninja estate for you, you can't underestimate it // Uhuhuhu
Did a ninja do this to you!? I saw a ninja here!
Seriously? You're so lucky, Ryuunosuke... I'm sure good things await you ♥
Katie-san, I really saw a ninja! (small): Even though I made fun of you for it
Huhu, it's alright, Ryuunosuke ♥

p3
nb: The next day, Katie and Ryuunosuke safely received their ninja certificates
ryuu nb: Somehow, there are only kids here...
katie nb: I'll become a famous ninja in the future!

p4
miru: Alyosha-chan, what's that?
alyosha: The Akafuku mochi were good
tl note: Specialty product of the Mie prefecture
box: Alyosha too received a real ninja mastery certificate from Hikoichi-san

right: ♣Alyosha is "No. 2"!? The new "Kortik" is terrifying...

Alyosha! ⑭/END>>>>
