Hameln no Violinist ~Shchelkunchik~ 28

There was a landslide in the mountain pass
The passage will be unavailable for a while
??: I am a peddler!!

I gotta go trade!!
Soldiers: But you can't!

??: Let me paaaass!

28th movement - Shchel's secret

---- 3

??: How was it?

??: Yes. The barrier was spread in a 10 km radius

And the blockade was complete
This way no one'll come in from outside

Even though it's a village with a population of 800...
There isn't...

a single villager in sight...

---- 4

sfx: za-

??: The villagers' mysterious disappearances...
it became a ghost town...
overnight...

It's happening often lately
In these frontier villages...

Here, too, still...

Clari: Dispose of it...

---- 5

In the usual manner. We still can't make this incident public...
??: Commander!!

We discovered!
In the house over there...!

---- 6

??: He's not breathing...
It's as if...
He was suffering in fear

right before dying

This, too...
Still...

Clari: Check the body

There might be a "mark"

---- 7

(nothing)

---- 8

Clari: The devil's "mark"
Mutation into a fairy of darkness

Even here

Damn ghosts...

---- 9

Erase this village as well!
Turn it to cinders
Tell the neighboring villages there was a bushfire!
Store the sample safely into a barrier!

---- 10

Fairies of...

darkness...

---- 11

Shchel: Hah...

??: Today's class was

Really terrible...
sfx: wai wai gaya gaya
Hah... I'm so tired...

sfx: chew chew
pote
kutaa
Gustav: Damn that Horn-Pipe...

---- 12

Having us drag tires for a hundred laps
While reading grimoires
what's his idea...
Horn Pipe: Magic is physical strength!! Go all out!!

Shchel is still dead-ass last, ain't he! (Handwritten: Minus 100 points~!)
sfx: nyah
kon kon
Biyorne: The hell! That's rude, you meatbrain!!

Gustav: Hey, after we eat,
how about we go to the baths? (handwritten: since we're all dripping sweat)

---- 13

Ah, no, I'll go later, so
everyone, just go ahead
(handwritten: I'm done eating...)
Bye

sfx: sosokusa (making a quick getaway)

Gustav: What, he's still bathing alone?
sfx: chew chew
Sisters: Eh?
Gustav: Weird kid.

You see, you know the dormitory baths are huge, right?
Biyorne: Yeah

Still, he's never gone in it together with us
sfx: jiri
Even though it's been almost a month!
Biyorne: Is that so?

---- 14

Gustav: Maybe he doesn't want us to see him naked?
sfx: chew chew
He's pretty shy afterall
Biyorne: That -is- pretty strange

Maybe there's a reason for it?

Gustav: Now that you mention it, during the entrance exam, when Great tried to make him dance naked
he refused to
Shchel: Noooo!!

Biyorne: That's right! And even though he stabbed his leg with scissors
Right afterwards?
He was soon healed!

And even when he was stabbed through the chest by Great
He somehow got better afterwards

---- 15

At the time I thought fairy powder was just that good, but...
It's sorta strange...
Bratsche: Now that you mention it, Piroro hasn't been around...

Biyorne: You don't normally
heal that fast

??: Actually...
sfx: clatter

Lute: I was also wondering
Biyorne: Lute-san...

Lute: He released that giant Fireball, but couldn't squeeze out a wink of it afterwards...
As if he had no magic at all in him...

---- 16

Voiceover: Even putting aside that hellish aura
it's definitely strange...
Lute: That body
must be hiding
some kind of secret

Gustav &: Secret...
sfx: gulp

Great: I see, I get it now
Sisters: Eh? What?

---- 17

Great: It's bothered me for a while
sfx: fu...
Great: Even I, who share a room with him
have never seen him change clothes

When does he get changed...
Sisters: Even in his room...!?

Great: I never saw him do it
Not even in P.E. class

Don't you think... his body is too small?
Ah-- aah! True...

And his face, too, ain't it...
kinda sorta cute?
Sisters: That's true!

Great: In short, don't you think...

---- 18

He could actually be a girl?!
sfx: kwah
bam!!
Everyone: EEH!?

Great: So maybe if he were to take off that cat-eared beanie...
sfx: shiver shiver
su-

smooth and soft long hair would flow down--
sfx: KAH
sparkle sparkle
flow~
Kids: EEH!!

---- 19

Great: And even though she'd bind herself to maintain her disguise she would still grow a pair of
Shchel: Oh, no... they've gotten bigger again...
Great: D-cup breasts...
Lute: why...?
sfx: ooh
doki doki

Great: And also round, well-shaped, cute hips that don't betray her puberty...
Shchel: Aah, mou
So embarrassing...
Gustav: OOH!!
Lute: Er, that's not the case...
sfx: doki doki
kuwah

---- 20

Great voiceover: That she would be hiding... such a secret...
Shchel: Mou, don't look...
Gustav: So -that's- how it was!! (close by: yeah yeah)
sfx: guooou!
Lute: Er, no, that has nothing to do with how his body was healed...

Biyorne: What should I do, I hadn't thought of that...
sfx: ooh
Biyorne: I did think Shchel-kun was cute, but...
Lute: No... that's not what this is about... hey

Bratsche: Aah, to think he would turn out to be a girl... but... I... it's not like...
sfx: doki doki
bluush
Bratsche: It's not like I fell in love with Shchel-kun's gender... Shchel-kun is Shchel-kun, so if I do my best...
Lute: Uh, er, what are you saying...?

---- 21

Gustav: Aah, what should I do, I did
I did think Shchel was awfully cute
Quite up to my tastes... and if he's a girl, I...
I could tell him...
sfx: blush
gogogo
Lute: Weren't you calling him Red Scorpion not too long ago...?

Great: It's possible that... she's alone in the bathhouse right about now...
Gust &: EH!?
sfx: biku

Great: Don't you want to...
discover Shchel's secret...?

---- 22

Gustav: A, awright! Let's go find out for sure!
sfx: sweat
ba-
Gustav: For your information I'm not a lecher!!
sfx: ooh
Biyorne: Tha, that's right! If we don't find out we'll wonder about it forever!
Bratsche: Shchel-kun, I'll do my best!!
Lute: Huh... what the...?

Bratsche: Awriiiight! Let's go, guys!
sfx: dash
Great: I know a peep-point!
Bratsche: Okay!
Gustav: How come you know it?
Lute: Wait, you guys... er... hey

??: It's there
sfx: whisper

---- 23

Great: Don't make a sound! I'm opening the glass window to make it easier to watch
sfx: shhh
rustle
You haven't been peeping at the girl's bath this way, have you?

??: Ooh... that shape is...!!
sfx: fu
??: There's no doubt!

Great: I'm opening it...!!
sfx: doki doki

sfx: Click

Lute: I will learn the secret
of Shchel's body
