Ch. 14: Strategy

Pg. 72
Genessa (text): That appeared to have...!!
>> Although I couldn't quite see due to the flash...!!

Genessa: They all...
>> completely missed their marks---!!?

Genessa: Tsk!!

Pg. 73
Students: Uwah!
>> Wow! What amazing speed!!

Genessa: !?

Genessa: You insolent little!!!

Pg. 74
Students: She dodged them at such close corners and...!!

Students: She...
>> sent them flying back!!

Genessa: This girl...!!!
>> Dove into an attack from me...!?

Pg. 75
Genessa: Ugh...!

Rana: Immediately after enduring an opponent's attack...
>> That is your best opportunity to counterattack ~de arimasu.

Genessa: By getting this close!!
>> Aren't you just begging the other Pandora to attack and damage you to their own content!?

Pg. 76
Bridgette: ...!?

Pg. 77
Teacher: Alright!!
>> That's enough!!
Genessa: ...!

Teacher: That was great match.
>> Rana and Genessa. Your sparring was really wonderful!!

Students: Amazing Rana-san!
>> Isn't Genessa currently rank one in our year?
>> No way... to be able to fight on par with Genessa... You're really something else!!
Rana: No, I'm not really...

Pg. 78
Genessa: That transfer student...!
>> There's some underline meaning during that last instant for sure...!!

Bridgette: ...

Girl sitting: Fufu... it gets more and more interesting... That girl's last move...

Pg. 79
Girl standing: Mmm... there was a definite shift in power...
Girl sitting: She appears to be the same type as you. Don't you find that rather fun? Creo.

Pg. 80
Arthur: By the way...

Arthur: How... are you feeling about that?
>> Like... being with the Untouchable Queen...
Kazuya: !

Kazuya: How? Is there really anything to it? I've been thinking that it's strange how you guys see her.
>> Why are you guys worrying so much at this subject?

Kazuya: More importantly, where did that weird "Untouchable Queen" title originate from?
>> I mean what exactly did Satellizer-sempai do?

P81
Arthur: Because she...
>> couldn't do it...
Kazuya: What?

Arthur: She couldn't...

Arthur: She was absolutely and completely...
>> incompatible with a single Limiter!!

Kazuya: Kah! Kah! Kah!!
Arthur: Hey! You alright, Kazuya? Here, water!

Kazuya: Completely incompatible with Limiters!?
>> What the hell does that mean!?
Arthur: C-Calm down...!

Arthur: Although you may not want to believe this, it's the truth. In Japan, there's a Genetics base established in the east and west. East Genetics is... where IT happened.
>> It made a huge fuss for while two years ago. The event that marked the Untouchable Queen's incompatibility with Limiters is famous with a doubt.
>> We weren't actually enrolled at the time. So, my understanding of the what happened is based off the account of one of the 1st year students at the time...

Kazuya: Exactly...
>> what happened...?

Pg. 82
Arthur: Two years ago... there was a 1st year Limiter named Levon Brooks at East...
Kazuya: ...!

Arthur: As a Limiter, his abilities were also distinguished. Due to his exceeding talent, he was popular among the several of the females so to say.
>> And he... being the hot shot Limiter he was, volunteered himself to be the partner of the partner-less Bridgette L. Satellizer.

Arthur: That's right...

Arthur: Kazuya, this man...
>> was just like you...

Pg. 83
Arthur: And then... Levon Brooks...
>> By the hands of his very own partner, he was...

Arthur: That's where the term "incompatibility" came from.
>> Since then, there hasn't been another Limiter who would approach her...!

Pg. 84
Kazuya: Why...

Kazuya: Why would Satellizer-sempai do such a thing!?
>> What's the reason...!?

Arthur: I don't know any particular reason...
>> since I wasn't a student here at the time.

Arthur: What I do know is that event resulted in Satellizer being never able to return to East.
>> As an external measure of that event, she was put on a one year probation.
>> Because of that, Satellizer who should be in her 3rd year stayed as a 2nd year student.

Kazuya (text): Satellizer-sempai is...?
>> incompatible with Limiters...?

Pg. 85
Arthur: She fled to the West because of her past history, but...
>> Even here, numerous problems arise when she makes "contact"

Arthur: A 2nd Limiter who accidently touched her was beaten to a pulp...
>> And the same happened to her fellow Pandoras. For example, remember the Miyabi-sempai incident? That's why everyone tries to the avoid her...

Kazuya (text): That kind of thing is...

Kazuya: But... with all these incidents popping up...
>> Why not expel her? ...how can she still return to being a Pandora...?
Arthur: It's rumored that it's all due to the interference from her family, L. Corporation's influence...
Kazuya (text): ...!

Kazuya: L... Corporation...?
Arthur: ...

Pg. 86
Arthur: Within the upper ranks of the military organization Genetics, another organization exists. "The Chevalier"
>> The two keep a relatively close relationship, but... they are both apart of the worldwide military conglomerate, L. Corporation.

Arthur: And the family of nobles that manages that company is the renowned Bridgette L. Satellizer's family.
>> Satellizer is a daughter from that family of nobles.

Arthur: She possesses an amazing prowess as a Pandora herself, but combined with the authority from her background and...
>> Besides that, her strength and rough temperament, those two factors alone would be enough to instill fear into anyone, know what I'm saying?

Arthur: For you to become...
>> the Limiter of such a person...
Kazuya: ...

Pg. 87
Arthur: I know you think I'm being persistent, but take my advice...
>> It would be wise to rethink your relationship with her once more.

Rana: Kazuya-san!
Kazuya: !
>> Rana-san...?
Rana: Is your body all healed up now ~de arimasuka?

Pg. 88
Kazuya: Thanks to you, I'm all healthy again. I heard from Hiiragi-san that Rana-san transferred here.
Rana: Ah, uh... I wasn't really trying to hide it or anything ~de arimasu...

Kazuya: The uniform really suits you well.
Rana: Really? That's good ~de arimasu.
>> During battle and training, we're forced to shift into "Boruto Tekusuchaa," but right now it's just a normal uniform ~de arimasu!

Rana: I'm also really fascinated by this design ~de arimasu.
Kazuya: That's good.

Rana: No matter what kind of design, The "Tears of Kunlun" is able to conform with it.
>> The skill of Genetics is really wonderful ~de arimasu.
Arthur: ...

Arthur: Oh yeah! I forgot I had some business with Genessa-sempai.

Pg. 89
Kazuya: ?
Arthur: Alright, I'll be leaving now. Please spend valuable time together.

Arthur: Well, see you guys later~
Rana: Bye ~de arimasu

Kazuya (text): Damn that Arthur...
>> What the hell does he mean, "valuable time together"...

Kazuya: !

Kazuya: B-By the way, Rana-san... I wasn't aware that you were a grade above me...
>> Please excuse that. From now, I'll be correcting myself using "-sempai"
Rana: ?

Pg. 90
Rana: That just won't do ~de arimasu!! Referring to me as plainly "Rana" will suffice ~de arimasu!!
Aoi: H-However... to refer to a sempai as...

Rana: NO! You WILL refer to me as such ~de arimasu!!

Kazuya: Then... Rana-san...

Rana: I feel that "-san" is also unnecessary ~de arimasu. Let's remove that too!
>> Kazuya-san, you will be refer to me in a more familiar fashion! Just having me using honorifics will be just fine ~de arimasu!
>>　As for your honorifics... even should another sempai be present, you are not allowed...
>> Kazuya-san is a very special person to me, so it is nothing ~de arimasu.
Kazuya (text): Special... why's that?

Rana: C'mon now, Kazuya-san!
>> Now that we've removed that unfamiliar "-san," call me just "Rana" ~de arimasu!

Kazuya (text right to left): Eh... / U-Umm...

Rana: C'mon!!

Pg. 91
Kazuya: T-Then... Rana...?
>> Why does it... feel like I can't go against her...
Rana: It has a very fine ring to it ~de arimasu! In this case, would it be better if I refer to you as "Kazuya-kun" ~de arimashouka?
Kazuya: Y-Yes... I don't really mind...

Both: !

Kazuya: Ah!

Kazuya: Satellizer-sempai!?
Bridgette: ...

Pg. 92
Rana: Why hello Satellizer-san~ Are you having lunch ~de arimasuka?
>> I hope you don't mind this time ~de arimasu
Kazuya: ...!

Bridgette: !
Rana: If my lovey-dovey relationship with Kazuya-kun is awkward for you, it's perfectly fine if you changed seats ~de arimasu
Kazuya: R-Rana... what do you mean "lovey-dovey"...!?
Rana: My~ Kazuya-kun, no need to hide it ~de arimasu!

Bridgette: Ra... na...?

Pg. 93
Bridgette: Don't you mean... "Rana-sempai"?
Kazuya: N-No, Satellizer-sempai... there's...!!

Rana: That is an obvious reflection of the growing relationship between the two of us ~de arimasu.
Kazuya: What relationship...?
Rana: Sempai... kouhai... why must we use those words ~de arimasuka?

Bridgette: Kazuya... accompany me to the rooftop for a moment.

Rana: But, isn't Kazuya-kun still having lunch ~de arimasu?

Kazuya (text): N-No... I'm...

Pg. 94
Bridgette: I have something important to discuss.
>> Kazuya

Kazuya: Yes, I'll go right now! Sempai...!!
Rana: Ah...

Kazuya: Sorry! Rana-sa... Rana!!
>> We'll have lunch next time!!

Rana: ...

Rana: It can't be helped ~de arimasu...
>> Well, at least there's still time afterwards ~de arimasu.

???: Is this seat empty?
Rana: Ah, yes.

Atia: You're the one that transferred in as a 2nd year student, right?
Rana: Ah, yes. My name is Rana Linchen ~de arimasu.

Atia: My name is Atia Simmons. A 3rd year student.
Rana: So, that'd mean you're my sempai ~de arimasuka? I hope we get along from here onwards ~de arimasu~

Atia: By way, that was terrible, huh?
>> That 1st year boy earlier.
Rana: Huh?

Pg. 96
Atia: Kazuya Aoi, was it? That boy, didn't he look like a slave?
>> I wonder if he's being pinned down by his weakness... how pathetic...
>> It feels like he's just her pet, huh...

Atia: And of all things, to be dragged on a leash by such an ill-natured person...
>> They didn't even do a baptism, proof of a pairing. She's going so far just to push him around...
>> If I were him, I could never see her as being my partner.

Rana: What are... you talking about ~de arimasuka?

Atia: Oh no~ I started chatting away on something unnecessary again.
>> Well, in fact I've only heard it someone else~
>> So, I pity that his situation a little...

Rana: I'd like to hear some more about...

Rana: this topic...

Pg. 97
Kazuya: Satellizer-sempai...
>> The important matter was...?

Bridgette: From now on...
>> Just Stella will... be fine...
Kazuya: Huh?

Kazuya: B-But... how could I do that!? Aren't you my sempai?
>> To refer to you so casually is!

Bridgette: What about her...! You did it for her...!

Pg. 98
Bridgette: From now on referring to me as Stella will be fine!!
>> No, you will refer to as that!!
Kazuya: !

Kazuya: S-
>> Sempai...

Bridgette: I said...
>> I'd treat you as my partner, right...

Bridgette: So, wouldn't it be b-better to use more easygoing names...
>> when we refer to each other...?

Kazuya: S-
>> Sempai...?

Bridgette: That aside... I bought some hamburgers. Would you like to eat them together?
Kazuya: You really like them, huh...
(out of bubble text)>> Hamburgers...

Pg. 99
Thoughts: The two of them have an odd relationship...

Thoughts: I won't go into specifics, but... for some reason, they didn't the baptism...
>> Despite that, Kazuya-kun thinks of Satellizer-sempai as his partner.

Thoughts: She's merely using him like a toy! Just because her face is bit above average.
(same bubble new paragraph)>> She seduced the innocent Kazuya Aoi!!

Pg. 100
Thoughts: Aoi is special. He is able to use "Freezing" even without a baptism.
(same bubble)>> So, she's just using him for his abilities without any real intention of being his partner, you see.
(new bubble)>> There are people who made contracts with multiple Limiters, but this and that are completely different things.
(same bubble)>> I mean those two aren't even tied to each other by any sort of mark or sacrifice!

Thoughts: She's only keeping him around to use his abilities. That has to be it!
>> Also, I heard she's out looking for a new Limiter to switch to!

Rana: Your Kunlun is... surprisingly black and corrupted ~de arimasu...
>> Bridgette L. Satellizer.

Pg. 101
Fan-service

Pg. 102
Bridgette (text): ...!?

Rana: Why so surprised ~de arimasuka?
>> Bridgette L. Satellizer.
