あの。。。大丈夫か！？
Umm… Are you ok!?

その日はー
That day-

何故か学校で迷い子になり
For some reason, I was lost in the school

正面玄関があに。。。？
The main entrance is gone…?

下半身の無い女子にものすごいスピードでと追いかけられ
I was chased at incredibly high speeds by girl with no lower body

凄い形相のババに追いかけられ
I was chased by an old lady in amazing shape

ばーさん早い！？
Fast for a granny!

ばかでかいハサミ持った女に追いかけられ
I was chased by a woman holding a pair of stupidly large scissors.

何で追いかけてくるんだよ
Why do they keep chasing me!

も。。。ダメだ。。。
Can’t… go on…

色んなわけのわからないモノに追い回され
I’m being chased by a variety of inexplicable things

また何か来た。。。
Something else is coming…

もう走れん
I can’t run anymore…

人生最悪のこの理解不能なそのひ
This unfathomable day is the worst of my life.

大丈夫ですか？
Are you ok?

[075]
どこか苦しいんですか？
Are you hurt somewhere?

え。。。あ？
Uh… huh?

立てますか？
Can you stand?

下半身トイレの少女に。。。
I fell in love

恋をした
With a girl who’s half toilet.

逢魔が時僕と君とアレとアレ
In the witching hour, you and me and that and that.

[076]
え。。。？死んだって。。。俺。。。が？
What? You said I’m… dead?

はい。。。自覚なくここへ来る方は少なくありません。。。。驚かれるのも無理ないと思います
Yes… It’s not unusual for people to come here without realizing it… You’ve every right to be surprised.

ここは成仏出来なかった生徒が集まる学校の
This is a school where the spirits of students who couldn’t pass on gather, the “other side”.

でもー！？
What!?

死。。。死って。。。死！！？
De… Dead… DEAD!!?

あああ。。。あの　そんな怖がるなくても大丈夫ですから！！
Ummm… Um, it’s… There’s no need to be afraid!!

裏といっても普通の学校と変わらず皆さん生き生きしてらして
You said “other side”, but it seems like everyone here is livey-livey (?) like a normal school-

友達もたくさん出来ると思います！！
I think you should be able to make lots of friends!

友。。。達？
Fri…ends?

は。。。はい
Ye… Yes.

見かけによらず小心な方なのね。。。
He doesn’t look it, but he’s sure a coward…

友達かー　友達ねー
Friends, huh? Friends…

友達いなかったのかしら。。。
Maybe he didn’t have friends…

あっそこの４組が教室です
Ah, that’s class 4’s homeroom.

ま俺には必要ないと言えばないけど今後ここで過ごすなら
Well, can’t say I really need them, but if I’m going to spend some time here

一人や二人ぐらいは友達になってやってもー
I may as well make one or two friends-

友。。。
Frien…

色々無理
It’s all hopeless

色々ですか！？
All!?

そ。。。そんな！？さっきはあんなに喜ぶ。。。いえ楽しみにされていたじゃな。。。
Ho… How can you!? You were so happy before, excited even…

皆さん見ためは暗めですが実はとても優しくていい方ばかりなんで
Everyone might have blank stares, but there’s nothing but kind souls among them.

こおーら！！！
HEY YOU!!!

[077]
委員長授業が始まるっつーのに何男とイチャついてんだ
Chairman, classes have started, you know. O-h, messing around with a boy, I see.

つーかそいつだれ？
So who’s this fellow?

口さけ先生！！
Kuchisake-sensei!!

あー新入生か　つまんねの
Ah, a new student.　(how boring)

ち違います彼は新入生です！！
No! I mean, he’s a new student!!

また変なのが。。。
Another weird one…

口さけ先生。。。？
Kuchisake-sensei…?

ふーん
Hmm

な。。。何だ？
What?
メンチきり？
Why is she staring at me?

ん。。。？んんー新入生ね。。。
Mmm…Hmmm… A new student, huh…

なっ！！？
Wha!!?

先生！？
Sensei!?

先生。。。あのそんな乱暴は。。。
Sensei… um, you’re getting violent…

何なんだこの教師は！！？
What’s with this teacher!!?

何もよくねーよ！！
Whatever it is, it’s not good!
まいっか！んじゃあ新入生の紹介するか
Well, whatever. Ok, new student, let’s introduce you to the class.

はーい
Listen up.

望月楓
Michizuki Kaede

皆ちょっと注目
Everyone please give their attention-

新しい仲間が増えたので皆適当に仲良くするように
We’ve added a new classmate, so please try to get along with him.

重い。。。
This atmosphere…

ほら自己紹介しろっつーの
Hey, introduce yourself.

くえ
Gah

せ。。。先生。。。
Se…Sensei…

あー。。。えっと。。。望月楓。。。か
Uh-… Erm, I’m Michizuki Ka

[078]
もっと
Come on!

ィラっとくるなー
Don’t piss me off. (?)

せ先生！！
Se- Sensei!!

ハキハキしゃべらんか！！
Say it with more feeling!!

じゃあ昨夜の続きをーあ？どこからだっけ？
So, continuing from last evening- Where were we again?

だ大丈夫ですか？
Are you all right?

一体今日という日はどうしてしまったんだ
What the heck did I do today?

変なのに追いまわれ追い回されいつの間にか死んでるしあげく暴力教室にこんな目に合わされ
It was so weird. I was chased around and somewhere in there I died… And finally I ended up here in this violent classroom.

楓。。。くん
Kaede…kun.

そのうえ。。。
But more than that…

楓くんって呼んでいいかしら？
Can I call you Kaede-kun?

動悸が激しい
My heart is pounding.

呼んでるケド
You’re already saying it…

私　学級委員の花子です分からない事があったら何でも聞いてくださいね！！
I’m Hanako, a member of the class committee. If there’s anything you don’t understand please ask me!!

教科書半分どうぞ
Here, share my textbook.

花子。。。
Hanako…

あ。。。ありがと。。。
Th…Thanks.

あの。。。さ君。。。いや
Hey… are you… I mean,

はい？
Yes?

花子さんも幽霊なのか？
Are you a ghost too, Hanako-san?

いえ。。。私は。。。
No… I’m…

花子さんは幽霊じゃなく妖怪よ
Hanako-san isn’t a ghost. She’s a yokai.

クラスの３割は学校に住んでる妖怪なの
A third of the class are yokai who live in the school.

口さけ先生は外からボランティアで先生しに来てくれてるのよ
Kuchisake sensei came here from the outside world to volunteer as a teacher.

。。。へ
…Uh-

あくしゅ
Shake

私大原テメ子よろしくね！
I’m Ohara Temeko. Nice ta meetcha!

なんだ結構普通なやつもいる。。。
So there are relatively normal ones here too…

？

びく
shock

無理。。。絶対無理だ。。。
It’s hopeless… completely hopeless…

どうしたの？
What’s wrong?

つーか！！お前さっき廊下で俺を追いかけ回したやつだろ！！
Whaddya mean, what’s wrong!! You’re the chick who was chasing me through the corridor earlier, aren’t you!!

えー。。。ああうんそうそう
Hmm… Oh yeah, that’s right.

軽いな！！？オイ！！
You’re pretty flippant about it!! Hey!!

[079]
何追いかけて来るんだよ怖いだろ！！
I’m coming to chase you!! Aren’t you scared!!

えーと
Uhh…

何となく？その場のノリで？
What? By that face?

ノリ！！？
Face!!?

あのテメ子さんに悪気はないんです何ていうか習性が。。。
Um, Temeko san didn’t mean any harm. Let’s just say it’s one of her traits…

習性？
A trait?

追いかけたくなる本能があって。。。
Sometimes she just has the instinct to chase things…

かしまさん！！
Kashima-san!!

切っちゃダメ？
Can’t cut him?

切っちゃダメです！！！
No, you can’t cut him!!!

す。。。すみません！！悪気はないんですちょっと皆お茶目なだけで。。。
I… I’m sorry!! She means no harm. Everyone’s just a little mischievious…

＊苦しい言い訳
(lame excuse)

お。。。お茶目。。？
M-Mischievious?

皆さん少しシャイでナイーブですが根はとても優しくていい方ばかりですから！！
Everyone’s a little shy and naïve, but they’re all kind and good people at heart!!

花子さん。。。
Hanako-san…

びしゃ
splash

け。。。決して悪気は。。。
She… She certainly didn’t mean any harm…

わ。。。わるぎ。。。？
Any harm…?

い。。。いくら悪気がないからって先生は見て見ぬふりなのかよ！！
You can say they mean no harm as many times as you want, but do you think the teacher will just turn a blind eye!?

何かだるいので自習
Feeling a little sluggish, so STUDY HALL

い。。。いつの間に
So… Sometimes.

体育
P.E.

はいはいはーい皆　集合
Okay, Okay!! Gather around, everyone!

[080]
あのやたらテンション高い耳とかしっぽとか生えた人は。。。？
And that insanely perky person with the ears and tail is…?

もう何があっても驚かん。。。
Nothing can surprise me anymore…

ほらそこーじゃあじゃあしなーい！！１００メートル計るよ
Hey, over there! Don’t slug around!! We’re timing the 100 meter!

臨時教師の佐々木先生です
That’s the temporary teacher, Sasaki-sensei.

はい君！！おしゃべりしてないで並んで！！タイム計るよ
Hey, you!! Quit blabbing and line up! Line up, we’re taking times!

お俺も！？
M-Me too!?

それでは行くよ位置について
All right, here we go. On your marks-

マジかよ。。。
Seriously…

クラウチングスタート
Crouching start

よーい
Get set…

プピュイイイ
Fweeeeee!

ズザー
whoosh

ピストル持ってて何で笛ふくんだよ！？
You have a pistol, so why’d you blow the whistle!?

え。。。だって
Huh… Because…

これ音大きくて怖いし。。。
This is loud and scary…

だったら持つな！！まぎらわしい！！
So don’t carry it!! It’s misleading!!

１００キロババアとジャンピングじじい
The 100-kilometer Granny and Jumping Geezer

一秒
One second.

今日は調子が悪いかの。。。
Not in top form today…

クラスの皆意外と早いからビックリした？でもそんなに落ちこむ事ないよ
Were you surprised at how fast everyone in the class is? You shouldn’t be too depressed about it, though.

３秒
(3 seconds)

そういう問題じゃない
That’s not the problem.

ちなみに花子さんは
Although Hanako-san

例外なの
Is an exception

がしゃん
CRASH!

びだん
BAM!

花子さん！？
Hanako-san!?

いたた。。。
Oww…

私体育は苦手でして。。。あれ？どうかしました？
I’m not very good at P.E… Hm? Is something the matter?

ロリコン。。。？
A Lolicon…?

何でも。。。ない。。。です
It’s… nothing…

[081]
テスト
A test

み。。。皆さん。。。
Um, everyone…

カニング？
Are they all cheating?

ロッカー
Lockers

休み時間
Between classes

無理。。。こんな所絶対なじめるわけない。。。
No way… There’s absolutely no way I’ll ever get used to this…

何かヒソヒソしてるし
They’re whispering something…

楓くん。。。
Kaede-kun…

くそっ結局どこに行っても俺は。。。
Shit… In the end, no matter where I go…

よかったらこれ。。。食べませんか？
If you want… Won’t you have some of this?

弁。。。当？
A lunchbox?

私たち一応ものは食べれるので
Every once in a while we can eat something, so…

料理作るのは好きなんですが自分で食べると味気なくって
I like cooking, but somehow it doesn’t taste good if I eat my own food…

もし迷惑じゃなければ
If I’m not being too presumptious-

ご。。。ごめんなさい！！何か嫌いなものでも
I-I’m sorry!! If there’s something you don’t like-

あっ！！衛生面は大丈夫ですから！！手はちゃんと洗―
Oh! It’s perfectly sanitary! I made sure to wash my hands-

弁当ひとつでそんな
Just for one lunch…

いや違う
No, that’s not it.

他人にこんな接したの生まれて初めてだったから
This is the first time I’ve ever connected to another person like this…

何日もゆっくりかみしめるよ
I’ll enjoy it slowly over several days!

一応なま物なので早く食べてくださいね。。。
It’s mostly uncooked things, so you should eat it quickly…

＊二口さん
(*Niguchi-san) (TN: lit. two-mouth)

[082]
ただいまーと
I’m back-

楓くんおちついて下さ。。。
Kaede-kun, please calm down!

ガタン
Gatan!

弁当吐け
Spit up my lunch!

出せ！
Out with it!!

戻せ
Give it back!

お？先生が戻らない間に随分打ち解けたみたいだなー
Oh? Looks like he really opened up while I was gone-

せ。。。先生一体今までどこへ。。。
Se- Sensei, where were you all this time…

７月１３日（金）（？）
July 13th (Friday)

ふむ。。。
Hmm...

道徳
Blackboard: Ethics

喧嘩の原因は良く分かった
I understand the reasons behind the fight.

しかし暴力はいかんな暴力は
But violence is wrong.

先生のは愛のムチ
A teacher’s is tough love.

お前が言うな！！
You’ve got no right to say that!!

ボコられた
Below panel: He got beat up

しかし皆も悪ふざけが過ぎた様だが
Still, even though it might seem everyone went overboard with the pranks-

望月ももう少し心を開いて打ち解けてみたら
If you tried opening up a little more, Michizuki-

何だよ。。。結局俺が悪かったのかよ！！？
What is this… So in the end it’s my fault!!?

楓くん。。。
Kaede-kun…

いつも。。。いつだってそうだ！！俺が。。。俺にー
Always… no matter what it’s the same! I’m always… People always-

友達が今まで一人も出来なかったからってどういつもこいつもバカにしやがって
Up to now I’ve never even made a single friend, so everybody makes a fool of me-

コミュニケーションがちょっと苦手なだけだ！！！
I’m just a little weak at communication is all!!

ややっぱり友達いなかったね。。。
So… He didn’t have any friends after all…

寂しさのあまりちょっと悪になってみたものの一人だから特に悪い事出来ねーし！！
I tried becoming a punk because I was so lonely, but by myself I couldn’t even manage anything particularly bad!!

チキン野郎
Overpanel: Chicken

どーせピアスもウソピアスですよ！！
Even my piercings are fake!!

何しても中途半端で。。。こんな死んでからもこんな目に合うなら俺なんかー
No matter what I do it’s half-assed… If I’m still suffering through things like this now I’m dead, I-

花子。。。さん？
Hanako…san?

私じゃ友達になれませんか？
Won’t you… be my friend?

ここに迷われた方は脅えて私の手を振り払う方もたくさんいます
Many who wander here are frightened and shake off my hand.

でも楓くんは私を信じて私の手をにぎってくれましたよね？
But you, Kaede-kun, believed in me and held on to it tight, didn’t you?

それにお弁当。。。あんなに喜んで受け取ってくれて私とても嬉しかったです！
And then the lunch… I was so pleased you were that happy to take it!

[083]
ごめんね。。。
I’m sorry…

私望月くんと仲良くなりたくてつい。。。
I just wanted to make friends with Michizuki-kun…

色々怖い思いさせてごめんなさい
I’m sorry I scared you.

私も
Me too…

わたしも
Me too…

皆さん。。。
Everyone..

新入生がうれしくて
I’m glad we have a new student.

ついはしゃいじゃって。。。
I was just shy…

好きです
I love you.

むしゃくしゃしてて。。。
I was in a bad mood…

とにかく血が見たくて。。。
I just wanted to see some blood…

えーと
Umm…

皆。。。
Everyone…

何。。。だよ急に優しくなって。。。
What’s with being nice all of the sudden…

ずるいだろ。。。
You’re just being sneaky…

今日から皆楓くんの友達ですね！！
From now on we’re all your friends, Kaede-kun!!

一件落着だな！！
It’s settled, then!!

良しきれいにまとまった所で
All right, now that’s neatly resolved,

先生から発表です
Your teacher has an announcement.

望月くんは今日で転校する事になりました
Today, Michizuki-kun will be transferring out of this school.

今日でお別れですよ
This is good-bye.

全然きれいにまとまってねえ！？何だソレ！？
Then nothing’s neatly resolved at all !! What the heck!?

やかましい
Don’t shout.

先生！！！
Sensei!!!

ムチャクチャですよ！！
That’s reckless!

最近望月に会った時妙な違和感がしたんだで
When I met Michizuki just a short time ago, something felt out of place.

転校だ何てそんな。。。ここは成仏しない限りでられないはずです！
What do you mean by transferring…? Short of passing on, there shouldn’t be any way to leave this place!!

さっき外へ出て調べたら望月の体が仮死状態で転がってたワケだ
When I went out to investigate, Michizuki’s body was lying in a state of apparent death.

そんワケでとりあえずぐちゅうっと心肺蘇生してきました
And so anyway, I went and THWACK!- performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

俺の体に何したんだよ！！？
What did you do to my body!!?

俺は。。。表には帰らない！！帰っても何も残ってないんだ！！
I… I won’t go back to the outside!! Even if I went home, there’s nothing left for me there!!

皆ともやっと分かり合えて。。。それに。。。それに！！
I’ve finally begun to understand everyone, and… and besides!!

[084]
花子さんと手を繋がいだだけで俺は何もしていない！！！
All I’ve done with Hanako-san so far is hold her hand!!!

弁当もまだ食べていないし！！
I haven’t even eaten the lunch she made!!

え！？何をする気だったのかしら。。。！？
Eh!? What else does he want to do…!?

手をつなぐ→キス（レモン味）→結婚
Hold hands -> Kiss (lemon-flavored) -> marriage

表より裏の学校の方がずっと
I’d rather stay in the school of the afterlife than-

な。。。？
Wha…?

何。。。だよ！？何で急に。。。俺が来て嬉しかったって。。。あれはウソだったのかよ！！
What is this!? Why are you suddenly… Didn’t you say you were happy I came here? Was that a lie!!? Hey!!

花子さん。。。
Hanako-san…

裏の方が良いと本当にそう思うか？学校のない日中こいつらは何をしていると思う？
You really think this side is better? What do you think this lot does all day when there’s no school?

。。。え？
Huh?

日中は校内の未練のある場所で浄化出来る日まで何十年も苦しみ続けるんだぞ？
How many decades do you think they’ve suffered, lingering on all day at the places in this school they still feel attached to, until the day comes they can be purified?

そんな彼らを少しでも楽にしようとこの学校を委員長が始めたんだ
The chairman started this school in order to make these students just a little happier.

えーと２０年以上前の話だったよな？
It was more than 20 years ago, yeah? Chairman?

あれ？３０年前だっけ？
Or was it 30, maybe?

と。。。年の事はあまり言わないで下さい！！しーです！！
Pl… Please don’t mention how long it was!! It’s not polite!!

そんな思いを望月がしなくてすむと分かって
Realizing that you could live without those feelings,

望月を表に帰そうとする皆の気持ちがわからにか？
Can’t you understand why everyone is trying to return you to the outside world?

。。。っでだよこういう時は。。。普通
Why… This is the same as ever

仲間にひきずりこむもんだろぉ。。。
We were becoming friends, weren’t we…

友達だからですよ
…It’s because we are friends.

友達になったから楓くんが生きててくれてうれしい
Because you became our friend, it would make us happy for you to live, Kaede-kun.

そう思うのはあたり前です
It’s only natural we should think that.

[085]
友達になれたって。。。また俺は一人になるじゃない。。。か
I became your friend… But I’m just going to be alone again…

大丈夫
It’s all right.

私達は学校の外には出れないけれど裏と表でいつも一緒にいるんですよだから楓くんは一人じゃありません
We can’t go outside the school, but we’ll always exist together on the opposite sides of reality. So you won’t be alone, Kaede-kun.

いつか
And someday

私達が見れない外の世界をたくさんみて精一杯生きてそれでもここに未練があった時は
You’ll live with all your might and see everything of the outside world we can’t see. And then, when you still have regrets about this place

いつでもここへ戻ってきて下さい
Please return here any time.

その時はとびきりおいしいお弁当作りますから！！
And then, I’ll make you a fabulously good lunch!!

花子さん。。。俺　俺必ず。。。
Hanako-san… I… I’ll definitely…

か楓くん！？
Ka-Kaede-kun!?

先生！！まだ話が。。。
Sensei! I wasn’t finished!

イラっとくるな
You’re annoying me

さっさと戻らんか
Come back soon.

お前はやりたい
Whenever you want!

ええ！？
Eeh!?

てょっ唯一の感動シーンなのに！？
That was our one touching scene!

花子さん
Hanako-san-

望月！！
Michizuki!!

望月目を覚ましたぞ
Michizuki woke up.

大丈夫かよ
Wonder if he’s okay.

先生まだ？
The doctor here yet?

動くなって頭打ってんだから
Don’t move, you hit your head.

俺は一体。。。
What the heck was I…

大丈夫か？
Are you okay?

ああ。。。そっか。。。
Oh… Right…

俺は
I’ve

帰って。。。
Returned.

にしてもまさか
But still…

階段踏み外して死にかけるなんてな
I can’t believe I almost died from slipping on the stairs.

ハズィ
How embarassing…

そういえばあの時クラスのやつら何人かいたな。。。
I wonder how many people from class were watching me back there…

[086]
裏でもそうだったけど俺は自分の殻に閉じこまって
On the other side it was the same way. I stayed closed up in my shell

相手の事を良く知ろうとしなかった
I didn’t try to understand or find out about others.

だからだから今度は自分から。。。
So this time… this time I’ll break out

今度花子さん達に逢う日まで俺は精一杯―
And until I can see Hanako-san and the others again, I’ll do my best-

おはよ。。。
Good morni…

精一杯
My very best-

生きて。。。
To live…

すっ
Nga!

おはよす？
Good morninga?

。。。す？
…ga?

おは。。。す？
Morning?

おはよ。。。す！？
Good morni…nga!?

た。。。ただいま
I… I’m back.

あの時の涙は一体
Why were you crying back there…

死因はバナナの皮か
Cause of death was banana peel, huh…

It’s finished…

弱小で部費もろくになかったけれど本物の惚れ薬を完成出来る日がくるなんて
Even though we are small group with insufficient club funds, to think the day we made a real love potion has finally come…

それもこれも。。
Think of all that…

真琴先輩本当にうれしそうだな。。。
Makoto-senpai sure looks happy…

全て哀沢くん！
We’ve done it all, Aizawa-kun!! All thanks to you!!

え！？　や。。。あの　僕はそんな。。。
Eh!? St… stop that… I’m not…

ううん　君が今まで無茶な材料集めを手伝ってくれたから今日という日を迎えられたんだよ！！
Yes, Aizawa. Because you helped me through and through to gather the most ridiculous ingredients, we have been able to reach this day!

あー　たしかに色々ありましたね。。。
Ah… there certainly were a lot, weren’t there…

材料集め日々。。。
Days spent gathering ingredients…

いえ。。。けれど先輩の情熱があったからこそ僕はこうしてついて来られたわけで。。。
It wasn’t… but it was because of your passion, senpai, that I was able to pull through doing all that…

この薬の副作用　おさえてもっと　を重ねれば色々　事に応用出来る　すばらしい働
This medicine’s side effects… in order to prevent… if we add more… could be put to use… is a wonderful…

聞いてない。
Not listening

でもそれ本当に効くのか？
But does that stuff really work?

[67]
な。。。何を言うんですか。。。　だだってちゃんと世界中の過去現在の文献を調べまとめてですね。。。
Wha… What are you saying… we looked carefully at contemporary international literature up until now and put it all together…

そ　そうですよここまで完璧に資料材料をそろえて完成させたんですから。。。
Tha- That’s right. We flawlessly arranged all the material and ingredients and brought it to fruition…

何だ実験済みじゃないんだ
What? You haven’t tested it yet?

う。。。うかつだった！！　完璧なまでにそろえた資料で作った事にうかれてこんな肝心な事を見落とすなんて。。。
I was careless!! I started celebrating what we had made before it was ready and missed something crucial…

そんあ！！　僕だって気づかなかったんですから！！
Don’t say that!! It was me who didn’t notice!!

こ　こうなったら
If it’s come to this

部長である私がこの薬の検体
I, the club president, be the test subject for this drug!

美化学部です＜３
We’re the microscience club <3

真琴先輩を慕って一年半。。。
It’s been a year and a half since I’ve had a crush on Makoto-senpai…

研究に没頭して自らの恋にはほど遠い人だったのに
Although she was devoted to research and was far from acknowledging love

すごい異臭
It smells terrible…

自分から惚れ薬の検体になるだなんて。。。！！
To hear from her own lips that she will test the love potion…!!

わかりました！先輩の役に立てるなら僕は喜んで相手役にー
I understand! If I may be of service to you, senpai, I will gladly take the role of the object of-

全然聞いてない
Not listening at all.

飲んだ瞬間この鏡で自分を見ればだれにも迷惑かけずに済むよ！
If I look at myself in this mirror the moment I drink it, we can do this without bothering anyone else!

飲む量が少なければこの薬は数日で効果がきれるはずだしね
And if the amount taken is small, then the drug will only be in effect for a few days too!

いいアイデアでしょ！！
It’s a good idea, isn’t it!!

ははは。。。
Hahaha…

さ。。。流石先輩。。。僕には考えもおよばないアイデアだなあ。。。
Gr… great thinking, senpai… I could never have come up with something like that…

[68]
それじゃあさっそく。。。
Well then, here I go…

。。。あっ
…ah

でも自分で自分を見るって効果的確に判断出来るにか？
But if I look at myself, can we really accurately judge the results?

ってああ！！？　確かにそういわれると。。。ナルシストだったらどうしよう！
Argh!! We really couldn’t… What would I do if I became a narcissist!?

先輩！！鏡。。。！
Senpai!! Your mirror…!!

えっあ。。。
Oh…

あっ
Ah-

や。。。やだ。。。何。。。え？　私。。。どうして今まで一緒にいて気づかなかったの。。。
No…No…What’s thi…s? I… Why didn’t I notice we were together this whole time…

せ。。。先輩。。。！？
Se…senpai!?

うそ。。。だろう！？本当にまわかこんなベタな展開―
This…can’t be real!? No way something as cliched as this could-

[69]
何て素敵な。。。壁＜３
What a beautiful… WALL <3

壁―！！？
WALL!?

ちょ。。。先輩！！　しっかりして下さい！！壁って。。。
Just… senpai!! Pull yourself together!! A wall…

あ―。。。きっとこうだな。。。よっぱど見たくなかったんだな。。。
Ah… so it was like this. I really didn’t wanna see that.

かべ
Bubble: wall

そんな解説はいいから何とかして下さいよ！！
Stop with the commentary and do something, please!!

ひにゃりとして冷たい中にもどこか温かみのある貴方を今まで見過ごしてきたなんて。。。このたくましい広く大きな全てでどうか私をつつみこんで欲しい。。。
How could I have overlooked you for so long, your pleasant coolness and pockets of warmth… Somehow, I want you to wrap me up all your big, wide burliness…

うわ！？　何か変な事言い出した！！
Whaa!? She’s saying really strange things!!

。。。うん　いやほら　恋愛は自由だしな。。。
…yeah. Love is free and all, you know…

自由すぎますよ！！　相手無機物ですよ！！？
This is way too much freedom!! The object of her affection is inorganic matter!!

まあ効果が切れるまで様子見るしか。。。ないな
…Well, I guess until the effects wear off, there’s nothing to do but observe the situation.

よかった。。。一応一緒に帰ってくれて
Thank goodness… at least I got her to come home for the time being…

数日で薬の効果は切れるはずだし考えによっては変な相手よりずっと安心かも。。。
And the effects of the drug should wear off in a few days. I think since her partner’s so strange she should be fine…

哀沢君。。。
Aizawa-kun…

は　はい！？
Ye-Yes!?

[70]
恋って。。。甘く切ないんだね。。。
Love… is so bittersweet…

離ればなれのこの一時。。。
Being parted for a time…

色々な意味で不安だ―！！！
The possible meanings of that are frightening!!!
２日
2 days

幸せ。。。
I’m so happy…

５日
5 days

クッキー焼いてみたんだけど。。。あっでも口に合。。。
I made you some cookies… I hope you like them…

クッキー？
Cookies?

今度　両親に会って欲しいの
Next time, I want you to come meet my parents.

まったく事態が好転してませんが！！？
Why isn’t the situation getting any better!!?

つーか悪化してません！？
Isn’t it getting worse!?

重い女だなんて思わないで
Please don’t think I’m a cruel woman…

。。。しかし一つ間違えば危険な薬にもなり得ると分かっていたはずだろう
But you knew that one mistake would create a very dangerous drug, didn’t you?

それを承知で部長自ら検体になったんだこうなったのも仕方がー
Even knowing that, the club president willingly made herself a guinea pig. Now things are like this, there’s nothing…

そんな言い方。。。部長はー
Do you mean… The club president…

惚れ薬を研究して正しく使えば恋に奥手な人を後押しする薬になるんじゃないかな。。。
If we research a love potion and use it correctly, we will be able to make a drug that can help people who are shy in love…

告白する勇気が足りない人が飲む。。。なんて。。。ね
For example if someone who doesn’t have enough courage to confess his love were to drink it…

こんな事になるなら。。。薬の完成を待たずに
If only things had been different… if I hadn’t waited for the completion of the drug

そもそも僕が検体になってれば。。。
If I had been the test subject…

ちゃんと僕の気持ちを伝えていれば
If I had properly conveyed my feelings…

[71]
。。。といっても
If only…

一応とはいえ顧問の私が一番責任あるわけだしな
Really, the greatest responsibility is on my shoulders, as supervisor.

先生。。。
Sensei…

それにしても勉強不足だなこんな時の為の万能な方法があるだろう
Regardless, the reasearch is insufficient, but there might be an all-purpose cure for times like these…

万能！？
All-purpose?

あるんですか！？　先輩を元にもどす方法が！！
Is there one!? A way to bring senpai back to how she was!?

あるよ。
There is.

ずばり　王子さまのキス　ってやつだ。
Yes. That is- the kiss of a prince.

は！？
Wha-!?

な。。。なな何非科学的な事を。。。！？
Wha-Wha-… what kind of unscientific methods…!?

キ。。。キキキキスって。。。
A… ki-ki-ki-kiss, you say…

古今東西いつだって姫の目を覚ますにはこの方法が一番なんだよ
From ancient times until now, from east to west, that’s always been the best way to wake a princess.

そんな。。。まさか　先輩とキ。。。でも。。。
But… there’s no way… a ki… with senpai…

このツミが魅力的
This stain is so charming <3

先輩が元にもどるなんて保証はどこにもない。。。だけど
There’s no way to guarantee that senpai will return to normal… but

ゼロ％とは言い切れないじゃないか。。。！
You can’t say there’s no chance it won’t work!

そうだ！！これは決してやましい気持ちじゃなく可能性があるのなら
Yes!! This isn’t just my guilty conscience! If there’s any possibility…

ま　真琴先輩！！
Ma- Makoto-senpai!!

[72]
あっ。。。
Is this…

悪夢！？
A nightmare!?

あれだけ煽っていてあんたがしちゃうんですか！？
What the heck!? Are you just trying to provoke me!?

いやだって私の方が王子様っぽいしあと顧問だし
No. But I’m the one who’s more prince-ish, and I’m your advisor, after all.

っぽいの！！？
Ish!!?

大事なのは形式だぞ
What’s important is the ritual, you know.

まーショックで元にもどったんだから良いじゃないか
Well, she’s back to normal from the shock, so it’s fine, isn’t it?

壁。。。壁に恋って私。。。
A wall… I was in love with a wall…

ご迷惑おかけ致しました
I’m sorry for causing so much trouble…

次から気をつけてな
Just be more careful next time…

本当にすみません
I’m really sorry.

無機物の
So senpai was stolen away from me not only by an inanimate object, but also my (female) teacher…

哀沢君も色々とごめんね。。。
I’d like to apologize to you too, Aizawa-kun…

元にもどるて良かったですよ。。。
It’s good that you’re back to normal…

私。。。部長失格だね　こんなミスばかりして迷惑かけて。。。やっぱり惚れ薬の研究が役に立つ日なんて。。。
I… I’m not qualified to be club president. I only ever mess up like this and cause trouble… I guess the day that love potion research becomes useful is still…

そんな事ありません！！失敗なんてだれでもしますよ！！。。。それに
That’s not true!! Everyone fails sometimes!! And besides…

この研究はきっと人の為になる日が来ます！！
The day will certainly come that this research helps people!!

惚れ薬をちゃんと先輩の構想通りの薬に完成させて時は一番最初に
When the love potion is finally completed according to your design, let the first person to use it-

告白する勇気のない僕にその薬を使わせて下さい！！
Be me, who doesn’t have enough courage to confess his love!!

哀沢君。。。！
Aizawa-kun…!

わ　分かったよ！！私あきらめずにがんばる！！
A-All right! I’ll give it my all and won’t give up!!

哀沢君好きな子がいたんだね！
So there’s someone Aizawa-kun likes!

はい！！
Yes!!

気持ち伝わったかな。。。
I wonder if I got my feelings across…

青春だなあ
Aah, the springtime of youth…

なーお前達自己
Hey, do you guys know what self-suggestion is?

じこ
Self…

あんじ？
Suggestion?

[53]
最近ここら辺が物騒だっていうのは知ってた
I knew that things had been dangerous around here lately.

辻斬り注意/１１０番まで！！
Poster: Notice: sword-testing killer*/ up to 110th victim!!

TN: This is really hard to translate… the word is tsujigiri, literally “crossroads killing” which refers to the Sengoku and Edo practice of warriors testing out the sharpness of their blades or the strength of their arms by cutting down an unsuspecting pedestrian on the road. I guess you could leave it in Japanese if you really wanted to…

う。。。あ。。。
Uh… ah…

でもたった１０分近所のコンビニへ行くだけだったのに
But it was only 10 minutes. Just going to the neighborhood convenience store, that was all.

たった１０分―
Just 10 minutes-

[054]
たかが１０分で巷で悪名高い女子高生辻斬りに遭遇するなんてー！！！
To think that in just 10 minutes, in the middle of the street, I encountered the infamous high-school sword-testing killer girl!

あわわわわ。。。
Wha-wha-wha-wha…

早くしないと学校遅刻しちゃうよ
If you don’t hurry up you’ll be late for school.

あ。。。ああ
Ok…

俺。。。

生きて。。。る？
I’m alive…?

ってなあーんだ！！
What am I saying! It was a dream! Of course it was a dream.

あはははは

Tonight, 9:00 I’ll be waiting for you at OX* park.

*TN: filler name, insert what you will

現実でした―
It was real!

そうだよ昨夜。。。
That’s right. Last night…

[056]

…email address

へ？
Eh?

メアド。。。教えて。。。
Tell me… your email address…

って
She said.

まさか助かりたいが為についたウソでこんな展開になるなんて誰も思わないじゃん
I wanted to be saved, but who would have guessed the lie I told in order to do it would turn into this kind of situation!?

あうあうあう
Whaaaa-

だって死ぬの怖いじゃんそりゃ個人情報の一つや二つ教えちゃうじゃん
But still, I was afraid of dying! Of course I told her one or two pieces of personal information!

そうだ！！今からだって遅くない　知ってる事だけでも警察に―
I know!! It’s still not to late. Even with the few things I know, I’ll call the police…

メアドと。。。名前はレンゲ。。。
Her mail address… and her name is Renge…

ピピ
Beep beep

だ。。。めだ
I… can’t.

あいつの情報をほとんど俺は知らないけど俺の事は住所も名前も知られてるんだ
I don’t really know anything about her, but she knows both my name and address.

警察にチックっても早急に捕まらなかった時家に報復しに来られたら家族が―
Even if I squeal to the police, in the time before they catch her, she might come to my house for revenge, and then my family…

もっと確実に捕まるような個人情報を知るまで警察に連絡出来ない。。。
Until I find out more information so they can reliably catch her quickly, I can’t contact the police…

やっぱ住所を知るのが確実だよな。。。
Knowing an address is definitely reliable…

ベツ　ベツ
Fx: glop glop

お兄ちゃんそれジャム！！
That’s jam, big brother!

そこ押入れだよ！！？
That’s the closet!

行って来ます。。。
I’m heading out…

でも俺ビビリだし。。。
Even though I’m shivering with fear…

[057]
よく考えたら名前も本名じゃないかもやっぱ親密になって色々聞きだすか
Now that I think about it, that name might not even her real name. If I get more friendly her, I should hear some things.

しかし無謀だったかな
But this is sure reckless, isn’t it.

相手は殺人鬼。。。武器か何か持って来た方が良かったかも
The person I’m meeting is a demonic killer… Maybe I should have brought a weapon or something…

いやいや　でももし敵意なんか見せたらバサーとやられるかも。。。それに俺非力だし
Nonono, if I show any hostility, she’ll probably take me out with one blow… and besides, I’m a wimp anyway…

って　ぎゃ―！！？
-GYA!!?

ちがっ違います！！俺はその決して逆らおうとか捕まえようとか考えてなんか―
N-No!! I mean, I- I definitely wasn’t thinking about opposing you or getting you arrested-

部活で。。。遅く。。。なってしまって。。。
Sorry… for being late… I had club activities…

辻斬り魔のくせに部活入ってんのかよ―！？
Even the sword-testing demon has club activities!?

血まみれでどんな部だよ一体！？こえーよ！
What the heck kind of club is it, that she’s all covered in blood!! It’s creepy!

いや！！　別に。。。俺も。。。そう！！　来たばかりだから！！うん！！
Not at all!! It’s really… Me too… Yeah!! I just got done too! Mhmm!

とにかく刺激しないようにしよう
Anyway, I’ll try not to provoke her.

あの。。。これ。。。
Um… This…

はい？
Yes?

え。。。俺に。。。？　弁。。。当を？
Uh… You made a lunch…? for me?

毒とか入ってないよな。。。
It’s not poisoned or anything…

モツ煮
Boiled tripe*
*TN: motsuni can include the internal organs of any animal, while tripe specifically refers to cow’s stomach, but it sounds more natural as something people actually eat (rather than saying various boiled intestines, for example.

ええ―！？
Eh!?

こっ怖すぎる！！！
This is way too scary!!!

嫌い。。。だった？
You don’t… like it?

いやーもうね！！俺モツ煮大好き物なんだ！！！
No! I looove tripe!!!

[058]
あ。。。れ？意外といやかなり美味い。。。
Huh… Surprisingly, this isn’t too bad…

良かった。。。その肉。。。さっきしめたばかり。。。で新鮮。。。なの
Good… That meat… I just cut it.. it’s very fresh…

ぶふ―
Pbbt-

ししめたってまさかー！！？
Ju-Just cut it- Don’t tell me-!!?

しまった！！
Oh no!!

あっあまりの美味しさに思わず。。。
I- I never thought it would be this good…

むせちゃったなーあはははは／なんて
I just choked, that’s all… ahahaha… /sort of

。。。そう
…I see.

あ。。。れ？
Huh?

血も涙もない殺人鬼で辻斬り魔なのに
Even though she’s a bloodless, tearless demon, the sword-testing devil…

一瞬　普通の女のこみたいに見えた。。。
In this instant, she looks like a normal girl…

ってバカ―！！！
…What are you saying, idiot!!!

何ほだされてんだと！！　あいつは人切りだ！！俺はあいつを捕まえる為に―
How am I being moved by pity!! She’s a slasher!! In order to get her arrested I’ll-

こうして
Do this…

二週間
2 weeks later

何でいつも血まみれなんだ。。。
Why is she always covered with blood…

情報を。。。
and gather information…

三週間

モツ煮が好きなのは分かった。。。
I know she likes boiled tripe…

[059]

マフラー？
A scarf?

え？何。。。これ作ったの？
Eh? What… Did you make this?

うわー　うれしいなあ　（棒読）
Wow-! It’s great, I’m so happy. (monotone)

真夏にマフラーって
A scarf in the middle of summer…

へーしかし上手く作ってあるなあ。。。お店のやつみたい
But it really is well-made, isn’t it… Just like one from a store.

こういうのって家とかで
Speaking of which, did you do this at your house…

え！？俺何か真っ赤になる程怒らせる様な事言ったか！１？
What!? Did I say something to make her mad, that she’s gone all red like that!!?

あ。。。りがとう
Thank… you.

そんなふうに他人に誉めてもらったの。。。初め。。。て
That’s the first time… another person has… praised me like that.

今日。。。はもう。。。帰る　ね
For now… I’m going home.

え！？　あっ！！
Eh? Wai-!!

あ。。。
Ah…

何やってんだ俺！！！
What are you doing, Kei!!!

あの。。。いやごめん！！何でもない！！
Um… No, sorry!! It’s nothing!!

[060]
何。。。だよ
What is this?

何でそんな顔見せるんだよ
Why is she showing me that face?

辻斬り魔のくせに！！
She’s the sword-testing killer!!

普通の女の子の手。。。だった
But that… was the hand of a normal girl.

そういえがあいつ今日は血。。。ついてなかった。。。な
Speaking of which, today… she wasn’t covered in blood, was she.

ただいま。。。
I’m home…

お兄ちゃん！！！
BROTHER!!!

なっ何だよ　そんな大声だして。。。
Wh-what? What are you shouting about…

心配したんだよ！！　携帯もつながらないし―
I was so worried!! You weren’t answering your phone.

ついさっき隣の小川さんが辻斬りにあったって聞いて蛍兄こんなよるに出歩くから私。。。
And I heard our neighbor, Ogawa., met the sword-testing killer. Kei, you were out walking tonight, so I thought…

お兄ちゃん！！？
Brother!!?

何で―
Why-

さっき会った時はあんな顔してたのに何でこんな事―
She looked so normal when I saw her last, how could she be doing such things-

止めないと。。。
If I don’t stop her…

止め。。。る？
Can I stop her?

止めてどうする？警察に連れて行くのか？警察に捕まったら
What should I do if I did? Bring her to the police? If she was arrested,

あいつは―
that girl would-

[61]
止めろ！！！
STOP!!!

こんな事して何になるんだよ！！もうこんな無意味な事止めろ！！
If you keep going on like this, what do you think will happen!! Stop this pointlessness!!

こんなのいつまでも続くわけない　すぐ警察に捕まる！！だから。。。だから
You can’t keep on doing things like this forever. The police will catch you soon!! So… So-

俺と一緒に
You and me,

逃げよう！！！
Let’s run away together!

こいつは辻斬りで人殺しで最低なやつだ
This girl is the worst kind of villian, a murderer who kills people just to test her blade. But… but that doesn’t matter!

世界中の人間に恨まれたっていい！！
Being spurned and hated by the whole world is fine with me!!

俺は。。。俺は君の事―
I… I li…

全部捨ててもいいもっともっとずっと一緒にいたいんだ
I’ll throw everything away because I want to be with her always.

だって俺はこいつの笑ったかおもまだ見たこと―
And because I still haven’t seen her smiling face-

何をいっとるんだキサマは？つーか誰だ？
What are you saying, boy? Who are you?

お前こそだれやねん！！！
I should be asking, who the heck are you!!!

[62]
ウイッグ
wig

ふり向くと骨格変わってるじゃねえか！！？
Wasn’t your physique completely different before you turned around?

何やら変な小僧だが自分からこの刀の餌食となりに来るとは。。。
You are an odd young man, but for coming so close to my sword’s prey…

へ。。。へ　変態！！？
Yo… you’re a pervert!!?

む！？変態ではない
What!? I am not a pervert!!

このかっこうはウシが一番興奮する姿。。。ただそれだけだ！！！
This outfit is what makes me most excited… THAT IS ALL!!!/Hahahaha

やっぱ変態じゃねーか！！いばるな！！
So… You’re a pervert after all!!　Don’t kid yourself!!

こいつが辻斬り魔！？
This is the sword-testing demon!?

じゃああいつが犯人じゃなかっ
So, she wasn’t the criminal-

キサマのせいで一匹えものを逃してしまった。。。邪魔をした分その体を斬りきざんでー
Thanks to you, one of my prey managed to escape… because you got in the way I’ll mince up your body-

って　喜んで状況じゃないし！！
Shoot, this is not the time to be celebrating!!

あいつが辻斬りじゃないって分かったんだ！！
I know she’s not the sword-tester!!

こんな所で変態にやられるわけには―！！
I can’t be done in a place like this by some pervert-!!

って俺バカ！！！
But I’m such an idiot!!!

バットと布団たたき間違えて持ってきてるし！！！
I accidentally brought a futon beater instead of a bat!!!

まずは腕から！！
I’ll start with your arm!!

うわあ
Whaa!

ぬう！？
Nuu!?

[63]
ほう以前ワシのコスプレファンという事で見逃してやった娘ではないか！
You must be the girl I ignored because I thought you were a cosplayer fan of mine!

違う
You’re wrong…

お前の脳はどうなってんだよ！！？
What the heck is wrong with your brain!!?

だが
However…

逃げ。。。て
Run… away

そんなおもちゃで挑んでくるとは
Challenging me with a toy like that

愚かな
Is folly!!!

れ　蓮華！！！
Re- Renge!!!

ニセモノ
It’s a fake!?

たとえファンであっても二度はない　まず小娘キサマだら―
Even if you’re my fan, there won’t be a second tine. I’ll start with you, little girl-

だから違うって
I told you, you’re wrong…

このっ
You-

む―！！？
Muu--!!?

絶対！！離すもんか―！
I’m not gonna let you go-!!

ムグ
Mmpph…

え。。。あっ　あの
え。。。あの
Ah…er… um

ごめんな。。。さい
I’m… sorry.

最近夜は危ないって。。。分かってて。。。でも私。。。いつも呼び出して。。。ごめんなさ。。。い
I knew… it was dangerous at night… but I was still always calling you… out here… I’m sorry

男の子に　好きって言われた。。。初めてで。。。うれしくて平日でも　会いたくて
This is my first time… liking a boy… I was so happy… I wanted to see you even weekdays

早く。。。
Quick…

何だ。。。
What’s this…

は。。。はは
Ha… haha

あははははは
Ahahahahaha

いいよ！俺だって君にいっぱいあやまるないといけない事あるんだ！！
It’s fine! There’re a lot of things I should apologise to you about!

そっか。。。
That’s right…

それに折角もらったマフラーポロポロにしちゃったし。。。
Like I completely tore up the scarf you worked so hard to give me…

ううん。。。いい。。。の　だって　また　作れる。。。から　それよ。。。りも
No… it’s fine… I can… make more. But… more than that

蛍くんがケガしなてよかった
I’m glad you’re not hurt, Kei-kun.

あの時は助かりたくて必死で心にもない告白した
Back then I wanted to be saved and I desparately made a declaration I didn’t feel.

あの。。。さ
You know…

俺　君に絶対言わなきゃいけない事あったんだ
There’s something I really have to say to you.

でもいつの間にか辻斬りでも輪まわないぐらい俺は―
But somehow, before I noticedit, I didn’t care she seemed to be the sword-testing killer, and I-

[66]
君が
I-

好。。。きだ
Like… you!!

。。。そ。。。れは。。。前にも。。。聞いた。。。よ？
I… heard you... say that… before…?

いや。。。
Well…

これはあの時言った好きと全然違う“好き”なんだ
This “like” is completely different from the “like” I said back then.

これからゆっくり色々な彼女をしっていこう
From know on, I will slowly try to get to know everything about her

あの。。。私。。。も。。。
Um… Me.. too.

そうだまずは笑顔から
That’s right. Starting from her smile.

謎も解けた
I also solved the mysteries.

返り血は食材のだったのか。。。
So the bloodstains were from ingredients…

やっぱ。。。ね
Of course…

It was white as wax

少しぎこちなく動く彼女の手
The hand of that girl who moved a little stiffly

無理よ
It’s impossible.

私　桜井君とは
Sakurai-kun,

付き合えないわ
I cannot go out with you.

そこから時々覗くつなぎ目を見る度―
And when sometimes I saw the sutures peeking out from her sleeve

だって私は。。。
I told you I…

リサイクリングビューティー
RECYCLING BEAUTY

俺の胸は高鳴った
My heart pounded.

呪術　呪い　オカルト的なものが科学で解明された現在
These days, magic, spells, and those kinds of occult things are explained by science.

３－Ｄの藤堂零子ってさあ。。。
About Fujidou Reiko from 3-D…

ゾンビのような存在は決して珍しくない
The existence of things like zombies is certainly not unusual.

ゾンビでしょ？アレって生前問題かかえた訳ありの　人間が国と契約して低賃金労働力に使われるものなのに
She’s a zombie, right? THOSE are people who had to make a contract with the state to be used in the labor force for low wages because they got into trouble while they were alive.

何であの子はここで普通に学生してるわけ？
So why is that girl here acting as a normal student?

人に危害ないようにしてあるからってキモチ悪くない。。。？
They say they’re not supposed to harm people, but isn’t that just creepy…?

ゾンビとかそんなもの。。。
Being a zombie and all…

俺に関係ないよ
Doesn’t matter to me.

桜井君は私が物珍しいから錯覚してるの
Sakurai-kun, you’re curious about me and so you’re just deluding yourself.

聞いた話だとあの子の家もの凄い金持ちで。。。
The story I heard was that her family was filthy rich…

違う
You’re wrong.

テストケースって事で特別ゾンビ化して普通に生活させてもらってるらしい
It seems they did a special zombification as a test case and let her out to lead a normal life.

[46]

うわっ。。。それってモロコネじゃないか？
Waa… She’s really got some connections there.

つーかほら。。。親のエゴってやつ？
Or rather… her parents were just selfish.

私だったらあんなになってまで。。。
If it were me, becoming something like that…

桜井君のは恋はない　それは同情
Sakurai-kun, what you feel isn’t love. It’s just pity.

それは絶対違うっ
That’s not how it is!

私は死人よ何も感じないの
I’m dead. I feel nothing.

痛み。。。何も。。。無い　管理されてる人形
Not pain… there is… nothing. I’m just a doll that’s being controlled.

いつか必要なくなれば処分されるわ
Whenever I’m no longer needed I’ll be disposed of.

それでも
Even so…

俺は藤堂が。。。
Fujidou, I…

白くぎこちなく動くては
Her hand, white and moving clumsily

人形のようで

At the time…

藤堂は？
Fujidou?

俺の事どう思ってる？
What do you think of me?

[47]
。。。だから私は桜井君とは
I told you, Sakurai-kun, you and I-

好きか嫌いかで答えて欲しい
I want you to answer, whether you like me or hate me.

そ。。。それは。。。
Uh… Well…

嫌い
I don’t…

ゾンビはウソをつけない
Zombies can’t lie.

ではないわ
Hate you…

人に危害を加える事も出来ない
Zombies also can’t inflict harm on people.

ゾンビ化する際インプラントされているから
Because of implants made at the time of zombification.

。。。そうか
I see.

桜井。。。君？
Sakurai…kun?

ごめん無理に答えさせて
Sorry for making you answer pointless questions.

何してるの？そんな所にいたら危ないわ
What are you doing? It’s dangerous to stand in a place like that.

俺　昨日ゾンビ契約の申請が通ったんだ。。。無償で体渡すの条件に藤堂と同じテストケースにしてもらって
Yesterday, I followed through on an application for a zombie contract… On the condition that I would give up my body without compensation, I got them to make me a test case just like you.

な。。。
Wh…

自分から申請してたんだけどやっぱギリギリまで送って
I did the application myself, but really I was just barely able to convince myself to send it.

だけど
But…

[48]
藤堂が俺の事嫌いじゃないってわかったら
Now that I know you don’t hate me, Fujidou,

決心ついた
I’m resolved.

桜井君。。。
Sakurai-kun…

―痛
Ow…

んっ。。。
Ngh…

さ。。。さくらい。。。君
Sa…kurai…kun…

ダメ
You can’t…

ああ。。。やっぱり
Ah… so after all…

藤堂
Fuji…dou..

藤堂は
Fujidou does-

桜井君！！！
Sakurai-kun!!!

[49]
藤堂って
Hey Fujidou…

猫好きなの？
You like cats?

桜井君。。。
Sakurai-kun…

いや。。。よくソイツ構ってるから
I mean…because they seem to take to you.

好きって事かな？
I wonder if she does like them.

嫌いではないわ
I don’t dislike them.

私なんかになつくだら変わった猫だと思って。。。
I think this cat is strange for becoming so attached to me.

そんな言い方だと藤堂にしょうちゅう話しかけてる俺も
Well, if you say that… I must be getting strange too,
変わって事になるじゃん
because I’m always talking to you.

そう言えば　そうね
If you put it like that …I suppose so.

ちょっと。。。ね　見た！？　裏庭のあれ。。。
Wait… Hey, did you see that? That thing in the back yard…

見た見た　バラバラのやつでしょ
I saw, I saw! It was all cut up.

野良犬がやったんだろ？　最近ウロついてたし
Do you think a stray dog did it? There’ve been some wandering around lately.

えーでもあの猫ってよく藤堂さんが。。。
Huh? But that cat seemed fine with Fujidou…

しゃれになんあいって
This is no joke.
[50]
猫。。。埋めたんだ?？
Did you bury the cat?

ええ
Yes

あの。。。
Um…

他のやつらの言う事なんか。。。
Some of the things the others are saying…

やっぱり
After all…

どんな形でも死でしまったら。。。眠らせてあげないと
No matter what shape, the dead… should be laid to rest.

あの時
At that time

白くぎこちなく動くてと彼女の表情があまりにも相反していて
That clumsily moving white hand and the expression on her face didn’t really go together

俺の胸はしめつけられた
I felt my heart tighten.

これが。。。
This was…

君
(…kun…

桜。。。く。。。
Sa…ku…)

これが恋じゃないとしたら
If this wasn’t love,

桜井君！！
SAKURAI-KUN!

一体何だと言うのだろう
What in the world was it?

今　救急車呼んだから
I just called the ambulance

藤。。。ど
Fuji…do…

動かないで
Don’t move.

え？
Eh?

ごめん
Sor…ry

手。。。とれちゃって。。。
For pulling off… your hand…

[51]
何言ってるの　私の事なんて。。。こんなのすぐに付けてもらえ。。。
What are you saying? I can get something like that reattached right away…

やっぱり。。。藤堂は。。。人形じゃ。。。ない　よ
So… You’re really not a doll, Fujidou.

確かに痛みは感じないかも。。。しれない。。。けど
I guess you… don’t feel pain, certainly, but…

人形ならモノ。。。だったらそ。。。んな表情しない　だろ？
If you were a doll… you wouldn’t… be making that expression… right?

俺。。。藤堂を一人に。。。　猫の時。。。みたいなかおさせたくなくて　だから
That face is just like… when I was alone with you… the time with the cat… you didn’t want to show anything…

バカ。。。あなたはバカだわ
You’re an idiot. A real idiot.

私の事　好きなんでしょう？なら分かるでしょ？
You like me, right? So you understand, don’t you?

藤堂。。。
Fujidou…

私　猫も。。。桜井君も
Both that cat and you…

好きよ
I love you.

でも
But…

あったかい桜井君が
A warm Sakurai-kun

良いよ。。。
Is better.

。。。痛っ
Ow…

[52]
ごめん藤堂。。。毎朝かばん持ってもらって
I’m sorry for making you carry my bag every morning, Fujidou…

別に問題ないわ　人の為になる事だから
It’s no trouble, since it’s for the sake of helping a person.

あの日見た藤堂さんの涙は
That was the day I saw Fujidou’s tears.

あの
Um

藤堂。。。！
Fujidou!

冷めたく　俺が見た何よりキレイだった
They were cold, but more beautiful than anything I’d ever seen.

俺すっごい長生きするそれで
I’ll live for a very long time, and then-

このままで藤堂のそばにずっといるよ
I’ll always be by your side like this, as a human.

だけど
But

だけどもう二度と
But I would never again

本当に。。。桜井君は
Really, Sakurai-kun…

バカね。。
You’re an idiot.

泣かせたりしない
Make her cry.

きっと
Never.

ゾンビロマンチシズム
Zombie Romanticism
This is a remake of a story I drew a long time ago.
Everything I couldn’t write into the story then I stuffed into here.

I’m not sure if those first two will be able to make it in the world, but since reality is full of hardhips, I think manga ought to provide some respite.

Another thing about that- certainly for those two (especially Rika), with their spirit, no matter where they go things with turn out well, and without a doubt they will be happy coming up with wild ideas.

She’s very sturdy, isn’t she…

Well, uh… I think you need a license for that sort of thing…

Here’s tonight’s dinner!!

[53]
リサイクリングビューティー
Recyling Beauty

This is the story in which Sakurai-sensei, who appeared in Zombie Romantism, gets to be the main character.

While I was drawing this, I kept feeling sorry for making it so gloomy.

Although this is a prequel, by the time of ZR it’s established that Fujidou is no longer around. Although she couldn’t bring herself to say it, it was what she always wished for, and Sakurai-kun understood that feeling.

Furthermore, the one who tells Sakurai-sensei of the situation is Fujidou’s father. I had been thinking of maybe drawing that story, but a story with two men well into adulthood seemed a bit…how to say… like a boiled-vegetable-side-dish kind of story*. And so, this sequel was made.

*TN: that is to say, boring.

[25]
とー取りあえず！！
Kanewo: Qu- Quick!!

リカさんのお家に一度連絡して。。。
Call Rika's house...

しました
Tajima: done

学校内を探しー。。。
Kanewo: Let's search the school grounds...

探しました
Tajima: I already searched.

わたわた
Fx: *fret*

じゃあきっとまだ探してない場所に。。。
Kanewo: Well, she must be some place you haven't looked....

はっ
Fx: ha

リ　リカさん！！？
RIKA!!?

がら
Fx: thud

落ち着け
Tajima: Calm down.

一応職員室に残っていた桜井先生に外を捜してもらってます
Just to make sure, I got Sakurai-sensei, who was left in the staff room, to look outside.

真尋先生に！？
Kanewo: You asked Masahiro!?

そ　そうですかじゃあ僕もー
I-I see. Well then, I'm-

待って下さい
Tajima: Please wait.

[26]
少し。。。先生に確認しておきたい事があるんですが。。。
Tajima: There's just something I'd like to make clear with you...

え？
Kanewo: Eh?

あの。。。もしカネヲ先生がリカを
Tajima: It's that... if you are worried about Rika
一生徒として心配しているだけなのであれば。。。
just as one student out of many...
もうこの先リカに構わないで欲しいんです
¬I'd rather you didn't care about Rika at all.

捜すって言ってもなあ。。。
Masahiro: So she told me to search...

カップルばかだな
It's nothing but couples...

体操着って言ってたしあまり人目につかない所と思ったんだけど
Well, she said she's wearing gym clothes, so I think she'd be in a place where she wouldn't be noticed.

トイレとか。。。？
Like the bathroom...?

な。。。で。。。
Wha... but...

だから。。。十分。。。だ
So... That's enough.

み　身分証明！？何でそんなものがいるんですか！！？
I-Identification!? Why do you need something like that!!?

君ね　公園に怪しく人物がいるって通報が
Listen, I'm supposed to report any suspicious characters in the park-

別に私全然怪しくないですよ！！？
I'M NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL, AM I!!?

ぎかんぎかん
Fx: disbelief

どうからどう見てもあやしいよ！！？
Policeman: Huh?? No matter how you look at it, you're suspicious!!

[27]
狗上
Masahiro: Inukami...

人違いデス
Rika: You've got the wrong person.

い　狗上リカさんはこんな格好してウロついたり致しません
Inukami Rika would never wander around looking like this.

あの子はかしこい子です
That girl is a smart person after all

そうか分かった狗上リカ
Masahiro: Is that so. I understand, Inukami Rika.

多少の理由は田島からきいた
I heard something of the reason from Tajima.

学校には報告しないから早く戻った方が良い
I won't be reporting this to the school, so you'd best hurry back.

ピク
Fx: shake

それに。。。
And also...

カネヲ先生もきっと心配してるぞ
I'm sure Kanewo sensei is worried.

関係。。。ありません。。。
Rika: He has… Nothing to do with...

huh?
ん？

カネヲ先生は関係ありません！！
Kanewo sensei has nothing to do with this!!

ど。。。して　そこでカネ。。。ゾンビの名前が出てくるんですか！！
Wh... Why? Why did you mention Kane... that zombie's name just then?

メンドーだなあ。。。
What a pain...

ゾ。。。ンビに心配されなくたって私は。。。別に。。。だから。。。もう。。。
Just because a zombie is worried about me, I don't really... so... even...

何だって皆そんなゾンビがどうのって。。。内面よければ別に良いじゃん
What's with everybody treating zombies like that... If they're good on the inside, it's fine, isn't it?

どいつもこいつも
Jeez, everyone is so…

じゃん！？
Fine!?

全然良くなんかありません！！！
It's not fine at all!!!

よく。。。なんか。。。
Not... at all...

[28]
僕はー
I-

ゾンビなので何と答えて良いのか分かりません。。。
I am a zombie, so I don't what I should say in response...

ただリカさんはきっと僕にとって特別な人だと思い。。。ます。。。
I just think... Rika-san is a very special person to me...

田島さんはリカさんは”ゾンビ”が”苦手”なんだと考えてくれましたよね
Tajima-san, you told me that Rika-san is "weak" to "zombies".

そのことばを聞いたあとぼくなりに色々思い返してみました
After hearing those words, I tried to think about it in my own way.

それで
And so

じゃあ僕カネヲ個人はどう思われているのかな。。。と
I considered what she thinks of me, Kanewo, as an indiviual...

リカさんが僕を嫌っているのなら僕はリカさんに干渉しないと考えてました。。。でもー
If Rika-san says that she hates me, I won’t interfere with her life... but-

特別。。。ですか何だか微妙に肝心の言葉を避けてるような気がしないでもないですが
So she's... special, you say? Somehow, it's not like I think you're trying to delicately avoid the main point, but...

いや。。。その
No... It's just...

でもそうですね先生がリカをいち生徒以上の目で見てる事はわかりました
But... Ah, yes. You do see Rika as more than just another student.

そう　言われると何だかなあ。。。
Yes. But saying it that way is somewhat...

先生は
Sensei,

リカが子供の頃から心臓が弱かったって。。。知ってますよね
you know that Rika's heart has been weak since she was a child, right?

。。。はい
...yes

[29]
子供の頃　何度も手術をくり返して
When she was young, she had many surgeries.

今では想像できないけどずっと入院してました
It's hard to imagine now, but she was constantly hospitalized.

そんな時リカのお父さんは過労で。。。
At that time, Rika's father was overworking himself...

多額な手術も重なっていた事もあってリカのお父さんは生前
The surgeries were expensive and things were becoming difficult while her father was alive.

国とゾンビ契約を交わしていたんです
So he made a zombie contract with the state.

お母さん。。。
Mom...

リカ　もたいいんしたのにお父さん今日もきてくれないの？
Now I'm out of the hospital, is dad going to come today too?

ぎゃ
Fx: *squeeze*

お母さん？
Mom?

知っての通りゾンビ化すれば二度と家族と接触は許されず名字も消され
As you know, after zombification, you're not allowed to ever contact your family again, and even your surname is erased.

表向きは死亡扱いされますよね？
Publicly, you're treated as if you were dead, right?

当時のリカは聞くなったとだけ聞かされたそうです
At the time, it seems Rika was only told he had passed away.

清算が済めば国に処分される。。。　リカにとっては亡くなったと聞かされて正解だったと思います
The state liquidated and "disposed of" everything... For Rika, I think it was best that she was only told he died.

でも。。。
But...

。。。まさか
...You can't mean...

リカは偶然とは言えゾンビとなった父親とー
By chance, it seems, Rika and her zombified father...

会ってしまった
happened to meet.

[30]
お父。。。さん？
Da...ddy?

マジで！？
Seriously!?

リ　リカ！！？
Ri- Rika!!?

ズザー
Fx: woosh

おと。。。！！？
Dad...!!?

ビク
Fx: Eh!? (surprise)

ズぜー
sfx: swoosh-

ビク
shock

あ。。。あの。。。お父さん。。。？
Uh... Umm... Dad...?

リカのお父さんだよ。。。ね？　どうしてかくれるの？
You are my dad... right? Why are you hiding?

抜け出してこんな所まで来るんじゃなかった
She shouldn’t have been able to sneak out and come all the way to a place like this…

ち　違うよ　お。。。　僕は君のお父さんじゃなくて。。。
Yo- You're mistaken. I'm not your father...

その。。。ね　猫だよ！！
I mean... I-I'm a cat!!

ね　ねこ！！？
A CAT!!?

ににやー
fx: meow~

えっと。。。お父さん。。。そういうのは見つかる前に使う方法だと
Umm...Dad...I think that's something to say before you're found...

。。。猫はしゃべらないと思うの
I don't think cats talk either...

こ子供の的確なツッコミ！！？
I-I’m being corrected by a child!!?

ガン
Fx: shame

リカの天然は父親ゆずりだとこの話を聞いて確信したものです
After hearing that story, I was sure Rika's airheaded-ness is from her father.

ね。。。猫。。。？
A... cat...?

リカずっと前にこっそりお父さんが連れて行ってくれたこの公園に時々きてたんだよ
Before this, my dad used to secretly bring me here to this park from time to time.

お父さんにもしかしたら会えるかもしれないって
I thought just maybe I'd be able to meet with my dad...

お父さんは。。。死。。。んじゃったって。。。お母さんは言ってたけど。。。どうしても信じられなく。。。て
I heard... my... My dad is dead... That's what mom said, but... somehow I just couldn't believe it.

。。。リカ
...Rika

そうしたら本当にこうして会えたのにどうして。。。
But now that we even really met, why...

リカの事嫌いになちゃったの？入院ばっかりしてたから？
Do you hate me now? Because I always had to stay in the hospital?

カサ
fx: *sniff*

[31]
もう。。。リカ入院しないよもっと元気にな。。。る
I...I won't go to the hospital anymore! I'll get... better.

You don't have to say... if you like me... or hate me...
好き。。。嫌いだ。。。って絶対言わ

ガサ
fx: "*sob*

リ。。。
Ri...

リカ！！
Rika!!

び。。。びえええ
Wa... Whaaa (crying)

ちょっと。。。！？泣！！？
Wait! why are you crying!!?

fx: creak

ねー　お父さんどうしていつもそんな袋かぶってるの？
Hey, dad. Why are you always wearing that bag?

キイ
fx: creak

いや　だからね　お。。。　僕は君のお父さんなんかじゃないでゴワスですぞ！？
Oh, well, you see... I-I'm not your father or anything like that!

ネ！？
Right!?

う。。。うん
Oh...ok...

お父さん　変。。。
Dad's weird...

キイ
fx: creak

私　言われた通りお母さんにも誰にも秘密にしてるよ
I've been keeping this a secret from everyone, even mom, just like I was told.

でも早くお母さんに教えてあげたいなー
But I really want to tell mom soon-

だってきっとお母さんすっごく喜ぶよ！！
And then she'll definitely be re-ally happy!

ずっと定期的に会っていたんですか！！？
So they were always meeting regularly!?

いえ　日時を決めて会ってはいなかったみたいです
No. It seems they never decided a day and time to meet.

会えても会えなくてもリカは時間があればその公園に通ってたんです
Whether she could meet him or not, Rika would go to that park when she had time.

一年以上はそんな関係が続いていたみたいで。。。
For more than a year it seems they carried on the relationship...

一年も。。。
A whole year...

まだあの頃は管理体制が行き届いていませんでしたから
At that time, the management organization wasn't watching closely.

そんな関係が成立してしまったんでしょうね
I suppose a relationship like that was bound to come up...

[32]
だからこぞ
And so

リカの傷は大きくなってしまったんです
Rika's problem got worse and worse.

book: social studies

私　今度の検診で病院の先生に大丈夫って言われたら　他の子みたいに走って良いんだって！
And at my last examination, the doctor at the hospital said I'd be fine. He said I can run just like other children!

へー！！　良かったな！！
Really!? That's great!!

えっと。。。それでね。。。今度。。。会う時はお父さんに走る所。。。見て欲しい。。。の
Umm... You know... Next time... when we meet, I'll run to you... I want you to watch...

だから。。。
So...

リカ？
Rika...?

だからね
So...

次も絶対ここであうって
Next time let's meet here.

約束。。。して？
Promise me...?

。。。リカ。。。
Rika...

死人とはいえ大切な人は事故でも何でもなく人為的に事務的に用が済めば処分される
It wasn't just a corpse, but a beloved person who was "disposed of", not by accident, but deliberately.

あの子は身をもってこのシステムの異常さをしってしまったんです
And that girl, clutching herself, realized the wrongness of this system.

取り壊し工事の為　工事関係者以外の方は立ち入らないで下さい。
sign: closed for renovation. Those not associated with labor do not enter.

[33]
たぶんリカが本当に嫌いなのはゾンビではなくこのシステムそのものだと私は思います。
Probably what Rika really hates isn't zombies, but that system. That's what I think, anyway.

皆あたり前になってるけど
Should seem obvious to anyone, really

。。。そう。。。ですね　普通はないシステムだとは。。。思います
I... I see. I do think it's an abnormal system.

ただこの国はそんなものに頼らなければならないのも。。。確かなんです
But this country has to rely on things like that... It really does.

まあそんな感じであの子はアホなので「ゾンビなんてどうせ強制的にお別れだちくしょー」な思考になってるワケですね
Anyway, feeling like that and being an idiot, that girl must be thinking now "Shit, he's a zombie and all, so they'll forcibly separate us."

あー
Fx: *sigh*

ちちくしょう？
Sh-Shit?

正直何が正しいのか正しくないのか私は。。。分かりませんでもきっとこのままでもリカは心から笑ってくれないんじゃないかと思います
Honestly, I don't know if it's right or wrong... but I'm sure that through all this, I think Rika is smiling for us in her heart.

正しい。。。正しくない
right or wrong...

リカさんはあの時お父さんと出会うべきではなかったかもしれない
Maybe Rika shouldn't have been seeing her father back then...

リカさんも。。。そう思っているんだろうか
Rika too... is probably thinking the same thing.

じゃあ彼女のお父さん。。。？
So then her father...?

それなら僕は。。。
In that case... I...

三年前に僕の人生は終わってしまったけれどこうしてゾンビにならなければリカわんと出会うことはなかった。。。
Three years ago my life ended, but if I hadn't become a zombie like this I would never have met Rika-san...

それはつまりー
In other words, I...

ピリリ。。。
fx: ring

ピツ
Fx: flip

[34]
先生リカが見つかったって私　制服もって行ってきます
Rika's been found... I'm going to bring her her uniform.

先生。。。どうしますか？
Sensei... What will you do?

おっ？
Oh?

強気
such conviction...

僕も。。。行きます！
I... I'm going too!

今すぐリカさんに言わなきゃいけない事があるんです！！
There's something I need to tell Rika right away!!

なー狗上　「頭かくして尻かくさず」ってことたずしってるかー？
Hey Inukami, you know the saying "Cover your head, leave your ass wide open"?

じ。。。自分は狗上リカじゃないでゴワス　です！！
I... I'm not Inukami Rika or anything like that!!

幼い私は父を待ちながら
When I was little, waiting for dad

いつも考えた
I always pondered

なあ狗上　俺の個人的な話だけど
Hey Inukami. This is just self-centered rambling...

昔ゾンビを好きになったやつがいたんだ
But a long time ago there was a guy who fell in love with a zombie.

もちろん別れは承知の上でだけどそいつは後悔してなかったよ
Of course, he knew from the start they'd be broken up, but this guy didn't regret it.

もう父は帰って来ないとわかってはいたけれど
I knew Dad would no longer return, but...

でも
but...

別れの辛さより一緒に居られた時間の方が大切だったからな
Because the time they were able to spend together was more important than the bitterness of being parted.

次に会った時はきっとー
The next time we meet, surely...

[015]
ゾンビなんか。。。
Rika: I...

大嫌い。。。！
Hate zombies!!

大嫌い。。。か
Kanewo: she hates me, huh.

嫌われる事には
Even though...

慣れてるはずだったのにな。。。
I ought to be used to being hated, I suppose.

[16]
何感傷に浸っているんですかカネヲ先生
Masahiro: Wallowing in sentimentality now, Kanewo?

わあ！？
Kanewo: Wha!?

か　感傷だなんて。。って真尋先生　いつからそこに。。。！？
Se-Sentimentality... wait, Masahiro, how long have you been here!?

『大嫌い。。。か』の所から
Masahiro: Around "she hates me, huh"

うわああああっ　めちゃくちゃ始めの方じゃないですか
Kanewo: Uwaaaaa! (That's pretty much from the beginning!)

。。。で。。。あの。。。僕に何か用事でも？
So... um.... Was there something you needed from me?

いや授業が終わったので一服させてもらおうかと
Masahiro: No, it's just that classes are over and I thought you might want to have a smoke.

えっと　あの。。。何度も言ってるはずですがここは
Kanewo: Er... um... I know I've told you this a hundred times, but you can't smoke here...

って言うか校内は全部。。。
or on any school grounds, for that matter...

『大嫌い。。。か』
Masahiro: "she hates me, huh"

分かりました。思う存分ニコチンを摂取していって下さい。
Kanewo: Fine. Please take in as much nicotine as your heart desires.

あっ　お茶は結構ですので　いつものコーヒーブラックで
Masahiro: Oh, and no thanks on the tea. I'll take the usual, black coffee.

うう。。。
Kanewo: Uh...

さくらい専用
(canister: sakurai senyou)

どうも真尋先生といると調子くずすなあ。。。何ていうか。。。接し方はまるで。。。
Kanewo: Somehow Masahiro being here really ruins the mood... It's almost... his way of greeting people is just like...

まるで。。。
just like...

[017]
狗上リカー
Inukami Rika...

。。。え？
Eh?

いや　そう言えば前によくここで見かけたのに最近見なくなったなと
Masahiro: Nothing, it's just now that you mention it, I used to see her around here all the time. Lately she’s gotten pretty scarce.

彼女から避けられていたのは分かっていた　それはー
Kanewo: I knew she would run away from me. It’s just...

えっと
Um...

リカさ。。。いえ
Rika-sa... I mean,

狗上さんには。。。
Inukami-san...

別に彼女に限った事でなくむしろそういった
It's not just her... Rather, even though I thought I'd gotten used to that kind of reaction...

嫌われてしまいました
Seems to hate me now.

苦しく感じるのは何故だろうか
I wonder why I feel it so bitterly this time.

とうとう言ってしまった。。。
Rika: I went and said it….

面と向かって言ったんだものもう訂正出来ないこれできっと忘れられる
I went and said it to his face. There's no way I can make amends now. Now I should finally be able to forget about him...

[018]
でもひどい言い方しちゃったな
But I said it in such a horrible way.

振っきりたいからって　いくら何でもアレはないだろう私！！もうちょっと何かさあ
“I want to not see each other anymore, no matter the circumstances.” No, that’s not it, Rika! Something a little different…

こう。。。丸く。。。いや甘く？いやいや甘くしてどーすんのよ？
More... calmly... no, sweetly? No, no, how do you say that sweetly?

ううん
Hm--m

オイってツカトすんなよ
Boy: I said, hey! Don't ignore us!

-!!?

な。。。？　何ですか？
Rika: Wha- What do you want?

あーやっと反応した
Boy: Hey, you finally reacted.

ねそれって罰ゲームかなんか？
Think she lost a bet or something?

えっと。。。
Rika: Umm...

ああ　それともいま流行りのコスプレってやつとか
Yeah. That or maybe it’s some kind of popular cosplay character?

だったらすっごく可愛く写真撮ってくれる所知ってるんだけどさ
So, anyway, you look really cute. I know a place to get pictures taken, you know.

え。。。あの　写真？
Uh, well... pictures?

すぐ近くだから今からどう？
It's really close, how 'bout we head there now?

いやだ。。。この人達何言って。。。
Rika: I don't like this... What are these people saying?

私　そういうの興味ないので。。。
I... I'm not really interested in that sort of thing...

そんな格好でウロついてて興味ないって事はないだろう？
Come on, wandering around in an outfit like that, you can't really say you're not interested.

ちょっと。。。
Rika: Wait...

やめて下さい。。。格好って一体
Please stop... What do you mean, outfit-

格好。。。？
Outfit...?

[019]
ぶふ！？
Mph!?

お。。。おいお前っ
H-Hey, dude!

って大丈夫か！？
You OK?

うう。。。舌が
Urgh... my tongue…

バカ！！バカだ！！私ってば鞄も靴も制服も忘れてこのまま帰ろうとしてたなんて！！　忘れすぎだ　つーの！！
Rika: Idiot! I'm such an idiot! I forgot my bag and my shoes and even my uniform!! To think I was going to go home like this! That's just too much to forget!

追っかけて来た！？やっぱアレで（頭つき）記憶の消法はむりか！！
Are they following me!? I guess I really couldn't erase their memories with that (the headbutt).

あたり前だ。
obviously

追いつかれたらメンドーだし　早く学校に。。。
It'll be trouble if they catch up to me, I have to get back to school quickly...

持久力なし
no stamina

公園。。。
The park...

嫌われた。。。ね
Kanewo: She hates me...

仕方ない事ですよ僕はゾンビですしそもそも彼女以外生徒。。。先生すら
I can't do anything about it. I'm a zombie, and really, except for her… to the students I'm just a teacher.

余程の事がない限りここには来ないぐらいですから
Except when there's a big problem, no one really comes in here.

[020]
え？　俺は？
Masahiro: Eh? What about me?

先生は例外です。
Kanewo: You're an exception.

分からないなあ。。。俺からすれば何で皆ゾンビをそんなに避けるのか分かりませんよこんなにファンシーなのに。。。
Masahiro: I don't get it, you know... If you ask me, I don't understand why everyone avoids zombies, as elegant as they are...

ファンシー！？
elegant!?

何その美的感覚！！？いろんな意味で怖いですよ！！？
Kanewo: What's with your sense of aesthetics!!? The multiple meanings of that statement are a little frightening!

それに生身の人間よりずっと傷つきやすくて繊細なのに
Masahiro: They're more easily injured than flesh-and-blood humans, so delicate and yet...

表には決して出さないそういうの見ると　おせっかいでも　何かしたくなるんですよね。
They can’t even go outside. When I see something like that… I know I’m being meddlesome, but I want to do something.

で？
So?

傷って。。。？
injured?

確かに体は傷みやすいケド。。。
Kanewo: Well, my body certainly does get hurt pretty easily, but...

好きなんですか？狗上リカが？
Masahiro: Do you like her? Inukami Rika?

な。。。何を唐突に！？僕はこの学校の一応校医なんですよ！！
Kanewo: Wh-What was that all of a sudden? I'm the school doctor right now, you know!

道徳的なものとか色々も。。。
and there are plenty of ethical reasons...

いや　校医とか別に関係ないと思うんですけど
Masahiro: No, I don't think being the school doctor is relevant.

大体。。。痛みも。。。何も感じない死人のゾンビが
Kanewo: The thing is, for a corpse of a zombie who can't feel anything, even pain...

今さら人を好きになるなんてバカげてますよ
To fall in love with a human just seems foolish.

僕らは清算が終われば後に処―
If we could just settle our accounts and resign ourselves to the hereafter...

ゾンビって同じ事言うんだな
Masahiro: So, zombies say the same things.

[21]
死人だろうが何だろうが今ここに存在して心は生前と同じであるんでしょう？
Masahiro: Even if you're a corpse or whatever, you exist here and now, your heart's the same as when you were alive, right?

体に痛みを感じないから何も心も感じないなんてウソだ
Saying your heart doesn't feel anything because your body doesn't feel pain is a lie.

この人は―
Kanewo (thought): This person…

この人も同じなんだ
This person is just the same.

嫌悪や好奇の目を向けられるのはあたり前なのに
Even though it makes sense to only attract looks of repugnance and curiousity

彼女もこの人もまるで僕を普通の人間のような目で見る
Both she and he see me in the same way, as a normal human.

仮に
Let’s suppose...

あんな目で見られると
if they see me like that...

僕は狗上さんに対して何かおもっていたとしても
Even if I did feel something facing Inukami-san.

後。。。悔。。。？
Was it... regret?

この道を選んだ事を後悔しそうになりそうで
It seems like I’m starting to regret having chosen this path.

ああそうだ。。。だからあんなに苦しかったのか
Yes, that must be it... that must be why it was so painful.

所詮ゾンビは未来なんてないんですから
A zombie really has no future.

僕はたぶんリカさんを。。。
For me and Rika-san, it's probably...

お取り込み中申しわけないんですが。。。
Tajima: Please excuse me for interrupting you while you're busy...

[22]
田島さん！？え。。。あ。。。あの
Kanewo: Tajima-san!? Eh… er… um...

すみません　わりと結構だいぶ前から聞いちゃってました
Tajima: I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to, but I’ve been listening since quite a while ago.

大の大人が乙女全開トークを繰り広げる様が滑稽でつい立ち聞きを。。。
It was funny that two such mature adults were going on about love like a pair of middle school girls, so I stood here and listened...

(33 years old)
33歳

(29 years old)
２９歳

About Rika...
リカは。。。

I don't presume to know anything, but Rika, she... that girl...
ご存じかもしれませんが。。。リカは。。。あの子は。。。

She's very stupid.
とても頭が悪いんです

(saying it delicately)
弱いとも言います。

Ta... Tajima-san...?
た。。。田島さん。。。？

And she's bad at lying too. She has a simple manner of thinking. These days, she's been an interesting... no, a rare kind of fool.
ウソもヘタし単純で今時おもしろ。。。いえ珍しいバカなんです。

But even so, she's not a bad person. On the contrary, it's that idiocy that I like about her.
けれど悪いやつでは決してなくて逆にそんなバカな所が私は好きだったりするのですが。。。

Since she's such an idiot, I think she must have said something to you, Kanewo-sensei.
きっとバカなのでカネヲ先生に何か言ったんじゃないかと思います

But if somehow you don't already hate Rika...
でももし先生がまだリカを嫌いでないなら

[23]
Tajima: It would make me happy if you would think back on how Rika spoke and acted after she learned you were a zombie.
先生がゾンビだと知った後のリカの言動を少し思い出してもらえるとうれしい。。。です。

Kanewo: To think back on it... well, that was...
思い返す。。。あのそれは―

Tajima: Well then. It seems Rika is no longer here, so I will take my leave.
では　リカもう居ないみたいなので私はこれで失礼します

Kanewo: Oh... Yes...
あ。。。はい。。。

Tajima: Kanewo-sensei
カネヲ先生

Rika has a weakness to zombies, you know.
リカはゾンビが苦手なんですと

Kanewo: Umm...
え―と。。。

(But she said she hated me...?)
とにかくすざと僕が嫌って事？

What could that possibly mean?
どういう意味でしょうか？

Masahiro: Is he that obtuse!!
にぶっ！！

Tajima: I was pretty meddlesome there, wasn't I...
私って結構お節介だったんだなあ。。。

Kanewo: Think back...
思い。。。返す。。。

Rika-san's speech and actions...?
リカさんの言動。。。？

Masahiro: I should get back soon too.
俺もそろそろ戻りますか

[24]
Masahiro: I think it's better to take Tajima's words without thinking too profoundly.
田島さんのいった事あまり深く考えずそのまま受け取れば良いと思いますよ

Kanewo: ...Yeah
。。。はあ

No matter how many times I think back I still don't know what she means... And in any case, Rika-san said she hated me.
何度思い返しても分からないな。。。とにかくリカさｎは僕を嫌ってるって事で

but she was crying...
泣く程―

Once she knew I was a zombie, at least she didn't yell out my name too...
ゾンビだと分かって以来名前も呼ばれなくなったしな。。。

Wait, my name?
―名前？

“Rika has a weakness to zombies, you know.”
リカはゾンビが苦手なんですよ

It is true she didn't say what she hated by name.
確かに名指しで嫌いだとは言われてないけど

Tajima: Kanewo-sensei!!
カネヲ先生！！

Whaa!!?
うわあ！！？

You haven't gone home yet!?
まだ帰ってなかったんですか！？

(it's already past 6 o'clock!)
もう６時回ってますと！！

[25]
Tajima: Don't worry. I only heard from after "once she knew I was a zombie"
安心して下さい　『ゾンビだと分かって以来。。。』の所からしか聞いてませんから

Kanewo: Isn't that enough!?
もうそれで十分ですよ！？

Is this the latest fad, pestering people!?
流行ってるんですかその嫌がらせ！？

Tajima: That's all fine with me, but Rika isn't anywhere to be found.
そんな事どうでもいいんですけどリカがどこにも居なくて

Kanewo: Fine...?
どうでもいい？

それって先に帰られたんじゃあ。。。
What do you mean, she left to go home a while ago...

いえそれが
Tajima: No, I mean...

鞄と靴と制服はそのままで。
Her bag, shoes and uniform are right here.

制服！？
uniform!?

ええ―！！？
Kanewo: What!?

公園
The park

お姉ちゃん何してるの？
Boy: Hey, lady, what'cha doin'?

もうそろそろ（？）（？）（？）（？）かな

かっ。。。かくれんぼ？
Rika: Hi-Hide and seek?

Rika...
リカ。。。

もう大丈夫今度退院したらリカも皆と同じように遊べるからね
Mother: Everything's going to be fine now. Once you get out of the hospital this time, you'll be able to play just like everyone else.

ほ。。。当？

Re... Really?

ええ　本当よ
Yes, really.

Hey... Mom...
ね。。。お母さ。。。ん

What is it?
何？
What... about... Dad?
お父。。。さん。。。は？

すみま。。。せん　よびだしておいて。。。遅れて。。。あの。。。
So...rry... for calling you out here…and being late, and... erm...
(sfx: fidget fidget)

リカさん走って来たんですか？
Kanewo: Rika, did you run all the way here?
ダメですよ体の事考えて行動しないと
That's no good. You should think about your body before you act.

で。。。ででも私こう見えても鍛えてるのでこ。。。このくらい。。。
Rika: B-b-but even though I seem tired like this, with a little training... this much...

[005]
それでも無理はダメですよさ　深呼吸してください
Kanewo: That may be, but you still shouldn't overdo it. Now, take a deep breath.

(sfx: thump thump)

動悸が！！
Kanwo: Her hearbeat!!

(sfx: thonk thonk)

あ　あのリカさん一度保健室に。。。
Kanewo: E- Erm, Rika-san, maybe you'd better go to the infirmary...

い　いえ！違。。。違うんです！！
Rika: No!! You're mistaken!

違う！？　（何が？）
Kanewo: Mistaken? about what?

実は　実は。。。　私ー
Rika: The truth- the truth is... I... I... !

あっそんな急に立ち上がったら。。。
Kanewo: Ah- Wait, if you stand up quickly like that...

あ。。。
Rika: Oh...

[006]
危な。。。
Kanewo: Watch out!

やっぱっ。。。立ちくら。。。み
Rika: Oh… I really shouldn’t have… stood up

リカさん！！
Kanewo: Rika-san!

だ。。。大丈夫です。。。か？
A-Are you… all right?

すすすすみません！！
Rika: S-S-S-Sorry!!

あの。。。先生　私。。。その。。。い。。。いつもカネヲ先生にお世話になってて。。。だから

For such a kind teacher like you, I... The truth is... I really...

Really...

あ。。。れ？
Huh?

えっと。。。あの。。。これ。。。は。。。？
Rika: Uh... er... is this…?

手。。。？
your hand?

あっ！すみませんさっきので取れちゃったみたいですね。
Kanewo: Oh! Sorry about that. It looks like it must have come off earlier, doesn’t it.

最近傷み具会が進んでて。。。良く取れるんです。。。はは
My condition has been advancing lately... It really got torn off there, didn't it... ha ha..

春先どうにも。。。
Spring just started so it can’t be helped…

いやああああああああああ
Rika: eaaaaaaaaaaahhh

私の恋は砕けて散った
My first love fell to pieces.

リ　リカさん！？
Kanewo: Rika-san!?

第八回ゾンビ野郎を追い出す議会
Blackboard: 8th Committee on expelling the zombie menace

議長
chairwoman

と　いうわけで！！
Rika: And there you have it!!

カネヲ先。。。いやえっと。。。あのゾンビ野郎を学園だら追い払う案を考えて欲しいの！！
And so, I want you to think of a plan for driving Kanewo-sen- No, I mean... the zombie menace, out of the academy!

議会　（一名）
committee (one person)

８回。。。？
8th…?

ああフラレた腹いせに？
Tajima: Oh, so you want revenge on him for dumping you?

フラレとらんし！！告ってもないっ！！　（まだ）
Rika: He didn't dump me! I didn't even confess!　(yet)

道徳観の問題と　だいたい少子高齢化国の経済問題だか知らないけど。
It's a question of moral outlook! Even though there are economic problems, and this country faces an aging population and falling birthrates,

ゾンビまで労働力にするなんて世の中間違ってるわよ！！
if they go as far as to make zombies part of the work force then there's really something wrong with the world!

しかも私立とはいえ学校にまでこうそりゾンビを雇い入れるなんて
Furthermore, zombies have been able to stealthily infiltrate even the schools, right under my nose!

入学説明会でいってたけど？
Didn’t they mention it at the opening ceremony, though?

一年も気づかないあんたが変だよ
It’s pretty weird that you didn’t realize it for an entire year.

と　とにかく！！私の平穏な心を。。。いや学園生活を取りもどすためにはあのゾンビを追い出すしかないの！！
Rika: A-Anyway! For my own peace of mind... no, to save the life of the academy, we need only to expel that zombie!

思いっきり私情じゃなねーか。。。
Tajima: She’s really baring her soul, isn’t she…

んー。。。まあ　リカがゾンビ苦手な理由知ってるから協力してもいいけど。。。
Mm… I guess. I know why you're sensitive about zombies, so I guess I'm fine with cooperating…

カネヲ先生追い出す方法は簡単だしね
but it'll be easy to get rid of Mr. Kanewo.

まじで！？
Rika: REALLY!?

ちょっと手かして
Tajima: Gimme your hand.

お手
hand

え？はい
Rika: Huh? Ok.

[008]

(sfx: GASH)

痛ー！！！？
Rika: OW!!!?

なっ。。。な何。。。？
Wh-Why... did you…?

はい　これで良し
Tajima: There. With that you’re good.

それ　カネヲ先生にされたって言えば良いんだよ
Just say that Kanewo-sensei did it and that’s that.

え？
Rika: Eh!?

ゾンビは人に危害加えられないように出来てるけど
Tajima: Zombies can’t normally harm humans,

もしもの時は即処分される決まりでしょう？
but if they do, the rule is they have to be punished right?

。。。田島
Rika: Tajima...

ん？
Tajima: Hm?

死刑です（あんた）
Rika: That’s would mean the death penalty! (You)

死刑なのかっ？何故！！？
Tajima: Wait, the death penalty?　Why！！?

お前はあれか！！極悪非道代官の類か何かか！！？
Rika: So you’re one of those, are you!? One of those inhumanly heinous magistrates from the Edo period!? Are you!!?

女子高生の分際で何てことおもいつきやがる！！
How could a female high school think of such a thing!!

Magistrate

リカが考えるっていったんでしょうが！！
Tajima: I just said what you were thinking, didn't I!!

じゃああんたならどうするのよ！！
So just what were YOU going to do?

¬。。。私？
Rika: Me?

それは。。。えーと。。。ほら！
Well, about that... umm…You know!

こんな感じ。
Something like this

これよ
This way

ある日。。。馬車っぽいものが先生。。。。いやゾンビを迎えに来て。。。マッチなんか売りつつ小さいおっちゃん７人ぐらいと静かに暮らす。。。
One day... something like a horse-drawn carriage will come and take away sens-I mean, the zombie... and then around seven dwarfs will come along selling matches, and they'll live happily...

馬車っぽいもの？なんだそれ！？
Tajima: something like a horse-drawn carriage!? What is that?

何か色々交ってるけどその妄想！！？
It seems like You're just mixing together a bunch of fantasies!!

７人ぐらい？何とだよ？
around seven? How many is it?

That’s definitely not possible!

何だ　結局リカはまだカネヲ先生の事好きなわけね。。。
What’s this? So in the end, you really do still like Kanewo-sensei, huh Rika?

あほらし。
Like an idiot

なっ違うわよ！！私はこの世で一番ゾンビが嫌いなのよ！！
Rika: Wha- No, you're totally wrong! I hate zombies more than anyone else in the world!

聞いてる！？
Are you even listening!?

なのに何で私があんなゾンビ野郎をまだ好きだなんて
And besides, why do you keep saying I'm in love with that zombie?

[009]
ほら　やるから
Tajima: Here. Give this to him.

な！？
Rika: Wha-?

何がほらだよ！！？
Rika: What do you mean here!?

何その落書き！？
What's with that terrible handwriting?

Paper
Kanewo: Miss Rika
Umbrella: Kanewo|Rika
Middle up: Rika
Middle down: Kanewo
Side text: He’s a zombie but I don’t mind.
Bottom text: (Son-in-law)

やめてよね！！こんな落書き小学生じゃあるまいし！
Stop it!! With that kind of scribbling, it looks like a middle schooler wrote it!

本当に。。。まったくこれは私が後で　処分するとして。。。
Really... Good grief... I'll have to deal with this later...

そうかこれがいわゆるツンデレって生物か。。。　メンドクセーな。。。
Tajima: So that’s how it is... such a tsundere thing to do. How irritating…

と　とにもかくにももうちょっと平和的な方法をー
Rika: A-Anyway, there must be a more peaceful way

何さわいでれんだ？
Male student: What's with all of this racket?

もう昼休みは終わるぞ
Afternoon break is over, you know.

はーはい
Rika: Y-Yes!

はーい
Tajima: O--K.

ん？
Male student: hm?

これは。。。？
What's this...?

リカ
rika
リカ
rika
リカ
RIKA

[010]
大丈夫？顔色よくないけど
Tajima: You okay? You don't look so good.

え。。。平気。。。
Rika: Yeah, I'm fine...

意地っぱり
(stubborn girl)

具会悪くなったら休めばいいのにあんた体育休まないよね
Tajima: If you don't feel good, you could have gym class off, but you never do.

だって　休んだら　体力つかないでしょ！
Rika: I told you, if I don’t take it, I'll never improve my stamina!

最近寝不足だったし昼にさわぎ過ぎたからかな。。。
I’ve been feeling tired lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been so busy in the afternoons…

次だよ
You're next. (it's the 40 meter)

自分の体が嫌いになる
I've started to hate my own body.

もっと私が強ければ
If I were only stronger...

ほ保健室に通うこともなかった
I wouldn't have had to go to the infirmary.

相変わらず速えーな。。。　
Runner: She's fast, as usual.

持久がないくせに。。。
Even though she's got no endurance…

先生を好きに　なる事も
Rika: and I wouldn't have started to like Mr. Kanewo...

それに　あんな。。。
Moreover, that kind of...

リカっ
Rika!

あんな事。。。にも。。。
something like that would...

[011]
。。。カ
...Ka

リカ。。。
Rika...

秘密にしよう
Paper bag: Let's keep this a secret.

ひ。。。みつ
Young Rika: A...secret?

２人だけの
Paper bag: Just us two.

秘密に。。。
Rika: A secret...

良かった　気がついたんですね
Kanewa: Oh, thank goodness. You've come to.

ぎゃああああああああああ
Rika: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAA

こここ何。。。！？カネヲ先生。。。いやゾンビが何でここに！？
Wh-Where...!? Kanewo-sensei... No! I mean, what is a zombie doing here?

えっと。。。僕は一応保健医なので。。。　何でと言われますも。。。
Kanewo: Erm... I'm the substitute nurse, so...　why did she say it like that…

ね。。。寝顔をモロ見られ。。。涎まで！！？
Rika: Wa… Was he watching me sleep? Did he see me drool?

何だかうなされていたようでしたので
Kanewo:What's that? You sounded like you were having a nightmare.

その上私ってば体操服ー！！！
Rika: And on top of it all, I'm still in my gym uniform!

リ。。。リカさん？大丈夫かなと思いまして。。。あの。。。
Kanewo: Ri…Rika-san? I was wondering if you were all right... that is…

もう嫁にいけないっ！！！
Rika: Now I can’t become a bride anymore!!!

な　何をどうしちゃったらそんな思考に！？
Kanewo: Wha-What happened to make you think of such a thing!?

とりあえず６時限が終わったら田島さんが迎えに来るそうなのでそれまで。。。
Anyhow, when 6th period ends, it seems Tajima-san is coming to pick you up, so until then...

[012]
放課後まで２人きり。
UNTIL THE END OF SCHOOL, IT'S JUST THE TWO OF US.

じょ冗談じゃないです。。。だ。。。わよっ！！こんな所には一秒だって。。。
Rika: I'm..I’m seriou-…I’m not screwing around! If I have to stay in a place like this another minute, I'll…

変な敬語。
Strange language

でも　ちゃんと休んでないとまた。。。
Kanewo: But- if you don't rest properly, it’ll happen again...

もう平気だから。。。ですよ！
Rika: I'm fine already, so... I really am!

あっ
Ah-

リ　リカさん！！？
Ri-Rika-san!!?

いくら何でもそんなお？？
No matter what she keeps on going!!

ーはい
There.

コプにならなくて良かったです
Kanewo: It's good there wasn't any swelling.

そ。。。それじゃ　私。。。
Rika: So...Well then, I'm-

右腕
Kanewo: Your right arm...

え？
Rika:Huh?

右腕のケガも見せてください
Kanewo: Please show me the injury on your right arm.

あ。。。別にこ。。。れは　どうでもよい　ですっ
Rika: Oh, that's really nothing, it's fine...

ダメです
Kanewo: That's no good.

僕はゾンビだけど保健医です
I may be a zombie, but I'm a nurse too.

[013]
ちゃんとみせてください
Kanewo: Please show it to me.

胸が苦らしい
Rika: My chest hurts.

こう見えて腕だけは確かなんですよ
Kanewo: I just want to make sure that your arm is okay.

でも違う
Rika: But, it’s different

きっと待病のほうだ
It's definitely some sort of a chronic disease...

この痛みは決して恋なんかじゃない
This pain is definitely not because of love.

思ったよりヒドイな！！
Kanewo: It's worse than I thought!!

これ。。。こうしたんですか？
This wound... what happened?

カネヲ先生にされたっていえば。。。
Rika: If you just say Mr. Kanewo did this...

こ。。。れは
It was...

極悪非道女高生代官に。。。
An evil, inhuman female high school magistrate...

代官　（女高生？）
Kanewo: Magistrate? (female high school?)

でも良かったリカさん一年前に比べて食い分元気になれたみたいで
But regardless, I'm glad. You seem to have become much healthier compared to last year, Rika-san.

最近保健室に来られない安心してたんですよ
You haven't been coming to the infirmary lately. It's really a relief.

この人はー
Rika: This person...

[014]
私が態度を変えたって変わらず優しい。。。
Even though I changed my attitude, he's still as kind as ever...

え？
Kanewo: Eh?

でも同じだ
Rika: But's it's all the same.

どうせゾンビなんてー
After all, he is a zombie...

リカさん？
Kanewo: Rika?

ゾンビなんか。。。
I...

だいきらい！！
I HATE ZOMBIES!!

リカさん！！
Kanewo: Rika!

Please watch this one-night dream show carefully.

すごいや！
Amazing!

何年ぶりだろう夜の街を散歩するなんて！
How long has it been that I’ve walked the city at night like this!

[029]
体も軽いぞ！　羽が生えたみたいだ！
And my body’s so light! It’s like I’ve sprouted wings!

隣にこんな美人いれば心も軽いよ
And with a beauty like you at my side, my heart is light too.

あらお口がお上手

あーびっくりした　あんなやつ放っておこう
That was a shock. Let’s leave that broad behind.

そうそうこれこれ　南海の孤島を探検するんだ
Yes, that’s the ticket. We’ll explore a lonely island in the southern sea.

[032]
未開の猛獣狩りが夢だったんだ　けがわを身にまとった野生的な美人をお供にしてね
Hunting wild game in the savage jungle was always a dream of mine. And to share the experience with a beautiful, wild woman who covers herself in skins too, of course.

What are you doing?! Don’t get in the way!

邪魔するわと浮気者！！
I will get in the way, cheater!!

[040]
だってしょうがないじゃないか　君は僕を残してずっと昔に死んじゃったんだもの！
Please, I can’t help it, can I? Because you died long ago and left me behind!

Was to make my wife jealous.

姉御遅いな～～
Sister’s late~~~

頑張って稼いでんのかな～～腹減ったな～
I wonder if she managed to earn some money... I’m so hungry~~

遠くにあるはずの山々が妙に近くに見え
The mountains that should be so far away look strangely close.

鼻の奥をつうんと刺す空気のにおい
And the scent of the air stings the back of your nose.

雪のにおいだ
It’s the scent of snow.

旅人よ荒野を捨て春までの宿を求めよ
“Travellers, abandon the wilderness and seek out shelter until spring.”

この大気の呼びに逆らうものには
Those who disobey this crying voice of the winds

遠からず寒さと飢えが追いついてくる
Will soon find themselves overtaken by hunger and cold.

きめっ

…Really.

こんな狩小屋に手を入れたあばら家で冬が越せるのか？
Will we be able to pass the winter in this tiny, run-down hunting shack we managed to find?

安心せい！人間ちゅうのはそ～簡単には死なんものじゃ！
Don’t worry! Humans don’t die so easily as that, you know!

[68]
心強いお言葉を給わりましてありがたいことで！
Thank you so much for gracing me with such comforting words!

いやいや礼には及ばんよ！
Not at all, no thanks necessary!

俺たちが街中で冬を越さず森に隠れ住むのも
The fact that we didn’t move into town for the winter, and instead hit out in the woods.

ひとえに
was completely

こいつらのせいだ
the fault of these two-

と～ちゃん！
Da~ddy!

と～ちゃんどした？
Daddy, what’s wrong?

元気だすだしおなかすいただし？わしら食べ物とってくるヘビがいいでしかそれとも虫がお好みでしか？
Not feel well, that is? Hungry, that is? We go get food for you. Snake is good, it is? Bug is liked with that, it is?

おまえたち実にいい子だね
You two are such good children, aren’t you~~~

[69]
孝行息子どもあっち行って遊んでろ！
Such responsible, loyal sons should go play over there!

。。。いったいどうして面倒見にゃならんおだ！？
Why in the world do I have to take care of those monsters!?

おまえさんがたすけたんじゃからなあ。仕方ないのお
Because you saved them. That’s just how it is.

そりゃそうだが！
Yeah, but…!

妖魔か何か知らんがてんで無害じゃねえか！
I don’t know much about demons, but there’s no way they’re harmless!

今はな
For now, at least.

前にも言ったがの　妖魔には人間にははかり知れない力がそなわっておる
As I said before, demons are gifted with powers beyond the ken of humans.

雷や地震を起こす力と同じ自然の生命力じゃ
They are the same as the powers that cause lightning and earthquakes, the “vitality of nature”.

[70]
成長する前に街や人に慣れて人間に関わるようになればロクなことにならんじゃろう
If they start to get familiar with town and people before they are mature, and become involved with humans, it won’t turn out well.

人間に悪さするってのか？
You mean they would cause harm to people?

その逆だってあるんじゃよ！
That’s the opposite of what I mean!

教訓
Here’s a lesson.

自分でまいたタネは
Grain you sow yourself,

自分で収穫するしかない
Can only be harvested yourself.

たとえ実がカラでもだ
Even if that seed is only a husk.

[71]
それでも前向きに生きる
So someone like me who lives for the future is wonderful…

いいか？これがウサギこれをつかまえるんだぞ！
Get it? This is a rabbit. This is what you catch!

やっぱムリか。。。
Guess it’s no good…

わしらはほんとは強いでし　だけどうさぎがもっと強いんだし　かみつくんだし
We really are strong, that is. But, rabbit is stronger, it is. And biting at us, it is.

わかったわかった　そ～気を落とすなって
I understand, I understand. Don’t get so down.

しっかしそのでしだしなまりど～にかならんおか？
But where did you pick up all the “it is, that is” stuff?

。。。よし　じゃおまえの名はデシ
…Ok. So, your name is “Itis”

こっちはダシだ
And over here is “Thatis”

[72]
デシ
Itis

ダシ
Thatis

デシ　ダシ
Itis thatis

あれ　よろこんでら。。。
Huh? They’re so happy…

もうちょっといい名がとかったかな？
Maybe I could have given them better names?

いい名じゃよ当人たちも気に入っとるじゃろが！
They are good names. The concerned parties seem to like them, anyway!

待て待て待て！！
Wait, wait wait!!

[73]
何度言ったらわかんだよ　焼いた肉なんか食っちゃダメ！おまえらはナマ！
How many times do I have to say it!? NO eating cooked meat! You guys get RAW!

自分たちばっかし
Keeping it all for themselves.

ねーわしらもうまいもんたべたいでし
We want to eat good food too, it is.

ねーひどいだし
That’s mean, that is.

文句を言うな！
Don’t complain!

立派な化け物になるためのしつけだぞ！　ほかの人間の側へ寄らない！たべものをもらわない！いいな？
It’s training so that you’ll become proper monsters! Don’t approach other humans! Don’t accept food! Get it?

むやみに甘えない！おまえらの寝床はあっち！
And don’t try to get me to spoil you! Your bed is over there!

うーやっぱ年寄りにゃ寒さはこたえるの！
Ugh- the cold really does to get to you when you’re old!

デシダシ　来い来い
Itis, Thatis. Come ‘ere.

[74]
おーぬくぬくじゃ
Ah- nice and cosy.

こらこら
Hey, hey!

あんたが人間になつかせちゃいかんと俺がせっかく。。。
If you have to make people get attached to you… Why, I’ll…

ひとついる？
Even just one?

まったくもー
Sheesh-

あ　あったかい
Mmm, warm

ラドレスは大陸でも南方だが
Ladress is on the south of the continent, but

その年は
That year…

ひどく寒い冬になった
The winter was bitterly cold.

[75]
今日は狩りはよした方がよくないかの
It’d be better to give up on hunting today.

風だけで大丈夫さ　何かあったらこいつらに連絡させるよ
It’s just the wind, it’s fine. If something happens, I’ll send these two to come tell you.

サイアムもし森の奥に入るなら
Saiam… if you happen to press deep into the forest…

谷向こうのハゲ山に近づいちゃいかんよ　あれは精霊丘とよばれるとるが
Don’t get close to the bare hill beyond the valley. It’s called the hill of spirits, and, so to speak,

いわば森のヘソでな
It’s the navel of the forest.

土地の悪い力が集まつとるよくない場所じゃ
The evil powers of the earth gather there, and it’s a bad place.

あんたもそうじゃデシもダシも近づけちゃならんよ！
This goes for you, but Itis and Thatis should keep away too!

ああわかった気をつけると
Yeah, I understand. I’ll be careful.

[76]
―あ～らら
Oh darn…

と～ちゃんヘタクソでし　だし
Daddy’s shot terrible, it is. That is.

仕方ねえだろドロナワ狩人なんだから矢がまっすぐ飛ぶようになっただけでもいいうちなんだぞ！
Of course it was! I’m only a hunter because I have to be! Just getting the arrow to fly straight is pretty good, in my opinion!

[077]
。。。へー　うまくなったなデシ
…Wow, you’ve gotten good, Itis.

やっぱ野性のカンかな
Maybe you do have wild instincts after all.

あ　おいダシ
Hey, Thatis!

勝手にいっちゃいかん！
You mustn’t go off on you own!

ようし雪辱戦だ行くぞ！
All right, it’s a rematch. Let’s go!

でし
It is!

[78]

吹雪いてきたか　そろそろ帰らんと。。。
It’s really snowing. We should go back.

あれダシは？あいつついて来なかったのか？
Huh? Where’s Thatis? Did he not come along?

しょうがないなあ
Here we go then. Tha---tis!

おおい！
Hey!

ダシ
Tha—tis!

ダーシ！
Tha--tis!

[79]
じーさんダシは？ダシは帰ってないか？
Old man, where’s Thatis? Did he come home?

いいやどうしたんじゃ？
No. What happened?

はぐれたんだ　捜したけど吹雪がひどくて。。。
We were separated. I looked for him, but the snow was too heavy…

俺もう一回行って。。。
I’m going out again…

サイアムもう無理じゃ明日じゃ！
Saiam, it’s no use! Go tomorrow!

けど。。。
But…

本来は野の獣じゃ凍死なんぞせんよ
He’s a creature of the wilds by nature. He won’t freeze to death.

[80]
ひでえ吹雪だったなあ
That was a terrible blizzard, wasn’t it.

まったくついてねえ　獲物ときたらこの変なもん一匹きりだしよ
Nothing much today. The only game to show up was this one strange little thing.

俺よばあちゃんからきいたことあんだが
You know, there’s something I heard from grandmother.

[81]
イヌワラシっつう化け物だよたぶんと　何でも肝やら骨やら薬になるんで高く売れるっくうだ
That’s a monster called a dogling, most like. The medicine they make from its skin and bones sells for a fortune.

へーえ？そいつが本当ならもうけもんだな
Really? If that’s true this is a real find.

-
っといけね！精霊丘に出ちまったぞ
… Oh no! We’ve come out by the hill of spirits.

ここについちゃロクな噂はきかねえ悪魔が夜集まるとか何とかー
I don’t believe the foolish rumors about this place. Demons flocking here at night and all that-

はやいとこ退散せにゃ。。。
Let’s just get out of here quick…

[082]
うわっ！？
Uwaa!?

目を覚ましやがった　あいてて
It woke up! Argh-

ピート！
It bit me!

この。。。　化け物め！
That… that monster!

[083]
キイイイイイ
KYIIIIIII

。。。ダシ？
…Thatis?

お　おおい
H- Hey

助けてくれえ。。。
Help me…

かくれてるんじゃよ
He’s just hiding.

！？
!?

どうした！？ひどいケガじゃないか！
What happened!? Those wounds are terrible!

。。。化け物にやられたんだ　嘘じゃねえよ小さい犬みたいな。。。
…A moster did it. It’s true! It looked like a small dog…

急にかみついてきやがったんで　前足ちゃん切ってやったんだ
It suddenly started snarling and biting, and then sliced off his foot

何？
What?

前足を。。。何だって？
His foot… What did he say?

そうしたら
And then…

[085]
急に牛ぐらいに大きくなりやがって　すごい爪で襲って来たんだ嘘じゃねえ！
All of a sudden, it got as big as a cow and started attacking us with its huge claws. It’s the truth!

おい　危ねえぞ！
Hey, hey! It’s too dangerous!

サイアム！
Saiam!

ダシ！
Thatis!

どこに隠れてる！？　とーちゃんだ出て来い！
Where are you hiding!? It’s daddy! Come out!

[086]
ダシ！
Thatis!

サイアム！
Saiam!

。。。俺のせいだ
…It’s all my fault.

あんたに何度も言われてたのに
Even though you kept telling me, I still...

。。。よくわからんが精霊丘の魔力が作用したのかもしれん。。。
…I don’t know exactly, but it might be a result of the demonic energies at the hill of spirits…

これを持っとかんと　あんたがわからんかもしれんよ
You should bring this. You might not understand, but…

。。。弓は下手なんだ俺。。。
…I’m not much of an archer…

もっと練習しときゃとかった
I should have practiced more…

[087]
一矢でみんな
I’ll try to end this all

終わるように。。。
With one arrow.

[088]

[089]
ダシ？なんでそんなに大きくなっちまったでしか？
Thatis? Why did you get so big like it is?

と～ちゃんとても心配してるでし
Daddy, he’s really really worried, it is.

はやくもとにもどるでしょ
Hurry, turn back to normal.

[090]
ダシ！　ダシ！
Thatis! Thatis!

[091]
デシ？デシか？
Itis? Is that you?

どうした　ダシがいたのか？
What is it? Was Thatis there?

デシほら　泣くなよ
There, there, Itis. Don’t cry.

血のあと。。。
Traces of blood…

[092]
。。。その冬のあいだ中
…during that whole winter

[093]
俺はダシを捜しまわった
I kept searching for Thatis.

心のすみでは出会わないことを願いながら
All the while hoping in my heart I wouldn’t find him.

もしかしたらひょうこり小さいままの姿で帰って来やしないかと
Maybe he’ll return to his small form and come home without notice, I thought.

わずかな望みも抱いていたのだけれど
I embraced such small hopes, but…

。。。おまえと冬をすごせて楽しかったよデシ　だけどもうお互い巣立ちの時だ
…It was wonderful spending the winter with you, Itis. But it’s about time we both need to stand on our own two feet.

[094]
淋しいときは人間でなく仲間を捜すんだそれから
If you get lonely, don’t rely on humans. Find your peers. And also,

今となっては悔いばかりが残るけれど
Now, all I have left is regret.

村里へ出ちゃだめだぞ！
You mustn’t go into the village!

元気でな
Take care

デシ
Itis

。。。ダシ
…Thatis

さようならー
Farewell-

Translation: Uika no Jiman no Oneesan Oneshot : Uika's worthy sister

2011-06-23T04:18:22+00:00

[01]

。。。はい
Here…

あー！ティオちゃん！
Ah! Tio-chan!

ありがとうういちおねーちゃん！
Thank you, Uichi!

。。。もう少し適当なところでなくして下さい
Please lose it in a slightly more suitable place next time…

お姉ちゃんはいつもあたしを助けてくれた
My sister always helped me out.

優しくて素敵で自慢のお姉ちゃんだった
She was kind and wonderful, a sister who made me proud.

。。。あんまり泣いているとはげますよ
If you cry too much you’ll go bald.

はげないもん！
I won’t go bald!

そしておねえちゃんは
And then, my sister…

[02]
だらだらニート姉がある日突然。。。！？
One day, her lazy NEET sister suddenly…!?
２１世紀の姉妹愛の形を問う感動（？）読み切り３０ページ
A moving tale that questions the form of 21st century sisterly love (?) Read it all in 30 pages!

初華の自慢のお姉さん
Uika’s worthy sister

どこに出しても恥ずかしいニートになった
Became a NEET who does nothing but embarrass me.

[03]
お姉ちゃん、土曜日だよ！土曜日は土を踏む日だよ
Sis! It’s Saturday! Saturday is the day you tread on Saturn’s good earth! (wordplay in Japanese- Saturday is “earth day” according to the characters used to write it, although it kinda works with Saturn being a harvest-ish god? The major planets, sun and moon match up with the days of the week in both English and Japanese if you equate norse and roman gods in the former system; Saturday is the only one where the latin rather than Germanic name is used.)

どこか行かないの？
Wanna go somewhere?

。。。初華さんは出掛けるんですか？
Are you going out, Uika-san?

。。。それなら適当に雑誌を三冊買ってきてくれませんか？
…If you are, would you mind buying me three more magazines while you’re at it?

自分で買いに行きなよ！
Go buy them yourself!

。。。お駄賃あげますから
I’ll give you a tip.

それお母さんからもらったお金じゃない
It’s not money you got from Mom?

お姉ちゃんのお金ならいいよ
If it’s your money, fine.

お小遣いとして貰った私のお金ですけれど
It’s my money I got as my allowance…

働いてって言ってるの！！
I’m telling you, go get a job!!

[04]
友達のお兄ちゃんやお姉ちゃんはみんなしっかりしてるんだよ！なのにお姉ちゃんはずーっと家でゴロゴロしてさ！
My friends’ older brothers and sisters are all working hard! But you’re always at home, just loafing around!

あたしお姉ちゃんのせいで友達も家に呼べないんだよ！
It’s your fault I can’t invite even my friends over to our house!

。。。別に私に気をつかわなくてもいいですけれど
You don’t need to worry about bothering me, you know.

つかってない！
I don’t!

お姉ちゃんが恥ずかしいから見せられないって言ってるの！
I’m saying, my sister is so shameful I don’t want to let anyone see her!

。。。あ。。。今日はゴミの日ですか？
…ah… is today trash day?

。。。初華さん。。。ちょっとゴミを出してきて下さい
Uika-san, would you go put the trash out?

だからそれくらい自分でしなって
Do at least that much yourself!

ブロロロ。。。
Vroom

。。。あ。。。行ってしまいましたか？
…Ah… Are they gone already?

[05]
。。。あ　初華さん　デジカメかりましたよ
…Ah, Uika-san. I borrowed your digital camera.

あ！
What?!

あたしの部屋に勝手に入ったの！？
You just barged into my room!?

なんで勝手に入るの！
How can you do that!

。。。デジカメは家族共用
…The camera is common family property.

じゃなくて！
(bkgr) No it’s not!

部屋に入ることをちゃんとあたしにことわってよ！
Just tell me before you go into my room!

。。。いませんでしたから
…You weren’t there.

。。。なっ
…What?

だってそれ。。。！
So then…

ゴミを。。。
Bkgr: The garbage…

う。。。　うぅう～～。。。！
Ugh… Ughhhh…

くやしい。。。くやしい！
I can’t take it… I can’t take it!

なんでこんな人がお姉ちゃんなの！？
Why is this person my sister!?

[06]
こんな暗くていい加減なお姉ちゃんなてー
A sister this gloomy and irresponsible is-

ゴタタ
Sfx: Badada

ドス
Sfx: bam!

カチャ。。。
Sfx: click

あさっきはごめんね初華ちゃん
Oh, I’m so sorry about earlier, Uika-chan.

ちょっと寝起きで調子が上がらなくて少し冷たい態度を取っちゃったねえ
I just got up and wasn’t feeling very energetic, and I guess I took a pretty cold tone with you.

[07]
でももう大丈夫！おかげですっきり目が覚めたよ！さぁ一緒に遊ぼう！
But I’m fine now! Thanks to you I’ve completely opened my eyes! So, let’s go have some fun!

へかああああっ
Sfx: shiiiiine

明るい！！
So bright!

頭でも打ったの？
Did she hit her head?

口調もなにかいつもと違う
Her tone of voice is somehow different from normal.

人って本当に頭打つだけでこんな変わるの！？
Can a person really change so much just from hitting her head?

えぇっと今日は土曜日？土を踏む日だっけ
Umm, today is Saturday? Saturday’s the day you tread Saturn’s good earth.

じゃあでかけよう！
So, let’s go out!

ほら初華ちゃん
Come on, Uika-chan.

い
n-

ドツ
Sfx: shove

やだ！！
No!!

あ
Ah

[08]
ふぃんっ
Sfx: whoosh

Sfx: thunk

あ痛っ
Ow

あれでも思ったより痛くないかも
But I don’t think it hurts as much as a I expected.

………………!!?

あしまった
Oh, great.

[09]
あくま！？
A demon?

うん　鏡の中をフラフラしていたんだけどお姉ちゃんのカメラに捕まっちゃって
Yeah. I had been hanging around inside the mirror, but I ended up getting caught in your sister’s camera.

カメラに捕まる？
Caught in the camera?

ぼくらは合わせ鏡を通るタイミングで写真を撮られると捕まっちゃうんだ
If we demons have our picture taken while we’re passing between facing mirrors, we get caught. So I ended up possessing your sister, who was being reflected along with me.

なにしてるの？
Bkgr: What was she doing?

２３歳にもなって合わせ鏡に写る自分を撮るお姉ちゃんに疑問があるよ
You have to wonder about a 23-year-old who still takes pictures of herself in double mirrors…

初華ちゃんお願いがあるんだけど
Uika-chan, there’s something I wanna ask you.

ボクはこうして外に出れたのは初めてなんだ　しばらくこのままでいたら駄目かなあ？
This is the first time I’ve ever been able to come to the outside world. Would it be okay for me to stay like this for a while?

ね？
Please?

。。。いいんじゃない？　お姉ちゃんはどうせ何もしないんだし
Doesn’t bother me. Sis doesn’t do anything anyway.

本当！？
Really!?

[10]
へにゃ
Sfx: grin

ありがとう初華ちゃん！
Thank you, Uika-chan!

お姉ちゃんの顔ってこういう表情もできたんだ
Sis could make that face too.

お。。。お姉ちゃんはどうなってるの？
Wh- What will happen to Sis?

ん？　んー。。。眠ってるって感じかなあ
Hm? Oh… I guess it’s like she’s sleeping.

じゃあ初華ちゃん！　早速外に遊びに行こう！
So, Uika-chan! Hurry up, let’s go have some fun outside!

ええ！？ちょっと待って！
Huh!? Wait a sec!

お姉ちゃんそんな格好じゃさすがにかわいそうだよ！
Sis, in that outfit you’ll look pathetic, like always.

そうなの？じゃあ着替えなきゃだ
Oh? Well, gotta change then.

[11]
こんな感じでどうかなあ？
How about something like this?

！？

そんなこともできるの！？
You can do that too!?

え？うん
Huh? Yeah.

ボクの魔力が及べる範囲なら
As long as I have enough magical energy.

すごいすごい！
That’s so awesome!

。。。。

初華ちゃんほら
Come one, Uika-chan.

ふえ？
Shall we?

ちょ。。。ちょっと
W- Wait-

あたしクツはいてなー！！
I don’t have shoes!!

[12]
！クツはいてる！
I’m wearing shoes!

気にするのそおちなの？
Do you like ‘em?

そお。。。
Hmmm…

これ魔法！？　なんでもできるね！
That’s magic!? You can do anything!

魔力が持つうちはね
As long my magical energy lasts, that is.

初華ちゃんボクは何か食べ物を食べてみたいんだけど
Uika-chan, I’d love to try eating some food…

お金はお姉ちゃんのがあるから多分平気だよ
As for money, I’ve got your sister’s, so we’re all set.

うん！　じゃあどこ行きましょうか？
Yeah! So, where should we go?

[13]
うわああ～。。。　美味しいねえ！
Mmmmm… so tasty!

そんなに？
Is it that good?

おぉ。。。甘い。。。！　初華ちゃん！これ甘いよ！
Oh… it’s sweet! Uika-chan, this is sweet!

悪魔くん静かに食べてよ！　恥ずかしい
Demon-kun, eat quietly! You’re embarrassing me…

あ　この服かわいい！　お姉ちゃんに似合うんじゃないかなあ？
Ah Those clothes are so cute! I wonder if they’d look good on Sis.

流石にそんなにお金ないよー
Although, of couse she doesn’t have enough money-

魔法は？　魔法でこれと同じ服にしちゃうの！
What about magic? Make the same clothes with magic!

怪しめる行為は控えるべきだと思うと
I think we should avoid calling too much attention to ourselves…

じゃあお家で着せ替えたいの？
Bkgr: So, wanna play dress-up at home?

[14]
まあ　こんなもんだよ
Well, there you go.

でかうさーっ！
A giant bunny!

わあ！ホントに取っちゃった！
Wow! You really caught it!

他にも取ろうか？
Shall I get another one?

いまぬいぐるみがアーム掴んでなかった？
Did the stuffed rabbit just reach out and grab the arm?

ううんこれだけでいい
Nope. Just this is fine.

ありがとうお姉ちゃん
Thanks, Sis.

アイス食べたい！
Oh! I want ice cream!

はいはい
Coming up.

[15]
楽しかったねえ
That was fun.

うん！
Mhmm!

お姉ちゃんと一緒に遊んだのひさしぶりだね！
It’s been such a long time since we’ve gone out together, Sis!

ごめん初華ちゃん
Sorry, Uika-chan.

キミに謝らなきゃいけない事があるよ
There’s something I have to apologize to you about.

[16]
あそうだ今はお姉ちゃんじゃなくて
Oh, right. It’s not Sis right now.

悪魔くんごめー
Sorry, Demon-

ボクがこのままお姉さんに憑依していると　お姉さんはボクに取り込まれて消えてしまうんだ
If I keep possessing your sister like this, she’ll be absorbed into me and disappear.

お姉さんの自我はとても弱いんだ　それはほぼ肉体に空白があるようなもので
Your sister’s sense of self is very weak. So much so, it’s like there’s a vacuum in her body.

ボクはその空白に収まってしまって離れる事ができずにいるんだ
I’m settling into that vacuum and I can’t break free.

単にボクをお姉ちゃんから祓う方法はいくつかある　けれどきっとボクみたいな弱い悪魔では消し去られてしまう
There’re a thousand simple ways to drive me out of your sister. But a weak demon like me would be annihilated in the process.

だからこのまあ体を乗っ取ってお姉さんに成り済ましてしまおうと思っていたんだ
So I planned to keep riding in your sister’s body, become her, and live as her.

。。。ごめん
…I’m sorry.

ごめんなさい
I’m so sorry.

[17]
。。。いいんじゃないかな
…That’s okay, I guess.

。。。それでも
…besides,

。。。。え？
….eh?

だってお姉ちゃんどうせなにもしないんだし
Like I said, Sis doesn’t do anything anyway.

あれ　そういう話かなあ？
Huh? Is that how it is?

悪魔くんの方が明るくて
You’re more lively

優しくて
nicer…

これはそういう事じゃなくて
That can’t be

お姉ちゃんらしいし。。。
More sisterly…

お姉ちゃんをー
Let Sis…

[18]
。。。本当？
…Really?

本当にいいの？
Is it really okay?

聞かないで
Don’t ask.

。。。うん
…yeah

あたしにそんなことを聞かないでよ
Don’t ask me that.

ありがとう。。。！　ありがとう初華ちゃん！
Thank you…! Thank you, Uika-chan!

あのさ。。。お姉ちゃん
Hey… Sis,

[19]
また来た時みたいに飛んで帰ろう？　あたしもう一度飛びたいなあ
Can we fly home, like we did on the way out? I wanna fly again.

うん！
Yeah!

任せてよ　初華ちゃん！
Just leave it to me, Uika-chan!

ほら　来た時よりずっと高く！
Look! We’re flying even higher than before!

そうだよ
That’s right.

こんなお姉ちゃんきっと他にいない
There’s no sister better than this.

明るくて優しくて魔法だって使える
She’s lively, kind, and can use magic.

自慢のー
A sister I can be proud-

[20]
クツが
My shoes-

これ魔法！？なんでもできるね！
That’s magic!? You can do anything!

魔力が持つうちはね
As long as my magical energy lasts, that is.

悪魔くんの魔力が
Demon-kun’s magical energy

切れー
Is running out

。。。っ痛ぅ
…Ow

。。。う。。。ん？どこここ？
Mmgh? Where are we?

助かった？
Are we safe?

あ。。。おねえちゃ。。。
Uh… Sis…?

あたしは
I’m

おねえ。。。
Sis…

ちゃ。。。
Sis…?

本当にバカだ
So stupid.

[22]
あ。。。あああ。。。！うわああああっ！！
Aa…Aahh! Uwaaaaa!!

そうだこういう事なんだ
That’s right. This is how it is.

お姉ちゃんが消えるっていう事はいなくなるっていう事は
That my sister would disappear, meant she would cease to be.

お姉ちゃん！！
Sister!!

そういう事じゃなかったのに
And even if it weren’t

あたしは
I only

自分のことばっかりで
thought of myself.

[23]
悪魔くんがなんであんな話をしたのかも
I wonder why Demon-kun told me.

ねえお姉ちゃん！
Hey, Sis!

分からないよぉお。。。！
What’s wrong…!

まったく考えないままで
It must have been without thinking.

ねぇえっ！
Hey!

お願いします
Please

起きて。。。！起きてよぉ！
Wake up…! Wake up!

誰かお願いしますから
Somebody, I’m begging you,

ああああっ誰かぁ！
Aaaaahh! Somebody!

もう一度チャンスを下さい
Give me another chance.

誰かぁ！　お姉ちゃんを。。。
Somebody! Save my sister…

お姉ちゃんを！
My sister…!

もう一度チャンスをくれたなら
If you give me another chance

きっと間違えませんから
I won’t mess it up.

お姉ちゃんを助けてよぉ！！
Please help my sister!!

[24]
ティオちゃ。。。
Tio-chan…

初華ちゃん！
Uika-chan!

[25]
かわああああああ
Whaaaaaaaaa!

ひゃあああ！たすっ。。。だれ。。。
Hyaaaa! Someone… help…

うわあああ！
Uwaaaa!

あれぇ？
Huh?

待って待って　ボクだよ！　悪魔だよ！
Wait, wait! It’s me! Your demon!

！？え
Eh!?

だって
But…

お姉ちゃんから離れられないって
You said you couldn’t break free from my sister…

ああうんつまり
Ah, yes… that is,

それってお姉ちゃんが
So then Sis is-

しー
De-

[26]
。。。初華さん。。。あんまり泣いているとはげますよ
Uika-san. You’ll go bald if you cry so much.

[28]
。。。そろそろ帰りましょうか
Shall we go home?

血も止まりましたし
The bleeding’s stopped.

序力もそこそこ回復したし
Her strength’s about back to normal.

そうだねさっき騒いじゃったし人が来ないうちに
Yes, let’s. We made a quite a racket, so we should go before people start showing up…

うるさいなぁ
Shush

大体　悪魔くんがあんな話を深刻ぶって話すからいけないんじゃない　お姉ちゃん普通に戻ってきたよ
It was awful of you to tell that story so seriously earlier. Sis did turn back to normal.

いやぁ実際深刻だったんだよ？さっきの一件で宇一のじ我が強まっていなかったらどうなっていたか
Was I really that serious?. As circumstances were, if Uichi’s selfhood hadn’t strengthened, who knows what could have happened?

強くなった？　頭打ったから？
Gotten stronger? Because she hit her head?

ひどいなキミは
You’re pretty mean.

宇一も優しいお姉さんだったって事だよ
It’s because Uichi is also a kind sister.

まあ完全には離れられなくてまだ繋がっているんだけどね
Well, we’re not completely separated. We’re still linked, actually.

？離れてるじゃない
? But you are separated, aren’t you…

ええと何と言うかつまり。。。
Umm, sort of. That is…

[29]
こういう事なんだけど
See what I mean?

。。。魔女になりました
She’s turned into a witch!

。。。魔女。。。かなあ
…I guess you could say witch.

これお姉ちゃんが飛んでるの？
So Sis is flying?

。。。一応
…for now

わあ！お姉ちゃんすご。。。っ
Whaa! You’re so awesome…

「魔法が使えるし」
She can use magic

あ
Ah

あの。。。お姉ちゃん
Umm, Sis?

ごめん
I’m sorry

。。。初華さん
…Uika-san

[30]
。。。今度
…next time

。。。服を買いに行きましょうか
Let’s go buy some clothes.

。。。あ
…Ah

。。。うん！
…Yeah!

あたしは
I have

優しくて素敵な
A kind and wonderful sister

自慢のお姉ちゃんがいます
Who makes me proud.

次は就職
Next: looking for a job!

…一度にいくつも撮れて便利かと思ったのですけれど
I thought it would be useful to be able to take so many pictures at the same time…

でもそれどれも同じ顔だよ？
But it would be the same face over and over, wouldn’t it?

正面向いてないし
And it’s not a frontal view anyway.

履歴書の写真くらいちゃんとしたとこで撮りなよ！
If you’re taking your resumé headshot, do it somewhere tidy!!

第11話　子兎神石に捕まること
Chapter 11: In which Shao Tsu is caught in a spirit stone

[04]

押しかけ弟子なんざ迷惑な話だ教えることなんかあるもんか
So, you’re my uninvited apprentice? What a bothersome story. I wonder if I even have anything to teach you.

こらなんだってそんなに笑うんだい変な奴だねえ
What’s with you, smiling like that? You’re an odd one, aren’t you?

[05]
あたしは出かけるよ子兎　いたけりゃ部屋の掃除ぐらいしておきな
I’m going out, Shao Tsu. If you want to stay here, clean the room.

いってらっしゃい姉御
See you, sis!

というわけでオレは留守番の子兎さ
And so, I’m the housesitting Shao Tsu.

誰だいあんた姉御に何か用かい？
Who are you? Do you have some business with Tenome?

[06]
お届け物でございます
I have a package.

ここに置いていきますよ
I’ll leave it right here.

おーい待ってよいったい誰からの届け物だよ！
He-y! Wait! A package from who!

ヒヒヒヒ
Hi hi hi hi

[07]
オリャ包を開けてみたんだ
I opened the parcel to see what was inside.

そいつは皿の上に乗った小さな山みてえな岩の置物で
It was a statue, a small rock that looked like a mountain set on a plate.

よく見ると小さな滝まで流れてやがるのさ
If you looked hard, there was even a small stream flowing down it.

[08]
へー面白え
Whoaa. Amazing

あ。。。あれ？
Hu-Huh?

[09]
ここ。。。何処だろ
Where… can I be?

オリャいつのまにこんなところにいるんだろ？
When did I get to a place like this?

[10]
は！
Hah!

[11]
ひえええ！
Hieeee!

ひゃああ！！
Hyaaa!!

[12]
何がなんだかわからねえオリャ夢中で逃げまわったんだ
Whatever it was, I don’t know. I just ran in a daze.

[13]
ここは昼も夜もないから何日逃げまわったのかもわからねえ
This place had no night or day. I don’t even know how many days I ran.

[14]
なあ姉御！ここはいったい何処なんだよ！？
Hey, Tenome! What the heck is this place?

[15]
何処って決まってるだろう　おまえは岩の置物の中にいるのさ
Where, you say? It’s obvious, isn’t it? You’re in the the statue.

こいつは昔　神仏がこしらえた神石さ魔性の物を吸い込んで封じ込める力があるさ
It’s a spirit stone made by the gods long ago. It has the power to absorb demons and seal them away.

そこにいる魔物たちはみんな　その神石に吸い寄せられて閉じ込められた奴らさ
So the demon guys in here were all attracted to the stone and then got shut in it?

オ。。。オレも魔物なの？
Am I… Am I a demon then?

でも姉御はなんで吸い込まれねえんだよ？
But why aren’t you sucked in by the stone?

はんあたしはそんな小物じゃないよ
Hmph. I’m no such a small being.

[16]
人に届いた荷物を勝手に開けるからそんな目に逢うのさ
This is what you get for opening packages sent to other people.

だ。。。大体誰がこんな物送ってきやがったんだよ！
Bu… but who sent a package like this in the first place!

ふんここにいるワンの旦那だよおまえの元のご主人さ
Hm. It was Mister Wan. He’s here now, your former master.

ホッホッホ　どうにもこの姉御のことがあきらめきれなくてね
Ho ho ho. I just couldn’t let this young lady go, you know.

まさか替わりに子兎がワナにかかるとは思わなかったが
But I never thought you, Shao Tsu, would be caught in my trap instead.

[17]
まあいいさ　さあ可愛い弟子を助けたけりゃわしに思いを遂げさせておくれ
Ah well. Now, if you want to save your poor apprentice, you’ll let me do what I want.

くそーっ　このヒゲブタ野郎！！
Damn it! You dirty mustached pig!!

ふん勝手に押しかけてきやがって迷惑してたんだどうなろうと知ったこっちゃねえが
Hmph. You were the one who meddled uninvited in my affairs, although I suppose you didn’t know what would happen.

仮にも弟子を名乗る子供を見捨てたといわれちゃ手の目姉御の女がすたる
I would disgrace the name of Tenome if I abandoned an apprentice, even a little child who merely took up the name on his own.

姉御！
Sister~~!

[18]
面倒ははぶこうじゃねえか　旦那のお望みはわかってらあ
Let’s spare each other the trouble, shall we? I know what you want.

さあ寝台へおいでな
So, come to bed.

[19]
ホホホ！話が早いね気に入った
Ho ho ho! To the point. I like it.

だめだい姉御　そいつはいけねえや！
Sister, no! With him? You can’t!

やめとくれよ　オリャ　ここで結構だ化け物どもと仲良く暮らすからよ！！
Stop it, please! I- I’m fine here. I’m getting along with the monsters just fine!!

ヒヒヒ　白い肌だねえ
Hi hi hi. Such white skin…

ああれ？
Ah… Huh?

[20]
わ！わ！
Wah! Wah!

ぐ。。。ぐるぢい
Agh… Id urts….

さあワンの旦那にはシーツと遊んでてもらうさ帰るよ子兎
So, let’s let Mister Wan here play with the sheets. You’re coming home, Shao Tsu.

[21]
わあああ～～！！
WAAAH!!

あ。。。あの　姉御　オレ　ここからもう出られねえのかい？
Er… Um, Sister? Is it still possible from me to get out of here?
なあにでられるさ
Of course you can get out.

[22]
ちょっと待ちな
Just wait a minute.

え？え？ちょっと待って何を
Eh? Eh? What do you mean wait-

[23]
へ？何これ？
Eh? What is this?

こんなんででられるの？
I got out just like that?

そこどきな
Get out from there.

他にも何か落ちてくるみたいだ
It looks like some other things are falling out.

へ？
Eh?

[24]

[25]

[26]
姉御～～化け物どもも出てきちまったよ！
Sister! The other monsters escaped too!

しょうがなえよ　おまえだけを外へ出すわけにもいかねえしな
Can’t be helped. There was no way to get just you outside.

まあどうせこの世は百鬼夜行さ　少しばかり妖物が増えたって同じことさ
Well, hundreds of monsters prowl the nights of this world anyway. Adding just a few more, it’s all the same thing.

姉御の怖いくらいに婀娜な笑顔を見て　オレはあらためて惚れなおした”押しかけ弟子“は間違いなかったぜ
After seeing Sister’s almost frightening, coy smile and thinking about it, I was certainly her infatuated “uninvited apprentice”

But I mustn’t look at that.

[145]
もしもあれの顔を見たなら
If I look at that thing’s face…

[146]
あれってなんだい？

どうして顔を見ちゃいけないのかな？
Why mustn’t you look at its face, I wonder?

ああ。。。それはね
Well, you see…

If I look at its face, I’ll wake up from this dream.

全部あなたが見せている夢なのよ！！
This is all a dream that you’re making me have!

We’re both still on top of the sea, miss.

ああそうだ。。。あたし海に投げ出されたのだったわ　船が沈んだ時に

Danzai no Ake (Crimson judgment)

Mamiya Reiko-san… my head is still here

[02]
The school I go to, Tokoyogahara’s foremost high school,

Is secretly feared, and every tries to keep away from it.

There’s a ghost story about it called “Mamiya Reiko’s head”

Side bar: A nightmare begins…

But it’s a true story.

A long time ago, there was a student at this school named Mamiya Reiko.

This girl was troubled about a certain thing. One of her own classmates, a female student like herself, harbored an intense, unrequited love for her.

They had been only friends- but now Mamiya Reiko no longer saw this girl even as that, and rejected her and everything about her.

[03]
Spurned by the person she loved, and having no way to release her feelings, the despairing girl…

One day called Mamiya Reiko to the back of the school building.

The girl killed her and cut off her head.

Carrying Mamiya Reiko’s head in her arms, the girl climbed to the fourth floor of the school

And along with the head, jumped out of a classroom window.

However,

At the site of the suicide, the only thing left over was a single body without a head.

[04]
In other words, between Mamiya Reiko and the girl

Two heads went missing.

The rumour became a ghost story in a flash, and spread throughout the school.

They say the girl’s head was dragged to hell by Mamiya Reiko, through her hatred at being murdered.

A short time later,

The ghost story was embellished with other mysterious details.

Sakashita!! I’m glad I caught you.

Tachibana-sensei!

Sorry to keep you from getting home… Can I ask you to do something for me?

The staff meeting’s already started.

Tomorrow I’m giving supplementary lessons for class A, but I don’t think there’ll be enough desks.

There are usually a few extras in the fourth-floor classroom. Could you run up and confirm how many there are for me?

[05]
Sure… Why me? Great…

that classroom…

Thanks, you’re a great help!!

Oh

Sakashita!

Even if it’s probably not true…

Don’t test out that ghost story.

If you are in the classroom that the girl jumped out of holding the head (which currently isn’t used and has been changed into a storeroom)

And say the words that were used to call Mamiya Reiko to her death

They say Mamiya Reiko will actually appear.

[06]
………….!?

[07]
…What could she possibly be doing in this infamous classroom…

Unless she’s completely ignorant…

…? Is she saying something?

Mamiya Reiko, Mamiya Reiko

It’s too late, my body is engulfed in the darkness of the night.

But my head is still here.

Those are… The words to call Mamiya Reiko…

[08]
So…Sorry for surprising you. What are you doing?

Ehehe… not much.

I just had some plans with Mamiya Reiko.

….!?

I’m Nanatsuka Akane. Nice to meet you.

I’m Sakashita Tomomi, a second-year.

…Nanatuska…hmm…I’ve heard that somewhere…

It… It’s getting dark. We’d better leave the classroom.

Do we have to… I guess I’ll test it again next time.

[09]
Mamiya Reiko

Mamiya Reiko

It’s too late, my body is engulfed in the darkness of the night.

But my head is still here.

[10]
What!? What is this… The front entrance is already closed.

…I guess we’ll have to go out the back door.

Um… Nanatsuka-san… you’re not a transfer student, are you?

Akane’s fine.

I’m not a transfer student, I just came today because I had plans.

Plans…

Don’t tell me… meeting Mamiya Reiko?

Tomo-chan, why did you come to this classroom?

Tomo-chan… She moves fast.

Oh, my homeroom teacher… Tachibana-sensei asked me to do him a favor…

[11]
Somehow…

It’s oddly quiet… and there aren’t any signs of people around. I thought it was still around 5:00 or so…

Wait, seriously!? Even the back door is locked!!

What is going on today…

Is this because of the air… It’s unusually dark outside too…

No other choice, I guess… it’s probably still the middle of their meeting, but we could get the key from the staffroom…

[12]
Just now… there was a person there…!?

Maybe they might have a key.

Huh? Must be the atmosphere.

Sorry. I’m going to get the key after all. Um… Wait here, Akane.

Mhmm.

[13]
It’s so dark… the lights are out everywhere… something’s strange…

Waa!?

That was startling… A… A mirror?

She killed her and took the head…

I’ve got to get to the staffroom quickly…

…? What’s that? Someone’s watching me from the classroom…

[14]
Kyaha

Kyahaha

A head…!?

Hyee!!!

[15]
Kyaa!!

Run away…

Kukukuku

You must run away…

No!! Someone…

What was that… A head… A ghost…!?

No way… Mamiya Reiko’s head…!?

[16]
Akane… Did she really call out Mamiya Reiko…!?

Wait…

This door is locked too…!!

It’s so dark inside…

There’s nobody here…!?

Tachibana-sensei said there was a staff meeting… That was only 30 minutes ago, wasn’t it…!?

A pitch-black classroom…

A presence that suddenly disappears…

Doors that won’t open…

And then… that… girl’s head…

Something… Something’s happening here!

[17]
I want…

Your body…

I heard it! Just now, I definitely…

My phone…!! I’ll contact someone…

Pururu Pururu

It’s not here…

I only have a head, you see…

I want… a body! Kyaha

[18]
No!

Ah

Blood-covered hedge clippers…!?

What is… this… my body…

I can’t… move…!?

[19]
Kyaha

Kyahaha

Kyahahaha

You have a beautiful body… I’m jealous…

Perfect.

It’s perfect for me.

Wait… This can’t be happening!

[20]
Akane!!!

Kyahaha

I’ll kill you…

certainly…

Kyahaha

[21]
What… What is that…

It couldn’t really be…

Tomo-chan

You have surprisingly cute underwear.

Wh… Why, you!! This isn’t the time or place…

Are… Aren’t you scared!?

We… We’ve gotten into something dangerous, haven’t we!?

Hmmm… Well… I’m just used to it, I guess.

Used to it…

Wait a minute… I feel like… I’ve seen you somewhere before…

[22]
That’s it. That magazine that was left in the classroom… I saw your name and face in it!

I’m a medium on the side.

The high school girl with spiritual powers, Nanatsuka Akane!!

I’m honored that you’ve heard of me.

It is you!! Nanatsu Akane!!

Who in spite of her youth has solved countless mysterious cases…

Aww, it’s not that impressive.

The article said the reason she’s able to do what she does so young is because of a family secret…

I wonder what that secret is…

By the way, why is such a famous person as you at a school like this?

To meet with Mamiya Reiko.

There was a request.

[23]
Your Tachibana-sensei is actually from a family of mediums. He’s my uncle.

…So, he asked me to come investigate the story of the ghost at this school.

Tachibana-sensei…? I had no idea…

Though the fact he believes in ghosts…

But more importantly, what are we going to do about this situation…

You really did call Mamiya Reiko, right!?

She’s still here, because of the grudge she held about being killed…

The idea that the souls of people who die unexpectedly can’t pass on because of lingering regret is widespread, but… In reality, the power of that person’s funeral ceremony pushes them on, and in most cases they can go to heaven.

But in cases where they’re bound by very strong emotions… Those feelings can become shackles.

For example, the search for something precious they lost…

Or leaving behind feelings of lust, or a particularly strong attachment.

[24]
The other girl’s case is the same. Those kinds of emotions are holding her soul in this school.

In this school…

So then, let’s find a way to get outside!! Then we’ll be safe, right!? In any case, I’m not just going to stay in that classroom and get caught up in something and maybe killed!

I understand.

It’ll be all right.

I’ll proect you, Tomo-chan.

Uh… ok…

What is this… No matter how you look at it, she’s younger than me, but this girl… even in a situation like this she’s calm.

It’s no use… the windowpane won’t even budge…

Just what is going on!?

[25]
More than getting out, it might be better to try thinking of a way to get to her side…

That’s dangerous!! Getting that close…

Dealing with that sort of lot is my specialty.

If somehow we can catch her…

[26]
Wah!!

Akane!!?

Watch out! She’s close…

We’re going up!!

Ok

The fire doors!?

[27]
Go!!

Tomo-chan…

Akane!? What… Are you ok!?

I’m fine. Just get out of here, Tomo-chan!!

…My arm!

I can’t get it out!!

Kyaha

Kyahahaha

Die…

DIE!

[28]
Kyaha…

How does it feel?

I’m going to cut off your head…

I’ll throw it off the roof of the school…

Kyahaha

[29]
You should stop now.

If you do this, you’ll be left in this world, and even though your malice will live on,

Hell is only opening wider for you.

KYAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If you’re going to beg for mercy, you should be more polite about it!!

[30]
You…

What did you try to do?

Ha

Haa…

Haa… Ha…

It was… really true… the story of Mamiya Reiko.

[31]
Your body… would be perfect for me…

So she’s seeking the body she lost after death…

That would be the strong emotion acting as the shackles Akane was talking about.

…Eh?

The need to search for something lost is what’s holding that ghost in this world… Akane said something like that.

But what about Mamiya Reiko? She was killed, but it wasn’t her body that was taken away… What about her head? But then why does it want a body…

Something’s strange…

Wait a minute… I think Akane said something about this… Something about how the ghost is left in this world…

For example, searching for something lost…

Leaving behind feelings of lust or strong attachment…

[32]
She’s wrong!!

It’s not here… I only have a head, you see…

I want… a body!

She’s wrong!!

That

That ghost…

Akane…!!

What should I do!?

Even if she’s a medium, she’s still a high schooler… If she’s here… she might be killed!

No matter what we do, those two can’t leave the school…!!

Staying here, I’m at least safe, but Akane might be in danger!

[33]
I’ve got to think of a way to at least save Akane…

That’s it!!

Mamiya Reiko

Mamiya Reiko

I’ll call them here…

It’s too late, my body is engulfed in the darkness of the night…

It won’t be much, but in the meantime Akane might be able to escape…

But my head

Is still here.

Kyahaha

That body…

You’ve decided to give it to me…?

Hii!!

Wh…

Who who do such a thing!

You’re not Mamiya Reiko…

You’re the student who killed Mamiya Reiko and then committed suicide…!?

Two heads that disappeared…

People attributed the grudge that was left behind to Mamiya Reiko, but that’s wrong!

In order to make Mamiya Reiko your own possession, you cut off her head and kept it…!

But you weren’t satisfied with just the head.

Even after death, you continued to be connected to Reiko’s body!!

[36]
You’re completely right.

That’s my Tomo-chan.

Akane! You were all right!

Yeagh, I just got myself a little sliced up.

That blood…

What you want is Reiko’s body, right!? Me and Akane have nothing to do with this!!

Kyaha. What are you saying?

That girl tried to get close to Reiko, so I just tried to kill her.

I never needed the body of a girl like that…

[37]
What…

Kyahaha!

I promised, didn’t I?

That I would protect Tomo-chan.

Akane…

Even if …

You are a ghost.

Eh?

Guu…

You killed a classmate and cut off her head for the sake of one-sided love…

And then if even in death if you gave up your body, in return you could stay in this world!

That way, you could keep here tied to this school forever.

Let go!!

Sorry, Tomo-chan.

The doors of the school were never locked.

You are bound to the school, and so you couldn’t leave.

Kyahahaha Reiko, come this way.

Are you listening!?

Akane… What is this thing saying?

Tomo-chan…

Mamiya Reiko…

Is you.

[40]
After death, after being bound to the school for many years and unable to move…

In order to flee from this reality, you deliberately made yourself forget you were Mamiya Reiko.

What are you saying!!

I’m Sagashita…

Uncle Tachibana

Showed me the enrollment roster.

A student named Sagashita Tomomi doesn’t exist.

That’s nothing but one of the names you created for yourself.

[41]
12 years ago, you were killed in this school.

Reiko.... Kyahahaha

Shut up.

It’s here.

Your welcomer.

You didn’t notice the fact that the blood that fell on the floor is gone?

Her blood… it’s like rippling water…

[43]
At the same time my family developed their spiritual powers, we made a blood pact with the judges of hell.

The blood of a contracted person like me… all belongs to them.

Thus, any blood of mine that trickles down can be sent all the way to hell.

And when it finally reaches them

They appear in this world.

Shall I tell you what their sustenance is?

The blood of the contracted, and…

The sould of the tainted condemned.

Gii…

Let me go!!

Reiko!

You won’t be able to see Reiko any more.

I won’t let you.

[45]
Ponder it in the depths of hell.

Aaaahh…

[46]
When we borrow the powers of those who are the masters of Hell…

Or our own powers as mediums…

When we call on them, the huge amount of blood they take makes it difficult…

I’m sorry, Tomo-chan.

I didn’t want to shock you too much… I wanted to tell you the truth after she was dealt with, but…

[47]
Sagashita Tomomi… doesn’t exist.

I’m Mamiya Reiko.

I’ve remembered.

Twelve years ago, I…

It’s all right.

The nightmare is over.

The story of Mamiya Reiko’s head

Was something I made up after I died.

No one could realize that I existed.

Unable to do anything…

Board: The spell to call out Mamiya Reiko
It’s too late, my body is engulfed in the darkness of the night.
But my head is still here.

I understand.

It’s too late, my body is engulfed in the darkness of the night.

But my head is still here.

That was… the message you wanted to send from your heart.

[49]
It was spread around as a ghost story, until finally it reached me that there was a grudge here.

I’m glad no one else tried it out.

If they had, she would certainly have killed them.

It was good that the first person who tried was you, Akane.

Hey, that’s mean!

I’m glad that the one who saved me…

Was you.

[50]
I’m going now.

See you later, Akane.

See you later…

Mamiya Reiko.

[51]
they say they found the body of a 16 or 17 year old girl deep below ground at the site of the suicide.

So Mamiya Reiko is finally freed.

I wondered what I would do if I saw her wandering around… I’m glad I left it to you.

I mean…

Because I knew you had come to school that day…

I met Sagashita… no, Mamiya Reiko, and sent her to the fourth floor.

Getting her involved in this… it could have been a failure.

But it was a success. When I called on Mamiya Reiko, that girl appeared.

It was lucky… That the ghost story had that power.

[52]
She’s able to enter the most frightening and gruestome sites without fear.

Akane. You’re really a first-class medium.

I just want to save those I can save to the best of my abilities.

Whether they’re people… or ghosts.

Though your power is pretty sacreligious.

Calling on hell, that is.

Ok, it’s class time. Wanna come along?

I’m leaving.

Shut up!

By the way… The one who left that magazine with me in it in the classroom was you, wasn’t it, Uncle Tachibana!?

Hey, can’t I be proud of my famous niece?

Stop it, you’re embarassing me!!

第二話　沈黙の市
Chapter 2: the Market of Silence

[36]

That night, a pale moonbeam arched

across the sky at the edge of the forest

Living on the road again without any place to stay

What am I doing…

Why did I decide to go on a journey with a guy like this?

Hey, a man is starving over here-

Oh, oh! It’s that forest. That way, that way!

[37]
Wow, what dizzying scenery! Old man, old man! Are you serious about this?

Don’t worry. Long, long ago this forest was called the “Forest of Bliss” !

Really? Imagine that. So, what about now?

Ah… let’s try going through here, towards the west!

What do they call it now!

[38]

The Pitchblack Forest, Modiviz.

Good-bye! I’m going off to some town, getting married and keeping goats!

Come, wait a minute, Saiam. The territory to the west of here, Ladress, has been the center stage of history since mythological times.

I want to go sightseeing there!

For a sage, there doesn’t seem to be any point to your journeys!

Oh, look!

A stone monument in a place like this!

Hmm, what could it be!

At the eastern entrance of Modiviz, the “Immortal old woman’s monument” was erected.

[39]
Immortal, it says.

In a situation like this, I’d like to avoid that subject.

Long ago, when the whole land of Ladress was engulfed in the flames of war, villagers fled to the east.

It happened that an old woman, too much of a burden, was buried alive.

Buried alive!?

Don’t repeat what I’m saying!!

The villagers also buried a hen with her.

because

They believed that those buried while still living would live for hundreds of years in the earth.

According to legend,

The old woman staved off hunger undergound by eating eggs

Even now, they say she is living and waiting.

[40]
for the day that someone will dig her up

[41]

[42]
Kyaa! Kyaa! Kyaa! Kyaa!

Why’d you scream like that!? You can’t have been surprised!

I love spooky stories, but I’m still scared of them!

…can’t nod off

Hey, old man. It’s your turn.

Hey, Lord Grant Leauvas! O Great Teacher!

[43]
Sheesh, nothing works. He’d better be on watch against me.

Wake up~~ The cry of a chicken comes up from the earth…

Don’t startle your elders! You tried to scare me, didn’t you!

No! It wasn’t me!

Maybe we misheard?

Please let it be that…

No, it was definitely just a wild bird

[44]
Get down!

It’s a monster! A monster!

Calm down, old man. They’re humans!

Hyaa!

[45]
Looks like they brought some birds or goats.

And that man has some cloth

A merchant caravan, perhaps?

Why are they in such a remote forest like this…

Those people look like they might be interesting fellows!

H- Hey!

Wait, it’s dangerous…

Shh!

Where did all these people come from?

I’m heading down!

What is this?

A marketplace?

[47]
Why in the middle of the night like this-

It looks like the shadows are buying and selling with each other

Without a doubt, this must be the “Market of Silence”

They say it’s an underground goblin market-

Those who live for one reason or another hidden in the mountains and forests,

Robbers and criminals trying to avoid attention

Come together and sell everything from daily necessities to forbidden goods amongst themselves.

I see… I guess even thieves need underwear and soap…

If you were to raise a fuss or act suspiciously, its THIS before you know it.

Hey, hey, hey.

Still, it’s strange

Onions next to precious jewels.

These here are all poisons. The seed of judgement, clabal.

Stepmother’s bane, Toricapt.

That’s the brand of a prisoner condemned to death

Looks like we’ve seen enough. Let’s keep going.

Gah!

Gah gah!

A baby!?

It was in a bag,

But it was definitely a baby.

That man who was setting up drugs in the back of the store…

You year about them sometimes, (like in legends) stories where they make medicine out of a baby’s heart…

Something wrong, Saiam?

No, it’s nothing…

What should I do? This doesn’t involve me!

[51]
It’s not like I could do anything anyway…

But then, I

Just as I ready to die during the famine, someone found me and saved me.

Even though I was just someone else’s abandoned kid, in a hopeless situation

But still…

Has anything good really come from me being alive?

Hey, old man! I’m talking to you!

A sage’s job is to think, isn’t ! Why don’t you worry instead of me!

[52]
A baby?

Ok. Let’s go! Come one, follow me!

Wait, wait, wait, old man!

Do you plan on taking on that many people with just the two of us?

Even if we were lucky and manage to save it and escape, how are we going to travel across the wilderness in winter with a baby in tow? How are you going to find milk?

Um… So then, what do we do?

Were you even listening to me!?

[53]
You know, Saiam, advice…

Even from one Sage to another, is a dangerous gift

So it’s written in this wonderful book here!

When did I ever use that one…

[54]
I see…

I think I know why the old woman under here isn’t dead.

Likely, the villagers weren’t able to lift a hand, and they were all buried alive.

Then, among all of them, the old woman,

No matter how much time passed, just wouldn’t die.

[55]
Just wouldn’t…

Well, whatever! I’ll think of the rest later.

So we are going!

You’re staying here. If you come along, you’ll just get in the way.

My amazing wisdom and composure would be helpful in a time like this!

Really…

Ah… Enemy sighted at 11 o’clock! Go and seize him while I provide a distraction!

At your age, give it up already.

[56]

I hope they’re finished with business for today…

There it is!

Hm hm

He’s in the next shop.

That bald man from earlier

Shall I go in? Well, I guess I’ll try it.

[57]

Hello, excuse me.

You wouldn’t have a treatment for baldness, would you?

Mhmm. With this, you’ll have a full head of hair in one night.

Ooh, that’s amazing.

I’ll be so popular with all the young ladies starting tomorrow…

So, how much is it!

It’s an ointment made from human fat.

That’s too expensive. Make it less.

O- Of course…

He really does understand human psychology…

I’ll just reach through this gap…

[58]

Don’t cry

Please!

It’s cheaper than it costs to court even just one woman

I guess that’s true…

After getting this far, we should be safe!

[59]
I guess that’s what you call not aging gracefully.

Only a bald man can understand a bald man’s mentality.

Fx: Whaah…

Oh, that’s no good.

I wonder if that medicine would really have given me hair…

Don’t worry. You’re already covered in ten year’s worth of hair- your beard, anyway.

There, there. I’m taking you out…

Now…

[60]

…Old man. Come here a sec.

What the heck are these?

Ah, troublesome little buggers you’ve picked up there.

That’s why I asked what they are are!

They’re called doglings*. They may be small, but they’re proper devils.

The bones and innards of the little ones are used to make a very expensive medicine that cures hundreds of illnesses.

*inuwarashi is the japanese; the meaning is roughly “dog-children”. However, given the vaguely european-like setting for this manga, I decided I would rather translate than transliterate, thus “dog + diminutive ending”.

[61]
Ugh, they’re still clinging onto me. If you won’t go away, I’ll sell you off!

Sell… sell us off.

Did that thing just speak…

Is bad man who sells us off. Are you bad man?

Yeah, you could say I’m going through a bad time. Go on now!

Bad man.

…get revenge on bad man.

What kind of revenge?

Scary, scary revenge…

[62]
There, there. You’re wrong. He’s not a bad man. Come here, now.

What the heck…

Little demons, you know, are often a hundred times more innocent than humans.

If you raise them well, they’ll be truly lovable, but…

If you make just one mistake, you’ll release two terrors into the world.

So

Where are your mommy and daddy, little ones?

Daddy

Daddy here!

[63]

Who’s daddy here!? Let go, you stupid…

I mean, I’m just showing topsy-turvy love…

That is… I love you so I say mean things on purpose…

Stupid?

Daddy stupid

Daddy worthless! Daddy ugly!

They’re becoming so attached to you!

What’m I supposed do I do now…?

They already seem to know many things.

So in another two months, they should be ready to be separated from their parents.

Two…

Months…

Hey, Saiam!

I…

I’d been living steadily as a carefree grifter.

Somewhere along the way, I must have gotten myself pulled into a complicated snare.

Is what I suddenly thought at that time.

Hang on!

Daddy!

Water! Water!

金持ちや賢者には面白いかもしれないが
Might be fun for a rich person or a sage

ろくなもの食えないし　地面に寝りゃ体中こわばるし虫は刺すし

That girl is so pretty, a cherry. I am a cherry

も～がまんできん！
I can’t take it anymore!

Grant Leauvas, yeah right! You’re an imposter, aren’t you! I see right through you!

実にあんたは頭がいいのお　当たらずとも遠からずじゃよ
…You’re actually smart, you know. That’s not a bad guess.

な。。。
Wha…

学び舎のおっかないじーさんたちがそう呼んどるだけじゃで
Those puffed-up old men at the School are the only others who call me that . Though I don’t know why!

東の学び舎に本当にいたってんなら　そこで何か学んだはずだろう！
If you really were at the “Eastern School”, you must have learned something there!

[021]

Kids with empty bellies growling, things like that.

旅してるならいろいろ見てるだろ！？
If you’re a wanderer, you see all that, don’t you!?

自分だけ機嫌よく暮らされちゃたまんねーよ！賢者のくせに
I can’t stand that you live only only worrying about your own good humor! And you’re supposed to be a sage!

空しい
…This is futile.

ああまずいなあ
Aah, this is bad…

思い出しちまった
I it’s all coming back to me

十年前の　あの不毛の秋
That desolate autumn fifteen years ago…

And the winter that followed.

お母さんはお父さんを捜しに行ってみる
Mama’s going to go look for Papa, all right?

何か食べるものも見つけてくるわねきっとよ
I’ll find something to eat for you too. You’ll see.

待っててね
Wait for me, now.
まっててね。。。
Wait for me.

あまずいなって
“Ah, this is bad”

思ったんだよな
Is what I thought.

今一緒に行かなかったら
If we didn’t go out together,

もう会えないとはっきりわかた
I knew perfectly it would be the last time we saw each other.

ついてきゃよかったなああの時
I should have gone and followed her, back then.

。。。だけど俺は
…But I

[25]
腹へってもう動けなかったんだな
I was famished and I couldn’t even move.

何と言う悲しい話じゃ！
What a sad story!

きいてたのかこいつ
Was he listening…?

泣くなよみっともない
Don’t cry! It’s unseemly.

機嫌よく暮らしてんじゃなかったのか！
I thought you wanted to always live in good spirits!

泣く時は心おきなく泣き
When it’s time to cry, you cry with all your heart!

怒るときはめいっぱい怒る！
When it’s time to be angry, be angry with all your might!

[26]
機嫌よく暮らすコツじゃよ
That’s the secret to living in good spirits.

へんなじいさん
What a strange old man.

泣いてもらったって腹の足しにもならないけどね。。。
Crying for someone won’t fill their stomach, though.

そらーあそこが俺がやっかいになってる領主の村だ
Look- over there is the town of a lord who once took care of me.

わしを呼びたがってるとかいう？
Did he want to invite me over?

わしゃめどくさいのはごめんなんじゃ！　んじゃ！
I’m sorry for being such trouble, hm!

あ　おい！
Ah- Hey!

[27]
あのさひとつだけききたいんだが
You know, there’s just one thing I want to know!

もういい年なのに　何で身一つでうろつきまわってんだ？
You’ve reached a good old age. Why do you keep roaming around with nothing but the clothes on your back?

代々のグランローヴァならば　王侯貴族でさえ頭を下げるんだろうに。。。
If you really were the legendary Grant Leauvas, then even kings and princes would bow their heads to you…

さて理由は次のうちどれでしょう
So, among the following, what could be the reason?

１台賢人なので俗人と暮らせない
1: As such a great wise man, being unable to live among the masses

２世直しの旅をしている
2: going on a journey to heal the world.

足腰の鍛錬のため
3: exercising my legs

４元気が余ってるだけ
4: just having excess energy

４
4

わかったわかった　それじゃわしもひとつ昔話をしようかの！
I get it, I get it! All right, so now I’ll tell my own story from long ago!

[28]
あれは今から百と十年前のある夜のこと
So, this is the story of one night from one hundred and ten years ago.

わしはまだ十年代の美青年じゃった
I was still a handsome young man in my twenties!

うそこけ
Yeah right

歩いて行く先にきらめく地上の星星のような待街のあかりは
I was walking along, and before me the lights of the town sparkled like stars on the earth.

若者がこれから手に入れようとする
Even though I was young, I wanted to obtain that light

恋や成功の光のようじゃったよ
It was like the light of love and success.

美青年
Handsome young man

なんだろう？
What’s this?

[29]
赤い猫座のしっぽがない
The Red Cat doesn’t have a tail-

星！？
a star?

そうじゃ　不思議なことじゃが紛れもなく星はったよ。。。
That’s right. It was a strange thing, but it was definitely a star…

星はうすく明るく息づいて
The star was shining palely, sighing

まるで眠っているようじゃった
It looked very much like it was sleeping.

わしは急に　その星を自分のものにしたくてたまらなくなったんじゃ
Suddenly, I couldn’t help but desire to make the star my own.

この天の落し物にくらべたら地上の何もかまが色あせて見えたよ
Compared to this thing that had fallen from the sky, earthly objects seemed faded and dull.

この人の世をはるかに超えた
It far surpassed this mortal world

望めどかなわぬ高き光
A great light that would not grant my wishes.

[30]
けれどわし
However,

そうしてはならんこともようくわかったのじゃ
I knew well that I shouldn’t do it.

星は闇にやわらかな光の水脈をひきながら
The stars flow as a stream of soft light in the darkness.

[31]
つかの間の夢のようにその座へもどっていく
Like a fleeting dream, the star returned to its seat in the sky

二度とは手の届かぬ高みへのほっていってしまうー
Once again it abandoned me to a height beyond the reach of my hand.

[32]
わしは長いことそこに立っておったよ
I stood there for a long time.

正しいことをしたという誇りと淡い後悔とを　
Pride at having done the right thing, and fleeting regret

よせかえす波のように感じながら
I felt coming and going like a wave.

[33]
あんたの行ってること
What you just said…

よくわからないが
I don’t reallly understand it.

いまいち崇高さにかける奴
And once again he lacks all sense of gravity

あんたが旅してろのはたぶん。。。
The reason for your journey…

本物の星じゃなくても　人間が持っていられそうな星を捜してるんだずっと
Although it’s not a true star, you have been searching for a star that humans can possess all this time.

そうだろう違うか？
Right? Am I right?

あんたの星が何なのかまではわからんがね
Although I don’t know what kind of star it is yet...

わしゃおまえさんが気に入ったよ一緒に旅をしようじゃないか！
You know, I’m starting to like you! Let’s go on a journey together!

おいおいおい
Hey, hey hey!!

[34]
何でそう飛躍すんだよ　俺には俺の生活が
What’s with this sudden leap? I have my own life…

だって
So

ふたりだと食べ物の調達もしやすいし
With two people, finding food is easier too…

そうか　イヤと言うんじゃしょうがないんじゃね！
All right. If you say no, I guess I can’t help it, hm!

お。。。
H-

おい！
Hey!
さそうんならもっと熱心に誘え！もう一押し言えば行く気になるかもしんだろ！
If you’re gonna invite me, be more sincere about it! If you ask me again, I might feel like going!

おい！　きいてんのかじーさん！
Hey! Are you listening, old man!

[003]
夏休み！
Summer vacation!

ああようやく自由のみだわ！
At last, we’re finally free!

うん。でもよしかちゃんと毎日会えないのは寂しいわ
Mhmm. But I’ll be lonely not being able to see you every day, Yoshika-chan.

何を言っているの！
What are you saying?

[004]
ゆきなは毎日彼氏とデート出来るんだから寂しくないでしょ
You’ll be able to go on dates with your boyfriend all the time, so you won’t be lonely at all.

そそんなもうひどいわ！
Tha-That’s… That’s mean!

ほら
See

さっそくお出迎えじゃない
He’s already come to pick you up.

あ。。。
Ah…

早く行ってあげなさい
Hurry up, go on.

また今度のろけ話を沢山聞かせて
Next time we meet you’ll tell me lots of dirty stories.

ごめんねよしかちゃん。。。
Sorry, Yoshika-chan…

ありがとう！
And thanks!

[005]

[006]
へえっ
Ee-eh?

君も彼の事が好きなんだ！
So you’re in love with him too!

[007]
。。。えっと
Umm…

ねっ　猫がしゃべっ。。。！
A… A cat just talked…!

騒がないで君以外には見えていない　それより
Don’t make such a fuss, do you see anyone else besides you? More importantly,

彼の事が好きなのかい
Do you like him or what?

べ　別に。。。
No- Not really…

嘘！じゃあなんで写真を持っているのさ！
Liar! So why do you have his picture then?

[008]
どうして手に入れようとしないのさ？
So why don’t you try to take him for yourself?

なっだって彼はゆきなの彼よ
Wha- Because he’s Yukina’s boyfriend.

。。。それに
And besides…

それに？
Besides?

あの　ゆきなが彼女なんですもの
Well… and because it’s Yukina who is his girlfriend, you know.

私なんて振り向いてもらえるはずないじゃない
If it were me there’s no way he would even look twice.

なんだ！
What!

だったら彼女の魅力と奪ってしまえば良い！
So then, you should just steal away her attractive features!

何を言ってるの？そんな事出来るわけ。。。
What are you saying? That sort of thing is impossible…

出来るさ
It is possible.

[009]
僕は悪魔だもの
Because I am a demon.

それであなたは一体何なわけ？
If that’s so, what could possible be your motive?

[010]
だから云ってるだろう　悪魔だって
Like I’ve been saying, I’m a demon.

ならどうして私の所に来たの？
So why did you come to me then?

だって君　すごく強い気持ちを持っているんだもの
Because you are harboring very strong feelings.

僕そういう貪欲な人間が大好きなんだ
I love covetous humans like yourself.

だから協力してあげる。
So, I’ll collaborate with you.

でも私はゆきなみたいにはなれないわ
…But there’s just no way I can become like Yukina.

僕にはよく分からないんだけどそのゆきなって子は魅力的なのかい？
I really don’t understand why, but… that Yukina girl is attractive, isn't she?

[011]
ええ！目は黒目がちで髪はぬれ烏のような黒
Yes! She has black eyes, and hair as black as a raven’s wing.

胸も。。。大きいし
And ample breasts…

性格だって私と違ってすごく女の子らしくて。男子にとっても人気があるの
As for her personality, unlike me, she is very feminine. She’s very popular with boys.

ふうん
Hmmph.

私なんか。。。　お呼びじゃないのよ
I… I don’t even compare.

だからさっきもいっただろう。
Well then, I said it before, didn’t I?

彼女の魅力をそのまま奪ってしまえばいい
You should steal her attractive features.

目も髪も胸も
Her eyes, her hair, her breasts

彼女から取って君のものにしてしまえ　僕にはそれができる
Take them from her and make them your own. I can make it happen.

君が望むならね。
That is, if you wish it.

。。。だ
…N-

[012]
だめよ！
No!

誰かの力を借りるなんて公正じゃないわ！
To use someone else’s powers like that isn’t fair!

そもそも吉岡君は今ゆきなと付き合っているだし。。。
Well, as of right now Yoshioka-kun is going out with Yukina.

人の気持ちが移るのは自然な事さ　悪い事じゃない
But for a person’s feelings to shift to another is a perfectly natural thing. It’s not evil.

それに僕らは生まれつき公正でもない
And besides, from the moment we are born, there no such thing as fair.

君だって彼女ばかりが得してきた場面を
Considering the fact that she alone has been profiting from how things are,

沢山見てきたんじゃないのかい？
You’ve come to see that only too well, haven’t you?

[013]
。。。本当に
…Truly,

本当にそんな事が
Can you really

出来るの？
Do something like that?

もちろん
Of course!

[014]
よしかちゃん！
Yoshika-chan!

こんな所でどうしたの？
What are you doing here?

お買い物？
Shopping?

うん。。。そうねそんなところ。。。
Yeah… something like that.

君は君が求めるものを見つめてただ願うだけで良い
Gaze intently at the thing you desire, and then all you have to do is wish.

ちょっと待って　それじゃあ私の元の体はどこに行っちゃうわけ？
Wait a minute… but then where will my original body go?

消えてしまうよ
It will disappear.

なっ！
Wha-!

[15]
交換というわけではないからね。でも別に君は不自由しないだろう？
It’s not an exchange. But it’s not like you’ll be missing anything, will you?

ちょっと
There’s just

欲しいものがあって
Something I want…

ねえゆきな　ゆきなの目ってすごく綺麗よね　私とても好きなの
You know, Yukina, your eyes are very pretty. I really like them.

えっ
Eh?

突然なんかじゃないわ　前からずっと思ってた
It’s not just all of a sudden. I’ve thought so for a long time.

ねえ
Please

もっとよくみせて
Let me see them better.

そ　そんなこと。。。
Say- saying all that…

突然どうしたの？
What’s gotten into you?

一体どうしたのよ。。。
What in the world is going on?

よしかちゃ。。。
Yoshika-cha…

[16]
。。。ゆきな？
…Yukina?

[17]
ゆきな！
YUKINA!

やめなよ
Stop that.

ここは彼女の家の前だろう　放っておいても問題ないさ
This is right in front of her house, right? It’s no problem if you just leave her here.

それに
And besides

見ない方がいい
It’s better if you don’t look.

。。。っ！
…!

眼球が。。。
Her eyes…

ああ私はなんて事をしてしまったのかしら
Ah, what have I done?

あんな

That…

あんなこと
That was…

[18]
一体一体どうしたら
What- What should I do…

よしかさんおはよう！
Yoshika-san, good morning!

夏休みに夏期講習なんていやよね
Ugh, taking intensive courses during summer break is awful.

女の子なんだからお勉強なんて必要ないのに
Even though we’re girls and it’s pointless for us to study anyway.

ああそうそうゆきなさんの事きいた？
Oh, yeah. Did you hear about Yukina-san?

[19]
なんでも目の病気にかかってしまったんですってね
I hear she’s been ill with an eye disease.

お気の毒にもう一生視力はもどらないとか。。。
I feel so sorry for her. They say her eyesight won’t ever come back.

あらどうしたのよしかさん顔色が。。。
Hm? What’s wrong, Yoshika-san? You look pale…

あ。。。ごめんなさい
Oh… I’m sorry.

そうよね　ゆきなさんとあなたとても仲が良かったものね
That’s right. You and Yukina were very good friends.

。。。大丈夫よ
I’m fine.

ありがとう
Thanks.

[20]
今日病院にいって全部ゆきなに話そう
Today I will go to the hospital and tell Yukina everything.

そしてあの猫にどうにか戻してもらえるよう頼んでみよう
Then I will try to ask the cat to return things to the way they were.

もし何か代償が必要なら支払ってでも。。。
Even if he needs some sort of compensation I’ll pay it…

。。。くぼ
…kubo

大久保！
Ohkubo!

えっ？
Eh?

答案回収
Time to turn the exam in.

何根寝ぼけてんだまったく
Were you dozing off? Sheesh.

んっ？
Huh?

あれ？お前。。。
You…

なに？
What?

あーいや
Oh, nothing.

えーっとその。。。
Erm, I mean…

[21]
なんか今日のお前雰囲気が違うっていうか
It’s just, your atmosphere is different today…

可愛く見えて。。。
You look cute.

。。。っな　何言ってるんだろうな俺！
… What am I saying?

今のなし！なし！
Just forget it. Forget it.

変な意味はないからなっ！
I didn’t mean anything weird.

[22]
体の一部が変わるだけでこんなに周りの反応が変わるなんて
Just by changing one part of my body, the reactions of those around me changed that much…

ゆきなは生まれてからずっとこんな扱いを受けていきてきたの？
Ever since she was born, has Yukina lived receiving this kind of treatment?

。。。声？誰かもうお見舞いに来ているのかしら？
…Do I hear voices? Has someone else come to see me?

[23]
彼だわ
It’s him.

あんなに楽しそうに。。。
He looks like he’s still enjoying her company…

ゆきなの目がああなっても彼の気持ちは変わらないの？
Even though Yukina’s eyes are destroyed, his feelings haven’t changed?

でも
But

私は変わった
I have changed.

今の私を見れば　もしかしたら
If he sees me now, perhaps…

[24]
もしかしたら。。。！
Perhaps…!

[25]
。。。どうして
…Why?

どうして振り向いてくれないのかしら
Why won’t he even look back at me?

何かたりないのかしら
Could it be I’m missing something?

ゆきな
Yukina.

[26]
よしかちゃん！
Yoshika-chan!

来てくれたのね！ごめんあさいこんな見苦しい姿で。。。
You came! I’m sorry for being in such a sorry state…

でも嬉しいわ！
But I’m so happy!

気にする事ないわ　ともだちじゃない
There’s nothing to worry about. We’re friends, right?

ねえ何か手伝えることはある？
Hey, is there anything I can help you with?

そんな。。。来てくれただけで十分よ
Just coming to see me is enough.

遠慮しないで
Don’t be modest.

ああ　そうだ
Ah, here.

[27]
入院なんてしていたらお風呂にも中々入れないでしょう
While you’re in the hospital, you can’t really take a bath, can you?

せめて髪だけでも梳かしたらどうかしら？
Why don’t you let me brush your hair?

でも。。。
But…

ほらそのまま座っていて
Here, sit like that.

私櫛を持っているのよ
I have a brush.

。。。きれい
It’s beautiful.

とてもきれいな　髪だわ
Your hair is so beautiful.

[28]
よしか。。。よね？
Yoshika? It is you, right?

[29]
なんだか。。。雰囲気かわった？
Somehow… your look’s changed.

そうかしら？
You think?

髪きれいになったわね
Your hair has gotten so pretty.

ありがとう髪油を変えてみたの
Thanks. I tried dyeing it.

それに胸も。。。
And your chest too…

やだ　実は夏休み中に太っちゃって。。。　恥ずかしいわ
Oh, please. Truthfully, I gained some weight over summer break… It’s so embarassing.

ううん。。。なんかこう　きに障ったらごめんなさいね
Oh no, It's just… I’m sorry if I upset you, but

ゆきなさんに瓜二つにみえて。。。
You look exactly like Yukina…

[30]
髪型を同じにしたからそう見えるのね似合わないかしら？
Yes, I got the same haircut, so I suppose I do look like her. Does it not suit me?

いいえ。。。！そんなことないわ！
No, it does! It really does!

二人とも仲が良くて素敵ね
It’s nice that the two of you are so close.

今日もゆきなさんのお見舞いに行ってくるの
I’m going to visit her again today.

あらゆきなさんももっと喜ぶわ！
Oh? She’ll be so happy!

でもゆきなさんがよしかさんの姿を見れないのは残念ね
But, it’s really too bad she won’t be able to see your new appearance, Yoshika-san.

そうね
Yes,

とても
It’s really

とても残念よね
Really too bad.

[31]
これ以上彼女から何かを奪うつもりなんだい？
Are you really planning to take more than this away from her?

何を言ってるの？　私が欲しいのは「彼」よ
What are you saying? What I want is him.

目とか胸とかそういったものは飽くまで準備じゃない
Eyes, chest, all these things are merely preparation.

。。。それでどうやって彼を手に入れるつもり？
…So how do you plan on catching him?

私が美しくなるにつれてあの子はどんどん醜くなっていく
I’ll become beautiful and she will become frightful to look at.

人の心が動くには十分とおもわない？
Don’t you think that’s enough to move men’s hearts?

きっと彼私の姿を見て驚くわ
When he sees my appearance, he’ll certainly be surprised.

そしてきっと
And then

愛してくれる
He’ll love me.

[32]
こんにちは
Hello.

。。。こんにちは
Hello

ええとあなたは。。。？
Er, and you might be…?

ゆきなの友人の大久保です
I’m Yukina’s friend Ohkubo.

彼女は。。。今診察中かしら？
Is she in the middle of an examination?

あなたの事ゆきなからきいてるわ彼女があんな風になってしまって辛いでしょう？
I’ve heard about you from Yukina. It’s so painful that she’s come to such a state, isn’t it?

ああ　でも彼女自身は変わっていないだら
Yes. But her self hasn’t changed.

あいつが元気なら俺は何も辛くありません
As long as she’s cheerful I can’t say anything is terrible.

。。。え？でも目だって見えなくなってしまったし
…Oh? But she can’t even see anymore…

それ以外の部分。。。その。。。
And the other things too… that is…

[33]
彼女の美しさはその強い心だ
What makes her so beautiful is her strong spirit.

こんな事があってならそれは曲がらずにいる。
As long as she has that, her beauty will never be warped.

あなたも彼女のそういう所に惹かれているのではないのですか？
Wasn’t it that that attracted you to her as well?

え　ええ。。そうね
Ye- Yes… that’s true.

じゃあ俺は
Well then,

お先に失礼します
If you’ll excuse me.

。。。どうする？
…What do I do?

決まってるわ
I’ve decided.

こころが必要なんでしょう？
So I need her spirit, do I?

[34]
ふふ。。。
Hehe…

こんなに毎日の来てくれるのは幸史郎さんとよしかだけだわ
The only ones who come to see me every day are Yoshika and you, Koushirou.

ああ今日もあの子来ているよ今廊下であった
Yes, that girl came today too. I saw her in the hallway.

まあ本当？
Really?

よしかには本当感謝しなくちゃ
I really ought to thank Yoshika.

入院中何度も心が折れそうになったけれど
While I've been in the hospital, there were so many times I thought my spirit would break,

よしかが支えてくれたお陰でこうしてられるわ
but thanks to Yoshika’s support I was able to pull through.

おいおい俺は支えにならなかったのかい？
Hey, and I haven’t supported you too?

あらあらそんなことないけど
Haha, it’s not like that.

よしかはね　ずっと励まし続けてくれたの
Yoshika has just always kept on encouraging me.

[35]
私ね彼女にだったら自分のもの全てあげてもいいくらい
I would gladly give everything I have to her.

感謝しているのよ
I’m so grateful to her.

ゆきなっ！
Yukina!

どうしたんだゆきな！
What’s wrong, Yukina!

ゆきな！
Yukina!

[36]
ゆきな。。。！
Yukina!

返事をしてくれ！
Please respond!

幸史郎。。。さん？
Koushirou… san?

ゆき。。。な？
Yuki…na?

どういうこと。。。
What is this…

[37]
わたし。。。
I…

元通りだわ。。。
I’m the same as ever…

ゆきな。。。っ！
Yukina…!

ゆきな!
Yukina!

よかった。。。
Thank god…

良かった。。。！
Thank god…!

[38]
。。。ああ
…Yes.

きっと
Certainly.

きっと神様が助けてくれたのね
Certainly, God has saved me.

ねえほらそんなに泣かないで
Come now, don’t cry like that.

そんなに泣いていたら
Yoshika’s waiting in the hallway.

廊下にいるよしかに笑われてしまうわよ
If you cry like that, she’ll laugh at you.

その身を滅ぼす尽きぬ欲望。。。
Her body, consumed by insatiable lust…

Let yourself be intoxicated by the unadulterated spirits of a straight-up man's soul.

Shuuhei!

Get this to Kawamura-san!! You've only got three minutes, though.

That's plenty of time!

Here we go!!

[02]
STRAIGHT NO CHASER

sfx vroom!

[03]
Motorcyle in front, please come to a stop!!

CAN'T!!

Stop, you punk!

Can't!

(side: So he's basically an idiot. an extraordinary idiot. But... In the depths there is light! The portrait of ~~fool~~ young man!)

[04]
Kawamura-san!!

sfx: ding-dong

's Go-Go Pizza!

Thank you.

Thanks f'yer business!

I made it in time.

Well, it is me, after all.

Hey.

So it was you again,

Pizza boy.

If you're looking for the pizza boy, he escaped that way.

Is that so. Cut it out and come to the station.

[05]
Shuuhei, I'm going to have to deduct the fine from your wages.

Come on boss!! Cut me some slack, please...!

Have you thought about how many times this makes?

Just be glad they didn't suspend your license, you idiot.

The next time, you're fired. FI-RED

...fired, you say...

Good night!!

Good night, sir!!

Shit!!

What's a speed demon like me gonna do when he's had his speed taken from him!

[06]
Hey, Hitomi.

Are you going to the WU co-ed barbecue?

The barbecue, huh... I wonder...

YO!!!

HITOMI-!!

Ugh, that idiot...

I guess the barbecue's out then.

Your boyfriend wouldn't forgive you.

He's not my boyfriend.

Bye-bye!

Yeah, see you tomorrow!

[07]
I told you not to come here anymore, didn't I!! And moreover, don't call me Hitomi!

I didn't really want to come here either.

It's just strange, though, for two people who are going out not to see each other very often.

haaa~~~~ This is awful... my head hurts...

Shuuhei, kissing you in high school was definitely a mistake!! A mistake!! I was possessed!! It was a blunder!! An accident!! It was a huge mistake that only happened once!!

So I am going out with you!!

Not before, and not now!!

Damn...

You so brazenly take back my first kiss...

It was against my will!! Idiot!!

I heard you, Hitomi.

So, just what is going out, according to you? You know, going out.

[08]
Going out is doing things like talking and having dinner.

Going out somewhere. Eventually, having sex.

Ah.. I see.

Sex? That's your... I see...

You're the worst! What's with that face!?

Please, just go and die somewhere!

Hitomi, if it's with you, I'll do even that.

Have sex, that is.

We're not even going out, there's no way I'll have sex with you!!

What I mean is that going out means sharing things!! together!! Get it!?

Ok, yes. I'll share. I'll bring you pizza every day.

Shuuhei, you know... I'm a college student, and you're living off part-time jobs. Just what do we have in common here!?

Well... that's...

It must be love.

Yes, now goodbye.

[09]
If it's not love, what do we have? Hey!

Please God, erase this idiot right now!

Hey!! So what kind of guy would you go out with, Hitomi!?

What kind of guy would you talk with, eat with, sleep with!?

First off, someone besides you.

After that, I like people who can do something.

Something?

Yeah. Like studying profoundly.

Well, studying's a little...

Nothing else? What else do you like?

Hmm, well...

After that, for example, playing a musical instrument...

Well, in any case, someone who isn't you, Shuuhei.

Shuuhei?

[10]
Wow!

Look at how you shine!

Excuse me, I'll take this!

Would you like to try playing it?

Can I?

I will, I will!

Umm, the mouthpiece...

Eh?

This. If you don't use it, it won't come out. The sound, that is.

What is this?

In here?

Umm... If you like, would you like to enter? Our music school, that is.

Eh? Someone will teach me? Make me into a musician!?

I'm Komatsu, in charge of wind instruments.

I'm in! Let's do it, Koma-chan!!

This way, if you please.

[12]
First, let's play with the mouthpiece.

Mouthpiece, roger!

close your mouth into a straight line,

Vibrate your lips, and sound will come out.

Keep the sound constant.

Constant, roger!

Yes, and on that note let's switch to the whole instrument.

Let's go!! I'm going all out on the trumpet!

No, no, it's not "fu--" it's "vu--".

[13]
Ok, Koma-chan, vu-! Roger!

I played.

I played, Koma-chan! I played a sound!

Th... That's great, that's great.

[14]
Do is now my do! Re is now my re! Mi, too, now is my mi!

Thanks.

Thanks f'yer business!

That old guy is always ordering from us...

I wonder, Kawamura-san... is he Italian?

[15]
How's my sound, Koma-chan?

It's not "vupa-", it's "pa-", "pa-".

Dammit...

I can't get "pa-".

Don't worry, you'll definitely get there.

Definitely.

Koma-chan...

You're a good guy!

Don't mention it. I'm just someone who likes musical instruments.

[16]
By the way, Hei-san.

Next month the school is holding a concert.

Would you appear in it?

(Komatsu School of Music/ Winter concert/ Date: 23 December/ Location: City Hall)

A concert.

Yes, it's a concert for all the school's pupils.

Koma-chan... You don't mean...

My debut.

That's right. Your debut.

YEAH!!

Hei Shuuhei

is making his debut!!

Very good. I'll be choosing the piece.

I'll follow you, Koma-chan! I'll practice hard!

Let's do our best.

[17]
(twinkle twinkle little star)
Twinkle, huh...

This is Hei Shuuhei

with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!!

[18]
Very good.

The trumpet. That's very nice.

Kawamura-san!!

How do you know my name...?

'S'me, you know!

From Go-Go Pizza!!

Ah, yes...

You deliver.

"Thanks f'yer business"!!

I'm Shuuhei.

Well now, Shuuhei-san. Thanks for all that delivering.

Sorry about that, talking during your practice. I really like the trumpet.

Do you play too, Kawamura-san?

No, no... Me, not at all. I'm just someone on the listening side.

Listening side?

[19]
How about it, Shuuhei-san?

From now on, how would you like to come listen at my house?

Just... listen?

Yes, just listen.

Come on in.

Forgive the intrusion!!

Wow!!

[20]

What... What are these?

Records. All jazz records.

Hmm, a record.

Yes.

Up until two years ago, I ran a jazz cafe, and I collected all these records during that time.

Umm, what is that...

Jazz, I mean...

You don't know jazz!?

That sure makes me jealous!!

Jealous...? of me?

Yes!

That you'll be getting to learn about jazz from now makes me quite jealous.

Bring it on, Kawamura-san!!

[21]
Mmhmm... this one.

Jazz, you know, is the music of giants.

Oh yeah?

Yeah. All jazz players are giants.

There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just the music of giants.

So, put on these headphones.

[22]
All right, close your eyes.

[23]

[24]
Amazing.

[25]
Pa-pa! la-la-pparaparapara pa! pa!

Shuuhei!! Margherita, large!

Roger that!!

Pa-- parapara rapapa pa-

Is it just me, or is Shuuhei becoming an even worse idiot?

Well, a more "Pa-!" idiot, anyway.

[26]
Owwww...

I'm a long way from Clifford, huh...

Do you mean Clifford Brown?

Huh?

You know him too, Koma-chan?

When your lips start to hurt from playing the trumpet, if you keep going you'll eventually get a callus.

It hurts, it really hurts.

Ok, I get it.

This pain is proof that my debut's coming up!

Clifford Brown was proud of that callus, it seems.

That's the lips of a trumpeter.

Just like that.

Play through it!!

Once more!!

[27]
Dammit~~

I've got to get good at this...

I can't get the "la" right...

Shuuhei-san!!

Kawamura-san.

You play here every day, don't you.

Yeah, I guess... It's really just blundering through, though...

That's jazz for you, Shuuhei-kun!!

Success, failure- one can easily be the other!! That's jazz.

[28]
Even failure...

is jazz.

YEAH!!

Hei Shuuhei knows jazz!!

Bravo!!

Kawamura-san, you always order pizza, don't you.

Oh, yes. It's not convenient for me to go to the store, I suppose.

Here, I bought this for you. Employee discount.

And take a look at this!! I scored this CD!!

[29]
Oh!! So you bought it. Brownie.

Yeah, please call me Brownie Shuuhei!

Brownie Shuuhei, eh?

That's a good one. Sounding young, that's jazz too.

Bon appetit.

Hey, Kawamura-san. You're always eating pizza...

but don't you ever get tired of it?

Hm?

You know, I closed the jazz cafe because my wife died.

.......

your wife?

[30]
It wasn't right after she died...

For a while, I tried to go on by myself, but...

The shop that we ran together...

For more than 20 years we were together in that place...

I took out all the records and closed the shop,

but no matter what, I just can't go in the kitchen.

I still haven't gotten used to it. Really...

[31]
A music recital?

Yeah, it's my debut.

That's too bad. I already have plans for Sunday. It's the barbecue.

Barbecue?

Well, even if I didn't have plans I wouldn't go anyway.

Hmph...

"Hmph?"

Does that really surprise you?

You know, Hitomi, before you were talking about how we don't share anything, right?

A student with a part-time worker...

Huh?

No, no, that was just a manner of speaking...

Well, now I have people to share things with.

My boss, Koma-chan, Kawamura-san,

Oh, and old-time trumpeters.

Fats and Brownie, Lee and Freddy, I have something in common with them too.

Fats... Lee...?

Yeah!! They're really awesome, those guys.

[32]
Well, I was just thinking of all the people I'm able to share things with.

So I want you to come too, Hitomi.

Well, I'm headed to practice.

See ya!

Sunday

Komatsu School of Music Winter concert

[33]
Preparations OK!!

Wow!!

Looking good, Shuuhei-kun!!

Kawamura-san, Koma-chan, thank you!!

Go for it, Shuuhei-san.

I'll play with 1000,

no, 10,000 percent!

Come on, eat up!

Eat, drink, let's chow down!!

Hitomi,

You're not eating anything...

What's wrong?

Huh?

Nothing, really...

Well, I was just thinking of all the people I'm able to share things with.

Well, I brought badminton!!

Great, let's be Ogu and Shio*!

*nicknames of a pro doubles badminton pair

[35]
Little brat...

She's amazing...

Shuuhei-kun, what's wrong? You can't be nervous...?

Ye...Yes?

Did you say something?

Hey, onii-chan, it's almost teacher's turn, so come into the wings!

Ah...Me, right.

What is this?

What's with this nervousness!?

Brownie Shuuhei!!

Ye...Yes.

There's neither success nor failure, this is just one time to play jazz.

One round of music!!

Don't think about afterward. It's just you and your trumpet!!

Seize this moment!!

I

Am going to play jazz!!!

So, he even asked you to come, boss.

Can't be helped.

If I didn't come to watch he said he'd set fire to my motorcycle.

Program number 38

Hei Shuuhei-san

夏休みの秋葉原を歩く多くの人たちが／家電や萌え／エロを求めて歩いている
Rintarou (narrating): It's summer break, and many a soul wanders Akihabara. Walking around, looking for household electronics, for moe, or something ero.
。。。。。。そう　これがいつもの秋葉原
Yes. It's Akihabara as usual.

Mayuri: Hey, O-ka-ri-n. What where you talking to yourself about just now?

まゆりよオカリンではないっ　俺の事は鳳凰院凶真と呼べと言っている
Rintarou: Mayuri! I'm not Okarin! I told you to call me Hououin Kyouma.

でも本名が岡部倫太郎なんだから　オカリンはオカリンだよーっ
Mayuri: But your real name's Okabe Rintarou, so- Okarin is Okarin!

この天然幼馴染みには何を言ってもムダらしい。。。
Rintarou: It seems pretty pointless to say anything to this naive childhood friend type...

(sfx: grin)

ところで今日はここでなにがあるのー
Mayuri: By the way, what's happening here today?

そんなことも知らずに付いてきたのか　お前は。。。
Rintarou: You came along without even knowing anything about this? Seriously...

[05]
タイムマシン開発成功記者会見だよ
Rintarou: This is the press conference concerning the successful development of a time machine.
一般公開だから俺たち大学生でも見る事ができるんだ
Because it's open to the general public, even college students like us can come watch.

これから起こる事は全て事実であり
Rintarou (narrating):Everything that happens after this point is true.
断じて『厨二病』の妄想ではないと宣言しよう
Let me say it definitely: this is not just some adolescent joke.

このーには。。。
Speaker: And concerning this...

オカリンオカリンっ　席ガラガラだねーっ
Mayuri: Okarin, Okarin! This place is sure empty, huh?

。。。確かに。。。
Rintarou: It certainly is...

会見というよりは発表会に近いない
Rintarou (thought): It'd be closer to call the situation a presentation than a conference...

(fx: empty...)

[06]
色モノ発明家がタイムマシンを発明したところで・　
Rintarou (thought): An inventor has just invented a time machine...
世間は失笑するだけということか。。。
will society just laugh at him...?

かく言う俺も同じ発明家としてこの男の発言に興味はあったが
so, I had an interest as a fellow inventor in what this man had to say, but...
それ程期待していたわけではないので内容は適当に聞き流すことにする。。。
It's not that my expectations were so high, but the details were too perfect, and so I decided I'd heard enough...

はずだったのだが。。。
Or so it seemed...

(fx: Zzzz...)
ド。。。ド。。。。。。
Rintarou: Do... Do.......

Speaker: Wh- What do you mean?

いま貴方が語ったタイムマシン理論はジョンタイター（ｘ）の完璧なパクリではないか！　貴方はそれでも発明家か！？
Rintarou: That time machine theory you just recited is a complete rip-off of John Titor(X), isn't it! And you call yourself an inventor?

(x)２０００年１１月アメリカのインターネット掲示板に２０３６年からやってきたと言って現れたタイムトラベラー
(X) In november of 2000, John Titor claimed to be a time traveller from the year 2036 in an american internet chat room.

貴方は発明家を名乗る資格はない！！
Rintarou: You have no right to call yourself an inventor!

だ。。。
Speaker: Wh-
誰かその男をつまみ出せ！！！
Who is this man you're spouting off about?

同じ発明家として　俺は貴方を。。。
Rintarou: As an inventor myself, I'm going to...

機関？
Makise: Agency?

何のことかはしりませんが
I don't know what　that is,
ちょっと聞きたいことがあちます
but there's something I'd like to ask you.

さっき私に何を言おうとしたんですか？
What were you trying to say to me earlier?

[10]
さ。。。さっきとはいつのことだ？
Rintarou: Ea... Earlier? When do you mean, earlier?

会見が始まる１５分くらい前　私に何か言おうとしてましよね
Makise: About 15 minutes before the interview started. You were trying to say something to me, right?
すごく悲しそうな顔をして辛そうでした
You looked very sad... You looked like you were suffering.

何を言ってるんだこの女。。。
Rintarou (thought): What is this girl saying? This is the first time I've met her!

。。。私　前にあなたと会ったことありますか？
Makise: I... have I met you before?

冗談を言ってるようには思えないこの眼差し。。。
Rintarou: That face... it doesn't look like she's joking...

だ　騙されるな！少しでも隙を見せれば世界は終わりだ！！
D-Don't screw around! If the difference shows even a little, the world is over with!

そういえばなんでまたしの名前知ってるんです？
Makise: Now that you mention it, why do you know my name?

。。。ククッ
Rintarou: Hehehe...
全てはお見通しなのだ！
Everything is as foreseen!

[11]
何しろ俺はマッドサイエンチスとだからな！！
Rintarou: Anyway, it's because I'm a MAD SCIENTIST, see!!
天才少女よ！また会おう！！
Genius girl! Let　us meet again!

。。。。あれがいわゆる　厨二病？
Makise: That was... what is it called? Immaturity?

機関め　ついに本気になったようだな。。。
Rintarou: Damn agency. Look's like they've really gotten serious...

[12]
だが俺はまだヤツらに捕まるわけにはいかんのだブツブツ。。。！
Rintarou: But I still can't get caught by those bastards...argh!

(fx: grumble grumble)

会見も終わってるだろうしまゆりを連れて帰るか
Rintarou (thought): The conference should be over. I'll take Mayuri and go home.
。。。それにしてもあの女
But even if I do that, that girl...
一体何を言って。。。
What in the world was she saying...

ああああああああああ

あの美人は誰かね
Rich person: Who is that beauty, I wonder. She must be the one they were talking about...

Rich person 2: Oh, she's with the Miki family's son...

Rich person: His mistress. No, that nouveau riche youngling is still single. She's just some oddball.

[119]
フン　綺麗な顔してもきっと生まれはいやしいわ　ごらんなさい　下品なこと
Woman: Hmph. Even if she has a pretty face, it's evident she's of low birth. Look at that, what vulgarness.
なんでも元は芸人の出だとか
Woman:　Anyhow, it seems she started out as a mere actress.

なるほど
I see.

色仕掛けで金持ちのボンボンをたらしこんだわけね
Then, she used her wiles to seduce a rich patron.
しっ　聞こえるぜ
Or so I heard.

怖かないわあんな小娘
Woman 2:　I'm not afraid of a girl like that.

いやいや　見鬼家の若当主のご機嫌を損じるのは得策とはいえまいよ
No, no. It's hardly a good plan to interfere with the whims of the Miki House's young leader.

[120]
聡坊ちゃまはあの娘に夢中さ　どこへ行くのも一緒だ
Young master Satoshi is entranced with that girl. Wherever he goes, they're together.
片時だって離れないのさ
They're never separated, not even for a moment.
何しろ　こんな船旅にまで　あの娘を連れてくるんだから　本物だ
What should we do? He went as far as to take her on this ship, it must be the real thing.
ははいい見世物だ僕らも退屈せずに済む
Ha! It'll be a good show. At least we won't be bored.

[121]
フウ。。。いろいろと五月蝿いこと
Tenome: Phew. So many annoying things.

Huh?

[122]
やれやれ女の悋気はおっかねえ
Tenome: Goodness, a woman's jealousy is a frightening thing.
どこのこなたかか知らねえがお嬢さんは坊ちゃんに惚れていなすったんだねえ
I don't know who you are or where you're from, but you've fallen in love with the young master, haven't you, miss?

[123]
それで何よりあたしが憎いってわけだ
Tenome: You detest me more than anything.
だけどこんなことしちゃいけねえや
But still, you shouldn't do something like this.
なぜってほらこうやって魚どもに食われるだろ
Why? Listen. Just like this, I'll surely be eaten by the fish.
そしたらあたしは化けて出るよ
And once that happens, I'll come back as a ghost.

[124]
船窓からのぞいてニタリとわらおうか
Tenome: I'll be smiling at you from the portholes.
船室のベッドの上に浮かんでびしょぬれのポタポタ血と海水をたらしてやろうか
I'll float suspended above your cabin bed, blood and seawater dripping from my drenched body.

[125]
それともあんたが船の狭い浴槽の中にいる時
Tenome: And then, when you're sitting in the ship's narrow bathtub,
鱗だらけの手をそっとをそっとのばして
I'll reach up my hand covered in fish scales,
あんたを水の中に引きずり込んでやろうか
grab you and drag you under the water.

[126]
もちろん風呂の底は海の底と繋がっているのさ
Tenome: For of course, the bottom of the tub and the bottom of the ocean are connected.

[127]
ああそうだ！あたしはばかでかい血だらけの人魚になって夜空に張り付いてやろう
Tenome: Ah, of course! I'm a fool. I'll become a mermaid, covered in blood, and I'll cling to the night sky.

[128]
そしてあんたののった船をみおろしてやろう空からあんたを指さしてやろう
Tenome: And then, I'll spot the ship you're on, and I'll pick you out from the sky.
あんたの罪を大声でいおう　ほらあそこに人殺しがいる！
I'll proclaim your sin in a loud voice. Behold! There is a murderer here!
おまえは人殺しだ！
You are a murderer!

はっ！
Girl: Wha-!?

[129]
すまねえ
Tenome: Sorry.
ちょいと悪戯した
I was just playing a little trick on you.
怖い夢だったかい？
Was it a bad dream?
泣くなお穣ちゃん
Don't cry, miss.

だってあたしやっぱりあなたがにくいわ
Girl: But, I really do despise you.
聡さんはあなたに夢中だわ
Mr. Satoshi is infatuated with you.

[130]
そうはねえ　坊ちゃんはあたしが側にいねえ余計なモノが視えちまうのさそれであたしが必要なだけさ
Tenome: That's not how it is. It's just that if I'm not near the young master, he sees things he'd rather not. That's all he needs me for.

なんだかわからないわ
Girl: What? I don't understand what you mean.
あなたは聡さんを好きじゃないの？
You don't like Mr. Satoshi?

そんなんじゃねえ
Tenome: Well, that's not the case either.
あたしは生まれてから一度も誰かに必要とされたことがなかったから
Ever since I was born, no one had ever really needed me.
つい嬉しくてズルズル一緒にいるのさ
Now, I'm happy just being dragged along together.
ああただそれだけのことさ
Yes... That's all there is.

Satoshi: You can hear me, right? It's been a while, hasn't it?

[103]
僕だ聡だよ

I wonder how many years it's been. I've really been looking for you.
やっと君を見つけたよ
I've finally found you.

[104]
あっしに何か御用かい坊ちゃん　悪いがこれからざしきさ
Tenome: Do you have some job for me, young master? Sorry, but I have a performance.
やっとこの町にも馴染んだところだまたぞろしくじってたびにでるのはもう御免さ
This town is finally somewhere I　fit in. Botching things up yet again and having to hit the road? I'm done with that.

[105]
場代はたっぷり払うから　僕の座敷に呼ばれておくれ　今料亭にいるのさ　僕の声をたどればここへこれるだろ？
Satoshi: I'll give you a an ample price, if you'll be in my performance. I'm at a traditional inn right now. If follow my voice, you can get here.

わがままな坊ちゃんだ　あっしらドサ芸人にも義理ってもんがあらあ
Tenome: That's pretty selfish of you, young master. Even we worthless actors have a sense of responsibility, you know.

よお　”手の目”の姉御これから座敷かい
Man: Hey, Miss Hand's Eye! Are you here to perform?

はっ！！
Tenome: Huh?

[106]
どうした？　俺が男前で惚れ直したかい
Man: What's wrong? I'm so handsome you've already fallen in love?

え？　え！？
Tenome: Eh? Eh!?

[107]
なんでえこりゃ！？
Tenome: Why is this...?
どうなってやがる？
What's happening?

[108]
落ち着いてそれはねえ君が僕のいる場所に近づいてきた証拠さ　君はいま　僕と同じものを視ているのさ
Satoshi: Calm down. This is just proof that you've gotten close to where I am. Right now, you are seeing the same things that I see.

[109]
わかった話を聞こうじゃねえか
Tenome: I get it. So, let's hear your story.

[110]
ありがとう　あれから僕は家を継いだんだ
Satoshi: Thanks. Since last we met, I succeeded as the family leader.
祖父のいったことは正しかった　見鬼家は繁栄を続けたよ
What my grandfather said was right. The Miki House met with great prosperity.
僕は人の本性が視えるのだもの契約や商談の取引でしくじることはない
Because I could see people's true natures, I never messed up a single contract or negotiation.

[111]
成長する会社も値上がりする株もすぐにわかるし
Satoshi: It soon became clear that our company was maturing, and our stock prices were rising.
手を出しちゃマズい事業には近づかないさ　
Opposition was a bad idea. No one could even come near us.
だから見鬼家の事業は成功して拡大した
And so, the Miki House's enterprise was a huge success and expanded greatly.
軍需産業にも進出した　僕は見鬼家を大財閥にしたんだ
We even got into the weapons industry. I made the Miki House into a huge ruling conglomerate.

[112]
そりゃ結構だそれで？なんの悩みがあるんだい
Tenome: That's nice. And then? What are you worried about?
いや。。。そうか　これがなやみか
Ah, no... I see. This is your problem.

[113]
そうだよこれが悩みだ僕の眼はいったいどうなったんだろうね
Satoshi: Yes! This is my problem. What in the world happened to my eyes?
誰も彼も　みんな死人に視えるようになった僕は死人の中で死人に囲まれて生きてる
Anyone and everyone has started to look like a corpse.　　I'm living in the middle of the dead, surrounded by the dead.

わかってるよ　昔　あんたの側にいるとあんたと同じに他人がケダモノに視えたっけ
Tenome: I understand. Before, if I were near you, I would see other people as animals, like you.
あの時と一緒だ　あんたが視ているものをあたしも視ている
It's the same as back then. Now, I'm seeing the things you're seeing.

[114]
あんたの眼はずっと未来が視えるようになっちまったのさ
Tenome: Your eyes have always been able to see the future.
人は必ず死ぬものだから　みんな死人に視えるのは道理さ
Humans are beings that die, without exception. It's only natural that they should look like corpses.

[115]
耐えられないよ　助けてと
Satoshi: I can't take it anymore. Help me.
僕の周囲はみんな死人だ誰も彼も死んでるんだ
Everyone around me is a corpse. Anyone and everyone is dead.
君に教えてもらった邪の眼封じも効かないんだ
The eye seal that you once taught me doesn't work.
このままだと僕はきっと気が狂う　いっそこの眼を潰してしまうか
If things go on like this, I'll surely go mad. I might as well gouge out this eye　completely.

[116]
待ちな　馬鹿はおよし
Tenome: Wait. Don't be a fool.
あしたがなんとかしてやる　ああ　きっとなんとかなるはずさ
Tomorrow, somehow, I'll do it. It's all right. Somehow, certainly, there's a way to fix this.
あたしにまかせなよ
Leave it to me.

ねえ君その魚は君にやるから取ったりしないからさ　もう口からお離しよ
Satoshi: You know, I'll give you that fish, so you're not stealing it. You can take it out of your mouth already.
さっきは本当にびっくりしたよ
You really surprised me there earlier.

[87]
釣竿を上げたら糸の先に魚をくわえた君が　川から上がってくるんだもの
Satoshi:　I was pulling my fishing rod up, and then you were there, biting the fish on the end of my line, and so I pulled you out of the river.
山で迷って川沿いに里へ降りるつもりでいたらつい深みに落ちて
You must have gotten lost in the mountains, and then intended to come down to the village by the river, but you fell in.
面倒臭いからそのまま流れてきあって
It must be pretty annoying to be washed away like that, huh?
すごいんだね　君
You're amazing.

[88]
あんた東京からきた見鬼様ンところの縁筋の坊ちゃんじゃろう
Horse: You, young master, you're the relative of Sir Miki from Tokyo, right?
お舘で探しておられましたで
They're looking for you at the inn.
早うお帰りなせえ
Please return quickly.

[89]
わかったありがとう
Satoshi: All right, thanks.
君もおいでよ
You can come too.
体を拭かなくちゃ
You need to dry yourself.

[90]
聡くんどこへ行っていたのだ
Pig: Where has Satoshi gone?

もうすぐ君の順番だぞ
Cow: It's almost your turn, you know.

おじいさまに呼ばれたらすぐにお部屋にいくのよ
Mantis: When I'm summoned by Grandfather, I'm going in that room right away.

その濡れねずみの女のこは誰？
Rabbit: Who is that drowned rat of a girl?

川に落ちたの？え？川から釣りあげたって？よくわからないわね
Squid: Huh? She fell in the river? He pulled her out while fishing? I don't really know.

[91]
君ってキレイだ
Satoshi: You're pretty.
よかった本物の女の子なんだね
Thank goodness, you're a real girl, huh.

[92]
本当なら張り倒すか　見料を頂戴するところだぜ
Tenome: If that were true, would you knock me over? I should start charging for my fortunetelling.
坊ちゃんあっしが普通な娘っ子に見えるから驚いていなさるだろ
You're surprised because I look like a normal girl, right, young master?

うん　わかるのかい？
Satoshi: Yeah. Do you get it?

他の人間はケダモノだの虫けらだのにみえるんだろ？
Tenome: Other humans look like　some kind of beast or insect, right?
あんたの側にいるとあっしも巻き添えで変なものがみえちまう
If I were to stay near you, I too would get caught up in the phenomenon and start looking like something strange.
[93]
変なんだおじい様の容体が良くないっていうから
Satoshi: It's wierd. They said Grandfather's condition is pretty bad.
東京からこっちへきたら　人の顔がみんな牛だの馬だのにみえるのさ
But when I came here from Tokyo, all the peoples' faces looked like cows or horses.

どうしたんだ聡
Father:　What's wrong, Satoshi?

父さんも母さんも声だけが変わらずにいるのさ
Satoshi:　Mother and father... Only their voices are like normal.

お母さんの顔に何か附いてるの？
Mother: Oh, is there something stuck on Mama's face?

さあ手を出しな
Tenome:　Now, stick out your hand.

[94]
こいつは邪の眼封じだ
Tenome:　This is an eye seal.
人を見る時は手のひらをかざしなまともな顔にみえるはずだ
When you look at a person, hold out the palm of your hand. You should be able to see their proper faces.
こうやって。。。丸め込むとまた見たくもねえものが見えちまうぜ
When you do this... and ball up your hand, the things you don't want to see will be visible again.
わかったな？
Got it?

うん　ありがとう
Satoshi:　Yeah. Thank you.

なあに刺身の礼だ
Tenome:　What? It's a little thanks from your sashimi.

[95]
聡やおまえの番だ
Mother: Satoshi, it's your turn.
おじい様の部屋へ行きご機嫌を損ねるんじゃないよ
You don't want to miss your chance to visit Grandfather's room while he's in the mood to be seen.

うんわかった母さん
Satoshi: Ok, I understand, Mother.

どうだったね？
Relative: So, how was it?

駄目だ私は選ばれなかった
No use. I wasn't chosen.

誰かな選ばれるのは
Hm, I wonder who　it will be.

とにかくそいつが財産を総取りだ
Anyhow, whoever it is will get the whole inheritance.

羨ましい話さ
Don't　make me jealous

[96]
おまえは誰だったかな
Ojiisama: Who are you now, I wonder...

聡です
Satoshi: It's Satoshi.

こっちへお寄り
Ojiisama: Come closer.
もう。。。声もよく出ない
I... still can't speak very well.
聞けなさい　わしはもうすぐ死ぬ跡とりを決めぬばならぬ
Listen well. I will die soon, and I must choose an heir.

[97]
そのためにお前達を呼んだ。。。聞け　見鬼家の正統な後継者には。。。その時がくれば
Ojiisama:　I've called you all together for that purpose. Listen...
Once that time comes, the successor of the noble Miki house
人間の本性を見る眼が授かるのだ
will be gifted with the eye that can see a human's true nature.
その者こそ一族を繁栄に導くのだ
That one will surely lead the household into prosperity.

え
Satoshi: Yes.

だからわしは。。。おまえ達をひとりずつよんでこう聞いたのだわしはなんに見えるか？と
Therefore, I have called you here one by one and asked this: What do I look like??

ああ私には阿弥陀如来様に見えます
To me, you look like the blessed Amida!

白い雲を頂く大いなる山脈に見えますよ天高く羽ばたく鳳凰に見えます
You look like a stately mountain, crowned with white clouds.　　You look like a phoenix, flying high in the heavens.

[98]
さあいえ聡
So tell me, Satoshi...
正直にいえわしがなんにみえる?
Tell me truly. What do I look like?

ハッ！？
Hah-
あ。。。ああ！
A- aaah...!
バ　化け物ォッ！！
A mo- monster!!

[99]
わしの跡目を継ぐのは
The one I choose as the head of this family
おまえだあああ～～～～！
IS YOU~~~~!

[100]
あばよ坊ちゃん運命に流されるのも逆らうのも　どうせちょんの間の影絵芝居だ
Farewell, young master. Defying fate or being tossed around by it, in the end, it's just a play of shadow puppets.

縁があったらまた会いましょうや
If it's our destiny, let's see each other again.

山の夜語り
Chapter 5: Night tales of the Mountain

[69]

あっしは手の目だ　色々あって夜の山中で米俵の上に乗っかるハメになったんだが
Tenome: I am the Hand's eye. A lot of things have happened, and now I'm stuck in the mountains in the middle of the night sitting on a bag of rice.
話すと長くなるからワケは聞かねえでくれ
If I were to tell the story, it'd be pretty long, so please don't ask why.
若旦那もワケありのご様子だが
Although you look like you have a story too, young master.
何も話さなくて結構だ
It's okay if you don't say anything.

[70]
あっしはすっかりお見通しさ
Tenome: I can see right through you anyway.
山の中歩き回ってお疲れだろ
You were walking around in the mountains and now you　must be tired.
火のそばにさわんな
Come sit by the fire.
そうそう
That's right.
それでいい
There's good.
おっと
Oh
あいつらまたきやがった
THEY've already come...

[72]
昔ロベらしでこの山に捨てられた子供らさ
Tenome: They're children who were abandoned on this mountain long ago to reduce the number of mouths to feed in their village.

そんな前のこっちゃねえほんの数年の昔さ
That's all in the past, but it was really only a few years ago.

いや今でも貧しい村なら子捨て姥捨てはあるかもだぜ。
No, I suppose even now, if a village is poor enough they still expose children and old women.

[73]
それ！
Tenome: Here!
こいつら飢えて死んだから生米をやると喜んで食うのさ
They died starving, so if you give them even uncooked rice, they'll gladly eat it.
怖がるな　何も悪さはしねえよ。
Don't be scared. They won't do anything bad.
おいおまえら！
Hey, you kids!
さっきもいったろう　物をもらったら礼をしな
You were here earlier, right? When you get something, you ought to say thanks!

[74]
若旦那にも芸を見せてやれ
Tenome: Show the young master your performance too!

[75]
あははそうだいいぞいいぞ
Tenome: Haha, that's right. Very good!

[76]
ん？　ああ。。。この若旦那かい？
Tenome: Hm? Ah... This young gentleman?
このお人はな　心中の片割れ死にそびれさ
That honorable young man botched his attempt to die in a lover's suicide.

[77]
おまえら海何ぞ　見たこともねえだろうによくできたじゃねえか
Tenome: Oh, you guys, it's the ocean! You did a good job for never having seen it.
竜も立派に見えらあ
The dragon is handsomely done too.
どうした若旦那　餓鬼どものせっかくの余興だ拍車のひとつもしてやんな
What's wrong, young master? These brats have worked really hard at this show. At least give a little applause.
親に反対結婚　ふたりあのよで果たそうと愛しい人と道行き心中
The marriage that your parents refused... you two thought you could succeed in the other world. You would elope with your beloved in a double suicide.

”美しく死のうね”　”はいあなた”
"Let us die in beauty" "Yes, my darling"

[78]
物好きにもこんな山の中まで入り込んで
Tenome: Out of idle curiousity, you pressed into the heart of the mountains.
ふたり仲良く崖からとび降りたはいいが
The two of you, happy together, jumped off a cliff, and that was that, but...
運がいいのか悪いのか　若旦那だけが生き残り
For better or for worse, the young master alone was left alive.

[79]
愛しい人は無残な姿
Tenome: His beloved was in a terrible state.
百年の恋も醒め果て逃げ出して
Finally coming to your senses after a hundred years of love, you fled.
山の中さまよって
You wandered in the mountains

[80]
。。。たどり着いたのがこのお座敷だ
Tenome: And after a long struggle, you finally made it to this performance.
さあおまえらもっと若旦那のご機嫌とりに精出しな
So, kids, why don't you try something that better suits the young master's mood?
あ？
Huh?
こらおまえら！？
Hey, guys!

[81]
なんにばけやがる？
Tenome: What kind of shape are you making?
変なイタズラするんじゃねえ！！
Don't play sick jokes!

わあ！わあああああ！！
Wakadanna: WAH! WAAAAAAHH!!!

[82]
わあ！　わあ！　わあああ！！
Wakadanna: WAAAAAAAAH!!

待ちねえ若旦那！
Tenome: Hey, wait up, young master!
そいつは本物じゃねえよ！
That's not the real thing!
ガキどものイタズラだ！
It's just the kids' practical joke.
こわがるこたあねえてば！
There's nothing to be afraid of!

わっ！
Wakadanna: Wah!

[83]
あ～あ
Tenome: Aww...
女の幽霊なんぞ怖がるこたあねえのに
It was just the illusion of a woman. Even though there was nothing to fear...
女が怖いのは生きてるうちさ
I guess he was afraid of women when he was alive.
ああ　もう夜も明けやがる
Aah, the night's already getting a little brighter.

闇夜を焦がすは禍々しき焔。。。！
A mysterious flame burns through the moonless night...!

お前のその頼み
Smaug: So, your wish...
聞いてやってもいい。。。
Let's hear it.

[3]
だが契約を破れば。。。
Smaug: However, if you break the contract...
ククク。。。どうなるかくらいわかるだろう？
hehehe... I think you know what will happen.
契約だ　３年間条件を守りぬけ。。。！
It's a deal. Keep to the terms through three years!

[4]
スマーグ　彼らは高い知性を有し
Narrator: The Smaug. Beings of great intellect
人間では決して敵わぬ強大な力を持つ
who possesses a mighty power that human beings will never match.
だが契約を結び　スマーグが提示する条件を守れば
However, if one makes a contract with a Smaug, and respects the conditions that he lays down,
頼みを一つ聞いてもらえるという
they say he will listen to a single request.

[5]
クロエちゃんウィスキーを二つ！
Customer: Hey, Chloe! Two whiskeys!

こっちも頼むよ！
Customer: Same here!

おっちゃんここって宿屋もやってんの？
Boy: Mister, do you run an inn here too?

いらっしゃい！ええ　やってるよ　珍しいねえ　こんな時期にこのむらへ人が来るなんて
Bartender: Ah, welcome! Yes, I do.
It's rare, though, to see someone come to the village in this season.

ああちょっと　約束があってさ
Boy: Yeah, I guess. I have a contract to fulfill.

へえ　約束？
Bartender: Hm, a contract?

それより何かあったかい物くれよ　冷えちまった
Boy: More importantly, give me whatever you've got that's hot. It's gotten pretty cold out there.

ああ待ちな　おーいクロエ！
Bartender: Of course, just a moment. Hey, Chloe!

[6]
クロエ！
Bartender: Chloe!
三番テーブルに運んでくれ
Take this to table three.

なあここのオススメ料理って何なの？
Boy: Say, what dish here would you recommend?

お客さんオススメはビーフツチューだよ　クロエ三番だ早く行け
Bartender: I would recommend the beef stew, sir. Chloe, table three! Hurry it up.

何で答えないんだと思っただろう？　あの子は喋れないんだよ　気を悪くしないでやってくれ
Bartender: You know why she doesn't respond, right? She can't talk at all, so please don't be upset with her for not answering.
よく働く良い子さ
She's a good kid, and she works hard.
姉の方とは違ってね
unlike her older sister...

姉？
Boy: Sister?

[7]
クロエはどこ。。。？
Ilia: Where's Chloe?

来た！
Customer: She's here!

人が気持ちよく呑んでる時に。。。！
Customer: Just when we get our hopes up...

イリア。。。！
Bartender: Ilia!

クロエ。。。！
Ilia: Chloe!
私さっき酒持って来いって言ったでしょ。。。！？
I told you to bring me a drink, didn't I?
何で他の奴に運んでるのよ
Why'd you take it to some other guy?

[8]
常に私を優先しろって言ってるでしょよ！！
Ilia: I've told you, I should always be your first priority!!

ひでえ。。。
Man: How awful...

やめろイリア！
Bartender: Stop it, Ilia!

邪魔をするなら店には出て来るなと言ったはずだ！！
I've told you, if you're going to get in the way, don't come to the inn!

この子は私の妹なのよ？
Ilia: This girl is my little sister, no?

当たり前じゃない。。。！姉の言うことと聞けないんだから。。。
It's common sense, isn't it? Since she doesn't listen to what her elder says...

Man: wha-!

[9]
お客さあああん！！？
Bartender：　Sir!!?

騒ぐなって平気だよこのくらい。
Boy: It was getting noisy. This is better.
あんた大丈夫か？
Are you alright?

あんたこそ大丈夫なのか！！？
Bartender: We should be asking if you're alright!

[10]
何自分からぶつかりに来てんのよバカみたい
Ilia: Did you come to get yourself beat up, idiot?
別にぶつける気なんてなかったのにさあ
I didn't mean to clash with anyone.

何言ってんだイリア！！
Man:　What are you saying, Ilia!!

お前が悪い！！
You're horrible!

誤ったらどうだ！？
Why don't you apologize?

な。。。何よ。。。
Ilia:　Wha... What are...
私は悪くないでしょ！？
I'm horrible, am I!?
よってたかって人を悪者みたいに。。。
I'll make you all look like villains...

やめろイリア！
Bartender: Stop, Ilia!!
。。。すみません本日は。。。閉店します　御代は結構ですので。。。　皆さん大変ご迷惑をおかけしました
I'm sorry, the shop is closing down for today.
There's no need to pay. I'm terribly sorry for everyone's trouble.

[11]
さあキミ　手当てをしないと　クロエ手伝いなさい
Bartender: Now, you, if you're not going to give me any compensation、go help Chloe.
だから平気だってば
That should make up for everything.

そんなわけあるか！
Chloe: So that's how it is!

全く。。。
Customer: Really.

イリアのバカが。。。
Ilia's a fool...

クロエちゃんと旦那がかわいをうだ
I feel sorry for Chloe and the boss.

何でアイツが生き残りなんだよ。。。！
Why that wench was left alive...

この村に来なきゃ良かったのに。。。！
It would have been better if she never came to this village.

明日で丁度
Ilia: Tomorrow, it's exactly...
３年。。。
Three years.

[12]
約束の日
Ilia: The day of the contract.
大丈夫私はちゃんと条件を守ってる
Everything will work out. I will definitely fulfill the conditions.

そんな慌てるなって平気だって言ってるだろ
Boy: Sorry to lose my head like that. I tell you, I'm fine.
あれくらいじゃケガしないからホラ(キズあとないだろ？）
That should　do it, I'm not injured. Look. (Not a scratch, right?)

[13]
赤ワインをかぶっただけで血が出てなかったケガ一つないよ
Bartender: He just got red wine poured over his head, there's no blood. Not one injury.
無事で良かったが。。。アザもできてないとは不思議だな
I'm glad you're fine, but... It's strange there isn't even a bruise.

だから言っただろ
Boy: I told you...

しかし本当に申し訳ないイリアはクロエ同様ウチで預かってる姉妹なんだ
Bartender: But I am truly sorry. Those sisters are my wards, Ilia and Chloe both.

預かってる？
Boy: Wards?

ああ　２人共元は別の村の人間だった
Bartender: Yes. Those two are originally from another village.
３年前あの子達の故郷はスマーグに消された
Three years ago, their hometown was destroyed by a Smaug.
たった２人だけ生き残りとなったイリアとクロエはここまで逃げのびて来たんだ
Only two people survived, and that was Ilia and Chloe.

[14]
クロエはよく手伝いをしてくれて助かってるんだが　イリアがああだし。。。彼女をよく思ってない人も多い
Bartender: Chloe does her best to help out, and she's really been a savior, but Ilia... There are many who don't think well of her.
しかし客にまで物をぶつけたりしたのははじめてだ
However, this is the first time she's gone so far as to hit a customer...
それが言い訳になるわけでもないが
Still, that's no excuse.
本当に失礼した
You have my apologies.

クロエ
Bartender (thought): Chloe

イリアには　出て行ってもらおうと思ってる
We're going to make Ilia leave.
お前の言いたいことは分かるよ
I understand what you want to say.
いつも彼女を庇ってるものな
You're always sticking up for her,
だがもう決めたことだ
but it's already been decided.

[15]
明日にでも話をつけようと思ってる
Bartender: Tomorrow we're going to have a talk with her.

お姉ちゃんお帰り！
Chloe: Welcome back, sis!

ただいまクロエ！
Ilia: Chloe, I'm home!

お仕事おつかれさまー　ごはんできてるよ
Chloe: You must be tired from work, but dinner's ready!

よしよしさすが私の妹だ！
Ilia: That's my sister, all right!

ルンルンランラン
Chloe: Lulu lala
ルンランラン
Lulala

元気ねークロエは
Ilia: You're lively today, Chloe.
あんたの歌聞いてるとこっちまで元気出てくるわ
When I listen to you sing, it makes me feel better.

お姉ちゃん元気ないの？
Chloe: You're not feeling well, Ilia?

そーいう訳じゃないけど。。。ん！スープおいしー！
Ilia: It's not that... hey, this soup is delicious!

[16]
お姉ちゃん無理してるでしょ？
Chloe: Sister, you're pushing yourself too hard, don't you think?
ちょっとお仕事減らせないの？
Couldn't you cut back on work a little?

何言ってんのこんな暮らししてて。。。
Ilia: What are you saying, with the way we're living...
さてともう寝るわ　ごしそうさま
Anyway, I'm going to bed. Thanks for making dinner.

あ。。。待ってまだパンが残ってるよ！
Chloe: Ah... Wait, there's still bread...

私もういい　あんたが食べなさいよ
Ilia: I'm full. You eat it.

でも。。。！
Chloe: But...!

たくさん食べて早く大きくなって　私に楽させtよ。。。ね？
Ilia: If you eat a lot, you'll grow faster. Then you'll be able to make things easier for me, right?

...! うん！
Chloe: Yeah!
お姉ちゃんの役に立つんだ大きくなったらきっと
when I grow up, surely I'll be able to help sister!
お姉ちゃんスゴイ熱。。。
Sister, such a fever...
無理ばかりするから。。。！
It's because you pushed yourself too much!

平気よこんなの。。。
Ilia: I'm fine. A little thing like this...

[17]
どうしよう。。。私の稼ぎだけじゃお薬も買えないし。。。
Chloe: What should I do... With just my earnings, we can't buy medicine...
こんな時に何もできないなんて。。。
Times like these, there's just nothing we can do...

。。。ねえ
Ilia: Hey.

何？
Chloe: What?

歌うたってよ
Ilia: Sing a song for me.

歌？
Chloe: A song?

小さい頃からよく歌ってたじゃない　最近あまり聞かないけど
Ilia: Ever since we were little, you've always sung so well. Lately I haven't been hearing much, though.

あんなの適当なのに
Chloe: I can't think of anything appropriate...

いいから歌って　おねがい
Ilia: It's fine, just sing. Please.
あんたの歌聞くと元気でるからさ。。。
when I hear you sing, it makes me feel better.

。。。じゃ　子守歌ね
Chloe: Sure... A lullaby, then.
こんな時でも私をきづかってる。。。
Chloe (thought): even in times like these she worries about me...

[18]
いつになったら役に立てるの？　お姉ちゃんを助けたいのに。。。
Chloe: When will I be able to help Ilia? Even though I want to save her...

見ろあそこ。。。！人は倒れてるぞ！
Villager 1: Look, over there! Someone's fallen down!
声が聞こえたと思って来てみて良かった。。。
It was lucky you thought you heard a voice and came to look...

子供じゃないか！
Villager 2: They're children!

もしかしてスマーグに襲われたっていう村の。。。
Villager 3: Maybe they're from the village that the Smaug destroyed...

。。。い。。。。妹が。。。
Ilia: M... my sister...

何だね？
Villager: What is it?

声が。。。　出なくなってて！
Ilia: She... She can't speak anymore!

大丈夫だ安心なさい　２人ともすぐ医者にみせよう
Villager: It's alright, don't worry. We'll take both of you to a doctor right away.

運んでやるからな
Villager: We'll carry you, all right?

[19]
こんな時まで。。。
Ilia: Up until now...
役立たず。。。！
You've never helped!
いつまでも足引っ張って。。。！　あんたなんて。。。
You're always in the way...
居なきゃ良かったのに
It would have been better if you hadn't been there!

役立たなきゃ。。。
Chloe: I have to help her...
これからは私がお姉ちゃんを守らなきゃ。。。
From now on, I have to protect Ilia.

[20]
これは。。。
Bartender: What is this...

わースゲーなピカピカじゃん　おっちゃんおはよう！
Boy: Whoa, amazing! The place is sparkling. Morning, mister!

ああ。。。おはよう
Bartender: Oh, yes. Good morning.

いつもこんなキレイにしてんの？
Boy: Do you always make it this clean?

いや。。。
Bartender: No...
起きなさい　クロエ
Wake up, Chloe
掃除はもういい！
That's enough cleaning!

[21]
お前の気持ちはよくつたわった　イリアをここ置けと言うのだろう
Bartender: You've definitely conveyed your feelings. You want to keep Ilia here, right?
だがダメだ！
But it's impossible!
やはりイリアは私にもお前にも負担にしかならない！
Clearly, both for you and me, she's nothing but a burden!
考えは変えん
You can't change my mind...
さあ部屋で少し休んで。。。
Now, go to your room and rest a little...

あんな姉のために。。。
for the sake of a sister like that...

うわ～
Ilia: Wo~w!

[22]
朝っぱらから気味悪いわね　何床にへばりついてるのよ
Ilia: It's not good to be doing that so early in the morning, you know. Why are you clinging to the floor?
それってあんたの趣味か何か？
Is it your hobby or something?

イリア。。。クロエはな
Bartender: Ilia... Chloe, she...
お前がこの店から追い出されないように店を徹夜でキレイにして。。。土下座までしてたのんでるんだぞ！？
She stayed up all night cleaning so that you wouldn't be expelled from the shop, and now she's gone so far as to beg on her hands and knees!
全部おまえのためだ。。。！
It's all for your sake!
それを何ともおもわんのか！！
Doesn't it mean anything to you at all!?

。。クロエ
Ilia: Chloe...

[23]
あんた私に感謝でもさせようってわけ？
Ilia: And you're expecting me to show gratitude, is that it?
生意気
impertinence.
ここはまだ汚れてるじゃないクロエ。
It's still filthy here, isn't is, Chloe?
掃除もまともにできないなんて本当。。。
You can't even do something like cleaning right. Honestly...
役立たずのままよね！
You're useless!

イリア！！
Bartender: Ilia!

[24]
出て行け！！
Bartender: Get out!
お前はもうここには置かん！！
You are not to set foot in here anymore!
二度と戻って来るな！！
Never come back again!

あのね。。。いってるでしょクロエは私の妹なんだから
Ilia: Say... I'm always saying it, right? Chloe is my sister, so...
私の許可も得ないで勝手なことする方が悪いんじゃない
She shouldn't be doing things on her own without my permission.
お前。。。
You...

クロエ
Bartender: Chloe!
お前ももうイリアを庇うのはやめなさい！　何でそこまでするんだ！！
You too, stop covering for Ilia! Why are you going so far for her?

どうしたんだ旦那？
Villager: What's up with the innkeeper?

うわっ　クロエちゃん血がでてるんぞ！
Villager:　Oh no, poor Chloe's bleeding!

[25]
クロエちゃんにケガまでさせるなんて。。。！
Woman: That she would go so far as to hurt poor Chloe...!

なんて奴だ！
Villager: What a bitch!

旦那の言う通りだ出ていけ！
Leave, just like the inkeeper said!

店だけじゃないむらからもだ！
Not just the shop, but the village too!

皆お前が嫌いなんだ
Everyone hates you!

居なくなった方がせいせいする！
We'll all be relieved once you're gone!

ふふ。。。ふふふ。。。
Ilia: Hehe... Hehehe...
[26]
ええ。。。いーわよ　出て行ってあげる。
Ilia: Yes, fine. I'll leave.
元々そのつもりだもの
I always intended to anyway.

。。。だって
Bartender: What。。。？

今日。。。この村無くなるんだから
Ilia: Because today... this village will be no more.
ここでの生活は結構楽しかったわ　好き放題できて
Well, it was pretty fun living here. I was able to do what I liked.
どうせ皆死ぬんだもの　嫌われたって関係ないわよね
In any case, you're all dead as it is. Whether you hate me or not doesn't matter.

何をいってるんだ。。。？
Bartender: What is she saying?
イリア
Ilia

[27]
あんたたちって本当バカね。。。
Ilia: You're all really such fools...
どうして２人の子供だけがスマーグから逃げることができたのか。。。疑問にかんじたことないの？
Why do you think two little children alone were able to escape a Smaug? You never asked yourselves that?
私。。。スマーグに頼んだの
I... begged that Smaug...
妹は殺したっていい！！
I don't care　if my little sister is killed!
でも私だけは助けて！！
Just have mercy on me!
そしたら契約してくれたわ　条件を守れば私は生かしてくれるって
And so, I made a pact. If I obeyed the conditions, he would let me live.
これがその証拠。。。
This is the mark...
スマーグの契約印。。。！
the seal of the Smaug's contract!

[28]
そう。。。スマーグと契約をした証　でも契約の条件を破ればこの契約印からスマーグに伝わり私はすぐ殺される
Ilia: That's right... proof that I made a deal with the Smaug. If I violated the terms, this mark would inform him and I would be killed.
だけど条件を守ってる間は決して殺されることは無いわ
But, as long as I kept the terms, he wouldn't kill me.
契約の条件は。。。
The terms of the contract were...
３年クロエへの殺意を失わないこと
For three years, to never lose my murderous feelings towards Chloe.
普通なら妹を憎しみ続けるなんて出来ないでしょうね
Normally, you wouldn't be able to go on hating your little sister, I suppose.
けど私には造作もないことだったわ。。。
But it was no trouble for me...
村が襲われるずっと前から
Long before the village was attacked,
私は“いいお姉ちゃん”で居ようとすつことに疲れてしまっていた
I was tired of playing the "nice big sister".
毎日苦労ばかりして。。。！
Every day, you're nothing but trouble!
大丈夫！こんなのへいきよ！
It's fine! Really, I'm fine like this!

[29]
いつも我慢していた！！
Ilia: I've always been patient!
これはクロエが食べな！
Go on, Chloe, you eat it!
役立たずで。。。　歌も下手だし！
You're no help... and you can't sing either!
クロエの歌を聞くと元気が出るわ！
It really makes me happy to hear you sing, Chloe!
ずっとおんたのことが　大嫌いだった！！
I've always hated you!
でも。。。あんたとももうこれまでよ
But... For you　as well, this is the end.

お。。。おい！
Villager: He...Hey!

まさかあれは。。。！
Villager: It can't be!

[30]
や。。。やばいぞ村一つ消したスマーグだ！！
Villager: This is bad! It's the Smaug who destroyed that village!

巻き込まれる。。。！逃げろ！！
Villager: We'll be caught! Run for it!

逃げてもダメよ
Ilia: Even if you run, it's no use.
あの時も皆にげたけど。。
Last time, everyone ran too.
生き残ったのは私とクロエだけって知ってるでしょ？
Didn't you know... Chloe and I were the only ones left alive?

何でお前のために　俺たちが死なないといけないんだ！！
Why do we have to die for your sake?

そ。。。
Yeah...

そうだ！！
That's right!

[31]
うわああん怖いよ！
Waaah! I'm scared!

お前が死ね！
Die!

なんでこんな目に。。。
Why is this happening?

人殺し！！
Murderer!

悪魔！
Devil!

ふふ。。。
Ilia: hehe...
あははははははは！！
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
そうせれでいい。。。
Yes, that's fine...
皆私を憎んで恨むのよ
Everyone hates me... everyone holds a grudge against me.
そうすれば。。。
Since that's the case...
死ぬのは私だけで棲む
Death will only be able to get away with me.

[32]
をれが本当の契約だから！
Ilia: That is the true contract!
こ。。。殺さないで。。。お願いします。。。！
D...Don't kill us! I beg of you!

下らん命乞い。。。これまで何百と聞いたことか。。。
Smaug: Don't stoop so low as to beg for mercy...Do you know how many hundreds of times I've heard that?

お願い。。。！
Ilia: Please!
殺すなら私だけにして！
If you kill anyone, just kill me!
私。。。どんな風に殺してもいいから！！
You can kill me however you like!
この子は見逃して。。。
Spare this child...
大切な妹なの！！
She's my precious sister!
だから。。。！
So!

[33]
殺すなら私だけ？　自分を擲って他者の命乞いをするなど。。。
Smaug: Just kill me? To sacrifice oneself to save the lives of everyone else...
愚かにも程がある！！
What a foolish notion!
いいだろう面白い！
Fine, I'll make things interesting!
どんな風に殺されても良いと言ったな！？
You say I can kill you however I like?
ならば３年間時間をやる！！
In that case, I'll do it in three year's time!!
その間にそこの妹を含めた　周囲の人間全てに嫌われろ！！
In that time, you must become despised by everyone, including your precious sister.

[34]
３年あれば様々な人間と関わりを持つだろう
Smaug: In three years, you should be able to involve yourself with many people.
だがそれら全員に嫌われ憎まれる存在になれ！！
But you must become that which they all hate and despise most.
お前が助けたいという妹にも嫌われ　完全な孤独になったならば
If you become hated by the sister you say you want to save, if you become completely alone,
殺すのはお前だけにしてやる
Then, I will indeed kill only you.
誰にも悲しまれること無く惜しまれること無くむしろ死ぬことを喜ばれながら。。。
No one must feel sorry for you. No one must value you. And all the while, you will rather you had died...
お前は３年後俺に食い殺される！！それが条件だ！！
And then, after three years, I will come to devour you. These are my conditions.
さあ　どうする！？
So, what will you do?
それでも妹の命乞いをするか！？
With all that, will you still save your sister's life?

クロエ。。。！
Ilia: Chloe!

[35]
私。。。父さんや母さんが居なくても
Ilia: I...even though we didn't have a mother or father...
お金がなくても
even though we had no money...
ひみじくても
even though we were always starving...
毎日辛くても。。。！！
even though life was always hard...
あなたが居たから。。。　毎日頑張って。。。生きてこられたの
Because you were there, I always did my best, and I was able to keep on living.

[36]
だから。。。
Ilia: So...
いいわ！！
Fine!
その条件で契約する！
I accept your conditions! It's a contract!
この３年は。。。決して簡単じゃなかった
These three years... haven't been simple.
皆優しくて素敵な人ばかりだから怒らせるのも一苦労。。。
Everyone was so wonderful and kind, it was so hard to upset them...
そして。。。
and then...
毎日辛くあたってゴメンね　クロエ。。。
I'm sorry that every day was so hard. Chloe...
だってあなたなかな嫌ってくれないから。。。　どうしようかとおもったよ。。。
And yet, no matter what, you wouldn't hate me...
どうしようかとおもったよ。。。
I thought, "what should I do..."

[37]
でも。。。
Ilia: but still...
やっと嫌ってくれて。。。本当によかった。。。
you finally did it. I'm so relieved...

いいだろう
Smaug: All right.
お前だけを殺してやる
I'll only kill you.
契約に縛れたお前の血肉は力となり
That flesh of yours bound by the contract will strengthen me.
俺はより一層の力をえる。。。！
I will become even more powerful!
契約だからな。。。
You promised, you know.

うわああ！！　来るぞ！！
Villagers: Aaaah! He's coming!

[38]
え。。。？
Ilia: wha...?
クロエ。。。！？
Chloe!

。。。？その小娘は昔の。。。
Smaug: ...? That little girl from long ago...
お前を助けに来たようにみえるが。。。！？
It seems like she's come to save you.
契約違反
Oathbreaker.
皆殺しだなあ？
It's death for everyone then, no?

待って。。。
Ilia:　wait...
離せ！離せこの。。。！
LET GO! LET GO, YOU LITTLE...!
何で来るのよ！？
Why did she come?
全部台無しになちゃう。。。！
Everything is ruined...
皆死ななくて済むのよ！
Everyone would be spared!
クロエだって生きられる！
Chloe could live!
私一人が死ねば
If only I died...
それでかいけつするのよ！！
That was what I resolved!
離せええええ！！
LET GO!!!!!

[39]
クロエ。。。！
Ilia: Chloe...

[41]
２人共　もうちょっと下がってろ
Boy: You two... Get back a bit...

この人。。。お客さん。。。！？
Ilia: That boy... he was a customer...

契約を守りに来たぞ
Boy: I've come to keep my contract.

クロエ
Boy: Chloe
３年よく耐えた
for three years, you've endured　bravely...

なんだ貴様は。。。！？
Smaug: What are you, brat?

[42-43]
スマーグだよ
I'm a Smaug.
２人を守りに来た
I've come to protect these two.

[44]
そのスマーグは世界に絶望していた
Narrator: This Smaug despaired of the world.
スマーグ同士の高い知能故の騙し合い
Though he was the other Smaug's equal in great intelligence, that they might deceive one another...
強い力故の傷つけ合いに
And his equal in strength, that they might wound each other...
日々疲れていた
Day by day, he grew weary.

今夜も。。。
Smaug 2: even tonight...
傷が癒えねえ。。。
my wounds do not heal...

信じられるものは無く
Narrator: There was nothing he could believe in...
信じる価値のあるものもきっとこの世に無い
surely, there was nothing in this world worth believing in.
そう思っていた
That is what he thought.

[45]
しかしーー
However---
子守り歌を聞くのはスマーグにとってはじめてのことだった
This was the first time a Smaug had ever heard a lullaby.
スマーグは歌わない
Smaugs do not sing.
こんなにも癒されるものがあることを
That was the first time a Smaug realized
スマーグは初めて知った
That such a thing could heal him...

[46]
なんだやめてしまうのか？
Smaug 2: What's this? Are you finished?
惜しいな
That's too bad...
今のは何なんだ？
What was that, just now?
もっと聞いていたい。。。
I want to hear more...

これは子守り歌。。。
Chloe: That was a lullaby...

[47]
守ってあげたい人のために　うたうものよ。。。
Chloe: It's something you sing for someone you want to protect.

守る？
Smaug 2:Protect?

お姉ちゃんはいつも無理ばかりするの
Chloe: My sister is always pushing herself too hard.
私を守るためなら
If it was to protect me...
自分自身も犠牲にする。。。！
She'd even sacrifice herself...!
今日だってそうなの。。。！
she said so today!
お姉ちゃん。。。スマーグと約束しちゃったの。。。！
Sister... made a contract with a Smaug!
私を守るために。。。
In order to protect me...
自分はしぬって！
She's going to die!

[48]
全部聞こえていたわ。。。！
Chloe: I could hear everything!
私。。。　どうしたらいいの。。。！？
What should I do?
私だってお姉ちゃんを守りたいのに。。。！
Even though I wanted to protect her too!

スマーグにとって
Narrator: For this Smaug...
少女の考え方は理解しがたいものだった
That little girl's way of thinking was something he wanted to understand.
スマーグは他者を利用して生きる
Smaugs live by using other people.
姉を利用すれば生きられるのに
But even though she could live by using her older sister
その姉を守りたいなど愚かしい考えた
That child foolishly thought of something like protecting her instead.
スマーグならばありえないだが
For a Smaug, that would be impossible.
だが
but

ならば。。。
So...

[49]
契約しいよう
Smaug 2: Let's make a contract.
条件がのめるなら俺がお前たちを助けてやろう
If you keep the conditions, I'll save you two.

もしもマシな世界があるのなら
Narrator: if perhaps there was a worthwhile world
それは人間の世界にあるような気がした
He felt that it might be in world of humans.

Humans have something that sets them apart from Smaugs.

Things like this song of protection called the lullaby.

This something that was worth believing in...

[50]
それをこの姉妹で試したい
He wanted to attempt it for these sisters.

[51]
ぐっ。。。
Smaug: Gah..

圧されている。。。！？
Is he overwhelmed?

何故だ！？お前は計悪者から何も得ていないはず。。。！
Smaug:　Why? You made a contract, you shouldn't be able to gain anything!
血も！
Neither flesh
肉も！
nor blood!
なのに何故これほどのちからが。。。！！
and yet, why do you have this power?

力なら俺はもらってる
Smaug 2: If　it's power you need, I have it.

条件？
Chloe: Conditions?

そうだ
Smaug　2:　Yes.

[52-53]
お前の声を俺がもらう　それが契約の条件だ
Smaug 2: I will take your voice. That is the condition of the contract.

え。。。
Chloe: y...

喋ることも歌うこともできない　だがそれに耐えてめせろ
Smaug 2:　You will not be able to talk, nor to sing. But you will have to bear it.
そうるれば俺はお前を助けに行く
If you do that, I will come to save you.
３年ご俺が助けに行くことで契約は完了する
After three years, I will come to save you, and the contract will be fulfilled.
契約によって俺は。。。
I will be bound by this contract...
力を得て
and you will have my power.
勝つことができる
I can win.

[54]
スマーグを他のスマーグが倒した。。。？
Ilia: That Smaug... Did he defeat the other Smaug?
あのスマーグは一体。。。
Just what is that other Smaug...
クロエ。。。あなたまさか。。。
Chloe... Surely, you...
クロエ！？
Chloe!
そっちは危ないわよ！クロエ！
It's too dangerous over there! Chloe!

[55]
別に礼なんていらねえよ
Boy:　There's no need to be humble.
俺は俺の目的のためにお前と契約しただけだ
I made a contract with you for my own ends, that's all.
そこのスマーグが力を欲したようにな
Just like that Smaug wanted power.
けど
But
俺は。。。力が欲しくて契約したわけじゃない
It wasn't because I wanted power that I made that contract.
だから。。。
So...
また聞かせてくれよ　お前の歌
Let me hear your song again.

[56]
クロエ！
Ilia: Chloe!
なんとなく分かったよ　あのスマーグが助けてくれたのも　クロエのおかげだったんでしょ？
Somehow, I think I understand. That Smaug saved us, and somehow, it was all thanks to you.
ゴメンね辛かったでしょう
I'm sorry. I know it was painful.
これからはちゃんと私が守るからね
From now on, it will be better, because I'll protect you.

。。。違う
Chloe: ...No.

[57]
辛い思いしてたのはいつもお姉ちゃんの方だった。。。
Chloe: It was more painful for you, sister.

クロエ声は。。。！
Ilia: Chloe, your voice...!

ありがとうスマーグさん
Chloe: Thank you, Mr. Smaug.
ずっとずっと言いたかったこと　やっと言える
I can finally say what I've been wanting to say for so long
もう一人で頑張るはやめて。。。！
Stop trying to do everything alone!
私だって力になるから。。。！
Because I'm going to become strong too!

[58]
クロエ。。。
Ilia: Chloe...
そうだね。。。
You're right.
ありがとう
Thank you...
もう小さいだけのあなたじゃないんだ
you're not just little Chloe anymore.
これからは力を合わせて　歩いていける
From now on, we　can go forward together, sharing our strength.
二人一緒に
The two of us, together.

[59]
お前たちは証明してくれた
Boy:　You guys have shown me the proof
こういうことがある世界なら俺もきっと生きていける
That I can live in this world if things like this exist.
世界は絶望だけじゃないと
That this world is not one of nothing but despair.

世界に響く希望の歌。。。
Narrator: the song of hope rings throughout the world...

三味弾き手の目
The Hand's Eye plays the shamisen

[52]
あっしは”手の目”だ。
Tenome: I am the Hand's Eye.
先見や千里眼で酒の席を取り持つ芸人だ。
A performer with the gift of foresight or clairvoyance who wanders between sake houses.
今　ちょいと手が離せねえ
right now my hand's a little stuck...

[53]
何しろ。この三味を弾き続けてねえと我が身が危ねえ。
Spirit: What are you doing? If you don't keep playing that shamisen, I'll be in danger!

え？なに？　手が塞がっていたって口は利けるだろうって？そいつは道理だ。
Tenome: Eh? What? You say even if my fingers are blocked, my mouth seems to be working? That is true.

[54]
座敷をしくじって　とんずら決め込んだがツイてねえ時はとことんだ　　山中で迷っちまって足は疲れるし腹は減る。
Tenome: The performance fell through, and my escape seemed assured. I had gotten well underway, when I got lost in the middle of the mountains. My legs were tired, and my stomach was empty.
暗くなったら山の物怪らしいのが追っかけてきやがった。
After it had grown dark, something like a spirit of the mountain chased me and then disappeared.
やつとのことで少し開けた所に出たら
I barely made it to a space that was a little more open.
ひどく寂れちゃいるもののやたらと立派なお館がデンと構えてやがる。
I thoughtlessly stumbled into a splendid mansion. It was built very grandly.

[55]
はい　御免なさいよ　道に迷った女芸人だ
Tenome: Excuse me. I'm a female performer who's lost her way.
いずれ、お山の怪しい代将のお住まいと察しますがね。
Anyhow, there was a powerful spirit from the mountain. If anyone lives here, they'll understand.
こちとらつかれていっちも　休ませてくれるンなら煮るなり焼くなりご自由に
I'm exhausted and there's no other way. If they let me stay here I'll gladly cook for them.

[56]
ホホホ。。。面白い娘がきたね
Host: Ho ho, an interesting girl has come my way.

出たな
Tenome: They've come out.
ところで　こちとら垢まみれだ。　これじゃ　お口にも合いますまい
By the way, I'm filthy from the road. I'm sure that doesn't suit your dignity. Won't you let me wash myself?

いいだろう
Host: Of course.
湯を沸かすからお入り
I'll boil some water and you can bathe.

[57]
ひゃあああ～～
Tenome: Aaaaah!
生き返る
I'm revived.

ところで　あっしの腹ン中は今からっぽだ
Tenome: By the way, my stomach is positively hollow.
ここに何か詰めたほうがきっと　食いごたえがあるんじゃねえかな。
if you were to put something in here I'm sure it would bear eating it.

いいだろう
Host: Of course.
膳をよういしよう
I'll prepare you a table.

[58]

あ～～～～うんめえ～～～っ！
Tenome: Ah! This is great!

ところでおまえ　芸人なら三味線ぐらい弾けるだろうね？
Host: By the way, miss. If you're a performer, you should know how to play the shamisen, right?

へ？三味ですかい
Tenome: Eh? The shamisen?

ああ　となりの間を覗いてごらん
Host: Yes. Take a look into the next room.

おっと
Tenome: Oh.

[59]
おまえに　その三味線をひいて欲しいのさ
Host: I want you to play that shamisen.

それというのもね
If you please.

このやまの奥に棲む物怪がしっこく私ねいい寄って婚儀をせまるのさ
The spirits that live on this mountain　have been visiting, and they insist that I hold a wedding ceremony.

「６０」

彼奴は三味線の音が苦手だが私は三味線には触れないのだ
Host: That man's sound was rather poor, but I am unable to touch the shamisen.

おまえには徹して弾き続けてもらいたい
I would like you to devote yourself to continuing to play.

何　義太夫や長唄をうなることはない。
What? It doesn't have to be a ballad or a long song.

ただ出鱈目にかきならしゃいいのさ
Just pluck out whatever comes to mind.

だけど　気を抜くんじゃないよ
However, don't get distracted.

つい根負けすると　この旅の坊主みたいに
If I run out of patience, you'll end up like this wandering monk.

すっかり精気を吸い尽くされてしまうからね。
I might end up sucking out all your life energy.

[61]
え～～～～いしっこい野郎だ！
Tenome: Hey, you obstinate bastard!
まだ参らねえか
You can't come yet!

[62]
これでどうだ！もっとかあああ！！
Tenome: How's this? Want some more?

[63]
ああ。。。山猫の化け物だったのか
Aah... Was that the mountain cat monster?
それで猫の皮をはった三味の音が苦手なのか
So it was weak to the sound of a cat-skin shamisen.
あれ？おまけにこいつは。。。雌なねえか
Hm? What's more, it was female...

よくやってくれたねえしつこい女で困っていたのだよ
Host: You did a very good thing for me. And now it's the obstinate woman who's in trouble.

え。。。え？え？
Tenome: Eh? Eeeeeeeh?

[64]
おまえこそ我が嫁にふさわしい
Host: You will be perfect for my bride.

え？
Eh?
あんた男だったのかい？
Tenome: You're a man?

さあ　共にこの館でいつまでも暮らすのだ
Host: Come. We'll live together in this mansion forever.

勝手に決めるな！！
Tenome: Don't decide that on your own!

ギャ！！
GYAA!

[65]
あ　ネズミか！
Tenome: Huh? A mouse?!
野ネズミだったのか！
You're a field mouse?
だから　猫の皮を張った三味線に触れなかったのか
So... You couldn't touch a shamisen made out of catskin.

無礼な奴め誰がおまえなど嫁にするものか
Host: Like anyone would want to make such a rude girl like you his bride.
土産をくれてやるからさっさと山を降りるがよい。
I'll give you a parting gift, just get off this mountain quickly.

[66]
はっ！？
Tenome: Wha-?!
気が付くとあっしは
By the time I noticed
崖の上で米俵に乗っていた
I was on the top of a cliff, sitting on a bag of rice.
こんな山の中で米俵一表土産に持たされても始末にこまる
In mountains like these, even one bag of rice as a souvenir is nothing but trouble.
さてこの先どうしてくれようか
So. Why did he give it to me?

Chapter 3
[35]
河童
Kappa

[36]
あっしは”手の目だ”
Tenome: I am "The Hand's Eye."

先見や千里眼で酒の席を取り持つ芸人だ
I am a performer with the gift of clairvoyance and foresight who wanders between sake houses.

[37]
ドジなはなしだが　座敷をしくじっちまった
Tenome: It's a long story, but I messed up the performance.

面倒は御免からさっさととんずら決め込んで　　こんなど田舎までながれてきちまったのさ
I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll get out of here quickly.
since I came all the way out to these remote parts.

悪かったな　ど田舎で　　乗らねえなら　船を出しちまうぞ
Old Man: Sorry to bring you out to the boonies.
If you don't get on, I'm taking the boat out.

[38]
姉さんここらは初めてかい　　どうだ広い川だろう
Old Man: say, miss, is this your first time in these parts?
What do you think? This river is immense, isn't it?

あっしは海辺の生まれだ　別に驚かねえ
Tenome: I was born by the sea. This isn't really surprising.

川なんぞいくらひろくたって　しょせんお山が垂れ流すしょんべんみてえなもんさ
and as for rivers, no matter how wide they are,
the really just look like the mountain's pissing.

[39]
口の悪い姉さんだ川は怖いぞ　ほら見な
Old Man: you've got quite a mouth, miss. Rivers are frightening.
see, look.

はっ！？
Tenome: Huh?!

きやがったきやがった
Old Man: here they come, here they come.

[40]
河童だ！？
Tenome: Kappa?!

おうよ　こいつらは人間の肝が大好物なんだぜ
Old Man: That's right. Their meal of choice is human liver.

おっと　まだ
Hey, not yet.

手をだしちゃならねえまってろ
You mustn't lay a hand on her yet. Just wait.

こいつらは俺のいいなりだ
They do everything I ask.

合図ひとつでおそってくるぞ
with one signal they'll attack.

[41]
ふん　てめえは河童の元締めかい
Tenome: Hmph. So you're the kappa's boss.

命がおしいけりゃ　みぐるみ脱いでだしてもらおうか
Old man: if your life means anything to you
How about you strip and give me everything you have.

おっとその物騒なかんざしも渡してもらおう
Oh. Why don't you hand over that nasty looking hairpin as well?

[42]
あ　待て！
Old man: Wait!

(sfx): splash!

glub, glub

[43]

[44]
ちぇつ　　惜しいことをした
Old man: Tsch, what a waste.

まだ少し小便臭いが
it still smells a little like piss.

あのアマ女郎やに売り飛ばせはいくらか銭になったろうに
I wonder how much coin I would've gotten by selling that bitch at a brothel.

[45]
悪かったな　小便くさいって
Tenome: Piss, you say? Sorry about that.

あ　　てめえ
Old Man: You!

かっぱに食われなかったのか
You weren't eaten by the kappa?

おうよ
Tenome: That's right.

[46]
お仲間が話があるってよ
Tenome: your frie--nds say they have a story for you.

そうじゃ　　わしらは思い出したのじゃ
Kappa: Yes
We've just remembered.

この娘とはなｈして思い出したのじゃ
After talking with this girl, we've remembered.

わしらは元々
We weren't kappa to begin with.

人間じゃ
We were human!
We were human!
We were human!

[47]
船頭よ　　おまえに川へ突き落とされて
溺れて死んでその果てに
Kappa: you, the boatman, threw us off.
To sink beneath the water and die.

河童となってよみがえり
おまえにこき使われておったのだ
Kappa: We were turned into kappa and resurrected. You made us work to the bone.

すっかり思い出したぞ
もうだまわれぬ
Kappa: I remember it all!
We won't be tricked any longer!

さあ、覚悟しろ
Kappa: come, prepare yourself!

[48]
船頭　てめえの悪行はお目通しだぜ
手の目の刺青は伊達じゃねえぞ
Tenome: Boatman, your sin is revealed!
The Hand's Eye tattoo is no mere ornamentation!

[49]

[50]
やれやれ
またひとつなんの得にもならねえ功徳をしちまった
Tenome: Oh dear.
Yet another pious deed that does me no good.

それより早いとこ座敷を見つけないと
Although, if I don't find that sake house promptly...

それこそこっちが河童の火事見舞い
Was all that the kappa's condolences after a fire?

頭の皿も干上がっちまわあ
Even the plates on their heads were dry.

for this chapter, all lines go to our heroine, so it was easier to just omit speaking credits. Page numbers are continuous with the first chapter.

chapter 2: The Whale God

[20]
あっしは”手の目”だ
先見や千里眼で旦那方の酒の席を取り持つ芸人だ。
I am the "Hand's eye"
I am a performer with the gift of clairvoyance and foresight who travels between the sake houses of my noble patrons.

[21]
親なし家なしの浮草家業。
旅も随分しましたさ。
It's the job of a floating reed who has no parents nor family.
I've made many journeys.

何そんな洒落たもンじゃねえ。
その地に居られなくなったから他へ逃げなきゃ仕様がねえ。
It's nothing glamorous.
When I could no longer stay in one place all I could do was flee elsewhere.

ただ　その繰り返しを続けたら
いつの間にかの旅鳥
However, as I continued this cycle,
before I knew it I had become a migrating bird.

ある時浜へでたと思いねえ
One time, I was at the beach...

[22]
あー
勇魚（鯨）だ
Ah-
It's a whale.

勇魚てえのは不細工な野郎でね。
間違って浜に上がっちまうともう　どうにもならねえ。
Now you see, Whales are rather ugly fellows.
It had made a mistake, coming up on the beach. There was no way to help it.

てめえの重さで息が出来なくなって死んじゃうのさ
Because of its weight, it couldn't breathe anymore. It was going to die.

[23]
難儀な奴だねおまえも
You're suffering, aren't you.

あたしひとりじゃ沖へも戻してやれない。
漁師を呼んでもここでさばかれて食われちまうばかりだ。
Well, I can't return you to the open sea all by myself.
And if I call the fishermen here, they'll just decide to eat you.

なんでえ泣いてるのかい
でかい図体して情けねえ。
Why are you crying?
With such a huge frame, it's just pitiful.

いいよ　寂しけりゃあたしが居てやる
It's okay. If you're lonely, I'll be here.

[24]
こうしてついて居てやるよ
I'll be right here, like this.

ほら、空は青いよ
まるで頭の上に海があるみたいだねえ
Look, the sky is so blue.
It looks like there's an ocean above your head.

[25]
あたしは　勇魚が息をしなくなるまで色々話してやってから。
人がくる前にそこを離れたよ。
I stayed with the whale until it could no longer breathe, telling it all kinds of stories.
Before any other people came, we parted.

あ
Ah.

[26]
何か飛んでくると思ったら。
Somehow, I felt like something was flying behind me.

おまえだったのかい
So it was you.

[27]
あいよわかったよ
もう空にお帰り。
You like me, I get it.
Go back home to the sky.

ついてけるじゃないよ！
くるなってば！
Don't follow me!
I said not to come!

[29]
こら　いいかげんにしろ！
Cut it out already!

変なもんに懐かれちまった
それでもこのごろは見なくなって
The strange creature had somehow become attached to me.
What's more, these days I haven't been able to see him.

やれやれ成仏してくれたかひとあんしん
そう思っていたのにさ。
I'm relieved. I think he's finally gone to heaven.

そもそも旦那もいけねえや
芸人に手を出すもんじゃねえ
Now, this is no good, sir.
You can't lay a hand on a storyteller.

[30]
なあに　あたしもこんなのはなれっこさ。
酒の上の戯れごとはいつものことさ。
What? I'm used to this sort of thing.
A little wantonness after sake happens all the time.

酔っぱらいのひとりぐらい
笑ってあしらえるってのに。
It's just one drunkard.
I can just smile and deal with him.

[31]
どすん！
SFX: THUD!!

[32]
あ～～～～あ～～～
余計なことしやがって。
Oh dear.
That was a little overkill.

あたしを助けたつもりかい？
大きなお世話だってんだよ。
Did you mean to save me?
You've certainly done a lot to take care of me, but...

笑ってごまかすなあ！！
It's not something you can laugh at!!

(grin)

[34]
さて、困った。
残ったのはぺしゃんこ旦那とあたしだけ
Well, now I'm in trouble.
All that's left is me and my flattened patron.

この始末どうしてくれようか
Why did you give me this to deal with?

おわり

Chapter 1:　The tiger-eaten soul

[page 4.]
あっしは”手の目”だ
先見や千里眼で酒の席を取り持つ芸人だ
Girl:I am the "Hand's Eye"
A performer with the gift of foresight or clairvoyance who wanders between sake houses.

[page 5.]
今日も料亭に呼ばれて出てきたンだが
妙ちきりんなことにこの竹林からなかなか出られねえ
急がねえとお座敷におくれちまう
Girl:Today again I was called to an inn and came to perform, but...
Surely, nothing suspicious will come out of this bamboo thicket.
If I don't hurry, I'll be late to the reception.

・・・てえ。ところに声をかけてきた兄さんは何者でい？
Girl: Oh? Was it your voice I heard? Who are you?

[page 6.]
そうかい。姉さんは芸人さんかい
Kochou: Is that so? You're an actor, missy?

心配すんな。俺怪しい者じゃねえ。
Kochou: Don't worry. I'm not a suspicious person.

おきやがれ。”俺は怪しい者だ”って名乗る奴が何処に居る
Girl:Get real. Where is it that there are people who announce "I am a suspicious person?"

へへ。威勢のいい姉さんだがここらは最近物騒だ。
俺で良けりゃ道行きの相方をつとめるがね。
Kochou: Hehe, you're an authoritative girl. But lately these parts have been dangerous.
If you'd like, I could serve as your companion on the road.

[page 7.]
とかなんとかいって
送り狼に化けるンじゃねえのかい？
Girl:That's what you say.
Sure you won't change into a wolf who just wants a bite of me?*

*okuriookami is a word that specifically refers to men who pretend to be nice and walk girls home but are really just trying to be invited upstairs. However, the animal imagery is important, so I kept it in the English.

へへ狼どころか
ここらは最近虎が出る
Kochou: Hehe, a wolf?　Not at all.
Around here, lately it's been a tiger.

虎！？
Girl: a tiger!?

化け物みてえにでかい虎がな
人を襲って食い殺すのさ
Kochou: Yes, a monstrous huge tiger.
one that hunts down, kills and eats people.

[page 8.]
まさかね.支那の山奥じゃあるめえし
ここは場末といっても帝都の端っこだ
虎なんか居る道理がねえ
Girl: Yeah right. This isn't the deep mountain crags of china.
This may be a rundown district, but it's the edge of the imperial capital.
There's no reason for a tiger to be here.

それがいるんだから仕方ねえ
もう何人も虎の餌食になってるんだ
Kochou: But there is one, so it can't be helped.
I wonder how many people have already become the tiger's meal...

ハッ！
Girl: Ah!

[page 9]
獣に生きたまま腸を食われるのは
あんまりたのしいこっちゃねえぞ。
Kochou:To have your innards eaten by a beast while still alive...
it's not a very fun prospect.

こんな物騒な竹林は
はやく通り抜けるに限るぜ。
A dangerous bamboo grove like this...
Quickly. Let's cut through here.

[page 10]
ふん
Girl: hm

なんでえ
まだ俺が信用ならねえか
Kochou: What is it?
You still don't have any trust in me?

信用も何も
さっきからオレらは竹林の中グルグル回ってるだけじゃねえ。
Girl:not trust, not anything.
Just now, you've only been turning us around in circles inside the grove, am I right?

なあ、兄さん。
支那じゃ虎に食われて死ぬと
人の魂は“虎倀”になって虎の奴隷になるっていわれてるらしいな
You know, mister.
In China, it seems they say if someone is eaten by a tiger and dies,
their soul becomes a kochou, a slave to the tiger.

こちとら最初からわかってたさ
Girl:We've both known all along

[page 11]
てめえは血だらけ傷からけで
腸くり抜かれた,死骸じゃねえか
Girl: That you are covered with blood and wounds.
Your guts have been gouged out. You're nothing but a corpse.

”手の目”の刺青は伊達じゃねえ
すっかりお見通しだぜ！
"The Hand's Eye" tattoo is not for show.
It lets me see through everything!

[page 12]
ひひひ。そうさ。その通りさ
Kochou: Heeheehee. That's right. Exactly.

虎の旦那に新しい獲物を献上すりゃあ
入れ替わりに俺は成仏できるんだ!
If I were to provide Master Tiger with new spoils,
they would take my place and I could die in peace!!

[page 13]
後ろか！！
Girl: from behind?!

[page 14]
虎だ！？
本当に虎だった！？
Girl: A tiger?
It was truly a tiger?

[page 15]
確かに手応えはあったぜ
のど笛を掻っ切ってやったんだが。。。
Girl: well, that was quite the reaction.
I got it by cutting its windpipe, but...

おっと?こりゃなんだ？
oh? What's this?

あれ?
手の目かい！？
Proprietess:ah?
The Hand's Eye?

へ？
女将？
Girl:eh?
The shop mistress?

[page 16]
あんた遅いよ！
何やってたんだい！？
Proprietess: You're late.
What have you been doing?

今頃きて
座敷をしくじるよ！
Coming here at a time like this...
The reception is ruined.

なんでえ。
ここは。。。料亭の庭じゃねえか
Girl:What?
This... Isn't this the inn's garden?

[page 17]
あんたその引き摺ってきたのは
いったいなんだい？
Proprietess:That thing you've dragged with you,
What in the world is it?

こりゃ。。。屏風じゃないのかえ？
なんでそんな物持ってくるのさ
That's...a folding screen, isn't it?
Why are you carrying such a thing?

こいつかい？
ああ。。。
Girl:This?
Well...

こりゃとらの絵屏風だ。
This is a screen painted with a tiger.

[page 18]
ふん。どっかに落ちてたのを拾ってきたのかい？
汚らしいねえ。
Proprietess: Hmph. Where did you pick that off the ground?
It looks awfully dirty.

おまえ、あたしにそれをうりつけようてえきじゃあるまいね？
そんな。。。破れかぶれの虎の絵なんか誰が要るもんかい
You don't want to sell that thing to me, do you?
Who needs a ripped-up painting of a tiger?

おわり
