155
Doc: They're nanomachines.
Chapter 37: What a Wonderful World![tn: The title actually says “Life is such a beautiful thing”, but using this reference instead was all too tempting to pass up.]

156
They're similar to cells in size, using waste products as raw materials for self-propagation, spreading around in Her Highness' body in the process./And this is the most likely reason why she's in a coma!
Vera: And how did those things get into her in the first place.........?
Angie: I'll be taking it on from here, doctor.//The nanomachines have taken residence in Her Highness' brain, stimulating her frontal lobe./All of it in a endeavor to scan her deeper consciousness.[tn: Why, Angel why?!! Why did you have to be a boy?! Booo-hooo-hooo!!*sniff* *sob*]
Romulus&Remus: Her deeper consciousness?!/Why would anyone do such a thing?

157
Angie: To uncover whatever secret she might be holding onto, probably.
Wolf: !/The Three Clans, I take it?
Doc: Her brain is currently sending α waves. The REM stage, if you care about modern speak.
Wolf: You mean she's dreaming...?
Doc: Probably.//But these occasional noise patterns are what I'm really worried about./I suspect they're at the heart of the whole scanning system.......
Akira: So......../What now...?

158
Akira: Is she gonna wake up at some point?!/You can't tell me she's just gonna stay like that...
Doc: .......This is and extremely delicate situation, no doubt./It's absolutely impossible to access the nanomachines from the outside.//And the dreadful part about it is the extensive damage they're causing to her bodily functions./Any foreign substance in the circulatory system of a True Blood would be eliminated within minutes, normally. If even that specific process is unable to kick in.........
Akira: What of it?!
Doc: A vampire whose cardiopulmonary functions decline will spontaneously enter the Sleep of the Dead to protect itself./But the nanomachines are compelling her brain into a state of sustained activity.//At worst........ Her Highness' brain tissue will be destroyed./Damaged beyond repair........

159
Akira: Vera-san.//What do we do about it?!/What?
Angie: Calm down, Akira./I've worked out something.//Her Highness' body has been releasing some weak, electro-magnetic waves./Do you know what that means? The nanomachines are transmitting the data they've been collecting.
Akira: Where to?!

160
Angie: That's an easy one./To somebody who knows how to handle machines, obviously!!//Judging by the electromagnetic waves' output, the effectiveness range would be within a 2km radius around the core of this building, give or take!
Akira: So they're here inside the Bund!!
Wolf: Everyone from Beowulf and the VGS, move out!!/Search all buildings within a 2 kilometers' radius.[tn: For the metric system-impaired, that's 1,24 miles.]//...The Senate if fairly well-informed about those machines, it seems./We're gonna have a little talk, when this is all over.
Angie: Certainly!/Coming up with a short explanation would've been a bit of a hassle..........

161
Akira: (Hime-san....../I'd like to know........//Tell me......./What it is you are dreaming about.)

162
Jiji: Miiinaaaa.//Where are you going?
Mina: Classic Literature Teachers' Room!
Glasses: Ah-hah.♥
Gal: Makes sense!
Mina: Wha......what?/I'm only going because I need to discuss matters with the advisor from the Student's Council.

163
Gal: Uuuuh-huuuuh.
Mina: What?
Glasses: We'll just leave it at that, shall we.
Mina: But it's true.
Gal: By the way, Mina! Did you read Yuki-nee-san's last book?!
Mina: I did!
Glasses: Yeah, 'twas fine.
Jiji: You really like that stuff, don't you.
Glasses: You oughta give it a try.
Jiji: What's wrong, Mina?
Mina: Jiji. There's something over there. Can you see it?
Jiji: Around the bench, you mean?

164
Jiji: ?/Nothing special...//Is there anything in particular?
Mina: ......./No, nothing.//If you can't see it, never mind.
Sign: Classic Literature Teachers' Room
Mina: Teaaacheer. Are you theeere?

165
Mina: Tea........//THA HEEEEEEL. I'm here to see my fiancé.
Akira: Ooooow. Stop it, you idiot. That hurts!!

166
Mina: ......../Good day to you, Kaburagi-sensei.
Akira: ....... You understand the situation, right?/We are teacher and student, and this is school.
Mina: I fail to see how it matters at all.
Akira: Well, I don't! I could get fired for that!!

167
Mina: Good. Then we can be together. I'll just have to become the breadwinner and support you, is all.
Akira: Stooopid./What the hell are you talking about, kid?//Ouch.
Mina: I've grown taller now, and my breasts are bigger too. Look!/I'm not just a kid anymore.//I am...../I am no longer coming up short compared to you any more!

168
Akira: I know./Now you've become splendid. Just splendid.//Uuuuh. But I gotta say, I'm afraid my self-restraint is threatening to fly out the window any minute now. Sorry about that.
Mina: Akira...//I don't mind./If that's what you want...
Akira: It's been no vacation, but so far I've been able to hold out./Hurry up and mature, please.//Then, we can be together always........

170
Narrator: Morning, 1:30 AM.
Remus (?):This is Team Alpha. Nothing to be found in our area!!/What about the other teams?
Voice: Nothing to report yet!!
Akira: Pfeh.
Voice: Captain!! Take a look outside.
Remus: !
Voice: This is an emergency!!

171
Dude: Will you stop that!!/He's just a barely arrived newcomer!/He looks suspect.
Remus: What's the matter........?
Dude: The intel about Her Highness has leaked out! The entire island is overrun with panic!!
Akira: A leak....... From where........?
Remus: The enemy........

172
Remus: They're causing a riot on the whole island in an attempt to hinder the investigation........
Vera: We've already gathered over 100.000 accounts regarding suspicious individuals within the hour. Communications are frozen./The commanding officers are starting to be affected by this!!
Akira: What's going on?
Remus: I guess our weaknesses have been exposed.//This kingdom exists at all but for Her Highness' charisma........./Take that away........ and the whole thing falls apart like a game of dominos.
Akira: Please. That's enough.

173
Akira: The princess......... The princess dying........./No way........./It can't..........
Hama: Get a grip on yourself! You're the same guy who won the gamble with the Three Clans, are you not!!//This isn't quite as bad as it was... At least you aren't under attack.
Akira: It can't be......./It can't be........
Voice: Everyone gather into the Medical Center at once.
Remus: What's wrong?
Voice: We've found out something new. I'll let you know the details in due course. We're pressed for time!!
Remus: Let's go! Akira.
Akira: Ah./Yeah.

174
Akira: ........The Fangless

175
Yuki: Akira-kun!
Akira: Yuki! What are you doing here?
Yuki: Someone from the Bund took picked me up.//Say. You're going to save the princess, aren't you?/You'll save her, yes?
Akira: ..........
Yuki: Tell me, Akira-kun?!
Hama: Akira, Move it!
Yuki: Akira-kun!

176
Angie: The electro-magnetic waves are a bluff!
Remus: A bluff?
Angie: The doctor said there was a noise mixed with her brain waves.//That very noise is the real signal. The one we're looking for.//The enemy's been using the brain waves to camouflage it and circumvent the monitoring devices. And they've used the hospital's local network to hack for the information./In other words... you know what that means!!//Our enemy is here, inside this building!!

177
Vera: The hospital's network can be accessed from virtually anywhere inside the building. Comb every single room!//To the -5th level. Check the medical supplies room for jamming devices on the security system.//The security cameras are on a loop! Clearly somebody's been messing around with them.//To the fifth underground level./Move out.

178
Soldiers: The code on the electronic lock has been changed./It won't answer any command.
Leeroy&Heinrich: Stand aside!!

180
Wolf: So this terminal is the only thing we've got.........
Angie: We're gonna have trouble stopping the nanomachines now./We'll have this computer analyzed immediately, but there's no telling how long it's gonna take.........
Akira: .......
Wolf: Akira........ You've done enough. Go back to Her Highness' side.
Doc: Wolf-dono... Her Highness is a heir to the True Blood./There's no way a bunch of nanomachines could take control of her mind and body, no matter how many of them there are.

181
Doc: It's only... a possibility. But chances are this situation is keeping up only because she wishes it.
Wolf: She wishes it...?//It's very simple, then./I'd be thankful if Her Highness ever got in the mood to wake up. But the fact is..........//that she's dreaming./What kind of dream that is, a fledging like me can't begin to comprehend. But//But it's without doubt extremely fulfilling./More preferable to her than the burden of reality.

182
Akira: Mina.
Mina: Akira.

183
Mina: For some reason I feel like I've been living a very, very long dream.
Akira: A dream?/Indeed.//I've been awaiting this day for an eternity.//Now we can be together forever./Let's go.
Mina: Yes.......

185
Shade: Rh........
Mina: ........ Quit following me./I'm going with him.
Shade: RRH.//Gh.../Rh...

186
Shade: Meow! ROOOOOOOAAAAAAA

187
Shade: AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR
Mina: You.//Aah. I see.../So it was you........

188
Akira: ........Mina?
Mina: Forgive me. I can't be with you.//Someone's waiting for me.../on the other side.

189
Akira: MINA.
Mina: Thank you./You've made me happy.[tn: BOOOO-HOOOOO!! *sniff*]
Akira: MINA

191
Mina: ......./Akira.//I'm back./You called me, and here I am.

192
Mina: Don't cry./I'm not going anywhere. Anywhere at all.
Narrator: AM 5:00/Situation solved.
Mina: So don't cry.[/end

OMAKE
Note: That surprised me at first, but for information the reading order for the omake is not quite like that of a normal manga. You read the panels strictly from top to bottom starting on the right side, and only when it's done do you read what's on the left side, in a similar fashion.

194
Maids: Hime-sama. Good to see you're unharmed.
Mina: You must have been worried.
Maids: We were mortified.../we would have followed even inside your dream if only we'd known how!!//I wish I could've seen you grown up... or wearing your wedding dress. One look... Just one look.
Mina: You guys showed up in my dreams too.
Maids: OOOOOOH!

195
Mina: The three of you were serving as joint leaders for the Student Council!!
*Yellow Fern./Red Fern./White Fern.*
Mina: You get the idea.
Mina: (I was on the executive commitee, which operated under it.)/Sorry to interrupt, Senpai!
Maid: Se... senpai!!
Maid: Ah!! Pray tell me we didn't behave insolently towards you.
Mina: Nope...
Mina: (You were extremely polite.)
Maid: Mina-san, would you like some more tea?
Mina: Um... What about work...?
Maid: Just leave that to Kaburagi-sensei.♥/Uhuhu. So lovely.
*Everybody's big sister./Combines spirit and sensuality!*
*The Academy's noble youth./Proficient with the pen and the sword!!*
*Member of the Manga club. Former evangelist.*
Mina: Well... Not much of a break from reality.
Maids: Ooooooh.

196
Maid: Aaah. Being one of Hime-sama's school friends.../This is really the stuff of dreams.♥
Maids: It's true that I do get worried when we aren't around to help. Makes me wish we could always be there with her.
Mina: Oooh?//You want to attend school too?/Would you like that?
Maid: You'd allow us?!
Mina: Oh, crap./Guess that was a rash thing to say.
Jiji: Is it true that we showed up in your dream too?
Mina: It is. You were all grown-up.//Jiji was a chivalrous young man./Anna was smart./And Clara had blossomed like a flower.
Jiji: Chivalrous!/I'm wondering what it was like.
Clara: I wanna grow up.
Anna: Eh. What.
Jiji: What's wrong, Hime-sama.

197
Akira: I'd turned into an old guy. I just can't piture that.
Mina: You were pretty manly, and good-looking.//You had a soft side, and there was a somewhat sternly handsome look about you too.../...Ah, yes.//Just like Wolf, when he's in a bad mood.//Why is he mad?
Vera: You told him he looked just like his dad, and to a teenage boy, that's just verboten.
Mina: Yuki. You'd become a novelist./And quite a famous author, at that.
Yuki: Eh? Really?//So... um/how popular was I...?
Mina: Enough to let "The Island" make it into the comic market. Nello told me.
Yuki: I... see./I don't know if I should be happy about that...[tn: If I understand correctly, Yuki is afraid her work's been adapted into a Yaoi manga, lol.]
Angie: To be continued in the 7th volume!!/Friend?/Or Foe?
