- “Avatar”. Originating in Sanskrit, it has the meaning of “incarnation”.
- Those Deva and Asura who have been reborn are unable to use their powers on their own,
- so they must choose an Avatar (a normal human) to fight in their stead.

- If they lose, their existence will vanish. Thus for Deva and Asura…

02-----
- choosing an Avatar on whom they’ll be betting their own lives is a very important matter.
Text beside Kurando: Volumes 1 ~ 2 on sale now!! / Volume 3 goes on sale in June!!
Text across the two: The earth’s population is approximately 6.8 billion. Probability of 2 people meeting would be – a 1/6800000000 chance.
Chapter title: Chapter 14: Choosing a partner is vital.

- Metropolitan Police Department—
- Section chief Nanase!

Linked bubble: If you’re going out, I’ll bring the car around.
- The company car can’t be used for private business.
- Where are you headed?

- It’s a small matter. No need to concern yourself.

- I’ll return in 2 hours time.

Text along left of page: Deva, Asura, Avatar… and?

04-----
- A pharmaceutical company that boasts the highest domestic market share in Japan…
- Ryuudou Pharmaceuticals.
Sign: Ryuudou Pharmaceuticals

- As illegitimate children of Ryuudou’s president, the siblings were officially welcomed into the family 5 years ago.
- The elder sister, Ryuudou Kyouka, is the reincarnation of an Asura called Vritra, who is said to be the origin of calamities.
- And the younger brother who also takes the role of her Avatar, Ryuudou Taiga. Even at such a young age, he acts as a special consultant of the company…

- What a touching life story.
- Furthermore, their intention is…

05-----
- to take this disease-ridden world,
- through the Asura’s victory,
- and heal and reconstruct it anew.

- A vague idea full of petty idealism, when it’s put into words.
- …well, maybe that’s how people with such special powers think.

- It’s best to allow things to proceed according to the Ryuudou siblings’ will. [linked] Those special powers are wasted on an Avatar-less Asura.

- This is where I, of the Metropolitan Police Department, shall inject realism into their plan.

- From this dangerous persons watchlist that I hold,
- I can provide Avatars aplenty.

06-----
- Disposable pawns are required in the process of creating a new world. They are the perfect candidates.

- Big brother, I wonder if he’s coming out soon…

- Bye bye Tabe-chaaan.
- Mm. I’ll be going—
- Hm?

07-----
- Wada-kun is… cross dressing!?

- Um~~~
- Y, yes!

- Heeeeey, Wada’s comiiiing!

08-----
- What? Why am I being treated like this these days?

- Eroterrorist Wada-sama, will you be flipping skirts again today?
- Huh!?

Asteriks: Explanation
- Before, his mind reverted to the age of 9 (in a 16 year old body), and completed the dubious task of flipping up all the girls’ skirts. Now all the girls are wary of him.
- …Honestly,

- I said I had no interest in your bodies.
Box: Dug his own grave.
- What’s with that way of phrasing!? [linked] How mean!
- Don’t compare us with Lisa’s nice body, idiot!!

- C, compare, there’s no way… [linked] It’s not as if I like overly gigantic boobies…
Box: Confused.

09-----
- What did you say about my boobies~~~~?
- Let me hear you say it again~~~!?

- This is bad! I can hear my back cracking…
- Gack…

- Wada-kun, you here? Your little sister is…
- Li…

10-----
- Lisa’s boobies… are the best in the… world.

- Ah! Mafuyu-chan—[heart]

11-----
- Everyone, I’m sorry big brother is always troubling you.
- No, you’re wrong, just now was~~
- Awww, what is it?
- Wada’s…
- little sister…

- Twins!?

- How cute—[clef]
- It’s my first time seeing boy and girl twins!
- Big brother!
- Why’re you suddenly calling me “big brother”!!

- Mafuyu, what happened yesterday? I called you so many times! [linked] From Lisa’s cell…
- Eh.
- Twin sensor… anyhow, I felt something!!

12-----
- Nothing happened. The phone couldn’t connect, sorry. [linked] … that is, I came to meet a person called Kajiwara Ryou-san today…
- Kajiwara Ryou!!?

- You called?
- Are you stupid!? What’s with that good timing!!

- Ooh!

13-----
- How do you know Mafuyu?
- Big brother!
- If you harm my sister…

- I know, she’s very important to you.

- Geez!

- I can’t talk like this~~! [linked] Lisa-san, take big brother back!
- Gotcha.
- Ma, Mafuyu!
- Call me as soon as something happens!!

14-----
Bold text on Kurando: Mafuyuuuuu [Kurando’s face is so cute here!]
Lisa: Okay, okay.
Text beside bubble: good boy.
- He has a huge sister complex.

- Wada-kun’s really overprotective.
- …huh? [linked] The sister’s uniform, it’s from Ryouka Girls’… middle school division.

- The alert from Kurando’s twin sensor yesterday, [linked] and the feeling me and Indra had…
- And now that it turns out the ex-Asura Avatar Ryou is involved somehow,

- It’d be useless to tell him not to worry.

- Um… here.

15-----
- Thank you about before.
- Were you able to remember what happened yesterday?

- I was on my way to where big brother was… [linked] and the next thing I knew Kajiwara-san was taking me home…
- Hmmm.

- That’s a pretty convenient method of forgetting.
- Yesterday—
- A fool Asura had kidnapped and taken this girl to the roof of a building, where the thing I had been looking for…

16-----
- was displayed beyond my expectations.
- Nooooooooooooo!!

- Ah!?

- I’m in Ashram’s circle!
- Is she… Asura, or Deva!?

17-----
- What the hell is this!?
- Nothingness…
- I don’t know which way is up or down.
- …what I do know is that feelings are seeping into my body.

- Fear, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, are these her feelings?

18-----
- The hell? What’re you looking at?

- I am Shiva… and also Mafuyu. I have been sealed, when fear or suffering breaks Mafuyu’s heart, my “power”
- will bring about “oblivion” that overwhelm even Avatars.

- The world’s existence,
- and those who realise it will disappear.

19-----
- Become unfeeling…
- is that also Mafuyu’s wish…

- Huuuh~~~? I dunno if you’re Asura or Deva,
- but I didn’t hear your opinion, nor do I want to understand.

- The existence of fear and suffering is proof that you’re alive!
- You think I’d make this world vanish after I finally found happiness in it!?

20-----
- You are not Shiva…
- I’m asking you!!

- You want to despair so much that you don’t realise there’s no longer anything in this world!?
- So you’re satisfied with escaping to a place like this where nothing exists!?

- Answer me!!!

- …ah,
- I…

21-----
- I’m back…!
- …actually, was it just my consciousness that entered this girl?

- You really surprised us there!
- Anyhow, let’s crush them. An eye for an eye!!

- What’s this? Looks like a snotball.

22-----
- Whoooa— that was bad, that was bad. [linked] One little grain made that Asura disappear along with one third of the building.
- A power that overwhelms even Avatars… indeed. If she awakens, it might just make a planet vanish…

- Interesting.

- Kurando’s twin sister.
Text beside neck: Seems like a part of her mind is unstable.
- An ability that has to be sealed away.

23-----
- Ah…!

- Did you think I wouldn’t attack you?

- Someone who can become big brother’s friend must be a good person.

- Haha!
- Weird reason.

- Also, someone who really does it wouldn’t talk about it.
- I see, that’s true.

24-----
- Hey, sorry for the wait.

- Ma, ma, Mafuyu are you okay? He didn’t do anything weird to you?
- Of course not.

- Listen up.
- Mrgh.

- Mafuyu thinks we’re friends.

- See you, Mafuyu.

- Y, yes!
- Don’t say her name so casually!!

25-----
- What was that about really?
- I came to return something I borrowed.

- Hm—
- I don’t feel anything out of the ordinary now… was I thinking too much?

- …Mafuyu. She’s too interesting to leave alone.
- I’ll keep this quiet from Kurando [clef] [smaller text] Cos he’s got a sister complex.

26-----
Plaque: Kongou Group

- I’m home~~

- Welcome back, young Miss.

- Ah! Amano-san.
Text above Kai: welcome baaack.

- Kai-kun, we’re going out in a bit.
- Okay.

- Well, is that Amano-chan?

27-----
- Houjinkai’s president-san!

- In the time I didn’t see you, you’ve become womanly~~~

- Where shall I touch to check [clef]

- Aww stop it Uncle! [linked] Those scars on your face will increase [heart]

- Did Uncle come about a fairly important matter?
- Hmm? Gahahaha! [linked] I give up, I can’t hide anything from Amano-chan.

Indra’s father: Amano, go to your room.
Indra: I’m home, papa.
- Stop calling me papa.

- Papa, I am already a member of the family.
- I would like to know about the circumstances surrounding the family.

28-----
- Well then, let’s continue our talk. [linked] I didn’t come all this way just to visit.

- We banished a man called “Kureha” from our group.
- I didn’t know about his release from prison, and furthermore, we hear he’s been displaying the group’s tattoos.

- Because he’s strayed from the path, I wanted to tell you before he caused any trouble.
- That blockheaded bull…

- What's more, there are others whom both we and the public servants are keeping an eye on…
- and we’ve come to suspect there must be somebody hiding them.

29-----
- … the most troubling is,
- that someone somewhere is directing their movements.

- No doubt about it.
- It’s Vritra!

- Oh! You’re pretty good at this.
- Thank you, Sir.
- Kai-kun, a moment!

- Yes.

30-----
- Hee…heeheehee…
- A, Amano-san, what’s wrong?
- I got it… [linked] Vritra doesn’t like gathering Avatars…!

- Eeeh!?

- I’m burning up~~~
- Me and Kai-kun will teach you the importance of choosing Avatars carefully!!

Text beside panel: Next time, Indra explodes…!?

- Mafuyu, Mafuyu-chan?
- Why are you so happy~?
- Heheh— [linked] That’s a secret— [clef]

- Continued in chapter 15

31-----
- Black-hearted, arrogant…etc. are the qualities of Indra we’re all familiar with, but there’s a surprising side to her…?
Text above bubbles: Next time
- The Avatar Lisa Lisa fell in love with at first sight isn’t so great after all?
Spiky bubble: Talking with fists?
Small middle bubble: What’s with this exhibition of happiness and light?
- The maggot who knows nothing but taking advantage of others is…
Top leftmost bubble: Nahahaha you got me, kiddies!
- Amano-san is not as strong as you two think she is.
