Person: Are you okay, Hiroto!?

Other person: It practically cut to the bone...

Ohba: Heh, it's nothing. You don't have to make such a big fucking deal out of it!

Matsumura: Sorry, I'm the reason this...

Ohba: Where the hell are those three assholes, anyway? // They made me fucking owe them something... // Who the hell was that... // jackass with the beer bottle!? // Giving me that preachy-ass bullshit when you weren't even hurt... // But that wasn't just a bluff. He could have backed that shit up.

Matsumura: No...it can't be....

Ohba: Huh?

3
Matsumura: It can't have been Teiken's Maeda...

Ohba: ! // Haha...there's no way Teiken's Maeda wouldn't have gone through with it... // You're talking out your ass, Matsumura.

Matsumura: Yeah, you're right!

Ohba: Shimabukuro-san from Yonekura High told me... // that Maeda's like... // a demon. // A cruel, brutal, inhuman monster. // With the brains of a brontosaurus. // And I heard green blood flows through his body too. // There's no way that someone like that would take care of someone else.

Other person: Yeah...yeah...that's true.

4
Matsumura: Huh... // Huh...

Ohba: It's you! // You...you were with him when... // The hell are you doing here?

Katsuji: What did you say!? // I came to check up on Yoneji, you know, the guy you fucked up, because he's in this hospital! // Oh yeah, I heard you got stabbed in the arm. // Take that, bastard.

Ohba: ....!

5
Ohba: Shut up, it's proof that I'm a leader. // How did you get that scar?

Katsuji: !

Ohba: Did you fall off the jungle gym? // Heheh...

Katsuji: I'll fucking kill you.

Matsumura: Don't get so angry, we'll deal with you next time.

Katsuji: ........

SFX: *pew* // *pew*

Ohba: Come on, a little more...

Someone else: You suck!

Ohba: Shut up, I've only got one hand! // Huh...

Katsuji: I've been looking for you, bitch!

Ohba: The hell you following me for? // What do you want?

Katsuji: Yoneji's freaking dead, you dumbass!

Ohba: Wha...

Katsuji: Last night he went into a coma... // And he never even woke up once! //

7
Katsuji: Well?! Aren't you gonna say something!? You killed him, fucker!


Ohba: .... // ....

Other: H...Hiroto...

Ohba: ....

Other: What's with the climbing?

Staff: Sir! Please don't do that, sir!

Ohba: (He's...dead...)

8
Ohba: He's...right here. // !! // It's him... // Is this for real...!?

9
Person: Hiroto!

Katsuji: Heheh...that'll teach him...

Yoneji: Ugh...uhhhh... // Ow, my eyes! // Close the curtains, Maeda-san!

Maeda: Y...yeah, my bad.

Yoneji: What are you crying about...

Maeda: Well, uh... // Jo...Joannna's alive....

TV: Oh...Joanna....

10
Ohba: I...I just don't know what to do!

Shimabukuro: Crying's not gonna do anything about it, Hiroto. // So you ended up killing him. // Even if they don't forgive you, you have to apologize to his family. // That's just a man's way. // Got it?

Ohba: Wait a bit, Shimabukuro-san. // I...kind of have to...go to the bathroom...

Shimabukuro: Be quick!

11
SFX: *tinkle* *tinkle*

Ohba: *cry* // *sob* // *cry*

Yoneji: I only got a suitcase... ♫ // Whoops, my bad.

Ohba: No...it's ok...

Yoneji: Sitting in my room... ♫

Ohba: .... // *squeeze* // !!!

Yoneji: So you can come... ♫ // and live with me ♫

12
Ohba: .....

Shimabukuro: WHAT!? // HE'S ALIVE!?

Ohba: ...And pretty healthy too! // ..... // Uh? // Look...up there!

Shimabukuro: Huh... // Oh... // It's those douchebags...

13
Maeda: Wha...?

Matsumura: I told you, Hiroto killed himself! // He's way more delicate then he looks! // When you told him that guy died...

Maeda: Wha... // Ka...Katsuji, you...told him...

Katsuji: Uh...um...

14
Maeda: I'll take responsibility. // What should I do!?

Matsumura: (Heheh...)

Shimabukuro: So he really did say that...

Matsumura: Yeah! Yeah! He did!

Shimabukuro: And you told him to go there...?

Matsumura: Yeah!

Shimabukuro: Hm, he shows up, Hiroto appears... // Then he'll probably flip a shit. Don't worry, that's the part where I sneakily ambush him. // Heheh, that should be enough reason for him to put up a fight.

15
Ohba: Uh...do you have something personal against that guy, Shimabukuro-san? // Do you know him?

Shimabukuro: Yeah. // That's Teiken's Maeda.

Everyone else: T...Teiken's... // Maeda...!?

Ohba: He's... // ...

Everyone else: We told you to quit the climbing!

Ohba: (I never should have... // started that lie)

16
Person: 7 PM at the north exit of Kichijoji Station... // Do you think it's alright? There are a lot of people around now...

Ohba: Shimabukuro-san's already here!

Matsu
mura: Yeah, he should be hiding here somewhere...

Ohba: If he doesn't show up...Maeda's really gonna end up killing us all... // No matter what we do, we're still fighting the devil!

Shimabukuro: Heheh...it's about time. // Today's the day I'm gonna kick your ass, Maeda.

Person: He...He's here! // Hiroto, you gotta hide first!

Hiroto: Oh...yeah!

17
Matsumura: Well...you're all here. // You brought funeral gifts and everything...

Maeda: I'm sorry... // Please tell me...what should I do...

Matsumura: There's someone who wants to talk to you... // Hey!

Ohba: Uh...hi there...

Maeda: !!!

18
Ohba: Since I'm not really dead...

Person: Hold it, guys! Shimabukuro's not here!

Matsumura: What? I already got...

Katsuji: The hell? // You're not even dead! Are you fucking kidding me!?

Maeda: Wait, Katsuji...

Katsuji: Maeda-san!?

19
Ohba: ... // He's gonna kill me! // He's gonna fucking kill me!

Maeda: Goddamnit... // You're alive!

Ohba: !?

Shimabukuro: They're late!

(T/N: The next chapter starts a much longer arc, which I'm really looking forward to. Also if you're confused because Sakamoto's name has changed, it's because the previous scanlators were using the French version which for some reason changed his name. I checked my Japanese raws front to back and he's Shimabukuro all the way, so that's what I'll call him. One last thing for anyone who cares: the song that Yoneji sings when he's in the restroom is a real song. It's called "Rhapsody" by RC Succession, a famous Japanese rock band.)
