Kagijin 5

Kagijin
Chapter 5 "The 'Iron-armed' General'"
Pg. 1
** The 5th chapter of the new series! "Kagijin" **

** Jilda's new weapon...!? **

Jilda - Hm!
So this sword is called a cutlass, huh...its weight is really good as well.

Pg. 2
I'm buying this then. 250 delicas, right?
Trema - Thanks!
That should be enough to cover for your stay as well! So, just come stay here tonight, alright!

Jilda - Sorry to bother you, Trema.
Trema - It's totally fine, Jilda!

Tsubame - ...Heh,
she's fond of you already, hah...

Trema - Hehe

-- Outskirt of Reto, the slums --

Pg. 3
Tsubame - Wow...
this thing really tastes good...
even though it looks horrible.

Trema - Sis is no longer here, so I had to make it myself.
I'm pretty good at cooking too!

Tsubame - Hmph...but the room is totally shabby though...
Trema - Don't complain for luxury!! You should be thankful enough already that I let you stay!

Tsubame - ...About your sister,
why isn't she here anymore then?

Trema - Those people who called themselves public security took her away!!
Even though my sister didn't do anything...
She was accused for the crime she never commited.

Pg. 4
After the coronation of the new Emperor, the slavery system was reestablished.
We, the lower class people, were forcefully made slaves of the empire.

Tsubame - ...Slaves...huh...?

Trema - There're even rumors that slaves were then modified into Kagijins!
I've heard that those are mysterious artificial humans
who were made to fight.

That must be what happened to sis as well,

and maybe even the reason why they're after you two.
The Empire right now is just a big pile of mess.

...If only there are no Kagijin...they'll never take my sister away and we could've live together.
Just because of those Kagijin...!!

Tsubame - Trema...

Pg. 5
Thanks for the meal.

Trema - What is this, Tsubame? You barely ate at all!!? I made this special dish for you, alright!
Tsubame - Its appearance is totally horrible. Plus, I'm not hungry to start with as well.
Trema - What...?
Tsubame - So, you can have it.

Trema - Che
What the hell? Dammit.
Like I'll eat...eat your leftovers!
*rumble...*
...Don't make fun of me, dammit!!

Tsubame - She's really harsh with her word there, isn't she?
When talking about the empire.
Jilda - Yeah...

Tsubame - Well, guess it's natural though.
You can't tell her that you're from the empire now, can't you, Jilda...?
But guess it's better not to tell her anyway.

Jilda - ...I know...

Tsubame - Oh well.
Same goes for me as well.

Pg. 6
If only there're no Kagijin...
huh?

Jilda - What is it?
What's that noise?

Pg. 7
People - Welcome back, General!!
Crockett-sama, BANZAI!!

Tsubame - What's that? Some kind of parade?
Jilda - ...!! That guy's

Crockett the "Iron Arm"!

Pg. 8
Imperial army, leader of the third platoon,
General Crockett!!

People - Crockett-sama has brought us the victory in battle again!!
Peace shall prevail in this town once again!!
He defeated the bandits living in the fortress ruin of Doris Plain for us as well!!

Tsubame - General Crockett...
quite a great person, isn't he?

Pg. 9
Jilda - But he's also the landlord of this town...with that, he's also our enemy.
We can't afford letting him see us.

Tsubame - An enemy...huh...

Well, might be better for us to run before the thing about somebody around here causing an uproar this morning.
Jilda - Don't say like that...

Trema - DAMN YOU!!!
Tsubame - WHOA!?

Trema - ...Just now,
You were badmouthing Cockett-sama, right!!

Tsubame - Huh!? Why did you hit me, Trema!!?
Jilda - No...we aren't really badmouthing him...

Pg. 10
Trema - Look...!! Everytime he won the battle, Crockett-sama always come to visit us, even down in this slum!
He listens even to us, the peasants!

When my sister was taken away by those public security guys, he heard me out as if I was part of his family,
and even promised to search for my sister for me!!

He said he's opposed the Kagijins as well!!
So don't associate him with the people from that shitty empire!!

Jilda - General Crockett did all that?

Pg. 11
Tsubame - Then wouldn't that...

make him our ally?

Trema - Kya

Pg. 12
KYAAAA
Pirates - Hyahahaha!!

Jilda - Trema!!!

Tsubame - Dammit, he got her!
That guy...the octopus guy from this morning!!

Pg. 13
People - Trema got kidnapped!!

Crockett - Who are those people...?
Soldiers - The pirates, Crockett-sama.
That mark...it's the Davy Cross!!

Trema - JILDA!! HELP!!!

People - PIRATES!!

Pg. 14
Crockett - Everyone, calm down!!
They've abducted one little girl!
Arbittary unit, come forth!!

Tsubame - Shit, they got ornithopters!!
And they've gotten too far now...
Guns won't reach them!!

Tsubame - Jilda, let's head to the roof!
Jilda - Wha...Hey!!

Trema - PUT ME DOWN~~!!

Pirate - Hoho!
Nice one, Aniki~~!!

Pg. 15
Our Aniki will never forgive people who dirtied his face in mud
Awesome, Aniki!
No one can compete with you in term of taking even the tiniest things into account!!
You guys, was that meant to be a phrasing?

Jilda - Wait, Tsubame!! This time, you really better to just leave it!
The army is down there...with General Crockett as well!!

Pirates - Let's sell this out as a slave!!
Trema - What...?
Pirates - Even if she's a beast, I know someone who'll pay us really well!!

Jilda - If you use the Key right now...
Tsubame - Just shut up.

Her sister is the same as me.

Pirate - GAHAHAHA!! As the pay for the cleaning, I'm taking this awesome bait then~~

Tsubame - I used to be a slave.

Pg. 16
I will never let her become like me!

Pg. 17
Right now,
no one can possibly save her

Pirate - Whoa!?

Pg. 18
Soldier - Eh?

Tsubame - except
us.

ZETTOU
KUUSEN

People - WOOOW, YIPPEEE!!
THAT'S MARVELOUS, CROCKETTE-SAMA!!

Crockett - No,
I'm not the one who did that!!

Pg. 19
Major...
Jilda Portman!? And...

There's no mistaking.
The only one who can do something like that

Trema - Unya...

Jilda - General Crockett...

** They're found...!! **
Crockett - are the Kagijin!!!

Thank you for reading...
