Persona 4 9

It's so long that I kinda lost contact with Scarlet... ._."

Sorry for taking so long with this, Scarlet. I'm planning on getting some of P4 out to try to catch up (even though I might need to scan chapter 10 myself), but am no longer sure if you're still on it or not. Will still reserve it though, until any further word from you. Sorry once again for taking so long with it. :(

And so long that I'm forgetting stuff...have to go back to play P4 again, I guess... ._."



Persona 4
#09 "Satonaka Chie part 2"
Pg. 1
Chie - Hah!
Hiyah!
Acho!
** Comic vol.1 is now on sale!! **

What's the matter?

Pg. 2
Yukiko - ...They told me to "abandon it",

said "We can't keep it because our house is an inn."
But I pitied him,
so I ran away from home.

I'm the same as this puppy...

Pg. 3
Chie - ...Then

Why not come to my house?
My family won't mind that,
so let's go home together?

I'm Chie.
And your name?

Pg. 4
Yukiko - ...Chousokabe.
Chie - I mean your name, not the dog's.

Yukiko - ...Yukiko,
Amagi Yukiko.

Chie - Yukiko? That's a nice name.

Pg. 5
Yukiko - But that Chou-something is kinda weird.
I'll call you Muku instead.
Yukiko - Eh!?

Chie - Nice to meet you, Muku~
Yukiko - ...But I like that name.

Chie - That time, Yukiko looked really sad,
so I thought I have to protect her...

Pg. 6
Shadow - AAAAAAH

Pg. 7
You maggots~~~!!

Souji - Hanamura!

Yousuke - 'Right!

Pg. 8

Pg. 9
Kuma - Yousuke! What's wrong, kuma!? Your move is lagging, kuma!!
Normally, you would be a lot keener and harder!!
Yousuke - No...don't know if I should call that move hard, mad or piercing.
Maybe the though that I’m up against Satonaka makes me hard to fight her, or maybe I just don’t have the vibe to, or what.

Kuma - You're a maso-kuma?
Yousuke - I am not!!
Though I hate to admit that I don't know myself.

Chie - ...Hey,

did I...make a mistake somewhere?

Pg. 10
Were all the things I did only for my own self-satisfaction?

Yousuke - ...Satonaka.

Shadow - Isn't that just plain obvious...?
I'm you and you're me...no need for you to ignore me like you always did.

Chie - ...I'm not strong. I'm not as strong as Yukiko thinks I am.
I seemed strong...

Pg. 11
I seemed strong only because Yukiko was with me!!
Yousuke - Satonaka!?

Shadow - I'll be the remaining one~~!!

Kuma - Protect Chie-chan, kuma!!

Pg. 12
Chie - I'm not as beautiful as Yukiko,
nor am I as feminine as her.

I don't even know what I'll do in the future.
I might be a terrible, envious, hopeless person.

Even so,

Pg. 13
I'm really

happy to be with Yukiko...!

Pg. 14
I want to protect her. I want to quickly save Yukiko...!

Shadow - ...Foolish girl.

Pg. 15
Chie - I know.

Pg. 16
...But

Pg. 17
even so,
the fact that I like Yukiko is never a lie.

Yousuke - Idiot,
we know that already.
Souji - Everyone has that other side in them.

Chie - ...Yeah,
thanks.

Shadow - Fufufu...
Ahahahaha!

Pg. 18
Oh? Some surprised guests?
How will you come at me then?
Alright, continuing with my search for Prince Charming!
Where could you be? This place is so wide. It's so hard to find you even with my hope so high.
Ah, could you be playing hide-and-seek in this mist with me? Alright, I'll find you then~

Chie - ...No,

you're not Yukiko. Where's the real one!?
Shadow - What's that?

I am Yukiko...
Yukiko is me.

Souji - Is that...
Kuma - Yes, kuma. It's "another Yuki-chan", kuma.

Pg. 19
Shadow - Alright, back to my search!
Just wait right there, my prince!

Chie - Wait!

…と
…たっ
…I
…wa

Souji - Guess we have to head back for now. Let's retreat.
Yosuke - That's right. Satonaka will need some break as well.
…か
Chie - …
== Sorry, seriously can’t tell what she’s saying…from a single kana…

Pg. 20
Don't decide things by yourself! I can still go on...also...
If that really is Yukiko's thoughts, I...I need to go stay by her side...

Yosuke - You'll just slow us down that way.
That "power" depletes your physical and mental strength.
It'll be more assuring for us if you can help us fight with the power as ours.

You want to save Amagi, don't you?
Chie - But Yukiko's still inside!

Kuma - No need to worry, kuma. Yuki-chan is a normal person.
The shadows here won't attack normal people.
They'll only attack when the mist clears up.

Chie - ...What do you mean?
Yosuke - The foggy days in this world and in our world are reversed, it seems.
The shadow will become violent only on the day the fog here clear up…or the foggy day in our world.
It's the same as with Announcer Amano and senpai...Both of their corpses were found in the foggy days.

It's raining a lot recently, so it won’t get foggy so soon, which means Amagi is safe for the time being.
Chie - So Yukiko might get killed...by her other self like with me just now?

Pg. 21
But if Yukiko...already met with her other self?
Kuma - That Yuki-chan doesn't make rustle for nothing, kuma.
She's searching for something in this scarlet castle and wants the real Yuki-chan to see it...Kuma can clearly sense that, kuma.
You still have time until she finds it, kuma.
that thing she's searching...

Chie - ...Yukiko.
I get it now.
...Yeah,

I'm sorry for running out by myself.
Souji - Never mind that.
Yosuke - We'll rescue Amagi for sure...alright?
Kuma - Kuma~

Chie - Yep!

Pg. 22
Alright!!
I'm back to live now.

Morooka - Those four're absent again?

Chie - 'Morning. Where's Hanamura?
Is he late?

Pg. 23
Morooka - Damn, youngsters these days...Listen up.
Just because spring is the season of love doesn't mean you boys and girls can go loafing around together, kay?

Kuma - Alright! Kuma was up last night preparing this for Chie-chan.
Chie - Really? But what's that?

Mooroka - Hanamura and Satonaka are expectable, but Amagi and the new student too?
Students - I thought Seta-kun was a really serious person.
You can't judge the book by its cover, after all.
That type of guy always has something outrageous going on in his head.

Chie - Wow, what's this!? Everything’s so clear.
These glasses you were wearing are this convenient, huh?
Wait. Did you have this on yesterday as well?
Yosuke - Yeah, we did.
Chie - I was so desperate, I didn't even realize.

Pg. 24
Student - Satonaka and Amagi always skipped class together as well.

??? - Alright, the second round's up!
Let's go!!

Student - Those two're just too close to one another, don't you think?

So close it's so hard to get near both of them.

Yukiko - ...Hm.

Pg. 25
...Where am I?

Shadow - So you're finally awake.

You were just like a sleeping beauty.

Pg. 26
Yukiko - What...is this...?

A dream?

Yukiko - ...There they came.

Chie - YUKIKO!!

Yukiko - Chie!?

Pg. 27
Shadow - Welcome, all my surprise guests,
or should I say, my princes...

I've been...
waiting for you!!
** Finally, time to battle with Yukiko's shadow!! **
