Title: әnígmә
e42. Succession
Sakaki Kenji

Page 2:
Somebody: One of us is going to become әnígmә...!?
What are you talking about, Kiri...!?
Kirio: Getting out of here is simple.
But even if you get out of here, if you can't use this thing, it's meaningless.
SFX: SHURURURU...
Kirio: This thing can only grant up to three wishes.
And I've already reached my limit.
Shigeru: 3...?
Sumio: You've already used 3 wishes...!?
Kirio: Yes... The first one was the school festival...
The second was surviving the plane crash...

Page 3:
Kirio: And the third was "The pawns needed for escape----" [Quotation in bold.]
"I want people who have the power to become әnígmә"...! [Quotation in bold.]
And so I set this up, the stage of the e-test.
Moto: ...!!
Sumio: So the strong people you gathered with the e-test were...
so they could become the next әnígmә...?!
Kirio: And if I pass this to one who is chosen, the use restriction I had will reset.
After I've gotten out of here, if I can get this again, I'll be able to control it a second time.
Sumio: Kiri... Are you intending to make us hold that
in order to use us as decoys...?!
SFX: PII GASHAN
Something: ----The prison guard is entering the room.
Would the prisoner please stand...?
Kijima: Yes, Haiba...
Holding that will put you in the center of all of the calamity.

Page 4:
SFX: GASHAN
Sumio: Kijima...!!
You're all right...!!?
H... How did you get out of the school...!?
So it was because you had a "to the school" password after all----
Kijima: Yes... I escaped that way.
Haiba... Sudou... All of you...
I'm sorry...!!
Truly sorry...!!

Page 5:
Sudou: Wha...
What's the big idea...!?
Kirio: As expected of such a gentleman...
Acting in such a manner... That's why you're incompetent.
Kijima: .........
Shut up, Imizuka...!
SFX: KIH
Sumio: Kijima... What on earth...
And those clothes...
Kijima: ...Haiba.
Imizuka...
Imizuka Kirio is
my stepbrother......
Sumio: Eh...?
You're his older brother?!
Kijima: I just... wanted to protect him.
From the "enemy" that seeks the skull. The children that are controlled by destiny...!!

Page 6:
Kijima: ----It started with my kind father's words.
Father: Yuuta... you would make an apt әnígmә.
Come, take this.
Kijima: However-----
I was rejected by the skull and failed to inherit it.
Father: Get out, you incompetent brat!
Kijima: Father's attitude suddenly changed, and kicked me and mother out.
Father was possessed by an existence called әnígmә.
So I hated әnígmә..........
And then, that day where destiny went mad----
Kijima: This is...... әnígmә is making talents......!?
I looked for the owner of the skull without even knowing his face, but
when I'd gotten to the broadcast room, he'd already been sent to the hospital.
I had a very ominous feeling...
And temporarily got Yumikawa-sensei arrested while she was still safe and healthy.

Page 7:
Takemaru: Going around messing in other people's affairs?! So it was you that framed her!
Kijima: Sudou... You've got it wrong!
She heard that announcement at the school festival, too...!
Yes----- She has a talent!
She has the talent of drawing other people with talents toward her...!
If the "enemy" pursuing әnígmә saw that as troublesome, she could get captured!
Takemaru: What...
did you say...!?
Kijima: The moment I saw that plane ticket, I felt real unease.
And in the end, that flight would end up crashing...... If I had not had her arrested on false charges, I felt like she would end up dying in an accident.
I would visit her in prision.
I'm sorry... sensei...!!
Yumikawa: ...What are you apologizing for, Kijima-sensei?
It's all right... I'm innocent.
Kijima: ..........

Page 8:
Kijima: No...
Everything is because that skull has made destiny go mad!
I've got to... end this chain!!
I have to protect those that are mixed up with that evil thing...!!
Takemaru: N... No way...!
Sumio: ..........
Kijima: ----And so, as soon as the news of the plane accident reached my ears
Right Paper: Kijima Yuuta
Left Paper: Part-Time Prison Guard
Kijima: And one strange envelope was delivered to me.
Work to guard prisoners... Why did something like this come to me...?
And like I was being pulled by something, I visited the prison.
SFX: GASHAN...
Kijima: You're...
әnígmә...!?
SFX: WAKUH (Heartbeat)

Page 9:
Kijima: Those eyes looked down on me, just as Father's had.
He carried something so overbearing that it made me unconsciously shrink back------
Kirio: What called you is this thing.
It had you become the prison guard in charge of me in order to prepare for my escape...
Sumio: Prison guard...? Kijima, aren't you a teacher----
Kijima: Only late at night and on days off... But even at other times, no one ever came close to Imizuka, fearing him.
-----Imizuka went on.
Kirio: I've made your talent sprout... The power to "Manipulate what you've copied"...
Use that to manipulate the stage for the e-test.
Choose people whom can take care of this... That is my third wish.
Kijima: You want to use students... to follow what you're doing...!?
Y... You've got to be kidding...!!
Imizuka had been possessed by әnígmә as well.
I... Had to stop it...!!

Page 10:
Kijima: But... Controlled by Imizuka's desires, I was unable to disobey.
Like I had been possessed, too, I created a stage of madness----
From then, my days were spent guarding people who had talents to protect them from the "enemy".
But gradually, it became impossible for me to protect them alone.
And then---- The thought suddenly came into my head
if they're here, would I be able to protect them from the "enemy"?
If I could make them transform them into Shadows quickly, they wouldn't even take on the more dangerous challenges.
If I wasn't able to stop the chain from continuing, then at least I had to protect them...!
Sumio: Y...
You trapped us in there in order to protect us...?
Takemaru: D... Don't try to screw with us!
That's not something you could decide!!

Page 11:
Kijima: Yeah... I knew that.
But... "әnígmә", "the enemy"... Solving all those things...
was impossible for someone incompetent like me.
----But not only did you not become Shadows, you even got through all the danger.
Seeing you do that... made my true feelings, that I had stifled to death, raise up their head.
That was a hope I couldn't have-----
...M
Maybe they... will be able to end it...!
Imizuka's madness... and this horrible chain!!
I don't want them to get out... and yet I do...!
I held both feelings. That was the kind of person I am----
Sumio: ...So that's why you were able to connect to me when I got the 8th password...!
Takemaru: ..........

Page 12:
Kijima: The one that first gave me hope that you could break the chain
was you, Kurumiya.
Shigeru: I...
did...!?
Kijima: Your ability is "prediction"...
Among this darkness... that was the "light" proving the one hope...!
And Haiba...! You strengthened Kurumiya's light and gave it to those around you,
and saved everyone's destinies...!!
Sumio: ......Kijima.
So that's why... Shigeru was...
Kijima... he did all he could
to do something about his and all of our destinies...!!
The way he went about doing it aside...
everything was for Kiri and us...!!

Page 13:
Kirio: Relying on a girl a generation younger than you...
you really are incompetent...
But... I, too,
wanted to meet you, Shigeru...
How about it, Shigeru...?
Would you become әnígmә...?
If you take this,
I'll go to meet you.
We'll be able to "meet again" as many times as we want...!
Shigeru: Ki...
SFX: BAH

Page 14:
Sumio: Stop!
Do you intend to make Shigeru your decoy?!!
You know what that means, right...?
Kirio being targeted, us being called here, it's all because of that thing!!
It's all because
of this skull!!
I've had enough!!
I'll put and end to it...!!
I'll destroy this thing!!

Page 15:
SFX: BASHIH
Moto: Su...
Sumio!!
Shigeru: Stop... If you do that
next time you'll be targeted, Sumio!!
Kirio: As I expected... you'll carry the burden of the next "king", huh...?
Sumi...!!
SFX: SUU...

Page 16:
Kirio: You are...
әnígmә!!

Page 17:
Sumio: I'm...
әnígmә...
Guys: Su...
Sumio!!
Shigeru: Sumio... your hand...
Are you okay...!?
Sumio: Yeah.
SFX: BAH
Sumio: It feels odd... Like inside my body
some "monster" beyond myself has awoken----

Page 18:
Kirio: And now, the succession has------
succeeded...!
SFX: KUH...
Kirio: Starting now, you will take on the burden of all fates.
That is the cost of әnígmә...!
But even considering that, there is value in using it.
It's good to try being intoxicated with the status that is әnígmә.
Wait until I come...
Sumi...!!
Sumio: Kiri... I'll get rid of this thing!!
And cut off the cause of all this!!
Kirio: And now, the e-test is completely over...!
My 3 wishes have been granted...!
SFX: PACHIN (snap)

Page 19:
SFX: ZA ZA ZA ZAH
Kirio: The effects of the wishes have disappeared...
All that's left is you will be forcibly sent back...
You all have escaped destiny...
Savor the "reality you wished for" that you have now obtained...!
Insert: Return...!!
Bottom: әnígmә
