Billy Bat 67

Really all of these are pretty wordy. But I think I'm past all the Kansai-ben stuff...

People: I can't believe this happened.
Truly. How could it be?
Side: The mayor and elder...... In the mountains of Kii, two strange deaths have happened in the village of Koumori. What is the true goal of the secretly maneuvering foreigner!?

Page 2:
People: Just when I thought the funeral for the mayor who was hanged was over, this time it's with the elder.
I can't believe we ended up having one funeral a day like this.

People: Do you think this village has been cursed......?
At any rate, we need to choose someone to put this town in order.
You're right. I suppose the deputy mayor?
Speaking of which, I haven't seen the deputy mayor anywhere.
Well, he was at last night's wake.

Page 3:
People: Do you think he got scared?
You're saying he might have run away because the heads of the village are passing away one after another?
Kids: KYAKYAKYA!!
I got a patch!!
People: Thanks to that foreigner, at least the children's moods have been brightened. He's a real help.
Indeed.
Ah...... Ah~~~ Well, now,
Y...... You've been such a big.........
Kid: Mister foreign man!!

Page 4:
Kid: My mom attached that patch you gave me, mister!!
Devivie: Oooh, wonderful.
Kid: I love "Billy Bat".
Title: Chapter 67 Beyond Point and Line......

Page 5:
Devivie: Is that so? Billy loves everyone, too.
He's always nearby, watching over everyone.
Always...........
Billy: I'm always watching over you!!

Page 6:
Girl: Billy! When did you get here?!
Billy: Crossed through time and space to do it!!
Now, hurry, let's get out of here!!
Girl: KYAAAAA!!
Billy: YAYA!!
Dog: Huhhuhhu. Billy, you came here like a moth to a flame.
Billy: Nunu, it's you, Gary!!
Gary: I'll be taking your time machine!
Girl: Time machine? Billy, is that the one you're always saving me with?
Gary: Farewell, Billy Bat!!
Billy: Waaaait!!

Page 7:
Billy: Oh no!! If the time machine falls into the hands of a villain, it'll be the end of the world!!
Gary: Hehe----!!
billy: Wait, Gary!!
Gary: Wha?
WAAAAH!!
Disney: What's this supposed to be?
SFX: BASAH
[It takes too long to write "Not-Culkin" so I'm just gonna call this guy Disney until he's named.]

Page 8:
Disney: Why did the villain, Gary, disappear?
Chuck: Because I erased him with an eraser.
Disney: Chuck...... Since when have you taken comics lightly like this?
Narration: Hollywood, LA----
Chuck: I don't think I'm making light of them or anything.
Disney: Then tell me, how do you plan to conclude
this preposterous development?

Page 9:
Chuck: If you don't like what I erased with my eraser,
we'll go to world of the past with a villain worse than Gary......
like he has to deal with Gary's ancestor? How about that?
Disney: Gary's ancestor......?
I see. So that's why Gary, the descendant, disappeared?
Time machine are a pretty often used plot device, though.
I don't really get time machines.
Chuck: In any case, generally whoever has the time machine is the most powerful.
Disney: Strongest...... is that right?
Chuck: Did you not know? Even that Professor Einstein man said so.

Page 10:
Disney: I hate that field more than any other. I can't for the life of me guess why that old man's so popular.
Chuck: Let me try to explain. First start with a point.
Disney: Hm......?
Chuck: That's 0-dimensional.
It's really nothing but a point.
And then next is 1-dimensional..........
A line connecting one point and another...... Nothing more than that.
Then are figured like the manga we draw on paper...... 2-dimensional.
Which are completely flat.

Page 11:
Chuck: And the world we live in is 3-dimensional.
See? It's not on a plane, there are solid bodies with length and width.
Then, here's the question.
What would happen if you were surrounded by to 10,000 soldiers drawn on a paper?
Disney: ..........
Chuck: What would happen here? 10,000 soldiers guns are pointed this way.

Page 12:
Disney: You stand over them and trample them?
They're 2-dimensional so the bullets won't fly here.
Chuck: Yes, that's right!!
Even the strongest army corps of a 2-dimensional world would be nothing more than that.
So then, what's the 4th dimension?
Yes. the 3rd dimension with the added concept of time.
Being able to manipulate the 4th dimension means being able to manipulate time.
That's what a time machine is!!
Right now, even you could easily do away with even 10,000 2-dimensional soldiers!!
From our 3rd-dimensional perspective, 2-dimensional is nothing more than that!!

Page 13:
Chuck: So to someone from the 4th dimension looking at us in the 3rd,
we're as powerless as soldiers drawn on paper.
Like I said in the beginning, like just erasing something with an eraser!
I'm free to do as I please with the comic drew on paper with a single eraser!
From the 4th-dimension, we look like something you could erase with an eraser.
Because at any rate, they can manipulate time and history.

Page 14:
Finney: With the scroll, humans can manipulate the bat......
Disney: What do you mean?
Finny: You could control history.
Disney: Control history...... huh?
I see.
So that's the scroll..........?
Chuck: Huh?

Page 15:
Disney: No......
What do you think about making the design for the time machine shaped like a scroll?
Chuck: Scroll......?
That sounds good.
Yes, all right then.
Someone: Uh......
Uh......

Page 16:
Deputy: Uh......
Uhu......
Devivie: Please don't make such a sad face.
Deputy Mayor-san.
Deputy: Uh......
Uh.......
Devivie: Do you really think what I'm saying is that unreasonable?
I just want to build Billy Land in that town.......
I only came here because I desperately wish to revive the lands of Japan burnt by war.
But now, this age is not only about that......

Page 17:
Devivie: Let's enjoy it starting now.
Let's dream!!
How do we make children's dreams come true?
Deputy: Hi......
Hi......
Hi......
HII......

Page 18:
Deputy: He...... He...... Hel.....p......
Devi...... Devi.... vivi......
Devivie: It's Devivie.
You're the one I wish would help, Deputy Mayor-san.
Taking to the mayor and the elder brought absolutely no progress.
Even though I presented so many conditions in return, they wouldn't even sit down at the negotiating table......
What must I do?
SFX: GURA
Deputy: WA!!

Page 19:
Devivie: Ooh, watch out there!!
Deputy: ......!!
SFX: GAH
Deputy: HA~~~~~ HIHA~~~~!!
Devivie: Who do I need to negotiate with?
Neither the mayor, nor the elder, nor even you, deputy-san, have any intentions of selling the village.
......It's almost as if I'm being told that no one will sell it.
Who were you told to say that by?
Who do I need to negotiate with?
SFX: GUI...

SFX: GURAMA...
Deputy: AGUUUUU!!
Devivie: Woopsie.
Deputy: AHIIIII!!
On...... On the outskirts of the town.....
Th...... The hermitage..........
Devivie: Hermitage......?
Deputy: Where the stone Buddhist images are..........
......The hermitage's......
Devivie: Yes, yes, near those stone Buddhas......

Page 21:
Deputy: The one living in that hermitage............
the sensei......
TL Note: "Sensei" is a Japanese honorific used for someone who is a master in their field.
Devivie: Deputy-san..........
You are a wonderful person.
You've given dreams to children.

Guy: Hey, sensei~~~
Please write the continuation to this manga soon!
I totally love that story about the ninja.
I'm totally excited to see what happens to the ninja Kanbe next.
Hey, sensei~~~
I guess your eyes are pretty tired, huh?
Or is it your right hand is tired?

Page 24:
Guy: Hey, sensei......
Zoufuu: Shut yer trap!!
Nothin's wrong with me anywhere!!
But even so..........
I can't draw!!
Side: Wearing a baret and round glasses...... This person being called "sensei", he's that man, isn't he......?!
