Title: #043 Secchan

Page 2:
Box: -----The Next Day-----
Yasuho: Did I have a wound there?!
Is this really necessary?
I think that's more than enough treatment... I mean, I already went to a doctor...
Insert: Have they escaped the pursuit...?!
Tsurugi: It's getting red. Some germs might've gotten in...
Here, too.
And here.
Let's put some saliva on it.
Yasuho: KYAAAAAAHH!! [Heart]
SFX: LELO LELO LELO
Yasuho: But man, I can't believe a person like this really exists...
'Dainenjiyama Aishou'
It's just so unbelievable.

Page 3:
Yasuho: He's another angle
from the bus's on-board camera.

Page 4:
Yasu: All that was left on the road was broken 'stone' and 'sand'...
Just going on analysis of the impact and eyewitnesses
are either the driver and the police aren't able to figure out what this is all the remains of.
Even 'Aishou's' clothing and items he had on him all deteriorated into sand.
Just to be safe, I erased the video we shot together.
Tsurugi: He's dead.
We did something really serious.

Page 5:
Yasuho: It's okay...
It's gonna be fine.
Everything has to go in a good direction......
Tsurugi: I'm sure there are other creatures like this out there.
Humans whose skin turn hard like rock.
Did they get that way through a different line of evolution......?
Or was it maybe caused by an 'illness'?
Both Aishou and Yagiyama Yotsuyu were rock humans...
And according to their conversation............ My dad has some sort of contract with them.
The motive for it all is those 'fruits'.
Everyone is... circling around those mysterious 'fruits'.

Page 6:
Yasuho: This is inside Morioh Stadium---- This video is from when Aishou was still on duty.
The time is 16:04 yesterday.
Aishou is on regular duty as a security guard.
Here's another camera---- He's in a staff-only gate......
Look at the time.
That's when Aishou changed clothes and left.

Page 7:
Yasu: And here's another camera.
It's a video of the outside of the stadium's exit----- It's 16:43.
Tsurugi: Ah
Yasuho: ...........

Page 8:
Tsurugi: He... He has it!
He's carrying the potted fruit plant!
Yasuho: At 16:44 Aishou leaves the stadium carrying the flowerpot.
And
he walks through the park to make the trade with the rich old man in the wheelchair.
When Morioh Stadium staff leave work for the day, they have to pass through this staff entrance.
Map: Staff Entrance [Center right]
Gate E [Bottom]
General Entrance Area [Upper left]
Yasu: At 16:38 inside the gate, he didn't have it.
And the outside camera is at 16:44! So the 'area' he was in in that 5-ish minutes is where he got it!

Page 9:
Tsuru: So we've got a specific location.
There have to be other 'fruit trees' growing there.
He's doing this outside the law, so he must be just storing them there.
Yasu: But if they are there, then they're in this '5 minute' area.
Tusugi: So of course we're 'going', but......
'Morioh Stadium'.
Is that place...... special......?

Oh, I missed you.....

Yasu: It's me!!
It's me, Jousuke!
Jou: Who?

AH!!
Yasuho-chan......
Yasu: WAAAAAAAAAHN!
I... finally... finally got to see you again...
Uu...
Uu...
I really missed you. I'm so glad...
UUU
Jou: Yasuho-chan...
Why're you crying so much?
We can do that any time.
You don't need to cry like that.

Page 15:
Yasu: Uu
UUUU
But...............
All these things that made it seem like we'd never see each other again happened......
Huh?! Jousuke, you're crying, too!
Jou: No way.
Me?
Yasuho: I see tears.
Jou: Yeah, right.
I'm not crying.
Yasu: Yeah, you are.
Look!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yup, Jousuke's crying, too, all right!

Page 16:
Yasuho: You totally are!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
AHAHAHAHAHA!
Jou: Yeah, I cried, I cried.
Tsuru: ...
Hmph!
I'm the one that called Jousuke here, ya know......
I wish I'd stuck more bandages on her.
But... Well... It's okay... You two go ahead and have a nice long talk...
I can't go to the "stadium" alone............ I need Jousuke......

Page 17:
Yasu: Hey,
Jousuke.
Sing something.
Jou: .................
Sing?
Yasu: We can do it while we're walking.
Sing something...
Like something nostalgic...
Well, if you know any songs anyhow...
Remember any?
Jou: I like large fries, I like large fries, I like large fries,
But not fried chicken

Page 18:
Jou: Not fried chicken, not fried chicken, I just want those crunchies.
I like large fries
Yasu: It's wonderful.
Who's song is that?
......Is it famous?
Jou: I dunno......
I might've just made it up......
Yasuho: Please...
Would you sing it one more time... It was wonderful. One more.

Page 19:
Jou: .............

Jou: ?

SFX: FLAP FLAP
Girl: LLLL
AAAA
TERRRR,
kay?
Secchan......
T/N: Secchan is a pet name for someone with the syllable 'se' in their name.
Jou: !?

Page 22:
Yasu: Hm?
What is it?
Jou: Huh?!!
SFX: FURA FURA

Page 23:
Jou: !?
SFX: FURA FURA
Yasu: Jousuke?
What's wrong?
Jou: Uh......
I have no idea really,
but there's something that caught my attention.
Yasuho-chan, let's meet up again later.
Yasu: Huh?!
Later? .......What caught your attention?
Jou: I dunno. It'll just take 10 or 20 minutes....
Anyhow, I'll see you later.
Yasuho: Later......? Jousuke......?!
!?

Page 24:
Yasu: Where are you going?
Jou: I told you, I have no idea.
Don't follow me.........
Girl: Secchan.
Over here!
Hey! This way!

Page 25:
Girl: That woman...
She's not following you, is she......?
Jou: What's going on here......?
I don't believe it......
.....................I found someone..............

Page 26:
Jousuke: "that knows me".........!!
Girl: I was worried.
I'm glad I finally found you.
What happened to your cell?
I've been looking everywhere for you... All over the place.
Jousuke: "Okay, but who are you?"
"Just asking that would be easy...
but how much does she know about me?"
"It would be dangerous to give her too much information."
"If she found out I 'have mo memories', then..........

Page 27:
Jou: what would she do?"
"I couldn't even guess."
"She might be mistaking me for somebody else..."
"Something about her seems hesitant"..........
"She might run away."
"But anyhow, 'what did she come here for'?"
"What an odd woman...
It's important I get everything out of her..."
I... don't have a cell phone...
Some stuff happened.
Girl: Hm?
Some stuff......?

Page 28:
Girl: Oh, I get it......
Yeah, a lotta stuff happened to me in the earthquake, too......
I finally made it back from Sapporo.
But I'm really happy I found you.
Jou: Sapporo......
Girl: Secchan, what're you doing noooow?
Jou: "Secchan"......
..................She's been calling me that the whole time.
Is that my name...
?
...Hey, uh, how'd you find me anyhow?
Girl: Coincidence!
Just a coinkydiiink.
You saw that 'Fruit Parlor' when you were handing around in front of the train station, right, Secchan?

Page 29:
Girl: When I first glanced at you
...I didn't know it was you................
Secchan,
something about you'd really changed.
What's goin' on?
That hat...
It's almost like the one that guy has......
I just hate that guy......
The boat doctor guy.
It's like his.
You look almost like "Kira Yoshikage".
Jou: What?!!
Girl: Huh?!
But... Th... There really is something different!

Page 30:
Girl: It's not just your clothes...
Your eyes are different... And compared to before, the atmosphere I get from you is......
A... Aw man... I... I messed up......
Shit.
I got too hasty...............
You're not "Secchan" at all!! Dammit!
Jou: This woman...
...She's 'the real deal'.
I can hardly believe it... She knows about Kira Yoshikage... But she doesn't know he's dead.
It's the first time... something like this's
shown up! I can finally... figure out the answer to 'who I am'...

Page 31:
Jou: W... Wait! Hold on!!

Page 32:
SFX: GUGUGUGUGUGU
Card: Sakunami Karera

Page 33:
Jou: "A name".
Wait!!
Karera!
Don't go! You didn't make a mistake!! It's me!
Karera: ............

Page 34:
Jou: "Sakunami Karera".
Is that written 咲波?
作並?
"Karera". [Italics]
I know her name...
I can look her name up and shed some light on all this...
On her background......
and my past...

Page 35:
Karera: It is you, Secchaaaaaan!
It's Secchan!! You called me Karera!
I'm so glad!
Secchan!
SFX: KISS KISS KISS KISS
Kare: Hey, Secchan, where're you living now?
At that woman's place?
Jou: That woman?
Kare: The one you were walking around holding hands with.
How long's it been going on?
I'm not too pleased...... But it's not a big deal...
Where're you living?
Jou: She's got nothing to do with me. It's not like that.
I won't get into it now, but I'm crashing at somebody's house.
Anyhow, what do you want with me? Why were you looking for me?

Page 36:
Kare: Hmmm!
Well... Oka.
You call that woman Yasuho-chan?
But you called me 'Karera', right?
That's special, then. You're the only one that calls me 'Karera' without any honorific. ["only" in italics.]
Say, by the way...
do you have cash on you?
Would ya mi~~~nd lending me some?
It took all I had to make it to Morioh.
Do you have anywhere I can sleep tonight?
Truth is, I slept at the train station yesterday.
Just a little's fine.
Please......
Jou: Money?
Say...
We never went out together, you and me, right?
Karera: ......

Page 37:
Jou: I never went out with you like that.
A woman like this... I can tell pretty clearly
that I would never love her...
Karera: ............
Jou: ....................
Can you get a place to stay with this? I only have 5,000 yen on me...

Page 38:
Karera: We made out a while back, right?
Remember, with me.....
Er... no, did we?
Jou: ...........
SFX: KURUH

Page 39:
Kare: Hey!

There's a hair in this!
Look!
Do you expect people to eat thiiiis?!
Guy: M'am,

You snotty girl,
you're not too bright are you......?
I'm grilling here.
Look at me and say that.
No way in hell there's any hair in there. And you already ate most of it, didn't ya?! Moron!
Kare: Wanna see?
Okay, take a close look.
If you wanna see,
then go right ahead. Gimme your hand. That one, right there.

Page 40:
Kare: Gimme your hand!
Try pinching the tsukune right there.
There, pinch.
T/N: Tsukune is a kind of chicken meatball served yakitori style (grilled on a skewer).

Kare: Okay, so you're gonna gimme my money back plus extra, riiiight?!!

Page 44:
Kare: But it's a coincident!
Just a coincidence.
One tsukune's just a freak accident.
I won't tell anybody in the neighborhood about this, kay?
Don't worry about it.......... From here on, it's all okay... See ya.
SFX: FURA FURA FURA FURA
Jou: This woman...
"What is she"?
She's a "Stand User", too.

Page 45:
Karera: Secchan!
Please... Just lend me another 1,000 yen!
One more time! I know I can win if I just have another thousand!
I'm almost there! I swear if I get a thousand more yen I'll make this thing cough up!
Jou: You're kidding me...
"Who am I..."?
Insert: Is it okay... to be involved with her?
Bottom: To be continued
