Title: Chapter.68
Black Mist

Page 74:
Narration: ---After they got back from the field trip
the tone of the class
went in
a bit of a stranger direction.
Teacher: Huh? There's no chalk in here.
I was sure it was full of chalk this morning......
Hey, who was that?!
SFX: HYUNN
Teacher: Who threw that eraser......?
Speak up!

Page 75:
Teacher: No...
Where is it...?
It's gone...
It's not here...
Hinata: Excuse me.
I came to get ready for class!
What's wrong?
Teacher: Oh? You're the class helper today?
The chronological table is missing...
Hinata: Chronological table...?
That's that scroll, right? The green one...?
Teacher: Yes...
Well now...
What do I do? Not having that will be a problem...
Just what is going on recently...
this sort of thing keeps happening.
Hinata: ---I might be imagining it,
but I think Sensei has lost a lot of weight...
Teacher: Oh well. Seems there's nothing I can do...
And the bell is about to ring....

Page 76:
Rei: ----Yes,
now, the class's black air
Hina: Scroll. Scroll...
Where could something that long have gotten to...
You'd think it would stand out
if it fell somewhere...
That's it!!
SFX: PIIN!
Rei: had even
started to haunt the teacher...
Hina: Sensei, I think I know where it might be!
SFX: PYUU
Teacher: Huuh?!
Kawamoto-san!
Hina: I'll be right back!!
SFX: KIIN KOOHN KAAN
Hina: Sensei...
SFX: HAA HAAH
Teach: Oh,
that's great.
Where was it?
Hina: Ah, it was mixed up with the historical chronological tables in the social studies room.

Page 77:
Teacher: You found it for me.
Thank you, Kawamoto-san.
That was some good thinking...
Hina: Well,
I just figured it might be there since they're the same shape...
Girl: Trying to earn points.
SFX: WHISPER...
Girl: Sure, that's what she says,
but Kawamoto-san
is probably the one that hid it.
Hina: ----That voice...
it's Takagi-san.
SFX: Teehee
Hehe
Hehe
SHH...

Page 78:
Hina: Hey would you mind whispering like that,
purposefully trying to get people to overhear you insulting them,
Takagi-san?
Takagi: Huh?
What's with you?
I didn't say anythin'.
Teach: Ah!
Kawamoto-san, no!
SFX: DAHH...
Takagi: KYAAAAHH!
SFX: DANNN

Page 79:
Hina: Did you think I was gonna hit you or something?
Takagi: ...................
Hina: What reason would I have to do that?
If I did, I'd be doing just what you wanted.
Now fess up.
What do you mean I hid it?
Teacher: Um, Kawamoto-san...
Hina: Why would you say something like that?
Teacher: Kawamoto-san, please stop!

Page 80:
Hina: Sensei....
You heard her just now, didn't you?
Sensei... why
am I the one you're stopping?!
Do you think I hid it?!
Teacher: Please, stop this!
Please don't yell!
What do I do...
I mean, I can imagine that much...
Takagi-san and her friends hid it and they're trying to place the blame you, right, Kawamoto-san?!
But
so what?!
----It's not like you have any proof.
How could anyone be expected to prove that?!

Page 81:
Teacher: That's enough... I can't take it anymore.
Please, don't get me wrapped up in this...
Year after year...
No matter how many times my students change, every time
you never get tired of ending friendships and bullying and whatnot...
I'm fed up with it...
---Why do you kids have time to bother other people like that?
Are you thick or something?!
Hey, Takagi-san,
how is it you have time for that?!
Please, focus on studying and don't bother people!
Takagi: ......
Teacher: I mean, what are you doing?
----Getting everybody else mixed up in this...
think about how you're disrupting the class.
You all have exams this year, don't you?!
Don't you understand?!

Page 82:
Hina: Sensei kept talking like her floodgates had opened.
Then the tone of her voice got strange.
And after she had stopped talking for a bit
her face went dark
---and she collapsed.
And
she never
came back to the school again.
----There was an announcement
that she was hospitalized due to anxiety.
Someone: Huh? What?
So sensei is holed up there?
Hey, c'mon! What about our lessons?
We have exams to take!

Page 83:
Someone: This is so annoying...
----Hey,
whose fault is this?
SFX: ZAKU... ZAKU... (Murmuring)
SFX: ZAKU... ZAKU... (Murmuring)
Guy: ---And so
starting today, I'll be running this class until a new homeroom teach is decided upon.
I'm Kokubu, head of the year.
SFX: ZAWA... ZAWA... (Murmuring)

Page 84:
Kokubu: Summer vacation is coming up.
So for you third years who are preparing for your exams,
I'm sure you understand that how you spend this summer vacation
will be a major crossroads, right?
----I feel bad for all of you
having to go through changes in your homeroom teacher at a time like this.
I know a lot of you are upset about all this,
but
given the fact that not one of you 38 besides the ones directly involved
said anything about bullying that got so bad that a person had to change schools
and just pretended not to see it, I'd say this is a fair trade-off.

Page 85:
Kokubu: ---And so
I would like to settle this to some degree before summer vacation,
so I'll be hearing a little from individuals.
----First, Takagi
and next, Kawamoto.
Hina: The new homeroom teacher's
clear, well-projected manner of speech
---made the whole class
quiet back down...
Kokubu: When you're called after class,
please come to the staff room.
That is all.
Hina: ----And so
to try to put the situation in order
he decided to call each one's parents.
---Parent-teacher-student meetings.

Page 86:
Hina: Yeah.
I heard a lot of stuff...
Apparently sensei
knew about it the whole time...
but
having been a teacher for so long
----and the same thing happening again and again
and getting all distraught along with them
but seeing over and over again
that there wasn't anything she could do
she couldn't even
bring herself to interfere anymore...

Page 87:
Hina: Onei-chan,
what do I do?
Now I need...
to have you
come to school, too...
I...
Akari: Hina...
Come here.
1 cup of the french toast!!
With lots of fresh cream!!
Here,
take this!!
SFX: DON
Akari: Okay, next
Mister, two beef croquettes!
One plain, one dripping with sauce!
Handwritten: 'Kay! Glad to be of service!
Sign: Meat Hashimoto
Cutlet 180 yen
Minced 150 yen
Croquette 100 yen

Page 88:
Hina: Are you sure?
You always say
not to eat before dinner...
Akari: It's fine.
When can you eat your favorite things if not at times like this?!!
Hina...
Onei-chan will go.
Whether it's a student-parent-teacher conference or what
I'll always be your ally, Hina.
Hina: ...
Mm.

Page 89:
Akari: Okay,
let's go shopping and then head home.
What do you want for dinner?
Hina: .........
Stew.
Akari: Can we add rice to it?
Hina: Sure.
You can add what you want today, too, Onei-chan.
