(Possibly vol.09 ch.13.)


page 01

Big text:
「我は征服されること断じてなし」
"I shall not be conquered."

Box:
律先生の与えた言葉－・・・
The words Ritsu-sensei offers...

Ritsu-sensei:
「服従しない」　という意味だよ / 判るかな
It means to say, "I will not submit." / You understand, don't you?


page 02

Ritsuka:
命令はきかないって　いうことか？
So it means, 'I'm not going to yield to your commands'?

Ritsu-sensei:
では　行っておいで
Now go.

Ritsuka:
・・・ありがとう
... Thanks.

Ritsu-sensei:
・・・・・ / 君のためじゃ　なくて / 草灯くんの　ためかも　知れないけど
...... / It may turn out / to be less for your sake than for Soubi's...

Ritsuka:
そのケガ・・・ / 清明のせいだって　聞いたし
That injury... / I heard it was Seimei's fault.
アンタがオレの　味方じゃなくたって　あたりまえだと　思う
I think it's only natural that you aren't my ally.
清明はオレの兄貴だもん
Seimei is my brother after all.


page 03

Ritsu-sensei:
へえ
Oh?
君は清明の味方なのか
Are you Seimei's ally?

Ritsuka:
そうだよ
Yes.
オレは　清明の味方だ
I'm Seimei's ally.
アンタって
You...

Ritsu-sensei:
ん？
hm?

Ritsuka:
少し草灯に　似てる / しゃべり方　とか・・・
remind me of Soubi a bit, / the way you talk and such...


page 04

Ritsu-sensei:
そうかな？
Is that so?
うん・・・ / あの子を　しつけたのは　僕だからねえ
Yes... / because I brought up that boy.

Nagisa:
立夏　行ったわよー
Ritsuka's going.
大丈夫なの
Are you okay with that?

Ritsu-sensei:
今思うと・・・ / 涙のいっぱい　たまった目も / 嫌そうな　への字の口元も / 気にいっていた　なあ
Thinking back to it now... those tear-filled eyes, those unhappy pinched lips... I did love them so~

Nagisa:
サムイ　ひとりごと　やめて！！
Knock off the callous monologuing!


page 05

あの子　面白いね
That kid's interesting.
大人がいつでも　子供にやさしい訳　じゃないって　ちゃんと知ってる
He knows that adults can't be gentle toward children forever.

Nagisa:
当然 じゃないの / 大人だって　人間なのよ
Well, of course. Adults are human too, after all.
そういうふうに　考えられない　子供って大キライ
I hate kids who can't think like that.

Ritsuka:
皆待ってる　行かなくちゃ
Everyone's waiting to go.

Nana:
立夏！　ちょっと待って
Ritsuka! Hang on!

Text:
みつけたっ
found him

Ritsuka:
急ぐんだけど
I'm kind of in a hurry...


page 06

Nana:
ウン　５分だけ / 英雄（ひでお）のこと　なんだけど
Just 5 minutes. / It's about Hideo.
ＢＬＯＯＤＬＥＳＳ　という名前は　血も涙もないって 意味じゃないのよ
The name "Bloodless" doesn't means without blood or lacking emotion.
血を流さずに　戦闘が終わるの
It means a battle that ends without shedding any blood.
でもそれは　痛くないってことじゃ　ないの
But that doesn't mean it never hurts.
体を壊さなくても　心を壊すことは　できるって / 判るよね
Even if you don't wreck someone's body, you can wreck their heart. / You understand, don't you?


page 07

Nana:
闇に包まれた時　ふりはらう言葉を　教えてあげるね
Let me tell you some words to ward off the darkness when it traps you.
それは光よ
This is light.
どんな風にも　消されず　芯も油もなく燃える　一番明るい炎
The brightest fire, one that cannot be extinguished by any wind, one that burns without wick or oil.
それが　光なの
This is that light.
覚えて　いてね
Remember it, okay?

Ritsuka:
・・・ウン / わかった
... Okay. / I understand.
あんたって　最初に思ってた　けど
I've thought this since we first met...


page 08

魔女　みたいだ
You remind me of a witch.

Nana:
あー・・・ / あと　これっ / どうぞ
Ah... / Also, here... / take this.

Ritsuka:
何？ / まさか　ゴミ？
What? / A piece of trash?

Nana:
おまもりでしょ！ 見れば判ると　思うんだけどう / かかんない　かなっ
It's a charm! I'd think it's obvious just by looking at it... / You really didn't know?

Ritsuka:
どうも
Thanks...

Clearly written on the charm:
おまもり
CHARM

Nana:
なにその　うさんくさげな　目つき / おまもりを　疑うんじゃ　ないのよ！
Is that suspicion in your eyes? / Don't doubt the charm!
あたしはちゃんと　　数字で証明できる　ことしか信じないの
I only believe in things that can be proven by solid numbers.

Ritsuka's thoughts:
やっぱ　魔女だ・・・
As I thought, a witch....


page 09

Nana:
おまもりを待つ　ことによる達成率の　上昇は２００％以上　なんだから！
With a charm, your skill level will increase by more than 200%!
あたしの統計に　よればだけど
According to my calculations, anyway...

Text:
クス
hehe

Ritsuka:
ありがとう　行ってきます
Thanks, I'm off!

Narrative boxes:
「言葉をあげる」って
Everyone says / "I give you these words."


page 10

言葉なんて　口先のことだと　思うてた / 言葉だけの　奴なんて　信用できないと　思うてた
I thought words were just meaningless syllables. / That people who were all talk couldn't be trusted.
それは今でも　変わらないけど
Even now it's like that.
だけど / 今このとき　オレが出かける　ときに / 言ってくれなかったら　どうだろ / 誰も何も
But now, / as I'm setting out this time... / if no one had told me anything, / what would happen?
多分あいつら / オレに必要な　「言葉」をくれた
Perhaps they... / gave me the "words" that I needed.


page 11

不思議だ
It's strange.
言葉ってきっと / 心を伝えるための　ものなんだ・・・
Words are surely / for the sake of conveying the heart...
好き　も　嫌い　も
for love or for hate.
言葉が / 心を伝える
Words, they... / convey the heart.
だから　何も言わないのは　卑怯なんだよ！！
So not telling me anything is unfair!!


page 12

清明！！
Seimei!!

Youji:
なんだコレ / ぶっさいくー
What the hell is this? / It's so ugly...

Charm reads:
おまもり
CHARM

Ritsuka:
達成率 ２００％のお守り　だって
It's to increase our chance of winning by 200%.

Youji:
むしろ　呪われそうな　かんじ？ / ７（なな）ってけっこう　思ってたのと違う　タイプかもなー
But don't you think it almost seems cursed? Maybe Nana's not quite the person I thought she was...

Natsuo:
そうだな　アレでも別に　いいか
Guess we don't need to worry about that thing.

Bubble:
何が
What...


page 13

Ritsuka:
草灯は　ＢＬＯＯＤＬＥＳＳと　戦ったことがある？
Soubi, have you fought Bloodless before?

Soubi:
ないね
No.

Ritsuka:
心を　壊すんだって
It's said they wreck the heart.

Soubi:
立夏は / 心を壊すって　どういうことだか　判る？
Ritsuka, / do you know what it's like to wreck a heart?

Ritsuka:
どうやるのかは　判んないな・・・ / ガラスとか　黒板とか　ひっかくかんじかも
I don't know how you would do it... / Maybe it would be like scratching glass or a blackboard [with your fingernails].
でも　心が傷ついたら　どうなるかは　判る
But I know what happens when a heart is wounded.


page 14

胸が　痛くて / 涙が出る / ユイコが　泣いてる時　みたいに
The chest hurts, / and tears come, / like when Yuiko cries.
心が　壊れたら / どうなると　思う / ・・・どうだろ
If a heart was actually wrecked... I wonder what would happen.
たぶん / うちの / 母さんみたいに　なる
I think probably... they'd become like my mother.

Side-text:
心を伝え、壊す、「言葉」－・・・。
Words that convey the heart, and that wreck it...
