町田由美　
Board: Michida Yumi
転校して初めてあの二人を見たときは。。。
Yumi: After I transfered the first time I saw those two...

双子だと思った
Yumi: I thought they were twins.

町田くんの席はここだ
Teacher: Machida's seat will be here.

ふん一番前か　監視しやすいからねえ
Yumi: Hmm all the way in the front? Must be so it's easier to keep track of me

５
先生!
Kamei: Sensei

な。。。なんだ亀井
Sensei: W... What do you want Kamei?

私の席を町田さんの隣にしてください！
Kamei: Please let me sit next to Machida!

し。。。しかし
Sensei: B... But...

Kamei: Sensei!

お願いします！
Kamei: Please!
わっ！
Sensei: Ah!

わかった
Sensei: Okay
わかったから
Sensei: Alright

Sensei: Yamada
へい
Yamada: Huh?
亀井と席をかわってやってくれ
Sensei: Trade seats with Kamei.

はじめまして
Kamei: Nice to meet you.

なんだこいつ
Yumi: What's up with her...

ちょっと
Yumi: Hey
７
なんでついてくるんだよ
Yumi: Why are you following me around?

町田さんトイレへいくんでしょう　一緒にいくわ
Kamei: Machida san, you're going to the toilet right? I'll go with you.

なんでお前と行かなきゃなんないんだよ
Yumi: Why do I have to go with you?
だって親友でしょ
Kamei: Well, we're friends right?

親友？
Yumi: Friends?

いつから親友になったんだよ？
Yumi: When did we become friends?

アホか？お前
Yumi: Are you stupid?
あたしを誰だと思っているんだよ
Yumi: Who do you think I am?

格が違うんだよお前とは
Yumi: We're different, you and I
前の学校でやりたい放題やっててむりやり転校させられたけど
Yumi: I did whatever I wanted at my old school and they forced me to transfer
またここで番長ってやるよ
Yumi: I'm going to be the boss here too

８
覚悟しときな
Yumi: You better be ready!

。。。町田さんて。。。きれいね
Kamei: ... Machida san is really pretty...

なんだって！？
Yumi: What did you say!?

変な野郎。。。
Yumi: What a weirdo...

何を考えてるんだ。。。
Yumi: What is she thinking...
９
ちっ　
Yumi: Tsk.

ついてくるな
Yumi: Stop following me!

お願いです子分でもいいから一緒にいさせてください
Kamei: Please, I'll be your lackey so let me come along with you
やだね
Yumi: No way
あたしはお前みたいなのが大嫌いなんだよ
Yumi: I really hate people like you

なんでもします
Kamei: I'll do anything!
万引きでも強かつでもなんでもしますから
Kamei: Shop lifting, strong arming, whatever it takes

いい加減にしろ
Yumi: Get real!

そういう問題じゃねんだよ！
Yumi: That's not the problem!

万引きしたけりゃひとりでやってな
Yumi: If you wanna shoplift go do it yourself

１０
ちょっとあんた姉妹でしょ？
Yumi: Hey, aren't you guys sisters?

なんとかしてくんない？
Yumi: Can't you do something about this?
迷惑してるんだよ
Yumi: She's a real bother.

こういうヘンな人間は社会に出しちゃまずいよ
Yumi: Letting out a weirdo like this into society would be pretty bad

その人私の姉でも妹でもありませんよ
Lookalike: This person isn't my sister.

はあ！？
Yumi: What!?

赤の他人です
Lookalike: She's completely unrelated to me.

嘘つけ　そっくりじゃねえかよ
Yumi: You liar, you look exactly alike!

嘘じゃないわよねえ！
Lookalike: I'm not lying, right?

１１
うん　まあ。。。
Glasses: Yeah, well...
嘘じゃないよ
Glasses: It's not a lie.

そうかい
Yumi: So that's how it is.
そんなにあたしといたいかい
Yumi: You want to be with me that much?
ハイ
Kamei: Yes!

それじゃあついてきな！
Yumi: Then come with me!
ハイ！
Kamei: Okay!

１２
どうもお前は世界知らずのようだね
Yumi: Seems like you don't know anything about the real world
社会の怖さを教えてやるよ
Yumi: I'll teach you about the horrors of society

ほらよ
Yumi: Come on!

どうだいいたいだろう！
Yumi: It hurts doesn't it!?
キャッいたいっ
Kamei: Kya! Ow!

これに懲りたら
Yumi: If you've learned from this
明日からもとの席に戻りな
Yumi: Go back to your original seat tomorrow

そして。。。
Yumi: And...
１３
なんだよお前は！？
Yumi: What do you want!?

やめとけよ　この女はあんたの手におえる相手じゃないぜ
Hibino: Stop this, this girl isn't someone that _you_ would be able to drive away

なにっ！
Yumi: What?

おい亀井お前もいい加減しないか！
Hibino: Hey Kamei, how about you quit it too

フフフ
Kamei: Fufufu

ウフフフフ
Kamei: Ufufufufu

助けてくれてありがとう。。。　日比野くん
Kamei: Thanks for helping me... Hibino kun

ルン
Kamei: run~ (note: she's just making a noise here)

１４
あ〜あ　ようやく離れたよ。
Yumi: Ah~ She's finally gone.
あんたのおかげでね。。。　ありがとよ
Yumi; All thanks to you.

あの女には近づかない方がいい
Hibino: You should avoid that girl
なるべく遠くにいろ
Hibino: Stay as far away from her as you can

あいつの方からくっついてくるんだよ
Yumi: She's the one clinging onto me

それはあいつに目的があるからだよ
Hibino: That's cause she has a goal
目的
Yumi: a goal?

あいつはね　あんたを盗もうとしている
Hibino: She's... trying to 'steal' you.

あたしを盗む！？
Yumi: 'steal' me!?
どういう意味よ誘拐でもしようってわけ？
Yumi: What do you mean? She's gonna kidnap me?

１５
いや。。。そうではなくて
Hibino: No... that's not it.
あいつの体は普通じゃないんだ
Hibino: Her body isn't normal.

普通じゃない？
Yumi: not normal?

マジな顔で話してるわりには大笑いな内容だわ
Yumi: Talking about such an unbelievable topic with that serious face
そんな人間いるもんか
Yumi: As if someone like that could exist

１６
いい勝負してるよあんたも
Yumi: You guys are putting up a pretty good fight.
普通じゃないね
Yumi: Definitely not normal.

この野郎。。。　まだいたのか
Yumi: This bitch... she's still here.

お前まだ懲りないのか？
Yumi: You still haven't learned?

１７
ねえ。。。
Kamei: Hey...

バスになんか乗って。。。
Kamei: Riding a bus...
どこへ行くの？
Kamei: Where are you headed?

１８
あいつの体は普通じゃないんだ
Hibino: Her body isn't normal.
特異体質なんだ！
Hibino: It has a unique composition.

あいつは特定の人間に長時間接していると。。。
Hibino: When she gets close to someone for a long period of time...
顔形がそっくりになるんだ！
Hibino: Her face and figure become exactly alike!

その体質を利用して彼女は過去に何度も姿を変えているんだ
Hibino: Using that composition she's been able to change her image countless times in the past
俺が最初に見たときは松田聖子にそっくりだった。。。写真でも可能らしんだ
HIbino: When I first saw her she looked like Matsuda Seiko... Seems like she can do it with photos as well.

しかしそれ以後はもっぱらこの中学の美しい女生徒に接近し　その容姿を盗んでいる
Hibino: However, after that she got really close to this one beautiful student and stole her appearance
彼女は自分の望む美貌を欲しいままにしているわけだ　そして飽きるまでくっついて離れない
Hibino: She's just like that when she wants that idealized beauty. She won't leave you alone, clinging onto you until you get sick of her.

１９
ねえどこまでいくの？
Kamei: Hey, how far are we going?

ユミさんしばらくね。。。今日は呼び出したりして何の用？
Girl1: It's been a while Yumi... Why'd you call us out here today?

おや？うしろにいるのはだれだい？
Girl1: Oh? Who's that behind you?

２０
こいつかい？こいつはね。。。
Yumi: Her? She's...
あたしだよ
Kamei: It's me!

ユ。。。　ユミさんどっちがユミさんだい！？
Girl1: Y... Yumi? Which one is Yumi!?

も。。。　もちろん。。。
Yumi: Of... Of course it's...

もちろんあたしだよ！
Kamei: Of course it's me!

２１
こいつがニセ者なんだよ！
Kamei: This one's the fake!
一体どういうことよ！
Girl1: What the hell is going on?

説明するよ！
Kamei: I'll explain it!
実はこいつの親父が美容整形医でね
Kamei: Actually her dad's a plastic surgeon.
こいつ転校してきた　あたしの顔が気に入ったらしくて　親父にせがんで整形したそうなんだよ！
Kamei: She transfered over here and liked my face so she had her dad fix her up!

ふざけた野郎だろう？　
Kamei: She's one messed up punk, huh?
嘘いうんじゃないよ！
Yumi: Don't lie!

何が嘘だよ　あんた　あたしの顔をまねるなんて　いい度胸してるじゃないか！
Kamei: Who's lying!? You've got a lot of guts copying my face, don't you!

し。。。しかし今日びの整形手術はすごいね。。。まるでそっくりだよ
Girl: B... But that's some amazing plastic surgery... she looks completely the same
バカなにいってるんだい！
Kamei: Idiot, what are you talking about!
おだまりっ！
?: Shut up!

往生際の悪い奴だね　
Kamei: You're one stubborn bitch.
今からゆっくり料理してやる
Kamei: I'm going to take my time with you
２２
なんだそのざまは
Kamei: What a sight you are

あれは。。。
Hibino: That's...

ホラ！しっかり歩きな
Kamei: C'mon! Get a hold of yourself and walk!

おいどうした
Hibino: Hey, what happened?

あっ
Hibino: Ah!?

どっちが亀井だ！？
Hibino: Which one is Kamei!?

２３
お前だな？亀井
Hibino: It's you right? Kamei...

日比野くん。。。
Kamei: Hibino kun...

一体なにをしたんだ
Hibino: What the hell did you do?

日比野くん。。。　今度はどう？
Kamei: Hibino kun... How do you like me now?

大丈夫か
Hibino: Are you okay?

ちくしょう。。。
Yumi: Dammit...

ねえ私はあなたのためにやってるのよ
Kamei: Hey, I did this for your sake
あなたのために美しくなってるのよ。。。
Kamei: I became beautiful for you...

２４
これでも振りむいてはくれないの？
Kamei: And yet I still can't catch your eye?

血が出てる
Hibino: She's bleeding.

日比野くん無視しないで
Kamei: Hibino kun don't ignore me!

よせよ！
Hibino: Stop it

オレは盗んだ美しさなんていやだよ
Hibino: I hate things like stolen beauty.

堂々と自分の姿で来いよ
Hibino: Come as your actual self!

無理よ
Kamei: That's impossible.

自分の本当の姿になんてもどれないわ
Kamei: I can't return to my actual self.

２５
そりゃあ　不可能ではないわ　でもそれをやるには　他人との接触をすべて絶たなくてはダメね
Kamei: It's not impossible but to do that I wouldn't be able to come in contact with other people

それとも日比野くんそれまで私に監獄にとじこもっていろというわけ
Kamei: Or would you prefer to put me in that kind of prison

私は日常生活の中でいやおうなしに　他人の影響を受けなければならないのよ
Kamei: In my normal every day life I can't help but be influenced by other people

それだったらこの人みたいなきれいな人の影響だけを受けます
Kamei: If that's how it is, then I'll only be influenced by a beautiful person like this.

あなたなんかに
Kamei: For you...

。。。こんな気持ちわからないんだわ
Kamei: ... There's no way you could understand these feelings.

２６
いけねー　また遅刻だよ
Kamei: Oh no, I'm late again.

早くあいつにくっつかないと顔がもとにもどってしまう　変身したては不安定なんだ　あの女番きのういためつけたから少しはおとなしくなっただろう
Kamei: If I don't get close to her soon my face is going to revert. This transformation is really unstable. i roughed up that punk yesterday so I wonder if she'll play nice today.

しかし最近変身のスピードがすごく速くなったみたい
Kamei: But recently it seems like the transformation speed has gotten quicker.

おっはようございまーす！
Kamei: Good Mor~ning

２７

あ。。。　あんたたち。。。　
Kamei: Ah... You guys...

せ。。。　
Kamei: T...
先生！
Kamei: Teacher!

ん！
Teacher: Hm!
ああ亀井か。。。　早く席につきなさい
Teacher: Ah, Kamei... Hurry up and take your seat.

２８
どうしたんだよ亀井早く来いよ
Student: What's wrong Kamei? Hurry up and come here!

くそっ
Kamei: Shit!

作戦大成功
Yumi: A complete success!

どの教室いってもムダだよ
Yumi: No matter which classroom you run to it'll be the same!

さすがのあんたもこんなのには近よれないだろ
Yumi: I bet you never expected something like this.

あたしをなめるとこうなるんだよ！
Yumi: This is what happens with you underestimate me!

ざまーみろ
Yumi: What a spectacle!

２９
日比野お前　面つけないのか？
Student: Hibino, you're not gonna wear your mask?
あいつがくるぞ
Student: She's comin

なぜ先生まで面をつけるんです！？
Hibino: Why's a teacher wearing these masks too!?

学校ぐるみで一生徒を追いつめるようなまねをして
Hibino: For a whole school to gang up on one person like this
あとで問題になりますよ
Hibino: It's going to create some problems later.

ああそのことだが。。。
Teacher: Well about that...

彼女はこの学校の生徒ではないんだよ
Teacher: She's not a student at this school

え？
Hibino: What!?

君らは知らんと思うが。。。　彼女は何の許可もなく　ずっと以前から　この学校にもぐりこんでいるんだ
Teacher: I didn't think you knew but... She never had any sort permission. She slipped into this school the whole time.
素性もまったく知れない年齢も君らよりずっと上だろう
Teacher: Nobody knows anything about her origin, and she's probably a lot older than all of you.
知っての通りあんな人間だし　しかも悪知恵にたけていて　なかなか追い出せなかった。。。
Teacher: Just as you're aware, she's that kind of person. On top of that, she's cunning, so we weren't able to force her out.
３０
それで　校長も　困っていたんだが。。。
Teacher: So even the principal was troubled but.
昨日　ある生徒が担任にこのアイデアをもってきてね　試しにやってみたんだ
Teacher: Yesterday a student brought this idea up to her home room teacher and we decided to give it a try.

だから効果があれば問題になるどころか万事解決なんだ
Teacher: Therefore, if there are any results, rather than causing a problem, it'll be be a great relief.

あっ　あいつ　グラウンドを走っていくぞ
Student: Hey, she's running towards the sports ground.
あっ　亀井が来たぞ
Student: Ah! Kamei's here!

おもしろい
Students: Cool~
つかまえろ
Students: Get her!

３１
まてよ
Students: Wait!

やめて〜っ
Kamei: Stop it~!

あいつらなにやってるんだ
Hibino: What the hell are those guys doing!

冗談にもほどがある
Hibino: There are limits to even jokes!
やめさせないと
Hibino: If I don't stop them then...


３２
ばかな！
Kamei: Ridiculous!
こんなに急に！
Kamei: It happened this soon!?

ひ。。。日比野。。。
Kamei: Hi... Hibino...

日比野くん。。。　鏡を見せて！
Kamei: Hibino kun... Let me see a mirror!

な。。。なんてこった。。。
Student: O... Oh my god...

Notes:
I love Junji Itou's stuff. I'm really surprised that more of this stuff isn't translated. I didn't bother doing anything from tank 1-3 since it's already been published by darkhorse, but since none of it has really been released for a long time and this story was particularly interesting to me, I decided to do this one real quick. Needless to say it needs quite a bit of editing since a lot of it is rushed.

This one reminds me a lot of "Tanin no Kao" AKA Face of another. It's also got a lot of pretty hilarious references with the masks to Blackjack, Kitaro, etc... Pretty neat.

Send me a message if anyone wants to use this for a scan.
