Arakawa Under the Bridge 15

It's warm under the bridge today.

When it's warm, this riverbed is rather

lovely.
I was strolling alone.

A house?

To say that the guy

in the Kappa costume rules the riveside
is probably an exaggeration.
Oh
After all, ...
-------------------------------
p112
looks like some other people live here.

Chapter 15. Welcome party

Walking around the riverside, I found many

buildings that looked like houses.
Don't come so close!

Eh?

What's this white...
The plants are trampled down. It's like...

Ridiculous
What am I thinking? The aliens can't

possibly....

exist...
----------------------------------------
p114
I was looking for you.
You're the newcomer, Recruit, right?

Who might you be?!
{captions:
Are you an earthling?
Of course}
I'll introduce myself later.

Come with me.
We're holding a welcome party for you.

Eh?

Wow...
--------------------------------------
p115
Do.. all these people live here?
Yeah. They're all nice guys.

I'm sure you'll get along well.

Eh?
Looks like they are good people.
{Though this guy is wearing a sleeping bag }

Being invited to a welcome party doesn't count

as debt.
Everything is alright for now.

{captions:
Well, let's grill it..
Marvelous
A man'c cooking!
Hahaha
I'm looking forward to it
}
-----------------------------------
p116
They all seem to be in the same category as

the Kappa man.
I don't want to get too close to them.
Oh, Rick!
Rick

Kappa, Nino
I see you met Shiro...
Shiro?
// Name "Shiro" means "white"

Ah, that's me.
No way!
Why are you called Shiro?

Did you give him that name on a whim as usual?
It's impolite!
{I expected it to be an oasis!}
Ah, that's because...

I
can only walk on white lines.

White lines?
Haven't you tried it?
The game "I won't leave white lines until I

come home"
{And an additional rule that girls'll hate you

if you lose.}
-----------------------------------
p117
I started this game with the rule "If I stray

from the white lines, my wife will become a

white cornish"

Four years ago I worked out a method to walk

without leaving the white lines, but...
I'm from Hokkaido
And I haven't been home for six years.
{Drawing white lines yourself is pretty handy}

Then, the white paint I saw earlier...
Yes, it's my track.
{
He saw it.
I'm embarrassed.
}

What happened?
Okay, the leading actor has just arrived!
Can you introduce yourself,
Rick?
Sure thing...
-----------------------------
p118
I'll explain clearly to those weirdos
That I'm different from them!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, nice to meet you.
My name is Ichinomiya Kou, I'm a student of

the Tokyo University,
an apprentice in Ichinomiya Company and its

future chairman.

It's well known that Ichinomiya company is one

of the world's largest enterpr...

What are you doing, you bastard!
That's my line!

Looks like you don't understand at all.
You have a different name now.
---------------------------------
p119
Recruit.
I want to hear you talk about your present

self.

It doesn't matter what titles you have.

Nino...
I haven't...yet...

I want to make them regret it.
Nino is so nice!
Yeah, she's as cute as always. Our angel...

I've reflected on my actions.
I'll try to correct my mistake.

My name is Recruit
----------------------------------
p120
I'm Nino's
Lover.

Huh?
I feel uneasy when I see a mask that can show

such facial expressions.
