Arakawa Under the Bridge 20

p143
U-u-u

So heavy

What's this pain?
It's cold.
U-u-u

I can't turn!?

It's like something is lying over my body.

Chapter 20. Midwinter mystery

That day, I woke up in the afternoon.

It's not a dream....

The door is open...
And why am I...
That's right, last night...

What?

Someone was standing on you?
-------------------------------
p145
I'm sure!
Some mysterious man wearing a mantle!

Nino, did you notice something yesterday?
I don't know...
When I'm asleep, you can't wake me up easily.

But there's one thing
bothering me

What's it?
When that guy

was standing on you,
was it enjoyable?
------------------------------
p147
Or maybe he wanted to achieve something?
I think it wasn't easy to keep balance while standing on me.

I really don't know
Who and why could have done such thing.

Could...

Could it be the star guy trying to punch me?
That's too soft!

If it were me,
I'd cut one third of your hair.

When did you come here? Star...
I've seen a rude necktie entering Nino's room...
----------------------------
p148
Speaking about your problem,
wouldn't you normally think it was a ghost?

Eh?

You mean, Ooba Kei from the second channel?
//"Ghost" is pronounced as "Obake"

Who's that?
A ghost! A spirit. A spectre.

Maybe he completely bound you?
Then saying that he was standing on you was a good idea.

Well, I'm not going to threaten you.
There should probably be something here under the bridge, right?
---------------------------------
p149
Hmph.
That's stupid.

Sorry, but I don't believe anything unless I see it with my own eyes.
But
didn't you see it yourself?

I think you should ask Sister for advice on such problems.
A-ha-ha, I see. That's a good idea.
Then, Nino, I'll be going.
He doesn't feel nervous.

Anyway, he seems to be

a realist.

Sister...
Intruder spotted!
You're wrong, it's me!

He went right through
His face was ghastly pale.
