Arakawa Under the Bridge 34

p079
Rainy season came to Arakawa.

It's raining cats and dogs.
Four days in a row...

The number of cars crossing the bridge decreased.
The water flowing from the bridge sounded like a waterfall.

I can't be sure because I don't have a TV, but it certainly looks like a big problem.
Nevertheless I like rainy days.

After all, only on such days I can...
relax alone.

Chapter 34. Rainy season

Rick thought that he was alone in his room, but when he turned around...
He saw that the room was packed with people who live under the bridge.

Oh

Nooooo!
Noooo!
What are you crying about?

I'll just poke both of you on the forehead.
Chief, chief, chief, chief!
Star?

You can't tell lies!
Gyaaaa!
{Sister won't accept any lies.}

Looks like you are having fun.
Are you...
---------------------------
p082
performing an illegal group intrusion?
Hi, Rick, sorry for bursting in.
Ah, I took this cup to use it as an ashtray.

I thought that the door was locked.
How did you enter?
You probably didn't notice when we knocked because of the rain.

I just had to poke on the door to open it.
So it had the same fate as that body lying there?

Anyway, this is illegal.
What the heck, how did you manage to create all this mess?

Please, leave right now!
Who gave you permission to make racket in my house?
Recruit...

Our house...
was washed away...

It happens every year...

This year
even the church was completely submerged by water.
Oh
No way... Then, you mean that...

Sister's home was also washed away?
No, it's safe.

It's built so that in case of disaster...
if you lock the door, nothing can enter inside.
Sister, that's cool!
You built it waterproof to withstand the rainy season...
No...
-------------------------------------
p084
actually I intended to make it withstand a nuclear bomb.
That's too precautious.

Now I use it only during the rain...
but when the next World War begins, you'll be able to feel safe inside it...
Don't say such ominous things!

So, this is the only place where you can find shelter every year?
This means that...

This location was like a refuge shelter?
Exactly.

Then why didn't you tell me when I was going to build my house here?
That's because we were kind.
--------------------------------------
p085
This place has been ours since the very beginning.
We just lent it to you until now.

I'm grateful...
So now I can't tell you to get lost?

Argh.
What the heck?
I became indebted to them before realizing it?

No, that's not it!
Hm?

I don't owe you anything!
That's because this place doesn't belong to you!
----------------------------------
p086
This is public property!
In other words, no single person can take it, because it belongs to the government!

That goes for me too!
Don't get so upset.
You even connected this place to the electricity mains.
Let's find a compromise.
