Hokenshitsu no Shinigami 22

So that no one is confused, I used who's "soul" was on screen instead of who's body was. So it will say Atsuko and look like Hanamaki but it'll really be Atsuko inside. I hope that doesn't confuse anyone.

Seems like I had a lot of notes this time around...

Anyway, reserved, tell me if I messed up!

Day after day, work, work, work, work, seven days a week, work.
I can't take it anymore...I need a break...
I want to hang out with my friends...!
Ahh...is that girl going to school now? How nice...
I can't even go to school anymore...
I want to be that girl...
Just throw aside everything to do with work...and be like that girl...

Yasuda, what are you doing?

Yasuda：　探してる
Looking.

Mimasaka：　何を
For?

Yasuda：　電波のいいトコだよ
もうすぐAKYのライブ番組やるから
A good place to get a signal.
They're about to do AKY's live program.

Mimasaka：　録画しとけよ
Just record it.

Yasuda：　録画もしてる
I am.

Ashitaba：　なんだっけ・・・前田・・・？
Who is that again...? Maeda...?

Mimasaka：　後前田あつこ！
最近　露出が増えてきてるらしくて安田がウザい
Ushiromaeda Atsuko!
It seems like she's been everywhere lately and Yasuda's being annoying.

Ashitaba：　美作くんってアイドルには興味ないの？
Do you have any interest in idols, Mimasaka-kun?

Mimasaka：　オレは遠くのバラより近くのタンポポ派だからなー
I'm more of a distant rose than a up-close dandelion.

Fuji：　なんだ　そりゃ
What the hell are you talking about?

Atsuko：　やっばい遅刻ちこくー！
Ohh, man, I'm late!

Atsuko：　みんな～！
おっはよ～！
Everyone!
Good morning!

Ashitaba：　あ・・・あ　おはよう・・・花巻さん・・・？
Ah...ah, good morning, Hanamaki-san...?

Atsuko：　あっ　花巻？　あたし　あたしー　おけよ
ねーねー　それより聞いてもいいかなぁ
あたしの席ってどこたっけ？
Ah, Hanamaki? That's me, that's me, okay!
Hey, hey, more importantly, can I ask you something?
Where's my seat again?

Mimasaka：　おい・・・アレは確実にアタマ打ってるだろ・・・
それもかなり深刻なレベルで
Hey, did she hit her head?
And she's seriously rebelling...

Ashitaba：　い・・・いや　盛大なイメチェンって官能性も・・・
ないか・・・
N...no, it's more like a huge image change.
Right...?

My sneaking in was a success!
This...is me...?

そして　そこに転がっているのがおまえの姿をした哀れな少女
おまえとその少女の身体は入れ替わったのだ・・・
我が名はフォルトゥナ
旅人よ・・・おまえがおのれの運命を乗ろうと言うなら手を貸そう
わたしには他人と他人の「魂」を入れ替える力がある・・・
この車輪の回転が止まる・・・
１２時間先まで
Yes.
And the one lying here with your form is this pitiful girl.
You and this girl's bodies have switched.
My name is Fortuna.
A traveler. Because you said you wanted to share in the same fate as I, I am lending my hand.
I have the power to switch one person's soul for another...

For one brief moment, you can enjoy yourself.

Atsuko：　はぁ～　机のニオイ♡　これこれ♡　懐かしい・・・
夢みたい　丸々ー日休みなんて・・・
Haaa...the smell of a desk. This is so nostalgic...
It's like a dream. I've got the day completely off...

Fuji：　・・・おい　花巻
花巻！
花巻！
Hey, Hanamaki.
Hanamaki!
Hanamaki!

Atsuko：　はっ
いっけない　忘れてた
オッスオラ花巻！
な　何か用？
Ha!
Oh, no, I forgot!
Hiya, Hanamaki here!
What can I do for you?

Fuji：　は？
あ・・・お・・・おお・・・
Ha?
Ah...oh...ohhh...

Atsuko：　保健室？
どうして？　あたしどこもおかしくないよ？
The infirmary?
Why? It's nowhere strange, is it?

Mimasaka：　いや　明らかにおかしいトコがあんだろ　一か所
No、it's obviously strange, that place is.

Ashitaba：　と・・・とにかくハデス先生に診てもらおうよ
そしたら全部ハッキリするから・・・
A...anyway, we should have Hades-sensei look at her.
Then we'll know for certain.

Atsuko：　はです先生・・・？
あれ・・・？　ヤバイこれあたしひょっとして疑われてるんじゃ・・・
どうしよう・・・いや・・・今こそアイドルのエンギ力を発揮する時！
そっ
そ・・・
そんなこと言って・・・
Hades-sensei...?
Huh? This is bad, I think they might be suspicious of me...!
What am I going to do? No...right now is the time to use my acting!
S...
Say...
Saying things like that...


Page 7
Atsuko：　どうせ　やらしい事考えてるんでしょ～
もぉ　エッチ♡
You've got to be thinking something disgusting.
You pervert.

Fuji or Mimasaka：　しっかりしろ　アシタバ！
Hang on, Ashitaba!

Ashitaba：　じょ・・・女子に・・・女子に・・・
僕は・・・僕は・・・もう生きていけない
A...a girl...a girl...
I...I can't go on living anymore...!

Fuji or Mimasaka：　早まるな
Don't be so rash!

Atsuko：　あれ・・・これこないだ撮ったDVDのセリフそのまんまだな・・・
ま・・・まあ　いっか諦めてくれたみたいだし　　結果オーライ
Huh...that's the exact line I used in the DVD the other day...
We...well. It looks like they've given up. I guess it all turned out all right.

Text box：　一方　その頃
Meanwhile, on the other side

Hanamaki：　何・・・これ・・・どうなってるの・・・わ･･･私・・・
学校に行こうとしてたとこまでは覚えてるのに・・・
だ・・・駄目・・・混乱して全然状況に頭が追いつかない・・・！
What...how did it turn out like this...I...I...
I was going to school and that's as far as I can remember...
This...this is bad...I'm confused, I can't seem to wrap my head around this...

あつこ！

How long are you going to be in the toilet?
The performance is about to start!

Hanamaki：　へっ・・・
ほ・・・本番って・・・なんの・・・
ていうかここ女子トイレ・・・
Huh...
The performance...what's...
I mean, this is the girl's bathroom...

Manager：　今日の生放送のに決まってるだろ！
大遅刻してきて寝ボケるなよ
上から衣装入れるからもうソコで着替えて！
急いで！
あつこ！
ほら　こっち並んで
早く！
Today is obviously the live performance!
You're super late and half-asleep.
I'm going hand you some clothes over the top of the stall so hurry up and change!
Get a move on!
Atsuko!
Hey, line up here.
Hurry up!
[T/N: I added "the stall" because I thought "over the top" sounded strange but I think that's what he means. You can see the manager has a box in that one panel.]

Hanamaki：　は・・・はいぃぃ
Ye...yes...

Manager：　何をモジモジしてるんだ
What are you hesitating for?

Hanamaki：　あ・・・！　あの・・・なぜ水着を・・・
Ah...um...why a bathing suit...

Manager：　寒中水泳やるって教えといただろう　　いいから早くしろ
I already told you we're going to be swimming in the middle of winter! Okay, so hurry up and do it!

Hanamaki：　か・・・寒・・・？
Swi...swim...?

Someone：　すみません　後前田あつこ準備できました
お願いします
Excuse me. Ushiromaeda Atsuko, we're ready for you.
Thank you.
[T/N: Yes, I know お願いします means "please" but I thought it sounded awkward.]

Hanamaki：　ええっ？
う・・・嘘　ここから？　む・・・無理です
ムリムリムリ
むっ
ど・・・
どうなってるの～！
Ehh?
No...no way. From here? I can't!
I can't, I can't do it! I can't!

Manager：　泣いてないでリアクションしてくれよ！　まったく
React without crying! Jeez...

Hades-sensei：　花巻さんの様子がおかしい・・・？
Hanamaki-san is acting strange...?

Fuji：　おかしいなんてモンじゃねーよ　まるで別人
アシタバなんてすっかりヘコまされちまったし
She's not even acting strange, it's like she's a whole nother person.
She completely humiliated Ashitaba.

Ashitaba：　う～ん　う～ん
エッチ・・・エッチ・・・
Yes...yes...
I'm a pervert, a pervert...

Fuji：　ついさっき教室でもー・・・
Just a little while ago, in the classroom...


Page 10
Atsuko：　ドッジ
ボール
しょーっ！
Let's play
Dodge
Ball!

Boy：　え？　あ・・・
うん・・・
今・・・パンツか・・・
Eh...ah...
Okay...
Were those her panties just now?

Boy：　パンツ見えた
I saw her panties.

Boy：　い・・・いいけど・・・？
パンツ・・・
A...all right.
Panties.

Fuji：　美作はつられてついて行っちまうし
アンタなら原因が何かわかんじゃねーのか？
She lured Mimasaka and he went with them.
If it's you, you'd know the cause of all this.

Hades-sensei：　花巻さんが今どこにいるかわかる？
Do you know where Hanamaki-san is right now?

Fuji：　中庭だろ
ドッジやるて言ってたし
In the courtyard.
I told you, they're playing dodgeball.


Page 11
Atsuko：　ありゃあーっ！
イエーイ
あっとひっとりー
Aaaall right!
Yay!
Got someone!

Hades-sensei：　確かになんか違うね
She certainly is different.

Mimasaka：　バカかテメー　なんで先生連れてくんだよ！
Are you an idiot, you bastard? Why'd you bring sensei?

Fuji：　うるせーな　見るに耐えねーだろ
Shut up. I couldn't stand to watch it.

Mimasaka：　紳士ぶりやがって
Such a fucking gentleman...!

Hades-sensei：　なるほど
そういうことか・・・
I see...
So it's like that.

Disease demon：　どうだ　気分は・・・？
How are you feeling?

Atsuko：　もう最高！
あ～あ　ずーっとこのままでいれたらいいのになー
Wonderful!
Ahh, it'd be great if I could stay like this forever...

Disease demon：　そうか・・・ならば良い
ふふふ・・・
I see...then, that's good.
Fufufu...


Page 12
Hades-sensei：　花巻さん
Hanamaki-san.

Atsuko：　ははい花巻
あたしでー・・・
どぅわあっ！
きゃーっ！　
きゃーきゃー
おばけぇぇええええ
Yes, yes, Hanamaki.
That's me -
Dowaaahh!
Kyaaa!
Kyaa, kyaaa!
It's a ghoooost!

Fuji：　久々だな　この反応
It's been a while since we've seen that reaction.

Hades-sensei：　じゃあ・・・今花巻さんの身体に「入って」いるのは・・
え～・・・まえだうしろ・・・
So, then...the one "inside" of Hanamaki-san's body is...
Eh...Maedaushiro...

Atsuko：　う・・・
後前田あつこです・・・
U...
Ushiromaeda Atsuko.

Fuji：　へェー　芸能人かよ　スゲーな
Hehh, a performer, huh. That's cool.

Ashitaba：　驚くことそこ・・・？
You find that surprising?

Mimasaka：　お・・・おい　ちょっと待てよ　それじゃあ・・・
今「後前田あつこの身体」の方はどうなってんだ？
H-hey, hang on a minute. Then...
Right now, what's going on with "Ushiromaeda Atsuko's body"?


Page 13
Fuji：　どうしたよ　興奮して
What's up? You're getting all excited.

Mimasaka：　どーしたも何も・・・
今　安田が学校フケてあつこのイベント行ってんだよ！
Nothing's up...
Yasuda skipped school and he's heading to Atsuko's event right now!

Ashitaba：　や・・・安田くん・・・
Ya...Yasuda-kun...

Fuji：　救い難いなあいつ・・・
It's going to be hard to get that guy to help us...

Mimasaka：　「中」に入ってんのは花巻なんだろ？
タイヘンな事になってんじゃねーか・・・
Isn't Hanamaki "inside"?
Something awful's going to happen.

Hades-sensei：　そうだね・・・急いで花巻さんと合流しよう
イベントはどこでやってるの？
That's right...we need to hurry and meet up with Hanamaki-san.
Where is the event being held?

Atsuko：　あ・・・
と・・・常伏駅前のデパートで・・・
Ah...
The department store in front of Tokofushi station.

Mimasaka：　ちょっと安田に電話してみるか・・・
もしもし安田か？
Hang on, let me try to call Yasuda.
Hello, Yasuda?


Page 14
Yasuda：　っだよ　美作かよ！　今それどころじゃねーんだよ
あ？
あつこの様子がおかしいんだよ・・・振りつけはメチャクチャ歌詞カード見ながら歌ったりして
結局イベント中止になっちまったし
何がいいんだよ　良かねーっつの　え？　俺？　
いや・・・まだデパートウロウロしてっとけど・・・心配だしさ・・・
は？　ハデス先生？
What, Mimasaka! Not right now...
Ah?
Atsuko was acting strange...her dancing was everywhere and she was looking at the lyrics card while she was singing...
They stopped the event in the end...
What's so good about that? It's not good - huh? Me?
No, I'm still wandering around the department store...I'm worried.
Huh? Hades-sensei?

Atsuko：　あっちが控え室です
The waiting room is that way!

Hades-sensei：　わっかた
Got it.

Yasuda：　もしもし？　ああ　今通った
何？　何が起こってんの？
Hello? Yeah, they just passed by.
What? What's going on?

Girl：　あっちー大丈夫かなぁ
Is it going to be okay?

Girl：　ねー・・・
Hey...

Manager：　あつこ！　お前　一体何やってるんだ？
Atsuko! What the hell are you doing?

Hanamaki：　ひ・・・あ・・・あの
Hi...ah..um...


Page 15
Manager：　歌詞はド忘れするわダンスズタズタだわ・・・
他のメンバーもいい迷惑だ！　わかってるのか？
You completely forgot the lyrics and your dancing was all over the place...
None of the other members are giving us this much trouble! Do you understand?

Hanamaki：　う・・・ううううう
ごめんなさい　ごめんなさい
で・・・で・・・でも・・・あの・・・な・・・
なにかの間違いなんです・・・
わ・・・私がアイドルだなんて・・・
Uh...uhhhh...
I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...
B...bu...but...um...I...
I think you're mistaken...
Me, being an idol?

Manager：　はぁ？
Huh?

Hanamaki：　で・・・ですから
こ・・・こ　これ以上私がアイドルのお仕事に携わってしまったら
本物のあつこさんにご・・・ご迷惑が・・・
S...so...
If...if I act as an idol any more than this...
I'm going to...cause trouble for the real Atsuko-san...

Manager：　何をわけのわからない・・・
I get don't get what you're saying...

Man：　青山くーん　ちょっといい？
なんだかよくわからない２人組が来てるんだけど
Aoyama-kun, got a minute?
I don't really understand but there's two people out here.

Manager：　ファンの子ですか？
Are they fans?

Man：　それがさぁハナマキさんを出せとか言ってて
そんな子AKYのメンバーにいたっけ？
Well, they keep asking for Hanamaki-san to come out.
Do we have anyone like that in AKY?

Manager：　あっ
おい！　あつこ！
Ah...
Hey! Atsuko!

Lady：　だからダメなんですってば
I'm telling you, I can't.

Atsuko：　なんでよ！　伝言くらいいいでしょ
あつこに言えばわかるわよ！　「ハナマキ」って・・・
Why! You can at least tell her!
If you ask Atsuko, you'll understand! "Hanamaki"...


Page 16
Hades-sensei：　花巻さん！
Hanamaki-san!

Atsuko：　あたし！
Me!

Hanamaki：　は・・・
は・・・は
ハデス先生～！
Ha...
Ha...Ha...
Hades-sensei!

Lady：　あ・・・マネージャーさん・・・
この人たちあっちーの知り合いなんですか？
Ah...manager-san...
Do you know these people?

Atsuko：　知らないそんなこと
まったく　ワガママなんだから・・・
ごめん・・・ごめんね・・・あたし・・・！
自分ばっかり楽しくて・・・あなたのこと全然考えてなかった
心細かったよね・・・ごめんね・・・！
ねえ・・・！　聞こえてるでしょ？　もういい！
あたし１２時間もお休みいらない！
あたしたちの身体・・・元に戻して！
I didn't know anything!
I've been so selfish...
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I...
Only I've been enjoying myself...I didn't consider you at all.
I was so discouraged...I'm sorry!
Hey, can you hear me? I've had enough!
I don't need 12 hours off.
Return us to our original bodies!

Hades-sensei：　・・・病魔は君の苦しみを何よりの餌として存在している
君が病魔と何を約束したのか知らないが・・・
無駄だ・・・おそらくその願いは・・・
Above all, your pain exists as bait for the disease demon.
I don't know what kind of deal you made with it but...
Your wish is probably impossible.


Page 17
Disease demon：　その通り・・・
１２時間・・・ふふふ・・・
種明かしが少々早まったようだが・・・
はじめから元の姿に戻してやる気など無かったさ
「普通の女の子」になりたかったのだろう・・・？
That's right...
12 hours...fufufu...
It seems I'll be giving away my secret a little ahead of time...
I was never going to give you your original form from the beginning.
You wanted to "be a normal girl", right?

Atsuko：　そ・・・
んな・・・！
No...
Way...!

Disease demon：　良かったじゃないか・・・ふふふ・・・アハハハ
Aren't you glad...? Fufufu...ahahaha.

Atsuko：　そんなーっ！
なにそれカンペキサギじゃないの！
訴えるわよ！　うちの事務所超怖いんだから
ちょっとあんたもなんとか言ってよ　ブルマーッ！
No way!
Whaｔ! You're a complete fraud!
I'm going to take you to court! Their office is super scary!
You say something! Bluema!

Manager：　な・・・
きっ君　何で僕のアダ名を知ってるんだ！
Wha...
You...how do you know my nickname?

Note：　青山　＝　ブルーマウンテン　＝　ブルマ
Aoyama = Blue Mountain = Bluema
[T/N: The kanji in Aoyama's name literally means "blue mountain".]

Hades-sensei：　まあ・・・それは・・・
こちらとしても同じことだがな
おまえがどういうつもりだろうと関係ない
はじめからな・・・
Well...
Even if that were the same thing...
I don't really care what kind of plans you had...
From the beginning...


Page 18
Hades-sensei：　咀嚼完了・・・と・・・
Assimilation complete...

Atsuko：　え・・・
Ehhh...

Hanamaki：　こ・・・これでもう・・・大丈夫・・・のはず・・・です
元に戻れます・・・私たち・・・！
E...everything should be okay now...
Let's go back to normal...!

Atsuko：　す・・・
すっご～い・・・
も・・・戻ったあ～！
A...
Amazing...
I'm baaack!

Lady：　AKY今度はハリウッド映画でもやるんですか・・・？
Is AKY doing a movie this time or something...?

Manager：　悪い夢だな・・・
It's like a bad dream...


Page 19
Cellphone： ってよ～　あの鬼マネージャーが奇跡的にちょ～優しく？って、あたしの話ちゃんと聞いてくれるようになったんだよ～！　お仕事も減らしてもらえることになったし花マッキーのおかげかも　　ところで学校はあたしのせいで変な事になってない？　色々迷惑かけて本当にゴメン
That evil manager was super kind and actually listened to my side of the story! He's going to start decreasing my jobs and it's all thanks to you, Hanamaki! By the way, did anything weird happen because of me? I'm really sorry I caused you so much trouble.
[T/N: I couldn't read some of the characters because Hanamaki's head was in the way. So here's the gist of the e-mail.]

Fuji：　よお
Hey.

Hanamaki：　ひゃっ！
わ・・・！　ふ　　藤くん？　な・・・
なにかご用でしょうかっ・・・？
Hyaaa!
Wa...Fu...Fuji-kun? Wha...
What do you need?

Fuji：　やっぱ花巻はそっちの方が似合ってんな
そんだけじゃーな
That way really suits you better.
That's all.

Hanamaki：　え・・・？
あ・・・
あ・・・
あつこちゃんありがとう・・・！
Eh...
Ah...
A...
Atsuko-chan, thank you...!

Text box：　少し　苦労の報われた花巻だった
For just a little while, it was Hanamaki whose was paid back for all her troubles.
