Hokenshitsu no Shinigami 33

Oh, man, finally! This is what happens when I go back to school...

As always, reserved for Muda.

Niburu：　ちょっと経一どこ行くのよ　やめて
せっかく何事もなく終わったのに蒸し返さないでよ
Wait, Keiichi, where are you going? Stop.
Luckily, everything ended peacefully...so don't go bringing things up again.

Keiichi：　あ？　決まってんだろ　逸人（あいつ）ん所だよ
なんだお前まで揃いも揃って俺を仲間ハズレにしやがっ
おいやめろ　おっぱい押し付けんな
ふん・・・
あの腰抜け野郎・・・
この俺に顔見せずに帰るとは・・・
いい度胸してんじゃねーか
Ain't it obvious? Itsuhito's place.
What, even you? Does everyone want to stop being friends with me -
Hey, stop pressing your boobs on me.
Hmph.
That cowardly bastard.
To think he went home without seeing me...
He's got some fuckin' nerve...

Niburu：　経一！
Keiichi!

Keiichi：　心配すんな　夜頃には多分帰る！
あっ晩飯アレ使えよ卵！
あれ消費期限今日までだからな
Don't worry, I'll probably be home sometime tonight.
Ah, use those eggs for dinner!
'Cause they're only good until today.

Niburu：　夜・・・ね・・・
あいつ逸人がどこの学校に勤めてるか知ってんのかしら
変に関係こじらせてこなきゃいいけど・・・
Night, huh...
I wonder if he even knows which school Itsuhito works at?
I don't want him doing anything unwanted and worsening their relationship...

Tittle：　僕らと先生とあの人の気持ち
Our, Sensei's and That Person's Feelings

Text：　翌日
The next day

One of the kids：　失礼しまーす
Excuuuse us.

Mimasaka：　おっ！
Oh!


Page 3
Mimasaka：　先生！
なんだ　具合よさそーだな　安心したぜ
Sensei!
Wow, you look like you're feeling better. I'm super relieved.

Fuji：　このツラで具合良いってのも妙な話だな・・・
It's weird...you could say he's doing well just by looking at his face.

Hades-sensei：　やあ・・・今日も来てくれてありがとう
心配掛けたかな・・・ごめんね・・・
ん？
Ahh, thank you for coming by today.
So I worried everyone...I'm sorry...
Hmm?

Ashitaba：　えっ
あっ・・・いえ・・・
お　お元気そうで何よりです・・・
Eh?
Ah...no...
It's...it's good that you're feeling better...

Text：　僕は・・・まだ・・・
昨日あったこと・・・知ったことを・・・みんなに言ってない
そもそも言うべきなのかも　　よくわからない
みんなは・・・「先生に病魔を倒す力があるのは先生の中にいる病魔のおかげ」ってなんとなくは知ってる
でも・・・それは「おかげ」なんて可愛いものじゃなかった・・・先生は力と引き換えに今も「何か」を失ってるってことは多分みんな知らない
I...still...
Haven't told everyone...what happened yesterday...the fact that I found out about it...
Should I tell them in the first place? I don't know.
Somehow or another, everyone knows that "sensei's power to defeat disease demons is all thanks to the one he has inside of him".
They have a vague understanding of "it's all thanks to the disease demon inside of him that he can defeat them."
But..that's not something you can describe using "thanks"... no one probably knows right now that in exchange for his power, sensei lost part of "something".


Page 4
Text：　ハデス先生も僕たちにそのことを知られたくないみたいだった
それがなぜなのかはわからないけど・・・先生が自分の身体を犠牲にしてまで僕たちのことを守ってくれようとしているのは確かだ
でも・・・
それでいいのか・・・？
It seemed like Hades-sensei doesn't want us to know that.
I don't know why but...I'm sure sensei is going as far as sacrificing his own body trying to protect us.
But...
Is that okay...?

Ashitaba：　先生の気持ちはそりゃ尊重したいけど・・・
そうまでしてくれてる人のこと何も知らないままなんて・・・
僕は不本意だ・・・だからついて行った・・・！　みんなは・・・
どう・・・だろうか・・・
藤くん
右と左どっちがいい？
I really want to respect sensei's feeling but...
Keeping on knot knowing anything about someone who goes that far for me...
I can't accept that...that's why I went along with him! Everyone...
I wonder...if you feel the same way...?
Fuji-kun.
Choose one - left or right?

Fuji：　はぁ？　なんだよ　急に・・・
じゃあ左
Huh? What's that all of a sudden?
All right, left.

Ashitaba：　な・・・なんで？　なんで左なの？
Wh...why? Why left?

Ashitaba's hand：　教える
Tell them.

Fuji：　えっ　俺左利きだから・・・
ていうかなんでお前そんな必死なの？
Eh...it's because I'm left-handed...
Why are you so frantic?

Ashitaba：　や・・・やっぱりなんでもない！　忘れて！
No...nothing at all! Forget about it!

Mimasaka：　何やってんだ　アシタバは
What is Ashitaba doing?


Page 5
Kaburagi：　こんにちは！
おじゃましまーす
Good afternoon!
Pardon the intrusion!

Hades-sensei：　やあ・・・鏑木さんいらっしゃい
ちょうど良かった・・・今お茶を淹れたところだよ
すぐ君の分も・・・
Oh, Kaburagi-san, welcome.
You're right on time...I just made some tea.
I'll pour you some right now...

Kaburagi：　あっ
だったらもうひとり分お願いします
今そこで偶然お会いしたんですけど
先生にお客さんみたいでー・・・
Ah...
Then, could you pour one more?
I just happened to meet someone just now...
It seems like he's a guest of your's, sensei.

Hades-sensei：　なっ・・・
け・・・経一・・・
Wha...
Ke...Keiichi...


Page 6
Keiichi：　よがっだ～！
やっと見つかった・・・！
半日探したっつーの　クソ～！
千歳ちゃんも鈍ちゃんも何も教えてくれねーし・・・
お前は携帯持ってねーし・・・
金ねーし腹減ったしタバコ切れたし・・・
Thank God!
I finally found you!
I've been looking half the day...shit!
Neither Chitose-chan or Niburu-chan would tell me anything...
You don't have a cellphone...
I don't have any money, I'm hungry, I ran out of cigarettes...

Mimasaka：　な・・・
なんだ・・・あれ・・・
Wha...
What the hell...

Fuji：　さ・・・さあ・・・
生き別れた兄と感動の再会とか・・・じゃねーの・・・
So...so...
Is he like his brother, being deeply moved by their reunion after a life-long separation or something...?

Hades-sensei：　経一・・・経一！
なんでもいいからちょっと落ち着け
ほら　これ食べていいから
Keiichi...Keiichi...!
First off, just calm down a bit.
Look, you can eat these.

Ashitaba：　あれ・・・？　「経一」って・・・
Huh..."Keiichi"...?


Page 7
Hades-sensei：　なんだ　学校の先生のクセにこんなモン隠し持ってんのか
甘いモンはあんまり好きじゃねーんだけどな
・・・って・・・
違げェよ！　俺はこんなこと言いに来たんじゃねえ！
逸人！　お前がユグドラシルに何の用だ？
俺らはお前に２度と会わねー覚悟であの商売始めたんだぜ
What...even though you're a teacher, you keep stuff like this here?
Even though I really don't like sweets that much...
I mean...
No! I didn't come here to talk about stuff like that!
Itsuhito! What did you come to Yggdrasill for?
We started that business because we were all prepared to never see you again!

Mimasaka：　・・・なんか・・・喜怒哀楽の激しいヤツだな・・・
He's...kind of emotionally violent, isn't he...

Fuji：　鏑木　お前　一体　何連れて来たんだよ
Kaburagi, why the hell were you bringing him here?

Kaburagi：　えっ？　
だ・・・だってあの人・・・先生の友達だって言うから・・・
Eh?
But...but he...he said he was sensei's friend...

Ashitaba：　やっぱり・・・
I knew it...

Text：　あの人・・・昨日美容室にいなかった人だ・・・！
周りの人たちは先生とあの人を会わせたくなさそうにしてたけど・・・
どうして・・・
He...was the one who wasn't at the beauty parlor yesterday...!
Niburu-san and Mitogawa-sensei obviously didn't want these two seeing each other...
Why...

One of the kids：　友達？
Friends?

One of the kids：　先生に友達なんていたのか？
Sensei has friends?

Kaburagi：　な・・・ちょっと失礼じゃない　別におかしい話じゃないでしょ
Wha...isn't that a little rude? It's not weird for him to.

Hades-sensei：　鈍から何も聞いてないならそれまでだ
問題はもう解決したし
今更わざわざお前に言うことは何もないよ
If you didn't hear anything from Niburu, then that's all there is to it.
The problem has already been resolved.
I don't have anything to say to you now.


Page 8
Keiichi：　だからーなんで鈍ちゃんと同じと言うの？
お前らそんなに俺を仲間ハズレにしてーのか？
俺嫌われてる？
Why are you saying the same thing Niburu-chan did?
Do you all want to stop being friends with me that bad?
Do you all hate me?

Hades-sensei：　お前に言うと話がややこしくなるからだよ
Because ifi we'd told you, it would have complicated things.

Ashitaba：　あ・・・なんだ・・・
めんどくさいからか・・・
Ah...so that's why...
It's because he's kind of annoying...

Kaburagi：　・・・なんか友達って割りには険悪そうなのね
You know, even though they're friends, they don't seem to be on good terms...

Mimasaka：　確かに
普段なら「友達が会いに来た」なんて涙流して喜びそうなモンだよなー・・・
ワケありってことか・・・？
よー先生　せっかく会いに来てくれてんのにちょっと冷てーんじゃねーの？
兄ちゃんここ座れよ！
That's true.
Usually, Hades-sensei would be all happy and crying, "My friend came to see me!"
Is there some kind of reason or something...?
Hey, sensei, even though he came all this way to see you, don't you think you're being just a little mean to him?
Onii-chan, have a seat here!

Hades-sensei：　えっ
Eh?

Keiichi：　おっ？
なんだなんだ　可愛いガキは嫌いじゃねーぜ
俺は伊賦夜経一！
その深海魚ヅラした男の昔の連れだ！　よろしくなー
Ohhh?
What's this, what's this? I don't mind cute little brats.
I'm Ibuya Keiichi!
I used to hang around this guy who looks like a deep-sea fish. Nice to meet ya!

Mimasaka：　おせーよ　自己紹介が
It's a little late for self-introductions.

Kaburagi：　むっ・・・昔の・・・？
U...used to...?

Keiichi：　なんだ　嬢ちゃん食いつきいいねえ
センセーの恥ずかしい昔話聞きたいか？
中坊の頃だからな～
それこそ・・・
こいつがこんな身体になる前の話だ
What? Is the little girl interested?
Want to hear some embarrassing old stories about your sensei?
From when he was a middle school student?
Ones...
From before his body became like this.

Hades-sensei：　経一！
Keiichi!


Page 9
Hades-sensei：　お前　本当に何しに来たんだ
余計なことを言うつもりならもう帰れ
What did you really come here for?
If you're plan on saying too much, then go home already.

Keiichi：　余計？
なんだよ　思い出話が余計か？
目の色変わったぜ
さては・・・お前・・・
てめェの腹食い破ってる病魔のこと
あいつらに教えてないのか・・・？　なんでだ？
Too much?
What? Reminiscing is saying too much?
Your eye color changed.
So...
You haven't told them
About that eating and tearing disease demon in your stomach? Why?

Kaburagi：　またモメてる
なんか　ちょっと先生の意外な一面を見た感じかも・・・
They're arguing again.
It feels kind of like we've seen an unexpected side of sensei...

Fuji：　ごっそさん
I'm done.

Mimasaka：　オマエは本当にマイペースだな
You really do things at your own pace, don't you.

Hades-sensei：　・・・少しは皆感づいてるだろうが全容を教える必要なんてない
They all know just a little bit of it, I don't think it's necessary to tell them the whole story.

Keiichi：　どうだか
全部知られた時あいつらが自分から離れていくかもしれねーのが怖いんじゃねーのか
俺たちみたいにな
Is that how it is?
You afraid that when they know everything, they'd part ways with you?
That they're like us?

Hades-sensei：　・・・違う
出来ることなら・・・誰にも僕のことなんか心配して欲しくない
させたくない！
お前にもだ
だから昨日のことは言わなかった
That's not it.
If I could...I'd like it if no one worried about me.
I don't want to make anyone do that!
Even you.
That's why I didn't tell you about yesterday.


Page 10
Fuji：　なっ・・
Wha...

Kaburagi：　せっ・・・
Se...

Ashitaba and Mimasaka：　うわぁぁぁ　先生ーっ！
Uwaaah! Sensei!

Keiichi：　・・・俺は・・・
お前のそういうところが気に入らないからここへ来たんだ
I...
Came here cause I don't like your attitude.

Mimasaka：　何すんだよ！　見た目に反してイイ奴かと思いきや・・・
やっぱ見た目通りじゃねーか！
What did you do that for!
Even though I thought you were a good guy despite how you look -
You really are like your apperance!

Fuji：　しかし最近ロクな目に遭わないな　先生は・・・
Nothing good has happened to sensei lately...


Page 11
Keiichi：　うるせーぞ　クソガキ共！　それよりそいつ連れてすぐ探しに行くぞ
もう慣れたモンじゃねーのか？
Shut up, you fuckin' brats! More importantly, take him and let's go look for it.
Don't you already have some experience with them?

Mimasaka：　はぁ？
Huh?

Keiichi：　「病魔」だよ
右（こっち）だな
A disease demon!
This way, to the right.

Mimasaka：　コンパスか何かじゃねーんだから
He isn't a compass or anything.

Keiichi：　そうでもしねーと探せねーだろうが
こちとら健全な人間なモンでね
ちょっどいい　うるせーのがトンでる間に
お兄さんがタメになる話してやろう
お前ら・・・病魔がどこから生まれてくるのか知ってるか？
If we don't do it like this, we can't find it.
Cause we're healthy people.
Now's a good time, while this guy is passed out.
Onii-san is going to tell you something you should know.
Do you know where disease demons come from?


Page 12
Keiichi：　だいたいわかってると思うが病魔を生み出すのはやっぱり人間なんだよ
みんな何気なく感じてるストレスや不満や悪意・・・
目には見えなくてもそれは確かにその世界に渦巻いて沈殿していく
落ち込んでるヤツとか怒ってるヤツとかと同じ空間にいると
何か妙に居心地が悪かったりするだろ？
それが病魔の気配・・・瘴気だ
病魔に罹る寸前の人間はその蔓延してる瘴気にアテられ易い
ウイルスみたいなモンだ
身体の免疫力が低下するとカゼ引きやすいのと同じさ
こん中で病魔に罹った奴どれくらいいいる
I think you already know this, that humans are indeed the ones who create disease demons.
Everyone feels stuff like stress, displeasure and spite without meaning to...
Even if you can't see them, these feelings swirl around and settle in the human world.
When you're in the same space as people who people who feel sad or people who feel angry
Somehow, you feel uncomfortable, don't you?
That's the presence of a disease demon...its miasma.
People on the verge of being caught by a disease demon are easily affected by the miasma that spreads around.
It's like a virus.
It's the same as when your body's immunity capabilities decline and you easily catch a cold.
About how many of you here have been caught by one?

Fuji：　こいつ以外全員
Except for him, all of us.

Keiichi：　そうか
それじゃあ・・・病魔が自分の中いる時に
ちょっとでも自分の思った通りに能力を使えた奴いるか？
Really?
Then...while the disease demon was in you
Could any of you manipulate them?


Page 13
Kaburagi：　いや・・・
っていうかその時は病魔なんてものが存在すること自体知らなかったから・・・
「使う」なんて発想がまずなかったです
No...
Or rather, I didn't know about the existence of disease demons at the time...
I never thought about "manipulating" them in the first place...

Fuji：　俺は知ってたけど
使うどころか意識なかったし覚えてもなかった
先生の身体の中に病魔を食う病魔が入ってんのは知ってるな
I knew of them but
Forget "manipulating" it, I wasn't even conscious. I don't even remember any of it.
I do know that there's a disease demon inside of him that eats the other ones.

Mimasaka：　結局　何が言いてーんだよ
So what are you getting at?

Keiichi： お前ら全員がことごとく振り回された病魔の能力
じゃあこいつが
何年もの間その能力を使いこなせてるのはなんでだと思う？
All of you have been used by a disease demon's power.
So, this guy
How do you think he's been using this power for all these years?

Kaburagi：　それは・・・確かに・・・
That's...certainly...

Mimasaka：　考えたことなかったぜ
I've never thought about it.

Fuji：　おっさん　もったいぶってねーでさっさと教えろよ
Ossan, stop being so full of yourself. Just hurry up and tell us.

Keiichi：　おい茶髪のガキ口悪ーぞさっきから！
どういう家庭で育ってきたんだ　ったくよ～
病魔にてめぇの言う事聞かせるには
てめえも病魔の言う事聞かなきゃならねえ
「意志を持って願望を病魔と同調させること」
これが病魔の能力を使いこなすための条件だ
そして・・・
Hey, kid with dyed brown hair, you've been acting sarcastic for a while now!
Just what kind of a house were you raised in! Jeez...
When you make a disease demon listen to you...
You also have to listen to it.
"Synchronizing your desires with the disease demon's."
This is the requirement for using its abilities.
And...


Page 14
Keiichi：　自分の精神（こころ）と肉体（からだ）を病魔のエサ場として差し出す代わりに病魔の力を手に入れた人間のことを
俺たちは「罹人」と呼んでいる
お前らの先生はそれだ！
ムカついて仕方ねえ・・・
こいつは・・・自分さえ良ければ俺達の気持ちなんざどうだっていいんだ
Instead of holding your mind and body as feeding grounds, you obtain the disease demon's powers.
We call them "kakarito".
That's what your sensei is!
You can't help but feel angry...
This guy...he doesn't give a damn about our feelings so long as he himself is okay.

Mimasaka：　あっ
Ah!

Keiichi：　おら　起きろ　逸人！
Hey, wake up, Itsuhito!

Mimasaka：　おい　よけい寝ちまうだろ　それじゃ
Hey, you're gonna make him fall into an even deeper sleep.

Keiichi：　見てろ！
お前の能力なんざ無くなってなあ　病魔を退けることくらいできるんだよ！
Look!
Even without your ability, we can defeat disease demons!

Fuji：　な・・・
なんなんだ・・・あいつ・・・
Wha...
What was up with him?

Kaburagi：　ねえ・・・今の話本当かもしれない・・・
わ・・・私　昔も似たようなこと聞いた気が・・・
You know...what he said is probably true...
I have a feeling like I've heard something that sounded like that a while back...

Ashitaba：　結局・・・ば・・・バレた・・・
In...in the end, they found out...


Page 15
Person： 　おい何　突然キレてんだよ！
Hey, what? He just snapped all of a sudden!

Person：　ねェ　ヤバイこれ！　誰が・・・
Hey, that's dangerous! Someone...

Disease demon：　うう・・・
ぐぅうう・・・
なんでもいい・・・壊・・・
壊させろおおおおおお
ああ・・・？
なんだああ　テメーはああああ
邪魔アアすんじゃねぇえええ
Uuh...
Guuh...
It doesn't matter what...let me
Let me destroy iiiiiiit!
Huh?
Whaaaat? You baaaastard.
You're in my waaaaay...

Keiichi：　おいおい・・・そんな簡単に顔出してくれるなよ
お前・・・自分に天敵がいることとか
考えたことねーのか？
Hey, hey...don't show yourself to me that easily.
Did you consider that
Your natural enemy might be here?


Page 16
Keiichi：　ん？
Hmm?

Ashitaba：　あ
まさか・・・
Ah...
No way...

Keiichi：　なっ・・・
あーっ！
Wha...
Ahhhhhh!

Disease demon：　ほ・・・本当に何なんだテメー・・・
Wha...what are you doing, really?

Keiichi：　神出銃（サンプリングガン）忘れたァ！
I forgot the sampling gun!

Hades-sensei：　どけ！
Move!

Keiichi：　いっ・・・
逸人ぉ～っ・・・！
Iii...
Itsuhitoooo...!


Page 17
Keiichi：　く・・・！
・・・ちっ
くしょおお　信じらんねぇ！
お前に借り作っちまうとは・・・
Shi...!
God...
Damn it! I can't fuckin' believe this!
To think you made me owe you...

Hades-sensei：　・・・こっちも昨日の借りをどうやって返そうか困っていたところだ
これで返済だな・・・
I had been worried about how to return yesterday's debt.
Consider this repayment.

Kaburagi：　先生！
Sensei!

Keiichi：　いいのか・・・？
ガキ共お前らそれでいいのか？
こんな力に守られて悔しくねーのか？
こいつは・・・自分の身体粗末にする最低の奴だぞ！
Is that okay?
Brats, is that okay with you?
Doesn't it bother you to be protected by that kind of power?
He's the kind of disgusting person who treats his body horribly!


Page 18
Fuji：　わかってるよ
いや・・・まぁ　細かい事情は知らなかったけど・・・
先生がそんなアホな奴なことくらい見てりゃわかる
I understand.
No, well...I didn't get all the minor details but...
Just by spending time with him, you can tell he's an idiot.

Mimasaka：　オマエは気にしなさすぎだと思うが・・・まあいいか
今回に限っては
I don't think you care enough about him...but it's okay.
Just this time.

Kaburagi：　あなたの気持ちもわかりますけど
先生のこと最低なんて誰にも言わせないんですからね！
I understand how you feel but...
But that wouldn't make anyone call him "disgusting"!

Fuji：　俺なんか特にそうだけど
先生がその「力」で命がけで助けてくれなきゃ死んでたかもしれない
らしい
んな癖してやり方が気に食わないなんて言わねーよ
I especially think so.
If sensei hadn't saved me with that "power", I would probably be dead.
It seems.
After all of that, how could I complain about the way he does things?

Mimasaka：　とはいえ死ぬのはダメだけどな！
That said, you can't die!

Hades-sensei：　わがままだね・・・
How selfish..

Kaburagi：　わがままです！
It is selfish!

Hades-sensei：　わかってるよ・・・大丈夫
I understand...it's fine.

Ashitaba：　うっ・・・
Uhh...

Hades-sensei：　あ・・・
A...


Page 19
Hades-sensei：　アシタバくん・・・？
Ashitaba-kun...?

Ashitaba：　よ・・・よかった・・・僕・・・！
みんながこの話聞いて僕と同じ気持ちになっちゃったらどうしようって
ず・・ずっと考えてて・・・
I'm...I'm so glad...!
I'm...I'm always thinking...what should I do if everyone started to feel the same way I do
After you knew all of this...

Fuji：　同じ気持ちって・・・
The same way...?

Ashitaba：　僕　先生が死ぬことばっかり考えてた・・・
All I can think about is sensei dying...

Hades-sensei：　えっ・・・
Eh...

Mimasaka：　コイツは気にしすぎみたいだな・・・
藤とツメのアカ交換したらどうだ？
I think you worry too much.
You and Fuji should take a page out of each others' books.

Keiichi：　ちッ
子供は考えが浅くていけねえ・・・
Che.
It's bad what kids' think is shallow...

Hades-sensei：　経一
Keiichi...

Keiichi：　ふん・・・エラそうなこと言ったがよ
ぶっちゃけ今具体的にお前にしてやる事は何もねえんだよ
ガキ取り込むのも失敗したし・・・ムカつくけど今日のところは帰ってやる
覚えてろよ！　あと携帯買え！
Hmm...I may have said a bunch of self-important stuff...
But to put it bluntly, I don't have any definite ideas about solving your problem.
I failed in getting the kids' on my side...
Don't forget this! And buy a cellphone!

Hades-sensei：　昇降口はこっちだ
The entrance is this way.

Keiichi：　う・・・
Uh -

Mitogawa：　やれやれ・・・
My goodness...

Text：　その夜
That night

Keiichi：　鈍ちゃ～ん・・・迎えに来て～・・・
ガソリン尽きた・・・金ない・・・寒い・・・
Niburu-chan...come pick me up...
I'm out of gas...I don't have any money...it's cold...

Niburu：　イヤよ　私今お風呂入ってるんだもの
なんとか自力で帰ってらっしゃい
Oh, no, I'm in the tub right now.
You're going to have to come home by yourself somehow or another.

Keiichi：　そんな・・・くそ・・・なんでみんな俺に冷たいんだ・・・
No way...damn it, why is everyone so mean to me...
