Keiichi：　駅前中通りの占い屋？
なんだよ　そこなら通ったぜ
逸人んトコのガキ共にも会ったし
The fortunte-teller's shop on the street in front of station?
What about it? I passed through there.
I even saw the kids from Itsuhito's place.

Niburu：　あの辺りは常伏中学校の通学路じゃあ～ないはずよ・・・
占い屋はずいぶん話題になってたし・・・
その子たちが利用してる可能性・・・あるわね・・・
That area isn't supposed to be in Tokofushi Middle School's school zone.
People were talking about the fortune-teller's shop a lot as well...
It's possible that...those kids were going there.

Keiichi：　でも鈍ちゃんもそこ行ったけど一応なんともないんだろ？
But you went there too and said at the time there wasn't anything wrong.

Niburu：　一応ね～
でも・・・「一応」よ
罹人は
罹人だけはわたし達の力じゃあどうにもできない
逸人（あいつ）に頼るしかない・・・！　逸人（あいつ）も間違いなく今回の件で動いてる
あんた・・・経一は
どうしたい・・・？
At the time...
But..."at the time."
A kakarito...
We just can't do anything about a kakarito with our powers.
We've got no choice but to depend on Itsuhito...! Without a doubt, this matter has gotten Itsuhito moving as well.
You...Keiichi...
What do you want to do?

Keiichi：　そんなもん
決まってる
Something like that...
It's obvious.

Title：　救出
Rescue

Fortune-teller：　確かに探りを入れようとした奴を捕らえて来いとは言ったが・・・
学生・・・それとも集団・・・親や警察が動くのも早いだろう
長い監禁はできない・・・
面倒だな・・・
おまけに・・・
随分目立つ「輸送」をしてくれたようだな・・・
操　お前は本当に頭の悪い子だね
お父さんを悲しませて楽しいかい？
そうだろう？
これ以上お父さんをがっかりさせないでくれるね？
While I certainly did tell you to catch and bring back anyone who tried to snoop around...
Students...and a group of them...their parents and the police are going to be moving soon.
I can't confine them very long...
What a pain...
And on top of that...
It seems you "transported" them very conspicuously...
Misao. You really are a very stupid child.
Do you enjoy making your father sad?
No?
You don't disappoint your father anymore?


Page 4
Fortune-teller：　・・・まあ　捕らえたからには利用させてもらおうか
見知らぬ他人というのは勝手がいい
捨てるも殺すも惜しくない・・・
ん・・・？
この学生は見覚えがないな・・・
操　お前はここで残りの連中を見張ってろ
妙な真似をするようなら手荒なことをしてもいい
お父さんは隣の部屋にいるからね
Well, now that you're captured them, why don't we put them to use?
Strangers I'm unacquainted with are convenient...
I wouldn't regret abandoning them or killing them...
Hmm?
I don't remember this student...
Misao. Watch over the rest of them here.
If they try anything funny, it's fine if you get rough with them.
Otou-san will be in the next room.

Ashitaba：　誰か・・・連れてかれた・・・？
いや・・・そもそも何だこれ・・・？　どうしてこんな状況に・・・
落ち着け・・・思い出せ・・・落ち着け・・・！
Someone...brought us here...?
No...first off, what's going on? How it'd turn out like this...
Calm down...remember...calm down...!

Fuji：　うわっ
シュミ悪りー部屋
Uwah!
This room is so tacky.

Kaburagi：　こういうの一体ことで買ってくるんだろうね～
Where on earth did they buy this stuff?

Fuji：　ネット通販だろ
見ろよ　ミエドインジャパン
Off the Internet, probably.
Look. "Made in Japan."

Ashitaba：　だ　ダメだよ　勝手にー・・・
No...no, don't just go -


Page 6
One of the kids：　・・・え・・・
Ehh...

Ashitaba：　そ・・・そうだ・・・確かにみんなで占いの店に行って・・・
なんでかよくわからないけど小っちゃい子に襲われたんだ！
それで・・・気絶して・・・その間にここまで運ばれた・・・のかな　　で・・・でも　なんで・・・？
後ろに誰か立ってる・・・
さっき会話してたのは大人と子供の２人・・・今残ってるのは子供の方？
それにあの大人の方・・・なんかめちゃくちゃ物騒なこと言ってなかったか？
僕たちを誘拐して身代金せしめようって感じじゃあなかった・・・！
Tha...that's right...we all went into the fortune-teller's shop...
I don't really understand why but we were attacked by a small kid!
And we passed out...during that time, we were carried all the way here...I think...b...but...why?
There's someone standing behind us...
The ones talking just now were the kid and an adult...the kid is the one that stayed here?
Moreover, that adult...wasn't that some pretty disturbing things he was saying?
It didn't seem like they captured us to try to get ransom money...


Page 7
Ashitaba：　連れて行かれたのは多分藤くんだ！
みんな本当に気絶してるの・・・！　起きてるの　僕だけなのかな・・・
気絶したフリは続けといた方がいいかな・・・？　起きたら何されるわからないだけど・・・
「覚えがない」ってのが「あの店に来たことがない」ってことだったらきっと大人の方はあの占い師・・・
考えろ・・・考えろ・・・
どうしよう！　どうしたらいい？　一晩も経てばさすがに親とかが不審がるだろうけど
そんな悠長なことしてていいのかな・・・藤くんなんて連れて行かれちゃってるのに・・・！
どうしよう・・・どうすれば・・・
と・・・とにかく・・・そうだ・・・助けを・・・！
外にこのことを知らせないとどーしようもない！
窓・・・
・・・美作くんのポケットのふくらみ・・・
あれは・・・
The person they took was probably Fuji-kun!
Is everyone is really knocked out...I wonder if I the only one who's awake?
If "I don't remember" means "he didn't come to the shop", then that adult just now was that fortune-teller...
Think...think...
What should I do? What should I do? If one night has passed, then I expect our parents and everyone are getting suspicious but...
Is it okay if I just take things this easy...even though they've taken Fuji-kun...!
What should I do? How can I...
Any...anyway...that's right...get help...
If I don't let anyone outside know, it'll be hopeless!
A window...
That bulge in Mimasaka-kun's pocket...
That's...

Cellphone： 発信中
美作くん
Sending
Mimasaka-kun

Ashitaba：　あの子の注意が美作くんのケータイに向けば・・・！
僕がこーやって何かしててもあの子の視界には入らないし　気付かれない！
それに・・・ケータイ見つけたんだ・・・
こいつらにとって決して都合のいいものじゃない！　その瞬間を利用して・・・
シャッター音を・・・
If I can get the kid's attention on Mimasaka-kun's cellphone...!
That way, if I do something, I won't be in the kid's field of vision and I won't be noticed...!
Besides...they found the phone...
This won't convenient for them at all! I'll use that moment -
The sound of the shutter...


Page 9
Ashitaba： 隠せばっ・・・
撮ったあああ
撮れた・・・！　バレてもない！　多分・・・！
これでこの場所を外に知らせることができる！　こっそりメール送るくらいなら音も出ないし・・・
んっ・・・？
If I can hide it...
Got it!
I took it! I wasn't even found out! Probably...
I can send my location to someone with this! I can at least this text secretly without making a sound...
Hmm?


Page 10
Ashitaba：　あれ・・・？　しまった！　
誰に送ったらいいんだこれ？
警察？　いや警察のメアドってなんだ・・・？
親は・・・？　こんな写真だけ送って気付いてもらえるかな・・・万が一気付いても折り返し連絡されたらこっちがやばい・・・！
ハデス先生・・・
ダメだ先生　ケータイ持ってないし・・・
三途川先生も連絡知らないよ～！　どうしよう？
誰か・・・誰か他に頼りになる大人の人は・・・
Huh...? Crap!
Who should I send it to?
The police? No...what's the police's number...?
My parents...? If I just sent a picture like this, would they notice? Even if by some miracle they do notice, if they try to contact me back, it would be bad...!
Hades-sensei...
That's no good, he doesn't have a cellphone...
I don't even know how to get in touch with Mitogawa-sensei! What am I going to do?
Isn't...isn't there any other adult that I can rely on...?

Fortune-teller：　操！
今しがた携帯電話がならなかった？
この部屋からだろう
・・・で壊したのか
Misao!
Was that the sound of cellphone a moment ago?
It was from this room.
So...you broke it.


Page 11
Fortune-teller：　念のため他の学生も調べて見つけたらお父さんに言いなさい
まあ　関係ないかもしれないね・・・
Just to be sure, check the other students and if you find anything, tell Otou-san.
Well, it probably doesn't matter though...

Cellphone：　発信中
Sending...

Hades-sensei： 手がかりが残されているとしたらやはりもう一度あの店に行くべきかと思います
If we assume that they've left behind clues, I think I should really go to that shop once again.

Mitogawa：　妥当だが
A valid idea but


Page 12
Mitogawa：　策もなく行くのは間抜けのすることだぞ
その男・・・君に恐れをなして逃げたのならそう問題ではないが
まだ君の力を狙って罠を張っている可能性だって充分有り得る
こっちが捜索のため　あの店に再来することは想像に難くないからな
Going without a plan would be stupid.
That man...it wouldn't be a problem if he had been scared of you and ran away.
But it's very possible that he's still aiming for your power and setting up a trap.
It's easy to imagine us returning to that shop for investigative purposes.

Hades-sensei：　２度も油断はしませんよ
I won't be unprepared again.

Mitogawa：　子供がいたんだろう
君
子供相手に本気で戦えるのか？
There was a child there.
Could
You really fight against a child?

Someone：　ダメだよ　いないっぽいよ　お店の人
It's no good. It looks like he's not here, the shop guy.

Someone：　えー　せっかく来たのに～
Ehh...even after we came all this way...

Hades-sensei： あの子供は十中八九占い師の男に何らかの洗脳をされている　（他に仲間がいる可能性もなくはないけど）
何にせよ　僕が叩くのは病魔だけだ　何のためらいも要らない
In all likelihood, that child is probably being brainwashed somehow by that fortune-teller man. (There's also the possibility that he has other accomplices.)
At any rate, I'm only going to defeat the disease demon. I don't have any need for hesitation.


Page 13
Hades-sensei：　な・・・
どうしてこれが・・・
ここに・・・
Wha...
Why is this...
Here...


Page 14
Hades-sensei：　先生
Sensei.

Mitogawa：　少々
まずいことになった・・・
ここに写っているのは常伏デパートだ
その隣のビル群の並びと写真の距離感から考えると・・・
地図上にしておそらくここだろうな
Things have gotten
Rather bad...
The place being photographed here is the Tokofushi department store.
If you consider the photo's sense of distance and the line of those buildings next door...
It's probably this spot on the map.


Page 15
Mitogawa：　根多切区枕長３丁目
おおっ
飛ばすねえ
必死だな
Netakiri district, Makurachou, third block.
Ohhh.
You're really stepping on it.
Frantic, huh...

Hades-sensei：　当たり前でしょう・・・
・・・生徒の持ち物に携帯電話がありましたが・・・
Of course.
There was a cellphone in the student's belongings.

Mitogawa：　いやあ　これはやめておいた方がいいだろうな
アシタバくんが電話ではなくメールを送っている状況からして・・・監視のもと隙をみてやっている可能性が高い
下手をすると逆に危険に晒してしまうかもしれん
No, you should stop thinking like that now.
For starters, considering how Ashitaba-kun sent a text without having a cellphone instead of calling...there's a high possibility that he's secretly doing this while under surveillance.
At worst, it might even put them in danger instead.

Hades-sensei：　そう・・・ですか　　そうですね
それにしても先生がアシタバくんと連絡先を交換していて助かりました
Is that...so. All right.
At any rate, it helps that you exchanged contact information with Ashitaba-kun.

Mitogawa：　ん？
Hmm?


Page 16
Mitogawa：　いや・・・残念ながらこれは私の手柄ではない
もしかしたら先を越されているかもしれんぞ
No...unfortunately, this isn't something I can take credit for.
Perhaps someone has already beaten us there.

Ashitaba：　ぐぶっ・・・
Gubuh...

Fortune-teller：　操
もうそろそろいいぞ
もう終わった
あとは君だけです・・・明日葉郁くん
なめた真似をしてくれたようだがこれが終われば関係ない
もう君たちは用済みだ・・・
Misao.
That's about enough.
It's over now.
And it's just you...Ashitaba Iku-kun.
It seems like you tried to pull something but after this is over, it won't matter.
I'm already finished with you.


Page 17
Ashitaba：　おわっ・・・
た・・・？
用・・・済みって・・・
みんなは・・・
It's...
Over...?
Finished...with us...?
Everyone...

Fortune-teller：　言葉通りもう用が済んだので
始末する予定です
だが・・・勇気ある 君の手柄次第では生かしておいてやらないでもない
私の話をよーく聞くことだ
私ぁ　ある学校の先生を探していてね
白髪で大柄の不気味な男だ　君は学生だし　私より探すあてはあるだろう
夜になるまでにその男をおびき寄せることができたら・・・
君と友達４人は見逃してやってもいい
携帯は返そう
時間はないぞ・・・必死でやれ
Just like I said, because I'm already I'm done with you
I plan to get rid of you.
But...you're brave. Depending on how well you do, I could let them live...
Listen to me very closely.
I've been looking for a certain school teacher.
A strange man with white hair and a large build. You're a student so you can search for him more so than me.
If you can lure him in before nightfall...
I could overlook you and your four friends.
I'll give you your phone back.
You don't have any time. Do it like your life depends on it.

Ashitaba：　・・・だ
・・・もう・・・
もう呼んだ
..lled.
I already...
I already called...


Page 18
Keiichi：　どうしたいかなんて聞かれるまでもねえ
逸人に世話んなろうが借り作ろうが・・・ムカつく奴は
You don't even need to ask what I want to do.
Whether I'll owe Itsuhito one or it'll make a debt...bastards that piss me off...


Page 19
Keiichi：　ぶっ飛ばす
I'll beat the shit out of.

Ashitaba：　ハデス先生っ！
Hades-sensei!

Fortune-teller：　これは　　これは・・・
Well, well...
