Thanks to umeboshi110 for the help and reserved for Muda Scans. Also, sorry for all the translator notes - when scanlating this, if you want to group them all into one big note, that's fine.

Text：　常伏中学校は夏休みー・・・
学校が休みとはいえ部活などで来校する生徒も少なくないため
ハデス先生も張りきって学校に来ているのだが・・・
Tokofushi Middle School summer vacation.
Although school may be out, because there is a good number who come for club activities
Hades-sensei got excited and came to the school as well but...

Hades-sensei：　暇だなぁ・・・
いや・・・これは喜ばしいことなんだ　みんなが健やかに不活動にはげんでいるなによりの証・・・
もう一度出張に行ってこようかな・・・
さっき帰ってきたばっかりだけど
も　もしもし？
There's nothing to do...
No...this is something I'm happy about. It's proof that everyone is healthy and vigorously working hard at their activities.
I wonder if I could go on a business trip again...
But I just got back from one a little while ago...
He...hello?


Page 2
Mitogawa：　もしもし　逸人か？
通話ボタンと電源ボタンを間違えず押せるようになって何よりだ
実は君にお願いがあるんだが・・・
Hello, Itsuhito?
I'm glad you've gotten to where you can press it without mistaking the power button for the talk button.
The truth is, I have a favor to ask of you.

Hades-sensei：　僕にお願いとは・・・もしかして・・・
A favor to ask me...could it be...

Mitogawa：　そうだ　君しか頼めない
よく聞いてくれ
That's right. You're the only one I can ask.
Listen up.

Hades-sensei：　病魔か・・・！
A disease demon...!

Mitogawa：　根多切区の枕町商店街にある「マンドレーク」という生花店に取り急ぎ向かってくれ
「ハルナ」という人物が君を待っている
話はすでに通してあるからー・・・
Hurry to a flower shop called "Mandrake" in Netakiri ward's Makura town shopping district.
A person named "Haruna" is waiting for you.
I already let them know.

Hades-sensei：　わかりました
先生の名前を出せばよろしいですね？
I understand.
I just need to tell them your name, right?

Mitogawa：　うむ　話が早くて助かるよ
それが片付いたら７時までに学校に戻ってくれ
急げと言ったが・・・くれぐれも慎重にな
Yes, I'm glad you're quick to understand.
When you've finished that up, come back to the school at 7:00.
I said hurry but...please be careful.

Vice principal：　いやぁ　聞いたことがないなあ
「まんどれーく」という製菓店だろう？
枕町商店街は私もよく利用するがね
そんな菓子屋は見たこともないぞ！
No, I haven't heard of it.
A sweet shop called "Mandrake"?
[T/N: He mistakes it for "sweet shop" because it's pronounced the same as "flower shop." There's the joke that's in play for the rest of the chapter: everyone misunderstanding Mitogawa's original message about a "seika" shop because all the other things sound like it or has Mandrake in it or something.]
I go to Makura town shopping district a lot but
I haven't seen a sweet shop like that.

Hades-sensei：　地図にも電話帳にも載ってないんですよ
困ったな・・・
I can't find it on the map or in the telephone book.
I'm at a loss...

Vice principal：　もしや製菓店ではなく製靴店の間違いではないかね？
それなら「マンドリル」という店を知っているぞ
Maybe you're mistaking not for a sweet shop but a shoemaker's?
[T/N: Shoemaker in Japanese is also pronounced "seika."]
If that's the case, then I know of a shop called "Mandrill."

Hades-sensei：　そうか・・・僕の聞き間違いだったのかもしれませんね
ありがとうございます・・・！　行ってみます！
That's true...I probably did mishear.
Thank you so much. I'll go see!

Bird：　ハルナサンカワイイ！
ハルナサンスキー
Haruna-san is cute!
I like Haruna-san!

Hades-sensei：　い・・・
インコ・・・
A...
A parrot...

Old man：　わざわざよその区から見に来てくれる子がいるとはねえ
モテモテだねぇハルナさん
To think that you'd come all the way from another ward to see the parrot here.
You're popular, Haruna-san.

Bird：　ハルナサンツミツクリ
Haruna-san, you're cruel.

Sanzou：　ハデス先生！
どうされたんですか？　道の真ん中で・・・
具合が優れないのでは・・・
Hades-sensei!
What are you doing in the middle of the road...?
Are you not feeling well -

Hades-sensei：　えっと・・・あなたは・・・
Um...you're...

Sanzou：　あっ
すみません 私　藤麓介の兄の山蔵です
Ah...
I'm sorry. I'm Fuji Rokusuke's brother, Sanzou.

Hades-sensei：　ええっ？
Ehhhh!

Sanzou：　ごぶさたしております・・・
It's been a long while.

Hades-sensei：　ご・・・ごめんね・・・三蔵君だったのか・・・
意外な洋服だね・・・
I...I'm sorry...so you were Sanzou-kun...
I didn't think you'd wear clothes like that...

Sanzou：　また日頃より　弟が保健室に入り浸るなどして先生にご迷惑をかけているかと思いますと　私ども大変頭の下がる思いでございます　もしご夕飯のご予定などないようでしたら　是非当家へご招待させていただきたく・・・
I believe that my younger brother is always causing trouble by hanging around the infirmary...I have the utmost respect for you. If it seems that you don't have any plans for dinner, then I would very much like to invite you to our home.

Text：　深々
Very deep

Hades-sensei：　あ・・・いや　それが急いでるんだ
Ah, well, I'm in a hurry...


Page 6
Sanzou：　なるほど・・・そういうことでしたか
それはもしかしたら７丁目の青果店「満点ドリアン」のことではないでしょうか
以前その店から果物を仕入れたことがあるのですが・・・
その時の担当者がハルナという女性だった気がします
少々道が複雑な所にありますから
よろしければご案内させて下さい
I see...so it was something like that...
Perhaps it's the "manten durian" at the 7th district fruit and vegetable shop?
[T/N: Confusing "Mandrake" for "manten."]
I've gotten fruit at that shop before...
I have a feeling the person who had been in charge that time was a woman named Haruna.
The road is kind of in a complex area so
If you'd like, I can show you the way there.

Hades-sensei：　本当かい？　助かるよ
Really? That'll help me out.

Sanzou：　とんでもございません　先生から受けたご恩に比べればこれしきのことなど露にも等しい問題でございます　　むしろ藤の人間としてこの程度のことしかご恩返しできず非常におもはゆく・・・
Not at all. It cannot even be compared to the kindness I've received from you. Rather, as a Fuji, I am too ashamed that this much is all I can do to return the favor...

Hades-sensei：　あ　あの　ごめん　ちょっと急いでもらえるかな？
I'm sorry, could we hurry just a bit?

Girl：　イヤよー！　離して！　
もう死んでやるんだからぁ！
No! Let go!
I'm going to die already.


Page 7
Sanzou：　何やら不穏な空気ですね・・・
先生少々お待ち下さい　私が様子を見て参ります
There seems to be something bad going on...
Sensei, hold on a moment. I'll go see what's happening.

Hades-sensei：　いや
ちょっと待って・・・！
No...
Wait a minute!

Girl：　やめて下さい　ハルナ先輩！　早まらないで！
Please stop, Haruna-senpai! Don't be rash!

Haruna：　もうダメ　私生きていけない
生きる希望を失ったわ～！
It's no good! I can't go on living!
I've lost the desire to live!

Hades-sensei：　「ハルナ」・・・？
なんてことだ・・・！　かなりまずい段階まで病魔に精神（心）を食われてしまっている
"Haruna"...?
What the...! Her heart's being eaten and it's at a very dangerous stage!

Sanzou：　先生！
Sensei...!

Hades-sensei：　くっ・・・
急がないと・・・！
Kuh...
I need to hurry!

Girl：　アイドルが結婚したくらいで何言ってんですか
先輩もういい歳なんだから現実を見つめてくださいよ
What are you saying, just because an idol married someone?
Senpai, act your age already and take a good look at reality.

Text：　アイドルグループ
Idol group

Haruna：　やだ～　小松菜くんは私と結婚するの～！
ドリアンに頭ぶつけて死んでやる～！
No! Komatsuna-kun is going to marry me!
I'm going to hit my head on this durian and die!


Page 8
Hades-sensei：　待っ・・・
Wai -

Haruna：　えっ？
あ・・・
Eh?
Ah...

Hades-sensei：　だめ・・・だよ・・・気を確かに・・・
君は・・・今・・・病・・・魔に・・・
ん？
あれ？　病魔の気配がない・・・
あの　三途川先生をご存知では・・・？
Don't...do it...get yourself together...
Right now...you're...captured by a disease demon -
Hmm?
Huh? There's isn't the hint of a disease demon...
Um, do you know Mitogawa-sensei...?

Sanzou：　先生！　
だ・・・大丈夫ですか？
相変わらず無茶をなさる方だ
あなたも自殺なんて馬鹿な真似はよして下さい！
悲しむ人がどれだけいると思っているんです！
Se...sensei!
Are...are you all right?
You do such crazy things as always.
And you, give up on doing something stupid like suicide!
How many people do you think there are who would grieve!

Haruna：　すみません・・・私が間違ってました・・・
これからはあなたのために生きていきます・・・
I'm sorry...I was mistaken...
From now on, I'm going to live for you...

Sanzou：　えっ？
あ・・・ああ・・・
Eh...
Ah...ahhh...


Page 9
Hades-sensei：　参ったな・・・人違いだったか
しかしまずいぞ　これで手がかかりがなくなってしまった
Damn, it was the wrong person.
But this is bad. Now I've run out of clues.

Sanzou：　あっ　せ　先生！
ちょっ・・・すみません　離・・・
Ah, se...sensei!
Wai - I'm sorry, please let go -

Hades-sensei：　急がなければ・・・！　本物のハルナさんは今頃・・・
I have to hurry...! Right now the real Haruna-san might be -

Text：　携帯応急セット
Portable first aid kit

Hades-sensei：　そうだ・・・！　携帯電話！
こんな時のために買ったっていうのにすっかり存在を忘れていた
これで改めて先生に連絡事項を確認すれば・・・
That's right! My cellphone!
I completely forgot that I had it, even though I bought it for times like this...
If I reconfirm what sensei called me about with this...

Mitogawa：　そうなんだよ　偶然そのチャンスに恵まれてな
ああ　こんなことはめったにない
その日のうちにダイバートと機材変更とインボラだからな
しかもよりによってアントノフだぞ　まさか乗る機械が・・・いや　ツポレフじゃない
イリューシンでもレアだがな　こんな驚きはなかったよ
That's right. I just happened to get that chance.
Yeah...things like that are rare.
A flight diversion, equipment change, and upgrade all on the same day.
Yet, of all things, it's an Antonov. I can't believe it's a machine you'd ride on - no, it's not a Tupoleva.
Even an Ilyushin is rare. I've never been so surprised.

Hades-sensei：　つ・・・繋がらない・・・
な・・・何これ・・・こんな事態があり得るのか・・・？
便利な道具とばかり思っていたのに・・・！
I...I can't get a hold of her...
Wh...what's going on...is a situation like this even possible?
Even though I've always thought it was a useful tool...

Ashitaba：　先生？
ハデス先生！　
Sensei?
Hades-sensei!


Page 10
Hades-sensei：　あっ・・・
アシタバくん！
A...
Ashitaba-kun!

Ashitaba：　何してるんですか？　こんな所で・・・
What are you doing here?

Hades-sensei：　いや・・・ちょっと人を捜してるんだけどね・・・
アシタバくんはこれからどこか行くのかな・・・？
しおりちゃん久しぶり
Well, I was looking for a someone but...
Where are you on your way to...?
Shiori-chan, it's been a while.

Ashitaba：　ああ・・・ちょっと妹にせがまれちゃって・・・
これから常伏盛夏祭に
Ahh...since my little sister's been pestering me...
We're on our way to the Tokofushi midsummer festival.

Hades-sensei：　盛夏祭・・・？
そこには・・・もしかしてマンゴー冷麺を販売しているハルナさんとか
マンボウ競走（レース）を開催しているハルナさんとかがいたりしないだろうね・・・
Midsummer festival...?
[T/N: Midsummer also is pronounced "seika."]
Is there a Haruna-san there selling mango noodles...
Or a Haruna-san running an ocean sunfish race...

Ashitaba：　マンゴー冷麺？
な・・・何を言ってるんですか・・・？
はあ・・・なるほど・・・
でも先生　病魔の気配は今のところ感じてないんですよね？
盛夏祭をやるのはこのあたりですから・・・もしその「ハルナ」さんが先生を待ってるとしたら
もっと遠くの・・・まだ行ってないところなんじゃないですか？
Mango noodles?
Wh...what are you talking about?
Oh, I see...
But, sensei...you haven't sensed the presence of a disease demon so far, right?
They're holding the festival in this neighborhood so...it's possible if this "Haruna-san" is waiting for you.
Wouldn't it be someplace further away that you haven't been to yet?


Page 11
Hades-sensei：　そうだね・・・
とはいえすっかり手がかかりをなくしてしまったことだし・・・
アシタバくん何かそれらしい話聞いたことないかい？
That's right...
But even so, I've run out of clues...
Ashitaba-kun, you haven't heard about anything that might help, have you?

Ashitaba：　う～ん・・・隣町に「湖の影（シャドウレイク）」って聖歌隊がいるのは知っていますけど・・・
かなりギリギリですよ・・・「レ」と「ク」しか合ってないし・・・
Well...I know there's a choir in the neighboring town called "Shadow Lake" but...
That's a pretty big stretch. Only the "re" and the "ku" fit.
[T/N: The "re" and "ku" he's referring to are from the Japanese pronunciation of "Mandrake" - Mandoreeku. The Japanese pronunciation of "Shadow Lake" ("Shadou Reiku") sounds kind of like Mandrake. So.]

Hades-sensei：　いや！　何もないより幾分ましだよ　ありがとう・・・
行ってみるね・・・！
Oh, no! That's somewhat better than nothing. Thank you.
I'm going to see!

Ashitaba：　あ！　先生・・・
何かひっかかるな・・・
本当に病魔の話なのかなぁ・・・
Ah! Sensei...
I feel like something is wrong...
Was it really about disease demons...?

Yoriko：　お・・・おにーちゃんなんであんなコワイ人としりあいなの？
頼子生まれて初めておにーちゃんをソンケーしたかも・・・
Onii-chan, why do you know a scary person like that?
This is the first time since I was born that I've respected you...

Person：　誰か・・・
誰かっ・・・助けてぇ～！
Someone...
Someone...help!


Page 12
Person：　教会が火事だ！
The church is on fire!

Person：　院長先生　近付いちゃダメです！　
今消防隊を呼びましたから
Director, you can't get close!
We just called the fire department!

Lady：　中にまだ人がいるのよ
おお・・・ハルナ・・・！
どうか無事で・・・
There's someone still in there.
Ooh...Haruna...!
Please be safe...

Hades-sensei：　ハルナさん！
Haruna-san!

Person：　消防隊です
It's the fire department!

Person：　あっ　消防隊さん大変だ！
今・・・白衣の人が火の中に・・・
Ah, mister firefighter, it's awful!
Just now...a man wearing a white robe went into the fire...


Page 13
Person：　ああっ
来た！
Ahh!
Here they come!

Person：　出て来たぞ！
子供も無事だ！
They came out!
The child is safe!

Lady：　ああ・・・ありがとうございます！
なんとお礼を言ってよいやら・・・
Ahh...thank you so much!
How should I express my gratitude...

Fireman：　君今回はお手柄だったが・・・
あんまりムチャしちゃいかんよ
You did a great deed this time but
But don't overdo it.

Hades-sensei：　は・・・はあ・・・
あの・・・それよりお伺いしたいことが・・・
Ye...yes.
Um...more importantly, I have something I want to ask.

Haruna：　みとがわさん・・・？
Mitogawa-san...?

Hades-sensei：　ま・・・またハズレ・・・
Wr...wrong again...

Keiichi：　逸人？
おい！　お前逸人か？
Itsuhito?
Hey? Are you Itsuhito?

Hades-sensei：　え・・・
Eh...


Page 14
Keiichi：　何してんだよ　お前！　ボロボロじゃねーか！
What are you doing? You're a mess!

Hades-sensei：　げっ！
Geh!

Keiichi：　「げっ」ってお前・・・
十年来の親友の顔見るなり「げっ」って・・・
"Geh"?
As soon as you see the face of your old friend of ten years, you go, "geh"...

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

Keiichi：　まいいけどよ
それよりなんだァ？　そのザマは？
どうせまたひとりで突っ走ってムチャしたんだろ
こりゃ　また俺の助けが必要かな？
Well, whatever.
Anyway, what's with you looking all messed up?
You probably just ran in recklessly by yourself again.
Do you need my help again?

Hades-sensei：　結構だ
お前には関係ないし　急いでるんだ
いや・・・待て・・・よく考えろ　経一はろくでもない奴だが今は藁をも掴みたい状況なのは事実
こうしている間にも
ハルナさんはー・・・！
I'm fine.
This doesn't have anything to do with you. I'm in a hurry.
No...wait. Think about this. Keiichi may be good for nothing but the truth is, right now I'm grasping at straws.
While I'm doing it like this...
Haruna-san is...!

Page 15
Keiichi：　お前そりゃキャバクラ「満開LADY」の背の高いハルナちゃんに違いねエよ！
ったくはじめっから俺に頼っときゃよかったモンを・・・
I'm sure it's about the tall Haruna-chan's, from the cabaret club "Full Bloom Lady."
[T/N: Mandrake = Mankai (Full Bloom) LADY" and senotakai (tall) = sekai, I guess. Oh, Keiichi, that's such a stretch.]
Jeez, if you'd have just asked me to begin with...

Hades-sensei：　お前・・・働きもしないでよくもそんな所に・・・
How dare you go to a place like that when you don't even have a job...

Keiichi：　ちゃ・・・ちゃんと自分の稼いだ金で行ってるよ！
万年枯れ男のお前と一緒にすんなっつーの
I...I go with the money I've earned myself!
Don't lump me in with you, you perpetually withered old man.

Haruna：　あれ～っ　経一ちゃん久しぶり
お隣の方お友達さんですかぁ～？
Ohhh, Keiichi-chan, it's been a while!
Is the person next to you your friend?

Keiichi：　ああ！　コイツがハルナちゃんに会いたいって
Yeah! This guy said he wanted to meet you.

Haruna：　え～っ本当？　
ヤダ～超ウレしいです～！
Ehh, really?
Oh, I'm so happy!

Hades-sensei：　す・・・すごい外見だ・・・
もしや病魔の仕業
Wha...what a crazy appearance...
That could be the work of the disease demon...


Page 16
Haruna：　ハルナもぉ～　あなたに会えるのを待ってた気がする！
キャッなんちゃってえー
Me too! I have a feeling like I've been waiting to meet you!
Ahh, just kidding!

Mitogawa：　ハルナさんという人が君を待っている
Someone named Haruna-san is waiting for you.

Hades-sensei：　い・・・今・・・
なんて・・・
では・・・三途川先生のことも・・・
いやしかし彼女から病魔の気配は・・・
What did you
Just say...
Then, do you know Mitogawa-sensei as well..?!
Well, but, I don't feel the presence of a disease demon from her -

Keiichi：　ハルナちゃんに病魔？　何言ってんだ　お前
Haruna-chan caught by a disease demon? What are you talking about?

Haruna：　みとがわ・・・あっチトセちゃんね！　知ってる知ってる
話（よく経一から）聞いてます～
ちょっと待ってて！　あなたに渡したいモンがあるの～
Mitogawa? Ah, Chitose-chan! I know her, I know her!
I've heard about her (a lot from Keiichi.)
Just wait a minute! There's something I want to give you.

Mitogawa：　遅い！　
一体　何をちんたらしていたんだ
なんだ
えらく反抗的な顔だな
You're late!
What have you been dragging around for?
What?
You're making a really defiant face...

Hades-sensei：　病・・・
Pl...


Page 17
Hades-sensei：　病魔じゃなかったんなら先に言ってくださいよ！
ハルナさんすこぶる元気じゃないですか
おかげで僕はドリアンで額を割るわ経一に頭を下げる羽目になるわで散々でしたよ
Please tell me ahead of time if it isn't a disease demon!
Haruna-san is fine, isn't she!
Thanks to you, I got cut in the forehead by a durian, ended up bowing my head to Keiichi, it was awful!

Mitogawa：　誰がそんなこと言ったんだ　君の勝手な勘違いだろう
それよりちゃんと品物は受け取ったのか？
ずいぶん軽装だが・・・
Who ever said anything like that? That was your own misunderstanding.
More importantly, did you get like the item like you were supposed to?
Your clothes are awfully light...

Hades-sensei：　え・・・ええ・・・でも用事ってこれでよかったんですか？
Y...yes, but the errand - was this okay?

Mitogawa：　うむ　それより早くしろ　もう始まっている
Yes. Anyway, hurry it up. It's already started.

Hades-sensei：　始・・・
Start -

Saizaki：　あ・・・
Ahh...

Banner：　才崎先生　お誕生日　おめでとう　ございます
Happy birthday, Saizaki-sensei

Hades-sensei：　才崎先生・・・？
Saizaki-sensei...?

Saizaki：　あ・・・ど　どうも・・・
なんだが恥ずかしいですわ・・・いい歳して・・・
Th...thank you...
How embarrassing...even at this age...

Mitogawa：　ほら何してる　さっさと渡せ
Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and give it to her.

Hades-sensei：　えっ？
渡すってこれをですか？
Eh?
Give her this?

Mitogawa：　無論だ　何のためのお膳立てだと思ってるんだ
Of course. What do you think I set this all up for?


Page 18
Hades-sensei：　あの・・・お誕生日おめでとうございます・・・？
Um...happy birthday...?

Saizaki：　えっ？　あ　ありがとうございます
すみません　気を遣っていただいて・・・
嬉しい・・・何かしら・・・
Eh? Th...thank you so much.
I'm sorry, you went through the trouble to...
I'm so happy...I wonder what it is...

Hades-sensei：　本当にこれでよかったんですか？　先生・・・
きっと何かお考えあってのことなんですよね？
Was that really okay, sensei...?
Surely you had some kind of plan?

Mitogawa：　頭痛がしてきた・・・ちょっと風に当たってくる
あとはひとりでなんとかしてくれ・・・
I've got a headache...I'm going to get a bit of air.
Deal with what's coming on your own.

Hades-sensei：　えっ？
Eh?

Saizaki：　ひっ・・・
Pl...


Page 19
Saizaki：　人をバカにするのもいい加減にして下さい！
最低！　大嫌い！　顔も見たくありません！
Please quit jerking people around!
You're disgusting! I hate you! I don't want to see your face!

Hades-sensei：　ええっ？　ちょっ・・・待って下さい
三途川先生！　これは一体どういう意味なんですか？
三途川先生・・・
Ehhh? Wa...wait a minute...
Mitogawa-sensei! Just what on earth is going on here?
Mitogawa-sensei...

Person：　三途川さんですか？　マンドレーク生花店の者なんですが・・・
ご注文いただいた１００本のバラのお引取りの方がまだいらっしゃらないのですが・・・
いかがいたしましょう？
Mitogawa-san? This an employee at Mandrake flower shop.
You haven't come to pick up your order of 100 roses yet...
What do you plan on doing?

Mitogawa：　最近なにかと頑張っているから・・・
たまにはいい思いさせてやろうと思ってたのに・・・
これじゃあ当分脈はないな
全く・・・先の思いやられる・・・
Lately, he's been working hard in some way or another...
I thought I'd let him have a little fun once in a while...
Well, now there's no chance of that...
Goodness...this is not going to be good...

Hades-sensei：　あっ　先生！　どこに行くんですか？
どういうことか説明して下さい　先生！　先生！
Ah, sensei! Where are you going?
Please explain what's going on! Sensei! Sensei!
