Sorry for the month and a half gap between chapters. Haven't really felt up to doing anything lately. Anyway, reserved for Muda. And if you see any glaring errors, feel free to message me about them.

Girl：　私～・・・どーしてもダイエットが成功しないんです・・・
I can't for the life of me get a diet to work.

Counseling room

Girl：　色んな人が協力してくれるんですけどー・・・
ど～しても食べるのガマンできなくて・・・
Various people have helped me out with it but...
No matter what, I can't have any self-control when it comes to eating..

Tachibana-sensei：　じゃあ　諦めろ！
お前にダイエットは向いてない
Well, then, give up!
Turn away from dieting.

Girl：　えっ・・・
Huh?

Tachibana-sensei：　その代わりうんと勉強してうんと稼げ！
それで美容整形なり脂肪吸引なりすればいいだろ
Instead, study a lot and earn a lot of money!
And then, you could get plastic surgery or liposuction.

GIrl：　相変わらず絶好調だね　絶花先生
Tachibana-sensei is in top form like always.

Girl：　私も早くグチ聞いて欲しい
I want him to hurry up and listen to my complaints too!

Tachibana-sensei：　好きなこと我慢すんな！
次っ！
Don't hold back with things you like!
Next!

Otemoto：　テストの点でど～しても勝てない相手がいるんです
そいつのこと考えてたらイマイチ勉強がはかどらなくて・・・
No matter what I do, there are people I can't win against when it comes to test scores.
When I think about them, I can't make any progress with my studies.

Tachibana-senesi：　いいんだよ！　お前は所詮その程度の人間なんだ
自分に期待すんな！　ハナっから絶望してろ！
そしたら　もう怖いもののなんて何もないぞ！
Listen up! You're only human, after all.
Don't have any hope in yourself! Be in despair from the get-go!
And then there will no longer be anything to be afraid of!

Tachibana-sensei：　胸張って生きろ！
次！
Stick your chest out in pride and live!

Ashitaba：　スクールカウンセラーの先生？
うちの学校にそんな先生いたんだ・・・
A school counselor?
Our school has a teacher like that?

Kaburagi：　私も友達に教えてもらうまで知らなかったんだけどね
今　カウンセリング室大人気らしいよ！
I didn't know it until my friends told me.
It seems like the counseling room is really popular right now.

Mimasaka：　へー
そんな頼もしいセンセーなのか？
Huh.
Is he that much of a dependable teacher?

Kaburagi：　それが全然！　私もみんなと一緒に相談に行ったんだけど・・・
ど～しても料理がうまくならないんです・・・
たくさん練習はしてるんですけど
Not at all! I went along with everyone to a session but...
Not matter what, I can't get my cooking to be good.
I've practiced a lot but...

Tachibana-sensei：　は？　料理がヘタってことは結婚してから家事をひとつやらなくていいってことだろうが
この幸せ者！　自慢すんな！
Huh? As for your cooking being bad...after you're married, it's okay if you don't do even one bit of housework.
You're fortunate! Don't be prideful!

Kaburagi：　毒舌で基本的に「諦めろ」しか言わないの
でも不思議と胸が軽くなるんだって
みんな"ネガティブ療法″って呼んでるわ
He basically only told me nothing but "give up!" in a really ugly way.
But surprisingly, I felt better.
Everyone's calling it a "negative remedy."

One of the kids：　へ～・・・
Huuuh.

Hades-sensei：　ああ・・・非常勤の絶花先生のことかな
最近来られた先生だよ
Ahh, are you talking the part-time teacher Tachibana-sensei?
He only recently came here.

Fuji：　あっちは「大人気」だ　そうだぜ
どーすんだよ　先生　ライバルじゃん
He's "really popular." That's right.
What are you gonna do, sensei? He's your rival.

Hades-sensei：　そんな　保健室は競うようなものじゃ・・・
Oh, no, the infirmary isn't someting you compete with -

Mitogawa-sensei：　失礼します
Excuse us.


Page 4
Hades-sensei：　三途川先生
と・・・
Mitogawa-sensei
And...

Mitogawa-sensei：　どうだろうか
How about it?

Tachibana-sensei：　いいですね
It's nice.

Mitogawa-sensei：　日当たり風通し良好！
昇降口から歩いて１０秒！
中庭にも隣接！
It's sunny and it's well-ventilated!
It's a ten-second walk from the entrance!
It's even adjacent to the courtyard!

Tachibana-sensei：　最高の立地条件じゃないですか　勿体無い
Isn't this a really good location? What a waste.

Mitogawa：　まあ　養護教諭があれとはいえ保健室だからなあ
Well, it's the infirmary, although the school nurse is here.

Kaburagi：　あの人よ　絶花先生！
He's Tachibana-sensei!

Mimasaka：　なんだ　若ー兄ちゃんじゃねーか
Wow, he's a really young guy.


Page 5
Hades-sensei：　お疲れ様です　三途川先生　絶花先生
何かご用ですか？
Good work, Mitogawa-sensei, Tachibana-sensei.
Do you need something?

Mitogawa：　ん？
ああ
そういえば君にはまた言ってなかったな
今日付けで君には保健室から出て行ってもらう
今までご苦労様
Hmm?
Ahh.
That's right, I haven't told you yet.
Starting today, you'll be leaving the infirmary.
Thanks for all your hard work until now.

A：　ハデス先生！
Hades-sensei!

One of the kids：　ちょ・・・ちょっと　どういうことですか？
先生　クビってこと？
H-hang on, what's going on?
Is sensei getting fired?

Mimasaka：　このマンガ終わっちまうじゃねーか？
Won't the manga end?

Mitogawa：　クビじゃない
保健室（ここ）を譲り渡してもらうだけだ
He isn't getting fired.
I'm only turning this place over to someone else.


Page 6
Tachibana-sensei：　今日より保健室はカウンセリング室として生まれ変わる！
その方が生徒のためだと校長先生に提案したところ・・・
見事OKをいただいた次第だ
Starting today, the infirmary will be reborn as the counseling room!
When I proposed to the principal that it would be for the sake of the students
It depended on me getting the green light.

Ashitaba：　校長先生って・・・
The principal...?

Mitogawa-sensei：　私だ
いつ言おういつ言おうと思っていたから６０話にも及んでしまった・・・
That would be me.
I kept wondering when I should say it but it got dragged out to 60 chapters...

Ashitaba：　えっ？
Huh?

Mimasaka：　ウソだろ　だってウチの校長って・・・
いつもブランデーくゆらせてるおっさんじゃなかったのかよ
No way. But our principal...
Hasn't he always been a ossan smoking with a glass of brandy?

Someone：　次は校長先生からのVTRです
Next is a video from the principal.

Mitogawa：　あれはほんの遊び心だ
校長先生の話しって大体つまらなんだろうと思ってね
まあ　それはそれとして・・・
That's just us having a bit of fun.
It's generally pretty boring when the principal gives a speech.
Well, whatever.

Hades-sensei：　ま・・・待ってください　なぜですか・・・
納得できません・・・せめて理由を・・・
P-please wait. Why..?
I can't understand it...at least give me a reason...


Page 7
Mitogawa-sensei：　・・・じゃあ　聞くがね
逸人くん先週の保健室の利用者は何人だった？
Well, then, I'll ask.
Itsuhito-kun, how many students came to the infirmary in the last week?

Hades-sensei：　１１人ですが？
11?

One of the kids：　少なっ！
So few!

One of the kids：　いい顔で答えんな
Don't answer that with a good expression.

Mitogawa-sensei：　絶花くんのカウンセリング室は？
Tachibana-kun, what about the counseling room?

Tachibana-sensei：　ざっと２００人くらいですかね
あんまり多いんでちゃんと数えてないです
It was around 200 students.
I couldn't properly count them all up since there were way too many.

Hades-sensei：　待ってください　リピーターを換算すると倍以上にはなりますよ・・・
この子たち４人X５日で・・・
Hold on, if you figure in repeat visitors, the numbers more than double.
4 children times 5 days is -

One of the kids：　いや　先生　それでも全然届いてねーから
No, sensei, it still wouldn't reach that number at all.

One of the kids：　足元にようやく及んだくらいだ
It would just barely add up to that.

Mitogawa-sensei：　見ろ！　連載開始から１年以上経つのになんだこの体たらくは
君の保健室など南棟の３階とかで充分だ！
生徒は５００人近くいるんだぞ
Look! Even though it's been more than a year since the story started - what about this sorry state?
Having your infirmary on the southside building on the third storey should be enough!
That's close to 500 students!

Hades-sensei：　そ・・・そんなの無茶ですよ！
ケガをした生徒になんて負担を強いるんですか
S-something like that is impossible!
Wouldn't that be a burden on injured students?

Tachibana-sensei：　体のケガも心のケガも一緒にです
生徒たちは今すぐ助けて欲しいんだ！
Wounds of the body and wounds of the heart are one and the same.
I want to help students right away.

Hades-sensei：　くっ・・・
Kuh...


Page 8
Tachibana-sensei：　・・・まあ　とはいえ僕も新顔なんでね
少しくらい遠慮してさしあげます
先生の未練が消えるまでは
これくらいの措置は取りましょう
Well, be that as it may, I am still a newcomer.
I'll show you a little respect.
How about we take a measure like this
Until your lingering attachment goes away?

Hades-sensei：　やあ　いらっしゃい
今すぐお茶をー・・・
Oh, welcome.
I'll make some tea right away -


Page 9
Hades-sensei：　あの～　シンクをお借りしても・・・
Um, could I borrow the sink -

Tachibana-sensei：　気が散るんでできれば遠慮していただきたいですね
こっちはおたくと違って多忙ですんで
Given that I'm distracted, I'd like if you'd show a little respect, if you can.
Unlike you, I'm busy.

Hades-sensei：　ダメだって
ごめんね・・・スポーツドリンクの粉ならあるけど・・・
なめるかい？
He says I can't.
I'm sorry...I have some sports drink powder...
Want to lick some?

Ashitaba：　ふびんな思いをしてるんじゃないかと心配だったけどここまでとは・・・
I had been worried he'd act pitifully but to go this far...

Mimasaka：　なんかオレ目頭が熱くなってきた
I'm about to cry.

Kaburagi：　ハデス先生ー！
元気出してくださいね！
保健室がどんな姿になっても私たち先生の味方ですから！
Hades-sensei!
Cheer up!
No matter what the infirmary looks like, we'll support you!

Hades-sensei：　みんな　ありがとう
ココアの粉もあるけど・・・なめる？
Thank you, everyone...
I have cocoa powder...want to lick some?

Fuji：　いらねーよ
I don't want any.

Text：　さらに翌日
And the next day

Ashitaba：　先生ーっ！
Sensei!

Mimasaka：　遂に廊下においやられてる
何してんだよ　先生！　カゼひくぞ！
He's finally chased him out into the hallway.
What are you doing, sensei! You'll catch a cold!

Hades-sensei：　ああ・・・ふたりとも　いらっしゃい
いやね・・・絶花先生が生徒が不振がるから外に出てくれないかと・・・
Ahh, welcome, you two.
Well, Tachibana-sensei was in a slump so he asked if I would go outside...

Mimasaka：　だからって素直に従うなよ
Yeah but don't just obediently do what he asks!

Hades-sensei：　あと　景観を損なうからと・・・
「生徒が」と言われるとどうにも逆らえなくて・・・
And he said it's because I was messing up the view...
When he said "students" there wasn't much I could do to go against him...

One of the kids：　ひどい
How mean!

Mimasaka：　なんなんだ　あの野郎新顔のくせしやがって
ちょっといくらなんでも横暴・・・
ん？
What's up with him? Doing that even though the bastard is new here...
Say what you will but oppression is -
Hmm?

Someone：　あ　それは適当にお願いします
もう要らないので
Ah, I'll leave that to you.
Since I don't need it anymore.


Page 11
Ashitaba and Mimasaka：　わー！
Waaaah!

One of the kids?：　リフォームされつつある
They're in the middle of renovating it.

Mimasaka：　ちょっと待てカウンセリングヤロー！
Hang on just a second, counseling jerk!

Tachibana-sensei：　ん・・・
なんだ　お前ら
相談があるなら放課後来いよ
Hmm?
What do you want?
If you need to talk, come see me after school.

Mitogawa：　まあ　ここは私に任せろ　絶花くん
あの子たちの言いたいことは大体わかっている
Well, leave this to me, Tachibana-kun.
I more or less understand what they want to say.

Ashitaba：　三途川先生
どうしてこんなことするんですか？
Mitogawa-sensei.
Why you doing something like that?

Mimasaka：　先生の恩師じゃあなかったのかよ
Weren't you sensei's former teacher?

Mitogawa：　今は　常中の校長先生だ
私は校長としてよりよいものはよりよい場所にあるべきだと考える
絶花くんの提案はもっともだ
Right now I am Toko middle school's principal.
As the principal, I figure that better things should be in better places.
Tachibana-kun's proposal was reasonable.

Ashitaba：　そ・・・
そんな・・・
N...
No way..

Kaburagi：　異議ありっ！
I object!


Page 12
Kaburagi：　みんなは保健室のいいところを知らないだけです！
ハデス先生だってとってもいい先生なんだから！
It's just that no one knows that the infirmary is a good place!
Hades-sensei is a good teacher!

Fuji：　恥ずかしい登場のさせ方すんな！
Don't make an entrance in such an embarrassing way!

Hades-sensei：　鏑木さん
藤くん
Kaburagi-san...
Fuji-kun...

Kaburagi：　本気出したハデス先生はこんなもんじゃないんですからね
Hades-sensei, who puts his heart and soul into everything, isn't like that.

Fuji：　３階まで昼寝しに行くのはゴメンだからなあ
I just don't to go all the way up three storeys to take a nap.

Mimasaka：　変なシャツ着やがって
Wearin' a weird-ass shirt...

Mitogawa：　くどい！
どれも言い訳にしか聞こえんな
So tedious...!
I'm hearing nothing but excuses.

Hades-sensei：　みんな・・・気持ちは嬉しいけど
保健室とカウンセリング室どちらがより必要かは僕たちだけで決めることではないから
それに保健室がなくなってしまうわけじゃないし・・・
Everyone, I'm glad you feel that way but...
Which is more necessary between the infirmary and the counseling room isn't something that can be decided just by us.
Besides, it's not as if the infirmary isn't going to be here anymore...

Ashitaba：　先生！
Sensei!


Page 13
Tachibana-sensei：　校長
気が変わりました・・・改築は一旦ストップして下さい
はじめは一等地である保健室（このばしょ）さえ手には入れればいいと思っていたが・・・
ずいぶん大人な意見だな　ハデス先生
俺はあんたみたいな上っ面ばっかりの偽善者が大っ嫌いでね
どうだ？　「保健室のいいことろ」とやらで俺を納得させてくれたら・・・
この場は引き下がってやてもいい
あんたの化けの皮・・・剥がしたくなってきた
Principal...
I've changed my mind. Please stop the renovations for a moment.
At first I thought it'd be nice if I could get my hands on the infirmary, which is in a good location...
How very adult of you, Hades-sensei.
I really hate people like you who apper to be nothing but hypocritical.
How about it? If you win me over with your whole "the infirmary is a good place" thing
I'll get out of here.
Your true character...you haven't wanted to show it.

Hades-sensei：　何を・・・
What are you...

Kaburagi and Mimasaka：　のった！
We'll take you up on that!

Hades-sensei：　えっ？
Huh?

Yasuda：　はい！
Yes!

I don't have a very good feeling about this, Yasuda-kun...

Yasuda：　いいところを見せつけるって言ったってまずは保健室に来てもらわないと話になんないだろ
そこで・・・
入り口にこういう・・・
You said show that it's a good place - first off, it's unacceptable if people won't come to the infirmary
So...
Put something like this by the entrance -

Kaburagi and Ashitaba：　だめ！
No!

Yasuda：　なんで？　保健室を取り戻したくないのかよ！
Why? Don't you want to get back the infirmary?!

Ashitaba：　そ・・・それは・・・
We...well...

Mimasaka：　校内　アンケート調査して来たぞ！
We did a questionnaire survey in the school!

Motoyoshi：　まず絶花先生の評価ね
こんな先生初めて　（１５歳女子）
ズバっと切ってくれて気持ちいい　（１４歳男子）
悩んでるのがアホらしくなる説得力　（１４歳男子）
クールでカッコイイ　（１３歳女子）
First, Tachibana-sensei's evaluation
That's the first time I've had a teacher like this. (15, girl)
It felt nice when he cut straight to the point. (14, boy.)
He has a persuasiveness that makes your worries seem ridicuous. (14, boy)
He's cool and awesome. (13, girl)

Ashitaba：　へえ～　やっぱり人気なんだ・・・
Wow, he really is popular.

Motoyoshi：　続いてハデス先生の評価・・・
見た目がキモイ　（１３歳女子）
治療どころか悪化しそう　（１５歳女子）
子供のメシが大好物って本当？　（１３歳男子）
努力は評価する　（２５歳女性教員）
以上惨敗です
競うだけムダって感じ
Continuing on, Hades-sensei's evaluation...
He looks gross. (13, girl)
Forget medical treatment, it seems like you'd get worse. (15, girl)
Is it true that children are his favorite food? (13, boy)
I appreciate his efforts. (25, female teacher)
It's utter defeat.
I have a feeling just competing is impossible.

Ashitaba：　本好くん　一応先生も聞いてるから手加減して！
Motoyoshi-kun, sensei is listening too for now so be a little gentler!

Fuji：　朗報
I've got good news.

Ashitaba：　藤くん
本当？
Fuji-kun.
Really?

Fuji：　兄貴が一千万くらいなら動かせるって言ってるけど
Aniki said he can change his attitude if you have 10 million yen.

Ashitaba：　正攻法じゃ勝てないの？
Won't we lose with a frontal attack?

Yasuda：　はい！　はい！
Yes! Yes!

Ashitaba：　や・・・安田くん・・・
今度は何？
Ya...Yasuda-kun...
What is it this time...?


Page 16
Yasuda：　みのりちゃんに協力を要請して・・・
We'll ask for Minori-chan to cooperate with us -

Ashitaba：　だから不健全なのはダメ！
鏑木さんたちは何かない？
We said we can't use unwholesome stuff!
Kaburagi-san, does your group have anything?

Kaburagi：　考え中・・・
I'm still thinking...

Hanamaki：　あ・・・
あのう
わ・・・私　ハデス先生にはじめて会った時・・・
その・・・ほんのちょっぴり怖かったので
あ！　今は全然！　そ・・・そんなことないんですけど・・・
第一印象が若干・・・なので・・・その・・・
こういうのはどうかと・・・
Ah...
Um...
W-when I first met Hades-sensei...
Um...since I thought he was just a little bit scary...
Ah! I don't find you scary at all now! It's...it's not like that...
Since you don't get a lot of first impressions...
I was thinking what about something like this...

Kaburagi：　かわいいーっ！
That's cute!

Fuji：　いや　逆に怖えーよ 不信感ダダ上がりだし
No, it's scary instead. It just raises suspicion.

Kaburagi：　えー　かわいいと思うけどなあ
Eh, I thought it was cute...

Hanamaki：　ご・・・！　ごめんなさい！
I'm...I'm sorry!

Mimasaka：　こら藤　女子泣かすな
Hey, Fuji, don't make girls cry.

Yasuda：　はい！　はい！
Yes! Yes!

Mimasaka：　また安田かよ　いい加減にしろ
Yasuda again? Just stop it already.

Yasuda：　今度はマトモだって！
But this time it's decent!


Page 17
Tachibana-sensei：　まだいる・・・
下校時刻とっくに過ぎてんじゃねぇか
上っ面だけの・・・キレイ事ばっかりの一介の教員に生徒がここまで傾倒するか？
生徒のためどころか生徒に世話になってんじゃあ本末転倒だな
ふん・・・話にならん
帰ろ
They're still here.
Hasn't the time to go home already passed a while ago?
Are the students going this far to dedicate themselves to a teacher who is nothing but fake and naive?
Forget doing it for the student's sake - if you're getting help from them, you're getting your priorities backwards.
Hmph, ridiculous.
I'm going home.

Fuji：　先生　何　笑ってんだよ
What are you laughing about, sensei?

Mimasaka：　んなヨユーねーだろーが！
We don't have that kind of time!

Hades-sensei：　ん？　ああ・・・ごめん
ごめんね・・・変だよね
ふふふ
Hmm? Ahh, sorry.
Sorry, it's just strange.
Fufufu.


Page 18
Hades-sensei：　いいところだけどみんなそろそろ帰ろう
外真っ暗になっちゃうからね・・・
I know things are going good right now but it's about time to go home.
It's already gotten dark out.

Mimasaka：　げ！　もうこんな時間かよ
じゃーねー　今日のところはカンペキしてやっか
Geh! It's already this late!
See ya! This is good enough for today.

Kaburagi：　私家でもっとしっかり考えてくる！
I'm going to keep thinking hard about it at my house!

Hades-sensei：　戸締まりはやっておくから
気をつけて帰ってね
I'm going to go ahead and lock up.
Be careful of your way home.

Motoyoshi：　お願いします
Thank you.

Kaburagi：　先生　さようなら！
Sensei, goodbye!

One of the kids：　お先ー
Bye!

Yes...
Goodbye.

Mitogawa-sensei：　何の真似だ
What's all this about?

Hades-sensei：　三途川先生と絶花先生のおっしゃれる事・・・もっともだと僕も思います
病魔だの何だの言う以前に・・・自分が教師としていかに未熟であったか思い知らされました
深く反省しています
そこで・・・
来週からはタイトルをこんな感じに改め・・・
心機一転フリーの養護教諭として病魔と戦います
今までありがとうございました
The thing that you and Tachibana-sensei were talking about...I believe it's reasonable as well.
Before the disease demons and whatever else, I realized myself in what ways I've been inexperienced as a teacher.
I've given it a lot of consideration.
Therefore...
Starting next week, the title is going to be changed with a feeling like this.
I'm going to start over again fighting disease demons as a freelance school nurse.
Thank you for everything until now.
