Chapter 2: Problems and Solutions

- Automaton Case / Research of a unit that does not require a human’s operation 「Autonomous Katanas」= 「Automaton」 had progressed.
- However, with the escape of experiment #2 and the trail of destruction in its wake, any further research concerning Automatons were prohibited.
- ---------Once again

002

- This case brings up questions on the dangers of Katanas,
- What? What? Admiring porn sites?
- (Background: ) Ehh~ I’m just joking.
- Sis.
- For a half human half Katana like me, it is a very huge blow to me.
- I believe that is a pretty valid reason.

003

- What?
- Just because of that.
- As you can see, the tension’s pretty low.
- Ah, so that’s…
- -----Aah?
- That Takemoto brat said some nonsense again?

004

- ------Thanks for the hard work.
- There’s no abnormalities.「Inspection」’s over.
- ……Thank you.
- Phew…
- Ah.

005

- Investigator Takemoto.
- Cheh
- It’s rare to meet at the hospital.
- Takemoto-san, having your regular checkup?
- I’m different from someone like you who requires maintenance.
- Visiting only.
- The gun equipped Katana that your damn division allowed to escape injured one of my subordinates two days ago.

006

- Ah somewhat…I’m sorry.
- Ah / Don’t get all upset there.
- A half Katana like you can’t possibly understand.
- The feeling of a superior whose men got injured / Does your heart hurt? Even if you fail you have nothing to get over, so a monster like you won’t understand.

007

- I wasn’t in charge…
- Ah?
- You said something?
- You’re that
- bothered about me?
- I hate you. / A Katana with self-awareness only brings about nothing but harm.
- The Automaton case has sufficiently proven that / But why is a half Katana like you still not destroyed?
- Hey.
- Why the hell are you still here?

008

- For the next 30 minutes, the young boy who couldn’t take the sarcasm has once again became an adult…
- ---I see / I get the gist of it.
- This is my room though.
- ----Sigh
- He’s still a kid after all.
- Togusa.

009

- What the--!!
- ----Wha…

010

- What the heck are you doing all of a sudden!
- Infusing fighting spirit!! / A man shouldn’t be moping about… Your sister is sad!!
- Uh, this is my room…
- Oh well…
- Takemoto/ Although he’s an excellent investigator.
- He is the type of man who is driven with the hatred of Katanas.
- His hate is not limited to only you Togusa.
- He hates all Katanas on the whole / There was something that happened in his past.

011

- ------Damn that brat.
- Although he’s a monster, he displayed such a human reaction----
- Although he’s a monster…
Sfx: brii brii brii (phone ringing)
- It’s me.
- Investigator Takemoto, there’s a sighting.
- Hah?
- What are you saying?

012

- It’s him!! The gun equipped Katana!
- Not good…
- -----So it’s you / The dog which had been following my scent.

013

- Although I can’t give out detailed information, / Takemoto is also a victim of the Automaton case.
-「----Hey」
- Ever since that case, he has carried much hatred towards the existence of Katanas.
- 「Why the hell are you still here? Monster----」


014

- ----Hm
- Ah
- …It’s a sortie.
- Is it the guy that Takemoto-san was talking about?
- Maybe.
- By the way, it was requested with a 5% increase.
- The show I wanted to watch is almost starting…
- There’s not enough motivation. Togusa, a word of command.
- Here we go.
- ……

015

- ------ 0 points.
- I won’t get motivated with that.
- Idiot-chan.
- Togusa.
- Although I’m not exactly sure what that Takemoto said to you 30 minutes ago,
- But you don’t have to take any of his disrespect to heart.
- He’s wrong about one thing.

016

- You are not the perpetrator of the Automaton case nor are you a Katana criminal.
- You are you.
- Am I wrong?
- He didn’t get that wrong!
- My feet’s numb…

017

018

- ----Fight!!
- All or nothing!!
- The opponent uses guns
- So Togusa / Let’s go with Plan Gamma! (TN: Use the Gamma symbol for gamma)
- ----Roger.
- It’s my first time hearing of such a plan…

019

- (Top bubble) Well I’ll admit it.
- (middle bubble on the right) Where are you? Little doggy~
- I like squashing ants and turning butterflies into caterpillars, (TN: I think he means he like pulling wings off butterflies so they turn back into caterpillars T.T So mean.)
- But this is the most fun activity of all.
- …For someone like you, as long as I’m not seen I’m fine.

020

- Greedy / Arrogant / Wallowing in his own power.
- People who uses Katanas are all monsters, beasts in human forms.
- My belief isn’t wrong.
- This just further confirms it.
- A human’s life…
- Don’t compare it to one of a bug!!

021

- Pointless.

022

- You’re not such a bad thing.
- But your sorrow
- Is not enough…/ !!

023

- Kuh

024

- Saved by the bell / is what I think I should say.

025

- !? / The Anti-Katana Criminal Division…
- You guys…
- Takemoto-san.
- Your job is to investigate Katanas.
- Not exterminating or being a decoy, so your duties have been fulfilled.
- From here on…

026

- From here onwards,
- It is within the scope of us monsters.
- You too.
- You don’t have to hold back.
- ----Come!

027

- You…You don’t have to tell me that!!

028

- -----Then
- Then how about this!!!

029

- Ah / Oi!
- I’ll leave it to you Sis.
- It’s Plan Gamma! (use the gamma symbol here again)
- -----Sure.

030

- --Hah!

031

032

- ----Yo.
- Mon…monster…
- Is that
- For you to say?

033

- ----Takemoto-san
- You asked me just now
- For the reason why I’m still here.
- To hunt those who harms with Katanas,
- In the end I am unable to do anything else, ------that’s why I will stick to doing this.

034

- The appropriateness of my existence
- Can only be proven by continuing these actions.
- -----Cheh.
- ----- Then follow through with it and show me / Let me judge with my own eyes…

035

- Phew……
- Here.
- (words in bg) Chill

036

- Sis, it’s cold.
- Stop hesitating.
- Ah—
- It’s this, it’s gotta be this. The first cup.
- A thing created to spread its lovely taste to everyone.
- Ah--…So such a thing was created as well.
