Taisuke: Ahh, because she's only two years old?

Yuuta: You idiot....

PAGE 09

Yuuta: She's completely different from us...!

Aoi: ...she gives off a bad kind of...
>feeling.

Aoi: A scary feeling...

Taisuke: Huh? What do you mean?

Nami: Kanou, you don't feel anything from that child? / Like some kind of aura...

Taisuke: Should I?

PAGE 10

Nami: That's Ochiai Megumi-san.

Nami: She is the one that Kanou has always been searching for....

>lil txt: Straight hair

PAGE 11

Taisuke: Wait....Is this a dream?

Nami: ...huh?

Taisuke: It's just too good to be true that we would suddenly meet by chance.

Megumi: ....they seem really close....

Tama: Really?

PAGE 12

Megumi: That is Inoki Nami-san.

Megumi: As I thought, she seems very strong.

Megumi: She's beautiful, and has big breasts.

Megumi: She's like a model.

>lil txt next to namis tits: bounce

Micky: Taisuke's shacking up with a woman in the country side~~!!

Megumi: This is the person that has been together with Taisuke for the past two years...

PAGE 13

Taisuke: Sorry about this.

Taisuke: Everyone seems to be really shy.

Tama: That's to be expected of my subordinates.

Tama: They should fear and try to please me.

Tama: However. You are completely different...
>Since then, you have been someone I can't understand.

Tama: Is it because I am small,

Tama: that you have forgotten who your master is?

PAGE 14

Taisuke: ...Eh? / small...?

Sfx: nudge

Megumi: H..hey now, Tama-chan!

>lil txt above yun: Namu Amida (prayer)

Rei: You're the Mitama, right?
>Then please hear this.

PAGE 15

Rei: Get the hell out.

Taisuke: R..Rei-san?!

Taisuke: After waiting all this time....!

Rei: Neither the "heart" nor any of it's fragments are here.
>None of us can remain calm while you are here.

Rei: ...sorry.

PAGE 16

Megumi: ....Shall we go back, Tama-chan?

Taisuke: No!?

Taisuke: No way!

Taisuke: I want you to stay with me, Meg!!

PAGE 17

Rei: S..so beautiful.... / Such radiant youth!

Tama: ....Let's go, Megumi.

PAGE 18

Tama: We have nothing left to do on this island anyway.

Tama: The "heart" wouldn't come here.

Rei: W...wait!

Rei: Do you know where the "heart" is...?

>lil txt next to her: hnn

Rei: ...this person...

Taisuke: ....say, Meg---

PAGE 19

Taisuke: Where do you think Hirose would go?

Megumi: Huh??

Megumi: To suddenly ask that....
> umm~~~mmmmm...

Megumi: ...wouldn't he want to return home?

PAGE 20

>txt: To Japan...

Taisuke: That's....that's right!

Taisuke: He was taken away. He would want to return to Japan!

Rei: Wait.
>To say the heart would want to return is kind of a stretch...

Yuuta+Yun: Would it....?

Aoi: But, if there's a chance!

Tama: I want to go back as well,
>Megumi.

PAGE 21

Tama: I want you to come too, Taisuke.

Rei: ...the "heart" desires..

Rei(thought): It's old friend...

PAGE 22

Tama: And it'll be good for you two to be together again.

PAGE 23

Box: A little after that.

Box: We returned to Japan.

PAGE 24

Person: About these "power users".

Person: Isn't that just made up?

Person: No, it's real!

Person: I was given a link to the publication that documented the actual event.
>I want to help "Kid A" too.
T/N: I assume "Kid A" is supposed to be Anzu (or taisuke).

Person: Rain-tan too.

>Cell phone:
Rain investigations
Disaster on the platform!
"Kid A" needs you now.
T/N: Slight guesswork on the last part.

PAGE 25

Person: It's just. There's no way that kind of world could exist is there?

Person: What? I just know it has to be real....

Person: Rain.....?!

Person: Seriously! That was Rain!!

Person: Geez! That isn't a real person, it's just something that was made up!

Friend1: Ah. I knew everyone would start talking.

Friend2: Yeah. About Rain....right?

Friend1: Because she looks so much like Nami.

Friend2: Really~~~? / Clueless

PAGE 26

Nami: Hiiiiii~~~~~

Box: Even if my real name hasn't come out.

Box: There are still repercussions from Amayami-san's website.

Box: The existence of power users is slowly gaining more acknowledgment.

Box: Rumor has it that the army is completely denying their existence all together.

T/N: Ok, most if not all of the txt on the page is various message board messages. Some believe it, some dont, some are acting like typical 4chan douchebags. It'll take way too long to translate it all since I suck with just kanji. sorry ^^

PAGE 27

Box: But. There are still no leads to finding the "heart"....

Box: Tezuka-san and his siblings have returned to their mansion in the city.

Box: So that they could monitor the army's movements.

PAGE 28

Aoi: Ah! Kurumi from before!!

Kurumi: What's that supposed to mean?!

Aoi: Thank you for the notes!
>It must have been so much trouble for you!

Kurumi: Ah.....a little.

Aoi: But I couldn't understand a thing, so I'm returning it to you now!

>txt under the bubble: Here!

Kurumi: This moron!!

Aoi: Morning, Yuuta!

Yuuta: Hey.

PAGE 29

Friend: So Aoi-chan really does like you then?

>lil txt next to friend: Hmph

Yuuta: HA?!

>txt over friend: But you're the only one she greeted....

>txt over yuuta: And just because of that...?!

Box: And just like that.

Box: Everyone returned to daily life.

Box: Until the "heart" moves once again....

PAGE 30

Box: .....and.

Box: Due to Amamiya-san's strong recommendation.

>txt: You're going to be watched closely by the army won't you?! / If you go home they might burn your house down too!!

PAGE 31

Box: Kanou,
>Went to stay at Amamiya-san's new home.

Taisuke: I'm home.....

PAGE 32

Rei: ....Taisuke?
>Is the Mitama near you right now?

Taisuke: ....not right now. What's up?

PAGE 33

Rei: Anzu has uncovered something about Dan Freidkin during her recent investigation of the army....

Taisuke: Ahh....the one who has a fragment of the heart?
>What about him?

Rei: Someone killed him a few days ago.

Rei: It was likely...

Rei: That the heart fragment was taken.

PAGE 34

Rei: Just be careful, Taisuke....

Rei: ....Sorry, but please keep an eye on the Mitama.

Taisuke: Yukie-san said

Taisuke: That the Mitama was on Katsumata's side....

PAGE 35

Taisuke: If that's true..

Taisuke: What is Katsumata's objective?

Taisuke: Taking Meg, when she isn't a power user.

Taisuke: Leaving her with the Mitama.

Taisuke: That guy

Taisuke: Why did he take her...

>txt on far left: Gyaa--- *this is a far off sound that meg hears, which is why she wakes up*

PAGE 36

Megumi: Haahhh!

Taisuke: What the!?

Megumi: Ah...

Megumi: Oh, that's right. Tama-chan was recently cured of her night terror....
>lil txt: Hah~~~~

Taisuke: Night terror?

Megumi: Eh?

Megumi: Oh, yeah....

Megumi: When she would sleep, painful wounds would open on her body and she would cry all night long.

Megumi: But it's all right now. The so called "heart fragment" medicine seems to be working just fine.

>lil txt: Right~~~~?

PAGE 37

Taisuke: ----huh?!

PAGE 38

Taisuke: Oh, that?

Taisuke(thought): And to think of what I use to do when we were kids.

>txt above taisuke: Surprise~!

PAGE 39

>txt: There the whole time.

Amamiya: I'm...kind of in the way.

SFX: Doki doki doki doki

Amamiya: This "is" my house after all.
>Should I be so worried about where to look....

>lil txt: I just took a glance

PAGE 40

Amamiya: .....Well, anyway.

Amamiya: Since the incident, everyone has scattered.
>And after two years...

Amamiya: He's finally found the one he's been searching for...

>magazine: Retribution for bullying. "Kid H's" childhood friend (girl, 16) accomplice.
T/N: I assume "Kid H" is supposed to be hirose.

PAGE 41

Amamiya: From here on
>It's do or die.

SFX: click click (mouse clicking)

Amamiya: The number of people sending in reports sure is increasing.

>Screen: You have new messages. (38)

Amiyama: It seems more and more are coming from oversea's...

Amiyama: "Long time no see Rain"....

Amiyama: "Long time no see?" I wonder who sent this...

PAGE 42

>txt:
Sender: Clay
Message name: Long time no see Rain

Amamiya: Sender....

Amamiya: Clay...

Amamiya: Clay!?

PAGE 43
