Left: The "spotlight" is taking a short break---
Chapter 39:「Yuuma Kuga ⑦」
Author: Daisuke Ashihara
???: Look, that four-eyes is the one who recently......
Tied with Kazama-senpai!
Well he does look like someone who is steady......
Osamu thinking: ......No
I am not steady at all...

P02
Osamu thinking: The truth has been distorted and spreaded out......
「Tied」or something......
To be exact it should be 「24 defeats, 1 draw」......
But no one came to ask...
Osamu yelling: I was defeated 24 times!
Osamu thinking: ......Even so it sounds weird when I say it out...
If anyone came over to ask......
Midorikawa: Hey, hey.
I want to ask you something.
Osamu: Yes, what?

P03
Midorikawa: That emblem on your shoulder...
Isn't it Tamakoma's...
Are you from Tamakoma?
Osamu: Eh? Ahh......
Yes I am...
Initially I joined Border through the Headquarters,
but I transferred to Tamakoma.
Midorikawa: Transferred......?
Why? How did you do that?
Osamu: Even though lots of things have happened...
But mainly I was invited over by Jin-san......
Midorikawa: Jin-san......?
Uh-hmm......
I see.
Is today your day off?
You don't have any defense missions?
Osamu: Ah... Well, I am taking a break now......
Midorikawa: Then...

P04
Midorikawa: After your break, let's have a 1 vs. 1 rank battle.
Osamu: A 1 vs. 1 rank battle......?
I thought the rank battles for formal members are in teams......
Midorikawa: We can use the C-class hall for that.
Even though it is not the kind of battle where you fight for points.
Lets battle!
Be it 10 times or 5 times, let's do it!
Osamu: ......
Osamu thinking: Come to think of it, it has been a while since I did a formal battle...
Osamu: ...... Alright.
Let's go.

P05
???: !
That four-eyes seems to have accepted the challenge!
It looks like fun... let's have a look!
Osamu: ............
Osamu thinking: ......It seems like
Something is going abnormally wrong......
Who is this kid......?
Even though he looks like a formal member......

P06
Yuuma: Thank you.
What's wrong? Where did all your spirits go?
You looked all pumped when you attacked me last time.

P07
Miwa: Well, since the Headquarters had approved your enlistment......
It would be against the rules to kill you.
Yuuma: Oh......?
Yousuke: Oh!
Isn't this the white-haired kid with the black trigger!
Rindou: Did you guys work hard?
Yousuke: So you have joined Border!
Yuuma: The 「spear user」and Youtarou......?
Why are you guys together?
Yousuke: I'm helping to take care of this little bastard.
Youtarou is Shiori-chan's little cousin.
Yuuma: Oh, Shiori-chan's.

P08
Yuuma: The rapport between Tamakoma and the Headquarters isn't as bad as I thought......?
Rindou: Shiori-chan and Karasuma,
both of them were in the Headquarters until a year ago.
They still go back to have a look sometimes.
Yuuma: Eh,
they sounded a lot like Osamu.
Yousuke: Hey Shuuji,
are you not asked to join any of the meetings?
Miwa: ...... I already informed Kazama-senpai that I will be absent for being unwell.
Yuuma: Hmm...
Is he sick?
Yousuke: No, no.
Initially he feels like it is natural to eliminate the Neighbours.
Recently, however, people around him said opposite things, that's why he is confused.

P09
Yuuma: Oh yeah.
The Neighbours killed your sister, right?
Miwa: ......!!
How did you know......!?
Yousuke: ............
Yuuma: Do you need my help to take revenge?
Miwa: ......!?
What......!?
Yuuma: I could ask my partner to conduct thorough investigations.
It is possible to roughly pinpoint
the nation to which the trion soldier who killed your sister belongs.
If you were to take revenge, it's better to give it your all.

P10
Miwa: ............
............ ............
...... Stop joking......!
I will not depend on your help......!
Neighbours...
All of them are enemies!
Yousuke: Eh Shuuji, where are you going?
Miwa: ...... For the meeting...
Yousuke: Oh well,
it is tough for people like him who are too serious......

P11
Yousuke: Ah!
This reminds me that we've agreed to battle!
Since you are free, let's fight for a round!
Yuuma: Can formal members battle with trainees?
I got turned down by Kazama-senpai.
Yousuke: Battles with your points changing are impossible.
However it is still possible to battle in practice mode.
Kazama-senpai has a very high self-esteem.
He would prefer the official rank battles.
As for me, as long as I am happy anything will do.
Well then, let's go to the battle hall.
Yuuma: Ok.

P12
Yousuke: What's going on?
The number of audiences are unusually high.
(Board): Mikumo
Yuuma: 「Mikumo」......?
Announcer: 10-round battle, over!
10 to 0

P13
Victor:
Midorikawa.
(Box) A-class Rank 4 Kusakabe Unit, Attacker, Shun Midorikawa (14)
Rindou: Argh! Mikumo!
He lost!
Yousuke: Isn't he the four-eyed from before?
Did he had a rank battle with Midorikawa?
Yuuma: Midorikawa......?

P14
Osamu: I lost......
In the end, I can't even read his movements......
Rindou: Hey Osamu!
Why did you lose!
Yuuma: Looks like you're in the spotlight---
Osamu: Youtarou......!?
Kuga......!
Midorikawa: You've worked hard, four-eyes.
I roughly determined your true strength.
You can go now.

P15
???: That four-eyes is totally incompetent,
his movements are too slow.
I'm disappointed.
He's totally looked down by the younger Midorikawa.
It is impossible for him to tie with Kazama-senpai.
Rindou: I will avenge Osamu!
Go! Raijinmaru!
Raijinmaru!
Yuuma: ............
Hey.
Are you the one who gathered the audiences?
Midorikawa: ...... Nope.
I think they're attracted here by the rumours of him tying with Kazama-senpai.
I did nothing at all.
Yuuma: Oh......

P16
Yuuma: You.
Are a boring liar.
Midorikawa: ......!?
Yuuma: Midorikawa, let's battle.
If you win
I'll give you all my points.
All 1508 points.

P17
Midorikawa and Osamu: Wha.......?
Yousuke: Eh?
What about the battle with me?
Midorikawa: What's with this guy......
Is he from Tamakoma......?
1500 points......
Aren't you a C-class?
Do you plan to fight with me using a training trigger?
Yuuma: Exactly.
If the opponent is you, it's enough.
Midorikawa: ......!!

P18
Midorikawa: ...... All right, let's fight.
What do you want if you win?
3000 points? 5000 points?
Yuuma: I don't want points.
In that case,
if I win,
you'll have to address「senpai」.
Midorikawa: 「senpai」......? Is he older than me?
I thought he is younger than me since he is that short.
......Ok.
If I lose,
I will call you「senpai」as many times as you like.
Yuuma: No no,
not me.

P19
Yuuma: You'll have to address my team leader as 「senpai」.
Insert text: Mikumo Unit, Yuuma, eager for battle!!
Rindou: Oh......!?
Yuuma sounds fired up!?
Bottom: Next issue, fierce battle between impertinent A-class member Midorikawa and Yuuma...!!
