Chapter VI 3 - The Death of a Certain Man

59)
1: Woah...
2(2b): Oh crap...it's already this late...?

60)
1: Uuu...?!
2: Wahhhh!
3: Huh?!

61)
1: Ah...
2(2b): It's dark...I can't see anything...
3: Can't feel anything...
4: Am I going to die like this...?
5(2b): No! I don't want to die like some cockroach!
6(2b): Besides, I can't die right now! If I do, then my wife and daughter will be
thrust out in the cold!

62)
1(2b): My daughter is only four...she should be starting preschool this year...
2(2b): And my wife is still young...she's naive, inexperienced, and knows nothing
about the world...
3: I haven't paid much attention to them lately.
4: They both must be feeling very lonely...
5: I wish I could see their faces one more time...
6(2b): And I wish I could apologize to them...for everything...
7: And for the future...
8: And then...
9: I want to say goodbye to them...
10(2b): Okay...this must be some stroke of fate. I'll grant your wish.

63)
1(2b): Who is it? Who is talking to me...
2(2b): I suppose I might as well give you...half a day.
3: I'll tell the you of the past what will happen twelve hours later.
4: It's even possible that your life could be saved...
5: But the power of fate is tremendous.
6: Be sure not to forget that...
7: slump...

64)
1: Huh?!
2: Snicker...
3: Ufufu...
4: Look, he woke up right in time for lunch!
5: Alright, time to eat!
6: Ahaha!
7: It was just a dream...

65)
1(2b): What's wrong? Don't feel well?
2: Nah, it's nothing...
3: Is it a phenomenon again?
4: What?
5: A psychic phenomenon...
6: Seeing UFOs or speaking with ghosts...that's your special talent, Shin-chan.
7: Yeah...
8: She's right...
9: It might be bothering me so much because it's a premonition...
10: I'm going to leave early today!
11: Eh?
12: But you promised to tell me the rest of what happened last night after work!
13: Sorry, but it'll have to wait for tomorrow!

66)
1: If it's a premonition, then I'll be hit by a car at midnight and die...
2: This is it...
3: This is the place where I get run over...
4: Which means all I have to do is make sure I'm not in this spot at that time!
5: I'll make sure to get as far away as possible...
6: But if something still happened...!
7: Yeah! If by chance...
8: But the power of fate is tremendous...
9: Be sure not to forget that...

67)
1: Oh, you're home?!
2: What are you doing back so early...?
3(2b): The truth is, I have to go out of the office tonight, and won't be home. I
came back to tell you.
4: Where's Mayumi?!
5: You liar!
6: Eh?
7: You're going to her place, aren't you...
8: So you knew...
9: But believe in me, Noriko!
10(2b): Tonight is really something different! Something much more important!

68)
1: I intend to flat out break it off with her...
2: I even told her about it last night!
3: Oh...so you met her yesterday, too...
4: Noriko...
5: Papa!
6: Mayumi!
7: What are you all dressed up for?
8: Today she got her preschool uniform.
9: She kept insisting over and over that she was going to wear it...
10: Ahaha! It looks great on you!
11: Believe in me, Noriko...
12: I love both you and Mayumi from the bottom of my heart...

69)
1: Kyahaha...
2(2b): ...so you would like the recipient of your life insurance to me your wife's
name, is that correct?
3: Yes.
4(2b): Thank you very much. We will send you your insurance card at a later date.
5: So, just to make sure! If I were to die in an accident today...
6: then 100,000,000 yen would be paid to my wife!
7: Yes, exactly...
8: Now my fallback preparations are complete.
9: All I need to do now is get as far away as I can from that spot.

70)
1: tap
2: Ah...you?!
3(2b): What do you mean "you"...
4: You say you want to break up, and then all of a sudden we're strangers...?
5: Just where are you trying to disappear to?
6: You're not trying to run away, are you...?
7: Yeah right!
8: I just thought I'd go take a trip to a hot springs as a diversion...
9(2b): I've been feeling too stressed lately...haha...
10: Come with me for a minute.
11: No, stop!

71)
1(2b): No! I won't let go until you say yes!
2: I feel like if I let you go now, then I'll never be able to see you again!
3(2b): Alright...I'll go with you...
4: But only for an hour.
5: I guess I do still have some time to spare...

72)
1: Ahh...Shin-chan!
2: Naoko!
3: Ahhhhhhhhhhh
4(2b): What are you in such a hustle for, Shin-chan...
5: Fufu...

73)
1: This might be the last time I ever sleep with a woman...
2(2b): Let's see if I can guess what you're thinking, Shin-chan...that this might
be the last time we're together?
3: No, that's not it!
4: That's not what I meant!
5: You and I go back farther than you and your wife, you know.
6: It's impossible for us to split up at this point...
7: So promise me...
8: That you'll never say you want to break up again...
9: Mmmmmm...
10: Okay?!
11: This is my answer!
12: Kyahhh!
13: Aaaahhhh....mmm

74)
1: click click
2: zzzzzzz
3: Ahh!
4: What time is it right now?!
5: Why don't you look at your watch?
6: Oh no!
7: The last train already left...
8: Ahhhhhh, I'm such an idiot!
9(2b): So...just stay with me tonight, then...it's fine, isn't it?
10: Wait?!
11: 12:20...
12(2b): Haha...wait a minute...

75)
1: Hahahahahahahaha!
2: What's wrong?
3(2b): Look at me! I'm absolutely fine!
4: What are you talking about?
5: Kukukuku...
6: Hey, Shin-chan!
7(2b): Sorry, Naoko! But can you drive me home?
8: Ehh?!
9(2b): I really was stupid...to believe that dream would actually come true...
10(2b): Fufu...they're probably both asleep by now...I'll appear right by both
their pillows and give them a big surprise! Kuku!
11: Shin-chan...

76)
1: screech!
2(2b): Eh? You want me to get out here?
3: What'll you do if your wife sees me?
4: Oh yeah...
5: Thanks, Naoko...
6: Good night!
7: So I guess no matter what I do...
8: Shin-chan simply treats me like a sex object...

77)
1: Hm?
2: Ahh?!
3: I knew it!
4(2b): Ummm...have we met somewhere before...?
5: Hurry up and get out of here!
6: Ehh?!
7: Sorry, Shin-chan...
8: But I'm more naive and delicate...

78)
1: than you think!
2: Ahh!

79)
1: Watch out!
