Soul Eater 38

This script is the property of myself and Mahou-X, and may not be used for any scanslations by any other group in any language.

We are in need of typesetters! PM if interested

Just an alternate take... Some of the interpretations in the other 38 script are different than how I read it, so YMMV

p.1
[1] What of Chrona, forced to spy on Shibusen...!?
[2] Have you located the place the demon tool is stored? Is the objective complete?
[3] N... Not yet / Then please continue the mission, won't you?
[4] I'm contacting you this time because something important has come up / You remember when I came to Death City to see you, right?
[5] Of... Of course... / When we had that party at Kid's house... In the alley...

p.2
[1] At the time, I felt the large but quiet insanity swirling around Death City... / Soon... It seems it'll awaken... / Knock on wood...
[2] At the same time, something else was entwined within the character of that sensation...
[3] I'm coming to Death City and bringing Eruka along / Something's happening at Shibusen

[1] ...you mole?
[3] Shibusen... / Marie's here too...
[4] I guess it's already over between us... / though I had hoped otherwise... / I guess when it comes to love, I end up wanting to dive into a hole

p.5
[1] Shibusen Girls' Washroom
[2] What's Stein's condition? / He's calm for periods... / but we can never tell when the next fit of insanity is coming...
[3] It could be that Stein's collapse is the also work of a spy... / They're starting an internal investigation in the afternoon / In a manner of speaking, Shibusen itself was damaged, too...
[4] Eh? Internal investigation?

p.6
[1] Your ex-boyfriend Buttataki-san is already here / BUBA*
* gushing
[2] Ohohoho / S.. Sorry... / Squeak squeak
[3] How long have you known!? / Man~~... / Tell me these things sooner!
[4] PON*
* pop
[6] What are you doing, all of a sudden?

p.7
[1] Acting like a fool... / Buttataki-san dump- it's over with him, right?
[2] Yeah!! / PON PON* / What would happen if the woman who was broken up with suddenly became beautiful? Wouldn't it make him regret it!? I want him to regret it!! Is that wrong!? / Shouldn't you focus on moving on?

[1] TOTOTO*

[2] Thanks for coming, BJ / That power of yours to sense subtle soul vibrations... / We're counting on it...
[3] Though I'm really not too happy to see the face of the Internal Affairs investigator / Ow, hot... / I'm sure... / Even though I was originally a technician fighting alongside all of you...
[4] I know I've prepared good coffee and everything, but... / I think it would be best if we started the inquiry immediately / Ah, before that there's something I'd like to ask
[5] What is it?

p.9
[1] The spy that's infiltrated this place... / Is it safe to say it's Arachnophobia's doing? / Is there a chance it's the influence of a third party?
[2] Shinigami-sama and I both think that the spy's linked to Arachnophobia
[3] I took a look at some of the records before I came / Is it conceivable that the spy is connected with the group aligned with that witch, Medusa, who enabled the Kishin's revival on the eve of Shibusen's anniversary?
[4] No, that group's been... / Ah / Wait a moment, please
[5] TON*
* tap
[6] Go ahead

p.10
[2] Uh... / Um... / Stein and I finished her with our own hands / we made sure of it to the point of annihilating her... / Medusa's group is essentially just that, a one man team made up of the witch, Medusa / having lost its leader, there's nobody to guide it
[4] I... / think that's a weak connection
[5] SU*
* lowering
[7] ZUZU* / Understood. I'll drop the idea of a third party's involvement / I'll investigate the Arachnophobia lead
* sipping

p.11
[2] Senpai... / This coffee's pretty good! / Come on now... / Anyone from Shibusen would be able to see through a lie like that...
[3] GACHA*
* click
[4] Begin the internal investigation / We're counting on that "Lie Detecting" ability of yours...

p.12
[2] Name?
[3] Knife Technician Sid Barrett / Shibusen Faculty / My partner is Mira Nygus / My primary mission types are "Assassination" and "Infiltration and Search"
[4] Hm.
[5] Are you a spy?
[6] No!!

p.13
[1] Let's say someone important to you were taken hostage / and the enemy coerced you into becoming a spy / what would you do?
[2] I'd probably pretend to agree to it
[3] There's certainly nobody at Shibusen as well suited to be a spy as you are
[4] But I have no reason to allow myself to be used by an enemy / Even if I were acting as a spy, typically there'd be a chance to rescue this "important person" / There's also usually some way to exploit the enemy's weakness
[5] Excellent / That's quite the textbook answer
[6] Mm... / Ah... Ah... I'm a solid guy / That's the sort of man I was...

p.14
[1] I read the reports about the "Struggle for Brew"... / Sid, during this fight, it appears that you let one of Arachachnophobia's leaders, / Bodyguard Mifune, escape... / Is that correct?
[2] Yes... / That's right
[3] Within Arachnophobia, Bodyguard Mifune has a particularly high combat strength... / Is the reason you let him go / because you're connected to Arachnophobia?
[5] N... No!! / The goal of the "Struggle for Brew" was to gain ownership of "Brew"... / The objective wasn't to eliminate the enemy / GATA* / If accomplishing the mission wasn't the clear priority, I would have taken his life
* emphatic
[6] KYU*
* tug

[1] Excuse me / TON*

[3] Demon Knife Mira Nygus / I'm in the Shibusen staff training institute, currently the acting infirmary doctor / My partner is Knife Technician Sid Barrett

p.16
[1] Do you think your partner Sid could be a spy? / No
[2] During the "Struggle for Brew", when he let the bodyguard Mifune go... / you didn't harbor any suspicion towards Sid?
[3] There's no reason I would / At the time, the retreat order had already been signalled / He was just obeying that order. I also felt that decision was correct
[4] For what reason?
[5] We were the ones in command during the "Struggle for Brew" / If the leader were to disobey an order, the whole squad would fall apart

p.17
[1] I am Death Scythes East Asia and Oceania Chief Azusa Yumi / I am currently responsible for the search for the Kishin
[2] Please have a seat / He doesn't appear to be here today, but Justin Law is also assigned to that mission, correct? / Yes / After the "Struggle for Brew" he was assigned to search for him on the ground
[3] PERA PERA* / When exactly did Justin Law receive this mission?
* flip flip
[5] I was assigned immediately following the Kishin's revival / but as for Justin...

p.18
[1] He was notified of his participation in the search for Kishin on May 22nd / It was the day after we collected the Demon tool - "Eternal Spring", / the power source of the the power source of the Runaway Express, in the Sahara in Africa
[2] How precise.
[3] Have you observed anything to indicate that Franken Stein might be untrustworthy? / Nothing in particular / He's been frivolous, as usual
[4] Also, as Marie Mjolnir has been with him... It seems unusual that he would fall info a fit of insanity so easily...

p.19
[1] Ma..!! Marie!! / Wh... / What is it?
[2] No, nothing / Then, I'd like to proceed with the final question...
[4] Did Marie say anything about me? / Please ask her yourself
[5] I know how you feel...

p.20
[1] Alright, next person / Come in / KACHA*

p.21
[2] PURUPURU* / She's overdoing it...
* stifling laughter
[3] Is something wrong? / N... No... Do you always teach class looking like that?
[4] PURUPURU* / It must be tough on the students... After all, there are lots of young men...
* stifling laughter
[5] PURUPURU*
* stifling laughter
[6] Well / Let's begin / Your name?

p.22
[1] Death Scythes Former Oceania Chief Marie Mjolnir / I am currently a teacher at Shibusen / My partner is Franken Stein / I'm VERY HAPPY to be surrounded by students
-> Note to typesetter: VERY HAPPY should be in larger font
[2] Bzzzt / Wrong answer! That won't work! / Do the opposite and say you're feeling lonely...
[3] Please tell me about the events in the "Struggle for Brew" leading up to Franken Stein's incapacitation by his insanity
[4] Our part in that battle was to enter the magnetic field and obtain "Brew" / In order to get a step ahead of Arachnophobia, I transformed into a weapon and Stein used my ability

p.23
[1] Marie, you and Stein used soul resonance?
[2] Yeah / It was at that moment... / Stein collapsed...
[3] Marie's wavelength calms people's hearts down, so why did the reverse happen? Has her wavelength changed a little since the time we were together?
[6] Hey! / Where are you looking!? / Of course he'll end up looking there when you're dressed like that...

p.24

* shudder

p.25
[1] GOUUUUU*
* vibrating
[2] Can't you feel it, Marie? There's something in the middle of your chest! / What!?

[4] Where!? / Exactly in the center of your chest
[5] Can you burn it to death using "Internal Generation"?

[3] It's out... / You did well, Marie... You worked really hard... Papa's proud... / There, there...
[4] This is your child! / SHUUU*
* smoking
[5] Stein stopped being able to move when he performed soul resonance with Marie... / Is this the catalyst behind the insane fit?
[6] Yeah~ / This little dark thing is cooked beyond well-done / I can't tell what it is / He said our child is a little dark thing! / Our kid is so cute... / Enough with that joke / It really makes me sick / BORORO* / PINKO*
* crumble / * adjusting hair
-> Note to typesetter: "Our kid is so cute..." is the text below and between Spirit's bubble and Marie's
[7] But why was something like that in my body? / The only thing I've put in my mouth is food from inside Death City...

[4] There's no particular lasting effect from Lost Island's magnetic field

p.29
[1] Yeah, so why can't I use Dark Blade mode anymore? / I need the power of the Dark Blade / I don't understand
[2] I just showed you the x-ray, didn't I?
[3] Because you were forcing control over the Dark Blade, your soul's become worn out / Normally, you'd die before it got this bad
[4] I won't die / I'm beyond a god / I ain't "normal"
[5] Stop saying such stupid things / You'll die

p.30
[1] You're human.
[2] You sure are an annoying woman / I've told Tsubaki about this / She's promised me that she won't transform into the Dark Blade
[3] I'm using the Dark Blade / If I stopped, that would really be "death"
[4] BATAN*
* slam
[5] That kid... He intends to walk the path of a demon...

p.31
[1] Any effects from the field?
[2] Not really
[3] There was nothing seriously wrong with Maka or Ox-kun and the others, either / I knew you of all people would be fine
[4] I've got a god's* body... / I don't see why they need to inspect me...
* T/N: He means this in a literal sense, as he is a Shinigami

[1] I'm more worried about Professor Stein than about us
[2] Ah!
[3] GOSOGOSO* / What? What's wrong?
* rummaging
[4] I forgot my notebook in the lecture hall... / Meow / ...C'mon, can't you just get it tomorrow? / If I don't get it and review, I won't be able to face everyone*
* T/N: This girl must have some kind of complex...
[5] I'm going!! / Go home first and boil the rice

p.37
[1] With this, Stein will be trapped here
[2] Try to do it right / You want to stay there in Shibusen too, don't you? / Yeah
[3] They've found the snake that we planted in Marie... We don't know how much longer you'll be able to stay there, Chrona~~
