HOT ROAD
Tsumui Taku

Pg 4:
//vrooommm//
Kazuki: (There was a small article in the newspaper a week ago,
that mentioned how the leaders from five gangs were rounded up and arrested.)
//vrooom vrooomm//
//clank//
Kazuki: (I don't know
if Tooru-san
was able to get away,
or if he was arrested.)

Pg 5:
[on the far left reads: HOT ROAD]
//slide//
Kazuki: (Ever since that day,
Haruyama hasn't said much...)
//clank clank//
Kazuki: (he's spends his time being by himself...)
//clank clank//
Guy: Yoo---!
Check out the chick buying Oden! [Oden=boiled egg, radish, konnyaku, etc. are stewed in this soy-sauce like broth]
She's pretty hot!
[the label reads "Rocket Fireworks"]

Pg 6:
//thud//
//bubble bubble bubble//
//clank clank clank//
Haruyama: Could we get more eggs?
Kazuki: Are you going to be able to eat them?
Haruyama: Yeah, it's okay as long as it's boiled.
//bubble bubble//
Haruyama: Could ya put 6 in?
Woman: What?
Kazuki: HAH?
[SL: Woman: It'll take a bit of time...will that be all right?]
Haruyama: I'm gonna have three,
Haruyama: you get one,
Haruyama: and Hiroko gets two.
//bubble bubble bubble//

Pg 7:
//bubble bubble//
Kazuki: (I wonder
what
Tooru-san meant to Haruyama.)
Guy: Look, there she is!
Aww, damn. She's got a guy with him!
//clank clank//
//vrooommm//
Kazuki: Where's your other bike?
Haruyama: I ain't gonna let no girl on it!
Haruyama: Ah...I just laughed.
Kazuki: Eh?
Kazuki: What?
Haruyama: Nothing.

Pg 8:
//vroom vrooomm/
Kazuki: (I want to tell him)
Kazuki: (I'll follow him
wherever he'll go.)
Haruyama: Oh yeah.
Haruyama: Did you phone home?
Kazuki: (But I can't say it.)

Pg 9:
Haruyama: Call her already.
Kazuki: Whattt. I don't want to.
//vrooomm//
Haruyama: Call once we get back.
Kazuki: (I can't say it because...
I feel so powerless...)
Haruyama: Hiroko---
we bought some fireworks---
Kazuki: (Hiroko-san lost more weight recently.
It's really hard to watch her like this.)
Kazuki: (They didn't talk about Tooru-san at all.
I can kind of understand why he's worried about her, more so than ever.)

Pg 10:
Kazuki: (Haruyama
cut the inside of his mouth because of the fight he got into last time.
Because of it, he can't eat much.)
[SL: Haruyama: Haha, I don't know where it's gonna go]
[SL: Haruyama: What if it goes into someone else's house? Haha]
Kazuki: (I don't know the things that happened in the past)
Kazuki: (between them and Tooru-san.)
Hiroko: Haha.
Haruyama: Call already.
Hiroko: To home?
Haruyama: Yah.
Hiroko: Why don't you?
She's...probably worried about you.
//snap snap snap//
Kazuki: (I'd forgotten about my home.
I don't even remember what the inside of my room looks like...)
//snap snap//
Kazuki: (or my mom's face...or voice...)
//swish//
//snap snap//
[sl: Haruyama: Whoa, watch it go! Shit, that's awesome!]

Kazuki: (I don't know.)
Kazuki: (I don't know what adults are like.)
Kazuki: (My mom
can go on living without me.)
Kazuki: (Because she has "Suzuki-kun",
she can go on living without me.)
Kazuki: So...that's how it is...
Kazuki: right....
//swish//
//snap snap snap//

Pg 13:
//clank clank//
//whistles//
//whistles//
Kazuki: (Why is it)
Kazuki: (that humans can't go on living alone?)
Haruyama: You've got problems of your own to handle, eh?
Haruyama: Haha! Shit, I laughed again!
Kazuki: Why do you keep saying that?
Haruyama: No reason------
Kazuki: You little brattt!!
Haruyama: Hey hey, don't take your problems out on me!
Haruyama: Got it---

Kazuki: NOOOOOO!
Haruyama: You don't have a fuckin' choice!
Kazuki: I don't want to go to schooolllll!
Haruyama: Don't be such a fuckin' brat!
Kazuki: Shut up! Don't act like you're my dad!
//OW//
Haruyama: Fucker! Who do you think I got up this early for?!
Haruyama: Come on!
Kazuki: NOOOOOO
Hiroko: Hey Haruyama, if she doesn't want to go, then why force her?
Haruyama: That's exactly why you dropped out of school!
//snap//
Haruyama: Oh...my bad.
Hey, you pissed off Hiroko, apologize!
Kazuki: I'm sorr---
Haruyama: Let's GO!
Kazuki: NOOOOO---!
[SL: Haruyama: Hiroko---hand me your school uniform---!]
Kazuki: (Damnit.
Why do I have to go to school anyways?)
//VROOMMM//
//owwwwww//
//ow ow ow ow//
Haruyama: Hey, don't say I didn't warn you!

Pg 15:
Haruyama: I'm gonna hate you forever~
//heh//

//clank clank//

Kazuki: Where
Kazuki: is my class?
//Ohhhhh!//
//Whoaaaaa//
//clank//
//Miyaichi!//
//Miyaichi-san!//
//clatter//

Pg 19:
//vrooomm//
//thump thump//
Kazuki: (The truth is...I'm more worried about Haruyama
than about school, or the stuff going on at home.)
Kazuki: (I feel like...
it would be really dangerous to leave you alone.)
Teacher: Miyaichi-san, are you listening?!
Teacher #2: What's with that school uniform?!
Teacher: What happened to your own?
Kazuki: I...lost it somewhere...
Teacher #2: Don't you go start acting smart, young lady!
Kazuki: (Yesterday, Hiroko-san got called out by the police,
and she came back with her cheek all swollen up.)
[SL: Teacher: Did you contact home...]
Kazuki: (So Tooru-san hasn't been caught yet.)

Pg 20:
Teacher: Go in from the back.
Your seat's the one by the window.
//noise noise//
//clatter//
[SL: Teacher: Come on now, what're you guys up to?
Guy: Whaaa?]
//noise noise//
Guy: Heyyyy! You finally decided to show up, huh, Miyaichi-chan?
//haha//
//clatter//
Girl: Ah...
Girl: Ah...
Girl: Thank you....
Kazuki: (My first class as a grade 9 student was homeroom...
they were talking about the upcoming field trip...)

Pg 21:
Kazuki: (I wonder what Haruyama's doing...)
[upper left text reads: HOT ROAD]
Kazuki: (I'm glad
Eri's made a lot of friends.)
Eri: Heyyy if you were gonna show up, you could've told me, ya know!
Eri: Let's hang out after school, okay?
//pour//
Guy: Teacherrrr, it's dark in here! Turn on the lights!
Teacher: Why don't you turn it on yourself?
//click//
//whoaaa//
//it's so brighttt//

Kazuki: ("I don't want to have to look at your face anymore!")
Kazuki: ("Why.....did you...")
//pour//
Kazuki: ("end up like this....")

Pg 23:

Teacher: Miyaichi-san's
not feeling very well right now.
[SL: Teacher: If you all don't behave, it's gonna rain when it's time for your field trip!
Student: Whattt no wayyyy!]
Kazuki: Old hag.
//splash//
//splash//
//sprinkle//
Teacher: Your mother was saying how she had something very important to discuss with you.
Teacher: She was asking if you could let her know how she can contact you.
Teacher: You're mother and daughter. If you two talk it over, I'm sure you'll be able to understand each other.
Kazuki: ("Something important"...?)
Teacher: If you make an effort, then---
Kazuki: (It's probably...
got something to do with that guy finally getting divorced,
and wanting to remarry...)

Pg 24:
Kazuki: (For that to happen,
she needs my answer.)
Teacher: You're a smart girl, so if you think about it even a little bit, you should understand.
Kazuki: ("My mom can live
without me")
Teacher: I heard you've been hanging around with a motorcycle gang...
Teacher: you know how much trouble this is causing everyone, don't you?
//kyaaa--! kyaa---!//
Teacher: You're not doing anything good, you understand that, don't you?
Teacher: Because you don't have a father...
and you live alone with your mother, I can understand how you might want to rebel a little
Teacher: and...I understand that you've gone through some extremely difficult moments
Teacher: But the person who's hurting the most because of all this,
Teacher: is your mother.
//clank//
//gulp gulp//
[bottle reads "Stomach Medicine"]
//sigh//
//tap//
//see yaa!//
//kyaaa! kyaaa!//
Teacher: Say...something.
Kazuki: (My mom
can go on living because Suzuki-kun's by her side.)

Pg 25:
Teacher: Miyaichi-san...
Teacher: won't you say something?
Kazuki: (Haruyama's...
alone...)
Teacher: Why?
Teacher: Why did this happen...
//fight-o! fight-o!//
Teacher: It was only a little while ago
that you were singing along with the rest of us in chorus club...
//fight-o! fight-o!//
Teacher: I...don't understand...
Teacher: Owww...
please, tell me why.
Teacher: Miyaichi-sa...nn....
Teacher: And you had...
Teacher: so many friends...
Kazuki: (I'm the one who doesn't understand,
so why are you the one crying?)
Teacher: I...
Teacher: ---about you....
Kazuki: (Why are you the one crying?)

Pg 26:
Teacher: I...don't understand....
//rustle//
[letter reads:

Kazuki
I put some of your clothes inside this bag.
If you could let me know how to get a hold of you--
[it gets cut off then]]
//thud//
//hahaha//
Eri: Whoaaa! You're scaring me, Kazuki---!
//hahahahaha//

Pg 27:
Kazuki: What about your friends?
//fight-o! fight-o!//
//noise noise//
//whistle//
Eri: Don't worry about it. Oh yeah, everyone's been wanting to talk to you---
Eri: but they're a bit scared of you.
Eri: I told them that they were morons for being scared!
//fight-o! fight-o!//
Eri: The truth is...
these past two months...
it felt like you were drifting further and further away from me...and I hated it
Eri: Ever since you became the girlfriend of the head of the gang...
Kazuki: He's not the leader yet...
Eri: Don't...become too scary, okay?
//fight-o! fight-o!//
Eri: Don't go somewhere I can't reach you, okay?
Kazuki: I
Kazuki: won't.
//fight-o! fight-o!//
//fight-o! fight-o!//

Pg 28:
//rustle rustle rustle//
//rustle rustle//
Eri: But I feel...
like something might change by you being the girl of the gang's leader...
//whistle//
Kazuki: (Ever since the day he got into that fight,
Haruyama's been riding alone)
Girl: So Hiroko-san got left behind?
Guy: Yeah.
Girl: That's so sad!
//noise noise//
Guy: And we dunno when Bakutou's gonna make their move.
//hey heyyy!//
//hahaha//
Guy #2: The guys at the main headquarters are all saying that they won't let Haruyama do whatever he wants.
Guy: I wouldn't mind giving him a chance
Guy: if he's serious about becoming the head~

Pg 29:
Guy: but ya know how he is.
Guy #2: Yeah, I can't keep up with 'im.
I wanna stay alive, ya know. //haha, ya think?//
Guy: He really likes fighting---
Guy: When he stayed over at my house, he heard this guy saying there was a fight going on outside,
and he ran outside with shampoo still in his hair.
Guy: But it turned out to be some elementary brats' fight
//HAHAHAHA//
Guy: Ha...
Guy #2: That group....
Guy: I heard they beat the hell out of the guys at first,
and only let in those that can keep up.
Guy #2: That's probably why there's only 15 of 'em.
Guy: Is he....
Guy: going to do it...?
//vrooommmm//

Pg 30:
//vrooomm//
//SLAP//
Guy: OW!
Guy: HARUYAMA!
//Heyyy! Lookie! This one's a winner~free Big Mac!
Idiot!//
Kazuki: (Ah...)
//vroomm//
//Does he even know we're tryin' to ignore 'im?//
Kazuki: (No, don't go...)
Kazuki: (I'm not the same as them)
Kazuki: (I won't abandon you)
Kazuki: (I won't abandon you, Haruyama)

Pg 31:
Kazuki: (He's going to leave me..)
//wheeze//
Kazuki: (Like Tooru-san...
Haruyama's...
going to...)
//wheeze wheeze//
//vrooommmm//
//vrooom//
//wheeze//
//vrooom//
Kazuki: (Whee...ze...)

Pg 32:
Kazuki: (I want to tell him,
I'll stay by his side)
//wheez wheeze//
Guy: You're...serious about him?
//wheeze wheeze//
Guy: What do you wanna say to him?
Guy: I'll pass the message on.
//wheeze//
Kazuki: I...
Guy: Yeah?
Kazuki: When I'm with him I...
//wheeze//
Kazuki: can never just be...honest...//wheeze//
I can never say what I want to say...
Kazuki: (I want to tell him I'll follow him wherever he'll go)
Kazuki: He...probably hates me...//wheeze//
Kazuki: I told him...
Kazuki: I wouldn't cry, and I---
Kazuki: always end up crying....//wheeze//
Guy: He's always saying shit, but in the end he always has a girl with him.
I think it's because he's lonely.

Pg 33:
Guy: If he doesn't have a girl,
he really only has us and his bike.
Guy: I said some stupid stuff to you before...
Guy: but I think...you're not "the girl who won't cry"....
Guy: this time, he's chosen someone who'll stay by his side no matter what. That's what I think.
Guy: But ya know,
he always gets mad at me
for being too full of excuses---
Guy: Everyone probably feels
Guy: the same as you though.
//We're looking like the morons----
Yeah, and he's the retard---//
Guy: Since a long time ago, he's done shit no one else would ever think of doing.
Even when he thinks it's dangerous he just goes out and does it.
Seeing him do that kind of stuff makes me fuckin' pissed, but jealous at the same time.

Pg 34:
Guy: Yeah, but sometimes I think,
Guy: just once
Guy: I wish I could...be like that...
//vroom VROOMMMM//

Haruyama: You? 22 times.
Guys: NO WAYYYY!

Guy: What're you...

Haruyama: I don't wanna talk about 'em.
//vrooommmm//
Guy: But...
Haruyama: I'll say this only once, but I'm really into riding with the NIGHTS.
If they're trash talking about us, I'm not gonna stand there and do nothin'.
//vrooommm//
Haruyama: So there's nothing you can do to stop me, ya hear?
//tap//
Guy: What're you embarrassed for?

Pg 36:
Guy: You might think it's annoying for me to say this again,
but...don't make Kazuki worry too much.
//vrooom//
Haruyama: No sweat.
Haruyama: I'm planning on breaking up with her anyway.
Guy: What?
Guy: W-What did you just say?
//Heyyy! He's finally here!//
Guy: H-H..ey!!

Tell him I'll be waitin' for him at the Chigasaki parking lot at one.

Guy #2: Tell 'im he can bring as many guys as he wants
//vrooommmm//

//So did you get one hit in or what?

They haven't come and said anything, so yeah, you probably didn' get him
When I thought

it was blood...
Whoa, that's scary as shit!
Fuckin' brutal!//
Guy: Ah...

Pg 63:
[upper left reads "HOT ROAD"]
Kazuki: (My strength...)
//Geez, when are ya ever gonna learn?//
Guy: He was saying shit like he was gonna break up with her,
Guy: and he goes chasing after her like that?
//Haha, and he probably like fuckin' wiped the blood again---//

Pg 64:
Haruyama: Heyyyy!
Haruyama: Kazuki.
Kazuki: (My strength is totally drained...)
//vrooom vrooommm//
Kazuki: What?
Kazuki: I don't care what happens to you anymore.
Kazuki: Just go somewhere else!

Pg 65:
Kazuki: (I feel light-headed...
I feel light-headed...)
Haruyama: What's...with you
Haruyama: What's your problem!
Haruyama: So...
Haruyama: you're gonna....
Haruyama: go....
//thud//
Haruyama: and leave me alone...
Haruyama: too....

Pg 66:
Haruyama: ...Ow.
Kazuki: I--
Kazuki: I---
Haruyama: Don't talk so loud.
Haruyama: It fuckin'...
Haruyama: hurts...
Kazuki: Did they hit your head?
Haruyama: I got cut in the back of the ear, and I had to get an X-ray done.
//splashhh//
Haruyama: And the doctor's slapping me on my ass
Haruyama: even though I got bruises there too.
//ahaha hahah//

Pg 67:
Haruyama: And they got me
Haruyama: on the arms
Haruyama: and legs
Haruyama: and stomach...
Kazuki: What did you do...after you went there?
Haruyama: I ran away.
Haruyama: I wanted to get one good hit in to the guy who looked like the leader
Haruyama: then I was plannin' on runnin' away---

Pg 68:
Haruyama: but they got me and they just beat the shit out of me.
Haruyama: Don't laugh, baldie.
Haruyama: It's because...you said shit like...
Haruyama: how I was gonna die...
Kazuki: (It feels strange
that he made it out alive.)
Haruyama: I'm not enough of an moron to think I can take on 15 guys.
Kazuki: You're an idiot...
Kazuki: I can't stand this anymore....
Kazuki: I don't want something like this....
Kazuki: to happen ever again...

Pg 69:
Kazuki: I...can't....
Haruyama: Don't cry.
Kazuki: I'm not!
[SL: Haruyama: Oh, really?]
Kazuki: Promise
Kazuki: me...
Haruyama: What?
Kazuki: that you'll never
Kazuki: try to pull a stunt like this
Haruyama: I can't promise you that
Haruyama: I HATE being ordered around
Kazuki: It's not an ORDER! I'm asking you to make a promise!
Haruyama: How long are ya gonna be pissed at me? //It's getting fuckin' annoying//

Pg 70:
Haruyama: Okay, let's just say I agreed.
Haruyama: What are you gonna do if I can't keep that promise? You're not gonna like that, right?
//vrooommm//
Kazuki: I won't talk to you then!
Haruyama: Oh, from when?
Kazuki: Now!
Haruyama: Haha, let's see you try! Bet you can't!
//snap//
Haruyama: You won't be able to, I know it.
Haruyama: Because
Haruyama: you
Haruyama: really like me. Am I wrong?

Pg 71:
Kazuki: Don't touch me, idiot!
//HAHAHAHA! What a friggin' idiot! I win! Retarrrddd!//
Haruyama: You dug your grave, now lie in it!
//blush//
//ah...ow//
//my head's pounding...//
//ha!//
Kazuki: I could say the same for you!
Haruyama: I'll let you off this time,
Haruyama: but next time you try to stick your head in where it doesn't belong,
Haruyama: I'll get fuckin' pissed for real.
Kazuki: (Haruyama)
Kazuki: What're you trying to act all cool for? [SL: You're such a retard!]
//Whatttt!//
Kazuki: (was acting as if what happened with Bakutou was some kind of big joke.)

Pg 72:
Kazuki: (but)
Guy: They're definitely gonna come around again
Haruyama: Sorry Richard, I got some place I gotta go
take her home, will ya?
Richard: Yeah, sure.
Kazuki: (he's letting it get to his head)
Richard: Where ya gonna go? There? [emphasis on "there"]
Haruyama: Yep, there [emphasis on "there"]
Richard: Are ya gonna be okay?
Haruyama: Yeah, I'll be fine.
//Come on, let's go already--!//
Kazuki: (because things with Bakutou didn't end up all that terrible in his eyes...)
//vrooommm//
Kazuki: Where is he going to go?
Richard: Huh?
Richard: Oh---no where.
//vrooommm//
Richard: Oh yeah, are you crashing at Tooru-san's place?
Kazuki: Ah...they're searching his house right now
Kazuki: (Tooru-san's still on the run)
Kazuki: since it'd be bad if they found me at his house, I'm staying at Eri's...
Richard: Whoa, they're going through those kind of lengths to find him?
Richard: Well, I did hear others saying how he went around doing some pretty fucked up shit
Richard: even though he was always pretty strict about what those under him did

Pg 73:
[top left reads "HOT ROAD"]
Richard: You
Richard: and Hiroko-san...

Kazuki: (I got to know Eri's friends...)
Girl: I'm sick of exams already...
//yawn//
Girl #2: I don't wanna talk about studying---
Kazuki: (and it'll be Summer break soon...)
//noise noise//
Teacher: Ah---Miyaichi.
Teacher: You'll spend your summer studying at school
//chuckles chuckles//
Kazuki: (What!)
Teacher: Hmmm~ but let's see! You'll be able to make up the time you spent away from school by spending JUST 40 days of your summer!
//AHAHAHAHA//

Pg 75:
Kazuki: (What's his problem...)
//blush//
//Hello. It's time for your lunch break news--//
Kazuki: (My 15th birthday is coming up soon)
Girl: But you've got it great Kazuki--!
Girl: You're so free!
Girl: Me? My parents decided what high school I'm gonna go to,
Girl: and I think sometimes like I might spend the rest of my life walking on a balance beam my parents set out for me.
//meee too!//
Girl: And like, I don't have your guts to do stuff like run away from home,
or steal bikes
Girl: or bleach my hair.
Kazuki: ("You're not being...nice enough to your hair..")
Kazuki: That stuff...
Kazuki: doesn't take guts to do.
Kazuki: I won't do that kind of stuff again.
Kazuki: And I'm gonna stop bleaching my hair.
//Whattt! No wayyy! Whyyy!//

Pg 76:
//You should do more stuff like that!
You know, for us! Because we can't!//
Girl: Hey, hey, but remember how like a while back, alot of people were like, committing suicide?
Kazuki: That's not...
Kazuki: courage...
Girl: But I think it takes a lot of guts to go through with it, you know?
Girl: Because I know that like, I'd be too scared to do it.
Girl #2: Yeah, but---
Girl #2: to throw away your life like that's---
Kazuki: That's....
Kazuki: not courage at all!
Guy: Argghhh! I can't stand it anymore!
Guy: Who the hell do you think you are anyway?
Guy: Who died and made you Queen?

Pg 77:
Guy: You think being in a motorcycle gang
Guy: makes you some hot shit?!
Girl: Hey, what's your problem---!
Guy: Say something, Miyaichi!
Kazuki: I
Kazuki: never said that.
//thump//
Guy: Yeah, you didn't but you sure do act like it!
//thump//
Girl: What're you trying to say, huh?
//thump//
Guy: What's so great about guys who ride around town and cause trouble?!
Guy: My grandma can't sleep during the day because of construction,
and at night the motorcycle gangs wake her up with all that noise!
//thump//

Pg 78:
Guy: It's really sad, you know! And she's got a bad back too!
Girl: What does that have to do with anything?!
Guy: You don't know stuff like that, do you?!
//Cut it out already!//
//thump thump//
//And you guys're always the one to start yelling!
Ya think we're gonna be scared of you because you're yelling?!
You guys're the ones who're shaking in your boots!
You're yelling more than us!//
Eri: Sorry I kept you waiting!
Eri: Heyyy, what's going on?
//Gyaa! Gyaa!//
Eri: Hey, you know on the 19th? Let's celebrate your birthday at my house!
Eri: It'll be fun, okay?
//My old hag said she's gonna bake you a cake---!//

Kazuki: (makes my heart beat faster...)
Haruyama: Whoa, this baby makes some pretty sweet noise
Guy: Yeah, so lend me your 4FOUR
Haruyama: I'll let you ride on the back.
Guy: Whatttt!
Haruyama: The geezer from the gas station...
Haruyama: told me the next time I try to pull something and someone calls the police, I'm gonna get the axe
//Haha, so FINALLY that's gonna happen, huh?//
Kazuki: (My heart beats faster...)
Guy: Hey, is it just me or did you get more cuts since last time?
Haruyama: Haha, I just started to like the bandages---
//hahahaha//
Richard: Let me guess, you went to the main headquarters to give your greetings and they did that to you?
Haruyama: Retar--
Kazuki: Eh?
Richard: Ah!

Pg 80:
Haruyama: Why are you always the one to spill the beans?
Richard: Sorry---!
Guy: You don't know? The "I'll get NIGHTS" incident?
Eri: But wasn't the main headquarters really mad about senpai?
Guy: Haha, they're not anymore. They've kinda given up, I guess you could say?
//shut up!//
Guy: He went to the headquarters and said to the six guys in charge "I'm going to take care of NIGHTS"
Guy: And they're all just like laughing
Guy: they told him "Fuck this, do what you want".
Guy: 'Looks like they're gonna be riding on their own now.
Kazuki: (He's done all this without me knowing anything...)
//To put it in other words though, they cut ties with 'im, right?
Geezzz! Well I guess there's nothing we can do about it//

Pg 81:
Guy: Yeah, but that group's got a lot of people who're gonna quit anyway, right?
Kazuki: ("Don't try to stick your head in where it doesn't belong")
Guy #2: Yeah, they were saying how there's no point in staying if Tooru-san's not here
Guy: That means that the numbers are gonna drop, right?
Guy: When's the first meeting gonna be?
Haruyama: It's still gonna go ahead as planned.
Kazuki: (Haruyama's drifting further and further away)
Guy: Anything you wanna say to them before then?
Haruyama: "If you wanna come, come. If you don't, then don't"
//Haha, whoaaa! Pretty gutsy words there, my man!
What if they really didn't come? Haha!
Haha, yeah it'll be fuckin' hilarious if only you guys showed up//
Guy: Ah, I spot with my little eye...cops.
Guy: Shit, they're heading our way.
//slam//

Pg 82:
Guy: You girls go hide somewhere.
//thump thump thump//
Haruyama: Get on the bikes and wait.
Cop: What're you doing?
Cop: Good boys should be in bed by now.
Eri: Kyaaa! This is so exciting!
Cop: Is this the only bike you got? Whose is it?
Huh?
Where's your helmet? Is this it?
Cop: How'd the others get here?
Guy: By foot
Cop: Don't lie.
What's with those bandages?
Haruyama: I accidentally fell
Cop: [SL: What?!] You gotta be more careful!
//thump thump//
Cop: Are you guys going to the gang meetings 'round here?
Guys: Noooo
Cop: There's gonna be a big one around summer, isn't there?
Guys: We don't know
Cop: Show us what you have in your pockets
Guys: Whattt!

Pg 83:
Eri: Hahahha
//Whyyy! Why do we have to do that?
Enough with the chit-chat, just do it!
Whatttt!//
Eri: They're so cute, they're like little kids!
Kazuki: Y..eah....

Kazuki: (he always looked like that...)

Mother: The education guidance teacher said he could
Mother: note where Kazuki's going, and find out where she's staying.

Pg 86:
Mother: but he said...finding out her whereabouts that way...
Mother: will just make the situation worse...
Guy: Yes....
Mother: I can't understand...
what's going through her head.
Mother: I don't know
who she's eating with, or who she's with,
Mother: or what she's doing right now.
//Go around from the back!//
//Whattt! From where?//
//thump thump//
Guy: Right now, Kazuki-chan might be see frightening things as
Guy: a thrilling fun time...

Pg 87:
Guy: Because there are so many things she doesn't understand,
Guy: like the difference between right and wrong, and the true meaning of life and death
Guy: she might be thinking that just doing fun things means everything
Guy: But I think, Kazuki-chan...
Guy: and others, even those not in a gang, go through something like this at least once in their lives.
Guy: For the adults, it's very scary, and it's true if they make one wrong step, it might end very badly, but
Guy: in all their lives,
Guy: the opportunity to run towards something without caring for anything else
Guy: might be in just that one moment.

is drawing to a close.)

Pg 91:
Haruyama: Huh?
Kazuki: (It's embarrassing as it is telling him about my own birthday. If he isn't listening anyway, might as well not repeat hat I said...)
//ha//
Kazuki: Nothing
Haruyama: Hey, I heard your birthday's tomorrow?
Haruyama: Eri was saying so.
Kazuki: (Oh, so he knew already.)
Haruyama: Wanna go to Yamashita park and eat some takoyaki?
Kazuki: Takoyaki?
Haruyama: Okay, I'll buy you some yakisoba.
Haruyama: My birthday's November 1st. Don't forget, al'right?

Kazuki: (She felt like he abandoned her.
Everyone felt like he abandoned them.)
Kazuki: (That's the kind of face everyone was making.)
Kazuki: (It was the first time
I thought of Tooru-san as a bad person.)

Pg 94:
Haruyama: Hey...what time is it?
Kazuki: I don't know.
Kazuki: I guess it's around midnight?
Haruyama: Oh....

Haruyama: I gotta get to.
Haruyama: Take the taxi to get back to Tooru's place

END OF CHAPTER 10

Pg 103:
Kazuki: (For the annual meeting,
they were doing something called a photo assembly too,
so there were people there who usually never came, and even people who'd retired from the gang.)

Eri: Because like, you guys've only been living together for a like week, right?
It's probably the first time he's lived with a girl, so---

Pg 128:
Kazuki: (He's my teacher)
//flutter//
Kazuki: (but from the very beginning, I haven't liked him)
Teacher: Well there you go. If you set your mind to it, you CAN do it!
Teacher: You're just as Sasaki-sensei, your teacher from last year, described you as.
Teacher: So why won't you try to put in more effort all the time?
//miiin miiinnnn//
Kazuki: Because I don't want to
Teacher: ....I see
//click click//
Teacher: Sasaki-sensei wasn't able to teach the grade 10 class

Pg 129:
Teacher: because of the things that happened with you,
Teacher: and because others were saying how a new teacher like her wasn't cut out for it
Teacher: They were saying how she always took stomach medicine that did her no good--
//miiinn miinnnn//
//clank//
Teacher: I'm popular because the students' parents believe I do well at getting along with my students
///miiinn miinnnn//
Teacher: but I don't think I'm limited to just that.
Teacher: My good point is, that I try to make an effort to understand each and every student.

Pg 130:
Teacher: There is nothing more complicated than trying understanding another human being.
Teacher: That's why we make mistakes.
Teacher: We may at times even unknowingly hurt the other person.
//flutter//
Teacher: Sasaki-sensei told me that you're a girl who has a strong sense of justice
Teacher: You might've gone through hardships
Teacher: with your mother, or teacher, or friends,
Teacher: but I think it'd be best for you to make an effort again to try to understand thenm

Pg 131:
Teacher: You might be the one who's only looking at what's on the surface
//miiinn miinnnnn//
Teacher: Why don't you try to
put yourself in Sasaki-sensei's shoes?
Kazuki: (It's too hot....for me to listen to a word he's saying)
Teacher: Too hot to listen to anything I have to say?
//miiinn miinnnn//
Teacher: Well that's okay. We have plenty of time to discuss this.
Teacher: Even though you might not be too happy about it, I am your teacher.
//flutter flutter//
Teacher: Ah---Miyaichi!

Pg 132:
Teacher: This is the money you were saving to go on the field trip. You never ended up going, did you?

Doctor: It's okay to be a little rich once in a while, but since it is that time of year,
you should be more careful

Pg 139:
Mom: Yes...
Doctor: Well, it's not a terrible case---
Doctor: Give her some medicine, and once her fever's gone down---
Doctor: she most likely won't be able to eat anything for 2-3 days
Doctor: so once she gets all that out of her system
Doctor: come here again for a check-up.
Kazuki: (Haruyama....)

Pg 151:
Kazuki: (had my eyes only on him)
//miiin miiinnnn//
//hahaha//
Kazuki: (Because of the food poisoning,
he kept on throwing up any foods he ate for a week, and he couldn't go outside at all.
But because there was the biggest meeting of the summer that day,
he flew out the door)

Pg 152:
Kazuki: (Ever since that day, he hasn't come home in 3 days)

Guy: Roger that.

Eri: Hey, what're you doing about the medicine?
Kazuki: Haruyama's getting it for me
Eri: Oh yeah, since you aren't living at home right now
Kazuki: (Within the gang, there were some subgroups I got along well with, and some I didn't.
During the summer, since everyone's all over the place, I couldn't tell them apart)
Kazuki: (so I just said hi to everyone)
//I heard you both got food poisoning!
HAHAHAHAHAH
That's hilarious!
But Sayuri-san, you should've seen them----
AHAHAHAHHAA//
Sayuri: This is my friend---she's an ex-Silk member

Girl: Nice to meet you!
Kazuki: (Not too many people knew I was the girlfriend of the head of NIGHTS)
Sayuri: Oh yeah----
I don't know how I should say this, but like, you really shouldn't go wandering off on your own.
You should always stick close by to people you trust

Pg 155:
Sayuri: Just recently---
Sayuri: I heard some stuff about how this guy in NIGHTS dragged a girl out somewhere, and roughed her up pretty bad
Sayuri: It can be pretty scary---
Guy: You weren't fooling off somewhere, were you?
Guy: Oh...sorry.

Teacher: have you ever seen anyone die?

Kazuki: (Stuff like that...)
Teacher: Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Kazuki: (won't reach my ears...)
Teacher: Just because you're young isn't an excuse to not know anything

Pg 176:
Kazuki: (That has nothing to do with me)
Teacher: You, and everyone else,
Teacher: have the ability to understand if you put your mind to it, but you're just pretending not to be able to
Kazuki: (It feels amazing
riding a bike---
I can see nothing but the headlights...)
Teacher: Don't think you'll be let off the hook just because you say you don't understand
//THUMP//
Kazuki: Then...
Kazuki: What the hell...are you teaching us?
Teacher: Please...take better care of your body
Kazuki: (The stuff that you people say...aren't reaching my ears)

Sayuri: Hop in.
Guy: What the fuck're you planning on doing about it?
Guy: They're doing whatever the fuck they want. It's because you're always going around doing your own fuckin' thing that they're copying you
Guy #2: What're they pissed about?
Guy: These underlings roughed up some "Sekidan" group or some shit like that,
and they ended up having connections with "Bakutou"

Pg 179:
Guy: Whoa...you mean "THE"...
Guy: Senpai! Is Bakutou really bad news?
Guy: You be quiet
Guy #2: You're not fuckin' stupid enough to think you can take on "Bakutou" the way you are right now, do you?
Guy #2: You're gonna get fuckin' bulldozed
Guy: Geez...what's he all so riled up about? They already went out and did it, so what can you do? [SL: Don't ya think?]

Kazuki: "Your mother
went home after bowing her head and telling me to please take care of you"

that your mother
is waiting for you"
Kazuki: "You won't be lonely because you'll be with Eri, right?
Woohoo Kazuki, this is gonna be great
Eri!

You're still a brat if ya go around doing stuff like that
Guy: Well, don't sweat it. We've got your back now.

Eri: Leave us alone already, druggie!
Shigeru: Whattt I'm not high! For real this time---!

Pg 208:
Shigeru: Haru-san told me to quit NIGHTS
Shigeru: so I feel kinda sad about it, but I'll do it
//Yeah, and like---Haru-san decided that...stuff like drugs weren't gonna be allowed in the gang anymore---
so now, if they catch you with something---you'll be in some deep shit----
and I heard stuff about how like, the guys from the main headquarters are back with NIGHTS---
and everyone's all quiet now---
Haru-san's hardly ever here anymore, he spends all his time at Yokohama----
he's still really cooll-----
but I don't know...he's kinda really scary now...that it's hard to talk to him...
and all the senpai are saying like how much he's changed....//

Guy #2: Oh..so she knew I was talking about her?
Girl #2: No duh!
Woman: If you don't want to come to school
Woman: then don't bother coming!

Pg 212:
Woman: Get your act together!

//Don't be so hard on her, teach!
She's pissed because the Giants lost the big game!
Well, she shouldn't take it out on her!//
