People:
Don't get close! // Stay back!

News woman:
What happened here? // Let us ask the two gentlemen who have joined us // First, from the Paranormal Research Institute...

Negisawa:
I'm Negisawa...uwaaa, that blasted Venusian (TN: he thinks it was the work of an alien from Venus...lol?)

Professor Tanuki:
Hey, hey! / You there! / Don't say such silly things!

News woman:
And here we have Professor Tanuki

Text outside of bubbles:
Who let these two come?

Prof. Tanuki:
It's plasma, plasma!

Negisawa:
Now, that's just not possible! // But that...


:::PAGE 3:::
Negisawa:
How do you explain that...scar?

Prof. Tanuki:

Gaah, shit!

Sayu:
Thank you.... / ~It's cold...~

Abel:
It's difficult to use the “flying umbrella”...you'll die... // Anyways, protecting the town by yourself is impossible

Hino:
Meke... // Meke did it by himself...

Dehmon:
…I understand how you feel, Hino-kun / Come with me...there's stuff you need to know


:::PAGE 5:::
Dehmon:
Do you know what this is?

Sayu:
Names...a role sheet, or something?

Dehmon:
Close! / These are the Bokke “Position Displays”!

Sayu
Heeeh! / “Emergency Food Distribution”...what, like rice? Oh, “Fire Extinguisher”! I get that!

Dehmon:
Well-

New voice:
The Book Keeper Hissen is a handsome one, eh?

Sayu:
Oooh...wait, what?

Hissen:
Fufufu...


:::PAGE 6:::
Hissen:
Yosh // If they need to know about Bokke, leave it to me, Dehmon

Abel:
Sheesh, Bokke...always crashing in uninvited / ~Ah, I'm a Bokke too...~

(TN: The two kanji on this picture are “North” 北 on the dark part and “South” 南 on the light part)

Hissen:
So why / Are relations between the North and South so bad, eh? // There is a confrontation between the “Traditional South”, who wanted to return to the old days when Bokke were prevalent and refuse to sink into legend among the humans // and the “Adaptive North”, who chose to live in the shadow of humans, existing together, eh?

:::PAGE 7:::
Sayu:
...tradition and... / adaptive...?

Hissen:
To put it simply / Co-existence // Or racial purity (TN: The dark figures with pointy ears have one kanji from “Bokke” on their face, the white figures with no pointy ears have “human” on their face) // It all began with one event, eh // Looking upon the Northerners who had rejected there dignity as Bokke and were living peacefully with humans / One day, the Southern Bokke, who are obsessed with Bokke purity // Burned an entire Northern human village to the ground, killing its inhabitants, eh

Sayu:
Eh!!

Hino:
<<That's horrible!>>

Hissen:
For centuries the flame of their hatred for humans has burned unceasingly! // Now, they desire to consume the entire North, eh


:::PAGE 8:::

Hino:
Something... // As simple as that...


:::PAGE 9:::
Hissen:
T-transforming when angry...he may look quiet, but he's hot-blooded, eh?

Abel:
Ha! Sheesh...

Hissen:
I understand how you feel, boy // But the guy who killed your friend // Is part of the “Yoningumi”...the best of the South / You cannot begin to fathom his power // Just think about his subordinates // Ring and Nanpa, eh?

:::PAGE 10:::
Hino:
=What?=

Sayu:
Eeeh?! / That's crazy!

Hino:

:::PAGE 11:::
Dehmon
Ring is // levels below the Yoningumi!

(TN: The top board says “Yoningumi”, the middle board on the second row says “Nanpa”, and the middle board on the third row says “Ring”)

Dehmon:
And the amount of Bokke... / Right now, 95% of Bokke are concentrated in the South...

Sayu:
Haha...95%...that's almost all... // B-but, 5% are in the North, right? // Lots of different ones...

Hissen:
Yeah... // There's the skilled water boiler, “Chari” // The building shaker, “Ienamazu” // The one who likes fortunes, “Omikujionna” // And I am pretty good at writing...

Sayu:
This is no good...

Hissen:
Boy, reality is harsh, eh?


:::PAGE 12:::
Hissen:
There's only a couple of use who can fight // With that, saying you want to protect the town...

Hino:
Yes // =That's right=

SFX:
(Hino's head) Pasa // Parara

Hino:
All the more / if there is no one else // =Meke...=

Hissen:
I see...

Dehmon:
Hah...okay // I guess we don't have a choice, Nekogami Hino // Back to the town!

Hammer:

Hmmm...Mimi-chan is in danger, even at the police station... / ~What should we do?~
