Final Magic: And the future...

Page 02+03

AH----!! // You're still sleeping after all!!
Final Magic: And the future...
C'mon, wake up already, Naoki-kun!
Mm----

Page 04

Ah, it's just, Nanako-chan. // Morning.
"Morning" my ass.
You have work and cram school today, right.
Hurry and take a shower and get ready.
Sure----
It's been 5 years since then.
Nanako-chan and me become lovers // and spend a fun high school life.

Page 05

----But I failed my university entrance exam. // Not being able to attend the same university as Nanako-chan
I started my repeater single lifestyle this year.
When you're done, put the plates into the sink.
...
Ah, I won't drop by tonight, // so bring a lunchbox with you.
Eh?
I have a drinking party with my circle from university.
So I think it'll get pretty late...
...

Page 06

Hmpf
?
You seem to enjoy university....
!
I- I didn't mean it like that...
It's fine. Go have fun.
I'll just study my ass off
and then get to my back-breaking work.
H- Hey...
....

Page 07

....
Idiot...
"Gah, drinking party my ass"
"It's just harassment towards me who failed the exam"
Is what was in my head for a moment. // At the same time
I was shocked at myself to have such thoughts.
To grudge my girlfriend, who I had for 5 years... // I'm the worst...

Page 08

Returning 52yean.
Thanks for your patronage---
My feelings of love // for Nanako-chan are
still unchanged.
Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hair... // her bright and kind personality, her cooking, I love it all.
Gyahaha
....
This weeks issue is epic!!
U- Umm, Katou-kun...
Huh?

Page 09

It's about to get busy now, // so shouldn't you be checking the shelves?
Huh?
You do that.
Eh?
N- No, // I'm at the register...
(Hahaha)
HUH!?
Ya got a complain!?
As the boyfriend of my beloved Nanako-chan,
I don't get respect from 16 year old high schoolers // at my working place, and get even threatened...
...

Page 10

So pathetic...
...
....
Iroha-chan...
You'll be fine without me now!!
I'm sure you can change the future!! // I believe so.

Page 11

Maybe in a different appearance, // but we'll surely be born into this world!!
And then, we'll come to see you again!!
....
Sorry, Iroha-chan... // I can't face you...

Page 12

Huh---
What are you skipping here for, Rikka-kun?
N- No... Well... // I just got an important call...
I see..
Well, I won't tell the boss...
So you know...
could you lend me a bit cash?
...
M- Money?
I lost big at pachinko yesterday.

Page 13

Right now there's this girl in the shop who wants to go play with us. // But I don't have enough money on me right now.
I'll pay you back next month.
I- In the shop...
They're picking up costumers...
Hey, // Please, Rikka-kun.
...
C- Can't be helped. // But be sure to pay me back...
Yeah, yeah, I will!
Kuh... A youngster is asking me for money... // Just how much do they look down on me...
(Yay)
L- Like I said, I don't want to...
Aw, C'mon. Don't be like that.
?

Page 14

Our shift is over soon. // So let's hang out together!
B- But...
I-
Iroha-chan?

Page 15

P-
Papa...
Papa!!
PAPA---!!
Iroha-chan!!
(Waaah)
Iroha-chan!!

Page 16

You damn idiot!!
Guah!?

Page 17

W- What? // Why would you hit me!?
You have to ask!?
You promised to change the future,
but it turned into something unbelievable because of you!!
Eh?
Hey, hey, what's this, Rikka-kun...
We set our eyes on this girl. // Don't go stealing her.
Right, Ribbon-Girl...

Page 18

SHUT UP!!
AGG----!!

Page 19

....
I- Iroha-chan... that power...
Yes..
It's not magic, but ESP...
basically supernatural powers!!
Super...
Supernatural powers!?
Because you became lovers with Nanako-chan // it turned out that magic isn't discovered...

Page 20

but your entrance failure // created a crack in your relationship with Nanako-chan.
And because you didn't repair that, you two broke up after 4 years even though you had a kid...
Ehh!?
That triggered your self-despair...
and you turned into good-for-nothing...
...
And one day, // you got drunk on some cheap beer
(Gyaha)
(Who cares about Nanako!)
and fall down the stairs of your apartment...
And by hitting your head
you awakened it.
?
The mysterious power sleeping in the human brain... // The ESP power!!
I- It's totally messed up...
And after that // you have been doing what you want with that power...

Page 21

that in the end, all females in the country became your bride // and you created a country beyond shame!!
I- It took a turn for the worse...
To prevent that... // I once again came here!!
Get home right now and study for the exam!!
Y- Yeah...
...
I'm sorry, Iroha-chan...
?
I'm always causing your trouble...
...
But...

Page 22

I'm really happy
that we get to meet again.
Idiot...
?
Geez--- Even I---
are totally happy to see you again!!
Heh...
?
That was your goal after all, // Iroha-neesama.
R- // Reika-chan!!

Page 23

You also came here to change me?
Don't be stupid.
With my attained ESP powers
I once again came to become the Queen of this planet! Ohohoho!!
Ho----!?
We won't let you, Reika!!
Saki-kun!! Emily-chan!!
Now you have done it, you tomboy!
Don't call me tomboy!
...
Hey.. Stop it, girls. // The shop...
N- Naoki-kun...

Page 24

....
Nanako-chan...
Here, you forget your lunch box.
I thought you might be hungry, so I brought it over...
...
---Eh, what happened here...
The shop is a total wreck...
Nanako-chan...
!!

Page 25

I'll become stronger...
For my beloved you...
Yeah... // I understand, Naoki-kun...
I don't know what the future will be like, // but that feeling
came straight from my heart.
I think the girls crossed time once again, // to remind me of this feeling.
---I won't allow that. // Father will build my dreamed of Esper Empire with me!!
Guys!! Get them!!
Iroha-neesama, leave this to us!!
Okay!

Page 26

Okay, let's hurry out of here. // Hurry, Papa, Mama.
Eh?
Ah...
Mama? // Papa?
?
?
Eh, Ehm---
Well, somehow it turned out like that in the future. // Nice to meet you again.
EHH----!?
----Guess, I don't know...
(Mahou no Iroha!!)
what the future will be like after all.
(Mahou Iroha - End)

Extra Iroha!
Hello, I'm the author Inoue Kazurou.
Thank you for reading Mahou no Iroha.
It was a short serialization of 1 year, // but I learned a lot from it.
(Proud)
For example?
Like a monthly pace of more than 18 pages.
(Ah, damn)
(I finished the name in 18pages!!)
Or like handling a schedule for a different magazine..
(Seriouslyyyyy?)
(A hell I don't want to remember...!!)
(Managing 3 series in 1 month)
That's just your mistakes.
Every human makes mistakes.
You more than others though.

Page 29

D- Don't ruin my reputation!! // Where do I make more mistakes!?
You don't know?
At the beginning you were going on about how you want to write a "Magical Girl" story,
but in the end it turn into SF!!
W- What nonsense are you saying!! // It's a perfect magical girl story from beginning to end---!!
(Wahaahahaha)
----You're right <3
...
You still lack training, Kazurou!!
(Fofofofo)
WHO!?
(See you again!)
