Ninth Night: Key and Eye
(Even if it's for survival, the taste is important too!!)

Page 02

They aren't coming back...
If wonder if they are alright..
Guess they're hiding scared on a tree,
because that dog attacked them again?

Page 03

Wh-
What's with that glare.
You think it's alright // to give me that look?
! // Ah...
Right, right.
We're close
friends, aren't we?
...

Page 04

Kyouka-san.
Even between friends, there are things you can say and things you can't. // Everyone is worried about Shiina and Co.
Anna-senpai...
...
Well,
hiding on a tree is better for them.
Once the sun is down, it's too dangerous to get close to the bus.

Page 05

Seeing as they come out every night, // they are definitely after us.
Especially you, Kyouka, should be careful. (They remembered your smell, didn't they?)
----...
I get it..!
But...
it sure is strange.

Page 06

These dogs haven't
appeared yet.
I wonder if it's related // to these big claw marks...
Yawn----

Page 07

*acchoo*
(A sneeze after a yawn)
(A sign that Yuki will be really mad at me)
It's my first time sleeping on a tree, // but I feel safe here in the bird's nest.
Mm. // What's that, Jessica?
It was in the notebook.
It's a triangular paper to catch butterflies and the likes.

Page 08

After you caught one, you keep it inside the paper // temporarily, so it's wings don't get hurt...
! // These blues wings!
Gelasia=Papilionidae // It's your "Fossil Butterly". // Though this one doesn't seem to be a fossil---

Page 09

The "Butterfly" mentioned in the notebook might also be that Gelasia something...
Why do you think so?
When we came here, there were lots of them flying outside the bus, right?
!

Page 10

Was it really the same one?
You won't find others with these colours and form so easily. // So I think it's the same one.
Is that so...

Page 11

A phenomenon that occurs over and over
can be explained as a inevitableness that overcame coincidence. // Some call it "Jinx" or "fate",
but there's more of a derivation from just the result and open to interpretation. I don't like that.
(Hey,)
(Some difficult stuff again!!)
But---
Key...
Eye...?

Page 12

I wonder // if we can take that in their literal meaning.
*grr*
*grrr*
*grrr*

Page 13

Their
numbers increased?
*grooo // owl...*

Page 14

Or decreased...?

Page 15

*pling*
Eh.
Ehh!?
Why... // It got a good signal...!
Ah. // While it got a signal, we gotta...

Page 16

Aw.
*pling*
*pling*
Aw.
Aw.
(Out of range)
Aw----
It's gone again... // Sorry... I couldn't send anything---
Can't be helped. It was too short.
Anyway, even though it got a signal, it was only so shot. // So if we assume that the signal comes at random,
we better prepare a mail beforehand.
Yeah. // !
(1 new mail)
A mail...!!

Page 17

We got a mail!
Seems they thought of the same idea. // As expected.
Expected?
Please hurry and save up a mail. // Your cell is the only one that ever gets a signal.
Yeah.
A blanket, // some tools... a knife..
and a first-aid box.
...We'll borrow this.
Also, // Zoi-chan too.

Page 18

We'll take her with us.
Oh right. // The bird also should---

Page 19

Page 20

What's up?
Wah.
Ah.

Page 21

Doesn't look like they will come with us.
It might think she's better of with her own kind.... us humans.
Zoi-chan looks so sad...
Kururu...

Page 22 [I got a bit teary T_T]

---<3
Ah.
Ah <3

Page 23

I'm worried about them.
Anna-senpai.
I'm sure they'll be back soon.
We have to take care of their preparations for the moving too.
Ah... Right...
Besides,
?

Page 24

we'll be in trouble, if you don't work hard, Izumi-san.
...?
I only don't know which fruits are good or not.
Nor do I know how to store them...
So I'm counting on you.
Okay...
Sure...!
That Izumi. // She has been quite cocky after coming here.
And Anna-senpai is dotting on her all the time too...
Stop complaining and help me out.

Page 25

Are you telling me to "mix in"?
Aw, // aww, so boring.
We're back!
We brought a troublesome gift.
Her name is
Zoi-chan!

Page 26

A girl! // So there was one after all!!
She has been living here all alone // after her parents died.
Must have been hard for a little girl like her..
Wha!
What's this...
A chick of the bird. (Probably a Moa one)
Seems she stranded on this island long ago.
Long ago...?
(Be surprised) 1943
...Eh. // What the...

Page 27

Ayu, your cape...
Sorry, Sis.
I lend it to her.
Ah, but I haven't been exposed----
Its okay.
You're a good kid.
Nothing less from a boy.
Then, Sis... // I have to make her some proper clothes.
....

Page 28

Anyway,
now that we're all here, let's get going already.
(Oh my, oh my~)
(A girl can't run around naked!)
Eh, we only just got back... (Listen to me. So much happened...)
You can tell me while we're driving.
Well, yeah...
Yuki.
Why are you in such a haste?

Page 29

In the end, these dogs didn't appear at all.
They gave up...
Guess not. They're pretty persistent...
Keep this a secret. // On the side of the bus is an even bigger claw mark than the one from the dogs.
!
They might be too scared from that to get close.

Page 30

Basically,
an even dangerous one than them
might be lurking around here.
[Right Side] Is it already too late!? Before they move to a safe place, a dangerous escape will take place!!
