BOX: Shoot…

TV Bottom-right: 12 people missing
B1: The number of people gone missing in Kusumoto town has risen to 12… // And the police are suspecting some sort of connection between the cases---….
B2: That’s alarming… // so nearby. #”it’s so up close”

BOX1: My chest hurts… // and I can’t breathe easily,
BOX2: My heart is beating faster and faster.

BOX: Aah…
BOX: I realized.


Page 03
BOX: This sensation… // it’s deadlier than death…!
B1: Kanae-kun…

B1: We are alone together…♥
BOX: This is… // love♥
< Cling >
{ Kya- I said it }
{ Umm… }
B2: What is up with your field of vision!?

B1: {Gee---z } Why are you disturbing us! // We’re on a precious date!
{ grumble grumble }
B2: Can you not change the purpose of this meeting on your own? #or “Can you stop changing…”

B1: Were you listening to the reason why I called you here today, Asuma?
B2: {Ah} I remembered.♥ // You wanted to know the characteristics of the one who attacked me!
< Twitch twitch >
{ Well, well }


Page 04
B1: U-m that’s right… // Shidow…
B2: Yeah, he called himself “Shidow”. // He was a hectic guy who would cry out in the middle of the streets.

B1: …I see.

B1: That makes our job much easier if he stands out like that. ♪
B2: !
B3: Riri-chan, can you tell us he’s outer appearance as descriptive as possible?

{ It’s a laptop }
B1: ? // Sure…

B1: {Alright} Guess it’s something like this.
B2: Are there anything else that stood out?


Page 05
B1: ….Ah!

B1: That’s right, he also said….

B1: he’s looking for the “Crushers”!
B2: I wonder what it is. Is it some restaurant?

B1: …?

B1: Hu- // Huh? Something wrong?
B2: Thank you Asuma

B1: Sorry, but can you go home for today?
B2: Eeh!!?
< Doom >


Page 06
B1: I want to be together a bit more…
< Depressed > #I can’t think of a better word…
< Sway // sway >
B2: There’s the thing from yesterday, // so call me right away if anything wrong.

B1: Also…
B2: don’t forget the promise.

B1: I’ll be checking your body every day, okay!

B1: { Eh eh eh!!!} No way!!! I’m not ready!!!
{ I think that kind of stuff }
{ should be done after we get to know each other more}
B2: Your neck and wrists!
B3: We promised to never commit self-infliction ever again.

B1: {Ah}…. //
B2: Since it goes against my “justice”.


Page 07
B1: Hey! // Kanae-kun,
B2: why are you so passionate about “justice”? #”obsessed with” is more correct, but I think it doesn’t fit the context since she’s not trying to insult him or anything.

< halt >

<? >

B1: ….
B2: A certain person…

B1: the one I revere the most…
B2: was like that.


Page 08
< BRrrr…. >

B1: The person Kanae-kun reveres the most…
B2: Wonder if it’s a guy or a girl // I don’t want it to be girl…
< mumble mumble >

B1: Ah // my heart’s beating again… #more direct TL is “Irregular pulse again”, but it doesn’t seem right, so…
B2: Yikes, I’m gonna die…♥

B1: Aah…
B2: I wanna know everything about Kanae-kun…

PAD: I’ll be back ♥// -Noa

B1: The memory loss thing’s getting more and more suspicious…
B2: Moving in just with “I’ll stay here for you” // How far is she planning to go….!? #far/rampant/spoiled(?)

B1: Even yesterday when I escaped the prophecy of killing Asuma,
PAD: Congratz
B2: … was all I got from her …

{ But…}

{ Noa might be my only trail…} #trail/clue
{ towards THAT PERSON who suddenly vanished from my life… }

B1: !?

< Flip >
PAD: Actually, I’m evacuating because it’s a bit dangerous. #hazardous/dangerous/risky

PAD: Tasuku’s favorite “Evil” will be coming here soon.

B1: Phe…phew. How misleading.
B2: Sorry, but // just to be safe, I’ll pretend that I’m not home for today…

B1: Brrr….

< rattle rattle >
B1: !?

B1: Whaaatt!!?

B1: Even though I told you that there’s a package,
B2: how can you pretend that you’re not home, // Kanae-san. #word distribution is a bit awkward for these bubbles, but hope it works out for the typesetter.

B1: See, you are home ♥ #or “you are here”


Page 14
B1: ERGH

B1: …Ufufu ♥

B1: How should I know?
B2: Squeeze
B3: Argh

B1: I don’t have a slightest clue on what you’re saying, but… // there’s nothing I have to say to “evil’.
B2: Gyaaaa
B3: Water… // waterrrrr!!!

B1: { Yeah} It’s slightly beyond our expectations, but it’s not a problem // let’s go on as we planned before.


Page 18
B1: …As expected,
B2: someone hunting for the “Crushers” has surfaced….

B1: How amusing. // A villain that takes control of other people.
B2: It’s a completely insane story, but // since that is the case, we just have to move with that setting in mind.

B1: Since he looked down on us,
B2: we have to make him pay a million times. ♥


Page 19
B1: You’re right…
B2: He’s an absolute “evil” that tried to destroy a large number of lives.

B1: Since he’s looking for us too, then it’s actually a good deal for us.

B1: Shidow…
B2: we’ll crush him tonight.

B1: Us “Crushers” will
B2: enforce “Justice”!

B1: …Construct a montage using Riri-chan’s information.

B1: Then gather up the past few days’ worth of visuals from security cameras around this area.
B2: Pinpoint the target’s location and movement. // Hack into that building’s systems and initiate the malfunctioning of the sprinklers.


Page 24-25
B1: As usual, not only are your plans reckless, // your treatment of the operator is so violent. // Our princess.

B1: Since I’m taking care of all the damages, it’s more or less acceptable.
B2: Also, // I, at the very least, appreciates your skills. So be grateful, Yuugo. #I had loaaaads of suggestions for this part, so I hope you can come up with a better one. (P.S. this one phrase is from Lollipop)
