Medaka Box 47

Whoever said better late than never must not have been waiting on a weekly manga, right? Sorry for the lateness.

This is for CxC's use only.




page 1

b1) As luck would have it, I'm in need of a treasurer.
b2) Would you like to help me?
panel1) Medaka and Kikaijima...
box1) It was because of that little offer, // that I left the swimming team and became a member of the student council.
box2) And although she said that to me,
box3) at first I thought the near perfect superhuman Kurokami Medaka didn't need me for anything.
box4) However,
b3) Treasurer Kikaijima...
b4) I'm going over the score of the inter-club swim meet to hand out the correct funds...
b5) But what exactly does...
b6) the baseball team do?
box5) There are times
box6) when the things she says makes her sound like an absolute fool!

page 2

box1) Under normal circumstances, you'll understand something like baseball by just reading a book.
b1) Oh! It's the one where you kick the ball around right!
b2) NO! You use a bat to swing at a ball.
box2) How is it she made it this far not knowing something so common?
box3) Of course if you explain she understands immediately and can do it just as quick.
box4) But the problem is she doesn't understand these things unless someone explains them to her.
box5) For example, she didn't know what an amusement park was.
b3) Amusement park?
b4) You mean the place where they have dolphins go through hoops for your amuesment?
b5) ...that's an aquarium.
box6) Hitoyoshi-kun and Akune-san just said that such things aren't necessary for someone as great as she.
box7) However, I couldn't think along those lines.
panel) It's not that her magnificent personality of looking over people and their bad sides keeps her from things like this, // it's that since everyone around her thought of her as a sacred being, // I thought that no one ever bothered to teach her anything.
box8) So one day, I gathered my courage and asked her out to an amusement park, // and my thoughts became facts.
b6) Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

page 3

b1) THIS IS FUN!
box1) She's the same age as I am,
box2) a regular
box3) 15 y/o girl.
panel1) That's why // you guys are going to pay for this!!
panel2) I have no idea what this FLASK thingy is, // but there's no way in hell you're going to ruin a girl's life because of it!! // Kikaijima's thoughts are overflowing!!
title) You're all fools!

page 4

box1) Is // what I'm reading from Kikaijima Mogana, treasurer of the student council.
b1) hmmm...
b2) This isn't good.
box2) Is what Yukuhashi Mizou was thinking.
panel) Reading minds. // Just so you all know, THAT is the keystone of the 13 party. And it's the abnormality that 'rabbit labyrinth' Yukuhashi Mizou was born with.
box3) To tell the truth, it's not really reading someone's mind, but reading their emotions.
box4) When a thought is made, or someone is going to move, electric signals are sent. // And Yukuhashi can feel and understand those signals.
box5) That's why you can't call this ability telepathy.
box6) In fact, Yukuhashi is more like a transceiver for electric waves that a person emits.
box7) Since Yukuahshi is a natural antenna that can feel and accept electric waves,
box8) it's also possible to make both man and machine bow down to him.
-I wish the author would say what it's sex is so I don't hafta write out yukuhashi each time and put him or her.-

page 5

box1) That's why B12 was made to look like an arcade with the latest advancements in video games.
box2) Yukuhashi spends his (yeah if it's a girl, sue me) time polishing his transciever skills here.
box3) FYI, the mask that he's wearing is also for that very reason.
box4) In an attempt to focus his skin receptors, he reduces his field of vision as much as possible.
b1) This is really a problem... // I didn't think of any defenses for this girl at all.
panel1) Just because I can read people's minds, doesn't make me a fighter. // And to be honest, I don't want to fight it out with someone who has an athletic scholarship! // Right now she's moving on emotions alone, but if she calms down, she'll end up waking those three who are still asleep.
panel2) As luck would have it, the sleeping gas is still present. // I need to make her more emotional and get her to take in some more of the gas.
b2) Kikaijima-san,
b3) from what I can see, you stood up for Kurokami Medaka. // But is there really a need for you to do that much for her?
b4) You said that she was a normal girl, right? // You're probably the only person in the world that thinks that.
b5) Treating that beast as regular human is the dumbest thing I've heard in years.

page 6

b1) SHUT UP!!
b2) hnggh...
b3) fuha!?
panel) A voice... // cannon!?

page 7

b1) Don't you dare speak...
b2) badly about my friend!!
box1) He read Kikaijima's feelings towards Medaka correctly. // His plan to: make her mad, have her speak out of anger, and thus breath in more gas, worked to perfection.
b3) hnggh...
box2) However, Kikaijima's anger and lung capacity far surpassed Yukuhashi's predictions.
box3) Kikaijima's lung's, which are allow her to swim 250m without taking a breath,
box4) would be considered my many as a weapon!
box5) To make matter worse, unlike the time on B1, this time she projected her voice in a specific direction.
box6) Using her throat and mouth as the barrel, she her voice together without making it disperse. // She fired it straight at Yukuhashi's body: unlike with normal sound, in a straight line and it didn't vibrate either.

page 8

box1) But, this 'scream' by Kikaijima, which was nothing more than exploding anger, was a successful attack, but a failed method. // No matter how you look at it, a voice is a voice. There's only so much damage it can do.
box2) If she had just yelled normally, she might have woken up those 3 on the ground next to her.
box3) But her biggest mistake was:
b1) Ah...
b2) uhhg
panel1) Oh no! // I'm getting slee...
b3) I can't read impulsive actions either, so I was quite surprised, // eh he he!
b4) But, whether it's talking or yelling, you're going to need to breath to do either of them!
panel2) Yeah... her signals are getting weaker. // It's proof that she's falling into a deep sleep. // It took me a while to do, but now I've taken care of all that would get in Oudo's way...

page 9

b1) UGAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
panel1) Her fading consciousness just woke back up!? // No! The feeling I'm getting from her is different...
panel2) What on earth did she do?

page 10

panel) She ripped off her fingernail.. // and overcame the sleeping gas through pain.
b1) Kikajima-san, why are you pushing yourself so hard?
b2) The last time I said all that just to get under your skin, but this time I'm asking for real. // Why are you pushing yourself so hard?
b3) You only got to know Kurokami recently, right? // You're not like Hitoyoshi-kun or Akune-kun who's known her for a long time.
b4) In fact, you two were enemies when you first met. // So why are you putting yourself through so much just for her?

page 11

b1) Because I haven't known her for long, I can't worry about her?
b2) Because we were once enemies, does that mean we can't get along?
b3) Don't think it's just you abnormals // who don't betray a friend once one is made!!
b4) eh heh heh // I see, that's what it is.
panel1) Her signals and her words match. She's the type that doesn't lie much. // I was most weary of Hitoyoshi-kun,
panel2) but it looks like she's the most dangerous person to me. // I need to finish this before she notices the weakness to my already weak abnormality.
b5) Although I'm the competitive type,
b6) I'm not the type that likes fighting.
b7) BUT IF IT'S FOR A FRIEND,
b8) I'LL FIGHT!!

-Yay! a page with no dialogue!-

page 13

b1) WHA!? The shards of the broken glass...
b2) They're all heading right at me!!
box1) Unlike her first attack where she used all the air in her lungs, this time her plan was // to use a high pitched wave to break the glass around her,
box2) and use that glass as an attack. // For someone who's not used to fighting, this was a well thought out plan.
box3) However,

page 14

b1) Just like I knew you would.
box1) unlike her impulsive 'scream', a thought out 'yell'
box2) would be read by Yukuhashi, and of course countered.
box3) Think for a second about his abnormality of "reading minds". // Although not many, there are people who also have an abnormality of that level, but Yukuhashi Mizou was chosen for the 13 party.
box4) Neither of them are suited to fighting, // but he stands head and shoulders above Kikaijima in this fight.

page 15

b1) eh heh heh! It would appear that even you have reached your limit. // Stop trying so hard, and just take a deep breath.
b2) After screaming so much and in quick succession like that... a normal person would have suffocated by now.
b3) By now you're starting to question it, so I'll let the cat out of the bag, // I can read minds.
b4) Whatever it is you plan, // I know all about it!
box1) The reason Yukuhashi said what his ability is now, // was to take full advantage of the person knowing that he could, and to get Kikaijima to stop resisting.
box2) But there was another reason he did this,
box3) And that was,
box4) because he couldn't go any further without saying something that was nagging at him from the time Kikaijima stood up.
b5) Oh yeah,
b6) there's something I think I really should tell you:

page 16

b1) A person can only truly be friends...
b2) with someone else when they're standing on even grounds.
b3) In other words, you and Kurokami...
b4) never had a chance in the first place!
b5) For starters, we abnormals live in a different world from you normals. // Under normal circumstances we would never even meet.
b6) It's true that Kurokami is in a bad situation right now. // Her memories were erased, she was captured, and is having her mind over-written.
b7) But,
b8) That doesn't mean the likes of you should even think of trying to rise up and rescue her.
b9) You shouldn't worry about her.
b0) It's wrong for you to get along!

page 17

b1) Don't get me wrong, even in class 13 there are ranks. // I really like Oudo, but i've never once thought of him as a friend.
b2) Being lonely is the first prerequisite of a king!
b3) Did you know that Hitoyoshi-kun...
b4) Says he wants to always defend Kurokami-san.
b5) And as for Akune-san, there was a time when he hurt Kurokami-san,
b6) so he's trying his best to do something for her to make up for that.
b7) I think both of them are pretty cool for wanting to do that, // but even though I feel that way,
b8) the both of them are simply treating her as a special being.
b9) What on earth are you getting at?
b0) I've never heard anyone before complain about treating something that's special with special treatment.

page 18

b1) IT'S BECAUSE EVERYONE IS LIKE THAT,
b2) THAT KUROKAMI-SAN IS ALWAYS SO LONELY!!
b3) HITOYOSHI-KUN AND AKUNE-SAN, // YOU TOO, // EVERYONE! YOU'RE ALL FOOLS!!
b4) BECAUSE YOU ONLY TALK ABOUT AND SEE HER AS SPECIAL, // YOU DON'T KNOW HER TRUE FEELINGS AT ALL!!

page 19

b1) ...Her true feelings...
b2) You make it sound as if you know what they are.
b3) I do know!
b4) Even without the ability to read minds I know. // I'm her friend!!
left of panel) Because we're friends... // My feelings keep getting stronger!!
b5) The very first thing she said to me was:
b6) "Please help me"!!
b7) I'm going to put a stop to you!! // And go rescue Kurokami-san!!
b8) And this time, we'll ALL go to the amusement partk!
b9) I'm going to stop trying... // Even though we're on even ground,
b0) I don't think I can ever become friends with you!
