Medaka Box 48

page 1

box1) The abnormality that came about during the wrong era.
panel1) The story of when Yukuhashi had yet to don a mask.
box2) If you think about it, it's pretty rare to have a phrase fit Yukuhashi Mizou this much.
box3) If at the very least, // he was born 1,000 years ago...
box4) His ability to 'read people's minds' would, without a doubt, have made him king of the world.
box5) If he only handled a few people at a time,
box6) his abnormality would shine like a god's.
box7) However, // he was born in this, the 21st century.
box8) Where technology continues to improve, and lots of people gather in one area. // So Yukuhashi's ability to feel the electric currents of the people around him are like...

page 2

-I was dreading translating this page, only 2 find out, it's gibberish. Leave it as is for the best effect. No one is supposed 2 understand it.-
box1) Along with the people there, he could also easily feel the currents of radios and cell phones. // Being born in this stressful time made it impossible for him to adapt to his surroundings.
box2) Whether he closed his eyes, blocked his ears, pinched his nose, or shut his mouth, it didn't help. // The ONLY way for him to avoid receiving the signals was to peel ALL of his skin off.

page 3

box1) The only good thing he had going for him... // well, // I wonder if you could even call it good.
box2) Was that he had the disposition to endure all that.
box3) Within the sea of electric waves, he didn't break or crumble.
box4) Yukuhashi's mind just slowly decayed.
panel) Why was I born during this era? // Why was I born with this abnormal ability? // There wasn't a day that passed where he didn't ask those questions. // However, those questions would get lost in the other thoughts that poured in his mind, and he began to think they weren't his own questions.
box5) He led such an irregular life of boisterously thinking of nothing, // that one day,
box6) and quite suddenly at that,
box7) everything got quiet!

page 4

b1) You...
b2) can read minds, can't you?
b3) Then I permit you to tell me,
b4) What is the great Oudo thinking right now?

page 5

box1) All the minds that were there at the time got quiet. // No, // they were all overwhelmed by his.
box2) Even the machines that aren't supposed to have a mind, // were overwhelmed by his, Miyakonojou Oudo.
box3) That was the first time in his life that Yukuhashi Mizou had experienced it: silence. // It was something that he had given up even hoping for; however,
box4) it was such a violent silence.
box5) Also, Miyakonojou himself was also a very quiet man. // His mind was hauntingly silent.
box6) There was only one thing that he was thinking about, and that was:
panel) "ME" -I hope u can tell by the picture, he was only thinking of himself.-

page 6

panel1) He was too self conscious of himself. -yeah, it makes no sense. If u have a better way of putting it, be my guest.- // This classmate of mine thought WAY too much of himself. // It was almost sickening how he wasn't bothered in the least with the things around him.
panel2) Yukuhashi, who was ready to drown in the sea of electric currents. // And this man, who was apparently his antithesis.
panel3) Oh, that's what it was.
panel4) I was born in this era to meet this man. // An abnormal bond!! // My abnormality was made specifically to understand him.
title) Within the entire party, you're...

page 7

b1) Yukuhashi-senpai, if you're going to surrender, this is your chance. // I just thought of a plan to beat you with.
b2) There's a glaring weak point to your abnormality.
b3) Sigh, you still haven't learned huh? // You THOUGHT up a plan against someone who can read minds?
b4) That's called a useless struggle in the adult world.
box1) He said that while trying to play tough,
box2) but since he can read minds, he knew that she really did come up with something that wasn't just a bluff.
box3) He could tell that she had 'something' up her sleeve that she was preparing.
b5) Dammit...
b6) I can't make any sense out of it.
box4) However, // because of her anger, fatigue, and sleepiness, her currents were in a mess and hard to get an accurate read on.
panel1) Dammit, provoking her to inhale the sleeping gas is coming back to bite me. // When it comes to this girl, whatever I do seems to have the opposite effect.
box5) One of Yukuhashi's weak points is his ability to understand everything.
box6) He's even able to read down to the most minute of intentions, so at times like that, he needs time to filter out what he doesn't need.

page 8

box1) As you would expect, Kikaijima has noticed that one. // That's why, before he can finish filtering,
box2) Or better yet, before she gains a steady control of her emotions, she needs to put her plan in action.
panel1) I'm well aware that I need to take action before these swirling thoughts within me settle down. // The problem is, can I really do this?
black bubbles) badum (heartbeat)
panel2) Even if I do it, I might fail. I might be wrong about his weakness. // But the biggest problem, is that I'm scared. // The thought to turn tail and run is ringing throughout my head.
panel3) But...
panel4) HOWEVER!!
panel5) I'm the student council treasurer, // Kikaijima Mogana!

page 9

panel1) She took a deep breath of the sleeping gas without second thought... No! // She's going to spit it back out!
panel2) Is it the voice cannon? Or is it the hyper soprano? // Dammit! She's still trying to decide as she's taking that deep breath. // Whatever, she'll probably decide right before she opens her mouth.
box1) Because she got stuck trying to decide which to use,
box2) She ended up not being able to choose, and used both at the same time.
box3) She used her pitch scream along with the cannon,
box4) and aimed at the ceiling.

page 10

box1) What came to her mind at that time,
box2) was the battle between Hitoyoshi Zenkichi and Munakata Kei.
box3) Kikaijima destroyed all of the light fixtures in the ceiling,
box4) and made it rain glass shards on the floor.
b1) Sto... /// STOP!!!
box5) Yukuhashi's scream was way too late.
box6) It's a little wrong to call it late. What happened is he finally finished filtering out her thoughts, and was able to read what she had in mind. // That's why it was quite easy for him to avoid the falling glass.
box7) However, it wasn't her intent to attack Yukuhashi with the falling glass...

page 11

box1) Her aim was to
box2) hurt herself with the glass.
b1) ugyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

page 12

box1) The one who screamed and fell...
box2) was NOT Kikaijima, // but Yukuhashi who didn't get touched by a single glass shard.
b1-3) haa
b4) uhn... // ugh...
b5) gah
box1) Being able to 'Read Mind's" // also means the ability...
box2) to feel // when someone is in pain.

page 13

b1) When I heard that you could read minds, // I thought something was strange.
black bubbles) haa
b2) Because when I tore off my nail to over come the effects of the sleeping gas, you, who's supposed to be able to read minds, were surprised.
b3) But I found out why you were surprised quickly. // It's because the shock of pain from me ripping off my nail was sent directly to you.
b4) In fact, with how in tune you were in that situation, // you felt more pain than I did.
b5) As proof, half way through the fight you started to look like you were in poor shape.
b6) It wasn't just because of the pain, my anger, sleepiness, and fatigue were all passed on to you, right?
b7) I thought it was cowardly of you to use sleeping gas. // However, making us fall asleep without thinking "I'm tired" was the only way for you to handle us.
b8) The different provocations you used were in an attempt to make me lose my will to fight. // I can say this assuredly now,
b9) that that was because you're a person that cannot fight or hurt other people.
b0) You might laugh at me... // You called yourself the cornerstone of the 13 party, but...
b1) Within the entire party, you're...

page 14

b1) So sweet.
b2) Your abnormality is...
b3) so kind and sweet.
b4) A person's sadness and pain, // you take as your own and understand it all.
b5) I would bet my life on it: // you're the sweetest person in the entire world.

page 15

b1) So please understand where I'm coming from.
b2) I beg of you, // let us go save Kurokami-san!!
panel1) Sigh... so in the end, // my abnormality's biggest weak point shows up. // It's not the pain or the filtering.
panel2) Whether it's a strong will, or there's no guile, or a person who's very direct, // once I realize that the person's feelings are their true unadulterated feelings, // I sympathize with them, and lose my will to fight.
panel3) That's right, my weakness is // that I get moved easily by other people's feelings.

page 16

b1) Hey, hey. Why are you letting that swimsuit girl move you like that?
bubble sfx.) crack
b2) Seriously, you're almost like an animal that loves the person that feeds it.

page 17

b1) Neither tears, // nor friendship, // nor self sacrifice!
b2) You're not allowed to be moved in any way that isn't directed to ME!

page 18

panel1) I can tell who he this is without him saying anything. // But why is he coming up here?
b1) eh heh heh heh. // I have nothing to say in my defense.
b2) You really saved me there. // I was about to change sides there.
b3) Nothing will come from you thanking me.
b4) Seriously, // this is why I warn you to keep your face hidden.
b5) Please excuse my failure. // btw, why are you up here?
b6) What about brainwashing Kurokami?
panel2) That's right! Why is this guy here? // If he's here, does that mean that Kurokami hasn't been harmed yet?
b7) Oh, about that...
b8) I've finished brainwashing her.
b9) So I came up here to call you. // Right now, Naze is checking to see if things went right.
b0) But you're the one who's best at seeing a person's mind, right?

page 19

b1) Are you kidding me? // You said it takes 1,800 seconds to do...
b2) That's half an hour! // And you're saying you're done already?
b3) Fool.
b4) Even if it takes 30 minutes to do, do you really think I'D take 30 minutes?
lef of panel) An already bad situation... // just got a lot worse!!
b5) I'm the king who's always surpassing...
b6) ME.
