Here's my 3rd, and final 4 the week (c:
Enjoy... the Mets' game is going to start soon.


pag 81

b1) It really
b2) isn't working.

page 82

title) She's a fox, Ahem. And he's...

page 83

b1) What's wrong?
b2) Aren't you going to...
b3) I can't.

page 84

b1) Huh?
b2) ...already knew.
panel) Kouta-kun is rejecting me!
b3) I'm sorry, its all my fault.
b4) Its okay, its okay.
b5) I'm enough for someone like Kumada.
b6) But this is a duel that I accepted.

page 85

b1) So I should...
b2) NO!
panel) This is a fight between youkai... a fight between monsters!
b3) I'll be honest with you, a normal human like you would only get in the way.
b4) So just wait here for me, I'll finish off Kuma-kou before you know it.
b5) Afterwards, // lets go on a date, this time in the city.

page 86

b1) Chizuru-san!
b2) I'm...
b2/5) I'm not rejecting you or anything.
b3) Yeah, I know...

page 87

b1) So it didn't work huh?
b2) Give it a rest, if you can't possess him, then it doesn't involve us.
b3) The one Kumada wants to fight is a combined Kouta and I, so it does involve me.
b4) This is a duel between him and Kumada right? Then why is it just us that are fighting? // This is stupid, I'm going act like I knew nothing.

page 88

b1) Hey, why are you doing so much for him?
b2) Because you like him?
b3) He's the one rejecting you right? The day before the duel and all of a sudden the two of you can't combine, isn't that proof that his cowardice is showing...
b4) SHUT UP!!
b5) The whole basis of this duel was because he was trying to cover for us.
b6) He thought that if Yatsuka found out about the music room, we'd be sent to prison.
b6/5) So of course I'm going try hard!
b7) And besides...

page 89

b1) He said those words to me!
b2) I'm not rejecting you or anything!
bubble sfx.) creeeak
b3) So I'm absolutely fine!
b4) You sound kinda pitiful.

page 90

b1) You're late! Can't you at least be on time for a duel?
b2) Hm? What happened to Oyamada?
b3) He's sick.
b4) Hmm? So he ran away?
b5) Well, what else do you expect from a human?
b6) Quiet chump!
b7) Ch-chump?

page 91

b1) You're wrong! I'm not chump!
b2) You're more than just looks.
b3) I bet you only live to fight strong opponents!
b3/5) Then I'll do just that! Until you say "I've had enough"!
b4) A girl in love huh... but still... it looks like I mis-read Oyamada.
b5) What are you mumbling about? Are you going to fight or not?

page 92

b1) Well whatever, let's see just how far a 400 year old fox, who's also willing to die for a man, can fight me...
b1/5) fufufu... this ought to be good.
b2) Don't talk about my age!
b3) Don't ignore me, // I'm no chump!
b4) In her place, you Tayura, will be ripped to piec... // pi... // piecesssss!?
b5) I've thought so since I first saw you, you're pretty cute... Mio-chan was it?
b6) What the hell do you think you're doing!? If you try anything funny on Mio, I'll kill you!
b7) Ah, my bad, my bad, is she your girl?
b8) Its obvious that Mio is a girl! You're not making sense, I'll kill you!
b9) That's not what I meant.
b10) Whatever! I'll still kill you!
b11) I was praising your strength, don't get so mad.
b12) You think I'm happy to get praised by you?
b13) Ah.
b14) Wait you guys.

page 93

b1) Is having only Minamoto as your opponent okay?
b2) Even if you try to stop her,
b3) she will not back down.
b4) Well, not having a normal human get pulled into this is for the best.
b5) Now let me explain the rules.
b6) Rules? In a fight between youkai?
b7) I couldn't care less whether or not you guys live or die. The problem is where you're fighting.
b8) We're on the school's roof. We have enough problems with the music room already, so don't destroy the school, you got that?

page 94

b1) Since we're on the roof, wont we been seen by normal people.
b2) You don't need to worry.
b3) Look.
b4) A barrier has already been set up.
b5) You can't see inside the barrier, and it wont break from normal attacks, so you fight all you want.
b6) Sand...
b7) That means he's allowing this duel.
b8) Would you stop referring to the boss as 'he'.

page 95

b1) Well, let's leave it at that.
b2) Let's go!
b3) Begin!

page 96

b1) I wonder why we couldn't combine?
panel) Chizuru-san said I was the one rejecting her... // but that can't be...
b2) Chizuru-san.
b3) Tayura-kun!

page 97

b1) But even if I go...
bubble sfx.) gara (sound of sliding door opening)
b2) Sahara... // sensei.
b3) What are you doing HERE?
panel) No, its not.
b4) Why wont you fight with them?

page 98

panel) I'm not the only observer in the school
b1) Sahara-sensei...
b1/5) Are you also...
b2) Because they're youkai?
b3) Because she's a youkai, you're going to abandon chizuru?
b4) I'd never abandon her!
b5) She can't beat Kumada!
b6) He's very strong. If not, he would never be able to hold the position he has as youkai counselour.
b7) But Chizuru-san said she'd finish before you know it.

page 99

b1) You know nothing about women.
b2) She said that so you wouldn't get hurt of course!
bubble sfx.) squeeze
b3) I-I have to go to her.
bubble sfx.) trip
b4) Wait.
b5-7) wah, wah, waaaah
b8) What will you do going the way you are now?
b9) Until you find out why you two can't combine,
b10) you'll only get in the way up there.

page 100

b1) I don't know.
b2) Are you afraid of fight Kumada?
b3) Chizuru and Tayura are both shedding their blood out there.
b4) If you stay here whimpering like that, you'll regret it.
b5) I-its true that he's strong...
b6) No... If I'm with Chizuru-san...

page 101

b1) Are you afraid of Chizuru?
b2) Because she's a youkai?
b3) NO!
b4) Sh-she's...
b5) Chizuru-san is most likely a youkai.
b6) But she's still a girl...
b6/5) She's very pretty, she's kind, and all the things that, umm... well...

page 102

b1) Then you don't hate that old fox.
b2) So why is that you two can't combine?
panel) Ah.
b3) What?
b4) No... that couldn't be it.
b5) Say it.
b6) That...
b6/5) she lied to me.
b7) Lied? Oh, you mean that Yatsuka was a youkai hunter? That was classic!
b8) Its not funny!

page 103

b1) It made me...
b2) very sad.
b3) Why's that?
b4) Why was it so hard for you to swallow?
b5) That's because...
b6) It was a simple lie...She probably didn't want you to know that she was a criminal.
b7) I'm sure you understand where she's coming from.
b7/5) So why can't you let her off the hook?
b8) I haven't forgiven her?

page 104

panel1) I'm...
b1) Looks like you found your answer...
b2) Then go! If you don't, you'll regret it.
panel2) Chizuru-san, I'm on my way!
