Volume 4

Pg 7

Despite everyone’s curiosity towards what happened to Iokawa, who didn’t come to school after summer vacation ended due to “illness” and then suddenly “transfered” to another school, but as everyone got excited about sports day and field trips

The topic of Iokawa was soon forgotten
Classmate: Amino, let’s go to…

No one knew what really happened
Amino: Sorry

One of the girls used to say “I feel kind of abandoned”

Classmate: …that’s what I thought

Those words are kind of on target, even though she didn’t really know what happened.

A number I don’t know…

Pg 8

Iokawa?

…Unfortunately, no

Amino: I meant to call you but I didn’t know your number // so I’m thankful you called
Nogami: I assumed you were with them // you were Karada-chan’s friend weren’t you?

I look for the stone every day, I’ve even been going to the library every Sunday // If I don’t do anything I…

Pg 9

It’s me, Nogami Shouko // I can’t reach Hiro…I mean Karada-chan and her brother // Amino-kun, right? Can you tell me how to contact them?
Amino: …That’s what I want to know

Iokawa and her brother have gone disappeared

Nogami: What? Did you get in a fight? / …what are you doing in a time like this / that’s why you kids…
Amino: I’m doing the best I can! // I’m even looking for the wishing stone!

I just feel abandonded

Pg 10

A: Oh yeah, by the way Shouko-san, you’re smart right?
N: …I’m average

A: There are so many words I can’t read in the ancient text so can you help? There’s a character that looks like “mi” in hiragana…
N: I can’t figure it out with you verbally telling me / I’ll go into a copy center so can you fax it for me

A: Oh yeah right, ok, thanks
N: Abandonded, huh?

…we’re the one’s that got abandonded // by time

Pg 11

I wonder if we can really find it // the “wishing stone”

It wasn’t here when we came last time! // The box was empty

Ow!

…I know that!

Pg 12

We just don’t have any other leads / It might not be here anymore, but it was once here // that means this is our best bet

A: I should have stuck to researching this on my own…
N: You’re the one who came to me saying “I can’t read it!!”

Pg 13

Extra chapter: Mermaid Light

Anyway / let’s find out more // about the old tale with the “wishing stone”

Hey! Come on!

Pg 14

Yeah!
I’m going in too!
I can too…

Heeey

Hey Tasuke // you come in too! // It’s not that high!

Pg 15

I…

Can’t…do it

Oh you’re still afraid of heights!
Oh come on / weakling!! Scaredy cat! // this is the lowest diving point!!

There are higher points over there…
He / hey

Look

Pg 16

Hey…is that kid // going to jump from there?

Impossible! Even I’d be scared at that height… / it’s deeper and you can’t even see anything // the current is faster too so my dad always told me to stay away / shouldn’t we stop that kid?

Pg 17

It’s okay, I bet that kid can’t…

WAAH! HEY!
STOP!
THAT’S DANGEROUS!

Pg 18

What the… / I guess the kid’s not jumping
Probably chickened out

Wasn’t that kid / the one that the priest brought from Edo…
Stupid!

Pg 19

It’s not “Edo” anymore! / it’s “Tokyo”
Ohhh right, my mom still says Edo, so

Hey // I wonder if that kid really didn’t jump because he was scared

Didn’t look scared at all…WOAH!

Stupid / don’t push me!

If you hit a messy head / it sounds like civilization enlightenment

Pg 20

…goes the song / anyway it feels good to cut your hair // you should cut it too brother

…I have nothing to talk to you about // give us back our sacred ornament

We promised each other that the first half of the month the upper shrine may have it and the last half of the month the lower shrine would / didn’t we!?

Why have you not returned it yet after 10 days!!
Please please / just lend it to me for a little while longer

Pg 21

It’s not like it’s going to disappear if it’s not in use // it’s a “wishing stone”

Well…I don’t even know how to use it / that’s how these sacred objects are / really, it’s just a stone…

I know…

Your shrine has been “using” the stone lately / for something suspicious // are you trying to bring forth a miracle by soaking it in water or something…? You’re fake!

What’s the problem?

Pg 22

What!

The upper shrine and lower shrine / are two shrines that honor the “wishing stone” as sacred

The parishioners that came to the upper shrine were all wealthy people / and the shrine has always been large and affluent

You have to use anything you can use / or else I can’t survive // you should also consider…
YOU SACRILIGIOUS SINNER!! / HOW CAN YOU DO SUCH A THING!!

WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS / BLASPHEMY TOWARDS THE SACRED!

Pg 23

You’re as thick-headed and stoic as always / Nobimitsu…
Motoharu! / Give me the “stone”…

Let me hold on to it a little longer // I will eventually return it

I’M GOING TO EXPOSE YOUR WRONG DOING // I WILL / YOU SINNER!!

…With that kind of determination / he might come attack me as soon as tomorrow

I have to hide it tonight… / Shizuku

Pg 24

I leave it up to you

I’ll secretly practice / now that it’s night time…

It’s the kid from earlier…

Pg 25

F… // flew?

Heeeeeeeeey…

Pg 26

Hey! // Are you okay!!?

I’m glad! / It’s so dangerous over there // I don’t think even an adult can jump in

You’re amazing! I’m in shock!! // Can you tell me how it’s done?

Sure

Pg 27

Eh

You you you! / A girl!!?

Your hair is short and your clothes are / so I…

It’s been so long!

I hadn’t shocked anyone in so long // I always did work like this before I came here

I know! / do you want to see something better?

Pg 28

What?

That’s a bright fire cracker!

Alright you’re about to see / one of the rarest underwater fireworks // now this is going to disappear sooner or…

Pg 29

It’s not…disappear…ing…

Magnesium can burn and emit light in the atmosphere / but it can also continue to do so in boiling water

It’s nothing special

It’s something anyone can get their hands on if they know how / but it is pretty rare in this town

Pg 30

Look here look here // This sacred stone / is about to work miracles which can only be seen here // This water is holy water that has been purified by this stone for three days and three nights / this fire has not gone out since

THAT IS // A FAKE!

Pg 31

It’s magic…

This is no miracle as he says!

It’s all a performance he has thought up with a magician he brought from Tokyo! // You can’t fool anyone just by cutting you hair and wearing boy’s clothes! // Now / return the stone!

Tasuke / hold this // and meet me at the bay // please!

Hide it!! In the usual spot!!

Pg 32

It’s pretty / heavy!

Thanks!

Pg 33

See there! / He ran away, thus proving my point!

…I didn’t know the teaching of the bottom shrine were fake?

However, for a long while / the girl did not surface

All the town’s people were watching out for her but she didn’t even come up for water // everyone had started to assume “she must have drowned..” until…

There she is! / Unbelievable…

She held her breath for this long!? / It’s even a mystery that she survived // jumping off from that point…

YES! It’s the power of the “stone”!

Pg 34

The stone had protected her in the water! That’s why she could stay under so long! / there’s no other possible explanation…

Yes, indeed
Maybe…
I’ve never seen a miracle from the top shrine

Which means…
The lower shrine is more…
Maybe the stone at the upper shrine was just a rock

Heeeey // that was amazing!! / how’d you do that!?

That was…

Pg 35

What’s wrong?

Bring me / the “stone” now

Pg 36

Your magic trick of staying under water / the trick has to do with that ball / you sinner!!

Upper shrine priest, I’m sorry
I can’t forgive you / especially / you, magician!

Jump off and escape!! // forget me

She knows… / I can’t jump from here…

Ok we never practiced / but can you teach me how to jump now!!

…okay!

Pg 37

Pg 38

Where are we?

It’s the trick // I just sank a bunch of these barrels

You always have to set up your tricks in advance

Pg 39

Are you shocked?
…shocked!

I… // I…

The upper shrine priest took the “stone” and ran / and disappeared altogether

Brother…

No // the sacred ornament has not disappeared / just

Pg 40

It just stopped displaying it’s miracles for anyone

Since then / the lower shrine continued to honor an “empty box”

The upper shrine now without a owner was cleaned up by the lower shrine // and the “sacred box” was put away

…you’re going back to Tokyo?

Yeah, I have no use here anymore / I’m going back to continue my magic shows

By the way… // What kind of wishes does the “wishing stone” grant?

Pg 41

Hmmm / I dunno… // but I bet they’re amazing wishes

The upper shrine priest

Followed the origins of the stone to where it came from / but when he reached the location the “wishing stone” was not anything special or unique / and everything he had hoped for was worthless

If you’re saying “sacred” shouldn’t it be somewhere away from other stones? // Yeah…

However / people can wish hard // and come to believe things

…This stone is “special”

Pg 42

Let me show you a miracle // Go boil some water // and bring some fire…

The location that the upper shrine priest had gone / holding the “sacred stone” is believed to be…

It’s here…!

What…that’s our shrine!

A: …then it’s useless / it’s already turned into ashes
N: there can be another possibility

Pg 43

The stone was originally a collection of stones from everywhere / but // if it was preserved as something sacred it might still be kept somewhere
Yeah // but it’s “might be” again…

A: We’re back to the beginning again
N: Not completely

We have more hope than before, so it’s not the “beginning” // we have an idea of where the possibility lies!

Pg 44

It should be here in 5 minutes / good timing

N: Can you get home by yourself?
A: Of course!!
N: I’m going to stay behind a bit / and look around some more

Hmmm

The sunset is pretty

Very pretty!

Pg 45

…the sunset!!

N: …I still can’t reach them…you really don’t know where Karada-chan went? / you’re her friend
A: I don’t know…

N: Well if you find something out let me know
A: Yeah you too

Pg 46

What’s going to change when we’re back to normal

I be nothing will change

And yet // the feelings towards the better past // will never be erased // from my heart

Pg 47

If you have something you want tell me so we can send it to you
Ok

H: You didn’t have to come too Youko-san // it’s an important time for you so…
Y: But I won’t see you for a while Hii-kun

Take care of yourself // you’re coming back when you have vacation through right?

Pg 48

…probably

Not
