small left: Stop it!

-Drink your milk, or you won't grow big and stwong~~!
left: stop it!

---when I awoke, my fever was gone without a trace
bold: One night after returning to the present...
-Just like that woman said it would...too bad it didn't take this terrible mood with it

02
CALL.9 - His and her circumstances

-Although just for a moment, there are times she can be ladylike
author: Iwashiro Toshiaki

SUMMARY: Ageha and co. return to the present from Psyren. A mysterious woman on a motorcycle came to pick Amamiya up. True to her word, Ageha's dreams turn to nightmares as he fell ill with a fever and nosebleed that evening. Does this mean he's been infected with that disease she spoke of...!?

03
-Your power
-will awaken!

-What the hell does that mean?!

-Ageha, hurry up and help with the chores!
no bubble: go wash the tub!
-HAA!? Didn't I wash it last time!?

-Doesn't matter! It's got to be cleaned every day!
-Lay off, you neat freak! That's why no one will marry you!
-What was that!?
-Let me have a sunday off for once and a while!

-CRACK

04
-Sunday...

-I washed the tub...finally receiving permission from my sister, I was able to leave the house
-It was a dream come true for the 16 year old Yoshina Ageha (me), first year high school student

-...yes, a dream
(there's something written on his head, it's very small, so i'm very unsure: "i'm finally free" (?))
-That vast wasteland...that suffocating scent of blood...it all felt like an illusion

-I wonder what Amamiya's up to...

-Really?

-HEY! You little turd! You'd better watch where you're goin'!
-C'mere! I'm talking to you...

05
-HIYAAAAA
-Bro!?!

-HEY! He was mid-sentence!!
-Hmph
-Nothing feels better than the day after getting over a cold...

-...oh yeah. I know!
-Let me try that place one more time

-This is quite a crowd you've got here...
-Don't you have any pride,
-Miwa-senpai?

06
-Good to see you too, Asaga! Glad you could make it...
-I was counting down the days to see you again after I'd get out of the hospital...

-I came because you said it'd be one on one

-Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to be holed up in a hospital for a year? It's not something you'd quickly forget!
-Even with a team of three, you beat me...there's no way I can ever return to Chiku high after that!

-Well, I don't care...cuz today's my lucky day!
-Couldn't help but notice the bandages...How ya feelin'?

-I'm feeling pretty good, thanks
-Hurry up and show me what you've got

07
-That's what I HATE about you,
-DRAGON!!

-GUH!!

-Sure, everyone's afraid of your monster-like endurance, D
-But looks like you're out of it today, right?
sfx: Shako

08
-Look out belooooooow
small: gmpf!
-CRASSSSH!

-Who's there!?
-B-boss!!

-Count me in, on the side with the handicap!

-Yoshina...!

09
-Ngah...ye-ouch...guh...
-Who the...hell...I'll kill you!

-Huh...?

-Wha...wha..n-no...

-Ha...haha...
-I beg your...forgiveness...?

-EEEK!!

10
-I just wanted to confirm that what we saw yesterday was real
-...well, can't say I don't know how you feel

-But the future?
-Hard to believe. If what Amamiya said was true, then...

-Somewhere in the future,
-Our home...our country! Everything will be completely destroyed!

11
-Either way, we'll find out when we see her again

-Hey, Hiryuu...about last night
-...how did you feel?
no bubble: fear
-Ah...
-I've never had anything like it...that never-ending nosebleed...

-Alright, later
-If something comes up give me a ring

-Hey, do you remember back to elementary school?
-What?

-I was shocked! I mean, just what happened to Amamiya to make her change so much?
-If Amamiya remembered who you were I'm sure she'd be shocked too!

12
-Enough about her...more importantly...!
-Yoshina!! There's something I've been DYING to say to you...

-Ah?

-See ya later, shrimp!
-You'd better start drinking more milk!

box: Not quite there (t/n - above the height)

-HAHAHAHAHA
left - Aaah...that felt good

-That was the worst sunday ever

13
---In time, Amamiya eventually returned

-The news was focused on nothing but entertainment news and some government employee scandal

-Before I even knew it, I had slipped back into my corner of society

-Yo, Ageha. I heard you found Amamiya?
-I bet it must have been a real pain in the ass!
-...yeah...you have no idea...
box: And for that whole day, I was talking to Saka and Hiroki about all the things I hadn't had the chance to

14
-What happened to you on Saturday, man? I tried calling you but you never answered
-I was so beat that I turned off my phone and went to sleep. sorry

-Did you hear anything new about those two fake cops?
-...truth is, the school's keeping quiet about it because they didn't want to make it any worse

-Look, I know how interested you two are and all...
-But I'm telling you, nothing happened after that...I went to sleep. Quit doubting me already
-He's a terrible liar
-Very suspicious...!

-YOSHINA AGEHA!
-CAN YOU HEAR ME?

15
-Wh...
-What was that voice just now!?
-Uwhahahaha

-YOSHINA!

-It sounds like Amamiya?
(this is tough with the letters around, here's my best instructions)
top line: Can you hear my voice? Yoshina
below that: Listen carefully
lower left: It's me
next to that: Ageha
the diagonal set: In here? Nope, not here. Nearby
middle right: Further
lowest right: Just a little further

-Near your school, there's a park with a lookout platform. I'm waiting there
-End of message

-What's wrong with you?
-I've got to go!
-WHAT?

16
-I communicated with you,
-Yoshina Ageha

-by using telepathy

17
-I wasn't surprised. She didn't have the kind of injuries that would've healed in a day or two
-She was smiling softly

-...I received my calling card a little over half a year ago
-It was last winter...I was just sick of everything and ran away from home, heading to Osaka. There was a public phone along the way...

-I met Nemesis Q. Without thinking, I answered that immigration exam
-Up to now...I've been back to Psyren countless times...

-Exactly what IS Psyren!?
-C'mon, let's go!
-What?! Go where??

-On - a - date !

18
-D-D-D
-DATE!?

-D-D-D
-DATE!?

-What about my question!?

-Hey, uh...what kind of concert is this? There's nobody here...
-The show isn't until tonight

-While I was in Psyren, all I could do was cry and run for cover...all I could do was run away...
-I...was powerless to do anything.

19
-The person you're about to meet was the one who taught me how to survive

-My "Psy" instructor,
-Yakumo Matsuri
-The time has finally come for you to learn all about Psyren

white: Amamiya's "teacher" appears! What does she have to say!?
