Double Arts 3

Time for some more kingdom hear--I mean, double arts action!
Kiri's got a keyblade! Don't say I didn't call it!

EDIT: Although done, do proof. Kinda speed-transed at the end because it was getting so late.

-CLANG
-Tomorrow morning,
-This convict will be sent North, to Leimbach
-Make sure you're prepared

-Still,
-Is he really one of those widely renown assassins, the Gazelle?
-I heard that just two kids took this guy down around noon...
no bubble: Someone is closing in on the arrested assassin...

-When I thought about it, I figured Kiri must have been one of them
-After all, I can definitely see him pulling it off

-That kid's got a lot of brains,
-and that's not all...
-Ooh...?
-You mean some boy named "Kiri"
-Caught this man?
-Wh-who's there!?

02
-Vig
-I'm quite surprised you got captured
-ngh...!
-Must have let down your guard, since they were just kids...eh, partner?

-shut it!
-Save yer jabberin' and get me outta here, Lenke!
-Not so fast...

-The second you get out of there, you're going after the boy, right?
-You'd ruin all my fun. Don't worry, I'll have plenty of time to release you later
-That boy's piqued my interest now, you see

-Allow me to take care of
-The boy and girl you failed to kill

bottom:
The story until now...
The very moment a traveling Sister, Elle, was struck by a deadly seizure, she was saved by Kiri. As long as she holds his hand, her illness is halted for some unknown reason. In order to solve the mysteries surrounding this boy, the two plan on traveling to the Sisters' Main Cathedral...

Chapter 3 - "Sui"

-WHERE AM I!?

04
-Ah
-That's right, I'm in Kiri's home
-They let me stay here (which kind of surprised me)

-Still, I can't believe his hobby
-It looks like a studio, and that of a pro's too!
-He must be aiming to become a great artist...

sign: Title: / The great spirit of poop (t/n - ROFLAMO)
-...but he's clearly still just a kid...

-...come to think of it, this is the first time i've ever slept in the same room with a guy
-Even though he put up a curtain divider, it's still pretty nerve wrecking...

-But still, having to do this kinda stuff every day until we reach HQ...?
-Where even one slip-up means death...

-Oh, stop it! Thinking about it just makes me nervous!
-there's no point in concentrating on it, Elle! This is my mission...
-Pachi

05
-Ah
-There's someone in front of the store...

-Hm?
-wah!

no bubble: eh...um...

06
-What was that about?

-Was that Kiri's friend? She was really pretty...
-Girlfriend, maybe??
-Oh no! If that's the case, then I've done something terrible...!

-Maybe I shouldn't have shown my face!
-Hey? Are you awake already?
-Is it okay to open the curtain?
-go ahead!

-uwah!

-G-good morning
-...good morning
-um....

07
-What's with your hair?
-eh?
-AAAAH!

-Uwah!! I have a bed head again!
-bed head?
-I-I have a hard time sleeping in place!
-Can you hand me a mirror, please?
-Sure...

-Does this mean that sticky up thing
(same bubble, other side): Was just 'cuz she slept on it that way?
tiny: I thought it was intentional...

-By the way, Kiri-san

-Someone was in front of the store a little while ago
-What were they like?
-Um...a very pretty girl
-She had long dark hair, almost touching the ground
-Ah...

08
-That's gotta be Sui
-A friend of yours?

-Friend? More like childhood friend
-Things are a bit different now
-But she's a good girl
-Hmm...

-Maybe she needed something?
no bubble: well she already left...
-eh?

-Probably, she...
-I'm all set!
-Huh?

-Where did you get that bruise??
no bubble: You didn't have that yesterday!

-No, this is...
-Oh! You're both awake!

-Mornin'! How'd you sleep?
-G-good morning, Mrs. Luchile!
-Breakfast is ready, so come help yourselves!
-Oh, and Elle-chan...

09
-Ooh, what's with the bruise?
-You tried something, didn't you, Kiri!
-I DID NOT!

-What were you saying?
-Oh yes, there was a call for you
-There's a phone in town hall so make sure to call them back after you eat
-Um...who was it from?

-The Order of Sisters

-SISTER ELRAINE!!
-WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT YOU COULDN'T CALL ME BACK!

-The call cut off last time! Do you have any idea how worried I was?!
-I forgot to report in...

10
-My apologies, Sister Martha
-It's just that, so much happened all at once...
-...sheesh...

-So? Are you two all right?
-Yes, we're fine
-How about Kiri-kun?
-Yes
-Let me hear all that's happened
-then we'll go from there

-I see....

-Sounds like bad luck
-being attacked by them, so soon...
-Well, I'm glad you survived

-It's highly unlikely you'd continually be running into them,
-but nevertheless, you need to be on guard at all times
-right

-Sister Martha
-Yes?
-So what exactly should we do at this point in time?

-Right, about that...
-I want you to stay in Turm for just a couple more days
-W-why!?

11
-Right after yesterday's conversation, we held an emergency meeting
-as a result, it was decided that we dispatch team "Falzen" to your location
(t/n ファルゼン, still not sure if this is the best romanization.)

-Are you serious?!
-HEY!
-hold on there!

-I don't get this!
no bubble: no need to get all excited
-What is this Falzen?
-Oh, sorry!

-Falzen is basically a group of soldiers
-that are under direct supervision of us Sisters

-Among the Sisters there are two major divisions
-There's the general group who, like me, are specialists that treat Troi. We're called "Maille Sisters."
(t/n - Okay. the word, メイル, is questionable. but--I think this may refer to the medieval chainmail of old. maille is actually the real spelling for this, and given the context of this comic, i'm aiming for that impact. As you might guess, it served the purpose of defending against any conventional medieval weapon, preventing penetration. However, it did not prevent the wearer from broken bones or other similar injuries that impacts would cause. Likewise, I take it that Sisters like Elle protect the ailing, but are unable to cure them, or prevent all injury, much like chainmail.)
-The other kind is called...

12
-a "Militaire Sister" (t/n - same as military/militia, is it just me or are a lot of these names and such French in origin?)
-They serve both as bodyguards to us and can also take on the Gazelle
-In short, a Sister who specializes in fighting

-Out of all of the Militaire forces that exist,
-The one proud to be called the strongest is the "Falzen" Squad

-This squad's combined power
-Is on par with even that of one battalion of royal knights!

-Woah...sounds like a pretty reliable bunch
-Well, of course!

-So, Sister Martha...basically you want us
-To wait here and meet up with the Falzen?
-Then together, we'll head for the Cathedral?
-That's correct

-However, it will take them at least a week to reach you, even on horseback
-Once you join up, your safety in getting here is guaranteed

13
-Somehow it seems like in one fell swoop, things are looking up!
-I think it'll all work out!
-Yeah!
-Yesterday's incident made me feel anxious, but
-With Falzen's assistance, we have absolutely nothing to worry about!

-Oh about the squad...
-There's an interesting kid who joined the ranks...
-Who?

-Andie Frau (t/n - アンディ・フラウ, unsure if this is a correct name - other thoughts?)
-Is also heading there, as a member of the Militaire
-Andie is!?

-Your friend?
-No...

-A really good friend!
-An important one I made shortly after I entered the Order...

-hmmm...really?
-So, you might get to see Andie
-Yeah!

14
no bubble: tahaha...
-Still, this is quite a lot to swallow
-I mean, sending an entire army just to come get me?

-u-uh no, that's...!
-Among all records we have of Troi,
-Not one person ever showed immunity to the disease
-Have you forgotten?

-You may very well be the savior
-of not only us, but the entire world

-Whether or not you really hold the key, I can't say for sure
-But realize that you represent hope
-No one else can replace you

-Don't forget even for a second
-The importance of your role

15
-A savior?

-Heh, yesterday I was just "John Q Public"...
-I guess you can never guess what life has in store...
-Well, let's hope there's no more crazy stuff like yesterday!

-Is this mission
-too much for you?

-Nah, I'm fine
-It's not like I'm gonna run

-I already gave my word
-no matter what it takes, we'll get to the cathedral

-Wait! They're not gonna keep experimenting on me for the rest of my life once we get there, right??
-That's why they're being so nice!
-Hmm...who knows...?

-Not funny!!
-ahaha

16
-Um, excuse me?

-Yes?

-Could you help me find my way?
-Is it straight from here to the plaza?

top: Is that white building a good landmark to go by?
-Yeah, pretty much
-Right after that, you're there

-No not that one, I meant the smaller one in the middle
-Huh? Which is that?

-Can't you tell? Look, it's right there...
-Ummmm~you mean that one?

17
-Ngh!

-ow!!
-yeow...

-Not bad
-I thought your guard was down
-I'm quite impressed

-Don't tell me you're...!

18
-You guessed right
-Thanks for taking good care of my partner yesterday
-it would be rude of me not to show my gratitude

-A Gazelle assassin!

-You two children must be something else, to have taken him down...
-I heard it all
-But, he tends to loose control when he's enjoying his hunts...
-I think you and me will get along much better

-I can't believe it...I had no idea
-I wasn't expecting to run into any more assassins...
-How could he have had a partner?!

-Hmm...what next...
-Head on, we can't take this guy
-Guess there's no choice but to run

19
-Hm?
-That's right, he told me
-something strange

-Even though you're a sister,
-Why do you continue to hold his hand?

-...this is bad!

-Are you treating him?
-No, that's hard to imagine
-The treatment doesn't take long, nor can I envision him being your guard
-It seems you two ran away hand-in-hand yesterday
-Why go through such trouble in the first place?

-...this is really bad!!
-If Gazelle gets a handle on Kiri's ability, then...
-Forget maybe, it's a certainty---they'll all be specifically coming after us!

-We have to keep him from figuring it out!

20
-Hey
-Let's get out of here

-It's just like yesterday
-We can't take him down without a plan, so let's run first
-Once we regroup, we can do it
-Okay!

-Let's go!!

-Uwah!!

-Wha..!

-How naive!

-You really think you can just run from each one of us?
-I'm nothing like yesterday

21
-If you're at least willing to run, then do try to fight back
-It's far more enjoyable that way!

-Damn!
-What the heck is with you people!?

-Hey, listen
-Don't let go no matter what

-I don't know if it'll work, but...
-With this many materials, I might be able to do it!

-d-do what?!

22 KEYBLADE TIME!
-HUUUUUH!?
-What is that!?

-He used my knives...

-To create a weapon!?
-GRAAAAAAAHH!!

-What is this kid?!
-Kuh!

-What are you...
-really?!

23
-DAH!!

-....huh?

-....oops?

-Heh! That was quite a bluff, there!
-Kiri-san!!

-Ngh...!!
-Well, now Sister...I'll start with you
-Hope you're saying your prayers!

-WAI--
-STOP IT!!

24
-fgh!!

-GNH!!

-umimimimi (t/n - ?????)

-Hey there, Kiri
-Looks like you're having a blast over here

25
-at times like these
-couldn't you at least come invite me first?

-Keh!!
-Who're you!?

-Nice timing,
-Sui!

-Let me in on the fun!

bold: And suddenly, what appears is a...reliable(?) ally!?
