Shinigami Alice
Chapter 2
Idzumiya Otoha

2
Masaki: Haa...
[SFX: dosa- the sound of her hitting the bed]
Masaki: Tonight makes two weeks // that were completely fruitless
Text: Yes / It's been two weeks since that night
[SFX: goron-]
Masaki: Where is she... // Hm... // Hmmm...

3
Text: I have not met with "her" again
Masaki: I don't even know her name //　At the very least, I'd like to ask her...
Text: I wonder if tonight, as well // she's out doing her "job" with her bloodstained hands?
[SFX: katan-]

4
[SFX: Kashan-!]
Masaki: Ha..!? (perhaps Huh...!?! would be more english)
[SFX(at her toe): jari...]

5
Masaki: Wait a... // Y-you! // ...why...what...
Masaki: This is the second floor...
[SFX: suru]
Masaki: Blood is... /Glass is...

6
[SFX: Gu // Aaaaa (scream)]
[SFX(to the right a little): Zutsu (scissors)]
Shinigami: ---Sorry for troubling you

7
Masaki: Ah, damn, I'm out of coffee // Hey, is tea okay?
Masaki: At any rate, you surprised me! // I never expected for you / to come all the way to my home to see me!
[SFX: kopopo (water boiling)]
Masaki: But, you know, not having a window tonight kind of sucks (and is also gonna hurt my wallet) // Next time you come over, come in peacefully through the front door...
Shinigami: Why...
Masaki: Huh?
Shinigami: Why don't you ask any questions?

8
Shinigami: Don't you want to know?
Masaki: ...That is / I want to know, but...
Masaki: I don't want to force you to answer questions...
Shinigami: It's best // if you don't know about me / Coming here was an accident, after all / ... I've already been too rude

9
Masaki: Wait
Shinigami: ...Please let go of me // Do you want to die?
Masaki: That is... I don't want to die, but...
Masaki: You're being chased, aren't you? / I can't let you go out alone like that

10
Masaki: Besides, you said it yourself / The one who kills me will be you
Masaki: If you leave here now / what do you think will happen to the witness of tonight's incident?
Shinigami: You really are ... // A complete idiot
Masaki: ...I guess so, I think so too
Masaki: ...Ah, sorry. I have one more question

11
Masaki: Your name // Tell me your name
Masaki: Ah, crap! I have a day shift today!
[SFX:batabata (footsteps)]
Masaki: Well, see you later!

12
(I'm assuming this is Hinageshi answering the question):Hinageshi!
Hinageshi: ...such a selfish person
[SFX: Posun (sitting on the bed)]
Shinigami: Even though she was the one who said to stay... // She's the one who left...

13
Shingami: This means // nothing, right?

14
Shinigami: ...What are you doing?
Masaki: Ah, you're awake
Masaki: Hm? / I was just thinking you were sleeping so well (curled up like a cat) // Last night, you didn't sleep a wink, did you?
[SFX: tosa (setting down coat) kachi- (unsnapping sweater?) goso... (taking off sweater)]
Masaki: I was a little worried, but // I'm glad everything seems alright!
Masaki: What's wrong?
[SFX: puchi- (unbuttoning shirt)]

15
Shinigami: Are humans accustomed to being so unguarded ?
[SFX: puchi -]
Shinigami: I can't believe you're changing clothes right in front of another person
Masaki: Is there something weird about it?
Masaki: Hinageshi / You say such difficult things, I thought you were a completely cold and blunt person, but.. // At heart, you're just a normal girl.

16
Masaki: Anyhow, now shouldn't you say // "It's embarrassing to undress in front of people"?
Masaki: You are so cute // Truly
Masaki: ...Alright // Shall we do something even more awesome?!
Shinigami: Um / Wait...

17
Masaki: ... or perhaps I should say, speaking honestly // My life is also pretty tough
Masaki: So, if we showered together, it would save a bit on my utility costs...
Shinigami: No.
Masaki: ...darn
Masaki: ... sorry
Masaki: Hinageshi, the way you are now
Masaki: You were so cute when I teased you a bit / ...yeah, I think // it would be best if you kept acting like a girl, just like that

18
Masaki: It's alright // There's no one here but me, after all
Masaki: Wouldn't it be good / to take the weight off your shoulders?
Masaki: ...Hey you, are you even listening to me?
Shinigami: It's my daily routine

19
Shinigami: Have you forgotten? // That I said I'm being chased
Masaki: And.. // my words that day
Text:---because killing you // is my responsibility ---
Masaki: ... are you kidding? / There's no way I'd forget that
Masaki: In that case, I also have something I want to ask // Hinageshi

20
Masaki: Why / don't you kill me?
Masaki: That first time, also, why did you let me go after I'd seen your "job"?
Shingami: Just a whim
Masaki: Really?
Masaki: You said you're being chased // It's my fault, isn't it?

21
Masaki: That night, when you didn't kill me// you killed your ally
Hinageshi: ...It wasn't for your benefit
Hinageshi: When I saw you / I experienced a very baffling feeling
Hinageshi: It was the first time // I was uneasy
Hinageshi: ...and that's why // Until I can figure that out, I'm declaring a moratorium on killing you

22
Masaki: ...Is that so // Well then, there's just one thing I can do
Masaki: I can make killing me even more difficult for you // Hinageshi, I love you
Hinageshi: Such terrible vanity
Masaki: Oh yeah?
Hinageshi: ...enough already// I'll also do as I please

23
Masaki: ...yeah... / sorry, I'm going to sleep for a bit // I've somehow... / gotten exhausted...
Hinageshi: You, also // didn't sleep a wink, did you?
Hinageshi: You idiot

24
Text: This is such a discomforting place // The sensation of becoming someone I'm not is very unpleasant

25
Text: Even so // It's also awfully cozy
Masaki: Hinageshi
Masaki: That "routine" hasn't gone away, huh?
Masaki: I think everything else about you has mellowed out a lot, but...
Hinageshi: It's because this is proof that I'm still me // If I were to stop this, I ...
Masaki: It'd be fine

26
Masaki: If the you who kills people disappears // as long as the Hinageshi that's here right now stays here
Masaki: ... hey, is that more fun? // than living normally here / You never look like you're having fun

27
Hinageshi: ...Please stop... // ...I... / ...I'm...
Masaki: Hina...?

28
[SFX: Ga-]
Hinageshi: Please stay here! // Absolutely do not move!
Masaki: Hinageshi!
Text: At last, the pursuer has appeared!? Next time: A rapid development!!
