Kyou: Rinko-san, please become my co-star.
Kyou: But, not in a movie.

Kyou: In life!

Kyou: Alright, good. One more time!
SFX: ahem

Kyou: Rinko-san, please become my co-star.
Kyou: But, not in a movie.

One more time!
SFX: chuckle


p.02
Kyou: Rinko-san, please——
Ageha: Kyousuke-kun!

Kyou: Be... Whoa!!
SFX: ack
Ageha: What was that important thing you wanted to talk about?
Kyou: Oh, uuum, basically...

Kyou: Be–
Be my co-star! [co-star]
Kyou: B– be......


p.03
Kyou: Do you know about dinosaurs?*
SFX: spin
Ageha: Dinosaurs?
*[So, Kyousuke actually get’s hung up on the word co-star, “kyouensha.” He keeps going “kyo...” then says do you know about dinosaurs, “kyouryuu tte shitte masu ka?” You can try to fix this to somehow make if fit in English if you want.]

Kyou: Tyrannosaurus, triceratops, and pteranodon* for example!!
*[Technically not a dinosaur :P]
SFX: babble x 2
Kyou: They are fabled organisms that are said to have existed on Earth in ancient times!
Though, they had already been extinct by the time humans were born...

Kyou: This time, lo and behold, on the planet Costa Rica’s...............
SFX: babble
Ageha: ............

Ageha: I’m sorry, Kyousuke-kun.

Kyou: Huh?
Kyou: What is it?


p.04-05
#12 Reset
Ageha: I have to say goodbye.


p.06
Box: Thanks to the berserk Maki-chan,

Box: The handcuffs came off and I, Ageha, momentarily fled,

Box: Secretly got back Rinko’s clothes and wig,

Box: And met up with everyone pretending it was a coincidence.

Box: Of course Ageha’s whereabouts were unknown.
Ageha: .....
Kyou mutter: Where are you Ageha, dammit
MG: Found your clothes

Box: Though there was a report of a sighting on a scheduled ferry leaving Planet Branzil,
Box: (If it were true it’d be that fake Ageha)
Box: We haven’t grabbed her trail afterwards.

Box: The problem for me, was—


p.07
Box: That he had finally hardened some bizarre resolve.

Maki: You’re going to propose to Rinko-san!?
Maki mutter: What?

Maki: The thing with Ageha may have been my misunderstanding, but I wonder about now.
SFX: tremble x 3
Maki: Ho ho ho!
SFX: clack x 3
Kyou: And why are you getting pissed, Maki?
MG: I never get bored watching you two~

Maki: W– well, why don’t you go do whatever you want?
There’s no way someone as beautiful as Rinko-san would even look at you!
Ageha: Propose!? That would be problematic!!


p.08
Because my identity’s the escaped death row convict Ageha!

And I’m only making this chest bigger with padding!

I’ve got low blood pressure, and my cooking sucks!
And, um... um...

I’m getting busy with my job as an actress...............


p.09
Box: That’s not a lie.
Box: I had been nominated for the Galaxy Film Award for female lead role while I was marooned in the jungle.

Box: And due to that———
Kyou: Rinko-saaaa~~n!!
Maki?: We’ll always be rooting for you!!
MG?: So become the best actress in the universe~~!!
Sign: Goodbye


p.10-11
Box: Parting with everyone was actually unavoidable.
Sign: Goodbye Rinko [?? Can’t really read/guess the last character, though it doesn’t actually look like “ko”]


p.12-13
One week later


p.14
Kyou: I’m going to move on!

Maki: Yes?

Kyou: I really don’t want to become a pansy of a man who chases women around persistently.
Kyou: Rinko-san lives in a different world from us in the first place.

Maki: Kyousuke......!
Kyou: In order to forget about Rinko-san once and for all...


p.15
Kyou: We will!!
Kyou: More intensely than ever!!

Kyou: Chase Ageha!!
Maki: Yeaaah!!


p.16
Kyou: Ageha, where are you~!!?
Woman: Eeeek!!

Kyou: Come out Ageha~!!
Woman: Noooo!!

Whoa, what is this feeling......


p.17
My heart is clearing up.

I see.

So this was the reason I couldn’t say the proposal well.

Maki: Kyousuke! Report of a sighting!
Kyou: !

Maki: It said Ageha’s staying in room 512 of this hotel!
Kyou: Alright, let’s go!!

Kyou: That’s as far as you go!!

Ageha: !


p.21
Ageha: That’s right! Since I’m Ageha.
Of course things like this would happen...
Maki: ?
Kyou: ?
MG: What are you doing here, Rinko-san?

Ageha: I– I’m here to perform for TV and events on this planet!
Ageha: It’s true
Ageha: Recently I’ve been flying around to various places in space nearly every day!

Guard: Rinko-san, it’s almost time to depart...... huh?
Who are you people!?
Ageha: My friends!

Ageha: I’m sorry, even though we just met...
Kyou: No way! We’re also sorry for being so sudden.
Maki: Take care~~!!


p.22
Kyou?: Aaah~ that surprised me!
Maki?: What a miraculous reunion.

MG: Though in the end we weren’t able to find Ageha.
SFX: slurp, slurp
Kyou: No worries, this just the beginning!

Maki: Ageha sighting report!
Kyou: There it is!

Maki?: To planet Bari!
Maki?: Warp!!

Kyou: ......... .........Huh?


p.23

Kyou: Just a coincidence. This time for sure, behind this door—

Kyou: Will be Ageha.........!!


p.24
SFX: thump, thump, thump
SFX: slip

Maki: Hey, Billy!
Ageha: Ahem
Maki: The reports of sightings you’re collecting aren’t of Ageha, but mostly Rinko.

SFX: glancing around
Billy: That’s weird.
That shouldn’t be...............

Kyou: ......... .........


p.25
Kyou: Don’t blame Billy.
I’ve solved the mystery.

Ageha: !!

Kyou: I thought it was suspicious from the beginning,
Kyou: but it seems Rinko-san is——

SFX: thump

SFX: thump


p.26
Kyou: Tied to me with the red string of fate!!*
*[Meaning they are destined lovers/soulmates]
MG: No way in hell!!
Maki: That couldn’t be.
Ageha: Phew

Ageha: L– leaving that red string of fate aside......
Ageha: I do feel some mysterious connection with all of you.


p.27
Ageha: Maybe I’ll
Ageha: live with you guys when I can after all.

Kyou: Rinko-san.........!!
Maki: R– really.........!?

All?: All right~~~!!
Kyou?: Thank you God!!
Ageha: My heart wouldn’t last otherwise.


p.28

Ageha: Sorry to keep you waiting, Kyousuke-kun!
Kyou: !


p.29
Ageha: Wh– what could that important thing you wanted to tell me be...
A continuation of dinosaurs from before?
Kyou: No.

Kyou: At that time, I had actually wanted to propose.

Kyou: But I’m stopping.

Ageha: !?

Kyou: I noticed
That what I needed to do first was to capture Ageha.


p.30
Kyou: Only when I finish with that,
Kyou: do I think that I can propose without anything holding me back!!

Rinko: ......... .........


p.31
Rinko: ......... .........
Rinko: Sure.

Kyou: Nooow~ prepare yourself, Ageha!
Kyou: For Rinko-san as well...

Kyou: I’ll definitely catch you!!
Ageha: I won’t stand for that!!
