Re:Birth
Chapter 10

p.01
Ayaka: Like. I. Said!!!
Chapter 10 A new threat

Ayaka: Disgraceful acts like being naked in front of a boy without any shame,
Or lowering his z– z– zipper, are!! [this part can be in a bigger font than the one before (if you care about font sizes)]
Natsuhi: But it was just a harmless joke between childhood friends...

Ayaka: Even if you are childhood friends, in order to live together...
Natsuhi: Hmph...
Ayaka: You must follow basic manners!

Natsuhi: Is that just concern as an older sister?
Ayaka: Yes?
Natsuhi: Or did it... have another meaning, perhaps?


p.02
[none]


p.03
Chapter 10 A new threat
Chapter 11 Weak point
Chapter 12 Mistake
Chapter 13 The weight of life


p.04
Ayaka: O– of course it has to be concern as an elder sister. What else is there!?
Natsuhi: Oh~ I just thought that maybe you were caring for your brother so much that you couldn’t get a boyfriend.

Ayaka: I don’t think that’s something you should concern yourself over...!!
Natsuhi: ......
Ayaka: It’s a sister’s natural duty to worry about her younger brother!!

SFX: grin
Natsuhi: Ohh... Then...

Natsuhi: Since I’m a little sister too~ don’t just get mad at me, dote on me too~!!
Ayaka: Natsuhi-chan!!

Natsuhi: Yay~ Like I thought, you’re the type to look thinner in clothes, Ayaka-san~ Pretty voluptuous~
Ayaka: D– don’t touch me... If you rub me there...!!
A– ah! Th– there... Don’t touch...!!
Natsuhi mutter: Aah

p.07
Reiji: Phew~ Like I thought, no match for that Natsuhi.
It’s really been a while since I saw Nee-san like that~

I hadn’t imagined... Until just the day before...
That I could once again laugh like in the past...

It’s OK... I can endure it...
No...! I must overcome it...!


p.08
Natsuhi: I don’t think there’s a problem with the deadline, though.
Natsuhi: I’m already 80% done, too.

Natsuhi: Yes, please don’t worry. I will contact you when I finish up the manuscript. Okay then.

Natsuhi: Phew~ What a worry wart.

Natsuhi: Now~ maybe I’ll try to plow through it~
Natsuhi: I’ve been going at around half the speed I thought I would so I’m gonna fly tonight~

Ayaka: Natsuhi-chan~
I peeled some fruit. Would you like some?


p.09
Natsuhi: Yaay, thanks Ayaka nee-san.

She is a bit on the exposed side, but...
Uh huh, it’s okay. She’s properly wearing clothes this ti...

Ayaka: H– hey... Natsuhi-chan... What’s with that outfit...?
Ayaka mutter: A girls shouldn’t be like that...
Natsuhi: This? I’m fine! Since it’s not cold~

Ayaka: No, that’s not the problem...
Natsuhi: Oh, this?


p.10
Natsuhi: I just have to be like this when I write~

Natsuhi: Well, you can rest easy since I’ll be proper in front of Reiji~
Ayaka: ......
Ayaka: O... okay...

Ayaka: Oh, did you contact Oji-san in America?
Natsuhi: Mm?

Natsuhi: Course! I made sure to contact him.
Ayaka: OK. Also, let me greet him too, okay?


p.11
Natsuhi: My father’s on a business trip in Europe, so maybe it’ll be a little longer when he comes home?
Ayaka: Oh, I see.

Ayaka: Well, good luck with your work.
Natsuhi: Mhmm! Thanks, Nee-san.

SFX: clack [door closing]


p.12

Reiji: I’ve been awfully thirsty lately.
Did I sweat quite a bit?

SFX: yawn

SFX: glance

She’s still not asleep...
Is she... writing her novel...?


p.13
Reiji: WHOA!!!

Reiji: Na...Natsuhi!?

Natsuhi: I don’t know...
Reiji: Wh...what...!?
Natsuhi: What does saliva taste like?

Reiji: Wha!?

Natsuhi: The taste of the saliva of someone you’re French kissing... How should I express it?
Natsuhi: Sweetness? Saltiness? Bitterness?
SFX: step, step


p.14
[none]


p.15
Natsuhi: Saliva...
SFX: thump x 3

Natsuhi: Is flavorless!! That’s what it was!!
Natsuhi: A French kiss tastes like flavorless saliva!!

Natsuhi: Problem solved!!
Next! Next!!
SFX [black]: stare~

SFX: jolt
...!?


p.16

Reiji: Uh... Um...

Reiji: A– Ayaka nee-san!! Th– that’s not it! It was an act of God or something!!

Ayaka: I know, since I was also watching...

Reiji: Whaa?

Ayaka: You were forcibly kissed, right? It wasn’t your fault.
SFX: phew
Reiji: Ne– Nee-san...

SFX: smile


p.17
Ayaka: Penalty game, then. Do the same thing to your nee-san.*
*[to me]
Reiji: Huh...?
Reiji: ?

Ayaka: You don’t want to with me? You have to do it fairly.
I won’t forgive you if you don’t~
Reiji: Oh... I see... in that case...

Reiji: Well then, good night Nee-san...!

Reiji: ...?


p.18
Ayaka: What kind of joke was that?

Ayaka: Do the same thing as* with Natsuhi-chan.
*[Alt: same thing you did with]
...!?


p.19
Reiji: Th– the same thing...!? You mean... on the... l– lips with you, Nee-san!?
Ayaka: Right... Do it.

SFX: thump, thump

Th– this is out of desperation...!!


p.20
SFX: peck

Reiji: Please let me off with that, Nee-san!!
Ayaka: Re– Reiji...!!
SFX: dash

SFX: close
Ayaka: ......

It’s completely... not the same, but...
This is, well...

Natsuhi mutter: what, what
Natsuhi: ......


p.21
Taker Net... You can’t log on to it unless it is with your own name.
Of course it’s not possible to search for information on other people on the net... I wonder how it’s set up...

Level 1 is regeneration...
There’s no change in skills... it seems.

It’s already been 1 week since we came back home... There doesn’t seem to be any trace of an attack or any strange activity...

As I thought, they won’t haphazardly attack us because some time has passed since we became Takers...


p.22
Although we haven’t actually learned any notable skills... Things such as our cooperation with Misaki-san
May have combined to produce an effect to inhibit the enemies’ novice hunts...

SFX: Ahahaha
Ayaka: ...!

Reiji: Kuhahaha! That’s rich!! Haha!
Natsuhi: Really~ that so makes me laugh! Kyahaha!

Natsuhi: ......
SFX: Kyahahaha x 2

Reiji...


p.23
He’s purposefully trying to act cheerful in order to forget Misaki-san’s last moments...
The reason he accepted Natsuhi-chan’s suggestion... is also to use that to recuperate.

Reiji: Hey, aren’t you going too fast? Don’t take my share as well!
Natsuhi: The high schooler should satisfy himself with that~
※ Drinking by minors is prohibited by law!
[They’re drinking Asahi, a popular Japanese brand of beer.]

Reiji: You’re a high schooler yourself~!!
Ayaka mutter: Since when...
Natsuhi: It’s okay for me! My mental age is different~
Ayaka: ......

Ayaka: Should I make some snacks so you don’t drink too much?


p.24
Natsuhi: Oh, Ayaka nee-san! Tomorrow’s Sunday, so let’s go to the amusement park or something! Let’s go!
Ayaka: The amusement park?

SFX: stare

Ayaka: She’s wearing something today...
Ayaka: What is it all of a sudden?
Reiji: As I was talking to her, she suddenly got nostalgic.
Isn’t it alright? You may oppose it if it’s just us 2, but since it’s 3 people.
Natsuhi: Right, right! Let’s have fun like back then!

Ayaka: Yeah... I don’t think that’s a bad idea...
Natsuhi: Right~!?

Natsuhi: Is the air dry here? My back’s ichy.


p.25
Natsuhi: Hmm~? I can’t reach it.
SFX: scratch, scratch

Ayaka: Na– Natsuhi-chan!! You’re not wearing anything again!?
Natshi: Mm?

Natsuhi: What are you saying!? See, I’m hiding my bottom today.

Ayaka: There’s no meaning to it if you don’t wear something on the bottom, is there!?
Ayaka: Hmm!?


p.26
Natsuhi: Why~? Even though I have it covered down there with my shirt!?
Ayaka: I’m saying that’s not good! Properly wear a skirt or pants!

Natsuhi: What’re you saying is so wrong about relaxing at home?

Ayaka: This isn’t just your space, right? And Reiji is here, too...!!

Natsuhi mutter: Heh...
Natsuhi: Hmph... In the end, the root of the argument is Reiji, right?

Natsuhi: I finally understand it. Ayaka nee-san...!!
You didn’t like Reiji seeing my panties or my thighs!!
SFX: blush

Ayaka: I– it’s not a matter of me liking it or not!
Natshi: But you know! It’s my principle to consider hiding the beauty a female possesses! To be a sin!!


p.27
Natsuhi: If it bothers you so much, why don’t you just show them as well, Nee-san?
Reiji mutter: Eeeeek

Natsuhi: Speaking of which, don’t you always wear long ones...?
Is your lower body fatter or something by any chance?
Ayaka: Wh– what was that...!? I have a bit of confidence in my legs...!!

Ayaka: I– I might have... some... confidence...
Ayaka mutter: I– I have muscle on them, but...
Ayaka mutter: It’s only a little...
Natsuhi: Oh~?

Ayaka: Eek!!
Natsuhi: Then show them to us! Your beautiful legs, nee-san!!


p.28
Reiji: Natsuhi!! What are you doing~!!!?

Natsuhi: Now, now~ you judge us, Reiji. Which is more beautiful~?


p.29
Ayaka: I– I’m also... not wearing long clothes because I don’t... have any confidence...!

SFX: stare

Reiji: B– both of you!!
Quit it already~!!


p.30
SFX: Haha
SFX: Kyahaha

It’s certain that two are Takers...
The other one is most likely... a normal human...


p.31
SFX: smirk

?: It seems...
?: I can use that somehow...


p.32
Natsuhi: Yay~ It’s really the amusement park~

Natsuhi: I’ll go through all the rides~!
Natsuhi: Both of you better prepare yourselves!

Ayaka: Oh, Natsuhi-chan~ She’s completely into it, and it’s like when she was a kid...

Ayaka: What’s wrong? Reiji... you seem to be pale...

Reiji: I finally remembered after coming here...

Reiji: I get severe motion sickness from rides...
Reiji mutter: I’m scared...
Ayaka mutter: Oh, now that I think about it...


p.33
Reiji: She seems awfully good with rides, so can I ask you to tag along with Natsuhi for this?
Ayaka: I’m not really that good with them either, but... if you say so, Reiji...

Natsuhi: Geez! What are you two doing!!?

Natsuhi: This! Let’s ride this!!
Sign: Super Dimensional Train
Sign [black]: Experience the death!!!
Natsuhi: You seem to “die” the most on this!!

Reiji mutter: Just as I thought.
Reiji mutter: Please, nee-san.
Ayaka mutter: Experience death...?
Ayaka: Th...that makes me lose confidence...


p.34
[none]


p.35
Natsuhi: That last one really was too mild! Let’s go with this next!!
SFX: Kyaha x 2
Ayaka: Naturally! There’s no meaning to it if it’s not fast! It’s got to be fast!!
Reiji: What was that seeming lack of confidence before...??

Reiji: Say, how about a little break?
Ayaka: Oh, Reiji, sorry.
Natsuhi: What? Have you given up after only that?

Reiji: I’ve gotten thirsty. Do you want some drinks?
Ayaka: Sounds nice.
Natsuhi: Oh, in that case I saw a booth.

Natsuhi: I’ll go buy them~

Reiji: Fuhee~ Why is that Natsuhi so tough?
Reiji: I’m barely hanging on just keeping up...


p.36
Ayaka: You’re right. Maybe it’s because she grew up in America?
It was like she changed personalities when she got on a ride~
Reiji: You were also at the same level, Nee-san.

Reiji: But... it really was good that I came.
Natsuhi: Mm?

Natsuhi: Yeah...
Natsuhi: It may have been good...


p.37
?: Wow~ You’re a couple that looks well together.
Reiji: ?

Reiji: ...?
SFX: smile x 2

Reiji: Oh, we’re not like that...
?: Oh my, is that so?
Ayaka: But we’re siblings.

SFX: smirk

?: I see, so you amiably became Takers together as siblings~?


p.38
Ayaka: Are you...!?
Ayaka: A Taker!?

?: Stop! Stop!!
Ayaka: !
?: Do you seriously intend on sword fighting in the middle of this crowd!?

?: I haven’t said anything about fighting...
?: I want to trade information with you for both our sakes, but do you want to move to a place where we won’t be seen?


p.39
?: That way, I can protect my identity just in case,
And you won’t have to involve your friend...
......!?

Reiji: Wh– what did you do with Natsuhi!?
?: Oh my, nothing yet.

?: I’ll only say this now...

SFX: smirk
?: Though, if my deal goes bust and a fight breaks out here...
It might mean I can’t guarantee that your friend will stay safe forever...


p.40

Reiji: !

What is it...!?
Is she thinking of going at it...!?

Reiji: Nee-san...! What are you doing!!?
Ayaka: Why would you get yourself cajoled by the enemy...?

Ayaka: It’s our top priority to ensure our safety in this case.
Reiji: N– No way...!!

Reiji: A– anyways, stop it for a bit!!
For now, it’s not a good idea to fight here!
Ayaka: R– Reiji...


p.41
?: What are you thinking!? Isn’t your little brother’s reaction natural in this situation!?
?: This woman’s ridiculously unbelievable!
Do you want to announce that you’re a Taker here or something!?

Ayaka: Do you think we’d follow you even though your trap’s as clear as day?
?: ......
?: Are you that afraid of changing locations?
I’m saying we’re only going to talk, you know?

Reiji: Let’s go. Now that we’ve been found, we’ll continue to be targeted.
Ayaka: Even though she doesn’t know her enemies’ abilities*... She must be planning something...?
*[It could also mean “Even though we don’t know the enemy’s abilities.” Hard to say, really.]

Reiji: There’s only one enemy. I don’t think Takers would act in groups that easily,
And it’s also viable to respond after changing locations...
Ayaka: ......

?: Well? Did you finish your discussion? Will you come?


p.42
It’s a Taker’s nature to be unable to trust others... It’s not a simple matter for Takers, who hunt each other, to act in teams... eh.
Ayaka: ...I got it...

Natsuhi: I’m~ baaack~!!

Natsuhi: Hmmm~?

Natsuhi: What? Is this!!? They’re gone together!?
Natsuhi: What’s up with those siblings, really~!!?


p.43
Natsuhi: The smell that they’re dodgy siblings seems to be getting stronger and stronger...
I believe this merits some investigation, but how about you Watson...?

Natsuhi: If you’re doing something dirty when I find you, I’m gonna kill you~!!
Natsuhi: You forbidden siblings...!!


p.44
Sign: Under construction
We are terribly sorry for causing you trouble.

Reiji: Is this...

Reiji: A planetarium?
Reiji: Where you gaze at stars...?

Why a place like this...?
Reiji: So is it really... a trap...!? Even though you said it was a deal...!!

Reiji: Are you after our life after all!?
But it won’t be that easy!!
Reiji: We have two people, and have gained skills that you don’t know about!!


p.45
?: *giggle

?: You still don’t get it...? You guys...
It doesn’t matter what skills you have.
...!?
?: It’s obvious that I brought you here because I would have a 100% chance of winning.

?: Normally just changing locations won’t matter much...
?: Especially when you think you have an edge number wise.

?: But that naivety will cost you your lives!!


p.46
Reiji/Ayaka: ...!?

I can’t see anything...!?
Even right next to me!!

?: This is the end of the game~
Reiji: ...!?

?: You know, the stage equipment of darkness...? Changes it for me in one go.
?: To a stage for us Takers to hunt you, who have fallen from an equal standing.
