Re:Birth –The Lunatic Taker

p.01
Chapter 11 Weak Point


p.02
Reiji: Grr, it was a trap after all…!
Ayaka: Stay sensible, Reiji!

Ayaka: Judging from how she purposely lured us to someplace she can make pitch dark,
ayaka: It’s safe to say the enemy has some skill that can attack even in the darkness.
Reiji: …!

Damn…
I should have heeded Nee-san’s warning…

But, after hearing about Natsuhi getting involved…
We couldn’t have just reacted thoughtlessly…!


p.03
Kagami: But still, what a happy-go-lucky pair of siblings….

Kagami: To be able to want to have fun at an amusement park even though you only have 11 life…
How does she know our exact life…!?

Akaya: Looking up low levels…? But can you even get our numbers that way…?
Ayaka mutter: To the right!?

She’s moving around near us…
Is she measuring the timing for an attack…!?

Kagami: Did you know? If your life goes to 0 your body burns up into ashes and disappears.

Kagami: Which means you guys… After only 11 days…
Kagami: Will be reduced to dust, you know?


p.04
Reiji: It won’t go like that!! There’ll be one more interspacial time before that!!
Reiji: Then we’ll do whatever we can to get life…!!

Kagami: What? Interspacial time!? Are you talking about angel hunting?
SFX: giggle x 3
Kagami: You’re relying on something like that? It’ll be over the instant a medium-size comes out.

Ugh, that’s something I don’t want to remember…

Kagami: You’re aiming for a big win on a roulette… What a carefree guy.
SFX: giggle x 2
Kagami: You could come back alive if you’re lucky… but it’s most likely you’d die.

Reiji: Don’t mess with me…


p.05
Reiji: It won’t go like that!! We’ve survived, as you can see now!!
Reiji: We’ll definitely get it! We’ll hunt angels and survive!!

Kagami: That’s wishful thinking, right?
Kagami: But it’s no good. You guys’ll die in the end.

Reiji: Gaah!!
Ayaka: !?

Ayaka: Reiji!?
Reiji: Urgh…!?

Kagami: I have nothing against you two… but if you’re going to die anyways…

Kagami: Why don’t you… die after giving your life to me…?
Kagami: You’ll be helping someone out, right…?


p.06
Reiji: Argh…!!

Reiji: Raaaaa!!
Ayaka: …!!

Reiji: Nee-san!! The entrance should have been that way!!
Reiji: Grab my hand!!


p.07
Reiji: Gaaa!!
Ayaka: Reiji…!!

Ayaka: What’s wrong!? Reiji!!
SFX: throb throb
Ayaka: Don’t separate from me!!
Reiji: Ne…Nee-san…!!

Kagami: Are you making fun of me?
Kagami: Who said I’d let you go…?

Kagami: With the light completely shut out, your eyes will never get used to this…
Kagami: But I can see your movements completely… But I put safety first, so I’ll do this as carefully as a fox hunting rabbits.

Kagami: I’ll attack slowly to exhaust your strength …
Kagami: Then I’ll finish you off when it’s 100% safe…!!


p.08
I knew it…!
The enemy has a skill which lets her see in the dark…!!

Ayaka: Ack!!

Reiji: Nee-san!! What happened!?

Kagami: Oh…? You’ve got good intuition…
Reiji: …!
Kagami: I aimed for your vitals, but it missed.


p.09
Ha, haa, fu, fuu [panting]

It doesn’t look like my eyes will get used to the dark…
Ha, haa
We’re sure to lose at this rate…

Reiji… will also die…

Reiji……!!


p.10-11

…!?

Reiji: Was that you just now, Nee-san!?
Reiji: Are you okay!? Nee-san!!
Ayaka: I’m okay.

What? What was that!?
A fluke…!?


p.12

This’ll be certain!!

!!


p.13
Tss!!

Reiji: ?
SFX: unease
Reiji: ?

What…!!?
Why!? Why!? What is it!? What’s with her!!?

She can see me!?
That can’t possibly be true!


p.14
Haa
Fuu [more panting…]

……
Ha, haa

…!
Fu, fuu

Kagami: …!?


p.15

Wha…!?


p.16
D-don’t tell me! She…!!

My breathing and footsteps…!
She can pick up on my body’s presence!?

Breathing! Footfalls! Any by clashing our blades…!
I can measure our distances even in the dark!!


p.17
I can do it!!
I can beat her!!

C-crap…!!

Something’s wrong with her!!
The plan failed! I have to withdraw…!!

Kagami: !

…!?


p.18-19

Kagami: Er…!!

Kagami: Aaaaaa!!!

From over there…!!
She’s yelling and coming in…!


p.20
Kagami: K…ha!?

Reiji: Nee-san!! I found the entrance!
Over here, quickl…!!

…!?


p.21
Kagami: What is… with you…
Haa, haa [pants (I’m not wearing any) maybe we should just leave them in Japanese]

Kagami: You should have become a Taker just recently…
Kagami: This… is just wrong…

Ayaka: I don’t care about anything like that…
But…

…!?

Ayaka: Since you were aiming for people’s lives, I’m sure you’re suitably prepared?

Reiji: …!?

…!


p.22

…!!?

Reiji: What in the world!? Nee-san! What did you…!?

Kagami: Kuku…!
Ayaka: !

Kagami: Kuku! Kuhahaha!!
Kagami: Kyahahahahaha!!!


p.23
Kagami: I’m sorry! For not having any life to steal!!
Kagami: You see, this is what happens for failure after failure in angel hunting.

Kagami: Hunt angels the next time…!? How naïve can you get!?
Kagami: I wonder how one can become so simple.

Kagami: Should I tell you… the most effective method to survive?

Kagami: Hunt Takers! Kill your own kind!!
Kagami: That’s the quickest way! Right!?

SFX: haha haha haha


p.24
Ayaka: Don’t laugh!
Kagami: Whoa there…

Kagami: Wait a second.
Ayaka: !
Kagami: Can you take a look at this?

Reiji: !?
Ayaka: …!!

Reiji?: Natsuhi!?
…!?
Reiji: Wh-what…!? This video! Who’s taking it!?

Kagami: As you can see… This isn’t a picture…
Kagami: It’s a live video being taken as we speak…

Kagami: Now, I’ll have you back off if you realized the situation…


p.25
Kagami: If you…
Kagami: Understood that my ally holds your friend’s life in her hands!!

Natsuhi’s…
A hostage…?

Ayaka: Like a Taker could make allies so easily!!
Ayaka: This is some sort of trick…!!
Kagami: Well. You’re a lady who really doesn’t listen to others.

Kagami: It’s true that there’s nothing more dangerous than camaraderie among Takers…


p.26
Kagami: But Takers can have allies, too.
There’re even cases of organizations being set up from long ago.
Kagami: It’s necessary to create situations where you can never betray each other, though.

Situations… where you can never betray each other…?
What does that mean…?

Kagami: !!

Kagami: Ouch!!


p.27
Ayaka: These are the conditions for the exchange.
Kagami: …!?

Ayaka: Call your ally to a specified place.
Ayaka: We will return your mage device then. [umm I forgot what this was translated to before]
Kagami: That’s right, you should turn an ear to what others have to say.


p.28
Haruna: Kagami…!
Kagami: Hey~

Kagami: I failed. It was correct to have insurance after all.

Ayaka: Go on.
Kagami: I get it, don’t push.

Haruna: Kagami? Are you okay?
Kagami: Yeah, I’m sorry…

Kagami: You can rest easy now, right? This means your friend is unharmed… Give me back my mage device.

Ayaka: I can’t do that.
Kagami: !?


p.29
Kagami: Whaa!!?

Kagami: What are you trying to pull!!? That’s not what you promised!! For a Taker, a mage device is like a part of you!!

Ayaka: Why should we have to keep it?

Ayaka: If you’re done here, hurry and get out.

Kagami: I don’t want to, either.


p.30

Kagami: You saw my life, right? If I back down here, there’s no future for me.
Kagami: You guys are just the right prey that I finally found…
I tend to act only if it’s 100% safe, but,

Kagami: Now that it’s come to this, it’s already do or die, right!? I’ll take if from you no matter what!!

Kagami: !
Reiji: Hold up!!

Reiji: We don’t even know each other at all and we don’t have any grudges towards each other. And despite that you still try to kill us and survive yourselves?
Reiji: How can you do something like that? Doesn’t it pain your heart!?


p.31

Kagami: There’s a limit to sleeptalking, boy…
Reiji: !?

Kagami: How could we be thinking of others…

Kagami: When we’re gonna die if we don’t do it!!?
Kagami: Harunaaa!!


p.32
Ayaka: !?

Ayaka: !!

Ayaka: It’s almost as if I’m fighting two people…!!
Ayaka: I though it was someone I could beat…

Reiji: Nee-san!!


p.33

Fast…!!
Both the shadow and her real self…!!

Reiji: Nee-san! I’ll help!

Reiji: !?

Kagami: Did you think I was powerless…
Kagami: Without my mage device…?


p.34
Kagami: Diiiie!!

Kagami: Kya!?


p.35

Reiji: Nee-san!!

…!?

Kagami: !?


p.36-37
Kagami: AAAA!!!!!


p.38

Haruna: Kagamiii!!!

Now to finish her…!!

Reiji: Stop!!

Ayaka: Step back! Reiji!!
Reiji: What are you going to do? Are you trying to murder!?


p.39
Ayaka: Are you still talking about that!? They attacked us first!!
Ayaka: Hurry and get out of the way!!
Reiji: Even so!! If we were to do the same thing…!!

Ayaka: Now’s not the time for saying things like that…!!

Ayaka: We’re going after them!!


p.40

Ayaka: Ack!!
Reiji: Ayaka nee-san!

Reiji: You’re hurt too, Nee-san! Let’s stop it already!!

SFX: Grrr

That was…
The perfect chance to finish them off…!!


p.41

Reiji: Are you feeling a little better?
Ayaka: Yeah, looks like my wounds are mostly healed.

Reiji: I’m sorry, Nee-san. I’m such a wimp… I can’t even fight with you sufficiently…
Reiji: Because of my soft-heartedness, you’re always…

Reiji: But still… because I remembered about Ichirou-san… I couldn’t do it…
Reiji: To take someone’s life to survive…!


p.42
Ayaka: Look, it’s okay…
Reiji: …!

Ayaka: That’s what it’s like to be you, Reiji…
Ayaka: I like everything about you, including those parts…


p.43
Reiji: Is there anything I can do? Tell me anything!
Reiji: I want to do at least something else for you if I can’t be of any use in battle.

Reiji: I want to do what I can… for your sake, Nee-san.

Ayaka: Really? Then will you do this one thing…?
Reiji: Yep, tell me anything! What is it?


p.44
Ayaka: Let’s have… Natsuhi-chan leave our home.

Reiji: N- Natsuhi…?


p.45
