Chapter 13: The Weight of Life


p.03
Haruna: Even though they’re lives that were once supposed to be dead...
Those who have been granted life again...

Haruna: Shouldn’t you be grateful just for that?

Reiji: Just because it’s a life that was once supposed to be dead...! Are you saying it’s okay to live any way you want the second time?
Reiji: While people are killing other people...


p.04
Reiji: To keep living with a straight face while taking other people’s lives...!!
Reiji: Don’t say that like it’s completely natural!!

Haruna: People...
...!?
Haruna: Can only survive by taking other lives anyways...


p.05
Haruna: Isn’t that right? You eating every day... and the clothes you’re wearing, of course...
Haruna: Everything in this world is made upon the sacrifices of other living things...

Haruna: It’s just that... you don’t try to look at it...
Haruna: At the reality...

Haruna: That you yourself are an existence that can’t even live one day without having to sacrifice something...


p.06

Haruna: Is it that strange for people to kill other people in order to live? You just haven’t realized it, right? Even looking at history, the reason for every massacre was for self-preservation.
Haruna: No, it still would’ve been nice if it was just self-preservation.

Haruna: They can kill tens of thousands of people without a second thought if it was for their own benefit.
Haruna: That’s the inherent skill people are born with...

Haruna: To sacrifice anything and be satisfied with it if it’s for themselves! That’s the kind of creatures we are!!!
Reiji: You’re wrooong!!!


p.07
Reiji: You can’t call that human!! It’s mistaken! That’s nonsense to twist our dignity as people!
Reiji: Compassion!! And human honor!!

Reiji: People who are driven by their own gains and sacrifice others...
Reiji: People like that...

Reiji: Are only those who’re broken somewhere!!!

Haruna: Ku ku ku...
Haruna: Ha ha ha...


p.08
Haruna: Ahahahahaha!! Kukuku,
Haruna: Kyahahahahaha! Kihihihi!!!

Sh-she’s crazy...?
So suddenly... Why...?

Haruna: Broken, you say...? What is...? Where’re they broken?
Haruna: You still don’t seem to get it, so I’ll tell you...

Haruna: This is the true nature that people should originally have!!
Haruna: What you call broken people is their true form!!

Haruna: Under the cage called laws, that instinct is called ego and treated as poison, isn’t it!? It’s the complete opposite in the world we belong to!!
Haruna: This is the world where only those who more deeply understand that true human nature! Their true essence!! Can survive!!


p.09
Haruna: You’re out if you’re not one of those humans who thinks nothing of sacrificing others for themselves!
Haruna: You will die in obscurity on the losing side!! As a loser!!

Haruna: If you’re hungry, you’re supposed to eat, aren’t you...?
Haruna: Help others by sacrificing yourself...? Stop spouting stupid things.

Haruna: I...
Haruna: Definitely won’t become a loser like that...

I’m... not a loser... I can win...
In this world, even I have the power to win...!!

Haruna: I’ll survive...
Haruna: I’ll keep winning from here on as well... and I’m going to survive...


p.10
Haruna: Like I would ever throw away
Haruna: The life that Kagami gave me!!!!

Kagami...!?
SFX: whip
The one that was with her...!?

Reiji: ...!?

Reiji: Gah!!!


p.11
Ugh...!! She...!!
Had that...!!

Reiji: Ah...ck...!!

Haruna: I’m not someone who loses... I’m not a loser.
Haruna: I have power now...

Haruna: Because Kagami’s not here... I have to win even by myself...


p.12
Haruna: That’s right...
Haruna: I can’t be together with Kagami anymore...

Heeey!!
You’re bullying Haruna again! You guys!!

Kagami: Haruna, why don’t you fight!?
Kagami: You have to stand up to the bullies even if you have to bite them!

Haruna: But...
Haruna: I want to get along with everyone...

Haruna: I don’t want to... hurt anyone...


p.13
Kagami: I’m like that too. But look, there’re a lot of people who aren’t like that in this world.
Kagami: It’s crawling with idiots who feel good by bullying others, you know?

Kagami: You don’t have to think about people like that.
Kagami: That’s just the excuse of a loser who runs away!

Kagami: So fight, Haruna.
Kagami: Because I’ll always fight with you...

You have to fight and win... and proudly enjoy your own life...
Haruna: Kagami...

Haruna: That’s right...
Haruna: In this world... there’s an untold number of warped people...


p.14
Haruna: Why is it bad to fight in order to live in that kind of world!!? I haven’t thrown away my dignity as a human!!
Haruna: Now that I’m a Taker... now that I was thrown in this game! This is my way of life!!

Haruna: It’s the same with the others!!
Haruna: Everyone, in order to live...!! They’re just fighting in order to live!!!

Haruna: !


p.15-16

Reiji: Nee-san!!

Ayaka: Reiji! Your sword!!

Haruna: That’s right... In the end, your basis is the same...
Haruna: You can’t help... but want to kill me and take my life...

Haruna: But! Killing me!!
Haruna: Won’t be that easy!!


p.19

Are her injuries healed...?
Even so... how can Nee-san move like that...!!?

Ayaka: Reiji...!?

Ayaka: Don’t stop me this time!! We can’t handle this girl’s skill!!
Ayaka: We beat her this time by chance with a surprise attack, but it doesn’t mean we can win again next time!!

Reiji: So what!!!!!


p.26

Reiji: What about it? Nee-san... after that... do you want to say...
Reiji: We’re going to kill her because now’s our chance!!?

Ayaka: That’s... not it...

Reiji: You being like this!! Aren’t the Ayaka-nee-san that I know!!
Reiji: You’re not Nee-san!!!


p.27
Reiji: Tell me! Nee-san! Can people really not keep living without hurting other things!?
Reiji: Is this what we really are!?

Ayaka: That’s...

Reiji: We have little life left. That’s true... we’ll probably die in the end if we fail to get life this time...
Reiji: But you know... if we survive like that... what’ll happen?

Reiji: Killing like that in order for us to live! And changing who we are completely while taking people’s lives...!!
Reiji: Can you really call that living!?

Reiji: To live...
Reiji: Even if it’s just for one day...


p.28
Reiji: It should be right to live and die as human beings...
Reiji: That’s what it means... for us... to be human...


p.29

Ayaka: Let’s go.
Reiji: ...?

Reiji: Where...?
Ayaka: Where... obviously...

Ayaka: We’re going to hunt angels.
Reiji: ...!!


p.30
Ayaka: The interspacial time hasn’t ended yet. We have to do what we can...
Ayaka: We can’t sit still like this and wait for our death.
I don’t care if it were just me... but,

Ayaka: I will never let you die in a place like this.

Ayaka: Come with me.
Ayaka: I’m ordering you as an older sister.

She was this strong a person...
My sister...


p.31

Even if it’s just for one day...
It should be right to live and die as human beings!!

Make sure...

Haruna: For the sake of that... I...

Haruna: If I could... I’d be with Kagami...
Haruna: Always... from now on...

Reiji: Don’t talk anymore...!! Any more than this...!!


p.40
Haruna: You guys... are strong...
...!
Haruna: Your mind, and body... and your luck, too...

Haruna: I see... if I were strong like you guys... maybe I could survive... without killing other people... but...

Haruna: There are many who can’t keep living without sacrificing others...

Haruna: Yes... people who have to bring others down...

Haruna: Or else they can’t keep going...
Haruna: Because the world is always unfair...


p.41
Haruna: People like that... to desperately struggle to live...
Haruna: For people who know that unless they step on others... it’ll happen to them...

Haruna: To try to live...
Haruna: Is that such an inhuman thing...?

Haruna: You’re lucky...
Haruna: Without hurting anyone, and without being hurt yourself...

Haruna: Always... being able to walk... on the path you’ve decided on...
Haruna: People like that...
