h... hey...
Kawana...

Sasajima!
Oh and Kawana too!

Yatomi-san

What has happened!?

Uhmm…

昼間 弥富さん達と
一緒だったおじさん
呼びに行ったよね？
You remember the guy who called
out to you guys in the morning?

yeah

そこのおじちゃん
家に運んで。。。
その。。。
well…. We helped transport this
guy’s grandfather to his house…. But ehm….

頭が
おかしくなった人が
急に人を襲ったのよ
someone went nuts and has
suddenly started attacing people.

Kawana!

簡単に
言うとそんな
トコロ
Well I put it simply but
that is precisely the point.

“The point” you say….

… there’s something…

really strange going on here.

Even if you
say strange….

Page 43

おじいちやん死んだ時も
暴れてた人押さえ込んだ時も
Both when the old man died… and when they suddenly
had to restrain voilent person with superior numbers…
手際良すぎる
They were too efficient at it.

…それって今日が
初めてじゃ
ないって事?
…you’re saing… that this
isn’t the first time it happened?

多分
Probably

この村
There is definitely….
何かおかしい
something strange about this village.

邪魔だよ
Don’t block the way! (/move your ass!)

Uaa!

おばはん
midle aged hag

page 44
oh great, everyone is together already!

Koharu-san

今からみんなで相談
しなきやいけないから
あなた達も
I guess it’s time for you all to join
in on our meeting today,

right?

So Akemi-san is
done for huh.

もう悠長に
構えてる余裕は
ねえよ
we can’t allow ourselves
leave things as they are any longer

何か手を
打たねえと
We have to get
something for it!

しかし
なあ
but
still…

page 45

Koharu-san

Hmm?

明美さんて
あの暴れてた人
ですよね
Akemi-san
Is that woman that went volient right?

yeah

倒れる前は
本当に普通だつたし
今日もすごい熱で伏せつ
いたんだけど…ね
before she’s fallen ill she
was preatty much normal
person. And all day she had very
high temperature and was bedridden.

熱…つていうと
やっぱり脳症の類
なのかな
High temperature you say…
Than I guess it was some kind of brain feaver

脳症？
brain feaver?

高熱で奇行症状が
出たりするんだよ
people under very high feaver such
as this show signs of very eccentric beheviour

治るの?
Can it be cured?

一時的なものも
あるけど…
well some of them might
be temporary but still…

Yeah that is true…

良くなつたら
いいんだけどね…
though that only applyes if
their condition get’s better…

ah

page 46

おかしい
ままなんだ
みんな
So everyone goes nuts
here from time to time…
…right?

eh?….

川名
Kawana!

これ前から
あるんですよね?
You had this for
some time now, right?

いつから
So how long?

もうやめとけって
川名
Stop this already Kawana!

危険なら
確かめたほうが
いいでしよ
It’s better for us to know
what dangers we face, right?

page 47
…最初から
じゃないのよ
…it wasn’t like
this at first…

あの光が落ちて
しばらくしたあたりから
おかしなのが流行りだしてね
… for some time after the lights falling
from sky* there was nothing particulary
abnormal and litle creazines of old people
was peaty much their basic quality like usual.

(*I swear they are talking like that :P)


最初は年寄りが
発狂死して
But then suddenly some of the eldery started
being driven to madness and dying violently

こんな状況で
助けなんてあてに
出来ないし
医者もここにはいないしね
in this kind of situation there’s no
way we can count on rescue coming…
and we don’t have our own doctor.
それでも
どこまで効果あるか
分からないけど
So even though we have no idea
how effective they might be…
色々自分達なりに
対策は取ったのよ
but we’ve addopted as much our own
couter-measures as possible.
免疫が落ちてる
年配者はみんな集めて
なるべく外に広がらない
ようにして
For egzample we’ve gathered all old people
whos immune systems are mostly
weakened in order to restrict possibility
of it’s spread as much as possible.

生水は避けたり
とか
plus other things like
avoiding unboiled water.

えっ水
飲んじゃっ
たよ!?
Eeeh !? But
i drank it!

そこに私達 出入り
してたんですか?
And you guys let us into this mess?

ごめんね
でも人手
足りないのよ
really sorry about that… but
we really needed some help with work.

Page 48
And what about children?

Doesn’t this village have at least some children?

Ah … I didn’t see
any children either…

now that you mention…

子供はまた別に
隔離されてるの
children are being
isolated somewhere else.

a…
子供は無事
なんですか？
are you sure those
children are safe?

話の分からない
人だなぁ！
You completely don’t get
what I’m talking about!
だから後手に
まわるんだ
I say that we can’t
loose the initiative!

いくら哲ちゃんらが
帰ってこないからって
待ってても何も始まら
ねえんだ
Tacchan and others aren’t coming
back and no matter how long we wait
nothing will change becouse of it!
他に助けを求めるために
山を越えよう！
We have to send someone over the
mountains to get some help again!

山越えてもここと
同じだつたらどう
and what if ower the
mountain is as bad as here!?

越える前から
言つてもムダだ！
Like I said before it’s still
to early to cross over!!

田んぼも畑も
これから忙しい
がよ
both fields and farms will
be very busy from now on

明美さん皮切りに
次々倒れていつたら
それどころじやねえ
but if we all start collapsing
like Akemi-san did, then they
won’t really matter much, now will they!?

村が全滅
しちまう
we’ll be facing
total anihilation!

山越えたらすぐ
隣県の自治体が
あるの
right over the mountain they should be
preatty much much self suficant
and have government authority.

Yeah…

I’m going!

Toshio-san!
Calm down a bit!

If Totsu-chan went then so can I!

Page 50
やめろ!!
この状況で
それこそ何人も
外に出せるか！
Stop this right now!
There’s no way I will let so many people
go unther these cinrcumstances!

トシだつて子供
いるだろうが
And Totsu is my
son for god’s sake!

嫁さんー人に任せて
もしもの時は
どうするつもりだ
Besides who do you think will care for
your wife when it comes to worst huh!?
少しは考えろ
Try to use your brain a little!

Excuse me…

I
will go.

Page 51

Sa-

Hey Wait there a moment Sannou!

僕ならここに
家族もいないし
身軽ですから
I don’t have any family here, and I’m agile.

それに若いから
体力もあります
also I’m young and don’t lack psyhical strenght

あんたは確かに
村に関係はないが
well it is true that you have
no special connections to the village…
だからこそ
信用がない
but that is allso the reason why we cant trust you.

助けを求めに行って
帰ってくる保障は？
what guaranteee do we have that you’ll
come back from the search for the rescue?

We don’t, right?

But


誰かが行かないと
いけないんですよね
it will be bad if noone goes… right? … And if so…
僕が行きます
then that the more reason why I should go

And the guarantee of my return are my friends who’ll stay here.

Sfx: gaa (wha-)
勝手に話を
進めるなよ
don’t decide things on your own and splurt them about!

Page 53
Because If you’re going then so am I!


Eeh… no way!
I’m going to!
You won’t leave without me!

Ehm…

ちよつと待て!!
次から次に行くつて
言い出したらキリねー
だろ!!
Hey hold your horses!!
Stop Splurting one after another
that you’ll go! And don’t cut in
when someone else is talking!

保障の意味も
ねーよ！
Besides there won’t be any guarantee that way will there!?

But~~!

Hey gramps

私は村の事とか
分からないし何でそんなに
外に出したくないのか
理解出来ないけど
I don’t really know much about
your village, and I have absolutely
no idea why you feel soo strongly
about not letting any of your people to
go outside…

but let me say you just this.

Page 53
山王くんは
信頼出来る
人間だし
Sannou-kun is really reliable person
子供だからって
バカにしないで
don’t assume he’s fool
just becouse of his age

Kawana-san….

Page 54
じゃあ
早朝に家の前
集合で
then we’ll meet infront of the house early in the morning

山頂は迷うから
村から一人同行して
くれる
summit of the mountain is easy to get lost at, so
one villager will acompany you for some time

とにかく急ぎの
体力勝負だ
either way that will be test
of speed and endurence for you
十分睡眠を取って
休んでくれな
so make sure to get planty of
sleep and rest when needed.

気をつけて
本気で早く
帰つてきてぶ
Be carefull and then make sure to
hurry up and come back!

Damn stop it already~~~!
Really!

何回も言
うなてば!!
How many times do you plan
to tell me this for god’s sake!!

Small: annoing

Ayuchi-san
