it was like in a dream
page 62
あの時
back then
今
I thought that…
ここで
やらなければ
unless I imidietly do this to him
自分が
やられる
they will do it to me

なぜだか
強くそう
信じていたんだ
And somehow I belived that
it would make me strong.

じゃあ
今から出発
するから
Well then… we’ll be departing now.
何も忘れ物は
ないね?
You sure you didn’t forget anything?

Yes

Page 63
ねえ 本当に
行っちゃうの?
Hey you really sure you want to go?
いつまでこんな
所で待つのよ
I’m not going to be waiting
THIS kind of place forever you know!

Sasajima…!

お願いだから
早く帰って
きてよ!
Please just make sure to hurry
up and come back, you got it!?

That’s precisely what
what we were planning to do!

Gosh you sure
are insistent ( find a better word if you have any)

Ayuchi-san

僕ら行きますんで
二人の事
よろしく頼みます
We’ll be counting on you
protecting these two while we’re gone

……yeah

っ– in this case it’s sound you make when
trying to say something but failing – ie silence :P

page 64
隣県って言っても
山越えたらすぐだ
even through everyone is calling it
the ‘next prefecture’ it’s right just over the mountain
そこから一番近い集落に
まず向かうから
and right after that, we are headed
to the nearest village whitch is quite close

あんま
心配すんな
yeah so don’t worry soo much

b-but there are people who didn’t
come back from there, arent there!?

Leave it be already Sasajima

2人とも行くつて覚悟
決めてんだからさ
it has already been decided that the
two of them will go alone, and it’s
too late to change that.

Well then we’ll be counting on
you being here then, Kawana-san…

what about me!?

Y- you too Sasajima-san…

page 65
there they went….

You’re getting
annoing…

page 66

2人とももう出発
したんだね
those two… they have already left didn’t they…
ちやんと
向こうの人と会えると
いいんだけど……
let’s hope that they can safely
meet with the people over there…

Ehm…. Koharu-san…

今日も小学校で
じじばばの介護
するの。。。?
You want us to nurse elderly at the
elementary school today too, don’t you…?

…. Mhm
yeah
your help would be greatly appreciated

After what have just happened!?
Don’t you think it’s a bit too dangerous!?

でも誰かが
しないと
いけないし
well it’s something
that has to be done
人手は
足りないし。。。
and we need some
help with it…

けどあの
変な病気が
移ったら!?
And what if all of us get infected!?

みんな
あんな風に
なっちゃう
かもよ!?
Everyone would become
like that, wouldn’t they!?

Page 67
No way… I don’t want that.

何か移らない方法が
あるなら別だけど
though if there was a possibility to
do it without the risk of infection
things would look diferent,,,

移るならとっくに
移ってるんじやない
if you were going to be infected then
you would have been long time ago.

Kawana…

What?

あんなすぐ近くにいて
しかも死体運ぶの
手伝ってんのに
移んないと思ってんの?
You really think you wouldn’t catch
it, after being so close to it all the time
and even after helping transport that corpse ?

それに部外者の私達に
手伝いを拒否する権利
なんてあると思う？
and do you think we, the outsiders that
we are, have the privilage to deny anything
they ask of us?
ないでしょ
of course we don’t

you…. again
with that tone…

私達が拒否れるんなら
小春さんだってとっくに
抜けれてるじやない
if we were refusing like that
then at least Koharu-san who
would be free from us a
long time ago

eh?

No…That’s not it…

page 69

そりやあ私はこの村じゃ
立場低いけど
そういう話じゃなくて
well … even through I’m not that
important in this village and I can’t reject their offer…
that isn’t the case here~~!

自分でお願いして
お世話させて
もらってるのよ
I myself asked them to be
entrusted with taking care of you.

本当！
Really!

確かに変な病気のせいで
何人か嫌がってる人も
いるけど
it certainly is true that there were few
peope who wouldn’t like to do this
because of this strange illness

みんながみんな
そうじゃないわよ
but everyone has their
own circumstances

自分の家族も
いるしね
most of them had to consider
their own family, right?
私は私で
思うところあるし
and here I was convienient
being by myself, so I
thought I would volunteer

私のだんなさんね
青年団の団長
やっててさ!
My husband is sort of the leader
of all the young men in the village…
何かあって時に
一番に駆けつけて
みんなを助けてくれるのよ
and when something happens he’s the first
one to come running to rescue everyone.

やっぱ そんな風に
自分もなりたいって
思うじゃなぃ？
eventually … Don’t you think you would want
to change yourself to be the way your loved one is?

Small: sort of

あっそこが
好きなんだ！
ah! That’s love
I see right there!!

page 69
そうそう
分かる!?
Yeah yeah
can you tell?

Sfx: kyaa

分かる
分かるっ
I can I can!

sfx: kyaa

何なのそれ
結局
男の話な訳？
What the hell…
In the end… it came
down to chat about men?

そうで
Well then…
その
だんなは?
And what about your husband?

もうすぐ
帰ってくるよ
He will be back
veery soon
page 70
さっ
well then…
今日も一日
がんばらないとね!
Today too let’s
give our best
Page 71
寝つけない
。。。。
damn I can’t
sleep…

何だか
somehow…
頭の中が異様に
テンション上がってる
my mind has started swirling
with birraze tension

「そんな風に
自分もなりたいって
思うじゃない?'
“Don’t you think you would want
to change yourself to be the way
your loved one is?”

そんなの
行動理由になる
なんて信じない
no way I can believe that’s
the reson for the actions I took

信じない
I don’t believe it

信じたく
ない
I don’t want to believe it

ぞっとする
it makes me shiver

たかが
恋愛で
with only that passion…

恋愛で
that passion…

page 72
big sfx over the whole
page: gokun – metal pipe hitting body

sfx: gahaa – suddenly erect

sfx : rustle

Ayuchi-san……?

Can’t sleep?
