この家と
君達親子には
悪霊が憑いている
there’s an evil spirit that attached
itself to this family and house

浄化しましよう
let’s start the purification

with these words…

with these words…

いつの間にか
after some time…

乗り移った気に
なってしまって
it felt as if real evil
spirit possessed everything

I finaly came out of that house

夏でした
it was summer

and on the outside…

悪霊が
いて
I feared…
怖くなって

is there too…

自分が殺される
and that I have to
defeat it before it kills me…

うち
一人が

page 84

い。。。
いちから
やり直しました
e…eventually they’ve fixed me…

いろんな事を
in manny aspects…

や。。。やり直したんなら
何で今ここでそんな事
打ち明けるの?
If… if you were fixed then
how come you suddenly confessed
it all to me in such a place like this?

Kawana-san

き 聞きましたよね
前にーーーー
Y… you’ve asked
me before …

人を殺した時
どんな気持ち
だったか
what did I feel at the moment
of killing someone

s…
so I wanted to ask you what
was it that you felt when you killed?

Page 85
あんな奴
死んで
当然だ!
That guy had to die!!

どれだけ私が
苦しめられたか
分かる!?
Do you have any idea how much
Suffering this bastard caused me!?

あいつのお陰でどれかで
私が諦めたと思う!?
Do you know how much I had
to give up on because of him!?


あいつはそんな事
分かろうともしない
自分さえ良ければ
いいのよ
but even though he knew all that he didn’t care
as long as he got what he wanted!!
あんただって
分かるでしょ!?
You understand what I mean right!!?

あいつは
This guy…!!!

これは
this is…

死んでほうが
みんなのため
だったのよ
it’s better for everyone if he was simply dead!!

Page 86
こんだけ
人間がいるの
there really are humans such as this!!

そんな人間だって
いるのよ
And that’s the only thing some of them are good for!!

私が
this is me…

私の心を支える
ための言葉だ
supporting my soul
with this words

good

THAT guy was that
kind of a person

でなければ
because if I don’t….
私が私で
いられない
I won’t be able
to live with myself

page 87

i… I too..

think that way…

thank you

Kawana-san

That …
Is it really alright?

Because I was wondering…..

….w-well.

Page 88
人が
is it really alright
人を
for humas
そうやって
選別して
良いのでしょか?
to categorise other humas like this?

Wh…

Page 89

What the….

シェルター?
何でこんなものが
こんな所に
An Shelter…?
Why is such a thing overhere…
(note: they said “shelter” in english by katakana – … but I think they might have mistaken the word “shelter” for “blockade/ shield” or eventually “valut”… you’ll guess why I think this after reading several more pages)

しかも
下りてるし。。。
and it’s even an
underground one….

これ国道
だよな？
this is national
highway, isn’t it?

そうさ
隣県へのルートで
道が残ってそうな
ここだけだ
yeah.
And I thought if any road to the
next prefecture were to survie,
this would be the one...

他の道は地震で
通れなくなってな
all the other roads were rendered
unpassable by the earthquakes

まいった…何日か
前はこんなんじゃ
なかったのに
damn… and only several days
ago it was still passable…

page 90
あとの
直は？
so where do we go now?

ひたすら
山道になるがなあ
時間かかるな
well all that’s left is the mountain
trail… though it will take some time

このトンネルのある山
全部越えにゃならん
whitout this tunnel here we’ll have
to climb all the way through the whole mountain

…all the way

…he
he he (kind of sfx simmilar to laughing)

のぞむところだ!
伊達に野球部で
体鍛えちゃ
いないんだ!!
This is just perfect!
Now I won’t even have to forgdge
my body with dilligent practice to
keep up my baseball skills!!

( tl note: where the hell did that come from?
tl answer to himself: AH I remember now! Baseball teams in japan sometimes do “mountain practice camps” in summer break =^^=)

sorry about that….

No no don’t worry…

Page 91

でもどうしま
しょうか
but what do we do now..
もう日は暮れてるし
今から山道は…
the day is coming to an end
and going now on the
mountain trail is a bit…

…朝になって
からだな
…then till the
moning, right?

野宿ですね
yeah let’s make
an camp.

Can’t be helped

Should we rest here?

でも不思議
ですね
though that sure is strange isn’t it…

国道ってこんなもの
ついてるもんなん
ですか?
So why do you think they’ve set
up such a thing on national highway?

Well I guess that’s just the way people think…

海のほうに
化学工場や
発電所あるでしよ
Since in the direction of the sea
there’s a lot of chemical factories
and power plants….

何か事故があった
時のための封鎖用だ
then they will just blok up this passage
in case something happened.

それじゃこの先は
切り捨てるみたいじゃ
…then it almost seems like all the area
from this point was “left for the wolfs”…
(note: he says “cannon fodder” – but he means “written off as a loss/thrown away”)

page 92
その通り
だなあ
that’s exactly it
結局 誰も助けちゃ
くれないって
事かねえ
after all… most likely not
everyone can be saved

…still

でもホラ
これが作動してるって
事は向こう側が無事って
事ですよ
all that this means is that over at the
other side they are most likely safe

right?

Sfx: crunching foots on leaves

…huh?

Page 93
Damn to hell this mini commix…. I don’t waaaannaaa ~~~~
