寝過ごすのはいい!!だけど遅刻は嫌だっ

Because if I'm late,
ほんの少しではあるけど...

ふ――あとはゆっくり歩いても間に合う...
Phew, now even if I walk slow, I'll still make it...
ハアッ　ハアッ {circled SFX}
Haah Haah
つーかこのクールダウンを計算に入れないと...
Anyways, I've gotta put this cooling down into my calculations...

息の上がった状態で教室に入るコトになり逆に目立つからな...
Or else I'll end up going into the classroom gasping for breath and stand out even more...

My tension got so high from the overwhelming deliciousness of this planet's doughnuts...
地球人１人轢き殺しちまうなんて

やっぱコイツ地球人じゃないのかよ!!
So this guy's not an Earthling after all!!


pg 8/332
しかし...
Still...
何でこんな所をボケ――っと１人で歩いてるかねェ...
Why was he walking all spaced out by himself in a place this anyway...?

And he's really getting on my nerves!!!!!

Hey! Listen real careful, Earthling.
意識はギリあるかもしれんがキミはもう「死人」だ
You might barely be conscious, but you're already a "dead man."
命が感じられない...
I can't sense any life...
死んだと言っていい
It's fine to say you're dead.
くっ

そこで...
And so...

俺の命をキミにやるコトにする
I'm gonna give my life to you.

ハッキリ言って最悪だがもうこれしかないのだ... {normal text}
色々考えた結果 {small text}
Frankly, this sucks bad, but it's the only way left...

This is just...

俺にとてつもない怪力が宿ったとしか考えられん...
The only thing I can think of is that I got some unbelievable, superhuman strength...
持ったモノはことごとく破壊してしまい投げたモノは彼方まで飛んでいく...
Anything I hold gets destroyed, and anything I throw flies far, far away...

クラス一の変人であり {Narration Box}
The weirdest person in the class,
彼が最も理解に苦しむ存在である朝緒カユという女子に―――― {Narration Box}
and also the one he has the hardest time understanding, a girl named Asao Kayu,
マジウケル {text above teary-eyed kid}
Too funny
ざわ ざわ{gray SFX}
zawa zawa
でもどーやったんだ？ {handwritten text on bottom left}
But how'd he do it?

ひいた顔をされたコトだったという {Narration Box}
Looked at him with a repulsed face.
ガーン {SFX}
GAAN
......... {Asao}
こんな奴にまでひかれた―――!!? {Ryuta-thought}
Even someone like her was repulsed---!!?


pg 18/342
朝緒カユ...!!
Asao Kayu...!!
常に触角を頭につけ...
Always putting antennae on her head...

いわゆる「電波」の女に...

looked down on*, gaaahhh---- *lit: looked at with those eyes, the gaaahhh is just because he's yelling (inside his head)
Gaahh--
Gah-
声には出さず　屋上で叫ぶオレ {handwritten text}
Me shouting on the roof, not actually letting it out.

何とかしてよ...神様
Please do something about this...God
何とかしてやろう
I'll do something for you.


pg 19/343
ん？
Hn?

神様!?
God!?

は？
Ha?

いきなり神様とか...
Suddenly calling for God or something...
こわっ {Sparrow}
Scary.

何イイイイイイ!?
Whaaaaaaat!?
椿龍太喋る雀に遭う {Narration Box}
Tsubaki Ryuta meets a talking sparrow.


pg 20/344
信じらんねェ...!!
I can't believe it...!!

朝俺を轢いたのが本当に宇宙人だったなんて...！
The one who ran me over this morning was really an alien...!
フルネームはンソクャジル＝ケイマ＝スッンリプ＝スパロウだ
My full name is N'sok'yajil=Keima=S'n'lip=Sparrow.
いやそれは覚えねーけど...
Uh, I'm not gonna remember that...

しかもこんな奴が宇宙警察の捜査官だとオ!!?
And also, someone like this is the Chief Investigator of the Space Police!!?
厳密に言えばＣＢＩ...
To be precise, it's the CBI...
Cosmos Bureau Investigation（宇宙捜査局）の捜査官だ
The Chief Investigator of the Cosmos Bureau of Investigation (Space Investigation Bureau)
いや...それも覚えないけどね!?
Umm...I'm not gonna remember that either!?

つか待てよ...つまりお前の体が形を変え俺の命となって消えたんだろ?
Anyway hold on a sec...so basically your body changed its form, became my life, and disappeared?
その通り命＝動く体だからな
Exactly, since life=a moving body.

パアアアア {SFX above Sparrow drawing}
PAAAAA
復活！ {text above human drawing}
Revival!
＊地球人とは違う素材の体 {Text below Sparrow drawing}
＊A body made of different materials than Earthlings

じゃあここにいるお前は何なんだよ!?
Then, what about the you that's here!?
お前は何だ!? {Handwritten text next to Ryuta}
What are you!?
だからそれは残った魂が未練によって近くにいた雀に乗り移ったってコトだろ多分
Like I said, the leftover soul was still attached to this world so it took over a nearby sparrow, probably.
魂＝「思考」や「記憶」だからな...
Soul="thoughts" and "memory," after all...


pg 21/345
つまり宇宙人の霊がスズメにとりついてるってコトかよ!!
So in short, an alien's ghost has possessed a sparrow!!

そして俺が来たからには安心しろ少年
Now that I'm here you can relax, boy.
!? {Ryuta}

なぜかキミは今回の件でスーパーマンのごとき力を手に入れてしまったようたが...
For some reason in this case, you seemed to have acquired Superman-like powers...
もう大丈夫だ
But it's all right now.

俺がこうしてキミにしている限り
As long as I stay in contact with you like this,
そのスーパーパワーは俺が抑えることができる！
I can restrain that super power!
!? {Ryuta}

マジで？
Seriously?

試しにそこの柵を曲げてみろ
As a test, try to bend that railing.
！ {Ryuta}


pg 22/346
グッ {SFX}
GU

曲がらない!!
It won't bend!!

フッ

これで一件落着だな椿龍太少年
One case closed, isn't it, Tsubaki Ryuta boy?
ああ...でも
Yeah...but,
え!?　それって...
Eh!? Doesn't that mean...
ああ最悪だがこれから俺らは毎日一緒...
Yup, it sucks really bad, but from now we'll be together every day...

相棒ってヤツだ {big text}
俺にとって最悪だがな {small text}
It's that partner thing.
It sucks really bad for me though.

こーなったらキミの力を上手く使って共に地球の平和を守っていこうじゃないか
If it's like this, why don't we make good use of your power and protect the peace of the Earth together?
仕方ないから
Since it can't be helped.
はあああぁぁぁ！！？
HAAAAaaa!!?

That wasn't good at all...!

やれやれスターの悩み気取りか {normal text}
バカだねェ {small text}
*sigh* A star's pretentious problems, eh?
What an idiot.
安心しろ皆すぐ馴れて騒がなくなるから...
Chill out, everyone'll get used to it and stop making a big deal soon enough...


pg 24/348
くっ
Kuh
これだから何も解っちゃねェ鳥は...
This is why I'm saying a bird just can't get it...
あ？
Ah?
それって俺のコト？
You talkin bout me?
ウケ狙いと思われて騒がれてるウチはまだいいんだよ！
It's not so bad while they still think I'm trying to be funny and make a big deal out of it!

問題はこの状態を毎日続けた場合だ...!!
The problem is when this situation continues every day...!!
なあさっきの鳥って俺のコト？
Hey, that bird you mentioned, is it supposed to be me?

誰も反応しなくなったにも関らず肩に鳥をのせ...
Despite the fact that no one reacts anymore, I'll keep wearing the bird on my shoulder...
先生に何度注意されても鳥をのせ...
Even after several warnings from the teacher, I'll keep wearing the bird...
この先ずっと常に鳥をのせ続けてみろ...
And if from now on I'll always continue to be wearing the bird...

奴らはそのウチ俺をこう認識するだろう
Eventually they'll start to recognize me as,
実にナチュラルに...！
and really naturally too, as...!

変人...と!!
A...WEIRDO!!


pg 25/349
ぐわああああ―――――ッ変人は嫌だぁ――ッ
Guwaaaaaaaaaa! I don't want to be a weirdoooo!
ドッ {SFX}
DOH
!!? {Man}
おい安心しろ今でも十分変人だから
Hey, don't worry, you're already plenty weird.

変人っつーのはつまりアイツだぞっ朝緒カユ！
A weirdo is basically someone like that Asao Kyu!
ハ―――　ハ――― {SFX}
HAAAAH HAAAAH
日常的に触角をつけてる {handwritten text}
Wears antennae as a routine thing.

俺が今まで奴を見ていたよーな目で見られるんだぞォ!?
I'm gonna be looked at with the kind of eyes I was lookin at her with, you know!?
どんな目だよ
What the heck kind of eyes are those?
何だアイツって目だよ！ {bigger text}
イタイなコイツってゆー {smaller text}
The "what the hell is their problem" eyes!
The "it's painful to look at" eyes.
ああ今俺がキミをみてる目か
Aah, the eyes I'm looking at you right now with.

俺だけじゃないッ皆そー見てたッその証拠に話しかける奴なんて１人もいなかった
It's not just me! Everyone saw her like that! As proof, there isn't a single person who would start talking to her.
おいそりゃイジメジャねーの？
Hey, isn't that bullying?
悪意があったワケじゃない！ナチュラルにそーなる!!
No one had any bad intentions! It just naturally ends up like that!!

俺は心底ああはなりたくないと思って生きてきたんだよ――――ッ
I've lived until now thinking from the bottom of my heart that I don't want to be like that----!
歯はキレイだな心はともかく
You've got nice teeth, can't say the same for your soul though.


pg 26/350
まあ...そんなワケで
Well, that's how it is,
俺刑事のマネゴトとか一切やる気ないから...
so I have absolutely no intention of playing cops or whatever...
フラッ {SFX}
FURA
は？それじゃスーパーパワーがもったいないと思わんのか！
Ha? Don't you think that's a waste of your superpowers?!

............ {Ryuta}
え？
Eh?
全然心に届いてない!! {normal text}
I'm not reaching his heart at all!!
そして老けすぎ {small text}
Plus, he looks too old.

むう　このガキンチョ...
Grr, this brat...
チッ
Chi *tsk, ch, cht, etc.
地球の現代っ子はこうもやる気がないモノなのか!?
Are Earth's kids these days really this lacking in motivation!?

よくわからんが変人が嫌ならこの際ヒーローになっちゃえばよくないか!?
I don't really get it, but if you don't want to be a weirdo, isn't it fine if you just became a hero instead!?
よくねェ...
S'not fine...
そうだよ！スーパーパワーをいかしてヒーローになるんだよ！
That's right! Use the superpowers and become a hero!
例えばそう...
For example...

この星の銀行強盗をやっつけるとかして！
You can defeat the bank robbers of this planet or something!
銀行強盗だ――――――ッ
It's a bank robbery!!!!!!!

So is this also your doing...?
なワケないだろう......
That's impossible......

きっとヒーローを育てようとしている俺に神が力を貸して下さったのだ
Seeing that I was trying to raise a hero, God must have lent his power.
神様が犯罪を起こしたと!?
Are you saying that God commited a crime!?

とにかくこんなチャンスはないな＊
Anyways, we'll never get another chance like this＊
キミのスーパーパワーで事件を解決しよう＊
Let's use your superpowers and solve this crime＊
はあ!?
HAA!?

断る！
I refuse!

おいっそれでもヒーローを目指す男か!? {normal text}
キミ {small text}
Hey! How can a man aiming to be a hero say that!?
You
誰がヒーローを目指す男か！
Who's the man aiming to be a hero?!
つ――か高校生の俺は逆にそんなのになりたくねーんだよ！
Besides, high schoolers like me don't want to be anything like that!
幼稚園児じゃあるまいし!!
I'm not some kindergartner!!
さっきから！ {handwritten text}
From before!

If something like actually existed it'd just be LAME!!

あと危険だろ！
And it's dangerous!

おい犯人達人質とって立てこもってるぽいぞ！
Hey, it looks like the criminals took hostages and are hiding out!

あっ人質には子供や女の子もいるんじゃねーか！
Ah, there's children and girls among the hostages too!
ザワ　ザワ {SFX}

あいつもツイてないなオイイ {normal text}

She really doesn't have any luck either!!
Of all the possible...
どーやらクラスメイトが巻き込まれていたみたいだな
It looks like one of your classmates got dragged into it.

これで益々立ち上がらざるをえない状況ってワケだ
Now with this, you really do have to rise to the occasion.
関係ないね
It's got nothing to do with me.
!? {Sparrow}


pg 30/354
何度も言うが...
I'll say it again but...
俺は目立つのが大嫌いなんだよ！
I really hate standing out!
!!! {Sparrow}

こんな所にシャシャリ出るなんてもっての他！警察に任せりゃいいだけの話...
Stepping out uninvited in a place like this is just dumb! All you gotta do is leave it to the police.

やれやれ...
Oh man...
ホントに困った生物だよ思春期の地球人てのは...
What a troubled organism the adolescent Earthling is...

人を助ける力があっても使おうとしない...
Even if they have the power to save someone, they won't try to use it...
それで本当に平気なのだろうか...
Are they really fine like that...?

椿龍太......君の言う通り...
Tsubaki Ryuta......as you say...


pg 31/355
この現実の世界ではいい歳した大人がもしヒーローを気取った場合...
In this real world, if a full-grown adult were to act like he's a hero...
変人の一種に見られたり
He'd be seen as a kind of weirdo,
少なくとも普通の目で見られなくなるとしよう
or at least he wouldn't be looked at normally anymore.
？ああ
? Yeah...

でもよ
But

変人の何が悪い？
What's wrong with being a weirdo?
!? {Ryuta}

その『変人』は
That "weirdo"


pg 32/356
何か悪いコトをしたか？
Has he done something wrong?

――――！ {Ryuta}

悪いコトは何もしてない者と
Between someone who has done nothing wrong
悪いコトはしてないのにそれを冷たい目で見る空気...
and the cold looks given even though he has done nothing wrong...

悪いのはどっちなんだろうな...
Which is worse, I wonder...
ぐっ...!!!
Guh...!!!

この問い...この感覚...覚えがあるぞ...!?
This question... This feeling... It's familiar...!?

そうだコレは...学級代表を決める時...
That's right, this is...that time we were deciding on the class representative...


pg 33/357
いいかげん決めちゃいたいんだが... {normal text}
今日こそ {little text}
I kind of want to get this decided already...
Hopefully today
誰か学級代表やりたい者いないか―――?
Isn't there anyone who wants to be Class Representative?

し―――ん {SFX}
shiiiin

いつの頃からだろう「学級代表に立候補するなんて目立つし恥ずかしいコト＝ありえないヤツ」
From when was it that this "volunteering for class representative stands out and is embarrassing=only freaks do it"
そういう空気が教室に充満するようになったのは...だが実際よく考えてみれば...
kind of atmosphere spread throughout the classroom...? But really, if I actually think about it...
単に色々とエライコトなんじゃないのか？少なくとも悪いコトでは絶対ないハズなのに...
In a lot of ways isn't it basically a good thing? At the very least, it's definitely not supposed to be a bad thing...

「なぜ......!?」そう思ったコトがあった...
"Why......!?" I've wondered that before...

変人だの何だのは単に他人(ひと)の目他人(ひと)がつけた名だ...
Being a weirdo or whatever is just in someone else's eyes, in a name that someone else gave...

｢本質｣には関係はない
It's got nothing to do with "true nature."
ドクン {SFX}
DOKUN
｢本質...｣
"True nature..."

ちょっと待て
Hold on a second.

Obviously!


pg 46/370
どーやらスーパーパワーを使いまくると生えるらしーな
I hear it grows if you use the superpowers a lot.
サイコーじゃん {handwritten text}
It's awesome.
罰ゲームかよ!!
Like a penalty?!!

つーかこの状態でさっき俺カッコつけてたのか...
Besides that, I was acting all cool before looking like this, huh...?
ヒーローというより変態っぽい {small text}
It's more like I'm a creepo than a hero.
はあ―― {SFX?}
Haaaa *sigh

ツバキ...
Tsubaki...

その花キレイだな...本当に
That flower is pretty...really.
やっぱ変だよこの人も...
This person's weird too, after all...

...助けてくれて
...Thank you
ありがとうな...
for saving me...

人を助けて感謝されるのも悪くない {Narration Box}
Being thanked for helping people ain't that bad,


pg 47/371
この時椿龍太は素直にそう思った {Narration Box}
At that time, Tsubaki Ryuta honestly thought that.
お...お前こそまさかあんな行動に出るとはな...
Y...you too, I never thought you'd take that sort of action...
正直かなり見直したぜ...オレこの花やるよ
To be honest, my opinion of you has really improved...I'll give you this flower.

こうして―― {Narration Box}
And like this....
あ
Ah!

私達結婚してしまったぞ
We just got married.
!!?はい？
!!?What?

銀星人の女の子に花をあげるのは結婚をする時だけなんだ...
The only time you give a flower to a Silver Planet girl is when you get married...
しかも受け取った時点で結婚成立なのに今受けとってしまった...
And even though by accepting it, the marriage becomes official, I just accepted...
うっかり {slanted text}
