Soul Eater 44

phoenix_z on the LJ Gangan community was kind enough to scan in the raw for this chapter! I'll be posting the links in the Gangan Scan Dump thread.

From here on out, I will be using "Kirikou" rather than "Kiriku" (pronounced the same). See Kirikou and the Sorceress for the connection.

死武専生キムの正体はー．．．。
Text: The true colors of the Shibusen Student, Kim, is...

魔女の私が死武専に潜入していることがもし魔女会にバレたら破門されてしまう．．．
Kim: If it's found out that by the Witch Assembly that I, a witch, have infiltrated Shibusen, I'll be excommunicated...

そうね．．． メデューサが死武専に潜入して鬼神を復活させた一件以来魔女会は死武専に潜入するコトをかたく禁じているし．．．
Jackie: That's right... Since the matter of Medusa infiltrating Shibusen and reviving the Kishin, the Witch Assembly has firmly prohibited ...

死武専側に私の正体がバレたとしても遅かれ早かれ魔女会の耳に入るだろうし．．．
Kim: And if the Shibusen side finds out my true nature, sooner or later the Witch Assembly will hear about it...

そうしたら私ー．．．完全に孤立しちゃう．．．
Kim: If that happens, I'll be... completely helpless...

．．．
Jackie: ...

Pg. 2

そうならないように今まで上手くやってきたんでしょ?
私はキムを絶対一人にはしない
Jackie: We've come this far well enough to not let that happen, right? I will never let you be alone.

ジャッキー．．．
Kim: Jackie...

ゴメンねジャッキー．．．
Kim: I'm sorry, Jackie...

私が魔女会を抜けたいばっかりにあんたまでまきこんじゃって．．．
Kim: I just wanted to escape from the Witch Assembly, and you've gotten all wrapped up...

私たちは死武専生よ! 友達を見捨てるコトなんて出来ない でしょ!?キム
Jackie: We're Shibusen students! We can't do anything like abandon our friends. Right!? Kim

うん!!
Kim: Yeah!!

Pg. 3

死武専に戻りましょ
Kim: Let's go back to Shibusen

デス・シティー
Text: Death City

デスサイズから何か情報は引き出せたのか?
?: Were you able to pull out any information from Death Scythe?

魔女リサ・アリサよ
Mosquito: Witch Risa, Arisa

ちょろいもんですよ!すごいネタをペラペラしゃべってましたよ マジビビんないでください
Risa: It was a piece of cake! He freely chats about all kinds of information. Please don't get too frightened

何だ?
Mosquito: What?

なんかァ．．．なんかァ．．．アレらしいっスよ ウチらが聞いた話だとォ 死武専の受験は死神じゃなくてデスサイズが全部握ってるらしいっスよ マジヤバくないですか?
Arisa: Well... well... it was like that. There's a story we heard. Shibusen's exams aren't done by Shinigami. Seems like it's all done by Death Scythe. Pretty risky, isn't it?

．．．．．．それで
Mosquito: ...... and then

あとあとォー．．． ウチらが聞いた話によるとォ．．． デスサイズの指パッチンー．．．あッ! あの指でパッチンする奴なんスけどデスサイズがそれするとォ．．． 地球の経済が傾くぐらいの勢いがあるらしいっスよ ハンパなくないですか?
Arisa: Then, then... According to a story we heard... Death Scythe's finger snaps... Ah! When that guy snaps his fingers, when Death Scythe does that... Earth's economy appears to decline. Will it recover?

Pg. 5

お前らもそれを信じたのか?
Mosquito: Do you believe that?

エ!?何スか?
Arisa: Huh!? What was that?

お前らはそれを本当に信じたのか?
Mosquito: Do you really believe in that?

そーそー リサなんかそんトキ超ビビっちゃってェ 氷2・3個落としましたもん ねェー♪
Arisa: Yes yes, Risa got really scared that time. She dropped two or three glasses of ice, right

その氷デスサイズの股間に落としちゃってさァなんかのプレーみたいになったんだよねー デスサイズもなんかやりなれてる感があったりして2重でビビったよねー
Risa: The ice fell between Death Scythe's legs like it was some kind of move. And when Death Scythe acted like he was gonna be able to get something, I got twice as scared

キャハハハハハハハハハハ♪
Risa & Arisa: Kyahahahahahahahahahaha

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．． ．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．． 怒る気も起きんな．．．
Mosquito: ........................ ........................ The anger is rising...

リサちゃ～んアリサちゃ～ん お客さん 用意して
Man: Risa-cha~n, Arisa-cha~n, prepare for a guest

!!
Risa: !!

!!
Arisa: !!

なんか指名されたみたいなんで 次もこれ以上のネタ仕入れてくるんで リサとアリサに期待してください
Risa: Seems like we were called for by name. We'll procure more information for next time. Please anticipate Risa and Arisa

．．．
Mosquito: ...

おつかれっス
Arisa: Thanks

Pg. 6

ぬぅ．．．
Sid: Nuh...

お待たせッ 今日はお友達も連れてきてくれたんだ♪
Risa: Thanks for waiting, you brought a friend along today

二人は何つながりなの?
Risa: What's your relationship?

．．．．．．．．．?
Risa: .........?

どうしたの？
Risa: What's wrong?

君たち二人に「魔女」の疑いがかけられている
Death Scythe: You two are suspected of being "witches"

死武専まで来てもらうぞ
Death Scythe: Come with us to Shibusen

エ!?
Risa: Huh!?

ゲッちょっとリサ．．．
Arisa: Geh, wait, Risa...

Pg. 7

つまらんマネはするな
Sid: Don't try anything funny

店の外にも腕のいい職人が張っている
Sid: There are other meisters good with their arms stationed outside the shop

逃げられないぞ
Sid: You can't run

Pg. 8

魔法を使われたら困るんだ 口をふさがせてもらうぞ
Man: It will be a pain if you use magic. We're gonna gag you

んーんー
Risa & Arisa: mmph mmph

どう思う?
Sid: What do you think?

あの二人か?黒だろうな．．．ショックだよ ここよく通ってる店だぜ．．．
Death Scythe: Those two? They're bad guys... it's a shock. This was a shop I go to a lot...

じゃああのたれこみのリストは今のところ正確ってコトか．．．
Sid: Then, if this thing just now from that snitch list is true...

それだとキムも．．．
Sid: then, Kim is also...

今捕まえたリサとアリサもそんな悪い奴とは思えない．．．
Death Scythe: The Risa and Arisa we seized just now didn't seem to be bad guys...

とりあえずキムを見つけて話を聞いてみるしかないだろ? 魔女にもいろいろあるだろうし
Death Scythe: For the time being, we can only find Kim and try to hear her story, right? There may be more to it than being a witch

そうだな
Sid: That's right

おばちゃんありがとー♪
Girl: Thanks, ma'am

はいはいッお疲れ様!!
Woman: Yes, yes, good work!!

Pg. 10

じゃあよろしく頼んだ　キムたちが帰ってきたら伝えといてくれ　カゼひくなよ
Naigs: Then, I'm counting on you. When Kim and Jackie get back, let me know. Don't catch a cold

うす
Kirikou: Gotcha

はい
Ox: Okay

ナイグスさん　こちらにもまだキムは帰ってないようです
Man: Naigs-san, it doesn't seem like Kim has returned

彼女が魔女と決まったワケじゃない　落ち着いた対処をしろよ
Naigs: It hasn't been determined that Kim is a witch. Treat this with caution
[/indent]

Pg. 9

死武専!!正門!!!
Text: Shibusen!! Main entrance!!!

みんなも帰って来てるな
Soul: Everybody's come back

うちのクラスの人いる?
Maka: Is there anyone from our class?

オウソウル・マカ!今帰って来たトコロか? キッドは?
?: Hey, Soul, Maka! Did you just get back? Where's Kid?

キリクオックス君
Soul: Kirikou, Ox-kun

!?
Maka: !?

なぜ裸?
Maka: Why are your shirts off?

Pg. 10

まぁな! 行かれる巨人と拳で語り合ってきてよォ
Kirikou: Well, you know! We came from talking to that giant with our fists

来い!!ジャイアント!!お前の怒り!!俺たちにぶつけて来い!!
Ox: Com'ere!! Giant!! Your rage!! Come and we'll run you over!!

グルァアアア!!!
Kirikou: Graaaaaw!!!

最後にはみんな 全裸でキャンプファイアーですよ
Ox: In the end, everybody was completely nude around the camp fire

Pg. 11

なんだよ．．．そっち超盛り上がったみたいじゃん．．． 俺もそっち行けばよかった．．．
Soul: What... that seems so exicting... I should have gone too...

そんなコトないでしょ! 私たちだって盛り上がったでしょ!! 新技だって覚えたし．．． だいたいなんで男の子ってすぐ裸になりたがんの!?
Maka: That's not true! Ours was exciting! We got a new move... And why do all boys want to immediately get naked!?

新技ですか?
Ox: A new move?

うん ていうか魔女狩りがパワーアップした感じかな．．．
Maka: Yeah. Or rather, it feels like Witch Hunter got a power-up...

鎌の形状が変わって攻撃が直線的になった分相手に読まれやすくなったけど 一撃の重みはそうとうパワーアップしたんだよ
Maka: The shape of the scythe changes, the attack turns into a straight line. It can be read easily by the opponent, but the weight of the one hit was an extreme power-up.

ほほォ～それは興味深いですね
Ox: Hoho~ that's very interesting

それがねー
Maka: And then

ちょっと待ってください今メモを
Ox: Please wait a moment, I'm taking notes

あーゆうのめんどくせェよな
Soul: That's so troublesome

だよな 頭脳戦とかミジンコにでもやらせとけよ みみっちい
Kirikou: Isn't it. It's like a battle of brains of two water fleas coming together. They're so simple-minded

あーソウル そういやーキャンプファイアーのトキ横に置いてあったんだけど おもしろい打楽器みつけたさァ!
Kirikou: Oh, Soul, when we had the campfire there was something put beside it. I found an interesting percussion instrument!

オーどんなん?触ってみた?
Soul: Oh, what kind? Did you try to feel it?

一緒じゃんか．．．
Maka: They're together...

けっこうあれだな トーキングドラム系のやつ
Ox: It was great. It was a kind of talking drum

ならお前ならいけんじゃね?
Soul: Then you should be good with it, huh?

魔人狩り．．．
Maka: Demon Hunter...

Pg. 12

あの技ならメデューサに一撃かませるかもしれない
Maka: With that move, we may be able to force Medusa in one hit

待ってろメデューサ
Maka: Just wait, Medusa

こ．．．．．．
Ox: Thi......

これは．．．
Ox: This is...

ん? どうしたオックス君
Soul: Hm? What is it, Ox-kun

Pg. 13

おかえりなさいキムおケガはありませんか?
Ox: Welcome back Kim, do you have any injuries?

裸
Kim: Your shirt's off

何?わざわざお出迎え? そんなコトしてもお金にならないよ
Kim: What? Is there some special get-together? If you do something like that, you won't be able to earn money

エエ!!9割方あなたに会いたくて待ってましたが 伝言を頼まれてました
Ox: Yes!! 90% of me waiting was because I wanted to see you, but I was asked to give you a message

Pg. 14

．．．．．．
Jackie: ......

帰って来たぞ
Man: They're back

ナイグスさんに．．．
Man: I'll tell Naigs-san...

生徒じゃない人が混じってる
Jackie: There are people who aren't students blending in

死人先生やナイグス先生があなたがたを捜してまして死神様の元に来てくれと．．． 何かあったんですか?
Ox: That Sid-sensei and Naigs-sensei were looking for you and to come to Shinigami-sama's base... did something happen?

キム
Jackie: Kim

Kim: !?

何かヤな感じがする．．．もしかしたら．．．
Jackie: I have a bad feeling... Could they have possibly...

Maka: ?

Harvar: ?

キム・ジャクリーン ちょっと私と一緒に来てくれ
Naigs: Kim, Jacqueline, please come with me

Naigs: Don't be hasty, Kim, Jacqueline

道を踏み外すな
Naigs: Don't lose your way

Pg. 19

そんな
Kim: Can't be...

バレた．．．
Kim: I was found out...

魔女の私じゃもう死武専に戻れないー．．．

そんな森の中に車?
Jackie: No way, a car in the middle of the forest?

すごい高級車!!
Kim: It's a great luxury car!!

Pg. 21

説明はご無用
?: Explanations are useless

君たちのコトはクモを通して見させていただいた
?: The spiders passed along and showed me what happened to you

まぁ乗りたまえ
Mosquito: Well, get in

行くあてがないのだろ
Mosquito: You have nowhere to go, right

おじいさんアラクノフォビアの人でしょ!? 死武専の敵 乗るわけないでしょ
Jackie: Old man, you're a person with Arachnophobia, right!? An enemy of Shibusen. We can't get in

忘れたわけではあるまい
Mosquito: You must not forget

貴方がたはその死武専に追われているのだぞ
Mosquito: You're being chased after by that Shibusen

キム嬢ー．．．貴方のような可愛い魔女を追いやって．．．何が正義だ
Mosquito: Miss Kim... Chasing after a cute witch like you... Where's the justice in that

しょせん種族の壁は破れんのだよ
Mosquito: After all, you tore down your kinds' wall

アラクネ様も魔女．．．貴方を良く理解しておられる
Mosquito: Arachne-sama is also a witch... She understands you well

[indent]
Pg. 22

死武専．．．
Text: Shibusen...

アラクノフォビアによりー．．．東アジアとアフリカ支部は．．．共に大打撃
?: Because of Arachnophobia... The East Asia and Africa branches have... suffered great losses

今回もまた"BREW"をウマクダシに使われました．．．
Azusa: They made good use of "BREW" again...

これで5回目の攻撃です．．．
Azusa: This makes the 5th attack...

．．．
Shinigami-sama: ...

やっぱり"BREW"をとられたのがまずったねェ～．．．
Shinigami-sama: Looks like them picking up "BREW" was bad afterall...

"BREW"をだされたらこちらも動かざるをえない．．．そのスキに拠点を攻撃されちゃうし
Azusa: Once they bring out "BREW" we have no choice but to move... In that opportunity, they attack our base

"BREW"つかうよ
Arachnophobia: Use "BREW"

やめろ!!
Shibusen: Stop!!

しめしめ
Arachnophobia: Close in

アタック
Arachnophobia: Attack

拠点
Text: Base

Pg. 25

アラクノフォビアの規模は今も拡大中ー．．．時間をかけていては戦況は悪くなるばかりです．．．
Azusa: Arachnophobia's scope is expanding even now... By taking our time, the war situation is just worsening...

いつ"BREW"をダシにこちらに無理な条件をつきつけてくるか．．．
Azusa: When "BREW" is out, we are thrust into impossible conditions...

こちらから手をうつにもアラクノフォビアの拠点は未だにつかめてないし．．．
Shinigami-sama: Even if we attack from here, we still haven't seized Arachnophobia's base...

うまくクモがくれしちゃってッまァ～．．． リアクションばかりじゃ後手後手にまわっちゃうんだよねェ～．．． どうしたものか．．．
Shinigami-sama: With the spiders coming in so cleverly, well... we can only react, turning around in circles always too late... what have things come to...

うっす死人です
Sid: Yo, this is Sid

!!
Azusa: !!

Pg. 26

申し訳ありません 緊急なもので
Sid: I apologize, it's an emergency

どったの?
Shinigami-sama: What is it?

「3名の魔女」の名が書かれたリストを送ったという者が現れました
Sid: The person who sent the list with the "3 Names of Witches" has appeared

エ!?どこに?死武専（ここ）に!?
Shinigami-sama: Eh!? Where? Here!?

はい．．． とりあえず牢獄に入れました
Sid: Yes... For now, they've been placed in prison

牢獄?
Shinigami-sama: Prison?

あのリストは悲しいかな．．．正確だった．．．その者をなぜに牢獄?
Shinigami-sama: That list was sad... It was true... Why is that person in prison?

．．．．．．．．． ．．．．．．．．．
Sid: ......... .........

エエ．．．それが．．．

何しに戻ってきやがった．．．
Death Scythe: What did you come back here for...

そのヅラ忘れるわけねェだろ
Death Scythe: I couldn't forget that look

Pg. 28

小さくなったてわかるぞ ヘビ虫が
Death Scythe: I understand you've gotten small, you snake bug

お久しぶりねデスサイズさん
Medusa: It's been a long time, Death Scythe-san

お前自分が何やったかわかってんのか 鬼神を復活させ今や世界は狂気感染で大混乱だぞ
Death Scythe: Do you understand what you've done? By reviving the Kishin, the world is in chaos by the infection of madness

退屈．．．
Medusa: How boring...

あなたと話をしてもおもしろくないのよ シュタイン博士はいないの?
Medusa: Talking with you isn't interesting. Is Dr Stein not around?

Pg. 29

あーそうだった．．．
Medusa: Oh, that's right...

彼は出て行ったのよね
Medusa: He went away

何でそれを お前どこまで知ってんだ!?
Death Scythe: How did you know that. How much do you know!?

私はあなたたちが知らない情報を知ってるわ
Medusa: I know information that you don't know

のどから手が出るほど欲しい情報ー．．．
Medusa: Information you want so badly you can taste it...

私は取り引きをしに来たのよ
Medusa: I came here to make a deal

ふざけるな．．．
Death Scythe: Don't joke around...

どのつらさげて言ってんだ
Death Scythe: How dare you say that

私が送った「3名の魔女」のリストー．．．正確だったでしょ?
Medusa: The "3 Names of Witches" list that I sent... It was correct, right?

知っているのよ私はー．．．
Medusa: As the one who knows...

Pg. 30

教えましょうか?
Medusa: Should I tell you?

アラクノフォビアの本拠地「ババ・ヤガーの城」の所在地
Medusa: Arachnophobia's base, the location of "Baba Yaga's Castle"

!!
Death Scythe: !!

アラクネにいいようにころがされてかわいそうな死武専．．． 私が協力して差しあげましょうか?
Medusa: The poor Shibusen trying to roll up Arachne... Should I cooperate?

バカかお前!協力だって?
Death Scythe: Are you a fool? Cooperate?

生きてここから出られると思ってんのか?
Death Scythe: Do you think we'll let you out of here alive?

死武専が私を信用できない気持ちは十分承知
Medusa: I fully accept that Shibusen has no faith in me

だから用意して来たの本物の"BREW"を
Medusa: That is why I have prepared the true "BREW"

本物の"BREW"だって?
Death Scythe: The true "BREW"?

どういうことだ?"BREW"はアラクノフォビアに．．．．．．
Death Scythe: What's the meaning of this? "BREW" is in Arachnophobia's...

私は取り引きをしに来たの
Medusa: I came here to make a deal

突然のメデューサの来訪．．．!! その真意と取り引きの内容とは一体!?
