Deigo: As if that could happen!
--
Deigo: School is nothing but trouble!
In panel: He’s wearing coloured contacts in his right eye.
Deigo: Especially human relationships! // Even if you want to be mean, group work is compulsory in class and at school events! // You have to act like someone who won’t fail and is easy to get along with!
In panel: Business smile ♥
--
Deigo: So that you’ve got something to talk about with everyone else, you have to watch TV programmes you don’t even care about and send each other useless text messages…
Athena: Hmm~ // How about not going?
Deigo: In present-day Japan, people my age have to attend school!
Athena: What a strange rule…
4.
Athena: This is our classroom! // Ah~ They really are all wearing the same clothes!

Deigo: I've got to make sure they don't notice I'm mean...

Athena: If he’s alone, there’s a danger of him becoming like Narcissus.

--
Sorako: I just thought it’d feel good…
Deigo: You thought it’d feel good…? // People will think you’re strange for doing that! [aside: What’s up with your uniform?!]
13.
Sorako: I think it’s the people who are obediently attending the entrance ceremony that are strange.
--
Sorako: I don’t understand the meaning of them all being dressed the same and singing the same song. // I had a bad feeling about it, so I left halfway through.
Text: The way she thinks is just too crazy!
Deigo: What kind of life has she been living up until now?
--
Sorako: You’re here at just the right time. // You’ll catch me, won’t you?
Deigo: Huh?

Sorako: There are some hairy caterpillars over there. / I want to get down, but I can’t.

Box 1: When I noticed…
Box 2: My hands had stopped shaking.
15.
Athena: I was sure that it was going to go well! // Everyone held back because of what you said!
Deigo: I see…did it look like that to you?
--
Athena: It’s strange that they’d do that to me though… / If this was Ancient Greece, they’d be bringing me offerings!
Deigo: This is present-day Japan.

Athena: They must have held back because I didn’t look like a goddess! / I’m going to wear this tomorrow!

*please do not use without my express permission*
Shinwa ponchi 3 Cover :
A roaring comedy of youth starring Greek gods!! はるうらら Beautiful spring New Mysterious Turn of fate *早くも巻で大反響＊ Rapidly in this chapter a big reaction (???) 燃えるゴミ＝燃やすゴミ Burnable trash = trash to be burned Pg１ Text: Searching for a place to live, we all ended up at Sorako’s house. But possessed by Lyssa, the god of madness I was about to start a big disturbance (note: unsure) This is my house Pg 2 あらすじ: (note: summary on the left to be translated later) Amazing… A house with a veranda and a garden located in a prime location inside the city… !?
That girl… is she the daughter of a superstar !? Come in I’m coming (lit: I’m sorry to disturb you)
There has been no change worthy of mention since that happened but
Just like if nothing had happened, we're now going to be living at Henbe Sorako’s place.
Pg 3 character description on the right: Aritake Deigo. A young man who tries to reach the pinnacle of Hikutsu. He’s been possessed by Lyssa the god of madness. Athena. She’s a god chasing after Lyssa. She’s trying hard to get Lyssa out of Deigo. Henbe Sorako: A young girl who met Deigo at a realtor’s. She’s a mysterious girl who doesn’t speak much.
… feels like some kind of antique Japanese house It’s my father’s hobby
Speaking about that, your parents are… They’re not here at the moment
I’m living by myself What!?
She’s an elementary school student living by herself!? What on earth is happening in this house !? There are two free rooms here on the second floor, as well as two more rooms on the first floor.
You can just use the one you like Pg 4 Hmm… by the way, how much is the rent?
… you hadn’t thought about that, I guess? Of course, of course
Let me handle any money problems!!
How is it Deigo!? Did that make you happy !? With money, a man should be happy!? Where do you get that kind of money !?
I borrowed it from a friend who’s very well versed in finance! Hmm… you’re sure it’s not magic or something !? Pg 5
Like I’d use that kind of suspicious money!! I can pay the rent on my own—
Text: only a single bill
Listen to me Athena… A man’s worth is not to be judged by the size of his wallet Oh--!! That’s such a cool thing to say!! …..
… So instead of paying a rent Would you do the cleaning instead?
Then, I’ll clean your room Deigo!! Hey hey, are you happy now !? Yeah, yeah. I thank you for pitying a poor man.
That’s weird… I wanted to be alone and live by myself----
Pg 6 … What is she doing… Aside: Exercises?
I was spotted while I was rejoicing… Aside: how embarrassing… …You were rejoicing…
Pg 7
But I don’t get what you were doing And furthermore why did you go asking for a place at the real estate agency Eh.. that place
Did she talk it through with her parents? Aside: Did they teach that at the real estate place? (note: unsure) Why did you offer us to take up a room here?
… cause I was lonely… all by myself
I’ m really happy That you guys came here
… what That's how she feels even though she lives in such a huge place
But… of course an elementary school student must feel uneasy living alone like this Aside: Ah Pg 8
No way!! I can’t allow my self to feel compassion!! If I let down my guard so easily--- By the the way, you’re my junior (kouhai) aren’t you?
Wha? Aside: at the real estate place You were saying you were going to attend Tenjin high school
You’re a high schooler!? I’ll be a second year student starting from this year
That’s great!! School looks fun! Uwaa!
What’s up with the cleaning!? Finished already—(heart) Ever since I set foot on mount Olympus I’ve been yearning for school life Pg 9
There’s just one thing that bothers me
The goddess Athena is known as the goddess of wisdom in greek legends, no? Aside: eh, that’s true Aside: You just said “on mount Olympus” That, that, that’s it! You finally believed me!?
Despite that you just don’t look very smart
All right! You said it !! What is it really such a good thing to say!? (note: could be perhaps improved)
Let me tell you the story… Of how I came to be called the goddess of wisdom
Pg 10
I was born out of the head of Zeus, the god who rules over Mt. Olympus Text: Hephaestus
“The god born from the head of the omniscient, omnipotent Zeus.” From the moment of my birth I became the subject of everyone’s attention. Aside: What kind of things (activities) will she accomplish!!
Box: Trojan War Aside: このやろギリシャ軍に味ちしやがって この？？その乳刺しちやる！！ Box : Ares, god of war. Supporting Troy Box: Goddess Athena. Supporting the Greeks Paper: Just because I came out of the head of Zeus Text in white: Pure strength (lit: strength technique) Aside: Eh—I’ll shut you up--- Aside: Kya—Ares--!!
Paper: And he had no enemies, you know Box: Ares’ lover. Goddess Aphrodite
Aside: You’re siding with Troy too aren’t you--- Text in white: Whatever, using pure strength Paper: they just thought I would be smart!
Aside: hey- so she’s just all strength no brains— Aside: So Zeus’ head too is like that?
The reason why you’re strong is because your tactics are wonderful!! Eh… I’ve never thought about it in that way… No… it’s obvious!!
Pg 11
From now on you will be known as the goddess who fights using her wits!! Aside: ooh Aside: so that’s what it was… Just to keep face, Zeus went ahead and said that.
A lot of stories were written just because someone made a makeshift excuse like that (note: could be improved) Sfx: ha ha ha 辻褄 That’s why all of the the stories don’t match up… Aside: 日取初の方に生まれたエロスが 後から生まれたアフロヂテの子共とか。。。 Like the story that you were the child of Eros, born on the first day, and Aphrodite… (note : unsure) Henbe Sorako, wow she sure knows alot
But, you know, it’s true that I’m the god of battle though!! I get excited the moment I see a strong person
So, that’s why I want you to let me fight Lyssa soon! Eeh.. Pg 12 Don’t tell me you’re chasing after Lyssa just to fight him!? Yep!!
But I’ve got no place to live in the human world. And so I was in a hurry to bring back Lyssa. But I guess that if I can live here, then there’s no rush-! Plus, it looks like it’ll be a fun battle!
You’re kidding me… Eh?
Just leave me alone already!! If you don’t get out, I won’t be able to nurture my Hikutsu-shin!! What??
Is there like, a relationship between your hikutsu-shin and being alone? There is!!
If I get in a deep relationship with people…
Pg 13
I’ll end up opening up my heart!!
And what’s wrong with that exactly--- What's wrong with that!! (note: unsure)
If you let down your guard with friends and family… You’ll just end up being betrayed sooner or later!!
Here! Aaah
Pg 14
If you think about stuff like that you’ll multiply Lyssa’s madness again!
You don’t need to worry about weird stuff like that! In order to chase out Lyssa…
I’ll make you happy from the bottom of my heart!
Aside: note unsure) …Athena… ..Hmm? Pg 15 You… Why is my wallet burning--- !! Aside: who’s the goddess of wisdom----
AAh! While cleaning you room, I just threw away some stuff that didn’t look useful! You said life wasn’t about money, didn’t you! I’m asking you. Just get out of my life-!!! To be continued (on the first of May)

*please do not use without my express permission*
Cover: Cuteness and Mystery the difference is one god thin (note: this is a pun between paper (kami) and god (kami). It means: there’s only a paper (god)-thin difference between mystery and cuteness.) Ponchi:2 The time of your life when you want to say big things (note: yes not a very good translation) Pg 1 Text: Let’s believe in what gods are saying! Why won’t you believe me? If you don’t chase out Lyssa, then your soul will be consumed by madness!! I’ll listen to your story only after you remove those costumes Hey- Your own life is on the line here!? Whatever, I don’t care Pg 2 No matter how much fun you have, everyone ends up dying A bit sooner, a bit later, what’s the big difference?
You should let me die Aren’t you just thinking of catching Lyssa in the quickest possible way?
Wha.. What a way of talking to me… Aside: nudge nudge
Give me back my sculpture quickly But it’s inside that guy!! Aside: Listen to what we’re saying!! Pg 3 Where are you going? I’m going back home
The real estate agency must be closed at this time
*train sound* (katchak katchak?) We will be arriving at the terminus shortly. Please take care not to forget any of your belon…
Wait a second
Just how long will you keep following me around!? We can’t go back to Mt. Olympus without Lyssa Give me back my sculpture
Pg 4 You don’t know the true power of Lyssa. That’s why you’re taking this so leisurely!! Yes that’s it. I’m the one who’s wrong. My life has no value. Please go away now. How can you loathe yourself so much!? (hikutsu)
All right, enough's enough!! I can’t bring back guys like you home--- That sculpture…
My father gave it to me.
I’m not going back Till you give it to me
Pg 5 Ooh !! Who have we got here!! (lit: Hey~ oh oh!!)
Deigo brought back two girlfriends… Is it going to start snowing tomorrow or something!? *slap sound* あんたも遇に置けないじゃない！ Don’t just stand around like a fool! (note: unsure) I’m sorry for the lack of space Pg 6 What nice blue hair~!! Did you dye it yourself!? You look weird too but you’re beautiful!! ….
Deigo, help me bring the rice Aside: Dad is late so we’ll eat without him Yeah, yeah
Pg 7
… Hey Deigo
Bringing friends without notice and at this time… If you do such nonsensical things, we’ll just have to punish you (lit: if you do such things that lack common sense, we’ll start wanting to punish you)
How should I say it !? Those costumed girls!! // bringing those things into our home~ *slap slap* Hey~ is that eyepatch cosplay too!? Are you trying to look cool !?
… are you~ listening to me ? ….
Can I help you with anything? Ha~ Thanks!! You’re such a thoughtful girl!
We’ll leave the rest up to you Deigo!
Pg 8 *spread spread*
Box: Bug killing agent
What are you----- His eye is…
Pg 9 Why is you hair dyed liked that? (note: wtf is happening here?) … It’s to… stay in people’s… stay in my father’s memory (note: the phrase is split between the 3 bubbles.) Third column: …My name is …Henbe… Sorako
Pg 10 I’ll remember you So hurry up and disappear ….
Deigo, so you ended up not finding a room? That’s it
Hey you!
Don’t you have something to tell Deigo!?
u. uuh… yeah
Hey Deigo
Couldn’t you reconsider your decision to leave home? (Note: “can’t you think it over” might sound more natural) Pg 11 We fight all the time but // You’re cute too, you know … You know in fact… We want you to stay home
Aside: Aah~ brother-sister love is so great (heart) You know, we’ll feel lonely if you’re gone
Pg 12 AA ARG Deigo!?
Pg 13
What happened to you all of a sudden!? … I I hate my sisters and
I wanted them to eat the rice I poisoned with insect repellent… !!
Because of his negative emotions, the madness induced by Lyssa inside Diego has been multiplied!!
But maybe now he's been moved by what his sisters have said... And he's returned to his senses!?
Pg 14 Pg15 あの程度のデレで感動できりゃこんな卑屈になっとらん If they think they can move my heart with that much. This “Hikutsu” doesn’t agree (note: guesswork here) Pg 16 … pff
They’ll be lonely if I’m gone… ? Yeah, that’s because the world's best plaything will have been taken away from them あいつらはああやってたっま~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~に飴を与え These guys, they do stuff like this. Some~~~~~~~~ times they throw a candy down at me. 鞭との反動効果で俺の心を上げ下げして 嫌からしくもてあそぶのが大好きなんだ！ They love playing around with my feelings, stinging me and then waiting to see my reaction. I'm willing to commit a crime in order to take revenge against such human trash You can’t shake a life around as if it were a stick (note: even more guesswork) Pg 17
I’ve regained consciousness due to this “true sense of self-denial” (true hikutsu-shin) The “god of madness”, you say? I’ll blow him away with my self-confidence!! (lit:with a breath from the nose. Note:Again, unsure of translation)
My sense of self-denial (hikutsu-shin) is more precious than a god!! Pg 18 So… So cool…! (note: What’s up with this gratuitous fan service anyway?) Pg 19 You moved me Deigo!!
I love such forward looking strength!! (note: needs improvement) Is it really forward looking? Let’s fight Lyssa together through our self-denial (Hikutsu-shin)!!
I said too much
Pg 20 Sidetext: A legend of youth unique in the world is starting now!! (note: needs improvement)
Why do I start saying those huge things when the stress starts piling up --- !!
Hey~~ Let’s find a place to live as well. We’ll kill two birds with one stone!
No way. You… You intend to live with me…? Yes!!
Stop fooling around!! That’s impossible Once I find a new home, anyway---- … ah well If you don’t mind a boarding room why don’t you come to my house? Pg 21
