トランステン　レア度：Ａ
圧力を衝撃波に、衝撃を硬度に

超絶な強さを誇る　熱処理のみ加工可
transten rarity: A
because it changes pressure into shockwaves and impacts into toughness it's extremely strong against outside forces. heat treatment is the only way to process it.

It'll destroy my hype. Only people who actually have their hands in the making of its scanlation have the right to rush me with translations. Leechers don't.

Chapter 11 "Roar of the Rock Dragon"
Pg. 1
** Mt.Volcano erupts!! The extreme second part of the Minea exam!! **

Pg. 2
** The magma rages, following closely behind the three!! But, what!? **

Shino - Hey, can we move a little faster?
The magma's right on our tail!

Gatou - But, you sure this is alright...?
Luca - I guess.
Gatou - You guess!!?

Luca - It's up to this guy, since he's the lead.
Right!
Rock Dragon - GWOON.
Gatou - Wha...

Shino - ...Well, if this really is the path connected to the Rock Dragon's nest,
then the magma shouldn't reach us there...so it'll be safe, I guess.

Pg. 3
Gatou - We might be safe, but there's no hope for the exam.
Just how long do you think it'll take us to get back up to the surface...?

Shino - Then we'll just do something to find some treasure!
Gatou - ...Won't the Associates disqualify us for that, though...?

Rock Dragon - GWOON.

Gatou - WAH!

Owww.
Shino - Hey, are you two alright...!?

Wha!?

Pg. 4
Owww.
The ground just collapsed all of a sudden…
Hm?

Luca - MOGAAH!!
Shino - Ah...I'm sorry. [Hm...wait!]
Gatou - Hey, Luca! You bastard!!

Is this...a wide cave!?
Gatou – But, it's a dead end, here!? What should we do!

Pg. 5
Luca - ...No.

Up there!

Shino - I can see the sky through the smoke!
Gatou - We can use Luca's Fragorium to shoot ourselves up there...

Rock Dragon - GWOON.
GWOON.

Gatou - What? This guy just started shouting all of a sudden.
Rock Dragon - GWOON.
Gatou - Hm?

Rock Dragon - GWOON.

Shino - Eh?
This can't be...

Pg. 6
Rock Dragon - GWOON.
GWOON.
GWOON.

Pg. 7
Gatou - It...It-It...Its parent!!?
Shino - No way. Isn't this the same as the Neblaos...!!?

Rock Dragon - GWOOOOOO
OOOOOOO

Shino - ...It's not even close!
It's just way bigger! And there's nowhere to run, either...

Gatou - Ngh...

Pg. 8
Gatou - Even if you say that, we're dead if we don't run!!
Luca - Ah...

Gatou! Don't move...
Rock Dragon - *stare*

Pg. 9
Gatou - WAAAAAH.

Luca - Gatou!!

Grab on!
Gatou - Lu...Luca!

Luca - Phew, sorry...

Pg. 10
Gatou - WAAAAAH, WE'RE DEAD MEAT~~~~

Rock Dragon - GWOON.

Pg. 11
GWOON!
Luca - Did he...!?

Rock Dragon - Gwoo?

GWOON.
GWOON.
GWOO...

GWOONK.
GWOON.

GWOOK.

Gatou - Wha...What the? Is he...telling him that Luca fixed up his wound? [Haha...]
Shino - Are you two alright?

Pg. 12
Rock Dragon - GWOON.
Gatou - That was scary~ Hope it won't attack us again, though.
Shino - So even that quick-tempered Rock Dragon can adore its child...?

Gatou - Luca...what're you!?

Don't provoke it, stupid!
Shino - Luca-kun, what're you doing...?

Luca - ...There it is!

Pg. 13
That orange sparkle! I've seen it before, with my dad!

A rare metal chunk...of luminium! Wow!
-- Luminium Rarity: A / A rare metal which emits a strong heat ray when hit with intense light of more than 5000 lux. Relatively hard. --

Shino - Luminium!? The rare metal that reflects strong, harmful light...but its rarity is A...!
Is that the one Bordeaux-san said was near the crater!?

Gatou - Is this even possible, though? Guess the eruption must've changed its geography...

Luca - Alright!

Pg. 14
Gatou - Whoa!

Luca - Wow!!
It's even cooler when I look up close!!

Yay! I can pass the second part, now!
Gatou - Shut up, idiot. What'll you do if the dragon goes on a rampage again!? Quiet down!
Shino - You too.

Luca - Hehe, then I'll just quietly mine it with my Mallet Hands...

Pg. 15
Rock Dragon - GWOOOO...
Gatou - GAAAH, told ya!! You just provoked it too much...
Shino - No...wait...!

Rock Dragon - OOOOO...
GWOON. GWOON.

Shino - ...I knew it!

It's not Luca-kun...! There's something up there...

Rock Dragon - GWOOO
OOOO

Pg. 16
Gein - I have to come down this far from the crater to mine luminium, hm...?
That sure took some time.

Gatou - Who's that?
Shino - He...He's floating!?

Gein - Whatever, I'll mine all this now.
Rock Dragon - GWOOO...

Pg. 17
GWOOOOOO

Gein - A rock dragon. So this is your nest, hm...well,

Quiet down!

Shino - [He scared that quick-tempered rock dragon in just an instant!?]

Pg. 18
Luca - You sure are awesome!

But sorry, I found this Luminium, too!
I won't take all of it, though, so let me mine it first!

But you even scared that rock dragon, hm?
And that floating thing...looks interesting.

Hey, can you let me try-

Pg. 19
Gah...

Gatou - Luca!
Shino - Lu...Luca-kun!?

Gein - That's not a metal one can divide himself...

** An enemy appears!! **

I, Gein,
Am claiming all of it.

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 10 "The Power of Treasures"
Pg. 1
** Coming together as one, they seek out their treasure!! **

Pg. 2
** The rare metal lay dormant in a pit of boiling magma!! **

Gatou - ...Is that...
The Rarity B metal?

Seriously? But why is it so easy to spot...?

The rarity, as judged by the Associates...
Doesn't only consider how hard it is to find one.

The difficulty of mining it...which is the primary cause for its rarity in the market, also plays an important role.
That Gransten is also in that category.
How do you think we can get to it in this pool of magma...?
-- Gransten, Rarity: B / A heat-resistant, extremely heavy rare metal. As it is found deep underground, making difficult to mine, it's known as the "Corkscrew of the Earth" --

Pg. 3
Zecke - Haha, so the Rarity B metal is a Gransten!?
Alright, then this Zecke-sama...

Will be the first of the first to mine it!
Luca - Ah!

Shino - He's using a single rope to get across the magma!?
Luca - Dammit, I'm going, too!
Gatou - Luca!

Luca - OWWW!!

Pg. 4
Zecke - Haha!
Will this make me the first to pass, then?

Hm?

What!!?

Whoa!
Wha...What the!?

Ciseaux - If there's no ground to stand on, then just make ground.

Pg. 5
That metal exists for this Ciseaux.
I'll be the only one to pass this exam.

Zecke - You're trying to have it all to yourself? That's bullshit!
I found that one first!

Luca - Gosh...it's so hot in here. What should we do...?
Gatou - Hey, you sure you're OK with this? They're going to get it before you do.

Shino - Fufu, to begin with, Gransten isn't something you can monopolize by yourself.
Just leave this to me.

But, what worries me more...

Ciseaux - Hm?

Pg. 6
Shino - [Is the geographical change from volcanic activity!]

Ciseaux - Ngh.

Zecke - Uh...
UWAAAAH!

Pg. 7
Luca - You alright?
Zecke - Y...You...!?

Gatou - Luca!? What the heck are you doing?

Pg. 8
Why'd you help him!?
Luca - Eh...well, he might've died if I didn't...

Gatou - That's what the emergency device is for, idiot!
Luca – Oh yeah.

Zecke - ...No...

It was too sudden, I wouldn't have been able to press the button in time...
Tha...Thanks.
Luca - OK, that's good, then.

Ciseaux - Wahaha, saved by the kid, eh!? Some Minea you are!
Zecke - Sh...Shut up!!

Kid...
You did save me, but...that was that...the exam is the exam!

Pg. 9
That Gransten'll be mine!

Luca - Ah, what the? That's dirty.

Ciseaux – You wish! I'll get it before you!

Ngh...not again!?

Zecke - We can't even get close to it, like this...

Shino - The transformation doesn't always put us at a disadvantage.

Take the slightest chance to accurately make swift and flexible moves!
That is...

Pg. 10
The essence of treasure hunting!!

Gatou - Shi...Shino-san!!

Pg. 11
Shino - Hah!!

Pg. 12
That's my real power that takes me to the treasure!
Gatou - Shi...Shino-san, you're awesome!! [But what's that "Power of Treasures"!?]

Shino - Hmmm, now I have to mine it with caution...
But wait, isn't that Luca-kun's job?
Zecke - Fuck, is there any other way I can get to it?

Shino - This heat...I knew it. There's quite some...
Trenka - Watch it.

Pg. 13
Shino - Eh?

Pg. 14
Trenka – Heh.

This Gransten is heavier than I thought. [It's hot.]
I planned to take the whole thing, but I guess I'll have to settle for a small piece of it.

Shino - Wha...
Wha...

Tre...Trenka-san!? What did you just...!!
Trenka - Hm? Is it wrong for me to mine it first?

Pg. 15
Shino - I'm not talking about that! Gransten is the "Corkscrew of Earth"...!
Most of them weigh down magma, suppressing the pressure!!

If you break it like that, the pressure from the magma will release...!!

Trenka - Oh, so that's it. Eh, then that means...

Shino - This is bad!! Everyone, run!!

The magma's...

Pg. 16-17
Luca - Wow...
Shino - Hurry, Luca-kun!!
Gatou - Luca!
Luca - Be right there!

Ciseaux - Shit.
Zecke - We can't escape, anymore!!

UWAAH!
EEK!

Pg. 18
Bordeaux – Haha.
That's one awesome blow!

Examinees - What!? It's erupting!?
For real? But, I still can't find the rare metal vein...!!

The pyroclastic flow is coming. What should we do!? There's still time left, but...
Dammit.

Pg. 19
Gatou - We can't get out through here, either!
We've hit a dead end. We're quickly losing our standing ground, as well!

Shino – But, we still didn't get any treasure!
Gatou - Shouldn't you be more concerned with your life, right now? Even if we find a way, we won't get back in time. It's better to just use the ring.

Luca, let's give up this year!
Luca?

What're you doing? Hey!

Bordeaux - ...30 minutes...
Left...!

** Danger's closing in and time's running out!! **

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 10 / END
Next chapter, will the three escape!? What will become of this exam!? https://mangahelpers.com/t/judasu/releases/23594 [English] [Translation] Metallica Metalluca 9 by Ju-da-su 2010-07-22T01:07:15+00:00 Ju-da-su admin@mangahelpers.com I'm getting close to the exam and am trying to get myself to study (emphasis: TRYING...never succeeded through, in these past 4-5 years...-_-").

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 9 "Go! The Rush at Mt. Volcano"
Pg. 1
** His looks are good, but so are his skills!! Who could this handsome man be!? **

Gatou - [We barely made it, thanks to Luca's power...]
[But, this guy...defeated all those Electigras by himself...!? Just what's with that!?]

*grin*

Trenka - Looks like we'll be at our next destination once we get out of these woods...Wanna go together?
Gatou - ...Ugh.

What should we do, Luca? That guy's just way too suspicious...

Shino - With pleasure <3
Trenka - Oh, how beautiful you are...hm?
Gatou - Shino-san...!!

Pg. 2
** One day, the whole world...shall know of my beauty and intelligence! **

Pg. 3
-- Class C Danger Zone, Mt. Volcano --

Gatou – There's the airship! Is this Mt. Volcano...!?
Luca - Wow, awesome. This cliff's so steep!

Shino - Wait a sec, you guys...!

Pg. 4
Why didn't you tell me my clothes were torn? This is embarrassing!
Gatou - We...Well, we thought you already noticed...

Shino - I want to go home and change, right now!
Luca - I thought I already fixed it for you with Phylonium?

Shino - I'm better off without this...
This seriously makes me looks like a weirdo.
Gatou - Meh, I think it's perfect! [Nice job, Luca.]

Trenka – It would appear...

Many examinees have already been cut.
There were thousands before, but only a few are left remaining...

Pg. 5
Bordeaux - Are all you here, those who passed the first test?

57 people, hm...to think this many could get out of the forest of thunder beasts...
'tis a big yield this year, wouldn't ya say?

Examinee – Who-Who is that!? An examiner!?
Where are you!?
The forest of thunder beasts? There's thunder beasts in there?
I didn't see any, though.

Trenka - Oh, I helped the other examinees, then? [Does that disqualify me...!?]

Examinee - Anyway, dropping us off like that was just horrible!
Show yourself!

Bordeaux - Shut up.
Can't ya see that I'm already here!?

Pg. 6
Good job coming this far!!
Welcome, all you little chickens, to this second exam site, Mt. Volcano!!

Gatou - He just came out of the ground...!!?
Luca – What is he, a mole!?

Bordeaux - Who're you callin' a mole!?
I do indeed live like one, but still.

I'm Bordeaux, the Minea assigned to oversee this portion of the exam.
I'll fail any whiny guys, so be on guard!

Pg. 7
Examinee - Bo...Bordeaux-sama!?
Wow...
What!? The Rank A Minea, Bordeaux-sama, is our instructor!?

Trenka - Is he well-known?
Shino - Yeah.

He's the prestigious Minea who discovered the vein with metals of all rarities.
His sense of smell is second to none.

Trenka - Oh, I see.

Gatou - This guy...
He's an examinee, but doesn't know who Bordeaux-sama is?

Bordeaux - I'll explain the details of this portion.
The goal's simple...
The signature work of us Mineas...

Pg. 8
Go find a rare metal and bring it back to me.

Examinees - Yeah, here we go! That's the way the exam should be.
Haha.
Bordeaux - Of course, you can use any kind of equipment you want...

But...
You only have 3 hours.

Examinees - What!?

Bordeaux - Size doesn't matter...!
Find me a rare metal in this mountain and bring it back within 3 hours, before the hourglass runs out. Simple, isn't it?

Pg. 9
Well, then...
Examinee - Ho...Hold on a second, Bordeaux-sama!!

You want us to find a rare metal in this dangerous place within 3 hours...?
That's just too much!!
You dropped us from the sky, and now this?...What's with this exam...?

No one'll ever be able to...

Wha...!!

Bordeaux - I told ya, I'll fail anyone who whines, didn't I?
No matter where we are, we Minea must always keep our cool.

Fine...lemme give ya a hint, then.

Pg. 10
I can smell about three rare metal veins in this mountain.

The first one is a Rarity C metal I felt on the slope around the mountain side...

The second one is a Rarity B metal I suspect is near the magma pool, deeper in.

And the third is a Rarity A metal floating in the crater.

It's up to you to choose!

Of course, I'll accept any other rare metals ya bring, as well.

Well, then...
You've got 3 hours...

Pg. 11
BEGIN!!

Pg. 12
Gatou - They all took off, already! What are we gonna do, then!?
Luca - Seems they all went for the mountain side.

Gatou - Well, that's because lower rarity metals are easier to find, I guess...?

Shall we go for C too, then?
Luca - Alright...grab onto me. I'll use Fragorium to...
Shino - We'll go for B.

Gatou - Huh!?

Shino - We definitely have to go for B!
So, let's head for the underground.

Luca - Why's that?
Gatou - Wouldn't C be easier to get...?

Shino - Yes, the rarer the metal, the harder it will be to find. So, after hearing that, of course everyone will go for C!
But listen. This is a selection test!

Pg. 13
There's no way everyone will pass. There has to be some kind of challenges, for sure.
Taken the time and the degree of difficulty, A is out of the question, so...
B would be more probable for us to get!

Luca - Oh...

Shino - This is just the beginning!

My first treasure hunt in a danger zone under the cover of the Minea Exam!!
Luca - WHAT!?

Shino - That's why I became your assistant, after all! I'm coming for you, my little treasure!
Luca - Wait...you mean...you were aiming for the rare metal from the start!?

Shino - Come on!
Gatou - Eek...
Trenka - I see it, now.

Pg. 14
-- Mt. Volcano, Inside the underground --

Shino - We've come pretty far down...How much time have we used up, already?
Gatou - Around 30-40 minutes, I'd guess...maybe more?

Shino - We're so deep already...it's starting to get hot...
But we still don't see any trace of a rare metal.

Gatou - ...What're you doing, Luca?
Luca - I was thinking that maybe I can sniff it out, like old man Bordeaux.

Shino - That's just a metaphor! He just used his gut instinct!
Luca - Really?

Otherwise, he'd be a monster if he could distinguish metals by their smell...!
Hm?

Pg. 15
What!? This rock's moving...

Wai...

I'm gonna fall!!

Luca - Watch out!

Shino - Owwwwwww.

Pg. 16
Shino - Hey...don't pull on me so hard, OK? ...wait...
Y...you're not peeking at any pervy place, are you!?

Luca - You're so whiny. I was helping you, alright?
Gatou - Lu...Luca!

This isn't a rock.

It's a rock-shaped creature!!
Wait! Isn't this...a baby Rock Dragon...!? It's said to live near magma...
...which means...

Pg. 17
Gatou - Whoa, Luca...you sure you can get close to it!?
Luca - This guy...his leg's injured. Someone might've stepped on him, thinking he's a rock.

There you go.

Shino - Hey, you two. Stop playing around...come here!!
This cave!

Luca - Wow, did that Rock Dragon pass through here?
Gatou - It's a tight fit.

Hey, Luca! That guy's following us because you helped him!
Luca - Oh~

Shino - We made it! Come look over here.

Luca - Wow, the air's blazing hot!!
Shino - Surely...this must be what Bordeaux-san was talking about.

Pg. 18-19
Mt. Volcano's magma pool!!
** The spewing molten rock! The burning hell!! The rare metal they're seeking is here!? **

Gatou - Hey, look at the light coming from that rock...

Could that...
Ore be...!!

Trenka - Oh...

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 8 "Electigra, the Lightning Beast"
Pg. 1
A Happy Holiday to ya! Is it the fishing that caught your eye? Or was it the sexy me!?

Pg. 2
** Facing the beasts upon landing!! They’re in even greater danger!! **

Electigra - GRRR...
GRAAAARH

Gatou - E...Electigra!?
Aren't they the vicious beasts that'll even attack dragons...?

UGWAH!!

Pg. 3
Lu-...Luca! Do something...

Luca - This is my first time, as well. I wonder what I should do...
Gatou - Hey! Don't just take off on your own!

Shino - In this situation, the one who makes the quickest getaway…

Wins!

Everyone go in the woods.
Gatou – Go...Gotcha.

*sniff* *sniff*

Pg. 4
Electigra - GROOAH

Gatou - Shit! They found us, already!!

Dammit, they're catching up.
I'll use my metal board...

Pg. 5
WHAAT!!? It won't float!!
Shino - We're not in the city, that board's useless here!
Gatou – Oh yeah! It won't float without the magnetic field.

NGNYA!

Luca – Then, I'll...

Make some use of it!!

Shino - Ah...
You can't...

Pg. 6
Luca - MEGYABABABA

Shino - You...

*step*

Shino – The Electigra is a beast that can discharge high amounts of electricity to paralyze its prey!
It's a natural enemy to the spreading of metals that people even call it the Man-eater Lightning Beast!
Luca – Tell me that sooner...

Pg. 7
Gatou - We...We're surrounded!!
Shino - Don't panic! We'll find a way out, somehow!

Somehow...
*rustle*
Huh?

Bejeena - Well then, Zuou...
Let us see, of the 3776 examinees this year...
How many will be able to safely land, escape the forest of lightning beasts...
Reach Mt.Volcano...

Pg. 8
And finally pass onto the second examination site?
I do hope it won't be zero again...

Gatou - You...You sure we can find a way outta this!?
Luca - Tha...That's thing's huge!!

Shino - The leader of the pack!!?
I never knew there was one this big...

Pg. 9
Electigra - GWROOO...

Luca - What's with that destructive power...?
Gatou - There's no way to win if we can't stop its movement.

Shino - [Stop its movement!?]
[That’s right...!]

Use this, Luca-kun.

Pg. 10
Luca - [A chunk of Phylomium!!]

Shino – Can you make a cage some distance away from us!? We're going to lock that beast inside!
Luca - Oh! Clever thinking!
Shino - Make it quick, stupid!

Quick...

KYAA!

Luca - Shino!

Shino - Ugh...I'm fine! Do it now, Luca-kun!

Pg. 11
Luca - Damn you!

I'll lock you all up!!

Gatou - Luca, it's about to discharge. Watch out!

Pg. 12
Luca - Ugh.

Gatou - Dammit...it doesn't work...!?

Pg. 13
Luca - The board's moving on its own!?

Wai...UWAAH!

Gatou - [Isn’t this...]

[The electric current's flowing through Luca's unfinished cage...]

[Making a strong magnetic field around it...]

Pg. 14
[It’s a solenoid!!]

[The magnetic force should be stronger inside the solenoid.]
Luca!

Slam the board on that thing's head!
That's...

Pg. 15
The only way to beat it, Luca!!
*CLANG*

Luca - You dare try and shock us with such weird electricity.
Like hell we'll...

Become...

Pg. 16
Your prey!

Gatou - That shape...
It's a giant bullet...!!

[When it reaches the opening of the solenoid, it'll]

[Speed up!!]

Pg. 17
Electigra - GYKEEH

Pg. 18
Luca - We won!

Shino - Yippee!
Gatou – Look at how awesome we are!!
Shouldn't be too hard for us to clear the whole exam, now!

Luca - Isn't that obvious? I'm gonna be a Minea, after all.
Gatou - You won't make it without Shino's and my help though, stupid.

Shino - Yep, you got that right, Gatou-kun.
Gatou - [Shino-san, your clothes are about to tear apart!!]

Pg. 19
Trenka - Ahaha, you're a lively bunch, there.
Aren't you happy over beating just one lightning beast?

Well, I guess this should calm the forest for a while.

Alright.

I've never taken the exam before, but I do hope there's more, since honestly, this is quite a let down for me.
Gatou - Ju...Just who are you, exactly...?
** A fearless smile! Their rival has shown himself!? **

Trenka - Me? I'm Trenka...a solo examinee with no assistant.
Nice to meet you...

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 8 / END
Next chapter, Trenka's arrival changes everything!? What will the second exam that's about to begin be!? https://mangahelpers.com/t/judasu/releases/23259 [English] [Translation] Metallica Metalluca 7 by Ju-da-su 2010-07-01T04:27:22+00:00 Ju-da-su admin@mangahelpers.com Supposed to be done since yesterday, but I was sick and couldn't come online the whole day yesterday... ._."

PS. Sorry, Gal...I failed at SFX...>__>"
PPS. Since I can't get onto the IRC, I searched for the last one, and it said that a group of tiger is called as either streak or ambush...that's what I'm trying to say when I said "swarm" (though guess swarm only works with bugs... ._.")

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 7 "Start of the First Round!"
Pg. 1
** Luca, finally on his way to the Minea exam!! **
Zuou - We'll be heading to the first examination site!

After checking your names, all examinees and assistants...

Please get yourself a number ring...

And promptly board the Grand Airship inside the main gate.

Luca - Grand Airship?
Gatou - It's a flying vehicle made from metal ore.
I've never seen it up close myself, but...you'll be surprised.
Luca - Heh~

Gatou - There it is.

Pg. 2-3
Luca - SO BIG!!!
** Finally, on his journey aboard the giant ship!! **

And this thing can fly!? Awesome!
Gatou – He-Hey!

SFX: Pat

Shino - We'll be more and more prepared from here on in.
I'm not worried about Luca...but are you sure you're OK?

Pg. 4
Gatou - Please let me take that exam, as well.

Shino - Huh?

Luca - Gatou, so you really are planning on becoming a Minea?
Bejeena - Hmm...but now...

Gatou - No!
Please let me take it as Luca's assistant.

Luca - Ajeestank?
Shino - It's "assistant".
Bajeena - Hmm...I see.

Pg. 5
Indeed, Minea examinees are allowed to have two attendants at most...for support.
You want me to accept you as that, then...?
Luca - Oh, you mean attendant?

Bajeena - However, the risk is no less than for the examinees themselves.

A weak assistant will only burden the examinee.
No doubt, it's also probable that you'll lose your life.
Examinees don't get disqualified for having a disqualified assistant...
But, you'll suffer if you're half-hearted about this.

Gatou - I've...realized my own path...

The path of metal art that I want to proceed on...! What lies before that...is the power of the Metallica Tribe.
How can it directly express such an intense feeling...?

With Balk the Hero gone, I want to...

Pg. 6
Watch that mystery right beside Luca! Where I can see him demonstrate his power!
To that end, even if it was my life, I wouldn't regret it!

Luca - I personally don't mind.

My dad can travel while protecting a kid like me, after all.
I won't be able to surpass him if I can't even do that.

Gatou - Shut it!! Who's going to be protected!? I'm the one assisting you, Luca!
Luca - Wahaha.
Shino - ...Is that alright?
Bajeena - Hmmm.

Father - Don't say selfish things, Gatou!!

Pg. 7
Gatou - Woah...dad!!
And granny, too!?

Father - Just when I was wondering where you were, running off from the factory like that...
Don't trouble the Associates people, idiot! Come on home with me.

Gatou - I've made up my mind.
I'll go on the Minea exam as an assistant!
So I'll be taking a break from the factory.

Huh!? Minea? You'd only die without being of any help, sure thing!
Now, you say something, granny...

Pg. 8
Granny - Yeah, go ahead and die, then!
Father - See? Even granny said that...wait, WHAAAAT!?

Granny - There's no cure for a moron, after all.
You'll be one for the rest of your life.

Back to preparing the medicines so they can be sent to Elza Village now!
Father - He...Hey.

Granny, wait...

Gatou - Luca!

Pg. 9
Let me see your power with my very own eyes, kay!?

Luca - Haha, gotcha!

Shino – And, of course...

I'm going, too!
Luca - Eh...Shino!? But why!?

Shino - I also registered as your assistant. That means the three of us are teaming up!
Let's make it through together, Luca-kun, Gatou-kun!
Luca - Huh, you're going too!? But, I didn't know anything about that!

Gatou - I'm totally up for it!!

Announcement - We're taking off!!

Pg. 10
Luca - Amazing, we're really flying!! [Wow~]
Gatou - This runs using rare metals as well...so I reckon we have the Minea to thank for this, as well.
Luca - Heh~

Pg. 11
Announcement - To all examinees!

Your first destination will be a C-class Danger Zone, Volcano Mountain Range!
You may use any metals in your possession except restricted ones!

In addition, the number rings we've given to you are an emergency device made of rare metal alloys.

If you feel you're in danger, and about to lose your life, or want to give up...
Don't hesitate to press the button and your life will be spared...
And so, best of luck to you all!

Shino - I've heard many people were severely injured in the past exam because they don't provide this.
Luca - Heh~
Examinee - Hah!!

Why would we need this, if we're going to become Minea!?
Screw them for treating us like weaklings.

Pg. 12
I don't care if ‘tis an anniversary exam or what...
But seein’ all these wimps around sure is pissin’ me off!

Hah~
Aaaaaaah...fuck it.

Luca - Wonder where the engine...
Gatou - Wait, Luca!

Examinee - ...I wouldn't mind women, but...

A kid? Gimme a break...
Gatou - Ufh!!?

Pg. 13
Hey, what do you think you're doing!
Shino - Are you alright, Gatou-kun?

Examinee - Hah, wanna give it a go? Bring it on, then! Haha!
Gatou - Ngh.
Zuou - Hey,

Don't start any unnecessary fights.
Otherwise, you'll be disqualified.

Examinee - Why, if it isn't Zuou-san... how much further are we goin’ til we get to this place and start the exam? My body's already achin’ up.
Screamin’ "Ain't we there yet?"

Zuou – What are you saying?
Examinee - Eh, well, you see...

Zuou - The exam has already begun.
Examinee - Huh? But we...

He...Hey!
The...the floor's...shak...

Pg. 14-15
Shino - Hold...

Examinee - What...!?

Luca - It opened!?

Examinees - UWAAAAA
AAAAAAH!

Pg. 16
Gatou - AAAAAH, I'M GONNA DIE~~~
Shino - Wai...Watch where you're touching!!

Gatou - Oh...Oh yeah.
If we press this button...

Examinee - SAVE MEEEEEE!! NO MOOOOORE~~
Gatou - It's that old dude!?

-- Bubblium Rescue Dome: Made from Bubblium, it's set inside the emergency device and will protect the wearer from any impact by expanding around the person. --

Pg. 17
Whoa!
Whoa!

Zuou - He's disqualified, then.

A Minea...

Should be able to deal calmly...
With any situation.

Gatou - [That's right! This is already the exam itself! Using the emergency device will only disqualify the person...]
But...But, how are we...

Luca - We can press this?
Gatou - Wait, Luca! Can't you think of another way!?
Luca - Hm?

Pg. 18
Then...

SFX: Kachink

Gatou - Whoa!!

Ugh!
Shino – Kyaa!

Luca - Geez, I knew carryin' more than two people would be heavy...
Gatou - Can...Can we actually call this safe?
Shino - Owww.

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 7 / END

Pg. 19
Gatou- Look at that. Lots of people just failed! Serves'em right.

Shino - Don't go acting all tough, just yet! This is a Minea exam, alright?
We'll be kickin' buckets if we let our guard...

Electigra - GRRRR

Gatou - I'm sorry for letting my guard down~~!!
** Out of the frying pan and right into the fire!? **
Shino - Shit...!! We-We're in a streak of Electigra!!? https://mangahelpers.com/t/judasu/releases/23146 [English] [Translation] Metallica Metalluca 6 by Ju-da-su 2010-06-23T02:59:56+00:00 Ju-da-su admin@mangahelpers.com Since I dislike PM...GAL~ What about Metallica?

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 6 "A Promise"
Pg. 1
** His eyes, always on that back, and one day!! **

Pg. 2
** The elegant Shino! What's with that!? **

Shino - I can't accept this!

Wasn't registration already over?
Also, letting a child take that harsh Minea Examination alone will already make people question the ethics of the Associates.

Bajeena - Just take it easy.
Shino - Why do you seem so relaxed!? You are a president, aren't you, Gramps!?

Luca – Come on. Just take it easy, okay? Nahaha.
Shino - [If things turn out like this, my plan of using Luca-kun's ability for my treasure hunting will be for nothing...]

Shino - Say something, Zuou!

Pg. 3
Zuou - President Bajeena has the right to make the final decision.
Now that he has decided, I'll not comment any further.

Shino - Yeah, since you've become so high and mighty, huh? You might be my childhood friend, but now, you're the great Minea-sama.

Aww, Zuou...

You're not going to listen to my dearest request?

Pg. 4
Zuou - Ple...
Please excooze me for now!

Shino - Hehe, his shyness just never changes.
Gatou - Excooze?

Hey, who's this perverted girl?
Can you introduce her to...

Hey, wait! What the heck are you doing, Luca!?
Luca - Nahaha, I'm already itched to take the exam.
Gatou – That’s one weird way of expressing that, though!?

Bajeena - You're the boy who often sneaks into that exhibition room, aren’t you?

Gatou - You knew about that!?
Bajeena - Hoho, and you seem to be very curious about the metal box, no?

Pg. 5
Inside that box is the sculpture...
Made by Balk, the SS-Rank Minea, named "The Angel's Grievance".

Gatou - Balk-sama...you mean...that famous hero!?
Bajeena - Even the news of his disappearance several years ago is also well known, yes...

Do you want to see that sculpture, then?

I'm sure I put its photometal somewhere around here...
Shino - You just do everything as you please, once again...
Bajeena - Oh, here it is!

Here it is, the “Angel's Grievance”.
Gatou - Wow...!!
-- Photometal, Rarity: - / A metal processed from Memorium, which captures images on its semi-lucid surface. Thus, called a photograph. --

Pg. 6
Shino - ...This sculpture looks depressing...
Gatou - It was an awesome sculpture, no doubt...but why would this need such tight security...?

Shino - Eh?

Tears just pour out on their own...!

Pg. 7
Bajeena - That's the strange power of this sculpture...
Anyone who looks at it will automatically feel for it...

Even a photograph of it has this much impact...
Some people who've seen the real thing even claimed that the sculpture was moving.
Gatou - The...The sculpture was moving!?

So...So even this can become possible if metalwork is pushed to its highest...
Bajeena - No...I doubt normal humans can obtain that...

Only the Metallica Tribe can have this skill.

Shino - The Metallica Tribe!?

Bajeena - Yes, it's a phantasmal tribe in the folklore of metalsmiths.

Pg. 8
The tribe that was believed to be demolished in the ancient Great War between nations...
Those people continued seeking for metals...always lived with them and had captured the esoteric doctrines of them.

Their hands were said to be mallets that can instantly transform any metal at will...
But, due to that...

Pg. 9
It's easy for their souls to be transmitted into the metals. Through their hands...
Their creations can sway the hearts of people, so they were rejected by the era along with the existence of their tribe.
As for their descendants...as far as I know, there's one remaining survivor...

Gatou - Now I get it...that person is the one who created this...
The hero Balk!!

His magnificence as a Minea doesn't only come from his blood, though...
And it seems that Balk wasn't the last one after all.

Pg. 10
Luca - Balk is...my dad.

Shino - Lu...Luca-kun is a son of the hero...!?
Gatou - Seriously...?

Luca - [Dad...!]

Pg. 11
Dad!!
Where're you going?

Wait for me, da...

Wah!!?

Balk - Sorry, Luca...
But I can't take you with me any further.
You must walk your own path.

Luca - But...But why?
Balk - Where I'm heading is an S-class Danger Zone...
Even I won't be able to protect you here.

I'll...go find the metal as told of within the Metallica Tribe...
"The Ultimate Metal".

Luca - Ultimate Metal!?

Pg. 12
Balk - So to say, it's the rarest of the rare! I've heard that those metals are the core of our power...
Why is our tribe bound to this power?
If I can solve that, we might be of an even better use for humanity.

And for...
Your mother, as well...most certainly...

Pg. 13
Luca - Dad!!

I'll become a Minea and follow your footsteps, for sure!
So you don't have to come protecting me!!

I'll find every last Rare Metal,
And that Ultimate Metal as well...

I'll become an even more marvelous Minea than you are, dad!!

Pg. 14
Balk - [Geob Road!]

-- Geob, Rarity: S / An ultra-rare metal that can change heat to magnetic energy. Not much is known about it, even now. --
I see...then...

Pg. 15
Quickly get to where I’m standing.
And from there, the two of us can become rivals...!

I'll wait for you up ahead! Luca!

Luca - I'll...
I'll surely...

Pg. 16
Become a Minea!!
I'm in for the exam!!

Shino - Hah, I give up.

But even so, I still have a plan in mind.

Pg. 17
-- Metal City, Central Plaza --

Shino - Wow, so many people.
Gatou - That's obvious. I bet there're some thousands here.

Shino - But where's Luca-kun?
Gatou - Well...

There he is!

Shino - What's he doing there!!?
Gatou - Leave me out if he gets mad again...

Pg. 18
Bajeena - ...Everyone, I'm glad that you've all gathered here today...
However, only a handful of you will be able to become Mineas.

Nowadays, rare metals play an essential role in our lives, giving birth to the industry that has greatly driven our country's economy.
Mineas are to be credited for carrying those out!
However, with it, comes great risk! We cannot warrant your lives, even in this exam!

Zuou - To survive through this is also a big step towards becoming a Minea!

Pg. 19
Live.
And harness all your skills in seeking for, manufacturing, or making use of rare metals.

May the metals be with us!

I hereby commence the 122nd Minea Selection Exam!!
** The first step towards a dream!! Finally, the curtain has been drawn!! **

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 5 "You sure it's okay!? The Great Infiltration Operation"
Pg. 1
Zuou - You made such a fuss over capturing a single kid!?
Keep in mind that your action represents the dignity of the Associates!
Officers - Ye...Yes, Zuou-sama!

Zuou - ...A kid, hm...?

** Luca's become a wanted criminal!! Where exactly is he headed...!? **

Gatou - It's this way. Come on.

Pg. 2
Luca - Hey, where are we?
Gatou - Hehe, a newcomer probably doesn't know about this.

Metal City is divided into four sectors: North, South, East and West...
It's five if we include the central sector, where the headquarters of the Metallist Associates are located, though.
This underground waterway spreads over the whole area like the mesh of a net.

Sure, there are security guards from the Associates down here too, but if we go about it carefully...

Guard - Hm?

Who's that? Someone down there!?

Pg. 3
Something wrong?
Naw...I thought I saw some big shadow moving down there...

Haha, you sure it wasn’t just some mice or cats?
Hmmm.

Luca - Hey...

Will I really get to take the Minea exam if I follow you?
I'm starting to feel like a sneaky thief.
Gatou - Heh!

What's your name?
Luca - I'm Luca! What about you?

Pg. 4
Gatou - Listen, Luca! There are millions of things in this world that you can't get through proper means...
Especially in this city.
Luca - Hey, your name?

Gatou - Above us is the Central HQ of the Associates, which is off limits to commoners.
Luca - Hey.
Gatou - Articles of famous metalsmiths and the register of Minea examinees should be kept in one of the rooms there.

What that means is...

Just leave the matter to me, the great Gatou, and I'll make the impossible possible!
Luca - Ah, so you're Gatou!
Gatou - ...This guy's such a pain.

Pg. 5
Luca - Wow, this building's huge!
Gatou - Shh.

Be careful. This is the headquarters of all Mineas...! If we're caught, we'll be in for some major punishment, for sure!
Luca - Eh!? You mean there are tons of Mineas here!?

HE~~~Y, I'LL BECOME A MINEA...

Mgh.
Gatou - What the hell are you doing, right after I told you not to!!?

Don't be so loud. Just zip it and follow me, stupid!
Luca - E~h, what's that?

Pg. 6
Gatou - We're here.

Luca - Wow, these're awesome!! So many metal statues in here...!!
Gatou - Shh.
See? Good to have me as your guide, right?

Here it is. Found it!

Pg. 7
Our target...this year's register of Minea examinees!
Piece of cake!!

Gatou - Now, just pick out a name...
There!!

"Lu...ca".

Luca - You...sure it's okay?
Gatou - Heh! It's fine. Just leave it to me. Everything'll be fine and good!
Luca - ...I hope so.

But I'm surprised you knew this place. Isn't this off limits to commoners?
Gatou - Hehe...

Back when I was a kid...

Pg. 8
I came in from the front one time...

[Wow...!!]

[I wanna try and make a wonderful statue like that, too...!]
[That impression immediately drove me to a gigantic factory in the city to learn about metalworking.]

Boss - [You have the skills, but still lack spirit.]
[Stop being so caught up in the beauty and just do what's in front of you!]

Gatou - [It's just pipes, pipes, and more pipes!]
Boss - [Fool!! Putting effort into ordinary stuff requires skill and devotion, too...]

Pg. 9
??? - [Statue, huh? So stupid.]

Gatou - [What's wrong with it? I just...]
??? - [You're annoying!]

[Don't be so full of yourself just because you're good with your hands.]
[Hahaha.]

Gatou - Damn!

Well, whatever, this place is very important to me...

Luca - Hey, this is awesome. It's the super-hard Tantal.
Gatou - ...You didn't even listen to me!? For the love of God!

But there's one thing...
I seriously want to see...

Pg. 10
This one.

Luca - A metal box...!?

Gatou - "The Metal Box"! I'm sure there must be one awesome statue inside.
Hey, look at that.

They used metal rings to lock it.
It must be something valuable, for them to not even use a key lock on it...

I'll need your power for this, Luca.

Pg. 11
You can twist metal without making even the slightest sound...can't ya?

Actually, I was doubtful about what I saw, but! I didn't miss that ruckus you caused in town!
Would you help me, then?

Luca - This box...has the same smell as my dad.

Gatou - Your dad!? Did your dad smell that bad...?

Zuou – Now who would've thought you'd sneak in here?

Pg. 12
Gatou - Zu...
Zuou-sama!?

Zuou - Acting as if you're thieves...You being kids doesn't mean I'll let this go, though.

Gatou - Ugh...
Luca - Thieves...?

I only came here to become a Minea!
Gatou - Yo...You idiot!

Zuou - You? A Minea?
Gatou - I said to just leave this to me, alright?

Pg. 13
I'm sorry!! The truth is...it's all because...
He threatened and forced me here!

And if I resist, he'll punch and kick me...
Luca - Wha...Hey...? Somethin's wrong with that!

Zuou - Hmm, so you're saying that he's the one behind it all...?
Gatou - Ye...Yes, sir.

Zuou - I see...if that's the case...

Pg. 14
It's the death sentence for him.

Gatou - Eh...Dea...Death sentence? But, isn't that...!?
Zuou - Obviously.

Records of terrorizing or trespassing are undesirable for the one who aims to become a Minea.
He should already be more or less prepared to meet his end if he were to be caught.

Pg. 15
...Otherwise, he would need to be powerful enough to overtake us.
Gatou - Eh...umm...wai...wait a second, please!

I...I doubt he has any intention of that...
Luca - Hey.
Gatou - What now?

Luca - You mean, if I can take him out, I can become a Minea!?
Gatou - What!?
Are you nuts? What nonsense...

Zuou – And you can do that?

Luca - Umm, I'm not totally sure, but...
If that's alright, then maybe I should...

Give it a shot!

Pg. 16
??? - ...I already said, we can't...
Shino – Why not!?

I'm already on my knees! Just let me see him!
??? - The...The president is currently busy in his office...
Shino - I'm begging you...

Eh!?
Wha...
What?

Zuou - Ngh.

Wh...
Who exactly is this kid...?

Pg. 17
Luca - Hehe,
How's that!

Gatou - "How's that", my foot! Damn you, Luca!
How dare you make the statue all soft like this!?
Luca - Meh, I was just...

Shino - Eh...Luca...!?

Pg. 18
Wha...What're you doing here!?
Luca - Oh, is that you, Shino?

Zuou - How dare you...
Hand - *pat*

Bajeena - That's enough, Zuou.

Zuou - Pre...President Bajeena.
Bajeena - Hoho, I've seen everything. Seems like we have a rather naughty guest here.

Luca - President? So you mean he's the big cheese?
Gatou - Isn't that obvious!? Just look, that Zuou's already on his knee...!!

Chapter 5 / END

Pg. 19
Bajeena - You want to take the Minea exam that badly, do you?

Maybe I should permit it, then.
Luca - Really!? You're alright with that!?

Zuou - Pre...President!?
Luca - YAHOO!
Gatou - That...That's awesome...See! Now you're all grateful to me, right!?

Shino - Hold on a sec, grandpa.
I had my eye on Luca-kun first.
Don't just decide that yourself!

Bajeena - Hm!? Oh, Shino! He's your partner, then?
Luca - Huh?...Grandpa?

Shino - Yeah...Bajeena, the president of this Associates, is my grandfather.
You should've just told me if you wanted to come here.
Bajeena - Nice to meet you.
Luca - WHA~~T!?

Chapter 4 "The Uproar of Metal City"
Pg. 1
** His first visit to Metal City! What excitement awaits him!? **

Pg. 2-3
-- Metal City - South: Market Sector --
** They've arrived at Metal City!! Full of liveliness!! **

Luca - Wow, this is so awesome!!
So this is Metal City!?

And everyone's here to become Mineas?
Shino - Of course not. This is the center of the economy. It's plain obvious there'll be lots of people here!
Luca - He~h.

Luca - This statue's huge!! What kind of metal's it made of?
Wow~

Shino - You really are a bumpkin.
Luca - Hm? You don't mind me jumpin' up on this?
Shino - I DO MIND!

Pg. 4
Gatou - Whoa...!! You're in the way. Move!
Luca - Hm?

Gatou - Ngh.

Luca - Wah!!

Gatou - Hey, don't go staggering around in the middle of the street like this!!

Tch.

Shino - Gosh, it's your fault for stopping there.
Luca - Wha...

Pg. 5
What's that board? I want one!!
Shino – Aah...

That's a hoverboard made from magnetic metal that was once very popular,
but I thought it was already banned due to how dangerous it was...

Anyhow, this city is the city of hope, filled with opportunities for people's dreams...!
But on the other side, it's also deeply engulfed in darkness.

One misstep and before you know it...
Luca - He~h.

Shino - Well, as long as we stick together, we'll be fine!
Now, first off, let's go take care of my business...

Pg. 6
...Wait, where're you going!!?
Luca - Hmmmm...

I also have a promise with the people in Elza to take care of before getting to my Minea business.
Shino – You do!? Wait…!

Alright, but wait here if you get lost! It's dangerous for you!
Luca - Nahaha, I'll be fine.

Don't wor...
Wah!

Shino - I'm very worried...

Pg. 7
Granny - Oh, Gatou. You snuck out of the factory again?
Gatou - Shut up, Granny!

I'm just irritated at my colleagues for putting the blame on me,
saying a genius doesn't require any effort.

Granny - If you hate metalwork that bad, just quit and take over my job.
Gatou – To Hell with that! Who would wanna run such boring medicine shop...?

Pg. 8
Luca - Finally found a medicine shop...The crowd really made me dizzy...
Gatou - Hm? It's that guy from before...
He reeks!! What the heck is he!

Granny - You want me to deliver medicine to Elza Village?

I don't mind that, but medications will vary by symptoms, as well as what kind of poison that patient inhaled...
Luca - Can you send different types of medicine, then?
Gatou - That's seriously broad...

Granny – But do you have that?
Luca – What do you mean by "that"?

Gatou - Cash, obviously! You won't get anywhere without it.
Luca - Ah, is that it?

Pg. 9
I don't have any money, but...
I do have these metals.

Gatou - Just look at this expensive platinum! Are...Are these rare, as well?
Granny - Hoho.
Luca - Can I get something with these, then?

Granny - Bu...But these...
Officials - Excuse us for a sec...

Pg. 10
but we have reports that a boy using a banned metal board was here.
Do you know anything about this, old lady?

Granny - Oh! You two are officials from the Metalist Associates?
Gatou - ...Shit!!

Officials - It seems the culprit resembled Gatou who lives...
Hm?

What with this heap of metal...?
Luca - I'm the one who collected them, since I want to become a Minea!

Official - A Minea?

Pg. 11
If memory serves, registration for this year's Minea exam has been over since last month.
Though the exam hasn't started yet.
Luca - Eh!?

This year's exam?...You mean I have to wait for another year!?
Officials – Hahaha!

With metal collecting being such a rough… You'd have to wait another 10 years, let alone next year!
Hey!

These rare metals aren't approved by the Associates?
Are these smuggled from the black market!?
What!?

Who exactly are you? You're coming with us to headquarters.
Luca - Heh? Why's that!?
Wait.

Pg. 12
Gatou - THERE!!
The president of the Metalis Associates is being attacked!!

Officials – Bajeena-sama!?
Whe...Where!?

Gatou - Hey, I'll lend this to you. Go on.
Luca - Heh?

I didn't do anything, though...
Gatou - Just get going...

Already!
Luca – Whoa!

Pg. 13
UHYAAAAAA

Officials - He...He ran off!? And where's Bajeena-sama!?
Gatou - Whoops? Guess I'm mistaken.
Officials - Then that brat's the kid with the metal board!?

Dammit, after him!!

Pg. 14
People – Whoa!

Kya.
Watch it!

Dog - Woof!
People - KYA!

Luca - Haha, I'm gettin' good at this.
Yahoo~!!

The Liberium board responds to the magnetic field in the street by hovering, huh?
-- Liberium Rarity: C - A rare metal which repels weak magnetic fields emitted by metals. Easy to gather. --

Pg. 15
...Eh?
So, then...how do I stop it!?

Officials - This is as far as you go, kid!!

You won't get away from us, who know the city in and out.
Behave yourself, stop it already!!

Luca - Wha...Whaddya want me to do...
to stop this thing, then...?

Officials - Hey... Stop I say!
Stop right now!

Sto...

STOP!!

Pg. 16

Pg. 17
Luca - Phew, finally stopped...

Agh!!

Oww...the statue broke!?
People - He...Hey, you see that!?

Pg. 18
This brat just broke the statue of “The Hero”!?
That's a serious crime...!!

Hey, if we capture the grave sinner, we get the bounty, right...?
Anything done against “The Hero” is unforgivable to begin with!!

Luca - ...Eh...?
You can't mean...

People - CAPTURE HIM~~~!!!
Luca - WHY DOES IT HAVE TO END UP LIKE THIS~~~!!?

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 4 / END

Pg. 19
Zuou - I barely return to the city after a long while, and it's already in an uproar.
What's all the excitement about?
People - Oh, it's Zuou-sama!! Zuou-sama's back!

Where's he now!?
You go over there!!

Gatou - Hey, you.
Luca - Wah!!

Ah...!! You're the guy from the medicine shop...
Gatou - Shh! You want to become a Minea, right?

I'll tell you how... you can become one.
Luca - Eh!?

pag 13:
B1) WOW, finalmente eu parei. isso doeu muito.
B2) e... ele não está morto...?!
B3) o-oque está acontecendo aqui?
B4) a cabana...
B5) o estoque de metal de nossa vila está completamente acabado!!
B6) hahahaha... de-desculpe.
B7) todos, saiam! venham todos aqui fora!
B8) eh?
B9) que...
B10) huh?

pag 14:
B1) hey você pode me desamarrar?
B2) como se eu fosse fazer isso!!
B3) você tem alguma ideia do que acabou de fazer?
B4) nossa vila elza no momento carece de metal. estamos perto de de ser desertados.
B5) desertados?
B6) nós estamos tentando economizar e achar uma mina nova.../ antes de você vir voando e destruir tudo. devemos te cozinhar?

pag 15:
B1) quem é você na verdade?/ o que você estava fazendo la emcima na montanha?
B2) eu sou luca!
B3) estou viajando para a cidade do metal para me tornar um minea.
B4) .... se tornar um minea?
B5) essa foi uma piada engraçada! hey, peguem a panela agora!
B6) ele tem ideia do que um minea é?
B7) hey! eu não estou brincando!
B8) fofofo, que jovem mais valente. você disse que vai se tornar um minea?
B9) elder!

pag 16:
B1) um menina é equivalente a um herói!
B2) ignorando com suas próprias forças, florestas onde muitos monstros vagam, montanhas onde erupçoes de lava acontem,
ou até mesmo no oceano onde nem a luz brilha, / eles buscam metais raros, mesmo que isso custe suas vidas...
é assim que os mineas são!
B3) sem eles, a industria de metais raros que impulsiona a economia atual, nunca se tornaria um sucesso.
B4) nossa vila elza gerou muitos mineas no passado...
B5) e é óbvio que seria suspeito você dizendo que quer se tornar um, tão despreocupadamente.
B6) ... se eu me tornar um minea...
B7) eu posso ir a qualquer lugar, não importa o quão perigoso, sem limites e sem precisar de dinheiro.

pag 17:
B1) só tenho que me tornar um menina e andar pelo mundo!
B2) algum problema com isso?!
B3) um minea é muito mais do que isso!
B4) como regularmente conseguir uma inacreditavel quantia de indenização.
B5) e eles podem ter muitas cas?!
B6) não apenas casas. dizem que eles tem até ilhas.
B7) e eles podem beber o quanto quiserem.
B8) uma vez que você tem autoridade, mesmo metalurgia cara será...
B9) ... esses olhos...
B10) não parecem ter qualquer malicia ou avereza neles...
B11) huumm... então, vamos logo com isso.


pag 18:
B1) vamos contar a você um pouco do problema em nossa vila. se você encontrar alguma coisa pra nós.../ não só iremos
te libertar, mas irei te dizer o caminho para a cidade.
B2) deve ser fácil para um aspirante a minea, mas talvez isos seja um pouco complicado para você.
B3) fechado. e não me deixe ver seu rosto feliz depois disso, vovô
B4) você vai confiar neste cara?
B5) mas, ele é só uma criança, e no jeito de falar. shella! shella!
B6) sim?
B7) desculpe, mas você poderia ficar de olho nele?
B8) e...eu?

pag 19:
Q1) raridade lunagium: e um metal semi-raro com reação a brulhos agudos po emitir luz temporariamente.--
B1) este é o nosso único quarto vazio, então por favor, aguente...
B2) aguentar? nah, eu não tiro uma boa soneca assim há muito tempo~!
B3) ...fale mais baixo, por favor...
B4) porque tem de ser eu...?
B5) hey, o que é esse quarto aqui?!
B6) ah... você não pode entrar nesse quarto...!

pag 20:
B1) quem é esse? um hospede?
B2) porque você esta na cama ao meio dia?... você dormiu demais ou alguma coisa do tipo?
B3) eh... quem é você?
B4) eu sou luca! eu vou ficar aqui po um tem...

pag 21:
B1) você não tem permissão para entrar naquele quarto.
B2) você poderia ter me dito gentilmente. isso doeu.
B3) isso é porque você entrou lá de repente...
B4) meu irmão, yl, está muito mal...
B5) há 2 anos atras...
B6) nossa vila era bem feliz.
B7) o som das pessoas temperando o aço constantemente preenchia o ar.
B8) ...mas...
B9) nó...nós temos um problema!

pag 22:
B1) ...esses não são os sintomas de envenenamento por gás?!
B2) imposivel...! mas nunca tivemos gás de envenenado na mina tepo antes...
B3) tem mais alguém lá dentro?
B4) acho que tem mais 2. tem o ward, o cara novo, e shella...
B5) ward! você está bem?!
B6) al...alguém ajude estas crianças...
B7) hey, aguente firme!

pag 23:
B1) me desculpe por dizer isso, mas.../ esse veneno é muito forte. o hospital dessa vila não será capaz de curar ele
completamente
B2) não-não pode ser, doutor!
B3) o caso deles não é tão severo quanto os outros, mas.../ tenho quase certeza que ele terá que tomar remédio todos os
dias.
B4) o tunel de tepo, que era a linha vital de nossa vila, foi bloqueada por regularização da/ associação dos metallistas
B5) nossa vila vem sofrendo mais e mais deste então.
B6) ...mas...

pag 24:
B1) eu já decidi que vou protejer a todo custo.
B2) se você uma vez deixar algo escapas sobre se tornar um minea, e aumentar as esperanças dele, fazendo-o ficar ansioso
depois piorando sua saúde.../ eu nunca vou te perdoar!
B3) is-isso é sério...?!
B4) tão triste...
B5) vo-vocês realmente passaram por muita coisa. "sniff"
B6) eu...eu eu acabei de te dizer para não entrar aqui...!
B7) ah, é! eu vou lhe uma coisa boa então./ melhor se manter aquecido né?

pag 25:
B1)... isso não é...?!
B2) isso não é cylostin? de onde você conseguiuisso...?
B3) oh, você sabe sobre isso?
B4) sim, mas só em livros.
B5) livros, huh...?
B6) ... wow, quantos livros! você é um tipo de estudioso?!
B7) haha... eu tenho tempo livre, então...
B8) e eu estou lendo esse livro "história de metalurgia... o caminho para se tornar um minea" agora...
B9) wow...! isso parece realmente confuso de se ler...
B10) bem... apesar de minha condição...
pag 26:
B1) na verdade eu quero fazer metalurgia como todo mundo.
B2) eu quero para ajudar a minha irmã!/ se eu puder me curar disso... então, eu...
B3) mas eu acho que isso nunca vai acontecer. eu sou um idiota...
B4) ...yl.
B5) parece que eu estou atrapalhando vocês.
B6) ah, espere, luca-san.
B7) você pode chamar isso de um favor para mim... mas por favor pegue... em prova de nossa amizade.
B8) isso é... o primeiro minério que eu escavei.
B9) wow, está todo enferrujado! mas tudo bem pra você?! isso não é importante para você?
B10) tudo bem!

pag 27:
B1) deixe eu te contar uma coisa.
B2) eu ainda... não confio em você.
B3) ... você não precisa me seguir.
B4) me disseram para ficar de olho em você!
B5) ... você realmente está indo procurar por metais?!
B6) claro.
B7) eu quero surpreender aquele velhote!
B8) você não precisa ficar de olho em mim. eu não vou fugir.
B9) não, não, não.

pag 28:
B1) o que eu tenho que ficar de olho é o quao incompreensivel você é para mim.
B2) você caiu do céu, e mesmo assim não morreu, e quer se tornar um minea, mas não tem nenhum equipamento.../ eu apenas
não entendo o que você...
B3) hey... para onde você foi agora?! eu ainda não tinha terminado minha sentença
B4) esse é um pedaço de cylostin que eu peguei na montanha, mas está esmagado.
B5) viu? eu peguei um pedaço dele./ deve haver mais pedaçoes dele por aqui.
B6) eh?! esse metal pode ser encontrado tão per...

pag 29:
B1) I-...isso não é bom! essa area...
B2) é o tunel tepo, que foi abandonada a 2 anos atrás por causa do gás venenoso.../ esse é um lugar perigoso que todos
evitam!
B3) esse é o lugar que você tinha falado? ele não parece tão perigoso assim para mim...
B4) você viu o que aconteceu com o yl! é perigoso, então vamos para outro lugar
B5) bom, então eu vou dar uma olhada por ai um pouco.
B6) espere.../ o que você está...

pag 30:
B1) wahh!!
B2) ... ele...
B3) ele voou?!?
B4) é melhor você voltar primeiro~!
B5) im-impossivel... como ele...?
B6) isso é... um pedaço de cylostim...?

pag 31:
B1) ...quem está ai?!
B2) ... deve ser só minha imaginação. não tem pessoas num lugar tão perigo....
B3) hmmm... acho que aquele pedaço era o unico pedaço que tinha por aqui.
B4) ... parece que ela realmente voltou. talvez eu deva ir procurar lá dentro então.

pag 32:
B1) on...onde eu estou?
B2) o que iremos fazer com essa garota?
B3) se dermos um jeito nela, as pessoas saberão sobre este lugar.
B4) quieto. pressa não faz bem a ninguém, faz?

pag 33:
B1) olhe, ela ja acordou.
B2) olá! já faz um tempo que não nos vemos, shella.
B3) eh... não pode ser... é você...
B4) ward-san?!
B5) mas eu pensei que você estava de cama como o yl, nos ultimos 2 anos...
B6) bom, como você pode ver, eu sempre estive bem.
B7) apesar de que o problema aqui são vocês
B8) são um saco.

pag 34:
B1) eu apenas conseguir usar essa secreta e abandonada mina tepo,
B2) e agora, você vem aqui para bisbilhotar.
B3) ...! estamos dentro da mina tepo?!
B4) mas o que aconteceu com o gás...?!
B5) antes que se preocupe com isso...
B6) você deve mostrar preocupação com sua própria vida, shella
B7) veja quantas armas nós temos! legal, não é?
B8) não poderiamos fazer tudo isso, se realmente tivesse gás venenoso aqui...

pag 35:
B1) ...oque... o que você quer dizer? o que foi que você fez...
B2) esta tesoura assassina...
B3) é minha favorita!
B4) somos artesões de armas, negociando no sub-solo.
B5) este lugar é maravilhoso, com materiais impressionantes!/ fica lonfe das pessoas, e posso fazer muito dinheiro
com isso
B6) artesões de armas no sub-solo?/ ma...mas e se... a associação descobrir sobre isso...
B7) seria um problema, claro
B8) por isso eu tenho que cuidar de minhas preocupações silenciosamente.
B9) na... não... fique longe.
B10) onde está o outro pirralho, shella?

pag 36:
B1) eu preciso matar os dois...
B2) o que foi esse som...?
B3) o que...
B4) o que está acontecendo?

pag 37:
B1) heh, este lugar está cheio de murdane, um bem comum...
B2) não há gás venenoso por aqui. nem nesta mina.
B3) oh? o que você está fazendo aqui?
B4) ...lu...luca-san? como você...?!
B5) ...entendo. então você é o outro que estava bisbilhotando por ai...
B6) você correu em direção a sua morte...

pag 38:
B1) criança estupida!
B2) o que você está fazendo assim do nada?!
B3) sim...
B4) me desculpe por começar tão depressa...
B5) seria um grande problema se não matassemos vocês dois!/ cuidem deles!
B6) certo!!!

pag 39:
B1) hey... isso virou uma bagunça...
B2) luca-san, olhe, cuidado!
B3) sério?!?
B4) na... não me culpe por isso...

pag 40:
B1) o... ele explodiu todos eles?!?!
B2) o que foi que esse cara acabou de fazer...?!
B3) uma explosão...?!
B4) se pensar nisso. antes...

pag 41:
B1) iss... isso é aquele metal...
B2) impossivel!
B3) isso não o fragorium, o metal-raro de classe a?!
B4) o que? o impacto de agora o arranhou. merda.
Q1) raridade fragorium: a--
B5) a luz violeta, e a habilidade de criar uma explosão depois de ser atingido por um metal... não há duvida...
B6) porque um pirralho como você tem isso?
B7) agora eu entendi! luca-san fez as coiss em sua violta explodirem.
B8) usando aquele metal raro... eh?! metal raro?!
B9) porque? isso não é óbvio?

pag 42:
B1) porque eu sou o homem que se tornará um minea!
FFB1) isso não parece ser uma mentira, ou o blefe
FFB2) luca-san quem exatamente é você...
B2) ... eu não sei o que tipo de sorte deve ter caido sobre você, para conseguir pegar esse metal, mas...
B3) não fique tão metido assim, garoto!!

pag 43:
B1) mine minha bunda! ser atrapalhado por um tolo como você me deixa louco!
B2) me tornei parte da vila, planejei cuidadosamente e até usei gás veneno para obter este lugar/ agora que viu isso,
não voltará mais vivo!!
B3) morra!!!
B4) u...usou gás venenoso?... quer dizer que foi você?!
B5) ... você ainda não entendeu shella?
B6) eu mesmo soltei aquilo,
B7) sacrificando yl e os outros moradores da vila há dois anos atrás.
B8) vo...você que soltou aquilo?!
B9) bem, agora é muito tarde para perceber isso.
B10) de qualquer jeito...

pag 44:
B1) você irá para a outra vida.
B2) esses dois são tão lentos...
Q1) a origem de minea

pag 45:
Q1) começou com uma só tribo...
B1) oque...o que?! ele dobrou minha tesoura assassina...
B2) então foi você que aquilo tudo ao yl...?!
Q2) essa tribo possui uma abrilidade especial conhecida como "mallet hand"
Q3) dizem que aquela consegue

pag 46:
Q1) transformar qualquer metal que tocar de acordo com sua vontade...

pag 47:
B1) o...oque é isso? o que está acontecendo?
B2) esse cara...
B3) in...incrivel...
B4) aquivai o troco!
B5) mas isso é um aço foi forjado de novo e de novo, não é barro!!
B6) não tem como mudar de forma tão facilmente...
B7) você está bem, shella?!

pag 48:
B1) nunca vou te perdoar.
B2) o que é esse metal sujo? outro metal raro?!
B3) isso é um minério de ferro... o primeiro e único que está com as memórias do yl.
B4) eu vou transformar essas memórias... e mostrar para você
Q1) essa única tribo que dizem não existir mais:/ seu nome é...
B5) e...eu não consigo tirar...
B6) ele transformou um metal de acordo com sua vontade...?! isso significa, que ele é daquela unica e lendário tribo
de artesão de metal...
B7) se eu me lembro bem...

pag 49:
FFB1) a tribo metallica?!
B1) impossivel...
B2) mas isso é apenas uma lenda...
B3) isso é
B4) a ferrammente que o artesão de metal, yl queria se tornar, "kanatzuchi"...
B5) e também...

pag 50:
B1) o poder do fragorium!!/ tome isso...
B2) fique.../ fique longeeeeeeeeee!
B3) espere...
B4) memória da ferrugem!!

pag 51:
B1) você está indo?
B2) bom, sim! me tornar um mine!
B3) mas, assim que eu chegar na cidade, eu vou ter certeza de enviar o remédio.
B4) o-obrigado, mas você tem certeza de que tem esse remédio?!
B5) vai dar tudo certo!... certo, shella?!
B6) sim!

Pg. 52
B1) mesmo Ward, que também inalou aquele gás, pôde se se recuperar ...
B2) eu tenho certeza que há um medicamento específico para ele. / Vamos acreditar em Luca-San e esperar juntos!
B3) ...certo!
B4) mas eu não posso acreditar que ele realmente nos ajudou.
B5) embora, tudo o que ele fez foi restaurar a nossa mina tepo!
B6) não é o suficiente? O resultado ainda é favorável.
B7) agente se vê, pessoal!
B8) o caminho para tornar um Minea é extremamente difícil. não morra ao longo do caminho.
B9) heh, como se eu fosse morrer.
B10) eu tenho o meu objetivo ... para cumprir a promessa que fiz com meu pai.
B11) eu me tornarei um Minea com certeza!
B12) luca-san!

Pg. 53
B1) obrigada por tudo! Venha nos visitar novamente!
B2) Ok! espero que você fique bem também, Shella.
B3) se o poder de Luca-san ...
B4) realmente é o poder dos lendários metallica ...
B5) então eu não tenho nenhuma dúvida que ele vai se tornar um grande Minea e reivindicar o título de herói ...!!
B6) eu tenho esse sentimento estranho ...

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 3 "Aim for the City"
Pg. 1
** This thing's fast! Hehe, my saddlebird (!?) ain't half-bad, either!! **

Pg. 2
** Luca and Shino, together on the path to Metal City...!! **

Shino - BLEEEEEH~~

Aaah, I can't walk anymore! I'm taking a break!!

Luca - Again? You just took a break a while back, though.
Shino - ...I've already walked for days, OK!?
I was brought up to do things gracefully, unlike you.

Luca - I'd call it a "Great Boody", rather than graceful.
Shino - SHUT IT! And don't even try to use puns with me!
== "FAILED" pun...full emphasis on "failed"

Pg. 3
Luca - As I thought, you're no fun...Are we there yet?
Shino - Hmph.

As if you'd ever get to Metal City without me!
The forest leading to the ridge is like a maze.
You should save some of your energy...

Luca - The view up here isn't that good either...
Shino – What are you, a bug!? Ignoring me, huh!?
Whoops, I just said a pun myself...
== Can't think up any good pun, really...(I'd try, but it doesn't really make that much sense in English, I think...with "doesn't bug to listen" instead of ignore, but...yeah, not working... ._.") "Mushi" for both bug and ignoring...please put that as a t/l note...>_<"

Talking to him is such a waste of energy.

Luca - Hm? What's that?

Pg. 4
Man - Hoho, you traveled here from Mt. Welte...?
That must be quite tough for you.

It's dangerous for a woman and kid to travel by themselves nowadays.
Luca - Lucky us.
Shino - Aha, you've really helped us out.
Man - Don't mention it! I'm on my way back to Metal City as well, so it's no problem.

Luca - Old man, is that a Shuval Bird?
Man - It's big, isn't it? Wanna try steering it, boy?

Luca - Oh!! Wow!
Shino - Mister, I think you'd better not...

Pg. 5
WAH!!?

I KNEW IT~~
Luca – Wahaha!
Man - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
Shino – STOOOOOP!!

Honestly, you just can't seem to learn how to properly handle things!

Pg. 6
Luca - I'm happy that we can get there faster now, though.

Shino - What? Why are you in such a hurry?
Luca - Hehe.

I made a promise with my dad,
that I'll quickly become a Minea and search for awesome, rare metals with him...

Shino - Oooh...so that's why you want to become a Minea...

...You do sound like a normal kid too, sometimes.
Hm? Wait!?...Does that mean...

Pg. 7
Your father's a Minea!? That's awesome!!
Luca - Right!?

I have no idea where he is, though. Hahaha.
Shino - You...don't seem to be joking either...Wo~w.

Then your father also has the same power as...
Hm?

Luca - ...It stopped. Where is we? An open field?
Shino - Eh? Mister, are you taking a break?

Man - ...No...

Pg. 8
We're here.

Luca - What's all this about?
Shino - ...Who're these people...?

Man – I told ya, didn't I? It's dangerous for a woman and child to be alone.

Pg. 9
Ya really doomed yerself by callin' for the head of the bandits.
All yer belongings are ours now.

Shino - Oh~...so you're a bandit...are you?

Bandit - Geheeheehee.
Check out this girl. She ain't half bad, is she!?

Entertain me a bit, will ya? Hyahaha.
Shino - Ngh...
Bandit - Hey, get down!

We can't do anythin' with ya other than sell ya off. [Guhaha.]

Luca - Hey, is this place close to Metal City?
Bandit - Huh?

Pg. 10
Ya don't even pay attention to the danger around ya, eh? Can't ya tell we tricked ya!?
Ya ain't goin' to Metal City. Yer off to the slave hut in the human trade city!

Ya can see this knife, can'tcha, little one? [kukuku.]

GWAH.

Shino - Don't you dare touch my body light-heartedly!
Dumbass!

Bandit - Y...Ya bitch!

Pg. 11
Shino - Let's run now, Luca-kun.

Bandit - Huh...!? Smokescreen!?
That bitch dare fool around in our land...!!

Bandit Head - ...Hmph, you little.

Pg. 12
RWAAAH.

Shino - Huh!?

The...The smoke...!?

Bandit Head - Found ya.

Pg. 13
Die!!

Shino - Kyaa!

Ugh.

Ngh...

Bandit Head - Ya wouldn't get injured if ya'd stay still.
Bandit - Nothin' can escape Boss's chain!!

Pg. 14
The chain is specially made from Fastenum Steel. It'll tighten from your body temperature!
It might be just the outside, but ya ain't pullin' it off so easily! Now, feel as it gradually digs into yer soft skin!
-- Fastenum Steel Rarity: E / An uncommon metal which diminishes when exposed to even the slightest heat. Relatively cheap. --

Shino – Ug...h.

Bandit Head - Now, if ya wanna get out, do as I say.

Shino - Oww, that was terrible!
Bandit - It...It came...off!?

Pg. 15
Bandit - Hey, what's with that guy...?
He's stretchin' the chain as if it's taffy...

Bandit Head - ...What's going on...!? My specially made item...

Luca - If you don't lay off,
I'm gonna get mad.

Bandit Head - Ngh...I'll sell him off at a high price!! Get'im!!
Bandit - Roger!

Shino – Eek!
Luca - I'm going to Metal City...

Don't you...

Pg. 16-17
get in my way!!!

GWARGH.

Bandit Head - He...He...He turned my chain...

Into a long staff!?

Pg. 18
Luca - You're the last one, old man.

Bandit Head - Kuh...

That...That guy's a monster...!
Shino - Ah, he ran away!

Luca - ...Phew.
Shino - Geez, that was just plain horrible...

Bandit Head - Hah, hah, just what happened to me...
What in the heck is that kid...?

Pg. 19
UWAH!!

??? - I was wondering if some monkey wouldn't leap out. It's a human, huh...?
Hm?

You look like the wanted boss of the bandits in this area.
Though that guy's bounty is worth next to nothing.
Bandit Head - Ngh...

Outta da way!!

Pg. 20
??? - You really are that bounty head then...?
Sorry...

but I have no intention of moving!!
Bandit Head - GWAAH.

Pg. 21
??? - Consider yourself unfortunate...
to run into a Minea.

Shino - Fi...Finally made it to the ridge...! It's not far now...You can actually see the city from here.
Luca - Oh, really!?

...Wow!

Pg. 22-23
Luca - So that's Metal City...!!
** The giant capital is spread out below them!! This is the center of the world!! **

I'm finally here!!

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 2 "A Chance Meeting with a Big Butt"
Pg. 1
Dash through the infinite sky
with your giant dream!!

Pg. 2
** Three people spotted atop the misty mountain...!? **
-- Mt.Welt, the misty hill --

Man - ...It's almost time, right?
Shino - Yeah...Now's our chance while the parents are away.

Man – But, are you seriously going?
Shino - Of course! Isn't that why we've been waiting for it to hatch all this time?

We're lucky to be able to monopolize information on the Neblaos.
Our target's the eggshell!!

Man - But...it's too risky! We'd best stop...
Bird - SQWARK.

Pg. 3
Man – Hey...are those the thing's parents!?
Bird - SQWARK.
SQWARK.
Man - They've already noticed us!?

Th...The neblaos is sensitive to smell and sound, as well! If they found us, we'd be...
Heeek!
Shino - Wait!

...That's a six-winged bird...
Bird - SQWARK.
Shino - But we'd be in trouble if it's that loud...
Maybe it just caught some prey.
Bird - SQWARK.

Shino – Th...There's no way we can get it! I'm heading back.
I'm outta here.
Shino - Wa-Wait, you two're my bodyguards, aren't ya!?

Gosh...
Bird - SQWARK.
SQWARK.

What kind of men run and leave a beautiful woman behind!?

Pg. 4
I'm not letting...this chance go to waste!

Sorry, but...
Please quiet down and go to sleep for a while...

'Kay?

Pg. 5
Bird - SQW...

Shino - Alright, got it!

As expected from an anesthetic powerful enough to put even a dragon to sleep! Good thing I brought two of'em.

Hm...

It really is a person...Did it just snatch this guy up somewhere...?

Rest in peace...

Pg. 6
Luca - *yawn~~*

Huh...guess I fell asleep. Where am I, now?
Shino - Eh...
He...He's not dead...and what's more, he was just sleeping!?

Who exactly is this kid...?

No, this isn't the time for that!!

Pg. 7
It already started to hatch! I need to grab it fast.
Luca - Oh? The Neblaos's nest? Nice job finding it.

Shino - Wah!! Wha...What're you...?
Luca - Hm? Me?

I'm Luca! I'm on a journey to become a Minea.
Shino - Luca?
...Wait, I didn't even ask that!!

You're in the way, so stop following me!
Luca - Oh, come on. I wanna watch it when it hatches, too.
Shino - ...Just who are you, really...?

Luca - The egg!!
Shino - Shhh.

Luca - Oh...?

Pg. 8
Wow, it hatched!! Its butt's so big!
Shino - Watch out!

Luca - Eh? What's that?

Shino - Will you quiet down a bit?

There!

I did it!! The Neblaos's eggshell is all mine.

Luca - What're you gonna do with the eggshell?
Shino – Fufufu.

Pg. 9
This isn't just any normal eggshell.
It's trea~sure!

There's not much known on how the Neblaos's body works, but...
This eggshell is mostly made up of a rare metal with the characteristic of stretching indefinitely...Phylomium.
This is a lot easier than searching for ore veins, isn't it!?
-- Phylomium Rarity: C / If put in fire, it can stretch til it becomes as thin as soft hair. --

...Though I doubt you get anything I'm saying. I wonder if this'll rake in a couple mil. [Niheehee]
Luca - Phylomium!!

Shino - Oh, so you knew!? I totally didn't expect that, you still being a kid, and all.

Luca - Share some with me...wait, why're you eating it!?

Pg. 10
Whoa!!

What're you doing?
Shino - What're you gonna do if it calls for its parents!?
Also, the eggshell's nourishment for baby Neblaos!

You can only get it for a short...
Wha...

Luca – A parent?...Looks like it's right next to its nest, though. You can't see it in the mist?
Neblaos's child - Gweeh.
Gweeh.

Pg. 11
Neblaos - GREEAGAAAH!!!

Shino - GYAAAAH.

This is all your fault! Look what you just did!!

Luca - Hey, could you be a Minea?
Shino - Huh!? What're you saying now!?

Pg. 12
Kuh...Let's hope my remaining anesthetic hits the mark, then...!

GYAH.
Luca - UWAH.

Whoa, the Neblaos's hip stomp...!! That was really powerful.
Shino - Tch.

Pg. 13
Please...
Just go to sle...

ep!?

Why's its tail here...?
Eh!?

Luca - Heeh...?

Pg. 14
Another one...!!? Both parents're together now, eh?
Shino – They've got us cornered!!

Neblaos - GRRRR
GRAAH

Shino - Ne...Neblaos raise their children in pairs...!?
I never heard that before...

Luca - They seem pretty mad, too.
Shino - How can you be so calm?

Pg. 15
[Kuh...If I still had those guards, I could use them as a decoy to get away if worse came to worst...]
[But this kid won't...]

Neblaos - GROAAAAR
Luca - No good...

We...
We can't run away anymore...!!

I...I don't wanna die...
in a place like this!!

Pg. 16
Eh!?

Wah.

Wha...What'd you just...!?

Luca - You don't seem like a Minea, after all. [Hup.]
Why're you searching for rare metals, then?

Shino - Ah!
MY TREASURE! [How did you!?]

...Hmph.
I'm just a freelance treasure hunter.

Pg. 17
With this alluring body...
My keen mind collects all kinds of information.

I'm traveling the world over for any valuable treasure, not just metals!
My dream is to have a grand, celebrity-like mansion.
For that, I won't lose. Not even to the Minea!

...But...

What's with this shameful sight!?
I don't wanna die yet...! Wake up already!

Luca - ...Then...

Pg. 18
You can tell me the way to Metal City, can't you?
I have to go there.

Shino - ...Metal City?
Hmph! Even if you knew, how're you gonna get out of this...

Luca - With this!

Shino - [Wha...!?]
[He's stretching the Phylomium with his bare hands...!?]

What... What're you doing!? [My treasure...]

Pg. 19
Luca - I belong to the Metallica Tribe!
With these "Mallet Hands"...
I can transform any metal instantly!!

Shino - ...Me...Metallica Tribe!?
You...You mean the tribe in folklore passed on between metal artisans?
It isn't just some make believe story...?

Luca – See for yourself...
If this is make believe, or not.

Pg. 20
Shino - [A Phylomium...]
[Shell!?]

In...
Incredible...!!...How is this possible...

Hah.
But...But even a baby dragon can break through this shell, right!?
It'd be a piece of cake for them to break it...

Neblaos - GRAAAR.

Shino - No...
NOOOOOOO!

Pg. 21
Luca - You didn't know?
When phylomium is stretched real thin, it becomes harder than steel!
Shino - I...I know that. I just pretended like I didn't, you know!

Luca - Sorry for messin' around with your nest!
Neblaos - GRRR...

Shino – Eh...
Don't tell me...

Luca - They won't follow if we get outta their territory, right?
Shino - Wait...but that-

Pg. 22
It can't...
It can't...
IT CAN'T BEEEEE! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Pg. 23
Ugh...I feel horrible...
Luca - Are you okay?

Shino - You should've said you could do that earlier. [Ugh.]
Luca – It would've be too sudden for me to say that.

Shino - ...But, I just can't believe it. The Metallica Tribe...? [Hah.]
Luca - There, I changed it back. Now tell me the way to the city.

Shino - Fufu, I wonder if I should.

Luca - What the, no fair! Just tell me.
Shino - Wah! Let go of me, you stupid, pervert kid!

Pg. 24
Shino - Hmph, I'm going to Metal City, as well.
Luca - Heh!?

Shino - I need to go there to sell this.
Plus, there's lots of information about treasure there.

Luca – I don't wanna go with you, though. Women's legs are so slow...
Shino – Guess you don’t know what a girl's legs are like, huh?

This is special, alright?
You startin' to want to come with me more, now?

Luca - ? What's that? You gonna fart?
Shino - No!
Alright, you got it. We're goin' together!
[Tch, so he's just a brat, after all!]

[Anyhow, I can make use of his power!]
[Good. I’ll make a real fortune if I have him help me on my treasure hunt!]
Nihihi~

Pg. 25
I'm Shino.
Nice workin' with you, Luca.
Luca - Hmmm, can't help it, then.

Shino - Ah...this isn't good. If I can't prove this Phylomium is from the Neblaos' eggshell, its price'll go down. [Uuuh~]

Luca - It'll be fine!
You've got the same butt as that Neblaos!

Shino - Do that again and I'll kill you!
Luca - ...Sorry.

** A trustworthy, traveling buddy!? **

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 1 "Setting Off for the Rush!"
Cover - When boy and ore are together, the journey's on the move!
Dash to the glittering future!! With ambition and passion at full force.
New Serialization
Metallica Metalluca
Mizuno Teruaki

Pg. 1
**The first chapter of a new series!! **
Narration - Rare metals...
the scarce, valuable metals that contain special characteristics.

Some are harder than diamond.
Some are said to multiply their mass several thousand times under certain conditions...

People seek them out with no fear of the dangers involved.

As they initiate rapid growth of the economy, these metals become a crucial element of life.

And this is

** Ore; their radiance ensnares people, and their values bewilder people!! **

Pg. 2-3
A story where people and metals interweave.

** Ores and dreams shine within this palm!! **
** A brand new adventure has now begun!! **

Pg. 4
** Someone appears on a tall, rocky mountain... a boy!? What exactly is he doing...!? **

Luca - Found it!

Pg. 5
This is it...the semi-rare metal, Cylostim!

Hehe, I'm so lucky today!!
It's kinda warm...! Its quality is pretty good, as well!
-- Cylostim Rarity: E / A metal that maintains its temperature at 45 C in a normal environment. Relatively brittle.

Luca - Alright! Time to dig...
Bird - SQWARK!
Luca - What's that noise...?

Pg. 6
Bird - SQWARK!
Luca - Heeek, a six-winged bird!?

Oh, you built your nest next to this metal...!?
It's not like I'll mess with your nest, though...

Pg. 7
Whoa...!

Ah! My chunk of Cylostim...!!

Wait, wait, wait a sec~ Whoa~
Bird - SQWARK!

Luca - NWAAAAAAA...

Pg. 8
Shella - There.

Powan - Boiling water with Igni-steel, Shella?

Pg. 9
You should use the woods, if all possible...
Our village's metal stock is starting to run out.
Shella - I...I'm sorry, Powan-san.
-- Igni-steel Rarity: - / An everyday metal that reacts to water by heating it up until it boils. It's edible with various minerals.

But...I'm really sorry. I'm actually in hurry!
Powan - How's your brother doing? [Hmph.]
Shella - His condition isn't so good lately...
Powan - I see. You must be really busy.

Oh? What's that...?

Something's falling from the sky...

Pg. 10
Luca – SOMEONE!
STOP MEEEEEEE~~~

Pg. 11

Pg. 12
Phew, I finally stopped. That really hurts.
Shella - He...He isn't dead...!?

Powan - Wh-What's going on here?
The hut...

Our village's metal stock has totally depleted!!
Luca - Tahaha...s-sorry.

Powan - Everyone, come out! Get out here!!

Luca - Eh?
Wha...
Huh?

Pg. 13
Hey, can you untie me?
Powan - Like I would!!

Do you have any idea what you just did?

Our Elza Village currently lacks metals. We're already on the verge of being deserted.
Luca - Deserted?
Villager - We were trying to save up and find a new mine...
before you came flying in and destroyed everything. Should we boil you up?

Pg. 14
Powan - Who are you, exactly?
What were you doing up on the mountain?

Luca - I'm Luca!
I'm on a journey to Metal City to become a Minea.

Villager - ...BECOME a MINEA?

That's one funny joke! Hey, get the pot ready!
Does he even know what a Minea is?
Luca - Hey! I'm not kidding!

Elder - Fofofo, such a brave youngster. You'll become a Minea, you say?
Village - Elder!

Pg. 15
Elder - A Minea is equivalent to a hero!

Bypassing, with their own strength, woods where many monsters roam, mountains where magma erupts from, or even the deepest seabed where no light shines,
they seek rare metal even at the cost of their lives...that's what Mineas are!
Without them, the rare metal industry which drives the world's current economy would never come about.

Our village of Elza has given birth to many Mineas in the past...
It's obvious you'd be suspected for saying you'd "become" one so light-heartedly.

Luca - ...If I become a Minea...
I can go anywhere, no matter how dangerous, without limit and with no need for money.

Pg. 16
I just have to become a Minea and travel the globe!
Got a problem with that!?

Villagers - ...? There's more to the Minea than that, though!
Like regularly getting incredible amounts of life indemnity.
And they can have lots and lots of houses?
Not just houses. They said some even own islands.
And they can drink all they want.

Once you have the authority, even incredibly expensive metalwork would be...

Elder - ...His eyes...

don't seem to have any malice or avarice in them...

Umm...let's go with this, then.
Luca - Oww!

Pg. 17
We'll tell you a bit of the trouble in our village. If you'll find something for us...
we'll not only free you, but tell you the way to the city.
Should be easy for a would-be-Minea, though. Hmm, but maybe it's still too hard for you.

Villager - Whoa!

Luca - Deal. And don't let me see your happy face afterwards, gramps!

Villager - You're gonna trust this guy?
Elder - Though, he's still a child, in a manner of speaking. Shella! Shella!

Shella - Yes?

Elder - Sorry, but would you keep a close eye on him.
Shella - Eh?
M...Me?

Pg. 18
-- Lunagium Rarity: E / A semi-rare metal which reacts to high-pitched noise by temporarily emitting light. --

This storage room is our only empty room, so please bear with it...
Luca - Bear? Nah, haven't have a good snooze like this for some time now~!
Shella - ...Keep your voice down, please...

*sigh*...Why does it have to be me...?

Luca - Hey, what's this room here?
Shella - Ah...you can't go in that room...!

Pg. 19
Yl - Who's that? A guest?

Wah!?

Luca - Why're you in bed at noon?...You oversleep or something?
Yl - Eh...who're you?

Luca - I'm Luca! I'll be staying here for a bi...

Pg. 20
Shella - You're not allowed to go in that room.

Luca - You could just tell me nicely, you know. That hurts.
Shella - That's because you barged in there so suddenly...

My brother, Yl, is very ill...

About two years ago...
[Our village was still very lively.]
[The sound of people tempering steel would constantly fill the air.]

[...But...]
Village - We...We've got a problem!

Pg. 21
...Aren't these symptoms of gas poisoning!?
Impossible...! But we've never had poison gas in the Tepo Mine, before...

Anyone else inside?
There's two more, I think. There's Ward, the new guy, and Shella's...

Ward! You alright!?
Ward - *cough* *cough*
So...Someone help this kid...[*cough*]

Villager - Hey, get a hold of yourself!

Yl!!

Pg. 22
Doctor – I'm sorry to have to say this, but...
This poison is really strong. The facility at this village won't be enough to cure him completely.
Shella – Th...that can't be, doctor!

Doctor - Yl's and Ward's cases aren't as severe as others, though...
Just be sure he takes his medicine everyday.

Shella - [The Tepo Tunnel, which was the lifeline of our village, was shut down under the regulation of the Metallist Associates.]
[Our village has suffered more and more since then.]

...But.

Pg. 23
I've already decided I'll protect Yl at all costs.
If you ever blurt out stuff like becoming a Minea, getting his hopes up, making him worry, and ultimately worsen his health...
I'll never forgive you.

Luca - Yo-You guys really have been through a lot. [*sob*]
Shella - I...I just told you not to come in here...!!

Luca – Oh, yeah! I'll give you something good, then.
Better to keep yourself warm, isn't it?

Pg. 24
Yl - ...Isn't this...!

Isn't this Cylostim? Where'd you get this from...?
Luca - Oh, you knew about it?
Yl - Yes, but only in books, though. [*cough*]

Luca - Books, huh...?

...Whoa, so many books! Are you some kinda scholar!?
Yl - Haha...I'm too free, so...

And I'm reading this "History of Metalwork...The Path of Becoming a Minea" book right now...[*cough* *cough*]
Luca - Wow...!! That looks seriously confusing to read...

Yl – Well...in spite of my health...

Pg. 25
I actually want to make metalworks like everyone else.
I want to help my sister!
If I can heal from this...then, I...

...Though that'll never happen, I guess. Stupid me...
Shella - ...Yl.

Luca - Looks like I'm in your guys' way, then.
Yl - Ah! Wait, Luca-san.

You can call this a favor from me...but please take it...as proof of our friendship.
This is...the first ore I ever dug up.

Luca - Wow, it's all rusty! But you're OK with this? Isn't this important to you?
Yl - *cough* *cough*

Yup!

Pg. 26
Shella - Let me tell you one thing.

I still...don't trust you. [*hah* *hah*]
Luca - ...You don't have to follow me.

Shella - I was told to keep an eye on you!
Also...you seriously are going to go search for metals!?

Luca - Of course.

I'm gonna surprise that old chief! [Hup.]
You really don't have to keep a look out for me, though. I won't run away.
Shella - No, no, no.

Pg. 27
What I'm keeping my eye on is how you're still incomprehensible to me.
You fell from the sky, yet didn't die, aim to become a Minea, but doesn't even have a single piece of equipment...
I just don't get what you...

Hey...where're you now!? I didn't even finish my sentence!
Luca - Hmmm,

There was this big chunk of Cylostim further up the mountain, but it was smashed.
See? I just picked up a piece of it.
There might be others around, too.

Shella - Eh!? That metal can be found this clo...

Pg. 28
Th-...This isn't good! This area...
Is the Tepo Tunnel that was left abandoned two years ago because of the poison gas...
This is a dangerous place that everyone avoids!!

Luca - Is this the place you talked about? It doesn't look all that dangerous to me...
Shella – You saw what happened to Yl! This is dangerous, so let's go somewhere else.
Luca – Hmmmm.

Well, I'm gonna look around a bit, then.
Shella - Eh?
Wait...
What're you-

Pg. 29
Wah!!?

...He...

He flew!!?

Luca - You better head back first~!!

Shella - Im...Impossible...How'd he...

Is this...a piece of Cylostim...?

Pg. 30
...Who's there!?

...It has to be my imagination. There's no way there'd be people in this kind of dangero...

Huh?

Luca - Hmmm...guess that chunk really was the only chunk around, then?

...Looks like she really did head back. Maybe I should search inside, as well.

Pg. 31
Shella - Ugh...

Whe...Where am I?

??? - Seriously, whadda we do with that girl!?

If we don't take care of her, people will know about this place.
Ward - Pipe down. Rushing won't do any good, alright?

Pg. 32
There, she's awake.
Yo! Been a while since we last met, Shella.

Shella - Eh...Could...you be...
Ward-san!!?

No way...but I thought you were confined to your bed like Yl for the last two years...
Ward - Well, as you see, I'm fine as ever.

Though, the problem here is you guys.
Such a pain.

Pg. 33
I merely managed to secretly make use of this abandoned Tepo Mine,
and now, you come in, sniffin' around.

Shella - ...!! We're inside the Tepo Mine!?
But what about the gas...!?

Ward - ...Before you worry about that...

Maybe you should be worried about your own life, Shella.

Just look at all the weapons we have! Great, isn't it?
We wouldn't be able to make all these if there really was poison gas in here...

Pg. 34
Shella - ...Wha...What do you mean? How exactly did you...

Ward - This one's Killer Scissors...
my favorite!

We're currently weapon artisans dealing underground.
This place is just marvelous, with plenty of awesome, raw materials!
It's away from people, and I can make lots of money from it.

Shella - Underground weapon artisans!?
Bu...But if...the Associates found out about this...

Ward - It's a felony, of course.
That's why have to quietly take care of our concerns beforehand.

Shella – N...No...stay away.
Ward - Where's that other brat, Shella?

Pg. 35
I need to kill both of ya...

What's that sound...?

Wha...
What the heck happened!!?

Luca - Whoa.

Pg. 36
Heh, this place's just full of mundane, everyday metals...
There's no poison gas around, though. So much for this mine.

Hm?

Oh? What're you doing here?
Shella - ...Lu...Luca-san!? How'd you...!!?

Ward - ...I see. So you're the one sniffin' around...

You just rushed to your demise...

Pg. 37
Stupid kid!

Whoa!!

Luca - What're you doin', all of a sudden!?

Yes...
Sorry for being so sudden...

We'd be in deep trouble if we didn't kill you!
Take care of'em!!
People - ROGER!!!

Pg. 38
Luca - Whoa.

Hey...this is just way too messed up...
Shella - Luca-san, look out!!

Luca - [Seriously?]

Do...Don't blame me for this, though...

Pg. 39
People - GWAH!!

Ward - The...They were all blown away!?
What did that guy just do...!?

Shella - [An explosion...!!?]
[Come to think of it, back then...]

Pg. 40
Luca - Owww.

Ward - Is...Isn't that metal...
Impossible!

Isn't that Fragorium, the A-class rare metal!!?
Luca - What the? That impact just now scratched it. [Damn.]
-- Fragorium Rarity: A --

Ward - That violet luster and the ability to create a blast after being struck by metal...There's no mistake...!
Why would some brat like you have that!?

Shella - [Now I get it! Luca-san caused things around him to explode]
[by using that rare metal...eh!? Rare Metal!?

Luca - Why? Isn't that obvious!?

Pg. 41
Because I'm the man who'll become a Minea!

Shella - [That wasn't just a bluff or lie...!!]
[Luca-san, who exactly are you...]

Ward - ...I don't know what fortune must've befallen you for you to get a hold of that metal, but...

Don't go gettin' so full of yourself, kid!!!
Luca - Gwah!!

Pg. 42
Ward – Minea, my ass! Being hampered by a fool like you is drivin' me nuts!
I become a part of the village, carefully plan everything out, and even use poison gas all to obtain this place!
Now that you've seen this, you won't be goin' back alive!!

Die!!!
Luca - Ugh...ngh.

Shella - Us...Use poison gas?...You mean you dug that up!?

Ward - ...You still don't get it, Shella?

I released that myself,
sacrificing Yl and the villagers two years ago.

Shella - Y...You released that yourself!?
Ward - Well, It’s too late to realize that now, though...

Either way...

Pg. 43
You're goin' to the afterlife.

Yl - ...Those two are so slow...[*cough*]

[The origin of Minea]

Pg. 44
[It started from a single tribe...]

Ward - Wha...What!!? He bent my Killer Scissors...

Luca – So you're the cause of Yl's illness...!?
[That tribe possessed a special ability known as "Mallet Hand"]
[It's said that that hand can]

Pg. 45
[transform any metal it touches at will...]

Pg. 46
Ward - Wha...What's this? What's going on?
This guy...

Shella - In...Incredible...

Luca - Here's my payback!

Ward - UWOOO...

But this is steel that'd been forged again and again, not clay!!
There's no way it's gonna change shape so easily...

Luca - Are you OK, Shella?

Pg. 47
I'll never forgive you.

Ward - Huh...!?
What's that dirty metal...!! Another rare metal!?

Luca - This is iron ore...the one and only of its kind that's filled with Yl's memories.
I'm going to transform these memories...and show them to you.

[That one tribe that was said to no longer exist:]
[its name...]

Ward - I...I can't pull it off...
[He transformed metal at will...!? Does this mean, he's one of the ancient, legendary tribe of metal artisans...]

[if I remember right...]

Pg. 48
[the Metallica Tribe!!?]

Impossible...
But that's only folklore...

Luca - This is
the tool of the metal artisan Yl wants to become, "Kanatzuchi"...
== Golden Hammer

Plus with...
Ward - [Eh!?]

Pg. 49-50
Fragorium's power!!
Take this...
Ward - Wait...

Stay...
STAY AWAAAAAAAAY!

Luca - Memories of rust!!
Ward - NGH...

Pg. 51
Yl - You're leaving?

Luca - Well, yeah! To become a Minea!
Once I reach the city, I'll be sure to send the medicine, though.

Yl - Th...Thank you, but are you sure there's medicine? [*cough*]
Luca - It'll be fine!...Right, Shella?
Shella - Yeah.

Pg. 52
Shella - Even Ward, who also took in that gas, can recover from it...
I'm sure there's a specific medicine for it.

Let's believe in Luca-san and wait together!
Yl - ...Alright!

People - But I can't believe he'd really help us.
All he did was restore our Tepo Mine, though!
Isn't that good enough? The result's still favorable.

Luca - See ya, everyone!
Elder - The path of becoming a Minea is extremely rough. Don't die along the way.

Luca - Heh, as if I'd die.

I have my goal...To fulfill the promise I made with my father.
I'll become a Minea for sure!

Shella - Luca-san!

Pg. 53
Thank you very much! Do come visit us again!!

Luca - Got it! Hope you do well too, Shella.

Shella - [If Luca-san's power...]
[really is the power of the legendary Metallica...]

[then I have no doubt he'll become a great Minea and claim the title of hero...!!]
[I have that strange feeling...]

Metallica Metalluca
Chapter 1 / End
Next chapter, Someone appears before Luca as he travels to the sky, who is it!? A 25 page chapter with a color opening!

Pg. 54
[or rather...]

Luca-san!
Luca - Hm? You need somethin' else?

Shella - No! Above you!
Luca - Heh?

Eh?

[… I think I caught a glimpse of it...just maybe!?]
Elder - Oh, the giant bird just snatched him up.
** Now! A grand adventure has begun...!? **
Shella - Lu...Luca-san.
