p1:
Mako-sempai….. / You must treat well those in the real world whom you treasure.

(not-bubbles): Why…. / Why, whenever I think of her…
(bubbles): Hah / Hah / Hah

p2:
Does my chest feel so tight?

p3:
Title: Chapter 8: The Culture Festival is Here! (1)
[inset]: Is this a premonition of a new love bursting out of the strongest girls at school?!

p4:
Kyouya: Wow! / That stage looks amazing! / The scale is completely different from that of a normal school—Life Schools really are something else!

Yuuma: The Student Council will be sponsoring an event up on that stage on the final day of the culture festival.
Kyouya: Really? What’s it gonna be?

Hey, you there! Step aside, step aside!
Kyouya: …?

p5:
Kyouya: What?!

Kyouya: An—an Angel?
Yuuma: You see a lot of them during setup. People are so busy, they’ll take whatever help they can get.

Kyouya: But still, an Angel? Is that even allowed?
Yuuma: As long as they’re not breaking school rules, people are allowed to use their Life however they want.

Yuuma: During the culture and sports festivals, there are lots of large-scale club events where one can earn vast amounts of Life. / So you can think of it as a down payment on that.
Kyouya: Huh, so that’s how it works. That makes sense…

p6:
….

Nanase Kyou… / You’re on my mind…

(aside): Ah!
Yuuma: Come to think of it…

Yuuma: Do you know what the First Student Council’s doing?
Kyouya: Hm?

p7:
Takabayashi: My First Student Council event this year shall be… / “Overthrow the Student Council”!

Takabayashi: Understand? Just like last year, this year we shall steal all the Life earned by the detestable Student Council!!
Tsurumi: The season of earnings has arrived.
Sumomo: Let’s do our best!
Yuuna: I shall begin preparations on food.
Kyouya: ……

p8:
Kyouya: Wait! Are you planning something sinister again?!
Tsurumi: …..
Kyouya: This is our precious culture festival! We should use this time to make memories!

Takabayashi: What memory could be more precious than that of giving them a blow?!
Tsurumi: All of our actions will be perfectly legal, so I foresee no problems.
Sumomo: No matter what we do, we’ll form great memories so long as we do it together!

Takabayashi: So first things first: we need to gather information on what the Student Council will be bringing out. / Nanase, you’ll be in charge of that.
Kyouya: Huh? Me?!

Kyouya: You’re not telling me to steal information from Yuuma-nee-san, are you?
Takabayashi: Bingo! You shall be my club’s prestigious spy.

p9:
Kyouya: I refuse! I could never do such a thing!!
Tsurumi: Really…

Tsurumi: Have you perhaps forgotten your own position?
Kyouya <aside>: W—well…

….

Takabayashi: With that attitude, it’s clear things won’t turn out the way I want. / And furthermore, if we use Nanase, there exists substantial risk of information regarding our own plans being passed to the enemy.
Sumomo: ?

Takabayashi: Heh heh heh.
Tsurumi: <aside> A new strategy?
Kyouya: …?
Takabayashi: So then, I have thought up a new strategy!!

p10:
Yuuma: What is this…! / What’s going on here?!
Kyouya <aside>: I’m home, Nee-san…
Yuuna <aside>: Sorry to intrude…

p11:
Takabayashi: Why would you give me that look? We have simply come to enjoy ourselves at the home of one of our beloved club members. / So…

Takabayashi: We’ll be staying the night.
Yuuma: WHAT?!

Yuuma: You’re staying here tonight?! How dare you decide that on your own!
Tsurumi: And if I said we received permission from Nanase Kyouya?

Takabayashi: And I don’t believe you have a particularly strong position to argue from yourself. / <aside: Right? >
Kyouya: <aside: I’m sorry… It’s all my fault… >
Yuuma: ……..

p12:
Takabayashi: Do you consider it good manners to turn away guests at the door?

Takabayashi: And let us not forget I am Kyouya’s owner, / Igarashi Yuuma.

Yuuma: W—Well, I am your sempai!! If you insist on others being polite to you, then first you should be polite to others!
Kyouya <aside: Please don’t fight… >
Takabayashi: Oh, so you want to be called “Sempai”? Well, that’s quite a simple thing to take care of.

Takabayashi: Go on, call her “Sempai.” / Look, Igarashi, look.
Yuuna: Sem—Sempai…

Takabayashi: So you’re good now, right? / <aside: Satisfied? >
Yuuma: Can’t you say it yourself?!!

p13:
Kyouya: So you see, it’s all because of my incompetence…

Kyouya: So please… It’ll just be for today… / Couldn’t you please help me?
Yuuma: ……

Yuuma: Dammit… We have no choice, right? They have a hold on our weakness, after all.
Kyouya: Nee-san… / <aside: Thank you. >

p14:
Kyouya: Um, well, Yuuma-onee-sama? What are you doing with that needle? / <aside: Don’t tell me… >
Yuuma: If they push the limits of my patience, I might have no choice but to use it… / <aside: So please, don’t stop me… >

Food’s not ready yet?!

Takabayashi: Can’t you bring out dinner for your guests?! / I thought such things were common sense, even in a commoner household!
Kyouya’s aside: Hello?
Takabayashi’s aside: Food! Food!

p15:
Yuuma: And now I’m at my limit already. / <aside: I’ve got to stay patient…
Kyouya: …. / So that’s why you grabbed it?

Yuuma: You know what they say: in for a penny, in for a pound.
Kyouya: ?

SFX: Tada!

Yuuma: Here you go! Everyone, eat up!
Tsurumi: it looks delicious..
Sumomo: Whoa!
Yuuma: It’s been a long time since I’ve gone all-out like this.

p16:
Kyouya: Yuuma-nee-san’s can cook like a pro! I can vouch for that!!
Yuuma: Quit it! I’m not that good!
Tsurumi: Hmm… I suppose…
Takabayashi: It certainly looks quite good

Yuuma: I’m baking a cake for desert, so go ahead and start eating without me.
Yuuna: Wow, you’re even making a cake by yourself?
Sumomo: <aside>: OK!

Yuuna: But making a cake is so hard… / I’m so jealous of your cooking ability, Sempai.
Kyouya <aside>: Smile

Various; Guys really like girls who know how to cook, huh. / But aren’t you a good cook too, Yuuna? / No, no; I’m nowhere near Igarashi-sempai’s level.
SFX: Chomp chomp

p17:
Takabayashi: A cake, huh? That sounds good.
Tsurumi: ?

Takabayashi: It’s been a while since I last tried to make one. So, Tsurumin, do you want to show off your skills alongside me?

Tsurumi: I’m sorry? What did you just say?!
Sumomo’s aside: Chomp
Yuuna: ?
Takabayashi: You didn’t hear me? I said it’s been a while, so I should show off my skills…

Takabayashi: And make my deluxe-style cake for everyone to eat!!
Tsurumi: ……

p18:
Takabayashi: You there, Igarashi Yuuma!! / That’s quite enough!
Yuuma <aside>: Huh?

Takabayashi: It’s my turn from here on in! / You may eat dinner over there while you wait! / I shall personally bless you commoners / with something of my own!
Kyouya: Wow, I didn’t see this coming… So she can cook, then?
Sumomo: She looks like she’s having so much fun…
Tsurumi: I doubt it…

p19:
Yuuma: If you put in that much baking powder…
Takabayashi: I’m the type of person who likes things big!

Yuuma: Uh, that’s salt…
Takabayashi: You don’t get it, do you?! This is to bring out the flavor!!

Yuuma: What?! You’re stirring it before adding in the eggs?
Takabayashi: GO EAT YOUR DINNER!! / <aside: Get out of here!! >

SFX: Tada!
Takabayashi: Here you go! It’s ready to eat! / This my secret recipe for Takabayashi-style vanilla shortcake!!

p20:
Takabayashi: Go on, go on! No need to hold back; go ahead and eat! Why are you holding back? Hurry up, hurry up! / I’m sure its taste will be absolutely divine!
Kyouya <aside>: Where does she get her confidence?

Takabayashi: What’s wrong? Why won’t anyone eat it?! / I said there’s no need to hold back!
Yuuna: Ummm, I filled up on dinner, so…
Sumomo: Well, I have to save room for the next cake yet to come out, so…
Tsurumi: I do not like sweet goods. / <aside: This is one of those. >

Takabayashi: I… see…

Kyouya: …….

Yuuma: Exactly what part of this is a cake? I mean, half of cooking is making sure things look good…
Takabayashi: !

p21:
Takabayashi: What?! When it comes to food, taste is everything!!
Kyouya: But when it looks like this, it’s hard to expect much flavor-wise.
Yuuma: What? You’re going to eat it?

Takabayashi: You—you should eat it first! I’m sure you’ll be surprised. / <aside: You’ll probably be surprised…
SFX: Chomp chomp

Kyouya <aside>: Huh?!

Kyouya: Wait, what?! It’s actually good?!
Takabayashi: Of course it isn’t! Your mouth is simply so cheap that it can’t understand the deep flavor that…!

Kyouya: I’m not lying, everyone! It’s really good! The President really does have some talent at cooking after all!
Takabayashi <aside>: Huh? It’s actually good? Really? / …….
Sumomo <aside>: Is it really?
Tsurumi: It can’t be….

p22:
Various: Wow! It’s really good—I’m not just being nice, it really is! / Is this… a miracle? / Isn’t it? It tastes the exact opposite of how it looks!

(outside text): Nanase… / Kyouya
Kyouya’s aside: She really made a proper desert.
Sumomo’s: Yum!
Tsurumi’s: I still can’t believe it…
Yuuna: The President’s really amazing.

Yuuma: Let me see.
Takabayashi: ….
SFX (left text): Nom

Yuuma: Oh, it just taste plain.

Takabayashi: Well sorry my cake tastes plain.
Yuuma: ?

Yuuma: Kyah!

p23:
Yuuma: Kyaaahhhh!
Kyouya: Uh—umm!

Takabayashi: How small of you, looking down on a desert someone else put her heart into, “Sempai.”

Takabayashi: Or wait—don’t tell me you were jealous?
Yuuma: ……..
Takabayashi: Oh, how deplorable. And over your cousin, too? Are you even human?

Yuuma: How dare you say that to me!

Takabayashi: Heh.

p24:
Takabayashi: You incestuous nerd!!

Yuuma: Who are you calling incestuous?! / And what’s wrong with being a nerd?!!

Yuuma: I can’t take this anymore! Don’t expect me to hold back just ‘cause you’re my junior!!
Tsurumi: I don’t know if we can call that a cake anymore.
Kyouya: ….. / <aside: Oh, argh! Everything’s just… >
Yuuna: We’ve barely even got to eat any of it…
Takabayashi: I’ll get you good, you whatever-sempai! I’ll kick you as hard as I can!!

p25:
Yuuma: Damn you… / <aside: My clothes and the floor were ruined… > / This is all your fault. What was wrong with you?
Takabayashi: That’s my line. / <aside: Hmph. >

p26:
Yuuma: I can see right through your little plot. / You planned on jolting me, then using that to figure out what the Student Council’s event would be, right?

Takabayashi: Not even close. / Megalomania can be such a troublesome thing. I wanted nothing more than to visit the home of one of my cute new club members.

Yuuma: Your cute new club member? Don’t you mean your hostage? / <aside: How shameless… >
Takabayashi: Again with your self-obsesssion.

Takabayashi: Nanase long ago gave her heart and soul to my club.
Yuuma: Oh, really? Then you can do as you wish.

p27:
Takabayashi: Really? Then I just might. / And haven’t you noticed? She took my side just then, not you, her cousin’s.

Takabayashi: Nanase no longer has room in her heart for her cousin or the Student Council… Keh keh keh.
Yuuma: …

Yuuma: But aren’t you worried yourself? / No matter how much you shackle him, Ryou-chan won’t turn to look at you…

p28:
Takabayashi: What are you saying? Even now, / he is completely captured by his love for me!
Yuuma: I think you’ve got something very wrong—Ryou-chan’s just nice to everyone!

Takabayashi: How dare you?! There’s no way he wouldn’t do whatever I ask!
Yuuma: No, he won’t. If I say the word, he’d leave you in a second!!

Takabayashi: Well then, / why don’t we find out?
Yuuma <aside>: Huh?!

p29:
Kyouya: What are you two doing with me?
Takabayashi: W—welcome, Nanase Kyouya!
Yuuma: What’s going through your head?!! / <aside: Are you crazy? >

Takabayashi: Well done. Tsurumin, Sumomo, you may step out.
Tsurumi: What, exactly, are you planning?

Takabayashi: Didn’t you hear me?! I asked you to leave!!
Tsurumi <aside>: Yes, ma’am.

p30:
Kyouya: What… / is going on here?

Takabayashi: Uh—umm… You’ve gotten quite used to this, haven’t you? / I’m—I’m glad I taught you this.

Kyouya: What are you talking about? Why would you suddenly ask me to wash you with soap? And this is the first time we’ve…
Takabayashi: Shh! Just be quiet and do as I say.

p31:
Takabayashi: Oh?

Takabayashi: Are you still there, little miss cousin? If you’re finished washing, could you please leave? / Unlike you, we two still have the main event waiting for us.
Yuuma: Uuuuuugh.

Kyouya: What are you talking about? You’re making absolutely no sense… This could lead to a misunderstanding…!!!
Takabayashi: <aside: You’re being too loud! > / Don’t talk! Don’t even think!

Yuuma: Ryou-chan!
Takabayashi: ?

p32:
Yuuma: I thought you promised me you would only help out in the bath at home… / But she must have forced you after grabbing hold of your weakness. How sad… / But you don’t have to wash that brute any more.
Takabayashi <aside>: What? You do this stuff all the time at home?
Kyouya: Wh—why does she look so murderous?

Kyouya: …..
Yuuma: So then, just like always, wash me however you want.

Takabayashi: <aside> If you stop, I’ll execute you. / If you neglect your attendance of me… I’ll kill you!
Kyouya: …..

p33:
Yuuma: <aside> Get away from him! / It’s my turn now! Isn’t that right, Kyou-chan?!
Kyouya: …
Takabayashi: <aside: Let him go!! > / We’re not done here yet! Do you have no manners?!

Yuuma: Hah. He’s been rubbing your arm for some time now. / How is that helping out in the bath?

Yuuma: Helping out in the bath means…

Yuuma: Calm—calmly washing even around here!
SFX: Squeeze
Kyouya’s aside: ….?!

p34:
Takabayashi: Wh—what are you doing? Have you no shame?!
Kyouya: ….??
Yuuma: Wh—why? This is just helping out in the bath, so why…?

Yuuma: So—so you were lying, then.

Yuuma: B—but of course you were. You’ve never / been this close with him before, not even once, right?!

Takabayashi: Sleeptalk in your sleep!

Takabayashi: I myself… / was just about to move on to the next course!!
Kyouya: …?!

p35:
Yuuma: I’m sure Ryou-chan doesn’t think anything of touching your drooping flesh!!
Takabayashi (far left): Silence! I have already made it so his body can respond to none but mine!!
Kyouya <aside>: Wh—what’s going on? / What is this? / Don’t tell me it’s your… / chest?

Takabayashi: And in particular,

Takabayashi: the useless body of his middle-aged cousin would seem like a rock to him!!

Kyouya <aside>: Nee… Nee-san?
Takabayashi <aside>: How was that? Did I get you? / You old hag! You’re getting on in years there!
Bubbles: ? / ?

Yuuma: Well then… Why don’t we find out…
Kyouya: ?

p36:
Yuuma: Exactly how / Ryou-chan responds to me!!

p37:
Yuuma: Th—there! Take a good, hard look!
Kyouya: Nee—Nee-san?!
Takabayashi: Ummm… / I lost, OK?
Yuuma: We’ll find out for sure / how, exactly, Kyou-chan will react!!

Yuuma: So then, Ryou-chan… / Tell me.
SFX: Hah / Hah / Hah

p38:
Yuuma: Tell her how / you’re used to my body, so it feels familiar...! Please…

Kyouya: Wh—what are you doing?!!!

Kyouya: ?!

p39:
Kyouya: Wahhh!! / Wah wah wah!!!

Yuuma: Ryou-chan!!

Gasp!

?

…?!

p40-41:
Takabayashi: Na… / nase…

Takabayashi: Kyou… ya?
Yuuma: I—I—I…
Kyouya: I—I really didn’t mean to…

p42:
Yuuma: ENOUGH!! / <aside: Get out!! >

Yuuma: Get out of my house, you wild beasts!!

Mako: …?!

Mako <aside>: Wh—what?!

p43:
Takabayashi: Ow… Owwww!!
Yuuna <aside>: That hurt…

Takabayashi: Keh keh keh… You poor fool… You got angry first, so you lose.
Tsurumi: How does it work like that, exactly?

Takabayashi: At any rate, we managed to embarrass Igarashi today, so that’s fine. Tomorrow’s when we’ll really start to get things on the right track.
Tsurumi: That’s fine, but… / <aside: Look down… >

Takabayashi: Down?

p44:
Yuuna: Ma—Mako-nee-chan?!

right sidebar: Mako-nee-chan… falls?!
Takabayashi: What’s with you?! Were you planning to ambush us?! / <aside: Looks like the tables have been turned! >
Mako <aside>: You’re wrong… Now let me go…

(note: due to various reasons, I'm not going to reserve this for any particular group; if you choose to use this, please credit me.)

p1:
Kyouya: Whoa! / It’s so hot today…

Yuuma: Really? You’ll go shopping? / The cream puffs over there are the best!
Box: Right before deadline
Kyouya: It can get a little tiring, running errands on days like this… / But I’ll do anything if it means helping Yuuma-nee-san!
Kyouya’s aside: Mm-hm.

Sign: Tsukemen

Kyouya: Wow, this is quite a line… / As popular as ever, I see.
SFX: *Glance*

p2:
Kyouya: PRESIDENT TAKABAYASHI?!
<aside: Why?! >
Inset: And won’t her long hair get in the soup?!
SAI: Taker
Chapter 7: A Date with the President?!
SFX: *Glancing around*

p3:
Aside: She doesn’t seem terribly comfortable in this situation…
Kyouya: Why would she be here…?
SFX: *Glancing around*

Kyouya: Ah!

Kyouya: What am I thinking? I need to run away, / before she notices I’m here…
SFX: *Creeping*

Takabayashi: Hey, I know that back! That’s you, Subordinate Number 4, isn’t it?!
Kyouya: Subordinate… Number 4… is it?
Takabayashi: It’s me! You should show some respect to your president!

Takabayashi: What a coincidence, meeting up like this outside of school! / Were you heading somewhere? Or are you shopping?

p4:
Kyouya: I’m shopping. But I don’t usually head to these stores, so…
Takabayashi: Really? Japan really is a small place.
Kyouya: No… It’s quite big… And this isn’t really a problem on a national level…

Kyouya: What about you, President? Why are you here?
Takabayashi <aside>: Hm? / …!

Takabayashi: I was going shopping with Tsurumin and Sumomo, but we got separated and my sense of adventure made me want to go wandering.
Kyouya: Is that so… / <aside: Then I suppose you’re not in trouble… >

Takabayashi: Ah, her phone
Kyouya’s SFX: *Surprised*
SFX: Brrrrrrrring

Takabayashi: Oh no. I accidently turned off the power.
Kyouya: Huh? Might that have been from Tsurumi-san?
SFX: *Baffled*

Takabayashi: It was definitely a wrong number.
Kyouya: But you didn’t even check.

p5:
Takabayashi: I said it was a WRONG. NUMBER.
SFX: Roar
Kyouya: Ah, yes, of course, it was just a wrong number…

Kyouya: Umm, President, is that a net coupon you have there? Did you print it out and bring it here yourself?

Takabayashi: …!!

Takabayashi: Of—Of course not, stupid! I was given it by the store owner, of course! / I—I would never stoop so low as to prepare a coupon for the eating of commoner food!!
Kyouya: You don’t have to go so far denying it… / <aside: It’s not really something worth getting angry about… >

p6:
Kyouya: Well, if you don’t need it, could I have it?

Kyouya: It’s right before lunchtime, and this place is really tasty.

SFX: *Stomach rumble*

Kyouya: Well, if it’s a big deal, then that’s fine. / <aside: I’ll just head off now… >
Takabayashi: <aside: Where are you going? > / That’s right. If you want to eat here that much, then I suppose I can sit with you, just this once.
SFX: *Grab*

p7:
Kyouya: No matter how you look at it, you clearly came here to eat…
Takabayashi: I thought I told you I didn’t!

Kyouya: So then… First, let’s get in line.
Takabayashi: In line?

Takabayashi: Why would we need to queue for food?
Kyouya: Isn’t it common sense? Can’t you see everyone else already lined up?

Kyouya: Don’t tell me / this is her first time?!
Takabayashi (aside text): Hmm, so that’s why… / That’s why they’re not letting everyone on the street in.

p8:
Kyouya: Umm, President, don’t tell me / you’ve never had to get in line for anything before?
SFX: *Flatly*
Takabayashi: You don’t have to ask something so obvious!

Kyouya: Then… what do you do when you go to see a movie? Or go to an amusement park?
Takabayashi: They’re all owned by my grandfather, so I get a free pass, of course. / <aside: And the theatre’s inside the mansion, too. >

Kyouya: Then what about when you travel overseas? / <aside: Like when you board a plane… >
Takabayashi: I travel on a private jet, of course. / <aside: If I’m heading somewhere close within the country, a helicopter is rather convenient. >

Takabayashi: By the way, the recent doujin event / was held at a building owned by my uncle, so I was able to enter easily.
Kyouya: <sfx: Dammit! > / This is why I hate rich people!!

Kyouya: Ah!

Kyouya: Which means that you really were waiting out here so you could eat today, / right?
Takabayashi: I said, you’re wrong… / You’re so annoying…

p9:
Waiter: A party of two? / Would you please head to the seats furthest in the back?
SFX: *Nervous glances*

Takabayashi: Oh—oh… This atmosphere is slightly different than the photos…
Kyouya: !
Chef: Welcome!

Kyouya: Pictures, huh? / So she really was planning to eat here…

Chef: One small and one large tsukemn! / Prepared nice and cold!

p10:
Kyouya: I can’t get enough of this stuff! I always have to get the large! / Here’s yours, President.

Takabayashi: … / <aside: Hmm >

Takabayashi: Why are the noodles and soup separated? / I know that ramen is not quite like this…

Kyouya: Umm, do you not even know how to eat it?
Takabayashi: Who do you think I am?! Stop patronizing me!

p11:
SFX: Bthump Bthump

SFX: Slurp

SFX: Slurp

Kyouya: Wh… What should I do…
Takabayashi: I think… / I did something wrong…

Kyouya: Umm, President, watch me, please.
Takabayashi: ?
Kyouya: First, dip the noodles into the soup…

p12:
Kyouya: Here. Say “ah”.

Takabayashi: I see now. Perhaps I should have used my tool like this from the beginning…
(arrow to Kyouya): Tool
Kyouya <aside>: Whatever, just hurry up and eat it.

SFX: Ahhmph

SFX: Chomp chomp

Takabayashi: !

Takabayashi: Im—impossible! It’s so good!!
Kyouya: Isn’t it?
Takabayashi: The soup tastes so strong, and the texture of the noodles feels so pleasant and comforting…

Takabayashi: I’ve never experienced anything like it! Never have I eaten such a thing in my mansion!! / This strong, simple, and cheap taste is simply divine! Seconds, please!!
Chef: Um, miss, what did you…
Kyouya: I’m sorry…

p13:
Takabayashi: Ahh! I ate so, so much!!

Takabayashi: <aside: My tummy is absolutely stuffed. > / I can’t believe even the small was such a large helping.
SFX: Pat Pat
Kyouya: What do you mean, small? / And she’s so thin! Where does she pack it all in?

Kyouya: So then, if you’ll excuse me… / <aside: I need to get Yuuma-nee-san her cream puffs. >
SFX: Nod

Kyouya: Gah?!
SFX: *Squeeze*

Kyouya: What was that for?!

Takabayashi: There’s a few other places I want to go…
Kyouya: Huh?!

p14:
Takabayashi: Here we are!!

Kyouya: A crane game?
Takabayashi: <aside: Ohh! > / Yes, yes! I always wanted to try this once!! / Look, Number 4! I want to scoop up that one in the corner!

Kyouya: You say that, but… These games are much harder than they look. And getting the one you want looks impossible…
Takabayashi: What? You can’t do it?

Takabayashi: Commoners are far less interesting than I anticipated… / <aside: I had such high expectations for you… >

Kyouya: What’s that supposed to mean? / And I am sick of this idiot acting like she looks up to commoners!!

p15:
SFX: *Steps up*
SFX: Weeen / Garrra

SFX: Clink

SFX: Toddling
Takabayashi: That kid right there was able to win on his first try!!
Kyouya: He was a pro! Of course he’s a pro! / <aside: He has to be!! >

SFX: *Crowd noises*
Takabayashi: Nothing is impossible for my First Student Council! Now go, Number 4!! / If you can’t even do what an elementary school kid can do, there’ll be a punishment game!
(random background): A fight? But they’re both girls…
Kyouya: Stop calling me Number 4! And what do you mean, a punishment game?!

p16:
Kyouya: … / <aside: Uhh>
Takabayashi: Bthump Bthump
SFX: Garra Garra

Kyouya: Geh!
SFX: Boop

Takabayashi: What are you doing?! You were so close!! / You useless sukapontan!!
Kyouya: I told you this was hard!!
SFX: Bonk Bonk

Takabayashi: Enough! Out of my way! I’ll show you just how good I am at this!
Kyouya: So why didn’t you just do that from the start?!
SFX: Shit

Takabayashi: … Did you just say something to me?
Kyouya: N—no! Of course not! / Yay! I know the President can win!

p17:
SFX: Boop

Kyouya: So then. Hard, isn’t it? / <aside: Just take a look at it. >
Takabayashi: …

Takabayashi: I’ve already spent 20,00 yen on it…
Kyouya: Are you going to keep playing? That little thing isn’t that important, is it? / <aside: It’s not like you’re a commoner. >

Takabayashi: I’m all out of cash…
SFX: *Droop*

…?!

p18:
Kyouya: Let me have a turn. I’ve got another 100 yen coin…
Takabayashi: !

Takabayashi: Huh? You’re going to play?
Kyouya: It’s not that much money… But this is all I have.
SFX: *Click*

Kyouya: If I win, I’ll give it to you as a gift. / But even if I fail, there’ll be no punishment game, OK?

Guy on the right: What’s with those two?
Kyouya: Whooooaaaa
Takabayashi: You did it!!

p20:
Takabayashi: Nanase! Isn’t it so cute?!
Kyouya: I… suppose.
SFX: *Grin*

Kyouya: But I never would have expected the President to have this part of her. / It’s really strange.
SFx; Hair rustle

Kyouya: ?

Kyouya: Huh? What happened to your feet?
Takabayashi: Hm?
SFX: *Stop*

p21:
Kyouya: This is horrible! Look at how bad your skin is! / How have you walked so far with your feet like this?!

Takabayashi: Well, normally I just ride around in a car. I almost never walk around this much.
Kyouya: <aside: Dammit. I really don’t get you. > / Even so… Doesn’t it hurt? How can you put up with the pain?

Takabayashi: More importantly, there’s still places I want to go!
Kyouya: Do you really intend to walk somewhere with your feet like this?!

Takabayashi: They’re my feet, and I say they’re fine, so there’s nothing to worry about!
Kyouya <aside>: But I am worried…

SFX: *Stand*

p22:
Takabayashi: Wh—what are you doing?!
Kyouya: Let’s at least buy you some bandaids at the pharmacy.

Takabayashi: Wh—why should I have to be carried on a man’s back?
Kyouya: I am a girl right now. / <aside: Sigh >

Kyouya: The pharmacy’s not that far away… And there’s somewhere you want to go, right? / I feel uneasy just looking at your feet.

p23:
Takabayashi: If you touch me someplace weird, I’ll execute you.
Kyouya: I won’t touch you.

p24:
Kyouya: Huh? / Did the President just…?

Takabayashi: Well, / Nanase…
SFX: Bthump Bthump Bthump

Takabayashi: Your back’s a lot thinner than I thought it would be. / <aside: Riding on you feels absolutely horrible. >
Kyouya: <aside: I’ll throw you, dammit! > / What do you want me to do?! I am a girl!!

Sign: + Segami Pharmacy | Medicine

Takabayashi: Disinfectants and Bandaids: Complete!
SFX: *Step*

p25:
Takabayashi: Now I am 100% revived!!
Kyouya: So you can make your own way home now, right? / <aside: I’m going to head home myself, then. / I have shopping left to do, too… >

SFX: *Twitch*

Takabayashi: Hey! That’s not what you promised!!
Kyouya: Could you please stop forcing your way?!! / I have shopping I need to do, too!!

Takabayashi: Th—there’s just one place left I want you to take me. I’ll let you go, once we’re through… / Today, as a special favor, I’ll end it at that.

p26:
Kyouya: Hmmm

Kyouya: Let me guess: you’re nervous at the thought of being left alone? / <aside: Please be honest. >
Takabayashi: Why would you say something so stupid?! And moreover, what makes you think you have the right to veto my orders, Number 4?!

Kyouya: Heh hm. I’ll go with you, if you just say you’re nervous. / <aside: C’mon, admit it. >
SFX: Ahaha

Takabayashi: Attention, everyone! Would you like to see a real, live Original Taker from urban legend?!
Kyouya: <aside: Th—there’s no way those are real?! > / Uwaahhhh!! Uwaahhh!! I’m sorry! I’ll go with you wherever you want!!

Takabayashi: Then let me on your back.
Kyouya: You demon.

p27:
Takabayashi: Hmmm
Kyouya: *Cold sweat* x3

Takabayashi: My goodness, are you nervous, Number 4? And here I thought we were both girls.
Kyouya: The… The final place can’t be here, right?
SFX: Cold sweat x2

SFX: Smile
Takabayashi: That’s right! I always wanted to come here once.
Kyouya: ?

Takabayashi: I’ve grown tired / of the particular designer underwear my grandfather gets me.

p28:
Kyouya: Her grandfather prepares her underwear, huh? / I suppose the rich have their own circumstances…
Takabayashi: Ah, that’s right. I should turn my phone’s power back on.
SFX: Beep

Takabayashi: That’s right.

Takabayashi: Good work accompanying me all day. / I give you my thanks.

Takabayashi: And one more thing… We’re both in the same year, so speak less formally to me.

p29:
Takabayashi: I will allow you to call me Reiri from now on, / Nanase Kyouya.

Kyouya: Re… Reiri? Her first name? / Wait… Does that mean…

p30:
Kyouya: Hah! Don’t tell me this is some kind of trap?! / She must have some sort of hidden agenda… Like if I do poorly, there’ll be a punishment game, or something… / For now, I’ll go with “President Reiri”.
SFX: Mm-hm
Takabayashi: Then if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go try this on.
Clerk: The fitting room is right this way.

Kyouya: President Reiri really is / a hard person to understand…

Sumomo: Are you sure she’s in here?
Tsurumi: I’m certain of it. I traced her phone here.

p31:
Sumomo: Wow! There’s so much cute underwear lined up!
Kyouya: Wh—why would those two suddenly come here? / Wait—first off, why am I hiding?
Tsurumi: That doesn’t matter! After having no response, the President’s cell phone just became active! We must find her, quickly!
SFX: *Heavy heartbeat*

Tsurumi: How strange…
Sumomo: What is it?

Tsurumi: The scent… of Nanase Kyouya is in the air.
Kyouya: What are you, a dog?!
SFX: Ugeh!

Sumomo: Really? There’s no way she’s here, right?
Tsurumi: I suppose… Perhaps I am merely overthinking things.
Kyouya SFX: Bthump Bthump

p32:
Tsurumi: AND FOUND YOU!!
SFX: Rattle

Sumomo: Except she’s not there.
Tsurumi: <aside: Yeah. > / Huh… I suppose it was just my imagination, then.
SFX: *Popping out*

SFX: *Slide*

Tsurumi: There’s no way Nanase-san, someone who’s a guy on the inside, would be in a place like this. / No, because of that perhaps she is repeatedly entering and exiting?
Kyouya: <sfx: Hah Hah> / I’ve gotta hurry… If I don’t get out of here, fast, my life will be in danger!!

p33:
Tsurumi: Then Sumomo, you will keep watch at the entrance and check to see if the President comes out. / I will investigate the store interior.
Sumomo: Roger! Leave it to me!
Kyouya: Geh! / At the entrance?!

…?!

Kyouya: That’s the fitting room!

Kyouya: How lucky! / Anyways, if I go in there and lock the door, somehow I’ll…

SFX: Click

p34:
<no text>

p35:
Kyouya: Why?! / Why would she change without locking the door?!
SFX: *Sweat*

Takabayashi: Nanase… Kyouya…
SFX: *Stunned*

SFX: *Clasp*

p36:
Kyouya: They’ll find us if you scream!! / Stop! Time!!
SFX: Slam Pound Struggle Struggle

Kyouya: I’m… I’m sorry, President… This wasn’t on purpose, I promise…

p37:
Kyouya: …!! / …?! / What—what am I doing?!

Tsurumi: Did I hear something over here?
Sumomo: Huh? But isn’t this the changing room?
SFX: Bthump Bthump
Kyouya: Hiiiii!

Kyouya: P—President Reiri, I promise you there’s a rational explanation behind this… / So please, don’t scream…

p38:
SFX: Nod

Kyouya: Huh? What? Did the President… just… / understand what’s going on?
SFX: *Silence*

Kyouya: !
SFX: *Glance*

SFX: Thump

SFX: Thump

p39:
Kyouya: Wh—what am I doing?! / Is it the atmosphere?! Am I just being dragged along by the atmosphere?!
SFX: Bthump Bthump

Kyouya: Why does President Reiri / look so cute?!
SFX: Heavy heartbeats x3

Kyouya: Don’t tell me this is Estrus…?! / No—that shouldn’t be for a while yet, so why…?!!!
SFX: *Gulp*

p40:
Tsurumi: They surely couldn’t be hiding in a changing room, right?
SFX: *Twitch*

Sumomo: Oh, come on! Of course they aren’t!
Tsurumi: I truly am overthinking things today.
Kyouya: *Sigh*

Tsurumi: AND FOUND YOU…!!
Kyouya: Hiiiii!!
SFX: Clatter

Tsurumi: Heh…. What an interesting turn of events. / How strange… Why don’t I feel like asking for an explanation?
Kyouya: W—wait a second!! You have to listen! There’s a perfectly rational explanation—!!

p41:
Kyouya: Some things happened, and—!! / Kyaaahhhh!

Tsurumi: For goodness sake… What sort of game did you think you were playing? First, you used us as an excuse to head outside, then the second we were distracted you ran off. <aside: You even turned off your phone. >

Tsurumi: If something like this were to ever happen again, I would have to give an immediate report to your father.
Takabayashi: <aside: Don’t preach to me like you’re Papa! > / I know! I know, already!

Tsurumi: *Sigh*

p42:
Tsurumi: All things considered, it probably would have been better had you allowed me to escort you… Could you please try to be more honest next time? / I could take you to a ramen shop, or a lingerie shop, or wherever else you wanted to go.
Takabayashi: Really?! You promise?!

Tsurumi: So then, where did you meet up with Nanase?
Takabayashi: I just happened to run into her at the tsukemen restaurant.

Tsurumi: Of all things, for you to be alone with her… / Did anything… troublesome happen?

Takabayashi: Well…

p43:
Takabayashi: It wasn’t… / particularly bad.

Tsurumi: It wasn’t… / bad?
Sumomo: What did you do with Nanase-san?
Takabayashi: We played a crane game, and…

Tsurumi: The President spent time together, with a man. / There’s no way that wouldn’t be “bad”…
SFX: *Clench*

p44:
Tsurumi: Damn you, Nanase Kyouya!! / I knew I should have punished you harder than I did!!
SFX: Rumble
Takabayashi (aside): Huh? Are you angry?
Sumomo (aside): Ah, she’s burning up…
SFX by Tsurumi: *Quiver*

Police: Umm, Miss? Would you come to the police box with us?
Kyouya: But why… / I didn’t even do anything wrong…
Box: Stripped and left by herself
SFX: *Crowd noises*
Sidebar: Will setting the President’s flag summon more troubles?!

p1:
Mako: You’re really…

Yuuna: Nanase-sempai…

Tsurumi: You’re really going to reveal her secret?

Mako: an Original / Taker?
Kyouya: N… / No, that’s… You know?

p2:
Chapter 6: The Genocider of Life School Tokyo (part 2)
Free text: I thought these feelings of happiness would persist forever—

p3:
Kyouya: You’re…

Kyouya (outer bubbles): You’re kidding! How can you be so irresponsible?! / You promised me you wouldn’t tell anyone!
Takabayashi: Should you really be lecturing me right now?
Tsurumi: You idiot… Is this really the time and place to play dumb?
Sumomo: She even admitted it herself~

Sumomo: Maybe it’d be better if you looked in front of you.

Kyouya: Hiiiiii?!
SFX: Thump

p4:
SFX: Kapow

Kyouya: H—hey, wait!! / <aside: Is she really trying to kill me?! >

Mako: Original Takers… You are an evil whose despicable egos can never be satisfied, / and as you have your fill you inevitably saddle others with misfortune…
SFX : Hnnnn / Hnnnn

Mako: Your kind killed my brother!! / Everything’s your fault!!!!!
SFX: Bmmmn

p5:
Yuuna: Stop!!

SFX: Bssh / Swush

SFX: Kaboom / Kapow

p6:
Tsurumi: Are you… prepared to take responsibility? / <aside: If she died, then… >

Takabayashi: Responsibility? / <aside: *chuckle* >

SFX: Hnnn / Hnnn
Takabayashi: I don’t think it’s time / to worry about that just yet.

p7:
Mako: She was able to withstand that attack / with her bare body?

Yuuna: That must be a Sorcery Device…

Yuuna: That means Nanase-Sempai / really is…

Takabayashi: So it turns out Originals really are quite sturdy. Everything went according to my calculations.
Tsurumi: Did you really perform any calculations?

Kyouya: Please, answer me, / Ishihara-senpai…

Kyouya: Why do you think / Original Takers are evil?
SFX: *glare*

p8:
Mako: Because they’re monsters…

Mako: Original takers are the seeds of evil, beings who live only for themselves and are destined to grow into Psychopaths!! / Every element of you—down to your very genes—was conceived and born in sin!!!

Mako: So I have to eradicate / all of you!!

Kyouya: Kyou-chan.

SFX: Tch / Shit
Kyouya: You’re wrong…

p9:
Kyouya: You’ve allowed your own personal prejudices to distort your worldview!! / Every single Original Taker I’ve ever met was a good person!!

Kyouya: I know you had a bad experience with one of them, / but how can you use that to judge all of us?!

Mako: Do you really think…
SFX: Tch

Mako (at bottom): I’d fall for that bullshit?!
Free text: The Fifth Choir, Virtue / Uzziel

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Argh!
Mako: The hell??!!

SFX: Kapow

p13:
Takabayashi: Huh…

Takabayashi: Was that an Original Taker’s Life Skill?
Tsurumi: I must confess, I am surprised she was able to use such a high-level skill instantaneously.

Tsurumi: However, that comes at the cost of an Original having her Life tied to her mortality.

Tsurumi: In other words, every skill she uses brings her closer to death.

p14:
Kyouya: Hah… Thank goodness Mizuho-san taught me how to use my Skills!!
SFX: Ping / Ping / Ping

Kyouya: My Life’s going down faster than normal!! / At this rate, I’m really going to die!! / <aside: What do I do? / *groan* >

Mako: Why…

Mako: I threw away my heart, and willingly succumbed to heresy… / I did whatever it took so that I would have the power to defeat you Original Takers…
SFX: *rumble*

Mako: I even…

p15:
Mako: I even rejected what was important to me…

Mako: I killed so much of my own heart so I could become more ruthless…

Mako: All so that I would have the power / to erase you despicable Originals from the face of the Earth… / So… / So why?

Mako: Why can’t I kill / even one of you?!!!!
SFX: Aaaagh!

p16:
Kyouya: Whoa

Tsurumi: Virtues from the Fifth Choir! Baraqiel?! And Thunderbolts?!
Sumomo: She’s summoning Uzziel and Michael at the same time?!!

p17:
(?): Three simultaneous summonings? I suppose her nickname “Genocider” isn’t just for show. / However, it’s certainly taking quite a toll on her body!
SFX: Bam / Bam

Yuuna: Stop, / Mako-chan!!!

Mako; Stay back!
SFX: *shocked*

Mako: I sacrificed so much… / I hurt myself… did so many painful things… so why…
SFX: *Bam*

Mako: I’m not your friend, / you disgusting Original Taker!

p18:
(?): You’re sacrificing yourself for our sake? Aren’t you just pretending so you can put your own heart at ease?! / All Takers are the same in the end!!

Mako: If I’m wrong, then give me back my brother!! / Bring him back alive!!

Mako: WHY CAN’T I DEFEAT / AN ORIGINAL?!!

p19:
Kyouya: Shit! / If I can’t dodge this…!!
SFX: *glare*

SFX: *pain*

Kyouya: Huh?

SFX: Krackaboom

p20:
(?): Kyou…

Yuuna: Nanase-sempai!!!

SFX: Hisss

Takabayashi: She couldn’t dodge the attack… Was it because it was a Thunderbolt?
Tsurumi: It certainly wouldn’t have been easy, but not impossible… / Something must be off about her.

p21:
Tsurumi: At any rate, despite her innate resistances, it does appear there is a limit. / Isn’t it time we ended this?

Kyouya: My… My chest hurts so much, and I couldn’t use a skill… / <asides: Hah / Hah > / Don’t tell me it’s because I’ve run out of life…?!

SFX: Step

SFX: *tremble*

p22:
Mako: Begone,

Mako: you cursed Original Taker…
SFX: *tremble*
Kyouya: W… Wait…

Yuuna: I SAID STOP!!

Yuuna: Just stop already, Mako-nee-chan… / All you’re doing is trying to satisfy your desire for revenge by hurting Nanase-sempai.

p23:
Yuuna: If you’re going to be like that… Then there’s no difference between you and the Psychopaths you hate so much!!!

SFX: Bam
Mako: I—I’m…

Mako: a Psychopath?

p24:
Yuuna: I know… I know how much it hurts, Onee-chan. It hurt me, too. I blamed myself, too… / I wanted to save myself by blaming someone else…

Yuuna: But that won’t fix anything. / After all, Onii-chan’s death / wasn’t your fault, or Ran-nee-chan’s fault!!

Yuuna: And I know you know it wasn’t… / It definitely wasn’t the Original Taker’s fault, either!

MakO: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!
SFX: (more screaming)

p25:
Kyouya: What...
SFX: *shake shake*

Kyouya: What’s / going on?!
SFX: Roar

Tsurumi: Was that also according to your plan? / <aside: Don’t look at me. >
Takabayashi: Of—of course it was…

p26:
Tsurumi(?): Angels are to us a double-edged blade… They are not beings which exist to serve humanity. / We have simply found a way to raise them to serve our needs.

Tsurumi(?): Of course, it takes a high level of will and mastery for a SAI to control an Angel. / If her powers are found wanting, the SAI will become the Angel’s prey.

Tsurumi: There have been accidents where a SAI Taker has lost consciousness and the Angel was released… / However, in this case her grudges and tenacity have caused the summoner to be possessed by wicked thoughts.

Tsurumi: The Angels are feeding on those thoughts and grow larger… / I fear that soon they will become uncontrollable monsters.

p27:
Angels: You’re not wrong. / You poor thing… / You’re right… / Yes—the ones who are wrong…
SFX: Tee-hee / Tee-hee / Tee-hee

AngelS: are the ones who—
Mako: are saying I’m wrong, aren’t they?

p28:
Tsurumi: It’s too dangerous! This isn’t the time to worry about victory or defeat—we need to restrain her!
Takabayashi: Wait!

Takabayashi: Not yet.

Mako: I’m… / not wrong…
SFX (white text): Hnnnnn
Aside (black text): Hah / Hah

Yuuna: I’m begging you, change back to normal!!

Yuuna: You’re wrong, Mako-nee-chan!

Yuuna: So please, go back to the person you used to be!!

p29:
Mako: What… are you trying to say I’m wrong about?

Mako: No… People like you, who are trying to convince me I’m wrong,

Mako: should be destroyed first!!

p30:
SFX: Kapow

Kyouya: Get… a hold of yourself… already…
SFX: Drip drip

p31:
Kyouya: You’ve been controlled by long-departed phantoms from your past, swallowed by hatred and malice…
SFX: Hah / Hah

Kyouya: But even now, you still have…

Kyouya: You still have family that’s willing to stay by your side!! / Do you really want all their memories of you to be sad ones?!!!!

p32:
Ran: I—I can’t blame you / for hating me, Mako-chan.

Mako: No… / It can’t be…
SFX: *Sniff sniff*

Mako: The truth was… I couldn’t… / I couldn’t hate Ran-chan…

Mako: I knew it was Ran-chan’s fault Onii-chan died, but… / But I couldn’t come to hate her…

SFX: Bam / Bam

Yuuna: No! Onee-chan, get a hold of yourself! / If you lose control of the Angels…

p33:
Tsurumi: She’s reached her limit! The Angels are about to be released!!
Takabayashi: Everything’s s—still going according to my plan! O—OK! Sumomo! Get in there!!
Sumomo: Huh?! Me?!

SFX: *glare*

(?): Mako!! / Don’t give up!!!

SFX: *rumble*
Mako: Kuohhhhhhhhhhhh!!

p34:
Tusurmi: This was… certainly beyond my own predictions… / I would never have imagined

Tsurumi: that such an amplified summon, once released / could ever be rebound by to a body by sheer force of will.
SFX: Kyahhhh / *roar*

p35:
Mako: Please… Get away from me… / I can’t hold them back… for much longer…
SFX: Roar

SFX: Bam / *tremble tremble*
Mako: Don’t cry… Yuuna…

Mako: I won’t let you / suffer for my mistakes!!!
SFX: *roar*

p36-37:
SFX: Boom / Kapow

p38:
SFX: Kyahh / Ughhh

Takabayashi: How spirited of you… / You did so well, there was barely anything left for me to finish off.

Takabayashi: Perhaps the name Genocider / does suit you, after all.
(TL/N: Genocider is written in English in the original with the kanji for “god of death” (Shinigami). I'm... starting to think the author doesn't know what the word “genocide” means.)
SFX: Tee-hee

p39:
Kyouya: Dammit. If you were going to save us…
SFX: Hah

Kyouya: you could have gone in from the start… / you… bastard…
SFX: *hold tight* / *collapse*
Yuuna: Nanase-sempai!!

Yuuna: Sempai!! / Get a hold of yourself, Sempai!!

Mako: They even destroyed the three rampaging Angels / that I could barely hold back as they swelled up and sucked me dry…

SFX: Kh!

p40:
Mako: Is this the power / of the First Student Council?!!

p41:
Yuuma: They let you get this injured?! / How dare those devils!!

Yuuma: I’m so sorry, Kyou-chan! I’m supposed to be there for you, but I couldn’t do anything!!
SFX: *Wahhh*
Kyouya: It’s fine, Nee-san… I told you, it wasn’t the President’s fault at all…

Kyouya: However, things did get pretty dangerous… No matter how you look at it, they went too far. / What are those three thinking?

Yuuma: Um, Kyou-chan, look over there.
Kyouya (aside): Huh?

p42:
Kyouya: Yuuna! Why are you hiding over there?! / <aside: Silly… >
Yuuna (aside): I’m—I’m sorry! / It just didn’t seem like a good time to come in…

Yuuna: I’m so sorry / for everything that happened!!

p43:
Yuuna: I’ve made up my mind! Please, let me stay by your side until you get better! I have to pay you back!! / <aside: I’ll do whatever you ask!! >
Kyouya: Um, I’m fine, really; you don’t have to do anything…

Yuuna: No! I won’t accept that! / I’ll even become your live-in attendant, if you ask!!
Yuuma (aside): What’s with this girl…

Kyouya: Don’t be so silly. I didn’t really do that much, / and wouldn’t it be annoying to do so much for me?
Yuuna: It wouldn’t be a bother at all!!

Kyouya: But more importantly, what happened to your sister?

Yuuna: Mako-nee-chan said

p44:
Yuuna/Mako: I won’t work as a ringer anymore… / I know now I’m not strong enough to go on always fighting by myself…

Yuuna: Ishihara-sempai wound up being admitted to the hospital, too.
Aside: Well, she did summon three Angels.
Yuuna: Yes, she pushed herself too hard during the fight and has to spend a week here.

Kyouya: But it’s good to see your sister finally opening up her heart.
Yuuna: Yes, and it’s all thanks to you…

Yuuna: And thanks to President Takabayashi / who guided the battle to its conclusion…
SFX: *surprised*

Kyouya: Huh?

p45:
Kyouya (outside): Don’t tell me our President / actually planned all this?
Yuuna (inside): After what just happened, / I’ve decided I’ll follow the President wherever she goes!

Yuuna(?): Don’t you think the edges of her personality have become smoothed out lately?

Kyouya(?): I never would have thought / the President would go that far for her underclassmen.

p46:
(?): Huh? What makes you say that?!
Tsurumi: Why are you still playing dumb even now? Whenever Nanase enters battle, her Life is exhausted.

Tsurumi: And yet you deliberately made her fight with the Genocider. / Don’t tell me this is part of some punishment game…

Takabayashi(?): So, you don’t think I would deliberately try to push her that far?
Tsurumi: Correct. I think it more likely you planned for her / to open Genocider’s heart by force.
Aside: Teehee

p47:
Takabayashi: What sort of silly story is that? I simply wished to inflict a punishment on Nanase for disobeying my orders.

Takabayashi: I never expected her to withstand the Genocider’s attacks / for even a second.
Tsurumi: If you insist, I will not pry further…

Tsurumi: I feel like the club has fared poorly ever since Nanase joined…
Takabayashi: Don’t worry about it~ This time, I’m sure we can wring some profit out of the media club. Right, Sumomo?
Sumomo: (aside: Let’s do it! ) / Leave it to me! I’ll make them pay us back with interest!

Tsurumi: Hm?

Tsurumi: Don’t you think / you’ve become somewhat nicer?

Takabayashi: Well, to be honest,
Sumomo: Huh?

p48:
Takabayashi: you must admit there is value in play. / <aside: They’re good materials (playthings). >
Sumomo: You bastard.
Tsurumi: <aside: Hah > / Is that so?

Kyouya: (aside): B-thump / B-thump
Kyouya: (bubble): W—what do you think, President Takabayashi?

Kyouya: A beautiful maiden accidentally showing off some forbidden zettai ryouiki. / I feel it focuses well on her purity and appeal…

Takabayashi: Rejected.
SFX: Grab
Kyouya: Hey! W-w-wait!!!

Kyouya: C-couldn’t you take another look?! Consider the low angle!!
Takabayashi: Tsurumin, what’s on the menu today?
Tsurumi: Well…
SFX: *rumble rumble*

p5:
SFX: Tada!

Tsurumi: I’ve heard that Original Takers have an extraordinary amount of life force, so she should be able to last a good thirty seconds or so.
Takabayashi (aside): Oh? How interesting.
Kyouya: What are you thinking?! What do you mean, life force?! / Let go! You’ll kill me!
SFX: *struggle struggle*

SFX: Click Click
Tsurumi: So, let us begin.
Kyouya: P-please, President!! / Let me go—ahhhhhh!!

Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

p6:
Kyouya: The penalties get worse and worse every day… / <aside, top panel: Owwww >

Kyouya: <aside on her right shoulder> I might actually turn into Pi**chu…
SFX: Crackle Crackle

Kyouya (bubble): At this rate, I think they’ll break my spirit before they break my body… / It almost makes me want to just take the embarrassing photos of Yuuma-nee-san; it’d make things so much easier…
Kyouya: <aside>: No, I can’t! / I can’t lose, and I can’t run away!

SFX: Ring!

Text: From: Yuuma / Things are running long at the student council, so you’re on your own for dinner tonight. Sorry!

Kyouya: Um, a salmon meal, please… / That’s a really stiff smile for a saleswoman…

Worker: Th-thanks for your business… P-please come a…

Ran: I—I’m sorry!!

SFX (above Kyouma’s head): *bow*
Ran (aside): Th—thank you v-very much for shopping here…
Kyouya (aside): You’re welcome.

Yuuna: Nanase-sempai?

p9:
Kyouya: Ishihara…san?
Yuuna: Were you buying a meal?

Kyouya: Yeah. There’s no one else at home, so it’s for dinner.
Yuuna: Is that so?

Kyouya: Were you here to pick one up, too, Ishibara-san?
Yuuna: Please, call me Yuuna.

Yuuna: Ah, allow me to introduce you. This is my eldest sister.
Kyouya: Huh?!

Kyouya: What?! This shopkeeper is your sister?
Yuuna: Yes, she works here part time.
Ran (aside): I—I’m Ran… / N—nice to meet you…

Yuuna: So Sempai, you said you’re eating alone today?
Kyouya: Yeah, looks like it.

p10:
Yuuna: Would you like to have dinner with us at our house? It’s not very far from here.
Kyouya: Huh? No, no; I wouldn’t want to trouble you.

Yuuna: It wouldn’t be trouble at all. We’re in the same club, and my sister’s nearly done with her shift. / Right, Onee-chan?
SFX: *snap*

Kyouya: Well then, if you insist…

(?): Ran-chan!! You can’t go home until you’ve finished cleaning up the spilled miso soup!!
Ran: Y-yes! I—I’ll get working on it right away!
SFX: *scurry*

Yuuna: S-sorry… I hope you don’t mind waiting a few minutes…
Kyouya: Of course not! Don’t worry about it!

p11:
Yuuna: I know it’s a little dirty; but please, come in.
Kyouya: Not at all! And thanks for inviting me.

Kyouya: She lives really close to me…

Kyouya: It’s an old house, but it looks really well-maintained… / The atmosphere kind of feels like Yuuna.
SFX: *glance*

Yuuna: Please, take a seat. / I’m going to go get changed, then start working on dinner.
Kyouya: Ah, is there anything I can help with?

p12:
Yuuna: Don’t concern yourself with anything, please. Oh yeah, there’s some oranges on the table; why don’t you have one while you wait.
Kyouya: Oranges?

SFX: *Freeze*

SFX: *pause*

Ran: C-can I… e-eat both?

Kyouya: Go ahead; / I’m fine.
SFX: Chomp Chomp

Kyouya: Wow, amazing! / Did you make all this yourself, Yuuna?!

p13:
Kyouya: I’m surprised! You really are good at cooking, Yuuna!
Yuuna: Not really; I just worked with what we had…

Yuuna: And I’m sorry I went and turned your meal into side dishes.
Kyouya: It’s fine; let’s eat it together! / <aside: It’s just sensible >

Kyouya: She always seems so reserved at school, so I was kind of worried, but… / she’s so cheerful at home.

Yuuna: Ah, Ran-nee-chan, there’s enough croquets for each of us to have three.
SFX: *grab* *grab* *grab*

Yuuna: Well, I’m good with only two…
Kyouya: I’ll… just have two as well…
SFX: *awkward silence*

p14:
SFX: Rattle
Mako: I’m home.
Yuuna: Ah.

Yuuna: Mako-nee-chan.
SFX: *glare*

Yuuna: Sempai, this is my second eldest sister…
SFX: *surprise*

Kyouya: H-hello. Sorry to surprise you like this.
SFX: Stomp Stomp Stomp

p15:
SFX: Slam
Ran: *munch munch*

Yuuna: I—I’m sorry, sempai! She’s not a mean person, really! That was just…
Kyouya: <aside: Haha, what a scary-looking sister… > / N-no; it’s fine…

Yuuna: To be honest… I used to have an older brother. He was older than any of us. / But when I was little, he got involved in an incident in a back alley, and…
Ran: Chomp chomp
Kyouma: Huh?

Yuuna: After he died, my sister changed. / She stopped trusting in others… or in herself. / It was almost like she went crazy and blamed herself for everything.

p16:
Yuuna: Hah

Yuuna: Wh—what am I saying?! I’m sorry, Sempai; / I shouldn’t have…
Kyouya: No; it’s fine…

Kyouya: But you really do love your sister, don’t you?

Kyouya: That’s why you told me everything, / right?

Yuuna: Yes… / I love her…

p17:
Some days later

Takabayashi: A letter of challenge? From whom?
[sign]: First Student C

[letter]: Letter of Challenge

Tsurumi: It’s from the media club. It claims Sumomo trashed the place and stole a large amount of their life…
Sumomo: I did plan on holding back…

Takabayashi: So, some weaklings who got beat up by Sumomo want revenge? How do they plan on getting it?
Tsurumi: Well…

p18:
Tsurumi: It seems they plan on sending a representative to the battle.

Tsurumi: Please try not to be overly surprised. That representative is none other than…

Tsurumi: The Genocider / of Life School Tokyo.

Takabayashi: Bwahahaha! The Genocider? / What, Is that some sort of trick?
Sumomo: I think it sounds cooler than “The Destroyer”.
Tsurumi: What are you two, seven? / Tee hee

p19:
Tsurumi: However, this isn’t the sort of thing we can simply laugh off.

Tsurumi: This “Genocider” does not join any clubs, but instead acts as a lone wolf. She pays her tuition using only the payment and Life she receives for fulfilling requests. / One needs a lot of Life in order to pass the graduation exams… It is quite difficult to obtain enough on one’s own.

Tsurumi: As you are aware, there are many classes in Life School which one cannot attend if one is not in a club. / In order to succeed on her own and obtain enough Life, it seems she is willing to take on any sort of request, no matter how low it may be.

Tsurumi: And her success rate as a ringer is… 100%.
Takabayashi: Really…
Tsurumi: We must conclude she possesses some power.

Takabayashi: By 100%, you mean…
Tusurmi: It means what it sounds like it means.

p20:
Tsurumi: She has never lost.
Sumomo (aside): Huh

Takabayashi: Interesting. I want to hear more. I’m sure you have some more info for us, right?
Tsurumi: I thought you’d ask that. I managed to get some top-secret information from the Life School servers.

Tsurumi: Known as the Genocider, born July 3rd, 17 years old, currently a senior.

Tsurumi: Her real name is Ishihara Mako.
Takabayashi: Ishihara…?

Tsurumi: When she was a child, her brother was killed in an incident. This severely shocked her, leading to her current personality. / It seems her brother’s killer… was an Original Taker.

p21:
Takabayashi: Her brother was killed by an Original Taker?
Tsurumi: Yes. It appears the perpetrator was an insane Taker of the Psychopath class. / That fact was kept secret, so I had to secure the data from the Takabayashi Network.

Tsurumi: She has come to hate that which stole her loved one… and came to blame herself for being too weak.
Takabayashi (aside): Hmmph
Tsurumi: She came to distrust others and fell into despair. Well, it’s a somewhat clichéd story.

Takabayashi: I understand the circumstances just fine. / However, I’m afraid that if she is going to bear her fangs at us…

Takabayashi: we’ll have to destroy her perfect record.
Asides: Kh kh kh kh kh

Yuuna: You’re wrong!!

p22:
Takabayashi: Ishihara…?
SFX: *tremble* *tremble*

Yuuna: I know… you’re wrong…

Yuuna: My sister… Mako-nee-chan would never / do bad things in exchange for money!!!
Sumomo: Oh yeah, they have the same last name…

Takabayashi: We’re simply quoting what’s in Tsurumin’s data.
Tsurumi: And I guarantee that data is 100% accurate.
Yuuna: B—but then…!!

Yuuna: Let me go talk to my sister!! / Even if you’re right… / I’m sure I can keep things from becoming a burden to you, President Takabayashi!!

Yuuna: So please, stop this! / Don’t fight with my sister!!

p23:
Takabayashi: Well, I suppose I won’t stop you…

Takabayashi: But if she comes to fight us, I will not hold back. / Not even if she’s your sister. / <aside: You understand, right? >

Kyouya: I wonder what she’ll think of today’s photo… / Please, let her be happy with this…
SFX: B-thump / B-thump

Kyouya: Whoa?!
SFX: *clatter* / Bam!

Kyouya: Yuuna…?

p24:
SFX: (the sound of the water in the river)

Yuuna: Did you really agree to attack the First Student Council for money?

p25:
Yuuna: Please don’t run away!!
SFX: *step*

Yuuna: It’s not Ran-nee-chan’s fault Kenta-nii-chan died… / and it’s not your’s either! So why…!!

Yuuna: Why are you throwing yourself away like this?! / You were never the sort of person who would earn money through violence!!
SFX: *twitch*

p26:
Mako: Who is truly running away: / me, or all of you?

Mako: And there is something else you should try to remember.

Mako: I was always / like this.

p27:
Kyouya: So what brings you here by yourself?

Yuuna: Nanase…sempai…

p28:
Kyouya: Sorry, but I already found out everything back at the clubroom. Including the stuff about your brother… / It must have been hard, having no one to talk to about it.

Kyouya: Let me help you, however I can. / I promise I won’t tell anyone.
SFX: *tear*

Yuuna: Wahhhhh
SFX: *hug*

Yuuna: I know my sister… I know Mako-nee-chan’s not like that!!
SFX: Sniff
Yuuna: I know she wouldn’t hurt others for her own sake.

Kyouya: Yeah, I know. I believe you, Yuuna.
SFX: *pat* / *pat*

Kyouya: However… Crying won’t solve anything, right?

p29:
Kyouya: If you believe your sister, let’s go and convince her.
SFX: *sniff*
Yuuna: I tried… But she wouldn’t listen to me!

Kyouya: Silly you… You’re going to give up after just one try?

Kyouya: If talking to your sister doesn’t work, let’s try the Media Club! They’re the ones who asked her to solve their own problems, after all!

Kyouya: So, let’s go!! / Together, we’ll convince them, easy as pie!
Yuuna (aside): Nanase / sempai…

p30:
Media club: Hell no!!!
Kyouya: Whoa!
Yuuna: Ow
SFX: Bam!

Media club: What do you think you’re trying to pull?! How dare you speak to us like that!! / Or are you trying to say that you’re the First Student Council’s representatives? / Your boss is the hated Takabayashi, after all!! / Do you know what she’s done in order to gain Life?!
SFX: Rumble

Media club: If you really will do whatever, then bring us Takabayashi!! / How dare two of her underlings call us cowards? Get out!!
Kyouya (aside): That was really aggressive…
Yuuna (aside): They must really hate her.

p31:
Kyouya: Damn that President… Why does she have to always do whatever she wants… / <aside: She’s already pissed them off too much…

Yuuna: It’s not the President’s fault…

Yuuna: It’s Mako-nee-chan’s fault… for letting herself get involved in this sort of thing.

Kyouya: To be honest, when I think of your sister teaching the President a thing or two… well… / <aside: Ahh > / No… That’s not an option…

Kyouya: Well then, we’ll just have to try talking to your sister again!
Yuuna: There’s no point. I don’t think she’d even agree to meet with us.

p32:
Kyouya: So we can’t meet with her… / <aside: Uhhh >
Yuuna: She was always the sort of person who kept others at a distance.

Kyouya: Then what about this?

p33:
Yuuna: I—I don’t know if this is the right thing to do… / I know we need to call her out here, somehow, but…
SFX: B-thump Bthump

Yuuna: But if the President finds out we pretended to be the First Student Council’s representatives, she’ll..
Kyouya: <aside: So we just have to make sure she doesn’t find out!! > / If—if that happens, I’ll cover for you, so don’t worry about it!!
SFX: *fidget fidget*

Mako: So, you’re the representative from the First Student Council?
SFX: *surprised*

Yuuna: Ma…

Yuuna: Mako-nee-chan?

p34:
SFX: Gulp
Kyouya: So this is the Genocider of Life School Tokyo…

Kyouya: Ishihara Mako…

Mako: I’ve heard about you… They say you transferred here…
SFX: *surprised*

Mako: Are you really their representative?

Mako: Did Takabayashi really choose you?

Kyouya: The President doesn’t know anything about this.
Mako: What?!

p35:
Kyouya: I came here because I want to speak with you, Mako-san. / Your sister is really worried about you…!!

Kyouya: She can’t believe you’d be willing to sell your pride and conscience for a reward…!!

Mako: Bullshit!! / Summon – Release Code

p36:
SFX: Kbambambam

SFX: Eek!

Kyouya: Is this…
SFX: Hiss

p37:
SFX (large): Hummm
SFX (small): *turn on* / *turn on*
Kyouya: Ishihara Mako’s… / SAI Skill…?!

Mako: How dare you speak as if you know who I am…

Mako: This is a world where those who live good, honest lives are sacrificed! / So what’s wrong with seeking money and power?!

(?): Yes, you understand, don’t you~?

SFX: Gh!

p38:
Kyouya: P…President… / Takabayashi…?!

Mako: So you’ve shown yourself, Takabayashi…

Mako: What’s your plan here, Takabayashi? / I’ve had enough of your fucked-up play.
Yuuna (aside): P-please calm down, Sempai.
Kyouya (aside): It’s over… It’s all over… / All I had to do was not get caught, so why…

Mako: Don’t tell me you planned all this / because you wanted a flashy entrence, or something stupid like that.
Asides: Tusurmi: How perceptive.
Takabayashi: *Twitch*
Sumomo: That’s right~

p39:
Mako: Well, here’s as good a place as any other. / There’s no reason not to settle this here and now. / So who will fight?

Mako: The Shadow Strategist?

Mako: Or perhaps the Destroyer?

p40:
Takabayashi: No…

Takabayashi: I see no problem with things as they are.

Takabayashi: The representative of the First Student Council / is the sophomore Nanase Kyou who stands before you.

p41:
Yuuna: Stop…

Yuuna: Please stop!! / Please let her go, President!!

SFX: Shocked
Yuuna: Nanase-sempai hasn’t done anything wrong!! It’s all my fault— / I asked her to do this!!

Yuuna: So please… let Nanase-sempai go!!

p42:
Mako: You really are a disgusting woman, Takabayashi Reiri. / Do you think I’m blind?

Mako: I’ve heard rumors about you forcing a transfer student to elsewhere to join your club / and working her to the bone.
SFX: *twitch*

Mako: Is that why you did this? You would sacrifice her, like a lizard cutting off its own tail?

Mako: If so, then we will fight later.
SFX: *turn off*

p43:
Mako: I shall send you a fresh challenge someday soon. / I trust you will not run away again.
SFX: *step*

Takabayashi: No… There is no need to reschedule.
SFX: Heh

Takabayshi: For the woman who stands before you, Nanase Ryou… / is no mere human.
SFX: *shiver*

p44:
Takabayashi: She is one of the Original Takers / you so dearly hate.

Kyouya: What sort of person / would say that?!

: A sudden provocation! But why?!

p1:
Kyouya: Yuma-nee-san, do you believe people / are fundamentally good or evil?

Yuma: They’re good, of course. Just look at a baby’s face, and the answer’s clear as day.
Kyouya: Yeah, I guess so…

Kyouya: But do you really believe that someone who is consistently evil was really good as a baby?

Kyouya: Someone who says they have something to take care of and asks you to wait for them, then proceeds to head home by herself,
Kyouya’s aside: She’s not coming…

Kyouya: and asks for you to take off your underwear in order to verify whether or not you’re a girl,
Asides: Strip~ / Strip

Kyouya: and finds out her underclassman’s weaknesses and uses them as blackmail to force him to take embarrassing photos,
Asides: Bring me back some nude photos! Nude ones! / *Yelp*

Kyouya: and even though she knows that if you run out of Life, you’ll die, she threatens to steal your headband if you disobey her…
Asides: Gimme here! / I—I’ll die!

p2:
[title]: Chapter 4: The President’s Secret
Who is the president, truly? / Is she a devil after all? / Or perhaps an angel?

p3:
Kyouya: The president must have been a good child, right?! / I just have to hold out, and everything’ll become clear, right? / Right, Nee-san?! Please, tell me I’m right! / <aside: Please look me in the eye!! >
Yuma: W-well, a strong argument can be made that mankind is fundamentally evil, so…

Kyouya: Blackmailing me with the threat of revealing my secret in order to force me to take embarrassing photos is hard to live with, but… it’s kind of dirty and childish. / At this rate, I might die of spiritual fatigue before I run out of Life.

Yuma: H-how about this: until Mizuho-san figures out a method to fix this,

Yuma: we’ll do as Takabayashi says / and try to get through this time as best we can.
Kyouya’s aside: And again, how are we supposed to do that?

Yuma: I’ll be glad to help! For starters, each day we could give her a slightly more revealing photo. / We could start with something like showing me putting on my makeup right after waking up!!
Kyouya: What part of that is embarrassing?

p4:
Yuma (outside bubbles): At any rate, as I said, we just have to make do!! / Let’s give it our all! Just tell her you’re trying to take whatever chances you can get, or something!
Kyouya’s aside (handwritten text in the middle): Do you really think that’ll work? / Well, she did say she wanted to use them to destroy you, so…

Takabayashi: What is this?

p5:
Takabayashi: This is just a plain old picture of her sleeping!! What is possibly embarrassing about this? Answer me!!
Kyouya: W-well, you see… Yuma-nee-san doesn’t let her guard down often, so it’s kind of hard to take a more decisive photo…

Kyouya: However, if I keep trying like this, I figure eventually I’ll get a photo that’s good enough.

Takabayashi: Well then. As punishment for your failure, you will be forced to chug this container of water.
Kyouya: Huh?!

Kyouya: Th-that’s a giant water purification tank, isn’t it?! / Wh-what are you—ugh!!
Kanemitsu: More importantly, there seem to be some rather interesting details hidden in here.
Takabayshi: Hm?

Kanemitsu: Look at this bookshelf behind her bed. It’s filled with manga.
Takabayashi: Oh. And what else?

p6:
Kanemitsu: Furthermore, on top of her desk is a pen tablet. / And by her side is a catalogue of pens from a doujin event…
Takabayashi: Oh. So what?

Kanemitsu: You don’t know?

Kanemitsu: This goes far beyond the level of a mere manga fan. This one has the scent of a full-blown otaku. / And judging by her collection of tools, the probability that she is a member of some doujin circle seems high.
Takabayashi: Igarashi—in a circle?!

Kanemitsu: And the fact that no one at school knows anything about it is the proof she’s hiding everything./ Which means this is a secret hobby Igarashi wants no one else to know about.
Takabyashi: Ohhhh!

p7:
Sumomo: She’s done with her drink~
Takabyashi: That means that we simply must…
Kanemitsu: bring that truth to light.

p8:
Yuma: That’ll be 500 yen.

Yuma <aside>: Thank you very much.

Yuma: One more sold…
Kyouya: Wow. They’re selling really well; you must be popular!

p9:
Yuma: I’m not really that popular; I’ve only sold about thirty copies. But more importantly, thanks for helping me out today, Kyou-chan. / Sorry it’s so crowded.
Kyouya: It’s fine, really! It’s pretty fun, too!

Kyouya: Besides, I’d be more than willing to put up with this in order to help you out.

Kyouya: But even so, Nee-san, you’ve really gotten good, haven’t you? I remember you used to like drawing when you were little, but… / this work really looks like a pro’s!
Yuma: N-no it doesn’t! Not one bit!!

Yuma: I still have a ways to go; really, I do. My drawings aren’t that good; I’d be embarrassed if anyone in the student council saw their quality…
Kyouya: I really don’t think they’re that bad, but…

Sgt. Frog: Oh? Might this happen to be the rumored newbie manga?

p10:
Kanemitsu: The proper term is “Doujinshi”.
Sgt. Frog: Regardless, this is such an indecent book. / Wow! What an impressive drawing of a naked girl!

Sgt. Frog: Anyways, secure the evidence!!
Kanemitsu: Understood.

p11:
Kyouya: What, exactly, are you trying to pull?! / Why are you barging in here, taking pictures without even bothering to ask permission?!

Sgt. Frog: Heheheh… Without permission, you say? Have you not figured it out yet? / Very well… Allow me to explain..!

Sgt. Frog: Sometimes, I am a sergeant!!

Sgt. Frog: But at other times, I am the most beautiful girl in Life School Tokyo!!

Sgt. Frog: I… can’t reach the zipper on the back… help?

p12:
Takabayashi: That’s right: I’m Takabayashi Reiri!! / I have successfully disguised myself in order to infiltrate your gathering and gather information!

Takabayashi (outer bubbles): And now, I will use that information in order to reveal the secret hobby of the fake student council president!! / You were completely fooled by my cunning disguise, weren’t you? You never even had a clue!! / I was perfectly in-character the entire time!!
Kyouya (aside): Who do you think you fooled?
Yuma (aside): You didn’t even bother to disguise any of your friends…

Takabayashi: But more importantly, Student Council President Igarashi-sannn? / I never doubted you had a few abnormalities; however…

p13:
Takabayashi: I never would have dreamed you’d have a hobby such as this! Even now, I can barely believe my eyes! / <aside: Just touching them makes me want to puke >

Takabayashi: I can’t believe you’re selling such a shameful manga to these sweaty, disgusting pigs. / And yet you still call yourself the student council president of the prestigious Life School Tokyo?

Takabayashi: And what is this? Nothing but a swarm of worthless people / gathering to purchase such perverted manga without even a hint of shame. / How despicable!!

Kyouya: You’ve gone too far, President Takabayashi!!
Takabayashi: Huh?

p14:
Kyouya: All of these people are here because they love manga!! / You have no right to insult people for working hard towards something they love!!

Kyouya: Even you, President Takabyaashi, / don’t have that right!!

Yuma: Kyou… / chan…

p15:
Takabayashi: Sit.

Takabayashi: Shock.

Takabayashi: You speak of rights?! Perhaps you should learn your place before you speak again!! / You are nothing more than a pi**chu-like pet!!
Kyouya: You’re—you’re wrong! This isn’t me… It isn’t…!!
Yuma (aside): Kyou-chan…

Takabayashi: And as for your precious little thing…

Takabayashi: Is this a “Adults Only” label I see here on your book?
Asides: Hm? / Is it? / Is it?

p16:
Takabayashi: If it’s so important to you, then why do you hide it?! / Wouldn’t it be best if we told the whole student body about it?

Takabayashi (outer bubbles): “I, Igarashi Yuma, am an otaku who draws adult doujinshi! / I can’t get enough of drawing pervereted art!”
Aside: I can’t believe her… Is she even human?

Yuma: So you’ve had your laugh… / Yes, I am a doujin artist.

Yuma: But I’m not hiding that fact because I’m embarrassed by it!! / I just don’t have enough confidence in my art to want everyone else to see it!

p17:
Yuma (all the bubbles): Yeah! I love drawing cute girls!! / I want to work hard so I can draw them even cuter and sexier!! / And I love breasts!! / If I only had some real talent, I’d be extremely proud of my work!
Takabayashi’s aside: H-hey…
Sumomo’s aside: Breasts…?
Kanemitsu’s aside: She’s entered self-destruct mode…

Yuma: And you… Have you ever seriously examined a manga—a doujinshi? / Maybe you should cast aside your prejudice, take a walk around this convention, and take a look at everyone else’s efforts… / Why don’t you try to think about what they’re trying to draw.

Yuma: And would you please stop criticizing and looking down on people for things you don’t even understand?! / I have never, ever been embarrassed about drawing doujinshi!!

p18:
Spectators (outer bubbles): That speech was awesome!! / Miss, you’re amazing!!!
Takabayashi (aside): What? What happened?
Kanemitsu: I’d expect as much from the official student council president… She has quite a way with words.

Kyouya: Heh.

Kyouya (outer text): That’s just like you… / Yuma-nee-san…
Yuma (handwritten text): Oh no… That was so embarrassing… Why did I go and say that?

Box: The type of person who gets pissed off when she loses an argument.

p19:
Takabayashi: Then why don’t I take a look around?

Takabayashi (outer bubbles): I’ll do as you ask, and take a good, hard look at everything at this convention. / And if my opinion remains unchanged..
Kanemitsu: Dammit… This has become a nuisance.
Sumomo: Yay! Are we going on a field trip?

Takabayashi: I’ll show this photo to the whole school!
Yuma: I--isn’t that a little one-sided?

Takabayashi: Nanase! You will show us around!
Yuma: Kyou-chan!!
Kyouya: Uwah! Why do I have to!!

p20:
(no text)

p21:
Takabayashi: Puwahhh!!!!

Takabayashi: Hah! Hah!!! / Kha!!

Takabayashi: It’s crowded over there, and over here, and everywhere…
Kyouya: We haven’t even seen a tenth of what’s here yet.

Kyouya: And, at some point, / we wound up getting separated from Kanemitsu-san and Izawa-san.

Kyouya: So, now what? Would you like to look around some more?
Takabayashi: I can’t accept it.

p22:
Takabayashi: What would possibly cause so many people to gather in the same place?

Kyouya: You still don’t understand? They’re all here to celebrate the one hobby they all share. / This is a place where all of these individuals gather so that they can warmly share what they love so much…

Kyouya: Don’t you think it might have been wrong of you to simply barge in here and try to judge them all?

Takabayashi: Sit.

Kyouya: N-no! Forget what I just said! But regardless, what Yuma-nee-san said was…!

p23:
Takabayashi: How dare you speak like that to me?! You have ten seconds to bring me something to drink. What are you waiting for—go!!
Kyouya: You haven’t changed at all!!

Takabayashi: A place where people bring the things they love, huh. / Well, I guess it kind of is…

p24:
Man: Would—would you mind if I took your picture?

Various: Huh? Who are you supposed to be? Is it some new cosplay outfit? / Oh! And the model is so high-level. / Please, let us take your picture.

p25:
Takabayashi: Tsu… Tsurumin…

Takabayashi: Sumomo…?
Asides: So pretty / She’s cute

Various: Could we please take your picture? / Can we take it? / Can we? / We can, right? / Right?

p26:
Kyouya: Dammit… The vending machine was sold out.

Kyouya: She’ll probably punish me again for being late.

Kyouya: Isn’t this where the president was? / Why are so many people gathered here?

Kyouya’s aside: Huh?

p27:
Various: Life both of your arms and show us your armpits!! / Could you turn your hips and extend out a little, please?! / Could you lift your skirt up just a hair?!!

p28:
Kyouya: What the hell is going on…? / Why is the President of all people doing exactly what everyone tells her to do?!

Man: Whoa… / Whoaaaaaa!!

Man: Your… Your shirt..!! / Please, could you take off your shirt?!!
Kyouya: What?!

Kyouya: That idiot! Why would he even say that?! / There’s no way she’d actually listen!!

p29:
Various; Yeah!! / Amzaing!! Go further! Further!!

p30:
Various: Whooahhhhh!!! / Miss, you’re the greatest!!!

Kyouya: Impossible! Why would she?!

p31
Various: S—stay just like that, but face towards us!! / Squish… Squish your boobs together, please!!

Kyouya: No! Something’s wrong here!! / And these jerks are completely caught up in the flow!!

Man: Your… Your bra…

Man: Please take off your bra!!

p32:
Kyouya: NOOOOOOOO!!!

p33:
Kyouya: Out of my way, you idiots! Move!! / Please stop, President Takabayashi!!

Kyouya: Don’t you see what you’re doing?! / This has gone far above just doing them a favor!!

Kyouya: You—you bastard! Stop taking pictures!! / I told you to stop!!

Takabayashi: I’m… I’m scared…

Takabayashi: I’m scared… / of men…

p34:
Kyouya: President?!

Kyouya: Hey, you assholes!! / Give me all the pictures you took!!!

Various:We—we can’t! These photos are our most valuable treasure!!
Asides: Give ‘em here! / Like hell I will!
Kyouya (bubble): You think it’s OK to take people’s pictures without their permission, you criminal?!
Various: She didn’t say no, and she was doing whatever we asked… That’s like having permission, right?

p35:
Man: Uwahhhh!! What the hell is that?! A fire extinguisher…?!

(?): All of you are going to give me your memory sticks and I’m going to erase them.

p36:
Kanemitsu: There is no point trying to run. If anyone tries to escape, / I’ll chase them down to the end of the earth and send their ass to hell!!!

Kyouya: Kanemitsu-san… / Izawa-san…?

Various: Don’t… Don’t you dare underestimate the soul of an otaku! / These memory sticks are the proof that we lived! / Do you really think you can just take them from us?!

Kyouya (aside): Hiiiii!

Various: Here are our memory sticks!!!

p37:
Kyouya: What happened back there? / Why’d she obey all of those ridiculous requests?
Sumomo: President, you need to drink a little more slowly.

Kanemitsu: You must be happy.

Kanemitsu: Now you know the President’s weakness. / As you saw, the President isn’t very good with all-male gatherings.
Kyouya: All-male?

p38:
Kanemitsu flashback: The President is misandric.
Kyouya: You did say something like that before, didn’t you?
Kyouya’s aside: What the…

Kanemitsu: So, are you going to tell the whole school?
Kyouya: Huh?

Kanemtitsu: About today, I mean.
Kyouya: I’m nothing like President Takabayashi, thank you very much.

Kyouya: I don’t do such despicable things / as threaten to reveal other people’s weaknesses.

Tsurumin: Well, I suppose your secret is a million times larger, so the President’s doesn’t really compare, but…
Kyouya: You really are…
<aside: send them all to hell! >

Takabayashi: Tsurumin!!!!

p39:
Takabayashi: I want to know the address of every single one of those disgusting fiends from today!! (I’ll send them to a living hell!!)
Sumomo’s aside: Thank goodness!
Kanemitsu: We have all of their memory sticks, so it should be easy to look up that information.
Kyouya’s aside: Well, she’s back.

Takabayashi: We’re going home!! / I need to take a shower, now, or this stink is going to bury all the way down to my heart.
Kyouya: Ah, please wait!!

Kyouya: What about your promise with Yuma-nee-san? / You don’t plan on doing anything after all that’s happened, do you?!

Kyouya’s aside: Hm?

p40:
Kyouya: Huh?

Kyouya: Is this.. the memory stick? / This doesn’t happen to have the pictures of Yuma-nee-san on it, does it?

Takabayashi: This makes us even.

Takabayashi: But make no mistake!! / I do not accept Igarashi’s hobby, not one bit!!

p41:
Sumomo: That was fun!
Takabayashi: I am never coming to a place like this again!
Kanemitsu: I fear today was a net loss.

Kyouya: Yuma-nee-san!

p42:
Yuma: Kyou-chan?!

Yuma: Hey, what happened?! Was Takabayashi satisfied? / She didn’t bully you, did she?!
Kyouya: Well, you see…

Yuma: My goodness! / She gave us the memory stick?!

Yuma: But I’m really surprised! I wouldn’t have thought Takabayashi had that side to her. / So, does she understand the doujin lifestyle now?!
Kyouya: Well, I wouldn’t say she understands as much as…

Yuma: You don’t mean she’s joined us on this path, do you?
Kyouya: No, that’s never going to happen.

Kyouya: But really,

p43:
Kyouya: What was she thinking? / I don’t know if I’ll ever understand President Takabayashi.

Box: They completely forgot about her.
Asides: Excuse me… Might you be a member of the staff? / If you need someone to help show you around, we’d be happy to help. / Ah, thank you then. You see, some things happened, and…

p1:
Chapter 3: SAI
[inset]: The splendid debut of the First Student Council’s brains and brawn.

p2:
Takabayashi: Then go, and bring us embarrassing photos of Igarashi Yuma! / If you do well, then perhaps I could be convinced to keep your secret.

Kyouya: It’s all over… Of all the people who could have found out, why’d it have to be them…? / To think I’ve gone from asking them to let me leave to begging them to let me stay…

Kyouya: And I’m supposed to take an embarrassing photo of Yuma-nee-san? / But if I don’t, they’ll reveal who I am, and I’m through… And I didn’t refuse, either…!!
[inset]: Argh!

Kyouya: I guess I have no choice. And if I asked her, I’m sure Yuma-nee-san would be happy to do anything for my sake…
Kyouya-inset: I’m sorry, Yuma-nee-san…
Yuma: Hey, shouldn’t you actually ask me first?
Kyouya: At any rate, I need to start by taking that picture.

p3:
Kyouya: But how am I supposed to do that? / Come to think of it, I really don’t know that much about pictures…

[Sign]: Photography Club

Kyouya: U-um, excuse me.

Photographer: Ah…! / Please, come in. Are you here to check out our club?
Kyouya (aside): Th-thank goodness.

p4:
Photographer: Might you be interested in joining our club?
Kyouya: No… I was just hoping to ask for some advice…
Photographer: Well, I’ll try to help you however I can.

Kyouya: Um… well... you see…

Kyouya: It’s—it’s my little brother! He keeps sneaking into my room, and… well… uh… Yeah! I was hoping maybe I could set a trap with a camera and catch him in the act~
Photographer: Ah, it must be tough having a little brother around that age…

Photographer (outside): In that case, you’d probably be best off with a miniature camera. It can either film or take individual pictures, but… / If all you want is pictures, you could position a micro-camera in a hard-to-see location…
Kyouya (in the middle-right): He actually believed me?!
Photgrapher (left-middle): Maybe something like this?

p5:
Photographer: By the way, if you do choose to join us, you’d be able to use our equipment. / Please think it over.

Kyouya: He seems really nice… It’s kind of refreshing. / This is the first time a boy’s ever treated me like this.

Kyouya: He certainly doesn’t seem bad. / I would, but… well, I’m already a member of the First Student Council, so…
Photographer: Oh, I didn’t realize…

(?): The First Student Council?

(?): What is one of those quacks from a club that doesn’t even do anything doing in my club room? / How disgusting.

p6:
Kyouya: Um… isn’t that a little over-the-top?
Photographer: Ah, that’s our president, Saionji! Welcome back!

Saionji: Sasamori, do you intend to do nothing but entertain stray dogs for the rest of your life? / Bring me that chair.
Sasamori: Ah, yes, sorry.

Saionji: My goodness, what happened? / How embarrassing, and in front of someone from another club, no less.

Saionji: Is even bringing me a chair too much for you?

p7:
Kyouya: Hey!! / Didn’t you just stick your leg out to trip him?!
Saionji (aside): Hm?

Kyouya: I saw the whole thing! Why would you do such a thing?!

Saionji: What’s wrong with you?

Saionji: Are you trying to pick a fight with us?

Kyouya: Out of my way.

p8:
Saionji: Wh-what is she… / She’s so strong…!!

Saionji: Th-that hurts!! Let go!! You little!! / I said, let go!!

Kyouya: Ah, s-sorry… I didn’t…

Sasamori: I’m really sorry, President!! / Just let me talk to her for a second, OK?!

Sasamori: C’mon, c’mon, let’s head outside!
Kyouya: But… uh…

Saionji: Hey, you.

Saionji: You said you were from the First Student Council, right?

p9:
Saionji: I’ll be seeing you again / real soon.

Kyouya: Girls are a lot weaker than I thought… / I didn’t think I was grabbing her that hard…

Kyouya: No, wait—I’m a girl now, too. / Oh, yeah—it’s probably because I’m a Taker now.

Saionji: I’m sorry about all that… They’re really not that bad…
Kyouya: Huh?

p10:
Kyouya: D—don’t worry about it! And I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble… / I guess I caused a bit of a fuss…!!

Kyouya: But I still can’t believe she decided to trip you! / How can you stay silent when she treats you like that?

Sasamori: Because I love photography…

Sasamori: I live with just my mother, but even so she loves taking pictures of the two of us, as a family… / Capturing her joy on film is my one and only beloved hobby.

Kyouya: He really is / a good guy, after all…

p11:
Sasamori: Oh yeah, I never told you my name, did I? I’m Sasamori Yuu, a freshman. / Feel free to ask me whatever you want about photos, as long as it’s unrelated to club activities.

Sasamori: I feel like we’re a lot alike. / We both have to deal with difficult upperclassmen, after all.

Kyouya: Well… I really don’t have the time to worry about other people’s troubles… / I’m Nanase Kyou. I’m in my second year, but I just transferred here. N-nice to meet you…
Sasamori: <aside: Thanks. / Nice to meet you too, Sempai >

p12:
Kyouya: OK… / Yuma-nee-san’s not home yet, so…

Kyouya: So I just need to put this some place where she won’t see it, / and I’ll…

Yuma: Don’t worry, Kyouya. / I know you can do it! I guarantee it!

p13:
Kyouya: I—I can’t do this! / Taking secret pictures is just…! / <aside: That’s not something a man would do! >

Yuma: Well done. / <aside: I was worried, so I thought I’d hurry home, but…… >
Kyouya: Ugyahhhhh!!

Yuma: What?! / Takabayashi found out who you are?!

p14:
Yuma: Now what do we do?! I can’t believe they of all people found out!! / And now you won’t be able to withdraw from their club next semester, either!
Kyouya: M—more importantly…

Kyouya: I was hoping I could convince them to let me leave, but… they said they’d make public who I truly am and would make me the laughingstock of the school… / And now I’m the one begging them not to kick me out…
Yuma: Ah, blood’s rushing to my head…

Kyouya: <aside: What do I do, Nee-san? Please, help! / They’re all monsters and demons! >

Yuma: Well, right now, / the most important thing to do is to keep Takabayashi satisfied, so…

p15:
Kyouya: Wh-wh-what are you doing, Yuma-nee-san?!
Yuma: What do you mean, what am I doing?

Yuma: You need to take embarrassing photos of me, right?! And if you don’t, everyone at school will know your secret! / So there’s no other way, right?!
Kyouya: <aside: Yu—Yuma-nee-san… >

Yuma: I don’t know how well this’ll work, but… / if we try giving her hidden photos of me changing, then maybe…

p16:
Yuma: So… / … hurry up and take the picture…

Yuma: Or is this not enough…? / … I could lower my skirt…

Kyouya: No, please, Nee-san—that’s enough. / I can’t make you do this because of me…

Yuma: I’m fine!

p17:
Yuma: Your life is hanging in the balance, Kyou-chan. / Compared to that, this is nothing!

Yuma: And Kyouka-nee-san’s working really hard for you, too…

Yuma: W-why’d you do that, Kyouya?! / What are we going to do now that the camera’s broken?!

p18:
Kyouya: It’s better this way.
Yuma: “Better”? What do you mean, better? Now Takabayashi’s going to…

Kyouya: It’s enough that you’re willing to do so much for me. / But… I can’t go through with this.

Kyouya: No amount of safety is worth sacrificing you. / I’ll figure out a way to handle this by myself.

p19:
Kyouya: After all, / I’m a man, aren’t I?
Yuma: Yeah… / That’s the Kyou-chan I know…

p20:
Kyouya: I was really cool back there, but… / now what do I do? How am I supposed to fix this?

Sign girl: Ah, welcome. / Sorry, but I haven’t finished preparing dinner yet.
Kyouya: <aside: Huh? >

p21:
Kyouya: Umm… Where is everyone?
Sign girl: The president and the rest of them went shopping. They should be back by dinner.

Kyouya: So, what are you doing right now?
Sign girl: I’m making some pasta. It’s the president’s favorite.

Sign girl: We’ll be eating together in the club room... / You’ll be joining us, right?
Kyouya: She really thinks of the club room as her own private room, doesn’t she?

Kyouya: But why do you have to handle making dinner all by yourself? If the president likes it that much, then wouldn’t it be better if she made it or bought it herself?
Sign girl: Well, I like it this way, so…

Kyouya: Also, I was wondering… what is that you have around your neck? / It looks really uncomfortable. Why don’t you just take it off?

Sign girl: I like it… this way, so…
Kyouya: No one would believe that…

p22:
Saionji: Dammit! You’ve got some nerves, you know! Running around picking fights, then going off to leisurely cook!

Kyouya: Y—

Kyouya: You guys?!

Kyouya: Why are you here?
Saionji: Isn’t it obvious?

Saionji: You’re the one who just tried to pick a fight with someone from my club!! / Why don’t you fight me honestly?! Put your Life on the line and let’s have a battle between our clubs!

p23:
Sign girl: You… didn’t start a fight with the photography club, did you?
Kyouya: Of course not! There was just a bit of a quarrel, is all…

Sign girl: At life school, quarrels between clubs are strictly forbidden! / And now--now the two presidents are forced to risk their Life and settle this face-to-face…!!
Kyouya: <aside: Huh? Really? >

Saionji: However… I heard… / that you were tricked into joining this bogus club.

Saionji: So why would you come and pick a fight with our club?

Saionji: Don’t tell me Takabayashi managed to coerce you / into following her orders.

p24:
Saionji: Everyone here at Life School Tokyo knows the rumors / about how Takabayashi Reiri finds out other people’s weaknesses, coerces them, and traps them in her club.

Saionji: If that’s true, then I’d be willing to let this slide… as long as you were willing to testify, that is. / If you did, then even Takabayashi would be expelled.

Saionji: And you… If there is coercion going on, then speak up. / <aside: It certainly looks like that’s what’s going on. >

Kyouya: You’re completely wrong.

Kyouya: I chose to join this club! / So why don’t you talk to me, the person who’s responsible!

p25:
Saionji: Oh, really?

Saionji: As you wish, then!! / So, what is it you wish to say?!

Saionji: After all, look at this! This is the arm you grabbed! You bruised my skin! How do you plan on paying for this?!

Saionji: If you really are a member of this club, then that makes things simple. / It’s only proper to make the president of this club take responsibility—and apologize.

Kyouya: I’ll… be taking responsibility.

Kyouya: I’ll do whatever it takes for you to be satisfied.
Saionji: You’ll do whatever it takes?

p26:
Saionji: You really know how to sound brave, don’t you?

Saionji: Those words alone aren’t enough to take responsibility! / Show me your arm! Let’s start by doing to you what you did to me!!

Kyouya: Fine.

Kyouya: Bruise my arm, or break it—whatever you want. / If that’s what it takes for you to forgive me, then so be it.

Saionji: <float> Who the hell is this bitch? / <aside: Not bad. > / So, you’re going to keep acting strong, then?

p27:
Saionji: Do you think I’m going to back down now and let you off with a warning?! / Unlock Code: “Summon”!!

(?): Wait right there!!

p28:
Sasamori: Nanase-sempai wasn’t trying to pick a fight with me!!! / She was just interested in photography and wanted to ask me for advice!!!

Kyouya: Sasamori… / …kun?

Sasamori: So please, listen to me!! / Enough of this! Let’s head back.
Saionji: You little…!

Saionji: The likes of you don’t have the right to speak!! / Don’t you dare talk back to your president!!

p29:
Sasamori: I believe that anyone with an interest in photography… / should have the right to visit the photography club whenever she wishes.

Sasamori: The club room / isn’t for the club president alone.

(?): What sort of a joke is that? / Of course the club room belongs to the club president!
Kyouya: <aside: WHAT?! >

p30:
Takabayashi: After all, / they both have “club” in their name, right?!

Saionji: Ta—Takabayashi?!
Sasamori(?): <aside: And I’m saying, you’re wrong! >
Sign girl: President!!

Saionji: I wanted to have a plan in place before she got here…!! / But at this rate…!! / <speech bubble>: Shi—!!

Saionji: Did you hear? One of your members went and picked a fight with the photography club. / Just look at my arm!! What are you going to do about it?! Huh?!

p. 31:
Saionji: Y-you should pay me off with life…! / And you should file a formal apology as president of your club! If you don’t, I’ll file a complaint with the Student Council!
Kanemitsu: Objection.

Kanemitsu: Nanase Kyou is not a member of our club.
Saionji: What?!
Kyouya: But that means!! / <aside: But that means!! / When did she…?!
Kanemitsu: We went through the process to expel you from the club yesterday, after all.

Kanemitsu: It’s the truth. You may examine the data for yourself.
Saionji: Who would believe you?! Everyone in this school knows you’re a swindler!

Kyouya: So then… that’s it… / I guess it makes sense… It’s not like those girls would care about a guy like me…

Saionji: I want to hear it from your own lips, Takabayashi! / Is she really not a member of your club?

Takabayashi: Well now…

Takabayashi: She certainly isn’t right now.

p32:
Takabyashi: But what of it? / Nanase Kyou may not be a member of my club, but she is a candidate to join!!

Takabayashi: Admittedly, she is currently in the midst of completing the final test I have set before her. / But even if she is not a full member, I cannot permit anyone to lay her hands on someone connected to my Student Council! / You’ve got a lot of nerve, Photography Club! Have you prepared yourselves for the consequences?

p33:
Saionji: Hey, I’m the victim here! So, I take it you’re not willing to settle things peacefully?!
Takabayashi: Of course not. I never had the slightest intention of doing so, you blockhead.

Saionji: You… little…

Saionji: I’ll take you all on!! / I’ll file a petition to battle all three of you!!

p34:
Kyouya: Now what do I do? / Everything’s getting out of control…

p35:
Saionji: I figured I should fight you like this, sooner or later! / You and your bogus club, who don’t do any real activities and only obtain your Life through underhanded tactics!

Saionji: The winner of this battle will take half the loser’s life. I assume you have no objections?
Takabayashi: Why would I? You I would fight for free.

Takabayashi: But if you’re asking, then why don’t we have the winner take all the Life? / After all, there’s no way I can lose.

Saionji: Save your sleep-talk for after I’ve won!!

p36:
Saionji: Unlock Code: “Summon”! / Michael!

Spectator: Wow! She managed to summon the Holy Device of an Archangel! / That’s the photography club’s Saionji for you!

Kyouya: Did… did she use her SAI to summon an angel? / Amazing!!

p37:
Takabayashi: Oh, an Archangel? Isn’t aiming for only the Eighth Choir a bit lazy? / If that’s all you’ve got, I don’t see why I should fight myself.

Takabayashi: Sumomo, be a good girl… / and give her a nice pat on the head.

Sumomo: Unlock Code: “Loyalty”

p38:
Sumomo: The Sixth Choir, Power! / Samael!

Spectators: A Power?! / She must have strengthened her physical body in order to be able to resist the sword. / It’s so high-level!

Sasamori: She really is amazing, summoning a Power…!
Kyouya: Is—is it really that amazing?

Sasamori: Of course it is! It’s not just a difference of two choirs!!

p39:
Sasamori: SAI Takers fight using beings from another world called “Angels” through the power of their SAIs. The Angels they can summon can be divided into nine divisions called “choirs”. Those choirs can be combined into three spheres, with the First Sphere being the strongest and the Third Sphere the weakest. Choirs seven through nine are the Third Sphere, while four through six are in the Second. The difference in choirs between the two angels summoned here may be only two; however…

Sasamori: More importantly, there is a large difference between the Third Sphere and the Second. / Unless there were a massive difference in strength between the Takers, the gap in power is basically insurmountable!
Kyouya: <aside: Eh, I didn’t know that… >

Saionji: A Power?! I can’t say I’m surprised, but…!!

Saionji: Do you really think you can stand there and take on an attack from three Archangels?!

p40:
(?): She broke Michael’s sword… / with her bare hands?!

p41:
Sumomo: That was one of Samael’s Skills: / “Titan”!!

Saionji: No matter how much stronger she got, how could she have destroyed Michael’s Sword with her fists? / She really is a “Destroyer”.

Takabayashi: Oh, please. Weren’t you listening to me before?

Takabayashi: At this rate, you’re going to wind up coughing up blood. This is the part where you just give us your Life and prostrate yourself before us. Or wait... You’re not mad, are you? / <aside: You little insects~ >

p42:
Saionji: I need you two… to prepare your Life… Once I summon him, the rest is up to you.

Girls: “Him”?! Are you really going to summon that?! / Don’t do it, Shiina! We aren’t strong enough to—

Saionji: I know this might be a little too much for us. / But I’ll do whatever it takes…
Takabayashi: <aside: You’re worthless! / Worthless, worthless pipsqueaks~ / Everything you do is worthless!

Saionji: to blow the smile off that shithead’s face!!

p43:
Saionji: The Virtue, / Uzziel!

Takabayashi: Oh… An Angel from the Fifth Choir? / <aside: Well done. >

Kyouya: An Angel… / from the Fifth Choir…?!

Saionji: How about that?! Can your Angel from the Sixth Choir… / stand up to me armed with Uzziel…

Saionji: …huh?

p44:

(?): Shiina! / Behind you! Look behind you!

p45:
(?): President Igarashi, there’s trouble!

(?): That First Student Council and the Photography Club are fighting on the third grounds, and…!!!
Yuma: What?!

Spectators: Kyahhh!!! / The Angel’s escaped its bindings!!!

p46:
Spectators: The summoner’s been knocked out!! / Quick, someone go tell the Student Council!!

Kyouya: Wh—what just happened?!
Sasamori: The Angel was released!!

Sasamori: This is what happens when someone summons an Angel beyond her abilities!! / For now, let’s get out of here! The Student Council will manage to take care of it somehow, so let’s leave it to them!!

Takabayashi: How garish~
Kanemitsu: This is truly… a living hell.
<asides: Help me!! / Uwahhhhh! >

Kanemitsu: To be certain, if Sumomo fought that alone, she’d break her bones.
Sumomo: Just say the word, and I’ll try my luck.

Takabayashi: At this rate, that eyesore of a Student Council will wind up being the ones who fix this mess, / and then they’ll be the ones who get all the credit.

p47:
Takabayashi: Clean this up. / It’ll make for good publicity.
Kanemitsu: <aside: Alright, alright >

Kanemitsu: Unlock code: “LX-78”

Sumomo: Unlock Code: “Loyalty”

p48:
Kanemitsu: The Fourth Choir, Dominion: / Muriel

p49:
Sumomo: The Sixth Choir, Power: / Samael

p50:
Sasamori: An Angel from the Fourth Choir?!

p51:
Kyouya: What?! She defended herself against all of those attacks?!
Sasamori: She’s using only the bare minimum amount of Life to put up a pinpoint guard against each attack!

Sasamori(?): That’s the Skill possessed by an Angel of the Fourth Choir: / Air=Aegis!!

p52:
Kyouya: She’s—she’s not defending herself at all…? / <aside: They all slipped inside her guard…? >
Sasamori: But—but why would she…?

Sasasmori: Is—is she only defending against the attacks aimed / at Takabayashi-sempai?!
Takabayashi: <aside: Tsurumin has a very spendthrift soul… / As far as she’s concerned, Sumomo can take care of herself; she won’t use an ounce of force where it isn’t absolutely necessary.

p53:
(?): She’s—she’s unhurt?!

p54:
Sumomo: Let’s get him! Titan!!!

Sumomo: More power! More! More!! More!!!

Kyouya: Is she layering more and more power on top of herself?!
Sasamori: The idiot! There’s no way a mere human could withstand that much power!!

p55:
Kyouya: So this… / is the Destroyer of Life School Tokyo.

p56:
Kyouya: Is this…

Kyouya: The power of the First Student Council…?!

p57:
Spectators: The First Student Council’s really amazing!! / You think they might be even stronger than the Student Council?!
Takabayashi: <aside: Of course we’re more powerful. >

Yuma: Um, hello? Why are they being treated at the heroes? / Aren’t they the ones who caused all this…?

p58:
Kyouya (outside text): Even though it was all my fault… / without saying anything, they…
Kanemitsu: Well…
Takabayashi: So? Think that made for a nice demonstration?

Kyouya: Maybe I… and Yuma-nee-san…

Kyouya: were both wrong about them…

Kyouya: and about the true nature / of the First Student Council…

p59:
Takabayashi: Hey, you there, Candidate!

Takabayashi: What are you just standing around for?! / We’re going to have a pasta party back at the club room, so go get ready!

Kyouya: Could it be… that I…

p60:
Kyouya: have grown to like… / the First Student Council…?!

Takabayashi: What?! You don’t have the photos?! You’re useless to me! You won’t be a permanent member until you do! / <aside: Go eat on the floor! The floor! > / You understand? Until you do, you’re going to be treated as a slave around here, understand?!
Kyouya: <aside: You’re mean! >
Narration: Kyouya soon realized just how wrong he was.

p1:
Was the moment when she let down her guard a mistake? Or perhaps…
[title]: Chapter 2: Welcoming Party!

p2:
Yuma: What the hell were you thinking?

Yuma: You were like… like… like a dog in heat!! / Thank goodness I came back, or else… Or else who knows what would have happened!

p3:
Yuma: And… more importantly… how far did you… did you go with Takabayashi? / <aside: I can’t even think about it! >
Kyouya: What happened to me?! / This can’t be normal!!

Mizuho: Well, if I had to guess… / that might have been Estrus.
Kyouya: Estr…? What does that mean?

Mizuho: Well, like Yuma-chan said, it’s like being in heat.

Yuma: Why do you have to talk about being in heat?! And why would that happen between girls
Kyouya: <aside: In heat… I was in heat… am I a dog? >

Mizuho: Well, you’re still Kyouya-kun on the inside, but…

Mizuho: It’s likely that the hormonal changes you experience at that time of the month cause you to take notice of the opposite sex.

p4:
Mizuho: It’s an unexpected side effect; however, you’ll have to make do until we can figure out an appropriate response.
Yuuma: <aside: Please, just tell me this is all a joke. >
Kyouya: <aside: How am I supposed to stay rational? >
Mizuho: Thankfully, it looks like you only have one more day left. For now, just try to stay rational and suppress the urges.

Kyouya: Well, first things first: / I need to apologize for yesterday.

p5:
Kyouya: Today too? You’re not here every single day, are you? / Ah, h-hello!
Girl: Good day to you, too.

Kyouya: Um… does anything seem different about the Student Council today?
Izawa: Ah! That voice—

Izawa: Wow! You’re finally here! I knew you’d be back!

Izawa: Prez! She’s here! She’s shown up! / The new lesbian is back!!!

Kyouya: W-wait, hold up a second! / I’m not gay—I mean, a lesbian! It’s just, some things happened, and…

p6:
Kanemitsu: Well? What sort of “things”?
Kyouya: <aside: Huh? Uh, that’s… > / I don’t know if I can really explain…

Kyouya: <aside: Well, anyways… I need to take responsibility and apologize… > / … I won’t make excuses. I was at fault yesterday. Please, forgive me…

Kyouya: But I am definitely not a lesbian.

Kanemitsu: Rest assured the president already knows you’re not a lesbian.
Kyouya: You—you believe me?!

p7:
Kanemitsu: It’s not that we believe you… / We simply know that you’re a man.

Kyouya: W—w—what are you saying…?! / How-how-how can you possibly think I’m a man?!

Kanemitsu: You’re either a crossdresser, or a transgender. / Well, I guess you could be a drag queen…

Kyouya: Ha… / Haha…

Kyouya: How—how funny… / Where’d you come up with that one?

Takabayashi: You think this is a joke? Don’t make me laugh! How else do we explain that k… that kiss?! / My instincts have never been wrong before!!

p8:
Kyouya: < aside: She knows… how are her instincts so good?! > / W-w-well, you know the old saying: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth…

Kyouya: I went too far yesterday, so… / I want to take responsibility for my actions and withdraw from the club.

Takabayashi: Don’t worry—if you are a man, we’ll chase you out ourselves.
Kyouya: <aside: Don’t tell me my plan’s working?! >
Takabayashi: I will never let a man, dirty MY student council, let alone a queer!

Takabayshi: No… I won’t stop there! If you are going to expose your disgusting self and hobbies in public, I will drive you from Life School itself!
Kyouya: <aside: W-wait, slow down! > / That would be a bit of a problem…

Kyouya: I-I mean, I am a girl, through and through! / Just look at my sweet face and nice body! I’m the perfect girl! / I even experience that time of the month!

p9:
Takabayashi: I don’t know about that…

Takabayashi: But we’ll know soon enough. / Why don’t we take a look and find out?

Kyouya: W-wait, what are you…? / S-stop!

p10:
Kyouya: P-please, stop! Please! / “Take a look”… Take a look at what? What are you going to do?!

Takabayashi: You know exactly what we mean.
Kanemitsu: <aside: It’s hard to tell just how big they are over your clothes… >
Takabayashi: Be quiet. It’ll all be over soon enough.
Kyouya: S-stop!!

Kyouya: Ahh!

Kyouya: I’m begging you, please, stop!

p11:
Kanemitsu: First, we’ll check the shape.

Takabayashi: They’re fakes, right?
Kanemitsu: Their shape is quite well-made. We’ll have to investigate more thoroughly.

Kyouya: I—I feel so… weird… / My strength is…

p12:
Takabayashi: <aside: Really? >
Kanemitsu: The groping test is complete. / They appear to be real.
Kyouya: <aside: Will you let go of me now? >

Kyouya: What… / What do you mean, “appear to be”?!

Kanemitsu: <aside: Aren’t things getting a little… dangerous? >
Takabayashi: <aside: Perhaps. >
Kyouya: Don’t you get it already? I’m a girl!

Kyouya: Enough of this! Let me resign from the club! / If you don’t, I’ll file a complaint with the real student council!

Takabayshi: Sumomo, could you please restrain her?
Sumomo: OK?

Takabayashi: We are in an age of unlimited scientific potential fueled by Life. Creating false breasts would be almost trivial. / So we need more information before we can confirm anything.

p13:
Takabayashi: We will decide everything… / based on what we find in the most important spot!

Kyouya: Th—the most important spot… / You don’t mean…

Takabayashi: Sumomo, restrain her.
Sumomo: Yes, ma’am!

Takabayashi: Tsurumin, check her.
Kanemitsu: I assume you’ll take full responsibility? / <aside: Things are starting to get annoying. >

p14:
Kyouya: W-w-w-wait a second!!! / You’re kidding, right? This can’t be… Let’s just take a timeout here..!!

Kyouya: You know if you go any further it’s a crime, right?! Are you even listening to me?!

p15:
Kyouya: Stop!! / I told you to stop, dammit!

Takabayashi: Sumomo?
Sumomo: Yes?

Takabayashi: Silence her.
Sumomo: Acknowledged

p16:
Kanemitsu: It doesn’t look abnormal; however…

Takabayashi: R-really? Well then, let’s finish by…

Takabayashi: uh… removing the last layer and examining below that.
Kanemitsu: Seriously?
Sumomo: <aside: last layer? >

p17:
Kanemitsu: Maybe we should just stop here…
Takabayashi: <aside: Can you just hurry up and do it? > / Don’t make me repeat myself!

Takabayashi: If she passes this test, we can believe her.
Kanemitsu: <aside: Well, as long as you’re the one taking responsibility for everything.

p18:
Takabayashi: Th… this is…?!

Kanemitsu: There are no irregularities…
Sumomo: She looks like a splendid woman~!

Kanemitsu: And with that, President, you’ve crossed the Rubicon.
Takabayashi: Don’t act like this was all my fault! I was the victim here!

Sumomo: Looks like she’s awake.
Kanemitsu: Well, she certainly screams like a man.
Kyouya: Uwahhhhhhh!!!

p19:
(?): Is something wrong, President Igarashi?
Yuma: Hm? No, it’s nothing.

Yuma: Are things going well, Kyouya?

Kyouya: I—I—I—I…! / I can’t believe you people!

p20:
Kyouya: Wh-wh-what is wrong with you?! Do you have no shame?!
Takabayashi: <aside: I never laid a hand on you.>
Kanemitsu: <aside: Yeah, and I assure you there is no evidence. >
Kyouya: This is a crime! You’re all criminals!

Kyouya: You… you… you bastards!!

Kyouya: You bastards really are the scum of the earth! / Everything Yuma-nee-san said about you was true!

(?): Huh? / Um….!

p21:
Kyouya: My panties… / are missing.

p22:
Kyouya: What… / am I doing?

Kyouya: I was embarrassed by a bunch of girls…
Sumomo: <aside: What cute panties you’re wearing! >
Takabayashi: <aside: Cackle >
Kyouya: I couldn’t take it anymore and ran away…

(?): What’s wrong with you? / Aren’t you completely and totally a girl?

p23:
Kanemitsu: You forgot something, though… Want it?

Kanemitsu: Your underwear.

Kyouya: What do you think you’re doing! Give them back!!
Kanemitsu: Well of course. Why do you think I brought them?

Kyouya: Wh—what do you think you’re looking at?!

p24:
Kyouya: Is it fun?

Kyouya: Is it fun / to toy with a guy’s feelings?

Kanemitsu: “Guy”?
Kyouya: Guy, girl, whatever!

Kanemitsu: I know our president might have gone too far, / but I doubt anyone has explained to you why.

Kanemitsu: You see, President Reiri… / is surprisingly misandric.

p25:
Kyouya: Misandric… huh? / You mean she hates men?
Kanemitsu: It might be more accurate to say she feels uncomfortable around them… / Well, if you want to know more, why don’t you ask her herself?

Kanemitsu: It seems the president is currently trying to apologize for what she did by means of a welcoming party. / You’ll be there, right?

Kyouya: Why would I want to go to a welcoming party?! / I told you, I want to leave the club!
Kanemitsu: Do you really think it wise to blow off the president’s attempts to atone?

Kyouya: What, exactly, are you implying?!
Kanemitsu: Calm down and think things through.

Kanemitsu: You’ve seen how far she’s willing to go. / So what do you think will happen if you turn down an invitation made in good faith?

Kanemitsu: If she feels like it, President Reiri / can both prevent you from leaving the club and deny you Life. Your life would become a living hell.

p26:
Kanemitsu: When she bows her head, it’s to your advantage to do as she asks. / If you don’t, you’ll only leave me with more stuff to clean up. / <aside: And I still have 10% of my own duties left to do… >
Kyouya: Exactly what part of this is an “apology”? Oy!!

Kyouka: All you have to do is stay out of trouble at Life School. / I’ll take care of finding a way to fix everything, so please just try to stay strong until then.

Kyouya: That’s right. I can’t fail Kyouka-nee-san. / The most important thing to me is making sure I can get Life, so… / Very well… I’ll go to the welcoming party.

Kanemitsu: Good. We’re having the party at Takabayashi’s resort home in Kyuushuu.
Kyouya: <aside: But we’re in Tokyo… > / Huh?

p27:
Kyouya: Uwah!!

Kyouya: Uh….

p28:
Kyouya: You’ve gotta be kidding me!!
Kanemitsu: Once again, I’d like to invite you to the welcoming party, newcomer!

Box: Left behind

p29:
Box: Kyuushuu

Takabayashi: Hah…

p30:
Takabayashi: Hah… When you’re beat, nothing beats a hot spring.

Sumomo: And your family’s hot spring is amazing, Takabayashi!

Sumomo/Kanemitsu: <asides: Yeah, yeah! We should have a meeting here at least once a week! / As long as the President continues to cover the helicopter fare and other expenses, I have no objections.

Kyouka: Heaven? / No, this is hell! This is a living hell!

p31:
Kyouka: I can’t believe I forgot that, at a hot spring, everyone’s going to enter naked! / And despite their personalities, everyone has triple-S class faces and bodies! / I need to think up an excuse to get out of here, fast!

p32:
Kyouya: Uh—umm, guys—I mean, girls, I’m getting kind of thirsty, so if you’ll excuse me…

Takabayashi: Wait.

Takabayashi: It’s one of the duties of a host to attend to the needs of her guests.

Sumomo: Huh?
Kanemitsu: Guess it’s because of the welcoming party. She’s not normally the type to do something like that.

Kanemitsu: Maybe she really dose feel bad about what happened…

Takabayashi: Hey, is someone there? Bring us something to drink!
Kyouya: <aside: Ah, she’s just going to ask a maid to do it. >
Sumomo: <aside: Well, what’d’ya expect? >
Kanemitsu: <aside: For her, this is still really impressive. >

p33:
Kanemitsu: At any rate, it’s really rare for Reiri to act to help others.

Kanemitsu: Don’t you that should mean something to you?

Kyouya: Takabayashi…
Takabayashi: <aside: Huh? “Wasabi-flavored milk”? What is this… >
Kyouya: Reiri… huh.

Kyouya: Yeah… Everyone always says people are fundamentally good.

Kyouya: At any rate… I guess I can accept her goodwill / For now, I just need to say in control… In control…!!
Sumomo: <aside: You freezing that much? You’re gonna catch a cold!

Takabayashi: Oh by the way, you know…
Kyouya: Huh?

p34:
Takabayashi: What are you doing wearing a hairband in the hot spring?

p35:
<no text>

p36:
Kyouya: W—well, / you see… err…

p37:
Kyouya: <aside: My Life count is falling… >

Takabayashi: Ugyahhhhh!! What the hell?!
Kyouya: P—please, wait! I can explain—just give me back the hairband!

Takabayshi: Huh? / What are you…

Takabayashi: Kyahh! My eyes!! Don’t come any closer!!
Sumomo: <aside: That must have hurt… >
Kyouya: Fine, but first I need you to give that back! I’m losing all of my Life—ahhhh!

Kyouya: Huh?

p38:
<no text>

p39:
Takabayashi: Gyahhhhhhhh!!!

p40:
Takabayashi: Wow… This is my first time meeting an Original Taker… I didn’t think they were real.
Kyouya: Please, I’m begging you—don’t tell anyone!! If everyone finds out, I’ll be kicked out of school!

Kyouya: And if I get kicked out of Life School, I won’t be able to obtain Life, / and I’ll die!
Kanemitsu(?): <aside: So they really do die when their Life hits 0. >

Kanemitsu(?): So, why did you become a woman?
Kyouya: It’s like I told you—it’s a side effect, and there’s nothing I can do about it!

Kyouya: I don’t know anything about being a Taker. And my abilities… well…!! I didn’t choose this; I had to make a contract with a Sorcery Device to survive! / I’ll do whatever you ask, so please!!

p41:
Kanemitsu: Then act like a dog.

Kanemitsu: Now act like a certain electric animal
Kyouya: <aside: Wow, nice! >

Kanemitsu: Impressive, but meaningless. / The President’s the one who will decide your fate.
Kyouya: Then what was the point of all that?! / <aside: Meanie! >

Kyouya: Won’t you talk to her for me, Tsurumi-san? / Please, have mercy… Please!!

Kanemitsu: Me? Why should I? There’s not even a penny in it for me.
Kyouya: Is money the only thing you care about?

Takabayashi: You want her to plead for you? Don’t make me laugh.

p42:
Takabayashi: You just couldn’t get enough, could you?! / You even went so far as to harass my breasts with your p-penis, you worthless beast!

Takabayashi: You should be thankful I didn’t chop off your head for that! / You should stop breathing, lest your very breath rot the air around you!
Kyouya: <aside: Are you trying to tell me to die? >

Kyouya: This—this is all just a big misunderstanding… It’s just a side effect of the Sorcery Device…
Takabayashi: Silence! Don’t even breathe! I don’t care about a man’s problems!

Takabayashi: No matter what, no men! They are forbidden! / I will never allow them in the honorable First Student Council!

p43:
Kanemitsu: That is quite disappointing.
Takabayashi: And why is that?!
Kyouya: <aside: Please, save me… I’ll do anything.>

Kanemitsu: He is Igarashi Yuma’s cousin, is he not? I feel like we could use that fact to our advantage. However, if you insist…

Takabayashi: Well, yes, but he’s a man!!
Kanemitsu: And yet, half of him is a woman. Don’t you think we can work something out?

Kanemitsu: If you would be willing, President, / we could do this… and that… and that, too…

Takabayashi: Hey, are you really willing to do anything?
Kyouya: Yes! I’d be glad to!!!

p44:
Takabayashi: Then go, and bring us embarrassing photos of Igarashi Yuma! / We’ll decide what to do next on how you perform!

Kyouya: Huh?

(note: Yuuma’s name (優麻) can be read as either Yuuma or Yuma; for some reason, the gloss the author gives on her name is Yuma in this chapter, but was Yuuma in chapter 0. I’m keeping it as Yuuma for now for consistency’s sake, but if ch2 uses Yuma as well, I’ll probably switch)

(also, I've switched to using Sorcery Device instead of Magical Vessel)

p1:
Upper right: Chapter 1 / Let’s Go to the First Student Council!
Upper left: He looks exactly like a girl…?

p2:
Kyouya: Uu…. uh… / Ugh… uh…

Kyouya: I… I can’t… seem to get… this… damn thing on… / And it’s so uncomfortable; how do girls put up with it?

Yuuma: OK, there we go.
Kyouya: Yuuma-nee-san, thank you.

Yuuma: You can’t even clasp shut one hook on your bra by yourself… What am I going to do with you?

p3:
Yuuma: How do you think you’re going to manage in a school for SAI takers, a Life School? Are you really going to be all right?
Kyouya: At what point did I say I was going to be all right? I kept saying it was impossible!

Kyouya: But… Kyouka-nee-san was so insistent, and…

Kyouka: Fortunately, your body is in a state of perfect health!

Kyouka: You’re the spitting image of a perfectly healthy young lady!
Kyouya: How exactly is that “fortunate”?

Mizuho: Really, I’m shocked by how perfect the transition was. I never knew Artemis had this ability.

Mizuho: At any rate, this change shouldn’t overly impact your daily life, so until we can come up with a countermeasure you’ll just have to make do, OK?
Kyouya: Don’t you think this’ll be a bit of a problem?!

p4:
Kyouka: I’m certain we’ll think of something! But more importantly, Kyou-chan… there’s a few things I need you to watch out for.
Kyouya: Wait, what?! I thought you said my body was fine!

Kyouka: It’s because your body is fine that I need to tell you these things.

Kyouka: For instance… stuff like… periods…

Kyouya: Per-per-periods?!?! What do you mean, periods?! Huh? Huh?
Kyouka: <aside: A little help here? Anyone? > / It’s just the sort of thing you have to be aware of if you’re going to live life as a girl!

Kyouka: Once you get used to tampons and stuff, it’s not that big of a deal! There’s a lot of stuff to help you get through that time of the month…
Kyouya: <aside: I… I think I’m gonna faint…>

Kyouka: I don’t think this’ll be a problem, but I thought I should mention it… / if you have a period, that means… well…

p5:
Kyouka: You… can probably… give birth, right? So make sure not to let your curiosity get the better of you and do something you’d regret, OK? / <aside: Don’t do it! >
Kyouya: I’d rather die!

Kyouya: I’m a boy, dammit! A boy!! So stop trying to terrify me!!
Kyouka: Of course I believe you, Kyou-chan. But the world can be a very scary place…

Kyouka: Sometimes… even if a girl doesn’t want it… she can be forced to do things and become pregnant, so…
Kyouya: <aside: Did you have to put it like that?>

Kyouka: Well, enough joking around. / This next part is very important, so listen closely.
Kyouya: <aside: Jokes? That was a joke? / I don’t think anything could surprise me now… >

Kyouka: We’re going to have you pose as a SAI Taker and transfer to Life School Tokyo.

p6:
[SAI: 3-A Igarashi]

So this is an educational facility specializing in the development of SAI Takers… / The Life School Tokyo…

p7:
Yuuma: Well, there’s a lot of things you’ll have to watch out for, / but the plan itself seems solid.

Yuuma: If you want to hide your true identity as an Original Taker / while learning how to obtain the Life you need to survive… / I can’t think of any better way than for you to transfer here as a SAI Taker. / After all, SAI Takers can get as much Life as they want for free!

Kyouka: No one from outside the company will know that you’ve made a contract with a Sorcery Device. / Just be patient for a little while longer. Can you do it for me, Kyou-chan?

Kyouya: I… I don’t know if I can really do this.

Yuuma: You’re a Taker now, right? So you can control Life! / So just use it to move your SAI around, and…
Kyouya: That’s not what I meant.

p8:
Kyouya: I’ve spent my entire life as a normal person who looked up to the SAI… / I don’t know if I’m worthy of living the same life as those elites-of-the-elite…

Yuuma: I know you can do it, Kyou-chan!

Yuuma: I, Igarashi Yuuma, guarantee it / as one of those “elites”.

Yuuma: You don’t have to worry about a thing! I’m sure you’ll become good friends with everyone!

Kyouya: Alright! Let’s do it! / Let’s become an admired SAI Taker!

p9:
Kyouya: I’m gonna fit in perfectly! (as a girl)

Box: After School

Kyouya: I’m not fitting in that well… / Are they ignoring me because I’m a transfer student?

p10:
Kyouya: Well, there was no way I was going to get the atmosphere right on the first day… / Tomorrow, I’m seriously going to manage to fit in! / <aside: Yeah / Tomorrow’s the real deal >

Sasamori: Ah, Nanase-san, could I have a moment?
Kyouya: Y-yes!

Kyouya: Sa—Sasamori-sensei?
Sasamori: Why are you so surprised?
Box: Class 2-C’s Homeroom Teacher, Sasamori Koi

Kyouya: Ah, that’s, well, umm, I mean…
Sasamori: By the way, I almost forgot to tell you…

Sasamori: Since you just transferred here from a normal school, / this is your first time in a Life School, right?
Kyouya: Ah, yes, it is…

p11:
Sasamori: So, that means you need to pick out a club.

Sasamori: At a Life School, club activities is an important part of your education which will resonate with you all the way until you graduate.
Kyouya: Ah, I had heard that.

Sasasmori: Here, in addition to classes, we have a curriculum / which combines students from all three years in order to give them live combat experience.
Kyouya: Yes; I’ve heard that’s what makes Life Schools different from normal schools…

Sasamori: That curriculum completely revolves around the various clubs. / A club president takes responsibility for others in the three grades, and forms a team. / The club president also doles out the Life you’ll need to complete the school’s missions, so club activities will extremely influence how you do here.
graph: top: Club President
circle: Life
Arrow: Hands out
bottom: Mission Successful

p12:
Sasamori: The more valuable your club is, the more Life you’ll be allotted, so make sure to make your choice carefully! / By the way, is there a club you were interested in?

Kyouya: Of course I do! / Ah, well, I was thinking of joining the Student Council, since my cousin’s in it…
Sasamori: Really?

Sasamori: The Student Council, huh… So you’re the really ambitious type? / Well, the club rooms are in the other building, so why don’t you head over?

Sasamori: And there’s a lot of other high-valued clubs besides the Student Council, you know.
Kyouya: Ah, yes… Thank you for the advice.

p13:
Kyouya: Wow… / The building’s really impressive.

Kyouya: But Yuuma-nee-san said I should head for the Student Council…

Kyouya: Where is it, where is it… / Student Council, Student Council…

p14:
Sign: upper right: New Club Members’ Grand Reception
Center: This is the First Student Council

Kyouya: This—this is the student council?! / What a weird way of telling people where they are…

Kyouya: Um, excuse me…
(?): Ah, yes!

Kyouya: Is this the Student Council?
(?): Yes! This is the First Student Council!

p15:
Kyouya: She’s so cute… / To be honest, I was hoping to join…
(?): Then please, come on in…

(?): Wow! Lucky! I can’t believe we found a new person to join us so soon!

(?): Welcome to the luxurious, gorgeous, fantastic, delicious First Student Council! Please, enjoy!

(?): Come in, come in! You can’t lose anything just by looking!
Kyouya: Ah, thank you…

p16:
Hey, Chairwoman! I’ve found someone who wants to join our club!

(?): Really? / And she looks quite promising.

p17:
(?): This, the First Student Council, / is a place where those who seek to be the greatest gather!

p18:
Kyouya: She’s so beautiful!

Kyouya: So this is the Student Council of a Life School?!

p19:
Takabayashi: And of course, I am

Takabayashi: the Chairwoman of the First Student Council, Takabayashi Reiri!
Kyouya: <aside: What an impressive person! >
Takabayahi: And we are like a vast ocean, ready to accept all who come with open arms!

(?): Do you need an application? We can process it over here.
Kyouya: <aside: Ah, yes…>
Takabayashi: Hey! How rude! Don’t interrupt the chairwoman while she’s talking!

(?): Well, it didn’t seem like your monologue had much of a point.
Takabayashi: What?! This place is for me, by me, and mine and mine alone!

(?): What are you doing?

(?): Shouldn’t you be / submitting your application?

p20:
Kyouya: Ah, yes… but…

Kyouya: Would this happen to be all of the club members?

(?): What of it? Is there a problem with the First Student Council having a policy of only accepting the best?
Kyouya: <aside: no, no, no > / Of course not; that’s not what I meant…

Kyouya: It’s just, well, I was told that my cousin was in the Student Council; I was wondering if she was going to show up soon…

(?): Oh? Your cousin… Who might that be?

Kyouya: Her name’s Igarashi Yuuma.

p21:
Takabayashi: Ah, Igarashi! You mean the Igarashi who’s one of the greatest members of my club!
(?): That’s right! The Igarashi-san who just stepped out for a minute!!
Kyouya: <aside: Ah, so that’s it… >

Kyouya: Though, actually… / <aside: Huh? I thought that… >

Kyouya: I had heard that Yuuma-nee-san was the chairwoman of the Student Council… / But then how are you also the chairwoman…

p22:
Takabayashi: TWIIIIINNNNNNN / LEADER SYSTEEEMMMMMMM!!!!

Takabayashi: In order to create a Student Council fair and open to all students, we select two chairpersons! / This creates a democratic system similar to that of a ruling party and opposition party in the real political world!!
Kyouya: <aside: Political world? >

Takabayashi: One must always be on guard against the threat of tyranny! / While acting as checks against each other, the two of us can properly guide the students along their path! / That itself is what allows us to help young students become individuals who can improve the world!
Kyouya: <aside: Wow… So there’s two… >

p23:
Kyouya (big font): I’m not quite sure what’s going on… / but I can feel… some warmth… it’s the real thing.
Takabayashi (small font, in the middle): Understand? / That… is the pride of the First Student Council!!

(?): So, will you apply? / The Life School’s computers will shut down in five minutes, so…

(?): If you don’t make up your mind until after the computers shut down, you’ll make us late getting home, so…
Kyouya: Ah, if that’s the case, then I’ll apply right now. / <aside: I’m sorry! >

Takabayashi: <aside: I was brilliant! >
(?): <aside: You weren’t that good. >
Kyouya: <aside: Apply, apply… >

Kyouya: So, what do I need… My name… and ID… / Ah, I can just have the rest get filled in automatically.

Kyouya: So my name’s listed as Nanase Kyou, huh. Gender: female. / That’s Kyouka-nee-san for you; she doesn’t miss a beat.

(?): You need to sign here… Your fingerprint will do as well. / <aside: Your thumbprint, please.>
Kyouya: Ah, OK.

p24-25:
Yuuma: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO / OOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

(?): Don’t do it, Kyou-chan!!
Yuuma: Don’t press downnnnnnnn!!!!

Takabayashi: Igarashi!! / Yuuma?!

(?): Tch / <aside: We were almost there, too… >

Kyouya: Yuuma-nee-sa…

p26:
(?): Whoa…

p27:
Takabayashi: Club application complete!!

Yuuma: What—what—what—what….!!

Yuuma (top bubbles): Who do you think you’re trying to fool, / Takabayashi Reiri?!!!
Takabayashi (bottom bubles): Now my Student Council is one step closer to completion. / Would you like to join us in celebrating the arrival of our newest member, Chairwoman of the Plebian Student Council?

p28:
Yuuma: How dare you call it the Plebian Student Council?! Mine is the only real Student Council!

Yuuma: Putting “First” at the front of your name is a pathetic trick! You haven’t even gotten authorization from the school! / You can’t just start adding numbers to things all by yourselves!
Takebayashi: <aside: Aww, look at the little puppy whine because she’s lost. >
(?): <aside: It is quite a sight. >

Kyouya: There are two Student Councils? / But then, what does that make this…

p29:
Takabayashi: Weren’t you listening? This is the First Student Council. / We take everyone in—and let no one out.

Takabayashi: It is the strongest club in all of Life School Tokyo, for it is headed by me, Takabayashi Reiri, and I am perfect! / You may puff out your chest and walk with pride, for now you too are a member!
Yuuma: <aside: Ah, my head… >
Kyouya: <aside: Nee-san! >

Yuuma: Why / did you submit an application?!

p30:
Kyouya: Well, I mean… I thought it was the real Student Council, and, well…
Yuuma: And why would you think something that stupid?! Of all the places you could have gone, why’d you have to go there?!

Kyouya: Well, if it’s that bad, can’t I just quit?
Yuuma: No, you can’t! That’s why I’m so pissed off!

Yuuma: Once you join a club, for the first semester / you can’t quit unless the club president gives you permission!
Kyouya: <aside: What?! / But—but that’s… >

Yuuma: We were trying to keep you from standing out! Now what do we do?!
Kyouya: I’m—I’m sure if we explain things fully, she’ll let me leave.

p31:
Kyouya: It’s not like she has a particularly good reason to want me in her club…
Yuuma: Why are you so naïve?! This is Takabayashi we’re talking about!

Yuuma: Now that she knows you’re my cousin, of course she’s going to bite down as hard as she can!
Kyouya: <aside: Bite… bite down? Isn’t that a little… > / Are you guys that bad of enemies?

Yuuma: It’s not a matter of “friends” or “enemies”. That is the First Student Council, created by a bomb-like bunch of bitches who even the school itself has given up doing anything about! / And worst of all, they reject the authority of the proper student council and, against all regulations, are attempting to usurp its authority for themselves! They really are a den of evil!
Banner: The Full Den of Evil

Yuuma: The old, real student council won’t recognize them, so they just form their own?! / And putting “First” on the front of their name, just to make it sound like they’re the real thing? And spreading rumors that they are?!
Kyouya: <aside: 100 times more nervous >

p32:
Yuuma: The self-styled Student Council Chairwoman, Takabayashi Reiri!! / Wearing the mantle of the powerful Takabayashi Family, she uses her assets and Life to turn all those around her into slaves. She’s a sadistic witch who loves treating others as her puppets! / She’s the worst bitch of the century, one who’s willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals!
Box: Takabayashi Reiri
Height: 162 cm
B 85 / W 54 / H 84

p33:
Box: Kanemitsu Tsurumi / Height: 151 cm / B 75 / W 52 / H 79

Yuuma: At her right arm stands the girl known as Kanemitsu Tsurumi. She’s the one who finds her targets’ weaknesses. If she takes one snap at you, she’ll get you for everything you’ve got. / There are countless students whom she has used her money to harass and assault until they could no longer stay in school.

p34:
Box: Izawa Sumomo / Height 162 cm / B 94 / W 56/ H 86

Yuuma: And on her left is her loyal and devoted servant Izawa Sumomo. She might look stupid, but she’s a terrifying fighter who earned the nickname “Destroy”. / Even amongst the talented people gathered here at Life School Tokyo, she’s in class of her own! Once she gets angry, there’s no way to stop her! And she fights like a mad dog!

p35:
Yuuma: Their club members are nothing more than live sacrifices who spend their days crying and screaming in a living hell! / That’s what you’ve gone and stuck your own neck into, Nanase Kyouya!

Yuuma: What do you think you’re going to do? The club president gets to decide who gets all of the Life her club is allotted—the Life you need to survive! / Now that you’ve joined, you can’t even get a single unit of Life without her permission!
Kyouya: <aside: That… that might be really bad. >

Kyouya: But… you know,

Kyouya: They didn’t really seem like that bad of people. And Takabayashi-san especially seemed like a very graceful woman... / <aside: So I’m sure she’d understand if we just explained… >

p36:
Kyouya: <aside: You’re shocked!! >

Yuuma: Wait, what?! Are you taking her side now? Is that how it is?! / Why?! Do you not believe me, or something?
Kyouya: I—I’m not really supporting her!!

Kyouya: It’s just, when I think back to my first impression of her… yeah.

p37:
Yuuma: Was it that good?

Yuuma: She kissed you… And she looks pretty… That’s all that matters, right? She has grace? What is this, love at first sight?
Kyouya: What—what—what are you saying, Nee-san?! / I’m not saying that at all! I’m not!

Kyouya: And besides, I’m a girl now, right?! I mean, the Chairwoman was just trying to make a stupid joke about love between women, or something…
Yuuma: What was that? Did you just call her “Chairwoman”?

Yuuma: She kissed you to get you to join her club! That’s all she wanted! You’re horrible, Kyou-chan!!
Kyouya: You’ve—you’ve got it all wrong! I just got a little careless after she kissed me, is all… OK?

p38:
Yuuma: I can’t believe I misjudged you, Kyou-chan! You get kissed by someone like her, and then all you can do is gape?! / I don’t care about you anymore! Just do whatever the hell you want! / <aside: And I won’t make dinner for you tonight, either! >

Kyouya: <aside: Oww > / What… what did I do wrong? / Things were fine until a moment ago… Nothing makes sense in Tokyo…

p39:
Kyouya: Still… She was really pretty, huh… / I can still feel the soft touch of her lips…

Kyouya: Huh?! / What’s going on?!

Kyouya: My breasts are suddenly… / No, it’s like a fever coming from deep within me! / What is this sensation?!
Narrator: That’s right!

Narrator: This is another side effect of the Sorcery Device Artemis / which Ichikawa Mizuho could not predict!

p40:
Narrator: While in the form of a woman, whenever “that day” nears, / the user enters an irresistibly intense state of estrus.

Kyouya: What’s… going on? I can... barely… breathe… / And I feel… I feel really strange….!!

Kyouya: I… I need to get to the lab… / and see Ichikawa-san…

Takabayashi: And look, there’s our newest member!

p41:
Takabayashi: What’s the rush? I’m sorry, but I just can’t let you leave just yet. / How are we supposed to have a welcoming party for our new club member when the girl herself isn’t there?

Takabayashi: You said you were Igarashi Yuuma’s little cousin, right? / That is such joyous news! I’m sure we’re going to have so much fun together doing all sorts of stuff.
Kyouya: Um, well… I’m not feeling that good, so…
Takabayashi: I really can’t allow such an uncreative excuse, either.

Takabayashi: But where exactly feels so bad? / Won’t you tell me? Let me give you a proper examination!

Kyouya: Please… I’m begging you… / Let me go… please…

p42:
Takabayashi: Oh I get it I get it. You just want me to let you leave. / Then why don’t I do exactly that?

Kyouya: So you’re going to stop… right?
Takabayashi: ‘Course I am! Just as soon as I grow tired of massaging you!

Narrator: Yes, while in this state of estrus…

p43:
Narrator: She is like an animal in heat.

p44:
Izawa: Bwah?

Takabayashi: What—what are you…?!

p45:
Takabayashi: Kyah!

p46:
Kyouya: I love you… Chairwoman… / So please… please…

Kyouya: Please let this continue… until we grow tired…
Takabayashi: Wait—wait—wait…

Takabayashi: I’m sorrrrryyyyyy!!!

(chapter number given as -1 because Mangahelpers doesn't like 0 as a chapter number)

p1:
“SAI”. That is the interface which stores the miraculous new form of energy known as “Life” / and allows its users to synchronize with and use that energy.

People who synchronize with SAI use Life to surpass the limits of mankind. / They can enter the spaces between time, the “Gaps in Time”, / the only places where Life can be gathered.

And those people who can harvest Life, a priceless resource, / who can control SAI, are known as…

p2-3:
[title]: SAI: Takers / The Two Artemises

[box on left]: SAI Takers, and are highly respected members of society.
[upper left]: Chapter 0: Prologue

p4:
What, exactly, are SAI Takers? / They are the people who can use SAI, the technology that allows humans to utilize Life.

Those chosen few utilize powerful computational abilities to synchronize with SAI, / which transforms Life into a form the Taker can absorb and control. / This allows the Taker to gain superhuman strength or similar special abilities; however, the most impressive change is that…

They can enter the “Gaps in Time”, which normal humans can’t even observe. There, they act as superheroes, fighting the native monsters and securing Life.

p5:
Life can cure all kinds of diseases, extend one’s lifespan, and is a valuable energy.
Kyouya: Even a child knows that much… <coming out of his mouth: yawn >
But only SAI Takers can gather the resource from the Gaps in Time.

Teacher: Nanase-kun, does my class make you that tired?
Kyouya: <aside: Sh… dammit. > / I’m—I’m sorry.

Kyouya: My name is Nanase Kyouya. / <aside: This is bad, this is bad! >

Kyouya: I’m just your average 15-year-old high school student / who looks up to the SAI Takers.

Extras: Hey, wanna play a game? / Yeah!

Kyouya: But we can only experience their life through games. / After all, not everyone can become a SAI Taker.

Extra: So, did you see the news? / Ah, you mean the bus crash where he saved all those people’s lives?

p6:
Extra: Yeah! They were so cool! SAI are the greatest! / He just picked everyone off and jumped so far, it looked like he was flying!

Kyouya: How long has it been / since Life and SAI Takers become normal, even in Japan?

Kyouya: They are more than just talented individuals—they’re the world’s heroes.

Kyouya: Of course, there’s a perfectly good reason for that.

p7:
Kyouya: Only SAI Takers / can obtain the most valuable resource in the world, Life.

Kyouya: Even I am the same as everyone else, dreaming of becoming a SAI Taker. / But unfortunately, I don’t have the slightest bit of compatibility with SAI.

Kyouya: And besides, as long as I’m at home I can’t just pine after SAI as much as I want.
Kyouya: I’m home!

Kyouka: Wow! Welcome home, Kyou-chan!
Kyouya: That’s thanks

p8:
Kyouka: Nice timing! I was just about to take a bath! / You’ll help me shampoo my hair like always, right?

Kyouya: to this woman. / I’m home, Kyouka-nee-san!

[inset]: Igarashi Kyouka. / She took me in after my parents died. I owe her my life.
Yuuma: Onee-chan! You should take your baths by yourself!

[inset]: She is something most people don’t even know exists: / an Original Taker.
Kyouka: But we’re both fine with it, so what’s the problem?

p9:
Original Takers / are the origin of the SAI Takers, who can only exist in the world’s shadows.

They form a contract with the mysterious equipment known as Magical Vessels, and are reborn / as beings who without the aid of SAI can absorb Life directly into their bodies. As long as they don’t run out, they will never die.

Box: After mankind succeeded in creating SAI Takers , the originals were forbidden to reveal themselves to the world, are heavily regulated and controlled, and have lost their freedom.
<aside: You jealous? >
Yuuma: Kyou-chan’s already 15 years old!
Kyouka: And he never tries to sneak a peek at you. Maybe because you’re unattractive?
Box: Of course, forming a contract with the Magical Vessel, just as the word suggests, means one must consign himself to darkness.

p10:
Kyouka: Kyou-chan! I’ll be getting in first, OK?
Box: They are forced to be the scapegoats for the SAI Takers they created with their own hands.

Box: Knowing that, I can’t just go around praising them 24/7.
Kyouka: If you’re that jealous, why don’t you join us?
Yuuma: Can’t you listen to what I’m saying?!

Kyouya: But still… if I had one of those Magical Vessels… / maybe I could become a taker, too?

Kyouya: Are you in the bath, Nee-san?
Kyouka: I am, I am!

p11:
Kyouka: Heyya! / Please treat me nice—and—gen—tle!

Kyouya: <aside: Dammit. > / Alright, so just turn your back already!
Kyouka: <aside: Awww~ > / What, are you embarrassed?

<aside: You want your normal shampoo? / Yeah. >

Box: To be honest, it didn’t really matter to me whether or not she was a Taker.

p12:
I just want to thank her / as a person.

Kyouka: Oh, yeah, Kyou-chan, / at work, Takabayashi and I managed to create a new type of SAI.
Kyouya: Huh? A new type of SAI?

Kyouka: I managed to get permission from the supervisor for you to take a look… Wanna come see?
Kyouya: Huh? Really?!

Kyouya: I—I mean, I don’t know if I should go all the way out there to see…

p13:
Kyouka: You don’t have to decide right away. I know you don’t have much aptitude with SAI, but… / the new type works with more people, so maybe you’ve got a chance.
Kyouya: Re—really? Well then… maybe I should go…

Kyouya: A—a new type of SAI?! Of course I want to go see!

Kyouka: Uhi! Oww! Not so hard, Kyou-chan!
Kyouya: I—I’m sorry!

p14:
Kyouya: Uh—umm, Kyouka-san…

Kyouya: Your—your breasts… err… / Could you just… sink down a little more?
Kyouka: Huh?

Kyouka: What’s with you, all of a sudden? We’ve taken baths together since you were little, right?
Kyouya: And isn’t that weird?

p15:
Kyouka: What’s so wrong about it?

Kyouka: You want to look, don’t you? So look as much as you want. / We’re family, after all; there’s no reason to be embarrassed.

p16:
Kyouya: Yu… Yuuma-nee-san?!
Yuuma: Stop it right there! Kyouya, get out!

Kyouya: But—but I haven’t finished washing her hair!
Yuuma: Don’t worry about it—just get out! / <aside: Shut up! Just get out! Get out! >

Kyouka: <aside: Tch>

Kyouka: What? Are you really that jealous? / <aside: Heh> / Wow… I really didn’t think you would…

p17:
Yuuma: Maybe I should join you too, sis! It’s been so long! / We need to be physically close, too! Yes! We’re so close! This is how it should be!
Kyouka: Kyah!! It’s getting in my eyes! Stop! Oww!

Yuuma: Kyou-chan isn’t a little kid anymore! / So stop asking him to help you in the bath!!

Yuuma: If I ever catch you doing this again, / I won’t let you eat, even if it kills you!
Kyouka: <aside: Fine... >

p18:
Life, Inc. Research Annex

(?): Wow… I can’t even tell them apart. / I can barely tell it’s a copy. / We don’t care about the shape—we care about its capabilties and side effects.

Mizuho: The more I learn about the Magical Vessels, the more intriguing they become. / To be honest, what I’m really interested in is the contracting algorithm…

Mizuho: We manage to reproduce the arrangement that allows one to use Life with SAI, / but to tell the truth, what our little trick can accomplish is nothing before the real thing.

Mizuho: Ah, but this mysterious gap between science and religion… / Doesn’t it just make you feel so excited?!

p19:
Mizuho: But why do you want to mass produce the Magical Vessels? / Man, our company really doesn’t know when to give up. / We’ve already made SAI, after all.
Kyouka: SAI will never be nothing more than a minor version of the Magical Vessels.

Kyouka: Our ultimate goal is to match the power used by the Original Takers.
Mizuho: Well, they’d certainly be useful in order to exterminate the Taurus.

Mizuho: Those damn terrorist jerks, who use the power of a Taker for their own personal gain.

Mizuho: I get it… If this mass-produced Magical Vessel is successful, / then there’d be a lot of Takers supporting justice who are aligned with the government.

Mizuho: And if that happens, you’d get to work in the light of day, right, Kyouka?

p20:
Yuuma: Wow! Life INC’s research facilities are as impressive as I thought they’d be.
Kyouya: Well of course! They’re the first company in the world to start making practical use of Life. / Kyouka-nee-san must be amazing to be able to work here!

Kyouya: But I didn’t think you would join me, Yuuma-nee-san.
Yuuma: What are you saying? This is about SAI Takers, right?

Yuuma: I can’t pass up a chance to see a new type of SAI!
Kyouya: Really?

Kyouya: It’d be nice, if I could use it…
Yuuma: Huh?

p21:
Yuuma: I—I know you’ll be able to, Kyou-chan! / Don’t give up already!

Kyouya: It’s fine! I’ve already come to terms with it.
Kyouka: Ah.

Kyouya: It just wasn’t meant to be. / But you can use it, Yuuma-nee-san! You’re so cool!

Yuuma: Sh—shut up! I told you not to give up so easily! / We’re going to see the new type, right?

p22:
Kyouya: We came here just to see the SAI, so why all of these aptitude tests? / Kyouka-nee-san doesn’t wait around, does she?

Mizuho: His compatibility rating isn’t that low… so why can’t he use SAI?
Kyouka: I don’t know… He’s certainly interested in them…

Kyouka: At any rate, I just want / to give the boy some confidence.
Mizuho: Hmmm… This is all just a matter of talent.

Mizuho: OK, since it’s your little brother, Kyouka-chan, we’ll do whatever we can. The new type doesn’t require as much calculation as before, after all. / But don’t get your hopes up too much.

p23:
Yuuma: Why does she take Kyouka off by herself and leave me to eat cake?! / She always just does whatever she wants!

Yuuma: <aside: But it’s really good. / *munch* >

Yuuma: Aww, what is it? Did you make Kyou-chan do something else? / I don’t even know why you wanted him to come here?!
Kyouka: Yeah, yeah. But isn’t the cake here really good?

Kyouka: Besidees, it’s not like I asked you to come. / I’m pretty sure I only invited Kyouya…

p24:
Kyouka: Relax, I’m just kidding! / Kyou-chan’ll be here soon, alright?
Yuuma: <aside: It’s fine. I’ll just head on home. >

Kyouka: And then we’ll all go see the new type of…

Kyouka: The wall… exploded?!
Yuuma: What the…

p25:
Taurus: How many guards do they have securing this place? / Dammit… You bastards don’t even know what Life Inc. does, do you?

Taurus: How far will you go to protect your precious little secrets?

p26:
Kyouka: Are these people… / Original Takers…?

Kyouka: Taurus?! / Did they catch the scent of something?!

Taurus: As expected, we’ve found Igarashi Kyouka. She’s alone.
Radio: Copy that.

Kyouka: Yuuma… Run to the far exit. Now!

Yuuma: I can’t! I can’t leave you alone…!! / Let me help!

Kyouka: Listen to me!

p27:
Kyouka: And have some faith / in your big sister.

Kyouka: Got it?!
Yuuma: I’ll make whatever you want for dinner, OK?!

Kyouka: That’s good. / Just keep on running, Yuuma.

p28:
Kyouka: “Believe in me”… man, I must have sounded cool. / But can I really pull this off by myself?

Taurus: You’re by yourself, and heavily outnumbered. / You really want to take on an Original Taker?

Taurus: Even if you are one of the four great Takers that the government keeps as their secret pets, / you must admit this is impossible.

Kyouka: No, not unless you’ve got something else up your sleeve. This is why I’m employed here, after all. / There’s, what, ten of you punks?

Taurus: Wow, look who talks big.

p29:
Taurus: You’re not satisfied with just revealing Life to the world, or giving normal people the powers of a Taker. / Now you want to mass-produce Magical Vessels? Are you serious?!

Taurus: Do you have any idea what that would mean?! / How many people do you intend to guide down the wrong path?!

Kyouka: Don’t act so high and mighty! / All you’re doing is barging into someone else’s house with your shoes on and working to destroy everything!
Taurus: We’re destroying Life, Inc. for the sake of the world!

Kyouka: This is a waste of time. Let’s fight already!

p30:
Kyouka: And let me show you exactly why… / the government keeps us under lock and key!

p31:
Kyouya: What—what is that? Did something happen?
Mizuho: Well, this is just the emergency alarm…

Mizuho: Well, even if we’re under attack, / this place is perfectly safe.

Mizuho: After all, Kyouka is this place’s keeper.

p32:
Taurus: Heh… Hahhah… We’re ten of Taurus’s most elite troops, and…

Taurus: What are you, Igarashi Kyouka?! / Are you some sort of angel? A monster?!

Kyouka: I already told you, didn’t I?

p33:
Taurus: What.. is this… / power…

Kyouka: That you’re just… / a bunch of punks.

p34:
Taurus: Kukuku… / Kuku! Kukukuku!

Kyouka: What’s so funny?
Taurus: You’re so naïve… You’re all so naïve…

Taurus: You really think the world works exactly how you think it does, don’t you? / You figure you can just see through anything?

Taurus: Why do you think… that we were aiming for you, Igarashi?

p35:
Kyouka: Wait… do you mean?
Taurus: Isn’t it obvious? We’re just the bait. / Our job was just to tie you up here.

Taurus: Taurus’s true objective is…

Taurus: Blowing all of the development data / you thought no one knew about to smithereens!

Kyouka: Kyouya?!

p36:
Yuuma: Kyou-chan?! / Onee-chan!!!

p37:
Kyouka: KYOUYAAAAA!!

Kyouka: Kyouya…

Kyouka: Are you alive? Answer me! / Kyouya!!

p38:
Mizuho: Kyou… ka…

Kyouka: Mizuho?!

Kyouka: Mizuho! Kyouya!! / You’re OK, right?!

Mizuho: Looks like I’m alive… somehow…

Mizuho: But your brother… / I don’t think he’s going to make it.

p39:
Kyouka: Kyo…?! / Kyouya!!

Mizuho: At this rate, / he’ll be gone before any help arrives.

Kyouka: Kyo…

p40:
Kyouka: Kyouya!! Please, hang on! This is a joke, right? You can’t be dying!
Mizuho: Calm down! And don’t shake him!

Kyouka: This is… This is a dream, right? This can’t be real…! / I mean… you were alive, just a second ago!

Kyouka: Why do you have to die, Kyouya? / Why?!

Mizuho: Please, Kyouka. I’m begging you… Just calm down…

p41:
Kyouka: Ar… / temis?

Mizuho: Hey, wait! Kyouka?!

p42:
Mizuho: That’s the mass-produced Magical Vessel! We haven’t even properly tested it yet! / It’s not a SAI—it’s a Magical Vessel!

Mizuho: There’s no way of knowing what sort of side effects there will be! And besides… if he forms a contract, he won’t be human anymore! / It’s not like someone becoming a SAI Taker!

Kyouka: I guess… / you don’t think of originals as humans, either.

Mizuho: That’s… That’s not what I meant!

Kyouka: No… I don’t care what you meant. And I don’t care if it turns him into a monster.

p43:
Kyouka: Because right now, / do you think there’s any other way to save Kyouya’s life?!

Kyouka: Answer me, Mizuho!

p44:
Kyouka: Live… Kyouya…

Kyouya: Where… / Where am I?

Kyouya: That’s—that’s right… I remember... / There was an explosion, and I…

p45:
Kyouya: Thank goodness.. It looks like I’m alright…

Kyouya: Everything else… / feels fine, too…

Kyouya: But this feels like a miracle… I can’t believe I survived that explosion…

p46-47:
<no text>

p48:
Kyouya: What?

Kyouya: What? / What?

Kyouya: WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!

p49:
Yuuma: What the… Onee-chan, don’t tell me this is Kyouya…?

Kyouya: Yu—Yuuma-nee-san?!

Yuuma: Boo…

Yuuma: Boobs?! What the hell? Why do you have boobs?!
Kyouya: That’s what I wanna know!

Kyouka: That girl is… Kyou-chan…

Kyouka: He formed a contract with Artemis, and… / became an Original Taker.

p50:
Kyouya: I… am…

Kyouya: an Original?!
Mizuho: <aside: I don’t care anymore… >
Kyouya: What? Why?!
Kyouka: Well—well you see, after the explosion… you were about to die, and, well…

Kyouka: A normal human wouldn’t have had enough regenerative power to overcome those wounds, so… / that’s why I…

Kyouka: had you form a contract with a mass-produced Magical Vessel. / The only way you could survive was as an Orginal Taker.

p51:
Kyouya: But… but that shouldn’t have been possible…. / You told us yourself, Nee-san: a Magical Vessel itself chooses who it will contract with.
Kyouka: These mass-produced types will form a contract with anyone. But in exchange… well…

Kyouka: There seem to have been some side effects…

Kyouya: Side—side effects? Do you mean me becoming like this?!

Kyouya: Is this because I made a contract with a Magical Vessel?! / Tell me! Am I right? I am, aren’t I?!
Kyouka: Bingo!

Kyouka: It might be because the original Magical Vessel we based it on contracted with a woman. / This is probably the work of the skill that lets the Vessel forcefully change its user into a different life form…
Yuuma: <aside: Kuoh… Blood… Blood is rushing to my head…>
Kyouya: So—so that means that I…?!

p52:
Kyouya: That I’m stuck like this forever?!
Mizuho: Just try to think of it as a temporary countermeasure.

Mizuho: We’ll try to find a way to fix things as fast as we can. And moreover, if you take off the Magical Vessel, we’ve already confirmed that you’ll go back to normal.

Kyouya: That’s—that’s great! So I can go back to being a man!
Yuuma: So, where is the Magical Vessel itself?
Mizuho: It usually takes the form of a hairband.

Kyouya: Ah, you mean this?
Yuuma: So, let’s get this off you already!

Kyouka: Kyahhhh!
Yuuma: It really worked!
Kyouya: I’m back to normal!
Mizuho: Hurry up and put that thing back on him!

p53:
Mizuho(?): His Life! His Life is going down!
Kyouya: Huh? What?!
Mizuho(?): What are you doing?! Just put it back on already!

Mizuho: You saw, didn’t you? Normally, the counter only goes down by one each day, but when you become a man, it goes down dozens of times faster!
Kyouka: If it hits zero, you’ll die! That’s what happens to Originals! So make sure to never take it off ever again!

Kyouya: What… What the hell? / Does this mean… that I…

p54:
Yuuma: That he has to live the rest of his life with these things on his chest? / That’s what you’re saying, right?!

Kyouka: I know you’ll think of something, Mizuho. <aside: Right?>
Mizuho:<aside: What?! >
Yuuma: You better do something right now!
