Chapter 1 "Person of Destiny"
Page 4 few hours ago....... //right above the Double Arts Logo
Page 5 BOX: This is "Turm", BOX: a small town located southwest of the empire.
BOX: The starting point BOX: Where you and I first met
BOX: This is story of a certain boy Crowd: Hey, fool, I can't see Crowd: Is that the rumored? Crowd: Eeh? That little girl is a Sister? Crowd: Hey, stop that. SFX: rustle rustle
Page 6 Mother: Um.... Mother: Then please proceed El: Okay
BOX: My name is Elraine BOX: I am a Sister El: Then I'll start the treatment
BOX: "Sister"
BOX: is a special job, established to treat the deadly
disease, BOX: commonly known as [BOLE]"TROY"[BOLD] that is terrifying
the people BOX: all over the world.
Page 7 BOX: People who can give effective treatments to Troy Box: are only us Sisters.
El: Okay, I'm done. Mother: Eh!? SFX: Doki-t!
Mother: Ah....Eh? Mother: You are done? El: Yes Mother: This fast? El: Yes its something like this
Daughter: Daddy got well already? El: Yes, he is okay for now.
Mother: I'm surprised Mother: It was first time seeing a Sister's treatment, Mother: so I imagine something more complex El: haha //small letters next to El SFX: Ta Ta.. //Next to the daugher (running)
Daughter: .....Daddy's illness Daughter: didn't get cured? El: .......um.....sorry El: Us Sisters.... Can make your father get better for a
little while..... El: But cannot cure the sickness completely
El: Do you know.... El: how this illness is spread? Daughter: Um....
Page 9 El: Troy is spread by "touch". El: There's no problem if you touch over a cloth.... El: But it is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact so
you have to be careful.
El: so.... Daughter: huh? Daughter: but sister, you
Daughter: just touched father's hands without your gloves
right? Daughter: are you okay?
El: ..... El: That is us Sister's treatment.
El: When you are infected by Troy, El: The disease spread all over your body and starts to
develop a poison. El: That poison will continue to spread, and once it gets full El: That person goes in a "seizure" and dies. El: Once someone starts a seizure he cannot be saved.
Page 10 El: But thankfully, El: Among females, there are people who have a high resistance
to Troy. El: Those selected people are El: us Sisters.
El: Therefore just by directly touching the patients, El: Sisters can absorb the posion from the patients into their
body.
Mother:..... El: By doing this... El: We are able to lengthen the patients' lifespan.
El: So every single one of us Sisters are already infected
with Troy. El: Even though he claim we can treat troy. SFX: Tahaha....
El: Therefore normally El: Its better to avoid me as much as you can. Mother: ......
Mother: But..... is it okay? Mother: To take the burden of someone else's poison....
El: ....... El: I don't now exactly.....
Page 11 El: But I'll definitely El: won't be able to live up to 20.

BOX: Not just having a strong resistance like Sisters, Box: But someone who don't even get infected by Troy!
Box: If El: If I look closely, there are decorations all over El: are they having a festival?
Box: someone like that is found,
Page 13 BOX: we might be able to conquer this disease!!
SFX: Para SFX: Waa~~~ //next to El. right of thought bubble El: A big picture..... El: [small]a scenary?[small] //small words next to the

Box: Because if we examine that person's body
Boy: The bell is going to ring soon. Boy: Let's wrap up SFX: Oh-!! //bottom left corner of the panel
Box: We will definitely find a key to cure the disease
Box: To be honest Box: I didn't believe in those words until this day came....

stops spreading.... Martha: that's the case right? El: Ye...Yes..... El: ?
Martha: Then there won't be a problem~
Martha: If you guys [Emphasis]KEEP ON[/Emphasis] holding
hands.
Page 26 Kiri&El: .........
Martha: Even though the reason is unknown, Kiri-kun was able
to stop your seizure Martha: Then.... Kiri: Oh.... You are right...! El: Eh? What? What is it?
Kiri: If we hold hands, the seizure might not happen...! Martha: If the seizure doesn't occur, you won't die of Troy.
Martha: You might be able to live on without dying.
El: Re...!! Really!? Kiri: The chances are high! Kiri: You can survive!! El: Yes! Martha: Yes- its very simple! SFX: Ahahaha / Haha....

Page 30 Martha: Let's save the world together Martha: Then please do your best ♥
El&Kiri: ........ / ........
Kiri: Hey hey, this is getting pretty crazy Kiri: And "World".... Isn't that too exaggerated?
El: .....not really.
El: Do you know? El: Ever since Troy was discovered 700 years ago, the total
number of victims El: is over 1 billion.
Kiri: Billi...! El: Long time ago.... During to the time Troy was extremely
widespread, at a certain country El: [Emphasis]TWO THRIDS[Emphasis] of the entire populary El: was wiped out by Troy.
Page 31 El: Even through Sister Organization was created El: And managed stabilize the outbreak by spreading the right
knowledge about Troy El: There are still people worlwide who are suffering from
Troy.

Martha: Please be aware of Marthat: the [BOLD]"Gazelles"[/BOLD]

Page 33 SFX: Dosaaaa Kiri: Ouch!
SFX: Gooooooo //Big words above SFX: Para Para Para //words on the far right. SFX: Garan //Word on bottom right corner Kiri: What...!!
Martha: ....!? Martha: Eh....!?
Kiri: What... Kiri: What is this guy...!! El: Kiri-san!! El: Get up fast and run!! El: Quickly!!
Assasin: You can't get away!! SFX: Bibitt (throwing)
Page 34 SFX: Tan (Knife hitting the wall) SFX: Dosu (Slash) El: Ah Kiri: Wa!

Assasin: ...... Assasin: Chi SFX: Gasha..... Assasin: They got away....
Page 35 Assasin: Ha ha~~~~....
Kiri: For now, I don't think he will find us here. El: Sorry for being a burden Kiri: Nah, we are on the same boat.
Kiri: Anyway before I ask you about this and that, Kiri: We have to treat your wound....Can you show it to me? SFX: Goso Goso (looking through) El: Eh... Yes... El: .....You are unusually calm...
Kiri: The wound seems pretty light, so it should be fine.
[Small]I'll cover it up anyway[/small] Kiri: Okay, Thank you very much SFX: Kyu Kyuu Kyu- (sound of marker) BandAid: Healing
Page 36 Kiri: Anyway that was an Assasin huh~ SFX: Kyu Kyu Kyu~ (marker) El: ....didn't he just write something?
Kiri: It's not something like this eh.... El: No, that's too fancy of an image..... El: [BOLD]WOW, your art is great!!![/BOLD]
Kiri: Anyway, Kiri: Why are you targetted? Kiri: By that "Assasin of the Gazelle"...
El: .....that's something we want to know El: what the Gazelles are thinking.... Kiri: What is that "Gazelle"? Kiri: You were saying it before too
El: Gazelle is the name of the organization El: They are targetting Sisters' lives, El: but we don't know anything other than that.
El: We don't know how many Sisters' lives were lost by them El: even before that, we don't why they want to kill the
Sister. El: Their size or goal..... El: The only thing we know for sure is that every one of their
members are without exception, El: Masters of Combat.
Page 37 El: To be honest, us Sisters do receive personal trainings
from the Church. El: However.... If by any chance we encounter one of them, El: the Church teach us to do only one thing:
El: [BOLD]RUN[/BOLD]
El: [BOLD]RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN[/BOLD]
El: Thats our difference in strength El: Not only that, they never let go of their target El: They persistently hunt us down till the end.
Kiri: Then what are we suppose to do El: you are right El: I was thinking about that
El: ...... El: but... El: I just found an answer.
Page 38 El: I will lure him out Kiri: Ah!?
Kiri: Hey, hey, don't be stupid Kiri: What can you do alone... El: EVEN IF ITS BOTH OF US
El: We can't do anything
Kiri: .......
SFX: Bu-dump El: !!
El: Urgh... Kiri: Hey, you El: Please Don't touch me!!
El: ....[Emphasis]right now[/Emphasis] El: I'm the only one who is being targetted.
Page 39 El: Even though this is just an assumption, El: The reason Gazelles target Sisters is most likely, El: Because we can treat Troy. El: That's the only thing special about Sisters..... El: [BOLD].....then!![/BOLD] El: [BOLD]What about Kiri-san who possess the possibily of a
complete cure from Troy!?[/BOLD]
El: You will be wanted even more!! El: So this is the chance!! El: Unless each one of us go separately.... El: If we stay together, our chance of survival is without
doubt, ZERO!!
Kiri: !? Kiri: What the? Hey, your body....
Kiri: its transparent....!!
Page 40 Kiri: ..... / ...... Kiri: What.....
El: Is did your first time? El: Did you know? The medical term for Troy is... El: [BOLD]"Vanishing Sickness"[/BOLD]
El: When Troy starts a seizure at its final stage, El: our body gets transparent like a glass El: and at the end.... El: we disappear, leaving only our cloths behind.
El: I've withness several people who disappeared liek that El: I've interacted with people who suffered from Troy El: that's why
El: My drean is El: To eradicate Troy from the face of this world.
Page 41 Voice: Hello! Voice: Isn't there anyone who survived!!
Voice: What is this.... Voice: we were too late
Voice: For the entire village Voice: To be wiped out by Troy.
Voice: How tragic Voice: The only survivor is this girl Voice: Sister! Sister Martha! Can you tell if this girl is
infected!?
Martha: .....unfortunetely, she is infected. Martha: but... Martha: maybe her body is suitable
Page 42 Martha: Let's take her to the Church Head Quarters Martha: Maybe she will become a new Sister
SFX: Ha...
El: For ever and ever.... Even before I became a Sister El: that was my only wish
El: Therefore I want Kiri-san El: to stay alive El: to runaway...!
Page 43 El: Please run.... El: and create a world devoid of Troy...
El: Wha....!! El: Wha....!? Kiri: Why do I have to listen to what you say? Kiri: You are just being selfish!!
El: What do you mean selfish! El: I'm just concerned about your life and Kiri: .."so I'll be the sacrifice"!? Kiri: Those kind of stuff makes me want to kill myself!! Kiri: [BOLD]ITS IRRITATING!!![/BOLD] Kiri: [SMALL]KSHAAAAAAA[/SMALL]
SFX: Bu-dump El: Urgh.... El: ...... Kiri: And most importantly... it doesn't seem right
Page 45 Kiri: The world without Troy.... Kiri: aren't you the one who wants to see it the most?
Kiri: You already have... / an option to stay alive with me Kiri: Abandon that possibility Kiri: and becoming a sacrifice Kiri: are you satisfied with....
El: IF ITS POSSIBLE
El: I want to see it...!! El: The world without Troy...!! El: I wan't to be alive till then....!! El: BUT...!!
Kiri: THEN! Kiri: Don't give up when you at least have a 1% chance!! Kiri: "I'll live on no matter what happens!" Kiri: form that determination RIGHT NOW!!
Page 46 - 47 Kiri: I already decided that Kiri: once you hold this hand, Kiri: I'll never let it go!!
Kiri: We will survive no matter what happens Kiri: and travel to the Chuch Head Quarters or whatever!! Kiri: of course, Kiri: BOTH oF US ToGETHER
Kiri: Wether you survive and fulfill the wish Kiri: or die and trust that wish.... Kiri: ......it might not be something I should blab about, but Kiri: didn't you Kiri: want this bad enough to cry in tears?
Kiri: Come Kiri: If you come with me Kiri: I'll definietly figure out something!!
Kiri: I'll lend you a hand Kiri: for your dream.
Page 48 SFX: Dsaaaaan (entrance)
Assasin: ..... Assasin: aa?
Assasin: Wow, wow, what's this? Assasin: Coming out holding hands together. Assasin: What happened? / Did you make up your mind to die?
Page 49 El&Kiri: ...... Kiri: Okay? Here's the plan
Kiri: I'll say this in advance.... but this isn't a plan to
runaway. El: Eeeeeeh!!?
El: Then are you planning to do? El: He isn't an opponent we can win heads on!? El: Not only that, we have to fight in this condition. Kiri: Wa..it... Let's talk first.
Kiri: Just think about it. Our opponent is a professional
assasin. Kiri: Even if we manage to get away right now.... Do you think
he will just give up? Kiri: If he ever sneaks up and come to kill us for real, then
it will be our end for sure. El: ugh...
Kiri: The way he attacked in such a flashy manner shows that
he is making fun of us. Kiri: If that's the case.... Now is the only time we can beat
him! El: ......
Kiri: With that in mind Kiri: I came up with a plan
SFX: Hyuett (sword swinging)
Page 50 SFX: Gawon
SFX: Pakiiit (Hit)
Assasin: ..... Assasin: Hmph..!
SFX: Boon Boon Boon (Sword swing) El: At first, we just have to keep on running.
SFX: Saaaht (dodge)
El: ? El: Wa...? What is this feeling?
Page 51 El: Even though I'm fighting while holding hands, El: I don't feel any restrictions
Assasin: ? Assasin: What are they?
El: No....that's not it El: [BOLD]This person is [BOLD] El: [BOLD]following my movements[/BOLD]...!!
Assasin: Why are they fighting with their hands together Assasin: What are they trying to do?
El: Moving this perfectly with a stranger he met just today El: Is that..... even possible??
El: This person El: What is he!?
Assasin: What is the meaning of that? Assasin: Fu.... well stuff like that
Page 52 Kiri: Be careful of the hand!! Kiri: He is aiming for it!!
SFX: Boon (sword swing) Kiri: Urrgh
Kiri: ..... / .....!! Kiri: that's dangerous....
SFX: Dokaaaaan (hit) Kiri: !
Kiri: ....!! El: Kiri-san!!
Assasin: Huh! What is this? Assasin: Is that hand so important? Assasin: That's such an easy weakness
Assasin: They tried pretty hard for a weakling, but.... Assain: This is--- SFX: Chaut (Switching blade)
Page 53 Assasin: THE END!! SFX: Gooooo t
El: ...!!
Kiri: Let's say for instance..
Kiri: If a person accustomed to battle Kiri: sees us purposely holding hands while fighting, Kiri: he will probably determine that as a weakness with just
a glance
Kiri: If that's the case, then Kiri: let's be open about it
Kiri: We act it out as our weakness and lure out a big attack Kiri: at that moment---
SFX: Paat (letting go)
Page 54 Kiri: Let go of our hands for an instant SFX: Hyuut (Miss) SFX: Pashin (Clap)
Assasin: !? Assasin: What!?
Kiri: If we attack full force towards Kiri: the place he lost his balance SFX: Guoooo
Kiri: It sould at least hurt a little, bit right? SFX: Dooon Assasin: !!
Page 55 Assasin: Arrgh!!! Assasin: Da...
Assasin: Dammit!! SFX: Grin
SFX: Gaat (hit)
Assasin: Urgh... Assasin: Wa!? Assasin: A movement that seems to be perfectly coordinated Assasin: that means...
Assasin: That was--- Kiri: Be careful of the hand!! SFX: Hit
Assasin: a trap!? They set me up!? Assasin: No way!! They are just kids... what are....
SFX: Gaat (hit) Assasin: Ugh
El: To come up with this sort of plan on the fly... El: This person... SFX: Jut
El: This person El: What is-- SFX: Ooooo
Assasin: These kids Assasin: They are
Page 56 Assasin: One---- SFX: Dokaaaa (BIG HIT)
Assasin: Gafu!!!
Page 57 El: What is he
El: Amazing
El: It really worked according to plan El: To work so well SFX: Boro
Page 58 Kiri: Yeah, I never knew it will work this well El: Yes..... El: Whaat!? SFX: Ho (relief) //right under Kiri
El: Wait a minute...!! Weren't you confident that this plan
will work!? Kiri: Well...I was confident, but I was mostly going with the
flow.... El: FLOW!?
BOX: This is BOX: Story of a certain boy El: Wi...! With just that, you put us in that risk!?
//Rightmost El: You were saying something like you will
[BOLD]definitely[/BOLD] do something, right!! //Top left Kiri: Come on, its no probelm. It turned out all right anyway. El: It is a problem!!
BOX: At that time, I still didn't know BOX: the battles that were awaiting us BOX: Nor the "Strange Power" he possesed
BOX: Despite that we met, El: .... what should we do now
El: and changed each other's destiny as the story moved on Kiri: Mmm~ Lets see... Kiri: How about we start of by introducing ourselves? Kiri: You know, something more proper?
Page 59 Kiri: I'm Kiri Ruchiel. Kiri: Kiri is fine

トイレの時もお風呂の時も寝る時も 1 秒たりとも… I forbid you from letting go of each other's hands for even a second...
つないだその手を離す事を 禁じます！ That means even while using the restroom, bathing, and sleeping!
がんばってね ♡ Good luck!

第１話”運命の人” Chapter 1 "Destined soul mate"
p07 数時間前 A few hours before...
p08
ここは // 帝国南西部にある小さな街 “ターム” // 始まりの街 // 君と私が出 会った街 // これはある一人の少年の物語… This is // "Term", a small town in the southwestern branch of the empire. // The town where it began // and where you and I met. // This is a story about a young boy...
おいバカ見えないだろ Hey stupid, I can't see!
あれがうわさの？ So she's who everyone's been talking about?
ええ？ シスターってあんな若ぇ娘がやってんの？ No way?! Are Sisters really girls that young??
Sfx: ザワ *zawa* (noisy)
こらやめなよあんたら Come on, knock it off you two.
p09
あの… ではお願いします Umm... Can we start?
はい Yes
Sfx: パラ *para* (sound of the hood coming down)
私の名前はエルレイン // 巡回僧 (シスター)をやっている My name is Elrain. // I am a traveling monk (Sister).
では治療を始めます I will now start the healing process.
Sfx: ス… *su*
シスターというのは // 今 世界中で猛威をふるっている死の病… /俗に“トロイ” と呼ばれる病気を治療するために結成された What a sister is, // is a group formed to treat the disease commonly known as "Troy". // A deadly disease that has presently caused the whole world a lot of trouble.
Sfx:コト… *koto*
特殊な職業である It's an unique job.
p10
トロイに有効な治療が行えるのは // シスターだけなのだ The only thing effective against Troy // are Sisters.
シスターの治療なんて初めてですから This is my first time seeing a Sister heal and all.
もっと大仰なものを想像してましたけど I had imagined it'd be a bit more excessive.
Sfx:タタ *tata* (running)
お父さん！ Daddy!
p11
触っちゃだめ！！！ Don't touch him!!
Sfx: ビクッ *piku* (surprise)
…お父さんの病気 / 治ったんじゃないの？ ... But isn't daddy / all better now?
……うん…ごめんね Right... I'm sorry.
私達はね…お父さんを少しの間元気にすることはできるけど… / この病気は完全 には治せないの We Sisters... We can make your daddy feel better for a bit but... / This disease is impossible to cure completely.
Sfx:ホッ *ho*
あなたは… / この病気がどうしたら感染っちゃうか知ってる？ Do you know... / How this disease is spread?
う…ん… Umm...
p12
トロイは“触ったら”感染る // 服の上から触ったら 何も問題ないんだけど…// 直接肌と肌が触れたら感染っちゃうから十分気をつけてね // だから… You can catch Troy by "touch". // If you touch him on his clothes you'll be ok but... // If you come into direct contact with his skin then you'll become infected, so be extra careful. // So that's why...
あれ？ // でもさっきお姉ちゃん… // お父さんに手袋外して触ってたよね？ // 大丈夫なの？ Really? // But didn't you just... // didn't you take off your gloves and touch my daddy? // Is that ok?
…
それがシスターの治療法だから // トロイに感染すると / 病気が体中に広がっ て毒を吐き始める // 毒はどんどん増えていっていっぱいになると… //その人は “発作”を起こして死んでしまう // 一度発作を起こせば助ける手立てはありません That's how we Sisters heal. // When you become infected with Troy, / the disease expands within your body and starts to produce poison. // Once the poison has nowhere else to spread, then... // that's when the person undergoes an "Attack" and dies. // The moment it attacks there's no way that person can be saved.
p13
ですがごく稀に // 女性の中にトロイへの耐性が極端に高い人がいる // そうい うわずかな人間が / 私達シスターです // そしてシスターは患者の体に直接触 れることで // その人が今まで溜めた毒を自分の体に吸いとることができる…！ However, very rarely, // there are women who have an extremely high resistance to Troy, // and it is those few people / who become us Sisters. // We Sisters then make direct contact with our patients, // and absorb all the poison that has been produced in that person's body.
……
そうすることで… / 私達は患者の命をつなぎ止める事ができるんです // つまり シスターはもれなく全員トロイに感染してるんですよ By doing that... / we're able to save the lives of our patients. // In other words, every one of us Sisters are infected with Troy.
Handwritten text: たはは… Tehehe...
トロイの治療が出来るなどと豪語してますが // ですから普段は / 極力 近寄ら ない様にした方がいいですよ We boast about being able to treat Troy and all but... // Since we're all infected, // everyone really needs to try and keep their distance from us.
… // そんな…大丈夫なんですか // 他人の毒を引き受けてしまって… ... // You sure you should be doing that? // Taking complete strangers' poison into your body like that...
… // 正確な所は分からないんですが… ... // I'm not exactly sure when it'll be but...
p14
きっと私は // 20 歳までは生きられないと思います I probably won't // live to see my 20th birthday.
そう Yep.
Sfx: ペコ―― *peko* (bow)
これが私達の宿命だった This is our fate.
Sfx:ガチャ *gacha* (door shut)
！
p15
……………… Sfx: サアア。 *saa*
でも // 私達には希望もあった But, // we also had hope.
Sfx: バサバサバサ *basa basa basa* (wings flapping)
私達シスターが探し続けている // “この病気にかからない人” // シスターの様 に強い耐性があるとかじゃなく // トロイに感染自体しない人―！// もし We Sisters have continued searching. // "Someone who is immune to this disease". // Not someone who has a strong resistance to it, // but someone who can't get infected at all! // If...
よく見たらあちこち飾りつけしてる // お祭りでもあるのかな Taking a closer look, seems like there are decorations all around. // I wonder if there is a celebration or something.
もしそんな人が見つかったなら If we found someone like that...
p16
この 病気は克服できるかもしれない…！！ Then maybe we could beat this disease...!!
Sfx: パラ… *para* (hood again)
Handwritten text: わあ~~~~ Woah
大きな絵… / 措きかけ？ That's a BIG picture... / It's still being worked on?
なぜならその人の体を調べれば Reason being, if we can examine their body...
じきに鐘が鳴るな 切りあげっか The bell's about to ring. Let's call it a day.
Handwritten text: オ―！！ Ya--h!
きっとこの病気を克服するカギが見つけられるから // そんな話を // 私は正直 この日が来るまで信じてはいなかったけど… I was sure we'd be able to find a key to overcoming this disease. // But, honestly speaking, // I didn't really believe in that story until this day...

あれ？// 発作は？私何で平気… Wait? // What happened to the attack? Why am I ok...?
Sfx: ドックン *Dokkun* (heart beat)

p21
なっ――… // そんなっ…また… // 今大丈夫だったのに // なんで… Wha--... // Why... again... // I was fine just a second ago. // Why...
通常 トロイの発作は一度起これば死は免れない // にも関わらず二度も発作を 起こすなんてこれって一体… // ああ…でもダメだ… // 死… Usually the moment Troy acts up you're as good as dead. // But to have it attack yet a second time?! What's going on... // But... this is it for sure... // I'm dying...
おいっ！！// おいってば！！ HEY!!! // I SAID HEY!!!
……… あれ？ Huh?
p22
発作が止んだ！？// うそ… なんで！？ // あれだけ苦しかったのに // もうす つかり落ち着いてる // 発作が途中で止まるなんて聞いたこともな… // ！！ い やいや ちょっと待って そんなことより…！！// この人…トロイに感染してな い！！？ // シスターの私が見間違うはずもない // この人 直接触れているの に // トロイに感染していない―！！！// まさかー It stopped?! // No way... Why did it?! // I was in so much pain // but now I'm perfectly normal. // I've never heard of it stopping in the middle of an attack... // !! All right, get a grip. There are more important matters... // Like... him not being affected by Troy!?! There's no way a Sister like me could mistaken it. // He's making direct contact with my skin, // yet he's not affected by it. // Could it be?!
Sfx: ドキ！ *doki* (heart thump)
あっ！ あの すいません！！ Ah! Umm excuse me!!
あっ？ あい！？ Ah? Yeah?!
p23
この人は―― He just might be --
もし よろしければ… // 私と一緒に来て下さいませんか…！？ // あなたはもし かしたら // 私達が何百年も待ち望んでいた人かもしれない！！ If you don't mind... // Would you please come with me...?! // You just might be // the very person that we've been hoping to find for the past several hundred years!!

コード4003 / シスターエルレインです // 協会本部 マーサ・ラグナにつないで 下さい Code 4003. / Sister Elrain speaking. // Please connect me to Martha Ragna of the society's headquarters.
コード承認しました // しばしお待ちを Your code has been confirmed. // Please wait one moment.
p25
ありがとうございますキリさん // 急な申し出だったのに ついて来てくれて Thanks so much, Kiri-san. // For coming with me on such short notice.
ん？ あー いいよ 事情聞いたら納得したし Hm? Ah, nah don't worry. After what you told me, I'm happy to.
このツンツン頭の少年… // 彼の名前はキリ// 少なくとも私の目には // トロイ に感染しない体を持っている事以外はなんでもない普通の少年 // だった This boy with spiky hair... // goes by the name Kiri. // Other than the fact that he's immune to Troy, // he's just a normal kid. At least, that's what he appeared as, // to me.
あ そおうだ // 名前まだ聞いてなかった / 何てーの？ That reminds me! // I've still yet to get your name. / What is it?
えっ / ああ そうですね // ……… / あ―――っと… // エルレインといいます // 良 かったら 覚えておいて下さい… Oh? / Yeah, I guess I haven't yet. // ......... / Ummm well... // My name is Elrain. // You can remember it if you'd like...
p26
は？ Huh?
よかったら...? If I'd like...?
Sfx: ガガッ *ga ga*
シスター エルレインマーサです Sister Elrain, Martha speaking.
あ シスター・マーサ！ エルレインです Ah! Sister Martha! I'm here.
報告は聞きました / で / 事実に間違いないんですか？ I've gotten the details, / but / are you absolutely sure?
はい！ // 間違いありません / 彼はトロイに感染しない体を持ってます // これで Yes ma'am! // I am 100% sure. / He is immune to Troy. // With him...
ええ / もしかすれば… 世界中の人を救うことになるかもしれないわね Right. / He just might be the key... to saving all those people around the world.
世界… The world...
……それでエルレイン / あなたが発作な起こしたのも事実？ ... Also, Elrain, / Is it true that you had an attack?
…はい // 私はもう…そう長くはないと思います… ... Correct. // I don't believe I have that much longer to live...
！？ // どういうこと？ ?! // What do you mean by that?
！// …… // あなたがキリ君ね？ ! // ... // So you must be Kiri, right?
p27
シスターにとってトロイの発作を起こすということは // “寿命”と同じなの // トロイの毒の許容量(キヤバシティ) が臨界に達する事で発作は起こる // あな たがその子の発作を止めたのには驚いたけど // そうでなければ今頃 彼女は死 んでいるわ // 放っておけば きっとその内また発作が彼女を驚うでしょう When a Sister has a Troy attack, // it's the same as saying it's their "last moments to live". // An attack happens when the amount of poison from Troy reaches it's maximum capacity. // I'm surprised you were able to stop her attack but // if you didn't she'd have been long dead by now. // If you were to leave her again, it'd only be a matter of time before she'd undergo another attack.
……… // どうにも… // なんないんだ…？ ... // Is there nothing we... // can do...?
あっ // あんまり気にしないで下さいね // もともと覚悟してやってきた事です から… // いずれはこうなると… Ah / don't worry about that. // I've been doing this fully prepared for what will happen... // I knew it would happen someday...
Sfx: キュ *kyu* (squeeze)
それに… // そのおかげで / あなたを見つける事ができた シスターとしてこれ 以上嬉しい事はありません // ですから… And besides... // Because of it, / I was able to find you. You have no idea how much that means to a Sister. // So yeah...
p28
それで思っちゃったんだけどさ~~ So, like, this was on my mind and all~
……
あんたら今も 手ェつないでんのよね // キリ君の体に触れている間は病気の進 行も止める… / そうだったわね？エルレイン So, you're, like, holding hands right now and stuff? // As long as you're touching a part of Kiri-kun's body you don't get any sicker, yeah?
は…はい… / ？ Ye-... Yes ma'am... / ?
じゃああんたらさぁ~~ // ず・っ・と・そうしてればいいじゃん Well then, like, why don't you guys // stay *like that* forever!
p29
どういう原理か分からないにしろキリ君はあなたの発作を止めた / なら… Regardless of not knowing why it's happening, Kiri-kun was able to stop your attack... / So...
そっか…そうだよ… Oh... You're right...
え？ 何？ 何ですか？ Eh? What? What's right?
手をつないでれば発作は起きないかもしれない…！ If we hold hands then you might not have another attack.
発作が起きなければトロイで死ぬことはない…// あんた死なずに済むかもしれない If you don't have another attack, then you won't die from Troy... // You might not have to die!
ほ…！！ ほんとですか…！？ Rea-!! Really?!
可能性は高いよ！/ やったじゃんあんた！！ There's a high chance of it! Good for you!!
はい…！！ Yeah...!!
そうよー 簡単な事じゃないのー！ As you'd expect, it won't be easy-!
Sfx: あははは / はは ahahaha / haha
Sfx: あはは ahaha
これからは 寝・る・時・も・ト・イ・レ・の・時・も・お・風・呂・の・時・も・ ずっと手をつないでいればいいんじゃな~~い アハハハハ All you'd have to do is just keep holding hands from here on out. // Even when you're sleeping, using the restroom and bathing! / Ahahaha...
p30
なん？ WHAT?!
Sfx: パン *pan* (bang)
いいわねこれいこう！ / 良かったわねエルレインこれで死なずに済むじゃない？ Great, let's do this! / Aren't you glad we found a way to keep you alive?
は？ Say what?!
えっ…今なんて言いました！？ / う…嘘ですよね！？ Eh... Can you repeat that again?! / You'r-, you're kidding, right?! は？
しょうがないでしょう？そうでもしないと死んじゃうんですから… // いいです かシスターエルレイン…今この瞬間から… //トイレの時もお風呂の時も寝る時も 1 秒たりとも // つないだその手を離す事を禁じます！！ ...I'm trying to tell you, there's no way out of it. Cause you'll die if you don't... / Got that? Sister Elrain. From this point on... // I forbid you from letting go of each other's hands for even a second... // That means even while using the restroom, bathing, and sleeping!
Sfx: えええええ Ehhhhhhhhhh
ええええええええええええ！！？ Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!
p31
ちょっ！！ ちょっと待って下さいそんなの困りますよ！！ // トイレもお風呂 もって…！！！// 私達 男と女なんですよ！？ // 今日会ったばっかなんですよ！？ Wai-!! Wait a minute here. That's not fair!! // What do you mean even during the restroom?! // You do realize I'm a girl and he's a boy?! // We just met today you know?!
俺もそんなの困るって！！ /ずっとっていつまでだよ！！他になんかアイディア ないの？！！ That's not fair to me either!! / What do you mean forever!?! / Don't tell me that's your only idea!?!
…………………

Ahahahahahahahaha!
笑うな！！ Don't laugh at us!!
そんなにどなる程でもないでしょう？ It's really not something to bicker about, you know?
“生きる”か“死ぬか”の問題でもなし… // “死ぬ”か“死ぬ”かの大問題ですよ！！ / Dead or Die だよ！！！ // まぁガミガミしないで // エルレイン…今から大 事な指令を出します / 心して聞いて… It's not a simple question of "live" or "die"... // It's a MAJOR question of "die" or "die"!!! / Which do you want?! // Nevertheless, stop griping about it. // Elrain, I'm about to give you a very important order. / Listen carefully.
Sfx: ああああああ Ahhhhhhhh
え… Yes...?
p32
これからのあなたの…あなた達の任務は… // 全てに優先して / 私のいる このシ スター協会本部に迅速にキリ君を連れてくること // キリ君 / 残念だけどこの 指令でありあなたに拒否する権利はないの // 世界中の人があなたの可能性を必 要としているわ逃れることは出来ない // あなたの体を調べようとするなら // 設備から言っても協会本部に設立されたトロイ研究所以外にありえない // つま り最低でもここに来るまでは手はつなかったまもいう事になるわね What your... what the both of your mission is... / and this is of the utmost priority, / get Kiri-kun to the Sister's society headquarters as fast as you can. // Kiri-kun, / I'm terribly sorry but this order isn't a request. // The people of this world are in dire need of what you're capable of, and we can not let that get away. // If we are to examine your body, / there really is no other choice but the society's headquarter's Troy research institution for the equipment it has there. // In other words, at the very least you'll have to stay hand-in-hand until you reach here.
マジでか She's serious...

おいおいとんでもない事になってきたな / てゆうか世界って…話がでっか過ぎな いか？ Sheesh, things sure are getting a bit crazy. / And saving the planet...?! isn't that a bit much?
…そうでもないですよ // 知ってますか？ // 700 年前にトロイが確認されて以 来現在までの犠牲者は // およそ10億人以上 ... Not really. // Did you know? // That since the discovery of Troy 700 years ago, the total amount of causalities // are over 100 million.

…それは私達が知りたい位です /ガゼル達の考えてることなんて… ... That's what we'd like to know. / We have no idea what's going on in their heads.
何なんだ？ その“ガゼル”って // さっきも言ってたな What exactly are the "Gazelle"? // You were talking about them earlier.
ガゼルと言うのは組織の名前です // 彼らの狙いはシスターの命ですが / それ 以外の事はほとんど分かっていません // 彼らに何人のシスターが殺されたか知 れない / 何よりもシスターの命を狙う理由さえ不明なんです// 人数や規模も… // はっきりしていることは彼らは一人の例外もなく / 戦いのプロ Gazelle is the name of their organization. // We know they kill off Sisters, / but that's about it. // We're unclear on how many Sisters have been killed. / We don't even know why they want to kill Sisters. // Nor their numbers or plans... // What we do know is each of them are / professional fighters.
p40
私達シスターは実は協会で護身が出来るだけの訓練は受けるんですよ // それで ももし…万一彼らと遭遇した場合に / 協会が教えてくれる対策はたった一つだけ です // 走れ // 全速力で逃げろと // それだけの力の差がある でも彼らは狙った獲物は逃がさない / 執拗に追いかけてくるそうです We Sisters actually do undergo self-protection lessons at the society. // Even still... there is one counter-measure we're taught: / That if we're ever to come across them by chance... // To run. // We're taught to run our hearts out. // That's how much of a difference in strength we have. // Unfortunately they don't let their prey get away. / They apparently don't stop pursuing them.

これは予測の域を出ない話ですが / ガゼル達がシスターを狙う理由はおそらく // トロイを治療できるからです // シスターが特別な所ってそこしかないです し… / …なら！！// トロイの完全な治療法を見つけられる可能性のあるキリさん は！？ This is just a guess of mine, but, / the reason the Gazelle are after Sisters is probably // because we can treat Troy. // That's the only thing special about Sisters. / If that's true... !! // Then what about you, Kiri-san?! And the possibility that you can cure it completely!
Sfx: ハッハッ *haah haah*
きっともっと狙われる！！ // 今がチャンスなんです！！ // 一人一人バラバラ ならまだしも… / 二人でいたら生存率は限りなく0 です！！ They'd surely come after you!! // This is our chance!! // We'd be better off alone... / but if we were together, the chances of us making it alive is 0 percent!

The formal name for the Troy disease is / "Invisible sickness". // In the last stage of Troy the person undergoes an attack / where their body gradually starts to turn into a clear almost glass-like state. // Then finally... / nothing but their clothes remain. // I've seen countless people disappear like that. // Because I've dealt first hand with people who suffer because of Troy / is why... // My dream is for // Troy to be wiped off the face of this earth.

う… ugh...
あいつがあんな目立つ襲い方をしたのはあきらかにオレ達をナメてるからだ / だったら…奴を倒すなら油断してる今しかない! The reason why he's searching for us in the open like that is because he's totally underestimating us. / So if we are to beat him, then our only chance is now when he's being careless.

倉庫の持ち主 Owner of the warehouse.https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2356[English] [Translation] Double Arts 20 by shrimpy2008-08-09T01:51:42+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comWith this chapter, I must announce that I am hereby dropping the translation of double arts. There is already sufficient coverage for the series, and it seems other scanlators have their own translators already.
My apologies to you scanlators who have been using my translations, and best wishes to your continued support of the series.
01 bold: A fighting style for the two of them, and its name is... -"Double Arts"... white: With tons of omake pages!! / The eagerly awaited Volume 1 is now on sale! DOUBLE ARTS
-That's right -That is the name of what you will be creating -Your own, personal martial art
-...it's a strange name -What's the inspiration?
02 -Generally speaking, all hand-to-hand combat styles -are referred to as "martial arts" -So, we'll call yours that for now
-Heh, now that you say it, it does kind of resemble that -It feels different with a proper name!
-So that pretty much ends today's lesson -Get some rest -Because we're starting early tomorrow -Eh?
-From sunup to sundown, you're going to dance -...everyday -SAY WHAAAAAAAT!?
-Need I remind you that you're running out of time? -YOU TRYING TO KILL US?! -...i'm getting dizzy...!
03 -CHAPTER 20 - "PROMISE" KOMI NAOSHI
left vert: Perhaps the official uniform of "Double Arts" should be formal attire...?
-Hold that position, don't let it go -Move into step two from your heel
-...what's going on here? -yeah, like this -Um...do that again...?
05 -they've improved...
-Well, I can understand Kiri's case, but... -Huh!? Are you talkin' to me?! (small - Don't ask!)
-One, two -Stop for a minute, Kiri-san
-This is where the tempo changes a little bit -It goes from tan-tan-tan to tan-tatatan -Tanta...whata...??
-Wanna try again? Start with the basic step -w-wait a sec!!
06 -Why do you know so much about dancing?! small - you didn't even make a mistake yesterday! -Eh? -oh, tehehe
-I've had a little bit of practice~ small - although I never expected it to come in handy...
-Usually you're better at everything, Kiri-san -But this is my time to shine -U-huh......
-I'll get better than you by the end of the day!! small - Let's go!! -EEEH!? small - m-my only sense of pride!! -Hou...
-Well this is a pleasant miscalculation -They're improving quite faster than anticipated kiri - tan tan tatan elle - you're wrong! -And they're able to cooperate well
-This lesson is going well -So then, that should come next...
07 -By the way, I was thinking....
-Aren't you hot in that dress? small - i can feel the heat just looking at you -YES, VERY -thought so
-Let's buy you new clothes -Or you know what, I can even make you some -All I need is cloth and I can do it from scratch -But um...how do you say...Kiri-san's fashion sense is a bit... -There's nothing to be worried about!!
-You've mentioned -A very important point...
-Eh?
08 -Okay, so now we'll begin the "Kiri and Elle's new outfits design competition!!" -Just wait until you get a load of our designs!! -Yeah!! -I...um, I've never drawn...before... -...Take this seriously, guys
09 -This is not a joke. Think about it carefully -if you don't want to die, that is
-Your best bet to survive close calls is to make sure you've got more places you can make contact -So the more exposed skin, the better -True, this uniform isn't very revealing... -SKIN?
-OSHHAA!! I'M DONE!! -CHECK OUT YOUR NEW SUITS!
under sui: dodon (like ba-bam) lower corner she signed her name, lol -THAT'S TOO MUCH SKIN!!!
10 -THERE'S LIMITS, LIKE COMMON DECENCY!! -WE'RE NOT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE PERVERTS!! sui small - huh? elle small - you want us to wear THIS?! (T/N - that's the literal, but i'd recommend spicing it up with something else since this is understood. like, "are you mad?!" "Is this a sick joke"?! etc...) remaining bubble (sui talking) - But it's a wonderful design ajoined bubble - That's what they wore when they were driven out of the Garden of Eden...
-Forget it, she doesn't understand -We need more sophistication, like that of yours truly
-Behold! above is dodon! (he has a nice sig in the corner, unlike sui) -IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU!?! (t/n - elle's shirt says "courage")
-YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!! WHY AM I IN A SHIRT AND JEANS?! -IT'S LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT WHAT I'M WEARING! -What?! You don't get it at all! Our outfits PUT TOGETHER balance each other out!! farran: *The battle continues
11 -So let's see what YOU got! small - lemme see lemme see! -Eh? But I-I...! -Yosh!! I'll give you an honest assessment...
-Mine was much better... -mine was more sensible... -Um, hello? No way? -Hers is like a thousand times better!
12 -Hmmmm, I didn't know you had it in you! -Elle, was it? small - okay, so i'm slow with names -A-ah, i'm not at all! farran: *hopeless
-Ah, but wait...
-Having to wear the outfit you designed is just... -really, really embarrassing...I can't...
-I'LL WEAR IT. -I'LL ABSOLUTELY WEAR IT.
-Aw, now my brilliant design will go to waste... small - nyahaha kiri - You crazy? kiri - it looked like an infant drew it small (clearly) (t/n - i can't discern if this is sui's or kiris but it doesn't matter with the word i've chosen)
13 -...um -...I really can't wear this after all... -You'll get used to it!
14 -It's your "Double Arts Uniform"!!
-Stop making fun of me...
-...so -why didn't you make something else for yourself? small - just me kiri - ...cuz, there wasn't any point small - my arms are exposed and stuff
-Plus I kinda like this outfit a lot -Ahem, not like the design in particular or anything though box: *Kiri's mom designed it last bubble - He's a poor loser...
-That's enough, stop wasting time -Start practicing now
-You could be attacked today or tomorrow -Keep in mind your lives are in danger
15 -...can I -ask you something that's been bothering me lately? -What is it?
-Why is it that you refuse to fight if it's to protect other people?
-...I'm not going to answer that -Uh... -I knew you were going to say that
-What I mean is I just can't understand it -Because, from my point of view
16 -it's just not like you -I mean, you're even teaching us how to fight! -I think it's more like you're saying you can't fight.
-...what a nosy kid
-...it's simple -I made a promise -to a certain person
-That I would never again -Use my power for anyone else's sake
-...and it's become something like a curse -I just can't break that rule, no matter what
17 -...I must keep that promise -What I'm doing right now isn't protecting you in any way* (t/n - i just want to point out that he's talking about the ACT of protection. True self-defense is by extension protecting them, but he's not the one physically doing it)
-Just don't forget -That if you don't want to die, becoming stronger is your only way out
-...And if the time came -that you broke that promise?
-...I'd pay for it -in more ways than one
18 -The time we promised to meet (t/n - emphasized because this is some sort of lead-in from the previous discussion) -is well past, Zezu
-...hah! -Funny coming from someone who can't make a promise in the first place!
-...gosh, it's been friggin' forever -since the 11 of us met together...
19 bold: A meeting of the Gazelle!? / And what's this grave to them!?

DONE. please proofread. and looks like I was wrong, THIS was the chapter centered on the series' name. right?
01 right corner: Double Arts -...you want me -to teach you how to fight? bold: Kiri's unexpected request!
-...your enemy -was able to single-handedly destroy the entire Falzen battalion. -Do you understand what you're up against?
-of course!
-hmph...
02 -Very well -I'll help you out bold: And Farran's unexpected answer!! left: EEEEEH-----!? lower right: LESSON 1 lower left white: Sorry to keep you waiting! / Volume 1 now on sale! lower left: Komi Naoshi
-Right on! -That's what I wanted to hear! -W-wait a minute! -I didn't hear anything about this!
(3 sets top to bottom: ) -But you'll do it, right? -W-well yes, but... -Are you serious about this Kiri!? left is just tehehe
03 -Hmm...since when were thinking like this? -I could've taught you anytime, you know... -Don't be ridiculous -It's impossible for you to teach anyone anything
-So u-um... -It's a pleasure to be working with you, Farran-san!
-Thank you so much for offering to help us! -I'll do my best as well!
-Not so fast! I have some terms... -First, you must obey absolutely everything I say -Second, I'll be the one to tell you when and where you're allowed to go -Got it? You aren't allowed to act on your own -Oh and...one more...
04 -I get to handle the money -Give me every cent you've got -WHAAAAAT!?
-ALL OF OUR MONEY!? small - What a rip-off!! -That's right, let's see it -We're getting started right now -The second you're ready, get outside!
-...what?
-i mean...
-Your terms just now -don't serve any real purpose
-...have those kids grown on you?
05 -...it's not that I hate them...
-...so you mean -you like them?
-Hmph
-All right!
06 -Now we're ready for anything! -I wonder what he'll make us do?
-Ok! We're set! What do you want us to do now? -Uh....Farran...-sensei? -Farran is just fine! -I hate being called sensei
-...right... -Let me explain a few things first
-You told me just a while ago all about yourselves, correct? -Eh? yeah...
07 -I was measuring your "affinity" -In other words, what kinds of things you'd be best suited for, as opposed to the things you wouldn't -I like to survey information to decide what I should teach... -and determine in what manner would be most appropriate
-But just listening to your story allowed me to devise a plan -All you two need to do is simply stick to my menu, as it were -Simple, right?
-Okay then, sensei! -What exactly do you want us to do!? -I see you want to get smacked
-...no need to rush -Before I answer that question, -There's something you two need to recognize
08 -Right now, your goal is to become stronger
-So what is it, then, that you feel you need the most?
-Erm.... -Power? Knowledge on fighting styles? -Ah...maybe weapons...?
-Nerves of steel!! (t/n - coming from the master herself :amuse) -Experience -is my guess
09 -Good answer -but incorrect -Each of those has merit, but the most important of all is...
-Synchronization -Or in other words, a perfect combination! -this quality is your very lifeline in the ability to fight with your hands together -If you don't learn how to perfect it, you won't even be able to move around decently
-So I devised a method of training -that will prove most effective in teaching you how to complement one another
-So what's the method...?
-You need to learn...
10 -How to dance!
-Huh?
-GYAHAHAHA (x2, you get the point)
11 farran sfx - clap clap -come on! One, two! One, two! -Don't fall behind!! sui is just "hyahahaha / hiii~~~yahahaha" etc
-You're lagging again! Pick up the pace!
-Feel the rhythm! Maintain your posture! -CONCENTRATE!
-How many times do I need to repeat myself?? You're doing it again!! -You two aren't together! Once more, from the top!!
12 -GIVE US A BREAK! -ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THIS!?
-As serious as can be. -For the time being, -I want you to do nothing but dance
-B-But--!! -In order for you two to learn to move as one, -There is no better method than this
-At all times, the two of you -should be able to produce smooth movements. Dance is the perfect basis upon which to assist you in thoroughly mastering this skill! -Keep going until I say stop!
13 -I get the logic, but -will this really make us stronger!?
-...fine -Let me tell you about myself
-Once, I belonged to a certain country's guerrilla unit -But after removing myself from the military, -I traveled the world learning all sorts of martial arts -...from the newest to the most ancient arts--everything
-And eventually, I came to a point where I was capable of teaching others -Although it may seem to the contrary, I have much experience in teaching others martial arts
-Well... -believe me or not, it's your choice
14 -Farran... -i mean sensei! How old are you really?? -Let's just say not as young as you think I am!! -...keep it up and I WILL deck you!
-You two have the talent to do this -Trust me for now, and let's continue
-Uh... -"two"? small - I do too??
-Yes
-From your point of view, you probably think -that your pointy-haired friend has some kind of superhuman reflexes -...I do (t/n - there is a tiny text next to kiri, but the raw is so scratchy i can only read the first kanji. there's hundreds of hits for words starting with it, so i don't have the patience to search for what it could be. if you don't care, i don't either, otherwise send me a higher res shot of that box)
-However, -the fact that you can keep up with them means you aren't ordinary either
15 -You have the capability -If you can develop it, you will become strong
-Um, Farran-san... -Could you please refrain saying such things in front of Sui? small: Kiri warned about this! -My apologies /small - i forgot
-You look like you have something to say to--
Pthoo! (spitting sfx(?))
16 -...indeed -Both of them do have the qualities of great fighters...
kiri small - All right, let's go again! elle - okay!
-But the most terrifying is him -and that power called "FLARE"!
-Depending on how many people hold hands, he has the ability to multiply everyone's strength? -It comes at no risk... -And is seemingly limitless? -Impossible...
17 -It's almost like a perpetual motion device... -A power which defies the very laws of creation!
-The simple act of holding hands is the only price by which limitless energy is derived...? small elle - I thought you were nimble! small kiri - I'm new to this!! -As if creating something from nothing... -This power is beyond the realm of humans
-If that power -were to fall into the hands of scoundrels with wild imaginations, then... -the world would be...
-Kiri... -Just what destiny were you born to bear? -...time out. Let's have a chat.
18 -Can it wait? small - please, sensei... -It won't take long
-It's about the goal of our lessons
-I think... -We should create a martial art that only the two of you can use
-That only we can use?! -Yes, after all -There aren't any other martial arts in the world centered around fighting while holding hands -Therefore, it's best to start from scratch
-...we're going to create...
-A martial art just for the two of us? -Huh...
-I'll watch over them until it is complete bubble - But it will need a name bubble - Why don't we call it this for now:
19 -DOUBLE ARTS (t/n - kanji lit. pair-battle-dance)
Bold - The name that belongs only to these two!!
CHAPTER 19/ENDhttps://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2351[English] [Translation] Double Arts 18 by shrimpy2008-07-27T00:38:33+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comNow we know why it's Double Arts...(well we already knew, I think)
Also of note, last week used Troy (in on of the diagrams). So, that's the spelling. My bad on all the previous chapters, and actually on ch17 i still used troi cuz i didn't see it :S... so feel free to change spellings on all of those, I don't have the patience to fix them all
01 lower right: DOUBLE ARTS bold: A lone girl is running for her life. / Her name is...

-Kahaha!!
-YOU guys are the famous Falzen!? -What a joke!
03 -...you're certainly right -It's laughable that we, the strongest of the Militia Sisters, -Are reduced to this in no time at all...
-You monster!!
-...hey -You sure you got your facts straight?
-Are those kids really still alive? -I mean, you've got one hell of a sense of humor. I sent THE Avro, after all... -...I speak the truth -But there was someone assisting them
-A man named Farran -He's some martial artist of fame, but no details are known about him... -Too bad for you, your plan failed...
04 -...and you seem happy about it? -Zezu...
-You bet I am! -He's my little toy. If he broke so easily, what'd be the fun in that? -Ah! I know, if you could get me...
-...my apologies, but we haven't the time -You've got a mandatory meeting to attend to -As soon as you're done here, that's where we're headed
-...don't make that face
-Grrah!! Fine, then! -I'll make these guys into bird food!
-Commander Kelt... -Do you think Andie will get away safely? -...no need to worry. She's a lot tougher than she looks
05 -Although... -There was still more I wanted to teach her...

CHAPTER 18 - "The road ahead"
07 -One day left
-until -the Falzen arrive
-Phew...It's been pretty peaceful for some time -But that doesn't mean we can let our guard down
-I guess I'll get to see Andie tomorrow? -Oh, I can't wait! -She's that friend you mentioned earlier?
-It's been a really long time! -She may have completely changed too, since she entered the Falzen...
-My eyes only met hers for a split second... -Hm? That look in your eyes says you've got something to say! -Well aren't you all tough with your cross bangs -You'd better not be lookin' down on me, you-- -KNOCK IT OFF!! small lines near sui - "Haa? Punk"
-Since she came back, I thought she was over it... -That's quite a grudge she's got from losing... -Gacha... -Sister Elraine? -It's Martha -Eh--ah, yes?
09 -I've been waiting for your call -I have an urgent message to tell you
-I have a report for you as well, -regarding yesterday, about Hine... -Save it for after
-Martha?
-Please prepare yourself -for what i'm about to say
-The Falzen convoy, as of last night -was completely obliterated
10 -What!?
-They were ambushed by the Gazelle -Wha--- -wa-wait, how--!? -Then...
-ANDIE!! -What about Andie?! Sister Martha!!
-The one who gave us the report -was Andie herself
-Late last night, she gave us a call saying, "The Falzen is wiped out"... -and after that, we lost contact -And all we can confirm is that we've received no contact from the remaining members either
11 -So in all likelihood... -...no
-We honestly didn't see this coming -You two need to hide yourselves right away -It's going to take us time to prepare the necessary reinforcements -so until then... -Reinforcements!?
-Stop right there! -The Falzen were supposed to be the strongest you've got! -Send others, and you're just going to get another repeat of this! -Don't send anyone!
-We know that already!! -But -we don't have any other options right now
12 -...look -Could you give us just a little more time? -I've got a plan i'd like to work out
-...Sorry about this -barging in unannounced, i mean -Ahaha, it's fine! Don't worry about it -Have some tea and take your time!
13 -That had better be "tea", I hope? -Aha~~~! Whatever are you implying, Farran-kun? no bubble: I'd never give alcohol to children!
-...kid -Do you really have a plan or not?
-...more or less -I haven't thought it out too well but... -it's better than the alternative... (ran into a box of no bubbles, here's the dialogue in 3 parts)
14 -Let's hear your plan, Kiri-san! -What would you like me to do?
-Are you...feeling all right? -Huh? Yeah...
-I'm fine! -Because
-Martha said that the Falzen was destroyed -but she didn't say the members were dead, right? -They may still be alive! -None of them were the type to die so easily!
-So you don't need to worry -Plus this is no time for me to be sulking!
15 -Okay, I got it -You can say whatever you want
-But I can tell, clear as day -Okay! Then let's get out a map
-that you're just acting tough
-But I can't let myself lose to bad news either! bubble: Where is your headquarters located?
map: finger: Naginzeria left of that is "Nitan Empire" middle of the names is Deodorad below that is "Turm"
bubbles: -Here! -The capital city of Naginzeria (t/n - she says naginzeria, the capital of the naginzeria country. that sounds crappy in english so i condensed it) -We are presently in the Nitan Empire... -Down here... -With this much distance between us, we may really need help after all
16 -No -We will head for headquarters on our own strength -We won't take anybody else
-I refuse to get anyone else wrapped up in this mess -It may sound crazy, but we don't have a choice!
-Ah!! By yourselves!? Then you mean you're planning on ditching me!? -How are we ditching you? You were only following us in the first place! -Fine!! Just as long as you understand! (small - acting all tough!) (t/n - i'd prefer you erase the small text altogether, it doesnt fit well and doesnt add to the meaning)
17 -And another thing -this is the most important part of it all...
-Farran -I have a huge request for you
-...I can pretty much guess what it is -You want me to be your bodyguard, right?
-I don't know how many times I have to say it -I absolutely refuse to fight -for the purpose of protecting someone else
-You're probably still thinking that you'll be protected simply because I'll fight to protect myself -Well let me correct your think-- -Wrong.
-This has nothing -To do with being protected by you
18-19 The meaning of "double arts"!! -Would you -Teach us how to fight? -And -In a manner that we can still hold hands! -A fighting style for just the two of us! (bum bum bu~~m)
-It's possible, if we use Flare...!
bold: He answers...without hesitation!!

Have fun going back and fixing all the chapters!!! Cuz I'm not!!
01 white: With heaps of extras! Look for Kiri & Elle / on the cover of volume 1, hitting stores 8/4 (mon)!! bold: Her life connects / to Kiri's! Chapter 17 - Hopes and Dreams komi naoshi
02 -Her seizures stopped!
-Okay! Now's my chance!
-How many hundreds of people do you plan on dragging along? -Do you intend on saving every single person you come across in the future?
-I know... -Taking more people would make it impossible to travel... -But...!
-I have an idea how we can save her... -What--!?
03 -I just need to -treat Hine!
-Sister Elraine!?
-What're you doing?!
-This is a gamble!
-If I take on Hine's toxins, -I may be killed
-BUT!
04 -This disease causes death by seizures -So conversely, -As long as those seizures don't start, I can't die
-And Kiri -Has the power to stop them!
-As long as Kiri is keeping the seizures back, I should be able to survive! -I admit, this is just a wild guess, but...
-there's a chance it will work! -Since he can't decide between letting her go, or taking her with us...
05 -I'll bet on odds that my idea will work!
-Thank goodness... -Looks like we're both okay
-Sister Elraine!! -Did you just--! -W-what did she do??
06 -I can't believe you!! -You could've told me first, ya know!! -If you had been wrong, you'd be dead!!
-But if I had told you, you wouldn't have let me try, right? -OBVIOUSLY NOT!! (small - you should think about yourself some more!!)
-Well, at least Hine-san's saved! -Nothing was coming out of worrying about it, so now you can relax!
-Elraine...!!!
-If you wake up in the morning... -And your clothes are covered in bear patches...don't go blaming me...!! -PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! small: Anything but that!
-...like...happy to be alive! -The tears...kinda came by themselves...
-I thought there was like no way I'd survive -and that I didn't have any hopes or dreams
-But... -it looks like...I did have some after all
-...of course you do! -It's just natural!
08-09 (follow panel order) -Plus, our future hope is right here-- -You know, right next to me! small - Sheesh! Quit exaggerating!
-Didn't you say it was your dream to become a painter? -You still want to, right? -In that case, -don't you think you'd better start practicing right away?
-Once we go and rid the world of Troi -All you Sisters will be out of a job! -It's going to be hard for you to smile in the future if you've lost your touch!
-But I'll tell you what--I can show you how it's done any time!
-sniff -aha...hahaha
-Yeah... -You're totally right! I gotta get crackin'!
10 -Nn...
-Huh? -Who...are you? -Ah! Wait!! -You need to get more rest!
-Could you be... -the Sister?
-What a relief -...I thought you weren't coming
-S-stop it, Aryl! -But Granny...
11 -Loan's mommy died because a Sister showed up too late (t/n - she may be referring to herself in 3rd person) -ARYL!! -That's why I thought maybe the Sisters would be late again
-A-aah... -P-please accept my apologies!
-I'm sorry!!
-It's just like you said -Even though we're supposed to be on time -Sometimes we don't make it -So I'm very sorry about that!
-But... -All of us are tryin' our very best -And I know everyone truly wants to save everybody they can!
12 -While you were busy fighting the pain from your illness, -All of us were totally fighting to do our very best too -So...could you find it in your heart to forgive us?
-In return, -The next time ya fall sick, big sis here'll come dashing to your rescue! -It's a promise!
-...really?
-Yep!
-Then...okay...
13 (does anyone else find this top panel hilarious? i know it's supposed to be clouds but...what the heck??)
-Today's like, a little over 2 years from when I started treating people -So probably, if I kept on totally pushing myself like this for another 2-3 years, -I bet I'd like, fall into seizures all over again
-So you've got until then -To find the cure for me! small: Mr. hope (but i suggest Mr. Hero, is that more clear?) -O-okay... -But you better not kill yourself doing these treatments
-Yeah, totally! -Besides, I like, decided to start painting again! -I've got just the thing to put down on canvas, too!
-What're you two gonna do? -Well...we'd better get back to the inn pronto.
14 -Or else somebody's going to be really pissed in a second -Of course I'd be!! -You ran around out in the wide open! Do you even care that you're being targeted? -Put yourself in my place!!
-I see... -well, I'm going to head for like, the ward office, and after that leave the city -So I guess this is goodbye
-You gotta promise me we'll meet again!! No matter what!! -And I like, someday want to see your paintings, Kiri-san!! -Feeling...sick...
-Well, I don't have a painting -But I DO have a new [b]appliqué[/b]!! (<-wikipedia link) -Get a load of this...!
-MY NEW WORK!! (small - a monkey!)
15 -Kiri-san sure is talented, -But his tastes are a little strange... small above hine - It's well-made... elle's pic-bubbles: "the great spirit of poop" "fufufu" (laughter) - both exactly as they appeared in the beginning ch's -WHAT WAS THAT!?
-Hold on!! I can't let this pass! -C'mon, isn't this thing cute!? Isn't it!?!?! -If you were trying to make something cute, I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to come out like this... -B-but--!!! (illegible)
-...they like, don't have a care in the world!
-...aren't the Gazelle gonna target them like crazy from now on? -Do you think they'll be alright?
-I'm not going to brush it off and say yes -however...
16 -All I know for sure is that a kid like him won't die so easily -He's the kind of guy that rolls with the punches, no matter what happens small from right to left (3 blocks) -But you said that statue I made back home in the plaza was gorgeous! You know, that one! (pic) -Ah...but you weren't the one who came up with the design... --geh!! What are you trying to say!?
-...and the same goes for you
-...yep!
-They'll be fine -...for sure! (t/n - clearly hine's words. If you notice, farran has his own font)
-...well, say what you will, but weak guys will kick the bucket sooner than later -H-HUH!?!
17 -That day
-The rain -had stopped before anyone noticed bubbles: -Okay then! -Take care of yourself! -Mm. Same to you two!
-Oh, and you better invite me to the wedding! -YOU BET WE WON'T -BECAUSE THERE WON'T BE ONE!!! (t/n - best panel EVAR)
-The boy that she met in this town -would later become the subject of a famous painting (T/n - odd. for the first time it's like the narrator is not elle, unless she's excluding herself? Also, I'm assuming this means kiri because it says kono hito - singular form)
-but that...is a later story bubble - I'd better ring up Chris
18 -what am I gonna say to her! -I'm sure she'll be shocked -I wonder how I'm gonna explain everything...
-Heya Chris! It's me... -I like, decided to paint again -I'm gonna need supplies... -Couldja get me a canvas, an easel, -oh and brushes, and charcoal! Maybe some plaster, and...
-Chris! -I...um...Those two...!
-They gave me back my "hopes" and "dreams!" -Man, it's embarassing to say...but I like totally mean it!
-Aaah...I haven't felt like this in a long time! -I'm so excited! I want to paint so bad, I can't hold it in! And the subject...
-came to me today...!
19 -The composition...
-and the motif too!!
white text: Their silhouette...is forever etched into her heart!

And what a good point it raises, are we really spending our lives in a way that has lasting value? ...
edit: page 12 missing part corrected. 01 -Two days before the Falzen troops were to arrive bold vert: A lone Sister / meets the two... -Heine? box: The sky box: was pouring white at bottom: Look for the blue and white cover! Volume one, along with the debut work "island," hits stores 8/4 (mon)!!
bold at top of this panel: "DOUBLE ARTS" -Yeah -yesterday we met that sister -She was pretty interesting -I agree, she was an incredible person!
-Sister...Heine... -If I'm not mistaken...she's the one...
-what...?
02 bubble top: today will be bubble left: her "final assignment," i believe... bold vert: and now they come to know / what's in store for her... long box right: "about the story" While Kiri and Elle are on standby in the city of Deodorad, they come across Sister Heine, who's quite cheerful despite her weighty responsibility. But then, she learns that she's likely to vanish after one more treatment...what will become of her!?
CHAPTER 16 - "The life story of Sister Heine" (t/n - thinking about it, we had her introduced and backstory last chapter, so, this seems more fitting to me [inserting the "life"] because it makes it sound more like, well, her last chapter) Komi Naoshi
-She was like, as amazing as I thought -I wish I could've become like her
-Y'know, I think it's like totally fate that she met that Kiri guy!! -I'm sure that he's, like, the one who'll save everyone from Troi!!
-Heine...
-You know, there's still -another job waiting for you...
04 -The only available Sister in the area is you right now -And yes, it's possible -that this assignment may be your last...
-Heine...won't you think this over? -You can always retire, like we have... -Why not provide support to traveling Sisters like I do?
-...we've had this conversation, like, a thousand times... -I intend, 'till the very end... -to offer treatments as a traveling Sister...
-So...yeah! I gotta get going, 'cause I don't ever want to arrive late again! -So, uh... -HEINE!!
-(sniff at top) Forgive me...
05 -Chris...
-thanks...
-Thanks for pickin' me up that day... -I'll always be grateful to you for that!
-Gotta run...
06 -...that conversation was about 20 minutes ago... -Are you really going to try to save her?
-I hope you understand -what exactly that means for you two...? -Haa... -Can you keep going? -...yes!
-...I know she's doing it because she's proud to be a Sister and all... -but she doesn't have to force herself to work on the verge of death!
07 -Didn't she say that she wanted to be an artist?
-When she was talking about it, -she had the biggest sparkles in her eyes -Almost as if...she was still pursuing that dream even now
-Even though there's things left that she wants to do--!! -Why sacrifice her precious dream and her life... -just for her work? It's ridiculous!!
-Geez! What's with you Sisters!! small - i don't get 'em one bit! -Hey, don't you have anything to say about this? -hu-huh?? -W-who knows...I have no idea small - not even the slightest!
08 -...anyway, I just can't let this slide -I'm going to save her!
-Tell me -What do you plan on doing after you've saved her? -It's just like Martha said -You really think you can make it to their headquarters with a lady in each hand?
-How many hundreds of people do you plan on dragging along? -Do you intend on saving every single person you come across in the future?
-...He's right... -It's just plain impractical... -But that doesn't mean--
09 -Please! I'll have plenty of opportunities to think about that later! -If she dies, we won't have any options to work with, right?
-C'mon, let's go! -We have to hurry!
-...yeah -what he said is right...
-Kiri-san, I... -think I've got an idea
-to save Heine-san
10 -And I think it's the best way...
-...hm~ -This day... -has finally come... (t/n - even though the font looks the same, now we're reading heine's thoughts)
-It'll be all right -I don't have any regrets bubbles: -Ah!! It's the Sister! -We've been waiting for you! -Please, come in!
-I probably have like no right to say this, -But I always wanted to be a praiseworthy Sister
-When I decided to dedicate myself to this work... -I prepared myself for what it meant to walk this path
11 -So I don't have a single regret, Chris
-Today, the stage is all mine! -So watch as I give my best performance...
-This is like, probably...
-The last treatment I'll give...
-So...
-What will it be...?
12 -GA -GAHO -GEHO top left: It's here...
-The seizure came after all... -COUGH -COUGH -s-sister!! -W-what's wrong...!? -COUGH
-Gngh!! I've seen this happen to like tons of people, but... -It's like way more excruciating than I thought!
-I've got to hold it back! -This is the hard part--!! -I don't want to die in an embarrassing way! I've gotta be an admirable Sister to the end!
-Just endure... -a little longer...!
13 -The feelings I was supposed to have suppressed...
-No... -My real feelings that I never once noticed...
-Now... -Now of all times--!!
-I'm beginning to notice!!
14 -I'M SCARED -I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!
-No!! You can't die!! -Death is too much to take!!
-Someone... -somebody please help me!! -I can't... -I can't breathe!! bubbles all "haa"
-I don't want to die!! -I... -I haven't yet...! -Mommy!!
15 -Wow, you painted an amazing picture again! -As I'd expect from the future's best upcoming painter!
-Heine!
-Wow!! -What's that!? Did you make it!?
-INCREDIBLE!! -You had a talent like that all along!? -Woah...I also paint, but this is a bit...how do you say... -Amazing Heine!! (last bubble i left out was heine's) - Oh no, I'm not talented at all...
-You could totally be a painter in the future! no bubble left: yeah, for real! no bubble top: It's so good!!
-...don't blame yourself, Heine -If you don't make it on time, take comfort -because it happens to everyone at least once
16 -No, Chris... -I've already decided -I've thrown away, like, everything...my paints, my canvas... -I don't wanna let anyone go through that painful experience -I'm gonna live from here on thinking totally about the work I've got to do
-Until the very end.../as a Sister...
-Oh yeah...that's right, I like threw away everything, even all the pictures I painted!! -That means I'm really gonna disappear! -There won't be anything left of me! lower right: That "aspiring painter Heine" won't be remembered by anyone!!
top right, then going clockwise: -I don't want this!! -Even though I painted so much... -I still--!! -There's still so much I want to paint!!
-I still want to live!! -PLEASE, SOMEONE...ANYONE...SAVE ME!! -SAVE ME!!!!

Honestly though, I want ACTION. Judging by the comments in this chapter, I wonder if Naoshi is religious?
01 top line is "Volume 1, bundled with the magical Debut work "island," hits stores 8/4 (mon)!!
CHAPTER 15 - "Sister" komi naoshi
vert line upper right: The power to change the world (t/n - lit. [to] "change the world") vert line lower left: all starts with the belief that you can (t/n - lit. "believing change is possible") (so yes, i was a bit creative with these lines)
02 -It was still three days -Until the Falzen unit arrives
-We moved to another inn -And quietly passed the time
-...wow!! You really can cook!! -Please, anyone can cook breakfast -erm...well I...can't...
03 -Sui-san isn't coming back, is she? -I wonder if she's all right -Hm? Yeah, I'm sure she's fine -It sure would be great if we could eat breakfast with Farran
-...which reminds me, when I carried him his plate his expression changed all of a sudden -wonder if he's the kinda guy that doesn't eat breakfast?
-I should have told him I can't stand carrots...
-...But...it's really good... -Hey, your sleeve...
-It's ripped -Eh? oh... (you're right) -Sigh, hang on a sec...
04 -UWAH--!!
-...A-AMAZING!! -I know it's obvious but, you're incredible!! -heh heh heh. Don't underestimate the son of two tailors!
-I'm always helping my folks out at the store with our wares -I'm pretty good when it comes to sewing! small: Wow, it's like new...
-WHY'D YOU SEW THIS ON THERE TOO?! -huh? why not...fits you perfectly -PLEASE TAKE IT OFF!!!
05 -...umm... -are you sure it won't come off...?? -Since it won't come off, just leave it be! -No way! I mean, what's with its creepy face...?
-But man, this stinks -We really need to keep in touch with your headquarters and all, -but that means we have to go out in the open like this
-...It's dangerous, but we don't have a choice -That's why we're going at the crack of dawn -And why I'm wearing my robe
-...yes but -There's a huge difference between wearing that or not
-Without you look like ordinary townspeople, and know one would know you're a Sister...
06 -Well that's true, but -isn't it more important they don't see her face, since the Gazelle know? (t/n - this conversation doesn't make logical sense, so I've tried to make it less confusing. Here kiri really says something like "we'd rather not let out faces be known to them" but his face is clearly exposed!!)
-AAAAH!!
-Might you be...Sister Elraine?! -You are, aren't you!!
-Huh? -Wow!! What are you doing here? -I heard you were in Turm!
-Um, who are you?
-Ahahaha! -(Ahem), it's no surprise you don't know me, Elraine-sama (t/n - [for those who don't know] sama = very respectful way of addressing ppl)
07 -I never grew up at headquarters like you -But when I went there for training, everyone spoke about you -Oh, that's how... -I've always admired you, Elraine-sama! -And I've always wanted to meet you in person at least once
-But I'd have never imagined here... -Wow, I'm just at such a loss for words!
-Oh yeah, so this person here must be that Kiri Luchile-sama everyone's talking about?? -A-ha, eh...using sama... -You don't have to talk so formal with us, you know -We're around the same age after all
-Oh? -Like, really? -What a load off my shoulders! I'm like, so bad at being formal, y'know? -So no worries, yeah? I'll talk normal! -She's like another person...!! (t/n - what's really going on here: Regardless of your dialect, speaking keigo, or polite japanese, always sounds the same. As soon as you drop it though, it's clear where you're from. She's started using kansai-ben here, and I made her more of a valley girl for kicks)
08 -I'm Sister Heine! -Just your ordinary, everyday sister small top: Nice ta meet'cha! -I'm here for like, work! -I was just on my way out after giving some treatment, y'know?
-But wow! I'm like, so happy!! The happiest girl in the world! To be able to meet Kiri-san, like, the guy immune to Troi! -I wanted to meet you sooooo much! You're like our wishing star! -That and...
-I've been just dying to meet my like, personal hero, the "white fairy"!! kiri: pfffff!!
-Hey!! Kiri-san!! don't laugh!! -I meant that in like, the most upright respect!! -...the...white fairy...and her adorable bear patch...pfftt!!! -YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PUT IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
small: bear...?
09 -Woah!! -That's like, really well done!!
-N-no.. -this is...! -Eh!? -You made that, Kiri-san??
-No way!! That's like, so well made!! -You're awesome!
-Like, to tell you the truth, I used to make things like this too... -Well, not exactly the same...like, when I was a little girl -I always wanted to paint...y'know... small: tahaha
-Sorry, got kinda off track... -Huh?? You were a painter? small: that's great -Nah, cuz...like, I gave that up a long time ago
-I always had fun showing off my paintings to other people -Like totally to mom and pop, all the time! -...yeah -I know where you're coming from
10 -But I was like at it all the time -My parents got like so totally fed up with me! -They were like so pissed whenever I was drawing sh_t and stuff, y'know? (t/n - i'm not kidding. that's really here. uOko, the o = X, or blank, just like a blank. wierd that she doesn't say it cuz "unko", or poop, cuz this word has been displayed in full--remember kiri's statue way back) -Haha! Yeah, me too! My folks were always laughing themselves sore! -What the heck have these two been drawing?!
-I gotta say, -You're really, how to put it...
-cheerful
-I mean, your work is really serious business, right? -I would expect Sisters to be more gloomy and stuff -Kinda like her -WHAT PART OF ME IS GLOOMY??
-...I think you've got that backwards -You can't do this work if you're not positive!
-And like... -I really love doing this work -I think it's a real honor to be a Sister
11 -...wow... -You're really impressive
-I've never thought that being a Sister -was ever an honor or anything like that -I've only had complaints about the responsibilities and treatment from others I've experienced -Not once have I ever thought like you
-nononono! -I like, don't even come close to measuring up to you, Elraine-san -I haven't done anywhere near as much work like you -No really! That aside, you're still amazing -I'm really shocked -These two are something else
-...and like -I didn't want to be a Sister in the beginning -It was...how to put it...
-well it's like a really dark story -The reason I'm a Sister -was because of the situation caused by my parent's death to Troi
12 -She's... -the same as me...
-Like naturally -My family had called for a Sister -...but
-when she got there -it was too late
-Back then I blamed her for everything -'Cuz if she had been on time -No one would of died
13 -The end of it was -that sister took me in took make me one -I really hated it -I still didn't wanna give up my dream to be a painter
-Until one time when I was on a job -The entire day just went wrong
-Things ended up -making me arrive late
-I knew right there that I couldn't do anything -And I knew exactly how those people felt -But what do you think -those people said to me?
14 -"Thank you"
-Thank you so much -for coming all this way for our grandchild's sake
-...I felt like so ashamed right there -Here I had been blaming that Sister all this time for what happened -When I should have been grateful to her...
-Ever since, I've tried so hard -to make a difference, even if it's just one more life
-I decided to save the most amount of people I could
-Among all my trips to provide treatment -I'd always receive words of thanks from the patients and their families -And that's brought me more joy than anything
15 -Yeah...I'm like -Really grateful to be a Sister
-That's why I don't care if I die as one -Or that I have to throw away my silly dreams to do this work
-I gave up completely on being a painter
-That's why I... -Wait, wait, wait!
-Please, don't put off -that dream any longer!
16 -I... -Really see your way of life, Sister Heine, -as one deserving of the utmost respect
-R- -respect?? Nah--!! -That's my line!! -...BUT!
-We don't have to go that far to be Sisters! -We don't have to sacrifice our dreams or ambitions for this! -I've finally come to understand this
-True, us Sisters are tied to an unbelievably difficult responsibility -But we don't need to throw away everything we have! -It's okay for us to be a bit more selfish! -Heine-san...you should be able to paint as much as you want!
17 -So, please... -Don't let go of your dream
-Like... -you're right -Yeah...
-Thanks, Sister Elraine -You really are -The person I totally look up to
small: Let's meet again! -Huh. -To hear a thing like that, coming from you...
18 -Well, you were the one who taught me, Kiri-san
-When we met, I had only been thinking that completing my duty as a Sister and dying for it was enough -...and even now, I'm prepared to give my life for Kiri's sake
-True, a Sister's duty is important -But that -doesn't mean we can't consider our own happiness
-...If we find a way to cure Troi -Then I bet Heine-san will likely be able to achieve her dream...
-...yeah
-Probably...
-Code 201 -This is Sister Heine -Calling for Sister Chris
19 -Good day, Heine! -How ya doing? -Like, Morning! no bubble: Super-duper!
-The results finally came back -from your checkup here at HQ
-Basically, there's a strong chance that by the time you complete -one or two more treatments, -Your seizures will begin...and you'll vanish...
-Sister Elraine...
-There really is no point -For Sisters to have hopes or dreams... bold: There is no light shining in the distance. / She comes to terms with her destiny.
CHAPTER 15/END NEXT TIME: What do Kiri and Elle do / to fight Heine's fate?!

I remember getting to that page and was like WTF?? I always research names so I totally feel the pain. Scanlators, you better put his name in bold on that chapter!!
01 bold: With the help of Farran, Kiri and co. repel the attackers... box: The night was over
-The very first thing next morning -We went to contact Sister Martha black bold - komi naoshi white: Tankoubon vol 1 on sale 8/4 (mon)!! / The debut work "island" will also be included!
CHAPTER 14 - "Name" -This is Sister Elraine, Code 4003 -Please connect me to Sister Martha
02 -Sister Elraine!? -This is Martha speaking...
-Why didn't you call me yesterday!? I've been waiting! -Anyway, are you two okay? -My apologies, Sister. We're just fine
-Did you meet him... -I mean, Farran Denzel? -Ah-of course! -There's not only that, but a lot more to report about yesterday...
-I bet he turned you down flat, didn't he? -Don't worry about it. I already knew this would happen -He's just not the friendly type... -Can't rely on him one bit
-You'd think he'd have the common sense to pitch in when others need help, but NO~ -He's such a bumbling oaf
03 -Is that you, Martha? -It's been a while -Eh...
-EH!?! F-F-FARRAN-kun!? -W-Why are you with them!? -...you haven't changed a bit
-Eh...then, does that mean... -You accepted the offer? -...about that...
-I... -T-H-A-N-K YOU!! -You actually accepted!? -What a relief! We're in a real pickle right now, y'know -I haven't the slightest doubt in your abilities!
-do-- -Haha! I knew it from the start, you're just a great guy deep down, Farran-kun! -You're there when we need you! -I'm so glad I got to know you -Thank you so, so much!!
04 -Now you two are safe for the time being! Okay, let's get down to business... -SISTER MARTHA!! -PLEASE LISTEN!! -AND GIVE NE A CHANCE TO SPEAK!!
-I see... -You still have that...
-I can't tell whether you two are lucky or not -But thank goodness you made it out of that alive... -That sure may have been a close call, but at least you're still in one piece
-Farran-kun, thank you for saving them -I can't express it enough in words... -Don't mention it -I only fought to protect myself
-...that's our situation -so then, what comes next? -It seems they already know we're here -Should we get going right away?
05 -I'm not so sure -judging that the Gazelle know your location, since they sent three assassins... -It's quite possible they've got more waiting to ambush you outside the city -You're likely safer inside the city
-Ah yes, Farran-kun, you had something to say? -Right...
-If it's only four days until the Falzen arrive -I don't mind having these two around
-But let me re-emphasize -I won't be protecting you, -Rather, I'll just be accompanying you
-...Yeah, no worries! -Having you around is enough to keep our attackers at bay!
06 -...but -How come you decided to hang around?
-All I can say is I changed my mind -Don't let it bother you
-...but, now the real problem is that girl -She hasn't shown up since I took down Avro...where the heck did she go?
-"Having that kid around" -"Is sure to change your destiny"
-Guess my best option -Is to just observe...
-So let's recap things -I want you two to lay low in the city for a little while longer -Obviously you need to stay somewhere else -To the best of your ability, try to keep in touch with me -All right, you three...
07 -It'll be praying -for your safety
-We've got to find another inn to stay at -...all right, then I'm heading back to Tessera's -Let me know when you've decided on a place
-Now's your best chance to stock up on supplies -Since you won't be able to go out for a while -I'm pretty sure you're safe for today but -whatever business you have, try to wrap it up as quick as you can -Yeah, we know (little bubble by the shoe is "chiri", kind of like the ringing a metal hoop makes?)
-WAIT RIGHT THERE!!
-Geh! -That voice is...!
08 -You! The tall guy! -Your name was Farran, right?
-LET'S FIGHT! -YOU AND ME!!
-Heh, she still hasn't gotten over last night... -Ah--you see, her dream is to become the strongest -Probably after watching you yesterday, she's started to see you as her rival...
-so that's what it was
09 -Let me make myself clear--I won't take no for an answer! -I've been waiting my whole life to meet someone like you!!
-And I've finally found you! -Out of everyone I've ever met... -You're the strongest!!!
-GET READY FOR THIS!!
-my, my...
10 pwn'd! lol, same pose from last week ---wha--!!
-Eh!?
11 -Wha...what just happened?! -Gng!!
-Let me go!! I demand another round!! -Let's start over!! -...give up -There's nothing you can do
-We don't know that yet!! -This move won't work on me again! -I can still--!!
-You know better than I do -You caught a glimpse of my movements just now... -No matter how many times you try, the result is the same
-Kuh...!!
-Sui... -Actually lost...
12 -I may not look like it, but I've taught countless people the ways of martial arts -You definitely have the talent -But you require more time and training
-Once you're strong enough to take me on, -I'll gladly accept your challenge
-...with those kinds of people I have to use a line like that... -Or else they'll assault me again right away box: Like this with every annoying opponent
-Sui-san...
-Sui-san, um... -Are you okay...? small top two: tsubu... x2 bottom two: I.../I lost...
-Um, hello? middle: My first loss... more left: Complete loss... left: Even though I've never lost left: from the time I was born...
-I... -Lost...!!!
13 -UWAAAAAA~~~H -U-wah!! no bubble: Shock!
-UWAAA~~~H -I... -I wasn't expecting this... bottom: Super shocked!

-U-uhm...are you...okay? (below is "sniffle" x2) -Shwat up!! Gwo away!! Dwon't wook!! -Dwie you stwpid idiot! -sniff...Iw'm gwonna kwill him!! -boo-hoo -It's like she's really cute but scary at the same time!
14 -We'd better head back... -I hope Sui snaps out of it...
-But man, what a shocker -I never thought she'd have that side to her -No, not just you, I was pretty startled too! no bubble: stop making us stand out! bold sfx around bread is "spin spin"
-Farran... -Hard to believe there's someone that strong out there
-Kind makes ya... -want to lose confidence... -Eh!? -W-why's that?
-Well, I mean, I'm just so shocked -I would have never imagined Sui losing -Seeing that there's someone who can beat her without breaking a sweat is just...y'know
15 -What if there's even stronger guys than Farran out there who are going to attack us? -What will we do?
-Like Zezu... -Is he stronger or weaker than Farran? -They're so much stronger than me -So I can't really tell
-All I can say for sure is that Zezu will attack us again in the future -And i'm pretty sure...we'll have to fight...
-But -When that time does come...
-I -Promise I'll protect you
16 -Everything will be fine!
-I mean, didn't you want to become strong? -Not just for me... -But for everyone else around you
-You can do it! -Kiri-san, you can definitely do it! -I believe you'll make that wish come true
-And I'll do whatever it takes to help you achieve it -Because I trust you can
-Isn't that -What we agreed about yesterday?
17 -So there's no more need -For that long face
-This is like -the complete opposite of usual
-In a slick -and roundabout way -You're basically telling me I've just gotta try harder, aren't you? -Eeh?!? U-u-uh no-not at all!!
-H-huh?? I wanted to cheer him up... -but I only made it worse...?
-Thanks, Elle -I'll give it a better shot
18 -Yeah!
-Ah... -you just... -huh?
-You just used my name for the first time!* -Oh, really? -Really! (please insert this into your scanlation: ) *t/n - If I've made Kiri use Elle's name before, I apologize. I might have because using "you" all the time sounds tacky. Plus, there was no way to know the author was going to pull this trick ; )
-You've always just said "you" -Ah.... -Alright, forget what I just said, I won't use your name again... -Why?! -Cuz...well... mumble mumble (illegible)
-Weren't they such nice kids?
-...maybe
19 -Aw, they're making me blush!! -Don't you just love them? You won't find such wonderful children anywhere else! -Quit hitting me! -What did I do?!
-Last night... -When I saw that masked guy, I was sure...
-That the kid... -wouldn't have been able to beat him
-...I'm just watching them -It's not like I've acknowledged them or anything -uhehe
-It's going to get a lot more fun -from here on -little by little...

upper right: The boy who saves / the girl who's being saved / the girl who fights...and...?
above author's name on the left: Everyone's talking about it...here's a gift for all the strong support! / presenting the new-age fantasy / with a gigantic 45 page chapter and center color!!
02 About the story... / When the traveling Sister Elle holds the young boy Kiri's hand, her Troi seizures are stopped. In order to unravel the secrets behind his power, the two set out for the Sisters' main headquarters, and in order to do so they request the aid of a martial artist named Farran, who declines. And now, they are right in the palm of the enemy's hand...!
bold: They enemy is closing in!!
-It is present day -around 8:45 pm
-Above the Deodorad bridge...
03 -Hold it right there! Don't you try to run away from this, Kiri! -Give me a break! We know we're going to be attacked -so we have to get out of here!
-Awwww~~ How come!? -All we have to do is wait here and a real, live assassin will strike...! small: This is a big chance! -You're the only one getting a kick out of this, you know
04 -C'mon, I'm right here! Everything'll be fine! -Sigh...listen, we are counting on you -but let's try to fight only necessary battles, okay?
-But where can we go? -Besides, since they've already located us, even if we run... -...you've got a point. Since we're stuck on this bridge it's not like we can just walk out the back door...
-I got it! -Let's first head to the center of town -The alleyways there are like a maze so it's the perfect spot to lose them! -Here we don't have anywhere to run...let's get a move on! -...good idea
-Hey. What should we do? -They're leaving...
-Wanna kill 'em now?
05 -The plan was to strike at the thick midnight but... -our targets are two stinkin' kids. -there actually any point in teaming up for this?
-That black-haired girl who was spying on us since noon... -was with 'em after all. -Seeing how sloppy a job she did, she ain't nothin' to be worried about
-Speaking of which, they met up with that man... -"Farran Denzel"... -Zezu never mentioned him, but if he's in the mix than things could get ugly...
06 -Either way, Farran isn't here-- -Meaning, this is our golden opportunity to take them out. -If they get mixed up with pedestrians, we could be screwed -...well, that's what I think--how about you,
-"poison Avro"?
-Although Zezu selected the three of us, -you are this makeshift team's leader -Neither of us mind leaving the thinking to you -So, what should we do?
-I could care less about the kids...the one I want...
-is Farran Denzel...he shows some promise... -but he's not even here...
- Hey! Look--!!
07 -...and I'm staying behind!! -are you listening to me!? -Huh...?
-Farran-san!
-but... -w-why are you here?
-Tessera asked me specifically -to pay you guys a visit -She did, huh...?
-tonight?
08 -yes... -you will go to see them
-While you spoke to them this afternoon -they were under the watchful eye of vicious people... -So you're saying to go protect them?
-Quit asking the impossible -You should well know...how I... -You don't have a choice.
-If you refuse, then this mask of yours will meet a terrible fate...
-I should mention...that this encounter servers for your sake as well
-With those children around, -your destiny is sure to change... -so...what are you waiting for...?
09 -So you're here because she asked you to... -does that mean that you'll protect us? -...not a chance
-I told you this afternoon...I will never fight to protect anyone else. -I'm only here because she asked me to visit you. -So don't expect anything of me. -Eh? What the heck!! small: (i don't get it)
-Um, hello? -aren't you going to introduce me? -This is that guy you were looking for around noon, right? -Oh that's right -Sui-san didn't meet him...
-This is Farran-san. -We paid him a visit to ask if he would escort us... -Crap! You idiot...!!
-"ask if he would escort us" => "pretty strong guy" (below is written "click click ching!") (below the arrow is "means")
-HEY YOU!!
10 -Let's duke it out, you and me!!! -Wha--!? -Look what you did! -You should never say those words in front of her!! -S- -s-sorry...!!
-listen... -...could you...lend us your strength just this once?
-I understand you don't want to escort us. -But right now, the situation now is different from this afternoon... -so, please...
-believe me, if it was possible, I would do everything to keep you out of this -but...we don't really have any choice right now! -If it were just me, I wouldn't be asking!
11 -But right now -There's someone else I have to protect!
-I swore -to never use my strength for anyone else. -It's an "iron-clad rule" I've imposed upon myself. -I will not use my power -for anything but protecting my own life
-Usually people ask others for help -when they want to protect their own lives -But you say you don't want to get others involved...
-If that's really true, then isn't there something else you should be doing?
-Oh shit -Farran came back!
-Now what? Attack later?
-...heh, so Farran finally shows up... -just perfect!
12 -...we attack NOW!
-Kiri!! -Above you!! Dodge!!!
13 -W-wh -where did that come from!?
-...well, well... -Now he decides to give GO sign.... -Not like it matters to me...!
14 -Oh great... -talk about adding fuel to the fire...
-Kiriiii....don't you DARE butt in!! -It's the guy from this afternoon! -I'M going to finish him!!
-....have fun (small - we're desperate) -Eh? But Sui-san is unarmed! Where's her hoop?
15 Cool!
16 -oh-- -It's you!! (small - the stalker girl)
-AHAHAHAHAHA! -I've WAITED FOR THIS... -LET'S HAVE SOME FUN~!
-(small)....ch! -Lookin' down on me? -You've got a deathwish!!
-u -uwah... -there they go... (small - at amazing speed...)
-what will we do now -Kiri-san?
17 -HUH!?
-hou... -Looks like you've got the speed to keep up with me.
-What a relief... -It seems your power to reinforce your physical abilities was true after all
(in between both panels)-I'm going to enjoy this!
-Another one?!
-Let's make a run for it
18 -Oya?
-Aren't you going to lend them a hand? -I was expecting you to come at me
-Don't misunderstand -I have absolutely nothing to do with them -Nor have I any obligation to help
-ho ho! Is that right?
-But let me offer you a word of caution... -The night -...can be dangerous...
-That boy's name -was it Kiri?
19 -He's the one -who can change my destiny? bubble: We don't have any other choice!
-If that's true, then... -he better not die here...
-haa x3
-Looks like we shook him... -But I bet it won't be long before he finds us -...it feels like...our first day all over again...
-If we keep weaving through the alleys we should be able to escape. -Let's get out of this city as fast as we can
20 -...but is running -really the right thing to do, I wonder... -Eh?
-Oh, you mean because of Sui? -No...I'm sure she'll be fine on her own. -Unless her opponent is ridiculously strong she won't lose.
-I said that because -I was thinking of what Farran said to me (But) (you say you don't want to get others involved...if that's really true...)
(then isn't there something else you should be doing?)
-Our top priority right now -is to "survive at all costs"
-For that reason we tried to get a bodyguard -to ensure our personal safety... -I get that much
21 -But that if like yesterday... -Someone has to get hurt on my behalf... -Or someone has to be left behind on my behalf...I refuse to accept it!
-Yes, I know what that means... -It means we have to fight! -We have to get stronger!
-What?! you plan on fighting?! -This could be our only chance to get away! -Sure, we could get away safe this time -...but then someday, somewhere we'll end up in the same situation. -Staying as weak as we are won't solve a thing!
-When... -I wasn't able to lay a finger on Zezu...
22 -Accepting that fact was so painful -I wanted to die!
-that's why... -I want the strength to fight when others need to be protected! -I don't ever want to go through that again!!
-Let's fight!!
23 -In order to do that, -I need you to lend me your strength!
-But...how?! -We're complete amateurs when it comes to fighting! -We don't even have weapons!
-True, but we do have Flare -As long as our hands together, we're more powerful than average people! -If we learn to use it well, it can become our most powerful weapon!
-Plus, i have an idea... -So...
-...o...
24 -...oka...
-snap
-WOAH!
25 -heh heh heh -There you are
-Shit! He found us in no time! -Are you okay?
-Kiri-san... -I...
-I was... -supposed to be dead a long time ago
-But you saved me... -you protected me... -you promised to help me achieve my dream... -and even now...
-I...believe that you can do it! upper left -I've taken the basic self-defense that Sisters are required to take... -So if you're okay with that, -Then please use me to your heart's content!
26 -Heh! -Thank you!
-Okay -listen carefully
-I've been to this city dozens of times... -I know these alleyways like the back of my hand.
-My plan is... - ho ho!
-To lure him into a cul-de-sac -That's the easy part
27 -Now that you're cornered, -your luck has run out!
-The alleys are narrow -And he uses a spear -which means the attacks he can make are limited!
-He'll either "thrust" or "downswing" -We just need to read his attack
-Using Flare, our movements are twice as fast
-so we should be able to dodge it!
-And then--
28 -I'll use you as a stepping stone
-And fly up high!
-wha--
-Then I want you to give it all you've got
-And swing me back down!
29 -gowah--
30 -Kya! -yeow!!
-haa -haa... -did we do it?
-fu.. -fufufu...fufu -Geh!!
-Gmph! -You really...caught me off guard -But you'll never...!! -never beat me like tha-- side: aaaaAAAAAAA
-gya--!!
31 -wha-- -what just happened!? -...call it hunch, but I bet it's...
-peh! -He was nothin' but show! (small writings are just sfx. not text) -Sui-san!
-hm? -what're you two doing here?
-thank goodness! We were worried about you (well, just a tad) -Ah!! -You guys already beat this guy by yourselves?!
-He's completely out cold! -You're shortening my turn here!! -e..eeeeh!?
-Quit being silly, Sui -I'll have you know these guys weren't even a warm-up! -they weren't enough? no way...!
32 -fu... -fufufufufu -Uwa!! He's still conscious?! -Go ahead, enjoy yourselves... -while you still can...
-Don't think that this.... -Has changed a thing! -There's still one left... -and he's a monster on a completely different level from us...
-Avro Liberica! (アブロ・リベリカ)
-Avro!? That avro!? -Yes...that's the one... -Who also goes by his other name...
33 -"Avro, the poison assassin!!"
-good evening, -Farran Denzel
-"Poison Avro" is here... -And he's after us...?! -you know him?
-He's probably with Farran right now -...but he'll be sure to come after you next
34 -Wait! What? -who is this guy?
-A terrible criminal...he poisoned 200 people to death in one night alone... -that's how he got the name left: -"Avro the poison assassin"! left: -Countless people, not just Sisters, have been his victims...
-fufu...and the most frightening part -is that he doesn't just kill... -he tortures you well before hand! left - He poisons his victims after they're too weak to move left - and enjoys watching them suffer to death!
-All the crimes I've committed pale in comparison to him! -It's too late for regrets!
-You'd better run while you KAH--
35 -hmmm~ -he's that terrible, huh?
-I wonder how he fights! -I'm getting excited!!
-Wait Sui-san!! -Don't go--!!
(text is zoom!)
-Now what?? It's our fault that Farran-san is wrapped up in this mess! -We have to go save him! -No matter how strong he may be, Farran-san is...!
-Yes, I know!! -Let's find him!
36 -It's an honor to meet you in person -I've heard so many rumors about you...
-like how you took down a 50 bandits all on your own -and so on... -Well, I don't know if they're true or not...
-My name is Avro -Also known as "the poison assassin."
-As that name implies, I'm a master at handling poison. -Poisons are truly interesting substances!
-For years I've been researching -how to create one that causes an excruciatingly painful death... -I've tested it countless times on people during its development -Just to see how effective it is...
37 -And it is splendid! -Seeing people writhing in pain makes is such a rush! -Every time I watch, -It stirs up my desire to develop deadly poisons more and more...!
-but i'm sick and tired of dealing with those frail sisters. -I want to test it on a stronger body! --like yours
-Care to -pick your poison? (t/n - roflamo)
-Hold it!!
-You're after us, aren't you!? -Leave him out of this!
38 -(hou... -he actually survived)
-Oh, but I can't. -He's very important to me. -Rest assured, I'll be sure to kill you next
-Screw you!
-my, my...
-guh! -eek!
-I'm busy with Farran right now... -mind giving us some space?
39 -ow..ch! -What are you two doing? -Can't you see you're no match for him?
-Why did you return -if you had just run for it you would have been safe -why did you throw yourself right back into danger?
-....because it's all our fault -you got involved in this mess -How could we let this slide?!
-Just to be sure -you're after me right now, correct?
40 -For the time being, yes. -you're the first person I want to experiment on
-...good...
-(since that's the case) -(i can fight) -Skilled fighters can tell how powerful their opponent is just by standing face to face... (t/n - he is likely talking about himself, kind of like 3rd person) -Farran! You really are strong after all! How exciting! It's been too long since the last time I could savor my opponent!
41 -he... -is fairly skilled...
-This is wonderful, Farran Denzel! -Not only are you strong...
-but stupid enough -to challenge me with your bare hands!!
-he's got a weapon!!
-Allow me to correct -something you said earlier.
-Remember the 50 bandits I took down? -That wasn't true...
-there were actually -500 of them
42-43 O RLY!?
44 -eh!?
-Ha!
45 -Avro, was it? -You're certainly strong...
Farran Denzel
This day marked the start of how he became deeply involved with us
-Well -in "average" terms...
bold - Destiny takes a new turn /as Farran, "the protector", steps in!
CHAPTER 13/END Next time: What is Farran's "secret"?! And an invader slips into town!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2336[English] [Translation] Double Arts 12 by shrimpy2008-06-14T20:15:59+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comSorry, real life job interfered again, didn't start till now. Posting this so scanlators can get started, i hope to have the last 5 pages done by 2/3 hours tops (need to take a break). If you have any questions about bubble order or placement, pm or reply, i understand how confusing this comic can be. If not otherwise specified, remember it's in order right to left, top to down.
EDIT: DONE. a few revisions, look for blue. oh and I spelled it "farren" by accident, make sure you put farran (fixed all instances here now)
01 -Okay, I know we're supposed to find him around here, but -I somehow doubt we'll find him with just this portrait... bold left: A task nearly impossible! CHAPTER 12 - "The rumored man" picture: (read these from top to bottom, regardless of alignment) -key feature! -His bangs make an "X" -Farran looks like this! -And he's dressed in all black!!
-I mean, this city is pretty big... -And it's not like he'll take forever to eat lunch... komi naoshi (author)
-I wonder if we can really trust this drawing in the first place... (that's quite a face...)
-good luck searching!
02 -How come she draws herself so well!? -Woah, it looks just like her!
-Does this lady have strange talents or what
-Um, Kiri-san? -hm? -Might the person over in that window be him?
-EH!? You mean the rumors aren't true?! -...i guess not...
-I'm like, so shocked! -I've only heard such terrible things, so I imagined someone more...evil -People must be going around speaking lies about you, Farran-san!
03 -Oh! so what about that famous story?? -You know, the one where you busted the steel castle gate bare-handed?? -...that thing was just worn down with age -I just happened to open it when it couldn't take anymore
-Ooh ooh!! -How about the one where you fought and captured a bear alive?? -They say you pinned it down with sheer intimidation! -That's a lie too -I went on a bear hunt just once, so probably somebody blew that out of proportions... (sheer intimidation??)
-Ah!! And what about that... -Y'know, where you were surrounded by 50 bandits and single-handedly took them all out...!! no bubble: she's seems really excited...
-That's a lie too
-Haha! Of course! Like, it was 50 people after all! You couldn't be human to take on that many!
-50 people... -not even Sui could handle that
04 -Excuse me, Farran Denzel-san, -correct?
-...We'd just -like a little bit of your time -There's something important we need to ask you
-...so that's what it was -I understand your situation
-I was wondering what the Sisters could possibly want from me -I would've never imagined they were referring to you two -Those two ladies are the worst
05 -Sister Martha -and Rei...
-I mean, Tessera Gordon -Those two always ask annoying favors -He was about to call her another fake name?!
-I don't suppose you two -filled Tessera in on the details? -eh? -n-no we didn't
-We aren't supposed to tell anyone who isn't directly involved with us about our situation -It's not just that we're trying to avoid our information getting leaked to the Gazelle, -But also that we're afraid of getting innocent people mixed up in this -I'm sure Sister Martha told us to talk to you because she believes in your skills -but, why do you ask?
-Because if Tessera knew all this, -I'm sure she wouldn't have introduced me to you
-T-that means...?
06 -Back on topic... -What the heck was that about!?
-I'll get to the point -I refuse to act as your personal bodyguard
-Judging from your circumstances, I know that's probably not enough to convince you, so I'll add this: -I have no intentions to guard anyone -...or should I say, I can't
07 -Can't...?
-What do you mean? It doesn't sound like you lack the ability to or anything -Would you mind telling us why -I know it may not seem like it, but our lives are on the line here
-I can't answer your question -Eh~~?
-Just like you have your reasons, -I've got mine top left set: - Some things are better left unsaid -I'm sure you two have secrets you'd rather keep? below: When I say no, I mean it
-Rest assured, I won't tell a soul about you two -So please accept my apologies and go ask somewhere else -...I have no desire to protect anyone
08 -WOOF x4
-WOOF X4 -...I'm guessing he's bad with animals...
-...Okay -We understand
-Please accept out apologies -Sorry for bothering you with this difficult request -Let's get going -o-okay
-Better find an inn or we'll have to camp out -A-anything but that!
09 -I wonder if Sui is all right, all by herself... -No problem, plus she's got money (your money) no bubble tiny: This room is great -Plus, she's got a great nose -I'm sure she'll track us down by scent -I-is she a dog??
-But what a let down, about Farran... -Hm? Well, it wasn't possible from the start, so what could we do?
-It would've been a relief to get more help, -but i'm actually kinda relieved he refused -huh?
-I understand that it's a bodyguard's duty to protect their client's lives at all costs -But, it's possible we'd be faced with a similar situation like yesterday's -That doesn't sit well with me
-Others getting hurt for our sake... -Having to be protected by others is just too much for me to bear
10 -Well! -That's just my ego talking! -It's not like we really have any other options -So I'll just have to put up with it!
-Let's get in the shower and freshen up! -On a journey like ours, we better use one when we can! -Aha... -guess you're right
no bubble: take a shower...
-Dwah--!!
-H-hey! -Are you okay!? -I...I didn't even realize...
-That now... -we're all alone...!
11 -After all that yesterday, all I could think about were the Gazelle and the Order and all that stuff... -Today too, my mind was filled with Farran and what we'd do after that... -What will I do!? Mink, Urates, ...not even Sui is here to help! -We're all alone!! -Why didn't I realize this sooner!? <-(t/n - condensed the whole thing into one line, took out the brackets)
-I just remembered
-We need to make our beds -BED!?!
-W-w-w-what are you thinking about, Kiri-san!? -Huh? I mean, we need to set it up, right? -C'mon...
-Like this
12 -K...Kiri... -He thought everything out for me... no bubble: Now I don't have to worry no bubble: About anything strange happening! -I don't want to get kicked awake in the middle of the night any more!! no bubble: This defense is perfect!!
-So you go take a shower first -I don't mind going last -Okay! I'll do that~ (sniff) -W-why is she crying!?
-How strange of you to drop by so late, Farran -Care for a drink? -no thanks
-What's with that mask?? -It was on sale at the bazaar... -i just had to get it... -Aw, aren't you just the cutest thing??
13 -Re... -I mean, Tessera -I met two kids this afternoon -What was that all about?
-You know... -I'm sure they told you everything -So... -That's not what I asked
-You know something -What did you see with that "fortune telling" of yours?
-Don't tell me we were "destined to meet" -Me... -and those kids...
-...not to worry... -You'll be running into them again soon -yes...
14 -...in fact, tonight...
-...what are you thinking, everything will be fine! -Kiri is a good person -He's not the kind to peek during my shower! Definitely not! -That's why everything's fine--just perfect!! -Nothing to worry about at all...
-Absolutely nothing to worry about~!! -This is completely natural, no different than being by myself! -Besides, I took showers just fine back at Kiri's house... -Even if...! -Even if I were to feel embarrassed, I should be able to get used to it right away! -I have nothing to worry about from here on out, that's why... -YOU NEED TO HURRY BACK HERE RIGHT NOW, SUI!!! box: *all said while feeling super self-conscious
-...but, it's not like we told Sui where we're staying -Will I really be able to last the rest of this trip?
-...snap out of it! -This is no time for me to be chickening out! -I shouldn't be turning red over a silly shower...
15 -Woah! Nice body!
-Yo!
-FUGYAAAAA -Dwah!! What happened?! -S-stop!! Don't come in!! -Why're you screaming? Chill out! -This is the innkeeper, are you two all right in there?? -WE'RE JUST FINE!!!
16 -SUI-SAN!! -WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE COMING IN FROM!? -THIS IS THE BATHROOM!!! -Huh? I'm a girl so what does it matter? -EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE A GIRL, IT'S STILL EMBARRASSING!!!
-Who cares about being topless? Look!
-C-CANT BREATHE -Aaaah!! I'm sorry!! -Aahahaha -It's great and all that you two are having fun and all -But I hope you know this isn't the time for that
-Didn't you catch on? -You're been trailed by somebody ever since the afternoon
17 -Eh!?
-After I went my own way, I kept a good eye on you two -I figured it'd be easier for someone to attack you if you were by yourselves... -...that's terrible!! -And sure enough, somebody showed up
-It was SO much fun stalking your stalker... -Throw on some clothes while you still can -Once the night gets thick, -He'll be sure to attack!! -Your eyes are sparkling...
18 -Let's see...who should I send to pay them a visit... -All the guys I've got nearby are...
-These peoples
-Who will it be?
-...ngh
19 -Those kids got terrible luck -"Avro (アブロ） the poison assassin" -They won't make it out of this one
-How boring...
bold: Evil quietly closes in! box: ...and now
-Back to the present day,
-Around 8:45 PM...
CHAPTER 12/END NEXT TIME: Celebrating this series' popularity!! Double Arts is getting a cover illustration, center color, AND a massive 45 page chapter!!
(t/n - oh pleeeease let those be 45 pages of action and not text...:P)https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2333[English] [Translation] Double Arts 11 by shrimpy2008-06-08T14:42:36+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comDon't worry, I haven't dropped DA yet. I admit though, for some reason last week's chapter really got on my nerves (plus i was under lots of stress when I was trying to get a buncha transes done). So, thank you for the encouragement. On with the chapter:
01 top: The story so far... Sister Elle, who's infected with Troi, is prevented from falling into deadly seizures only while she holds the young boy Kiri's hand. In order to unravel the mysteries surrounding his power, the two are trying to head to the Order's main headquarters. But first, they are to search out a certain man in the city of Deodorad.
bold: The two (+ Sui) head for a new city! / Just what awaits them??
-Man...No surprise this carriage is so empty, -being that we set out first thing this morning and all -It's like we had it reserved! lower right: komi naoshi CHAPTER 11 - "Farran Denzel and the Fortune-teller"
-Are you sure we did the right thing? -With the festival and all... -hm?
02 -Aren't you the person most responsible for its preparations? -Will the city really be okay without you? -Hmm~...probably not -But they'll manage
-You saw how they were all getting ready, right? -That was actually for a rehearsal they're going to hold in a month
-The real deal is a half a year away! -As long was we make it back before then, everything will be all right
-half a year, huh? -I wonder if you can really make it back safely... -Sure I will! -And you better come see the festival! Believe me, it's worth seeing -(eheh) s-sure...
-Hey, aren't you hot in those clothes? -Aha... -I kinda have to wear this...
03 -Because we never know when the Gazelle might attack -Us Sisters have to hide our identities whenever we can, with the exception of being inside cities or around large crowds
-...Wait, so the reason you wear your uniforms inside of the city is -because it's a warning? -Yes, exactly
-This uniform tells everyone around -"I am infected with Troi, so be careful"
-But doesn't that in itself make you an easy target for the Gazelle? You must have it rough... -Yes but, the chances of being attacked inside a city are actually extremely rare
-As long as I'm careful, there's no need to worry -Haa...tough, aren't ya?
04 -What the heck! -You mean to tell me you aren't going to be attacked anytime soon??
-So this entire day's a waste, is that it? -Kiri, make yourself a target! -Or do you want ME to attack you?? bottom right is: waah waah!! -Are you retarded??
-Sui-san!! -Your hair!! -your hair!! -Huh??
-People can catch Troi even from contact with their hair! (well, not if it's already cut) -Please be more careful!!
-GYAAAAH!!
-The more you tell a person not to, the more they wanna try it... -And I sure do! -...people normally react the exact opposite... -Quit it
05 lower - She's really starting to get on my nerves! -Anyway, how much longer till we get there?? -I'm sick of waiting already! -...It's already been a couple hours, right? We're almost there...
-Look -It's already visible
-That's Deodorad
06 -This place is bigger than Turm all around -And that's because it grew prosperous from trading
-Also unlike Turm, there's way more Beigar than Nagins -"Beigar"? (t/n - 壁の民, lit "barrier people". ベイガー has a held vowel, that's why i threw in the r)
-Yep! -No one can come close to the quality of their arts, crafts, or architecture -They're the race most skilled with their hands
-The heart of the city is located on the river's sandbar -You see how that bridge has been turned into a lively Bazaar? -The ones to build it -were none other than the ancient Beigar, who cleared out this land -wow
07 -Ah -Does that mean you're a Beigar too, Kiri-san?
-Well, you know, you're great with your hands Kiri-san! -Plus I never got to ask you exactly what race you are... -As for me, I'm just your run-of-the-mill Nagin...
-Not telling. -EH!? -W-w-w-why?!
-Can't you tell me?? -Why are you talking his side, Sui-san?? -Aa~ah...maybe some other time
-Hey! I got an idea! -How about we split up for now? -What?
-Didn't you catch a whiff of fresh cherries? -I really want to buy some! -You really think this is some kind of vacation, don't you?!
08 -Besides, do you actually have any cash? -Nope...but I'll figure something out -Yeah, right! Where are you getting that confidence from?
-you do know this place is NOT like Turm, I hope -Swiping from the shops or trying to eat and run won't work here -And you most certainly can't punch people just because they get on your nerves (small - or beat them nearly half-dead) -But I can at least start a fight, right? -No way!! (small - why does she think that's okay??) -I feel sorry for those poor people in Turm...
-The first thing we need to do is find a place to stay... -Even though we're in a rush, we still don't know how long we'll be here, after all -...which means, we'd better combine all our funds. How much do we have?
-It's going to be a long trip, so we have to plan carefully -Ah, you don't have to worry about that
-The Order gives us plenty of spending money -Plus, they guarantee to cover any expenses incurred by the trip
09 -So, we'll be fine for a good while -If you need anything, just let me know -I do!
-Can I buy a barrel? -huh? -of cherries! I need them! -NO small - how can she be so serious?
-Listen, Sui...having you run around on your own is problematic enough -Our lives are in danger -You're our lifeline right now, got that?
-You're the one who offered in the first place -So take responsibility and--
-SON OF A---!! (Woman or not, I'm gonna...!) -A-aaaah! -SHE TOOK MY WALLET!!
10 -...well, I know her -She'll be back when she's starving again -...what is she, a cat or something?
-We'd better start searching for that "Farran Denzel" guy...
-I've got a friend here in the heart of the city who knows just about everything -I'm sure she'll know if he's here or not right away -She's someone we can trust
-So... -Don't worry about the Gazelle -What're the odds we'd be attacked again right after all that yesterday?
-We'll be fine -...i think
11 -A fortune-teller? -Your friend is a fortune-teller?
-Yes -That's what she does in this town -She can tell all kinds of things -Wow! That's amazing! lower left: ...girls sure like this kinda stuff, don't they? (fortunes...)
-We're not related or anything, she's just an old friend of my mom's -When I was little, I often came here to play
-This is the back entrance -The shop's front door is facing the street -I always used this way to get in
12 -...Um, what was it that you bought back there at the Bazaar? -Hm? -Oh, just a little something that she'd like small: Can't come empty handed, right
-I know! -Go ahead and knock for me
-Hm? -Just try! It's pretty cool
-Uh---??
-Good afternoon! -And welcome, Kiri-kun
-The tea is already made, so come on in -Your friend there is welcome too
13 -Master! -Kiri-kun and his friend have arrived -Ossu!
-W-when did you tell them we were coming? (that surprised me--!) -huh?
-I didn't! -It's always like this
-Hm~~ -Right on time
-Kiri~! Good to see ya! -Certainly been a while! -How ya been?
14 -Woah! You got taller, didn'tcha? -And your friend there is a Sister, hm? Nice to meet you! -Ah...nice to meet you
-The pleasure is all mine -come on in -and have some tea!
-Sorry but we don't have a whole lot of time -Oh, but I did want to give you this -It's not high quality or anything but, if you'd like...
-Kiri--!! You're such a good boy! -I love you I love you I love you!! -...Urm...I'm kind of in a rush... -Could you just hear me out?
-Farran Denzel? -Yes, I know him
15 -Really?? -Of course! He's famous, after all -He's the son of a well-known martial artist -The school has pupils all over the world, and is supposed to be really strong -Although, I think Farran's still pretty young -...This room is a mess...
-Do you happen to know where he--
-Phew--! -...ah, what were we talking about? -Drink again and I'll smack you!!
-Hm, Farren...I think he was just here -What?! -I just so happen to be an acquaintance of his, you see...
16 -A world-famous martial artist? -To think that Martha knows a person like that...(makes me kind of nervous) -Do you know where he is right now? -Hmm...if I remember right,
-He said he was going to get me lunch -uwah--!! -Are they really just acquaintances!?
-If you look around here I'm sure you'll find him -It hasn't been very long since then -Thank you very much
-Oh, make sure to mention I sent you and he'll be sure to hear you out -Just tell him Salumeri Kandora sent you... -Ah!! Master, wait!
-That was the last fake alias you used! -Oopise, I forgot! -Last fake alias?!
17 -Tessera -Tessera Gordon -Since you're going to meet him, just use that top left - I don't know what's happened that you need to talk to Farran, but... bottom left - Take care of yourselves and good luck!
-...the time has finally come...
-So that's Elle-chan...? -She's much cuter than I expected...
18 -At a certain restaurant...
-B-boss...I can't...I-I'm too scared!! -I-I'm scared too!! H-h-hurry up and get his order!!
-Isn't that Farren?? -I've heard nothing but terrible things about him! (no bubble - I can feel his evil from here!) -All you need is to take his order!! -If you don't go I'll lower your pay!
-Damnit! -I'll claim worker's comp for this!! -Mother, father... -Forgive me, but this might be my last day to live!
-U-uhm... -H-have you decided on your order...?
19 -I'd like the "kid's meal"
-What??
-Ah...
-And don't forget to put the flag on top (t/n - ROFLAMO) -Thanks bold: Is their last ray of hope / this strange man!?
Chapter 11/END Next time: How will the two approach Farren?? It's going to take some creative thinking!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2328[English] [Translation] Double Arts 10 by shrimpy2008-06-02T01:49:33+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comMy biggest gripe with DA is that in chapters like these where nothing happens, there's just BOATLOADS of pointless next. This "tiny" chapter took a whole 2+ hours just to type!! Seriously, PLEASE cut the bubbles in half, Komi-sensei!!! (not like he can read this, i suppose...)
01 -Code 4003-- -Sister Elraine -Please connect me to Sister Martha
CHAPTER 10 - "The Morning of Departure" -...Code confirmed -Please hold while I connect you -okay bold left: After managing to escape Zezu, the two return to town... bold right corner - komi naoshi
-...Kiri hasn't said a word since then...
-But it's not surprising...after all that... -Maybe he's acting strange to avoid further shock... -That and...he might still hold himself responsible...
-Kiri-san....
02 -K-Kiri-san!!! Are you all right!? -Fuwa--?? -You fell asleep while you were standing!! Is something wrong?? -Uh...well...
-That guy really beat the stuffing out of me, i'm still aching all over -That made me pretty beat... -And don't forget that we helped transport all the Sisters too -I kinda spaced out and drifted off to sleep...
-...so you're...normal after all... -Wh-what??
-I thought you were still downtrodden... -I was really worried, you know!
03 -...Well, I'm still in shock.. -Just...it's not my nature to dwell on it forever
-There's plenty of other things we need to focus on, right? -For the sake of all those who put their lives on the line for me -I can't stay depressed
-Kiri-san
-I wholeheartedly agree with that line of thought!! -UWAAAAH! -SINCE WHEN WERE YOU LISTENING IN??
-I heard the report while you were en-route to the hospital -First things first...good job on keeping yourselves safe -Erm...would you mind not eavesdropping on people's conversations anymore??
-Well the situation has certainly gotten worse -I never expected them to figure out about Kiri so soon...
04 -The man you met, Lucci Zezu... -He is indeed one of the 11 who call themselves Gazelle. I'm sure you already know this. -To be honest, the fact that you encountered him directly and got away alive is nothing short of a miracle
-...Exactly how much does your organization know about the Gazelle? -Please tell me everything you do!
-Of course, I intend to -It's just that we don't really know that much ourselves -After many sacrifices, all we've gained is but a handful of knowledge...
-More than once in the past, -We've managed to capture a Gazelle assassin -From them we learned about the 11 Gazelle
-But sadly, that was the only thing they knew -All of them simply accepted the job for money, and were never told anything regarding the actual goals of the Gazelle -All we learned was the number of leaders...and...
-The name of Lucci Zezu
05 -The Gazelle hire assassins and give them their orders... -And it seems that the majority are under him -Out of the top 11, he's the only one whose name and face are known ---Actually, we only learned about his appearance recently-- -We were able to construct a portrait out of the features we gathered from the assassins
-...After an entire century, all the knowledge we have... -...amounts to that -...WHAT!?! -A WHOLE 100 YEARS?!
-WHEN THE HECK DID THE GAZELLE START?! -ISN'T HE A "FOUNDING MEMBER"?! YOU MEAN HE'S IN HIS 100'S?! -...granted, I can understand why you're confused -Just listen
-The Order of Sisters was established well over 200 years ago -However, it was only at the start of this recent century that we've been able to make our place in society
-The Gazelles also began around that time -And down to this day, their influence continues to grow -We first learned of the name Lucci Zezu back then
06 -We've hypothesized -That the 11 called Gazelle are actually -people who continue to succeed the names of their predecessors
-Clearly, the other 10 each have their own name as well -Maybe the current Zezu acquired his position like so -...if we're right, then this would explain why he's called a "founding member" -...well, maybe
-So in the end, you guys still don't know what the Gazelle want -That guy mentioned a "plan"... -that "treating Troi causes us trouble" -and something about killing sisters because they hinder that plan...
-But it really bothers me that he said anyone who is immune to Troi will be eliminated first -And yet-- -He let me go!
-It seems like he knew all about my power...about Flare -Does this mean there's another person out there who has this besides me?
-What bothers me is that -in just one glance he knew Kiri-san isn't infected
-Only sisters should be able to tell that! -...and yet he found out...
07 -We can draw some conclusions based on this -The Gazelle know something about Troi that neither we nor the Order do -They can do things that only Sisters are supposed to be capable of -And the know all about my power, which can suppress Troi -...and that means...
-My "Flare" -May very well have a direct link to Troi itself...
-Because he knew whatever it was... -He let me go alive...
-Still, -It's just a possibility...
-I'm sure if we go to your organization's headquarters, and they study me -We'll discover whatever that is (if we're still in one piece)
-So Martha, we talked it over -and finally decided it... -decided what?
08 -We're -Leaving Turm
-...i see -I agree with your decision
-We are no doubt marked by the Gazelle already -If we stay here innocent people may get involved
-And I can't bear to have that happen to any of my important friends here
-...Very well, let's change your rendezvous point -I believe this to be a wise choice
09 -Don't worry about the sisters who were at the Church, we'll take care of them -We'll decide on where you'll meet up with the Falzen as we go... -Meanwhile, you two will head in our direction
-For starters, would you mind heading to "Deodorad"? -There's something I'd like you to do -"Deodorad"? One city over?
-A man named "Farran Denzel" should be living there -I want you to go pay him a visit boxes clockwise, beginning with upper left: -St. Arles Church / Falzen Squad (enroute) / Deodorad / Turm bubble: Maybe you can convince him to join you
-What kind of person is he? -Hmmm...well, he is an outsider... -But he's an acquaintance of mine, and there isn't really anyone else we can rely on
-on second thought, maybe he won't... -He's a very silent and moody fellow, and isn't very fond of escort work -When negotiating with him make sure to use my name and don't worry about the price -But...yeah, maybe it's impossible -...what the heck!!
10 -Well, it's not like we have any other choice -Let's go there
-We'd better start getting ready -And actually, I have a friend in that city and I'm sure I can find her* right away (t/n - no gender given. this is a wild guess, since she's a sister, it's probably female) -If we take the morning carriage, it's only a 4 to 5 hour trip
-Kiri-kun
-...please, stay alive...
-You bet!
11 -Please accept my apologies! -After giving you my guarantee that we'd stay safe, -That's what happened...
-...but why are you apologizing for it? -Elle-chan, you didn't do anything wrong -We understand. You can stop bowing to us -E-eh...but...
-How can you be okay with this? -Don't you understand that today was really, truly dangerous?! -We were close to losing our lives! -I...if anything were to happen to Kiri, then I--
-Stop worrying! -I'm not worried about this one bit! -He's not the kind that will die on us!
-My son is far tougher than he looks! -So you have no need for concern! -In fact, I'm more worried about you, Elle-chan! -u-huh?
-Kiri! You're a man, so you better protect her! -Even if you get injured in the process! -Is that something a mom should say!?
12 -Yosh!! So now that that's settled, it's time for a farewell party!! -We'll give this everything we got, and make you a delicious meal! Right Papa? -C'mon, let's wash up! -u-uh...h-hello??? -It was only for a short while, but we're gonna treat you to the works!

CHAPTER 9 / END NEXT TIME: Filled with mixed feelings, the two head back to town...https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2324[English] [Translation] Double Arts 8 by shrimpy2008-05-18T01:32:32+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comHow about a double arts icon?? don't know if its possible cuz the size but try the logo silhouette...just a suggestion...
01 top: THE STORY SO FAR: The virulent disease called Troi ravages the world...a mysterious boy named Kiri who is immune to it, along with the traveling Sister Elle, visited a secret Church reserved for Sisters to hire a bodyguard. But there they encounter the evil Zezu, a Gazelle assassin, who possesses a fiendish power!!
-STOP IT!!
bold: The right thing to do is run...but...? Komi naoshi Chapter 8 - "His decision"
-Are you kidding me!? I refuse to accept this!! -Kiri-san!! -You may very well die, do you know that!? -Why won't you stop them!?
-Even you must--!
-Ow...!!
02 -Kiri-san... -Please hear me out
-Just bear it... -and let's escape! -I beg you!
-Please!!
-I can't believe this!! -how can you all...
-DAMNIT!
03 -Thank you...
-Fuwahaha! -This is just too much!
-Since it's come down to this, -guess I got no choice but to kill you all and go after them... -And the funny thing is, I never had any intention to kill you Sisters -I'm being honest here! -Killing Sisters is a job reserved for my lackeys, after all
-Without Edda, we've got 5... -Even so, we're still no match...
-haa -haa
-Even still...!! -We'll give them more than enough time to escape!
04 -Everyone... -Attack!! -Right!
-Since you all insist... -I'll grant you quick deaths
-Haa.... -Damnit!!
-I can't... -Shit...!!
-Haa
05 -I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!
-I'm going back after all!! -We can't leave things like this!
-...Yes we can! -The only thing we can do right now is escape as far as we can....!! -Why?!
-I just can't leave things hanging like this! -Don't you feel the same?! -PLEASE LISTEN!!
-Those Sisters...Rose-san included... -Were willing to give up their lives for our escape! Don't you understand that?!
06 -I understand so well that it hurts! -Because you are so important to each one of them... -Because you carry the potential to cure Troi... -They're ready and willing to give their lives in exchange for yours!!
-If I was in their shoes, -I'd do the same thing!! -So...
-You mean to tell me -We're going to keep letting people die like this??
-Even if we escape this... -We'll find ourselves right back in the same situation again! -Are you going to ignore those people too?! -And the next time after that? Is your conscience willing to live with that?!
07 -If that's the case... -I can't! And I won't!
-You are... -far too kind...
-If -you really want to go back there, -Leave me behind and go!
-WHAT!?
-The minute you let go of my hand, -I'll be sure to die -If you're okay with that, then be my guest!
-There's no way I'm letting you die! -This is the only way I can live up to Rose and the others' resolve!
-ARGGGGHH!! -THAT'S...IT!!
-YOU.... -STUPID LITTLE...!! -Eh!? -W-what are you...!!
-EEEEEEEK
-W-w-w-ait!! -PUT ME DOWN!! -Just shut up, would you?!
09 -Do you have any idea what you're doing?! -Turn around now!! -Stop this foolishness!!
-I understand very well!! -But... -I know you agree with me deep down!
-I don't want any sacrifices!! -I don't want any deaths! (t/n - on second pass i think he's saying i don't want to die, but there's no clear object so i'm just leaving it like this. my guess is that it's contrast, like, i don't want anyone dying for me (sacrifice), and at the same time i don't want to lose my life. bleh. i'm being OCD) -I may be childish, but that's really how I feel! -So--!
-The important thing to do...is follow what your heart tells you! -If you don't, you'll regret it for life!! (t/n - woah. napoleon dynamite moment)
-I refuse to live with regrets!!
-It was then... -Kiri-san...
10 -that I stopped wavering -Kiri-san, I... -Please put me down -Hah?! Stop being so stubborn!! -No, I mean...
-I'll run with you
-That's right...
-The first time we met, -I swore I'd give my life to protect you
-But...you saved me
-After that, I met your family, and I...
-I was truly happy to be alive -I was happy that I hadn't given up
-I was grateful from the bottom of my heart
11 -Extremely grateful for everything
-That's why
-Rose-san!! -Everyone...!!
-...Damn you!!!
-Even if we had a measly 1% chance, -I was willing to wage everything on it
-What have we here? -You two...!!
12 -BUWAHAHAHAHAHAA x2
-Wow! -Why the heck did you come back here? -These kind young ladies gave their lives to let you escape! -It's been a LONG time since i've met guys as naive as you!
-Kiri-san! -Sister Elraine...! -W-why...!!
-Lemme guess--you're here to save them? -Don't make me laugh! -All you did was save me the trouble of having to go after you!
-However, -It wouldn't be until later... -Think...! -From here on out, it's life or death! -How can we attack him? What can I use? Think!!
13 -So? -Tell me, what were you hoping to do?
-Fa... (t/n - i think, fast) -That we'd come to realize
-that measly 1% chance... -Didn't even exist
14 -Gwa!!
-Kiri-san!! -Woopsie, you stay here -H-hey...ow...!
-Ngah!!
-Huh? -What was that? sfx - cough
-A Troi seizure?
-Hahaa! I see!! -He was stopping your seizures! -Not only is he immune, he can even do that?? -How in the world is that possible? -I'm dying to know!!
-You gave me a GREAT idea!
15 -eh...?
-It's an easy game!
-Y'know, when it comes to Troi's seizures -Within 30 seconds the entire body starts to turn transparent
-Within one minute, the individual completely disappears...game over
-So... -Can you save her before time's up? Or not...?
16 -WHY -YOU
-DON'T -SCREW WITH ME!!!
-Woah there, cowboy -You serious? -You're just going to run straight at me like that?
-This sword is just bait! -My first priority is to get to where Elle is...!
-Think you can cut me?
-Just try!
17 -Oops, too bad
-Kiri-san!!
-Uho...
-I have to do something too! -This isn't the time...to be complaining about the pain!
18 -I have to move!!
-My leg -Has already disappeared!
-My body -is vanishing too!
19 -So~ how many seconds do we have left? -Guh! -I don't think you have time to be captured!
-D-DAMNIT!! -How the hell is he so strong?! -This is bad...this is bad!! -And all my fault!!
-Everything is my fault!! -I... -I have to do something!!!
bold: Will his hand reach her rapidly fading life...!? -I guess we'll get a good long look -As your precious little companion fades away
CHAPTER 8/END NEXT TIME: In this seemingly hopeless situation, will they find a way to survive!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2322[English] [Translation] Double Arts 7 by shrimpy2008-05-11T00:50:57+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comAaaand being the idiot I is, I managed to start typing the oh-so-lovely summary page in my browser only to accidentally hit this stupid back key on my keyboard and poof! I get to retype it all. Luckily I think I've finally found something that will prevent that at last. Hopefully this is the last time (or else i'll go crazy)
EDIT: DONE. I THINK. LET'S SCANLATION!
01 top right: What terrible event do our heroes encounter? Presenting the new-age fantasy on everyone's minds--now with a center color!
blue: Without letting go of that hand, she moves slowly but skillfully. Chapter 7 - "Crows swoop down" Komi Naoshi
02 Whee, summary page. Being a glutton for punishment, here it be:
THE STORY OF DOUBLE ARTS (same in japanese) The incurable disease called Troi infects the world...Elle, a traveling sister, visits Turm while offering treatments when all of a sudden she is struck by convulsions, but is saved by a young boy from the town named Kiri. For some reason, "as long as she holds his hand" (or more precise, as long as she touches him), her convulsions cease. [if we examine Kiri's body, perhaps we'll discover a cure...] Thus, willing to wager on the chance that Kiri's mysterious power holds the key to saving the world, the two wait one more week in town for reinforcements arrive before heading off for the Sisters' headquarters. Just what lies ahead on their journey...?
vert right: If you take this hand, I'll never let go!! panel: Come what may, we'll survive this / and make it to your headquarters! / of course, / together! vert left: My dream is to rid the world of Troi panel top: Likely I / wouldn't even live to be 20 panel bot: Of course I want to see it! / A world without Troi... / That's why I've lived until now! / But...!! (t/n - all of these lines, even the vert, are lines right out of ch 1. If you go back and look you can be consistent. I was too lazy to read it myself--just trying to finish this chapter)
KIRI LUCHILE 16 years old. His family runs a clothing store. Trusted by the townsfolk so much so that he is responsible for the Festival of Thanksgiving. His fingers are extremely nimble, and his artistic talent is second to none. Perhaps the reason he is immune to Troi is the mysterious power he possesses, named "Flare"...
ELRAINE FIGARETTE (Elle) 16 years old. A Sister. Has lost her friends and family to Troi. If she stops touching Kiri, she goes into convulsions. Because of this, she is forced to be always together with him. Has terrible bed hair and violently tosses and turns in her sleep.
CHARACTERS
SUI Something like an ex of Kiri's. A member of the rare race of "Clear Nagins". Very strong. Favorite food is cherries.
MINK LUCHILE Kiri's mom. Tiny, but very kind.
URANTES LUCHILE Kiri's dad. Huge, doesn't talk much, but very kind
MARTHA LAGUNA Sister who gives Kiri and Elle instructions via phone. Someone with a very high position within the Sister's organization.
panel left: To give him treatment? / No, that can't be / Treatment wouldn't take this long, and he doesn't appear to be a guard / You were walking around town with your hands held yesterday, weren't you? / I wonder why you'd intentionally put yourselves at such a disadvantage...? (t/n - again see ch 3? i think for the real dialogue) GAZELLE ASSASSINS A mysterious organization that targets Sisters. Although their intentions are unclear, it is thought their objective has something to do with the fact that Sisters can treat Troi.
remaining box: DOUBLE ARTS' SPECIAL TERMS
TROI Dating back almost 700 years, this disease has claimed over 1 billion lives and yet still has no effective treatment. It is transmitted by directly touching the skin. In its advanced stage, convulsions begin and the victim's body turns transparent, ultimately disappearing entirely. This is why it is also called the "Vanishing Disease."
SISTER Term indicating membership to the Order dedicated to the treatment of Troi. It is served by an extremely small number of rare young women who show an unusual tolerance to the disease's effects. By touching an infected person's body, they "Drain" the Troi and halt its progression, however in doing so they take it into their own bodies and as a result shorten their own lifespans. There are two kinds, "Maille Sisters," which specialize in treatment, and "Militaire Sisters," which specialize in combat. (The unit being dispatched to Kiri and Elle's location is the Falzen squad, an elite group even among the Militaire)
FLARE A mysterious power Kiri has possessed since birth. Kiri himself calls it this, but the name's origin is unknown. Through direct touch, his partner's immunity, regeneration, and even physical strength are amplified. (t/n - origin unknown? try SQUARE-ENIX, DOOFUSES)
03 -Just a short while before the two of us -Arrived at St. Arles Church... bold: Kiri and Elle have found a bodyguard, but meanwhile...
-Someplace we didn't know -Circumstances were certainly moving in a bad direction...
-Hey, Lenke -What is it, partner?
-Why is this happening to us?
04 -Why? you're asking why?? -Because you lost to some kids, that's why -I'LL KILL YOU, BASTARD!!
-YOU LOST TO THOSE SAME KIDS TOO! -YOU'RE THE ONE AT FAULT FOR NOT FREEING ME EARLIER BACK THERE! -YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST OPENED THE CELL! -good lord, won't he ever shut up?
-...there's an awful lot of crows today...
-You REALLY piss me off -I wanna slice 'yer throat right now!! -Now, now, you really need to watch that temper. That's why those kids beat you -WHY YOU LITTLE...!!
-HEY! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?! -YO, WARDEN! WHAT'S GOING ON? THIS AIN'T NO PLACE TO STOP!
-HEY!! -SAY SOMETHING!!
-HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME!! -Yo...
05 -YO....
-You two seem to be doing a lot better than I expected -Who's there?!
-I'm certainly glad to see it, but...just what the hell are you two doing? -All of this is costing me quite a pretty penny, you know? -N-No!! It can't be...!!
-Why are you... -I-I mean... -Boss, (t/n - hard to convey in english. he switches to a more polite pronoun you here so i had to make something up) -What are you doing here??
-...who'd you say, Lenke?
06 -It's Zezu -The man who hired us...
-Are you going to kill us? -Kill you? -Hahaha! Lighten up! Why would I do that? -Capable men are hard to find, no point in throwing away such valuable resources
-Even if such capable men such as yourselves were done in by a pair of snot-nosed kids (ha ha) -He already knows?! (It was just yesterday)
-I have no idea how things came to this, -but I know you two definitely have the skills -I'm going to have you two continue the same kind of work you've been doing. Fail me again, and... -Y-yessir...
07 -Then... -I have something to report to you, as part of my assignment
-It's about the boy -I met in Turm
-So... -I think it's about time we make our way home -You're right
-Kiri-san
08 -If you'd like, you're welcome to stay -Sorry to keep stopping you like this... -Huh? Why?
-Well, you see...it's about our lunchtime, and... -You're more than welcome to join us
-Heim shouldn't take that long to prepare... -Plus, wouldn't you want him to escort you on the way back as well? -So, please...
-Well, I guess we could... -Then, we'll accept the offer!
-Sister Rose's meals are always delicious!! no bubble: You'll be surprised! -H-hey, stop it! -Well, I'd better get it started so please wait a bit...
-Come to think of it, Kiri-san, your mom -I mean Mink-san is also very skilled at cooking! (her food is very delicious) -huh? what'd you say?
09 LET'S COOKING -Dad's the one who does the cooking... -HUHHH?! (is that right?)
-We take turns -Because mom can't cook, it's between me and dad -Eh!? You can cook too, Kiri-san?! -Well, if I could use both hands box: At that time, we payed no notice
box: Because things were going smoothly -Please cook for us next time! -Then, please invite me too! -...um...you're kind of...already with him... (t/n - not sure how to take the last line, it's more like "are you sure", which is open and up to the reader to get (kind of makes more sense in japanese where you fill in the blanks anyway), so i intentionally wrote in my take on what she really means)
-But then again, we had no way of knowing
-that evil was already so close nearby...
-KAW!!
10-11 PWN'D -There was no advance warning
-Nah...!!
-eh!?
-Heim-san!?
12 -Gngahh!! -KYAAAAAAAAA!!!
-What is it?!
-Guh...
-ERAGHHH!!
-Wha---!!
13 -Who...are...
-you...!?
-What is it?! what's going on!? -Who yelled??
-Heim-san!!
14 -Hmmm~ let's -see...
-Who's the one...?
-As expected of a hidden church, there's nothing but Sisters...
-...But not you! -You're the one, kid!
-wha- -huh?!
15 -...He's after Kiri?! -Not the sisters!?
-Hah! -So you really do hold hands all the time! -Thanks for making my job easy
-...what are you--?
-Oh, my~ -This boy really ISN'T infected...
-Wha--!?
-How can this be?! How can he tell!? -Only Sisters are supposed to be able to determine who's infected and who's not!
no bubbles first: -...It's almost as if this man... -already knew about Kiri before he arrived! -Wow, to think this kind of thing was possible... -Until I saw it with my own eyes, I had my doubts
16 -A human who fails to be infected, even with Troi... -This is a first -Gotta give it to him, his intuition came in handy for once
-Well, -In the event that a person like this should appear -I suppose he should go at the top of our hit list, hm?
-Run away, you two!! -Edda! Grab your weapon!! -R-roger!!
-Rose-san... -Hey! Who is this man!? Is he with the Gazelle!?
17 -I know who he his... -There's no doubt he's a Gazelle, but compared to the assassins you know -He's completely different
-His name is -Lucci Zezu
-He is one of the eleven people identified as members of the Gazelle -And one of the founders of the very organization itself!!
18 -...He helped make -the Gazelle!?
-It isn't odd that you don't know -This is information held secret even among the higher ranking members of our Order
-hahaha!! Come on now, no need to look so afraid -Cheer up, why don'tcha? -I haven't come to hunt you sisters -I've only got business with the boy
-What the hell -IS Gazelle anyway!?
-You want to kill me -Just because I can't catch Troi? -Why do you kill Sisters too!? -What is your reason for all of this!?
19 -Why you... -This one's for Heim-san!!
-Eat this!!
-What's my reason?
sfx bubble: vara (poof? not quite...any better sfx?)
below that: Wha--
-He... -He vani--
-RUN FOR IT, EDDA...!!!
20 -You want to know why?
-Because they're in my way
-The fact that sisters can treat Troi is a big problem for me
-For someone immune to Troi to appear... -If by some chance they discover from him or her a way to treat the disease, then that would be even worse -Edda!! -Hang on, Edda!!
-...we can't let anything get in the way of our "plan"
-What did he just do!? -All I saw was that he vanished...
-He's a monster...
21 -None of us are Militaire Sisters, we're just ordinary ones! We... -We don't stand a chance!
-Sister Elraine -Take Kiri-san right now -and get out of here
-Eh...
-Then you're...!
-Hey, not so fast -What are you trying to do? -It sounds to me like you're saying, "we'll sacrifice ourselves -and buy you some time, so hurry up and escape!"
-....you Sisters are all the same
22 -DON'T SCREW WITH ME!! -I don't care to be saved by the sacrifice of someone else! -I get that he's not normal! -But that's all the more reason we should join up! I can lend you strength!
-NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME!!
-He is not -The kind of enemy that you can do anything about
-Please take care of the rest -Sister Elraine
-...Then, allow me too! -If I'm nothing more than a hindrance to Kiri, I'll-- (t/n - it is not said here but I strongly suspect she was about to offer that she remove herself from him) -Sister Elraine!! -You still have a mission to complete from Sister Martha, do you not?
-Please look after -Our remaining hope... (t/n - furi says "that boy" in stead of kanji for hope)
23 -FWAHAHAHAHA! -What a touching scene this is! -It was really engrossing, I admit (t/n - more lit, I was watching it before I realized)
-...but this won't change a thing -You'll all be eaten by the birds
-Hey!! Wait!! -I refuse to accept this!!
-C'mon, guys! You can't! -I SAID WAIT!!
-STOP IIIIIIIITTT!!!! bold: What is the proper course of action?
Chapter 7/END Next time: In the face of Zezu's threat, what does Kiri decide to do!?https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2318[English] [Translation] Double Arts 6 by shrimpy2008-05-02T16:50:30+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comThanks for waiting. Don't say I didn't warn you, I posted in the RTS (yes, I saw the complaints). I will finish this today.
On the bright side, at least you have something to read during no WSJ! I'm actually doing you a favor! (/runs for dear life)
EDIT: Done, but could use a proof.
01 top: About the story... -The very moment Elle, a traveling sister, is struck by deadly seizures, Kiri comes to her aide. For some unknown reason, she is safe as long as they hold hands. In order to unravel the mystery of Kiri's powers, the two head for the sisters' headquarters (t/n - i just noticed this summary hasn't changed in any of the chapters, but i likely write it slightly different each time. if you've been scanning this, you might want to paste whatever you had to make it consistent)
-Our mission: To lay low in this city
-Until we meet up with the Falzen squad bold: Fate continues to keep them together, bring new encounters!
-Sigh -G'morning, you two! -It'll probably take them 7 days to get here
-And this is day 1 -Good morning, mother! -Awww, you're giving me goosebumps calling me mother!
-Call me Mink! -That would make me happier
02 -Ah, now that you mention it
-My name is Urates -But you can call me uncle
-...You could even call me papa accidentally once in a while -Yeah, right! -Is this some family comedy skit!? (t/n - translated this literal. kinda hard to explain in english, but kiri and mink's response here is a typical line in stand up skits)
-Oh yeah! -There's a favor I need to ask, Kiri-san -hm?
-Could you follow me around today? -Reflecting on yesterday's events, -There's something we really need
-In order to get it,
03 -I want to travel to the Sisters' private residence, -The Church of St. Arles bold: Exactly what does this fate of theirs have in store...? CHAPTER 6 - "Body Temperature" / Komi Naoshi
-You want a bodyguard? --Why's that again?
-Like, isn't that Falzen squadron already on their way here? -It's for our protection UNTIL they get here
-We've already been attacked by those assassins twice -It's entirely possible the guy from yesterday had more partners -Granted, the odds aren't high, but... -The possibility is there...
04 -So that's why, huh -And you think we'll find just the person at this St. Arles Church? -Yup!
-What about Sui? -You sayin' she can't do the job? no bubble: she's got skillz (t/n - me, intentional. not typo) -ummmm....I'd like it to be someone a little more conscious of innocent bystanders...
-Like I mentioned earlier, St. Arles Church has become a private residence for us Sisters -It serves to support our traveling work, and isn't known to the public
-The reason for this secrecy must be... -To keep it hidden from the Gazelle -right?
-Exactly -Well, there are other reasons... -But anyway, there's always at least one person there -With skills good enough to protect it, just in case!
-I was thinking we'd try to convince whomever it is -To join us just until we can leave the city
05 -Hm?
-woah! You weren't kidding about this place being hidden! -I've lived here my whole life and never seen this path! -Well yeah, that's how we protect its location... -HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
-Mind giving me your names, please -I'm Heim, the guard for this area -You look like you might be a sister, -But you can't bring outsiders in here
06 -I am Sister Elraine -I'm faced with a very urgent situation and have come to make a request
-Elraine!? -Heim-san!
-Did something happen? -Is someone there?
-Huh?
-That's...
-HEY EVERYONE!! -C'MERE, C'MERE!!!
-what the...!?
07 -NGAH!!
-Um, excuse me!! -W-w-w-what is it!? -Hey! Don't be rude! -Ow! Quit shoving! -Gya!! -What? what's going on??
-Um...might you be... -Kiri Luchile?
-Uh...yeah... -what... -about it?
08 -See! He's the real thing!! -I heard he was in Turm, but this close?! -He actually came here! -ooh! Should I get his autograph?! -Stop being rude to him!! -What...the heck... -...dunno
-From the way they're dressed, they're all sisters?
-Yes. The only ones allowed here are Sisters and their Guards, after all -Eeek! We can't be standing here and ignoring him!
-Ah, please excuse us! We were surprised! -Why do you know Kiri-san?
-We received a worldwide bulletin from Sister Martha herself -The public is still unaware, -But us Sisters are all aware of the current situation
09 -No matter what circumstances, we were all instructed -To support you two no matter what it takes
-So this means... -You must be sister Elraine? -Everyone knows your name -I figured I'd get the chance to meet you sooner or later -Eh...??
-Elle, you never told me you're a celeb! -No...I'm nothing like that -Wait, you don't know?
-Among us Sisters, there isn't a single one who hasn't heard of you by now! -Uh... -That so?
-Out of everyone who has Troi, there's no one like you -At the mere age of 8, you were recognized as a Sister, and you've treated the most people to count -Everyone looks up to you
-Don't stand there, come on in!! -All we have is tea, but please -Make yourself at home!
10 -"Drain"? -It's what we call the process of "treating" people -"Drain," because we essentially such the poison out
-While an ordinary sister can only Drain several hundred times, -she's done it somewhere in the thousands... -That number represents the number of people saved -It's simply a feat no one can match
-Back then when she was at headquarters, working like a maniac, -She earned the name "white fairy" -GRR!! THAT WAS ALL MARTHA'S FAULT!
-"fairy"...? -You just laughed at me, didn't you? -Nope
-But... -The seizures came
11 -The amount of treatment we provide -Likewise shortens our lifespans accordingly -Bgmf!! -With a tolerance to the disease like yours, -If you hadn't been a Sister, you would've lived a very long life
-I was supposed to live to be around 20 at the pace I was treating people -Or at least, that's what I was told -But to think my work would come to an end so quickly...
-How old are you now? -16 -Same as me, huh?
-But you -discovered Kiri-san!
-He will change the world! -Yeah! -And then we'll become like living proof of the past!
-Wow! I can't believe this is happening! -You said it! And maybe he can even cure Troi!
-We'll be cheering you on! -If there's anything at all we can do, just say the word! no bubble: Gya!! Living proof? ahaha
12 -Ah, I see -So that's why you made your way here
-Just leave everything to me! -I'm confident in my skill -This place is plenty peaceful as is, -So I'm sure it'll be fine on its own for a short while
-I'll accept the request -to protect you two -Thank you so much!!
-Well, I'm sure you have preparations to make so we'll just go on ahead back to the city -We'll meet up later, okay? -Right.
-Kiri-san!
-Um, if it's all right with you -Can I shake your hand?
13 -Since you have the power to stop Troi's seizures, I just wanted to try holding your hand for a second... -Uh--if you think this is rude, then please forgive me! -What? No, I don't mind. Sure -here
-Aaah!! THAT WAS MY IDEA!! -NO FAIR! NO FAIR!! -Um, can I try too?! -I really don't mind...
-Wha-What is this feeling?? -Oh, that? It's like, well, you know, like this...! -Eeeeeh??? -Looks like a certain someone was too dense to realize it... -What was that!?!
-Go on! You're the last one!
14 -Uh...I-I think I'll pass... -Why are getting all embarrassed? -You'll remember this day to come! -Go, try it!
-U-uh... -Please be gentle... -Exactly what does she think this is?!
16 -I started off cold, didn't I? -The reason for now -Is probably because your power is keeping Troi in check
-...I... -I contracted Troi when I was just a little girl...and then I became a Sister -I never had the chance to touch a normal person before -That's why
-To actually see how warm an average person's hand is-- ---how warm a normal hand is-- -I... -I finally remember this feeling!
-Thank you so much, Kiri-san! -I will never forget this! -Ever...!
-Thank you!
17 -Now, now, it'll be all right -Kiri-san! Thank you again! -Actually, you reminded me too of a person's warmth -So...
-I wish you a safe journey
-Hey -What they just said about the chance of curing Troi-- -Am I really the only one?
-I...I really had no idea about any of this stuff -Neither the disease, nor about Sisters
-Meeting these Sisters today, -Seeing their smiling faces,
-Realizing just how weighty a burden they carry, -I don't know if this is sympathy or a sense of duty -But, if there's anything I can do, I want to help -...is the kinda feeling I got
18 -To see someone in tears from a simple handshake... -I would've never thought it possible in the world I've known... -Even the idea of leaving this town -has never crossed my mind...
---ah...w-wait a sec! This means, like, -now I've got an even bigger responsibility in getting down to your HQ??
-What's the point of that anyway?! -No one can say for sure that if they examine me they'll find a cure! -Uwa! What if they find out I'm useless, and I betray everyone's expectations? -I won't be able to face anyone ever again! -Well um...let's just believe in those odds...
-I'm sure things will be fine -I for one believe that you have the power to save people, Kiri-san -Call it a hunch...
box: meanwhile...
19 -A few hours earlier -In the Seel Plains, NE of Turm...
-Someone -was on the move bold: A lone cog has begun to turn.../Does this mean something terrible lies in store for those two?!
CHAPTER 6/END NEXT TIME: To celebrate this series' popularity, we bring you an extra 4 pages and a center color! --- (t/n - looks like DA is hitting it off...no surprise, right?)https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2316[English] [Translation] Double Arts 5 by shrimpy2008-04-19T13:36:16+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comKiri's power is obvious, it's because he's a keyblade master! Why does the comic act like it's so complicated?
EDIT - PAGE 4 ADDED. IS IT DONE?!
01 -Your ex...?
-...that means... -You two were going steady... -in the past?
bold vertical: Does this mark the start of some crooked love triangle!? -Yep! You got it! -HOLDONJUSTAMINUTE! lower right: Chapter 5 - "Special" / Komi Naoshi
-You mean DATING, right? -Please don't say strange stuff like that. After all, no one can ever tell how many guys she's seeing at once -Hey! -Stop making me look bad! I'm not that loose!
-...then how many are you on now? -ah? um...
-....10...? -DOUBLE DIGITS!?
02 -Besides, -Her sense of romance is totally off
-Quit prancing around and saying you like everybody! -Especially when you don't really like 'em in the first place -It's only a matter of time before every young guy in Turm is your ex! -What are you talking about? Confessing is the best part! -But I can't help it that no one lives up to my standards
-How many times did we go out? 3? -T-three times?
-She confessed three times -And dumped me three times -Poor Kiri-san!! no bubble txt: Was happy, then broken hearted (t/n - i wasn't entirely sure, but i'm thinking he means three separate occasions, like getting back together if that makes sense)
-Ah! Oh yeah! -Could you continue what you were saying earlier?
-Sui-san! I was extremely surprised during the fight...even though you're not that much older than me, -You're incredibly strong!
03 -Well, -I am a Nagin after all -So it's a given I'm strong
-Nagin (t/n - kanji is lit. "warrior peoples")
-All the people of our world belong to four major races -Out of them all, the one with the largest population, and the one known for their valor and physical strength, -Would be the "Nagin"
-For centuries this warrior race has used their military prowess to subjugate the land -Even though wars have ceased, their descendants still continue to live throughout our world -But Sui is special because...
-...I'm special because I'm a "Clear Nagin" (t/n - kanji is lit. pure-blooded) -I'm sure you know -how rare we are these days
-I want to get even stronger! -A Nagin that can't fight is nothing but trash!
04 -I was thinking about hightailing it outta here, too -If I stayed in this town any longer my talent would go to waste -There's no one left to fight, after all -It'd be bad for my health
-no one to fight? -yeah
-About 3 years ago -She decided one day that she could work by fighting -So she challenged all the guys in the city, eventually taking on each and every one
-First were the guys in her age group, -Then came adults about one or two sizes larger than her -She'd sometimes even bet on the match -There were mercenaries and soldiers... -And she eventually took on entire groups of people
-The result?
05 -She never lost-- -Regardless of the opponent, not even once! -The number of people she's defeated is easily over a thousand
-Eventually, she even lost interest in -traveling swordsmen and mercenaries since they weren't good enough
-Well, probably the only man she challenged and hasn't lost to her is me -Huh? You must be really amazing after all! -WHAT!?
-ALL YOU EVER DO IS RUN AWAY!! -FIGHT ME FAIRLY!! -LEAVE ME ALONE! -WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BOOST YOUR STUPID EGO!?
06 -Feh! Forget you then! -I thought those Gazelle assassins had more than that but whatever! -I'm going to bed
-Way to brag, even though you used my power! -Can it!! Oh, but do look me up, okay? Like, if this happens again -What power are you talking about?
-Eh? Uh? -Why are you staring...?
-C'mon, Kiri -You didn't even tell her about it yet? -But still,
-You're holding his hand and you didn't figure it out? -Hah! Are you retarded or what? -Eh... -eh!?
-Didn't you ever experience your body getting lighter?
07 -That's right...come to think of it... -The moment Kiri grabbed Sui's leg it felt that way
-But if I think back, I felt it yesterday too... -No wait, all day...I hadn't noticed it before, but I've been feeling much better than when I first came to this town
-It's such a pain to try explaining this power to others -...Ah!!
-I totally forgot! It's almost noon--I gotta get to the plaza -Eh?? You're not going to tell me!?!
-Um, I'll do it over there, because I gotta help with the festival -Festival?? -Hah! -You really don't know a thing about Kiri, do you?
-Just follow him -It's not like you've got anything else you need to do -After all, he's
08 (counter-clockwise starting upper right) -The one person -Most responsible for Turm's Festival of Thanksgiving -Morning, everyone! -Yo, Kiri!! Mornin'! -We're out of decorations, got any more? -Check out the gate! It's done! -You brought a girl with ya? That's a rare sight! -Morning Kiri!
-Turm's celebration is the biggest in the entire area -Today the entire town will be participating in it! -And even tens of thousands of people will come from neighboring cities
-...then why are you in charge of such a big event? -Well...it's more like people ask me to help -plus, it is kinda fun
-by the way...
09 -You can touch my skin anywhere, not just my hand, and be okay, right? -Like my shoulder or arm? -Eh?
-See, I've got a lot of work today -so I need both hands
-I thought about that too... -I think it'll be fine -Oi, Kiri!! -C'mere a sec! -Ok
-Couldja carve this 'ere up fer me? -Please! -Sure, in a moment -Just grab my neck -okay
-Wah
10 -SO FAST!!! -Oh! Thanks a billion!
-Heh! Yer always as quick as lightinin'! -What would we do without'cha? -Although this is the only thing I can do... -Wow, I'm fine -Thank goodness, this makes things a lot easier
-What are ya talkin' about? Ya got that power too! Ya cured my 'lil sis' cold! -In fact I still owe ya one!
-...cold? He cured a cold? -Hey is that... -yeah...
-That's the sister from yesterday...
-I knew it! (I saw her too) -Sister...you mean the ones with Troi? -If you touch her you'll get it -But she's holding on to Kiri!!
-Ah...!!
11 -Ah! Hey everyone, about that... -It looks like I'm immune to Troi
-It's probably thanks to this power, I don't really know -But...
-Kya.. -wha--! (bottom right to left) -Sisters aren't all doom and gloom! -All you need to do is be careful not to touch 'em -If you just touch their clothes, you're absolutely fine!
no bubble: Eh? Really?? -...Hah, I was wondering about that this whole time -I thought it was something far worse -Looks like we have nothing to fear! sm: (they're just normal people)
no bubble: Who was afraid of them in the first place? -Hey, someone go tell the town -Sisters are nothing to be afraid of
-Thank you... -why?
-That aside, tell me about your power!! -What was that about you curing a cold?? -Huh? Oh yeah...
12 -Since I was born with it, -I don't know really understand why or what it is... -Simply,
-Anyone that I touch -Experiences a boost in their vitality, including myself -For example, it strengthens people's immunity, or healing power
-If I touch someone with a cold for a while, they'll recover quickly -Well, I never imagined it would work against something like Troi too
-How's your shoulder doing? It doesn't hurt, right? -Eh?
-T-that's right... -Even though I was injured yesterday, -Since I didn't feel a thing I totally forgot about it... -I can't believe a power like this exists...
-And there's one more cool thing -That my body can make possible
-What's that? -HEY, KIRI!!
13 -We need to move this! Lend us a hand! -Perfect, now I can demonstrate it -Eh? what?
-When a person touches my body, -Our physical strength--both stamina and muscle power-- -Is approximately doubled
-Eh? -Basically holding my hand doubles our power overall
-That's not all--If another person joins in, -All of our strength is tripled
-With 4, quadrupled -With 5, quintupled -Including Kiri that makes what, 30 to 40 people? -We're ready any time!
-Elle -Make sure to get a good look -while holding on
14-15 -This is -That power -WHA---!!
-10 people multiplies it tenfold -100 people, 100-fold -We're all as strong as the number of people joined in
-...no way...
-Never seen anything like it, huh?
-I call it -"Flare" (t/n - in case you're clueless like me, flare isn't just a fire attack from final fantasy. it also conveys the meaning of "spreading out", so a fitting name for this ability)
16 -He has a body impervious to Troi -He's clearly a boy like no other -...but he may also be
-Far more "special" -Than I realize
-That's what -Crossed my mind back then bubble: I've always wondered why I've possessed this power
-Who knows? Maybe -This power was meant for you all along
-Just kiddin'!
17 -That's right! We never understood it either!
-When I was pregnant with Kiri, -One day my body just suddenly got lighter -And I felt fine after that
-Although it didn't take like any time to realize he had a special power, -Because my strength was doubled the whole time, -After he was born I was shocked at how heavy everything felt all of a sudden -She's had the same experience too...
-It's a complete mystery why Kiri has that power -Who are we to comprehend God's ways?
18 -Dunno -Since I'm the one with it, I don't really find this power strange
-True, everyone tries to use it for their convenience -But it's kinda nice being different from others -So I've come to like it -Aren't you the optimist?
-What?? I have to take out the earplugs, I can't hear you! -EEEK!! -TAKE THEM OUT AND I'LL KILL YOU!
-Say what?? -His power -Was something far beyond my comprehension
-Back then, -I truly believed -That it represented hope
-G'night -'nite
19 -Little did I know -That something extremely big was about to happen tomorrow

About the story... Sister Elle was struck by fatal seizures until the moment she was saved by Kiri. As long as she holds his hand, the disease subsides for some unknown reason. In order to figure out why Kiri can do this, the two plan to travel to the Sisters' headquarters...

-It wasn't like this yesterday!
-Kiri-san!
-Sui!! -Can I leave him to you? -You bet! Don't get in my way!
-...w-wait!!
04 -You plan on fighting him!? Don't!! -You're a friend of Kiri-san, right? You're just a civilian! -Run for it! Or else, you'll be killed!

-There's no way she can lose -'Cuz she's invincible!
-That's impossible...
05 -All she's got is a ...hoop? -How is she going to fight with a thing like that!?
-That's an iron hoop -Thought it's the first time I've seen it used as a weapon, it is, after all, just a kid's toy
-It's certainly a good way to attract attention -But allow me to show you how useless that garbage is in the field of battle! -You dared to disturb my hunt, so you leave me with no choice -And it seems that you -are worth hunting too!
-Tee-hee -Ah~ this feeling...I'm getting so excited -I can hardly stand it!

-What are you talking about? -She's the type who's always looking for a fight -Since as far as I can remember, she's always looking for some excuse to go berserk -She probably heard about what happened yesterday and thought we might get attacked again -so she's been tailing us the whole time
-Once in the past, I got involved in something messy -She probably figured if something happened, she'd have the perfect chance to fight -so she followed me an entire three days and three nights -...3 days!?
-So what? I did help you, didn't I?? -Well, yeah, you did great!
17 -BUT WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL I'M CORNERED?! -IF YOU SAW THE WHOLE THING THAN JUST JUMP IN RIGHT AWAY! -HAH!? WELL EXCUSE ME FOR NOT MEETING YOUR EXPECTATIONS! -I DID SAVE YOU IN THE END SO HOW 'BOUT SOME GRATITUDE!? -BESIDES, DIDN'T IT LOOK COOLER WHEN I JUMPED IN AT THE LAST SECOND?! -...what a selfish reason...
-uwah!! what's all this? -this is quite a mess -who did this? -ch!
-People are gathering -Having to sit here and explain everything's a real pain...time to split, Kiri -Yeah, I agree
-Hmm...you sure it's okay? -To just leave him here? -What? Nah, it's fine -Someone will take him in (t/n - says here someone will take him to the...military? i know this is set in a kinda medieval setting, so who are the cops in this case? kinda dodged it here, but if you have an idea do let me know)
-And on the topic, who are YOU? -I heard something about a Sister, -but why are you holding his hand?
18 -Ah! Don't tell me, you're in love with this dimwit? no bubble: Not bad, getting into his room on the first day~ -YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG!! -COMPLETELY WRONG!!
-DAAAHAHAHAHAHA -HYAHAHAHAHA
-Aha...aha..s-so, you c-can't let go of his hand EVER?! -Ah...a...that's the most pathetic story I've heard!! HAHAHA
-...I never imagined people find our predicament so amusing... no bubble: I'm not doing this cuz I want to!! -Um...I'm sorry about all this...
CHAPTER 4/END Next time: What exactly is his relationship with Sui?! And, the secret behind Kiri's power comes to light!
19 -Just who is she, anyway? -And the same for you too, Kiri...
-We've been attacked by Gazelle assassins! -And yet, both you and her defeated them without any difficulty! You guys aren't average people, are you? -Oh, talking about me?
-Did he tell you about me already? -Eh...well, that you're a childhood friend...
-That's all? He didn't tell you anything! -I'm his ex! -The name's Sui bold: What did she just say!? / Another violent storm is brewing!!
-Eh... -SUI!!
-Nice to meet'cha!

Double Arts 003 Indonesian Translation by LegACy __________________________________________________________________ Page 01 Top: Ini dia bagian ketiga! 25 halaman! "Double Arts"
SFX: CLANG OldGuard: Besok pagi, terdakwa akan dikirim ke utara, ke Leimbach. Pastikan kau sudah siap.
YoungGuard: Tapi, apa dia benar-benar salah satu dari kelompok pembunuh yang terkenal itu, para Gazelle? Kudengar yang menangkapnya hanyalah 2 anak kecil tadi siang... Insert Text: Seseorang menghampiri sang pembunuh yang tertangkap...
YoungGuard: Setelah kupikirkan, kurasa Kiri pasti salah satu dari mereka. Lagipula, aku bisa membayangkan dirinya melakukan itu.
OldGuard: Anak itu cerdas, dan bukan hanya itu, ia... Lenke: Hoo...? Maksudmu seorang bocah bernama "Kiri" Menangkap orang ini? OldGuard: ?! Si-siapa itu?!
Page 02 Lenke: Vig, aku cukup terkejut mendengar kau tertangkap. OldGuard: ngh...! Lenke: Pasti kau lengah, karena mereka hanya anak kecil... bukan begitu, partner?
Vig: Tutup mulutmu! Simpan saja ocehanmu dan keluarkan aku dari sini, Lenke! Lenke: Tidak semudah itu...
Lenke: Begitu kau keluar dari sini, kau akan mengejar bocah itu, bukan? Kau hanya akan merusak segala kesenanganku. Tenang saja, aku punya banyak waktu untuk membebaskanmu nanti. Bocah itu telah menarik perhatianku.
Lenke: Biarkanlah aku yang mengurus bocah-bocah yang gagal kau bunuh itu. Bottom: Cerita sampai sekarang... Tepat ketika El, seorang Sister yang sedang dalam perjalanan, mendapat serangan, dia diselamatkan oleh Kiri. Selama ia memegang tangannya, penyakitnya akan terhenti entah mengapa. Untuk mengunkap misteri ini, mereka berencana untuk pergi ke Katedral Utama para Sister...
Page 03 Insert Text: Semalam telah berlalu sejak pertemuan mereka... Title: Chapter 3 "Sui" Lower Right: Komi Naoshi
El: Dimana aku!?
Page 04 El: (Ah Benar juga, aku dirumah Kiri Mereka membiarkanku menginap disini. *cukup mengejutkanku juga*)
El: (... Tapi, aku tidak bisa mempercayai hobinya. Seperti sebuah studio, bahkan milik seorang profesional! Dia pasti bercita-cita menjadi seorang seniman...)
Statue: Jiwa kotoran!! El: (...Tapi jelas sekali kalau dia hanya seorang bocah...)
El: (...Kalau kupikir-pikir, ini pertama kalinya aku tidur seruangan dengan seorang lelaki. Walaupun ia telah memasang sebuah tirai, tetap saja membuatku gugup...)
El: (Tapi, kalau harus melakukan ini tiap hari sampai mencapai markas...? Dimana sebuah kesalahan berarti kematian...)
El: (Ah, sudahlah! Memikirkannya hanya membuatku tambah gugup! Tidak ada gunanya memikirkannya, El! Ini kan misiku...) SFX: Pachi
Page 05 El: ?
El: (Ah! Ada seseorang di depan toko...)
Sui: Hm? El: (waduh!)
El: ... (eh...um...)
Sui: ...
Page 06 El: ...
El: ...? (Kenapa barusan?)
El: (Apa dia teman Kiri? Dia benar-benar cantik... Pacar, mungkin?? Aduh! Kalau begitu, aku sudah melakukan hal yang buruk...!)
El: (Mungkin aku seharusnya tidak memperlihatkan diriku!) Kiri: Hei? Apa kau sudah bangun? Tidak apa-apa kah kalau kubuka tirainya? El: Silahkan!
Kiri: Uwaa!
El: Se-selamat pagi! Kiri: ...Pagi. Emm...
Page 07 Kiri: Ada apa dengan rambutmu? El: Eh? AAAA!
El: Uwaa!! Aku mendapat kepala kasur lagi! Kiri: (Kepala kasur?) El: A-aku sulit tidur di tempat yang tidak biasa! Bisakah kau meminjamkanku cermin? Kiri: Tentu...
Kiri: (Apa itu artinya rambut yang mencuat itu karena dia tidur seperti itu? *Kukira itu sengaja...*)
El: Ngomong-ngomong Kiri,
El: Ada seseorang di depan toko tadi. Kiri: Seperti apa dia? El: Hmm... Gadis yang amat cantik. Rambutnya gelap dan panjang, hampir menyentuh tanah Kiri: Ah...
Page 08 Kiri: Itu pasti Sui. El: ? Salah seorang temanmu?
Kiri: Teman? Lebih tepatnya, teman masa kecil. Yah, sudah agak berbeda sekarang. Tapi dia gadis yang baik, koq. El: Hmm...
El: Mungkin dia membutuhkan sesuatu? *Yah, dia sudah pergi sich...* Kiri: Eh?
Kiri: (Kurasa dia...) El: Aku sudah siap! Hah?
El: Dimana kau mendapat memar itu?? *Kemarin tidak ada!*
Kiri: Bukan, ini... Kiri's Mom: Oh! Kalian berdua sudah bangun!
Kiri's Mom: Pagi! Bagaimana tidurnya? El: Se-selamat pagi Bu Luchile! Kiri's Mom: Sarapan sudah siap, jadi ayo dimakan! Oh, iya El-chan...
Page 09 Kiri's Mom: Hooo, kenapa ada memar? Kau mencoba sesuatu, yah Kiri? Kiri: Tidak sama sekali!!
Kiri: Apa yang tadi ingin dikatakan? Kiri's Mom: Oh iya, ada telepon untukmu. Ada telepon di balai kota, jadi pastikan kau menelepon balas sesudah sarapan El: Emm... Dari siapa?
Kiri's Mom: Dari Perkumpulan Sister
Martha: Sister Elraine!! Apa yang kau lakukan sampai tidak meneleponku kembali!!
Martha: Terakhir kali teleponnya terputus! Apa kau tahu bagaimana cemasnya aku?! El: (Aku lupa untuk melapor...)
Page 10 El: Maafkan aku, Sister Martha. Hanya saja, begitu banyak hal yang telah terjadi... Martha: Huh!
Martha: Jadi? Kalian berdua baik-baik saja? El: Ya, kami baik-baik saja. Martha: Bagaimana dengan Kiri? El: Ya. Martha: Coba kudengear apa saja yang telah terjadi lalu kita lanjutkan dari sana
Martha: Begitu...
Martha: Sepertinya nasib buruk. diserang mereka begitu cepat... Martha: Yah, yang petnting kalian baik-baik saja.
Martha: Amat sangat tidak mungkin kalian akan terus bertemu mereka tapi, kalian harus tetap waspada. El: Baik
El: Sister Martha Martha: Ya? El: Jadi apa yang sebaiknya kami lakukan sekarang?
Martha: Ah benar, soal itu... Aku ingin kalian tetap di Turm untuk beberapa hari ini. El: ?! Ke-kenapa!?
Page 11 Martha: Setalah percakapan kemarin, kami mengadakan rapat darurat. Dan akhirnya, kami memutuskan untuk mengirim tim Falzen ke sana. El: !! Kiri: ?
El: Benarkah?! Kiri: Hei! Tunggu sebentar!
Kiri: Aku tidak mengerti apa-apa! *Tidak usah bersemangat sendiri begitu* Apa sich Falzen ini? El: Oh, maaf!
El: Mudahnya, Falzen adalah sekelompok prajurit yang berada di bawah pengawasan langsung kami para Sister. Kiri: ?!
El: Para Sister memiliki 2 divisi utama. Divisi umum sepertiku, adalah para spesialis yang menyembuhkan Troi. Kami disebut Sister Maille. Dan yang satu lagi...
Page 12 El: adalah Militaire Sister. Mereka bertindak sebagai pelindung kami dan sanggup berhadapan dengan para Gazelle. Dengan kata lain, Sister yang dikhususkan untuk bertarung.
El: Dari semua Militaire Sister yang ada, Yang disebut terkuat adalah tim Falzen
Martha: Kekuatan gabungan pasukan ini sama dengan satu batalion ksatria kerajaan!
Kiri: Woa... Sepertinya mereka bisa diandalkan! El: Tentu saja!
El: Jadi Sister Martha, kau ingin kami tetap disini dan bergabung dengan tim Falzen? Dan bersama-sama menuju ke Katedral? Martha: Benar.
Martha: Tapi, perjalanan ke sana membutuhkan setidaknya satu minggu, bahkan dengan kuda. Begitu kau bergabung, kesalamatanmu sampai ke sini telah terjamin.
Page 13 Kiri: Sepertinya tiba-tiba semuanya jadi beres begitu saja! Kurasa semuanya akan baik-baik saja! El: Yeah! Kejadian kemarin membuatku gelisah, tapi dengan bantuan tim Falzen, tidak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan!
Martha: Oh iya, tentang mereka... Ada seorang anak yang bergabung... El: Siapa?
Martha: Andie Solau juga sedang kesana, sebagai salah satu anggota Militaire. El: Andie ke sini!?
Kiri: Temanmu? El: Bukan...
El: Sahabat baikku! Ketika aku baru saja bergabung dengan perkumpulan itu...
Kiri: Hmmm... Benarkah? Jadi, kau bisa saja bertemu dengan Andie El: Yap!
Page 14 Kiri: *Tahaha...* Tapi ini tetap saja tidak dapat dipercaya... Maksudku, mengirim satu pasukan hanya untuk menjemputku?
Kiri: Eh, maksudku...! Martha: Dari semua data kami tentang Troi, tidak pernah ada orang yang menunjukkan kekebalan terhadapnya. Apa kau sudah lupa?
Martha: Kau mungkin saja bukan hanya penyelamat kami, tapi juga seluruh dunia. Kiri: ...!
Martha: Apakah kau memang kuncinya atau bukan, aku tidak bisa mengatakannya dengan pasti. Tapi sadarlah kalau kau adalah simbol harapan. Tidak ada orang yang bisa menggantikanmu.
Kiri: ...!!
Martha: Jangan pernah lupa, meski hanya sedetik akan betapa pentingnya peranmu.
Page 15 Kiri: Penyelamat?
Kiri: Heh, padahal kemarin aku bukan siapa-siapa... Kurasa kau memang tidak bisa menebak apa yang akan selanjutnya terjadi... El: Yah, berharap saja semoga tidak ada kejadian seperti kemarin!
El: Apa misi ini terlalu sulit bagimu?
Kiri: Ah, aku tidak apa-apa koq. Aku tidak akan kabur.
Kiri: Aku sudah berjanji apapun yang terjadi, kita akan pergi ke Katedral.
Kiri: Sebentar! Mereka tidak akan melakukan berbagai percobaan padaku begitu kita sampai disana, kan?? Itulah alasan kenapa mereka begitu baik! El: Hmmm... Mungkin saja...
Kiri: Sama sekali tidak lucu!! El: Ahaha!
Page 16 Lenke: Maaf?
Kiri: Hah?
Lenke: Apa kau bisa menolongku mencari jalan? Apa lurus di depan sini ada plaza?
Lenke: Apa gedung putih itu bisa menjadi acuan yang baik? Kiri: Yep, begitulah! Tepat setelah itu, kau sudah disana!
Lenke: Bukan, bukan yang itu. Maksudku yang lebih kecil di tengah-tengah. Kiri: Hah? Yang mana?
Lenke: Apa kau tidak melihatnya? Lihat, itu tepat disana... Kiri: Hmmm... Maksudmu yang itu?
Page 17 Lenke: !!
Kiri+El: Ngh!
Lenke: ...!! Kiri+El: Aw!! Aduduh...
Lenke: Lumayan! Kiri: ! Lenke: Kukira kau sedang lengah. Aku cukup terkesan.
Kiri:...!! Jangan bilang kalau kau...!
Page 18 Lenke: Tebakanmu benar Terima kasih karena telah mengurus partnerku kemarin. Akan sangat tidak sopan kalau aku tidak berterima kasih.
Kiri+El: (!! Pembunuh dari Gazelle!)
Lenke: Kalian berdua pasti bukan anak sembarangan, mengingat kalian sudah menumbangkannya... Aku sudah dengar semuanya Tapi, dia biasanya lepas kendali kalau sedang menikmati perburuannya. Kurasa kalian dan aku akan jauh lebih cocok.
El: (Tidak dapat kupercaya... Tidak kukira sama sekali! Aku tidak berpikir akan menghadapi pembunuh lainnya. Bagaimana mungkin dia punya seorang partner?!)
Kiri: (Hmm... Kalau begini... Secara langsung, kami tidak akan bisa menghadapinya. Kurasa tidak ada pilihan selain lari!)
Page 19 Lenke: Hm? Benar juga, dia mengatakan padaku sesuatu yang aneh.
Lenke: Meskipun kau seorang sister, kenapa kau terus menggengam tangannya?
El: (...Ini gawat!)
Lenke: Apa kau sedang menyembuhkannya? Tidak, sulit dibayangkan begitu. Perawatannya tidak lama, dan aku tidak bisa membayangkannya sebagai pelindungmu. Sepertinya kalian melarikan diri sambil berpegangan tangan kemarin Kenapa juga harus repot-repot begitu?
El: (...Ini benar-benar gawat!! Kalau para Gazelle mengetahui kemampuan Kiri... itu bukan mungkin lagi, sudah pasti mereka akan langsung mengejar kami!)
El: Jangan sampai ia menyadarinya!
Page 20 Kiri: Hei! Ayo kita kabur dari sini.
Kiri: Ini seperti kemarin. Kita tidak bisa menghadapinya tanpa rencana apapun. Setelah kita mendapat sesuatu, kita pasit bisa! El: Oke!
Kiri: Ayo!!
Kiri: Uwaa!!
Kiri: Ap..!
Lenke: Naif sekali!
Lenke: Kau benar-benar berpikir kalau bisa lari dari kami? Aku sama sekali tidak seperti yang kemarin.
Page 21 Lenke: Kalau memang ingin lari, setidaknya melawanlah! Dengan begitu aku akan merasa jauh lebih senang!
Kiri: ...! Sial! Kenapa sich kalian ini?!
Kiri: Dengar apapun yang terjadi, jangan lepaskan aku.
Kiri: Aku tidak tahu apa ini akan berhasil ,tapi... dengan barang sebanyak ini, mungkin saja bisa kulakukan!
El: Me-melakukan apa?!
Page 22 El: Haah?! Apa itu?!
Lenke: ...! (Dia menggunakan pisauku...)
Lenke: (Untuk membuat senjata?!) Kiri: Graaaaaaaahh!!
Lenke: (Apa-apan anak ini?!) Kuh!
El: (Kau ini... sebenarnya apa?!)
Page 23 Kiri: DAH!! Lenke: ?!
Lenke: ...Hah?
Kiri: ...! ...Ups?
Lenke: Heh! Bualan yang bagus, bocah! El: Kiri!!
El: Ngh...!! Lenke: Nah, Sister... Kumulai dengan dirimu. Kuharap kau sudah mengucapkan selamat tinggal
Kiri: Tung- HENTIKAN!!
Page 24 Lenke: Fgh!!
Lenke: Gnh!!
El: ?!
Lenke: Gyaaaaa...!
Sui: Hei Kiri! Kiri: !! Sui: Sepertinya kau sedang bersenang-senang di sini!
Page 25 Sui: Di saat seperti ini tidak bisa kah kau mengundangku dahulu?
Lenke: Keh!! Siapa kau!?
Kiri: ... Pas sekali waktunya, Sui!
Sui: Biarkanlah aku bersenang-senang juga! Insert Text: Dan tiba-tiba... yang muncul adalah ... seorang teman?!
Bottom: Chapter 3 / Selesai Berikutnya: Sui yang baru datang segera mengacau! Hubungannya yang mengejutkan dengan Kiri juga terungkap!! __________________________________________________________________
Special thanks to Shrimpy!! Have fun scanlating!https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2309[English] [Translation] Double Arts 3 by shrimpy2008-04-05T20:33:22+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comTime for some more kingdom hear--I mean, double arts action! Kiri's got a keyblade! Don't say I didn't call it!
EDIT: Although done, do proof. Kinda speed-transed at the end because it was getting so late.
01 bold top left: Here comes the 3rd shot of the latest hot topic! An enormous 25 pages! / "Double Arts"
-CLANG -Tomorrow morning, -This convict will be sent North, to Leimbach -Make sure you're prepared
-Still, -Is he really one of those widely renown assassins, the Gazelle? -I heard that just two kids took this guy down around noon... no bubble: Someone is closing in on the arrested assassin...
-When I thought about it, I figured Kiri must have been one of them -After all, I can definitely see him pulling it off
-That kid's got a lot of brains, -and that's not all... -Ooh...? -You mean some boy named "Kiri" -Caught this man? -Wh-who's there!?
02 -Vig -I'm quite surprised you got captured -ngh...! -Must have let down your guard, since they were just kids...eh, partner?
-shut it! -Save yer jabberin' and get me outta here, Lenke! -Not so fast...
-The second you get out of there, you're going after the boy, right? -You'd ruin all my fun. Don't worry, I'll have plenty of time to release you later -That boy's piqued my interest now, you see
-Allow me to take care of -The boy and girl you failed to kill
bottom: The story until now... The very moment a traveling Sister, Elle, was struck by a deadly seizure, she was saved by Kiri. As long as she holds his hand, her illness is halted for some unknown reason. In order to solve the mysteries surrounding this boy, the two plan on traveling to the Sisters' Main Cathedral...
03 bold: It's been one night since their fated meeting... Chapter 3 - "Sui" lower right is author, Komi Naoshi
-WHERE AM I!?
04 -Ah -That's right, I'm in Kiri's home -They let me stay here (which kind of surprised me)
-Still, I can't believe his hobby -It looks like a studio, and that of a pro's too! -He must be aiming to become a great artist...
sign: Title: / The great spirit of poop (t/n - ROFLAMO) -...but he's clearly still just a kid...
-...come to think of it, this is the first time i've ever slept in the same room with a guy -Even though he put up a curtain divider, it's still pretty nerve wrecking...
-But still, having to do this kinda stuff every day until we reach HQ...? -Where even one slip-up means death...
-Oh, stop it! Thinking about it just makes me nervous! -there's no point in concentrating on it, Elle! This is my mission... -Pachi
05 -Ah -There's someone in front of the store...
-Hm? -wah!
no bubble: eh...um...
06 -What was that about?
-Was that Kiri's friend? She was really pretty... -Girlfriend, maybe?? -Oh no! If that's the case, then I've done something terrible...!
-Maybe I shouldn't have shown my face! -Hey? Are you awake already? -Is it okay to open the curtain? -go ahead!
-uwah!
-G-good morning -...good morning -um....
07 -What's with your hair? -eh? -AAAAH!
-Uwah!! I have a bed head again! -bed head? -I-I have a hard time sleeping in place! -Can you hand me a mirror, please? -Sure...
-Does this mean that sticky up thing (same bubble, other side): Was just 'cuz she slept on it that way? tiny: I thought it was intentional...
-By the way, Kiri-san
-Someone was in front of the store a little while ago -What were they like? -Um...a very pretty girl -She had long dark hair, almost touching the ground -Ah...
08 -That's gotta be Sui -A friend of yours?
-Friend? More like childhood friend -Things are a bit different now -But she's a good girl -Hmm...
-Maybe she needed something? no bubble: well she already left... -eh?
-Probably, she... -I'm all set! -Huh?
-Where did you get that bruise?? no bubble: You didn't have that yesterday!
-No, this is... -Oh! You're both awake!
-Mornin'! How'd you sleep? -G-good morning, Mrs. Luchile! -Breakfast is ready, so come help yourselves! -Oh, and Elle-chan...
09 -Ooh, what's with the bruise? -You tried something, didn't you, Kiri! -I DID NOT!
-What were you saying? -Oh yes, there was a call for you -There's a phone in town hall so make sure to call them back after you eat -Um...who was it from?
-The Order of Sisters
-SISTER ELRAINE!! -WHAT WERE YOU DOING THAT YOU COULDN'T CALL ME BACK!
-The call cut off last time! Do you have any idea how worried I was?! -I forgot to report in...
10 -My apologies, Sister Martha -It's just that, so much happened all at once... -...sheesh...
-So? Are you two all right? -Yes, we're fine -How about Kiri-kun? -Yes -Let me hear all that's happened -then we'll go from there
-I see....
-Sounds like bad luck -being attacked by them, so soon... -Well, I'm glad you survived
-It's highly unlikely you'd continually be running into them, -but nevertheless, you need to be on guard at all times -right
-Sister Martha -Yes? -So what exactly should we do at this point in time?
-Right, about that... -I want you to stay in Turm for just a couple more days -W-why!?
11 -Right after yesterday's conversation, we held an emergency meeting -as a result, it was decided that we dispatch team "Falzen" to your location (t/n ファルゼン, still not sure if this is the best romanization.)
-Are you serious?! -HEY! -hold on there!
-I don't get this! no bubble: no need to get all excited -What is this Falzen? -Oh, sorry!
-Falzen is basically a group of soldiers -that are under direct supervision of us Sisters
-Among the Sisters there are two major divisions -There's the general group who, like me, are specialists that treat Troi. We're called "Maille Sisters." (t/n - Okay. the word, メイル, is questionable. but--I think this may refer to the medieval chainmail of old. maille is actually the real spelling for this, and given the context of this comic, i'm aiming for that impact. As you might guess, it served the purpose of defending against any conventional medieval weapon, preventing penetration. However, it did not prevent the wearer from broken bones or other similar injuries that impacts would cause. Likewise, I take it that Sisters like Elle protect the ailing, but are unable to cure them, or prevent all injury, much like chainmail.) -The other kind is called...
12 -a "Militaire Sister" (t/n - same as military/militia, is it just me or are a lot of these names and such French in origin?) -They serve both as bodyguards to us and can also take on the Gazelle -In short, a Sister who specializes in fighting
-Out of all of the Militaire forces that exist, -The one proud to be called the strongest is the "Falzen" Squad
-This squad's combined power -Is on par with even that of one battalion of royal knights!
-Woah...sounds like a pretty reliable bunch -Well, of course!
-So, Sister Martha...basically you want us -To wait here and meet up with the Falzen? -Then together, we'll head for the Cathedral? -That's correct
-However, it will take them at least a week to reach you, even on horseback -Once you join up, your safety in getting here is guaranteed
13 -Somehow it seems like in one fell swoop, things are looking up! -I think it'll all work out! -Yeah! -Yesterday's incident made me feel anxious, but -With Falzen's assistance, we have absolutely nothing to worry about!
-Oh about the squad... -There's an interesting kid who joined the ranks... -Who?
-Andie Frau (t/n - アンディ・フラウ, unsure if this is a correct name - other thoughts?) -Is also heading there, as a member of the Militaire -Andie is!?
-Your friend? -No...
-A really good friend! -An important one I made shortly after I entered the Order...
-hmmm...really? -So, you might get to see Andie -Yeah!
14 no bubble: tahaha... -Still, this is quite a lot to swallow -I mean, sending an entire army just to come get me?
-u-uh no, that's...! -Among all records we have of Troi, -Not one person ever showed immunity to the disease -Have you forgotten?
-You may very well be the savior -of not only us, but the entire world
-Whether or not you really hold the key, I can't say for sure -But realize that you represent hope -No one else can replace you
-Don't forget even for a second -The importance of your role
15 -A savior?
-Heh, yesterday I was just "John Q Public"... -I guess you can never guess what life has in store... -Well, let's hope there's no more crazy stuff like yesterday!
-Is this mission -too much for you?
-Nah, I'm fine -It's not like I'm gonna run
-I already gave my word -no matter what it takes, we'll get to the cathedral
-Wait! They're not gonna keep experimenting on me for the rest of my life once we get there, right?? -That's why they're being so nice! -Hmm...who knows...?
-Not funny!! -ahaha
16 -Um, excuse me?
-Yes?
-Could you help me find my way? -Is it straight from here to the plaza?
top: Is that white building a good landmark to go by? -Yeah, pretty much -Right after that, you're there
-No not that one, I meant the smaller one in the middle -Huh? Which is that?
-Can't you tell? Look, it's right there... -Ummmm~you mean that one?
17 -Ngh!
-ow!! -yeow...
-Not bad -I thought your guard was down -I'm quite impressed
-Don't tell me you're...!
18 -You guessed right -Thanks for taking good care of my partner yesterday -it would be rude of me not to show my gratitude
-A Gazelle assassin!
-You two children must be something else, to have taken him down... -I heard it all -But, he tends to loose control when he's enjoying his hunts... -I think you and me will get along much better
-I can't believe it...I had no idea -I wasn't expecting to run into any more assassins... -How could he have had a partner?!
-Hmm...what next... -Head on, we can't take this guy -Guess there's no choice but to run
19 -Hm? -That's right, he told me -something strange
-Even though you're a sister, -Why do you continue to hold his hand?
-...this is bad!
-Are you treating him? -No, that's hard to imagine -The treatment doesn't take long, nor can I envision him being your guard -It seems you two ran away hand-in-hand yesterday -Why go through such trouble in the first place?
-...this is really bad!! -If Gazelle gets a handle on Kiri's ability, then... -Forget maybe, it's a certainty---they'll all be specifically coming after us!
-We have to keep him from figuring it out!
20 -Hey -Let's get out of here
-It's just like yesterday -We can't take him down without a plan, so let's run first -Once we regroup, we can do it -Okay!
-Let's go!!
-Uwah!!
-Wha..!
-How naive!
-You really think you can just run from each one of us? -I'm nothing like yesterday
21 -If you're at least willing to run, then do try to fight back -It's far more enjoyable that way!
-Damn! -What the heck is with you people!?
-Hey, listen -Don't let go no matter what
-I don't know if it'll work, but... -With this many materials, I might be able to do it!
-d-do what?!
22 KEYBLADE TIME! -HUUUUUH!? -What is that!?
-He used my knives...
-To create a weapon!? -GRAAAAAAAHH!!
-What is this kid?! -Kuh!
-What are you... -really?!
23 -DAH!!
-....huh?
-....oops?
-Heh! That was quite a bluff, there! -Kiri-san!!
-Ngh...!! -Well, now Sister...I'll start with you -Hope you're saying your prayers!
-WAI-- -STOP IT!!
24 -fgh!!
-GNH!!
-umimimimi (t/n - ?????)
-Hey there, Kiri -Looks like you're having a blast over here
25 -at times like these -couldn't you at least come invite me first?
-Keh!! -Who're you!?
-Nice timing, -Sui!
-Let me in on the fun!
bold: And suddenly, what appears is a...reliable(?) ally!?

Di saat itu, ia diselamatkan oleh seorang pemuda bernama Kiri. Mengapa ketika mereka berpegangan tangan, serangannya berhenti?

Page 02 Narrator: (Setelah bertemu, Kiri dan El mengalami suka dan duka...Ataukan ini baru puncak gunung es?!) El: Kalau aku melepaskan tangan ini, aku akan mati.
El: Kenyataan ini menghantamku begitu keras hari ini. Aku harus terus menggenggam tangannya jika aku ingin tetap hidup.
Page 03 El: Um... Aku ingin berterima kasih karena telah memberiku keberanian!
El: Sebenarnya, pada awalnya kupikir tidak mungkin bagiku untuk melakukan perjalanan ini dengan selamat. Tapi sekarang, kalau bersama dirimu, Kiri, pasti tidak akan ada masalah!
El: Benar-benar menyenangkan bisa berkenal- Kiri: Ya, memang amat menyenangkan, tapi apa kau lupa kalau kau tidak bisa melepaskan tanganku? Jadi, tidak peduli apa kau sedang tidur, di toiler, ataupun mandi, kau tidak bisa meninggalkanku meski sedetik pun. Menurutku, ini pasti akan jadi masalah.
Kiri: Tapi tenang saja, pasti ada jalan koq!
El: (AKU BENAR-BENAR LUPA...!!)
Page 04 Kiri: ... Sudahlah! Pasti nanti juga beres, kan?
Kiri: Bukankah katamu kau sudah siap menghadapi apapun? El: Hal itu tidak ada hubungannya! Apa kau tidak mengerti perasaan seorang perempuan?!
El: Benar juga, ada sesuatu yang ingin kutanyakan, Kiri.
El: Apa kau pernah... belajar bela diri? Kiri: Hah? Kenapa? El: Tapi...!! Dari gerakanmu ketika mengalahkan pembunuh itu, aku tahu kalau kau pasti bukan orang sembarangan! Maksudku, kau pasti pernah...?
Page 05 Kiri: ... Aku hanya anak-anak biasa saja. Kita bisa mengalahkannya karena kemampuanmu!
El: (...Tidak mungkin...?! Memang benar, waktu itu aku merasa bahwa tubuhku penuh energi... Ya, seakan-akan tubuhku jadi ringan... Tapi, tetap saja aneh...)
Kiri: Baiklah, ayo kita pergi ke rumahku. Aku harus memperkenalkanmu karena kau akan tinggal sementara. El: Hah!? Ke-kenapa!?
El: Aku tidak boleh merepotkanmu lebih jauh!! Kiri: Apa maksudmu? Begini, mulai sekarang kita akan selalu bersama terus, bukan? Jadi maksudku, kita hanya bisa tidur di rumahku atau di penginapan, dan penginapan 'kan memerlukan uang... Yang mana pun, kita harus menjelaskan keadaannya pada mereka, bukan? El: Oh... Benar juga...
Kiri: Tenang saja! Keluargaku pasti dengan senang hati akan menyambutmu!
Page 06 Kiri: Heeei! Ibu? Bu, aku sudah pulang! Kiri's Mom: Oh! Selamat datang!
El: ... "Luchile's D.M.?"
Page 07 Kiri: Yup, keluargaku menjalankan bisnis di rumah ini. El: Wow! Kiri's Mom: Hmm? Siapakah gadis cantik ini?
Kiri's Mom: Oooh! Ada apa ini? Saling berpegangan tangan, apa ia pacarmu??
Kiri's Mom: Senang bertemu denganmu! El: Ah! Begitu juga denganku! Apa kau adiknya?
Kiri: Dia ibuku. El:...Eh?
El: APA?! Kiri's Mom: Ahahahahaha!
El: Ah?! Kecil sekali!! Eh, maksudku- Ma-maafkan aku!! Kiri's Mom: Ahaha! Gadis yang baik sekali!
Kiri: Ayo kedalam! Ayah? Kau di rumah?
Page 08 Kiri's Dad: Oi, selamat datang!
El: (BESARNYA!!)
El: Em... jadi... itu ibumu, dan ini ayahmu...? Kiri: Yap! El: Apa dia manusia? Kiri: Banyak yang bertanya begitu. Tapi dia memang manusia.
Kiri: Dia memang pendiam, tapi sebenarnya dia orang yang baik koq! El: (... Eeeeh! Tidak dapat dipercaya!)
Page 09 Kiri's Dad: Senang bertemu denganmu. Aku ayahnya. El: (Oh... Dia memang baik...)
Kiri's Parent: ...
El: ... Jadi itulah kenapa... aku ingin meminjam Kiri untuk sementara!
Kiri's Parent: ...
El: Aku mengerti perasaan kalian Datang begitu saja, dan meminta hal semacam itu... Aku benar-benar minta maaf
Page 10 Kiri's Mom: Tidak juga... Ini bukan masalah yang sebesar itu koq... Lagipula, dia sudah memutuskan untuk membantu, bukan?
Kiri's Mom: Bagaimana menurutmu? Kiri's Dad: Tidak masalah. El: Be-benarkah!?
El: Syukurlah! Dan jangan khawatir! Perkumpulan kamilah yang akan membayar semua biayanya! Kami bahkan akan membayar kalian atas bantuannya! Kiri's Mom: Woa! El: Keselamatan Kiri adalah yang utama, jadi kami akan menjaganya dengan amat baik!
Kiri's Mom: Kalau begitu, apa yang akan kalian lakukan setelah ini? (Yang sebenarnya, maksudku.) El: Oh soal itu...
El: Yah, untuk kembali ke markas, ada banyak hal yang harus dipersiapkan. Jadi kurasa kami akan tinggal di kota dulu untuk sementara.
Kiri's Mom: ... Kalau begitu... artinya... Kau akan tinggal disini?
Kiri: Tentu saja! Memang mau bagaimana lagi? El: Kiri!! Kiri's Mom: !!
El: ...Maafkan ku! Rupanya memang sulit, yah...
Page 11 Kiri's Mom: Horeeee!! (Ahahahaha) El: ?!
Kiri's Mom: Kau dengar itu, sayang? Gadis manis ini akan tinggal bersama kita! Apa yang harus kita lakukan? Apa kita punya ruang tambahan, yah? Kiri: Hei, hei! Kami kan harus tetap bersama... Kiri's Mom: Benar! Oh, kyaaa! Kita harus makan-makan malam ini! El: ?! ?!
El: Eh- Um...!!
Kiri: Apa kubilang? Mereka pasti akan menyambutmu!
El: ...
Page 12 Kiri's Mom: Jangan malu-malu! Apa yang kalian lakukan, diam saja disana? El: Kyaa! (Awas!!) Kiri's Mom: Ini hari yang penting! Dan kalian ini masih kotor. Aku akan menyiapkan makan malam, jadi mandilah terlebih dahulu! El: Ma-ma-mandi!!!
Kiri's Mom: Kiri... Kau ini kan laki-laki, jadi beranikanlah dirimu untuk mengintip! El: A-a-a apa maksudnya!?!!
Kiri: Beres bos! El: MAU KUGAMPAR!?
El: Ah! ah! I-i-left my clothes at the inn...! I'll skip the bath after all-- Kiri's Mom: What are you talking about? We SELL clothes! We'll get you something just right for you! Go, go!!
El: Tiba-tiba saja... kita sampai pada hambatan pertama kita... Kiri: Yep.
Page 13 Kiri: ... Hmm.... El: Jadi ini dia Kamar Mandi yang menakutkan itu. Kiri: Tidak pernah terlihat begini menakutkan sebelumnya! Jadi... siapa yang mandi terlebih dahulu...?
Kiri: Ah, kenapa tidak kau saja? El: !!
El: ... Ku-kumohon... Jangan mengintip... Kiri: Tidak akan. El: (Tadi hanya bercanda.)
El: Ah! Bagaimana aku harus melepas bajuku? Karena aku tidak bisa melepaskan tanganmu, jadi...
El: (Kalau aku melepas bajuku sementara kita masih saling berpegangan akan jadi seperti ini...) Kiri: (Hei! Aku tidak ingin memakai baju kotormu!) Duh! Tenanglah dan pikirkan baik-baik!
Kiri: ...
Page 14 El: Jangan berani-berani melirik ke sini! Kiri: Tidak akan.
Patch: Dalam masa penyembuhan
El: Jangan berani-berani membuka tirainya! Kiri: Tidak akan. (Lagi-lagi...)
El: ...
El: Kiri Kiri: Ya? El: Apa benar-benar tidak apa-apa?
Page 15 El: Aku... Ketika orang tuamu menyambutku aku amat senang.
El: Tapi aku adalah seorang Sister. Aku terinfeksi dengan Troi. Hanya dengan satu sentuhan, orang lain pun akan ikut sakit. Aku adalah bahaya dan beban bagi orang-orang!
Kiri: Soal penyakitmu tidaklah penting. Orang tuaku benar-benar senang atas kedatanganmu.
Kiri: Jadi berhentilah mengkhawatirkannya. El: ...
Troy Victim 2: (Apa maksudmu kalau Sister tidak bisa menyembuhkan Troi?!)
Troy Victim 3: (Ini pasti tipuan! Maksudmu aku tidak bisa memeluk anakku lagi?!) El: (...Maafkan aku.)
Random Girl: (Hanya dengan berdekatan kita bisa tertular Troi! Ayo pergi!) El: (Tunggu, itu tidak benar! Kau hanya akan tertular bila kau bersentuhan fisik dengan seseorang!)
Random Traveller: (HEI! AWAS!) El: (...Maafkan aku.) Random Traveller: (Apa yang akan kau lakukan bila aku juga tertular Troi? Hah?! Eh? JANGAN BERPURA-PURA TIDAK TAHU APA-APA!
Page 17 Kiri's Mom: Oh! Mereka akhirnya selesai! Nah, makan malamnya sudah siap! Ayo makan.
Kiri: Berhentilah bicara yang aneh-aneh! Tanganmu adalah senjata?
Page 22-23 Kiri: Itu benar-benar tidak masuk akal! El: (Apa kau masih ingat? Apa yang kau katakan padaku hari itu...) Kiri: Bagaimanapun juga, inilah tangan
Kiri: yang telah menyalamatkan puluhan... bukan, ratusan orang, kan?
Kiri: Jadi tenang saja! Akulah satu-satunya orang yang bisa kau sentuh tanpa akan menghancurkan hidupku!
Kiri: Benar, kan?
Kiri: Baiklah! Ayo kita makan! ?!
El: (Apa kau sadar betapa jauh...) Kiri: ? Hei?
Page 24 El: (kata-kata tersebut telah menyelamatkanku?) Kiri: Ayo makan!!
El: (Seumur hidupku, aku belu pernah memakan makanan seenak ini.)
Page 25 El: (Dan juga... AKu beranggapan, kalau hari dimana aku bertemu keluargamu, bahkan sampai sekarang,)
Kiri: Nah! Ayo tidur!
El: (adalah kehormatan terbesar sepanjang hidupku.) Kiri: Sebaiknya kita istirahat, karena kita akan segera sibuk.
Kiri: Bagaimanapun juga, aku sudah berjanji akan mengantarkanmu kembali ke Katedral. Kau dan aku, kita pasti berhasil!
El: ... Benar!
El: Selamat tidur! Insert Text: Sedikit demi sedikit, hubungan mereka bertambah erat...

Special thanks to Shrimpy!! Have fun scanlating!https://mangahelpers.com/t/shrimpy/releases/2307[English] [Translation] Double Arts 2 by shrimpy2008-03-29T19:38:42+00:00shrimpyadmin@mangahelpers.comTime to join everyone's favorite keyblade master, Roxa--i mean Kiri!! one thing i'd like to clarify, it's kind of many scanlators to use my translation notes but really there's no need to use every one! I often write lines explaining puns, special terms, or parts i'm unsure of. Often, though, i just write notes to help explain the thought process behind why i phrased something the way i did. These notes i think only apply to people comparing or checking my translation, and when used in a scanlation, don't really make a whole lot of sense. So, use some discretion in what notes to put--i don't require you paste them all!
one more translation point: last chapter, i used "ruchile", but turns out sure enough it was luchile by the sign on page 6. Ops! Also, It only showed up on the last page of ch1 but I'm abandoning the abbreviation for Elraine's name "El" in favor of "Elle".
...If you scanlated ch1 oh well, but if you are still thinking of doing so, make sure to change the spelling. ...I can't help but wonder if Troi's true spelling will show up later too.
01 blue: Does the hand she's grasping hold not only her life but the fate of the world? Presenting the 2nd shot--an enormous 25 pages!
white: The two have no choice but to stay together... author lower right: komi naoshi
Chapter 2 - Meet the Luchiles
left verticals: About the story... The world is afflicted by a terrible disease called "Troi"...Sister Elraine, during a journey to treat Troi patients, falls into a siezure from the same thing herself. At that very moment, she is saved by a young boy named Kiri. Why is it that when she holds his hand, her seizures stop? In order to solve his mysteries and possibly save the world, the two of them decide to travel to the main cathedral of Elle's Order.
02 -Upon meeting one another, Kiri and Elle encountered many ups and downs...might this be only the tip of the iceberg!? box: If I let go of this hand, I will die
-This truth was made apparent to me on this day -I had to continually hold his hand if I wanted to live
-Phew... -Guess this is "case closed", huh? -Yep -Sure looks that way
03 -Um... -I wanted to thank you for giving me courage!
-To be honest, in the beginning I though it was impossible -for me to make this journey alive -But now, I think with you around, Kiri-san, things will work out!
-It's truly a pleasure to make your aquainta-- -That's great and all, -But have you forgotten you can't let go of my hand? -So whether you're sleeping, using the toilet, taking a bath, you can't leave me for even a second -If you ask me, this is going to be a mess
-Well, we'll work out!
-I TOTALLY FORGOT...!!
04 -Cheer up! We'll find a way, right?
-Didn't you say you were feeling up to the challenge now? -That had nothing to do with this! -Don't you understand a girl's feelings?!
-Oh, yes -there was something I wanted to ask, Kiri-san
-Have you ever...taken any kind of special martial arts? -Huh? why? -But...!! -When we defeated that assassin, I was sure your movements were not that of an average person! -I mean, you must have...?
05 -...I'm just your everyday common kid -We only beat him because of your ability!
-...no way....?!? -Well it's true that at that time I felt like I was full of energy...Yeah, like my body had gotten lighter...but still, it bothers me...
-Anyways, let's go over to my place -I'm gonna have to introduce you since you'll be around for a while -HUH!? -W-why's that!?
-I couldn't impose on you any further--!! -What are you saying? Look, from here on we're together at all times right? -So when we gotta sleep, I mean, it's only my place or an inn, and an inn costs money... -Either way, we'll have to explain the situation at least once, y'know? -Oh...you're right...
-"Luchile's D.M."? (T/N - i think d.m. stands for dress-maker, although that's not the formal english term. I was thinking more "custom dresswear")
07 -Yeah, my parents run a business at home -Oh, wow -Hm? Who's this young lady?
-Oooh! what's this? -Holding hands, is she your girlfriend??
-It's a pleasure to meet you! -Ah! Same here! -Are you his little sister?
-That's my MOM -..........what?
-HUH!? -ahahahahaha
-EH!? YOUNG!!! ER, I--- -MY APOLOGIES!! -ahaha! Aren't you such a nice girl?
-C'mon, let's go inside -Dad? You home?
08 -Yo, welcome back
-HE'S HUGE!!
-Um...so...that was your mom, and this is your dad...? -Yep -Is he human? -We get that a lot. Without a doubt, he is.
-He doesn't say a whole lot but he's a really nice guy so don't worry -...eeeeh! -I can't believe this!
09 -Nice to meet you. I'm his good 'ol man. -Oh... -he is nice...
-So that's why... -I need to borrow Kiri-san for a while!
-I know how this must make you feel -Just barging in all of a sudden, making demands...I'm truly very sorry
10 -No...it's not that big a deal... -I mean, he's decided to help, after all
-What do you think? -It's fine -R-really!?
-Thank goodness! And not to worry--our order will cover all expenses incurred! -We'll even pay you a reward for your cooperation! -Woah! -Kiri-san's saftey is our main concern, so we will do our best to keep him safe!
-So then, what will you two do from now? no bubble: Like, exactly? -Oh -that's right...
-Well, in order to make our way back to HQ, it's going to take a lot of preparation -I guess we'll be in town for a little while
-...so then...that means... -you'll be staying at our home?
-Of course it does! What else did you think? -Kiri-san!!
-...excuse me! -It is, after all, asking too much...
11 -YAAAAY!! ahahahaha
-Did you hear that, dear? This adorable little girl is staying with us! -What are we going to do? Do we even have a spare room? -Um, hello? We have to stick together...? -Oh, yeah! Oh and--kyaaa! We're going to have a feast tonight! -Eh-- -Um...!!
-Didn't I say it? -They're sure to welcome you!
12 (clockwise, starting with 11:30 bubble) -Watch out!! -Eek! -Don't be shy! Why are you two doing, standing there? -Today was a major ordeal! You're all dirty -I'll start on dinner so go take a bath! -B-b-bath!!!
-Kiri... -You're a man, after all -Make sure to summon the courage to sneak a peak! -W-W-W- -WHAT WAS THAT!?!!
-Aye, aye Cap'n! -WANT ME TO SMASH YOUR FACE!?
-Ah! ah! I-i-left my clothes at the inn...! -I'll skip the bath after all-- -What are you talking about? We SELL clothes! -We'll get you something just right for you! -Go, go!!
-All of a sudden...we've reached our first hurdle... -Yep.
13 -Hmm.... -This is the "formidable" bathroom -Never before has it looked as such a formidable foe as it does now! -Sooo...we gotta decide who goes first...
-Well, why don't YOU go first?
-...p-please don't peek... -I won't no bubble: We were just kiddin' back there!
-Ah! -How exactly am I supposed to take off my clothes? -If I can't let go of your hand, then...
-If I take of my shirt with our hands together, (arrow) it'll go like this... no bubble: What the heck!! I don't want to wear your dirty clothes! -Geez! Calm down and think this through!
14 -Don't you dare glance this way! sfx: pasha -I won't
-sticky on her back is "still healing"
-Don't you dare open the shower curtain! -I won't no bubble left: I wish she would stop!
-Kiri-san -Hm? -Is this really going to be okay?
15 -I...well, the fact your parents welcomed me -made me very happy
-But I am a Sister -I'm infected with Troi -With just one touch someone else get the disease -I'm a danger, and a burden to them!
-Your illness doesn't matter -My folks -Are really glad you came
-So stop worrying
-Is that right...?
-All done! -The treatment is complete! -oooh!! Really?? -Thank you ever so much!
-What was that!? -You're infected with Troi!?
16 -I see... -If you're all finished here -Then please leave
-I understand...
-Whaddya mean -Sister's can't cure Troi!?
-This is some kind of scam! -You mean I can never embrace my daughter again!? -...my apologies
-All it takes is getting close to someone with Troi to get it! -Run away! -No wait, that's wrong! -You only get the disease if you touch someone directly!
-HEY! WATCH IT! -...my apologies -What would you do if I caught Troi too? HUH?! -eh? -DON'T ACT INNOCENT WITH ME!
-Any old how, have a seat! -Okay, let's sit over here -...i'm sorry
-May I have a moment? -I need to tell you two something important
18 -I...can't stay here -after all -EEEH!?
-Why's that? -Did we upset you somehow? -N-no! That's not it!
-The way you welcomed me -Was very touching. -I almost fell to tears
-But.... -It's just that I can't be near you
-You may not know this, but -Us Sisters are all infected with Troi -Just one touch is all it takes to catch it yourself!
-What if, just accidentally, we touched? -Like, both of us reaching for sauce, or something like that?
-So... -please accept my apologies
-That's not a problem! We'll be careful! Right? -NO!
19 -My body-- -Is the same as a weapon! -Just one touch -Will send a person's life into the depths of despair!
-I--! -I don't ever want to live with the thought that I'm responsible for that!
-If it ever were to happen, I... -I would not be able to bear it!
-Even moreso -With people -as kind as you
20 -Hey
-Hm?
-WHAAAAT!!!
21 -wha--!! -See? Touching you with oven mits -doesn't pose a problem!
-I already knew -that sisters were infected! -This may be the countryside, -But there's few who don't know that fact!
-You okay??
-What a relief! -I was worried a sec there that you were against our little party! (small - that was close!) -Mama's sense is always right!
-You knew... no bubble: Thanks, papa! -and yet you welcomed me

22-23 bubble: That's just weird! boxes: Do you -still remember? -What you said to me that day... -After all, this is the hand
-That saved tens... -no, hundreds, of people right?

Chapter 1 - "Soul Mate" / author: Komi Naoshi
very tiny white lower left: What will happen to the two of them?! The story continues on page 15!
04 -Meet "Turm" -A small town located in the southwest of the empire
-It's where everything started -And where I ran into you
box: This story is the tale of one young boy... -Hey, silly! I can't see anything! -Is that the rumored...? -Eh? you mean that little girl is a Sister? -Now, now...show some respect!
05 -Um... -We're ready -Okay!
-I'll begin treatment! box more right: My name is Elraine box: I am a traveling Sister (t/n - this comic uses for sister the word 巡回僧 = junkaizou, or traveling monk/priest)
-The job of a Sister -was established in order to treat the fatal, menacing illness -threatening the world...also commonly referred to as "Troi" (t/n - sure it's not "Treu"?)
-It's a special kind of work
06 -And the only ones right now who can effectively treat this disease -are Sisters
-All done! -Wha?!
-A-ah... -already? -yes! -It's that fast? -Yes, that's all there is to it!
-Is daddy all better?? -Yep, for the moment
-That was surprising! -I mean, I've never witnessed a Sister's treatment before -I was expecting something far more elaborate...
-Daddy!
07 -DON'T TOUCH HIM!!
-...but didn't you -make daddy all better? -...well, yes...but... -We're only able to help people like your daddy for a short period of time -Right now, we don't have a permanent cure
-Do you know... -how this disease is spread? -...yeah...
08 -Troi is spread by touch -If you touch someone on their clothes, that's not a problem, however -If you were to directly touch them, skin to skin, then you get it too
-So that's why-- -Huh? -But you just touched daddy!
-You took off your gloves and touched daddy, didn't you? -Are you gonna be okay??
-Well yes, that's how we treat people
-Once infected with Troi, -The disease begins to make the body produce lots of poison -And once enough of it has accumulated, -That person's body goes into a seizure, and they die -When someone falls into a seizure, there's unfortunately no way to save them
09 -Very rarely, -There are girls who show high resistance to the disease -Those very scarce people -Comprise us Sisters
-So when we touch the body of a patient with Troi, -we are able to absorb the poison out of their body and take it into ours
-By so doing, -we are able to prolong the lives of people for a while
-So basically, every one of us Sisters are infected with Troi already -Even though our work is widely boasted about, it's really just a coincidence we can help (t/n - i took a liberty on this line, seeing how she was trying to downplay herself. the only thing the original line says is "although our work is boasted about...", an incomplete thought)
-...So that's why it's a good idea -To avoid coming near someone us at all costs
-But...will you be alright? -Taking other people's poison into you...that's just...
-I don't know exactly where my body stands right now, but
10 -Most likely I -Won't even live to be 20.
-That's right
-That was our mission
11 -However...
-We had hope
-All of us Sisters were searching -For a person who was unaffected by this disease
-Not just someone with a strong constitution like us, -But rather someone whose body was completely invulnerable to the disease!
box: Just perhaps other box: If we were able to find such a person... bubble right: This place seems decorated head to toe bubble left: Wonder if there's a festival or something?
12 -We'd be able to defeat this accursed disease!
-Wow, that's a huge picture /small: it's unfinished? box: Reason being, if we researched that person's body, -It's about time for the bells to ring -Guess that wraps it up for today? box: we're sure to find some key to conquering Troi
-To be frank, -I never believed in that story, nor that this day would ever come
13 -top left: cough cough cough -Huh---!?
-This is... -A seizure! -No! It's far too soon...!!
-N-no... -somebody...!!
14 -ah!! (very small bubble)
-The only thing I could do at that time -Was curse my own destiny
-There was so much I wanted to do -So many things -I needed to accomplish
-But right then, -My destiny was turned around
(spiky) - HEEEY!!
15 -in the moment that you -touched me
-uwa--!!
-Hey!! -Are you okay!?
-Hey, hey! Oh, come on, don't die on me! -Right? Can you hear me? C'mon, wake up!
16 -Helloooooo?? -Wakey-wakey!! -Ngh...
-Oh!
-Thank goodness! You snapped out of it! -How do you feel?
-EEEEEEEEEEEEEKK!! -uwa!!
-y-y-you touched m-m-m-me!!! -You got it! Oh no! I mean, no! That! What! -Are you okay? How do you feel!? -Urm...that's MY line...
-Huh? -My seizure? Why did it stop?
17 -Wha--!?
-Not again!? -And it just stopped, too! -Why...!
-Why again? -Hey!
-Once stricken with a Troi seizure, death is inescapable -But I survived one, and now am having a second?! What is going on? -Well...it doesn't matter now...
-I'm going to... -HEY!
-What is wrong with you!?
-huh?
18 -The seizure stopped?!?
-No way...why? -It was incredibly painful, but now I don't feel a thing
-I've never heard of a seizure stopping mid-way... -Hold on...more importantly than that...
-This person... -isn't infected with Troi!?
-He couldn't have mistaken me, I'm clearly a Sister -And yet he touched me directly?? -But he's not infected!
-It can't be---!! -Ah! I-I'm so sorry!! -Ah? What?!
19 -This person is--!! -If it's all right with you -Could you please come with me?
-I think you just might be the one -That we Sisters have been searching for--for hundreds of years!
-Come again!?
sfx bubble: Gasha
20 -Hou.... -So a Sister was in a place like this!
-Kukuku...well aren't I lucky -This makes
-My third prey this month!
-Code 4003 -My name is Sister Elraine -Please connect me to Martha Laguna, at the Main Church
-Code acknowledged -Please hold
21 -Thank you so much, Kiri-san! -It was a sudden request, and yet you've come all this way with me -Hm? Ah, I don't mind. Hearing your situation kinda made me want to help -This spiky-haired young boy...
-His name is Kiri -At least, in my eyes -he's like any other ordinary boy, besides the fact that he's immune to Troi
-or at least he was -Oh, really?
-I haven't gotten your name yet -It was...? -Eh -Pardon me!
-It's uh...
-Elraine -Please remember it, if you don't mind...
22 -Huh?? small, no bubble: if you don't mind!? -Sister Elraine? -It's Martha
-Ah! Sister Martha! It's me, Elraine! -I heard your report -And -Is what you said really true? -Yes!
-I have no doubt about it! -He has a body immune to Troi! -So... -Yes, -If that's true, we may be able to save lives across the world
-The world?? -Also, Elraine-- -Is it true you've gone into seizure? -...yes
-I don't think I have much longer...
-What's going on!?
-You must be Kiri-kun?
23 -To us Sisters, the Troi seizure is nothing more -than our "lifespan" itself
-Once the poison from Troi reaches a level beyond our bodies' capacity to handle, we go into convulsions -I'm very surprised you were able to stop hers -If you hadn't, she'd be long dead by now
-If you were to leave her, then likely she'll go right into seizure again
-Isn't there -anything you can do? -Ah! -Please don't worry about it!
-I've already been prepared for this day -I knew it was only a matter of time -And...
-Because of this situation, -I've been able to find you -As a Sister, there's no greater joy to be had than in that fact -So, please...
24 -Um, hate to interrupt but I've been thinking~
-You two are holding hands right now, correct?
-As long as you're holding Kiri's hand, your disease doesn't progress any further -Isn't that right, Elraine? -Y-yes...?
-Then it's simple
-Just keep holding hands forever
25 -For some completely untold reason, Kiri is able to stop your convulsions. -That must mean... -Oh...I get it! -Eh? get what?
-The reason you're not having convulsions is because I'm holding your hand! -And without convulsions, you also won't die of Troi
-You may be able to survive in this way
-I-is that true!? -The chances are high! -Good for you! -Y-yeah! small: hahahahaha -Right, so it's really easy!
-Whether it's bathing, sleeping, or using the toilet, -You'll be fine as long as you never let go of his hand! small: ahahaha
26 -Wha...??
-Great idea, isn't it? -Congratulations, Elraine! You get to live a long life! -WHAT!? -Eh...could you repeat that once more? -Y-you're kidding, right?
-Okay, look...you don't have a choice. If you don't do it, YOU WILL DIE -It's simple, Sister Elraine. From this moment forward,
-I don't care if it's bathing, sleeping, or using the toilet, -If for even one second you let go of his hand, you're done!
-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?!
27 -W-WAIT JUST A MINUTE! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! -ON THE TOILET?! IN BATHS!? -WE'RE A GIRL AND A GUY, YOU KNOW!! -AND WE JUST MET EACH OTHER TODAY!! -YO! THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR ME TOO! -JUST HOW LONG IS THIS FOR!? -DON'T YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS!?!
-haahahahahahahahaha! -STOP LAUGHING!
-Come on now, there's no need to shout -It's not like you have to chose between life or death anymore! -OF COURSE WE DO! IT'S EITHER DIE FROM DISEASE OR FROM EMBARRASSMENT! -This is a lose-lose situation!! (t/n - as you may be able to tell, i've completely revamped these last two lines. i have no clue what dead or die means. that's gotta be engrish. the point is they're complaining so, well, i made some valid complaints.)
-No more complaining! -Elraine, I'm about to give you a very important job -I hope you're ready for this -...ok
28 -From henceforth, you...no YOUR mission shall be -Your top priority -You are to get over to our headquarters, the Main Cathedral as swiftly as possible
-Kiri-kun -I'm sorry but this order has been already determined. You have no right to refuse -There are countless people out there who need what you just might have. There's no way to avoid this
-Even if you wanted to try and scan your body, -The required equipment capable of doing this can only be found here at our Main Cathedral's Troi Research Laboratory
-So at the very least, you will need to travel here the entire way with your hands together -You kiddin' me!? -The sooner you want your freedom, then the sooner you better get over here
-We'll do our best to provide backup for you two as well
29 -Let's save the world together -Good luck~!
-Hey! This is way outta proportions! -The world!? Wasn't that just a story?
-...no, it's true
-Did you know? -Ever since Troi was discovered over 700 years ago, the number of victims it has claimed -is over one billion
-One billion!?
-Centuries ago, when the Troi outbreak ran rampant in one country -Around 2/3rds of the population -Passed away from the disease
30 -The Order of us Sisters was established, -and by our efforts to spread the truth about Troi, the disease was largely halted -But there's still people out there suffering from it
-Kiri-san! You... -no, your very existence -Is hope, for us and the world!
-Wouldn't you please -cooperate with us?
-I...
-Oh, I forgot to tell you... -UWAAA!! -SHE'S STILL THERE!?
-Watch out for -the "Gazelles"
-Gazelle??
31 -That's right
-The Gazelle Assassins
32 -YEOUCH!
-wha--!!
-Hello??
-Wha- -who're you!? -Kiri-san! -Hurry, we've got to run! -NOW!!
-You're going nowhere!
33 -Argh! -Woah!
-D-don't tell me...
-One's already there?
-You okay!? -I'm fine! We've got to run! -Who the hell is this guy?? -Well I'm sure he's no friend of yours!
-Of all the times... -to come across one of them!!
-Ch! -Got away, huh?
34 -Lucky me!
-I think we'll be safe here for now -I'm so sorry for slowing you down -Nah, I could say the same
-Well before you answer my mountain of questions, -We've gotta treat that wound. Turn around, would ya? -O-okay... -You're unbelievably calm...
-It isn't anything serious, so you should be alright. /small: just gotta seal it off for now -Thank you very much! bandage: "still healing"
35 -But man, what's up with that assassin?? -...what did he just write on me!?
-Doesn't it look just like him?? -Uh, I think it's based too much off your imagination... -but--you're good!!
-So -Why is he after you? -Who're these "Gazelle Assassins"?
-...we need to figure out -what these guys are thinking -Do you have any ideas? -Tell me already!
-Gazelle is just the name of their organization -To be honest, besides the fact they're after us, -We don't know anything else about them
-I don't know exactly how many Sisters they've killed -But what's even more unclear is why they care to take our lives (lower bubbles, starting right) -Nor their numbers, or size of the organization... -the only thing that's clear is without exception, each one of them -is an expert fighter
36 -We Sisters are actually put through a self-defense training back at the Cathedral -So if ever the situation came that we come into contact with one, -we'd use the only plan we've been taught:
-Run
-Yes, run away at full speed
-That's the only advantage we have on them -But those guys are really persistent -They don't like giving up on their targets
-Then what're we gonna do? -Yeah...hmm... -I'm thinking about that...
-But... -I think I've got an answer
37 -I'll act as bait -what!?
-Quit being stupid! -What can you do by yourse-- -Just look at what happened!
-Even together, we couldn't do a thing
-Ngh!!! -Hey!! Not again! -DON'T TOUCH ME!
-...he's -only after me right now
38 -At best, this is just my speculation, but -I think the reason Gazelles are after us -Is because we can treat Troi -Only us Sisters have the facilities, too... -So...! -If you are the cure to this disease, what do you think they'll do?
-You'll become and even bigger target! -This could be your only chance to escape! -We should split up here-- -If we stick together, the chances of your survival are zero!
-W-what the heck!? -Your body...
-It's transparent!!!
39 -Wha....!?!
-Is this your first time seeing it? -Maybe you've heard of the more official name for Troi...
-"Vanishing Disease"
-Once Troi reaches its peak, the body goes into seizure -And then, that person gradually becomes transparent, like glass -In the end... -All that's left behind is the person's clothes
-I've watched tons of people vanish just like that -I've seen many people suffer from this accursed disease -That's why
-My dream -Is to wipe it off the planet
40 -Anyone?!
-There's not one soul alive here!
-How terrible... -We were too late...
-The entire town -has vanished due to Troi
-This is atrocious... -Only that child survived? -Sister! Sister Martha! Can you tell if she's infected?
-...Regrettably, she is -but... -It seems she might have resistance to it
41 -Let's take her back to headquarters -She may be able to become out newest member
-I always wished for this, since many years ago... -Even long before I ever became a Sister
-That's why you, Kiri-san -Have to live -Please, escape!
42 -Run away... -And please, make this world a place without Troi!
-I beg you...
-Siiiigh
-Huh?
43 -NO WAY!
-Wha!? -wha-wha!?! -You really expect me to just do as you say!? -Like I'm gonna listen to some selfish girl's complaints!
-Selfish!?!? -I'm worrying about your life here! -AND SACRIFICE YOURSELF IN THE PROCESS!? -YOUR LITTLE MOROSE ACT IS MAKING ME SICK! -YOU'RE REALLY PISSING ME OFF! /small: kyashaaaaa
-Kuh...!! -Besides, it doesn't sit well with me.
44 -YOU'RE the one who wanted -to see a world without Troi, right?
-You still have the option of surviving with me -And yet you throw away the chance, -making yourself a scapegoat -and act as if you're content with that?
-I DO!
-I DO WANT TO SEE IT! -A WORLD WITHOUT TROI! -I want to live until then! -B-but..!! -THEN LIVE! (this bubble straddles both panels) -Even if your chances of survival are 1%, why give up!? -No matter how much longer it will allow you to survive, -You need to make this decision now!
45-46 -I already decided -If you want to take my hand -I will never let go!
-I'll make it through whatever obstacles come my way -And reach that Cathedral! -And I mean, of course, -That we'll do it together!
-Will you bet on the chance that you'll survive? -Or just give up and entrust your dream to someone else? -...it's probably not my place to say this, but -You -Want your wish so bad that it moved you to tears, right?
-Then come -Come with me -I'll figure out a way
-And lend a helping hand -In making your dream come true!
47 -hah?
-Woah, woah, what's this? -A cute little couple holding hands coming to greet me? -You must be ready to die or somethin'!
48 -Listen! I have a plan!
-Let me make this clear, it's not a plan to run away -EEEEEHHH!?
-Then, what the heck are you going to do!? -There's no way we can fight and defeat that man! -Besides, how the heck can we fight like this!? -H-hold on, hear me out!!
-Look, the enemy is an expert fighter, right? -Even if we were able to slip away do you really think he won't come after us again? -We'd have no hope if he were to lie in wait for us later and attack when we least expect it -...hm
-Judging from the way he attacked us, he clearly sees us as no threat to him -So, all we need to do is take him down while he isn't on guard!
-And so, -I've got just the plan for that!
49 -hmph!
-At first, we have to keep running away
-wha-what is this?
50 (t/n - i believe the page is divided in two. the right stuff is elraine, the left stuff is the assassin, so you're supposed to read it right side first then left. if that makes sense.) Right side first: -Even though we're fighting while holding hands, -I don't feel restricted in any way!
-No...wait -It's him -He's following my movements!
-I just met him today! He's a complete stranger! And yet... -He can work with me this well!?
-Just who... -Is he!?!
Left side: -What's with them?!
-Trying to fight me while holding hands? -This some kinda joke?
-Maybe they have some kinda reason for doing so -Fuh...not like it's gonna help 'em
-at all--!!!
51 -He's going for our hands! -Watch out!
-Oh no--!!!
-Kiri-san!!
-HAH! -That little show of affection is so important to you? -Don't think your weak point could be any more obvious!
-I prefer it when my pitiful prey tries to resist -But now it's time...
52 -TO END IT!
-Let's say for example
-Someone used to fighting -Saw us holding hands in the middle of a fight -They'd obviously see it as a weakness and go for it
-So then we -Gotta make it look really obvious
-That way, when he tries to lunge at us with a huge move aimed our "weakness"...
-In that moment,
53 -We let go!
-What!?
-The moment he goes for an all-out blow -Is the same moment he's wide open!
-See? It's a great plan!
54 -GUWAAA!! -Da-
-Damnit!!
-Wha-- -It's like they're movements are totally coordinated -...then that means...
-his comment -he's going for our hands!
-Was a trap!! And I took the bait!? -Ridiculous! They're just kids! They're...!
-GUH!!
-To come up with a plan like this at the last second... -Just who...
-who is -this boy!?
-Who are -these guys!?
55 (t/n - gotta make some space for this: big double meaning going on here. "ittai" is the expression in "what in the world"??, an expression of generality. However, it also very literally means "one body", which i am positive is a reflection of the entire theme of this series - two people fighting as one. they act, as it were, as one flesh. this page is therefore quite hard to translate. I see therefore two options here for the top panel.) 1) They fight as one!!, or 2) Who in the world... (and continues on the next page) [...if you want my personal opinion, i'd opt for option 1. but I leave it up to scanlators]
-GAFUWA!!
56 -Who in the world is he?? (t/n - obviously, only use "is he" as a continuation if you chose option 2)
-Amazing!!
-It worked so well... -and all according to plan!
57 -Yeah, you said it! I can't believe it either! -Wha--! -WHAAAAT!?
-WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO CAME UP WITH IT!? -Well, I was confident it would work, but I was mostly just going with the flow... -The flow!?
-This story -Is the tale of one young boy (small text, from topmost down:) -But you said you were sure! -Right, because that made you agree to do it! -Well...nothing bad happened so I guess it's okay... -NO IT'S NOT OKAY!
-Back then, I had no idea -of the battles that lay in store for us -Nor of the mysterious power this boy had
box:But that's just how we met -...so, what do we do now?
box: Once this story set into motion, each of our destinies were changed -Hm...yeah, good point... -I think we should start by introducing ourselves -You know, like, properly?
58 -Kiri Rutile! -Just call me Kiri
box: And it was on this day, at this time, and at this very place...
-Sister Elraine Figarette -My close friends call me El!
-...that this story began bubble: Nice to meet'cha! black: They walk this path...together!
CHAPTER 1 /END (t/n - FINALLY~~~) NEXT TIME: Kiri and El head...home!?!
