[p122]

Kanoko: I thought we'd have a good view, but with all this steel everywhere, I can't see a thing.
Isami: We're pretty high up, so it'd be scary if we could.

Kanoko: This is way more boring than I thought it'd be!!

Box: Kanoko-chan doesn't listen when other people talk.

[p123]

Isami: I know of a really good western-style restaurant in Asakusa.
Isami: Do you like beef stew, Kanoko-chan?
Kanoko: Well...

Kanoko: I wanna watch the Giants' game at 8, so I'll be heading home.

Box: Kanoko-chan is a Yomiuri Giants fan.
Isami: Oh, then, how about we go to the stadium? Suidobashi Station's closeby, so...
Kanoko: They're playing in Hiroshima today, you know~
Kanoko: And you can see the players' faces muuuch better on the TV broadcast. ♡

Box: By the way, I'm a Hanshin Tigers fan.
Box: Later, I'll fantasize about the Giants suffering a crushing defeat.

Isami: I guess we'll head home
Isami: after watching the sunset.

[p124]

Kanoko: Yup.
Kanoko: Right after.

Box: I see.
Box: Today will end after this climb...

[p125]

left of Kanoko: Thanks!
Isami: Eh? Let's rest a bit longer.
Kanoko: Now.

Rin: If you...

[p130]

Rin: have reached the bottom of your parfait, you can order another.

Rin: There is no way of knowing whether the new parfait will taste the same, though.

Isami: I don't get what you're saying at all.

[p131]

white sfx: Clang clang clang

Kanoko: Hehe. Am I heavier after that parfait?
Isami: Nah, you're like a feather.

Isami: Now, anyway.
Kanoko: Huh?

Isami: Er, nothing.
Isami: Umm...
Isami: It's thanks to this Tokyo Tower that we'll be able to watch the Tokyo Olympics on TV, you know.

Kanoko: The Tokyo Olympics!!
Kanoko: I'm looking forward to them! I wonder if any Giants players will be there. It's 6 years from now, I think?
Isami: 5 years.
Kanoko: Five, huh... that's a long way off.

Isami: Not at all.
Isami: 5 years will pass
Isami: in the blink of an eye.

[p132]

Isami: Take today, for instance. It's already sunset.
Isami: Time flies when you're having fun.

Isami: I want
Isami: things to be like this forever.

Kanoko: What's up, Isami-kun?
Kanoko: We should have reached the viewing platform by now...

Rin: We are right around here at the moment.

[p133]

Rin white sfx: Tap tap tap

Kanoko: Eh?
Kanoko: Rin-chan, how did you...

Isami: You only imagined it, Kanoko-chan!
Kanoko: Kyaa!

Kanoko: There's something off with the signs, though.
all signs: Now at 75 M

Kanoko: And there are a lot of crows, too.

[p134]

Kanoko: It feels like we're climbing the same set of stairs on a loop...

Kanoko: Put me down!
Isami: Guah!

Kanoko: Something strange is going on, Isami-kun.
Kanoko: What's with this place...

Isami: Aw, man. Now there's matches everywhere.
Isami: You're so insensitive, Kanoko-chan.

[p135]

Isami: I made all those people outside the elevator disappear for you, y'know?
Isami: That soda I gave you tasted good, didn't it? I was a perfect Tokyo Tower tour guide, wasn't I?
Isami: C'mon, let's keep having fun while we climb the stairs to the viewing platform for eternity.

Isami: I'll fulfill every last one
Isami: of your selfish desires, Kanoko-chan.

Kanoko: Fulfill...
Kanoko: my desires?

Rin: While one of these is lit, it will give concrete form to your thoughts.
Rin: In other words,

[p136]

Rin: these fantasy matches will
Rin: turn your fantasies into reality.

Kanoko: Fantasies...

Isami: Kanoko-chan!

Kanoko: Look, Isami-kun!
Kanoko: The sunset's so pretty!!

[p137]

Kanoko: So let's end things here for today.
Kanoko: Okay?

Box: Kanoko-chan is a selfish girl.

Box: Kanoko-chan is always so lively.
Isami: How about we go to the beach?

Box: Kanoko-chan runs fast.
Isami: Let's keep the date going until we're worn out.

Box: Kanoko-chan eats well.
Isami: We'll go eat some delicious food.

[p138]

Isami: I want to stay with you forever and ever and ever!!!

Kanoko: Look at you crying, even though you're a guy...
Kanoko: I wonder which of us is truly the selfish one.

Isami: Kanoko-chan!!

[p139]

Kanoko: Sorry.
Kanoko: But still,

Box: Kanoko-chan is...

Kanoko: thank you.

[p140]

Kanoko: Return everything to how it was.

[p141]

Isami: W...hy did you...
Isami: change it b...back...

Kanoko: Hehe. We sure were an embarassing pair at 18,
Kanoko: you old coot.

Kanoko: But remember

Kanoko: how we went on to see the Tokyo Olympics' opening ceremony together, and how exciting it was?
(note: the 1964 Tokyo Olympics)
Kanoko: Even members from the Giants' V9 era were there.
Kanoko: We got married, you became known as "dad", and that later changed to "grandpa."

Kanoko: And now, I've fallen ill
Kanoko: and have an old coot in tears here with me, clutching my hand.

[p142]

Kanoko: I've enjoyed eeeevery last bit of it.
Kanoko: It would be such a waste to stay as we were at 18 forever, you know?

Kanoko: Making lots and lots of happy memories...
Kanoko: That is my fantasy.

[p143]

Kanoko: Take me to the Tokyo Olympics' opening ceremony too, okay?
Isami: Eh?
Kanoko: In 2020. There's still 6 years to go, but

Kanoko: I'm not about to die so easily.

Kanoko: If you reach the bottom of your parfait,
Kanoko: you can order another.

[p144]

Kanoko: So I wanna eat a Skytree Parfait, okay?
Kanoko: Isami-kun.

Box: Kanoko-chan is a selfish girl.

Girl: Haah? What's with that glare, Takahashiii?
Girl: I've told you like, a thousand times that we didn't do this, y'know!
Girl: If you're still convinced it was us, then where's the proof!

Kishida: Hey, now!
Girl: Kishida-chan!

Girl: You really shouldn't get involved with Takahashi-senpai.
Girl: It won't bode well for you.

Taka: But I don't have any...
Box: You'd need to read their minds to find such a thing.
Box: Those two are rotten to the core, no doubt about it.

[p088]

Box: They knock others down to raise themselves up.
Box: That ugliness is their vice.

Box: They're the type I hate the most.
Box: I'd like to take a peek at their thoughts.

[p094]

(Kishida): With these, I can find the culprit.

[p098]

Rin: I assume you have already located the culprit, Kishida-sama?

Teacher: Quiet down over there, Kishida!
Kishida: Wha? But...

Kishida: Why isn't anyone bothered by it?

Rin: Mayhaps you are more concerned with others' assessment of you than with the culprit?

Kishida: Haah?
Kishida: It's plain to see what people think of me.

[p099]

Rin: You are only looking at the surface.

Kishida: Eh?

Rin: Oh dear, that's not good.

Rin: Would you care for a toasted sandwich?
Kishida: No, um...

She's a genius. / It's overwhelming!
How'd she get so good?
I wanna paint like that too. / So cool!

Kishida: But-
Kishida: But...

Kishida: It's about the same level as mine, isn't it?
Kishida: It's not really all that impressive, you know?

[p111]

circle: I feel bad for Kishida-san's hanging next to it.

Girl: Ah, but
Girl: Kishida-san's is definitely the best.
Girl: Yup, definitely.

circle: Kishida's just conscientious.
Box: That
Box: means I'm skilled, right?

circle: It's like the grand prize is all she's after.
Box: I put in a lot of effort and created a good painting, didn't I?

Kishida: Oh.
Kishida: That's right, ahaha.

Kishida: This means they're jealous of me, too.

Oono: stop tossing your cigarette butts on the ground.

Box: Does confrontation scare you?
Box: It's okay.

Oono: I mean, smoking while walking is against the law to begin with!!
Oono: What are you gonna do if you expose children to it!!

Oono: Did you know that removing graffiti in New York reduced the amount of crime?
Oono: There's a connection between a town's landscape and its criminal activity, you know. This is Akiba, which is said to stink of otaku even under the best of circumstances, so you can at least clean up after your own cigarettes.

[p052]

Oono: W- what an intolerant guy...
Box: 10% of people get unjustifiably angry when given advice.

[p053]

Box: I won't yield to violence, though if I get rough-housed every time, it's definitely going to interfere with my daily life.

Oono: Stop throwing your cigarette butts on the ground!!
Man: I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore!
Box: If I were strong, that would be the end of my problems.

Rin: One box is equivalent to a year of your lifespan.
Rin: The fantasy may seem a bit old-fashioned, but the retro look is quite stylish.

Oono: Huh?

[p059]

Rin: You desire persuasive power, do you not?

Oono: How did... you...

Rin: I am the proprietress of "Match Girl."
Rin: My name is Rin.

[p060]

Oono: And I ended up buying it.
Oono: I didn't give her any money, though...
Oono: Lifespan? A year?
Oono: I was totally tricked, wasn't I?

Oono: Man, what the heck am I doing.

black sfx: Gyahahaha!

(Oono): Geh. It's the guy from before!!

[p061]

Guy: It fell!!
Guy: Oh nooo, you dropped your cigarette butt!!
Guy: Oh man, he's gonna say it! We're gonna get a lame-ass "don't throw your cigarette butts on the ground" lecture!

(Oono): They're picking a fight with me!!!
Guy: C'mon, say it.

(Oono): Fantasies?
(Oono): No, what I have

Guy: Huh?
Guy: What're you doing?

[p062]

(Oono): is a sense of justice.
Oono: I'll return to you every last cigarette butt

Oono: you have ever dropped.

Guy: Aw man, I'm in trouble nooow~
Guy: Let's smack'im around!!!

Guy: Here we go...

Oono: Hello,
Oono: I was hoping to get another box.

Rin: I am glad to see you are enjoying yourself.
Oono: Ahaha.
Oono: I'm punishing bad guys.

Rin: Be that as it may, please be careful.

[p067]

Oono: Eh? Of what?!
Rin: Well, as an example,

Rin: this coffee I offered you the other day.
Oono: Uhh, that expensive something or other?

Rin: "Kopi Luwak" is a coffee bean which is picked out of a civet's feces.

Oono: F-feces?!
Rin: Civets eat tasty coffee cherries, and only the beans are excreted without being fully digested. That's the process behind this valuable and expensive coffee.
sfx bubble: Plop plop
Rin: It is quite famous.

Oono: O-oh.
Oono: So why bring it up?

Rin: Put simply,

[p068]

Rin: it ultimately boils down to
Rin: shit.

Rin: That might be something to keep in mind.
paper, top right text: Receipt
paper, large text on left side: 1 year of life

Oono: I don't really get what you're saying...

Oono: Well, whatever. I'll probably come again.
Oono: Bye.

Rin: Maintaining a sense of justice is a wonderful thing.

[p069]

tv text: Missing girl safe and sound
Announcer: The young girl who had been missing is now safely under protective custody.
Announcer: The perpetrator was caught red-handed and has been arrested.

Girl: That's scary...
Girl2: I'm glad she's safe, though.

Oono: Geez,
Oono: I'd have caught the guy
Oono: if it happened in front of me.

Rin: However, this country is a peaceful one,
Rin: and it has an excellent police force.
Rin: About all you'll find are molesters or people tossing cigarette butts.

[p070]

(Rin): What will you do with all of that excess persuasive force?

Box: Another cigarette butt?
Box: Enough already.
Box: Cigarette butt, cigarette butt, molester, cigarette butt, cigarette butt.

Oono: C'mon,
Oono: you've gotta put your cigarette in a trash can.
sfx bubble: Chk
Box: Japan is way too peaceful.

Oono: Maan...

[p071]

Oono: If only something like the stuff in tokusatsu shows would happen...

Oono: Crap...!!!

[p073]

Oono: Ah.

Oono: It's Atopapa, the monster from episode 13!!
Oono: It's Atopapa!!
Oono: Wait, nevermind that-

[p074]

Man: UAAAH!!!
Man: What the- what is that!!!

Oono: Aw, it slipped out.
Oono: This all started because of you, you know.

(Oono): Maybe I should scare him a bit more.
Box: Fools need to be taught a lesson.

Box: Repent, you fool.
Box: Suffer even more, you fool.

Box: Fools need to...

[p075]

Rin: it ultimately boils down to
Rin: shit.
Rin: That might be something to keep in mind.

Box: Oh.

Box: I get it now.

Box: My sense of justice
Box: is one that liked to find fault with evildoers.

[p076]

(Oono): Man, I'm petty.

[p077]

Oono: R... right, I have to hurry and
Oono: use a match to return things... to normal.

[p078]

Rin: The ability to recognize one's own faults
Rin: requires a strong sense of justice.

Rin: So,

Rin: how will you go about saving the world now?

{I've always thought...}
{If only someone would come to save me...}
{To capture and...}
{Send guys like this to hell...}
{So that Matsubara-san wouldn't have to see something like this..}

003
{To beat the ever living crap out of guys like this...}

004
???: Would you...
Like a match?
Dude: What's your deal brat?
It's best if you don't look over here.
???: Yes...
First would you like to see a demonstration?
This will grant your memories...
your delusions shape.

005
???: To beat the ever living crap out of guys like this.

006
Guy: Cough...
Cough cough..
Eh...
Ehhh?!

007

008

009
???: While the flame is lit memories become like this.
In short.
These matches allow your delusions to become relaity.
Delusions might seem unreasonably small in their representation, but this retro mood is rather popular.

010
???: I'm the match salesgirl Rin. A pleasure.
I await your future patronage.
(TN- This is basically a business card. Some of it is illegible, but one part says '1st year' and the block on the side says 'Match Girl')
Matsubara: Officer, over here!
Hurry!
Huh....

011
???: Eh?
Eh?

012
{So what happened yesterday wasn't a dream...}

013
Dude: My fantasies are becoming reality.
Making myself taller...
And giving myself stronger muslces..
Welp, they aren't delusions anymore.
There are 48 of these left....i should be careful in how I use them.
Moreover gotta watch out for moisture.
Hm.
(Sign- This product may be used for granting delusions but not for wish fulfillment. Please use with caution.)
Dude: Huuh?
What's the difference between wishes and delusions?

014
Matsubara: Yuuki-kun.
Yuuki: Oh, Matsubara-san.
Matsubara: Hm?
Were you always this tall Yuuki-kun?
Yuuki: Eh? Well...
Now that you say that...
I guess I just don't have the characteristics to be this tall huh?
Matsubara: That's not what I mean....You just surprised me yesterday.
How are your injuries? Are you okay?
Yuuki: Yeah, thanks for yesterday.

015
Matsubara: Those two were regular offenders apparently..
They hurt my friends as well...
Thank goodness they were caught.
And it's thanks to you Yuuki-kun.
Yuuki: Ah...it's not...

016
Yuuki: It's raining today too?
The matches are gonna get wet...
I wonder if I can use matches to brighten things up?
Dudes: On a day like I wonder if we're gonna be able to see some brastraps?
If that's the case I wonder if a girl's gonna come with no bra at all?

017
Yuuki: Morning~
Dudes: ...Yeah...
Mornin'...
Teacher: Yuuki...
Come here for a moment.
Yuuki: Huh?
I didn't cheat!

018
Teacher: But..well your grade for the exam this time were well good, and it happened so suddenly.
Moreover...
Someone said they saw you doing something during the test as well.
Yuuki: Who said that...?
Teacher: Well...I can't tell you.
Yuuki: Who's the one who ran their mouth...
About me?

019
Dude: Man you're pretty messed up.
Dude2: Well....Yuuki's beein actin like a big shot lately.
Moreover he really did do something..
Don't underestimate my powers of obversvation.
Dude: What's the matter?
Dude2: My eyes....

020
???: This girl can exchange..
Your eyes for his. How about it? Would you like a trade?
Yuuki: You okay?
If you want to you can use these...
I think they'd be excellent for you.

021
Yuuki: I don't have any need for 'em anymore.
Matsubara-san.

022
Matsubara: You've got contacts now?
You've got a completely different feel now.
Yuuki: By the way Matsubara-san, how'd you do on your end of semester exams?
Matsubara: Oh don't ask.
Yuuki: Since we're on a break from tests...
Do you wanna go anywhere?
Together I mean.

023
Matsubara: I'm sorry...
But I have a boyfriend.
Yuuki: Is that so? Makes sense...
You are really cute Matsubara-san.
Matsubara: Oh it's so not like that...

024
Rin: You appear to be having a good time.
Youngsters tend to use them up faster...
But having the free time to fantasize isn't a bad thing.
However...
Claims for complaints will not be granted..
So be mindful of that.

025
Rin: Fantasizing about delusions means being prepared for unpleasant and unwanted things.
Matsubara: What? Do you know that girl?
Yuuki: Matsubara-san...
Fall in love with me.
Matsubara: Eh?

026
Yuuki: I don't need to be prepared...
There's no need for strength or effort.
Fall in love with me.
{I just need to strike a match.}
Dude: Oh, my bad.

027

028

029
Dude: That guy's got a gun!!
Matsubara: Yuuki...kun?
Yuuki: No...
I just..
Was...
Thinking about it...
That's right...
I have the matches...

030
Police: We're the police.
Drop the gun son.
Yuuki: A...
Ah...
ahh..
Police: Wait!
Yuuki: This isn't right...
It wasn't my fault!!
I didn't fantasize this!
So...

031
Yuuki: Give me the matches!!
Police: Hey!!
Come with us quietly!!

032
Yuuki: No way.

033
Yuuki: Hah...
Hah...
Ahahah..
That was close.
Rin: You're free to use them as you wish...
But i'd like you to observe moderation.
Yuuki: Clean up...
the blood splatter.
(Vacuum- Blood sucker)
Yuuki: It's all good.
I'll use them properly.

034
Yuuki: So give me all of these matches.
Rin: I unfortunately cannot give them all away for free.
Do you intend on using them all at once?
Yuuki: Shut up.
I'd advise you not to irritate me...
or do you want to see one hell of an illusion?

035
Yuuki: You might be a Mach selling girl...
But you can have a bad ending too.

036
Yuuki: Huh?
Why is she making that 'everything-is-fine' face?
Does she have a match?
No...she shouldn't have any.

037

038

039

040

041
Yuuki: Eh...
ah...
Rin: That's right..
'Fear' is a part of delusions too.
Yuuki: Dam---

042

043
Rin: A match is merely a remnant of fire.
You shouldn't use it for anything more than lighting your path.
Use your own ability to grant your own wishes.
Thank you for your purchase.

044
Rin: Would anyone like a match...?
