And my blitz is done for tonight. You've been a great audience! Goodnight everybody!
And now another PSA! People have been asking me for Traumiester raws, and while I do have the tanks I don't have a scanner to scan them in. However my bestest friend in the world MBG has access to SS and a scanner! Unfortunately she is running low on cash and will lose her subscription to SS in a little while. So if you guys ask nicely (and throw in a little tiny donation) Perhaps you'll turn on your computers, log into MH and notice that Traumiester scans have started appearing.
Don't take my word for it though. Just head over to www.conan-magic.com and do what's in your heart. I'll be posting this on Translations through mid-April, so no one can say they didn't know.
ACT 35 Samsara (2)
002
Shunpei: G---
Grandpa is...
Alive?!
Are you serious?!
Is this the truth?!!
Grandpa....
Where have you been up until now..!!!
003
Watchman: Yes, and...
That little white lie I told? You know. 'Kill this boy, and you gain the power of Closer the magical king?' …..
I fabricated that rumor and spread it around the world for one reason only.
Handwritten: Sliceslice
Slicesliceslice.
Watchman: To use you...
And force Alyshid Closer to come out of hiding.
Hyde: A decoy?!
So you're coming clean about it,
You're the one who started blabbing his mouth and causing us trouble!
Watchman: Blabbing....huh?
Heheh.
Well I guess in it's own brutish way that's true.
But aren't you forgetting something very important right now? 004
Watchman: The basis of magic is 'The power of belief.'
Most important being, 'strong belief in self'
So called Humans,
Sit comfortably in their living rooms and absorb random knowledge that media throws at them. In truth it is the definition of foolishness.
Buying useless health goods, and relying on close bonds,
Fooling each other, and then assuming the name of justice or evil.
By giving a group of magicians something to believe in,
I granted them power, and all I had to do was tell them to kill you....
005
Watchman: So in the end, it's impossible to tell,
whether I truly lied or not....
Shunpei: T—Then,
Tell me! What on earth is so important you'd go this far....
Stop dancing around the issue and tell it to me straight!!
Watchman: It is so I can quench this 'thirst'....
It is something that I truly desire more than anything in the world.
I 'thirst' for one thing....
To take this vexation called humanity and wipe it cleanly off the face of the earth.
006
Shunpei: To kill...
All humans....
Hyde: You should dream ridiculous stuff when you're sleeping.
So you've gathered countless magicians just so you can do something like that?
Watchman: Would the two of you like to hear a story?
You could say that it was a backwater tribe in Africa that first came up with magic.
Since then the knowledge of magic has been handed down for ages. Since there's not much you can do, why not humor me?
{Once upon a time, in a mountain range in Africa}
{People lived in a small village.}
007
{That year disaster had struck the crops as the rain season never came.}
{The village soon found themselves unable to feed themselves.}
{One day a traveling salesman appeared there.}
{The salesman had been detoured since the route he usually took has been destroyed by a landslide.}
{He happened upon the village by chance.}
{The villagers told them about their plight, and he took pity upon them.}
{Because he wouldn't be able to make it to his regular customer,}
{He decided to give them all that he had, which was a single chicken.}
008
{The villagers just happened to have a barn, where they decided to keep their precious and rare food supply.}
{So they placed the chicken under lock and key.}
{However, many years had deteriorated the door to the barn,}
{And the chicken was able to leave.}
{The villagers quickly went looking for the chicken once they realized what had happened.}
{That day by chance,}
{Clouds covered a night sky.}
{The chicken fled deep into the forest.}
{Unfortunately for the poor bird, the beasts in the jungle,} {Were more than a match for the small flightless creature.}
{However the chicken was saved by a human hunter by coincidence.}
{The chicken fled again, and rested a while,}
{Underneath tree branches that just happened to be there.}
{The chicken managed to successfully live a while,}
{And walked deeper into the jungle.}
009
{It was there that by chance,}
{A little girl found the chicken.}
{The girl found a place that she could run to,}
{Away from the people and things that she hated.}
{That day the girl by coincidence late in the morning.}
{She had forgotten to draw the water,}
{By coincidence, her father found out about her slip up,}
{And he scolded her for not following through on her responsibility.}
{She left and found the chicken, but it was too late.}
{It had lived a long time, but fatigue claimed it's life. In the end although it managed to stay away from being eaten, It's own lack of strength had did it in.}
{With the last of it's strength the chicken laid a single egg.}
010
{The girl's village wasn't prosperous at all.}
{She had thought to herself that she would eat the egg, but...}
{That day as much as possible she....}
Girl: You know...
I have something that's really bothering me this morning....
But I don't feel so bad anymore....do you know why that is?
That's because I'm gonna take all of these bad feelings,
and place them into you!
But that's not it...I'll put painful feelings in too!
And those feelings will swirl and grow within you,
And one day those terrible feelings will hatch out. So you'll be my good luck charm!
(Handwritten- Teehee!)
{The little girl was still at an age where she could say such things and be serious about them,}
{And so through this minor exchange she did truly feel better.}
011
{Coincidentally, unknown to even her, the little girl....}
{Possessed the ability to use 'magic.'-------}
012
{Her magic allowed her words to become reality.}
{She had inadvertently created the first 'device',}
{Not only that, but it remained active...absorbing hate, jealousy, and grudges. In essense all of the evil mankind held in it's hearts.}
{Countless years flowed by,}
{And coincidentally, no one found the egg.}
{So even now it exists, continuing to absorb.....}
Watchman: Yes everything is 'coincidental'....
But what if something like that were truly to exist?
By now it would be a power that could very well rip the planet asunder,
The ultimate 'device'.
013
Shunpei: W—what....
What's the reason for that story?!
You don't mean...
Watchman: And now the pieces fall together huh....
Let me get to the conclusion.
This story,
Is not fiction but fact.
The egg truly does exist.
014
Watchman: Starting six years ago...
I have exhausted myself in search for that egg.
At long last I located it on Africa's sacred mountain Kilimanjaro.
That egg has been incubating this world's ill will, all before our very eyes.
If I could get it in my possession,
???: Slicesliceslice....
Watchman: Then at long last I could quench this thirst of mine.
I was confident that I would at long last get what I wanted.....
{Africa 6 years ago.}
Watchman: Everything was set.
But then he appeared,
And his existence has been a thorn in my side....
015
Alyshid: It's this....?!
All of this magic hanging in the air,
It's more than I thought....better investigate... No way...
Those rumors...
They're true...?!
If this thing should get out,
It would bring with it the end of the world..!!
016
017
018
Watchman: The name of the oldest 'device' is...
Resentment.

And now another PSA! People have been asking me for Traumiester raws, and while I do have the tanks I don't have a scanner to scan them in. However my bestest friend in the world MBG has access to SS and a scanner! Unfortunately she is running low on cash and will lose her subscription to SS in a little while.

ACT 34 Samsara (1)
(TN- It does say life and death, but when I looked it up, Samsara was one of the alternatives...and considering that it looks to be written as one word, I thought using this would be more fitting. Samsara is the cycle of death and rebirth in Hinduism for inquiring minds....)
Shunpei: H--
Huh?
Why is...
Everyone here?
Mom: Shun-chan, you're still just a middle school student, so I guess you wouldn't know...
Shunpei: Mom!
Mom: Grandpa went to Africa and disappeared 6 years ago....
It's safe to assume that the worst has happened, and we need to make proper arrangements.
Now Shun-chan, come here...
And say goodbye to your grandpa.
002
Shunpei: Why should I say that?!
I know for a fact that Grandpa is alive and he'll be back for sure!!
People: But it's been six whole years!!
Don't you think that's a bit strange?!
Wake up and look at reality kid!!
Your grandpappy is dead!!
There's no way he can still be among the living!
Shunpei: Uwa...
Uwahhh...
He's dead for sure!!
Dead!! Dead and buried!!
Shunpei: Lies!!
You're all lying to me!!
My Grandpa,
He wouldn't just roll over and die so easily!!!!
003
Shunpei: A dream...
ACT 34 Samsara (1)
004
Shunpei: I'm off!!
Hey Hyde.
Hyde: What's up?
Shunpei: It's been six years now...
And I've been through some pretty hairy situations....
But why hasn't Grandpa come to give me a hand....?
Do you think....
He's still alive?
005
Hyde: How would I know?
I've been here for the last six years keeping you out of trouble, and making sure those magicians don't take your life.
But you shouldn't say things like that about him...
So casually.....
It's been tough huh?
Shunpei: Yeah... I don't know how I got through the last few months,
I'm sure if it were just me I would have run myself to death....
But thanks to you Hyde,
Tatsumi-san, Pacqua-san, Shindou-senpai, Ana, and Kazan-san...
I've managed to make it through. Your friendships are what really came through for me...
As long as you guys are here,
Each day of my life is full of excitement!
All right! Today too,
I'll live my school life to the fullest....
006
Shunpei: Wha...?!
007
Shunpei: Why...
Why the school?!
008
Kid: Ungh!!
Shunpei: Are you okay?!
What the heck is going on here?!
Kid: A—A monster!!
A toy monster...!!
Adult: Hey you!!
Where do you think you're going?!
It's dangerous there!
Get back here at once!!
Shunpei: Ana!! Shindou-senpai!!
???: Slice....
Sliceslice....
009
???: Slicesliceslice...
Slice.... . Sliceyourlegs....
Sliiiiiceee!!!
010
Shunpei: What is this....
He's....
Shindou: Che...!!
Mozanhag!
???: Sislice!!
Slicesliceslicesliceslicesliceslice!!
(TN- I can tell I'm not going to like him.)
???: Slicesliceslicesliceslice!!
Shindou: NGHA!!
011
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai!!
Shindou: U—ugh....
Tomiko: Sh—Shindou-sama....!!
???: Sliceslice...
Sliceyourlegs!!
Shunpei: It's okay! They've only lost consciousness!! But it'll be worse if we don't get them help fast!!
Hyde: Yeah...
But before that we've got some business to take care of.
More importantly, I didn't think those two could be done in so easily.
This ain't some garden variety thug....
???: Hehehe....
And the lead actor takes center stage....
Oh please pardon me, I had to do a bit of cleaning for your arrival,
But now it's ready...
So I can take my time and enjoy your show....
Shunpei: No way...
You're....!!
012
Shunpei: THE WATCHMAN??!
013
Watchman: Well now!
You know me? How flattering! I guess my reputation precedes me.
But it makes sense, as it's because of my rumor...
That the two of you have been mere puppets on a string...
Hehehe....
Hyde: So you're the one spreading that crap about Shun huh,
What brings you here buddy?
Shunpei: Why?!
You're after me right?!
The people here at the school have nothing to do with us!! Why'd you hurt them!? 014
Shunpei: That's not all!!
You even involved a little kid like Enrique,
and set all the magicians of the world out, thirsty for my blood!!
What do you want from me?!?!
Watchman: Hehehe...
Closer-kun.
You know...
I have respect for you.
Your growth has far exceeded any of my expectations.
Because of you, none of my plans have come into fruition.
Since I respect you so much,
I suppose it wouldn't hurt to answer your questions....
015
Watchman: See...
It's all for the sake of drawing that man in...
And forcing him to return.
Shunpei: That man?!
{Africa- MT. Kilimanjaro)
Watchman: It is with great pleasure that I bring you good news.
That man.....
016
Watchman: Alyshid Closer is,
017
Watchman: Alive and well. 018
Shunpei: What...?!
Grandpa...
He's alive?!
https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/9955[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 33 by Bomber D Rufi2009-03-02T06:14:41+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.com And so the Iron power saga comes to a close, as well as my Hyde triple blitz. Next time I see you (dunno when, since I should get to Albatross...) I'll be bringing you a whole new arc starting with chapter 34 however, the next chapter marks a darker more sinister change in plot...and possibly the most tragic loss for Shunpei....stay tuned!!
ACT 33 Tin plate (Iron Power) (5)
(TN- Cute Pacqua is cute.)
002
Kazan: You....?
Kanna: Shunpei-niichan...!!
003
Abumiya: You...
You're the brat with Closer's powers I presume?
Hehehe
I didn't think that you'd be dumb enough to show up her uninvited...
But right now I'm a bit busy trying to bring down this church.
So you'll have to take a rain check and sit tight for a minute.
Once I'm done, I'll give you my full attention...how's that sound....?
I won't allow anyone to get in my way when i'm having fun.
So be a good little boy and watch!!
Kazan: 'the hell you doin' here Shunpei?!
Shunpei: I'm sorry Kazan-san...
It's my fault that he's here.....
I'll explain everything after I'm done....
For now, it's time we teach this punk a lesson!!
004
Abumiya: You're going to teach me a lesson?
Heheh...
I don't think you quite grasp the gravity of this situation do you?
Your beloved Kanna-chan....
Is my pawn right now!!
Ranshii's magic 'Ebony chance'
can crack clean through the body part that appears on the dice once it's rolled.
It's power cannot be stopped by anyone...it's perfect!!
I dare you to take one more step closer...
If you break Ranshii, the dice will fall...
And I wonder what part of poor widdle Kanna will break next?
And you still think you can beat me?!
If you want to hit me so bad try it! But can you live with yourself...
When Kanna-chan's no more than a bag of body parts....?!
HUUUH?!
005
Abumiya: What'll be broken next I wonder?!
Her eyes?
Her eardrums?
Maybe her tongue will fall right out?
Or maybe her stomach will burst, and we'll get to see what she ate for breakfast?!
There are so many possiblities!!
So many ways to watch her die, that aren't limited to just her heart!!
How about if the lungs collapse?
And we watch her struggle to breath until she finally drops dead?
Or if I roll 'leg' three times....
And we watch as all of her precious little limbs splinter into little pieces?! I doubt cute lil Kanna'll elver walk again!!
(TN- ….dude we get it...you can break the loli without touching her. Someone get this guy a tissue box and some nudie mags.)
006
Abumiya: Hehehehe!!
Ranshii's 'Ebony Chance' is the ultimate power!!
And all because you fools want to play hero and defeat the bad guy....
while holding what you love and care for close to you!
But now I hope you get it!! It's because you have things to protect,
That you can't lift a finger against me!!!
Kazan: Damn you....
How friggin low are you gonna go..!!
Abumiya: If you guys get it...sit tight.
I'll get to you when I'm done!
Hyde: You don't seem to get it punk....!
007
Hyde: Who gives a flying crap about those kids? I don't know 'em.
If you wanna kill 'em so bad go on and do it.
Right Shun my boy?
Shunpei: Right on.
Why would I stretch my neck out for a church and some kids?
After all this has no~~thing to do with the two of us!
008
Abumiya: EH?!?
Kazan: Wha...?!
'the hell you talkin' about?!
Why'd you come here then...!?
Abumiya: Damn!!
Who do you think you're stepping to...?!
Shunpei: A little birdy told me, If a magician who has nothing to do with the hostage appears...
then the magic doesn't affect them right?
Abumiya: Bu—but you heard me right...?!
You know what'll happen if you get closer...
I know how people like you operate,
You won't let me hurt that little girl will you...?!
Shunpei: Ya think so?
Well why not roll the dice then.
Abumiya: Are you serious?
Hey come on man! I have a hostage!!
You can't possibly be saying you're fine with her being hurt are you?!
Hyde: Shut your noise hole loser.
If you're gonna roll the damn dice do it...we don't care if some brat dies in the process.
Abumiya: Hold on a second!!
Are you seriously saying you could care less about her?!
You're kidding right!!
You have to be!!
Tell me your kidding!!
Right?!
Hyde: Yeah....
010
Hyde: We're just kidding!! Shunpei: Sorry about that Kanna-chan!
But now we can settle this,
Since we're gotten close enough!!
I guess this lesson was too heavy for you small fry...
Smell ya later!
011
012
Abumiya: Ugh!!
Ranshii....!!
Crap...
The 'curse' will return to me...!!
U...
Uwah..
ARRRGGGHHH!!!
Gugh..
Why....?!
This garbage dump...
Why the hell do you bastards want to protect it so badly....?
How could I....
Be defeated by the likes of you...?!
013
Hyde: You think about it...
It's not something I can explain.
Anyway....
Even If I had a lifetime to explain it to you... It would be just a waste of time...!!
Thugs: Abumiya-san....got defeated...!!
Those guys are monsters!!
Ru--
RUN AWAY!!!!
014
Kids: Holy father!!
Kazan-nii!
Shunpei: Kazan-san!!
Kanna: Holy father!! If you had died I would have never forgiven you!!
Kazan: Stupid! As if I'd die after a couple of scratches like that....
Shunpei: We have to get something to stop his bleeding!!
Mitsuru: I'll go call an ambulance!!
Shunpei: Hey Kazan-san, I'm really sorry...!!
This is all my fault!!
The truth is...
015
Kazan: Hmph...
So this 'Watchman' character spread this rumor...
And now all the magicians in the world are thirsting for your blood...?
Shunpei: Yeah...
That's why that jerk came to the church...
If only I had been quicker....this is my fau---
Kazan: I don't understand why you're cryin' though...
You didn't do anything that you have to apologize for right? Shunpei: Huh?
Kazan: I don't give a crap about no damn rumor anyway.
I owe you one for savin' the church.
That's what matters right?
Shunpei: Kazan-san!
016
Kazan: You'd better not laugh....
But I've got...
A dream of my own.
Shunpei: A dream?
Kazan: To make a world where...
No body's gotta kill anyone.
017
Kazan: I haven't quite figured out what I've gotta do to make this happen,
Hell I'm not even sure if something like that is possible.
But I ain't gonna let nothin stop me....
And I'll do whatever it takes...
That's why...
(Handwritten- The ambulance is here...!!)
Kazan: For the time being....
I'll help you kick this 'Watchman's' ass!
Shunpei: Huh?!
Kazan: Can't help it you know...!
I'm in debt to you now...and I always pay my share back!
Shunpei: Kazan-san...!! 018
Kazan: When you need someone to watch your back,
Just give me a shout out Shunpei!
Shunpei: You got it!
Thanks Kazan-san!

Thug: That guy just took three shots, and he's still standing...?!
A normal person would have been half past dead by now!!
Kanna: Holy father!!
Abumiya: Are you serious?!
For a bunch of brats he has no relation to....
He's willing to go this far....
Why can he still move...?!
Kazan: As long as I'm here.....
ACT 32 Tinplate (Iron Power) (4)
Kazan: I won't let you lay a finger on them....
Neither the church or the brats...!!
002
{Kazan was born amidst trash in the slums...and then abandoned.}
{Since his birth, Kazan has only known solitude.}
{Kazan would have to steal from others in order to survive on the mean streets..}
{This resulted in daily life or death struggles for the youth.}
{Breaking the jaws of his opponents,}
{And then taking what they had to feed upon...}
{It was a life of complete and utter despair....}
{However it was the only way a youth as himself could manage to pull himself through life in the slums.}
{He had no choice but to live as such.}
003
{And as word of Kazan's long string of fights and lack of defeats spread,}
{He soon became the kingpin of the slums.....no one was feared or hated more than him.} {He himself....}
{Had nothing in this world to fear.}
{That is until that day....}
Kazan: 'sup!
That apple looks pretty tasty man....
{Kazan took something irreplaceable.}
Kazan: Hand it over.
{He used his own two hands to take a young man's life.}
004
{The only reason he could offer for his actions...}
{Was 'I was hungry.'}
{It was as simple as that....}
{Kazan soon found the cuffs of justice wrapped around his arms...and the charge of murder hanging over him.}
Officer: You've done a lot of crap over the years kid....
But this time you've really gone and messed up.
It's one thing to be a punk....
But to kill someone....
And right in front of their mom!!
The next place you're going is the courtroom you little snot!!
If you have any damn sense left, you'd better start praying that they don't decide to kill you!!
{In the case of the young man's assalent....we have decided...}
{You are guilty as charged Kazan.}
{The punishment for this crime....}
{A DEATH SENTENCE.}
005
Kazan: Fine by me.
I'm damn fed up with this world!
If you've got the guts to kill me, make it quick!
'Cause there's nothin....
In this world that I'm scared of!!
{However as Kazan's days alive started to wane...}
{His heart slowly began to reflect on his situation...and change.}
{His attitude towards his punishment changed too...}
(Paper- Days till execution.)

(34 days left)
(32 days left)

(19 days left)
(20 days left)
(21 days left)
Kazan: What.....
(7 days left)
(8 days left)
Kazan: I'm scared!!
'The hell am I scared of...?!
Don't screw with me!!
It's like my heart's trying to friggin escape without me!!
What the hell!! What is this pressure I'm feeling...?!
This is....
(3 days left)
(2 days left)
007
Kazan: This is....
What death truly is...?!?
I'm scared...!!
I can't take this fear....!!
{I DON'T WANT TO DIE....!!}
008
Kazan: Heh...
That guy probably....
This is what he was thinking....
When I went and killed him....
Why....
Why did I have to go and do something so horrible....!!
{For the first time in his life,}
{Kazan truly regretted something he had done....and his heart ached.}
(No more days)
009
{Kazan decided to take atonement for his sins the one way he could,}
{And faced his death sentence that morning.}
Police: Get out Kazan.
You're being released. Kazan: Wha..?
What do you mean?!
Police officer: Listen to me you idiot!!
The mother of the guy you killed came to court and requested we drop the charges!!
I've never seen a stupid guy like you get such a big break before in my life!!
I don't get anything!!
You were supposed to die today!
Yet you're getting up and walking out of jail like you're innocent!
Do you think I'll ever understand or like this?!
010
{They had enough evidence to put Kazan on death row...and he was scheduled to die,}
{Yet the young man found himself released, and fee to join society.}
Kazan: What the hell....
What just happened?!
Why....?!
I don't get it...!!
{The mother of the youth who had been killed, was leaving the courtroom that day...}
{But had become lost.}
Kazan: Man I don't get anything...
I know she knows that her son's dead because of what I did...but yet...
011
Kazan: I never....
Want to see her again...!!
Truck driver: Where the hell are you walking?!
Look both ways wench!! Woman: Kyahh!!
I'm so very sorry to bother you...
My eyes aren't very good in this bright sunlight...
But I thank you so much...
Please accept my humble gratitude.
Kazan: N—nah...
It was nothin'....
Where do you want to go...?
I—If you want....
I'll take you there....
012
Woman: You know...
I had a son that was like you...
He's gone now...to a place far away from here.....
{The young man's mother told Kazan everything about her life and her sons up until this moment.}
{From how this son of hers was violent...and finally how he lost his life....}
{And of course the criminal that had been behind the death of her child....and got away without being punished.}
Kazan: Why...?!
Don't you hate that guy's guts?!?
He did something horrible to you, and yet nothing happened to him!! At least he should have gotten the death sentence....
But why?!
How come you can be at peace with what happened?!?
013
Woman: Yes you're right...I disagreed with the verdict... And felt something more should be done....
But...
The court wouldn't give a chance to my son..since he was no better than the man that had killed him....
so they closed the case...
However if that criminal regretted his actions...
I feel that there would be more merit in having him alive more than dead.
Besides, there's no point....
In losing the lives of two people when it can be avoided right?
Kazan: ….Wha...
014
Kazan: What can I do to make up for this.....?
015
Mother: Forget about what you have done in the past...and live.
016
Kanna: Holy father....
Abumiya: Wh--
What the hell..?!
How long are you going to keep this up?! Why aren't you crying and begging for your life?
Are people that you love, and things that are important really worth throwing your life away for?
To go this far for a bunch of brats living in a garbage dump...!!
You're the type of bastard I can't stand the most....
017
Abumiya: The type that doesn't know when to quit...!!!
That's why my buisness has to flounder the way it does...!!
What the hell do you want?! Tell me you pissant!!
Kazan: You don't know yet...!
Even if I had a million years to explain it...
an asshat like you wouldn't get it!
Abumiya: Heheheheheh
You really are a stubborn guy.....
If that's the case....let me give you a taste of true despair!!
Hey you guys....
Thugs: Y—Yessir!
018
Abumiya: Kill those brats.....
and make sure this guy gets a front row seat!
Don't worry! I'll be sending you to hell with 'em.
That is of course...
After you've burned this tragedy into your dirty eyesockets!!
Kazan: STOP IT!!
COME ON I'M BEGGING YOU!!!
Abumiya: Heheh..
Now then...
019
Abumiya: Cry out again...
In that sad, pathetic voice of yours.
The main attraction...
Starts from here...!!
020 021
022
Shunpei: Attacking children....
Laughing at people's important hopes and dreams...
And you still consider yourself human...!!
BRING IT ON DOUCHEBAG!!
I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!!

???: Geez, wetting the bed....
While you're asleep at this age? C'mon man!
(Bottom text- ACT 31 Tinplate (Iron Power) (3)
Kazan: I won't tell anyone okay?
So quit your cryin' and help me out!
Kanna: Why you!! I dare you to say that again!!
Kazan: Knock it off!!
What're you guys fighting about this early in the morning?
Kanna: It's all Mitsuru's fault...
He said that because we're a bunch of kids without any parents,
That they're gonna keep trying to destroy this church!
And then he said that Holy father has no bonds to us, so while you're here now...
Someday you'll leave too when the going gets too tough...!!
002
Mitsuru: Ow!
That hurts Kazan-nii!
Kazan: Damn!
I said I'm gonna protect this church!
No matter what happens to me, I'm gonna be there for you brats!
And I'd better not catch you sayin' crap like that again!
Or else I'll whup your asses!!
Mitsuru: You already hit me though....
Kazan: There isn't anything....
That I can't protect you from...!!
Boy: Ka---Kazan-nii... Kazan: Wha?
003
ACT 31: Tinplate (Iron power) (3)
Kazan: Huh!
You guys still here?
And you all came together too huh?
Whatever you guys are selling, I ain't interested!
003
Abumiya: Sorry about my men's rudeness...
I just came to talk.
I happen to be the owner of the Jiageya.....
Abumiya at your service.
(TN- I had forgotten to explain it before, but Jiageya literally means 'land shark' or 'land salesman' Neither one of which has much of an impact, which is why I left the Japanese word. Scantlators can either head back and change it, or keep it the same.)
Kazan: Oh? So this time it's the boss.
Now I can talk to you face to face.
You call off your guys or it's trouble...capiche?
Abumiya: Is that how It is?
From what I see, only one thing stands between this shoddy church and destruction.
I only showed up because my useless henchmen couldn't get the job done.
005
Kanna: Holy father....
Kazan: Don't sweat it Kanna.
You brats get inside!
I ain't gonna let him.... lay a finger on this church or any of you!
Abumiya: You're....
A magician too aren't you?
I hate to say this, but when I decided to come here...
I already had a full deck of options to choose from.
Although I've run into several magicians,
None of them could do a damn thing when facing someone packing heat.
So do you think you're any different?
Kill him.
006
Thug: Wha..?!
What the hell?!
Springs?
Desmond: Whether you pack heat or not, once my springs connect to your guns...they're MINE.
I wonder how you'll fare against my magic 'Full metal reloaded'?
You will take your own lives...
Because of the 'heat' that you're packing...!!
Thugs: You bastard! Where ya pointin' that?!
Thugs: I dunno man! My gun just moved on it's own!!
Damn!
If it's come to this...
007
Thugs: We can still do this the old fashioned way!!
Kazan: My bad....
But I've been fightin' my whole life..... And I've never lost once.
008
Abumiya: Heheheh...
So there are still some magicians that don't mind getting their hands dirty huh?
Kazan: I ain't like the other guys that you've fought against!
So you wanna take me on yourself?
Abumiya: I'm not stupid enough to pick a fight with you, and think I'll win.
Those guys were just the side show.
Work's gotta be fun after all.
Ranshii! It's about that time!
Use your magic!!
Ranshii: Today.....
Your lucky color is Indigo blue!
If you carry around a blue handkerchief your day will be a happy one!!
Ugly! Ranshii: However your UNLUCKY item is a snake pattern suit!!
If someone sees that you're done for!
So in short, today's your last day alive loser!!
(Banner on face- Jiageya is the best)
009
Kids: Ewww!!
What the heck is that?!
He's freakin terrifying!!
Cute! Ranshii: Ufufu...which child shall we use?
Ugly! Ranshii: Doesn't matter either way!!
Cute! Ranshii: How about you! Ugly! Ranshii: You're up brat!!
EBONY CHANCE!!!
010
Kanna: Huh?!
What just happened?!
Kazan: Kanna!
Why you...!!
What the hell did you do to her?!
Cute! Ranshii: Ufufufu! Here we go!
I wonder what'll happen?
Ugly Ranshii: Here's the part I've been waiting for! Geheheheh!!
Cute! Ranshii: Here goes!
Ugly Ranshii: Gehehe!!
(On Dice- Arm)
Kazan: Eh?
011
(Dice- Arm)
Kazan: Wha—what the...
What the hell is this....?
Kanna: Kyah....
012
Kanna: KYAHHHHHH!!!
Kids: Kanna!!!
Desmond: Geh!!
Bastard! Abumiya: Hold it!
You might want to think twice tin-head!!
Abumiya: If your springs mess up his tempo, he'll drop that dice!
Cute! Ranshii: So what shall we do next?
Ugly! Ranshii: I guess we'll have to see!!
I'd like it to be the ear!! Geheheheh!!
Abumiya: And all it takes is a few rolls of that dice before your cute little Kanna-chan's nothing but a dismembered pile of bones!!
Desmond: Grh!!
013
Abumiya: Looks like you're getting the picture...
Once this eight sided mirror focuses in on the opponent's body,
whatever part of the body that is rolled out on the dice is snapped!
This is Ranshii's magic!!
Ebony Chance!!
Kazan: You....
Bastard...!!!
Abumiya: You asked me before,
If I'd like to fight you one on one right?
Hehehe, Sounds good.
Then lets see how you deal with this!
Kazan: Gahgh!!
Abumiya: 'The hell? This all you got?
Well then I guess I won't hold back....
014
Abumiya: And have some fun with you!!
Mitsuru: Kazan-nii!!
Abumiya: Heheh!
All of it doesn't matter!!
Loving people,
Protecting what's important,
You're willing to get your ass kicked in because you have that crap on the line,
But at the same time, it's what's keeping you from touching me!!
Hehehehe!!!
Ranshii's magic has a little flaw in that it cannot work on other magicians!!
But that's what makes it the best power to possess!!
Why you ask?
015
Abumiya: 'Cause no matter what magician I'm up against...
They all have one person that they can't STAND to see get hurt!!!
Hehehehe!!
Aren't you quite the sturdy guy huh?
You still won't go down?
Is this shoddy little church that important to you?!
Kanna: Holy father...!!
Abumiya: Interesting!
No matter how many times I mow you down, you get back up!!
Kanna: Sto---stoppit....
Stop this...!!
Please stop standing back up for us holy father!! You don't have anything to do with us!!
This church isn't your problem, and we're not your kids!!
Why would you let yourself be killed over us!!
Please give up and run away!!
016
Kanna: Because I can't take it....
I don't want to see holy father get hurt anymore...!!
Abumiya: She's cryin' you know....
Hehe...
Here's a good chance right buddy?
She gave you permission to run off with your life.
Kazan: Kanna....
How many times do I gotta repeat myself...?
I'm going to protect you and this church!!!
Kanna: Huh....
Kazan: Keep spoutin' crap like that,
And I'll pop you one! Got it?
017
Kanna: Why do this....
Why go this far for us...!!
Abumiya: Che...
Absurd.
I don't have the patience....
To play with you anymore....
Abumiya: If you want to be stubborn.... Go to hell and do it.
Kanna: HOLY FATHERRRR!!!
018
Shunpei: Hey Hyde!
What do you want to do now?
Maybe we should go to Shindou-senpai's house....it has been a while.
Hyde: Hey there Shun...
You sure? Don't you have homework?
Or is it that you want to head over to his place cause you want test answers?
Shunpei: I'm telling you I wouldn't do something like that...
Thug: I can't believe I was demoted over the phone....
Man I'm done for.
Thug: Can't be helped....because we screwed up, Abumiya-san had to go out and take care of things on his own.
Shunpei: Those guys....
From Yesterday....?!
Thug: Man, Abumiya-san's something though...
He wants that church at all costs.
Thug: It's cause of feng shuei.
It's become really big, so he wants to mow down the church and put a dragon capital in it's place,
But plans have been halted because the people won't leave.
Thug: Plans?
019
Thug: Something about getting his hands on the power of Closer.....I think he said he's have to kill his grandson to obtain immense strength!
Thug: Hahahah.... The hell is that?!
I don't think I'll ever understand what Abumiya-san thinks.
Well anyway I'm sure he's at the church now,
So we should probably head out there....
What are you doing brat?!
You'd better watch where you're walking, or I'll kill ya!!
…..hey,
Y—You...!!
From yesterday...!!
Shunpei: What you just said,
IS IT ALL TRUE?!?
020
Thug: This guy....
He just took three shots....and he's still standing up...?!
A normal guy would have....
been half past dead....!!
Kazan: As long as I'm here....
I won't let you lay a finger on any of them....
The church or the brats...!!
Abumiya: Are you serious?
What the hell is this guy....
That he can still move around like this...?!

ACT 30
Tinplate (Iron power) (2)
002
Kazan: Let's get one thing straight.
Before dinner's ready,
I'm gonna kick your ass!
Shunpei: A Tin plate doll...
No way! Is this guy...
One of the six?!
Kanna: Wh
Hold on Holy father why are you doing this?!
Kazan: Don't hold back on these punks Desmond, we're going at this at full strength.!!
Desmond: I intended that from the beginning Kazan.
Hyde: Anyway, looks like we gotta do this Shun my boy!!
Shunpei: Yeah!
Tatsumi-san, step back!
003
Shunpei: 'Texas Chainsaw'!!!
Kazan: Now it's on!!
Desmond: Kazan!!
Shunpei: Huh?!
A Magician that fights on his own...?!
Kazan: Fights...
Don't have rules!!
Hyde: You ignoring me then punk?!
004
Kazan: My bad, I didn't tell ya...but I've been fighting my whole life.
And I've never lost once!
005
Tatsumi: Hyde-kun!
Shunpei: This is my territory!!
And you aren't allowed in....
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!
Kazan: Hmph!
I didn't think it would be easy to bust through a barrier....
Hyde: You're a little tougher than most humans, I'll give you that!!
But you ain't gonna get away with doing what you want!!
006
Desmond: 'Full metal Reloaded'!!!!
Shunpei: Uwahha!!
Th—this is...!
Springs?!
007
Kazan: Nice save Desmond!!
Desmond: You're reckless as usual Kazan....
Kazan: I don't like counting on your projectiles.
A fight should be mano a mano!
Desmond: Hmph.
Hyde: How are you holding up Shun?
Shunpei: I'm doing okay!!
Hyde: Good, but these guys are quick! We gotta react fast or...
Shunpei: Here they come!!
008
Shunpei: Guh!!
Hyde: Shun!
These springs are big trouble!
You have to find a place to hide for now!!
Shunpei: Got it!!
How about that car!!
009
Shunpei: Gueh!
Gah?!
The Automatic windows....
Started on their own...?!
Tatsumi: Shunpei-kun!!
Hyde: And now it's...
The electric fan?!
This guy...
He's not just using projectiles...
010
Desmond: Anything my springs come in contact with I can move.
That's my magical power....
'Full metal reloaded.'
Shunpei: Ku--- Those two...
They're much different from the guys we've fought up until now...
Their strength is the real deal!!!
011
Shunpei: This is bad...
At this rate....
We're done for...!!
Kanna: Holy father,
You're an asswipe!!
Kazan: OW!
Kazan: Kanna, what the hell are you doing?!
Kanna: Asswipe, asswipe, asswipe, asswipe!!
Kazan: Knock it off Kanna!
Kanna: You're the worst Holy father!!
I hate you, idiot!!
Kazan: What?
012
Kazan: My bad.
I didn't know that you guys had actually saved Kanna.
If I had known that, I wouldn't have picked a fight with you.
Kanna: Sorry...
Kazan: I'm a big frickin' dumbass!!
Sorry man!
Can ya forgive me...!!
I'm beggin ya!!
013
Kazan: Here! A peace offering!
Eat
Eat up I said!
And you can have whatever you want to eat while you're in my house!!
Boy: Kazan-nii is genius when it comes to trouble!
Boy2: How's it feel to be the regret king?!
Kazan: Shut your mouths or I'll shut 'em for ya!
Shunpei: So I take it Kazan-san,
that you're not trying to kill me?
Kazan: Wha?
'The hell you mean?
Don't start talking crap like that in front of the brats.
Shunpei: So...why did you...
Tatsumi: Why push it? He said it was a misunderstanding right?
Hyde: That aside,
Kid: Bear!
Hyde: You sure are looking after a lot of kids that aren't related to you.
Seems like,
You're a pretty decent Holy father huh?
014
Kazan: Ain't a big deal to me.
But I'm no Holy Father!
Tatsumi: What?! Really?!
Kazan: Can't you tell that by looking at me?
Shunpei: Then...why are you doing this Kazan-san?
Kazan: These guys are annoying, they go on calling me the holy father, so I just let 'em.
Though I don't got the cold heart to toss them out, especially after the Jiageya already did it to them once.
(Handwritten- Those guys have no soul!)
Kazan: When I first met 'em, they were all standing around fussin' and cryin.
What did you expect I'd do? Leave 'em?
Hey you brats! Shut the hell up!
If your Holy father aint doin' crap for you,
Then I'm gonna be the guy who takes over for him!!
So get your asses back in the church so I can protect ya!!
015
Shunpei: That's it?
You'd really do all of this for a bunch of kids you have no relation to?
Kazan: I just happened upon a bunch of unlucky brats.
Do I really need to have another reason to help out?
Girl: Look look! I drew you Holy father!
Kazan: How's that me? I ain't that ugly!!
You brats quit fighting!
Boy: Hey Kazan-ni! Let's wrestle!
Shunpei: You're right...
There's no need for another reason..!!
016
Kazan: You're free to stop by whenever!
Next time I'll serve up a pheasant hot pot!
Shunpei: Yeah!
But how about just the hot pot, without the pheasant?
I always associated...
Magicians with being targeted,
And so I thought only bad guys picked up the craft.
But I guess it's true...
It's what's inside that counts.
Tatsumi: You're right.
017
Shunpei: Desmond!
You aren't with the others?
Desmond: Yeah.
I don't do well in noisy situations.
Sorry for...
Hurting you earlier.
Hyde: I don't hold grudges, so keep your apologies.
Desmond: There's a reason,
That Kazan thought you guys were a threat...
It's because the Jiageya's boss....
Happens to be a magician.
He's trying to do everything within his power to bring the church down the the ground....
Well in any case,
That's our problem.
I didn't mean to involve you. Forget everything I just said.
018
(Sign- Abumiya moving office)
???: What?
You didn't kidnap that brat?
Big guy: Thats...
Well some brat with the same mysterious powers as you interrupted us Abumiya-san...!!
Abumiya: Hey I can't quite hear you report.....
move to the left a bit..
Big guy: Y—yeah?
Abumiya: Consider that report your pink slip,
and get yourself out of my sight.
I suppose it's my turn this time.
That church has just seen it's last day standing,
and now Closer's power is in my grip as well.

ACT 29 Tinplate (Iron power.)
002
Tatumi: I can hear the years first cicadas chirping!
Shunpei: Me too!
It's gonna be summer before long.
Tatsumi: Nice work getting through seven years you guys!!
Do your best on that last week!!
Shunpei: I've never heard anyone yell out encouragement to the cicadas...
Hyde: Neither have I.
Tatsumi: I know when the cicadas get to be adults the sound can be a little bit annoying,
But I can't help but get excited! It's like they're going on a journey far away...
The tension just starts to rise!!
Soon it'll be summer vacation, and I'll go to the ocean, then the mountains, maybe launch some fireworks...
And then....
003 Tatsumi: S—Sorry...
I forgot about your situation Shunpei-kun....
Shunpei: Nah, it's not a big deal.
I'm planning on taking my peaceful days back any way I can,
And once I do, I'll join in on the fun with everyone!
Tatsumi: Now that I think of it,
This is the first time I've really walked and talked with you Shunpei-kun.
I know in the past I thought you were a weak little crybaby that needed someone to save him all the time!!
Shunpei: Hey! You don't need to bring that up!!
Hyde: Gehahahahah!!
Tatsumi: But you know, now that I've gotten to know you better,
I really like hanging out with you.
I only wish I had said something sooner....
What is it Shunpei-kun?!
004
Big guy: What the hell do you think you're doing pipsqueak?!
Quit struggling and get in the car!!
Little girl: Someone help me please!!
I don't want this lolicon loving idiot to take me away!!
Shunpei: Hey you guys! What are you doing!
You let her go right now!!
005
Big guy: You talk big, but you're just a brat too!!
Hyde: Want me to take care of 'em?
Shunpei: Hyde you can't move around in public,
So I'll take care of this alone!
Big guy: Seems like your parents didn't teach you how to be polite.
Being the nice guy I am though, I'll be glad to show you the ropes kid.
By pounding them into you!!
Shunpei: 'Catch'!!
Big guy: Wha—What the...
Where'd all the strength in my punch go?!
Shunpei: And....
006
Shunpei: 'Release'!!
Big guy: UGHAAH!!!
Shades: Wha---
Why---
You little brat!!
Tatsumi: Shunpei-kun!!
Hyde: Che!!
007
(Handwritten by girl- Whoaaaa)
008
Hyde: You gotta keep an eye out for those guys who come from behind Shun!
Shunpei: Could you PLEASE learn how to hold back?
Tatsumi: Alright!
That should be all of them.
Here you go! Your eggs got cracked, but everything else seems to be fine!
Girl: You guys are a little nosy, but thanks for helping me gather everything!
Tatsumi: I wonder who taught you how to talk that way?
Girl: Thanks for helping me out mister!
My name is Kanna!
009
Shunpei: I'm Shunpei!
Tatsumi: I'm Tatsumi!
Pleasure to meet you Kanna-chan!
Since we're not doing anything, maybe we could accompany Kanna-chan home?
Shunpei: Sounds good.
Kanna: Will you really?!
Well then I'll make you a good lunch for saving me back there! You want something to eat?
Shunpei: That's okay....
Kanna: It's not a big deal! After all Holy father's always saying repay kindness in the kitchen!
Shunpei: Holy father?
Kanna: Don't worry about that! Just follow me!!
Shunpei: But hey....
Can you tell me why those two guys were messing with you?
They looked like really bad news....
010
Kanna: Those idiots,
They're with Jiageya-san...
Shunpei: Jiageya?
Kanna: The truth is, that I don't have a mommy or daddy, So the holy father of our church in this city took all of us kids in and gave us a home.
However a month or so ago, suddenly those ratfaced idiots showed up and started demanding stuff. They want us to leave the property, but we refuse to.
I'm not too sure of everything....
But they really want the land we're on, with our without our permission.
I know that those guys from earlier were probably sent by him,
since he doesn't mind using people as hostages!
Tatsumi: Someone who would pick a fight with children has no honor!
Shunpei: Yeah.
And I won't forgive him!!
011
Kanna: But as long as the Holy father is there, we're fine!
Tatsumi: What kind of person is the holy father?
Kanna: He's really a gentle person,
He's always wearing an apron with a cute lion on it,
and he's really good at cooking.
And the cheese soufflé that he makes is so tasty,
that I start drooling when I think about it!
Oh and he's really good at sowing!
See this flower here? Holy father's the one who made it!
He's always placing us before himself and anything else,
And he's been protecting us from those Jiageya creeps for the longest time.
If the Holy father weren't' around, I'm sure the church would have been destroyed already.
And we'd have no where else to call home....
...that's why...
012
Kanna: I really love the Holy father!
And I hope that he doesn't go anywhere!
Shunpei: This Holy father...
He seems like an angelic guide from the heavens.
Kanna: We're here at last!
This is our house!
013
Shunpei: There's...a lot of trash....
Kanna: It's all the Jiageya's fault!
Since we wouldn't leave when they asked us to, they started dumping trash to make us leave...
Anyway let's hurry!
The church is right ahead!!
???: Yo! Kanna!
Kanna: Ah! I'm back Holy father!
014
Holy Father: Ain't you a bit late?
015
Kanna: Where'd you get that boar from?
Holy Father: This guy? He was hanging out near the lower mountains.
Tonight we're gonna have a pork hot pot.
Kanna: Really!? Yay!!
Shunpei: THAT's the holy father?
Kanna: More like, what are you gonna add to the hot pot Holy father?
Tatsumi: Talk about the image being different from reality.... 016
Holy Father: And?
Who the hell are they?
Kanna: This is Shunpei-niichan and Tatsumi nee-chan!
When I was going shopping, the Jiageya tried to attack me,
but the two of them....
Holy father: Kanna!
Get away from those two now!
Kanna: What?!
017
Holy Father: You..
You're a magician ain't ya?
Shunpei: Wha..?!
Holy Father: You've got some balls...
Coming all the way out to see me...
Hope that means you're ready for this!
Kanna: Wh--
What are you doing Holy father?!
Holy Father: Desmond!
018
Desmond: You rang?
Kazan.
Kazan: Yeah.
Shunpei: A Tin plate doll....
Wait...this guy.... He's one of the Six?!
Kazan: Let's get somethin' straight.
Before dinner's ready...
I'm gonna kick your ass!!

Teacher: Right now....
I'm looking at a pathetic bunch of students....!
Before I hand back your end of semester papers,
There are a few things I want to discuss with you...
Just what on EARTH is with these test scores?!
Did you even try!!
It's like you sleptwalk through these!!
Especially you three!!!
Shunpei: Ueeeeh!!
{Afro was disturbing people, so she was asked to sit in the back row.}
004
Teacher: Uryuu!
Tatsumi: Y—Yes sir!
Teacher: Do you think any college will accept you with grades like these?!
You might have great attendance to after school clubs, but how about paying more attention to the school before them?!
Ana!!
I know it's only been a few days since you came to Japan, and so you're not so used to things,
but what were you thinking writing this?!
(Handwritten Answer: I dunno. Answer: You think about it.)
Teacher: Are you ignoring your instructor~!!!
Ana: Ya~wn.
Teacher: And you Closer!!
I know you're incapable of getting answers right anyway....
BUT IS THIS A SIX?!
IS IT?!?!?!!?
005
Teacher: For you to be so TERRIBLE at writing your numbers,
I wonder what on earth you've been doing these thirteen years you've been alive?!
(Sfx- Hahaahahaahah! Are you serious?!)
Shunpei: Well that's yanno...
Um...I wasn't fully awake that day...
Teacher: You're pathetic....just pathetic...
I haven't seen such tomfoolery since I started teaching here...
Since that's how it is....
I guess we'll need to have an 'emergency' test for you tomorrow!
To measure your conduct up until now.
If you score anything under thirty points on this test,
You'll be seeing my face every day over summer break as I drill education into you!!
(Sfx- WHAAAAAAT?!)
Teacher: Shut it!
I'll do it! I'm serious!!
I don't accept patheticness!!
Shunpei: E—Extra lessons...
006
Shunpei: Wh—wh-what are we gonna doooo?!
We can't possibly pull that off!!
Tatsumi: To pull a test out of our heads by tomorrow is impossible!
Ana: Whatcha break'n into a sweat fer?
Is that extra lesson 'thing so bad for yall?
Tatsumi: What are you talking about?!
We're going to lose or precious summer vacation if we fail!!
That is the worst case scenario!! It's almost as bad as being held over a pack of hungry sharks in the middle of the ocean with meat strapped all around you for days and nights on end! It's the absolute worse thing that could possibly happen to you!!
Ana: That do sound bad....
Shunpei: If that's the case....
We've got to rely on 'his' strength for this!
Tatsumi: Yeah!
Both: Sh---
SHINDOU-SENPAI!!!
007
Shindou: Hahaha..
Well if that's all you need,
I'll be glad to offer any help I can!
I may not look it, but give or take some deviation; I'm out doing 100 of this country's students!
Tatsumi: Give or take? He's really out doing 100 students...?
{Give or take, he's doing better than 100 students.}
Ana: Ya'll got a nice pad up 'n here though...
Ah wonda if you could fit 500 people in dis place?
Mekki: It's so soft!!
Ana: Ya serious? We can shoot pool 'ere?
Aaight! Hyde! Let's have a 'bout!
Hyde: Who needs that stick?
My manly arms do the trick just fine!!
Tatsumi: WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR?!
Shunpei: I know it's a surprise visit, but we don't have much time!
So please help us out quickly!!
008
Mekki: If that's the case, how about I accompany your studying with some music!
I'll put my all into cheering you guys on!!
All: I can't concentrate!!
Mekki: Sniffle hic-hic.....
009
{And so you substitute the X here.}
{Ah I get it!}
{Wow that's easy!}
Tatsumi: It's almost 7!
I think it's on today!!
Crap!!
Takakura Jin-sama's 'Number one man under the heavens' is about to start!!
Shindou-senpai! Please!!
Let me get an hour break to watch this show!!
Shindou: I don't mind, but I thought you had to study for this test that takes place tomorrow?
Tatsumi: Takakura Jin-sama is my body, blood, bones, soul and mind!
If I miss a minute of Jin-sama, Even if it's the sun I won't forgive it!!
I can't allow myself to miss one minute of the hotblooded action!!
010
Tatsumi: I'm sorry Shindou-senpai!
I need to take a minute off!!
Shindou: Well how about we all take a small break then?
Shunpei: Sounds good!
Ana: Break time!!!
(Handwritten- Man's Chivalry)
Jin: I'm gonna show you punks...
That hell's only lukewarm!!
(Handwritten- Hit 'em there!!)
(Sfx- Dokatsu bikiaaa 'smack! Thud!')
Tatsumi: Oh Jin-sama...!!
You were just as awesome today as you always are...!
Tomiko: This drama always brings tears to my eyes..
(Handwritten- Dometa's Summer Coming up next!_
Ana: Why don't we give this a watch?
Shunpei: Uh...but...
Tatsumi: Why not? We could use a little bit of free time!
011
???: Eugene..
(TN- lol Hyde even looks manly when he's trying not to cry.)
Ana: Ah! Now this program 'ere's right fine stuff!
We oughtta watch this one too!
(Handwritten- The stupid fist of love.)
(Handwritten- Be more serious will ya!!)
Shindou: I've been looking forward to this match!
(Handwritten- Pipa Cup- Final round match)
012
(Handwritten- OH NOOOOOOOO....)
Tatsumi: Geez! It's already this late!! Shunpei: It was YOUR idea to watch TV in the first palce!
Ana: Might as well simmer down since it's this late!!
Pacqua: Ah...hello?
Shunpei: Pacqua-san?!
Pacqua: Sorry to bother you so late...
You all were so busy studying with Shindou-san, that you didn't hear me...so I just let myself in...
013
Pacqua: In any case, I made some snacks for you to eat!
Just in case you got hungry tonight!
Hyde: Now ain't that handy!
Shunpei: Thanks a million Pacqua-san!
Pacqua: It's what people eat late night in Japan! Onigiri!
Ana: Tain't too bad! It'll at least fill me up right good!!
Shunpei: Time to eat!!
Tatsumi: They're delicious!
Shindou: Yes! Exquisite!
Mekki: They're scary good!!
Pacqua: Really?
I'm so glad that I could be useful to everyone!!
Shunpei: But hold on...
I feel kind of weird...
Tatsumi: Suddenly I really want to take a nap...
Pacqua: ...E—Everyone?!
014
Pacqua: Ah..um...I don't know how to say this...
But it looks like I may have mixed in some 'sleepy cedar pollen' when I made the food..
I guess I didn't pay attention and made a mistake....
I'm sorry! Really sorry!
So very sorry! Sorry!!
I'm sorry that I was even born!!!
Shunpei: In the end, we only got a single hour of studying in all night...
Tatsumi: So long Summer vacation...
No wayy...
I'm gonna be eaten by sharks....
Pacqua: Aah...It was all my fault!! If I weren't here...
015
Pacqua: Shindou-san...are all of these...
'Devices' ?
Shindou: Yes.
My mother had an eye for them you see...she was very into occult divination, so she collected these.
Pacqua: Y—You have this?!
The 'Toyotomi mino shisshakan!'
(TN- Okay....it's like...quite a few kanji put together that don't make sense with one another. I could halfass a meaning, but Japanese sounds better.)
Mekki: What's that?
Pacqua: I've heard it's Shoutoku Taishi's most valuable 'device',
it's said it's what granted him his 'cleverness'.
Shoutoku Taishi was said to have the cleverness of ten scholars! And it's said he used this cleverness tool to get it.
With it, a person could keep all of their memories without having to worry about ever losing them.
016
Ana: If ya'll had somethin' like this, we coulda used it!
Pacqua: Ah!
Be careful! That device 'cleverness' is very delicate!
If you are too rough with it the consequences could be....
Ana: Who cares 'bout that!
Cleverness!!
Ooooaaaahhhhhh!!
Th—This is..
All dem problems Ah wasn't gettin* before...
Ah get dem now! And even more than that....!!
Wit dis, Ah can get back all mah lost time!!
Once ah'm done ya'll can give dis thing a swing ya hear?
Ain't no point in studyin' yasself to an early grave wit this thing!
Shunpei: Huh?
Y—Yeah....
Tatsumi-san, I'm sorry but,
I guess we don't have any choice but to take extra lessons!
(Handwritten- Maybe I should use that magical device too....)
017
Hyde: You sure that's what you want Shun my boy?
Shunpei: Huh?
Hyde: It's more meaningful to learn this stuff when you put effort into it.
Without that, there's no point in doing anything.
If even after you put effort it doesn't work out,
even if you gotta do those extra lessons in the end....
You'll know you gave it your all....doesn't that sit better with you?
Shunpei: As usual...
Hyde, you make a good point...
018
Shunpei: We've still got some time before school starts,
Why not just put our all into studying?
Ana: Fine then. Ya'll be the good kids.
Teacher: Kosai-sensei....
Fell ill with a sickness today and won't be in.
So he's postponed the date for your exams.
(Handwritten- YAYYYYYY!! HELL YEAHH!!!)
Shunpei: We---We're
We've been saved....
Tatsumi: Thank god....
Shunpei: This time though,
I'm gonna go home and study my butt off!
{And at that time, Ana who had abused the device found out the hard way,}
{The side effect was becoming an idiot for a while.}
Pacqua: I tried to tell you~~

ACT 27 Family

Hyde: A dream huh….
ACT 27 Family
003
Shunpei: Whaaaaa!!
Hyde!!
Did you finish all of the Honey again?!
Hyde: Eh?
Yeah I guess.
Shunpei: Geez!!
You could have left me at least a little bit!! It’s completely empty!!!
Now what will I eat my pancakes with!?
Hyde: There’s some sauce and blue seaweed….how about that?
Shunpei: That would be great if I were grilling something….
But there doesn’t seem to be anything else…
(Handwritten- how much do you eat?!)
Hyde: Take a look around Shun, you’ll find something.
Taking as much as one likes is one of the many rights of men---
004
Shunpei: Aaaah!!
What the heck are you doing Hyde?!
Hyde: Ah…My bad.
Shunpei: Be more careful!!
Hyde: This morning’s dream…maybe it’s a sign….
That I don’t have much time left…
Marco…
Shunpei: You say something Hyde?
Hyde: Nah…
I didn’t say a word.
005
{70 years ago….}
Guy: All right you punks!
Break it up!
We’re gonna be using this spot from now on.
And we damn sure don’t want any kids here!
???: Whaat?
But, but we were playing here first…
Guy: Hey Marco!
Who the bloody hell gave you permission to talk?!
006
Marco: EEEEEEK!! A thousand pardons sir!!
I meant nothing by my outburst!! I’m going to head home now!!
Guy: Gahahahah Very well then! Get moving!
Boy: I know it hurts, but we’d better go…
I know we were in dire straights, but to apologize Marko…?
Marco: I know, but I was scared….
Person: I heard that they’ve changed position to the outskirts of town…
Person2: My word…
It seems war is advancing one step at a time,
I surely hope that our little city won’t too be thrust into danger’s pawns….
I do as well.
007
???: But dearest!
Must it be so?
???: Yes dear, It would seem that the next troops deployed will be on the frontal lines..
I’m afraid there’s a chance I may not return…
That’s why I’m begging you and Marco to go to the countryside…
Marco!!
Marco: Just now, was what you said the truth?
???: Yes..
Marco: You mustn’t!
Please father, don’t go!!
008
Father: ….Honestly I wish I didn’t have to go to war.
If possible, I wish that everyone could live in peace with each other…and hatred had no place in this world.
But you know…
Daddy’s got important people he must protect.
That would be you, my beloved ‘family’.
And if fighting is the only way to protect you…
Then I will push aside my personal feelings and fight.
That’s why you mustn’t be sad…
Persevere, for me…please?
Oh yes!
Marco, you said you wanted a little brother right?
I know it’s not exactly the same but…
009
Father: This little fellow’s name is Hyde.
Marco: Hyde….
Father: You are now the oldest son of this household.
While Daddy’s away, you must protect Hyde and your mother.
And with that, I must take my leave.
010
Marco: Return that at once! It’s my ball!!
Guy: Quiet!!
I happen to like this ball! So I’ll be taking it for myself!
Huh?
What’s that there Marco!
And you call yourself a man! While strutting about with this stuffed bear!
Marco: Ah!!
Stop this!!
Guy: Oh
My deepest apologies!
I was walking and didn’t notice him!
Uwaaaah!!
What the bloody hell are you doing?!!
011
Guy: Let go!
Let go I say!!
Ow it hurts!!
I understand!!
I’m apologizing! So let go!
Marco: I’m sorry Hyde…
It hurt didn’t it?
But I won’t stand for it ever again okay?
I promised I’d protect you Hyde, and I will.
012
Man: An air raid!!
Quickly! Find your way into an air raid shelter!!
Mom: Marco! Come quickly!!
Marco: Hyde!!
Mom: Marco!!
Marco: Hyde!!
013
Marco: I’m terribly sorry for forgetting you Hyde..!!
Now let us go quickly to where mother is!!
Gyahh!!
Oww….
The exit is…
014
Marco: No…way…
Hyde…
You’re a stuffed bear…
So falling from the third floor shouldn’t be a problem right…?
That’s why even if it’s just you,
You have to run away…
I’m the oldest son so…
015
Marco: I have to…
Stay and…
Protect our family!!
Goodbye… Hyde!
016
{And time flowed by, until six years before now…}
{A certain city’s Unknown Bazaar…}
???: Knock knock.
???: Oh it’s you.
???: How’s business?
???: Can’t complain.
???: What’s this?
???: Oh that thing?
I found it in a pile of garbage from the era of the great war.
It’s been through a lot, but the condition’s pretty decent…so I thought I could sell it.
However, no one seems interested in buying him.
If you want, I guess I could just give him to you.
017
???: I see…
You have..
Someone you wanted to protect…
Well if you’d like…
I could task you with protecting something for me.
They’re precious family you know…
Alishid: Would you be able to…
Safeguard my boy Shun?
018
Hyde: Out of the six that were out for Shun’s life,
There’s only one left…
And even though my magical power is limited…
I won’t let you down old man…
I’ll see to it I keep our promise..!!

I think I'll do a fourth! (Might as well, it's the last chapter on MH.) Scantlators! You're on your own raw wise! :-P (Though maybe I might translate from my secret stash? Hehehehehe.....)
Shunpei: The method for getting Closer’s power
Has nothing to do with my feet,
That is, you’d have to take my life in order to claim it for yourself.
But Ana-san, I don’t think…
You’re the kind of person to kill me for that reason.
Ana: Now what…
Do Ah do about this…?

Ana: Re…ggae?

It’s from the country known as Jamaica,
Music born from resistance donncha know!!
007
???: Girlie, you’re the same, I can see it! When people wanna hurt you,
You gotta stand up against them, just like the music.
(Handwritten bubbles: Ain’t that reggae? Sounds nice!)
???: This is the Rhythm of people with strength,
And a message that drives itself into people’s thoughts and shakes them
But that’s for all music girlie! It’ll bring up the courage in ya!
Ya hear it Girlie?
The Reggae gods are speaking to you,
They say ‘don’t give up’!

I look forward to your revenge!
Ana: Mekki, we out.
(Handwritten- Planned replacement.)
Mekki: Going? But where to?
Ana: Ah’ve decided…
We’re gonna go and take…
Closer’s life.
Mekki: Fo…
For reals?!
Wait a second Boss lady!!
Ana: Found ‘em!
Mekki: Boss lady!
We’ve got to be wrong about this!!
012
Mekki: Moreover I,
Agree with what Closer-han was talking about!!
We gotta do this some other way! I don’t wanna fight!!
Come on Boss lady! We’ve got to be cool and think of something else!
Boss lady!!
013
014
Shunpei: Ana-san!!
Hyde: I figured as much, now that you know the truth, you’re coming to to try and assassinate Shun huh?
Hyde: Well this time, I’m not gonna play around with you clowns….
Shunpei: Hold on!!
Wait a sec Hyde!!
Ana: Ah…
Ah lost a person important ta me, and I wanted to find tha guy who did it,
So Ah said I’d do anything to get stronga….
But yanno…
Ah keep saying I’m gonna kill ya if ah got to…
But when Ah see ya like this, Ah realize ya’ll’s the same as me….
Yanno…
Ah really don’t wanna cause no one else no pain, cause ah know that too well.
So ah can’t…
Do somethin’ like that….
016
Ana: Don’t get me wrong…
Ah ain’t tryin’ to get all buddy buddy~
It’s…
Ah can’t think of any way to grill ya organs…
So that they’ll taste good or something like that!!
So then…
Ah ain’t gonna be comin after ya for Closer’s power no more.
Our dance is done!
Shunpei: Thanks Ana-san.
017
Shunpei: It’s really a big help…
That you’re not my enemy.
Ana: Mah bad….
Ah know I’ve been annoyin ya…
Hyde: Don’t sweat it..
It’s the past now.
Tatsumi: Well then, since we’re in the same class,

Shunpei: Sounds fun!
Lets do it Ana-san!
Ana: Aaight, Ah don’t mind goin’ wit ya…
But Ah only sing reggae!
018
Mekki: Could it be that Closer-san…
Knew Boss lady wouldn’t do this from the beginning?
I wonder…
Maybe he knows her better than she knows herself!
Ana: Well if we goin, how bout Closer spots us for today?
Shunpei: Whaaat?!

ACT 25 Carnival 3
{-Cappella dolls are…- In Mexico from November 1st to the second, the spirits are revered in a holiday known as ‘The day of the dead.’ In which festivals are held. At this time bold showings of Cappella dolls (Especially those of Skeletons) are hung, and sweets are eaten, as people dance and sing at the bright and colorful festivals for the dead. Mexicans believe that through this custom, that the dead could live again as their friends.}
002
Ana: Mekki! We ‘bout to get out the big guns dis time!!
Mekki: Oh yeah!!
Hyde: Here they come Shun!!
Shunpei: Yeah!!
Ana: Aiight, looks like we gonna need a good beat for this one!!
Ya’ll best make way for the Reggae god Bob Marley’s Latin, rhytim,
Cause ah’s about to light it up!!
003
Shunpei: This is…
Static Electricity?
The energy’s…
Quivering?!
Ana: Ya’ll look real close!!!
This ‘control’ powa’s the best it gets!!
004
Ana: Repenze Aztec!!
005
Ana: GR Tres!!
Shunpei: The sky?!!
Ana: GR Tres is a powa that can take tha weatha!
Mekki can dance around, and bring down tha lightening!
Ah’s got the powa to scatter it down where ah wanna!!
Tatsumi: Wha...What’s this?!
006
Student: H..hey! Look outside! Something strange is going on!!
I watched the weather, and it’s supposed to be sunny for the whole day!!
Moreover, the birds are losing control and falling out of the sky!!
What the hell is going on?!
This ain’t normal!!
Shindou: Tomiko’s hair!!
Tomiko: It has suddenly started standing up on its own.
Shindou: Moreover, what’s this?
It feels like someone’s wielding some awesome magical power!!
Could it be….
Closer-kun and Hyde are…?!
008
Tatsumi: Shunpei-kun!!
Shunpei: Tatsumi-san!!
Shindou-Senpai!!
Tatsumi: The sky!!
Shindou: That magician….
What kind of magical strength is this..!!
You have to get away Closer-kun!!
You don’t stand a chance if you are hit by an attack of that magnitude!!
Ana: Hahahahah!!!
009
Ana: Ya’lls a bit too late for that!!
Ya’ll ‘bout to see,
What happens when Ah get serious!!
Hear tha screams that sound like a roar of thunda together,
And in that second, the darkness gathers….
010
Ana: Hold up a sec,
It’s comin.
011
Shunpei: Um…
That magic of yours, while cool and all….
It’s long activation time….
Kind of takes away the effect doesn’t it?
Ana: Ay! Whatcha doin’?
Lemmie go!
Aah!!
013
Shunpei: Without your music,
You can’t use magic anymore!
Mekki: You guys are the worst!!
How about you think of other people’s feelings?!
If you had let me dance for just a little bit longer it w ould have ben done!!
Hyde: Shut your noise hole!!
Ana and Mekki: GYAAAAAAAH!!
Shunpei: So even at the end of all this…
Whether they’re strong or weak…
Only the two of them would really ever know….
014
Hyde: And?
What do you want to do with the two of them Shun?
Ana: Ya wastin’ ya time!!
Ah don’t care if ya beat me up or nothin’! I’m gettin’ Closer’s power no matta what it takes!!
Hyde: So start talking…
Or I’m gonna split the two of ya into four, right here and now.
Mekki: EEEEP!!!
Don’t hurt me Hyde-han!!
It’s not right to kill living things!!
Don’t you think it’s about time to tell them the truth boss lady….?
Ana: And don’t ya ever get sick of tryin’ to save ya own hide?!
Mekki: GYAAAH!!
Tatsumi: Watching this really makes you feel bad for Mekki, since he’s always getting hit…poor thing…
015
Shindou: It seems that if we leave the two of them alone,
That they’ll probably launch attacks against Closer-kun twenty four-seven….and all for his toenails.
But I wonder why?
Tatsumi: Beats me…
Hyde: Shun?
Shunpei: Anna-san, Mekki.
Ana: What?
Shunpei: As I was trying to say before, you guys misunderstand something.
The method of getting the power of Closer has nothing to do with my feet..
Instead if you want it you’ll have to take something else….
That is…
You’d have to take my life in order to claim it for yourself.
Ana: Haaah?!
016
Tatsumi: W—Wait a second Shunpei-kun!! What are you doing?!
Shindou: Why would you tell them the truth about that….!!
Shunpei: It wouldn’t be right for them to be in the dark about the truth.
So I want to make everything explicitly clear to them.
Ana: If that’s the truth….
Are ya, sayin’ that all the magicians ‘round tha world are tryin’ to kil ya?!
Shunpei: Yep.
You’re correct.
In order to get Closer’s powers you would have to travel here and…
Kill me Ana san; That’s the only way to do it.
Shunpei: But I don’t think you’re the kind of person to do that….
So now that you know the truth, please stop this.
I’d like it better if we could talk things over…
And at that time..
017
Shunpei: Not have to fight.
Mekki: What’ll we do Boss lady?!
Who knew we’d have to kill Closer in order to get the power?
Just thinking about it has me in a cold sweat!!
Sure we have to beat that guy, but killing people for Closer’s power is going to ofar! Let’s give up on it!!
Ana: Fool!
‘Course we can’t do that!!
Ah already told myself to beat that magician…
Ah’d do whatever it takes to get stronger!
Mekki: But..
We can’t kill Closer-han for that…
Ana: I ain’t gonna repeat the same thing!! Now what do Ah…

Ana: ‘Sup.
ACT 24 Carnival 2
002
Students: Look at it any way you want….
But she CAN’T be a middle school student!!
Teacher: Now you kids make sure to become good friends.
Student: She looks like she’s at least 180 CM!
Student2: Dude, her afro’s got to at least be two of those meters!
Moreover, where’s her uniform?!
Shunpei: It…It looks like…
She’s really freaking everyone out huh…?
Teacher: Now Ana-san…your seat is----
He—Hey!

003
Ana: Ya’ should ‘now Why Ahm here right?

004
Ana: Now ya’ll bess not get the wrong idea or nothin’! Yesterday we screwed up,
But today ain’t gonna go down that way! So ya’ll best get ready!
Today ahm’ gonna get your toenails for shure!
And then tha power of tha magic king is gonna be all mine!!
Hyde: For cryin’ out loud. I’m beginning to lose my patience with this one.
Hey Shun,
How about we quit beating around the bush and tell her the truth about your power?
Shunpei: N—No way Hyde!!
Listen, if she finds out that she’s wrong about getting the power,
She’s bound to fly off the handle and try to kill me for sure!!!
Hyde: So just how many times are we gonna have to fight them?
Shunpei: I know!!
How about we just let them have my toenails then?
Maybe she’ll be so grateful that she’ll go home without a fight!
Hyde: That’s all well and good…
But you know Shun my boy…
005
Hyde: Do you think she’s gonna be happy if she…
Has to find out the truth on her own?
{Ya straight? Ah can have it?!}
{Yaaay!!}
{Aiight! Now Ah’s got Closer’s power!}
{Bottoms up Boss lady!!}
{Nothin’s happenin….?}
{Boss lady! We messed up!}
{It’s not his toenails, it’s his life we have to take!}
{Then his toenails ain’t gonna do nothin’?!}

Hyde: Hey shun?
Shunpei: What is it Hyde?
Hyde: These annoying clowns….
010
Hyde: How about I SLICE them into sugar cubes,
And when I’m done with that we serve them with some tea?
Sound good?
Shunpei: Whoa…even the normally cool Hyde is…
Getting pissed off!!
Y…Yeah.
But let’s not dismember them too much,
Try to rein yourself in a bit!!
Ana: Hahah!
Aiight! Don’t get too upset now! Ah’s still got plenty for ya!!
Here’s the real Carnival!!
Lets change tha rhythem!
Repenze Aztec!
011
Mekki: GR Dos!
Shunpei: Hyde?!
Ana: Ya’ll don’t listen do ya? Ah said Mekki can control small creatures right?
For ‘xample…
Controllin’ tha headmasta, so I could get a letta of recommendation up in here?
That was a piece of cake!!
Hyde: My body…on it’s own…
012
Shunpei: H—Hyde?!
Ana: GR Dos lets Mekki control his enemies…
Like dere his own reflection in a mirror!
Closer!
Yanno what that means?

Ana: Ah…
Hyde: Looks like I’m calling the shots for myself again.
Shunpei: I’m glad to hear it.

Mekki: Gyaaaaah!! Are you trying to kill me Boss lady?!
Shunpei: Um….about that…
If it’s fine by you,
I’d like to stop this.
Ana: Say what?
Shunpei: Listen Ana-san, you don’t seem to be a bad person,
So I wanted to come clean about something,
Since you seem to have misunderstood things a bit….
I hope once the truth’s out,
That you’ll understand why there’s no point to continue fighting.
Ana: Closer…
Do ya think this is some kinda game?
That ah came out here ta play with ya?
Shunpei: No! Not that!
It’s not like that…
Ana: Then…
Ya should know that no matter what….
Ah gotta have Closer’s power…
‘Cause with out it, ah can’t kill a certain magician.
Shunpei: Huh?
Ana: Someone who meant the world to me was killed.
And even if Ah die, Ah gotta kill the guy who did it.
But ah ain’t got the strength to do it alone…
That’s why Ah decided to get me Closer’s power…I ain’t no good without it.
017
Ana: So ‘cause of that..
Ah gotta get ya toenails and drink ‘em up!!
Shunpei: I’m telling you…
That’s not right….
Ana: Ya better get straigtened up Closer..
‘Cause Ahm coming for real this time.

Stewardess: Ma’am!!
Ma’am!!
(Sfx- Snooore)
Stewardess: We’ve landed on at the airport and everyone’s disembarked.
Could you please follow suit….
Act 23: Carnival (1)
???: Hah?
‘bout time I guess then….
Ya’ll shoulda….
Came and got me up soona.
(TN- She’s got a noticeable Osaka dialect, and this is usually how it’s rendered in American versions of manga and anime.)
002
???: Damn that’s pretty fine George!!
That color, and that shape….it’s the real deal,
Ain’t no one gonna be able to beat a ‘fro like that!!
George: Who you tellin’?
Ain’t no one around that can touch this…
Sheeet, you could hop the globe….
And you won’t find no one….
George: Ay!
Where your eyes at….?!?!
???: Git lost. Ya’ll ain’t got no business walkin’ where grown folks are headin’.
???: Dude…right there…
George.
???: So this is Japan….
Now ain’t this the busy little country?
003
???: Right fine place to have me a carnival.
Act 23: Carnival (1)
(TN- Michiko to Hatchin references start here! And if you aren’t watching that anime, you’re missing out on a lot!)
004
Shunpei: ‘Se’!
Hyde: ‘Seppuku’!!
Shunpei: Okay now ‘I’!
Hyde: ‘Ibushi Gin!’
Shunpei: Okay now ‘Mu’?
Hyde: ‘Muhou matsu!’
Shunpei: ‘Bu’!
Hyde: ‘Bushi ha kuwanedo takayouji!’
Shunpei: Hey Hyde….
Hyde: Yeah?
Shunpei: This game you thought up…’Manly fill the blank’….
It’s not very interesting is it?
Besides you always get to answer the questions…..
Hyde: Fine then Shun my boy, next it’s your turn.
‘Ha’!
Shunpei: Uuuuuh…
‘Ha’ ‘Ha’ ‘Ha’…
‘Hassuru’?
(TN- They’re basically thinking of the first word that comes to mind after given a certain letter. Scantlators can flip it to English words if it makes more sense, but I didn’t feel like trying to convert it:-P BTW, Seppuku- Disembowelment, Ibushi Gin- Oxidized Silver, Muhou matsu- Outrageous pine, and Bushi ha kuwanedo takayouji- A warrior uses a toothpick leisurely after eating. Shunpei’s Hassuru could be the Japanese pronunciation of ‘Hustle’. HASSURU.)
005
Hyde: That’s no good.
Besides, a man’s gotta have a good vocabulary to match his overall manliness.
Shunpei: Whaat? Are you serious?
But I thought ‘Hassuru’ was a good one!
???: AAAH!!!
Ain’t you Closer Shunpei?!?!
Shunpei: Wha?
???: Old man!
Lemmie down here!
Ah didn’t expect ta find ya so quickly.
But that’s good to yanno? Ya’ll ready for me?!
006
???: Tha name’s Ana Maria Monsalbaju!!
Ah don’t think I gotta explain why ah I came here?!
Yah oughta give up now Closer Shunpei!!
Shunpei: Could this lady be….

Cab driver: Miss, I’m going to need my fare!
Ana: N?

Shunpei: Huh?!

Cab driver: Ummm…

Cab Driver: 2560 yen please.
Ana: Hold up dere old man!
Stop ya meter! Ah I saw it go up!!
Cab driver: You say that but…
Ana: Ah ain’t made of money!
Ya’ll should know travelin’ out to ya country weren’t cheap no how!!
(Box- And so 2 minutes passed.)
Ana: Hol up, Ah gots me a coupon! You gotta take it!
Cab driver: Weeeellll, that depends on what the company says.
(Box- Followed by another 5 minutes.)
Ana: Ah didn’t know yous a Osaka-fan old man!

Cab driver: Ahahahahah!!
Ana: Yall come back now ya hear?!
Sorry ta keep ya waitin’.
Shunpei: Uh…okay.

Really our enemy?
008
Hyde: ---now ain’t this something.
Coming at us in the midday, right smack dab in town,
And revealing yourself as a magician right off the bat,
Let’s not even forget that this one’s a woman too!
Ana: Ah hate usin’ dirty tricks like attackin’ from behind…
And ah ain’t the type to hide nothin’.
Besides…
Ah wouldn’t ‘ave come lookin’
If ah thought ah might lose to ya’ll!!
Shunpei: Wow….she seems pretty familiar Hyde,
What with that baseless self confidence…
Hyde: You aren’t trying to compare us are you? Shun my boy.
Ana: Now ah’m right proud to see ya Closer Shunpei.
Ah got into this whole magic thing just for this moment!
Now, why don’t yall just give up nice and easy for me?
Shunpei: Crap!!
In the end, it doesn’t change the fact that she wants me dead!!
009
Ana: All ah gotta do is get one of ya toenails,
and once ah drink it, ah got me the power of tha magical king!!
Shunpei: …whe….
010
Shunpei: WHERE DID SHE HEAR A STUPID RUMOR LIKE THAT ONE?!
Ana: Now ah know ya’ll real embarrassed-like to ‘ere that…
But ya know, ah really need ya’lls magical power. So get ready ya’ll!
We can talk ‘bout the details latah!
I just want ya’ll’s power! Hand it ovah!
Shunpei: Well that’s not the problem here….
Ana: ‘Guess we gotta make some noise eh!!
Mekki! Time for ya to shine!!
Mekki: Hoyaaaha!!
011
Mekki: Nice to meetcha!!
My name’s Shaka-shaka Mekki!!
Drop and dance to the lovely lovely mambo!!
With the singing and dancing sunlight caravella doll!!
MAMBO!!!
012
Mekki: Owwie! That hurts!!
Why’d you do that boss-lady?!
Ana: Ah don’t like repeatin’ myself!
We ain’t doin nuttin but reggae!
We ain’t wastin’ time with no damn Latin music.
Mekki: But I haven’t even announced the next mambo!
Come on boss lady, at least grant me that!
I’ve got the perfect Latin sound….
And you’re killing it boss lady…!!
Shunpei: Somehow, I’m really not in the mood to do this….are you Hyde?
Hyde: They’re beginning to get on my bad side!!
Let me go straighten the two of them out Shun!
Shunpei: Ok~ay.
(Handwritten- he seems upset…~)
013
Shunpei: ‘Texas Chainsaw!!!’
Ana: Aaight! Seems like he ain’t playin’ games ‘ere!
Mekki!
Let’s git started ‘ere too!!
Mekki: Y---yeah!
Ana: ‘Repenze Aztec’!
Ya’ll din know?
Ah use magic that controls music an’ dancin’.
014
Ana: Back in the ol’ days, music an’ dancin’ was used to do all kinds of stuff yanno? From makin sick people bettah, to bringin’ down the rain for the harvest.
Ya’ll could say it controls god ‘n’ the devil themselves.
It’s dat kind of power!!
Wit a cheerful Latin rhythm,
Ya’ll don’ know ‘ow much hurt ya’ll bout to be in.
…an’..
Huh?
Ah think I….
Forgot da CD.
Mekki: B---BOSS LADDDYYYYYY!!!
015
Ana: Ah didn’ even thin’ to look for dat thing…..
Maybe ah oughta make a check list or somethin’ like that…
Ah don’t even see my toothbrush…
Mekki: WE’VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS!!!
(Handwritten- we can’t fight back!!)
Ana: Aaah Ah know that!
We just got to fin’ them too!!
Mekki: We can’t overdo things boss lady!
I can’t do a physical fight against them and win!!
Ana: Yah think I’m stupid!! Ah know that!
But we ain’t got a choice!! Go!
Mekki: That’s suicide boss lady!!
Shunpei: Um…well…
How about we call it a draw for today then?
Mekki: I got it then!!
I’ll go and attack them!!
I don’t know how it’ll turn out but I gotta try!!
Shunpei: Oh man!!
He’s really coming this way!!
Who knows what’ll happen!
Hyde, what should we do?
Hyde:….for starters,
016
Hyde: Slow your roll.
Mekki: BUYHAAAA!!
Ana: Buah!!
GYAHHH!!!!
017
Hyde: You guys should know…
That hurt me more than it hurt you!
Shunpei: I’ll bet it did…
But man! What was up with those two?
They sure were weird…
Moreover, I was so late that it probably wasn’t even worth coming today~~ Teacher: Hey you! Take your seat!
Today I’d like to introduce a new transfer student to our Homeroom!
018
Teacher: She’s come straight from Mexico!
Ana Maria Monsalbaju-san.
Shunpei: Whaaaat? She didn’t just come here to try and beat me down?!
Moreover….she’s the same age as me?

Act 22 Frog Ramen (3)
002
Wamien: I-It can’t be!! That little brat’s magical device…
It activated!!
It’s a fluke!! It HAS to be!!
Shunpei: If you’re so sure about that, how about we test it out on your face a few times?
I’m ready, and there’s plenty more where that came from!!
Wamien: Nuuuh!!
You uppity little human!! I’ll rip you into pieces!!
You’ll wish that you’d never met a magical doll like me!!
Now let’s see…
003
Wamien: If you can handle the FULL power of my ‘Heaven’s bowl!’
If you can’t handle this, you’re asphalt!!
004
Wamien: Whatsamatter?! Too busy shivering in fear to talk?!
Nuhahahahahahahahahah!!!
Pacqua: To think he has this much strength…!!
This magic is….
Wamien: Ready to be bludgeoned my brat pack enemies?!
Hyde: Shun…!!
Shunpei: Don’t worry about it! Just go right on believing in me Hyde!
That’s the only thing I need you to do right now!
005
Hyde: No problem.
Wamien: Just to let you know….
It’s too late to cry or apologize!!
Shunpei: Your ‘Heaven’s bowl’ is a ‘bludgeoning’ power that may have no equal,
But my magic…
Takes the enemies fist and turns it right back at him! So the size of the attack doesn’t matter!
Some guys like you have to learn the hard way….
That the bigger they are, the harder they fall!!
006
Shunpei: Catch!!!!
Wamien: Nngahaa!!!
Impossible!!!
Shunpei: And now…..
007
Shunpei: Release!!!!
Wamien: Gyaaaaaaaah!!!
008
Pacqua: A—Amazing!!
My Magical device….
He’s mastered it completely!!
Wamien: H—how is this….
That guy….how…?!
He’s broken my pride into little bitty pieces…
Cr—crap!!
While I’ve been messing with him…
I’ve passed three minutes and gone back to normal!
I can’t do anything in this state….!!!
I have to hurry up and broil some more water!!
Then I can go back to hulk mode and squish those kids underfoot!!
What the?!!
The hot water!!
My hot water! Where is it?!
009
Wamien: I have to calm down!!
Soon I’ll get some more water…
And then I’ll claim my revenge!!
Hyde: Shun my boy…
Are you satisfied?
Because I’d say my turn just came up.
Shunpei: Yeah.
The floor’s all yours Hyde.
010
Shunpei: Oh yeah!
Hyde that’s right!
I’ve been itching for a time like this to come up!
Hyde: What’s that?
Shunpei: To be honest….
I’ve always wanted to say it…
Your catchphrase.
Hyde: Do what you want.
Shunpei: Wamien!
Wamien: What is it?!
Can’t you see I’m a little busy?!
The hot water will be ready in a moment, and then I’ll give you an express ticket to hell!!
So just wait right there for a minute!!
Shunpei: I would wait around,
But something tells me that we won’t be getting that rematch in this world.
Because your pot is…
011
Shunpei: Not plugged in, is it?
I guess this lesson was too heavy for you small fry!
Smell ya later!!
012
{TEXAS CHAINSAW!!!!!}
013
014
Che-che: Terrible!
I’ve never had such terrible ramen.
And to think this shop calls this garbage food?
It would be so much better if I had Closer Shunpei’s heart on a platter….
It’s not so bad though, since I’m sure I’ll have Closer’s power soon enough!!
In any case,
Wamien sure is late…
Guy: ‘Scuse me,
Is the butto ramen for four ready yet?
Waitress: Uh..
Yes!
I’m so sorry! Here’s your order!!
015
Waitress: Whoops.
(Sfx- GYAAAAAAAHHHHHH)
Tatsumi: Shunpei-Kun!!
016
Shunpei: Tatsumi-san!
Shindou-senpai!
Tatsumi: We were we too late to stop the enemy magician from getting away!
Shindou: Moreover….
Are your wounds all right?
Shunpei: Yeah! I had an X-ray and everything, and turns out nothing serious was broken.
Tatsumi: That’s awesome!!
I was afraid with your luck you’d end up becoming a vegetable or something like that!!
(Handwritten- In incredible pain)
Tatsumi: I was worried to death over you!!!
Oh noooooo!!!
I’m soo sorry!!!
017
Tatsumi: And?
Did you perfect it?
The ‘Catch’ and ‘Release’?!
Shunpei: You bet!
Thanks to everyone’s help!
Tatsumi-san! Shindou-Senpai! Tomiko!
Thank you so much for training me day in and day out!
Hyde!
Thanks a lot for believing in me until the very end!
Hyde: Don’t thank me Shun my boy!
You’re becoming a fine man on your own!!
And last but not least is Pacqua-san…
Pacqua: Hn?
018
Shunpei: Thank you…
For creating such a convenient device, and lending it to me.
Because of you Pacqua-san…
I’ve managed to become just a little bit stronger….
So please…
Don’t say that you’re going to stop being a device saleslady…
Anymore okay?
Pacqua: Closer-san?
019
Pacqua: Do…Don’t…
Don’t thank me! I didn’t do anything!!
It’s because you never backed down that it worked out!!
I’m useless! I couldn’t help at all!!
H…uh?
Shunpei: Pacqua-san?
Pacqua: So—Sorry….!!
I….
I don’t know what to do….
I’ve never been thanked for one of my devices before…..
But…
It’s so nice to hear….
Sorry….
So sorry….!!
020
Tatsumi: There’s no need to be embarrassed! Just say ‘you’re welcome!’
Shindou: I’m afraid I should be the one apologizing to you.
I’m sorry for my rude remarks yesterday….you keep a fine shop.
Shunpei: Pacqua-san…
It’s a pleasure doing business with you!
https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/7897[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 21 by Bomber D Rufi2008-12-17T04:06:10+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comThe magic's back!
Act 21 Frog Ramen 2
‘Devices’ are….?!
• The media needed for a magician to summon certain types of magic. • ‘Devices’ come in many shapes and sizes, and differ depending on the magical user that depends on them. • ‘Barrier stones’-‘Entry’, ‘Chain’ ‘Globe’-‘Sense’ • When a magician has procured a certain ‘device’ there are still some rules on how it can be used depending on location and ability. • ‘Devices’ are only a part of a magician’s ability to create miracles, and the rest lies in the strength of belief that they have. It is for this sake that Device stores have to be very stringent in the ‘devices’ that they sell. The raw materials that they use for the ‘devices’ can appear to be nothing more than common decoration, but the ‘device’ truly depends on a trust that is built between customer and seller. It is with this belief, that the ‘device’ can serve its true purpose.
002
Shunpei: I’m going to handle this one!
So don’t….
Lay a finger on him!
Pacqua: Closer-san?!
003
Hyde: I get it, Shun my boy.
I’ll let you handle this as you see fit.
Pacqua: Hyde-san?!
But why?
Wamien: Your body guard’s here,
And yet you as a puny human wants to pick a fight?
I’ll show you just how naiieve you’re being boy!!
004
Wamien: My magical power ‘Heaven’s Bowl’ is..
A ‘bludgeoning’ power!!
It grants me an unheard of amount of strength to go blow for blow on my enemy until it can’t move!!
With my energy….
I could even topple the Tokyo Tower!!
It’s too late to wet your pants now!!
005
Shunpei: Uwaaaah!!!
Hyde: Shun!!
Wamien: Nuahahahahah!! Is this the best you can do?!
How very interesting!!
Well then, I’ll just have a little bit of fun,
And play catch with you!!
Shunpei: Dang!!
Cat---
006
Shunpei: Guaaaah!!!
Pacqua: Closer-san!!
Shunpei: Geh….!!
No—Not yet…!!
Wamien: Nuhah!! I get it now!
For some pitiful reason,
You want to show off in front of that little girl…with that strange new magical device huh?!?!
Nuhahahahhahaha
How pitifully naiieve!!
007
Wamien: Any device you get is a reflection of the story you got it from,
So as a magician you shouldn’t expect second rate goods alone to get you out ofa tight spot!
But I think the results speak for themselves, since that girl’s device doesn’t work does it?
Shunpei: ‘Catch’….
Guwah!!
Wamien: You can’t get it to do anything can you!!
To think you’re the one with Closer, the magical king’s power!
Yet you’d throw away your life,
Thinking sappy thoughts like this,
It’s deliciously absurd!!
008
Pacqua: If this continues….
Closer-san really will die!!
Hyde-san!
You’re Closer-san’s magical doll aren’t you?!
Why aren’t you going in to save him from that monster?!
Hyde: Yeah, if Shun were to be killed here,
I’d never be able to face up to the old man again.
But yanno….
009
Hyde: A man to man pledge isn’t something I can walk on so easily.
Besides, even if I were the sort, he’d never accept my help….!!
Pacqua: For that you’d..!!
Closer-san!!
Please stop this! I beg of you!
There’s no longer any meaning for you to get hurt!!
I’ve told you from the start that anything I make is equal to trash….
Yet…..
You’re still going this far….
010
Shunpei: Pacqua-san
You’re wrong about me….
Pacqua: Huh?
Shunpei: In the past, when I had no self confidence, I would have run away….
When things were too hard, or seemed to be slipping out of control.
But that’s not how I am now….
I started changing since I met a certain stuffed bear.
He’s a bit stubborn,
Always trying to make himself look cool,
And I can never understand him, yet he always is there when I need him the most.
When I look at him,
I think to myself how badly I want to change.
That’s why I have to do this with your device Pacqua-san,
So that this time I can show him and everyone…
011
Shunpei: People….
Can change if they so desire it…..
Pacqua: Closer-san!!!
Wamien: I’ve let you have your fun gibber-jabbering….
But I think it’s time to end this.
This attack’ll be it!
Get ready to kiss your days on earth goodbye!
012
{I can do this!!}
{I just have to have complete faith.!!}
{For someone else?}
{For myself…?}
{That’s not it at all!}
{For Pacqua-san, who gave me this to use…..}
{And because of her kindness, I decided that I’d work hard to master it!}
{Because I don’t want anyone to worry about me….}
{I went through strenuous training every day, with the friends who believed in me!}
{And of course…}
013
{Hyde who’s always had my back, no matter how tough things got….}
{For him too!!}
Shunpei: Catch!!!
014
Shunpei: I….
I did it?!
015
Shunpei: Inside of this cellphone…
Is the shockwave of the bronze statue that I captured?!
Is this really…
‘Catch’?!?!
Pacqua: My device…..
For the first time it activated….?!
Hyde: …Man…Even I was worried for a minute…
Pacqua: You did it Closer-san!!
You’ve now captured the attack shockwave…
And can use it as an attack of your ownnnn!!
Shunpei: You’ve been pretty mouthy up until now!!
But now I have a check even your mouth can’t cash!
016
Shunpei: RELEASE!!!
017
Wamien: GUAHAAA!!
018
Wamien: Urrgh!!
How can this be?! That little brat’s magical device….
Nurgh!! It activated!!
It’s a fluke!! It HAS to be!!
You’re still a brat! Getting all excited over it working once!!
Shunpei: …Think so huh?
Then bring it on!! I’m ready, are you?
And there’s plenty more where that came from!!

One other note. Pakwa's name spelling has been changed thanks to a friend of mine. MBG approved it too, so we'll be using this name for now on. 20 has the new name in it, and I'm going to go change 19 now. Thanks for reading!
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
Shunpei: I never once thought,
That you were the one at fault Pacqua-san.
And now I know…
How I can prove it.
Shunpei: I’m home….
Hyde: Where ya been, Shun my boy?
You say you’re out for a walk, but this late….
002
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER ACT 20- Frog Ramen (1)
003
Hyde: Are you playing football after school Shun?
Shunpei: Nah, Just hanging out with my friends…heheh..
Hyde: While it’s nice to see you kids having fun outside….
Ya gotta know your limits or,
You’ll be too wiped out to deal with the next fight…
Hyde: Man, coming straight home and decking out on you futon…
I could swear that you’re hiding something from me….
004
Hyde: You’ll catch a cold,
And then be a sick kid stuck indoors.
Tatsumi: All right!!
Today my hand’s burning up! Better get ready! Shunpei: Got it!
I’m leaving my training to you Tasumi-san!
005
006
Shunpei: It’s still not going so well….
Tatsumi: Yeaah, seems like no matter how many times we try, nothing works…
Maybe it’s not the baseball that’s the problem….but your cell phone?
Pacqua: Sorry! So very sorry! It’s my handiwork that’s to blame!!
Tatsumi: Wha?! No! I didn’t’ mean that!! I’m sorry!
Shunpei: Yeah!!
It’s because I’m so clumsy….
007
Shunpei: You had nothing to do with it Pacqua-san~!!
Shindou: Closer-kun,
I wanted to keep silent, but I can’t do it anymore.
You have to understand, that with the magicians after you, you are in a constant life and death situation.
Your enemies would love nothing more than to expose your weaknesses,
Which include magical devices in which you have no control over. You really ought to go back and choose another.
I’ll admit, the ‘catch’ and ‘release’ module are magical marvels.
But you can’t go on thinking that all magic is as easy to perform as ‘Entry’.
For your own good, you should choose something more perfected than this…
Shunpei: I understand….
Shindou-Senpai, you’re only looking out for me…
But..
For just a little longer…
008
Shunpei: At least let me for one more day…
Prove to Paquwa-san that her devices aren’t failures, please?
Shindou: Fine…
If you feel that it’s the right decision…
Tatsumi: Well then, let’s stop here for now.
Take your time today and rest up, so we can start tomorrow.
Shunpei: But I’m good to go now.
Tatsumi: Quit trying to act cool!
We’re worried about you, looking all beat up like that!
Shunpei: Owwww!!
Tatsumi: Just make sure,
That tomorrow you’re in tip top shape!
We’ve got to perfect this by then!
Shunpei: Yeah!!
009
{Meanwhile at a certain city’s shopping district….}
Guy: Dude, I’m starvin’!
How about we get some ramen over there?
(Sign- Frog Ramen.)
Guy2: Naw, let’s not go there.
I heard that place is famous, in all the wrong ways.
Have you ever seen a single person head in there before?
(Sign- Frog Ramen.)
Guy: Seriously? Well it does look pretty banged up man…
Guy2: I’m hungry, but I’m not stupid.
Fatty: Delicious!
The density of the noodles, the murkiness of the soup…
Plus the way it drips down into the noodle…
This is the ramen of miracles….
Yet the TV and the papers talk trash about the shop!
It feels like a hundred years since someone came into this store to have ramen…
010
Fatty: That is…
Until now, that the best ramen has been created!
I had been looking feverishly for the ultimate taste, and a mascot for my ramen store,
But then I happened upon a nifty magical doll.
Old guy: Including today, I’ve only had one customer for a half year.
I wonder where he is now….
Huh?
Nugahaaa!?!
Wasn’t there a counter here?! Where’d it go?
011
Old guy: Co---
Counter thief!!!
Pacqua: They’re not here….
I wonder where everyone is today.
Shunpei: I hope they show up soon….
I’ve got a good feeling that today’s the day I gain a new spell!!
Pacqua: I’ve got something to say about that Closer-san.
Shunpei: What’s that?
Pacqua: I’ve been thinking…
Since yesterday….
012
Pacqua: I’m going to close up shop.
I won’t sell magic devices anymore.
Shunpei: Wha…
Just now,
What did you…?
Pacqua: I’ve known it for a while…
That I don’t have any ability for this kind of work…
013
Pacqua: Because I was overjoyed when I saw how people’s faces lit up when their magical devices worked for them….I strived to be the best.
I should have known that I’m never going to be in the same league as Daddy.
Closer-san, I’m truly grateful to you….
You believed in me until the very end…. I’ve never had someone like that…
But,
That’s enough, really.
You don’t have to keep up this façade any longer.
Hyde: W—Wait a second!!
Who says I want to give up?! I want to learn how to use this device!!
Besides, you can’t just say you have no talent!!
Pacqua: I’m saying that’s enough. Even if you had a million years to learn, with defective merchandise it’s no good.
Closer-san, I’ll be fine,
Go ahead and look for a better magical device.
014
Pacqua: I’m sorry for being a nuisance until the very end.
So, very sorry.
???: NUHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!
I’ve got you cornered now, Closer Shunpei!!
And what luck!
Your terrible teddy guardian isn’t here!!
I’ve got you and that woman cornered!!
Shunpei: Oh no! Not here and now!!
???: I hope you’re ready!!
015
Frog: My name is Wamien!
Old man Chi-chi Sent me out here with ‘orders to kill’ you! That’s my orders as his magical doll!!
Shunpei: Thi—This….
Does he expect to win?!?!
(Handwritten- he came out so boldly too…)
Wamien: I see it!
You’re thinking ‘does he think he can win’?
How naiieve!
Take a look!
Shunpei: At a pot?
If I pour this boiling hot soup into the porcelain bowl on my head,
In three minutes….
I change from cute little frog to…
016
Wamien: Lean mean crushing machine!
There’s no one who can stand up to my Herculean strength!!
This is my magical power….
‘Heaven’s Bowl’!!!
Pacqua: Closer-san!!
Wamien: NUAHAHAHAH!!
017
Hyde: Now do you understand why I said not to head out alone?
Shunpei: Hyde!!
Why are you here? …
You already figured out everything?!
Hyde: Ya think? Coming home every day beaten up, of course I figured that something was up!
Now ain’t you something.
We’ll take less than three minutes on this guy Shun my boy!!
Shun?
Shunpei: Hyde..
I’ve gotta ask you…
To do me just one favor.
018
Shunpei: Let me take care of this one on my own!!
I won't be needing your help!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/235[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 19 by Bomber D Rufi2008-10-25T08:08:09+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comWhat can I say? I guess instead of having a sex drive I have translation pangs. More...Saturday night? (Not like I'll be doing anything else this weekend...)
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
ACT 19: Unknown Bazaar (2)
Girl: I’m always messing up at something….
So don’t worry about it.
002
Shunpei: Are you…
A ‘Device’ saleslady?
Girl: Y—yes…for now.
Thank you for your patronage!
Ah I man Sorry! Really sorry! So sorry!!
Shunpei: Ah…There’s no need for that…
You can stop apologizing~
Girl: I’m…
Paquwa Sunoallicchi.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
(TN- Long live cute manga girls!!)
003
Shunpei: I’m Closer Shunpei.
Shindou: I’m Shindou.
Tomiko I am Tomiko.
Shindou: But what was up with that other guy? He sure was harsh….did the magical device he got from this store fail?
Paquwa: N—No…It’s probably something I did…
The power of a magician comes from ‘a power of belief.’
(Box- From manga volume 1 act two.)
Paquwa: So we as Magical Device salespeople keep this in mind,
And create or sell devices that people can place all of their trust into.
I pride myself on having service that customers can rely on,
But my magical device store isn’t doing too well..
To be honest, I don’t think I’ve sold anything that doesn’t come right back as a refund…
Oh no! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to bore you with my story of woe..
Sorry! So sorry!!
Shunpei: She sure likes to apologize….
004
Shunpei: Now that I look around Paquwa-san…your devices…
They’re a bit different from the other shops…
They all seem….cuter.
I don’t see prices….
Paquwa: So—Sorry
First impressions are important, or so I’ve heard…
So I came up with these designs hoping people would be drawn in..
Shunpei: But I don’t know the first thing about these…
I wish I could be handy with ‘em like you…
005
Paquwa: Oh that’s the new ‘Meifu-606 model,
It’s a device that can use the ‘catch’ and ‘release’ module, something that’s useful for attacking and defending.
(TN- Meifu is the Japanese name for Hades, and I’m sure 606 is probably an allusion to 666.)
Shunpei: Catch and Release?
Paquwa: From the Japanese ‘Girl’s day festival’ tradition.
They would use dolls that they’d call ‘hitogata’ which are made of paper, to ward off any evil sprits.
Then they would send these downstream and pray for guidance against disasters,
That device works somewhat the same way,
By trapping anything you deem as an evil spirit…
So in essence, it will capture what you deem as an evil spirit, let’s say an attack in this case and store it inside.
Then you can release it whenever you feel like you don’t need it anymore. It’s rather handy!
Plus it can even function as an ordinary cell phone too! You can watch TV on it and ply a games,
People in middle school find it especially handy, and at that price it’s literally a steal! You’ll get a limited time guarantee but only if you act now….
Oh no! My sales pitch was too long!! I’m sorry!!
006
Paquwa: However the ‘Meifu-606’ may not be a device that’s good for every day combat…
You’d have to train with it often in order to use it successfully.
Shindou: Closer-kun?!
Paquwa: We—well then.. If you’re lost, or don’t have anything else to do…can I ask you for something?
Shunpei: Huh?
Paquwa: I could give you that tool for free, just so you can test it out Closer-san.
Try it out! It may end up proving quite useful to you!
Shunpei: Huh?!
But we just met a minute ago!!
How do you know I won’t run away with it?!
Paquwa: That would be bad news~…
Shunpei: Yeah..
(Handwriten- Please dooon’t.)
Paquwa: But in this case I’ll believe in you, just so you can learn to use the ‘catch’ and ‘release’ module.
I suppose I won’t get anywhere if I can’t at least trust you with it for a while…
007
Paquwa: To be able to trust the customer is the foundation.
If there’s no trust between us, nothing can begin.
Shunpei: Well then…
For letting me use this…
I’ll train really hard, and master it.
Paquwa: Okay!
008
Shindou: Are you sure about your choice?
You saw that previous customer.
To be honest, while she seems like a nice girl, I question her Magical Device store.
I recommend going back to find another salesperson…
And finding something…
Shunpei: But Shindou-senpai..
Even if I go back and find another salesperson, they won’t trust me like she did…
Shindou: Yes…I suppose that’s true.
Shunpei: And I want Paquwa-san to continue trusting me so…
I’ve decided I’m going to keep this.
009
Shindou: If you say so…
For now we should focus on your training now that you have a device.
Starting from tomorrow on, you have to work hard!
We’ll keep it a secret from Hyde, but I’m sure he’ll be surprised!
I can’t wait to see your progress myself.
Shunpei: Shindou-senpai!!
Shindou: I’ll be a little bit busy tomorrow morning, so you may have to call in a proxy.
Do you know anyone that can help?
Someone that wouldn’t mind collaborating with you…
010
Tatsumi: ALLL RIGHT!!
Let’s do this!!
(On ball- Evil)
Shindou: Hahah…
She’s a firecracker! A girlfriend perhaps?
Shunpei: It’s not like that….
But why Baseball Tatsumi-an?
Tatsumi: Why not? It makes perfect sense!
You want to practice ‘catch’ and ‘release right? So why not ply a game where those are the main rules?!
Just the other day I was watching this hot blooded baseball drama, ‘If your right for that woman, than hurry up and become the first real pro in 100 years’ And it brought me to tears! That pitcher was sooo manly!
Shunpei: Seriously….
011
Tatsumi: Okay! Here it comes Shunpei-kun!!
My high speed pitch!
Catch it if you can!!
{The power of a magician comes from a ‘Power of Belief’}
{So first I need to gain self confidence….}
{I will get stronger!! I believe in myself!!}
Shunpei: Ca---
012
Shunpei: GYAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Tatsumi: I guess we need to start from the basics….lets practice playing catch…?
Are you okay Shunpei-Kun?!!
Your nose…it’s…it’s….
Shunpei: Sorry Tatsumi-san…
I’ll catch the next one….I promise..
Don’t mind me….
Keep ‘em coming!
Tatsumi: I got it! Next up is my marvelous fork spin!!
Shunpei: Wait…
I didn’t say throw weird pitches though!!
Shunpei: Catch!!
GYAH!!
Catch!!
GUEEEH!!
Catch!!
014
Tatsumi: Are…Are you okay Shunpei-kun?
Maybe you should take a quick break…?
Shunpei: I guess so..
I thought having this cellphone would make catching it easier…
But things aren’t going so well…
(Handwritten- Why though?)
Shindou: Well there are several types of magic, maybe this one just isn’t for you…
We still have other choices…
Shindou: It’s just as I thought, perhaps the device is the problem…
Tatsumi: Yeah!
Your life is at stake here Shunpei-kun…
You should go back to the Unknown Bazaar and pick out a new device…
015
Shunpei: P…Paquwa-san?!
Paquwa: I’m so sorry…
I knew it! It’s because my device sucks isn’t it?
Why can’t I create anything that makes people happy….
I’ll just take it back and never bother you again….!!
Shunpei: Noo! It’s not like that!! Really!!
Paquwa: More like I shouldn’t have come here and overheard your conversation!! Sorry!!
Tatsumi: Somehow, I think I understand a lot now…
Paquwa: Sorry! Really sorry!!
I’m so very very sorry!!
Shunpei: Well…no…really!!
016
Tastumi: My marvelous fork!!
Tomiko: Child’s play.
Paquwa: I’m sorry for not having any talent…
I guess I’ll never be as good as daddy…
Shunpei: Daddy?
Paquwa: Ah…yes my daddy is a Device salesman…
Daddy’s amazing though, his devices are known all around the world,
Magicians are more than willing to travel halfway across the globe just to buy his creations.
017
Paquwa: When I was little, I’d see the faces of the happy customers and it would make me happy too.
Magician: As usual thanks…
This medicine is a lifesaver.
Bald guy: I can’t believe it! Just like you said…it started raining!!
You really know your stuff!
Paquwa: Daddy would bring them smiles, and make their dreams come true.
And he’d always tell me…
‘The Magicians believe in the device salespeople, and it’s that belief that’s essential.’
‘Devotion,’
‘To both the craft and your devices, will bring the people in without fail.’
---I’ll never forget it.
018
Shunpei: I never thought for a moment….
That you were the one at fault Paquwa-san.
Paquwa: Eh?
Shunpei: And now I know…
How to prove it.https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/234[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 18 by Bomber D Rufi2008-10-25T08:05:52+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comDroppin' Hyde like it's hot And the pigs won't get at me since it's not licensed :-P
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
ACT 18: Unknown Bazaar (1)
002
Shunpei: ‘The Watchman’..?!
Enrique: Yeah.
That man told me everything…
About Alshid Closer the magic king, and how you had inherited his power. He then went on to tell me how the magicians of the world want you dead,
And how I could get a cut of the action, but only if I acted quickly….
003
Enrique: To do that…but…
I can’t…
I can’t possibly kill somebody!!
Watchman: Enrique-kun…
Are you telling me then…
That your mother’s life means nothing to you?
That you’re much happier earning pocket change and watching her die?
Enrique: I didn’t say that!!
But who could possibly be okay with taking a life?!
I just can’t…!!
Watchman: Enrique-kun..
Do you understand…
Just what you can do with your strength?
You aren’t a weakling. 004
Watchman: That’s right..
What it is that you ‘desire’ most.
What it is that from the bottom of your heart…
That you really must have.
Believe me when I say that Closer’s power can grant it.
And you have the qualification for it.
Hahah…
That’s more like it…
I like those eyes.
That ‘desire’….
005
Watchman: Is the most important part.
Enrique: Up until now….
I didn’t have any idea how dumb I was being…
I’m a fool…
It’s stupid!! I know it!! But when I heard his voice my rational thought just…..
That man knows how to pierce into your psyche and dig up desire, and then use it against you!!
It’s like when I met him, I lost sight of myself!!
006
Enrique: I’m…
So sorry….
Shunpei: It’s fine… Hyde: So our problem now is…
That ‘Watchman’ jerk.
Shindou: Seems that way.
Closer-kun, I too had no idea exactly who it was that had started this massive chace..
To think that the magicians of the world are on the move because of a rumor from one man…
But why?
If he wants the power of Closer….
Why not keep it to himself, and deal with you personally?
It seems to me….
That this man has a grudge against Alishid Closer…perhaps?
007
Shindou: If not that….
Then what is his objective?
Hyde: Either way, at least now we know who we’re up against.
Rather than fighting small fries blindly.
What’s up Shun my boy?
Shunpei: Huh?
Ah…well..
It’s nothing really…
I was just thinking….
008
Shunpei: Thanks for bringing me home,
Shindou-Senpai.
Shindou: It’s not a big deal….
I don’t mind it at all.
Shunpei: Hyde…
Sorry about this…
But you go on ahead okay?
Hyde: Hm?
Oh sure…
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai…
Shindou: Yes? What is it?
009
Shunpei: I want to learn a new magical spell,
So do you think you could teach me anything you know?
Shindou: …Sure….
But why did you ask Hyde to leave first?
Shunpei: Hyde…
He’s always getting beaten up because of me…
And I can’t stand it anymore…
If it weren’t for me…
Hyde wouldn’t have to suffer so much…
010
Shunpei: So from here on in..
I’m going to be someone he can rely on, rather than the other way around.
I’m going to seek out strength any way I can.
That’s why…
I won’t tell him….
This is…
My problem to solve!
011
Shindou: My you’ve changed.
Could it be Hyde’s influence?
Leave everything to me then.
I’ll help you find a new ability.
Shunpei: Shindou-senpai!
Shindou: Driver!
Do you think we could take a slightly different route?
Driver: Yes young master!
Shunpei: Unknown Bazaar?
(TN- Kanji reads ‘Underground capital’)
Shindou: Yeah, they’re all over the world…albeit in places regular people dare not go.
A dark city that’s a purveyor to the government.
012
Shindou: It’s there that we’ll look for a medium for your magic….a magical device.
Shunpei: ‘Magical Device?’
Shindou: You remember your grandfather’s ‘Barrier stones’ right?
Using those allows the user to cast ‘Entry’.
No matter how powerful the magician, Using a medium is essential.
And having an array of different ‘Magical Devices’ is the best way to be prepared for anything.
Shunpei: Isn’t this…
The shopping district?
Shindou: Over here.
013
Shindou: Let me tell you one thing first Closer-kun.
Our use of the magic ‘entry’ is an example of the defense magic,
And there are several instances of different attack mediums,
Adversely, Hyde and Tomiko..
Are examples of magical dolls.
Which other magicians use to get their dirty work done without having to show themselves.
So in your case,
We’ll be looking for a ‘Magical device’ in the Unknown Bazaar that suits you.
Shunpei: Bu---But Shindou-Senpai….
What are we looking for in the shopping district, in the middle of the night?
None of the stores are open…
And…..
Where are we….
I don’t even remember a place like this here…?
Th---This is?!
014
015
Shindou: In this large city, many people who dabble in, or are experts with devices gather,
As the Unknown Bazaar only opens at night.
You needn’t worry about the other magicians who are targeting you though,
I’ll use my sense to sniff them out if they draw near.
Take your time, and enjoy your shopping.
016
Old man: Hey there bro! How about some Strus for ya?
With this you can sneak into the ladies bath easy!!
Witch: Got a dead body? No problem! Use ‘Calling’~!
With this, you can get your lover’s soul back from Hades grip~
(TN- Kanji for ‘Calling’ is ‘Spirit words’)
Shunpei: Whoa…there’s so much weird stuff here…
I don’t even know where to begin looking….
And this price….
One hundred thousand….
WHOAAAA!!
‘Devices’ are hella expensive!!
How’s a middle school student supposed to afford these?!
Shindou: No need to worry about it.
I keep one hundred thousand cash around just in case I get hungry.
Shunpei: Ahahah…
017
Shunpei: Geez!
I know Shindou-senpai says I need something…
But how can I possibly know what I need to get? Plus I don’t feel comfortable asking him for that much money…
Although, I said that I wanted to get stronger…so I can’t go home..
So what do I do?
???: You wench!!
What the hell is wrong with you?
Girl: I’m so sorry!!
???: What kind of ‘Tie the knot marriage pie’ is this?!
I used the ‘charm’ just like you told me to…and nothing happened!
She ate it and then told me that it tasted disgusting!!
Then my date went totally downhill from there!!
Girl: I’m sorry!!
So very sorry!
Really really sorry!!
???: As if sorry means crap!!
Shunpei: He threw it right at her face!!
(Handwritten- Harsh…)
???: I’m never coming back here again!!
(Handwritten- Che!)
018
Shindou: That’s horrible.
Can he consider himself a man while treating that poor girl that way…?
Shunpei: Hey, are you okay?
Girl: Eh?
Ah…Sorry!!
There’s no need to worry about me!!
I’m absolutely fine…
Sorry!!
Really I’m sorry!
Shunpei: Hey….
There’s no need to apologize to me….
Girl: Things like this always happen to me….
So please don’t worry yourself….https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/233[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 17 by Bomber D Rufi2008-10-25T08:04:10+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comMAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER

Enrique: No…No way!!
My greatest creation Kefman….
Was defeated by that Japanese doll?!
Shunpei: She’s amazing!!
You’ve become so much stronger since you fought the two of us!!
You’re the man!!
Shindou-Senpai!!
Tomiko!
Tomiko: No trouble at all.
003
Enrique: I can’t lose my cool….
Mikeran is still in the game!!
Now that Kefman is down, I can channel all of my energy into Mikeran!
He can take them on alone!!
Tomiko: Shall I take care of the rest Hyde-dono?
If it would please you, I still have enough strength to destroy the other doll….would you like that?
Hyde: You oughta’ have some restraint missy.
I can’t have you takin’ all of my credit can I?
If I leave my share to a lady I won’t be able to live it down.
004
Hyde: No worries though. I’ll be done with this in a sec.
It’s just you alone ugly! So get lost!
Or would you like me to cut that smile off your face?
005
006
Shunpei: What just happened?!
Hyde’s Texas Chainsaw…
Missed?!
Enrique: Hahah!!
That’s it!
Show them your magic Mikeran!

Your punch has limitless power!!
007
Enrique: I didn’t plan on having to use this guy,
But who cares?! With him I don’t even NEED a plan to take care of you!!
Your chainsaw can’t even touch Mikeran!!
And if it can’t connect it can’t win!
Smash ‘em to pieces Mikeran!!
Hyde: A fighting….
Expert is it?
I’m askin ya’….
What’s so great about that?
008
Enrique: Huh…?!
Hyde: Ugly boy might be good at evading attacks…
But I’ll bet he can’t take a punch as well as he can outrun one.
009
Hyde: Without that he ain’t nothin’.
Enrique: No way!!
How could his punch be taken down like that!!!
Hyde: Too bad little man.
But I guess we’re just on two different levels.
Punks like you that need pops’s power,
Can’t even stand in my shadow.
Guess this lesson was just too heavy for you.
Smell ya later.
010
011
Shunpei: He did it!!
Nice going Hyde!!
Enrique: No…no way?!
Even Mikeran…
Was defeated!!
Holy Crap….
‘The curse’ is…
Coming back to me..!!
012
Enrique: AAAAAUUUGH!!!
Shunpei: Gah!
Hyde: Shun?!
013
Enrique: Yo…you…
Shunpei: Ooooowww!! I think I peeled all of my skin!!
Enrique: Why’d you save me?!
Don’t you know I’m…
I was trying to kill you!!
Shunpei: That’s true and all…
But when I see someone falling from a high place…I gotta do something yanno?
No matter what kinds of bad things you did….
I don’t think it’s fair to punish you by not acting.
014
Hyde: ----Man. He never changes, that naiieve kid…
Shindou: Well he wouldn’t be Closer-kun any other way.
(Box- Returned to normal.)
Hyde: We’ve got a long walk home ahead…
So let’s get moving Shun my boy.
Shunpei: Yeah.
Enrique: Um…
He..Hey.
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai Tomkio,
Thanks for lending a hand back there…
Shindou: What are you taking about?
That’s what friends are for.
Hyde: This is getting annoying though, always getting attacked first.
A man can’t even enjoy his walk.
Shunpei: You’re right about that.
I know I’ve got the blood of the magical king and all, but it would be nice to know where the opponent is coming from, and why….
Hyde: If only we had that sort of intel. Then we’d be traight.
Enrique: I….I know.
Shunpei: Wha?
015
Enrique: The person that’s orchestrated this whole mass movement for your death….
And enticed all of the magicians with the hope of your power…I know the person who’s behind it all.
Shunpei: Wha….
What did you just say?!
016
Enrique: My Dad died pretty recently…
And my mom got so frazzled, that she developed a heart condition.
I was born with a small amount of magical power,
So I had been making a little bit of cash on the side,
By giving travelers fortune telling shows.
But then…
It’s not enough!
How am I gonna get enough money to help mom, with this pocket change?!
What can I do..!!
At that time…
He appeared….
In a window….
???: You there with the magical power…
017
Enrique: It was like, weird! He appeared in a window that…sat in the middle of the sky,
And spoke to me quietly, like it was some kind of weird bedtime fairytale!!
???: It seems…
That you have quite the handy ability there….
However your power….
Shouldn’t be used on such frivolous pursuits.
I could give you some information….
That can make all of your wildest dreams come true…
Information that can grant you all kinds of amazing powers…
Enrique: After I heard him out,
He started appearing to me everywhere I went, around the world….
He’s called….
“The Watchman”.https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/232[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 16 by Bomber D Rufi2008-10-25T08:03:24+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comI too can go on a translation blitz.
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
Shindou: Closer-kun…
Is MY Ally.
ACT 16 Puppet (3)
002
Shunpei: Shindou-senpai!!
Kefman: Impossible…
Closer-sama has an ally?
How could this be!!
Kefman: Hohoho…
Shindou-sama…Welcome.
May I ask how you happened upon our gathering?
You are the same as Enrique-sama….a magician.
You DO want the power of Closer, the great magical king….?
Hyde: How are you holding up Shun?
Shunpei: I’ve seen better days…
Hyde: Shindou….
Fighting on OUR side….
What’re you up to?
Shindou: That should be obvious…..I’m fighting to save you.
003
Shindou: Let me become your strength.
In the past I targeted you just like him…..
Yet you still forgave us and allowed Tomiko to keep her life.
I pay back my favors, and that includes you.
Let us join forces in battle Closer-kun!!
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai!!
004
Shindou: I’m tagging you out.
The problem are those wires right?
Sounds fine. I’ll take care of that clown-doll.
Shunpei: Shindou-senpai?!
Shindou: It won’t take but a second.
I may not look like it, but I was busy with something.
You know, after this…we should head back to my place and do a bit of studying…my father has some excellent books on finance…and then we have some brain busting math problems that we could get together and solve…
Oh and fishing! We must go fishing after we’re done! I’ll gladly give you a lesson! And there’s flower arrangement and tea ceremonies…and calligraphy…
Shunpei: Th—That’s fine!! I get it! But really….I’m cool!!
Kefman: Hohohoho!!
You seriously want to fight me?!
All you have as defense is hair!
I’ll have a go at you, and slice that pompous attitude clean off!!
Masaka- Marionette!!
005
Shindou: Mozan hagu!!
Shindou: Guh!!
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai!!
Kefman: Hohohoho!!
Looks like you were just all talk too.
006
Kefman: My Masaka- Marionette is…
Constructed of wires that can even slice an iron box into ribbons!
You must have been dreaming…
Shindou: Egh!!
Kefman: To believe that weak hair could stop it!
Aww too bad, you miscalculated didn’t you?
Our powers are too different.
Now there’s nothing left but to enjoy your eventual defeat.
Don’t worry though, Closer-sama’s life will close right after yours.
007
Shunpei: No…no way!!
Even Shindou-sama and Tomiko couldn’t…
The hair isn’t enough to stop those wires from cutting it!!
Hyde!
We’ve gotta save ‘em!!
Hyde: Tain’t gonna be easy Shun my boy.
Kefman’s ugly buddy ain’t takin’ his eyes off of me.
If I even glance in your direction the wrong way, he’s set up to slice us good.
Shunpei: But at this rate….
Hyde: Besides that Shun my boy…
Do you think they would have come just to get smacked down that easily?
Shunpei: Huh?
Shindou: I couldn’t have said it better Hyde-kun.
008
Shindou: You’re mistaken if you think I’m the same man I was when we met Closer-kun.
Since I no longer desire the magical King Closer’s power…
Tomiko and I decided to look for other ways to grant her humanity.
Believing in our mutual love….
And training myself in the ways of magic, we’ve become stronger.
Tomiko: “Right now the ‘Crimson Bride’ isn’t quite complete. So in order for it to function properly, I have to give out a great amount of my life force. Unfortunatly, doing so causes me to take on this form!!”
As the master says.
Shunpei: YOU’RE THE TRANSLATOR?!
013
Tomiko: Shindou-sama…
Kefman: Hohohoho!!
My! That’s a wonderful power you have there!
Though I’m having trouble understanding how it’ll ensure your victory.
You really should think more clearly about your magic,
Because like hair and wires….
There are some abilities that work better than others!
014
Kefman: Wha..!!
Th---This is…
Your hair?!
015
Kefman: Ho—How can this be?!
My beautiful wires!!
Stopped by a single strand of hair?!
Th-this is…
Just ludicrous!
How could this magic be more powerful than my own!!
Tomiko: “That hair, as you call it is the bond of love between Tomiko and I.”
“Taking it lightly is a mistake that will lead only to your defeat.”
And…
Shindou-sama has spoken.https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/231[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 15 by Bomber D Rufi2008-10-25T08:01:50+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comLet's get dangerous.
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
001
ACT 15
Puppet (2)
002
Kefman: The two of you actually hope to win?
Please. There must be a limit to your tomfoolery.
You look as if you’re unsure why you can’t win.
It’s mostly in part to those two weaknesses of yours.
Shunpei: ‘Two….Weaknesses’?!
Hyde: It’s ‘bout time you stopped acting big and bad.
I don’t have time to listen to your theories on why you think you’re unstoppable.
Kefman: Hohoho…
Well then, how about this….?
003
Hyde: Che!!
Shun!!
004
Shunpei: Uwaaaaaah!!!
Hyde: Ya hurt?
Shun my boy?
Shunpei: I—I’m fine!
Kefman: Hohoho…
And there it is.
Hyde-sama, your reach is no where near my own.
And because of that you have to overexert yourself in order to save Closer-Sama from my Masaka Marionette’s attacks.
To cut to the chase Hyde-sama,
You have to keep close to Closer-sama in order to protect him while we fight.
005
Kefman: And that is ‘weakness’ number one!!
You choose to stupidly have your magician out in the open, unlike us who attack from the shadows.
Having your human here during our battle is a major no-no you see!!
Hyde: Kuh!!
Kefman: If you had hidden Closer-sama and come alone, perhaps you might have had a higher chance at victory.
So then, what will you do?
006
Shunpei: Hyde!
Hyde: Tain’t a big deal, just a scratch.
Shunpei: But if that’s the case….
You guys are in the same boat right?
I dunno if your guy’s got guts or not,
But I know that in order to use magic he has to be nearby.
So what are you going on about ‘weaknesses’ for?
Hyde: Shun!!
007
Shunpei: No more running away! I’m going to fight this one out!!
Rather than hinder you Hyde, I’m going to help!!
You keep Kefman in your sights Hyde, and meanwhile…
I’ll find out where his magician is! He has to be nearby, since his dolls is so powerful!! Hyde: Shun, don’t be crazy! You’re their target!!
Even if you use ‘entry’ those wires can slice right through your defense!!
Kefman: Hohohohoho!!
Budgeting our time are we?
Shunpei: A second will be plenty of time…
To defend against these wires!!
008
Shunpei: This is my territory!!
Not even your wires are allowed to invade…
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!
Kefman: My Wires were….
Shunpei: Uwoaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
YAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
010
Shunpei: Wha….?
Geh!!
Ugggh!!
011
Shunpei: Ughaaaaaa!!
*Cough*
Ungh..!!
*Cough*
No way….
This one is….
A dolls too?!?!
012
Kefman: Hohoho
Was that really the best you could do?
As if I’d leave my magician wide open for your tactics.
Or do you seriously believe that everyone is as foolish as you two?
His name is Mikeran.
He is the same type of magical dolls as myself, a ball joint puppet.
Shunpei: No way!!
Are there seriously two dolls here?!
Kefman: Hohoho
Yes there are! Quite a shock isn’t it?
Magical dolls require magical energy to move.
And so, this miracle is brought to you buy a magician of great strength.
013
Kefman: Our master’s name is Enrique-sama.
He’s a young genius when it comes to the black arts of magic.
His magical energy is so powerful,
That controlling two dolls is…dare I say it? Childs play.
Hyde: Che!
Shun!!
Kefman: My deepest apologies…
But your distance to Closer-sama has been severely restricted.
You understand what this is right?
For you, this spells out the end.
I nearly forgot to tell you!
Your second great ‘weakness’ is….
014
Kefman: The world’s magicians are after your life, and so…
They could care less as you suffer in solitude!
Now plunge in despair as your one trouble becomes two.
There isn’t a single person in this world that will come to your rescue now.
015
Shunpei: W—whoa!!
Kefman: Hyde-sama you’re too far away,
To do anything but watch as Closer-sama’s life ends.
Shunpei: U---aah…!
Kefman: I on the other hand will enjoy this.
Shunpei: UAAAAAAAHHH!!
016
017
Kefman: Wha….
Hair?!!
???: Is that so? Well I won’t deny it…
In a case like this, Closer-kun would be all alone. Magcians are secretive as is, and he is their target after all.. You’re not bad in diagnosing this.
…But
There’s one small hole in your logic.
Shunpei: Shi…!!
018
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai?!!
Shindou: Closer-kun….
Happens to be MY ally.https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/219[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 14 by Bomber D Rufi2008-08-19T02:20:04+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.com.....wish I had as many 'ho's' as Kefman did this chapter.
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
(Middle text- A puppet show beyond your wildest dreams is about to start. Now enjoy the show!!)
Act 14: Puppet ASOU HARO
002
Shunpei: Hyde----
Hyde?
Hyde where are you?
That’s weird…
Where did he get to?
Huh?
{To Shun- I was (flo) bored and went out for a walk. Hyve}
003
Shunpei: NGYAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
004
Hyde: Yanno, hanging out here at the park by myself…
Isn’t a bad way to kill some time.
Men need time off too!
005
Shunpei: I FOUND YOU!!!
HYDE!!!
Hyde: What are you doing Shun?!
Shunpei: You shouldn’t move around in front of other people!!
You’re not exactly an everyday occurrence you know!!
Hyde: Men live freely.
Other people just have to learn to accept it!
Shunpei: Classic.
You’re just sitting at the park though!
Boy: Hey mom!
That guy over there is talking to his teddy bear! Isn’t he too old for that?
006
Mom: Now now Taku-chan…
It’s rude to simply assume things about that boy.
In this day and age, there are so many stressors that poor children like him talk to anyone or anyTHING to feel better about themselves.
Now take my hand and let’s go.
Boy: Okay.
Shunpei: We’re going HOME Hyde.
Hyde: ..Su—Sure thing.
Shunpei: What’s going on over there?
There are so many people…is there some kind of event?
Hyde: Let’s have a look Shun my boy!
Shunpei: I dunno, can a certain bear promise not to move?
007
Prince: Now evil clown knight! I will take back the fair lady Monica….
In the name of the fair Prince Erik! Will you flee? Or fall victim to my wrath?
Shunpei: A puppet show…
I didn’t think they still did that…
Kid: You’re the man Prince Erik!
Kid2: Beat him down!!
Monica: Oh my dear Prince Erik…
Please save me!!
Erik: I will destroy all evil!
You hideous clown!!
I will destroy your ugly face and take back the princess!!
Clown: Hohohohoh
You talk big, but lets see if you’ve got what it takes!
008
Clown: Hahah!
Erik: Yah!!
Clown: Hohoho!!
Erik: Hi-yah!!
Kid: Don’t lose!!
Prince Erik!!
Erik: Nugh!!
Clown: Hohoho!
Erik: Nughaaa!!
Kid: Oh no!!
Watch out Prince Erik!!
Clown: HOhoho!!!
Erik: Guaaah!!
Clown: Hohohohohoho!!!
Erik: Gyaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!
Kid: Uh…
Prince Erik?
(TN- Shunpei’s expression is priceless.)
009
Clown: The only reason why you can hold your head up high is because you’ve got a nice looking face!!! How can you understand my feelings…
As someone who isn’t the same?!
You’ll destroy all evil?
Well today YOU’RE the evil one!!
Mom: Don’t look!
Quickly! Let’s go home!
Clown: Being defeated is the only evil!!
Go to hell Prince crappy!!
HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!
HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!
Shunpei: What’s up with this show?!
???: And so splendidly…
Did the heroic clown defeat the evil prince….
010
???: And then lived happily…
With the Princess Monica for many many years.
Shunpei: No way…this guy…
???: It is so.
I will be your next opponent.
011
Shunpei: Eh---?!
???: Follow me.
Hyde: Heh, I guess I must be gettin’ good at this, to think that coming out here would lead us to our next target.
Heh
So now what buddy? You gonna start this dance off?
???: The legendary magical king Closer’s blood pumps through you Closer-sama.
Of course I will in grand fashion…
Engage you in battle for it…
012
???: I’m sorry for not saying so earlier…
My name is Kefman.
I have journeyed here Closer-sama to end your life, and start on a new stage magician hood.
Hohohoho
It is a pleasure to meet you…
Hyde: Man…
You’re beginning to make me wish I had kept walking.
013
Hyde: We ain’t gonna let some soldier look alike come and do as he wishes!
Let’s do this Shun my boy, we’ll send this boy home crying!
Shunpei: Yeah!!
Hyde: Texas Chainsaw!!
Kefman: Masaka Marionette!!
014
Hyde: Get back Shun!!
015
Shunpei: Huh…
This---This is?!
Wires?!
Hyde: That’s some magic you got there!
Shunpei: Hyde?!
Hyde: My Texas chainsaw is a ‘destructive power.’ But it’s rather big and unwieldy….
That guy’s ‘Masaka Marionette’…
It’s a clean cut.
Touching the wire in any way is a game over.
So you’d better watch your back Shun my boy!
016
Kefman: Hoho…
It’s a splendid attack to see…
But you can’t understand it unless you feel it.
Of course it goes without saying it’s nearly impossible to see the wires and avoid them.
Or do you still have foolish hopes that you can do just that?
Hyde: Why is it that the small fries like to talk so big?
I can see your movements perfectly fine.
So the wires are no big deal!
Serves you right for being a one trick pony!!
017
Kefman: GYAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Shunpei: All right!!
Kefman: M-m-my arm!!
I-i-i-i-i-i-i-IT HURTS!!!
018
Hyde: Sorry, but that power’s just not enough.
Come back when you’ve grown up some.
Kefman: Hohoho…
I….
Don’t have enough power you say?
Hohohohoho
Hohohohohohohohohohohoho!!!
Shunpei: What’s with this guy?
Hyde: It’s not over yet…!!
019
Shunpei: What’s so funny?
Kefman: Hohohoho….
The two of you….
You actually thought for a moment you had clenched victory.
But you will never win!
Not as long as you have those two weaknesses!!
Shunpei: Two…..
Weaknesses?!https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/218[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 13 by Bomber D Rufi2008-08-19T00:46:52+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comNow that the project's ban has been removed *rimshot* I can get back to translating this great series! Here's 13!
Wolf: Koalasuke!
Hangin’ out here alone again? Good! ‘Cause I’m gonna eat ya!
Koala: Tasmanian Devilkichi!
I won’t let you lay a finger on this house!
Shunpei: Hyde….what are you watching?
Hyde: Huh? This?
‘The tale of Koalasuke.’ Or something like that.
It’s pretty good stuff.
Shunpei: Uh-huh….I see.
For someone who talks about being manly so much…
It’s weird to see that you like a kid’s television show.
002
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER Chapter 13: Gossip 2 ASOU HARO.
003
Shunpei: Snooore Snoore.
Hyde: Dang, I can’t sleep!
I know he’s got school in the morning, so he has to go to bed early..
But I can’t sleep this early.
Even if I stay awake though,
There’s not much to do is there?
What’s that?
004
Guy: Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhh
Gah..
Maaan…I’m not feeling so good.
I knew I shouldn’t have drank so much, but that stuff was great.
Hyde: Hey you there!
Guy: Huh?
Hyde: What are you doing there?
Guy: Whaaaaaaaat?! Who are you!!?
Hoooold on a minute. There’s no way that a teddy bear could be talking to me.
Damn, I guess I hit the sauce a little too hard.
Hyde: You’re dirtin’ up the front of my house with all of your noise.
Guy: Huuuh?
Who the hell do you think I am you little jerk?
005
Guy: I’m the man who can make crying brats shut up
The mad dog of the most feared third division!
Yakara Taizou-sama!
Hyde: Yakara-smakara,
All I know is that you’re an annoyance, and I’m gonna deal with ya.
Yakara: Aah!! OWOWOWOW!!!
My bad! My bad!!
Yakara: You’re not to bad bear!
But I haven’t even begun to get serious! Now it’s on!
Hyde: You’re one of them stubborn types ain’t ya?
Sorry pal, but you can just be an annoyance on your own.
Yakara: Hey….
If it’s cool with you, wanna get a drink?
006
Hyde: You’re packing heat?
Yakara: Yeah.
I’m going to take down a hit…
The guy ran away from the Bigumi 10 years ago, so it’s about time he got what’s coming to him.
(Handwritten- Maybe it’s just my age getting to me, but I’m sure that his friend is actually a stuffed bear…)
Yakara: This food’s so good it’ll turn your hair gray!
Hyde: Sounds like you’ve been through a lot.
Man Yakuza sound like they’re serious business.
007
Yakara: But I’m just lettin’ ya know it’s not like I’m scared of talking about guns and stuff, it just isn’t drinking conversation.
Hyde: So that’s how it is huh?
Though…
Are you really happy taking orders from someone else?
Yakara: You know…
I was thinking that getting injured and stuff isn’t any good.
This year I thought to myself that I’m not gonna stay on the bottom where I could get killed! I’m either going to rise up or get out.
(On cart- Oden) Yakara: I may have found something…
My big chance to move up the ladder!
Hyde: Big chance huh?
Hey gramps, one more glass.
Old man: Y---Yeah.
Hyde: So what, you’ve got some babe waiting for you or something?
Yakara: Heheh, Well something like that..
008
Yakara: I do happen to have a lady waiting for me…and a daughter.
Furthermore she’s got two more in the oven…due any day now.
Our family’s gonna get pretty big soon…
That’s why I have to find away to become big quickly, to bloom you see!!
Hyde: You’ve got a family…
Well then..
Isn’t it about time to knock this dangerous stuff off?
For their sake you should start acting more responsible shouldn’t you?
Yakara: I know all of that without you telling me!!
009
Yakara: I know I can’t keep messin’ around with the Yakuza if I wanna keep my life.
But I’m a man!
I can’t live any other way than this! No matter how much I try to wash my hands they get dirty again!!
Sure I was young and stupid when I first decided to hook up with this gang,
When I got into the mob, the boss and the others kept lookin’ at me like ‘what’s HE good for?’
So I decided that I’m gonna rub someone out to prove that I’m useful!
Then those fools won’t be able to say that I ain’t worth nothing!
They’d know that I’m just as good as anyone else up in our mob!
It’s now or never!
If there’s something that has to be done, a man’s just gotta do it!
That’s right…
It’s all for my family!!
010
Hyde: Whaddya mean ‘for my family?’
Aren’t you just trying to act big?
It’s too funny.
Yakara: Wha---
What’d you say?
Whatcha tryin’ to get at?!
Hyde: If you really want to protect them…
You wouldn’t need to explain yourself with lame reasons like those.
You’d take the day you said you were going to..
And stay near them, embracing them with both hands. That’s what a REAL man would do.
What you’re doing now is just running around and being a punk.
011
Hyde: Quit messin around and get some self respect.
012
Yakara: Geh!!
Yakuza: Yakara-san, you’ve been up with the mob for a long time now.
How long are you gonna just coast by without doing anything?
Yakara: Damn…!!
I’m getting sick of this whole thing!!
Girl: Daddy!
013
???: What do you think you’re doing Taizou?
Yakara: Boss!!
I thought I’d find a sleezeball like you hanging out in a dump like this.
So, let me in on your thinkin’ process now.
‘Cause I’m pretty interested…you wouldn’t be thinking of trying to get out huh Taizou!
Yakara: It ain’t like that!
I was just…
It’s just that I had something I really needed to protect….yanno?
….Boss.
Yakuza: Huh?
014
Yakara: I’m gonna…
I’m gonna get clean.
Yakuza: Oooh man.
You made a big mistake…
All right then…
If you wanna get clean I’ll help ya’ Taizou!!
Hell!
I’ll clean you so good there’ll be nothin’ left!
Hyde: I get it…
Let’s make this quick then!!
015
Yakuza: Umph! Ow! Oof!
GYAHHHHH!!!!
Yakuza: ..B…Boss?!
Boss!!!
016
Hyde: If you’ve got a problem….
You boys can take it up with me!!
Yakuza: Wha..
This dude’s the real thing man!!
{Don’t notice Hyde standing below them.}
Yakuza: eeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaah!!!
Yakara: Yo—You…
Why’d you come?
017
Hyde: You forgot this.
Yakara: My Wallet?
I forgot my wallet huh?
Geez I dunno where my head be at sometimes…
Hyde: Heh….
You’re an annoying guy till the end.
Don’t go forgetting what’s important next time.
Yakara: Yeah…
018
Shunpei: Hyde, you’re watching that again?
Quit being such a kid!
Hyde: Really?
I got a story you need to hear…
Taz: Geez!!
I got beat up again!
Why can’t I beat you Koalasuke?!
Koala: Keep on coming, and I’ll keep sending you home!
I’ve got a family to protect!!
Hyde: Well Shun my boy….maybe it’s just too soon for you to understand.https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/208[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 12 by Bomber D Rufi2008-07-15T01:10:56+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comAll right! Done with translations for the day. I hope you all enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed doing them. This chapter was especially nice. I hope that at the end of this series we get to see how much Shunpei has matured.
(TN- The huge amount of text above is simply reiterating the story so far. Scantlators (or scantlator) can either erase it, leave it as is, or simply put their own summary of the story so far. Well…as I type this Volume 2 is available and probably won’t have this text, so you have the choice of waiting for those scans too. I guess Sunday felt for their 50th anniversary they should get new fans acquainted with the series in the magazine. )
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER>
(Side text- This week is a new development!)
Boy: Guah!
Shunpei! It’s headed your way!!
It’s up to you!
Hit a goal!
Shunpei: Whaaat?! Mee?!
No wait! I can’t be scared of it anymore!
I’m not the same guy I was before!!
I’ll make an epic score never seen before!
From here on in, everyone’s gonna be telling stories about me!

MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER.
Act 12: Gossip 1
(Side text- So you can’t even do this much?!)
ASOU HARO
(Side Text- The first volume of the manga is out in stores!)
Shunpei: Gyahhhh!!!
Boy: What.
Was. That.
003
Shunpei: Siiiigh…
And as usual…
The only thing I did epically was fail.
Hyde: Of course you will if you think that way all of the time Shun!
Shunpei: You just don’t understand people’s feelings…
Being awesome is difficult…
I wish I could be like you and Grandpa Hyde.
I want to be a really awesome guy.
Hyde: Say Shun.
Shunpei: What?
Hyde: What is it to you that makes an awesome guy?
Do you have any sort of qualifications?
(Side Text: Shunpei is a boy who looks down on himself, and as such his classmate Uryuu Tatsumi didn’t think much of him either. However a mysterious enemy attacking from the shadows soon turned the two rivals into good friends. Now with Hyde’s strength Shunpei and Tatsumi will stand against future threats.)
004
Shunpei: Huh?
When I grow up,
I’m going to be a big and strong man like Grandpa!
Shunpei: A cool guy…
What do I think?
005
Kid: I got it!
Ok what’s my next target?
(Side Text- Closer Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.)
Kids: Dead center!!
Little kid: Wow that’s so cool!
Big nose: Hehe well I am pretty awesome.
Fatty: But we’re all out of targets now…so there’s nothing to do.
Big nose: How about we use your robot there for our next round then?
Little kid: Huh?
No..no way!
He’s off limits!
(Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the sole purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather.)
006
Little kid: If I let you use him, you’ll just smash him up won’t you?
Big nose?: Just let me see him for a second! It’ll be fine.
After all, don’t you want to witness some more of my awesomeness?
Little kid: No I don’t care! Stop it!
Fatty?: Don’t be so stingy!
Just hand it over quickly!
Hyde: Shun?
???: Ri-kun!
Minori-kun!
007 Shunpei: What are we going to play today?
Minori: We could go play games at my house..
I just got a new one the other day.
Shunpei: Whaat? Video games again?
Wouldn’t it be more fun to play outside?
Minori: But…
Ever since I was born my body’s been kind of weak..
And so I’ve been told not to play outside for my sake.
Shunpei: Just a minute won’t hurt you!
And besides, if you stay inside all of the time you won’t grow up to be a cool dude!
Minori: But…
Shunpei: Just come on already!!
First let’s have a race to the park!!
Minori: o—Okay.
(Side Text- Alshid Closer: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. His current whereabouts are unknown…and its because Shunpei inherited his magical power that magicians are after his life.)
008
Minori: Hey Shunpei-kun…
It’s about time I headed home..
I’m feeling really tired now…
Shunpei: Whaat?
But we’ve barely begun to play!
Let’s play a bit more.
009
Shunpei: Ok, next we’ll go and climb that!
Whomever can get to the top first will be coolest dude ever!
Just a bit more..
I did it! I climbed up!
I’m pretty awesome aren’t I?
All right Minori-kun, you climb up too there’s still more—
010
Shunpei: Minori-kun?!?!
011
Alshid: My deepest apologies.
My boy Shun didn’t understand his sickness that well and asked him to come out and play.
Mom: That child was warned by his doctor not to go out and play because of his condition!
It’s quite fortunate that nothing serious happened to him today,
But what if he hadn’t been able to get help fast enough? What could have happened?
I can’t forgive this ever!!
Please just never approach Minori-kun again!
Alshid: I’m really…
Sorry about everything.
You can’t be so reckless Shun my boy.
Next time you have to be more careful.
012
Shunpei: But I really didn’t know…
That Minori-kun’s sickness was really that bad….
I just wanted us to have fun outside like real men would…
Isn’t that what you said Grandpa?
Alshid: I may have said that, but energy doesn’t make the man.
Shun my boy…
Didn’t you notice that Minori kid’s pain?
You can’t always make everything about you.
Shunpei: I understand that…
But I was climbing the tree in a daze…
Because I wanted Minori-kun to see how cool I am.
Alshid: Man…
You don’t get it at all Shun my boy.
013
Alshid: That isn’t what’s called cool at all.
Shunpei: Well then…what does a cool dude look like?
What kind of person is he?
Alshid: That Shun my boy…
Is something you have to find on your own.
However if you can’t find the answer despite searching..
I’ll give you an answer when I’ve returned from my next journey.
014
{And with that Grandpa was gone.}
{He left for Africa, and while Letters did come for a bit, they soon stopped completely…}
Little kid: Stop it!
???: It’ll be fine! Just let me see it!
Hyde: Shun?
Shunpei: You guys.
015
Shunpei: If he says he doesn’t want to, you should stop it.
Think about the feelings of other people when you play.
016
Fatty: Look at him with that weak face of is.
Big nose: Shut your face ugly!
Let’s use him then!
{Bottom text: Warning, do not use toy guns on other people.}
Fatty: That was refreshing!!
Big nose: Who needs the robot? Lets get out of here.
{Bottom text: Warning, don’t shoot people to refresh yourself.}
Little kid: M—Mister? You okay?
Shunpei: Ow ow ow….
Kid: Yo…You know…
This robot…
I didn’t let go of it because it’s the last thing that my Daddy bought for me…
That’s why….
Thanks for protecting it…
Mister!
Shunpei: I see…
Well then…
017
Shunpei: I’m glad it didn’t get broken.
But It’s really lame….
To be called ‘mister’ by an elementary school student.
Little kid: It is really.
Hyde: Man.
You really don’t get it Shun my boy.
018
Hyde: This is what I’d call being a good man.
(Side text- Watching over the flowing tears of a stranger, Shunpei extends his gentleness.)

Be sure to read my PSA (Public Service Annoucement) on my signature folks. '
And a note on this chapter...I found the ending very poetic. I hope that Asou has more punishments that are as interesting as this one.
(Side text- In order to drain the power from the enemy doll, turning off the lights is necessary…however, the switch has been guarded by the magic power ‘Entry’ )
Bags: Everything in this world…
Goes according to my plans!
Shunpei: !!
Th-This is..
‘Entry?’
Bags: Looks like you’ve run out of ideas!
You brats and that bear of yours…
Are going to be cut up and served with my breakfast!!

MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! Hyde and Closer Act 11: Shadow portrait 4
(Side text- The anticipated First Volume will be available March 18th!!)
(Side bottom- The bear fights on!)
Hyde: Hah…Hah…
ASOU HARO
003
Seyabde: Heheh
It’s a wonderful feeling seeing you all banged up like this..
Soon you won’t even be able to stand up anymore will ya?
It’s hilarious…heheheh
You actually thought you could take Bags down!!
But instead what you’re faced with is sudden death!
And that little brat’s flawed plan has fallen apart too…
And now you’ll die in vain here!!
Hyde: Shut your mouth small fry.
Seyabde: Huh?!
Hyde: You can’t get the fire without getting the heat right?
That’s why I’m not losing my composure.
When the time comes to kill, I know I’ve got to do it.
004
Hyde: Don’t continue to look at Shun as some kind of naiieve kid.
Or else you might end up regretting it later.
(Side Text: The Magicians are on the move, and for that reason the stuffed bear Hyde with Shunpei wage battle against them. The Middle school student Closer Shunpei, who doesn’t have confidence in himself is now trapped in school with his classmate Uryuu Tatsumi, as a mysterious being creeps near them ready to attack. Seyabde has appeared from the darkness, and using his shadow powers he wages war against Hyde and Shunpei as Bags watches in the back. The time has come to counterattack!!)
Seyabde: No matter what I do..
You just continue to be a cheeky bastard!!
Bags: Heehehe…
So what now?
That bear of yours isn’t looking so hot.
At most he’s got what…a minute? Maybe two before he’s sawdust?
All the while the two of you can only watch as he gets what’s coming to him.
Hehe
Kuahahahahah!! Shunpei: No way..
We came so far…
005
Shunpei: We’ve come so far, and the switch is right in front of us…
Just for this to….
Damn it..
DAMN IT!!!
Tatsumi: Closer-kun…
Tatsumi: We don’t have the time to start feeling bad for ourselves!
Think about it!
(Side Text- Closer Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.)
006
(Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the sole purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather.)
Tatsumi: Hyde-kun believes in you and that’s why he’s fighting so hard!!
That’s why we can’t just give up!
Shunpei: Uryuu-san…
Tatsumi: Think about it!!
What is it that you can do?
Until the very end…
We can’t let that crazy jerk win against him! Would you be satisfied with that!!!
Bags: Heheh
That’s some pretty heartwarming stuff but..
What do you think you can possibly do in this situation?
The switch is inaccessible now,
And Seyabde’s shadow attacks can’t be stopped any other way!
007
Tatsumi: The shadows…
Can’t be stopped?
That’s it!
Closer-kun, follow me here!
Shunpei: Huh?
(Side Text- Uryuu Tasumi, a girl who is in the same class as Shunpei. She loves gangster flicks, and is an otaku for heroism. She doesn’t think very much of the not very manly Shunpei.)
Shunpei: The Acting club…
The storage room?
What are we doing here?
Tatsumi: This!
(Handwritten- To the Acting club members, Everyone please remember to return your umbrellas here! They aren’t for you to take home! If each one disappears, what do you think we’ll do then?! Leader)
Shunpei: Umbrellas?
Tatsumi: Right now the Multipurpose room is 2 floors above right?
These umbrellas are the only chance we have to guard against the lights!
Shunpei: Huuuh?
But how are we going to use something like that?!
008
Tatsumi: Worry about that later! Hurry up!
Just believe in me!
Shunpei: O---Okay!!
Shunpei: Hyde!
Hyde: Heheh
What are you doing standing around Shun my boy.
I’m expecting big things from you. Otherwise why would I wait?
Shunpei: Hyde!
For me you’d….
But you’re so messed up!
009
Tatsumi: What are you doing!!
Hurry up Closer-kun!
We have to save Hyde-kun right?
Shunpei: Bu—But Uryuu-san..!
How is something like this going to stop Seyabde?
(Seyabde: A puppet who uses the power of shadows to attack his foes. He hates anyone that gets in his way.)
Tasumi: Soft light!!
Shunpei: Soft Light?!
(Side text- Bags, Seyabde’s controller. He is one of the magicians after Shunpei’s life.)
Tatsumi: I’ve seen it before on stage as a photography method. They call it a diffuser that makes objects semi transparent through an illumination filter.
It creates an effect that shatters light scattering it around!!
010
Tasumi: In this room now we should be able to…
Use this method to break apart the lights and make them too thin to make shadows out of!
Seyabde: Wha..
You—you fools!
What the heck are you planning?!
Tatsumi: In a situation like this, the soft lights will..
Completely destroy
All of the shadows!!
Seyabde: Wha..what?!
Shunpei: A—Amazing!
You’re Amazing Uryuu-san!!
Tatsumi: If you have to be amazed, be amazed at Takakura Jin’s movies! It’s a dream of mine…
To become someone as amazing as him! I take my life lessons from his movies!
011
Tatsumi: Next up is that light there…
It’s the last one so once we get to….
Hu…
No way!
It’s so far away?!
Why?!
Yesterday I’m sure that this light was over in this area here…
Could It be during class yesterday someone moved it?!
Seyabde: Hehehe
I almost wet myself there!
You brats had me a little worried, but in the end you fell short!
012
(Side Text- Alshid Closer: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. His current whereabouts are unknown…and its because Shunpei inherited his magical power that magicians are after his life.)
Seyabde: Next up on our special little show here will be the death of one teddy bear!
And as a follow up performance, your deaths!
This world is going completely according to my plan!
And there’s nothing you can do!
Tatsumi: N—No…
And we’ve come this far…
Just a little bit more…we were so close!
Shunpei: We can’t give up yet Uryuu-san!
I can’t give up,
Not to a crazy jerk like this guy…
And be satisfied!!
Tatsumi: Closer-kun!!
014
Seyabde: No---No way!!
My shadow!!
Shunpei: Guwah!!
Seyabde: Eep!
Hyde: I guess that your plans aren’t so flawless…
Because from my view of this world, they’re spinning out of control.
But that’s fine too…
It’ll give you something good to study in the afterlife.
Seyabde: Wa—Wait a sec!
I get it!
I was the one at fault!
Hyde: See ya in hell…
Small fry.
Seyabde: I—
I’m sorry!!
015
016
Shunpei: Ow ow o wow!!
That really hurts!!
Police officer: You two sure had it rough!
However it’s thanks to you that we managed to catch the culprit.
So rest easy.
Also…
That Janitor is going to be fine.
His life isn’t in danger anymore.
Tasumi: That’s great!
Shunpei: Yeah!
Thanks a lot Uryuu-san…
However when something like that happens again promise me this…
That you’ll get far far away..!!
017
Tatsumi: Tatsumi’s fine…
Shunpei-kun!
But you can’t be distant with me anymore!
The jury’s still out on how reliable you are…
But at least for now since I know your secret, I can help.
Shunpei: Huh?
Tatsumi: I may not have the same strength as you do…
But when you’re having a tough time you know who to come to!
Shunpei: U…
Tatsumi-san…
Tatsumi: To be honest though….
Being with you today Shunpei-kun, I was able to experience a different kind of heart racing.
Shunpei: Huh….what?
018
Tatsumi: How do I put it…
So strong, reliable and stylish…
A man that fits the ideals that I want perfectly…
I wonder if this is what they call falling head over heels for someone? Shunpei: Huuuuh?!
Tatsumi-san?!
Tatsumi: Oh Hyde-kun…
Oh and By the way Shunpei-kun…
Shunpei: Yes? Tatsumi-san.
Tatsumi: That Bags person, his magical power worries me a bit.
Will he really go quietly with those police officers?
Shunpei: Don’t worry about that, it’ll be fine.
019
Shunpei: When a doll’s ‘core’ is destroyed, the opponent is ‘cursed’ for failing at his magic.
That ‘curse’ usually releases the magic that they inflicted back upon them.
Right now Bags is probably experiencing that curse…
As a repayment for his failed attempt on my life.
Police officer: Get in there!
For now on this’ll be your new home!
Bags: Dang.
To think I’d lose to a impudent brat like him..
Well I’ll swallow it for now.
Soon enough I’ll get myself a new doll…
And then I’ll roast that kid until he’s begging for mercy!!
Hehehe…
Police officer: What are you dawdling for?
Get in there quickly!
Bags: AUUUGH!!
Wh…Why?!
Police Officer: Hey…what’s wrong with you?
Bags: Ugghh…
020
Police Officer: You okay?
Bags: GYAHHHH!!!
Police Officer 2: What’s going on?
Police officer: This guy suddenly started yelling..
Bags: Gah…hah…
What the hell is going on here?
Wait…
Could it be my shadow?
Don’t come any closer!
Keep your distance from me!!
I’m begging you! Don’t enter my cell or get near me!!
Get away and stay away!!
I don’t want any shadows!
Take me somewhere where light can never reach!!
(TN- Wow…how poetic Asou-san.)
(Handwritten- And I did my very best today too…..)
(The Death match has ended, and now a new partner has joined the fray! New developments next issue!!)

(Box below- What is Wayang Kulit? Wayang Kulit is Indonesian shadow puppet storytelling. It was thought to have come about during the 10th century from the earliest writings and plays.

Act 10- Shadow Portrait 3
ASOU HARO
003
Hyde: Let’s do this small fry!
Seyabde: Hehehe..
That’s impossible.
Because before you can reach me I’ll cut off your shadow!
Shunpei: Hyde! Watch out for his shadow!
That’s the means that he uses to attack his opponent!!
Shadows are Seyabde’s best friend! So don’t get too close!
Hyde: Hmph!
Fits a doll like you!
Ugly mug like yours needs to use magic in the dark!
Because…
(Side Text: The Magicians are on the move, and for that reason the stuffed bear Hyde with Shunpei wage battle against them.

Seyabde has appeared from the darkness, and using his shadow powers he wages war against Hyde and Shunpei as Bags watches in the back. What will our heroes do!!)
004
Hyde: I’ll just use the shadows for myself too!!
(Side Text- Closer Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.)
Shunpei: That’s Hyde for ya!
In an instant, he’s got just enough space to move in for the kill!!
Bags: Kukuku…
You’re too soft kid!
005
Seyabde: Heheh
And now your shadow’s out of the picture…
So I’ll be glad to show you mine!!
Shunpei: Hyde!!
(Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the sole purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather.)
Tatsumi: Wh…what just happened?
Shunpei: It’s magic!
Seyabde is being controlled by Bag’s magic,
And he’s shut the lights off in this classroom, which gives him complete freedom in this room!!
If we don’t find a way to stop Bags…
This whole school will be Seyabde’s territory!
006
(Side Text- Alshid Closer: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. He went off to Africa where his whereabouts became a mystery.)
Tatsumi: The power supply room!
Right! We could go there!!
Shunpei: Huh?!
Tatsumi: When the Theater club have their practice meetings, they use the multipurpose room!
We could go there and have complete control over the lights since the Power supply room is nearby!
Your magic is sure to work there!!
Shunpei: Hyde, we’re going there!
If I can gain control of the lights by heading there…
Seyabde will lose all of his strength!!
Hyde: Heh.
It seems like you’re not going to freak out this time Shun my boy…
And instead you’re going to use your head.
007
(Side Text- Uryuu Tasumi, a girl who is in the same class as Shunpei. She loves gangster flicks, and is an otaku for heroism. She doesn’t think very much of the not very manly Shunpei.)
Hyde: You’re in rare form today with your confidence Shun!
I’m not a fan of using cheap tricks…
But I’m gonna let everything ride on you!
Tatsumi: Closer-kun! Hurry! The power supply room is this way!!
Shunpei: Uryuu-san?!
What are you doing Uryuu-san?
You can’t keep getting involved with me!!
Tatsumi: To be honest…
I’d love to find a place to run and hide right now!
But..
If I were to leave you here when you’re in trouble…
My sense of justice would never let me forgive myself!
008
Tatsumi: Besides that I want you to explain everything to me after we get out of this!!
Shunpei: Uryuu-san…
Tatsumi: It’s here!
(Sign- Multipurpose hall)
Tatsumi: Hurry up! Let’s get to the power supply room!
(Seyabde: A puppet who uses the power of shadows to attack his foes. He hates anyone that gets in his way.)
Bags: Hehehehe…
I thought you’d run in here…
You guys never cease to entertain me.
Shunpei: Huh?!
Seyabde: Everything within this world…
Is right in the palm of my ever deserving hands!
009
Shunpei: No way….!!
The shadow….!!
(Side text- Bags, Seyabde’s controller. He is one of the magicians after Shunpei’s life.)
Seyabde: And now you’ve just made it that much easier for me to attack you!
My shadows can multiply endlessly here!
This is the Buraddewayan’s true power!!
010
Seyabde: So now let’s bring this show to a close…
heheh
With a grand finale you’ll never forget!!
Shunpei: So this is what he was after from the start!!
Bags was waiting for us to cross into this room..
Crap!!
Hyde: Hey there Shun my boy…
I know you’ve got something else up your sleeve.
So while you get it together….
I’m going to teach this guy a lesson. Go into the next room quickly.
Shunpei: Hyde…
011
Hyde: This time you’ve shown you’ve got what it takes.
So I’m just gonna hang back this time and believe in you. Got it?
Seyabde: Huuuh?
Teach me a lesson?
You sure know how to run your mouth!
You aren’t getting to Bags alive!
I’ll take care of that wench and the brat first!
Shunpei: Hyde!!
Let’s go Uryuu-san!!
We’re only going to hold Hyde back if we stay here!!
Tatsumi: But…what will happen to Hyde-kun…
013
Shunpei: Just do as I say quickly!
Believe in Hyde!!
Tatsumi: …..Ok!!
Seyabde: You…how long do you think…
You can continue to stand in my way?
If you want to be a nuisance…
I’ll cut you into mincemeat!
Hyde: Heheh..
I don’t have a whole lot of time…
So I’m leaving it to you Shun!
014
Bags: Hehehe..
So you made it out here huh?
The switch that you’re looking for is here..
But do you honestly think that you two brats can handle me? An adult?
If you try anything funny, I’ll freakin’ kill you.
Sorry Closer, but I’m gonna get that power of yours!
The power of magic…
In summary the magical doll, can only be charged up when your heart has stopped beating!
015
Bags: So do me a favor and die,
Without making a huge fuss!!
Shunpei: This is my territory…
Bags: Hehe…
Are you some kind of idiot?
Remember! The barrier power can only protect those within the circle!
They don’t have any power to defeat me!!
Shunpei: And you can’t get out of there….
016
Shunpei: WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!
Bags: Wha…
What is this?
You can actually seal your opponent’s movments?
Bags: Chain?!
That’s impossible!! This guy…
When the hell did he gain a new spell!!
Shunpei: Since you’ve entered your own space…
The reversal is…
017
Shunpei: Not being able to enter mine right?
Bags: Wha…
{This guy actually can use the spell in such a way…?!}
{That brat…}
(Handwritten- Maaan that was close…)
{How is he getting so good and so quickly?!}
Tatsumi: I don’t get everything but…
You’re amazing Closer-kun!!
Shunpei: And with this Bags can’t lay a finger on us!
Bags: Crap…!!
Tatsumi: Right!
Now we can find the switch and shut off the lights!
Shunpei: Here goes!
018
Shunpei: This is…
Entry?!
Bags: Heheh
‘How the heck did this guy use entry from there?’
Is that what you’re thinking?
I already said it didn’t I? Everything in this world is within my expectations!!
Including that bear who’s going to get sliced into pieces..
And then served with my breakfast!
(Side text- And in one moment a total reversal!!)

Guy: What the hell do you want?!
You gonna mess with our gang?
You don’t even know this woman or nuttin do you ya punk?
So why you got a death wish huh?
(Side- To gain the spirit of a man….by watching movies?!)
Tough guy: I ain’t here to show you bastards the right path,
Or even to bring you some half eaten justice.
I just thought I’d bring you
A good view of hell bastards!
(Bottom- Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Closer.)
002
(Side- No no, its just normal movie watching night, in the middle of the normal battle. Yep.)
Hyde: Now this Takakura Jin guy is what a real man is made of.
Shunpei: Hyde, don’t forget though it’s just a TV Drama, and nothing more.
A guy like him couldn’t possibly exist in real life!
If it were me, I’d be so scared that I’d just take the girl’s hand and run away!

MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
(Bottom- The first Volume of the manga will be on sale March 18th!) Act 8: Shadow Portrait
(Side- 14 year old Closer Shunpei is currently in the middle of his own conflict!)
ASOU HARO.
004
Shunpei: You don’t need to say all of that…
Hyde: Oh yeah! Shun, I need you to get something for me.
Shunpei: Huh?
What?
Hyde: Just open my back zipper.
Shunpei: The Zipper?
O—Ok.
Shunpei: This…is?
Hyde: You can’t be tellin’ me you don’t remember ‘em?
Your granddad showed them to you right?
Shunpei: My Grandpa?
005
Hyde: So far Shun my boy, you’ve been showin’ off that mastery of the “Barrier” or “entry” magic.
However if you want the full effect of that spell you’ll need magic tools.
That’s where those “Barrier Stones” come in.
The “Barrier” or “Entry” stones will make your power even stronger than before.
That way you can polish your skills a bit.
Well before you can do that, it would be good to polish up your manly image a bit.
Maybe then you’ll even get a damsel in distress to save too.
Shunpei: Me?! A girl?!
That’s asking for a lot you know!!!
Side Text: In order to fight against the Magical powers that are moving against him, Shunpei enlists the aid of a stuffed bear named Hyde. The Magicians of the world are all aiming for his life, although he recently found a partner in his upper classmate Shindou, who has pledged his life to help him. However all kinds of new and mysterious foes are still out there as a new arc in Shunpei’s troubles begin!
Hyde: That Drama thing just ended!
You’d think a man could at least say see ya or something like that…
Shunpei: Sorry about that Hyde…But you can always hope that they’ll have a rerun again sometime soon.
Hyde: You’re naiieve Shun my boy!
We’ll be seeing it much sooner than you think!
I already taped it before.
Shunpei: Whoa! When did you find time to do that?
Hyde: At the very beginning Shun my boy! Lets watch one more time!
Shunpei: From the beginning again?!
(Side text- Give me a break!)
006
Shunpei: Gwaaaaaahhhh!!!
I overslept!!!
It’s all Hyde’s fault! He wanted to watch that Drama three times and I ended up sitting through all of them!
(Handwritten Hyde- This guy is really interesting! You could learn something Shun my boy.)
Shunpei: I shouldn’t have stayed up so late!!
Hyde: You shouldn’t blame your problems on someone else ya know Shun, I didn’t stop you from going to bed.
(Sfx-*Kuii* Squeeze.)
???: Hey there girlie!
What the hell do you think that you’re doing?
Your dog came out of nowhere and started yapping
And our boss got so surprised that he spilled his ice cream on his suit!!
007
Lady: I…I’m sorry…!!
(Sfx-*Kyuu kyuu.*)
Punk: If sorry was worth crap, we wouldn’t need the damn police would we?!
Punk2: ‘The hell YOU looking at?
Side Text- Closer Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.

{Uwaaahhh!! What will I do?!}
{Why are those scary looking guys hanging out here of all places in the morning?!}
{I’m sorry lady, I WOULD save you, but then I’d need saving myself!}
{I’ll just head off in the other direction!}
Girl: Hey you guys there! What are you doing!!
Punks: Huuuh?
What the hell do you want?!!
008
Girl: So what if a little Chiwawa was barking?
So what if the Ice cream got spilled?
Only a petite little man would let it bother him!
Shunpei: That’s Uryuu-san…
From my class?!
Tatsumi: Is it really so big of a deal that all of you need to hang out in the middle of the street harassing people?!
(TN- Yes I know her name isn’t revealed in full until later, but I like her given name better than her last….and yes Uryuu is the same kanji as the glasses guy in Bleach.)
Punk: Whad’cha say?!
You tryin’ to start somethin’?
{Don’t start something!!}
Tatsumi: I ain’t here to discuss who’s right or wong,
Nor am I gonna start talking about what I believe in.
Nah, this ain’t the time to say such pointless stuff.
009
Tatsumi: I’m not going to put you on the right path,
Or give you some half eaten justice.
Punks: Huh?
Wh—what the hell?
Tatsumi: No I’m just going to…
Bring you a taste of hell!
Shunpei: J---
She’s totally acting out the drama!!
(TN- 110 is the Japanese equivalent of 911.)
010
Tatsumi: Hello? Police?!
I’ve got some pretty shady looking characters here in the process of disturbing the peace!
Um the current address is…
Punks: Ugahaaaa! What the hell is up with this kid?
What a pain!!
Let’s just get the hell out of here!
Woman: U…um…
I really appreciate all of your help,
I am totally in your debt!
Tatsumi: Just doing my part of protecting the peace ma’am!
You’re Closer-kun! We’re in the same class right!?
Shunpei: Ah…Good morning Uryuu-san…
Tatsumi: And what were you doing just then?
That poor girl was in trouble, and you just STOOD right there without helping?!
011
Tatsumi: You’re the WORST kind of person!
Shunpei: Bu—But those guys were…
Tatsumi: So what? You could have done something against those losers!
Just sit there and pick up the pieces of your human chivalry! I don’t even want a weakling like you to walk in my shadow!
Shunpei: You say that, but we DO go to the same school you know… As usual…
I totally suck don’t I….
Huh…
Crap! I AM late for class aren’t I?!
I totally forgot!!
012
Tatsumi: Just in time!!
Girl: Good morning Tatsumi!
Tatsumi: Good morning!
Guy*: As usual you come in every morning chipper and almost yelling at everyone you see Uryuu….
Tatsumi: Better than always whispering like you!
(*Tn- This guy appeared in an earlier chapter, but I totally forgot his name….)
(Box- Struck out.)
Tatsumi: Hey hey! Did you guys watch it?
Yesterday’s ‘Country wide Chivalry movement’?!
There was a weak girl that needed saving from a dangerous situation, and just when it looked really bad….
The strong Takakura Jin came in and saved her with his hotblooded manliness! It was totally awesome!!
That man always gets me going!
Girl: It’s started again, Tatsumi’s over the top fangirling…
Guy: Once she starts, she’s never gonna stop…
013
Tatsumi: You know, I’ve always though that it would be awesome if I could Shadow Takakura Jin-sama and learn his ways!
(Handwritten- Now this is living!!)
(Sfx-*Zabaaaa* Splaaaash)
Tatsumi: I’ve been training day in and day out so I can pull it off sometime!
(Box- Imagined self image.)
Guy: Uryuu’s defiantly changed a lot hasn’t she?
Girl: Yeah..
Tatsumi: This morning however, I’m sure Jin-sama would have been disappointed in a certain Closer-kun.
Shunpei: Eeeh?!
Guy: What? What’s up with you Uryuu? Something happen between you and Closer?
Tatsumi: Nothing much.
Guy: I don’t really get the whole thing but…
It seems to me that you might hate Shunpei or something like that Uryuu?
Guy: Hey Shunpei,
I’m going to be headed out first.
Shunpei: Huh….why?
Guy: it’s your shift today isn’t it?
014
(Board- Closer and Uryuu.)
{WHAAAAT?!}
Guy: See you tomorrow!
Tasumi: What are you so surprised about?
So the two of us have duty together. Big deal.
We’ve got to go out and clean up the trash, so you can tag along…
However…
I don’t want the two of us walking too close together while we’re out there.
I’d rather not be associated with a weakling like you.
Shunpei: Y…You’re kidding!!
Wait! Uryuu-san!!
015
???: Kukuku..
Janitor: You there!
You can’t enter these grounds this late of night because they’re off limits.
Why would you even come to a place like this anyway?
???: Can’t you see old man?
I’m here because I have business in school.
Janitor: You’re really suspicious!
Lets take a walk over here and discuss things.
Now come with me for just a moment…
Ugh!!
???: Do you know whom it is that you’re addressing?
016
???: You listening? Everything in this world is soon to be in the palm of my very deserving hands.
I don’t need you to get in my way.
You’re…
No more than an insolent bug!
Janitor: Huh?!
A Shadow?!
017
Janitor: Uwaaaaaahhhhh!!!
(Sign- Power room.)
???: Kukuku
Now its time to prepare my stage.
I’m going to put on a little show….starting now!
Shunpei: Whoa! What the?!
Powerout?
018
(Side Text- An enemy that uses shadow puppetry creeps near! Can Shunpei battle his enemy, and protect Tatsumi?!)
Tatsumi: Aww come on! Why did this have to go and happen?
And I’m all alone in this place too….
Shunpei: I don’t exist because of what happened this morning?!
Wait!
Theres a light!
I wonder why it’s coming from that room there though…
Wait….
Not now! No way!

Right now Shunpei is engaged in a battle with one of these magicians Shindou, and his doll Tomiko…Victory is?!
Shindou: To….TOMIKO!!!!
You idiot! You’re supposed to protect your master!!
Instead you’d really allow yourself to be swallowed by these flames?
And you think that this will defeat Tomiko?
N….
No Way!!
Shunpei: This is my territory!
And not even flames are allowed to invade…
003
Shunpei: WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!
004
Shunpei: Hah Hah….
Shindou: A barrier…
Just over the flames?!
{That Bear, from the very beginning knew about all of his movements?}
Hyde: Hey hey Shun my boy…
Who said that we’d go along with something like this?
Geez,
You know your planning is a 100 years too slow to keep up with someone like me…
Shunpei: Wh…What are you saying?
If I weren’t here You would have been made mince meat Hyde!!
Hyde: I would have figured out something on my own!
005
Shunpei: Well what would you have done if the fire had caught you?
Hyde: A man would have survived on his fighting spirit alone!
Shunpei: As usual you don’t make any sense!
{The two of them, how could their bond of trust possibly be this strong?}
{This is completely…}
{Despicable!}
Side Text- Crowther Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.

This pain….
Kyaha kyaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Shindou: Tomiko!! Tomiko: My ‘Resolve…’
Is weaker than yours you say?!
This pain….
This flame…
Will never be enough!
006
Tomiko: For Shindou-sama’s…
Sake!!
Hyde: A lady’s gotta know when to give in.
Otherwise she’ll just be seen as an annoyance.
Shindou: Tomiko! Stop this!!
The match has been decided!
Tomiko: Shindou-sama….
Mom: Sousuke….
This Japanese doll Tomiko…
Is a doll that has been passed through our family for generations now.
The time has come for you to possess it.
Shindou: Yes mother!
007
Shindou: My name is Shindou Sousuke!
Pleased to meet you Tomiko!
Tomiko!
Just when we were becoming friends…
Its lonely being the new student and all..
So I brought this as goodwill.
Boy: Cheh…
It’s all of your fault.
Shindou: Hey Grandpa?
Why is it that whenever I make friends,
They always end up moving far away?
Grandpa: Well that is you know young master..
Hohohoho…
008
Grandpa: This city has been completely bought over by your father for your sake.
All of the urchin have been moved to some other area.
Hohohoho…
Shindou: What?
Why would you do such a thing father?!
Side Text- Shindou, A classmate of Shunpei, although he’s an upperclassman. Has a normal honor roll student’s appearance, but is in fact one of the magicians out for Shunpei’s life. He uses and loves the Japanese doll Tomiko.
Father: You’re part of the Shindou dynasty, and as such you whould be affliated with great people.
Or are you not yet conscious of this?
The humans on the top are of course naturally those who do not form bonds, and strive in solitude.
Such foolishness as friendship is not important for someone like you!!
009
Shindou: Tomiko…
You’ll always be by my side right?
Thank you…Tomiko.
Shindou: Guah!!
Tomiko!!
Side Text- Tomiko, a magical doll controlled by Shindou, can make her hair longer and use the magical spell Mozanhagu as an offensive attack.
Dad: Never!
Mom: Dear! That doll is the only….
Dad: I don’t know anything about that tradition that your family has..
But I know that I won’t let my son Sousuke be dirtied up by it!
Quickly go out and burn that thing!!
010
Shindou: Father!
I’ve been studying and training to be the top person like you’ve always told me to!
All so that I’d become this great person that you wanted me to be!
That’s why…
You owe me at least Tomiko!
I won’t let you or anyone do anything to her!!
Damn!
Don’t disappear!
Tomiko: Guh…
Shindou-sama?!
Shindou: Please! Don’t disappear on me! You can’t!!
Shunpei: Shindou-Senpai…
Shindou: Tomiko…Mother told me this..
That you were made to look like a real person…
A young beautiful maiden who didn’t have a husband named ‘Tomiko.’
011
Shindou: The soul of that lady..
Is within you now isn’t it?
Hey Tomiko..
I didn’t tell mother, but I’ve been learning a bit of magic.
I’m not good at it yet…
But someday I’ll become a really great magician…and then..
I’ll turn you into a beautiful human girl…and then..
I’ll take your hand Tomiko…as my darling wife.
TOMIKO!!
Tomiko: Shindou-sama!!
012
Hyde: Shun?
Shunpei: This is my territory..
And not even flames are allowed to invade…
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
013
Shindou: Tomiko!!
Tomiko: Shindou-sama!
Hyde: Hey Shun…
You sure that’s a good idea? These guys are part of the group that wants to see you in a casket..
Why would you help ‘em out?
Shunpei: Why…
I guess its because…
I’d feel bad if I were the one who..
Tore these two people who love each other so much apart.
Hyde: That’s pretty naiieve.
If you keep that up, you’ll be numbering your days.
Shunpei: I don’t think so..
At least…not in this case.
Shindou: Tomiko! Thank goodness!
I’m so very happy….!!
014
Shunpei: I think that this is for the best.
Shindou: Crowther-kun…
You won…
I’m very sorry for everything.
I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive what I have done.
That is..
015
Shindou: Thank you for saving Tomiko…
You have my gratitude.
Shunpei: Ah…its no big deal..
That’s…
I just thought you two looked better as a couple.
(Handwritten.- It looked like you’d really burn..)
Shindou: I know!
How about you come over to my house and have some fine dining? I have cooks there that would make food to die for!
Or In fact I could bring you to school in a limo every day…
Shunpei: Th…that’s fine! I’m good!
Hyde: Shun my boy…
You’re naive…painfully so.
However..
016
{That naivety..someday…}
{Will become a big help to you when you least expect it.}
Shindou: You should be more careful from now on, more magicinans will be after you.
Keep your guard up.
Shunpei: Ok!
Shindou: Hyde kun!
You’re one of Alshid Crowther’s works aren’t you?
He gave you life to protect that boy?
However I get the feeling that your ‘magical power’ is much more different than that of a normal ‘magical doll.’
You seem to be an anomaly of sorts.
017
Shindou: I don’t suppose that Crowther-kun knows just how little magical power you actually have in that body…
Because you’re keeping it secret right?
Hyde: Well…
You guys better not worry and remember today…
Shunpei: Hey Hyde?
Hyde: huh?
Shunpei: What were you and Shindou-senpai talking about?
Hyde?
Hyde: Its none of your concern Shun my boy.
Now…
Isn’t the time.
Shunpei: ..You’re weird Hyde.
Side text- A new revelation? The mystery of Hyde’s limited lifespan is…
And next time a new development starts!!
Hyde: By the way Shun my boy..

002
Side text- Aiming for Shunpei’s life…
Shindou: Fufufu…
I wonder how your ‘resolve’
Will fare against me?
You look surprised to se me.
Shunpei: Huh?
No way!!
Shindou-Senpai?!
Side text (Bottom.)- Shindou draws closer!!
Shindou: However…
If its ‘resolve’ My Tomiko is here for that….
003
Shindou: And our love can pierce through anything….
Even that ‘Resolve’ if it means your death!
Shunpei: Uwaaaah!! Uwahhhhhh!!!
Hah…
Hah…
Hah…
Hah…
Side Text- Previous issues….The newest enemy is a Japanese doll being wielded by Shindou-senpai!
004
Shunpei: But Shindou-Senpai! You’re an amazing person already!
Why?!
Shindou: For love.
Shunpei: Love?
Shindou: Generation in, and Generation out, my family has always passed down these Japanese dolls. However for me Tomiko is…
A love which has moved my heart.
Shunpei: Huh.
Shindou: However this is a love that cannot be as it were.
No one would accept a doll and a human being in a relationship you see…
Shunpei: Your point….?
Shindou: That’s why I’ll…
005
Shindou: Use Alshid Crowther’s Magical Power…
And turn my beloved Tomiko into a beautiful human woman.
Aa…Tomiko I love you so much…
I…
Tomiko: I love you too..
Shindou-Sama.
Shindou: For your sake I can do anything!
No matter what it takes!
Tomiko: Because of your amazing ‘Resolve’ I feel ready Shindou-Sama.
Shunpei: Ah?!
006
Shunpei: This guy’s NUTS!!!!
Shindou: Fufu…
Where do you plan on running?
This room is sealed off you know.
Shunpei: Wah!!
Shindou: My Beloved Tomiko’s magic is the ‘Mozanhag’ which wraps anything that it touches up.
Shunpei: Egh!!
Side Text- Crowther Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.
Shindou: And let’s assume that your friend was physically able to come in here, which I doubt…
There would be no way that he could possibly get through all of that hair to come to your aid.
If you get it, you should just stop this nonsense.
007
Shindou: I won’t allow you to touch a hair on my beloved….
Tomiko’s hair.
Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the soul purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather
Shunpei: Hy…
HYDE!!!!!
Hyde: Shun my boy…
Don’t freak out!
Shunpei: Huh?
008
009
Shindou: Guh!!!
Shunpei: Hyde!!!!
(Handwritten- You came just like I believed you would!!)
Hyde: Shun my boy, sorry to keep ya waiting.
I’ll tell ya about it later.
Let’s start up our counterattack!
Shunpei: Yeah!!!
Side Text- Alshid Krowther: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. He went off to Africa where his whereabouts became a mystery.
Shunpei: Texas Chainsaw!!
010
Shindou: Are you hurt Tomiko?
Tomiko: Shindou-sama…
Shindou: I’m glad that none of those glass shards hit you…
Tomiko: Shi….
Shindou-sama!!
Side Text- Shindou, A classmate of Shunpei, although he’s an upperclassman. Has a normal honor roll student’s appearance, but is in fact one of the magicians out for Shunpei’s life. He uses and loves the Japanese doll Tomiko.
Hyde: Hey this one may be a bit more difficult to deal with than the other guys we’ve had to greet.
We’d be best not to underestimate this guy Shun my boy.
Shunpei: Huh?
What do you mean?
Hyde: Ordinarily, the magician is the guy who works behind the scenes,
While he uses his ‘magical power’ to send his doll out to the dirty work.
Handwritten- Ahahahah!!
Doll- Kill!!
011
Hyde: Only a little bit of power can be sent to the doll from a distance though..
So you can bet that if the doll user and doll are next to each other the power goes up incredibly.
Of course there’s the huge risk that when a magician enters battle with his doll that he’ll get attacked and bumped off.
If this happens, the doll without question stops moving and becomes nothing more than a target.
So to make a long story short…
We’ll just cut this guy here down…
And then his magical power will be taken out too!
Tomiko: Shindou-sama…
You hurt him….
Hyde: I’m not gonna make a comment on his girly hobbies…
But you gotta ‘scuse me for ending this thing so quickly!
012
Tomiko: No one is allowed to do that!
For this I will not forgive you!
Shunpei: She blocked it?!
And moreover…with her hair!!
Hyde!!
Shindou: Why should we end things so quickly!!
Its true I’m here…
But my beloved Tomiko as you put it, is strongest when the two of are here in this instant.
This in turn makes us…
013
Shindou: Or I should say Tomiko’s Mozanhagu…
Absolutely impenetrable!
Shunpei: The hair is wrapping around it!!
The Texas Chainsaw can’t move anymore?!
Shindou: This should be proof…
That Tomiko and my magical power are unrivaled.
014
Hyde: Kuh!!
Shindou: Aren’t you the stubborn fellow?
If only it had been a bit closer…
However.
015
Shindou: It seems that your weapon is no longer useable.
Shunpei: No way!!
The ‘Texas Chainsaw’ has always been able to get us out of bad situations!!
If it can’t move…it can’t cut either!!
This is no good!
We’re in the worst situation!!
Shindou: Checkmate.
Now its time for you to Tomiko to partake..
In your pain!
Hyde: You’re right..
That little lady’s magic sure is..
Doing a number on my own..
016
Shindou: Is that Oil?!
Shunpei: Hyde?!
Hyde: However that also means if you move around your own hair…
That you’d lose the grip over me wouldn’t it?
017: No!!
Stop that!
Tomiko: Yo—You fool! Don’t you understand your own situation here?
If you go ahead and do that, not only my body but yours too would end up being burned!
You too are caught up in my hair so you cannot escape!
Hyde: Hey hey, I’m not the one in this for loverboy over there.
For two people in love your ‘resolve’ seems rather flimsy…
Or else…
A little heat wouldn’t bug you right?
018
Side Text- A plan that abandons oneself explodes into action! The victory is…?!
Hyde: Shun is a grand example of it so pay attention.
This is what real ‘resolve’ looks like!
Tomiko: Ky…KYAAAAAAAH!!!!

He gets awesome grades in school and so is the top of his class.
He’s a sports buff.
And since his folks are super rich he’s in every top financial clique around.
It’s almost impossible to think of him as a lowely human.
Girls: waaah!!
Waah!!
Waah!!
Shunpei (Handrwitten.): I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!
Shindou: Phew!
Did you see my shot just now?
006
Shindou: Tomiko?
It was a shot full of my love for you.
What’s the matter? Why do you make such a cold face?
Is it because those girls there are being really nosy Tomiko?
Hahah, Don’t worry my love is only for you.
Shinozuka: ‘Course now all those girls are only second to that strange doll he sseems to be doting to now.
Girl: It’s the doll that he seems to like?
However he’s so hot!
Look over here at me like that!
Shunpei: Wow those girls have a lot of patience…
007
Shunpei: A doll…
Nah...couldn’t be.
Shinozuka: Oh by the way Shunpei..
I wonder what kind of after school activities that teacher had in mind? He looked like he’d really make you regret being tardy.
Handwritten: Grehahaha, You won’t go home until you finish.
Shunpei: Wah! Wah!!! Wah!!
(Side- Previous Issues: All of the world’s magicians are aiming for the power of the magic king! And because of this his Grandson Krowther Shunpei’s life is being targeted! Its for his protection that Hyde awakened, and now Shunpei’s protection begins…)
008
(Side Text- Crowther Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.)
Hyde: Hey hey Shun my boy,
What’cha doin’ hiding? Weren’t we going home?
Hyde?: Could it be that during that after school thing you were talking about, you got some kind of answer wrong,
And the teacher or whatever decided to punish you hardesly with promises of never going home or something like that? It isn’t something like that is it?
Shunpei: That’s right!!
It couldn’t be that!!
Shindou: Well..
009
Shindou: Shall we get started Tomiko?
(Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the soul purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather.)
Shindou: On Agitabiracha, ba tsushishnoku Kanoutakuchra wano u hayan aka-
(TN- I have NO idea if this is Japanese or just spell encantation, its all written in katakana. If anyone reads the raw and figure it out lend me a hand.)
The one who follows evil is Krowther.
Give him magical slaughter!
010
Shunpei: Teacher?
Handwritten. (He saw me!?)
011
Shunpei: What the heck?
Is…
Wait….
Don’t play around with me…
Hehehe…
012
Shunpei: H---
HAIR?!
013
Shunpei: Uwahaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Hyde: D—
Shun!
Shunpei: Ugh….!!
Hy…
HYDE!!!
014
Shunpei: Hyde….
It’s my fault that Hyde is…
Uwaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!
Aaaaaaaaah!!
In front of me too?!
Uwaaaaahhhh!!
Its no…no good!
There’s no where else for me to escape to!
015
Shindou: hehe..
You can’t get away from me by running around.
All you can do is cry as there’s not a single person here that can save you.
There’s nothing one person can do on their own.
Shunpei: Its here too!!
Hah…
And even the bottom floor is covered!
A dead end!!
Shindou: Checkmate.
016
Shunpei: All right.
Just what I was looking for!
(Side Text- Alshid Krowther: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. He went off to Africa where his whereabouts became a mystery.)
Shunpei: This here is my territory!
And not even hair is allowed to invade…
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!
017
{Tomiko’s attack was stopped in one blow by his barrier?}
{I thought this guy was totally clues of my aim!}
{I see, this pathetic guy isn’t quite as pathetic as I thought he was.}
{He’s managed to at least get a suitable amount of ‘Resolve’!!}
Shindou: Hehehe
This’ll be fun.
Shunpei: I’m no longer..
Gonna make excuses or find a place to cry!
And I’m going to put my trust in myself and Hyde!
Hyde will defiantly come to this place and help me out..
That’s why!! 018
Shunpei: Until that time I alone…
Will buy time for his arrival!
Hyde: It’s on this floor…and the next.
This guy’s a busy body huh?
Just wait for me Shun my boy!
(Side Text- A wish to no longer be a weakling!)
(Bottom- Continued in issue 10)https://mangahelpers.com/t/bomberdrufi/releases/171[English] [Translation] Hyde and Closer 4 by Bomber D Rufi2008-03-23T02:23:55+00:00Bomber D Rufiadmin@mangahelpers.comWow this series just doesn't know how to let up! I'm really impressed with it so far. I hope they make an anime of it somewhere down the line ^^ I may do another one in a minute depending on how wordy it is.
(Side Text- Hyde defeated Harawataski, and the magician Chidski also fell because of his own curse. Now we take a visit to the hospital…)
Shunpei: Was a Russian guy….
Brought in as a patient yesterday?
(Text- Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Crowther.)
(Side text- A sudden and great after effect!)
Nurse: That must be Mr. Chidoski.
(TN- I’m not going to bother doing SFX for this series anymore as magicbulletgirl said that she doesn’t really need them, and they don’t really affect the story. This way the translation can come out faster.)
Nurse: You’re here to see him alone?
Are you an acquaintance?
Shunpei: Uhhhhh um….well…
When I went overseas to study Russian, I happened to become friends with him…
Th---Thankyouverymuch!!
Nurse: Ah…
He just had a surgery on his appendix, so please try not to make him laugh heavily!
002
MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CROWTHER
(Text- The magical Doll Harawatski was defeated by the teamwork of Hyde and Shunpei, however another enemy is quickly approaching them…)
Act 4: 6 People
ASOU HARO.
003
Shunpei: Huh?
What did you just say Hyde?
Hyde: I was sayin’ It’s about time we…
Started coming up with our own methods.
At this rate we’re always gonna get caught unawares by magicians if we just sit around waiting.
I think it’s a good idea if we start to probe the enemy for clues Shun my boy.
We’re just starting out using magic,
So to get another edge on the enemy, we should try info gathering as well.
Shunpei: Bu---But I..
I don’t know anything about magicians!
Hyde: That’s why…
004
Hyde: We ask some guy who DOES know.
Shunpei: It’s here…
(Sign- Chirudski-Sama.)
But is this Chirudski guy really the person behind Harawatski? And if he is…
Won’t he be rather upset to see me?
He may even try to attack me here in this hospital if he’s mad enough!
What could we possibly do if that occurs?
Hyde: If that did happen, I’d be glad to give him the address to hell.
Shunpei: Hyde….This is a hospital….
Well for now…lets give it a try…
Going in…
005 Chirudski: Y…You guys!! How did you know that I got transferred here?
Did did you come to try to finish me off?
I’m telling you I had nothing to do with it! I only came to this country because my dad’s forty companies all went bankrupt!
I have no idea about the Crowther family line and trying to kill you because I want the magic that comes with your death or anything like that!
{Whoa!}
{He totally knows everything!}
(Side Text- Previous Issues: That day suddenly Magicians and their cursed dolls started aiming for young Krowther Shunpei’s life because of his grandfather’s power as the magic wielding king! He was attacked by the jack ‘n’ the box killer doll Harawaski but teamwork defeated him! But now the threat of magicians isn’t over…)
Chirudski: Hmph!
Don’t even joke!
Why should I help you fools out? We’re enemies!
I’ll never tell! Even if you kill me!
Go on do it! Kill me!
Its fine if you want to!
Shunpei: Hyde…see?
It’s no good like I thought.
Lets go home Hyde…
Hyde: Che.
This is so damn annoying.
Hey fatty!
Do you understand your own place in this matter?
Chirudski: Wha—What are you going to do? I---I’m a hospital patient!
So what are you planning?
Shunpei: Hyde! Stop it!!
007
(Side Text- Crowther Shunpei. He happens to be the target of all the Magicians in the world because of his powerful magic wielding Grandfather. The protagonist.)
Chirudski: Vyahahahahahahahahahah!!
Ow ow ow ow!!
My appendix wounds!!
Shunpei: Aahahahahahahahahah!!
Chirudski: Do you think that I’d start spilling info just because you have me in your grip?
You’re dead wrong!
Vahahahahahahahahahah!!
Ow ow ow ow!!
Shunpei: Ahahahahahahahahah!!
(Side Text- Hyde: A magical Teddy bear brought to life for the soul purpose of protecting Shunpei from his enemies. Loyal to Shunpei’s Grandfather.)
008
Chirudski: No….
Never….
Vahahahahahahahahah!
Ow ow ow ow!
Ok! You’ve got me! Stop!
‘O’ Hawk’s eyes.’
‘Turn like in a mirror.’
‘Reflect the omnipotence of Satan’s Camilla.’
‘Allow us to notice our own blindness.’
‘Then draw us near to bathe in the light.’
‘Sense!’
(TN- Kanji reads Searching Knowledge.)
009
(Side Text- Alshid Krowther: Shunpei’s Grandfather and the King of magic. He went off to Africa where his whereabouts became a mystery.)
Shunpei: It lit up!
What are all these lights supposed to mean?
Chirudski: Oh that.
Those lights represent all the people after your life.
I’d say there are at least 1000 other guys out there other than me that would love to see you in a casket.
Shunpei: O---1000?!
Chirudski: Of course that number is an estimate.
There are probably even more people that I can’t sense that want a piece of you.
You’re right now the most popular person among them.
Though there’s are a bigger threat than these guys…
The Six!
010
(Side Chirudski- The controller of Harawatski, and one of the many aiming for Shunpei’s life. He failed however and his bad luck came in the form of a bad case of appendicitis, for which he is in the hospital.) Chirudski: Also you should note that…
The Six have powers that are much more fearsome than my own.
Shunpei: No…No way…!
What will we do Hyde?
Now I have not one really strong enemy but six of them!!
Its over!!
There’s nothing that can save me this time!
Hyde: You sleep talkin’ over there Shun my boy?
It’s only six guys right?
011
Shunpei: Hyde?
Hyde: Its for certain that ‘The Six’ will probably move each on their own.
However, They’ll probably be more cold and calculating than the guys that we’ve faced so far. Time is of the essence now.
On top of that, Shun my boy….
It’s going to be really hard to try to protect you on my own.
So before we do anything..
In order to fight against these six small fries..
You’re gonna need to become really good at your matic.
Shunpei: So…
012
Shunpei: That’s impossible!!
I can’t possibly become good enough at magic to fight someone with it!
And anyway I’m not a brave person!
I’m just good at running away! What good is that/!
QUIT MAKING IT SOUND LIKE I CAN FIGHT AGAINST SCARY MAGICIANS SO EASILY!
IT’S NOT EASY FOR ME AT ALL!!
Hyde: Don’t get it twisted Shun my boy.
I never said it would be easy for you.
You do have courage.
And you do have confidence.
What’s left to you now is..
013
Hyde: RESOLVE.
Shunpei: Re…solve?
Hyde: A lot of bad things may end up happening to you, and you can either choose to press on against them
Or spend your whole life running and running with no escape.
There’s no way that they’ll stop trying to kill you, no matter how much you try to search for it.
So for that purpose Shun my boy…
014
Hyde: You’ll need to sharpen your resolve.
It’s the only sure thing you have.
Shunpei: What will..
I do about this?
I’ve been thrown in this dangerous situation…
Why won’t you come and save me from them?
Grandpa….
015
Chirudski: Isn’t it sad?
Crowther’s grandson…
He’s still nothing more than a snot nosed brat isn’t he?
Hyde: I seem to remember a certain ‘snot nosed brat’ that kicked YOUR ass.
Chirudski: Um..well that was…you know…
Hyde: Ain’t sad to me.
Shun is just going to have to toughen up.
There are more hellish trials that await him here on in.
If I didn’t think much of him
There’d be no point for me to continue hanging around him.
016
Hyde: It ain’t sad.
Just a bit bittersweet is all.
Shunpei: Resolve…
Huh…
017
???: Heheheh
Have a look Tomiko.
There are lots of couples here.
And they’re so happy looking.
But my loved one is…
Right here beside me
Hehehe…
Girl: Hey isn’t that creepy!
That guy is all alone on that ride.
Guy: Hey hey! Don’t say that!
He might hear you and look over here!
???: Yes…
My loved one is here..
Tomiko…
Fufu
Soon…
Soon Crowther’s Power will be all mine.
And then
Tomiko…
You and I will be the most powerful magicians.
Fufufufufu….

Thing: What the…
007
Thing: Damn…
You’re one lucky kid!!
(SFX- *Patan* Thunk!)
Shunpei: That’s it!
It might look like Harawataski can pop out wherever he wants in this room, but!
He can only do it from places that are opened up already in this place!!
So then….Hyde!!
I’ll open this Locker!
When he comes from this direction….
You can go on the counterattack!
Hyde: Hey Shun..
That sounds really troublesome yah know…
Shunpei: Just hurry up and follow directions before he comes out!!

Harawataski can’t see from there!

Thanks a lot for the fast scan magicbulletgirl! Now My desire to translate has been ignited! But someone out there please do Gintama as well! Anyway I stuck to the last name used in magicbulletgirl's scantlation just to cut down on confusion, but other than that other things have been kept the same. Enjoy!!
{My name is Crowther Shunpei.}
{I’m a normal albeit very unlucky middle school student.}
{Is what I’d like to say…}
(Top Text- Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Crowther.)
{Apparently my Grandpa was something called a ‘Magician.’}
{And I being his descendent inherited his magical power, a power that all of the world’s Magicians want from me.}
{So now my life is being targeted by them.}
SFX (*Kyaaaaahhh!!*)
(Side Text- The second chapter of a new serialization!)
{Recently I was attacked by a fearsome magical stuffed monkey.}
{To protect me from the cursed ones…}
{Grandpa sent Hyde who saved me.}

002
(SFX *Hatsu!* Blink)
(SFX *Gabatsu!* Whip!)
Shunpei: Hah hah…
(Side text- Last night after being attacked the Crowther house has returned to normalcy! Thinking this is reality Shunpei is…)
Shunpei: A Dream?
Yeah! That’s gotta be it. Magical Spells, Talking bears that can move…
Of course stupid stuff like that can’t actually happen!
(SFX- *Ton ton* Step step)
(SFX- *Hotsu* Sigh!)
Shunpei: Mooom!
What’s for break----
(SFX- *Gatchatsu* Creeek.)
003
Mom: Hyde-chan, How do you like your eggs? Poached? Or perhaps Sunny side up?
Hyde: Men always eat their fried eggs in silence!
Shunpei: H---HYDE?!
Moreover, mom…why is you two so close?!
Mom: Oh Shun-chan! Good morning!
What I knew that Hyde-chan is one more of the creations of your Grandfather’s magic.
It’s amazing what he could do isn’t it?
Shunpei: So…you already know?
Hyde: Shun go on and sit down.
Shunpei: Huh?
Hyde: Mom’s trying her hardest to rustle up some grub.
So cool your jets.
Shunpei: S—so it’s not a dream…
004
Magic Ban Removal!!! Hyde and Crowther
Second Act: Secret Room
ASOU HARO
Right Text: The Second chapter of a new serialization!
A fight that you can’t run away from seems like its started now hasn’t it?
005
Hyde: Hey hey Shun.
Whatcha mean that you can’t take me to school with you?
Shunpei: OF COURSE I CAN’T!!
It would make a huge fuss at school if you were to come along too!!
(SFX*Bubatsu!* Speew!)
Hyde: Don’t you go forgetting it now, Shun my boy.
Right now all the magicians in the world are targeting your life.
At any where and anytime they could pop up and you’d kick the bucket.
Mom: I don’t get the details…
But you should try to do your very best Shun-chan!
(Side Text- Previous issues: That day all of the magicians in the world want one thing, and that is the power of Crowther! So now the unfortunate Middle school boy Crowther Shunpei’s life is in danger! Because of this however Hyde was able to awaken…)
006
Shunpei: Ok! Absolutely no talking or moving you understand me?!
Hyde: Why’s that?
Shunpei: BE—CA----US-----E!!!
Hyde: Anyway….
You know I might have to fight against all kinds of enemies Shun my boy.
But you should also start working on practicing your own magical ability.
Shunpei: Whaaat?!
007
Shunpei: That’s impossible!! No way!!
How can someone like me do that?!
(SFX- *Bun bun bun bun bun* Spin spin spin spin spin.)
Hyde: Here Shun.
Shunpei: Huh?
{Even a Monkey can learn…}
{Magic.}
(On Book- It’s exciting! A Magic Primer!)
Shunpei: A primer?!
(SFX- *Para* Flip.)
Shunpei: The basis for magic is…
‘Strength of belief…..’
In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief…
You must first find strength in your own belief.
008
{For that sake Magicians poor their strength into accessories,}
{With this strength, they can do almost anything, even calling for the weather to change. The spells are much more than chanting poetry, but instead rely on their own aura. The Magicians take advantage of this in their art.}
{Allow this power to sweep over you like a grandiose play, filling yourself with an overwhelming self confidence.}
{Your own magical strength relies on this self confidence, of course this is a hint to hypnotize one into awaking their ability and overcoming it.}
{Truly you can use this condition to call about various magical miracles.}
{This is the only way to call upon your magical strength; and not so much the placebos such as magical drugs or other popular but wrong methods.}
{There are other wider applications for magic power once mastered.}
009
Shunpei: This just seems complicated…..
(SFX- *Patan* Shut)
Hyde: You still don’t get it Shun?
Knowledge and character come second.
Only the guys who strongly think they can do it will be able to.
That’s how that monkey was able to pull it off.
(SFX- *Getsubababa* Draaaag)
Shunpei: Your situation isn’t much better than the monkey’s you know! So you don’t need so much confidence!
Anyway! I don’t want to even hear a peep during today’s or any day’s lesson!
Don’t in any circumstance come out of that bag!
(SFX- *Ki-n Con-n Kan-n* Ding dong ding dong)
(Side- Main Characters, Crowther Shunpei- His life is being targeted by the magicians all around the world. He’s a boy who’s the main character.)
Board: Today’s lesson
Will be a science lesson- In the Science lab.
Hyde: School is…
A place with a lot of free time…
(SFX- *Potsun* shhhhh)
(SFX- *Wai wai wai*)

Shunpei: Sheesh…
How did this happen to me anyway?
Beside that, I’d think Grandpa would have mentioned all this magic stuff to me.
He hasn’t even been back since…
{Although now that I think about it…}
{One time does stand out in my mind.}
Grandpa: Shun my boy,
Do you believe in Magic?
Shunpei: Magic?
Grandpa: What? So you don’t know?
Well I guess the first thing I have to do is explain it to you.
When the Americans were trying to make a life for themselves out of the land that was once a wilderness….they had to maintain the land on their own.
Of course it was a time where everyone only took care of themselves.
Who decided ‘I’m gonna only worry about myself’ anyway?
011
Grandpa: To wish for help against future hardships…
And destroy all evil…
To exorcise the land…
(SFX *Pokan* clatter.)
(SFX *Go…* Clatter) Grandpa: Shun my boy..
Watch your Grandpa do a bit of gambling.
Shunpei: Gamble?
Grandpa: These stones here will represent my area.
And you Shun my boy are trying to get in without ‘permission’.
However you want to get in though
Because there’s something here that I bought that you really would like.
Shunpei: Really?
That’s really easy!
I’ll just step right over these stones and…
012
(SFX- *SOWARI* Sheeeen!!)
Grandpa: So do you believe just a little now?
That’s ‘Magic.’
013
Shunpei: In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief,
You must first believe in your own strength.
So in the end, it comes down to me…
I only really wanted to be as cool as granddad…
But I wonder if I can really learn to use magic….
Boy: Hey Shunpei, you mind taking this and pouring in into the beaker?
Shunpei: Wah!!
Ah…Yeah!
(SFX- *Doki doki doki* Babump babump)
(SFX- *Soro* shiver…)
(SFX- *Chorotsu* pooour)
(Side text- Hyde: In order to protect Shunpei, Hyde was endowed with matical power by Grandfather. He is a living breathing magical doll.)
Shunpei: UWAHHHHHH!!!
(SFX- *Bowaaa!* Flaare!)
Girl: Gya!!
Boy: What the heck are you doing to cause that reactivity to occur?!

(Side- Alshid Krowser- Shunpei’s grandfather and the king of all magic. He went off to Africa, although right now his current whereabouts are unknown.)
(SFX- *Wah! Wah!*)
(SFX- *Moku Moku* Smooolder.)
Kid: What the heck is wrong with you Krowser?!
Whatever just go put it out!!
(SFX- *Zawa Zawa* ssshhhh)
Boy: Geez, this is a huge problem but normal for that guy.
Who the heck let Krowser near that beaker anyway?
He’s just the kind of guy that can’t get anything done right. What the hell does he think he’s doing here?
Boy2: For real.
015
Maid: Room service.
(SFX- *Kon kon* Knock knock) Sir? I’ve brought some food to your room as a..
Ser----
(SFX- *Katcha!* Crreek)
Maid: What the heck is up with this room?!
Did someone leave the air conditioner on or something?
(SFX- *Hyooooooooo* Bloooooooowww)

Man: Nhuh?
Maid: GYAHHHHH!!!

This is the best I can do!
(SFX- *hiyoi* lift)

Maid: Ri---Ritual?
(SFX- *Bari Bari Bori Bari* Shiver shiver shiver shiver)
(SFX- *Chiratsu* Chatter.)
(SFX- *Getsuuu* Dash!) (SFX- *Batan* Shut)
Man: H-H-How rude!
My stomach isn’t even full.
It’s about time I get things started.
Gefuu
Well not for me anyway!
A wish for chaos to befall the Crowser family line.
I invoke the name of Satan to inflict pain on them
Plunging them into Despair.
Not to just kill them…
017
But a Magical slaughter!
(SFX- *Barii Bari han han* creek crash thud)
Man: Vahahaha!
Vha ha ha hah hiyahaha!
(SFX- *Dota dota dot dota* Spin spin whirl whirl)
Man: Hey hey! That’s enough of that sit still!
Thing: Vahyaha yahahah!
Man: You’ll bother the other guests that neighbor us.
(SFX- *Dota dota dota* Spin spin spin)
Man: To stop Crowther Shunpei’s heart from beating is your sole reason for living!
And nothing else!
Thing: Vahahahahaahahaahyayahahah!!
(SFX- *Dotatatatatataa* Thunkthunkthunkthunk)
Man: And with this the power of the Crowther family mine will be This Childosuki’s power!!
(SFX- *Vahahaahahahaha!!*)
018
(SFX- *Kin kon* Ding dong..)
Kid: See you tomorrow!
Ok!
Hyde: Hey Shun,
The other kids have already headed home.
Why are you hanging out here alone?
It couldn’t be because you’re afraid that if you don’t stay after school and clean up your mess,
That everyone else in the class room will think you’re some type of loser and not hang out with you
Something like that COULDN’T be it right?
(SFX- *Gehahahah!*)
Shunpei: Of course not!
That’s not it at all!!
(SFX- *Ahahaha!*)
(SFX- *Goshi Goshi* Scrub scrub!)
Shunpei: How could he possibly understand what I’m going through here?
(SFX- *Goshi Goshi Goshi* Scrub scrub scrub.)
Shunpei: Whew!
All right it’s all clean! Now I’m going to the next room to prepare things for tomorrow.
So be a good little bear and sit here quietly!
(SFX- *Gatchatsu!* Verrrr)
Shunpei: Whew…
Done here.
Now to go home.
What is this thing?
At a place like this…
A Present?
Could it be the teacher..
Wanted to create some kind of friendship with the students?
(SFX- *Usu Usu usu* Clatter clatter clatter)
(SFX- *Shurutsu* Shutter!)
???: Open it up!!
020
Thing: Vahahaahahyahahahah!!!!
(SFX- *Dopatsu!!!* Sprrringgg!)

I’m the great Harawatasuki!
I love to eat human’s lustful desires!!

Hyde: Shun!!
Shunpei: Uwahhhhh!!!!

(SFX- *Zawatsu!* Slash!!)
Shunpei: Eyahhhh!!!
(SFX- *Katsu* Slash!)
Thing: Where are you looking now?! I’m right here!!
(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)
(SFX- *Gara* turn)
(SFX- *Batan* Thud!)
Thing: Vahahahahahayahhh!
Shunpei: Ah!
(SFX- *Gatsu* Grab)

023
Shunpei: He’s gone again?!
(SFX- *Bara bara* Clatter clatter.)
What the heck are you doing Hyde?!
Hyde: Shun!
(SFX *Gutsu* Grip!)
Get away from that door!
(SFX- *Datsu!* Dash!)
(SFX- *Vaniyaatsu!* Drrriiiip!)
024
Thing: Vyahahahahahaha! That’s pointless!
You’re trapped like a jack-in-the-box right now brat!
This room is all my territory! It’s a huge box that you can’t escape from!
Planning to escape from the window? Not happening!
(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)
Shunpei: Uwah!!
This is all about me now!
(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)
Shunpei: Ah!!
Thing: And that extra guy outside….
(SFX- *Gunyatsu* Mellt)
He can’t enter this space under any means!!
This is my magic!!
Death House!
No matter where you run or hide you can’t get away from me brat!!
025
Thing: Get it?! The only reason why I even exist…
Is to stop you from drawing breath! To observe your beautiful flat body!
(SFX- *Vahahahyahaaa!*)
Shunpei: No…No way!!
What am I supposed to do now Hyde?!
Hyde: Damn!
This guy isn’t a joke.
He’s downright annoying!
026
(SFX- *Gusatsu!* Slash!!)
Thing: I’ve already said it!!
Shunpei: Whaaaaaah!!!
Uwahh…
Uahhhh…
(SFX- *Zuri zuri* Struggle struggle.)
Thing: Vahyahahaha!!
Let me help you ease that pain by stopping your heart!
(SFX- *Hah….hah…*)
Thing: Until you stop breathing…
It’ll never ever stop!! (SFX- *Gata gata* Shiver shiver.)
Shunpei: Uah…ah…
Hyde….
(SFX- *Vahahaha hahahaa*)
027
Shunpei: In order to gain strength over the enemy’s belief,
You must first believe in your own strength.
Grandpa’s magic…
It’s the only chance I have here….
(SFX- *Zutsu* shudder.)
{Its…it’s no good…}
{I don’t have enough self confidence.}
{I can’t do it!}
Thing: Vahaha!
What are you trying to do?!
You can’t think that a brat like you…
Could actually use magic?!
(SFX- *Byon Byon!* Bounce bounce.)
028
Thing: Vahahaha That’s Impossible!! Impossible!
You might have his look but to actually perform magic..
There isn’t a hope in hell that you’d ever be a ble to do that!
You can’t hope to grasp something so complicated
Besides that do you actually think you can stand in his shado? He’s something you could never be!
Shunpei: Yeah….you’re right.
Of course a guy like me with no self confidence… couldn’t do it..
It’s laughable.
029
Hyde: I don’t think so.
That time, you did try to run away, but when the time came you turned and fought.
It’s about time you,
Gave serious thought in believing to yourself you know?
Shunpei: Hyde!?
Hyde: Don’t listen to guys who will try to change you for their own whims.
You can do it!
030
Hyde: I believe in you.
031
(SFX- *Borochi* Drip)
Shunpei: Yweah! (Yeah!)
Hyde: That’s why I’m saying don’t sweat the small stuff!
(SFX-*Gutsu* Grip!)
Just keep calm
(SFX- *Guitsu* Wipe!)
And show me what a man you are!
Thing: Vahahahah!! What the hell are you doing/!
(SFX- *Dopan!* Bam!)
You ready to give up?!
Shunpei: Th…This is my territory!!
You aren’t allowed to invade…
032
Shunpei: WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!!
(SFX- *Katsu!* Sheen!)
(SFX- *BACHIITSU* CRAAASHH!)
033
034
(SFX- *bachi bachi bachi* Crash crash!!)
Thing: Avyahh!?!
Shunpei: I did it?!
Man: No…No way!!
A ‘Barrier’?!
{That’s the founding measure for magic…}
{Once you’ve mastered this basic more complex and powerful spells aren’t too far away from mastery! This is an absolute must!}
{Why is it that this little brat has learned it so quickly?}
{And he doesn’t even have to recite the incantation!}
{Just with using that stationary?}
035
{That little brat’s disposition…}
{Is gaining more and more knowledge!}
Thing: Avahvahva!
Ow!!
You little brat!! What are you doing?!
(SFX- *Guniyaaa* Growlll)
Thing: Damn! That attack just now…
Just for a second…
Managed to penetrate my space!!
Thing: Vahahahaya!!
(SFX- *Dokaaaan!* THWACK!)
036
(SFX- *Zatsu* Turn)
Shunpei: H---
Hyde!!
Hyde: That idiot sure came out of the blue.
So I paid him back in the same way.
My bad for not being more prepared Shun.
Shunpei: Ok…
Hyde; However look at yourself.
You’re becoming quite good at this.
Shunpei: Hyde!!
I---I….I
I managed to use magic!!
037 Hyde: Of course
I knew you could do it all the time.
(SFX- *Patan!* Shut!)
Thing: This ain’t no time to celebrate!!
Now the two of you are trapped in my space with no hope to escape!
There won’t be a second time!
Now prepare yourselves!
Hyde: You’d better get ready.
(SFX- *Jiiitsu!* Ziiiip!)
Now it’s about time you took a gander at my magic.
038
Hyde: Texas Chainsaw!!
(SFX- *Uuuuruuuu* Whoooooo)
(SFX- *Dododododododo* Vrrruuuuuum)
Hyde: Shun my boy, might wanna stand back.
It’s gonna get messy.
Thing: Bring it!!
Vahyahahahahayah!!

This is the worst!
If Kurousa had gone out instead of Ueno,
We would have totally won the game!!
Kid2: It’s totally Shunpei’s fault.
Kid3: He’s got to be the worst there is.
Kid1: What does he bother coming to this place for, when he’s so useless?!
Does he think he’ll be able to get by without anyone noticing?
He doesn’t even stand up to fight for himself! He just runs away each time, that’s so freaking lame!

Thank you Grandaddy!
Grandaddy, How was Mexico? Grandpa: That place hasn’t changed a bit! It’s Tequila is still as strong as ever!
However a sudden hurricane caused me to have to cut my trip short.
I had to wander around the desert for three days…I really thought I had bit it this time.
014
Kurousa: Whoaa! Cool!
Were you scared?
Grandpa: Hey hey, I don’t even want to hear stuff like that from you Shun my boy.
If you’re a man, you’ll open your own path when another closes.
SFX (*Karan* Click)
Grandpa: Shoot. It’s already that time.
I guess I gotta jet off again. This time I’m going to Africa.
Though this time I’ll be gone for a bit.
What’s wrong Shun my boy? Straighten up!
Your old man isn’t going anywhere…We’ll meet again.
Kurousa: Ok…I’ll try to be good.
As long as Hyde is here I’ll do my best.
And no matter where Grandaddy goes, I want to be able to read it in all of my books. I want to be able to go around everywhere like you.
015
Kurousa: ‘Cause when I grow up…
We’ll go on all kinds of Adventures Grandaddy!
Grandpa: If its you, I’m sure you’ll pull it off!
You are my grandkid after all!

You’re cursed and therefore you have to be killed!
That is a simple fact!!
Ukokokoko!
Kurousa: Cursed?!
What the heck are you babbling about/!
Monkey: You’ve been dragged into a bad situation kid!
I’m a magical device that was created for the sole purpose of ‘killing the cursed’!
That’s the only reason that I exist in this world!
SFX (*Pyon!* Hop!)
Kurousa: A Magical device?
Could it be that Delivery man earlier….
Monkey: DING DONG!! YOU KNOW WHO’S HERE RIGHT ITS DEATH!!

Kurousa: Uwaaaah!!
SFX (*Gutsu gutsu* rattle rattle!)
SFX (*Datsu!* Dash!)
Kurousa: But….But….
Why is my live being targeted by you guys in the first place?!
Monkey: So no one told you the details huh?
It’s because you are the 20th descendent to the strongest magic using king
Alshdo Kurosa! His blood runs through your veins!
Kurousa: Huh?
027
Kurousa: Magicians? Kings?
That sounds like a bunch of fairy tales though…
Monkey: Sure that’s how things look on the official records..
But in reality this is what the truth is. It looks like no one told you anything.
{Alshdo Kurosa’s consort foretold his future…}
{That prayer that a rain would fall for one hundred years on this earth.}
{And of the savior that would come and brighten everything…even the heavens.}
{A magician at the top of all other magicians, the Zenith of them all.}
Monkey: However 6 years ago, Kurosa suddenly disappeared from the planet it seemed.
So it became after this, that every single magician who wanted to make a name for themselves sought out his power.
Which meant one thing.
In order to possess his power, certain measures had to be taken against anyone who was left over.
Kurousa: But…But what does that have to do with me?
This isn’t even my problem at all!!
028
Monkey: BUT IT IS, AS ANYONE WHO IS STILL ALIVE WITH KUROSA’S BLOOD STANDS THE CHANCE…
OF INHERITING HIS POWERS AS I SAID. SO THEY MUST BE DEALT WITH.
Kurousa: Uh…
029
Kurousa: WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
SFX (*Dodadadadada* Running)
Monkey: Ukekekeke!! Running is pointless!!!
The Kurosa family has had its fate intertwined with Danger!
Which is why even now people will search them out for the chance to get the strongest magical power.
However magic has become weaker over the last 6 years that is
Until now! Your presence will be detected no matter where you run!
SFX (*Ha ha* Pant pant)
All over the magic world, there are magicians who would love to
Have your life as their own!

Now you’re alive too?!?
SFX (*Daaaaaahhhh!*)
Hyde: Hey hey! Where ‘ya headed Shun?!
Che…
Kid’s got no manners does he?
SFX (*Toko toko* Waddle waddle.)
034
Delivery guy: Ugh.
An outside force huh?
Could it be that kid managed to awaken his own magical skill through that Teddy bear?
…!!
No wait…
That magical power is….
Kurousa: This can’t be for real!! Hyde is a cursed teddy bear too?!
What do I do now?!
SFX (*Gata gata buru buru* Shiver shiver shake shake.)
Hyde: Why are you hiding out in a place like this Shun?
You wanna play hide ‘n’ go seek or somethin’?
SFX (*Pakatsu* Creek)
Kurousa: UWAHH!
Label (Honey.)
Hyde: Damn that honey looks good.
I’m gonna eat till I’m stuffed!
SFX (*Pyon* Hop)
Kurousa: D-d-don’t come any closer!!
035
Kurousa: You’re with that earlier doll aren’t you?! You’re here to take my life right!?
SFX (*Gata gata buru buru* Shiver shiver shake shake.)
I’ve been running all the way until now you know!!
Hyde: Runnin’?
What the hell ‘you talkin’ bout?
SFX (*Gubitsu* Gurgle.)
I said it just now right?
You are as of now the magicians number one target in this world.
You talkin’ about running…
Where ya gonna go?
Kurousa: I….
I don’t know that!!
Anyway it has to be far away right?!
037
Monkey: Uke…ukekekekeke…
SFX (*Furatsu* Stumble.)
Hyde: Well now…I thought that last attack would be enough to do ya in..
But for a small fry, you’re stubborn ain’t ya?
Monkey: So you are
More likely than not the manifestation of his magical power are you not?
SFX (*Gura gura* Wobble wobble.)
Kurousa: Uwaaaaaaaaah!!! It’s still moving around!!!
Hyde: That ain’t too surprising.
Magical stuffed toys all have a core that allows them to move around and such.
Of course this core is supported by all kind of magical objects.
Unless all of them are completely destroyed it won’t stop moving.
Of course we can even feel pain and stuff like that.
038
Monkey: Of course I’m way different than you.
I’ll keep right on fighting, until I accomplish my mission.
And so…
Fight I shall!
SFX (*Dogagaritsu!* Swwwiiish! Thock!)
Kurousa: Forks?!
SFX (*Dogagaatsu* Thock thock thock.)
Kurousa: Gwah!
039
SFX (*Zu zu zu zu zu zu zu* whooooooosh)
SFX (* Zu zu zu zu zu zu* Woooosh)
Kurousa: What the heck is all of that?!
Can magic really do all of that?!
Hyde: Seems like it.
Monkey: Everything in this room can be used to my advantage!
This is my magic!
HOLLOW BLACKNESS!!
SFX (*Fuoooooooo* Whoooooo)
SFX (*Ukekekekokoko*)
Monkey: First to take care of that annoying stuffed bear.
We’ll see if you’re so talky after I stab you a bit!!
Kurousa: Why is this happening to me/!
I don’t want this! Please just stop!!
040
{Wait….That exit!!}
{That’s it!}
{If I want to survive all of this…I’ve got to act now!}
SFX (*Sotto Sotto* Sneak sneak.)
{I can take this entrance and get the heck out of here!}
SFX (*So---to* Sneaaak)
SFX (*Kyupi-n!* Poink!)
Hyde: Che.
As expected. This guy ain’t half bad.
Hey Shun!
I know you don’t got much on ya, but I need to ask you for a favor!
041
Kurousa: Huh?
Hyde: In my back,
Your grandpappy put a secret weapon.
He figured it might come in handy if tough times would come up like this.
Kurousa: ….
And?
Hyde: I can’t reach the damn zipper.
That’s why you need to come here
And open it up for me ok?
SFX (*Dodon!*)
Kurousa: Wh…what the hell?!
At this time you can still tell jokes?!
Moreover, I just managed to get away when you revealed me!
Why would I want to run back over there and get myself in a dangerous situation again?
042
Monkey: Ukekekokokok
What a useless brat you have there!
Is he really the grandson of the powerful magician?
SFX (*Yuraaa* Sssssh)
Now take this and disappear!
I need to hurry up and finish off that brat there!
SFX (*Shubababa* Wissssh!)
SFX (*Dogagaga* Thock thock thock)
SFX (*Zuzaatsu* Ssssssh)
Hyde: Shut your damn pie hole small fry!
A man doesn’t back down when times are tough.
I’ll just do what I gotta do, and that’s it.
043
SFX (*Zururi* Bing)
Monkey: Uko!!
SFX (*Borotsu..* Droop.)
Kurousa: Hyde…
SFX (*Zutsu..*)
SFX (*Hatsu* Ping!)
Kurousa: Why the heck did I come back?!
I was just scott free! What made me decide to come back?!
SFX (*Bun bun bun bun* Spinnidy spinnidy)
Kids: He doesn’t even stand up to fight for himself! He just runs away each time, that’s so freaking lame! Kurousa: At this rate I’ll really be killed! I’ve got no choice but to run..
Grandpa: If you’re a man, you’ll open your own path when another closes.
Kurousa: This is the only chance I’ll get so I gotta…
SFX (*Gachatsu* Rattle.)
SFX (*Potatsu* Drip.)
Kurousa: I’m so pathetic…!!
SFX (*Borotsu Borotsu* Drip drip)
045
Monkey: Ukokoko!!
So laughable!
So in the end you’re all alone now right?
SFX (*Shuuuubatsu* Whiiiiiiiipcrack)
That brat that you’re putting your life on the line for
Won’t even bother opening the zipper for you!!
SFX (*Dogatsu!* Thock!)
That pathetic brat’s who’s only talent is running…
Won’t even come back to help you!
Now there’s nothing that can save you!!
SFX (*Dogatsu! Gagaga* Thwack! Whack wack)
Hyde: A pathetic brat?
I ain’t seeing it!!
Monkey: Ukooo?!
046
SFX (*Zatsu*!! Turn!!)
047
Kurousa: Hyde…

Hyde: No sweat. You came back right?
SFX (*Jiiiitsu* Ziiiip!)
Kurousa: Its…open.
Hyde: Ok, now search around for it and pull it out
Kurousa: U…ok….Like this?!
SFX (*zosoko* Clatter.)
Monkey: Ukeke
As if there’s anything in that little body of yours!
What the hell are you saying “pull it out?!”
SFX (*Ba* Thunk.)
Kurousa: eeyaah!!
SFX (*Zurutsu!* Yank!)
048
SFX (*Zuruuuuuuu* Vrrrrrmmm!)
Monkey: Wh…
Wha?!
Kurousa: What the hell!?!
Hyde: Hehe..
It hasn’t changed a bit.
Still hella noisy aren’t cha’?
This here is my Magical…
049
TEXAS CHAINSAW!!
SFX (*Dodododo!* Rooooar)
Monkey: You…that’s….?!
Isn’t that illegal!?!
Hyde: Look who’s talking now.
SFX (*Dodododdo* Roooar.)
Just now you sounded like you were about ‘ta cry.

SFX (*Za* Tmp.)
Monkey: U…

There isn’t any meaning for you to do this!! I’m not your prey!!
050
Monkey: IF you want a reason to attack I’ll give you one!!
There isn’t anyone who can stand up to me!!
SFX (*Ukokokokoko*)
Hyde: I don’t need no dam reason.
This is my path.
SFX (*Dotsu zun doka!* Vrm vrm vmrmmm!)

SFX (*Doga zun zun doga!* Vrrrmvrrrrmmm)

SFX (*Zatsu!* Turn!)
SFX (*Futa* Shiver.)
Monkey: Eeek!

052

Deliveryman: Che!!

Damn, Kurosa’s power is no joke..!!
For now I’d..
Better get out of here!
SFX (*Gago* Click!)
SFX (*Burooo* Vrooooom.)
Kurousa: Ah!

He’s the suspicious guy that started this whoe thing!!
What do we do Hyde? He’s getting away!!
Hyde: Leave it be Shun.
Kurousa: Why?! Hyde?!
At this rate he’ll get away!!
Hyde: It’s not that easy to deal with a magician.
SFX (*bubotsu* Pluck.)
055
Hyde: People have two cursed holes you know?
If the enemy’s curse fails at one place…
There’s a good chance that their magic still remains cursed there.
But tampering with that curse also carries a huge risk.
You’ll be cursed with his misfortune you know.
SFX (*Gehahahaha*)
Kurosua: You can say that and still laugh Hyde?!
SFX (*Burooooooo* Vroooom.)
SFX (*Gatatsu* clink!)
Deliveryman: The back mirror…

Kurousa: I didn’t think about it before but I have a HUGE problem now!!
All of the magicians in the world are now out for blood!....MINE!

Hyde: Eh…That’s not a big dea.
SFX (*Gubitsu* Gulp!)
Kurousa: OF COURSE IT IS!!
Hyde: I said I’ve got your back…even if my life is on the line.
Kurousa: Hyde…
Hyde: Your grandpappy..
He made a promise as a man.
SFX (*Karan* Clink)
By the way Shun my boy…

Kurousa: Huh?

059
SFX (*Patan* Thunk!)
Kurousa: HYDE?!
Hyde: By the way Shun my boy…
You wouldn’t happen to know how to sow up my wounds would ya?
I think I’m in a bit of a bad spot.
Kurousa: What?! Really?!

SFX (*Buru buru* Roll roll.)
{And So Hyde and I met for a second time,}
{Soon everything would begin….}
Kurousa: But Isn’t it weird? I didn’t know Teddy bears could feel pain!
Hyde: It doesn’t hurt.
Kurousa: You liar! You look like you’re in pain!!
Hyde: Men don’t talk about that kind of stuff.
Kurousa: I don’t get you!!
