(Top text- FINAL CHAPTER)
Ubume: My master.
The adaptation was a success.
This land does indeed bless you with it's love.
RYOKO
Rice: Finally we can set out to find all of the germs.
They are the greatest threat on this planet.
Implement the measures to weed out humanity, it's life and...

002
Peace.
RYOKO
FINAL VOL: Last Supper.
KAITO MITSUHASHI

003

004
Zen: So I am...
Kashiwade....
Daitoudai: Looks like you're starting to remember.
Kazuo: Then you were at the facility...!
Ryoko: There are two germs...?!
Daitousai: Yeah.
And Zen is the one with the power to defeat those guys.
He's humanity's...no. Our final trump card.

005
Rere: Those guys...?
Daitousai: The rice.
They're mobilizing their forces and coming here.
Zen: Wha? What did you say?!
Kazuo: Is that true?!
Daitousai: That's why I came running back here.
The ones who eradicated mankind were the rice troops, and there's no escaping them.
Standing against them is also death.
However.
We do have once chance.

006
Daitousai: If we use your ability to rot anything,
then we may be able to defeat the rice.
Do you think you can do it, Zen?
(Sfx- Gokuh gulp)
Zen: And...how many troops are we talking about?
The rice that we encountered before were hella strong.
Daitousai: The rice are calling in the foodstuffs that have conquered the entire nation. I hate to even think about the raw numbers but...
If we're just talking rice here, then it's about thirty thousand.

007
Zen: That's....a lot.
Ryoko: Do you know when the white rice are coming here, master?
Daitousai: They should be here by sunset.
(Sfx- Gata clatter)
Ryoko: I see. Then....

008
Ryoko: We've gotta eat dinner!
Master, your hair sure has gotten long.
Daitousai: It's been a while since I've been able to do this.
Ryoko: Um...so,
a lot has happened Master.

009
Ryoko: I met Zen-kun and the others, I had shell at dish city, charged into the city in the sea of trees...
And....cut someone down...
Daitousai: I see...
The path of thorns is a painful one.
Did you cry?
Ryoko: I did. Plenty even.

010
Ryoko: This world is unforgiving...
And I had no idea how far the depths of cruelty went.
I'm not sure if I made the right choice or wrong choice and yet...
I can't stop to ponder that as there are more choices that I have to make.
However...
even in those days...
I'm able to eat good food with everyone.
That makes me so happy that I don't mind it.

011
{I get it...}
{The girl I left behind who was seeking revenge against the world...}
{Is really gone now.}
Daitousai: Geez, I leave for just a little while and you go and grow up on me.
Even I as your teacher could stand to learn a bit from you, huh?
Ryoko: You could be pretty cool again if you shaved that beard, y'know.
Daitousai: “Cool again”?

012
Ryousuke: Waah!
We're gonna have a picnic in a wide place like this?
Zen: Hows about we put the sheet here?
Ryoko: Yeah, that's perfect!
A picnic at night~
Daitousai: And how are preparations going over there?
Kazuo: They're done.
Ryoko: Now then have a seat everyone!
Time for some dinner bento!
Someone: Ooooh!! It's a fried salmon bento box!!!
(Sfx- Deeen toom)

013
Rere: I brought some clam miso too!
Ryoko: Great! Let's eat!
Yesterday's leftovers are tomorrow's breakfast!!
Nothing gets left uneaten!
Well then...
Thanks for the meal.
(Sfx- Aaaaaaan)
(Handwritten- So delish!)
(Sfx- Zuzuhh Sluuurp)

014
{Thanks for reading. The final volume of the manga has a estimated release date of this fall. Please look forward to Mitsuhashi-sensei's next work.)
RYOKO: END.

Normally I like short chapters, but I would have taken one triple this length if it meant having more time with Ryoko and her friends. This whole series was the whole gambit of a joy and tragedy in one package. I was so excited to see it land on the scene two years ago, and sad when the hiatus was first announced...then overjoyed when it returned even though deep down I knew it was just coming back to end since pre-hiatus it wasn't a big seller, so there was no reason for Shougakukan to keep it running. Still, this ending just....I dunno man. I'm hoping Mitsuhashi will address a few things in the final volume's release in a few days but I can imagine we may never know if it was Shougakukan who asked him to pull the plug like this or if he just decided that he wanted to break free quickly. The one hope at the end of the tunnel is that they did say he's working on something else. I hope we'll see more of Mitsuhashi sooner rather than later since he really is a talented guy. Not just in his art but how his writing complimented the over the top nature of his artwork perfectly. In any case, I'm cursed to always feel a sense of emptiness when I finish translating a series, huh....for once it'd be nice to finish something that had a long and happy run. Yes, yes, I know the irony of saying this when I'm not done with Saike. I promise that's coming soon. Until then.

-BDR.

And next, the final chapter. I glanced through this one when it first released in WSS, without realizing how significant it truly was. Ugh it actually makes me really angry that RYOKO ended up this way with such a promising story developing. I get the ending probably came out of left field for everyone but to tantalize us with such a good meal we'll never have....

RYOKO
{We first met in the research facility.}
{Both as the same test subjects...}
(Side text- And now “his” truth is revealed....)
{And...}
{As germs.}
VOL 42: GERMS
KAITO MITSUHASHI

002
Ryoko: Huh...?
Rere: Who the hell are--
Ryoko: Master!!
Rere: Master?! What the heck are you goin' on about?
Master: Hey. You're looking chipper Ryoko.
(Sfx- Nuhah)

003
Master: Whoa.
(Sfx- Dohh bump)
Ryoko: We meet again....welcome back!
(Sfx- Sooh pat)
Master: I'm home.
And your dinner table sure has become lively, huh!

004
Kazuo: Welcome back, teacher.
Master: Kazuo-san.
You're injured....could it be?
Kazuo: Haha...it's proof I'm no fighter.
I'm only alive thanks to the grace of everyone here.
Master: It's no wonder despite it being your house...
I do apologize for not being here.
Rere: Wha...what the heck is going on here.
You guys know him? And this stuff about him being a master...
Ahhh I don't get anything anymore!!
Ryoko: Ah, so this is my master.
He's the one who saved my life and taught me the way to hunt foodstuffs.
Master: Ah, sorry for giving a pretty lady like you a scare.

005
(Sfx- Pui puff)
Rere: Well...
If he ain't an enemy it's fine.
But flattery will get you nowhere, you hear?
Ryoko: On that note...
Why are you here? Didn't you go to the Green Zone?
Master: I did go. Though let's talk about that later.
I do have another reason to be here besides meeting my beloved student.
Ryoko: Another reason?
Master: Yeah. I knew there were some traces around here but I never would have figured this.
Fate's a funny thing for you to have met Ryoko.
Heeey Zen.
We finally meet.

006
Ryoko: Huh?! What do you mean?
Kazuo: Wait, you don't mean...
(Sfx- gata clater)
Zen: Me?
Master: Nuhahahahah...
It's just like you to totally forget, huh.
Do you remember me? I'm Daitousai.
And you and me are both germs.

007
Daitousai: You've...
made sure to take good care of that, huh?
(Sfx- Boyate)

008
Dude: That's the decision we've come to. We're putting an end to this research which means of course your resignation is effective immediately.
Dude2: But!!
Dude: You do understand what voluntary retirement is, right?
This way there won't be any problems for either party.
Dude: U-understood...
{Speaking voices...}
Dude3: There he goes. But why was he fired?
Dude: You really didn't know?
Tenba's wife is a cop. We can't have the law knowing about our research going forward.
{Who's that?}
{Who's hands...}
{Are these?}
Daitousai: Hey chief.
Did someone quit?
Dude: You learn fast.
More importantly how about that experimental drug?
Daitousai: It's no good. It exploded again and people got hurt.

009
Daitousai: And...who's that kid?
Dude: Oh.
He's a test subject we got custody of yesterday. We gave him some medicine so he doesn't run wild.
Daitousai: Hmmm, so then...
Dude: That's right, he possesses the same bacterial irregularity that occurred within your body.
Irregular bacterial infection, known as the “germ” for short.

010
Daitousai: Oh, so he's ridiculously powerful too?
Dude: No. His physical strength is on the level of a regular person. His body hasn't been strengthened at all.
Instead it appears his germ is a dangerous one that affects his surroundings....
Daitousai: Yeah...
You can tell that by just looking.
(Sfx- Jyariii charm)
Daitousai: Hey!
Never thought I'd find a partner here.
Glad to meecha boyo.

011
Boy: Who are you mister?
Daitousai: I'm Daitousai, and we're both here for the same reason.
Boy: 'Cause we're sick?
Daitousai: Dang, is that what they told you?
Well, putting that aside tell me your name!
Boy: My name...
Daitousai: Whoa, don't tell me you forgot.
Here, let me see that thing hanging around your neck.
Kashiwade?
That's a mouthful...

012
Daitousai: Awwright. From today on your nickname is...
Zen!
Pleased to meetcha Zen! I'll poke my head around here tomorrow, okay?
Zen: 'Kay..
(TN- “Zen” takes the kanji from the first part of “Kashiwade”.)
Daitousai: Heeeeyo Zen! How ya been since yesterday?
(Handwritten- Haaaaay)
Zen: Mister, who are you?

013
Daitousai: Hold ooooon, dammit! We just talked yesterday!
We're both germs! Remember?
(Handwritten- Does forgetfulness on this level actually exist??)
Zen: I don't know you.
Daitousai: You don't know me...just what happened to you?
These are injections to keep your bacteria in check? What's with this amount though?
The side effect is memory loss?
Zen: I don't remember anything. I'm not even sure....
What my name is....

014
{So his memories are erased on a day to day basis...}
Daitousai: Welp, no biggie.
We'll just have to make sure we have a day's worth of hanging out, Zen!
{So every day this guy I didn't know came to meet me.}
Daitousai: Hey Zen!! Daitousai here!
Let's hang out!
Hey Zen, check me out! I'm the president!
Today we're gonna have a labyrinth showdown.
Hey Zen-kun.
Let's have a showdown in Shougi.
Mornin' Zen. Be honest and raise your hand if you're the one who dyed his hair today.
(Handwritten- Teacher promises he won't get mad.)

015
Daitousai: Hey Zen.
Today I'm General Ramen! Though since we can't go outside today...
I've decided just for you we'll create a school atmosphere right here!!
(Handwritten-I got donburi and a school uniform right here!)
Daitousai: I'll give you my school uniform so try it on.
Zen: Okay...
Daitousai: As usual your reaction leaves a lot to be desired.
Just put it on and you'll understand how great it is.
See? It looks great on you.
Zen: The sleeves are all worn out.
Daitousai: I guess so. I'll tailor it later.
{Later that night I heard that voice again.}
Zen: Nnn.
???: WAKE UP ZEN!!

016
Daitousai: You finally woke up, huh sleepy head?
(Sfx- Dooooooh dooooom)
Daitousai: Now hurry up and get out of here.
Zen: Wha...General, what's that?
Daitousai: It's exactly how it looks. We were tricked and used, buddy...
and this is the result.
(Sfx- Meeeiiiiiihhhh baaaaaaaaaaah)

017
(Sfx- Gichiii grasp)
Daitousai: Geez, this isn't the kinda guy a knife does anything to. If only I had something bigger.
This place is done for.
Zen, you've gotta survive.
What are you gawking at? Run Zen!!!
Zen: Uwaaaaah!!!
(Sfx- Datsuhhh dash)
Daitousai: Sorry...
You make sure you stay alive, Hinoto Kashiwade!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmmble)
(Sfx- Jyatshhh dddsh)
Zen: Hah...
Hah...
Hahhh.

018
(Sfx- Goooooo rmmmmmmble)
???: Hey are you all alone?
I'm Shirataki. Who are you?
Zen: Uh...I'm....
Hey Zen!, Hey, Zen!, Hey Zen-kun, Hey Zen!
{Yeah..}
{It's coming back to me....}
{I....remember.}
Zen: I'm Zen! Yeah, that's gotta be my name!
(Sfx- GOOOOOOH)

Man, I think I'm actually rusty. This took a lot longer than I wanted it to. Guess I really need to get back to translating something more than tweets.

RYOKO
VOL 41: THE GOOD OLD DAYS
(Side text: Volume four of the manga is now out in stores everywhere!!)
KAITO MITSUHASHI

002
(Sfx- Oooooohhhhh)
(Bottom text- A King Salmon after 4 years of training makes his appearance...!!)
Rere: Whoa! A body of bones? That's pretty friggin' rough!!
Zen: Whoa, for Rere to be talking about another girl's body as rough....
Rere: I'm obviously talking about the salmon, dumbass.
(Sfx- Paaan thok)
Zen: Oh right.
Ryoko: I never would have imagined you'd strike down a fellow Salmon...
Just what were you thinking?

003
King: Oh that?
It is a simple matter, really.
Rushing a long distance over the waves and testing my mettle by waging life or death battles, my swordplay has...
come to yearn for the souls of larger prey.
And then I remembered that I had a former friend...
Who often boasted about his scales that no-one could break.
Which is to say we are sword and shield.
It only makes sense...my path is one that I must continue testing myself.
{He only did it to test himself?}

004
King: But more importantly....
You were able to render my certain kill blade “Katsuobushitou”s strike ineffective.
That more than anything else proves that you have true mettle.
(TN- His sword art? Blade? Style's name is kind of a pun. “Katsuobushi” is small pieces of sliced bonito. The “bushi” in this can also mean warrior, which is why I didn't translate it directly.)
King: There isn't a single being that has been able to block my second attack.
Take this.
Rere: What's with this dude and suddenly making this sound like a one-on-one fight?
Hellooo? I'm right here!!
King: I suppose you are.
(Sfx- Zooohhh)

005
Ryoko: Get down everyone!
(Sfx- Fuhhhh shffft)
(Sfx- Zuugaaaaaan craaaaaash)

006
Zen: Ouch!!
Rere: Wah!!
He was able to cut that much with just his will power!!
Zen: Wh—whoa...
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzhhhhh)
{There's no way my blade could take that...}
King: You dodged it...
but your instincts are sharp.
Rere: Dammit, we'll see how calm you are when we counterattack!!
Zen: Yeah! Let's show him what we've got!

007
King: I have no interest in anyone other than warriors.
But try if you wish.
Rere: You said it now, fishface!!
(Sfx- Gagagagaga thoomthoom)
King: Hmph.
(Sfx- Baahhh fwapp)
{He didn't soak it up with his scales....he actually avoided it?!}
(Sfx- Dahhh wifffff)
King: This sensation...so you must be the germ, huh?

008
Zen: Bloody Swing!!!
King: Hmph.
(Sfx- Baahhh fwaaap)
King: Using your blood.....quite clever, Germ!!
Zen: Rere!! He's above me!
Rere: Just a sec.
{If he's in the air, then I can blast away all I want and not have to worry about hitting an ally.}
{Plus...}
Rere: You can't get away from my shots up there!!
(Sfx- Don don thoom thooom)

009
(Sfx- Gikaaaannn clannng)
Zen: Noaaaaah!!
Rere: He swung his sword and the shockwave reflected the bullets?!
How the hell is that even possible?!
King: You are only dulling my blade.
Begone.
Rere: Geh?!

010
King: Guuhh!!
Ryoko: Rere-san get away from here quickly.
Rere: My bad!
(Sfx- Tataahh)
Rere: How'd your katana have an effect?
Ryoko: He dodged the gunfire.
So I was right that his scales when compared to the previous King Salmon are weaker.

011
King: Ho...how could you...
To abandon your blade....your soul itself...!!
This is a foolish act not befitting a warrior!!
You have disappointed me, woman!!!
(Sfx- Suhhh sffft)
(Sfx- Kaaan tok)
(Sfx- Kankankankankn clopclopclop)

012
(Sfx- Fuuunnn fwhooom)
(Sfx- Kan clop)
(Sfx- Zuugaaaah thoooom)
(Sfx- Gaririririrrih grinnnnnnd)
(Sfx- Gahhh shffft)

013
Ryoko: It's true your swordplay is fiercely strong.
And there's no way I could take it on.
However...
If you've got your four years of mastery of the blade,
I've got my single body and different ways of hunting all kinds of foodstuffs to smack you down with!!

014
(Sfx- Zuraaaaaaah dssssssh)
King: Incredible...

015
Rere: Awesome!! You're amazing Ryoko!!
Ryoko: Forget about that and find me a towel, quick!!
Rere: Aww, just let it go already! What's been seen has been seen! And you're cute!
You think so too, right Whitey?
Zen: Y—yeah, I guess.
Rere: There ya go! Now Ryoko let's head back and get that rice cooking!
Ryoko: Ugh...Rere-san...
Rere: We're gonna drink till we're plastered Ryoko!!
Ryoko: Not till I'm of age!

016
???: Ooooh! Sushi!!!
Ryousuke: Yay!! Thanks so much big sis!!
Ryoko: Heheh! Dig in!
Rere: Yeah! Let's hurry up and get started!
Ryoko: Well then...
Thanks for the food!!

017
(Text- So gooooooddd!!)
Kazuo: Ahhh...it's like right now I can see nature and the milky way after four long years...
Rere: You probably used too much wasabi sauce...
Ryoko: I haven't tasted this since elementary school....
???: Oh? Is that sushi?
Ryoko: It sure is...
???: Can I try one?
Ryoko: Of course! Eat up, please!
???: Then, here I go.
Ryoko: Huh?
???: Nuhahahah, man this is awesome.

018
???: That you've matured enough to hunt down something as strong as salmon...
makes me really happy.
That's my student for ya!

Rere: This thing goes here....

003
Zen: I wanna use all of it.
Rere: You can't.
All done!
(Sfx- De---n tadaaah)
Zen: Oooh! Awesome!
Rere: So what d'ya think? Have a look Ryoko....

004
Ryoko: Yeah...it's like we came to a beach.
It was heavy but I'm glad we brought it.
(Sfx- Dooooon)
Ryoko: I'll make the other preparations.
Rere: Thanks.
(Sfx- Sasasasaaaa)
(Sfx- Chiraa peeek)
(Sfx- Boto tp)
Ryoko: Ah.

005
Zen: Say Ryoko, do you want me to finish setting up here?
It looks like you're having trouble moving around right?
Ryoko: Don't come any closer!!
Zen: Wha?!
Ryoko: S—Sorry. I'm fine, don't worry about it.
I'll, uh, go look for the foodstuff.
Zen: O—okay. Gotcha.
(Sfx- Tata tmptmp)
Zen: Say Rere, is the bathing suit she chose really that embarrassing?
Rere: It's....yeah, something like that.
Zen: She really is something to go hunting dressed like that, though...
Rere: You're really itching to be used for my target practice ain'tcha?

006
Ryoko: Haah, Hah...
{Ugggh I was totally right not to take this offf...}
{It doesn't even look like the foodstuff is here..!!}
(Sfx- Suhhh Sfft)
{Whoa, she's so pretty and adult-like...}
{How can Rere-san be so bold.....}

007
{Meanwhile in comparison....}
(Sfx- Piraaaah peeeek)
Ryoko: I don't stack up!
{I'm just going to stand as still as possible and ride today out in this towel....}
Rere: Hey, make sure you find it Whitey.
Ryoko: Wait, did you manage to find the river foodstuff?
Rere: Oh, you back Ryoko?

008
Rere: The river is deeper than we thought,
So he's going out on his floaties to look.
(Sfx- Basha basha basha splash splash splash)
Zen: It's kinda surprising that I haven't seen anything at all....
Hmmmm.
Oh! I do have this inedible rotted tomato with me!

Rere: Dammit! If that's how it is then we've gotta get serious too!
Ryoko, you're up!!
Ryoko: Y—yeah.

012
Ryoko: Just wait a second, I'm getting my katana now..
(Sfx- Mozo mozo shfft shfft)

Well, whatever. Bring it on buddy.
We've got bigger fish to fry –literally.
(Sfx- guuhh grind)
King: NNNNGHHHHHH As you wish....
I'll put the most fun aside for later!!

003
(Sfx- Doooooooohhhh whooooom)
Ryoko: Is this really the end?
What's this?
I thought it was a tree, but it's actually Broccoli?
I wonder if there's some mayonnaise I could use anywhere...
(Sfx- Oooooooohhh)

004
Ryoko: Ryousuke, Zen-kun, and Rere-san are here...
And Dad's going to wake up for sure...
Yeah....we can go back.
We can all go back and eat together.
(Sfx- Poro poro drip drip)

005
{I don't know if that man known as Kogarashi or Parsley managed to get away.}
Ryoko: Now, let's go back home.
Rere: Yeah, for sure.
Zen: Yup.
{But we had finally managed to come to the end of a very long day.}
Ryoko: Ryousuke, are you hungry?
Ryousuke: Yeah.
What do you want me to make for you when we get home?
{While holding onto our respective feelings...}
(Sfx- Kasaaahh fwap)

006
{A few weeks later.}
Ryoko: Can you walk, Dad?
Just take it easy.
Kazuo: Man...
I know I'm in recovery, but this makes me feel like I'm ready for a retirement home.
(Handwritten- I'd better make a prosthetic leg soon...)
Ryoko: Your priority seat is right this way.
Kazuo: I'm so jealous of you youngsters and how fast you recover.
(Sfx- haaah)
Ryoko: I can feel the weight in those words...
Ryousuke: Big siiiiis!!!

007
Ryoko: What's up Ryousuke?
Ryousuke: So, so, y'know what?!
I wanna eat Sushi!!!
Both: Sushi?!
(Sfx- Gashaaannn)
(Sfx- Dara drip)
Ryoko: U—umm...
When you say Sushi, do you mean that thing packed with vinegar rice like this?
Ryousuke: I think so, yeah!
Kazuo: Oh no...those words rocked my soul so hard that the tears came from my mouth rather than eyes and won't stop.

008
Ryoko: Did you find that flier and want to give it a try?
Ryousuke: Yeah!
It just looks like it's all kinds of fun from what I saw here.
Plus I wanna eat that red thing most of all!
Ryoko: I see...
That's right, Ryousuke you haven't been able to eat sashimi yet have you...
(Handwritten- You were only introduced to rice recently...)
Ryoko: Wh—What should we do...it's been four years since there's been sushi...
Kazuo: We still have rice....
I would like to eat some.
Ryoko: And we can make vinegar. The problem is getting the materials...
(Sfx- Hmmm)
Rere: 'Sup?
Zen: We're back.

009
Ryoko: Hey! Welcome home.
Zen: Hey Ryoko, listen to this!
We saw some huge foodstuffs swimming in the river!
Rere: And it was like...
thiiiiis big.
Ryoko: That's it!! Where is this river?!
Rere: Whoa.
You wanna eat it that bad?
Zen: What's got you all hungry anyway?
Ryoko: So guys...
How would you feel if I said...
Let's eat some sushi?
(Sfx- ton pat)

010
Zen: Whaaaat?! We gotta, we just gotta!!
Rere: But the foodstuff is in the water! What are you gonna do?
Ryoko: No worries!
I have this after all!!
Rere: Are you serious Ryoko.
Ryoko: I'll go change in a jiffy!!
Kyaaah!!
(Sfx- Bikuhh poit)
Rere: Whoa.

011
Ryoko: Um...actually...
Let's just forget about this foodstuff.
Sushi's off.
Rere: Whaa?!
What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?
Quit sneaking around in there...
Ryoko: Waaaah!! Don't look!!
Rere: Geh.
Just how long have you been wearing that?
Ryoko: Since third grade.....

012
Zen: Sooo is someone gonna tell me...
Why we came to a department store,
instead of going to the river?
Rere: Obviously we're gonna need outfits that make it easier to move in water.
Zen: I getcha.
Rere: Like hell am I going to wait even longer for sushi when I have had to put up without it for this long already!
We're goin' in.

013
Zen: Awwright, so what should I wear...
(Handwritten- Anything interesting~)
Rere: You put this on and wait outside.
(Sfx- Zuunnn dooom)
Zen: Eh? Why?
Rere: We haven't changed yet.
And will be changing now.
Which means exactly what it sounds like.
Get it?
Good. That's taken care of.
Ryoko: Rere-san...
(Handwritten- So forceful..)
Ryoko: Hmmm, so the largest one should be over this way I think...

014
Rere: What are you looking for?
Ryoko: One that's a size bigger!
Rere: Listen, I get that school has a strong impression on you, okay?
But the real challenge for you this time around is...
this!!
(Sfx- Dohhh)
Ryoko: Whaaaaaaat?!
I can't possibly wear something that embarassing!!
Rere: But you're always fighting with your bellybutton showing??
Ryoko: N—Not because I want people to see it?!
Besides there's one other issue here....

015
Ryoko: Whenever I look at that...that thing....
I start thinking about how it looks like underwear and can't put it on!!
(Handwritten- Haaaaaaah)
Rere: But whenever you're doing laundry, I see you trying on my clothes that are way more revealing and admiring yourself in the mirror?
(Sfx- Gikuhhh gulp)
Ryoko: Y—you knew about that?!
Rere: This is your chance to be more of an adult, y'know?
I'll even pick one out for you.
Ryoko: But that one just doesn't suit me....
Rere: Ugh, it's not like people are gonna care in times like these...
So what are you freaking out ov--
(Handwritten- coarse)
(Sfx- Hah)
Rere: People...?

016
Rere: No way....Ryoko?
Zen: Seven, eiiiiight, niiiiiine.
Ten!!
(Sfx- Baah fwap)
(Sfx- Moyaaah)
Zen: Ahahaha! That looks weird!
Man I'm having a blast messing around with these shadows.
Rere: Hey whitey, sorry for chasing you out earlier.
(Sfx- Zaahh sfft)
Zen: Oh?

017
Rere: Been waitin' long?
Zen: Ryoko, you're wearing something mighty nostalgic there...
Where's your swimsuit?

018
Ryoko: Y—You're not allowed to see it.
(Sfx- Jijijijijiji siiiiilence)
Zen: Uh?
(Sfx- Gopopopopo blooosh)

VOL 38: RECURSION

MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
Kogarashi: GAH!!
(Sfx- Zooonnn fwhoooom)
(Bottom text- Ryoko's one hit strike...!!!)
Rere: Did she get 'im?
Parsley: Darling!!
(Sfx- Zuooo whsss)
Kogarashi: GAAAAAH!!!!
(Sfx- Gyuuunnn)

003
Ryoko: I finally understand it...
The effects of Parsley's scent...
And the inner workings of your ablities.
You exchanged your life to team up with the foodstuffs, right?
Kogarashi: Don't go suspecting an adult's motives, dammit!!
(Sfx- Goohhh fwhooom)
(Sfx- Jyakiiii clack)
Ryoko: I see.
(Sfx- Gaauhhh thookk)

004
(Sfx- Gyararararaaaa claaannnnng)
Kogarashi: RYOKOOOOOO!!!!

005

006
(Sfx- Dooon thooom)
(Sfx- Kaann)
(Sfx- Bohh fwhop)
Kogarashi: Zuaaagh!!
Give me more Parsley!!!

007
(Sfx- Dohhh fwhooom)
{The scent isn't able to keep up with how fast his cells are being depleted.}
{So all it's doing in turn is destroying him from the inside.}
Parsley: Kuh..
{Moreover...}
{The scent won't be able to recover anything...}
{When his body is being sliced down this much!!}
Kogarashi: Ugh...there's no way..
(Sfx- Shuuhhhhh)

008
Kogarashi: No matter how many times you cut me down...
I'll come right back!!
(Sfx- Borooohh wibble)
Kogarashi: Until I've taken everything from you, I'll...
(Sfx- Boro boro wibb..)
Kogarashi: Honey! What the hell are you doing, hurry up!
(Sfx- Sosaaa dddsh)
Kogarashi: Hurry up so I can
(Sfx- Borooohhh wibble)
Kogarashi: Pound her miserable little face into the ground...
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhhh draaaag)

009
Ryoko: It's by no means miserable.
Kogarashi: If that's the case then...
Quit making such a miserable face as you cut a guy down.
(Sfx- Chira glance)
Kogarashi: Dammitall. The preservative properties of my honey's scent have reached their limits.
This is it.

010
Kogarashi: Kill me.
Tip the scales in your favor and take the peace you so desire into your hands.
Kogarashi: And let me make this clear. If you decide NOT to do it and I somehow recover..
I WILL come back and kill your family.
(Sfx- Zokuuhhh throb)
(Sfx- Kyuuhh grind)

011
Kogarashi: That's right...
Kill me with some style.
(Sfx- Gobaaah craassssh)
(Sfx- Goooooohh fwhoooooom)
Parsley: My control over Broccoli is no longer in effect!!
Run for it, darlin!!!

012
(Sfx- Zobaaaah fwhooooom)
Parsley: Wha...
Kogarashi: You're...
(Sfx- Gaah tok)

013
Ryoko: I will never in my life ever forgive you for this.
I will never forget...
How you hurt my family and people precious to me.
And I will hate you for the rest of my life.
But...even with that.
Even if you're a person I detest with every bit of my being...

014
(Sfx- Gooooohhh whooooom)
Ryoko: Even you should...
be able to eat tomorrow and then on too.
I hate you, but you deserve to live and eat.
(Sfx- Para para clatter)

015
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmmble)
Ryoko: We have to leave this place now.
Kogarashi: Go then.
Ryoko: We're not leaving you behind.
Kogarashi: I'll be able to regenerate given a little time since Parsley is here with me.
Of course if you want to assure your safe passage now's your chance.
Look...
I'm standing up, yeah?

016
(Sfx-Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
Kogarashi: What are you doing Honey...
You get out of here too.
Despite what I said, this is the end of the road for me.
Parsley: And that's why I'm staying.
Us sinners should be together until the very end at least.

017
Parsley: I'll use the remaining scent I have on you.
I won't control any other foodsuffs.
That way we can watch the end together.
Kogarashi: No, get out of here.
Parsley: Why?
Kogarashi: It's true that stories of loyalty are the most glorious of them all...
But in truth what we really want...
is the ones that we love to live.

018
Parsley: That goes for me as well.

VOL 37: COLD IRON
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuzzu dooooom)
Kogarashi: So what are you gonna do, missy?
Everything before your eyes is your enemy.
(Bottom text- Kogarashi, Parsley, Broccoli. Despair looks down upon Ryoko....)
Kogarashi: Better not wimp out on me now...
Or do you want to drink up your friends deaths for a third time?
Ryoko: I won't let that happen....

003
Kogarashi: Heheh....Missy, maybe I'll have to show you that you've been dreaming a little too long.

004
Ryoko: There's no way you can show me anything.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuzu doooooom)
Kogarashi: Ah...
Yeah, yeah.
Hold on a minute...
I'll go kill one of 'em right now,
just listen out for the scream!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
(Sfx- Bagooohh fwhooom)

005
(Sfx- Dooouhh THOK)
Ryoko: Uughhhh
Kogarashi: Hah!

006
Ryousuke: Sis!!
Kogarashi: The world that you cling so desperately to is tiny!!
(Sfx- Zazazaaaa ssshshhhhh)
(Sfx- Gagagagagaga tmptmpmtmp)
(Sfx- Gokaah crack)
Ryoko: Kughhh!
(Sfx- Bitsuhh spitt)
Kogarashi: C'mon, the chin again?

007
Kogarashi: You've learned nothing!!
(Sfx- Booooh fwhoooom)
(Sfx- Guuhh grnnd)
(Sfx- Bitaaaannn thk)
Ryoko: Ngh.
My arm....
(Sfx- Futushhh shffft)

008
Parsley: You didn't forget about me, did you?
(Sfx- Gogonnn chewww)
Kogarashi: Hey, you've left your head wide open.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuhhh)
Kogarashi: You've been spouting childish crap this whole time,
Stuff like “fight me” and so on...
Stuff that even your mother wouldn't be able to stop laughing at.

009
(Sfx- Zudoooh thooom)
(Sfx- Gorogorogoro spinnnn)
(Sfx- Dooooooo whooooom)
Kogarashi: And now look at you.
You can't even protect yourself.
Have you come to your senses yet?
{I knew it....it's like he's....}
Ryoko: A northern wind.
Kogarashi: Huh?

010
Ryoko: See...
As much as you injure me, you can't break my will.
You're no more than a passing wind.
Kogarashi: ….Am I that easy to figure out?
HUH?!
(Sfx- Gooohh thokk)
(Sfx- Dogaaaah Thuuud)

011
Kogarashi: I was thinking you'd wise up, missy...
But forget it.
(Sfx- Zubooh plook)
{I haven't been able to protect them yet?}
(Sfx- Dooon thooom)
Kogarashi: Just die here without being able to protect anything...
including the friends you're watching over.
{Everyone...}

012
Rere: Why don't you rely on your big sis a little?
Ryousuke: Sis!!
Teacher: Be careful and carry on.
(Sxf- Zattshhh Sffft)

013
(Sfx- Gunnn grinnnd)
(Sfx- Dakaaahhh crack)
(Sfx- Doshaaah thooom)
Kogarashi: Whew...
(Sfx- Gooooooo whooooom)

014
Kogarashi: Hahahahah!
This is a scream!!
You actually came here with your halfassed attitude hoping you won't have to cut anyone!
You're nothing more than trash who weighs each person and considers them equal!
What I hate the most are people who don't have a firm grip on reality and only eat and sleep.
Ryoko: My reality is...
one which I protect everyone.
To be scolded by my older sister, to look after a boy,
and be cheered on by my family who's always looking out for me...
I am not someone who can live on my own.

015
Ryoko: I want to be someone who can rise above despair and sadness....
a wise and rational person who is both strong in body and heart,
however...
(Sfx- Boro boro drip drip)
Ryoko: But you who has everything....
is just extremely cold.
You have ice in your veins...
that you can't accept.

016
(Sfx- Jyakaaah clack)
Kogarashi: Stop it.
Don't look at me like that.
I have everything?!
Don't screw with me.
Why are you crying?
If you have time to feel sorry for me...
(Sfx- Dooohh whoooom)
Kogarashi: Then you can lose everything with a smile!!

017
{Listen Ryoko.}
{I've taught you how to hunt.}
{Not to kill.}
{I'm truly sorry master.}
Ryoko: Sympathy? No, that's not it.
Teacher: Don't become mistaken and cut down people.
There's too much of that karma for us as is.
{If I want to protect everyone...}
{Then I have no choice but to ready my weapon.}

018
(Sfx- Zooooon tslaaash)
Ryoko: This is self hatred and nothing else.

Zen: Y—yeah, I'm great...
(Sfx- Jiuuuwaaaah sizzzle)
Ryousuke: Oooh! We're outside!
(Handwritten- Hup)
Zen: Now all we gotta do is find Sis Rere and get the hell out of here.
Ryoko: Yeah, but we're really far from where we were seperated....
So we probably won't be able to find her so easil--

003
(Sfx- Tahh tpt)
Ryoko: Oh.
Rere: Wha...
Ah...
Ryoko...
(Sfx- Gahhh fwap)
Rere: I was worried about you, moroooon!!
Ryoko: Uwaaaaah! I was worried too y'know!!
Rere: And Ryousuke seems to be fine!!
Does it hurt anywhere, ya little runt?!
And you're covered in blood as usual, whitey.
(Sfx- Gashi gashi rub rub)
Zen: True that.
Rere: Ah, that's right Ryoko. I've got good news.

004
Rere: Kogarashi ain't coming back.
Zen: Sis, you aren't saying...
Rere: It's exactly what I just said. He's no longer with us.
I plugged him dead center with a bullet to the brain.
I killed him with my own two hands.
Ryoko: Huh!?
Rere-san, why would you take on such a heavy burden....
Rere: I'm fine.
We'd best get out of this city while avoiding any other foodstuffs.
Now let's get going!

005
Ryoko: Wait up Rere-san!!
Zen: Sorry about this Grand General, but lend me your shoulder?
Ryousuke: 'Kay!
(Sfx- Goshuuuuuhhhh fwhooooom)
Parsley: How's it feel to awaken as a monster?
(Sfx- shuuhhh)
Kogarashi: How I look doesn't matter. What I care about is what's going on inside.
Now then...

006
Parsley: So you're going then?
Kogarashi: Yeah.
Parsley: You really do have a thing for that girl, don't you?
I've never seen you grin as much as you do now.
Kogarashi: Izzat so?
Parsley: It is.
007
(Sfx- Guguuuhhh)
(Sfx- Boohhh fwhooom)
(Sfx- Gobaaah kablaaam)
Parsley: You really are a man who can...
do nothing but smile.
(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)
{You were the same way when we met too.}

008
{The only survivor among a mountain of corpses...}
{You were the only one sitting there grinning.}
{Whether it was out of something like sadness, or gratitude...}
{I had never seen an expression like yours when so close to death before.}
{You had already passed away, but...}
{I had become interested in you.}
(Sfx- Shuuuhhhhh)

009
Kogarashi: ….is my ass supposed to hurt this much when I'm dead?
Parsley: My scent has brought you back to life.
Kogarashi: Scent?
Parsley: That's right.
I'm able to control the functions of organisms that sniff it and cause hypertrophy.
The scent can in turn influence the brain and heal injuries or bring organisms back to life.
In short you who died have been reborn.
Little human.
(Sfx- Zudohh thd)
Kogarashi: I doubt I'd still be considered a human at this point...

010
Kogarashi: But it's funny....
I'm not sure if it's because I died and came back to life but...
My body feels...so much...
lighter.

011
(Sfx- Dooon Thoooom)
Rere: That's friggin' impossible!!
I know I killed him!!
(Sfx- Oooooooooh whoooooom)
Ryoko: Kogarashi.
Kogarashi: Hey there missy.
Taking a day off of school today?

012
Kogarashi: You couldn't have been sane thinking you'd come here and save everyone.
If you're so bound by all of these things you have to protect...
Then I'll gamble with my life to ensure you lose it all.
(Sfx- Shyuhhhh fwhoooom)
Zen: He's....
Ryoko: Everyone, stand back.
This time I will...
protect everyone!
(Sfx- Chakiii clack)
Kogarashi: Oh c'mon, I came to give you a hand and you're not happy?
Give me a smile at least.
Ryoko: The time you're happy...
isn't the same as when I am.
Kogarashi: I see...
You seem ready and raring to go, but...

013
Kogarashi: All I see is your leftover trash everywhere!!
Ryoko: I won't let you!!
(Sfx- Gaakiiii claaang)
(Sfx- Giyuuiiiiiii grnnnnnd)
Kogarashi: That's nice, but you've still got a long way to go.

Well?
C'mooon.
Where are the things you need to protect, Missy?
Ryoko: Aguh....

Honey, you really are the best.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhhh)
Parsley: Darling,
I'm the one who keeps granting you life.
So the one who'll watch over you until the end is me.
{The day that you were reborn....}
Kogarashi: Just calling you Parsley like other people is boring.
Parsley: Oh?
Kogarashi: So just call me darling,
honey.
{“I” was likely reborn too.}

I really dig it that even in a series which has an over the top premise like "Food comes to life and eats Japan" that the main villain (so far)'s backstory is as surprisingly domestic as Kogarashi's. Also 3 chapters in one go! I can do it when I try.

VOL 35: LOVE OF GLUTTONY

002
(Sfx- Gobaaaaahhh crarasssssh)
(Sfx- Gagorogorogorogoro roolllllll)
(Sfx- Zuzaaaahhhh dsssshhh)
Ryoko: Zen-kun!! Ryousuke!
Ryousuke: Sis!!
(Sfx- Kan kan clop clop)

003
(Sfx- Gyuuuhh huuuug)
Zen: Hey Ryoko, sup? You came at a good time...we were in a real tight spot....
Ryoko: I'm sorry...sorry I was so late...!
Thank you for protecting Ryousuke....protecting my family...!!
Zen: It was the Grand General here who saved me.
Ryousuke: Yeah!
Zen: By the way....where'd that foodstuff from earlier get to?
Ryoko: Huh?

004
Ryoko: Parsley is gone...
What's going on...?

005
???: Kogarashi, the bags on your eyes have gotten worse.
Kogarashi: Seems that way.
???: Seems that way? You always act as if it's someone else's problem...
Kogarashi: And you've said that today too.
???: It's great you come into work every day and put your utmost effort into it...
But it'd be trouble for me if your body breaks down on ya.
Heey! Break's over!

006
Kogarashi: I'm done for the day.
???: Oh, hey Kogarashi...
We were gonna hit up the Pachinko joint now, you should come with.
Other dude: You were the first one in this morning, right?
Kogarashi: Hahahah, I've got family waiting for me at home,
So I've gotta head back.
Sorry about this, really.
???: Man, talk about unable to read the mood.
Other dude: It's cause he can't think of anyone other than himself.
(Sfx- Chichichi tweet tweet)

007
Kogarashi: I'm back.
???: You're late.
Where'd you run off to and leave your poor parent behind?
Kogarashi: I have part time job at night.
I wish you'd remember that.
(Sfx- Gasa gasa rustle rustle)
???: And you mean to tell me they keep you this late? You're really out there screwing around aren't you?
Kogarashi: Work's hard, okay?
Now, let's have breakfast.
???: What's this?
(Sfx- Gasaah rustle)
Kogarashi: Hm? Oh right, a boxed lunch I got from the convenience store...

008
Kogarashi: But why....
???: When you were a kid what kind of Breakfasts did you get?
Answer me!
Kogarashi: Hand made, right?
???: Exactly!
So you too have to make these yourself!
Kogarashi: I'm sorry mom. I'll make it right away.

009
{Three years ago, while on their way to a travel destination, my parents were in a car accident.}
{Unable to wait for the traffic signal, they crashed into a truck. Other cars were involved, and it became a huge accident.}
{Three people were killed in the accident. While they managed to save my mom, she returned half paralyzed.}
{However at the time her new husband she had just gotten married to wasn't able to be saved..}
{And my third Dad who wasn't that far from me in age died.}
{Dad left behind a difficult mother who can't use the bathroom on her own, and all of his major debts.}
{And in the middle of this was that mother's only son.}
(Sfx- Shaaaaah ssssshhhhh)
(Sfx- Kacha kacha clack clack)

010
{At night, I worked to pay off my mother's medical expenses,}
{And passed the days as my mother's caretaker.}
{Unable to do anything for herself, my mother just ate.}
{And slept repeatedly.}
{Whenever she was awake, her thoughts were...}
Mom: Is the food ready yet?

011
Mom: You're always so spendthrift when it comes to food!!
Can't you get me something higher class to eat?!
Kogarashi: Should I make it again?
Mom: After I've eaten everything, you can.
(Sfx- mucha kucha cheww munch)
{My mother's appetite...}
{Won't be satisfied with just this...}
{Ahh...}
{Mom...}
{Eating that much...}
{And somehow staying alive...}
(Sfx- Bahh fwap)

012
{How could I think such a thing...}
Kogarashi: I'm headed out for a bit tomorrow, Mom.
I'll make more rice and leave it behind for you.
Mom: Huh?
Did something happen?
Kogarashi: Tomorrow's the third year anniversary of Dad's death.
Guy: What did you come here for?

013
Kogarashi: I'm sorry.
I'll be leaving right away, but I just wanted to leave this..
Flowers from my mother.
Guy: We don't want it!
(Sfx- Bashiii fwap)
Guy: That middle aged harpy can stay the hell away from us...
And we don't want to see her son here ever again either!!
Lady: That's right!
She's a seductress who took doesn't know her own age and decieved our child!!
And then she saved herself...!!
Your mother is a murderer plain and simple!!
You're her son aren't you?
Then say something!!
Kogarashii: Hahahah....

014
(Sfx- Gatan goton gatan gotooon)
{And after that...}
{The world was suddenly broken.}
{Outside of the train too was the picturesque of hell.}
(Sfx- Guraaaaaah rarraaaahhhhgh!)
Kogarashi: I'm sure glad I made everything we had yestrday...
(Sfx- Gyaaaaaaah)

015
{I actually got to watch as my limbs were ripped from my body.}
{With this I couldn't take care of mom anymore.}
{If I died my mother would also starve to death.}
{She wasn't a good mother by any stretch of the imagination...}
{But even then I loved her as the only blood family I had.}
{Right now it was obvious I'd lose the most important person to me.}
Kogarashi: However...why...
Despite this much...
I still want to be saved?

016
{Ah my new Goddess...}
{Rescue me more...}
(Sfx- Pachii blink)
(Sfx- Mukuuhh)
Parsley: So you're finally awake.
Kogarashi: Parsley...
Why are you here?

017
Parsley: I came running when I heard you had been defeated, darlin'.
Right now those kids are making their escape with the germ.
Kogarashi: With him?
Then that means Ubume-san has run away then?
You're quite persistant...
missy...
{You're the one who defeated the Abalone, huh?}
{It's us.}
{Big sister will take care of them.}
{Fight me, coward!!}
{If you wanna hate someone, hate yourself.}
{I'll save them for sure.}
{Once you've lost something...}
{You'll understand too.}

018
Kogarashi: We're going after them.
Parsley, use your scent on me directly.
Parsley: ….You'll lose your humanity, you know?
(Sfx- Bushuuuhhh wfhooooom)
(Sfx- Bakya bakya bakya crackle crackle crackle)
Kogarashi: I stopped being human a long time ago, Honey.
You and I are the same now.

I've always liked Zen, but after this chapter --heck, this arc I actually think he's kinda cool now.

Volume 34: THE ENCOUNTER

002
(Sfx- Dosaah thuud)

003
(Sfx- Zaah zaaah zaaah tmptmtmp)
(Sfx- Zohhhh)
Rere: Dammitall....

004
Rere: Who knew shooting someone....
Leaves this kind of horrible aftertaste?
I can't keep hanging here...
Ryoko's bound to be fine.
I gotta find Whitey and Ryousuke and get the hell out of this forest.

005
(Sfx- Guooooh)
Zen: Ngggggggh....
I will protect....
The...
Grand General!!

006
Ubume: He's opening up his wounds?!
Stop right there Melon!!
(Sfx- Pitaaah poit)
Ubume: I thought it was strange you were able to break through those reinforced restraints....
To think your ability to rot...
Would be strongest in your blood...
Zen: Hah..
Hah...
Hah...
Hah...
And it'd be easy to rot things now.
Hah.

007
Zen: Now then, come at me any way you want.
Not that it matters as I'm going to rot anything you throw at me.
Ubume: You're like a human weapon....
How sad.
(Sfx- Gyunyahh winnnd)
Zen: Wha? Our surroundings are...
Ubume: If it's come to this, then I think I'll stop here.
There's no parent in this world that takes joy in watching their children get hurt.
Zen: Wh—hey! Come back here!!
Ubume: Besides, with that much blood loss you'll die before long anyway.
Though, let me tell you something..

008
Ubume: The floor of which your blood is polluting....
As well as the walls
and the ceiling...
In fact everything around you is..
made of foodstuffs.
I'll properly dispose of you all later, so there's no need to worry.
I no longer need you....
My imperfect children.
(Sfx- Zunnn)
Ryousuke: General! The Room is wiggling around!!
Zen: Imperfect Children?

009
Ryousuke: General!!
Zen: Yeah....
It seems like this place is completely made of foodstuffs....
So we should get out of here fast.
(Sfx- Gohhh thoooom)

010
Zen: What the heck are these things?
Are they foodstuffs?
(Sfx- Doooonn thoom)
Zen: You get out of here first!
And don't you dare look back, got it?!
(Sfx- Zoooooooh whooooom)

011
Zen: Just keep running!!!

012
Zen: Guaaaah!!!
Step off....
Jerk!!
I'm not letting you through!!!
(Sfx- Dosuhh thoook)

013
{My body is getting heavy...}
Zen: I can't rot these guys....!!
{Hey don't go blacking out on me now.}
{Please just let me keep running...}
{Ten seconds....hell, I'll even take one.}
{Just give me the strength to buy Ryousuke some time to get away!!}
Zen: Why would that woman make foodstuffs that are half concrete....

014
(Sfx- Doshsaaaah thudd)
Zen: Didn't I tell you not to look back?!

015
{If Ryousuke can get out of here alive that's all that matters...!!}
(Sfx-Booofuhhh)
(Sfx- Dooohh whooom)
(Sfx- Gashhiiih Grab)

016
(Sfx- Baahhh fwaaah)
(Sfx- Zuuuun doooom)
(Sfx- Michimichimichimichii grrnnnnnnd)
Ryousuke: General....

017
Zen: Dammit whoulda thought our Grand General would take after his big sister?
You've got guts.
(Sfx- Jyuuuwahh)

018
Parsley: Oh my.
Ryoko: Zen-kun?! Ryousuke?!

[English] [Translation] RYOKO 33 by Bomber D Rufi

2019-05-27T21:51:09+00:00

Brought to you by my recent purchase of volume four which contains these chapters. Dude I'm much further behind than I'd like to be...

VOL 33: THE NAKED GENERAL

002
Rere: Ryoko!!!
(Sfx- Ooooooooh whoooom)
Ryoko: Guh!
Parsley: Welcome to the depths.
Okra, Toss her to the ground.
(Sfx- Buuunn whffff)

003
(Sfx- Dahh tak)
(Sfx- Kan kan kan kan clop clop clop)
(Sfx- Zuzazazazaaaah shhhhhh)
Parsley: Okra....that's a wall. You always were lacking in intellgence.
Putting that aside, you're quite the athletic one, aren't you?
Ryoko: You're that foodstuff that was with Kogarashi....

004
Parsley: “Foodstuff”. What a barbaric way to refer to someone...this is why you're an endangered species.
I have a name you know? It's Parsley.
Ryoko: It's unlikely you'll tell me but I'll ask anyway....where are the two people you kidnapped, Parsley?
Parsley: Tehee. Not telling.
I can smell the scent of your strength. It seems I really do have to be rid of you before you get any closer to Kogarashi.
(Sfx- Haahh fwaah)
Ryousuke: Big Bro Zen!!

005
Ubume: Awake are we, little one?
Zen: Ryousuke?! Thank goodness you're okay! You're not hurt anywhere are you?
I'm 'bout ready to punish these bad guys here and then we can head home.
So get ready to run on my signal!
Ubume: You're sooo relaxed despite the situation.
I haven't the time to waste so let us continue the experiment.
(Sfx- Doohhh thok)

006
Zen: Kahah
(Sfx- Patatahhh drip)
Ubume: Interesting...so your sweat and bodily fluids have poisonous properties to them.
And the range of it's effectiveness is whatever it touches.
While it is true you are the rumored “Germ”, I have to say compared to your reputation this is rather disappointing.
I do wonder why that person thought of you as such a threat?
Zen: ...It's like I've been asking....what the hell is a germ?
Ubume: There are loftier foodstuffs than my children who want to use...
the germ's powers.
(Sfx- Gichiiii cleeeench)
Zen: Gah.

007
Ubume: But I was told that if said powers couldn't prove useful that I could kill you.
Taking your powers into consideration, I believe I'll sentence you to strangling.
Ubume: Take your time dying, germ.
Zen: Guuuhhhhh
Aaaghhhhh
Ryousuke: Stooop!!
Don't go, Big Bro Zeeeen!!!
Ubume: That child has more energy than my own....
He will make delicious bait.
(Sfx- Buchhiiiin)

008
Ubume: Sweet dreams, Germ.

009
(Sfx-Gooohh thok)
Ubume: How...
(Sfx- Dosaaaah thuuud)
Zen: I won't let you take even ONE of my friends!!
010
Ubume: How did you get out of those restraints....?!
(Sfx- Botabota drip drip)
(Sfx- Surusurusuru dsshhhh)
{It couldn't be....his blood?! He gouged out his palms to create openings to bleed through?}
{That's utter foolishness...!!}
(Sfx- Garriii chomp)
Zen: ORRAAHHHH!!! BLOODY SWIIING!!!
(Sfx- Batatatata bllllrsssh)

011
(Sfx- Juuuwahhh bllllrosh)
Zen: Get down here Ryousuke!!
Ryousuke: O—Okay!!
Zen: Nice Jump!!
Ryousuke: Big Bro Zen!!
Zen: You did a good job hanging in there, dude! Though can I ask for one more favor?
Ryousuke: What?
Ubume: You've got guts thinking you can escape from me in the bewildering forest.
Awaken, Melon.

012
Melon: MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH
Zen: Ohhh man, things are looking bad again.
(Sfx- Ooooohhh)
Zen: Listen up Ryousuke! If we run, there's an exit up ahead.
I'll hold these guys back!
Ryousuke: Eeeh?!
No! I want to stay with you! I don't wanna be alone!
Zen: They'll capture us both if we stay here! Go, there's no time!!
Ryousuke: No! I don't want to just watch anymore!!

013
(Sfx- Dobaaah plooot)
(Sfx- Dododododo thothththooom)
Zen: These are seeds....
Cough...I'm beggin ya Ryousuke, go on ahead...
Ryousuke: N—no. I don't want to...
I don't want to go alone! I want to fight with you!!
Zen: Then I won't ask you as Ryousuke, but as the Grand general!!

014
Ryousuke: Grand...General?
Zen: That's right. From today onward, you're stronger than a General...you're a Grand General!!
And the Grand General relies on his General. It's the General's job in turn to protect the Grand General!!
Because the Grand General's job is to complete the mission!! In order to do that he has to have a whole butt-load of amazing determination!
And it's because I know you have that determination that you can leave this to me, right Grand General?!
Ryousuke: I have amazing determination....
(Sfx- Goshi goshi rub rub)
Ryousuke: Yeah...
You can leave this to me, Big Bro Ze—General!!

015
Ubume: Your struggles are meaningless!
(Sfx-Tatadd tmptmp)
Zen: And that's how it goes...
My Grand General!!
(Sfx- Gahhh)
(Sfx- Pikuhhh poit)

016
Rere: Ow....I got separated from Ryoko....Though it's good I'm unharmed..
Looks like this one's no good either...
And the cast on my arm is gone...I'd better find a way to meet up with everyone and fast.
(Sfx- Yoro wobble)
???: Whoa there, looks like we have another guest aside from the one we invited...
Could it be that Parsley thought you wouldn't be much of a threat? What am I gonna do with her.

017
Rere: You're the suit bastard!
Kogarashi: Better keep cool so the Broccoli doesn't get spooked.
(Sfx- Nitaah grin)
Rere: Hahaha...
To think I'd be the one to find you before Ryoko did.....
Is this an act of divine intervention?
Kogarashi: Hmmm? And what are you muttering about down there?

018
(Sfx- Boso boso whisper)
Rere: Even though you were stepping on my face, I could hear you wrecking the Tenba's house looooud and clear.
While I did come here to save Whitey and Ryoko's kid brother, in all honesty I was hoping to see you again too.
Ryoko's naiieve, so it's far too soon for her to go cutting down other people. She's too innocent to face a guy like you....
Kogarashi: Dude, could you like...speak up?
I can't----
(Sfx- Dopaaaah blorsh)
(Sfx- Gagangangan blam blam blam)
Rere: I'm talkin' about how the one who acts first, wins!!

[English] [Translation] RYOKO 32 by Bomber D Rufi

2019-04-14T03:16:14+00:00

Hmm, even after translating it I feel like the title doesn't quite match the chapter itself, and usually Mitsuhashi is good at that kinda thing. Granted I get what he was going for, so it's not like completely out there or without merit.

(Top text- A special thanks for your huge response!! The “City in the sea of trees” arc steadily heats up!!)

(Centering text- Within the album is a daily life of days long ago.)
VOL 32: CATCH ON FIRE
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- Ryoko vs Broccoli!!)
Broccoli: I have no desire to see any more your detestable appearances progress any further in my garden, humans.
You will disappear –your remains scattered as fertilizer for the earth.
(Sfx- Guukuunnn grinnnd)
Rere: Wha?!
(Sfx- Gokaaahhh crasssh)

003
(Sfx- Goooooooh rmmmmm)
Rere: So this is an ingredient that can understand words and speak too?!
I'm sure bullets ain't gonna work on him, but it's not like it's gonna just let us run away either, yeah?
How do you wanna tackle this one, Ryoko?!
Do you have some kind of battle plan?
Ryoko: Rere-san, you stay here.
Rere: Wha?
(Sfx- Baahhh whoosh)
Rere: Hey Ryoko?!
Isn't rushing this thing head on a bad idea?!
(Sfx- Chatsuh click)
(Sfx- Kan kan tmp tmp)

004
(Sfx- Kann clack)
Ryoko: Hey,
I have a proposal for you.
Lend me your strength.
(Sfx- Zatsuhh dadoom)
Rere: Huh...!?
Wait a sec Ryoko, what are you talking about?
Ryoko: Of course I don't mean to ask you to help me for nothing. This is a trade.

005
Broccoli: …...
A trade you say?
Ryoko: That's right. After all, it's not our objective to fight you.
We've come here looking for our beloved friends and family!
(Sfx- Zakuh tok)
Broccoli: It is the same for me. Thus I must kill you filth.
So you don't get a choice in the matter –this will be a battle to the death.
Ryoko: We only hunt the bare minimum necessary to support our daily lives.
I want to avoid any unnecessary taking of lives.
Rere: Get down from there right away! It's gonna kill you!!
Broccoli: You dare...

006
Broccoli: Provoke me with your nonsense!?
(Sfx- Dotsuh thooom)
Broccoli: You grossly overestimate your worth as one human girl!
Do you think your words alone will sway me –the master of the very garden you stand in?!
Rere: Are you okay?!
(Sfx- Gooooooooh whoooom)
(Sfx- Buukuhh)
Broccoli: Why are you still standing?
Ryoko: I...
Want to settle things with Kogarashi and take everyone back home!!
(Sfx- Kiiiii)

007
(Sfx- Ooooooooooooohhhh whooooom)
Broccoli: Settle things?
You intend to oppose them then?
Ryoko: So you know his name, huh?
I figured since you said you didn't want any more humans here that he had come this way.
Seems I was right about that.
Moreover it's safe to assume you're none too thrilled with him being here either.
But then if that's the case why didn't you chase him out immediately?
Broccoli: It was just a moment ago! There was a being of incredible strength backing him up and a direct confrontation would have been dangerous for this place.
If it weren't for that being I would have killed him without a second thought!
Ryoko: So in short, you can't touch him.
Then, let me do it for you –I'll chase him and all of them out of here.

008
Broccoli: Little brat! I give you a moment of mercy and you continue to test my patience!!
(Sfx- Bogaaaahhh craaaash)
(Sfx- Gooooohh whoooom)
Ryoko: Then are you saying you'll continue to let detestable humans into your territory forever?

009
Broccoli: Why do you stand up?
Why do you not fall?
Ryoko: The people I search for are irreplaceable to me.
So until I save them I will continue to stand up as many times as it takes.
This deal will ensure that the unnecessary elements in your midst are removed as well.
I can't imagine it's a bad deal for you either.
Broccoli: ….Fine then.

010
Broccoli: I will lead you to the underground area those parasites inhabit.
In exchange you will eliminate them without fail.
But do not forget.
The moment you return to the surface, our deal is over.
And it is at that moment I will be rid of you lot –every single one.
Rere: Bastard! So from the start you---
Ryoko: I have no objections to that.

011
Rere: Ryoko....
Ryoko: It's only this Broccoli that knows the place we're searching for...
So we're going along with it, okay?
Rere: ...I'm asking you for this favor too!
Broccoli: Then it's decided.
(Sfx- Zuuuhh)
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhh sdddddsh)
Broccoli: I will show you where to go at once.

012
Broccoli: Now come.
(Sfx- Goshaaaah)
Rere: So you want us to just entrust our lives to you?!
Don't screw with us!
Broccoli: There isn't another way. Becoming lost in this forest is the end.
You won't even realize when you have died.
Ryoko: Rere-san, this is...
(Sfx- Nunuuhh grrrrr)
Broccoli: Now get on.

013
(Sfx- Gogogoggo Rmmmmmble)
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzzunnn dddshhh)
Ryoko: It's so bumpy....
Rere: Be gentler to my butt as you move, dammit!!
Geez, first the Abalone, and then the Broccoli...you just keep doing incredibly crazy things....
(Sfx- Goooooooo rmmmmmble)
Ryoko: I—I suppose you're right. I didn't think I'd be able to make a deal with a foodstuff....

014
Broccoli: It's here.
That giant hole connects everything here in the forest of wandering.
I'll cut through everything until you reach your place of destination.
Rere: Awwright, I'll sock that Kogarashi dude a good one.
{Wait for us Zen-kun, Ryousuke...!!}
(Sfx- Goooooooooh whoooooom)

015
Parsley: Oh if it isn't Broccoli.
And when did you start your new career as a train?
Broccoli: Parsley...!!
Parsely: This just won't do.

016
(Sfx- Dokuuunnn throooob)
(Sfx- Jiuuuhhhh)
Rere: Wha...feels like he just suddenly stopped moving....
Broccoli: BROOOOOOOOOOOOOH
(Sfx- Gooohhh thoooom)
(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)
Ryoko: Kyaaaaah!!
Rere: We've been caaaaught!!!

017
Parsley: Okra...
It's that girl there.
(Sfx- Gyuunnn *grnnnd)

Vol. 31: THE SURFACE
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- What nefarious plans does the mystery woman Ubume have for Zen who is captive in the City in the sea of trees?)
Ubume: Now then Germ, if you would show me the true extent of your powers...
Zen: Huh?
You seem a bit different than the person who brought me here...
Who are you?
Kogarashi: Talkin' about me, Germ?
Zen: You didn't do anything to my friends, right?
(Sfx- Birii zzt)

003
Kogarashi: Of course not. I swore to god and all that stuff back then, yeah? I didn't lay a finger on your buddies.
Moreover you shouldn't go doubting folks like that unless you wanna lose friends.
Zen: Wha...you kidnapped Ryousuke too?!
Kogarashi: Hm?
Oh whaaaat? You mean this little tyke was one of your buddies too? You shoulda told me that sooner,
dude.
Ubume: Fufu...You seem to be quite acquainted with the Germ, hmm?
Things would go smoothly if you just did as I said, but it doesn't appear you will listen.
It is good that bait was brought along after all.

004
(Sfx- Mukuhh tpmth)
Zen: It's crazy....
How just one or two words...
Have made it clear that I need to think of you as bad guys.
Ubume: To be able to rot the stems in mere seconds...the power you possess is incredible.
Please allow me to test it in other ways.
Kogarashi: Now if you'll excuse me Ubume-san, I'm out of here.
I don't have any interest in your –frankly disturbing taste in experimentation.
(Sfx- Gataaa clatter)

005
Ubume: Oh my, leaving already? It's only going to get more interesting from here.
Kogarashi: Yeah, I have a few things that I need to polish off
I did say it earlier, yeah? There's a dangerous sort out there –a lot like you Ubume-san.
And it's bound to become a major threat someday.
So while we're able to use Ryoosuke-kun as a shield...
I gotta kill that little lady.
(Sfx- Basaaah fwappp)
(Sfx- Dadaaah daaaash)

006
(Sfx- Shushushuuhhh whiiiiff)
Ubume: Potatoes.
(Sfx- Shyuwawawahhh wffffffttt)
Ubume: Give him more.
(Sfx- Gashiiii graab)
(Sfx- Gattsuhh dddsh)

007
(Sfxz- Gakunnn tak)
Kogarashi: Hm? So lil' missy is your friend too? That's news to me.
(Sfx- Oooooooooh whoooooom)
Ubume: Be that as it may, your opponent is this potato I grew personally.
(Sfx- Guuuhh grinddd)
Zen: Ahh, I get it. You guys don't have a shred of human decency, huh?

008
Zen: This time I was just short of reaching you, but...
Eventually this hand will be able to grab you.
So I suggest you keep that umbrella spread enough to keep your head safe.
Because I'm coming, and I'll rot both that umbrella and your head into pieces.
Ubume: Heheheh....so you think you can rot people too? You have such amusing ideas.
Kogarashi: Sounds fun germ. I'll be waiting for it.

009
Kogarashi: That is of course you can find a means of dealing with the dangerous situation you're presently in.
Tell ya what, I'll pray that your death is quick and painless.
You're underestimating Ubume-san too much.
Smell ya later...
Germ.

010
Kogarashii: Well, well. If it isn't my precious honey-bunny.
Parsley: You sure took your sweet time despite knowing how much I dislike that woman.
Kogarashi: Heh, it's all good. That guy was just a bit on the energetic side is all.
More importantly, how's the vibe outside been?
Parsley: She's here, and was raising all kinds of hell until she met up with the Broccoli.
Kogarashi: I knew she'd show up. Though it seems a lot of people around here don't get why I took a hostage in the first place.
Though really I was more hoping she'd take it as a “don't follow us or else” threat when I kidnapped the kid.
Putting that aside, she's gotta have some guts to get this far out here in the first place. Right? Honey.
Parsley: Hmph, weird thing for the guy who dropped fat hints telling her how to get here to say.

011
Parsley: Are you interested in that girl?
Kogarashi: Yeah...
She's a monster.
(Sfx- Oooooonnnn veoooooom)
Ryoko: Ah....

012
Ryoko: That's just the head?! How huge is it....?
Rere: It's just one after another....we didn't come here to see matryoshka dolls!

KAITO MITSUHASHI

002
(Side text- Take back Ryousuke and Zen! Ryoko and and Rere come to the city in the sea of trees! Now to start the search!! Is what they thought, but...)
Ryoko: Zen and Ryousuke are somewhere in this city...!!
(Sfx- Hyuuuuhhh whoooooooo)
(Sfx- Doooooooo whooooom)
Rere: Daaaamn...
So? Where do we start looking?

003
Ryoko: We'll follow their footprints! They've gotta be somewhere, right?
Rere: That'll take days!
(Sfx- Ueeeh ugh)
Rere: It's stupid to wander around aimlessly...ugh. Just leave it to me.
(Sfx- Suuuhh inhaaale)
Rere: HEEEEEEY! JERK-IN-A-SUIT!!!!
GET YOUR SLIMY ASS OUT HERE!!
Ryoko: C'mon Rere-san! You're going to make my heart stop!!
(Handwritten- Oopsie.)
Rere: What, did my reverberate your entire soul?
Ryoko: And I'm telling you that's a bad thing!

004
(Sfx- Shiiiiiiin nooooothing)
Rere: Huh?
No effect huh.
Ryoko: Rere-san, your way of doing things isn't going to get us anywhere...
(Sfx- Haaah sigh)
Rere: Better than piddlin' around looking for footprints.
Anyway...
(Sfx- Musuhh poit)
(Sfx- Bagooooh thoooom)

005
Ryoko: Kyaaah!!
(Sfx- Goooohh Thoooom)
Rere: Wah!
What's that thing and where did it come from?!
Rere: Crap! Outta room!!
Oh dam--
(Sfx- Guwaaaaah roaaar)

006
Rere: Ryoko!!
(Sfx- Gaaaah roaaar)
Rere: You saved my ass!
What kinda foodstuff is that?
Ryoko: A mustard potherb.
Quick, we've gotta get somewhere safe!
(Sfx- pishiiii crackle)
(Sfx- Zuruuhh dsssh)

007
Rere: Yaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Potherb: NAAAAAAAHHHHH
Rere: We're gonna dieeeeeeee!!!
(Sfx- Goooooo rrrrrrrrrh)

(Sfx- Gagagagagagaga dsdddhhhhhh)
(Sfx- Gugugugu grnnnnd)
(Sfx- Pitah pth)

009
Rere: Huh?
T---
That was a close one, huh?
Ryoko: Sure looks like it...
Rere: Whewww, damn that was dangerous.
You saved me Ryoko!
(Sfx- Dooooooohh whoooooom)
Rere: But geez, we sure fell a long way.
Hm? What's up Ryoko?

010
Ryoko: There was a foodstuff that close but I didn't even realize it...
Rere: What, are you saying they've got some sorta presence or somethin' like that most of the time?
Ryoko: Yeah, besides their smells, foodstuffs have special properties –a presence unique to them....but in this case there was nothing of the sort.
I wonder why that is..
Rere: There's no need to worry about that sorta thing right now since we managed it somehow. We'll just figure it out when the next one comes.
Ryoko: I guess so.
Rere: Not even a mustard potherb can survive a fall from that distance huh?
(Sfx- Guchaaahhh)
(Sfx- Funn hmph)
Rere: Just deserts for thinkin' you were gonna eat us, bub.

011
Ryoko: Rere-san, over here.
We couldn't really tell when we were looking from above, but....
Now that we've entered a bit it seems all kinds of things are blocking our field of vision.
(Sfx- Zazazaza shsffsfssff)
{We just let down our guards for a moment and we've become totally lost...}
Rere: So how about we head over there for a minute? My throat's kinda dry from all the screamin' for our lives, y'know, and I see a place to drink.
Ryoko: Could you be a little less nonchalant?!
Rere: Hey now, the most important thing here is cool down.
(Handwritten- Though, really we fell down~)
Rere: Hmm...
(Sfx- Dododododdodo)

012
(Sfx- Dododododdodo)
Rere: Mmm....
It's a little muddy but still pretty.
This water---
(Sfx- Goboohh blooosh)
(Sfx- Dorooohh)
Rere: And now something nasty is coming out from the water!
(Sfx- Bikiiih crack)
{Ugh, I can't move as quick as I want!!}
Ryoko: Rere-san, over here!! Hurry!
Rere: Dammit!!

013
Rere: Ryoko! There's mustard potherb coming out the side!!
(Sfx- Zorooooooh whoooom)
{Wha?! To think the stalks are all separate bodies?}
Ryoko: It split?!
{It's from that assembly earlier?!}
Potherb: NANANANANANANANAAAA
Rere: What'll we do?
Ryoko: Into that building!

014
Rere: It's not coming after us here which is great, but this place looks like it could collapse at any second!
Can you really not cut down things that can't be eaten?!
Ryoko: Wh—when the time comes I can cut them, I'm sure!
Rere: Wouldn't that time be now?!
Whatever, I'll just fill all of them with holes!!
Ryoko: Ah! Did you even look at how many there are out there?!
Ryoko: Ugggh, fine, I get it! I'll use the katana....
(Sfx- Pota drip)

015
(Sfx- Zuuhhhh dooooom)
Ryoko: From above?!
{Nappa Cabbage?!}
{And I didn't sense it's presence at all!!}
Nappa: CHAANIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
Rere: Whoa! It's gonna be tough for me to take out something this huge!!

016
(Sfx- Boko boko ddssschraaash)
Monster: KYABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

017
Monster: Kyaabaaaaaaaaaaaah
{Ahhh it all makes sense now.}
{It's no coincidence that I couldn't sense the presence of the foodstuffs...}
{It's because their presence was dwarfed by the one of this giant foodstuff...}
(Sfx- Bakuuunnn chomp)

018
(Sfx- Patssunnn drip)
(Sfx- Pachi blink)
Zen: Ugh...
Owww....
Ubume: Awake are we?
Now then, allow me to test if you're the genuine article.

(Side text -Zen and Ryousuke have been taken! This new place is filled with an oppressive creepiness...)

003
Parsley: He seems heavy, Darlin'.
You want to trade with me?
Kogarashi: No way. If I'm so bad off that I need to give you this...
then I'd be better off just disposing of this garbage now.
Parsley: Is that so? Then scoot along quickly to the gathering place. I'd like to get there today if you don't mind.
Kogarashi: Fiiiine.

004
Kograsahi: Here, right?
Parsley: Oh my, it's quite an open space, huh?
???: I”ve been waiting.
You did bring the germ with you right?
(Sfx- Zooooooohh whoooooom)
???: Kogarashi-kun.
Kogarashii: And why are you here?

005
Kogarashi: Ubume-san.
Ubume: Well it is my garden, no?
It'd be stranger if I wasn't here.
Kogarashi: We're here as ordered. Where are the rice superiors?
Ubume: Heheh...the inquisitive type are we?

006
Ubume: They're a little busy with something that they can't tear themselves away from, so I'm standing as their representative.
Until they come this place will serve as a detention area.
Kogarashi: Hmph, if that's the case then I'll leave 'em here and be done with ths job.
Parsley: Perfect.
(Sfx- Dosaah thud)
Ubume: And the child?
Kogarashi: I met a dangerous little lady...in fact she's like you, Ubume-san.
I'd like to see how dangerous she'll get, which is where the hostage comes in.

007
Ubume: Sounds troublesome.
Kogarashi: Heheh, by the way that little lady is on her way here to take those two back.
It's likely she'll come through you to get to me.
Ubume: That's fine.
(Sfx- Zuzuhhh ssshft)
Ubume: I'll give her a warm welcome.
Children who lose their way and end up here are never seen again.
This is the city in the sea of trees –the forest of wandering.

(Sfx- Gabaahh rstle)
Rere: OW!
Ryoko: Rere-san!!
Rere: Ryoko?!
What the hell is going on---wah!
Ryoko: Rere-san!! Thank goodness...
Everyone's been....*sniffle*
Rere: It's okay...
Just take it easy, all right? Calm down.

010
Rere: So that's it huh....
Ryousuke and whitey were taken to the city in the sea of trees...
And Dad's fast asleep...
Ryoko: Yeah....
Rere: How the hell did this happen, dammit...
{After everything Dad moved without hesitation.}
Dad: Uuugh...is everyone okay?
Ryoko: Dad! You're still conscious?
Dad: Ryoko, is that you? Thank goodness...
{He kept my courage up and gave everyone medical treatment.}
{He nearly lost consciousness a few times but still kept the faith.}
{Meanwhile I...}
Dad: Hah...hah...
All right, where are Zen-kun and Ryousuke?

011
Ryoko: I—I'm sorry....
Dad: No way....
Ryoko: I wasn't able to protect them....
Dad: ...Why is it always...
Me who has it so hard?
If her daughter is making that face, then Mama's going to yell at me.
{It was so frustrating...}
Dad: It's not your fault Ryoko....
{I was the one who said I'd protect everyone...}
(Sfx- Zurururu ssssh)
{I'm the one who's most worried about the family...}
{So I should know it best...}

012
{How Dad and everyone else's desires didn't come true...}
(Sfx- Gata clatter)
Rere: And so,
It's obvious we're gonna go rescue them, right?
Ryoko: Yup! But I don't know where the city in the sea of trees is...
Rere: No worries, I have a pretty good idea of where to find it.
Ryoko: Huh? Really?
Rere: Yeah, When I broke out and was making my way to Dish city I saw a place where a name like that would be totally fitting.
There was some really freaky stuff going on in the scenery there....I still remember it even now.

013
Rere: Though going there is one thing....
You do know we're gonna have to fight with that Kogarashii dude again, yeah?
{Even if right now I don't have the strength required to make that desire come true...}
{I'll keep reaching out toward it until the very end.}
Ryoko: Even then we will bring those two back home!
Rere: Then it's decided.
I'll show that asshole what it's like to piss off an older sister!

014
Rere: We should reach it once we pass through Dish city!
Ryoko: Okay!
(Sign- From this point forward: Kurokogawa City.)
{This is the first time I've been so far from home...}

015
{It's all places and things I haven't seen...}
Rere: Ryoko! Ahead!!
Ryoko: Waaah!
Rere: Gah!!
Ah!
That was close....
(Sfx- Dooooooooo)
Ryoko: This is...

016

017

018
Rere: Yeah, I remember this all right....we're here.
Ryoko: What kind of place is this?
The ground has given away and she shape has changed...
The fallen buildings have become a part of the earth...
Rere: If what you heard is right, then...
Ryoko: Zen-kun and Ryousuke are somewhere in this forest..!!

{This isn't good...I'll have to finish this fast.}
Kogarashi: Aw, is he really that bad off?
He can wait a bit for us right missy?
Ryoko: What did you come here for?

003
Kogarashi: Sorry 'bout that kiddo. I was thinking he'd just die from that.
Didn't think he'd suffer instead, y'know?
(Sfx- Chiraa glare)
Kogarashi: Don't you go running off on me though. I'm not the type to turn my back on my responsibilities.
{He's dangerous.}
{Without any hesitation he completely ignores our morals and logic....!}
Kogarashi: The silent treatment? You're gonna make a guy lonely here.
Just when I finally had met folks of the same species....
{It's likely he only sees other people as tools for his use.}
{I'm scared....}
{I never thought I'd ever be terrified of another human like this.}
Ryousuke: Sis!

004
Ryousuke: I brought your geta and katana!
(Sfx- Gashaaah)
Ryoko: Ryousuke, when did you....
Ryoko: Th—thank you, but hurry back into the house!
Ryousuke: W-wait!
I—I want to beat up...
The bad guy who hurt everybody.
B—But I can't do it so...
Sis you have--
Ryoko: It'll be okay.
I'm sorry you had to say that Ryousuke....
But don't worry...

005
Ryoko: Big sis is going to take care of him.
(Sfx- Goooooooo rummmmble)
Kogarashi: Hahaha! Is that a katana? Sweet!
Turns out you've got quite the killer intent after all, huh?
This is going to be a scream.

Are you saying you won't cut me down?
(Sfx- Chakkiii clack)

Well, whatever.

Hnnnghhh
FIGHT ME
YOU COWARD!!

013
Kogarashi: Shut your noise hole,
and give me the germ.
I knew from the start that they're here.
Or, what, do you want to have a front row seat to me beating your brother to death with my bare hands?
I'm down with that option too, really.
Ryoko: No...wait...please...
Kogarashi: Heh...Now's a good time to speak up and maybe I'll let you go without hurting him.
I'd like to head back home with my honey now.

014
(Sfx- Deennnnn)
Ryoko: Ze---Zen-kun?
Zen: Sorry for bein' late.
I got caught up with some potatoes.
Kogarashi: So you're the one I need. Get down here.
Zen: If you need me, I'll come with you.
But in exchange you have to promise that you won't hurt any more of my friends!

015
Kogarashi: Kid, you do realize in this situation I'm the one calling the shots?
For one thing you can't threaten me when I've got nothing to lose.
(Sfx- Goooooo rmmmmmble)
Zen: Izzat so? How about in one go I rot the whole damn neighborhood,
leaving nothing behind?
(Sfx- Birii zzt)
Zen: I seem to recall someone saying they wanted to go back with their honey, no?
Kogarashi: Bastard, so you found her huh?
{An entire area?!}
{Zen-kun doesn't have that kind of power....}
Kogarashi: I get it, okay?
I swear to God I won't hurt anyone.
(Sfx- Paahh)

016
Ryousuke: Cough...
Cough..
Ryoko: Ryousuke!!
Kogarashi: Don't you move yet, missy.
(Sfx- Zuta tmpth)
Zen: Allrighty. Now what.
Kogarashi: I'm supposed to take you to the City in the sea of trees.
Zen: I go where you go.
I'm going out for a bit Ryoko.

Kogarashi: Thanks a lot...
Kid.

Ryosuke: Zen-bro....!

You're lucky I can't just kill you or you'd be dead, brat.
Parsley: You done?
Kogarashi: Yeah, I found the germ so let's get out of here.
Parsley: What about those kids? You're not going to kill them?
Kogarashi: I'd like to, trust me. But that one there is trouble.
If little missy there loses what's important to her she's bound to get even stronger.
I caught the whiff of one badass killing intent from her.
Even you'd have trouble if you were to fight her right now, honey.
I know,
How about we add an abduction to this order, hm?

018
Kogarashi: And with that, I bid you adieu, missy.
If you gotta hate someone, I'd say you should start with yourself.
It's fitting for someone who's naive enough...
to think that she can get by without killing people.
(Sfx- Basaaa fwap)
Kogarashi: Welp, if you'll excuse us~
Ryoko: ..I will..
I'll....
Definitely save you both!!!

How the hell have you managed a daily life here on one leg?
(Sfx- Suhhh sfft)
Kogarashi: Well? Weeeeelll?
(Sfx- Gusari gusari gusari chop chop chp)
Kazuo: Guuhhhh!!!
Ryousuke: Don't hurt my papa.....!
Kogarashi: Now now, I'll kill you in a minute so just wait your turn.
{Dammit, I can't keep my consciousness for long...!!}
(Sfx- Haaaaah Haaaaah)

010
Kazuo: Hah...hah...why do you want the Germ...
Kogarashi: Hmph,
Orders from my white superiors.
{I have to...}
Kogarashi: They say they wanna eradicate humanity.
Which is bad news for you.
{Move...!}
Kogarashi: Gimmie a break here....not you too missy---
(Sfx- ugeeh ugh)

011
(Sfx- Gootsuhhh thoooom)
Kazuo: Ryoko....
Ryoko: How dare....
How dare you...
{Huh?}
Ryoko: hurt my family!!!
Kogarashi: Gugh
(Sfx- Goshaaah thooom)

012
Kogarashii: Cough...
Cough..
(Sfx- Goto thunk)
{Ah, crap. The muscles in my arms ripped.}
(Sfx- daran droop)
(Sfx- Gagaaah thoooom)
(Sfx- Gakooh tok)
(Sfx- Shakaka shiiing)

013
{What the...}
{What kind of ridiculous strength is this?}
(Sfx- Kooon thok)
{Just what the hell is she?!}
Ryoko: Do you think I'll let you get away with this?!
(Sfx- Gakokokonn kerkraaaash)
{I'll be in trouble if I take that head on.}
(Sfx- Buuunn wift)

014
{If I don't dodge....}
(Sfx- Jajajajajaj dssssssh)
(Sfx- Gyagyagyayga shhhhhhhhhsssssssh)

015
Kogarashi: Holy crap that's huge.
{Now I get it.}
{It's because this little girl...}
{Is incredible isn't it?}
(Sfx- Shuuuhhh wfhooooh)
(Sfx- Fuuh fuuh)
Kogarashi: Didn't think I'd get hit in the face with a microwave today.
{He's still...}

016
(Sfx- gararaa clatter)
Kogarashi: Shot in the dark here, but I heard...
That this area up until a little while ago was under the control...
of a foodstuff known as the Black Haired beef.
Was it you who defeated the beef....
and the abalone I was keeping as a pet?
(Sfx- Gooooooooooh whooooom)
Ryoko: No...
It was all of us.

017
Kogarashi: Heheh...
Hahahahahahah!!!
(Sfx- Mukuuhhh dfft)
Kogarashi: I see....never thought it'd be a little girl behind it...
{He can still stand with those injuries?}
Kogarashi: Honestly you're FAR more interesting than the germ.
(Sfx- Daraaan drooop)
Kogarashi: So you're playing house with your family and friends huh?
The way I see it, you've got far too many things to protect.

018
Kogarashi: You listenin' over there honey?
Parsley: Darlin' I can't say I endorse this course of action.
Kogarashi: Don't care.
I want to take a bite out of her.
(Sfx- Gyuuhh grnd)
Ryoko: There's nothing for...
you here.

VOL 26: THE INCOMNIG OF DARK
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- The mysterious man in a suit's past opens with a trivial look into his life....however the “end” is fast approaching...)
(Sfx- Gatan goton gatan goton clang clang clang)
Guy: Say...don't you think something's kind of off about this rail car?
Dude: Yeah, something smells weird.
Lady: What could it be? A gas leak?
Or is it that someone threw up?
Dude: Ugh, give me a break here...

003
Guy: Hnn, my head feels kinda fuzzy too...
ngh?
(Sfx- Biki biki Crackle crackle)
People: GYAAAAAAH!!!
(Sfx- Buchi buchii blooorsh)
People: Guuruh...
Gaaaahhhh.
(Sfx- Gucha gucha peki peki munch, munch)
(Sfx- Gyorohh whifft)

004
Dude: Uuuhhhh
Heh..heheheheh....
Ge—gogoho....
A killing massacre between human beings...
ORRGH...
(Sfx- Battatatata blooorsh)
???: Oh? Are you still alive?

005
Parsley: Unbelievable! How could you have survived?
Dude: Did...did you do all of this?
Parsley: …...
Sure did.
Dude: Heheheh....Hey can I ask you a favor then?
Could I....
Do it all again?

006
(Sfx- Gatan gotoooon gatan gotoooon cling clang cling clang.)
Dude: Cling clang...
Cling clannng.~
Parsley: What are you doing?
Dude: Just feelin' nostalgic for old times, honey.
Parsley: I found a place that's pretty likely to be what you're looking for.
And that completes the work you hoisted on me, right?
Dude: Yup, that's right.
Parsley, you really are the best.

007
Parsley: What's with you only saying that now? You should know that I'm always the best.
On that note, how's your arm?
Dude: It's perfect.
(Sfx- basaaah fwap)
Dude: Now then, shall we make a house call?
Parsley: Do all of you humans do this sort of thing?

008
Ryoko: Oh C'mooon!
Did Zen-kun run out and leave a mess behind again?!
There's a half eaten Cherry fruit here too...!
(Sfx- Gochaa)
Dad: Ah, about that...
The thing is, I made a new tool for Zen and gave it to him....
Zen: Yaay! I'm headed out!
(Sfx- Zuuunnn dooom)
Ryoko: If you were going to do that much you should have told him to clean up first!!
Dad: S—Sorry.
Ryoko: Fine, I suppose this time I can tidy up....
(Sfx- Gararara clatter)
(Sfx- Mechaa)
Rere: Ah, whoops.

009
Ryoko: What are you doing Rere-san?!
(Handwritten- Just looking all casual in there!)
(Handwritten- Busted....)
Rere: Nahahah...Sorry, sorry!
Ryoko: I wonder if you'll ever become a good bride if I don't scold you more....
Rere: Don't go actin' like I don't get a say in the matter.
Ryoko: Ugh...I guess I'll go ahead and make lunch a little early.
(Sfx- Pinpoooon dingdoooong)
Dad: Hm?
Ryoko: What's that?
Rere: It's probably whitey.
Ryoko: Oh right!
(Sfx- Tatataa tmptmp)
Ryoko: Coming~
You shouldn't randomly play around with the doorbell Zen-ku
(Handwritten- C'mon...)
(Sfx- Garararara clatter)

010
Ryoko: n...
Dude: A pleasure to meet you Tenba-san.
Are you home alone? Or are Mama and Papa home?
{I should be happy...}
{That we were able to meet more survivors here, yet...}
{I feel like I'm frozen in ice.}

011
Dude: But man this is a surprise! I didn't think I'd find people living out here.
{There's no intonation in his voice and he seems completely disinterested.}
{He just continues with the smooth talking...}
Dude: Moreover for such a young looking girl to be alive here...
without yielding or wandering lost is really moving.
{Yes...it's all off-putting...to an unnatural degree.}
Dude: I'm sure you've seen some...
dreadful things too right, missy?
{I might have...}
{Opened the door to someone who should never...}
{Be let into our house.}

012
Dude: But man, this house has really been taken care of huh? It's pretty in here!
(Sfx- Suutsuhh step)
Ryoko: W—wait!
Rere: What's up Ryoko?
Wh—who are you?!
Dude: Oh? So Dad is home! That's good.
(Handwritten- Don't ignore me!)
Rere: I'm asking who the hell are you!?
(Sfx- Zuuiii sffft)
Dude: My name is Kogarashi. Pleased to meet you.

013
Kogarashi: But man...
It's hard to believe that there are civilians still eking out a life here.
Rere: What are you blabbering on about after forcing your way in--
Dad: I'm the head of this family Kazuo Tenba.
It's strange to think that you'd just pop in on us to visit,
So do you have some business with us?
Kogarashi: Haha, aren't we on guard today.
Though on the flip side, that saves me the troublesome small talk.
See I'm looking for something....
Or, no, someONE.

014
Kogarashi: Do you know about....
the Germ?
(Sfx- Giiii grinnnd)
{Germ?! Then does he know about Zen-kun too?!}
Kogarashi: Hm? That's a strange expression you've got there...
I do wonder what it's in response to?
{I heard that very same term when I was fighting the white rice....they're looking for that person too.}
{What does it all mean? Why does he know them too?}
{Wait, no way...could he be in league with the white rice?}
{If that's the case then...}

015
{Assuming that this man who knows the Germ...}
{Is connected with the white rice, then...}
{Right now The house, my family, my friends and I...}
{Everything I hold dear is being held captive.}
{It's dangerous to make any weird moves to get him out of the house....}
{But before Zen-kun comes back, I have to do something to get this man far away from our house..!}
{Right...what am I going to do about Dad?!}
Kazuo: The Germ is it?

016
Kazuo: I've seen many people come and go, but unfortunately...
I don't know and haven't met anyone with that name.
(Handwritten- Just what the heck is a germ anyway?)
{I thought so, Dad is trying to protect Zen-kun.}
Kogarashi: Well, it's not like I've ever seen this person for myself....
So I suppose you're probably not lying.
(Sfx- Gataa clatter)
Kogarashi: Welp, if the Germ isn't here, then you'll have to pardon me.
Ah, and by the way...
I really am moved by you people living out a normal life in a world like this.
Because if it were so ordered....
Your cozy little life would come to an end with a murder spree.

017
Kogarashi: I hope that you can keep living here quietly without being eaten.
See ya.
{He sure gave up quickly...}
{But at least it's ove--}
Kogarashi: Oh?
That half eaten cherry fruit over there is rotting.
Just that one.
That corrosion is far too fast.
(Sfx- Zokuhhh whooom)

018
ogarashi: This really is a crying shame.
I was hoping to come in and show my smart...
and awesome side...
But now the facade has fallen apart.
(Sfx- Shuuuuhhhhh fwhoooom)
Dad: Where'd that smoke suddenly come from?!
Ryoko: Dad, get back as far into the house as you can!!
Kogarashi: Ahh~
Now I gotta kill you.
(Bottom text- The house has become a battlefield...!! Next issue will be shocking so don't miss it!!)

Little bit later this week but still really good. RYOKO's slowed down a bit but I like all of this character development done right.

RYOKO
(Side text- The Japanese Sword wielding girl vs monster ingredients battle action manga!! The hotly anticipated 2nd and 3rd volumes will hit on February 18th!!)
VOL 25: EARLY SUMMER (2)
KAITO MITSUHASHI
(Side text-A harmonious summer with family!)

002
(Side text- Before the White rice is the mystery man who tore off his own arm! This man owned the giant abalone, but what is his deal, really?!)
Dude: Giving this to you will make us square then?
Rice: Are you sane?
Dude: Of course I am. I just need your answer before I faint of blood loss.
Rice: …fine.
(Sfx- Potaaah driiiip)
Rice: Prove your loyalty to us by dealing with your failure.
Should you betray us...

003
Rice: A myriad of rice will hand down it's judgment.
Don't forget this.
(Sfx- Fuwaaah float)
Parsley: That white bean finally left huh...
Dude: Oh? Interesting you'd say that about our superiors, Parsley.
Parsley: You'd have done better to eat that single grain of rice rather than giving him a hand...or arm.
(Sfx- Suuuhh wffffft)
Parsley: Heheheh, If I did that i'd pay the price back by a thousand fold.
(Sfx- Bushuuhh bloorsh)
(Sfx- Guchi clmpth)
Dude: It's not like I mind really.

004
Dude: If it's just one extremity to settle this.
Cause my body is meant to be used and tossed after all.
???: Awwright!
(Sfx- Zushhiriii)

005
(Sfx- dooon thom)
Zen: Snack time!!
Move it, move it,
The Lord sweet cherry is comin' through!
(Sfx- Gorogoro rooolll)
Rere: Yoooo whitey.
Zen: Oops.
(Sfx- Baaaann thooom)
(Sfx- Bikuu poit)
Rere: If you touch the cherry then it's going to rot isn't it?!
Zen: Ah so you remembered~~
Rere: You're doing this crap on purpose ain'tcha?!
(Handwritten- Your entire body is poison, dammit!)
???: Now, now Rere-san.
We don't know when Zen-kun's abilities might come in useful....
So treating him like some kind of germ is a little mean, no?

006
Dad: So why don't we just keep an eye on him for a bit instead?
(Sfx- Hahahah)
Rere: Hmm...
It's one thing to say something like that but...
That doesn't mean we gotta tolerate his foolishness.
(Sfx- Bori bori chew chew)
Zen: Delish!
Ryousuke: Yeah~
Rere: QUIT EATING THAT WITH YOUR HANDS!!
(Sfx- Gataaah clatter)
(Sfx- Bikuri poit)
Zen: Gyaaaah!!
Ryoko: Wh—what's going on?
Rere: Ryoko, If we leave this guy alone all of our food'll go bad!
Ryoko: But it's not like he's had any effect on the food we have here now...
(Sfx- anguri mouth open)
Rere: What's with the people in this house?! You're all naive as hell!

007
Rere: Nana, you really were a good girl who put up with so much, huh...
(Sfx- Fuuuuu wfffft)
Ryoko: I—I'll go clean the baths.
(Sfx- Gararara clattter)
(Sfx- Gyuuuuuuu squeeeze)
{Ever since Rere-san came the house has become much more lively.}
{Just a little while before I wouldn't have imagined having this many laughing voices here.}}
{How many years has it been since our home has had more people than chairs to sit in?}
{Our days are so lively...}
(Sfx- Pitaaah tapp)

008
Ryoko: But to me it feels like more than I deserve...
{I wonder if all of this happiness that I have now...}
{Will end up overflowing someday?}
Rere: What are you lacking?
(Sfx- Bikuuh poooit)
Ryoko: Apah!
Rere-san you scared me....
Rere: What's scary is you standing in front of the bath pail and saying stuff like that.
In any case it's about time we got to hunting, yeah?
Let's get goin.

009
Ryoko: Y—yeah. Hm?
Where's Zen-kun?
Rere: Hm?
Oh he's uh....
Healthy.
(Sfx- Puii wifft)
(Sfx- Chuuuun dinnng)
Ryoko: Rere-san...
Rere: Don't sweat it! Let's just head out and have a girls only hunting tour!
(Sfx- Hahahahah)
{Of course I know nothing is forever.}
Rere: So what are we hunting today?
{So as long as I can...}
Ryoko: Hmmm...
{As long as possible...}
Ryoko: How about Okra?

010
{I will hunt.}
(Sfx- Katsuhhnn)
Rere: But geez, This place here looks pretty jacked up.
It's like since that moment on that day...
Time's completely stood still.

011
Rere: I know I ain't got the right to talk, but hasn't living here this whole time been tough on you?
Ryoko: Yeah, but I've gotten used to it.
Rere: Hmmm....
Is that so?
Ryoko: Even after everything happened I still had my friends, neighbors and mother here too.
It's through everyone working together that we were able to keep living.
{I see. So it's not like she lost everything at once...}
Ryoko: I would have loved for you to meet everyone too.
{It's more like as the days marched on she lost more and more of her daily life.}
{I wonder how that must have felt...}

012
Ryoko: There's some Okra!!
Rere: Hm? Where?
I don't see it anywhere?
Ryoko: Look up this way.
Rere: Whoa, that okra is huge!!
Just what part of this thing is the okra anyway....?
Ryoko: We have to climb to the top and get the fruit.
Rere: Hm...
Awwright, I'm up today then.
Ryoko: Huh?!

013
Ryoko: It's really dangerous since it's so far up, though! Don't worry, I'll handle this!
Rere: Dude, it's not that different from the abalone so let go.
(Sfx- gashhihhh grab)
Ryoko: No! I don't want you to be hurt!!
Rere: And why the hell are you worried about me?!
(Sfx- Guguguguggu grinnnnd)
Ryoko: Because to me...
These days of living with everyone is like a brilliant light...
A treasure I don't want to let go of!
And I want to keep treasuring all of you!
That's why I'll do it! You just stay there!
Rere: Dammit….Is this what you meant about something being a waste?

014
Rere: You damn brat!!
(Sfx- Gagagagagagaga blamblamblam)
Okra: Kuraaaaaaaah!!!
Ryoko: R-Rere-san?!
(Sfx- Biiihh fwwwee)
(Sfx- Zugagagaag tamtmp)
Rere: Guh!
Ryoko: Get down!! I'll climb the okra!!
(Sfx- Zutahhh tmptp)

015
Ryoko: Your attacks won't have any effect from below!! It's dangerous so you have to...
Rere: Shut up!!
(Sfx- Dododododo Thmthtmthm)
Rere: Listen up sailor outfit, yeah you're hella strong, I admit it!
(Sfx- Goooooh whoooom)
Rere: But there's no such thing as these days you think you can protect by embracing them...
by yourself!!
(Sfx- Gagagagagagaga thothothoththom)

016
(Sfx- Goshaaaaaah Thooom)
Rere: And now I've gotten to the head, yeah?
Ryoko, listen up.
Don't try to shoulder things on your own like I used to.
(Sfx- Shuuuuuhhhh)
Rere: Even though I'm not as strong as you are...
I have enough strength to at least watch your back!
(Sfx- Doooooooooo)

017
Rere: So rely on your big sis a little,
all right?
Ryoko: ….Okay.
Rere: Now finish it off, please~
Ryoko: Okay!
Rere: By the way, how old were you when Japan got destroyed?
Ryoko: 11 years old.
Rere: Ahh so you're an elementary school dropout huh?
Ryoko: Hey!
Both: We're back~
(Sfx- Doroooooo)

018
Dad: Welcome back! What happened to you...!? Look at those injuries...
Rere: Ahahah...well y'see...
Ryoko: I'll go get the first-aid kit right away!
Zen: Was the okra really that strong?
(Handwritten- When I should have been there...)
Rere: Naah, you've got it all wrong.
Just teaching someone that you don't need to fight alone.
Right?
{I don't have an older sister.}
{But that day in the house...}
(Sfx- Bori bori chew chew)
Zen: I see...
{It really did feel like I had an older sister.}
Zen: I feel like I'm tasting lead in this okra...
Rere: AND I TOLD YOU TO STOP EATING WITH YOUR HANDS!!
(Side text- It's a rough world out there, but you're not alone – “Family” is there with you. Have some okra and let the summer times roll!)

RYOKO
MITSUHASHI KAITO
Vol 24: EARLY SUMMER 1
(Middling text- Ryoko has –gotten—a sister.)

002
(Side text- From this issue on a new chapter starts!! With the giant abalone defeated (eaten) Ryoko’s daily life undergoes big changes…)
{With the rainy season done, days like today where the heat is oppressive only grow in number..}
{After the abalone incident, this city has gained a new resident.}
Ryoko: Whew…
(Sfx- Gatahh *clatter*)
Ryoko: Ah!
G’morning Rere-san~!
{She’s using the home where master used to live before.}

003
(Sfx- Giiiii *Grinnnd*)
(Sfx- Baaann *slam*)
Rere: Hooooot!!
That empty house has horrible ventilation!!
It’s like your master or whatever sealed off the house so not even a single ant could get in!
The heck is wrong with you offering me a prison to live in?!
Ryoko: I’m sorry…it’s just you said you wanted somewhere quiet, so…
Rere: Ahhhhh, I’m so sleepy but I wasn’t able to get a wink last night because I was in a friggin’ oven!
(Sfx- Ngaaaah)
Ryoko: Um….if you want we could try Zen-kun’s place –it’s iron but it might be more refreshing…
Rere: SOLD! Lead the way!

004
Ryoko: It’s in here!
(Sfx- Dooonn *bamm*)
Rere: You sure he didn’t die in there?
(Sfx- Uwahhh)
Rere: Hey whitey! You alive in there? Wakey-wakey!
(Sfx- Juuuhhh *sssizzle*)
Rere: HOOOOOOTTT!
Ryoko: Rere-san!
Oh no! Poor Zen—kun..!!
Rere: Forget him Ryoko! He’s probably fried to a crisp by now!!

005
Zen: Whoa….I had a dream where I was drowning…
{He’s wearing a double layered school uniform…!!}
(Sfx- Baah *fwap*)
Rere: Strip, and do it fast!!
Ryoko: Re—Rere-san, you’re too bold!
Dad: Hey everyone it’s about time for breakfast---
Rere: Ah! Pops!

006
Dad: W—Well I suppose everyone is at that age….yup.
Rere: Wait! Hear me out!
Dad: It’s fine, Ryousuke is still sleeping.
Rere: Daaaaaad!!
It’s not like that!
Geez…
I thought I’d be able to relax after coming to this city but after only a few days I’m totally sick of it!
I wanna go back home! Though the food is awesome –let me get seconds!
Ryoko: You’re spilling it Rere-san~
Zen: Say Pops? Do we have anything other than abalone? I’m sick of it.
(Handwritten- Sorry about that!)
Dad: Haha it was a huge catch, after all.

007
Dad: I see, so it was the abalone that was controlling Dish city huh?
Zen: Yup, that’s probably it.
Ryoko: Unfortunately we weren’t able to find any leads on mom this time around…
Zen: Then let’s go to the next city and look, and then the one after that too!
We’ll walk the entire country if we have to!
Ryoko: ‘Kay!
(Sfx- Fuki fuki *wipe wipe*)
{……Hm?}

008
Ryoko: I feel super hyped up for some reason~!
{Wait, you’re hyped up now?}
Ryoko: Awwright everyone, let’s get prepared to hunt down some early summer fruits!
Zen: I’m already A-OK!
Rere: Same here.
Ryoko: Well then…
Let’s hunt down some sweet cherry fruit!!

009
Zen: Yo, is the sweet cherry fruit strong?
Ryoko: It’s not nearly as tough as the abalone, but you should still be careful!
{Hmm…it wasn’t too long ago that I had my hands full with my own problems, so in regards to Ryoko all I could think of was ‘This girl actually fights monsters wearing a schoolgirl outfit’, but…}
{I feel like she’s got another major weakness…}
Zen: Man these weeds are huge too.
Ryoko: Why are you eating them?!
Zen: And what’s this thing?
Ryoko: A sweet cherry fruit seed!
{Meh, it’s whatever. I’m thinking about this too much.}
{But still…}

010
(Sfx- Gokaaah *thooom*)
Zen: What’s that?!
Rere: That was close?!
Is this the sweet cherry fruit?!
Fruit: RICHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Zen: Doesn’t look very delicious….especially that head.
Ryoko: We’re only eating the legs that are the fruit, okay?

011
Ryoko: Rere-san, do you think you could intercept the fruit for a bit?
Rere: No biggie.
Ryoko: Zen-kun you just stay right there!
Zen: Huh?
(Sfx- Kan *hop*)
(Sfx- Gagagagaga *thoomthoomthoom*)
Fruit: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH
Rere: Wha, Was it aiming for a draw this whole time?

012
Rere: Whitey?!
Ryoko: You’ve got to dodge that! The tail is laced with poison!
(Sfx- Juuwaah *wfffft*)
Zen: Uuugh!
Rere: Wha…what the hell was that?
Zen: Ah, whoops.
Sorry Ryoko, the fruit part is beginning to rot away!!

013
Ryoko: I’ll handle it.
(Sfx- Borororororo *roooolll*)
(Sfx- Zupapapapapa *slish, slish slish*)
(Sfx- Botooh *tok*)
Ryoko: Phew! Made it just in time.
Zen: Sweet! You’re awesome Ryoko!

014
Rere: Wait, he rots ingredients that he touches/!
Ryoko: I wanted to wait for a time where we could sit down and talk about it properly…
Rere: Geez…
Zen: But it seemed hard to believe so we decided against it. But it’s true!
Rere: I believe you. I mean I thought it was the case back with the abalone, and this just confirms it.
Ryoko: Rere-san!
Zen: Whoa, that was surprisingly easy.
But frreal, thanks for that Ryoko! I thought the sweet cherry fruit was gonna rot away for sure!
(Sfx- Peta peta *pat pat*)
Ryoko: Ah…yeah, you’re welcome.
{Ah….this is gonna be an issue.}

015
Both: We’re baaaaack!!
Dad: Welcome back~ Oh that looks delicious. Are you hurt?
Zen: Nope!
Rere: Yo, Dad, c’mere for a sec.
Dad: Hm?
Rere: Over here.
Dad: Huh? What’s going on?
(Sfx- Jiii *staaare*)
Rere: Um…
Your daughter is…well, she’s really…simplistic, no?

016
Dad: Ah Rere-san…
So you’ve noticed it too huh?
{Thus the people concerned for Ryoko’s future…}
{Grew by one.}
Rere: Haha…..

017
Dude: The abalone I was keeping…
Up and died.
Rice: This failure is a major one, human. You’ve betrayed our expectations.
We cannot avoid reporting this to main force.

Nearly two years later, RYOKO is back in the kitchen and I couldn't be happier. Honestly I'm not sure if the group who was once working on this is still around, but I intend to keep translating this as long as the series runs (which I hope will be a long time after this.) Welcome back Mitsuhashi!

Volume 23: BREAK THE SHELL
(Side text- The serialization reopens!!)
(Yellow and white text- You can read from the beginning (22 chapters!) For a limited time for absolutely free on the Sunday webry site!!)
(Bottom text- The enemy is food!! The last battle action manga!!!)
(Circle- Volume 2 and 3 of the manga will both be released February 18th!!)
RYOKO
KAITO MITSUHASHI

002
(Side text- Riding on Zen and Rere's emotions, Ryoko leaps!! Hunt down the megasized avalone that subjugates the city...!!)
Rere: Goooo!!!
Ryoko!!
You're right above...
The abalone's heart!!

003
(Sfx- Goooohhh fwhoooom)
{I can't let the opening Rere-san made for me...}
{Go to waste!!}
{This time I'll use every ounce of strength that I have...}

004
{To pierce it!!!}
(Sfx- Dohhh whooom)
Avalone: OOOOOOOHHHHRRRRRR!!
(Sfx-Gogogogogo rmmmmmble)
{It's still too shallow?! But...}

005
(Sfx- Pikipiki crackcrack)
Ryoko: I can still go further!!!
(Sfx- Gugugugu grinnnnd)
(Sfx- Buuunn voooom)
Avalone: Abaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
(Sfx- Guaaaaah roaaaaaar)

006
Ryoko: Did I get it!?
Hurry before the abalone comes falling!!
Rere: Y—yeah!
(Sfx- Pitaah pppth)

007
(Sfx- Gopaaaah blooorsh)
Zen: Whoa! What's that?!
Ryoko: It's spitting up everything it absorbed as it's life ends, huh...
Rere: Heh...you gotta be kidding me...

008
Rere: A crapton of pearls are...
falling from the sky...

009
Rere: We've got pearls....
But they ain't useful for anything...it's a crying shame.
But y'know my little sister wanted an earring like this.
It's a bit simplistic, but I can make at least a little pearl for her.
{I've been living by myself since four years ago where the ingredients became monsters.}

010
{The reality I wasn't willing to accept...}
{Remained unchanging no matter how many times I closed my eyes and averted them from the truth.}
{I was able to keep on living in this ruined world on the festering anger and sadness within me.}
{But really, why did I keep living up until now?}
Rere: Nana...is that you?
Of course not.
Y'know I felt like Nana was still around somewhere all of this time...

011
Rere: In my heart I kept living in a dream that I didn't want to wake up from.
Believing that if I died here that just maybe Nana would come back to life...
But this is reality right here, right now it seems.
Ryoko: Rere-san...
Rere: Maybe up until today I shut myself in my world because there was nothing else I could do..
But now that world of hatred and resentment that I stubbornly held onto...
Has been completely blown apart.

013
Rere: And at long last maybe I can confront the reality that...
My little sister Nana is no longer with me.
Ughh....
Ryoko: All right then...

014
Ryoko: Let's have a shell party everyone!
(Sfx- Oooooh!)
Ryoko: I'll go gather the abalone!!
Zen: Me too!!
(Sfx- Tatatatatatata tmptmptmtmp)
Ryoko: Awesome! The underside is so soft!!
Zen: Oh? Then it'll be tasty right?
Then I'll just gather me up some scallop.
Rere: Heh, you guys really are some weirdos....
Wh-ah!

015
Rere: Geez, look at this!
Pearls have fallen on my house too!
Oh good, Nana's grave is fine...
Zen: We can have a shell party under the blue skies!!
Rere: Aw, to hell with it. C'mon and help me move this table outside!
(Sfx- Gata gata clatter)
Zen: 'Kay.

016
Ryoko: And done! We've got a heaping assortment of shell dishes!
(Sfx- Dochaa)
Rere: These ingredients are huge. I'm surprised you were able to make somethin' out of 'em.
Ryoko: It's all thanks to your help, Rere-san!
Zen: Awwright, let's hurry up and dig in!
Ryoko: You're right! Well then..
Everyone: Thanks for the meal!

017
(Handwritten- So tasty...!!)
Ryoko: O—oh...So this is the texture of abalone....
Rere: I see...maybe it was too soon for a kid like you to eat this?
(Sfx- Kukukukuu heheheheheee)
Ryoko: I—I'll get used to it eventually!!
Rere: Yeah, you'll have all sorts of experiences from here on won'tcha?
Like “learning about makeup” and such.
(Sfx- Peshih jab)
(Sfx- Hah gasp)
(Sfx- Zuuuun dooooom)
Rere: Ah it's totes fine if you don't know about that stuff right now.

018
(Sfx- Soku soku)
Rere: By the way...
There is a thing I wanted to talk to ya'll about.
Ryoko: And what's that?
Rere: I just decided it a moment ago...
That Imma come live in your city.

019
Ryoko: Yay! I've always wanted an older sister!!
(Sfx- Paaaaaah)
Zen: Now we don't have to worry about running around to hunt with you around to shoot things!
Rere: Uh what kind of messed up expectations do you two have?
(Sfx- Korakora Hey now..)
Rere: Listen it's just as simple as my house losing it's roof and me having no choice but to move, understand?
Ryoko: That's totally fine! By all means please come to stay with us, big sis!
Rere: B—Big sis?!
Ryoko: Yes, big sis!!
(Sfx- Washh buwaah)
Rere: W—well I guess.
Ryoko: Yay!

020
Rere: Nana...
I'll be back sometime.
Well then, let's head back.
Rere: Ah, c'mon man. It'd be faster to walk than to ride a bike with your slow ass!
Ryoko: Wanna switch, Zen-kun?
Zen: Nah, leave it to me.
Oh whoa...
Rere: Eyes up front, dammit!
(Side text- For her sister's sake she'll live and eat. Ryoko's anticipated older sister(?) joins the group and next issue new developments!!)

2018-01-22T21:22:01+00:00

And here we are almost but not quite a year later with Ryoko's presumably final chapter. I had thought that it would be a temporary hiatus which is why I dragged my feet on TLing it (that and there wasn't a group working on the series so there was no hurry) but the hiatus still rages on and someone did pick up the series so here we are. It pains me to say goodbye (for now) to RYOKO but Mitsuhashi's health comes first and foremost. I know you probably aren't reading this, sensei, but still know I hope you return as soon as you're able.

Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

{The avalone flat out attacked us today...}
{They probably figured that this opponent...}
{Is a major threat.}

{My world hasn't changed for many years....}
{Yet it was all broken by her –all it took was one little kid.}

I'll hunt it down for sure!

Hey! Why not fight with us one more time!
Rere: Count me out.
No matter how much you challenge the abalone it’s useless. …but you all can do whatever you want.

While I may like Sorachi's writing more than Mitsuhashi's at this point, Mitsuhashi is a kinder master --after giving me a hard chapter in #19, he provided a merciful chapter in #20. I feel like a mutiny against a gorilla might be in the cards if he keeps this up.

Ryoko: Would you like some clam soup Rere-san?
Zen: The broiled asparagus is pretty good too.
(TN- “Clam soup” and “Asparagus” are bolded.)
Rere: Why….
Are you still in this city?
Zen: Cause we haven’t returned these yet.
Here, you can take ‘em back. Sorry about that.
Rere: Ohhh? Aren’t we generous?
(Handwritten- More like, where is this coming from?)

Even if you do your damned hardest in this world, not a thing changes!
There are things that you can’t do anything about!
What’s impossible remains impossible!
There will be times where the only choice you have is to give up!
No matter how strong you might be, there’s a hell you know nothing about that I have seen!
Your flimsy resolution makes my ears bleed, so don’t you dare…

I said you don’t need to go out of your way to wake me up early…

Let’s eat it together!
Oh right, neechan! You haven’t done the welfare inspection yet have you?
Rere: Ah..
Nah, but we don’t even need that.
Nana: Eeeeeh? Why? They’ve even turned off the water here y’know!
Rere: Then I’ll just have to work harder.
Nana: And there you go again.
You always try to shoulder eeeverything on your own.
(Handwritten- You’re quite the handful, sister.)
Rere: C’mon Nana…

Rere: What’s so great about living in the lap of luxury?
Nana: Aww why are we having this conversation about things that happen only in dreams?
Umm…well there’s clothes, uh..earrings, and then…then…
Ah! Then there’s high class foods like abalone…I’d love to eat it together with you~
Rere: Okay, gotcha.
Clothes and earrings and abalone….I’ll remember that.
Welp, I’m off.

{This huge incident was in all the papers in the blink of an eye. Since they weren’t able to determine the reason for the explosion…}
{They had to end the investigation prematurely due to the list showing what exactly I was transporting wasn’t found in my workplace.}
{Since I was the only one who actually had any contact with the load, and then was the one who brought it to the scene of the incident, I was naturally the suspect.}
{In recent years it was unusual for a single person to plan out and execute an indiscriminate mass murder,}
{So my death sentence was decided upon with unprecedented speed.}
{Even though I bitterly complained, nothing worked and I was unable to protect Nana.}

{Even though we were so far apart, I repeatedly wrote Nana letters.}

(Sfx- Gan gan gan *thoom thoom*)

010
Rere: Dammitall…
Something’s…coming?
(Sfx- Zoooooo *fwhooooom*)
(Sfx- Gobaaaanannn *craassssh*)
Rere: Kyaaaah!!!
Thing: Nebaaaaaaaaaah

011
{Wh…}
{The hell is that?!}
{What the hell is that monster?!}
(Sfx- Gogoooonn *booooom*)
Rere: Aah…
Hah…hah..

012
(Sfx- Gooooooooh *fwhooooom*)
Rere: What the---Nana…where’s Nana!!
(Sfx- Datsh *dash*)
{I ran.}
{Impossible to believe scenery, a cruel scene, cries for salvation..}
{I shook all of them off and started running.}
{For that day and the next day I ran out of hell.}
{Seeking that far away house.}

013
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
Rere: Nana…
Nana…Nana…
Where are you Nana?
(Sfx- giiitshhh )
Rere: Nana!!

014

015
{Shutting herself in her room and not eating…}
{Nana had died as if she were sleeping.}
{She had become the disheartened little sister of a death row inmate –my only family left in..}
{This world at its end with monstrous food products roaming around…}
{The life I had pursued had already disappeared.}
Rere: What do I…
Vent to…
Where do I…
This anger what do I…
{And now I was the only one left.}
{Thus I had become the only one left in my world.}

016
(Sfx- Baaan *thoom*)
(Sfx- DOoooooohhhh)

017
{This anger of mine that had no refuge..}
{Continuously exhausts itself upon the abalone eating this city.}
{However my heart gradually began to erode…}
Rere: That’s dirty…
{And I too came to a decision.}

018
{I had already decided on how I’d die.}
Rere: Today’s the day it all ends.
???: Whoaa!
Ryoko: Zen-kun!
This is amazing, Zen-kun! Incredible even!
Rere: Humans? And asparagus?
Up we go…
The hell do they want on my death anniversary?
(Side text- Unable to protect her beloved little sister, Rere remains in the world. This is “Dish City” where everything is being crushed. Next issue, what will Ryoko do?!)

And the first Ryoko of hopefully a week full. Though I'm thinking by the end of the week I'll be caught up again...good thing this arc is getting pretty interesting.

Free for use with my permission.

Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

(Upper text- VS Abalone! To eat or be eaten?!....The end of the world battle action manga!!)

(Middling text- Currently exploring a broken world!//Let’s go and take it easy.)
RYOKO
Vol 18: FIRST CONTACT
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- The enterity of the city is being crushed by the giant moving abalone that Ryoko attacks!! Can she hunt it? Can it be eaten?!)
Rere: Sailor outfit, are you insane?!
(Sfx- Zuuuoooh *fwhooom*)
Ryoko: I’ll stop it.
{It’s true that it’s so huge that simply pushing it directly won’t stop it….}
{But a Katana should be able to puncture through the deep debris!}
(Sfx- Goohhh *fwooom*)

003
(Sfx- doshhh *thuuud*)
{Here!!}
{I’m in!}
{But..}
{I don’t feel any indication that it’s going to stop moving!}
(Sfx- Zuzuuun zuzuuuun *dssshhh*)

004
{It’s no good…I have to find a means to get closer to its vitals…!!}
(Sfx- Zuboohh *dttth*)
Ryoko: But where are the vitals on such a huge abalone…?
(Sfx- Bababaahh *fwssshhh*)
(Sfx- Ooooooohh *fwwooooom*)
{It figures it would be all of the shells that come flying!}
{Are they protecting the abalone?}

005
(Sfx- Gahh *fwappp*)
(Sfx- Goohhh *thooom*)
(Sfx- Dofuhhh *Thok*)

006
Shell: Paaaaaahhhhhh!!!
(Sfx- Zoroohhh *fwooom*)
{What kind of joke is this?!}
{A girl who looks far frailer than me is running around with a katana….}
{Just what kind of life did she live…}
{To casually jump in the fray with those monstrous ingredients?!}
(Sfx- kankankankan *clakclackclk*)

007
{It seems that’s the only place on the abalone that’s exposed…?}
Ryoko: If it’s there then I’ll cut it.
(Sfx- Bogooohh *thooom*)

008
Ryoko: It came from the ground?!
(Sfx- Gogogogo *rmmmmble*)
(Sfx- Zuzunnn *thooom*)
Ryoko: Wha…it’s a turban shell?
Shell: SAAAAAAAAH
(TN- “Turban shell” is bolded.)

009
(Sfx- Dan dann *thoooom*)
Shell: aaaaaaaaaaaaan
(Sfx- Dadaaannn *thooooom*)
Shell: Zaaaaaaaaaaaan
Ryoko: Ah…

010
Zen: Ryoko!!
{That was no coincidence…}
{Those shellfish…}
{Are protecting the abalone.}
(Sfx- Pushuuuh *fwhoooom*)
Zen: What is it this time?
Rere: The appointed three minutes have passed.
It’s gonna stop moving.

011
(Sfx- Doooooooooh)
Rere: It just barely stopped short…
Of reaching this house.
(Sfx- Kan *thk*)
{It stopped…? Though I wasn’t expecting to be attacked by something other than the Abalone..}
Zen: Hey Ryoko!! Are you okay?
(Sfx- Tataaah *tmptmp*)
Ryoko: Yeah, thanks.
I just let my guard down a little.
Rere: That’s why I told you it’s useless.
Other than when its active time is over, the abalone cannot be stopped.
You should get it now that your guts aren’t more than this monster.
Right?

012
Ryoko: I don’t understand.
No matter how absurd the world is…
I don’t want to see people…nor you give up and die so easily.
Rere: Hmph then close your eyes.
{Stop it.}
Ryoko: It’s not as simple as that Rere-san.
???: Eeeh? It’s no good if you just die.
If you were to die, neechan, I’d be so lonely as there’d be no one to eat with.
{I’ve already made my decision…don’t come out now…}

013
Ryoko: Next time I’ll stop it for sure.
{Stop it.}
{You’re pissing me off…}
{Why now of all times…}
{Why did someone just like her…}
{Have to show up now?}
Ryoko: Where are you going?
Rere: You can do what you want with the abalone and the house but…
Don’t follow me.
(Sfx- Zath zatsh *sfft sfft*)

014
Zen(?): And there she goes.
She’s a pretty complicated person…
Ryoko: There are countless leftovers…
There are countless bullet holes and spent ammunition all over this place with the abalone.
I’m thinking they’re most likely Rere-san’s…
She probably has fought the abalone countless times…
And has had to watch as it gets closer and closer flattening more and more of the city…
But why just the abalone?

015
Zen: Well, whatever! Let’s check the house out!
Ryoko: Th—That’s right! Maybe we can get some ingredients to make something with…
(Sfx- Gatchaa *clack*)
Ryoko: On a second look this place looks well used but still very pretty…
Zen: There’s a telephone pole jutting out of the floor though.
Lessee here if I can find anything decent in here…ah, it’s all bullets though.
(Sfx- Goso goso *sffttt*)
Zen: I know, since we’re already in here anyway, might as well investigate this house!
Ryoko: Someone lives here you know! That’s rude!

016
Zen: This is a washroom, huh..
Ryoko: Stop it!
Zen: And here’s a toilet?
Ryoko: C’mon, geez!
Zen: hm?
Why’s this place the only one that’s taped up?
Ryoko: Geeez, just stop it already…
(Sfx- Biriiihhh *reeeeeh*)
Ryoko: Wow…

017
Zen: Could this be Rere-san’s room?
It’s kinda…
Adorable.
(Sfx- Chiiiin)
Ryoko: This was Rere-san in the past, right? Who’s she with?
Nana?
(On board- I want to eat abalone! I wanna be stylish!// Truck terrorist is a 20 year old woman//Big sister is innocent.)
Zen: Ryoko! Take a look down here under the window!!
Ryoko: This is…

018
(Sfx- Byooooooh *fwhooooom*)
(Sfx- Zazazaahh *ssshffft*)
(Sfx- Oooooooooooooh)
Judge: And now the main clause…
Defendant Shinajina…
Shall be sentenced to death.

RYOKO
(Side text- Just who is this woman//…who wears handcuffs?)
(Side text- Volume one of the manga is now in stores!! Be sure to check out the twitter campaign!!)
Vol 17: EAR SHELL
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- A mysterious woman and a huge abalone!)
???: This is “Dish City”
Where that thing has crushed everything.
(Sfx- Zuuunn *doooom*)
Zen: Th—that mountain is abalone?!?
It’s huuuge!

003
Ryoko: That thing’s really an ingredient?
(Sfx- Uwaah!)
Zen: It’d be kind of hard to eat the road though…
???: It doesn’t move one bit, obviously.
It’s seriously a quiet behemoth that sits there unmoving.
{Abalone is a crispy large shell food item..}
{In the past it was valued as a high class meal.}
???: But now eating one is super tough….it’s like one of the world’s biggest ironies, no?
(Sfx- Haaah)
Zen: Oooh.
High class huh? Which means it’s gotta taste awesome.
C’mon Ryoko, let’s cook that abalone!
…uh, hello?
(Sfx- Shiiiiin)
Ryoko: Abalone, huh…

004
Zen: What’s wrong? Why do you seem so disinterested in it?!
Ryoko: Well, that’s…
???: Oh? Could it be you’ve never had abalone before?
(Sfx- Gikurii *poit*)
Ryoko: Ah! When did I ever say I’ve never eaten it before?!
(Upper text- That’s why you’re such a kid.)
???: Ohoooh?
You’ve never had it before and so you’re saying you’re not interested? You are such a kid.
Ryoko: What?!
A—a kid?
???: Well, whatever. You might be a kid…
But you beat me fair and square.
So what’ll it be? Taking all of my stuff or my life? Whichever it is, make it quick kay?

005
{Damn, to think that the end would come for me here of all places…}
{Will they shoot me down? Cut me down, or strangle me I wonder…?}
{Eh, not that it matters really. This world’s been kaput for a while now.}
{It seems I’m ready to come to where you are at last, Nana…}
???: Er…
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU’VE GOT A HOSTAGE?!
(Sfx- Deeeen)

006
Ryoko: You ask that but…isn’t it obvious this is a picnic?
???: Don’t answer me so casually!!
I’m asking because I want to know what’s going on in those heads of yours!!
Ryoko: Well I was just thinking…
That the three of us could have lunch.
???: Huh?
Ryoko: I sort of get it –bloodthirsty things like stealing and killing….
After all the world has become like this..
But if that’s all there was to it, wouldn’t that be kind of sad?

007
{Welcome back!}
{Come on in and have something to eat, sister.}
(Sfx- Gririii *grnnnd*)
{Stop it.}
{Dammit I’m begging you not to look at me like that.}
???: You there.
You keep that up and you won’t live very long…

008
???: And?
What’s the real reason behind you kids being here?
(Sfx- Pan pan)
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
Ryoko: She certainly can pack them away…
Um, well I…
(Sfx- Paku paku *chew chew*)
???: Yeah?
Ryoko: I’m looking for my mother who went missing three years ago.
???: Three years ago?
She’s probably not alive anymore.
You should just give up…
Ryoko: But the white rice I met said that she’s alive!
And I don’t think it’d lie!

009
???: Hmm, Rice huh?
And what about you, white hair?
Zen: Me?
Well I’m…
Ryoko: Zen-kun, it might be best if you don’t say too much about the germ thing..
It’s kind of hard to believe.
Zen: ‘Kay.
I’m looking for my friends and hope to find ‘em eventually!
It’s not like I’m hiding anything else!
Totally not!
???: I see.
Ryoko: And what about you? I think it’s about time you told us your name.
???: Maaan,
How many years has it been since I’ve had to introduce myself to someone else...
I’m Shinajina Rere.
Oh and right…
I’m a former prisoner.
(Sfx- Jarrahh *clatter*)

010
Zen: Seriously?!
Rere: That’s such a good expression. What, you scared?
Bet that’s gonna make it hard for you to trust me now huh?
Ryoko: How come you’ve been hanging around this town?
Rere: Huuuh? Isn’t it obvious? I’m waiting for something here…
And that’s my death.
Zen: Err, whut?
Rere: Right, thanks for the grub and all that.
The time’s about right now…
(Sfx- Nshoo *upsy daisy*)

011
Rere: Come with me, I’ll show you around…
“Dish City”.
(Sfx- Zatshhh *dsffft*)
Ryoko: Hold on a moment…
Rere: C’mon, we ain’t got time to dither around here.
Say…
Are you gonna return my piece anytime soon?
Zen: Oh..
Maybe when your killing intent toward us..
Has gone away sis.
{Ohh? I thought he was an idiot, but he’s oddly sharp…}
{It’ll be a little difficult to find openings in these two after all, huh?}

012
(Sfx Hyuuuhhh *fwhooooh*)
Rere: This is Tsubonaka street…
Which is right in front of where a library used to be.
Zen: Whoa, there’s nothing here…
Rere: You can’t see that I lost something here too though…
Welp, let’s get moving.
Zen: There are lots of places riddled with bulletholes here…
Rere: That’s probably where I did some shooting.
With my two guns.

013
Rere: And we’ve arrived…
At our final destination…!
My house!
Zen: Whoa! It’s so old and beat up! I love it!
Rere: C’mon, c’mon..
Come right on in.
Ryoko: Excuse the intrusion!
(Sfx- Batann *clamp*)

014
Zen: Sis, I think the heat you’re already packing is more than enough, yeah?
Rere: Damn, talk about being too sharp.
You should have two guns of the same model right?
But the holes we saw earlier in the city had a third bigger hole in ‘em.
So it’s obvious to think that you’d have another piece packed away, yeah?

015
(Sfx- Jakaah *clank*)
Rere: So what, you wanna go here and now?
Keep in mind I’ve got the home team advantage here.
I think it might be better if you kids skedaddle and never come back here.
Ryoko: What do you mean?
Rere: It’s about that time…
Ryoko: Wha?!
Zen: Ryoko, outside!!
(Sfx- Ooooooooooooh *roaaaaaaaaaar*)

Rere: That’s right, that’s Dish City’s affinity.
(Sfx- Zuzuuunn *ddooom*)
(Sfx- zuzuuuun *dooooom*)
(Sfx- Zuzzuunn *doooom*)
Ryoko: Wha…
Zen: The abalone is moving this way…???
(Sfx- Zuzuuunn *doooom*)
(Sfx- Kohh *tp*)
Rere: Soon that abalone will pass right through this house…
(TN- “abalone” is bolded.)

019
Rere: Do you get it?
There’s no one who can stop that thing.
This city is about to be annihilated.
I’m helpless…
There’s nothing I can do but to watch over this house as it’s crushed and die.
So knowing that you two kids should give up looking for treasure here….
And go ho—

020
(Sfx- Gaah *fwapp*)
Rere: Wha…
Sailor outfit, are you insane?!
Ryoko: I’ll stop it.

Zen: Let’s switch, I’m sure I’m heavy right?
Ryoko: You’re only going to make your injuries worse so just sit still.
Zen: That aside, this is some great weather.
Ryoko: Yeah, you can say that again.
Ah.
(Sfx- Kikoo kikooo kikooo)

{Yesterday…}
Dad: You want to take a day trip to investigate?
Ryoko: Yeah! Just to the neighboring city across the river.
Zen-kun will do his own investigating!
Zen: We’re shipping out, Daddy-o!
Dad: That’s too sudden! Moreover, what are you investigating..
Ryoko: Well you see…
Ever since I returned with Zen, there’s been something I’ve been hesitant to talk about…
Dad, you know what if…perchance…

005
Ryoko: What if mom is still alive?
Ryousuke: Huh? Mama?
Ryoko: The rice said it, “Child of that woman…someday I’ll kill you along with your parent.”…
If that’s true then mom should still be alive.
Dad: Mama is…
I see…yes…

006
Dad: I see…
{I had never seen my otherwise bustling Dad cry tears like tears like that before.}
{Through those silent tears he sent us out with a repeated “take care of yourselves”}
{And that morning we cheerfully set off.}
{And now we’re…}
(Sfx- Kiiii *grnnnd*)
Ryoko: We’ve arrived.
Zen: Oh!

007
Zen: Yo Ryoko, you sure you don’t have the wrong icty?
This place is in pieces!
Ryoko: Yeah, it must have been under a fierce attack..
(Sfx- Boroohhh)
Zen: Hmmm.
Lookit that, that building has a telephone pole stabbed right through it!!
Ryoko: Y—you’re right.
This must be the work of ingredients that were made larger than usual by the drug.
Zen: It’s pretty amazing…

008
Zen: And then take a gander of that thing in front of the bridge…looks like a mountain of trash.
But maan, there’s empty space as far as the eye can see but nothing else…
Hm?
Whoa, there’s something weird growing in this grass (grass is bolded).
Lessie.
(Sfx- Soooohhhh *fwhhh*)
(Sfx- Bogooohhh *whooom*)
Zen: Owahh!

009
Monster: PAAAAAAHHHH
Zen: Whoa, what the hell is that thing?
Ryoko: That’s…!
(Sfx-paaaah)
Ryoko: Asparagus!
I’ve never seen any in my town!
This is amazing, Zen-kun! Incredible even!
Zen: Yeah…I guess?
Ryoko: Okay, we’re adding this to tonight’s menu!
(Sfx- Chaa *clack*)

010
Zen: So you’re gonna hunt this fella? Let me help!
(Sfx- Bahh *fwap*)
Ryoko: You can’t, Zen-kun!
Zen: Eh? Why?
Ryoko: If you touch it it’ll rot, and we probably can’t eat it if it’s rotted…!
In any case the best thing you can do this time is wait there patiently!
Zen: Dangit…
(Sfx- Dododododoo *thomtmtmtm*)
Ryoko: Ah, wait!
Zen: Heeey! What about your bike?
(Sfx- Tatatatata *tmptmtmp*)
Ryoko: I’ll get it later!
Zen: No helpin’ it…

011
Asparagus: Paaaaaaaaaaaaah
(Sfx- Dododododododo *tmptmtpmtmp*)
Zen: Heeey!
Hold up!
(Sfx- shaka shaka shaka)
Zen: Man these mama chari’s are a lot of fun.
(TN- Mama charis are bikes with baskets in front of them often used by housewives to buy groceries –hence the name.)

Something’s flying around! Is it a butterfly?
Actually it’s sorta big…

You can thank me and raise your hands in the air.

Ryoko: Zen-kun!

Well, whatever. If you wanna keep your lives, drop everything you own…
And then get the hell out of this “Dish city.”
(TN- Dish City is bolded.)
???: Whoa.
What’s with this huge katana?
Were you using this old fashioned weapon to protect yourself or something?

018
Ryoko: Hands off of that.
???: It’s mine now.
Ryoko: It’s dangerous so please…
???: Hold on a damn minute.
Do you not understand your situation?
(Sfx- Gooooh *fwhoooom*)
???: Huh?
(Sfx- Zuuhhhh *Sffft*)

019
Zen: Another clam is falling this way!
???: Damn!
(Sfx- Dotsuhhh *Sffft*)
???: Sh—she’s so fast!
Wha…

020
(Sfx- Zuuuhhh *Sffft*)
{She was able to cover that distance in such a short amount of time…}
???: You’ve gotta be kidding me.
{And chop down that clam in one sweep…}
{It’s this girl who’s the real monster!!}
Ryoko: Drop your gun please.
???: Okay, okay you got me!
You win.
Considering how strong you are…
Maybe you can defeat that Abalone…
(TN- “Abalone” is bolded.)
Ryoko: Abalone?

021
Ryoko: Just where is it…
???: Back there…
Riiight behind me.
Ryoko: Eh? You’re kidding?!

That mountain is an abalone.

Where that thing has crushed everything.

004
Ryoko: Kyaaaah?!
(Sfx- Zurusuhhh *ssshhh*)
Ryoko: Hey! Don’t grab my clothes!
Zen: My bad.
Ryoko: Ugh, just stay there!
Zen: Gotcha~
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzuhh *dsssshhhh*)
{The yam makes it impossible to walk along the ground behind it…}
{But if that’s the case…}

005
{I’ll use the wall!}
(Sfx- Datsuhh *dash*)
Zen: Whooa!
(Sfx- Baaah *fwap*)

006
(Sfx- Kan *clang*)
Zen: Awesome!!
{If it’s in mid air then…!}
(Sfx- Gopaaah *blorsh*)
Ryoko: Kyah!

007
{Just a little closer and I would have had it…!!}
(Sfx- Dotsuhh thud*)
Zen: Ryoko!
{Dammit! The ground is sticky so I can barely move!}
{And going at it in mid-air didn’t do a thing either, so now what…?}
{Huh?}
(Sfx- Jiwaah *sfft*)
{Come to think of it…}
{Back then with the Chicken I was able to touch it like this too….}
{Awwwright….}

008
(Sfx- Zuruhh *Sffft*)
Zen: Ryoko!!
Hear me out for a minute!
Ryoko: Huuuh? Why on earth would you want to do something so dangerous?
Zen: We’ve gotta get a move on or there won’t be any more yam left!
Ryoko: B—buuut…
That’s such a reckless plan…
Hmm, but…
The yam…
I understand.
Grab this and hold on tight!
(Sfx- Zuhhh *Sffft*)

009
Ryoko: H-Here we go!
(Sfx- Buuun *fwissh*)
Zen: Oorraaaaah!
(Sfx- Bahooooo *fwoooo*)
(Sfx- Gopaaah *bloorsh*)
Zen: Norraaaagh!
(Sfx- Bayuuhhh *fwwfff*)

010
{He can use it that way too?}
(Sfx- Dann *tok*)
(Sx- Bwaaahh)
Zen: Ryoko, over here!
{Thank you.}
{With this…}
{I have a non-slippery foothold!}

011
(Sfx- Zuupaaah *slisssh*)
(Sfx- Taa *tmp*)
(Sfx- Tsuruunn *slip*)

012
(Sfx- Koke *tk*)
Zen: Awwright! We beat it!
Ryoko: Wah…
Then that really is…
Zen: Yup there’s no mistakin’ it. It came from my hands…
Ryoko: Just what is it?
Zen: I dunno either!
(Handwritten- Dunno~)

013
Zen: I only really noticed it recently.
And I gotta say I was pretty freaked out too…
It’s like this…
If I touch it for a little while it rots.
{The General can rot ingredients by just touching them?}
Zen: The Rice called me something like a “germ”…
Could it be that this power of mine is the reason everyone was put in danger?
I can’t remain in the dark about my abilities.
I’m happy that you and your Dad offered me a place to stay, Ryoko…
But I don’t want to involve you guys in this.

014
Zen: That’s why first and foremost I have to find out exactly what I am!
I’ll find everyone else after I do that.
Ryoko: We’re both…
In the dark about a lot of things it seems…
General..

015
Ryoko: Why don’t you and I go to a different city?
We need to leave town and see more of this world!
I still don’t….
Know anything about this world…
However my encounter with the rice, and meeting you…
Makes me believe there are still plenty of fearsome ingredients out there.
To protect our home…
I too need to learn more.
Plus I want to search for leads in regard to my mother!

016
Zen: Then first off let’s make a day trip.
If you need a guide then leave it to me.
Remembering pathways is my specialty.
Ryoko: Okay…
I’ll leave it to you.
(Sfx- Niii *grin*)
Zen: Welp, that’s a wrap for today! Let’s head back!
(Sfx- Kann kann *tak tak*)

017
{We sort of forgot about the yam midway through…}
{So we’re going to be together for now on huh…I haven’t managed to mentally prepare myself yet either..}
{But Dad’s already given his permission..!!}
Zen: Say, what’s that thing?
Ryoko: It’s a leftover ingredient truck…
Zen: Cool.

018
Zen: I like it! I’ll live here.
(Sfx- Dakii *grab*)
Ryoko: Wait, you don’t mean inside of a truck?!
Zen: It’s cool just to borrow it for a bit, right?
Ryoko: What part of that is cool?
C’mon, let that thing go and come home!
(Sfx- Babaaah *fwapp*)
Zen: I don’t wanna~
(Sfx- Gugugugu *grnnnnd*)
Ryoko: Geeez…
C’mon, Zen…
{And so that’s how he became the free lodger beside my room.}

MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Sfx- Bataaan *thud*)
(Side text- Zen’s awake!!)
Ryoko: Wh—what?!
{Geez, of all times to wake up…why’d it have to be while I was doing laundry?}

003
(Sfx- Kyorokyoro *wfft*)
Zen: Where am I?
Ryoko: Um…
This is my house.
Zen: Vice captain, you sure got old…
Dad: Hahah, I’m Ryoko’s Father.
Ryoko: You’ve been asleep for five days….how are you feeling?
Zen: Five days?! That’s crazy! Where are the others?
Ryoko: I went to look for them, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.
But I didn’t see any traces of blood or anything so I think they managed to escape.

004
Ryoko: I’m sorry I couldn’t find them.
Zen: It’s cool, don’t worry about it.
Ryoko: Huh?
Zen: All this worrying has made me hungry. I’m gonna go get some canned food.
(Sfx- Sutasutasuta *tmptmptmp*)
Ryoko: W—wait! We’ve got food here!
Zen: Whoooa! Thanks!
Time to chow down!
(Sfx- Zuraaaaah *thoooom*)
(Sfx- Washhih *shfft*)
Ryoko: We’ve got chopsticks, so why are you using your hands?!
Zen: But the chopsticks are dirty, right?
Ryoko: So are your hands!!
Zen: It improves the taste.
Ryoko: No it doesn’t!!
{Why is he like this….}

005
Dad: Still, this is a surprise…are there any other people aside from you all out there?
Zen: Hn?
I know there are places with lots of people…
But they’re not necessarily nice or anything.
See, we came from various places and moved around a lot looking for a place to live…
But each place we went to was under the control of the ingredients and very dangerous.
But for some reason this city was the only one not taken over by the ingredients..
And it’s way safer than anywhere else we’ve been so we stayed here the longest.
{The ingredient that took control of this place was the Black haired A5 Japanese beef.}
{I’m sure that it’s the strongest and smartest one in this city.}

006
Zen: It seems like the craziness from these ingredients is spreading,
And now the amount of ingredients in Japan is rising.
Seems like even this place won’t be safe for folks before long.
Ryoko: I see..
Dad: General, what will you do from here on?
You’ve been separated from your friends…
Zen: It’s cool.
Those guys have the vice-captain, and without baggage like me holding ‘em back, they’ll survive.
So there’s no need to worry about ‘em.
So I have to just get all healed up,
And take my time searching for ‘em.

007
{I’m concerned about mom myself…}
Ryousuke: Papa!
Let’s play!
Dad: Well, for now…
We’ve managed to treat you, but your body is still a mess,
And you’ll need time to heal.
So while you’re recovering…
You can stay here with us!
(Sfx- Pikuhh *poit*)

008
Zen: Yay! You sure about that, pops?
Dad: Well, we can’t throw out an injured person after all!
Ryoko: D—dad, are you serious?
Dad: People are meant to help others out, right?
You can have the room on the second floor beside Ryoko’s.
Zen: Where?
Ryoko: Kyaaaaaah!!
Wait, wait, wait! Dad, this whole conversation got weird in a hurry!
Dad: Why are you so against this?
Ryoko: B—b-because…
My room only has one folding screen separating the two…
And I haven’t cleaned the room yet…

009
Ryousuke: I’ll show you the way.
Ryoko: Ryousuke, don’t!
Dad: Wait, weren’t you going to hunt today?
Ryoko: That’s right?
This is bad…
I’ve let too much time go by…
If I don’t hurry out there and hunt then..
Dad, yesterday we heard the yam’s cry right?!
Dad: That’s right, I’m sure it was the one buried in the schoolyard.
As long as it doesn’t move much it should be fine, but..
Ryoko: Then we’re having grilled yams today! I’ll make the preperations!
(Sfx- Tatatatata *tmptmptmp*)
Ryoko: I’m off!
Dad: Okay, be safe out there.
Ryoko: Ah! Don’t go into that room, either!

(Sfx- Daan *hop*)
(Sfx- Kan *clak*)
(Sfx- Totsuh *shfft*)
(Sfx- Byoooooohhh *fwhoooooh*)
Ryoko: I have to hurry and find that yam…
Or it’ll go to waste!
???: How’s it going? Did you find it?
Ryoko: No, not yet…
???: I see…

011
Ryoko: --wait, whaaaaaaat?
Why did you follow me? This place is dangerous?
Zen: Ahahahah, I’d say it’s the same for you though.
(Sfx- Kankankankanan *taktaktaktak*)
(Sfx- Sutaah *tmph*)
Zen: Ooh.
Ryoko: Go back home.
Zen: Huh? Why?

012
Ryoko: You are still injured!
And you won’t get any better if you do not rest!
Zen: But look, see I’m good enough to move around…
And walk at least..
Ryoko: Do you not understand that ingredients are lurking around here?!
Geez, fine. Just stay behind me…
I’m in a hurry here!
Zen: Oooh…
Ryoko: By the way General, do you remember when I was fighting the rice?
Zen: Hm?
Oh yeah that was pretty painful.
What is it? Did something happen?
Ryoko: Yeah, at the time the surroundings around the rice were strange…
Zen: Oh?

013
Zen: Ah! A tomato!
It just appeared outta nowhere!
(Sfx- Zuuhhh *Sffft*)
Zen: Ryoko are we gonna eat that thing too?
Ryoko: We’re not hunting that. Today is yams only!
Tomata: Shaaaaaaah!
(Sfx- Bakuunn *thooom*)

014
Zen: It ate the tomato!!
Ryoko: It’s a predator! Get back!
Yams….
To think it was this huge…
Yam: NAAAAAAAAAHHH

015
(Sfx- baaooooh *fwhooom*)
(Sfx- SHuuuhh *shhhhsh*)

Zen: Uwaaah!
(Sfx- Dopapapa *bloorsh*)
Zen: What the heck? It’s so sticky!!

016
{I can’t be careless….I have to finish this quickly or else!!}
Ryoko: I’ll decide it with one stroke of this sword…
(Sfx- Bogooooh *blrop*)
{No way…?!}
(Sfx- Gopaaah *spiiiit*)
Zen: Gyaaah! This time it spit the tomato out!!

017
{Dangit!}
(Sfx- Zupaaah *Blorsh*)
(Sfx- Bichaa *blshh*)
Ryoko: Kyah!
(Sfx- Zuteeen *thud*)
(Sfx- gohhhths)
Ryoko: Oww….
(Sfx- Doroooh *blrsh*)
Ryoko: It got me….I didn’t think it’d go after the General….
(Sfx- nebaah)
(Sfx- Zurururu *shhhhs*)
Zen: Ah! It’s getting away!

018
Ryoko: We have to hurry…hurry and go after it,
Or we’ll never make it in time!
Zen: Why are you in such a rush? We’ve still got time till sunset, right?+
(Sfx- pitaaah *ptt*)
Ryoko: If we don’t hurry…
The yam will..
Keep moving around, and as it does it’s body will fall apart..
Until there’s nothing of it left!!
Zen: Th—that’s bad.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhh *dsshhhh*)

MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- Time has passed since the fight with the rice, and life goes on as usual. Nothing in particular has changed with Ryoko, but…)

003
(Sfx- Baah *fwap*)

004
Ryoko: It doesn’t seem like he’s awakened yet.
{So you’re the germ.}

005
{Child of that woman…}
{Someday I will kill both you and your parent.}
Ryoko: It seemed like that rice (bolded) knew about the General.
Furthermore it seemed to know about Mom too..
I wonder if mom is really alive…
I should talk to Dad about mom…
(Sfx- Dota dota *thmp thmp*)

006
Dad: Hmmm…
It’s been broken pretty cleanly.
It won’t be any use as a katana ever again.
(Sfx- Kachaah *clack*)
Dad: I suppose I can use it to make a new weapon?
Ryoko: Dad?
Dad: Ah, Ryoko!
Thanks for doing the laundry….how’s the General doing?

007
Ryoko: He hasn’ t awakened yet.
It sucks, there’s so much I want to ask him…
Dad: Hahah, no use fretting over it.
It’s actually a miracle that he’s alive with those injuries.
I was really surprised when you returned with him in tow, Ryoko.
Ryoko: Sorry, a whole bunch of things happened…
And I was really worried about him…
{Ryoko, you’re the one I was most worried about…}
{But you’re acting so nonchalant…}
{Ryoko…}
(Sfx- Zaaaaaaaaaaahhh *shhhhhh*)

008
(Sfx- Zaaaah *sshhhhh*)
(Sfx- Zaaaaah *Sshhhhh*)
Ryoko: I’m back…
Dad, it’s far too dangerous to be out here alone.
Dad: Ryoko, what happened?! And that boy, is he hurt?
We have to attend to his wounds immediately!
Ryoko: Okay.
Oh, Dad…?
I met up with some rice..

009
Dad: Wha…R---Rice?!
Ryoko: But it was strong…
And I couldn’t defeat it.
{So she actually met them?}
{The ones who brought that beef here to begin with?}
{The shock to her must have been major…}
{It’s been a few days since then but is she really okay?}
Ryoko: Awwright.
(Sfx- Sukuhhh *shfft*)

010
Ryoko: Dad, tonight…
We’re going to eat Rice!
(Sfx- Pokaaannn *pooof*)
Dad: Whaaaat?! Rice!? Isn’t that kind of sudden?!
Ryoko: I didn’t get much of it, but I did manage to get a little we can broil.
And as a side dish we can have beef sinew stew!
Dad: Oooooooh!!
It’s been a few years since we had rice.
Ryoko: Yeah.
We don’t have any ginger…
Awww, I totally forgot that we ran out…
And I was thinking we totally had some….the stew needs it…

011
Dad: Ryoko! I’ve got a tube of the stuff here if you need it!
(Sfx- Teteeeen *tadaaaa*)
Ryoko: How many years have we had that?!
(Handwritten- And where did it come from?)
(Sfx- Tatatatata *tmptmtmp*)
Ryoko: I’ll head out right now and get some ingredients.
Dad: Right now?!
Ryoko, what about the katana you received from the Mastser?
Ryoko: I’m fine!!
I’ll use the hammer today.
Dad: But wouldn’t the katana be better….
Ryoko: This is what I feel like going with.
Don’t worry…
I’ll be right back!

012
Ryoko: Found it!
(Sfx- Gagagaaaaaahhhh)
(Sfx- Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah)

013
(Sfx- Dochaah)
Ryoko: I’ve got it!
Dad: Welcome home.
The rice should be done broiling soon.
Ryoko: Okaay.
Dad: I’ve already set out the tablewear.
Ryoko: Thanks, Dad!
(Sfx- Powaaaah *fwhoooh*)
(Sfx- Poku poku *plop plooop*)

014
Dad: Ryoko…
Ryoko: What is it?
Dad: Um, it’s just…
Ryoko: What’s the matter?
(Sfx- Kacha kacha *clack clack*)
Dad: You don’t seem to be down…
Probably because you could be attacked again, right…
If that’s the case then we don’t need to depend on you any long--
Ryoko: Dad!
Even I’ve been doing some thinking over the last few days.
Things like, “what if I can’t protect everyone” and yes, it does sometimes bring me some anxiety…
But even then…

015
Ryoko: Even if I’m scared and anxious…
Compared to that my love for preparing food for my family is greater.
That’s why I want to become stronger.
I’ve already got plenty of resolve.
Dad: Ryoko…
I understand.
(Sfx- Zuraaaaah)
Ryoko: It’s done!!

016
Dad: It’s amazing, the smell of rice permeates the entire house!
Ryoko: Right?
Ryosuke: What’s this?
Ryoko: It’s rice!
Dad: It’s been four years….
Ryoko: Yup.
Okay, time to eat!
Dad: Yeah!
Everyone: Thank you for this meal!!
(Sfx- Aaaan)
(Sfx- Pakkuh *chomp*)

017
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
Ryosuke: Sis, I wanna eat this every day!
It’s so good!
Ryoko: Right?
I want to eat this forever.

018
{The scent of rice for the first time in four years stirs memories of the past world.}
{Of course this includes mom too.}
Ryoko: I’ll save a portion for General.
{This world is filled with dangers that I know nothing about.}
{But I’ll become stronger.}
Ryoko: Okay,
Time to clean up!
Zen: Mmm…
Something smells good.

You really are a lifesaver….
Ryoko: Just stop talking!
Rice: We’ve been searching for you…
Germ.
Ryoko: What are you planning to do with him?

004
Rice: There’s no point in you knowing this,
As you are about to die.
The moment we gain complete control of this land,
There will be no need or value for humanity.
Ryoko: So the ingredients…
Intend to rule the world…?
Rice: We do not intend to rule anything..
We simply intend to fixed humanity’s warped sense…
Of the strong eating the weak.

Gido: Vice captain!

I’m not going to let you get separated from us too!
Shirataki: Guh..
Let me go you idiot!!
Generaaal!!

Rice: People have one-sidedly eaten far too much.
Humanity is now…
No more than a harmful influence on the ecosystem.
We will weed out the useless livestock known as humanity…
And give birth to a whole new order!
You all have lost.
From now on,
The annihilation of humanity will be peace incarnate.

011
Ryoko: It’s true…
The world of people may have long since ended, but…
I am not yet ready to give up my daily life with my family…
Nor will I let you have our dinner table!

You’re…
It would seem that the best course of action is to eliminate you here.

It matters not.
I will have plenty of opportunities after this.

Rice: People comment that they can rely on a physical strength greater than their own…
You truly are an irritating bunch…
Child of that woman…
Someday I will kill both you and your parent.

Wait…

Dude: Yeah, restoring it is impossible at this point.

Awwright,
If that’s the case..
(Sfx- Batsuhh)

This time we’ll find more suitable property….

There’s no point…
Zen: Despite that….
No matter how many times we have to,
We’ll make our own place.

015
Zen: But y’know…
It shouldn’t be just those of us who are weird in the head.
If we really wanna be strong we need to bring everyone in to cooperate with us.
We’ve all got helping hands.
So stand up Vice Captain Shirataki.
You’re still my right hand.
Gido: When you put it that way, guess there’s no way ‘round it.

Ryoko: Eh!? Then I can’t take this.
Moreover.
What I want is that onion over there…
Zen: Huh?
Zen: You’re gonna eat it like that?
(Sfx- Kokun kokun *Nod nod*)
Ryoko: Onions are edible on their own from the start!
When they’re big like that they’re plenty tasty.

006
Zen: But it’s so bitter….
And tough.
(Sfx- Gajigaji *chew chew*)
Ryoko: Wha?
Hey, what are you doing?! At least rinse it off!!
(Handwritten- You’ll wreck your stomach!)
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
Zen: Ahh, therb is thabt.
Ryoko: Listen, okay? You can’t just bite into the head with your full strength like that.
That’s where the drugs concentrate most which is what caused this thing to grow in the first place, so it’s no good.
So that’s why it’s best to slice the head off and pick the part of it that’s swelling up..
In short, the part that’s worth eating is that one.
Understand?
(Sfx-dosaarii *loom*)
Zen: This part tastes weird though.
(Sfx- Mogu mogu *chew chew*)
Ryoko: You just put anything in your mouth huh…

007
Ryoko: I came here looking for Avocado and not onions though…
But it looks like none are coming out. I guess today was a bust….
Zen: Avocado? Y’mean that black sorta scraggly looking stuf?
Ryoko: Yes…do you know about it?
Zen: If you want some, we’ve got it at home. I can take you there!
(Handwritten- Hows about it?)
Ryoko: Huh?! At home?!
{Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What should I do? I’m being invited over to a boy’s house….}
{Ah, but I was told a long time ago not to follow strangers…}
Ryoko: But the Avocado…
Vice: Are you okay, General?!
(Sfx- Baaaan *thuuuud*)
Ryoko: Kyah!
Zen: oh! Vice chief!

008
(Sfx- Dadaahh *tmptmp*)
Ryoko: Now who is it?!
(Sfx- Gahhh *Grab*)
Vice: I saw your moves, Gasmask! You sliced the onion in one hit!
Those aren’t the moves of an ordinary person.
Where’d you come from, dammit?!
What’s your aim, and what gang are you with?
(Sfx- Gafu * cough*)
(Sfx- Botatatah *drirprip*)
(Handwritten- Your injuries…)
Ryoko: What’s with you all of a sudden?
Zen: Vice chief, she saved my life so I was gonna take her back to the house.
(Sfx- Gabaahahh *fwoosh*)
Vice: What?!
Are you insane?! She might be a thie---
Zen: Calm down….

009
Zen: She just happened to be around and saved me.
She can’t be a bad person.
Vice: Maan, if something happens I ain’t gonna be responsible for it.
Zen: HAhahaha…
(Sfx- Gan gannn *clang clang*)
{How many years has it been since I’ve walked with boys…}
{They said they’d give me some Avocado, but is this really a good idea?}
{No, I’ve gotta do this. Avocado is important, after all!}
{If I go I can eat some!}

010
Zen: We’ve arrived!
Ryoko: You made a base under a freeway?
{So the black smoke came from here, huh…}
(Sfx- Waaah)
Zen: Welcome to our place.
Heeey, we’re back.
Hey!
C’mon out!

011
Big dude: General, you’re back?
Little dude: General~ Vice Chief~
(Sfx- Beraaah *fwaaap*)
Big dude: Thank goodness you got back okay.
Vice: What about the canned goods?
Big dude: Thanks to you guys we got about a month’s worth.
{To think there were this many people here…}
Little dude: Hey, who’s she?
Big Dude: Whoa, she’s packin’ a katana….
Ryoko: Um, I’m Tenba Ryoko.
It’s a pleasure to meet you.
So then, where are you preparing the avocado you mentioned before?
(Sfx- Sowa sowa)
Big dude: Oh.
Zen: Over here.

012
Zen: Avocado.
(Sfx- Gooouhhh *fwooooom*)
(Sfx- Gooooh *whoooom*)
Vice: I’m in charge of cooking it, so I say we fry it good.
Zen: Oooh! Thanks!
Is it ready yet?
Vice: Hmm…still needs a bit more time.
Ryoko: You people…look at what you’re doing to that valuable avocado…
(Sfx- Zupaaahhh *fwooof*)
Vice: Whoa!

013
Vice: You bitch! What are you doing?
Ryoko: I’ll….
Make the food.
Vice: Whoa…
(Sfx- Piri piri)
Zen: Huh?
Ryoko: Take out the trash!
Someone: Yes’m!
Ryoko: Set the table!
Someone: Yes’m!
Ryoko: Wash the utensils and onions!
Zen: I’m back!!
Big dude: What’s the fuss in there?
Cooking?
Little Dude: They’re cooking!
Maybe we’ll be able to eat something that isn’t well done for once!

014
(Sfx- Zuraaaahhh)
Big Dude: What is this….
Little Dude: It’s so warm…
Ryoko: Other than the avocado it’s all canned stuff, but…
Go ahead and dig in!
Thanks for the meal!
(Sfx- Pakuhhh *chomp*)

015
(Handwritten- So good!)
Zen: It’s awessssssssome.
Big Dude: I’ve eaten all sorts of things, but never anything as good as today!
Little dude: Yeah…
Zen: It’s so good that it hurts!!
Ryoko: That’s because you’re shoveling it into your mouth…
(Sfx- Gataaan *clang*)
(Sfx- Bogoohh)
{Being around these people is so noisy…}
Ryoko: It’s like..

016
{Eating in a school cafeteria.}

017
(Sfx- Bazooohh *doom*)
{That’s right, thanks to the ingredients…}
{Eating food with friends is difficult now..}
Zen: Ahahaahahah!
Ryoko: Say…

018
Ryoko: General, why are you in a dangerous place like this?
Zen: Huh?
You’ll just keep being attacked if you’re here ---by things like that onion!
If you encounter ingredients that are smarter than people, then what will you do?
You’d be safer if you just kept running right?
Zen: Y’know…
We haven’t had any relatives for four years now.

019
Zen: All of our families have died leaving us all alone….
At first we were like there’s no point in living anymore.
However when we ran into each other –people with the same situation by chance,
We found ourselves supporting one another and continuing to live.
It’s true that the ingredients in Japan have all become monsters,
But we have no reason to run away.
What we’ve lost and the new things we’ve gained are here.
And we can’t let this place that’s precious to us be taken by those monsters.

020
Zen: We’ll be the ones to decide where we live.
After all, no matter where we go it’ll be tough going right?
(Handwritten- Hahahahaah)
{I see, they’ve…}
{Decided to stay here themselves.}
{There are others like that here…}

021
{They’re here…}
{Mom.}
Ryoko: Ah…
That’s my share!
???: What happened…??
(Sfx- Zazaaah *zzzzt*)
(Sfx- Goooooo *Roaaaar*)
???: Respond!!
Was the surprise attack on the “White rice” successful?!

022
???: H—
Hello? Respond 103rd squadron!

(Sfx- Doooooooooooooohhh *roaaaaaaaaar*)
(Sfx- Oooooooooh *oooorahhh*)

Ryoko: Y—yeah, I thought the ingredients I wanted might be running around there…
Dad: Could it be those ingredients?!
Ryoko: ..P—Probably?
Dad: Awwright. Then take this with you.

You should have one of these too, so I’ll give it to you.

Oooh, It’s pretty cool!

(Sfx- Garararaaaah clatter)
Ryoko: Is it finished?
Dad: Yup, it's perfect!
(Sfx- Paaaahhh)

003
Dad: What do you think?
I made this weapon for the ingredients that are difficult to hunt with a sword, and it's name is...
Diet Hammer Ver. 6!
(Sfx- oooooh!)
Ryoko: Version 6!!!
It's even got a stringer attached to it!!
Dad: Right?
You requested it Ryoko, so I welded it on!
(Sfx- Kuiii)
Ryoko: With this we can finally...
(Sfx- Guii grnd)
Ryoko: Drink orange juice!!
(Sfx- Nabaaahh)
Ryoko: You're so amazing to have made something like this, Dad!

004
Dad: Haha, to be frank I don't think you need that to hunt, Ryoko.
So Ryousuke...
Do you want to drink orange juice?
Ryousuke: Oreno jice?
Ryoko: Orange juice.
It's a tasty yellow-ish somewhat bitter drink.
Ryousuke: If it's yellow, then I make it too.
Dad: Hahahaha, Ryousuke, that's pee!
Ryoko: Well...
I'll take this out for a spin!
I'll get ready...
And then I'll be off!

Of course I want a whole lot!
Dad: Do you know where to search for oranges?
Ryoko: Yup!
I saw one on the school grounds one time before.

Thank goodness.
That's not too far from here...I was worried you know?

Well, off I go!

Ryoko: Upsy daisy..

007
Ryoko: It'd be great if I could drive...!
Hmm, nothing here...
Maybe I should wait then...?
Ah! That's it!

008
