| Raimon: |
Ah greetings. Welcome to the world of "Tsubasa" where love and sensuality continue daily. |
| Kotobuki: |
Waa-
It's a lie!
It's a big lie!! |
| Author: |
Be that as it may. Let's go~!
|
| Narrative: |
There were many
wars.
Even now, the ground withers. Destroyed buildings lie in ruin.
Only the rich, well connected and militia are able to use modern conveniences
The people suffer in poverty. Jobs are scarce and security is poor.
Engulfed in ruin.
This is
End of the 22nd century Earth. |
| Guard: |
It's a thief!!
|
| Guard: |
Aah!
It's the thief Kotobuki |
|
*BATA* (falls) |
| Guard: |
Ow.
Damn!!
Bouncing around all over the place as always.
She's a monkey; a monkey!! |
| Guard: |
Anyhow cut her off...
Huh!?
Where's the Captain!? |
| Guard: |
He's taken off on his own again |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammit.
So sorry for being like a monkey!! |
|
*trip*
|
| Kotobuki: |
Gya! |
|
*splat*
|
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki? |
| Kotobuki: |
R-A-I-M-O-N |
| Raimon: |
Sorry. You okay?
It's been six months since we last met.
Did you manage to steal something good? |
| Kotobuki: |
Don't act so chummy!!
You're military aren't you!? The Captain of that company?
Do your job; your job!! |
| Raimon: |
If I were to be serious,
I'd catch you in no time
You don't steal anything valuable yet refuse to give an inch.
If you were to think of something you're good at, it'd be bouncing around all over the place like a monkey.
Hahaha |
| Kotobuki: |
My apologies
|
| Kotobuki: |
Then what about the past two and a half years where you've been chasing after but not catching me? |
| Raimon: |
I've been letting you get away. |
|
*mukaa* (gets angry) |
| Kotobuki: |
This guy!!
Oh I see.
Thank you so much!!
He's always like this.
Irresponsible!!
Ill-natured!!
Why don't you get yourself demoted and sent to some Godforsaken backwater in the middle of nowhere!!
|
| Raimon: |
Well, if you're going to say that much, then how about a little bet. |
| Kotobuki: |
Huh!? |
| Raimon: |
Run for your life.
Next time, I'll catch you without fail.
And if you lose...
|
| Kotobuki: |
Gimme a break you ass Raimon!! As if I'd ever agree to that kind of
bet... |
| Girl: |
Y-
You surpised me Kotobuki. |
|
*patan* (closes book) |
| Girl: |
I thought you were sleeping when you suddenly... |
| Kotobuki: |
I had a nightmare...
Eheh-
It's been three months since then... |
|
That's right. It's been three months now |
| Girl: |
Shall we go back. Our break's almost over. |
|
I've come this far living as a thief since I was six.
If I hadn't, I wouldn't have survived in this world.
Without money, I was unable to get a room and would camp outside; same with food.
Always that sort of life.
Or so it was but
|
|
Since coming to this town, I finally found my first job... |
|
*jiiiin* |
| Girl: |
Kotobuki? |
| Kotobuki: |
It was a long 16 years dreaming of a job and now...!! |
| Owner: |
You're late Kotobuki!! |
| Kotobuki: |
I know!! |
| Owner: |
Hurry up and get some wood!! |
| Narrative: |
The shop owner gets on my nerves and it's hard labour but |
|
*pant pant* |
| Owner: |
Kotobuki, get the dishes from the back.
After that, fix the roof!! |
|
*pant pant pant pant* |
| Kotobuki: |
Yeah yeah. |
| Girl: |
How awful.
He's pushing you around over-working you.
Kotobuki, you'll collapse. |
| Kotobuki: |
It's okay!!
Afterall, it's work. |
| Narrative: |
It feels much better than when I was working as a thief.
|
| Narrative: |
Plus I'm really far from the area Raimon was in charge of. |
| Kotobuki: |
I shouldn't get caught
But it's not like I ran away!!
Flow. I went with the flow and ended up here!! |
| Rich Man: |
Slow
Isn't my food ready yet!! |
|
*whack* |
| Kotobuki: |
Wah |
|
*clatter* |
| Kotobuki: |
Hey
That's dangerous you old fart!
A little more and they'd've broke!! |
| Rich Man: |
What'd you say?
I'm a customer! |
| Owner: |
Kotobuki!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Gr.
...my apologies... |
| Rich Man: |
Sheesh!
Poor people are always like this!! |
| Girl: |
Sheesh. Just because he's the richest guy in this town.
I'll take the dishes over for you |
| Kotobuki: |
Thank you |
| Shouka: |
Kotobuki?
|
| Shouka: |
Kotobuki the thief? |
| Kotobuki: |
!? |
|
*PASHI* (covers Shouka's mouth) |
| Shouka: |
Mff.
...so it seems.
Pleased to meet you. My name's Shouka.
I follow the same trade as you.
I want to talk to you for a moment.
Just why is a thief working in that sort of place? |
| Kotobuki: |
...no reason.
I just don't see thieving as the ultimate career
Just what do you want anyways!
|
| Shouka: |
I've heard rumours about you.
You're only 15~6 but are extremely agile
They say you're like a monkey. |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammit!!
Each and every one of them (says that)!! |
| Shouka: |
Thieving technique aside, your agility isn't easy to come by.
Why don't you join my group rather than rot in a place like this?
That and help out in my search for "Tsubasa" |
| Kotobuki: |
"Tsubasa"... You mean that "Tsubasa"? |
| Shouka: |
That's right. The legendary "Tsubasa" |
| Kotobuki: |
You're searching for that? |
| Shouka: |
Actually,
Quite a number of people are seriously searching
The militia too in secret...
Or so I hear |
| Narrative: |
There's a legend in this age |
|
Long...
Long ago
There was an extremely tiny and poor village
One day
From that earth
|
| Narrative: |
Giving off thousands of rays of light, "Tsubasa" appeared.
Some people became extremely wealthy,
Some gained immortality
All the wishes of the many people
Living in that town were granted.
Then it disappeared once again.
What form it took
Or how it should be called
Why it's called "Tsubasa"
No one knows. But |
|
Even now, somewhere on this Earth it rests. And if you find it
Any sort of wish will be granted- |
| Kotobuki: |
...sorry but
I've finally gotten myself a job so I'm not interested. |
| Shouka: |
*chuckles*
You're a foolish child trying to act so tough. |
| Kotobuki: |
What'd you say!? |
| Shouka: |
Fine then.
Just giving in is no fun so
We'll meet again shall we. |
| Henchman 1: |
You shouldn't take our leader so lightly.
|
| Henchman 2: |
She's underhanded, pokey and has no control. |
| Shouka: |
You talk too much!!
I'll hit you!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Who are these people... |
|
--I never thought anyone would seriously be searching... |
|
*bang* *bang* *bam* *wham* |
|
Trying to act so tough |
| Kotobuki: |
Who is!! |
|
I've always lived on my own.
I had only my own strength to rely on to survive each day.
Even if I were to speak my uncertainties, no one would help.
"Tsubasa" eh...
Any wish is granted... |
|
*POOF* |
| Kotobuki: |
Just why did you come to mind just then!! |
|
*BUN BUN BUN* (shakes head) |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah forget it. Work. Work!! |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki |
| Kotobuki: |
Urk. The owner!?
I'm working as you said...
......... |
|
*poro* (drop)
|
|
*ZU* (slip) |
| Kotobuki: |
Ra |
| Raimon: |
Whoa |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon~~!? |
| Raimon: |
Yo.
Been awhile. |
|
The real thing
Why here |
| Kotobuki: |
You
Why
Here
Why's my voice cracking like that!! |
| Raimon: |
I took some leave and am in the middle of a vacation |
| Kotobuki: |
So why are you here in the middle of nowhere...!! |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki
|
| Raimon: |
You cheat. Wearing a girdle. |
| Kotobuki: |
You idiot, you looked!! |
| Raimon: |
I saw. |
| Kotobuki: |
You could've closed your eyes!!
Aa
There's
no chance...
You were serious about
that wager...
|
| Raimon: |
Wager?
What wager |
| Kotobuki: |
...of course.
You're an irresponsible sort of guy.
I thought that bet was just something you'd said at the spur of the moment.
I figured as much but...
|
| Kotobuki: |
To forget about it!?
There are limits to irresponsibility, damn you!! |
| Raimon: |
Well, I was busy with all sorts of things-- |
| Kotobuki: |
Enough!!
The militia and I have nothing to do with each other anymore!! |
| Raimon: |
You're working here at this inn right?
That's great. |
|
*pat pat* |
| Kotobuki: |
It's
It's not that I'm doing really well...
eh
Why do you know... |
| Raimon: |
Bring my breakfast to my room. |
| Kotobuki: |
You're staying here--!? |
|
Aah
I was so riled up last night I couldn't sleep. |
| Kotobuki: |
To meet in a place like this... |
| Girl: |
Kotobuki. |
|
*morning shopping*
|
| Girl: |
That guy who's staying at our inn, Raimon. Is he military? |
| Kotobuki: |
Why do you ask that!! |
| Girl: |
You can't help but hear if you talk that loudly. How do you know him? |
| Kotobuki: |
Umm well... |
|
It's a good thing I never said anything about being a thief... |
| Girl: |
It must be nice knowing someone in the militia.
Every now and then a company comes to town but I'm too scared to go near them. |
| Kotobuki: |
I see...
Most are that way.
He's unique in that sense... |
| Girl: |
The militia's an elite profession you know?
If you get to the rank of company captain you get a private residence and they say you can use electricity and gas!!
It pays well and carries a lot of prestige, you can't help but wish for it.
That Raimon's good looking too. Ask him if he's got a girlfriend. |
|
*jerks back* |
| Kotobuki: |
Stu...
I can't ask him that!! |
| Girl: |
Eh~?
Why not?
Darn |
| Kotobuki: |
You ask why... |
| Author Note: |
Tsubasa wo Motsu Mono 1
Nice to meet you and for some hello, I'm Takaya.
The fourth volume is Tsubasa eh. Compared to "Genei" the gap between the two may be quite strong. Alough I don't really mind personally.
However alternating writing between the two can get rather confusing. "Tsubasa" is basically a forward looking story filled with loud characters... (although I feel Raimon's a bit different... *laughs*) It'd be great if you become happy when reading it.
Please enjoy.
Having moved is fine but I can't get anything cleaned up...
What'll I do...
|
| Kotobuki: |
Because...
.........
It's galling
That sort of thing!! |
| Girl: |
Ah wait.
Kotobuki? |
|
Ever since we first met, he's always been like that. |
| (Raimon:) |
(Nice to meet you
You're called Kotobuki?
So cute.) |
| (Kotobuki:) |
Are you stupid, you idiot.
Do your job) |
| (Raimon:) |
(I will
Someday) |
|
Irresponsible and ill-natured, |
|
*Ha ha ha ha* |
|
That guy, he's never been serious even once
That's right
And what am I supposed to ask a guy like that. |
| Kotobuki: |
Hmph
As if. |
|
It's almost as if I'm worried or something!!
That's really annoying!! |
|
*BAN*
*GASHAAN* |
| Girl: |
Kyaa!!
|
|
*ZUDAN* |
| Kotobuki: |
What...?
Notes by arrow?
Talk about archaic... |
| Girl: |
Should we read it...? |
| Kotobuki: |
Be careful |
| Girl: |
..."Kotobuki will bring nothing but trouble. It'd be best to fire her immediately. If you don't......"
What is this
That's mean |
| Kotobuki: |
It's that woman...
Shouka!!
Childish... |
| Owner: |
KO
TO~BU~KI~? |
|
*PON* (grab) |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah
Sorry... |
| Owner: |
What is this!?
Explain |
| Raimon: |
...... |
| Kotobuki: |
W...
Wait a minute, owner!!
|
| Owner: |
Shut up!!
How much do you think glass costs in this day and age. |
|
*jiro jiro jiro* (crowd looks on) |
| Kotobuki: |
I'll pay it back from my paycheque.
There's no reason to fire me!! |
| Owner: |
I don't want to get caught in any more trouble!! |
|
*SLAM* |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa
Wait, I haven't even gotten paid yet.
I haven't had breakfast yet and... |
|
*bang bang bang* |
| Owner: |
Go away already!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammit... |
|
I finally...
Found a way to work and support myself |
|
*DON* (bangs head against wall) |
|
I tried so hard...
This too...
Is no doubt my past coming back to haunt me but
For some reason
At times like this, for some reason
You want
To surrender to something, some greater power......
|
|
*BOWA~N* (image comes to mind) |
| Kotobuki: |
Mrf
So why does that guy's face come to mind!! |
|
*wham wham wham* |
|
In any case!!
Being depressed isn't going to feed me.
I won't lose heart!! |
|
*gyuu* (pulls on glove) |
| Kotobuki: |
......... |
|
From today, it's the return to the thieving trade
...... I guess
Oh boy
I'm really hungry... |
|
*Gyurururu* |
| Man: |
Ehh!?
Is that true, sir!! |
|
*DOKI (jumps)
SA (hides) |
| Rich Man: |
Idiot!!
You're speaking too loud!! |
| Man: |
Sorry... |
| Kotobuki: |
!
That rich old guy from yesterday |
| Rich Man: |
But then.
This thing's really something.
|
|
What? |
| Rich Man: |
The militia'll want this like you wouldn't believe.
I can't help smiling at the though of how high the offers will be.
This thing's one of a kind in the world. |
|
What are they talking about? |
| (Shouka:) |
They say the militia too, in secret...) |
|
Ah
Not
"Tsubasa"...? |
| Raimon: |
Ehh~? |
|
*BURURU* (engine noise) |
| Kotobuki: |
.........!! |
| Raimon: |
It's not good shouting |
| Kotobuki: |
Mm....
Mm... |
| Raimon: |
I heard you got fired. |
|
*HUG* |
| Raimon: |
You poor thing-- |
| Kotobuki: |
Gah... |
| Raimon: |
Ah
|
| Kotobuki: |
As of today, I'm going back to being a thief!!
I have no intention of getting chummy with the militia. |
| Raimon: |
In that case you're going to have to raise your thieving arm* |
| Kotobuki: |
I can raise my arm!
See!! |
| Raimon: |
Do you know the meaning of "to raise one's arm"? |
|
It's alright.
I'll find another job again soon.
Until then
I'll be able to steal safely... |
| Raimon: |
Are you afraid?
You're shaking. |
| Kotobuki: |
Stu... |
|
*KAA* (Blushes) |
| Kotobuki: |
Who is you stupid idiot!!
In any case, I... |
|
*BA* (jerks hand free) |
| Raimon: |
You're going to rob that old man's house? |
| Kotobuki: |
Urk
How'd he know!! |
| Raimon: |
I can tell
I didn't know you were interested in "Tsubasa" |
| Kotobuki: |
Not
Not really. I was just wondering what it's like...
That's all I thought. |
| NB: |
To "raise one's arm" means to improve one's skill
|
| Raimon: |
I think I'll come too. |
| Kotobuki: |
Wha
What are you saying; you're militia!! |
| Raimon: |
I'm on leave. |
| Kotobuki: |
Idiot!!
What're you doing take part in a theft!! |
| Raimon: |
I'm not going to steal anything.
I'm just going to watch. |
|
*GAKUU* |
| Kotobuki: |
Just where'd he lose his pride in being part of the militia!! |
| Raimon: |
? |
| Kotobuki: |
!?
Ah
That's the Captain of the guard for this town. |
| Raimon: |
Captain Yuugen must have it pretty rough being assigned way out here in the country. |
| Arrow: |
Urbanite. |
|
*DA* |
| Kotobuki: |
Uh oh
I'd better hurry and get on with this
Oh boy, oh boy.
And
Why are you following me!! |
| Raimon: |
Well
|
| Raimon: |
Because I want to be with you. |
| Kotobuki: |
.........
...
... |
|
That line too
Will it soon be forgotten like that wager?
Why does he come to be with me?
Just to pass the time? |
|
I can't ask |
|
When did I start getting so wrapped up with him?
It's no fair
Always just me
It'd be nice if I knew how he really felt.
...with "Tsubasa"
It'd probably be easy to know his true self.
It'd be easy with "Tsubasa"...
|
| Gang Member #1: |
Boss
Kotobuki's on the move somewhere. |
| Shouka: |
I see.
I wonder if that arrow was effective.
We'll follow her. We're going to interfere in her life until she agrees to join us. |
| Gang Member 1: |
But there's a guy with her... |
| Shouka: |
You guys can take care of the guy
Let's go!! |
| Gang Member 1: |
Leaving that sort of thing to others again... |
| Gang Member 2: |
It can't be helped.
The boss'd soon be throwing explosives; it'd be dangerous.
She's got no self-control |
| Kotobuki: |
So this is that old man's home. |
| Raimon: |
So?
How're you going to get in? |
| Kotobuki: |
Are you really going to come!? |
|
*GU GYURURURURU* (Kotobuki's stomach grumbles)
|
|
*GYURURURU* |
| Kotobuki: |
... |
|
*GASA GOSO* (Rummaging) |
| Raimon: |
...They're simple rations, but did you want it? |
|
*PIKU* (perks) |
| Raimon: |
It's okay for me to come along too right?
Okay? |
| Kotobuki: |
... |
| Raimon: |
Okay? |
| Kotobuki: |
Do whatever you please!! |
|
*GRAB* |
| Raimon: |
Yay~ |
| Kotobuki: |
.........
Alright, let's go. |
|
*STANDS* |
|
*chuckles*
*PASHU* (fires grappling hook)
|
| Raimon: |
Shall I go first? |
|
*GYU* (tightens rope) |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa.
If you think about things from this position going downwards... |
|
(You cheat. Wearing a girdle) |
|
*UKAA* |
| Kotobuki: |
Never mind!! I'll go first!! Absolutely!! |
| Raimon: |
...whatever you say. |
| Kotobuki: |
My clothes......
Maybe I should change them...
It's going to take awhile to get anywhere here... |
|
*BASA BASA BASA* |
| Kotobuki: |
Waa
Just what do you think you're doing |
| Raimon: |
Ah
I wonder what this is, eh? |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh...
|
| Raimon: |
I see |
| Kotobuki: |
What do you see |
| Raimon: |
That old man's into dealing with hot goods. |
| Kotobuki: |
Whoa
This guy's also into tax evasion.
And just what am I going to do exposing this old man's evil doings!? |
|
*BASA BASA BASA* |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki? |
| Rich Man: |
You two!! |
| Kotobuki: |
! |
| Rich Man: |
What're you doing there?
State your business!! |
| Raimon: |
Caught. |
| Kotobuki: |
... |
|
It really doesn't...
matter...
What I do... |
| Raimon: |
You need a permit to own a gun
(from the militia)
|
| Raimon: |
You got that by underhanded means too huh?
You're really a bad person |
| Rich Man: |
Shut up!!
You guys've seen things you're not supposed to. I'll kill you!!
What's with the calm demeanor |
| Raimon: |
In that case
How about one final wish
The location of something that's "one of a kind in this world" |
| Rich Man: |
Ah
Is that what you were after.
It's not here. It's being kept safe elsewhere. |
| Raimon: |
For example
The place where the "Black Auction" always takes place? |
| Rich Man: |
Aa |
| Raimon: |
You really should be more careful what you say.
Being used is one thing but
You seem pretty stupid. That's no good |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah um... you shouldn't piss him off so much. He's got a gun... |
| Rich Man: |
You damn kid
I won't let you have anything.
Neither goods
Nor money
They're mine. All mine... |
|
*inhales* |
| Raimon: |
There's a clue about "Tsubasa's whereabouts" hidden somewhere in this house--!! |
Kotobuki and
Rich Guy: |
!?
|
| Shouka: |
What'd you say!? |
| Kotobuki: |
Gya!! |
|
*BAN* (kicks in door) |
| Shouka: |
Where!?
Where is it!? |
| Kotobuki: |
You knew we were being followed didn't you!? |
| Raimon: |
Well yeah. |
| Gang Member #2: |
He's out cold. |
| Shouka: |
Damn
He's no use to us
Kotobuki where is...
Ra
Raimon!? |
|
*draws back* |
| Kotobuki: |
Not to mention
You've met before!? |
| Raimon: |
Yeah. |
| Shouka: |
Why're you here.
Two months ago, you
Quit the militia right!?
|
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
|
*pu* (laughs) |
| Kotobuki: |
What're you saying? This guy's in the middle of a leave. |
| Shouka: |
Look who's talking. What're you talking about!!
I know because I was caught by him at the time!! |
| Gang Members: |
That's right. Things were really bad then |
| (Raimon:) |
(Shall I let you escape
If I do, it'll be my responsibility and make it easier for me to quit the Militia) |
| (Shouka:) |
(Are you going to throw away an elite career!?) |
| (Raimon:) |
(There's something I want to do) |
| Shouka: |
He really quit after that!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Really...? |
| Raimon: |
Well yeah. |
|
Why
Lie
Something
Else he wanted to do
Did he always have so little will to do things...? |
|
(Next time, I'll catch you, without fail)
|
|
That bet too, was really only said for the heck of it
And so he forgot about it? |
| Shouka: |
In any case, I'll take that clue.
I'm not afraid of Raimon!
And in that case I have no more need of Kotobuki... |
|
*pull* |
| Shouka: |
Hey!
Listen to me when I'm speaking!!
"Tsubasa"
is mine |
|
*TOSS*
*BOOM* |
| Kotobuki: |
Aah |
|
*BOOM* |
|
I don't like this, "Tsubasa" |
| Raimon: |
Out comes the "no-control" woman. |
|
Help us, "Tsubasa." Tell me
What should I do |
| Kotobuki: |
Kyaa!
Ow~
A rock got in my eye |
|
*loop* |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon...?
Where...
|
|
*YANK* |
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
| Shouka: |
Sheesh
Saying that you had no interest in it |
| Kotobuki: |
~~~ |
|
*step* *step* |
| Shouka: |
For shame.
You were after it too, afterall.
True
If you had "Tsubasa," you could be rich and wouldn't need to steal.
It'd be easy to get anything you wanted.
Without even trying too.
All people, somewhere inside, wishes that they could "take things easy"
For that
Slaving away at their work
Why bother doing something so useless. |

Hey!! Boss
Evil woman!! |
| Shouka: |
Shut up |
|
...True
With my strength alone, it doesn't matter what I did it might not be enough
But if I accept that, and speak my weaknesses,
I feel like I'll never be able to get back on my feet.
That's right
|
|
I was putting up a strong front |
|
*whack* |
| Raimon: |
Personally,
I'm not happy unless I use my own ability to get what I want. |
| Shouka: |
Then why are you interfering? |
| Raimon: |
For one thing, I found Kotobuki first |
| Shouka: |
Why you... |
|
*WHACK* |
| Raimon: |
Let's go. |
| Kotobuki: |
... |
| Shouka: |
Pa pu po o |
| Gang Member 1: |
Boss
Pull yourself together!!
You look really stupid y'know!!
|
|
*BUMP* |
| Kotobuki: |
Oof
The militia!! |
|
Ah |
| Guard: |
What was that explosion just now!? |
| Yuugen: |
Raimon!?
Raimon Shiragi!? |
| Raimon: |
......
This is where the thing is. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh? |
| Raimon: |
It wouldn't be good for you to get caught right?
Go while I'm talking to them. |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah... okay |
| Raimon: |
It's been awhile Yuugen |
| Yuugen: |
Nevermind the pleasantries.
I've been looking for you.
Please, get in the car!! |
|
Eh
But
Hang on. What's that
supposed to mean.
|
|
He's not going to be forced back into the militia
Is he?
But |
|
"If you only had "Tsubasa" any wish could be granted.
Without even trying too......!!" |
|
(Me
I'm not happy if
I don't use my own strength to get what I want
That's great
That's great)
|
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon!!
Wait a minute, you--!! |
| Guard: |
What's with that kid. What do you want with Shiragi!!
Calling him by name like that!! |
|
Absolutely useless
I get fired
I'm lousy at stealing |
|
But
I've managed to come this far on my own |
| Guard: |
Oops |
|
So
For my true wishes, being effective by wy own ability
Having an effect with my own strength
|
|
Keep trying!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Wait dammit!! |
| Yuugen: |
Do you know how much the brass have been counting on your military genius.
Making you Captain of a company was to give you the necessary experience.
They promise you have a guaranteed position
So come back to the militia.
!?
Raimon
What are... |
|
*BASA* |
| Yuugen: |
Wa |
| Raimon: |
I told you, didn't I
That there's something else I wanted to do.
I'm borrowing this. |
| Yuugen: |
Raimon-dono... |
|
*Varoom*
*BARU BARU* |
| Raimon: |
Bye-bye
|
| Kotobuki: |
No doubt I... |
|
*pant pant pant pant* |
| Kotobuki: |
Look quite awkward to Shouka...
Probably... |
|
But |
|
*pant pant pant* |
|
By doing things by one's own ability
It's bound to be so much more meaningful |
| Kotobuki: |
Ra...... |
| Raimon: |
Okay. Get on. |
|
*VROOM...* |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa!? |
| Yuugen: |
Raimon Shiragi--
... you're wanted that badly |
| Kotobuki: |
Ugyaaaa~~ |
| Yuugen: |
Then what is it that you say you want to do
|
| Raimon: |
You didn't have to worry. I would've been back soon. |
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
| Raimon: |
The clue is inside that building
In other words the auctions always take place there. |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon, I... |
| Raimon: |
Hold this. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh?
Eh!?
Wait
Stop |
|
*Do DOU* |
| Kotobuki: |
Waa |
|
*DOUN* |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh~~ |
|
*BAKI* |
| Raimon: |
Pardon the intrusion |
| Kotobuki: |
HOT
|
|
*silence* |
| Raimon: |
We're here. |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah |
| Raimon: |
We sorta made a mess though. |
| Kotobuki: |
Idiot!! |
|
*SOCK* |
|
*clenched fist* |
|
*head* |
| Kotobuki: |
What're you going to do if you get killed!!
Why're you always so reckless.
Not knowing what others feel; getting them caught up...... |
|
Saying I'm annoyed
Is a lie
I was just scared.
What would I do
If he really was just teasing me for the hell of it.
|
|
I was scared.
Acting like I didn't notice. Putting up a tough front. saying that it was "irritating"...
But
I've got to get control
And try
If I stay like this, I'll collapse from "Raimon sickness" |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki
You're so cute |
|
*DOTA~N* |
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
|
*whap whap whap whap* |
| Kotobuki: |
......!!
......y
Why~~? |
| Raimon: |
You shouldn't cry like that.
It makes me want to tease you more. |
| Kotobuki: |
What's that supposed to mean--...
|
| Raimon: |
I don't care if you hate me or what have you.
Lying
Getting you caught up in things.
I won't let you forget
Sorry, but
I'm never going to let you escape.
I told you |
|
How about a little bet.
Next time, I'll catch you, without fail.
And if you lose--... |
| Raimon: |
That I'll make you mine
|
| Kotobuki: |
I-
I thought you'd forgotten about that!! |
| Raimon: |
I never said "I forgot" about it. |
| Kotobuki: |
Then...
The thing you wanted to do wasn't to win that bet...
was it... |
| Raimon: |
Of course.
It's obvious isn't it. |
|
And for that you quit an elite career!? |
| Raimon: |
My dream's to forget about being thief and militia and to always be together |
|
*sinks* |
| Kotobuki: |
I-I feel like such an idiot~ |
| Raimon: |
That's okay though
isn't it? |
|
*HUM* *click* |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon
Behind you... |
|
*HUM* *click*
|
|
*HUM* |
| Kotobuki: |
Ah
This. This is the thing that guy was carrying.
It's short-circuited.
This is the clue?
Everyone's wearing the same clothes.
Are they military? |
| Raimon: |
I don't think so. Those are images of people from before the 22nd century. |
| Kotobuki: |
Hmm...!?
What~
It was all a mistake? |
| Raimon: |
Even so, it's still very valuable.
A lot of information went up in flames in the war. |
| Kotobuki: |
I wonder if there really is a "Tsubasa" |
| Raimon: |
It doesn't bother me if there wasn't one.
Not everything has to be black and white.
Searching for "Tsubasa"
Dreaming
Supporting each other
|
| Raimon: |
You need that sort of thing
In any era.
People are weak. |
| Kotobuki: |
.........yeah. |
|
Me
Too |
|
*BOOM*
*SWAY* |
| Kotobuki: |
!?
Sho-
Shouka...!? |
| Gang Member 1: |
I told you you shouldn't do that. It'll fall apart even more |
| Shouka: |
Damn you~
Raimon~ |
| Raimon: |
Of course, getting too caught up in things like that is a problem too. |
| Kotobuki: |
Aah--
There's a hole in the wall!!
Was that you
Raimon!! |
| Raimon: |
The exit's been sealed and Shouka's here too
|
| Raimon: |
I guess we'll have to jump |
| Kotobuki: |
What're you saying
We're high up
We're really high up here
I- I can't look. |
| Raimon: |
It's okay.
I've got good luck. |
| Kotobuki: |
Aaah
What's that supposed to mean. |
| Shouka: |
Aa |
|
*crumble crumble* |
| Shouka: |
I found you Raimon!! |
| Raimon: |
Let's go |
| Kotobuki: |
Waah
Are you crazy!? Try thinking about things more first before acting!!
We're gonna die-- |
|
He's crazy; this guy |
| Shouka: |
Take this!!
Shouka's Special Explosive!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Ugyaaa!! |
|
Why am I getting mixed up with this kind of guy
Why
Why!? |
|
*BOOM*
|
|
I see
Ahh |
| Kotobuki: |
Oww--!! |
|
*gasp*
*cough cough* |
| Kotobuki: |
Damn you.
You knew there was a lake below didn't you!? |
| Raimon: |
Who knows?
Take a wild guess. |
|
I got caught
By this guy's plan
|
| Kotobuki: |
~~~~~~~~ |
|
Just you watch
For sure |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammitall!! |
|
*splash splash* |
| Raimon: |
Ahahahaha |
|
I'm going to steal everything and never let go |
|
WHAM |
| Owner: |
Hiii!! |
| Raimon: |
After making Kotobuki slave away like that
You're not expecting her to have worked for free are you? |
| Owner: |
R-right
W-we could hire her back again too...
Please just don't hit me anymore |
| Girl: |
Devil |
| Raimon: |
Who Would hand Kotobuki over to the likes of you. |
| Owner: |
Okay |
| Yuugen: |
Raimon
Do you really have no intent to return to the militia?
|
| Raimon: |
Isn't there a saying from a long time ago?
If you interfere in a person's love life,
You'll die.
You'll get kicked by a horse. |
| Guard: |
Why is it that when he says it, it doesn't sound like a joke. |
| Yuugen: |
Oh boy.
It must be hard
For the woman he's fallen for. |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki
The owner asked me to give you your pay.
He said he forgot. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh!?
Uwah~
I'm so happy.
It's my first paycheque!
Yay
Alright
We'll use this as a starting point and keep at it.
Time to job hunt |
| Raimon: |
In that case,
I'm off. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh...
Eh. Hang on. Raimon!?
|
| Kotobuki: |
Ra...!! |
|
*stops* |
| Raimon: |
I'm kidding~
Did you really think I'd leave? |
| Kotobuki: |
......
This guy--!!
Dammit
Why don't you take off wherever you want!! |
| Raimon: |
You really are cute aren't you Kotobuki |
| Kotobuki: |
Shut up-
Idiot- |
| Banner: |
Shouka around that time |
| Shouka: |
Where!?
Where's the clue!! |
| Gang Member 1: |
Let's go home already-- |
