| Man 1: |
Did you find her? |
|
*Za...n* |
| Man 2: |
No, there's nothing. For one thing, falling into this sort of contaminated sea...
Is a one way ticket to the afterlife.
That girl Kotobuki |
|
*Zaa* |
| Yan: |
However,
To think that the place where "Tsubasa" came down
Was directly underneath the "Teki's" base.
I had no idea. |
| Touya: |
*fu fu*
Some time ago, we received an unconfirmed report of a magnetic field emanating from beneath that base. From what we could gather, it was thought to perhaps be "Tsubasa."
|
| Touya: |
Naturally, we don't expect "Tsubasa" itself to be there.
Although we're hoping to find some clues as to its whereabouts.
|
| Yan: |
......and?
In order to dig beneath the base, you went through that sort of circuitous route? |
| Touya: |
*fu fu*
It couldn't be helped. To the world "Tsubasa" is a much more important matter.
If you had "Tsubasa" you wouldn't have to get involved in costly wars, but instead could wish for the world to settle down.
One's own country aside, having another country obtain "Tsubasa" is a serious threat.
With this, if we were to openly search for "Tsubasa," neighboring countries would declare war on us claiming such reasons as international terrorist activities. |
| Yan: |
...It seems like quite a serious problem.
But you're military. Is it a good idea to rely so heavily on something like that? |
| Touya: |
If it's for the purpose of our country being able to realise supreme power and prosperity,
We'll use whatever we can.
|
| Yan: |
You talk about it as though it were a military weapon.
Wasn't "Tsubasa"
Something that had more of a dream |
| Touya: |
*fu fu*
Yan Mizuchi, you think too small to resist the Militia. |
| Yan: |
...... |
| Touya: |
Lock him up in his room. |
| Yan: |
Aa.
Hang on a minute. I need to apologise to him (Raimon).
Kotobuki and I ended up kissing once.
Sorry about that... |
|
*DON*
|
| Touya: |
Now now.
Raimon's saying you're being annoying.
If you don't hurry and go, next time he'll hit you. |
|
*gatchi* |
| Yan: |
Ou--...
Scary... |
| Author's Note: |
ambidextrous |
|
*BATAN* |
| Raimon: |
Touya
You're going to execute Yan eventually anyways so
Won't you do it tomorrow at high noon?
Capture the remaining "Teki" survivors until then and have them witness the execution. After that execute them as well.
If you're going to dig up that base, this would be the clearest route. |
| Touya: |
Raimon......
You're coming back then.
To the Militia. |
|
*SA...* |
| Touya: |
Aa, sorry. I couldn't help wanting to touch you
You hate having your head touched.
|
| Touya: |
When did you realise it?
That the Militia were operating (searching) for "Tsubasa?" |
| Raimon: |
...When I met you. |
| Touya: |
I'm really pleased.
We'll be able to seek "Tsubasa" together just like before.
It's too bad about Kotobuki but... |
| Raimon: |
It doesn't
Really matter
Anymore |
| Aide: |
...something about him (his aura) seems to have changed.... |
| Touya: |
That's the true Raimon. |
| Touya: |
He instills emptiness and dread in others.
For all that he's difficult to manage but... he came back.
Kotobuki's dying was useful for that much. Mind you she was never suited to being his partner.
|
| Touya: |
Considering she had nothing to offer... |
|
*GO PO...* (sinks down into the depths) |
|
I can't
Do anything......
It feels like I'm getting sucked further and further down
No. I don't want to die yet
I thought that "I wanted to become someone who could protect others"
And I'd also hit Raimon
While he'd laughed about it, I'd hate if he thought
That I'd done that because I hated him... |
|
What is your wish? |
|
Eh......? |
|
What...... is your wish? |
|
My... wish?
|
|
I want
To see Raimon...
[But... I might end up hurting him again] |
|
Why? |
|
[Because...
Ever since I realised that Raimon was a man
I can't seem to stay calm at all
It wasn't like that at all before
Is this a good thing? Or a bad thing?]
|
| (Touya:) |
(Wishing for change means destroying the current peace you have now) |
|
That's alright
Your feelings are evolving
It's just that your feelings for someone very important to you is evolving |
| Kotobuki: |
Evolving......? |
|
Yes
Rather than it breaking
It has just grown
See
|
|
Like this |
| Kotobuki: |
It's shining
In this heavily contaminated sea
Incredible...
Beautiful... |
|
This is the form of evolution
Now, your wish shall be fulfilled
What comes after
Is up to you...
|
|
*JAKIN* (cocks gun) |
| Guard: |
An ideal day for an execution.
The weather's beautiful. |
|
*ZAAAN* (surf) |
| Teki Member: |
Yan!!
Dammit! You said that you wouldn't kill Yan if we surrendered!!
YAN!! |
| Yan: |
Aa, I really look bad
...Sorry. Getting you guys caught too
It's so stupid that I'm annoyed at myself |
| Guard: |
Don't worry
I'll have those guys follow you soon after. |
| Yan: |
Aa
Stop that
You'll make me even more depressed
I'm a really lousy guy getting my followers caught up in things and having a girl end up dying |
|
*ZAAN*
|
| Yan: |
*PU* (spits out cigarette) |
| Yan: |
Hurry up and finish off
This sort of guy |
|
*ZAA...
ZABAAN* |
| Yan: |
!? |
| Guard: |
Ack
A high wave...
I'm soaked in sea water... |
| Yan: |
Hey, pull yourself together will
you......... |
| Author's Note 3: |
*****
|
| Kotobuki: |
Unh......... |
| Yan: |
............ |
| Guard: |
*chokes*!?
She's alive!? |
| Kotobuki: |
Yan...?
What're you doing? Standing like that
It looks almost like you're about to be
Executed...... |
|
*SUKU* (stands) |
| Kotobuki: |
You militia... |
|
Yikes!?
|
| Kotobuki: |
What're you doing trying to execute people--!! |
|
*ZAPPAN* |
| Guards: |
WA--
Stay back!! |
|
*pan pan* |
| Touya: |
Raimon |
|
*pan* |
| Touya: |
So this is where you were. The execution should just about be over |
| Raimon: |
...in that case, get everyone together in the base.
We need to discuss what's to be done from here on right? |
| Touya(?): |
Understood
|
| Kotobuki: |
That was close......
Are you alright Yan?
*HA- Ha-* (pants) |
| Yan: |
That's my line.
Are you alright?
You don't feel sick? |
| Teki: |
Yan-
Thank God
Yan- |
| Yan: |
Just what sort of trick did you use to save yourself? |
| Teki: |
Yan- |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh?
I- I don't really know but...
That's right, I think I heard a voice |
| Yan: |
Whoa
The afterlife? |
|
That's right
In a really beautiful place
Asking "What is your wish..." |
| Kotobuki: |
What'about Raimon...
Where's Raimon!? |
| Teki: |
Yan- |
| Yan: |
Aa
He went back to the militia |
| Kotobuki: |
Huh!?
By "went back"...
You mean Touya forced him to go back!? |
| Yan: |
Who knows...
It felt more like of his own free will but...
|
| Arrow: |
Yan- |
| Teki: |
Yan-- |
| Yan: |
He seemed to have changed
And was really frightening in a way... |
| Kotobuki: |
Oh no...
That Raimon would go back to the militia of his own will...... |
|
Just what happened while I wasn't here!? |
|
*Pan Pan* (slaps herself) |
| Yan: |
! |
| Author note: |
Sakura from Zero2 |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammit
Quit thinking endlessly about things and remember what's important... |
|
I
Wanted to become someone who could protect Raimon right!? |
| Kotobuki: |
I've got to go save Raimon......... |
| Yan: |
Do you have a plan? |
| Arrow: |
Finally let go |
| Kotobuki: |
Urk
Well no, but...
But I'm definitely going to save him. |
| Yan: |
How?
|
|
The power of love!! |
| Kotobuki: |
There's absolutely no way I could say that... |
| Yan: |
? |
|
It's possible that he's still hurt about things |
| Kotobuki: |
I've got to see him, now |
|
I have to tell him I like him |
| Yan: |
We'll help |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh? |
| Yan: |
You saved my life afterall
Not to mention everyone said it was hopeless and then you pop up
It seems like anything's possible for you |
| Kotobuki: |
............? |
|
*DON* (BOOM)
|
| Koyobuki: |
Sheesh
Talk about surprising
Another explosion!? |
| Yan: |
But it's not in town,
The only thing out that way is... |
| Teki: |
Our base!! |
| Yan: |
Oy oy |
| Guard: |
The cliff collapsed because of the explosion.
Major, the way out's been blocked. |
| Touya: |
Sheesh...
What a thing to have happen all of a sudden...
Raimon, you weren't hurt were you?
|
|
*GACHI* (cocks gun) |
| Raimon: |
Don't move |
| Touya: |
Raimon...... |
| Raimon: |
Just now was a warm-up
In another five minutes, tens of explosives set on the cliff will explode
The cliff here is is quite weak and will collapse in an instant |
| Touya: |
This was... you're doing? |
| Raimon: |
Dying alone would be no fun so
The base and "Tsubasa" and Touya and everyone
Can all sink to the bottom of the sea with me |
| Guard: |
Die...!?
It's not a bluff!? |
| Guard: |
No
I'd heard awhile back
|
| Guard: |
That Shiragi's tried committing suicide twice already
Once he'd tried with a hand grenade and a number of people were caught in the blast and were seriously injured
Shiragi was unconscious in serious condition and his motive was apparently "because it's boring" |
|
*goku* (gulp) |
| Touya: |
Why're you doing this sort of thing again......... |
| Raimon: |
If Kotobuki's no longer here, there's no point in living
any longer |
| Touya: |
Kotobuki!?
There's no reason for you to die over a little girl like that.
That sort of...
Powerless child |
| Raimon: |
...I told you remember...?
That would come from here on
She was supposed to grow from here on
Possibilities were always growing on her back
|
|
Because Kotobuki was there, for the first time
I finally had a reason to live... |
|
*GO* |
| Aide: |
Major!! |
| Touya: |
It's all over, Touya |
|
*DA* (runs attacking) |
| Aide: |
Why
YOU!! |
| Raimon: |
...I thought I told you not to move |
| Aide: |
.........
|
|
It's no use anymore
There's no way to stop him |
| Raimon: |
Touya, you tell them too
What's wrong?
You're not afraid are you? |
| Touya: |
...I'm just sad that you'd betray me |
| Raimon: |
Ha
...How foolish |
|
This is the true Raimon
Once he's out of control, no one can stop him
There's nothing that can stop him...... |
|
*GARA* (door opens) |
|
*PYU* (swings gun around) |
| Kotobuki: |
Oww
|
| Kotobuki: |
.........
Raimon...
Found you... |
| Touya: |
Kotobuki......? |
| Kotobuki: |
!?
Raimon
You're bleeding... |
| Aide: |
D...
Don't. It's danger...... |
| Kotobuki: |
Just what...... have you been doing?
|
| Touya: |
.........! |
| Kotobuki: |
I'm sorry
Being so clumsy...
Were you......
......worried? |
| Raimon: |
......yeah |
|
*DOKIN* |
|
I like him alot
I like Raimon
I really like him
What can I do, I want to tell him, yet even if I said it a hundred times it still wouldn't be enough
Unlike before
Just being with him
Can't tell him
How much
I like him
|
|
It's just that your feelings have evolved
It's just that I hadn't realised those feelings
That I've come
To like him much much more than before |
| Raimon: |
......It's the first
Kiss from Kotobuki
Right |
|
*Hyoi* (lifts Kotobuki) |
| Kotobuki: |
Wah
Wait. Scary
Don't spin |
|
*guru guru* (turns) |
| Raimon: |
Ahahah
|
|
He hated having his head touched that much |
| Touya: |
But he doesn't mind if it's Kotobuki... |
| Raimon: |
It's Kotobuki
It really is Kotobuki
You were saved... |
|
I'm glad I realised that he was a man
Afterall
It feels so good now |
| Raimon: |
Aa
That's right
We have to get away before things explode
I set explosives on the cliff |
| Kotobuki: |
Huh?
|
| Kotobuki: |
Saying something all of a sudden like that
We've got to get out of...
Aa. Yan and them are outside |
| Touya: |
.........
Have you quit wanting to die Raimon |
| Raimon: |
Hm?
What're you talking about?
Now then |
| Arrow: |
Touya |
| Raimon: |
Let's get out of here |
|
*PAKO* |
| Militia: |
WHA-T!? |
| Yan: |
*fu* (exhales)
Kotobuki climbed up and through that window but
I wonder if she's okay |
| Kotobuki: |
Yan! |
| Yan: |
Hey
Speak of the devil... |
| Kotobuki: |
Run!!
The cliff's going to collapse
|
| Yan: |
Huh? |
| Author note: |
Underling |
| Kotobuki: |
It's gonna blow!!
Hurry- |
|
*GO-O-N*
*DO DO DO DO*
*pant pant pant* |
| Kotobuki: |
Whoa--... |
| Yan: |
Aaa...
It's sinking...
Adieu base*
*"Bye base" may be better or something similar. The Japanese says "Adieu ajitto" which gives a touch of alliteration |
| Kotobuki: |
I wonder if... Touya and the other guys are alright
Everyone scattered to get away |
| Raimon: |
They're probably alright |
| Yan: |
Hm?
What's that?
Something's shining.
|
| Kotobuki: |
That...
I saw that in the sea...!! |
| Yan: |
Sea anemones......... maybe? |
| Raimon: |
.........
Yeah
Kotobuki, take a good look
The sea water that goes over that is clear |
| Kotobuki: |
...You're right |
| Raimon: |
I see, so that's why you weren't done in by the contamination
That's cleaning the sea water that's been polluted by poisons
That sort of thing never existed before but
It must've evolved......
|
| Raimon: |
Within the polluted sea
It grew little by little... |
|
See, like this |
| Raimon: |
It's okay
For you to grow
slowly like this too |
|
Could it be |
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
|
That Raimon
Understood everything I'd felt... |
| Yan: |
Hey
Then what do you think that is? |
| ?: |
Hm?
|
|
*PAA* (flash) |
| ?: |
!? |
| ?: |
...Your wish |
| Kotobuki: |
This voice...!! |
| ?: |
Was realised
That's great
That's great... |
| Yan: |
...What
Was that just now... |
| Kotobuki: |
.........
|
| Kotobuki: |
That wasn't... |
|
What is your wish? |
| Kotobuki: |
"Tsubasa"...!? |
| Yan: |
What!? |
| KOtobuki: |
I-
I don't know but
Maybe I'm wrong but
It asked for my wish
............ |
| Raimon: |
...It may well have been that |
| Yan: |
You're kidding right-!?
I want to see it again-!! |
| ?: |
It's flown off somewhere |
|
What
Is your wish? |
| Touya: |
...Sheesh
The "Teki" have all escaped and "Tsubasa" is at the bottom of the sea
And Raimon's whereabouts are completely unknown again...
Just how am I to report this to the Colonel...
|
| Aide: |
We should go after them right away... |
| Touya: |
No, it's alright
We'll back off for the time being this time
Kotobuki's won this round |
|
It's possible that Kotobuki
Will really change from here on |
| Touya: |
Afterall, she can stop that Raimon...
But, be prepared for the next time we meet
My private diary will wait until then too |
| Aide: |
What is this private diary |
| Yan: |
In other words
Ultimately, "Tsubasa" saved your life right? If you tell Touya, he'd be really pleased
You might get used in human experiments... |
| Kotobuki: |
No thank you. I'd rather cut all ties...
But... it was really beautiful wasn't it
I wonder if that's what it'd feel like if you gave dreams shape
|
| Yan: |
...It's great that
Someone like you lives in this day and age. |
| Kotobuki: |
Huh? |
| Yan: |
Nothing
I was just thinking that I need to learn more about this world.
In order to continue with the resistance
It seems like there's a lot I don't know about this world. |
| Teki: |
Yan! |
| Yan: |
Hey
Well I'm off. Hope all goes well with you and your boyfriend
You never know what he'll do when you're not around.
He almost killed me y'know. |
| Raimon: |
I heard that |
| Kotobuki: |
Ehh!? |
| Yan: |
It'd be great if our paths cross again
Later
|
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon. Did you...
Almost kill him? |
| Raimon: |
Yeah. But he kissed you right? |
|
He knows-!! |
| Kotobuki: |
S- sorry. I'm sorry
But it wasn't intentional
I know it sounds like an excuse but
Um... |
| Raimon: |
If you kiss me, I'll forgive you. |
|
*GON*
*JI-N* (throb) |
| Kotobuki: |
You never let up do you |
| Raimon: |
*kusu kusu* (chuckles)
...It'll be awhile yet before making her a "woman" |
|
Vast |
|
*pita* (stops) |
|
A vast world
The country, militia, and "Tsubasa"
|
|
And Raimon
The other side is so much greater than myself it feels like I'll be swallowed up but |
|
*guri to te te te te* (turns and trots back) |
|
But |
|
*yank* |
|
Slowly |
| Kotobuki: |
......Once
Every day |
|
Slowly, I'll evolve |
| Raimon: |
But I like seeing reluctant Kotobuki too |
| Kotobuki: |
...You really are perverse
|
|
The Omake 3: |
| Kotobuki: |
There are a lot of people who want to see your collection of Raimon photos, Touya. |
| Touya: |
Hm?
Soft!!
Soft aren't they.
That's my treasure...
It's like a love crystal
Putting it like that's like confessing my love isn't it Raimon. |
| Kotobuki: |
You're... never going to be able to marry.
Don't come nearer. |
| Yan: |
I don't care if I don't see it though. |
| Raimon: |
This guy has a wife and a kid.
And is a devoted husband |
| Yan & Kotobuki: |
You're kidding---
The truth just revealed |
| Touya: |
What?
Am I not allowed to be? |
