The Omake 4 |
| Yan: |
"When will we get Kotobuki and Raimon's bedscene?" "Tumble her Raimon" we've gotten a number of steamy letters. So, how about it you two? |
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
| Raimon: |
Typically, when it comes to that sort of thing, I'd think about Kotobuki's feelings before acting and I want it to be something special.
Kotobuki's the one who'll end up getting hurt if we make love just out of lust. Not to mention that's not the only thing to relationships... but
When the time comes, I'll do it. |
| Editorial: |
So you'll do it afterall
|
|
*stare* |
| Kotobuki: |
Enough. Don't say anything more you...
Don't look at me |
| Yan: |
Well, we'll leave it as something to look forward to from here on then |
| Raimon: |
If there's really a "from here on........." y'know
That's the main thing
|
|
*sigh* |
| Kotobuki & Yan: |
Foreboding!!
not to mention with a sigh mixed in...
|
|
[Let's do our best
Let's do our best and find a way to make our mark in life
okay...... |
|
*crash* |
| Name: |
You sneaking thief
Sheesh what a brat!! You're one of the "nameless ones" aren't you!!
You "nameless ones" are so worthless!!

[End of the 22nd century
Earth
There were a number of wars and the earth withered and fell into ruin. People struggled in poverty
And even now continue to live on the earth out of sheer willpower
I'm Kotobuki. I used to steal in order to support myself. |
| Kotobuki: |
Today's weather is also looking good
|
|
Some time ago, I washed my hands of all that
and wandered from town to town seeking work but |
|
*trot* |
| Kid: |
Aa |
| Girl: |
Good morning Kotobuki |
|
But this time |
| Kotobuki: |
Morning--
Let's all work hard today |
|
'Kay-- |
|
I've managed to get work at an orphanage
Here at an orphanage that digs into the side of a mountain.
I mostly do menial jobs |
| Director: |
Ms Kotobuki |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa
Good morning, Director
|
| Director: |
I'm really sorry...
Making you work so hard while paying so little... |
| Kotobuki: |
Not at all
It's my calling
Now then,
Time to do the laundry
Do the cleaning
Get the water
And do the cooking |
| Director: |
It almost feels like she'll steal away my energy...
She' got a lot of energy... |
| Kid: |
I'll help too |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa
Come to think of it
Hey. Have you seen Raimon? |
| Kid: |
Onii-chan?
If you're looking for onii-chan, he was cleaning the lounge.
|
| Kotobuki: |
That Raimon; cleaning!?
Raimon!! |
| Raimon: |
Morning |
| Kotobuki: |
Wh-wh-wh-what happened
What're you doing!?
Aa. He's even got a broom!! |
| Raimon: |
I was cleaning |
| Kotobuki: |
W-why
***** |
| Raimon: |
I wanted to help you out. |
|
This is my companion, Raimon Shiragi
Raimon's former militia. On top of that, he was the young captain of a guard troop.
But he up and quit that just to be with me.
|
| Raimon: |
Since then, we've been travel companions. |
| Kid: |
Kotobuki!
We'll take care of the laundry |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh?
Hey! |
| Kid: |
We mustn't interfere with the lovers chat afterall. |
| Raimon: |
They know. |
| Kotobuki: |
......Raimon
You don't have to force yourself and help out you know...? |
|
Before, when working as a servant, Raimon never did any work.
But for some reason,
This time he seems very different. |
| Kotobuki: |
It seems there's an opening at an orphanage
I really want to do it but |
| Raimon: |
That's fine.
|
| Raimon: |
Maybe I'll work too. |
|
It's the first time I've seen him like this.
For one thing, he's the type that's never seen others as human beings.
Surprisingly, he deals with the kids in pretty normal manner.
He definitely doesn't seem to be the type to like kids. |
| Raimon: |
You don't have to worry about me.
You've found your dream job afterall. |
| Kotobuki: |
......Yeah. |
|
Finding a career is my dream.
Rather than as a thief, I'd always wanted to work a proper job, earn a wage and become responsible***
Doing that I'd get a little more confidence. |
| Raimon: |
Hang in there
|
| Kotobuki: |
I felt I'd be able to become a little more ****** |
| Raimon: |
*mutters*
Although I really don't like that that guy's got a residence here in this town. |
| Kotobuki: |
Hm? |
| Raimon: |
Nothing |
| Boy: |
Aa
Kotobuki
Onii-chan
What can we do
Help! |
| Kotobuki: |
What happened? |
| Girl: |
We went to town to buy groceries and then
The shop people...... |
| Man: |
C'mon
If you don't like it, try and take it back. |
| Kotobuki: |
Hey!!
Just what do you think you're doing (bullying a kid)!! |
| Boy: |
Kotobuki...... |
|
*DA* (runs over) |
| Man: |
What're you
A supporter of the "Nameless Ones"? |
|
*twitch* |
| Kid: |
Mom, what's a "nameless one"?
|
| Mother: |
They're those who were abandoned by their parents, had their parents die or have no relatives.
Those people can't get family names
If you don't have a family name, you can't be registered as a citizen. That's why they're called "Nameless Ones". |
| Man: |
I see. You're the girl who's started working at that nest of "Nameless Ones" |
| Kotobuki: |
......It's an orphanage. |
| Man: |
You're an odd one.
Sorry.
Prices have gone up right now.
You can't even buy a lump of sugar with this. |
| Kotobuki: |
I see. In that case, return our money and we'll leave. |
| Man: |
Idiot.
This is financial support from the Militia right?
It comes from the taxes we pay them right?
So it was our money to start with.
"Nameless Ones" should go eat some tree stumps or something.
Ahahaha
|
| Man: |
If you want it
Come and get it! |
|
*Step* |
| Man: |
GAH! |
|
*Leaps*
*Snatch* |
| Kotobuki: |
I got it! |
|
*Lands* |
| Man: |
Why you~~!!
What do you think you're doing. Give it back!! |
| Kotobuki: |
You're the one who said to come get it...... |
| Man: |
Mouthy aren't you......
|
| Kotobuki: |
! |
| Man: |
I'll kill you scum |
| Boy: |
Kotobuki!! |
|
*GUKI* |
| Man: |
Augh~~! |
| Aside: |
Quite painful |
| Man: |
...... |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon
You took your time coming here didn't you. |
| Raimon: |
Try not to be so violent.
Towards such a cute girl like this. |
| Man: |
Wh.why you...!! |
| Raimon: |
Let's refrain from violence
And discuss matters
|
|
*KICK*
*CRASH!* |
| Raimon: |
See?
Violence doesn't get you anything, right? |
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
| Author's Note: |
And from the storm of despair... then, with bad timing, I got a call from my editor but I was unable to hold a proper conversation.
Takaya: This can't be
This, it's too cruel; it's too sad...
*sniff*
Cry~~~
Arrow: Idiot
Editor: What happened
Lots of tissues everywhere from her crying.
*****
|
| Kotobuki: |
You didn't have to go that far... |
| Raimon: |
My body's been feeling a little stiff? rusty? lately. ***** |
| Kotobuki: |
...... |
| Raimon: |
......... |
| Guard: |
Hey! What was that commotion just now!! |
| Kotobuki: |
!?
*Urk*
There's a military unit even in a place like this--!!
Raimon, let's go! |
| Raimon: |
Why? |
| Kotobuki: |
Idiot!
The militia haven't given up on you yet.
They've tried to reclaim you a number of times up to now. |
|
The Militia still want Raimon's genious.
I don't know just how much of a genious he is but, |
| Raimon: |
Thanks for worrying about me.
No problem
No problem
|
| Guard: |
This guy's out cold. Are you the one who hit him!? |
| Raimon: |
Spare me the false accusations. I absolutely did not hit the guy.
I just kicked him. |
| Kotobuki: |
This idiot. |
| Guard: |
Why you...... |
|
*SU* |
| Raimon: |
Nice gun.
It's not mine.
It's his. |
|
*Tap* |
| Raimon: |
It's a remodelled Corpul Corp. |
| Guard: |
Wha.........
|
| Raimon: |
Let's go |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh!?
But |
| Raimon: |
He said we could be excused. |
|
*Squeeze* |
|
"Nameless Ones" |
| Kotobuki: |
.........Let's go home |
| Ross: |
What's with all the excitement |
| Guard: |
Wll, well; Aa
Actually...... |
| Ross: |
Huh......
|
| Raimon: |
Well, in any case, have that man clam down. |
| Shop Guy: |
Hey. Pull yourself together. |
| Arrow: |
That man |
| Guard: |
Ah...
Yes |
| Ross: |
...Oh dear. |
|
*kachi* (lights lighter) |
| Ross: |
That he could tell that much
It couldn't be that kid, could it |
| Director: |
...I see
Actually,
That sort of bullying always happens.
Naturally the orphanage is supported by the Militia's tax money but
It's not like we receive such a handsome sum either.
|
| Director: |
We're very fortunate here in that we also receive aid from Mr. Ross.
We're still able to eat properly but... |
| Kotobuki: |
Ross?
Who? |
| Director: |
A capitalist who's supported us from a long time ago.
They have a large estate here in this town but,
But... I'm very concerned...
It seems there've been a number of incident where orphanages have been destroyed recently. |
| Kotobuki: |
What's that
Why!? |
| Director: |
This is again, with a different meaning...
Harassment against the nation or the Militia...
Perhaps something like the Blue Rose.
(Here's the article) |
| Kotobuki: |
Even so...
Why orphanages. |
| Director: |
True...
Very true...
|
| Director: |
Why do these kids have to live in this sort of environment.........?
They can't get a family name
They aren't recognised as citizens
And because of that, they can't even go to school.
There are even kids who can't enter an orphanage...... |
| Raimon: |
Hey.
Let me see that article. |
| Director: |
Ah... yes.
Did you want to read it too Miss Kotobuki? |
| Kotobuki: |
.........
Sorry.
I can't read.
(I can read and write simple words though).
Actually
I'm also a "Nameless One".
|
| Director: |
......My. |
|
*HUG* |
| Director: |
MY......!! |
| Kotobuki: |
You're really incredible, Director. Trying to proctect "Nameless Ones" all by yourself.
So let's do our best.
WE'll absolutely do our best
To keep on living! |
| Director: |
Yes, you're right...
You're absolutely right... |
| Raimon: |
But
This is quite the incident.
Up until now, there've been three places that have been blown to pieces and a few deaths have resulted.
|
| Kotobuki: |
And what're the Militia doing to stop these guys who go so far.
Is that Touya actually doing his job!? |
| Raimon: |
Touya?
Who's that? |
| Kotobuki: |
Your former superior who goes around carrying your photos and even made a diary of them. Major Touya Ingram, the military officer. |
| Arrow: |
Last time, she was used by Touya**** |
| Raimon: |
Do you perhaps hate the guy?
There's a lot of resentment in there. |
| Kotobuki: |
I despise that guy!! |
|
*Achoo!* |
| Phia: |
DId you catch a cold Major? |
| Touya: |
I wonder if Raimon's talking about me.
Rather than that, the matter with the orphanages. How're counter measures going? |
| Phia: |
Things are proceeding satisfactorily. |
| Touya: |
I see.
Well, ***
|
| Phia: |
Understood. |
| Kotobuki: |
But y'know. |
|
*clatter clatter* |
| Kotobuki: |
There're too many sorts of problems. |
| Raimon: |
Really? |
| Kotobuki: |
You have some too right?
The guard from this afternoon, hopefully he didn't recognise who you are but... |
| Raimon: |
What would you've done if he did?
I think more guards wouldn't recognise me in the militia that those that would. |
| Kotobuki: |
Run away
I hate my only being able to do that. |
| Raimon: |
But if we go any further north, we'll reach the border.
The border's a bit of a problem.
|
| Raimon: |
Afterall, there's a bomb planted in my body and the instant I leave the nation, it's set to go off. *** |
| Kotobuki: |
Never mind |
|
*sparkle* |
| Raimon: |
Well, there are a number of reasons.
A computer watches over the border year round without rest and you also need a pass.
In any case, neigboring Hanhini is a porr country and while Douvni has money
It's likewise a military regime and has poor relations with Niels so, entering wouldn't be possible anyways.
|
| Kotobuki: |
War!? |
| Raimon: |
It's alright. It won't start that easily. |
| Kotobuki: |
......... |
|
Raimon really does know about everything
|
|
[Naturally Raimon was in the militia and can read.
The militia is apparently an elite profession that only the best among the upper class can enter.] |
| Kotobuki: |
...Raimon, did you know I was one of the "Nameless Ones"?
What did you think of the "Nameless Ones"? |
| Raimon: |
...In my case, I don't care if you're a "Nameless One" or "Militia"
It doesn't matter who's collapsed or died by the roadside
Just,
I won't do anything that makes Kotobuki unhappy. |
| Kotobuki: |
......... |
| Raimon: |
Would you accept it if I put it this way?
|
| Raimon: |
It can't be helped.
My world revolves around Kotobuki |
| Kotobuki: |
.........
That's very like you.
Thank you......
|
| Raimon: |
You no longer run away when I kiss you.
Which
Means |
|
*stare* |
| Kotobuki: |
? |
| Raimon: |
*****
A~h |
| Kotobuki: |
No---
Absolutely not--!!
***Why're you carrying me-- |
| Raimon: |
It's alright
I'll be gentle
Whew, I think I really bore that well (kept in control)*****
No need to fear
No need to fear
Whoa~ whoa~ |
| Kotobuki: |
What am I, an animal |
|
*SMASH*
|
|
What was that? |
|
*bata bata* |
| Raimon: |
Damn |
| Kotobuki: |
! |
| Boy: |
Take that!! |
| Kotobuki: |
!? |
| Boy: |
Get out "Nameless Ones"!!
Next time it won't just be a rock!! |
| Director: |
Such a......
Dreadful thing......... |
| Kids: |
......... |
| Kotobuki: |
.........!!
|
| Kotobuki: |
Wait you bastard!!
I'm gonna ****!! |
| Director: |
Ms Kotobuki... |
|
[There's something I've always wondered about
Just why are the "Nameless Ones" hated to this extent
Because they were born to be hated?
Because they were born to be unwanted in the first place?]
|
|
[Is it because "Nameless Ones" are unwanted?] |
| Raimon: |
Did you lose him? |
| Kotobuki: |
Dammit!!
I'm going to give the guard a piece of my mind!!
But...
At this rate that orphanage will also be destroyed......
Aa, I know, Ross!! |
| Raimon: |
Don't bother, he won't listen anyways. |
| Kotobuki: |
That person's not part of the militia yet gives financial aid right?
If asked, he might be able to help out somehow.
Let's go see him! |
| Raimon: |
Hang on a minute
Kotobuki-chan... |
|
*zoom* |
| Arrow: |
Kotobuki
|
| Kotobuki: |
Huge...
Could it be...
this house? |
|
Shees. I don't know which is the right house...
But this is the largest home in the area... |
|
*beep beep beep*
|
|
*PO----N*
*creak* |
| Kotobuki: |
!?
On it's own... |
|
*Skree--*
... |
| Boy: |
Good evening |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa...
Hi...
Um... |
| Boy: |
Did you want to see (have business with) Ross?
|
| Kotobuki: |
Aa
Yeah I do!! |
| Boy: |
I'll take you
This way |
| Kotobuki: |
.........?
A servant...?
Maybe... a son?
Strange clothes...
.........!
W-wow...
The lights are on...
Looks expensive...
|
|
It's grander than any of hte mansions I've ever snuck into... |
| Boy: |
Here |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa
Thank...... |
| Boy: |
I've known you.
Always, always
Known you.
Kotobuki
|
| Boy: |
I'm really happy
We got to meet again... |
|
*floats up* |
|
Dis...
Disappeared--!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Ugyaaa~~~ |
|
Just what was that guy!? |
| Maid: |
Who's there!! |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa.......
|
|
Oh boy, oh boy |
| Kotobuki: |
I've come...
I've come to see Ross. |
| Maid: |
Huh!?
Just how did you sneak in here!? |
| Ross: |
What's going on?
If you're looking for Ross
That'd be me? |
| Kotobuki: |
Ross...?
You are? |
|
*yawn* |
| Ross: |
That's right.
Well I'm impressed.
That such a cute girl would sneak past the thorny path to come see me.
Now then, let's go to the bedroom shall we |
| Kotobuki: |
Wrong!!
|
| Kotobuki: |
I'm a worker at the orphanage that you help support but...... |
| Ross: |
Oh, I see.
And? |
| Kotobuki: |
A short while ago, a strange guy attacked the place and so... |
| Ross: |
Stop.
Granted, I do give financial aid but that's all. Please don't bring your problems to me.
I really hate "Nameless Ones" |
| Kotobuki: |
Then......
Why... |
| Ross: |
But if you absolutely insist, I'll listen to what you have to say.
In bed. |
| Kotobuki: |
*Dirty old man...
|
|
*thwack* |
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
| Ross: |
Owww~~~ |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon.........
How did you get in here? |
| Ross: |
So it was you afterall.
That's mean, we finally see each other again and that's the attitude you take? |
| Raimon: |
As always, ***** |
| Kotobuki: |
!? |
| Maid: |
Master Raimon? |
| Butler: |
It's Master Raimon. |
| Kotobuki: |
Raimon......?
You know him...? |
| Ross: |
Aa
Are you perchance Raimon's girlfriend?
|
| Ross: |
Forgive my tardiness. I'm Raimon's
Father. |
| Kotobuki: |
Fa- |
| Ross: |
Charmed |
| Kotobuki: |
Father~~!? |
| Raimon: |
At least serve tea. |
| Ross: |
I will if you call me Papa. |
