| Aide: |
Major,
We've just received Fox and a few other items from HQ. |
| Touya: |
...I see.
In that case, perhaps it's time to get on with our plans. |
|
*ZAA...N* (sound of waves) |
|
Up until now
I'd always been fine.
I didn't think anything about when we touched or how I was dressed.
Raimon can do anything
He's so intelligent. |
| Kotobuki: |
I thought that was the only difference between us |
| Author's Note: |
Ultra Special Doesn't Really Matter #1
Two of my friends refer to Yan as "Yanka-chan"... It seems like it all started when they misread his name (as if that were possible...)
In any case, for some reason he's very popular with everyone.
Actually he's a character that unintentionally popped into being.
In truth he was supposed to be a bad guy... his personality ended up something of a mystery (laughs).
|
|
But for the first time, I've realised Raimon is "a man" |
|
*HA~* (sighs) |
| Raimon: |
The leader of the Resistance group "Teki" Kou Mizuchi died two months ago from illness.
Currently his son, Yan Mizuchi, has taken over and they have a little under fifty members.
They say. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh!?
Aa, is that so!? |
|
*doki* |
|
No good.
What's got to be done's got to be done!! |
| Kotobuki: |
B-
But anyway you look at it, the "Teki's" base sure is in a scary place. |
| Raimon: |
What're you going to do?
Sneak in? |
| Image: |
Arrow: Base
Sea
Like this |
|
*pan pan* (brushes off dirt) |
| Kotobuki: |
I'm going to think about that from here on but......
Don't forget your promise not to do anything okay?
|
| Raimon: |
Did I say that? |
| Kotobuki: |
You did
You did
Don't pretend like you know nothing!! |
|
Without getting Raimon's help, steal information that can destroy the "Teki."
That was the secret promise I'd made with Touya.
In order to prove my innocence from suspicions of being a member of the "Teki."
And more importantly |
| Touya: |
If you're unable to steal that information, I'll have you return Raimon.
|
|
*MUKAA* (GRRR) |
|
*Geshi geshi geshi* (stomp stomp) |
| Kotobuki: |
It's to absolutely, absolutely not give up Raimon. |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki
Kotobuki
I absolutely will not do anything so it's okay for me to stay with you right?
If not, I
Go crazy.
|
|
*ZOKU* (shiver) |
|
Low voice
Hands
Body |
|
*GUI* (pull) |
| Raimon: |
Are you listening? |
|
Even strength. |
|
*ZU ZA ZA ZA* |
|
Different from myself.
A man--!! |
| Raimon: |
Is something wrong?
For one thing, dressing so warmly
Aren't you hot? |
|
*Giku* (jumps) |
| Author's Note: |
Strange pose |
| Kotobuki: |
There's no particular reason
Feeling embarassed about being seen by Raimon at this stage |
|
*Gaya gaya*
|
| Raimon: |
Wait.
someone's coming. |
|
*U* |
| Kotobuki: |
Kyaa
Don't come near me.
If you come near me,
See. Again, the trembling~~!! |
|
That time when I was able to touch him seems like a lie.
While I've been kissed by him a number of times, right now, I can't believe it.
Right now, if he did that sort of thing, no doubt
Something would end up happening--!! |
| Raimon: |
They're not there.
That two-some who destroyed a house in town yesterday.
They've gone. |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh!? |
| Raimon: |
It would've been fastest if we could've caught them and gotten them to tell all. |
| Kotobuki: |
It seems like there aren't many people here...
They're not by chance out on another robbery.........? |
| Raimon: |
If they are
|
| Kotobuki: |
.........
Let's go back to town again for a bit...
For one thing I need to get a number of things together to sneak in... |
| Raimon: |
Okay...
......... |
|
.........But |
| Kotobuki: |
Me being like this, I wonder if I can become "someone able to protect Raimon..." |
|
*Hafu~* (sighs) |
| Kotobuki: |
I'm going to look at the things we'll need to get in...... |
| Raimon: |
'kay 'kay. |
|
*kata kata* |
| Arrow: |
Wants it...
|
| Kotobuki: |
Cute clothes... |
|
[Come to think of it
I've never worn these sorts of clothes before...
Holding them up and seeing how they suit...] |
|
*te he* |
| Kotobuki: |
It doesn't suit... |
| Raimon: |
It suits you. |
|
*BIBIKUN* (jumps) |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh
Umm... |
| Raimon: |
This is the first time you've ever been interested in those sorts of clothes right?
It definitely suits you.
For one thing, Kotobuki's always been cute. |
| Kotobuki: |
N...
No... |
|
*KAA...* (blushes) |
|
Something's wrong with me
|
|
It keeps getting worse and worse!! |
| Touya: |
Hey
You two... |
| Kotobuki: |
*GE*
Touya!! |
|
*SA* (stands in front of Raimon protectively) |
| Touya: |
Now now.
No need to get so defensive.
That's right, won't you two join me for (lunch)
*** - NB most accurate would be to say "for a meal" but that sounds strange in English. Lunch seems the most appropriate in the story |
| Raimon: |
Like I said, you two
Aren't you hot? |
| Kotobuki: |
Just for lunch, right... |
| Touya: |
Naturally? |
|
*fufu* |
| Kotobuki: |
"For now"
That's the expression that's so blatant on your face |
|
*su...*
|
| Kotobuki: |
What's with that guy... |
|
[Strange smell...] |
| Kotobuki: |
Waa |
|
*DON* (bump) |
| Yan: |
Oops
Sorry... |
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
| Yan: |
Hello?
You...... |
| Kotobuki: |
You're...
From yesterday--- |
| Pic Banner: |
From yesterday
kiss--v |
| Yan: |
Ahahah
Close, close.
We almost ended up kissing again y'know...?
|
| Yan: |
Well, no use worrying so much over it. Think of it as a mutual accident. |
|
*PON PON* |
| Kotobuki: |
Hey |
| Yan: |
From now on, I'll watch where I'm going.
See ya!! |
| Kotobuki: |
W--
Wait already
Your name......
Tell me your name!! |
| GM1: |
Yan! |
| Yan: |
Hey.
How were things on your side |
| HM2: |
Don't know...
Damnit
This time for sure, I really wanted to even the score with them |
| Yan: |
Too true.
If you've got the time to kick the "Teki's" ass, try doing something more meaningful
Militia folk. |
|
*gari gari*
|
| Touya: |
And?
How's your progress as a spy going Kotobuki? |
| Kotobuki: |
What're you expecting to get done between yesterday and today. |
| Touya: |
Oh dear, if that's the case, I'm going to have to take you in... |
|
*fu* (sighs) |
| Kotobuki: |
...I can sympathize a bit with the "Teki"......
If the militia are all such pains... |
|
*fu fu* (chuckles) |
| Touya: |
That would be extremely foolish. You should reconsider
Have you seen the sea here?
Never mind living creatures, even light doesn't enter this contaminated sea.
That's just one of the results of the previous era being unable to discern their own territory and drowning in the desire for dominance.
Blue Rose's wished for ideology is similar to that.
|
| Touya: |
It's because of the militia that this country can sustain itself.
Without that, then what would hold the country together?
In less than a year, it would only fall into chaos right?
Wishing for change, means to
Destroy the current peace |
|
*dokin* (heart lurches) |
|
["Change"
Change...] |
|
*chira* (glance) |
| Touya: |
By the way,
How far have you and Raimon gotten?
|
| Kotobuki: |
Wha |
| Raimon: |
Pervert...
Old men are pains.... |
| Touya: |
Now, now. It's not nice to point your finger at people.
well actually this has really been bothering me.
This point |
| Kotobuki: |
Just what on earth are you saying.
I-
that sort of thing |
|
[I'd come this far without any concern.
Up
'til
now] |
| Kotobuki: |
......
What do I know!! |
|
*GATAN* |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki |
| Kotobuki: |
I've also changed.
My feelings for Raimon have changed
|
| Kotobuki: |
Somehow, in a very strange way!! |
| Raimon: |
Kotobuki |
|
*bikun* (twitch) |
| Kotobuki: |
No... |
|
*PAN* (slap) |
|
*HA* (sharp inhalation in realisation) |
| Kotobuki: |
Aa......
S.........
Sorry......
I'm... sor...
|
| Kotobuki: |
Sor............ |
| Raimon: |
I think I'll die |
| Kotobuki: |
I hurt him......!! |
| Touya: |
...Raimon. I can't understand
Why you stick to her.
She's just like a child.
It's like playing house |
| Raimon: |
...Right. |
| Touya: |
Eh?
|
| Raimon: |
She's so cute
I think I'll die...
She said "No" |
| Touya: |
.........
Not fun to the extreme |
| Raimon: |
It's like she's a newborn
Kotobuki doesn't understand.
Most people would understand quite easily.
But because she wasn't able to learn like most people
She really survived completely on her own.
So it's natural that her love be so child-like.
But
I'm going to make her a "woman". |
| Touya: |
.........
Such peaceful eyes.
That time's...
I liked your eyes when you were so openly nihilistic......
|
| Touya: |
Where did those eyes disappear to.
Just what would she think if she knew how you were back then. |
| Raimon: |
...If you want to tell her, go right ahead.
Later. |
| Touya: |
Raimon.
This place.
.........
Our dream that we'd shared before is here... |
|
*ZA... |
|
*shiku shiku* (crying)
|
|
[I hurt him
I ended up hurting him
Hitting him is the lowest.
All because I've changed.
Wishing for change means to
Destroy the everyday peace.
In that case then
Will my relationship with Raimon fall apart?] |
| Kotobuki: |
I don't want that... |
|
[But maybe it will,
Afterall I can't handle coming into contact like before
Did my feelings change in order to to broken? |
| Kotobuki: |
Why...? |
| Kotobuki: |
[If for example the world or the "Teki" did manage to destroy what exists now,
Why is it they want to change?] |
|
*DO-O-N...* |
|
*PI* |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh............?
|
|
*pita* (step) |
| Raimon: |
It's come to that...
Talk about crude |
|
*GOOO...* |
|
*Waa* |
|
*Gya* |
| Man: |
It's the "Teki"... |
| Man2: |
No doubt it's the "Teki's" doing again!! |
| Kotobuki: |
It's burning... |
|
[Why
Go as far as to destroy what exists now] |
| Kotobuki: |
The fire...
Got to put out the fire...... |
|
*TA TA* (runs)
|
|
A bomb!? |
| Kotobuki: |
What should I do...... |
| Yan: |
Don't touch |
|
*GUI* (pulls) |
| Yan: |
Hey |
|
Aa-- |
| Kotobuki: |
You...... |
| Yan: |
Oh good.
It's not remote controlled |
|
*piso* |
| Yan: |
Not only is it a time bomb, but it's also pretty standard. |
|
*butsu* (cuts wire) |
| Kotobuki: |
Why're you here... |
| Teki Member: |
Yan!
|
| Kotobuki: |
Eh!? |
| TM1: |
Oh good, we were just about to go call you.
What's that thing? |
| Kotobuki: |
By Yan...
Yan Mizuchi!?
Leader of the "Teki"!?
This guy!? |
| Yan: |
It's a bomb. This kid just found it.
I can't believe it; they're so underhanded |
| Kotobuki: |
Th-this...
He's pretty much the same as me... |
| Yan: |
It can't be helped
Just in case
Have the town people evacuate
And get some people fight the fire
The rest are to search for any more bombs!
If things get too dangerous, then get out at once!
Hurry! |
|
*BATA BATA* |
| TM: |
Aye |
| Kotobuki: |
Huh!?
It's not... the work of the "Teki?" |
| Yan: |
Whoa
|
| Yan: |
What a stench
This explosive
It must be Fox
I don't know if it's the latest development, but trying doing something about this smell
Stop that; they're leather gloves |
|
*PAN PAN* |
| Kotobuki: |
Eh?
This smell...
Somewhere... |
| Yan: |
Hm?
What? |
| Kotobuki: |
That's right......
Touya's aide had this smell on him...... |
|
*GATCHIN* |
|
*GA GA GA GA*
*chun chun chun chun* |
| K & Y: |
!? |
| Touya: |
Don't move
Both of you
"Teki" leader Yan Mizuchi,
and Kotobuki;
You're under arrest
And will be punished
|
| Touya: |
For having exceeded the bounds of resistance and engaging in terrorist activities as well as robberies
I think that's more than enough for charges |
| Kotobuki: |
Touya |
| Yan: |
So you say...
So you Militia were operating covertly afterall.
Robberies? No doubt those were things you'd had your underlings do. |
|
*GABA* |
| Aide: |
!? |
|
It's the same smell afterall... |
| Kotobuki: |
This was the plan...
from the very beginning wasn't it...!? |
|
[I
Was being manipulated by this guy --!!] |
| Touya: |
It seems you've lost the bet. |
| Yan: |
Ahh damnit!!
|
|
*GARI GARI* |
| Yan: |
That's why I didn't want to take over things.
But I thought maybe it'd be alright to run the "Teki" as I saw fit
Although I haven't even decided how that should be yet either.
Taking over things causes nothing but stress in any age.
A~ah if only I hadn't changed my mind back then-- |
| Kotobuki: |
Y-Yan? |
| Yan: |
But complaining about it's no use
Feelings just evolve on their own anyways.
I was just trying out being an oaf for a bit |
| Kotobuki: |
E...volve? |
| TM: |
Yan!? |
| Yan: |
!? |
|
*pi pi* |
| TM: |
Youguys. What're you doing with Yan...... |
| Yan: |
You idiot...
You haven't defused that bomb yet!!
|
| TM: |
Eh |
| Yan: |
Hurry up and throw it... |
|
*ZA ZA*
*BARI* |
| Guard: |
Aa!? |
|
*DO*
*DA DA DA*
*KAN KAN KAN*
*PI* |
| Kotobuki: |
Ra...... |
|
*BOOM*
|
| Aide: |
Incredible... |
| Touya: |
It seems his skill hasn't dropped any. |
| Guard: |
All three of them have gone! |
| Touya: |
Go after them.
Other than Raimon, it doesn't matter if you harm them. |
| Raimon: |
Are you okay Kotobuki? |
| Kotobuki: |
Running wasn't... hard but......
Um...... hey |
| Raimon: |
Yes? |
| Kotobuki: |
.........Sorry
Um......
Hitting you
I'm sorry......... |
| Raimon: |
In that case, will you kiss me?
|
| Raimon: |
I've never had you kiss me. |
|
Aa |
| Yan: |
Forget about my existence and go right ahead
As much as you like |
| Kotobuki: |
Stu |
|
*chika* (glint) |
| Kotobuki: |
Yan!! |
|
GUN (yank) |
| Yan: |
Aa!!?
|
| Kotobuki: |
!! |
|
*GAKU*
*BASHA--N*
*BASHA*
BASHA* |
| Yan: |
......... |
|
*ZA...N* |
| Yan: |
She fell in... |
|
*GORI* |
| Touya: |
For what it's worth, we'll try looking for her
Although it's pretty pointless after falling into this sort of contaminated sea.
|
| Yan: |
I don't get it. Why are you so determined to wipe out the "Teki?" |
| Raimon: |
Mankind's dream
"Tsubasa"
There's a high probability that it's sleeping beneath the "Teki's" base... |
| Yan: |
!?
Tsubasa-
You mean that...? |
| Touya: |
...Very good. But there's one more thing isn't there?
That it's vital to we Militia
Isn't that right, Raimon.
Raimon? |
