Part 115: 9/6/09

9/6/09

I understand they took Chidori to the hospital late last night.

I’ll ask you once more…
Is Chidori your real name?
……
What kind of organization is Strega? Are there others besides you three?
……
* sigh *
Hey wait, Junpei!
You’re not supposed to be here, remember!?
Chidori…!
Junpei!
Uh… Sorry. He wouldn’t stop bugging me about this place…
How are you feeling? …Seems like you’ve calmed down.
……
She certainly has. In fact, she won’t say a word.

I guess they’re already down there trying to get some information out of her, though from how she was acting last night I’m not sure there’s much point.



Hey, come on… What good would that do!?
That won’t make her talk!
I’m not so sure about that.
She was quite upset when we took her Evoker.
Speaking of which… Where did you get that?
Medea…
Give it back to me! I want her back!!
Hey, I told you not to bring that up, didn’t I!?
Then, what am I supposed to do!?
* sigh * I’ll have someone else try next time.
Why…? Why did you take it from me…? Medea…
…Yukari, call a nurse. We’re done for today.
I’ll inform Ikutsuki-san of the difficulties we’re having.
Oh… Okay.
C’mon, Junpei, let’s go.
Chidori… What happened to you…?

Shinjiro’s unhappy about how Junpei’s acting.



He’s getting soft, huh?
What about you, Senpai?
Trust me, girls complicate life.

I’m much more unhappy about the news, though.



Narrator: Episode 29: Final Battle! Did a random brawl put Hawk out of commission!?
Newscaster: …And now, the news.
The latest victim is the 5th case of Apathy Syndrome this month…

Things should improve after we defeat a Shadow, but this time nothing.



Mitsuru-san and Akihiko-san are currently on their way there to interrogate her.
When neither senpai is present, we are not permitted to go to Tartarus.

Fuuka’s still bothered by Chidori’s ability to evade her detection.



Most likely it was due to Medea’s ability to distract…
We only saw two of them, but the girl must have been somewhere close.

I ran into Akinari at the shrine, and hung out with him for a while.



Why don’t you have a seat? This bench is too big for me alone.
> It seems Akinari would like the pleasure of your company.
Then, this bench will be our meeting place.
> Akinari seems happy.
You’re… not like the others.
You think so?
I honestly didn’t expect you to come back.
> Akinari smiled distantly.
Nobody treats me like a normal guy… not even my family.
I can tell by how they look at me. The pity in their eyes is unmistakable.
…I don’t need their sympathy any more than I need their curiosity.
I’m sorry, but…
I don’t expect anyone to pity me.

Maybe it’s because we’ve faced it so many times against the Shadows, but I just don’t seem to flinch away from death anymore.



You may be right.
…You must have a hopelessness festering inside you as well, then. I can’t remember a time without it.
> Akinari smiled.
…Hey. Thanks for coming today.
You don’t seem like everyone else.
I’m not sure I know how to describe it exactly, but…
You don’t look down on me the way everyone else does…
> Akinari seems intrigued by you.
> Your relationship is stronger now!

That’s probably a bad thing really.



* cough * * cough *
Dammit… What did I do to deserve this body?
* wheeze *
…I hope we can meet again.
> You decided to go back to the dorm.

Ikutsuki’s hanging around the dorm again.



Capturing her shall provide us with quite an advantage…
We are moving ever closer to completing our mission.

I’d like to think there’s a way we can work this whole thing out.



What should we do?
Cheer him on.
Cheer him on, huh? But, what should I say…?

A way where nobody else has to get hurt.



Sorry man, I wanna be alone right now.

I just hope I’m right.



* pant * * pant *
Koromaru’s so fast, I’m jealous…
…How was today?
Everyone seems to be on edge…
But no one will tell me what happened…
Am I… THAT unreliable…?
Am I THAT childish…?
I need to work harder…
> You spoke quietly with Ken…
Woof.
> It seems Koromaru is done playing.
Oh, here comes Koromaru.
Hey, stop digging! * sneeze *
> You decide to go back to the dorm with Koromaru.
