School Trip at the End of the World ch20

p1
>Hey!! Shisa! - May

p2
>When you think of school trips...
>you think Okinawa!!

>The ocean again?
>You got a problem with that!?

>The Okinawan beaches are brimming with charm!
>Blue seas. White sand.
>Colorful tropical fish.
>Coral reef all around.
>Ruins at the bottom of the sea.
>The romanticness doesn't stop!

p3
>Well, it's certainly a pretty beach...

>Ah.

>Ooh! Star-shaped sand.
>That's "starsand".

>It's cute.
>It's the dead remains of a lifeform known as foraminifera.
>So much for the romance.

p4
>Let's chase each other on this white beach while saying "catch me if you can"!
>Ahahahahaha
>I'll pass.

>More importantly, we should find somewhere to rest.
>I'm getting hungry.

>Is this... perhaps
>a gravesite?

>So this is a gravesite!!
>It's cute like a little house.
>It's just like the one I saw in Granny's books.

p5
>May's kind doesn't have this kind of strange culture~
>Martians don't have gravesites?

>On Mars, we normally send the dead off into space. We return them to the sky.
>...Sorry, I don't get it.

>So there's humans in here, huh~
>Come on, let's go.

>! May knows!

p6
>Let's eat lunch here!
>Eeeh!?

>What are you thinking!?
>Well y'know~

>If we all eat together,
>the people in the graves would enjoy it too!

p7
>Granny, graves are scary, huh?
>Not at all.

>It's fun getting to talk with your ancestors.

>...Alright.
>We'll eat here today.
>Yay~!

p1
>May made a mess - May

p2
>We're here at Yokohama Chinatown!

>May says Chinatown, but we're in Japan, not china.
>I know that. You don't have to mock me.

>It's a place with hundreds of stores selling delicious Chinese food.
>I've never eaten Chinese food before.

>May will make some for you next time!

>Next time?
>What are we doing today?

p3
>When you think of Chinatown, there's one other thing it's famous for!

>Fortune telling!

>Fortune telling?

>You don't know what fortune telling is!?
>It's that thing where they look into your future, right?

p4
>I'm not really interested.

>Not interested in fortune telling...?

>You're a failure
>of a high schooler!

>Eeeh...?

>When you think high schoolers, you think fortune telling! When you think fortune telling, you think high schoolers!
>Wooah
>You're saying random things again.

p5
>May's gonna teach you
>the joys of fortune telling!

>Let's tell your fortune right away.
>This is bad!

>Madam, May sees into your future.
>May sees it.

p6
>Tonight's dinner will be curry!

>That's because we gotta use the leftover curry from yesterday.

>Can you even tell fortunes, May?
>Fortune telling is easy for a Martian!
>The heck?

>Your name is Satsuki.
>You're a Japanese high schooler who loves your Granny!
>You're here today on a school trip!
>That's common knowledge!! What about the fortune telling?

p7
>And right now, you're
>in love,
>aren't you!?

>Nope.

>Why not!? When you think of high schoolers getting their fortune told, it's obviously fortunes about love!
>Who am I supposed to be in love with?

>Going from love fortunes to love talk is an ironclad rule!
>It's the springtime of youth!
>Like I would know.
>Hah~

p8
>But even if it's not love
>it would be nice if you found someone precious, Satsuki.

>If it's someone precious, I think I already have one?

p9
>This is serious news! Who is it!?
>Tell May!

>The springtime of youth is here!
>This is what high schoolers are all about!

>Try and guess with your fortune telling.
>Wha!?
>No, May's got it! It's your Granny, right!?
>She's precious too, but no.
>Fgyah!

p1
>Big clouds - May

p2
>That's the EnoDen for you!! It's got charm!

p3
>What are you talking about?
>Eeh!? You don't know what the EnoDen is, Satsuki!?

>Allow May to teach you why everyone loves Eno-Den.
>The Enoshima Electric Railway, "EnoDen" for short, offers a lot of different views despite only being 10km long.
>Hmmm~

>...Rumors say you could run alongside it with a bicycle
>and stores flourished because of it.
>What kind of rumors are those?

>So with that said,

p4
>let's go search for corpses!!
>Can I go home?

>Wait, wait!
>Let's play Stand By Me!
>Stand By Me?

>It's a famous movie about young boys looking for corpses during their summer vacation.
>What's that got to do with EnoDen?
>Nothing!

p5
>But if you're walking along a rail track, you gotta play Stand By Me!
>Okay, I got it.

p6
>We found it~ A train's corpse.
>Work on your phrasing...

>It's kinda sad. This train used to happily run around and be loved by all.
>I would've like to have seen it run...

p7
>Wh-What!?

>The train is moving!?

>The EnoDen is back to life!

p8
>All aboard!!

>Amazing! Amazing!

p9
>A dream, huh...

>Thank you for your hard work, EnoDen.

p1
>Hey, welcome! - May

p2
>Now then!

>We're here! Fukuoka!
>Dazaifu Tenmanguu!

p3
>Why a Shinto shrine?
>Tsk, tsk, tsk.
>This place is perfect for a high schooler like you, Satsuki...

>This is, after all,
>the shrine of the God of Study!

>Study, huh... Everything I needed to know I learned from Granny.
>That may be true for now, but...!

>Lots of exam takers
>would come here to pray for their success!

p4
>In other words, it's a "super hotspot"
>that no high schooler should miss out on...!
>>Pass
>I guess studying was important back in those days.

>That aside... it sure is pretty here.
>Those are "Japanese apricots", part of the Rosaceae family.
>I know that much.

>Legend says that when someone important came here long ago,
>this white plum blossom came falling from the sky!
>Seriously?

p5
>It's just like
>the time May and Satsuki first met!

>Was it as nice as that?

>May will have to purify your wicked heart, Satsuki.
>Huh?

>Tada~! This is the spot!
>A bridge?

p6
>This is no ordinary bridge!
>These three bridges have the power to exorcise wicked thoughts.
>May will be your guide as she ferries you across, Satsuki~!

>First.
>The "past" bridge.

>Second.
>The "present" bridge.

>Third.
>The "future" bridge.
>...Wait. Ah!?

>We're going from the main shrine we warped to... so we're going backwards!
>We've gone back in time~!

>C-C-C-Calm down!
>Let's just start again from the past...

p7
>Wah!
>Wawah! What is this!?

p8
>J-...
>Just now...!
>May saw it! May saw the past...!

>Granny...

p9
>Where are you going, Satsuki?
>Our future is this way!

>...
>...Yeah, you're right.

>Okay!
>Let's go to the next place!

p1
>Palm-sized Satsuki - May

p2
>To think the vegetation would cause the gate to malfunction...
>May didn't even consider that...

>There's no Satsuki...
>May hopes she's okay...

>...
>Huh?

p3
>With Satsuki's reflexes, she probably won't get injured,
>though since she's a musclehead, she'd probably go "well, it'll be fine" and move around recklessly.

>We're... seperated...? What do I do...?
>Well, I'm sure May will come find me... It'll be fine...

>But well, Satsuki gets lonely easily, so she's likely going "May~ May~ Fweeeh!!"
>Good grief
>and searching for May with tears in her eyes, no doubt.

>That's probably what May's saying with a smug face right about now...
>I can already picture it...

p4
>It's been ages... since May wasn't by my side.

>It's kinda... lonely.

p5
>Not having Satsuki by May's side

>feels kinda strange.

p6
>Ah.

p8
>Ah!

>Satsuki!! Found you!
>Thank goodness we joined up.
>May's glad you're okay! May didn't expect the gate would malfunction!
>Is this... the place you were talking about, May?
>That's right!

>This is one of Hokkaido's most famous spots, Aoi Pond!
>It's water accumulated from a dam, but for some reason, this is the only place where it's a beautiful blue color.
>By leaving it as is, the pretty blue surface spread even further.

p9
>Were you lonely while we were seperated?
>Not really~? I don't think I was that lonely.
>Eeh~? Then what's with your hand~?
>I'm just a little cold, that's all.

p1
>There's a lot of mountains - May

p2
>Amazing. I've never seen Mt. Fuji before.

>Volcanic mountains have hot springs!
>Today, we're gonna use these to find the phantom secret hot spring!
>I wonder if we'll find it...

p3
>Or rather,

>can those things really find it?
>The hot spring.

>Of course! Back in the day, Earthlings used that
>to find lots of hot springs.
>Sounds fishy.
>It's the truth!

p4
>Mt. Fuji is an active volcano, so there's sure to be a hot spring.
>We can use it to take a break!

>It's still active...?

>That's right! It could erupt at any moment!
>Stop that.

>Don't worry!

p5
>If anything happens, May will protect you!
>Ah. Found some peaches.

>...

>Satsuki, all you've done today is eat.
>Eh? That so?

>Can't help it. You don't get a chance to eat fresh fruit every day, y'know?
>As expected of Yamanashi, the fruit country!

p6
>Let's take it easy searching while eating fruit.
>Yeah~

p7
>Hah~
>We're not finding anything.

>I can sense the hot spring's "ki", but...
>Are you sure the "ki"'s not to blame?

>It's already evening, so let's give up for today.

>Oooh!!

>This time for sure, Satsuki!
>Eeh~

p8
>If this one doesn't pan out...

>let's give... up...

>There it is!

>Alright! Let's get relaxing!
>Is this okay?

p9
>Quite the luxury bath, huh?
>Fuji~ is the best~ mountain~ in Japan~
>True that.

p1
>Looking for ducks - May

p2
>When you think Kyoto, you think temples.
>When you think temples, you think the New Year's bell ringing.

>So with that said, we're gonna ring the bell!!
>As abrupt as ever, I see.

>The New Year's bell ringing is Japan's biggest event.
>There are many theories, but the most common one is to ring it 108 times for each worldly desire.

>We should ring it 108 times too!

p3
>That's huge!!

p4
>It looks really old. Is this gonna be okay?
>We just have to ring it with this, right?

>Torya~~~!!

>Wah~

p5
>You okay?
>May didn't have enough energy~

>You help out too, Satsuki!
>Eh~!?

>Here we go~
>Yeah, yeah.

p6
>There~!!

>Swing it back and forth!
>More!
>More and more~!!

>Here we go, May!
>One!
>Two!
>Three!

p8
>We did it~
>It was a success!
>Hah~

>Do we really have to do this 107 more times?

p9
>W-Well, we can leave it at that for today.
>Something always seems to break when you're around, May.

p3
>The Rainbow Bridge is blocked off!!

>Eh?

>You're right...
>There's a closed sign...

p4
>It's still pretty sturdy, but they had a point.
>It would've been dangerous for cars to go across this thing.

>Although there's no cars around these days, so prohibiting them doesn't really do anything.

>With this, we can't pretend that the Rainbow Bridge
>isn't blocked off!

>We can't pretend that it isn't?

>I mean, if it's pretend, you don't have to worry about it, right?
>It's foolish to pretend it isn't when it clearly is in real life!

p5
>The Rainbow Bridge not being blocked off
>is a classic scene from TV dramas!
>May had a phase when she was really into TV and dramas.
>So you're biased from watching those?

>Watching TV dramas back then filled May with dreams.
>They gave May energy.

>They had a unique flavor to them.
>It seeps into you.

p6
>It's a shame we can't pretend the blockade isn't there, but it's not like that's the only reason we came here.

>Let's walk across the Rainbow Bridge!!

>Okay, let's go.
>W-W-Wait for May!

p7
>Rainbow Bridge has two layers, with a pathway running across the lower layer.
>It was also a driving spot where you could enjoy the sights of Tokyo!

>If you can walk here, you can walk anywhere!
>Hah~...
>She's saying bothersome things again...

p8
>Hmm.
>Not too shabby.
>Right!?

p9
>Also, the Rainbow Bridge promenade has a north route and a south route, so you can get twice the enjoyment on the way back~!
>>South
>>North

>Wait, you wanna make a return trip...?

>In that case, May, tell your travel companion about the films you saw.
>Sounds good! May wants to watch interesting films with you too, Satsuki!
>And then you'll want to pretend the blockade isn't there too!
>No, I don't know about that.
>You definitely will!

>I wonder if there's a new gate here.

>That plane is huge!?

>Let's get on, Satsuki!
>Eh? Hold on, May!

p3
>Ooh~ So this is what the inside of a plain looks like!
>Uwah! It's like a house!

>It's not moving, of course.
>Why would you think it could?

p4
>Ah~ Birds live here, huh...

>Phew...
>May must have it rough too.

p5
>Beef or chicken?

>Huh?

>This is what you think of when you think airplanes!
>Asking what you'd like for your in-flight meal.
>It's just gonna be hardtack either way, right?

>How did you know?
>It was obvious.

>Well, let's leave the playing around there...

p6
>Our main event is the cockpit!
>Woah, amazing... There's so many machines!

>What are you doing, May?

>What do you think I'm doing?
>Ufufufu~
>No idea.

p7
>Wouldn't it be fun to fly in this!?
>You moron!

>Let's go!
>Wait, wait!

>Take off!

p8
>Why won't it move~!?
>You had me worried there.

>Come on. Let's leave.

p9
>There's something written here?

>It seems like it's saying "have a nice trip!" or something.

>Then let's have a good school trip next time too.
>Of course!
