After School Re-Reincarnation ch18: Once Again, In An Everyday (Other)World

p1
>Earth - Kirabo City

p2
>...It's you.
>What do you want this time?

>I wanted to thank you.

>You came to our rescue today, didn't you?
>It was so obvious.

>Oh please.

>We've only managed to avoid crisis for the time being.
>I'm sure there'll be someone else
>who'll plot to use Utaho and Melua's powers.

p3
>...Now that I've gotten myself involved,
>I'm prepared for the worst too.

>This time for sure,
>I'll do everything I can for those two
>so I can proudly say that they're my precious family.

p4
>...But
>I've been lying to them all this time,
>so I doubt we can go back to normal just like that.

>...I'm sure you'll be fine.

>Even if that doesn't come true,
>I'm sure you'll manage one way or another.

>I mean, I'm an elf who's over 9000 years old
>and I'm ableto enjoy living high school life to the fullest!
>That doesn't prove anything!

p5
>...Well,
>I'll do what I can.

>If things work out well,
>you should come hang out at our place.
>!!

>Does that mean we can have a sleepover!?
>That's so high school girl-ish!
>Sounds good.
>Those girls seem to like you, after all.

>Ooh!
>I'm looking forward to it!
>I have high hopes, Riku!

>Yeah.
>Let's get along as those two's guardians,
>Elulu-san.
>Yeah!
>...Wait, don't just call me their guardian!!

p6
>...That being said,
>there's still a heap of problems...
>It's a little easier now that I have someone to back me up,

>but it's not gonna be that convenient~
>Hm?

>A text? Who could it be at a time like this...?

>!?

p7
>Parallel Materia Inc....!?
>Why...??

>Seira-sama.
>I've identified Kurami Riku's contact details just as you instructed.
>Thank you.
>I'll handle the rest.
>Right. Excuse me.

>...Now then,

p8
>I need to do what I can for my friends too...!
>Seto Nico (Earth form)
>Real name: Shindou Seira
>Parallel Materia President's Daughter (Age 9)

>I may be inexperienced, but as an adult,
>I'll give my all to protect Utaho-san and Melua-san's lifestyles!
>Hmph

>Just you watch,
>Mom and Dad.
>See how your daughter and future president plunges forward!

p9
>And then some day,
>I'll solve the mysteries of the world with my dear friends!

>...
>Hmm.

p10
>Bea (Earth form)
>Earth has so many large buildings~

>Hmhmm♪
>In order to better serve my master,
>I need to raise my maid power.

>Earth's maids...
>Smells like a new world♪
>>Maid Café Miyabi (Moe)
>>Hiring new maids!!
>>Message from the owner

p11
>Subarugasaki Girls' High School

>To think you'd suddenly ask to meet up after so many years without a word.

p12
>What kind of wind blew you here,
>Touka?

>...Long time no see,
>Senri.

>Did you perhaps want to make up with me?
>No.
>I just... wanted to see your face for a bit.
>Oh, what a shame.

p13
>Fufu
>...I heard that your plan's been put on hold.

>Same goes for your position as chief.
>I guess it's in "post-processing" for a while?
>...

>In other words, you don't have any power left to stop me.
>In which case~
>it's a very good chance for me.

>Now's the time to completely fuse Earth and the otherworld
>and liberate the people from this harsh reality.

p14
>...Ng.
>You're still on about that...!?

>Senri.
>Our adventure already ended 10 years ago!

>...You're still a stick in the mud as ever, Touka.

>You really have no dreams~

>You just have too many.

p15
>...I'm glad we got to talk again.
>Fufu. Me too.

>...Before I go,
>just remember this.

>This world won't become the way you want it to be.
>Not ever.
>...

>You'll come to know it sooner or later.

p16
>The strength of those girls' feelings.

>Melua.
>Are you okay now?

>Yeah.
>Today was really rough,

>but everyone helped me through it.
>...Yep.

p17
>...Wait.
>Since when did you become someone
>who worries about others, Utaho-chan?
>>gulp
>I-
>I'm just
>making sure you don't cause our family any more trouble.
>Ahaha. Let's just leave it at that.

>...The truth is
>I've been pushing myself a little.

>I was thrown into this world without being able to remember anything.
>All the time, I've been worried
>and had been forcing myself to act cheerful.

p18
>...??
>You certainly didn't look that way at the start.
>Ehehe.
>It was the moment I met you that I started using my cheery persona...

>Wanting to be a hero. Wanting a family.
>There were all kinds of reasons,
>but the thing that first made me want to become a cheerful me
>was when I just so happened to see the view outside my window.

>That overabundant world gave me hope.

>One by one,
>the city lights shone on everybody living their daily lives...

p19
>It was as pretty
>as the "starry sky".

p20
>Woah! What's with the loud voice all of a sudden?
>...Well, my sudden change of character caught Riku-san off guard, though.
>*ep.2
>So that's why she reacted that way.

>...I want
>to properly talk things over with Riku-san once more.

>B-B-B-But how do I do that!?
>Uwah~
>To be honest, things are still so crazy right now that I don't think I could talk to her normally if I saw her!!

>...
>Then we just need to do what we "normally" do.
>Eh?

p21
>Let's go right now.
>On an adventure.

>If we do that, you can start by talking about everything we did on it.
>Eeh?
>R-
>Right now!? During nighttime!?

>Besides, if we go right now,
>the starry sky on Alterna will be even prettier.
>At least I think so.
>...!

p22
>...Yeah!
>You're right.
>Let's go! Like we always do!
>...Yep.

p23
>In the end,
>what we've learned so far is only a fraction of our memories.

>But
>if there's one thing we've learned...

p24
>it's that this world
>might very well be the future
>that our past selves wished for.

p25
>Even if it doesn't become one,
>even if it changes,

>there will still be things that connect with each other.

>The world will keep on going.

p26
>"Reincarnation"!
>And tomorrow,
>our "daily life" will begin anew.
