Title: 67 / Hello abyss / Whereabouts of the Soul
Page 1:
Text at the top: Sixth layer of the depths, Capital of the Unreturned ----A while ago.
1- Heey, I could do with one of those. / Don't feel like trying out the carnivore types? But my instinct says we could go for it. / Heey, what'dya think? You look like you wanna get a taste of 'em.
2- Cease your incessant, whispery rambling. / It's irritating, Dickcheese.

Page 2:
1- Oh c'mon, I've got a name, and it happens to be Neyozel.
3- Dickcheese ouut.
[Hail Hex Cook] / [Neyozel]
[Umbra hand Combat Squad Captain "Shroud"] / [Rimeyo]
4- We are down wind, as such, we will go around them, don't stray too far.
5- Roger/ roger.
6- Rimeyo-san, I think you should be buttering me up a bit more than that. / I'm the one who'll be making the meals here, / and you can't even light a proper fire by yourself, after all.
7- Did the meaning of "silence" register at all with you?

Page 3:
Depth's sixth layer, Capital of the Unreturned
Chalk Dam - Inner Area
1- This thing again?
[Type 4 Energy Rations]
2- I'm telling you, all this stuff's good for is crushing it and using the crumbs as a coating.
3- For, like, fried food.
4- Come ooon. / Rimeyo-chan, you made it all the way to Shroud through sheer battle prowess, right?
5- And yet you haven't done any hunting. / Which means I can't cook at all. / How are we gonna show off our good points here?
6- Seems like something happened...

Page 4:
1- Huh, what? What do you mean?
2- .........
3- Talk to me dude, I'm getting lonely here~~
4- Inside the mask?
5- Bug got in?
*knock knock*
6-The "Roar Sign"(Beacon) has gone cold.
7- Seems there's been some commotion at Ido Front.
8- Roar...what??
9- What the what is that?
10- Roar Sign.
11- Utilizing the Umbra Hands scattered about, we send and receive our consciousness.
12- Our own unique method of sharing information
13- The fifth and sixth layers have been severed from each other.

Page 5:
1- Which means?
2- We cannot expect support from Sir Bondrewd in the meantime.
*Since we cannot pull the trigger*
3- Oh~~
4- Right, you guys all got Dawn-san inside you. / Then that means we're left stranded?
5- Pretty oya oya, huh.
6- That's way too oya oya.
7- Oya oya oya~
*Irritated tin can*
8- What about you, then?
9- The Lord of Mystery can sense you, right?
10- Pretty much~!

Page 6:
1- The leader can sense the "Beast Stone" inside of me.
2- Even if I'm/ pretty far, like right now, you know?
2- The *awakening organ* said to be near a Juusou's heart...
3- Though, it should be noted we didn't even open you up to take a look at it. / So, is it actually there?
4- It is!!
5- I got stabbed with this massive needle
6- So you could confirm!!
7- The tip of it went like... this/ and tore into my fleshy bits / IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!

Page 7:
1- Actually! Rimeyo-chan, how come they didn't share that with you!?
2- Are you being left out!?
?
3- I didn't remember.
4- Since I wasn't that interested in babysitting you, Dickcheese.
5- You bitch!
6- Guarding me is your job, right!
7- Work dammit!
8- Well, I volunteered, since I would be able to delve into the final boundary.
9- Sigh...
10- It would've been so much more fun without you.
11- C'MOOOON!!
12- At least sugarcoat it a little! / Leaaadeeeer~ / Hurry up and find me~

Page 8:
1- About that...
2- Aren't you presumed dead?
3- "Leave this to me and go"
4- You went and said that then got done in.
*Gueee* (Twink jobbing)
5- I would have bust out laughing were we not in front of Sir Bondrewd.
6- Hey, your way of referring to him is also pretty funny.
7- It was that weird curtain! / It cut me off from leader's white whistle. / Yet the altar went off all the same.. / Rimeyo-san you're so mean. / I'm just cold Dickcheese. / aaaaaw.../ They must have left me and gone to the 7th layer already or something...

Page 9:
1- Break is over, / you get ready too.
2- What about that Roar-whatever?
3- I believe in Sir Bondrewd.
4- That wild abandon of Hail Hex,/ it wouldn't be odd for them / to have already gone through the 6th layer like you feared.
5- I'm in suspense(she literally means she's getting excited and feels the need to rush ahead, still open to suggestion)
6- Our priority is the search for the Lord of Mystery and the so called "Priestess".
7- Doesn't the very thought make you excited?
8- About what?
*I'm happy about the enthusiasm though*

Page 10-11:
1- It's the 7th Layer.
2- The unattainable dream of delvers.
3- Don't you want to see it, after having come this far?
> Depth's seventh layer
> The Final Maelstrom
> Provisional name: Tide of Light
> ---Present.

Page 12:
1- There's more and more of this sizzling stuff.
2- What could it be? Is it the flow of some different gas?
3- It's flowing along a band of the force field.
4- Be careful,/ might be some kind of poison that drops you in the blink of an eye.
5- Even then, I'm still curious.
6- Look, / There are even some creatures in the sizzling stuff.
*bloopy sounds and shrieks*

Page 13:
1- Let's confirm.
2- We may have to continue into one of these...
3- A branch sosu.
4- Yeah.
5- Let's confirm with this first. / I don't wanna get stinky anymore...
6- Woah!
7- Frost, huh. This means-
8- A temperature difference!? It's pretty extreme.
9- I'm gonna try getting in it,/ since it doesn't stink.

Page 14:
1-How is it?
fuzzy blurry text
2- I have no idea what he's saying!
3- Fafuu---
4- Pamuuusuu
5- What'cha lookin' at?
6- Delightful.
7- I was curious about how you made it so far being only children.
8- You're dividing up the roles.

Page 15:
1- In charge of Curiosity.
2- In charge of Operations.
3- In charge of Brains and Vigilance.
4- ?
5- SHAAAN!!
6- A question from Riko, the one in charge of curiosity.
7- What is it!

Page 16:
1- What are "souls"?
2- Hmph.
3- Nishagora! Tepaste! To the front.
4- Rogerrr
5- Sherumi, Menae. / Come between me and Nishagora.
6- Roger!
7- Yataramar, / take care of the rear.
8- Roger.

Page 17:
1- We're pressed for time.
2- So let's talk as we walk.
3- Riko, what brought your attention towards Souls?
4- Pue
5- Up until now, there's been this thing from time to time.
6- This feeling, like I've been touched by a soul or something...
7- Sosun
8- And Faputa said she can see them...
9- I can feel that souls *exist* and yet... I don't know what they are.
10- Even in the orphanage they used to tell us that souls
11- Returned to the bottom of the abyss and set off on a new journey.

Page 18:
1- Riko, have you ever gone outside the bounds of the abyss?
2- Outside...? Just to the beach to fish.
3- I mean much farther than that. To foreign countries, so to speak.
4- Can't say I have...
5- Then you can't help it.
6- When anyone born and raised here goes to the outside world,
7- they come upon a strange feeling that something's wrong.
8- They aren't there.
9- They?

Page 19:
1- What you recognize as the "Soul",
2- does not exist outside of the abyss.
3- Eh...?
4- What ...
5- Does that mean...?
6- What we call the spirit or mind. We don't know whether the soul in it's proper meaning exists.
7- However the "Soul" which occurs within the abyss,
8- Are signals of unknown origin which do exist.

Page 20:
1- The identification of life,
2- The propagation of consciousness,
3- The embodiment of curses and prayers,
4- The roles of these "Signals we call the Soul" are many.
5- In my opinion, the most important reason for the existence of the soul
6- Is *Pre-processing*
7- Pre-processing...?
8- Like blood draining?
9- Indeed.

Page 21:
1- The "Soul", through the invisible force field,
2- permeates into any and all that the Abyss touches.
3- The soul, overlaps with life, / and molds each individual's "Life-Insignia".
4- We are beings that have reached complete harmony with these souls originating from the abyss.
5- We are children of the Abyss, in a way.
6- Urgh....... That's a little out of left field......
7- We were just talking about the Pre-processing right...??
8- Having become one with life, the "Soul" holds a great expanse of information.
9- From relationships to memories... and even the unconscious.
10- !
11- Did you perhaps realize something?
12- It's been watching...

Page 22:
1- The Abyss has been watching us through the "Soul".
2- Everything we've received and given...!
3- "When we were born"
4- And even "When *we chose to treat as our birthday*"
5- Reg!
6- This is how the "Birthday-Death Disease" works!
7- !
8- I underestimated you!
9- You have quite the power of imagination.
10- I heard this Birthday-Death Disease.../ Has become quite the rumor on the surface.
11- Regardless of whether by some accident or disease, / they perish on their birthday for some reason.
12- One of the mysteries of the Abyss.

Page 23:
1- The true form of which, is the "Breath" written about in the original text.
2- A hidden curse which reaps lives.
3- Arriving every two thousand years. / A mass extinction event.
4- One which has now begun.
5- The conferring of a soul being a pre-process of it.

Page 24:
1- The Abyss does all that, then... Is the Abyss some kind of living creature...?
2- No clue!
3- The theory that this great pit is a living being or an amalgamation of them,
4- and the theory that it's an environment originating from Relics themselves, both exist.
5- We just don't know. / Nor do we know the source of these "Signals referred to as The Soul"
6- To learn that, we will have to reach the very deepest point.
7- Do you have a moment?
8- What is it, Nna-chan

Page 25:
1- Why are we all fine and dandy?
2- Time on the surface is going several times faster than here.
3- Our birthdays should have long since passed, right?
4- Have you already noticed, then?
5- Only that you don't have all your screws in place.
6- Hmph
7- .................
8- According to the original text, / "Only the flawed have a blind eye turned to them" / "Only the flawed may take a breath"
9- This selective process seems vulnerable to defective products.
10- And isn't *that* what we are?

Page 26:
> When I put you in there,
> you started to move.
> You're the same as that meat right?
1- It was a gift.../from the abyss...
2- It's true your soul is weird sosu.
3- Where did you come from?
4- From the surface~~
5- Fafuuuun
6- .../ Hey, Srajo.
7- Something else, then.
8- If... what you said about "Souls" is true...

Page 27:
1- Do you think revival
2- can happen?
3- It can't.
4- In my opinion... / You're talking about the resurrection of somebody whose physical body has been destroyed, correct?
5- A soul that has returned back to signals, / is much like a drop of water that has dissipated into the sea.
6- Even if you prepped the body by some means,
7- the revived would be someone entirely different.
8- There are methods like the "Life-reverberating Stone" which inherits the soul...
9- Those kinds of quasi-reincarnation are still *just the succession of a soul.*
10- ...../ That so?

Page 28
1- Nanachi! / It's still too soon to give up!
2- There you go again...
3- Full of confidence as always.
*nnaa---*
4- If anything, I'm more confident than before.

Page 29:
1- The Birthday-Death Disease,
2- And souls
3- They really existed!
4- But can you explain everything we've seen so far
5- with what we just talked about?
6- The "village"...!
7- Take a look at this princess!
8- Witness sosu!
9- She’s so clearly a living being and yet,
10- the curse doesn't even phase her! / Isn't that crazy!?

Page 30:
1- If that really is the case, / Then I really am just back to being clueless!
2- I beg your pardon!
3- Geez, and here I tried to keep it quiet...
4- Nanachi, lend me an ear,
5- "The Incinerator can overwrite the rules of the Netherworld."

Page 31:
1- You said it yourself, Nanachi.
2- Our adventure continues.
3- Let's go confirm the most nonsensical thing of all!
> Geez, you...
4- Heey!
> When you should be completely wrought with worry for those who are in the surface.
5- Riko! / You're one helluva girl.

Page 32:
1- Yaaaaay
2- Good for you, huh, Nnafluffy person./ Dunno what about, though.
3- Hm, what's with ya.
4- By they way...
5- Senpai's...
6- Don't fall behind Tepasteeee.
7- Mihya!
8- Right, right!
9- ?
10- .......!
11- Is she talking about the "Mythographer"...?

Page 33:
1- Riko, / You said you were given life by a Relic.
2- If you have felt it, then tell us.
3- It's said that the "soul" has an astonishing property
4- Waittttt
5- What's going on!?
6- Report, Nishagora.

Page 34:
1- I don't knowww, /I stopped because I don't knowww.
2- !?
3- There's nothing abnormal about the force field.../ What's going on...?
4- Nanachi! Something's weird! / I can't smell you!
*Nnaa?*
5- You're upwind and I can't smell you...!
6- Something's... strange!

Page 35:
!
1- A Sensory Anti-phase!? (Unsure of this translation, might revise)
2- It's a Katchaba! (Maelstrom Danger Zone)
3- Everyone stand ready!
4- What...? Sensory Anti-phase...?
5- A negation of senses!?
6- But...
7- Is there someone that can even do *that* to the force field...?

no text, bunny eats shit

> Why did I save them!?
