Chapter 3 - The Conspiracy of the Izawa Corps

PAGE 49(right):

1: Wha?!
2: W-Who the hell are you...?! Hey!!

PAGE 49(left):

1: Gwah!!
2: Hmph...
3: Hanatsubaki High School Second Year Class F, Suzuki Kikuo, heavily wounded...

PAGE 50(right):

1: W-What’d you say?! You want to transfer?!
2: Yeah... I already asked around three other schools about it, but they all turned me down...
3: Obviously!!
4: Huh?! What do you mean?!

PAGE 50(left):

1: Because this is Hanatsubaki High School!!
2: Huh?
3: This is basically the final stop out of every single high school in Japan.
4: (right sign) Good
5: (bus) Grades
6: (left sign) Bad
7: Once you’re at the final stop, there’s no turning back, since the bus won’t be coming back for you.
8: Wha?
9: Whaaat?!

PAGE 51(right):

1: So you’re saying that no matter which high school I go to, they’ll turn me down?!
2: That’s exactly right!!
3: You can go all the way north to Hokkaido, or you can go all the way south to Okinawa...
4: but they’ll all turn you down!! Hehehehehehehe ♥
5: Ahhhhh! H-How could this happen to me?!
6: M-My life is over now...

PAGE 51(left):

1: Hey! C’mon, Hiropon! Why do you always instantly look down?
2: You gotta look up!
3: Up at this beautiful sky that stretches on endlessly!!

PAGE 52(right):

1: You’ll receive divine punishment if you act all gloomy on a day with such good weather!!
2: Yeah, sure, if you look down all the time, you might find someone’s dropped wallet or something.
3: But if you keep living like that, you’ll never get to realize just how beautiful this huge sky is!!
4: You don’t wanna turn into that kind of person!!
5: ...At least, that’s what my gramps always told me...
6: Ah! There’s a wallet on the ground!

PAGE 52(left):

1: Don’t touch it!!
2: It’s mine! Don’t you dare touch it, damn it!!
3: Where is it?! Where?! Where?!
4: Wh-
5: I should probably avoid trusting this person...
6: Hahaha... Okay, you got me!!
7: I can’t let my guard down around this guy...

PAGE 53(right):

1: Hmm?
2: Heeey!! What’s the big rush for?
3: What happened?!
4: Oh, Sabu! Bad news!!
5: Kikuo got taken out last night!!
6: W-What?! // H-Hey, Hiropon! Let’s go!!
7: R-Right!!
8: I wonder at what point exactly I accepted just being called Hiropon...

PAGE 53(left):

1: God damn it!! That’s the 4th person so far!!
2: And they did it in the exact same way! And they’ve only been going after people from Class F!!
3: It’s gotta be the 3rd Year Izawa Corps behind this!!
4: What’re we gonna do about this, Riki?!

PAGE 54(right):

1: Don’t say stupid shit like that without actual evidence, idiot!
2: The 3rd Year Izawa Corps?
3: Well, to put it simply, they’re basically the guys standing at the top of Hanatsubaki...
4: What?! I always thought Saotome-kun was the boss of this place!
5: He will be eventually! But that’s not the case right now!!

PAGE 54(left):

1: So what, then?! We’re just supposed to stay quiet until they pick us off one by one?!
2: And Kikuo’s been one of my best buds ever since we were kids! You really think I can just let this fly?!
3: Kazu... Aren’t you gonna get expelled if you cause another incident?!
4: B-But still...!
5: Hmm?

PAGE 55(right):

1: I-Izawa!!
2: What?!
3: What’re you guys all freaking out for? We can hear you guys from all the way on the other side of the school ♥
4: Hmm?

PAGE 55(left):

1: This bastard...
2: Stop, Kazu!!
3: So I heard that 4 of you have been caught up in accidents, huh?
4: You guys gotta be careful when walking around outside, y’know...?

PAGE 56(right):

1: A-Accidents?! Don’t give me that shit!!
2: By the way, Riki... You seem to have been making a pretty big name for yourself with the guys from Tenbou...
3: “Hanatsubaki’s Riki”... // That’s what they call you, right?
4: Don’t ask me... I dunno who could’ve been spreading around that title.
5: What a nuisance...
6: ...It’s you, isn’t it?
7: Shut up!

PAGE 56(left):

1: I don’t really like it.
2: I’m sure you’re well aware of who’s in charge here at Hanatsubaki, right? No matter how hard you try, you’ll always just be “2nd Year Class F’s Riki”, right? Am I wrong?! Well?! C’mon, Riki-chan ♥
3: Hah!
4: Hehehe...
5: We might have to put you in your place if you keep acting all big ♥
6: Bastard...

PAGE 57(right):

1: Yo boss, where do you think you’re lookin’? If you wanna play a staring match with me, why don’t you at least take off those glasses, huh?!
2: What’d you say, punk?!
3: Who do you think you’re talking to right now?!

PAGE 57(left):

1: Hahahaha! Well, whatever.
2: Try to at least take care of your body, Riki!!
3: Be especially careful about getting caught up in traffic accidents ♥
4: Dahahaha!

PAGE 58(right):

1: S-So that’s the boss of Hanatsubaki?! That’s pretty much no different from an actual yakuza...!!
2: That’s exactly right!!
3: Huh?!
4: Izawa Shinji!! His big bro’s one of the top guys of a violent gang, so he’s basically already half yakuza!!
5: And he uses that as a way to just do whatever he wants, that bastard!!
6: The baldie with the hat was Taguchi, and the big guy with the tattoo on his left arm was Yamawaki!!
7: You don’t wanna mess with either of them!
8: It’s hard for me to admit it, but those guys basically run Hanatsubaki!!
9: M-Mom, Dad... my upperclassmen appear to be yakuza...

PAGE 58(left):

1: Damn it! Now that it’s come to this, we don’t got any other choice!
2: It’s time for an all-out war with the Izawa Corps vs 2nd Year Class F, right Riki?!
3: That’s right, Aniki!! Just calm down and think about this!! We’re gonna end up fighting those guys eventually, anyway!!
4: You’re the one that needs to calm down!!
5: Riki!
5: C’mon, Riki!
6: Tell us what to do, Aniki!!
7: H-Hey, now...
8: Riki!!
9: Riki! We gotta go to war with them!!
10: Hold on...
11: ...aren’t you?
12: Huh?!

PAGE 59(right):

1: You’re pretty much running away right now, aren’t you?!
2: Even you’d run away when knowing that your opponent’s stronger than you!!
3: H-Hiropon...
4: On that rainy day, you said to me “Don’t run away” as if it was really that simple!! Unlike me, your body’s pretty big, so you’d probably be able to hold your own against most people, but...
5: i-if I was as strong as you, I wouldn’t have ran away that day either!!

PAGE 59(left):

1: Hmm?
2: You...
3: You idiot!!
4: Oww!!
5: A-Aniki isn’t that kind of guy!! You’re just a damn new kid,
6: so don’t talk like you know everything!!

PAGE 60(right):

1: Hey, Riki!! Where you going?!
2: The bathroom.
3: A-
4: Aniki...
5: Damn it... The culprit’s someone riding a white scooter!!
6: A white scooter...
7: Yeah... that’s what Kikuo said...
8: As long as we can figure out who that is...

PAGE 61(right):

1: Wait, where are we going, Sabu-kun?!
2: Just shut up and follow me!!
3: We’re gonna find the culprit!!
4: Whaaat?!
5: Aniki’s the type of guy who doesn’t pick a fight unless he has 100% good reason to!!
6: If we can prove that Izawa and his gang were behind all this, you can bet your ass he’ll go beat the shit out of them!!
7: B-But why do I have to go with you?!
8: Stop being a baby about it and just come with me!!
9: No, I don’t want to!!
10: Shut up already, damn it!!

PAGE 61(left):

1: Move, move, move! Get outta the way!!
2: I-Izawa-san!!

PAGE 62(right):

1: This is bad! Riki’s underling Tanaka is going around asking about a white scooter!!
2: Oh?
3: Hah... So that RIki bastard’s finally making his move...
4: Keep an eye on that Tanaka guy!
5: Got it.

PAGE 62(left):

1: It’s finally time...
2: Our goal is to get the entire Class F to start a fight with us with Riki at the lead.
3: And then we’ll crush them all at once!!
4: Fights are something you’ve gotta do smartly and beautifully, y’know? ♥
5: We’d look real bad if other people found out us 3rd years crushed the 2nd year Riki for no good reason. It’s all about aesthetics ♥
6: But if they start a fight with us, then we’ll have no problem going all out on them!!
7: Then we just need to crush them completely!! That way there won’t be a single guy that’ll mention anything about a “white scooter”!!

PAGE 63(right):

1: Like they say, “dead men don’t talk”...!!
