Chapter 7: Setting the plan in motion

Page 208
Higashi: If I must die...
Higashi: I'd rather die in Summer.

Page 209
Higashi: Because heat allows corpses to decay faster.
Higashi: In less than a week, my body won't be recognizable anymore.
Higashi: I only have this Summer to put my plan into action!

Page 210
Higashi: Because next Summer, it'll be too late already... simply because Maho will be a 3rd year...
Higashi: And she will be too busy studying for college entrance exams.
Higashi: August of this year is thus the best moment.
Higashi: If I'm killed early August, Obon will come quickly.
(T/N: Obon is an annual Buddhist event for commemorating one's ancestors, commonly celebrated around August 15th)
Higashi: Lots of people will leave on holiday, thus lowering the odds my body is discovered.
Higashi: Meanwhile, it will have time to decay well.

Higashi: August (x16)

Letter of Resignation
Higashi: Please,  accept it.
Principal: A... Are you sure about this...
Principal: Higashiyama-sensei?
Higashi: Yes.
Higashi: I'm really sorry.
Higashi: But I insist on quitting by the end of the first trimester.
T/N: Since the school year starts in April, the first trimester finishes at the end of July

Page 213
Teacher: To go take care of his parents, you say?
Teacher: Yes, apparently.
Teacher: Can you believe it?
Teacher: But the worst thing is to resign in the middle of the year...
Teacher: It's completely irresponsible!
Teacher: I agree.
Higashi: Now, I can no longer back out.

Satsuki: Haru...
Satsuki: Higashiyama-sensei.
Satsuki: Is that true...
Satsuki: that you are resigning?
Higashi: Yes.

Page 215
Satsuki: Moreover, I hear it's to go take care of your parents.
Satsuki: Is that a joke?
Higashi: No.
Higashi: W...
Higashi: What?
Satsuki: I know you're lying, Haruto!
Satsuki: That whole "going to take care of my parents" is bullshit.
Satsuki: First, because I know your brother is living with them.
Satsuki: And most of all, because I know that during college, you didn't go back visit them even once.

Page 216
Satsuki: I'm even confident that you didn't call them once since then.
Satsuki: Am I wrong?
Higashi: Ha ha...
Higashi: I decidedly can't hide anything from you, Satsuki...
Higashi: It's true that I haven't seen my parents in more than 15 years.
Higashi: And they haven't called me in at least 10 years.
Higashi: I chose to use that excuse publicly...
Higashi: But actually, it's because I'm going on a trip.
Satsuki: A trip?

Page 217
Higashi: India... Nepal... Thailand...
Higashi: I plan on traveling until I run out of money...
Higashi: It may seem strange to you at my age, but I decided to get to know myself at last.
Higashi: You think it's stupid?
Higashi: Heh Heh!
Higashi: Actually, I also think it is.
Satsuki: He's different than usual.
Satsuki: His gaze is strange.

Page 218
Satsuki: It looks like...
Satsuki: He's possessed, that he's living in his own world...
Higashi: That way, no one will be suspicious if I vanish overnight.
Higashi: Knowing I'm traveling, no one will think about filing a missing person report.

Page 219
Higashi: Tsk...
Higashi: A trip...
Higashi: Yes...
Higashi: A trip...
Higashi: A long... very long one...

July 18th 2014, End Of First Trimester Ceremony
Principal: Don't indulge yourselves, always have in mind, even in vacation...
Principal: that you represent Nitaka Highschool.
Principal: And finally...
Principal: I wanted to make an announcement.
Principal: After four years of excellent work among us, the teacher of History, Geography and Civic Education, Higashiyama-sensei...
Principal: Is quitting as of today.

Page 221
Student: What? Is it a joke?
Student: Higashi is quitting?!
Yukio: Uh?

Page 222
Higashi: I'm sorry...
Higashi: For this abrupt announcement.
Higashi: I decided to go back urgently in the countryside to take care of my parents.
Higashi: However, I wish to pursue the researches we started...
Higashi: Until I leave mid-August, around Obon.
Higashi: So, we will continue our researches....
Higashi: During this Summer vacations, as planned.

Maho: Haa
Maho: Haa

Page 224
Kaori: Let's leave, Aoi.
Aoi: Poyo.
Yukio: But...
Yukio: Maho?!
Higashi: ...
Yukio: Maho!
Yukio: Are you all right, Maho?
Yukio: You don't look good!

Page 225
Kaori: Hey there...
Kaori: Yukio...
Yukio: Uh?
Aoi: She's not...
Aoi: The Maho you know, Poyo.
Yukio: What is she saying?
Yukio: That girl isn't right in the head.
Kaori: You better believe her, she's right!
Kaori: I am Kaori!

Page 226
Yukio: Kaori?
Yukio: Are you crazy, Maho?
Yukio: Who's that Kaori?
Kaori: Raah, he already pisses me off!
Kaori: The shock of the news about sensei leaving made her consciousness retreat.
Kaori: So she's not here anymore!
Kaori: I came out in her place.
Yukio: What do you mean, "came out"?
Yukio: Are you playing a role, or what?
Kaori: Not at all!
Aoi: Sometimes, Maho turns into Kaori, like now, Poyo.


Page 227
Aoi: When she feels pain or a shock, Kaori comes out in Maho's place, Poyo.
Aoi: Maybe she's a bit rude, but Kaori is someone really nice and strong, Poyo.
Yukio: I heard about this on TV or manga!
Yukio: Isn't that called a multiple personality disorder?
Kaori: How would I know!
Yukio: Say, Maho...
Yukio: Or rather, Kaori...
Yukio: Since when are you inside her?
Kaori: Hmm...
Kaori: Maho thinks you're a good person...
Kaori: So I can trust you and tell you about it.

Page 228
Kaori: What I'm going to tell you...
Kaori: You must never ever tell it to Maho, Ok?
Yukio: O...
Yukio: Ok.
2001 - 4 years old Maho
Maho: Waah...(x7, ie crying...)

Page 229
Kaori: Since childhood, the relationship between Maho's parents was always terrible.
Kaori: Her father often hit her too...
Maho: It hurts!
Maho: It huurts!

Page 230
Kaori: Before long, her mother started to drink early in the morning...
Kaori: And to also beat Maho.
Maho: Waah...
Maho: Stop it...
Maho: I beg you.
Kaori: Denying this reality...
Kaori: She sought to retreat inside herself.

Page 231
Kaori: Maho isn't conscious I exist.
Kaori: On the other hand, I know everything about her.
Kaori: As soon as Maho feels sad...
Kaori: I come out and try to protect her!

Page 232
Satsuki in Yukio's mind: You should continue to stay around Maho, like you did until now.
Satsuki in Yukio's mind: She's really vulnerable at the moment.
Yukio: So, that's what...
Yukio: Satsuki-sensei was talking about...
Kaori: Say, Yukio...
Kaori: Are you still in love with Maho?
Yukio: Y... Yes...
Yukio: Ah right, she knows I confessed...
Kaori: Then, don't give up.
Kaori: Sure, Maho likes her teacher...

Page 233
Kaori: But actually, she also has feelings for you.
Yukio: Uh?
Kaori: The problem is, she doesn't trust herself, because of that dreadful incident...
Kaori: So she thinks you won't be strong enough for her.
Kaori: Maybe this teacher...
Kaori: Could save her...
Kaori: But...
Yukio: A dreadful incident?
Yukio: What's this about?
Kaori: Crap...
Kaori: I said too much...

Page 234
Kaori: Ah... She's coming back!
Kaori: See ya soon, Yukio!

Page 235
Maho: Oh...
Maho: Yukio...
Maho: Was I sleeping?!
Yukio: Uh?
Yukio: Err yes...
Yukio: Her voice and her expression changed completely!
Yukio: So it wasn't a role she was playing...
Yukio: Hot damn...
Yukio: So it truly exists in reality!

Page 236
Yukio: Boohoo...
Yukio: Boohoo...
Yukio: Poor...
Yukio: Maho...
Yukio: She's so pitiful....
Yukio: Boohoo...
Yukio: Boohoo...
