2: He...
3: ...got away?

PAGE 10:

1: Wh-What... // What the hell are you!?
2: Please lower your gun, Sugita-san.
3: But Ichijo!
4: He saved our lives.
5: Sakurako-san!
6: Are you all right!?
7: ...... // I don't see any external wounds, but we'll have to have a doctor take a look at her.
8: Detective, please!
9: Call an ambulance for her!
10: R-Right...

PAGE 11:

1: That's right...
2: (bubbleless) C'mon, you gotta
3: (bubbleless) Keep a sturdier grip!
4: (bubbleless) You have to be more
5: (bubbleless) Gentle with her, Detective!
6: That form he took // when he rescued us.
7: It was...
8: The same as the Unidentified Lifeforms.

PAGE 12:

1: Bugo... (Damn you...)
2: Kuuga...!
3: Jyara Gijyaga... (How dare he get in the...)
4: De!? (Way!?)

PAGE 13:

1: Baze Badedebi Gegeru Zajireda? (Why did you start the Gegeru without permission?)
2: Baruba!?
3: Ga...ah...
4: Padagipa Kyobagida Godoge Bagi (I don't recall giving you any instructions to begin.)
5: G-Gisababadada... (I-I did not realize that...)
6: Ginmanzegasu Goragegu (The judge had)
7: Babugegi Gidegida Bodozo... (already awakened...)

PAGE 14:

1: Goragebi (You)

PAGE 15:

1: Gengin Gibabupa Bagi (Have no right to be called a warrior.)

PAGE 16:

1: Guah...ahh...!
2: Ah... // ...Ahhh...
3: Is she all right, // Tsubaki?

PAGE 17:

1: Yeah.
2: Here's the results of my examination.
3: Nothing out of the ordinary was found...?
4: Are you sure about this?
5: Of course.
6: In fact, she's the perfect example of what a healthy body should be like.
7: Really!?
8: Thank goodness!!!

PAGE 18:

1: I'm pretty sure // I told you to stay in the waiting room.
2: C'mon, there's no way I'd be able to just sit there!
3: Who's this guy, Ichijo?
4: Oh, right. // It's kind of a long story.
5: Sakurako-san's tougher than she looks!
6: ...... // As for that Unidentified Lifeform's "poison"...
7: I can only assume that she already had some kind of antibody towards it.
8: That's the only conclusion I can come to right now.
9: An antibody...?
10: Is something like that really possible...?
11: Anti...body?

PAGE 19:

1: It's essentially something in your body that pushes away and shows resistance to anything it deems harmful, like poisons or viruses.
2: (bubbleless) Are you really a university student?
3: Oh, I see now! // Antibody, huh?
4: (bubbleless) Sakurako-san's really something else.
5: So
6: Why does Sakurako-san have something like that?
7: ...Well, I can come up with numerous reasons as to why, but...
8: You don't even know what an antibody is. // What point is there in you asking?
9: Anyway, one more thing, Tsubaki.
10: (bubbleless) C'mon, Ichijo-san.
11: You didn't have to just brush me off like that.
12: While you're at it, I want you to take a look at this guy's body too.
13: Huh?

PAGE 20:

1: Hahaha // Seriously, Ichijo-san?
2: I'm as healthy as could be!
3: Just come here.
4: Ow... // That hurts, you know.
5: Godai. // Just who are you?
6: Are you affiliated with the Unidentified Lifeforms?
7: ...Or are you actually an Unidentified Lifeform yourself!?
8: H-//Hold on a sec here, Ichijo-san!

PAGE 21:

1: I'm...
2: Kuuga!

PAGE 22:

1: Didn't I tell you already?
2: I've inherited the ability to transform and protect those who I want to protect from some guy.
3: When he passed it on to me, he told me it was "Kuuga's fate".
4: It was like something just went "whoosh" on my waist right here...

PAGE 23:

1: W- // Was it a guy in bandages!?
2: Huh?
3: You've met with the guy before?
4: Kuuga...
5: Now that I think about it, that one Unidentified Lifeform that was defeated said the same thing...
6: But, you know,
7: There's something different between me and him...
8: Ah!

PAGE 24:

1: It's almost time for my part-time job. // I gotta go!
2: H- // Hold on a minute!
3: Hey!
4: You should stop by sometime, Ichijo-san!
5: The curry there's the best!
6: (bubbleless) The oriental flavor and scent is out of this world!

PAGE 25:

1: He used the // strength he inherited...
2: To protect me, who's very purpose
3: Is to protect others.

PAGE 26:

1: sign on pillar: Jounan University
2: You look like you've recovered completely.
3: Sign: Archeology Research Department
4: Yes.
5: It's been three days since I was discharged, after all.
6: In fact, you look even more healthy than you were before the incident.
7: Oh, excuse me. // I didn't mean to bring that back up...
8: No,
9: It's fine.

PAGE 27:

1: It's because of that that I realized what I should be doing.
2: The Unidentified Lifeforms that you're chasing down // and the incident at the Kurougatake Ruins...
3: If the research Dr. Manabe and I have made helps in any way at all with discovering the truth between their relationship,
4: I would be more than pleased to share it with you.
5: Thank you very much. // There's actually one thing I've been meaning to ask...
6: Who exactly is Yusuke Godai?

PAGE 28:

1: Huh? // What made you bring him up?
2: (bubbleless) chuckle
3: He may have just ended up being caught up in the incident, but nonetheless he remains related to it.
4: But I can't seem to figure out anything about him...
5: Is he someone that can prove to be trustworthy? // Or...
6: If it's Yusuke-kun, you have nothing to worry about.
7: Hmm... // I suppose I'll tell you about something that happened during our time as students here together.
8: Godai managed to convince me to join an investigation team I would have never shown interest in on my own.
9: One day we went mountain climbing in the snow as part of a school trip.

PAGE 29:

1: And an accident occurred.
2: G-Godai-kun...!
3: Don't worry, Sakurako-san!
4: Everything's going to be all right!
5: Of course, that was a complete lie.

PAGE 30:

1: It's completely unrealistic to think one could drag up someone dangling in the air like that...
2: It's not like he was some kind of hero in a drama.
3: At the time, it took all he could to even hold onto my hand, // let alone carry me back up.
4: But...
5: Oh, that's right, Sakurako-san.
6: How about we play a game of Shiritori?
T/L Note: Shiritori is a Japanese word game that involves chaining words together that start with the syllable that the previous word ended with.

PAGE 31:

1: What...
2: What are you saying // at a time like this...!?
3: It's because we're in this situation that I'm saying this!
4: I'm...going to fall. // ...I can't...go on...
5: Then I'll go first!
6: ...Gorilla!
7: G-Gorilla...
8: ...R-Ramen...
T/L Note: Gorilla->Gorira
9: Ramen? // C'mon, you can't let the game end so fast like that!
T/L Note: It's game over if you use a word that ends with the "n" syllable.
10: You gotta put some more spirit into this...!
11: Y-//You say that, but...
12: All right, let's do this again!

PAGE 32:

1: Here we go! ...Tanuki!
2: T-Tanuki...Kinpira...
T/L Note: Kinpara -> chopped up vegetables
3: Kinpira... Ramen! // Aww, dammit! I screwed up...
4: G-Godai-kun... Let go of my hand... // At this rate, both of us are going to...
5: What are you saying!? We aren't done with our game of Shiritori yet! // C'mon, you go first this time!
6: Te... // Tenraku...
T/L Note: Tenraku -> literally death by falling
7: No no no! // Choose something more positive!
8: You do it then... // I can't... // think of anything...
9: All right then, here I go! // Oh, how about...

PAGE 33:

1: Tenkoku!
T/L Note: Tenkoku -> Heaven
2: ...Tenkoku? That's your idea of positive?
3: Oh, right.
4: Pfft
5: I couldn't help but laugh upon hearing that...
6: (bubbleless) Ahahahaha

PAGE 34:

1: Right after that, our team members were able to rescue us, but...
2: I'm sure if it wasn't for that game of Shiritori, I wouldn't have been able to make it...
3: That's why,
4: If it's Yusuke-kun, you have nothing to worry about.
5: Even if it doesn't look that way all the time.
6: Shiritori, huh...?

PAGE 35:

1: Hahahahahahahaha!
2: Yusuke!
3: Yes?

PAGE 36:

1: I got a delivery for you!
2: Three curries for Kimura Shoukai at District 4!
3: Got it!
4: All right // Here we go
5: Uwahhh!
6: 11:53 Bunkyou Ootsuka District 3

PAGE 37:

1: Kyahhhh!
2: 12:11 Bunkyou Koishikawa District 4

PAGE 38:

1: What should we have for lunch?
2: Hmm...
3: Kyah!
4: Uwahh!

PAGE 39:

1: The weather's nice as always today!
2: Our curry is delicious! // Hehehe
3: 12:19 Bunkyou Hongou District 4
4: I can't wait to get back and eat my free curry for the day!

PAGE 40:

1: Hey! That guy just dropped from the sky!
2: call an ambulance!
3: Call the police! // The police!

PAGE 41:

1: ...Fell from the sky...?

PAGE 42:

1: It's an...
2: Unidentified Lifeform!!
