Gakuen Alice Chapter 84

Aug 02, 2007 20:20

Comments are appreciated :)

The chapter opened with Luna's last words,

"Anyway, they will be pulled apart by destiny afterall...faraway..."

Natsume wanted to say something but was cut by Luna,

"Well, it is going to turn out that way anyway. However, whether or not she (Mikan) would be that happy afterall is another story..."

Luna then walked away but Natsume went after her, "Wait, you bastard" (< Natsume said "kono yarou" actually~ "kono" means "this" while "yarou" means "bastard"... but if i were to translate the meaning literally, it would make no sense~ So i left it that way xD)

The scene changes to Mikan and company going for lunch~
She was looking very forward to the lunch menu only to know that each lunch menu was different according to the different star rankings. She was very disappointed after looking at what Hotaru will be eating. But that was nothing compared with having to eat with Jin-Jin xD (Apparently he was STILL very unpleased with the 'cosplay' incident xD)

Then, Ruka came over~~ (some students at the back were asking him to join them for lunch)

RUKAxMIKAN fans please rejoice!!!!

RUKA ASKED MIKAN FOR LUNCH TOGETHER!!!!

Mikan was happy about it because she thought it would be more fun having Ruka in her company of friends for lunch~~ That also, attracted some attention at the back.

However, friends whom Mikan were suppose to have lunch together with, Kokoroyomi-kun, Kitsuneme-kun, Hotaru-chan and Iinchou immediately packed and wanted to leave the 2 of them together for lunch.

Both Kokoroyomi & Kitsuneme made a 'stop' sign with their hands saying that "because they were the duo in amongst the rumours~~"

Mikan was puzzled by the words they said. But she continued persuading her friends to eat with her. However...

Kitsuneme, "I said no~~ Madam~~" (<< in that case, Kokoroyomi said 'Oku-san', meaning wife of somebody in Japanese)

At the back of Kitsuneme's shirt printed, "The first step to Ruka-pyon's adulthood"

"We just saw the good setting of the both of you earlier~~~"

"We didn't want to get involve~~~~ Ohohohohohohoho~~~~"

At the back of Kokoroyomi's shirt printed, "Appeared~~~"

Kokoroyomi continued,

"Because you see, Ruka-pyon acted like as though he was confessing his love earlier~~~ (some small letters printed in the speech bubble said "Today's Kokoroyomi is Kuuki-yomi ("air"-reader; in this case, 'air' refers to 'atmosphere')"

After Kokoroyomi said that, some students were disccusing if they were already a pair... Hotaru seems concerned when she turned and looked the two behind...

"By the way, where's Natsume?" asked Mikan (NatsumeXMikan fans scream!!!!!).
She felt uneasy that people's eyes were on them as she and Ruka were together.

"Ah! No no no!! I am not saying that i want to have lunch with him!!! Just that... i thought if he's not with Ruka-pyon, perhaps he would be eating alone.... i wonder where he would be eating at..."

"Natsume is...." said a voice from behind, "If you're looking for Natsume.... he chased after Luna and the both of them disappeared to somewhere..."

"PERM!!!!" shouted Mikan.

"I.AM.SO.PISSED. THAT LUNA!" continued Sumire.

Both Mikan and Ruka were shocked to see her talk.

"To think that that girl can make Natsume go after her! Just what kind of trick did she use?!"

Mikan was surprised to hear that from Sumire.

"Natsume-kun too!! Just what is so nice about that girl???!!!!.... right now i bet the 2 of them are together..." Sumire added.

Mikan was sad after hearing that.

Then, Sumire turned to the both Ruka and Mikan and said, "BY.THE.WAY. Rumours about the two of you are going out went into my ears...COULD.IT.BE...?"

"How could it be?? explained Mikan, very shocked.

"Oh is it? Then it's ok," said Sumire.

She then joined the rest for lunch together.

Little did Mikan and the rest knew that Natsume was only behind them. He has been hiding and watching from behind.

Meanwhile, there was an announcement made to gather participants for the next sports item - Item-Borrowing Run

Natsume was still looking at Ruka and Mikan from where he was standing. He saw how happy Mikan was with Ruka and he was reminded of how Ruka called Mikan earlier after his run, made him wanted to hide himself from them. He saw a random on the bench near him, he picked up the mask and put it on.

That mask that Natsume had on his face was an ALICE mask belonging to a student, Kusami. (Poor boy... he could not find his mask!!!!)

Just then, a boy kicked Natsume from behind the minute after Natsume had the mask on.

"OI YOU! That participant over there! Where do you think you're going??!! Go and get ready now!!!"

(ROFL!) Yeap! Kusami was suppose the participant for the next item but because Natsume's and his hairstyles were about the same, it was no difference on the outside as to who is whom.

Natsume was pissed with that boy's attitude (hahah~ because he kicked him!!)

"That mask.. You must be Kusami-kun from the Junior department! Quickly go and queue together with the other participants!!" and that boy threw Natsume over with the other participants.

Item-Borrowing Race?, Natsume thought. He was very lost as to what had just happened. (KAWAII~!!)

"The Item-Borrowing Race will now commence! Rules are simple, in the middle of the route, there will be a box with lots. Participants will have to borrow the item, be it a human or a thing, and run together with the borrowed item to the goal line! That's it!"

Just then, friends of Kusami mistook Natsume for him came over to him to wish him luck. One of them gave Natsume a hit at the back while the other called him an idiot because he was 'daydreaming'.

Natsume was very unpleased with their attitude that one of them said,

"What...what is with this sense of danger aura...?"

Natsume then began thinking on his own and figured who Kusami was. He was the owner of that mask.
Now that he was more calm, he looked around at the other participants. They include, Misaki-sensei, Serina-sensei, Subaru and the rest.

Natsume went "..." after looking around. (HAHAHAHA XD)

"HOWEVER!!! As expected of ALICE Academy! The paper used for the lot is specially designed in a way that the item to be borrowed will be the thing that will not be an easy thing for the participant to borrow! For example, to a participant that has a teacher he hates, he would have to bring the teacher here and run to the goal line with him!

After the item was borrowed, whatever that was written on the paper will be revealed in a form of fireworks in the school. The judges will judge if the results were 'acceptable', 'somehow' or 'not acceptable' based on the fireworks!

If the result was 'acceptable', the team receives 50 points!
If the result was 'somhow', the team receives 10 points!
If the result was 'no acceptable', the team loses 10 points! "

Upon hearing that, Natsume had a funny expression on his face. In his heart he was imagining the words written on the paper to be exploded into the air as fireworks. He thought, what's with this race? i should slip myself out soon...

Unfortunately...

"Where did you think you're going?" said someone.

"Let the race begin!" said the announcer (i love you! xDD)

"Aren't you getting ready?" continued that boy who stopped Natsume. (i love you too xDD)

At the same time, Mikan and friends had made it to watch the race.
They saw Misaki-sensei, Serina-sensei and Yuri-senpai running in the race.

Ruka was wondering where Natsume had gone to.
Oh well, Ruka-pyon, Natsume was in the race~~ (Mikan spotted Subaru running~~)

It was about time for the 2nd lane runners to run~
Natsume was very pissed. (LOL~)

In the meantime, this is the position of the runners in the race:

1- Misaki-sensei
2- Yuri-sama (<< i wonder why '-sama')
3- XX-Kun
4- Serina-sensei

And the teachers drew their lots!
The things that they had to borrow...

Misaki-sensei - Erai Chibi (literally translated = Great Midget)
Serina-sensei - Uzai Douryou (literally translated = Annoying Colleague)
Yuri-senpai - a girl that loves girls
XX-kun - a baldy's wig used to hide his baldy head

The first thing that came to each's minds (XX-kun was not mentioned, because he is just a random anoymous character) were

Misaki-sensei - School's principal (that shortie xD)
Serina-sensei - JIN-JIN! (he IS really that annoying eh?)
Yuri-senpai - i can't remember the name, but it was that girl in the Flower Party that drooled at the sight of Hotaru xD

All of them were stunned to see what they have seen~
All of them felt that that piece of paper had no mercy at all....

They had no choice but to run and borrow the items written on each piece of paper~~

Meantime, the other runners had reached the middle point of the race.

This time, Subaru was the first to pick his lot.
He was shocked to see, "The number 1 most loved younger sister" on his paper.
He was stoned there for some time while Hotaru, seemed to know what was written on that piece of paper let out a scary laughter that frightened Mikan. At the same time, Misaki-sensei approached Iinchou, asking him for help~

Then, Natsume picked his lot.

He looked at it and remembered the way Ruka called out to Mikan ealier in the race.

Just then, the other runners had reached the goal line one by one.
Instead of pulling who the runners had thought of at first, they picked 'substitutes'

Serina-sensei picked Narumi (poor Narumi!! He was so happy and wondering why Serina-sensei picked him!),
Misaki-sensei picked Iinchou,
Yuri-senpai picked Yamauchi (poor Yuri-senpai... she was apologising and apologising when the fireworks of the words written on the piece of paper appeared in the sky xD)
XX-Kun picked someone with HAIR wearing a wig (that boy he picked was crying after he saw the results.. *pats pats*

The panel of judges (Kokoroyomi was one of them~~) gave the teachers 10 points each while XX-kun loses 10 points~

Subaru was still stoning and Hotaru was looking at him.

Just then, someone came and pulled Mikan away. It was NATSUME!!!!!
He was pulling Mikan and running with her to the goal line!

Mikan was surprised and wondered who that person was.

Both of them crossed the line, and the words on the paper exploded into pretty fireworks in the air.....
It read,

*please breathe a lot a lot people*

SUKI NA HITO [SOMEONE [I] LIKED] (≧▽≦ Way to go Natsume!)

The announcer thought that the masked guy was Kusami and was excited to see that all-time favourite item in this race!

However, Ruka somehow knew that that person was Natsume from his back view.

The judges gave Natsume's results a perfect! The announcer then continued saying that his love confession was a success! (HAHAHAAHAH~!)

Natsume then ran away. Mikan was still wondering who that person was until she caught a glimpse of Natsume's earrings. (NATSUMEXMIKAN FANS!!!!!! LET'S GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!)

Natsume ran towards the building and Mikan was going after him.
In that building, Kusami saw Natsume.

"Wait! My imposter! I saw everything!!! Return my..."

*PA!*

Natsume slapped Kusami's mask onto his face.

"Ah, wait!"Kusami continued

But Natsume ran away.

Mikan finally caught up but Natsume was still too fast for her.

"WAIT!" she shouted.

Could it be, she thought.

At that important junction, Kusami sneezed...
That's right, Kusami's ALICE was "Storm-like Sneezing" and it was so powerful that he needed an ALICE mask to control it, he was without his mask when he sneezed, thus Mikan was 'blown' away by him.

Mikan fell unconscious but when she woke up, she found herself surrounded by Hotaru and friends.

She asked about the Item-Borrowing Race, Hotaru said,

"It was over. Red Team won,"

"Heh?" said Mikan.

" It was discovered that some mystery person instead of the original runner had run the race. As penalty, the team lost,"

However, because that piece of paper that Natsume had picked, representing a love confession, during the race was left over, everyone was dying to find out who that runner was.

Somehow Mikan had a feeling that it was Natsume...

Everyone's hearts was left with something by the culprit, but the culprit himself was still hiding away in the forest...

END.

Chapter 85 will be published on 20 August, HanaYume Vol. 18
