Notes:
Starting from now, I'll be using [First name][Last name], not the Japanese way. Just because I always tend to get confused about it so I'm setting it straight here.

EDIT: Corrected by unscapable_fate, "sora" is referring to a person.
Any more comments/corrections are much appreciated.

The Story So Far:

Being in the modern world of Shinobi means aiming for the World of Nabari's greatest Hijutsu, Shinrabansho. The fight between the modern Shinobi that revolves around the boy that this immense power was concealed and locked within, Miharu Rokujo, has begun. Banten and Kairoushuu are making moves to gather the five Kinjutsu that will become a key to the Hijutsu. Before he knows it, Miharu feels sympathy for Yoite, a boy wishing for his own erasure with the Hijutsu. This is what makes him part ways with Thobari, who is trying to completely seal the Hijutsu. In order to carry the "plan" out with Yoite, Miharu leaves Banten behind and joins Kairoushuu.

With Kouga's information, everyone from Banten, and then Kairoushuu, meet at the "Idea Exchange Meeting" at Alya Academy in order to obtain the Kinjutsusho Daya. However, beneath the surface, the teacher Kannuki and the others in charge of Alya Academy's student council had their own plans. In the Academy at night, there was finally mayhem. Kouichi is pierced through the heart with the bullet of Kannuki, the assassin. Miharu and Yoite are cornered by Shijima. After Miharu, despite it being imperfectly, activates the power of the Hijutsu, he loses consciousness. It is revealed that the true person pulling the strings and using Kannuki is Tasuku from the student council. He was actually a member of an organization by the country's secret intelligence department, "Kasa". Banten, Kairoushuu and the student council get trapped in the underground archives. Tasuku, threatening the academy head Sirius who is confined to a sickbed, lets "Kasa" invade the campus and in a moment, they gain total control of the situation. The person who then appears is no other than the one who should have died, Kouichi.

Kouichi takes down the sturdy members of "Kasa", one after another. When Tasuku understands that his plans were a failure, he takes his own life. The next morning, the academy head Sirius approaches a peaceful death watched over by the students. Still named as the "intermediary" of the Kinjutsu Daya, Shijima entrusts it with Miharu. As a result, Kairoushuu is now in possession of four Kinjutsusho.

Miharu: (Yoite had a scar.)

Chapter 39

Miharu: (A burn...? That's not it.)

Miharu: (It's a wound that's deep,)

Miharu: (and going straight down.)

Miharu: Like it's from

Miharu: A knife...

Chapter 39 - Tears and a Scar

---Page 07---

SFX: beep boop

SFX: shift...

Fuuma: Well, good job.

Fuuma: Was it fun living the life of an Alya student?

---Page 08---

Ninja: I was a spy, after all.

Ninja: Shijima-san let me in anyway, and to not be exposed I had to control myself with all my might.

Fuuma: Thanks to her, we could find the Kouga Village's specific location.

Fuuma: If she finds out that you were sent in as a plant and was sending progress reports to me,
Fuuma: I'll have to idea what to do then... I'm terrified.

SFX: shiver

Ninja: ...

Ninja: The Kinjutsusho Daya was given to Miharu Rokujo.

---Page 09---

Ninja: The "traitor" was Tasuku Ashikawa.

Ninja: It appears that he was a member of "Kasa", an organization from the country's secret intelligence department.

Fuuma: Ohhh!
Fuuma: Kasa!

Fuuma: Kasa, huh... I see now!

Ninja: There was a rumor that they were assembling talented Shinobi there.

Fuuma: They had basically taken a stance of nonintervention in the World of Nabari itself, but... I wonder if there was a change of policy or something.
//Fuuma: Apart from the students, There could be a someone belonging to Kasa in the OB of Alya Academy.

SFX: hmm

Fuuma: Ah, well the World of Nabari really is a scary place.

SFX: chuckle

Fuuma: I'll have to take care too. Fufufu.

---Page 10---

Ninja: ...
Ninja: More importantly, I've become interested in Aizawa-san from Banten.

Fuuma: Oh! Is it love? You really take things in stride <3
SFX: Kya <3

Ninja: Shut up, you old pervert.

Ninja: When Tasuku was being cornered, that atmosphere...

Ninja: It was as if... he wasn't even human...

Fuuma: It's because they're... existences of magnificence.

Ninja: "They"?

Fuuma: With all my respect, I call them the "Hakutaku".

[Hakutaku/白澤 = White Marsh. A fantastic beast from Chinese legend, usually known as Bai Ze. More info at wikipedia.]

---Page 11---

Ninja: Hakutaku...
Ninja: A mythical Chinese beast... isn't it?

Fuuma: That deep intelligence is the movement of all creation.
//Fuuma: Does that mean that when a capable national leader appears in the world, they will come down from the heavens...?

Screen: "I love you!!" -----Eh...!

Fuuma: Naturally, I can't think of anyone else but them...

Ninja: Huh? ...Okay.

Fuuma: The possiblity that I'd be able to conquer the world even without the Hijutsu is scary...

SFX (right): chuckle
SFX (left): cackle

Ninja: (Sirius... I want to go back to Alya.)

Ninja: Jeez.
Ninja: If you'll excuse me...

SFX: sigh
SFX: slide

---Page 12---

Katou: Chief...

Katou: Was it really okay to hand the Book of Daya over to Miharu-kun?

Katou: It's not that I've got a problem with the way you think or anything, but...

Katou: Kairoushuu has four.
Katou: Won't the only Kinjutsusho we're in possession of will soon be just Banten's Engetsurin?

SFX: beep

Fuuma: You don't seem to understand, Katou-kun.

---Page 13---

Fuuma: You're asking why!?

Fuuma: Because it's interesting!!

SFX: bam

Fuuma: At this rate, Kairoushuu will have five Kinjutsusho, and then we'll take them back in one go, don't you see!?

SFX: clatter

Fuuma: I can't imagine how good it will feel!
Fuuma: My superiority complex!

Katou: (I shouldn't have asked...)

Fuuma: However, it'd be boring if we took such a simple path.

Fuuma: To Thobari-kun, the Engetsurin is something that is to be protected with his life...
Fuuma: Fufufu...

---Page 14---

SFX: Aaahahahahaha....

Screen: Bad End
Screen: Your sensitivity didn't touch me. Good-bye.

SFX: shut

---Page 15---

Kazuho: A high fever and pneumonia, trauma to his abdomen due to loss of blood.
Kazuho: He also has an infection from where he was injured!

Kazuho: For Kira, both the immunity fuctions and regenerative abilities are deteriorated.

Yukimi: ...

Kazuho: Furthermore, the breakdown of his cardiorespiratory system and internal organs is also in a serious condition.

Kazuho: Nii-san, are you making sure that Yoite-kun is eating properly?

Yukimi: Mm.

Yukimi: Isn't that a given?
Yukimi: How much do you think our Engel's coefficient has risen because of him?

[Engel's coefficient = proportion of income that goes into food]

---Page 16---

Yukimi: It's just that...
Yukimi: I don't know what him losing his sense of taste means, but lately he hasn't been able to taste anything at all...

Kazuho: For the time being, he's only taking medicine for his heart, but...
Kazuho: Hmmm.

Kazuho: Well, for now, maybe we should be happy that his heart is working at all.

Kazuho: That child...
Kazuho: sigh...

Both: ...

Text: Heavy...

SFX: click click

---Page 17---

Kazuho: Are you interested... in what Yoite-kun is thinking?

Yukimi: How should I know.

Yukimi: I'm tired of hitching rides in the rental car from Alya.
Yukimi: I'll leave that stuff up to you, Kazuho.

Kazuho: Even now, it looks as if Yoite-kun's about to die.

Kazuho: But he doesn't.

Kazuho: It feels like his body is saying that, no matter what, he won't die yet.

Kazuho: There is definitely an early death waiting for Kira. It is a forbidden technique, you know?

---Page 18---

Kazuho: I think that Yoite-kun has learnt about and properly understood all of that.

Kazuho: He doesn't actually have a face that looks as if he attached to life or have hope for it,
Kazuho: but even so.

Kazuho: Hey, nii-san.

Kazuho: If he doesn't want to die,

Kazuho: I wonder what Yoite-kun is wishing for.

---Page 19---

SFX: sit up

Yoite: ...ng...

Yoite: Wrong...

Miharu: Yoite.

Yoite: You're wrong.

Yoite: You've got it all wrong.

---Page 20---

Yoite: Sora was never there.

Yoite: I can't believe you never noticed.
Yoite: Even though I'm here.

Yoite: I was there.

Yoite: Am I wrong...?

Yoite: Wasn't I there?

Yoite: For 16 years, I had no name.

Yoite: Until Yukimi... named me Yoite.

---Page 21---

SFX: haa
SFX: haa

Miharu: Yoite.

Yoite: As if I was a just a mascot in costume.

Yoite: All anyone sees is a mascot, and I don't exist inside.

[The word Yoite uses is "kigurumi", costumed animal characters. More information on wikipedia.]

Miharu: Yoite.

SFX: ha...
SFX: haa

Miharu: Yoite.

Yoite: Wrong.
Yoite: But you're wrong.
Yoite: Wrong.

Yoite: Sora was never there from the start!

Miharu: Yoite!

---Page 22---

SFX: haa...
SFX: haa...

Yoite: Who?
Yoite: ...Who are you?

Yoite: Where are---

SFX: clasp

Miharu: I'm here.

Yoite: Miha...

Yoite: Ru.

---Page 23---

SFX: Ah!

Yoite: -----

SFX: plip
SFX: plip

Miharu: Not fair...

Miharu: It's not fair!

---Page 24---

Miharu: (I got the feeling that Yoite got close to tears often.)

Miharu: (I actually said it wasn't fair...)

Miharu: (Whenever the heavy wall of his senses is destroyed,)

Miharu: (from there, the hidden emotions seem to pour out.)

Miharu: (What would happen if the sense of smell and touch were to disappear?)

Miharu: (He'd cry,)

Miharu: (Get mad,)

Miharu: (Smile...)

---Page 25---

Miharu: (Be in the midst of dispair, feeling indifference and being cool-headed.)

Miharu: (That is Yoite.)

Miharu: (That's why, with cold feelings, I made a promise with you too.)

Miharu: (To "erase you")

Miharu: Even so... it's not fair.

Yoite: (I don't want to die.)

---Page 26---

Miharu: (It's foolish to hesitate.)

Miharu: (Afterall, the solution has already been decided.)

Yukimi: Miharu.

Yukimi: You're hungry, aren't you?

Yukimi: Let's have a bite to eat.

---Page 27---

Miharu: Don't need to.

Yukimi: Hey now, even if it's just chips,
Yukimi: What about orange juice? I've also got some salad.

Miharu: ...
Miharu: ...I'll have ice-cream then.

Yukimi: ...You brat.

Miharu: Ice-cream would be nice.

Yukimi: If you become weak, I'm the one that's gonna get it...

Miharu: Don't wanna!
Miharu: I wanna eat ice-cream! Buy it.

Miharu: Come on, buy it.
Miharu: Buy it, papa!

Yukimi: Don't call me papa!

SFX: crowd
SFX: crowd

SFX: Uurgh

---Page 28---

Yukimi: I've gotta have a drink, or else.

SFX: slurp
SFX: pull

SFX: stare...

Miharu: Yukimi-san...

Miharu: You don't hide your scars, huh.

Yukimi: Hm?
Yukimi: Ah~ I guess not.

---Page 29---

Yukimi: It'd be hidden, wouldn't it?
Yukimi: If I hid it.

Miharu: ...?

Miharu: I wonder if Gau-san

Miharu: hides the wounds that Raikou-san gave him...

Yukimi: ...Who knows.

Miharu: I'm full.

Miharu: Eat it.
Miharu: Open wide.

Yukimi: You know, you...

Both: ...

---Page 30---

Yukimi: What...

Yukimi: are you going to do with Yoite?

Miharu: ...

Yukimi: Didn't you come here for Yoite?

Miharu: What in the world does he want from you?

---Page 31---

Miharu: That's...

Miharu: Nothing much.
Miharu: I only came to Kairoushuu because it seemed kind of better.

Yukimi: (In this way, he pretends to be indifferent and avoids having any connections with other people.)

Yukimi: (This kid...)

SFX: pssh

SFX: snatch

---Page 32---

SFX: glug glug glug gulp

SFX: Phwah!

Raikou: I hate you, Yukimi-senpai.

Yukimi: ...Even though I've never confessed to him, it kinda feels like I've been rejected.
Yukimi: I don't know what to say about such daring clothes.

Miharu: I hate you too, Yukimi-san.

Yukimi: Oh, sorry you feel that way.

---Page 33---

Yukimi: He's really defeated when it comes to Perm-kun's situation...

Yukimi: It doesn't look like there's any hope in Daya to eventually make it, after all.
Yukimi: About the person himself, even though it wouldn't have been weird for him to have woken up a long time ago, he's still sleeping.

Yukimi: Oh, that's right.

SFX: shuffle

Yukimi: Just before, I made a report to the Chief.
Yukimi: He said that for now, the Book of Daya is in your hands.

---Page 34---

Yukimi: It was what the head of Alya Academy wanted, and we'd be giving our respects to the noble death he had.

SFX: yawn

Yukimi: Of course, the research group said to give it to them in times of emergency.

Miharu: ...'Kay
Miharu: The chief sure is kind, huh...

Yukimi: (Is he really... that kind?)

Yukimi: There's a nap room here, so if you're sleepy, you can use that, you know?

Miharu: Yeah...

Yukimi: Afterall, you haven't slept at all.

Yukimi: And you tried to use... that...

Yukimi: Oh, that reminds me. I'd forgotten to report it to the chief, and it was so important...

SFX: ring ring

---Page 35---

SFX: beep
Yukimi: Oh, hello, Ichiki-san.

Yukimi: What's up? We want to continue resting right now.

Ichiki: Yes, good work.

Ichiki: Well... it won't be a problem if you're not around for a week.

Ichiki: We want to you get the Engetsurin from Banten as quickly as possible.
Ichiki: It's an order from Hattori-san.

Yukimi: I'm planning too.

Ichiki: And Yoite-kun's probably going to be useless soon, so we have to use him while we can.

Yukimi: ...

---Page 36---

Ichiki: Miharu-kun probably doesn't have any attachment to Banten anymore.

Ichiki: I also think that it would be a good plan to get all the dust in a clean sweep here.

Yukimi: ...

Yukimi: So what you mean is
Yukimi: I have to do in the people from Banten... yeah?

Ichiki: That's right.
Ichiki: If there's any man-power you want, please say so. We'll get it arranged as soon as possible.

Yukimi: ...Roger that.

Yukimi: I'll live up to your high expectations.

---Page 37---

Ichiki: The way Yukimi-san and Kazuho-san place Hattori-san in so much trust
Ichiki: gives me peace of mind.

SFX: flip

Yukimi: Hey... You can't sleep here.

Miharu: Mm...

Yukimi: Come on now, don't make me waste time on you.

Miharu: Scars are...
Miharu: Like fragments of your memory, aren't they...

---Page 38---

Miharu: You know, it seems that...

Miharu: Yoite is hiding a scar on his neck.

Miharu: Did you know that? Yukimi-san...

Yukimi: Oh really...

Yukimi: Did you ask how he got it?

Miharu: I'm not interested.
Miharu: And it's none of my business.

Yukimi: It's probably easier thinking that way.
