Earthian Volume 1 ----------------- Chapter 3: "Christmas, Summer" Poor translation by Asbel; mistakes guaranteed. Law where prohibited by void etc etc. Page 99 Narr: The '87 end of year liason group is meeting at Christmas in Hawaii Chihaya: Christmas in... Hawaii?? (That's weird) Kagetsuya: Michael-sama is coming as well Chihaya: Ah, really? Kagetsuya: Hey, what are you so happy about? It's not like that They're bound to investigate how we screwed up in Hong Kong We'll probably be chewed out over it Page 100 Kagetsuya: Be prepared, OK? Page 101 Narr: And so they came to Hawaii Page 102 Narr: The Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel Chihaya: Kagetsuya, Kagetsuyaaa!! Hey, do you know? do you know where it is? Kagetsuya: Shut up! Take care of your own stuff, why don't you Chihaya: I did, but I've lost it (That was valuable, what am I gonna do!) Kagetsuya: Aah? What have you gone and lost? Chihaya: Er... the necklace!! the one with the locket! Kagetsuya: Oh... I'm carrying that. Page 103 Kagetsuya: You left it in the bathroom (I picked it up) Chihaya: That's meean I didn't leave it there I was putting it on! Kagetsuya: Oh. Right. (oopsy) Chihaya: Aiiiiieeeeee Kagetsuya: Fool, don't leave your important stuff where I'm going to find it, then It's bad manners Page 104 Chihaya: Ouchy... Kagetsuya, you're so mean... Kagetsuya: What're you doing... get up from there. Chihaya: It's not that simple! I can't get up! (And in a place like this...) Kagetsuya: Fly, then Chihaya: Eh? What if someone sees me? (We won't just be chewed out if that happens) Page 105 Muneyuki: How about it? Phoebe: It's no good, I went and promised my mother I'd be home in good time Muneyuki: Ah well, that's a shame Just a bit... Phoebe: Mmm... Chihaya: (Eh?) Page 106 Muneyuki: WHA... Page 107 Chihaya: oops Muneyuki: What the hell Is that!? Chihaya: Wha... Whatamigonnado... That's my third...!! Ooh... Phoebe: What is it, Muneyuki? Page 108 Muneyuki: Bye, Phoebe. Seeya later Phoebe: Muneyuki!? (What d'ya think you're doing...) Muneyuki: ...... What was that... a bird? A woman? A man? Didn't it have... wings... Ah, a man Maybe there's a scoop here Page 109 Chihaya: Mph... Muneyuki: You're awake? Sorry, but could you do it again for me? The wings, the wings! Chihaya: Ah! Muneyuki: What's your name? You're Japanese, aren't you, and a cute one at that Chihaya: Wha wha wha Muneyuki: Come on, won't you do it? Page 110 Chihaya: What the hell is this? Cut it out with the weird stuff, will you Muneyuki: Nonono, I saw it, y'know Show me your true form What are you, an angel? Or perhaps a demon? A mutation? a freak? Chihaya: Please, stop it Heeeeeelp! Page 111 Chihaya: Ka... Kagetsuya: You didn't come home, and I find you playing in a place like this Chihaya: Ka... Kagetsuya!! Muneyuki: Friend of yours? Kagetsuya: (Chihaya! your hair has grown again, you...) It's rude to pull this stuff this late at night! I'm taking you home Muneyuki: V... violent, aren't you... Chihaya: (Ouch, ouuuch!) Page 112 Kagetsuya: Is photography your hobby? Muneyuki: No, my work Kagetsuya: A photographer? Muneyuki: A photo magazine reporter Kagetsuya: You in Hawaii on business? Muneyuki: No, on holiday Kagetsuya: The sort of human I hate most Page 113 Kagetsuya: Well, 'scuse us Muneyuki: Aah, wait, wait Remember that I'm Takaya Muneyuki I'm sure we'll meet again soon (Oh yes oh yes) Chihaya: Wha... what am I gonna do I was seen... Page 114 Kagetsuya: ...!!! That was the third guy to see Chihaya!! You idiot, that's the third. It'll be alright, so you probably don't need to worry Chihaya: I guess Kagetsuya: However! Be more careful. If you're seen by a fourth person, you'll become Fallen Chihaya: Uhuh... Muneyuki: Erumi? Can you come over? Yeah Yes, I'm alone Page 115 Maneyuki: Well then, I'll be waiting, honey. Come quickly I really saw it A demon, A spectre The "Horror boom" may be over, but a good scoop always goes down well I will see his true form Hello, I'd like to make an international call to Seibundou in Tokyo Hi, Chiko-chan, it's Takaya I'd like you to send me some materiel; the complete Buddhist teachings, a list of people with spiritual ability, and some notes on the occult And I'd like some crosses and talismans made, just to be safe Page 116 Michael: December right beneath the equator... It's not as hot as I expected Raphael: Well, it's not snowing Page 117 Michael: Is everone here yet? Raphael: Yes, almost, apart from Chihaya and Kagetsuya Michael: Hmm, I thought we'd have seen them by now Raphael: Yes, well, perhaps they've already descended to the meeting Michael: No, they'll be somewhere else. Probably they're working out what they're going to say about their misconduct in Hong Kong And Chihaya will be getting bullied Raphael: Shall we go? I think I'll go and offer Kagetsuya some help Michael: I'll go and lend a hand too Raphael: That's surely unnecessary Page 118 Narr: The descended angels gathered on the holy night On the equator, the island of Kaui in the Hawaiian archipelago The native people had no need to be near the cratered island Page 119 Etc: It's been ages, how've you been Etc: Mmm, well, hanging in there Miyagi: Well, we should go and have a look at today's report Aya: No need for that! I read it already! Page 120 Aya: Did you hear what Chihaya wrote? He got his wings see by a second person in Hong Kong! A fourth would make him Fallen! That's just carelessness I can't believe he graduated top at the academy Miyagi: He's alright Aya: Miyagi, look at it objectively for a moment. The truth is you two are quite alike You just like him because a Plus checker, like you Miyagi: What are you so worked up about today? Aya: I can't stand seeing my precious Kagetsuya with *him*! And worse, because today's the meeting they'll be sitting together. I don't want to see that! Miyagi: But you should see Kagetsuya Page 121 Etc: It's Kagetsuya! Etc: Kagetsuya Aya: Kagetsuya's arrived? Page 122 Aya: (Grr...) Hey, let him go! Can't you fly yourself in? Kagetsuya: I flew him in because a weird guy is looking for us and I didn't want to stand out (Would the black wings be less obvious...) Your usual self, I see, Aya Aya: Kagetsuya! I missed you... Page 123 Aya: I really want to be a team with you, Kagetsuya Kagetsuya: You know that's not possible. I can't team up with another minus checker You and Miyagi go well together. Hang in there... (Let's go, Chihaya) Aya: Aah, hmph! I can't be a Plus checker. I don't like Earthians... Miyagi: You really want to be with Kagetsuya that much? Aya: Of course I do. But I don't want to be a Plus... (It's so complicated) Miyagi: Hmm... I see. Aya: But I do love you second best, Miyagi so it's alright! Page 124 ?: Furthermore, What generally stands out from the last half year is the Plus-checkers' near misses Especially in Hong Kong a few days ago... Page 125 Aya: His wings were seen They even saw my power After the third, there's only one more to go Thank goodness. Kagetsuya: Chihaya's useless. Today he was seen for a third time Chihaya: Aaargh Michael: That guy needs help Raphael: In that case, let's go and see him Page 126 Kagetsuya: This is the Hilton Hawaiian Village's banana bread And this is one I made. Which do you want? Chihaya: (The Hilton's!) The third really was just carelessness, but I don't regret the first, Taki, or the second, Dinah at all! I will accept punishment for the mistakes in Hong Kong Kagetsuya: (You're saying my cooking's bad?) Raphael: So, as usual, he's sympathetic to the Earthians Michael: Really... Aya: That's dangerous! I think you should take responsibility for your mistakes Page 127 Kagetsuya: In that case, I should also take responsibility (munch munch) Aya: Kagetsuya!? What are you saying? Kagetsuya: My partner's mistakes are my mistakes Aya: Tell me you're joking! Don't stand with him on this Kagetsuya: Do I sound like I'm joking? Michael: What shall we do with one who was seen three times There's nothing left after that (The hand of Michael-sama) Chihaya: Because, noone has yet seen my true form, and those three have only seen a part of what I truly am ?: Stop it! Page 128 Michael: I see. Well then, Chihaya, if you can make it snow here this Christmas you shall be forgiven Raphael: Michael-sama is pleased to jest Kagetsuya: But that's... Chihaya: Alright, I'll do it! Kagetsuya: Chihaya... Do you think you can do that? (That's a difficult one) Chihaya: Yep! I'm going! Page 129 Kagetsuya: ...What did you do? Chihaya: (I made the wind turn) Chihaya: I brought snow from Mt. Lanaihale with a strong wind Kagetsuya: ...You didn't do anything with that guy... right? Chihaya: What are you saying! Of course I didn't. Remember the death penalty, the death penalty! Muneyuki: (No matter what, I'm gonna get that picture!) End.
