Tokyo Crazy Paradise After ---To the Future---
page 173
Akira: { '---Do you hate me now......?' She asks me with searching eyes.} Tsukasa gazes up at Akira worriedly. There are flowers in the background.
page 174
A little distance away, a plane prepares for take off. Looks like Akira and Tsukasa are watching the plane. Akira is leaning up against the railing, sort of turned away from Tsukasa. He's in his usual GRAVE uniform (with the tight black leather pants!) and she's dressed up like a guy as usual in a T-shirt, jeans and a vest. Looks like she got her chain & bugworm fixed up as the pouch is at her waist again.
Akira, narrating: ------If I were to say "Yes" right now, how easy would things become------------------...?
page 175
Akira: "------..." {------But,} "Since those were her last words in the form of the DVD... I suppose that it's all true but------... It doesn't mean anything to me......." {I can understand how Tsukasa must have felt,} "To me, you're still only 'the Kozukis' child'." {To tell me the truth of her very existence------...}
Tsukasa: "...Akira-san..."
Akira: {------And,}
page 176
Tsukasa smiles sweetly. "...Arigato------..."
Aria leans on the railing and holds his head crying. {Dammit, if I could come to hate her, I wish I could......}
Large text: That smile, the silk thread spun by angels---...
Tsukasa and Akira seem to be joined by a thick silk thread. There are little Tsukasa angels complete with halos and wings spinning the thread.
Akira: {If it were a steel cable, I probably could have ripped it apart...}
Tsukasa looks up at Akira worriedly. "Akira-san...?" {Is something wrong!?}
Akira narrating: ---There's no way I could come to hate her------...
Meanwhile, Tsukasa is starting to panic. "Does your head hurt? Are you all right? Do you need medication? Want me to go buy something?" She suddenly freaks and bursts into tears. "I'm sorrrrrrrryyyyy! It's because I told you about the secret of my existence---!!" {I knew it would be too much for you but since I made you worry so much I figured that you should know------!!}
Large text under Tsukasa: I'm the cause of your illness! [Or something like that.]
Akira narrating: Since,
page 177
He recalls the time when Tsukasa panicked thinking she had served him a bad pot of tea (when he was helping her with her studying).
Akira smiles.
Akira narrating: Tsukasa hasn't changed a single bit------------...
He pats her on the head as Tsukasa transforms into semi-dog form with dog ears, muzzle and a tail. "That's not it. It's not your fault Tsukasa. I'm the one who demanded to hear the truth, remember?"
Tsukasa, smiling: "There's something almost magical about you Akira-san..."
Akira: "N?"
Tsukasa, all in smiles: "When I'm with you, I feel relaxed. My dad used to pat me on the head like this too!" {Maybe that's why? He he It makes me happy.}
Akira, with a cloud over him: "------..."
Text: Suddenly declared as "father". [Crappy translation? How about "Suddenly given the title/rank "father"?]
Tsukasa: "And the cologne you use is just like the one dad used--- ©"
Akira: {...W... Well I figured as much---... Almost obvious since I was aiming to be like 'Kozuki Yutaka' ------...} He sighs as he looks across the runway.
Small text: The result of over worshipping...
page 178
Akira's phone suddenly goes off.
Akira: "...Excuse me a sec."
Tsukasa: "Okay."
Akira: "...Hai. It's Kise. Yes. Hai. I understand. I'll be there right away."
Tsukasa starts. "...Something happen?"
Akira, flipping the phone shut: "...Yeah... I'm really sorry but I have to go."
Tsukasa: "Busy as ever is it?"
Akira: "It is. Thanks for coming out today."
Tsukasa shakes her head. "I've left the 'kagi' to the police but the least I can do is to see it off... And I'll pray that the counter-drug will come from India even one day sooner------..."
page 179
Akira smiles. "------Yeah."
Akira, narrating: ------...I suppose... I won't change either------... If she becomes depressed, I'll cheer her up, if she's in trouble, I'll do something to help---------...
Tsukasa: "E? What am I going to do? Well of course, I'm going back to Kuryugumi and be Ryuji's bodyguard."
Akira: {No..., I didn't mean your schedule for the rest of the day............} He sweatdrops. He starts pushing his motorcycle while Tsukasa walks along with him. {...You know... Since she's the daughter of a woman seen in the gokudo world as a goddess...... There's no way that Shirogami Ryuji and Kuryugumi will leave her alone...... How are you planning on dealing with them from now on...?}
Tsukasa: "I'm Ryuji's bodyguard."
Akira starts.
Tsukasa: "Today, tomorrow and the day after. I'm going to live each day to the fullest---!" She stretches. "Since here (in Tokyo) you never know what's going to happen------!"
Akira looks surprised for a moment before smiling again. "---..." {...I see------... ------...That's right... Nobody can predict the future------...}
page 180
Akira: {No matter what future Tsukasa chooses, the only thing I can do is to accept it. The future that is to come someday.}
Tsukasa: "A! That! My bus!!" She points at the bus at the curb side.
Akira sees her off.
Tsukasa: "See you later!"
Akira: "Aa."
The bus drives away.
Akira: "...'Kay! It's time for me to get going!!" He straddles the bike and puts on his helmet.
Akira: {---Until then, we can only go on------...!!} [Living?]
page 181
Black ears twitch.
Kali gets up all of the sudden.
Text pointing to Kali's eyes: Red lights on.
Bun-san: "N?" He watches as Kali bounds away. "Sandaime, seems that Tsu-bo is back."
Ryuji waits for her return, smoking as usual.
Text: Five minutes later.
Text: Ten minutes later.
Ryuji: "......"
Bun-san: "......"
Text: Fifteen minutes later.
Ryuji, now impatient: "~~~~~~!"
Bun-san: "------..."
Text: Twenty minutes later.
Kali saunters in with a slumped over Tsukasa on its back.
Tsukasa: "...I'm back~~~"
Kali's eyes are flashing away.
Text pointing to Kali's eyes: It's happy.
Ryuji, pissed off: "Can't you guys come up right away...!?" {You take too long!!}
There's an explanation for Tsukasa's sudden fatigue.
Moments earlier, she had been tackled by Kali.
Text: As soon as it detected Tsukasa's presence on Kuryugumi grounds, it went to go meet her at the entrance. And then they wrestled. [It appears to be a daily occurrence]
page 182
Tsukasa: "---Well... Now that the special task force in search of the counter drug has left for India, things should go well if the 'holy grounds' is where the guide remembers it to be."
In the background, the news is on.
Looks like Ryuji is dressing up for an occasion as he is now wearing a dark shirt and he's putting on a tie. She's holding his jacket.
Ryuji: "...But his memory is from his childhood isn't it?"
Tsukasa: "That's just it..." {---The guide just happens to be... the blond haired Rui.}
Akira, earlier: "---Rui's father used to go to foreign lands as a botanist in search of new species of plants, and when he did so, he would report it to the academic board. He lost his mother at a young age and he was shy and often lonely. He didn't like being cared for by others so he used to tag along on his father's expeditions------... And there, they..."
A picture shows young Rui with his father. Rui spies a strange stalk like object jutting out of a rock. Yanking on it, a few rocks break loose.
page 183
Rui falls back and the 'stalk' which Rui had yanked on is discovered to be attached to a round container by a chain.
Akira, earlier: "Had found it. The 'kagi' to the holy grounds and a piece of paper with the directions to get there------..."
Tsukasa: "Presenting it to the academic board was where things started." {Within that academic board was a Japanese scientist who had ties with Garyukai---------...} "But the plant was considered extremely dangerous so it was never publicly announced it was discovered, and from one dark place to the next------..." {That was what started the row between Hogou and Garyukai---------...}
Ryuji is listening to Tsukasa, now fully dressed in suit and tie, with his hands in his pockets, leaning against a pillar. Kali is sitting nearby.
Tsukasa: "---...That drug... should be destroyed------..."
page 184
Ryuji: "---...It'll disappear------... Once they're finished with the drug they'll uproot all of them."
Tsukasa looks at him, stunned at first, then she breaks out into a grin.
Ryuji: "And if there's some of it hidden somewhere the police can't find it, then,"
Tsukasa and Ryuji: "I'll make that thing disappear from the face of the earth!!"
Tsukasa holds her fist in the air for emphasis. "That's right!! There still may be some of that drug hidden somewhere!! There's still something I can do aside from giving up the 'kagi'!!"
Ryuji: "......"
Tsukasa: {---That's right. I'll make sure that comes true so ------...please------... I wish that the people suffering from the effects of the drug and the people hurt by the drug are saved------------...}
A picture shows Tokonome. [Remember him? He's the owner of the island which was taken over by Garyukai... the island where Tsukasa went with Akira undercover to find out what the 'party' was all about and the island where Ryuji was shot.]
Nurse: "Tokonome-san, it's time for a dose of the counter drug."
Another pic shows a young boy with a doctor.
Doctor: "...I see..."
Boy, in tears: "I had another dream where I stabbed someone with a knife........."
page 185
Ryuji: "------...That's right... Putting that aside, are you ready for tomorrow?"
Tsukasa: "Tomorrow?" {Something happening?}
Tsukasa: {---...And that they can walk on once again------......}
Ryuji stares at Tsukasa.
Moments later.
Tsukasa: "EEEEE!? Why the hell do I have to attend a party you're invited to, dressed up as a girl------!!?"
Ryuji: "I'm saying! That you'd act as my ward against other women!!"
Tsukasa: "I dunno---! This is the first time hearing it!"
Nearby, Kali is looking on worriedly, much like how Kamo-san used to hover around whenever Tsukasa and Ryuji argued.
Ryuji: "No way! I did tell you!! I wouldn't forget it!! It's when you were watching 'Today's News' and there were talking about the panda!!"
Tsukasa: "AA---!! I remember the news about the panda!! The baby panda was the cutest thing!! But I don't remember that!!"
Text: Seems that she was totally absorbed with the news of the panda and didn't hear a thing Ryuji was saying.
Tsukasa: "Still!! I didn't hear that!! So I'm not going to cross dress!!" {Hell no, I won't!}
A dark shadow falls over Ryuji. "... ...Ho ho..."
page 186
Ryuji: "And thanks to who is it that the cop is still alive?"
Tsukasa jumps.
Ryuji's eyes flash with anger. "......You... You said that you'd do anything if I saved that cop at Megafloat, no~~~...?" {I won't have you saying that you've forgotten.} He flips though pages and pages of 'proof' (the manga in sheets).
Tsukasa: {The bastard~~~!! Why does he always remember things like that in such detail......!!?}
Ryuji steps forward. "------If you won't cross dress no matter what, then," He tilts her chin up.
page 187
Ryuji: "---------...This is fine too---------..."
Tsukasa stares back with wide eyes.
Bun-san suddenly freaks out. "------!! Ya ya-------!!?" He's staring out the huge window. "Th, that's-----!! The legendary yellow postman robot that'll give you good luck for life if you manage to get a picture with it------!!"
Outside the window, the postman robot is flying by, its feet like rocket boosters. [Anyone remember Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom)?]
page 188
Bun-san tears out of the room at breakneck speed.
Bun-san: "No way!! I have to get a camera-------!!"
Tsukasa holds out her hand reaching for help. "Aa----!! Wait a minute there you bastard------------------!! What do you mean the yellow postman robot that will give you good luck for life---!! You always laughed and said that it was urban legend---!!"
Meanwhile, alone with Tsukasa, Ryuji already has her on the floor (he's on her back and he's already stripped her of her vest). Tsukasa kicks madly with tears in her eyes but can't get free.
Kali perks up suddenly.
Ryuji feels a huge weight on his back. "...!!"
Ryuji and Tsukasa are flattened to the floor. Kali has its front paws on Ryuji's back.
Tsukasa and Ryuji, their necks craned back to see Kali: "------... ------..."
Kali's tail is waving like mad.
Text pointing to Kali: Are you playing? You're playing right? Play with me ©
Tsukasa bursts out laughing. "That's right. It's what I always do with Kali!" She scratches the cat under its chin.
Ryuji is sitting nearby with his face turned away from her. {...I... almost feel as if we were walked in by a unknowing young kid...}
page 189
Tsukasa, holding Kali: "There you go Kali! Go get him--!" She has the cat kick out at Ryuji.
Ryuji in anger punches at Kali.
Tsukasa: (------...Aa-----... Mister yellow postman who brings good luck------... No matter how little, happiness does come around---...}
Tsukasa: {See? I don't have to rely on you be happy.}
Ryuji sulking, with paw print marks on his face: "...Maybe... this thing's doing it on purpose." {While pretending to be unknowing.}
Tsukasa, narrating: {So, even if I come to a standstill when facing the 'harshness' of living,}
She turns to Ryuji. "... ...What...?"
Ryuji: "...Since this thing is that ronge..."
Meiko sensei breaks in. "My, Sandaime."
Tsukasa: "A!" {Meiko sensei!}
Meiko: "You're still here? Didn't you say that you were going to meet someone at 2?"
Tsukasa narrating: {Don't be afraid.}
page 190
Tsukasa, yelling: "I'm saying!! Why are you so loose when it comes to dealings with the katagi!!? Back in grade school, didn't Kouno sensei used to say to keep your promises------!!?"
Ryuji, with a large lump on his head: "I don't remember such stupid things."
They're stalking out the doors of Kuryugumi, the kumiin watching in awe at Tsukasa and Ryuji.
Tsukasa, narrating: For the happiness that will undoubted come someday -----
Ryuji: "...Going back to what we were talking about earlier, I really don't like it. It's not that I hate it directly, but it used to belong to that ronge,"
Tsukasa cuts in. "A-----!! Enough already!! Stop walking so slowly Ryuji-------!!" {Walk faster will you eh-------!?} She starts pushing Ryuji from behind.
The Kumiin: "Ooh!!"
Tsukasa: "Go--------!! We gotta travel at light speed now Ryuji---!!"
Ryuji: "Listen when someone's talking to you!!"
Tsukasa, narrating: Let's walk on to the future------
