RYOKO 36

Man a lot has changed in the two months since I last translated this. For example, the series ended. :<

(Top text- The dinner table at the end of civilization battle action manga reaches the climax of the 'City in the sea of trees' arc!!)
(Side text- The Grim Reaper/won't die/until she/eats him.)
RYOKO
(Side text- Volume four of the manga has a release date!! It'll be in stores May 17th!!)
VOL 36: UP
MITSUHASHI KAITO

002
(Side text- They combined their strengths and escaped!! However, unbeknownst to Ryoko and her friends, that fearsome man is still...)
(Sfx- Jikuuhhh throob)
Ryoko: You're amazing Zen-kun! We were able to make it to the surface!
Zen: Y—yeah, I'm great...
(Sfx- Jiuuuwaaaah sizzzle)
Ryousuke: Oooh! We're outside!
(Handwritten- Hup)
Zen: Now all we gotta do is find Sis Rere and get the hell out of here.
Ryoko: Yeah, but we're really far from where we were seperated....
So we probably won't be able to find her so easil--

003
(Sfx- Tahh tpt)
Ryoko: Oh.
Rere: Wha...
Ah...
Ryoko...
(Sfx- Gahhh fwap)
Rere: I was worried about you, moroooon!!
Ryoko: Uwaaaaah! I was worried too y'know!!
Rere: And Ryousuke seems to be fine!!
Does it hurt anywhere, ya little runt?!
And you're covered in blood as usual, whitey.
(Sfx- Gashi gashi rub rub)
Zen: True that.
Rere: Ah, that's right Ryoko. I've got good news.

004
Rere: Kogarashi ain't coming back.
Zen: Sis, you aren't saying...
Rere: It's exactly what I just said. He's no longer with us.
I plugged him dead center with a bullet to the brain.
I killed him with my own two hands.
Ryoko: Huh!?
Rere-san, why would you take on such a heavy burden....
Rere: I'm fine.
We'd best get out of this city while avoiding any other foodstuffs.
Now let's get going!

005
Ryoko: Wait up Rere-san!!
Zen: Sorry about this Grand General, but lend me your shoulder?
Ryousuke: 'Kay!
(Sfx- Goshuuuuuhhhh fwhooooom)
Parsley: How's it feel to awaken as a monster?
(Sfx- shuuhhh)
Kogarashi: How I look doesn't matter. What I care about is what's going on inside.
Now then...

006
Parsley: So you're going then?
Kogarashi: Yeah.
Parsley: You really do have a thing for that girl, don't you?
I've never seen you grin as much as you do now.
Kogarashi: Izzat so?
Parsley: It is.
007
(Sfx- Guguuuhhh)
(Sfx- Boohhh fwhooom)
(Sfx- Gobaaah kablaaam)
Parsley: You really are a man who can...
do nothing but smile.
(Sfx- Para para clatter clatter)
{You were the same way when we met too.}

008
{The only survivor among a mountain of corpses...}
{You were the only one sitting there grinning.}
{Whether it was out of something like sadness, or gratitude...}
{I had never seen an expression like yours when so close to death before.}
{You had already passed away, but...}
{I had become interested in you.}
(Sfx- Shuuuhhhhh)

009
Kogarashi: ….is my ass supposed to hurt this much when I'm dead?
Parsley: My scent has brought you back to life.
Kogarashi: Scent?
Parsley: That's right.
I'm able to control the functions of organisms that sniff it and cause hypertrophy.
The scent can in turn influence the brain and heal injuries or bring organisms back to life.
In short you who died have been reborn.
Little human.
(Sfx- Zudohh thd)
Kogarashi: I doubt I'd still be considered a human at this point...

010
Kogarashi: But it's funny....
I'm not sure if it's because I died and came back to life but...
My body feels...so much...
lighter.

011
(Sfx- Dooon Thoooom)
Rere: That's friggin' impossible!!
I know I killed him!!
(Sfx- Oooooooooh whoooooom)
Ryoko: Kogarashi.
Kogarashi: Hey there missy.
Taking a day off of school today?

012
Kogarashi: You couldn't have been sane thinking you'd come here and save everyone.
If you're so bound by all of these things you have to protect...
Then I'll gamble with my life to ensure you lose it all.
(Sfx- Shyuhhhh fwhoooom)
Zen: He's....
Ryoko: Everyone, stand back.
This time I will...
protect everyone!
(Sfx- Chakiii clack)
Kogarashi: Oh c'mon, I came to give you a hand and you're not happy?
Give me a smile at least.
Ryoko: The time you're happy...
isn't the same as when I am.
Kogarashi: I see...
You seem ready and raring to go, but...

013
Kogarashi: All I see is your leftover trash everywhere!!
Ryoko: I won't let you!!
(Sfx- Gaakiiii claaang)
(Sfx- Giyuuiiiiiii grnnnnnd)
Kogarashi: That's nice, but you've still got a long way to go.
(Sfx- Booohhh fwhomp)
Ryoko: Agh
{He's so strong!!}
(Sfx- gagagagagaga grnnnd)

014
Zen: Ryoko!!
Ryoko: Guhhhh
(Sfx- Ooooohhh)
(Sfx- Doohh Thoom)
Rere: You bastaaaard!!
(Sfx- Gagagagaga blamblamblam)
(Sfx- Bishiiiiih ssssshhht)

015
Rere: Where'd he....
(Sfx- Garigarigarigari)
Zen: Get behind me, Grand General!!
Kogarashi: Suck on this!!!
(Sfx- Gyabaaaaah blllammmm)
Both: Guaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
(Sfx- Bishi bishi bishi dsshsdsssh)

016
Ryoko: Guys!!
(Sfx- Dannn thooom)
Kogarashi: Now then...
Let me hear what you said before...
One more time.
Ryoko: Gahaaaaah
Kogarashi: Well?
Well?
C'mooon.
Where are the things you need to protect, Missy?
Ryoko: Aguh....

017
(Sfx- Zuzuzzuzuzuzhhhh)
Kogarashi: This vibration....it couldn't be...
Honey, you really are the best.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuhhhh)
Parsley: Darling,
I'm the one who keeps granting you life.
So the one who'll watch over you until the end is me.
{The day that you were reborn....}
Kogarashi: Just calling you Parsley like other people is boring.
Parsley: Oh?
Kogarashi: So just call me darling,
honey.
{“I” was likely reborn too.}

018
(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo rmmmmmmble)
Parsley: Kogarashi...
This is my offering to you.
(Sfx- Zuzuzuzuzu dooooom)
(Side text- Despair stares down at Ryoko...!!)
