Saike Once Again 135

Cute chapter is cute. It really is nice that Fukuchi is wrapping up the character's stories rather than dedicating this into one more training arc or something. You could argue maybe that --more training would have made a more compelling story but I do think taking this route and seeing them off instead was wise on his part.



Take 135: From Ana with love.

002
Ana: Mikaaaaan~~!!
I don't know what to dooooo~!!
Mikan: C—Calm down Ana!
Could you explain what's going on to me?
Ana: It's driving me up the wall!!!
Mikan: Okay, um..let's try calming down maybe?
{These two became friends after the Johann incident.}
(Sfx- Zuzuhh siiip)
Mikan: She's so cute...

003
Ana: So it's like...
I can't go along with everyone else on the trip y'know.
Mikan: You mean going around the world to gather ability users, right?
Ana: Yeah.
Saike has given me all kinds of things.
If it weren't for Saike, Hitomi and I wouldn't have made up.
And I would have never learned to face my oracle properly.....
Yet...
I've never given him anything in return.

004
Ana: And now he's going on a long journey in a month...
Worst yet I won't be able to see him again for three years...
Mikan: Ana...
Mind coming to my place for a bit?

005
Ana: What are you doing, Mikan?
(Handwritten- You bought a bunch of ingredients too...)
Mikan: Heheehee...
We're going to make “chocolates”!
Ana: Huh?
(Handwritten- Chocolate?)
Mikan: It's going to be valentines day soon, right?
Every other year Saike never gets chocolates from anyone other than me..
But if you give him something too then I'm sure he'll be overjoyed!
(Handwritten- I'll give him mine on my own though.)
Ana: W—wait a sec, Mikan!!

006
Ana: Isn't Valentines that thing where...
You force feed the person you like chocolates?!
Mikan: That way of phrasing it is awful!!
(Handwritten- More like it's not like that at all!!)
(Sfx- Oraaa!!!)
(Sxf- Mogoohh gulp)
Mikan: The reason doesn't matter all that much.
It can be as simple as “Thank you for always being there”.
Or “I hope to get along with you well.”
Ana, you're going to put those feelings you want to convey to Saike...
Into chocolates and then give them to him!!

007
Ana: So you're saying I can do it any way I want?
L--
Let me tell you straight up that i'm not good at this kinda stuff!!
(Handwritten- But if all I gotta do is put my feelings into it...!!)
Mikan: On that note are you planning to express any feelings of “Love” to him via this chocolate?
Ana: Of course not.
Mikan: A—ah! Yes but of course!!
(Handwritten- Ahaahahah)

008

009
{Ana, you're going to put those feelings you want to convey to Saike...}
{Into chocolates and then give them to him!!}

010
Ana: Here.
Take this.
(Sfx- Don bam)
Ana: That doesn't seem right.
For you!!
Hey!!
FOR YOU!!
HEY YOU!!
EAT IT!!
TAKE THIS!!!

011
Ana: Crud...
How do I give these to him....?
(Sfx- Doooon)
(Handwritten- How does everyone manage this?!)
(Handwritten- Bye bye!!)
(Handwritten- See you later!!)
(Handwritten- Changed as soon as school was over.)
(Sfx- Doki doki doki doki throb throb throb)
(Sfx- Doh doh doh doh doh thud thud thud)
Ana: I'll just silently hand these to him and then leave!
Simple is best, right?
{This is wrong, probably.}
Saike: Hm? What's up Ana?
(Sfx- Bikuhh pooit)

012
Ana: Th—this...!!
Val—Valen....
Saike: Valen?
(Sfx- Paaaaaaaaa honnnnnnk)
Someone: Kyaaaaaah!!!!

013
Saike: Wa--
Watch---
Ana: Packing tape-ification!!!
(Sfx- Doooonnn whhooom)
(Sfx- Pehh plip)
(Sfx- Gohhhh)

014
(Sfx- Fooooooon vrooooom)
Ana: Are you okay?
(Handwritten- Thank you miss!!)
(Handwritten- Thank goodness.)
Saike: Thanks Ana!
You saved him!!
Ana: Ah...

015
{After I...}
{Put my heart into making these...}
Saike: Wait...
Could that be for me?
Ana: Yeah...
But...
I'm pretty sure what's inside has been busted up into pieces.
Saike: Mind if I open it up?
Ana: Ah...!!
(Sfx- Gasa gasa gasa rustle rustle)

016
Saike: Even if we're split apart.
It doesn't change us.
No matter how far apart we go...
Someday we'll meet again.
Because we're held together by your packing tape.
(Sfx- Pakuh chomp)

017
Saike: Mmm!
It might be broken apart but it's still delicious!
Thank you, Ana!

018
Ana: Yeah!!!
(Chocolate: Don't break your body!!)
Ana: You'd better go make sure to get one from Mikan directly!!
Saike: Whoa! She made one too?
When did you two become so close?
Ana: Secret.
(Chocolate: Guts! From Ana.)
