Saike Once Again 138

Now this one was fun. I really wish we could have gotten more Ana and Hizu alone moments in the series.



Take 138: Hizu and Ana

002
Ana: I said me!
(Sfx- Dooon thoom)
Hizu: No, me.
(Sfx- Doooon thooom)
Saike: H—Hold on! Calm down!!
Why are you fighting today?!
(Handwritten- Stop!! Stop!!)

003
Ana: We're discussing which of us is more useful to you.
Saike: THAT'S IT?!
(Sfx- Garururu grrrrrr)
Hizu: It's obviously me, yeah?
Ana: No me!
Saike: Uh—um...
Why do these two argue so much anyway....
(Handwritten- It's like cats and dogs...??)
Ana: You gotta decide before you go on your journey!
(Handwritten- I want this to be perfectly clear!!)
Saike: Hmm...
Okay how about this?

004
Saike: The two of you should go do heroic duties yourselves today.
That'll make it easy to decide who's on top.
Both: Huuuh?
Saike: Something like “Whomever saves more people is the winner.”
Having a contest like that is okay from time to time, right?
Ana: I'm going to win!!
Hizu: I am.
(Sfx- Dohyuuunn vhooom)

005
Saike: I'm sure if they spend some time together without me they'll begin to notice each other's good points!
(Handwritten- A fine idea if I do say so myself!)
(Sfx- Dadadadadadada tmptmptmtmp)
Hizu: I've got this.
Ana: No, me!!
(Sfx- Puru puru shiver)
(Sfx- Kiraaaan gleeeem)

006
(Sfx- Doooon thooom)
Both: Heroic intervention!!!
(Handwritten- Hm?)
Old Lady: Thank you, youngsters...
Ana: Which of us won?!
Old Lady: Huh?
I'm thanking you both.
(Handwritten- Ho ho ho)
{A Draw}

007
Kid: Ah.
(Sfx- Zusaaaah ssshhhh)
Hizu: Which of us won?!
Kid: Thanks, both of you.
{A Draw.}
Ana: Which of us won?!
(Handwritten- Ball coming at you!!)
(Handwritten- Are you okay?)
Hizu: Which of us won?!
{Draw}
Both: Which of us won!?
{Draw}
Both: Which of us won?!
(TN- They all say draw.)

008
Ana: F--
Hizu: Fifty battles...
Fifty stalemates.
(Sfx- Hah hah hah)
Ana: I didn't think you were this obsessed with Saike...
Guardian dog eyebrows!
Hizu: Back atcha...
Miniature flower garden head.

009
Ana: It must be great for you...
Being a guy and all.
I'm a girl,
And a kid at that.
So I can't even go on this journey with you.
I just want to be...
Useful enough to be by his side too y'know?!

010

011
{It must be great for you...}
{Being a guy and all.}
{What the heck was I even saying?}
{It's not his fault.}
{I'm just being selfish.}
(Sfx- Porohh dripp)
(Sfx- Kushi kushi wipe)

012
{I wonder if Saike would take me with him...}
{If I were a boy?}
(Sfx- Pitohh tap)

013
Ana: That burns!!
What?!
Ah, Hizu?!
Hizu: Wanna drink?
Ana: H---
How did you even know I was here?!
Hizu: I asked around a little bit and found you almost immediately.
“Did you see a blonde girl with flowers in her hair?”
(Sfx- Suzuuhh siiiip)
(Sfx- Goku goku gulp)

014
Ana: Sorry about earlier.
It's not like you had any choice in that matter.
Hizu: Ana.
It's because Saike trusts you...
That he's leaving you here in Japan.
Saike's parents live in this country.
Mikan too.
Knowing him, Japan is probably of the highest priority.

015
Hizu: Yet he said he'd leave this place to you.
It's because you're the person he trusts most.
Honestly speaking if it's a question of which of us is more useful to him...
I don't have that much confidence it's me.
Over these last four months when I was laid up...
You've been supporting Saike all on your own.
Now I'm struggling just to catch up with what I missed while I was recovering.
You get it?

016
Ana: Give me your hand Hizu.
Hizu: Hm?
(Sfx- Shuruuh wfft)
(Sfx- Kyuuhh ree)

017
Ana: Now we'll always be together.
Should you ever feel down out there...
Look at this and remember...
Saike is relying on you.
Hizu: Yeah.

018

019

020
Hizu: Now then..
We should hurry back to Saike.
If you don't hurry up I'll leave you behind.
Ana: Eh!? Wha--
HOLD ON!!
Hizu: I'd be good if you did something about being a runt in the next three years.
Ana: D—Don't call me a runt!!
I'm going to grow up so much that you'll be shocked when you come back!!
Hizu: If you manage to surprise me then I'll treat you to sweet red-bean soup.
Ana: Wouldn't it be too late for that?!
