(disciple) Character Profile No.16 Hayasaka Ouka Author’s Comments -The twins arose from my idea of two people who relied on each other for moral and spiritual support. I also wanted to create a pair to contrast against Kazuki and Tokiko. -I had no clear model at first. I was just going off of general ideas – “older sister,” “pretty,” “student council president,” “secretly wicked”... etc. In the process she seemed to gain some qualities from Tomoe in Rurouni Kenshin. Maybe somewhere in my heart I just wanted to see Tomoe alive... -With “long hair” and “tall” as a guideline, I drew three different models and then solicited the opinion of my editor and assistants, finally choosing a favorite. I must say, I quite like the M-shape style of her bangs. -It seems a waste to just cut her out after this. Maybe she’ll come back in later on some new twist, who knows! p.167 Doll: Keep your ears open, everyone! / The almighty ME will now announce important info on the L.X.E.!! Doll: But before we start... / You. On your knees. Toki: Huh? Doll: You wanted to kill Ouka, didn’t you? / If Ouka died, I would die too! Doll: You didn’t even thinking of keeping us alive for infomation. / You’re so stupid! / You don’t qualify as a warrior!! Both: Enough, enough. Bravo: All that may be true, but Warrior Tokiko is a good warrior. / She’s extremely hard to defeat when she’s angry. Toki: You two also have to / kneel! Kazu: Yeah, she’s actually very nice! / Even though she constant wants to rip people’s guts out. p.168 Voices: Ffft, this thing keeps getting sidetracked. / If this keeps up, we’ll be here forever. Here, let me! Chapter 35 13 hours ‘til battle Bravo: The League of Extraordinary Elect, / commonly called L.X.E, / is compiled of homunculi and disciples from the Northern area. Bravo: Number of homunculi, unclear. / Number of disciples, unclear. / Number of kakugane, unclear. Kazu: That’s no help. Toki: You’re useless! Doll: I can’t help it! Ouka’s the lowest rank! Bravo: But we have the location of their base. / A mansion in a forest outside Ginsei City. p.169 Bravo: Now for the details. / Aside from Butterfly-mask, Dr. Butterfly is the only one that knows how to create homunculi. / Their homunculi are almost all made by him. Bravo: And as for the kakugane... Dr. Butterfly is in charge of that as well. He gives them to his underlings for missions. / This means L.X.E. is pretty much all centered around Dr. Butterfly. Doll: That’s right! So if you kill Dr. Butterfly, L.X.E. will... / fall apart! sfx: bishii! (point!) Bravo: I’d like to get them in one go. / If we take too much time, the traitor might recover. / After consulting the council, we’ve decided to use our current manpower to kill Dr. Butterfly and control the organization. / After that we kill any underlings that are left. p.170 Bravo: The battle begins in 13 hours. / Tomorrow, 8 A.M.! sfx: dokun (ba-dum) sfx: dokun dokun (ba-dum ba-dum) Bravo: Kazuki... / That’s why, Kazuki, p.171 Bravo: tonight we will have the last training session. / You go warm up first. Kazu: Got it! Doll: Hey, is Kazuki okay? / He looked really nervous there. Bravo: Can’t blame him. / It’s his first big battle as a true “warrior.” Toki: Yeah. Toki: But the enemies won’t care about that. Bravo: That’s why, tonight, I want to see / how good he is. p.172 Kazu: [No time to go to the dorms. / I’ll just buy some bread to fill my stomach.] Guys: ! / He’s finally here! Dai: Oi! Kazuki! Oka: You’re really late! What’s up? Kazu: Eh? Voices: What are you doing? // Doing? Waiting for you! / Mahiro was meeting someone, so she left early. // How’d the visit go? You got past the doctors, right? / Oh! That? Kazu: But how did you guys recognize me? / Isn’t it too dark to see my face? p.173 Roku: What kind of question is that? Dai: We’ve been friends since middle school! Oka: It’s not hard to recognize your moron face without actually seeing it. Voices: Really? Ouka sempai has to stay hospitalized a while longer? / How come we didn’t see Shuusui sempai at school? Dai: Wow, we haven’t done this in ages. / Brings back old memories. Kazu: We always did this in 9th grade, on the way back from tutoring. Roku: Yeah, we really have slowed down in high school. Especially the past few weeks. Oka: All because someone’s gone crazy about Tokiko. Kazu: I am NOT crazy about her. / But sorry! sfx: bi (psst) p.174 Dai: The last holiday was really boring. Roku: We should plan something for summer vacation! Oka: The beach! We can go again, like last year. Kazu: Yeah, I remember! Last summer was really hot! Dai: Has that really happened before?! Voices: Okay! It’s settled. You’d better be there, Kazuki! / And you have to bring Tokiko. [It’s true, lately we really haven’t hung out much... Sorry, everyone!] p.175 [As for tonight...] Bravo: You’ve been training for about a month. / It’s amazing how far you’ve come. [A Renkin Warrior’s basic training / consists of many mock-battles. When the body is exhausted, / it uses the kakugane’s healing powers to regain energy. / This raises the body’s endurance, and also strengthens the will to fight.] Bravo: Now that the training’s over, I must assess where you are. / Charge me like I’m the enemy! / You must not use the cloth’s power. / Charge with your own energy. sfx: za... p.176 Bravo: If you can force my Silver Skin to begin defense, you pass. / Otherwise you fail, / and you won’t be able to fight tomorrow. Kazu: Here I come! Bravo: I told you, I’m the enemy. / Don’t underestimate the power of my Silver Skin. Kazu: HYAAA! sfx: DOO (CHAARGE) Bravo: That’s right! / Come at me! p.177 sfx: da!! (BAM!!) sfx: za, za (rustle, rustle) sfx: don (bump) Guy: Hey! Aren’t you going to apologize? / I don’t care if you’re related to Master Butterfly, Guy: I’ll kill you just the same! p.178 sfx: gashii (squish) B/M: I was on my way to see Master Butterfly. / Why don’t you come with me? Voices: Sorry, I didn’t settle that issue with the twins... / It’s fine. Sooner or later / they were bound to attack, anyways. Dr. B: Although next time, you ought to join in the fighting too. Moon: Of course! Moon: Speaking of fighters, how’s Butterfly-mask? / He looks like he’s got potential. Dr. B: No, / not him. p.179 Dr. B: The healing tube worked better than expected, / but when it comes to battle, he hasn’t enough stamina or endurance. He’s too unstable. Dr. B: In the end, he’s just a homunculus built from partial research. An imperfect homunculus. / If he leaves this place, he’ll be found and killed by Renkin Warriors. Dr. B: We’re both butterflies, but unlike me, he can’t fly by himself. He’s worthless. / Yet he’s still my homunculus. I am obliged / to take care of him. p.180 B/M: I can’t fly by myself? / Well, let’s see about that! sfx: su (shift) [Busou / Renkin!] sfx: haa haa haa haa (huff huff huff huff) sfx: boshuuu... (bloosh...) sfx: bota... bota... (drip... drip...) B/M: ...ah... I haven’t felt this good... in a long time... B/M: The pain! The suffering! / The blankness of mind that comes with being on the “brink of death”!! p.181 sfx: do!! (poof!!) B/M: Well, thanks for taking care of me, old man. / I’ll repay you with a spectacular flight. sfx: ka!! (crack!!) p.183 sfx: pakin! (ffzing!) Bravo: One month. / That’s the first time anyone’s done this in just one month. Bravo: Whether it’s talent / or determination / or something else, / Kazuki, sfx: goooooo.. (hyooooo..) Bravo: from tonight on, / Warrior Kazuki / will be your official title. p.184 Voices: Morning! / Morning! Oka: Morning, Mahiro! / Where’s Kazuki? sfx: to... (step...) Mahi: Oh, I didn’t see him this morning. What’s up? Oka: Nah, just wanted to ask him about going to the beach over summer break. Mahi: What-----! I’m going! I’m going too! Oka: Of course! Mahi: Yaaay! Roku: I found some information on the web. / Where’d that idiot run off to now? Kazu: Hey, Tokiko, you know how to swim? Toki: Are you joking? / Why are you asking this? p.185 Kazu: Well, we want to go to the beach over summer vacation. Toki: This isn’t the time! Bravo: Warrior Kazuki, Toki: See? You’re in trouble. Bravo: I can drive. sfx: kiraan (glint) Kazu: Got it! sfx: da (yeah!) Toki: Commander... Bravo: But, before that, [We must kill all the monsters hiding out here. / The battle begins!!]
