Aquarian Age Juvenile Orion

[4]
Kusakabe- They're here. It's the "enemy".

[5]
Itsuki- I'll kill the would-be avengers.

Shiba- Idiot, if you underestimate them, you'll get hurt.

Kusakabe- Let's go.

[6]
Don't die.
Be sure to come back,
please.

Kusakabe- Yeah, we won't lose.

[7]
*boom*

This is a battle no one knows about.
The continuing chaos behind earth's history spanning the length of 2,000 years.

[8]
*rumbling*

[9]
Kusakabe- Come on...

[10]
And so we face what in astrology is called the age of great change.
The Aquarian Age.

[11]
*chirping*

Kusakabe- ... It's that dream again. Why...

[12]
*sharp pain*

Kusakabe- ! ......?

*stretching sound*

Kusakabe- ... kuh...

[13]
*wailing*

Someone's crying. ... A child?

Yes... that's me.

Me from back then.

[14]
Kirihara- ... Kaname-kun...?

*beeping*

Kirihara- Kaname-kun...

Kirihara- ... Unh, just a little longer.

*beep*

[15]
Kirihara- Kyaa!

Kirihara- I overslept, I overslept. *yawn*

*hurrying*

Natsumi- *yawn*

Kirihara- I don't want to be late from the first day transferring.

Kirihara- Oh, good morning, Aunt Natsumi.

Natsumi- ... Mana.
Why are you in a hurry so early in the morning...

Natsumi- ... Oh, that's right, school starts today. Sorry... I forgot.

Kirihara- Uh-uh, I'm sorry. I woke you. You worked late, didn't you?

[16]
Kirihara- Oh no, look at the time. Well then, I'm going.

Natsumi- Wait, Mana! Are you alright going alone? Do you want me to go with you after all?

Kirihara- No, I'll be fine. I'm a 16 year old high school sophomore!

Kirihara- Well, I'm off!

[17]
*slam*
*hurrying*

*click*

Natsumi- That little Mana...
It's already been 7 years since the accident... hasn't it?

Natsumi- Time has passed quickly. ... Right, sis?

*clatter*

Natsumi- That girl... Mana,
I wonder just what fate awaits her.

[18]
Kirihara- The air of Tokyo brings back memories. Though I enjoyed the 7 years I lived on the
"island".
After all, this is where I was born.

My childhood friend I really liked, Kaname-kun.
He saved me that day. But that was the last...

I've come back to this town.
Maybe I'll see him again.

[19]
*thump*

[20]
*dunk*

*whistle*

Coach- That's it for morning practice. Everyone come in.

[21]
Itsuki- You can really move for so early in the morning.

Itsuki- Here.
Good work.

Kusakabe- Itsuki.

*smack*

Itsuki- Though of course, you have an expression like you have low blood pressure,
you do.

[22]
Itsuki- ?
What? What is it.

[23]
Itsuki- Kaname? ... Are you alright?

Kusakabe- I... had a dream.

Itsuki- A dream?

Kusakabe- "Don't die," someone was saying.

[24]
The inside of my body became warm like it was reacting to that voice.
Joy and anxiety,
confusion and anger.

The emotions gush out and instinctively I,

I,

Itsuki- And then what?
What was the dream?

Kusakabe- No... it was nothing. I'm just not feeling well today.

Itsuki- ... Hmm?

Kusakabe- ... By the way, Itsuki, why are you here?

Itsuki- Eh, no, um, look, I'm rewarding a friend tired from morning practice.

[25]
*snap*

Kusakabe- ... Come to think of it,

Kusakabe- Homework was given out in Math, as I recall.

Itsuki- Urk!

Kusakabe- You wouldn't simply bring me a snack.

Itsuki- Aah, Kaname-sama! It's due today, please let me copy.

Kusakabe- ... Do it yourself every once in a while.

Itsuki- I can't help it. I'm busy with my part-time job everyday.

Kusakabe- All you think about is your interest in your part-time job.
*Just how many jobs do you have?*

Itsuki- You'll let me copy, right? Right!?

Shiba- Hey, you idiot.

[26]
Itsuki- Ugh, that voice...

Itsuki- Shiba-senpai.

Shiba- Are you bothering our serious underclassman?

Itsuki- Oh no, Isshin-senpai. We're such good friends, how could I bother him.

Kusakabe- *You're stifling me.*

Itsuki- *Kya!*

Shiba- It's Iishin, Shiba Iishin. Read it in Chinese. Stop calling me like a monk in a temple
somewhere.

Itsuki- Now, now, senpai. Calm down.

[27]
*ding dong dang dong*

Itsuki- Oh, senpai. Look, the first bell.

Kusakabe- Mm.

*ding dong*

Kirihara- Kyaa! The bell's already ringing.

*shrill hum*

[28]
Shiba- ......!?

Itsuki- What was that...

Nakaura- Tsukasa.
Tsukasa, are you alright!?

Amou- I'm sorry, I just... got a little dizzy.

This sensation, like my chest is being constricted.
... What in the world is it...

[29]
Amou- ... Tomonori-san...?

Kirihara- Um, are you a teacher at this school?

[30]
Kirihara- I transferred in to Seika High School today. I'm Kirihara Mana.

[31]
Kusakabe- Ma... na?

Itsuki- !? Kaname?

*collapsing*

[32]
Itsuki- What's the matter? Hey.

Kusakabe- ... Don't touch me.

Kusakabe- Don't... touch me...

...... It's blood.

They're covered in blood,

My hands.

... No.

No...

[33]
It's awakening that savage beast.

Nooo!

Itsuki- He... could it be...

Shiba- Hey, you. 

Shiba- You, what on earth?

[34]
Itsuki- Did you say something, Shiba-senpai?

Shiba- .........

Itsuki- Well, since the first bell has rung, I'm going back to class.

Shiba- Itsuki... eh?

[35]
Itsuki- Phew, that was close, that was close.
I've specially come so far as an ordinary student.

*phew*

Itsuki- Still... this sensation,
there's no mistake, it's a "Mindbreaker".

[36]
Itsuki- In that case, I have to confirm it.
If it's the one I've been waiting for,
or,

[37]

[38]
Teacher- Everyone take your seats. Let me introduce a transfer student.

Kirihara- I'm Kirihara Mana. Pleased to meet you.
