Volume 3 Chapter 12

Yuuki: Gasp? Both of you are staying over at Seno's house?
Frei: We can be her bodyguards at the same time!
Kyou: There has been a lot of trouble at Seno's house, her mother is in hospital...
Kyou: Don't worry, I'm still going to school, and helping out at the shop too.
Yuuki: .....
Maki: Be careful along the way.

Yuuki: Kyou has changed a lot, he's taking the initiative to help others.
Frei: Whoah, you're making me surprised!
Kyou: Why?
Frei: I never expect you to tell my darling Alice that you'll "always be by her side!"
Frei: Although that was a natural thing to do, I didn't expect you to say it faster than I did.
Frei: You've said that you're gonna break up with Mayura, is that true?
Kyou: Umm...

Frei: So that means you're changing your target to Alice?
Kyou: Rubbish!
Kyou: Seno... How should I say, feels just like a little sister to me.
Kyou: Morever, she already had someone she liked...
[Frei stopped to chat with some female students]
Frei: Miss, you all are so pretty! Which high school did you come from?
[Rams bike onto Frei's head]
Kyou: Are you listening to me?
Frei: Ouch, that hurts a lot!
Kyou: Hmph, one look and I know it's definitely not you!
Frei: If I go bald because of this, I will definitely shave your head bald!
Kyou: How could you be such a flirt? Im suspecting if you're really serious about Seno!!
Frei: I'm a supporter of feminism!! How can a dense fella like you criticise me!
Kyou: What did you just say!
Frei: What do you want!

Nyozeka: Don't be like this, cheer up!
Nyozeka: Kyou and Frei is worried about you, that's why they decided to stay over here.
Alice: But...

[Flashback]

Alice: That's great, Mum you're finally awake.
Alice's Mum: ...Mayura...
Alice: Huh?
Alice's Mum: I though I saw Mayura, in her bedroom...
Alice: !!
Alice's Mum: That must have been my imagination...
Alice's Mum: After that, I suddenly felt... everything turned black in front of me...

[End of Flashback]

Alice: Even Mum had saw Sis, What is going on exactly? I didn't see anything in her room... ...
Nyozeka: ......
Kyou: I JUST CAN"T THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SUCH A FLIRT!
Frei: WHY ARE YOU SO PREHISTORIC!
Alice: [sweatdrops]
Kyou: IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT I OVERSHOT!
Frei: WHAT DID YOU SAY! YOU RASCAL!
Alice: (I don't know why, but I seem to feel more worried than before!)

Alice: This is the guestroom, you can both sleep here.
Alice: But Senpai, are you sure I'm not burdening you?
Kyou: What are talking about! You're the one who needs help!
Kyou:By the way, have you received any news about your father?
Alice: [shakes her head]
Kyou: Is that so...
Kyou: Don't worry, your father will come back safe and sound.
Kyou: Until then, Frei and I will...
Nyozeka: Why did he went off to?
Alice & Kyou: (WHERE IS HE?)

Frei: ...... [standing in front of Mayura's bedroom door]

Frei: ahh... [shot in the head by an arrow]
Kyou: YOU SURE GET INTO TROUBLE IF NOBODY KEPT AN EYE ON YOU!
Alice: FREI, THIS IS MY SISTER"S BEDROOM!
Kyou: Why you, must be thinking of stealing Mayura's undergarments, fantasizing something unmentionable.
[imagining Frei dancing around while "wearing" Mayura's undergarments]
Frei: WHAT! OTHER TAHN THE ACTUAL PERSON, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING ELSE!
Alice: Then... won't it seem worse this way?
Kyou: Hmph! This way you needn't worry! This fella that is worse than a beast, I'll keep an eye on him!
Frei: This is too much!
Nyozeka: ......

Alice: Wow!
Alice: Did Frei cook all these dishes?
Frei: These are the dishes I always cook at home, remember to eat it along with this jam.
Kyou: You'd better than eat it with that jam.
Alice: Wow, then all this must be Norwegian dishes!
Frei: Nope, it's Spanish cuisine.
Alice: Why?
Alice: But it sure is delicious.
Alice: I used to eat with my family too...

[Flashback]

Alice: Dad is always the same, talking during dinner.. everyone laughing along...

[End of Flashback]

Alice: ......
Kyou: (Ah!) [shocked]

Kyou: Seno, look! Dessert is done by me!
Frei: Then I'll have to give it a try!
Kyou: Eat your jam instead!
Alice: (This family, won't be broken up at all.)
Alice: (Mum, Sis, and Dad... Will you all come back?)
Nyozeka: It's just that...
Nyozeka: Other than Frei, don't you think Kyou cares a lot about you?
Alice: Eh?

[Flashback]

Kyou: I want to break up with Mayura.
Kyou: The relationship between us is frienship, not love.
Kyou: You made me realize that.

[End of Flashback]

Alice: ......
Alice: Di... Did he found out that I like him? That's why he said that...
Nyozeka: THAT IS DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE. He's so dense.
Alice: How could Nyozeka be so sure...
Frei: Hi! [appeared in front of Alice]

Kyou: ..... [getting ready for calligraphy]
Alice: YEEEAAAAAAA!
Kyou: Seno! What happened?

Alice: YEEAAA!
Kyou: WAH!
Frei: Mmffpp! [in the storeroom]
Nyozeka: BAKA!
Kyou: I've already locked that molester away, you can sleep in peace!
Alice: But... but you...
Alice: You... you saw it...?

Kyou: Uh..
Kyou: No... No.
Kyou: Saw a little... No! Nothing at all!! Good Night!
Alice: Uh...
Nyozeka: He sure doesn't know how to lie!
Alice: (...What shall I do... can't fall asleep... come to think of it, we under the same roof now.)

Alice: (Senpai he...should be asleep already...)
Alice: (Guess I had better drink a glass of hot chocolate!)
Alice: (!) [saw a lighted room]
Alice: (Senpai?)
Alice: !? [saw Kyou asleep]

Alice: (Whoah, there's paper all over the floor?)
Alice: [picked up a piece of paper] (? ?)
Alice: (Oh no, if this goes on he'll definitely catch a cold!)
Kyou: Urgghh...
Alice: Senpai? Senpai please wake up...

Alice: (He's sleeping so soundly... it'll be cruel to wake him up.)
Alice: (Hmm... where's the blanket...)
Kyou: urggh...
Alice: (Huh?) [hugged by a sleeping Kyou]

Alice: (Huh?) [screaming from the heart]
Alice: Sen... senpai...
Alice: (What shall I do, I can't move at all!)
Kyou: .....

Kyou: ...Kill...
Kyou: ...Father he... I...by that guy...
Alice: !?
Kyou: Huh?

Kyou: So... Sorry!
Kyou: I'm really sorry!! I was supposed to be practising calligraphy, and ended up falling asleep...
Kyou: And even mumbled in my sleep...
Alice: It's... it's okay! But, why did you think of practising calligraphy?
Kyou: Because I wanted to calm myself down...untidy handwriting, means confused mind!
Alice: But why do you have a confused mind?
Kyou: ..... [blushes]
ALice: ?
Kyou: Don't... don't talk about this! Your mum regained consciousness, that's great.
Alice: Ah... yes... But the reason for her unconsciousness is still unknown... so she has to stay in the hospital...

Alice: Dad is too much... Said that he has to work... yet not sure where did he went off to...
Kyou: Do you have any clue at all?
Alice: ......
Alice: Actually I don't talk much to my father, so I don't have a clue at all.
Alice: I guess this is how I am.
Alice: Always unable to say what I truly mean.
Kyou: ......
Alice: When I was in primary school...

Alice: I was very good friends with three other girls, but one of the girls started to ignore another girl.
Alice: She even warned me not to talk to that girl, but I really sympathised with her,
Alice: So one day I mustered up courage and said it out.

[Flashback]

Alice: Please don't be so mean to her, okay?

[End of Flashback]

Alice: But from that day onwards, it was my turn to be ignored by everyone.
Alice: Even that girl who was originally ignored, turned around and said that I pretended to be the good guy...
Alice: I thought I had done the right thing, but why does it turn out this way?
Alice: So I told myself, instead of reliving that pain again, why don't I just keep everything bottled up!

Alice: On the contrary, Sis is more straightforward, and much more independent than I am.
Alice: How I wish Sis was not the one who disappeared, but me instead... Then this family went became such a sorry state.
Kyou: You're wrong!
Kyou: Mayura is Mayura, you are you, you are both two different people.
Kyou: If you think that you've done nothing wrong, you should hold your head up high.
Kyou: Actually you're a much more kinder person than anyone else.

Kyou: This is the source of your "courage".
Kyou: Among all the "Lotis", you actually acknowledged courage first.
Kyou: If that's the case, you should have more confidence in yourself!
Alice: Senpai...
Kyou: Actually...
Kyou: All along I've hated my own personality.
Kyou: I'm always trying to maintain a "good guy" image, and never try to understand the people around me.
Kyou: But I'm still me, different from my father.

Kyou: I wish for myself to be a little more stronger.
Kyou: That's why... I will change myself for the better!
Alice: [touched by what Kyou had said]

Frei: Troublesome! Don't you think that their communication is getting more immensed?
Nyozeka: Don't get jealous.
Nyozeka: Because they are both the last hope for this world.
Nyozeka: It's just that, from your situation, it doesn't seem that easy...
Frei: Gasp! Nyozeka, Don't tell me you know I'm...

[suddenly interrupted when the house starts to shake]

Kyou: Earthquake?
Alice: WAAH!
Frei: Be careful you all!
Kyou: Nyozeka... Frei!
Frei: I am sensing that the evila aura is getting stronger...
Kyou: What!?
Frei: There's something wrong with this house!
Frei: This house is under attack from the evil Mara!

Frei: Your mum's illness must be here as well.
Frei: Haven't you both realised?
Frei: The force of the evil Mara is concentrating from Mayura's room, slowly spreading to the rest of the house.
Frei: That's why I went to the bathroom to ensure Alice's safety.
Kyou: (Liar... I am not buying it no matter what!)
Alice: (Mara...? Force of the evil Mara?)
Alice: Who is it...
Nyozeka: It's Mayura.

Nyozeka: From the start, Mayura was the one controlling the evil Mara.
Nyozeka: That's why I was wondering about your father's disapperance...
Nyozeka: Could be due to the fact that Mayura dragged him into the darkness.

[Flashback]

Mayura: Kyou, why don't you come with me.

Alice's Mother: I thought I had seen your Sister.

Mayura: You thief.

[End of Flashback]

Alice: How can it be...

Alice: Impossible, Sis can't be doing this to all of us?
[interrupted by the phone ringing]
Nyozeka: Telephone!?
Kyou: It's already past midnight...
Alice: [went to pick up the phone]
Alice's Father: Is it Alice?
Alice: Dad...

Alice: Dad is that you?
Alice's Father: Sorry! Dad... may not be able to return back to where you are...
Alice's Father: ...I... already...
Alice: Dad! Dad...
Alice's Father: ...alice...
Mayura: Alice.
Mayura: Can you hear what I'm saying?
Mayura: It's me.
Alice: (Sis.)
