Dialogue in this work
Page 1
- I'm sorry, but it seems like there is some missing or unclear information in the text you've provided. Could you please provide the complete text or clarify the content that needs translation?
- Hiroto wants to take a look outside.
Page 2
- I heard it when I was little.
- At the very end of the OQ Line...
- There's a divine dragon that shows dreams, huh?
- If something like that really existed,
- Even if it's a naive dream, do you think they'll forgive me?
Page 3
- On hiatus.
- That's basically the "death" of the magazine.
Page 4
- That's where it was serialized.
- My ensemble story died with me.
- There's no one to handle the magazine handover or editing.
- Back to square one as a manga artist.
- What should we do from here on out?
- I wish I could go to Okinawa...
- Yamato...
- Oh no, this is bad!
- Missed my stop...
Page 6
- Ryu...
Page 7
- !?
- I could've sworn I was on the train...
- This is the place.
- Okinawa...!?
Page 8
- It's almost the final stop.
- The Dragon Palace...
- The Dragon Palace—
- Huh!?
- Where is it!?
- No way, a dragon on the express line...!
- Ah!
- Hey!
- You're...!
Page 9
- This appearance
- You can see it, huh!
Page 10
- Come on over, Rui!
- An event straight out of a manga.
- At that moment, I was...
- "I just thought, 'Whatever happens, happens,' and jumped right in."
Page 11
- "The Palace of the Dragon"
- A sacred place that doesn't exist in the human world, home to divine dragons. It's said that when a divine dragon boards the O Line, it connects to this place. Occasionally, humans can accidentally find themselves there due to the will of the divine dragon.
Page 12
- Father! I brought them here!
- I'm a friend to humans!
- Please grant me permission to go to the human world!
Page 13
- Sorry, it seems like there is incomplete information in your request. Could you please provide the text you would like translated?
- Huh? What?
- From now on, I will go to the human world with Rui!
- What the...
- The conversation seems to be moving forward without me...
- And this is the legendary dragon everyone's been talking about...!
- By the way, that's huge!
- Scary.
- When it's finally time to meet, I wonder what I should do...
- ...human.
Page 14
- I've never killed anyone.
- Stealing...
- That's not true.
- I don't have any.
- Hurting the dragon is...
- It's not there.
- Finally
- Do you have a dream?
- Ah...
- I do!
Page 15
- You passed~!
- That's great, Hiroto!
- Thanks, sis!
- It was Hiroto's dream, after all.
- Yeah, Mom!
- Wha... what's going on...?
- I'm human.
- Please take care of Yuso Hakuhiko from now on.
- Uh... okay.
- What am I supposed to do?
Page 16
- I want you to show me the human world!
- Why? You were riding the train alone, weren't you?
- My father only allowed me up to the station platform.
- We don't know the ways of the human world.
- Yuso Hakuhiko is interested in the human world.
- He wants to learn about it as a divine dragon showing dreams to people...
- What's in it for me?
- Will you make my dreams come true or something?
Page 17
- I'll give you 20,000 yen in expenses and daily pay.
- I'm in.
- Thanks for agreeing, Rui!
- No problem.
- This train goes to Shinjuku, so you should be able to get back.
- Thanks.
- Alright, see you tomorrow at noon.
Page 18
- What is this!?
- I casually met a divine dragon in another world!
- Wow—what’s this? I wonder if I could turn it into a manga.
- ...Do they only "show" dreams?
- They don't seem like bad guys.
- Maybe I should just watch for a bit...
Page 19
- The next day
- Rui!
- Good morning, Rui!
- Hey, are you okay being out in a crowd!?
- It's fine! With the power of these beads, everyone sees me as human.
- Oh, so that's how it is.
Page 20
- Why the aquarium?
- I wanted to see how they display the ocean!
- Is that too childish?
- Adults go too, you know.
- First, you need to buy a ticket to enter.
- Okay!
- How old are you?
- About 15 in human years!
Page 21
- Wow!
- It's like they've captured a real ocean!
- It's really well done, isn't it?
Page 22
- 10 minutes later
- Hey, how long are you going to look at the first one?
Page 23
- There are still another 10 or 20 tanks like this, both big and small.
- Isn't it just this room!?
- Yeah, that's why we'll take it easy.
- The ray is following us!
- I wonder what the ray thinks I am.
- Maybe it thinks I'm a fish.
- By the way, why do I see it as a dragon?
Page 24
- They say people with dreams sometimes see dragons.
- Rui, what's your dream?
- I said I had one, but...
- To be honest, I'm not really sure.
- Do you know what a manga artist is?
- I do! I love manga!
- I used to dream about debuting or serializing...
- I had dreams like that.
Page 25
- But after the series ended,
- I kind of lost track.
- I see... I hope you figure it out.
- Thanks.
- You don't ask what kind of manga I drew...
- Maybe you're not interested in a canceled manga.
- I guess Hiroto isn't interested in me.
- Anyone would do as long as it gives him an excuse to go to the human world...
- That's probably how it is for a god.
Page 26
- His personality is pretty straightforward...
- Maybe you'd call it natural?
- Well, it's not so bad.
- Hiroto, do you have a dream?
- To visit everywhere!
- Especially Okinawa!
- Haha, me too.
- Want to go?
- If we had the money, we could!
Page 27
- But it's too far for us.
- Our power as gods comes from faith.
- If we go to places where they don't know the Ushirozuno Ryu, we can't move.
- For example, we're fine around the O Line area.
- I see.
- But if people know about the Ushirozuno Ryu,
- Our range of movement would expand!
Page 28
- We exist in this world too!
- Spreading that message is the first step to my dream!
- I see.
- Spreading the word... sounds like a godly dream.
- ...Is it too grand of a dream?
- No way, it's a great dream.
Page 29
- I had fun! Thanks, Rui!
- Sure.
- We've reached the last tank before we knew it.
- Feels a bit lonely.
- Looks like this is where it ends for us.
- I'm really sorry, Ooshiba-san.
- Please, don't bow your head...
Page 30
- A story about dreams...
- I get it.
- I wanted to create more.
- I wanted to draw more manga.
Page 31
- But my manga got canceled.
- It was my first series.
- I poured everything into it.
- It ended because I wasn't good enough.
- And then something happened,
Page 32
- I felt completely empty...
- ...
- If Rui is alive, then it continues!
- You're probably just exhausted right now.
- It's too soon to give up.
- I saw it with my divine power.
- Rui's manga,
Page 33
- The warm stories of people drawn by Rui.
- I thought they were wonderful.
- That's why I chose you, Rui.
Page 34
- Rui, you can draw manga again!
- I really want to read more of Rui's manga!
- I want to read more!
Page 35
- ...Easy for you to say.
- Drawing manga is tough, you know.
- Hehe
- I thought it was all over,
- and I just blurted it out.
- This little god
- Gave me permission to continue.
- Well,
- I'll look for a place that lets me draw the continuation,
- or try to create a new story.
- Yeah!
Page 36
- ...Maybe I should try drawing manga too.
- I love drawing.
- To tell the story of Ushirozuno Ryuu...
- Hey, Rui, teach me how to make manga!
- What!?
- No way, no way, no way.
- You can do it, Rui!
- Everything's happening so fast, and I still have many questions.
- Meeting Hiroto might not have been a bad thing after all.
- That's what I thought.
Page 37
- ...Pop!
- Hey!
- Rui!
- I've moved next door!
- Nice to meet you!
- Rui's allowance will be transferred by your father every month!
- What?
- Huh?
- I also got a lot of pocket money!
Page 38
- Now we can go out every day!
- Isn't that exciting, Rui?
- Oh! And don't forget to teach me manga!
- Wow, you're pretty bold, aren't you!
- Correction.
- Meeting him might come with some regrets.
