"HIME IN THE DARKNESS”

Episode 4

Yoshi: Wh-Who the hell are...

(itsuki pierced the heart of Yoshi)

Itsuki: Now, do it! turn back time!

^ LOST MEMORIES ^

Itsuki: I know for sure I pierced your heart. You don’t have long to live.

(Itsuki remembered of what Akari said)

“Yoshi is a hybrid who can use two types of power. The first type is slicing attack magic. And the other is time manipulation. It’s only for a minute, but Yoshi can turn back time.” Akari.

Itsuki: you have no choice! Now turn back time!

(Yoshi didn’t listen even her heart is already pierced, instead she use her another power and sliced the body of itsuki, now both Itsuki and Yami was killed)

Yoshi: (To Itsuki’s body) Don’t underestimate me. Ughhh my heart was really hurt I need to get heal, I can’t believe a human got me this good. Should I turn back time now? No, that would use too much magic. Damn it. At this rate, I’m going to die!

(Yoshi has no choice so she turn back the time)

Itsuki: (Looking at Yosh and Yami) So that’s Yoshi.

Yami: huh? She hung up!

Yoshi: s**t!

Yami: Grab yoshi! She’s hung up, so she can’t use power anymore!

^ At the laboratory ^

Researcher: (To the assistant) Yoshi hang up.

Assistant of the King named (Jin): She’s useless.

Researcher: Excuse me.

^ At the Factory front door ^

Yami: Time manipulation power consumes too much physical strength. If you use it even once, you can’t move for a while.

Itsuki: (To Yoshi) did you really turn back time? If you did, what happened? Even if our memories are gone, you still have yours, right?

(Itsuki try to look at Yami’s boobies but Yami covered it with her hands)

Yami: what are you looking at?

Itsuki: huh! Oh, nothing...

Itsuki: (Thinking) I guess she doesn’t have those underarm moles after all. But I can’t help but feel that I’ve forgotten something important.

Yoshi: it’s the end for me. I failed, so they’ll dispose of me.

Yami: if you report that you killed me, then...

Yoshi: you really think they’d accept words alone? They told me to kill you and bring your body to them.

Yami: then why not escape with us?

Itsuki: Hey! She was about to kill you!

Yami: if she got away from them, she’d have no reason to go after us.

Yoshi: That won’t work. The beacon attacked to my Harnest is transmitting my location. The moment I make a move to leave the factory, they’ll eject me remotely.

Itsuki: let’s see if we can remove the beacon, then.

Yoshi: are you stupid? If it were easy to get off, no one would have to deal with any of this.

Itsuki: your life is on the line. Don’t you think we should try everything we can?

Yoshi: (Thinking) well, yeah. He’s right. It’s still too early to give up. These guys dropped their guard. I can kill them with my bare hands.

Itsuki: Okay, I’m going to take a look.

(Itsuki try to remove the beacon but it’s suddenly pushed in)

Itsuki: (Shock) How!?

Yami: The beacon! The bottom left button is pushed in! And that means...

(Yoshi started to melt)

Itsuki: isn’t there anything we can do!?

Yami: no. At this point, she’s done for. (Crying) why? She didn’t even leave the factory.

Itsuki: Let’s go. We’ve gotta hurry up and find those pills. Can you stand?

(Yami saw something like an small animal with lots of eyes crawling to Yoshi’s neck)

Yami: (Shock) Huh? Wh- what is that!?

Itsuki: Huh??! It’s trying to get back to her Harnest.

(Itsuki stepped his foot into the animal and it was killed)

Itsuki: (Thinking) could that thing be a parasite that lives off experimented human?

Yami: (Confused) What in the world are we? What did they do to the girls?

Itsuki: (Thinking) I get it. “Harnest” means it’s “her nest.” As in, where “she” lives.

^ Inside the Train ^

Itsuki: (Thinking) We turned that place upside down, but we only found two boxes. Still... now Yami can live for a little longer.

Yami: Akari, hold on!

Itsuki: When was the last time she took a death suppressant?

Yami: The day before yesterday, in the evening.

Itsuki: You said you die if you don’t take it for 35 hours.

Yami: Yeah. It’s a little different from person to person, but...

(Itsuki and Yami was running to the Observatory)

Yami: Akari!

(Inside the observatory she saw Akari bleeding)

Yami: Akari... Akari... Akari! Answer me, Akari!

Aoi: She can’t answer unless you put her hand to the keyboard, right?

Yami: Aoi, why are you here?

Aoi: (Bleeding) Honestly, I only had one pill left myself. I was holding out till just before melting to take it. I didn’t have any to give to Akari, but I’d be annoying if I let her die and she came back to haunt me. We split the contents of my last capsule in half and licked it up.

Yami: So then... Akari isn’t...

Akari: Yami, you made it! The forecast never changed from you two dying so I thought you were goners for sure. I’m so glad.

Yami: (Crying) Yeah! Akari... I’m so glad!

Itsuki: (Thinking) I bet Yami and I really were killed, just like the forecast showed. But then... Yoshi’s power turned back time. Though we’ll never know what happened...

Aoi: Come on. Hurry up and give Akari a pill.

Itsuki: Akari, you’ve been treating me like a perv this whole time. Got anything to say now that I’ve risked my life to bring you these pills?

Akari: Feeling self-important?

Itsuki: No.

Akari: don’t be so patronizing.

Itsuki: That’s not what I mean!

(Aoi get the other box of pills to Itsuki’s hand)

Aoi: The spills! I’ll be taking half. Business is business. Thanks a bunch! Bye.

Yami: it’s fine. That’s what we promised her, so...

Itsuki: I’m gonna head home. You guys can stay here for now.

Yami: But—-

Itsuki: it’s fine. I’m the only one who comes here. If you get hungry, there are some snacks downstairs. Eat if you get hungry.

Yami: Ryota Itsuki!

Itsuki: Hmmm?

Yami: Thank you.

Itsuki: No problem. See you later.

^ Outside the observatory room ^

Itsuki: “Ryota Itsuki,” huh. Now that I think of it, that’s the first time Yami called me by my name. (crying) Am I stupid or what? Don’t cry just because you’re happy she said your name.

^ At the ocean ^

(Yami was looking at the Sea, Itsuki coming to her)

Itsuki: What’s up? You’re spacing out.

Yami: I have the feeling that, for a very long time... I’ve wanted to see this view. Why does my heart ache so much... even though it’s so wonderful here?

Itsuki: (Thinking) She’s not Kurayami. I know that. But... I’m glad I could show her the ocean.

^ At the school ^

(Yami was answering a question on the board)

Itsuki: (Thinking) it was not like Yami was stupid. She just didn’t know anything. Up until recently, she didn’t even know multiplication tables, but she’s managing to absorb the material at this top-of-the-prefecture prep school. The things she loses when she uses her power... they’re her memories. No doubt.

Teacher D: (To Yami) Correct.

^ Outside the school campus ^

Yami: Are you sure? We can stay at the observatory?

Itsuki: is there anything else to go? Your house is in cinders. Besides, if you turn in the form to join the Astronomy Club, there won’t be any issues.

Yami: Really?

Itsuki: Yeah. The Astronomy Club watches stars all night, so that can be your excuse for sleeping over.

Yami: what about Akari?

Itsuki: Well, if it comes to that, all we can do is hide her in the closet.

Yami: But... when researcher caught us, they’ll kill you too. You’ll be mixed up in this mess.

Itsuki: that’s fine. I’ve already considered the worst case scenario, so don’t worry.

Itsuki: (Thinking) No matter what happens, you saved my life. I don’t mind losing it protecting you.

^ At the Street ^

(Itsuki and Yami walking on the street going to the Observaty room)

Yami: Hey.

Itsuki: Hm?

Yami: what does “someone you can trust” mean?

Itsuki: Well... if you think, “This person won’t do anything wrong,” then that person.

Yami: Here. Take a look inside. It was given to me when I ran away.

Itsuki: is this some kind of... computer? And what is this?

Yami: it’s... a baby alien.

Itsuki: Huh?

Yami: Well, to be exact, I was told it’s a fertilized alien egg.

^ Inside the Observatory ^

Aoi: hey, you must be so bored while Yami’s at school.

Akari: Well, Yeah, I am pretty bored. But it seems like she’s having fun, so I don’t want to get in her way or be a burden.

Aoi: don’t you get hungry when she’s not here?

Akari: She feeds me a lot for breakfast, so not really.

Aoi: Hmmm.

Akari: what are you trying to say?

Aoi: Nothing. I was just thinking how goofy you are. I mean, you could move if you wanted to.

Akari: Tell Yami and I will kill you.

Aoi: Hahahahahah, How!?

(Itsuki and Yami entered the room)

Itsuki: Not our lucky day, getting caught in that downpour.

Yami: Aoi?

Itsuki: Is something the matter?

Aoi: I heard they moved here, so I came to check it out. Oh, is it raining?

Yami: it’s already let up.

Itsuki: Yami, you should take a bath.

Aoi: There’s a bath here?

Itsuki: Yeah. There’s a local hotspring nearby although it’s small and mixed.

Yami: I’m fine going later.

Itsuki: Oh? All right.

^ At the Hotspring ^

(Itsuki taking a bath alone)

Itsuki: Yeah, just ‘cause it’s mixed doesn’t make it okay to go together. Too bad I don’t get to see Yami’s boobies, though. (she’s referring to the moles)

Aoi: Oh?

(Aoi was at the back of Itsuki)

Itsuki: You! What are you doing here!?

Aoi: “Why?” It’s mixed, right?

Itsuki: That doesn’t mean we should—-

Aoi: if you wanna see some bobbies, maybe I’ll give you a peek.

Itsuki: (Thinking) She heard me?

Aoi: There! If you turn around, you can get an eyeful of those boobies you love so much.

Itsuki: I’m not that into them!

Aoi: C’mon, c’mon. Don’t deny yourself. c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon.

Itsuki: Cut it out——- Whoaaaa...

(Itsuki was a little mad so he accidentally turn around to shut at Aoi but he was stopped and shock because he saw Aoi’s full body without clothes)

Itsuki: S-Sorry.

Aoi: (Blushing) If “sorry” was enough, the world wouldn’t need police. I guess you’ll have to pay the Booby fee. Even though you saw me more, I’m letting you off with just the booby fee. Isn’t that super generous of me?

Itsuki: What are you saying I have to do?

Aoi: That... is something for you to look forward to!

Itsuki: what do you think you’re doing——

(Aoi pushes Itsuki and suddenly Itsuki touches Yami’s boobies)

Aoi: Well, I’m out.

Itsuki: Huh?!! I- I’m sorry!

(Itsuki and Yami talking to each other but not looking at each other because they are off clothes)

Itsuk: Why are you here?

Yami: Aoi said we should go together.

Itsuki: Ofcourse.

Yami: I feel so hot. I wonder if I caught a cold in the rain. For some reason, my heart feels like it’s going to jump out of my chest. I don’t feel good, so I’m gonna get out.

Itsuki: (Thinking) Shoot! I was so caught up in her boobies that I forgot to look for the moles.

^ At the Laboratory ^

Jin: you actually do know where the escaped Witches are, don’t you?

Experimented girl: I know... where three are! There’s one who asked Aoi to hack her way into school.

Jin: (Thinking) Is she talking about the Princess?

The girl: if I tell you, you’ll really give me pills, right? You won’t kill me, right?

Jin: No. Of course not.

^ At the observatory 9pm ^

Aoi: So give us the scoop! How were Yami’s boobies?

Itsuki: How about we talk about why you’re laying out a futon?

Aoi: I can’t live at my place anymore ‘cause they started surveying work for the dam nearby. So I thought I’d come to stay with these guys.

Itsuki: You think you can just—-

Aoi: you don’t have the right to refuse me.

Itsuki: Why not?

Aoi: you already forgot? This will be your booby fee. I’m gonna take full advantage and move right in.

Yami: Ah, what’s a “booby fee”?

Itsuki: Nothing at all! (to Aoi) Hey, can I be straight with you for a sec.?

Aoi: What?

Itsuki: (Whispering to Aoi) your boobies are not worth that mu—-

(Aoi punches Itsuki)

Aoi: That’s no way to talk to a girl when you’ve seen her secret garden.

Itsuki: Whoa, tone it down a bit! Plus, you said you’d take off the garden fee!

Meanwhile...

Itsuki: ugh, this is just until you find a new place. And you gotta be good. It’ll be a problem if people not affiliated with the school are seen coming and going.

Aoi: Oh! If that what’s bothering you, don’t let it.

Itsuki: Huh? why not?

Aoi: You’ll see tomorrow. Oh, man.. I’m sleepy.

Itsuki: jeez, she just does what she wants.

^ At Itsuki’s room in their house ^

(looking at the thing that Yami’s showed to him lately)

Itsuki: There must some data in this thing. But it’s dangerous to turn it on. It might transmit my location. And this is an fertilized alien egg. Does that mean that thing was an alien, or... no... hold on. “fertilized alien egg” must be an abstract term for something else. I’m so funny, though. Up until recently, I’ve been looking through that telescope trying to find aliens. But when one appears in front of me, I can’t believe it. Anyway, if I’m gonna turn this thing on, I should do it in a city far away from here.

^ Tomorrow morning ^

Teacher A: Settle down. We’ve got a transfer student to introduce today.

Itsuki: (Thinking) There have been so many lately. It couldn’t be...

Teacher A: This is Aoi.

Aoi: Nice to meet you.

Chieko: (blushing)Another cute transferred in.

Yami: Aoi!

(Aoi walking to Itsuki’s chair)

Aoi: (Whispering to him) I’ll be joining the Astronomy Club, so I’ll be seeing you around, Pre.

^ At the Laboratory ^

Researcher: Master, The King is calling.

Jin: it’ll be there in a minute.

^ At the Kings Place ^

(It has two Kingdom, this King was a bad King and the first one to decide to kidnapped girls to be experimented and that’s they Called “witch”)

King Nik: Do you not understand how dangerous it is to have witches running loose in town, Jin?

Jin: There were 27 witches that escaped during transport. Through our efforts, eight were recovered. We picked up five corpses after they ran out of pills. Most of the rest probably also decomposed due to lack of pills.

Nik: But weren’t some of those all important pills stolen? You couldn’t stop even one of them, despite sending in a AA? We can’t have you forgetting that there’s more to your job than just supervising the witches. This plan is too important to be delayed any longer.

Jin: I understand your concerns, but there is not even the slightest delay in the plan. We’ve already made our next move.

Nik: And what that might be?

Jin: We sent out a witch.

Nik: Is one enough?

Jin: if we sent out more, the chance of rebellion increases. It’s extremely dangerous. Plus, she may be a single witch, but she’s an AA+. This will be no problem.

Nik: AA+? That should work. You’re dismissed.

^ Inside the Observatory room ^

Itsuki: you’re really pushing it! If a bunch of students transfer in at the same time, it looks fishy.

Aoi: you sure are fussy. I thought it all through. I made it so the data says I came from an Austrian National Academy.

Itsuki: Austria?

Aoi: I’m really Am half Austrian and can speak German, so there’s nothing strange about it. The academy I transferred from has much higher placement scores than this country prep school, so I was lucky accepted.

Itsuki: Sheeesh.

(Someone’s knocking at the door)

Itsuki: who could that be?

(someone entered in the Observatory)

Miya: E-Excuse me. Is this the Astronomy Club room?

Itsuki: Yeah. are you...

Miya: I... I transferred in today, and I wanted to join the Astronomy Club.

Itsuki: Oh? A transfer student? Another one?

Miya: Yes. I’m Miya.

Itsuki: Well then, please fill out this form to join the club.

Miya: O-Okay, sure!
