LIVE

In case some are anxious, not yet people, it’s not over yet. Rest assured, I intend to go through with this little project to the end. I hate unfinished stories.

Also, if any aren’t aware, Korotan D is now a thing! Furthermore, @blazardragon has already got Chapter 1 of its light novel sections translated! In addition, I have to thank her for the proofreading, since I don’t have access to the Japanese text myself. I am doing this off of a Chinese fan translation after all.

I also have a translation of the short sample of Korotan D that’s available on the official website here, though I can’t spare much more effort on that book beyond this.

Additionally, @greengargouille has completed a translation of Korotan A!

Previously on Korotan C: Princess Lea of Norgo Kingdom visits Kunugigaoka for a Debate Rally, but she’s decided to sneak out of her hotel and into the city. But when one hitman after another come for her life, it’s up to Class 3-E and Asano Gakushuu to be her bodyguards and escort her to safety.

Chapter 5

The next phase of the escort plan is to switch their mode of transport from bus to train. This time, the group with the still-disguised Nakamura will go on the first train, while the one with the real Lea goes second.

The escort guard will also be rearranged a little, and in case their appearances when they boarded the bus were seen by the hitmen, Karma suggests that Terasaka and Asano come along with him elsewhere away from the girls.

“No! I cannot agree to this.” Said Asano.

“Ha? Why?”

“I can agree to the baiting, but that doesn’t mean I can sit by and let the princess’ protection become slack. Not only can I do martial arts, I have escort skills as well, I am absolutely necessary for protecting her!”

Karma makes an evil grin at what he hears, and deliberately raised his volume. “Ah~ah, if Asano-kun said so, I guess there’s no helping it. After all, you did just promise the princess that you’ll always be together in the future~”

“Seriously!!?” exclaimed Maehara.

“Akabane! Do not say that in such an easily misunderstood way!” retorted Asano, but by then it’s already too late, as the Class E students huddle around him with words of praise and well-wishes.

“They’re already a pair? That’s incredible, as expected of Asano-kun.” “Congratulations!!”

Asano is close to fainting from this sudden development. Lea carries a faint smile as she looks at him, her cheeks slightly red.

“Not only does the princess have a big chest, her face also looks like that of an honour student, she’s way too sexy.”

But Okajima’s words immediately killed the jubilant atmosphere, and both boys and girls gave him a dismissive look. And after Karma translated his words to Lea, all of the girls shouted “how lewd!!” in unison. Seeing how even the princess is angered, Okajima can only hang his head in shame, shoulders slumped.

All of a sudden, Nagisa received a text from Kataoka. In order to gather intelligence on the background of the princess’ assassins, Takebayashi and Fuwa have infiltrated the embassy. There they stumbled upon Irina. “Huh? Why is B*tch-sensei at the embassy??”

Hearing Nagisa exclaim in surprise, everyone wondered just who got in contact with her, and that she got inside way too quickly. At Isogai’s behest, Nagisa sent back a response asking for further details.


The scene switches over to the train platform. Nakamura’s decoy team have already boarded a train bound for the city centre, and now Lea’s team is waiting for the next one heading in the embassy’s direction. Accompanying her are Asano and Nagisa; Isogai and Maehara will head for the carriage in front of them, while Muramatsu and Yoshida will head for the carriage behind.

As they sit and wait, Lea points out how there’re so many passengers. Tokyo is so populated. Asano worries that they can’t keep their guard up against all of them, but Nagisa reassures them that he’s pretty good at sensing the aura of people nearby, so just leave it to him.

When the train arrives at the station, after Nagisa’s group have boarded, Isogai and Muramatsu exchanged glances and their groups followed on.

With all the seats occupied, Nagisa’s group opt to stand by the door. Lea silently looks at the passing scenery outside, while Asano advises her not to stick so close to the window and pulled her closer to him.

Nagisa suddenly whispered and asked “Say, just what is it?” Though he’s aware that he asked him about something, he just gave him his usual quick sharp gaze before turning his attention elsewhere. As he turns, Nagisa could sense that there’s an obvious fluctuation in the wavelength of Asano’s conscious. Aiming for the peak of the fluctuation, Nagisa looked to Asano’s eyes and asked once more.

“Hey, Asano-kun, what is it about Princess Lea that caught your eye?”

Having been attacked while his guard was down, Asano’s mind went blank for a moment and gave an answer without thinking.

“I was shocked to hear her call me a boring person.”

As soon as he said it, Asano immediately regrets that he blabbed out something calamitous.

“Wha!? … that’s normally not a reason to like someone now is it?” Nagisa is shocked and flabbergasted at Asano’s unintended confession. Despite being the one to ask the question, he’s now feeling flustered at what he got, and conversely Asano who gave the answer is looking intimidating with a terrifyingly angry expression.

“I get it, I won’t tell anybody. Your face tells me that if I do, you’ll massacre me at school.”

“[Hey, what are you guys talking about? It looks fun, use English~]”

As Lea pouts at their exchange of words, Nagisa shudders as he senses some bloodlust behind him. Turning around, he sees that their owner is a man wearing a trench coat and a knit cap, standing behind them (but not directly) with his back turned.

When he relayed his discovery to his companions, Asano had a bit of doubt, but he can see that Nagisa’s gaze now is completely different from he was messing around before. With both his iris fully opened and gleaming, Nagisa’s look sends a shiver down Asano’s spine.

Pondering if they should call for support, Nagisa reaches for his phone, when Asano stops him. “Based on his stance, he’s probably waiting for a chance to perform the assassination. If we do anything rash, we’ll just leave ourselves open. Do you have anything for writing?”

From Nagisa’s pocket is his Korosensei’s Weaknesses notepad and pencil, plus the chewing gum he had just received from Korosensei. The notepad is too small for what Asano had in mind.

From Lea’s purse is a white handkerchief and a pink lipstick. Sufficient for his objective, Asano laid the handkerchief on Nagisa’s back and used the lipstick to write some big words on it. “There’s no need for us to directly confront him.”

Reading what he wrote, Nagisa immediately understood Asano’s intent. “We just need to stick this on his back, right? I’ll do it, I’m pretty good at this stuff.”

“What’re you going to do?”

Giving Asano a quick smile, Nagisa took the handkerchief, and opened the packaging on the chewing gum. After placing it in his mouth, he starts moving alone past the clusters of passengers towards the knit cap man, his head low and wearing a smile.

“[Is it alright to let Nagisa go alone?]” Lea was about to follow after him but was stopped by Asano.

“[We mustn’t make any sudden movements, or we’ll be discovered immediately. Look, he’s not deliberately avoiding anyone while moving, and yet no one has noticed him. He’s concealing his own presence.]”

Passing by the knit cap man from the side, Nagisa slowly lifted his hand, and used the chewing gum to stick the handkerchief onto his back. The assassin noticed nothing at all, and just continued to stand there. Nagisa smiles as he returns to Asano and Lea, the former getting chills just watching him.

“There shouldn’t be any problems now, it should take effect soon.”

Asano just stares at Nagisa with an incredulous look on his face.

“…just what are y-”

“Pfft” A young man on the seats snorted out a laughter, with a lady next to him trying to hold in a giggle herself. As though laughter is infectious, snickers filled the whole carriage, with everyone looking towards the knit cap man.

“[We can get off of the next station.]” Nagisa whispered, to which Lea lightly nodded.

The knit cap man finally realised the state of the carriage, and that the surrounding passengers are all sneaking in looks at him. He lowered his bloodlust towards the movements of Lea’s company as much as possible, but even so, the feeling of being bathed in attention hasn’t faded at all. With the laughter getting louder and louder, the assassin became more and more panicked, he now has no way of carrying out an assassination.

“It’s working Asano-kun! Let’s get off at the next station.”

The train slowly pulls into its next station and comes to a halt. The doors on Lea’s side opened, and with plenty of passengers pouring in, the signal for the next journey started to ring. When the doors prepare to close, Nagisa got off in time, followed by Asano.

But when he looked back at the closing doors, Lea was still in the car. Using his body to block the doors, he reached for Lea’s hand and pulled her out of the train, rescuing her before it took off again.

“It’s because you didn’t explain things properly that that happened!” Asano angrily glared at Nagisa.

“I’m sorry, I did try to convey it to her…”

“What did you say?”

“[We can get off of the next station]. Like that.”

“That’s too vague! [We have to get off at the next station.] It should be like that.”

“[I’m sorry.]” Nagisa apologised to them both.

“[It’s okay Nagisa, in fact that was very exciting.]”

Lea just noticed that her hand is still in Asano’s grasp, her face turning red. They both pulled back their hands at the same time.

“[So what was written on the handkerchief?]”

“[‘I’m currently on my first errand’, like that.]”

“[Well you do have a gift for humour after all~]” Hearing such praises, Asano feels that he’s recovered some points from earlier before.

(TN: First Errand, AKA Hajimete no Otsukai, is a reality variety show that follows different kids as they go about their first errand alone (with very minimal supervision), like going to a shop and buy something back home. You can imagine how nasty a prank Asano’s note is now.)


After Asano contacted the Nakamura team that went before them, as well as their other escorts whom are still on their train, everyone gathers once more.

The kids find it vexing that they can’t shake off their pursuers, whether by bus or train. Taxis are a no-go as well, there’s too little room for movement should anything happen.

Karma then brings up something that he finds strange: the assassins thus far have been easily fended off by them, and yet these same unremarkable assassins have perfectly and effortlessly grasped their movements. Such a mismatch is rather curious.

He had given the possibility of tracking devices some thought, but Lea had already switched out her clothes. Maybe her belongings then?

Aside from her lipstick, mirror and phone, nothing else is in Lea’s purse. Believing that her phone is worth examining, he suggests that they try installing Mobile Ritsu inside of it.

On Nagisa’s inquiry, she tells him that because she’s stored on the memory card, they just need to place one onto the designated phone to perform the install. He also asks her that if she should discover tracking software or anything suspicious, let them and Kataoka’s investigation team know about it.

As instructed, Nagisa then took out the memory card from his own phone and placed into Lea’s, explaining to her that it’s to check if it had been hijacked.


Meanwhile, Asano is getting anxious. They have to move soon, even if they have to walk.

“What about this?” Yoshida was checking something a short distance away, and confidently returns with a bike.

(TN: Apparently, bike rental services in Japan are often located near railway stations and landing points for ships and ferries for easy access)

“Bikes huh? Not bad, and the speed is good, let’s use this!” acclaimed Karma, with Asano likewise nodding.

“Alright! Let’s head to the embassy on bikes!!”

“Look, there’s plenty more to borrow over there,” pointed Yoshida. As the Class E students gather with their bikes, Asano brings his over to Lea.

“[Do you want to sit behind me?]”

“[Yes!!]” Lea strongly nodded at Asano’s suggestion.

The riders begin their advance, with Asano and Lea in the centre and Nagisa and others in the perimeter. With Mobile Ritsu’s guidance, they deliberate chose roads with plenty of traffic, and as they get further away from the station, they accelerated their pace.

“Man, this feels great!” Yoshida exclaimed happily. Now on a slope, their speed increased, and cars passed them by in the cold winter air.

“So cold!” cried Muramatsu. Behind him is Asano, with Lea leaning her hand atop his shoulder, her face brimming with a smile and her blue iris dazzling under the sunlight.

“[This is so much fun!!]” she shouted, as the bike squad ride past the slope like the wind.

(TN: A side thought post-translation regarding the Hajimete no Otsukai prank.

My instincts tell me that Lea probably isn’t referring to the show itself. Perhaps, “hajimete no otsukai” is probably so well known among the Japanese populace by now that people like author Kuma Ataro probably thought that the concept of “first errand” applies the same way anywhere in the world. 

That, or he didn’t think that far ahead when he wrote the joke and is therefore an oversight, though minor in the scheme of things)

Howdie folks. Yes, it’s been ages since my last Profile, or post for that matter, but when work gets more and more hectic, especially if your project is a bottomless pit of dysfunction and staff leave the team you’re on, it really drains enthusiasm away from some of one’s hobbies.
Anyway, like with Muramatsu, I liked how Matsui fleshed out Yoshida as the resident mechanic, and the way he synchronises with some of his other classmates too.
Also, please note the different disclaimer from usual for the remaining 3 Profiles


The Baidu forumer from before hadn’t posted any profiles beyond Yada’s, so this time, main credits for scans of Yoshida’s profile go to young-il-long-kiyoshi
Screenshots of Yoshida’s profile are in the following link:

Yoshida’s profile

Furthermore, this time it’s a direct Japanese -> English translation by me, but nonetheless, while I have endeavoured to keep things as accurate as possible, not everything may be successfully conveyed across

Yoshida Taisei

E-26 Yoshida Taisei (吉田 大成) – risking his life for his comrades, Class E’s shocktrooper

“You can blow away anything you don’t like with speed!!“

Description

  • A muscle head who likes to rush in, think later. As someone who is greatly considerate of his friends and comrades, he is willing to rely on students outside of the Terasaka Group as well.
  • A lover of bikes. While he’s certainly never rode on public roads, as a result of polishing his skills on premise (of his family shop), his riding technique can put professionals to shame.
  • He and Muramatsu are practically harmonised. No matter how difficult the situation gets, it is their creed to tackle it vigorously.

Code Name: Homebase (ホームベース), Sugino’s idea

This is probably a symptom of his occupation (as a baseball player), but every time he sees Yoshida he feels like he wants to step on him. Not out of anger or for any particular reason of course.

(TN: for those how hadn’t noticed it before, yours truly included, the contours of Yoshida’s face resemble a home plate from a baseball field)

Karasuma’s Assassination Aptitude (graded on a scale of 6)

Karasuma is captivated by Yoshida’s close combat style, the way he leverages his blessed physique like a human bullet. It appears his training has helped him excel at being alert of his surroundings, to the point that he can perceive the moments right before he touches his back from behind and the likes. He looks forward to his progress.

- His tackles that make full use of his body’s strengths are effective even against sturdy foreign opponents
- During the Cops and Robbers game, Yoshida was able to sense Karasuma’s presence, when many students failed to do the same until he touched them. Is he an esper!?

  • Strategy/Planning: 2
  • Commanding/Leadership: 2
  • Execution (Ability to carry out plans): 5
  • Technique (Traps, weapons, preparations, etc): 5
  • Scouting/Intelligence Gathering: 3
  • Politics/Negotiations: 2

B*tch-sensei’s Fashion Check (credits to young-il-long-kiyoshi)

Seriously, he gives the vibe of a no-good middle school brat. Still, the way his fashion sense matches up with his age and stature isn’t bad at all, right? From here onwards, as he becomes more and more experienced with the world, I expect that his tastes will continue to refine themselves.

School Uniform

Yoshida also does without a necktie. At 15 years old, he’s probably at an age where he’s not going to steal bikes nor want to tie somebody up.

(TN: Matsui is probably just jesting here)

Street Clothes

The only one within the Terasaka Group to dress himself smartly. Like with bike customs, clothes are a source of worry for what to spend his money on.


Character Relationships

- Nakamura Rio (addressed as Nakamura) -

The former delinquent Nakamura displays an interest in bikes to Yoshida simply because it looks refreshing, no ill intentions whatsoever.
When Terasaka wrecked the bike that Korosensei had poured his heart into, both Yoshida and Nakamura criticised him. Nakamura often badgers him to “give me a ride!”, but in truth Yoshida is feeling embarrassed, possibly due to the thought of going for a ride with a girl sitting behind his back.


- Kanzaki Yukiko (addressed as Kanzaki) -

The Terasaka Group usually carry an arrogant air around them, but in Yoshida’s case, it’s only when he turns to the seat on his left (ie Kanzaki’s desk) that his expression softens up.


- Hazama Kirara (addressed as Hazama) -

Hazama notices that Yoshida softens around Kanzaki, wearing a broad grin as she watches him from behind (she’s seated to his bottom-left). She’s sensitive when it comes to people’s feelings, and is secretly amused at the framework of relationships within the classroom.


- Mimura Kouki (addressed as Mimura) -

At first he made fun of his air guitar, but after watching a performance in secret and seeing his overflowing fearlessness, as well as his immeasurable passion and energy, his gaze towards him has turned into one of respect.


- Takebayashi Koutarou (addressed as Takebayashi) -

From the case of the maid café, Yoshida thought Takebayashi was inadvertently amazing for creating such a weakness out of Terasaka, and frankly he feels he’s stronger than anyone else in the class.


- Sugaya Sousuke (addressed as Sugaya) -

Every day Yoshida solicits Sugaya, asking him that when he inherits his bike shop someday, whether he can count on him to handle the painting for his customs.


- Horibe Itona (addressed as Itona) -

They’re the Class E technology squad. Yoshida handles the structure side of things, and with Itona being in charge of the circuitry, in most cases the results are compatible. Their teamwork are also superb.


Matsui-sensei’s Exclusive Behind the Scenes Data

  • Yoshida got to know his partners in crime Terasaka and Muramatsu in their first and second years of middle school respectively. Together with Muramatsu, their roles are often to rush in straight ahead but get hurt in the process. However, their courage to do such things comes from their understanding of each other’s toughness and from sizing up their opponents’ strength. The suicidal operations that they conducted under this courage never fails to earn the class’ gratitude.

  • The three of them have an inseparable relationship that can’t be broken even if they tried. The teamwork between the Terasaka Group is something that everyone acknowledges.

  • He’s been making plans with Muramatsu on a ramen shop where you can see bikes, possibly even serving food on them.
    (TN: I’m really unsure about this last part)

  • Yoshida firmly focuses on his future with a sense of excitement. His fellowship with Muramatsu is probably going to be something that’ll last a lifetime.

June 2016? My goodness, it’s been that long!? Sigh, my work life…

Previously on Korotan C: Princess Lea of Norgo Kingdom visits Kunugigaoka for a Debate Rally, but she’s decided to sneak out of her hotel and into the city. Upon saving her from an assassination attempt, Class 3-E and Asano Gakushuu are now bodyguards on a mission to escort her to safety.

Spoilers beware, and remember, this is not intended to be a full word for word translation. This is only so that you have an idea of what is happening.

I have no guarantee that these are 100% accurate


Chapter 4

Taxi would be the quickest way to reach the embassy, but should their enemies discover them, it’ll become easy to mark and ambush. Thus, Karma suggests that they use methods that include crowds of people to make things harder for them.

They’ll use public transport whenever they can, and switch the mediums of travel too. From here, they can take the bus, then switch to train at the station. Of course, some of them have to stay with the princess.

Nakamura then suggests maybe it’ll help if the princess wears a different outfit. Like, she can put on a Kunugigaoka uniform, then someone else dresses in the princess’ outfit.

That idea will put the person dressed in the princess’ outfit in danger of being assassinate though. “Well, even if I say that, you’ll still do it anyway,” Karma quickly realises.

“Same hairstyle, same colour, isn’t that just right? Exactly like the princess who’s being marked! Incidentally, you better protect me, my meat shield!!” said Nakamura.

“Hey! How many times are you going to use me as a meat shield!?” retorted Terasaka.

After Nakamura and Lea swapped their clothing, Yoshida brings the princess a knit cap for her to completely hide her blonde hair.

“Class E keeps on demonstrating an unfathomable level of prowess, whether at the Athletic Festival or the 2nd Trimester Finals, just where did your strength came from?” questioned Asano.

“Well… it was probably… the result of us fighting to the death at the precipice that was Class E…” answered Isogai.

“Isogai-kun… is getting better and better at lying…” remarked Kayano (probably)

“Well… it’s not like he can say that it was all thanks to a Mach 20 superbeing,” replied Nagisa (probably)

Unbeknownst to everyone, someone is spying on them from the shadows.

“Everyone has matured well, getting more and more reliable. Should anything happen, Sensei will be there to help, so just go along with your own daring ideas!”

Suddenly, a dog barks from behind the octopus and he screams. Karma and Asano both heard him, to the former’s exasperation.

The students travel in 2 groups, with Lea grouped together with Asano, Nakamura, Karma and Terasaka. En route to the bus station, Lea gives the ambassador a call, telling him that everything’s fine, and she’s heading now to the embassy.

When the bus arrives, Karma and Asano boarded first to make sure passengers are OK, with Nakamura and Terasaka keep up their guard from behind.

Karma sits at a window seat closest to the emergency exit, with Lea next to him, and Asano standing next to her. Nakamura and Terasaka then sit to her front and rear, completing a cross-formation that defends Lea in the center for their travel.

But during the bus journey, Karma decides to lighten things up with small talk, to Asano’s chagrin.

“Hey, don’t you forget that we are supposed to be protecting the princess! Don’t relax your guard, we’re not here for sightseeing!”

“While keeping up your guard is important, it’s still a long way to the embassy, so there’s no way to maintain such a high tension for the whole trip.”

“It’s because you carry such optimism like so many others who’ve given up on hard work that you…”

“Besides, if you want to pursue perfection in being a bodyguard, then before the princess made her suggestion, you should’ve taken the first step, so being adaptable is another essential skill to have.”

“I don’t need you to teach me how to be a bodyguard! And on the social side of things, I have plenty of experience.”

Lea watches with amusement at the banter between the two.

She remarks that “Karma” is an odd name, is it common in Japan? He reckons he’s the only one in Japan to have it, it’s a name that his always-travelling parents with their strange tastes came up with.

Isn’t that lonely, what with his parents not being at home? He thinks he’s actually freer this way, as long as they don’t mind his business he’s got no objections. Lea feels envious at the relationship the Akabanes have.

Karma then brings her attention to Asano’s family. Normally, if you have the school’s board chairman for a father, then you would get all sorts of special treatment, and everything is fine and dandy, but not for Asano-kun. Never mind special treatment, the way he kept working hard to stay at the top is considered “that’s how it should be”, that’s just…

[“You know nothing! Can you cease with your blabbering! Since ancient times, the only ones who become rulers are the strong. That is my father’s compass of education, and one that I believe to be correct. I never yearned for any warmth between father and son, and I have no interest in discussing such relationships with someone who likes to gossip like Akabane. So whether it’s this guy, or my father, I will rule over you all, over all of humanity. That is my calling, and I take joy in living in this calling.”]

[“Pfft,”] blurted Nakamura. [“So cool, Asano-kun! But I think that’s just a load of hubris.”]

[“There’s no helping it if it’s seen as hubris, although, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to be undeterred by the gazes of others and stick to your beliefs. But if it were me, there’s no way I would ignore how others around me sees things, or the expectations from my parents or my citizens. I would stick with my beliefs while carrying all the pressure and responsibility, and I would hate to act like I’m losing to that pressure!”]

[“Indeed, running away is no good.”] (Don’t know who says this)

Seeing his retaliation, Lea lightly pats him on his upper arm.

[“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Gakushuu is too perfect, it’s boring.”]

[“Expectations from others is proof of your worth, and as for how this strength is to be used, it’s completely decided by me, by my freedom. I decide where my life leads to.”]

(He was so serious that Karma and Nakamura opted not to tease him here)

[“From now on, I shall etch your words into my heart.  I will believe in myself and do the things that I believe in, and I shall not falter and continue forward, no matter what those around me say. But conversely, please remain in contact with me as much as possible.”]

[“Then you had better keep up with my growth.”]

Seeing how the two have been using such tough language against one another, Karma can’t help but feel excited. [“My oh my~ Don’t you think those two suit each other a lot?”]

[“Can you not make such low-levelled jokes!?”] Asano angrily stares at Karma.

[“Aha, he’s angry now~ Asano-kun is so cute~!”] [“He does like the princess huh~!”]

Asano’s strong tone only got Karma and Nakamura more fired up.

[“When this is over, if you dare to spread this sort of rumour, I’ll use all the power in the school to massacre you!”]

[“So scary~”]

She may’ve been the butt of the joke, but Lea holds in her laughter and turns to the windows. The appearance of her excitedly gazing out at the scenery of the passing streets presents a temperament of both girlish innocence and royalty. Asano involuntarily looked at this from a side view, but when he suddenly sensed a devilish gaze coming from Karma, he hurriedly turned back towards the front.

“Hey! Can’t you all speak with some simpler English? I couldn’t hear a lick of it!” said Terasaka.

“Man, you just had to do it, breaking up this lovely atmosphere?!” retorted Nakamura, as the bus slowly approaches the train station.

Meanwhile, the second group had already taken another bus, arrived at the train station and got into formation. Some went to check the surroundings for any assassins that may be in hiding, while others remain nearby gathering intelligence on the situation.

In front of the station, Nagisa and Kayano are throwing out snacks to the pigeons nearby, with more and more gathering, and even landing on their heads and shoulders and pecking at the snacks in their hands. Isogai and Maehara, on guard nearby, wonder if they’re alright, but it’s part of Karma’s plan, what can they do?

The “escort” bus now arrives at the station. Maehara spotted that one of the people waiting in line to board is dressed in black and reading a newspaper. And as the passengers gradually exit the vehicle, he leaves the queue and approaches them.

Isogai can see that the man has something in his hand, probably a syringe. He calls out to Nagisa before the duo runs towards the bus.

“CLAP” With a sound from Nagisa’s hands, the pigeons all flew towards the airspace around the bus. The man in black was distracted for one moment, and when he looked back, he’s face to face with his target. Well, someone who was supposed to be his target, smiling.

“Eh??? Did you see the princess?” Seeing Nakamura’s grin, the assassin knows that he messed up, and Isogai takes this chance to bat away his syringe with a rolled-up notebook. Not giving him any leeway, from behind Nakamura, Asano sends a kick his way and knocks him out.

The assassin had two more accomplices, and after seeing his defeat, they retreated to their car. But when they opened the door, they saw that the wheels had all fallen down to the side of the road. Next thing they knew, they’re strapped to their seats with duct tape.

[“You are under arrest.”] Nearby the station was Korosensei, dressed in police uniform while chewing bubble gum and playing with the duct tape roll. Next to him is Yoshida with a wrench and Muramatsu with a carjack, snickering that the assassins were way too obvious with their black clothes, black car and bubbling bloodlust.

“Korosensei, did you come to help us?” asked Nagisa. Having heard from Karasuma and Kataoka, at first Korosensei wanted to bring the princess to a safe place at Mach speed. But since he’s not allowed to do that, he can only support the kids, ensuring that the princess makes it to the destination and that his students are safe as well.

By the way, he took the chance to clean away the pigeon feathers and droppings on Nagisa. “Wha? When did that happen!?”

As thanks, he gives the leftover snacks to a delighted Korosensei. In exchange, he gives his bubble gum to Nagisa before disappearing at Mach speed.

1 - 12

13 - 21

22 - 24

As a reminder, the Abilities, rated from 0 to 5, starting from the top and going clockwise are:

  • Physical Ability (体力, includes strength, endurance, stamina, etc.)
  • Mobility (機動力)
  • Close Quarters Assassination (近接暗殺)
  • Long Distance Assassination (遠距離暗殺)
  • Academic prowess (学力, ie ability to think, learn and acquire knowledge)
  • Characteristic Skill (固有スキル)

The Characteristic Skill for these 3 are as follows:

25. Yada Touka - B*tch-style Negotiation Techniques
26. Yoshida Taisei - Master of Two Wheels
27. Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery - Transfer Student Combo: Super Mobile Drone
28. Horibe Itona - King of Inventors

Some notes:

  • For Yoshida’s Skill, keep in mind he’s a vehicle mechanic
  • Ritsu’s stat distribution are interesting to say the least. It’s neat her Skill is a cooperation-type too, rather than something individual.
  • The word for Itona’s Skill, 発明王 (King of Inventors), is actually the same nickname the Japanese have for Thomas Edison (not sure of their reasoning though)

And that’s everyone! So nice to have the complete set.
