p.1
Risu / What you gonna do with this week's pay?
What do you mean? Saving it is, of course.
Again? Boring, man.
Or you can say 'hardworking'. What's with the sulking?
Well, you know, there's this plan I made. / And you'll do it with me.
Go save some money, idiot.
( Boys, take your pay. / And I'll take my 300n I lent you. / Ow, that's mean! )
Come on, don't be like that! / You won't abandon me to be lonely and miserable, right~?
You literally spent all this weekdays right next to me.
( Sleepover again? / You know the answer. )
That's that and this is this!
...Okay, what's this great plan of yours?
p.2
โWe're going on a trip.

10 AM : We're so not doing that two shifts logistics job ever again...
11 AM : You fine with Omurice box lunch? / Yeah. Let me take out the pepper. / Thanks.
12 AM : Isn't this a bit small? / The rental fee for this one was the cheapest. / Oh okay...
1 PM : [Manju] [Local Specialty] / If you want to eat it, just say so. I already know the exact reason why you slowed down. / ...Heh, was it obvious?
2 PM : This really is a place of undefined. Can't see shit. / Typical. The devils did their devilish job with their devilish taste. / ...That was a weird way to blasphemy the devils. You okay?
3 PM : What's the meaning of this? / ...That arrow looks like it wants us to go to the sky. / Yeah that totally explains the height.
4 PM : ...Dammit. It's almost empty now. / ...Well then. There's no way we can recharge the smoke...
...You okay?
No.
p.4
*rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle*
...then he stormed out to be a cross-eye. / Saying it's the only place who can't use magic can belong. / And guess what, he came back years later with black powder and money! / He even became able to use magic.
...
I heard later, he was born with deformed smoke vessels.
Oh rightโ there's cases like that... What's my case would be...?
He still drops by with presents sometimes.
That's a heartwarming story. / But I have to say, the cross-eyes isn't made up of good guys only... It's dangerous to give anyone a ride.
Bahaha! That is true!
Still, that's the kind of story I want to force this heavy-sleeper beside me to listen to.
Is that boy your partner?
Yes.
Tho' it's just a verbal promise.
*poke*
Well then, good for you!
You see, he had a hard time finding a partner, too. / Everybody only wants the people with good magic...
p.5
Well... can't deny, the more useful you are the better.
-Sorry.
-I always get help from you.
-Don't say that. You know we're partners now.
-Wish I had a magic, so I can be more useful...
Quit it.
You still think that way? That kinda pisses me off.
Aikawa... thought you were sleeping.
I was, then woke up 'cos you were noisy. (And my mask's hot)
My fault?
Yes it is! So take responsibility and let me sleep comfortably!
Woah!
Back there! Stay still! You'll fall!
...
...Umm, are you sure this is comfortable...?
p.6
Hey kidsโ We're here!
*dozed off*
...
...
Aikawa, wait. I think the village's that way...
It's fine! Now look ahead.
One hell of a view.
*swhoosh*
p.7
...Cool.
Right? It's my favorite spot.
You have been here?
Yeah. / I wanted to take you here.
...Shit. / This feels... nice.
!
[30m]
YOU MAD?!
You're such a blind to attacks from behind!
It's okay, you can learn more from me!
You learn how to read the mood!
*Splash!*
p.8
This feels nice.
...'This'? You mean a trip?
No, I mean... (trip itself's good, but) / Us, sharing some time and space together, being partner and all... / it'sโ nice.
...Did you notice that you sometimes say embarrassingly romantic things without reserve?
Shut up!
p.9
...This is all I want. Risu.
[Inn]
Finished! I'll leave the cooking to you.
On a second.
We spent less than I expected. This can be covered by next week's job...
p.10
' Aikawa, your words were sweet.'
[Smoke vessels extension surgery] [Alloy implant] [30% discount]
' But I need the conviction that I myself is... '
' and that as your partner, I am... '
' a proper magic-user that can pull my own weight. '

[Rent (2 years)]
[En's Magic Inspection Machine - Releasing next month]
I think this story has quite universal sentiment. Story of someone struggling with self-doubt and desire to prove themselves. It's story of Risu, of Aikawa, of a man who stormed out of country town, and of us.
Am I good enough? For society, for family, for friends? For you?
Am I good enough for myself?
Am I good enough to love and be loved?
Am I good enough to last the happiness I wanted in my life?
We try to find a solid answer through lifetime, and there's no such thing. It's painful, the absence of solidness in our existence. So we can't help but learn to be content with fragile belief made by ourselves. Whether the result of that belief is good or bad.
I chose the theme for Risu, but the frameโ 'a trip' was for Aikawa. Just like Risu shared his room with Aikawa, I thought he would've wanted to allow Risu in his place. But he had nowhere to call 'his own space', not really. That's why he took Risu to the beach. The spot from the episode 143, volume 21.
( My drawing doen't have the powerfulness of the original pannel... )
His ideal place of 'beautiful world' was there. And now Risu is in there, too. Of course that's all Aikawa can ever want. A fragile and naive beliefโ That he can last this happiness with Risu, who can't use magic and therefore can't be hunted.
But Risu wanted to find an answer if his existence has any significance as a magic-user and as a partner. He wanted to prove himself. He wanted the evidence. So he counldn't see that Aikawa was not a man of solidness as he pretends. ...And it was Aikawa who Risu wanted to show the evidence first.
It's a tragedy that they shared the same psychological root and never realized it.
