Open the Door (扉を開けて)

Hey, how come Neko always sits in the back?

That's Neko's reserved seat.

The beach, the beach! It's gotta be the beach!

The mountains are better. It's quiet.

Of course, the hot springs!

It's popular right now!

Hey Neko, come over here!

We're trying to decide where we want to go for our seminar!

No way, no way. Neko doesn't get excited about these things.

Wait!

Hey, we don't have enough people for tomorrow's drinking party.

Hiroko, Neko, will you join us?

Will any men be there?

Of course!

Okay, I'll come!

Hey Neko, let's BOTH go.

I have something to do.

Come on, Neko, you're always like this.

Neko-chan, there's a man coming that's interested in you.

Sorry, maybe another time.

OK then, I'll find a good man instead.

Somehow I never get to meet men socially.

What's that? Let me see.

What's this... a frog or a hippopotamus?

A dinosaur, Gokudo-san.

Gokudo-san?

Gokudo Dinosaur.

He has ferocious eyes so I call him "Gokudo".

I see.

Ferocious eyes, nastly looking face, and generally ugly.

Three strikes, he's out!

That's a good one!

Outrageous!

I'm Neko, a literature major at a private university.

My real name is Negishi Miyako. Everyone takes the first and last letters and calls me "Neko".

Hi, it's Neko.

What happened yesterday?

I waited 2 hours at the intersection.

The tickets were too good to waste so I invited Hayako...

but I wanted to see it with you.

Uh-huh, sorry. Later.

Yes.

Hi, how's my "comrade of the full moon"?

Hi! Haruka-chan.

Sure, sure... thanks, but don't call me Haruka - "CHAN".

It's TOO CRUEL for a guy over 20 yrs.

So, how'd it go?

He's coming, at 8 o'clock at the place we decided on.

I'm depending on you.

You can count on me. See ya.

TOBIRA O AKETE

Hi Neko-chan, been waiting?

Oh, you ALWAYS show up in strange places.

Oh yeah! Beautiful, wonderful, tres bien.

The view of Tokyo isn't bad.

Hurry, get down!

You scared the hell out of me!

Looks like he hasn't shown yet, that Yamagishi Keiichiro guy.

You're five minutes late! I know you've been busy with your dates.

No, no... just couldn't get away from work.

I dissolved the latest relationship last night.

You dumped ANOTHER ONE?

I'm always searching for fresh love. That's the destiny of a city boy.

This is Saiki Haruka.

He's a playboy... rather than a city boy.

As you see, he's a teleporter,

...and the only one I've found to be my partner...

...so far.

Find out anything about his power?

Nope. If I knew that, I wouldn't ask you to investigate.

I noticed Yamagishi Keiichiro because of his body odor... just that.

I'm in the same language class as him. When there's a moon, he smells like he hasn't taken a bath for a week.

That's the time when our powers are at a peak.

It's not a pretty story to tell anyone.

Ye, who openeth the door...

What was that?

Looks like he's arrived.

Anyway, let's check him out.

Hi Neko-chan!

Hi!

Your invite was in the notebook I borrowed from you.

Welcome to our full moon meeting, Keiichiro-kun.

I knew you'd come.

For sure.

By the way, who's that behind you?

You can tell?

Well, it looks he's one of us.

Who's the old man?

Old Man?! Oh COME on!

He's Saiki Haruka-san, a teleporter.

Nice to meet ya.

Ah ha! I KNEW you were like me, Neko-chan!

I kinda of picked up on it.

Now that we know, what's your power?

Well, that's... kinda...

You don't look like the shy type.

Mind your own business.

Wow! Neko-chan, you've got a GREAT power!

Ya gotta be kidding. Why would I do something this stupid?

I thought YOU were doing this, Keiichiro-kun.

Not me!

So what the hell's going on here!

Where ARE we?!

We're being pulled in...

What should we do, Neko?

Don't ask ME!

Dammit, we're trapped in another reality!

We'll have to think our way out.

That won't help.

You don't give a damn about much do you, Boy?

What a nervous old man.

Not again with the Old Man, Old Man!

If I'm a boy, that makes you an old man.

God, you're an obnoxious brat.

Calm down, Old Man.

Now you've pissed me off!

Who cares?

This is hardly the time for that!

Aaaa Neko, HE went somewhere else!

What's going on?!

What's this door for?

Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla! Neryulla!

What's this all about?

I don't know.

O-oh come on!

Hold it!

Oh no! NO... NOOOOO!!!!

What do you suggest?

Aren't you going to do something?

We've been awaiting your revival, Neryulla-sama.

Huh? Neryulla? Me?

Who the hell are you?

I'm a priest of the Neryulla's world, Ladin.

L-Ladin?

Neryulla-sama...

Please, give us the words of revival.

W-words?

I don't even know WHERE we are.

This is a revival landmark of Naka no Kuni.

Naka no Kuni?

Yes.

From a 500 year sleep, you've returned...

...as Queen Neryulla-sama of Naka no Kuni legend.

The queen of legend?

I'll tell you the details later.

If you don't speak, the crowds will get restless.

The words of revival?

That is so. You KNOW the words!

Go ahead... go ahead.

Let's see...

"The day of humiliation is nearly over."

"Then" ..um.. "I will open the door."

Neko, you knew the words?

I can't figure it out, they just popped into my head.

It was a moving speech.

Truly evidence of your revival.

They're REAL gemstones!

AWESOME!

It's the sword Neryulla-sam used.

This is?

Soldiers of Nishi no Kuni. Neryulla-sama run!

I won't let you get away.

You're the queen of the legend, Neryulla?

So you've returned.

Who is that man?

He's lieutenant, Altire.

How unusual, ground colored hair.

I'll cut your head off and deliver it to Duran III!

U... come off it, Altire.

I'm Negishi Miyako, a freshman literature major.

I'm no queen of a legend!

We came here by accident!

She's rigth! That's the way it is!

We can talk about it, right? Talk?

Neryulla-sama!

T-they disappeared!

W-which way?

Over there!

Stop you idiots!

I'm just a city boy. Don't ya get it?

I have no background for this kinda stuff!

Neryulla-sama, follow me!

Ladin, is strong and... wonderful.

Neryulla-sama hurry!

Neryulla-sama.

Neko?

You have THAT KIND of power?!

Haruka, that was thrilling.

My magic is much stronger than in Tokyo.

It's because of that moon.

Neryulla, your powers are mysterious.

Leave it to me!

My magic is really hot.

Hey Neko, don't push yourself.

Neryulla-sama.

I've resolved to break you!

Who gives a damn about some legend?

What? It doesn't do a thing to me.

Oh, Altire is...

Incredible magic!
