Translators Forward

This is the translation of the first Full Metal Panic novel, Fighting boy meets girl.

This is a Spanish to English translation, the source novel being the one translated in Spanish

by Menudo-Fansub. I would like to thank them for allowing me to take the novel and translate it,

especially to Kapia (a wonderful girl, who also helps me translating the hard parts, and recently

she accepted to be the second corrector) and Captain_spiff, the ones who translated and

corrected the Spanish novel.

My thanks also go to Hotaru, my corrector, for helping me with my English, pointing out the

mistakes and offering alternatives, UltimateKane (who accepted this novel to appear on his blog).For those wondering, I dont have a blog and I dont intend to make one soon (or ever, for that

matter), Im not the type to start writing things on the internet, thats why I needed someone

elses blog to host these files.

This being a third-language-translation, it might not be 100% accurate, but I tried to make it

as good and accurate as I could. Also, please forgive the eventual errors, both me and Hotaru are

quite busy and tired, so there might be some mishaps; we try our best however to avoid that, and

hopefully we will improve in the future.

Prologue

"Sousuke, pay attention!"

In contrast to the after-school uproar, Kaname Chidori spoke really seriously. A willful girl, her

long black hair came to her hips and was kept in place by a red ribbon. With her index finger

raised, she gave instructions to the student who was in front of her.

"We need two-thousand sheets of letter-size paper. They come in packages of five hundred

leaves, so slip off and snatch four of those. Do you understand?"

"Roger," he replied firmly.There was little in Sousuke that did not denote firmness: his words, the collar of his shirt and

his movements were all rigid. His face was tense and was relentless.

He threw a glance at the teachers office door.

"You know where the role is, right?"

"Yes. In the background, in the back, next to the copier."

"Good. Lets review the plan."

"You will create a distraction by starting a conversation with Mr. Sayama. While you have his

attention, I will steal the role and withdraw quickly."

Satisfied, Kaname nodded.

"Don't call it a 'theft' actually. After all, it is not our fault that there was a misunderstanding

leading to poor printed flyers for the Drawing Club! We're not stealing, just recovering losses."

Determined not to object to these justifications, Sousuke focused on another problem.

"What if your distraction is not enough? The teacher might realize."

"Your job is to devise a plan, to find a way of entering and leaving without being seen."

"Very well, I will devise a plan."

"Well, Sousuke, lets go."

Kaname was the one who guided. She went towards the rear of the office, greeting all the

teachers she knew. At the end she came to the over-used photocopier in the back.

Alongside the nearly obsolete machine, a professor of social studies of about forty years was

sitting and qualifying exams. Kaname was between the man and the machine, hoping that was

enough to prevent him from seeing Sousuke.

"Hello, sir. Sayama!"

The chair of Mr. Sayama squeaked while it rotated to greet her.

"Miss. Chidori. What brings you here today?"

"Well, I have a question that I forgot to ask yesterday."

"When we were talking about the ancient India?"

"Yes. I must know this: in the ancient India, they all had rare names like Chandragupta II?"Mr. Sayama laughed loudly.

"This really is a strange question! But the name has a meaning particular. You see, the

Gupta Empire-"

POP!!!

Following the sound similar to a firecracker, a thick white smoke was spread through the air

from behind Kaname.

"What the ...?"

By the time that Kaname turned around to see what was happening, she could not see more

than 5 inches in front of her.

"What is happening?" asked Sayama, coughing violently.

The smoke began to spread through the teachers office. One of the other teachers from the

office yelled, then another, too. Suddenly, everyone was in a complete state of panic.

"What is happening?" Asphyxiating, Kaname leaned on a shelf nearby.

Someone grabbed her firmly by the arm.

"Sousuke?"

"Mission complete. Quick, withdrawal."

"Oh"

With packages of paper under one arm and Kanames waist under the other, Sousuke

emerged from the smoke; then ran toward the exit.

"Help! It's a fire!" cried a teacher.

The ceiling sprinklers were activated, soaking the room.

"Help! Its a flood!" cried another teacher.Crossing the racket, Sousuke and Kaname ran from the teachers office and continued

running until they were safe in a very distant corridor.

Kaname regained her breath.

"Here, we will be safe," Sousuke said.

Both were soaking wet from head to feet because of the good intentions of

the sprinklers.

Looking somewhat less than happy, Kaname drained the water from her skirt.

"What the hell was that?"

"A smoke-bomb," he answered emphatically.

"What?"

"You told me to devise a plan. The smoke bomb prevented any visibility in the office, so we

could get the paper in a safe manner and without them being able to see our faces. It is a lot moreeffective than a simple distraction. To avoid any suspicion, later I will make some phone calls,

passing as a member of the IRA or the JRA or any other terrorist organization, claiming

responsibility. That way-"

Wack!

Kaname connected her right hook and sent Sousuke giving turns to the ground. He remained

motionless for about three seconds. Then, he got up quickly.

"That hurts."

"Shut up! You... You madman obsessed with war! What story did that come from? Look,

you've spoiled the role!"

Kaname rubbed the soaked packages of paper in his face.

"Maybe we could still use them after we dry them."

"You're a big idiot! I do not care if you're some kind of undercover mercenary; you need to

learn a little common sense!"

Sousuke stayed silent and began to sweat. Looked like a cat that had been scolded for

bringing home a slaughtered mouse as a gift: he had tried to help, his way.

To Kaname, Sousuke's good intentions hampered the task to scold it.

(Oh, good grief) she thought, putting her hands on her head.

After all, it was not Sousukes fault for having grown up in areas of international war and

having no idea of how to live in peaceful Japan.

Consequently, no matter how much he tried, all he did seemed to go out badly for him,

creating problems where they did not exist before. Almost everyone in the school thought that he

was an idiot at the highest level.(Damn! What have I done to deserve someone so helpless?) Kaname regretted internally.

However, Kaname already knew the answer beforehand. If she did not know, she would

have stopped being his friend long ago. Kaname had the obligation to get into Sousukes affairs,

to lecture him and deal with the consequences of his disasters. There was a reason why she could

not hate him.

Suddenly she recalled the many complex reasons why Sousuke was the way he was.

She knew that Sousuke had another identity, one kept secret from the other students, who

thought he was nothing more than a useless guy obsessed with war.


10/10

Outside the schools walls, Sousuke Sagara was also a first class soldier, part of a military

organization of the first category.

Kaname knew this from that certain incident.

It was by that incident that Kaname and Sousuke met. Kaname recalled the circumstances oftheir meeting: there was a situation of great danger, feelings emerging and a great mystery... one

that even today remains partially unresolved. The consequences of that event could still be felt in

their daily lives.

The way it is, it all began a month ago...
