Amateur Translation of Saiki K Light Novel Volume 2 Chapter 1

Link for mobile (hopefully)
HELLO fandom of Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan. Apparently neither of the "Extra Story of Psychics" light novels are translated, so I decided to read this one in Japanese and translate the first chapter of it, which is titled "The Disaster of Toritsuka Reita". Also included the illustrations!
This story is about Saiki, Toritsuka, Kaidou, and Kuboyasu encountering each other in an abandoned building. There is a section told from each of their perspectives. Here's a preview:
Toritsuka Reita's Perspective
My name is Toritsuka Reita. I am a spirit medium. Wait, why are you closing the book?! Please forgive me. Even though my turn had finally come like this…
Huh? Why isn't Saiki-san here?
Of course he isn't. After all, the person with the leading part in this novelization is me. Again, why are you closing the book?! Seriously, please stop.
Sigh… Even though I'm not a psychic, the fact that I can tell everyone reading this is about to close the book… is sad… To begin with, what even is a psychic… Telepathy, psychokinesis, x-ray vision… it's unfair! Moreover, do you all know? That, amazingly, Saiki-san can also turn into a girl?! It's unfair!!
I know that each of Saiki-san's powers comes with a drawback. Saiki-san is also always saying "good grief drawbacks drawbacks" as though he's reciting a nenbutsu. You know that, right? However, HOWEVER, even so it's still unfair!! I can't believe it. To think that even though I also have powers, I can't do anything?
Ordinarily, I see ghosts and talk to them. That's it?
And Saiki-san can also astral project? And on top of that, he can also take out the spirit of a person who's been knocked out… what the hell is up with that… isn't that weird…
If a psychic can do that, if a "psychic" can do all that, then isn't the category of "spirit medium" useless by now…
Because of that, recently, through extreme training I was just barely able to learn this new technique where I could let spirits possess me. I worked hard because I thought that, after all, it isn't good to just stay the same all the time. It was a hellish day in which I continuously fought off the real fear that my screentime would decrease with the introduction of new characters…

If I ever find that a page on my tumblr blog is not the best place to host this, I'll edit and reblog this post with a different link or just the full story. Anyway hope this is helpful to someone~
Toritsuka Reita:
For some reason, this temple has started
to put in effort lately as a spiritual hot spot tourist attractions~
Saiki Kusuo:
Spiritual hot spot is too much of a pickup line
Do you really go sightseeing?
Saiki Kusuo:
How weak...
Toritsuka Reita:
Saiki-san, want to check it out for a bit
since it seems interesting?
Saiki Kusuo:
Wearing this?
All of the lip service would lose its effect
Toritsuka Reita:
Since I want to report to my chief priest,
according to the story~
the theme is...
Saiki Kusuo:
You really aren't listening to what I'm saying
Toritsuka Reita:
Love realization and separation
Saiki Kusuo:
What a terrible gap
Yumehara Chiyo:
Oh, this is the rumored "love-granting pond" right~
How lovely~!!
Toritsuka Reita:
They say if you throw a hundred yen coin here and
it floats by good luck, your love will be realized
Saiki Kusuo:
That will definitely make the uncorrupted maidens to do it again and again
Also, it won't come back
Toritsuka Reita:
This is a charm that fulfills your love in a flashes
It looks like it's made with a red string motif
Yumehara Chiyo:
Wai-! What even, I'm definitely buying~!
(Then it can become mutual love with Kaidou-kun within seconds!)
Saiki Kusuo:
You can see it's definitely just yarn, but
you're going to buy it…
Toritsuka Reita:
Then, if you write the name of the person you want to break up with or leave from on this votive picture and make a prayer,
your relationship can end or something…
Saiki Kusuo:
Alright, I'll make a prayer right now
"Toritsuka"
Toritsuka Reita:
Saiki-saan
There's no ways~
...What, even Arisu is doing it
Makino Arisu:
Senpai...
I'm not feeling a little well…
Isn't this place...dangerous?
Makino Arisu:
The chills haven't stopped for a while now…
Toritsuka Reita:
Eh!? Arisu-chan, you okay!?
Don't push yourself. I'll take care of you if you'd like
Toritsuka Reita:
(Gufufu...
This is a plan to disguise as kindness, embrace her, and
have our bodies close!)
Toritsuka Reita:
If it's love being fulfilled, you could even lean on me…
Makino Arisu:
*mutter mutter*
*mutter mutter*
Toritsuka Reita:
A...Arisu-chan??
Makino Arisu:
*mutter mutter*
I...don't want to break up…
I...don't want to leave…
Saiki Kusuo:
Yare yare

Kaidou Shun:
Haa haa...
(I was able to run quite far, but…
That dead nurse is too fast)
Saiki Kusuo:
I feel that Kaidou is too slow, though
Yumehara Chiyo:
...Waitttt~
Kaidou Shun:
Eek!
*plonk*
Saiki Kusuo:
He was in so much of a hurry that he fell…
Yumehara Chiyo:
Kaidou-kun!
You okay?
Kaidou Shun:
Waaaaaah~~~ Spare me~~!
Yumehara Chiyo:
Calm down!
It's me, me
Kaidou Shun:
Huh? It's Yumehara and not
an undead nurse calling for death…?
Kaidou Shun:
(I'm glad I was able to meet up with a person I know!
I was scared, but I'm a little relieved)
Yumehara Chiyo:
Oh no! Your elbow's scraped
Kaidou Shun:
Eh? Ah, is that so?
When I fell earlier…
Yumehara Chiyo:
I'll treat it now
It'll hurt, but hang in there
Kaidou Shun:
You're able to treat it?
Yumehara Chiyo:
I have a first-aid kit
Since it's a nurse cosplay, I wanted to take it seriously
I'm glad I had one on hand just in case
Kaidou Shun:
Hngh...To think you were a real nurse
I'm sorry...I had the wrong idea
Kaidou Shun:
It seems like this hospital is filled with dark power
It's reassuring if there's someone who can use recovery magic
Let's purify this hospital's darkness together
Kaidou Shun:
(I'm scared to go around the hospital alone,
so it gives me a peace of mind if we go together…)
Saiki Kusuo:
You don't beat around the bush
if you change the way you say it
Kaidou Shun:
It looks like your compatibility with this place is good
If you use your healing powers
when I get hurt from now on, I'll be saved
Yumehara Chiyo:
Of course leave it to me!
(Kaidou-kun invited me to go through the test of courage
together...♡)
Saiki Kusuo:
Yumehara's melting a bit
because of herself
Yumehara Chiyo:
First,
how about we try going from the nurse station?
Yumehara Chiyo:
There's a rumor that in this nurse station,
there are those who pose as close friends
and drag the lost people into the other world…
Kaidou Shun:
A b-bloody…nurse?
Kaidou Shun:
Er, as I thought maybe I'll go home!
Yumehara Chiyo:
It'll be okay!
Since we're here, let's go meet up with everyone in the occult club!
(A date night with Kaidou-kun!)
Kaidou Shun:
No, this kind of darkness made my dark power…
temporarily leave...
Yumehara Chiyo:
After the nurse station is the autopsy room
and then the morgue…
(It'll be mutual love today because of the suspension bridge effect♡)
Kaidou Shun:
Er...Um...Today, my MP's already…
Eeeeeeeek!
