We’ve got businesses throughout this whole area and this is all we made?

Empty your pockets for me too.
おまえ内臓売られたいか？
Or would you rather have me sell off your organs?

―　～～～～～…
……

―　その前にこんなことフーサに知られたら全員消されるぜ
Putting that matter aside, if Fusa finds out about this, then we’re all dead meat.
大丈夫なのか　この街に手を出して―――…
Is it really safe for us to be operating in this town?


07
―　大丈夫も何も　渓谷の街道は全て買い上げて来た
We’ll be fine. I already bribed the highway officials.

―　何故この街には誰も手をつけない
I wonder why no one else has tried to move in on this town.

You’re not from around here, so you wouldn’t know.

Is this guy an idiot?!

Some Grim Reaper he is!


18
―　虹彩一致　歯形一致　血液一致
Eye color match. Dental match. Blood type match.
殺人　殺人教唆　人身売買　麻薬密売か
Wanted for murder, inciting murder, human trafficking, and smuggling opium.

―　豪気だな
That’s quite the laundry list.
第一級賞金首　認証
First-class bounty is confirmed.

―　ええと　首が五つに生け捕り二人か…
Uhh… So that makes five heads and two captured alive.


19
―　ほれ
Here you go.

―　今日の払いだ
This is your total amount.

―　ちょっ
H-Hey…
ちょっといいんですか？
Can I speak with you for a moment?

―　何が
What is it?

―　何がって…東部マフィアの元締めですよ　あの首…
Well… That criminal was the boss of the Eastern mafia.

―　あの額じゃ　報酬の三文の一にもならないじゃないですか！？
Won’t it be big trouble if that guy notices that you totally stiffed him on the reward money?!

―　いいから黙っとけ！
Keep it down, will you!
あいつは金の計算ができねえんだ
That guy can’t count money.

―　それに　見ろ
Besides, just take a look.

―　あいつ　いつも死体の首を引き取って帰るんだ
He always takes the corpses’ heads and lugs them back home with him.

―　賞金稼ぎなんかじゃねぇ
The guy’s not in it for the money.

―　あいつは殺しが趣味なのさ
He just enjoys killing.

―　…おい　ゾル
Hey, Zol…
おまえ　それ撃たれたのか？
Did you get shot?

―　ああ
Uh-huh.

―　―――ああって…
He doesn’t care!
死ぬぞ？
You might die, y’know!

―　ははっ　ヘマしたな
Haha! I guess he messed up this time!


22
―　ゾル!
Zol!

―　丁度いい所へ来た
Perfect timing!
あんたに頼みがあるのよ
I’d like you to do something for me.

―　ん？
Hm?


23
―　―――むごいねえ
How terrible!
車に撥ねられたんだって
They say he was hit by a car.

―　即死だな　こりゃ…
He must’ve died upon impact.

―　―――ほら　あんた死体は慣れてるだろ？
Handling corpses is right up your alley, right?
清掃局を呼ぶと調書取られたり面倒だからさ…
It’d be such a pain for me to deal with all the procedures if I call in a clean-up crew.

―　身寄りもなさそうな　流れ者みたいだし―――…
And it doesn’t seem like the guy has any relatives. Looks like he’s a drifter.
あんた弔ってやってくれない？
So can you take care of the burial for me?


24
―　―――わかった
…Very well.

―　ほらほら　見せ物じゃないよ！
Move along, people! Nothing to see here!


26
―　は
Hah

Excuse me…
