AR∀GO 23

NOTE: lol, seems I forgot to make this translation public after our group had released the chapter. Sorry about that and thanks to Edek for pointing it out.



Page 1:
When mom and dad died,
And you thought it was an accident.
We would never meet again, that’s what I swore…
Flashback: Arago…..
Ewan!!
We would never meet again, that’s what I thought...
Flashback: Hey, it’s been a while…
Ewan…
This is…
Something I thought up on my own
Arago: ……Are we really meeting again….like this….
Side Text: The form that has shown itself before Arago……
Arago
- City of London Police's Special Crimes Investigator-
Bottom Text: The highly popular ultra-sensational, police action!!

Chapter 23: It’s Really Him
Arago: The reality, staring me in the face.

Volume 2 will be on sale June 18th!!

Page 3:
A black…
Brionac.
Patchman: If I die, then Ewan dies as well…
Are you sure you’re alright with that Hunt?
Arago: Wh, what the hell are you saying…that can’t be!!
That’s….
Gahh….
Seth: Mr. Detective!!
Ghari: Master!
Patchman: Ewan is alive because of “my” Brionac.

Page 4:
Like the connection a mother has with her unborn child.
Brionac is acting like an umbilical cord.
Supplying him with his life force…
You could say, that we share the same fate.
Arago: Stoppppp!!!
Ewan: *Pant*
*Pant*
*Pant*
Arago: How…how do you have Brionac…
Isn’t there only one?
Originally the source of this power was but one single seed, but I divided it into two.
Something only I’m capable of. (small text: hahaha)
I gave one to you and saved one for myself,
I had planned on restoring it into one as soon as I took your body…(small text: fufufu)

Page 5:
But then you miraculously turned it back on me!!
That caused me to lose over 70% of my flesh…(small text: hahahaa)
The light was excruciating…I writhed in both pleasure and pain…
I had no choice but to rely on discarded trash...
Ewan’s Rebirth-
The operation was difficult with the incomplete Brionac,
However I was pleased to find that the elder brother also held a resistance to Brionac.
But even though he appeared this way, would this be enough to lure Hunt to me? I may have restored life to the corpse,
But its mind had sunk into a sea of darkness…
A battle for Brionac, it sounds like a fun game, doesn’t it?
Ewan and the four horsemen, all are essential cards for me to win against you.
I’m overjoyed.
These discarded parts will make up for you,
Now you’re nothing but the spare Joker…

Page 6:
Gahhhhh!!
Seth: Calm down Mr. Detective!!!
Arago: Hah
Hah
Seth: What is it that you want? Going so far as splitting Brionac…
All because you want Mr. Detective’s body.
Patchman: I need to the perfect key in order to open the cauldron’s lid.
That’s why.
But it seems as though…
Orc’s contractor has a different goal from my own…
SFX: *Siren*
*Siren*
Patchman: What timing…it seems we’ve lost our opportunity.
All thanks to you Seth. (small text: Fufufu)
Arago: Wait Patchman!!
Are you just going to run away!!!!

Page 7:
Give Ewan back! Ewaaaaaan!!!
Seth: Stop Mr. Detective, we need to get out of here!!
Think this through before you chase after them, he’s most likely just a fake!!
Arago: He’s not a fake!!
Back then, he told me to run away!!
He’s always…worried about me like that,
Flashback text: Run.
Why do you always do this Arago,
You never listen to what I tell you.
Stop, Arago!!
Patchman: Love…hatred…that is what drives you Hunt!!
If you continue like this, we will surely meet again…surely…
Arago: How can I “run away” if it’s really him!!!!

Page 8:
Ewaaaaaaaaan!!!!

Page 9:
SFX: *Pitter*
*Patter*
Ghari: Master, how long are you going to act like this…
Seth: This is….a cemetery, I’m pretty sure the police won’t chase us here…
So let him do what he wants here.
Arago: Sorry…Ewan.
I’m still angry.
And I can’t think straight…
I can’t think of any other ways to do this…

Page 10:
Ghari: Wh, what are you doing master…
Arago: I have to know, I have to know for myself!!
Which is it that I want!!?
I don’t know whether or not,
I want Ewan’s body to be here or not.

Page 11:
But…..
Ghari: Please stop master,
Doing something like that will get you cursed!!
Arago: But…..
But….!
I have to be sure!!

Page 12:
Ha….
It’s empty… (Small Text: Haha)
It’s just like I thought, I was right…
Haha…
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha

Page 13:
Ghari: Master…
He’s acting strange……
Seth: “Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps.”*
Note: From William Blake’s “Marriage of Heaven and Hell”
“Happiness” or “Sorrow”….
Which one are you feeling right now?
Mr. Detective.
Arago: I’ve been….a damn idiot.
I never once noticed.
All those times I was talking to an empty grave,
Ewan was never here…
If I kill Patchman, then Ewan dies too…..
But…..

Page 14:
If you can die,
Then doesn’t that mean you’re really alive!?
If you’re alive then there’s hope…
There has to be a way to save you.

Page 15:
Sorry Ewan…
You told me to run away but, this is one fight I can’t run from.
I’m…
Going to do the opposite of what you told me.
I’ll play this game Patchman,
But you’ll be the one who loses,
I will win!!
Ghari: Just what I expected from you master, a positive fool to the end!!
Arago: Alright!!

Page 16:
Old man, let me join Special Crimes*(TN: Abbreviation of Special Crimes Investigation Unit)
Joe: Huh?
Woah…
Arago: !!
What brought this on all of the sudden?
Didn’t you say that Patchman doesn’t exist?
Arago: Some things happened…and I think I’ve made a breakthrough.
Joe: Hmm, some things huh?
Well if you say so,
Just try not to hold me back, alright?
!?
Arago: Got ya.
Thinking of your comrades by your side, right?
Joe: What a cheeky thing to say.
Arago: I’ve been that way since I was born.
Joe: That’s another cheeky thing to say as well.
SFX: Haha

Page 17:
Joe: That reminds me, were you alright yesterday?
You drove down a highway where there was an accident, apparently some truck overturned…
Arago: Oh, I didn’t notice…
My ear itches…
Joe: …Well that’s good.
Things are going to get harder from now on, I have to keep a level head.
But I still feel uneasy about how Seth disappeared back then…
Ewan, wait for me. I’ll definitely come and save you!
Larry: Ah!!
Good timing!! Joe, that student who went missing,
From the ritual murder cases you were in charge of…
Seth Stringer just turned himself in!

Page 18:
Arago: What is Seth doing here…
SFX: Hmm
Seth: If you lose the will to fight Patchman, I’ll kill you myself…
Arago: Eh?
Let’s work together from now on,
Mr. Detective.
Side Text: Is Arago getting closer to Seth’s intentions? Find out in the next chapter!!
