-"Emergency Refuge"
-The law that exempts perpetrating illegal acts.
-In this kind of situation the lawyer and sin are both exempted. / Heeh, this is interesting stuff too... I have to take notes!
-(right side text) Story so far, Kucabara, a demon who lost his powers is ekeing out a living in a corner of hell. In order to return his power he needs energy, to do so he has started work as a lawyer for condemnded souls.
-Bichula, seconds would be great!
-You know, ramen from the human world is really good. (TN- I agree)

Page 5

-Don't talk to me like we're married.
-You've got a lot of guts asking for seconds!
-More importantly than tha! This is the Dark Matter that we took from Tom!! / Thanks to Master using all that excess power...
-The amount of Dark Matter that we need to return to the Demon World...
-We've only collected one thousanth of what we need!
-But, it was a challenge.
-Wh~at was a challenge! At this rate, / Even if we keep trying for a hundred years we won't return to the demon world!
-That's why you obviously need to give up this lawyer business.
-So let's focus upon cleaning up all these demon corpses!
-If we can sell this cleaned up demon shop, then we can purchase two hundred grams of Dark Matter.
-Sorry Bichula... / I can't do that.

Page 6

-Why?
-I'm too tired.
-You jerk!
-Alright, please try and finish cleaning it completely by the end of today! / You want to eat more ramen don't you!
-The "Devil Scale" is out of equilibrium.
-It's announcing that an Unknown Soul,
-Has been dropped into the Event Horizon.
-Bichula!

Page 7

-I already told you! I don't want to have anything to do with this "Defence Devil" plan!
-I hate having to extert myself like that, and on top of that it's not cool at all seeing a demon saving a sinner!
-I'm feeling extremely embarrased because of you master!
-I guess you're right...I'm embarrasing. (TN- He's sooo cute)
-Someone like me who was banished from the demon world would be...
-(left hand side text) Characters, Kucabara, A demon exiled from hell. If he absorbs enough Dark Matter he can restore his form to it's original power. He likes observing the human world. Bichula, He was banished alongside Kucabara. A Dragon.
-N, no, that's not what I meant!
-I, I spoke without thinking...It's my bad, I'm sorry!
-If you're feeling guilty then come with me! / We need to mee the Unknown Soul before the Shinigami arrives.

Page 8

-Alright, alright, I understand, I'll go! / But this time please promise me!
-Our aim is only one thing! The Dark Matter!!
-Sympathy for the Unknown Soul is forbidden! There's no need to be nice to them!
-We can't waste even one more day trying to return.
-Our family is waiting!
-Family...
-Family huh...

Page 9

-What is...going on?
-Why am I?

Page 10

-This place is Event Horizon.
-It is a thin boundary region that exists between the real world and hell.
-For people like you who have committed a sin before they died...
-Their souls are depositied in this place.
-W...who are you...?

Page 11

-My name is... / Kucabara.
-I am a lawyer from hell, who protects the balance of this place, Event Horizon.
-Um...
-I don't entirely get what you are saying...
-A soul with bad intuition huh...this will take a little time. / Nami Hasse. Yesterday, while returning to your home...
-When you were waiting at the train station...
-You fell onto the track and perished.

Page 12

-The cause of death was...
-Suicide!
-Suicide!? Why...why, why do you say suicide? / That was an accident!
-I went close to the child to help him...
-But I accidentally slipped and fell!
-That's strange then, my records definitely have it marked as "suicide". / It comes from materials distributed to the Shinigami, so it must be correct but...
-Well, it's best if you confirm it with your own eyes.

Page 13

-Suicide, is an action that you do in order to bring sorrow to those surrounding you...
-It is a terrible sin that earns the greatest of God's wrath!
-A...ah...
-Kyaaaaa!!!
-Nooo!
-Kyaa!!
-I... / hit a person...

Page 14

-Uuuh, Nami... / Why did you...?
-Excuse me.
-I've come as a representative of the XX Railway.
-It truly was regrettable but, when your daughter passed away...
-It caused enormous damage for you, now regarding the compensation for the damages...
-Yesterday, as a result of the incident that befall a high school girl...
-Services have been suspended and the line has still not been...
-Why did she cause all this trouble by committing suicide at the station.
-Did you see the news? That was horrible.
-I heard she tried to involve some little kid who was standing nearby.
-Seriously? What kind of trash were they...
-It's probably for the best that she died.

Page 15

-No, that's...not the truth...
-This kind of...I...it's shameful.
-Even if you say it's shameful, the Dark Matter rising from your body is just too thick.
-The amount of Dark Matter is proportional to the amount of sin that you cursed yourself with in the real world. / It's enough energy to mark you as a sinner... A Shinigami searching for the Dark Matter will soon appear, to take you to hell.
-H...hell?
-There is one thing I want to ask. / The day you died there had been a snowstorm, it was a very cold day...

Page 16

-So why are you, So lightly dressed?
-Eh, th...that's because...
-...I can't remember.
-It's due to the shock of dying that you can't remember. / You should remember in time.
-Although, there will certainly be a lot of things that will make you feel uncomfortable.
-Nami.
-Will you contract with me?
-I am a lawyer. / If you contract with me,
-I will investigate as to whether there is no justifable reason for your sin, the result of that is... / By bringing you your innocence, I can stop you being unfairly taken away by the Shinigami, and on top of that even return you to life!

Page 17

-And the price is...
-That Dark something or other?
-If I thought your intuition was dull then I was wrong. / Correct!
-But, there's no need to worry, even if you lose that then you'll still be fine, it's preferable infact...
-Um?
-You're face seems to be practically burning...
-Ah, no, you're wrong! This face is! It's just I have an abundance of facial expressions, really...
-My normal face is much more serious...The Dark Matter has never...
-Bichula! What are you doing!
-Now is the time that I told you to come in cosplaying a Shinigami!
-Roger, I'm coming now!
-This is hot so I don't want to.
-Who were you talking to? Cosplay?
-You heard that!?
-You're voice was loud.
-No, no, it was to myself, to myself. I said I wanted to try and cosplay at least one.

Page 18

-More importantly, a shinigami...
-Is just about to appear over there, don't worry about it.
-Hooh.
-Isn't this quite a sight.
-Uh?

Page 19

-What's this? I thought I had read him correctly,
-Even though I felt he was an impressive guy.
-He's just a fly.

Page 20

-Who are...
-I am Ponsol.
-A Shinigami who specialises in claiming souls who have committed suicide like yourself.
-As expected from a great sinner, you're covered in wonderfully thick Dark Matter.
-Master!
-Master, hold on!
-Kuku...You can repent for eternity in my hell.
-Kyaa!
-B...big problem Bichula... / If my memory is correct, that Shinigami Ponsol...
-He is able to attack using devil plants...
-A Magician!

Page 21

-Kyaaa!!
-Kyaaa!!
-If you think about it...
-Why should I go through the trouble of taking you back to hell, / when I can just as easily extract the Dark Matter here.
-Die!

Page 22

-Do you know what the good part of a soul is?
-No matter how cruelly you kill it,
-It quickly returns to it's original form.
-Of course it is easy to stop their breathing as well but, who would want to stop having such a fun time playing around?
-How is it, you're tingling right? / Want to go another round?

Page 23

-Stop it.
-Little fly...
-You were still alive.
-I'm not a little fly.
-I'm a lawyer, who protects the balance of this world.
-I still haven't called her a Sinner.
-She's an Unknown soul, with no investigation.
-And if I stop,
-What do you plan to do?

Page 24

-Wait for her to escape!
-Good job Bichula!

Page 25

-Uwaaa!!
-Damn! Master!
-Leave it to me!
-Caught you...

Page 26

-Guaaargh!!
-Kukuku...a lawyer who protects the balance of this world? / you're making a serious mistake by talking like that...
-Look, weakling!

Page 27

-This is,
-decisive proof of this girl's sin.
-What is that thing?
-No idea...
-This is a mark that was left by the removal of a ring that had been worn for a very long time. / When human men and women and women are going out with one another, they wear matching rings as proof.
-Do you understand what I'm saying? / The reason for this girl's suicide...it is heartbreak!

Page 28

-Two days before this girl plotted to commit suicide...
-She faced her longtime boyfriend.
-She had spent a lot of time with him but,
-How many more times will you annoy me. Get lost! / I can't stand your endless bullshit!
-She was subjected to an angry rant, then dumped.
-And at the end of her despair when she was standing in the station...the train came and,
-Plop.
-It's an often occuring pattern.
-Y...you're wrong.
-That was in order to help save the child...

Page 29

-Kyaaaa!!!
-You lowly sinner,
-I don't want to hear your bullshit!
-Due to the kid you appeared to begin to fall, / You could have immediately reclaimed your balance, and if you did so you wouldn't have fallen.
-But, you didn't do that.
-Why?
-Because you had no will to live!

Page 30

-Let go, Bichula!
-The promise, did you forget it?
-Our aim is only the Dark Matter!
-No matter how you look at it that woman committed suicide! Trying to save a sinner like this...
-Bichula!
-I told you to let go!

Page 31

-Noooo!!
-Hey, over here!

Page 32

-Take that!
-The mark of a ring is proof of her suicide?
-Don't make me laugh, that's no proof of suicide.
-Nami is innocent!
-That is what I have determined!
