(*t/l note: the author decided not to put on English dialogue for some reason in some of these bubbles, so I'm going to take the liberty of filling them in.)

A: Wait!
A: She's mine.
B: Say what?!
N: Now, now...

M: Would you mind not escorting our workers out from the premises....?
M(2b): She does belong to our establishment, after all...heheheh....
M: We have a room prepared for you on the second floor.
M: Enjoy yourselves...

156)
?: I knew it...
M(2b): Th-the actress...Na-Na-Natsukawa Mariko?!
M: I-I'm gonna make this the front page of the Friday!
?: There's no need for that.
M: Ehhhh?!
A: What slime...
A: Guess I have no choice...

157)
A: Kamizono Youko-san...right?
Y: Eh?!
Y: How do you know my name..?
A: They're watching us, so no matter what I say, just act naturally, okay?
A: I've come to save you.
Y: Why...
Y: Who are you?

158)
A: I'm an acquaintance of Rudou-kun.
Y: Rudou-kun...?!

?: You're relieved from your duties.
?: Happy?
?: You're going to become my mistress...

166)
A(2b): Haa haa
A: Haa...

A: Mu...

167)

sfx: batan!

168)
R: So the huntress has become the hunted, huh...?
R: How pathetic, Alma...
R: It's because you underestimated them...
R: Why didn't you use that hypnosis you're so good at or anything?
A: Nothing like that will work in the darkness...
R(2b): These days, it's Japanese women who buy the American soldiers...I'm amazed that a place like this still exists...
(*t/l note: the author has just made a genius commentary on Japanese society with this tiny little line -- these days in Japan, hostess clubs run by women charge men an arm and a leg for companionship, instead of old-school prostitute rings run by men. Of course, prostitution still exists, but not in the rampant form it used to)
A: It's just the law of supply and demand.
R: You're acting so carefree, Alma...those bastards intend to turn you into an addict!
A: Fufufu...

169)
A: Unfortunately, stimulants have no effect on my body.
R: Then why...
R: What do you plan to do now?!
R: If only...if only I had my physical body, I'd be able to do something...
A(2b): You don't need to do anything. More importantly, you should go back soon...
A(2b): If you don't...there's a chance you could become the prisoner of an impure spirit wandering the Lesser Astral Dimension...
R: Stop making fun of me...
A: Two more days...
A: That's more than enough time...
A: to eradicate all this vermin.
