Lag: Niche... This isn't a wound so it won't heal
Lag: Even if you lick—
Lag: Hahahaha~!

Aria: Doctor Thunderland...
Dr: It's just a cold.

Dr: You probably caught it because your Heart and your body are in a state of exhaustion.
Dr: Seeing!
Lag: Sir?!

-13-
Dr: You're still overdoing it on the Heart Bullets, I see.
Dr: I thought I told you to pace yourself!
Lag: *gulp*

Garrard: That you have taken care of a few of the Cold Letters?

Garrard: Well then
Garrard: How long are you planning on resting those wings of yours?
Garrard: Get back to work, Bees!!

-16-
Dr: What do you think you're doing, Seeing!
Dr: If you don't rest up a little...
Lag: I'm alright.

Lag: 100 cases in just 7 days?!...
Lag: We'll have to seriously increase our delivery rate!
Lag: I don't need to rest or anything like that...!!

Aria: No.

Dr: You look sexy.
Lag: Yes, ma'am, you do.
Aria: Uh huh... Thanks so much...
Aria: Right, I'll be off then.

-21-
Dr: I'm worried about her...
Dr: Going out like that, the deputy director has one major weakness.
Lag: Huh..?! She looks absolutely fine to me...

Dr: You probably don't know about her time on duty, Seeing.
Dr: The thing about her is...
Aria: Eh?...

Aria: Kyaahhhhh~~!!

Dr: She has almost no coordination whatsoever.
Lag: Almost none?!
Dr: So little that I'd like to do an autopsy.
Lag: That much?!

-22-
Dr: She hasn't been on duty for a while
Dr: And there's also her Dingo...

Lag: Her Dingo...
Lag: Oh!...

Lag: Say, Niche...
Lag: Do you think...
Lag: You could go along with Aria-san and protect her?...

Lag: Aria-san doesn't have a Dingo with her, you see.
Niche: I don't wanna!!!

Niche: I'm Lag's Dingo!
Niche: I only Dingo as Lag's Dingo!!
Lag: Niche...

Lag: Aria-san is going out on delivery in my place!
Lag: You should go after Aria-san who's doing my deliveries, as Dingo my Niche...
Lag: And protect her... as Aria's Niche, Dingo...
Lag: As Diche the Ningo!!!

-23-
Aria: ......
Aria: So... what about you two?
Aria: How is Lag...?

Niche: Pitiful creature...
Aria: Pitiful creature?!
Niche: So pitiful you don't even know my name, that's how pitiful...

Dr: He's burning up!
Aria: I see...

Aria: You can go on back to Lag, Niche.
Aria: I don't need a Dingo.

-24-
Niche: I'M NOT
Niche: ARIA'S DINGO!!!

Niche: NICHE IS GOING ON LAG'S DELIVERIES AS LAG'S DINGO TO BE ARIA'S LAG'S NINGO DICHE...
Aria: Okay okay okay!! It's fine, it's fine, just come on then!!

Aria: I suppose Lag'll be able to rest easier if you're not there too...

Aria: I can't relax with you hopping all over the place, you know.
Aria: Let's walk together.

-25-
Niche: Hmph!!
Aria: Ah!
Aria: Niche...

Aria: Honestly...

-26-
Dr: How are you feeling, Seeing?
Lag: I'm feeling okay
Lag: Doctor.

Lag: It's just a little strange
Lag: Sleeping next to Gauche.

Dr: That's fine then.
Dr: Has the Heart Measure broken down?...
Dr: This thing's supposed to measure the amount of Heart remaining in a person...
Dr: But your Heart always throws the metre right off...

Lag: Um...
Lag: Doctor...

Lag: Is it true
Lag: That you were there on the Day of the Flicker
Lag: In the government's investigation airship...?

-27-
Dr: Why are you asking about that...?

Lag: Oh... Nothing really...
Lag: I just heard a rumour, that's all...
Lag: Today, the place Aria-san has gone for the delivery

Lag: Is Astal
Lag: The town where the airship crashed.

Dr: ......
Dr: Astal...

-28-
Box: 12 years ago
Box: The event known as "The Day of the Flicker" occurred.

Box: The day the man-made sun flickered
Box: And the world was wrapped in darkness...
Box: The government airship, which had set out on an investigation, crashed.

-29-
Box: What happened in the man-made sun?
Box: Even now, the details are unclear.

Aria: I'll never forget...
Aria: That sight...

-30-
Man: Hodai-san moved away
Man: Quite a while back.
Aria: Do you happen to know where to?

Man: He left in such a hurry, as if he was running away from something...
Man: He had joined the airship crew, and then it went and crashed in his own hometown.
Man: With everything that happened, it's no surprise he wanted to leave.

Aria: The airship crew...?!
Aria: Hodai Franklin...

Man: Oh, I just remembered!
Man: I'm pretty sure that he said he had some distant relative
Man: In the town of Goodbye Amsterdam.

Aria: Thank you very much!

-31-
Aria: Our destination has changed, Niche!
Aria: We're now heading for the town of Goodbye Amsterdam!
Box: Starting Point: Astal
Box: Black Cherry Pool
Box: Destination: Goodbye Amsterdam
Aria: There's a risk of encountering Gaichuu
Aria: But this is a shortcut! Let's take the swamp road, Black Cherry Pool.

Aria: I just hope he's in that town...

Niche: Lag could find out the address with Akabari!
Aria: You're right~~!
Aria: We're missing exactly the person we need.
Niche: Lag could do it in one shot!

Aria: It can't be helped...
Aria: You like Lag, after all...

Aria: Does that make Sylvette your rival?...
Aria: That must be tough.

-32-
Niche: I know that Sylvette is a dangerous woman...
Niche: She's about a hundred times stronger than Lag...
Niche: And her super gross soup is super super gross......

Sylvette: Achoo!

Aria: Well, let's get going, Niche.
Aria: The swamp road is very narrow to walk on, so if you're not careful, you'll fall in!

Niche: Swamp?

Aria: ......
Aria: If...

-33-
Aria: I-If
Aria: If you're not careful
Aria: You'll fall in!!!

-34-
Aria: There's so much water!
Aria: It much easier to walk back then...
Aria: Ah--!
Aria: Nooo!

Aria: Eh?...

Aria: KYAHHH
Aria: Huh?
Aria: Oh nooo..

Aria: NICHE!! BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE WALKING!!
Text: Nuni...
Niche: YOU BE CAREFUL!

Niche: I'll hold that bulky thing for you!
Niche: I'll show you my kindness
Niche: Hand it over!

Aria: I'm absolutely fine!
Aria: Just concentrate on looking after yourself!

-35-
Niche: I PROMISED LAG I'D LOOK AFTER YOU AS LAG'S DINGO NICHE!
Niche: HOW CAN I JUST NOT PROTECT YOU?
Niche: IDIOT!!

Aria: Who are you calling an idiot?!
Aria: I don't want to be protected by any Dingo other than my own!!
Aria: I didn't ask you to look after me!!!

Niche: You have a Dingo?
Aria: Ah...

Bolt: ......
Bolt: Rarr...
Bolt: Rruff...

-36-
Bolt: Rarruff...

Niche: ?!

Measure: tick...
Measure: tick
Measure: ...tick...

Dr: Apparently, I only boarded that investigation airship
Dr: In place of my father, who had suddenly fallen ill.
Lag: "Apparently"...?

Dr: I only heard about it in a hospital bed...

-37-
Dr: I...
Dr: Have no memories of that day.

Dr: It seems they were taken from me
Dr: Along with my eye.

Dr: It wasn't just me.
Dr: I found out that all the members of that investigation who had gazed at the sun
Dr: Had a part of their Heart or their bodies taken from them.

Lag: Th... That's...!
Lag: The same with Gauche...!!

-38-
Lag: Gauche was watching the "flicker" from a hill as well!
Lag: He lost the memory of his own mother...!!

Lag: Does that mean that light...
Lag: The man-made sun... took away his Heart...?!
Lag: Doctor...! Just what is the man-made sun—

Dr: Seeing?!

Dr: Damn
Dr: His fever's too high!
Lag: Doctor...
Dr: That's enough for now. We'll talk later.

-39-
Dr: The Heart Measure's gone off the scale...?!
Dr: What's going on...?

Lag: Mo..
