SUMMARY - Having defeated Inui, Ageha and the children rescue Kagetora safely. Afterwards, they learn of Amagi Miroku, the supposed head of the WISE's operations. Just as they are about to dig further, Inui dies as a tree of light bursts forth from his mouth! The culprit? A man posing as his brother, Saburou. Could his true identity be...?!?

-What the...!?!
white: Shao's keeping watch, when suddenly..!?

-From INSIDE...?!

-What...is this tremendous PSI reading?!
-...Inside the home...is a monster...!!!

03
-But I suppose this is a good place to call this act quits
-I've just about had it with that bastard's abusive temper

-Who...are you!?

-My name is Amagi Miroku
(t/n - 天戯弥勒. What's in a name? well, his is interesting. the first part "ama" means heavens, "gi" is to make sport/play pranks, and miroku you might have heard from inuyasha...it's a bodhisttava, meaning "a person whose aim is to become fully enlightened"--a buddhist thing. yet his moves are based on Judaic mysticism (kabbalah)? most manga is a bizzare mix of traditional japanese folklore, buddhist/shinto/taoist religions, and the occasional completely out-of-place christian/jewish references too. /rant)

04
-...why am I tryin' to run!? He's supposed to be just an ordinary emo punk!
-I ain't afraid!! There's nothin' to be afraid of!

-Take one step and you're dead

05
-I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!!

06
-生命の樹”峻厳” = SEPHIROT - GEVURAH
(kanji is ["tree of life" - severity], although i would place "judgment" here because that's a better english fit)

07
-Everything lies within the palm of my hands

08
-KYLE--!!

-Ageha--!! The person who brainwashed Inui is without a doubt "pure evil!!"
bubble in inui's flashback - what a lovely evening
-Inui's memories were devoured, leaving him as nothing but this Amagi Miroku's puppet...he didn't have a single clue about the purpose or goal of his actions!!

-Inui was nothing but his pawn
-Quite possibly, he was intending to kill him from the start
-Amagi Miroku is controlling everything from the shadows...to him, all of this is a mere game!!

09
-K-KYLE!!!
-STAY THERE! I'll handle this, granny!

10
-spin,
-spin...
-all around the center of the universe
(t/n - this isn't intended to be a complete thought, unless i'm missing some context clue?)

11
-...so you're Amagi Miroku, I take it?
-What the hell did you do to Kyle!?

-Don't get upset...human lives are like the countless billions of stars that line the heavens
-No one will notice if one disappears

---BASTARD!!

12
-You're...the WISE's leader, right?

-...Inui, the fool...he'd never keep his mouth shut. Yes, that's right, it's my organization

-So what if it is?
-Are you going to tell me you know what we're planning to do?

13
-Since you're a Psychicer, then watch with your own eyes
-and see as I create a brand new world...

-...provided you survive, that is

-If you have time enough to attack me, why not help the child?

-KYLE!!

14
-KYLE!! AGEHA!!
-...what da...!?

-oh no---!!

15 why you should never plant trees indoors

16
-What's happening?!
-E-everyone...!!

17
-haa x2

-...sigh. After I finally managed to gather enough money...you guys had to come ruin everything

-haa x2

18 HOMUNCULUS! /not...although check out his tattoos...? (you get a cookie if you know what i'm talking about)
-What's the matter? You're looking pale

19
-Gmgh...bleha...
-ngmnn...

-You guys can have the money. I can always get more, so it doesn't matter

-Amagi Miroku shall become the center of the universe
white: What fearsome power...!!!
