Page 4:
Panel 1:
Teacher: This is sudden, but...
Teacher: Rio Butler-san will from today, because of her father's work circumstances...

Panel 2:
Teacher: Be moving to live in Japan.

Panel 3:
Ewan: Japan, huh. That's really far away...
Rio: It's where my mom is originally from.
Rio: Dad and I have never been there before though...

Panel 4:
Arago: What the heck, why didn't you tell us earlier!!
Arago: Japan or anywhere else, you never said anything about having to move!!
Ewan: Stop it, Arago.

Panel 5:
Rio: Uh...

Page 5:
Panel 1:
Arago: Crying again? You're such a crybaby, Rio.
Arago: If you keep that up, they'll pick on you over in Japan too.
Ewan: Arago!

Panel 2:
Rio: I... I don't want to move to Japan...
Rio: I don't want to have to say goodbye to Ewan and the others here...

Panel 3:
Ewan: We'll meet again though.
Ewan: Because I know this won't be the last time we see each other.

Panel 4:
Ewan: So we'll meet again, definitely.
Rio: ...you're sure?

Panel 5:
Ewan: Yeah,
Ewan: Absolutely.

Panel 6:
Ewan: I promise you, Rio.

Page 6:
Right Side: (The story so far... I don't feel like translating it.)

Panel 1:
Arago: So it's been 15 years now, "Crybaby Rio".
Arago: Why were you there, at his grave?
Arago: When did you come back to London?

Panel 3:
Rio: I could say the same to you... why were you there...?

Panel 4:
Arago: Why shouldn't I be there?
Arago: I was visiting my brother's grave...

Panel 5:
Arago: ...
Rio: ...

Panel 6:
Arago: ...
Arago: I came to tell him, ...to tell Ewan.

Panel 7:
Arago: To say, "I became a detective just like you."
Rio: !!!

Page 7:
Panel 1:
Rio: Is that so... a detective?
Arago: Yeah.

Panel 2:
Arago: From today on...

Panel 4:
Arago: Wait, Rio!
Arago: Rio!!

Panel 5:
Rio: You can't become Ewan!!

Panel 6:
Rio: You became a cop just like Ewan you said,
Rio: Is matching up to him all you care about!?
Arago: H, hey, I just...
Rio: There's no reason that you have to do just what he did, is there!?

Panel 7:
Rio: Why?
Rio: Why did Ewan...

Page 8:
Rio: Why wasn't it you,
Rio: Why didn't you die instead of Ewan!?

Page 9:
Panel 1:
Arago: It's as Rio says...
Arago: If I had died no one would have mourned or missed me...

Panel 2:
Arago: Because I know that, I really don't need anyone to say it to my face...
Arago: The real reason for Ewan's death is...

Panel 3:
Arago: Only to you...

Page 10&11:
Panel 3:
Arago: A- A bus? You've gotta be kidding me!
Arago: Rio!!

Panel 6:
Arago: A shadow? What the heck was that...?

Page 12:
Panel 2:
1: I'm heading out to gather information.
Joe: Ah, hold on a minute.

Panel 3:
Joe: Today, there's a new replacement officer entering the CID.
Joe: I'd like to introduce you to him, so...

Panel 4:
1: Ah, but it's already afternoon, and it doesn't look like he's coming in, does it?

Panel 5:
1: Joe-san,
1: Are we really letting someone like that into the CID?

Panel 6:
1: Apparently he's very different from his brother who died in
the line of duty, and I hear nothing but bad rumors about him.
2 (small bubble): heh heh

Panel 7:
1: I'm against it! He's nothing more than a hoodlum...!!
2: Joe-san.

Panel 8:
2: It appears one of our detectives has been involved in Kensington Way's bus accident.

Panel 9:
Joe: Bus?

Page 13:
Panel 2:
Arago: That's right...
Arago: I was walking down the street, and the bus came through the park...

Panel 3:
Arago: This is bad... Today was supposed to be my first day, and I'm really late...
Joe: What a terrible disaster, eh.

Panel 5:
Arago: Old ma-, Er, I mean,
Arago: Assistant Inspector Joe Sullivan!!!
Joe: Just Joe is fine.

Panel 6:
Arago: I am so sorry! I'm really late today, but it's because...
Joe: You almost became some more work for us, eh.
Joe: Everyone was worried, you know?

Page 14:
Panel 1:
Joe: Since the day before yesterday, similar bus accidents have been happening, and this makes the third day in a row.
Arago: Three days in a row?

Panel 2:
Joe: There are always only two victims in each crash, the driver and one passenger...
Joe: Today there are also only two casualties...

Panel 3:
Joe: Coincidence? Or a requirement...?

Panel 4:
Joe: Which do you think? Eh, Arago?

Panel 5:
Joe: Well... I would think that the likelihood of these traffic accidents being caused by a terrorist group is fairly low.
Joe: There also haven't been any explosives found, or any letters claiming responsibility...

Panel 6:
Joe: Hm?

Panel 7:
Joe: And that beautiful young lady over there is?

Page 15:
Panel 1:
Arago: Ah, just a childhood friend of mine...
Arago: I ran into her unexpectedly, and then the accident...
Joe: Oh, you're quite a smooth operator, aren't you?
Arago: That's not it!!

Panel 3:
Joe: By any chance, a dangerous mood?
Arago: No, that's...

Panel 4:
Joe: England's 61st and 63rd Prime Minister Winston Churchill said,
Joe: "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."
(T/N: Winston Churchill was indeed both the 61st and 63rd Prime Minister - he served twice, non-consecutively.)

Panel 5:
Joe: The past and the future are connected.
Joe: You should become good friends just like in the past.
Arago: What the heck are you saying!!
Arago: Please don't just decide things like that by yourself!

Panel 6:
Joe: I know, why don't you offer to walk the young lady home.
Arago: Eh!? Why should I!?

Panel 7:
Joe: If you reminisce while you do, yeah, that would be great!
Joe: How about we say it's your punishment for being late.
Joe: Oh, a beautiful woman, spotted!
Arago: Just a-- Joe-san!!

Page 16:
Panel 1:
Rio: ...why did they have to pick you to send with me...?
Arago: So troublesome...
Arago: I'm not too happy about it either, you know.

Panel 2:
Joe: Women are gentle,
Joe: So always act like a gentleman.
Arago: So what am I supposed to do...? (Small: A gentleman?)

Panel 3:
Arago: Want some?

Panel 4:
Rio: No thank you!

Panel 5:
Arago: You don't have to hold back, I've got lots of 'em.

Page 17:
Panel 1:
Rio: You're still eating stuff like that...
Rio: Just like when you were a kid.

Panel 2:
Arago: I like 'em, so what's wrong with it?
Arago: No one ever said anything, and my dream from when I was a kid was...

Panel 3:
Arago: Come on, owner!
Store Owner: You know, when I was young my neighborhood's candy shop owner let me eat as many chocolate bars as I wanted,
Store Owner: And I'm pretty sure that's why I've ended up so fat.

Panel 4:
Rio: From his early days, Ewan always said he wanted to be able to work to serve people...
Rio: You were very different...
Arago: You know, he and I, back in the old days even our grades were very different.

Panel 5:
Rio: I was...
Rio: Heh heh, we match!
Ewan: Some strange rings, aren't they!

Panel 6:
1: I wanted to marry Ewan...

Page 18:
Panel 1:
Rio; Can we stop now?
Rio: Talking about the past...

Panel 2:
Arago: You really,
Arago: Even now, about Ewan...

Panel 3:
Rio: Don't you dare say anything!!!

Panel 4:
Rio: You haven't changed at all!!
Rio: You're completely insensitive!!
Rio: Can't you ever think about other people's feelings even a little!!?

Panel 5:
Arago: ...Always like this...

Panel 6:
Rio: Even after 15 years, you're still just the same...
Rio: And so are the streets of London...

Panel 7:
Rio: Nothing... Has changed...

Page 19:
Panel 1:
Arago: I'm not the same...

Panel 2:
Arago: There's nothing about me that's the same as 15 years ago...
Arago: The good... and the bad...

Panel 3:
Arago: Even you Rio
Arago: Right?

Panel 4:
Rio: ...

Page 20:
Panel 1:
Rio: You don't have to go with me any farther,
Rio: Being with you... Somehow I...

Panel 2:
Kid: Uwah! It's here!!

Panel 3:
Kid: The Ghost Bus came!!!

Panel 5:
Arago: Sorry, but wait here for me!
Rio: Eh!? Arago!!?

Panel 6:
Arago: Wait for me, I'll come back and walk you home!!
Arago: If you don't, I'll get mad!!

Panel 7:
Arago: So wait right there!!

Panel 8:
Rio: Ah, geez!!

Page 21:
Panel 2:
Boy: Cool!!
Girl: The story about the Ghost Bus is true!!

Panel 2:
Arago: Hey, kid.

Panel 3:
Arago: I'm with the Metropolitan Police Service,
Arago: And I'm kind of familiar with these kinds of things.

Panel 4:
Girl: A Detective!?
Boy: Is it real? That badge.
Arago: I'm investigating the bus accident.

Panel 5:
Arago: Just now, you said something about a Ghost Bus?

Panel 6:
Girl: You don't know!? It's--
Boy: Hey!

Panel 22:
Panel 1:
Boy: In a situation like this...
Boy: right!?
Girl: Oh, I see!!

Panel 2:
Boy: Ah--... My throat is so dry...
Arago: Hah?

Panel 3:
Boy: Somehow, I could really use a drink...

Panel 4:
Arago: Aah...

Panel 6:
Boy: Ah... that really hits the spot.
Arago: Damn brat...

Panel 7:
Boy: I heard about it from my older brother's friend.
1: The day before yesterday, he was waiting at a bus stop.

Page 23:
Panel 1:
1: But when it came, the bus was completely full, with no room left.

Panel 2:
1: He'd just accepted that fact, but then the bus driver said something to him.

Panel 3:
1: "We have room for one more."

Panel 4:
1: He was going to get on board,

Panel 5:
1: "Hold on there---"
2: Another person shoved him out of the way and took his spot.

Panel 6:
1: Just then, the bus's door closed---

Panel 7:
1: And at that time, he saw the bus driver's face for the first time.

Page 24:
1: The bus driver's ghastly pale face...

Panel 2:
Boy: The bus took off right away, but then ran into a building and blew up in a massive explosion---
Arago (Small bubbles): Hmm, I see
Boy: The guy who didn't board the bus was really lucky,
Boy: He ran away, but he wrote down what he saw, and he also said this about the bus's destination--

Panel 3:
Boy: "If you get on Ghost Bus, you're going to hell!!"

Panel 4:
Arago: Going to hell...

Panel 5:
Arago: I'd like to meet the guy who saw that accident.
Boy: Impossible, because---

Page 25:
Panel 1:
Boy: He's already dead.
Arago: Dead...

Panel 2:
Boy: Yeah, in yesterday's accident.
Girl: Once the Ghost Bus sets its sights on you, you're definitely going to be taken to hell!!

Panel 3:
1: Hold on.

Panel 4:
Rio: How long were you going to make me wait back there?
Rio: You said to wait, and I listened to you.

Panel 5:
Arago: Really? Did I say that? ... ha ha.
Rio: You did!

Panel 6:
Arago: Sorry, I had some urgent business so I forgot!!
Arago: You should go ahead and go home by yourself!!
Rio: Huh!?

Panel 7:
Rio: Wha! What is that!!
Arago: Later then!!
Rio: Hold on!!!

Page 26:
Panel 1:
1: London Main Library

Panel 2:
Arago: !!

Panel 3:
Arago: ...Here it is.

Panel 4:
Arago: "The Ghost Carriage---- Driven by the God of Death"
Arago: "It carries the deceased to the realm of the dead, and all those who see it will suffer some terrible misfortune---"

Panel 5:
Arago: "In England, the story has been modified greatly over time as it was handed down from the ancients,"
Arago: "And currently, many derivations such as the 'Ghost Taxi' exist."

Panel 6:
Arago: "Often, the Ghost Carriage is reported to appear repeatedly at certain locations--"
Arago: Sort of a regular course or route?

Page 27:
Panel 1:
Arago: But these three cases have happened in completely different locations...
Arago: Are they really just regular traffic accidents...?

Panel 2:
Arago: Then, that shadow that I saw...

Panel 3:
Arago: That was just like..
Arago: The Galley Beggar...

Panel 4:
Arago: Aah...
Arago (Small Bubble): Like the old days...
1: Why didn't you die instead of Ewan!?

Panel 5:
Arago: That's right, Ewan,
Arago: He died for my sake.
Arago: Strong minded woman.
Arago: So if I don't do something it's hopeless...
Arago: But I just can't do this.

Page 28:
Panel 1:
Arago: Until I can repay Ewan's soul...
Arago: What can I do...

Panel 2:
1: Why did you have my car towed!!
Officer: In order to prevent traffic congestion, 24 hour parking is prohibited here.

Panel 3:
1: In that case, why don't you widen the roads!?
1: There aren't any parking lots I can use around here, after all!!

Panel 4:
Officer: We've been using these roads since the days of carriages,
Officer: We have to protect the history and tradition of London.
Officer: Please understand.

Panel 5:
1: Even if you say that...

Panel 6:
Arago: Suffering for the sake of the past's beautiful recollections...

Panel 7:
Arago: That's how it is, huh...

Page 29:
Panel 1:
Joe: Winston Churchill said,
Joe: "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."

Panel 2:
Arago: Hold on a minute... The past... The future...
Rio: You haven't changed at all!

Panel 3:
Arago: Something that changed, something that didn't change.
Arago: I'm sure it was on the copy I made at the library...

Panel 5:
Arago: !!!

Panel 6:
Arago: Got ya!!!
Arago: Thank you Joe!!

Page 30:
Right side: Rio boards the Ghost bus, and Arago makes a breakthrough! The next issue will be another 22 pages!!

Panel 1:
Rio: Geez, what a self centered guy!!
Rio: His showing off today was terrible!
Rio: I shouldn't have come back!!

Panel 2:
Rio: ...This is stupid,
Rio: Getting mad all by myself...
Rio: I...

Panel 4:
Rio: Wah, It's full...

Panel 5:
Driver: One more...

Panel 6:
Driver: We have room for one more.
