slice: banana, little banana, small banana…\\
slice: lettuce, carrot, lemon…\\ here\\
slice: it still lack fibers…\\
slice: with this, it should be ok\\
2
sfx: pih\\
slice: it’s me\\
phone: mr slice you seem to be faring well today too\\
slice: half a month passed since I arrived in this city\\
slice: are your preparations still advancing?\\
phone: we have accomplished another step today, it will be faster than we have anticipated\\ because we were busy covering that other matter regarding our failure with the golem\\
slice: ah, yes, that fucking huge golem, right?\\ I have also invested my money in that matter and yet it was all for naught, right?\\
phone: well it was held in check by the royal army after all, furthermore someone employed the assassin guild\\
slice: what kind of guild is that?\\
slice: it is not an assassination anymore if you do that in plain sight\\
3
sick: souya-san, I’m particularly worried about those wings on the back of that young boy\\
sou: oh my, so that’s what you think?\\
all: what the hell is that?\\
sou: it is just a legacy\\ it is an article that really holds the meaning of “legacy” after all\\
sick: eh?\\
sou: more importantly, let’s eat breakfast before of the meeting\\
phone: what are you doing?\\
slice: I’m already tired of the breakfast they make in this hotel\\ I was thinking of making my food by myself\\
4
phone: is that a way of expressing your love for nijigami alice?\\
slice: from where are you spying on me, you peeping tom?\\ don’t get it wrong, this is not love\\
sfx: gari gari gari\\
slice: that bitch took my blood\\ and not only that, she also swiped my “money spirit” power\\
phone: you didn’t lose your power yourself, right?\\
slice: she stole my exclusive right on that ability, you know?\\ this is not just about killing a mosquito that sucked my blood\\
slice: I will take back the interests by smashing her teeth\\
phone: you really make me feel sick, mr slice\\
slice: I never worried of making a “politician” such as you like me\\
slice: but it is a different story if you are able to make the necessary preparations for that troublesome police they have here\\
5
text: in the past in this city the laws of “men” did not exist\\
box: after they city was released by the tyranny of the dragons, many people searching for the “legacies” came here\\
box: and a lot of different organizations were born so that the entire city would not be covered in blood\\
box: and one of these organization is in this building, the “jinbou-chou branch of the royal police”\\
box: they are an order enforcing agency that earned its independence from the central office in the capital, and even today they continue to protect the law in jinbou-chou\\
box: with a really simple method: by displaying more power than those who do not respect the law\\
sieg: eh… laika-chan?\\
lai: sieg-kun, why are you here?\\
6
lai: an investigation about the director?\\
sieg: I don’t understand why they are doing such a thing in this city, but… I have to identify him\\
lai: wow, that sounds rough\\
sieg: it seems that they will ask me a lot of other things as well\\
lai: and you don’t want that, right?\\
sieg: … not that much\\
sieg: why are you here, laika-chan?\\
lai: well, I’m helping them with an investigation\\
sieg: helping with an investigation?\\
lai: last month the meeting place of a gang exploded\\ I was around there by mere chance, and I have recorded the scene with my cameras\\
sieg: they stick their noses everywhere, heh…\\
lai: so this morning the policeman told me “we will reward good information with money” so I decided to come here to show them the records for the time being\\
lai: but the person in charge is still not here, so I’m waiting for him\\
sieg: yeah, I should have come a little later as well…\\
lai: then\\ let’s kill time with gossip, ok?\\
7
slice: well then…\\
slice: I will go to kill time by myself\\
phone: what do you intend to do?\\
slice: just… pestering people, you know?\\
phone: you are free to do such a thing, but do not be reckless\\ we don’t have guards to assign to you after…\\
sfx: pih\\
sli: I’m not a child, you know\\
8
slice: geez, I can hire a bodyguard by myself\\
toro: by the way, how is sieg-kun doing lately?\\
ali: well… he has quite adapted himself to the city\\
ali: he even received letters from his family after he obtained an address…\\
toro: I’m happy to hear that\\
ali: anyway, I wonder who was the one who went all the way to nominate me and toroma-san as his bodyguards\\
toro: we have to protect him like anyone else, no matter what kind of person he is\\
ali: maybe he is someone we know for a chance\\
over the door: visitors room\\
9
ali: sorry to keep you waiting!\\
ali: I’m nijigami alice and I will be in charge…\\
ali: of… you?\\
slice: yoh\\
slice: why don’t you hug me? a lot of time passed since the last time we met\\
ali: slice… why are you…\\
slice: hey, aren’t you a little too much informal\\
slice: toward your former master, I mean\\
10
bellossom: you are sieg-san, right?\\
bellossom: the preparations are ready, please come with me\\
sieg: ah, yes\\ well, see you later, laika-chan\\
lai: bye\\
bellossom: you don’t have to worry, you will have to identify him from behind the magic mirror, so he will not be able to see you\\
sieg: ok…\\
sfx: kacha\\
ver: kumonuma sieg, huh\\
sieg: y-yes\\
ver: there is a mountain of things that I would like to ask you, but first identify him\\
ver: is that person the man you call the “director”?\\
sieg: eh?\\
11
?: hello sieg-kun\\
ver: … I see\\
12
?: I’m happy that we met\\
?: you have grown up so well\\
ali: what is… your objective?\\
ali: is it my life?\\
slice: sure, I want to kill you, but not today\\
slice: you can even run away, but in that case people not involved with us could die\\
ali: …!\\
toro: alice-san you cannot bring personal matters in your work\\
13
ali: … but toroma-san!\\
ali: he is our client, not matter the past the two of you share\\
slice: he is right\\ you are a pro, right? do your job as long as I pay you\\
slice: think of this as a way to keep me under your watch\\
ali: kuh\\
slice: you behave like this doesn’t concern you, invisible man\\
slice: I could also strangle you to death according to my mood, you know?\\
toro: even in that case, I don’t have any reason for stopping from being your guard\\
slice: hah… just like the rumours say you don’t show your real feelings\\
slice: or could it be…\\ that you think that a dragon like you cannot be killed?\\
14
slice: did you think that I didn’t know that?\\ I even know that alice had to write an apology for the trailer incident, you know?\\
slice: you had to go against the cyborg soldier school, but at the end you allied with them and sent your employer flying, right?\\ you could oppose her without troubles for your job records and you were even almost uninjured\\even if you can say that the employer was paying for her mistakes, what kind of farce was that?\\
ali: … you… how much do you know…?\\
slice: don’t give me that face, I like farces\\ the world itself shouldn’t be a farce after all?\\
slice: “peace” is a world without deep darkness in which you can easily see the bottom after all\\
sieg: h-hum… I don’t know who that person is, but…\\
sieg: the director is a smiling woman, right?\\
15
sieg: who is… that guy?\\
ver: … what?\\
?: ah, I see\\
?: I forgot to say something important\\ nice to meet you sieg-kun\\
?: and\\
?: good bye\\
ver: this guy is… a dragon!\\
16
ali: that’s… is from the direction of the police station\\
17
slice: a new farce has just started\\
slice: from the next two weeks\\
slice: do your best as my bodyguards, ok?\\
mask: it seems that everything is going according to the plan\\
mask: but I never thought that he would use toroma and alice as bodyguards\\
18
jac: eh?\\ aaah!?\\
jac: w-why are you here!?\\
jac: it was because of you that I have to keep a low profile like this\\
mask: mr slice has a few screws lose in his head after all…\\
sfx: gun\\
jac: what the hell… are you talking about!?\\
sfx: chon\\
dir: ah yes, I came here to meet you\\ mr kawarada\\
jac: I was thinking of using your help a little more\\
sfx: basa\\
19
