panel 1
b1-1: Hokuto Kokonoe...
b1-2: I was at the festival when I met him.
panel 2
b1: A coincidence?
b2-1: Yes...
b2-2: but at the time he was searching for Mercurio.
panel 3
b1: Why did he...
b2: since... ah, it's that room...

PAge 2
panel 1
b1: Kokonoe... Just like you said.
sign: Kokonoe Kako – Hokuto
b2-1: Kokonoe... Kako, Hokuto...
b2-2: Xiangzi...
panel 2
b: That's rare... Is it a girl’s name...?
t: But it's a really cute name...
panel 3
b1: Eeeh---?
textline1: He has a wife!
textline2: And they’re living together!
textline3: Why do I feel left behind!?
b2: She's his older sister!
panel 4
t1: Oh... So they're siblings...
t2: How embarrassing...
b: The door hanger is from when they were still living together!

Page 3
panel 1
b1: It seems like there's no one inside, and I don't smell Hokuto either.
b2: So he really isn't here...
b3: I originally thought that if we were able to meet him here, we would be able to settle this sooner.
panel 2
b1: Let's go in. It's bound to have some clues.
t: Open up!
b2: ...Hold on a second!
b3: We aren't going to do what Hokuto did!
panel 3
b1: You... Before, you furiously said you wouldn't forgive him...
sfx: twitch...
b2: And it's not like we're stealing anything!
b3: ...That's good...
panel 4
b2: Alright, then I'll go in by myself!

Page 4
panel 1
b1: Ah.. Eukanaria!
b2: This way you don't need to feel like you've done something wrong!
panel 2
b: mm....
b2: BAM!
panel 3
b: Empty, as expected...

page 5
panel 1
b2: That's right, Kokonoe doesn't live with his sister does he?
panel 2
b1-1: Probably lives by himself,
b1-2: He said he was a university student.
panel 3
b1-1: I don't really get it,
b1-2: but it seems like he said he skipped grades to get into university...
b2-1: Skipped grades...
b2-2: Into engineering too... How impressive!
panel 4
b: Since he's that great of a person, stealing blueprints would be useless for him...

page 6
panel 1
b1-1: How will we be able to meet Kokonoe?
b1-2: Will he be coming back here...?
panel 2
b1-1: He'll be back...
b1-2: He's a very stubborn child...
b2: Eh?
b3: Alright, but if he doesn't come back...

page 7
panel 1
b1: Eukanaria...
t: Naa, it's all in English...
b2-1: Actually,
b2-2: if the stolen stuff can be returned, that'll be good enough... right?
panel 2
b1-1: Right...
b1-2: Ya...
panel 3
b1-1: Actually, if Hokuto only stole Fulcanelli's techniques,
b1-2: then I wouldn’t worry...
b2: Fulcanelli would also... definitely forgive Hokuto.

page 8
panel 1
b1: Actually, before...
b2-1: Hey, Eukanaria,
b2-2: As for this workshop…others can't enter it right?
panel 2
b: That's right. I already locked it.
panel 3
b1-1: I must keep the Enchanter tools safe!
b1-2: If they aren't at least on the same level as me, then they won't be able to steal anything.

page 9
b1: The ones that can enter... You haven't seen many of them.
b2: There's Paracelsus, Cagliostro, Nanaera... Belle, and there may even be more!
panel 2
b1: Anyways, when the time comes, we'll definitely fight it out. I absolutely won't lose!
t: Come and get me--
b2: This again...
b3: Yes, I know... but,
panel 3
b1: I will protect your important things, so don't worry!
b2: If someone wants to steal anything, I won't let them get away with it!

page 10
panel 1
b1-1: ...the devices and techniques themselves have no value...
b1-2: They actually evolve gradually, and then break when the time comes.
b2:This so-called technology is composed of a series of programming covered by metal sheets…
panel 2
b1-1: If he could use it efficiently, then I don't mind,
b1-2: nor will I dispute it.
b2: I truly cannot see the guy who covets everyone's techniques being able to make anything useful.
panel 3
b1-1: It depends what you consider useful...
b1-2: Well... I shouldn’t make such a big deal about it all the time.
b2: It looks like it's the devices. Some people also consider those important!

page 11
panel 1
b1: The things you make for people... They are all important!
b2: Not only this, but everyone also has their own important items...
panel 2
b1-1: Before I only knew how to break things,
b1-2: but it was you who taught me the importance and value of those items!
panel 3
b1-1: Even though I can't talk with Fulcanelli right now,
b1-2: I know he would say that, because that's the kind of person he is.

page 12
panel 1
b1: See?
t1: That's my boyfriend-
t2: Good, good.
b2: He's actually pretty awesome...
panel 2
b1-1: This...
b1-2: This means that Fulcanelli was your teacher.
b2-1: Ah? Teacher?
b2-2: How's that?
panel 3
b1: Hilbrecht said...
b2-1: Hahaha, that does seem like his style,
t: He does love to preach.
b2-2: Ya, perhaps it is like that!
panel 4
b: You could say it's the same as with Yuka!

page 13
panel 1
b1: You will do things to ensure Yuka's happiness.
b2-1: To ensure Yuka's happiness...
b2-2: I see... but that's not the only reason,
panel 2
b1-1: That Hokuto guy is really hard working...
b1-2: When he saw Yuka, he probably thought she and I were the same...
panel 3
b1: As for Hokuto...
b2: it's definitely for his sister...

page 14
panel 1
b1: Kokonoe's sister... is definitely scary.
(small)t: Sorry for imagining you like this...
(bold)t1: You want
(bold)t2: to die?
b2: Little brother's so valiant...
b3: Aiya, it was more of a 'cute' feeling.
panel 2
b1-1: I remember...
b1-2: She said she was working on a vehicle control system.
b2-1: Eh...? That…
b2-2: That guy’s sister is also an engineer?
panel 3
b1: Yeah, she also said that...
t1: Our work is to make things more convenient.
t2: I also don't want people to be scared of cars anymore, so I must try to prevent accidents from happening.
b2: Eh...?

page 15
panel 2
b1-1: What a great person.
b1-2: There’s definitely a moment when she had this idea.
b2: Perhaps...
panel 3
b1-1: Kokonoe...
b1-2: has such a great sister...
panel 4
b1-1: That's right... Eukanaria,
b1-2: regarding what caused Kokonoe to find Mercurio-
b2: Here...
b3: Ah?

page 16
panel 1
b1-1: What did you find? -- Ah!
b1-2: Don't tell me it's Mer's chip?
b2: No.
b3: It's an entrance using demonic power...
panel 2
b1: Uhh... I don't get it...
b2: But since Kokonoe is now an Enchanter, that means...
panel 3
b1-1: Hokuto's workshop is probably locked as well...
b1-2: His power is probably a lot stronger than mine, so no matter what we do it's impossible to enter.

page 17
panel 1
b1: But I have to know who he's working with-
b2: No, who the hell he's being used by!
panel 3
b1: !
b2: This seal is...

page 18
panel 1
b1: Hey... are you okay?
b2-1: I'm fine, I know who it is.
b2-2: I just never thought it would be Nanaela...
panel 2
b: ...Nanaela?
panel 2
b1-1: Even though she's a coward, she has an incredibly strong demonic power.
b1-2: This can't be good. If her power is given to Hokuto...

page 19
panel 1
b1-1: Hokuto is looking for information on Mer,
b1-2: All he told me was that he just wanted "to meet her".
b2: He was (definitely) lying...
panel 2
b1: ...Why do you think that?
b2-1: It's simple. It just depends on whether he wanted to steal the chip or not...
b2-2: Also... There's some type of connection between Nanaela and Cagliostro.
panel 3
b: Mer's chip is one of Cagliostro's creations...

page 20
panel 1
b1: Did Cagliostro order Kokonoe to take the stuff away?
b2-1: It's hard to say...
b2-2: but (you can see that)/(it’s quite obvious) nothing else was stolen from Fulcanelli's workshop! (I like either or for flow. =)
panel 2
b1: Although it's just a speculation...
b2: But Hokuto should concentrating on school right now!
panel 3
b1: In order to learn Cagliostro's or Fulcanelli's techniques...
b2: When I see him in person, there’s something I need to ask.
panel 4
b1: Alright!
b2: That’s all!

page 21
panel 1
b1: That's right... How do we get to Hokuto?
b2: Ah... Okay, are you ready?
b3-1: First we have to take care of a few procedures, then go into the gallery...
b3-2: I have the bag with me anyways.
panel 2
b: That way...
panel 4
b1-1: That's right,
b1-2: We still have the clothes from Paracelsus, right? The ones from that time in the crystal caves...
b2-1: Oh,
b2-2: Yes...

page 22
panel 1
b1-1: Ehh!
b1-2: You're going to wear Fulcanelli's ceremonial clothing?
b2: Too close!
sfx: Wa!?
panel 2
b1: I'll go grab them! I'll go grab them!
b2: Quickly, I'm begging you.
b3: Got them!
b4: That was fast!
panel 3
t1: ...I think wearing just the inner lining would be fine...
t2: This seems like it would make it hard to move... and would make me look awkward...
t3: Eh- This again-
t4: At least give it a try, maybe just the cloak-
panel 4
b1-1: It's been a while since I've been in the gallery.
b1-2: Follow me, Haruhiko...
b2: This place is located in both the magic dimension and yours.

page 23
panel 1
b1-1: Wow...
b1-2: It sounds pretty intense.
b2-1: From here we can go any place we want,
b2-2: but we must first ask for help from the person who manages this place.
panel 2
t: A gateway?
panel 2
b1-1: Belle-
b1-2: Can you help guide us?
b2: Belle-

page 24
panel 1
b1-1: Belle?
b1-2: If we ask her, she can take us to Kokonoe's workshop?
b2-1: Well, actually... we still have to get Hokuto's permission,
b2-2: Belle can only act as a coordinating mediator. (In other words, ) She can only open the door for us.
panel 2
t1: Kokonoe... Will he give us permission...?
panel 3
t1: Before resorting to that, if he just listens to what I have to say, then that will be enough.
t2: But if he doesn't...
t3: In the end, I will have to use force.
panel 4
t1: Aah, this isn't good. I have to pull myself together...
t2: I have to make sure he brings back Mer's chip!
b: Weird… She's not here?

page 25
panel 1
b1: Did she head out to play?
b2: So carefree-
t: Waah-- I've been so serious. How embarrassing...
panel 2
b1: I'll go look for her...
b2: Ah... okay.

page 26
panel 1
b1: Are you...
panel 2
b1: Haruhiko-san?
b2-1:
b2-2: Who are you...?
panel 3
b1-1: Ah, you couldn't be Belle...
b1-2: Right?

page 27
panel 1
t: ...Who is this...?
b1: Are... Are you alright?
b2: You look pale...
panel 2
b2: That...
b3: Hokuto-san.
panel 3
b1-1: Haruhiko-san...
b1-2: is on the first floor of Belle's gallery.
panel 4
b: You...!

Page 28
panel 1
b1: So you actually came, Haruhiko.
panel 2
b: Are you here to kill me?

Page 29
panel 1:
b: Kokonoe...!
panel 2
b1: You even went through the trouble of rushing over here.
b2: I wanted to enrage you and see if you would break into my workshop!

Page 30
panel 1:
b1-1: Don't...
b1-2: Don't think that you and I are the same.
b2-1: Do you know what the hell you're doing?
b2-2: Give me back the things you stole!
panel 2
b: I heard Nanaela say that the things in that workshop were someone else's.
panel 3
b1: So what are you angry about? Is it because of the directive?
thoughtb: Bastard
b2-1: Those things were left in my care. It's got nothing to do with the directive!
b2-2: They are important to Eukanaria!

Page 31
panel 1
b1: She also said that if you give everything back, we could pretend nothing happened.
b2: The problem…is that it already has.
panel 2
b1-1: Give them back to me!
b1-2: You ignorant bastard!
b2-1: You... How come you had...
b2-2: Mercurio's chip?
panel 4
b1: That is one of Cagliostro's inventions!
b2: Did you steal it as well?

Page 32
panel 1
b1: Mer's...!
b2: What are you talking about!? That's something I got from Mer!
panel 2
b1-1: Then why don’t you use your fists…
b1-2: to come and take it back.
b2-1: That... It's not like that, Kokonoe!
b2-2: I just want you to return it!
panel 4
b1-1: Aah-- Such a boring response...
b1-2: So the brat with Fulcanelli's power is this weakling?
b2: Does he think that people will do things just because he tells them to?

Page 33
panel 1
fuzzyb1: Hey, Hokuto…can you hear me?
fuzzyb2: There's (also that) / (another) one... You must be Haruhiko?
panel 2
fuzzyb: I'm Cagliostro...
panel 3
b1: Mercurio's chip doesn't belong to either of you...
b2: It's my device.

Page 34
panel 1
b: Che...
fuzzyb1: But I'm not interested in it anymore.
fuzzyb2: Also, I’ve never cared much for that ‘thing’. It is just a piece of metal.
panel 2
b1: But you want to set things right, don't you?
b2: I understand how you feel... Aah...
panel 3
b1-1: Then I'll give the chip to you,
b1-2: Hokuto.

Page 35
Panel 2
b: Thank you...
panel 3
t: This...
fuzzyb1: (Ok, now) / (Good)... Haruhiko, this means you no longer have any rights over the chip!
fuzzyb2: If you still want it, then what will you do...
b: Haruhiko.
t: These guys...!

Page 36
b1-1: This chip...
b1-2: I'm almost done analyzing it.
b2: Master also gave it to me...
panel 2
b: I’m satisfied to deal with it however possible.

Page 37: nothing

Page 38
b1: Not good…
b2: how "interesting".

Page 39
panel 1/2
b1-1: That, that---
b1-2: There has to be a belt here--
b2: It will make the suit look cuter!
panel 3
b1-1: That's right!
b1-2: I want it to be resistant to both fire and water.
b2: Because safety's the most important thing!
panel 4
b2-1: Waaah, thank you!
b2-2: The one that Ai-chan picked up has dual elemental magic!

Page 40
panel 1
b1-1: What did you say?
b1-2: No way! So humble! How cute!
b2: Next time, everyone can come and bring (over) some tea!
b3: Hey...
panel 2
b1-1: What the hell are you doing, Belle?
b1-2: Is it alright to leave the gallery alone again?
b2: Ah!
panel 3
b1: You're back, Doctor!
b2: Please hurry up and make me your bride.
panel 4
b1: You're such a superficial bar girl.
t: What kind of greeting is that?
b2: Ah! How rude! I'll sue you!

Page 41
b1: Why are you here?
b2: To get Ai-chan to make me a uniform!
b3: For example, I am often disappointed when an Enchanter's workshop’s directive is to be locked. I think that's just senseless.
panel 2
b1: Ah...
b2: I’m not gonna sit here and say that everyone needs to stop fighting after the fact, but there needs to be a mediator somehow.
panel 3
b1-1: Then I will establish a "Patrol Guard".
b1-2: So no one can illegally intrude!
b2: First they'll have to come and talk to me, and make use of "Belle's Gallery" functions!

Page 42
panel 1
b1: Simply speaking, you're just idling.
b2: Since we haven't had too many new Enchanters lately, there aren't many activities either...
b3: No one needs the Gallery anymore...
panel 2
b1: Anyway(s), I can't say much about the Gallery,
b2: but there are far too few regulations regarding the demons or enchanters.
panel 3
b1-1: That’s the thing I’m worried about!
b1-2: You should be able to understand me.
b2: Belle!
panel 4
b1-1: So this is where you were!
b1-2: Alright, can you help me open up the gallery?
b2: Wah… Eukanaria!
