138th Night: Yet The Hands of Time Move Onward
[side text: A new day is dawning, and an odd lodger is there to greet it...?!]

2
People: Did you hear? Allen Walker could be a tool of the Noah... // I hear that Central have started poking around the place... // I hear that even General Cross is under house arrest, they're placing him under suspicion together with his student... // No way! An Exorcist...?! // But I have heard that the Noah have strange powers... don't you think they would be able to sneak one of their underlings into the Order as an Exorcist? / Destroying us from within... // Cross was always a little weird... // But a kid like that... unbelievable...
Bak: What's with this atmosphere?
Nansen: It looks like the rumours about Walker and General Cross have been spreading.
Epsteini: It sounds like the story's been blown out of proportion, too...

3
Bak: What's that?
Epsteini: Well, you know the kid's left arm turned into a weapon that looks just like the Earl's? / I've heard people wondering whether it isn't Innocence at all...
Bak: WHAT THE HELL'S WITH THAT?! THAT'S JUST STUPID!
Epsteini: Don't get angry at me! This is just a rumour that happens to be going around! / I'm sure it'll settle down, so don't worry about it!
Nansen: I wonder about that...
Bak: Whadda YOU want, 7-3?!
[TN: The "7-3" is a reference to his hair parting :p]
Nansen: It looks like the story about how he tried to save the traitor Suman has been spreading as well.
Johnny: !
Nansen: Even though Suman had caused the deaths of so many people.
Johnny: (In the middle of a war like this... // Can a gap like that really close so easily once it has opened?)

4
Johnny: ALLEN IS A GOOD GUY!!
[TN: YAY JOHNNY!]
People: What's that? // What's he saying... // It's that Science Department guy... // Ohh.. // He surprised me.
Bak: !
People: What's with him...?

5
Allen: (Somehow I'm getting used to it...!! // Seems like I'm the only one who can see it... / It was a huge shock for all sorts of reasons to begin with, but now I'm kind of used to it... // I just have to calm down and think about this in positive terms. Yeah! At least it's not talking or anything! It's just hanging around, like an Akuma's soul or something.) // Yeah, it's no problem!
[sFX: That's it!]
Timcanpy: ...
Link: Huh?
Lavi: Morning~~~ // Hey, Allen, you've gut huge bags under your eyes... Two-Spot here hasn't been interrogating you again, has he?
Link: "Two-sp -" / That's very rude!
Allen: Oh, you're not going to have any effect like that/ // Link, Lavi's basically a kid, so he loves giving people nicknames. / You have to be a lot more forceful if you want to get him to stop.
Link: ...
Lavi: [aside]eheheh...[/aside] / Say, Allen, have you forgotten that I'm actually older than you...?
Link: Are these guys taking me lightly...? / [aside]No, that's impossible... // I'm just getting that impression because I'm the short one here...

6
Lavi: I thought it'd be dragging you down, but you seem pretty cool about the whole thing...
Allen: [aside]What are you even talking about?![/aside] / Well, you know... // When there's something you can't understand no matter how much you think about it, you can't let yourself just brood over it forever!
Lavi: ...
Bookman: Kid...
Allen: Besides, there's nothing in the world that could really get me down after Master's debts!
[sFX: Ahahahahahahahahaha]
Link: ...
Lavi: I see...
Bookman: Kid...
People: (He's just so positive...)
[sFX: chatter / chatter]
Lavi: What's up, what's up?
Allen: "Entry forbidden except for the Chemistry department"?
Reever: Oh, hey, g'morning over there!

7
Allen: !! / That's... // The "Plant" egg?! // You brought it here from the Ark?
Lavi: You investigatin' it?
Reever: Well, you know. / It's an incredible opportunity to find out more about the Akuma. / [aside]Like how to modify them and stuff...[/aside]
Lavi: More importantly, could you get around to fixing my hammer...?
Reever: Well, we have a ton of people with requests like that right now... / With all the people collapsing from overwork, we're a little shorthanded... we'll deal with it as soon as this is over, okay...?
Allen: [aside]I think you should wait, Lavi...[/aside] / (Reever-san has bags under his eyes worse than mine...)

Kanda: ......... // What is it?
Lenalee: Nothing. / Just thought I'd try meditating with you for once.
Kanda: ........ // ......... It's LeVerrier, huh. / You always seem to run over to my place whenever that guy's around.
Lenalee: Uuhh... // I just hate having everyone worry about me. // [aside]And everyone seems so busy and everything...[/aside] // Ever since we were small, I could be with you and you wouldn't ask me any questions, so it helps me relax.

9
Lenalee: ...... / I really am running away, aren't I... // I just can't take it like this! I have to be stronger... // But still! But still... Uuuhhhhhh......
Kanda: [aside]You're stopping me concentrating...[/aside] // Although I think you are a pretty strong person.
Lenalee: Kanda...
Kanda: Just shut up and meditate. // [aside]If you're not gonna do it, then get out.[/aside]
Golem: BEEP BEEP BEEP~~ / Lenalee Lee is to come to Hevlaska's chamber immediately! // Order of Secretary LeVerrier and the Supervisor!
Lenalee: !

10
Hevlaska: The synchro rate is under 10%...
Lenalee: What's that?
Hevlaska: For the moment... I think we should return the Innocence to my own body... // To restore its original form...
Lenalee: (The Boots have melted...?!)

11
Lenalee: My legs... the pattern is fading...
Komui: That's great. You aren't hurt at all, right, Lenalee?
LeVerrier: So what exactly is the situation, Hevlaska? / Has the girl ceased to be compatible with the Innocence?
Hevlaska: That's not... the case... // However... Just like the situation with Allen Walker's Innocence, // right now... the Innocence is exhibiting a phenomenon that has never before been seen.
[box: I feel some kind of will...]
Hevlaska: In fact... It is very similar to the way the Akuma feed upon sorrow and evolve... // The Innocence is reacting to the strong emotions of its compatible user... yes...
LeVerrier: ! // "Evolve"... // Are you saying the Innocence has begun to evolve...?

12
Komui: Evolution... Is that it...?!
Hevlaska: Perhaps... // But this power may come as a heavy price... // Something like a parasitic-type...
Lenalee: Huh?
Hevlaska: Lenalee... / The parasitic-type possesses a higher level of power than the equipment-type... // Perhaps this is why it is so rare...... // Parasitic-type users possess a powerful Innocence within their own bodies, and it continually pushes those bodies beyond their limits. // As such, their lifespan is used up more quickly than a normal person's. // They do not have as long to live as other humans.

13
Lenalee: (What... / did you say...?) // Nii...-san... / Is that true?
LeVerrier: Hevlaska... are you saying that Lenalee's Innocence is becoming a parasitic-type?
Hevlaska: That is... as yet unclear... // However... When the two of them next synchro... // I think...... she will need to be prepared...

14
Link: Walker, you're still only fifteen, you need to try to eat more vegetables.
Allen: Surely you're the one who's eating nothing but cakes!
Lavi: Ugh, what's with you two, so early in the morning...
Bookman: Youngsters...
Somebody: JOHNNY! STOP HANGING AROUND AND GET TO WORK!!
Johnny: I - I'm sorry! // Section Chief Bak, you can't come in here today!
Bak: Idiot, I'm a brilliant scientist, you know! // Besides, you're short on hands, aren't you? I can help you out! / That's right, out of the way, little man.
Johnny: Chie~~~~f!
Reever: Ughhhh...
Johnny: Look, we have a job to do, okay, so...! / [aside]Honestly...![/aside]

15
Johnny: ......... / ......... / Wha......?
Lulubell: That's right, you have a job to do.
Bak: H... / Hey!
Johnny: Ughhh...
Lulubell: I too... // ...have a job to do.
