This translation is for the use of Trinity BAKumA. If you'd like to use it for your scan then you must ask me first in a PM.

1)
Joe: Were you the one back there!?
Were you the one in the black coat who took the old shoe man away!?
Arago
-City of London Police's Special Crimes Investigator-
Chapter 17: Reason for Not Backing Down
Joe: Answer me Arago Hunt!!
Side Text: Joe, has he mistaken Arago for Patchman…!!?
Arai Takahiro

2)
Shannon: Haha.
Joe, no matter what the circumstances around that are…
Just having that portrait doesn’t mean that Arago and the man in the black coat are the same person, you’re jumping to conclusions.
SFX: *Ooh*
*Oh*
Rio: Joe-san…
Arago: He’s right old man.
I’ve been investigating on my own too.
I got it from a certain information source of my own.
Joe: “A certain information source?”
Arago: I know your old but do I really have to explain something so simple to you!?
Those are the results of my investigation!!
Anyways, I’m not the man in the black coat…

3)
Joe: I see….
I’m sorry…it looks like I got overexcited. (?)
But,
Didn’t I tell you to stay put?
Arago: That’s my choice!!
Joe: It’s not a choice! You didn’t listen to what I told you!?
Arago: That’s right, I didn’t listen!
But what does it matter, I’m just like Rupert and Shannon,
Even though I’m your partner you don’t give a damn about me!!
Joe: Shannon! You told him too much…

4)
Idiots, each and every one of you…
I was thinking of you when I said that!!
When I saw this case I knew that Patchman might be involved!!
I know what happened to your brother and your parents!!
That’s why I tried to get you to sit this one out!!
Someone like you who doesn't pay attention to his surroundings would only make things worse
You’ll just be putting the lives of your comrades in danger!
I…
Didn’t want you to end up like me.
I was the one…

5)
Who killed Rupert.
On that London day,
The rain was pouring....

6)
Rupert: So, where do we look from here?
Oh great and wise Joe Sullivan.
This should be fine? Let’s finish this up and head back soon.
Take a look at this, this tulip suits me pretty well, right?
Hey, are you listening Joe!
Hey!
Joe: London Underground, a network of secret tunnels used during the time of World War II as air raid shelters that stretched throughout the entire area.
Based on the large number of corpses Rupert found underground,
The likelihood of Patchman’s lair being close was incredibly high…
And my prediction was correct.

7)
Rupert: Blood…and chemicals…what a terrible smell…
Joe: There’s a corpse over here, with burn marks…
There’s no mistake, I was right…
He’s close.
Rupert: ……
These walls are rotting. This place isn’t going to hold the floods from the heavy rain.
This is too dangerous. Let’s call it a day. We’ll head back and call for back up.
Wait Joe!!

8)
Don’t rush in by yourself Joe!!
Why are you in such a hurry!? You'll just be throwing your life away!!
Joe: Patchman is here!!
Do you really want to let this chance of catching deranged mass murderer escape!?
Rupert: That guy is a demon, it’s too dangerous for us to go after him alone!
Joe: He’s not a demon!! The person we’re up against is just another human.
Rupert, don’t tell me you’ve lost your never.
Well I haven’t…the one who’s going to catch him is me!!
I knew…

9)
That in the CID they said we were an amazing team, but their evaluation of us was wrong.
Rio: Their evaluation…was wrong?
Joe: I was just an old-fashioned detective who supported his genius partner.
Rupert’s assistant, the garnish on the potato*, that’s all I was. (TN: Expression meaning that he's basically just there for show.)
I wanted to prove myself.
I wanted to reach the same level as Rupert….no,
I was trying to surpass him,
Rupert: Stop it Joe!
Do you want to die!?
Joe: Unlike you I don’t have anyone waiting for me to come back!
This is my duty!! I’ll arrest him even if I die!!
And then,

10)
I made a mistake.
It’s him! There he is!!
Rupert: Stop! You’ll be crushed if you follow him!!
Joe!!!

11)
Joe: Uhh…
Uhh…
Rupert: Are you alright….Joe?
Joe: Rupert!?
Rupert: It looks like the rubble separated us.
Hurry up and get out of here before the tunnel collapses.
Joe: Don’t be an idiot!! Are you hurt!?
Wait right there, I’ll move the rubble now!
Rupert: Hehe
Have it your way…
Heh…
Are you kidding me?
Joe: Rupert!!
What’s that sound!? Rupert!!
SFX: *Chainsaw grinding*

12)
Rupert!!
Rupert!!!
Rupert: Looks like…I’m out of luck.
SFX: *flick*
*flick*

13)
Joe: Is he there!? Is it Patchman!!?
Get out of there Rupert!! Rupert!!!!
SFX: *splash*
Rupert: Hey buddy…
Got a light?

14)
Joe: -------------------!!
By the time I had finally gotten through the rubble, Patchman was nowhere to be seen.
SFX: *Pant*
*Pant*
The only thing there…was the horrible sight…of my partner’s corpse…
His upper body was gone…all that was left were his legs and left arm…
It’s my fault…It’s all my…
You warned me…but I didn’t listen…
It’s because…I ran ahead…all on my own…!!

15)
Uooooh!!!!
I ignored the most important thing, teamwork, and as a result my partner lost his life…
I’m the worst kind of person there is…
If you don't want the same thing to happen to you, then you should listen to the warning of this senile old man.
Or else, you will lost your life as well.
Ewan: It’s pointless…
Don’t do it….
Arago: Ewan….
Even so….
Even so I….
I don’t care…

16)
I have to lay my life down to do this…
Otherwise I won’t be able to face those that have died!!
Rio: Arago!!
Joe: Let him go!!!

17)
Just let him go…
Ghari: Huh?
Huh?
Um….master? What do we do now?
Arago: Isn't it obvious? We need to hurry and get the arrowhead back before Joe.
Ghari: Joe….you mean that other old man, right?
Why’s he still hunting Patchman if he’s no longer in this world…
Arago: Shut up!!
Ghari: Eek!!

18)
Arago: What are you doing here gramps!? Didn’t I tell you not to leave my room!?
Leprechaun: The fairy’s arrowhead has been used again…
Do you know where?
SFX: *Nod*
Leprechaun: I know that even if I go there I won’t be able to stop him on my own…
But with that power of yours…
Ewan: Don’t waste this life that I’ve given you.
Arago: They’re right…I understand that…but still…
Joe: Someone like you will only put the lives of his comrades in danger.
There’s a reason why I won’t back down!!
Alright, let’s go.
Show us the way!!
Side Text: Disregarding Joe’s warning, Arago moves forward…!?
