Text Next to Ghari: Attack
Ghari: Leave it to me master! I’ll take him down with one shot!!
Girl: You’re so cute, can I touch you. ☆
SFX: *Dodge*
Ghari: Oho
Seth: Please don’t, I don’t like that sort of thing.
Ghari: It’s no use master…This guy is alright by me.
Girl: Ahhh ♥ My chest hurts!
Ghari: Aaa
Aaa
SFX: *Tap*
*Tap*
Arago: Hey, come 'ere for a sec.
Woman: Waittttt! What are you doing!? Don’t take Seth awayyyy!
SFX: Ouch!
Seth: I’m just taking the trash out.

Page 4:
How about some Coffee?
I’m sure you’ll like it, Mr. Detective.
Arago: What the hell are you doing here while you’re under investigation!?
Seth: I’m just volunteering,
I’m an MET* volunteer. (TN: Metropolitan Police)
Anyone who is over 18 and has lived in the UK for 3 years meets the qualifications.
Didn’t you know that Mr. Detective?
Arago: Hottttt
Of course I know that!
That’s not what I meant, just what are you planning you bastard!
I want to obtain the Brionac fragment from Patchman, so let’s team up.
SFX: *Shhh*
It sounds like a reasonable offer, doesn’t it? How many times do I have to tell you?
You’re being too loud.

Page 5:
You want to defeat Patchman and save your brother…
I want to defeat Patchman and obtain the Brionac fragment …
Basically, we both have the same obstacle stopping us from achieving our goals.
I’m glad, I couldn’t tell if your mind had collapsed back in the graveyard or if you would be able to fight anymore.
If that had happened I would have killed you myself and taken your half of Brionac.
Patchman’s four horsemen…
Do you really think you can take them on by yourself?
Arago: …….Seth,
What is it that you want Brionac for?

Page 6:
Seth: Not everyone acts on impulse, most follow the commandments of others…
I want to tear away the mask of hypocrisy.
Arago: Huh?
Seth: Oh, I’m sorry. That’s probably a little too difficult for you to grasp.
Ahaha
Arago: Pfffft!!?
Bastard, you think you can avoid being investigated by volunteering like this,
You can’t fool me! I’ll expose you to everyone!
Seth: Expose?
Arago: You were the one behind the Eames case!
Seth: I suppose you could do that…but would they believe you?
Arago: What?
Seth: Don’t they see me as a victim of that case?
Rather than exposing me, that would just cause you more problems Mr. Detective…
Right?
Arago: Do you always have a comeback?

Page 7:
Seth: Eventually you’ll have to tell them everything.
About Patchman’s power, your brother’s right arm…everything.
That old detective and that young police woman…
Don’t you trust them? Mr. Detective.
Arago: You have no right to talk to me like that.
Seth: You're such a clumsy person. You'll be the one to lose something in the end...
Although I don't hate that about you.

Page 8:
Rio: Hey you two, what are you doing?
Seth: Speak of the devil...
Rio: You’re Seth…right!?
Since you don’t have very many friends, you should try harder to get along with him Arago.
Arago: Get along!? With him!
!!
Text Next to Ghari: Miss Rio! ♥
Seth: Alright, just leave it to me.
Seth and Arago: ………
SFX: *Elbow*
SFX: *Stomp*
*Stomp*
Rio: I’m glad to hear that.
Joe: Arago, I need you in the criminal archive room afterwards.
Arago: Got yaaaaa!
Text next to Ghari: Miss Rio!!
Seth: Well I should be going too…

Page 9:
Arago: Hey.
If you try to pull something like with the shapeshifters again,
With Rio, the old man, or anyone else.
Ghari: Master? Does that mean me too?
Arago: I’ll kill you.
Seth: Having so many secrets is dangerous, I sympathize with you.
Let’s work together for the sake of each other’s happiness.
Our battle, can wait until after we defeat Patchman.
Arago: You mean, let’s work together so we can eventually kill each other?
That’s funny.
Ghari: Hey, hey, Masterrr

Page 10:
Ghari: Master, shouldn’t we meet that old man soon…
Arago: I’ll move in a little bit…
You’ll have to tell them everything eventually. Don’t you trust them?
Yeah…I thought the same thing.
Not being mistaken for Patchman…
That’s all I cared about at first…
But now, now all I can think about is not getting them involved…
I don’t want anyone else to become a victim like Ewan because of me…

Page 11:
Rio and the old man, no matter what I say they’ll continue to chase after Patchman…
Once they find out my secret there’s no turning back…
That’s why things are fine as they are.
SFX: *Rustle*
*Rustle*
Staying close in order to protect them…
I’m fine with…
Fighting monsters all on my own.
Coco: Stoppp
Stoppp
Arago: This is my last one today…
Bon appetit~~~~
Coco: Kyaaaaa

Coco: Owieeeeee….
Arago: You damn dog!! What the hell are you doing!? That’s my chocolate bar!
Coco: I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! Leave it, Leave it!! Coro!!
Arago: Where the hell is this mutt’s owner!!!
Coco: Down here!!
Arago: Downnn!? I don’t see you!!
Coco: !!
Ghari: Master!!
Arago: This aura…that can knock me off my feet…it’s….
Oh crap
Coco: Um…c, could it be…
Arago: Oh no!!


Page 14:
Coco: Senpai…..
Hunt Senpai!
Arago: Co….
Coco….
Ghari: What a cutie!!


Page 15:
Ghari: Do you know her?
Arago: She was my underclassmen from the police training academy, she only connected with me for some reason…
Ever since then I’ve really hated…
This sparkling aura…* (TN: Arago can see people’s auras because of Brionac)
Ghari: Sparkling? It’s more like a fighting spirit…it’s so violent…
Arago: Even if she tries to conceal it, I can still see it
Um….Coco?
Coco: Y, yes!!
*Handler…Police dog trainers.
I’m glad to see you became a handler*, that was always your dream…
Although this mutt doesn’t seem to listen to you at all. (Text Next to Bubble: Judging from what just happened…)
Coco: Eh! Ehh!?

Page 16:
SFX: *Twitch*
Arago and Coco: !
Coco: Coro! You’re supposed to stay on my left side!
It’s all because I’m so inexperienced, I can’t draw out this one’s good qualities…
Ghari: Kukuku, I bet this dog is jealous.
Could…it be….
Can you see me?
Coco: You’re amazing senpai. You’re already an active detective in the CID…
Me on the other hand, all I do is mess things up…
But I’m glad I could meet you and see that you’re doing well!
Coro and I, we’ll definitely find some clue about the disappearances!

Page 17:
Arago: Disappearances….
Coco: Um…Senpai…
If I do a good job on this case,
Do you think…
Nnnnnnnever mind! It’s nothing!
Arago: H, hey! Aren’t you forgetting something!?
The dog!
SFX: *Stare*
Arago: What are you looking at,
You aren’t getting another chocolate bar…
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!


Page 18:
SFX: *Doki*
*Doki*
Coco: This is the area where the disappearances have been happening…
Today we’ll definitely solve the case…
SFX: *Hmm*
Let’s make them reevaluate the value of our double C-minus combination*! (TN: I’m guessing this what everyone calls them)
SFX: *Stare*
Coco: Hey Coro!
Wrong way!
The river’s in the opposite direction!! Stop dragging me!!
Coro!!
Text: Something is drawing closer to Coco and Coro, a new monster!? Find out next chapter!!

Note: Up until now I’ve avoided using honorifics and other Japanese words as much as possible (i.e. chan, kun, sensei, etc.) and instead have tried to use English alternatives, and for those of you who know the Japanese language, that’s not always easy. So I’ve decided from now on to just use the Japanese text in the event I can’t come up with an English alternative that sounds better.
