Box: Northwestern London
Hampstead
Man: The police?
Yes, of course…..
It’s right this way.
Joe: Oh…
Side Text: What are Special Crime’s Arago, Joe, and Rio here for!?
Joe: So this is the crying statue of the Virgin Mary.
Man: Yes, the great Mary herself has come to grieve over our degradation.
Many people visit here every day, seeking salvation.
Joe: Something like that would certainly draw in a good amount of donations, wouldn’t it?
Man: Wh…why yes…

Joe: Rio, hold this steady for me.
Rio: Alright.
Man: !!?
Joe: I’m just going to take a closer look.
Man: What are you doing! You’ll bring down God’s wrath!!
SFX: *Stretch*
Joe: Unfortunately I’m not the type,
To believe in things like God and divine punishment.
Oil……?
It smells like…fish?
Ah, now I see.
The tears are really melted fish oil.
During mass, you increase the temperature of the room by lighting the candles.
Unlike other types of oil, fish oil has a much lower melting point.
Once the oil begins to melt, it appears as if tears are falling from Mary’s eyes.

Creating a false miracle in order to take money from the devout,
Wouldn’t someone be damned for that?
SFX: *Clench*
Joe: Your under suspicion for fraud, I’m going to have to ask you to come with us.
Man: Hee…
Fuhehehehe…
Rio: Calm down!!
SFX: *Dash*
Page 5:
Arago!! Don’t let him get away!!
Why isn’t he here!?
Where did that idiot go!?
SFX: *Pant*
*Pant*
Imp: I can’t let you get caught! By expanding this guy’s cunning and malice, I’ll make even more money!
SFX: Hihihi
Ghari: Master! That thing clinging to him is an imp!
A greedy little demon!!
SFX: *Hmph*
Imp: Out of my wayyyy!!!

Page 6:
Arago: I don’t think so.
Man: Huh?
Imp: No way…He forcibly exorcised me…
Man: Where am I? Why am I…
Imp: Gyaaa!!
Man: ?

Text next to Joe: Oh…
Arago: Yo.
Rio: Arago!! What did you leave your post for!?
Arago: Sorry, I had a really bad stomach ache so I went to the bathroom, and I happened to run into this guy.
!
Joe: What a troublesome guy, and right when we needed you most.
Rio: ………
Text next to Rio: Owowowow
Arago: Hey, I caught the guy didn’t I!?

Page 8:
Alfred: Congratulations on your arrest.
Joe: Thank you, superintendent.
Alfred: But recently, it seems like your field of expertise has become more crowded…
Joe: They can balance their duties in the CID.
Alfred: Officially, the Special Crimes department doesn’t exist.
Keep in mind that it’s your own private post.
Joe: It’s because of you that I’ve been able to do as I please, Mr. Superintendent.
Alfred: “Mr. Superitendent”…..huh?
That younger twin that you’ve been looking after…How has Officer Hunt been?
Joe: He’s coming along…he can be a little erratic at times though.
You don’t need to worry about him, he can get things done when he needs to.

Page 9:
You’re the one I’m worried about, chief inspector Sullivan.
Officer Hunt reminds me of the old you…
And, the current you reminds me of Rupert.
I don’t want a repeat of what happened to Rupert.
Flashback: Got a light?
You warned me…but I didn’t listen…
It’s because…I ran ahead…all on my own…!!
Alfred: If you weren’t so fixated on Patchman,
You could be the one sitting in this right now……
SFX: *Sigh*
Joe: There was this cheeky kid who always used to say nothing but “Joe! Joe!”…
Flashback: I’m Alfred Millar, I was just assigned to the CID today!
Joe: Just leave everything to me Alf.

Page 10:
Ghari: Another small fry again today.
SFX: *Sigh*
Arago: Doesn’t really feel like a victory…
I still haven’t found any clues.
Flashback: I scraped you up all for the sake of your cute younger brother…
So try to look a little happier Ewan…
Your majesty.
Arago: Until Patchman and the Four Horsemen make their move, I should try to find out as much as I can…
…The four horsemen……Each one has dominion over a quarter of the earth, and…
They kill humans using their authority over war, famine, death, and beasts…

Seth: Oh, I see now.
So then that man who calls himself Lucian would be the Pale Rider who rules over “beasts.”
Arago: Oh great…you again…
Seth: So this is where you were Mr. Detecitve, I’ve been looking for you.
Arago: Bastard! You’re not supposed to be here Seth!!
Seth: What an amazing collection of materials.
Was the old the detective the one who collected all of these?
This place…it’s called the Grey Museum.
The resting places of mysterious case files with no clear conclusions.
Arago: Are you listening to me!?
Seth: Did you say something?

Page 12:
Rio: Oh, Arago…I thought you’d here…
Seth?
Seth: Hi there Rio.
Ghari: Miss Rio!
Rio: You shouldn’t be in this room!
Did Arago let you in!?
Arago: It wasn’t me…!
Seth: I’m sorry Rio, I begged Arago to let me in here.
You see, I’m really interested in the occult and urban legends…
Patchman in particular……
Rio; Arago…you told Seth about that?
Arago: No, I didn’t!
Rio: What’s wrong with you!? You won’t trust me but you’re perfectly fine with talking to someone who has nothing to do with this!?

Page 13:
Rio: Today, why did you really leave!? It wasn’t to go to the bathroom!!
I know you were lying!!
A while back, when you and Joe were fighting,
You were hiding something then too!!
Flashback: Anyways, I’m not the man in the black coat…
Rio: You know something about Patchman, tell me what it is!!
Arago: Hey, just calm down…
Rio: Aren’t we your friends!?
I want to avenge Ewan too!!
Tell me Arago!!!

Page 14:
Lucian: So boringggg.
How much longer do we have to wait around?
What are you waiting for your majestyyyy
That Brionac guy and that black haired brat,
I just want to kick their asses alreadyyyy
SFX: *Hmph*
*Shake*
*Shake*
I’m tired of this.
Hades……

Page 15:
He won’t mind……
If we lot off a little steam, right?
Rio: Please, tell me.
Arago.
Arago: I really……
Don’t know…anything.
Rio: ………Fine.
I get it………

Radio: Explosion in the underground subway, cause unknown...
Arms unit required…
SFX: *Hmph*
Seth: Cool!
Good, you managed to keep your secret safe.
Arago: Damn you……

Page 17:
Radio: Due to an uncontrolled electrical short,
The train has overrun.
Possible terrorist attack.
Arms unit has formed a perimeter around the area, passengers are being evacuated…
Civilian: Was it another terrorist?
Officer: We’re still investigating.
Please calmly follow the officer’s directions.
Rio:…….
Arago always touches his ear when he’s lying!!
Why is he so set on hiding things from me!?
Well if that’s the way he’s going to act, then I’ll figure it out on my own!!
Lucian: C’est Cool!
Rio: !
Lucian: Heh, who knew there were hotties like this in the police.
I might just join up myself-♪
