Lucian: Hey hey, how about a date?
Cop: We’re still currently investigating the cause…
Please calmly follow the person in front of you back to the platform.
Lucian: Are you ignoring me, huhhhhh?
Rio: I’m on duty!
Side Text: Why has Patchman’s ally, Lucian of the four horsemen approached Rio…!?
Rio: Please follow the instructions and quickly return to the platform!
Lucian: You shouldn’t get angry, it’ll ruin that cute face of yours.
Rio: Leave me alone!
Officer: Is there a problem here?
Rio: This guy is……
Lucian: Oh, no problem here.

Hades!
SFX: *Sniff*
*Sniff*
Lucian: Fine, fine. I got it, I’ll get lost.
Till we meet again.
Rio:…………
Nn…

Page 4:
Even though it's about Patchman, there are so many records about him…
I’ll have to look through them all.
I won’t get anywhere by complaining.
Flashback: I don’t know anything.
Rio: I’ll do this without Arago!!
Box: Cross Quarter Station Cafe
Rio: I can’t fight on an empty stomach.
What should I have today.
Joe: Oh, Rio.
Have you made any progress with your investigation?
Rio: Joe-san, thanks for letting me look through the archives.
Joe: The Grey museum is really just a large collection of gossip.
But even among one hundred lies, one truth is bound to be mixed in.

Page 5:
I’m sure you’ll find that truth.
Rio: I will, thank you very much.
SFX: *Spank*
Joe: If you aren’t sure about something, feel free to ask me!
Coco: Senpaaaaai!
Arago: Don’t come over here Coco!! Gahh!
Coco: Are you alright senpai!! Did you hit yourself when you fell.
Arago: Don’t get so close to me!

Page 6:
Rio: You look like you’re having a lot of fun, Arago.
Coco: Oh Rio-san, hello again!
Arago: Don’t be stupid, how is this fun!!
Coco: Senpai, you mean you don’t like being around me!?
Arago: Ah, no that’s not what I…
Rio that file on Patchman…
I told you to stay out of anything related to Patchman!
Coco: Senpai…

Page 7:
Rio; Wh, what do you care…
I’m not bothering you so it’s fine!!
Arago: Rio!
Coco: Senpai!
Arago: Hey, wait Rio!
Rio!
*Pant* *Pant* Finally caught up to you…
Damn you're fast, geez……
Hey, just listen to…
Rio: Why is it…
Why is it that lately whenever we see each other, we only end up fighting.

Page 8:
Arago, it looks like you get along with Coco-chan really well though…
Arago: Not really, she’s just my underclassmen…
Rio: I see, she’s Rupert-san’s daughter…
You both have a deep connection thanks to Patchman.
Arago: Huh!?
Rio: Joe-san too…
I’m the only one-
Arago: Hey, what the hell are you talking about!? Quit jumping to conclusions!!
You won’t tell me, even though I…

Page 9:
Even though I’m still in love with Ewan!
Ghari: A…
Eh?
Arago: That’s obvious……
I understand how you feel.
Rio: …I’m sorry Arago……I did it again…
Ghari: Hey master, why don’t you just tell her already.
Tell her that Ewan is alive-

Page 10:
Shut up, just shut the hell up!!!
Ah!
Rio: Why!? Why would you say something like that!?
Arago: He, hey! I wasn’t talking to you…
Rio: Like I would believe that!!
Arago: Rio!!
That light...
It's sad....and lonely....
Ghari: !!
Arago: Vega!! I’ll kill you bastard!
Ghari: Eeeek! But I didn’t do anything…

Page 11:
Rio: I can’t believe him!
I didn’t even get lunch……
Why is he always like that? Why can’t he treat me the same way he treats Coco-chan!
Ah, just keep walking...
Rio: Was I....
Was I wrong?
Is it because I yelled at him…
I just want to avenge Ewan too…
Arago: Just shut the hell up!!
Rio: No! I may have acted badly, but Arago was even worse!
That’s that!

Page 12:
A follow up story on the murder in the prison!
That former teacher who was killed by Patchman?
Joe: A tabloid is a treasure trove of information.
Even in an article filled with 100 lies, you’ll find one truth.
Rio: One please.
Man: 50 pence*. (TL: British coins)
Rio: Even among 100 lies, you’re bound to find one truth...
Lucian: Oh, is that? Could-it-possibly-be?
Rio: ?

Page 13:
Meeting in a place like this!
Could this be fate!?
Found her~~
SFX: *Sniff*
*Sniff*
Good job Hades ♫
Rio: You’re, that guy from the subway yesterday…
Lucian: Are you getting something to eat? Mind if I tag along-
Rio: Quit following me!
Lucian: Oh ♪
You read these things, I didn't expect that-
Rio: Hey! Give that back!!

Page 14:
Lucian: Oh, I heard about this!
That ex-teacher who was offed? Patchman did it!!
Are you working on this case!?
Rio: Like I would tell you.
Hey, hey, how about going on that date with me tonight…
I’ve got a lot of good info about this case.
Rio: You shouldn't tell jokes like that. You’ll be sorry if I have to bring you in for questioning.
Lucian: You don't have to arrest me, I'll cooperate.
Those round eyes of yours, they’re really nice…
And that black hair…
Are you Chinese? Korean?
Rio: I’m half Japanese.
Lucian: Ah Japan!
Sushi, Geisha, Fujiyama!!
Rio: Are you an idiot!?

Page 15:
Lucian: So how about it~~? Just for tonight!
And I’ll tell you about Patchman.
Owowowowow!!
Holy crap, you’re freaking strong!!
I’ll let this slide this time around!
Lucian: Oh really, playing hard to get just makes me more excited.
Alright, then take a look at that, over there.
Rio: You don’t know when to quit!

Page 16:
If I can light up all of those broken lights…
Then you have to go out with me for one night, and I’ll give you all the info I have.
Rio: That’s impossible…
Yeah, yeah, so it’s a deal-let’s shake on it!
I’ve got this mysterious power.
This is nothing for me-♫
Rio: What’s with this guy…
Lucian: 3,
2,
1…

Page 17:
Tadaaaaaaah!
A perfect 100 points!! C’est Cool!
Rio: ………How…
Lucian: You want to know about this right?
Well I’ve got a lot of information on Patchman.
But first, how about we get something to eat?
Rio: Stop pulling me!

Page 18:
What is this!? A mysterious power?
Does this guy really know something about Patchman……
I might find something out if I go with him!
I’ve got some time until we kill the Brionac guy.
Even if I tell her about his majesty, it’ll be fine if I just kill her afterwards.
Ghari: Master, he’s really mad…
I should stay away for a while…
?
It’s that guy…!!
