Chapter 30: Don’t Touch Her

Lucian: So what’s your name?
Rio: Rio…and you?
Lucian: Lucian.
Nice music, huh? This is the best!
Your body just starts moving on its own ♪
Rio: Um, could you move your hand.
SFX: Haaaa
Kya!!
I hate these kinds of places…
………
But I might be able to learn something about Patchman.
I just have to hang in there!

Page 3:
Isn’t this enough, I went on a date with you,
So tell me what you know already.
Lucian: Oh yeah, Patchman huh, Patchman…
Should I really tell youuuuu?
Rio: I knew talking to you was a waste of time!
Lucian: Hey, hold on a sec.
Rio: Let go…
Side Text: In the middle of a fight with Arago, Rio ends up alone with Lucian of the four horsemen…
SFX: *Crackle*
*Spark*
Lucian: Static electricity? Nope, that’s not it…
SFX: *Crackle*

Page 4:
*Ring*
Hahahaha
Lucian: I’m a “slider*,” a so-called electricity person. (TN: A person who causes phenomenon with electricity)
SFX: *Flicker*
*Flicker*
You probably heard about that from those tabloids you love so much.
Electrical appliances always malfunction when I get close to them.
It’s probably because…of all the electricity stored up in my body.
I used to not be able to control this power, I’d completely destroy electric guitars and amps…So I had to give up on my dream of being in a band.
Rio: ………A trick.
Lucian: Hmmmmm..a trick huh…

Page 5:
Hey…can you see this?
SFX: *Crackle*
*Spark*
Rio: See what…?
Lucian: So you can’t. You’ve got regular eyesight.
In a prison full of guards and prisoners,
Not a single person saw Patchman kill that ex-teacher.
How do you think we're able to see things that can't be seen?
These tricks require a “seed.”
I wonder what kind of “seed” Patchman would have to have, to be able to take the legs from that ex-teacher.

Page 6:
SFX: *Turn*
Lucian: Hey, where you going?
I was just getting to the good part.
That noise before scared me, I’m really thirsty.
I’m just going to get something to drink. I’ll be right back.
Radio waves…* (TN: They interfere with cell phones)
SFX: !!
Here we go!

Page 7:
The police made a statement about the burn mark found on his neck but…
Only a few authorized officers know about his legs being removed…
But he knew about that…!? He has to be Patchman’s accomplice…
I can’t handle this on my own anymore…
I have to call in for back up…!!
Ah! Why does that guy’s face have to pop into my head now!?
…….Oh well…

Page 8:
Lucian: Yo.
What’cha doing?
SFX: *Crackle*

Page 9:
Huh? The police?
Were you trying to report to them?
…That’s no good, King will get mad if he finds out I’ve been messing around again…
Rio: My…my body is numb…
I can’t move……!!
This is lame…a seriously negative 0 points.
I wanted to play with you a little more.
Way to ruin a guy’s fun.
Too bad, I really liked you…
SFX: *Pant*
*Pant*

Page 10:
SFX: Oh
Lucian: You really are a stubborn woman.
Don’t worry, this won’t hurt a bit.
You’ll be in the next world before you feel a thing.
Rio: This man…really does know about Patchman…
And I…just let this chance…!!
Lucian: See ya. Adieu.
Rio: Arago……!!

Page 11:
Arago: Don’t touch her.

Page 12:
Don’t you ever touch Rio!!!
Lucian: You……
Ghari: Let go of Miss Riooooo!
Lucian: Woah!! What the hell!?
SFX: *Jump*

Page 13:
Arago: Good job distracting him Vega!
Ghari: No pwobrem mastah!!! (No problem master)
Lucian: Hang on, was that Brionac guy’s woman~~~~?
SFX:*Crack*
I didn’t see that coming.

Page 14:
Arago: Pull yourself together! We need to run Rio!!
Rio: Arago…What are you doing here…
SFX: *Pant*
*Pant*
Arago: “Your post is the back entrance” right?
Rio: Hang on…That man, we can’t let him get away…
He was involved in the Eames case…and he knows something about Patchman…!
Arago: Shut up! Going after him on your own, what the hell were you thinking!?
Rio: ……I’m sorry.
Arago: …….What’s up with you…
Being so complaisant?

Page 15:
Arago: Did we lose him?
Ghari: Good idea blending in with the rest of the human trash…
Arago: Alright Rio, get out of here on the subway!!
Don’t go off on your own, stay in crowded places!!
Rio: Let me stay with you!! We’ve both had the same training!!
Arago: No way, not with your body like that!
Once you get to the station request reinforcements and have them protect you!
If Rio doesn’t get out of here I won’t be able to fight that guitar bastard at full strength!!
Even if he’s only after Brionac, Rio will be in danger if she stays with me…
Rio: I thought so…

Page 16:
You know that man, don’t you Arago?
Arago: I, I don’t know that guy!
Rio: Stop lying! You do that too much!!
Lucian acted like he knew you.
So you know who he is too, right!?
Please Arago!! Let me stay with you!!
*Ringggggg*
Arago: Rio! Get back! The doors are closing!!

Page 17:
Rio: Wh, what are you doing Arago,
Didn’t you want me to run away by myself…
SFX: *Flicker*
*Flicker*

Page 18:
Ghari: This is bad, master!
Masterrr!!
Arago: I know!
This isn’t good, we can’t run away on a subway full of passengers.
Now what do we do?
Lucian: ♪
You won’t get away~~~~
Brionac guyyyyy
Side Text: While trying to save Rio, both end up in the middle of a crisis!! Nowhere to run, no escape…!!
