Wahhhhhh!! I thought you wouldn’t come!!
Arago: Just calm down already…
Hey, Beggar* are these guys… (TN: See translator page)
Galley: I knew it, gremlins!!
Box: Starting in the 20th century, stories about Gremlins began circulating among the Royal Air Force that they believed to be true.
Back then, Gremlins were blamed for the frequent airplane accidents whose causes couldn’t be determined, they supposedly even gathered a number of eyewitness testimonies.
Arago: Why the hell couldn’t I sense these guys before!?
Galley: Fairies are experts at hiding themselves!! They could have been all around us and we would have never known!!
Chris: Ahh, look out!!
Arago: Woah!!
What am I supposed to do about this many!!?

Arago: You don’t have to be afraid anymore Chris…
It looks like these guys just wanted your candy…
Hey, let go.
I don’t have any more.
SFX: Coruru
Chris: Thank you for the candy!
I get it…they’re like me…
They’re lonely…

Page 13:
Derec: Dammit…it’s hopeless the way things are now…
One way or another, the company is…
SFX: *Knock*
*Knock*
Chris: Dad, are you busy…?
Derec: Ah, I’m sorry Chris, can this wait until later…
Chris: You’re really working hard, huh?
Have one of these.
Derec: ?
Chris…
SFX: *Munch*
This candy…
Box: From the very beginning, Gremlins have been fairies who loved and excelled at working with tools and machines. It’s been said that they would assist humans by leaving them hints for inventions.
However, in time humans began to forget to honor and offer gratitude to them, and it’s said that they began to play tricks on people.

Page 14:
SFX: *Munch*
Derec: That’s right…I’ve been so busy lately,
That I’ve forgotten some important things.
A lot of important things…
From now on,
Let’s both do our best.
Box: In one part of the western world, it became a tradition to leave behind one piece of candy upon delivering parts for airplanes.
SFX: *Place*
It was to show gratitude to the gremlins. But also, “because they did not want any pranks pulled on them,” it was meant as an offering.

Page 15:
Arago: I guess that’s that.
More importantly…Hey, Beggar! Do something about him, he keeps following us.
Galley: Can’t we keep him master?
Arago: He’s been messing with my bike without permission… for crying out loud.
Galley: Bu…but doesn’t he make a cute addition to the group?
Anyway, I was really surprised when you said “I’ll blow all of you gremlins away”…
You must really be getting used to Brionac master!
You used to hate it, calling it a “cursed power” all the time! I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying yourself lately!!
Arago: Eh?
Galley: Lifting a train, beating the werewolf, soon even Patchman won’t stand a chance against you!!
Huh?
Master?

Page 16:
Arago: I’ve…been enjoying this!?
SFX: *Twitch*
Galley: Ah, Wait!!
Arago: Hey!
Where the heck are you going, Beggar?
Let’s head back.
Galley: Ahhhh….
Ahhhhhh…..

Page 17:
Arago: Wh…what is this…
Are they…
All dead…!?
SFX: *Crumble*

Who the hell could do something like this…!!
Black Horseman: Farewell for now, holder of Brionac…
Look forward to the day you face the black horseman…
Side Text: His arch-enemies, Patchman’s underling. One of the four horseman has revealed himself!!! Is he truly so heartless!!?
