Page 5:
Arago: They came out…!!
So it was both that big and small one…!?
Ghari: “Redcaps”!!
Text: They appear in the dead of night in the remains of battlefields and other abandoned locations, where lots of blood has flowed,
They desire to completely dye the hats they wear red with the blood of humans, so they all carry long handled battle axes…
Their hats are their pride, and whenever they begin to fade they kill more humans, to soak their hats in their blood…
And in addition to their brutal nature, they’re the type of fairies that humans can not see, making them especially dangerous.

Page 6:
Redcap: What’s this now…? Humans can’s see us….but those guys can…
Oh, hey little brother…oh, your hat’s startin’ to turn black…..
So’s mine…black…
Let’s make ‘em read again…those two humans…should be enough for us both…
I want it…Let’s take it…

Joe: !!
Arago: You can see them old man!?
You can see their forms!!
Joe: M, my legs,
They won’t move…

SFX:*Geh*
Arago: This is why I told you not follow me!!
Joe: Sorry…
Arago: How can you see them!?
Regular people can’t see those kinds of creatures!!
Joe: I met with the Leprechaun, that shoe shiner…
Arago: Old man Lepre!? Why…!?
Joe: To get some items so that I could help you…
A special oil so that I could see them, and…

Page 8:
Leprechaun: This staff was made from the mysterious evergreen oak…
I suppose you could say…
That this is a “Druid Staff”
Druids were ancient priests who were known as the sages of oak trees.
Today, the word carries the same meaning as “magician.”
Though the ancient Celtic people essentially had no letters,
They developed “symbols” that carried magical power known as the Ogham that they used for fortune telling and rituals…
By drawing the Ogham with this staff,
You can draw out their magic, partial miracles…
To begin with, you must memorize the two foundation letters…
By combining this with the salve that allows you to see that which can’t be seen, you will be able to handle those who dwell in the other world…

Watch out!!
SFX: *Cough*
Joe: Arago!!
Arago: Dumbass, stay back!! They’ll kill you!!
Redcap: Hyoooo
SFX: Grrrrrrr
Arago: This thing’s freaking strong…!!
I can’t move with this axe in my gut…!!

Page 10:
Joe: He’s completely cornered…!!
SFX: *Shiver*
Joe: Resolve…
The resolve…to face the evils that hide in the dark…!!
I’ve been prepared for this for a long time,
Since that day I lost Rupert!!

You don’t have to worry about me.
Just how long has this young man been living this kind of life…
Without any praise……
Without any acceptance...

For the sake of protecting the peace of this city, you’ve continued to fight these horrible things…
All on your own…

Joe: Ha…
Box: Someone like him will do just fine…
No, this city…absolutely needs Arago.
Joe: Of course, I’ll do even better next time.
Arago: That stick is so cool. Let me see it for a while!
Joe: Don’t you already have Brionac?
Arago: Oh come on, just for a while!
Joe: Nope.
