Jou: Well, I guess that's fine.
It's nothing to worry about, really.........
SFX: JARA JARA
Jou: But I guess the fact that every time I buy something from a vending machine, I always get change back that's more than what I paid...
is pretty weird.
I think I'm gonna quit trying vending machines.
This change is getting pretty heavy.
And my pockets are gonna break.

Jou: Lemme get a closer look at these...
SFX: SLI SLI
Jou: These bills... How're they different from regular 10,000 yen bills?
They feel the same.
And they look exactly the same... They smell the same, too.
SFX: SNFF SNFF SNFF

SFX: GO GO GO GO GO
Jou: Yeah.......... This all started with the 500,000 yen I got from that cash card...
If these were fake bills or had some bad 'mark' on them, they shouldn't have come out a bank ATM.
And that cabaret club owner... He asked me stuff like "Where did you get this money from?" and forced another 50 million on me.
But these aren't fake bills... This is "real" cash... There's nothing off about them...
Page 7:
Jou: There's nothing about this money to make it seem like it's dangerous, right...? But what do I do... about all the 'weight'...?
Depositing 50 million yen into a bank all at once would probably look pretty fishy...

Jou: I didn't notice till now, but these serial numbers... All of the serial numbers on the bills.......
They're not the same, but...
The numbers all have '13' at the end.
All of tem... The end in '13R'...
SFX: FLIP FLIP
Page 14:
Jou: These ones from the 500,000 I got separately from the ATM are the same way. Every last bill ends in '13R'...
Yup, '13'.
They're all the exact same......... But why?
SFX: FLIP FLIP FLIP
Jou: Did 'somebody' purposely stick ones with the same numbers together?!
Huh?!

UUH!
UAA!
D... Dammit.
Ah...... The coin locker was the same as the vending machine...!! But it's not really worth getting upset about.
Only about 10 bills blew away...
Guy: Is this your cash?
SFX: GIGURIH!
Page 18:
Jou: Uh...
SFX: HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA
Guy: Sir, is it?
You were carrying this money, weren't you...?
Jou: W...
Well...
Guys: Excuse meeeee.
This just blew over there.
Here you are.
You dropped this money, here you go.
Here you go.
Page 19:
Guys: Here you go.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Here you go.
Police: Please be carefuly with money you're carrying.
The wind around the train station is particularly strong.
Jou: Ah.
Y... Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Man, Japanese really are good people. Everyone was so nice......
SFX: SAH DOSAAH
Jou: The money that the wind just blew away......
I guess it was more than just 10 bills...? It definitely feels like I got more back.
Yeah, this is seriously weird.
This isn't normal! There's no end to it!
Page 20:
Jou: M... Man this is heavyyy!
All this money...
It was definitely enough to all fit in one bag before, right...? This place aint good... I've gotta go recount it somewhere.
SFX: GUGU GUGU
Jou: Taxi!
Hey, taxi!
Gu: Sorry...
My shift's over for today!
Find another taxi.
Jou: I'm going to Morioh 235.
I've got some bags and I really wanna go straight home.
Guy: I'm going in the other direction......
I'm in Taihakusan, ya seee. My wife's waitin' for me...
Jou: Please.
Page 21:
Jou: I'll pay you in advance, including a tip...
Here's 50,000 in cash.
That's enough, right? Please, drive me!
Guy: 50,000 yen...
SFX: POIH
Jou: A~~~~H [And then there's an arrow. Make the text vertical next to it, I think it's indicating the direction his voice is going.]
Sign: Construction
SFX: PAAAH PAPAAAH
Guy:Sir, I don't think this is gonna work after a~~~~~~ll. [Arrow]
Please get out and look for another taxi, please.
Hagi bridge is under construction so there's no traffic going over it at night... This is the end of the line.
Jou: So what?! Just use another bridge!
Page 22:
Guy: The detour we'd have to take to get to another bridge is pre~~tty far.
I toldja, didn' I? My wife's birthday is tonight.
I reall gotta get home soon.
I'll give you your money back.
SFX: GACHA
Guy: Here ya go, 50,000.
It's yours.
Jou: Hm?!
No... You don't need to give that money back.
Keep it.
Guy: Why?
Jou: Why...?
Uh...
I mean, like, you drove me this far.
So just keep it... I'll get out and find another taxi.
Page 23:
Guy: I can't take it... I can't expect you to pay me when I didn't even get you to your destination.
Here, take it back.
Jou: Hey, heeey,
It's fine! Really! You can have it.
Consider it a tip.
SFX: GYUH
Guy: Quit it.
I said I can't. Take it back!
SFX: GUNN

And they all end in '13'.

I've been looking for you!
Page 34:
Guy: Hm?!
SFX: DO GASHIIIIH!!
Page 35:
Jou: You're the one that did this... It started with you.......... You're a dead man!
Do you know who I am?
Niga: Ah.
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO
Card: Nigatake Zaihei
Guy: You......? Thank you...
Aah... Seriously, thank you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you......
You finally "destroyed" the Milagro Man's money, right?
That's why you came here?
I knew you'd come... What did you do, did you burn the bills?
Jou: What?!
Page 36:
Niga; Ooh......
I see, looks like you did burn them.
Listen closely. This whole thing isn't my doing. The 'curse' was passed to me, too.
It's the 'curse' of the Milagro Man... When the money's completely destroyed, it fully passes.
Jou: You bastaaard! You're dead!!
Niga: You really should listen to me... You're in a pretty messed up situation, right? This is for your sake.
Really, I'll tell you 'the whole story'.
Two years ago-- I went to Germany to see a concert---...
I went to "Hamburg" for a trip. The singer's name doesn't matter.
SFX: GO GOGOGOGOGO
Niga: I could've just gone back to my hotel by train, but I didn't have any bills to pay for the taxi,
so... on impulse
I swiped a bill from the tin can of a homeless man that was at the concert hall's exit.
Page 37:
Niga: That was "one of the Milagro Man's bills".
'13'
It was a real bill, but the serial number ended in the number '13'.
SFX: GOGO GO GO
Niga: That's how I got into this.
That's the Milagro Man's 'rule'.
When you use it... it increases and comes back to you.
It feels pretty good, right...? Your money increases little be little.
But they always end in the number '13'.
Eventually I realized I couldn't give money to people, exchange money, or throw money away. My money wasn't going down at all.
I finally started putting the bills in the shredder, but there was no way of getting rid of it besides returning it back to the original homeless man. ["returning it back to the original homeless man" in italics.]
Page 38:
Guy: Then it'll be completely over... Then the 'curse' will be completely passed.
Otherwise, you're rich but you can't buy anything ever again.
That homeless man was just pretending to be homeless.
He was waiting for somebody like me to ake the 'curse' from him.
I was purposefully waiting for the king of guy
that would guess the password was an idol's name and birthday...
and try to use my cash card.
Card: Nigatake Zaiei
Jou: Y... You bastaaard!
I knew it, you set me uuuup!
Guy: Like I said,
it's the 'rule of the Milagro Man's curse'!
SFX: GUAA
Page 39:
Niga: I've just been waiting for you to 'destroy' the bills.
It's been 2 years.
Two years I've been waiting for someone like you to finally appear.
Nobody says anything about the bills, but they know... Even the police know.
Politicians know, too... People in the underworld, especially bodyguards know... They won't even steal those bills.
You don't wanna go trying to get them to steal it, you could get yourself killed.
Page 40:
Niga: Anyhow, the origial source of all this was an arms dcealer calle the "Milagro Man", apparently.
That's how the urban legend goes, anyway.
I don't know the merchant's name, country, or when he lived, but apparently he made and sold these incredible weapons and became rich from the wars all over the world.
And his descendants took over his work.
But at some point in time-- The dealer lost a really prolonged lawsuit and ended up having to pay 50 billion dollars in reparations.
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO
Page 41:
Niga: That dealer's spirit was already broken.
Then he killed his family and flung themself into a fire, killing himself.
But the 'curse' still remained... Next to the burnt corpse, there was a single scorched bill...
SFX: GO GO GO
Niga: That was the 'Milagro Man's' first bill.
The 'curse' made it so no matter what country you fled to, te bill would change form and follow you no matter what you did.
SFX: GO GO GO
Niga: It would migrate and show up again.
Once you'd taken one it once.......
Your only choice is to pass the bill on to 'someone' else.
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Page 42:
Niga: It was 2 years before you showed up. Until yesterday, this room of mine was filled to the brim with bills.
Anything enjoyable disappeared from my life.
Thanks to you, I was able to buy "Nanami Rena"-chan's oster. And that was the first time I was able to buy something in a long, long time. It was incredible.
I'll give you one more piece of advice.
Your only choice is to pass bills off to someone else and get them to 'destroy them'.
Your mind starts to break down faster than you might expect.
You absolutely cannot make the Milagro Man's 'curse' disappear.
SFX: GO GOGO GO
Page 43:
Niga: Until then... You've gotta buy 'food' if you want to survive, right?
So every time you 'eat', your money will increase. Eventually you'll lose your appetite.
Be careful about water bills, light and heat bills, and cell hpone bills...... Money could start building up without you realizing it......
Don't buy stuff like shoes and clothing.... The best way is to get people to give you their old clothes.
SFX: GOGO GOGOGO
Niga: That's the kind of life I've been living for 2 years...... A little longer and I would've starved to death.
SFX: MUSHA MUSHA MUSHA MUSHA
SFX: DO DO DO DO
Page 44:
Niga: That's all
I can say to help you.
I'll see you around...
You... know the steps to getting home, right?
SFX: PUSHUH
Niga: And thank you.
Thank you so much for taking it from me.
SFX: GRIN
Niga: I truly...
want to express my heartfelt gratitude.
SFX: BOW GRIN GRIN

Just for a little biiiiiiit!

Jou: Hmph!
These guys, with their shitty unlistenable music that's a total ripoff of other shit anyhow...
How the hell can you call them successful......?
Page 49:
SFX: BUROOOOOO
Jou: But I... Don't even have that kind of talent, do I.......?
Even if it's jus a little...
I have 'something', right?
...I'm the... same age as them...
