Jou: Norisuke-san.
You've got a pretty snazzy motorcycle over there behind the garage.
I'd, uh...
really like... to learn how to drive one.
Daiya: MU!
Nori: Yea~~~~h, that sounds like it could be inerestiiing.
Daiya: I wanna learn, too! Please, can I, Papaaa?!
Nori: I don't think that'd be a good idea for cutle little old yo~~u.
Jou: I want to ride that cool bike!
Daiya: Ohhhh, no faiiir! I wanna ride that bike!
Nori: Uhuhu. It's quite a bike, ain't it? So... Sure, Jousuke, I'll teach you how to ride it, but...
I've been thinking, what're you gonna do about your family register...?
You need a license to drive a motorcycle! ...And to get a license, you need a 'family registration'.
Jou: Well, actually I don't really care about riding the motorcycle.
...By the way, Norisuke-san, would you take a look at this security camera footage?

Page 6:
Jou: This is this morning before sunrise.
It's an image of the Higashikata house at 4:08 AM
recorded by your 'security cameras'. I helped myself to them.
There!
Right here!
Nori: ?
Jou: Norisuke-san, did you know
about this image?
Nori: Jousuke...?
......What in the world are you doing?
Jou: I told you, I don't care about the motorcycle thing anymore.
This image... could you take a look at it? I'll replay it.

Page 7:
Jou: The east-facing camera...... Towards the 'Wall Eyes'.
It's a image of the stairway to the orchard and forest.
See this dark spot here?
Look.
Nori: Mu!
SFX: NUN

Page 8:
SFX: DON
Nori: H...
Hey! What the hell is that?!! Th-There's somebody staking out the house?!
N... No, that can't be!! ["can't be" in italics]

Page 9:
Nori: No, it can't be...
SFX: GOGO GOGO
Jou: He's searching the property for the 'Rokakaka branch'.
SFX: GO GO
Nori: N... No, it can't be one of their allies.
Jousuke... after that whole incident, you I investigated Damo Tamaki's 'Cleaning Shop', right?! I did research on him, too.
They only sold the Rokakaka to a select few rich people as to not draw attention to themselves and they were the only ones selling them.
They thought of information on the 'Rokakaka' and competition to be dangerous... Because of that, they only had a scant few allies......
SFX: GO GO GO GO
Nori: That team filled every role!
I find it difficult to believe Damo Tamaki had other "allies"!
Damo Tamaki was the boss! Since he was the last one left...... he came to my house only because he was cornered with no other choice!

Page 10:
Nori: Damo Tamaki was cornered, then he came to this house and failed.
There's no way he has any more 'allies' or anyone 'above him'!
Jou: Norisuke-san... that isn't the right way to 'think about this'. ["right way" in italics]
They needed to import the 'Rokakaka' by sea.
There will have been customs inspections.
Damo Tamaki's group coudn't have imported them alone.
Also, if they were making 200 million per fruit, then how did they hide all their revenue?
You couldn't put money like that into a cleaning shop's bank account.

Page 11:
Jou: Norisuke-san, maybe you can't see because the picture's so dark?
This isn't a 'Rock Human'.
Get closer and take a good look. I'll up the brightness for you.

Page 12:
SFX: BAN
Nori: H-Hey!
A-
Are you messing with me or something?!
WHat the hell... is this...?!
Jousuke, is this some kind of joke?!
Jou: It's 'Joubin-san'.
Let me tell you what I 'think' about this!...
It's really hard for me to say, but... I feel like I had to tell you my thoughts. That's why I showed you this image.

Page 13:
Jou: Joubin-san knows about the 'graft' of the 'Rokakaka' branch...
He's looking for that 'branch' hidden in the forest.
The route the 'Rokakakas' were imported by was via shipments to the Higashikata Fruit Parlor.
'Joubin-san' was 'Damo Tamaki's' ally.
Nori: What did you say?!!
Jou: Not like 'enemies' or 'allies', but rather "business partners".
Joubin-san participated in the buying and selling of the 'Rokakaka'.
There's proof in the event data recorder of his lamborgini, as well. I think it's likely that his job is to launder their revenue. And your fruit parlor has been 'helping' import the 'Rokakaka' into this country.

Page 14:
SFX: GO GO GO
Noir: Hey, Jousuke~~~~...
This is just... a picture of my eldes son in my garden in the early morning...
touching the branches of my house's trees. Nothing else......
I dunno how you managed to jump to wild conclusions like that......!
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO
SFX: GO GO GO
Jou: There is still a 'branch' somewhere in this house's orchard!
The 'wall eyes' caused the ground to move... so now we can't tell the 'tree with the grafted branches' from the 'regular trees'.
Yagiyama Yotsuyu and Damo Tamaki were looking for that 'branch' for a long time now...
It's also possible the 'branch' wilted.

Page 15:
Jou: But I can feel that the 'branch' is still alive.
I need its special 'equivalent exchange' ability.
If it is alive, I should be able to get it to grow another 'Rokakaka'.
SFX: GO GO GO GO GO
Jou: No matter what it takes... I need to get one for Holly-san so I can perform another "equivalent exchange" like the one that happened to my body.
I'm going to find that 'branch'!

Page 16:
Jou: I'm fine with looking for it by 'myself'.
But I won't allow anyone to get in my way.
I won't hand that 'branch' over to anyone, no matter who it is.
Nori: Uu......
Uh.........
Jou: Norisuke-san, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I owe you my life and you've been a good person as the head of this household... You've been respectful of me.
That's why I wanted to tell you this now.
Nori: U...
SFX: HAA HAA HAA

Page 17-18:
Nori: Wait!
No one has found the 'branch' in months.
Are you saying you can find 'it', Jousuke?
Look!
This is a picture of a variety of grapes called "Ruby Romans". This fall, my Higashikata Fruit Parlor is giving them the name "Versailles".
Believe it or not, they have a price of 660,000 per bunch.
These're 'pickled plumbs' named 'Jirou' which cose 20,000 en for just one plumb.
You're limited to 15 containers with 8 in them each.
Every May when we put them on sale, they get sold out immediately.
That's because they're all special fruits.
'Flavor', 'scent', 'size', 'moisture content', 'sense of happines you get from it'...
These fruits are symbols of 'growth an victory'.
There's a person that can cultivate these fruits.

Page 19:
Nori: "That person" is an industry secret that only I, the 4th generation head of the household, know of.
He's in a certain place...
I haven't said anything about him to the other employeed of the company or to my future successor, "Joubin"... You can trust him.
Go meet this person.
He's a "plant appraiser" and he has the ability to tell apart the "grafted branch" from the ordinary ones.
SFX: SUH
Nori: If it's somewhere in the 'Wall Eyes' forest......
he'll find that 'branch' for you.
There's nobody out there like him!

Page 20:
Jou: Do not let 'Joubin' find out about this.
Nori: I still have some misgivings about my eldest son's actions, but......
That 'branch' definitely belongs to you, Jousuke. ["belongs to you" in italics]
SFX: GYUH!
Nori: You need the 'right path'.......
for the "equivalent exchange".

Page 21:
SFX: YURUA...

Page 22:
SFX: !! TURRRN
Nori: HEEEEY! What're you doing in my gardeeeeen?!!!

Page 23:
Ka: Hey, you know...... I'm free~~~~ now.
Please don't make me repeat myse~~~~lf. Half this house is mine!......
I don't know when I can get any asse~~~ts, and I want to see my kids.
Nori: Uhh... You don't look like you're here to see the kids right now.
And that's my KRUG you're drinking.
SFX: GLANCE

Page 24:
Nori: Listen here... I went easy on you before because we were in front of the kids,
but I'm not giving you a damn thing.
Try asking yourself honestly about what you did. Even if your sentence is over,
you have no right to any of that!
Now get out of my sight!
Kaa: ............
Hello?
Right now there's......
something I'm a bit concerned about.

Page 25:
Kaa: It's your father......
he seems to be
'planning' somethi~~~~ng.
Though I don't know 'what it is' yet.
Ever since "Norisuke" was young......
he would pull and fiddle with the stubble on his chin......
whenever he was lying. ["he was lying" in italics]
Though I don't think he realizes it himself.
I know that Norisuke is secretly starting some plan.
Also... that freeloader, 'Jousuke', you... were interested in him, weren't you?
That 'Jousuke' boy is walking around with a 'cell phone' right now.
A freeloader suddenly started carrying a 'cell phone'.
You can bet your father gave that to him.
Right?

Page 26:
Bin: 'Dad' and
'Jousuke'?......
'What' could they be up to?
Kaa: They're meeting 'someone', I'd sa~~~~~y.
That's what cell phones are for, after all.
Bin: ...................
Thank you.......
......Mom.

All of it.
SFX: ZUN ZUI
Bin: Also......
I know this has nothing to do with someone like you who's enjoying their life right now, but......
I have a "favor" to ask.
SFX: BORI BORIH BORIH

Page 35-36:
Bin: The truth is, 'Damo Tamaki and the others' are no longer in this world...
That includes 'Yotsuyu'... 'the twins'... and 'Aishou'.
They've been wiped out. They're... all dead...
Looks like they couldn't live as long as you...
SFX: RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT
Bin: So, the favor I want to ask is...
SFX: BAAAAAH

A 'letter'? ...Who's it from?
Kid: Uh

I was just told... all I had to do was give it to you.
By a man...
......He's around the corner of that street... That guy... gave me a 'reward'!
Okay...

Jou: That's no letter!!
The "shape of the shadow" inside it......!! That 'silhouette'!
It's not safe to open that thing!
There's something small and hard in there...! And there's a stain!
SFX: DO
Jou: 'Somebody' that
knows me?
