- What persistant…bastards… - If they find out about that, it can’t be helped then. - Oh wells… - As- / As long as I destroy them, nothing will happen…
002
- A collector? - Yep. A person who pleases himself by gathering and lining up Katanas. - Did he really escape here? - I’m sure about that. - ----And / He disappeared in here. - …He’s really inviting us in, isn’t he? - That’s why I said I’m too scared to come here by myself.
003
- Shall we go then? - It really has the feel of a haunted house challenge…
Chapter 4: Howdy,World
004
- ----And / Who are you? - Ah, so mean. - We met at the previous conference right? - I’m squad 4’s Inuzuka. - Oh right / The one who can’t read the atmosphere. - Seriously? - Oh nevermind, a bad first impression will eventually improve. - ----Well then
005
- Let’s go. - We can only obtain a tiger cub if we enter the tiger’s den…right? - You just said something nice there. The name of my Katana is / “Gokotai*” afterall. (TN: Gokotai direct translates to Five Tiger Retreat lol.) - -----Hachiyo / Togusa. - About the opponent’s Katana, - It’s an unclear image, but I know from the silhouette. - This is “Iwatooshi*”. (TN: Means Rock Melter)
006
- Even since its theft two years ago, its whereabouts has been unknown but… - An evil collector had stolen it / ----Is what I have heard. - Alright alright, it seems like we’re about to meet.../ it.
007
- What a large basement. - Logically speaking, this should be the collection room? - But to invite us here - You’re planning to destroy us?
008
- ---Dammit / Using such small attacks… / How annoying!
009
010
- ----He’s big but fast… - Plus he has the advantage on land. - This basement’s structure is also very confusing. - ----Moreover - What a bad taste in collection rooms here. - I’m sorry, I got lost on the way down--!! - What a perfect time to appear.
011
- But really, there are a lot of Katanas collected here. - Are they all stolen goods? - How about you Togusa? What are your views on such a place… - I don’t have any. - Just because I’m a half Katana, it doesn’t mean that my heart will be shaken at the sight of these displays used for decorations. - Even if they were used for crimes, they won’t think that 「I rather not have an owner」. - So it’s like that… - Ow. - What are you doing? - You’re noisy. - ~~~~In any case / I’m quite knowledgeable about our opponent.
012
- Named “Iwatooshi”, it is a large sized android which uses the 99 small swords in its body as weapons. - Its operator this time, even if he’s not a swordsman, he’s quite familiar with the movements of the machine so…/ Other than the dagger, you can probably expect that as well. - ! / The final weapon right? - Yeah. - Well, Tsurumaru’s characteristics matches up well against Iwatooshi’s final weapon. - Anyway for now, it’s a good fortune that we’re able to chase him thus far. - ----You’re quite knowledgeable about Katanas eh…
013
- Squad 4 - Under our squad leader’s instruction, all of us have the qualifications of a blacksmith’s apprentice. - I see. - (Over his head) Teehee. - …but speaking of which, this guy had been hiding since just now, hadn’t he? - I’ll leave you to deal with the final weapon. - ----That’s means / you can leave the “chase” to me. - ----Yes. - That’s the specialty of my Gokotai.
014
- Wha- /What should I do. - Do- / Do I finish them up here? - No / Mo- More important than that… - At this rate, - Can I escape from them with this?
015
- …That would be / for the best. - I have made the matter worse and - I’m not sure if they will recognize this… - Al-/ Alright.
016
- ----My familiars / Are able to attack with tingly annoying attacks. - Even if the opponents will be affected by only a little bit / At the very least I am able to limit their movements.
017
- For the real body - To be shut down. - ----And after provoking him, I become his opponent… - That’s a really nice tone you’re using there----
018
- You- / You damned bastards - Right on schedule! - Aaaaah
019
- Come here--- - I’ll give you a nice hug. - Di…… - Die!!
020
- Seh!!
021
- ----I - I see! - It’s true that I match up well against him…/ Togusa!
022
- -----Arara. - (In the background) The Victory of Teamwork! - He flew really far… - ----Hmph / Things that have happened can’t be helped. - A planned escape passage eh. - Seems like it. He’s really careful.
023
- Well, he’s quite incapacitated with that level of damage. - ----What? That…
024
- A girl…?
025
- ----Hah - That- / That was the worst. - In- In the end I left without it. - But- / But - First of all, I need to escape from here…
026
- ----Hey there. - Long time no see / Tomomitsu-kun. - What happened - to my daughter?
027
- …No. - Extremely well made, however / This is a Katana…
028
- ...Wait - Wait a minute… - For you to kidnap the daughter of a researcher like me, - And that the Anti-Katana Criminal Division will have discovered her by now…you really are a good-for-nothing.
029
- However, - you still need to pay your debts. - “Aoe” (TN: Pronounced as A-oh-eh.) - ----Kill him.
030
- An hour later, - “Iwatooshi” was discovered in a wrecked condition / And the Anti-Katana Criminal Division judged it as the crime of a Katana and its swordsman. - While on this end------

- The newly established squad 8 will comprised of Tsukiyama Jyuuzou, Hachiyo Seri and - With the addition of「Yatsuka」, you will be in a team of three people. / Note that Yatsuka will have the duty of submitting a report once every week and undergoing tuning twice every month----- - …Don’t call me that.
002
- Don’t - Call me by that thing’s name… - Togusa. - Don’t daydream / The other people will be coming soon. - Squad 6’s squad leader haven’t been here for the conference since two years ago.
003
Chapter 3: Emergence
004
- -------- / Bwachoo - But really, - For Tsuki-chan to catch a cold now of all times. - Why are only the even numbered squads coming? - It’s pretty difficult for all the members to meet at their convenience. - That’s why the even numbered squads and the odd numbered squads each send their decided opinions to their top for the final decision. - By the way, today’s agenda would be the increase in personnel for each squad and establishing of any new squads. - And you too, / It’s about time for you to get to know the other squads better.
005
- That includes Kaede-chan, who you should know quite well. - What we talked about just now might be a bit deep, but don’t you get bored. - ----!! - You’re late—
006
- Why am I the secretary this time? - That’s because you looked like the most free person. - Yo Squad 8. - It’s pointless, it’s hot…Can’t stand it.
007
- ---Oh yes - I heard that old man Tsukiyama got a cold. - …He / Hello. - Togusa. - It’s has been some time since we last drank a month ago. - Pity. If I had known you’ll be coming, I would have dressed up a bit more.
008
- Well, let’s finish the conference quickly, - (words on the door) Conference Room C --- (or isit G? It gets cut off halfway.) - Then we can talk a bit more after that. - It seems that you go out drinking often too. - Squad 4 Leader: Minamoto Kaede. - Name of Katana used: “Shishiou” - At a glance she seems to be very adult-like, but
009
- Inuzuka. - Eh / Ye-Yes!! - You just fell asleep, didn’t you? - I-It’s no problem at all. - Did you just admit to falling asleep? - Eh… - When we return, do rabbit jumps on the shrine’s staircase. - (words above the guy’s head) That’s mean! - She’s surprisingly athletic. - As strict as usual. - Really? - Have you heard the one about the rain and the whip? - (words in bg) That’s right! That’s right!
010
- Well, I dunno anything about the openings in other squads. - But is this really essential? - Squad 6 Leader: “Shikoku Shirou” / Name of Katana used: “Kiku Ichimonji” - His skills are the real deal / But I also know that when he’s on standby, he chases the late night anime characters. - (on phone screen) Dotero, a hunter’s pipe - …Whatever.
011
- Unnecessary chatter will stop here. - Let’s finish this conference quickly. - My grandma is… - You’re coming up with reason to leave quickly again? - Squad 2 Leader: Hiyama Shinobu - Really, my grandma’s condition is really deteriorating these days / I want to finish this quickly and buy medicine back. - Name of Katana used: “Kogarasumaru”
012
- …Is he strong? - Don’t be surprised / But as of late, his abilities… - You see, when you forgo your body and fix your soul onto a Katana, there is a limit to how long you can stay in it. - For myself, staying in Tsurumaru for half a day is my limit. / Anymore above that limit in a Katana will cost the soul to corrode. - Hiyama can remain in his Katana for three days. - He’s especially a threat in long term battles. - ----Hey hey
013
- I’m Inuzuka from Squad 4. - Nice to meet you for the first time…or not. - Two years ago, at the conference of the establishing of Squad 8 and your addition to it, - I was there as well / And well, - Wasn’t your name “Yatsuka”? - Did my memory fail me?
014
- Nope. - It wasn’t my name. - After Sis and Oya-san thought it over, they gave me my name of Togusa. - Are you bothered by it? - I see… - I’ll call you Togusa as well then. - Inuzuka, for starting a private conversation, I’m adding more rabbit jumps.
015
- Currently, above Tsutsui Building and escaping southwards through the sky - Heh heh / Yahoooo----!! - After attacking Akabori Bank… / It’s a two person team of Katanas! - This is so cool, Big Bro. - You feel refreshed eh Lil Bro.
017
- Alright, we’re done with the test drive of the Katana / now let’s go! - This is so cool, Big Bro!! - -----What are your opinions, Hachiyo? - With the cost of establishing a new squad, it’ll be impossible. / It’ll be safer to just increase the personnel no? - But we have no plans of having a new office to accommodate the new personnel. - What do you think, Togusa? - (on Inuzuka’s shoulder) I’m relieved she didn’t call me.
018
- Even if we want to increase the personnel, it will take time to train them right? - If we just want people with fighting ability, I think it will be fine to hire swordsman who have made names for themselves. - I wonder. - Since we are worried about the lack of funds, then we might not be able to fully fulfill the conditions that the people we scout may set. - Inuzuka-kun, write down all of the opinions so far. - I’ve just been contacted.
019
- There are two katanas who have just attacked a bank. - It seems that they have escaped near here. - Luckily there are people here immediately available to counter them. - And they have just requested for a sortie. - …Me right? - ----And - Me. - I said it, no? There are two katanas there.
020
- Hm? Why do you look so surprised? - Eh…but…eh? - Aah, there are such situations as well. - That’s why I ride the Katana to be ready for any missions they give me. - ----Let’s go.
021
- Like always, a person we don’t know the face of. - I have never met him before either. - I saw him before though------- - Eh? - ----Old man Tsukiyama - Caught a cold you say? - If it carries on, there’s a good herbal shop I know of / Baa-chan also visits it.
022
- If you have time, visit it, Togusa-kun. - Th…/ Thank you very much. - ------Hn— - It seems that we right on schedule.
023
- They’re coming. - Flying into the fire. - ----Hn. - Big Bro, what should we do? - Mmm?
024
- -----Fu - Don’t care about them Lil Bro. - I’ll take the right / Togusa-kun, take the left. - ----Ok. - Destroy them, yahooooo! - This is so cool, Big Broooooo
025
- ---Wrong. - The one who will be destroyed is you.
026
- ……Hah? - ……Eh - Ow!!!! - Just now, what did you… - Togusa-kun / The enemy. In front of you.
027
- ------Ah. - ---He / It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, he has grown quite a bit.
028
- ----Eh? - That’s right, that’s right. - Ehh? - What’s the matter Inuzuka? That disbelieving reaction. - No, I thought the exact opposite. It’s true that he gives me a different impression now but, - I felt that he has grown weaker. - When I first saw him, I felt quite intimidated by him…
029
- …Haa / So you’re that type? - You can’t measure someone’s growth by only his skills. - The him from two years again truly gave off a cold feeling / Just calling him Yatsuka would cause him to go on a rampage, that was how ferocious he was. - I also felt like I had to be extremely cautious around him. - ----He changed alright. - I feel like I can get used to the Togusa right now.
030
- ---Moreover
031
- He did grow - As a human.
032
- You showing a really nice face there / Sis. - Hn. - Well. - He’s still a little brother I need to look after.
033
- Suspicious-looking… - I wonder if it’s really alright. - Please give me the usual. - Sure sure. - Thanks. - Shinobu-chan,
034
- Give my greetings to your grandmother. - Yep. - It can’t be… - What an honest person, - Togusa-kun. (TN: Ehhh???)

Chapter 2: Problems and Solutions
- Automaton Case / Research of a unit that does not require a human’s operation 「Autonomous Katanas」= 「Automaton」 had progressed. - However, with the escape of experiment #2 and the trail of destruction in its wake, any further research concerning Automatons were prohibited. - ---------Once again
002
- This case brings up questions on the dangers of Katanas, - What? What? Admiring porn sites? - (Background: ) Ehh~ I’m just joking. - Sis. - For a half human half Katana like me, it is a very huge blow to me. - I believe that is a pretty valid reason.
003
- What? - Just because of that. - As you can see, the tension’s pretty low. - Ah, so that’s… - -----Aah? - That Takemoto brat said some nonsense again?
004
- ------Thanks for the hard work. - There’s no abnormalities.「Inspection」’s over. - ……Thank you. - Phew… - Ah.
005
- Investigator Takemoto. - Cheh - It’s rare to meet at the hospital. - Takemoto-san, having your regular checkup? - I’m different from someone like you who requires maintenance. - Visiting only. - The gun equipped Katana that your damn division allowed to escape injured one of my subordinates two days ago.
006
- Ah somewhat…I’m sorry. - Ah / Don’t get all upset there. - A half Katana like you can’t possibly understand. - The feeling of a superior whose men got injured / Does your heart hurt? Even if you fail you have nothing to get over, so a monster like you won’t understand.
007
- I wasn’t in charge… - Ah? - You said something? - You’re that - bothered about me? - I hate you. / A Katana with self-awareness only brings about nothing but harm. - The Automaton case has sufficiently proven that / But why is a half Katana like you still not destroyed? - Hey. - Why the hell are you still here?
008
- For the next 30 minutes, the young boy who couldn’t take the sarcasm has once again became an adult… - ---I see / I get the gist of it. - This is my room though. - ----Sigh - He’s still a kid after all. - Togusa.
009
- What the--!! - ----Wha…
010
- What the heck are you doing all of a sudden! - Infusing fighting spirit!! / A man shouldn’t be moping about… Your sister is sad!! - Uh, this is my room… - Oh well… - Takemoto/ Although he’s an excellent investigator. - He is the type of man who is driven with the hatred of Katanas. - His hate is not limited to only you Togusa. - He hates all Katanas on the whole / There was something that happened in his past.
011
- ------Damn that brat. - Although he’s a monster, he displayed such a human reaction---- - Although he’s a monster… Sfx: brii brii brii (phone ringing) - It’s me. - Investigator Takemoto, there’s a sighting. - Hah? - What are you saying?
012
- It’s him!! The gun equipped Katana! - Not good… - -----So it’s you / The dog which had been following my scent.
013
- Although I can’t give out detailed information, / Takemoto is also a victim of the Automaton case. -「----Hey」 - Ever since that case, he has carried much hatred towards the existence of Katanas. - 「Why the hell are you still here? Monster----」
014
- ----Hm - Ah - …It’s a sortie. - Is it the guy that Takemoto-san was talking about? - Maybe. - By the way, it was requested with a 5% increase. - The show I wanted to watch is almost starting… - There’s not enough motivation. Togusa, a word of command. - Here we go. - ……
015
- ------ 0 points. - I won’t get motivated with that. - Idiot-chan. - Togusa. - Although I’m not exactly sure what that Takemoto said to you 30 minutes ago, - But you don’t have to take any of his disrespect to heart. - He’s wrong about one thing.
016
- You are not the perpetrator of the Automaton case nor are you a Katana criminal. - You are you. - Am I wrong? - He didn’t get that wrong! - My feet’s numb…
017
018
- ----Fight!! - All or nothing!! - The opponent uses guns - So Togusa / Let’s go with Plan Gamma! (TN: Use the Gamma symbol for gamma) - ----Roger. - It’s my first time hearing of such a plan…
019
- (Top bubble) Well I’ll admit it. - (middle bubble on the right) Where are you? Little doggy~ - I like squashing ants and turning butterflies into caterpillars, (TN: I think he means he like pulling wings off butterflies so they turn back into caterpillars T.T So mean.) - But this is the most fun activity of all. - …For someone like you, as long as I’m not seen I’m fine.
020
- Greedy / Arrogant / Wallowing in his own power. - People who uses Katanas are all monsters, beasts in human forms. - My belief isn’t wrong. - This just further confirms it. - A human’s life… - Don’t compare it to one of a bug!!
021
- Pointless.
022
- You’re not such a bad thing. - But your sorrow - Is not enough…/ !!
023
- Kuh
024
- Saved by the bell / is what I think I should say.
025
- !? / The Anti-Katana Criminal Division… - You guys… - Takemoto-san. - Your job is to investigate Katanas. - Not exterminating or being a decoy, so your duties have been fulfilled. - From here on…
026
- From here onwards, - It is within the scope of us monsters. - You too. - You don’t have to hold back. - ----Come!
027
- You…You don’t have to tell me that!!
028
- -----Then - Then how about this!!!
029
- Ah / Oi! - I’ll leave it to you Sis. - It’s Plan Gamma! (use the gamma symbol here again) - -----Sure.
030
- --Hah!
031
032
- ----Yo. - Mon…monster… - Is that - For you to say?
033
- ----Takemoto-san - You asked me just now - For the reason why I’m still here. - To hunt those who harms with Katanas, - In the end I am unable to do anything else, ------that’s why I will stick to doing this.
034
- The appropriateness of my existence - Can only be proven by continuing these actions. - -----Cheh. - ----- Then follow through with it and show me / Let me judge with my own eyes…
035
- Phew…… - Here. - (words in bg) Chill
036
- Sis, it’s cold. - Stop hesitating. - Ah— - It’s this, it’s gotta be this. The first cup. - A thing created to spread its lovely taste to everyone. - Ah--…So such a thing was created as well.

008 - 009
- The technology to transfer a human soul into other objects----- - The invention of this miraculous technology which allows one to operate something not of one’s body is the main factor for the rise of androids. - Initially, the main functions for these androids were industrial work and medical use. - Over time, a type that was equipped with arms was manufactured specifically for combat use. - And so these 「 Armed Operational Androids 」came to be - ---- And were called “Katana”.
010
- ---Just as/ someone is doing the washing up - Why are you taking out the sake cup and beginning to drink? - Heh? - Please don’t pretend to not understand… - I’ll just say this again, please wash up after yourself. - ----And the heck are you drinking sake in the middle of the afternoon.

(TN: Oya-san is a way of referring to the older man who will be appearing soon.) - Teehee. - It’s not「Teehee」!! - Seriously, I really pity Oya-san. - Sorry sorry.
018
- To cope with the steadily increasing cases of Katana Crimes - We look forward to the improvement of technology. - (Background) Increasing cases of “Katana” crimes. - Are you stupid? / Even if we have Katanas, we don’t have enough experienced swordsmen to operate them. - We don’t have enough blacksmiths to deal with maintenance either. - Speak of the devil, our blacksmith have just returned home.

026
- …Um - Don’t tell me… - Sorry! - I’ve been entrusted with one more case. - ----Seriously?
027
- “Katana”…!! - Oi oi oii. - You bastards are only at this level?

- ----Don’t just talk there!! - If not I won’t be able to warm up even my shoulder. - Shoot him!! - Naïve!
029
- With this, I can’t even demonstrate the full extent of my power. - A criminal who does whatever he please. - Fortunately the tracking device was successfully attached to him. - So we’ll have you takeover from there.
030
- ---Well, that’s what happened. - What’s up with that. - Everyone else isn’t free either eh. - There’s a limit to chasing happiness through crime… - Dammit, everyone doing whatever they like.
031
- Can’t they see Katanas as anything other than weapons? - Togusa… - Tsk!! - Togusa - Your expression is bad.
032
- If there’s something you want to do, then you must put a stop to this violence first. - Don’t say empty words. - So that’s the case huh. That’s right. - As long as you understand, yosh!! - Hey kid.
033
- The vegetable sale, what time does it start? - It starts at 5. - Until then, shall we do some cleaning up? - Yeah.
034
- Please begin battle preparations. - Let’s finish this up quickly and have a huge sukiyaki party. But Sis, please remember to clean up your – - Sha—!! - Roger!
035
- It’s the second battle. - “Tsurumaru”. - Tsuki-chan, isn’t there a smaller version of this transfer device? - Don’t say impossible things. - Go on, it’s time to prepare.
036
- Togusa too. - As expected, he thought that the case would continue on. - That - Can’t be helped. - He’s still much like a kid. - But - That’s his cute point.
037
- Hmph / It’s like you’re his real sister. - That won’t be bad. - Hachiyo, I’ve inserted the key. - We’ll begin the soul transfer. - Sure thing.
038
- Setup. - From Hachiyo Seri - To Armed Operational Android, Meitou* ‘Tsurumaru’. (TN: Meitou is a way of addressing good swords in the past, and it’s used in this context to refer to the Katanas.)
039
- Soul transfer begin. - 3 - 2 - 1……
040
- ---Zero. - Go on Hachiyo.
041
- My body over there. - While I’m inside here, don’t do weird stuff to it. - As if I would!! - Shall we go? - As usual, be prepared to fight to the death.
042 - Ah. - You’re so mean Sis. - What’s wrong all of a sudden? - Cleaning up the sake. - In the end you went without doing it. - Ah, I forgot. - Moreover, are you sure you’re alright after drinking all that sake? - Ah, that. It’s something like water. - Don’t lie!! - What are you doing? - I’ve sent the info from the tracking device to Tsurumaru. - From Squad leader Tsukiyama Jyuusou, Anti-Katana Criminal Division, Squad 8, commence the assault.
043
- Roger.
044
- We’re speaking for specifics on the criminal but - The culprit this time is a Katana named “Koryuu Kagemitsu”. A thing to look out for is his left arm… - The criminal is the creator and the blacksmith’s / apprentice.
045
- Koryuu Kagemitsu and co disappeared. - Eversince then, Kagamitsu had walked the path of darkness, leaving almost no trace. - The apprentice took everything away, - And then killed his master himself. - ---Really, - Not even six.
046
- With this, my free and easy time in the afternoon is completely gone… - Ahahaha!! That we can’t forgive, right? - We have to beat him up. - Use up the 3 gauges that we have collected. - Got it. - …They’re here.
047
- …Um, there’s no one here? - The signal is coming from here though. - In fact, the signal is telling me that the enemy is right in front of us. - Then isn’t this too weird!! / There’s only a pillar in front of us--- - What’s wrong? - ----Eh - The tracking device is…?
048
- ----Ah.
049
- This - Togusa!!
050
- You’re a Katana huh… - Anti-Katana criminal division…That’s some high quality goods you’ve sent me!! - It must be too much of a luxury for me to be your opponent.
051
- ---Shut up! - ----Damn / you!!
052
- Chii - With that stance, - This is
053
- Let’s - See / You / Dodge - This. - Fine with me, fine with me. - Urrp.
054
- ---What / So all this talk about experts were just for show? - They must lack personnel a lot / To have this kind of lousy swordsman----
055
- Along with one human / Too weak. - …You - Why do you wield a Katana? - Why? / Because the Katana is purely a weapon. - This guy here wants blood / To use him for industrial or medical purposes is such a waste / When I use him, I can hear his desire to be used for violence.
056
- That old man couldn’t understand this voice. - An android can save humans? Don’t joke around! / That’s why I - As someone who understands him, decided to release him!! - When I killed the old man, as a weapon, this guy was so wild with happiness!! - ----That’s what he said.
057
- Togusa. - This opponent - Well, simply said, seems to be that type of person. - Can’t be saved eh.
058
- …No way / A human’s body, from a Katana’s… - You shouldn’t be able to endure Kagemitsu’s left punch. - There are many reasons for that. - I’m not in a very good mood right now but, first of all, it’s to do with your way of using the Katana. - Your skill is a far cry from that of a swordsman. - And after that is well / a certain exception.
059
- Summing the reason up in a simpler terms, although I am half a human - My other half is that of a Katana. - So I won’t die from a half-assed attack like that.
060
- I didn’t know…/ I’ve never heard of such a Katana. - -----Togusa. - Exchange. - Sorry. - I really did get drunk after all… - Alright. - I’ll make sure to repay this debt at least three times.
061
- ---And so, that’s what’s going on. - I’ll be the one preparing the last rites for your death. - Shut up!!
062
- Two will be enough.
063
064
- Guh - One is for the sealing of / that left arm. - And--- - The second, is for killing you. - This is the end.
065
- …Damn - Youuu!!
066 - 067
- Well done.
068 - 069
- ---I’ll teach you. - A Katana is not a weapon / The ones who are weapons - Is only your madness. (TN: This is a play on words. Kyouki can mean both weapons and madness so it sounds much more fluent in Japanese.)
070
- Ah—It ended, it ended. - Sis, your voice is too loud… - That’s fine, we need to release all our tension from work. - Helping you with grocery shopping, isn’t that more than enough? - You’ll drink today right? - Well today / I really am feeling quite tired. - So even I’ll be in that mood at times. - Ah—the sunset is beautiful, and there’s good sake to drink. - That’s right. - So you’ve come to understand the beauty of it as well eh.
071
- …They’re late. - And I’ve already finished the preparations… - …Are they taking their time chatting again… - Today is - The first time we had two consecutive cases. - Our workload will probably continue to increase.
072
- But well / For the sake of protecting these peaceful times - I don’t think it can be helped. - ----Agreed!! - You’ve also grown to be quite sentimental eh. - Le-Let’s return home quickly. Or Oya-san will start to get annoyed again. - sfx: Zu zu zu (phone ringing) - Hey, how long are you going to make me wait!! - Yes yes, we’re returning now.
