Seira: Ancient Hidden Treasures Exhibit?
Guy: Yes, it's being held at the F Hall. // The "Dagger of Yatto" that's on display...

Page 86
Guy: Is a fake! It's not a hidden treasure at all.
Seira: Eh... // What do you mean?
Guy: I actually made that dagger... / It's a complete replica. // I'm actually a sculptor. // And I was asked by somebody to make a replica of Yatto's dagger. // He promised me that he'll just display it at home so I made it! // I didn't think that it'll be displayed as the real article. // If I tell the police then I'll get caught too... / But just thinking that I'm deceiving a lot of people makes me lose sleep at night.
Seira: The Lord will surely you forgive you since you have come and confessed.

Page 87
Guy: Sister...!
Seira: Don't worry. / Surely, God will make a way. // And... / that's the story, Meimi-chan.
Meimi: Leave it to me! I don't know much about ancient relics // but you bet Saint Tail will recover it. // Even if it's a Jomon period / earthenware, earthern object, or earthen figure!
Seira: Meimi-chan, it's a dagger. [aside]Actually.[/aside]
Sfx: Gooo (On fire)

Page 88
Seira: I can somehow understand your situation with Takamiya-san. / Calm down...

Page 92
Owner: As you can see, // there are security cameras in here.

Asuka Jr.: No. // Just put up some guards by the entrance.
Security: Eh? But...
Asuka Jr.: Is it okay if I go inside that?
Outside bubble: It's an imitation, right?
Owner: Eh? Yes...

Page 93
Asuka Jr.: Saint Tail usually appears from above. I can see everything from here. / She'll let her guards down thinking that it's not heavily guarded... // Once she comes inside the pyramid, I'll catch her red-handed! // This set is perfect! // She can't escape from such a small place!
Rina: You're too naive, Asuka Jr.!!
Asuka Jr.: Takamiya!?
Rina: You've got to attack more aggressively.
