1)
1: creak...

Chapter 37 - The Decision at 20:10

2)
1: There should be a Japanese comics artist living in this town...
2: Oh yeah? I ain't never seen no Japs 'round here.

3)
1: Is that hotel over there the only one you have here?
2: Yup.
3: Should be almost full, though.
4: I wouldn't stay here too long, if I were you...
5: Damn straight! Guahahah!!
6: I see...

4)
1: I'll be back soon.
2: Don't bother! Guahahah!!

Chapter 37 - The Decision at 20:10

5)
1: Draw it!
2: Draw the continuation.
3: No...
4: I know you can do it.
5: And I'm saying no!
6: Don't run away from this. What will Oswald do next?
7: I don't know.

6)
1: You've already seen in your head what's going to happen to Oswald, right?!
2: How could I do something like that?!
3: Besides, no matter how many times I draw Oswald, I can't get his character down!!
4: That's because you aren't facing the bat properly!!
5: Leave me alone!!
6: This will turn out just like the Shimoyama Case.

7)
1: The incident where the leader of Japan's railroads died a strange death...but that wasn't all there was to it.
2: Because of that case, the railroad unions were eradicated,
3: and a countless number of unemployed laborers flooded the streets!!
4: And then, as if it had all been scheduled, the Korean War broke out, and the unemployed flocked to the defense industry...
5: As a result, what happened to Japan?!
6: It became utterly dependent on America.

8)
1: That...!!
2: That wasn't my fault...
3: That was Zofuu-sensei's...
4: Yes...
5: I read that comic when I was in Japan.
6: I found a manuscript in the apartment of the prostitutes you were hiding with while I was searching for you.
7: Unfortunately, that manuscript never saw the light of day...
8: Zofuu-sensei drew.
9: Without running away like you are.

9)
1: Now get to your desk and draw!!
2: N...no!!
3: I can't do it! I can't become strong like Zofuu-sensei!
4: It'll be too late once a history-changing event like the Shimoyama Case starts!!
5: Who the hell are you, anyway?!
6: I haven't even the slightest clue who or what you work for!!
7(2b): And that 'Smith' name you gave is most likely a fake!! At least tell me your real name, dammit!!

10)
1: You don't believe anyone.
2: Of course not!!
3: The woman I fell in love with in Japan
4: died because of me!!
5: Of course I don't believe anyone!!
6: But I believed you.
7: I believed that ridiculous story of yours.
8: That a bat appeared and told you the future...an utterly absurd story!!

11)
1: You think you can go on living the rest of your life without believing anyone?
2: Or can you believe me now?
3: Decide.
4: The President might die!!

12)
1: bam
2: Look, there it is...
3: You can see it, can't you?

13)
1: See what...?
2: Him.
3: Ahh...
4: Yeah...
5-6: Ahh...
6: knock knock

14)
1: Some weirdos came.
2: Well, well...

15)
1: This is why "simpleton" prophets are dangerous.
2: Shall we return to the bar and take care of things...?

16)
1: Hold on tight?!
2: Where's the train?!
3: It should pass through the station at 20:10! In a little bit!!

17)
1: The train's speed will drop around this next curve!!
2: And our pursuers?!
3: They haven't noticed yet!!
4: Ahhh!!
5: The train!!
6: Here it comes!!

18)
1-3: claang
4: Let's go! Don't be scared!!
5: Kuh!!
6: Hurry!!
7: Hie...
8: Go!!
9: Hiieee!!

19)
1: Guhahhh!!
2: Nice on, sensei!!
3: Thanks...!!
4: There's no need for that!!
5: In exchange, we'll be awaiting your next exciting comic!!

20)
1-5: cla-clack
6: What did you talk about earlier...?
7: Eh?
8: What did you talk about at your desk?
9-10: cla-clack
11: Ahh...
12: That's how always appears...
13-14: cla-clack
15: You could see him, right?

21)
1: What's the long face for?
2: Yeah.
3: What?
4: Things happened just like I told you they would, eh?
5: Yeah...
6: Now draw.

22)
1: If you draw now...
2: then you might be able to change history.
3-4: cla-clack
