308)
1: Here, sir!!
2-4: creaaak

309)
1: creak
2: Ahhhh!!

310)
1: Ichirou.
2: Uwaaahhh!! Mother!!
3-4: shiver

311)
1: My mother died three years ago!!
2: Yes, I died three years ago. But I am your mother, Shizuko.
3: How is Tarou doing, Ichirou?
4: Let me see Tarou, who was born the same time I died.
5: Ichirou.
6: Uwaaah! Don't get any closer.

312)
1: bump
2: Ahhh!!
3: Watch out, mother.
4: clang
5: Ichirou.
6: I wanted to see you so much.

313)
1: M-mother...
2: W-where have you been until now?!
3: Why, the land of the dead, of course.
4: The land of the dead?!

314)
1: You liar!!
2: slap
3: The land of the dead does not exist!!
4: All of the revivals of people from the land of the dead were all hoaxes!! And there is no scientific proof of being able to call the dead back to life!!

315)
1: I don't care what the reason is, you are not my mother!!
2: Ehhh?!
3: W-why?!
4: For you don't smell one thing like my mother did!! I remember how she smelled very well!!

316)
1: You are
2: the cells of Grand Master Rose, created by Chicken George!!
3: Ehhhh?!
4: Gehhhhhhhh.

317)
1-4: shloop

318)
1: I-it dissapeared...
2: So when you tell it what it really is, it disappears.
3: It seems that these creatures disappear when you tell them what they really are.
4: Yamakawa!
5: stamp

319)
1-2: stamp
3: Damn youuuuu.
4-6: stamp
7: You idiot!! Why did you let such a thing in here?!
8: Y-yes, sir, I apologize.
9: But you see, I got a direct call from Grand Master Rose. It was about a trial product. I was told to show it to you right away.

320)
1: Just like I told you at first, the immortality experiments ended in failure. But Grand Master Rose continued to be obsessed over immortality, and ordered Dr. Chicken George to keep attempting to complete it.
2: Then, Grand Master Rose's capital became all used up on the experiments, which made a new source of income a necessity!! And so, using the data that was collected during the immortality experiments, Grand Master Rose found a method of DNA splicing that allowed blank slate humans to be created!!
3: There is no sort of consciousness imprinted in these humans at all, so it's possible to sell them as commodities. If they become a hit, then Grand Master Rose will become rich once more!!

321)
1: In other words, human clones are going to be sold!!
2: Don't you remember a similar thing happening before?!
3: Well, not exactly the same -- but humans were once sold as slaves, weren't they? The human race must have always secretly dreamed of selling other humans as commodities.
4: Please, Prime Minister Misaki!! Pass a human commodities bill!!
5: Since the immortality experiments are growing ever nearer to completion, it's all the more important!!
6: Please, I beg you personally. Please create a bill!
7: No, I'm sure that Grand Master Rose will go through with this, even if no bill is created. Everyone involved is at their wits' end.

322)
1: I also have to make an even more horrifying announcement.
2: The lives of all children under three years...yes, Prime Minister, this includes your son Tarou-kun...
3: will end
4: at age fourteen!!
