37)
1: Gugigigigigigi...
2: Uuuuunnn...
3: A cocaine addict...
4(2b): Hah hah
5: Two hours have passed...
6: Looks like the danger is gone...

38)
1: How do you feel?
2: Mu...?!
3: This?
4: I already took the bullets out.
5: I won't call the police, so relax.
6: More importantly, do you have some sort of business with my shop?
7: I heard you can buy cocaine here...
8: My...where might you have heard such a thing...?

39)
1: Of course I'm not asking for it for free.
2: How about this...
3: It's pure gold...heheheh...
4: Don't misunderstand.
5: I'm not a drug dealer.
6(2b): It'd be better for you to get hospitalized and go through detox...you could still make it now.
7: I'll give it to you.
8: Eh?

40)
1: As thanks for fixing up my wounds...besides, I just wanted to show my big bro up.
2: Your big bro?
3: He stole that figure from its native place in Mexico. It's a really valuable antique...
4: My bro's most prized treasure...
5: Then why...
6: Ohh...
7: I can't say any more than that...
8(2b): I know. You boys are smuggling in cocaine from Mexico.
9: You're pretty sharp...
10: But...if that's so, then I can't understand why you're a junkie.
11: My brother...
12: made me this way...

41)
1: I was against doing a dangerous job like this at the start.
2: I wanted to wash my hands of it as soon as possible, but my bro wouldn't allow it.
3: Oh...
4: How sad...
5: If you're going to take pity on me, then could you give me something to eat...?
6: Just when I thought I was gonna be alright, my stomach started growling. I'm so hungry I could die...
7: So you'll trust me?
8(2b): You aren't a normal person...and at the least, not the type of woman who'll run away...
9: Fufufu...thank you.
10(2b): Wait a moment, then. I'll go buy something...
11: Come back quickly, please...

42)
1: Huh?!

43)
1: That was truly careless of you, sister...

44)
1(2b): C'mon...you've got to have a lot more visitors than that, right?
2: You should lock the door and close up before you leave.
3: I'd like some coffee too.
4: Make it in front of me.
5: I would be in trouble if you put some poison in there or something...
6: Right, Ms. Pharmacist Lady?
7: I called the police.
8: Liar...
9: I followed you before coming here.

45)
1(2b): I don't know why, but you're really good at taking care of people...my little bro owes you...
2: So you really were brothers...
3: So what?
4: He was a useless coward, with a big body and nothing more.
5: And of all things, he tried to steal from me...
6: He cut our brotherly ties on his own...
7: This is the natural result.
8(2b): Is that trinket really that valuable? Of course...
9: You probably don't know, but this is a Golden Figure from the Aztec empire...
10: I know...

46)
1: It's a statue of a young priest who served the Aztec god who created all of mankind, Quetzacoatl...
2(2b): In order to prevent the death of the sun and the destruction of the universe, the Aztecs offered up the blood and hearts of human beings at the top of the great palace to provide the sun with energy.
3: That statue was created as a symbol that the youth was going to become a sacrifice...

47)
1: The Aztecs' theory of the afterlife stated that only people who were sacrificed would be able to go to Heaven...
2: That's why to them, being chosen as a sacrifice was the highest honor...
3(2b): You sure are erudite, sister...but I didn't come here to study up on history.
4: I just thought it'd be useful later.
5: Alright...and after history class comes health class.
6: Hurry up and take it off.
7(2b): Beautiful women are lucky, you know? They can get out of situations without being killed...

48)
1: You sure know how to strip...
2: I'm impressed.
3: Now get over here...
4: Heheheh...
5: What is a jewel like you doing in a place like this...?
6: Such a waste...
7: Become my woman, and you'll never have to worry about anything again...

51)
1: Uuu...
2(2b): Where am I?! Am I seeing a dream?!

52)
1: Where the hell am I?!
2: You just learned about this place, didn't you...?

53)
1: That's impossible!!
2: Look...this is you.
3: Congratulations...you'll be able to go to Heaven...

54)
1: Stop!
2: What are you doing?!
3: Hohohohoho!
4(2b): Help me! Let me go! I...
5(2b): This is a dream...it has to be a dream...

55)
1(2b): This can't be...
2: Gyaaahhh!
