K: Aaaaaaaa
K: aaahhhhhhh!!
K: Ahhhhhhhhh!!
?: Shut up already...

02)
K: Wh...who are you?
Chapter 5 - A Run Over Corpse

03)
?: Geez...
K: Who are you...?
?: I'm sick of this...you seriously don't remember?
?: You were drinking about my place, right?
K: Drinking...?
K: Ah...the yakitori restaurant...
?: All of a sudden you got into a big fight,
?: and you got really out of control.
K: Out of control...?
K: I...?
?: What do you call this...?
?: A karate chop?
?: One hit, and BAM!

04)
K: Karate...?
K: Me...?
?: After that you grabbed one of my knives,
?: and went chop-chop!
?: This is a real mess...especially since I'm doing business with stolen goods here.
?: The day a murder happens in your shop, that's the end of it.
?: It was a real pain, you know, dragging the bodies here...one dead, and the other drunk off his ass...
K: Drunk...?
K: Me...?

05)
K: I...
?: Ah, sorry to call you all the way out here.

06)
?: Oh my...this is a real shame.
?: You really did it this time.
K: Wh...who are you?
?: Kuraya from East Asian Industries.
K: East Asian Industries...?
Y: You'd better answer honestly here, got it? The Americans can find out all about you by checking with GHQ.
K: I-I am Kevin Yamagata...but I'm not with the American army!!
Y: You're wearing their uniform, aren't you?

07)
K: No, that's not it!!
K: I'm a comics artist who came here from America searching for a bat character...
Y: Hmph.
Y: Whatever the case, you killed a fellow American soldier...this isn't an easy thing to get out of.
K: Uu...
K: There's no choice!
K: This is a crime I committed...
K: I'll just have to turn myself into the Military Police...
Y: MP...?

08)
Y: If the Americans find out about this, that entire town block will be completely pulled up.
?: B...but...
?: What'll we do...!?
Y: Think everything will end nicely if you take all the responsibility for yourself?
?: This guy isn't to blame, though! I saw everything.
?: The other guy was threatening him, and he probably just lost his temper!

09)
?: So he's not to...
Y: Whatever the case, he still killed someone.
Y: Sins aren't something you can erase whenever you feel like it.
Y: But if you shut that sin up in your heart...
Y: there is a way to atone for it.
Y: What'll it be?
K: What'll it be...?
Y: I talked to the driver.
K: D...driver...?

10)
Y: Well, whatever.
Y: Get this out of here.
K: Wa...wait a m...minute!
K: Wh...what are you trying to do?
Y: You're taking this body out of here!
K: eh...?
Y: This...
Y: was a traffic accident...

11)
sfx: Hah x11
?: Keep a firm grip on it!
K: Ah...ahhhh...but...
K: It's so...heavy...!!
?: Pathetic!! Just who do you think I'm doing all this work for, anyway?!
K: Uwahhhh!!

12)
sfx: hah
?: Aww, come on! I guess we have no choice...
?: The stretcher and this guy combined is just too heavy for you!
?: We'll bring him up just like this. Gimme a hand!
K: Eh...
?: Hurry it up!!
K: Uu...
?: Move it!!
?: We're almost there!!

13)
sfx: dosah
sfx: hah x4
?: There we go...!!
?: Let's get out of here!!
?: If someone sees us, we're cooked!!
K: Ah...okay.
sfx: zah
K: Ah...
?: What?
K: That ancient text...

14)
?: Huh?
K: The ancient text with the bat in it...
K: What happened to it...?
?: How should I know? Let's go!
K: Ah...okay.
sfx: gatan x4

15)
sfx: gatan x4
G: Hey there, brother!
G: Wanna play?
G: We'll make it nice and cheap for you! Come on, let's play a little...
K: Gyaah!

16)
G: Hmph! Acting all high and mighty because you're with the Americans!!
G: You're a terrible drunk, you know!
K: Uu...
K: Oooeehhhhh!
sfx: yoroh
sfx: hah x3

17)
K: "Ya can't steal other people's stuff."
K: Daddy...
K: I...
K: stole the one thing you should absolutely never steal from another...
K: Uahh...
K: Uaaaahhhh...
G: Hey, soldier!
K: Uwahh...
K: Uaahh...

18)
G: Are you alright. Mr. Soldier?
K: I'm not a soldier!
K: Hic!
K: Hic!
G: But you're wearing a uniform!
K: I'm a comic artist!!
G: Oh my.
K: Comic artists give courage to children!!
K: They're teachers of justice!!

19)
G: How wonderful!
K: But I...
K: don't have the right to draw comics...
K: I don't have the right to life...
G: That's no good.
G: No matter what kind of reason you may think you have...
G: You can't go and die.

20)
G: The war ended and we survived.
G: You can't go and die.
G: Everyday is so hard for us that it makes us feel like dying,
G: but we go on living.
G: Come with me, Mr. Soldier.
K: Eh?
G: C'mon, just stand up.
K: N...no...

21)
G: C'mon, this way.
G: When we can't take it anymore, we come here,
G: and pray to this god. If we do that, we somehow manage to gather the strength to keep living.
K: God...?

22)
K: Is...
K: Is this...
K: what I saw...!?
