W: Strangely enough, praying to this god lets us somehow make it through every new day.
K: H...hey, do you happen to know who drew this?
W: I dunno. It's always been here.
W: Hey, do any of you girls know?
W: What are you going to do if you find out who drew it?
K: I stole it.
W: Stole...?
K: "Billy Bat" is...something I unconsciously took from this picture...

06)
B: So you finally found me.
B: See, it was worth coming to Japan after all, wasn't it?
B: Now you just need to find the artist and get his permission.
B: Ridiculous!
B: Eh?
B: It's just some stinkin' graffiti!
B: Fugetta bout it.
B: What are you saying! Art isn't to be stolen!
B: It happens all the time.
B: You can't go around stealing other peoples' things!!
B: What he did doesn't count as stealing!!
B: Hooo...
B: We'll just say he got run over by a car.

07)
B: Keep quiet.
K: Wahhhh!!
K: Haa (x4)
?: Kevin Yamagata, I presume?
P: There's something we want to talk to you about.
K: Wh...who are you?
S: His name is Captain Finney,
S: And I'm Smith.
S: We'd like you to come with us.

08)
K: So what do you want to ask me...?
K: You aren't with the military police, right?
K: What's going on here? I feel like I'm being questioned here!!
S: Captain Finney is with the Special Investigations Unit...
K: Special Investigations...?
S: And I'm with the CIA.
K: CIA...?
S: We want to ask you about what happened to Charlie Ishizuka.
S: Do you know...where he is?
K: N...no.
S: He's been missing since yesterday.
K: S...something about an accident...
S: Accident?
K: N...nah, I just heard a report of an accident somewhere, that's...
K: all...
S: What are you talking about?
K: Ah...no, nothing...
S: He was absent this morning at a meeting about the National Railroad that President Shimoyama was present at...

09)
S: We know that you left OSS together with him last night.
S: And you were also seen drinking with him at a food cart...
S: We want to know where Charlie went after that.
K: It...it was my fault!!
K: We started drinking together, and then I...!!
B: Keep quiet.
S: It isn't your fault.
K: Eh?
S: You got drunk at the cart and then fell asleep...
S: After that, Charlie was witnessed walking around the area alone.
S: He didn't happen to mention where he was going, did he?

10)
K: N...no, he didn't...
K: Um...could this have anything to do with some sort of crime...?
S: Crime...?
S: This isn't anything like that.
S: It's just...
S: the meeting this morning with President Shimoyama was about the layoff of 8000 railroad workers.
S: It's possible that he may have intentionally been trying to sabotage it.
S: We've also been told that Charlie has a few ideological prejudices.
K: Ideological...prejudices...?
S: I'm currently investigating communists who have snuck into GHQ.
K: A communist...? Charlie?
S: I want your help.
F: Also, where is the text?
F: Where is the ancient text?

11)
S: Ancient text...?
F: The ancient text Charlie was carrying with him.
B: Keep quiet.
K: I...don't know.
K: Anything...

12)
K: Um...
K: That's a paper show, isn't it...?
G: Yup...
K: So you're familiar with the artist around here?
G: Nope.
K: Um...there's a picture of a bat underneath that guardrail over there, right?
K: Do you know who may have drawn that?
G: Yeah, an artist from Kitasenjuu.
K: Ehh?!
G: He used to be a paper show artist too, but he said that this is now the age of comics, so he went off to go be a mangaka.
K: Um...
K: Excuse me...
K: Umm...excuse me...
M: I'm busy.
M: Go away!!
K: Uh...umm...
K: I'm, uh...

13)
K: I copied your work!!
M: Which one?
M: Was the bat you saw black or white?
M: Was it the good one or the bad one?!
