Article 2 -- Grandmother Kiyomi
Roujie: あぁ・・・
*sigh*
Roujie: おサイフ大ピンチ・・・ねぇ、ムヒョ。お昼ゴハンオカズ抜きじゃだめ？
We're going bankrupt
Hey, Muhyo. Can we just have rice for lunch?
Muhyo: アホかオメェ！ふりかけでもいいから買ってこい
How stupid are you?!
I don't mind what you get -- Just get something!
Roujie: わかったから変なモノ食べないで・・・
Ok, ok. Just stop eating that...
Roujie: 仕事が来ないってのは、ユーレイより怖いねぇ・・・
Having no jobs to earn from
is a lot scarier than having to face ghosts...
Kiyomi: あ、あの・・・
Umm,
excuse me...
Roujie: で
G-

Roujie: でぇたああぁぁぁ
Ghooossst!!
Roujie: ほんっ、とーに

Roujie: ごめんなさいっ、田口キヨミさんっ！
sorry,
Ms Taguchi Kiyomi!
Kiyomi: ひょっひょっひょっ。いいんですよぉ。若い人が元気なのはいいことですよ
Heh heh heh. That's okay.
It's a good thing for young people to be so energetic.
Kiyomi: 若い人でよかった・・・
I'm glad to have come across such young people...
Kiyomi: カレーをめしあがってくださいな
Please
have this curry.
Kiyomi: 相談を受けて頂く、ほんのお近づきの印です
I would be taking your time away with my talk,
so this is just a small gift for your kindly services

Text: 魔法律で霊を罰する、茨の如き鋭さを以て
Ghosts are punished by the Magic Laws
with the harshness of a thorn

Muhyo's Magic-Lawyer's Office
Kiyomi: ・・・でもその・・・魔法律というのは初耳でしてねぇ
But you see, I've never heard of "Magic Laws" before...
Roujie: すいません、つい夢中に・・・
（しごと、しごと）
Sorry, I was concentrating so much on eating...
(We've got work to do)
Roujie: で、ではご説明致します。魔法律はいわゆる徐霊の様なもので、年々増加傾向にある霊の犯罪をおさえる為に作られた新設の機関でして
Please let me explain:
Magic Laws are similar to exorcism
It's a relatively new act that was established to stop the annual increase of crimes committed by ghosts.
Roujie: 最高位の「執行人」だけ
Only the highest-ranking "Executor"
Side texts: 魔法律家の順番。
The hierarchy of magic lawyers
Boxes (from top to bottom): 執行人　裁判官　裁判官補佐　一級書記官　二級書記官
Executor
Judge
Assistant Judge
First-class Secretary
Second-class Secretary
Within arrow: エライ
Higher-ranking
Roujie: 魔法律の使用を許される等々制度が確立されています
is allowed to use the Magic Laws. Though new, such a system has already been established.
Roujie: で、当事務所の執行人が、この人なんですが
And the Executor of this office
is this person but...

Muhyo: 肉がねぇ
There's no meat!!
Kiyomi: おほほほ・・・そうなんですよ。お肉は学生の子達でみいんな取っちゃいますから・・・
Heh heh heh. Yes,
I'm afraid the students staying at our place took all of it...
Roujie: 学生・・・？
...Students?
Kiyomi: 実は私学生寮を営んでおりまして・・・御相談というのはその寮で・・・
I am actually the owner of a hostel for students
and in fact, it's this hostel that I would like you to see...
Kiyomi: 幽霊が出る様になってしまって・・・
A ghost
has begun to appear recently...

Page 066
Text (Kiyomi): それはほんの3日前の出来事なのです
--It was only three days ago...
Student: いやぁああぁぁ
Aaaaahhh!!
Text: 私は寝ていてその場は知らないのですが・・・
I was sleeping, so I did not witness the scene...
Students: 大丈夫か？！
Are you ok?!
ひぃぃぃ
Aaahh...
どーした？
What happened?
Text: みんな見たと言うのです
But all of them told me they saw it:
Student: あ・・・あれ・・・！！
Th- that...!!
Text: 大きな一ツ目の
A shadow
Students: うわあぁぁ
Aaaaahhhh!!
きゃあああ
Heeelp!
でたあぁ
Ghost!!
Text: 人影を
With one large eye...
Text: それからそんな事が三日続き
This continued for three days
Student: ゴメン・・・ばあちゃん
I'm sorry, Grandmother Kiyomi...
Text: 全員退寮するといって
All of them said they would leave
Kiyomi: そんな・・・
Y- you're leaving?...
Text: きかなくなってしまって
and I couldn't stop them
Kiyomi: ・・・ウチの寮には・・・亡き夫が作った伝統がありましてね
At our hostel...
there is a little ritual that my deceased husband started...

Page 067
Text: 毎週日曜必ずカレーパーティーをひらくんですよ・・・
Every Sunday, we would always have a curry party.
Mr Taguchi: よし・・・こんなもんだ
Ok... It's done.
Text: みんな貧乏だろうからって、これくらいの事はって
Because our students come from poor families
He wanted to do this for them
Text: これがもう本当に楽しくってねぇ・・・
It was such fun...
Mr Taguchi: おーい、できたぞーっ！！
Kids!! It's done!!
Students: マジッ？！
Really?!
いそげっ
Hurry!
Students: うわーっ！！！
いいにおーいっ！！
Wooooow!!!
It smells sooo nice!!
Student: おいしいぃ
It's delicious!
Student: ・・・う・・・うまいよ・・・！！じーちゃん、ばーちゃん・・・
...I- It's great!!
Mr & Mrs Taguchi...
Student: う、うまっ、うぐっ
I-
It's-- *choke*
Kiyomi: ハイハイお水
Here, take some water.

Page 068
Students: おかわりっ！大盛りっ！
Seconds!!
In bigger servings please!!
Mr Taguchi: ・・・明日のカレー・・・たのんだぞ・・・
Tomorrow's curry...
I want you to do it...
Mr Taguchi: 皆の喜ぶ顔が・・・目にうかぶなぁ・・・
I can see...
all their happy faces...
Kiyomi: ・・・おじいさん・・・！！！
...Dear...!!!
Kiyomi (present): わたしは・・・どうしても・・・！！寮をつぶしたくないんです・・・！！！
No matter what,
I want to protect our hostel...!
Kiyomi: すいません・・・はしたないところを・・・
I'm sorry...
How shameful of me to be crying in front of you...
Muhyo: 他に最近何か変わった事は・・・？
Is there anything else
that's changed recently?
Kiyomi: 変わった・・・？ああ・・・雑木林を駐車場にしましたが・・・
Changed?
Oh...
The copse of trees behind our place...we built a carpark there, but...

Page 069
Muhyo: ここか・・・
So this is the place...
Roujie: うん・・・いかにもってかんじ・・・
Yup...It surely looks haunted...
Roujie: 皆実家とか友達の家にヒナンしてるんだよね、おばあちゃんの話だと
According to Grandmother Kiyomi,
all the students are staying with their parents or friends, right?
Roujie: てことは今アパートにはおばあちゃん一人・・・
So that means that right now, she' s staying here all alone...
Roujie: 大丈夫かな --ってアレ？ムヒョ？
I wonder if she's ok-- Hey? Muhyo?
Muhyo: 見ろ。ここの駐車場のこの縁石・・・
Look --
The stone in this carpark...

Page 070
Muhyo: 墓石に見えんか？
Isn't this
a grave stone?
Roujie: そ・・・そんな・・・！！何で墓石が駐車場に
Wh- what?!
Why is that in the carpark?!
Muhyo: バアさんの言ってた雑木林はおそらく荒れ果てた墓地のなれの果てそこへ
The copse of trees the old lady was talking about. They must've grown on top of a neglected graveyard.
テキトーな仕事をする業者が来て、林からでてきた墓石を --って寸法だろう
Then some irresponsible workers must've dug out these grave stones and moved them to the carpark.
Muhyo: ヒッヒ。しかもコリャ悪い事に「無縁仏」・・・
凶悪な犯罪を犯し牢獄であの世行きになったヤツもいた。墓を荒らされる以前に怨みつらみが霊になってもあるだろう
Heheh
To make matters worse, this is a "Muen-botoke"...
Such people can be those who committed serious crimes and were given a life sentence in prison.
Even before having their graves destroyed, their souls would have a lot of hate in them.
Note: 無縁仏・・・とむらう縁者のいない死者の事
"Muen-botoke" -- The dead without anyone to grieve for them
Muhyo: 面倒な事になりそうだぜ・・・
Looks like this is
gonna be a pain...

Page 072
Roujie: あっ
Ah!
Roujie: ムヒョ、待っ--
Muhyo, wai-
Roujie: て・・・
t...

Page 073
Roujie: う・・・うわ・・・！！
A...Aah!
Roujie: あわわわわわ・・・！！
Aaah, aaah....
Roujie: ムッ、ム・・・ムっ、ムヒョ・・・！！
Mu- Mu-
Muhyo...!!
Roujie: あ
Huh?
Muhyo: おーコリャ引越す気満々だナ
Oh? Look.
Seems like they're really planning to leave.

Page 074
Muhyo: もーオメーはいいから。この部屋でも調べとけ・・・！！
Sheesh, you idiot.
Just check out this room or something...!
Roujie: はー。僕ってダメだな・・・
*sigh*
I'm so useless...
Roujie: よくみるとホントにダンボールが一杯だ・・・コリャおばあちゃんさみしいだろうな・・・
There really are a lot of boxes...
This must be very depressing for Grandmother Kiyomi...
Roujie: ん？風・・・？
Hn?
The wind?
Roujie: あれ？窓が開い--
Huh? The window...it's open--

Page 075
Roujie: え・・・？
Huh?!

Page 076
Kiyomi: おやまあ・・・どなた・・・？こんなおそくに
Oh, my...
Who are you?
It's so late already,
Roujie: ・・・うう・・・！！
...Aah....!!
Kiyomi: なにかごようですか・・・？
What are you doing here...?

Page 077
Roujie: お・・・！！おばあちゃんが・・・！！
Gra--!!
Grandmother Kiyomi!!
Kiyomi: ふほほほ・・・
Heh heh heh...
Kiyomi/Ghost: ・・・ゲヘ・・・ゲヘヘヘヘヘ・・・こいつぁ憑き易そうだなぁ・・・
...Gehe...
Gehehehehehe...
Looks like this guy'll be easy to control...
Ghost: このアパートの連中はみんな
All the people in this apartment
Ghost: 憑きにくくて困ってたとこだ・・・！！
were so difficult to possess...!!
Roujie: す、すごい力・・・！！！かはっ・・・！！
He's s- so strong!
Ugh...!
Ghost: ホレッ・・・ホレッ！
Here, here!
Roujie: ぐっ、うっ
U-
uuh!
Ghost: 気絶しといた方が楽だぞ。ケケケケ
You'll feel better if you're unconscious! Kekekeke.

Page 078
Ghost: なんせ今からオマエに乗りかえるんだ・・・！！
After all,
I'm gonna take over your body now!!
Ghost: やっとこれでこの三日連続クソマズイカレーを食うババアともお別れだ・・・！！
Eating that disgusting curry for three days in a row...
At last, I can leave this hag's body!!
Roujie: ・・・そ・・・！！言い・・・！！ゲホッ
...Don't...say...
*Choke*
Ghost: ん？
What?
Roujie: 言い直せ・・・悪霊め・・・おば・・・あちゃんのカレー・・・は・・・やさしくておいしいんだ！！言い直せよぉ・・・！！
Take that back...you evil spirit...
Grandmother Kiyomi...her curry...is filled with her warmth...and it's delicious!!
Take back your words...!
Ghost: ゲヘへ・・・何を言い出すと思った・・・ら・・・？
Gehehe...
So those are you last
wor--?
Ghost: う・・・ババアめ・・・！！
Ugh...
The hag...!!

Page 079
Student: おじーちゃんとおばーちゃんのカレーって、やさしくてうまいんだよね！！
Mr and Mrs Taguchi's curry
is filled with their warmth, and it's really delicious!!
Kiyomi: お・・・お・・・おじいさん・・・！！みいんなよろこんでますよ・・・！！
D- d- dear...!!
Everyone is so happy...
Roujie: お、おばあちゃん・・・！！悪霊と戦ってる・・・！！
Grandmother Kiyomi!!
She's fighting against the evil spirit...
Ghost: ぷはぁぁ！！
Argh!!
Ghost: ハアッ、ハアッ。ババア、まだ余力がありやが--
*pant*
That hag!! She still has the strength to--
Muhyo: ヒッヒ。ばあさんのカレーは栄養満点だからナ
Heheh
It's because her curry's very nourishing.

Page 080
Ghost: なんだぁ、テメェ！！
Who are you?!
Roujie: ムヒョ・・・！！ゲホッ！！
*cough* Muhyo!!
Muhyo: オイ、テメェ。墓が無くなって腹が立つのか、この世に未練があるのか知らんが。老い先短いババアに憑くとは随分じゃねーか？
Hey, you.
I don't know if it was having your grave torn down that upset you or if you just have a grudge against the living.
But don't you think you're going too far, possessing an old lady who's almost at the end of her life?
Ghost: 知るかア、ババアの命なんざ
I don't care about this hag's life!!
Muhyo: ばあさんの作る肉の少ねえカレー食いたい奴もいるだろうに・・・
魔法律醍881条、『人体無断寄生』の罪により
Well, there must be some people who still want to
eat the curry she makes -- Even if there's so little meat in it.
Magic Law, Article 881 "Illegal parasitism in humans". For this crime--

Page 081
Muhyo: 『茨の園』の刑に処す
I pronounce the sentence of "The Garden of Thorns"
Ghost: ぐおぉっ！！
Aaargh!!
Ghost: しまったああ・・・！！コイツそっちの輩かあぁ・・・！！
Shit...!!
This guy is one of them!
Muhyo: 未来永劫、地獄の茨の森をさまようがいい・・・！！
Forever
you shall wander in the forest of thorns in Hell!!

Page 082
Ghost: や・・・やめ・・・！！！
Sto- Stop it!!
Ghost: ぎゃあああ・・・
Aaaaahhhhh!!
Roujie: お、おばあちゃん！！しっかり・・・！！！
Grandmother Kiyomi!! Hold on!!
Kiyomi: ・・・お・・・
D-

Page 083
Kiyomi: おじいさん・・・カレーパーティー・・・
Dear...our curry party....
Roujie: おばあちゃん・・・！！
Grandmother Kiyomi...!
Roujie: もう平気だよ・・・
カレーパーティー・・・ひらけるよ・・・！！
It's ok now...
You'll be able to hold
your curry party...!!

Page 084
Roujie: ・・・え？ダ、ダメなの？今回も・・・
...Huh? It's not allowed?
Again?
Roujie: ムヒョルールの「依頼人との再会を禁ず」って、ちょっと見にいくのもダメ？
Your rule: "Meeting the client of a closed case is forbidden."
Can't it be bent a little?
Muhyo: くどい
No.
Roujie: だって・・・でもおばあちゃんの事が気になって・・・
But...I'm really worried about Grandmother Kiyomi....
Muhyo: オレ達は依頼人の憑依のダメージまで面倒は見きれん。あのバアさんの事は忘れるんだ
We can't help our clients recover from the damage they receive from the possession.
Forget about that old lady.
Roujie: ・・・きっと・・・元気になってるよね・・・おばあちゃん
She...
She'll be ok, right?
Muhyo: ヒッヒ。肉なしのカレーでも作ってるかもナ・・・
Hehe
She's probably cooking her meat-less curry right now...

Page 085
Roujie: ・・・お昼ゴハンのお買い物行ってくる・・・
（しょんぼり）
...I'll go buy our lunch...
(I'm so sad...)
Muhyo: おーおー、行ってこい。これでやっとねれるぜ・・・
Yeah, yeah. Good riddance. Now I can sleep at last...
Roujie: チェッ・・・さみしいもんだね・・・
Pfft... This is such a depressing business.
Roujie: ん？いい匂い・・・
Hn?
This smell...
Kiyomi: カレーはいかが・・・？
Would you like some curry?
Roujie: あ・・・
Oh...
Roujie: ぃやった～！ムヒョ～！！カレーパーティーだよぉ～！！
Yeeeaaah!! Muhyo!! We're having a curry party!!!
Muhyo: んあ？うるせえなぁ・・・
Ah? You're so noisy...

Page 086
Muhyo: また肉がー
No meat again?!
Roujie: しっ！！
Ssshh!!
Kiyomi: ？おかわりありますよ？
? Would you like some more?
