Text: ムヒョルールその3「依頼人との再会は事件による相談に限り、例外的に認める」
Muhyo's Rule #3: "Meeting the client of a closed case is allowed
only if they have another case they would like to discuss"
Muhyo: つーわけだ。今度はノックして用件言ってから入れ
-- So now you know. Next time, knock and tell us what you're here for before you storm in
(Roujie: びっくりした・・・
He surprised me...)
Kenji: チェッ、水臭えもそこまで行くとタダのケチだぜ・・・
Sheesh. Wanting to protect your clients becomes just stinginess if you go that far...
SFX カショ *flash*
Nana: すっごぉ～い！！
Wow!!
Side text: 悪ガキ・ケンジが再び事務所に乱入！また騒動をもたらすのか・・・？！
Bad Boy Kenji is back, bursting into the office! Is he going to cause trouble again...?!

Page 02
Muhyo: ・・・つーか
...Besides
Roujie: そーいえば・・・
Oh yeah...
Roujie: どなた？
Who are you?
Nana: ほんとーにモヤシとタマネギみたいだよ、ケンジ～
They really look like an onion and bean sprout, Kenji~
Kenji: あ、この人ナナ姉ェっての！！
Oh, her name's Nana!!
Kenji: 近所のなじみで写真家志望なんだっ
She's my neighbor. She wants to become a photographer
Nana: ウワサはケンジからかねがねっ。よろしくね♡
I've heard a lot about you guys from Kenji
Nice to meet you♡
Muhyo: まーたウルセェのがふえたな・・・
So we've got another noisy one...
Roujie: コラ、ムヒョッ
Don't say that, Muhyo
Nana: ん？
Hn?
Kenji: ロージー気を付けとけよ。ナナ姉とタマネギは多分相性悪いぜ
Roujie, be careful, k?
I don't think Onion and Nana'll get along well
Roujie: ボクもそう思う・・・
Yeah, I think so too...

Page 03
Muhyo: まあいい。用件は何だ
Whatever
So what brought you here?
第7条　ナナの写真
Article 7 -- Nana's Photographs
Kenji: 15・16、17・18、19・20・・・と
15, 16
17, 18
19, 20... There
Kenji: 全部で20枚のこの写真。心霊写真かどーか見てやってくれ！！
We've got 20 photos altogether here
I want you to check if they're really photos of ghosts for her!!
Side text: 心霊写真の山・・・写る影・・・その真偽は果たして？！
A pile of ghost photos...and in them there's a shadow... But could they be real?!

Page 04
Roujie: アレってナナちゃんの写真でしょ？
These are your photos right, Nana?
Nana: うん、そうなんだよ～。アタシはどーでもいいんだけどコノチビがさぁ～
Uh, yeah~
I don't really care, but this kid over here...
Roujie: なるほどね・・・
Oh, I see...
Kenji: チビはよけーなおせわだっ
Hey, I don't need you calling me that
Nana: 何言ってんの。アンタのほーがよけーなおせわよっ
Hah, and you think I needed you to bring my photos here?
Kenji: うわあ、紅茶似合わね～
Wow, seeing you drink tea gives me the creeps~
(because certain Western customs like teatime are considered to be more for high-class/graceful people)
Roujie: ゴーカイな人だな・・・
She isn't the elegant type, huh...?
Roujie: ム、ムヒョどお？
H- how is it, Muhyo?
Kenji: ぜってー本物だろっ
It's gotta be real
Nana: ちょっとあんたねェ～
Hey, hold it
Nana: 心霊写真なんてもんあるワケないでしょお～
Don't you get it? -- Ghost photographs are all a fake
SFX イラ② *irritated*

Page 05
Nana: まったく、オカルトの世界じゃあるまいし
It's not like we live in a such a paranormal world--
Muhyo: ヒッヒ、ビンゴッ
Heheh
Bingo
Muhyo: 20枚共本物だ
All 20 are real
Nana: は・・・？
What...?
Muhyo: しかも写真に出ている霊はどれも同一の霊
And the ghost in all of these photos
is the same one throughout
Muhyo: 特にこの一枚
This one in particular

Page 06
Muhyo: かなりやばい・・・！！
looks pretty bad...!!
Kenji: ・・・へへ・・・本物か・・・い、いざとなるとちょっと怖えーな・・・
...Hehe... A real one, huh...?
N- now I'm getting a bit scared...
Nana: はっ、バカバカしい・・・！！偶然そう見えるだけなのに・・・！！
Hah
This is silly...!!
It just happens to look like a ghost...!!
Muhyo: 確かにそうだ。心霊写真のはぼ100%は偽物だ、特にTVとかのはな
You're right
Almost 100% of all ghost photos are a fake
especially those presented by the media
Roujie: 魔法律の本にものってる
It's written on my Magic Law textbook too:
『大半は自作自演又は光の効果
"Most are faked using props or a trick of the light"
Roujie: 『だが』・・・？『場の霊気の濃度が急に高くなる等の因果関係により、霊体が実体化した時は例外』ってことは
"however"...?
"for certain reasons, such as when the concentration of aura in a place suddenly increases,
a ghost may acquire a solid form to present an exceptional case." So that means...
Muhyo: 要は霊が物になりゃ
In other words
if the ghost is solid

Page 07
Muhyo: その写真機でも撮れるってこったナ・・・！！
you can take it even with that camera...!!
Muhyo: そんでオメェはおそらく「冷媒体質」ってやつだ
And you probably have
the natural capabilities to become a medium for ghosts
Muhyo: あらゆる場に霊気が存在するがとりわけその霊気を身にまといやすい体質
The aura of ghosts exist all over the place
but you have the tendency to draw them to yourself
Muhyo: 体質は血の遺伝だ。一家そろって実は見てんじゃねーの？
Such characteristics are hereditary
so your entire family, they see it, right?
Nana: オイ・・・やめろ・・・
Hey...
Knock it off...
Muhyo: 幽霊をヨ。ククク
These ghosts
Kukuku
Nana: うるさいっ！！
Shut up!!

Page 08
Nana: アタシの家族はもうみんないなくなった！！それに心霊写真なんて・・・
My family
I lost them all already!!
Besides, photographs of ghosts
Nana: あるハズないっ！！
are all a fake!!
Kenji: タマネギ・・・
Onion...
Muhyo: まずかったか・・・
I guess I blew it...
Roujie: そうなんだ・・・ナナちゃん・・・
I didn't know that...
about Nana...
Kenji: うん・・・なんか母ちゃんは姉ちゃんがちっちゃい頃に逃げちゃっていなくて
Yeah...
I heard her mother left their house when Nana was still small
Kenji: 父ちゃんとアパートで2人暮ししてたケド、2か月前に心ゾウビョーで死んじゃって。んで、その父ちゃん昔はけっこーリッパな写真家だったんだけどさ・・・
and she lived with her father in an apartment
but he died of a heart attack 2 months ago
Also,
her father used to be quite a famous photographer but...

Page 09
Kenji: おちぶれちゃって
he came down in the world
Kenji: 最後はインチキ心霊写真作ってかせいでたんだって
and towards the end, he was making money out of fake ghost photos
Kenji: やっぱ姉ちゃんキライなのかな、心霊写真・・・イヤなコト思い出すから・・・
I guess Nana doesn't like the subject of ghost photos...
because it reminds her of bad things...
Father: ホラナナッ、プレゼント！！
Look, Nana!! Here's your present!
Nana: わーい！なんだろ？
Yeah! Whad is it?

Page 10
Nana: わぁおっ、カミラだぁ！！
Wow

Nana: ぜんぶぅ？

Father: そう、ぜんぶっ
Yup, everything
Nana: ぜぇ～んぶ？

Father: アッハッハッハッ。そうだよ、パパもだ

Father: で、でもキミ・・・

Mother: さよならっ
Good-bye
Father: うう・・・なんでこんな・・・！！
Uuh...

Father: ナナ、ゴメンな・・・こんなボロイとこ
Nana, I'm sorry...

Nana: パパといっしょならどこでもいーよ！！
If you're with me, Daddy, I don't mind!!
Father: ・・・あ、ありがとう・・・
...T- thank you...
Father: もう私は大丈夫ですから・・・！！だから仕事を-- あっ・・・！！

So please give me a job-- Ah...!!
Nana: パパ・・・平気？

Nana: こっちだよっ！！このボンクラおやじっ！！
I'm the one that's disappointed

Nana: なんだよこのクソ仕事は！！インチキ心霊写真ばっかコソコソ作りやがって！！
What is this shitty job!!
You hide away and make all these fake ghost pictures!!
Father: な・・・！！これでなんとか食いつないでるんじゃないかっ
Wha--!! But this is how I'm making enough money for us to eat
Nana: そんなみみっちー事やってっからダメなんだよっ
You suck because you do such pathetic things
Nana: 昔の栄光を汚さないよーに無難なコトしちゃってさ！！そーゆーヤワなトコがママも嫌だったんだろうよ！！
You don't even do anything big because you want to protect your past fame!!
It's your pettiness that Mom must have hated as well!!
Father: うう・・・！！
Uh...!!
Father: ち、ちがうぞナナ・・・この仕事が終わったら父さんまともな
T- that's not it, Nana... Once I finish this job, I'll get a proper--
Nana: あ～も～、そんな言い訳何度聞いたか・・・
Aarrggh, and how many times have I hear that...

No wonder Mom left you!!
