[Frame 5] Why, Soul!? We still have one minute!! / Look at the state of him! It won't even take a minute!! / Heh heh heh... Looks like there's one person who's thinking straight
[Frame 6] Did you forget? Before he transformed, that old man said "400 years back? No, 100 should be plenty..." / That probably means he can still transform further

p.22
[Frame 1] It's also true that by making himself 100 years younger, / he extended the amount of time he can spend in the field by 10 minutes
[Frame 2] Did you finally realize? / You had no chance of winning, from the start / PURUPURU* / Your bodies are going to start fading into afterimages soon... / For fighting bravely, this time I'll let you go / There's nothing you can do... It would be best to just head back / as payback for me releasing you
* wobbling
[Frame 3] As a Shinigami, I should be able to remain here for a while longer... / but this isn't an enemy I can beat on my own
[Frame 4] After we've come this far...
[Frame 5] You must be joking!! To leave like whipped dogs...!
[Frame 6] GI GI*

[Frame 7] Let's go back, Black*Star...

[Frame 4] When we get back to the school, you're all getting called into my office / Prepare yourselves
[Frame 5] How come you've only got me by the neck...?
[Frame 6] Thank goodness you're alright

p.30
[Frame 1] Oi! Everyone alright? / Sid! Nygus! / Justin, too!
[Frame 2] We were worried about you / Looks like we've found everyone / It's unfortunate, but one of the enemy force got away
[Frame 3] Our objective this time was to obtain "Brew", not to destroy the enemy / Speaking of which, what about "Brew"?
[Frame 4] FURU FURU*
* shaking head
[Frame 5] Stein... Can you stand? / I'll carry you on my shoulders / Sorry about this...
[Frame 6] Maka / POI* / PATSU* / Yeah
* toss / * catch
[Frame 7] A mirror... / After we leave this island, use that to give a mission report to Shinigami-sama / Can you do that? / Yes!!

p.31
[Frame 1] Well then, let's go home, to Death City
[Frame 2] ZAZAZA*
* waves
[Frame 3] BUTSU* BUTSU* / It's over... we're alright...
* Shiver
[Frame 4] SUTSU*
* wipe

p.32
[Frame 1] KYU KYU KYU* / *
* squeak squeak squeak
* T/N: 42-42-564 is a play on words, the way it's read sounds like "die, die, kill"
[Frame 2] TURURURURU~ TURURURURU*
* muzak
[Frame 3] KACHA* / Hello hello... Shinigami-sama, this is Technician Maka...
* click
[Frame 4] Makaaaa!! / Are you okay!?!? / It's Papa!! / It's Papa!!
[Frame 5] Yeah. / Yes. / Anyway / Put Shinigami-sama on.
[Frame 6] Man... Maka's really cute, isn't she~~~ / Yo! Sup! Hey! Hiii~! Well doooone~ / How did it go?
[Frame 7] Well,
-> Note to coolx: the other two bubbles in this frame are obviously gibberish scribbles
[Frame 8] Is that so... / You all worked hard...

p.33
[Frame 1] But "Brew" fell into Arachne's hands... / Baba Yaga's Castle
[Frame 2] Ohohohohoho / I have returned
[Frame 3] This is wonderful, Mosquito... "Brew" now belongs to me! / Hurry and show it to me
[Frame 4] Yes... / Here...
[Frame 5] What is it? / Hurry up and take it out!
[Frame 6] Well...

p.34
[Frame 1] It seems that 800 years in that field was too long... / Although "Brew" was Eibon's greatest masterpiece, it seems it couldn't withstand it
[Frame 2] Explain clearly, please
[Frame 3] As it had stopped functioning / "Brew" is now just junk.
[Frame 5] PACHIN*
* smack
[Frame 6] Well, that's alright... / I had expected as much / Lift your head
[Frame 7] But- / 800 years of effort have come to nothing

p.35
[Frame 1] It's true that I wanted "Brew" for myself / But... Shibusen doesn't know that "Brew" has been destroyed / It should be enough of a threat hanging over them / since they think that "Brew" is still functional
[Frame 2] That's true / It's a first-class bluff
[Frame 3] The news that Arachnophobia has "Brew" is itself a weapon... / And I'll only allow them to have one piece of news / That we've obtained that most dangerous tool called "Brew" / That by itself is a good result

p.36
[Frame 2] Somewhere on earth...
[Frame 3] Good work / And where is it?
[Frame 4] Here / The real "Brew" is in here
[Frame 5] Arachne, you fool / That huge explosion 800 years ago hid "Brew" well... / but Eruka and the rest of our spies uncovered the fact that "Brew" still exists
[Frame 6] The spiders guarding the inside of the field weren't released / It's a good thing we took care of that in advance / The Mizune sisters switched the fake, broken "Brew" with the real one
[Frame 7] There's no way that Arachne will discover that it's a fake

p.37
[Frame 1] But the problem was Shibusen... / How did you keep them from getting it?
[Frame 2] There's that time we used Chrona as a spy / don't you remember? / You were part of that plan too, weren't you?
[Frame 3] Ah! That snake microphone!! / The one that was hidden inside Professor Stein's partner's body, right?
[Frame 4] Did you think I planted that snake there just out of some perverse desire to listen in? / Kind of...
[Frame 5] That snake contains a demonic power which lets loose latent insanity / It's not very strong, but for Professor Stein, who's prone to insanity to begin with, it should be plenty

p.38
[Frame 1] The timing of the onset of Stein's insanity couldn't be late or early / I knew that Stein, who had Shinigami's trust, would be sent into the heart of battle / Once in battle, Stein would have to resonate with his partner, no?
[Frame 2] If that were to happen / the demonic power of the snake would immediately take effect
[Frame 3] That snake... you planted it because you foresaw the struggle for "Brew"!!
[Frame 4] I manipulated that huge battle with one tiny snake...

p.39
[Frame 1] Demon tool "Tempest", also known as "Brew"... / It's appropriate to call it a bringer of storms... / Just watch, Shibusen... Arachnophobia... And you too...
[Frame 2] Kishin

p.40
[Frame 2] Stein has gone insane... / Why... / Even though Marie was with him...
[Frame 3] Shouldn't Marie's soul wavelength have stabilized Stein's insanity? / Yeah...
[Frame 4] I didn't want to do this, but perhaps... / "Internal Affairs" / should be called in
-> Note for proofer: this passive voice is terrible, but it's the only way I could think of quickly to make the text fit the bubbles correctly, with "Internal Affairs" in the center. Feel free to rejigger.

p.41
[Frame 1] Internal affairs... / You think there's a traitor in our midst? / If you look on them with suspicious eyes, Shinigami-sama / Everyone in Shibusen will lose morale...
[Frame 2] Hurry up and contact "him".
[Frame 3] I understand. / You're calling that guy in, huh...?
[Frame 4] Mole hunter Buttataki Joe*
* T/N: 'Buttataki' basically means 'Beat the shit out of'

p.42
[Frame 1] Yes / I understand
[Frame 2] I'm off / Eh? / Where to?
[Frame 3] There's a spy in Shibusen / TON TON* / Shibusen Internal Affairs / Buttataki Joe / I'm heading over to beat the shit out of him.
