{bang}

Panel 2

Panel 3
Claude; You made the “Raven” forge a contract with Gilbert…! // He doesn’t have the blood of Nightray!
Duke Nightray; Why are you so angry, Claude? // It’s good news that a contractor for the Raven finally appeared.

Panel 4 – Panel 5
Claude; It’s true that Fred and I…even Ernest failed the contract.
// But… // There’s still Elliot…

Panel 6
Vincent; It’s useless.


Page 8

Panel 1

// Argh…


Page 14

Panel 1
Raven; The first time, it was
// Interrupted

Panel 2
Raven; And the second time I saw you
// “Self-awareness” // Had disappeared from you.
Gilbert; …………?

Panel 3
Raven; If you aren’t aware of your own self…the power gets buried…

Panel 4
Raven; How about the you… // Right now…?
{stare} {stare} {stare…}

Panel 5


Page 15

Panel 1
Gilbert; How should I… // Know!!
{pull}

Panel 2

Panel 3
Gilbert; <To kill
// To obstruct>

Page 18

Panel 1
Elliot; ––And then

Panel 2
Elliot; You drank the Raven’s blood!?

Panel 3
Gilbert; Elliot, if I did that, I would be an illegal contractor.
Elliot; Oh…yeah…

Panel 4
{clink…}

Panel 5
Gilbert; I soaked
// This with Raven’s blood.


Page 19

Panel 1
Elliot; …………! // So that’s the Carcer…

Panel 2
Gilbert; Compared to illegal contractors who ingest the blood directly, // I hear that the power you can draw out is reduced,
// But this is the reason the seal doesn’t appear on any of the contractors of Pandora.

Panel 3
Elliot; …If someone breaks that mirror, the contract disappears, right? // Be careful.
Gilbert; {squeeze…}
// Of course.

Panel 4
Gilbert; I came all this way just to get this.
// I can…finally…

Panel 5


Page 20

Panel 1
Gilbert; …………
// Sorry…

Panel 2 – Panel 3
Gilbert; It’s something you should have inherited…
// But I…

Panel 4
Elliot; …Are you trying to make a fool out of me?

Panel 5
Gilbert; !?
Elliot; Even without the Raven’s power // I’ll support this family in my own way!

Panel 6
Elliot; So, you, as a member of Nighray
// As the one who inherited the Raven


Page 21

Panel 1
Elliot; As my older brother

Panel 2
Elliot; You just have to carry out that duty!

Panel 3 – Panel 4

Panel 5
Vanessa; Elliot!!

// Elliot, where are you!?


Page 22

Panel 1
Elliot; Vanessa…
Vanessa; ………… // Elli…

Panel 2
Vanessa; Fred…our elder brother……

Panel 3
Vanessa; {huff…}

// He was… // Beheaded…by someone…

Panel 5
Elliot; <That was>


Page 23

Panel 1
Elliot; <As far as we knew>
// <The very first headhunt incident.>

Panel 2 – Panel 3
Person; Uncle was…!?
Person; Yeah…he was beheaded the same way Fred was.

Panel 4
Person; Gilbert was targeted too, right??
Person; For him, it was poison…he was this close to dying.
Vincent; ………… // Big brother…!

Panel 5 – Panel 6
Elliot; <Nightray>
// <Is being targeted.>

Elliot; <Why…!>
Ernest; Elli.


Page 24

Panel 1

Panel 2
Ernest; You // Take mother and go hide somewhere.

Panel 3
Elliot; Ernest?
Ernest; The headhunter will be caught with our hands.

Panel 4
Claude; Yeah // Even if we were to die for it!

Panel 5
Elliot; {thump}

Panel 6
Elliot; Claude…
// <No…>
// Wait!
// <Because that’s…>


Page 25

Panel 1
Elliot; <If you die>

Panel 2
Elliot; <Everything will be over–––!!>

// {Aaaaaaaaah}


Page 26

Panel 1
Leo; {Wha}

Panel 2
{bam}

Panel 3
Elliot; !?

Panel 4
Elliot; Leo!?
Leo; Ouch…

Panel 5
Elliot; Sorry, are you all right!?
Leo; Yeah…I’m the one who should apologize for walking into your room.


Page 27

Panel 1
Leo; You were groaning, so I tried to loosen your collar…

Panel 2
Elliot; ………… // You just came back?

Panel 3
Leo; Yeah // I’m sorry for staying in Sablier without you.

Panel 4
Leo; What about you? Did you speak to your father after that?
Elliot; No…I wanted to ask about his relationship with Zai Vessalius // But he refused to see me.
Leo; …Oh.

Panel 5
Elliot; {sigh…}

Panel 6
Leo; …………
// Did you see the same dream again?


Page 28

Panel 1
Elliot; …No // I dreamed about my older brothers…

Panel 2

Panel 3
Elliot; …Damn it
{clench…}
// So what do you want to tell me…!?

Panel 4
Leo; ……
// Is it called feeling it in your bones…?

Panel 5
Leo; Elliot…it’s something I heard on my way here, but…

Panel 6
Leo; It // Struck again.


Page 29

Panel 1 – Panel 2
Ada; The headhunter…!?

Panel 3
Vincent; Yes…however, the victims this time are unrelated to Nightray…

Panel 4 – Panel 5
Vincent; There’s havoc in Pandora right now…
// I hear that the four great dukes are holding a conference around the people who brought back the news…


Page 30

Panel 1
Vincent; Well // A debauchee like me won’t be invited unless I was directly involved…
Ada; ……

Panel 2
Ada; I’m…a little scared…

Panel 3
Ada; If members of Nightray like Mister Claude and the others were targeted again…

Panel 4
Ada; Gil and Elliot…
Vincent; Miss Ada…
Ada; If something happened to you, Mister Vincent…

Panel 5
Vincent; I’ll…
// Be all right, yes...?


Page 31

Panel 1 – Panel 2
Vincent; Until our relationship is accepted by your father and uncle // I won’t be able to die…

Panel 3 – Panel 4
Ada; Uh // Um…
Vincent; But it makes me happy…
// That you are // So worried about me…

Panel 5
Ada; ……!

Panel 6
{brush…}

Panel 7
Vincent; …………
// There was a leaf in your hair…


Page 32

Panel 1
Vincent; But yes…
// I do worry a little…

Panel 2
Vincent; Gil and Elliot // Their relationship turned sour because of the headhunt incident…

Panel 3
Ada; Elliot says that Gil ran away from the Nightray family…

Panel 4
Vincent; Ha ha… // Elliot never listens to people…

Panel 5
Vincent; It’s not a lie that Gil hated Nightray // And it’s true that he was trying to leave because the aristocratic way of life didn’t suit him.
// But Gil left Nightray because of a completely different reason…


Page 33

Panel 1 – Panel 2
Vincent; When his life was targeted in the headhunt
// Gil unintentionally got the people around him involved in it.

Panel 3 – Panel 4
Vincent; Fred // Claude // And Ernest were killed
// And Gil will probably be the next person to be targeted.

Panel 5
Vincent; Gil left the family so that he won’t get Elliot and our older sister involved // That’s what I believe, on my own.
// Gil is someone who gets weaker the closer the people who he wants to protect are…


Page 34

Panel 1
Vincent; But I think that was what Elliot couldn’t accept…
Elliot; <He ran away from Nightray>

Panel 2
Elliot; <He was afraid of being killed by the headhunter // So he ran away!!>

Panel 3
Vincent; Really…Elliot is a fool…
Ada; Mister Vincent.

Panel 4 – Panel 6


Page 35

Panel 1
Vincent; <…………>
// <What's with…those eyes…>
// I’m sorry.

Panel 2
Vincent; I was jealous because my brother cared so much about him // The things I said were a bit mean…
Ada; No…

Panel 3
Vincent; <She looks at me with neither pity
// Nor hatred>
Ada; I’m sure…Gil thinks you’re important to him too.

Panel 4
Vincent; <A mouth that only spews out pretty words>
// Thank you…
// <Uncorrupt eyes…>

Panel 5
Vincent; <–––Aah…>


Page 36

Panel 1
Vincent; <I want to stain her.>

Panel 2 – Panel 3
Vincent; <She’s an important person to Gil…>
// <If I hurt her> // <Will Gil get mad?>
// <That would be nice…>

Panel 4
Vincent; <I‘d like to see his face like that…>

Panel 5
Vincent; When your school starts again, I won’t be able to see you for a while again… // I’ll miss you…
// <A carefree person given only beautiful things
// And adored and cherished throughout her life>


Page 37

Panel 1
Vincent; <Annoying>
// Then, Miss Ada… // Please tell me about your day…

Panel 2
Vincent; I want to know more about the world that surrounds you…
// <Annoying>

Panel 3
Vincent; <An annoying woman>
// About Vessalius… // About your father…

Panel 4
Vincent; About Mister Oscar…


Page 38

Panel 1

Panel 2
Gilbert; …Hey

Panel 3
Gilbert; What are you doing, stupid rabbit?
Alice; Shut up, I’m thinking.
Guards; {……}

Panel 4
Gilbert; Huh!!?
// {Did you eat something strange!?}
Alice; {……}

{twist} {twist}
// If you want to see Oz, give up. // He came back to this room a while ago and went straight to bed.

Panel 5
Gilbert; …I see


Page 39

Panel 1
Gilbert; Then it’s best to leave him alone. // You don’t bother him, either.
Alice; What!?

Panel 2
Gilbert; {drag} {drag} {drag} {drag}
Alice; {Arrgh!} {Let go of meee!}
Guards; {sigh…}

Panel 3

Panel 4
Oz; <Ah…so Gil came…>
{roll…}
// <Sorry…Alice…>

Panel 5
Oz; <My body feels heavy…>
// <Even though it’s already been a week since I went to that mansion…>


Page 40

Panel 1

Panel 2
Oz; <The scene I saw when we went back to the mansion…>
// <I can’t get the red out of my head…>

Panel 3
Oz; <I was shocked when I saw the tragedy of Sablier, too, but…>
// <Something is different…>
// <I wonder what it is…>

Panel 4
Oz; <My chest is stirring // Something’s strange>
// <What’s different?
// What changed?>

Panel 5
Oz; <Am I the one
// Who changed…?>


Page 41

Panel 1
Oz; <That time>

Panel 2
Oz; <Did I
// Try to kill Marie?>

Panel 3
Oz; <Ah…>
// <Damn it…>

Panel 4
Oz; <It’s not the time // To be lying in bed…>

Panel 5
Gilbert; –––Why // Did you stop Oz?


Page 42

Panel 1
Alice; ?
Gilbert; When Oz turned the scythe on that woman.

Panel 2
Gilbert; I didn’t expect… // I mean, I thought that you would be the one to give the go-ahead…

Panel 3

Panel 4
Alice; …Because

Panel 5
Alice; If I did that, there'd be no meaning.

Panel 6


Page 43

Panel 1
Gilbert; …Meaning…?

Panel 2

Panel 3
Alice; …………
{drift…}
// …………?

Panel 4
Alice; {Well} I don’t really understand though!
{Yeah}
{It was sort of aggravating! Probably!}
Gilbert; {fall…}
// ……

Panel 5
Gilbert; {sigh…} // …………Oh well…

Panel 6
Gilbert; Anyway
{pat}
// I’ll thank you for that.


Page 44

Gilbert; Stopping Oz.
