Pandora Hearts 46

Note; The raw on mangahelpers here is not ordered correctly. You might want to get it somewhere else.
Also, in here, the headhunter is referred to as she but the Japanese isn't gender-specific. It's my best guess that it's a she since it's the "Queen of the Headhunt".


This year, it’s reverse chocolate!!! …the ^incomprehensible^ Synopsis Manga
Pandora Hearchu!!!

How to make delicious chocolate

Ingredients
・A somewhat bedridden Oz
・Gil, who hasn’t been useless lately
・Is he here this month? Break
・Vincent, the enemy of females
・Run away quickly! Ada
・Hang tough, Lady Sharon
・Anything else you want to put in

① Add Oz, Gil, Sharon, and the others to the bowl that protects the seal for Glen Baskerville’s soul and put it in hot water and so that they melt until the headhunter appears.

My pâtissier // Gil
Loves sweets // Oz
Yay, gimme chocolay // Leo
The goal is mastering man cooking // Eliot
Book; {How to Make Man Chocolate}

② When the headhunter appears, pour the molten ingredients into the molds. However, if you take your eyes off the headhunter for even a short while, she will start attacking members of the Nightray family, so take extra care.
③ Before the ingredients poured into the molds harden, top them with Ada and Vincent. But since Vincent looks at Ada in somewhat of a disgusting way, it is recommended that they be placed separately.

Fu fu…fu fu fu fu fu // Vincent

Dug; M.
Fang; If you follow those directions,
// It says in this book that you will end up with chocolate delicious beyond imagination –––
Lottie; No, you won’t!!!
Book; {Sure-Fire Chocolate}

Vincent; <The first time I saw that woman last year, it was snowing outside>

// <The emerald, the same as “his”, seemed to be accusing me>

// <And so that I wouldn’t have to face what I did, I>

The dark feelings come back to life…


Vincent; <Detested that light.>

Retrace: XLVI Persona -The mask over the gold-
Jun Mochizuki


Lily; Hey
{slap slap}
// Vincent!

Vincent; {drift in…}
Lily; Don’t go to sleep when we're talking!


Lily; {Owowowowowow!!?}
Vincent; Aah… I thought I was having a bad dream, and it was because of you, Lily.
{A ha ha ha ha}
Dormouse; {ku ru ru…}
{nibble nibble}
Lily; Aaaah!
Vincent; {twist twist twist} {twist twist twist twist}
Fang; That’s brutal, Mr. Vincent!

Vincent; Sorry sorry… I was sort of half asleep…
{A ha ha ha ha ha ha…}
Lily; Liar!!
{boo-mew}
Vincent; So…what were we talking about…?

Lottie; …The seal

Lottie; So it’s true that the second of the seals that bind Lord Glen’s soul was destroyed?
// Vince boy.


Vincent; {yawn…}
// Yeah…it is.

// The second seal was in the Carillon region, near the village of Thor.

Fang; The Carillon region… // That makes it a little easier to decide where to search next.

Lily; ? It does?
{climb climb}
Fang; Yes // When there are multiple seals, they are usually aligned in the shape of a magic circle.

Lottie; That’s not important, Fang.
// What’s important is that “headhunter” who broke the seal.
{slam}


Lottie; I know that contractor has had a history with Nightray.
// But I don’t understand why she got herself involved with destroying the seals.

Vincent; That’s true…
// It can’t be helped, but… // Pandora thinks that the headhunter has something to do with us.

Fang; It’s a bit disturbing… more so because we don’t know her intentions.
Lily; Why?

Lily; We didn’t have to break the second seal ourselves!
// We can just be happy!

Vincent; A ha ha—Lily is so stupid, it’s relaxing. {(Reading the lines)}
{A ha ha ha ha} {ha ha ha ha…}
Lily; Myat do you mean!?
{angry!!}
Fang; {Mr. Vincent…}


Vincent; But still… // Lily does have a point…
Lottie; Boy, you’re a member of Nightray, too. // You really don’t know anything about the headhunter?

Vincent; …Of course, I do know some things.

Vincent; She’s some illegal contractor
// Who attacks those with connections to Nightray
// A lunatic who loves cutting people’s heads off

// And
// An unfortunate person who I’ll kill someday.


Vincent; What…? Isn’t that a given…?

// She’s the one who almost killed my big brother, you know?

// That’s the same as William West…
// Those members of Pandora said to bring him back so that they could draw out more information about the headhunter // But his seal didn’t even have enough time left for that…
// So I killed him.
// Before the hand went around and dragged him into the Abyss.

// Don’t you agree...? // If he worked with the one who attacked big brother, that’s the same crime as the headhunter’s ––
{chuckle chuckle}
Lottie; That’s it, stop talking!


Vincent; {plop…}
Lily; {Ooh, ooh, you got scolded!}

Vincent; {……}
{flick}
Lily; {Meow!!?}
Note; {※A chess piece}
Lottie; We'll put the headhunter aside for now // Are you doing your job properly, boy?
// {Stop it!}

Lily; Job?
{slide slide} {sob…}
// Isn’t Vincent gonna come with us?

Vincent; No.
{hmm…}
// Lottie and you guys have the role of finding the seals // And I have the role of finding the “keys” to the doors.

Lily; {twitch…}
// Key…

Vincent; {Chuckle…} // Yeah… they're the right to own the doors leading to the Abyss
// That rightfully belong to Glen Baskerville.


Vincent; To get the doors back, we have to take the “keys” from the four dukedoms. // So I’m searching for them, since I have the freedom to move about Pandora…
Lily; But…The keys don’t have a recognizable shape, right?

// The owners of the doors take the sphere of light called the key // And conceal it in something that they carry around all the time.
Vincent; That’s right…so it’s so hard to find them…

// A sword, a jewel…they could even be hiding it in an ordinary piece of rock.
// On top of that, the key doesn’t come out or anything if they die // So I can’t just go around killing the four great dukes…


Vincent; Even Duke Nightray, who helps you Baskervilles, // Would never tell us where he keeps the key.
// The existence of the key is like the lifeline for the four dukedoms.

{plunk...}
// And so… Truthfully, I’m stuck.

// If I get too close to Barma, he’ll find out my information
// And Rainsworth is Rainsworth, I don’t want to approach that scary grandma.

Lottie; You…
Vincent; ––So

// First,
// I thought I’d start with Vessalius, since he seems to be the least on guard.


Vincent; It’s the rule for the four dukedoms that the one who inherits the title keeps the key…
// It’s ideal if they can forge a contract with the black-winged Chains that are the guardians of the doors like Barma and Rainsworth did, // But it seems Oscar Vessalius had none of the qualities required in a contractor…

Lottie; Don't tell me… the person you’ve been dating recently is…
Vincent; Ha ha… you’re very observant...

// People like Oscar Vessalius
{clench}
// Fear the people more important than themselves getting hurt more than anything else.


Vincent; That’s why…

// I will adore his dear princess

// And craft her into a trump card that will make him reveal the whereabouts of the key –––


Ada; Uh…
// Um…

// Mis…ter... // Vincent…

// The opera… // Already started…
Vincent; I know.

// Miss Ada…

// I don’t care if you dismiss me as a foolish man… // But
// No melody sung by any diva will reach my heart now, no matter how beautiful…


Vincent; <A mouth that only spews out pretty words>

// There is only you

// I can’t see anyone but you

// <Uncorrupt eyes>

Ada; Vi…
Vincent; Please forgive me… I don’t think I can hold back anymore…

// I want everything about you… // I cannot help it…!

// <Aah ––…>

// Can you show me your unvarnished self
// That Mister Oscar nor Gil has seen before…?
{lick…}


Ada; My...
// Unvarnished….self…

Vincent; <Stain>

// Yes…in front of my eyes

// <And tarnish>

// Show me everything…
{huff...}

// <I will make her my own doll>


Vincent; …This place is…?

Ada; This is a mansion uncle prepared for me.
// In the main mansion…Father ordered me not to invite even my friends…

Vincent; <I see…>
// <He doesn’t want a man brought in where he can see it…>

// <Aah… Really…>
{clack…}

// <All women are fools.>


Vincent; <When those flies of the fashionable society open their mouths, all that comes out is worthless, vulgar gossip
// Mindless creatures who dress themselves up to scrounge for men, acting as if they won their ranks themselves>

Woman; It’s Mister Gilbert and Mister Vincent.
Woman; Mister Vincent.
Vincent; <Stupid
// And shallow

// What blissful people.

// Some approach as for the rank of Nightray>
Woman; Mister Vincent.
Vincent; <Some direct irresponsible sympathy for us>
Woman; Mister Gilbert.
Vincent; <Some are cold to us, but all of them

// Could be easily controlled if I gave them a few kind words and laid together with them.>


Woman; Your eyes look so similar to Mister Gilbert’s, Mister Vincent.
// Did you get them from your mother? Or father?
{chuckle} {chuckle} {chuckle}

Vincent; <How…should I know?

// All I know
// Is that our mother sold us to a freak show when we were young.

// Why did you throw away Gil, too?
// Why didn’t you kill me?
// If only you had killed me
// Then Gil might have been able to become happy.>

Ada; It's a pleasure to meet you,
// Mister Vincent.

Vincent; <So
// This woman has to be the same.>


Vincent; <In the depths of those emerald eyes the same as Jack’s
// She's hiding the face of an ugly woman.>

// <I’ll stain you.>

// <I'll take off your innocent persona>
// <With my own hands>
Ada; Mister…Vincent…

// <And dye you in darkness –––>

Ada; Please look at this…


Ada; This is my real self…{heart}
{rumble} {rumble} {rumble} {rumble}

Vincent; <!?>


Ada; The beautiful “Iron Maiden”!
{ta-da}

// The "Phantasmal Black Crystal"!
{ta-da-da}

// And the cute-faced “Scolding Woman’s Mask”
{ta-da-da-dum}

// Kyaa~~~~~They’re all so wonderful~~~~~~{heart} {heart}
{kya} {kya}
Vincent; Mi…
// Miss Ada…

Ada; Ah, Mister Vincent, do you know what these are!? These are the cursed tarot cards that I somehow managed to beg off of another occult-lover who I happened to find in school and I always wanted to use these to predict someone’s future
Vincent; Miss Ada.


Ada; Ah // I’m sorry for going off on my own!
Vincent; {……}

Ada; Um… I…

// When I found out that big brother was sent to the Abyss…
// I was very sad...

Vincent; Huh?

Ada; But the people around me didn’t tell me anything in detail. // So I…

// Decided to try to rescue big brother on my own!


Ada; After that, I researched about the Abyss in so many books.

// “The Lore of the Crimson Death Gods” “The Truth of Fairy Tales” “A Study on Black Magic” “How to Become a Witch Girl”
// They were all very interesting!

// Sadly, I never found any information on the Abyss…

// But when I realized,
// I grew to harbor an immense excitement // For the occult and things off the mainstream like magic, ghosts, and torture…{heart}

// {Ah} It’s something I heard from Gil, but // You like to destroy dolls with scissors, right?


Ada; That has to be this “voodoo magic” in this book, right!? {Kyaa{heart}}
// I’ve always wanted to have a heated discussion with you about this book!

Vincent; What is that!?
{gasp!}


Vincent; I’ve been silently listening to you, and I don’t understand a single thing!
// First off, I have no interest in anything of the sort // And besides, ghosts and spirits –––

// I’ve always hated them!!
{slam}

// …………
{ah...}
// …………!?

// <Oh no…!!>
Ada; …I


Ada; I’m sorry…
// I…
{shiver…} {shiver…} {shiver…}

// Getting the wrong idea on my own // Thinking that you were…the same kind as me…

Vincent; …………!
Ada; That’s right. // There could be no such thing…

// You already // Hate me…right…?
Vincent; No


Vincent; {float...}
// I would never…!


Gilbert; …………
// What’s wrong, Vince...did something happen?
Vincent; {slide slide…}
// Aah…Um…

Vincent; Big brother, you shouldn't go after that woman.
Note; {※The occult talk lasted almost 5 hours}
Gilbert; Huh?
Vincent; No…I’m talking about myself

// And? It’s rare for you to call on me, big brother… // If you wanted to talk to me, we could have taken our time in the Nightray mansion, not Pandora…
Gilbert; Yeah…

// ...Uh
// The people around you…are they all right?

// You know that the headhunter appeared again, right?


Gilbert; I know I don’t have to tell you… // But you have to be careful, too ––
Vincent; Ha
Gilbert; {!}

Vincent; {chuckle} // {chuckle}
// I’m happy…that you’re worried about me…

Gilbert; …………
Vincent; But you should worry about yourself, big brother.

Vincent; Your life was targeted back then, too… // I heard that you had all of Pandora’s bodyguards removed…?
Gilbert; Yeah…Having them following me around 24/7 gets my mood down. // I finally understand how Oz feels.

Vincent; Ha ha…I heard they had trouble getting Oz’s bodyguards removed, too…


Gilbert; …If you hear
// Anything about the headhunter, tell me right away.

Vincent; All right.
// I’ll send you a letter with flowers again.

Gilbert; …Vince

// You don’t
// Remember anything?

Vincent; …Yeah?
// Did you forget about what I told you just the other day...?

Vincent; You don’t recall anything either, right…?
Gilbert; Yeah…

// …………
// If…


Gilbert; If you happen to recall anything from now on…
// Tell me.

Vincent; …………
// Why…?

Gilbert; I want to… // Have an honest talk with you sometime.

Door; {creak…}

{close…}


Gilbert; <………… ………… I wonder why>
// <Somehow…I feel as if I can see more clearly now…>

Oz; <I’ll take it.>
Gilbert; <Was it because Oz said that to me…?>

{ha…}

// <I’m too simple…>

Reim; {knock} // {knock}
// {knock} // {knock}

// Duchess Rainsworth
// I have brought Lady Sharon.


Sheryl; Yes, yes~ // Please let her in~

Sharon; Grandmother…what is it that you want to talk about?
Sheryl; Hm~?

// Fu fu…It’s not such a big deal.
// I just wondered if you were doing fine.
Sharon; Eh?

Sheryl; You saw a lot of things travelling with Oz, right?
// And nothing fun, either.

// I thought it might have been too much for you, Sharon // I got a little worried~
{fu fu}
Sharon; Grandmother


Sharon; It was certainly the first time I saw such horrid corpses // And I cannot forgive that I had been no help to everyone else.

// But through this, I learned something very important.
Sheryl; Oh…what can that be?

Sharon; That I am a powerless being.

// I am not feeling sorry for myself.
// …I

// It was pointed out to me that I was weak // And I finally became aware of the me that had been unconsciously relying on my Chain’s power.


Sharon; And…I also discovered I had been running around in circles because I was too desperate…
{repent…}
Sheryl; Oh my, my~

Sheryl; That’s true.
//The ladies of Rainsworth have to act // Brightly・lightly・beautifully all the time.

// That is, try not to rush things too much, Sharon.

// You don’t have to see and think the same things to walk together.
// Even if they walk different paths, people can still connect.

// …Ah, no. // This sounds too much like a grandma’s lecture.
{I’m sorry, I’m too worried~{flower}}
Sharon; Not at all!


Sharon; Thank you very much,
// Grandmother.

Door; {close…}

Sheryl; …Fu fu
// See~

// I told you there was no need to worry, was there?
// Xer-kun?


Xerxes; No, not at all…
{scratch}
// I’m very sorry for // Making you go into such unnecessary trouble…
Sheryl; {chuckle} {chuckle}

// You treat Sharon-chan too much like a child, Xer-kun~~
{fu fu} {fu fu fu fu}
Xerxes; I do not! It is only because I think Lady Sharon is as important as a daughter…!
Sheryl; Daughter? // To me, you look like a big brother who can’t grow away from his little sister.
{fu fu fu fu fu}
Xerxes; Eeh?

Sheryl; Tell her about that eye of yours soon.
// She will be // All right with it.

Pen; {plop…}
Sheryl; And…now


Shery; Well then,
// Shall we continue on with what we were talking about?

// Tell me the investigative report
// On Oz Vessalius’s past, will you…?

Xerxes; …As I said before
// Oz is the child of Zai Vessalius and Rachel Cecil, born twenty-five years ago.


Xerxes; I grew suspicious of the fact that all the doctors and servants who witnessed the birth had died // And when I confronted Mister Oscar
// He told me an important detail on the condition that it would not be released to the public.

// ………… // Zai Vessalius
// He

// Took the newborn infant from the mother’s hands
// And disappeared into the storm without telling anyone where he was headed to.

Sheryl; !


Xerxes; "I took out the baby to cleanse him with my own hands"
// That is what Zai said…

// Were those words the truth
// Or did he do something to Oz’s body during that time
// …Or did he

// Switch that infant with someone else entirely

// ………… // I don’t want to consider such a thing, but


Xerxes; The person we know // May not be the real Oz Vessalius–––

The secretly told words
Are they true or false –––…
