This time, instead of the artist Fang, the artist Dug makes his appearance!! ...the Synopsis manga
Pandora Hearchu!!!!!!!
[Lottie]; It’s time for the correct synopsis! The main character Oz boy has come to the mansion of a creeper called Isla Yura in search of a stone that seals Lord Glen’s soul. That said, we Baskervilles will be destroying that stone before the boy and his friends can get to it! Fu fu fu{heart}
Fang (left) // Lily (middle) // Bandersnatch (right)
Behold, this is the work of a pro // Dug (left) + Lottie (right)
[TN; Box says “Tangerines”.]

[drawings]; Isla Yura // Oz Vessalius // Gilbert Nightray // Black Rabbit (Alice)
// Elliot Nightray / Leo // Reim Lunettes / {←※Four-eyes}
// Lottie // Lily
[TN; All pictures have a signature “Dug” inside.]
[Lottie;] Under the name of the societal debut of Oz boy, it’s not only his allies that have infiltrated the mansion; Phillip West, and even that “headhunter” are here. Also, Yura approached Leo boy for some reason...I wonder what’s between them? And, will that four-eyes survive, after unfortunately running into Lily? {fu fu fu fu}
{blush blush}
[Fang;] shock
[Lily;] yay
[Bandersnatch;] pant pant

[Fang;] Dug...you’re terrible...you never told me how well you can draw...
[Dug;] I’m not......that good...
[Fang;] Really!?

Box; Their encounter...was it necessity...?

Elliot; ............
// What’s this?

Ernest; What’d you mean...they’re your possible attendants.
Vanessa; Elliot, you’re already fourteen. // You should at least have an attendant, you know?

Elliot; ............

2

Elliot; <Those who act nice on the surface but talk about us behind our backs.
// Those who fawn and brownnose over us.>
// <That’s what all the aristocrats around us do.>
{Ah, this guy was saying that stuff that one time, too.}

// <If I had to put those kinds of people around me... // I’d rather kill myself.>
paper; {crumple...}

Ernest; You’re looking bored, Elli.
{clack...}

Elliot; Ernest.
Ernest; Come with me. // Big bro will take you to a place you’ll like.

carriage; {clatter} {clatter} {clatter}

Claude; Hey...why’d you bring Elliot...!
Ernest; It’s none of your concern, Claude.
carriage; {clatter} {clatter}

Elliot; <...Is this...Sablier...!?>

Ernest; Elliot is a rightful heir to the Nightray family.
// Besides...

Elliot; <What I’ve always wanted>

Ernest; It’s all right.
// I won’t tell him anything about Fianna’s house in detail.

Elliot; <Someone who will look at me straight in the eyes>

// <An one and only –––––...>

Isla; My my~~
{shiny}
// Apologies for leaving the room without notifying you, Mister Oz!

Oz; Don't...um, Mister Yura? // Have you changed your clothes since I last saw you...?
{huff...} {huff...}
Isla; {Omigosh, he noticed{heart}}
// I have! // I intend to don at least five outfits for this very special day!!
{twist} {twist}
Oz; Aah...
{Wow...}

Oz&Gil; {At any rate} I’m glad...! We found him...!
{wheeze wheeze}
Voices; {–––––! // –––– ––––– –––––!}

Isla; ...I wonder what’s with those raised voices...?
Voices; {–––––– ––––––!}
{–––– –––––}

6

Oz; {clack...}
Elliot; I’m asking...what were you doing with Isla Yura!?

// When I told you about my mother... // You didn’t say a single word about him...!
{pull} {pull}

Leo; ...What, // Eavesdropping?

// For a member of a dukedom, you do something very disgraceful.
Elliot; {flare}

// You...!
{pull}

{slam}

7

Oz; Hey // Elliot!?
{Violence isn’t the answer!!}
Elliot; Shut up, get out of this!

// Leo...am I that helpless?

// Even with James...I might've been able to do something if you’d talked to me about it. // But...

// Are you my attendant or not!?

{crash}

8

Leo; ............ // I’ve been silently listening to you...

// Babbling on and on...
// How annoying...!!

Gil&Oz; <!?>
Elliot; What’s that you said!?

9

Elliot; {screech}
// Let me point this out!! You're the reason I’m saying these things!!

Leo; Stop shifting the blame so shamelessly!! Can’t you use your incompetent head to at least sum up the main points!?
{snap}

Elliot; Shut up!! You’re the one who’s always off topic!! {screech}
Leo; What’s that!? I don’t know what you’re talking about! {snap}
Elliot; Don’t play dumb, you good-for-nothing!! {screech}
Leo; Shut up, you narrow-minded-impetuous-obstinate pighead!!! {snap}

Elliot; {Yo...} You...
chair; {crash}
Elliot; !?

// Wha...

10

Elliot; What are you

chair; {whiz}
Elliot; {!?}

// You...
table; {thwack...}

Elliot; {twitch} {twitch...}

// ......
// What’cha looking at, you idiot!!
{screech}
Oz; Yeah...how to put this...
{wow... Leo...}

Elliot; {clack...}
Oz; Ah...

// Come on, Gil! Go after him!
Gilbert; Huh? Um...but...

11

Oz; You’re his big brother!

Gilbert; {dash...}

Isla; My my~... How should I put this...
{rub} {rub rub}

// It’s adolescence{heart}
{My heart is throbbing...{heart}}
{twist} {twist}
Alice; ...Is that something you can eat?

12

Isla; You were...a friend of Mister Oz, correct?
Alice; ............ ............ ...Yeah.
{Oz}; {You can’t tell him that you’re a Chain!!}

Isla; Hmm...
Alice; {...?}
Xerxes; ...Oz, go after Leo.
Oz; Eh? // Well...I’m worried about Leo, too...
{But Yura...}

Xerxes; I will hold Yura here. // I’m more interested in this connection between Yura and Leo.

// You will be more likely to draw information out from him, than I.

13

Oz; ...All right. // I’ll let you handle this person, but...
Xerxes; ?

Oz; I’m going after Leo
// Because he’s my friend!

Xerxes; That’s fine by me, you know?
// As long as you don’t forget what we came here for.

14

Oz; {dash...}
Sharon; {....}
Xerxes; {sticks tongue out}

Isla; Hm...? // Which way has Mister Oz ––...
Alice; {!?}
Xerxes; {step...}

{smile...}

Gilbert; {clack...}
// ............ Elliot...

Elliot; ...What?

// Your job is to protect that shrimp. // Get lost.
Gilbert; ............ But...

15

{......}

Elliot; What is it!? // If you aren’t going away, come sit down here!!
{This is irritating!}
{hiss}
Gilbert; Eh // Is that fine?

{sit}
{Thanks for inviting me...}

// That sword...you really carry it around everywhere.

// But I’m not so sure about bringing it with you to school. // I have my gun with me today because I'm supposed to, but ––––
Elliot; Shut up.

// ...This is

16

Elliot; ...This is the symbol of Nightray that father entrusted me with (*1)
{hug...} (*the sword*)
// So I have to always have it with me...

Gilbert; {....}
{reach...}
Elliot; I’ll kill you if you touch it...!
{What’s with that hand...?}

Gilbert; ...Anyways, your attendant is quite a person. // I mean...I thought he was a little more subdued than that.
{Talking like that to his master.}
Elliot; Subdued? Him!?
// What part of him!?

17

Elliot; He blows up easily and goes berserk...

// Really...he’s no different from when I first met him...!
Oz; ! // Leo...
{clack...}

Leo; {slump...}
Oz; !?

Leo; Aah... // Oz...
// I’m sorry... // For surprising you...back there...

Oz; Are... are you all right...?
{In more ways than one...}
Leo; Yeah... // I...haven’t blown up like that for some time, so now I’m sort of depressed...
{Fu fu fu fu...}

18

Leo; Ever since I became Elliot’s attendant, // These things haven’t been happening that often...
Oz; Eh?

Leo; Elliot is short-tempered, you know, // So it’s like I don’t have time to be angry...
// See...when you’re with someone who’s really mad, don’t you become a little calmer?
Oz; Oh, I think I know what you mean.
{Elliot}; {You should be} {Ashamed of yourself}

Leo; ............
// ............Yeah...

// ...I have to // Apologize to him later...

19

Elliot; <............ ............ Hey>

// What // Are you doing here?

Leo; ...Can’t you tell?

20

Elliot; <............ // What’s...with this guy...?>

// <His hair...is all over the place>
{How is he reading with the hair in his face!?}
// <He doesn’t stand up when I approach him // No, he’s not even looking this way!>

// My...my name is
// Elliot Nightray!

Leo; So?

// To put frankly, you’re distracting me... // Don’t you see that I’m reading a book right now?
Elliot; Wha
Leo; Or what do you want? // Will you not leave me alone unless I kneel and kiss your feet, like the main character in this book?
Elliot; Huh!?

Leo; {sigh...}

21

Leo; You’re such a boring person.

Elliot; All right then, you bastard!!!!
{Face me, coward!!}
Ernest; {What happened, Elliot!?}
Elliot; {Shut up, Ernest // {Ah} Let go of me, Claude!!!}
{Don’t decide thing by yourself!!!}

22

Elliot; [My first impression of him // Was definitely as bad as it could get.]
{Letgggoooo!!}

// [The facility called Fianna’s House]
// [Was made to protect children caught up in incidents involving illegal contractors.]
{Gaaaah}
{drag drag drag}

// [I was surprised that people were living in Sablier, a restricted area // But something bothered me even more ––...]
// ...Why did they build the facility in a place like this?

Ernest; They say that those who acquire a “bond” with the Abyss are more likely to be attacked by the Chains.
// It’s safer here where the law has no effect because Pandora has more freedom.
{It'd be hard to hide the presence of the Abyss in the middle of the city, you see?}

23

Ernest; But what should we do with that orphan?
// If you want, we can kick him out of here right now.
{Big bro will kick him out for you.}

Elliot; ............. // It doesn’t matter.
// [His attitude]

// <Did piss me off
// But not like that.>

// <There were no dark feelings like when they talked about Nightray behind our backs.
// Instead
// My heart was filled with ––––...>

24

Elliot; <A genuine curiosity towards him ––––>
Leo; Oh // You’re here again.

// Don’t children of aristocrats go to boarding schools? // Ahh...so you didn’t make it in?
{Pft...}
Elliot; Shut up.
{We’re on vacation.}

// [After that, // I sometimes followed father to Sablier on his inspections of the Pandora branch.]

// [Also]
// [Father intended to not tell me about Sablier until I grew up a little // So he chewed out my two older brothers who took me there quite a bit.]
Ernest; {...... That...... That was scary...}
Claude; {How did I... Get involved in this...?}

25

Elliot; [Little by little]
// [I began to understand the person called Leo.]

// [He always went by his own tempo.]
// [He didn’t get intolerable as long as nobody disrupted him while he was reading.]

// [The kids around him seemed to be afraid of him for some reason // But]

// [When he started playing the piano]
// [Everyone became quiet and closed their eyes.]
{...And he taught himself...}
{This pisses me off......}

26

Leo; Elliot
// Did you finish that piece you were talking about?

// You write your mother a song for her birthday every year, right?

Elliot; Oh, I already finished that one. // I’m working on a different piece right now.
Leo; Oh, how does it go?

// ....Hmm. // That’s a nice melody.

// Have you decided on the title yet?

27

Elliot; ............
// “Statice”

Leo; “Forever unchanging”... (*2)

// Uh...you like flower meanings and stuff? // To put frankly, that’s really girly.
{Wow... I didn’t expect...}
{(drawn back)}
Elliot; {Shut up!!}
// My older sister likes these kinds of stuff! {And you said the meaning quite swiftly yourself!}

// [Leo never spoke like he was talking to nobility]

28

Elliot; [But I found that]
// [Strangely comfortable.]

// <............>
// <Oh...I see.>

// <Leo’s words were always
// Directed at me, not Nightray>

// <How do I say this?>
Leo; {Hey, how about arranging the melody like this~?}
Elliot; <Put simply...>

// <I enjoy this.>
{Yeah.}

// ...You really like it, don’t you?
Leo; Yeah, I think it will become a wonderful piece.

29

Elliot; ...Then, I’ll give you this piece when it’s done.

Leo; Ahh, as the “symbol of a friendship that lasts forever”!
// Enough with the corny phrases!
{It’s gross!}

Elliot; Or rather, enough with that insolent mouth of yours...!!
{squeeze squeeze squeeze}
Leo; {Huh –– What are you talking about ––?}

Elliot; <At the same time,
// There were still many things I didn’t understand.>

// <For example
// Leo never cut his hair, no matter what.>

// <One time, he almost killed someone who tried to cut his hair.>

30

Elliot; <Actually, he would have killed him if I hadn’t stopped him.>
{wheeze wheeze}
// <Now I understand // Why the kids are so afraid of him...! {I think......}>

// <I don’t know why
// He wants to hide his face that much...>
{huff...} {huff...}

// <Wow.>
// <And I was wondering how terrible his face looked...>

// <But his eyes are such a beautiful color.>
{What a waste.}

31

Leo; –––– Eh // ...No.
// It’s not that I don’t want to be seen... // I just don’t want to see.

Elliot; ...What don’t you want // To see?
Leo; The world.

Elliot; {....}
Leo; Ha ha ha ha ha

// ...You don’t have to understand, Elliot.

32

Elliot; –––– All right.
// I’ve decided.

// You’re going to become my attendant!

Leo; What’s this, all of a sudden?
Elliot; {stand up...}
// It’s not sudden.

33

Elliot; <...What I’ve always wanted>

// The person who becomes my attendant // Should be someone who pisses me off as much as you do.

// <Someone who will look at me straight in the eyes>

// <An equal “friend”>

34

Leo; Eh // I’d hate that.
{In your dreams.}

35

Oz; Wha...you refused? // You refused!? Just like that!?
{I’m surprised!!}
Leo; Of course I’d refuse. // I’m not the kind of person who can serve someone else.

// –––– Yeah.

// ...I thought I wasn’t... // The kind of person...

// <Ahh... But...>

36 - 37

Leo; I’m interested in the Nightray library.
{I want to read those books.} {It’s probably pretty amazing.}

Elliot; Huh!?
Leo; –– Besides...

// To put modestly,
// I don’t really hate you.

// So...
// All right, master.

38

Elliot; ...Anything else?
Leo; Eh?
Elliot; If you want anything, say it now.

Leo; {Hmmmmm.......}

{Oh}
// –– Then,

// I want you to buy me a pair of glasses♪
{A fake one's fine.}
Elliot; You’re going to hide your face even more...?

39

Elliot; –– After that, it was a heck of a job trying to convince the others.

// I somehow persuaded my siblings... // But father was dead set against having a commoner as an attendant.
Gilbert; {Oh.....I had no idea.......}
Elliot; {By then, you’d already stopped coming back to Nightray.}

Leo; But...after that incident ––

Gilbert; Incident?

Elliot; Yeah.
// A kid from Fianna’s House ventured deep into the hole and didn’t come back.

40

Elliot; Leo and I went to search for him and we found the kid // And for some reason, father allowed Leo to be my attendant after that...

Gilbert; ...Did you do something, Elliot?
Elliot; No...

// It’s pathetic, but... I was unconscious because I slipped and fell and hit my head...
{twitch...} {twitch...}
{I thought he was going to scold me for that......}
Gilbert; {O...oh......}

Elliot; <...Could Leo have seen>

// <Something in that place ––...?>

41

Leo; ––––...Oz.
// I...

// Respect Elliot a lot.

// He’s completely different from me
// But that’s why he’s a bright // And precious person.

Oz; I see.

42

Leo; That’s why // I think I can kill anybody who is Elliot’s enemy!

// –––– Even if the person

// Was you
// Or me.

43

Leo; {grab}

Oz; !?
Leo; But... I was thinking...

// Maybe... I’ll forget that too...
Oz; Le... Leo...
Leo; Like Philip and the others.
{pull...} {pull} {pull}

Oz; Phillip...!?

Leo; So do me a favor, Oz.
// If...I’m the reason for all this

// Don’t forgive me. (*3) // Save Elliot.

// If that were the case...

44

Leo; Kill me
// With those hands, please...?

45

Oz; –––– Leo...!

{Aaaaaaaaaaaah!}

Oz; {dash}
Leo; !

Oz; {dash}

46

Oz; What happened!?
Maid; {Ah} {Ah}

Oz; <A headless // Corpse ––––!>
Words; <The headhunter strikes...!!>


Translation Notes;
*1 ナイトレイの象徴（あかし）
Translated as "symbol of Nightray"... I have no idea what it means. It could be the symbol that Elliot is a Nightray. Or it could be, like a family heirloom or something.
*2 The meaning of flowers seems to be different from language to language, because in English, statice (it's a flower) means "remembrance".
* 3 許さないで
I translated this as "Don't forgive me," but Leo doesn't really say "me." He only says "Don't forgive." Therefore, there's the possibility that he's really saying not to forgive someone else. (Except for that seems out of context. Then again, it's those black speech bubbles of doom and who knows?) Anyways, just putting that out there.
