Bloody Monday 16

Page 30:

F: Russia's Christmas actually...

occurs on...

the 7th of January.

M: -He knows!
Dammit...!!

-However, why...would he bring such a thing up now...?

M: If he sees me as an enemy, he would assume I have a weapon.

He'd be cautious, especially as we are in my territory...


Page 31:

What is the merit of creating such a situation when he is aware of the risks?

M: That's a surprise!!

I thought Christmas was December 25th around the world.

F: Well, apparently Christianity in Russia refers to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Their Christmas is January 7th.

M: Huh, is that so...

Where did you hear that story?

M: -Oh, it can't be..?
text: Otoya Kujou, huh..!

F: Ah..you understand? It was Otoya.
He could also read the Russian on that Virus video-clip title, right?

He doesn't just know a little bit of Russian, he knows a lot about Russia in general.

When I told him about how I suspected Sensei-

M: Han...

Hang on a tic, Takagi-kun!


Page 32:

M: It can't be, that I am a suspect again?

Text, top to bottom: Otoya Kujou and I aren't very close to each other.

Takagi-kun only believed that the lady who looked like me on the [Christmas Massacre] video wasn't me because of my Alibi on Christmas Day.
It's only natural that Otoya Kujou would still suspect me.

Maya: Oh no, what should I do?
Ne, Takagi-kun, believe me!

I really have never been to Russia!

Text: And now that my Alibi has fallen apart...

He too again...has therefore lost the support that held his trust to me.

So he came to find definitive evidence to prove I'm black.... (Tn: She means [black] as in Evil or Dark, not skin color)

F: It's going to be alright, because I still believe in you Sensei!

But, yeah-
Otoya's getting pretty worked up about this.

Text: Is how I should think this situation is-


Page 33:

F: And so, this time we decided to question you about January 7th.

So, that's why we came to your house from today's morning, Sensei.

M: Honestly...! So that's what it was.

Text: From what's he saying, he still believes me.

Maya: I thought you'd be tired from yesterday, but you were very early this morning, weren't you? I did think it was a little odd.

Text: But for what [reason] could he be putting on this act for?
I should keep up the conversation without screwing up.

F: I'm really sorry for what happened this morning....

That said, today is really hot, isn't it? text: Phew!

In this sort of hot weather some iced coffee sounds really good, doesn't it?

M: Fufu...

Well, then the next time you come I'll prepare you some, okay?

F: Seriously!?

M: Since you're that hot, shall I turn the Air-con on?


Page 34:

F: Thank you very much!

Text: -All right!

It's been going well so far!!

If I say it like this, if Sensei happens to be with the enemy

I haven't lost an important ally.

-And..

If sensei is really with the enemy...

I still

have a [Joker]!!


Page 35:

M: -Huh?

That's strange... there's no Air-con remote...

F: Did you bring it to a different room?

Should I go look for it?

M: It's alright. I'll go look for it later.
I'll just open a window.

We'll get a really cool breeze.

F: Oh, really?

Text: How disappointing.

By saying that you were hoping to look around this room but
I won't let you.

F: Ah!!

A nice breeze just came in here-

Text: Until now, Sensei hasn't done anything suspicious.

If she was indeed the woman in that video-clip, she should be at least a little bit agitated from losing her alibi but...

Of course, I won't be believing her so easily.

M: It feels so good,

Right?

Text: I don't remember taking the remote control out of the living room...


Page 36:

Text: If Fujimaru Takagi hid it, then he must have some sort of [Objective]

How stupid-

If you had put on a more trusting face, you could've done this more easily.

F: Fuu---uu.

Thanks for the meal, Sensei.

M: ....No, it was my pleasure.

Text: -All right
this is getting interesting!!

Regardless of whether you are white or not.. (Tn; white = innocent, in the clear)

I'll put an end to this right here!!

F: --So, as I was saying,

I have a favor to ask, Sensei...


Page 37;

F: I'm really sorry about this, but what your activities were on January 7th...

Can you please tell me?

M: -Okay.

Text: You came, Falcon!

M: Let's see... wait a sec,

It should be in my daily planner.

Text: Of course I already have an answer prepared.

But unlike Christmas Day, it would be odd for me to know what I did on such a meaningless day...

M: Ummm.. oh!

The library!

Pretend I'm trying to think...

F: the library..?

M: I was at the small picture book library near here.

Oh yeah! And I checked out the mother goose picture book.


Page 38:

M: We could go check right now..
Ah, but it's closed today and tomorrow for the weekend.

Takagi-kun, you could try looking it up with your hacking ability.

F: ...Impossible.
A small district library would have their PC's turned off on a weekend.

M: Oh no, then I couldn't prove my alibi till Monday.
How disappointing.

Text: Fufu...
That's how it is.

M: It looks like it's going to be a dreadful weekend.
text: And by Monday you will already...


page 36:

F: Don't worry about it!!

Text: ...Eh?

F: The truth is..

I already know.

Text: No matter what kind of alibi you had, I only have one answer!

F: You see...

I already [went into] your laptop to see what was in it.

M: !!
Eh!?


Page 37:

F Text: By saying it like that, if Sensei was 100% innocent, she would think I meant that I'd hacked into her PC.

But if she's a highly intelligent Terrorist...

M Text: Unbelievable!!

Even he couldn't hack into a computer that he doesn't know either the IP address or Mac address of!

Then, when he said [went into] he means...

Text: At that time...

He was still in the room!!

-!!!

He looked directly into my PC!?

How far?

M: ...That was mean of you, Takagi-kun. To do such a thing...


Page 38:

F: I'm really sorry! Please forgive me!
But now I know your alibi from your earlier statement.

Text: If she found out I searched through her belongings, she'd never forgive me even if she was white. (trans note: Innocent)

F: Inside Sensei's laptop, I found your internet history for January 7th.

Text: And if she is Black...

M Text: He got me! On that day I connected my laptop to the net in Vladivostok..!!

He at least knows I wasn't inside Japan!

F: After that, I wanted to hear what you were doing...

and where from your own mouth!

M: Where...doing what?

Text: I couldn't have checked out a picture book if I wasn't even in Japan at the time...

which means I lied!!


Page 39:

M; I lied

because I'm the enemy!

M: I was in Vladivostok,

Testing a virus on a human.


Page 40;

Maya: I didn't think you had looked through my PC.

F; -No.

M: Eh?

F: I hadn't seen anything inside your laptop yet.

I didn't have time.

M; What!? Then why did you suddenly start talking about my alibi?

F: -Of course
I was looking for [this].


Page 41:

Text; He suddenly brought up the "Christmas Massacre"

He said how [hot] it was today

I couldn't find the remote anywhere

Everything was-


M: OUTSIDE!


43:

M: So that's...how it is...

F': So that's how it is!

Otoya?

Are you alright??

Otoya: Yeah..!!
You too...?

F: Sorry

O: You weren't wrong. Don't apologise.


44:

O: You overdid it.

F: So did you! text; that is...
I only saw you there when she was getting coffee by accident.

Thus I immediately pressed re-dial to call you.

O: -Surprising the hell out of me.

I thought you wanted to let me hear the conversation, but then you suddenly began owning up to her about your suspicions...

F: Russia's Christmas is on January 7th.

But you immediately understood what I was thinking.

-A shiver ran down my spine.


Page 45;

O: --but
finally!

F: Yeah!!

At last...

We've arrested

Someone to lead us to them!!
