Belmonde le VisiteuR 9

Hey here's something I've been wondering about...doesn't Belmonde deserve an icon by now?
In fact, I've got a great idea--since Belle does that cool thing with his eyes, we could just use the HnC icon since it's a red eye, and no one needs it anymore...right??

01
-GUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

white: he screams in pain!!

-umu...what a lovely sound
-There's nothing quite like the echo of people's screams!
-They become more beautiful the closer one comes to death
-Don't you think...

02
-Belmonde?

-Monsieur Belmonde!!
-Monsieur Belle!

-How could this happen? We were down to the last of the five assassins, too!
-We're this close to discovering LeMasque's true identity!!

03
below title - a mysterious tale of Baroque Torture

-Even in the darkness of the underground, there are times of peace--

-lower left - The 9th act: The man with the leaf
right: ishioka shouei
bottom-most: Summary - Belmonde, an inquisitor whose existence is known to none, is suddenly attacked one night by five assassins sent by the mysterious "LeMasque"! After defeating four of them, Belmonde's power is just about at its limit! Finally, the 5th arrives, but...?!

04
-Looks pretty painful
-Since I heard you were a descendant of those "witches" I thought you'd be immortal...
-But it seems I was wrong

-Death will come to get you, just like everybody else...

-Oi, oi...what's an injured kid and two women like you tryin' to pull?

05
-It's my mission to keep everything related to monsieur Belmonde a complete secret!

-I-I'd do anything for monsieur Belle!!

-If my master dies, I'll be back out on the streets again

-Ha...
-If I lose to this lot, I don't know how I'll ever be able to apologize to my men...

-Belle?!

-Oh? You're ready for me to finish you off?

06
-This is...the end for me
-Georges...hurry and wake up! (small: you idiot!)
-That's why...before I die, I want to ask you something

-What, about our client "LeMasque"?
-No...about lizards
-Huh? Lizards?

-Yes...I heard that when you try to catch a lizard, it will break off its tail in order to escape
-However, that tail continues to wiggle all by itself

07
-Is that because the lizard's body is causing it to
move?
-Or is it because the lizard's tail is moving all by itself?
-Which is it?

-What're you asking me at a time like this?

-I got no clue, but...I guess, it's moving on its own?

-Oh, I see. That means you
-think you're safe because you see me as a lizard

-What? What the hell are you talking about?

08
-GUOOOOOOO!!
-W-what the!?

-Unlike a lizard, if I consciously remove a piece of my body...
-I can control it by will after it's severed

-H-how is that possible?!

09
-You thought that you took off my left arm...
-But you're mistaken
-I cut off my own arm just a split second sooner

-...But...you were bleeding!?

-Take a good look
-That blood came from the wound those twins gave me earlier

-...then, that scream was...

-An act!
-Pretty realistic, wasn't it?

-If master Belle goes into acting, the theater would be sold out every night
-I'd bring him lots of bouquets!!

10
-Damnit!

-Let go of me!!

-...huh?

11
-Haaaah?

-...Whose hand's are these!!

-Oh, I don't believe this...!!

12
-Well now, mister Goshiisuma
-time for your torture!

-H-hey!!
-Where are you...!!

-Oh...
-oooh....

-You'd better stop this right....!!
sfx - squirm squrim
-Ooooh
-H-hey!! I told you to...!!
-Ooohh...

13
-...whose hand is that...?
-Celine's (how uncouth!)
-Not me!!
-It's Chloe's!!!

-Ahe...hehehe
sfx - squirm squirm
-I-Incredible...!!
-I-I've never had it this...good!

-Chloe, finish him (t/n - roflamo)
-Right away

14
-GUWAAAAAAAA!!

-you just told me earlier that people's screams were beautiful, right?
-I just don't understand what you were talking about

-Just watching from over here is painful enough...

"Hm, so he passed out while standing erect?"
"Yes, he sure was erect."
"WHAT was!?"
(pasted from zindryr below...)

15
-Now then, I'll have a look at your memories

-"I desire to see the truth from the depths of thine darkness"
-Answer me: Who is LeMasque!!

-Finally! The man who sent the five assassins tonight...
-"LeMasque's" true identity is about to be revealed!

-OUVRIR!!

16
-...how's this?

-Georges...!!

18
white: The traitor attacks!!

-The look on your face...this time's no act, right?
-Belluchi~

-GAHH!!!

the 9th act/end
next time: Georges stabs Belmonde! What made him do it!?

-end-
