Belmonde le VisiteuR 10

Here's our favorite icon-less weekly Belmonde once again.
Will our hero finally taste some actual plot development?!

01
-The day that Georges first spoke to me
-I still remember it clearly
white: memories of his childhood!!

-Back then, it was a kind of dare to them
-Hey, you see that? He's still alive
-Stupid, he never died!
-Not knowing a single thing about me, these kids would sneak into the basement

-H-hey, don't push!!
-O-o-oops

02
-W-what's your problem!
-Let's get out of here! He gives me the creeps!

-U-um...

03
-I've brought you
-A new plate

-...yeah?
-Just leave it there

-A...and...
-w-would it be okay if I came down here, once in a while?
-What do you mean?

-I...I don't agree with the other kids here...

-So...would you please be friends with me?
-My name is Georges!!

04
-At the time, I had no clue what a "friend" was
-After all, there were none down there

-No matter how many times I tried to brush him off, Georges would just keep coming. During the time I spent with him,
small, no bubble: Oh yeah! In Paris, the Notre Dame Cathedral is connected to the moon!
-I felt that I had come to understand what it meant

no bubble: ...well, that's what I heard. Were they playing a joke on me?
-I say so because it was at that time

-That I also learned how to "laugh"

-When was it exactly that the Vice Abbot taught me this?
-"A friend is what we call people who can understand one another's hearts"

05
The 10th act: The masked man
below title: a mysterious tale of baroque torture
left: I was sure we spent that time together as friends
bottom right: ishioka shouei
very bottom: SUMMARY - Belmonde, attacked by assassins sent by the mysterious "LeMasque", defeats the remaining one - Goshissuma! At long last LeMasque's identity comes to light...as Georges! He proceeds to stab Belmonde in the chest...!?

06
-Guwah..!!

-Monsieur Belmonde!!
-Monsieur Belle!!

-Georges, you...
-you were really LeMasque?

07
-It's your fault for not seriously doubting me

-Chloe, you're quite sly, you know that?

-When did you get it?
-Explain it to Belluchi for me

-It was strange---Not all at once, but rather one after another that enemies were sent in
-If someone was planning to test Belle's power, then
-That person would have to be nearby to watch the event
flashback: I just thought I'd come back to get the dirty dishes...
flashback: But it looks like things have turned for the worse down here...
-Especially you, who pretended to come in by coincidence

08
うん、さすがベルっちが助手に選ぶだけはある
-Hmm, Bellucchi certainly knows how to pick an assistant (t/n - this is a guess)

-Except that she's too late in figuring it out!

-Ku....

-Chloe!!

-Don't try anything!
-I can kill him with just a twist of my sword!

-Everyone into the side room

-Ch...!

09
-Guh...!

-What, you look like you still don't believe me
-As they say, you are "the Visiteur," so it's no surprise you're this dense if you don't see it with your power

-Mademoiselle Celine, it's no use calling for help
-All of my friends are already up there

10
-You mean to say there's more than just the five-man squad that attacked tonight?
-And that's not all
-Knowing that Belmonde would read their minds, the five were a decoy to make us think they were the only ones...

-You got it. Oh and by the way, their leader Goshissuma, who knew my face?
-It was no coincidence that he was the last one to come
-Since Belmonde is so strong, I advised him that it would be wiser to attack later

-This went all according to plan...

-Why...why are you trying to kill me?
-And to have planned it out so thoroughly...?

11
-Careful, you'll die from bleeding trying to talk with those wounds!
-The Lundi's black half is disappearing
-Guess that means you're completely out of magic
-Yup, all according to plan

-...oops, there's one more thing I'm forgetting

-GUWAH!!

-You're...collecting his blood?

-If I had to put the reason for all of this in one word,
-I finally found the "place" I belong, you could say

12
-After I met them, my eyes were opened!

-This evening's events were also a part of their "plan"
-I can't let you die a quiet death like this, Bellucchi
-I'm going to make you suffer much, much more

-Who...was it? What are...they planning?
-There's no need to tell you

13
-I had fun this evening
-When you asked me to lend you a hand with those twins, I ended up fighting alongside you
-It was something else!
-Almost as if we had been real friends

-What do you mean, "as if"?!
-To Belle, you're his only true friend!

-I've never felt that way even once

14
-The day that I first spoke to Belluchi...
-I still remember it clearly

-So...would you please be friends with me?
-My name is Georges!!

-The Vice Abbot asked me to do it. I didn't have a choice

15
-Belmonde is always alone down there

-Do me a favor and be his friend!
-B-but he's really creepy
-You are kind, Georges, so i know you can do it

-....I...understand
-But in exchange, I have a favor to ask too
-Okay, what is it?

-Even if it's just once in a while,
-Would you come ...and play with us?

-That way, maybe...he can have a real dad too

-Haha, of course! Everyone here's like family!
-hehe

-Sigh...I really said some immature things...

16
-Surprised?
-Yes...
-You've done well to fool me for over ten years

-Then let me put this straight
-I've always hated your guts

-Fu...
-FUAHAHAHAHAHAA!!

-What's so funny?
-Thanks to you,
-I've just remembered something obvious

17
-I'm the child of a witch and I'm an inquisitor
-By definition, my existence is detested by everyone

-Exactly right
-You've gotten soft lately

-...and now, we can hurt you without hesitation
-Right, Goshissuma?

18
-Bastard, you were saying we were all just bait?!
-What's going on here?

-You came out of it, huh?

-Go back to sleep for good this time
-GUaa!!

-Oh, you can still move?

-You underestimate me!

19
-I'll make you spit out everything about these "plans" of yours!

-Is that right?
-I'm going to enjoy torturing an inquisitor!

white: Who will be torturing who?!

bottom: the 10th act/end
next time: The two clash! There's a tool that can distinguish light from dark?! (t/n - this line is lit. translated cuz im not sure of the meaning. likely it may refer to truth from lies, although i'm not familiar with the use of this word. Basically, belmonde's prob got some new trick up his sleeve)

-end-

Does this mean belmonde will actually make it out of the basement!?
