Belmonde le VisiteuR 14

01
-I am the great kaka-sama! (t/n - the name is kaka, but it is likely a pun. It is lit a sound effect for cackling laughter, but it may also be a pun on the fact that he is a messenger (kakari is role/duty, kakaru may have connotations of taking or handling something for someone else. in the most crude case...well, just look at his hair...))
-I have a message for you from master d'Artagnan!
white: Belmonde has reached the outside world! And then, he finds...!?

-But before that--!
-Let's see what you're made of!

-uheheheheee-!!

02
-Gwapamie (?? any ideas!? obviously pain but...don't understand the suffix)

-You have no right to touch Monseigneur Belmonde!

-Want some more??
-Huh?

03
-Playtime's...
-...over

-Hey now, he doesn't look like he's in any shape to deliver his message anymore
-Ah! O-our sincerest apologies!!
-...Hm? Looks like his mind is wide open

-I see...the message isn't in words,
-I'm supposed to read his memories. What a clever trick...

-Medi, Swirl - put your hands on my back
-That way you can see it too

-I'm not touching you!
-C'mon, Swirl! Now's not the time!

-Ouvrir!

top left: Belmonde's first volume - on sale Friday, 11/2!!
black: Within his memories...a declaration of war!!

-How do you do, Ciene Belmonde?
-My name is Charles d'Artagnan

white: The 14th act - The man on a mission

05
-So this is d'Artagnan

-He's the hero of France who went missing...
-There isn't a person in Paris who doesn't know his face

-The one on the right is a member of the Three Musketeers...
-Portas, i believe

-I wanted to talk to you at least once, the witch-turned-inquisitor
-But, I unfortunately don't have the time to drop by
-So I sent a messenger

-first, I have some news to report
-Your "Penetrating eye"...the one that has the ability to see straight to the truth--

06
-The transfer was a success

-I heard it was an extremely painful ordeal,
-but didn't turn out as bad as the rumors say

-Monseigneur d'Artagnan is lying! He looked like he was going to die!
-I was so worried!!
-Hey Jeanne, that's enough...

-With this, I've also been able to meet the requirement...
-You know, to wield one of the Seven Swords of Creation

07
-I knew it! He was after one of the swords!

-You have the first, Lundi. But its power is useless to me
-So that's why I left it alone

-Right now we bear the name of "The Ocher Cross"
-Although we may seem small,
-We will carry out our mission without fail

08
-Someday we may actually meet face-to-face, but this will have to do for now

-Oh yes, Georges has something to add
-Kaka, look to the right
-He was an invaluable asset for our assault that night

-Salut! How's your wounds, Belluchi?
-I promise you we'll eventually finish our fight

-And I will kill you...so look forward to it, okay?

-...hmph

09
-His goal was the sword after all

-But the question is which one

-A national hero goes missing, seeking the power of the witches...?
-I'm really interested to know what he's after

-The Cardinal fears that whatever it may be, it will threaten the King's safety

10
-I don't care about the safety of this country or Richelieu
-The man who dared to wound me in order to accomplish his ambition...

-I will stop him no matter what

-For taking my eye...he will pay a hundred fold!

11
-And we'll get that eye back

-We even got permission from Richelieu
-to kill d'Artagnan if we deem necessary

-Killing the national hero?
-That'd make me quite a villain
-So what?

-You're a former inquisitor
-And an evil witch! You're already a villain!

-Uh, Medi? Why's this kid ribbing into me?
-WHO YOU CALLIN' A KID?!

-Now, now...
-I'll tell you all about myself and Swirl on the road, so...

12
-Let's leave right away!

-Where are we headed?

-The capital, Paris!

-If we want to find out where d'Artagnan is hiding, we should visit the first six Bastions in order
-However, for more than a century, the 7th Bastion has always been on alert whenever a conflict has broken out

13
-That means we shouldn't try to get into it unless we have proof that d'Artagnan is actually there

-So Paris has something that will serve as evidence?

-Yes. One of The Three Musketeers lives in the capital
-I'm sure Athos knows something that will serve as a lead

-Hmph...
-Interrogation happens to be my specialty

14
-If a man of d'Artagnan's caliber gets ahold of one of the Seven Swords, it will become a huge problem
-We have no time to waste

-Agreed.
-Alright then. Medi, show me how to ride a horse
-HUUH?!
-T-that's right...i-it's your first time...
-Ch...what an ignorant bastard

-I can't believe you, leaving at this time of night...

-It's like you're trying to run away from here!

15
-I thought Richelieu forbade anyone from seeing me off?
-...I just...happened to be taking a walk tonight...

-Please, tell me!! Georges...
-WHY DID GEORGES DO THIS?!

16
-You got me...
-Ngh...

-But I can tell you it was no coincidence that everything happened during your absence

-Are you going to...kill him?
-...I have my orders

-I...I failed to understand his true feelings!
-The one trapped in darkness wasn't Belmonde alone...

-I beg you! Bring Georges back!!
-I have plenty of things to say to him!

17
-Alright
-But I can't make any promises

-...please do

-Belle, can I wait here?

-Sure
-That basement contains my treasured weapon collection
-Make sure none of the kids get their grubby hands on them for me

-...Okay
-I'll wait as long as it takes!

-Well then, I have to go

18
-We're off to Paris!

-I never thought the day would come for Belmonde to set off on a journey...
-I beg you, please...

19
-Bring Georges back safely!!

-Georges, all set?
-Yup

-Then let's go
-What we're after is...

-The 6th Sword, "Samedi!!"
-What power does this sword hold?!

the 14th act/end
Next time: En route to the city, what does Medi have to tell?

-END-

thanks for your patience as always.
I lost power mid-way and had to retype some parts :(
I think it's getting interesting so look forward to next week!
