Panel 2: 1: Dammit... I'm still dizzy from that blow to the head. 2: And it looks like I can't use the Patch Man's power either...
Panel 3: 1: I've gotta do something... Arago: Hey... Matt... are you alright...
Panel 6: 1: What's this? You're awake already... 2: Maybe I should have used a tranquilizer on you after all...
Panel 7: Arago: You bastard...
Page 3: Panel 1: 1: Ames...!!
Panel 2: Ames: Isn't it beautiful? Ames: It's a demon summoning magic circle.
Panel 3: Ames: "Vim Patior." Ames: To achieve the peace of the world of god,
Panel 4: 1: For the sake of my mercilessly bullied, weak students... 2: The stage is prepared.
Panel 5: Grayed: Grayed: Grayed: Arago: You all are... the people I met at the school...
Page 4: Panel 1: Ames: I was given a divine message by god. Ames: "Send the devil back to Hell, Ames: When you do this, I will give you knowledge and power"---I was told.
Panel 2: 1: Humans with evil spirits dwelling within them... 2: God told me that if I kill them, the demons that are running rampant in this world will be exorcised as well.
Panel 3: 1: The magic circle is like a mousetrap for those evil souls. 2: You two will be used as bait to call out a demon
Panel 4: Ames: Tracy's evil spirit was used in the previous ceremony. Ames: Isn't that right? Everyone.
Panel 5: Arago: And Matt's the same... is what you're saying?
Panel 6: Seth: Exactly, bullying, violence, and many other things that he's done have made life miserable for other students. Ames: And my Seth too... right?
Panel 7: Arago: Don't fuck with me... Arago: You're all nuts...
Panel 8: Arago: Whatever you use to try to justify yourselves... a murderer is still just a murderer...
Page 6: Panel 1: Arago: The real devil is you!!!
Panel 2: Ames: Devil? Ames: I am the devil... you say?
Panel 3: Ames: You're quite mistaken...
Page 7: Panel 1: Arago: Auuugh!! 1: What the hell is this power... did he break my legs!?
Panel 2: Ames: I told you, didn't I? This is the power that was bestowed on me. Ames: I am the person chosen by god... And you dare to call me the devil...
Panel 3: 1: It was like the air just exploded... 2: This guy... it can't be that he's got the same power as me...
Panel 4: 1: Me too! 2: Yeah! 3: You're disgusting! 4: Repulsive! 5: Your whole being!!
Panel 5: Ames: The ceremony has started. Ames: Since you're possessed by a demon, the first one to be killed will be you. Ames: For our future work, we can't have you interfering with our divine mission.
Panel 6: Arago: Dammit... Arago: Bastard...
Panel 7: Ames: When evil humans and demons have disappeared, Ames: Then the world will be a beautiful and united place...
Page 7: Panel 1: Rio: This is the MPS!! Rio: Everyone on the ground!! Rio: Put your hands behind your heads!!
Panel 2: Arago: Wh- What the hell!? Arago: Rio!? Old Man Joe!!
Panel 3: Ames: Yooooou!!
Page 8: Panel 3: Joe: Hah!
Panel 4: Joe: I hate guns.
Panel 5: Ames: You, you pawn of the devil!!! Ames: Feel the wrath of heaven!!!
Panel 6: 1: Look out!! Old man!!!
Page 9: Panel 1: Ames: Wha? Ames: Aaah!?
Panel 2: Arago: ....... Joe: ?
Panel 3: Ames: Why!? Why isn't it working!! Ames: God, have you abandoned me!!?
Panel 6: 1: It's not sensei's fault!! Seth: Sensei, run!!
Panel 7: Ames: Aaah! Ames: AAAAAAH!!
Page 10: Panel 1: Joe: Well now, this is becoming a disaster isn't it, Arago? Arago: Old man! Rio! Why are you here? Rio: When you never came back from the toilet, we figured something had happened...
Panel 2: Rio: When we searched the alley there were no signs of life, but we found your radio and light as well as an unusually large number of footprints.
Panel 3: Joe: The cult would naturally choose an abandoned building for carrying out their ritual. Joe: So we just organized parties to search every single abandoned building in the vicinity. Rio: Joe-san, we should save this talk for later!!
Panel 4: Arago: Old man... Arago: Rio...
Panel 5: Joe: Can you stand? Arago: No... My legs are...
Panel 6: 1: Uwaaaaah!!!
Page 11: Panel 2: Ames: How dare you interfere with the sacred ritual, you servants of Satan!!! Ames: I'll kill every last one of you!!!!
Panel 5: 1: I'll be fine, so you two get out of here!! Rio: Shut up!!
Panel 6: Rio: I need to aim properly...
Page 12: Panel 1: Ames: Die!! Ames: Diiiiiieee!!
Page 13: Panel 4: 1: Ames and all of the students have been apprehended. 2: However, the structure of the building has been severely damaged... 3: To be able to shoot out the airbag sensor, you must be really skilled! Rio: No, that's...
Page 14: Panel 2: Arago: You did something unnecessary. Arago: Maybe I got caught on purpose, so I could do something by myself to raise everyone's opinions of me. Rio: You're still saying things like that, even now...
Panel 3: 1: You're not capable of protecting anyone.
Panel 4: Arago: I was mistaken about what I said before. Arago: That time... in the car... Rio: ...Ah. Rio: That.
Panel 5: Rio: I'll never forget that!
Panel 7: Arago: Hey, Rio. Rio: Mm?
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: Thanks... You saved me. Arago: It was all thanks to you.
Panel 3: Rio: Now do you understand how I can protect people without ever having to shoot anyone?
Panel 4: Arago: Shut up! Rio: Aah! You're not introspective at all!! Arago: Hmph.
Page 16: Panel 1: 1: What the, what's this shaking!? 2: The building is collapsing!
Panel 2: Joe: Hurry and leave here!! Arago: Old man, this is--!?
Panel 3: Joe: This building's structure was already weak, Joe: And Ames running his car through it has only made it worse. Joe: Anyway, we have to get out!!
Panel 4: Arage: !!?
Panel 6: Arago: Are you kidding!? We've gotta let get all of the students out too!!
Panel 7: Arago: Ow!!
Panel 9: Rio: Idiot! Get back here!! Your legs are... Rio: Arago!!!
Page 17: Panel 1: 1: From the start, I've been nothing but trouble, I didn't know anything.
Panel 2: 1: As if I can just leave like this!!
Panel 3: Arago: Seth!!!
Panel 4: Rio: Arago----!!!!
Page 18: Panel 3: Arago: Dammit... this...
Panel 5: Seth: Thank goodness... you're alright... Arago: You moron!! What the hell were you thinking, just standing there!?
Panel 7: 1: This... It looks bad...
Page 19: Panel 1: 1: We're completely cut off. 2: What can I do just by myself...
Panel 2: 1: My power's come back... so then, can I save him? But...
Panel 3: 1: No, this isn't the time to be worried about that!! Arago: Just hold on, I'll help you right away!!
Panel 4: 1: ...It's... already too late...
Panel 5: Seth: I can never go back form this... Seth: Tracy and Matt, and you too, I did terrible things to all of you...
Panel 6: Seth: This is... my punishment. Arago: ...Then you're just going to give up and die in the ruins of an abandoned building...!?
Panel 8: Arago: Don't fuck with me!!!
Page 20: Panel 1: Arago: The one at fault was Ames! He's the one who instigated this, right!? Arago: If you can repent, then you can start over...
Panel 2: Arago: You... just like me... can definitely do it.
Panel 3: Seth: There's no way you can lift this!! Arago: I won't know that unless I try, right?
Panel 4: Seth: !!
Panel 5: Arago: I'm just one of those people that has incredible strength in disaster situations. Arago: But don't tell anybody...
Panel 6: Seth: You really are a good person... Seth: You are...
Page 21: Panel 1: Seth: However...
Panel 2: Arago: Y- You idiot!! Arago: If you touch me...
Panel 5: Seth: Well then, there aren't any survivors? Seth: Mr. Policeman.
Page 22: Panel 5: Arago: Why... this power... it's the same as Ames's... Arago: Could it be, you're...
Panel 6: 1: It really is "Erin's Treasure", 2: The thing that you hold...
Page 23: Panel 1: Arago: Erin? Treasure? Arago: What are you talking about...
Panel 2: Seth: You didn't know? Seth: That is the true nature of the power that you detest so much.
Panel 3: Seth: Erin's treasure is one of the"Brionac", (T/N: "Brionac", according to the Seiken Densetsu, is the spear of Lugh, one of the mystical warriors that appear in the Irish mythology of Tuatha De Danaan.) Seth: For one like me, it is very appropriate---

ARAGO Chapter 10 Translation
Page 1: Upper right: Chapter 10: The Second Case
Left side: The rough trio heads out!!
Lower left corner (vertical): The highly anticipated first volume
Bottom left (horizontal): Will be released on March 18th!!
Page 2: Panel 1: 1: A few days ago in the early morning, a student from this school by the name of Tracy Ryan was murdered. Box: ---London--- Crest Green High School 2: We were wondering if anyone had noticed the young lady in the company of any suspicious people recently, 3: Or if anything else of concern has happened lately?
Right side (vertical): Arago and the other continue their investigation of the cult case...
Panel 2: 1: Oh, Tracy. It was really upsetting what happened to her, huh. 2: But, I think there are probably a lot more people who are relieved she's gone.
Panel 3: 1: Her group was always singling out people to bully. 2: They were always doing terrible things to all of the underclassmen.
Panel 4: 1: She was a nasty person. 2: She just got what was coming to her.
Page 3: Panel 1: Rio: So the deceased wasn't a very well-liked person, huh. Joe: At any rate, they definitely had a problem with the way she acted.
Panel 2: Joe: And where is Arago? Rio: Huh!?
Panel 3: Arago: Don't try to hide anything from me!!
Panel 4: Arago: If you know anything about this girl, Arago: You'd better tell me everything...
Page 4: Panel 2: Rio: Don't go around threatening children! Arago: I'm not threatening 'em, I'm questioning them!!
Panel 3: 1: ...I'm gonna go then. Arago: Hey, I'm still talking...!!
Right side: ((the story so far))
Panel 4: Arago; Don't smack me with the file! Rio: What the hell is your big hurry? Calm down, would you!!
Panel 5: Ames: What's going on out here?
Page 5: Panel 1: Ames: Ah, so the one involved in that case really was... Ames: I'm in charge of the history department here, my name is Ames.
Panel 2: Ames: I'm sorry, my students haven't been very helpful to you. Joe: No, quite the opposite I should say.
Left side (vertical): Top Box: Character Info: Below: Arago Hunt. After the Patch Man's surgery, he now has part of his older brother Ewan's body and a strange power in his hand. Succeeding his older brother's will, he became a police officer, and has now been selected to become a detective for the criminal investigations department.
Panel 4: Arago: This guy has creepy hobbies... Joe: That's an amazing picture.
Panel 5: Ames: It's Michael Pacher’s "Saint Augustine and the Devil" Ames: It's a replica. Joe: The devil...
Page 6: Panel 1: 1: That's quite a rare painting you have there. 2: Having both the subject of "Sin" and the devil represented, that makes it especially so.
Panel 2: Ames: Detective, the devil, no, Ames: Do you believe in the existence of God?
Panel 3: Joe: Unfortunately, I'm an atheist, so... Joe: With a job like mine, I've just sort of turned out that way. You know?
Right side (vertical) #1: Top Box: Character Info: Below: Joe Sullivan. A skirt-chasing assistant inspector from the detective section. He has a high opinion of Arago.
Right side (vertical) #2: Top Box: Character Info: Below: Rio Butler. Arago's childhood friend. She's a police officer from the special firearms department.
Panel 4: Ames: Is that how it is?
Panel 5: 1: ......
Panel 6: Ames: Tracy Ryan's case is unusually terrible. Ames: Everyone is quite saddened by it.
Page 7: Panel 1: Joe: It seems that she was a student with a history of trouble. Ames: That's not the case.
Panel 2: Ames: She was an excellent student.
Panel 3: 1: Ames... There's something off about him.
Panel 4: 1: But a sense of guilt or a guilty conscience... 2: I can't pick up any distinctly bad feelings from him right now.
Panel 5: SFX: Knock Knock 1: Ames-sensei.
Panel 6: Ames: I'm sorry, but it's time for my class. Joe: It's fine, thank you for your help.
Panel 7: 1: Is Ames innocent... 2: I wonder...
Page 9: Panel 1: Joe: Sensei, just one last thing.
Panel 2: Joe: Is this picture a depiction of god?
Panel 4: Ames: No, the person in the center is unusually divine in appearance however, it is Satan... the King of Demons. Ames: That is William Blake's "Satan Arousing the Rebel Angels".
Panel 5: 1: Blake? Where have I...
Panel 6: Ames: I don't like it, devils should always be portrayed as very unsightly in paintings.
Panel 8: Joe: Satan... Joe: A god who fell from heaven, a fallen angel who had to bear great oppression...
Page 9: Panel 1: Joe: It would have to be "Vim Patior", right sensei?
Panel 3: Arago: So you thought so too!? Rio: And why is that?
Panel 4: Joe: "Vim Patior" Joe: That's the message that was left at the scene of the crime. Joe: If he was innocent, he wouldn't have reacted.
Panel 5: Arago: Well then, let's go arrest him!! Joe: It's too soon for that.
Panel 6: 1: We can't arrest someone based only on our intuition. However, there's a high probability that he has some kind of connection to the cult. 2: And it is very likely that they will attempt to perform such a ritual murder again. 3: We should just keep an eye on him and catch him in the act.
Page 11: Panel 1: Arago: All this sitting and waiting really isn't my thing.
Panel 2: Arago: I say we just take him out. Rio: And you're a detective? What the heck...
Panel 3: Arago: Hah! Apparently I'm not cut out to be a detective anyway...
Panel 4: Rio: ...... Rio: What?
Panel 5: Rio: Wai-- Rio: Arago!?
Panel 6: Rio: What do you think you're doing! Rio: Sto...!!
Page 12: Panel 1: Rio: Gi- give that back!! Arago: A shoulder holster makes the grip accessible for others, so it's easy to snatch the gun away. Arago: And it takes longer for you to be able to draw the gun too.
Panel 2: Arago: Especially in your case, since those breasts of your would get in the way, right?
Panel 3: Rio: !? Se- sexual harassment!!
Panel 4: Arago: The one doing the sexual harassment is old man Joe, isn't it!! Rio: It's fine when it's Joe-san! Arago: How the hell is that!!
Panel 5: SFX: Grrrr...
Panel 6: SFX: Muuu...
Panel 7: Arago: Argh! Whatever! You go home! I'm serious!! Arago: I'll go home when my guard duty is over!
Panel 8: Arago: Guard duty? Don't make me laugh. Arago: In reality, have you ever actually shot a person before?
Panel 9: Rio: ...I, I haven't but. Arago: Hah! It's no wonder you're so amateurish.
Page 13: Panel 1: Arago: You're not capable of protecting anybody.
Panel 2: Rio: You, saying something like that to me...!!
Panel 3: Joe: Hey there, I hope I didn't keep you waiting. Joe: Any movement from Ames? Rio: Eh, ah...
Panel 4: Rio: He's still inside the school. Rio: His car is still in the parking lot too. Joe: So it's a battle of attrition then, eh.
Panel 5: Rio: Arago, where are you going!? You can't just go off and do things on your own!!
Panel 6: Arago: I'm going to the toilet. Arago: You wanna come along?
Panel 8: Rio: Hurry up and go! Idiot!! Arago: Yeah, yeah.
Page 14: Panel 2: SFX: Haa Arago: I gotta be patient. Arago: I gotta be patient...
Panel 3: Arago (Grayed): The thing that did all this to this person was no human. ...It was a demon... 1: Handling all his contempt, and still doing the right thing. ...and then there's that too.
Panel 4: Arago: Everyone around me lately are flesh and blood humans, Arago: There's been no reason to use the Patch Man's power.
Panel 3: Rio: Arago's taking an awfully long time, isn't he.
Page 18: Panel 1: Arago: Ugh...
Panel 2: Arago: Dammit... Arago: They caught me off guard...
Panel 3: Arago: I just gotta get loose from this...
Panel 4: Arago: ...huh? My power is... Arago: The light... won't come out...
Panel 5: Arago: ...Matt!
Panel 6: Arago: ...What the, Arago: All of you...
Right side (vertical): With power he depends on blocked, Arago's in a dire pinch!! The next issue will be center color with 23 pages!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/xalsow/releases/20269Translation: AR∀GO 92010-02-26T18:13:16+00:00Xalsowadmin@mangahelpers.comFor use in English by Simple Scans only!

ARAGO Ch 9 Translation
Page 1: Top right corner: Breaking into a new episode! The extremely popular police action!!
Center: The power to curse... Where will this power lead me!?
Bottom right corner: Chapter 9: Vim Patior
Left Side (vertical): News flash!! Volume 1 will be on sale starting March 18th!!
Page 2: Panel 1: Larry: According to an eyewitness, one hour before the body was discovered, a single car was seen fleeing from the scene of the crime. Larry: However they couldn't provide us with any particular identifying characteristics.
Panel 2: Larry: So we also want to canvass the neighbourhood's residents for possible information. Larry: If someone... SFX: Fuun! Overwriting: Arago eagerly volunteers!?
Panel 3: Larry: Booth, you go. Booth: Got it.
Panel 4: Larry: Lee, you check in with the victim's associates. Larry: Carnes, the combination lock code--
Panel 5: Larry: That's all. Everybody get to work.
Panel 6: Arago: H- hey! What about me!? Larry: Huh? So you were here.
Page 3: Panel 1: Arago: I want to do something too!! I'll definitely be helpful!! Arago: Let me participate in the investigation!! Larry: There aren't any jobs I can entrust to a snot-nosed brat like you.
Panel 2: Larry: Until I come up with a job like that, why don't you go make enough coffee for the actual investigation team. 2: Let's go, Larry.
Panel 3: Arago: Hey!! Larry: I'm too busy for this, so we're finished talking!!
Panel 4: 1: I really can't stomach that Cockney accent of his. 2: Yeah, he just exudes his ill-breeding. 3: He's completely inappropriate for the CID. 4: Recommending a guy like that, what on earth was Joe thinking?
Panel 5: 1: Well, Joe is the kind of guy that you never know what's going on in his head anyway. 2: He probably just used his family connections.
Page 4: Right side: ((the story so far))
Panel 1: Arago: Damn shitheads!!!!
Panel 2: Arago: That bastard Larry, ever since Braem's case he's been completely leaving me out of every investigation!!
Panel 3: Arago: And the old man Joe too... Arago: Lately he's always disappearing somewhere, and I never even see his face...
Panel 4: 1: I'm entrusting you with my life. 2: Don't waste it.
Panel 5: Arago: If this is how it was gonna end up being, then why the hell did I bother joining the CID!?
Panel 6: Arago: !!!
Panel 7: Arago; Uwegh!!! SFX: Pitu! Pitu!
Page 5: Panel 1: Arago: Aaah... I did it again. 1: What happens if it comes in contact with this "power" for even a moment,
Panel 2: 1: I've gradually come to understand it a little better. 2: I can use it for spotting ghosts, catching falling lifts, and stopping blows.
Panel 3: Arago: It doesn't affect metal or plastic at all for some reason. 1: But for everything else, the rule is different, it seems.
Panel 4: 1: Anything that comes in direct contact with my body... 2: It rots, withers, is damaged, or gets altered somehow. 3: That's not the worst thing about it though, 4: The main ability of this curse is that it reacts to anything living, stealing away the light that represents their life.
Panel 5: 1: Yeah, it looks like this is the true form of the Patch Man's cursed power.
Left side (vertical): Top Box: Character Info: Below: Arago Hunt. After the Patch Man's surgery, he now has part of his older brother Ewan's body and a strange power in his hand. Succeeding his older brother's will, he became a police officer, and has now been selected to become a detective for the criminal investigations department.
Page 6: Panel 1: 1: Thanks to that guy, my life's goals, 2: Even things I do in ordinary life have become inconvenient, jeez... SFX: Sigh
Panel 3: 1: Hey, Seth!! 2: Seth Stalinger!! 3: What're you doing in a place like this? You haven't been coming to school either. 4: We thought you were dead!
Panel 4: 1: Me too, I thought you just couldn't stand the bullying!! SFX: Gya ha ha! SFX: Ha ha ha! 2: And you wanna quit school!
Panel 5: 1: William Blake? 2: Ah, how boring.
Panel 6: 1: Yo, it's been a while!!
Page 7: Panel 1: Arago: Who'da thought we'd run into each other here!! Arago: It's me!!!
Panel 2: 1: What the? Who the hell are you!? Arago: Aw, you're making me feel bad---
Panel 3: Arago: But whatever. This is right in full view of the police station, you know? Arago: You might wanna pick a better spot for a shakedown.
Panel 4: Arago: Boy!!!
Panel 5: Arago: Let's see, Matt? You're a high schooler, huh. 1: My wallet!!
Panel 6: Arago: Brats like you should go home already!
Page 8: Panel 1: 1: Die!! You damned policeman!!!
Panel 2: SFX: Snort
Panel 3: Arago: And as for you, I don't know what kind of trouble you're in but, Arago: You should go home quickly.
Panel 4: Seth: "A person who loves others as he loves himself does not exist." Seth: William Blake said that but, Seth: It seems like you're different.
Panel 5: Seth: That was an interesting way of policing. Seth: Thank you very much for saving me.
Page 9: Panel 4: Joe: Ah, Arago. Is the detective's room empty right now? Arago: Old man Joe?
Panel 5: Arago: Sorry, but I'm actually outside right now...
Panel 6: Arago: Huh? Where'd that kid go? SFX: Turn Turn Joe: Just a moment ago, some information on a case came in to the CID.
Panel 7: Joe: It looks like a pretty complicated murder case. Joe: And since everyone else is already out...
Page 10: Panel 1: Joe: Do you want to accompany me to the scene of the crime?
Right side (vertical): Top Box: Character Info: Below: Joe Sullivan. A skirt-chasing assistant inspector from the detective section. He has a high opinion of Arago.
Panel 2: Arago: I- I'll go!! I'll definitely go!! Please take me with
you!! Joe: Ha ha ha, that's a good spirit.
Panel 3: 1: The victim is Tracy Ryan, 17 years old. 2: She's a student at Sixth Form high school. 3: The one who discovered the body was one of the homeless squatters living in this abandoned building. 4: I see, I see...
Panel 4: 1: Everyone says to/wants to just leave such a case up to you. 2: It's your turn, Joe-san. Small bubble: ha ha
Panel 5: 1: Our turn?
Panel 6: Arago: What the heck is this?
Page 11: Panel 1: 1: Devil worship... 2: A cult ritual, it seems. 3: Cult? 4: A cult religion is a sociopathic religious group, so to speak.
Panel 2: Arago: A magic circle? Joe: You're well informed.
Panel 3: Arago: No, I've just seen something kinda like this in a book before...
Panel 4: 1: It's a demon summoning circle. 2: The two summoners would have been standing on the triangles inside of the circle. 3: And then the demon would be summoned into and restricted to the triangle that's outside of the circle.
Panel 5: 1: The grimoire used was "The Key of Solomon". 2: No, maybe it was Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal". Arago thought: Old man Joe really knows a lot about this stuff, huh.
Page 12: Panel 1: Joe: Sociopathic conduct... Joe: Inspires repulsion from many people... Joe: It might be a message.
Panel 2: Joe: Vim Patior... Joe: The Latin meaning is... Joe: "Unending suffering."
Panel 3: Arago: Suffering...
Panel 4: 1: It is currently 9:41 AM, 2: We are now beginning the autopsy of Tracy Ryan.
Panel 5: 1: There are many external wounds caused by a sharp instrument. 2: It appears as though the cause of death was due to massive blood loss. 3: Furthermore, there is a gunshot wound to the chest.
Panel 6: 1: The bones of the extremities appear to have been broken using a blunt weapon. Joe: !
Page 13: Panel 1: Joe: Are you feeling sick? The toilet is just out in the hall... Arago: No... I'm fine.
Panel 2: Joe: It's difficult, huh. Joe: After witnessing their first autopsy, newcomers always end up puking.
Panel 3: Arago: I do feel bad. ...it makes me sick to my stomach.
Panel 4: Arago: Old man, I'm fine with seeing all kinds of horrible things but, Arago: The thing that did all this to this person was no human. ...It was a demon...
Panel 6: Joe: Things like demons don't actually exist. Joe: This is just the work of a human who is like a demon.
Page 14: Panel 1: Joe: Right?
Panel 2: Arago: ......
Panel 5: 1: First, let's check out the high school the victim was attending. 2: There may be some clues there. 3: Gotcha!!
Panel 6: Joe: Oh, you're certainly all fired up, aren't you? Arago: Of course!! This is exactly the kind of work someone in the CID should be doing!!
Panel 7: 1: Whether it was a monster, or it was a human... 2: The kind of people that would do such a thing, there's no way I'm gonna leave them alone to do as they please.
Panel 8: 1: It's finally come around, now it's my turn!! Joe: Hey there, thanks for your hard work.
Page 15: Panel 2: Rio: Thank you very much!
Panel 3: Arago: Rio!? Why are you here!? Joe: From the state of the victim's remains, it's very likely that the culprit possesses a gun.
Panel 4: Joe: Since we plainclothes officers usually don't deal with this kind of serious case, we don't carry guns, so I've asked Rio-chan to help us out this time. Rio: Please take good care of me.

Succeeding his older brother's will, he became a police officer, and has now been selected to become a detective for the criminal investigations department.
Page 6: Panel 1: SFX: Sliiiide!
Right side (vertical): Top Box: Character Info: Below: Rio Butler. Arago's childhood friend. She's a police officer from a special department.
Panel 3: SFX: Haa... SFX: Haa Arago: Just made it...
Panel 4: SFX: Creak...
Panel 5: Rio: Arago, are you okay!? You shouldn't have done something so reckless!! That was completely reckless!! Arago: Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. It was nothing.
Panel 6: Arago: And you, managing to hang on like that for so long. Rio: Yeah, I can't even lift my arms now.
Panel 7: Rio: It was lucky you managed to figure out that I was the real one. Rio: I'm so glad.
Page 7: Panel 1: Arago: You have a little better opinion of me now?

Panel 7: Arago: Where the hell is the real Rio, huh!?
Page 8: Panel 2: Arago: The real one doesn't have such a glittering aura, you're really trying to keep me from looking behind...
Panel 3: Arago: Right!!?
Page 9: Panel 3: Rio: Aaah... Rio: No, no way...
Panel 4: Arago: I already knew. Arago: That both of you were fakes without even asking!!
Panel 5: Rio: How, how could you know that!? Rio: Our transformation should have been perfect!! Arago: "Time will provide the answer."
Panel 6: Rio: Time?
Page 10: Panel 1: Arago: It was the blood, the blood that was soaking though Rio's bandage. Arago: Over time, the blood should have dried and become darker. Arago: But on your bandage, the blood was always bright red. Arago: Because you copied the Rio that I last remembered...
Panel 2: Arago: Trying to be too exact backfired, didn't it? SFX: Guh...
Panel 3: Arago: It was a pretty clever trick, both reading my mind at the same time to match both of their appearances and their words, right? Arago: From the start, when you called me from Rio's cell phone, you were both already fakes.
Panel 4: 1: That's far enough!! 2: Unless you don't care what happens to that woman!

Panel 3: 1: If you die, the woman will be saved... 2: And you'll give us your power.

(T/N: The kanji used for "Patch Man" here literally translates to "The King of Town".) 2: You don't know that power's value. You're completely unqualified to even handle it!!
Panel 5: Arago: Ah, how worthless. Arago: This thing, I'd love to be able to get rid of it, but... SFX: Za! Za!
Panel 6: 1: Hey! Weren't you listening? That woman's life...!! Arago: Sorry but this thing is just a cross that I must bear.
Panel 7: Arago: Whether you pray or cling to something else, nothing will help you now. Arago: I will use this cross with all my might to dig all the guys like you out of every corner you hide in.
Page 12: Panel 1: 1: Uwah! SFX: Bashi!
Panel 2: Arago: Idiot! Rio can't see anything right now. SFX: Pashi Pashi Arago: This power, if I wanna use it, I can use it as much as I like, right?
Panel 3: 1: Even if you kill me, you'll never accomplish anything! 2: My companions will keep coming, one after another!!
Panel 4: Arago: Then let 'em come!! I'm not gonna run or hide!! Arago: But you know, if you're gonna involve people other than me, then... Arago: You'd better be prepared to deal with the consequences!!!!
Panel 5: 1: Ca- can you hit this face!? SFX: Gunya... 2: Your dead older bother's face!!
Page 13: Panel 2: Arago: Ewan didn't have that kind of sleaze-bag face. Arago: You bastard!!
Panel 3: SFX: Para para Arago: Ah.
Panel 4: Arago: I already beat the crap out of him, but I coulda used him for more info about his buddies... Arago: Well, whatever. Arago: It'd be too troublesome---

Panel 3: 1: Even now... it's like I can still feel his touch...
Panel 4: Joe: Yo, Rio-chan! SFX: Rub! Rio SFX: Zawa Zawa Outside: Gasp! Rio: Hold on!!
Panel 5: 1: Hey, Arago Hunt! 2: On Braem's case, you though you beat me, didn't you!! Arago: No, I didn't really...

Panel 7: SFX: Tch! Arago: Yeah, yeah. Thanks for your hard work...

Panel 4: Rio: Bu- but don't misunderstand. It's only because Joe-san told me to tell you that. Rio: I don't really... Arago: Thank god, it's the usual Rio.
Panel 5: Rio: _ Arago: ......
Panel 6: Arago: What the heck, you're in a good mood today, huh. Rio: Yeah, a little.
Panel 7: Arago: I had a really nice dream. SFX: Sniff
Panel 8: Arago: Ugweh, what the hell is this coffee!? Rio: Do you really hate it? Arago: Who the hell can drink something this bitter!!
Page 17: Panel 1: Rio: But Ewan used to like it. Rio: That's what my seniors told me.
Panel 2: Rio: Just take a sip. Arago: One sip?
Panel 4: Arago: ...Huh? I'm surprised. Rio: Right!? Arago: Yeah, the bitterness is kind of like a chocolate bar...
Panel 5: 1: The coffee that Ewan liked, I like it too--- Arago: Yeah, it's not bad, this firearm's division coffee.
Panel 6: Rio: Is it making your tongue a little more like an adult's? Arago: Leave me alone. SFX: Fu fu...
Panel 7: 1: "Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life." 2: Joseph Conrad Outside1: Oh! Outside2: Joe-san!! Joe: It really is the truth.

ARAGO Chapter 7 Translation
Page 1: Top text (red, above series logo): It's popularity continues to grow! A super suspense police action!!
Center text (red/white): This town's peace and order, we'll protect it!
Chapter title (bottom right corner): Chapter 7: True Colors
Page 2: Panel 1: 1: The drug dealer Braem didn't commit suicide... 2: Is there really the possibility that it was murder?
Panel 2: Joe: Yeah.
Panel 3: Joe: By the time he died his heart had already stopped, and therefore so had his blood flow. But you already knew that, right? Arago: Don't be stupid, how could I...
Panel 4: Joe: However, blood flow may have stopped at the location of the injury but Joe: The blood and the other body fluids will still slowly flow inside the body even after death.
Panel 5: Joe: Because of that effect, if a person was injured just prior to their death, a bruise will rise to the surface of the skin about 24 hours later on the corpse. Arago: And Braem's remains have those?
Panel 6: Joe: Yeah, bruises that couldn't be discovered at the time the body was found.
Left Side (vertical): The one who said he was "being chased by Ewan", the deceased Braem...
Page 3: Panel 1: Arago: So time gave us the answer... Joe: Exactly.
Panel 2: Joe: In particular, the injury he has on the inside of his forearm would have been hard to cause, which hints towards murder as well. Joe: It looks like a continuing investigation is needed.
Right side: ((The story so far.))
Panel 4: SFX: Sigh... 1: Braem's report, that Ewan was chasing him--- 2: It wasn't a suicide, the possibility of murder...
Panel 5: Arago: Somehow, it still gives me a bad feeling. SFX: Vrrr
Panel 6: 1: Rio? SFX: Yesh... (talking with his mouth full...) Rio: Arago!? Ewan is--!!!
Page 4: Panel 1: Rio: Ewan is still alive!!!
Panel 2: Arago: Hey... Rio, are you drunk or somethin'? Rio: Don't worry about that, just hurry up and come!! Rio: The location is---
Panel 3: SFX1: Beeeep SFX2: Beeeep...
Panel 5: 1: What the hell was that? That call from Rio just now... 2: Ewan is alive? There's no way!!
Panel 6: 1: I have a bad feeling about this... SFX: Haa SFX: Haa
Page 6: Panel 1: Arago: Rio!! Get away from that guy!!!
Panel 2: Rio: Eh, Arago? Arago: What the hell are you, you bastard!?
Panel 3: Arago: You probably thought it'd be a clever disguise, but Ewan doesn't have a right arm...
Panel 4: Ewan: My right arm...
Panel 5: Ewan: Yes, that's right...
Left side (vertical): Top Box: Character Info: Below: Arago Hunt. After the Patch Man's surgery, he now has part of his older brother Ewan's body and a strange power in his hand.

Page 7: Panel 2: SFX: Grpp...
Panel 3: Ewan: Rio... Ewan: I'd like to talk to Arago alone, please.
Panel 6: Ewan: Since we were attacked by the Patch Man... Ewan: It seems like I ended up with the same strange power that you have in my hand...
Panel 7: Ewan: Thanks to you, literally, Ewan: I was resurrected from the cemetery as a result, I guess.
Page 8: Panel 1: Ewan: That scar was my pride... SFX: Flinch!
Panel 2: Ewan: My face, Ewan: Have you forgotten it already?
Panel 3: 1: Ewan's light... ...a beautiful light. 2: That day, that light's just the same as the last time I saw it...
Right side: Top Box: Character Info: Below: Joe Sullivan. A skirt-chasing assistant inspector from the detective section. He has a high opinion of Arago.
Panel 2: Ewan: Outta my way!!
Panel 4: SFX: Da!! Arago: Rio, that guy's a fake!!
Panel 5: Rio: Eh!? A fake, you say... Rio: Wait, Arago!!
Panel 6: SFX: Haa SFX: Haa Arago: Dammit, where the hell did he go? Arago: That bastard's really fast at running away... Rio SFX: Haa Rio: What was that, and what do you mean he's a fake?
Page 12: Panel 1: Rio: It looked like Ewan's face was melting... Rio: Was it just my imagination? SFX: Haa Haa... Rio: Could it be, Ewan's doppelganger? ...No, a shape-shifter--!?
Panel 2: Arago: A monster that can change itself into anything. Arago: Appearing as Ewan, it looks like it was getting us to let our guard down.
Panel 3: Arago: I see, so the intention was to duplicate Ewan's face! Rio: ? ? Arago: So he tested it by approaching Braem, who knew Ewan's face, and then killed him!
Panel 4: Arago: It's definitely from inside our heads!! Arago: Yeah, so he read's a person's memories in order to find the shape he'll change into...!!

Page 13: Panel 1: Rio: I feel like I might be a little feverish... Rio: Can you check?
Panel 3: Arago: Qu, Quit teasing me!! Arago: At a time like this!!
Panel 5: Rio: Hey... Rio: Why so you make such a point of avoiding contact with people?
Page 14: Panel 1: Rio: Earlier, even with my group's senior... Rio: I really might have no room to talk, but being like that is not a good thing.
Panel 2: Arago: I, I was just...
Panel 3: Rio: "Why did you become something like a police officer", somehow you seemed kind of said when you asked me that... Arago: So, I was just... That, you were--!!
Panel 4: Arago: Like you getting hurt... It's really dangerous, and... and then... Rio: You know, Arago.
Panel 5: Rio: People are always comparing you with Ewan, so you might be facing a lot of unpleasant things, but... Rio: I'm actually watching the things that you do yourself.
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: Wha... what the hell... Arago: That's kind of creepy... Rio: But you're amazing, aren't you? Aren't all the people from the CID that stars of Scotland Yard? Rio: You don't get to join them just because you want to.
Panel 2: Rio: Suddenly becoming a guy that's just like Ewan is impossible. Rio: You don't have to go through the effort of making a good show of it.

Panel 3: Ayane: Yesterday, what were you talking about with Kazehaya-kun that caused such an atmosphere!? Outside: Spill it now!! Chizuru: L...looming over her like that, your image is just like Chizuru: A bully...!! Outside: Yano-chin...!!
Page 122: Panel 1: Ayane: ...So then Ayane: You're saying this kind of thing has happened with Kazehaya twice now? Imagination bubble 1: I thought that among all the young guys here I was the closest to you, though Imagination bubble 2: Oh, actually just forget about the other day!! Chizuru thought: Kazehaya... you got frustrated, huh...
Panel 2: Ayane: Why didn't you just give Kazehaya the chocolates on Valentine's in the first place, Sawako!? Ayane: You two had such a good atmosphere going until then!! Sawako: Uh!
Panel 3: Sawako SFX: Ah, ah... Ayane: You went through a lot of effort to get to go to the first shrine visit of the New Year with him, didn't you? Ayane: As a thank you for that, giving him some chocolate should be completely normal, right? Ayane: He even gave you his cell phone's contact address, didn't he!? Ayane: You know, meeting up with him, or handing him your chocolates, if it came down to making an excuse you should have made as many as you wanted!!
Panel 2: SFX: Dowa! (The sound of her abrupt weeping... what have they used before? I'm too lazy to look it up.) 1: Gyah!!
Panel 3: Chizuru: Hold on... Yano-chin, Give her a break (Small: Come on!) Ayane: Eeeh!? What!? Me!? (Small: Are you serious!?) Ayane: Hold on, Sawako!! I'm not making fun of you, so!! (Small: Don't cry!!) Outside SFX: Defense weeping---! Sawako: Th... That's not...!! Small Outside: Uwaaaah

Panel 2: Sawako: And calling him Sawako: ...I absolutely can't do that either
Panel 3: Sawako: I'm thinking about it too much by myself Sawako: ...I can't even greet him properly
Panel 4: Sawako: ...I'm scared... 1: I'm embarrassed 2: I didn't want to he hated

Panel 2: Ayane: You're not the only one who's scared though, Sawako
Panel 4: Ayane: After what he said earlier, you know, Ayane: In the current situation you could really, truly just forget about it and not say anything Ayane: But if you do that, then this will continue forever, and nothing will ever change!
Page 126: Panel 1: Ayane: If you want to change the current situation, then you're going to have to change it yourself. Ayane: Sawako.
Panel 2: Chizuru: ...Of course, there's always the possibility that if do it wrong you might end up making the situation worse, though...(Small: Aha...) SFX: Sigh---- Outside small with arrow: Remembering her last love Ayane: So... sorry Chizu, but joining in on that conversation just now became a little too complex, so... Small outside: I'm really sorry...
Panel 4: Chizuru: I'll say. You completely for got about me, huh... Chizuru: Love is way too complicated... Small outside: But I guess it can't be helped... Ayane: No, it's just because the conversation got complicated, Chizu... (small: Really... I'm sorry...) Sawako: ......

Panel 4: Ryuu: What's she taking about? (Small: That.) Chizuru outside: I...I'm not sure but Chizuru: I wonder if this is the best way to handle this...
Panel 5: Kaze: I am not avoiding her!! Kaze outside: What are you talking about!! Ayane: Somehow I don't believe it when you say that. Ayane: If you're not, then it certainly seems that way from how you're acting!
Page 129: Panel 1: Ayane: She's so used to being alone, that girl Ayane: It was just a misunderstanding, so don't give up on her!
Panel 3: Ayane: See ya! Chizuru: Hey, hold on, Chizuru: Yano-chiiiiin! Outside: Wait up! What's wrong with you?

Page 130: Panel 1: Ayane: The truth is that I do feel a little bit bad for Kazehaya too, but you know--- Outside: It's pissing me off! Chizuru: Eh? Why do you feel bad for him?
Panel 2: Ayane: Eh... because the girl he really likes, it looks like he's become scared to interact with her. (Small: Still, you have to admit it's pitiful...) Chizuru: EH!? Kazehaya has a girl he likes!?
Panel 3: Chizuru: ?
Panel 4: Outside: You- Chizuru: You're in a pinch...! Chizuru: Sawako...!!
Panel 5: Chizuru: B- but you know, Yano-chin! Kazehaya still cares about Sawako though! Chizuru: Even just yesterday...! Outside: Awawawawa... Outside 2: But maybe he just did that out of some sense of responsibility or something---- Ayane: Hold on, Ayane: Just hold on a minute, Chizu!
Page 131: Panel 1: Chizuru: The person that Kazehaya likes is Sawa...!! SFX: Mgrphf! (muffled) Ayane: Keep your voice down!!
Panel 2: Chizuru: Then what's the problem!? Ayane: I'm not saying it's a problem!! (Small: And I never did!!)
Panel 3: Chizuru: That's great then!! I'm gonna go tell him!! Outside: Kazehaya---! Good news--!! Ayane: Hold it right there!!
Panel 4: Ayane: Do you think Ayane: Kazehaya is the kind of person who will be happy if we interfere? Chizuru: N- Chizuru: Now that you mention it...
Page 132: Panel 1: Chizuru: Even back in junior high!! Chizuru: Wait-- Kazehaya-- Eri actually likes you, you know-- Outside: It was a favor-- She asked me to tell you-- With arrow, above Chizuru's head: One who was being used by Kurumi at the time Kazehaya: (Small: Again?) Stop teasing me. Chizuru: (Small: Nope) It's true, another one. Next to Kazehaya's head: Since winter's coming on, baseball practice is already wearing me out.
Panel 2: Outside: Dead Serious Kazehaya: Then why doesn't Yoshida come and tell me that herself?
Panel 3: Small 1: ....And that's what he said, so Small 2: Waaaah!! Small 3: How terrible, Eri-chan!! Chizuru: Uwah, just as you said!! Outside: He's completely unmovable! Chizuru: Just as you thought!! Chizuru: It's no good, no good! Even if we talk to Kazehaya!! Chizuru: If we say that Sawako asked us to explain that it was just a misunderstanding, his opinion of her will hit rock bottom!!
Panel 4: Chizuru: Then, I'm gonna go tell Sawako to confess!! Outside: Sawako--!! Good news---! Ayane: Hold it right there!!
Panel 5: Ayane: Chizu
Panel 6: Ayane: Didn't you have someone try that for you, and have it turn out badly? (Small: You should know that better than anyone!!) Chizuru: Uh!
Page 133: Panel 1: Chizuru: That, I guess that's true, but... it's Sawako though Ayane: Exactly, this is Sawako!
Panel 2: Ayane: If we tell Sawako, and force her to confess, then they might start socializing again, however Ayane: Do you really think it would work out that way? Ayane: Even now, doesn't she get freaked out in regards to Kazehaya sometimes?
Panel 3: 1: Such a thing... 2: Even if she actually said "Go out with me" to him, that doesn't mean they'd actually start dating anyway. 3: And nothing would change from the way it is now 4: ...I, you know
Panel 4: Ayane: Sawako is kind of strange in that way, she tends to feel so inferior that she thinks no one would want to socialize with her Ayane: So that why I think that by herself, she's trying to fix the problem, she's trying to confess, and she wants to do it on her own.
Panel 5: Ayane: ...even if it's unpleasant
Page 134: Panel 1: Ayane: It just has to be the case that they both like each other, and yet both of them think that the other wouldn't accept their confession.
Panel 2: Chizuru: ...Yeah... Chizuru: ......
Panel 3: Chizuru: Knowing her, even if we tell Sawako that Kazehaya likes her, she wouldn't believe it anyway, it seems... Ayane: Ah, That's true...
Panel 4: Chizuru thought: ...And there's another thing...
Panel 5: Chizuru thought: ...Yesterday...!! Outside 1: Compared to Sawako? Have you really not noticed!? Outside 2: Me or Yano-chin or even Ryuu would be closer to Sawako probably Outside 3: You're probably the one farthest from her!! With arrow: Said that without thinking Chizuru thought: ...I had no idea what he was asking about...!! (Small: Could it be, that was about Sawako's feelings!?) Outside under: Did I end up saying something really dangerous!?
Panel 6: Ayane: (Huh?) What happened with Kazehaya yesterday? (Small: Did you say something just now?) SFX: Dokiiiiii! (Loud heartbeat/fear)
Panel 7: Chizuru: EH!? Chizuru: Yesterday!? Kazehaya!? Chizuru: I- I have no idea what you're talking about!! Outside: No way, what are you saying!? SFX (Above Arrow): Staaare Chizuru Thought: As I thought, somehow or another it was... Chizuru thought: Yano-chin will kill me!!
Page 135: Panel 1: 1: Eeeeh? 2: You went to the cursed study session!? 3: How was it!? 4: It was amazing! 5: I understand it completely now! 6: Just like I heard!! Outside: Are you serious!? (5, 6 and Outside kind of overlap panel 2)
Panel 2: Outside 1: Th- the rumors...!? Outside 2: Doki Doki Doki...!! (Sound of heartbeats) 1: For example... 2: Yeah, I guess so...
Panel 3: 1: [Within three days, you'll wither away to a weight of only 5 kilos!!] it seems!! SFX: Uwaah...!! 2: Wha... 3: What's that...!!
Side box: (I will translate this separately, sorry.)
Page 136: Panel 1: Sawako: They... Sawako: They're not sick...!! Sawako SFX: Gaaaan! Outside: They're not cursed...!! SFX on door: Yay yay Small next to door: Amazing! As expected from Sadako!
Panel 2: Kent: (Ha ha ha!) Oh, well said!! Sawako: !!
Panel 3: 1: (Above: Ah!) Sada...!
Panel 5: 1: Amazing! 2: You're amazing, Sadako! 3: That study group yesterday 4: It might save me from another round of failing marks!
Page 137: Panel 1: Kent: See? Kent: You just need to be more confident!!
Panel 2: 1: Ah, Sadako! 2: Thank you for yesterday! Sawako: No, No, it was no trouble!! Above Sawako's head: Uhya--
Panel 3: Outside 1: Now that you mention it, the ones who didn't come, what were they thinking? Outside 2: And the plants in the flower bed you (for convenience) cultivated... Outside 3: Eh? In the flower bed!? Small (under Sawako's elbow): Yay
Panel 4: Small SFX: Yay
Page 138: Panel 1: [Don't you feel bad for her?]
Panel 2: Kaze: ...No, I don't
Page 139: Panel 2: 1: Alright! Midterms are over---!
Panel 3: 1: It's incredible! My class rank increased, Sadako!! Outside: Me too! Sawako outside: Ooh!! 2: And the school festival is coming up too, huh---
Panel 4: 1: This year's theme is Fantasy, I hear 2: I wonder what our class will end up doing 3: Eeeh? What the heck is this!!
Page 140: Panel 1: Plant Sign 1: Constipation Plant Sign 2: Diuresis 1: Constipation... Diuresis... 2: How scary!! 3: These are the plants that the second year upperclassman Kuronuma Sadako raised, it seems. 4: Sadako!? 5: Ah, I remember seeing her before!! Outside (Left side): Doesn't she have super long hair!?
Panel 2: 1: Until a year ago, there were stories that she caused all kinds of curses! 2: No way! What kind, what kind!? 3: Things like that she could use shikigami and stuff like that!! 4: And she can teleport too!! 5: I heard she can improve your grades!! Outside, top to bottom: Eeeh! No way! Scary! Amazing! 6: ......
Panel 3: Small, top right corner: Okay 1: The costume parade theme is the 100 demons of the night, huh. So what should we do for it? (T/N: Reference the manga Nurarihyon no Mago if you're more interested in the 100 Demons, the Hyakki Yagyou.) 2: (Small text just outside Bubble: I know!) What if the class did [Sadako's Black Magic Cafe] or something like that? What do you think? Sawako SFX: Eh!! 3: Sadako, the strange grass you raised, (Small: They're medicinal plants, right?) 4: Sadako, feel free to give your opinion about what kind of booth we should make! 5: Then, let's take a vote!
Panel 4: Blackboard: The Class's Project: Sadako's Black Magic Cafe 26 Votes Haunted House 7 Votes Costume Parade 100 Demons of the Night (T/N: Those "Sei" kanji are the way the votes were counted - they should be erased.)
Panel 5: Sawako: Eeeh---!!
Page 141: Panel 1: 1: What's this? Sawako: It's a chameleon plant... 2: Eh--! (Small: So that's what it was!)
Panel 2: 1: They make chameleon plant tea, don't they? Ayane (Small bubble, top center): Chizu, close your legs Chizuru Outside: It's hot! 2: That's great! There's stuff for all kinds of medicinal tea, isn't there? 3: Oh, this is! Sawako: Mint... 4: You're even raising mint, Sadako?!
Panel 3: 1: Ah!
Panel 4: 1: It's Kazehaya and the guys, huh. 2: Ah! Kazehaya---!
Panel 5: SFX: Hah!! 1: Look at this, Sadako is even raising things like mint---!!
Panel 5: 1: What can you use mint for? (Small: Just a spice?) 2: Can you make it into tea too? Outside: A ha ha 3: It's not just for tea, you can use it in the bath too, right?
Panel 6: Sawako: Ah... Outside: They left... 1: Hey, what's this one? Outside: A ha ha Sawako: Ah! That is... (Small: They probably have to change their clothes...)
Page 143: Panel 1: Ayane: It looks like they want to talk to each other, but... Outside: How do you say Ayane: ...Kazehaya still isn't feeling any pressure, even after what I said to him earlier... Outside (below): What's the heck! Chizuru SFX: Shock!!
Panel 2: Chizuru: ...... Outside: Y- yeah... SFX: pata pata (the sound of her waving that fan) 1: ...I want to talk to him, but
Panel 3: 1: What should I say? 2: ...the words won't come out...
Panel 4: 1: ...I wonder if it's just my imagination.
Page 144: Panel 1: 1: But earlier, I also felt like there was a distance between us
Panel 2: 1: ...I... 2: Am I overthinking it, I wonder...
Page 145: Panel 2: Chizuru: So, I'll be counting on you. Ryuu: I don't wanna.
Panel 3: Chizuru: Why not!? You should be able to just casually follow up with Kazehaya on this when you're talking to him, right!? Chizuru Outside: Just tell him you understand about Sawako, 100%!! Chizuru SFX: Nuuuu!! Ryuu: No, there's no way I could just say such an unexpected thing casually, and I don't want to either, so... Outside: No way!! Chizuru: You- you blockhead!!
Page 146: Panel 1: Ryuu: ...Well,
Panel 2: Ryuu: If he brings it up first, I guess I can do it...
Panel 3: SFX: Pwaaaaah...
Panel 4: Ryuu: ...but for your information, I'm not doing this for your sake. I'm just worried about Shouta, so... Ryuu: And it's not like I didn't already know without you telling me, either... Chizuru SFX: EEEEEH!?
Panel 5: SFX: Showaaaah
Panel 6: Kent: Ah!
Page 147: Panel 1: Kent: Sadako-chan!
Panel 2: Kent: What great timing! SFX: Grin
Panel 3: Kent: I've been trying to find a way to talk to you alone!
Panel 5: Pin: Oh?
Page 148: Panel 1: Sign: Cafeteria SFX: Gaya Gaya (sound of talking)
Panel 2: Ryuu: Ah, Ryuu: Shouta Ryuu: Over here (Small: There's an open seat.) Kaze: Okay!
Panel 4: Outside: ...I called him over, so what do I do now... Ryuu: ...... Ryuu: I guess, taking it into consideration... Ryuu: ...Aaaah
Panel 5: Ryuu: So then in the end, can I be frank about Kuronuma, or shouldn't I? SFX: Gerk!! (Sound of him choking on his food)
Page 149: Panel 1: Ryuu outside: Ah! The broth... Kaze: (Outside: Wha) What the heck is this all of the sudden! Ryuu: No, I was just wondering about it
Panel 2: Kaze: ......
Panel 3: Kaze: ...How should I interact with her Kaze: I'm just not sure
Panel 4: Kaze: Until now, in regards to Kuronuma, I... Kaze: I just interacted with her as I liked
Panel 5: Kaze: ...it was never about anything like [For Kuronuma's sake]
Page 150: Panel 1: Kaze: But maybe that was just bothersome Kaze: And I didn't understand that Kaze: ...If I just didn't understand, and I should have actually been listening to the person herself all this time...
Panel 2: Ryuu: You weren't listening? Kaze: Wouldn't she have just said [It's a bother]?
Panel 3: Outside: Probably Ryuu: But she didn't say that, huh. Ryuu outside: Even if you think it Kaze: Right? SFX below: Yeah, yeah
Panel 4: SFX: WAH HA HA HA HA! SFX (to the left, above Kazehaya's head): Irritated... Pin: Oh! If it isn't Shouta!! Pin: In such a place, eating without a care in the world, what an appetite you have!!
Panel 5: Kaze: What the hell is wrong with a student eating his lunch in the school cafeteria!? Pin: Oh? Are you saying you're fine with that then?
Page 151: Panel 1: Pin: Your wife is cheating on you, you know. Pin: With Miura Kent!
Panel 3: SFX: GATA!!
Panel 4: Kaze SFX: Ah!!
Panel 5: Outside: No Kaze: You're wrong Kaze: It's not cheating or anything like that!! SFX: Katan Pin: HAAHN!?
Page 152: Panel 1: Pin: You got dumped!! Pin SFX: KYA HA HA HA HA HA!! Kaze SFX: Turn! Kaze: You're wrong!!
Panel 2: Pin: ...... Pin: Hahaaaaan, could it be, you... Pin: Still haven't even confessed yet?
Panel 3: Pin: Your love... you gotta tell her!
Panel 4: Pin: You should just confess refreshingly, under the bright sunlight! Pin: Ah, but you're kinda bug-like, huh. Getting it out with your tiny, tiny courage, maybe you should just shout your confession from the top of Jungle Gym instead! Pin SFX: That would be the best! Kaze SFX: You... You're pissing me off...!! Kaze thought: Why the hell does this guy even know about it!!
Panel 5: Kaze thought: Perhaps, Kuronuma herself is the only one who's completely oblivious Kaze thought: ...... Kaze thought: No...
Page 153: Panel 1: Thought: Maybe she does know, and is angry with me... Thought: ......
Panel 2: Kaze: ...... Kaze: I have no idea... Kaze: I really have absolutely no idea what to do Kaze: About Kuronuma
Panel 3: Pin: What are you talking about?
Panel 4: Pin: That's obvious, isn't it? Pin: There's only one way to find out for sure, isn't there?
Page 154: Panel 2: 1: ...Yeah, you're right.
Panel 3: SFX: Katan
Panel 4: Pin: Where are you going? 1: Wha!? Outside: What the heck!? 2: Kuronuma!
Panel 5: Pin: If you're wondering about Kuronuma, she was at the flower bed where she's been growing that weird grass... SFX: STPP!! Pin: Ah! Pin: Hey!
Page 155: Panel 2: Pin: (Small, uppermost right: Wha-) What the hell was that!?
(Small: The springtime of youth!?) SFX: Hiiiiiiii!! Ryuu outside: Ah, this feeling Ryuu thought: For some reason, it reminds me of something from Momotetsu, with Binbou-gami having blamed someone else...! (T/N: This is a reference to a long-running series of video games, "Momotaro Electric Railway" (桃太郎電鉄, Momotarō Dentetsu), often abbreviated "Momotetsu". The main nemesis is Binbou-gami (God of Poverty), and the objective is to acquire wealth and property but traveling around the world.)

Page 4: Right side: (The story so far)
Panel 3: SFX: Sigh...
Panel 4: SFX: Creeeak...
Panel 5: SFX: Flop!
Page 5: Panel 1: Arago: Just this morning at 2:23 AM... Arago: At the site of repeated accidents, the "Demon's Curve" Arago: Another case is being handled...
Panel 2: Arago: Day and night I'm working... At this rate, my body won't last...
Panel 3: Arago: The life you gave me... ...I'm not wasting it... Arago: But maybe I've made a really unreasonable promise...
Panel 4: 1: With my brother's arm, and a cursed power. 2: Anybody would get mentally worn out... 3: I am not the Patch Man... 4: But if my secret were to leak out, I don't think the people around me would understand...
Panel 5: 1: So far, nobody's noticed, 2: But you're watching, right? 3: Ewan.
Page 6: Panel 2: Joe: Are you alright, Arago? Joe: You've got some serious bags under your eyes.
Panel 3: Arago: Eh? Really? Joe: How nice it must be, being young.
Panel 4: Arago: I'm telling you that's not it!! Please don't try to make things more complicated...
Panel 5: Joe: This is pretty terrible huh? How is it over there, Larry? Arago SFX: Yawn... Larry: This guy committed suicide, looks like. There's nothing to investigate here.
Panel 6: Larry: The body was identified as Braem Matthew. Larry: He was a drug dealer.
Page 7: Panel 1: Larry: He was only recently released from prison, and couldn't find a decent job, it seems. Larry: He got divorced while he was in prison, and was nailed for narcotics possession too. Larry: He had plenty of reasons to commit suicide.
Panel 2: Joe: So he had a criminal record, eh... Joe: And the one who arrested him was...
Panel 3: Joe: Detective Ewan Hunt.
Panel 4: Larry; That's right, it was the work of your extremely capable older brother. Joe: This is even his report...
Panel 5: Larry: And there's something else too. The emergency dispatchers reported that they got a call from Braem's cell phone last night, Larry: Apparently he was in an extremely confused state, and he blurted out something very strange.
Left side: Top Box: Character Info: Below: Arago Hunt. After the Patch Man's surgery, he now has part of his older brother Ewan's body and a strange power in his hand. Succeeding his older brother's will, he became a police officer, and has now been selected to become a detective for the criminal investigations department.
Page 8: Panel 1: Larry: [The detective who arrested me,] Larry: [Ewan Hunt is chasing me!]
Right side: Top Box: Character Info: Below: Joe Sullivan. A skirt-chasing assistant inspector from the detective section. He has a high opinion of Arago.
Panel 2: Larry: Arago Hunt, I wonder if you have an alibi for last night? Arago: Haahn!? Joe (small bubble): Now, now
Panel 3: Larry: Hah, but there's no question about it anyway Larry: Braem, with no future prospects and after completely defeating himself, resorted to his own drugs. It was just a drug induced hallucination.
Panel 4: Larry: It's just a suicide! A suicide!
Page 9: Panel 1: 1: Ewan was chasing him? 2: There's no way...
Panel 3: Arago: Drug induced... hallucination?
Panel 4: Larry: Hey, you! Don't go around touching the evidence!! Larry: You're unbelievable, destroying the crime scene!! Larry: Give me that!!
Panel 5: Larry: Geez... Larry: Are you an idiot...? Arago: Um... wouldn't it be better not to just dismiss this out of hand as just another suicide?
Panel 6: Larry: Hahn!?
Panel 7: Larry: What the--? You think you can give me advice!? Larry: You're just a brat that doesn't even understand the basics of crime scene investigation!!
Panel 8: Larry: You should just keep quiet, Larry: And stay out of my way!!
Page 10: Panel 1: Joe: From the time Larry was in the police academy, Ewan was always his rival, it seems. Joe: When they were both assigned to this office, he always got pretty worked up about it...
Panel 2: Joe: He's lost his goal and he's just taking it out on you. Joe: Don't pay any attention to him. Arago: I'm not...
Panel 3: Arago: I've gotten used to it. Arago: Being hated by people. Small bubble: Ha ha
Panel 4: Joe: By the way, what you just said... Joe: What makes you think that Braem didn't commit suicide? Arago: No... Just for some reason...
Panel 5: Joe: Dismissing it as suicide out of hand is no good... I'd say... Joe: I see, I see...
Panel 6: Joe: Well, the remains are going to be autopsied, so we'll have the time of death shortly. Arago: Time of death?
Panel 7: Joe: Yes. Joe: Whether Larry is correct, or you are. Joe: The time of death will give us the answer.
Page 11: Panel 2: 1: He had a criminal record? 2: The one who arrested him was your extremely capable older brother.
Panel 3: 1: A strange emergency call. 2: Ewan is chasing him. Arago: A drug addict's hallucination... And then suicide.
Panel 4: SFX: Whine Whine Arago: !
Panel 5: Arago: Hey, this is the police station's parking lot, you know. Arago: You must be lost, huh?
Panel 6: Arago: What? Do you wanna play? Arago: You must be lonely too, huh. SFX: Nuzzle
Panel 7: Arago: Hold on a second, now... if I touch you with my bare hands it'll hurt you.. Arago: Cut it out!
Panel 5: Arago: What the heck... Arago: Even dogs hate me... Arago: This sucks...
Panel 6: Arago: I injure everything I touch... Arago: I guess this kind of power is well suited for such a hated guy, jeez...
Panel 7: 1: Arago. SFX: Creak
Page 13: Panel 1: Rio: What, are you just wasting time or something out here? (T/N: This is Japanese colloquialism, She literally says: "What, are you selling oil out here or something?")
Panel 2: Arago: What happened to you Rio? You're bleeding... Rio: Ah, this?
Panel 3: Rio: During my patrol, I got into a little scuffle with a hoodlum with a knife. Rio: But don't worry, I already had it treated.
Panel 4: Arago: Already had it treated you say... ...you...
Panel 5: Arago: You're gonna die one of these days... Arago: Cut out for this job ...you're really not. SFX (small bubble): Mu!
Panel 6: Rio: What did you say? What do you mean by that? Rio: I think you're even less suited to be a detective, though. SFX: BACHI!! Arago: That's exactly what I mean, since it's just impossible for you, "Crybaby Rio". Arago: Why something like a police officer...
Page 14: Panel 1: Rio: Why, you ask... Officer: Rio, could this person be...
Panel 2: Rio: Ah, right! This is my childhood friend, Arago. Officer: I thought so! He's just like Ewan!!
Panel 3: Officer: Your older brother was a great man. Officer: All of us... no, the whole city is unfortunate Officer: To have lost someone like him...
Panel 5: Officer: Ah, hey, why don't you have some coffee with us?
Panel 6: Officer: The firearms' department's special blend is really good! Arago: Sorry, I'm really busy.
Panel 7: Officer: Come on, don't say that...
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: Don't touch me!!
Panel 3: Arago: ...Ah... Arago: Sorry...
Panel 4: Arago: I... Arago: Really hate coffee...
Panel 5: 1: ...... SFX: Bow! Bow! Rio: I, I'm so sorry about him!!
Page 16: Right side: Send letters of encouragement to Arai Takahiro-Sensei!! Also include your thoughts on and fan art for "ARAGO"!
Panel 1: Rio: I'm heading out now. Rio: Please take care of yourselves. 1: Yeah, you be careful too!
Panel 2: Rio: All the covering up I did for Arago was no good... Memory: He didn't mean anything bad by it!! Memory: He's just a misunderstood type of person...!!
Panel 3: 1: Why something like a police officer... Rio: Why did he say that... He should understand best of all...
Panel 4: Rio: Wanting to become like Ewan... Rio: I thought I knew him a little better than that...
Panel 5: 1: Rio? Rio: Yes?
Page 17: Panel 2: Arago: Every day, it's nothing but "Ewan this" and "Ewan that"... Arago: Even though I'm trying so hard myself... SFX: Vrrr...
Panel 3: Arago: 'Sup? Joe: Ah, It's me.
Panel 4: Joe: You really do have a good eye. Joe: We have the results of Braem's autopsy.
Panel 5: Joe: He was murdered, from the looks of it.
Panel 6: Rio: Just a minute Arago, quit messing with me... Rio: It's not funny... this joke...
Panel 7: Rio: Even wearing glasses... Rio: You don't look the same... Ewan: It's been a while, 15 years now, isn't it...
Page 18: Right side: Eyewitness testimonies continue, and finally Ewan has revealed himself in front of Rio too. Has he come back to life!? Or could it be!? Find out in the next issue!!
Panel 1: Ewan: I was waiting for you... Ewan: For you to become a police officer, you know.
Panel 2: Rio: This can't be true, right...? Rio: Ewan?https://mangahelpers.com/t/xalsow/releases/19274Translation: AR∀GO 52010-01-27T23:18:02+00:00Xalsowadmin@mangahelpers.comFor use in English by Simple Scans only!! Free for use for translation into languages other than English.

Panel 7: Ghost: Completed...
Page 11: Panel 1: Arago: That hurts!
Panel 2: Arago; My right arm is... Arago: I guess I overdid it, huh...
Panel 3: Arago: What the heck was that crazy power...
Panel 5: Arago: ...As I thought.
Panel 6: Arago: A crematorium--- Arago: Before this hospital was built, this was a church with an underground crematorium---
Panel 7: Arago: After their funeral services in the church above ground, the bodies were brought underground by the lift---
Panel 8: Arago: Until it could carry the deceased people's souls down here...
Page 12: Panel 1: SFX: He he he SFX 2: A ha ha! Rio: Let me out!! Rio: Hey, come on and let me out!!!
Panel 2: 1: You, you're an Englishman and Japanese woman's child, right!? 2: He he he, what nationality are you then!! 3: Japanese?

Panel 5: Arago: The lift fell, but you weren't seriously injured. Arago: The doctor said you lost consciousness because of a minor concussion--- Rio: What about the other people?
Panel 6: Arago: Other people? ...Ah, they're fine, they're fine. Arago: It looked like they were satisfied...
Panel 7: Rio: Satisfied?
Panel 8: Arago: Well then, I'm gonna go... Rio: Hey, Rio: You saved me...
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: ? Arago: Hahn?
Panel 2: Rio: ...Ah, no, sorry... 1: So that really was... a dream.
Panel 3: SFX: jiwa... (crying sfx)
Panel 4: Arago: Wha, what's this all of the sudden!? Arago: Are you hurt somewhere!?
Panel 6: Arago: It looks like I've managed to say something bad again, somehow...
Panel 7: Rio: I still don't know... Rio: ...I...
Panel 8: Rio: Ewan is dead... And I said such horrible things to you... Rio: Getting irritated all by myself, Rio: That's not the kind of person I want to be!
Panel 9: Rio: But this feeling... Rio: I still don't know what I should do about it!!
Page 16: Panel 2: Arago: Isn't it already fine this way?
Panel 3: Arago: It's just that you're sad, and in pain... Arago: If you want to confront someone about it, that's fine...
Panel 4: Arago: I don't understand too well myself, but you're the kind of person that tries to handle everything yourself, and bottles up everything deep inside, right? Arago: Instead of keeping it all inside, just let it out.
Panel 5: Rio: Will you... Rio: ...Forgive me?
Panel 6: Arago: Ewan is definitely watching over us. Arago: Look, it's because he's always worrying. Arago: In yesterday's accident, I'm absolutely sure...
Panel 7: Arago: Ewan was protecting you. Rio: ......
Panel 8: Rio: ...Thank you... Rio: ...Arago...
Page 17: Panel 1: Arago: Hahan, finally, Arago: You finally called me by my name... Rio: Eh? Arago: No... it's nothing.
Panel 3: Arago: I thought you might have changed, but... Arago: You haven't changed at all, have you?
Panel 4: Arago: Not since we were kids. Arago: Crybaby Rio.
Panel 5: Rio: Dummy.
Page 18: Panel 1: 1: This was supposed to have happened yesterday but,
Panel 2: 1: From today on this person will be assigned to the CID, Officer Arago Hunt.
Panel 3: Arago: It seems that I will just be filling in for Detective Tiernan... 1: Of course you are, you little brat.
Panel 4: Arago: Ahn!? 1: Hey, Larry.
Panel 5: SFX: Tch.
Panel 7: 1: In the ruins of a 19th century waterway, complete with human remains--- 2: A funeral carriage dating from those times was excavated---
Page 19: Panel 1: 1: The bus accidents that have been happening lately, 2: While it was transporting corpses to the church, it seems it met some kind of accident on the canal and sank... 3: And the soul of the funeral carriage's driver, awakening from his long sleep and having only his memories of that, was causing the accidents.
Panel 2: Joe: That was a lovely introduction just now. Small outside: Eeeh? Arago: Thanks.
Panel 3: 1: The power balance has crumbled now, 2: All kinds of strange things will roll on into London!!
Panel 4: 1: That Ghost Carriage was definitely one of those...
Panel 5: Joe: Well, if we work hard together from now on, Joe: London's scoundrels won't stand a chance, I'll bet.
Panel 6: Arago: Gotcha! Arago: This is the start of my real performance... 1: Just watch, Ewan. 2: Monsters and villains, we'll take care of them them all!!
Panel 7: 1: Hey, stop struggling!!
Page 20: Panel 1: 1: Hey, somebody stop him!!
Panel 2: 1: Get outta my way!!!!
Panel 3: 1: ?
Panel 5: 1: I'm sorry! Is anyone hurt?
Panel 6: Arago: Amazing... a woman...? Joe: hyo--! (whistling)
Panel 7: Arago: What the heck, she's like a gorilla... Rio: Who're you calling a gorilla? Arago.
Page 21: Panel 1: Rio: Starting today, I'm beginning my assignment with the Cross Quarter's Special Division, Rio: I'm Officer Rio Butler!
Panel 3: Arago: R- Rio!? You've gotta be kidding me. Arago: Special Division!!? Joe: Hoh?
Panel 4: Rio: Yep, we're a combat department devoted to actively handling crimes with firearms!
Panel 5: Rio: My duty station is different but, let's work hard together, okay?
Panel 6: Arago: Ha... Arago: Ha ha... 1: You can't be serious...
Page 22: Panel 3: 1: Wh-what I have done, tell me!! 2: For you to arrest me... 3: I've already cut my ties with all of that!!
Panel 3: 1: Don't come any closer!! 2: Don't...

Kimi ni Todoke Chapter 31 Translation:
Page 91: Episode 31: Far away?
Page 92: Panel 4: 1: Just forget it. Sawako: .... Sawako: I wonder what he meant by that...
Page 93: Panel 1: 1: Since he said it like that, it seems as if it's not something I should worry about
Panel 2: 1: ...That's right, 2: Since he said it very naturally...
Panel 3: 1: ...What is "natural" though... 2 (round bubble): "As far as you're concerned, Kuronuma," 3: "I thought that among all the young guys here I was the closest to you, but" 4: "I guess that wasn't the case?"
Panel 4: 1: ...I kept running it over in my head when I was trying to fall asleep last night 2: That maybe if I had responded then, it would have been better
Panel 5: 1: In the end, 2: I couldn't figure it out... Sawako: ...I can't give up Sawako: Giving up would be strange... Sawako: I think... Sawako: ... 3: I'm embarassed...
Page 94: Panel 1: 1: Only I felt there was something more to it 2: Only I was worrying about it 3: ....I'm so embarassed...
Panel 4: Kaze: ...What is it? Kaze: Calling me out here, what do you want? Kento: Just hear me out!
Panel 5: Kento: Look, After all this time we've been in the same class, we still haven't had a good heart-to-heart talk!
Page 95: Panel 1: Kento: It's been quite a while, so I wanted to be able to speak with the oh-so-popular Kazehaya-san! Kento: Come on! I only want to be popular too!! Kento: Juuuust kidding! It's a joke!! Above: Come, come, Sit down, sit down! Kaze: How exactly do you want me to react to that... Kento: It's fine, just sit down!!
Panel 2: Kento: So, you must have been confessed to many times, right? Kento: By girls, I mean. Kaze: Not really. Kento: You've gotta be kidding! Kaze: Nope. So what do you really want?
Panel 3: Kento: ... Kento: Hm...
Panel 4: Kento: ...Sadako-chan, Kento: Only one year ago, she was pretty much isolated from everyone, right?
Page 96: Panel 1: Kento: I wonder if maybe it would be better if you weren't as involved with her.
Panel 2: Kento: ...It seems that you're the kind that can't leave people like that alone, but Kento: I think it might be counterproductive.
Panel 3: Kaze: ...What are you trying to say?
Page 97: Panel 1: Kento: Since Kuronuma is isolated, and since you can't leave an isolated person alone. Kaze: I don't have that kind of intention though.
Panel 2&3: Kento: Ha ha ha ha!
Panel 4: Kento: Sorry, sorry! I hit a nerve there, huh? Kento: Don't get mad! If you make a face like that I'll be
Panel 5: Kaze: ...Anyway, if you don't actually have anything useful to say, then... Kento: Sadako-chan looks so pitiful,
Page 98: Panel 1&2: Kento: ...but I guess it doesn't really matter.
Panel 3: Kento: She's gone through a lot of trouble to fit in with the class, Kento: If they knew Sadako-chan liked you, the other girls might become hostile towards her. Kento: Even if it doesn't mean anything to you, right?
Panel 4: 1: [That thing I said the other day 2: You shouldn't worry about it.]
Page 99: Panel 1: Kento: And then... Kento: Oops Kento: These are Sadako's feelings as a girl, so I probably shouldn't say anything more Kaze: ---what are you implying?
Panel 2: Kaze: Such a thing Kaze: Even if that was the case, how should I change!?
Panel 3: Kaze: If that's what you were aiming for when you called me out here, Kaze: You Kaze: Don't know anything!
Page 100: Panel 1: Kento: ... Kento: If she's uselessly envying others while she's isolated Kento: ...things like that will only make her collect even more futile hopes Kento: Don't you feel bad for her?
Panel 3: Kaze: Just now, Kaze: Why did you say that?
Panel 4: Kento: ...Kuronuma's always trying so hard, isn't she?
Panel 5: Kento: Always Kento: Kuronuma is
Page 101: panel 1: Kento: ...it really was a useless hope.
Panel 3: Kento: So, Kento: That's why you don't know.
Panel 4: Kento: Because you and Sadako-chan are so fundamentally different.
Page 102: Panel 3: Kento: Now, now! Kento: I'm not trying to start a fight with you over Sadako-chan!
SFX: SMACK! Kaze: !
Panel 4: Kento: It's alright that you don't really understand! Kento: Since you're so far away such a thing is only natural, I should think!! Kaze: To start a fight... Kaze: You are trying, aren't you!!
Panel 5: Kento: Though, Sadako-chan really is going through a lot of trouble and putting in a lot of effort so, Kento: Doesn't it worry you?
Page 103: Panel 2: Kaze: ... Kaze: I know that!
Panel 3: Kento: ...It's fine then Kento: I'll be counting on you. SFX: Bow Kento: He's actually a surprisingly quick tempered guy it seems---
Panel 4: Kento: Jeez... he's leaving but Small: I still feel a little like a Yes Man
Panel 5: Kento: Ah! Kento: That's right!! Kento: Hey! Kazehaya!! Kento: I forgot to ask you something!!
Panel 6: Kento: You Kento: Even though you're popular, you don't have a girlfriend Kento: Is there someone you like---!?
Page 104: Panel 1: Kaze: ... Kaze: There is!
Panel 2: Kento: Then you should go out with her!! Kento: Should I help you out!? Kento's thought: And then Sadako-chan will give up too! Kaze: No way! Kaze: Absolutely no way!!
Panel 3: Kaze: What the heck!! 1: [That's why you don't know.] 2: [Since you're so far away 3: such a thing is only natural.]
Page 105: Panel 1: Kaze: ...What does he mean, that "I don't know"?
Panel 2: Kaze: "Far away", he says Kaze: ...I am!?
Panel 3: Kaze: ...
Panel 4: Kaze: ...What the heck!!

ARAGO Chapter 3 Translation:

Panel 1: Woman: Why did you die?
Panel 2: Rio: Didn't I work hard enough? Rio: You promised me...
Panel 3&4: Rio: Ewan...
Page 2: Top: New Serialization's 3rd chapter!! There's already a great reaction to the super sensation police suspense!!
Across: In front of Ewan's grave, this young woman with tears in her eyes is---!?
Chapter 3: Rio
Page 3: Panel 1: Arago: Rio...
Panel 2: Rio: ...
Panel 3: Rio: Ewan?
Panel 7: Arago: ...Just now, that wasn't the first time I've met this girl... Arago: ...
Page 4: Panel 1: Teacher: This is sudden, but... Teacher: Rio Butler-san will from today, because of her father's work circumstances...
Panel 2: Teacher: Be moving to live in Japan.
Panel 3: Ewan: Japan, huh. That's really far away... Rio: It's where my mom is originally from. Rio: Dad and I have never been there before though...
Panel 4: Arago: What the heck, why didn't you tell us earlier!! Arago: Japan or anywhere else, you never said anything about having to move!! Ewan: Stop it, Arago.
Panel 5: Rio: Uh...
Page 5: Panel 1: Arago: Crying again? You're such a crybaby, Rio. Arago: If you keep that up, they'll pick on you over in Japan too. Ewan: Arago!
Panel 2: Rio: I... I don't want to move to Japan... Rio: I don't want to have to say goodbye to Ewan and the others here...
Panel 3: Ewan: We'll meet again though. Ewan: Because I know this won't be the last time we see each other.
Page 6: Right Side: (The story so far... I don't feel like translating it.)
Panel 1: Arago: So it's been 15 years now, "Crybaby Rio". Arago: Why were you there, at his grave? Arago: When did you come back to London?
Panel 3: Rio: I could say the same to you... why were you there...?
Panel 4: Arago: Why shouldn't I be there? Arago: I was visiting my brother's grave...
Panel 5: Arago: ... Rio: ...
Panel 6: Arago: ... Arago: I came to tell him, ...to tell Ewan.
Panel 7: Arago: To say, "I became a detective just like you." Rio: !!!
Page 7: Panel 1: Rio: Is that so... a detective? Arago: Yeah.
Panel 2: Arago: From today on...
Panel 4: Arago: Wait, Rio! Arago: Rio!!
Panel 5: Rio: You can't become Ewan!!
Panel 6: Rio: You became a cop just like Ewan you said, Rio: Is matching up to him all you care about!? Arago: H, hey, I just... Rio: There's no reason that you have to do just what he did, is there!?
Panel 7: Rio: Why? Rio: Why did Ewan...
Page 8: Rio: Why wasn't it you, Rio: Why didn't you die instead of Ewan!?
Page 9: Panel 1: Arago: It's as Rio says... Arago: If I had died no one would have mourned or missed me...
Panel 2: Arago: Because I know that, I really don't need anyone to say it to my face... Arago: The real reason for Ewan's death is...
Panel 3: Arago: Only to you...
Page 10&11: Panel 3: Arago: A- A bus? You've gotta be kidding me! Arago: Rio!!
Panel 6: Arago: A shadow? What the heck was that...?
Page 12: Panel 2: 1: I'm heading out to gather information. Joe: Ah, hold on a minute.
Panel 3: Joe: Today, there's a new replacement officer entering the CID. Joe: I'd like to introduce you to him, so...
Panel 4: 1: Ah, but it's already afternoon, and it doesn't look like he's coming in, does it?
Panel 5: 1: Joe-san, 1: Are we really letting someone like that into the CID?
Panel 6: 1: Apparently he's very different from his brother who died in the line of duty, and I hear nothing but bad rumors about him. 2 (small bubble): heh heh
Panel 7: 1: I'm against it! He's nothing more than a hoodlum...!! 2: Joe-san.
Panel 8: 2: It appears one of our detectives has been involved in Kensington Way's bus accident.
Panel 9: Joe: Bus?
Page 13: Panel 2: Arago: That's right... Arago: I was walking down the street, and the bus came through the park...
Panel 3: Arago: This is bad... Today was supposed to be my first day, and I'm really late... Joe: What a terrible disaster, eh.
Panel 5: Arago: Old ma-, Er, I mean, Arago: Assistant Inspector Joe Sullivan!!! Joe: Just Joe is fine.
Panel 6: Arago: I am so sorry! I'm really late today, but it's because... Joe: You almost became some more work for us, eh. Joe: Everyone was worried, you know?
Page 14: Panel 1: Joe: Since the day before yesterday, similar bus accidents have been happening, and this makes the third day in a row. Arago: Three days in a row?
Panel 2: Joe: There are always only two victims in each crash, the driver and one passenger... Joe: Today there are also only two casualties...
Panel 3: Joe: Coincidence? Or a requirement...?
Panel 4: Joe: Which do you think? Eh, Arago?
Panel 5: Joe: Well... I would think that the likelihood of these traffic accidents being caused by a terrorist group is fairly low. Joe: There also haven't been any explosives found, or any letters claiming responsibility...
Panel 6: Joe: Hm?
Panel 7: Joe: And that beautiful young lady over there is?
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: Ah, just a childhood friend of mine... Arago: I ran into her unexpectedly, and then the accident... Joe: Oh, you're quite a smooth operator, aren't you? Arago: That's not it!!
Panel 3: Joe: By any chance, a dangerous mood? Arago: No, that's...
Panel 4: Joe: England's 61st and 63rd Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, Joe: "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see." (T/N: Winston Churchill was indeed both the 61st and 63rd Prime Minister - he served twice, non-consecutively.)
Panel 5: Joe: The past and the future are connected. Joe: You should become good friends just like in the past. Arago: What the heck are you saying!! Arago: Please don't just decide things like that by yourself!
Panel 6: Joe: I know, why don't you offer to walk the young lady home. Arago: Eh!? Why should I!?
Panel 7: Joe: If you reminisce while you do, yeah, that would be great! Joe: How about we say it's your punishment for being late. Joe: Oh, a beautiful woman, spotted! Arago: Just a-- Joe-san!!
Page 16: Panel 1: Rio: ...why did they have to pick you to send with me...? Arago: So troublesome... Arago: I'm not too happy about it either, you know.
Panel 2: Joe: Women are gentle, Joe: So always act like a gentleman. Arago: So what am I supposed to do...? (Small: A gentleman?)
Panel 3: Arago: Want some?
Panel 4: Rio: No thank you!
Panel 5: Arago: You don't have to hold back, I've got lots of 'em.
Page 17: Panel 1: Rio: You're still eating stuff like that... Rio: Just like when you were a kid.
Panel 2: Arago: I like 'em, so what's wrong with it? Arago: No one ever said anything, and my dream from when I was a kid was...
Panel 3: Arago: Come on, owner! Store Owner: You know, when I was young my neighborhood's candy shop owner let me eat as many chocolate bars as I wanted, Store Owner: And I'm pretty sure that's why I've ended up so fat.
Panel 4: Rio: From his early days, Ewan always said he wanted to be able to work to serve people... Rio: You were very different... Arago: You know, he and I, back in the old days even our grades were very different.
Panel 5: Rio: I was... Rio: Heh heh, we match! Ewan: Some strange rings, aren't they!
Panel 6: 1: I wanted to marry Ewan...
Page 18: Panel 1: Rio; Can we stop now? Rio: Talking about the past...
Panel 2: Arago: You really, Arago: Even now, about Ewan...
Panel 3: Rio: Don't you dare say anything!!!
Panel 4: Rio: You haven't changed at all!! Rio: You're completely insensitive!! Rio: Can't you ever think about other people's feelings even a little!!?
Panel 5: Arago: ...Always like this...
Panel 6: Rio: Even after 15 years, you're still just the same... Rio: And so are the streets of London...
Panel 7: Rio: Nothing... Has changed...
Page 19: Panel 1: Arago: I'm not the same...
Panel 2: Arago: There's nothing about me that's the same as 15 years ago... Arago: The good... and the bad...
Panel 3: Arago: Even you Rio Arago: Right?
Panel 4: Rio: ...
Page 20: Panel 1: Rio: You don't have to go with me any farther, Rio: Being with you... Somehow I...
Panel 2: Kid: Uwah! It's here!!
Panel 3: Kid: The Ghost Bus came!!!
Panel 5: Arago: Sorry, but wait here for me! Rio: Eh!? Arago!!?
Panel 6: Arago: Wait for me, I'll come back and walk you home!! Arago: If you don't, I'll get mad!!
Panel 7: Arago: So wait right there!!
Panel 8: Rio: Ah, geez!!
Page 21: Panel 2: Boy: Cool!! Girl: The story about the Ghost Bus is true!!
Panel 2: Arago: Hey, kid.
Panel 3: Arago: I'm with the Metropolitan Police Service, Arago: And I'm kind of familiar with these kinds of things.
Panel 4: Girl: A Detective!? Boy: Is it real? That badge. Arago: I'm investigating the bus accident.
Panel 5: Arago: Just now, you said something about a Ghost Bus?
Panel 6: Girl: You don't know!? It's-- Boy: Hey!
Panel 22: Panel 1: Boy: In a situation like this... Boy: right!? Girl: Oh, I see!!
Panel 2: Boy: Ah--... My throat is so dry... Arago: Hah?
Panel 3: Boy: Somehow, I could really use a drink...
Panel 4: Arago: Aah...
Panel 6: Boy: Ah... that really hits the spot. Arago: Damn brat...
Panel 7: Boy: I heard about it from my older brother's friend. 1: The day before yesterday, he was waiting at a bus stop.
Page 23: Panel 1: 1: But when it came, the bus was completely full, with no room left.
Panel 2: 1: He'd just accepted that fact, but then the bus driver said something to him.
Panel 3: 1: "We have room for one more."
Panel 4: 1: He was going to get on board,
Panel 5: 1: "Hold on there---" 2: Another person shoved him out of the way and took his spot.
Panel 6: 1: Just then, the bus's door closed---
Panel 7: 1: And at that time, he saw the bus driver's face for the first time.
Page 24: 1: The bus driver's ghastly pale face...
Panel 2: Boy: The bus took off right away, but then ran into a building and blew up in a massive explosion--- Arago (Small bubbles): Hmm, I see Boy: The guy who didn't board the bus was really lucky, Boy: He ran away, but he wrote down what he saw, and he also said this about the bus's destination--
Panel 3: Boy: "If you get on Ghost Bus, you're going to hell!!"
Panel 4: Arago: Going to hell...
Panel 5: Arago: I'd like to meet the guy who saw that accident. Boy: Impossible, because---
Panel 2: Boy: Yeah, in yesterday's accident. Girl: Once the Ghost Bus sets its sights on you, you're definitely going to be taken to hell!!
Panel 3: 1: Hold on.
Panel 4: Rio: How long were you going to make me wait back there? Rio: You said to wait, and I listened to you.
Panel 5: Arago: Really? Did I say that? ... ha ha. Rio: You did!
Panel 6: Arago: Sorry, I had some urgent business so I forgot!! Arago: You should go ahead and go home by yourself!! Rio: Huh!?
Panel 7: Rio: Wha! What is that!! Arago: Later then!! Rio: Hold on!!!
Page 26: Panel 1: 1: London Main Library
Panel 2: Arago: !!
Panel 3: Arago: ...Here it is.
Panel 4: Arago: "The Ghost Carriage---- Driven by the God of Death" Arago: "It carries the deceased to the realm of the dead, and all those who see it will suffer some terrible misfortune---"
Panel 5: Arago: "In England, the story has been modified greatly over time as it was handed down from the ancients," Arago: "And currently, many derivations such as the 'Ghost Taxi' exist."
Panel 6: Arago: "Often, the Ghost Carriage is reported to appear repeatedly at certain locations--" Arago: Sort of a regular course or route?
Page 27: Panel 1: Arago: But these three cases have happened in completely different locations... Arago: Are they really just regular traffic accidents...?
Panel 2: Arago: Then, that shadow that I saw...
Panel 3: Arago: That was just like.. Arago: The Galley Beggar...
Panel 4: Arago: Aah... Arago (Small Bubble): Like the old days... 1: Why didn't you die instead of Ewan!?
Panel 5: Arago: That's right, Ewan, Arago: He died for my sake. Arago: Strong minded woman. Arago: So if I don't do something it's hopeless... Arago: But I just can't do this.
Page 28: Panel 1: Arago: Until I can repay Ewan's soul... Arago: What can I do...
Panel 2: 1: Why did you have my car towed!! Officer: In order to prevent traffic congestion, 24 hour parking is prohibited here.
Panel 3: 1: In that case, why don't you widen the roads!? 1: There aren't any parking lots I can use around here, after all!!
Panel 4: Officer: We've been using these roads since the days of carriages, Officer: We have to protect the history and tradition of London. Officer: Please understand.
Panel 5: 1: Even if you say that...
Panel 6: Arago: Suffering for the sake of the past's beautiful recollections...
Panel 7: Arago: That's how it is, huh...
Page 29: Panel 1: Joe: Winston Churchill said, Joe: "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."
Panel 2: Arago: Hold on a minute... The past... The future... Rio: You haven't changed at all!
Panel 3: Arago: Something that changed, something that didn't change. Arago: I'm sure it was on the copy I made at the library...
Panel 5: Arago: !!!
Panel 6: Arago: Got ya!!! Arago: Thank you Joe!!
Page 30: Right side: Rio boards the Ghost bus, and Arago makes a breakthrough! The next issue will be another 22 pages!!
Panel 1: Rio: Geez, what a self centered guy!! Rio: His showing off today was terrible! Rio: I shouldn't have come back!!
Panel 2: Rio: ...This is stupid, Rio: Getting mad all by myself... Rio: I...
Panel 4: Rio: Wah, It's full...

ARAGO Ch 2 Translation
Page 1: 1: Successor to both Ewan's body and his dying wish, Arago enters the world of the police----
Chapter 2: Cursed Power
Page 2: Panel 1: Ewan: Arago!! Ewan: Every day you don't come home, what are you thinking!! Ewan: I had to get the police to help me track you down again!!
Panel 2: Ewan: Stop it already!! Looking for that Patch Man!! Ewan: What do you think you'll be able to do all by yourself anyway!!
Side: Yellow Text on Black (Right side): After his parents have been killed by the Patch Man, a very young Arago...
Panel 4: Ewan: You're hurt? Ewan: Let me see.
Panel 5: Arago: You want to just leave it up to the police......? Arago: Don't touch me!!!
Page 3: Panel 1: Arago: The police are all useless!! Arago: No one believes anything I say!!
Panel 2: Arago: Even though Mom and Dad died... Arago: Because of the fire? Don't try to tell me that...
Panel 4: Arago: No one came to save them then, Arago: I can't rely on anyone...
Panel 5: Arago: By myself... I have to become stronger... Arago: Even if I'm all alone... Arago: I'll be fine...
Panel 5: Criminal: All your buddies got lost and left you alone, you're actually pissin' yer pants over there, ain't ya?
Panel 6: Arago: Nope, I'm actually pretty capable all by myself. Criminal: No matter what you do, I don't even have anything on me anymore!!
Page 5: Panel 1: Arago: The police I'm with are everywhere Arago: You'll get hurt, you know?
Panel 2: Arago: Don't screw with me.
Panel 5: Super: What the Hell is this, Super: Officer Hunt!!
Page 6: Panel 1: Super: You used violence to apprehend another suspect! Arago: He was a hoodlum carrying stolen goods. Super: It doesn't matter who it is, the use of violence is strictly forbidden!
Panel 2: Super: This isn't a battleground, Super: In England and here in London, the numbers of hoodlums like that are shrinking.
Panel 3: Super: Still, you're representing the dignity and character of all of Scotland Yard's policemen! Arago: Heh.
Panel 4: Arago: If I spent all my time thinking about "dignity", I wouldn't have recovered the jewel in this case, Arago: Well, I guess if I waited long enough though...
Panel 5: Super: ...You really are a person who likes to rub others the wrong way, just fraying one nerve at a time, aren't you... Super: In that case I will tell you this,
Panel 6: Super: We have been receiving a flood of complaints from the townspeople about you!! Super: Your speech is rude, your behavior is overbearing, the list keeps going!!
Page 7: Panel 1: Super: And someone like you wants to join the CID!? Super: Don't make me laugh!!
Panel 2: Super: It would be wonderful if you were a proper substitue for you brother, but there is no way that you're fit for that kind of responsibility!
Panel 3: Arago: Whether I'm fit for it or not,
Panel 4: Arago: If you don't give me a chance you'll never know, right?
Panel 5: Super: Get out of my office!!
Panel 6: Arago: Haa... they're looking down on me. Arago: I even completed the Detective's training course.
Page 8: Panel 1: Joe: You're most beautiful woman here again today,
Panel 2: Sara: Oh, stop flattering me. Joe: Why should I? You don't need to be so humble. CID Guy: Hey, Joe! Hurry up, would you?
Panel 3: Arago: Plainclothes... CID detectives, huh. Arago: So they even let an old pervert like him in. Arago: Are they investigating something?
Panel 5: Arago: You look happy, don't you. Arago: Something good happened?
Page 9: Panel 1: Arago: What the hell was that for!? CID Guy: You idiot!!!
Panel 2: CID Guy: She just lost her husband in an accident! Why did you say such a thing!!
Panel 3: CID Guy: Got it!? Now hurry up and get back to work!! Arago: So plainclothes are allowed to beat on uniformed officers, huh!? CID Guy: Get lost!!
Panel 4: CID Guy: Geez, even though they're twins there's such an incredible difference from his older brother, isn't there. Joe: Twins?
Panel 5: CID Guy: Yeah, he was killed in the line of duty, Detective Ewan Hunt. CID Guy: He was also assigned to this office and looked exactly the same. He was also quite a smart and capable person.
Panel 6: CID Guy: Their outer appearance is similar, but CID Guy: I can only conclude that their insides aren't, unfortunately. Joe: ......
Panel 7: Joe: Oh, Sheryl! How about another dinner date? Joe: What do you think? CID Guy: Hey, Joe!!!
Page 10: Panel 1: Arago: That's weird... Arago: That old lady from earlier, I coulda sworn she was smiling, and the light she was giving off looked happy, Arago: I saw it, but...
Panel 2: Arago: Ever since I got my revenge on the Patch Man, the world around me has completely changed. Arago: Geez... ganging up on me to make me look dumb Arago: I can see things like people's emotions, apparently it's their life energy or something.
Panel 3: Arago: It looks like a kind of wavering light...
Panel 4: Arago: When it started it was really irritating, but now I'm pretty well used to it. Arago: In other words, I've given up. Arago: Maybe I'm really not cut out for it ...this job...
Panel 5: Arago: Ewan...
Page 11: Panel 1: Arago: Because of the death of the detective that was investigating the Patch Man cases, Arago: Ewan's name became just the last victim in the series of murders.
Panel 2: Arago: A heavy burden was finally lifted from the backs of the police, but it was much too late.
Panel 3: Arago: The Patch Man was erased that night, as the fire burned itself out.
Panel 4: Arago: The truth of this mystery case was hidden in the darkness---
Panel 5: Arago: Any evidence of the Patch Man's existence was completely turned to ashes... Arago: No, Arago: There's still one thing that remains---
Panel 8: Arago: Hey, you okay!?
Page 12: Panel 1: Arago: It's because you were running in a crowd of people, you know.
Panel 2: Arago: Can you stand?
Panel 4: Nina: !!
Panel 5: Arago: Oh crap! Arago: I'm not wearing my glove...!!
Panel 6: Arago: Ah!
Page 13: Panel 1: Arago: In exchange for Ewan's life, this hand took it in, Arago: The Patch Man's power, or so it seems.
Panel 2: Arago: The cursed power that he used to chop my body up back then...
Panel 3: Arago: I see things that can't be seen, and I wound things that I touch. Arago: What is this cursed power?
Panel 4: Arago: Until I can repay Ewan's soul, Arago: What can I do...
Panel 5: Nina: Hey!!
Page 14: Panel 2: Arago: Egh!?
Panel 3: Arago: Guaah!! Nina: Found you! The Galley Beggar monster!
Panel 4: Arago: Youuu... don't screw with me, you damned brat!! Nina: I saw through your disguise! Arago: Wha? Disguise!?
Panel 5: Arago: Your right hand has light coming from it!!
Panel 6: Nina: Since I am here, Nina: I won't let the Galley Beggar do bad things!!
Panel 8: Arago: What the heck, Galley Beggar she said... Arago: And also...
Page 15: Panel 1: Arago: She can see it? Arago: This light...
Panel 2: 1: Well then, see you tomorrow 2: Later, Tiernan. Tiernan: Yeah, take care of yourselves
Panel 3: Tiernan: ... Tiernan: It got pretty chilly, huh...
Page 17: Panel 4: 1: No way, Tiernan did... 2: Yesterday, after we separated at the pub... 3: Yeah, it seems that somehow a life was ended, but...
Panel 5: Super: That's what I'm saying!! Super: It's urgent, you have to send us a replacement officer from the detective's department of the main office!!
Panel 7: Arago: It's so noisy... did something happen...?
Panel 8: Nina: I'm telling you, I saw it!!
Page 18: Panel 1: Nina: And then the old man was surprised, and he jumped into the road!!
Panel 2: Officer: So, it was a ghost... Officer: Eeh, have you been here before, maybe?
Panel 3: Nina: Yeah, thanks. Officer: I'll have someone look into it. Officer: Be careful on your way home.
Panel 5: 1: That kid again? 2: Yeah, she's still saying it was a ghost that caused it, 3: Detective Tiernan's incident--- 4: Do you think she's alright in the head?
Panel 7: 1: She's just telling lies to get attention. 2: A boy who cries wolf, or rather a girl who cries wolf? 3: Yeah, exactly!!
Page 19: Panel 1: Nina: But I'm not lying...
Panel 2: Nina: I really saw it...
Panel 3: Arago: Yo!
Panel 5: Nina: Stay away from me! Arago: Hey now, you're still suspicious of me? Arago: I'm telling you, I'm not that carrot whatever!
Panel 6: Nina: Galley Beggar!! Arago: ?
Panel 7: Nina: It's a ghost surrounded by a glittering light, and looks like a skeleton! Nina: He's afraid of people, so he hurts them!! Nina: The old guy from yesterday too...!!
Page 20: Panel 1: Nina: Oh, leave me alone! No one ever believes anything I say! Arago: I believe you!
Panel 2: Nina: Liar! You're just like all the other policemen! Nina: You don't believe the Galley Beggar exists!!
Panel 3: Arago: Whether or not he does exist, Arago: Since I haven't seen him with my own eyes I can't really say, but...
Panel 4: Arago: I do know that you're not lying about it.
Panel 5: Nina: If you say I'm not lying, Nina: Then yo must think that ghost really does exist, right?
Panel 6: Arago: ...I was the same way back then... Arago: I'm telling you, Mom and Dad were killed by the Patch Man!! Arago: Why won't you believe me!?
Panel 7: Arago: Well, never mind that! Arago: You are not lying!!
Page 21: Panel 1: Arago: I will believe you. So you have to believe me too!!
Panel 2: Arago: Let's take on that ghost together,
Panel 3: Arago: And we'll show everyone else that you were telling the truth!!
Page 22: Panel 3: 1: A person fell from up there!!
Panel 5: Nina: There it is! Up on the bridge!! Arago: Yeah! I saw it too!!
Page 23: Panel 2: Arago: Leave the rest to me! Arago: Don't follow me any further! Nina: No! I'm going too!!
Panel 3: Nina: There's still something I want to do!
Panel 4: GB: HE HE HE, YOU---!! GB: YOU CAN SEE ME!? GB: CHASING ME AROUND SO PERSISTENTLY, YOU BASTARDS!!
Panel 5: Nina: Why are you hurting people!? Nina: You hurt my Mama too!! Nina: Stop doing those things!
Panel 6: GB: HA HA... SO IT'S YOU, LITTLE GIRL. GB: LAST NIGHT, YOU INTERFERED IN MY FUN!

Panel 3: Arago: Back then...
Panel 4: Arago: I'll become stronger by myself. Arago: Even if I'm all alone, I'll be fine...
Between panels: ---In order to protect someone---

Panel 5: GB: HEH, IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT, THEN...
Panel 7: Arago: I'm sorry... just hold on a little longer. I'll finish this up right away...
Panel 8: Arago: It can be done ...I can do this too!!
Page 35: Panel 2: GB: WHA... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? GB: I'M BEING TORN OUT OF HER!!
Panel 3: Arago: Patch Man was able to pull and extract people's souls from their bodies... Arago: If this light has the same power, then Arago: I should be able to do it too!!
Panel 4: Arago: It injures people, Arago: Touching the soul...
Panel 5: Arago: This cursed light that he used to chop me up!
Page 36: Panel 1: GB: I- I SEE, THIS LIGHT... GB: SO IT WAS YOU, HUH...

Panel 5: Arago: ...
Panel 6: Officer: Don't move!!
Page 38: Panel 1: Officer: You, what are you doing there!!
Panel 2: Arago: This is bad, it's the patrol officers... Arago: Hey!! It- It's me!!
Panel 5: Arago: Tch!! Cop: Hey, stop!!
Panel 6: Cop: This is C58DYX!! Cop: We need urgent assistance!!
Panel 7: Cop: An assault suspect wearing a black hood is fleeing!! Cop: Urgent---!!
Page 39: Panel 2: Cop: The injured girl received medical treatment, and presently we are monitoring her condition, Cop: Everyone, pay careful attention during late night patrols for any suspicious persons! Cop: That is all! Dismissed!
Panel 3: 1: Geez, another child. 2: It's really disturbing, isn't it? 3: But there was a handprint burned into her neck, right? 4: Yeah, exactly. And that's not all, the death of the detective is still an unsolved case... 5: Maybe it was the Patch Man!
Panel 4: 1: Isn't it just the work of some dumb copycat criminal? 2: Yeah, if the Patch Man really existed, vampires and other stuff would too!
Panel 5: 1: All of you standing around talking about those kinds of things, are you still children? 2: Monsters, vampires, and all those things are just kid's stories---
Page 40: Panel 1: Arago: Burned the neck... Arago: I'm the one who did that!
Panel 2: Arago: Patch Man? Me!?
Panel 3: Arago: No I'm not, this power is! Arago: It's like I'm living a nightmare...
Panel 4: Arago: I'm lucky the patrol officers didn't see my face... Arago: But, if that kid talks about me... Arago: The Patch Man's crimes will be blamed entirely on me...
Panel 5: Arago: Ah!
Panel 6: Nina: Mr. Policeman?
Panel 7: Nina: Hey,
Panel 9: Arago: Ewan's murder, Arago: I'll be blamed for it...!!
Page 41: Panel 1: Nina: You've got some chocolate, Nina: Right there.
Panel 2: Nina: On your cheek! Arago: Eh!?
Panel 3: Nina: Mama, this is the policeman I told you about! Arago: H- Hey!!
Panel 4: Arago: Why haven't you said anything?
Panel 5: Nina: But it's fine this way. Nina: No one would believe me anyway. Nina: After all, I'm supposed to be a kid that only tells stories to get attention!
Panel 6: Arago: But, you're the one who said it, right? You wanted evidence to solve this important case.
Panel 2: Nina: I'm not that dumb!
Panel 7: Nina: I know. Nina: I know that you wouldn't do such a bad thing.
Page 42: Panel 1: Nina: So then, when I called you the Galley Beggar was just a misunderstanding, Nina: Now, I can definitely see that.
Panel 2: Nina: Your light, it's really gentle. Nina: You were desperately trying to save me.
Panel 4: Nina: Look, for some reason they put on this really exaggerated bandage, Nina: But still, it's really nothing!
Panel 5: Mom: Nina! Nina: Mama!
Panel 6: Nina: No one would believe be, and I was really bitter... Nina: But it was because I was the only one who could see the Galley Beggar.
Panel 7: Nina: But, you did! Nina: You beat the Galley Beggar!
Page 43: Panel 1: Nina: You believed me, Nina: So thank you!
Panel 2: 1: Until I am able to repay Ewan's soul.
Panel 3: Nina: Let's play again some time, okay! Arago: Now, I finally understand this feeling.
Panel 4: Arago: Even if it's the same as the Patch Man's, Arago: Even if this is a cursed power that can injure people... Arago: If this power can be used to save someone ...and make her smile,
Page 44: Panel 1: Arago: Okay!! Arago: If I don't use it,

Page 129: Dirfinge Overall length: 11 Meil (8.9 Meters) It was excavated by Shigwen, therefore replacement parts have been developed for it. It's design is still not well understood, in particular the design of the Inner Frame is a complete mystery. Because of this, the Dirfinge is largely unremodeled. By the way, the protrusion on the elbow is actually a shock absorption system.
Heavy Armor Mode Designed with Defense in Mind The upper body is practically immobile, so it's hand-to-hand combat ability is essentially Zero. The extra armor can be manually detached by the operator. Designed by Shigwen.https://mangahelpers.com/t/xalsow/releases/17188Translation: Nurarihyon no Mago 802009-10-29T19:21:29+00:00Xalsowadmin@mangahelpers.comAll translations (panels, speech bubbles, etc.) start with upper right, moving to lower left.
