8.

Riddle: I’ll play // the funeral march that’s right for you.

==========

Riddle: Hayato-kun, put him inside of the coffin.

Hayato: Okay!

Riddle: Blue roses… // They represent “impossibility”. // A colour of rose that does not exist and could not even be created artificially…

--

Riddle: It seems that you are interested in Hayato-kun… / However, his soul is bound in a contract with me… // The contract proves our unchangeable destiny…

9.

Riddle: You won’t sever the chains of our destiny with that useless sword. // That is completely impossible.

==========

Riddle: My condolences. // Ah… // It’s been a long time since I tried this, so my skills have dropped…

Hayato: No way…all the flowers in this bouquet of roses are cut really well…

10.

Hayato: Wow…

Riddle: Hayato-kun, you did your best too.

Hayato: Hmm?

Riddle: Thank you very much / for protecting me. // I’m very // happy.

==========

Hayato: I didn’t really do it for you… [It was so I could live…]

Riddle: Don’t get embarrassed!

Hayato: I’m not!

Riddle: Ah… // Brad…

Brad: The final examination is over. // I’ll announce the result now.

11.

Brad: Hayato Sakura…your overall score was in the negative… / You’re not suited to being an undertaker. // You failed the examination.

==========

Brad: As promised, I’ll break the contract. // Hayato Sakura… / In the name of your soul’s master…

12.

Brad: I break your contract with Undertaker Riddle!

Hayato: Oww…

Text 1: It hurts…like my heart is being pulled out…

Text 2: At this rate, I’ll die…

Hayato: No!! // No…!!

==========

Text: Eh…?

Brad: Riddle…what are you doing?

Riddle: I should be the one asking that. // The soul was released, Hayato-kun has done his duty. // Isn’t the problem with your examination?

13.

Riddle: I don’t care if you don’t acknowledge him. // But… // When that happens a deep red flower may bloom in your heart.

--

Riddle: I’d like to avoid that if possible… // Please understand, Brad…

Text: Riddle did that to protect me…

==========

Brad: It’s you who doesn’t understand. Whatever he does, he’ll always be a vulgar human. / What could you expect from him?

Hayato: What…?!

Text: No way…could it be…

Hayato: He never intended to do the examination properly anyway?!

Brad: A copycat will always be a copycat! What’s the problem with making that judgement?

Hayato: ….. // I’ll die because of his selfish way of thinking… / No way…

14.

Riddle: Hayato-kun…?

SFX: huff huff

Hayato: Don’t be ridiculous… / Seriously…

==========

Hayato: Shut up! You only say what pleases you! // I’m just an ordinary guy! // I might be nothing to you… / but I was trying my best at being an undertaker so I could live!

Brad: It’s because you’re human that you complain things are difficult right away…

15.

Hayato: I’ll be an undertaker! // Then I’ll be sure to change // your prejudice against me!

16.

SFX: huff huff

==========

Brad: Ha… // Hehehe…

Hayato: What…? // Is there something strange?

Brad: I thought you were just a weak monkey, but you’re the first human to brag like that to me… // How interesting. / I’ve gotten to like you, Hayato Sakura.

17.

Text: The pain’s gone…he saved me?

Brad: I’ll let you pass today. / Now that I’ve formally acknowledged you as an undertaker, don’t let me down.

Hayato: Alright, I won’t!

Brad: However, I won’t be held responsible whatever happens. // If you die, I’ll pick up your bones.

==========

Hayato: Was I too rash?

Riddle: That’s great, Hayato-kun.

Hayato: Riddle…

Riddle: I’m happy too. // Once again, I look forward to working with you.

Hayato: Ah!

Text 1: Hey! What did I go and say?!

Text 2: Will I be okay from now on?

Riddle: Hayato-kun?!

18.

Riddle: Ah…you’ve fallen asleep? / It’s because you did too much while your body was in pain… // Ah…Brad… // How will you report what happened today to your master?

Brad: What are you talking about?

Riddle: I know you’ve been investigating me recently… // Hayato-kun’s examination was just part of that…am I wrong?

Brad: That’s a confidential matter. / I don’t have any obligation to tell you.

Riddle: Well, that’s enough for today… He’ll wake up if we make too much noise…

==========

Brad: Riddle… // You’re…

Riddle: Yes?

Brad: No… / It had nothing to do with my work in the first place.

19.

Hayato: Since seriously becoming an undertaker, I’ve been worrying about some things… / My body isn’t feeling so stiff anymore… // Could I have gotten fitter?! [I’ll be popular with normal girls too!]

In panel:
Kyaa…Sakura-kun! [top of picture]
Hahaha [Hayato’s speech in the picture]
You’re so manly! [bottom of picture]

Riddle: That’s great Hayato-kun! // I think there are some things you become used to…

Hayato: Wait a minute…things I’ve gotten used to? // Isn’t that like saying I’ve become less human?

==========

Riddle: Well…what do you think?

Hayato: Uwaa…what’s with that deceptive look? [Don’t laugh!] // I don’t want to be an undertaker after all!

Riddle: I don’t appreciate that attitude, Hayato-kun. // You said some pretty impressive things to Brad, but you’re already complaining?

Hayato: [Well…] I did…

Riddle: Try and think about it. / Brad acknowledged you and your body’s gotten used to this work, right?

20.

Riddle: You’ve got a job for life as an undertakerr… // Doesn’t that make your life quite secure? // There’s no problem even if it’s not that normal.

In panel: Right?

Text 1: My condolences (haha).

Hayato: There’s nothing but problems! You angel of death! [Are you even going to return my soul?!]

Riddle: [Hahaha] You’re so lively early in the morning, Hayato-kun.

In panel: Let’s go to the funeral!

Text 2: I’m going to kill him one day!
