Riddle: A young man’s face twisted in anguish… / Ah…I feel so calm…

Hayato: Uh… // Hey…!

Box: Hayato-kun

Hayato: You said this was special training…but hanging upside down like this isn’t normal! // My blood’s running to my head…that means I’m at my limit! / Now’s not the time for you to be having tea!

Riddle: You look better crying than you do smiling!

In panel: I discovered something interesting!

Hayato: Listen to me!

6.

Hayato: Hey…I might as well ask… // If I complete the special training, I’ll get to meet your superiors, right?

Riddle: Hmm…did I say that?

Hayato: Huh?! // He tricked me…

SFX: smile

Hayato: You… [I’d punch you if I could move!]

Naoya: Big brother…you’re too loud! You’re disturbing my studies! // Please be a little more considerate… // Ah…

7.

Hayato: It’s not my fault, Naoya! // It’s all his fault! Don’t get mad at me…

8.

Naoya: Big brother…what are you talking about? / Where is the person you’re talking about?

In panel: I was sure you had a friend over…

Hayato: Eh?

Riddle: Most humans cannot interact with my world. // That’s why he can’t see me or hear my voice. // People with strong spiritual powers like you are an exception.

9.

Hayato: That’s it…I can see him because of my spiritual powers… // I forgot…

Naoya: [Jeez…] I’m worried about your future… // You never study and you’re always playing video games… / You know you only get good grades in gym class…

--

Naoya: You have such bad manners, you can’t even cook or clean properly. // What’s more, you’re shorter than me. No one would know you’re the older brother…

In panel: I can’t even see you from here…

Hayato: Leave me alone!

In panel: You’re the one who’s too tall!

10.

Riddle: Your brother is quite different from you, Hayato-kun.

In panel: He seems quite grown up…

Hayato: You really are rude! / Just because you’re kinda smart!

Naoya: Well, I don’t want to be an idiot like you.

Hayato: What?!

Naoya: Just stop getting in my way. / Be quiet while I’m studying… // Oww…

Hayato: What’s wrong, Naoya?

Naoya: Nothing…I’ve just got a bad headache today.

11.

Hayato: You look pale… / You’ve been trying to get into a famous high school, so you haven’t been sleeping much, right? // You should get some rest, or go to the hospital…

Naoya: Shut up! // Instead of worrying about me, why don’t you worry about your own stupidity? // You annoying idiot!

Hayato: What…? // That’s not cute!

12.

Hayato: Yeah…do what you want! / I don’t care if you collapse!

Riddle: [Ah] Is it okay to leave him alone like that?

Hayato: I don’t care if he dies! // Even though I’m worried about him… // Damn it…

Riddle: Ah…

13.

Riddle: I feel sorry for Naoya-kun. / He’s feeling sick, but you’ve left him alone… // He might really die if someone doesn’t look after him…

Hayato: What…?

Riddle: When that happens, I’ll give him a touching funeral…in place of his brother who abandoned him…

Naoya: Eh?

Hayato: I get it! I’ll look after him!

Naoya: Uwaa!

Riddle: [Ah] You’re such a kind brother, Hayato-kun.

Hayato: It’s only because you were saying such morbid things! [Damn]

14.

Naoya: Hey… / What?! // Ah…

Hayato: You’re going to rest the whole day! // That’s an order!

Naoya: Huh?!

15.

Naoya: What are you talking about? There’s no way I can rest! / I’ve got an important practice test this evening at prep school!

Hayato: You idiot! It’s no good doing a test while you’re like this!

Naoya: Well, yeah…

Hayato: I’m going to take your books away now!

Naoya: Eh? // You don’t have to do that!

In panel: Every minute counts!

Hayato: You’ll start studying if I don’t! You bookworm! / I’ll burn all of them if you don’t do what I say! // Just wait while I bring you some medicine!

In panel: Burn them?!

16.

Naoya: Big brother… / Wait a minute!

Hayato: [Jeez…] He certainly talks a lot for someone who’s sick…

Riddle: There’s no need to be stubborn, just help him…

Hayato: Shut up! [You’re so noisy, it can’t be helped…] // Well, he said he had a headache… / There was aspirin in the living room…

Riddle: A headache… // That bothers me a little… // The way Naoya-kun is acting…

Hayato: You’re bothered about it… / Could it be an evil spirit?!

17.

Riddle: No…spirits aren’t able to enter. // I’ve put a barrier up around the whole house.

Hayato: Well, we should be safe then… // When did you do that anyway?!

In panel: Spirits have been coming into the house recently?!

Riddle: Doesn’t it make sense to take action right away? // At any rate, your soul…

18.

Riddle: Of course I wouldn’t get any rest in this house, when your soul attracts so many spirits.

Hayato: Don’t say that!!

In panel: When did this become your home anyway?!

Hayato: Well, as long as it’s not the work of a spirit… // Ah, there’s the aspirin. // Water to take the medicine with, / a thermometer and a fever cooling patch. // Alright, this is all I need.

Riddle: [Ah] Aren’t you forgetting something important, Hayato-kun?

Hayato: Hmm? // Something important?

19.

Naoya: Mmm… // I fell asleep…

Text 1: It’s just like Hayato said…

Text 2: I guess I’m tired…

Naoya: Ah…

20.

Naoya: What’s that?

Hayato: Eh… / Well…

21.

Hayato: My friend’s a florist… / I went around there and bought these… // He said that “Admiring flowers puts you at ease”.

Riddle: I’m not a florist, I’m an undertaker.

In panel: I’m not your friend, I’m your contractor.

Hayato: Shut up! [You’re a terrible actor!]

Naoya: They’re beautiful… // I guess I haven’t had much time to myself… / I’ve forgotten how long it’s been since I’ve taken the time to look at flowers.

Hayato: You’ve always tried hard at your studies. // You go to cram school and prep school too…

22.

Naoya: That’s because I don’t want to be like you.

Hayato: You…just when I thought you were being kind!

Naoya: But… // Thanks for / worrying about me…

23.

Hayato: Okay!

Naoya: Uwaa! // What? / You idiot!

In panel: Make sure to take that medicine!

Hayato: [Yeah, yeah] Take your time resting!

24.

Text 1: Even when I thought my brother was rude and an idiot

Text 2: He still thought to bring me flowers…

Text 3: I’ve changed my opinion of him…

Naoya: Even though flowers might have been overdoing it… // I don’t think he ever mentioned having a friend who was a florist…

In panel: Hmm?

Naoya: Oh well…

25.

Naoya: Oww… // Huh? My head hurts more than before all of a sudden… // Like my head’s about to split open… // No…help me…Hayato…

27.

Hayato: Okay! I’m done looking after him for the time being…

Riddle: You seem to be satisfied.

Hayato: [Ah…] Like you said, taking care of him was the right choice… / Naoya seems to be feeling better…thanks…

Riddle: I’m glad you’re smiling again too.

Text 1: I thought Riddle was the kind of guy to say mean things all the time…

Text 2: He’s actually pretty nice…?

Riddle: It’s more fun to make you cry when you’re smiling… // Alright, let’s continue the special training we started earlier.

Hayato: Wait…nooo!

28.

Hayato: What was that sound just now…? // It sounded like something breaking… // Naoya…what’s wrong? Are you okay? [Do you need any help?] // Hey…are you listening, Naoya?!

29.

Hayato: Huh…? // This room…

Riddle: This isn’t… // Naoya-kun’s style, is it?

Hayato: Of course not! / What on earth is going on here?!

Riddle: Hayato-kun…in front of you!

32.

Hayato: Naoya! // Damn…they won’t come off! / Who could have done this…?

33.

Riddle: It’s probably… // Hayato-kun, excuse me a moment…

Hayato: Eh…?

35.

Hayato: Is that a bullet…?

Riddle: Yes

36.

Hayato: Are you serious? / It’s the real thing?

Riddle: That was dangerous…if I’d been a second later, you would have been shot in the head. // Why don’t you make it into a pendant to remind you that you barely escaped death?

Hayato: I don’t need that! [That’s terrible!]

Noir: Undertaker, I’m impressed. / It was inconsiderate of me to great you with a bullet…

Riddle: That’s right…you are also quite impressive…

37.

Riddle: An evil spirit able to remove my hat… // This is the first time I’ve been disgraced like this…

38.

Noir: My name is Noir. // I am the one who engraves the souls of blood and darkness in people’s hearts.

39.

Noir: Hayato Sakura / Do you have any regrets about your soul? // If you do, then sacrifice it… // to my master!

40.

Hayato: What…?!

Text: Hayato has been targeted again! Now is the time for him to make his move!
