Text: A new truth is understood…
Faust: Hayato Sakura’s soul has been stolen by someone else. // The enemy of the catacomb and us undertakers… // An evil spirit…
Hayato: No…I was going to get my soul back if I met the king…why did an evil spirit…
[sfx] clatter
Hayato: Why…? What for…?!
4.
Riddle: I see…Hayato-kun’s soul is stronger than those of other humans… / If part of his soul is missing, he can’t become king and the catacomb will be destroyed. // Which means that they have the upper hand.
Hayato: Why are you impressed?! // Damn it…now’s not the time to be relaxing and drinking tea! // I’ll find that evil spirit and get my soul back for sure! / Let’s go, Riddle!
[sfx] click
[sfx] bang
5.
Hayato: Wha…
Brad: The enemy is sure to come looking for the rest of your soul…what good is carelessly going back to the real world? // If you’re serious, then you’re even more stupid than a monkey!

Hayato: B-But…
7.
Brad: Do you have any problem with that?
Hayato: N-No…I’m really grateful for that…
Text 1: Never mind how dangerous it is, is it really okay for me not to do anything?
Text 2: Even though it’s my soul…
Faust: Riddle, you take part in the search too. // We won’t miss anything if there are a lot of people searching.
Riddle: Well, well…I don’t mind…
[sfx] clatter
8.
[sfx] bang
Riddle: But you can’t be suggesting // that I go alone?
Faust: What are you trying to say, Riddle?
9.
Riddle: As you know, when an undertaker shares their soul, they are one existence formed of two people. / They can only use half of their true power if they’re just a fragment. // Making me go like this
[sfx] hehe
Riddle: is the same as sending me to die.
Hayato: R-Riddle! / I’ll go too!
[sfx] clatter
Faust: Wha…
10.
Faust: You can’t do that, Hayato Sakura!
Hayato: I’m sorry, King…but I want to go! // I don’t like to admit it, but I’m actually indebted to Riddle because he’s done a lot for me! And… // I can’t just watch while someone is working for my sake!! // I can’t stand doing something so pathetic!
11.
Hayato: I want to go with Riddle too… / Please…!
Riddle: Hayato-kun…!
Faust: I don’t have a choice. / Riddle’s got his reason too…fine.
[sfx] sigh
Hayato: ….
Faust: Since you said that, you must have quite a lot of confidence in your skills. / Hayato Sakura
[sfx] shock
Hayato: Eh… // W-Well…about that…
12.
Text 1: I haven’t done kendo or judo…
Text 2: The battles I’ve had with evil spirits so far…they were more like running away while waiting for the right opportunity…
Hayato: The king’s smile…her smile is scary!!
[big sfx] rumble
[small sfx] eeeek
Hayato: I can’t say it…I’m really not confident…but I can’t say that!
[sfx] shiver
Faust: I understand, we’ll do it like this then.
[sfx] shock
13.
Faust: I’ll teach you how to fight. // If you can successfully learn that, then you’ll go to the real world as an undertaker. // It’d be no good if you fell into the hands of an evil spirit. / Is that okay?
[sfx] smile
Hayato: King…
Riddle: Well, that’s much appreciated. / You must have her teach you, Hayato-kun.
14.
Hayato: King… / Ah… // Thank you very much!

Hayato: ~~~~ / ~~~~
In panel: Ah It hurts, it hurts!

Faust: Ah!
Text 1: I thought the King was a scary person, but she’s a nice person after all. She’s taking care of all these things…
Hayato: I don’t know anything about fighting, but I’m good at sports!
Text 2: Okay! I’ll take whatever special training they throw at me!

[sfx] glow
Hayato: Eh… // W-What is this…? // A rose mark?!
19.
Faust: I partially activated the Twilight Key inside you.
Hayato: Activated it?
Faust: I said I was going to teach you how to fight, didn’t I? // As I explained, the Twilight Key has the power to create and destroy worlds… // Shall we try it out? // First, touch that vase with your hand.
Hayato: L-Like this?
Faust: Yes, then visualise breaking it. / If you do that, the vase should break.
Text 1: This is a way of fighting…?
Text 2: As if this could be real…

Riddle: …It’s okay. // There’s no need to worry. // He seems to be safe.
[sfx] dangle
Hayato: How… / does it look like that?!
24.
[sfx bubble] huff
Faust: That’s the destructive power of the Twilight Key. / It was your first time, so it seems you weren’t able to control it.
Hayato: D-Did I really do that? // I-I’m sorry, King. I don’t really get it, but I destroyed the room…
Faust: It’s okay. At times like this, use the power of regeneration. // Visualise what it was like before it was broken and get it back to normal.
Hayato: Okay… / Got it…

25.
[sfx] rumble

Riddle: Ah, it was a great success this time.
Hayato: Wow… / It went back to normal all of a sudden!
26.
Hayato: This is the Twilight Key…
Riddle: Hayato-kun, that mark…doesn’t it look different from before?
Hayato: Eh? // It’s true… // I’m sure it was a big rose earlier…! Why…?
Faust: I have a warning for you. // You can only use the Twilight Key three times in one go. / When you’ve used it three times, all the petals disappear. // It’s a sign for you to rest.
27.
Faust: If you use the Twilight Key anymore than that while your soul is missing, your body won’t last. // Please just remember that…alright?
Hayato: O-Okay… / Which means I can only use it once more today.
Faust: Yes // There are limits, but if you use it carefully, I’m sure it’ll be useful.
Hayato: That’s right…with such an amazing power, I might be able to take on evil spirits like Noir…!
[sfx] blush
28.
Hayato: Wow…thank you so much, King!
[sfx] grab
Faust: Hehe…I’m so glad you’re happy!
[sfx] annoyed
Riddle: Hayato-kun, please let me relax a little now. / All you could do before was run around, you see.

Secretary: King…Brad-sama…this is bad! / It’s a state of emergency!
Faust: Ah…the secretaries! What’s the matter?
Brad: How insolent! You’re in front of the King! / Calm down and explain what happened.
Secretary 1: Well, something terrible is happening in the real world…!
Secretary 2: Ah, that’s not fair…I got here first!
Secretary 1: What’s that got to do with it? Our department is having a hard time! Give it to me!

Brad: You didn’t hear what I said…?
31.
[sfx] smack
Secretaries: We’ll explain carefully!
Secretary: A-Actually, the number of deceased suddenly increased…
Brad: There’s no shortage of deaths in the real world…it happens everyday…
Secretary: No, you see… // The deceased… / are all people who weren’t scheduled to die!
32.
Faust: How awful…
Hayato: What does it mean?
Faust: The destiny of humans is decided in advance. / For example, it’s so absolute that it’s decided whether the death is accidental or not.
Brad: Unscheduled deaths one after another… / What on earth could be going wrong…?
Evil spirit: That’s simple.
33.
[sfx] bang
Evil spirit: I was the one // who took all those souls.

Text 1: Have you memorised that scene?
Text 2: Then hurry up and come to play!
Text 3: I have one of the things you’re looking for…
Hayato: ….
39.
Hayato: What I’m looking for… // It can’t be…he has my soul?
Riddle: Hayato-kun…what did the evil spirit show you earlier?
Hayato: Umm…I think it was the real world. It was like a school…or a church… // It isn’t a place I know, but I feel as if I know where it is.
40.
Riddle: I see…he’s gone to the effort of politely inviting us… // Without a doubt, // he’s challenging us to a battle. // There’s a high possibility of it being a trap…it’s very dangerous. / What will you do, Hayato-kun?
[sfx] crush
Hayato: That’s obvious!
41.
Hayato: Perfect! // We’ll go there and give him the last rites, just like he wants! // To prevent anymore people dying… / To get my soul back… // And…
Riddle: And…?
42.
Hayato: Giving evil spirits a funeral is an undertaker’s job! // Right…?

In panel: I did it! Yay!
Hayato: My efforts have finally been recognised!
Brad: It doesn’t mean that…
4.
Brad: It means that the boss wants to meet Hayato-sama, the holder of the Twilight Key.
Hayato: H-Huh? I see… // Oh well, as long I get to meet the boss… // Anyway, you’ve been calling me “Hayato-sama” for a while. / It’s creepy.
Brad: It’s natural to respect the holder of the Twilight Key. // What’s wrong with that?

Text 2: In that world, it means that I’m called “Hayato-sama”, I get invited by the the boss and I’m suddenly great?

Brad: Hayato-sama…don’t you know? // The catacomb is the where you go when you’re dead.
Hayato: Umm…but I’m still alive…
Brad: Don’t worry. / In your case, it doesn’t mean you’ll be dying, you’ll definitely return to the human world.

Riddle Ah, you don’t have to be so frightened… / You’re unexpectedly delicate.
Hayato: No…a normal person would be scared! // Anyway, this massive castle is too atmospheric… // It wouldn’t be strange if a vampire lived here…
Brad: It’s the castle of judgement. / It’s where the King of the Catacomb lives and where the judgement of souls takes place.
Hayato: Judgement of souls?
15.
Brad: Souls from all over the world are brought to this castle. / Then the king judges whether they will go to heaven or hell.
Riddle: By the way, souls that don’t go to heaven or hell end up working in this castle. / Brad and I are those incomplete people.
In panel: I’m not like you…
Hayato: Hmm… // In other words, the king is a huge demon… // What should I do? I’d be scared if something like that appeared…

Brad: Please have it with this aromatic Earl Grey.
Riddle: You’re always such a brilliant worker. / Just what you’d expect from a workaholic.

26.
Faust: The Crown Prince, future King of the Catacomb. // My successor.
Hayato: …Eh…?
27.
Hayato: Umm…is this some kind of mistake? / I’m just a normal person…
Faust: No // The Twilight Key you hold qualifies you to become king. // Of course, I have one too.
----
Faust: The Twilight Key is a “god’s power”, one with the ability to destroy or create worlds. / Only the chosen ones are born with this power in their bodies. // Generations of people who possessed the Twilight Key have ruled the catacomb and supported it with that power.
Hayato: A god’s power…the Twilight Key is something so important…
28.
Faust: However, the catacomb has been damaged by attacks from evil spirits. // At this rate, it’s clear that I won’t be able to keep supporting it with my Twilight Key… // That’s why I want you to become the next king and using a new power, support the catacomb instead of me.
----
Faust: As the king, I have a duty to protect the catacomb. // Please, Hayato Sakura.
Hayato: If you ask one of the other Twilight Keys…
Faust: People born with it don’t appear often…it’s just you and me right now.
Hayato: N-No…
29.
Faust: But… / You’re not ready to become king yet.
Hayato: Eh…
Riddle: Part of your soul is missing, which means that the Twilight Key is incomplete. // Well, the king who stands at the summit of the souls should be able to solve that.
Hayato: That’s right! I came to ask about that!
[sfx] jump
Hayato: The missing part of my soul already ascended…so the king should be able to return it!

Riddle: That can’t be… / I’m sure we saw it ascending. // But it hasn’t come to the catacomb, which means…
Faust: Yes…in other words…

Faust: Hayato Sakura’s soul has // been stolen by someone else.
34.
Faust: It’s likely to be the enemy / of the catacomb and us undertakers… // An evil spirit…

Text 1: I’ll ignore the cruel story and only wish for you.
Text 2: Funeral 7 - The Undertaker Recites
Text 3: Akai Higasa
2.
Riddle: My condolences.
Text: The funeral is over. The work is already done, but…?
Riddle: Pitiful lost soul, I hope you will be at peace somehow…
Hayato: Alright! The funeral was a great success!
3.
Riddle: I wouldn’t say that, it was more like half successful… // You ran into a tree while you were acting as a decoy…
Hayato: Gyaaa!
Riddle: Hayato-kun disappeared?
Hayato: Shut up!
Riddle: Well, today’s funeral is over. // Your enthusiasm was quite surprising. It was thanks to that we made progress!
Hayato: [Huh?] It’s not like I was enthusiastic…that guy, Noir…the one trying to get the Twilight Key inside of me / It just annoys me to lose to him… // To win next time, I’ve got train harder… // It’d be no good if I kept hesitating about being an undertaker!
Riddle: Hayato-kun, it seems like you’ve matured a little!
In panel: Okay, good boy!
Hayato: You didn’t have to say “a little”! [You’re making a fool of me!]
4.
Hayato: Jeez…he always says such awful things! [It annoys me…] // Hmm? // Oh? // This is… // The place where I first met you…
5.
Riddle: [Ah] It’s been a long time…
Text 1: This is where it began…
Text 2: I met Riddle, made a contract and a lot happened…
Text 3: Hmm?
Text 4: Wait a minute…
Hayato: Considering that a lot’s happened // I don’t know anything about Riddle…
In panel: Mystery
Hayato: To be honest, I don’t even know undertakers…
Riddle: Well, that’s enough reminiscing… / The funeral is over, so I’ll take my leave.
Hayato: Eh?
6.
Hayato: Wait a minute…sit here!
Riddle: You want advice about being an undertaker again?
Hayato: No, it’s not that… [Umm…] // Have you got any family?
Riddle: Huh?
Hayato: I’m asking if you’ve got any family! // Asking a question now / seems kinda embarrassing though…
Riddle: I’m already dead, so I don’t have any family.
In panel: On the other hand, if I was alive, that would have been a frighteningly long time ago…
7.
Hayato: Then…how old are you? / Your age!
Riddle: I’m twenty…well, that’s how old I was when I died…
Hayato: Then we’re quite close in age…
In panel: Hmm…three years older… Got it!
Riddle: Why are you asking me anyway, Hayato-kun? [How strange…are you planning something?]
Hayato: Eh…no… / I just thought that I didn’t know anything about you… // [You see] We’re both trying to defeat evil spirits, which makes us friends, right? // It seemed strange that I didn’t know anything about you… // Well, it seems a bit late to be thinking that… [Hahaha]
Riddle: Friends? / I see…
8.
Riddle: The idea of friends / is quite ridiculous. // I don’t care about that.
Hayato: What?! // Why… // did you say it’s ridiculous?!
9.
Riddle: You’ve only been around 17 years, so you might not know // Not only are people’s feelings false, they can change very easily depending on the situation. // So, being tied to your feelings… / will eventually destroy a relationship… // It’s meaningless unless you tie yourself to something more fundamental.
Hayato: Riddle…?
Riddle: Hayato-kun…
10.
Riddle: I’m only interested in // bonds that last for eternity.
Hayato: Bonds that last… // for eternity?
Riddle: Yes, especially the relationship between you and I …
11.
Riddle: We are connected by the fact that we share a soul, having transcended feelings and will. // You cannot live without me. // If I disappear, I’ll disappear from your body too… // You’ll die.
Text: I won’t allow betrayal or escape…
Riddle: What do you think? There’s no greater bond. Don’t you think it’s wonderful?
Hayato: He says scary things so easily… // Why me…? Is it because I have the Twilight Key…?
12.
Text 1: But am I the only one
Text 2: who thinks those scary thoughts
Text 3: are kind of sad…?
Riddle: What’s wrong, Hayato-kun? // Why do you look so sad?
Hayato: I feel kind of / sorry for you.
13.
Riddle: Sorry / for me?
Hayato: A contract isn’t like a threat… // Doing that to someone… / That’s… // …..
14.
Riddle: Well, well / I appreciate your opinion. // I’m sure that I’ll learn from it. // Ah…it seems there’s still one left… // Hayato-kun, that’s enough talking. // Do your job as an undertaker…
15.
Riddle: Hayato-kun? // I’ve got no choice then.
Spirit: Ughhh!
Riddle: Hayato-kun…what are you spacing out for?
16.
Riddle: ….. // What?! // A floating spirit… / It can’t be…it was behind too…
Hayato: Riddle… // Hurry up and send this one off too! You idiot!
17.
Riddle: ….. // My condolences, Hayato-kun.
18.
Hayato: Owww!
Riddle: Why did you overdo it?
In panel: Well, well…let me see.
Hayato: But I had no choice! / You would have been hit if I’d dodged! [Understand?!]
Riddle: Well, of course… / You’ll die if I do… // As long as the contract exists…
Hayato: No… / I wasn’t… // thinking anything like that…
19.
Hayato: Riddle… / The contract might be absolute… // but I’m sure that’s not the only important thing. // I don’t really know what it is / but I wouldn’t protect you immediately just because of a contract… // That’s what I think…
20.
Text 1: Well…
Text 2: Could it be
Text 3: that he only believes in the contract?
Text 4: His confidence always annoys me and he’s arrogant…
Text 5: but he’s really a coward…
Text 6: It’s only with a contract that he can relax…
Text 7: That’s why he was so happy when the ring changed?
Text 8: In that case…
21.
Riddle: Hayato-kun…?
22.
Riddle: What was // that just now?
In panel: Give me back my hat.
Hayato: Umm…it was nothing!
Text 1: An eternal bond…? That’s what Riddle wants…? I’m curious about a lot of things…
Text 2: I’ll listen when Riddle wants to talk about it.
23.
Text: Hmm…?
24.
Brad: Long time, no see.
Riddle: Brad…
Hayato: [Ugh] Glasses wearing demon!
Brad: Who are you calling glasses wearing demon? You monkey! [Ah]
In panel: Fountain pen
Hayato: [Ouch] Owww!
Outside panel: Doesn’t really hurt
25.
Hayato: Why are you here anyway? / Are you a stalker?!
Riddle: [Ah] Hayato-kun doesn’t know. / Chasing me around is Brad’s hobby.
Hayato: Eh? How creepy!
Brad: It’s my job.
In panel: However, I can’t say because it’s top secret.
Riddle: Hey, Brad… [Hehe]
Brad: Be quiet, Riddle. // I’m not here to see you today. I’m here to see Hayato Sakura.
Hayato: I hope he’s not stalking me this time…
In panel: [Big text] Drag My, my…how upfront
Brad: That’s enough!
26.
Brad: Head Secretary Brad // I’ve been ordered by our great King of the Graveyard to bring you imperial orders.
27.
Brad: Hayato Sakura / sama
Text: Eh…?
Hayato: Eh…?!
28.
[SFX bubbles] huff
Noir: Damn it…I’ve got to get back the lost part of my soul… // And hurry to meet my master…
Eve: Noir-senpai! Are you okay?! // You failed your mission?
Noir: Eve…why are you here?
Eve: Don’t worry! Actually, the master told me to relieve your pain!
Noir: Relieve my pain…?
30.
[SFX bubble] grab
[SFX bubble] ah
Eve: See… / You can’t feel anything now… // Ah! My clothes are dirty! How ugly… / I’ve got to throw them away! Right, Neusch?
Neusch: Throw / them away!
Eve: I’m surprised they couldn’t give Noir-senpai a funeral. // Undertakers aren’t anything special~
31.
Eve: So they won’t get in the way of our mission. // The Twilight Key is ours alone. // It’s exciting! // Isn’t that right… / Neusch?

1.
Hayato: Attacking Naoya, who had nothing to do with this, in order to get to me! // I’ll never forgive him! // I’ve removed his soul! He can’t move! / Do it, Riddle!
Riddle: Very well. / Now is the beginning of a ceremony coloured by death.
Text 1: Preparations OK!
Text 2: Undertaker Riddle
2.
Riddle: I’ll… // invite you to a catacomb buried in eternal darkness.
Text 1: The Undertaker’s Delight.
Text 2: Higasa Akai
3.
Riddle: Well…Noir-san, how about it? / Why don’t you tell us the name of your master? // It’s up to you whether your soul is saved or if you burn eternally in the fires of hell.
Noir: I refuse. / My master’s life is my flesh and blood…having life is the same as death…
Riddle: Ah…you’re a well trained dog. / I have no further use of you then.
4.
Riddle: Please sleep peacefully.
Hayato: What…?
5.
Noir: That’s right… / My master’s life is my flesh and blood… // As long as my master’s order exists, my life is also eternal. // It won’t ever decay!
6.
Hayato: The coffin broke?! // How?!
Riddle: The funeral should have been perfect. / You were probably unable to completely remove his soul earlier.
Hayato: …..
Noir: How unfortunate. // I’ve lost more power than I thought… // I’m at a disadvantage now… / I’m leaving this place…
7.
Noir: I’ll be certain to take the “Twilight Key” when we meet again…
Hayato: What…?
8.
Hayato: Ah…the room’s back to normal…
Riddle: It seems that he realised he was at a disadvantage and completely separated himself from Naoya, returning everything to normal.
Hayato: The evil spirit has gone! So…
Naoya: Uh…
Hayato: Naoya… / Are you okay?!
Naoya: Oh…what happened to the flowers you gave me? / I feel like I had a strange dream…
9.
Text 1: He doesn’t know that he got caught…he was unconscious…
Text 2: It’s better for him not to know about evil spirits…
Hayato: Take your time resting for now, okay?
Naoya: Yeah…I’m not feeling well, so resting for today won’t be a problem… // I’ve got to start studying again tomorrow morning…
Hayato: Haha…you’re thinking about studying at a time like this…
SFX: zzz
Text: I’m glad he’s safe…
Riddle: Hayato-kun… / I’d like to talk to you soon…may I?
In panel: Don’t just pretend I’m not here…
Hayato: Oww…!
10.
Riddle: [Well, well] This looks like it’s going to end up being quite dangerous. / If you get your soul back and stop being an undertaker, but you’re still attacked by spirits, this will have been meaningless.
Hayato: So, sending him off will happen later…
Text: That’s right…he was so strong, if I wasn’t an undertaker I would have been killed instantly…
Riddle: Hayato-kun?
Hayato: Was it okay that we weren’t able to send him off this time?
11.
Riddle: I don’t like hearing those words. // Do you intend to face evil spirits with that weak attitude? // Your complaining hurts my ears. // Anxiety is a useless feeling.
Hayato: …..
12.
Hayato: I can’t help saying that… // That evil spirit was completely different from the rest… // I’m really worried about not being able to send that spirit off! // What’s wrong with that?! // It might be useless to you… // but complaining is natural for humans…
Riddle: That’s why I said it was useless.
13.
Riddle: I’m by your side… // Why do you need to worry?
14.
Riddle: I’m your ally. / There’s no way that you’ll lose.
Hayato: Where did that confidence come from?
In panel: A great man…
Riddle: I’ve always thought that… // Even though you made a contract with me / you fight in such a clumsy way. [I can’t stand looking.]
In panel: Clumsy
Riddle: But I have one wish of you. // Please accept the fact that I’ve made a contract with you.
Hayato: Accept?
Riddle: Accept reality and fight. // If you don’t, we won’t be truly connected and won’t be able to show our true powers. // We won’t be able to protect what’s important.
15.
Riddle: Are you okay with that? // Hayato-kun
Text 1: I’m prepared…
Text 2: That’s right….when the people around me get involved, I need that power to help them.
Text 3: It’s true that I wished to be an undertaker when I saved Naoya.
Text 4: For what I want to protect… For me…
Text 5: Together with you…
16.
Text: I’ll fight as an undertaker!
Hayato: Huh? // The ring… // changed shape?!
17.
Hayato: Why? Did you do this, Riddle?
Riddle: No… // This is the “Contract of Rosenkreuz” / This is the ring’s complete form, proof that both partners truly desire the contract… // We have exchanged a true contract. // Hayato-kun
Hayato: A beautiful, bright red ring…
Text: Does this mean I’ve gotten a little stronger…?
18.
Riddle: I’m glad… You’re a suitable contractor for me after all…
sfx: kiss
Riddle: I was sure that you would prove this to me.
Hayato: ….. // What?! You’re too happy about a simple ring! / You make a big deal of everything! // What am I blushing for?!
Riddle: I’m not making a big deal. // This is the happiest thing to me…
19.
Riddle: Because you kept // the promise from that time…
Hayato: Did you say something just now?
Riddle: No, nothing at all.
20.
Hayato: Hearing things at your age, Hayato-kun?
In panel: Or have you gone mad?
Hayato: No…don’t make me out to be an old man! [Always finding fault with me!]
Riddle: [Ah] that’s right…you’re 17, aren’t you? / You’re so childish, I was sure you were in elementary school.
Hayato: Me?! How annoying…I should kill you after all…!
Naoya: Brother… // Talking to yourself again? While I was asleep too… / I woke up in the end though…
Hayato: Riddle…now that we’ve got a true contract…you can help me, right? // Help me…
21.
Riddle: However, Hayato-kun / As Naoya-kun is well, that means he’s able to fight too. // A fight between brothers is none of an undertaker’s business. // My condolences, Hayato-kun.
Hayato: But… / But…
Naoya: Stupid Hayato!
Hayato: I’m the only one who loses in the end!
22.
Brad: That’s the end of the report.
Man: Riddle…he made a contract with a human without an examination… // What on earth is he planning? // Alright… To find out his true aim, I’ll give him an imperial command… / Brad, make the preparations…
Brad: What…?
Text 1: Never mind Riddle, it’s still too much for Hayato Sakura…
Text 2: However, I can only carry out my duty…
Brad: I understand… // Everything will be as you wish…
23.
Man: Well, Riddle…and Hayato Sakura… // Show me… // The funeral march that you will play…

Noir: You are the “Twilight Key”, an immense, hidden power. // With that, one can have all they desire…that is my master’s wish.
Text 1: Undertaker Riddle
Text 2: Hayato is being attacked…
Noir: Hayato Sakura…will you come with me? // To my master…!
Hayato: What…?
2.
Text 1: Funeral 5 - The Undertaker is Exposed.
Text 2: A strong, unseen bond.
Text 3: Higasa Akai
3.
Text 1: This feeling…is it an evil spirit? Is he the one who attacked Naoya?
Text 2: I have that power…?
Hayato: I don’t have that kind of power! / There’s no use in you doing this! Let Naoya go!
Riddle: Unfortunately, it’s the truth, Hayato-kun. // Your genetic makeup is the greatest proof of that. / The spirits liking you…that’s just their natural reaction to the power inside you.
4.
Riddle: That’s quite cruel of you…involving someone else in order to get Hayato-kun.
Hayato: What do you mean…?
Riddle: Spirits shouldn’t be able to pass the barrier I created…but this one did… // He probably used Naoya-kun to break through the barrier. / His soul is destined to grow tired and eventually die… // Naoya-kun has been used for a long time, so his life in danger…
Hayato: What…?
Text: Naoya’s going to die if this continues…
Noir: As expected, you’re an intelligent man, Undertaker.
Riddle: There’s nothing left for Hayato-kun to do but go…it’s troublesome that Naoya-kun has been taken hostage. // What does your master want?
5.
Noir: I have no interest in talking about pointless things. // I’m only here to take Hayato Sakura. I won’t reveal the orders given to me. // Come to us. // Your brother’s soul will decay if you don’t…
Text 1: Even though it’s an older brother’s duty to protect his younger brother, Naoya was…
Text 2: The only way for me to save Naoya is to follow him…
Hayato: There is… / another way!
6.
Hayato: Riddle! // Please…make me into an undertaker! // I want to send that evil spirit off and save Naoya! Please!!
Riddle: Ah… / You’re going to help him? If Naoya dies, the evil spirit might disappear. I thought we might leave him to die…
Hayato: Hey!
In panel: Listen to me!
7.
Riddle: I was joking. // You hated being an undertaker so much…it’s not bad to have you asking for it… // Very well. I promise that we’ll help Naoya-kun together.
Hayato: Thank you, Riddle…
8.
Noir: You’re going to oppose me…how foolish…
Hayato: You’re the foolish one…
Text 1: He’s been ordered not to hurt me.
Text 2: Then instead of worrying about attacking, I can concentrate on touching his chest and releasing his soul…
9.
Noir: You’ll get hurt if you waste your time! // You fools…
Hayato: ….. // You…
10.
Noir: It’s no good.
Hayato: Ah… // That was scary! // This is… / the first time I’ve seen a real gun! // Hey…you’re not supposed to hurt me, right?!
11.
Noir: Of course. / My master’s order is absolute. // You really are foolish, Hayato Sakura.
12.
Hayato: Damn…
Text: The bullet was a decoy…
Noir: This took more time than I thought. / Well…you’re in my hands now. // Come with me to my master.
Hayato: Even though I asked Riddle to make me an undertaker… // Naoya and I were caught // so easily…
13.
Text: As if I’m going to give up!
Noir: What…?
Hayato: Now the tables are turned! // Don’t underestimate my potential!
14.
Hayato: Naoya was trying his best because he wanted to become a doctor in the future! // Everyday, he studied like crazy for the entrance exams! // Even though you were only aiming at me…
Text: You even attacked my little brother who’d been trying to hard!
15.
Hayato: I’ll make you regret what you’ve done // to the point that you wish you were dead!

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…

Hayato: Leave me alone!
In panel: You’re the one who’s too tall!

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

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…?

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…?!

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…

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

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: 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 1: Undertaker Riddle
Text 2: I’m working as an undertaker again today.
Hayato: Uh... / Uhh... // Ah…this is the most tired I’ve been… // He doesn’t give a second thought to bringing me around every day and night! // [Jeez] I can’t stand it!
2.
Hayato: Uwaa…Riddle! How long have you been here?
Riddle: I wonder…I lost track of time while looking at your lovely face… // Your beauty is quite a sin…my beautiful rose…
Hayato: What are you doing? Stop… // Don’t touch me… // Owww!
3.
Riddle: [Ah] Just as I thought, you’re in pain…
Hayato: I told you not to touch me! // Whose fault is that anyway? / You make me work whatever time it is!
In panel: Thanks to that I haven’t had enough sleep and my muscles ache…
Riddle: Your soul won’t come back if you keep saying that. / You’ll have to entrust me with your body and soul.
Hayato: [Don’t say it in such a weird way!] I’ll die from overwork before that happens! Isn’t there a way to get it back soon?
Riddle: It’s up to my superiors… [I can’t do anything.]
Hayato: Bring your superiors here and I’ll complain to them.
Brad: I came at just the right time then…
4.
Hayato: Uh…
Brad: Oh? / Considering you’re just a human, you’ve got some nerve talking back to your master…
Hayato: Eh…? // Who is this guy…?

6.
Riddle: You haven’t met him before, have you? This is my superior, the secretary Brad. // He manages the undertakers and he’s been in charge of me for many years.
Hayato: Eh…a secretary? // I was sure someone stepped on me! That guy…
Riddle: Alright, Brad. Shake hands with Hayato-kun.
Brad: You smell like a human. [Don’t touch me.]
Hayato: Huh…?
7.
Hayato: What are you doing?!
Brad: I’m saying that humans are too familiar.
Hayato: Uwaa…he’s so annoying! // Riddle always does weird things! This guy stepped on me and beat me too! Are all the people over there no good?!
Brad: I wondered what kind of talent you had since he made a contract without any investigation… // You’re just an insolent, ordinary human… // I do not think someone like you should be an undertaker. / I’ll have the contract broken immediately.
Hayato: It’s not like I want to do this…
Riddle: Brad, I think that Hayato-kun is suited to this work… // You’ve only just met him, so it’s not for you to judge…
8.
Brad: Very well. I will test whether / he is suited to being an Undertaker.
Hayato: Huh?
Brad: It’s a strict examination that should have been carried out before the contract was made. // This time, I’ll be the one carrying out the examination in place of your master.
Riddle: That’s a good idea.
Hayato: Wait…I don’t want to take that….
Riddle: You won’t be an undertaker anymore if the contract is broken… / but have you forgotten that you’ll die at the same time that happens?
9.
Riddle: If you hate it so much, I’ll hold back my tears and break the contract…
In panel: Goodbye, Hayato-kun…
Hayato: I’ll take the test! Stop that!
Riddle: Ah, alright…
Brad: I’ll test you by observing you for the whole day. // Do you agree?
Hayato: Fine…I accept…
10.
Mom: Hayato! If you don’t get up soon, you’ll be late!
Hayato: Uh oh! It’s gotten this late already… // Well…I’m going!
Riddle: See you later!
In panel: Try your best!
Hayato: Ah…I’m seriously not gonna make it!
Riddle: Even though he’s alive… / so try not to bully Hayato-kun too much…
Brad: That depends on the time and situation…
11.
Hayato: Anyway… // He’s in such an obvious place… // Well, people who don’t have a supernatural sense probably can’t see him…
Text 1: This seems like it’ll be trouble…
Text 2: He didn’t even say exactly what he’s investigating, what should I do?
Text 3: I’m feeling so tired and this class is so boring…
Teacher: Sakura!
In panel: Hmm?
12.
Teacher: Jeez…you’re always sleeping in class!
Hayato: Oh no!
Brad: You’re so insincere that you can’t even obey the most basic rules. You lose 20 points.
Hayato: Uh oh… // I lose points for this?! // Exercise… / I’m good at it, so I’ll get those points back in gym class!
Boy: Sakura, catch!
13.
Hayato: My body hurts… // I can’t keep up…
Brad: Extremely bad at sports. Minus 20 points.
Hayato: What? / / Could this be…
In panel: Oww…
Brad: A careless miss. Minus 10 points.
Hayato: trouble?!
In panel: I knew it…I can’t stand this…
Brad: Has no remorse. Minus 30 points.
Hayato: If I’d been examined before I became an undertaker, then I could have been in a better mood to deal with it… // I’m seriously gonna die like this…
Hideki: Hey, Hayato…
14.
Hayato: Ah, Hideki…
Hideki: Are you okay? You haven’t been looking well lately…
Text: He’s worried about me, but I guess I won’t say anything…
Hayato: [Ahaha] A lot of stuff’s been happening… // A guy called Riddle…
Brad: Carelessly talking about undertakers to humans. / Minus 50 points.
15.
Hideki: Huh? The board suddenly cracked…
Hayato: Wait a minute…come here!
Brad: What is it?
Hayato: I didn’t really feel like talking about being an undertaker…why’d you take away points all of a sudden?!
Brad: Well…you can make as many excuses as you like. / Honestly, even Riddle will have trouble making a contract with someone like you…
Hayato: [Umm…] Could it be that you’re trying to make me quit? // Are you thinking of Riddle?
Brad: Why do you say that?
Hayato: Well, you seem to have known each other a long time, so it’d be normal to be concerned about a friend… [If that’s so, then I’ve misjudged you…]
16.
Brad: Friend…?
Hayato: I saw a demon for a moment…!
Brad: He’s just a business partner. // What he does normally has nothing to do with my work.
Text: Business…work…this guy seems kind of dull!
Hayato: [Ah!] Why don’t we talk about something other than work? / We’ve only just met, so we don’t really know each other.
17.
Hayato: The choux cream I brought as a snack! // We can share it! / Here’s half for you.
Brad: It smells like humans.
Hayato: Ahhh! // What are you doing? You glasses wearing demon!
In panel: My choux cream! You’ll pay for that!
Brad: You said we don’t know each other, / but I understand you perfectly well, Hayato Sakura!
18.
Brad: You’re just doing what Riddle says and you’re merely an imitation of an undertaker. // Having a talentless monkey around just gets in the way of his work. / / You’re not suitable to be an undertaker, just disappear.
Hayato: I’ve had enough…I’ll forget about being kind! I’ll do what I want! // I’m really angry!
Brad: Not bad…you’re pretty energetic, human. Show it to me then. / It’s about time for the final examination.
Hayato: Eh?
Brad: You’ll be sending off an evil spirit. / I’ve been informed that it often appears in this building.
Hayato: Eh…isn’t that a lot of trouble? // Ah…where’s Riddle?
Brad: Hmm…?
20.
Brad: You can’t do anything without Riddle?
Hayato: Huh…?
Brad: The final examination will cancel the minuses you received up until now. / At least struggle on your own before I bite you. // Well, it’s probably impossible for a monkey after all.
Hayato: What? You glasses wearing demon…where are you going? Wait… // This feeling…
21.
Hayato: An evil spirit…! / /A strong one… / I’m going to fight him… // Uwaa! // Watch out…what are you doing? // I’ve got to calm down!
22.
Hayato: If I can release some power like I did before, then the fight’s mine! // I’ve got the ring, so I should be able to do it! // Now! // Hmm?
Brad: You thought you could use your undertaker powers in human form? / What an idiot.
Hayato: As if I’d know that! You should have said that earlier!
23.
Text 1: Come to think of it, I only did those things while I was in undertaker form…
Text 2: But I don’t know how to become an undertaker without Riddle…
Text 3: This is really bad…I’ve got to run!
Text 4: Oh…why is there an open window here?
24.
Hayato: No way… // I’m falling… // AHHHH!

Hayato: I don’t know him, so he’s kind of suspicious… / He did save me from the hell I was going through with those ghosts though…
7.
Hayato: Umm…Riddle-san…I’d like to ask you a favour… / Could you help me if another ghost turns up? // I’ll do anything in return…
Riddle: You’ll do anything? Good…
--
Riddle: Well, how about this? // Would you help me?
Hayato: Help you…? // Eh…
--
Riddle: I want you to / make a contract with me and become an “Undertaker”.
Hayato: What…?
--
Riddle: A human soul with lingering attachments becomes a spirit. // Among those are evil spirits that eat other souls.
--
Riddle: A proper funeral service is necessary for powerful evil spirits… / However, I’m having trouble as I can’t manage alone…
8.
Hayato: But I’m a normal human! / I can’t make ghosts disappear just by clicking my fingers the way you do!
Riddle: Don’t worry, the contract means that you’ll receive half of my soul. // Using my power, you’ll have no problem working either.
--
Hayato: Exchanging / souls… // Uwaa…he’s started by talking about something I don’t understand with a smile on his face!
--
Hayato: I thought he was my saviour… // but he’s just a weirdo after all!
Riddle: How about it, Hayato-kun? I don’t think it’s a bad requirement.
--
Hayato: Eh…? I guess so…but… // Actually… // no thanks!
--
Hayato: Well…never mind that it was me who brought it up…I’m not interested anymore! // So, could you just forget we had this conversation? Sorry about that…
Riddle: Is that so? / Well, that can’t be helped.
9.
Riddle: However, I’m sure you’ll regret this. // I’m certain that there’ll come a time when you desire me.
--
Hayato: What…?
Riddle: Farewell until then.
Hayato: Hey…wait… // HEY!
10.
Hayato: Regret… / I guess it’s too bad, seeing as he saved me from those ghosts… // But relying on someone you don’t know is pathetic… / I’m sure it’s better this way.

Hayato: That’s…a ghost…

Hayato: She’s crying…?

Text: A human soul with lingering attachments becomes a spirit.
Hayato: Lingering attachments…I hadn’t thought of it like that. / I’ll leave before I get involved in something weird…
--
Hayato: I can’t… / Even if I do hate ghosts…I can’t just ignore a girl who’s crying! // Umm…do you have some kind of lingering--- I mean, is there something bothering you? / You could tell me about it…
--
Girl: Thank you!
Hayato: Ah!
Girl: You’re kind! / I was having trouble because I felt really hungry!
Hayato: Eh?! Wait a second…
11.
Text: Eh…?
--
Girl: So // Give me your soul.
Text: No way…
Box: Among those are evil spirits that eat other souls.
Hayato: She’s…an evil spirit!
12.
Girl: Amazing… / This is the first time I’ve seen such a tasty looking soul. // All the others were disgusting and didn’t fill me up. Thank you…
--
Hayato: Damn it…at this rate I’m going to die… // If I don’t do something…
--
Hayato: Uhhh…. // AHHHH!
--
Girl: You’ve got guts trying to run away in that condition… / Oh? Or could it be that you enjoy playing tag?
--
Girl: Hehe…Well, that does seem interesting… / I’ll play your last game with you. // You’ll probably die right away anyway…
13.
[SFX bubble] huff huff
Hayato: Ah… / Uh…

Hayato: Uh… // I’m really going to die…
--
[SFX bubble] huff huff
Hayato: This should have been my best birthday ever! / Why did this…
--
Riddle: My condolences. // Hayato-kun.
Hayato: You…Riddle!
--
Riddle: Didn’t your teacher tell you not to call adults by their first name? / You’re a rude young man, aren’t you?
Hayato: Who are you calling young man?!
Riddle: It seems that you’ve lost half of your soul. // And only an hour after that show of courage too…
Hayato: What…?
14.
Hayato: No…! / What’s going to happen to me? It can’t be that I’m going to die…
Riddle: It’s alright, you’ll be safe if you do as I say.
Hayato: Re… / Really?
--
Riddle: Become an Undertaker.
Hayato: Huh?!
--
Hayato: Were you listening to me?! I clearly turned you down earlier!
Riddle: Won’t you make a contract and exchange souls with me? / I’ll help you by compensating for your missing soul.
--
Riddle: In exchange for that, you’ll help me. // How does that sound? It’s a special service.
--
Hayato: No way…so that’s what your aim was… // You left earlier was because you knew this would happen…
Riddle: I thought you would be targeted by a spirit sooner or later. // That’s why I said you’d regret it. [small text: Honestly, you’re…]
Hayato: Don’t be so patronising! / Just as you expected, I’m really regretting this! Damn it!
--
Hayato: Uh… // Damn it…it hurts too much when I get angry… / I don’t have time to hesitate…
--
Hayato: I get it…if you can help me…. // Make the contract already…
Riddle: Make the contract // already…?
15.
Riddle: Please make the contract. // Isn’t that what you should say?
Hayato: ……
Riddle: Well, never mind. // If you die here, then all my waiting will have been a waste of time.
--
Hayato: Eh…?
Riddle: That’s because everything is destiny…
--
Riddle: Sakura Hayato // I acknowledge my contract with you.
16.
Text: A ring…?!
Riddle: Contractor // Become my shield, become my sword.
Hayato: Ah… // What is it? / I can hear words inside my mind…
--
Riddle: The pitiful lost child…
Text: Save their soul…
17.
Riddle: Oh my, how lovely. / Unexpectedly, that suits a young man like you.
Hayato: Don’t call me young man!
--
Hayato: Eh...? // What are these clothes?!
--
Riddle: That’s called a mourning dress, it’s like a uniform for undertakers.
Hayato: That’s why I’m wearing the same clothes as you!
--
Riddle: Your wounds healed, didn’t they?
Hayato: That did help, but…
--
Riddle: I’m glad you’re honest. / Well then, let’s hurry and find the evil spirit.
Hayato: Eh?
--
Riddle: You’ll help me properly, won’t you? / The half of your soul that was taken might return if we send off that evil spirit.
Hayato: It might return?! [small text: Really?!]
--
Hayato: Alright! We’ll go right away!
Girl: I’ve found you.
18.
Girl: You’ve got a loud voice, just like an idiot. // You can’t play tag like that.
Hayato: The knife girl from earlier appeared! / How dare you…
Riddle: Having competitive spirit is fine // But it’s got nothing to do with me if you get torn to shreds again…
--
Girl: Ah…that intelligent man is a friend of yours? / He looks really disgusting… // Tonight’s main dish has got to be you!
--
Girl: Hand over the rest of your soul!
Hayato: Ah!
--
Hayato: H-Hey! What on earth should I do…?
Riddle: You should weaken the evil spirit. // That ring contains the power to allow you to directly touch the soul inside a body.
--
Riddle: The source of an evil spirit’s power is the souls it has eaten. // If you touch its chest, where the power has accumulated, that should drive out the souls and weaken it.
--
Hayato: I have to…touch her chest?! // No way! Something that embarrassing is completely impossible!
--
Riddle: [small text: Oh?] You were imagining something embarrassing at an unusual time like this?
Hayato: No…it’s not like that!
19.
Hayato: Anyway…she’s got a weapon!
In panel: Hahaha…it’s impossible
Riddle: That doesn’t matter. // That’s because my soul is inside of you too… / It should be released enough for you to use it properly.
--
Riddle: Ah, excuse me.
Hayato: Use it?! Why did you only just mention that now?!
Riddle: You must be hearing things.
--
Riddle: Oh, and I won’t be able to move while preparing for the funeral / so I’ll leave the guarding to you.
Hayato: Eh?
--
Riddle: Well then, take care.
Hayato: Noooo!
Girl: What could they be… // talking about? // Kyaaa!
Hayato: Ahhh!
Riddle: Well then, I’ll begin.
20.
Hayato: Damn it…what does he think humans are? [small text: Oww]
--
Hayato: A-Anyway, all I’ve got to do is touch her… // Nothing to worry about…
Girl: Oww…
Hayato: I’m not a pervert! It’s just that this is inevitable…
--
Girl: Where are you trying to touch me?! You pervert!
Hayato: Ugh…
--
Hayato: Oww…! It’s not as if I like doing this!
[SFX bubble] cough
Hayato: This really is impossible!
--
Girl: You don’t seem to know the right way to treat a lady. // The only worthy part of a man like you is the soul. // Drop dead already!
Hayato: Ahhh!
--
Girl: You!
Hayato: Whoa!
--
Hayato: My body feels lighter than usual though. Is this the undertaker’s power? / In that case, if I keep avoiding her, I’ll have more chances to touch her…
21.
Girl: Tch…you just keep running around… / In that case… // How about this…?!
Hayato: Hey, you….where do you think you’re aiming at…?
--
Hayato: Damn it! / Riddle, get out of the way!
--
Hayato: He’s completely absorbed… // I see…that’s why he told me to protect him… // I’m glad she missed though…
22.
Hayato: Ugh… // What…?!
--
Girl: Hehehe… / What I did earlier was meant to distract you…
Hayato: Uh…
Girl: On top of being an idiot, you’re easily fooled. You’re hopeless. [small text: hehe]
--
Hayato: Damn it…she was aiming for me from the start… // I’m completely--- What should I---
Girl: Well…it’s finally time for the main dish!
--
Girl: Bon appetit!
Hayato: There’s no time for me to find her weakness…! // Ah…that’s enough! I can’t think of anything else!
23.
Hayato: Take that!
--
Girl: What…?
--
Girl: Kyaaa!
Hayato: Now’s my chance! // Uwaa! Excuse me! I’m sorry! I’m not looking! Ah…anyway…
--
Hayato: Forgive me! // Eh…?
--
Hayato: These…are all the souls she ate?! // That means she ate all these souls before me…!
24.
Hayato: What a cruel thing to do…
Girl: Uh…
--
Girl: That’s impossible! Setting free all the souls that I ate… // It can’t be…you’re…
Hayato: Never mind about that! // Do you understand what you did?!
--
Hayato: Eh? // EH?!
Riddle: Well done, Hayato-kun. / You did very well considering it was your first time.
--
Riddle: The preparations for your sending off are complete. // Miss Tomboy.
25.
Riddle: I’ll… // play the funeral march that’s right for you.
26.
Hayato: What…?
--
Girl: It can’t be…you’re… // undertakers…
--
Riddle: Oh? Now you’ve realised… // Well, now is the time for you to return to where you should be.
--
Girl: No! I don’t want to! // I’m going to stay here!
--
Riddle: Please be silent.
--
Girl: What…? // I can’t move…
Riddle: This way, sweet princess.
27.
Riddle: This is a castle just for you… // However, there will be neither magic nor a prince on a white horse to save you.
--
Riddle: You are a corpse / All you can become is an eternal sleeping beauty, resting in a coffin of wild roses.
--
Girl: S-Stop! No! // I’m sorry! // I don’t want to go yet!
--
Girl: Please! Let me go! / Please!
28.
Riddle: My condolences.
29.
Hayato: This is… // a funeral…
--
Riddle: Her soul was saved…
--
Text 1: I’m glad…
Text 2: Anyway, it’s over.
Text 3: She’s saved…
30.
Riddle: Ah… // As I thought, it’s a burden for a living body.
Hayato: My body feels heavy…you should be thankful…
Riddle: I am thankful. / For the first time in hundreds of years I’ve been able to organise a funeral service.
--
Riddle: [small text: Oh?] Those are the souls you saved earlier. / It looks like they’re trying to thank you.
Hayato: Thank me?! // Anyway, it’s not like I did it for you! I hate ghosts! Got it?!
Riddle: There’s no need to be embarrassed. It doesn’t change the fact you helped them. [small text: Just be glad.]
--
Riddle: See, the souls are flying upwards. // You don’t often see this many flying upwards at once. / Isn’t it beautiful, Hayato-kun?
Hayato: Wow…amazing…he’s right… // It’s strange…to think of ghosts as being beautiful…
Text: This is the first time…
31.
Mother: Hayato! You’re going to be late!
Hayato: Alright~
--
Hayato: Eh…? How come I’m here…? // I lost consciousness and someone kindly brought me back here…
--
Hayato: The day went by without me even getting to celebrate my birthday… // Even so…
Text 1: My body feels fine.
Text 2: I survived and I’m back to normal…
--
Hayato: Ah… // I don’t need this anymore. // If everything’s back to normal, then I don’t need the contract.
--
Hayato: Ah… // Oh…?
Riddle: That’s right…
--
Riddle: I forgot to mention something important…
Hayato: That voice is…
Riddle: Generally, breaking the contract // is also impossible in heaven, Hayato-kun.
32.
Hayato: Why?! / My soul came back, so there’s no need to share yours…
Riddle: Oh? Didn’t you see? // Your soul flew away too / With the others
Hayato: You said my soul would return if the evil spirit was defeated…you trickster!
Riddle: I said it might return. / It was only a possibility. [small text: How rude.]
--
Riddle: My superiors would be able to do something. // However, the only way to meet them is to make a name for yourself as an undertaker, so all you can do is try your best.
Hayato: No! I don’t want to! You’ll keep working me too hard! / I refuse!
Riddle: I see…
--
Riddle: In that case, I’ll officially break off the contract.
Hayato: Oh? I’m glad…that was surprisingly quick…
Riddle: The moment I break the contract, you’ll pass away. / However, if you absolutely insist on it, I’ll hold back my tears…
Hayato: AHHH!
--
Hayato: I understand! Don’t break the contract! // Please don’t be reckless…I’ll do anything!
33.
Riddle: Anything?
Hayato: Ah…no…that was just an example…a figure of speech… // Damn it…this can’t be…
--
Hayato: Did I just dig my own grave?!
Riddle: I’m sure we’ll be good partners.
Hayato: Nooooo! / Ahhh! // Ahh! // Ahh!
