p1: ======================================= Earlier, / you mentioned a fourth br— Sister! Hey, Sister! I can’t hold back no more. Let me fucking do you! EEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!
Ahhh! What’s with you?! Somebody—! Woooomananananananan! Hey, punk. No touchin’ the dancers! Hey, somebody hurry and throw this kid out!
What in the world? Some idiot jumped up on stage. / Look there. He’s the jock grappling with Julian D. I can’t stand country hicks who don’t know how to play. / Probably hasn’t even had his cherry popped. [sidebar]: The long-awaited volume 10 on sale this spring!!
p2: ======================================= Joanna, what is it? Sounds like things are getting damn noisy outside.
Yeah. / One of the idiots we get 2-3 times a month is raising hell. Does Julian have enough hands with him? / If not, I’d be willing to pitch in.
It’s fine, Levy. It’s not that serious. Now, if their pleasant little chat with Julian and the rest goes a little long… I’ll ask you then.
I’m sorry our shop is so noisy. / It’s always like this. My apologies, but I hope you grow accustomed to it, Miss… err… “Feng” is fine. / And don’t worry about it. I don’t mind the noise.
p3: ======================================= Hey, / I can’t believe you’re acting social. I figured everyone from the Planet of the Geeks lived and breathed awkwardness.
My profession—or rather, my former profession—required more skills than just using a computer. If all you can do is look glum while hiding your face behind a newspaper, well— // You’d never be fit for intelligence work.
Are you saying a spy’s gotta be amiable? Of course. And if things are falling into place, shouldn’t one do so? / I’m not unskilled at such things, though I can’t speak for that Indian woman.
The girl could get a gold medal in obliviousness. / Heck, a gun could be pointed at her head, and she’d make a fucking joke about whatever the gunman was most worried about, then start laughing her ass off.
That she ain’t dead yet should be one of the seven wonders of the world. Bye! I don’t think anyone would disagree with you on that. / So then—
p4: ======================================= Let’s get back to business. There is much we require if we’re going to save you from this situation, / but I’m still foggy on where to start.
I’ve talked to Revy about this, and there doesn’t seem much point in interrogating Jane. / Once the trap was finished, the situation got out of her control. Even if we repel your pursuers, more will come. In other words, / unless we either get them to abandon your trail or make it meaningless to them, you won’t be safe.
I’m completely cornered. Unfortunately, right now, you are. / So since the Jane path is a dead end, we’ll have to go down some other route.
I feel like the answer’s on the tip of my tongue… / but I can’t quite get it. However, there must be a clue.
Hold it, Rock. You’re putting yourself in a corner. “It’s hard to tell a poor thinker from a sleeping one.”
p5: ======================================= ? / What do you…
It’s not that complicated. When you can’t figure out what you should do, then you can always try being dumb. This “Bitok” woman, an accomplice in a white-collar crime, told me that like she was sayin’ a prayer at mass.
For instance… Well, / We could forget all we know, come at things again and try to uncover something— or we could simply pursue everything that’s happened during this case… You know, things like that.
Hmm. / Reviewing all our information’s not a bad idea. But, err… / …Where should I start?
There’s the trap that Jane set for you, and the circumstances that led you to fall into it head-first. I bet somewhere between those two things / is some fragment that’ll be your salvation.
p6: ======================================= …….OK, I’ve got it. / I feel like I’ll get so angry I’ll get a stroke just thinking about it, but let’s give it a try. That Indian cow ordered me / to use a certain company as a “stepping stone” to infiltrate a German avionics company and steal their data.
However…. / As you already know, all that was fake. That “certain company” / was a shell corporation belonging to my true employers.
They sent me in through a backdoor they had prepared, / then looked down on me while I rummaged through the place like an idiot, and— ---This is just a theory,
but I think their real objective was our shell corporation… and they robbed them, Arnenheim Distribution, of everything valuable.
p7: ======================================= You weren’t aware that that shell corporation had anything to do with you?
Are you serious? If it were the kind of open place where, / right after lunch,you’d go up to someone completely uninvolved and tell her everything—
then it would be better for the country / if we got out of the spy business and started making PC games, or something. I suppose so. / It’d be a waste of tax dollars.
---What happened next is kinda like if I snuck into a company / while they filmed the whole thing, made a business card saying that I was a thief and who I was working for, labeled the video “Most Hilarious Video Ever,” and sent it all to the company itself.
The Germans had already suspected the Liberation Army. Now they had them by the tail and were ecstatic, while my superiors got pissed, and, well, you know the rest.
p8: ======================================= How did Jane learn about the true affairs of Arnenheim Distribution?
What I suspect is that it was a request from Rheinbach. / He probably thought it was suspicious and had been keeping an eye on it.
[SFX bubble]: Puff!
How long has the Liberation Army been… / using Arnenheim in their work? I don’t know that much. Moreover, I don’t even know what section was using it, or to what end.
……Would you be able / to dive back in there?
p9: ======================================= Of course. / Give me a rig, and I’d love to start right now.
There are machines all over the place. / Benny’s equipment is on the boat, right?
There’s the place where Jane first trapped Feng: / the Nankhwai Net Café.
There are those kind of places around town, aren’t there? / Then that settles it. *Whistle*! (double eighth note) You called? Hey, it’s Revy! Long time no see. Come join in the show sometime.
Yeah, one of these days. / By the way, I’ve got a request. What? / A rare request? From Revy? Sounds fun.
p10: ======================================= Take that ugly-ass bitch in the glasses / and make her look like she belongs in this town. Wahhhhhh! Wait, wait, wait! SFX, top: Eeeeeek! <3 SFX, bottom: Glomp!
Now that’s a rare sight. / You don’t see many girls in this town in a Net café.
Hey, you. / Where’re you come from?
p11: ======================================= From the entrance.
Well? / Did you sprout out of the ground?
Hey, you. Want me to teach you how to / touch typ—
Tap / tap tap! ☆
Now that’s an odd face. / Where are you from, girl?
p12: ======================================= Ain’t you a cute one, and hot too. Where do you usually turn tricks?
Shame your chest is a little lacking… but I’m sure you’d give me a discount for that.
My apologies, / but she’s not on-duty today. She’s here for personal business.
…..If it ain’t the Lagoon Company. / You getting into the pimping business now? Pretty rough business, that.
p13: ======================================= If you want a woman, there’s plenty turning tricks on the street there, or else go to the Yellow Flag’s brothel. / Also— It’s the seller who puts the price on a rack, and don’t you forget it.
Shit. / Fine, fine, I get the picture.
Click. I’ll find my fun elsewhere, just holster your piece!
Tch. / Look away for one second, and this happens. For fuck’s sake…
What the hell are you looking at? This ain’t a peep show. Get your asses back in your seats and go watch some grandpa fuck a horse! SFX: Wahhhhh!
p14: ======================================= Well? Any results?
Arnenheim Distributions itself wasn’t deleted, thankfully. There are some observers, too… But I won’t make the same mistakes again. / A few tricks have brought me safely inside, for now.
Find all of the logs remaining on the server. Also— / There should be some clue hidden there.
While you were out at that street vender, I found something along those lines. / It’s emails processed by jiā mì ruǎn jiàn 975, which we often used.
It’s not a trap? The traps are done with. And it’s only natural the data’s still here. / That cow only wanted to gather proof that the avionics company was being hacked. She had no obligation to erase the data.
p15: ======================================= They were deleted, of course, but I can restore the data. How careless of her, to not fully erase most of them.
We need the files decrypted. / Can you do it?
As long as you’re sure of what they used to encrypt the files, decryption’s simple enough. I’m downloading the files now— / done.
Can we take them with? / Print them, or something? Print them? It would take a full day.
You fucking serious? / This is why I hate computers. No worries. It’ll be faster to burn it to CD. / There’s not that much raw data.
p16: ======================================= [sidebar]: In order to work on the new volume, we’ll be taking a short break.
This is our only clue right now— but it’s a good one.
All we need to check the data is a single laptop. Online?
Stare…! No, there’s not need to hook up to the web.
On our way back, let’s stop in at the Mapurao market. / We should be able to find one on sale there. Beep.

Connect me to Yang-Shàngwèi . I’ve found someone who seems to be the target—Yes, I’m certain. https://mangahelpers.com/t/dowolf/releases/39079[English] [Translation] Black Lagoon 86 by Dowolf2013-11-28T18:35:10+00:00Dowolfadmin@mangahelpers.comBlack Lagoon 86

p1: ============================================== Panel 1: He was on a cruise headin’ for Marta / when he fell into the sea, I’m told.
Panel 2: And since his lover was tryin’ to snatch his assets, it took a while for the news to get to us…. I don’t give a rat’s ass about that. / Where’d that come in from?
Panel 3: From London. / Scotland Yard. Mister Ronald! / Please, let me speak.
Panel 4: Scotland Yard, you say? / You’ve gotta be shitting me. Please, forgive me. / I admit it, I messed up with the deed of title.
Panel 5: But I don’t touch that stuff anymore, and I’d never call in the fuzz. I understand your offer, so—
p2: ============================================== Panel 2: Now that’s strange. Why’s a fish reef talking? / Sammy, the only reason I talked to you about the deed was because you weren’t yet a fish reef. But I’ve got no business with a sea ornament. Get your ass sunk already and be a guide for the sea bream and flounders.
Panel 3: Understand?
Panel 4: Now where were we before he butted in? …Right, Zamid, yeah, that damn Zamid! / The shit of all shitheads had to go and die!
Panel 5: I want to go down to where he’s shoveling coal in hell and properly kill his ass again. So then, / what about the Albanians’ cash?
Panel 6: Yeah, ……that’s, / well……
p3: ============================================== Panel 1: Hey, Camillo, give me a break. / All I wanna know is, where’s the cash? I ain’t asking you about the weather or the stocks; I’m asking where the money is, Camillo.
Panel 2: Did you come all this way because you want to be a second fish reef? / Where’s the money? Huh? ……….
Panel 3: I don’t know. Sorry, boss. / His mistress got pinched before she could get her hands on the assets. That stupid, dull-witted bitch is useless. / She’s sure to have folded by now. The question is, has Scotland Yard caught wind of the account?
Panel 4: No worries there, boss. / I didn’t hear anything about the account in what leaked. And besides, Zamid was discreet. / I’m sure he made sure to move it to some safe place where no one could touch it.
Panel 5: I guarantee it, boss. So— ……Camillo.
p4: ============================================== Panel 1: That doesn’t solve anything.
Panel 2 If he hid it somewhere safe, where only he could touch it— Then who the hell / can dig it up?
Panel 3: …..W— / Well, that’s…. Camillo, I have an important question. / Did Zamid finish liquidating the goods?
Panel 4: We’ve managed to infiltrate Bullion Bank, / along with the mining company he loved, O’Neal & Jenkin’s Minerals. Once he got back from his vacation,
Panel 5: maybe he thought he’d transfer the laundered cash from the bank / to a shell corporation in or around Panama, or something like that. ………………. / Who’s the alternate on the account?
p5: ============================================== Panel 1: I thought of that, too. But it’s no good. / He doesn’t have the right of custody over the account.
Panel 2: <SFX Bubble>: Whoosh!
Panel 3: Hey, this is a joke, right, Ronald?! [bottom]: Stop this! Please, let me go! [middle]: …… / It couldn’t be the Russians, and we can’t just sit back and try to recover. ---Which means……
Ronnie! Please! Help me! / I’m begging you, help me! I’m thinkin’ here; don’t interrupt. / Hey, Nico, hurry up and sink him!
p6: ============================================== Panel 1: The Albanians hate missed deadlines, / and Don Monteverti’s on his nerves about this case, too. We’ll need to find some guy who’s good at fiddling with the books. / Leave nothing on the table, Camillo.
Panel 3: Shit. / Cymbals are still ringing in my head.
Panel 4: I need a hair of the dog.
p7: ============================================== Panel 1: Do you want to check the shops? No place around here sells espressos, or shit like that. / Maybe we’d have better luck if we went to the mall in Mapurao.
Panel 3: -------…. Hey, Rock.
Panel 4: Did you settle things / with that woman?
Panel 5: ……..Yeah. For now, / I’ll go along.
p8: ============================================== Panel 1: ----I see. / ……Then that means… you’ve got a bit of weight off your shoulders.
Panel 3: Guess you’re looking out for me. Thanks, Revy.
Panel 5: -----Hmph. I figured, if it’d make for some amusement, / then there’s no need to hold back… That’s all.
p9: ============================================== Panel 1: I guess so. / But I don’t feel like getting in too deep. What’s with you now? / You’re gettin' all girly on me, Rock, like a jellyfish on the beach.
Panel 2: The past is the past. The future is the future. / So get behind your own decision— and do this like you want to.
Panel 3: ---….That girl / told me the same thing. ------But even so…
Panel 4: To think you’d hit it off with someone you just had a shootout with. You’re acting weird, yourself. Now whatever brought that on?
Panel 5: Before you showed up at my doorstep unconscious, / did something happen between you two? Not really. / It was nothing much.
p10: ============================================== Panel 1: I just figured I’d do something about things I was indecisive about, and we happened to match up. That’s all.
Panel 2: ? / What do you— That shit doesn’t matter. / Let’s get started. Where do we begin?
Panel 3: We can’t. / I haven’t figured things out yet. What I do know is that Jane’s trap was truly meticulous; / it was a literal deathtrap to Feng.
Panel 4: Can you get that harlot… / to confess?
Panel 5: I can think of more than a few ways.
p11: ============================================== Panel 1: What’s wrong? / Did you catch a cold, Jane?
Panel 2: Ah, Sweetpie, someone’s walking on top of my grave! / I felt an inexplicable shiver run down my back!
Panel 3: It was scary, darling! / It was scary, so hold me tight! For goodness’ sake.
Panel 4: I’ll overrule you on Jane. / I don’t want to get violent with a female colleague. Besides, even if we continued to pursue her, we’ve run out of what we need to succeed. / In the fashion of this town, Jane’s completely won.
p12: ============================================== Panel 1: There’s another source of trouble: Those assassins who turned our car into scrap iron.
Panel 2: I haven’t seen their mugs around here before, but they didn’t hesitate. That proves they’re experienced. They’ll come after us again, sooner or later.
Panel 3: It won’t be hard to send them to hell, but if we don’t cut them off at the source, more of them’ll just come after us. / They’re endless, just like cockroaches.
Panel 4: I know. All this is just buying time to cut them off at the source. / Can we buy that time at that hideout?
Panel 5: Yeah. / There’s no such thing as perfect in this world, / but it’s the most trustworthy place I know.
p13: ============================================== Panel 1: At the very least, compared to the people in charge of that motel, / they’re hell of a lot more tight-lipped, and they personally owe me a favor.
Panel 2: Once we finish our shore business, / let’s show our faces again before the sun sets.
Panel 3: Pacson! / Hey, Pacson, are you listening?!
Panel 4: Leave him be! There’s nothing you can do with the man once he’s like that. / Let’s get back to business.
p14: ============================================== Panel 1: OK, / I’ve gotten a report back on the guys you exchanged bullets with. It was likely the gunman from the crew of the Lagoon Company. / However, rather than them supporting the target,
Panel 2: it seems more likely that they simply got caught up in the firefight. / They probably just happened to be there.
Panel 3: It was a coincidence, then? / You mean I won’t see her anymore? That sucks. And here I’d finally found myself a nice woman.
Panel 4: Oh, Rob, were you going to fall into even deeper sin? How many years do you think you spent locked up in that Arizonan prison?
Panel 5: Bro, that was just back luck. / I just wanted to give her a friendly fuck, but she started making such a fuss… You did her after blowing her head off, Rob. / That’s the wrong order.
p15: ============================================== Panel 1: I wasn’t planning on shooting her, Bro. / And then I was going to just run away, but… Little Robby just wouldn’t calm down.
Panel 2: At that point, it’d be a waste if I didn’t do her. / And I mean, the girl survived, right? Ahh, / enough.
Panel 3: I didn’t come here / to listen to you guys talk about that! Yo, / I’m with you there, Chinese.
Panel 4: However, / if they team back up and come at us again, it’ll be a big problem for us. What will you do about that, Chinese?
Panel 5: -------…….. That’s an unknown. / I can’t say anything at this stage.
Panel 6: If they do clearly start defending the target, there’d be a conflict with the details of the request. And that would impact our compensation.
p16: ============================================== Panel 1: We will pay you in accordance with what happens. / You simply need to have Former Sergeant Major Li be quickly rendered ineffectual.
Panel 2: Yo. / Things just got more difficult, Chinese. If you want all this to count as just one job, then go hire some other cleaners. / I don’t like the taste of this.
Panel 3: We can’t delay things. This doesn’t sit well with me, either… / I’ll talk to my superiors about your compensation. I’m glad you’re so understanding. / Even if you don’t believe in God, I’m sure you’ll go to Communist heaven.
Panel 4: Keep your conversation secret, Chinese. This town’s the valley of the shadow of death. It isn’t the kind of place you walk around leisurely.
Panel 5: I don’t have many pieces, but they’re tracking down every lead we have. / I’ll let you know as soon as we have the target’s location. ----By the way…

p1: ======================================= Panel 1: They fucked you and threw you away?
Panel 2: It’s not a hard development to understand. Just like you might throw away a balance sheet with errors on it,
Panel 4: you were thrown into the garbage by your company and your superiors.
Panel 5: However, / you survived. And you’re still here. / You haven’t thought of going home?
p2: ======================================= Panel 1: When I learned my own value, I figured one more thing out, too. / The value I had given to the place where I was— was just an illusion I had deluded myself into believing.
Panel 2: The value I had given it… / was nothing more than the value I wanted it to have. Once I figured that out, / I couldn’t go back anymore.
Panel 3: You’re not using the right words. / There must’ve been a way back, right?
Panel 4: Allow me to correct myself. It wasn’t that I couldn’t head back, / it was that I didn’t want to.
p3: ======================================= Panel 1: You took all of the myriad things from your homeland… / and threw them in the trash as an effigy. Was your homeland cold to you, or were you cold to your homeland? / There’s no way I could know.
Panel 2: But all I’m saying is that, if you chose to do so, / you could have gone from there to the place where you began.
Panel 3: -----……..
Panel 4: There’s a lot you and I have in common. Until the curtain opened on our trash lives, / we were so similar I could laugh.
p4: ======================================= Panel 1: Was that when you were tricked?
Panel 2: It was even earlier. / Your homeland’s Japan, right—Tokyo?
Panel 3: Yeah. Well, I’m from China’s sticks. / We were horribly deep in the mountains, the kind of place where people claim they see yetis.
Panel 4: Seen any yourself?
Panel 5: Of course not, stupid. Well… even in the mountains, we had a good-for-nothing system of authority.
Panel 6: Thanks to my grandfather serving in the Eighth Route during the Civil War, / we were the kings of that tiny bit of power. I had three older brothers; the eldest was the second secretary of the residential committee. / It was almost too high a position for someone in the mountains.
p5: ======================================= Panel 1: Were any expectations---- / placed on you?
Panel 2: What do you think?
Panel 3: No. / If there were, you would have walked the path you wanted.
Panel 4: Exactly. / My parents understood it well, but not nearly as well as I did. / Though I think they wanted me to marry some rich man from Chongqing.
Panel 5: That’s why I wound up getting shipped off like a troublemaker to the Liberation Army’s electrical college. / And then… I wandered, unable to see my path, / and started suffering these stupid troubles here, at the end of the earth.
p6: ======================================= Panel 1: Hey, / if you…
Panel 2: If you know you’d wind up here, / would you have chosen a different path?
Panel 3: Or…
p7: ======================================= Panel 2: ------….What a shock. / I just figured it out.
Panel 3: Yes. Regardless, I probably— / would still have come here.
p8: ======================================= Panel 1: ----Even if you knew / this would happen to you?
Panel 2: ---Let me turn that question around. SFX: Gulp Gulp
Panel 3: What am I, here and now? Who the hell am I?
Panel 4: A Chinese woman? / Bùshì. What of a job? / Bùshì. What of the life and relationships I’ve accumulated until now? / Bùshì. My past, my homeland, my country, my rights— / they’ve all been cleanly stolen from me, just as they were from you.
p13: ======================================= Panel 1: Yeah. / I guess it does.
Panel 3: By the way, / sorry to change the subject. Hm?
Panel 4: Hasn’t it been long? Her shower, I mean.
p14: ======================================= Panel 2: She got dizzy and fainted! / Give me something for her to wear! Whaaaaaaaat?!
Panel 3: So that damn Zamid Dhiyab / kicked the bucket?

p1: Top: Is the women’s battle about to begin…?!
Hey, / I know you’ve only put back one beer so far, / but did you call me out here just to have someone to glare at while you drink?
Did I say I was buying you your drinks?
I’ve got no money. / No credit cards either, and they don’t take travelers’ checks here.
Maybe you should head upstairs, / entertain a few customers?
You’re kidding. / Is that / how you figured you’d get your revenge on me?
I know what you said before, / but maybe you oughta use that big old thing dangling by your side. / That’d make things quick. Even wrap ‘em up with a bang.
p2: There’s easier ways than that. / Get out of the shadows and take a walk out in the open. / The weather’s great; it’s the perfect day for a stroll. / And then they’d all find you.
There’d be three percussion blasts, / and the angels with their trumpets would take care of the rest. / How’s that sound?
……… / If I’m going to die in this fucked-up city, / I wouldn’t mind dying in a fucked-up way. Like, say— / by being shot by you.
But you know, / getting taken out by those bastards who abandoned me? / I’ll pass, thanks.. #84: The Wired Red Wild Card Pt. 8
p3: Hmm. / You care that much about how you die? / It doesn’t seem that different to me.
You think they’re the same? / Not a chance. / That a part— / of how I live.
……Enough smalltalk. / I came here— / because I figured that, if I could get you on board, our own problems would get solved.
I’m not quite sure what you mean. / Is this your problem? / Or is it— / your Company’s problem?
p4: …..Well, / I wonder. Enough talking in riddles. / If you’re going to join up with me, then share your info.
----You getting mixed up in this / might’ve changed something decisively. / If sometime up ahead they stumble upon us, / now’s the only chance we’ll have to regret it.
…………You should just take a breath, / look straight ahead, and run.
? / What are you talking about?
p5: I only respected one of the old greybeards back home. It’s something I heard from him. / Once you’ve made up your mind, it’s important to not look around; instead, just run. If you do— / he said, then people are made / to get to the place where they’re going.
Well, of course. / Whatever you do, you’ll always get to one place eventually, / no matter where you go, / right?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to point out to me— / but you’re right. / There’s someplace we all get to eventually: / you, me, everyone.
p6: ---Lemme ask you one thing: / Why do you have your eye on him?
Are you being serious? I am. / If I don’t like your answer, things might go differently.
Well, if I had to say, / out of the few people I’ve met in this town…. / he hasn’t forgotten the ways of the outside world, / he hasn’t stripped himself of any remaining vestiges of mercy,
and yet he still understands the rules of this city. / That’s who he is. / That good enough for you?
……Your evaluation of him’s pretty much spot-on. / Being able to appraise things well’s the secret to surviving. Maybe so. /Then did I pass your test?
p7: ----Yeah, / you passed.
So let me ask you again— / why did you come to me?
………. / The same reason you came to him, asking for help. / You smell like an outsider—just like Rock does.
p8: Hey, what’s this? / What’s going on?
I get that you must have a million questions. / I’ve got a million things to tell you, too. But….. / For now, just let us in. / I don’t have time to explain. If we don’t do something quick, she’s… / gonna burst…
Ugh!
p9: SFX: (puking sounds) Waahhhhhh! She did! Get a bucket! A bucket!
So, / how much did she have to drink?
You want to know? / She started with cans of bear. She had, umm…. Five.
Next, she had the one the Treasure Island pirates had. That was… / Bacardi. / That’s right. She had…
p10: four of those. / She then finished off a bottle of Old Overholt, at which point she collapsed.
I couldn’t believe it. / If her stomach wasn’t made of steel, she’d be dead.
I have no idea how you can be so calm about it. The only things I’m strong against are fate and beer. So… / when I asked who there was who could take care of drunk little Revy, I got sent here.
…..Thank you for that. / All the more so since, last night, / you were pulling the trigger at each other.
However, / you should have left this city / before bringing her here.
p11: If only leaving this city would cause the game to end, / right? / But sadly, that’s not the way the rules work.
And besides—… / Strangely enough, it turns out our interests coincide. …….? / What do you mean?
Thanks, but I don’t smoke. / ……..Well, / before I explain, there’s something I have to tell you first.
She told me / why you’re so cold.
p12: She told me all about / the strife you guys got caught up in.
Of a female servant and her young master,
of justice and good and pride—
and all the rest, and the apocalypse that consumed them all.
Dammit… Argh! Which way’s down?! / Rock! / Ugh. / I’m… gonna use your shower!
p13: …-- / ….That / has nothing to do with you.
If it was a reason you turned me down, / then that’s enough reason for it to matter to me. / All the more so, seeing as how my issue / is a matter of life and death.
If you won’t talk about it, / then I can never begin / my own battle.
p14: How did that old Western counting song go? / Eeny, meeny, miny, moe!
It looks like you’re really not sure / whether or not you should talk.
……I might not look like a farsighted person. Of course not. / Do you want to be?
I do. / It’s not good to get tied up in stuff that’s none of your business. ….Do you have any beer? / If you don’t, I’ll get some water.
p15: ---There’s some Singhas and San Miguels in there. / But still, / do you really want to keep drinking?
What are you saying? / I’m grabbing some for us both. / This isn’t the sort of conversation you can have sober.
Snatch!
…--So then, where should you begin? / ----Well, / the night is long. Maybe we should start with a little gossip?
p16: When I first saw you, / I thought, you’re used to this town, / but you’re different.
Normally, someone like you / would never come to this city. / So how’d you wind up here?
-------…A long time ago, / there was a stupid office worker who didn’t know how much he was worth….
He was ordered by his superiors to tie up all the loose ends, and he thought that he could. / That’s how it all began. (bottom): Next chapter planned for the October issue.

p1: Feng: If you have a better plan, / I’m all ears.
Revy: Rock, / it’s like she says. A girl’s got the right to choose her grave. / There’s no point getting involved. / You can talk and walk with her all you want, but she’s as good as dead.
Feng: That’s right. / My superiors… or rather, my former superiors said the same thing.
p2: Feng: “We’ll take care of things after you die,” they said. / “So try to go out in a blaze of glory.”
Revy: …Rock, / just give up. / She’s saying the same things that brat said.
Rock: --……I know. / ---I know, dammit!
p3: Rock: Miss Feng,
Rock: You can find a reasonably safe place to hide at the Salon de Licorne on Sartanam Street. / Don’t trust them too much, though. / If you need weapons, head to Club Scelorum. They’ll sell you some, even without an introduction. / And if it’s information you need, visit Ritchie Leroy’s place in Nong Khai’s open-air market.
Rock: If you show him this, / you should be able to force your way in.
Feng: …Thank you. / But why? / I thought you didn’t want to get involved.
p4: Rock: It has nothing to do with you. / I have my own reasons. / That’s all.
Feng: Really? / Then I, too—
p5: Rock: Wha?!
Feng: Maybe that / will be your “reason”?
Rock: D— / D—d—d— / Don’t tease me! / I—I—I won’t be swayed by something like that!
p6: Feng: I wasn’t trying to tease you. / Right now, this is the only way I have to thank you. And besides— / when I thought of you coming back to me with that pained look on your face, / I desperately wanted to start entrusting you with the sacrament of life.
Feng: I didn’t think anyone in this town could look like that. / I guess you’re probably—
Feng: A good man.
Rock: —I’m not a good man. / Even kids hate me.
Feng: ? / …Kids? Rock: …No, never mind that. / Anyways, from here on out—
p7: Rock: our paths won’t cross again. / It’s better for both of us that way. / I’ll be praying you live a long and good life.
Rock: If you somehow manage to find a way through this and ever make it to your utopia, / be sure to send me a postcard.
p8: Levy: I hope you don’t plan on siding with her / just because of a single kiss.
Rock: What?! / I—I—I—I—I Levy: Calm your tits. / What are you, some kid in junior high? It’s nothing to start fussin’ over.
Rock: … / I don’t intend to side with her.
Rock: Sticking my head into things and getting everyone to hate me / doesn’t sound like much fun.
p9: Rock: I’m no saint. / A sense of duty, a sense of righteousness— / they’re just nuisances in life. / Maybe I’m finally starting to come around to Benny’s way of thinking.
Levy: ……… / That has nothing to do with it. You……
Rock: ?
p10: Levy: I wonder who you are. / Rock, the villain of this town? / Or Rokurou Okajima, the Japanese?
General: She got away?
p11: General: Was your first mistake not enough for you? / Did you want to pile more errors on top of it, Ma- Shàng Xiào*?! (*: Colonel Ma)
Ma: If the on-site bureaucrats in charge were to act directly, / when this goes public our difficulties would increase dramatically. As such—
General: Enough excuses! / I asked you to work quickly. This problem concerns the whole of the People’s Liberation Army!
General: We have finished dealing with everyone within the department who was involved. / The only one left is your former subordinate.
General: And hell, / if you were going to hire assassins, could you have at least picked half-decent ones?! Ma: We had very little time to assemble our unlawful mercenary force, Zhōng Jiàng*. / Umm… And the First Division was never really a HUMINT division, so…… (*: Major General)
p12: General: 14 Chang’an Avenue / is insisting on coming here and fishing for internal memos. / It’s only a matter of time until everything comes to light. / I repeat. You will properly dispose of the estranged soldier within the next three days.
General: If the situation does not improve within that time, / a team of specialists will be dispatched to the region and dispose of her themselves. / But that is a last resort. If it comes to that… / I can’t promise to keep you out of the line of fire. And I’m not just speaking metaphorically… they’ll be firing real bullets.
p13: SFX in last panel: Bang Bang (knocking loudly)
p14: Revy: If you go out, / shoot instantly.
Feng: ……..
Feng: Is this for me touching your man?
p15: Revy: You think I’m going to grab your hair and tussle with you on all fours? / Don’t make me laugh. / If I were here for that, the walls would already be painted with your blood and brains. / Anyways, put the gun away.
Feng: …… / Allow me to ask again.
Feng: Why are you here?
Revy: We need to talk for a bit. / Elsewhere.
p16: Hey. / Hey, Bao! Sidebar: Next time, will the Yellowflag become these two women’s battlefield?!
Why do those two look so strained? / And isn’t that the airhead Two-Hands? Don’t know, don’t care. / But I’d advise you all not to stare.

p2: Revy: Rock!
Revy: Drive!
p3: Rob: Hey, bro! / They’re getting away!
Montero: It’s not like you, Rob, / to miss the first shot!
Revy: Rock! / She’s not worth grabbing! Just leave her behind! Feng: Quit it! Stop! / Don’t leave me!
Brother: That tattooed woman’s got skill, bro. / I love this shit!
p4: Montero: Pacson! / I need suppressive fire so they can’t draw a bead on us. / Can you do it?
Pacson: I can handle it, Bro!
p5: Revy: It’s a machine gun!
Revy: They’re your fucking guests! / You deal with them, glasses face! Feng: I would if I could, dammit!
p6: Brothers: Shit! / This hummer can’t squeeze through there.
p7: Pacson: Ah, dammit! / They got away, bro!
Brothers: You can’t put pressure on them for shit, Pacson! / Shut up! You missed your own shot, Brother! / Hey, hey. / We’re brothers. Let’s not fight. / You screwed up too, Brother Montero!
Rob: Hey, Bro? / Didn’t we have God’s blessing?! Montero: Oh, Rob, this is one of those times. / It’s because when you go to church, you sometimes swipe a few coins off the collection plate.
Revy: Dammit, this thing’s got more holes in it than windows. How the hell is it even running? / If this hunk of scrap metal decides to die out here, we have a fucking long walk waiting for us. Rock: I know that, Revy. / We’ve made it this far. Let’s catch our breaths and see how bad it is.
p8: Rock: Looks like a goner. / I’m glad I kept the engine running. I don’t know if it would’ve turned back on.
Revy: Ahh, shit! / This car’s vintage!
Revy: And I’ve managed to keep it safe ever since the maid trashed the Roadrunner, too. / What the hell am I supposed to tell Benny? / Do I put up a note at the garage sayin’ “R.I.P.” and send him a bouquet of flowers?
Rock: I’ll smooth things over. But there’s nothing to be done. Revy: Shoo, shoo! This ain’t your car, you fuckin’ bitch. / Hey! Four-eyes!
Feng: …the hell? / Are you blaming me?
Revy: Is there someone else responsible? / If there is, please tell me.
p9: Revy: You point a gun in my face without even sayin’ hello, / and then a bunch of guys show up in a Hummer and start shooting at us. / What’s next, a dancer in drag with a nuke?
Feng: …I just wanted to talk. / You’re the one who suddenly started shooting.
Revy: The only people who point guns at someone they wanna talk to are thieves and muggers. / You’ve only yourself to blame if someone puts a bullet in you. Feng: …Look, I’m sorry! But… / You guys are the only connection I have with her.
Rock: Her?
Revy: Ah, / yeah, / so that’s how it is.
Revy: All your idiocy, clear in one burst. / Hey, glasses face. / That cow tricked you good. / She nailed you, head to toe.
Revy: Hmm. / Well, if you’ve reflected, then class time’s over. / Now I’m gonna be nice and give you a warning.
Revy: This city ain’t the place for some backwater Chinky to wander about in. / Hurry up and get the fuck out of this city / before someone decides to plaster another sign on you sayin’ “Please, kick my ass!”
Feng: <Chinese> / <Chinese>
Revy: Talk English, Chinky. / I’m an American. I only speak Eastern American English; I understand jack shit of Cantonese.
Lock: She said, “That’s a cruel thing to say to someone who has the same Chinese blood as you.” Revy: You fucking joking? / Go back far enough, / and everyone on this planet is as much related to me as Lucy and Linus.
p11: Rock: Feng, / if you intend to seek vengeance against her, / we won’t help you.
Feng: You must help me. / I have nothing else left.
Revy: ….. / If you wanna go that route, there’s a lot of shit you’ve got to fight your way past.
Revy: It ain’t what I’d call wise.
Revy: And besides, / you’ve got one more thing to worry about: those guys in the Hummer have nothing to do with Miss Bhai. / I figure those punks were hired by your real boss. / Is this really the time to be making more enemies?
p12: Feng: You’re talking like you know me. / Why? Revy: You’re the only one out of the loop, retard. / That geek had seen through your whole plan before she even brought you here.
Revy: I don’t know what ingredients or recipe she used, but she figured you out. / She even showed us a picture of you as proof.
Feng: Wh—what? / A p-p-picture? Revy: Tell her, Rock.
Rock: Uhh, / you had makeup like an actor from a Chinese opera, and you were wearing a poorly-fitting military uniform… Feng: THE FUCK?!
p13: Feng: Why the fuck does that bitch have that photo?! / I’ll kill her! I’ll kill her! I’ll kill her! Revy: Ah, that’d be nice. / It’d be nice if you killed her good.
Revy: But you can’t do it alone. / And there’s no one who’d stick his head into something like this, / not when there’s nothing in it for them.
Feng: Hey, wait! / If you want cash, I’ve got— Revy: It ain’t a matter of how much. / The System’s chasing you now. A hell of a lot of trouble’s gonna follow you wherever you go.
Rock: Miss Feng, / that situation is no different. We cannot lend you aid. / For us to assist an acquaintance such as yourself would place on us too heavy a burden.
p14: Rock: You have only one choice left for you in the world: / Run. Run a mile away / from everyone in this city trying to take your life.
Feng: …… / That’s right. / Yeah, / I get it.
Feng: Out here at the end of the world, / the only person I can rely on in Heaven or on earth is myself.
Feng: I don’t intend for you to now understand my reasoning or see any profit in it. / Even so, / I will survive.
p15: Feng: Even if it is my fate to die in vain, / I won’t go quietly. I’ll keep kicking and screaming until my last moments. Feng: That / is how I want my life to end.
p16: Revy: If you’ve got guts like that, it’ll at least take a while before I see your body floating at the mouth of the river. / You sound like a gambler trying to get herself pumped. Now take that attitude and run, glasses face.
Rock: … Feng, / do you----
Rock: Intend to fight within the city?
Feng: My organization won’t give up no matter how far I run. / So... / Instead of falling in some back alley in Bangkok, / I’d rather actually be able to defend myself in this lawless city.
Rock: You’re underestimating this city. This place is— Feng: It doesn’t matter. Right now, I have to play with the farmer’s hand I’ve been dealt. / I’ve sat down at this table, and the only path left to me is to win.

p1: Rock: But even so, / I’m surprised she didn’t charter a sexier ship.
Rock: I mean, she should be able to rent a cruiser complete with a Jacuzzi, right? / So what’s so much fun about our torpedo boat? Revy: Hell if I know.
Revy: But if she wants it and she’s got the cash, it’s none of my business. / There’s plenty of people out there who just wanna put a billion bucks in our pan. / It’s none of our business why.
Revy: Well, I suppose there’s that. / She probably wants some alone time with Benny.
p2: Feng: <Chinese>
Feng: You're regulars at this shop, / right? / I thought I’d find you here if I waited long enough.
Feng: I don’t want things to turn violent. / Now—

Rock: The shell casings are—yip! / Hot hot hot hot!

Brothers: What’s going on?
Pacson: Looks like a firefight. / I can’t say I mind the sight of this.
Montero: You gotta think things through a little more calmly, Pacson. Pacson: Tch. / You ain’t a clergyman, Brother.
Pacson: So enough of sounding like a priest during confession! / Ah. / Hey, hey.
p5: Pacson: Bro, / isn’t that girl there / our target?
Montero: One must never cease / in his worship of the Lord.

Benny: Fine, but... Benny: what about setting sail? Revy: That woman of yours reserved it, right? Revy: You're enough of a sailor.
Benny: Yeah, I'll be on the ship, but I'm supposed to be off-duty. Revy: Hey, don't make me laugh, Benny. Revy: If you're just going to be playing chess on your computer, you don't need any extra help.
05
Benny: I wish you didn't hate Jane so much, Revy. Benny: It's true she can be a bit rude, but if you didn't focus on that alone, you'd see she isn't that bad a person.
Revy: Benny, Revy: I don't care if you want to speak fondly of her and she's done a hell of a job... Revy: but she's a hardcore fuck freak.
Benny: Don't speak so badly of her. Benny: She may be a bit broad-minded as far as sex goes, but that's it. Revy: If that's "a bit", then Death Valley is just a sand pit in a park. Revy: I don't want to know any more about your all-night, never-ending fucking.
Jane: Okay, fine. Jane: The profits this time were good, so I'd been thinking of hiring a purser. Revy: Oh, you're quite the comedian. Revy: Who the hell would take your charity, you four-eyed monkey?
Jane: Hmm. Jane: Then... Jane: I'll splurge even further and hire that Japanese boyfriend of yours, too.
06
Revy: Hey, Revy: don't get carried away.
Revy: If you really just can't help yourself, I'll be your partner. Revy: In prison... Revy: I've won over some sex-starved dykes by playing the man's role. And... Revy: after that, their fingers just weren't enough for them ever again.
Revy: Believe me. I know what to do much better than you. Revy: Okay? Revy: If you really do this... Revy: you'll never go back to Benny.

Benny: Hey, Benny: are you okay?
Montero: Hey, Montero: are you okay?
Paxon: It's because I haven't had alcohol in a while. Paxon: Ugh. Paxon: I'm drunk in a bad way. Montero: Then get... Montero: some tea, Paxon.
Yang: I hope you can actually do your job. Yang: I've received an urgent request from my country. It would be a major problem if you failed.
Montero: Yo. Montero: If you don't think we can do it, then ask someone else, Yang-san. Montero: It's not like you're our only client.
08
Yang: I want you to get rid of this woman. Yang: Feng Yifei. Yang: She might also be going under her real name of Li Xinlin.
Montero: I've seen this at the Rio Carnival. Montero: That's a General Huerta costume.
Rob: No, it isn't, bro. Rob: That's from Halloween.
Paxon: It... Paxon: ugh... Paxon: looks like it's from a New Years play.
Yang: It's none of those. Yang: She's a former spy of the ruling three.
Montero: Oh, and she'll, um... Montero: be walking around... Montero: dressed like that?
Yang: Obviously she'll be in her normal clothes. That's the uniform of the People's Liberation Army. Yang: There's no way she'd be here in such a ridiculous outfit.
09
Yang: This photo was taken 5 years ago, so it's just to get an idea what she looks like. Montero: Yo, Chines. Montero: Isn't using us 4 brothers for one woman a tad overkill?
Yang: We like to be doubly sure. Yang: And... Yang: you're the only illegal contractors willing to act right away in this city.
Rob: It doesn't really matter, bro. Rob: Let's just take her out. Rob: Paxon, Rob: what do you think?
Paxon: If you two are doing it... Paxon: I'm in.
Montero: Yo, then it's decided. Montero: My brothers and I agree. We'll do it.
10
Montero: Yuan would be a bit of a problem, so pay us in dollars, Yang-san. Montero: Well, this looks like it'll be a quick job, brothers. Paxon: Yes, brother. Rob: Sure does, bro. Yang: W- Yang: Wait a second!
Rob: What is it, Yang-san? Yang: I just have a little question. Yang: Are you all... Yang: "stepbrothers"?
Text: Wah ha ha ha ha ha Rob: Brother Montero, Rob: It took 34 minutes for the question to come up this time!
Montero: See, I'm really good at reading people. Montero: It was just like I told you, Paxon!

Montero: I thought you would ask right up front... Montero: but you're pretty slow. SFX: Open Montero: Give him the answer, Rob.
Rob: We really are brothers, Yang-san. Rob: Each of us may have a different mother or father... SFX: Slam Rob: but it all overlaps.
Yang: Wait. Yang: I get that, but I have one more- SFX: Vrrrrrrr
Yang: You said you were "4 brothers'... Yang: so why... Yang: are there only 3 of you...?
12
SFX: Vrrrrrrr Revy: ...is what I said. Revy: We need to tell Dutch to cancel our setting sail tonight. Rock: Yeah. Rock: I feel sorry for Dutch, but it's the right decision.
Revy: Of course it is! Revy: Do you want me to tell you what kind of predicament you were in?
Revy: That woman was really intending on... Revy: getting you wrapped up in a "Full Mongol Army Charge". Rock: What's that?
Revy: It's a "gang bang"... Revy: An orgy, Rock. Revy: I'm not joking. And there's no way I could let her do that.
Revy: We were actually scheduled to carry some bastard... Revy: who was going to rob a bank in Indonesia. Rock: Well, there's no helping that. Rock: He did a spectacular job of screwing up and got himself killed. Rock: With the client dead, we can't really do anything about it.
Margin: What awaits Rock and Revy as they ditch their job!?

Garcia: Roberta, Garcia: This whole time...
Garcia: I've been thinking about what I would say to you, what I would tell you... Garcia: when I met you again.
Garcia: About what happened to me... Garcia: About what happened to you...
Garcia: But... Garcia: that would just be an explanation.
Garcia: That's why... Garcia: I bet everything on this.
Garcia: If you believe in me... Garcia: my bullet can't kill you.
Garcia: We can end this dance that smells of blood and pus. Crazy Roberta: We can't let it end. Crazy Roberta: Show me more... Crazy Roberta: lovely guts, sacks of blood, and tears of agony, Rosarita.
Garcia: I'm sorry, Roberta. Garcia: It took me quite a while to realize... Garcia: something so simple.

Fabiola: From the looks of his wound... Fabiola: you need to call your men-

Roberta: Why... Roberta: is that man alive!?
Fabiola: For the same reason you are, Miss Head Maid! Fabiola: Please, Fabiola: lower your gun!
Garcia: Roberta, Garcia: lower your gun.
26-27
Garcia: He... Garcia: was shot by me and died. Garcia: You're dead, too. Garcia: And I died here, too.
Garcia: There are no winners here anymore. Garcia: And no losers remain. Garcia: The "Dance of Death" could only end if no one was left.
Roberta: But... Roberta: Young Master!
Garcia: Even if we continued to dance within this grudge for eternity... Garcia: your sins and my pain would never disappear. Garcia: So, Roberta... Garcia: I now bear what you bear. Garcia: Just like you supported me, I will now support you and let you live. Garcia: That's what I came here to tell you.

Soldiers: Major! Soldiers: Bravo Standby Team has confirmed an enemy force at Point S221! Caxton: It's the main unit of the Va State Alliance. Caxton: They've noticed something unusual's going on.
Soldier: We don't have time. If this becomes an open battle, we have no chance of victory. Soldier: Do we continue fighting?
Caxton: We abandon our plan. Caxton: We'll reorganize and then move with all speed to the rendezvous point with the Lagoon.
Soldier: Roger, I'll give everyone those instructions. Soldier: Cyrus, take him to the boat...
Caxton: She and I... Caxton: will carry him. Caxton: Isn't that right?

Fabiola: We... Fabiola: were truly lucky. And... Fabiola: that includes you. Fabiola: How did it feel to bet on people's lives?
36
Fabiola: You toyed with my young master's life... Fabiola: for your own enjoyment. Fabiola: You just wanted to experience the thrill of the ultimate gamble.
Fabiola: But if it was just that, I'd forgive you. Fabiola: ...No. SFX: Cock gun Fabiola: I may not have forgiven you, but it wouldn't have pissed me off this much. Fabiola: You...
Fabiola: You used my young master as a pawn in your game of "Cambodian Roulette"... Fabiola: and then claimed you were acting out of good intentions and trying to save us. Rock: Cough Rock: Cough Rock: Cough Fabiola: That was where I made my error. Fabiola: I wasn't sure up until the end if you were a villain or not.
Fabiola: But I know now. Fabiola: You're the biggest bastard... SFX: Pick up Fabiola: in this city.
Fabiola: Blanks. Fabiola: The magic of a bluff... Fabiola: using fakes made of brass.
37
Rock: Even so... Rock: you won. Rock: Isn't... Rock: that all that matters?
Garcia: It's true that... Garcia: this couldn't have ended without anyone being injured. Garcia: And we achieved our goal.
Garcia: But... Garcia: For you to say that that's all that matters...
Garcia: You're already... Garcia: a true resident of this city.
38
Rock: ...No. Rock: I really... Rock: I was really trying to...
Revy: What a bunch of bullshit. Revy: These people... SFX: Lift gun! Revy: are the type who won't kill someone even if reason and the established way of doing things both tell you you should. Revy: Just ignore them. It's not like you're ever going to-
Fabiola: ...Of course he won't ever see us again. Fabiola: One day, even god will grow tired... Fabiola: of your foolish clamor.
Fabiola: And until then... Fabiola: you can just continue... Fabiola: waltzing with the dead in this rotten city.

SFX: Waves Chang: Hey. Chang: I've been looking for you.
Chang: I heard from Revy... Chang: that lately you'd taken a liking to watch things fade into twilight here. Seems she was right.
Chang: You haven't aged that much yet. Chang: Here. SFX: Toss Chang: This is the money from the Maid incident.
SFX: Fall
41
Rock: I didn't do it for the money.
Chang: This proves it's over. Chang: It's not some pointless object. Chang: But you're free to do whatever the hell you want with it.
SFX: Light Chang: Anyway... Chang: This ends it for me.
Chang: ...What a pain. Chang: This incident really weighed heavily on me. Chang: It feels like I stayed up all night and forced myself to eat a whole bucket of fried chicken.
Rock: It's not often... Rock: I hear you complain. SFX: Waves... Chang: I'm not so careless as to say that no one has ever died from a complaint. Chang: But...
Chang: There are moments when you want to mutter to yourself. Chang: I have them... Chang: and you have them.
42
Rock: That girl told me off... Rock: saying I was a villain who placed chips down on people's lives. Rock: Chang-san, Rock: am I a villain?
Chang: No matter what your motives were... Chang: it ended how it ended.
Chang: Maybe you truly just wanted to make a gamble that numbed your brain. SFX: Fly away Chang: Or maybe you wanted to rescue them from the position they were in. Chang: Or maybe it was both.
Rock: Did I really...
Rock: intend to save them? Chang: Heh. Chang: Congratulations, Rock.
43
Chang: You won the bet and the young head of the Lovelace family achieved his goal. Chang: But... Chang: Did they really achieve happiness?
Chang: Yeah, right. All the Lovelace kid has is a thorny path. Chang: He's definitely a good and brave person. Chang: But doing the right thing doesn't necessarily give you a happy ending.
Chang: The life ahead of him is a long one. Chang: He may find it too long.
44
Chang: Well... Chang: You can live the life of a monk. Chang: But if you want to ascertain the distinctions between good and evil... Chang: it's not that bad an idea to spend a good long time on it, Rock.
Chang: ...This sea breeze is getting harsh. How about a drink? Chang: We can have a toast to those two who are standing on the other side of South America.

Chapter 80
This took way longer than it should have because of the ridiculous amount of Chinese names and terms I had to look up romanizations and/or meanings of for this chapter.

SFX: Walking Text: Seasons 1 and 2 of the anime will be airing on the anime-specialty channel "AT-X"! They will be airing each Friday at 11:30 and 23:30 starting May 7th and repeating each week on Tuesdays at 17:30 and 29:30 starting May 11th.

SFX: Slam!
Liu: Is Shang Xiao Ma here!? SFX: Walking
Ma: Zh-Zhong Jiang Liu. [TN: Zhon Jiang is a Chinese military meaning Middle General.] Ma: Do... Ma: y... Ma: you need something?
Chang: Shang Xiao Ma! Chang: What the hell have you been doing! This is- Liu: Wait, Da Xiao Chang. [TN: Da Xiao is a Chinese military rank meaning Grand Field Officer.] Liu: I'll tell him.
Liu: Shang Xiao Ma, listen carefully. Liu: Early this morning, someone rudely came asking after me like I am you. Liu: Who do you think that was?
03
Ma: Who... Ma: was it?
Liu: It was the 14th of Chang'an Avenue, Shang Xiao Ma. Liu: The State Council and Ministry of State Security...
Wang: I am Wang Jingyong, assistant chief of... Wang: the eighth division of the State Council and Ministry of State Security, great Zhong Jiang. Wang: I have something regarding national security to discuss with you.
Ma: Th- Ma: The Ministry of State Security... Ma: What did they want to discuss...?
Liu: You idiot! Liu: If I knew, why would I be coming to you!? Chang: His greatness is right, Shang Xiao Ma! Chang: Shao Wei Yeyin! [TN: Shao Wei is a Chinese military rank meaning Junior Officer.] Yeyin: Y-yes, sir!
04
Yeyin: U- Yeyiin: Um... Yeyin: It's still unofficial, but...
Yeyin: We have been contacted by an overseas firm, Yeyin: the German Defense Corporation "Rainbach AG". Yeyin: Um... Yeyin: It was related to the theft of some important information related to avionics.
Yeyin: They suspect our military to be involved... Yeyin: and they say they have some clear evidence... Ma: Impossible!
Liu: Shang Xiao Ma, didn't you say you would finish up with "Rainbach Constructions"... Liu: with a positive result? Ma: That was 2 months ago... Ma: and we made sure there wasn't anything missing from the company itself.
Liu: If there had been no problem, this wouldn't be happening! SFX: Grinding teeth Liu: Think about this for a second, you fool! Yeyin: Um, if you don't mind... Yeyin: I'll continue.
Yeyin: "From late at night on the 6th to just before dawn on the 7th, a hacker persistently hacked in from the "Annenheim Distribution" corporate server. Yeyin: They have strong evidence that it was a current officer of the People's Liberation Army. (Paragraph Break)"...
05
Feng: It isn't a difficult mission, Shang Xiao Ma. Feng: I'll be using a corporation in Leiden as a stepping stool and..
Yeyin: Two months ago, they underwent the same type of attack by way of the same corporation's server... Yeyin: so they were able to obtain proof that "Annenheim Distribution" was a front corporation for the People's Liberation Army. Yeyin: And, um, that sums it up. Text at top computer: Rainbach AG Text at bottom computer: Annenheim Distribution
Liu: "Annenheim Distribution"... Liu: IS a front corporation of ours.
Ma: That's a false accusation, Zhong Jiang! Ma: A technician inside "Rainbach Constructions" was bribed into taking the information.
Ma: In other words, the information was taken from WITHIN Rainbach. Ma: The technician just used his exchange with "Annenheim Distribution" to conceal what he had done! Ma: And it isn't true that "Annenheim Distribution" overlooked the previous attack!
06
Liu: Shang Xiao Ma, Liu: the truth doesn't matter. Liu: Their means of coming to the conclusion may be wrong... Liu: but they DID REACH the correct answer.
Liu: We stole information from Rainbach two months ago.
Liu: And "Annenheim Distribution" is a front corporation of ours.
Liu: And there is proof that your subordinate, a soldier of the People's Liberation Army,
Liu: attacked Rainbach again.
Liu: With all that... Liu: they have enough.
SFX: Slide down
07
Yeyin: Um... Yeyin: There has been legal business between "Rainbach AG" and our People's Republic. Yeyin: Looking at the profit of both sides, if monetary reparations were needed... Yeyin: it wouldn't be made public and wouldn't be done officially.
Liu: It should be obvious that the Ministry of State Security would act. Liu: If we screw anything up in dealing with this, it could become a huge international problem. Liu: What the hell is the First District doing!? Liu: If I find out you've been playing around with your interns or something... Liu: you won't get off lightly!
Chang: Shang Xiao Ma.
Chang: Tell me what has been accomplished so far on the project. Chang: There is a chance you have a double spy working on it.
Ma: Don't be ridiculous!
Ma: We've infiltrated a group that mainly works on counterfeits and forgeries in order to understand the electronic technologies! Ma: It has nothing to do with this incident!
08
Chang: Then why did that soldier... Chang: know about "Annenheim Distribution"? Ma: Eh?
Liu: That's right. Liu: That officer has no connection to "Rainbach Constructions", right? Liu: That's odd. Chang: Indeed it is. Chang: If she knew about it, perhaps she was part of Rainbach all along.
Ma: That's impossible! Ma: Wu Ji Shi Guan Li is unparalleled in her loyalty for our People's Liberation Army. Her distinguished services have-
Liu: Listen, Liu: Shang Xiao Ma.
Liu: The People's Liberation Army intends to use this as a chance to spy inside Military Intelligence. Liu: The regulations are out-of-date, but they'll have enough of a chance to convince the Central Military Commission of all sorts of ridiculous things. Liu: What's most important is to not seek the truth... Liu: but to do what will get us out of this situation the fastest.
09
Ma: ...Meaning...?
Liu: "Annenheim Distribution"... Liu: should have nothing at all to do with us. Liu: And...
Liu: The kind of soldier who would commit treason against his or her motherland and betray the people... Liu: DOES NOT EXIST in the People's Liberation Army. SFX: Snap together!
Liu: If that's not how things are... Liu: all of us will be going through drills against camels in Chengdu District. SFX: Salute! Liu: I won't let the People's Liberation Army do anything halfheartedly. Liu: I want our withdrawal from this operation complete within 72 hours!

Jane: Oh, about that. Jane: It's a bit sudden, but you're fired.
11
Feng: ...Why? Jane: I made sure to monitor you. Jane: It really was too bad. You made it pretty far!
Jane: I have a few tips for you. Jane: Yeah. Jane: I bet they could be useful for you in the future. Jane: Normally, I wouldn't give you any tips, but I'll make an exception. Jane: Think of it like you won the "National Lotto".
Jane: First. Jane: Avoid using techniques beyond the textbook ones.
Jane: Because you can tell at a glance where someone learned them.

Jane: Second.
Jane: When going in through a backdoor someone else opened, be very careful.
Jane: You don't know if they've set up any tricks in it.
Jane: And, most importantly, third. Jane: If you don't hurry up and flee, Jane: you'll probably die.
Ma: It's me. Ma: There's no time, so I'll keep this short.
Feng: Shang Xiao Ma!? Ma: Are you a Mojian who is an enemy of your motherland? Ma: Because that's what people here believe.
Feng: Ridiculous! Feng: I was careless and that counterfeiting group set me up. Ma: I believe you, but this is no longer an issue where the truth matters. Ma: The higher ups have begun actions to completely erase everything related to this.
Ma: I'm sorry, Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. Ma: I can no longer save you.
Ma: To be honest, I shouldn't even be making this phone call. Ma: Think of this call... Ma: as my personal tribute to you.

Feng: What's...going on?
Ma: Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. Ma: I will take responsibility and inform your family of your loyalty and distinguished service. Ma: But well... Ma: I can't make it public.
Ma: I know. I'll move them to a high-class apartment in Shanghai with the funds for the classified mission. Ma: And, umm, I'll get them a Benz. Ma: And so that our People's Republic may maintain its peace, take your dirtied name as a Mojian... Ma: and disappear into Roanapur.https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/21479[English] [Translation] Black Lagoon 79 by js062010-04-10T23:53:20+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Text: Volumes 1-9 are on sale now and are huge hits!!! Blue-ray 007 and 008 went on sale March 25th!! OVA 001 of the anime's 3rd season is set to go on sale July 17th!! The writing of the 2nd novel is going well!!
Revy: The group who rented it out before... Revy: was some new group that recently wandered here and needed a place. Text: The entire Lagoon Company has gathered for the first time in a while. This time things begin with Revy's gossip. Revy: It was started by some Aussie who went broke in a Western city in Cambodia and his lover. Revy: He must really be at the end of his luck trying to get started here.
Title: #79 The Wired Red Wild Card PT.3
02
Revy: Anyway, on their first step into this new world, they had to find a way to make a living. Revy: They decided to open a whorehouse. SFX: Munch munch
Benny: How'd that work out? Benny: This isn't just a city of chaos. Benny: There are groups running whorehouses everywhere.
Revy: Exactly. SFX: Sip Revy: As you would think, they were idiots.
Rock: So? Rock: Who took care of them in the end?
Revy: It was at a street stand owned by "Visconti Foods". Revy: It's in the area under control of that well-known Italian group led by "Ronny the Jaws". Rock: Oh! Rock: That's harsh! Revy: Yeah, I feel sorry for them. Revy: They pissed him off.
Dutch: Oh! Dutch: That reminds me. Dutch: The Tamil group had something to leave with those Italians.
Dutch: PA East Container Yard. It's the container with the tag FDL 332. SFX: Grab! Revy: Got it. Revy: We're not setting sail today, are we?
Dutch: We're at the limit of what we can take on. I've got the extra stuff here. Can you take care of it today? Revy: Got it. After eating this stuff, I need some exercise to digest it anyway! Revy: Ah, you didn't let me finish my story. Where was I?
03
Rock: You got to where the wandering Aussie... Rock: made the biggest fuck-up of his life.
Revy: Oh, that's right. Revy: Well then those idiots...
Revy: went at that street stand with a metal bat. Well, that night Ronny's messenger showed up. Revy: He was the kind of guy who comes silently in the dark of the night. Revy: And before they could even get to the second word of "Please forgive us"... Revy: lead bullets had opened up holes in the Aussie and his wonderful companions that you could easily fit an umbrella in.
Revy: They chose the wrong people to cross. Revy: That group is almost as bad as "Hotel Moscow". Revy: Ignorance really is a crime. But that doesn't really matter. Revy: You can't help but talk about how stupid they were.
Revy: The best part of the story is coming up. Revy: You're gonna laugh your ass off. Heh heh heh. Rock: Revy. Rock: That smile is creepy.
Revy: There's a hilarious reason why they weren't found for 2 weeks. Revy: It's about those lodgings...
04
Revy: The area around the bathroom there has always been all broken-down. Revy: And the landlord's a heartless bastard, so he had no intention of fixing it in the next 200 years. Revy: So the residents... Revy: thought that it was just that someone had taken a really smelly dump.
Revy: But what it actually was was found out when... Revy: maggots came crawling out of the keyhole. Text right of Revy: Ah ha ha ha Rock: Stop it!! Rock: I'm trying to eat!!
Rock: We still can't get the smell out. This is horrible!! Benny: Ah, damn it. Benny: I've been breathing that in every day. I feel like I'm gonna turn into a merlion. Revy: Come on. You guys are naive. Revy: It gets better.
Dutch: But... Dutch: that calculation lady is pretty tough... Dutch: if she can work in that septic tank of a room without complaining.
Revy: Hey, hey. Revy: The people who come wandering here... Revy: are born of roaches and raised by roaches. Revy: Right?
05
Rock: The one who brought her there was Miss Bhai, Revy. Rock: Benny, Rock: how's she doing?
Benny: Well, she's... Benny: working at a net cafe on Nankwai road.

Ronny: First, I'm holding a phone. Ronny: Palermo is on the other side of the phone. I shouldn't have to tell you that that's my boss and your god.
Ronny: Luciano is in the back room in order to resolve any trouble with guests. Ronny: Now crank your tiny brain up to full power and figure this out. Ronny: And if you can't figure it out from that, I'll beat the solution into your head with a metal bat.
Revy: Wait, signore. Revy: Do you think we came here to play gin rummy with you? Revy: We're here with the goods from the Tamil group. If you don't need it, we can get rid of it for you.
Ronny: Don't fuck with me. Ronny: If you did that, you'd be- Guy: Do you understand, my Italian friend!? SFX: Open Guy: If you just retrieve "Ali Dragua" I'll have no complaints! Guy2: Okay, okay. Don't get so worked up.
Guy: We will definitely keep the Kanun and Besa. Guy: Please ask your Capo! Guy: I'm truly glad we came across you all. Guy: We could use the LBMA, but who knows what would happen.
Revy: So they're proposing to be either your partner or the Russians... Revy: depending on if you search for "Ali Dragua" or not. Text left of Revy: Heh heh heh Revy: I'm sure you know, Mustafa, Revy: that the "Golden New Moon" wasn't given to Ivan's rednecks. You people...
12
Revy: Hey! Revy: Are you telling people about our work, too!? Revy: If so, you should probably start walking around with a megaphone. Okay?
Revy: Hey, hey, Ronny. Revy: Aren't your soldiers a bit lax? Revy: Quiet, Two Hand, or I'll smash your teeth out. SFX: Grip
SFX: Aim!
13
Guy: Hey! Guy: Why are there chinks here!? Don't tell me...!
Revy: What's it to you? Revy: Got a problem with me, you piece of shit?
Emilio: Revy! Revy: You damn bohunks. Revy: C'mon, answer me!
Emilio: Calm down! Put those away!
Emilio: Tubronic! Put your gun away! Emilio: They're not Chinese. One's a Chinese-American and the other is Japanese!
Ronny: Yes, Capo. It seems that way... Ronny: Sorry, but... Ronny: those dumbasses are making a fuss, so I have to deal with it. I'll call you back in a bit.
Ronny: Hey. Ronny: You bastards.
14
Ronny: I wouldn't care one bit if I had to stick lit dynamite in your asses so it sticks up like a candle... Ronny: and redo this all from the beginning. Ronny: What... Ronny: do you think I should do?
Ronny: Hey, you from Lagoon. Ronny: Give that to the floor manager and take your payment. SFX: Holster SFX: Holster! Ronny: Now I've paid you the precise amount. So...
Ronny: Get the fuck out of my kingdom... Ronny: and forget everything you heard here. Ronny: Have you heard the rumors about me? SFX: Press
15
SFX: Vrrrrr Rock: This time it was Albanians. Rock: This place is turning into some kind of ridiculous international trade fair.
Rock: They... Rock: seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
Rock: What was the "Ali Dragua"... Rock: that that Albanian mentioned?
Revy: Hey, Revy: Rock.
Revy: He had a bad look on his face. Revy: It was like the face of someone who tried to earn a lifetime's worth of money at Vegas... Revy: and ended up with an arrangement to have a pistol stuck up his ass late at night.
Rock: I know that. Rock: So stop talking to me like you're my mom. Revy: If I was your mom, wouldn't I talk with a little more class?
16
SFX: Vrrrr Revy: Wouldn't I be so classy... Revy: that I'd make sure to cover it up with a handkerchief if I took a shit? Wouldn't she? Rock: That's none of your business. Rock: I don't want to talk about my family.
Feng: It's still before dawn in Würzburg... Feng: That server shouldn't have had that much security.
Feng: That's unnatural for it not being during the work day.
Feng: Odd. Feng: Why did such a suspicious counter-measure occur with that timing? Feng: I can't figure it out. Feng: There's something odd going on...!

Feng: Even for a research institute, security shouldn't be this light. Feng: It was set to the default port and there weren't any counter-measures. Feng: They are really underestimating me. This will only take me half a day...
SFX: Rinnng!
Feng: ...Yeah. Someone: Put on the coupler. Someone: The "Owner" wants to talk with you directly. When you're ready, call back on extension 9971.
Feng: This is "Hong Qiang", Shang Xiao-dono. [TN: Shang Xiao is a Chinese military rank meaning Senior Field Officer.] Shang Xiao: It's me. It's been a while. Shang Xiao: How has the plan progressed since we last talked.
04
Feng: My infiltration has gone perfectly well. Shang Xiao: It was right to choose you from the third group of the ruling three. I'm proud. Feng: I'm not too happy about how much it stinks. Shang Xiao: Stinks? Shang Xiao: What are you talking about?
Text: 9 hours earlier
Rock: Hey, Rock: there's something I want to say before we start this discussion. Rock: Doesn't this room... Rock: stink?
Jane: ...I was actually thinking the same thing. Feng: ...Yes, boss. So was I. Jane: No one was saying anything, so I assumed there was just something wrong with my nose. Benny: Oh, listen up for a second. Benny: I noticed it too of course, but I had a reason for not mentioning it. Benny: And it's that...
05
Jane: Ee...
Rock: Waah! Calm down! Benny: Honey, calm down! She's just here for work! Rock: Benny, take that chair from her!!
06
Jane: Y-y-y-y-you! Jane: I remember you! I remember you, you pervert!! Benny: Honey, I'm the one who called her here! Jane: Who hired you!? Don't tell me it was Girolamo's men again!
Benny: Her primary occupation is cleaning. Benny: When, for whatever reason, there are bodies or people who are arranged to be bodies... Benny: she TAKES CARE of them.
Jane: Sweety, are you crazy? Jane: You have to be kidding. She tried to kill me! Benny: Well, you just got a bad first impression of her. Jane: No matter how much you underplay that impression, it wasn't just bad.
Jane: You have to be kidding me!! Jane: If you called that woman here to have a nice tea party with her, you're either a saint or on the level of Mother Teresa! Rock: What? Rock: Me?
Rock: Wh... Rock: What is it? Rock: Oh, letters. Rock: Let's see... "I didn't bring my voice with me today...I'll speak like this."
Rock: Okay. Rock: "I came back to deal with something I forgot to take care of."
Rock: "I've sterilized everything else... Rock: so you should be able to use the room." Jane: Wait just a second. Jane: What is she talking about?
07
Benny: I'll explain it. Benny: After we heard your story, sweety, we looked around for a room for a bit. Benny: But we couldn't seem to find one.
Benny: This seasonal motel meant for the sex service was full of guests staying for a long period. Benny: That said, even if we prepared a place around the outskirts of the market, getting to and from it would be a pain. Benny: And luckily this room opened up. Benny: That happened just yesterday.
Jane: That's enough of an introduction! Jane: How does that relate to her...? Feng: Oh... Feng: I understand.
Feng: In other words, you could say that... Feng: the person living here ended up in a state in which they needed to be dealt with by this woman.
Rock: "That forehead glasses woman. Rock: Bingo."
Feng: Forehead glasses...!? Rock: "A group of 4 small-time punks were shot to death here... Rock: and that was 14 days ago." Rock: "It was quite a job carrying them out of here. Rock: The body bags weren't going to get the job done, so I called a number of people and we carried them out in buckets."
Jane: Buckets? Rock: Uuugh... Rock: I don't want to say that...
08
Rock: They were left alone for 14 days without air conditioning here in the tropics. Rock: They had swollen up due to decay and exploded. They had turned to broth, so it was necessary to... Jane: Stop! Jane: I don't want to hear about those kinds of details!! Benny: Yeah. Benny: The burrito I had for lunch is coming up.
Rock: So... Rock: The thing you forgot to take care of is what smells so bad. Rock: Oh, looks like it's that mattress. Rock: "Oh, you want to help?"
Rock: Wah. Rock: It has something like oil on it. Rock: What is it?
09
Rock: Eh? Rock: What!?
Feng: I understand. Feng: I don't want to, but I do. Feng: That mattress is the bread... Feng: and the butter is the peoples'...
SFX right of arrow in bubble: Gh.
Top Text: Oehhhhhh! Bottom Text: Splatter splatter splatter
Shang Xiao: What a messed up group. Shang Xiao: What a disaster, Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. [TN: Wu Ji Shi Guan is a Chinese military rank meaning Non Commissioned Officer (Class 5).] Feng: Don't worry about it. Feng: Anyway, if I can finish what I'm working on now... Feng: I will be able to advance to the next level as a member of the internet group she is connected to.
10
Shang Xiao: So ignoring the environment, things have started off well. Shang Xiao: The communications officer will be reporting to me at regular intervals... Shang Xiao: but tell me what the job you've been given is.
Feng: Yes, Shang Xiao Ma-dono. Feng: Unfortunately it isn't a job for the "Counterfeit Club", but...
Jane: Yeah... Jane: It isn't a very difficult task. Jane: I'm just seeing if you have the minimum amount of understanding needed for this job.
Jane: I'm sure you know about the "Highwaymen". Jane: We got a request from them to do some work.
Feng: The "Highwaymen"... Feng: That's the underground forum that specializes in corporate spying, right, boss? Jane: Right. Jane: They're after some data on avionics being developed at... Jane: the German electronics maker "Rainbach AG".
11
Benny: "Rainbach"! Benny: Isn't that a bit much to be starting out with, honey? Jane: Oh, sweety. This is a piece of cake. Jane: And as for the target to capture...
Jane: There's a Rainbach software branch in Würzburg. Jane: There's a program related to avionics on the main server there. Retrieve it and... Jane: Well, how about you bring it all back to me?
Jane: You'll start by searching their DNS server. Jane: Is that fine? Feng: No.
Jane: There's a trading company called "Annenheim Distribution" in Leiden. Jane: I borrowed their "chimney" for another case... Jane: so you can use them as a "stepping stone". Jane: They've had dealings with Rainbach in the past... Jane: so it won't hurt to search their access logs while you're at it.
Feng: Are you saying there's already a back door?
Jane: Are you complaining? Feng: Yes, boss. A little bit. Feng: I'm not so inexperienced that I would trouble you.
12
Jane: Y'know what? Jane: We don't have enough free time to play around with the newcomer.
Jane: So long as I haven't seen that this confidence of yours is warranted... Jane: I want to make sure you're the only one I see crying because her name was put on the ICPO list.
Jane: But don't worry. Jane: You'll pass this test if you use your head when you need to and don't make any mistakes when it matters. Jane: We'll all be happy. You'll be happy. You'll get a warm reception into the club. Do you have a problem with anything?
Feng: ...No. Feng: That's good enough, boss. Jane: Oh, good. Jane: I thought you were going to bite my head off with that look you were giving me.
Jane: Now then, Jane: Miss Fu Manchu. Jane: Show me that you're not just... Jane: a script kiddie.
13
Shang Xiao: ...I get the gist of it, Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. Shang Xiao: I guess this is what they call an impudent thief. It's angering. Feng: It definitely is, Shang Xiao-dono.
Shang Xiao: Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. Shang Xiao: Our army is beginning to rush towards creating a Wang Jun. [TN: Wang Jun is Chinese for "online army".] Shang Xiao: The work you are doing now is for the coming 21st century.
Shang Xiao: We want you to make us the forerunners... Shang Xiao: in the fight that will be ruled by cyber warfare. Feng: I'll give us that title, Shang Xiao-dono.
Shang Xiao: The technology and skills we acquire from the work being done at the 2nd group's 1st location... Shang Xiao: will be compiled together into the drill book that will be the foundation of the Wang Jun. Shang Xiao: And you all are the honored first troops of the drill commander.
14
Shang Xiao: The central party and the military committee will gladly accept our requested budget. Shang Xiao: I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that the future of the People's Liberation Army is counting on your work! Shang Xiao: Your dedication is... Shang Xiao: of the level of the pro-Korea anti-America volunteer army during the Korean War.
Feng: I'm honored, Feng: Shang Xiao Ma-dono.
Shang Xiao: Yes. Shang Xiao: I hope I will receive even more diligence from you, Wu Ji Shi Guan Li. Shang Xiao: You are from...the Hubei province, right? Let's see... Shang Xiao: It was She...um, Shen... Feng: ...Shennongjia, Shang Xiao-dono.
Shang Xiao: Oh. Shang Xiao: That's right, that's right. Sorry, sorry. Shang Xiao: There are a lot of technology officers from central China. Shang Xiao: But the fact that such excellent officers are born even in the remote areas truly makes me proud of our people's republic!
15
Shang Xiao: I'm sure that... Shang Xiao: your family is delighted, too.
Feng: ...Not really. Feng: Not that I care.
Shang Xiao: ...Um. Shang Xiao: Did I say something I shouldn't have? Feng: ...Not at all, Shang Xiao-dono. Shang Xiao: W-well, good. Shang Xiao: I'll contact you later. Work towards getting a suitable mission.
Benny: So that's the reason behind the costume parade. Benny: When did you realize she was an agent, honey?
16
Jane: When? Jane: Since she came to the forum. Jane: The trick to attacking the American Department of Justice she brought as a gift... Jane: was exactly the same as the one used by an unknown hacker that had been seen going through Beijing.
Jane: I did a bit of poking around just to be sure and I found a photo that was clearly her in... Jane: the student records of the Liberation Army's Xi'an communication academy. Benny: How unfortunate.
Jane: It's unfortunate for her, but lucky for us. Jane: Thanks to her coming, the "Highwaymen" guys... Jane: have tripled the reward for the Rainbach stuff.
Jane: Now then... Jane: I should be getting some information about now. Benny: From a partner? Jane: Yup. Jane: McGee D in Lyon is observing her work.
Jane: Once her "Dictionary Attack" succeeds and she gets in... Jane: every one of her actions will be recorded. Jane: Oh, poor Miss Peking Duck. Jane: She isn't the one stealing, she's being stolen from!

Rock: Triple. Rock: 15. Text: What's left for Rock after Garcia and the others left Roanapur...?
Rock: That's a nice amount of points.
Title: #77 The Wired Red Wild Card PT.1
02
Rock: I've learned my lesson. Rock: I'm not sticking my nose into other people's business anymore.
Benny: Why?
Rock: I know now... Rock: that it almost never turns out well. Benny: Oh, you're talking about what happened back then. I understand. Benny: How's your rib?
Rock: It's cracked.
Benny: Well, my condolences. Benny: But I see you can move around.
03
Rock: It's not about whether I can move around or not. Benny: It isn't really something to complain about, Rock. Benny: In that situation, you did quite well to have things end the way they did, right?
Benny: Everyone got away successfully... Benny: and you protected Mister Chang's intentions. Benny: To be honest, I didn't think you could do that well.
Benny: I thought you'd either... Benny: no longer be here... Benny: or be floating in a ditch somewhere.
Rock: I worked to get everyone out of there... Rock: and all I got as thanks was a cracked rib.
04
Benny: There was no avoiding that cracked rib. Benny: You could say it was like you took all of their assets and put them in an incredibly dangerous futures transaction. Benny: From the perspective of those who didn't know the risk you undertook... Benny: your reasoning looked like "Heads I win; tails you lose."
Benny: Don't give me that look, Rock. Benny: I'm not attacking you. SFX: *thunk* Benny: It's just that... Benny: to put unity and making sure of your intentions above results requires a certain kind of person.
Benny: If everyone's values were the same... Benny: no one would complain if the only food left was Campbell's chicken noodle soup. Benny: No one would care whether they liked it or not and the world would be at peace.
Benny: But, unfortunately, the world isn't like that. Benny: Because of that, you broke a rib. That's all there is to it.
05
Rock: Have I... Rock: changed?
Benny: Who knows. Benny: Maybe you have, maybe you haven't.
06
Benny: Fabiola...
07
Benny: No... Benny: All of them...
Benny: may have... Benny: been afraid of you.
Rock: Is that her?
Benny: Yeah... Benny: probably.
08
Benny: Despite how she looks... Benny: she isn't careless about time.
Jane: Yah!
09
Jane: Oh, my sweetheart! Jane: I've wanted to see you. We've only had contact through email for half a year now. Could you tell how tired of it I was!? Jane: I kept wanting to dig myself out of my job and come see you!
Jane: When the chance finally came, I actually jumped for joy. Oh, look, look! Jane: I bought a whole bunch of "Shame" lingerie! Jane: It emphasizes the breasts and, look, it opens up here!
Jane: ...Do you really think so? Benny: Of course I do. Really. Jane: Then why don't you look very happy? Jane: Don't tell me you've gotten another woman while I was gone.
Benny: Stop it. I... Jane: Agh, you're so infuriating! Jane: I'm gonna strangle you! Mgyuuu! Rock: Hey, hey. Bao: Are you two planning on getting it on here?
10
Bao: Lady, if you're gonna do it, do it upstairs. Bao: It's much more sanitary than those cheap bedbug ridden motels. Jane: Oh. Jane: I thought there was a brothel up there.
Bao: A women can choose the room based on what kind of play she's into. Bao: I'll give you a discount today, so you can stay until tomorrow morning for 30 dollars. Jane: Well, what do you think, my little bagel? Jane: I'm fine with it.
Benny: ...Ahh. Benny: Listen up, chocolate pie. Jane: What is it, darling?
Benny: If we spent a night of loving here... Benny: there would be videos of us being sold throughout town for 25 bucks a pop tomorrow. Jane: What the hell? Jane: Then shouldn't you be letting us stay there for free?
Jane: You should pay me what you would pay a porn star. This is a capitalist country, isn't it? Benny: Um, honey? Benny: That's not the issue here. Bao: You greedy bitch. Bao: I doubt anyone would even pay to see you two fucking.
Jane: I don't want to be called greedy by someone who was going to make money off of peeking on us! Rock: Um... Rock: Sorry, but aren't you two forgetting something?
11
Jane: Oh, are you still here? Jane: You can leave. Rock: Oh, okay. Rock: Benny, I'm going. Have fun.
Benny: Honey, don't snap at him like that. Benny: He's here for a reason. Benny: I brought him with me so he could show your companion around. Jane: My companion?
Jane: Oh! Jane: My companion. Jane: Crap, I completely forgot. Rock: Give me a break. Rock: I'm really gonna leave.
Jane: But... Jane: She was supposed to be here by now. Rock: Is she lost? Rock: This isn't a city for someone to wander around their first time here.
Jane: ...Shut up. Jane: She knows the address so she'll make it. She's an adult after all.
Rock: You really didn't put any thought into this, did you? Bao: She may have... Bao: gotten a hole blown in her in an alleyway somewhere as soon as she arrived.
12
Jane: Yeah, right. Jane: ...She'll be fine no matter what. Jane: Unless there's a civil war going on or something.
Rock: It'll really help you later on... Rock: if you realize how naive you are. Bao: How long do you think some good-for-nothing or idiot who isn't part of an organization is going to last in this city? Bao: If you think everyone here makes a living working at pizza parlors, you're quite mistaken.
Rock: I'm sure you haven't forgotten what happened to you the last time you came here. Rock: If you aren't careless about time, you should know what a bad sign her not being here yet is. Benny: Honey, we may have to go looking for her. Benny: Do you have photo of her or something?
Jane: Oh, Jane: a photo!
Jane: That's right, a photo! Jane: Hee hee hee. Wanna see it? Rock: What's with... Rock: that creepy grin?
Jane: One thing before I show you. Jane: Don't tell anyone else about this photo. Jane: Got it?
13
Rock: ...This is horrible. Rock: I can only think that the person who took this had some kind of evil intention. Rock: It reminds me of a monkey I saw at the circus as a kid. Bao: It's like the Shichi-Go-San festival. Bao: She was clearly put into these clothes. Benny: I can only think that this was a Halloween costume. It's the perfect photo to make someone burst out laughing.
Rock: W... Rock: Well, now we know what she looks like. Rock: Even if it's just barely.
Benny: She won't be dressed like that now. Benny: Anyway... Benny: It would be best if we could find her before it gets dark.
Benny: She could have gone to Ransapp market. Rock: I'll go, too. Things could be bad if she went to the slums, right? Jane: Eh? Wait a second! Jane: If we're going out, at least let me check out one of the floats!
14
Feng: All of my luggage... Feng: was stolen.
15
Jane: Oh... Jane: that was fast. Rock: Ehhhhhhhhhh!!?
Rock: That's that same person? Rock: No way! Benny: Well I guess we won't be going to any floats. Benny: Let's go elsewhere. I'll bring my car around.
SFX: Pshh!
Benny: It's just a warm Singha, but it's all we have. Feng: Thanks. Jane: Did those two steal all of your luggage? Feng: No, boss. Feng: I took a long-distance bus and a tuk-tuk from Bangkok...
16
Feng: But as soon as I got off the tuk-tuk, the biggest trunk was stolen. Feng: And while I was waiting at the police station, my wallet was pickpocketed. Jane: And when I had finally gone the rest of the way on foot, those two came. Rock: Wow. Rock: That sure was quick.
Jane: We can get money and machinery here, so don't worry about it. Jane: Anyway, you know about me... Jane: but all I know about you is the introduction you gave and your screen name on the "Electro Bandits Forum". Jane: I'd like to hear a bit about your personal history.
Feng: Yes, boss. Feng: I'm from Hong Kong and worked at the engineering department at Southampton. My specialty is FORTRAN. Feng: I named myself "Violet Spear" on the forum, but my name is Feng Yifei. Feng: Please let me be a member of your group!

Text on right and left: The climax arrives like an earthquake!!
Roberta: ...Heh. Roberta: Heh heh heh...heh heh.
Roberta: ...You just...keep on...dying...heh heh. Roberta: You little foxes.
02
Roberta: The hunt will not end until... Roberta: I've skinned every fox in this forest. Roberta: Your target is in the palm of Descima's hand.
Roberta: If you want it...come out. Roberta: It's almost tea time... Roberta: When dawn comes, everything will be over.
Ray: Descima? Ray: What does she mean?
Caxton: He's a convicted noble thief told of in Colombia. Caxton: ....Ray. Caxton: She annihilated Shwe Yan's bodyguards and circled around ahead of us... Caxton: ...Did you expect this?
Ray: Expect this? Ray: Did I expect this? Ray: Did I expect this ridiculous turn of events, Shane?
Ray: That the elite of the SOG would... Ray: be massacred by a maid from South America? Ray: What kind of joke is this?
Soldiers: Major! Soldiers: We've reached RP Romeo and we can't contact the members of Delta! Soldiers: We've found the corpses of Lieutenant Decard, Corporal Grant, and PSG Gischler!
Soldiers: Major! Soldiers: It's no longer possible to capture "Target R". Soldiers: Give us permission to fight back!
Ray: She's a monster. We underestimated her. Ray: Please think about this, Shane.
Ray: Things have gone far enough!
Echo: This is Echo. We've reached RP X-ray... Echo: Give us your order! Should we go after "Target R" or infiltrate the village! Echo: Delta, someone, anyone, respond!
Ray: Shane!
04
Fabiola: You'll see this through to the end. Fabiola: You're on the side of justice, right?
05
Fabiola: Weighing the losses and advantages on a scale when things aren't going well... Fabiola: isn't something someone on the side of justice would do.
Soldiers: Major! Give us our orders! Soldiers: From our position we can disarm "Target R" without killing her! Soldiers: Give us permission to snipe!
Ray: Boy, stop this. Ray: All of our comrades... Ray: will die!
Ray: Shane! Ray: The situation's gone south and the operation was a failure!
Ray: Give up on the target!
Fabiola: Quit shouting, old man. Fabiola: The one to decide this isn't you. It's him.

07
Soldier: Aaa Soldier: aa Soldier: aa Soldier: ah!
Ray: Come back, Sanchez! Return to the RP!
Ray: Major, give the order to infiltrate!! Ray: Shane!
Revy: Tch. Revy: This is lacking a climax. Revy: Just kill her already. Revy: It's best to keep things simple.
08
Garcia: Just like you value your men's lives...
Garcia: Major, Garcia: I can only continue to value Roberta's life.
Garcia: This is my fight. Garcia: It's a fight... Garcia: against you, against myself, and against this world, major.
09
Soldiers: Alpha, we've lost sight of "Target R". Can you see her!?
Soldiers: We've lost contact with Echo. No one's responding!
Soldiers: Major, what are our orders!?
Text: The final vanishing point is before their eyes.
Caxton: Miss Roberta, can you hear me? Caxton: This is Major Shane Caxton, of the United States Army.
10
Caxton: All responsibility lies with me alone. Caxton: Hand Shwe Yan over to my men. Caxton: If you do... Caxton: I will do as you wish and surrender to you.
Caxton: My men's target is not you. If they capture the general, their mission will be complete. Caxton: It's the best option for both of us.
Roberta: ...The best? Roberta: Don't make me laugh. Roberta: Having people like you wiped from the face of this earth... Roberta: would be best for me.
11
Roberta: The one being chased after isn't me; it's you all. Roberta: So that you won't forget me. Roberta: So that you won't forget what you did to me.
Roberta: For that sake alone, I have destroyed anything and everything and drawn ever closer to the shadow of death. Roberta: I can't forgive you. Roberta: I can't forgive you people.
Garcia: Roberta?
Garcia: Roberta.
12
Garcia: You know who this is, right? Garcia: I've finally, finally caught up with you.
Garcia: There's an open field at the entrance to the village you're in. Garcia: Wait there.
Garcia: I will definitely...
13
Caxton: ...Let's go. Caxton: There isn't much time until dawn. Caxton: She's given us a time limit. If we don't hurry, we'll be too late.
Caxton: Do you... Caxton: have a plan?
Garcia: Yes, I do. Garcia: But it's just one little move... Garcia: and I'll need your help.

Roberta: Ever since that day... Roberta: I have brought death to people who should have lived... Roberta: and the dead have spoken to me. Roberta: The passage of time...has become unclear as well...
Roberta: I don't... Roberta: even know if I'm alive... Roberta: or if I'm dead... Roberta: I... Roberta: don't know what's going on anymore.
Roberta: But... Roberta: But, Young Master... Roberta: After this is over, we can go back to the mansion. Roberta: To... Roberta: the mansion where... Roberta: the orchids are blooming...
18
Garcia: Roberta.
Garcia: I can answer your questions. Garcia: We might even be able to right your wrongs. Garcia: But...
Garcia: all of what happened... Garcia: it didn't matter.
19
Roberta: ...How? Roberta: Of course it mattered.
Roberta: Your father was killed. Roberta: Our life was taken from us!
Roberta: They made you suffer. Roberta: They took everything from me. Roberta: I can't forgive them. Roberta: I can't forgive them.
Roberta: So, Young Master... Roberta: I beg you. Speak one simple word to me. Roberta: Tell me to "execute" him. Roberta: If you do, even now, I can...
Garcia: The one who started all that happened to you... Garcia: was him. Garcia: And the one who will cause it to end...
20
Garcia: is him.
Roberta: Aa Roberta: aa Roberta: ah!
21
Roberta: No. Roberta: No. Roberta: You can't do that...!
Roberta: What have you done! Roberta: Aah!
Roberta: What have you done! Roberta: I-I... Roberta: I had to...!! Roberta: I had to do it!!
Garcia: Roberta? Garcia: You're wrong. Garcia: You didn't have to punish anyone; you didn't have to bring justice to anyone...
Garcia: You cannot make up for your sins. Garcia: You can't end anything. It's all already over.
22
Roberta: No! Roberta: You're not my Young Master! Roberta: My Young Master...wouldn't say that!
Roberta: Because... Roberta: Like this, no one gets repaid!
Roberta: It isn't over!
23
Garcia: Roberta, Garcia: This whole time...
Garcia: I've been thinking about what I would say to you, what I would tell you... Garcia: when I met you again.
Garcia: But...
Garcia: That's why... Garcia: I made a bet with you.
Garcia: If you believed in me... Garcia: my bullet wouldn't kill you. Garcia: We can end this here. Garcia: Do you believe me? Do you believe him?
24-25
26
Garcia: See, Garcia: we're not dead.
27
28
Garcia: Let's go home, Garcia: Roberta.
29
Roberta: Young Master?
Garcia: ...It's okay... Garcia: It was necessary for it to come to this. Garcia: The major, you, and I have all died here. Garcia: ...So let's begin again...from here...!

Chapter 75
01
Roberta: I swear on the name...
Roberta: of Santa Maria... Roberta: that I will deliver a blow from an iron hammer...
Roberta: to all injustice.
02
Soldiers: Ahh... Soldiers: Ahh...
Soldiers: Ahh... Soldiers: Ahh!
03
04
Echo: Echo to command unit. Please respond! Echo: Our point man, Maddock, and our TL, Gallati, have been taken out...
Echo: She's aiming for the head and due to our thermal scopes, our view is confined!
Caxton: Decard, can you hear me? Caxton: Have everyone but the unit leader remove their thermal scopes.
Caxton: Prepare for a close-range battle!
05
Caxton: The trailing team is to split up. Caxton: You have permission to fight back!
Caxton: Delta is currently moving to point. Caxton: Continue to give them covering fire!
Echo: Echo here. Roger that!!
06
Echo: Another man has been taken out! Echo: His bullet-proof vest was penetrated. "Target R" is using...
Echo: flechette rounds!
Caxton: I see...
Caxton: Why... Caxton: didn't I realize it...?
07
Caxton: These are... Caxton: closed staffs used to contain the rounds.
Shane: ...It couldn't be! Shane: What an amazing antique!
Caxton: That's right. But... Caxton: it's simple, so as long as you have a sabot...
Caxton: you can fire...
Caxton: any type of round.
08-09
Caxton: She's... Caxton: come to hunt us with a musket!
Caxton: Beckett, take your soldiers and head around to her flank. Caxton: There will be a lag until she fires next! Caxton: Sergeant Major Sanchez and Corporal Bowman, you're our sniper cover!
10
Soldier: Delta, we've lost sight of "Target R"! Soldier: Can you see her?
Soldier: I see her. She's staying in one spot!
Soldier: Decard! Soldier: There aren't any other soldiers with you. Where's your second-in-command?
Soldier: Hey!https://mangahelpers.com/t/js06/releases/16735[English] [Translation] Black Lagoon 74 by js062009-10-11T05:07:26+00:00js06admin@mangahelpers.com

Chapter 74
01
Dutch: This is Laotian territory. Dutch: That's Myanmar territory.
Dutch: For 90 miles around here, everyone's at a stand off... Dutch: We're right smack in the middle of the contested area. Dutch: This is...
Dutch: the "Golden Triangle". Dutch: This is the end of the line, folks.
02
Caxton: Begin disembarking!
Soldier: Check your equipment. Soldier: Fill up your canteens without making a noise!
Soldier: Have you confirmed the frequency and how is your watch? Soldier: It's all fine. No problems.
Soldier: Echo Unit, begin disembarking!
03
Benny: We'll wait for you until you're done with your hunt, major. Benny: We'll be on standby 3 miles downstream until the hunt is over... Caxton: Okay, understood. Caxton: The captain and I exchanged frequencies already.
Benny: Then I have nothing more to tell you. Benny: Have a good hunt.
Caxton: There's one thing I want to ask you. Caxton: Your...
Caxton: No... Caxton: Your boss... Caxton: he's a Nam vet, right?
Benny: I don't really care, but that's what he told me. Benny: What of it?
04
Caxton: I was in Vietnam until '71. Caxton: He said he was a member of the BWN's TF116 and took part in Operation "Crimson Tide"... Caxton: but TF116 didn't take part in that operation.
Caxton: Also...
Caxton: He didn't understand the GI slang. Caxton: Simply put, the history he gave is all fake.
Caxton: People don't lie for no reason. Caxton: There is always an intention behind deception. Caxton: You're young. You should be on your guard.
05
Soldier: Preparations to disembark are complete. Soldier: Everyone is present! Soldier: Major, get off the ship!
Caxton: Yes, I'm going now...?
Garcia: We're going, too. Garcia: Major.
06
Caxton: No. Caxton: We don't know whether your "target" will show or not.
Caxton: And if the operation gets under way, this area will become a kill zone. Caxton: Until we have more information, we can't bring a child to the area.
Garcia: She WILL come, major. Garcia: And... Garcia: you people might be able to subdue Roberta.
Garcia: But... Garcia: The only one who can stop her... Garcia: is me.
07
Caxton: ...Ray, can you hear me?
Soldier: Yes. Caxton: Those two children will be accompanying the command unit.
Caxton: After moving to coordinates X-ray 23, go on standby along with the command unit. Caxton: We'll act according to how the situation develops. Soldier: Roger. Soldier: Master Sergeant Horner has prepared the strike force. He can be assigned to protect him.
Caxton: ...So there's no stopping you, boy?
Garcia: That's correct. Garcia: Thank you, major.
Garcia: ...Major. Garcia: While we're at it, I have one more request. Caxton: What is it?
08
Garcia: Give that to me...
Benny: Hey, Rock. Benny: Where have you been? Rock: I was just in contact with someone. Rock: Where are they?
09
Revy: They've already gone. Revy: They've all gone out for their midnight picnic. Revy: Wanna make a bet on how many make it back alive?
SFX: *snap* SFX: *snap*
Rock: What about the "gun"? Benny: ...What?
Rock: Did he... Rock: take the gun... Rock: from the major?
Benny: Yeah, it seems he did. Benny: What of it?
10
Rock: Yes. Rock: Yes, yes. Rock: It's in. Rock: The key's in the lock!
Rock: Mister Chang made an uninformed bet. Rock: But if he took that, then the two pieces have been gathered. Rock: The jackpot will definitely come. Rock: Serves you right, Chang-san.
Rock: He's lost, Benny. Rock: He's lost!
11
Delta: Alpha, this is Delta. We've reached the sentry line. Delta: All clear. The RP point is still at coordinates Z 62. Alpha: Alpha here. Roger. We'll stay on standby.
12
Echo: This is Echo. We've reached the sentry line.
Echo: No movement. No traps. We'll stay on standby at coordinates X 33. Alpha: Alpha here. Roger that. Both units are to wait until 0230 hours and then begin scouting out the area.
Echo: Echo here. Roger. When will the LUP arrive? Alpha: 0300 hours.
Echo: 0300 hours, roger.
Delta: This is Delta. Roger.
Alpha: After rendezvousing, stay in standby in attack formation. Alpha: We'll begin infiltrating the enemy territory with the sunrise at our backs. We'll attack at 0425 hours.
13
Caxton: Echo and Delta Units. Caxton: Things will most likely get messy once we attack "Target R", our secondary target.
Caxton: We may make contact during the charge or after we've secured the area...anyway... Caxton: Alpha, the command unit will act as bait and a diversion while you fight. Caxton: As explained in the briefing aboard the ship, you are to adapt to the situation and act as you see fit.
Echo: Echo here. Roger. Delta: Delta here. Roger.
Soldier: Major!
Caxton: What? Caxton: Is it a trap or some kind of sensor?
Soldier: No, this is... Soldier: Look around. Soldier: Look at this, major!
14-15
Caxton: ...Echo, Delta! Caxton: Any changes in your area? There are 20 inch.... Soldier: We're checking it out, major!
Soldier: They're wooden...cylindrical objects. They're stuck in the ground in the area. Soldier: I can see a couple dozen lined up with about 3 feet of space between them.
Soldier: I don't see any explosives or wires.
Echo: Alpha, this is Echo. It's the same over here. Echo: They might be some kind of indicator or something...What should we do!?
16
Caxton: ...I don't know. Caxton: Anyway, continue reconnaissance of the area. Prepare yourself for what you could find.
Soldier: Roger. Caxton: Shane. Caxton: Look. They don't even have noise makers on them. They're just sticks.
Caxton: Could it be some kind of... Caxton: Shan or Va religious art?
Shane: In the basic briefing, we covered the cultures of the tribes in the area. Shane: But I've never heard of something like this.
Caxton: It's just...
Caxton: I've seen something... Caxton: that looked like it somewhere. Caxton: Where was it? ...Damn it!
17
Fabiola: ...Young master. Fabiola: That's...
Garcia: I don't know what it is, but... Garcia: It's her.
Garcia: She's already here.
18
Echo: Alpha, this is Echo! Echo: Major, respond!
19
Caxton: This is Alpha. Respond, Echo. Echo: This is Echo. We've reached the reconnaissance point, but... Echo: Something's not right. We can't detect any kind of motion.
Caxton: Is it deserted? Echo: That's right, major. There are no guards and we don't see any movement around the fence.
Caxton: Did we miss them? Caxton: Delta, what's the situation?
Delta: This is Delta. We haven't seen any movement. Delta: We can see the plant, but no people.
Echo: A body! Echo: Alpha, this is Echo. We've spotted a body!
Echo: There are 2...3 bodies next to the gate as well. And in the central plaza...
20-21
Echo: It's "Target R"!
Caxton: Echo, Charlie!! Caxton: The narcotics plant has already been taken out.
Caxton: The only ones in this jungle... Caxton: are us and "Target R"!!
22
Caxton: Shane! Caxton: Is Shwe Yan safe!? Caxton: "Target R" is on the move. Charlie Unit, take up formation!!
Shane: Until the next scheduled report, inform the force of anything occurring in this village. Shane: If we can't capture him, this operation will have been a failure!
Caxton: I've taken that into consideration. Caxton: The traps aren't just claymores.
Caxton: In order to get our hands on Yan, we have to stop her. Caxton: She's put a time limit on this fight!
23
Garcia: ...Major.
Caxton: It's too soon, boy. Caxton: Securing the target takes priority.
Soldier: Alpha. Soldier: The target is moving to your 1 o'clock. We're tracking her and will give her a warm reception!
Echo: This is Echo Unit FTL. Echo: We'll work with Alpha to guard your flank! Echo: This is Echo. Alpha, respond!
Soldier: We're at coordinates R6 and have lost sight of the target. We lost sight of her at 4D. Soldier: Can you see her from there!? Delta: This is Delta FTL. Can you see her from there!?
24
Soldier: ...Echo! Soldier: Echo, can you hear me!?
Soldier: Ah, damn it. I've spotted her! She's...

Chapter 73
01
Caxton: What's going on, Captain? Caxton: If we need to, we can seajack this ship.
Text: Rock's evil side comes out!
Rock: That won't be necessary. Rock: He's just a kid, major.
Rock: He's up on the deck. Rock: We're still a ways from our destination. Rock: And he purposefully came out for you. I'm sure he has a lot to talk to you about.
02
03
Caxton: So it's you. Caxton: I had a feeling I'd be meeting you again.
04
Garcia: ....Major. Garcia: This belongs to you.
Caxton: So... Caxton: you've...
Garcia: forgiven you? Garcia: I can never forgive you.
05
Garcia: I'll never forget what you did. Garcia: I doesn't matter if you personally wished for it or not. Garcia: Every part of my family was completely messed up.
Garcia: None of it will ever be the same. Garcia: It's all because of what you did.
Caxton: Then that's... Caxton: all the more reason that you should shoot me. I'm prepared.
Caxton: Why? Caxton: You have so much anger... Caxton: and yet you aren't going to shoot me. Why?
06
Garcia: You really are...
Garcia: a proper and noble soldier, major. Garcia: I respect you for that. I really do.
Garcia: But... Garcia: for that very reason... Garcia: you went down the wrong path just like she did.
Garcia: In following the virtue and pride that you personally believe in... Garcia: you saved people who deserved to live.
Garcia: But...
Garcia: what you used to do so... Garcia: was death and violence.
07
Garcia: It's the same... Garcia: with Roberta.
Garcia: You and Roberta... Garcia: have always held the philosophy of death. Garcia: You continue to fight on the principles of pride and virtue. Garcia: And yet the endings you two create...
Garcia: The ending is always death and destruction. Garcia: And that... Garcia: is repeated again and again. Garcia: And I've seen that scenes like that keep happening.
08
Garcia: This... Garcia: can only be used for violence, but that is why it can resolve it all.
Garcia: Atonement for the past and salvation from the past. Garcia: It's all based on violence, major.
Garcia: You saw that immoral city... Garcia: and it's outlaws, right, major?
09
Garcia: They're the same. Garcia: They're all dancing the Dance of Death. Garcia: They keep dancing that Dance of Death with a sneer on their face... Garcia: You two have always been dancing, as well.
Garcia: And, major... Garcia: that's why I'm returning this to you.
Garcia: Using this would mean I was joining... Garcia: the "Dance of Death" that took everything from me. Garcia: And why would I want to do that?
10
Garcia: You told me I had the "right to revenge". Garcia: In that case... Garcia: I will not use that right.
Garcia: I refuse to join in the dance or to make anyone else join in the dance. Garcia: That's... Garcia: my form of resistance... Garcia: against the "Dance of Death".
Garcia: And I... Garcia: won't let you die or let myself forget about you.
Garcia: If it's possible for you, I want you to suffer...no. Garcia: It should be possible for someone as noble as you to suffer.
Garcia: I want you to suffer like Roberta did. Garcia: I want you to have the core of your being worn down to the point that it seems like it will break like it did with her.
11
Caxton: She's... Caxton: still...?
Garcia: Yes. Garcia: She is a killing machine fueled only by... Garcia: the thought of defeating you people.
Garcia: I came here to remove her from the dance. Garcia: But...
Garcia: to do that, I need help. Garcia: Help from... Garcia: people who are also dancing the dance.
12
Caxton: Are you... Caxton: fine with this?
Caxton: If you want a nice, pretty ending to this, all you can do is wait for a miracle. Garcia: I would do that if I could. Garcia: But I no longer have the luxury of time.
Caxton: ...There aren't many operations where this many unexpected things pop up. Caxton: The truth is, I'm not sure what to do either. Caxton: This really is a tough situation.
13
Caxton: But... Caxton: both you and I...
Caxton: have things worth doing. Caxton: Right?
14
Caxton: I've gotten new information on the situation. Caxton: We are heading towards a crucial point... Caxton: and I want your opinions concerning it.
15
Rock: Where's Garcia-kun? Rock: He's not on the deck, so I thought he'd gone back here.
Fabiola: ...Quit sniffing around for him. It's depressing. Fabiola: It's like he's under observation and it's creepy. Rock: Well, sorry, but... Rock: there's no one on this boat who's unrelated to this matter.
Fabiola: He went down from the deck with Fox a second ago. Fabiola: The mood didn't seem right to call out to him and... Fabiola: he went into the room where the soldiers are without saying anything...
16
Rock: ...I see. Rock: So that's it.
Rock: ...So that's what happened. Rock: It this goes well...
Rock: ...Fabiola. Rock: Listen. Garcia-kun... Rock: intends to get them involved in this.
Rock: But it isn't enough. Rock: In order to bring your confused princess back to her senses... Rock: we need something more.
17
Soldier: Major. Solider: I understand the situation from what you just said, but...
Caxton: That's right. Caxton: We have to pull off Operation "China Pit" at the same time. Caxton: There's pretty much no chance she'll give up on her pursuit. Caxton: That's why she's a major factor in the changing of our plans.
Soldier: She's pursuing us alone and was able to survive under that much gunfire without any kind of protection. Soldier: She's too uncertain a factor. Are we changing our plan or making ourselves powerless? Soldier2: Hey, stop!
Soldier2: ...Shane.
18
Caxton: It may have turned out horribly for him... Caxton: But... Caxton: We have always fought for the sake of justice and we always will. Caxton: So...
Caxton: We will this time, too. Caxton: That's all this is.
Soldier2: Let's do this, Soldier2: Shane.
Fabiola: Like hell we can do that! Fabiola: Are you serious?
Rock: Of course I am. Rock: If you have a better idea that isn't just pure optimism, I'd love to hear it.
19
Fabiola: This isn't magic or anything. Fabiola: One mistake and people die!
Rock: What about the reverse, little girl? Rock: What happens if we don't bet anything?
Rock: Let's get back to the point. Rock: You two know her a hell of a lot better than I do.
Rock: If you're going to put on a play, the ones on the stage'll be you two.
20
Fabiola: You... Fabiola: anticipated things this far ahead...?
Rock: Painting out everything that isn't based on luck is an established tactic. Rock: Doing so fills in all the gaps. Rock: And then when all that's left is luck... Rock: you can make the ultimate bet.
Announcer: We truly thank you for flying... Announcer: with Bangkok Airways.
Announcer: This flight will be arriving at Siem Reap International Airport via Suvarnabhumi at 2:30 PM...
21
Woman: Hey, you. Woman: You really stink.
Woman: I know the foxes are waiting for you... Woman: but did you not even have time to take a shower?
22
Woman: It's lucky you got through the gate without incident. Woman: You were warned ahead of time, but...
Woman: if you get violent, things will get bad. Woman: They're going to reach their destination within 36 hours, so be careful.
Woman: I'll arrange a car for you from a low security area and I'd like for you to take me up to the police cordon. The coordinates are...
Roberta: ...Who are you? Roberta: What are you plotting? Roberta: Are you one of America's pawns or...
23
Woman: Shut the fuck up. Woman: None of that matters. Woman: Just shut up and listen, bitch.
Woman: You prey is the foxes, right? Woman: If you make a mistake against people as competent as them, they'll get away. Woman: I'm well aware that you're crazy... Woman: but you're even more broken than I thought. You're not even worth being a volunteer.
Roberta: I thank you for what you've done for me, gringo.
Woman: It's most admirable... Woman: of you to say that. Roberta: As long as you let me enjoy my hunt, I don't mind at all.
Woman: Yes. Woman: I'll let you enjoy it. Roberta: In that case...
24
Woman: Once the hunt is over... Woman: I'll kill you painlessly.

After translating this, I can see why no one else has been keeping up with it. This is a really hard series to translate.
Chapter 72
01
Text at the top: The serialization has started again!! It's heading straight to the climax!!!
Benny: That was well done.
Benny: Permissions to pass through the rivers, Benny: permissions to operate in the three neighboring countries, Benny: permission to operate as an NGO, and press cards.
Benny: Did the Church of Violence prepare all this? Dutch: Half them, half the NSA. Dutch: Otherwise we couldn't have gotten all this in such a short time.
02
Benny: It's only for a certain amount of time... Benny: We don't have time, Dutch. Once we cross the border, we need to get all the way to Laos while it's dark. Benny: The GPS and echo sounder are our last ray of hope. We simply can't go that fast.
Benny: There are a lot of places where the water line and the measurement data don't match up. Benny: It's like we're groping along inside a grave or something. Benny: I'm looking for the latest measurement data now. Benny: It's from a civilian mining company, so it should be mostly right.
Dutch: I don't like this. Dutch: From what Rock said, that maid is chasing after our payload even now. Dutch: And with the effort and stubbornness I've seen from her, I want nothing to do with this.
Benny: Would you rather have refused? Dutch: I already refused. Dutch: But these are special circumstances.
03
Dutch: Right after Rock took in the that problem... Dutch: I got a phone call from Mister Chang. Dutch: He wanted to know for sure when Rock would become part of Iho Dianying Gongsi's business.
Benny: Our direct client is the NSA. Benny: The pay's excellent and we're indebted to him, right? Dutch: Of course. Dutch: I gotta hand it to Chang-san. If it wasn't for his talk, I wouldn't've agreed to this.
Dutch: Just thinking about the fact that that "Cyberdyne Systems-made" maid is heading here makes me wanna piss my pants. Dutch: We have to protect ourselves, but...
Dutch: With how... Dutch: Revy is...
04
Revy: God damn it. Revy: I just opened my wound a little farther again.
Revy: Fabiola, pass the Excedrin!
Revy: This sucks. Revy: The doc says that in another 2 weeks these'll be useless.
Revy: How could Anego use up everything we had in stock? Revy: When that damn four eyes gets here all we can do is have a fucking chat. Fabiola: You'll get in trouble if you keep calling her that. Fabiola: What does P-R-O-V-I-D-E mean?
05
Revy: Oh, provide? Revy: It means to give or get people what they want. Revy: I don't know if the spelling's right though. I quit school partway through middle school.
Revy: So you've studied this far, huh? Revy: You sure are enthusiastic about this.
Fabiola: Thanks to this... Fabiola: I can recognize your jokes you won't quit telling.
Revy: Odd. Revy: You seem different. Fabiola: In what way?
Revy: There's nothing wrong with it. Revy: You've stepped back. Revy: You change like that once you've shot someone.
06
Revy: Fabiola, there's... Revy: one more thing I need to talk to you about before we begin. Revy: It's about that young master of yours.
Rock: Garcia-kun. Rock: They'll be getting on the boat soon.
Rock: If you meet them, you're gonna have to settle this. Rock: But... Rock: You alone can give this a peaceful ending.
Garcia: That's why... Garcia: you called me.
07
Garcia: Isn't it? Garcia: Senor Rock.
Rock: That's right. Rock: I don't want anyone else to die.
Rock: I... Rock: I failed to settle this in the city. Rock: But... Rock: You're alive and she's still alive.
Rock: I've reconsidered it and decided that the battle isn't over. Rock: I'm going to make a pinpoint bet and make sure I win. Rock: That's the best ending... Rock: for this battle.
08
Rock: I won't miss this time. Rock: You're... Rock: the golden key.
Revy: I'm... Revy: not like that idiot Rock. Revy: I don't think that young master of yours can do anything. Revy: So... Revy: if we run into any trouble, you're our final hope.
09
Fabiola: It's not me. Fabiola: The only one who can do anything now... Fabiola: is him.
Revy: What passes as reason here isn't logic or love. Revy: It's the dark round hole left by a 9mm.
Fabiola: You think that... Fabiola: that can help in this situation? Revy: And if I do? Revy: Should I have brought along a "Louisville Slugger"?
10
Fabiola: ...No. Fabiola: You really... Fabiola: don't understand.
Fabiola: First of all. Fabiola: In this situation... Fabiola: a gun isn't going to work against the head maid. Even if you're here.
Fabiola: And second of all. Fabiola: You and I... Fabiola: aren't looking at the same thing.
11
Revy: I think I know what you're trying to say, and it's ridiculous. Revy: Whether you kill people or not... Revy: we're just dogs in the ditch.
Fabiola: ...I know that. I'm not the one who's changed. Fabiola: It's my young master who's changed.
Revy: Hmph. Revy: The young master again.
Revy: It's always about him. Revy: He's one hell of a kid. Revy: He was born into a harem. It's like he's become history's greatest pimp, isn't it?
12
Fabiola: ...Ah, fine. I get it. Fabiola: I'm not gonna get anywhere like this. Fabiola: Talking to you is useless.
Revy: Don't say that, kid. Revy: Do you see the world as a field of flowers even though you were raised in a dump?
Revy: You're free to call that young master of yours Jehovah or whatever you want... Revy: but if you think he's gonna magically work all this out, you're quite mistaken.
13
Fabiola: ...That may be. Fabiola: Okay, I'm done talking.
Fabiola: I thought it might be useful... Fabiola: but your just an idiot after all.
Revy: Wait a second... Revy: What the fuck are you-
14
Fabiola: What's wrong with calling an idiot an idiot, idiot. Fabiola: You're an idiot through and through. Fabiola: It didn't get me anywhere, but in the end I got to talk seriously with you.
15
Fabiola: I'm not the one who sees the world as a field of flowers. Fabiola: Isn't it... Fabiola: actually you?
Fabiola: You think you alone were driven out of the field of flowers... Fabiola: so you're envious of anything and everyone. Fabiola: What I wanted to say... Fabiola: was that that is the difference between us.
16
Fabiola: I don't think of this world as a field of flowers or as a shitty cesspool. Fabiola: This world is gray like a rat. Fabiola: It's a somehow vague gray world that's neither good nor evil.
Fabiola: I know why you speak so badly... Fabiola: of my young master.
Fabiola: And I'll tell you why. Fabiola: You can't accept that people like him exist in this world. Fabiola: You can't accept that there are people who don't act completely out of self-interest. Who put their lives on the line for someone else.
Fabiola: And that's because... Fabiola: It would make it a lie. Fabiola: It would make this shitty cesspool you say the world is a lie.
17
Fabiola: And, y'know... Fabiola: I've seen tons of people who think of us as no more than the relatives of pigs.
Fabiola: It's horrible and I've thought of killing them time and time again. Fabiola: But if you retaliate in the same way, the cesspool will just overflow with shit. Revy: Is that so? I don't care.
Revy: Whatever.
Revy: Then just live a pure, poor, proper life. Revy: Then when you finally bite it in your bed in the pig pen, you might find heaven. Revy: But then, the day you find heaven might be surprisingly close.
18
Revy: The sole reason I was lookin' after you just disappeared. Revy: Don't let the head maid kill you and that young master of yours, Revy: chikita.
Fabiola: ...There's only a small difference between you and me. Fabiola: It's just that we happened to meet different people. Fabiola: If you had...
Revy: Discussing those "ifs" is a waste of time. Revy: What happens in your life happens. Revy: All of that has nothing to do with this anymore.
Fabiola: You often make that smile... Fabiola: that makes you look like a fool. Fabiola: Have you ever looked at that smile in a mirror?
19
Fabiola: That smile of yours... Fabiola: is just like... Fabiola: the esqueletos from the "Día de Muertos".
Revy: ....Ha ha. Revy: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Revy: Yeah, that's right. Revy: You figured it out, little girl. Revy: We come from a far off land of the dead.
20
Revy: We came from the depths of a dark crypt bearing guns. Revy: We did, your head maid did, those soldiers did, and eeeeeeveryone in this town did. Revy: So, little girl... Revy: dedicate the marigold and tequila to us.
Revy: If you do... Revy: a pitiful little girl like you who's going to die in this end of Asia... Revy: will at least get some chocolate dedicated to her. Revy: Kah ha ha ha ha.
Benny: Look, Dutch. Dutch: Yeah, they sure are a punctual lot. Dutch: Switch with me; I'll go help Revy.
21
Soldier: Begin boarding!
Caxton: So you're the captain? Caxton: I'm the leader of the Caxton Group. We're counting on you for this journey. Dutch: I'm Dutch. I've been informed of the situation. Welcome to the Lagoon.
Caxton: An Elco type? Caxton: This really is an antique. Dutch: We've got water jet equipment loaded and the deck has been replaced with steel plates.
Dutch: Also, you can think of the inside as a completely different thing. Dutch: At least, well... Dutch: Even with everyone here I don't think we'll have to row or anything. Caxton: I see.
22
Benny: I know you're all tired, but we don't have enough cabins for all of you. Benny: One group's gonna have to take the engine room and you'll have to take turns sleeping. Caxton: Understood. I'll pass that along.
Caxton: I got the captain's explanation... Caxton: but can we really travel the rivers at night?
Benny: We've checked out the depth, so it's all dependent on how big the waves are. Benny: And well... Benny: He's used to the terrain in this area and, with this boat, we'll be fine.
Caxton: He's used to it? Benny: He's a Vietnam vet. He used to be on your side. Benny: Well, I'll be heading back to my room now. Have a pleasant cruise.
Caxton: A Nam vet, huh? What a coincidence. I am, too. Caxton: What unit were you in?
Dutch: I honed my skills in the fourth military district in the BWN TF116. Caxton: You're pretty young, though. Dutch: I lied about my age when I enlisted.
23
Caxton: The BWN really saved us. That's most admirable. Caxton: Did you take part in Operation Slingshot? Dutch: Yeah.
Caxton: I was in LARP at the time, but we would often use you all to taxi us around. Caxton: If you were in TF116, you would've been in Operation Crimson Tide, right?
Dutch: Yeah. Dutch: Taking you guys on and getting you to the contested land was terrifying. Dutch: I never thought I'd be heading for the Mekong delta by boat again. Caxton: That's my line, captain.
Dutch: And this time, it's not in a swift boat but an ocean-going torpedo boat. Dutch: This is completely insane. Caxton: Ha ha ha. Caxton: Don't let your "mom and dad" cut off "DR".
Dutch: What?
Caxton: ...You don't get it? Caxton: Well, don't worry about it. Caxton: It's just our slang.
24
Rock: Are you in the middle of something, Dutch? Dutch: No. Dutch: I'm just being bothered by how much our guest likes to talk.
Rock: That's just perfect, Rock: Mister Caxton.
Rock: We have another guest onboard tonight. Rock: And that guest would like to speak with you. Rock: You don't need to worry. Rock: He's just a kid.

Page 1 1 : El sabueso. / Je te l’ai déjà dit, n’essayes pas de jouer au plus fin avec moi. 2 : … Pas confiance ? Ahah… / Tu as raison, d’être toujours sur tes gardes. Mais…
Si je voulais te jouer un tour, j’aurais tout le temps nécessaire de le faire, le temps d’atteindre le quartier général. Ce serait complètement stupide d’essayer maintenant. / Et puis si tu veux obtenir la tête des Américains, tu dois être prêt à prendre quelques risques, non ?
Alors que décides-tu ? … Ou plutôt… / Qu’est-ce que tu veux faire ?
Page 2 Ne joue pas avec moi. Ici c’est moi le maître.
… Tu disais que étais mon chien. Alors comme un bon chien à son maî-maître…
Tire la langue.
Page 3 … Ah,
MMM…
Hnn… / Ah,
Ah…
Ha… AH…
Page 4 … Attends, ne m’arrache pas les vêtements… Je ne veux pas affronter les Américains nue… Je peux… retirer mes bas ?
1 : … A moins que tu préfères le faire toi-même ? 2 : … Ta gueule. Désolé de te dire ça, mais je ne te fais pas encore entièrement confiance. Fais-le toi-même.
… Ha… Haha. Tu es vraiment sur tes gardes… C’est une bonne chose…
Dans ce cas, je vais les retirer en douceur… Je ne veux pas être descendue à cause d’un malentendu.
Pas assez / Haha… C’était pas suffisant. Tu aurais être plus prudent. Bien plus prudent.
Tu aurais dû savoir et comprendre… qu’un clébard qui quitte son maître, ne reviens jamais en remuant la queue. / Tu.. savais pas ça ?
Page 8 Tu n’as pas tort. Je m’allie à toi… / ce serait un jeu d’enfant de finir les Fox. Tout n’était pas faux dans ce que je t’ai dit tout à l’heure. /Après tout, ça aurait été plus simple de t’utiliser et de te trahir ensuite.
Page 9 Mais je ne m’allierai… jamais à toi
Tu sais pourquoi ?
C’est parce que…/ les Fox et toi…
Servez tous les deux le même maître. / Ces mots traîtres que vous appelez idéaux, principes. Je ne servirai plus jamais ce maître-là. Une seule personne sur Terre a le droit de me prendre en laisse.
… Garcia… Fernando Lovelace. C’est le maître que j’ai choisi. / Le seul digne d’être mon maître, le seul pour qui je traverserais la boue et la merde, pour donner ma vie.
C’est uniquement pour lui que je pourchasse ma proie. Et… comme un chien à la poursuite de sa proie, je la déchiquetterai en mille morceaux !
Tu… n’es plus un chien, … Tu es… un loup. / Un lobo descarriada enragé* !
*Loup solitaire

Arrête, arrête.
Roberta.
Roberta, arrête, arrête.
Je t’en supplie, ne fais pas ça, ne fais pas ça, ne fais pas ça, ne fais pas ça…
Je vous en prie… s’il vous plaît… … ne me regardez pas…
Page 15 Jeune maître !
Non. Non.
Tu ne dois plus. Non. Non. Non.
Jeune maître ! / Que dois-je faire ? Jeune maître, jeune maître !
Est-ce … la fin que tu souhaitais ?
Page 16 Ne devais-tu pas me surveiller, pour empêcher qu’une telle chose ne se produise ?
Quand tu m’as tué, / il te restait pourtant une partie de ta conscience.
………….. (verticalement) ………….. (verticalement) / Combien de temps… Combien de temps comptes-tu me hanter ?
Moi, te hanter. Tu te trompes. C’est simplement toi qui n’arrive pas à oublier. Page 17 Cela fait maintenant sept ans que tu as attaqué la branche de Daisho Electric située à Magdalena*, kidnappé deux ingénieurs japonais qui y travaillaient / et que tu les as tués. Avant de m’exécuter, tu as déchiré la photo de ma famille que j’avais sur moi.
Pour toi il ne s’agit probablement pas d’un évènement marquant. Pourtant cela est resté ancré en toi, une simple petite cicatrice parmi tant d’autres.
A cause de ta jeunesse et de ton manque d’expérience tu n’as pas réalisé, combien ces cicatrices que tu ne ressentais pas en période de guerre,
Avaient suppuré et pourri, pour te ronger pendant ces temps de paix.
*Province de Colombie, qui est l’un des 32 départements du pays.
Page 18 Ce garçon était ton sauveur. Si tu étais restée à ses côtés, tes cicatrices auraient probablement guéries avec le temps. Cependant… / tu t’es toi-même détournée de cette chance offerte.
… Alors, / que dois-je faire pour trouver le pardon ? Et si ce n’est pas possible, si je ne peux jamais obtenir le pardon, / Je n’ai… je n’ai alors plus le droit de vivre une vie paisible à l’hacienda ?
Tout est de ta faute ! / Si c’est toi qui me hantes… je ne peux pas oublier ! / Je ne peux pas oublier !
Tu es même allé jusqu’à utiliser le jeune maître pour me hanter ! Et maintenant il est…
Il est … / …………….. (verticalement) …………… (verticalement) / ah, j’ai compris.
Page 19 Ah, / je m’inquiétais pour rien. / Hahaha.
Heheh. Oui… c’est bien ça. Tu es allé jusqu’à me monter une illusion comme celle-là… / tu veux vraiment me tuer en me faisant souffrir ?
C’est évident. Il est impossible que le jeune maître se trouve ici. Le jeune maître attend à l’hacienda que je revienne avec la tête des Grey Fox.
Moi non plus, je n’ai plus besoin de faire illusion en cachant mon véritable visage. / Même si le maître ne reviendra pas…
Le jeune maître sourira à nouveau. C’est certain. Tout redeviendra comme avant.
Pourtant…
Penser que tu oserais me montrer le jeune maître dans un tel état. / La dernière personne au monde que je souhaitais voir dans un pareil. Je ne te le pardonnerai pas.
Page 20 …………… (verticalement) / Ce garçon est bien réel. Il s’inquiétait à ton sujet, et est venu jusqu’ici pour te retrouver. Tu le sais mieux que personne, c’est quelque chose qu’il ferait.
1 : Quelque chose que le Garcia Fernando Lovelace, le garçon que tu aimes fer… 2 : Ahahahaha. Ferme-la.
Rien n’est vrai. / il n’y a personne ici. Ni toi, ni le jeune maître.
Et je vais le prouver / tout de suite.

… Il semble que je n’aurai pas le temps… / de me pencher sur la question.
Page 2 C’est toujours la même rengaine pour des gens comme nous.
Avec les vies que nous menons, / nous passons sans cesse à côté de ce qui est important.
Page 3 Boss. C’est le Jefe au téléphone.
…Oui, bonjour ? Jefe Pastoria, les informations sont exactes. Oui, les renforts venus de Colombie sont tous regroupés ici.
Page 4 Les enjeux sont énormes, Abrego. / Si tu échoues ici, les Gringos viendront me demander des explications / et je finirai probablement comme Pablo. Tu en es conscient, hein ?
Abrego : Bien sûr, / Jefe. Jefe : Alors, prouve-moi que ta loyauté est sincère.
Ecoute-bien, / ne touche pas aux Américanos,
ni aux Chinos d’ailleurs.
Ramène-moi simplement la tête de cette salope, / rien d’autre.
Page 5 Bien reçu Jefe, mais… / au sujet des renforts, eh bien… on peut leur faire confiance ?
Il s’agit de l’élite de la brigade SMASAS des FARC. Leur chef, Alberto Camarasa est aussi leur conseiller. / En plus c’est un membre des forces spéciales de la marine cubaine. Chacun d’entre eux est épuisé par les insomnies causées par les cauchemars dans lesquels apparaît cette salope. Et tous veulent se la farcir eux-mêmes.
……… (verticalement) …………… (verticalement) / Ecoute-bien Abrego. Je ne leur ai rien dit à propos des Américanos.
Abrego : Quoi ? Jefe : Mets-toi à ma place. / J’essaie de maintenir le statu-co ici.
La possibilité qu’ils descendent quelques gringos dans le feu de l’action est toujours présente. / Si jamais cela devait arriver, alors c’en serait fini de mon business ici.
Si jamais les évènements prennent cette tournure….
Page 6 Occupe-toi d’eux, / de manière à ce qu’aucun d’entre d’eux ne revienne jouer les chiens enragés au pays. Voici ta vraie mission.
………... (verticalement) …………. (verticalement) Je ne vous décevrai pas, / Jefe.
Yo ! / ça roule, Leroy ? / Ton bureau est sale comme jamais. Paye-toi une bonne ou un truc dans l’genre… J’ai appris que tu nous as appelés y’a un p’tit moment, alors…
Page 7 Arrête ton cinéma, Revy. Comme si t’en avais quelque chose à foutre de comment est mon bureau ou si tout roule bien pour moi ?
Tu me cherchais, n’est-ce pas ? Des trucs à demander à propos de choses et d’autres, hein ? / J’ai tort ?
…………………. (verticalement). / Ça n’a rien de personnel, mais… je cherchais à t’éviter parce que… / je suis enfoncé dans ce merdier jusqu’au cou.
Mais tout est fini maintenant. / Tu es venue me poser des questions sur cette enfoirée de chienne enragée, cette salope vénézuélienne détraquée. / Pas vrai ? Par où tu veux que je commence ? Qu’est-ce que tu veux savoir ? Hein ? Allez, j’te dirai tout, bordel de merde.
Hé. / Une seconde Leroy. Tout c’que tu dis est vrai, mais, qu’est-ce qui s’est passé ? Pourquoi tu veux soudainement tout cracher ?
Page 8 C’qu’i’ s’est passé ? J’vais te dire ce qu’i’ s’est passé ! / Ecoute bien, Revy ! Tu sais c’que cette salope a fait ? Elle s’est tirée sans me payer la moitié de ce qu’elle me devait !!
Page 9 Caxton, c’est moi, Will !
Mauvaises nouvelles, d’après ce que j’entends, / Will.
… je vais envoyer quelques hommes vérifier les alentours. Il se trame quelque chose.
… tu avais raison. / Je ne sais pas qui il s’agit, mais… quelqu’un essaie d’interférer dans notre mission.
Page 10 C’est de la drogue, / on cherche à nous piéger ?
Je ne sais pas. Il y avait des parasites sur la ligne, nous étions probablement sur écoute. / En plus nous avons constaté que quelqu’un fouinait près de notre point de rendez-vous.
L’ennemi est parfaitement au courant de notre mission. / C’est pourquoi je suis venu en personne. Tenez.
Ça vient du général de brigade Wilder et de Disneyland East*. / Directive de sécurité 115, l’ « opération Chinabit » continuera comme prévu. Cette directive contient toutes les dernières évolutions de la situation sur le terrain, et quelques modifications concernant le plan initial. Mais malheureusement, le plan peut changer à tout moment suivant les évolutions de la situation.
Entrez !
-Sergent-chef Young Blood et sergent Burrows, / de retour de notre mission de reconnaissance, Sir ! - Au rapport
*Nom donné en interne au Pentagone.
Page 11 Les routes menant à Charkuwan et Mantai street ont été bloquées. / Mais les soi-disant travaux ne semblent être qu’une façade. De plus tous les ouvriers avaient des renflements suspicieux sous leur épaule gauche.
A noter également la disparition des magasins depuis la première fois que nous sommes arrivés ici. / Les commerçants du coin ont le don pour flairer les ennuis.
Soldat : Nous avons recensé neuf postes de guet et quatre personnes nous ayant pris en filature à 200 yards de l’immeuble environ. Et mon sixième sens me dit, / que des gens sont idéalement embusqués dans un endroit rêvé pour les snipers. Chef : On peut être quasiment sûr que l’ennemi lit nos mouvements. / Contacte nos planques sûres Malibu et Montana via RCP*.
Roger. / Code 10-34** ?
Négatif. / Possibilité d’une opération de nettoyage des rues, gardez la liaison radio et restez en position jusqu’à nouvel ordre. Encerclez l’ennemi et détruisez-le avec l’aide des forces déjà présentes.
*RCP : Radio de Communication Mobile **Besoin d’assistance.
Page 12 Will / il serait préférable que tu décampes avant que les balles ne commencent à voler.
Ça va…/… chauffer dans pas longtemps.
Un homme sort seul. / C’est l’homme de liaison de la NSA qui est entré tout à l’heure.
Vous allez le tuer, / M. Brent ?
Page 13 Laissons-le partir. / Le tuer ne fait pas partie de notre mission.
Lunette-kun : En parlant de mission, nos ordres ne sont-ils pas un peu étranges cette fois ? CowBoy-kun : Ouais. / J’aurais jamais pensé être embauché pour servir de bouclier.
Elle a dit qu’elle utiliserait sa propre lance, ou un truc dans le genre. / Elle a sûrement ses raisons pour vouloir faire le travail elle-même. Au final je n’ai pris aucun de mes hommes.
1 : Les types qu’on a envoyés…/ ne sont que des voyous qu’on a ramassés dans la rue. 2 : ça paraît logique.
On n’a pas cherché à creuser trop loin sur les cibles, / mais on voit au premier coup, d’œil qu’ils sont au moins du niveau des Delta Force ou des Bérets Verts. L’équipe donnant l’assaut va se faire massacrer.
Page 14 C’est comme ça que ça marche, c’est tout, / Filano.
Cependant, je ne peux pas les laisser se faire buter instantanément. En fait c’est plutôt difficile de dénicher types normaux comme eux.
C’est pourquoi je leur ai préparé un plan… / même si je n’ai pas inclus la possibilité de se sauver dedans. Ils le réaliseront probablement juste avant de se faire descendre.
Eh bien, il y a une raison qui fait que ce sont eux qui vont se faire descendre et pas nous. Une raison du tonnerre. Magnifique.
Il reste encore un peu de temps avant que le feu d’artifice ne commence… / et j’ai apporté ma télé portable. Ils passe Speed Racer* sur la 27. Tu veux regarder avec moi ?
*Speed Racer : manga japonais créé en 1966 par Tatsuo Yoshida, sur le sujet des compétitions automobiles.
Page 15 Au Inn sur Charkuwan Street ? Tu veux dire que c’est là qu’est Roberta ?!
Ok, / notre destination est le Tokaina Hotel.
Combien de temps ça prendra, / pour aller là-bas ?! Arrête de nous les briser Chiquita.
Apprends à la fermer, si tu veux que j’t’appelle Hombre*. / Ça sent de plus en plus mauvais. Bren la Mort Noire est aussi sur le coup.
Rock : Je n’ai jamais entendu parlé de lui auparavant. Revy : C’est normal. / C’est l’chef d’une importante organisation d’assassins. Tu crois pas qu’il va s’exhiber comme ça ! Il a un bureau ici, mais il aime pas y travailler. Soi-disant parce que c’est dur de partager les bénéfices ou ce genre de trucs. / D’après Leroy, l’un de ses hommes travaille comme allié provisoire de cette salope de binoclarde… Hé gare-toi là.
*Hombre : Western américain de 1967 de Martin Ritt, avec Paul Newman dans le rôle principal.
Page 16 Rock : Revy, / où est-ce que tu vas ? Revy : ça pourrait vite devenir l’Enfer. Je pensais donc ramener un peu de sang chaud. / J’sais pas si elle s’ra là, mais ça vaut le coup d’essayer !
Tu connais quelqu’un à qui tu peux faire confiance ?
Si je connais. Ah ! J’espère que tu te fous d’ma gueule. / Elle est libre et en plus elle s’ennuie à mourir !
Page 17 ça fait un moment que le téléphone sonne. / Sawyer, Rotton, pourquoi vous ne répondez pas ?
Ça va, ça va. J’arrive !
Vraiment vous deux. / Allô, c’est qui à l’appareil ?
Yo Shenhua ! / T’es encore en vie, hein ? Respect. J’ai du travail pour toi. Allez sors et tu pourras tuer autant de gens que tu voudras.
…………. (verticalement). Comment tu connais ce numéro ?
Revy : Ah, pour ça. J’ai demandé à Chang. J’ai du boulot, tu vois. Fille : Tu sais, j’étais encore allongée sur un lit d’hôpital la semaine dernière ! / Si c’est pour te buter, je le ferai gratuitement.
Page 18 Je t’ai jamais tiré dessus, t’as la mémoire courte ? C’était cette salope de sœur. Tu peux régler ça avec elle si tu veux, mais c’est pas à moi qu’il faut t’en prendre, abrutie. / Hé, au passage…
Revy : T’as pas oublié que t’as failli me réduire en shish kebab la dernière fois, hein ? Fille : j’aurais au moins dû faire ta langue, salope.
Fille : … Laisse tomber je ne suis pas douée ce genre de combat. / Qui t’emploie ? Toi-même, ou ton patron ? Revy : Aucun des deux. Un riche brésilien.
Fille : Je dis oui à tout ce qu’aime Chan Da Ge. Revy : T’inquiète. Je sais que t’as trop de chatte pour faire un truc comme ça. Fille : Combien ? Revy : Hé ! Elle est de la partie. Combien tu donnes ?
Fille : Autant que nécessaire… Garçon : Aïe !
Revy : 6000 dollars. Ça te va ? Fille : Va voir ailleurs, abrutie.
Une chatte comme toi ne peux pas encore jouer les difficiles. / Allez, tout ce que tu as à faire c’est découper quelques raclures. C’est pas tous les jours qu’on te file 6000 dollars pour ramasser les patates.
Page 19 … Ta gueule espèce de débile mentale. Les gens et les patates sont deux choses différentes. 7500.
Alors, choux ou poisson. Laisse tomber. / 6500.
Qui veut du travail ? Ah… y’en a deux en plus. / 6500 chacun, ok ?
Revy : TU te portes garant de ces deux-là, non ? Alors c’est d’accord. / Soyez à Charkuwan Street dans dix minutes. Fille : 10 minutes ? Et qui va payer pour le tuk-tuk* ?!
…C’est l’heure.
« Lance détraquée » vous me recevez ? / Ici « maman de céréales ».
*tuk-tuk : pousse-pousse automatisé à trois roues.
Page 20 Le show peut commencer. Ouvrez le bal.
Bien reçu. / C’est parti !
Page 21 La cible est Rosarita Cisneros. / Ancienne complice du commandant Marulanda, qui est devenu un réactionnaire.
Ne la sous-estimez parce que c’est une femme. / Elle était surnommée autrefois la chienne sanguinaire de Florencia.
Et même au pays, elle considérée comme un véritable monstre, une sorte de deuxième Jackal le Carlos*. / Toutes les techniques que vous connaissez pour tuer, elle les connaît, Et elle est meilleure que vous dans ce domaine.
Ne la considérez pas un seul instant comme une humaine. / C’est une bête solitaire féroce, dévorant tout sur son passage.
*Carlos : célèbre ville vénézuélienne, qui fut un bastion des révolutionnaires.
Page 22-23 Tu dois faire marche arrière tout de suite. / Un pas de plus, et…
… et tu seras incapable de redevenir la Roberta de la famille Lovelace que Garcia aimait. / tu deviendras un chien enragé. N’étanchant ta soif que par le sang. Consumé par ta raison d’être.
Le maître et le jeune maître souhaitaient du fond du cœur que tu aies une seconde chance dans la vie… une chance d’être heureuse.
Réfléchis bien. / Le défunt maître s’inquiétait que tu retombes à nouveau dans cet Enfer sanguinaire, tout autant qu’il s’inquiétait de la sécurité de son propre fils.
Personne ne veut que tu te venges. / Et pourtant, tu…
Les péchés ne peuvent être expiés que par le sang. / C’est la seule et unique façon possible. En conséquence…
Je tuerai, tuerai et tuerai. / Je leur ferai regretter d’être venus au monde.
Page 24 Major Caxton ! / Les équipes Bravo et Charlie sont déjà en route. Code Bleu ! Rapport de la situation au point D4 ! Une force non-identifiée est en approche !
Tout le monde en position, Sir ! Code bleu ! C’est enfin l’heure, / messieurs.
Je sais que ça vous démangeait de passer à l’action, après toutes patrouilles ennuyeuses à mourir, / mais on peut enfin se dégourdir maintenant. Vous avez tout, courage, techniques, capacités, talent… Vous êtes les meilleurs des meilleurs. / Je le sais mieux que personne et je suis fier de vous tous.
Commençons notre mission, messieurs. / Le temps est venu d’abattre l’ennemi et de sauver nos camarades. Afficher votre fierté, et Montrez-leur ce que ça signifie d’être les meilleurs !

Not quite sure how to romanise シェーン. Shen VS Sham VS Sam? I went with the last, since Sam's a more usual American name.
Edit: the things you learn... 'over and out' is wrong!

Blue lines are places I'm uncertain about
Formatting's a little different from what I usually do:
Line in bubble Line in sub-bubble
New whole bubble
Hopefully it's intuitive enough :/

…シェーン, ...Sam, あいつは——……いったい誰だ? Just--- ...who is that?
わからん。 I have no idea. 現状では、知る由もない。 I'm completely in the dark about the sitution.
損耗が出る前に、奴・を・と・に・か・く・振・リ・払・う・、それだけだ。 But we must definitely shake off the before we incur any casualties, that's all there is to it. Lit: before any casualties appear, we must definitely shake off that person, that's all.

私はそう思う。 That is what I think.

これが解けないって? You say you don't get this? どれ、見せてごらん。 Here, show it to me.
森の絵の中に、4つのものがあるんだって。 There are four things in this painting of a forest. でも、どう見ても森で狩リをしてるだけの絵なんだ。 But no matter how you look at it, it's just a painting of a hunt in a forest.
なるほど。 I see ふーん……どれどれ? Hmph... Lemme see?
ふうむ……一見しただけじゃ、確かにわからないな。 Hmmmm... It's true you wouldn't understand if you're only seeing it for the first time.
誰が持ってきたんだい、これは? Who did you get this from?
エミリオが自慢しに見せに来たんだ。 Emilio came over to show off to me, all proud and stuff. でも 4つなんて、あるわけないよ、あの子嘘ついたんだ。 But I don't get how there can possible four things in there. That kid must've been lying.
ガルシア、簡単に人をつきなどと言ってはならんよ。 Garcia, don't accuse someone of lying so quickly. ちゃんと解いたからこそ、自慢をしに見せに来たんだろう。 He must have found it to be so proud when he showed it to you, right?
そっちはただの白紙だよ、父さん。 That side's just plain paper, Father.
[Page 15]
なるほど。 I see. …君は、表からしか見てなかったんだな? ...You only looked at it superficially, right?
それじゃあ見つかるわけがない。 Then you would have never found it.
難しいものを解く時はね、こうやって…ほら。 When solving difficult problems, you do it like this... Look.
前からも後ろからも、角度を変えて見てみるのが大切なんだ。 Whether it's from the front or the back, it's important to look at it with different perspectives.
そうすると… If you do that... ここにライオソ、ここにミミズク、ここに天使—— Here's a lion, here's a horned owl, here's an angel-- ここに…ほら、何が見える? Here's... Look, what do you see?
あツ、 Ahh, キリスト様だ! It's Christ the Lord!
本当だ、でも…… That's true, but... なんでさっきはわからなかったんだろう? Why is it we couldn't point out anything just now, I wonder?
君は先入観でこの絵を見てたんだ。 You looked at this painting with preconceptions in place.
絵の向きに合わせるのが正しい見方だと、そう思い込んでいたんじゃないかね。 You thought that you were looking at the picture the right way up, weren't you?
[Page 16]
普通に眺めてする納得こともできる。 There are things that can be understood from an ordinary viewpoint. でも—— But--
正しく物事を見ようとしたら、実はこうして眺ぬてみないとわからない。 Truth is, you won't be able to judge what is right without scrutinising things this way.
だから、 That's why,
君はよ・く・考・え・て・——… You must think clearly---...
決・め・な・け・れ・ば・な・ら・な・い・よ・。 Before deciding what to do.
