Pachelbel single-handedly took custody of the criminals occupying the bank, but the Special 1st Division appeared, and killed all of the restrained criminals! Rebecca appears after returning from a secret investigation, while Canon and the others feel that the 1st Division’s actions were somewhat contradictory…

:::PAGE 1::: Megalomania Introduction
Right text: Police action in another world!
Merri: This is Merri // I was forced to give this explanation / It's rather annoying... // There is a race called “Ajin” in our world // They look like this / They have a history of being oppressed by humans // These are the people I have become indebted to / First, Canon
Canon: ~Tight...~
Merri: She is an officer of the Police Force's Special Second Branch // She is the child of a human and an Ajin, it seems. // When she gets mad, horns grow out of her head and her face looks like a melon / It's a little creepy... // This is Bachenbell-san / He is an officer in the same branch // For some reason, he's nice to Ajin / But his sunglasses are scary... / I hate them...
Box: What is the Special Second Branch?
Merri: A police...force...established...to deal...with Ajin...crime...
Card: Notes
Merri: ...it seems. // I don't get it. / ~Too hard...~ // Umm...how about that? // Is it okay?
Canon: Very good!
Bachenbell: Why are you making her do this?
Canon: At this rate, she'll become completely anti-social / I'm doing it in order to get her people skills up...
Bachenbell: Hah // That's harsh...
Bottom left text: (black box) The story so far (the rest) In a world where a created race called Ajin live...discrimination against Ajin by humans continues. Canon and Bachenbell, members of the Police Force's Special Second Division, rescued Merri, one of a rare breed of Ajin, from captivity and disrupted a mafia that participated in the slave trade...
Bottom text: The story continues on the next page!
:::PAGE 2::: voice: At the height of the golden age of genetic engineering... // Humans created something that resembled them
Right text (panel 1): The profound musings of a people created by humans!
Voice: We who are called Ajin... // at some point began to question why we serve humans...why we toil for them
:::PAGE 3::: Voice: A long time passed // It is true that slavery was abolished // But the fact that humans are on top did not change
Wrapped face: First, the sense of inferiority must be erased // The principle of equality was established after the East-South war // The day will come when that principle becomes reality
Pointy ears: I understand, Earl Little (TN: Fun fact! That was Malcom X's father's name. The author is playing up the racial clash by drawing on the history of African American rights) / But nothing will change if all we do is wait
:::PAGE 4::: Little: Kuku... / Only morons // like the forceful tactics you use // I don't think it'll work // Well, go ahead...I won't stop you // It'll be good if you rage to your heart's content // Good for the rights of Ajin // As well as their honor
:::PAGE 5::: Top text: A huge sensation! The second chapter in a new series of police action in another world!
Right text: Were humans the ones who distorted the world?

:::PAGE 6::: Lady: So, Officer / We wanted to go to the Retro Museum // But we got lost on the way...
Canon: The museum... / Let's see... // Just turn at that corner...
Guy: Did you know, Elizabeth / That at the museum, there are displays / relating to the history of the oppression of Ajin and the East-South War / Actually, Ajin originally...
Elizabeth: Wow, Jon, you know so much!
Canon: =Ah...= // =This isn't the place to be cuddling...=
:::PAGE 7::: Canon: Wha... / Sempai! / Please do not fabricate people's thoughts!
Bachenbell: Ah, you got me // But really // That was it // You were thinking something like that, right? / Canon
Canon: Umm...
Bachenbell: You're a sad girl / There isn't someone? // A guy like that for you
:::PAGE 8::: Canon: Well... / That is... // Whaat? // ~Taiyaki?~ (TN: Taiyaki is a fish-shaped cake made out of waffle batter that usually has red bean paste inside, although it can be found with other fillings)
:::PAGE 9::: Bachenbell: Sea urchin! // I wasn't able to conceal my suprise at the unexpected contents
Canon: I cannot conceal mine either...really...
Merri: Ah // Welcome back
Bachenbell: Hey // Want some? // What's up wit that?
Canon: It appears that she was traumatized by the watermelon last time
Bachenbell: Well... // This is all well and good, but...
:::PAGE 10::: Bachenbell: This has turned into her lair
Canon: When Carol comes back, she will be surprised for sure // Ah, by the way, I haven't seen Rebecca-san lately // Did something happen?
Bachenbell: Like I know
Merri: Carol? // Rebecca?
Canon: Well...Carol-san is on sick leave right now / Due to some horrible food poisoning...
Bachenbell: Hey! // Don't talk like it was my fault!
:::PAGE 11::: Canon: Please stop buying such weird things and bringing them here! // ~What in the world is this?~ // More and more junk continues to pile up...
Bachenbell: Shut it / Don't make fun of people's hobbies! // Things like this have lots of uses...
Coolridge: Hey
:::PAGE 12::: Coolridge: If you're so free, go patrol or... // They're not listening...
Bachenbell: Uwaaah // Cold! // I don't want to go patrolling in this blasted weather / Carol needs to hurry up and come back...
Canon: It sounds like you would force her to do all your work...
Bachenbell: Oh yeah // Mind if we duck in the bank for a sec?
Long ears: It's me // It's about time // Are you ready?
:::PAGE 14::: Box: Bank of East Side, Twenty First Street Branch
Bank guy: Ka...Kate-san // W-would you want to get dinner later...? / I made a reservation...
Kate: I'm a bit busy at the moment // Can we talk later?
Bank guy: Ah // Yeah... // It's hopeless // There's no way she'll go out with me...
:::PAGE 15::: Bachenbell: Ahhh / Why'd you do that? // There's no way I can wear this
Canon: Please forgi- / ubuu // This / is probably due to the taiyaki...
Bachenbell: Hmm?
Bank guys: Who are you guys? / Is she okay?
Bachenbell: Ah / Don't worry, she's just feeling a little off
Canon: Uhu...uuuu...nice to meet you, father...
Bachenbell: No... // She's totally out of it...

Open to anyone for scanlation purposes as long as proper credit is given. A scanlation of this series would be cool, and prompt me to put more time into it.
I stumbled across this series by accident, and wondered why there was no translation of scanlation. There are probably lots of mistakes; I worked on it piece by piece over several days. I will be working on this series, but I do not promise any sort of time line for translations to appear (the next chapter is cool, but even longer :P). Thanks for reading.

Canon: You cannot bribe an officer with money!
Leader: Ehh? // Then why did you take it?!
:::PAGE 5::: Thug: Dirty scumbag...
Leader: Who'd thought she'd be some kind of saint*. (TN: He actually says “Rakan”, which according to WWWJDIC is an “achiever of Nirvana”, but “saint” is more English appropriate IMHO)

Leader: Ah // Don't just throw it!

Chief C: No... // I was looking at her ears...and those marks under her eyes
Canon: Marks?
Chief C: She's an Izuna / probably
:::PAGE 12::: Izuna are a rare breed of Ajin that are traded for a high price // If something's almost extinct, people will pay a lot for it // I can take a guess as to what was happening // Those black suits were probably slave traders
