sfx: vlan


p5
sfx: rah

sfx: splash splash

She shouldn't be able to walk with such a wound!

sfx: Hehe
I see...

The 10 Oz program is a transfert program.
sfx: vrrr
Maybe a 80 Oz buff program based on the 120 shooting program she used with the combo feature.
And as for the remaining 100 Oz, the knife...
sfx: pan pan pan


p6
All the things they're doing are quite useful to me, this way I can understand how the enemy forces are working.

What's this noise?!
!

sfx: bam

sfx: shrr shrr
Waaaaaaah!


p7
Aaaaaaah!!

Ah!


p8
sfx: vlouf

Did she get away...? Shoot.


p9
Who are you?!
What the...?!

Eh?!
I-I'm working for mister Kondou...


p10
Forced scan!

Not any illicit program... I see.
sfx: clac

He said he's part of Kondou's team, I'm going to check that up...


p11
Oz cards worth way more than that.


p12
sfx: wouf

sfx: Gnn gnn

... Empty?!

sfx: Tap

"Silver shoes" run!


p13
... Phew.
infos: {
run program: Silver shoes
cost: 10 Oz 2combo!
effect: boost pool 495960->495970
}

You managed to get out of the suit right on time and teleported, didn't you?!

I really got worried, you idiot...!


p14
sfx: Oh

Ah! I was worried about the card! Yes, the card is safe and sound!

He's not bleeding...! He doesn't have any Oz card?!

So he's not the puppet master!

You...
Don't turn around! If you do...


p15
If I turn around... I'll end up like her, right?

sfx: Ah!

N... No!
This wasn't me! Well...
I only said "her"!

Really... I didn't do anything. That was the sniper's doing.

... The same as earlier... Well...

What's with you?! Why do you want to kill me so bad?!
You don't have a card... You're not the puppet master, are you?!
Then why are you after me?!


p16
I see...

The puppet master is also in that school, with you and that sniper...
There are three Oz users...
I made a mistake...
I wasn't feeling well lately...

Hey! Where are you? Are you alright?

A girl's voice... I see... You were two.

So it really wasn't your doing... is that right?

I only picked up that card...! And still!


p17
Please leave me alone...

... If we're after you, it's because...
there is...


p18
Aahh...!

This wound is deep... Should I retreat? ... No.

sfx: splash
I might never get the opportunity to lay hands on two Oz cards ever again!


p19
No need to ready your weapons.

B... But! But mister Kondou said that it was probably a bloodthirsty criminal...

I'm gonna cut her throat.

p20
There is a murderer among Oz users.
... Huh?
My team from the Special Investigation Office and me were working on a case of misappropriation involving an important person.

Were you aware that there are some unwarranted expenses in project GAIA's management and research accounts?


p21
... I think we'd get along, what about dining together, face-to-face?


p22
That was unexpected. However...

Why? Although it's so beautiful to leave alone all the usual useless chitchat and to say it right on, why did I fail for the 362nd time?
sfx: hum
What do you think about the way your budget has been managed?

... I'm in the middle of my experiments. I will send you soon some report.

A bandage... in GAIA?
Another point...


p23
Have you received this order for the analysis of some illicit cards from the precinct?
I would have expected...

You're still asking me although I already answered you.

I'll send you my report soon... Then...
... As for that misappropriation case, though...


p24
it became a murder case. [ndt: the French version is kinda weird here, it says "I've moved toward that murder case", with a female agreement on moved (in some tenses, there is an agreement between subject and verb in French), but it doesn't make any sense to me...]


p25
This important person under our monitoring...
... was murdered in GAIA.

We just managed to lay hands on some part of the report.
Then, we learned that she was about to analyze that Oz card.
This money must have been used for the management of GAIA and for research. 400 billions yens.

400 billions...?!

At the Special Investigation Office, we think that she was killed and that her murderer got away with the card she had.


p26
Who was that "important person"?

The "Magician".

It's not true!!


p27
sfx: arg
?!

Ha ha ha... This is ridiculous. The Magician? That Magician? How could she be dead?! If that was the case...
Do you know something about that?

How could she be dead...
Yes, if she was dead...

what would happen to GAIA? If she died, we would need another magician, and...

?
?


p28
... You seem to know a lot... Who are you?

Why are you telling us all that?

RuRuRu

Run!!


p29
sfx: badam

sfx: vlan

... Tch... Dammit...
Whenever the jackpot increases... beep beep... and there you run away.

Nice to meet you, lame duck. [ndt: don't ask me why lame duck >>]
