Panel 1
氷のミハイルにとって受難の日々が続いていた
Ice Mikhail's suffering continued every day.

Panel 2
先日マライヒにやられて捕まった彼はS国に拘留されていた。英国に帰ることができたが彼をむかえたS国の反応は冷たいものだった
Struck by and caught by Maraich the other day, he was held in detention in S-country. Although he was able to return to Britain, the response of S-country, which received him, was cold.

Panel 3
本来なら情報部によって処刑されるが良くても凍土地帯での強制労働をまぬがれない所だったがこれまでの功績によって厳重注意を受けるだけですんだのではあったが
By all rights even though he should have been executed by the information bureau he was placed into forced labor in a frozen area where he couldn't escape. Because of his distinguished service up to that point he only received a stern warning.

Panel 4
しかし上層部の彼に対する評価がいちじるしく下落したのは確かだった
However, it was clear that the his value to the upper divisions had declined considerably.

Panel 5
ガヤガヤガヤ
Gaya gaya gaya - Chatter chatter

Panel 1
そして今 なじみのクラブで気ばらしのために始めたポーカー(ミハイルの唯一の趣味)で彼はまたえらく落ちこまされていた
And now he fell into an awful slump again and began playing poker (Mikhail's only hobby) at a familiar club as a pastime.

ザワザワ

Panel 2
フラリと現われた老人に今まで一度も負けたことのないミハイルがこてんぱんに負かされていたのである
An old man strolled in and Mikhail, who hadn't been beaten once up until then, was suddenly beaten black and blue by him.

よし もうワンゲームだ
All right, one more game.

Panel 3
大佐ずいぶん負けがこんでるぞ。そろそろやめたらどうだ
Colonel, you've been losing a lot. How about stopping soon?

最後の勝負だ。カードをくばれ！
This is the last match. Deal the cards!

Panel 4
シャッシャッ

Panel 5
今までに負けた分と同額を賭けよう！これで取り戻してやる！

Wha!

Panel 2
なんだとふざけるな！きさまもしやいかさまを
Don't screw around! You must be cheating!

大佐 見苦しいぞ！
Colonel, that's unsightly!

Panel 3
こんな衆人監視の中でいかさまができると思うか！いさぎよく負けを認めろ！
How could I cheat with all of these observers?!  Accept your loss like a man!

くっ。。。
Kuh...

Panel 4
じじいついて来い！
Old man, come with me!

バッ
Ba - Bamf

おや どちらへ
Oh, where to?

Panel 5
わたしの家だ！現金の持ちあわせがないから家まで取りに来い！
My home! I don't have any money on hand so I'll take you to my home!

Panel 6
いいですとも
That's fine.

聞いたか？大佐金を持たずにやってたんだ
Did you hear? The Colonel came without money.

今まで負けたことがないからなあ
Because he hasn't lost before now.

Panel 1
コッコッ
Ko ko - Click click

Panel 2
ポーカーでわたしを負かしたのはきさまが初めてだ。さぞうれしいだろう！
You're the first to defeat me at poker. You must be happy!

コッコッ
Ko ko - Tap tap

Panel 3
だが調子にのるなよ。きさまが勝てたのはあくまでも偶然だ！まったく素人のまぐれ当たりにはつきあいきれんわ！
But don't get cocky. It's completely by chance that you were able to win! I can't stand dealing with a complete amateur getting a lucky break!

コッコッ
Ko ko - Tap tap

大佐ものは相談ですが
Colonel, I have something to discuss with you.

Panel 4
なにい？！
Whaaat?!

賭け金はいらないからかわりに頼みをきいてほしいのだ
I don't need the money, I'd rather you listen to my request.

Panel 5
なんだと
What is it?

Panel 6
バン！

Panel 1
パサッ

きっきさまデュモン！
Y, you're Dumont!

Panel 3
見知ってもらっていたとは光栄だな
It's an honor to make your acquaintance.

Panel 4
正気かきさま！共産圏諸国でもおたずね者になっているのを知らんわけではあるまい！
Are you sane?! You're even wanted in several communist countries!

クイクイ
Kui kui - Grab grab

Panel 5
お得意のダートはここだ
Your specialty darts are here.

ザラッ
Zara - Rustle

Panel 6
ぐっ？！
Guh?!

Panel 7
商売っ気を出さずに話を聞け。君のためにもなることだ
You should listen to what I have to say without being so business minded. For your sake.

なっなんだ！
Wh, what?!

12
Panel 1
ブルンブルン
Burun burun - Vroom vroom

Panel 3
開けろ
Open it.

はっ
Yes sir.

Panel 4
ビーン
Biin - Vween

Panel 5
発電機と。。。接続されているのは何だ？
A power generator... what is it connected to?

冷凍庫
A freezer.

Panel 6
中身はこのS国の隣のQ国から盗み出してきた五酸化化合物だ
Inside are 5 oxidation compounds that were stolen from S-country's neighbor, Q-country.

Panel 7
ごっ？！
Five?!

そーゆーおどろき方が趣味なのか？
Do you like surprises?

13
Panel 1
ごっ五酸化化合物というとQ国が開発したスーパー爆発物か！！
A, are those five oxidation compounds the super explosives Q-country developed?!!

Panel 2
その通りその中に入っているのは鶏の卵よりひとまわり小さいぐらいの化合物だがそれだけで大都市の一区画を吹き飛ばすほどの威力がある
Quite so. Although the compound is a bit smaller than a chicken egg there's enough power in it to blow away a large city.

Panel 3
ふや~~
Wow~~~

ただこの化合物はあつかいがむずかしい
But this compound is difficult to handle.

Panel 4
早い話が零下20度以上の外気にふれさせると爆発してしまうのだ。持ち運びにはどうしても強力な冷凍装置が必要だ
In short, if it touches open air that is above 20 degrees below zero it'll explode. It takes powerful refrigeration unit to transport it.

Panel 5
ふーむしかしそれがわたしとどんな関係がある
Hmm, but how is that related to me?

Panel 6
アメリカのさる組織に頼まれて盗み出したのだが部下がドジをやってQ国の秘密警察に追われるはめになってしまった。ここまではなんとか逃げてきたがアメリカまで運ぶにはどうしても飛行機に乗せなくてはならない
A certain American organization asked me to steal it but if my subordinates made a blunder and we ended up being chased by Q-country's secret police. Although we've escaped somehow thus far, to transport it to America we'll have to put it on a plane.

道理だな
That makes sense.

14
Panel 1
しかし今やこの国の空港はQ国の連中がしっかり見張っているのだ
But the people from Q-country are watching over the airports of this country now.

なんだと？！Q国秘密警察とは不可侵条約を結んでるんだぞ！
What?! We have a non-aggression pact with Q-country's secret police!

Panel 2
Q国も必死なのだ。外交問題に発展する危険を犯しても化合物を取り返そうとしているのだ
Q-country is desperate. They're trying to get back the compound even at the risk of creating a diplomatic problem.

う~~~む！
Hmm~~!

Panel 3
ごらんの通り発電機も冷凍庫もさほどかさばるものではないが と言ってトランクにつめて運べる大きさでもない
The power generator and freezer aren't as bulky as they look but they're too big to carry in a suitcase.

ビーン
Biin - Vween

Panel 4
しかし冷凍コンテナなどを使ったら一目でばれてしますしな。。。そこで思いだしたのが君だ
But if we use a freezing container we won't be exposed at a glance... Then I remembered you.

Panel 5
ちょっと待て。なんとなくわかってきたぞ
Wait a minute. I understand somehow.

Panel 6
君は自分の体温を自由に変えられるのだそうだな。ちょっと信じられないが零下30度以下にまで
I've heard you can change your body temperature at will. Up to 30 degrees below zero, although I don't quite believe it.

15
Panel 1
ふむ
Hmm.

Panel 2
パッ
Pa - Pop

Panel 3
中身は？
What's in this?

はっ？ソーダ水ですが。。。
Hah? Soda water...

Panel 4
カッ
Ka - Light

Panel 5
ヒヤーッ
Hiya~ - Cold~

おおっ？！
Ooh?!

Panel 7
カシャン
Kashan - Clatter

Panel 8
正確に言うと零下32度だ。ここまで体温を下げると外気が零下百度でも裸で生活できる
It's 32 degrees below zero, to be accurate. If I lower my body temperature that much I can even survive in the open air nude at a hundred below zero.

パン！
Pan! - Clap!

16
Panel 1
冷凍人間か。。。特異体質というより一種の超能力だな
A freezing human...? I'd call it a kind of psychic ability rather than an idiosyncrasy.

まあな
Ah well.

Panel 2
体の中までそんな低温になるんですか？血液や体内の水分が凍ってしまいそうなものですが
Does your temperature get so low inside of your body? Your blood and your inside fluids would probably freeze.

Panel 3
血のかわりに不凍液でも流れてるんだろう。自分でもどういう仕組みかよくわからんのだ
I have an antifreezing solution instead of blood. Even I don't understand what kind of structure it is.

Panel 4
で？つまりわたしにそのぶっそうな物を運ばせようというんだな
And? In short, you plan on having me carry that dangerous substance?

Panel 5
そうだ
化合物を飲みこんでもらってな
That's right.
You'll swallow the compound.

Panel 7
ゴーッ
Goo - Roooar

Panel 8
約束を忘れるなよ。アメリカの組織が化合物の組成を調べあげたらそのコピーをわたしによこすんだぞ
Don't forget the promise. When the American organization investigates the composition of the compounds you'll send a copy to me.

わかっている。それを上司に見せれば君も先日のミスを挽回できるわけだ
I understand. When you show it to the superiors you'll be able to recover from the blunder made a few days ago.

17
Panel 1
よけいなことを知ってるな。だがその通りだ。上司の将軍というのが奥さん以外に恐いものはないという難物でな。この辺で得点をあげておかないと首があぶない
You know too much. But you're right. He's a hard man to please; there's no one more fearful with the exception of the general's boss, his wife. You'll lose your head if you don't score points around here.

Panel 2
しかし無事に飛行機に乗りこめたのはいいがなんでこんなおかしな格好をしなけりゃならんのだ
It's good that we were able to board the plane safely, but why do I have to look so strange?

零下32度の冷気をふりまきながら歩きたいのか
Do you want to walk around chilling everything to 32 degrees below zero?

Panel 3
それにそら 顔に空気中の水蒸気が氷結している。黒い服に氷片をキラキラさせながら歩いたらさぞにぎやかだったろう
Besides that, the water vapor in the air has frozen over your face. Things would get lively if you were walking around sparkling with ice shards in a black suit.

なるほど
I see.

パリパリ
Pari pari - Crackle

Panel 4
ああ スチュワーデスさん コーヒーを2つ
Aah, Miss Stewardess, 2 coffees please.

わたしはいらんぞ。コーヒーは嫌いだ
I don't need one. I hate coffee.

Panel 5
飲め。君が体温を操作していられるのは起きている間だけだろう。寝たら通常の通常の体温に戻ってしまうそうじゃないか。こんな所で居眠りでもされてはたまらん
Drink it. If you can only manipulate your body temperature while you're awake. So if you fall asleep won't your temperature go back to normal? We can't let you doze off in a place like this.

Panel 6
どうしてそーゆーよけいなことをいろいろ知ってるんだ
How come you know too much about so many things?

Panel 7
趣味さ
It's a hobby.

Panel 8
ゴーッ
Goo - Roooar

ニューヨークのホテル「ホテルニューヨーク」

Panel 2

Gaya gaya - Chatter chatter

Panel 3
うん？
Hn?

Panel 4
どうしたんだ。やけにものものしいな
What's wrong? It's awfully heavily guarded.

わかるか？
You noticed?

Panel 5
わからいでかあいつも
I wouldn't get far if I didn't notice that much. He is.

Panel 6
あいつもあいつも。みんな警官じゃないか
And him and him. Are they all police?

Panel 7
さる回教国のサルタンが泊まっているんだ。そのせいだろう
The sultan of a certain Muslim country is staying here. That's why.

ふーん
Hmm.

19
Panel 1
バサッ
Basa - Rustle

Panel 2
大佐 化合物は大丈夫だろうな
Colonel, is the compound okay?

Panel 3
心配するな。ちゃんと歯に糸を結んで胃の中につるしてある
Don't worry. A thread is tied to my tooth and it's hanging in my stomach.

クワッ
Kuwa - Ding

Panel 4
このまま消化されたらお笑いだがな。冷却装置はどうなってるんだ
It would be funny if I digested it like this. What happened to the refrigerator unit?

まもなく届くはずだ
It should arrive soon.

Panel 5
ふむ 頑丈そうなベッドだ。大佐 手をかしてくれ
Hmm, this is a solid looking bed. Colonel, lend me your hands.

Panel 6
何をする気だ
What do you plan on doing?

いいから手をこちらへ
Listen up, put your hands here.

Panel 7
こうか？
Like this?

Panel 1
ガチャン！
Gachan! - Click!

Panel 2

I hate jokes.

Panel 4

Butsu - Complain

Panel 5
睡眠薬だ。10分ほどできいてくる
It's a sleeping drug. It'll take effect in about 10 minutes.

Panel 7
なっ何を？！デュモン 気でも狂ったか！わたしが眠ったら化合物が爆発するんだぞ！！
Wh, what?! Have you gone mad Dumont?! If I fall asleep the compound will explode!!

Panel 8
はじめからそのつもりだ
That was the plan from the start.

Panel 9
なっ？！
Wha?!

ガチャッ
Gacha - Rattle

21
Panel 1
アメリカの組織に頼まれたなどという作り話を あまり素直に信じてくれるので気がとがめたよ
I made up the story about being asked by an American organization. I felt uneasy that you believed it so easily.

ちょっちょっと待て！本気で爆発させるつもりか！いったいねらいは何だ！！
W, wait a minute! Do you seriously plan on making me explode?! What in the world is your goal?!!

Panel 2
ここに泊まっているサルタンさ
The sultan staying here.

なにおう？！
What?!

Panel 3
敵対国の首脳からサルタンとその腹心の部下十数名を亡き者にしてくれと依頼を受けたのだ。しかしサルタンたちだけを殺ったのではすぐ敵対国のしわざとばれるおそれがある
I was commissioned by the leader of an enemy nation to kill the sultan and his ten most trusted retainers. But if only the sultan and them are killed there's a chance that it will be exposed as the actions of the enemy country right away.

Panel 4
それでは困るからわざわざQ国から五酸化化合物を盗み出して大々的に吹き飛ばすことにしたのだ
Because they were concerned about that, I purposely stole the five compounds from Q-country to make a large scale explosion.

Panel 5
つまり 化合物が爆発すればこのあたり一帯のおそらく数万人が死ぬことになる。そうなれば誰もサルタンたちをねらったものとは思うまい
In short, when the compound explodes tens of thousands of people in the area will probably die. If that happens no one will think the target was the sultan.

Panel 6
ななななんだと~~~？！わずかな疑惑をまねかないために数万の罪もない人間を殺すつもりか？！
Wh-wh-wh-whaaat~?! You plan on killing tens of thousands of innocent people just to prevent suspicion?!

Panel 7
わたしは常に完璧主義者なのだ
I'm always a perfectionist.

22
Panel 1
大佐ありがとう。君のおかげでかさばる冷却装置を運ぶ手間がはぶけたよ
Thank you, Colonel. Thanks to you I was able to save the time and effort it would have taken to carry that bulky refrigeration device.

デュモン！
Dumont!

Panel 2
きっきさま それじゃ最初からそういうつもりで。。。！

That man! Shit! Don't I have some sort of tool?!

Panel 5
手錠なんかはめて何をやってるんだ。SMごっこか？
What are you doing in handcuffs? Playing S&M?

落ちついてる場合じゃない。わたしの体には爆弾がしかけられてるんだ！！
This is no time to be calm. A bomb is set in my body!!

Panel 6
爆弾？ということは。。。
A bomb? Meaning...

Panel 7
わかった 新式のSMごっこだな
I get it. It's a new form of S&M play.

落ちついてる場合ではないとゆーに！！
I said this is no time to be calm!!

じだんだ
Jidanda - Stomp stomp

Panel 8
Q国が開発した五酸化化合物というのを飲まされたんだ！わたしが眠って体温が零下20度以上になったら大爆発を起こしてしまう！急いで手錠をはずすんだ！！
I was forced to swallow the five oxidation compounds Q-country developed! When I fall asleep and my body temperature rises above 20 degrees below zero, it'll cause a huge explosion! Hurry up and take off my handcuffs!!

He said it was the five oxidation compounds of Q-country?!

うむ 何のことかわからんがどうもうさんくさいのでおまえに来てもらったんだ
Yeah, I don't know what that is but it seemed very suspicious so I asked you to come.

Panel 5
S国情報部の人間がなぜそんなものを。。。ところで君はなぜここにいるんだ
Why are people from S-country's information bureau... By the way, why are you here?

このホテルで世界的に有名なダイヤのバイヤーたちが国際会議をひらくんだ。ぼくは産地代表として招かれてきたんだが。。。
There's an international conference at this hotel for famous diamond buyers from around the world. I was invited as a representative producer...

Panel 6
う。。。ん。。。
Yeah...

Panel 7
気がついたか
ミハイル大佐 CIAのヒューイットだ。くわしい話を聞かせてもらおう

How long have I been asleep?

2時間
2 hours.

大佐 くわしい話を
Colonel, the details.

28
Panel 1
話すことなどない化合物はわたしがQ国政府からあずかったものだ。返してもらって国へ返るとしよう
There's nothing to talk about. I looked after the compound for Q-country's government. Give it back and I'll return it to the country.

フアー
Fuaa - Yawn

Panel 2
あずかっただと？！そんなよた話が通用すると思うか！
Looked after it?! As if I'd believe such a nonsense story!

信じる信じないはそちらの勝手だ
It's your choice whether to not to believe it.

Panel 3
化合物はCIAが保管させてもらう！
The compound is in the custody of the CIA!

何を！君たちにそんな権利はない！
What?! You guys don't have that right!

Panel 4
ワーッ！！
Waaah!!

Panel 5
どうしました？！
What happened?!

フランスのバイヤーさんじゃありませんかなんです？！
Aren't you a buyer from France?!

バビロンの夕日が盗まれたーっ！！
The 'Setting Sun of Babylon' was stolen!!

Panel 6
なにっ？！
What?!

Panel 7
どうした！
What's wrong?!

盗難事件だ！盗まれたのは二百五十カラットの真紅のダイヤモンド！
There was a theft! A two hundred and fifty karat deep crimson diamond was stolen!

Panel 8
なにおう？！化合物の問題だけでもめんどうなのにこのうえ盗難だとー？！
What?! There isn't just the problem with the compound but a theft besides?!

29
Panel 2
会議の席上でわれわれに披露してくれるはずだった品ですか？！
It was an item that was supposed to be displayed at the conference?!

ホテルの貸金庫にあずけておかなかったんですか？！
Wasn't it kept in the hotel's safe-deposit box?!

Panel 3
そっそれが自分で持っていた方が安全だと思って。。。ほんの二・三分部屋を出て帰ってみたらバッグの中から消えうせて。。。
I, I thought it would be safer to it myself... When I left the room for a few minutes it disappeared from inside my bag...

Panel 4
じゃあ盗まれたのはつい今しがたなんですね？！
Then it was just stolen a moment ago?!

まず五分とたっていないでしょう
Probably barely five minutes.

Panel 5
要人が泊まってるから出入り口は全部警官が見張ってるはずだ。怪しい奴がいなかったかチェックしてみろ
Important people are staying here so guards should be watching all the entrances. Check if there was anyone suspicious.

はっ！
Yes sir!

Panel 6
二百五十カラットというと大きさはどのくらいだ
About how big is a two hundred and fifty karat diamond?

くるみぐらいだな
About the size of a walnut.

Panel 7
うまい具合です！この十数分間出入りした者は一人もいません！
That's splendid! There isn't one person who has come or gone in the last ten-odd minutes!

Panel 8
よーし それじゃダイヤはまだホテルの中だ。見つかるまで誰も外へ出すな！
All right, then the diamond is still inside the hotel. Don't let anyone out until it's found!

30
Panel 1
わたしは失礼してもいいだろうな？
Is it all right if I'm excused?

うん？！
Hmm?!

Panel 2
この国はそうぞうしくて肌に合わん。化合物はあきらめて体一つで帰ると言ってるんだ。かまわんだろう？
How noisy this country is doesn't sit well with me. I'm saying I'll give up the compound and go home with just myself. Do you mind?

Panel 4
S国とイザコザを起こしてもつまらんしな出口でボディーチェックだけは受けてくれ
There's no thrill in causing a quarrel with S-country. Just get a pat down at the exit.

わかったそれじゃ
I got it. Well then.

Panel 5
気をつけた方がいいぞ。あいつ自分の体温を下げて化合物を持ち運べるんだ
We better be careful. That guy lowered his body temperature in order to carry the compound.

Panel 6
数分後
A few minutes later

パンパン
Pan pan - Pat pat

Panel 7
オーケーです。何も持っていませんし体温も普通です
It's okay. He doesn't have anything and body his temperature is normal.

Panel 8
よーし ミハイルのことはそれでいい
All right, then Mikhail is fine.

あとはダイヤだな
All that's left is the diamond.

31
Panel 1
窓は固定されてるから外に放り出すことはできなかったはずだし。ホテル内にあることは確実だが。。。いかんせんくるみ大の代物だからなあ
Since the windows are being fixed it couldn't have been chucked out the window. I'm certain it's inside the hotel but... it can't be helped with one as big as a walnut.

なあにいざとなったらX線装置を取り寄せて人間の体の中まで調べて見つけてやるさ
What? Well, if we order an X-ray machine we can't check inside people's bodies.

Panel 2
ミハイルが出て行きます
Mikhail left.

Panel 3
はっ盗み出したダイヤはすぐ冷凍庫のカプセルの中に隠しました。。。はっ
Yes, the stolen diamond was immediately hidden inside the capsule in the freezer... yes.

Panel 4
よくやった。調査が終わるまでただの泊まり客のふりをしておとなしくしていろ
Good job. We'll just stay as a guest in this hotel until the investigation ends and it quiets down.

Panel 5
チン
Chin - Click

Panel 6
Q国大使館に連絡を
Contact Q-country's embassy.

はっ
Yes sir.

Panel 7
終わったな
It's over.

ドサッ
Dosa - Thud

Panel 1
あとは大使館員がカプセルをもっともらしく冷却装置に入れて運び出すだけだ
The embassy staff only needs to put the capsule in the serious refrigeration unit and carry it out.

フーッ
Phew

Panel 2
CIAがおとなしく渡すでしょうか
Will the CIA hand it over obediently?

連中はあれをQ国の五酸化化合物だと思いこんでいるんだ。Q国の人間が行ったら渡さざるをえまい
They're convinced that those are the five oxidation compounds of Q-country. If people from Q-country go there they'll have no choice but to let them carry it out.

Panel 3
恐るべき化合物実はダイヤを運び出すためのただのカプセルで
That dreadful compound was merely a capsule to carry out the diamond.

あのバビロンの夕日はもともとQ国の宝物だったそうですね
That "Setting Sun of Babylon" was one of Q-country's treasures originally.

数十年前盗み出されたのだが最近ようやく所在が判明したのでわたしに取り戻すように依頼してきたのだ
It was stolen decades ago but they finally confirmed its whereabouts recently, so they commissioned me to recover it.

Panel 4
ダイヤを盗むだけならわざわざあんな手間をかけなくてもよかったような気もしますが
I feel like we didn't need to put so much time and effort into just stealing a diamond.

そうではない
That's wrong.

Panel 5
あれだけの芝居をうったからそこどうやって持ち出したかわからないようにしてダイヤを運び出せるのだ。つまりわたしの不可能犯罪のコレクションがまたひとつふえるわけだ
Since we put up such a show there's no telling how it was carried out and they'll be able to transport it. In short, I've added one more impossible crime to my collection.

なーる
I see.

Panel 6
それにああやっておけばQ国の連中も堂々と本国に持ち帰れるしな
Besides, this way the members of Q-country can bring it back to their native country in a dignified manner.

いつもながら深遠なお考えで。。。
As always your ideas are profoundly deep...

Panel 7
それにしてもミハイルはとんだ道化者だったな
At any rate, that Mikhail is a serious buffoon.

クックッ
Ku ku - Giggle

おろかな男よ
Foolish man.

33
Panel 1
なんだかデュモンに笑われてるような気がする。。。まんまといっぱいくったんだから文句は言わんが
Somehow I feel like Dumont is laughing at me... But I can't complain since I survived successfully.

Panel 2
それにしても腹が立つのは一度ならず二度もわたしをだませるとデュモンに見くびられたことだ
Even so, I'm offended that Dumont thinks he can deceive me not just once but twice.

ンゲッ
Nge - Cough

Panel 3
ポトッ
Poto - Plop

Panel 4
あれだけ大さわぎしたあとに盗難事件がかさなればいくらわたしがおろかでもおかしいと思うわい
ホテルを出る前念のため冷凍庫によって調べてみたら案の定だ。化合物どころかただのカプセルでこんな物が入ってるじゃないか
When a theft overlaps with that big of an uproar, it's suspicious no matter how foolish I may be.
When I investigated the freezer just in case before leaving the hotel it was as I thought. Far from a compound, it's merely had this capsule inside of it.

Panel 5
将軍の奥様は宝石が好きだからこれをプレゼントして点をかせごう
Since the general's wife likes jewelry I'll give this to her as a present and score some points.

ムッフッフッ
Muhuhu

Panel 6
本当の勝者は最後に笑うものさ
The real winner laughs last.

いやはやまったくきつねとたぬきの化かしあいです
Oh dear, the fox and the tanuki are tricking each other.

Panel 7
ついでですがこの人今回は最後までわき役でした
While we're at it, this person played a minor role to the end this time.

ダイヤが見つからなーい！
I can't find the diamooond!

ミハイル爆弾/おわり
Mikhail Bomb / End

ホッホッ
