A country of everlasting spring, Malynera.

Panel 4
アメリカ大使館に逃げこんだそうです
It seems he's taking refuge in the American Embassy.

なんでまた
What, again?

Panel 5
仕事をしくじったらしいんです
It seems he blundered at work.

97
Panel 1
ちょっと待て CIAが仕事をしくじってなんで 人の国の大使館に逃げこまにゃならんのだ
Wait a minute. If he blundered on the job for the CIA, why is he taking refuge in an Embassy in another country?

それが。。。
That's...

Panel 2
どうやら また例の病気が出たらしいんです
It seems like his sickness has come to the surface again.

Panel 3
なにい？！
Whaaat?!

Panel 4
アメリカ大使館
The American Embassy

霧が深くて何も見えん
The fog is so think I can't see anything.

Panel 1
かわいい女の子にふられて仕事をしくじったそうだな ヒューイットー！
I heard you were rejected by a cute girl and blundered at work, Hewitt!

Panel 2
それで CIA全体で進めていた作戦をだいなしにしたそうじゃないか！おーい！
Then you messed up the whole strategy that the CIA had going! Heeey!

Panel 3
怒った長官にしめ殺されそうになって ここに逃げこんだヒューイットどこだー！

あたりまえだ
Of course.

Panel 2
バカにして悪かった今度の相手はどんな子だ
Sorry for making fun of you. Who was the girl this time?

聞いてくれるか！
You'll listen?!

Panel 3
とてもかわいい七つぐらいの女の子で笑うとバラのツボミがひらいたようで
When very cute girl that was about seven was laughing it was like she bloomed into a rose.

Panel 4
そんな子にふられたんじゃさぞ ショックだったろう
It must have been a shock when she rejected you.

そうなんだ！おかげで仕事なんか手につかないんだ！
That's right! I couldn't concentrate on work because of that!

Panel 5
なぐさめる言葉もないが ひと言言わせてくれ
There's no words for comfort, but I do have something to tell you.

なんだい？！
What is it?!

Panel 6
おまえは
アホだ
You are
an idiot.

100
Panel 1
アオーン！
Aoon! - Waaah!

そんなとどめをさすようなことを
It seems like that was a finishing blow.

CIAはよくこんなのをやとってるな
The CIA isn't very good at hiring.

Panel 2
ぼくが長官だったら百ぺんぐらいしめ殺してるぞ
If I was the chief I'd strangle you to death a hundred times.

この病気以外は一流の情報員ですから
Except for this illness, he's a top-class information agent.

Panel 3
最近スランプでふられてばかりいるんだー！全財産やってもいいから誰かかわいい子にもてるヒケツを教えてくれー！！
I've just been in a slump because I was rejected! I'd give everything I'd have to hold the secret to being popular with cute girls!!

アーイアイ
Waaah waaah

Panel 4
全財産？！
Everything?!

ピクッ
Piku - Ping

Panel 5
CIAの給料はいいのか？！
Do CIA agents get good salaries?!

さあ 
Who knows?

Panel 6
あっ でも ヒューイットさんこないだ叔父さんが亡くなって遺産を相続したそうですよ
Ah, but, Hewitt's uncle passed away recently and left his inheritance to him.

遺産だと？！
His inheritance?!

Panel 7
ちょっと待て
Wait a minute.

は
Yeah.

101
Panel 1
さんざん すったもんだやったあげく もらったのは胃酸でしたなんてオチじゃないだろうな
He's making a terrible fuss. It's going to give me a stomach ache. And that's not the punch-line.

まさかそんな
No way.

Panel 2
おい おまえがもらった遺産とは何だ！
Hey, what did you inherit?!

えっ？！
Eh?!

Panel 3
大きな銅の鉱山だよ
A large copper mine.

Panel 4
銅の鉱山？！
A copper mine?!

Panel 5
廃鉱じゃないだろうな！
It's not an abandoned mine?!

は？
Huh?

Panel 6
大きいのはいいが死にたえたような状態じゃ困ると言ってるんだ！
I'm asking is it a large one that isn't going to run dry soon!

それなら大丈夫まだ ちゃんと活動してるよ
If that's what you mean, it's fine. It's still functioning properly.

Panel 7
銅の値段はどんどん上がってるはずだ！よし引き受けた！
Copper prices should be going up rapidly! All right, I'll take you up on that!

ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 8
ぼくがもてるようにしてやる！
I'll make you popular!

102
Panel 2
できた
I made it.

Panel 3
あんまり早すぎてありがたみがないな
It's too soon to know it's value.

えらそうに言うな変質者のくせに
Don't get all self-important, pervert.

Panel 4
人をバンコランみたいに言わんでくれ
Don't talk about people like Bancoran does.

Panel 5
おもしろいな いつだったかバンコランも
This is interesting. Bancoran said something, too?

Panel 6
ヒューイット？いい奴が あの病気がな。。。小さい女の子しか愛せないなんて異常としか思えん
Hewitt? He's a good man, but his sickness... I can't think it's anything but abnormal that he can only love little girls.

Panel 7
きさまに そんなことを言われるすじあいはなーい！！
That bastard, he has no right to say something like that!!

まあまあ変態同士仲良くしろ
Now now, get along with your fellow perverts.

Panel 8
こらーっ！！
Heeey!!

耳にはめてみろ
Put it in your ear.

Panel 9

ティミたんころマリたんころプルだよー！
Timi and Mari and Puru!
*These are based on the names of Mineo Maya's family members and possibly his dog. "Yoshimi", "Marie" and "Puru" (later on "Mao").

Panel 2
えっ？
Eh?

簡単にいうと超小型の脳波感知装置だ
To put it simply, it's a micro thought detector.

Panel 3
それを耳にはめると顔の前に球体の磁場が発生する
When you have that in your ear, a spherical magnetic field will appear in front of their face.

Panel 4
それが一種のレンズのような役割をはたして対象にした人間の脳波を映像にして見せてくれるのだ
It acts like a lens and shows a reflection of the target person's thoughts.

Panel 5
キャッチする脳波はその時相手が強く念じていることだから たとえばケーキを食べたいなーと思っていればその脳波を磁場がとらえてケーキの映像にして見せてくれるわけだ
The thoughts it catches are strong, so for example if you'd like to eat a cake, the magnetic field would catch those thought waves and show an image of a cake.

104
Panel 1
なるほど
I see.

つまり占いに使う水晶玉のようなはたらきをするわけだな
In short, it works like a crystal ball in fortune telling.

Panel 2
わかるか？相手が欲しがってる物が見えるわけだからそれをプレゼントすればいいのだ そうすれば女はずう。。。
Understand? You just need to see what the other person wants and give it to them as a present. If you do that, the girls should...

Panel 3
うん？
Hn?

。。。ずうっとプレゼントが好きだから
...should always like the presents.

Panel 4
えんりょなく受けとるだろう そして自分が欲しがってる物をタイミングよくプレゼントしてくれたおまえに好意をもつはずだ
They should accept them without hesitation. And they should be fond of the person who gave them what they wanted with enough time.

Panel 5
なーるほど女の子はプレゼントされるのが大好きだからな それも自分が欲しがってる物だったら
I see. I just give the girls presents they love and then they'll want me, too.

Panel 6
効果は絶対！
It'll work for sure!

Panel 7
いちゃく大もて！！
I'll be super popular!!

105

それじゃ契約書にサインしろ
Then sign this contract.

Panel 2
何の？
What?

とぼけるな この装置でかわい子ちゃんとうまくいったら ぼくに鉱山を渡すという契約書だ
Don't play dumb. This contract says that if things go smoothly with girls because of this device, you'll hand over your mine to me.

Panel 3
ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 4
今さら いやとは言わせんぞ！
Don't start being disagreeable now!

この装置は相手の一番嫌いな物を映しだすにちがいない！君はわたしをおとしいれようとして
This device must be projecting things they hate! You're trying to trap me!

謝礼をもらうのにそんないたずらはせんわい
I wouldn't pull a prank like that when a reward is at stake.

じゃあ どういうことなんだ
Then what's the meaning of this?

Don't get excited. I'm here with you, too, so tomorrow you can try flirting with a girl young enough to be called 'little' like a sick pervert.

バンコラン 君が殺らないならぼくがこいつを殺るぞ
Bancoran, if you don't kill him I will.

It's that guy. It looks like it's true that the information that he fled to the Embassy in Malynera is true.

Panel 8
いいねえ君 役割はわかってるね 奴をホテルに連れ込んで誘惑するんだ いざとなったら われわれが飛び出すから危険はないよ
Fine. You know your part. Bring him into the hotel and tempt him. If something happens we'll jump in, so there's no danger.

112
Panel 1
はい。。。
Yes...

Panel 2
それじゃぼくたちは隠れて見てるからな
Then we'll be hiding and watching.

Oh? A girl is approaching Hewitt.

113

A victim appeared immediately?

I don't think I'd forget a cute girl like this.

We're staying at this hotel because of dad's work, but both of my parents are out and I came out for a walk because I was bored. If you like, we can have some tea in my hotel room?

えっ 本当に？！
Eh, really?!

Panel 6
久しぶりにもてた！
I'm finally popular!

舞い上がったヒューイットは出会いの不自然さにも彼女のふるまいがわざとらしいのにも気がつかなかった
Hewitt was on cloud nine and didn't notice that their meeting was unnatural and her behavior was forced.

Panel 7
さっそく行きましょう！ホテルはどこです！
Let's go right now! Where's the hotel?!

は。。。はい！
Y...yes!

115
Panel 1
そうか やはりあの超水晶玉には根本的なミスがあったんだ！
I see. It's was a fundamental error of the Super Crystal Ball!

ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 2
あの映像は双方向性だったんだ つまり ヒューイットが誰かの欲しがってる物をのぞこうとすると相手にもヒューイットの心の中が見えてしまうんだ！
The reflection went both ways. In short, Hewitt could peek in and see what someone wanted, and they could see inside of Hewitt's heart!

Panel 3
すると殿下が見た不気味な顔は？！
And the weird face Your Highness saw?!

ヒューイットの下心だ！
Hewitt's ulterior motives!

Panel 4
じゃあ きのう声をかけた女の子たちが逃げたのは下心丸出しのスケベ顔が見えたからなんですね
Then, the girls he talked to yesterday ran away because they saw his lecherous face exposed.

あんな顔を見たら小森のオバちゃまだってパンツをおさえて逃げ出すだろう
If she saw that face even Auntie Komori would hold onto her panties and run away.
*Kazuko Komori was a film critic.

Panel 5
でも あの子は平気でヒューイットさんをさそってましたよ
But that girl was calm and invited Hewitt over.

Panel 6
変だ！
It's strange!

Panel 7
円だ！
It's yen!
*In Japanese, "strange" is "hen", so these sound alike.

Panel 8
面だ！
It's a mask!
*In Japanese, 'mask' can be "men".

The other day, the American CIA planned the destruction of our organization. However, we're on alert to catch their information in advance and deal a fatal blow to the CIA in reverse.

Panel 2
しかし あのヒューイットという奴がわれわれの動きを察知したらしく作戦は途中でストップしてしまったのだ
But, seemingly that guy called Hewitt sensed our movements and was going to stop our plan.

ああ ヒューイットがだいなしにしたって作戦か
Aah, is it a plan if even Hewitt can spoil it?

でも あれは偶然だったんですよ
But that was by accident.

Panel 3
偶然にでもそれだけの働きができるというのは有能な情報員だという証拠だ これからのこともあるから今のうちに排除しておこうとこういうことをやってるんだ
That he could do it by accident is just proof that he's a capable information agent. We're going to eliminate him now so he can't get in the way in the future.

こういうこと
といいますと？
What do you
mean by that?

Panel 4
あいつはロリコンらしいからおぜん立てをしてあの子に襲いかからせ その写真を新聞社に送るのだ
Since he has a lolicon complex we're setting the table and sicced that girl on her. Then we'll send the photographs to the newspaper.

Hewitt turned into a beast and sprung on the information agents from K-country was so thoroughly... thoroughly in pain... that he completely changed in a way that words can't describe.

何しろそれを見ていた女の子があまりのショックに気を失い三日間意識が回復しなかったぐらいである
Anyhow, the girl who saw it fainted from shock and didn't recover consciousness for three days.

Panel 3
結局あの女の子は何だったんだ？
Who was that girl in the end?

Panel 4
国防省のタッカーという役人の娘です タッカーが使い込みをしてるのをK国がかぎつけてむりやり協力させたんです
She's the daughter of a government official called Tucker from the Department of Defense. K-country caught wind that Tucker was embezzling and forced him to cooperate.

Panel 5
そうか その始末は国防省にまかせておくとして
I see. We'll leave it to the Department of Defense to deal with that.

オーイオイ
Heeey hey

Panel 6
泣くな うっとうしい長官もおまえの働きを認めてくれたそうじゃないか
Don't cry, it's depressing. Didn't the chief recognize your work?
