P. 161 Ilpalazzo: When I think of people being festive... *the rope now says "Punishment" Ilpalazzo: How deplorable. *KOOOOOo (sound of something sudden and depressing?) Ilpalazzo: What indeed is your intention celebrating such a corrupted, capitalistic festival? Hyatt: Hail Ilpalazzo. Excel: Please excuse me, Ilpalazzo: Or else, the two of you are belivers of that suspicious religion? Hyatt: Well...not exactly... Excel: Because there is currently a festival, no one really thinks about it...... Ilpalazzo: A festival in itself is not a bad thing but... Ilpalazzo: Don't you think that motive is a bit abnormal? Excel: It might be my fault...... Hyatt: Today, he's in a rather bad mood, Ilpalazzo: Repeatedly calling out "Merry" something and a criminal's name...... Excel: Sir, Ilpalazzo-sama! Excel: Stop! Excel: Stop! P. 162 Ilpalazzo: What is it, Excel-kun? Excel: Before you send me off to someplace dangerous...well...umm... Excel: Anyway, what are the details of today's assignment?

Excel: I'm thinking we have just now made enemies with many of the world's people...... Ilpalazzo: -Hmm, but when one mentions his crimes committed by means of charisma, the short beared man in the military boots and the bearded daruma* are no where near his level. *daruma are those round orangish things, they are part of Japanese culture, in English the translate to "tumbling dolls". You'd know one if you saw one. Ilpalazzo: It doesn't matter where this person's will is. Ilpalazzo: Who was the one who hesitated saying that? Excel: ......Sir! Excel: My heart has been cleansed! P. 164 *depressed? Hyatt: Sempai, sempai, Excel: What is it, Ha-chan? Hyatt: I didn't really follow so I don't really understand but...it's alright. Hyatt: I think we would receive much acclamation in Central Asia and the Middle East. Excel: If you follow so shrewdly, you should participate in the conversation. *turn Ilpalazzo: Well then!

Doctor: Alright! *snort Nurse: What are those swirly flowers? Doctor: However...you over there! Other nurse: Yes- Doctor: I heard she's critically injured, but what's the meaning of not having artificial respiriation or anything! P. 177 Other nurse: You're......supposed to do it... Nurse: Brainwaves...heartbeat...we can't confirm them... Doctor: HEY YOU!! Other nurse: Yes...? Doctor: You free tonight?! Nurse: H- hey! Doctor!! Nurse: What about "it is our duty to saver her life"? Doctor: I don't know! Doctor: Did I say that! That line! Doctor: It's not bragging, but I've let so many people die, I've only managed to resucitate one person! Nurse: Don't brag! *Marry into money, marry into money P. 178 Third nurse: Excuse me...Doctor? Doctor: What? Third nurse: Well... Third nurse: Someone who can identify the patient... Third nurse: I mean the body...... Doctor: Let this person in. Third nurse: Please, Excel: Ah, there she is.

Excel's neighbor: Don't do shots while you're crying. Excel's neighbor: That's what I think. Excel's neighbor: I was invited to a party, but why did it have to be you guys? Excel's neighbor: Maybe you got no friends? Excel's other neighbor: NO WAY! Excel's other neighbor: I thought I'd get everyone in the apartment building together. But more than half the people weren't home or didn't come. Excel's neighbor: We already know each other so you don't have to get us all together. Excel's other neighbor: It's only natural to try and get to know better the people who live under the same roof! Excel's neighbor: That's an old-fashioned idea! Idiot! Excel's third neighbor: Like I thought, you ain't got no friends. P. 182 Excel's other neighbor: Come to think of it, I don't know everyone's name! *Yo!

Iwata whispering: And, who is this person with the weird atmosphere? Watanabe: That's Sumiyoshi. He lives on the first floor. (Sumiyoshi is "Inhabit Luck") Sumiyoshi: I'm weird Sumiyoshi. Sumiyoshi: Pleased to meet ya. Iwata: Ah, yeah, pleased to meet you. (mumbling) don't push. Iwata: Ok, now that we finished our self-introductions, Watanabe-kun, I got a question. Watanabe: What? Iwata: Why did you buy two cakes? (mumbling) Even though I bought one too. Watanabe: Uh, P. 183 Iwata: Maybe where you come from, each person eats a whole one? Iwata: In my house, we eat about this much. Watanabe: Like I could eat a whole one!! Iwata: I bet you were seduced by the girls selling them. Watanabe: You bastard! You found out! Iwata: You were caught! Iwata: What an idiot! Iwata: Bwahahaha! Watanabe: Shut Up! There's nothing wrong with that! Watanabe: I got a good idea. Iwata: Idea? Watanabe: Well, y'know... Watanabe: That is... P. 184 Hyatt: Oh my, Hyatt: Is it really alright? Watanabe: Well, my buddies and I bought the same thing, so we got leftovers. Watanabe: Don't worry about it. Hyatt: You're always giving me gifts... Hyatt: I don't know how to thank you. Watanabe: Well...ah, now, Watanabe: We're all having a party, you wanna come? Hyatt: Oh, how wonderful! Hyatt: But...although I appreciate your feelings, today I'm not feeling too well... Watanabe: Well, it's ok, don't worry about it. Hyatt: Thank you very much. *Looking...

Hyatt: Well...I suppose so......... Hyatt: If I had to say... Hyatt: I felt as though he had something important to say...... Excel: Now that you mention it...hmmm- Excel: Maybe, y'know, Excel: He might have a big plan soon, you think? *KOOOooo (maybe the bird sound they tend to do in anime when nothing is happening) Hyatt: Oh, I'm looking forward to it. *Menchi End of Mission 7
