これ以上はないってくらい気味の悪い料理だな
That's the worst dish I ever heard of.

まさかそんな料理は作るまい
I didn't say I was cooking that.

Panel 1
ナマコの中にハンバーグのタネと納豆を詰めてグチャグチャにまぜてマヨネーズ状にしたサワークリームとラードをかけて生のまま食べさせてみよう
I'm going to stuff hamburger seeds and natto in the sea cucumbers, messily mix the sour cream and lard until it looks like mayonnaise and eat it raw.

サイドテーブルの上には誕生日にプレゼントしたブルガリの腕時計
The Bulgari watch I bought her as a present for her birthday is on the table.

Waaah

ハローウィン？

Panel 3
高級品ばかりじゃないか おまえの安月給でよくそんなに買えたな
Aren't these all high-class problems?  How could you buy so many on your salary?

ははーん
Hahaahn

Panel 4
最近われわれに借金しまくってたのはそのせいか
Recently we've taken out some loans.

何ーっ？！
Whaaat?!

Panel 5
借金だと どうしてそんなまねをする！
Loans? Why would you do that?!

すみませーん！
Sorry!

Panel 6

The bloodstains keep going, so she was stumbling along.

Panel 8
ここで水差しを倒したんだ
She knocked over a pitcher here.

134
Panel 1
変だな 逃げようとしたならドアは反対方向だ
Strange. If she was trying to run away, the door was in the opposite direction.

水差しに用があったのかな
Did she have something in the water jug?

のどがかわいてたんじゃないか
Maybe she was thirsty?

Panel 2
こらーっ！
Heeey!

はなせ！はなせー！
Let me go! Let me gooo!

Panel 3
いかんとゆーに！
We can't let you through!

はなしてくれ サマンサはわたしのコウビトだったんだ！

Whose telling that giant lie?!

Panel 5
何がウソだ壁にはクリスマスにプレゼントしたシャガールのリトグラフ！
What lie? That Chagall lithograph on the wall is my Christmas present to her!

Panel 6
ここには誕生日にプレゼントしたブルガリの腕時計！
That Bulgari watch is the birthday present I gave to her!

誕生日にプレゼントしたブルガリの腕時計！
I have her the Bulgari watch for her birthday!

Panel 3
ええーっ？！
Eeeh?!

Panel 4
どうなってるんだー！！
What's going on?!!

Panel 6
つまりですね
In short...

Panel 7
サマンサはぼくやみなさんが考えていたような娘じゃなかったということです
Maybe Samantha wasn't the girl I and everyone else thought she was.

フー
Phew

Panel 8
もう一度ハッキリさせましょう インクさんあなたは毎週日曜日に。。。
Let's make this clear one more time. Mr. Ink, every Sunday...

137

The victim died the day before yesterday. In short, on Wednesday night.

Panel 2
そいつがあやしい水曜の晩に出入りしていた奴をさがせ！
That's suspicious! Search for the guy who comes on Wednesday nights!

若い娘の所に男が出入りしてるのを見られて変なうわさがたっても困るから
It would be a problem if strange rumors started getting spread about men going in and out of a young girl's place.

Panel 7
できるだけ人目に付かないようにたずねてきてくれとサマンサに言われたんだ
Samantha told me she didn't want to attract attention if possible.

139
Panel 1
今思えばおおぜいの男を引っぱりこんでるのを世間に知られたくなかったからなんだ！あんちくしょう！
Now that I think about it, it was just because she didn't want me to know she'd roped in so many men! That bitch!

Panel 2
サマンサの悪口を言うな！
Don't badmouth Samantha!

そうじゃ！
Yeah!

Panel 3
てめえらこの期におよんで
How can you say that eve now?

ぼくは本当の恋人だったんだー！
I really was her boyfriend!

それはわしじゃ！
That was me!

Panel 4
やめい！
Stop it!

Panel 5
よーするにサマンサは皆さんの所に花を届けに行ってるうちに皆さんをたらしこんだんだ！みんなだまされた仲間じゃないか！
In short, while Samantha was delivering flowers to everyone she was deceiving them! She tricked everyone here!

Panel 6
サマンサはそんな女性じゃないー
Samantha wasn't that kind of girl.

ワーッ
Waaah

始末におえんな
He's difficult to deal with.

140

いい娘だったがなあ
She was a good woman.

なぜこんなまねをしたアルか
Why are you acting like this?

Panel 2
皆さん彼女にお金を渡してましたか？
Did everyone give her money?

とんでもない
Don't be outrageous.

Panel 3
それじゃまるで愛人だ
We were lovers.

そんな商売女みたいな娘だったらつきあったりせんよ
I wouldn't associate with a girl in that sort of business.

Panel 4
金目当てじゃないのか
She didn't have her eyes on money?

単なる男好きだったのかも
Maybe she simply loved men.

Panel 5
彼女はそんな女性じゃ
She wasn't that kind of girl.

Hey, pull yourself together.

These were in the documents seized by the police.

Panel 8
質屋の預かり証だ
They're pawnshop receipts.

えっ？
Eh?

141
Panel 1
お金に困ってたのかな
Did she have money trouble?

そんなはずはありません 預金通帳を見るとだいぶ貯まってます
That can't be it. When I saw her bankbook she had a lot in savings.

おい いいのか そんなものまで
Hey, is that okay? That she had that much.

Panel 2
えーとなになに△月□日 ブルガリ腕時計五個お預かり
Umm, on △ month, □ day, she turned in five Bulgari wristwatches.

Panel 3

こっちは○月X日シャガールのリトグラフ五枚お預かり
On ○month X day, she turned in five Chagall lithographs.

<3月☆日マイセンのティーセット五客
<3 month ☆ day, five Meissen tea sets.

Panel 5
わかった！
I get it!

Panel 6
サマンサはみんなから同じ物をプレゼントしてもらってその中の一つだけ残してあとは質屋でお金にかえてたんだ！
Samantha would get the same presents from everyone, and she would pawn five and keep one!

Panel 7
ええっ！！
Eeh?!!

Panel 8
そうすれば
So

それはあなたにいただいた物よ
she would say that it was the one

142
Panel 1
と言われていたがう者はいない！
she received from you, and there wasn't anyone else!

Panel 2
あの女ー
That woman...!

そんなー！
No way...!

ワーッ
Waaah

Panel 3
よーするにそういう女の子だったんだ いろんな男性とつきあうのが好きで かといってお金をもらって商売にするほどの気持ちはなくて
In a word, that's the type of girl she was. She didn't date various men because she liked them but because she wanted to profit.

Panel 4
でもすこしは貯金もしたいからプルゼントを質屋に持ってくぐらいのちゃっかりさは持っていて
But she wanted to save up money so she took her presents to the pawnshop. She was shrewd.

自分の店をもつためか何か知らんが
Was it to open her own store? I don't know.

Panel 5
女子大生のいけいけオネーちゃんがアッシー君やら何やら複数のボーイフレンドとつきあうみたいなものですか
She said her bitchy college friend, Assy, or something liked to dated multiple boyfriends.

そうだ そしてそうやって手に入れたお金はかるくアルバイト代ぐらいに考えていたんだろう
I see. She did that considering the amount of money she would get in an easy part-time job.

Panel 6
つまり本人はかるく考えていたんだが
In short, she was actually an easy girl.

Panel 7
自分こそたった一人の恋人だと思ってた男の方はたまらない 本当のことを知った誰かが逆上して彼女を
One of the men who thought he was her only lover couldn't take it. When he found out the truth he went into a frenzy and...

ズブリ
Zuburi - Straight

143
Panel 1
それが水曜の人物というわけか
So that's the Wednesday person?

この中の誰かかもしれんぞ もちろんオレじゃないが
It's probably someone here. Of course, it isn't me.

Panel 2
自分だけいい方に回るな！
You can't just exclude yourself!

なにおう！
What?!

しかし変だな
But, it's strange.

Panel 3
一週間はたしか七日だろう
There are certainly seven days in a week.

何を今さら
What do you mean?

Panel 4
するとプレゼントの数は七個のはずで 一個残して質屋には六個預けてなくちゃならないはずだ
So the number of presents should be seven. One should be left, and six should be pawned.

Panel 5
しかし預かり証は全部五個の預かりとなってる
But there are only five receipts total.

毎日おつきあいするのはたいへんだから週に一日休んでたんじゃないですか
It's tough dating every day, so maybe she took one day off?

Panel 6
なるほどそれならプレゼントは六個でかんじょうが合う
I see, then six presents would fit.

Panel 7
そうかきっと水曜に休んでたんだ だから水曜の人物がいないんだ
I see, she must have rested on Wednesdays. So there is no Wednesday man.

でも殺されたのは水曜日だぞ
But she was killed on Wednesday.

144
Panel 1
水曜に休んでた なんて不自然だな 普通休日というと
She rested on Wednesday. That's strange. Usually people rest

日曜日でしょう
on Sunday.

Panel 2
そうだそれに彼女はクリスチャンだった
That's right. She was a Christian.

ハッ
Hah

Panel 3
キリスト教徒にとって日曜は安息日だ！
Christians celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday!

Panel 4
プレゼントの数からいって彼女は週に一日休んでいたそしてそれはおそらく日曜日だったんだ！
The number of presents and that she took a day off indicates that it was probably Sunday!

Panel 5
ということは日曜ごとにたずねて来ていたと言ったインクさん！あなたは嘘をついている本当はあなたが水曜の人物じゃないんですか！
Mr. Ink, you said you visited her every Sunday! That's a lie, in reality you were the Wednesday man!

Panel 6
警察が調べてるんだ 目撃者が現れてから認めると立場が悪くなりますよ！
The police will investigate. If a witness recognizes you your case will fall apart!

Panel 7
。。。いかにも
...Indeed.

本当は水曜に来ていました
I actually came on Wednesdays.

Panel 8
オオッ！
Ooh!

てめえが！
You bastard!

誤解するな あの日は早く帰った彼女はそのあとで殺されたんだ
Don't misunderstand. She went home early that day and was killed later.

Panel 9
うたがわれたくなくて嘘をついたんです
I didn't want people to suspect me, so I lied.

それだけです
That's all.

145
Panel 1
本当か~~~？！
Really~~~?!

フン
Hn

Panel 2
あっ証拠があるぞ！
Ah, there's proof!

Panel 3
インクさんあなたが犯人だ！
Mr. Ink, you're the criminal!

Panel 4
サマンサは胸を刺されて苦しいのにわざわざ歩いていって水差しを倒した！犯人は水に関係のある人物つまり水曜の男だと言いたかったんだ！
Samantha was stabbed in the chest and it hurt, but she purposefully walked and knocked over the jug. She wanted to say the criminal was related to water, in other words the man who came on Wednesdays!
*In Japanese, the kanji for "water" is in "Wednesday".

Panel 5
推理小説で言うダイイングメッセーギですか そんなものが証拠になりますか
Is that a dying message from a detective story? What kind of evidence is that?

フフン
Hu hun

Panel 6
だいいちぼくは彼女が他の男とつきってることなど知らなかった 動機がない
First of all, I didn't know she was dating other men. I had no motive.

Panel 7
そうだ 犯人はなぜ他の男性の存在に気がついたんだ
I see. How did the criminal realize she was dating other men?

キョロキョロ
Kyoro kyoro - Glance glance

Panel 9
これか？ リトグラフというのは版画の一種で二百枚と三百枚とか数を限定してつくられるんだ だから必ず通し番号が書かれている
Is this it? This lithograph is a print, so it would be limited to a few hundred copies. There must be a serial number written on it.

146
Panel 1
犯人が自分の贈った品物の番号を記憶していて飾られている絵がそれとちがっていれば。。。
When the criminal remembered the numbers on the one he bought and the one on display was different...

Panel 2
さっき指紋を調べた書類を寄こせ！
Hand over the fingerprints that were on the documents a while ago!

あっ！
Ah!

Panel 3
やっぱり！このリトグラフにはインクさんの指紋がたくさんついている！
Of course! This lithograph has a lot of Mr. Ink's fingerprints on it!

Panel 4
あなたはリトグラフを見て自分のプレゼントした物と番号がちがうことに気がついたんだ それでサマンサを問いつめて
You looked at the lithograph and saw it had a different number from the one yu gave her, then you questioned Samantha about it!

いいがかりはやめろ！
Stop with the false accusations!

Panel 5
ぼくの指紋がついているはずがない！
My fingerprints shouldn't be on that!

Panel 6
