おろせーっひきょう者ー！！
Let me down! Cowards!!

なんとでもほざけ
Whatever.

どうした
What happened?

Panel 5
殿下が仕事をいやがって逃げ回るから磁石でつかまえたんだ
His Highness was tryying to escape because he hates work so we caught him with a magnet.

へえ
Heeh

Panel 6
えっ 磁石で？
Eh, with a magnet?

130
Panel 1
つまり逃げ回る殿下のうしろに忍び寄って
In short, we crept up behind His Highness while he was escaping.

Panel 2
こっそり鉄アレイを結びつけ
and secretly tied an iron dumbbell to him.

Panel 3
強力な電磁石で捕獲したというわけだ
So that's why you caught me with a giant electromagnet!

あっいつのまに！
Ah, it happened before I realized it!

Panel 4
しかし重い鉄アレイを腰につけてあれだけ走り回るんだからさすがというか
But I can't say I'm surprised he was running around so much with a heavy dumbbell attached to his waist.

うーむ
Yeah.

その時つかまえられなかったのか
Why didn't you catch him then?

Panel 5
はっ？
Huh?

いや だから鉄アレイを結びつけるヒマがあったのなら その時つかまえることはできなかったのか
Well, if you had the time to tie a dumbbell to him, couldn't you have just caught him then?

131
Panel 1
あっ
Ah

あっ
じゃない！
"Ah"
isn't an answer!

Panel 2
おまえたちみんなして殿下と遊んでるんじゃないのか！
Aren't you all playing with His Highness?!

そんな言い方って
When you put it that way...

Panel 3
あーっイライラするーっ！！
Aaah, this is irritating!!

Panel 4
が まあいい今日の仕事というのは？
But, that's enough. What work is there today?

視差だ
It's a parallax.

Panel 5
誰を刺殺するんだ
Who are we stabbing to death?
*In Japanese, "shisa" is parallax, and "shisatsu" is "stab to death"

おまえも遊んでないか？
Aren't you playing, too?

Panel 6
知っての通り最近マリネラにも海外企業が進出してきているそこを順番に視察してるんだ
As you know, recently we've been inspecting overseas companies in Malynera.

なるほど今日行く会社は？
I see, what company are we going to today?

Panel 7
えーと
Umm...

132
Panel 1

IVM.

ええっ？！

Panel 2
マリネラにコンピューター業界の巨人 あのIBMが進出してきているとは知らなかった！
I didn't know a giant computer industry like IBM was in Malynera!

Panel 3
よく聞けアイブイエムインターナショナルベジタブル何とかって野菜を作ってる会社だ
Listen closely. IVM is the International Vegetable Matters, it produces vegetables.

Panel 5
どうしてマリネラまで来て野菜なんか
Why did they come to Malynera for vegetables?

知らんわい！
I don't know!

Panel 6
と まあいざこざはありましたが捕獲したパタリロを連れてタマネギたちは視察に出かけました
Oh well. There was a quarrel but Patalliro was caught and taken, and the Tamanegi went out for an inspection.

こらーなんだこれはー
Heeey, what is this?

おまえの顔がお気に召さん
I'm not satisfied with your face.

Panel 6
わーったったっ！
Waaah, ow ow!

Panel 7

You forced me to come to the inspection, why do I have to work on such an important day?!

It's the Memorial for Old Needles Day!

Panel 1
名は体をあらわすというが
His name fits his body.

ほんとにドジな人みたいですね
He really is dodgy.
*In Japanese, "doji" means "clumsy" or "awkward".

これはお恥ずかしい所を
This is embarrassing.

Panel 2
本名はドナスンというんですが 本名で呼ぶ者はおりません 皆ドジスンドジスンと
His real name is Donson, but everyone always calls him "Dodgson, Dodgson".

なるほど
I see.

Panel 3
気の毒なやつなんですよ 幼いころ両親兄弟と死に別れ 血縁と呼べるのは広い世界にわたし一人だけなんです
He's pitiful. He lost his parents when he was young and I'm the only one in the world he could call a relative.

Panel 4
そういう関係でわが社で雇ってやっとるんですが 時々ガマンにも限界がきましてね
I hired him because of that relation but sometimes I'm at my limit.

いますな そういう人間が
There are people like that.

Panel 5
しかし怒ってはいけませんよ
But, you can't get mad.

え
Eh?

I employ many people, too, but employing people is a serious thing.

Panel 7
やってみせ やらせてみせてほめてやる
Try this. Make them do something and praise them.

137
Panel 1
ほめるのが人をあつかう基本です どなったり声を荒らげてしかりつけても教育効果はありません
Praise is the foundation of how to treat people. Even if you shout and scold them, they won't learn anything.

As the man on top you can't forget the word "perseverance".

A-are you deranged?

あれで普通なんです
That's normal.

Panel 6
まあまあ殿下そんなにせめちゃかわいそうですよ
Now now, it's sad to get attacked by His Highness like that.

Panel 7
手伝おう
Let me help.

あっ どうも
Ah, thanks.

139
Panel 1
すみませんすみません
Sorry, sorry.

流しはどこ？
Where is a sink?

すっかり人間不信におちいった所長を残してパタリロたちは無事。。。というか何というか。。。視察を終えて引きあげた
Leaving the boss in complete disbelief, Patalliro and the were safe... that is to say... they finished the inspection and left.

Panel 3
翌日
The next day

Panel 4
やっぱりこれからは視察に殿下をつれていくのはやめよう
So we'll stop bringing His Highness to inspections.

Panel 5
だから最初からいやだと言ってるだろう！
I told you it was a bad idea from the start!

あんたはだまってなさい
You be quiet.

Panel 6
今後はわれわれが手分けしてマリネラに来ている外国企業を視察して 正しい企業活動を行っているかどうかチェックしよう
We'll split up from now on the inspect foreign companies that come to Malynera and check it their business activity is honest.

さんせーい
Agreed!

140
Panel 1
じゃあさっそく
Then let's start immediately.

百五十五号どこへ行く
155, where are you going?

Panel 2
アイブイエムの視察に
To inspect IVM.

きのう行ったばかりじゃないか
Didn't we just do that yesterday?

Panel 3
バイオ野菜はこれからの成長産業だ 視察をくり返して見守る必要があると思う
Bio vegetables are a growing industry. I think it's necessary to perform a repeat inspection.

Panel 4
それじゃ
Well then.

Panel 5
視察先を自分で決めていいんならぼくはMP通信へ行く
If we can pick our own inspection destinations, I'll go to MP Communications.

あっ あそこはおいしいお茶菓子を出すんだ！ぼくが行く！
Ah, they put out delicious tea cakes! I'll go!

Panel 6
早い者勝ちだー！
First come, first served!

なにおー！
Whaaat?!

まったく
Geez.

141
Panel 2
すみませんこんなことをお手伝いしてもらって
Excuse me, please help me with this.

Panel 3
気にしなくていいよ ぼくがやらせてくれって言ったんだから
You don't need to worry about it. I said I'd do it.

Panel 4
いつもこんな仕事を？
Do you always do this work?

はい
Yes.

Panel 5
仕事といったらコピー取りにお茶くみ 器を洗って片づけてあとはお掃除くらいなんです
If you're talking about work, it's making copies and serving tea. I wash bowls and straighten up and clean.

Panel 6
でもそれすら満足にできなくて
But even that isn't satisfactory.

まあまあ
Now now.

Panel 7
身寄りはないんだってね 親しい友人は？恋人はいるの？
You have no relatives, but what about close friends? A sweetheart?

Panel 8
いません とくに女の人はこんなドジなぼくを相手にはしてくれませんよ
No one. Women especially don't care for a bungling idiot like me.

そんなことはないさ
That's not true.

142
Panel 1
早くいい人を見つけて結婚するんだね ぼくも結婚してからずいぶん落ち着いたような気がするよ
You'll find a good person and get married soon. I calmed down a bit after I got married, too.

Panel 2
そんな奇特な女がいてくれればいいんですが
I wish there was an admirable woman like that.

Panel 3
あ
Ah

Panel 4
わーっ！！
Waaah!!

ドンガラ

それからというもの
After that.

アイブイエムへ行ってきまーす
I'm going to IVM.

Panel 6
百五十五号の奴毎日入りびたりだな
155 has been hanging around there a lot.

よっぽどおいしいお茶菓子が出るのかな
Maybe they put out really delicious tea cakes?

Panel 7
おまえの頭にはお茶菓子しかないのか！
Do you only think of refreshments?!

なにーっ
Whaaat?!

Panel 8
ギャオー
Gyaoo - Raaar

いいかげんにせんかー！

143
Panel 1
毎日アイブイエムへ視察に行く百五十五号
155 went to inspect IVM every day.

その日も
That day, too.

行ってきまーす
I'm going.

Panel 2
と 出かけていって
He went out.

Panel 3
それきり帰ってこなかった
And he didn't come back.

Panel 4
夜になっても宿舎に帰ってこないので心配した奥さんが宮殿に電話をかけてきたが
He didn't even come home at night, so his worried wife called the palace.

Panel 5
タマネギたちにも心当たりはなく
Not even the Tamanegi knew anything.

百五十五号が？
155?

ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 6
アイブイエムに電話してみろ
Try calling IVM.

残業していた所長さんをつかまえて事情を話したが
They caught the boss who was working overtime and spoke to him.

Panel 7
夕方にはお帰りになりましたよ
He went home in the evening.

という返事
Was the answer.

144
Panel 1
事故にでもまきこまれたかな
Maybe he got in an accident?

Panel 2
お茶菓子を食べすぎてどこかで動けなくなってるんじゃないか
Maybe he ate too many snacks and couldn't move anymore?

Panel 3
お茶菓子からはなれんかー！
Can't you think about anything but snacks?!

くおらーっ！
Heeey!

Panel 4
とりあえず警察に捜索願いを出して
First they put out a request for a police search.

翌日
The next day

Panel 5
アイブイエムの会社近くの林にキノコを取りに行った少年が
A boy who went to gather mushrooms in the woods near the IVM company...

Panel 7
百五十五号の惨殺死体を発見した
Discovered the bloody corpse of 155.

145
Panel 1
鋭利な刃物でメッタ切りにされてます とくに顔などは見分けがつかないほど
He's been hacked with a sharp knife. His face is especially unrecognizable.

Panel 2
奥さん 確認をお願いします
Madam, please confirm it's his body.

Panel 3
顔はごらんにならない方がいい体に特徴は
It's better if you don't see his face.

服を脱がせてください
Please strip his body.

Panel 5
胸のアザ！
The birth mark on his chest!

Panel 6
フーッ
Huu - Fwoo

奥さん！
Madam!

Panel 7
草の根を分けても犯人をさがし出せ！
Find the criminal, leave no stone unturned!

Panel 8
タマネギ部隊への挑戦状だ！日常の業務は事件解決まで無期限に休止して捜査に専念しろ！
This is a challenge to the Tamanegi Force! Settled and pause all regular business and devote yourself to the search!

オオッ
Ooh

ダダッ
Da da - Stomp stomp

146
Panel 1
翌日タマネギの一部がとりしきってお葬式
The next day a part of the Tamanegi managed the funeral.

頼むぞ
We're leaving it to you.

これがすんだらわれわれも捜査に合流する
When this is finished, we'll join the investigation, too.

Panel 2
このたびはなんとも。。。
I'm deeply sorry for your loss...

Panel 3
ガラガシャーン
Gara gashaan - Clatter crash

Panel 4
すみません すみません！
Sorry, sorry!

ドジスーン！！
Dodgsooon!!

Panel 6
タマネギたちの昼夜をとわぬ活動が開始された
The Tamanegi began acting day and night.

Panel 7
が 捜査は難航をきわめた目撃者はなく 百五十五号についても ちょっと何を考えているかわからない所があったという以外悪い評判もなく 殺害の動機を特定できないのだった
But, without an eyewitness it was a stormy investigation. They didn't know what to think because there weren't any unsavory rumors about 155, and they couldn't specify a motive for killing.

147
Panel 1
ところが一週間ほどたったある日
But one day about a week later.

殿下保険会社の方が
Your Highness, it's a man from the insurance company.

Panel 2
実は亡くなられた百五十五号さんには多額の生命保険がかけられていまして
Actually, the now deceased 155 had a large life insurance policy.

Panel 4
受け取り人は？
And the recipient is?

奥様です
His wife.

Panel 5
夫人のアリバイは
The wife's alibi?

捜査の常道ですから まっさきに調べました
It was a normal investigation so we checked her first.

Panel 6
あの日は昼から友人夫妻が遊びに来てまして 夜になっても百五十五号が帰らないものですから 心細く思った奥さんに引き止められて その晩は泊まったそうなんです
That day from noon their friends, a married couple, had come over. Because 155 hadn't even come home by the evening, they thought she'd be lonely, so they stayed overnight.

Panel 7
百五十五号の死亡推定時刻は夕方から夜も早い時間にかけてですから
The estimated time of 155's death is from that evening to early that night

鉄壁のアリバイがあるか
so she has an airtight alibi.

Panel 8
ガッチリしたアリバイというのはかえって怪しいな共犯者がいる可能性は？
If she has a tight alibi, perhaps it's possible she had an accomplice?

148
Panel 1
否定はできませんが交友関係はせまくあまり出歩くタイプでもないようでして
That can't be denied, but she didn't seem the type to go out much and had a small circle of friends.

うーむ
Hmm.

Panel 2
話は変わりますが部隊の中からもちょっと疑問点が
I'm changing the topic, but were there any questions inside of the Force?

うん？
Hn?

Panel 3
更衣室で何度も一緒に着がえましたが百五十五号の胸にアザがあったという記憶がないんです
I changed my clothes together with him many times in the locker room, but I don't have any memory of a bruise that matched the one of the chest of 155.

Panel 4
誰も見た覚えがないのか？！
No one remembers seeing it?!

はい
Nope.

Panel 5
まあ アザを見られるのがイヤで隠しながら着がえていたということも
Well, maybe he didn't like the birthmark and hid it while he was changing.

考えられんではないな しかしもし本当にアザがなかったとしたら
I don't think so. But, if there wasn't really any birthmark...

Panel 6
死体は別人！替え玉殺人か！
The body is someone else! It's a body double for the murder!

Panel 7
つまり殺されたのは百五十五号ではなく 百五十五号こそ保険金目当ての殺人犯だということだ！
In short, it wasn't 155 who was killed. The murderer was aiming at 155's insurance payout!

149
Panel 1
それなら怨恨とも思えないのに顔をメッタ切りにした説明がつく！夫人は共犯者がいる必要もない 夫婦二人がグルの犯行なのだからな！
So even though it wasn't a grudge, it makes sense why the face was cut up! The wife didn't need to have an accomplice, because they were in on the crime as a couple!

Panel 2
そう言われて。。。いや絶対ちがう彼はそんなことをする人間ではない
Now that you mention it... No, absolutely not. He wouldn't do something like that.

Panel 3
と 言える人柄ではなかったな
Isn't what I can say about him.

妙にクールでどこか爬虫類を思わせる奴だったなあ
He was a strangely cool guy who seemed to think like a reptile.

Panel 4
しかしその説には欠陥があります
But that theory has a defect.

Panel 5
何だ！
What is it?!

殿下のおっしゃる通りだとすると別に殺された人間がいるはずです
According to Your Highness' theory, there's someone else that should be dead.

Panel 6
つまり 一人行方不明になっているはずですが この一週間警察と密接に連絡をとっていて捜索願いが出されたという話は聞きません
In short, we've been in close contact with the police this week and we haven't heard of any other missing person's reports.

Panel 7
それに百五十五号が生きているとしたらどこにいるんでしょう マリネラ中を隊員が捜索してるんですよ
Besides, if 155 is alive, where is he? Our members have been searching for him in Malynera.

Panel 8
うーむ
Yeaaah

150
Panel 1
おや あれは？
Oh, that's...?

えっ？
Eh?

Panel 3
捜査に行った連中が帰ってきたんですよ
The group who went to investigate has returned.

ああ しかし何だあの格好は
Aah, but what's with that posture?

Panel 4
かけずり回って熱いのはわかるがみんな上着を脱いで。。。服装規定を何と
Everyone is running around and they know it would be hot so they took off their jackets... What about the dress code?

Panel 7

Panel 8

Panel 1

Panel 2
格子としま模様の幅が同じだから黒い部分が見えてる時は黒い所が隠れて見えなかっただけだ
Because the stripes were the same width as the grid, I just didn't see the black parts.

ハッハッハッ
Ha ha ha

Panel 3
はっ
Hah

Panel 4
わかったー！
I got it!

えっ？！

Panel 5

You were clumsy before, but you've only been this clumsy for the last week!

152
Panel 1
重要書類をシュレッダーにかけるわ せっかく打ちこんだプログラムを抹消するわ まるでわざとやってるとしか思えん！
You put important documents in the shredder! You deleted a program we put so much work into! I can only think you must be doing this on purpose!

Panel 2
今度という今度は堪忍袋の緒が切れた！今日かぎりクビだー！！
My thread of patience has been cut! I'm going to fire you today!!

ドジのかたまりのドジスン君に今のまねができますかな
Could a bungler like Dodgson do what he just did?

ええっ おっ おいドジスンどうしたんだ！
Eeh?! H-hey, what happened to Dodgson?!

Panel 3
訓練を受けた兵士だからこそできた身のこなしだそうだな ドジスン君
You carry yourself like a soldier who's undergone training, Dodgson.

Panel 4
いや 百五十五号！
Or should I say, 155?!

Panel 5
ええっ？！
Eeh?!

Panel 7
考えたものだな 一人殺せば一人へる捜索願いを出されればすぐ替え玉殺人と結びつけられて犯行がバレてしまう
Think about it. If one person is killed, if a search request is put out a double murder would be exposed right away.

Panel 8
しかし自分が被害者になり替わることができれば 自分の隠れ場もできて おまけに捜索願いを出されることもない
But if you can replace the victim you have a hiding place, and a search request won't be put out for you.

154
Panel 1
おそらく以前から計画していた犯行なんだろうな しかし自分が入れ替わってバレないようなうり二つの人間がそうそういるはずがない
You were probably planning the crime before. But to replace him you had to become like two peas in a pod so you wouldn't be exposed.

Panel 2
たとえ顔がそっくりでも家族や親しい友人をだましおおせるのではない しかしそこにドジスン君がいた
Even if you had the same face, family and close friends would notice. But Dodgson was there.

Panel 3
きっとずいぶん気長に待ったんだろうな もし入れ変われる相手が出てこなければ無理に悪事を働く必要はないというぐらいの余裕をもってな
You waited patiently until a partner you could replace appeared. You had plenty of leeway so you didn't have to commit the crime hastily.

Panel 4
だがドジスン君を見てこれなら化けおおせると思ったんだろう 極端なドジぶりを真似すれば顔や声が多少ちがっていても皆ドジの方に目がいって気がつく者はいまい ま いくらか顔つきや体型が似てはいたんだろうが
But when you saw Dodgson that changed. Even if your face and voice were a little different, everyone's eyes would be attracted to the bungling. Since your features and figure were similar it was fine.

Panel 5
しかしいつまでもというわけにはいかない 長居をすればそれだけバレる危険性が高くなる そこで思いきりオーバーにドジをやらかしてクビになって
But you couldn't do it forever. If you overstayed your welcome the risk of being exposed would be high. So you bungled all over the place, hoping to be fired.

Panel 6
さっさと外国へでも行って いずれ奥さんと落ち合う予定だったんだろう 計画は完璧だったがあいにく謎とき名人のぼくの存在を忘れていたようだな
You would quickly go to a foreign country and meet your wife eventually. Your plan was perfect, but, unfortunately, you forgot I was involved in solving the puzzle.

155
Panel 1
格子としま模様のかげんでストライプの服が黒く見えたり白く見えたりした所から気がついたんだ 同じ物が見方によってまったく別の物に見えた
I noticed in one place that striped clothes could look black or white because of a pattern in front of them. It was the same point of view but I saw something different.

Panel 2
逆に考えると別の物が同じ物に見える場合もあるのではないか つまりまったく別人がある 人間になりすましているとしたら。。。そこまで考えたら解答がひらめいたというわけさ
When you think of it the opposite way, something different can be seen as the same thing. In other words, there was a completely different person. When I thought of someone impersonating as someone else... The solution flashed in my head.

Panel 3
所長さん ドジスン君の胸にはアザがありましたか
Boss, was there a birthmark on Dodgson's chest?

えっ
Eh?

Panel 4
ああ そういえば手のひらくらいのアザが。。。ペンキをかぶって着替えてる時 気がついたんだが
Aah, now that you mention it, there was a bruise like the palm of your hand... I noticed he would put paint on it when he changed his clothes.

ドジスン君らしい
It seems it was Dodgson.

Panel 5
毎日視察に来てたのはドジスン君を観察するため また奥さんはアザでもホクロでも体にあったらこれが主人の証ですと言いはるだけでよかった
You came every day to inspect in order to observe Dodgson. Your wife only needed to insist that any birthmarks or moles were proof that it was your body.

Panel 6
さあカツラを取れうっとうしいだろう
Now, take off the wig. It's depressing.

Panel 9
