Chapter 3 | Part 10: Joker's Crimes


Translation under the cut.

--





Ian: Joker… betrayed you?

Orochi: I mean, we don’t know for sure if he really betrayed us or not, but…

Orochi: He’d disappeared, just like that…

Niko: Tsk…

Orochi: I’d always just assumed that he was done in by some other beast while we were busy.

Orochi: Since he was supposed to sound the whistle, he stood on guard by himself. We never saw him again after we’d started.


Orochi: He’s not a bad person. He just got caught up in an accident, or something…

Niko: He lived!!

Orochi: ...Yeah, that’s true.

Niko: He’s the only one… I won’t forgive… Just remembering that miserable fucking mug makes me―!

Orochi: Calm down a little, Niko!

Niko: How can I calm down!? How dare that piece of shit traitor show up here so fucking casually!?


Abel: But you don’t know if he really betrayed you guys y―

Niko: Shut the fuck up! If he didn’t betray us, then explain why he was nowhere to be found!?

Niko: If he betrayed us, that means he ran away, doesn’t it!? I won’t rest… until he’s dead!

Orochi: That’s enough, Niko…

Niko: What!? Why are you so calm about this!? You lost your fucking arm in that fight, remember!?

Orochi: It’s… fine, though. My arm doesn’t matter.

Niko: No, it’s not!! ...That’s my partner’s arm.

Orochi: ...Niko…


Niko: Joker… I’m gonna kill that bastard. And you lot better not get in the fucking way next time.

Niko: This is our problem.

Orochi: H-Hey, Niko! Wait a m―


Krone: ...So that’s what his deal is, huh? Fucking idiot…

Burgess: If this all really happened, then he likely didn’t want to come back here…

Ian: Did Joker really betray them? I’d never thought of him as an underhanded guy or a villain...

Krone: Ha… Fuck if I know.


Abel: I wanna believe he’s not a bad guy… You too, right? Setsu?


> I don’t trust him.


Abel: W-Why are you sayin’ somethin’ like that!? You think he’s a lowlife!?

Burgess: Calm down, Abel. Setsu has a point.

Burgess: If they’d hear that kind of testimonial… other people wouldn’t trust him, either.

Abel: Maybe, but… But what are we doing here, then, if we don’t believe him!?


> I want to believe in him.


Abel: Right!? You don’t think he’s that bad of a guy either, do ya!?


Flost: ...It’s true that if we only listen to their side of the story, we won’t know the full picture.

Evan: Right, if we don’t try to hear out Joker, we’ll never know whether he actually betrayed them or not.


Orochi: ...Hey, what are you guys planning on doing from here on out?

Burgess: We haven’t really decided yet… But I’d like to wait for Joker first.

Niko: ...You think he’s gonna come back?

Burgess: I don’t know… But it’s our responsibility to prepare some place for him to return to.

Niko: Ha. Bold of you to say that so casually… If I see that bastard’s mug, I’m gonna obliterate him on the spot.


Orochi: Hey, Niko, I told you to stop it! Don’t talk like that.

Orochi: Anyway, if you guys are planning to stay in the area for a bit, then how about staying with us in our cave?

Krone: ...Is there a place to sleep?

Orochi: It’s not a very luxurious place, but it’s easy to live in back there.

Dolly: By “back there”, do you mean the graveyard?

Orochi: Yeah… We don’t want to abandon it.

Burgess: ...Got it. Thank you for being so generous. Could you lead the way?

Orochi: Sure. Let’s move as quickly as possible. It’s gonna be night soon, and I’d like to avoid any encounters with the beasts.
