Page 41
Maho: Good-bye...
Maho: Sensei...
Higashi: Take care.

Page 42
Maho: Sob...
Maho: Sob...

Page 43
Maho: In the end, I n...
Maho: Sob...
Maho: Sob...
Maho: Never dared to... confess to him...
Maho: And now...
Maho: I won't ever see him again...
Maho: "Phone-Booth"?

Page 44
Maho: Hello?
Higashi: Ah, Sasaki?
Higashi: Higashiyama speaking.
Maho: Hu?
Maho: Higashiyama-sensei?!
Higashi: Sorry to call you this late...
Higashi: I broke my phone, so I had to call you from a phone-booth.
Maho: Ah...I see.
Higashi: Are your parents there?
Maho: No, I'm alone...
Maho: Why this question?
Higashi: Tell me, will you...
Higashi: Be free, on August 8th?

Page 45
Maho: On the 8th...
Maho: Ah yes, of course!
Maho: Even if I wasn't I would have managed to be!
Higashi: I'd like you to come again with me...
Higashi: At the tombs we visited today.
Maho: Uh?
Higashi: In the forest, near the tombs, I unearthed a terra cotta pot.
Higashi: Problem is, it's a private property, and we'd need to enter discreetly.
Higashi: If it's a huge discovery, I was thinking about informing the city department...

Page 46
Higashi: I wished to do this alone, but it's impossible.
Higashi: I'd like you to help me.
Maho: Ok.
Maho: Damn, it was only for this?
Higashi: But careful, it's searching in a private area, which is obviously illegal.
Higashi: So you musn't tell anyone.
Higashi: Not your parents...
Higashi: or your friend, Gotô Aoi...
Maho: Ok...
Maho: I understand.

Page 47
Higashi: Good, we'll meet...
Higashi: On the 8th, at 1PM, at the Bus station near the tombs.
Higashi: Thank you, good evening.
Maho: So I will be able...
Maho: To meet sensei one last time...
Maho: The Gods offered me this last chance...
Maho: I'm sure of it...
Maho: This time...
Maho: I won't miss this opportunity to confess...

August 8th, Plan execution day.
Higashi: Checkout, please.
Higashi: Thank you very much.
Higashi: I meticulously cut up and threw away all the cards that could identify me, as well as my clothes.

Page 50
Higashi: I got rid of my named-brand glasses and replaced them by no-name junk from the Konbini.
Higashi: For clothes and shoes, I bought generic Chinese ones online, to avoid my nationality to be determined easily.
Higashi: There wasn't anything left that could tell about my real identity.

Page 51
Higashi: What a wonderful weather...
Higashi: Perfect to be murdered!

Page 52
Maho: I'm going to the library.
Maho: I'll be back in the evening.
Mother: Good day.
Maho: What to do...
Maho: My heart is beating so fast!
Maho: It'll be fine!
Maho: Be strong, Maho!
Maho: Hu?

Page 53
Maho: Aoi!
Maho: What's the matter, Aoi?
Maho: Are you feeling sick?
Maho: And by the way, what are you doing in front of my place?

Page 54
Aoi: It's been...
Aoi: A week since I couldn't stop shivering, Poyo.
Maho: What...
Maho: An earthquake again?
Aoi: It's not an earthquake this time, Poyo...
Aoi: Maho...
Aoi: Maho...
Maho: Me?
Maho: What will happen to me?

Page 55
Higashi: Here she is...

Page 56
Higashi: Uh?
Higashi: A... Aoi?
Maho: Sorry...
Maho: But I didn't ask her anything.

Page 57
Maho: Aoi was in front of my place...
Maho: She insisted on following me and she wouldn't listen to reason.
Higashi: Oh, is that so...
Higashi: Oh well, never mind...
Higashi: Let's go?
Maho: Ok.

Page 58
Higashi: Damn, I didn't expect this at all...
Higashi: What to do?
Higashi: Postpone?
Higashi: No...
Higashi: Everything has been planned for me to disappear today.
Higashi: There is no other way...
Higashi: Aoi is going to be her accomplice!

Page 59
Maho: Aoi...
Maho: What was the meaning of what you told me earlier?
Aoi: It's not an earthquake this time, Poyo...
Aoi: Maho...
Aoi: Maho...
Aoi: Run...
Aoi: Run away as far as possible from Higashiyama!

Page 60
Maho: Why should I run away from him?
Maho: She refused to tell me more...
Maho: Sadly, I won't...
Maho: Have another opportunity ever...
Letter: For Higashiyama Sensei

Page 61
Maho: Here?
Maho: What should we do?
Higashi: Well...

Page 62 (I have doubts about this page, because the text is exactly the same as the previous page in French. It must be an error in the edition. Maybe you can find the Japanese original and translate?)
Maho: Here?
Maho: What should we do?
Higashi: Well...

Page 63
Higashi: First, you'll have to kill me...
Higashi: Sasaki Maho...
Higashi: Or rather, Catherine!

Page 64
Maho: Uh?
Maho: What are you saying?
Maho: And who's that Catherine?
Aoi: I told you this teacher was scary...
Aoi: Because he was there that time too...
Maho: That time?

Page 65
Aoi: April, 16th, 2008, at 4:22PM...
Aoi: At Tamakawa's water tower.
Maho: At the water tower...
Maho: You mean when...
Aoi: Yes, when the huge dog...
Aoi: Attacked you, Poyo...

Page 66
Aoi: Right when it bit your leg...
Aoi: I heard...
Higashi: Catherine! (x4)

Page 67
Higashi: Catherine! (x4)
Aoi: Someone yelled this several times from a bush, Poyo...
Aoi: "Catherine! Catherine!"
Aoi: I could only see half a face...
Aoi: But I'm sure it was him.

Page 68
Higashi: How...
Higashi: How can you remember something from that long ago?!
Aoi: But also, on March 8th, 2008...
Aoi: It was him again that came and snatched your handkerchief before running away, Poyo.
Aoi: He was there too, on October 22nd 2009, on the school's sports day, continuously taking pictures of you.
Aoi: On June 12th 2010, when he followed us for 2km, on the way back from school.
Aoi: And lastly, on May 6th 2011, I spotted him, hidden near your building.

Page 69
Maho: Aoi...
Maho: Why didn't you tell me anything until now?
Aoi: Because...
Aoi: When everything came back to me, you were already in love with him.
Maho: Shh.
Higashi: Incredible...
Higashi: How can she remember all this?
Higashi: I didn't know you had such abilities, Aoi...
Higashi: The Savant syndrome?
Higashi: No, seeing your mental skills, it rather looks like an Asperger Syndrome.

Page 70
Higashi: I admit it...
Higashi: I've been watching you for years, Maho...
Higashi: Ever since the murder case!
