Disclaimers: I don't own this series. Don't distribute, but feel free to use in scanlations. I'd appreciate it if you'd credit me though :)
Also, please do NOT post on any pay-to-view websites. Only Yūsei Matsui and publishers deserve to make any money from this. Thanks!
Translated from the Chinese scans. Once the Japanese raws are posted I'll fix any discrepancies. Updated version can be found at MangaHelpers, including several missing lines.
Some notes:
- Early chapters had Aya calling Yako 'Ms. Detective', then it changed to 'Ms. Investigator'. I went with detective, but feel free to change.
- Also, Aya calls Neuro 'assistant', so I'll go with that too.

Document heading: To Katsuragi Yako
Honjou's letter: If you have found and are reading this...
Honjou's letter: Then you'll have already seen my true face
And I've probably already committed suicide
[Page 10]
Honjou's letter: First, I must apologise
Honjou's letter: For all that I've done to you all...
Honjou's letter: In particular for drawing that police officer into the trap
Honjou's letter: Then
Honjou's letter: Next, I plan to record something
Honjou's letter: The information you have always been looking for
Honjou's letter: ...Which is also
Honjou's letter: Information that is definitely disadvantageous to that man
T/N: 大人, a very respectful means of referring to someone. Something like 'lord'. Suggestions? ^^;; Kind of brain dead
[Page 11]
Honjou's letter: While I was alive
I had no way of breaking free from my loyalty to that man

Honjou's letter: But still
Thank you
Honjou's letter: ...Honjou Fumio
Yako: ...Uncle
[Page 13]
Aya: .....
Miss Detective
Aya: This person...
Has also 'kept' very many things for you
T/N: the verb has been bracketed in the previous chapter as well--
Yako: ...Ms. Aya
Aya: I can relax now that I've seen this
Aya: ...Then
I should head back too
Aya: I can't let the prison get too worried
Yako: ...Wait, Ms. Aya
You broke out of prison just for this?!
Yako: And...
How did you know I was troubled?
[Page 14]
Aya: That assistant
Came to listen to me sing
T/N: literally, 'assistant-san', but I need the Jap raws for confirmation
Yako: ...Neuro?
Aya: You're asking me... to sing
Aya: I can sing, but Mr. Assistant
Even if my songs can touch humans' brains
It has no effect whatsoever on yours
Neuro: Doesn't matter
Sing
[Page 15]
Neuro: ...Hmph
That's enough
Neuro: As I thought, I still can't understand
Neuro: Humans
Aya: ...
SFX: batan (door closing)
[Page 16]
Yako: ...That was all there was?
Aya: That was all
It lasted about two, three minutes
Aya: That was all there was [to the encounter], but it's enough for me to tell
Aya: That a great rift has developed...
Between you and your assistant
Aya: ...But
Your assistant is also trying...
To understand humans, to understand you
Yako: ...!!
Aya: Go back, Miss Detective
[Page 17]
Aya: Although sometimes the difference in species makes understanding difficult
...But I believe you are still the best partners [for each other]
Aya: I wanted to tell you about this...
So I skipped out of jail for a little
T/N: 'came out' a little? Jap raws
Yako: ... But...
...But if that's the case, Ms. Aya, you...
Aya: I only have to serve another 2, 3 years of prison
Aya: If it's for the sake of an important friend...
No matter needs doing, it's all worth the trouble
Aya: Whether it's me, or that homeless uncle, it's the same for everyone.
[Page 18]
Aya: All that's left is for what ought to return, return to the place where they belong
Aya: That goes for you too,
Miss Detective
Yako thoughts: I sincerely, truly felt that---
Yako: Ms. Aya
Thank you...
Yako thoughts: Meeting with this person
Meeting with everyone
Yako thoughts: Was really wonderful
[Page 19]
Yako thoughts: I had to return to the office
Yako thoughts: There were still many things I had to do
Yako thoughts: ...But, fact is...
SFX: go x 8 (atmosphere, nervousness, fear, ominous drumming, what have you :D)
Yako thoughts: What came next was really the biggest trial of all
Yako thoughts: Finding a way of apologising to him
Yako thoughts: That won't make him too angry!!
Text: A battle that cannot be completely resolved by simple 'Sorry' is about to begin?!
SFX: Go x 6 (doom, anger, etc.)
