v4: Drug and the Dominos (Purchase pt2) + O.O
I really shouldn't be posting so frequently, but... remember the NDS game ending? Well, there shouldn't be any screenshots, but this Japanese site has provided a wonderful (or not, depending) substitute. In case you're wondering, it was part of an April Fool's joke by the artist.

And, to make up for potential brain damage caused by the site, here's more translation! Like in the 1930 incident, the drug changes hands

Ahh sorry 'bout that ;) Pity it's just an April Fool's joke, isn't it?

...

And sorry again. You guessed it, I've another question... near the end of v4, Maiza talks about 不死鳥, except I'm not sure if Narita uses furigana, because the phoenix wasn't worshipped in Phoenicia.

“Oh! It’s an .”

. He had heard this word before, but he couldn’t recall where from.

“It’s the deity worshipped in ancient Phoenicia. At first it didn't look like a bird, but later mixed in with many other holy birds to become the way it looks today; it’s also known as the phoenix.”

Maiza used an old form of phoenix, which is spelt phoínix, and according to wiki, it does say that "... is a mythical sacred firebird in ancient Phoenician mythology, and in myths derived from it"?

Ahh I see, I see, thanks so much! :) Was going slightly nuts trying to find a god that matched it. And I skimmed a whole slew of archaelogical articles and came away with a very confused picture, like, the phoenix was originally a winged, fire disc symbol that was mistaken for a bird, or it originally referred to some Phoenician bird, or some Phoenician deity, or the bennu bird, or a symbol for child sacrifice (!). >.> Yeah.

Haha there's a lot more Huey x Elmer on that site... mostly in the 4-koma section. Particularly amused by the way Beriam blackmailed Huey XD

I have absolutely no Japanese, but my Chinese is vaguely horrific enough to get through a few. *just tried to get through some of Chapter 4 and god in heaven brain wants to melt* Should've paid more attention in all those classes...
