Yes, hence my sarcastic cough. XD Anyhow, more info from newspapers; I skimmed through all the excerpts in each chapter now. They're all from the Shuburke Newspaper, it would seem.

September 2, 609


 * Even after she's been dead for several decades, the legendary writer, Yukina Freesis, continues to be loved for her work, including that of "Flower of the Plateau", inspired by the life of Mikulia Greeonio.


 * Julia Abelard is definitely the mayor of Toragay (Of course the town of all red is governed by her.... Of course)


 * She's also famed for her work in "(The) Daughter of Evil", inspired by Riliane Lucifen d'Auriche in EC 500, and "The Duke and the Four Women", inspired by the Venomania Event in EC 136.


 * Pere Noel is suspected on the attack on the Deputy Mayor in Aceid on August 15.


 * The World Police Elphegort branch head, Thomas Ackerman (トーマス＝アッカーマン), stated on August 30 that they planned to adress Pere Noel and it's leader "I. the Santa Claus".


 * The deputy mayor that was injured in the incident, Mr. Banner (バーナー), is on the road to recovery.


 * There's a diva/singer named "Rin Chan/Chang/Tian" (リン チャン), who is largely popular in the Lucifenian Republic; fans flocked to get a glimpse of her in Aceid's Southern District. She'll be attending a concert in Aceid on September 10.

September 16, 609


 * Thomas Ackerman announced on September 4 that they discovered Marquis Caspar Blankenheim's corpse on August 31 within his home (in bed).


 * Caspar had respiratory problems due to his excessive love for smoking and it's believed this was his cause of death.


 * In response to this, on November 6, the governments of Lucifenia, Marlon, and Elphegort have issued a joint statement to refrain from the abuse of tobacco, which has been coming from the New World. The Freesis Foundation and the aristocracy are strongly against this.


 * Here's a headline for you: "Now, kneel to me!" -- Rin [Whatever]'s Concert is a great success!


 * Rin displayed all 39 of her songs, two of which recieved an encore, and she was met with great applause for her resonating "Now, kneel to me!" line.


 * A huge catch of Ziz Tiama off the west coast 90% of it is being exported to Levianta.


 * The Freesis Fishery Association, on September 7, had caught three times more ziz tiama than usual


 * Ziz Tiama, popularly called Aotako (アオタコ or "Blue Octopi) in Elphegort, is almost never eaten as food so 90% of it is being exported to Levianta.


 * Of the remaining 10%, half is used as livestock feed; the other half is expected to be sold as pets for some aristocracy.

September 30, 609


 * Soldiers discover Dr. Marx Felix, father-in-law of Marquis Caspar Blankenheim who died the other day, in his home, unconcious, on September 19. As of September 29, he still hasn't awoken from critical condition. The world police plan to examine him carefully.


 * On Septermber 28, all of Toragay attended the funeral of Caspar Blankenheim. His lifelong friend, Marquis Cle Mence of Nianemu (ニアネムのクレー＝メンス) and his majesty, King Soil Elphen, also attended. Margarita served as the chief mourner.


 * Rin and a ロバク (Robaku) are mentioned in a third article; not sure if the second one is a person.


 * It seems it's some kind of scandal type of thing; a "N A" (real name undisclosed) who is supposedly her former manager says some stuff. It seems to be about her not being the actual singer when she performs concerts or something.

October 14, 609


 * On October 6, a merchant of the resident Rolled city, Tosy Corpa (トシ＝コーパ) has been murdered (stabbed in the back) in his home and Rin seems to be kidnapped; she's disappeared and Corpa was her guardian.


 * Caspar is getting a memorandum done in honor of his life and achievements as Marquis; the article is cut off after saying "On August 30" he, the "eldest son of Marquis Karl Blankenheim" and then it's the next chapter.

October 28, 609


 * 24 deaths of unknown causes occuring on October 17; I think a lot of them were children or staff members.


 * The three articles included keep on "following up" on one another regarding the incident; the world police investigating and the ast article says they ban travel between Aceid and Toragay due to this mysterious "disease" plaguing the town.


 * Due to the circumstances, the second iteration of the memorandum remembering Caspar is currently put on hold.

November 11, 609


 * Toragay's been annhilated. On November 8, the world police announced that all the inhabitants of Toragay had died. The total number of the deceased number over 300 so far.


 * Rin is believed to have been spotted in Aceid before going missing again.


 * The coverage on the late Caspar Blankenheim has been cancelled due to the circumstances.

My personal preference is "Rin Chan" for obvious name referencing reasons. If I get this all transcribed, I could confirm more details about these events. Either way, I think all this is very revealing.
