I already knew about it...
But I didn't think he was this far from becoming a real man.
Hoshimura...
Makina...
Good morning, Bro.
Hey!
What are you doing?!
Well...
I was just checking on how you were doing.
You're doing great!
What the hell is this?!
It's the proof of my love for you.
Look at all of these Moe Senshi goods and figurines!
There's more.
I've even given you many items that are sold out nowadays!
This is me, that wants his little brother to be happy.
Why don't you decorate your own room with them!?
Go home already!
Do you want to be alone already?
You want to have fun with all these ladies alone, huh?
Like hell I would!
Hey, Oori...
What is it?
Is anything bothering you lately?
No, there isn't.
I should be the one asking that.
You were badly wounded the other day.
You said you fell during some exercises but...
I'll be careful.
You should be careful too.
Eh?
You shouldn't get too exited.
Don't ever show up again!
Perverted bastard.
See you later!
Not again.
You weren't listening to my song.
I was listening.
But I've got to work.
My song is much more important then your job.
Don't forget that.
Aren't you happy that you can listen to my song instead of going to work?
Of course I am happy.
There's no one that doesn't cry from happiness after listening to your songs, Kun-chan.
That's right, isn't it.
I got your phone call!
Isn't it Kenaika?
There are a lot of women that work until they die.
But those who still bring in the big bucks after death are pretty rare.
But can you bring her up in front a crowd?
She says she wants to sing no matter what.
Not unlike that time in Tokyo.
You can count on us if something is wrong.
Yes.
Yes?
Who is this?!
What did you say about Kun?
Just be careful.
They're after you.
What are you talking about?
Are you a stalker?
Shikabane Hime.
One that slaughters Corpses.
Shikabane Hime?
What is a Shikabane Hime?
And who the hell are y�?
Are these all of them?
Yes.
These are all the volumes from ten years ago.
Ouch! Ouch!
Hey you.
Who allowed your lazy ass in my library?
This isn't your library!
The school library is the school representative's property.
What are you looking up?
I heard that the house of a certain Hoshimura family burned down a long time ago.
A fire?
Things like that don't always end up in the newspapers.
I know that, but...
"If you want to die"~
Kun-chan is the greatest!
He disgusts me.
Oori!
You're coming to the free concert today, right?
Oh, that's right.
It's your day off right?
It's Kun-chan in person!
Kun-chan in person!
She's very hot right now.
And even...
I think I'll pass.
I guess I'll go alone then.
"Corpses are filled with nothing else"~
What?
I know why you're looking that up.
It has to do with a girl right?
Why?
Am I mistaken?
Why else would you look something up about a fire?
That's because...
Something bothered me about this.
About the Hoshimuras.
Yes.
Hoshimura?
I'm going out for a while.
It was that day...
...that my brother started coming home wounded.
Disgusting.
What's this all of the sudden?
All of your perverted anime figures and posters are gone.
I moved all of them to a safe place.
Because you were about to throw them away the other day.
Do you think I can talk about work with you after seeing those?
What's this?
Osaki Kun.
She released her second album earlier this week.
But...
She is already dead.
I've heard that she had health problems for a while.
Then earlier this year she collapsed,
and took some time of work saying that she had problems at home.
But in reality, she had heart problems.
Wouldn't the hospitals have said something already?
Some people within the actors bureau are connected to the mafia.
Anyhow...
Her manager must be connected with them.
Is her manager hiding the fact that she is a Corpse?
Together with her comeback, several people have gone missing.
Her new manager, a part time jobber at the television station, the handyman from her mansion.
She hasn't been on TV or had any concerts since the launch of her new album.
They are hiding the fact that she died.
But now she is going to hold a concert in the neighborhood.
If we are able to get to her,
we should be able to dispose of her somehow.
First we must make sure of her true identity.
Excuse me.
I've been called by Osaki Kun's manager's office.
They're renting the locked room on the fifth floor.
It seems to be very crowded there.
Okay.
Why is it crowded?
Is it you who ordered this pizza?
What did you do?
With such a distance?
Are you the one that tried to touch our merchandise?
Look at her cute face.
Stand back!
Stand back now!
How did you know I was coming?
That because they called me.
What does it matter?
Did you come to listen to my song too?
You died.
Yes.
But I want to sing.
That's why I didn't die.
You did die.
And now...
Now!
Don't act recklessly.
You're the one that brought that girl right?
Don't accuse me.
I do blow my nose!
You're Hankami!
It's Kagami! Kagami!
Hanakami, Hanakami!
Everyone stop already.
You're bothering Oori-niichan.
Damn.
No fun at all.
Did you find out anything?
I believe that the Hoshimuras were connected to Keisei's temple.
From the Kougon cult?
She came over to say hello shortly after her father died.
I believe he was Keisei's sempai.
But I never heard about their house being burned down.
Do you have an address?
Why don't you ask Keisei?
You're right, but...
Is this...?
Hey!
Keisei?
I see her!
She's alive?!
She's a monster!
Wait!
Get her!
Watch him closely.
I'm sorry about this.
Please ask my father...
No.
Please ask sir Tagami to report this.
Report it?
Of course the police knows nothing about Corpses.
But if it's up to armed Yakuza's, they can handle it.
Understood.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I'm backing up the girl.
It's our mission.
But I can imagine how much pain you're in, after hurting a normal human being.
I try to understand.
Hey, hey, hey!
Something big is happening!
Ushi?
At the concert!
I told you it starts at ten!
It seems to be some problem between Yakuza gangs.
They say they attacked Kun-chan.
With a gun!
Kun-chan you say?
Some people are saying the attacker was a girl.
It's very crowded around the concert hall.
Anyway it must be over for Kun-chan.
I'll call you again later.
Hosimura Makina?
You read it.
It's the truth.
It's the grave of my family, including mine.
But you are?
We were murdered.
And they've even burned down the temple.
But I got resurrected.
As Shikabane Hime.
If you found out everything you wanted to know now,
never appear in front of me again.
Why?
I want to get to know you.
We are the dead.
We have been hurt.
The living shouldn't be allowed to get near us.
If you get any closer...
Yes?
Are you alright?
How is it?
I'm fine.
I'm hunting it down.
Aren't you hurt?
Who are you talking to?
Don't come near.
Okay?
I wanted to run away through town.
But before I noticed I stranded here.
I used to play hide and seek here when I was a kid.
I got yelled at quite often for it.
Hoshimura-san?
Was that a friend on the phone earlier?
He was right you know.
I was after Osaki Kun.
Is Osaki Kun a Corpse?
What should I do?
I tried to murder an idol.
The police and even the Yakuza should be after me.
But...
I can't leave you alone here.
My brother adopted me when I was three.
My brother told me that he just couldn't let me be.
We don't have the same blood.
But maybe we're alike somehow.
The police have come to the bureau already.
I want to sing.
Of course you will sing.
They're just looking for the people you killed.
I killed no one!
You're right, Kun.
They stopped me from singing.
They stopped me.
They stopped me!
Kun-chan!
What a horrible song.
You can sing that song alone in hell.
You're just a bother for the living.
How rude!
What do you think?
Isn't Kun a strong girl?
Are you okay after seeing such a monster?
Something like that is able to get to the top of this world!
What should we do?
Get out of the building at once.
I'll be alright.
No, you're not!
Your wounds are even worse then before.
Last time I saw you your wounds healed already, but now...
That's because...
She's a Shikabane Hime.
She is connected to a specific person.
As long as that person is close to her...
...the Shikabane Hime can absorb his life energy...
...restore her body and even gain new skills or knowledge.
We call such a person a 'Contracted Priest'.
Bro!
You don't look like you're doing alright.
I told you not to come.
I had to.
After all, I am your Contracted Priest.
Get behind me.
Scatter it to pieces with this.
Bro?
Isn't this a nice song?
I know you wanted to stay and sing.
But you can't sing like this now!
You want to live.
You've got a strong will to keep on singing.
You refused to accept your fate.
Now you've threw away your humanity,
you aren't able to touch people's hearts anymore.
I can understand your suffering.
But your song is just a sad song full of death!
Bro!
This is a plant grown in holy water.
It hurts, doesn't it?
Makina.
The rest is up to you.
The only one able to kill a Corpse is...
The killer of the dead...
Born just for that purpose...
Only Shikabane Hime!
Bro?
Your wounds...
Shikabane Hime is unable to kill human beings.
Even if that person is someone that murdered his own Shikabane Hime.
Even if that person is a betrayer priest.
