Don't bother me!
What's your problem?!
You're bothering the other passengers if you act like a jerk.
Shut up!
No, you shut up!
What?
Come on, stop it.
Cut me some slack.
Shut up!
What?
Hey!
Huh?
Is that so?
Something stinks here.
Don't touch me!
How uncool.
What are you doing?
You?
Have we met before?
Bastard.
Transform.
How is Tagami Shikei doing?
He can't move yet.
Just like you wanted, I have strengthened a function of your weapon as a catalyst.
Thank you, Bishop Aragami.
Could you explain that new mission to me?
In the next battle I'm planning to open a Zadan.
Because my lack of experience caused Itsuki and Tagami Shikei to get hurt.
We should worry about one man capable of eliminating a Contracted Priest's work.
I'm going to send Isaki to the area as a new defender.
But, there is more.
I would like you to send Bishop Sougi there, too.
Understood.
The Great Bishop is also worried about that.
Vice Great Bishop, I have something to ask you.
It is still uncertain who shot Akasha...
And there is a rumor that...
...the Kougon-cult allows several priests to give the death penalty to even humans, so I was wondering if...
Buddha's teachings tell us...
...that there is no way to kill a man.
It must have been five years.
One day a powerful Corpse appeared and caused a rampage.
They started a punitive expedition.
Akasha was in that punitive expedition too.
We thought it was just an normal fight.
But soon we lost touch with the expedition.
What the backup priests who rushed over there saw that day...
...was only one surviving Contracted Priest and his defeated Shikabane Hime.
He was standing embracing the remaining half of his Shikabane Hime's body.
They saw the hellish eyes of Akasha.
After investigating, nobody understood what happened that day.
Soon after I was suspended from the investigation.
But...
One week later.
He murdered his own Shikabane Hime, killed many priests and stole the Sutra.
And I heard he appeared frequently here and there.
I don't know why,
but I thought there was no wonder he did those things.
Are you sympathizing with a man who murdered his own Shikabane Hime?
Yes?
This is the Partenon.
Master?
Is that you, Oori?
What's the matter?
Sign: Kendo Dojo.
I'm sorry to bother you.
My brother isn't feeling well.
I wondered if it's possible to get the day off.
That's all right.
There aren't any clients anyway.
Yes.
I hope his wounds aren't too bad.
Are you all right?
It's nothing really.
Hope he gets well soon.
Strange.
I can't remember telling him he got hurt.
Did someone get hurt?
Just my brother.
By the way.
What is it that you want to show me?
Think carefully before you speak.
It got in my side!
A blog?
Yeah.
Flag: Victory Taikai High School
We went to the same kendo club in middle school.
You got wounded again?!
I fell off my bike while delivering the newspapers.
So your friend wrote that blog?
Y...Yeah.
He stopped coming to school in the second year though.
He dropped out of school?
There was a dumb senpai tormenting his underlings.
Huh?
This seems like a novel, not a blog.
It used to be a diary about his video games.
And the teacher picked on him every day.
The blog turned weird from that day on.
Birth?
It's normal that the people from the kendo club, my parents or relatives couldn't understand me.
Now I'm just drowning in my own pity.
It is me who has been chosen, not them.
I'll use this power for the sake of this world.
A senpai from the kendo club died recently.
Did he bully you guys?
I heard he got hit by a train.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but...
I tried to contact Mitsuyoshi, this blog's writer, but I didn't get any answer.
Why are you telling me this?
Oori?
Inuhiko talked to you about Corpses before right?
You know, the rumor about people who die but don't want to, and turn into monster called a Corpse.
It may be just a myth, but in the temples they talk about stuff like that.
I know nothing about that!
It's not good to believe such things.
You're right.
And Mitsuyoshi couldn't possibly be dead.
That guy...
...writing the blog must surely have turned into a Corpse after dying of electrocution.
But he hasn't realized it yet.
Why did you lie?
I lied in the same way as my brother did about my wounds and about Corpses.
But that was to protect my friends.
But you're just a normal human too.
I'll leave the Corpses to my brother and Hoshimura-san.
There is nothing I can do.
It's just like you said.
I involved Keisei for my own convenience.
But that's because...
Not because you want to go to heaven, right?
Probably.
I don't know what Keisei told you.
I am looking for the Corpses that murdered me and my family.
I am here only to kill those Corpses.
So don't misunderstand.
We are no heroes or protectors of justice.
If you stay with us, someday you...
...and Keisei will die.
But...
Hey, there is one more thing I'd like to ask you.
Hoshimura-san, are you my brother’s...
...girlfriend?
She sure scared me.
Hoshimura-san never tolerates anything.
I wasn't able to talk about that blog.
Are you dead?
Mitsuyoshi?
I remember him.
By the way, you're making a pass?
No.
I just wanted to know about Mitsuyoshi-kun.
I understand, I understand.
What is it, priest?
Do you want some money for the offering box?
Sit on it, you troublemakers.
Bastard!
Isaki-san!
Let's get out of this dangerous place.
Don't give me orders.
What did you find out after talking to those fools?
Isaki-san.
Call me Shuugodai-sama.
Note: Shuugodai is a guardian of a particular area.
Until Tagami Shikei's wounds are healed, I'll be Shuugodai-sama.
It's our chance to get promoted.
Do you understand?
Shuugodai-sama.
Strange taste.
An idiot made a comment in the Corpse's blog.
If he is a Corpse, we must dispose of him at all cost.
We'll kill another three this month.
What does this mean?
You really came?
You must be Mitsuyoshi-kun.
What did you mean when you asked if I was dead?
Nobody will come here.
And we won't cause any trouble here.
So please listen to what I have to say.
That boy is surely...
It’s Tagami Shikei's little brother.
He is getting himself in trouble lately.
The head temple are still suspecting him.
It's a great opportunity.
Let's watch over this.
But...
You must know Sumitori.
Sumi...
tori…
Sumitori was worrying about you.
He said you were writing strange things on your blog.
I bet he would worry about me.
Sumitori was also ignoring me.
Mitsuyoshi-kun?
If you have truly become a hero,
you must find another way of doing things.
Mitsuyoshi-kun?!
I...
Mitsuyoshi-kun!
Transform!
Corpse!
Who are you?
I'm here to destroy Corpses that can't forget this world like you.
I’m a Shikabane Hime!
You too?
In other words, you are evil.
Evil?
I am not what you call a Corpse.
I am a hero who has been granted a new life to do great things.
Minai!
What are you doing?
Attack at once!
Yes, Isaki-san.
I won't tolerate evil.
I won't tolerate those hurting people.
And you, who are trying to kill me, are evil!
Corpses are not allowed to exist.
I am different!
I am justice!
Minai!
It is cursed.
Cursed?
Not only did that Corpse change in something huge and powerful because of his own delusion.
He also has a special ability.
That curse enables him to use telekinesis.
Are you my brother's...
You're in my way!
What's wrong, Minai?!
Please wait!
She's getting hurt more than the Corpse.
At this rate she'll...
Shut up!
If you strained him a little bit longer we could have gotten him in one hit!
You troublemaker!
Stand up, Minai!
Isaki-san!
What's wrong?
Try and attack me!
I don't feel any of your attacks.
I am justice.
You are evil!
Out of the way!
I'll defeat that cursed one!
I get it.
He can reflect the damage he got on the same place of his opponent's body.
Is that your curse?!
Minai!
Don't misunderstand!
We are no heroes or protectors of justice.
If you stay with us, you'll die someday.
You were reckless, Oori-san.
Please rest out here for a while.
Isaki Daisoujou and I will take it from here.
Why do you listen to that man?
Because he is my Contracted Priest
I...
...killed a man.
I was going to die together with him.
But I didn't die.
That is why I am taking this penalty.
Was becoming a Shikabane Hime a punishment?
It's just like that Corpse said.
He is justice.
And maybe we are all evil.
That can't be true.
That Isaki-san wanted to get rid of me, but you came to save me.
That's because I couldn't just stand there and watch.
Thank you.
So here you are.
Minai!
Just like I thought.
Hoshimura-san?
I didn't receive any damage when I attacked its right arm.
I'm glad I'm missing mine.
Why are you here?
The head temple asked about your cell phone.
They wanted to know why you were at the same place as Isaki-san.
Why did you show up again?
So that's why you got worried about me.
Yes.
Thank you, hero.
You're such an idiot.
Who are you shedding those tears for?
Isn't this just one more wounded body in a world of pain?
Congratulate on attaining peace.
