A wavering wraith of karmic retribution Art by Kyosai Kawanabe
A wavering wraith of karmic retribution
on a wandering path of wretched fate.
Thoroughly despised and fractured,
a set of two mirrors facing one another.
Coming forth from the darkness where time intersects,
your grievance shall be avenged.
Hell Girl Two Mirrors Tell me what time it is right now
Hell Girl Two Mirrors Say it's a dream, hold me
The city in ruins looks familiar
Inside that photographic collection I flipped through with you
Why am I alone all alone?
Right away, right away, I realize it's a dream
I run through the rubble, I kick something
Searching for the exit that will wake me from the dream
I have to hurry, I have to hurry
I can hear your voice from somewhere
You can only see eternity in the flow of time
Tell me what time it is right now
Say it's a dream, hold me
My heart's on the verge of becoming still, make it stir again
Please
You're next to me
Probably having a different dream
I don't need the sun
Right now, I miss your smile
Your grievance shall be avenged. Send
Your grievance has been heard.
D-Don't tell me you...
Why you!
Someone's under suspicion and getting hurt because of your Hell Link!
Stop this right away!
That is not my decision to make.
Adrift
This place is...
Takuma!
Mr. Tsuyuki, you're sure this man's in cahoots with Takuma, right?
No doubt about it.
If we had left him be, we would have been in danger.
Th-This is happening because you just had to use that Hell Link!
What are you saying?
When you get down to it, I did it for you, remember?
Hasue, you're already as culpable as we are, you know.
That's right.
If you think you're getting out of this alone, you'd better think again.
They're starting to band together in an odd way.
When people get like that, they're finished.
Did you find him?
No, the house is empty, too.
Damn it!
What's happened? What should I do?
I don't know where Bro is, either.
Takuma!
Hotaru, where are we going?
We'll talk later.
Umihashi Police Dormitory
Go in.
Okay. Go in.
Okay.
Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?
Why are you helping me?
You're not the one in the wrong. It's Ai Enma.
It's because this thing called Hell Link exists that everyone's gone crazy.
You've decided to believe me?
Because I saw it.
What?
Anyway, we need to have my bro prove your innocence.
Oh, um... Anyway, we need to have my bro prove your innocence.
Oh, um...
It's no use. I can't get through.
Hotaru? What's up?
What? Your brother?
No, I haven't seen him.
All right, I'll try asking everyone else, too.
Hey, you!
What are you taking your sweet time for?!
Get your butt out there!
Sorry! I'll talk to you later. Bye.
I'm sorry! I'll be right there!
You're so slow!
Your grievance has been heard.
The True Hell Girl Hajime Shibata
So Bro was looking into it, too.
Into Hell Girl...
Hotaru...
Um, about that detective...
He was taken away.
What?
So it's dangerous for us to stay here.
Here we go.
What?
Watch me.
Come on!
But...
It'll be okay! Hurry!
Good job.
I found him! He's over here!
We'll be fine now. We'll be safe here.
I used to hide here are lot when we played hide-and-seek in grade school.
And no one ever found me, to the very end.
Weren't you scared? Being all alone?
I was scared.
I won't leave you all alone.
I don't know anymore.
What?
Maybe I really am the Devil's child
and that's why misfortune befalls everyone around me.
That's not true.
That's not true at all.
You haven't used Hell Link
and you haven't banished anyone to Hell.
You're absolutely not the Devil's child.
Really?
Really.
I'm sure my bro thinks so, too.
But he got attacked.
It'll be fine. My bro's strong.
No way he'll lose to bastards like that.
He'll come save us for sure.
Damn it!
Where the hell did they go?
Oh, what in the world should we do now?
We erase Takuma, no matter what it takes.
Erase him?!
One brat like him should be easy enough.
What shall we do about the detective?
We can't just leave him like this...
In that case, let us do it once and for all...
Yes...
Wanyuudou this time, huh?
They sure do work us hard, the folks in this town...
It's getting cold, huh? Come closer.
I hope your father gets well soon.
Yeah.
I had no idea...
I guess Hell Girl went through some really tough stuff...
"There was once an ill-fated young girl."
"The girl was persecuted for unfounded reasons,"
"and her fellow villagers..."
"...claimed the righteous cause of protecting their way of life,"
"and forced the girl into an impossible situation."
"And finally, the girl..."
"...lost her life at the hands of the foolish villagers."
"One could say she fell victim to how rural society was back then."
"At times, the group can cause individuals to behave irrationally."
"This negative group aspect of human psychology..."
"...remains unchanged to this day."
So, Hell Girl was all alone, too.
But it's still something that has no business existing!
That thing called Hell Link...
Yeah.
Are you sad, Hotaru?
Yes, maybe I am.
I'll protect you. For sure.
Come on, we should get some rest.
Okay.
Ai, dear.
Is something the matter?
I'm just a little tired.
Umihashi Shrine
It's snowing.
Hotaru, it's snowing.
So this is where they are.
Hey!
Forget about her.
More importantly...
Right.
Why do you do such things?
Kikuri did nothing wrong.
This is how it should be!
There he is!
The Devil's child!
You're wrong! He's no Devil's child!
Bring them out.
Hotaru...
It'll be okay... It'll be okay.
Stupid girl.
Wh-What are you going to do with us?
We're going to do away with you, of course.
As long as you two go away, we can go back to our old lives.
You two are in our way!
Wh-Whatever! If you do this and my bro finds out,
y-you won't get away with it!
I imagine so.
What?
Now, get in!
Hotaru!
You, too!
Hey!
Quick dragging your feet! Hurry up and do it, Dear!
It's sickening.
Don't you think this is still going too far?
What are you saying after everything we've done?
That's right. Get a grip!
But we don't have to go so far as to kill them...
It's too late! There's no helping it!
That's right. We have no choice but to do this.
You must know that, too.
Help us, Bro...
Hotaru...
Now, get to it!
N-No!
Don't take it personally.
No!
Help!
N-No!
Help! Help!
Bro! Help!
Hotaru! Bro! Help!
Don't rock the boat! Bro! Help!
Don't rock the boat!
S-Someone! Someone!
We're going to sink! S-Someone! Someone!
Someone, help us!
Someone! Someone!
Bro! Bro, help us!
Someone!
What was that?
Stop this! Do you even know what you people are doing?!
Go!
Dear!
We're done for...
Someone help us. Hurry...
Bro, please come quickly...
Hotaru, you can't move! Bro, please come quickly...
Hotaru, you can't move! Bro... Bro, come quick...
Bro... Bro, hurry...
Hey, are you okay?!
Bro!
Bro! Bro!
Bro!
Bro! Bro! Bro!
All right, calm down. Bro! Bro! Bro!
All right, calm down.
Hey!
Hang in there!
Bro! Bro! Bro!
Are you hurt?
What about you, Takuma?
No...
Bro!
There, there.
You two really hung in there like champs!
Everything's going to be fine now.
I'll report everything that's happened to the police.
I was so scared.
I thought I was going to die.
You can rest easy, too, Takuma.
It may take a while,
but we'll clear up the misunderstandings one by one.
Yes, sir. Thank you very much.
Once we've warmed up at the station, we'll go see your father.
Yes, sir.
I bet your father will be really happy.
Yeah.
Bro?!
Bro?! Bro?!
Bro!
What is this?! No way! What is this?!
Bro?! Bro?!
No way! Where are you?! Where are you, Bro?!
Hotaru! No way! Where are you?! Where are you, Bro?!
Hotaru! Bro! Bro, where are you?!
You did the right thing, Dear.
Now, you've really become one of us.
Hotaru...
I'm sorry, Takuma.
I'm sorry.
But there's no way around it anymore...
I have no choice but to do this...
No choice but to have you disappear...
What?
Takuma Kurebayashi Send
I'm so sorry.
No empty dreams, no eternal lament
The luster of the moon
Illuminates my soul
The dance of the fiery flowers guide my way
The entangling songs of errors
Bring me heartache
Placing my hand in the endless river, let it wash away
The words that tormented me, dyeing them indigo
Even if it's the right thing to do,
there are things you don't want to acknowledge.
Even if it's how everything can be resolved...
Even if it's the answer that the Miss has arrived at...
We don't care if Hell Girl disappears.
We're fine with Ai Enma going away.
But we want you to stay with us!
Miss!
