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.

Takuma Kurebayashi is the Devil's child.
There was a boy who was called the Devil's child.
People kept disappearing around him,
even though he had nothing to do with it.
In reality, it was just the townsfolk using Hell Link to exact revenge.
And they were trying to blame Takuma Kurebayashi
for all the disappearances.
But their evil plan hit a snag.
The True Hell Girl Hajime Shibata But their evil plan hit a snag.
A young detective figured out their sinister designs.
When he did...
Why you!
This detective's conspiring with the Devil's child
and trying to erase us all!
Sometime after that,
the detective rescued his younger sister and Takuma,
who had been caught by the same people and were about to be killed.
Now, once the truth was brought to light, it was all going to be over...
Or it was supposed to be.
But then...
Bro?! Bro?!
The detective was banished.
Bro?! Bro?! Bro! Bro! The detective was banished.
Bro?! Bro?! Bro! Bro!
Dyeing Indigo
Hotaru...
I'm sorry, Takuma.
But there's no way around it anymore...
I have no choice but to do this...
No choice but to have you disappear...
But I won't leave you all alone.
I'll come soon after, too.
Takuma Kurebayashi Send I'll come soon after, too.
Takuma Kurebayashi Send
I'm so sorry.
D-Don't!
Hotaru!
Takuma Kurebayashi Send Hotaru!
You're sure?
It won't end as long as he's around.
Is it his fault?
It is!
If he would just go away,
the cycle of hatred will stop.
Do you think so?
It will stop!
Give me the straw doll!
Miss...
Ichimokuren.
Are you sure about this, Miss? He's...
If you really want retribution...
You don't need to tell me! I know!
I'm going to Hell, too, right?
I'll be right behind you.
Your grievance has been heard.
Candy. Want it?
It's tasty.
Stop that.
Poor thing. And you didn't even do anything!
Something like this happened once before, remember?
Even though you hadn't done anything.
Help me...
But...
Takuma...
I'm coming.
When you think of how the Miss must feel, it's heartbreaking...
Is this also part of what they call "fate"?
If it is, it's beyond cruel.
By now, that boy's already...
She wasn't able to banish him.
Kikuri?
She wasn't able to banish him? What do you mean by that?
Hey, you don't mean...
Ai ended up turning the boat around.
The boat? Really?
So, what about the Miss?!
Where's the Miss?!
No idea!
That hurts!
What?
Hurry...
Huh?
What's over there?
Go.
But...
I'm fine. Hurry...
O-Okay.
What could be over here?
This is...
Hotaru!
Hotaru! Hotaru! Hotaru!
Hotaru! Hotaru!
Oh, hey!
Let go, Baldy!
Now, tell us!
Where's the Miss?! What happened to her?!
I said, I don't know!
There's no way you don't know! I said, I don't know!
There's no way you don't know!
Tell us, Kikuri!
Let go!
You wish to know?
You're...
So that's it.
Mr. Boss Man of Hell, what's become of the Miss?
Ai returned Takuma Kurebayashi to this world.
As she has turned her back on the law,
Ai's soul and the souls of her loved ones
will wander aimlessly in darkness for all eternity.
H-Hey, hold on a second!
You could just let that one boy slide!
The Miss has done her duty all this time for 400 years!
She's stifled her emotions,
responding to even the unreasonable grievances, without fail
It must have been so long and so hard for her...
But the Miss has persevered!
Is it still not enough?!
How many acts of vengeance does she have to carry out
before you release her?!
Release her!
She's done enough, hasn't she?!
Her work as Hell Girl is done.
Ai will also be returned to this world.
Then...
You're releasing the Miss?
No, that's not what he meant.
Hold on.
You can't do that...
You can't do that!
Wanyuudou...
What did he mean?
If the Miss is returned to this world now,
her body will be subjected to 400 years of time all at once...
You don't mean...
No way! You're kidding, right?!
Ichimokuren!
Watch over her. Watch over Ai.
That's his, isn't it?
There's no one here.
It hasn't been long since the detective was banished.
They couldn't have gotten that far.
You guys search this area.
We'll try going on ahead.
Got it.
So, it's still not over...
Where are you going?
Don't do this.
I've held myself in check all this time...
Because I shouldn't hold grudges against people...
Because my father always told me so...
But...
I'm not going to hold back anymore.
Wait!
Takuma...
You found Takuma?
Where?!
Got it.
Follow him without letting him know you're there.
They found him?
It appears he's headed back to his own house.
Let's go!
What are you doing, Dear?! Knock it off already!
It won't go away...
I can't get the mark to go away...
Dear...
Spineless bastard...
There she is!
Miss!
Look at the condition you're in! What are you doing?!
Where are you trying to get to?
Out of my way...
What?
Please get out of my way.
Miss...
Pardon me. Please let me pass.
What's going on?
What's going on here, Wanyuudou?
So it's all vanished...
What?
The Miss doesn't recognize us anymore.
Doesn't recognize us?
What do you mean, she doesn't recognize us?!
That's right! It's as if you're saying her memory's...
It can't be...
This is the Hell we've been sentenced to.
Our ties have been severed.
All we can do now is steadfastly watch over the Miss....
No...
Miss...
Takuma!
You're trying to burn down our house?!
What a bastard!
Why you!
Stop this! Do you know what'll happen if you do that?!
I do know! We're all going to Hell!
You really are the Devil's child!
You all are!
You all... did it for selfish reasons...
You're the Devil! All of you!
Takuma!
Now, calm down!
Yes, you're right. It's exactly as you say.
We're all in the wrong.
We were wrong, too.
I apologize.
Stay back!
We won't do anything more.
I swear it.
Stay back!
All right!
The lighter! Put out the lighter!
Why you!
You bastard!
Damn brat...
We should've killed you earlier!
You'll pay for this!
Die!
Stop!
Hell Girl...
Why are you here?!
Did someone summon her?!
Is she going to banish one of us?!
You must not... kill this boy...
Come to your senses...
Miss...
You fool! Keep your eyes on her!
But...
Watch.
Ai Enma...
Come, let us go.
There's no way I'm going to Hell!
Ai!
Miss!
The Miss is trying to find the answer right now...
Stop...
Stop!
Get up...
Please, get up!
Come on!
Why?
Why did this have to...
Why would you do such a terrible thing?!
With this...
...it will end.
What?
With this...
Ai...
It's done.
So this was the answer that you chose, huh, Ai?
You did good.
After that, the conversations that the detective had recorded...
...were released to the media,
and Takuma Kurebayashi was proven innocent.
Hasue Land for Sale
But the folks who tried to pin the guilt on that boy
Land for Sale But the folks who tried to pin the guilt on that boy
Land for Sale hastily left town and their whereabouts are unknown now.
Naturally, no media coverage took the matter of Hell Link seriously,
It's no parking here, you scumbag! Naturally, no media coverage took the matter of Hell Link seriously,
Shuddup! Naturally, no media coverage took the matter of Hell Link seriously,
Shuddup! so it was "a case of mass insanity in a developing residential community".
That was the end of that.
Well, that's about what you'd expect.
Was this place always so dreary?
Even if we wait here like this,
I guess the Miss isn't coming back anymore...
Yeah...
You three...
Ai said, "Thank you," you know.
Thank you...
"Thank you", huh?
It's not even like her.
No kidding.
Well, I'm going.
Me, too.
Guess I'll treat myself to a tour of this transient world.
If you're going to say that, then it's a tour of Hell.
Dad!
Congratulations on getting out of the hospital!
Thank you, Takuma.
Did you go visit her yet today?
Nope, I'm about to go now.
Get well soon.
I'm sorry about all this.
Nah, don't worry about it.
Weren't you lonely?
Nope. Anyway, are you okay? Does it hurt at all?
Oh, I'm fine.
Hey, what do you want to do for dinner tonight?
What should we do? How about some steak?
Oh, sounds good.
