Mysterious Man in Black Appears at Night!
Continuing Mysterious Incidents!!
Superhuman Ressentiment Preview
It's based on current events, you know.
You want to know about him, don't you?
That's right, Kagura Tatsuo is alive.
Revenge...or the Wrath of God!?
Not in rumor, but in reality.
Starring Kagura Tatsuo
Do you want to see, Mikogami Hayato?!
The Skeleton Man's true form!
Can you
reach
the truth?
Hey, you awake?
I'm opening it.
Not here...
Went to stake out Byakureikai~
What's this?
Going out all of a sudden...
Voice of God
O small being, hear the Voice of God.
And take heed.
Be thou not proud.
Be not proud...
I chased you for this?!
I'll cut out the added 20KHz.
This waveform is the question.
It's hidden in the ambient noise.
"Voice of God," huh?
Sixth Night - Banquet of the Death Gods
As I thought, he's alive.
Kaguro Tatsuo is alive...and trying to take revenge on us.
Now, now, Kusaka-san. Kagura Tatsuo definitely died.
Along with his father.
I know that better than anyone.
Can you really say that, Haniwa-kun?
Did you really make certain back then?
A-are you saying you can't trust me?!
But, why now...?
It's a warning.
He's doing it as a warning to those who stole his father's research!
What are you saying now?! We're all in this together, aren't we?!
If that's the case, wouldn't he first go after the one who was directly responsible?
So even the man feared as the "demon police chief" is afraid of a ghost.
I-I'm not...!
Next is to see how Brain Gear will move...
BG...
The Gagou are officially a joint project with them, after all.
Yeah...but they're tough to deal with...
That's right!
It's not a good idea to go against them!
Brain Gear will probably intervene soon.
However, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Out relationship with them is quite favorable.
But, Kuroshio-san!
Even with their help, it's not certain that Gagou information won't be leaked to the public!
There's information about a dog having entered the town, isn't there?
T-that's...!
It seems the Mayor is tired.
You've worked hard, haven't you, Kusaka-kun.
Ku...Kuroshio-san!
Let's go, Mayor.
Well, I'll be leaving too.
Please leave the matter of the dog to me.
Guests are leaving. Please see them to the front entrance.
Of course, sir.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Don't you think we should tell him what's really going on?
I don't like dogs, after all.
Hear the Voice of God.
Hear the Voice of God and take heed. Be thou not proud.
Even though the war is over, I'm being chased by ghosts from the continent.
I don't want to be involved.
But seriously, when did you become such a workaholic?
Is it bad?
It's not that.
I was just wondering what happened all of a sudden.
Ah, you know! I just thought it'd be bad if I didn't start seriously going after a scoop!
I'm going for a Pulitzer, after all.
I can't just sit around!
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Nonono!
Nothing at all!
Well, whatever.
By the way.
Usami said something interesting before he died.
What?
That Kagura Tatsuo is alive.
What the hell was that?!
It's him!
Geez, what's going on?!
It's him, that skeleton bastard!
It's me, Kusaka.
It's him. The monster's appeared!
I'm being chased! Help me!
No, this isn't a joke!
Stop it!!
You damn murderer!
Show me who you are!
Hayato!!
Hayato!
Are you okay, Hayato?!
Yeah...it just grazed me...
You were too slow, stupid.
The victim's identity has been confirmed.
Ootomo City Mayor, Kusaka Takeumi, 52.
How many times to I have to say it?! The Skeleton Man killed him!
Who'd believe a fairytale like that?
Why were you at the scene anyway?
Like I said, it was a coincidence.
Who the hell would get in a car chase by coincidence?
You blockhead!
Hayato's injured, you know?
In any case, you're important witnesses!
The two in the back are to be cut loose.
What?! On whose orders?!
Uncle Kuroshio...
Damn it.
Anyway, just let them go at the hospital quickly.
Shit!
Terror At Midday, The Mayor is Murdered
Police Make Firm Promise to Capture Culprit
Do you think Mikogami-san is alright?
Don't worry.
He wouldn't die even if you killed him.
I'm afraid...
It's alright. The Lord will protect you.
We are trying as hard as we can to find and capture the villain who murdered the mayor.
You piece of trash.
The man called Mikogami Hayato was released from the hospital today.
However, Mikogami-san unfortunately left without responding to our questions...
You're damn right I did.
What kind of journalist lets himself be interviewed?
But, hey, we're getting close to some amazing info.
The biggest scoop of the century is only a step away!
Without taking even one picture?
It can't be helped, since you've got no proof!
Sideburns! You've been following us, haven't you!
What are you talking about? It's just a coincidence.
That's your specialty, isn't it?
Ah, that so.
Later.
And I thought I'd treat you to lunch to celebrate your release...
I'm full!
Are they monsters...?
I can't write this off as an expense, can I?
Well, what do you want to know?
I told about everything I saw at the station.
The Skeleton Man did it all?!
Who the hell would believe that nonsense?!
Anyway, leaving that aside...
I did some checking up on you.
Before he joined Ootomo, your old man worked at Kagura Pharmaceuticals.
Kagura, of course, was the company that laid the town's foundation.
Is that true?!
What? He's your old man, isn't he?
You really didn't know?
I was adopted, after all.
Well, anyway...
The real question is why Kuroshio is covering for you.
Why do you accomodate that man to such an extent?
Mikogami is useful.
Without my saying anything, he's gathering information about the mysterious villain for us.
He's convenient.
Isn't the real reason you're covering for him...
...atonement, Father?
Don't call me that in the office.
Yes...
By the way, it seems that there's been a lot of rejection from the military recently.
We are businessmen.
There's no need to go along with the military playing with fire.
Yes, President.
About that music. Make it ready for field use as soon as possible.
Understood.
As payment for the food, I'll give you one piece of info.
It's a big lead into the incidents.
I'm back.
You! You really came back?
Yeah...
Don't fuck with me!
You keep talking nothing but shit!
It's up to you whether to believe me or not.
There's no way.
Fesitval of the Advent Call Forth Blessings with the Sound of White Bells
The Byakureikai is connected to the incidents...
There's no way.
December 25th
Shall I clean up?
Yeah.
Were those people just now your friends?
That damn drifter?! There's no way it hell I'd be friends...
...with...him...
Is that so?
Y...yeah...
At this point, we have no choice but to go with that.
Yeah, no choice.
You are people wishing to enter the faith?
Yes!
Byakureikai is a church that used the native religion of Kagura Village as its foundation.
It's founder was a man named Banba Soukichi.
There are a lot of unknowns in Soukichi's personal history,
but according to my research, chances are very high that he was actually the president of Kagura Pharmaceuticals, Kagura Tatsuyuki.
The origin of the religion seems to be centered around an old Shinto shrine inside Kagura Hill.
The current person in charge of the religion is Sara,
who was once Tatsuyuki's wife,
and is now married to Kuroshio Gouzou.
That's...
that appointed official...
And...the priestess and next in line to be leader is...
Are you serious...?
Oh shit!
Kiriko!
