"Clone Baby" Episode 4
There is only one chair prepared for us in life.
Aoyagi Masamune took his own life.
He should be dead, but for some reason he's alive.
- The man who killed him, Kikuchi Hiro, appeared again. - Shall I swap with you?
- There is a reason behind his actions. - What are you doing?!
It's because of the inescapable fate of clones.
If clones with the same genes meet, the law of exclusive divine providence sets in and they try to kill each other.
- The one I want is you. - Those instincts are awoken and they kill others without any hesitation.
- That is the instinct of clones. - Die!
There is one other destiny for them. When they meet, there is the law of attraction that pulls them together like magnets.
The red string of fate connects us two.
The Tanabata (July 7th) murders have hit our jurisdiction.
The targets are 19 year olds born on Tanabata.
That's exactly like me! I can't wait to meet the murderer.
- Go away. - This harsh game has created a fresh victim.
Dad? Dad...!
If you don't kill them, they'll kill you. That's all there is to it.
What were the clones created for?
This is the tale of clones killing each other.
The one who will win the chair at the end... will be me.
I don't remember asking to take part in that game of musical chairs.
- Really? You turned into a wild beast yesterday. - Die!
It certainly seems like you're an official participant in this game.
"CLONE BABY" 4th CLONE
The shoulder blade joint is malformed.
You'll have to stop playing baseball.
Can't I get a transplant?
It would be different if you had a twin or a clone.
There don't seem to be any evidence that the suspect was hiding there to ambush him?
- Here and here. - Eh?
There is the same mark on each victim's right arm.
Now that you mention it, Marika had the same mark.
What? What's that about Marika?
It's me, your sister.
- What are you doing? - It relaxes me to see these old clips.
How nostalgic! Eh, when was this photo taken? Ah, I was crying so much in it.
A sketch of the suspect?
I had the police make it earlier. I don't think you'll be targeted too, but remember his face just in case.
I can make use of this!
"Tanabata murder festival - Shotaro's chat room"
How do you do? I'm Drone-beetle. I have some interesting information.
So many people keep saying that.
So? What is it?
I have a sketch of the suspect. And "Drone-beetle's" brother is Aoyagi Masamune who was targeted by the suspect.
I'd like to meet you and tell you more details.
I bet you want evidence.
"Here is the proof!!"
Sketch of the suspect
Drone-beetle's dad
Brother - Masamune
She can only last another 3 days.
- She needs those organ transplants. - I know.
Relying just on that one guy seems too risky.
Ah, doctor! It's almost done.
Sorry. Dad, it's my fault that you got caught up in the Tanabata murder case too.
- I don't like you using "Tanabata" for that meaning. - Eh?
July 7th is a special day for me as your father.
While I was waiting for you to be born, all I could do was pray.
You were a gift given by the gods.
Dad... I'm really alive, aren't I?
What are you talking about? You're here and you have been for the last 19 years.
Cute, cute, my heart bursts. One more time. Ready, set. Let's enjoy...
You're Okajo, aren't you? I'm Drone-beetle, otherwise known as Aoyagi Kanako.
- Is that your set pose? - Eh? Yes, it kind of is.
Sorry, but I'm not interested in real high school girls.
- Let's go. - Okay, master.
Is this the "Higuchi Riko" that you're talking about?
After graduating university she began working for Applied Genetic engineering Epigenome Center (AGEC).
Then she transfered to being a teacher, but quit after a year. She's currently unemployed.
You want me to find personal information about her in exchange for the information you'll give me?
That's great, Okajo! You're a genius on computers!
- You think so? - I wonder if you'd be able to access that whatever-Center place too?
There is nowhere in this world that I can't access!
"To Higuchi Riko, A report written in your name has been put on the Tanabata murder site.
I want to hear what you're planning on doing now.
From Hazuki Soichiro at AGEC Clone Research Department"
Asunaro Children's Center
I understand.
Next time I'll be sure to get you what you want.
I thought you'd be here.
It's ironic that now you've escaped to this place you ran away from.
- Buzz off. It's none of your business. - I came to warn you.
Hm~ When did you become so admirable?
I'm being serious.
If you keep being used like this, eventually you'll ruin yourself.
Lately I've been thinking that I'm getting closer to being a god.
The reason is because I've been what the guy who rehabilitates god's wishes wants.
God can create creatures as he pleases, so he can also make them disappear when he wishes too.
Scram. I'm not going to kill you just yet.
If you turn up again, I'll kill you.
Let me say just one thing.
Don't forget that you are also one of those creatures.
Hi!
It's okay for you to be here?
The police bodyguards are waiting outside. I wanted to talk to you, Masamune.
Eh?
It's about what happened on the hospital rooftop...
Ah, yeah.
- I'm... - Hm?
I don't think you're tied into it.
- Masamune? - At that time... for some reason... it looked like you were attracted to Hiro.
- Sorry. - No, I'm the one who is sorry.
- Doesn't it feel like your heart is beating faster? - Boom, boom, boom. I get it.
- Marika... - Hm?
Am I the one you want?
Ah! You don't have to answer that question if you don't want to.
Masamune... it's you or no one.
There is only one chair prepared for us.
What's wrong?
- No... - You don't like me? - No, that's not it.
I feel like I lost track of who I was.
Sorry!
No! Don't apologize.
He's a horrible guy, isn't he?
What are you doing here?
- Because I'm your stalker. - Stop with the stupid jokes.
I would never hurt you like he did.
The report that's up on the internet is just a prank.
- I didn't write it. - You seem to have forgotten something important.
We still have a huge stack of reports you had written here.
We are the community of fate. Please remember that.
You are the stars of fate - Asterisks.
We still have a huge stack of reports you had written here.
I'm into the research center, but what is it you want to know exactly?
- Information that could be related to the Tanabata murder cases. - It doesn't look like they're doing dangerous research such as that.
I guess maybe she's not involved?
- The bear. - Excuse me! Isn't that the animal parfait that I ordered?
- Master, I'll bring you yours in a moment, meow! - What a pain.
Hang on! There seems to be something here hidden behind a lot of guarded files.
File name Asterisk?
Sir?
- He ate the parfait that you'd ordered, Okajo. - No way...!
- I was born on July 7th. - No way! Is it safe for you to wandering around here?
It's honestly like, if you're going to come, Mr. Murderer, then come on!
Don't you think the net would get excited if I could air it on the net?
- You honestly mean that? - I'm like a god in the hacker world.
I have passionate followers around the world.
But I want to penetrate the net even more.
What would you do if you were targeted right now?
I'd take a photo of it and upload it for the world to see.
It ... it's him!
Idiot! Run!
The murderer is after me!
I've been caught up in the Tanabata murders! Lord, help me!
Is everyone watching? Oh no! I may be killed!
- This could be the end of the god of hackers. - What are you doing?! This way!
Ouch!
For real?!
"Kanako"
- What, Kanako? - That sketch guy is here! Hurry over here!
What?!
I was nervous. Help me! Darn it...
"Things are bad. Anyone nearby, come and help me!"
Don't make a sound.
Oh my, you're getting a lot of tweets in reply.
"I wonder what internal organs they want this time?"
You have some great followers. I'll enjoy taking their god from them.
Answer them.
Write "I'm about to have my small intestines taken."
"Hurry up and show us footage!" "Show us his heart! Show us his liver!"
"Okajo, hurry up and die!"
Who are you?
- How did you know where I was? - There are magnets in our bodies.
- Magnets? - Clones are pulled together by magnets no matter where they go.
- Clones? What do you mean? - That's enough of the small talk.
You were supposed to have died from the drugs in that "special service" I had prepared for you.
What are you doing, Kota?
This is Marika.
- See, isn't she adorable? - This is Marika.
Hiro.
- Do you understand the situation? - Don't tell me what to do.
Or would you rather I killed you first?
Get a grip.
- Where's the old clever Kota gone? - Shut up!
If you keep this method up, the police will catch you in no time.
Get out of here. There aren't any cars going by if you go to the road by the train tracks.
Don't think you're doing me any favors.
Kanako!
Over there!
Hiro...!
Okay? Don't tell anyone about what you just saw.
- Even on the internet? - If you say even one word, I will kill you without hesitation.
Okajo! Are you okay?
Drone-beetle!
And you're... Aoyagi Masamune?
It's rather uncanny.
This is that law of magnets.
Wait!
That guy before said the same thing.
Is that stuff about clones and magnet attraction true?
It's true.
Where's the proof?
What are you going to do?!
This is...
... the proof!
Clone?
We are clone babies born in test tubes.
Clone babies?
My birthmark isn't there!
This is... me?
Aoyagi Masamune...
... you're one too.
