(Previous story so far...)
So you're saying, this was an unpublished work? (Previous story so far...)
The so-called "Mangaka" guy mumbling about a woman... (Previous story so far...)
After careful planning, he killed her. (Previous story so far...)
That's just it. (Previous story so far...)
These were found next to the drawings. (Previous story so far...)
I would like you to find out if Ajima drew these. (Previous story so far...)
I don't think this is Ajima Fumiya's work. (Previous story so far...)
That work should not be there... (Previous story so far...)
I will also help you find that person. (Previous story so far...)
It's her. (Previous story so far...)
It was in this park... (Previous story so far...)
...that the mangaka saw Sonoda Kimiko. (Previous story so far...)
Look here. (Previous story so far...)
It's the young boy, right? (Previous story so far...)
This boy witnessed the mangaka commit the crime? (Previous story so far...)
This work has a continuation. (Previous story so far...)
What an ideal prey.
What are you drawing, mister?
You sure draw very well.
Are you a mangaka?
You can tell?
Because it's the first time I saw such good drawing.
Is that so.
Thank you.
What's your name, mister?
Just call me "Mangaka."
Alright, Mangaka-san.
Episode 2: "Sharpen the Senses"
This work has a continuation?
That's right.
If there was a follow-up...
I think this work will change.
What do you mean?
To have the boy appear suggestively three times...
...and not appear anymore later on...
I thought it was due to the the author's lack of talent.
However...
If the boy who witnessed the crime...
...later on has a scene where he'll be in contact with the mangaka...
Then the story will change dramatically.
This work, though the development is slow...
...it does seems to have a plot.
I see.
I'll call up Ajimapro now to ask whether there is a follow-up work.
Anyway... Why were you running earlier?
I may just be imagining things but...
I felt like I was being followed.
Strange...
Is there someone who resents you in your line of work?
I don't think so.
Are you single?
Or perhaps, in the process of divorcing?
How come you know?
You have no house phone...
There's no furniture except for the basic necessities.
You see...
...when my wife left me, my place looked similar to yours.
Wife?
Were you married?
I was.
Why do you look so surprised... That's so rude!
Were you really married?
When you have a guest like this, it should occur to you to serve him even just one sweets snack.
I don't have sweets here.
Why?
Because the only nutritional needs one should take are meals and supplements.
No wonder you don't understand the sense of manga!
The things you don't need are precisely the things that are needed in this world, aren't they?
Stuff like manga, music, movies, TV or sweets...
...you CAN live without them.
But those are the pleasures of life, aren't they?
An investigative company for the publishing industry would have such things, wouldn't it?
I don't recall that not serving sweets implies I'm depriving myself of a life.
It seems you and I will never understand each other.
I agree. At least we get along on that.
Anyway...
- You ought to be careful and adequately lock up. - Do not you worry about me. Thank you.
Also...
...just a bit of advice from experience.
This room...
...from here on, you should get yourself a hobby.
Good night.
I don't think there were follow-up drawings...
The president and I have thoroughly collated the things in here so...
Where did you find the drawings?
It was in this shelf.
It was inserted like this.
It's a place which you can't tell whether he's trying to hide it or not.
Yes.
Like he nonchalantly placed it in a nondescript place.
I wonder if there was any significance behind that.
Anyway, let's search for it.
Okay.
(Wachi Koichiro, Former Eijinsha Editor in Chief)
Thank you for taking the time to see me.
Since I would like to ask Ajima-sensei's editors...
...Mochizuki-san referred me to you.
You were...
...involved in the editing of the "After School Waltz", right?
Right. I was the editor in charge.
We put it together and pushed it through.
It sold ​​very well...
The company made a lot of money with this.
You resigned as his editor, didn't you?
There were nothing but idiots at the top of that company.
Any normal editor in charge of a work...
...would see a project through to the end.
But as editor, I grew tired of being told what to do, and was resented.
So I resigned as editor in charge.
Manga editors are divided into two kinds of people.
One is a man of talent...
The other one envies talented people.
I hate the latter one...
...who climbs up the ladder while envying the others.
That's the sort of guys that are at the top of the company.
It was just two years ago that I decided to resign.
- More beer please. - Okay!
Then, what is it you wanted to ask?
I would like to ask you if you remember if Ajima-san had an assistant...
...who can mimic his drawing style.
Then, I guess it would be Tomura Kazuya...
His works sold well, and is now a well-known mangaka.
But his drawings didn't look much like Ajima-san's. (Tomura Kazuya)
When he started up his own company...
...he recommended someone to replace him.
This person's drawings were similar to Ajima-san's.
Morita... let's see...
Morita...
Was it Morita... Koji? (Morita Koji, contact details unknown)
What kind of person was he?
To put it simply...
...he's a deviant who draws very well.
Deviant?
For example, Ajima-san would reject background drawings, right?
It's not an uncommon thing that happens to assistants.
But this guy couldn't forgive himself...
He would pound the table with his fist...
...kept pounding until his fist bleeds...
Was he... punishing himself?
He probably couldn't take being rejected by Ajima-san.
Because he had too much pride.
I see...
(Morita Koji, draws well, odd behavior)
(I know who you are. It was you who drew that work.)
(You got away with crime. "Mangaka"-san. Please teach me how you catch your prey.)
(...~Manga Editor)
What...? (...~Manga Editor)
What you said...
Who are you?
Hello?
"This is Mizuno."
"I met with Wachi-san."
He's kind of weird, right?
Yes, he's got a great personality.
"He had been the typical stubborn manga editor in the past."
Although he's very enthusiastic but he likes to pick fights.
Well, almost all editors are weird anyway.
You can say that again.
Oh... nothing.
Anyway...
He mentioned an assistant's name...
...Morita Koji-san.
Morita Koji.
- "Do you have his contact details?" - No, I don't.
But from here, I'm going to see one person in the list, mangaka Tomura-san...
...and ask him some questions. - Tomura Kazuya, huh?
Got it. Later then.
Do you know much about Tomura-san?
I've never met him.
But he's very successful, right?
Among Ajima-san's disciples, he's now considered the best selling mangaka.
I'm sure he's busy meeting deadlines, wonder if she'll be able to meet him.
He's known for being fond of women.
Wow... what a cool detective you are.
I want to draw you into a manga.
You're so lovely.
Thank you. (Tomura Koji, mangaka)
But I'm not a detective. I'm a researcher. (Tomura Koji, mangaka)
Please let's sit over here.
Well...
I just paid my assistants yesterday, so today is their day off.
I am now making the name.
A "name" is...
The storyboard.
It's like designing the comics.
First, decide on the structure of the story...
Then after you edit...
...you can start drawing it on paper.
I see.
Thank you for seeing me despite your busy schedule.
Please sit.
Then regarding what we talked about on the phone... Morita Koji-san...
Yep. Morita-san, huh?
I remember how he draws so much like Ajima-sensei.
Even I can hardly tell the difference.
What kind of person was Morita-san?
How old is he?
Around 60, I think...
At any rate, he draws very well.
When I had my own company, I too asked him to help out with my work but...
Well...
Morita-san is really a dangerous fella.
- Dangerous? - Let's say he was intimidating.
While I was away...
He would bully those assistants who didn't draw very well.
Like he would threaten them.
Um...
Is there a picture of him?
Well, no.
We weren't friends...
If I remember correctly, we went to a midnight movie together in Shinjuku a long time ago...
What kind movie was it?
Softcore porn.
I believe he had a thing for captivity theme.
- Captivity? - Well now, are you interested in it?
No.
Do you know where he could be living now?
I remember something about living somewhere in the north...
He mentioned about renting a house together with a senior colleague.
But I'm not specifically sure where he's staying.
I see.
By the way, Mizuno-san, do you have time later?
Won't you have dinner with me?
Let's continue to talk over some wine...
But aren't you supposed to plan for your next story?
I can think anywhere so it's fine.
Unfortunately, I have to go.
Really?
That's too bad...
Well then...
Here.
Let's get in touch.
I'll be waiting.
Thank you.
The staff did not come today either, huh.
No.
After Sensei died, some of his assistants resigned.
But since some of his unpublished works need fixing...
We contracted a few and they come here sometimes to work.
Do those people remember seeing the unpublished drawings?
The assistants are young so...
...no.
I see...
Then, Morita-san too...
Not one of them knows him.
Please.
Still, Daigo-san...
You were superb in discerning that Ajima-sensei wasn't the artist behind those works.
I did think the handwriting wasn't like Ajima-sensei's but...
When I looked at the drawings, I wasn't so sure.
In addition to those I mentioned the other day...
...there were other proofs.
Actually, I can tell from this work...
...that Ajima Fumiya wasn't the only artist that the mangaka got his influence from.
Who was it?
Hisamatsu Fumio.
Hisamatsu Fumio?
For instance...
This one...
This bold and neat composition...
Like in "Super Jetter" and "Adventure on the Gaboten Island"?
Despite being young, you know his works well, huh? (Note: Those works came out in the 60s)
Please wait for a while. (Note: Those works came out in the 60s)
Oh... found it.
- Wow~... "Adventure Girl, Miss Wonder"! - Yes.
Let's see... ah!
It's like this composition, isn't it?
Right right, this bold composition.
This unique kind of curve, right?
Ozawa-kun, you know your stuff, huh.
This makes me happy.
With Mizuno-san, no matter how I explain it, she has no reaction.
I may be a fan of Ajima-sensei but...
I would check out Hisamatsu-san's works as well.
How should I put it...
More than the plot, by drawing effects...
...and bold composition, he tends to wonder and shock the reader.
That's the kind of feeling I get from his drawings too.
Yeah...
This work cannot hide the artist's personality.
Morita Koji...
Where and what are you doing now?
Have you found the continuation of the drawings?
Unfortunately, no.
Is that so.
I wasn't able to locate Morita either.
What... you came up blank today huh?
But... you did too!
"I only said I wasn't able to find the story's continuation."
So I had nothing to do, right? During that time...
...Ozawa-kun...
"...called up all the assistants who might know him."
And then?
I have it...
...Morita Koji's address!
There was an assistant in the past who knows where he lives!
Wait--
Ouch! Wait, uh...
Let's go there tomorrow.
Sorry for making you wait!
Meeting time was 3, right?
"Mangakas generally sleep in the morning, so we should visit him in the afternoon..."
- Isn't that what you said? - Well...
This shopping street, it's my first time to come here...
So many things here, I got so excited, and had a great time!
Really... So shall we go?
Oh, Mizuno, wait.
Which one, croquette or menchi-katsu?
These were hand made from the butcher's.
- Which one you want? - No thanks.
Come on. These taste good while they're hot.
Come, don't be so formal.
Just pick any... here.
Then... croquette...
No. This isn't croquette. Can you tell by looking?
How am I supposed to do that? They're both the same brown color.
You can just tell.
Here's your croquette.
- Thanks. - Let's go!
In Tokyo, I like...
...Kita-Senju's Sun Road... Jujo in Fujimi-Ginza... (Note: These are all shopping streets)
Oh, right! (Note: These are all shopping streets)
I also like Yanaka-Ginza, and Sunamachi-Ginza! (Note: These are all shopping streets)
It doesn't matter what you like.
But can you please settle down a bit?
The person we're going to meet next might be the culprit in the series of kidnapping and murder cases.
I know that.
Maybe he's not at home...
Excuse us!
There's no sound...
The meter's not running either.
Maybe no one's really at home.
"MD10-18R..."
- What is that? - "M" stands for "single man".
"D" is for "college students".
"10 to 18" means he's not at home from 10 am to 6 pm.
It's something like a secret signal between burglars.
I'm gonna erase it.
That's amazing.
You truly are a cop.
I'll try to find something too.
Oww!
I'll do it.
"Kuroda Yoshinobu"... (Note: this is an electric bill)
The name's different.
Could Morita have moved?
Seems highly likely.
Ozawa-kun.
How's it going? The investigation on the drawings.
It isn't yet known who drew them.
Probably it was an assistant who worked here before.
Who would draw that kind of stuff...
Anyway...
I can't forgive anyone who damages Ajima's reputation.
Ajima is already gone so...
...there won't be new work anymore.
What can we do to protect him...
...you do know it, right?
I do.
Then I'm counting on you.
If we were to find Morita...
...we would be able to find clues.
Anyway, wonder what's he doing now?
Could he no longer be a mangaka?
Though everyone's praising his drawing skills...
Even you said that he draws better than Ajima-san, right?
No matter how well you draw, you can't just become a pro.
No matter how many they are.
For the meantime, we have to gather more information.
Maybe you should try Kazumine of Eijinsha?
He's a junior colleague of mine and worked as an editor under Ajima Fumiya, too.
Please, by all means.
- I'll give you his phone number. - Okay.
Aren't you gonna answer that?
It's fine. I have nothing to do with that caller.
Was it your husband?
Can you please leave it alone?
He's calling you so he wants to get back together huh?
Please...
There's really that kind of person.
Throws away one's pride and remarries, then continues to deceive even after coming back...
It's a classic strategy.
- Well, better be careful with that. - Thank you for your advice.
But you don't need to be concerned about me.
Oh, I haven't given you Kazumine's phone number yet.
(Coffee Shop Ruan)
Welcome.
Hello.
Oww!
- Are you okay? - Oh, I'm fine.
Um... You're Kazumine-san, right?
- Yes. - Nice to meet you.
I'm Mizuno of EK Research.
I'm Kazumine of Ejinsha Co.
Nice to meet you, too.
Thank you.
Please.
I didn't expect you'll have spare time to meet with me today.
Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.
I don't mind. Likewise.
Oh, what would you like to drink?
The fresh fruit juice here is good.
Then, I'll have Strawberry Juice.
Master! Two glasses of fresh strawberry juice please.
Got it.
Do you come to this shop, too?
Yes, sometimes.
It was Daigo-san who told me about this place.
But you don't bring your own snacks, do you?
It's just Daigo-san who does that.
Since he's so talented, he's allowed to do as he pleases.
I did not allow him though.
I heard that you're very good.
Right now, you're the vice editor in chief right?
I just take care of the people around me...
I'm not even close to "good".
Somehow...
It's hard to imagine that you're an editor.
Pardon?
I mean...
I thought editors are like Daigo-san...
There sure are a lot of odd people among them.
I'm sorry...
That wasn't the reason I called you here.
You mentioned on the phone, about an assistant, right?
Yes.
You were also a former editor of Ajima-san, right?
During your time, was there any assistant who was good at drawing?
Everyone was good at drawing.
But as for the one who draws exactly the same as Ajima-san...
...the closest one would be...
...Morita-san, I guess.
Morita Koji-san...
Did someone tell you the same thing?
Yes.
For example...
...it doesn't have to be a disciple of Sensei...
Wasn't there like a freelance assistant?
You mean like an assistant who breezes in through the door?
Someone who comes in from nowhere and can draw just like Sensei...
The "Black Jack" of mangaka.
Was there such a person?
It's an urban legend.
But if there was such a person, I'm sure it'd be interesting.
What's Morita-san like?
I don't think he can be considered a legend but...
He was very good.
At the very least, he was able to draw just like Ajima-san.
Morita-san seems a bit strange, doesn't he?
Well, there were several rumors about him.
That maybe he killed someone in the past.
And that his eyes somehow looked like the eyes of a killer.
Of course that's just all talk.
It was just a story that the assistants tossed around just for the fun of it.
Thank you for waiting. Here you go.
You're asking me...
...where I buried my prey?
So you want to know what happened...
...30 years ago?
Reality...
Mangaka-san's crime...
...that was too perfect...
...was it real?
It wasn't real, right?
But...
...I know it's true.
Looking into your eyes...
Your eyes...
...are the eyes of a murderer.
- Oh, sorry. It's a bit of a mess in here. - Oh, it's okay.
- Sorry to bother you so early. - It's fine. We're not open yet anyway.
I wanted to tell you something right away, too.
The last time you visited me, right?
The next day, I contacted my junior colleague, Kawauchi.
- The officer from that jurisdiction, right? - Right, right.
I asked him if he still remembers...
...about the series of missing women cases 35 years ago.
Then he said... he remembers it very clearly.
- Really? - Yes.
So I immediately went to see him...
...and showed me this website. (Showa Labyrinth of Darkness Case Files)
He said, he basically wrote the information there.
I was very shocked to see the amount of info in there.
Did they identify a suspect at that time?
Like someone reported seeing a man holding a sketchbook.
Indeed, during their investigation, there was such a man.
They thoroughly looked into the circumstances of the missing women and the people in their surroundings.
Like if there was an artist or a mangaka...
Was there one?
That is why, you see...
Assuming that man was the suspect...
...there was no connection between him and those missing women.
In other words...
He was either a random attacker...
...or a stalker.
I see.
So then...
There was another thing that concerned Kawauchi.
The last missing person.
The last missing person...
Was it Sekiya-san?
Or you mean, Tatsumi-san?
They found the body of Sekiya Junko so there was no doubt it was a suicide.
Kawauchi was bothered about...
...Tatsumi Akiko.
On the internet, it was written that she was a president of a company.
That's right. In her column on the website, she was said to be an owner of a company.
The fact is...
...she was a swindler.
To be precise...
She was the leader...
...of a bogus religious cult.
(Report on Tatsumi Akiko)
(Japan Liberte Association)
(Representative: Tatsumi Akiko)
So...
...how's your mother doing?
It's really difficult, how to go about supporting someone with dementia.
I also want to help but...
In the end, I can't do anything for her.
Well, it's dementia, huh... Regardless how much care you provide...
...you can do nothing but quietly watch as the disease gets worse.
"Hello?"
Mom?
Oh... it's me.
Yuki-chan?
Yesterday, you know...
Yesterday?
"Yesterday, your dad and I..."
"...were talking, right?"
"Then, your father talked about you..."
Mom...
"Yes?"
"Um... who's on the line again?"
Mom... Mom...
Sorry about that. Hello?
Oh, sis...
It's Yuki.
What do you want?
Mm... Nothing important.
"Can you stop calling on a whim?"
Here's not the place to be doing that.
I'm sorry... but...
I also want to help somehow...
"Sorry..."
"I'm feeling tired right now..."
"I have to go."
As I thought, Sumiyoshi-Ginza's level is high.
Bringing his own food...
- Welcome! - Hello.
Hey... Daigo-san, you're here, too.
- Sorry to disturb you last night. - Not at all.
As long as I can help, just call me any time.
Huh? Is the Madarame Kota Anthology out already?
It's from Akagido Publishing.
(Madarame Kota Anthology)
As expected, he's really good... Madarame Kota.
These unique strokes... ("Manchurian Clutch" by Madarame Kota)
...made him the master of horror comics. ("Manchurian Clutch" by Madarame Kota)
I wished he continued to draw...
Passed away at age 55...
In this line of work...
The greater the pressure, the more a mangaka loses sleep.
No wonder they die early...
Can I ask you a question?
Why did you accept the investigation of Ajimapro?
Maybe it's my way of paying back the manga industry.
Paying back?
You see, in my 3 years of high school and 4 years of college...
...I didn't study nor play nor work at a part-time job.
...I was idling my time away.
Didn't know what I wanted to be...
...no idea what job I wanted.
I was like that when I got hired by a publishing company.
I was assigned to the manga department...
Became useful to the senior workers...
I also found many of the mangaka interesting.
For me...
The first time I felt appreciated by others... was because of manga.
Perhaps... it's because of that...
...I always wanted to repay the manga that saved me.
Then, if you're able to find the author of that work...
It's your way of repaying manga.
Yes.
I must find him no matter what.
Kazumine-san...
Oh! Thanks for the hard work!
Oh, let me introduce you...
This is Okazaki-kun, the one who won the Newcomer Award last time.
Oh, hello.
He's really the newcomer to look out for.
Really?
Then, see you next time.
- How's your storyboard coming along? - Oh, sorry, it took so long...
Please!
It's okay. You didn't get enough sleep? Your eyes are red.
I'm totally fine.
Oh! This one's nice...
Thank you.
What... What I was most scared of is a dog.
The dog can smell an animal and dig a hole...
So I dug a deep hole.
And on top of the burial spot, I added a pile of soil at least 20 cms high.
Particularly, the vicinity of a shrine is the most suitable place.
No one would suspect anyone of digging in that kind of place.
Where exactly is that?
Why do you have such an unpleasant expression?
Can't you allow yourself to open up to me?
I just...
...want you to teach me.
Share your secret with me.
I want you...
...to "hunt" again.
No!
I've already set my eyes on a prey.
What?
Born in Shimane Prefecture...
...she lives in an apartment in Takashimadaira.
Of course, her room is on the second floor.
Just like Sonoda Kimiko, she has black hair...
...and is beautiful.
The place to lock her in?
I've already prepared it.
Do you really want to do this?
Yes.
Fine.
Mizuno-san?
Kazumine-san!
Thank you for yesterday.
Don't mention it.
Are you looking for information?
Yes.
I didn't read Ajima-san's works much...
So I'd like to do some studying.
Is that so.
You're really eager huh.
No...
Kazumine-san...
You were the last editor of "After School Waltz", right?
Yes, just the final year of its run.
I was in charge of it...
...but Ajima-san decided to stop its serialization.
Why is that?
Didn't it sell well or wasn't popular?
It was both a hit and sold well.
But he wanted to end the story perfectly.
Otherwise...
The editorial department would always advise him to continue drawing.
I see...
But Ajima-san...
The years following "After School Waltz," there weren't much results, right?
This "Parliament of the Sun"...
...wasn't too popular.
Such a let down after such a big hit made everyone depressed.
Especially Ajima-san...
Once "After School Waltz" ended, he became flat out of ideas.
Flat out?
Although he did the drawings himself...
...the story's scenario was made by a ghost writer.
Really?
However...
The plot is just one of the many elements of manga.
How to develop the plot and how to factor the characters into that plot...
...can still only be done by the mangaka.
So if the mangaka does not have an outstanding talent...
...he won't be able to complete a work.
I understand.
Though Daigo-san may think otherwise...
Editors like him can make good plots on their own...
...but there is no editor who has better grasp of the story...
...than the mangaka.
But if...
...an editor can create a plot...
And if we assume that he thinks he'll be successful with whomever he's partnered with...
...that person will feel frustrated.
Seems they compensate for each other...
Having chemistry is an important thing huh?
Speaking of which...
Where do they put the name of the editor in the manga?
They don't print the name of the editor.
Even though you worked hard on it?
I feel the manga is something that belongs to the mangaka.
After all, don't you think it's amazing?
He starts from a completely blank piece of paper...
He draws the characters and the background...
...and is able to launch a grand story.
He relies on his mind and one pen to create those worlds.
I respect that kind of mangaka.
Can't find a clue...
Should I go there again?
(Ajimapro)
Are you Daigo-san?
Ozawa told me about you.
You're investigating again today?
Yes.
I want to find anything that may become a lead.
We haven't solved the mystery of the drawings yet.
Then Takeuchi-kun.
Please show Daigo-san to the Information Management Office.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll just go and get the key. Please wait a bit.
Sure.
Where's Ozawa-kun today?
He came to work this morning but left already.
Said he had to go somewhere.
Only the young assistants remained...
Young?
Um, pardon me but...
Were you already working here when Ajima-sensei passed away?
Yes...
How long have you been working here?
20 years, I think...?
I may be the one who's been working here the longest, right?
Well, yes.
- So then... how about during the 90s? - I was here.
It was around that time, we were making the final chapter of "After School Waltz"...
Then, do you know Morita Koji-san?
I do.
- But you don't where he lives-- - I do know it.
- You know it!? - Yep.
Is it a residential area in the north?
No, from there he moved to where I go hang out.
Really!?
Morita-san was living with a senior colleague in the north...
That roommate moved out and left for somewhere so...
...he moved.
Can you tell me where he moved?
- Sure. - YES!
Thank you so much!
(Morita)
Is this Morita-san's residence?
Yes.
Sorry to drop in so suddenly.
My name is Mizuno.
I'm Daigo.
Can I help you with something?
Is Morita Koji-san in?
What's your business with him?
We are connected with Ajimapro...
...and we were looking for Morita-san.
We asked the address here from Mashiko-san of Ajimapro.
But he doesn't know your phone number so...
...we came directly here.
From Mashiko-san?
Are you Morita-san's wife?
Yes.
Ajimapro had entrusted us...
...in making a list of the assistants...
With Ajima-sensei's death...
...we wanted to see what people's recollections are of him.
You took the trouble of coming here...
Is Morita-san in?
No...
Morita...
...passed away 10 years ago.
He's dead?
I did not expect that he's dead.
Although she did not say the cause of death...
I think...
He committed suicide.
Oh no...
That is why he hasn't contacted Ajimapro.
But this is only my assumption.
With this...
It'll be more difficult to find out who made the drawings huh?
IF he is the creator of the work, that is...
I asked the wife earlier for a picture of Morita-san...
I guess he doesn't look like him. ...The mangaka in the drawings.
That's right.
Although this alone would not rule out the suspicion...
It's a fact that there is no resemblance.
If it wasn't Morita-san...
...then who on earth made it?
The prey this time...
...will definitely...
...pass through this tunnel here at this hour.
Are you really determined to do this?
The one who understood and agreed to this...
...was you, right?
The expression at the moment of passing between life and death...
Nothing is more beautiful than that, right?
You want to see it again, don't you?
Who on earth...
...are you?
I'm the "Manga Editor".
See you later.
