If you're going to kill, kill me.
Don't kill him!
"Sana, a mysterious woman with a scar on her back suddenly showed up in the modern world..."
"She once lived by her employer's contract during the Period of the Warring States..."
"Following any order given to her, she had lived a horrific life."
I have no home. Parents, sister too...
"Knowing Sana has no relatives, Masako..."
"...faced down her family's opposition, and let Sana stay in her home."
"One day, the two met Mayumi, who was suffering from her..."
"...husband's DV and stalking." - Sana!
"Masako with the help of Sana's tremendous physical ability..."
"...rescued Mayumi splendidly from the hands of her evil DV husband."
Tenchu.
"But alas..."
"...Mayumi took her own life."
"Wanting to change a rotten world, Masako..."
"...offered a contract to Sana."
- It's your contract with me. - Aye.
"And so, these two's social reformation begins now."

"As long as I live, we'll meet again."
Yuu?
Sana!
Sana, what are you doing?
I, Murata Masako, has survived for another day!
Thank you~! Thanks so much, Mr. Sun.
Oh, well, Kana-chan, good morning.
- Good morning, Grandma. - Here, Kanako...
...here's your gloves and go. - I'm going now.
- You're fine without a coat? - Good luck on your test.
- Test? Do good, okay? - Dear, taiyaki (fish-shaped cake)
...please buy some over there, okay? - Oh, taiyaki huh?
- For me, too. - Line up and buy for me, okay?
- Buy for three~! - Not three!
Aren't there 4 of us? Kyoko-san! You know...!
The heck! Just for one piece of taiyaki!
That daughter-in-law! You'll regret this too, someday!
Sana, what are you doing?
What should I do?
What should you do? Let's close this, it's cold.
From now on, we will take actions together.
And, no matter what, do not kill anyone.
Got it?
- "N-no! No... please!" - "Don't do it!"
- Even the bad men? - Of course.
Do not kill.
Toilet is separate.
For one person only!
Uwah, seriously? Just from collecting money?
- Definitely, count me in. - I wanna do it.
- Me, too. - Then, here you go.
- What's this. - This is the contact info to get in. Here.
Right.
Ok, ok. See ya later, Shinji.
- Later. - Sure!
- Catch you later. - Yeah.
Yo, ¥50,000!
No. 4 is Wada. No. 7 is Skinny.
No. 11 is Sasaki.
Really? She's staying with you for a while?
- That's right. - Eh~?
Hey, girl, where are you originally from?
- Ishu. - Ishu? Where is that?
That name sounds fishy.
A place called "Ishuu" (nasty smell) sounds like "foul-smelling trouble."
- Hey, wasn't that funny? - No, it wasn't. Remember...
I told you, didn't I? That this Sana is a returnee...
Um, "Ishu" is next to New York in the States, in between Arizona and Colorado...
- There's a small state called Ishu. - Really? What kind of place is it?
How should I know, I've never been there.
- Oh, Sensei, what's wrong? - Oh, no, it's nothing.
- What about you? Where you from. - Me?
I'm from the urban city of the Saitama Prefecture.
Everyone from Saitama Prefecture, my apologies.
Is your family in good health?
Oh, please~, Sensei... With the way I am now?
Isn't it obvious that ties with my family would have been cut off already?
That being said, Macchan...
Aren't you living by yourself in that mansion?
My time left is short so why shouldn't I live in a mansion?
It's become a place of my husband's memories, and a housing compound for my son.
So basically, when that daughter-in-law came to the house...
"Well, Mother, this house of yours sure is wide..."
"How much per square meter?" she asked me.
- Macchan... - What's the matter? Pecchan.
- Macchan, Macchan. - Huh? What is it?
- What should I do... - What happened?
The "Mom, help me" scammer is coming to my house tomorrow.
The "Mom, help me" scam... what is that?
As I said, the "Mom, help me" scammer...
...is coming to my house tomorrow... Why are they targeting me?
'Cause you're a knock-out like me, that's why.
They won't come to me. 'Cause my son is at my home...
No, no, wait... just earlier...
"Hello, Mihira residence."
- "Mom, it's me, me (Ore Ore)." - " 'Ore' "?
"Was just in an accident."
"Actually, I have a favor to ask..."
"Futoshi...!"
"What?"
"Morning, Mom."
My son's a security guard, right?
He had just come in from his night shift.
I thought it was really suspicious though so I later called the police...
They said to me, "Isn't that the remittance scam?"
And then, I was asked that when he comes tomorrow...
..."I want you to pretend you're being fooled."
Lately the kids who take part in those remittance scams, or collector kids as they're called...
...have been going directly to houses to pick up the money.
...since banks have been tightening their guard lately.
- Collector kids... - And also, just a while ago...
...I received another phone call. So I was really convincing...
...and pretended that I was being fooled...
"We're in a bit of a bind right now. There was..." (Community Safety Division)
"...a murder this morning along the river, you see."
"Everyone's tied up over there..."
"Can we reschedule?"
So it means, the cops are not coming.
- What?! - What should I do?
- Since I got carried away... - Yes?
50 million. I prepared 50 million...
- You have 50 million?! - No, I don't have it...
So it was a lie... You don't have it, right?
Okay, I get it! Let's do something about it.
Okay~! Those who want to see the "Ore, Ore" scammer...
...raise your hand. Come, come!
Anyone?
Say, let's help her out?
You have free time, anyway, right? So it's settled!
Macchan, I'll borrow this kid. Let's go!
Ei, ei, oh!
Say it with me. Ei, ei, oh!
Ei, ei, oh!
Peh-san! Pecchan!
You don't have to put out the welcome mat.
That person's a bad guy anyway.
But I can't sit still somehow...
My outfit... is it too strange?
You kinda look like a pale koi (carp) or something... Look! Like that ornament over there.
Yikes, Peh-san, so funny.
Like a koi...?
He's here, he's here!
Welcome to my home.
A kid?
You mean he's a baby face?
I work for Appare Life Insurance.
Your son had contacted us yesterday...
...about a traffic accident.
- Futoshi... - Just got back, mom.
You have a guest?
W-Wait!
He's running away...
...he's escaping!
What're you doing? Hurry and go after him!
Go, go after him!
We can't pass through!
The culprit's getting away!
I heard about it.
That you're living here now...
You're really cheeky, huh?
How did you manage to do that when we can't even live here?
Listen, you... I don't know if you're some girl who ran away from home but...
...don't you dare step one foot over at our place.
Since I have a daughter in middle school.
Don't you ever. Am I understood?
What kind of place did you grow up in?
- There's nothing like these. - Nothing? Huh?
- This... and that, too. - Yeah.
- That one, too. - It's the countryside huh?
Aren't you a person from Tohoku? Ishu, you said.
Here...
- What is this place? - What?
- It's Tokyo. - Tokyo?
Tokyo--... Oh, I see. You're from Tohoku, no doubt.
You have stuff like thatched roofs, and sunken hearths, right?
It's similar.
"There's still a number of ancient dwellings..."
Anyway, you haven't seen "Legal High" right?
During Part 1, what were they doing when... um...
~I had sewn a cloak~
~The wintry wind blows so coldly~
~How I had sewn away~
Ouch!
- Hajime... - It's been a long time... Mom.
- Why did you come... - Is Shinji going to school?
What? Oh, yeah.. he does.
- Are you sure? - What do you want?
You've got nothing to do with him anymore!
- Hurry and leave. - Are you really sure, Mom?
- Is Shinji really going to school... - Look...
You're not his father anymore!
I told you never to cross this threshold again!
- Somehow he got more than me. - 'Cause I got a pleasant face.
Good job. Then, four of you each gets 50,000. That'll be 200,000.
- See you. - Thank you.
50,000 just for this!
- Catch you later, Shinji! - Sure!
Shin-chan...
Is that so... He got away, huh?
What do you expect, it was your fault. After all the acting that I put in...
Other than a high school student...
...is there anything else you remember?
I told you it's a guy, a guy.
- That's not what I meant... - Oh, I hate this...
Oh, God, I hate this~...
- Then, don't tell me... - That's right... it's a crime.
I was told to just collect. Maybe.
Shin-chan...
Besides, you're to blame, right? For my messed up life.
It's because you're like that... that's why mom left.
Me and Grandma...
...do you know how much everyone in the neighborhood and school...
...made fun of us, you goddamn queer?!
Shin-chan!
Don't touch me.
It's our second anniversary... Thank you very much!
Wow! Here you go, Sensei.
- Thank you for your support. - Thank you.
Here you go, Macchan. Here, thank you for your support.
Here you go.
A bow tie? What will we do with these?
It's the in thing nowadays, give me one.
- Mitsuko. - Hmm?
Are you not feeling well?
- Nothing of the sort. - Okay, fine.
For you...
- I'll dip into my secret savings... - Oh, yippee!
Bring me the BEST~ non-expensive booze.
What?! Let's get the expensive stuff.
Ok then, something worth 40,000...here.
- Couldn't you give me just one more... - Geez...have fun.
Thank you for he gift!
Alright~! One order of the most expensive bottle please!
Sure, right away~!
Here. Okay, then, guess I'll drink, too.
Hey, do you have a family?
A kid sister.
- Macchan, are you okay? - You have a younger sister?
Where does she live?
Tokyo?
Are you in contact with her?
It's her family, of course she is.
Though surprisingly, I think the bonds we make ourselves with other people...
...are the ones that are strong. - Like us?
- Right, right. - No.
Even if we're separated...
...we're connected.
That's family.
Uh... I'll just go and poop~.
Sana, if you have a kid sister, please be honest with me...
This kind of thing can be problematic, you know...
- Sensei, come on. - Oh... Let's drink.
It's just you~!
You're Grandma's friend, right?
- What are you doing here? - Nothing.
Help me up.
Thanks.
Say, I'm Kanako. What's your name?
- Se--... Sana. - Sana-chan huh?
Let's be friends okay?
See ya.
Say, can I call you Sana-oneechan?
Good night.
"Onee-chan..."
(Trouble with the Mom was the Cause? Series of Missing Girls Incidents The puzzling disappearance of Murata Yukari)
Kanako... are you here?
I'm coming in.
Mother, let it go already.
Let go of what?
It's been already 24 years since...
Kyoko and I are already suffocated by it.
You're not worried about your own sister?
Don't say such a thing!
Yukari also hated those things... Hated your headstrong ways...
It's been 24 years, you know, but it's still not in the past.
Look, shouldn't you be more worried...
...about your own daughter?
What do you mean by that?
Just go back to your house.
Go!
- I'm leaving. - Yep, goodbye.
Sana.
Sana! The food is...
This girl...
Uh, I was going to explain...
Right now, we'll eat. C'mon.
And then, do you know what his reply was?
Eh? I dunno, I dunno.
"I love you~ heart mark".
- Seriously? - How stupid, right? That's Takahashi for you.
He definitely lived up to expectations.
- Yikes, man. That's just crazy. - Takashi's legend is from here.
I sent him 5 copies of the same email just because!
Seriously? You're evil...
Sorry, you can go ahead without me.
- Okay, see you tomorrow. - See you.
What do you want!
Let's go.
Wai-- "Go"? But where are we going?
Cops...
Where the heck are we going?
Hey... wait!
Is this really the place?
Yeah.
I was the transport clerk before so I'm sure of it.
- Transport clerk? - The person who carries the money.
You can't of course, expect most of us receivers to know the office's whereabouts.
That habit...
What about it?
Nothing. Let's go.
Hey, are you serious about going in? Hey!
Come in.
Well, I embezzled my company's money but...
- Hello, mom? It's me, me. Y'know, I... - What will I do tomorrow, I just dunno...
Mom, please. Give me money!
Please... I don't have much time.
Hey! What's the deal with you letting the extra baggage in with the collector kid?!
Please stop involving Shin-chan with this!
Stop? Are you seriously asking me that?
7 million.
Nope, 10 million.
Including the treatment costs for this guy!
And then I'll let him go.
- 10 million is impossible! - If that's the case...!
...please leave. - Fine.
If that's how you feel, then I'll call the police--
Look, man...
...how much do you think he has collected? It's 30 million, you know?
He's been doing a perfect job as a criminal accomplice.
Go ahead and call... the cops or whoever...
But...!
The life of your only son will be over, right?
He used to go to some elite prep school, didn't he?
Geez...
Aren't ya satisfied with just how derailed your son's life has become?
Oba-san*~? (*middle-aged lady)
Do you get it now?
I can't escape from it anymore.
My life is already over.
Goodbye.
- So he didn't come after all? - Mitsuko-san?
He called this morning to say he wasn't coming.
- He seemed off last night, right? - Wonder what happened?
- Okay, thanks. - You're welcome.
- Oh, hello, excuse me! - Oh, hello~.
Sana, let's go. Sana!
Hello! It's home delivery bento, Magokoro Apron!
Thanks for the hard work, Hachimaki-san.
- It's Yamaki*. (*"Ya" can also be read as "Hachi") - Oh, Yamaki-san.
Thanks for the food~.
Wow! As usual, Sensei, you're so popular.
I'm super jelly~!
"Jelly"?
- It means "jealous". - Oh, jealous!
Thanks for the hard work~. (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Josai Police Station)
It's that guy!
Hey.
Sorry.
- It's okay. - Sorry to make you wait, Charlotte.
- You're late, Caroline. - It took me time to prepare.
You look cute today.
(Get Housing)
Kimono!
This.
Real estate business.
Reel the state bee's nest?!
No, it's a place where you can sell or buy a house.
House?
What... What was that?
Hey, what was that about?
Alright, guys! Everything's on the house today!
- Eh? On the house? - Drink to your heart's content!
- Here, could this be free, too? - No no!
Isn't this 100,000?
Don't tell me you're closing down the shop?
She saw you inside a real estate agency.
That's correct~.
- I thought of selling this shop. - So how will you live?
Didn't you just celebrate your 2nd anniversary?
I'm thinking of going back to 2-chome.
And what will you do if you go back?
You went through a lot to save money...
...to put up the shop which you worked hard for.
- If you're in trouble, I will help you. - That's right.
Dasaitama*... (*She had misheard the name "The Saitama" earlier)
- To Dasaitama... - I'm not going home!
No way~, no, I mean...
Saying "DASAI-tama*" like that to someone... (*"Dasai" = lame)
...somehow got on my nerves.
Is this the so-called "love for one's hometown"?
Let's sing, let's sing.
~Saitama, Saitama~
Why did he say, he'll suddenly quit the shop?
- ~Side by side, side by side~ - It's weird.
~Macchan, Sana-chan, Sensei~
(Tohto Credit Bank)
Go ahead, boss!
Nice shot!
Eh? What do you want, Oba-san.
I said, I've prepared the 10 million.
As you promised, let Shinji go.
- It's 20 million. - What!
When you have 20 million available... I'll let him go.
You guys... just stop it already!
- Gimme that! - Stop... stop it...
- Give it to me! - No!
- Oi. - Yes, boss.
Ah, sheez!
- Let's go home. - Let's!
"Hey, dad. Do that thing. That thing~."
"That thing? Okay!"
"Thunder warrior, Goraiman!"
"Even if Thunder Dad forgives, the Thunder Sword will not!"
- "Thunder Beam~!" - "Ahhh~ You got me!"
"I wanna be like you, Dad!"
"A smart and funny person!"
"To be yourself is already enough."
"You're a smart and funny boy."
"Ah, you rubbed your nose, too."
- "Come and catch me~!" - "Hey, wait!"
"Why you... sticking your tongue out at your dad?"
Shinji!
He's dead, okay? Your dad.
So annoying. I know that!
(Snack Bar, Tenshukaku: Mitsuko, "mama" or proprietress)
(Shop for sale, Price: 15 million yen)
(Donjon, Snack Bar Tenshukaku)
Brr~! So cold--
Huh? ...Hey... it's closed?
Why... it has always been open...
Blood.
- Blood? - The smell of blood.
Where?
It's open?
Where is it coming from?
Mitsuko!
Macchan...
- Ouch! It hurts! - Suck it up, will you!
You're a man, aren't you? You're--... uh, a man, right?
What? What should I do?
How will I be able to come up with 20 million?
What you did was wrong.
You should have gone to the police right from the start.
You can't have your son thinking that you aren't going to do anything.
Because if I do that...
...my son's life will be messed up. It'll be my fault again.
Look... Is this the kind of cowardly life message that you want to send him?
You've worked so hard and succeeded. You made this shop, didn't you?
You persevered on your own, and succeeded.
You're a parent, right?
It's not like you happily threw that away.
"Please! I want to live with Shinji!"
"Just leave!"
"The father of this child is already dead!"
You're a cheerful person.
You always make all of us laugh.
You liven up the atmosphere of the place.
I heard you're doing "Martial Arts Caregiving"...
...because you want to take care of your mom someday?
You did nothing to be ashamed of.
Look at this hand!
It's so rough... How did your hands come to be so rough?
If you think your son did something wrong...
...you should straighten him out!
There's still time.
With this hand, you fix your son, good and proper.
Then, embrace him... and protect him. Okay?
M-Macchan...
Hello?
"Were you able to get it? The 20 million."
If you don't hurry, he'll die.
- This guy. - Please...
Please...
I beg you... please let me out of the group.
Why! How come Shinji is there?
- W-Wait! - Give it to me...
This is a grandma speaking.
Why only 20 million? So cheap.
I'll give 40 million, you just wait and see!
Sana.
Tenchu!
Aye.
10 million!
- It's 10 mill, right? - Yeah sure is!
- Hey! - "Hey, Daddy!"
"I heard that there are criminals from the 'Ore, Ore' scam inside this building."
"That's right, the criminals from the 'Ore, Ore' scam are in this building."
"Wow, really? The criminals from the 'Ore, Ore' scam are in this building."
Over there please.
Shin-chan!
"The criminals from the 'Ore, Ore' scam are..."
Are you looking down on me!
"The criminals from the "Ore, ore" scam..."
What are you doing? Hurry, let's get out of here!
Be quiet! I still have something to do.
- Your dream... - Hurry, get away from here!
You guys...
These scumbags are taking me lightly!
Shin-chan!
I'll kill you.
I have a better idea.
You...
...will die by your own hands.
And then, I'll spare this guy's life.
Alright, guys~!
The stage play of love between father and son...
...will start now~! - Woo-hoo!
Don't do anything weird.
The moment you try to shoot towards us...
...your son's brains will go SPLAT~!!
Hurry, point it in your mouth.
Here...
Or is it... that you don't really love your son after all?
I guess so... You value your own life most of all, huh?
You watch it well... How much your daddy loves you.
Don't cry, Shinji!
Don't cry.
Shinji.
What're you doing!
Don't do it!
Who da heck are you!
An ally of justice has appeared huh?
Justice?
For me, there's no such thing...
...as justice.
I do the work for one rice ball.
That is all.
Oi... Da hell's your problem, punk.
Watch out!
Sensei...
Go!
Sp-spare me please... Please?
I have money. It's in here.
You're a scoundrel for taking advantage of family ties.
I won't forgive you!
Tenchu.
Don't tell me that punk was...
A guy wearing a hood...
Hood! Hood!
Hood?
Shinji.
Be quiet. I know what to do.
I still have to hand you this.
This...
It's the dream that you chose, and went so far as to leave us behind for, isn't it?
Don't ever let go of it.
Shinji...
Dammit... Wonder if I can start over again?
You can still fix it, alright?
You'll be fine, Shinji.
Oh yeah!
Do that thing.
All right!
Thunder Warrior, Goraiman!
The Thunder Dad may forgive but the Thunder Sword will not!
Dad!
Thank you.
It's been so long...
...since you called me "Dad."
You know what?
That suit doesn't suit you after all.
See ya.
(Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Josai Police Station)
Shinji!
Get going.
I'm off.
(3 Billion Yen Total Damage, "Ore-Ore" Scam Group Leader Nabbed... Baba Iichi, Accused)
Serves you right, huh!
Thank you, Macchan. If it weren't for you, I'd be...
- I'm glad you're alright, Mitsuko. - Thank you.
- I'm truly relieved... - And you too...
Truly, thank you for saving Shinji.
- Let's drink up now. - Right. Let's drink.
- Alright, let's toast. Cheers~! - Cheers~!
Yay~...
Oh, welcome~!
Our royal guest has arrived~!
Mom...
Thank you.
You ARE a father after all.
That child's father.
Mom...
What are you doing there, weeping and all... Your mom came all the way here...
- How do you do? I'm Murata Masako. - Pleased to meet you.
She's Macchan. She has taken good care of me.
- And Shinji, too. - Come on in please.
- Please come in. - Please sit down.
This is your first time here, right, Ma'am?
- It's such a sloppy place... - It's not sloppy!
Oh, over here, I'm Mitsuko.
Call me "Mitsuko" okay?
(Criminal Division)
"A guy wearing a hood..."
"Hood!"
And that guy, too...
"Seems it was done by some strange guy wearing a hood."
Don't tell me...
Can I help you?
I want to ask you something.
It's the so-called "Nine-Hand Seals."
It's the protection spell... of the Shinobi (ninja).
Rin (Power), Pyo (Energy), Toh (Harmony)...
Sha (Healing), Kai (Intuition), Jin (Awareness)...
Retsu (Dimension), Zai (Creation), Zen (Absolute).
You know it very well, huh?
- Where are they now? - The Ninja?
There's no more Ninja left in this world.
The Ninja did play an active part until the Warring States Period...
Maybe around 400 years have passed since then.
No more...
...left in the world?
Are you...
...perhaps...
Are you one of those female history buffs going around these days?
Yukari-chan, if you don't come home soon...
...I will not be able to die.
After all, this home is Yukari-chan's.
Right?
Yukari-chan, what would you like to eat?
Right, you liked chirashi-zushi*... (*Sushi rice topped with ingredients)
No more left in this world.
No more left in this world?
No more left... in this world?
"Her name is Sana."
"She lives solely on the orders of her employer..."
"...a woman burdened with a sad contract."
"But where does she come from and why is she here?"
"No one knows the answers for now."
