Senpai!
Shin-senpai!
I bought some food.
Were you sleeping?
I wasn't.
I just had my eyes closed.
Did you get the trash bags I asked for, Noi?
W-well, um...
I'm sorry, I couldn't find the brand you always get.
Damn, this place is really in the middle of nowhere.
By the way, senpai...
What were you thinking about with your eyes closed?
About En.
I wonder what kind of people his enemies are.
No matter how many times we clean up, it just never ends.
Well, what I do know is that En's just a real piece of shit, senpai.
I wonder which one of us can clean up more trash!
Wanna make a bet?
Eh... More importantly, what was in that rice ball anyway?
In The Bag
This is terrible...!
Hey, Nikaido!
Hm?
Caiman
Here's the lunch you asked for.
I'm not feeling well today,
so I'm resting. Return the box
when you are done.
Nikaido
Not feeling well?
Nikaido!
Nikaido, it's me!
Did something happen?
No worries, I'm okay.
It sure is cold with this rain today.
Did you know?
They say there's no rain in the world of the sorcerers.
And the rain here in the Hole...
Has the leftovers from the magical smoke they put out that accumulates into the sky and then falls down on us.
It's true.
It's the stuff that looks like black dust in the rain.
Of course it's harmful to humans.
The magic's still there after all.
But still, how lucky to have a girl prepare lunch for you.
Well, it's not like she's my girl or anything...
There! I got four brights!
Gimme all your matches!
Damnit!
Well then, as promised, my pay for this month just went up 30%!
I'm never playing Hanafuda with a damn reptile again!
Let's make it clean... scrub, scrub...
Faces too... clean and shiny... scrub, scrub, scrub...
It's about time for lunch.
Ta da!
Double box of ōba gyoza!
Thanks for the food!
Huh?
Caiman!
Could you take that trash and burn it?
Don't throw trash in front of someone who's eating!
Seriously...
Hm?
T-the trash is...
Heave-ho...!
One, two, three, four...
Seven, huh?
I wonder how many senpai got...
I really... wasn't going to kill you guys today.
But because you're so damn stupid...
And put your dear lives on the line...
Moron's like you should just die!
Damn...
Senpai!
I'm all finished over there!
Right.
Five, six...
You got seven too? I guess it's a tie, then.
No... There's still one left.
He might be just a geezer, but he's the only decent sorcerer here.
Cleaners from En's place, eh?
Did you kill my buddies?
I can't smell any smoke, though.
I won't be using magic against those who can't.
That'd be like bullying the weak, I don't like it.
You brat! Don't try to show off!
Makes no difference to those who get killed!
You fucking geezer... We just met, so what the hell do you think you know about me?
Very well...
Noi, bag.
Here!
Let's play, punk.
Take a good look, old man...
Someone like me is what it means to be a true sorcerer.
W-who are you...?
Why are you in that bag?
I'm a sorcerer.
That man made me like this...
And dumped me in Hole.
And you can't come out?
Take a look at me.
There's someone with magic like this?
You're from Hole too, right?
Then your grudge against sorcerers must run deep.
Please, kill me.
I was unconscious until now.
But his heartbeat woke me up.
Heartbeat?
The guy who cast the magic on you... What was he like?
Please tell me!
Hurry up and kill me.
Got it.
Thank you.
Caiman, did you take care of burning that trash?
It's the kind that really smells.
I feel like shit right now.
Hurry up and give me my money.
The hell is this, you bastard?
Why am I so irritated...?
I just killed a sorcerer like usual, that's all.
But for some reason I just got a really bad feeling about it.
Nikaido, it's me!
I returned the lunchbox.
Are you feeling any better?
Uh, hey...
Ah, no... Just forget about it.
See ya.
The gyoza were delicious.
Caiman!
You must be tired from work.
Stay for dinner!
You sure?
Yeah!
Looks like these bags were just fine, senpai.
Yeah, I'm glad they didn't tear.
Oh right! We got a call from En before the job.
Told us to get back right away.
Apparently he needs me to heal some girl...
Ah, that's right! I also got a call about the next job.
Well then, should we hurry back?
Don't be stupid.
Let's take our time and have dinner first.
Yeah!
H-help me!
Now you dumped it everywhere.
That's why I said the cheap bags are no good.
U-um, senpai...
Take responsibility and clean it up yourself.
Help me...!
That's right.
Five people tonight. Same table as usual.
Today we'll be serving some fresh veal liver!
We look forward to seeing you!
Veal liver, huh?
So they've infiltrated even my own restaurant.
So, do you want to talk now?
Moron.
Shin's magic can slice anything into pieces while they still live.
If you want to go back to how you were, tell me what you know.
Your body is still perfectly fine.
You've got so many people after your head!
I'm making your liver into pâté
You...
"Keep Quiet While Eating"
Let's go, Ebisu.
Welcome!
Um, this girl apparently comes to this place often...
Ah, but of course! Ms. Ebisu is a regular customer of ours!
Could you please get a new mask and clothes for her?
And then I also need you to pick something proper to wear for me as well.
Certainly.
In fact, the item Miss Ebisu ordered previously has now arrived.
I'm really not used to suits like this.
Hm? What's wrong, Ebisu?
Hurry up and put it on, we don't have time.
Could it be that you can't put it on yourself?
We do have a large changing room over there, if you wish to use it.
Eh?
The hell's this?
It's like a puzzle or a plastic model...
I can't tell the parts apart at all.
People can see your butt this way.
And when it's like this, your boob is out.
We're gonna be late!
Hm?
Senpai, if you wear your mask backwards, En's going to scold you again.
A-ah, that's right...
I hope you're wearing something proper as well, Noi.
I don't really see why we need to dress up for a dinner with that guy,
but I did it for your sake!
We made it...!
Huh?
I'm working for Mr. En, my name is Fujita!
Nice to meet you!
U-um, yeah, nice to meet you.
H-hey! Her tit's out! Is that okay?
I'm Fujita! Nice to meet you!
Is that what's in fashion now...?
Sorry to make you wait, I will show you to your table.
Please let me take care of your masks and coats.
What, so in the end we just take them off anyway?
My bad, senpai.
Here.
See? I told you was dressed properly!
Yeah...
Sh-
She was a woman...?
You're late, you bastards!
Don't act so high and mighty, you dumbass!
Here are your aperitifs.
It's been a while, Noi.
Have you been well?
What's this?
Kir and martini.
Don't ignore me, we're cousins, aren't we?
Eh? Cousins?
Shin, has Noi been of use to you?
Of course I have! Right, senpai?
Accompanied by braised... What does braised mean?
Well then. I want to talk about your new job right away.
En, if it's someone with a bunch of companions like before, then I'm sorry.
I just have to go on a rampage and kill weaklings like that.
It's so pointless, I'm fed up with it.
Don't worry. It's just two this time.
And moreover, it seems like this guy's pretty tough.
Right, Fujita?
Eh?
S-so... you're sending these two to kill that lizard-bastard?
Is that guy strong?
Magic doesn't work on him and it'll probably end up being a fight to the death.
Fight to the death...
Senpai!
I'm in!
Hey, what are you doing, Ebisu?
Wait!
Noi, I want you to heal the wounds of Ebisu here.
I'm interested in who cast the magic on that lizard-bastard.
Ebisu uses lizard-magic, so she might know something.
Senpai! Let's get the 1 kilo steak!
This is En's place after all!
Wha...?
Now then, about that lizard-bastard and the woman accompanying him...
Welcome, everyone!
Now, please enjoy our transformation show!
I'm Aitake...
...and I'm Maitake!
Nice to meet you!
Transformation magic specialists, huh?
That's supposed to be really difficult.
Awesome! They could impersonate some famous people!
Trans...
...form...
...ing!
Looks weak.
How is it? Do I look like him?
Hey, is it okay for us to drink something as well?
Were you the ones who got my call today?
That's right! Was the liver tasty?
I only eat mushrooms, you damn fakes.
Too late to realize it now!
Don't get yourself killed so easily, dumbass!
Why did you throw a fork? A knife would be more normal.
Don't get the wrong idea, Noi.
I just wanted to play a little.
Shit!
Run!
Idiots!
Find the real Aitake and Maitake.
They have to be somewhere.
If they are dead, use their corpses to cultivate the mushroom beds.
Use these for cooking, as usual.
What? So, the mushrooms we ate just now were...!
I, too, hate being wasteful, Shin.
Let's take a quick break.
Yo, gimme a beer!
Welcome!
That's filthy!
Hm? Hey, what happened to your face, man?
Shut up! What about yours?
I was used for "practice" three years ago...
You guys traveling?
We're looking for a sorcerer in Marumigi Hole.
Ah, that one "Needle" fellow!
Nasty!
I hear he uses needles to change people's faces.
I'd like to go to Marumigi to have this face changed as well, but...
There are just so many robbers and corpses everywhere there, you see.
Here!
Do something about that damn drool first!
Man, my face feels itchy for some reason.
Probably because of all that spit from the shopkeeper back there!
Fucking gross!
Sure lives up to its reputation. What a mess.
I wonder if there's even a hotel in a place like this?
Use the sixth tent.
But man, I'm starving!
I'll go buy something to eat, you keep an eye on our stuff.
Do you sell food here?
Food and plenty more.
This week we have this pork miso set and some mochi.
I thought I'd make curry...
Hand over your bag and your clothes, everything!
Coming at me right away, huh?
Don't bother, I don't have anything valuable.
Hurry it up!
Good grief, I guess I have no choice...
It's been a while, but I guess I'll go all out too.
Eh?
Don't step on my eyeball!
Uh, sorry...
When I get serious I just end up killing them right away...
Got away, huh?
I wanted to ask them where I can find the Needle.
Hm?
Valid till the end of December
Special Service
The one everyone is
talking about, The Needle
will cast his magic on you
This is...?
Hmm? Well, let's go to that bar right away then.
But that place is in the most dangerous part of Marumigi.
Really now.
So tasty!
Phew, we finally got here.
Just how many robbers are there in this town?
Now then, let's look for the Needle.
Ah, I want to get a drink before that.
Hey now...
Gimme a beer!
Hm?
Hmm?
How is it going with your magic?
Hm, not too shabby!
Hey, sorcerer!
Eh?
Huh? Who's in there?
You're not the one.
Hey!
Huh?
What did the man in my mouth say to you?
Ah, "you're not the one".
That so?
Well then, die.
- Caiman!
Did you find him? How did it go?
Got the wrong one again, I'm gonna kill him now.
W-wait just a moment! Why would you kill me?
You came to see me, right?
I'll use my magic to to change that miserable face.
Don't call it that!
Magic doesn't work on me.
Changing faces is my specialty, there's no harm in trying, right?
It hurts!
Ow, ow, oww!
Give it a moment and you should have a human face.
Do you want a fortune telling in the meantime?
It hurts like beings stabbed!
I got your result.
It seems that you are going to have some troubles because of a "heart".
A heart? What does that mean?
You mean we should be careful not to get sick or something?
The reading I got means death.
Be careful, I'm usually right on the money.
Nikaido...
Nikaido!
Something's weird with my face!
Caiman!
You... Your face...!
Huh?
Hm? Ah! I shed the skin!
No wonder my face was so itchy!
Hold on, you can shed?
I learned that for the first time today.
Let's go, Noi.
To Hole!
What we learned from the second curse:
1. Caiman can play Hanafuda.
2. Sorcerers eat French cuisine.
3. Caiman sheds.
And what you will learn from the third curse...
That's still a mystery.
That is...
