En?
You damn monster!
Doc!
Th-This guy...!
Squee!
Now!
Sque...!
Jonson!
Go to the second floor, everyone!
Come, Jonson!
Sque!
It's just emergency first aid, but...
Thanks, Thirteen.
He's here!
Huh...?
Nikaido! Where are you going?
Just wait a bit!
Huh? No, wait...!
Nikaido.
Huh?
Come here for a moment.
Asu!
You're in danger, so I made this mask specifically for you.
This mask has the power to enhance your magical power.
It'll surely prove useful to you.
If I use this, I might be able to beat that thing.
But that would mean becoming a sorcerer again...
This ends here!
You think he's dead?
Who knows. We can't let our guard down yet.
Welcome, Nikaido.
"Lonely Caiman"
Nothing to do...
In a few hours Blue Night will be over...
Did you find the person you were looking for?
Nope, no luck at all.
I wonder if he's even here.
By the way, where's the president and Kirion?
Ah, those two went to En's place to sell our pies.
Huh? That's weird. The devils are coming out of the house...
Let's wave at them, Caiman!
Ah, sure.
Now then, Nikaido...
I have a ton of questions I want to ask you.
But first...
Nikaido!
I'll make sure you stay put.
You goddamn rooster-head!
Hm?
What are you going to do to Nikaido?
He called you a rooster-head!
Thirteen!
Now then, I'll start with the questions.
Nikaido, are you the one who can control... Hm?
Bang!
Well, if it isn't Chidaruma...!
Yo, En! Been a while!
How cold of you to not tell me about this!
What's the matter? Is it okay for you to leave the house?
What are you saying?
I always make sure to hand my business card to great sorcerers.
This is the sorcerer who controls time?
So that card was a devil's business card, huh?
And Nikaido's magic is...
So you truly are the sorcerer who controls time?
Alright then! Let's start the contract ceremony!
Let me introduce her. She's my partner, Nikaido.
Just where did you find her?
She doesn't really seem to be consenting to me.
Now now, split up the men and women and go cleanse your bodies.
I'll leave her to you, Noi.
Nice to meet you, Nikaido!
Huh? Have we met somewhere?
We'll wash our bodies with this water.
My belly's going wild for some reason...
That's why I told you not to eat stuff you find on the ground!
Your back is injured!
I'll heal you up.
I'll hold her down, so you wash her, Ebisu.
Sit still now!
And what Kikurage's eating...
What a chore!
Huh? Where's Ebisu?
Went to the toilet.
We'll get started now!
Be still.
Here I go.
Now then, En! Please use my pen to sign her contract.
And now for En's contract...
Just sign it!
Good! You two finished signing?
Now, exchange the contracts with each other and put them back into your bodies.
Please take care of me from now on as well, senpai!
Yeah!
Hey, you too!
Stop...!
Everyone, Blue Night is now over.
We look forward to seeing you in four years.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Ebisu! Blue Night is over!
My belly hurts...
"Before Nightmare"
Now then, for this morning's news...
We have a follow-up report regarding mr. En's new partner...
- Ah, shit...
His search for a sorcerer with time-related magic has been well known...
Now I've done it...
Spit it out! Tell me where that lizard-bastard is!
What a stubborn kid! Just let me hear some screams!
"Always keep your cool" is my motto.
But more importantly, isn't it time for dinner soon?
Don't get cheeky with me!
Squee...!
I can't see anything... What is going on?
See ya.
Squee!
Oh man...
The way they treat us sure is unreasonable, huh?
But I wonder why they are looking for Caiman...
Well, It's not like I have any clue about his whereabouts anyway...
Professor Kasukabe...
Huh?
What happened to Nikaido?
Nikaido! Nikaido!
Professor!
Your wounds are terrible! What in the world happened?
Don't worry about me. You're looking pretty pale yourself.
I just hurt myself a little when I was struggling earlier.
Looks like escaping is gonna be tough for us both.
We'll come up with something.
That aside, Nikaido. What happened with those guys?
- Shock... ing...
This place is..
I think this room was...
Huh?
What's this? Whose blood is this?
Looks like it just got there.
Better wash my hands...
This is weird...
It feels like I know the layout of this room.
Blood again...
I shouldn't open it!
Or rather...
I got the feeling I've regretted opening this door before...
A corpse...!
Hm?
Yes?
Wh-Who are you? What did you say just now...?
C-Can't breathe...!
A dream...
Was that dream from my past memories?
Or was it just a dream?
That phone...
I get the feeling I was told something important, but...
I don't remember what.
Risu... The Cross-eyes... The headless corpse Nikaido saw...
And the man in my mouth...
Just what am I?
And even if I get my memories back, will I be able to keep living in Hole with everyone?
Together with Nikaido...
Yo, Caiman!
President Tanba!
You come to this park every night.
That's not...
I just couldn't sleep.
Sorry for waking you up.
That's a lie.
There must be a reason for this.
Just like with Blue Night.
It's got nothing to do with you, prez.
The hell? I'm your employer!
- Ow! That hurts! Ow!
I'll tell you! I'll tell you!
Ah, geez...
I've got no memories of my past.
Or about who made me like this.
So I'm looking for 'em. The one who cast the magic on me.
My only clue are the guys with cross-marks on their eyes who show up in this park.
I see, so that's why you're broke and homeless.
Alright! I'll help you too!
Huh? It's fine...
I said I'm gonna help you, goddamnit!
Got it! Got it! Understood!
But why?
There's nothing in it for you...
Moron. When someone's in trouble isn't it only natural to give 'em a hand?
And besides, you helped Fukuyama when there was nothing in it for you.
President Tanba...
Well, I said I was going to help you, but...
Only when the shop's free and there's nothing else to do.
And now I'll go and have a nap!
Hm?
Oh right! I know one!
A guy with those cross-marks on his eyes.
What's this place, prez?
The prison.
That Cross-eye guy is a regular customer of ours.
"Scary Manju"
So hot! Gotta take my mask off!
The prison's the closest place to hell in this world.
That's the heat of hellfire.
This humidity and heat are going to make the pies go bad...
You guys barely made it. Shimizu's execution is today.
What?
You got visitors, Shimizu.
You came, president Tanba!
Yeah! I got the letter.
Wanting our pies for your last meal... You're gonna make me cry!
The cross-marked eyes...!
Did the face surprise you? Got burned when they took me.
Just what the hell did you do, Shimizu?
It's a stupid story...
I sold sweets I called "devil manju" through mail order...
Something that tasteless is just not good...
Well anyway, eat up!
Thanks!
Fried better than my face!
Huh? Wh-What's this place?
Hey! Caiman...!
You idiot! What the hell are you doing?
Wh-Who's there?
You're not the one!
Risu? Impossible! You're...!
Supposed to be dead!
The hell are you doing?
Did you mistake him for a pie because of the heat?
Hey you! What did the guy inside say to you?
H-He... His ghost said "you're not the one"...
Do you know the man in my mouth?
You... Those marks on your eyes...
Are you one of us? Did the boss tell you to come?
Boss?
That guy...
A face?
Hey! Let me see!
It's time. The sentence has been carried out.
Wait up!
Wait!
You damn moron, Caiman! Let go!
At this rate you'll be pulled down to hell too, Caiman!
Hell?!
Shit!
Lizard-man, Caiman.
A-Another devil!
Your friend Nikaido is now...
Imprisoned in En's mansion and she's in danger.
Please save her.
Nikaido is...?
What's that about?
Caiman.
You're not going to go to En's mansion, are you?
President... Just who is this En guy?
He's a real big shot and handles all sorts of businesses.
If you get in his way he's gonna turn you into mushrooms with his magic. A really dangerous guy.
Speaking of En...
I remember that one incident...
One day, six years ago...
A city named Mastema was suddenly enveloped in black smoke.
When it cleared up after a few minutes, the buildings and all living things there...
Had turned into mushrooms!
People call it the "Death Shroom Incident".
The details remain shrouded in mystery.
It's still legendary among sorcerers, even now.
That so?
Sorry, but I gotta ask for some time off from the shop.
Caiman!
- Caiman!
I don't mind if you fire me.
Aren't you overestimating your strength a bit here?
You're taking this so seriously... Is she your woman, by any chance?
Nah, not like that.
You're gonna die.
I'm going to save my friend.
Wouldn't be any point to it if I died.
I see!
Actually, I was going to take the pie wagon to En's mansion tomorrow, but...
I see! I see!
You're quitting? That's too bad!
Oh dear, I'm starting to get tired of living like this.
I wonder if both our bodies and souls will end up withering to nothing in this filthy torture room...?
Sque! Sque sque sque!
Did you make a friend? That's great, Jonson!
Squee!
Did the little one manage to unlock your handcuffs?
You think he could open that door as well?
Sque sque sque!
Nikaido! We'll be able to escape from here...
You too... Huh?
This is bad, are we too late?
No matter how many times I see it, I just can't believe it.
To think there was a sorcerer who can control time...
I'm surprised she didn't get caught by your information network, Chidaruma.
Here. Her mask.
This was made by Asu.
I thought he was hiding something from me, but...
That aside, could you please make her a mask that's more suitable for my partner?
Sure thing! I'll give it my best shot!
Is everyone here?
Let's do the introductions again.
This is my partner Nikaido.
Nice to meet you.
A new mask!
That girl sure became obedient.
And she was resisting so much!
Since you guys made your contracts in mutual agreement, you might not know this...
The devils' contracts also have the power to let you control your partner.
Is that true?
I'm against this!
Mr. En! That woman...
Killed Matsumura with that lizard-bastard and tried to kill Ebisu as well!
Hm?
That woman is dangerous!
You can never know for sure whether she's going to go for your head when you sleep!
I told you there's no problem since we signed the contract.
Yummy! Yummy!
But...!
Forget your grudge against Nikaido.
Focus your grudge on the lizard-man instead.
She's my partner.
Yes sir...
Sweet potatoes...!
Gimme one!
Coming up!
More butter!
Matsumura...
En told me to forget it, but...
I just can't bring myself to be all buddy-buddy with the person who killed my friend.
But I don't have the guts to leave the family either...
I'm so worthless!
I'm sorry, Matsumura...!
Damn it!
Fujita!
You wanna hug?
Ebisu...
Thanks for cheering me up
By the way, Ebisu...
About you and me...
I'm sorry, but we'll be taking the food.
Isn't that my gun?
Huh? I've seen those guys somewhere!
Central Worms!
That's it!
They must've been brought here along with Nikaido!
Triangle seen at the open sea...!
- At this rate the sweet potato seller will be in serious danger!
Sharks! Sharks!
Ebisu! Transform into that weird lizard and take care of them!
Peace Sharks!
What...?!
You can do it! You gotta help your friends!
Hey, you guys!
Squemunch?
Let the sweet potato seller go or you're gonna die!
Now, Ebisu!
Fujita, Fujita, the worst kinda guy...
No money, no luck and no friends...
Keeps going on about this Matsumura guy...
Fujita, Fujita, he's so useless!
Trans...
Form!
Wh-What happened, Ebisu?
Not enough smoke...
Sorry, but if you get in our way I'll have to shoot you.
It's not like me, but our lives are at stake here.
Sque! Squee!
I'll let you pick which I'm gonna gouge.
Your head? Or your heart?
What we learned from the tenth curse:
1. En has Nikaido in his hands.
2. Caiman's nightmares are a gateway to his past.
3. "Devil manju" can cost you your life.
And what you will learn from the eleventh curse...
That is still a mystery.
That is...
