Dinner

How have you been since you left the hospital?

I'm recovering quite well.

The other day I was able to start working again.

My boss jokingly asked, "Hey, haven't you gotten younger?"

Doctor, you're like a god.

Seeing the joyful faces of my patients makes me happier than anything else.

Oh right. I know this isn't much, but...

This looks delicious.

The other day the three of us went as a family to my wife's parents.

This is their specialty—

This is my favorite food.

S-sorry for bothering you.

I'll leave now.

Okay...

you guys clean up the rest.

Thank you very much.

How strange... I cannot detect the horror.

Don't tell me a Magic Ring is scared of a hospital?

This isn't funny. I feel anxious...

I guess we'll have to wait for night.

Kaoru!

Just what happened?

Well...

Kaoru... if you can't pay your rent, then please leave.

Well... my stuff is heavy and I need time to prepare to move.

OF COURSE!

I'll help you move out...

Isn't this nice? It was so tasteless so I painted over it.

Kaoru.

Yes?

Get out!

That's how it went.

Then what? You'll freeload while you're here?

Don't call me a freeloader. Let's just say we're sharing a room.

Why!?

First of all, you're painting all day and night, right!?

I won't be able to sleep!

I know!

I'll leave as soon as I find a place.

Eat this and calm down.

Go ahead.

Asami! Hang on!

Asami, are you okay!?

Doctor, you have to see this girl immediately!

Asami...

As I thought, I can't detect anything.

A special power must be permeating the whole hospital.

What are you doing!? Smoking isn't allowed in the hospital!

Doctor! Do you know where my husband is?

Who are you?

I'm Sawara, you performed heart surgery to save my husband.

You do not remember?

Sorry, but I have so many patients.

My husband went to see you, doctor, but never returned!

Sounds like he left you.

But I'm sure—!

The doctor is busy.

Wait a moment! Doctor! Doctor!

Please step back.

Looks like you've met quite the doctor.

No...

My husband owes that man his life.

Don't you know Dr. Tategami?

Looks like I don't.

Dr. Tategami's operations are said to be god-like.

My husband's heart surgery had a one percent chance of success...

yet the doctor was successful.

Plus he did the surgery completely alone.

Alone?

Just how did he do it?

I don't know how.

No one is allowed to watch Dr. Tategami when he is operating.

I think that's this hospital's rule.

But after my husband left the hospital...

I heard a rumor that troubled me.

Patients whose lives were saved by Dr. Tategami...

died, one after another since leaving the hospital.

And the other day my husband...

To interrupt my operation...

you must not know your etiquette.

And this is an operation?

Isn't your goal to devour people?

Please don't use lowly words like "devour".

All I'm doing is offering my patient a time of happiness.

What?

All of my patients who are saved by my operations...

shed tears of happiness.

They are glad to be alive.

They have hope that they will see tomorrow.

From the bottom of their heart, they embrace life.

The bodies of such people are full of life.

To me...

they are the finest delicacy.

In other words... patients are...

ingredients for bringing out the greatest flavor.

You won't be able to do as you please in my hospital.

This is my precious meal.

Please don't damage it.

In the hospital, smoking and summoning your armor are forbidden.

That is etiquette.

Why!?

It's a barrier.

There's a barrier covering this whole hospital.

Humans also give life to other animals just to kill them.

Zaruba, where's the barrier!?

I'm searching for it right now.

One of the world's greatest delicacies, foie gras...

is made by force feeding a goose...

causing its liver to expand.

By comparison, my way is much more fair.

Don't you think it's elegant?

At least I'm not as cruel as human gourmets.

I got it! It's that weather vane!

That!?

Don't be ridiculous!

A Makai Knight cannot approach my tokens!

Didn't you know?

Fall back. You're just going to fall into his hands.

It's no use.

Ow... Kaoru...

You ran away?

Against such a weak enemy?

Pathetic.

That Horror...

Pazus.

It seems Pazus has resided in that hospital for quite some time.

Why didn't you detect him?

Because of the barrier.

Is that why I wasn't able to use the Magic Flame?

Kouga.

You got a plan?

There is only one human who can break that barrier.

Human?

That barrier blew away a Makai Knight...

so if you send a human in there...

That would be true for a normal human...

Don't tell me you're going to ask that woman?

It doesn't seem very prudent to me.

Cheer up. Dad will definitely come back.

Thank you.

Dad!

Dad!

Be strong.

Why didn't you eat it? It's delicious.

Ah... I'll eat it later.

It's your fault I'm here!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

This is bad.

Please come, I'll treat it.

Oh... I don't want to trouble you for a little wound like this.

It's okay.

I'm sorry for bothering you for just little scratch like this.

No problem. You are definitely a very important patient to me.

Here.

Thank you very much!

By the way, you look a little pale...

are you okay?

Oh... lately I've been cutting my food budget...

Then why don't I give you an examination?

But... I don't have money now.

Don't worry about the examination fee.

I'll take care of it.

Really!?

Come.

What're you here for!?

Come.

Hey! Let go!

Hey! That hurts.

Hey! That hurts!

You really are a unlucky woman.

I need a favor from you.

See the weather vane on the roof?

Can you remove the tokens on there?

Wait a moment, what are you talking about?

If you don't do that, I can't summon my armor.

And why would I have to do such a thing?

If it's not you then there's no one else!

Why!?

You, who have been bathed in the blood of a Horror...

can touch a Horror's barrier.

I don't understand at all!

Busy?

Oh, doctor.

That man is a Horror.

He wants to eat you.

If I let him go, many people will die!

Believe me!

How about handing over that exquisite meal to me?

Go.

Hurry!

Man... why me!?

Why do I have to do this!?

Want to finish things?

Not bad.

The way you handle your sword...

is your father...

Saejima Taiga?

Why do you know my father!?

So it is true.

I do know him!

There was a rumor the Horrors devoured the last Golden Knight.

I heard it was a slow end...

Let go! Let go! Let go!

I did it.

It's gone!

Don't you understand!?

Can't you hear the joyful voices of the patients saved by my scalpel!?

Joy!?

That's right.

They die at the climax of their happiness.

Is there any greater joy!?

People who are killed do not feel joy!

Dad!

No! I will not acknowledge that!

Please.

For my last dinner...

Let me have that woman's flesh...

Stop fucking around!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm starved.

There are still many mysteries concerning the man, Saejima Kouga.

But I'm sure of this much...

he continues to fight to protect people.

And... that explosion of emotion...

People who are killed do not feel joy!

it was a mix of sadness and anger.

Those emotions made him seem very human.

You can't stop the flow of falling tears...

For the first time you showed me your vulnerable side

Someday your sadness will fade away

Without giving up, I will continue sending you my love

Sending it to you

For the heart that has lost everything...

I will make it so that it can dream again

I am sending you my love

I am sending you my love
