- Hello. - Hello.

Mommy, I got the plates out so can I?

Mm... I don't know...

Then, I'll eat the carrots.

And I will also eat the pepper.

So can I?

You will have to ask daddy.

But daddy never lets us get anything fun...

That's not true.

I'm home.

Hi!

Hi!

Hello.

Daddy, I'll eat my carrots and the pepper so,

can we get a cat like the man from Building B?

Well...

Can you look after it like it's a member of the family?

Eh?

I can! I can! I can!

Ta-dah!

It's a kitty!

Daddy, I love you!

Someone at work was looking for someone to take care of it.

The kitty will grow up with you, Rina. I can't wait to see it!

Me too, Rina.

Did you decided on a name?

Sunday!

Eh? Sunday?

What a weird name.

Today's Wednesday.

You love Sundays, don't you, Rina?

Yes!

Because she can spend the whole day with daddy on Sundays, you know?

Should I really give up on dismantling my dad's used bookstore?

Don't tell me you want to run it...

If I did, everyday would be like a Sunday, Rina.

Sunday is so cute.

Say meow!

Meow...

Mommy, buy this for me!

I've already bought you chocolate, so put that back.

You are so mean, mommy.

Yes, yes...

Come on, let's go.

The sweets, the sweets!

Stop it!

I'll get mad.

I'm coming!

Who is it?

I was behind you in the line at the supermarket.

Your child dropped this box of sweets...

What?

Well, I'll just leave it here.

Rina, did you secretly bring the sweets from before?

No.

Married women clearly want this, don't they?

I'll call the police!!

I'm coming in!

Shut up!

[Sunday's Home]

Daddy! Daddy!

I told you to shut up!

Daddy! Daddy!

Dadd...

RINA!!

Stop...

NO!!

We kindly ask for your understanding.

We are currently investigating, so please understand it.

Excuse me...

I live in the apartment 203.

Did something happen?

Are you Kamonome-san?

Yes...

According to emergency services, the child showed particularly severe signs of physical abuse...

Most probably, the mother tried to protect her child.

Apparently, she was found dead with her body lying on top of the child.

Wait! Wait!

Hey! Takeshi!

Hey! Takeshi!

Takeshi!

Don't get the wrong idea.

I'm neither a police officer nor a judge.

Neither a moral teacher, a priest, nor a super hero.

I'm a revenger.

You made a little kid you suffer and killed her.

That's why I will make you suffer and kill you.

It's that simple.

Let's move away.

["I wanted to love you"]

Do you know about liquid nitrogen?

It's a liquid used as a coolant.

When it comes into contact with skin or other living tissue, it can easily cause frostbite.

It is at minus 200 degrees Celsius.

Shortly... Your cells will burn out and die.

St... Sto...

Stop... Please...

What did you do to the child who cried and asked for help?

Say "I'm sorry" 1,000 times.

Say it 1,000 times.

Do you know who you have to say sorry to?

T... To... Rin... To Rin...

That's right.

Keep apologizing as you think of that kid.

I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry...

R... Rin...

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Rin... Rin... Rin...

You always gotta take it to the next level, Kamo.

But, still...

I ain't ever forgivin’ scum like him.

That's the one thing we got in common.

Use the futon in the storeroom.

I'll take you home when you wake up.

Go to bed already.

Fiend's Song Episode 3

[Used Bookstore KAMOME]

Hey!

Hey, Kamo!

You listenin’ or what!?

You're not, huh?

Huh?

Hey!

At least look at me, will ya!?

Think real hard ‘bout what you did!

Such a heartless thing!

I've been waitin’ for 32 volumes for the final one!

And you sold it to the first person who showed up?!

That was an item for sale.

That's why I tucked it away behind the counter!

Idiot! You blockhead!

Read some books and improve your lexicon.

What the hell are you talkin’ about!?

Huh?

Hey, what was that ‘lexicon’ thing again?

I mean... I've heard it before, tho.

There's a dictionary over there.

Take the dictionary.

Take the dictionary?

If I grab the dictionary,

is there some kinda trick that'll make something good pop out?

Huh?

What...

Huh?

Oh! Welcome!

Come in, come in!

[Under preparation]

Ah, so you are going to be hospitalized?

Yes. Probably this is the last time we'll meet.

Thanks to you, I've been freed from that dark hatred.

We'll try to move on even if it's just a bit.

I hope the someday that little girl will stop crying.

If anything goes down, hit us up anytime.

Thank you very much.

Right?

Sorry, he's just an unfriendly dude.

No, no... We are in debt to you.

It's nothing.

What the hell?

Well then, good-bye.

Take care!

Kamo-san, did you get your revenge?

Aarg... Thanks to a certain someone,

I gotta buy the final volume now...

Need a ride home?

I will live here from this point on.

What?

Tora-san, Kamo-san, thank you for letting me stay here.

Thank you, Sunday.

I'm fine with the futon in the storeroom.

Wa... Wait, wait...

You are talking nonsense again.

Huh?

Live here?

That murderer's on the loose.

And I also helped you with your revenge.

No matter how you look at it, it's dangerous for me to stay alone.

Even if that's true, it's total nonsense.

Obviously it's not going to be forever.

Please, let me stay here until I find that guy and get my revenge.

Please.

[Matsukura Publishing]

Hi, Sonoda-kun!

Hello!

Thank you for the other day.

Regarding that... I have brand-new information.

The abuser Kishimoto Shuuhei...

He...

Apparently he was found dead.

Woah...

It seems the cause of death was asphyxiation and the body was left in a manhole.

And this is information from an insider,

but I heard he had frostbite marks all over his body.

He was tortured...

There isn't any information about a suspect.

Frostbite...

The girl who died was also tortured with ice, didn't she?

The risk of killing a famous person is also very high...

Only someone with a lot of determination would do it.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Is something wrong?

Is there anything we can help you with?

My family...

Would you help them?

Hello.

What is it?

Are you this person's daughter?

Dad?

What happened?

Is there a woman called Kakinuma-san there?

Dad, what were you thinking!?

Setsuko, I'll put an end to this... All of you are acting weird...

This gentleman was quite confused,

and he didn't explain himself very well.

Hello!

I am Kakinuma.

Hello.

What is your relationship with this family?

She's someone who has helped us a lot.

She is now staying with us...

And she is guiding us in various ways.

Kiyotsugu-kun, this woman is trying to take our house away, isn't she?

Sir, are you trying to make me laugh?

Setsuko-san, you need to explain this properly.

Recently, my father has started to develop dementia...

Hey, Setsuko!

You...

If you miss this opportunity, there will be no turning back.

Madam, what is that bruise in your arm?

Eh?

To tell you the truth...

This girl, Mai-san, is in her rebellious phase

and there was some domestic violence.

That's why I was called.

Is that true?

Yes.

It was me.

That's not true, it's a lie.

This woman

made Mai to hit her. Right?

Isn't that right, Mai!?

What this grandpa is saying is that

an acquaintance introduced you to this lady to perform an exorcism rite,

but she is just tricking you to steal your money.

I'm really sorry. It's not like that at all...

Father, let's take a bath and go to bed, okay?

Don't be an idiot...

It's... Come on, let's ask the police for protection.

Well, this is a family problem so

Please, have a deep talk with your father so that he can understand.

Hey! And you are policemen!? You idiots!

Come on, help me!

Come on!

Sorry about this. Thank you for your work.

We'll be going then.

Excuse us.

I'm terribly sorry!

My father did something terrible...

An exorcise will be necessary.

Okay, grandpa, let's go.

It's dangerous to be wandering alone.

Okay, stand, stand up...

Come on, let's go.

Don't kill me...

We are going to properly cleanse your soul, grandpa.

I understand how you feel, but

not eating causes misfortune.

The fox slips into the cracks of a weakened heart.

To keep it at bay, you need to make energy circulate.

That's... Where the devil was hiding...

A mujina!

T/N: A mujina is an evil creature in Japanese folklore with the shape of a badger.

A mujina!?

A big mujina.

Its four claws are firmly digging into your soul, Setsuko-san.

In order to exorcise it, I need a powerful amulet...

It must be affixed to the box of lightning from the Dragon God.

An offering is needed to some extent.

Excuse me, but...

How much...

Mmm?

Setsuko-san, do you recognize the name Kamiya Kyuubee?

Yes...

This is something my parents told me...

But actually, we had an ancestor who committed murder during the Edo period...

I heard the person who was murdered was a merchant named Kamiya Kyuubee.

Yes.

He was stabbed and thrown into a well, right?

That's exactly what I was told!

I see.

Thanks to the mujina, now I know the roots of the curse.

Can't we say this is good fortune?

The rest depends on Kiyotsugu-san.

So...

I will be able to have it in two months...

It's not possible to receive the money after making the talisman.

Money has spiritual power.

It's necessary to make spiritual power circulate.

Mai! Good morning!

Ririka, good morning.

It's been a while!

By the way, are you okay? Wasn't it the flu in the end?

No, it was just a cold. I'm feeling better now.

Wait, you don't look well at all!

Is that so?

Hey,

where's Mai?

She went to the infirmary during the previous class.

Thanks!

Mai!

Are you cutting class?

Did something happen?

I just yawned.

Mai...

I was just yawning, really.

Is someone bullying you in class?

Is that why you aren't coming to school?

Nothing happened, really!

Hey...

My grandpa...

What happened to him?

My grandpa's soul is being purified...

He can't speak right now, so I feel sorry for him.

What?

His soul?

An exorcist is driving an evil fox out...

What?

It's okay if you don't believe me.

She is an amazing exorcist.

I see...

Since she came, every time something happens, she purifies us.

[Used Bookstore KAMOME]

C’mon!

Ah, what the...

Hi!

What? You back again?

Try buyin’ a book once in a while.

What? I do it every now and then!

Ah, this is my friend Mai!

Hey,

you even eatin’ properly?

Eh?

Yes, as far as it goes.

Woah, no! No! No!

Are you playing video games again?

Shut up, you dummy!

You really have a lot of time in this used bookstore, huh?

So... About one month ago,

a real annoying dude with tattoos tried to hit on me

and the one who helped me at that time was this violent person.

Hey! Who's violent!?

I'm your savior!

Look, isn't he scary!?

He looked like he had no friends so I come here from time to time to keep him company.

I'll beat you up!

See? He's always trying to solve everything with violence.

Well! I'm workin’ here, so

if you just came to bug me, go home already!

What? I'm here to buy a book, fyi.

Just buy it then!

I'll take my time to choose it!

"Choose it."

Mai, keep him company.

What?

Man, how do you even stay friends with someone with those murderous claws?

She is quite kind, even though she looks like that.

Well, I guess so.

So, you havin’ fun at school?

I went to school today after a while, and it was fun meeting my friends.

You caught a cold or somethin’?

Well, a lot happened...

But now I can see a light of hope, and someone is saving us.

Is that so?

I'm... Happy for ya!

Oh?

Mai-chan?

Yes?

I'll go home now.

Welcome!

Your mother seems to have something urgent and needs you, Mai-san.

Okay, thank you.

Ririka, I'm sorry. I have to go home.

Okay! Bye!

Mai,

see you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow.

Hey, hey! What do you think?

That old guy ain't normal.

Even the way that girl reacted was off.

I thought the same.

Out of the blue, you send me a message

rambling about an exorcist and a fox…

What's that all about?!

That's why I brought her here!

She talked about seeing a light and being saved...

Weird things to be sayin’.

Well,

she was crying because her grandpa's soul was being purified...

Isn't that crazy?

What the heck?

That sounds like a cult brainwashing.

You're so good eavesdropping...

What a terrible hobby!

This is our freeloader, a total eavesdropping maniac.

What?

Freeloader?

What do you mean?

Ah, I'm related to the shop's owner.

Ah, that creepy old man?

Yes!

I see. So?

I looked it up and

There are many cases where people are brainwashed into believing they are possessed

by evil spirits or bad foxes, and then exorcised to extort their money.

Well, it's a technique of spiritual religions or cults.

They make people miss work or class,

make them cut ties with society and isolate them,

make them follow special rules,

and they control them mentally and physically

In most cases, the entire family are brainwashed.

It's just like that! It's terrible! What do we do!?

Hi!

Hello...

Should we not ask Kamo-san?

Let's not tell any of this to Kamo.

He would only complicate things.

Do you know that girl's family?

Yes. They are a very close-knit family.

I see.

Okay, then, I'll go and talk to them.

They'll be wary if you suddenly try to talk to them.

Ah!

I've...

Come up with a plan!

I'm home.

Hello.

[Exorcism]

Setsuko-san,

we brought Murata Mai-san home so

the critical situation has been avoided.

Thank you very much.

Setsuko-san had doubts,

so the mujina attracts Mai's soul and leads it astray!

And you revealed what happened here to the outside world!

No! I didn't say anything!

Are you sure?

Are you sure you didn't say anything?

It isn't too late yet.

Think carefully.

If you said it, then say it.

Be sincere.

Lying is no good.

Fo... Forgive me!

I said, our family was being wrapped in light...

Listen,

what do you think it is necessary for Mai-san now?

An exorcist is necessary...

The tools are here.

This site is private property of the Club,

so it doesn't matter how much noise you make.

The aggressor inflicted 27 cuts on your daughter.

There was no fatal stab wound

so the victim bled out slowly over time.

We have created a manual based on the information we have obtained.

In the same angles, and same depth,

inflict 27 cuts on him and let him bleed out slowly.
