Original subtitles

Mayuko is so cute when she's asleep.

Oh, no. I'm supposed to be keeping watch!

I hear something.

What?

ORIGINAL WORK BY TSUINA MIURA ILLUSTRATED BY TAKAHIRO OBA

"I Won't Give in to This World."

Oh, my apologies.

I know Masks can't converse.

Is this woman

an idiot?

Talking to a Mask like that!

You deserve to face despair!

-Halt unnecessary action. -What?

It is unnecessary to give this human despair.

This human has already reached a level close to God.

What's with this Command?

This realm is a facility to create God.

What is this "God"? I need specifics.

It is unnecessary for an Angel to interfere with one close to God.

Well, are you okay?

This realm is a facility to create God.

Those who wear the masks are "Angels"

and must perform the task of bringing humans closer to God.

So the Command ends there?

And it said, "Angel's task."

Well, good. You seem to be all right.

I seem to be at a loss at present.

This woman is "close to God"?

What could that mean?

Well, whatever.

Hey.

Would you let me ask you something?

So you can speak, sir?

My name is Kuon Shinzaki.

Well, I was so scared, and…

Hey, wait…

Honjo?

Oh, Mayuko! Good morning!

So, an Emotionless Mask came?

These will do just fine. Let's eat them later.

And what's this?

A belt?

No, wait. Is it a knife?

Hold on! Let me see, Honjo!

Whoa, what's the matter, Mayuko?

Well, that's a rather pretty knife.

Honjo, would you mind if I kept this one?

Oh, that's right, you don't have a weapon right now.

It only makes sense that you hold onto it.

Thank you!

Mayuko really loves knives, doesn't she?

Okay!

After we eat and call my brother, let's give it our all!

Minus some aspects, this realm is exactly the same as our original world.

Yuri, did something happen to you?

Hey, Yuri. You're alive?

-Oh, I'm sorry. -What?

Well, I'm an ally of Yuri Honjo's.

My name is Mayuko Nise.

I just answered without thinking since Honjo's sleeping,

but this situation is…

-so awkward. -So awkward.

Oh, Mayuko Nise, was it?

It's a pleasure.

Is Yuri, my sister, okay?

-She's asleep. -I couldn't eat another bite, Mayuko.

We were just eating together a minute ago,

but then she fell asleep.

I'm sorry about my sister.

She has a bad habit of suddenly sleeping anywhere.

-It's a pain to wake her up. -Rika, you're…

-the best man that's ever lived. -If you'd like, I can relay a message.

Right.

Shoot her to death, right now.

I'm sorry about before, Mayuko.

Excuse me?

It's nothing. I just wanted to apologize.

So Mayuko Nise,

I'm going to trust you to share my reports and plans with her.

Right.

Oh, this is nice!

Undeniably très bien!

That high school girl in the blazer will make a fine ingredient!

I'm so glad I came to this world!

I'm so glad I put on this mask!

But, you know, it feels like something is missing.

If I get that girl's stuff, I'll feel fulfilled!

Très bien!

Now, down to business.

We should call it for today.

But before I go, there's one thing I want you to know.

Yes?

I'll be counting on you to look after Yuri.

Yes, of course!

Yuri…

Yuri will be under my protection!

To think you really didn't know a thing.

Well, Mr. Mask, if you're okay with it, could we perhaps operate as a unit?

I'm getting anxious being on my own.

Sorry, but I've got obligations here too.

You're better off searching for some human to team up with.

Right. I understand.

Yes.

There's a pair of high school girls just like you.

Come. I'll search with you for a bit.

But that's assuming they're still alive.

Yes!

Hey, woman. I'll leave if you don't hurry.

Excuse me, Mr. Mask!

I'm not sure how I feel about being called "woman."

Okay, but what else should I call you?

Well, maybe you could just call me by my name, "Shinzaki."

No thanks, calling you that would be kind of lame.

Just don't worry about it, woman.

Geez! What a brazenly rude person!

If this building is also empty,

gathering allies has really hit a wall.

Stop worrying.

We've only just commenced operations.

Getting flustered so early on is a bad habit.

What?

Mayuko, we may be the same age but you're just like an older sister!

Big Sister Mayuko!

Big… sister?

Thanks, that cheered me up!

Big Sister Mayuko!

Since I was little, I've been unwanted.

I've even been told I'm the type who'd never find happiness.

Of course, it's your fault, Mayuko!

Teacher, I think it was Nise's fault!

I think so!

If it weren't for you, this would've never happened!

The shame of our house!

It's not my fault!

What a turn of events.

To come into this world of despair only to find happiness.

Bonjour!

Au revoir!

Hang on a second!

Right now, this very moment,

is the only time I didn't want to die!

Au revoir!

Mayuko?

Welcome to heaven! Nice to meet you!

My name is…

Well…

You can just call me Mr. Chef Mask!

Mr. Chef Mask?

Good. So very good.

Just exceptional.

What is this guy?

He's speaking normally.

Something's off about this Mask.

Wait! I'm going to jump off now.

A Mask can't kill a suicidal human, can they?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It turns out my mask came with a defect,

so that's not going to work.

I hear the Commands in my head.

But as you can see, I managed to preserve my own will!

And get this. All the abilities from the mask just stuck around!

I'll kill him.

Like all the ones before him.

Another truly wonderful face!

You really do have the good stuff!

If I have your stuff, I won't need…

any other stuff!

It's Mayuko's fault!

Killing that person makes you bad!

Help me!

It's true. I'm the bad one.

I'm bad for living on.

For killing people and living on.

I…

I…

I'm…

From behind? How the hell did you do that?

Honjo, you are…

truly a God.

Mayuko, are you all right?

Take that gun and go up the stairs.

Thank you, Honjo. Will you be all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

Honjo!

Mayuko! I'm up!

We won't die.

We won't give in to this world!

Honjo!

You damn temptresses!

Did no one tell you that murder is wrong?

Even if you survive in this world,

you won't find any happiness here!

So, come and let's be happy.

Jump from the ledge with me--

My neck! It hurts!

I won't find happiness even if I survive?

I'm not so sure.

I'd say I'm very happy at the moment.

Meeting Honjo cleared things up for me.

My reason for living is to secure my own happiness.

Commit suicide or get killed and I won't be able to.

That's why I'll…

stay determined and keep fighting.

Mayuko! We can make some new allies!

GATHERING ALLIES! LET'S WORK TOGETHER PEACEFULLY

TO CREATE "GOD" AND END ALL THIS.

Isn't this amazing?

They must be people like us who want to do something about this world!

What is this fishy-as-heck advertisement?

I don't mean to bring you down, but what's with this "God" stuff?

-What? -This just looks suspicious to me.

I'm sorry. I got a little ahead of myself.

Oh, my! It says "peacefully" right there.

Yes, but this is incredibly fishy.

Still, they do know of the word "God."

These guys may know some secrets.

But we can be almost certain we'll find someone in that black building.

Couldn't it also be a trap?

Yes, but it could be a chance to make lots of allies all at once.

We definitely need more allies, and that may require danger.

All right, I get it.

Then let's head to that black building next.

Excuse me, Mr. Mask?

Can we venture to this notice's venue?

As you wish. I guess we'll go check it out.

That duo might show up too.

THIS WAY

Honestly. Women are so…

While you wait, please take a look at the photos I've taken in this world.

Oh, but don't look through anything else.

Taking photos in this world?

This girl is carefree to the extreme.

Well, from these angles, they do look beautiful.

-What? -What?

Mr. Mask? What on earth happened?

Oh, it was nothing.

What is this stupidly blunt bulletin?

THIS WAY

Excuse me, are you the one who made the poster?

Honjo!

Let go of me, you molester!

I can't move my body.

There's tape on the back of the mask?

It was a trick?

I wonder if you're aware that masks can be a hit or a miss.

"God's code"?

So there's a special code that can make humans into something God-like?

Amongst the masks, some of them are called "jackpots."

If you can find those, this world… this realm will end.

I'm going to have you test this mask for me

to see if it is one of those "jackpots."

Is this as far as I go?

Who are you?

-Hey, boys! -Right!

A Mask?

A Rider Mask?

That is without a doubt a strong Mask.

-The strongest we've seen. -Stay back, you!

Don't mess with me!

Run, Mayuko.

And tell my brother…

I gave it my best shot.

Mayuko?

Honjo, I really like you.

So…

Mayuko, is that…

You wouldn't!

If you're going to die, then I'll…

No! Don't put it on!

Mayuko!

Hey, wait one moment, woman.

Yes?

We don't know what we'll find.

I'll go first.

I knew he was a kind person.

Her panties were about to be exposed.

It can't be.

There's no way this is happening.

Right, Mayuko?

Tell me, is that girl's mask functioning properly?

Inquiry response.

Her neurons and action potential are operating normally.

She is, without a doubt, an Angel.

Mayuko has become a Mask.

I kill all Masks!

Who am I kidding?

Go ahead, Mayuko.

Please make it painless.

I'm going to die!
