THE GARDEN OF SINNERS At the edge of the void

CONTRADICTORY SPIRAL

THE GARDEN OF SINNERS At the edge of the void

Tomoe, die.

What would you like ?

Original work: Kinoko Nasu

Yes, it was a very bizarre affair.

Finally, there were no corpses.

Why a professional burglar

going to confabulate like that to the police?

I thought the same thing so I investigated.

His story was too detailed

to be fabrication.

The neighbor told me that nothing had happened,

it was the usual routine.

That is all.

It's a funny story.

What was the burglar doing there?

Well, he almost leads a homeless life.

and sometimes he decides to sleep

in an unlocked neighborhood apartment.

There are inhabitants who do not lock.

By the way, he also takes some money.

This is his modus operandi.

Is there a problem with this case?

No, it was just curiosity.

Last question.

Did he only see the corpses of the couple?

According to the civil status, they had a son.

OK.

No, sorry for taking your time.

Yes, thank you very much, goodbye.

What does it mean ?

What are you watching ?

Just a burglary report.

You are really curious. You're not even in charge of the case.

- What is it about ? - Well...

Hey, we found the second body!

Is this the human remains thing?

Yeah, hurry up!

Go to work !

- Leave aside your hobbies. - I say !

Tomoe Enjo...

-Daisuke! - I'm coming !

TAKAYUKI ENJÔ KAEDE ENJÔ

TOMOE ENJÔ

Director: Takayuki Hirao

Wait a bit !

He always runs away so quickly!

- Get out! - Well what, you don't know us anymore?

Huh, Tomoe?

What the hell are you doing, jerk!

- Hold on ! - Hello!

I will kill you!

Hello!

You won't die for so little.

You're pushing the envelope a little too far, Tomoe!

You don't care about us, do you?

We just asked you for some money.

You really are a jerk.

We wake you up as you walk down the street

and then you hit us and run away?

Kill...

Hey, stay out of this!

Shit...

I told you to stay away. Are you deaf or what?

Here is a stubborn, hard-headed man.

Is it good for you?

Hold on...

Wait a bit...

What ? You didn't drop anything else.

Do not worry. They are not dead.

Do you want me to call you for help?

- Nope. - Why ?

Look can you take me somewhere

where to hide

Do you want me to hide you? Impossible.

No place is out of sight.

It's only at home that we won't see you.

Exactly, I can't go home!

Can't you hide me in your house, silly?

It's easy.

I killed someone.

Tomoe, die.

It does not look like.

It's the truth !

I killed her just now!

I ripped it open with a kitchen knife!

Tomorrow I will be famous!

Which explains your outfit.

I had believed in a new fashion.

It's because I was spattered with blood.

- You're not scared ? - I should ?

I really am a murderer.

It's nothing.

Me too, I am.

What ?

Come on, follow me.

But why did I say that?

We haven't found the bodies yet.

ASAHI LOCKSMITH

LOST KEY - SECURITY SYSTEM RELEASE

The key...

Tomoe, die.

Hey, are you still here today?

You want to eat ? I don't like frozen stuff.

Why did you help me?

You have nowhere to sleep.

You can stay here for a bit.

Anyway, Mikiya will be away for a while.

Are you serious ?

Are you dangerous?

You are funny.

Dangerous, me? It's well worded.

But you are also an assassin.

So everything is fine.

Hey, I'm a boy and you're a girl!

If you put me up, that's why!

Men don't sleep when they want a woman?

Yes, exactly.

I'm going to sleep here, and you're okay?

Yeah, if you bother me, I'll tell you.

I forgot.

Here.

You said yesterday that you didn't have a lock.

- I got you a new one. - How did you do ?

I worked for a mover. I stole it from him.

I didn't need it.

A house without a lock...

is not a house.

What's your name ?

Shiki Ryōgi.

Me, Tomoe Enjo.

This was the news for October 16.

Tomoe, die.

Shit !

Ryōgi, are you back?

You won't do.

I went out to kill someone.

But I found no one.

I thought you would do,

but in fact no. It wouldn't make sense.

I really thought I was going to die.

I want to feel alive.

One day I will kill for no reason.

How are you, Ryogi? Pulled yourself together.

I am very well.

I felt the same during the summer.

Also at that time...

Say, Ryōgi, do you have a friend?

Yes.

It's true ?

So that simplifies things.

Go see him and unload all your problems on him!

- It will relieve you! - At the moment, he is absent.

He just does what he wants!

He comes to my house whenever he wants

and all he gives me is his phone number.

And this summer, he stayed in bed for a month.

Why does all this piss me off?

I am of no help to you.

- Did you say something? - Nothing !

Say, this friend, do you know him from high school?

Yes. He looks like a poet.

Is it because of him that you prowl at night?

No. I...

In fact, I like killing people.

Idiot !

You are not like that!

It was the news of October 18.

Could it be that they haven't found anything yet?

Ryogi...

Who is that man ?

I was being followed?

- I see... - Does that mean anything to you?

I don't know of any such freak.

It's piling up, throw them away tomorrow.

Hey, can't you see I'm worried about you?

Why are you worried about me?

Why ?

I don't want you to be in danger.

But why ?

Because...

Because I love you, silly!

It is not possible that you are in love with me!

Was it the guy in the red coat who hypnotized you?

No, I'm serious !

You are the first being that I find beautiful!

I found someone who understands me!

You are the one I was looking for!

I will do anything for you !

In this case...

Could you die for me?

Die.

OK.

I will die for you.

Anyway, I'm...

A parricide?

I am having a nightmare.

The same every night.

He scares me.

I get killed there.

I hear my parents arguing and then the door opens.

My mother is here.

Sorry,

sorry.

They were unworthy.

Every day was hell.

My nightmare was about to end

to become reality.

That's why

that I stabbed my mother without thinking.

Did you know that the viscera were hot?

Did you kill her like that?

Idiot.

You finally chose the most painful path.

When I met you

you had lost your future and you felt empty.

Did you want to die like now?

I risk the death penalty.

Better to die a thousand times for you.

I refuse.

I don't want your life.

Say, Enjo.

Where do you live ?

Why ?

At 405 of a lambda residence.

Nope...

I ask you where you want to go.

Too bad if you don't understand.

Hello,

you should have protected this daily life that you had.

Hi. Go when you want.

I can't stay here anymore.

Nope...

It was the information of November 9.

It's already been a week.

It's you ? It's been a long time.

Do you like watching people in the dark?

Ryogi...

- I... - Hold on.

I will take it out.

I'm listening to you. You wanted to talk to me ?

Have I gone mad?

Yet I killed her.

In short,

your mother is alive.

Given the silence of the media, it is normal to think that.

Nope !

I killed her!

Impossible that she is alive!

Would you check?

At 405 of this lambda residence.

That way things will be clear. I am coming with you.

It's here...

What is that ?

Do you really want to go there?

To find out more, you have to.

It spirals up.

It's at the bottom.

How long has it been since you went back?

About eight days.

The timing is perfect. Too much, even.

- The key. - Ring the bell, please.

If we don't answer, I will be mistaken.

We just have to leave.

No need to ring. We enter.

To understand the mechanism.

Tomoe isn't back yet?

It's already 8 o'clock!

He finished an hour ago! It's his pay day!

He better make money!

Where did he go to have fun?

I do not know.

If he has enough to repay his loan, let him give it to his parents!

But he doesn't even give me a penny!

You spoiled him too much!

Thanks to whom does he think he can live?

I do not know.

What is that ?

What does it mean ?

Since we didn't ring the bell, it's as if we weren't there.

Tomoe,

you come home very late! Come here.

Go get Tomoe.

Why don't you go?

Is it a dream?

It is reality.

- Do you dare to answer me? - I have enough !

It's all because of this accident.

It's my fault ?

It's because of your misplaced pride.

As soon as there's a rumor, we have to move.

Repeat a bit?

Do you know how much effort I made?

And since you're not working, Tomoe has to...

It does not make money!

He financed his studies himself!

But he still had to quit school.

I didn't tell him to stop.

You made him quit!

Dinner not ready yet?

Stopped !

Please stop!

No stop !

Shut up and watch.

Tomoe,

die.

Let's go. We have nothing more to do here.

What do you mean, "nothing more"? I...

I am dead !

He will wake up in the morning.

Not a drop of blood flowed.

They are born in the morning and die in the evening.

It wasn't you.

You are alive.

What ?

I do not know. Next.

Next ?

Where else do you want to go?

At your real home.

There's just one thing that I found odd.

You said you lived at 405.

But Mikiya said your name last.

Someone so meticulous wouldn't switch things up for no reason.

Logically, the Enjô family should live

in the last apartment on the 4th floor, 410.

I don't understand. I would live elsewhere?

Hello, you arrive home safely

getting out of the elevator and going down the hallway?

Yes...

The number has been changed and the elevator shifted.

It happened in the elevator.

A mechanism reverses everything.

It's a fabulous sleight of hand.

The elevator turns 180 degrees without our noticing.

The stairs are spiral here.

This is...

Someone had to shift the stairs and adapt them to the elevator.

You mean we lived somewhere else without seeing that we were the opposite?

But it's impossible ! We would have noticed!

- By the way... - This place is not normal.

Around the residence, the landscape is uniform.

The interior is partitioned.

The walls are covered with strange patterns.

It weighs on the mind.

It's a barrier.

In the absence of small anomalies, we do not see the big one.

So you mean this is my real home?

You lived there a month after moving in

then the elevator was shifted. Afterwards, you were at 405.

How is it possible ? But why ?

Who did this and why?

And how do you know all this?

I know the person who designed this residence.

We're going to open, Enjô. Your first visit in 6 months.

Is that the switch?

Hello.

Hello, look at the reality.

I'd say they've been dead for six months.

Take a good look at them. Do you really...

Hello,

move out of the way !

Ryōgi, what...

They are not human.

They're just dolls that want to die.

I'm sick of it. Let's go !

What is happening ?

Not moving.

Unbelievable...

Ryōgi! In front of you !

When did it appear?

I do not see

its disappointments.

You, I know you.

In effect.

We haven't seen each other for two years.

Can't you kill me?

Who are you ?

My name is Sôren Araya, I am a magician.

The one who will kill Shiki.

How ironic.

In principle, I should have completed this building afterwards.

You built this residence? Why ?

It's a simple experiment.

Do you like the repetition cycles?

Repetition ?

Hello, this residence

endlessly replays the last day of its inhabitants.

The day of their death.

I told you. They die in the evening and are reborn in the morning.

This side is a morgue, the other their place of life.

But I don't know what magic he uses.

I made a world where life ends in a single day.

I wondered if humans could change fate.

I thought that by repeating their death thousands of times,

there would be a disturbance in the spiral.

But so far, the result is still the same.

I understand.

So it's not just the Enjô who repeat their death.

They are not enough to experience.

These people were already destroyed from the beginning.

From day one, they killed each other.

It is because of this residence that you have built.

You made them do this.

Then you transferred them into dolls.

Transferred? Dolls?

So I am...

Why do you want to kill me?

Neither Kirie Fujo nor Fujino Asagami were effective.

You were on familiar terms with death,

and if Kirie chose to die, you chose life.

You took lives, but if Fujino liked to kill,

you respected murder.

They had it figured out:

although they were like you,

they were killer monsters unlike you, Shiki Ryougi.

They served as sacrifices only for you.

You have...

Tomoe Enjô was a find... He saved me a lot of work.

Shiki Ryogi,

the Origin of your chaotic impulse,

it is nothingness.

Look at this darkness.

And remember your name!

Disastrous!

Distortion! Adamantine! Serpent-Scorpion!

It is I, Soren Araya, who will take your body.

Sacrifice !

Novice.

There are Sariras in my left hand.

Even your eye of death

can't see my tears.

You don't need your face.

Your eyes are useless.

I have to puncture them first.

No, you should have eliminated me with your previous move.

Your barrier is only a simple border. So...

I can cut it!

But there are still two left.

Failed again!

You don't know when to give up.

That's why you'll lose in the other world, Shiki.

Why...

My Origin is stillness.

I have lived two hundred years... I can...

kill time...

Shit...

Shit...

What is happening ?

Here ? Shiki has a lock now?

CONTRADICTORY SPIRAL

THE GARDEN OF SINNERS At the edge of the void

Name: Mikiya Kokuto.

What is the value of a driver's license?

Isn't a qualification reduced to a piece of paper just a contract?

It's not very nice!

I struggled a month in the countryside to get it!

I have never attended a driving school.

Did you take the wheel straight away?

At the same time, I don't imagine you in a driving school.

You're not very polite.

At the time, I was still a student.

Ah yes, you happened to be a teenager.

They are old acquaintances.

As I forgot their faces,

I took it out of an album.

There was an institute in London.

This man was a monk of the Tendai school.

His talents were incomplete, but his confidence unparalleled.

I liked this somewhat clumsy guy.

I was dealing with dolls and he was trying to find

the Original of men through the soul.

I gave up, but he had to continue.

He was excommunicated by his master because he saw the Origin of men.

Listen carefully, Kokuto.

No matter what, never approach this man.

Hello, Aozaki, it's been a long time.

How is it going ?

Cornelius Alba.

So what is the next director doing here?

of the Sponheim monastery?

If you come to chat, leave.

But you too entered my world without permission.

But as you were accompanied, I did not dare to greet you.

Is this residence your studio?

Then I have to revise my opinion about you.

Don't underestimate me too much.

Prepare doll bodies and animate brains in them

is my specialty.

This residence is a vacuum and no one outside sees

that a magical experience takes place there.

As far as I know, only one person is able to do this.

- Toko, when did you get back? - Just now.

The exhibition seems to work. Do you have the client list?

Azaka,

no magic in public, I said.

Excuse me.

Is it bad if others notice it?

Yes, it affects the effectiveness of your magic.

A magician never informs anyone of the results of his research.

So they study for themselves?

So it's no use.

Shiki.

They have a purpose.

The end goal of the magicians is:

the whirlwind of the Source.

What is called the Akashic Collections, the source of all phenomena,

the cause of everything, the truth.

According to one theory, they contain the past,

the present and the future of this world.

Such a thing does not interest me.

Looking for something without being sure that it exists is absurd.

It's not even funny.

Suppose they really exist, who in this world could find them?

Some have succeeded.

That's why we know what they are.

However,

no one came back who went there.

All successful magicians have disappeared.

Those people who have an endless goal,

those people who are never rewarded,

the world calls them "magicians".

Shiki is a man or a woman?

Shiki!

Azaka, what are you playing?

What ?

Your relationship with Shiki is not clear.

Is Shiki dating you as a woman

or as a man?

This is called petty suspicion.

It doesn't deserve debate.

Either way, it wouldn't change how I feel.

Would you like her regardless of gender?

Yes, probably...

It's disgusting !

Toko, stop.

You are awesome !

- By the way, Kokuto. - Yes ?

Would you really care if Shiki was a man?

Sure,

although I would prefer it to be a woman.

So there is no problem.

No problem ?

Yes, Shiki is clearly a woman.

And his way of speaking?

She unconsciously compensates

for the other deceased Shiki.

She would like at least you to remember him.

Isn't that cute?

Kokuto, do you know taiji?

Taiji:

the intertwined black and white half-moons symbolize

yin and yang, light and shadow,

the positive and the negative, the man and the woman.

The little holes in each of them

are spirals of contradiction and conflict.

In yin-yang philosophy, this is called Ryōgi.

All humans have a bit of the other sex in them.

From an original source, the stream split in two.

The Ogawa residence is only one embodiment of taiji.

Kokutô, do you know the Ogawa residence in Kayamihama?

It is a residence built on land.

Yes, I took part in its construction a long time ago.

A policeman friend told me a funny story about him.

Clear,

you want me to investigate, Miss Headmistress.

No, let's go there together.

Make a list of the inhabitants and look up their old addresses.

It won't make a penny, so take your time.

Understood.

- Tell me, Kokutô... - Yes?

Would you really care if Shiki was a man?

What ?

There is no underground parking?

Let's go.

Hello Shiki.

Nice weather, huh?

And it should last.

Mikiya, who gave you this?

Here, Mr. Akitaka?

Shiki, you weren't here last night.

I ran into Akitaka on my way out.

He then gave it to me.

He mentioned "Kanesada", I believe.

The Kanesada sword with the Nine Seals?

What are you talking about ?

You want to see it ? It is a famous and rare sword.

Shiki is an ancient sword.

Don't take it out here. It would destroy our magic barrier.

Understood.

So, Kokutô, you're late today.

Excuse me. In fact...

The Ogawa residence is of high standing, even for the Kayamihama area.

When we observe it, we see

that it consists of 2 half-moons of 10 floors forming a circle.

It's strange.

It was reserved for employees with leisure centers on the first floors.

But they are currently empty.

There are ten apartments per floor,

parking in the basement and another outside.

The owner having changed, the rental was open to all.

The tenants moved in this year.

The elevator didn't work until May.

Kokutô is your imagination.

Let's go.

Only the reception hall connects the two wings of the building.

From the first floor, it is impossible to move from one wing to another.

You must pass through this hall.

I don't like this building.

We can confuse people's minds with small details:

the color of the walls, the position of the stairs...

For tenants,

It's worse.

when we go out,

opposite are apartments 406 to 410.

Here ? It's weird.

These are apartments 401 to 405.

An error in the plans?

How do we get to the east wing?

Passing behind the elevator.

Funny architecture.

Better to link them outside.

By the way, what do you want to do on the fourth floor?

Visit this supposedly dead family?

Who informed you?

My inspector friend. You got the info from him.

So go see.

I would like to use the elevator alone.

We meet on the floor above. Take the stairs.

Better close your eyes.

See you soon.

In the west wing there are apartments 1 to 5.

6 to 10 are in the east wing.

On the 3rd floor, we have:

Sonoda, vacant,

Watanabe, vacant, Itsuki, Takemoto, vacant,

Haimon, vacant and Toenji.

On the 4th floor, we have: vacant, vacant,

Sasaya, Mochizuki, Shintani,

vacant, vacant,

Tsujinomiya, Kamiyama, Enjo...

Toko, show me the list.

It's clear.

You don't find such a rare name twice.

I go ahead. Tôko, do you have a motorbike to lend me?

There is the 200 cc.

Don't take the Harley out!

- I haven't removed the sidecar yet. - OK.

- Mikiya, I take the sword. - Shiki!

What, Mikiya?

No nothing.

See you at your house tonight.

You are weird.

I will be there. Ciao!

Here ? Shiki has a lock now?

Mr. Akitaka?

What have you ?

I can easily read your concern on your face.

No it is nothing.

Don't tell me you have a heartache.

It's the lock.

She does not lock, except when she sleeps.

Doesn't that bother you?

I feel rather reassured.

She's strong, but she's a girl.

It's a girl.

She may have met during your month of absence.

According to Akitaka, nothing like that seems to have happened.

She would do the laundry herself, which is rare.

If it is, her new man is in there.

You are really slow to understand.

But you did all that in one night?

Don't you want to be a detective? You would be a hit.

Out of the question.

In one evening, I was only able to visit 30 of the 50 families.

Sir, am I at home...

Yes ?

You are with the Enjos.

Who are you ?

I must have made a mistake.

I can't wait any longer.

There you are. We are going down.

Kokuto, look down. I have a little riddle.

You want me to look down?

Here is the question: what floor are we on?

Are we still on the 5th?

I see. So earlier, we were on the 6th.

Exact.

You thought you were going up one floor, but you went up two.

It is a complex structure.

Besides, tall buildings are strange.

The higher we go,

the more difficult it was to situate oneself.

If you swap the buttons and the numbers,

you don't really know if you're on the 4th or 5th floor.

The only way to check where you live,

it's those little numbers in the central hall.

The house, the bedroom, your usual place of living

easily out of the ordinary.

Let's go to the hall on the east side for a moment.

The lobby is on the ground floor for both wings.

It forms an atrium.

Didn't you design the hall in the east wing?

- What are you doing ? - This is where you have to be careful.

It must be over here.

By the way, haven't you noticed?

The staircase moved.

Not in its location, but on itself.

There was a mark on the wall.

Move a staircase? But that's absurd.

It's like a mechanical pencil.

What is a mechanical pencil?

You don't know what it is?

No I do not know.

It's not selling anymore?

It works like an extruder.

We would have pushed the stairs from below?

- With a plunger? - Without a doubt.

To move the exit of the spiral.

Like this, south and north are reversed.

But who did this and why?

Alright, let's go.

Have you ever seen a mechanical pencil?

It was fashionable in college.

MINUTES

But she said she would be there.

- Sorry for the delay. - You are late.

- That was the news for November 9. - Here we go.

About our business.

I continued the investigation.

You regretted having been able to visit only 30 of the 50 families.

But that closes the investigation.

The other twenty were fictitious families.

We reused the civil status of dead people

For years.

The fictional families are all from the East Wing.

What does this mean?

Say, are you listening to me?

Yes. Tell me :

weren't you supposed to turn just now?

I didn't expect to waste so much time.

What is it ?

Kokuto...

Take this.

There's someone inside

but ignore it and shut up.

If you do that, he'll leave without even noticing you.

Aozaki,

I allowed myself to take taiji.

You put a taiji in a taiji?

But the Counter-Force will act.

The unified consciousness of us humans and the stars

as well as our desire to see our own world survive

manifest themselves in many forms.

This is called the "Counter-Force".

The heroes, those darlings of each era, are one of these forms.

Many magicians wanted to approach the Source and the Counter-Force killed them.

The Counter-Force?

This hindrance will not manifest itself.

'Cause I'm not creating a new path,

I am only clearing away one already traced.

The Eye of Death?

Araya seems to have lost his life to capture Shiki Ryogi.

Shiki...

What did you do to Shiki?

You must be the boy from yesterday.

So you have a disciple, Aozaki.

This makes me even more happy.

You're wrong.

Finally, I am tired for nothing. Back then it would have been different,

but we have already left the institute.

Is this a declaration of war?

Let's end our old rivalry.

I can't wait to meet again.

So see you soon !

Welcome to my Gehenna.

I salute you,

great puppeteer.

Congratulations Alba.

Well, you're always like that!

You put me down all the time!

This treasure you seek does not exist.

What do you mean ?

Shiki has been abducted and is a prisoner.

- But where ? - On the 10th floor of the west wing.

Shiki is "yin" because she is a woman.

That's to say ?

During his accident two years ago, Shiki woke up his death eye

and became able to see death lines.

Aozaki!

It's okay, get out Araya.

Deathlines are the "seams" of things.

To see them is to see the truth of things.

Clear...

The whirlwind of the Source?

Yes.

Shiki's body is linked to the whirlpool of Source via the Eye of Death.

Their objective is clearly the vortex of the Source.

But Alba is different.

"Their" ?

I came this far because I heard

that I could kill you!

Aozaki!

Toko, is it this?

What a story...

Why should I be mixed up in such a case?

Nope,

I knew it would happen when I decided to take care of Shiki.

I entrust this to you.

It's bad tobacco from Taiwan.

That's all that's left.

She's dreaming.

Everything is inscribed in the Source.

Maybe Shiki is dreaming in taiji.

Dreaming about world history.

From this present moment itself.

Don't be afraid,

magicians cherish their followers and loved ones.

I'll bring Shiki back tonight. Patience.

I can't wait any longer...

Who are you ?

CONTRADICTORY SPIRAL

I can't save anyone.

If I can't save them,

I will at least register their death.

I will collect the dead...

Was it a dream?

I dreamed, me?

Araya!

Soren and Cornelius Alba.

You are hurt ?

It's nothing. Whatever,

I don't understand everything, but we are involved in the same business.

It's to sleep standing up.

So what are you gonna do?

I owe Ryōgi a debt.

I have to save her.

No, I'm talking about your parents.

Which are the real ones?

Those of the 405 or those of the 410?

This has nothing to do.

Whether.

This residence has a structure that easily drives you crazy.

Whoever built it is responsible.

You said you killed your parents for fear of the dream where you were killed.

But was it of your own volition?

Did you really kill them? Weren't they already dead?

I killed them.

I still retain the feeling of that moment.

And your father ? Maybe you just killed your mother?

You are bound! I've seen the bodies, there's no...

No matter.

I'm just going to save Ryōgi.

Shiki is important,

but you also have to respect your own life.

The farm !

You don't know anything about me!

Do you want to die saving Shiki?

I have nothing !

No one protected me and I couldn't protect anyone!

All I have left is to keep my promise

to die for her!

You can not understand.

Understood. Let's go save Shiki.

But there is one thing left.

Follow me,

Tomoe Enjo.

How do you know my name?

I told you to bring Araya right away.

Clarity!

You finally appear.

A long time ago, Aozaki.

Certainly, even if we would have preferred not to see each other again.

It seems that Alba has gone too far.

He seems unable

to break his attachment to you.

So ?

Does the Source appear here?

All the people I have gathered here carry the burden of a different death.

Here is a miniature of the world.

I thought the Source door would be at the end of this world

which repeats itself every day.

But I couldn't find the door.

Is that why you wanted Shiki?

Exact.

So that the Counter-Force doesn't notice anything,

I used Kirie Fujo and Fujino Asagami,

and I made it clear to Shiki that his body was bound

to the source.

But how are you going to open the door?

I will take his body.

No wait.

Are you going to transfer your brain into Shiki's body?

You have really bad taste!

Why are you going so far?

Maybe there will be nothing. Maybe the world will collapse.

I lost my mind a long time ago.

A few more steps and I will succeed.

Any opponent will be considered

as a manifestation of the Counter-Force.

So we just have to fight.

Araya, what are you looking for?

Authentic wisdom.

Araya,

where are you looking for it?

Only in myself.

Go !

Shit ! How many bones have you broken me?

Your subordinate has disappeared.

"A puppeteer loses when his puppet loses."

That's what you said when you were a student.

I'm not going back on it.

It's breathtaking.

Here, it's as if we were in your body.

You can demolish the space at will.

It's as if I had thrown myself into a great spell.

If you were so well prepared, how did Shiki corner you?

If I want, I can crush it.

I hope it won't turn out badly.

Araya, do you know the 3 conditions to scare someone?

One: the monster must not speak.

Two: the monster must not be identified.

Three: if he is not immortal, the monster has no reason to exist.

If you want to kill him, you have to succeed in one hit.

This is how you attack by surprise.

Do you have to succeed in one go?

Indeed, it is a good lesson.

Was it a doll?

Sure.

And you, you are real.

The fury of this heart leaves no doubt.

It's unfortunate.

I rated you correctly.

We competed to find the Source.

To tell you the truth, I even liked you a little.

But you have corrupted yourself.

It may be true.

But my current life

pleased me.

This spiral of miracles and chance

called everyday life.

So

I just tried to defend her.

Araya,

what do you want ?

I do not want anything.

Poor you...

I see.

It was a projected monster.

Was it a dream?

I dreamed, me?

Araya!

That was not the plan!

You said you would let me kill Aozaki!

You failed.

I was forced to kill her myself.

Kill her ?

Do not make me laugh. She is still alive!

We are not going to fail at the last moment! It must be finished!

We even nicknamed her the crimson vixen!

Imbecile!

You just said one word too many.

- Cornelius. - What ?

Take it.

I don't care what you do with it.

I accept it.

She's mine.

I can do with it what I want?

Yes.

Either way, your fate is already sealed.

What do we do

here ?

During my investigation,

I looked up your old addresses.

You moved often

but you lived here until you were 8 years old.

This is where you were born and where you grew up.

My...

My real home...

Tomoe!

Tomoe!

What ?

I have something important to give you.

Father...

Dad, what is it?

The key to the house. Don't lose it.

You are also a boy.

Protect your mother with this.

With the key?

Yes.

With her, you can manage even in our absence.

You can defend your family.

The key

is the symbol of the family.

I understood. I will pay attention to it.

I will protect the house.

It's good. You are a good boy

Tomoe.

Today they told me to quit.

But why ?

You said it would be okay this time.

It requires a driver's license.

Shit !

If I still had my license...

I'm still going to work.

No, I'll manage.

I don't want to weigh you and Tomoe down.

Darling.

A car accident ?

But my husband no longer has the permit.

And the victim?

They demanded that I be able to drive.

You know,

my family agrees to pay the indemnities.

Everything will be alright...

Let's start from scratch.

Get out, killer!

GO DIE, ASSASSIN!

Whore !

Why are they all doing this?

It ended up being known.

We still have to move.

It's the same everywhere!

"Assassin, disappear!"

Today, Tomoe told me that he left the athletics club.

He always returns covered with wounds.

He is martyred by others.

It's not his fault. I'm responsible.

He gave us his money.

He runs fast, too.

You can count on him, not on me.

Why can't we

have a normal life?

I...

I...

I'm just an idiot...

It was I who was wrong.

Everyone was suffering

but I only cared about myself.

Even though it was hard, I should have helped my family.

But I didn't pay attention to them once!

Where do you live ?

Is that what you were talking about, Ryogi?

Even I had a house.

Sorry.

I know your misfortune, but I can't say anything.

Even if you say you have nothing left,

the most important thing for you today is yourself

and this daily life to which you were entitled.

You and Ryogi are very strange.

OK. I will fight for myself.

That's what I've always done.

I expected this response.

Shiki is on the 10th floor west.

I'll come in the front and serve as bait.

In the meantime, you will go save her.

Take the pipes to get to the basement.

Their workshop is probably there.

Are you detective?

I have everything prepared.

Give him that sword.

We start at 10:30 a.m.

I thank you.

By the way, I didn't ask your name.

Mikiya Kokuto.

I see.

Your name does sound like that of a poet.

Take this.

- What is that ? - Keep it, that's all.

Now you have to defend her.

When it's over, it's better to forget yourself,

do not look for yourself.

If one of us were to die, the other would have a guilty conscience.

She doesn't need me.

Someone like you suits

to people like her and me.

Hi !

Goodbye.

When it's all over, I'll start from scratch.

Hey, you've come at the right time.

I was going to see you.

Steam noise?

I returned ?

It's pretty, isn't it? I like it too.

This head still lives.

She can still cry.

We also hear his voice!

Aozaki, what are you going to do?

I'm going to kill your pretty boy!

Are we bored?

Are we upset?

It must be said that there is nothing more you can do!

I understand, so that's it.

Everything is connected to the apartments.

It's terrible what you did there.

It hurts !

He must be there.

He must be somewhere.

It's dangerous to stab people.

Very dangerous !

Yes, it's always like that!

Even at the institute, all the honors had to go to me!

But all the superiors were fooled by your attitude!

The contempt with which you treated me

made them think I was inferior!

Aozaki!

How it hurts.

To be precise,

it hurts to cry.

It seems that Aozaki was not a brilliant teacher.

Did you know ?

The institute awarded three colors to the best.

Aozaki got the red.

She wanted blue, like the character of her name.

What a vulgar color!

She joined the institute to get revenge on her sister.

who took his inheritance rights.

She's a bitch full of vices!

TOMOE ENJÔ

I see.

I knew

that I was fake...

Am I really a doll?

Araya let me run away cause I was fake

incapable of anything.

Miserable doll!

I let you run away thinking you would perish.

Why did you come back?

You...

- You... - "You should be dead"?

- Spare me that, Cornelius. - You should be dead!

What are you doing here ?

Am I too late?

It's obvious. I come to replace Tôko Aozaki.

Replace ? Are you a doll?

Nope,

you are very real!

Nope...

The one I killed is obviously...

No, there would be a contradiction.

What's going on ?

Say, Cornelius.

Few years ago,

I completed a carbon copy of me.

It was me, no more no less.

A doll endowed with the same qualities.

I said to myself when I saw her:

"if it exists, maybe I'm not needed?"

I understand.

You came back to save Shiki Ryōgi.

Idiot.

This feeling is pre-programmed.

Why don't you understand it?

What ?

You managed to escape from this spiral.

But remember:

when did you wake up?

Why were you attracted to Shiki Ryōgi?

Why did you ask a stranger for help?

Nope...

I...

Nothing is authentic about you.

I only added one thing to you as you fled.

That you are interested in Shiki Ryogi.

It's imprinted under your unconscious.

Do not make fun of me !

Suppose you are telling the truth!

If it were possible, one should try to reach a superior state!

I repeat :

if the doll is the same, it will go to the next step even without me.

The result will not change.

I understand.

Araya kept you alive because it prevented your next body from triggering.

You hurt me earlier, Cornelius.

Was the Tôko I knew...

Nope...

are you true?

Say, what does this question mean to me?

I know well

I'm just a fake...

Nevertheless,

if I don't have a past, I have very strong feelings!

I loved Ryōgi!

Even if I'm fake,

my heart is true!

I really liked being with her.

If it was you who offered me this possibility,

I have to thank you.

Am I fake, Araya?

No need to talk any further.

Come if you wish. You know where to find me.

Araya,

I'm going to kill you.

As a matter of fact,

the hatred you have had for me since the institute has been good.

This is the proof that I, Tôko Aozaki, exist.

I would have liked this spiral

be contradictory.

But you dared

call me by that name.

This will suffice for me now.

It's an old rule.

I kill without exception all those who call me "crimson".

I won't kill you for Ryōgi.

It is for me that I will kill you!

My family

wasn't so bad that it deserved to end like this.

She wasn't that guilty

she deserved to die like that!

Idiot !

You can't accomplish anything.

In effect,

your Origin is worthless!

I was there.

You have been defeated, Alba.

I suspected it.

Araya, spying is in poor taste.

This insolence proves that you are true.

Do we still have to fight?

No thanks. I have no chance of winning in this residence.

Are you sure?

The monster in there might be able to defeat me.

I lost when I was killed.

If anyone can stop you, it's not me.

Do you still rely on the Counter-Force?

It won't work.

That's why there is a barrier.

Fence ?

Tell me, Araya, the original purpose of this residency

was to represent taiji to take hold of taiji.

Exact.

I built this parallel world to completely isolate Shiki Ryōgi

from the outside world.

Araya, you have made a very serious mistake!

I made no mistake.

It's true,

as a magician!

You threw Shiki into parallel space!

It's flawless, sure.

However,

that sort of thing doesn't work with her.

We have a power over the normal,

but Shiki is a god of death in the face of the paranormal!

You should have witnessed it already.

Soren Araya!

If you wanted to lock up Shiki,

it had to be put in a concrete box.

She can easily destroy the barrier of a parallel space!

Hello, don't you have a girlfriend?

I wouldn't be here if I had one.

But you're pretty good looking.

A compliment said without emotion does not make me happy.

Agreed, Toko.

- I'm going away for a while. - OK.

- Mikiya, I take this sword. - Shiki!

What, Mikiya?

No nothing.

I go ahead. Tôko, do you have a motorbike to lend me?

There is the 200 cc.

Don't take the Harley out! I haven't removed the sidecar yet.

I'm going crazy ?

Here ? Shiki has a lock now?

Kokutô, do you know the Ogawa residence in Kayamihama?

I know the person who designed this residence.

- Mikiya, I take this sword. - Shiki!

I take it out.

For the moment, he is absent.

He just does what he wants!

It's not very nice! I struggled a month in the countryside to get it!

It must hurt, Araya. This building is your body

and he gets cut!

It's absurd...

I don't understand.

How can you move despite your condition?

How did you wake up with your injury?

Why didn't you stay in a coma for a few more minutes?

Shiki Ryōgi!

Is it thanks to Tomoe Enjô?

I received no help from anyone.

I woke up alone.

There was no point in him coming back.

But he is the one who destroyed you.

Why ?

We could kill each other but I can't laugh.

Ah I understood.

It's not that I want to kill you.

I just can't stand your presence.

Purge!

Bitch...

I understand...

Autosuggestion.

You change into carrying a weapon.

I got screwed. You and Fujino Asagami,

you didn't fight seriously.

We finally meet, Ryogi!

Purge!

Idiot !

Don't you give up?

I will end up having you!

Do I have to destroy this building to stop it?

It smells scorched.

Ryogi...

Shiki!

Like that,

you look like a young girl your age.

Was it your barrier that saved Shiki?

You failed again.

Why corner yourself to these extremities?

Why are you going so far to find the Source Whirlpool?

Humans are hopeless.

It's a very old story.

We cannot save all men.

So how can we save men who have not been saved?

There's no answer.

But if I could have opened the Source and ended the world,

record and review all deaths until the end of time,

to see again all those who have not been rewarded or saved,

I could have given meaning to all those who died in vain,

I could have judged what happiness is.

What are you?

I am no one.

I just want a conclusion.

Humans are ugly, dirty,

vile and petty.

If that's all that's left of them after they die,

if ugliness is the true value of men,

then I will be relieved.

You live for yourself

and you want to eliminate all those filthy humans.

I was going to succeed but I was prevented from doing so again.

Men don't know how to give up.

Enjo's escape from the spiral was unexpected, wasn't it?

To fool the Counter-Force,

you have created a civilizational barrier.

Alas, it was defective.

You were defeated by that family love that belonged only to Tomoe.

I'm going to teach you an interesting thing.

There is a collective unconscious

as a psychologist has defined it.

The bottom of men's consciousness would be the same lake,

the repository of all the selfishness of this world.

Buddhism calls this "Araya-Shiki".

What ?

What an ugly contradiction in the world.

You were born with the name of what you hate.

This body is reaching its limit.

Are you going to start all over again?

I did not create

extra body.

Araya,

what are you looking for ?

True wisdom.

Araya, where are you looking for her?

Only in myself.

Araya, where do you want to go?

It's obvious.

At the end of the spiral

of this world

contradictory...

That coward again...

I enter.

Here, you're awake.

Guzzler. I won't give it to you.

You intruder!

I don't want your bagged food!

So much the better.

- By the way. - What ?

Tôko told me that this residence

would be demolished today.

Tôko seems to have made the bodies disappear before the work.

Everything is finished.

Say, Kokuto.

The key.

I don't have the key to your house.

It's not fair.

NOVEMBER 1998

CONTRADICTORY SPIRAL

NEXT EPISODE

Do you remember your mission?

Discover and eliminate

the magician who uses fairies to stir up trouble

at the Reien girls' institute.

Exact.

And since you can't see the fairies,

you need "eyes".

What bad luck.

The victim in this case is clearly me.

JANUARY 1999

I feel there is going to be mayhem.

He doesn't look like him, it's more like...

- Instead ? - Who are you ?

What is the objective of this magician?

He can implore me, I will make him pay!

I don't know who this magician is, but I'm going to tear him to shreds!

We have work.

I must admit,

i like special things.
