Corpse Princess (屍姫)

What?

What’s wrong?

Didn’t you hear a baby’s voice just now?

No, not really.

I heard it.

Don’t you think it’s scary to hear a baby’s voice in a place like this?

Voice of the Night

Did you see it?

Who are you?

What was that earlier?

It has nothing to do with you.

Forget about this.

Where is it?

The Corpse?

Makina.

It struck again.

As always only one victim.

And no sign of the Corpse.

Hey.

Oori.

Did you ever hear this story?

Which one?

The story about this high school girl that abandoned her baby after secretly giving birth.

Why are high school girls all you talk about?

Anyway.

They say that you can hear the baby crying at night.

Girls nowadays won’t get scared by such a lame story.

But this is a true story.

Kagami?

I’m sorry.

I just don’t feel like myself today.

Oori.

Could the baby have cast a curse on you?

I hope not.

Please tell me it didn’t.

Because you and I are connected!

Idiot.

That hurts!

You bitch!

We’ve bought you some onigiri and rice gruel.

You should have told us you had a cold!

I’m sorry.

It was the Sekuu temple right?

Should I give them a call?

It’s all right.

It’s no good if I can’t take care of myself.

Very well.

Do as you wish.

We’re leaving.

Why?

He can’t sleep when you guys are around.

We’ll check on you another time.

See you.

Water.

Water …

Here.

Partenon

Tea shop

He’s got a cold, so he’s not coming.

Unbelievable.

You wanna go visit him?

You can dress up like a nurse?

Huh?

Not again.

Why here?

I don’t remember getting cursed.

It’s calling you.

Why me?

It’s calling for help.

All right.

Did you do the autopsy yet?

I don’t know.

With some milk please.

It’s a Corpse.

Don’t lose it.

Don’t screw up this time.

I can feel it too.

It’s very close!

It’s moving fast.

This one is different from the others.

Warning for high vehicles

I didn’t even lose sight of it for one second.

Really.

Another one of its victims?

This time we’ve lost.

It’s not about winning or losing.

What would you call it then?

The times that we lose, people get killed.

Identification

Name: Amakuda Setsuna

Sekuu temple

It couldn’t possibly be an invisible Corpse.

How much longer are you going to waste my time?

I’m talking about you, Tagami.

The chance that Corpses will appear in this area are high.

I’ve got five of them, and Tagami ten.

This hospital is lacking someone in charge at the moment.

There is only one obstetrician in town using this advertisement.

All victims are young women.

One of them was pregnant.

A baby’s voice?

Could a gynecologist or obstetrician have given stillbirth to women’s babies, that then turned into Corpses?

And are now making victims?

A being with no attachment to this world couldn’t possibly turn into a Corpse.

That Corpse the other day was merely a baby.

What are the results of the autopsy I asked for?

There are no results yet.

Above that, I fear something strange happened to the hospital.

Makina.

Inankan Clinic

Inankan Clinic

Why me?

Because you’re the boy.

What do you want me to do?

Damn it.

My head is turning.

There, there.

There, there …

I can’t make it because I’ve got a patient.

And I’m the only one here at the moment.

Please.

I don’t know what to do now that my boyfriend left me.

That’s how young people are lately.

You don’t have to cry.

I’ll make it all right.

Oh, you woke up, lad?

He fainted in front of the hospital yesterday.

He’s got a very bad cold.

He probably didn’t even know that I was an obstetrician.

I took care of him because I had no other choice.

It looks like he got well.

Thank you very much.

No no, there is no need to thank me.

Can I use your toilet?

It’s right over there.

Well, I’ll start the preparations.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Eh, did you get pregnant?

It’s the third time I run into you while chasing a Corpse.

This can’t be a coincidence.

Did someone send you here?

Send me?

Forget it.

There’s no time.

Hey.

Hey, wait!

Wait a moment!

Don’t follow me!

Shikabane Hime or Hoshimura Makina?

Which one is your real name?

Shikabane Hime is the alias I take when I’m out to kill Corpses.

So can I call you Hoshimura-san?

Intensive Care Nursery

Out of the way.

What are you going to do?

Five women have been murdered by Corpses already.

Only thing we know is that a baby’s voice could be heard at the crime scene.

Also there is a chance that all of those women have come to this hospital.

Only with that info you believe that this child is a Corpse?!

Watch closely.

That is not a newborn child.

It’s already the size of a three month old baby.

Why would something like that be sleeping at a place like this?

That doctor’s surely being used by a Corpse too.

Could you …

… help me?

But this child is not a monster!

It’s just the outside!

Out of the way!
