Enmadou Sara no Suiri Kitan (The Mystery Collection of Enmado Sara /閻魔堂沙羅の推理奇譚)

You're the first person I've brought back to life.

Eh?

You've already died once.

"It would have been easier to have died then," is how you feel as you go through life

and die for the second time in the most horrible way.

ECOTV Presents

The Mystery Collection of Enmado Sara

"I don't want to go to heaven." Do you wish to come back to life?

You have endured loneliness, hunger, and violence without being loved by your mother.

Even if you come back to life, it won't make a difference,

and in fact, you will suffer more than ever.

That's not true!

I want my Mom to... love me.

That's impossible.

I want to grow up and be happy.

That's what you said 35 years ago.

And I accepted that to bring you back to your world.

To see what kind of life you'd lead after that.

Well, the result was disappointing, as expected.

Coward.

Useless.

- Why? No way... - It's true, isn't it?

This is some kind of dream, isn't it? Just put me back where I was!

I can't.

What happens to my daughter if I die? What will happen to Miku?

You were trying to let go, weren't you? Just to make yourself feel better.

A failure of a mother.

Now, hold on.

What are you? What the hell do you want me to do?

For me, the "Resurrection of the Dead Game" is a confirmation of human potential.

How much can a person fight against the fate, destiny, and karma that they have taken on?

Human beings are both weak and strong.

Some will confront it, while others will continue to flee.

Why...

We make many mistakes, lose sight of what is important, waste our limited lives, and eventually die.

And you will come to this place.

To be judged according to your life.

In here, sins committed are always judged.

Unlike the human world, for sure.

Wait...

NO!

Niiyama Ritsuko. I made the mistake of getting my hopes up.

You are going to hell.

It was not a mistake.

I may have been a coward and useless

but even after I came back to life, I went through a lot of hard times.

But that's not all.

My aunt and uncle raised me without giving up on me.

It didn't work out, but I got married.

And... I gave birth to my daughter Miku.

I love my daughter Miku. That's not a lie.

I'm glad I was alive

just so I could see her. That's what I was thinking.

So please.

Please give me another chance to come back to life.

Don't end it just because you have to.

I want to be responsible for our relationship until the end!

Your life is intertwined with many sufferings.

The trauma inflicted by your mother, the karma of being the daughter of a murderer,

has already proven that it cannot be erased.

Do you still wish to come back to life?

I do.

Then let's play a game.

It's called "Resurrection of the Dead Mystery Solving Game"!

Mystery solving?

There is only one condition to clear it. You have to deduce and guess who killed you.

- So you want me to guess who stabbed me, right? - Yes.

No hints will be given.

This is the second time I'm giving you a chance.

The punishment for failing to clear it will be more severe.

Eh?

You will not be able to move from this place until the game is over.

And look.

That's an emissary from hell.

When that thing touches your hand, it's game over

and you're six years self will go to hell. - Then...

It means that your life for the past 35 years will disappear.

Because of your death, your mother, Iizuka Machiko, will be arrested on suspicion of abandoning a child in her care.

Naturally, you and Nogami never met,

and started up her own architectural firm with another designer.

And then, of course, your family...

No way...

In this game, you have to bet on your own life and the existence of your daughter.

Now let's start the game.

The person who stabbed me...

Wasn't it Kawasumi who originally suggested that I go here?

You've fallen right into my trap, haven't you?

- Why would you do that? - Because Ritsuko-san,

you didn't give me the money quickly enough.

Ritsuko. I got back at you for hitting me.

How did you know that I was coming here? No way...

Don't tell me you guys are working together.

That too, was recorded so that you could match up your stories later?

The two of you were planning to blackmail me out of my money...

I knew I shouldn't have given birth to you.

Huh?

I wanted you dead.

I can protect the company's image better by being a homicide survivor than a murderer's daughter.

I'm sorry.

You were in the way of me going out with Miku.

- Stop messing around! - It can't be helped, Ritsuko-san.

You don't trust anyone. You don't open your heart to anyone.

What are you saying?

- So, for the sake of Miku's happiness... - Stop it.

Ritsuko-san, you're in the way.

STOP IT!

Miku...

Why did you have me?

You tried to throw yourself away to make it easier on yourself.

I don't know.

I am that sort of person who is hated by both her mother and her daughter.

I wouldn't be surprised whoever the killer is.

Everyone seems to be the enemy. That is the biggest mistake you have made in your life.

- Eh? - You don't have time for that.

If I hadn't played this game, would I still be going to hell?

Yes.

You are going to hell.

- What kind of sin could send you to hell? - I can't tell you.

However, that means that you have committed a terrible sin.

But I have no idea what it is!

I told you at the beginning. I can't give you any hints that will lead you to the correct answer.

Maybe it's not Kawasumi.

If he was planning to take money from me, he wouldn't do something like this.

Why were there three of them?

It's going to rain this afternoon, so make sure you bring an umbrella.

It's nothing. Nothing...

When I came home, there was this weird old lady.

- You're up early. - It's annoying when you come to my room and wake me up.

It's Miku's secret.

What kind of sin could send you to hell?

I can't give you any hints that will lead you to the correct answer.

No way...

So...

Sara-san, I've made my deductions.

Now, give me your answer.

First, I think Kawasumi and Iizuka Machiko are in league with each other.

Their goal is to blackmail me out of my money.

So I can't imagine that he would try to kill me.

Then who stabbed you?

Miku's boyfriend,

Kuramoto Itsuki-kun.
