GARO -VANISHING LINE- (牙狼＜GARO＞ -VANISHING LINE-)

I do not know!

No way! I'm sure Sword will show up today!

No matter how many times you stop in, I do not know!

Fine! I'll search for him myself!

Dear customer! Our new menu items...

The avocado cheddar sandwich, hot and sweet hash browns,

and the three-fruit smoothie with a double tower of toppings

are what we recommend today!

Unfortunately, we must turn away anyone who has no method to pay!

The monochromatic empty eyes of sapiens floating within the unreality

Completely peerless flowing blood, controlled and digitized

Just dark world (BOOM)

Glitter world (NO DOUBT)

Can you see?

Hellacious

Just dark world (BOOM)

Glitter world (NO DOUBT)

I can see!

The timing of the programming

Yea, gotcha!

I want to be eroded away (brain wash)

Up the blast!

Ah, this dying world

Run like you're piercing through it

The rising flames burn everything away

Your resolve and your love

From darkness to the light

I'm begging you!

Absolutely not!

I already gave you your allowance for the month.

I will not allow unnecessary luxuries!

It's not a luxury!

Going to a restaurant when you already get meals from the institution,

is what I call a luxury!

Do you hate your life here?

I'm sure you're doing this for Martin,

but why not just leave things to the police?

The police don't know anything about El Dorado.

Huh?

Nothing.

What are you doing, Sophie?

Nothing much.

Hey, did you finish your presentation essay for the next meeting?

The due date is close!

Did anyone witness this event?

Don't know.

What, did you get ripped off or something?

No, I'm looking into a rumor.

What rumor?

The rumor about a guy in golden armor

that shows up at the scene of missing people cases?

What are you talking about?

I've never heard of such a rumor, have you?

He calls himself a Makai Knight.

He's a mental case!

You should ask on an occult thread, not here!

Then, what about other cases...

Hey! Sophie!

Did you hear my warning?

The essay is due the day after tomorrow!

If you don't get it done this time, Sister will definitely blow a fuse.

Oh. Was that due the day after tomorrow?

By the way, remember Father Ripley, who came to Mass that one time?

The super nice one.

I don't really remember.

I heard he went missing!

Missing?

I was so surprised when I heard about it in the cafeteria yesterday!

They say that you can hear

a strange voice coming from his house each night...

How scary is that?! I can't sleep alone at night anymore!

What do they mean by strange voices, anyways?!

I'm coming in.

Where is Sophie?

She's right...

Huh?

That girl again!

If this case is related to Horrors like the Moon Wizard case,

I might be able to meet Sword!

It's a little bit past this street.

Father Ripley fixed up an old church and lived together with Miss Marie.

Miss Marie?

She's Father Ripley's little sister.

She was a real beauty when she was young.

She's sickly and rarely shows her face to anyone nowadays.

Her brother was a stout believer and a wonderful priest.

Over here, Brother!

Hey! Watch out!

S-Sorry.

Martin! What's this?

I bought it with the reward money I got from programming.

Chocolate...

You can eat it all!

Thanks!

Sophie. Someday, I'll let you eat your fill of the things you love!

E-Excuse me!

Who is it?

Sorry for intruding so suddenly.

My name is Sophia Hennes.

I'm from Katrina Home in Russel City.

Father Ripley took care of us before.

Um, are you Miss Marie?

Yes, I am. Nice to meet you.

Um! I was wondering if I could chat with you a bit!

Please come on in.

Y-Yes!

And your brother has been missing since then?

Yes. That's why it still hasn't sunk in at all.

What about the police?

They listened, but it seems there are a lot of cases like this.

They told me not to be too hopeful.

That's terrible.

The police don't understand how we feel, living each day like this!

We?

I've been looking for my big brother this whole time, too.

My. You also have a brother, Sophie?

I see.

Miss Marie. You haven't been eating properly, right?

Huh?

How is it?

Thank you.

It's delicious!

Thank goodness!

The taste will really deepen if we let it simmer a bit more!

Miss Marie.

Did you make all these dried flowers yourself?

That's right.

I pick fresh flowers and dry them like this in the room.

Since I'm always in the house, it just turned into a hobby of mine.

Wow. There's so many!

Oh! Is that you in the picture, Miss Marie?

Yes, it's quite old.

It was when I went to the town festival.

So pretty!

Don't look so closely at it.

Why not?! You're so pretty, even now.

I bet if you wore a dress and went out you'd be super popular!

Nonsense. I'm no longer...

I'll get it.

Yes!

Huh?

Sword?!

Why are you here?

Not "you"! Sophie!

You better remember!
