Death Cash (死幣)

Hey, sis. Have you heard of "SHIHEI"?

What is it?

"SHI" stands for death and "HEI" for cash, SHIHEI (death cash)

People who yearn money so desperately,

suddenly receive money that is cursed

if they end up using that death cash,

stains start to appear on the face of Fukuzawa Yukichi

Stains?

And, when this happens

It's all over

And...

Those who used the death cash

die in an extremely cruel way

So, are you scared?

It hurts! Don't do this, sis!

Cut the silly stories and go study, exams start next week

This scary story is super popular now

But you are clueless so your adorable sister is...

By the way, I'm on my first year stop playing in room every night

You know... father is dead

and mother off to Africa

Koyume

I'm sorry, I did not mean to...

Ah, Koyume!

I'm off to study! - You wait right there!

The nine of us

All of us

were destined to die

The death cash was more terrifying than we had imagined

Every powerful country, every talented individual,

have only one path of ruin

And it is money

The glorious Roman Empire was destroyed by tax evasion, the war genius Napoleon...

What happened? Are you not feeling well?

No... I haven't heard from Ikumi...

Ikumi? - She does not answer the phone

and does not call back

Gotta do something to pay these absurd tuition fees. I can't figure it out!

Stop talking like that, Yuka is really worried

Ok

Mari! - Yes!

Have you heard from? - No, I didn't

You asked Kazue, right?

Yeah, but Kazue is busy with her job

and hasn't heard from her lately

I really wanted to ask Kawabe but

he's completely passed out now

And Erina...

what's the point?

Nevertheless, money

is the most perfect creation in our world

mankind's greatest invention

In our lives, It is simply impossible

To avoid using money

Ikumi has been a bit weird recently

She started to care a lot about her looks

And why did she break up with Kawabe?

That I don't know

Did something happen?

I got another prayer

A prayer?

"We pray you find success ..." It means I got rejected

Well, this is not what I wanted to do

What do you want to do, Senpai?

A bank or something related to a fund

There is this Grameen bank from Bangladesh

That's the bank that makes unsecured loans to poor people, right?

Yes, I was really shocked when I learned that

By nature, money should make people happy

When I look for a job, I'll say I want to create something like this in Japan

Awesome - Do you have something, Yuka?

Something you aspire to become?

I...

still do not know

I just think about living

happily together with my family

Happiness?

Sorry, I guess that's trivial

Not at all, you're still at your first year

That is normal

But I want to find something like you did

Something I really want

It's alright, I'm sure you will find it, Yuka

Well, let's go

I have to prepare dinner for my younger sister

Ok

It's alright, I'm sure you will find it, Yuka

Well, let's go! I have to prepare dinner for my younger sister

So close...

Ok, I gotta go.

Yuka?

And I want to work so that poor people

have the means to get an unsecured loan in Japan

I expect growth and investments in Southeast Asia

And... how would you make a profit?

Well, I will study it further...

Listen here, a business is not a school

I can't beat the competition with that!

But if things stay the same,

the world's inequality will keep growing and...

Then, shouldn't you do something about it?

Start a business or whatever... - Start a business...

You just need 10 million No, 30 million for that!

Ok, you can go now

Talking to the likes of you is a waste of time

Did you have another vision?

Hey, sis, why don't you tell Senpai Miura about it

No way! What if I space out as always?

But he likes you, though.

He does not...

It's kinda obvious

Come now... that's enough! This conversation is over

Dating would be good for you

If you had money to die for, what would you do?

I would buy a space shuttle

I would make myself pretty. I'm not a beautiful woman

Ikumi?

So I'd do surgery and show them

Did something happen, sis?

Just now I... - What?

Wait, sis!

Ikumi!

Ikumi...

Yuka

Kazue

Kazue!

Ikumi is...

I offer you my condolences

The loss of Ikumi Tachibana
