The first 200 lines.
For what purpose are we existing in this world?
We humans value our lives.
I value my own life.
You really ate his hand.
Interesting.
If you lay a hand on this human, I'll kill you!
The most important thing... is having a network.
I researched about this "devil" and found out that the closest creatures of being a demon are humans.
You're mom, right?
No, she's A!
Tell me that this is just a lie!
Shinichi!
It's just a little... but you're changing.
What happened to my body?
You're Izumi Shinichi, right?
No!
This looks impossible for an ordinary human.
Humans can't move that fast. What happened?
Mothers have... quite a mysterious existence.
I can't shed... any tears.
Kill... or be killed.
Thank you for escorting him.
It's not worth thanking for.
We already got enough data that we can use.
001, come in.
The mincemeat murder case already has 35 victims as of now.
Uragami, what's the verdict? Is he human?
He's human.
You're sure he's not a monster?
However you look at it, he's human.
Next.
Next.
Hey! It's a woman, huh!
Next.
What the hell? I don't want to see an old lady...
This man is weird. We're going nowhere with this.
From my point of view, you're the weird ones.
For not believing that I can tell if someone's a human or not.
Don't run away from me!
What makes me different...
That's right...
Because I've assaulted so many people.
When I first saw it, of course I was surprised.
Because he's like another being that dresses as a man.
I don't know the area, but I followed them to see what will happen...
It was scary. I've never seen one like that before.
In any case... I alone have the power to distinguish a human from a monste--
Tell him to look forward.
Tell him!
Please show us your face.
No...
I'm wrong.
Is something bothering you?
For a moment there... I thought I saw something in him.
Must be my imagination.
Those unknown creatures killed too many people.
They must have somewhere to hide.
Izumi Shinichi is also hiding something from us.
Shinichi! I sense someone. It's close.
Which way?
About 700 meters.
In addition...
one of the victims was her mother.
And also,
the suspicious one here is,
none other than Shimada Hideo.
Besides Shimada Hideo, there are no others that were killed.
Was it a coincidence?
Hirama-san...
If this continues, you'll stop caring about yourself.
A comrade?
No... A human?
I see.
You're a human...
Migi, cover me.
Wait!
Amazing...
If only I got here sooner...
What's wrong?
Someone's definitely watching us. Are you sure you didn't sensed anyone?
Sensing a human's presence is difficult for me.
You can't rely on the police when it comes to capturing them.
We're also putting ourselves in danger. It would be best if we stop risking our lives anymore.
After all, it's because of us that your friends and your mother become involved in this.
Why don't you say that to your comrades...
It's for our safety.
If we kill all of them, we can live peacefully again.
That's just wishful thinking.
Once we kill all of them, I'll kill your boss next.
Boss?
He's a monster no matter how you looked at it.
The mayor said that he will protect this city from parasites.
That's what you humans call a "joke", right?
Well then, time to taste this one up.
One more thing, Shinichi...
Shinichi!
Delicious. Your miso soup is really tasty, huh.
The mayor probably now has many parasites at his disposal.
What's the situation right now?
Another one of our comrades has been killed again.
Where?
Dining Room, Block E.
Just when will this killing end?
Tamiya-san?
What do you think?
Izumi Shinichi's mother... was killed.
Her mother's death... has led him to his reckless actions.
But, it was just a small case. Let him be.
What do you gain from observing the humans?
It's better if we let Izumi Shinichi and Migi live as our test subjects.
It will be advantageous to us.
In order for us to coexist with humans...
we must bet on them as our hope.
Hope, huh...
I want to speak with Gotou-san. Where is he?
He's training yet again.
Talking it out with Gotou is unnecessary.
Quiet.
In this country, there's a large population growth.
Taking a bunch of people won't be that easy to notice.
We can take their lives, their techniques, and their lifestyle.
Alright, then. I'll do as you say.
We are all living peacefully here thanks to Tamiya-san.
Hey.
What's so funny, asshole?
This place... is the yakuza's headquarters, right?
How many people are inside?
Bastard, stop fucking around!
That was splendid, Gotou.
I need more training.
Wasn't killing 8 members of the yakuza too much?
It wasn't me. It's Miki.
Miki, huh...
You also want to be recognized, right?
I don't want this body to get injured, so I won't participate.
I don't want to go to war.
It's too much for me.
I'll tell it to her once she gets back.
Well, Gotou?
Izumi Shinichi and Migi already killed too many of us.
Kill him.
Tamiya-san refused. She said we should continue our observation.
He is our hope, she said.
Hope, huh...
But how do we observe him?
If we get too close, he'll sense us.
Let a human do it.
It would be impossible to sense someone who isn't one of us.
Have I made you wait?
N-Not at all.
Tamiya-san, we should reveal this to everyone.
You're talking about... mass communication, right?
I understand your feelings.
You don't want to get hurt, right?
But y'know...
right now, we can't do anything about these creatures' existence.
We must get this information to the government at once.
As a journalist, I can't keep quiet about this.
It's hard to say this, but...
you also need money, right?
Raising a child on your own must be really difficult.
I, too, am raising one so I know the feeling.
I didn't mean to offend you or anything.
In fact, umm...
I want you to understand.
Even so, umm...
as a fellow single parent--
Kuramori-san...
Y-Yes?
Can you wait a little longer...
for me to think this through?
I just want to maintain our current relationship.
I-I understand!
Peek-a... boo!
Well, ain't you cute~
Peek-a peek-a... boo!
I'm home.
Yumi?
Have you eaten yet?
Do you want to see your future mother?
What?
Of course, we won't replace your real mother.
I don't understand. Isn't it the same as replacing mom?
You're a real grown-up now, aren't you?
What are you doing?! It's disgusting! It's creeping me out!
What the hell...
No one saw what really happened.
People are always saying,
"just forget it all happened".
"Don't ever talk about it", they said.
Strange, isn't it?
But...
It's alright to forget--
How am I supposed to forget?!
You're acting weird, Shinichi!
Moreover, the Shinichi I know doesn't say things like that. He's more... caring...
Shinichi.
So you've finally noticed, huh.
Who are you?
I don't know what you mean.
