Devil (Maou / 魔王)

Ikehata died.

You can't prove Amano is guilty with that.

This would be Amano's wish!

We were used... To erase Ikehata.

11 years ago, you and I smothered the truth. That's why this is happening.

Don't you believe your own father? You're a foolish person!

We are no longer father and son.

I believe in you. Just as I believed in Ryo who passed away.

I'm sorry... neesan.

I trust you. Please don't hide things from me.

Let go! Let's put an end to this.

- I'll abandon everything. - I can't!

Is it okay if it got exposed?

If your opponent is that dead person, you won't be able to catch him.

Manaka Tomo is... alive.

I sometimes lose sight of who I am. Of why I'm alive.

To the extent of deceiving important people.

I don't know what's troubling you, but if there's anything I can support you with, please tell me.

Am I not good enough to become your angel?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'll walk you home.

Ikehata said if our opponent was that dead person, we wouldn't catch him.

Yes.

In other words,

the person we think is dead is actually the criminal.

What do you mean?

Manaka Tomo is...

alive.

What!?

Ikehata surely

found proof that Manaka Tomo is still alive.

It's raining.

Wait a little, please.

Please, use this.

Thank you.

This!

Take this.

But...

Thank you.

I should be the one

to thank you.

For testifying for the sake of my brother.

Is something the matter?

No.

Well...

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

What?

Ikehata-san...

Yes.

And...

among his things, there was this.

Ikehata...

said he knew who the real criminal was.

Eh?

If you took a look at this

we might be able to find out something.

Okay.

I saw your father.

He was shaking hands with Lawyer Kumada.

Next to them, a young boy wearing a school uniform.

And...

it was raining heavily.

It's that day.

That day?

11 years ago...

the day I was judged innocent.

It was pouring that day.

Rain...

Rain's...

truth.

Eh?

On a rainy day...

being judged innocent, the truth was buried.

Amano Makoto's alias also

its "Manaka Tomo" anagram,

and the afterimage just now.

The criminal is...

sending a message saying he's Manaka Tomo after all.

But that person has already passed away.

Ikehata might have found proof that he's still alive.

Have you ever met that person?

I went to see him a long time ago.

In the end

I couldn't see him.

I...

might have met him.

What?

11 years ago,

there was a person that lent me an umbrella.

Back then,

he thanked me for testifying for the sake of his brother.

Testifying?

Yes.

I was the one to testify that Hideo-san had been stabbed.

I'm sure

that guy is the real criminal.

That person

is Amano Makoto?

Am I not good enough to become your angel?

- Knight of Sword. - Hey!

So it will progress even further.

Here.

Prince on a white horse.

Why don't you invite him?

No way!

Manaka Tomo is still alive?

Yes.

Absurd.

Please listen to what Serizawa has to say.

That would be a waste of time.

Telling me a dead person is the criminal.

This incident has no resolution.

That's true.

The case hasn't ended yet.

Not until I am murdered.

Till then,

the people around me will continue being murdered.

Therefore, if there's even the slightest possibility

there's no way I can give up!

Excuse me. To Serizawa-san...

this...

The other day,

sorry for startling you.

It's okay.

The cookies...

were delicious.

Really?

I'm glad.

I'll be on my way.

Naruse-san.

Next Saturday

there's a fireworks display.

If you wish

would you like to go together?

You're

busy, right?

No.

I'm free that day.

Really!?

Yes.

Is 7 o'clock near the bridge okay?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Detective-san.

Another letter from Amano...

I finally get a hold of you.

Why did you send the envelope on your own accord?

Because the plan hasn't been progressing for a few days...

I-I wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

As for the card, the 5 of Wand is okay, right?

Who is the next target?

Do you want to call off the revenge?

That's not it.

They are the ones that stole Hideo's future from him.

I know that.

Are you going to forgive Serizawa Naoto?

No!

Hideo, who was trampled on by that guy...

even you are abandoning him!?

This time, this card was sent to me.

5 of Wand.

Dilemma.

It means a dispute between comrades.

A dispute between comrades?

Hey.

What are your intentions?

I don't want to break you two up.

Just that...

this guy doesn't seem to take me seriously.

So I called you.

It's already over.

We broke up.

So?

They are two different matters.

Please just forget about it. Aren't we friends?

If we're friends then listen to my request.

I got it.

I will talk to the president about employing you as manager.

Just talking won't do!

Make up your mind already.

The wife of the Serizawa group president and his secretary having an affair.

If it leaks to the media, it'll be quite a show.

Well,

think about it.

What should we do?

I'll fix it, somehow.

As expected, it seems those two have that kind of relationship.

I see.

There's another troublesome matter.

A man by the name of Soda

seems to have threatened

to leak the story to the media.

What?

Hideo, who got trampled on by that guy

even you are abandoning him!?

Oniichan.

Hiring Soda as manager is obviously out of the question.

I will take responsibility and train him.
