Devil (Maou / 魔王)

Pre-notified murder?

It's Amano again.

If you get a package that no one knows anything about, notify me immediately.

The people around me are being targeted.

We plead innocence on account of legitimate self-defense.

Hideo, watch me.

My junior high school.

It's atonement for a past sin.

I let a classmate die.

Please, stop it already! The one to blame is me. It's all my fault!

I'm your goal, right? Don't involve people who've got nothing to do with this!

For her to be the daughter of a murderer. I hate the person who made me kill.

I feel I'm being used by the devil.

It might be my fault.

There's no doubt that incident 11 years ago is the background story to this matter.

Young boy A-san.

Death...

That brother died one year after Hideo.

Manaka Hideo has no relatives.

He's telling me to pass through the gates of hell, right?

If I were to research you, there are one or two things that would trouble you, right?

It's been a while...

...Neesan.

Ryo. You came.

I'm sorry. I've been busy.

Here.

A gift.

What a nice fragrance. Thank you.

You've lost weight, haven't you?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What about you? How are you feeling?

I'm good, too.

"Live equals... Evil."

To live is...

evil.

What's the meaning of this card?

The Ace of Swords.

In regards to love and hate, it holds the meaning of big power.

It also

hints to a change that can't be avoided.

Unavoidable change?

Right! I have watermelon in the fridge.

Want some?

I should be on my way.

I see.

By the way, do you remember?

What?

The time during junior high when you gulped down watermelon seeds.

Eh?

Oh.

That day, when you told me they'd grow in my stomach,

I cried a lot.

Though I was only teasing you,

you ended up taking it seriously.

Aren't you eating, Ryo?

I don't like it if I don't take them all off first.

When I was little, I gulped watermelon seeds,

and my sister told me they'd grow in my stomach.

I took it seriously and cried all night.

Oh that sister is the one that was hospitalized?

Yes.

Even though she can't see, she's cheerful.

She's always telling jokes and laughing.

I see.

To you people are good, so you get tricked easily.

That's because you're good at tricking people.

A silhouette of objects like pillars that were collapsing...

Pillars?

- Are they called metal frames? That sort of thing. - Metal frames?

Anything else?

Yamano-san...

He was retrieving a red envelope from a locker.

So it's him as I thought.

Your sister is doing well.

Ryo.

I'll keep watch, so why don't you rest a little?

I'm fine.

He's here!

He was retrieving a red envelope from a locker.

What do you want!?

What are you doing!?

Next time you do something like this, I-I'll report you to the police.

Yamano!!

Is this coincidence!? Huh?

Are you enjoying making fun of me!?

What?

If it's to be done, then do it yourself!

Don't involve people who have nothing to do with it.

Try killing me with your own hands!!

I-

...I'm not a killer, unlike you!

Then, may I gather the judicial precedents?

Yes.

I'll leave the office seal to you.

What!?

As expected.

He followed the plan exactly. It was amusing.

Is that so?

Yes.

You see, today...

He... to me...!

It starts now.

He's only passed through the gates of hell for now.

What should I do next?

For now,

please wait for instructions.

Tell me a little more, please.

Aren't I your partner?

There are things you're better off not knowing.

Do you still want to know?

No.

- Good morning. - Hello.

It's been a while, Serizawa-sensei.

I noticed something interesting.

The serial murder incidents that have been going on lately,

aren't they somehow related to that incident of your son's?

In the surroundings of a man that stabbed a classmate in the past, serial murders are occurring.

Moreover, that boy is Serizawa Eisaku's son.

I'm sure the media would feast on this, don't you agree?

What do you want?

You put me in a tough spot, coercing me like this.

I just came here to see how well you're doing.

Oh, right.

You might worry about your son, but...

Please, do take care of yourself.

Could you please find out what's going on around Naoto?

Yes. I got it.

And, tell Osumi to contact me, please.

By Osumi you mean...

You don't have to tell Noryoshi.

Kasai.

Mari is downstairs. I'll be going out for a while.

Okay.

Ah! I was right after all!

You're Kasai's girlfriend, right?

Oh, you don't remember? I'm Soda.

We met at his apartment!

Kasai-kun, when did you get a girlfriend?

I'm Soda. This guy's classmate. Nice to meet you.

Back then he was on the verge of losing it, saying that you're his cousin.

Oh! You have a date? I came to see him, too.

I need to go to the restroom.

What was that?

Oh!

Hello, oniisan.

Hey.

She was supposed to be in the lobby...

Eh? Who?

She might be waiting in the car.

I see.

Hey, Kasai. Your girlfriend is here.

What are you doing later. Wanna grab a bite?

I'm working!! Please, leave!!

What?...

Sorry about that.

What, do you have a girlfriend?

No. He's just got it wrong.

Let's go.

Haughty.

Yes.

Okay, I got it.

Seems she went to the restroom.

I see.

A tarot card...

Well, that's some good story.

I wasn't talking to you.

I was talking to myself.

I know that... Detective-san.

Wait! Did you sleep over, again!?

Aah... I don't get it.

Get what?

Makoto written as "truth".

Eh?

Why bother with furigana even though it's an alias?

Amano Makoto written as "the rain's truth".

Takatsuka.

Yes?

Could you please help me out a little?

A delivered tarot card means someone will get killed again.

But evidence against Yamano can't be found.

All of Hideo's relatives have died.

We can only go over the evidence again.

Please.

Which one?

"The rain's truth."

Hello.

Excuse me.

Could you please come right now?

One light sways slowly

disappears without healing pain

One tear falls numbly

disappears without any emotions reaching

It won't stop traces of spilled tears

at that moment color of tears about to overflow

it hides color of tears about to overflow

Love is surely like incessant rain

They can't go back traces of spilled tears
