Matsumura!
Matsumura!
Matsumura!
Damn it, let go of me!
Fujita...
There's someone in here! In his mouth!
You're not it.
It's not working?
Hey.
What the heck did you just say, Caiman?
Hey.
What did the guy inside say?
That I wasn't it.
I see.
Okay.
So you're useless.
Nikaido!
Damn it, he got away!
I shouldn't have let my guard down.
You idiot, you moron!
Hey, take it easy. Here.
But we finally got to see them generating that Door.
Yeah.
THE BEGINNING
CAIMAN
Beyond that Door is the world of the Sorcerers.
They use their Magic to generate Doors.
They connect their world with ours, down in the Hole.
Today was such a crappy day.
Cheer up.
I'll make you your favorite Ohba Gyoza at my diner.
They come to the Hole to "practice."
Seems like there's more people that have been practiced on.
The entire Hole is distorted because of all the Magic.
What is it, Caiman? Looking at this alley again?
Yeah. This is the last thing I saw before losing my memory.
Who was the man in this alley that day?
Is he the Sorcerer that I'm looking for? The guy that made me look like this?
Is the man in my mouth, me?
Is he my true form?
Let's eat, huh?
Looks pretty good.
I'm starving.
But I can't go home until I finish another one.
I can't stand it.
Nikaido, hurry up and gimme some food.
Here you are.
That's the stuff!
Just you wait, Sorcerer! I'll find you tomorrow!
RECEPTION
Please put the egg in and pray for his regeneration.
Forgive me, Matsumura.
Excuse me.
Mr. En, can I have a minute?
Fujita. I heard Matsumura was killed.
And that it was someone from the Hole that did it.
Don't tell me it's true.
I-It is true. I've just been to his funeral.
And where are you going in your funeral shoes?
There were two killers.
One was a girl. The other was a huge guy with a lizard head.
For some reason, our Magic didn't work on him.
He must be under some other spell.
Anyway, you can't work your Magic with a broken finger.
Without your Magic, they could kill you too.
I have an idea.
The Hole, huh? What a disgusting place.
-Hey, Nikaido! -Hey!
Hey!
Nikaido!
Caiman! What are you doing up there?
Got a part-time job.
This is the practice victims' ward.
I figured the patients might be able to tell me about the Sorcerers.
But nobody's here now.
You think they've quit practicing?
We've killed a few, so they're probably being more careful.
If they stop coming, I'll have a lizard head for the rest of my life!
Caiman, you idiot. Get to work, we got an emergency patient!
Seeing the way he's been mutated, I bet it was the same Sorcerer.
Damn, that's some shitty Magic.
Can't be the same one that got me, huh?
What a letdown.
This is their excuse for a bug? Poor guy.
The blood is clotting where the mutated parts start.
Damn it, a spasm. Hey, Caiman!
What are you going to make with that meat?
Roast pork.
Really?
Get to work!
I'll come to your place when I get off work.
Leave some of that pork for me.
Yeah, sure.
Hey, over here.
The Hungry Bug, Nikaido's diner, was on the outskirts of the Hole.
Near that alley.
The area was known for its frequent appearances of Sorcerers,
so she didn't get many customers.
Hey, you okay?
I'm starving... I need food...
More please!
I like the name of your diner. Great place.
Thanks.
Dang, you've got an appetite almost as big as Caiman's.
It's dangerous around here, you know.
Where do you live? I'll take you home.
There are Sorcerers that transform humans into insects these days.
I just saw one of the victims.
But it was such a joke!
A joke?
Yeah, the clumsiest one I've ever seen.
I'd like to see the guy that did such shitty Magic.
Hey.
It was me.
Satisfied?
What do you mean, "no trespassing"?
The passage to the Hole has been temporarily blocked off.
-You can't enter or leave the Hole. -But--
