Devil (Maou / 魔王)

Yosuke was murdered!

Yosuke.

Search for Shintani Tae as being a potential suspect.

The matter this time was an unfortunate accident.

We plead legitimate self-defense.

Two people have been murdered! Is this your justice!?

I don't care about the law. I hate the person that made me kill.

Anything would be good. Can't you recall?

I don't remember.

The Empress card?

It got to Shiori-san. This time she might be the target.

I feel I'm being used by the devil.

That's the one! There's no mistake about it!

It's my... junior high school.

"Build everything into one whole."

"One echoes with the rest, they function mutually."

It's the atonement of a past sin.

Don't bully Yamano!

Watch out!

Detective-san?

Sorry...

Sorry...

Niichan!

Niichan!

Yosuke. Yosuke!

Hey! Yosuke!

Yosuke!

Hey!

Yosuke!

Hey, Naoto. Naoto! Stop it!

You're late.

What were you doing!?

Wasn't he your close friend!?

If you'd died Ishimoto would have rushed to you!

My deepest condolences.

The pain of losing a dear person...

I understand it.

Wai... Where were you? I called several times.

What is this?

Please...

let me quit.

Wait, what does this mean? Why!?

Come with me.

What happened?

If there's a good reason I won't restrain you.

Answer me!

I...

Have no right to be a detective.

Right?

I...

Am a villain.

I have no right to chase after people.

What are you talking about?

Pathetic.

That's how it is.

I'd forgotten about it.

That I'm a villain...

That I'm a deplorable person.

Naruse-sensei.

I'm Ikehata,

from the Weekly Journal.

How can I be of help?

Was it the "Angel Lawyer"?

You, in reality...

Aren't you a demon?

Hideo...

Wait, Yamano.

Yamano.

Yamano!

So that's what happened.

Yeah,

Kumada-san probably

never thought a big-shot attorney like himself would be murdered and no criminal prosecuted or indicted.

As far as the victim is concerned, you...

are a demon.

So, what was it you wanted to talk about?

Well, I heard from the Serizawa household

that you were requested to become their legal adviser.

Could you please

turn that offer down?

Why?

That Serizawa Eisaku is a scum bag.

Several years ago I wrote an article about his corruption, but

He used all means to smash me down.

Bribery, threats, anything!

Moreover, he sued me for defamation,

and applied pressure on the company till I was fired.

I won't forgive him!

I want revenge!

However, at that moment

if there's a capable lawyer such as yourself next to him, it would be hard to move about.

Therefore, here I am asking you.

I understand what you're saying.

You do!?

So...

But,

I'll take this decision on my own.

It's not like you have any obligation to the Serizawa household, right?

Strangely, there is a connection.

Till now in two matters.

As his son is a detective in charge.

Detective? Serizawa's son?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Sensei, that man right now

would use any dirty means

to get an exclusive. He's a reporter with a bad reputation.

Yes.

I know that.

One light sways slowly

disappears without healing pain

I take your life forever

You take my life forever

One tear falls numbly

disappears without any emotions reaching

I take your life forever

You take my life

It won't stop traces of spilled tears

at that moment 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

They can't go back traces of spilled tears

those memories traces of spilled tears

those memories color of tears about to overflow

they come around color of tears about to overflow

At the extremity of this world that had everything snatched away

is sadness

Though no matter what ending I picture, my heart remains wrapped in mystery

That's like a truth drawing near, just like darkness

Though no matter what world I depict, tomorrow is not visible

That's like a lily, not knowing impurity

a desire that remains untarnished

Yes, I'd like to get in contact with Yamano Keita by any means.

Oh, Soda happened to see him the other day.

What? Where!?

I don't know that, but

Soda said he's working at Kousen Publications.

Kousen Publications...

Young master.

Well, aren't I lucky...

To be able to meet you so suddenly.

Who are you?

I'm Ikehata.

I wrote about that incident 11 years ago.

Don't you remember?

Oh well.

But I was surprised.

That you became a detective.

A detective is supposed to be the ally of justice.

I wonder if that's okay.

Young boy A-san.

Excuse me, I'm in a hurry.

It's been a while... Yamano.

Do you remember me?

I need to talk to you.

Do you have a minute?

- I'll be done quickly. - Not likely.

Not a chance!

Wait a second, please.

Don't touch me.

Yamano...

I...

Yamano!

Please wait, Yamano.

Ishimoto died.

You know, right?

Know what?

Why Ishimoto died. You know, right?

Ishimoto died?

W-w-when?

It's such a pity that he died.

It's sad, isn't it?

A friend dying... It's really painful, isn't it?

Stop it, please!

The one to blame is me.

It's all my fault!

Your goal...

The real goal is me, right?

Don't drag people who have nothing to do with it into this.

What are you talking about?

Yamano.

What should I do? Tell me anything.

I'll do anything, I'll accept any judgment!

What are you talking about? I don't get it at all.

But...

You were a really horrible person.

It's true you should undergo judgment.

Suffer as much as possible.

What are you doing with such an object?

Hand it over.

No! I'll beat them to death.

Hey, Yamano!

Those guys are just cowards.
