Post by bunniefuu »

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom Et lingua eius loquetur indicium And his tongue shall speak judgment Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem Blessed is the man that endureth temptation Quoniam cum probatus fuerit accipient coronam vitae For when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison Lord, fire divine, have mercy O quam sancta, quam serena Oh how holy, how serene Quam benigma, quam amoena How benign, how pleasant O castitatis lilium Oh lily of purity This Since you've been staring at this I just thought that it was a beautiful melody.

Really? Are they sticking out from your head? They somehow look like horns.

Am I repulsive to you having things like this sticking out? I'm just so tired of it all Everything That's cool!

They're so cool!

Wow That's amazing!

You have no idea how much hardship I've had because of these.

I don't know what you mean, but I think I think they're cool.

It's true.

I'm not lying!

Leave me alone.

Hey, be friends with me!

I'm staying at my relative's right now and I'll have to go home soon.

But let's play together till them!

If you have a problem, you can tell me anything.

I'll help you for sure.

You must be joking!

Oh, why? Because I hate you all.

You all? Hold on!

My name is Kohta.

I'll be waiting for you here around the same time tomorrow.

So be sure to come!

It's a promise!

There still haven't been any leads in the children's m*rder case that occurred before dawn today at the children's home, and the people in the neighborhood are becoming more concerned.

There's also information that a child from the home is still missing, and the police are expanding the search area I'll be waiting for you here around the same time tomorrow.

I just wanna be here for you.

So a whole family was m*rder*d this time? I was told that the MO was the same as this one.

This guy's really a bloodthirsty k*ller.

Even the Prefectural Police Department's in an uproar.

I guess this is no time to search for a missing girl.

Yeah.

What's the matter? It's started raining.

Shall we go back for now? Yeah.

I know There's no way he's coming.

I just don't have a place to go.

I'll give this to you.

If you don't like those horns, all you need to do is hide them.

Your knee When I snuck out of the house, I hit it.

Snuck out? I hit it when I tried to jump onto a tree from the second floor.

Dad tells me not to go outside.

He said a scary m*rder*r's running around.

The rain isn't stopping.

Hey, why were you here? For no particular reason.

I see What about you? Why did you wanna What is it? Um make friends with someone like me? This I like drawing and I went to the mountain to sketch yesterday too.

And then you were there.

You looked lonely somehow.

I don't need your sympathy.

And this I love this melody too, so I was very happy to hear that It's cold, isn't it? Yeah.

What're you doing?!

It's warm if we do this.

Otherwise we'll catch a cold.

Thanks for the hat.

Will you play with me again? Yeah.

Well, then!

Hey, you!

You shouldn't be out playing this late.

You were told by your teacher that there's a curfew, weren't you? It's dangerous, so go home right away.

Mamiko's stupid!

Shut up, big brother!

Hey, Mom, isn't it time for dinner yet? Be more patient.

Your dad'll be home soon.

I'm home.

Isn't anybody home? Honey? Oh, it's you, Mamiko.

What're you doing with the lights off? I guess this place'll do for a while.

It's been three days.

I wonder if he won't show up after all.

You've been waiting for me?!

I wasn't really I thought I'd be able to see you if I came here.

I came to say goodbye to you today.

I see So, let's go play for the whole day today!

Play? You've never been to a zoo? Is it fun watching dumb animals? Yeah, it's fun!

There're unusual animals.

I love unusual animals.

even though you aren't a human.

I'm not interested in dumb animals.

Woah!

What's this? He's big, big, big!

He's somehow very big!

Woah!

It's not like I'm amused by this.

I was just a little surprised, and Woah!

He's got a long neck!

He's got a long neck!

Hey!

He's got a long neck!

This is amazing!

This is amazing!

This is the first time I've seen someone who's so amused by elephants and giraffes.

Here you go.

I got a big allowance from my dad today, so help yourself.

This tastes good.

But it's a little cold.

That's 'cause it's ice shavings.

Hey, let's go around a little more.

Okay.

What is it? Around what time are you leaving tomorrow? I think it'll be at night, because we go back by night train after going to a festival with my cousin.

I see Where shall we go next? I don't know where since it's so big.

Come to think of it, another brutal m*rder case happened, didn't it? This is the third case, right? It's scary, isn't it? What're the police doing? Honestly Already? sh**t!

I'd better k*ll someone again and find a place to stay.

"k*ll"? Did I say "k*ll"? What's with me? Why do I only think about k*lling? It's because you like k*lling people, isn't it? No!

Unless you k*ll them, humans'll k*ll you some day.

But it can't be a reason for k*lling even people whom I have nothing to do with.

You should know by now that I was born to destroy humans.

Shut up!

Oh, nothing.

I'm a little tired because it's hot.

I found a cool place.

Woah!

The water's cold and it feels good!

Hey!

You face's dirty.

You're even cleaner than me now.

You little That was payback.

You did it first!

We won't be able to ride the bus until our clothes dry.

So we already have to say goodbye today.

Kohta In my whole life I had the most the most fun in my whole life today.

You're exaggerating.

I'll never forget about today for the rest of my life.

Kohta About tomorrow's festival Yeah? Would it be a problem if I come with you? I'm sorry I've already promised my cousin.

I see.

Then I guess it can't be helped.

I'm really sorry.

If I hadn't promised Don't worry about it, Kohta.

Is your cousin a girl? Are you okay? Yeah.

Hey, what did you just say? Nothing.

Kohta must be going to the festival with a girl.

You'd hate it if that happened, wouldn't you? It'd be hard, wouldn't it? It'd be painful, wouldn't it? That's silly.

If he makes you feel this unpleasant, you can go ahead and k*ll him.

That's not right!

If you k*ll him now, you won't even have to feel that way.

It's that simple, isn't it? Shut up!

Who the hell are you?!

As if you don't know I can't breath Sorry.

Are you all right? Boy, you surprised me.

What's with you all of a sudden? Hey Kohta Huh? I have a favor to ask.

If I start k*lling many other people What're you talking about? Kohta I want you to k*ll me.

Nothing I love watching the ocean from here.

Thanks for today.

No problem.

Anyway, I had fun today.

A lot of fun.

Well, then Yeah We're planning to come here next year too, so we'll meet again.

Hey, Kohta What is it? Is your cousin who's going with you tomorrow a boy or a girl? It's a boy.

I see!

Tomorrow Tomorrow night, I'll come to see you off at the station.

Bye!

I thought that being able to be with you would be the only memory that I'd like to remember for the rest of my life.

But if I see Kohta today If I see him today I'll tell him how I feel honestly.

No, no, no!

Idiot!

At a place like this 'Cause I can't stand that I won't be able to see you until next summer.

Hey, stop crying.

Why? Don't just stand there, idiot!

I see.

Kohta already had someone he liked.

That's right.

There's no way that I'd come to like a girl with such strange horns.

Then why did you I told you that I love unusual animals.

Hey!

You're not a human.

This is the world where humans live.

What a foolish girl.

This is happening because you believed a human even though you aren't a human.

I can't stand it any more.

I can't bear it any longer.

No friends, no home I have nothing now.

You should know by now.

This world is one that I shouldn't be in.

Then, what should I do? It's easy.

All you have to do is change this world to my world, since I have enough power to be able to achieve that.

Choose between being treated coldly, being despised, and dying in the gutter, or What the hell is this brat? You're in my way!

Don't lay around on the street!

What's with this girl? She's also muttering while laying there Are you gonna create your own home? Kohta Get out of my way, idiot!

What're they? Goodbye.

I really liked you.

What the Was it a b*mb? Call the police!

The police!

You Are you all right? You're covered with blood!

I'll destroy you all of you It's true!

I saw it!

There was a person with horns, and there were many people laying around her.

Liar You can at least make rice porridge, right? Well You gotta be kidding me!

Something like rice porridge can be made easily by anyone.

There's no mistake.

It's Miss Lucy.

Miss Lucy's inside.

But Is Miss Nyu really This is strange.

It's too quiet.

Could it be The other two That can't be!

Mayu, no!

Miss Nyu? As I thought, you're The man gave up on being a human for something that's not a human.

What's left for the man as a result of that action is the eternal hell called "regret," an illness which is not fatal and yet causes sickness unto death.
