And you found your place as a suicide professional.

However...

What about putting an end to it?

More than anybody here,

you are suffering being conscious of those sins.

At this rate, if these guys keep increasing,

you will end up having to shoot yourself in the head.

Or will you end up chopped using the knife of that Semi?

Disappear....

Put an end to everything.

We looked for you quite a lot.

Your woman...

Was one of the victims of that incident, right?

President Terahara wants to meet you.

To think you are the one that requested that pusher...

Me?

You did well, tricking me...

That's wrong, it wasn't me.

It's too late to play dumb.

Welcome in, hello.

Right now, we are in the middle of the summer thanksgiving festival.

Wait there!

Sorry!

Suzuki!

Wait there!

Suzuki!

The requester? What's that?

What's going on...

Suzuki!!

Stop!

Die!

For real!?

You're in the middle! Move!

Day 2

You are being chased by Terahara.

Please, take your family and run away.

You are being chased by Terahara.

Fire!

Help us!

Hurry up! There is a fire in the house! Help us!

Lend me that!

Thank you very much.

At times like that, it's true you get too scared to even think.

I wasn't even able to figure out how to use the fire extinguisher anymore.

And your husband?

This morning, seems there was some troubles with one of the clients, and had to go.

Even though it was his day off.

What's his job?

He's a systems engineer.

So is it?

And you, Suzuki-san?

What's your job?

I work for a home tutoring company...

Why were you in front of our house?

I had some work in this area...

Ah, what a good timing!

If you are a home tutor, there is something I want to talk with you.

My husband will be back if you stay for a bit longer.

Then, let's play soccer till then!

Sorry, sorry.

You're so bad, Suzuki-san!

By the way...

What kind of person is your dad?

What do you mean?

Like work and so.

Why are you asking me that?

No...

It's hot today again, huh?

Yeah.

Today is specially hot.

Actually, I followed you--

Do you know what color are the migratory locust?

Aren't they green?

Normally yes.

But when they grow up in a crowded place,

there is a mutation, it's called "swarming phase".

Their color becomes darker, their wings grow up,

They become destructive.

In order to get food, when there is not enough for all...

People are the same.

In this world with an excess of information,

humans, in order to satisfy their desires,

go through a mutation.

The same way than the swarming locusts,

they become destructive.

I'm sorry about last night.

We are pals.

Don't we work well together?

You're getting carried away.

Don't make that mistake again.

I know. "Be careful before rushing out of the..."

You become anxious without Jack Crispin words, right?

It's the same than me liking shijimi.

Hey,

I've been always wondering something...

What do you think while killing?

What?

When killing somebody, do you think about any excuse or reason for it?

I do it without thinking anything.

I do it because that's my job, that's all.

Whoever it is,

they don't get the meaning of being killed.

The shijimi spit bubbles.

It would be good to be able to say humans are breathing by seeing their bubbles, like with shijimi.

In that case,

the killer and the victim,

may be able to understand the meaning of being alive.

What the hell is that?

You are surely interesting.

Anyway, I'm going to search for Kujira's whereabouts now.

I leave the rest to you.

Pal!

Kujira-san... Right?

That eliminates the time to look for you.

I would have appreciated if you had knocked.

Sh*t!

Who told you to kill me?

President Terahara.

Terahara...

Your employer betrayed you.

They said you ended up knowing too much.

For those guys, we are simply pieces.

Isn't it stupid to kill each other just as they say?

Let's think coldly about it...

I will put an end to everything.

Look into my eyes.

Remember the sins inside of you.

My biggest sin,

It's to have dragged that guy into this business.

My pal, Semi.

He's still a brat, a good one.

He always buys shijimi after any job.

When he sees the bubbles,

he can understand the meaning of living, he says.

Made him become a killer.

Your sins will disappear if you die.

Say,

You...

There is a big hollow inside of your eyes.

How are you able to do that?

Ah! Don't do that.

You kill using suicide, a gun is against the rules, right?

It may be Semi.

It's the last time.

Let me pick up the call.

About what we talked before,

it was a bit wrong.

What talk?

You asked it, right?

What do I think when killing.

You think of nothing, right?

Wrong.

I wish the buzzing in my ears would disappear.

I can always hear a sound in my ears.

That sounds disappears,

When I'm swinging a knife, and also,

When looking at the shijimi?

Well, there is also that.

It's when I listen to your useless talk.

Then go to the hospital.

I won't be able to talk to you again.

What do you mean?

Kujira is right in front of me.

I wish the buzzing sound disappears.

Semi! The stray black cat has a bell!

Properly find him!

Hey, Iwanishi!

He's seriously strong.

He will do his very best.

I'm not committing suicide,

I'm jumping off.

Death will come after that.

The next one is Terahara.

Put an end to everything.

Say something...

Iwanishi!

Here you have. Eat without restraints, please.

Let's talk about the home tutor stuff calmly after this.

I'll eat~!

The guest should eat first, right?

Ah, then...

Don't eat that fast.

You have to eat slowly.

I took the time to make it specially for you, after all.

So eat savoring it more.

I'm savoring it.

It's truly delicious.

As expected, Yuriko'sans cooking has a unique taste.

Do you know what's said to be the best condiment?

Like salt?

The best one,

is to thinking about the person you want to eat it.

I will put the leftovers in the freezer.

Thank you.

Isn't this like a time capsule?

What do you mean?

I mean, when you unfreeze it, it won't be just the flavor,

but also the feelings of when making it will come back, right?

A time capsule, huh?

Yeah.

Are you by any chance... Crying?

Sorry for doing it while eating.

It's fine, don't mind about it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is it yours, Suzuki-san?

No, mine is turned off.

Fraulein

The call will end if you don't hurry up.

Hello?

You finally answered, huh?

Is that girl safe?

Ah, your student?

She is.

You will release her if I go back, right?

Yeah.

I will go to the office now.

Seems like this kid turned it on as a prank,

was it a bad call?

No.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

One.. One moment.

You are being targeted by Terahara.

For the sake of your family...

Why are you telling me that?

Because you killed that man in my place...

So this is my thanks to you.

Then, I'm leaving.

About the talk about the swarming locusts,

if their number increase too much,

there is no option but to burn down every one of them.

Please, stay away. Stay away.
