The Chasing World Page #2

---

We've played together since we

were kids, remember?

But those guys are bad.

They even beat their parents to death.

Hiroshi suddenly changed.

When did that happen?

It was during elementary school.

I already said that we're opposites.

I blame this game for my blurry memory.

I don't think it matters.

As far as I know, there's

no Imperial in my Japan.

Not even any Monster Game.

If this happened, it's all right

for the masses to rebel.

Why should I listen to him?

I've heard that the Imperial

has supernatural powers.

The traitors are killed.

This is not an anime.

The masses have discussed this.

Actually the...

...rebel forces have been shut down.

Though I don't know of

any other ways out.

I keep thinking that

there'd be other ways.

You're so different.

Who're you?

- Brother.

- What?

Are you Satou Tsubasa?

You

Ai. Are you Ai?

I finally found you.

The sister that you said

was hospitalized.

It's impossible.

Follow me.

Hurry up. I've no time to explain.

Hang on, are you really Ai?

Impossible. Ai wouldn't call me "brother".

She's unemotional and can't talk.

Because of the relation, that's

why I call you "brother".

I've never seen you until now.

Look.

But you're my brother.

What're you saying.

Because my substitute is a brother.

Substitute?

You're from the world of parallel.

The parallel world?

Though it seems the same, it

exist in two different worlds.

What's that?

Just follow me.

How about you?

I'll go with you. Nothing

to do if I go to school.

Your name is also "Satou".

Hiroshi. Satou Hiroshi.

Glad to meet you.

Your sister has come

to this side of the world.

What?

She could talk to me.

She told me that she lived near this

area, but I searched through it yesterday.

She wasn't in the hospital?

I know. She was born with a power.

So, she confined herself to her own world.

Dad, I've got them here.

Brother,

that's Satou Hiroshi.

Dad.

Boy, if you call me

"dad" again, I'll kill you.

As you can see, dad's leg

was wounded and he can't run.

That's why I hope that you can help.

Who asked for his help?

Wait, can you both listen to me.

That's a good place here.

I don't understand.

Someone please explain it to me.

When'd your mom die?

Twenty years ago, she came

to this world.

It's not a question of time,

only a problem of parallel.

The parallel world is when 2

worlds are moving forward concurrently.

There would be a "substitute"

that inter-relates to one another.

The birth and death

would be at coincidence.

Our mom's substitute

would be Satou Masumi.

But your mom is special...

she had the special power to

cross over to the parallel world.

That's why you were born

in this world.

It was you who discarded yourself

from this world.

In the real world, Satou Masumi was

non-existent, but she gave birth to you.

So Satou Hiroshi would

have to survive alone.

And link with your newborn self...

She went back to her own world again

once she gave birth to you and

your sister in two separate worlds.

That's why mom died

after giving birth to me.

Concurrently, your mom was also dead.

How could this be possible?

In short,

your birth in this world and your

ID number have not been updated.

The cause of

Mom's death was accidental?

I don't have to tell you.

Masumi is my wife.

Even if she's your mom, that's useless.

Dad.

I'm sorry.

Dad doesn't believe in

the parallel world.

No matter what, you would

recall Ai back to normal.

If we die on this side of world

your dad and sister will

also die in the real world.

Although I know you're confused,

please listen to me.

Your special power is being able

to cross over into this world

Due to her first time experience

Ai.

Many "Satou's" are being killed lately.

- How are you?

- This strange phenomena is a big concern.

Investigation done by the

police was all in vain until now.

The search has come to a dead end now.

Pictured are the "Satou's" killed yesterday.

Satou Minoru, Satou Masaru,

Satou Yui, Satou Sachiko...

Monster Game. The 6th day begins.

The Monster

Game for the 6th day begins.

Calling all "Satou's", be highly

inspired to escape from the monsters.

Look.

The once busy streets are now empty.

Since the beginning of The Monster Game

there were reports of outsiders being hurt.

Now the school and almost all

companies have been closed.

A "Satou" has been caught!

Let me go!

What's that?

Go away! Don't interfere!

Damn. How should I

face this kind of sin?

If the "real" Hiroshi could cross

over to this world...

...would the people

be free from this disaster?

It doesn't matter.

Tsubasa was all alone...

and the others still got

the same substitutes.

It's not supposed to be him.

What should we do?

Hush!

We've been discovered.

Okay, follow me.

Run!

Here.

It's coming.

Dad.

Is your leg okay?

Where's the monster?

He didn't catch up with

us. Where's Tsubasa?

He should be okay.

He could be late on purpose.

Tsubasa might've done that to protect

Dad, who can't run very quickly.

Was he caught?

Thank goodness, he's okay.

Run!

He brought the monsters.

Run!

Ai.

What're we playing today?

Kissing. Kiss, yes.

Ai, I brought the dim-sum for you.

What're you doing?

Are you all right, Ai?

You bastard! You're a doctor.

What're you doing?!

- What, what am I doing?!

- What're you doing then?!

Sh*t.

Jump!

- No, no.

- What're you doing?

I'm scared of heights.

Idiot!

Get ahold of yourself!

Go with him!

I'm giving Ai to you.

Dad.

Let's go.

You're not going anywhere.

You bastard! Bastard.

The 6th day, end of The Monster Game.

Dad. Dad.

No, no.

Let's go.

No, no. Dad.

Dad, no.

The 6th day, end of The Monster Game.

He's not my dad.

Ai has a father and you're a

totally different guy as well!

Don't be angry. She lost her dad.

In the real world, dad is a crippled man.

Nobody else would like

to believe those words.

What're you saying?

You're a hypocrite.

The "bad" Hiroshi is so much better.

What're you saying?

You don't understand.

Because you're born in a different world,

of course you grew up differently.

But the essence won't be changed.

Your dad died today.

Liar!

My dad told me this.

Mom and myself could use

a substitute to speak out.

I also told this to your sister.

I said that if I died,

"You would die in the real

world, I'm sorry. "

Then she...

She said that if she couldn't go herself,

she'd ask Tsubasa to save me.

You're bluffing.

You're now talking to Ai?

I could only speak to her

through the special power.

Unless the person on the other

side wants to talk,

there is no connection.

Look. This is too unbelievable.

That may be true, Tsubasa.

You said my parents died

when I was in elementary school.

It's true that they died

when I was in elementary.

I know. I'm tired of this.

I'll do as I please.

Who'll take care of her?

I'll protect her, I'm

a master fugitive.

I could go anywhere if I'm alone.

The families who raised us

were caught just to save us.
