I'm an undercover government operative.
I must fulfil my duty.
In this world, there are aliens from another dimension.
They're impersonating human beings,
and they're planning an invasion!
That is why...
...we must exterminate them!
You agree, don't you?
Hey...
Don't you agree?
Say that you agree!
Hey!
...Yes
I thought you'd understand.
That's right.
I'm an undercover government operative.
I must fulfil my duty.
Hey, am I pitiable...?
Juuzawa Juu
He is a king
The king of himself
A lone wolf
I thought I told you.
I'm not hanging out with you.
However, if it's a fight you want...
...I'll take you on any time.
Whenever you want.
However many times you want.
If it's him, then surely...

Hold it right there, Juuzawa Juu!
How many times have I told you that your hairstyle is against school regulations!?
Hey, Fujishima.
Do you really like me that much?
Of course not!
Sorry. Let me rephrase that.
Do you really dislike me that much?
I do! I hate you!
That's a pity.
Listen up, Juuzawa Juu!
If your hair is still like that tomorrow,
you're going straight to the guidance counsellor's office!
You'd better be ready!
I have something to tell you. Meet me after school under the 100 yr old Sakura tree
Those guys again...
You are Juuzawa Juu-sama, are you not?
Yeah, that's me.
I've been waiting for you.
Is that so?
I wanted to meet with you.
Look, what do you-
My body is thy possession.
My heart is thy slave.
My Lord, Juuzawa Juu-sama...
I do pledge my eternal allegiance to thee.
W-What are you...!?
I am Juu-sama's servant.
My "servant"?
What do you mean, "servant"?
One who acts solely for Juu-sama's sake.
What kinds of acts?
Anything you command.
Anything...?
You...
Anything.
If it is what Juu-sama desires.
Ah, Juu-sama!
Everyone hides his or her true nature
The moment each one is stripped bare
P-Please, spare me!
I'm begging you!
What will he show me?
You!
So this is where you went?
Why are you following me around!?
I am your servant, as well as your knight.
It is only natural for me to be by your side.
Shit!
Juu-sama...
Juu-kun!
You forgot, didn't you?
You're on cleaning duty today.
I had to do it instead of you.
Y-Yeah...
Sorry about that.
You owe me one, you hear?
I know...
If you take me out sometime, I'll forgive you!
Why do I have to do that?
Because it's been scary lately.
They say a serial killer is on the loose and stuff.
Incidents like that...
...aren't even that weird, are they?
If every little scoop ends up scaring you, you'll never be able to leave the house.
You're so heartless.
Are you a tsundere or something, Juu-kun?
Who are you calling a tsundere?
Geez, you always move at your own pace, Juu-kun.
You're the one moving at your own pace, always butting in.
You're so dense, Juu-kun!
Huh?
It's still not enough...
It still... hasn't reached him yet...
Juu-kun!
You brought another manly packed lunch?
Huh?
I'll take a pickled daikon radish!
Hey! Don't just take my side dish like that!
This takutan is pretty good.
I like the crunchy sound it makes.
In return, I present to you Satsuki Miya's special mini-hamburger steak.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about how much I like pickled vegetables!
Hold it right there, Juuzawa Juu!
Do you think you can just skip out on your cleaning duties like that?
Fujishima-san, I'll do it instead. Can you please overlook it this time?
That's not the problem!
Wait, please.
Are you an enemy of Juu-sama?
"Sama"?
"Enemy"?
What on Earth are you talking about?
Answer me, or else.
You...
If you are an enemy of Juu-sama, then I will eliminate you.
Juu-sama's enemy is my enemy.
The reason is because...
...Juu-sama and I are connected by a strong bond from our previous lives that-
Enough already!
Why are you following me around?
Because Juu-sama is my master.
Okay, then.
Let's try a slightly more normal approach.
Okay.
What's your name?
Oh.
I'm sorry. I forgot to mention it.
In my present life,
Sakuragiri Private High School
Student Identification
General Education Curriculum
Year 2 Class 1
Registration No. 40327566
Name Ochibana Ame
Valid until 2010 March 31
I go by the name of Ochibana Ame.
What do you mean by "present life"?
Exactly as it implies.
It is my name in this present life.
Explain to me why you keep following me around...
...in a way that I'll be able to understand.
If you can't do this, then don't bother showing up again.
Understood.
Thus ends my explanation.
So, some thousand years ago, I was the king of this Lemu-whatever continent.
With you as my loyal subject,
we lived a life full of ups and downs.
In short, that is correct.
I get it.
You're weird.
Is that so?
During our previous lives, you would always criticise my sense of humour as being lacking.
That's not what I meant!
I'm saying you're insane!
Don't involve me in your nonsensical delusions!
Could it be that your memories have not yet returned, Juu-sama?
Those memories never existed in the first place!
How shocking...
Perhaps it is due to some conspiracy-
Enough of that already!
Kings, swords, magic?
Don't drag me into your lunacy!
Coming up on the news: A follow-up report on the serial killer.
Over the past few months, this killer has claimed the lives of eleven victims.
The latest incident occurring just last night.
The victim's name is Shirota Eri-san.
Shirota-san was assaulted on her way home from work.
After her entire body had been beaten with a baseball bat,
she was strangled to death with some sort of wire.
The police believe that this spate of murders-
Mum...
Huh?
Good evening, Juu-sama.
I'm sorry to intrude into your residence so late at night.
H-How did you get in here?
The window was open, so I let myself in.
You...!
Don't tell me you used the construction scaffolding to...?
Yes.
I sensed that Juu-sama was calling for me, so I came immediately.
I didn't call for you!
Perhaps it was telepathy?
More like a hallucination!
It was the bond from our previous lives.
It's a delusion!
Casing my place, and then just breaking in without a second thought!
Get out of here, right now!
Are you always by yourself in this house, Juu-sama?
What about it?
Your parents' whereabouts...
None of your business!
Yeah, I live by myself!
But I don't need any sympathy!
Don't you dare!
I'm not so weak as to require the pity of others!
I know.
Juu-sama is not weak.
That is why you do not fear solitude.
Please believe me.
As long as I am here, I will not allow you to be lonely again.
I shall eliminate all of your enemies.
Because I exist only for you.
Get out.
Get out of here, right now!
Understood.
What the hell?
F-Fujishima...
Fujishima?
It appears to be the work of the serial killer, does it not?
You!
This was dropped in the vicinity.
Ochibana Ame...
Were you the one who did it?
Were you the one who killed Fujishima Kanako?
I did not kill her.
Is that the truth?
That was a rather lengthy pause.
That was because it was an unexpected question.
I was a bit surprised.
What was unexpected?
The fact that I suspect you?
The fact that you are investigating Fujishima Kanako's death-
You saw it too, didn't you?
She...
I just can't forgive irresponsible people like you!
I'll be fine even if you don't forgive me.
Don't quibble!!
Juuzawa, do you have a dream?
What are your plans for the future?
Nothing in particular.
I have a dream.
I...
She...
...said she wanted to become a translator.
Juu-sama,
you wish to know the reason why she was killed, do you not?
Yeah.
In that case, will you come to my house?
There is something I wish to show you.
Hey. Why did the culprit want to become a serial killer?
Being killed for no reason... Nobody would be happy dying like that.
I believe a reason exists.
A reason why the victims were killed?
No, a reason for the culprit to kill.
Really?
I just figured the serial killer was taking his anger out on others.
There are times when such people get angry for no reason and then take it out on others, right?
Even assuming that were true,
it would mean that the culprit feels anger without reason...
...and indiscriminately chooses his victims.
To continuously commit these acts over and over...
...would still impose a great deal of stress on the culprit's mental state.
So that's why you think there's a reason?
Most likely, there is something that causes the culprit to become numb to the stress of murder.
So the culprit is mentally unstable?
Even the mentally unstable have their own rules.
There is no such thing as complete irrationality.
Then, what do you think of the culprit?
Someone with a sense of purpose, perhaps.
Like, for example,
someone who thinks she's a knight in service to her king?
No?
I cannot deny that possibility.
However...
However?
There may be more than one culprit.
This is it.
You...!
This is an image of one of the serial killer's victims from two weeks ago.
Why do you have something like this here?
I found it on the net.
On a certain image board.
The method of killing shows that the main culprit is undeniably male.
However, the thing to note is the wire.
Killing someone with a wire is somewhat different from simply beating them to death.
It feels as though the culprit was ensuring that the victim was completely dead.
You were also taken in for questioning concerning Fujishima's death, right?
Did you tell them about this?
No.
The police cannot be relied upon from the outset.
Why is that?
The Daruma Murder
Because there are too many incidents.
Home Delivery
Kidnapping & Murder
The number of vicious crimes that remain unsolved...
It's too high to count.
Serial Murders of the Homeless
What a horrible world.
The Eye gouger

Do you intend to capture the culprit, Juu-sama?
No, I don't.
I am relieved to hear that.
Yeah.
In that case...
It will be fine if you see this, right?
Shit!
It finally reached him...
Do you intend to capture the culprit, Juu-sama?
Yeah, I do.
She's meeting up with someone?
Who?
There may be more than one culprit.
Could it be...?
Girls...?
Judgement!
You heathen!
Delinquent!
Brute!
Pervert!
Bird-brain!
Shredded natto!
If you didn't exist, Onee-chan wouldn't be having those weird fantasies!
Are you... that girl's little sister?
Even though she's always been the daydreaming type,
she's become even worse ever since she started talking about you!
It's all your fault!
Listen up.
It's not as if I'm playing along with her delusions,
nor do I have any desire to take advantage of her.
Then why were you over at my house?
That's because...
Hey.
Ame's little sister.
My name's Hikaru.
Hikaru.
Do you know why she picked me as the object of her fantasy?
Wait. You don't know?
I see now.
If you haven't even realised that, then there's no way you'd try to take advantage of her.
If you lay a single finger on Onee-chan,
I'll chant Buddhist prayers until you've disembowelled yourself!
I'm going to be late for practise!
I didn't get that at all.
Her little sister and her friends...
It's all rather anticlimactic.
An accomplice, huh?
Even if they're girls, perhaps with three...
Either way, if I can't catch them red-handed...
But when?
When will the culprit strike next?
Even the mentally unstable have their own rules.
Rules...

Hello?

Hey, what did you say?
The park...
The park?
Public Park
If you should meet a molester scream out loud!
Hey, you!
What are you doing here?
I'm an undercover government operative.
I've just disposed of a dimension shifting alien that had been posing as a human.
You're one of his allies, aren't you?
It seems you came to save him.
But it looks like you're out of luck.
Stay still, and...
...accept your demise!
Are you serious?
Hey, you.
You've killed a lot of people, haven't you?
Do you understand what it means for people to die?
Of course I do.
It's my mission to dispose of all of you.
In the name of justice,
and for the sake of all mankind.
Then let me ask you one thing.
Do you know someone by the name of Ochibana Ame?
Who's that?
Another one of your allies?
You said you were an undercover government operative, right?
Then, I suppose I should also reveal my true identity.
Actually, I was a king in my previous life.
Poor you.
You're insane, aren't you?
Everyone in this world is insane.
It's because they're insane that they don't notice...
...how twisted this world really is!
Resistance is futile.
I'll put an end to this.
Y-You...
Juu-sama, are you all right?
What are you doing here?
How did you know I was here?
The bond from our previous lives.
I see.
So, you followed me today?
Yes, because I believed the possibility was high.
I see.
So it was related to rainy days.
That's why on that day...
No, it was the possibility of precipitation, to be precise.
All of the crimes had occurred on days when the chance of precipitation exceeded fifty percent.
What, how did you-
Although this is only speculation,
it is possible that he only operates when he has a justification for his actions.
He interprets the chance of rain as a signal,
and only kills on days where the chance exceeds fifty percent.
I'm sorry.
I'd suspected you all along.
I thought that perhaps you were the serial killer.
You can hate me or curse me.
I'll understand if you want to hit me, as well.
I do not believe I have a reason to be mad at Juu-sama.
But...
You.
Hit me.
Is that an order?
It's an order.
In that case, please excuse me.
I won't presume to think that this makes us even, nor will I ask for your forgiveness.
However, if there's any way I can make up for it, please tell me.
There is nothing to make up for...
Tell me your wish, or something!
This is an order!
Yes!
I only have one wish.
Please allow me to remain at your side.
Do as you like.

Thanks to that...
Anyway, what's up?
What did you call me out here for?
Well...
There's something I want to ask you, Juu-kun...
...or want to tell you, maybe...
Juu-kun...
...do you like me?
Uh, well...
Or maybe... you hate me?
Well, I...
It looks like the drug has finally taken effect.
Now then...
Hey, Juu-kun...
Look this way.
Hey, did I break your right arm properly?
If not, then I'll have to do it once more!
You can still move?
Then, one more time!
Oh?
You can still move?
That's amazing.
Once more!
Hmm...
Next, I'll need to break your legs, too.
The bones are thick, so it's going to be troublesome!
Here goes!
Did it break, I wonder?
Did it really break?
Y-You...
Why...?
Why!?
Juu-kun.
The most wonderful person here right now...
...is none other than me.
I'm the greatest!
That's why you mustn't defy me.
Understood?
Now, then...
I'd already decided on what to talk about,
but now that the time has actually come, it seems that things just aren't going my way.
I'll explain things chronologically,
so that you can understand.
When I was a first-year student in middle school,
I was raped...
...by Onii-san.
Although I say that, he wasn't my real brother.
He was the guy next door.
His name was Kakura Kiyoshi...
You recognise that name, don't you?
He always treated me nicely, so I'd ask him for advice about my problems.
And then, one day,
I was raped.
Did you know? Onii-san really hates reflections and regrets.
He forgets everything, no matter how unpleasant.
Even though he was the one who made a complete mess of me,
he comforted me with platitudes like, "Poor thing," and, "Who on Earth did this to you?"
Isn't that weird?
I thought it was weird as well.
So, I started to laugh.
The incidents began...
...at the start of the year, I suppose.
There was an incident where a middle school girl was murdered.
Afterwards, Onii-san proudly told me,
"The one who exterminated that thing was I."
"I'm actually a secret government operative," he said.
I then immediately realised what Onii-san had done.
Of course, I considered stopping him,
to inform the police at the scene of the crime.
But then...
Something unusual happened.
You see, at that moment One's true nature surfaces
When I saw that,
I felt my spine tingle...
Before I knew it, I was taking picture after picture.
Tons of pictures... Until my camera was completely full!
Fujishima-san's pictures were so much fun to take!
She had the greatest expression on her face.
So, I leaked the images on the net.
Everyone was delighted!
Deep inside the heart There is a desire to see those sorts of things
But sometimes, Onii-san didn't finish the job.
That's when I began to apply the finishing blow.
Using a wire, and pulling tightly...
And then, sometimes he'd talk about stopping his mission half-way,
so I had no choice but to think of something that would make him continue killing.
The weather...
Amazing!
Juu-kun, you knew!
Yes, I was the one who thought that up,
in order for Onii-san to believe that it was his mission to kill.
I guess it's about time we got started, then.
That's no good!
You have to properly show me your face.
Otherwise, I can't get any good pictures.
Hey, hey.
Look at me.
Show me your face.
Yep! You're exactly as I expected!
You're great!
I was right about you!
About me?
Yep.
The first time I saw you, I thought you were amazing.
You'd always deal on your own, and you'd always act like nothing happened afterwards.
You were like a king.
That's why I wanted to see...
...your true nature.
Bewildered by the reality set before your eyes...
At a loss about what you should do...
I was sure you'd show me something incredible!
Juu-kun
Call in Progress
I even abandoned Onii-san for the sake of these pictures!
So, show me your best expression, okay?
Hmm?
You seem like you want to say something.
It's all right.
I won't hit you, so feel free to speak.
You idiot...
Why didn't you ever say anything!?
Just stop it.
Even if I had told you, nothing would have come of it.
Don't just give up like that!
If you don't try, you'll never know!
Then, would it have been better if I had asked to be saved?
Of course!
Everyone would have felt sorry for you.
Such people have the right to be saved!
I'm not a king or anything.
I'm weak.
I'm afraid of being lonely...
You can't!
...and of hardship and pain, too.
You can't say such things, Juu-kun!
I don't want to die like this.
That's not like you at all!
I'm pathetic, and I'll repeat that as many times as you'd like.
I'm afraid!
I'm lonely!
I don't want to die!
Somebody, save me!
Understood, Juu-sama.
Why, you!
I apologise for not arriving sooner.
It's amazing how you knew that I was here.
It was the bond from our previous lives.
I didn't expect you to carry around something like that.
I asked a friend who's knowledgeable about these things to give it to me,
in order to protect you.
Why did you interfere?
I was going to end it all with Juu-kun.
It's such a waste!
I am Juu-sama's knight.
It is only natural that I save him from such peril.
I've thought this before, but...
...you're weird, Ochibana-san.
It's as if electromagnetic waves are affecting your brain.
You're insane!
You are not so different yourself.
I was grouped together with you!
Satsuki Miya, I will eliminate you.
The one who will be eliminated is you!
Ame...!
Juu-sama!
Do you feel a little better now?
Juu-kun...
You idiot.
No...
This isn't...
No, Juu-kun, this isn't...
Believe me, I just... I just... really-
Juu-sama!
You mustn't die!
Not after we've finally met!
Not after we've said we'd be together from now on!
Juu-sama!
Please don't die!
I don't want you to die!
Juu-sama!
You can't die!
Hey, Ame.
Clear days or rainy days, which do you prefer?
In the past, I liked rainy days.
I felt as if they were especially for me.
But...
...I was mistaken.
When I realised that those misplaced feeling of happiness...
...were destined to just disappear,
I felt like crying.
That is why, rainy days are...
...somewhat complicated for me.
Hey.
Ochibana Ame.
Do you still consider me your master?
Of course.
Even though I pathetically begged for my life...
...and needed you to save me...
Even so?
Naturally.
That is the reason why I am here.
You're a fool.
What fun is there in being with someone like me?
Various reasons.
Oh well.
I don't mind you sticking with me until you've had enough,
and I'll accompany you until you've had enough, as well.
Yes.
So, where are we headed?
Huh?
I'm free today, so let's go somewhere you want to go.
Do you have a place in mind?
Oh, no...
Please do not worry about me.
It's fine.
Go on. Say it.
Um, okay...
We could go to Shibuya...
You want to go look at some clothes?
Well...
...there is a second-hand book shop there...
...that carries manga and stuff...
Okay.
I'll come with you.
