03x155 - Mitsuki's Rainy Day

[bunniefuu]

Mikazuki!

What are you doing here?

Hey, is this your cat?

Who are you?

Are you awake?

What's going on?

Are you a Medical Ninja or something?

No, but I know emergency first aid.

Looks like I owe you one.

You can thank Mikazuki who found you.

Mikazuki?

Hm?

I see!

So, this guy's name is Mikazuki.

Thanks, little guy!

My name is Samidare.

I'm Mitsuki.

I'll bring you something to warm you up.

Aren't you gonna ask?

Why I was lying wounded back there?

I really don't care either way.

Or, did you want me to ask?

You're a weird guy!

Mitsuki's Rainy Day

I'm back.

Your wound's okay now?

Yeah, well…

I feel bad inconveniencing you.

I don't mind if you're here.

Do you have a place to go?

I came to this village to see my little sister.

Your little sister?

Yeah.

She works for a company here.

I hate sounding like a proud big brother,

but she's really got her stuff together.

Oh.

C'mon!

What's with that bored look on your face?

That's not it!

I have a really close friend who has a soft spot for his little sister.

I don't have any,

but it seems little sisters are very dear to their big brothers.

Well, yeah.

But I'm a horrible and heartless big brother.

I made excuses and said I had a lot work.

I never even bothered to visit my sister after she moved here, until now.

Oh.

But you're here now.

I was a little too late though.

Oh yeah!

You saved me from becoming even more heartless…

So, I want to show you my gratitude.

It's okay, don't worry about it.

Not you!

I meant Mikazuki.

PET SHOP THE CAT'S PAWS

PET SHOP THE CAT'S PAWS Thank you very much!

There you go!

A bell?

It looks good on you!

Now it'll be easy to know where you are, right?

But it's not like Mikazuki is my cat.

What are you saying?

Mikazuki's so attached to you.

To you as well, it seems.

Huh?

Are you thanking me for the collar?

You have a strong sense of duty for a cat.

There, there!

There, there!

You have a way with cats. Do you have one?

No, my little sister did.

I was shocked when I heard the name.

My little sister's name is Mikazuki.

Wow, what a coincidence!

Imagine the look on her face when she finds out!

Yeah, you're right.

I think she woulda gotten a kick outta that.

Hey!

Mitsuki!

Anyway, take care…

Mitsuki and Mikazuki.

Who was that just now?

I just met him the other day.

He's a friend of mine and Mikazuki's,

and he's Mikazuki's older brother.

Mikazuki's…

…older brother?!

Never mind that. We've been summoned!

Okay!

LEAF POLICE FORCE

LEAF POLICE FORCE A security mission?

Yes.

We're to guard Mr. Kaneki the president of The Kaneki Corporation.

They're a chemical company on par with the Kaminarimon Company, right?

BE ON ALERT According to our investigation, the likelihood is very high

BE ON ALERT that he's the next target of the “Rainy Day k*ller.”

The Rainy Day k*ller?

The guy who's always on the news these days?

BE ON ALERT That's the alias of the serial k*ller

BE ON ALERT that we're pursuing with our reputation at stake!

Oh, right.

Their crimes are always committed on rainy days.

Hence, the nickname.

All of his victims were stabbed with something thin and sharp.

The m*rder w*apon is still a mystery.

There's a high probability that the perpetrator is a shinobi.

But, I understand the ages and occupations of the three victims are all different…

During our investigations, we uncovered an unusual commonality.

Two years ago,

there was an expl*si*n at the Kaneki Corporation's chemical plant

that caused some serious damage.

Don't tell me, the m*rder victims were all connected to that incident?!

Yes. They were all connected to that project

or were involved in the investigation into the accident.

But why were they targeted by the Rainy Day k*ller?

We don't know.

However, only survivor connected to that incident is President Kaneki.

So that's why the chances are high that he's the next target.

We'll catch the Rainy Day k*ller, ya know!

BE ON ALERT

BE ON ALERT I'm heading to Kaneki's residence right now.

BE ON ALERT I want you to come with me.

Yes, sir!

What do you mean you don't need a security detail?

Why would I be targeted by the Rainy Day k*ller?

I have no recollection of anything remotely related to that!

Leave immediately!

I have no need of your guards!

In the event that something happens, my own bodyguards will suffice!

Please excuse me.

Mr. Kotaro really knows what he's doing, leaving us here to secretly guard him.

Will you please be serious?!

President Kaneki's attitude is suspicious.

But right now, protecting him from the Rainy Day k*ller is our top priority.

Mr. Kotaro said it himself.

I know that.

Since we've been given the responsibility, I'm not gonna let anyone else get hurt.

Rain.

Hey, you think the perp is gonna show up?

I don't know.

But if he still tries, despite all this security…

Yeah.

It means the perp's determined to get his target at any cost.

There!

Who goes there?!

Halt!

What's wrong?!

Wh-Who are you?!

Impossible! Impossible! Are you—?!

That's as far as you'll go.

Hey stop!

I got this!

Be careful!

Multiple Striking Shadow Snakes!

What was that jutsu just now?

I didn't see anything.

Sorry, he got away.

He was able to evade you?

Who is he anyway?

Well, at least we were able to protect the president.

Still, after all that talk about not knowing anything,

Kaneki ended up being the target!

Were you able to see your little sister?

Huh?

Yeah kinda, but she yelled at me.

After not showing up for so long…

She asked me what the hell I was doing here.

You're a ninja, aren't you?

And a formidable one at that.

I was, but I quit.

I worked obediently like a dog for years,

but now… I live carefree like a cat.

SERIAL m*rder TERROR: THE RAINY DAY k*ller STILL AT LARGE Next on the news…

SERIAL m*rder TERROR: THE RAINY DAY k*ller STILL AT LARGE Regarding the serial murders…

SERIAL m*rder TERROR: THE RAINY DAY k*ller STILL AT LARGE President Kaneki of the Kaneki Corporation

– What troubling times we live in. – was att*cked by an assailant yesterday.

I agree.

– By the way, – Luckily, he only suffered minor injuries,

– what was your specialty jutsu – but the suspect got away.

– when you were a ninja? – It could not be verified

– Why do you ask? – if it was, in fact, the Rainy Day k*ller.

Just curious.

Mikazuki!

Oh, what's the matter, Mikazuki?

Are you hungry?

Hey, so why did you quit being a ninja?

What's up?

I thought you weren't interested in personal stuff?

Oh!

You're right.

I wasn't there for my family when they needed me the most.

That's why I came here.

Even though it's too little, too late.

President Kaneki agreed to let us guard him.

Well, after getting att*cked like that, it's obvious.

But why did the perpetrator try to take President Kaneki with him?

Huh?

Until now, all the victims were k*lled on the spot, right?

That's a mystery, for sure.

Speaking of mystery…

You saw the perp's jutsu, didn't you, Mitsuki?

Yes, but I couldn't identify it.

Unexplained actions… and an unidentifiable jutsu…

I'm totally lost.

But this all started with the factory expl*si*n two years ago.

That's irrefutable, correct?

It's certain that President Kaneki is hiding something.

By the way, what caused the accident?

It was a lack of oversight

by the project developer who passed away in the accident.

Do you have the records on everyone involved?

Yes, here you go.

This is…

Bad news!

Mr. Kaneki is missing!

What?!

The perp disguised himself as a member of the Police Force

and escaped after knocking out two guards.

He tricked us into thinking that his M.O. was only attacking during rain!

Split up and search!

Yes, sir!

Let's go too.

Yeah!

Could it be?

Oh, you're awake.

I made up my mind to k*ll you here at this gravesite.

MIKAZUKI AMAASHI

How are you connected to that developer?

You started panicking that a rival company would surpass you…

Without taking the risks into account,

you pushed ahead with that dangerous project.

Resulting in that tragedy.

The dead tell no tales.

She lies in a cold grave because of you.

She was blamed for everything and her reputation was ruined.

While you just gained wealth and fame.

That just doesn't add up, don't you think?

F-F-Forgive—!

Don't ask me for forgiveness!

Ask Mikazuki!

Your younger sister is buried there, right?

Yeah. I'm impressed you found me here.

It's because I found the name Mikazuki in the records.

I looked up the location of her grave and came here.

I learned of her death quite sometime later.

All I thought about was my missions.

I'm a terrible big brother.

That's why I just wanted to relieve any regrets she might have had.

By k*lling off those who ruined your sister's reputation?

You probably won't believe me, but I wasn't gonna k*ll them at first.

I just wanted to know the truth.

Mikazuki wasn't the kind of person to move forward with risky experiments.

Once I uncovered the truth…

Not one of them felt any guilt about what happened to my little sister.

They just made excuses, begged for their lives,

and made reckless remarks.

They slandered the dead.

That's why you k*lled them?

Yeah, I k*lled them.

And when I k*ll him, it will all be over.

Listen, Mitsuki

You're not a target, so I don't want you to get involved in all of this.

I wish you wouldn't interfere.

I'm a Hidden Leaf Shinobi, so…

I can't let you do it.

I see.

It seems to me like you're in a dilemma.

What did you say?

You must have known that I was a Leaf Shinobi.

But you didn't keep your sister's name a secret.

If you were really determined to go through with revenge,

a mistake like that is unthinkable.

Your injury from that time we first met…

If you sustained it from your third victim…

Perhaps, your hesitation grew,

and you allowed your foe to counterattack.

Also, the fact that I'm here right now—

You're making too much out of nothing.

I have the confidence to k*ll you now, if I have to.

That's all.

You won't be able to see through my jutsu.

MIKAZUKI AMAASHI

Water Style: Needles of Falling Rain!

Lightning Style: Snake Lightning…

MIKAZUKI AMAASHI

You saw through it…

You know what my jutsu's about.

You infuse ultra-thin Chakra Needles into the falling rain and make them drop.

I surmised that since you att*cked in the rain,

you used a jutsu that took advantage of it.

And I was able to ward it off because I could sense your doubts.

My wound was just hurting me.

I was seriously trying to k*ll you too, for my sister's sake.

I'm sorry.

Give Mikazuki…

my best…

I won't let you die.

Mitsuki's not here yet?

No.

He's probably making a stop there first.

I see.

They were able to save his life…
