MOSH PIT

What? What are these guys doing here?

[gasps] Huh?

En?

-[all gasping, murmuring]
-There's no way. You're still alive?

You pieces of sh*t,
don't play dumb with us!

We know you're the ones who k*lled En.
You've got his head somewhere, don't you!?

En is still dead. This is just a doll.

A tool that's leading us
to the location of his body.

[gasps]

I see! So the head is in this room.

I wonder if we'll find
the Cross-Eyes' boss inside with it?

[fearful whimpering]

Well, anyway,
as a cleaner of the En Family,

it will be my pleasure

to k*ll you all!

-[screaming]
-[grunts]

Doku--

-[muffled groan]
-[Noi grunting, yell]

[muffled gasping]

[Noi laughing]

[pained grunt]

[coughing, spluttering]

Ton!

She never learns.

I told Noi a thousand times
she has to be careful of their attacks.

-[growling]
-He's using Magic!

Not if I can seal it off!

[Shin grunts]

Turns out dodging is a lot easier
if I know where you're aiming.

[gasps]

[gasping weakly]

[pained grunting]

[grunts angrily]

[yells ferociously]

-[Natsuki yelps]
-Hurry, get in there and hide!

-[Saji] Hey, Ton!
-One more time!

[Shin] Idiots.

[suspenseful music building]

[Ushishimada] Ton! Saji!

[squeaking]

[Ushishimada growling]

--[Noi grunts]
-[pained grunt, struggling]

You already healed? You demon!

[Natsuki] Ushishimada!

[Ushishimada] Natsuki, go on ahead.
[struggling] Get the boss-

[strangled gagging]

Hurry…

[Natsuki] All right.

[Shin] Noi, I'll leave the rest to you.
I'll go after the doll.

[Noi] Roger that!

[Shin] Put the dismembered ones in a bag.

-[elevator dings]
-[Shin] Huh?

Hm?

[labored breathing]

There's no one here.

Did he leave?

[uneasy music playing]

Oh, En…

[gasps] What's this?

There's a hole in his head.

[gasps, grunts]

[dramatic music playing]

[Shin grunts]

[both grunting]

[blowing slowly]

[pained groaning]

[Shin struggling]

[metal shattering]

[Dokuga grunts]

[grunting]

[Shin yells painfully]

[Dokuga gasps]

[gasps]

[labored breathing]

[groans softly]

[Shin chuckling]

Well now, aren't you a hard worker?

[Dokuga yells angrily, grunts]

[Shin grunts]

Oh, come on, don't stop now!

[Shin grunts loudly]

[grunts, labored breathing]

Your attacks are slowing down.

So why don't we finish this?

[ragged breathing]

[Tetsujo] Dokuga!

Use this!

-Huh?
-[gasps]

[screaming ferociously]

[Shin] I said let's finish this.

[Dokuga, weakly] Boss…

These guys never know when to give up.

Dokuga!

[Natsuki] Huh?

Oh no. I hope they're okay.

I need to find the boss as soon as I can!

[tense music playing]

[footsteps echoing]

Is… is that… the boss?

Huh? En?!

[pained groaning]

Hey! Knock it off!

[doll body thuds]

[whispy sizzling]

[gasps] So much blood! What should I do?

Huh?

It almost looks as though

this guy did surgery on himself!

[hesitating] What should I do?

Because at this rate…

[chittering]

[Kasukabe] Haru, are you certain

you can figure out
where Shin and the others are?

[demonic voice] Yeah, easy-peasy.

In fact, it's boring.
I couldn't care less about this.

Here we are.

[Kasukabe] So the leader of the Cross-Eyes
is just inside…

Ai, is it you?

HEALING A+

[Natsuki whimpering]

The crosses in his eyes…

They're not tattoos like ours are.

They're like birthmarks.

[squelching]

[gasps fearfully]

Uh, hello!

Hi there, my name is Natsuki.

It's nice to finally meet…

[fearful wail]

[gruff voice] My name is…

[Natsuki whimpering]

…Kai.

[Noi grunts]

-Hey, Noi, are you done over there?
-[Noi sighs]

Yeah, I'm all done!

This one wasn't dismembered,
so I just put him directly in a bag.

[Shin] Mm, I guess that's fine.

[Noi] Shin… [chuckles]
…we're really not gonna k*ll these guys?

[Shin] We can k*ll them anytime.

But there are many things
I want to ask them first

By the way, where's the doll?

[Noi gasps]

This is… like six years ago.

This feeling, it's like…

it's like the Hole's…

Huh? What?!

Is this smoke? [grunts]

[Shin gasping]

It's impossible!

[Noi] This is En's…

[wheezy gasping]

[Noi and Shin gasping weakly]

[daunting music playing]

[mirthful growling]

[gasping weakly] You… But you're…

No way…

It can't be.

[gasping]

[monstrous breathing]

[muffled screaming]

-[monstrous breathing]
-[Noi's muffled screams continue]

[Kai gasps]

[confused gasping]

[Curse] I found you.

[elevator dings]

[Kasukabe] Wow, this place is a mess.

-[Haru] Ah!
-[Kasukabe yelps]

What is it, Haru?

[Haru] I just had a great idea for a song.
Wanna hear it?

[Kasukabe] Right now?

[Curse] You took my life away,
now I will take everything from you.

And this time, nothing will stop me.

-[demonic singing in distance]
-[Curse screams]

BLOOD DRIPPING ON THE WALL SO DIRTY

I THIS RUN-DOWN BUILDING
WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE?

[Kasukabe] You know, next time,
you can just read me the lyrics!

[Risu gasping]

A devil's song!

[screaming]

[Haru] Huh?

What's wrong, Hayes? Did you fall asleep?

[Jonson] Shocking…

[Haru] Let's go home, then.

-[uneasy music playing]
-[pained grunting]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[Dokuga] Huh?

[dramatic music playing]

[Dokuga] B… Boss?

[all gasping]

[Dokuga] Take this…

One month later,

the En Family was destroyed.

[frantic electronic music playing]

[lyrics in Japanese]

THE BEGINNING

[music fades]

CROSS-EYES IN THE NEWS

SHOCK OF EN FAMILY FALL

[Tanba] Fukuyama!

[Fukuyama] "One month after En's m*rder,

the Cross-Eyes have occupied
his enormous mansion."

"And the En family
have since rapidly declined

after losing their powerful boss."

"Members of the household,
including the servants,

have fled for their lives."

-[grunts] Go back to work, you idiot!
-[pained gasp]

But, boss,
aren't you just a little bit curious?

I mean, it really wasn't that long ago
that we were selling pie at that place.

That only makes it more upsetting!

Right when our wagon business
was going so well…

Speaking of the Cross-Eyes,

I wonder what ever happened to Caiman.

[groans]

Well, knowing him,
he's probably alive somewhere.

[intriguing music playing]

-[Natsuki] Oh, Dokuga, hi!
-Hmm?

What are you doing
tucked away in that corner?

I brought all the stuff
the boss asked me to bring to him,

but he won't let me in.

Huh? The boss is in this room?!

[Dokuga] Yeah.

We're not supposed to disturb the boss
when he's doing something alone.

What's all this, Natsuki?

[Natsuki] Take a look!

Saji asked me to gather up
all the valuables in the mansion.

But there's still a lot left.

-There's that many?
-You know what this means?

The Cross-Eyes are super rich now.
We're rich!

We're rich?

-[Ushishimada] Hey, Dokuga!
-Hmm?

I got a special delivery!

Seriously, this mansion is way too big.
We're gonna need a map.

Ushishimada, Saji,
are you done cleaning yet?

[Ushishimada] Not at all.

[Saji] There are still bodies
of En's underlings

lying around all over the place.

When we took over,
a bunch of them tried to resist.

Ooh, what's inside this box?

-Nothing much. Come see for yourself.
-[Natsuki] Ooh!

I've been double-checking each
of the bodies we've been picking up,

but I didn't see
any of the so-called officers.

Also the two Cleaners are missing as well.

Our boss is invincible.

It's not a big deal.

[Natsuki] Oh, yeah!
I found something amazing, you guys!

It's in that room.

[exciting music playing]

Gold ingots!

Huh? What gives?
You don't seem to care that much.

Hey, hey, I found something amazing!

[door opening]

A huge stockpile of daily necessities!

-[gasps]
-No way!

Oh wow. We're so rich.

Come on!
This is what you're excited about?

Huh? The hell is that?

That's the door. It leads to the Hole.

It's for anyone
who can't create a door with Magic.

[Ushishimada] So this is it…

[music fades]

MUSHROOM

Mushrooms!

-[gasps]
-[clock En] Mushrooms!

[Dokuga] Oh, It's morning.

-Mushrooms! Mushrooms!
-[Dokuga] That damn clock.

-Mushrooms! Mushrooms!
-It's so annoying.

Although, I just can't throw away
something that still works.

[Tetsujo] Dokuga! We have an emergency!

-Come to the mansion gate right now!
-[clamoring]

Let me in!

Let me see the boss!

[Saji] You've gotta be kidding?
Now they come?

[Ushishimada] What a bunch
of opportunists.

Anyway, we have to consult the boss.

That's what I thought.

Only when I went to tell him,

he was gone.

Huh? Not again?!

You're kidding me!

Boss…

[reporter] A crowd of people
with little or no Magic ability

have started to form outside En's mansion,

What is the Cross-Eyes' goal?

And what is the identity
of the Cross-Eyes' boss?

[slurping]

[satisfied sigh]

Oh! This is ridiculous.

Bye, ma'am, I'll leave the money here.

[woman] Thank you!

[groans contentedly]

I've got nothing but free time.

I wonder if there's anything fun
to do around here. Something like…

Huh?

[bully 1] Come on, show us some Magic.

[boy] I, I can't. I can't use it.

Why not, huh?
You're a student there, aren't you?

Come on, use some Magic.

[boy] Please stop it.

Don't talk back, you piece of trash.

Guys like you are no better
than the people from the Hole.

Fine, then.

I'll use you to practice my-- [groaning]

-Huh? What the… Hey!
-[Aikawa] Hi-yah!

-[Aikawa yelling playfully]
-[screaming]

-[jaunty music playing]
-[Aikawa chuckling]

That was some good exercise
to help my digestion.

-Excuse me, you're Aikawa, right?
-Huh?

It's me! We were in the same class
at school in Zagan.

[Aikawa] Oh!

[boy] En shut that school down
a few years ago.

It was a hotbed for the black powder
the Cross-Eyes were selling.

[Aikawa] Hmm…

[boy] But a new school
was built recently.

It's really close by.

ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
FOR TRIAL ENROLMENT

-Did you submit your application?
-[Aikawa] Yeah.

Wow, this place is great! I love it.

[boy] I am worried though.

The Cross-Eyes will definitely
start selling black powder.

Just when people had finally
started practicing again

after it stopped circulating.

Even at school,
the Cross-Eyes are all anyone talks about.

Everyone seems pretty happy
that the En family was destroyed.

Oh, by the way, how's Risu doing?

[Aikawa] Hmm?

Hmm… I don't know.

Hey, Aikawa, I'll treat you
to something in the cafeteria.

Yippee!

[Aikawa humming happily]

-[gasps]
-[gasps]

[cook] Aikawa, you b*stard!

[Aikawa] They rehired
an old geezer like you?

Keep running! Stay away from this school!

Bye-bye! See you tomorrow!

[boy] See you tomorrow!

Do I have to keep this guy from eating all
the school's food for my entire career?

[Aikawa] All right, let's see.
What else should I do today?

It's been a while since I came here.

Risu. Hey, are you there?

-Huh?
-[door creaking]

[uneasy music playing]

[man] You better let us in!

[Natsuki] Ton, are we really going to let
those people join the Cross-Eyes?

Guess so.

[Natsuki] But aren't they just
after our money and stuff like that?

Probably.

But we can find a good use
for people like them.

We can pay them to work,

and control them
by making them fear the boss.

Still, if we let them into the mansion,

what's to stop a couple of them
from trying to assassinate the boss?

Don't worry, I have an idea for that.

[chuckles]

-I found this lying around the other day.
-[device whirring]

It was En's invention.
It's a portable Magic inspection device.

This thing can quantify
the level of Sorcerers.

We can check people
before they enter the mansion.

-To see whether they're assassins.
-Wow!

[giggling]

Come on Ton, check me, check me!

Why not?

But you might be disappointed.

[sloshing]

What is this black liquid?
No one's ever told me.

Back in the day, we'd always find
this stuff in the boss's room.

Speaking of,
where the hell has he gone to now?

Will he be away for a long time again?

He won't. It's different this time.

Hey, Dokuga.
Could you just tell me already?

What really happened
to the boss back then?

You have to promise not to tell them.

Uh, sure.

But why not?

[Dokuga] The boss found someone
with a special kind of Magic,

a Magic that he wanted.

Risu.

[Tetsujo] You mean, the Curse is… [gasps]

[Dokuga] Right.

Risu's magic is Curse-type,

And his Curse befalls
anyone who kills him.

-[tense music playing]
-The transaction's at four.

It'll be at the ruins
in the Salmanazar Plateau.

Is it all right
if I bring my partner along again?

He's not a member of the team,
but he's someone I trust.

[Tanabe] No, don't bring anyone.
You have to go alone this time.

[intriguing music playing]

Are you sure about this one?
'Cause I don't know.

[Tetsujo] That's Risu?
I've never seen him before.

You sure you can trust him?
It's an important deal, right?

It's fine.

Who's that guy with him?

He's Risu's partner. His name is Aikawa.

They always hang out together.

Aikawa…

After that, I think The Boss k*lled Risu
at the Salmanazar Plateau.

So the Boss k*lled Risu
and brought the curse on himself?

This is important!
How could you keep this from us?

I thought it was better
if everyone didn't know.

Otherwise,

we'd all know that the boss is willing
to k*ll his own people.

[Tetsujo gasps]

Hey, we still need the boss to survive,
though, don't you think?

Tetsujo.

[gasps]

Think about it.

In a way, now it's us who are using him.

[ominous music playing]

[Risu] Who k*lled me? Who?!

Why did you k*ll me?

[Curse] You are not a Sorcerer.

You are a fake.

[Risu] Why? Why was I k*lled?

[Curse] Why do you ask?
You should already know.

Who else knows about this Magic?

[Risu] No… that's impossible!

[Aikawa] Hey!

[Risu] I bought that machine
we were talking about.

The one that checks your Magic.

En's brand was selling it.

Anyway, I found out something amazing!

It's not confirmed yet,
but I have to tell somebody!

[Aikawa gasps]

Risu!

Risu, don't you recognize me?

It's Aikawa. Your partner, remember?

[Risu] I know, Aikawa. [grunts weakly]

There's no way I'd forget you.

[Aikawa] What the hell happened to you?

It must've been something terrible.

It's okay. I'm here for you.

Let's go back to school together.

What do you say?

[Risu] Hmm.

[Aikawa] All right, are you hungry?

I'll get you something to eat.

I'd like that, Aikawa.

[Aikawa] Don't mention it.

-[footsteps fading]
-[door opening]

Where am I?

[groans] What's going on?

I remember the Cross-Eyes…

[gasps] Hey, Shin! Shin, where--

-[Sho] You finally woke up, huh?
-Huh?

[Sho] It took you
an unusually long time to recover, Noi.

It's been a month since I found you.

[gasps] You… I can't believe it's…

-Wait, who are you again?
-[Sho] Huh? It's me!

I'm a member of the En family!

The sorcerer who can
make anything invisible!

-[dramatic music playing]
-I'm Sho!

Oh, you're Sho!

I went on a journey
straight after the Blue Night Festival.

But when I heard that En was dead,

I returned to the mansion in secret
and kept watch over all of you.

You stayed invisible with your Magic? Why?

Because it seemed like

everyone had completely forgotten
about me.

I used to work as an assassin
for the family,

but, maybe because of my Magic,
I have a weak presence.

En was pretty much the only person
who ever spared a thought for me.

I was at the Blue Night Festival,
remember?

Hmm?

Oh! Of course you were.

I definitely remember that.

You're the one who saved me. Great.

Now tell me what a happened to Shin!

Why don't we start with some clothes?

-Shin is, well…
-[gasps]

[Sho] He's probably already…

[Noi] Huh?

[uneasy music playing]

Poor Shin…

I tried using repair-type smoke,
anything to bring Shin back to normal,

but it took everything I had
just to keep the mushrooms fresh.

Huh? Noi!

Hold on! You're still recovering.

Besides, the Cross-Eyes boss's Magic
is different from En's.

Oh!

I'm not gonna let that b*stard win.

To hell with his Magic!

[air whooshing loudly]

[Sho gasps]

What incredible smoke density!

[suspenseful music building]

-[music fades]
-[blowing slows]

[Shin exhales slowly, gasps]

[gasping]

-Wh… what are you… [coughs]
-[uplifting music playing]

Shin, you're alive!

Thank goodness! I…

-I'm so glad! [sobbing]
-[Shin gasps]

[Shin, confused] Uh…

Thanks a lot, Noi.

[Sho] Wow…

They're already forgetting that I exist.

Maybe I should just disappear.

[music fades]

[Japanese theme song playing]

THE END

[narrator] What we learned in Episode 21.

When Shin gets serious,
he puts on his mask facing forward.

The Cross-Eyes got
their long-cherished wish.

Aikawa and Risu reunited.

What we're going to learn in Episode 22,
it's still lost in chaos.
