Naganogen
Hizukinuma plateau
The recently opened ski resort.
Lodge Owner: Ah, you're talking about Ian.
Lodge Owner: He is like a trouble-maker in our village
Lodge Owner: I'll warn you in advance...
Lodge Owner: But you're better off having nothing to do with him.
Lodge Owner: Customer.

Hizuka village.
It's setting is complety different from the more visible resort.
This old, small village in the mountains still retains its original shape.
But even now in this quiet village...
Came in men, mixed with tourists, who carry around an uneasy air about them.
Leader: It's been a week...
Leader: You still couldn't find them?!
Underling: Yes we looked around...
Underling: But not yet...
Ian: Uh!
Ian: What's wrong Pipi?
Ran: Um.
Ran: Um...
Ian: Oh.
Ian: You finally regained conciousness?
Page. 117
Ran: 'Silver.'
Ran: 'Silver...'
Ran: 'Platinum Blond?!'
Ran: Where is this?
Ian: It's alright
Ian: This is my house...
Ian: Your wounds were nothing to laugh at!
Ian: If you were a normal human, you would have been dead by now.
Ran: 'Normal...?'
Ian: Your brother was...
Ian: Discovered by tourists and he's in the village clinic.
Ran: 'A week?'
Ran: 'C, could it be during that time...'
Ran: You looked after me?
Ian: Hihi...
Masako: Stop kidding around,
Masako: Ian.
Page. 118
Masako: Don't worry.
Masako: I looked after you.
Masako: Commuting from village.
Ran: And Wataru is...
Masako: In our clinic.
Ran: Thank you.
Ran: I don't know how to repay you...
Masako: I'm Masako.
Ian: I'm Ian.
Ran: I'm Ran.
Ran: Komatsuzaki Ran.
Ian Podrovichi.
18 years old.
Russian.
10 years ago, he and his father left their county and settled here.
After his father passed away,
He lived alone as a hunter.
Masako: I brought some of my clothes.
Masako: Change into this.
Nishiwaki Masako.
The only daughter of the doctor who runs the clinic.
Page. 119
Ran: Are all these books his?
Masako: Hm?
Masako: He might not look it he is, but he studies hard.
Masako: He said he wants to be a doctor.
Ran: 'Is this a dream...'
Thanks to the nursing of these two people...
Ran wounds healed themselves.
But there was one nagging question.
Ran: 'Why haven't these two taken me to the clinic?'
Masako: Ian.
Masako: Please prepare dinner.
Ran: 'Although it might not have been a good idea since T.A.L.O.N. is looking for me...'
Masako: Kyaah!
Ian: Masako.
Ian: You alright?
Ran: ?
Page. 120
Ian: She's afraid of fire.
Ian: You can say it's a phobia.
Masako: Then I'll be leaving for now.
Masako: Uh, Pipi. You can't come with me.
Ran: Is that a snow hare?
Ran: It's December, but he still has brown-hair.
Ian: He is a strange one.
Ian: Probably, he was a white-haired snow hare.
Ian: That's why we can't let him out.
Ian: He will stand out in the snow.
Ran: 'He can't fit in with the snow around here...'
Ran: 'Brown-haired snow hare.'
Ian: I'll see her off.
Masako: See you later, Ran.
Ran: 'They like each other a lot.'
Ran: 'They seem happy.'
Page. 121
Ian: Did he find out?
Ian: Your father?
Ian: You came here everyday for a week now.
Ian: We might not be able to see each other a while.
Doctor: Masako!
Doctor: You said you're going to a part-time job...
Doctor: But you went to see him again!
Doctor: Of all the people, that demon...
Doctor: My daughter!
Doctor: Do you have any idea what you're doing Masako?!
Doctor: You're being fooled, Masako!
Page. 122
Ian: It's nothing.
Ian: You don't have to worry about it.
Ian: It's just burn marks.
Ian: Sometime ago, there was a mountain fire.
Ian: This is from back then.
Underling: I found Ran.
Underling: And for a moment I thought she was dead...
Underling: But she's in a place like this.
Leader: Khuhuhu...
Leader: So you found her?
Leader: 'Why don't you throw away the idea that you can escape from T.A.L.O.N.'s grasp, Ran...'
Leader: 'There is no place in the world where you can hide!'
Ian: Can you walk to the village?
Ian: Don't you want to see Wataru?
Ian: Should we go tomorrow?
Page. 123
Ran: ?!
Villagers: It's Ian...
Villagers: It's Ian.
The air surrounding the village...
Gave off a queer mood...
Villagers: 'It's Ian...'
Villagers: 'Son of a refugee.'
Villagers: 'Illegal alien.'
Villagers: 'The criminal who set the mountain on fire...'
Villagers: 'The platinum blood demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Ran: 'Refugee?'
Ran: 'Illegal alien?'
Ran: 'Ian started a mountain fire?'
Ran: 'Just what is going one?!'
Fright-. Contempt-. Hatred-.
Various emotions wrecked havoc in the hearts of the villagers.
Page. 124
Masako: Ran!
Masako: You came at the right time!
Masako: I was about to get you.
Ran: 'Wataru is!'
Ran: 'In danger?!'
Ran: Wataru!!
Doctor: So.
Doctor: You're the girl staying at Ian's...
Page. 125
Doctor: This is it for him.
Doctor: There's nothing more I can do.
Doctor: I don't even know what's wrong with him.
Doctor: Now...
Doctor: All we can do is wait...
Villagers: Hey isn't she...
Villagers: With that demon...
Villagers: Hmph, isn't she embarrased!
Villagers: Could be that she also had a wicked side somewhere...
Wataru: Big, big sister...
Ran: Wataru.
Wataru: Save me...
Ran: Wataru.
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'What, what if...'
Ran: 'What if, Wataru's body is?'
Page. 126
Doctor: Transfusion?
Doctor: With your blood?
Doctor: How stupid can you get!
Doctor: There is no point in giving him a transfusion.
Doctor: Is he was hemorrhaging maybe that is a different story!
But-, some months ago he was able to save his life with Ran's blood...
Wataru's body that gained psionic powers...
Needed Ran's blood to extend his life.
Ran: Umph!
Doctor: What.
Doctor: What is the meaning of this!
Doctor: Uhm!
Villagers: That child!
Villagers: What is she doing!
Page. 127
But Ran's desperate effort...
Doctor: You.
Doctor: Have you done this before?
Seemed frightening and monstrous to the villagers.
Villagers: What a scary kid.
Villagers: She has to be possessed by an evil spirit!
Villagers: If not, no one can do what she just did.
Ran: 'The brown-haired snow hare...'
Ian: Is it okay...
Ian: If you're not by his side...
Ran: ...
Ran: 'Dear Lord...'
Ran: 'Why did you give such a fate to that child?'
Ran: 'Or is it...'
Ran: 'I am the one that is cursed?'
Page. 128
Ian: No matter what, you...
Ian: Don't believe you have God's blessing.
Ran: That's right!
Ran: I don't have that right!
Ian: Is it because you are a psionist?
Ian: While you were sleeping, you constantly...
Ian: Called out Wataru with your telepathy.
Ian: It was too weak to reach him but...
Ian: You could respond to mine.
Ran: 'T, then.'
Ran: 'You are also-?!'
Ian: At the very least I can read minds...
Ian: 'So I know your situation, even how much it hurts.'
Page. 129
Child Ian: Please help me!
Child Ian: My father is ill!
Villagers: What's going on?
Villagers: What, it's just the son of that foreigner living in the mountains.
Child Ian: Please someone help us!
Villagers: What in the world is he saying?
Child Ian: Please, please get us a doctor!
Villagers: How can I understand that foreign language...
Ian: 'I was desperate. I cried... and cried.'
Ian: 'Even if they couldn't understand my words, they could have figured out that something was wrong-.'
Villagers: Stop bothering us.
Villagers: We don't hear your babbling.
Ian: 'But in their hearts...'
Ian: 'They had nothing but coldness towards foreigners.'
Child Ian: 'It's too much, really!'
Ian: 'I got frustrated and yelled out in telepathy.'
Child Ian: 'My dad is about to pass away!'
Page. 130
Ian: You can probably figure out...
Ian: Their reactions.
Ian: 'If even one of them responded...'
Ian: 'My father wouldn't have passed away.'
Ian: 'My father tried his best,'
Mr. Podrovichi: You can't blame others..., Ian.
Mr. Podrovichi: People everywhere are weak...
Ian: 'To get along with the villagers anyway he could...'
Ian: 'But in the end, they didn't accept us.'
Ian: 'I cremated my father.'
Ian: 'As he wished in his will.'
Ran: 'A 10 year old boy alone...'
Ran: 'Cremated his father...'
Nurse: D, doctor!
Nurse: His pulse is returning to normal!
Doctor: What!
Ran: 'We can love other people.'
Ran: 'Is love the greatest blessing God has given to humans.'
Ran: 'And, there are those who didn't close their hearts and loved us.'
Page. 131
Bird: 'You just have special abilities most people don't have.'
Bird: 'That's about it.'
Masako: Ran!
Masako: Ian!
Masako: Wataru woke up!
Masako: You don't have to worry about anything!
Doctor: Masako!
Doctor: So you are here as well.
Doctor: No shame-.
Page. 132
Doctor: Get out of my sight!
Doctor: My daughter...
Masako: Stop it!
Doctor: Do you think I'll let a demon like you have my daughter!
Doctor: You idiot!
Doctor: If you ever come near my daughter again...
Doctor: I'll kill you!
Ran: 'Too..., much.'
Ran: 'This is too much.'
Ran: 'I had no idea.'
Ran: 'That these two love each other...'
Ran: 'In these circumstances-.'
Page. 133
After a few days, Wataru checked out of the clinic.
Wataru: They kicked me out.
Wataru: Saying they didn't want a demon like me around.
Masako: It was really hard.
Masako: To avoid the villagers while coming here.
Ian: Good. Then, today we will have a party celebrating Wataru's health.
Ran: I'll make the dishes.
Ran: Since Masako is afraid of fire.
Masako: Then I...
Masako: Will make the meatballs.
Ian: 'The fire that was burning my father...'
Ian: 'Got swept up in strong winds.'
Ian: 'And in seconds it spread to the trees.'
Villagers: There's a child in the mountains.
Villagers: She's trapped in the fire!
Ian: 'The fire had wrapped around Masako...'
Child Masako: Kyaah!
Page. 134
Ian: 'Masako doesn't remember what happened...'
Ian: 'But the fear remained...'
Ran: No one knows... that you saved her life?
Ran: Not even Masako?
Ian: Masako doesn't need to know.
Ian: 'I don't want to make her worry with that old story.'
Ian: 'Masako was the first one who innocently...'
Ian: 'Welcomed me with her heart. Then-, she gave me her love.'
Page. 135
Everyone: Cheers!
Masako: Uwaah.
Ran: Real whiskey!
Masako: You're too much!
Ian: Hahahaha!
Ian: Joke, it's a joke.
Wataru: It's good.
Page. 136
Ian: What you want?
Ian: You guys?!
Ran: W...
Masako: What are you doing?!
Villager: Komatsuzaki Ran... is it.
Page. 137
Ian: Ran!
Ian: They aren't normal humans!
Ian: Not normal humans!
Ran: 'T.A.L.O.N.?'
These three had more than amazing strength.
They fell, fell, but got up to...
Fight on.
Did they finally run out of strength.
Finally they did not get up.
Page. 138
Ian: Ran...
Ian: These guys...
Ian: We killed them!
Villager: Uwa.
Villager: Uwahh...
Villager: Murderer!
Doctor: My daughter...
Doctor: Was Masako there as well?
Doctor: 'Darn it!'
Doctor: 'I knew this would happen...'
Doctor: We can't let those murderous demons live!
Doctor: Kill them!
Doctor: We will kill them with our own hands!
Page. 139
Ian: With these hands...
Ian: I killed someone.
Ran: But...
Ran: It was in self-defense.
Ian: How can we explain this?
Ian: Do you think the police or the villagers would believe us?!
Ian: It's over.
Ian: Everything.
Ian: We should run.
Ian: It's not time to argue about it!
Masako: Um, Ian?!
Page. 140
Ran: All because of me.
Ran: This...
Ran: This all happened...
Ian: Come with us.
Ian: Ran.
Ian: Don't think it's all your fault.
Ian: 'Even this guy named Bird...'
Ian: 'Would have been sad if he knew.'
Masako: Let's go someplace far.
Masako: With us.
Ran: Ian...
Ian: Aren't we friends.
Ran: Ian...
Ran: Masako...
Page. 141
Masako: Goodbye, Pipi.
Masako: This is it.
Masako: Because you have stand out in the snow.
Masako: Watch out for racoons and other animals.
Masako: Goodbye Pipi.
Doctor: Let's go!
Doctor: While we're arguing, those demons could escape!
Ian: The sun will set soon.
Ian: Let's cross that mountain as it gets dark.
Masako: Kyahh.
Ian: You alright?
Masako: Uhm.
Ian: Uh!
Ran: Ah!
Page. 142
Ran: T.A.L.O.N.!!
Ian: Are these the guys who are after you!
Underling: We been waiting for you.
Underling: Komatsuzaki Ran.
Ran: Everyone run!
Underling: Hmph!
Underling: She dissappeared!
Underling: Where did she go!
Underling: Uwa!
Underling: Up there!
Page. 143
Wataru: Big sister, behind you!!
Underling: Uwa!
Underling: Ahh!
Masako: Ian.
Page. 144
Leader: Stop right there, Ian!
Masako: Kyaah!
Ian: D...
Ian: Damn it.
Leader: Why don't you stop there.
Leader: Ran...
Leader: Mwuhahaha.
Leader: Did you think that...
Leader: We would use a plan that simple.
Ran: Masako.
Leader: Hmph.
Leader: Since I am an esper also...
Leader: Mind attacks won't work.
Leader: Then, what will you do.
Leader: If you don't do as I say...
Leader: I'm going to blow this lady's head off.
Page. 145
Leader: If you want to, I can turn Ian into a beehive.
Ran: Stop!
Ran: Those two have nothing to do with me!
Leader: It doesn't matter to me...
Leader: if they have nothing to do with you.
Ran: I, I'll do as you say...
Ran: So don't lay your hands on them.
Ian: Ran!!
Ran: T.A.L.O.N. will pull the trigger without hesistation .
Ran: Ian... Masako...
Ran: I can't let you get involved in this anymore.
Page. 146
Ran: 'Wataru...'
Ian: ...
Ran: Go away now.
Ran: We live in different worlds.
Ran: We are not even friends.
Ran: I was only using you for a while, but to think things have come down to this...
Ran: You're making me frsutrated!
Ran: I'm so annoyed!
Leader: Kuku... a bit too strong.
Leader: Since I am a gentleman...
Leader: I'll keep my promise.
Underling: This helmet will intercept all mind energy.
Underling: If we seal your powers, you're just a normal girl.
Underling: You can't do anything!
Ian: OK, whereever you go is fine by me.
Masako: Ian!
Page. 147
Ian: Ran.
Ran: Go away now!
Ran: I don't even want to see your faces ever again!
Ian: Let's go, Masako...
Ran: Bye Ian..., Masako...
Ran: You have to be happy for our sake.
Masako: Ian, I...
Ian: I know.
Ian: 'How clearly that was a lie-.'
Page. 148
Ian knew.
Ran told him to forget about them (Ran and Wataru.)
It was Ran's sadly strong volition that pleaded to him.
Villagers: Damn it! They ran away.
Villagers: It's empty!
Villagers: Find them!
Villagers: It's still warm. They couldn't have gone far.
Ran: What!
Leader: That's it.
Leader: It was us who controlled those villagers that attacked you.
Ran: Don't you think that was unnecessary?
Ran: Because of that Ian is...
Leader: The three that died became super-humans temporarily thanks to this machine.
Leader: But this is still in testing...
Leader: After it grants that power that exceeds the capabilities of the body...
Leader: Those people will die in a few hours even if nothing is done.
Leader: The villagers think that the ones who did that...
Leader: Are you guys.
Leader: They will look in every corner to find Ian...
Leader: Then probably kill him.
Page. 149
Ran: Could it be...
Ran: Even the villagers!
Leader: Huhuhu... all I did was just stimulate them a bit.
Leader: Until Ian is killed, the flame of their anger won't die out.
Leader: If Ian dies, that lady will probably follow him...
Leader: 'As long as they about us...'
Leader: 'We can't let them live.'
Ran: You...
Ran: You tricked me!
Leader: What are you talking about!
Leader: As I promised, I'm not doing anything!
Ran: You, beast!
Ran: You're not human!
Ran: No, you're worse than a beast, monster!
Leader: A nice lecture.
Leader: You made Wataru into an esper.
Leader: With that blood.
Leader: Even if it is the blood of the gods.
Leader: If a human gets strength they shouldn't have...
Leader: The fuse will blow out eventually.
Page. 150
Leader: In headquarters, researchers...
Leader: Are anxiously awaiting your arrival.
Leader: Wataru is a perfect specimen.
Leader: After our autopsy, we'll be able to examine the effects of the blood of the ancient super-humans to our delight.
Ran: 'Autopsy?!'
Leader: What's wrong?
Leader: Is it broken?
Underling: S, suddenly the engine...
Leader: ?
Underling: W...
Underling: Wah!
Leader: W, what's wrong, what blew up!
Page. 151
Leader: What the.
Leader: They body of the car is!
Leader: Being crushed?!
Leader: C, could it be...
Leader: You two?!
Leader: 'This can't be!'
Leader: 'Their psionic powers should have been sealed!'
Leader: Damn it! Escape. Get out of the car!
Underling: We can't!
Underling: It won't open!
Underling: The windows!
Underling: Kyaah!
Ran: Wataru!
Wataru: Big sister!
Page. 152
Leader: T...
Leader: Teleport?!
Leader: How.
Leader: How could this happen!
Ran: Um...
Ian: Are you okay?
Ian: Are you hurt?
Page. 153
Ran: Ian?
Ran: D, did you?!
Ian: 'When I obtained psionic powers like this...'
Ian: 'My father left his country with me.'
Ian: 'Because I haven't used it for 10 years...'
Ian: 'I thought I lost it.'
Villagers: He's here.
Villagers: It's Ian!
Villagers: Go away!
Villagers: Murderer! Beast!
Page. 154
Ian: Ma.
Wataru: Sa.
Ran: Ko.
Villager: B, big trouble!
Doctor: M, Masako!!
Ian: You idiot!
Ian: You wanted to protect me!
Ian: Why did you!
Villager: Miss!
Doctor: Masako!
Ian: Don't come near me!
Page. 155
Ian: 'Even just till now...'
Ian: 'I tried not to resent them.'
Ian: 'But...'
Ian: 'Now...'
Ian: I...
Ian: Hate you bastards!!
Ian: Let's go, Masako.
Ian: Let's leave together...
Ian: Goodbye, Ran...
Ian: 'In the end, we couldn't...'
Page. 156
Villager: Damn it, how dare he~.
Doctor: Don't let him go, avenge my daughter!
Villager: Kill him!
Ran: Idiots!
Ran: Still...
Ran: Even after that!
Villager: Uh!
Ran: Still!
Ran: You haven't woke up!
Page. 157
At the next moment,
The villagers' consciousness left their bodies...
As they went into a hurricane of sadness and pain...
They became one with Ran's consciousness.
Ran: 'What did those two do.'
Ran: 'They should have been happy.'
Ran: 'Nothing else should have happened to those two.'
Ran: 'Because you ignorant people fooled yourself with your prejudice and assumptions...'
Ran: 'You took away their love...'
Ran: 'Ian could have had...'
Ran: 'The happiness I can't have...'
Page. 158
Ran: 'How can those that closed their hearts recognize love.'
Ran: 'The devil entered the cracks in your hearts and twisted them...'
Ran: 'You perpetrated a crime that you can't amend.'
Ran: 'When you regain your consciousness,'
Ran: 'You'll be filled with sadness, regret, and pain.'
Ran: 'That will be my retribution.'
Wataru: Big sister...
Ian, who has the same blood as Ran...
Could have been a true comrade...
Ran: 'Dear Lord...'
Ran: 'I still can't'
Ran: 'Believe what you just did.'
Ran: 'Why did you do that to their love...'
Page. 159
Ran: 'Our enemy is T.A.L.O.N.'
Ran: 'Raise your spirit, Ran.'
Ran: 'The only thing that can vanquish the devil is...'
Ran: 'Ran, your red fang...'

Masako: Ian.
Masako: Please prepare dinner.
Ran: 'Although it might not have been a good idea since T.A.L.O.N. is looking for me...'
Masako: Kyaah!
Ian: Masako.
Ian: You alright?
Ran: ?
Page. 120
Ian: She's afraid of fire.
Ian: You can say it's a phobia.
Masako: Then I'll be leaving for now.
Masako: Uh, Pipi. You can't come with me.
Ran: Is that a snow hare?
Ran: It's December, but he still has brown-hair.
Ian: He is a strange one.
Ian: Probably, he was a white-haired snow hare.
Ian: That's why we can't let him out.
Ian: He will stand out in the snow.
Ran: 'He can't fit in with the snow around here...'
Ran: 'Brown-haired snow hare.'
Ian: I'll see her off.
Masako: See you later, Ran.
Ran: 'They like each other a lot.'
Ran: 'They seem happy.'
Page. 121
Ian: Did he find out?
Ian: Your father?
Ian: You came here everyday for a week now.
Ian: We might not be able to see each other a while.
Doctor: Masako!
Doctor: You said you're going to a part-time job...
Doctor: But you went to see him again!
Doctor: Of all the people, that demon...
Doctor: My daughter!
Doctor: Do you have any idea what you're doing Masako?!
Doctor: You're being fooled, Masako!
Page. 122
Ian: It's nothing.
Ian: You don't have to worry about it.
Ian: It's just burn marks.
Ian: Sometime ago, there was a mountain fire.
Ian: This is from back then.
Underling: I found Ran.
Underling: And for a moment I thought she was dead...
Underling: But she's in a place like this.
Leader: Khuhuhu...
Leader: So you found her?
Leader: 'Why don't you throw away the idea that you can escape from T.A.L.O.N.'s grasp, Ran...'
Leader: 'There is no place in the world where you can hide!'
Ian: Can you walk to the village?
Ian: Don't you want to see Wataru?
Ian: Should we go tomorrow?
Page. 123
Ran: ?!
Villagers: It's Ian...
Villagers: It's Ian.
The air surrounding the village...
Gave off a queer mood...
Villagers: 'It's Ian...'
Villagers: 'Son of a refugee.'
Villagers: 'Illegal alien.'
Villagers: 'The criminal who set the mountain on fire...'
Villagers: 'The platinum blood demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Villagers: 'Demon.'
Ran: 'Refugee?'
Ran: 'Illegal alien?'
Ran: 'Ian started a mountain fire?'
Ran: 'Just what is going one?!'
Fright-. Contempt-. Hatred-.
Various emotions wrecked havoc in the hearts of the villagers.
Page. 124
Masako: Ran!
Masako: You came at the right time!
Masako: I was about to get you.
Ran: 'Wataru is!'
Ran: 'In danger?!'
Ran: Wataru!!
Doctor: So.
Doctor: You're the girl staying at Ian's...
Page. 125
Doctor: This is it for him.
Doctor: There's nothing more I can do.
Doctor: I don't even know what's wrong with him.
Doctor: Now...
Doctor: All we can do is wait...
Villagers: Hey isn't she...
Villagers: With that demon...
Villagers: Hmph, isn't she embarrased!
Villagers: Could be that she also had a wicked side somewhere...
Wataru: Big, big sister...
Ran: Wataru.
Wataru: Save me...
Ran: Wataru.
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'Wataru.'
Ran: 'What, what if...'
Ran: 'What if, Wataru's body is?'
Page. 126
Doctor: Transfusion?
Doctor: With your blood?
Doctor: How stupid can you get!
Doctor: There is no point in giving him a transfusion.
Doctor: Is he was hemorrhaging maybe that is a different story!
But-, some months ago he was able to save his life with Ran's blood...
Wataru's body that gained psionic powers...
Needed Ran's blood to extend his life.
Ran: Umph!
Doctor: What.
Doctor: What is the meaning of this!
Doctor: Uhm!
Villagers: That child!
Villagers: What is she doing!
Page. 127
But Ran's desperate effort...
Doctor: You.
Doctor: Have you done this before?
Seemed frightening and monstrous to the villagers.
Villagers: What a scary kid.
Villagers: She has to be possessed by an evil spirit!
Villagers: If not, no one can do what she just did.
Ran: 'The brown-haired snow hare...'
Ian: Is it okay...
Ian: If you're not by his side...
Ran: ...
Ran: 'Dear Lord...'
Ran: 'Why did you give such a fate to that child?'
Ran: 'Or is it...'
Ran: 'I am the one that is cursed?'
Page. 128
Ian: No matter what, you...
Ian: Don't believe you have God's blessing.
Ran: That's right!
Ran: I don't have that right!
Ian: Is it because you are a psionist?
Ian: While you were sleeping, you constantly...
Ian: Called out Wataru with your telepathy.
Ian: It was too weak to reach him but...
Ian: You could respond to mine.
Ran: 'T, then.'
Ran: 'You are also-?!'
Ian: At the very least I can read minds...
Ian: 'So I know your situation, even how much it hurts.'
Page. 129
Child Ian: Please help me!
Child Ian: My father is ill!
Villagers: What's going on?
Villagers: What, it's just the son of that foreigner living in the mountains.
Child Ian: Please someone help us!
Villagers: What in the world is he saying?
Child Ian: Please, please get us a doctor!
Villagers: How can I understand that foreign language...
Ian: 'I was desperate. I cried... and cried.'
Ian: 'Even if they couldn't understand my words, they could have figured out that something was wrong-.'
Villagers: Stop bothering us.
Villagers: We don't hear your babbling.
Ian: 'But in their hearts...'
Ian: 'They had nothing but coldness towards foreigners.'
Child Ian: 'It's too much, really!'
Ian: 'I got frustrated and yelled out in telepathy.'
Child Ian: 'My dad is about to pass away!'
Page. 130
Ian: You can probably figure out...
Ian: Their reactions.
Ian: 'If even one of them responded...'
Ian: 'My father wouldn't have passed away.'
Ian: 'My father tried his best,'
Mr. Podrovichi: You can't blame others..., Ian.
Mr. Podrovichi: People everywhere are weak...
Ian: 'To get along with the villagers anyway he could...'
Ian: 'But in the end, they didn't accept us.'
Ian: 'I cremated my father.'
Ian: 'As he wished in his will.'
Ran: 'A 10 year old boy alone...'
Ran: 'Cremated his father...'
Nurse: D, doctor!
Nurse: His pulse is returning to normal!
Doctor: What!
Ran: 'We can love other people.'
Ran: 'Is love the greatest blessing God has given to humans.'
Ran: 'And, there are those who didn't close their hearts and loved us.'
Page. 131
Bird: 'You just have special abilities most people don't have.'
Bird: 'That's about it.'
Masako: Ran!
Masako: Ian!
Masako: Wataru woke up!
Masako: You don't have to worry about anything!
Doctor: Masako!
Doctor: So you are here as well.
Doctor: No shame-.
Page. 132
Doctor: Get out of my sight!
Doctor: My daughter...
Masako: Stop it!
Doctor: Do you think I'll let a demon like you have my daughter!
Doctor: You idiot!
Doctor: If you ever come near my daughter again...
Doctor: I'll kill you!
Ran: 'Too..., much.'
Ran: 'This is too much.'
Ran: 'I had no idea.'
Ran: 'That these two love each other...'
Ran: 'In these circumstances-.'
Page. 133
After a few days, Wataru checked out of the clinic.
Wataru: They kicked me out.
Wataru: Saying they didn't want a demon like me around.
Masako: It was really hard.
Masako: To avoid the villagers while coming here.
Ian: Good. Then, today we will have a party celebrating Wataru's health.
Ran: I'll make the dishes.
Ran: Since Masako is afraid of fire.
Masako: Then I...
Masako: Will make the meatballs.
Ian: 'The fire that was burning my father...'
Ian: 'Got swept up in strong winds.'
Ian: 'And in seconds it spread to the trees.'
Villagers: There's a child in the mountains.
Villagers: She's trapped in the fire!
Ian: 'The fire had wrapped around Masako...'
Child Masako: Kyaah!
Page. 134
Ian: 'Masako doesn't remember what happened...'
Ian: 'But the fear remained...'
Ran: No one knows... that you saved her life?
Ran: Not even Masako?
Ian: Masako doesn't need to know.
Ian: 'I don't want to make her worry with that old story.'
Ian: 'Masako was the first one who innocently...'
Ian: 'Welcomed me with her heart. Then-, she gave me her love.'
Page. 135
Everyone: Cheers!
Masako: Uwaah.
Ran: Real whiskey!
Masako: You're too much!
Ian: Hahahaha!
Ian: Joke, it's a joke.
Wataru: It's good.
Page. 136
Ian: What you want?
Ian: You guys?!
Ran: W...
Masako: What are you doing?!
Villager: Komatsuzaki Ran... is it.
Page. 137
Ian: Ran!
Ian: They aren't normal humans!
Ian: Not normal humans!
Ran: 'T.A.L.O.N.?'
These three had more than amazing strength.
They fell, fell, but got up to...
Fight on.
Did they finally run out of strength.
Finally they did not get up.
Page. 138
Ian: Ran...
Ian: These guys...
Ian: We killed them!
Villager: Uwa.
Villager: Uwahh...
Villager: Murderer!
Doctor: My daughter...
Doctor: Was Masako there as well?
Doctor: 'Darn it!'
Doctor: 'I knew this would happen...'
Doctor: We can't let those murderous demons live!
Doctor: Kill them!
Doctor: We will kill them with our own hands!
Page. 139
Ian: With these hands...
Ian: I killed someone.
Ran: But...
Ran: It was in self-defense.
Ian: How can we explain this?
Ian: Do you think the police or the villagers would believe us?!
Ian: It's over.
Ian: Everything.
Ian: We should run.
Ian: It's not time to argue about it!
Masako: Um, Ian?!
Page. 140
Ran: All because of me.
Ran: This...
Ran: This all happened...
Ian: Come with us.
Ian: Ran.
Ian: Don't think it's all your fault.
Ian: 'Even this guy named Bird...'
Ian: 'Would have been sad if he knew.'
Masako: Let's go someplace far.
Masako: With us.
Ran: Ian...
Ian: Aren't we friends.
Ran: Ian...
Ran: Masako...
Page. 141
Masako: Goodbye, Pipi.
Masako: This is it.
Masako: Because you have stand out in the snow.
Masako: Watch out for racoons and other animals.
Masako: Goodbye Pipi.
Doctor: Let's go!
Doctor: While we're arguing, those demons could escape!
Ian: The sun will set soon.
Ian: Let's cross that mountain as it gets dark.
Masako: Kyahh.
Ian: You alright?
Masako: Uhm.
Ian: Uh!
Ran: Ah!
Page. 142
Ran: T.A.L.O.N.!!
Ian: Are these the guys who are after you!
Underling: We been waiting for you.
Underling: Komatsuzaki Ran.
Ran: Everyone run!
Underling: Hmph!
Underling: She dissappeared!
Underling: Where did she go!
Underling: Uwa!
Underling: Up there!
Page. 143
Wataru: Big sister, behind you!!
Underling: Uwa!
Underling: Ahh!
Masako: Ian.
Page. 144
Leader: Stop right there, Ian!
Masako: Kyaah!
Ian: D...
Ian: Damn it.
Leader: Why don't you stop there.
Leader: Ran...
Leader: Mwuhahaha.
Leader: Did you think that...
Leader: We would use a plan that simple.
Ran: Masako.
Leader: Hmph.
Leader: Since I am an esper also...
Leader: Mind attacks won't work.
Leader: Then, what will you do.
Leader: If you don't do as I say...
Leader: I'm going to blow this lady's head off.
Page. 145
Leader: If you want to, I can turn Ian into a beehive.
Ran: Stop!
Ran: Those two have nothing to do with me!
Leader: It doesn't matter to me...
Leader: if they have nothing to do with you.
Ran: I, I'll do as you say...
Ran: So don't lay your hands on them.
Ian: Ran!!
Ran: T.A.L.O.N. will pull the trigger without hesistation .
Ran: Ian... Masako...
Ran: I can't let you get involved in this anymore.
Page. 146
Ran: 'Wataru...'
Ian: ...
Ran: Go away now.
Ran: We live in different worlds.
Ran: We are not even friends.
Ran: I was only using you for a while, but to think things have come down to this...
Ran: You're making me frsutrated!
Ran: I'm so annoyed!
Leader: Kuku... a bit too strong.
Leader: Since I am a gentleman...
Leader: I'll keep my promise.
Underling: This helmet will intercept all mind energy.
Underling: If we seal your powers, you're just a normal girl.
Underling: You can't do anything!
Ian: OK, whereever you go is fine by me.
Masako: Ian!
Page. 147
Ian: Ran.
Ran: Go away now!
Ran: I don't even want to see your faces ever again!
Ian: Let's go, Masako...
Ran: Bye Ian..., Masako...
Ran: You have to be happy for our sake.
Masako: Ian, I...
Ian: I know.
Ian: 'How clearly that was a lie-.'
Page. 148
Ian knew.
Ran told him to forget about them (Ran and Wataru.)
It was Ran's sadly strong volition that pleaded to him.
Villagers: Damn it! They ran away.
Villagers: It's empty!
Villagers: Find them!
Villagers: It's still warm. They couldn't have gone far.
Ran: What!
Leader: That's it.
Leader: It was us who controlled those villagers that attacked you.
Ran: Don't you think that was unnecessary?
Ran: Because of that Ian is...
Leader: The three that died became super-humans temporarily thanks to this machine.
Leader: But this is still in testing...
Leader: After it grants that power that exceeds the capabilities of the body...
Leader: Those people will die in a few hours even if nothing is done.
Leader: The villagers think that the ones who did that...
Leader: Are you guys.
Leader: They will look in every corner to find Ian...
Leader: Then probably kill him.
Page. 149
Ran: Could it be...
Ran: Even the villagers!
Leader: Huhuhu... all I did was just stimulate them a bit.
Leader: Until Ian is killed, the flame of their anger won't die out.
Leader: If Ian dies, that lady will probably follow him...
Leader: 'As long as they about us...'
Leader: 'We can't let them live.'
Ran: You...
Ran: You tricked me!
Leader: What are you talking about!
Leader: As I promised, I'm not doing anything!
Ran: You, beast!
Ran: You're not human!
Ran: No, you're worse than a beast, monster!
Leader: A nice lecture.
Leader: You made Wataru into an esper.
Leader: With that blood.
Leader: Even if it is the blood of the gods.
Leader: If a human gets strength they shouldn't have...
Leader: The fuse will blow out eventually.
Page. 150
Leader: In headquarters, researchers...
Leader: Are anxiously awaiting your arrival.
Leader: Wataru is a perfect specimen.
Leader: After our autopsy, we'll be able to examine the effects of the blood of the ancient super-humans to our delight.
Ran: 'Autopsy?!'
Leader: What's wrong?
Leader: Is it broken?
Underling: S, suddenly the engine...
Leader: ?
Underling: W...
Underling: Wah!
Leader: W, what's wrong, what blew up!
Page. 151
Leader: What the.
Leader: They body of the car is!
Leader: Being crushed?!
Leader: C, could it be...
Leader: You two?!
Leader: 'This can't be!'
Leader: 'Their psionic powers should have been sealed!'
Leader: Damn it! Escape. Get out of the car!
Underling: We can't!
Underling: It won't open!
Underling: The windows!
Underling: Kyaah!
Ran: Wataru!
Wataru: Big sister!
Page. 152
Leader: T...
Leader: Teleport?!
Leader: How.
Leader: How could this happen!
Ran: Um...
Ian: Are you okay?
Ian: Are you hurt?
Page. 153
Ran: Ian?
Ran: D, did you?!
Ian: 'When I obtained psionic powers like this...'
Ian: 'My father left his country with me.'
Ian: 'Because I haven't used it for 10 years...'
Ian: 'I thought I lost it.'
Villagers: He's here.
Villagers: It's Ian!
Villagers: Go away!
Villagers: Murderer! Beast!
Page. 154
Ian: Ma.
Wataru: Sa.
Ran: Ko.
Villager: B, big trouble!
Doctor: M, Masako!!
Ian: You idiot!
Ian: You wanted to protect me!
Ian: Why did you!
Villager: Miss!
Doctor: Masako!
Ian: Don't come near me!
Page. 155
Ian: 'Even just till now...'
Ian: 'I tried not to resent them.'
Ian: 'But...'
Ian: 'Now...'
Ian: I...
Ian: Hate you bastards!!
Ian: Let's go, Masako.
Ian: Let's leave together...
Ian: Goodbye, Ran...
Ian: 'In the end, we couldn't...'
Page. 156
Villager: Damn it, how dare he~.
Doctor: Don't let him go, avenge my daughter!
Villager: Kill him!
Ran: Idiots!
Ran: Still...
Ran: Even after that!
Villager: Uh!
Ran: Still!
Ran: You haven't woke up!
Page. 157
At the next moment,
The villagers' consciousness left their bodies...
As they went into a hurricane of sadness and pain...
They became one with Ran's consciousness.
Ran: 'What did those two do.'
Ran: 'They should have been happy.'
Ran: 'Nothing else should have happened to those two.'
Ran: 'Because you ignorant people fooled yourself with your prejudice and assumptions...'
Ran: 'You took away their love...'
Ran: 'Ian could have had...'
Ran: 'The happiness I can't have...'
Page. 158
Ran: 'How can those that closed their hearts recognize love.'
Ran: 'The devil entered the cracks in your hearts and twisted them...'
Ran: 'You perpetrated a crime that you can't amend.'
Ran: 'When you regain your consciousness,'
Ran: 'You'll be filled with sadness, regret, and pain.'
Ran: 'That will be my retribution.'
Wataru: Big sister...
Ian, who has the same blood as Ran...
Could have been a true comrade...
Ran: 'Dear Lord...'
Ran: 'I still can't'
Ran: 'Believe what you just did.'
Ran: 'Why did you do that to their love...'
Page. 159
Ran: 'Our enemy is T.A.L.O.N.'
Ran: 'Raise your spirit, Ran.'
Ran: 'The only thing that can vanquish the devil is...'
Ran: 'Ran, your red fang...'
