Ran: Ugug.
Page. 54
Asano: 'Miss, I'm more interested in you than the wolves.'
Asano: 'What's your name?'
Asano: 'What's your identity?'
Asano: Denying it won't work.
Asano: I know you that you're not a normal human.
Ran: 'It won't work.'
Ran: 'I can't move.'
Asano: Do you know what "Kamaitachi" is?
Asano: It's a vacuum space that spontaneously exists in air.
Asano: If you get hit by this...
Asano: It would feel like you been cut with razors...
Page. 55
Asano: I would like it if you told me the truth.
Ran: 'This man.'
Ran: 'He is using two abilities at the same time.'
Asano: 'Stubborn...'
Asano: Show me who you are now!
Page. 56
Asano: 'Huh.'
Asano: 'She got hit from the front-?!'
Asano: 'She could have avoided this weak flow of air...'
Asano: 'With a bit of strength.'
Azumi Reiko: D.
Azumi Reiko: Did you kill her?
Asano: She just fainted.
Asano: 'I guess my expectations were wrong...'
Asano: 'She's not that strong.'
Asano: 'If I take her with me, the directors at the research lab would like it.'
Page. 57
Azumi Reiko: Who is after us?
Ran: Put a hand to your heart and ask yourself.
Ran: What did you do 5 years ago.
Ran: The one who lost his parents to you and became a vegetable...
Ran: Itsumi Shigeru!
Azumi Shoujo: It doesn't make any sense!
Azumi Shoujo: He is basically dead.
Azumi Shoujo: But how does she know about this.
Azumi Shoujo: Asano.
Azumi Shoujo: Get rid of her.
Page. 58
Kiryuu: Stop!!
Azumi Shoujo: What?! Who are you?!
Kiryuu: I don't know what she is to you...
Kiryuu: But you've gone too far.
Kiryuu: Mr. Azumi.
Kiryuu: Is it alright to kill to hide a secret?!
Page. 59
Ran: Watch out!
Page. 60
Ran: W.
Ran: Wake up!
Ran: Are you alright?
Kiryuu: What...
Kiryuu: What just happened...?
Kiryuu: I guess you did that?
Kiryuu: I came to help you...
Kiryuu: But it looks like you helped me.
Kiryuu: You're Komatsuzaki Ran...
Ran: How do you know my name?
Kiryuu: I'm Kiryuu Jin.
Kiryuu: A novelist.
Ran: 'A novelist?'
Ran: Please excuse me.
Kiryuu: Wait.
Page. 61
Kiryuu: Where you gonna go looking like that?
Ran: Kyaah!
Kiryuu: Don't worry. At the least, I'm not your enemy.
Page. 62
Clothes Shop Owner: With this you can't see the bandage marks and...
Clothes Shop Owner: This is the simplest item we have in my store.
Clothes Shop Owner: But, Mr. Kiryuu.
Clothes Shop Owner: Do you know what time it is now?
Clothes Shop Owner: It's 3:30 A.M., 3:30 A.M.!
Kiryuu: I'll be sure to repay this favor.
Clothes Shop Owner: Lack of sleep is bad for my beauty.
Clothes Shop Owner: I was wondering what was going on, and you brought in a girl who has wounds all over her body.
Clothes Shop Owner: Please explain just what is going on.
Kiryuu: I saved her when she was with some bad people and in danger.
Clothes Shop Owner: Hmph...
Clothes Shop Owner: Hey kid, watch out.
Clothes Shop Owner: Mr Kiryuu might be scarier.
PART 7
Dispatch: A pack that looks like wolves appeared at Negimaku and Takanodia.
Dispatch: About 20 of them.
Dispatch: Over.
Dispatch: From Mejiro street they are going to Shinjuku quarter.
Dispatch: Patrol units near the area, investigate!
Page. 63
Police Officers: In all my life, "wolves."
Police Officers: It looks like the disturbance from Chichibu is spreading.
Police Officers: But wolves don't exist in Japan now.
Police Officers: Honshu's Japanese wolves and Hokkaido's Ezo wolves were all destroyed around 1906.
Police Officers: It's because they attacked humans and livestock that people hunted them down with fire in their eyes.
Police Officers: Anyways, they're probably just stray dogs.
Police Officers: Nothing much about them to create all that disturbance.
Police Officers: H..., hey look over there.
Police Officers: Can it be!
Police Officers: It's real! Real wolves!
Page. 64
Police Officers: Look over there! At the head of the pack!
Police Officers: That girl from the rumors!
Police Officers: It's a boy!
Police Officers: We were confused because of the long hair.
Police Officers: They went into that street nearby.
Police Officers: Do they think we'll let them getaway.
Police Officers: Uwah!
Page. 65
Kiryuu: To think it was murder... disguised as an accident.
Kiryuu: Itsumi Touru, who had a background in journalism...
Kiryuu: Was an abominable obstacle to Azumi.
Kiryuu: Itsumi Shigeru, who's parents were murdered.
Kiryuu: The wolves, who lost their final home "Mt. Shokidake" to Azumi Cement.
Kiryuu: Their hatred combined.
Ran: Yes.
Kiryuu: But Shigeru is...
Ran: That's not his body.
Page. 66
Ran: His soul is liberated from his body...
Ran: It's a "wraith."
Ran: The last pack of wolves that were left on Mt. Shokidake without the knowledge of humans...
Ran: Their leader is "Dai."
Ran: Dai's strong resentment towards humans that destroyed his comrades and the mountain met Shigeru's soul and...
Ran: They became a combination of hatred that radiates incredible mental energy.
Kiryuu: Wolf and human...
Kiryuu: Concrete...
Ran: It hurts me to know how the wolves feel.
Ran: But if they're left alone...
Ran: They will victimize many people...
Ran: I knew their second target was the Chichibu factory...
Ran: So I... wanted to persuade them anyway I can...
Page. 67
Kiryuu: So, you were around when it exploded.
Ran: The wolves only followed the Natural Law...
Ran: W, what is this.
Kiryuu: Coffee.
Kiryuu: Is this your first time drinking an expresso?
Kiryuu: Where's the sugar...
Kiryuu: There is no milk.
Kiryuu: I'm sorry but this is all I have.
Kiryuu: 'If you look at her, she looks just like a normal girl.'
Page. 68
Kiryuu: Kubo, what's the matter.
Kiryuu: In this time of night.
Kiryuu: Are you an iron man also?
Kiryuu: 'The wolves appeared?!'
Kubo: The radio is broadcasting the special news.
Kubo: It's not a joke.
Kiryuu: The capital freeway overpass?!
Kiryuu: Let's go
Ran: Yes.
Page. 69
Radio: Because the dawn traffic was light, a disaster was avoided, but...
Radio: There are over 12 victims dead.
Radio: The police is putting their efforts toward searching for the boy and the wolves seen at the scene.
Radio: Even though they are looking to see if the boy planted explosives...
Radio: They are also simultaneously looking to see if there was some faulty construction of the overpass.
Radio: With this case, the capital freeway is now-.
Kiryuu: It is them?
Kiryuu: Doesn't it look like their grudge isn't just towards Azumi Cement?
Ran: The mountain was cut...
Ran: And the buildings, roads made from the rocks...
Ran: 'Who knows if the wolves have a grudge against everything made of concrete.'
Page. 70
Ran: 'This big city's concrete jungle is haunted by the wraith of the mountains-.'
PART 8
Underling: Mr. President!
Underling: I inquired at the hospital, but Itsumi Shigeru's condition hasn't changed.
Asano: Among espers, there are those who can separate their mind from their body.
Azumi Shoujo: Are you saying he is like that?
Asano: Probably...
Azumi Shoujo: 'Looks like a demon is right here...'
Azumi Shoujo: 'So is a ghost after us.'
Page. 71
Asano: But...
Asano: Even if the soul is freed from the body, they share the same life...
Azumi Reiko: So if we kill Shigeru's body...
Asano: It will solve everything.
Azumi Reiko: Let's attack first, dad.
Azumi Reiko: As seen last night...
Azumi Reiko: Asano's skill can't keep us safe.
Asano: You better not make me mad, miss.
Azumi Shoujo: Stop this now!
Asano: Even though I was caught off guard, I failed.
Asano: I had no idea she is an esper that powerful.
Asano: But her powers only show up as part of her reactions.
Asano: She can't freely control her powers.
Ran: There is nothing here, Mr. Kiryuu.
Ran: I can't make anything with this...
Kiryuu: With a man living alone...
Kiryuu: There isn't an opportunity to prepare dinner.
Ran: Then I'll go buy something.
Page. 72
Kiryuu: Ahah, how long has it been since I sat down for a real breakfast-.
Kiryuu: It's delicious.
Kiryuu: This tofu soup is great.
Ran: My father...
Ran: Loved tofu soup so he was really picky about it.
Kiryuu: You're talking about Dr. Komatsuzaki.
Kiryuu: Who studies animals...
Ran: What are you going to do...
Ran: From investigating me...?
Ran: I'm an artificial human made by genetic engineering for some unknown purpose...
Ran: I'm a human that is carrying a cursed blood.
Kiryuu: Why are you telling me this...?
Kiryuu: Are you warning me?
Ran: 'Inside me...'
Ran: 'There is another person.'
Ran: 'I can't control this monster with incredible stregth...'
Ran: 'With my own will...'
Page. 73
Ran: Because of that...
Ran: I lost my father, my friends, and my lover...
Ran: I wanted to forget everything.
Ran: I wanted to become a normal girl.
Ran: But...
Ran: The "organization" that is after me won't allow it.
Ran: If, the mass media finds out about this...
Ran: I won't be able to run away anymore...
Kiryuu: I, I got it.
Kiryuu: I understand so don't cry.
Kiryuu: I won't write about it. I won't. That story.
Kiryuu: Now the meal you cooked isn't going to taste that good.
Ran: I...
Ran: I'm sorry..., I...
Kiryuu: Hey, Ran.
Kiryuu: Give me another bowl of this tofu soup.
Ran: Yes!
Ran: I'll bring it over.
Kiryuu: Cute~.

Keiko's guardian mother: Something stupid like that isn't going to happen.
Keiko: But it's true.
Keiko: I don't know the reason.
Keiko: Also we don't know if they will return...
Keiko: I already got the hospital's permission.
Keiko's guardian mother: If you really want to...
Keiko's guardian mother: Do as you wish.
Keiko's guardian mother: You're only going to be with your older brother for only one more week anyways.
Suspicious woman: Let's sneak in at night.

Page. 77
Keiko: It's been 5 years...
Keiko: Since we slept together like this.
Keiko: Big brother.
Keiko: We exchanged so many stories under the blankets.
Keiko: We even made up stories as we were drawing...

Keiko: Big brother?
Keiko: T..., this is...
Page. 78

Kiryuu: It's quiet like a mouse.
Kiryuu: Only the patrol cars are on the street.
Kiryuu: 'The entire city of Tokyo is scared of the mystery of the wolves.'
Kiryuu: Do you sense anything, Ran?
Ran: There is more than 20 of them, but I can't sense anything.
Ran: It looks like they're not making their move tonight.
Azumi Shoujo: He ran away!!
Azumi Shoujo: His sister moved him.
Suspicious man: But they couldn't have gone far.
Suspicious man: If they don't find a source of electricity in 1 hour, the machine would stop...

Azumi Shoujo: We have to find him no matter what!
Page. 80
Keiko: Then, the cases involving wolves this year...
Keiko: You were behind it big brother.

Keiko: Those scary things.
Page. 81
Shigeru: No matter what you say...
Shigeru: I can't forgive them.

Shigeru: They shot the two who fell and were sprawled on the ground.
Shigeru: With several shots.
Shigeru: With a smile on their faces!
Shigeru: Finally they blew up their corpses with dynamite!
Shigeru: And they did the same to me who witnessed the scene!
Page. 82
Keiko: 'Even if so, my big brother is committing murder.'
Keiko: 'If I press the switch on the life support machine...'

Azumi Reiko: Cheers, dad.
Azumi Shoujo: No matter what methods they use, they can't beat money, power, and intelligence.
Azumi Shoujo: In the end, it's nothing more than jealousy of the lower class.
Azumi Shoujo: The view tonight is even more beautiful.
Azumi Shoujo: It is the priviledge of the elite to look at all this down below.
Shigeru: D... damn it.
Shigeru: Azumi... Reiko...
Shigeru: I can't forgive you.
Shigeru: Lend me your strength, Dai!

Kubo: My heart is beating so fast, this is a big story.
Kiryuu: I'm sorry Kubo, but.

Kubo: Ahah, I'm nervous from the anticipation.

Police Officers: It's a boy!
Police Officers: We were confused because of the long hair.
Police Officers: They went into that street nearby.
Police Officers: Do they think we'll let them getaway.
Police Officers: Uwah!
Page. 65
Kiryuu: To think it was murder... disguised as an accident.
Kiryuu: Itsumi Touru, who had a background in journalism...
Kiryuu: Was an abominable obstacle to Azumi.
Kiryuu: Itsumi Shigeru, who's parents were murdered.
Kiryuu: The wolves, who lost their final home "Mt. Shokidake" to Azumi Cement.
Kiryuu: Their hatred combined.
Ran: Yes.
Kiryuu: But Shigeru is...
Ran: That's not his body.
Page. 66
Ran: His soul is liberated from his body...
Ran: It's a "wraith."
Ran: The last pack of wolves that were left on Mt. Shokidake without the knowledge of humans...
Ran: Their leader is "Dai."
Ran: Dai's strong resentment towards humans that destroyed his comrades and the mountain met Shigeru's soul and...
Ran: They became a combination of hatred that radiates incredible mental energy.
Kiryuu: Wolf and human...
Kiryuu: Concrete...
Ran: It hurts me to know how the wolves feel.
Ran: But if they're left alone...
Ran: They will victimize many people...
Ran: I knew their second target was the Chichibu factory...
Ran: So I... wanted to persuade them anyway I can...
Page. 67
Kiryuu: So, you were around when it exploded.
Ran: The wolves only followed the Natural Law...
Ran: W, what is this.
Kiryuu: Coffee.
Kiryuu: Is this your first time drinking an expresso?
Kiryuu: Where's the sugar...
Kiryuu: There is no milk.
Kiryuu: I'm sorry but this is all I have.
Kiryuu: 'If you look at her, she looks just like a normal girl.'
Page. 68
Kiryuu: Kubo, what's the matter.
Kiryuu: In this time of night.
Kiryuu: Are you an iron man also?
Kiryuu: 'The wolves appeared?!'
Kubo: The radio is broadcasting the special news.
Kubo: It's not a joke.
Kiryuu: The capital freeway overpass?!
Kiryuu: Let's go
Ran: Yes.
Page. 69
Radio: Because the dawn traffic was light, a disaster was avoided, but...
Radio: There are over 12 victims dead.
Radio: The police is putting their efforts toward searching for the boy and the wolves seen at the scene.
Radio: Even though they are looking to see if the boy planted explosives...
Radio: They are also simultaneously looking to see if there was some faulty construction of the overpass.
Radio: With this case, the capital freeway is now-.
Kiryuu: It is them?
Kiryuu: Doesn't it look like their grudge isn't just towards Azumi Cement?
Ran: The mountain was cut...
Ran: And the buildings, roads made from the rocks...
Ran: 'Who knows if the wolves have a grudge against everything made of concrete.'
Page. 70
Ran: 'This big city's concrete jungle is haunted by the wraith of the mountains-.'
PART 8
Underling: Mr. President!
Underling: I inquired at the hospital, but Itsumi Shigeru's condition hasn't changed.
Asano: Among espers, there are those who can separate their mind from their body.
Azumi Shoujo: Are you saying he is like that?
Asano: Probably...
Azumi Shoujo: 'Looks like a demon is right here...'
Azumi Shoujo: 'So is a ghost after us.'
Page. 71
Asano: But...
Asano: Even if the soul is freed from the body, they share the same life...
Azumi Reiko: So if we kill Shigeru's body...
Asano: It will solve everything.
Azumi Reiko: Let's attack first, dad.
Azumi Reiko: As seen last night...
Azumi Reiko: Asano's skill can't keep us safe.
Asano: You better not make me mad, miss.
Azumi Shoujo: Stop this now!
Asano: Even though I was caught off guard, I failed.
Asano: I had no idea she is an esper that powerful.
Asano: But her powers only show up as part of her reactions.
Asano: She can't freely control her powers.
Ran: There is nothing here, Mr. Kiryuu.
Ran: I can't make anything with this...
Kiryuu: With a man living alone...
Kiryuu: There isn't an opportunity to prepare dinner.
Ran: Then I'll go buy something.
Page. 72
Kiryuu: Ahah, how long has it been since I sat down for a real breakfast-.
Kiryuu: It's delicious.
Kiryuu: This tofu soup is great.
Ran: My father...
Ran: Loved tofu soup so he was really picky about it.
Kiryuu: You're talking about Dr. Komatsuzaki.
Kiryuu: Who studies animals...
Ran: What are you going to do...
Ran: From investigating me...?
Ran: I'm an artificial human made by genetic engineering for some unknown purpose...
Ran: I'm a human that is carrying a cursed blood.
Kiryuu: Why are you telling me this...?
Kiryuu: Are you warning me?
Ran: 'Inside me...'
Ran: 'There is another person.'
Ran: 'I can't control this monster with incredible stregth...'
Ran: 'With my own will...'
Page. 73
Ran: Because of that...
Ran: I lost my father, my friends, and my lover...
Ran: I wanted to forget everything.
Ran: I wanted to become a normal girl.
Ran: But...
Ran: The "organization" that is after me won't allow it.
Ran: If, the mass media finds out about this...
Ran: I won't be able to run away anymore...
Kiryuu: I, I got it.
Kiryuu: I understand so don't cry.
Kiryuu: I won't write about it. I won't. That story.
Kiryuu: Now the meal you cooked isn't going to taste that good.
Ran: I...
Ran: I'm sorry..., I...
Kiryuu: Hey, Ran.
Kiryuu: Give me another bowl of this tofu soup.
Ran: Yes!
Ran: I'll bring it over.
Kiryuu: Cute~.

Keiko: But it's true.
Keiko: I don't know the reason.
Keiko: Also we don't know if they will return...

Keiko's guardian mother: Do as you wish.
Keiko's guardian mother: You're only going to be with your older brother for only one more week anyways.
Suspicious woman: Let's sneak in at night.
Suspicious woman: The orders say if things don't go smoothly, we can make some noise.

Suspicious man: It will be too easy to crush any police investigations.
Page. 77
Keiko: It's been 5 years...
Keiko: Since we slept together like this.

Kiryuu: Only the patrol cars are on the street.
Kiryuu: 'The entire city of Tokyo is scared of the mystery of the wolves.'
Kiryuu: Do you sense anything, Ran?
Ran: There is more than 20 of them, but I can't sense anything.
Ran: It looks like they're not making their move tonight.
Azumi Shoujo: He ran away!!
Azumi Shoujo: His sister moved him.
Suspicious man: But they couldn't have gone far.
Suspicious man: If they don't find a source of electricity in 1 hour, the machine would stop...
Azumi Shoujo: Send out everyone you can!
Azumi Shoujo: We have to find him no matter what!
Page. 80
Keiko: Then, the cases involving wolves this year...
Keiko: You were behind it big brother.

Shigeru: And they did the same to me who witnessed the scene!
Page. 82
