In the past, for me,
there were two worlds.

My left eye viewed the present,

while my right eye viewed the outcome.

By wishing for the future
that would serve my purpose,

I would lose all hope.

The future that I saw
would never be reversed.

It may have looked as if I'd
built a future, but the truth is,

I was merely a lowly, defective
god serving the future.

if they had been nothing
more than daydreams...

Even I could have become
a slightly better person.

Hey. I've caught up
with you, serial bomber.

My clairvoyance is perfect.

No matter what happens, it's irreversible.

The world order. No one can defy
the way things should be, no matter who.

This is the day of the final battle!

Ms. shizune seo of year 1, class a.

You have a call from your father, so please
come to the office on the first floor.

Reien academy:
Warnings during summer vacation

Jeez, the next bus doesn't
leave for another half hour...

Aha! I spy a cat curled up on the sofa!

Wait, you're more of a dog
than a cat... right, seo?

I have to correct it!

So? What are you doing?

That's not what you're thinking.

I'm heading home today.

Seriously?

Aren't you going home, Naomi?
Your family is in Hong Kong, right?

I didn't get permission
to leave the school.

Well, I did drop in the rankings
thanks to the new girl.

I'll be studying away
here like a good girl.

You mean that girl who got top scores
in the national mock exams, right?

I wonder why she
transferred to our school?

Who knows? I hear that
she really wanted to come here.

Never mind that, seo.

Are you going home
dressed like that?

You're not gonna change
into your street clothes?

I don't have any other clothes.

Since my dad won't send me any.

You dummy! Why
didn't you tell me sooner?

Come on! I'll lend you
some of my clothes!

What's wrong?

No, no, it's nothing.

All right! Then let's go.

Hurry up!

Uh... okay!

August 3rd.

9:30 am.

My future at this point in time

was exactlly as I saw 3 days
ago, without a shred of novelty.

My wish list. Suicide garden's
new album. I'm counting on you!

There are two of me in this world.

In this world, and that world... one each.

I'm seeing the same world
from different points of view.

all outcomes, I'm an irresponsible god.

As someone who knows all
outcomes, I'm an irresponsible god.

Merely waiting for a future
that I can never change.

I expect nothing of the future...

And I don't really have an opinion.

My boring daily life.

My boring future.

My boring life.

But I'm sure that there's
no one as boring as me.

Mifune station

Excuse me...

Excuse me... please wait!

You, the unscrupulous
door-to-door salesman!

I mean you!

Huh? What?

Were you just talking about me?

Uh... um...

If you carry that bag...

You'll get hurt... or
you'll be in an accident...

To put it mildly, you'll be hit by a
dump truck and demolished...

Hey! Hold up! Let go!

I said let go!

You mustn't... go... that way!

Excuse me.

Did something happen here?

What?

You know this kid?

Sorry. I'm just a passer-by.

Well, I was just walking along,

when this kid suddenly
started nagging at me.

Excuse me?

Uh... is that true?

So that's settled, right?
I'll be on my way now.

I'm leaving that kid to you!

Are you all right?

Um... thank you very much.

But I've got to go
after that man!

H-hey, hold up a second!

Can I ask you one more time?

Why did you think that something bad
was going to happen to that guy?

Well, because... uh...
It's just a gut feeling.

My intuition's usually right.

Well, that's surprising. You spoke
to him only out of a gut feeling?

But you're right, that sounds serious.

Right. I'll go talk some
sense into him.

I want you to stay right here.

If all goes well,
I'll let you know!

Ur...

Let me get this straight.

That wasn't an illusion just now...

It seems like a dream,
but it's reality...

He said, "leave it to me!"
And I was relieved...

But if I stay here,
I'll miss the express!

But I guess it doesn't matter.

Hey, what was that?

An explosion?

What's going on?

Over there!

Something's smoking!

Did something happen to him?

But that's not what I saw!

Are you all right? Sorry
to keep you waiting.

It was just as you said.

Really... it was such a close call.

But he ended up only tripping a little.

So he was saved?

Yes. He really was lucky.

That guy must be thanking
you right about now.

Huh? Uh... what?

Well, it is the aftermath, huh?

Let's see...

Do you want to take a break
in that café over there?

I'm sure you must be exhausted.

Yes! Thank you very much!

You see, I have more than an
hour until I catch the train.

Then as a reward for what
you just did, it's on me.

Oh, I haven't introduced
myself yet, have I?

I'm mikiya kokutou.

Nice to meet you!

I'm shizune seo!

This was how it all began,
and almost the whole story.

This was a fateful meeting between me,
shizune seo, and mikiya kokutou.

Bang!!

I have neither expectations
nor hope for the future.

I, meruka kuramitsu,

possessed the ability
to foresee the future.

My right eye would show
me the desired outcome,

while my left eye...

Would project what I had to
do to achieve those results.

The future is not something to dream about.

It's merely a result of the
tedious summation of things.

It's not as if I'm seeing the future...

But rather the obvious
outcome five or ten minutes later.

I expect nothing of the future.

In life, nothing ever
happens but the obvious.

There is no such
thing as the unknown.

Professional bomber. This is
my current occupation.

Bombs are no more than
props to agitate people.

July 31 - 19:30 mifune grand hotel completion
ceremony explosives just happened to be the devices

explosives just happened
to be the devices

with which I could maximize
my powers of precognition.

Pardon me, Ms. aozaki.

I wanted to thank you for
your brilliant design.

No problem.

I'll go get us
something to drink.

Sorry. I couldn't find
anything you'd like, shiki.

Huh?

Hey. It's dangerous over there.

Oh, please...

Hey, it's dangerous over there.

That woman... she knew
that the hotel was in peril.

Did I miss something?

I must've missed something.

But there should never be exceptions.

There's also a chance that
she saw who I was.

As far as my future is
concerned, that woman...

Is expendable.

You're being targeted
by a serial bomber?

Not so much being
targeted as being stalked.

Probably it's the same guy who
bombed the hotel the other day.

Were you just born a magnet
for freaks, for god's sake?

This isn't a laughing matter.

Take a look at this.

I found it in my mailbox this morning. He
gave it to me so that he could contact me.

A flash bomb at a construction site,

a pseudo-landmine on the street...

A time bomb in an
abandoned building, huh?

No witnesses.

Nor any casualties.

Including you, that is.

Seeing you still alive
and kicking after all that,

no wonder he can't leave
well enough alone.

So? Did you get a call from him?

Not even once yet.

Never mind that, touko. There's
something off about this guy.

Something off? What about him?

He anticipates too well.

The third explosion was in a building
that I went into on a whim.

There was an alarm clock sitting
in the middle of the room...

And the instant the second
hand hit twelve midnight...

Boss! I got you your cigarettes.

I've heard about this serial bomber, too.

It might very well be typical
precognition, what he has.

Is it all right if we sit by
the window, shizune?

Shi-...

Yes!

Here's a menu.

Right.

Today's daily special is...

What? It's the same
as yesterday's.

Too bad. The blueberry pie is the one thing
I'd have no qualms recommending...

Welcome!

Pardon me. Coffee for me.

I'd like some
iced cocoa, please!

Very well.

About what just happened...

Why did you believe my story?

I don't really know
how to answer that...

Because you seemed so earnest.

Or is that not good enough?

Was it because you
felt sorry for me?

All I could understand
at that moment

was the fact that you had no
reason to lie - nothing more.

Like, even if you had tricked him,
you wouldn't have gotten anything.

So you believed me
because it wasn't a lie?

But saying I had good intuition...
That sounded bogus.

Even if your story sounded bogus,
you yourself were dead serious.

That was enough to at least
get my foot in the door.

Thanks for waiting.

Um... you see...

I can see the future.

Including that recent hotel
bombing the other day,

there've been similar blasts
in the last few years.

With the perp leaving his written
confessions at the crime scenes.

In the note, he wrote
everything in detail

from the time of the blasts
to the scope of damage,

and from the number of casualties
to specifics on their injuries.

And it was all so cut-and-dried,
just like some reports.

So you're saying, to
him it's just a job?

But the problem here is...

That a serial bomber who
never leaves loose ends

has started stalking shiki.

Shiki, where were you that night?

Nowhere.

The scenery was unappealing,
so I stepped outside, that's all.

Never mind that, did he predict
the future in his confession?

He sent something
like that to the police,

and caused those incidents,
vet he escaped pursuit.

This can't even be possible
without some kind of miracle.

Precognition...

If someone can do it,
the someone is a clairvoyant

who can see the image
of the future in advance.

Kokutou, have you heard
of the mother of mifune?

Yeah. Yet another somewhat
nostalgic-sounding name.

I guess you'd call her a
back-alley fortune-teller?

She was once popular
among schoolgirls, right?

The mother of mifune wasn't
about predicting the future,

but rather, she specialized
in avoiding tragedy.

She'd say, for example,

"you'll have a falling-out with your
boyfriend within the next two days.

If you don't want to break up, go
on a trip alone for three days."

Something to that effect; She'd
dispense advice in a casual way.

Customers who didn't
do as she told them

all ended up facing those
tragedies, without exception.

I see. And what does she
have to do with this?

It's highly likely that
she's a pseudo-seer.

Kokutou doesn't have to, but shiki,

you should go see her in person.

If you see her with your own eyes,
you can get a feel for her, right?

The maniacal hotel bomber in
question just might be her.

Care to stop by?

Are you the mother of mifune?

My, I haven't heard that name in ages.

It was so long ago.

So are you a serial bomber now?

Don't insult me!

My business is in romantic luck
and dreams for the future.

I deal in a youth-oriented
market, you see!

I have nothing to say to
a maniacal killer like you!

Oh, yeah?

How did you know?

That's nothing. Your whole
body is giving it away.

But for the prey you want the most,

looks like you don't quite
have your sights on it yet.

Precognition...

I-it is strange, isn't it?
What I'm saying? I mean...

I'm strange, aren't I?

What do you mean by being
able to see the future?

Can you really see it, like a movie?

Yes. Not really a movie, but...

More like a dizzy spell.

When did it start?

I started realizing that it was the future
I was seeing when I was in junior high.

When I was little, I didn't
understand what I was seeing.

I don't think it was
as clear as it is now.

That's good.

That's a blessing in disguise... well,
that's a rude way of putting it, right?

Children do suffer in their own way,

and although I can only imagine it,

I'm sure you went through a lot of pain.

You're tough, aren't you?

Oh, no...

I'm about to cry.

I haven't felt this much pain
since two winters ago.

When I went home, I saw
my shiba dog, Chris, dead.

The grief of losing Chris, and my
joy that he'd waited for me

kept me crying all that night.

The next morning, he
wasn't inside his doghouse,

but under the veranda where I found
him, dead, and once more I cried.

Compared to other people, I'm forced
to carry one extra load of sorrow.

And he understood how I felt without
hearing me put it into words,

U-um!

What is it?

I have no ulterior motives,

but you see... starting now...

Would it be all right
if I called you mikiya?

Sure.

Whatever's easier for you, shizune.

All right!

Fine. I don't know if you're
the real deal or not,

but I understand now what makes
those with precognition tick.

Listen, you. Just what is it that
you think you understand about me?

If you're picking a fight, I'm all in!

For starters,

your sweetheart, the one you show such
wholehearted, one-sided devotion to...

Shall I feed you every truth about him?

Well. You're gentler
than you look, I see.

I was being sarcastic just now,

but can I give you
some friendly advice?

I have enough of that, so save it.

See you.

It's dangerous around here at night.

It's no place for the elderly.

Bless me! Such gallant
words for this day and age!

Hey, you! Haven't we met before?

Nope! If that's a pickup
line, give it a rest!

I see. That's too bad.

By the way, the bridge is unlucky.

Watch your back.

Well, not that something of
that level could ever kill you.

So anyway, this precognition...

About how far ahead in
the future can you see?

Uh, right. Let's see...

I can see as clear scenery as
much as three days ahead,

but I can see a month ahead,
or even a year ahead,

when I see them as rough images.

So even the future you
can see has levels, huh?

Isn't there anything good about
being able to see into the future?

It's not like there isn't any good, but...

I can see things like what's going
to be on a test beforehand

so I was the top student
in my grade until recently.

Even though it's not
as if I'm smart...

It's strange, isn't it?

Let me ask you something.

Does seeing the future scare you?

I'm not sure.

But I feel scared when I see
a future that I can't do anything about.

But you still haven't seen that kind of
future for the people close to you, right?

No.

But...

Accidents like today's scare me.

It's not that you're scared.

That's just...

That's just... what?

No, let's talk about that last.

Is it ok to continue the
topic of seeing the future?

You'd never met that
man before, had you?

And is this your first time in this city?

No, I've been to mifune city many times.

Then did you come here today by train?

No, by bus from chonodai.

I got here at around 11 o'clock,
and felt dizzy right away.

If you took the bus from chonodai,
you came from the same direction as me.

How did you meet that man?

I spoke to him after
I'd seen the future.

Before that... um...
What happened again?

You felt dizzy as soon as you
pulled into the bus stop, right?

Could it be that the man was on
the same bus, and got off before you?

Oh, now that you
mention it, that's right.

I see.

To quote touko, then it all fits.

Mikiya kokutou garan-no-dou

I've taken up a lot of your time,
but this is the last question.

Are you afraid of seeing the future?

Or...

Are you more afraid of the fact
that the future is predetermined?

I'm afraid of both.

If I had to choose, I'd say the latter.

Then, you don't have to worry.

As your elder, let me
assure you of this.

You are worried about
something you should not be.

So you should actually
see as much as possible.

Mikiya, have you
heard a word I've said?

Of course! From what I've heard,
your precognition isn't a bad thing.

There are several kinds
of precognition, you see.

This is just what I've
heard second-hand, but...

Boss, is there really such
a thing as precognition?

Yes, there is. Basically, it's a unique
talent that only allows you to "see."

Precognition can be divided
into prediction and calculation.

Precognition is merely a prediction.

For example, let's say
there's murder victim a,

and perp b, who's going to kill a.

Someone with precognition ends up seeing
the outcome just by looking at a and b.

Even though they don't know their faces,
names, or even the motive, for that matter.

What's up with that?

If they can see the outcome for no
reason, then it's not seeing the future.

It's nothing but intuition.

Hey, don't lump it together
with your sixth sense, shiki.

Listen up.

To put it simply, they're
people who "don't forget.”

They record all "the information they've
acquired via sight,” without deleting a thing.

And...

When all that information
is organically blended,

they visually see the
outcome that it all leads to.

Precognition is nothing more than
high-level information processing.

They are not seeing "the
future several minutes later.”

But rather, they're only seeing "the outcome
several minutes later" that becomes reality.

But he's different, you know.

He's not seeing anything.

If he's seeing the future under no
assumptions, it can't be called precognition.

That's not a privileged
act - it's overstepping.

Bottom line, there are two
kinds of precognition, right?

Touko, what's the difference
between prediction and calculation?

Let's see...

In terms of which is more
useful, I'd go with calculation.

That would be more dangerous
in the hands of a criminal.

On the other hand, prediction is
the one humans should strive for,

and the one that's
compatible with shiki ryougi is...

It's a waste of time, batting
around these what-ifs.

That's all I'm going to
say about precognition.

Boss, what should we do if we
run into someone with precognition?

If they are ones with predictive
precognition, you can just leave them alone.

If someone gives
them sound advice,

they can adapt relatively well to society.

No matter what they
may see in the future

it's still up to them to
choose the present, after all.

Thank you for your Patience.

In other words, calculation
accumulates the future,

whereas prediction reads the future.

And you, shizune, it would appear
that you are the prediction type.

So you can rest easy.

It's delicious today, too!

You can tell me that it's just
that I have a good memory...

But it's not sinking in.

If you thought about it all the
time, it'd be dangerous.

I'll bet that in your daily life,
your precognition abilities...

Are cut off to keep
them from interfering.

Excuse me! Can I get this same
orange and sunflower pie, too?

So anyway, I've said a lot,

but there's just one thing
that I can say to you.

Wh-what would that be?

It's not as if you're that unique.

Just being able to see the future isn't
something you should brood about, is it?

You can only say that
because you can't see it.

People who can't see have
no idea how I feel...

Thank you for waiting.

Actually, I can see the
future just a little.

Huh?

Shizune will order
the orange pie

ee a a

shizune will order
the orange pie

well, yes, but...

Please don't mock me!
This is just a wild guess!

Anyone can guess the future
if they just think about it.

What I'm talking about is the
unchangeable and what becomes reality.

If you mean the fixed future,

then that man from before
wouldn't be the case, right?

You're right. He was saved, wasn't he?

Thanks to you, shizune.

My prediction is a far cry from yours,
but the action itself is the same.

You're just thinking of the
future as anyone would.

You just said so yourself.

"Anyone can guess the future
if they just think about it."

Every one of us lives with
an eye on the future.

There isn't anybody who
doesn't dream about the future.

The future that I saw
has always been tragic.

Does that mean...

Yes. The future that you see
must be some kind of warning.

The kind that says, "do your best,
so you'll have no regrets."

But setting that aside for now,

knowing what's going to be
on tests... that can't be...

What you can see is three
days into the future, right?

In that case, just think about
something even further ahead.

I know it's hard not to peek,

but just think of it as the cost
of having special eyes.

It would be a waste to fix them.

You win.

You look gentle, but
you're actually quite strict.

Um... would you mind if I kept that
business card to commemorate today?

Huh? Not that you'll find any
use for my business card.

But hey, I guess that's true
of any business card.

by the way, you were
just the tiniest bit off.

Shame on me.

I never thought you'd
pick a challenging item.

Mikiya's precognition lacked
the part about a sunflower.

Just like this, having such
limits is a human twist.

Hello.

Or should I say, how
do you do, Ms. ryougi?

I don't know about that.

You've been watching me from close
range numerous times, haven't you?

Of course not.

All I do is set off bombs.

Even now, I'm speaking to
you from a far off apartment.

Not only do you have strange
taste, but you're a liar, too?

Whatever. Anyway,
what do you want?

Your life is in danger,

and you're not going
to ask me "why?"

If I ask, are you
going to answer?

I have no interest in you.

If you keep this up any longer,
I will just flick away a hovering insect.

You're so sure of yourself.
I didn't foresee that answer.

You'll die. You're
going to die for sure.

You'll be caught in a
bomb blast and die.

Well, I'm still alive now.

This is a predetermined event.

You see, I have the ability to
see everything in the future.

The future that I happen
to see can never change.

I see. Your precognition is
that type of precognition?

It's the same as
a calculus equation.

Once you fill it with numbers,
there's no altering the answer.

Look, do you enjoy that?

Who knows?

I haven't had what you can call a
will of my own for nearly six years.

This provoking me - is that a game?

I don't have time for that.

You saw my face.

I'm going to deal with you
as a stranger located far from you.

What a lame lie.

You're right nearby, aren't you?

I told you I wasn't.

No, it wouldn't make sense
if you weren't here.

If the future you see is a visual like a
movie, then you need to be a camera.

To be right there on-site,

that's a condition of your
type of precognition.

The past three times that you tried
to kill me, you weren't nearby.

That's why you failed.

Now I've finally found you.

Here it comes. All because she survived
that bridge. Now I can finally...

Fifteen minutes from now.
The parking garage...

There...!

Hey. I've caught up with
you, serial bomber.

N-no way! Impossible...

Can you hear me, serial bomber?

If you're not seeing anything,
you don't need that eye, do you?

If it was a mere prediction, you
could've killed me off in a second.

This goes without saying,

but in your case,
you saw too clearly.

Why?

How did that future change?

It's not that it changed.

There never was any
future to begin with.

You can't meddle in
something that doesn't exist.

Predicting the future means
seeing a possible outcome.

Whereas future calculation

removes all choices, and limits
what that outcome may be.

It's an abnormal power that
trumps future prediction.

But...

The future is invincible
because of its uncertainty.

Still, if it were given a shape,
of course it could break, right?

Your future was more
vivid than a spiral screw.

The moment you gave
the outcome a clear shape,

your future hit a dead end.

See you, serial bomber.

What's this? You...

Hey! Let's go!

Right!

Welcome back! Did
anything interesting happen?

I'm back, Naomi.

What? You can tell it's me?

Of course!

So how'd it go?

Hmm, nothing interesting happened,
but there was one novel thing.

I experienced heartbreak
for the first time in my life.

Wait, heartbreak? You
mean that heartbreak?

The thing is, before I got home,
I had this brief encounter.

Oh, I did get you
what you asked for.

Want me to bring it to you now?

Oh... hey, sorry.

I kind of got my hands
on some another way.

Forget that. Tell me
about your heartbreak!

Let's talk about
your heartbreak, seo!

We've been here
for a while, huh?

Should we head out now?

Thank you very much.

Um... "It's not unusual
to have precognition..."

You said that you knew
someone who had it...

Is that your girlfriend
you mentioned?

Excuse me?

Uh, well... I don't
know about that...

Wow. By any chance,
were you able to see that?

Please hear me out,
and don't get mad.

Um...

If you go on seeing this person,

eventually, you'll lose your life.

I see.

Thanks, shizune.

But I'm not going to ask
you to go into more detail.

It's scary, but if I hear about it,

I don't think I'll be able to do what's
important when the time comes.

He said he was more afraid of
trying to run away than his own fate.

Seeing such strength, I was filled with respect
and yearning from the bottom of my heart.

Even if it was just an hour-long encounter,
it was irreplaceable guidance for me.

And that's all she wrote about
my first-ever heartbreak!

Hey, seo, I don't know
how to say this, but...

That's not love.

You don't think so, either?

Nope! That was just
yearning on your part!

Love is more, like,
daring and unsightly...

And on top of that,
it's so unpredictable...

It's like a rollercoaster ride
headed for either collision or the goal...

To be blunt, you're never left
with any beautiful memories, and...

What do you want?

Nothing. You just seem
to be having such fun.

Hey, will you let me join in?

Nice to meet you!

Wait. Are you Ms. seo by any chance?

Great! You've saved me
the trouble of going to greet you.

Hey, hold up! What's the big
idea, barging in like that?

Well, where's the harm? Can't I say
hello to my new roommate, as of today?

Over the next year...
No, for even longer...

The day I met my bestie,
who would one day lead reien

was the last night
of summer vacation.

That's a full account
of my summer.

I still see the future as usual,

1 still see the future as usual,

I got suspended... me too and though it's not as if
anything's changed, or that anything's been resolved,

and though it's not as if anything's
changed, or that anything's been resolved,

I'm trying not to brood
as much as possible.

Like the smile that
Mr. kokutou showed me,

I've got to believe in my current self,
or a blissful future will never come.

For someone like me, who
cheats with precognition,

it's only natural that I assume
the responsibilities of a cheater.

Even so, the reason I was able to
accept these eyes without revulsion

was because I believed that
I could do good for someone else.

I'm going to be positive,
just like that wish.

So hot...

Recalled out summer-prelude
August, 2010

It's not as if I particularly
yearned to be like a human.

It's just that the city glittered so.

It might be a strange analogy,
but I'm like the ink that records.

As if competing with the
scattering cherry blossoms,

there's a great flower in the night sky.

Here it is, springtime...

What should I do? I'll be expelled.
What should I do? I'll frighten them.

In the end, from the man's eyes...

A single tear...

Oh! Mitsuru!

I thought you were out!

I was up on the roof.

Is that right?

Then I've wasted my time.
I should've gone up there, too.

You've got to be kidding me.

Then it wouldn't be a break.

You're cranky again
today, aren't you?

After I went to the trouble of ditching
lessons, and brought you a job.

How many times have I told
you not to ditch cram school?

Are you that hell-bent on killing me?

Seriously, young miss mana.

Mitsuru, I don't approve of
you calling me "young miss."

This is an order,

but I think you should call me "mana"
like you did when we first met.

Sorry, but I can't humor you.

I'm not into being bossed
around by a ten-year-old.

Your virtue is that you have the
speech and mannerisms of a hoodlum.

I do like it when people speak plainly!

It was two years ago.

I was drowning in debt,

and it had reached the point where 1
was being grilled by my creditors.

The problem was, the creditors'
boss was the local proxy.

Mainly with ties to
a crime syndicate.

That was the problem.

Tears of the vampire

you're the author,
Mr. kamekura, are you not?

It's an honor to meet you!

This child, mana, was the
boss's only daughter.

I managed to escape death
by agreeing to join them.

This is most opportune.

As it happens, we need our
own private investigation firm.

You're good at that, aren't you?

What? You write picture books for a living?

Fine.

I'll allow you to
hold down a side job.

Anyway, mana, what's this
job from the syndicate?

To investigate suspicious
characters who appear in the area,

and clear them out
immediately, they said.

I don't want to brag, but
I can't take on jock types.

Apparently, the person is an
ordinary, unsuccessful fortune-teller.

She said they once did her a favor,
so... huh? Oh it's the other way.

So they want us to look
after her till the end.

A fortune-teller at this address?

I'm speechless.

So that granny"s still alive?

Investigation target name: Unknown job: Fortune-teller age:
Approximately 60 years old so that granny's still alive?

Investigation target

do you know her?

I did years and years ago.

Back then, she was famous for being a
fortune-teller who was almost always right.

Oh, this person.

It says that her specialty
is predicting the future,

but is that true?

Yeah. Most fortune-tellers are fakes,

but that granny
was the real deal.

Tears of the vampire

What a surprise. Grownups
are all night owls, I see.

Mana, it's this way.

Don't leave my side.

Welcome.

Care to stop by for a bit?

Young man?

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

Nice to meet you, Ms. fortune-teller!

Um, will you take me on,
even if I'm a minor?

My. What a sweet
voice I'm hearing.

Of course I will.

What do you want to know about?

Don't be shy, all right?

My services are free of charge
for any girl, no matter who they are.

Will you divine the love
between daddy and me?

Well, there's no need to divine that.

Your love is mutual.

But it'll be a bit difficult to
achieve anything deeper. Ethically.

Yes!

My goal is to defeat mother
someday, and win back daddy!

The mother of mifune sure
has fallen to earth.

Does this mean that it's no longer
fashionable to evade misfortune?

I was wondering who you
were. How nostalgic.

We're in the same line
of business, remember?

No - perhaps I should say that
we were in the same line of business.

What a surprise. And I'll bet
you can hardly see anymore.

I'm talking about
myself, not about you.

I've gotten old, you see. It's been ages
since I could see other people's futures.

You mean you can't
see the future?

That's right, I can't see it anymore.

Not anything bright...

Well, that is a weight
off my shoulders.

So it's come to this in
the last ten years, huh?

Some friendly advice...
Just pack it in.

Nobody wants to see a bleak
future or a shabby past.

The romance that could be glimpsed in pure
hope vanished somewhere along the line.

You were... how should I put it?

You've been left behind by this era.

Oh? And how about you, then?

Have you changed in the last ten years?

Me?

I've...

Yeah, right. Lame as it is,
I haven't really changed.

I don't know about you, but
I'm not even harmful anymore.

I'm still the same screw-up of a thug.

That's not true!

You're a good person! Have
more confidence in yourself!

Well, I'm honored
to hear that, but...

What are you basing that on?

What do you mean?
Because you're so like daddy!

Like how unassuming you are...

How you don't have
the use of one eye...

And how you can't
say no to women.

I happen to be very good
at using people like that.

You're laughing way too hard, granny.

You're old. Try to consider your age!

Oh, my, it's so worth
it to live long!

The boy I knew has become
so human after all these years.

Hey... the last ten years have
been good to you, eh?

Anyway, it inconveniences us for
you to conduct business here.

Next time, the scary guys
will be paying you a visit.

You need to retire
before that happens.

Oh, mind your own business.

I've been in this business
since before you were born.

And I'm going to see
it through to the end!

Let's go, mana.

My job is done here now.

The rest is up to the syndicate.

Wait!

I think I heard something strange.

Why do you continue
to tell fortunes, ma'am?

When your life is easier, now that
you can't see the future anymore.

I wonder why myself.

Now that you mention it,
all I experienced was pain.

Let's see...

I guess it's like... other than
serving someone else,

it has no other use.

In the past, my life was
changed by a certain girl.

Thanks to her, I was released
from my predetermined fututre.

What I got in return was
a life strewn with failure...

Tears of the vampire

tears of the vampire
ssrstsasiaessamseniaaaa nn

tears of the vampire

I was still left with something.

Listen, mitsuru, I have
a favor to ask of you.

I'll hear you out, but that's it.

Tell me what it is.

I believe the fortune-teller's
work is a magnificent thing.

This city needs the
mother of mifune.

Or rather, I really like her a lot!

Falling in love with everyone
in the world is a bad habit of yours.

So, what am I supposed to do?

Asking for an answer you
already know is a bad habit of yours.

Do you still want me
to put it into words?

That won't be necessary.

If you put it into actual words,
it'll only weigh heavier on me.

Pulling a fast one on mana's
mother would be impossible,

so I'll have to risk my
life talking her into it.

Her business might not take off,
but I'll at least drum some up for her.

That's what "looking after
her till the end' means.

But will the granny even agree to this?

I'm just going to do
my thing the way I want.

See? She's brimming
with motivation herself.

You can resolve any trivial
problem with your glasses on, right?

Hey!

- Or...
- Hey!

Should I call you "kuramitsu”
on such occasions?

Look, you...

I don't want you to utter
that name if you can.

It happened ten years ago.

There was a person who
could only choose a certain future

because he was able to
see a successful future.

Somewhere along the line, that man had
become a slave in service of his own future.

The man became a
robotic serial bomber,

and at the site of the
parking garage bombing,

he was murdered by
a certain maniacal killer.

The parking garage blast
produced two casualties.

One, a man who sustained
minor injuries protecting his family...

And the other...

While he wasn't caught
in the explosion,

a fourteen-year-old boy who injured his right
eye, for some reason, and lost his sight.

Meruka kuramitsu...

No0 longer exists.

Well, it's more rewarding to
assemble something rather than destroy it.

It's settled, then!

Please rest assured, ma'am.

He still lacks ambition,

but when he turns defiant,
mitsuru is so reliable!

Wait.

I know the name of
that young man there,

but I haven't heard yours yet.

I'm mana ryougi.

You marvelous fortune-teller...

You once did mother...

No...

You once did father a good turn.

Ah, is that right?

Something like this
really happens, huh?

Take care of yourself.

Well, not that I need to tell you that.

You, too. Please take care.

Please be well.

And please live your
life as you wish.

Let's go, mitsuru!

You'll have to start by
convincing mother, won't you?

Right from the get-go,
that's the biggest hurdle.

The story in which I played the
main role ended ten years ago

but it looks like I still
have a bit part to play.

The story continues.

The path ahead is filled
with hope and anxiety.

Although it's indistinct,
I surely can see that with my eye.

Midnight dates.

Late-night strolls.

The killer you run into at the crossroads.

If I were to disappear,
she could live in bliss.

It's not as if I'm
afraid to die or anything.

It's something else that scares me.

The blue sky during lunch break...

The sunset after school...

Stuff like that.

Welcome.

Care to stop by for
a bit, young man?

Oh? This should be interesting.

Tell me my fortune.

Come on, tell me the results.

How can I avoid
an unsavory future?

Well, so such a future
as this exists, as well.

It's no good.
You're going to die.

No matter what you do, do
as you will... you have no future.

I'm stunned.

So you're the real deal?

Sorry about that.

What is it? That's enough.

There's no light at the
end of the tunnel, right?

It's not like I'm hoping to be saved.

As a matter of fact, it's a relief.

This isn't a thank-you,

but I'll leave you here
without doing a thing.

That's not what this is about.

It's true that you're going
to die no matter what,

but how unusual is this? To
think that such a future exists?

Soon, you'll disappear.

There's only darkness ahead, and
the future is hopelessly bleak.

Nothing will remain,
and nothing will be saved.

And yet, how strange.

Your dreams will live on.

See you! Make sure you
live a long life, granny.

It's dangerous around here at night.

It's no place for the elderly.

Even so...

My dreams will live on, huh?

I see.

In that case... it's fine.

Still...

No light at the end of the tunnel...
That's just my style.
