Chapter 53: The Act
On Sunday, Masashi arrived as scheduled at the meeting place, a teahouse across from the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku.Shinjuku on weekends was even more crowded than usual, filled mostly with young people dressed fashionably. Led by a server, Masashi quickly found Aiko and her friends. The three girls looked pleased to see him—except for Aiko, who wore a displeased expression.“How do you expect to pass as my boyfriend dressed like that?”Masashi looked himself over and replied, “This is how I…-

Did that boy do something wrong? The nurse began to wonder.Maeda knocked on the door, and a lazy voice answered from inside, "Come in."He opened the door to find Masashi comfortably leaning back on…-

Chapter 50: Activation
Everything happened in an instant. All they saw was Masashi suddenly stand up, make a quick movement with his hand, and then deliver a swift kick to Maruo. Just like that, the infamous Tokyo Ripper lay motionless on the floor. The process was so simple and fast it felt almost surreal.“You must have been terrified. It’s over now,” Masashi gently stroked Kazumi and Rumi’s faces.The two girls stared at him, and tears began streaming down their faces.After he freed them, the two girls clung to Masashi,…-

Chapter 5: ○○ and ╳╳
Watanabe and Daiki began to laugh sinisterly.The three closed the door, and Yamamoto didn’t walk over immediately. Instead, he pulled a stocking from his pocket and put it over his head like a robber.“Hurry up and get the camera ready. I can't wait any longer,” Yamamoto said as he started taking off his clothes.By this point, Masashi already understood what they intended to do. They planned to record the assault to use as leverage later, a classic but effective tactic. However, the downside was that…-

Chapter 49: Solution
When it was Masashi’s turn, Maruo asked him, “Gennai, do you have any last words? You may not get another chance.”“I actually have two pieces of bad news for you,” Masashi replied, saying something that puzzled Maruo.“Oh? And what might that be?” Maruo was curious to see what tricks Masashi had up his sleeve.“The first bad news is that you might not get the chance to carry out that pointless ritual.”“What do you mean?” Maruo’s expression turned cold.“Can’t you hear it?”“Hear…-

Chapter 48: Existence
“There’s one thing I don’t understand—how did you know about me?” Masashi asked, as he had only ever shared this information with Maeda Ryutaro, making it unlikely that anyone else would know.“I don’t really need to answer that,” Maruo replied, adjusting his glasses, “but since the ritual can’t start until midnight, I suppose I can give you this as a parting gift.Actually, I didn’t know about you at first. But I have a very capable younger brother who often hacks into various systems.…-

Chapter 47: Deal
“It seems that Gennai is an atheist,” Maruo said, lightly adjusting his glasses.“Every day, people die in accidents—hit by cars, treated by incompetent doctors, struck by falling objects. Out of those who die in unfortunate circumstances, about one in ten is a follower of some religion. If gods can’t protect their believers any better than a mob boss can protect his underlings, why should I believe?”“I used to be an atheist like you, but I eventually became a believer—not in gods, but in…-

Chapter 46: Floor
"What exactly are you planning to do?" Masashi asked, looking at the man who was smiling the entire time."They may not know, but one person here should know what I intend to do—and that person is you, Gennai Masashi.""I don't know what you're talking about.""Is that so? Then maybe this will jog your memory."Maruo walked to the center of the room and pulled back a large canvas covering something on the floor.Masashi looked at the object on the ground and felt a chill run through his body."So, it was…-

Chapter 45: Dark Night
It felt like he had been asleep for a long time. Masashi slowly opened his eyes to find only darkness in front of him.Where was he? His head felt foggy, and he couldn’t remember anything.He soon realized that his hands were cuffed behind his back, his feet were also shackled, and his body was tied to a chair with ropes wrapped around him from his chest down.Was he being robbed, or was this a kidnapping?As Masashi’s eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could vaguely see several people sitting nearby,…-
