"A hidden room. and he meticulously planned for emergencies so that they could escape at any time. and twice at that." "For what reason would he go so far as to hide his son?" "We don't know." "Perhaps it had something to do with his secret research." "that nonsense in the report?" "you and I would be out of a job." "including the matter with the doctor's corpse." "it was proven that the corpse was indeed his." "the memories extracted from the doctor using the ME Squeezer contained only a day's worth." "How would you explain this?" "That both of these analyses are wrong?" "What is it?" "We just received this transmission." "It's from the SVR agent in Japan." "What?" "This was taken 26 hours ago." "In Tokyo." "Who are you waiting for?" "How?" "Why are you here?" "That's my question. but here you are during your off-time." "this place used to be a nest of dolls." "Were you looking for little Izanami?" "at least you had the discretion not to call your friend." "so it'd have caused a lot of trouble for your friend." "but you're being watched." "Wait..." "An observation ghost?" "there aren't any power lines here." "We took in all the know-hows after the astronomy department was shut down." "Now we even have Izanami." "Just what are they planning to do?" "Why are you telling me this?" "I'm in the same spot as you." "No important information is passed down to a grunt like me." "I want to know what the brass is planning." "How about it?" "Wanna work together?" "there's the CIA that you betrayed and the Russian organization too." "Getting out of Hokkaido won't be easy." "A transporter?" "For the underworld." "They'll show us a way if we pay them." "Can they be trusted?" "It's the same as dealing with an informant." "We'll help each other if our interests are the same." "That's how the world works." "Is it cold?" "what kind of greeting was that?" "There's one 200 meters ahead." "There's an inspection post up ahead." "Take a different route." "Is he a doll?" "Yeah." "then I don't think there's a route out of Hokkaido." "I'm sure they have everything under their control." "We'll need to think of a plan before we reach Hakodate." "It'll cost you that much more though." "but we have secured Izanami." "our opponents are the ones who tried to kill Izanami." "So their actions suggest." "We're still investigating where the information was leaked and the organization behind it." "Thank you." "Is the information on Izanagi's father being here already true?" "You hear things quickly." "It's proper etiquette to drink it all." "It was quite good. so we're still looking into it." "The appointed time recorded in the Mitaka documents isn't far off." "It seems that we must hurry while the moon is still gone." "Ikita's girl..." "Is your family well?" "I've never had a family." "I see." "I'll call you once I get it." "okay?" "Yeah." "How about a tattoo while you're at it?" "It'll make you more masculine." "No." "that looks great!" "All that's left is to take a photo and to put it on this." "You rented another weird car." "Dolls are surprisingly easy to distinguish." "The snowstorm's not letting up." "I can't believe this." "I'm stuck in Sapporo because of a snowstorm." "just find me a way back to Tokyo." "The Shinkansen has stopped too." "Maybe take a limited express train?" "there's no point in rushing." "That's inexcusable." "Civilians sure are carefree." "Is the girl with you a contractor?" "We also keep and train your precious contractors." "You aren't with the consulate?" "Allies." "We're with foreign affairs." "Have you heard about that little incident in Sapporo?" "not even which organizations were fighting." "Our investigation has lead us to believe that a Japanese agency was involved." "we received a witness sighting." "BK-201." "And two children." "We believe it's the doll and the girl mentioned in the report." "It's Suou." "There's a good chance that we'll find our target if we use them." "We have a capable contractor on the lookout for them." "don't you?" "Ilya Sokoloff." "What?" "That's a name I don't want to hear." "He certainly is a capable contractor though." "Enough to make me sick." "Excuse me." "Speak of the devil." "We've received some interesting information concerning a doll smuggling route." "eating that ice cream?" "you just ate an entire meal!" "Huh?" "A foreigner?" "H-Hello?" "Can you speak Japanese?" "What?" "Really?" "What were you drawing?" "What do you have in the back?" "A child's remains." "He had an accident after coming to visit Aomori by himself." "Where is the bereaved family?" "His father and sister are in the car behind me." "They came to bring him home." "I'm sorry for your loss." "May I take a look inside the coffin?" "Eight..." "Ten..." "It's all there." "I promised to take you to Sendai as part of our deal." "you'll need to board the Cassiopeia at 4:30 in the morning." "I'm sure that the patrols will be slack." "you can go to a local station and switch trains." "Can I let July out for a bit?" "so he'll have to get back in." "Leave him there." "he is a doll." "You can open your eyes." "Don't you feel lonely in there?" "You should say something if there's something on your mind." "What are you doing?" "Doesn't it hurt?" "It does." "Then you should say so." "Sorry." "What's going on?" "A flat tire?" "you say?" "Yeah." "huh?" "She was after July from the start." "We have to go after them!" "Go after them?" "For July?" "Well..." "Got attached to him?" "I need him to use my ability." "It's a waste of time." "I don't want you to use your ability either." "Why?" "Why are you so cold hearted towards July?" "He's just a doll." "you were so..." "So..." "Shut up." "you'll need hers... we don't even know where they're going." "July!" "There's July's observation ghost!" "He's asking for help!" "Impossible!" "Hey!" "Wait!" "Dammit!" "I can't take my eyes off you! but I couldn't tell how he was feeling." "That's because he's a doll." "I think he's really lonely though." "Lonely?" "otherwise he wouldn't have sent out his observation ghost." "I'm sure that fragments of our feelings still remain." "Whether we're dolls or contractors." "July!" "we're getting off at the next stop." "We'll switch to another car." "I'm sure that they'll treat you well." "Little boy dolls are really popular." "That must be the place." "He's gone." "We can get in from there." "Go scout." "Me?" "aren't you?" "what a slave driver!" "I guess I should say animal driver." "Take in your surroundings!" "Anything can be used as a weapon!" "Hey!" "What the heck is he doing?" "I need to get her away from July." "Do you think you can distract her by making some noise?" "but you're going to do it with that?" "The police might come if I use my gun." "huh?" "let's do this!" "Who's there?" "Is someone there?" "What?" "What's going on?" "Enough!" "Stop!" "I said stop!" "Hurry up and get July!" "Are you okay?" "Dealing half-heartedly with a doll is dangerous." "Every country wants a capable ghost medium." "So managers of doll smuggling organizations are connected with intelligence agencies." "doesn't it?" "It's like a brain narcotic." "and then you'll start feeling sleepy." "you won't be able to breathe." "I've been looking for you." "What are you doing?" "Let me go!" "That was close." "So you're a contractor too." "Let us go then." "Stop!" "Oh?" "So this squirrel is a contractor too?" "A squirrel?" "I'm a cat!" "right now I'm..." "You're coming with me too." "July..." "Have a look. because they can die in a blissful dream." "How long has it been since you've had a dream?" "I'm asking how long you've been a contractor." "You still don't understand that you are one?" "I was saved from having to dream." "The women I killed showed up in them often." "I killed them in horrible ways." "The exact opposite of how I kill now." "I found joy in seeing suffering." "You beast!" "I don't want to be called that by an animal." "I stopped killing irrationally." "because I'm a contractor." "Don't you find it ironic?" "doesn't it?" "Now die." "Watch out!" "What?" "How did you find this place?" "Did you contact the informant?" "considering your situation?" "thank July." "July!" "Are you okay?" "Were you hurt?" "A bump?" "Ow." "Thanks." "Up already?" "Get ready." "you have to get there early to lay an ambush." "I will never forget the glimmer on that summer day. your blond hair bouncing in a spray of water." "We can never go back to that day."
