[Yesterday was really troublesome.]
[The job was supposed to be simple this time.]

[The commissioners were a group of young people that are part of a gang.]
[They said that a member had been kidnapped.]

[The culprit was a black company, who treated humans like objects.]
[The job merely required me to hurt them, and retrieve the victim unharmed.]

[And yet, the second I show them a little sympathy, they hit me with a car.]
[Luck has not been with me.]

[!!?]

SFX: crash

Pg.74

SFX: screeeech

SFX: Brr...

SFX: click...

Izaya: Hey, deliverer.

Izaya: Do you believe in an afterlife?

Pg.75

Izaya: I don't think it exists.

Izaya: That's why I'm scared to die, to be honest.
Izaya: I want to live as long as possible.

Izaya: What about you, deliverer?

Izaya: Consider this question a part of work, and answer me.

[You'll know if you die.]

Izaya: Hmm?

Izaya: If I died, I don't think I'd even exist to find that out.
Izaya: Which means, you believe in it, huh?

Izaya: Well, anyway.
Izaya: I'll just do as I please.
SFX: click x3

[By work, you want me to deliver these people, right?]
SFX: show

Pg.76

Izaya: Yes.
Izaya: Just plop them on a park bench somewhere.

Izaya: I would've dragged them off to a bunch of loan firms, // but I've gotten tired of them.
Izaya: And I wouldn't make much of a profit anyway.

Izaya: If I do anything more, I know the police and mobsters will try to hunt me down. // This is a hobby, not work.

Izaya: So, please take care of...

Izaya: -that.
SFX: scrape

Izaya: There are two things I'm interested in right now.

Izaya: One:
SFX: flick
Izaya: The team I hear so much about lately, called "Dollars".

Izaya: And the second, the identity of the deliverer that always wears a helmet and never speaks.
SFX: flick
Izaya: The one who wields a pitch black scythe like a Shinigami {Death God}.

SFX: Brr...

Izaya: Tell me,
Izaya: who exactly are you?

Pg.77

[-Tanaka Taro has entered the chatroom-]

[Tanaka Taro: Good evening~]
[Setton: Evening~]
[Tanaka Taro: Um, do you know of someone named Orihara Izaya? A friend of mine told me not to get involved with him.]
[Setton: .......... Is your friend one of those types?]
[Tanaka Taro: Huh? No no. He's a normal guy...]

[Setton: I see, sorry about that. It's true that you shouldn't get involved with Orihara Izaya though. He's dangerous.]
[-Kanra has entered the chatroom-]
[Kanra: Good evening☆ You're in Tokyo aren't you, Tanaka Taro-san? Let's do an offline meeting sometime~]
[Tanaka Taro: Ah, you don't have to feel obliged to. Though, an offline meeting might be fun.]
[Kanra: Yeah, By the way, you know how there are suicide offline meetings?]
[Tanaka Taro: Ah, they were popular a while back. You meet people online to die with, right?]

Pg.78

[Tanaka Taro: But I don't hear much news about it these days.]
[Setton: Either people have gotten bored of it, or it's so common that it doesn't even make the news anymore.]
[Kanra: Or maybe they haven't found the bodies yet☆]
[Setton: Sorry, I have to go now.]
[Kanra: Okay, take care!]
[Tanaka Taro: Good night.]

[Kanra: There seems to be a lot of disappearances lately.]
[Tanaka Taro: Do you see news about that?]
[Kanra: Well, there seems to be a good number of illegal immigrants and run away kids in Shibuya and Ikebukuro.]
[Tanaka Taro: Tokyo really is scary... Could it be that the black biker abducted them...?]
[Kanra: I also hear rumors that it's the work of the group "Dollars".]
[Tanaka Taro: Dollars!]

Pg.79

SFX: clack

Kishitani: Oh, you're here. // Welcome back,

Kishitani: Certy.

SFX: tap x3
SFX: close
SFX: step

[Good to be back.]

Kishitani: By the way, // When humans stare at the computer for too long, their eyes get tired.
Kishitani: What about you?
Certy: How should I know?

Kishitani: Then,
Kishitani: will you let me perform an autopsy on your body?
Kishitani: I might be able to figure out how your body operates, with a thorough autopsy.

Pg.80

SFX: slam
SFX: clack x4
Kishitani: !?
Certy: No way in hell!
SFX: jab
SFX: flomp
Certy: You swore that would be your first and last time!!

Kishitani: I was joking.
Kishitani: I didn't mean it, Certy.

Kishitani: As a doctor... // Or in my case, an illegal doctor?
Kishitani: It intrigues me.

Kishitani: I wonder what the world looks like // to someone who had no eyes, like yourself.

SFX: clatter
Certy: I can't make others see
Certy: what I don't even understand myself.
SFX: tap x3

Pg.81

Kishitani: But you have a sense of vision, sound, and even smell,
Kishitani: when it's unclear if you have a brain in this current state.

Kishitani: This is just my guess, but-

Kishitani: The "shadow" that flows ceaselessly from your body...
Kishitani: Say that this mysterious SF substance is projected outwards // and bounces back, picking up vital information.
Kishitani: Like a radar.

SFX: yak x3
Kishitani: Or if not that, the shadow itself serves as your senses, and picks up molecules of light, and vibration, and smell...
SFX: turn
SFX: tap x5

Certy: I have no interest in complicated things.

Kishitani: Certy... // You know right?

Kishitani: That my interest in the matter as a doctor is all a front.
Kishitani: I just want to feel what your world is like.

Kishitani: Not just your vision.
Kishitani: I want to know your morals too.

Kishitani: I want to know what you, "Durahan", the headless Knight that materialized in this town,
Kishitani: sees in this world.

Pg.82

[Durahan.]

[A headless Knight on a carriage driven by a headless horse, who rides in search of people on their deathbeds.]
[You're are like someone from a myth.]

Certy: I am aware of what I am, but the only memory I have of myself, is my name.
Certy: You know that.
Certy: It all began 20 years ago after I lost my head.
Kishitani: Yes.

[And you have been wandering since then, in search of your head.]

[You followed the vague sense of your "neck", and found yourself in Japan.]
[You even changed shape for this sake alone.]

Pg.83

SFX: stand
Kishitani: For ages...

Kishitani: we've all heard countless stories of headless hunters in search for their heads.

Kishitani: Like the legend that was created into a movie called "Sleepy Hollow".

Kishitani: What if, in fact,

Kishitani: that was you too?

SFX: tap tap tap
Certy: What's your point?

Kishitani: Nothing much. // I just thought you must've had a tough day today.
SFX: tap x3
Certy: Oh! // Ah, sorry. I still haven't reported my work to you yet.

Certy: ... and it was an easy commission, considering it was from Orihara Izaya.
Kishitani: Was that all?
Certy: ?

Kishitani: I'm sure that's not what kept you out for so long.

SFX: tap x3

Pg.84

Kishitani: You were out searching for your head tonight too.

SFX: clatter
Certy: What's wrong with that?!
SFX: tap x3
Certy: I sense that my head is somewhere in this town...

[I know it's here, in Ikebukuro!!]
SFX: bam

Kishitani: But you know, Certy...

Kishitani: It's been 20 years.

Kishitani: You are elusive, and very unique.
Kishitani: But at this rate, I can say for certain that your hopes are a long ways off.

Kishitani: How long do you intend to follow something as vague as a "sense"...?
SFX: tap x3
Certy: What's with you today, Shinra? You seem-

Pg.85

[You seemdrftgyfjklp:@"]
SFX: thunk

Kishitani: I'll be blunt with you.

Kishitani: Give it up.

Kishitani: So what if you can't find your head?
Kishitani: Let's go somewhere together.

Kishitani: For your sake, I'll do whatever it takes to return you to your home.
Kishitani: And together, with me-

Pg.86

SFX: thwack

SFX: tap x4

SFX: slam

SFX: kachack

[I have no intention of giving up.]

SFX: sigh

Kishitani: Fine. // I get it. You really are obstinate...
SFX: fwump
SFX: sigh...
Kishitani: But Certy, // violence doesn't suit you.
SFX: splash

Pg.87

Kishitani: You're a girl, after all.
