Kuro: Look its that man who just passed us !
Girl: Kya!
Kotoko: Ohhh-- Its that guy!! // its Mr. Konishi... It can't be helped then ...
Girl: Pervert!!
Kuro: You know him? Kasuga-san (small: AssLover) [TN: play of words: Oshiriai can be read as acuaitance or as ass+love]
Kotoko: He's the doctor at the nearby womens hospital. / His hands and personality are amazing but he's a complete pervert... (small: It suits him though)
Kuro: Oh Oh ... is that so! / b-but ...


122
Kuro: I have a feeling that person might be a ghost.
Kotoko: HUH!!!!!?


123
Kotoko: .....
Konishi: wow ... never thought someone could see through my disguise♪ // It was.. Kuro right?! / Looking up to humans, trying to be a ghost doctor! // aren't you the weird one!
Kuro: I could say the same thing !
Kotoko: ... I still can't believe it ... // Konishi-sensei looks just like a normal person! // Seems like I have been in the hands of a ghost ever since birth.
Konishi: Are you shocked Kotoko?
Kotoko: Oh no not that at all!! just... a little surprised
Konishi: Actually there are quite many ghosts living int he human world.
Konishi: But you see..


124
Konishi: Lately the birth rate has dropped a lot, I barely make nay profit at all // I have started to think maybe I should close the clinic down! //I'm getting old you know [small] I have forgot how old [/] // well I can still wonder around the city and grope girls, the perv I am. [small] devoted until perfection[/small]
Kotoko: ... but still... I‘ts rather sad! // I have always loved the safe atmosphere here...// Sensei please don't give up...
Konishi: Kotoko-chan...
Kuro: Kotoko-san, // You see... actually ...
Kotoko: huh?
Konishi: oh? whats that? the office is closed today... a deliveryman perhaps? // I'll go have a look // Yes, yes


125
Man: Please save her! // My wife... She just suddenly lost consciousness in the car!! // She's pregnant ... please..
Konishi: I see, It'll be OK! / Lets carry her in
Man: Oh, Thank you so much!
Kuro: wait!!
Konishi: Kuro-kun
Kuro: Konishi-sensei.. I think you already know.. // You're already...
Konishi: What would you do in my place?


126
Kuro: ...!!
Kotoko: Gokokuji-kun, what happened? ...
Kotoko: .... I'll help
Konishi: Thank you // She seems to be stable now. // But this is definitely a dangerous case. / If we don't take the baby out quick the mothers life might be in danger also.
Man: B But my wife is still only 7 months pregnant!? // Finally on our 10th year of marriage we were able to conceive a child and yet.. / still...
Konishi: The father shouldn't cry, / the baby will feel anxious.
Man: Sensei...
Konishi: Just leave it to me


127
Konishi: Do you know // what people call me ?
Konishi: " Konaki-jiji" !! [TN: baby cry-old man] // The old man who has the newborn baby's first cry!
Kuro: .... // (just as I thought...)


128
[empty box]
Kotoko: I looked into it a little.. // "Konaki-jiji" is quite famous ghost even in the human world // They live in the mountains and make a sound that is similar to human child's cry. // It makes humans pity them and then the ghost clings to them without the intention of letting go.. Slowly their body starts to get heavy like a stone.. // In the end It'll get too heavy and the human dies.. // Other similar stories are for example "Gogyanaki", "Ubalion", "Oppyo Ishi" etc.
Kuro: ...
Kotoko: There are many legends about people wavering under heavy weights
Kuro: .. thats not the end of the story. // Its said that if you are able to sustain the weight-load they put on you , then you'll be rewarded with wealth and immense strength. // Some stories also say that if it attaches himself on the back of a honest person it'll turn into pure gold instead of stone. // Also, in Tokushima prefecture they believed that if you want to have a child but can't then in the mountains "Konaki-jiji" can help you out // You mentioned that all the kids Konishi has helped to deliver have had a "secure" life
Kotoko: mmm ... well everyone says so


129
Kuro: perhaps... // there is some connection to the "Konaki-jiji" powers
Kotoko: ..p...powers? // .. you mean ..
Kuro: He is attached on them
Kotoko: !!
Konishi: You said it right, Kuro-kun
Konishi: Should had expected it from a ghost doctor
Kotoko: Konishi Sensei!
Konishi: Ehh... My bad, making you check up on them from time to time // ...ah.. // I even left the cleaning up up to you
Kotoko: Doctor... how is it attached? // What are the "Konaki-jiji"'s powers? // Gokokuji, if you know, tell me !!


130
Konishi: You could say .. // I am testing the strength of the baby
Kotoko: Testing?
Konishi: yes, testing. // I let one little pice of me / go inside the belly and attach it to the baby. // Its a test of strength. // Can sustain the weight or not
Kuro: T-To the embryo?
Kuro: Thats absurd!
Konishi: Thats right. / Its unexpected to the embryo and will cause some instability // It'll feel great pain
Kotoko: THats horrible!!!


131
Konishi: but none of the children gave up
Kotoko: !
Konishi: Pain and struggle. / They fight back... In the end // it gets absorbed into their flesh...
Kotoko: Oh! // ( in other words, the weight turns into strength.. like a transfer / "Kokaki-jiji"'s strength.. // thats where the babies get their strength // I also.. / was born the same way... )


132
Kuro: Doctor, // I have to insist you stop!
Kotoko: huh?
Kuro: Your body is already shattering // You're at your bare minimum, losing even one more pice of your body, / your body won't be able to sustain! // even if you are a ghost of the will of life
Kotoko: (That.. // That means ... / he'll die...? )
Konishi: I wish I could do that // I just can't abandon that couple


133
Konishi: The other hospitals methods aren't that accurate // but I can definitely save them // ....
Kuro: Why?! / Why are you pushing yourself that far..!?
Konishi: Kuro-kun, // out of all you're one questioning me? // Why did you become a Ghost doctor? / Why are you doing something you get no profit from?
Kuro: ..!
Konishi: Why are you continuing even if it takes away your soul, / without gaining anything? // I am sure that // my answer would be the same as yours..


134
Konishi: (Seems like .. // they didn't come today after all // oh well... no need for sad farewells at least)
Man: Doctor!
Konishi: Hello, father to be!
Man: huh? are you alone?
Konisji: Don't Worry! just be there to look after your wife // The end will be a little bit shocking but please try not to worry about it


135
Kotoko: wait up!// Please let me help also!! // I'll anything in my power to help!
Konihi: Kotoko-chan... // ... // ..thank you. // (during this operation I'll disappear)


136
[Konishi: This ghost that I am // The killer ... always thought I could only cause pain // when did it change?] // (Feeling lonely every day / attacking people... // Instead of killing people / first time to give them life ... // I wonder why now.. / above all I feel at peace... ) // Hey there, Baby! // I am Konaki-jiji.


137
People: what? // you want our blood? what the hell? // You must be kidding me
Kuro: If you won't give blood, maybe then just only one strand of hair!
People: thats gross~ [small] lets go quick [/]
Kuro: PLEASE WAIT! / The two of you were also born in the Konishi Clinic right? // He needs our help ! // I am begging you !
People: Konishi clinic~? I have no idea, I was still a baby when born

Konishi: is it scary?
Baby: ... mhmh..


139
Konishi: Its ok, / if you don't get born

Konishi: You know "to live" is much more heavy than this...
Baby: ... oh..?
Konishi: There are many things that hurt you
Baby: is that so .. ?
Konishi: There are many things that are difficult // This old man also.. // keeps wondering // why was he born // Sometimes it is not clear...
Kotoko: ... // Doctor Konishi...?
Baby: ( .... ) // I..

Baby: I..


140
Baby: ( I want to live... // even if it is difficult // even if it is painful // I want to be born // I want to born // I want to live
Flower: *blooming*
Baby: I want to live


141
Baby: I WANT TO LIVE!
Konishi: is that so ... // i see, I see // you're amazing!! // I could clearly see it right now!! // Its blooming.. // The flower of life is blooming !
Kotoko: (Doctor Konishi ...)
Konishi: That child will surprise you all

I know! // he's always smiling, right // he never seems to get older // is he still healthy? // or not? )
People: if you need it to save him then I'll help. / I'll give you my hair or blood, you can use it all. // I don't understand it throughly thou


147
Kuro: Doctor // I collected some flesh and blood from all the people you have delivered // or to say to who you left your pieces to // slowly little by little I was able to collect enough to bring you back on time...
Konishi: Nice job // (Long time ago .. I use to attack people. / What is my life.. what is my purpose ... //
Kuro: You think that way? // I don't agree // Thanks to you, I realised the answer // answer to // why do you keep doing this ..


148
Kuro: thats because // you like humans


149
People: Doctor! We were worried!? Are you sick? // please don't scare us like that! // What are we supposed to do if you left us! // worried // are you ok?
