Chapter One
Heads That Roll Under the Moon
Act 1

164)
1(2b): Isn't this flower field beautiful? It took much time to raise it to how it is now--
2(2b): I first found a spot in the deep thicket by the river that doesn't commonly fall under the human eye -- and then gathered flowers little by little.
3: I changed the soil out late at night, sneaking around so that no one would see me, and added fertilizer...
4(2b): It took many days, but finally, this flower bed was completed -- no one found out, and no one has seen it.
5: It's my exclusive secret -- my "Secret Garden--"

165)
1: And you're the first one--
2: I've ever brought here--

166)
1: You're the first--
2: You're--
3: the first--
4: --that's good

167)
1(2b): You'll make a fine--revengeful ghost

168)
1(2b): You're so beautiful, darling.
2: What a big, beautiful full moon--
3: It's so large it seems unnatural--

6: Second son: Michikane
7: Third son: Michinaga
8: Kaneie Family Head
9: The masking...had a nightmare--
10: I had Master Ryougen perform a ceremony so that the dream would not come true...
11: but it seems that everything turned out unfavorably...

171)
1: Is the reason that Master Yasumasa was not called here
2: --because of "it?!"
3(2b): Here is this morning's paper. It was already shown on the news, so you already know, don't you?!
paper: Another headless corpse found
4(2b): The first time this happened, one of the guards heard a scream coming from the vault.
5: Apparently "Bakuya" cried.
6: And again yesterday--
7(2b): "It" stole the "Mikenshaku." --and "Bakuya" was crying out of sympathy.
8: The masking says that "this is the beginning"--
9: That "this voice is the devil's battle cry"--

1: The legally-incorporated Midou Academy
2: contains approximately 500 students -- who receive all their education from preschool up to university within this building.
3: It possesses numerous types of schools aside from the standard education schools, including "private study halls," and has aligned its curriculum and textbooks perfectly to that of public institutions.
4: When a student finishes high school, they go off to a first-rate university with the "help of the academy."
5: Tokyo University, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, etc.
6: And the mother body of it all is the great conglomerate said to control half of Japan's wealth, the Mochizuki Group.
7: It is not called an elite school, but a "Ruler's school."

174)
1(2b): Ahh, there's another, another!!
2: What?! What are you talking about?!
3: You rarely see someone dressed in a Midou uniform around town!!
4: Today must be my lucky day!
5: What, do they move in packs?!
6(2b): Look, look, Tsumugi! This is such a precious sight!!
7(2b): Hey, that remins me, Tsumugi, you took the exam to get into Midou's high school, didn't you?!
8: ...what about it?!
9(2b): Ah...sorry, I didn't mean anything about it. But what kind of test was it?!
10: Y-yeah, we could never get into that high a level, so...
11: ...hmph.
12: It was just a normal test.

175)
1(2b): I got 98% on the paper test. The interview went great too, I even got the interviewer to laugh about my study abroad story...
2: I really want to ask them why I didn't get in!
3: Ah...ahahahaha
4(2b): There's some weird way they let people in there. Some other method.
5(2b): Maybe it's bribes, or connections...

3: just took a picture of one of our students, didn't you?!

177)
1: Sorry, but we can't have that.
2: Many of our students come from highly-esteemed families...
3: There is an extremely high chance that letting that picture go around could be connected to some sort of criminal activity.
4: I know you may have worked hard to take that picture,
5: and we're sorry, but would you mind deleting it?
6(2b): ..s, sure.
7: It's so weird--
8: to see them carrying bamboo swords like that...

178)
1: --wait a minute, that thing's curved!!
2: It's OBVIOUSLY not a BAMBOO sword!!!
3: Just what is that place, anyway?!
4: How extraterritorial do they think they can be?!
5: Hey, you.
6(2b): Yeah, you. Hurry up and delete the photo.
7: ...I didn't take one.
8: I have nothing to delete.
9(2b): Don't underestimate us, you idiot!! Suetake saw you fiddling with your cell phone too!
10(2b): She's got amazing eyes, you know. She can tell a male zebra apart from a female zebra from 3km away.
11(2b): I'm not a Maasai, Sada-san. And not even they can distinguish gender.
12: Fine then, she can see a panty shot from 3km away.
13: In any case, Suetake saw you.
