Heroine

Our homeroom teacher has been killed.

The investigation revealed that he was,\Nhimself, a murderer who killed people

The investigation revealed that he was also a murderer who killed people in his garage.

in the garage of his family home.

In addition, I'm suspected of being both his accomplice and his killer.

And I'm suspected of being\Nhis accomplice, and furthermore,

It's the first time I've felt like this.

of being his killer.

Nothing could be more fun than this.

The feeling that I've never felt before...

Nothing... is more fun than this.

Kobayashi!

Please try it.

Please.

It's okay. I'm not the killer.

It's okay.\NI'm not the killer.

Lit by the dying street lights

Lit up by the half-dead street lights

People's shadows flicker on and off

The shadows of people flicker on and off

There's a smell of rubber,\Nand moisture in the air...

With the smell of rubber and moisture in the air

There's far too much noise \Nto call this silence

There's too much talk to call this silence

So my focus wanders from the stars

Therefore my point of view can't stay fixed

And moves to the northeast

Slips over the stars and switches on to the northeast

The moths gather, but only in vain

Moths gather but it's futile anyway

'Cause they get burned up\Nby their dreams until nothing's left

They'll burn down in their dreams and there'll be nothing left

A ticket to nowhere, and an evening view\Nof the end of this life

A ticket with no destination

Please, take me to the wasteland\Non the other side of the world

An evening scenery at the end this life

Summer yards littered with dog bones

Take me fast to the wasteland

Heaps of corpses with dates on them

At the other side of the earth

And you tread on them to reach tomorrow

Dog bones in the garden in summer

Sing notes of bronchitis

Dates marked on piles of corpses

Until you vomit blood

I'll step on all that to head for tomorrow

Where the northern mountain wind\Nblows in all directions

With the notes of bronchitis

Where even the flowers that bloom

Sing until you spit up blood

Are allowed to be desecrated

The cold winds from the northern mountains

My internal departure whistle blows

Radiates all around

And my blood is my escape route

And even the flowers blooming there are allowed to blaspheme

Why do I keep setting out

There's a departing whistle in my body

Only to get close and leave again?

Blood is my escape route

I shout my irritation even more

Whenever I set out on a journey and get closer

Why does it drift farther away?

I scream with increased irritation

Today's scenery is fractured

A splinter digs into the earth

A piece of it pierces the ground

An innocent wrecked ship in February

February is an innocent shipwreck

All as speed and friction burn my insides

Speed and friction burning my organs.

A junior high school student\Nwas arrested last night

A junior high school student was arrested last night

He was suspected, so...

No, he really is sick, \Nthat's why he's absent.

That doesn't sound nice!

You didn't impose media controls this time?

But one thing could explain it:
Our teacher and his victims loved each other.
Wha...?! Love...? Don't tell me...
Look at them. They're all very beautiful.
Yeah... Seems like he was quite a freak.
He did this because he \Ncared about them so much.
And, because they wanted him\Nto care about them, they wanted it.
These chairs are so beautiful.
This is proof that he loves them.
"If I become a chair, I \Ncan be with him forever."
Except she made him a chair.
That's... insane!
But then, one of his girlfriends\Ndecided to kill him.
Did she become afraid of being killed?
No. It was for a different reason.
What?
How can you be so sure?
Because she chose me,\Nher rival in love, to frame for the crime.
He'd fallen out of love with\Nhis current girlfriend, and in love with me.
And of course she wouldn't like that.
The person who killed our teacher\Nand pinned the crime on me was
someone who was his girlfriend\Nup until right before his death.
That might make sense, but how can you\Nprove you're actually innocent?
If Kobayashi is guilty,
it's rather unnatural that his prints\Nwere found only on the weapons.
Well, that's true.
If I were her, I would've put\NKobayashi's prints everywhere in the room,
even on the doorknobs.
She shouldn't have half-assed things.
Whose side are you on?!
No one's.
Her first crime should have\Nbrought his secrets to light,
making things turn out as she wished.
And her cover-up after that not being\Nthorough is due to her carelessness?
I think she was at her limit.
It would've been easy for a girlfriend\Nto check the email history on his cell.
So the time for the meeting\Nwas no secret to her.
I imagine she probably had\Na duplicate garage key, too.
Thank you, Hashiba.
Thanks to your investigation,\NI was able to confirm my theory.
The person who tried\Nto frame me as a killer is...
You were worried,
wondering why the cell you thought\Nyou took care of was here, weren't you?
His cell hasn't turned up,\NI'm sure because you took care of it.
That's not his cell. \NHashiba planted it there.
"Hoshino, Classmate (Age 14)"
You are the real killer, right, Hoshino?
You are the real killer, right, Hoshino?
What're you doing here, Kobayashi?
I thought you were home sick.
No, I'm fine. Things are resolved now.
I see...
I didn't realize that you had such\Na pretty face until now, Hoshino...
...though we've been in\Nthe same class since elementary school.
But I can see who you are now.
You really loved our teacher,\Ndidn't you, Hoshino?
Also, I had a feeling about you\Neven before we set up the trap like this.
On the day I came back to school,
you, and only you, said\N"a shape like that" about the teacher.
Our teacher was turned \Ninto a shape like that...
Teacher told you that he was\Nno longer in love with you, didn't he?
When I thought that my teacher\Nwas watching you every single day,
I felt like my heart was about to burst.
I hate Kobayashi... I \Nhate him... I hate him...
You felt that way all this time.
He said he no longer loved me best,\Nso he couldn't turn me into his chair.
He said he was really sorry.\NHe was an honest person like that.
I was just an ordinary girl\Nno one showed any interest in.
I decided I didn't care anymore,\Nand tried to kill myself...
But the teacher protected me.
He loved me.
He said he was watching me.
I might as well have been dead!
But he gave me value. I was so happy.
I could be his chair!
I wanted to! I wanted to become his chair!
That's why I ended it...
...in order to make him all mine.
I see.
How can you stay calm like that?!
I tried to pin the murder on you!
It was fun seeing who you are, Hoshino.
In addition, this was a game where\NI couldn't afford any wrong moves.
I've never had this much fun before!
Thank you, Hoshino!
What... on earth...
Kobayashi...
Mr. Kagami!
Is this it?
Yeah... as long as she admits her guilt.
If she continued to lie, that would be\Na betrayal of her love for the teacher.
So, you won't lie, right?
Now I know the reason\Nwhy he came to love you.
He must have sensed a like mind.
I feel offended.
Is it over?
Is it really over?
Ms. Hanabishi, thank you\Nvery much for your cooperation.
I'm sorry to have you put on an act.
No, that's okay.
But it's sad that one of\Nthe students was the killer.
Yes.
I feel hurt. I wonder if I can\Ncontinue to be a teacher...
Y-You can do it.
Thanks.
Kobayashi... we have to apologize to you.
It didn't bother me.
More importantly, please check this chair.
It'll be evidence.
What?
People want their precious things\Nright next to them, don't you think?
Do you call this... love?
Huh? What is it?
After this, Ms. Hanabishi\Ntook a one month leave.
I heard that Hoshino confessed.\NHer punishment will be severe, won't it?
Too bad she couldn't become his chair.\NThat would've made her happy.
It was you who had Kobayashi\Nreleased right away at first, right, Akechi?
So that the real killer \Nwould lose her patience?
Ugh... I can't sleep.
It looks as if Kobayashi was used,\Nand I don't like it!
But it depends on how he feels, right?
I don't get a guy like you!
It was Kobayashi who\Nwanted to solve it, right?
But you instigated it!
Why would you get upset?
Anybody would!
I'm back!
Make sure you take off your shoes!
Okay!
Kagami, that garage would've\Nbeen discovered eventually, right?
Yeah, but with how the police operate,\Nit would've taken a while.
Kobayashi is amazing.
Then, Kobayashi was going\Nto be released sooner or later?
Probably so.
I'm not so sure about that.
He barely managed to solve the crime.\NIt only went well because the killer gave in.
Oops.
A crime?
No, it's my little sister.\NShe's demanding that I come home today for sure.
Then you should hurry up and go home.
You've got a sister complex.
Don't be rude.
Well then, Hashiba.
Yes.
Kobayashi, stay away\Nfrom dangerous things, okay?
Mr. Kagami seems like a nice person.
He only seems that way.
You never know a person's true nature...\NNot that I'm even interested.
So?! So?! Akechi! Did I pass?!
Hm?
Just barely.
Hey!
All right!
Kobayashi! This isn't something\Nyou should be happy about!
But this is fun!
This is fun!
Huh?
I finally feel...
...alive!
A beautiful moon shines above tonight again
And it sheds light happily over the world
As for me, I'm so worthless, good for nothing
Dreaming at daybreak, creeping on the ground
Still I scream into the night sky\Nhoping that someone will find me
I want to run away, but there's no way out
No bright future in sight 
But I still fly up the air like a butterfly,\Nhoping that you'll find me
A crescent moon, ugly child of the stars,\Nflying with broken wings
A beautiful full moon\Nshines above tonight again
It smiles saying "It'll be your turn next"

Heroine
Our homeroom teacher has been killed.
The investigation revealed that he was also a murderer who killed people in his garage.
In addition, I'm suspected of being both his accomplice and his killer.
It's the first time I've felt like this.
Nothing could be more fun than this.
Kobayashi!
Please.
It's okay.\NI'm not the killer.
Lit up by the half-dead street lights
The shadows of people flicker on and off
With the smell of rubber and moisture in the air
There's too much talk to call this silence
Therefore my point of view can't stay fixed
Slips over the stars and switches on to the northeast
Moths gather but it's futile anyway
They'll burn down in their dreams and there'll be nothing left
A ticket with no destination
An evening scenery at the end this life
Take me fast to the wasteland
At the other side of the earth
Dog bones in the garden in summer
Dates marked on piles of corpses
I'll step on all that to head for tomorrow
With the notes of bronchitis
Sing until you spit up blood
The cold winds from the northern mountains
Radiates all around
And even the flowers blooming there are allowed to blaspheme
There's a departing whistle in my body
Blood is my escape route
Whenever I set out on a journey and get closer
Why does it drift farther away?
I scream with increased irritation
Today's scenery is fractured
A piece of it pierces the ground
February is an innocent shipwreck
Speed and friction burning my organs.
A junior high school student was arrested last night
on charges of mass murder in a Shinjuku multi-tenant building.
This boy was also the key witness
in the teacher murder case that happened the other day.
What drove a 13 year old boy to do such a thing?
Doesn't the problem lie in how local communities deal with them?!
It's because of "game brain"! They couldn't care less about lives.
Children are treasures. They need to be better looked after.
A dramatic increase in the sales tax is about to be passed in the Diet.
I'd be in a bind, my salary will stay the same but the tax will go up.
That "Boy A" discussed a lot on TV lately is Kobayashi, right?
Are you serious?! So he's been arrested after all, huh?
Hey, Hashiba.
Is sickness really why Kobayashi is absent?
Yeah, that's right.
He was suspected, so...
No, it really is just because he is sick.
Is the "Boy A" in this morning's news—
Good morning!
Okay! Please be seated!
Hm? What's this?
Hm?
Hey, did someone lose this?
Sensei, I think that mobile belonged to our previous teacher.
I heard the police say that they couldn't find it.
Oh, is that right? Th-Then I'll bring it to the police later.
At your murdered teacher's parents' house,
many bodies and murder weapons have been discovered.
You just found them?
We had a tip.
A tip telling us to check the garage of his uninhabited parents' house.
I can't see it well.
Well, a junior high school student shouldn't.
I've already seen pictures of the dead bodies.
The bodies were perfectly preserved.
You can take quite a bit, can't you?
A tip, is that the "requesting an appeal" he was talking about?
Hey there, "Boy A".
That doesn't sound nice!
You didn't impose media controls this time?
The killer, you see, leaked the information on the Internet too.
It's a matter of time before the teacher's own crimes become public, huh?
The killer's goal is to make the public know the teacher was a murderer, right?
But it didn't happen at first because we didn't let it happen.
So the killer lost their patience and seek the appeal they want.
So you used me as bait, huh?
You're a suspect in the first place too, remember?
Oh, that's right.
An Imperial Household Agency's detective sure is shrewd.
Your prints were all over the weapons found in the garage.
The police think that you are the murderer's accomplice.
Kagami, tell him the autopsy results.
But he's the suspect, right?
I'll give you permission.
Okay.
I'm Medical Examiner Minami!
I'm Shitai.
Three Minute Shocking!
Okay! The corpse today is a 30 year old male,
a "dismembered teacher's body as decorative art"!
It's unfortunate that he died in his prime.
A strong sleeping drug was detected, but that was not the cause of death.
Based on the bruises on his neck, he was choked to death!
Oh, no! How mortifying!
He was then turned into a chair after being killed!
Oh, a chair?
Anyway, the bodies found in that basement were carefully embalmed and preserved.
The killer must be familiar with this procedure.
And here you go, a body neatly arranged into a chair.
Since this procedure requires a lot of time,
it needs to be done at a time and place where people won't notice.
A chair, huh?
In any case, kids, don't try this at home, okay?
Well then, I'll see you in two weeks!
So, that's the report from Medical Examiner Minami.
The killer murdered the teacher using the same method he was using.
Kobayashi, are you sure you weren't his accomplice?
No, I wasn't.
On the day the teacher was killed, he'd called me in to see him.
The real killer knew that and framed me for the murder.
Kobayashi! You never mentioned that the other day!
Right, because I didn't know what the real killer's intentions were,
I thought I should keep my cards close to me.
You're unbelievable.
I was curious about the real killer, who tried to frame me.
I wanted to know why they did it.
You might just be making that up.
So why did your teacher call you in?
That's because...
Excuse me.
What is it?
A boy claiming to be the suspect's classmate is here, furiously demanding to see him.
Oh him, he's the heir to the Hashiba Foundation.
Oh? Then ignoring him might cause us trouble.
Show him through.
Hey, you can come in.
Kobayashi!
Hashiba.
Are you okay? Are they doing terrible things to you?
Hey, what do you mean by "terrible things"?
I'm fine.\NThanks for coming.
S-Sure.
So, how did it go with what I asked you to do?
Please.
Yeah, you were right.
The real killer is in our classroom.
Thank you, Hashiba.\N I now have everything I need.
Okay then. Let's start.
Can you surprise me?
Yes!
The day before I found the teacher's body, he called me in via email.
Go and check the email history on my phone. I don't mind.
My grades aren't that bad.
I've never done anything that would really get me in trouble, either.
Then, why?
Kobayashi.
Thanks for coming.
I thought it over, and I don't think I've done anything that calls for a meeting with you.
So, that means it was you who had a reason for this meeting.
Oh, so you knew.\NI feel embarrassed.
I'm sorry, but I can't accept your feelings.
Wh-What?!
That's right.\NOur homeroom teacher had feelings for me.
If you just flirted the whole time, there'd never have been a chance to kill him.
Right. I'm just imagining what would've happened if he were there for our meeting.
Imagining?!
It actually happened like this.
At that point, he was probably already dead.
While I was standing there in shock,
I was put to sleep with a strong sleeping drug.
After that, the killer hid the teacher's body behind the desk and me in a locker,
and waited for the guard to pass.
Once the guard was gone,
the killer could do anything they pleased until morning.
The killer used a saw or something to dismember the teacher's body
and create this artwork.
During that time, I was still asleep.
then, the killer put my prints on the tools they brought from the garage,
in order to frame me.
So they planned this to frame you from the start, Kobayashi?!
Yep, that's right.
Your romantic rendezvous with your teacher was a secret.
So, someone who was in a position to know the meeting time, was the killer.
That's right.
But how'd you figure out who it was?!
That's because of this.
The house is owned by the teacher's family, and no one lives there.
No matter who he brought in here, no one would've noticed it.
But still, it's strange that such a long series of crimes went unnoticed until now.
Y-Yeah.
But one thing could explain it.
Our teacher and his victims loved each other.
Wha...?! Love...? Don't tell me...
Look at them.\NThey're all very beautiful.
Yeah, it seems like he was quite a freak.
He did this because he cared about them so much.
And, because they wanted him to care about them, they wanted it.
These chairs are so beautiful.
This is the proof that he loves them.
If I become a chair, I can be with him forever.
Except she made him a chair.
That's insane!
But then, one of his girlfriends decided to kill him.
Did she become afraid of being killed?
No. It was for a different reason.
What?
How can you be so sure?
Because she chose me, her rival in love, to frame for the crime.
He'd fallen out of love with his current girlfriend, and in love with me.
And of course she wouldn't like that.
The person who killed our teacher and pinned the crime on me was
someone who was his girlfriend up until right before his death.
That might make sense, but how can you prove you're actually innocent?
If Kobayashi is guilty,
it's rather unnatural that his prints were found only on the weapons.
Well, that's true.
If I were her, I would've put Kobayashi's prints everywhere in the room,
even on the doorknobs.
She shouldn't have half-assed things.
Whose side are you on?!
No one's.
Her first crime should have brought his secrets to light,
making things turn out as she wished.
And her cover up after that being not thorough is due to her carelessness?
I think she was at her limit.
It would've been easy for a girlfriend to check the email history on his mobile.
So the time for the meeting was no secret to her.
I imagine she probably had a duplicate garage key too.
Thank you, Hashiba,
your investigation was able to confirm my theory.
The person who tried to frame me as a killer is...
You were worried,
wondering why the mobile you thought you took care of was here, weren't you?
His mobile hasn't turned up, I'm sure because you took care of it.
That's a fake mobile Hashiba planted in there.
You're the real killer aren't you, Hoshino?
You're the real killer aren't you, Hoshino?
What are you doing here, Kobayashi?
I thought you were home sick.
No, I'm fine.\NEverything has been resolved.
I see.
I didn't realise that you had such a pretty face until now, Hoshino,
though we've been in the same class since elementary school.
But I can see who you are now.
You really loved our teacher, didn't you, Hoshino?
Also, I had a feeling about you even before we set up this trap.
On the day I came back to school,
you, and only you, said "a shape like that" about the teacher.
Our teacher was turned into a shape like that.
Teacher told you that he was no longer in love with you, didn't he?
When I thought that my teacher was watching you every single day,
I felt like my heart was about to burst.
I hate Kobayashi. I hate him. I hate him.
You felt that way all this time.
He said he no longer loved me most, so he couldn't turn me into his chair.
He said he was really sorry.\NHe was an honest person like that.
I was just an ordinary girl, no one showed any interest in.
I decided I didn't care anymore, and tried to kill myself.
But the teacher protected me.
He loved me.
He said he was watching me.
I might as well have been dead!
But he gave me value.\NI was so happy.
I could be his chair!
I wanted to! I wanted to become his chair!
That's why I ended it, in order to make him all mine.
I see.
How can you stay calm like that?!
I tried to pin the murder on you!
It was fun seeing who you are, Hoshino.
In addition, this was a game where I couldn't afford any wrong moves.
I've never had this much fun before!
Thank you, Hoshino!
What on earth?
Kobayashi.
Kagami!
Is this the end of it?
Yeah, as long as she admits her guilt.
If she continued to lie, that would be a betrayal of her love for the teacher.
So, you won't lie, right?
Now, I know the reason why he came to love you.
He must have sensed a like mind.
I feel offended.
Is it over?
Is it really over?
Hanabishi, thank you very much for your cooperation.
I'm sorry to have you put on an act.
No, that's okay.
But it's sad that one of the students was the killer.
Yes.
I feel hurt. I wonder if I can continue to be a teacher.
Y-You can do it.
Thanks.
Kobayashi, we have to apologise to you.
It didn't bother me.
More importantly, please check this chair.
It'll be evidence.
What?
People want their precious things right next to them, don't you think?
Do you call this love?
Huh? What is it?
After this, Hanabishi took a months leave.
I heard that Hoshino confessed.\NHer punishment will be severe, won't it?
Too bad she couldn't become his chair.\NThat would've made her happy.
It was you who had Kobayashi released right away at first, right, Akechi?
So that the real killer would lose her patience?
Ugh I can't sleep.
It looks as if Kobayashi was used and I don't like it!
But it depends on how he feels, right?
I don't get a guy like you!

But you instigated it!

You never know a person's true nature.
Not that I'm even interested.
So?! So?! Akechi! Did I pass?!
Hm?
Just barely.
Hey!
All right!
Kobayashi! This isn't something you should be happy about!
But this is fun!
This is fun!
Huh?
I finally feel alive!
A beautiful full moon shines above my head again tonight
Shining upon the world so happily
As for me I'm such a failure
Nothing can possibly be done about me
Every time I see a dream at dawn
I crawl around on the ground
Still wishing to be found by you
I scream as I look up at the sky
I want to escape but there's no way out
There's no bright future in sight
Still wishing to be found by you
I soar up in to the air like a butterfly
Flying away with broken wings
A crescent moon the ugly child of the stars
A beautiful full moon shines above my head again tonight
Laughing as it says "It's your turn next"
