Black Butler (黒執事)

Most likely, the requirement to see Kowloon is a sense of attachment.

But considering Yaomay-chan, it can't be attachment only to Kowloon.

At the moment, the confirmable people who can see the generic Kowloon are...

these four.

For Miyuki, his life in Kowloon—his past— meant something nice for him.

Not that he'd admit that, of course.

I did like Kowloon too,

but I like my time here as well, so I can't exactly say I'm attached.

Hajime Kudo.

He left a realty company three years ago.

There's no record of him returning to Japan.

It's only natural that he is attached to the past where his fiancée was alive.

Those with strong attachment to their past can see the generic Kowloon.

That would apply to Xiaohei too.

Okay, I'm off!

Is this about the generic Kowloon?

Well, um...

Later!

What?!

You're going to be adopted by the Hebinuma family?!

Man, I knew you were hiding something from me!

Sorry I'm telling you this after the fact.

Is that real?!

He insisted, to prove my loyalty.

And check this out.

I sliced it up right in front of him.

Perfect, right?

Stop looking like that.

It was a requirement for my mother's treatment.

This is a small price to pay.

What a devoted son. Can't hold back my tears!

I'll share your resolve, then.

Such a devoted friend...

Can't hold back your tears, can you?

Mom...

Why?!

I would never have left your side if I'd known it would turn out this way!

That man will pay for this.

I'll avenge her, no matter what!

Yulong, help me!

Sure.

The first time was from the flames of anger.

The second time, from this hometown that no longer exists.

I have to do something before you get swallowed up any further.

Did I do the right thing?

Did I make the right choice back then?

Ah, I see.

It's not "attachment."

The emotion that lets you see the generic Kowloon...

Sai Sing Road

It's "regret."

For real?!

You remember what you did in Hong Kong?

And I'm sorry!

Can I have a little more time to pay you back?

I just remembered that the money I make here is an illusion too.

Oh, that's totally fine, but...

"Illusion." That's your answer to all this?

I only meant it for the money!

I didn't mean to call this Kowloon an illusion.

Then what did you learn in Hong Kong?

In Hong Kong...

Everyone I asked said that the Second Kowloon Walled City was gone.

I went to Hong Kong because I wanted to prove that Reko-pon exists,

but now... now...

All it did was prove that she doesn't.

We don't know that for sure just yet!

You don't know everything about this place either, do you?

Honestly, I can't be empathetic to the people in this Kowloon like you are.

But that's why I have to say this...

Yaomay-chan, you should get out of here.

Why?

Because you really exist.

You shouldn't stay in a Kowloon that no longer exists.

Neither should Miyuki-chan or I.

Neither should Kudo-san.

But then, Reko-pon...

You told me before that you want to be your absolute self.

Is that why you live here the way you do?

Well, it's just...

Reko-pon's the reason I decided to become my absolute self.

She's my dear friend.

Doing something for someone you care about isn't a bad thing.

But don't lose sight of what you want, or what you should do.

Because this is your life.

Then what about you, Gwen-kun?!

You said you were here because of someone you couldn't leave alone!

Aren't you also acting for someone else's sake?!

Right now, I'm here for myself.

Even if I'm being egoistical, I don't want to regret it.

What should I tell Reko-pon?

Oh, there's a rumor I heard in Hong Kong about the Second Kowloon.

A rumor?

That the Hebinuma Group planned its demolition to cover something up.

Hebinuma?

Yes.

Weasel> I don't know what they're covering up, but this is what I've heard. In Kowloon, there are what seem to be talismans everywhere. And the clue as to what they're covering up is hidden in those talismans.

There's something in Hebinuma's history that they want to erase,

and the clue for it is hidden in the talismans in this city.

Did you know?

I knew about the talismans.

But I didn't know that the Hebinuma Group was involved.

The talismans are dangerous, so stay away from them!

Even though they're everywhere?!

Right. They're not something you should take interest in.

Suspicious!

Oh, and there's something I remembered... or rather, that I noticed.

What is it?

It's always summer in this Kowloon.

Right. A summer that never ends and never moves on.

Kudo

How much of what I remember do I tell Reko-pon?

Maybe Gwen-kun's right.

Solving this mystery isn't part of my life.

What I should do. What I want...

I came here and met Reko-pon all by chance.

Because of that, I could resolve to turn my lies into my absolute self.

The Butterfly Dream Revival Screening

Oh, these earrings aren't the best.

These are better.

Since Mom says these are better, I guess they are a better choice.

Peace and Tranquility

Hello?

Huh? Medicine?

Yes. I'm pretty sure it's the northern area.

When Kujirai B put that talisman in the letterbox in the door...

Talisman?

Yaomay, I'm going to visit the northern area one more time.

Shell> ...a Hebinuma Group cover-up was part of the reason for the demolition of the Second Kowloon?

But that place is dangerous!

I know. Still...

The reason why B died...

I think I'm close to a clue about why.

Th-Then I'll come with you!

Are you sure?

Of course!

I'll leave work early, so let's meet up!

Okay. Thank you.

See you.

Yeah. See you tomorrow.

A talisman and medicine.

I just know the Hebinuma Group is involved.

I can't let Reko-pon go alone to somewhere so dangerous.

Right?

What if you could go back to how you looked back then?

Would you do it?

You could, if you use Gene Terra.

Come on, I want you to kill the fake Reiko Kujirai.

There's no way.

I should call Yaomay soon.

Xiaohei-kun, what's wrong?

Xiaohei-kun?

Oh, what a coincidence.

It's from the other Xiaohei.

Please, take the call.

Thanks.

Help me, Kujirai!

Wh-What's the matter?!

The device on the ceiling started to buzz out of nowhere!

I don't know how to stop it!

The ceiling?

What do I do?!

Maybe it's the fire alarm.

I need help now!

Hold on, let me call the service company...

What do I do, Kujirai?!

Oh.

Huh?

Hurry!

Come and help me!

What do I do?!
