The kill request is confirmed.
The request is for ten days from now.
During the release event for the new song,
handle it onstage, and make it a spectacle.
Nina?
Hey, are you listening?
Not a problem.
Not... a problem.
Not human; like a monster
Lacking human kindness or weakness
Ruthless; cruel
Inhuman
Corpse Reviver
Not... a problem.
That's good.
You are just a tool, Nina.
Get rid of your emotions.
In exchange, I'll give you this.
I was the twenty-seventh child raised by the company.
They named me Nina.
As a tool, use that to protect yourself.
To live as a tool...
That was my purpose.
This is your next job, Nina.
The date is yet to be determined.
Be ready to kill at any time.
Brain Storming
To live as a tool...
That is what gives my life... meaning.
Life...
Meaning...
Nina?
Hey, are you listeni—
Not... a problem.
Are these... feelings?
Oh, you're...
a concierge.
Nina-sama.
Are you off-duty?
Yes.
On Fridays, I enjoy a drink here until All Night Neo. It's my routine.
You listen to the radio?
Your Virgin Mary.
Are you listening to music?
I am!
This, here. It's great, isn't it?
I'm sorry. I don't know anything about music.
What? You've never listened to BrainSto?
Our other concierge knows more about music.
The one with brown hair?
I'm such a stan...
of this idol group Brain Storming's undeniable ace, Ru-chan.
And she's my next target.
This girl will meet her end in ten days.
On the event stage where they announce their new song,
just when everything has reached peak excitement...
I'm still going to do it, though.
Do you have reservations?
I don't.
I would never hesitate.
Because I'm a tool made to kill.
Your Corpse Reviver.
Thank you.
There it is!
The music video for their new song.
Streaming it ten days before the song release is a BrainSto tradition.
Ten days from now...
they'll be posting a notice of death here instead.
The Mask's Answer
Hey.
Sorry to bother you when you're off-duty, but can I make a request?
Of course.
Would you help me with my next job?
The Mask's Answer
Brain Storming
You think they'll do the full version?
I bet they will!
That last line Ru-chan does is crazy, right?
It's insane!
Did you see them on Music Park the other day?
I did!
I heard Mayuko isn't feeling well, so she might not perform.
What? Oh, no!
Today, again, I'm bathed in light
As I sing someone else's words
Always
By adding one more layer of falsehood
I grow closer to someone's ideal
I still haven't fulfilled my mission today
I'm waiting for someone's orders
Please wait
I know things can't continue this way
One day, I'll have to destroy it all
What is it that you want from me?
Who is it that you see in me?
You don't even know the real me at all
Who's number one?
The moment a person decides that
My heart crumbles with an unmistakable sound
Please wait
I know things can't continue this way
One day, I'll have to destroy it all
What is it that you want from me?
Who is it that you see in me?
You don't even know the real me at all
Who's number one?
The moment a person decides that
My heart crumbles with an unmistakable sound
I exist for my own sake
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
If I keep going like this
It'll just be the same
I'll repeat my mistakes again
I exist for my own sake
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
What?
What lies beyond the mask
So you're my replacement.
As I thought, they had insurance.
I will show you now
Well, I have been acting strangely.
You didn't think it was strange
that the venue was changed at the last minute?
Would you help me?
Even if I step down, there's a chance they'll send a replacement.
So I want to change the venue to this underground hall
and protect those girls.
The Mask's Answer
Oh! Mayuko, are you feeling better?
Yes, I am well.
Why so polite?
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
So the reason you picked this hotel
If I keep going like this
wasn't to have them handle the cleanup.
If I keep going like this
It'll just be the same
That's right. It was to narrow the options for a sniping point.
It'll just be the same
I'll repeat my mistakes again
Do you know who our client is this time?
I exist for my own sake
Their agency's CEO.
An investment mistake led to a huge loss and massive debt.
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
After agonizing over a solution, the answer was...
What lies beyond the mask
to sell the last single of the undeniable ace who met a sensational death.
You're the only one I'll show!
I exist for my own sake
So what?
It has nothing to do with the job.
It does.
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
The client no longer exists.
If I keep going like this
It'll just be the same
I'll repeat my mistakes again
What good are feelings to a tool meant only to kill?
You know I'm right, Number 27.
I exist for my own sake
Who are you?
Miku, Number 39.
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
I've heard of you. I even looked up to you a little.
What lies beyond the mask
But what you've done can't be undone.
Everything you said is right.
I will show you now
But...
We are not just tools!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
You really are devoted to your work.
I know you can't drink.
That's a non-alcoholic version of a Bloody Mary, right?
There are some things our guests say
that can only be heard here.
Anyway, I couldn't believe it!
To think there was an assassin who's a BrainSto fan.
If only all killers-for-hire were BrainSto fans, it might bring peace—
Are you stupid?
Stu—
The senseless concern of an idiot
who's 50% more excited than usual is not needed here.
Fulfilling the guests' wishes.
That is my job.
It makes me sad.
Even if what lies ahead of her...
really is...
You don't have a home to go back to, either?
I see.
I exist for my own sake
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
If I keep going like this
It'll just be the same
I'll repeat my mistakes again
I exist for my own sake
I don't want to ride on rails someone else laid down
It makes me sad.
What lies beyond the mask
Even if what lies ahead of her...
You're the only one I'll show!
really is a death she's already accepted.
I exist for my own sake
Your Corpse Reviver.
A corpse is someone who's died,
and a "reviver" is someone who brings them back to life.
Taken literally, it's...
"someone who brings back the dead."
Would you like to try listening to it once?
Sara-san?
That's alcoholic!
Is that a problem?
No. No problem at all.
But, you know...
Would you like to try listening to it once?
It really is a good song.
It's a really good song.
Just listen to the end, please?
A good song... you say?
Truly... you say the most idiotic things.
I know.
I'm already well aware.
I will show you now
We are not just tools!
Remember Me
