THE BEGINNING
ALL THAT GLITTERS…
-We've arrived. -This is the place.
It's huge!
So this is the landlady's mansion.
Now we'll somehow make it look like the landlady died at home.
Because things will get messy if En finds out she died at our place.
Saji, what are you doing?
The embroidery side hustle that is due today.
There are security cameras installed!
That rich woman! Damn it!
Everyone, look over there.
The security system's main unit.
If we do something about it, the security cameras should shut off.
-Ton. -Right.
The distance to the target is about 35 meters, isn't it?
All right.
Amazing! That was great, you pig!
Passing through!
Please insert smoke.
So she had a smoke lock after all.
It won't open without the landlady's magic smoke.
What should we do, Dokuga? It's not like we can waste time here.
Okay!
I guess it is my turn to shine!
How do you like my crazy strength?
Amazing!
I don't really care, but let's hurry and get in.
It's so dark that I can't do my embroidery.
Really, what the hell did you come for?
So heavy…
She must weigh about 400 kilos!
It's so spacious here. Is this the entryway?
Dammit. Let's steal something on our way home.
Like toilet paper and stuff.
Looking at this makes me feel guilty.
Let's hurry and fake the landlady's natural death.
One of the most frequent deaths at home is drowning in the bathtub.
The water temperature is great.
Wait just a little more… Damn it!
Got it off!
So heavy…
Not very natural.
If we tie a rope around her neck and drop her from here,
it'll look like suicide.
Dokuga, did you write it?
Yeah.
Pretty natural, right?
Hey! We're throwing her down!
Do it.
One, two…
Hey, Dokuga. Who killed Risu?
Is it someone we know?
So heavy…
Also, you failed to kill Risu. Is that true?
Yeah, it's true.
Don't talk nonsense. You could do it just fine.
The problem…
The problem is Risu's magic.
Risu's magic?
Dokuga!
What the hell is that?!
Dokuga!
I know about this thing. It's a diet insect.
If you keep them in your stomach, they absorb whatever you eat.
So it came out after the landlady died? Well…
This looks pretty natural to me.
What part of it?
Dokuga!
-Let's grab what we can and run. -Keep it together!
I've finally finished my embroidery.
I hope it becomes the handkerchief of a lovely lady.
Hurry up and move!
Whoa! What wonderful embroidery!
It's so nice that girls can have this kind of cute underwear.
This is a nameless store near the entrance to Hell.
CUTE BUTCHER
What kind of store is this?
It's a store that sells meat.
But I don't see the store owner anywhere.
You just can't see him because you're still a Devil trainee.
Look, you can see his shadow.
He isn't a Devil or a Sorcerer,
and neither good nor evil.
Give me some meat.
What's this meat?
The meat of a certain creature.
Once you eat it, your body will start turning into a Devil.
Yeah. I'm counting on you.
Asu, you kept a secret from us, your comrades.
That's something I can't forgive.
I just called Store to come. Do you understand what that means, Asu?
You're a failure of a Devil, Asu.
Okay, Store. Do it.
Here, Store. Take it.
Asu, you're an idiot.
No, you're not Asu anymore. Kawajiri the Sorcerer, wasn't it?
See you, Kawajiri. You can live as you please as a Sorcerer.
My Devil power is fading out.
Nikaido…
EAST ZAGAN TORQUE
How about it?
Does anyone want some freshly baked bread loaded with cheese and a creamy stew?
-Please give me three! -Thank you.
You're really eating with your mask on.
So I'm the one paying, Big Bro?
-Delicious! -This is amazing!
How about it? Does anyone want some creamy stew?
NEW MEAT SHIPMENT ARRIVED!
The night before I turned Asu back into a Sorcerer.
As I thought, my own mask calms me down the most.
This is bad! It's already this late.
I need to sleep soon.
Still, I need to hide this mask in a place that is harder to find.
Hiding it under the drawer is too obvious and dangerous.
Maybe inside the closet?
What's this? A notebook? Could it be Nikaido's?
A smoke lock.
Let's open it!
A lock like this is nothing against my magic!
MY HEART'S DIARY
"My heart's diary."
That bitch has zero naming sense!
Let's see.
I feel like the power of the Devil's contract
is about to crush me.
At this rate, I may disappear.
But before that, I'll write about my magic in this diary.
So even if the contract controls me completely,
I never use my magic.
DOOR TO THE PAST
I grew up in a small village deep in the mountains.
It seems that my parents passed away when I was a baby.
But I was happy.
I had a kind uncle and auntie,
and Kawajiri, who cared for me just like a real big brother would do.
Every day was fun.
Until Yakumo, my best friend, disappeared.
That's it, I'm too sleepy.
I'll read the rest tomorrow.
I want to hear your opinion on a new product
that will be sold under my brand.
Its name is the "En-Shaped Mushroom Doll."
It's an edible mushroom pet for my fans.
It's amazing, En!
It reacts to humidity and airflow.
So cute! Give me one.
Their tendency to parasitize other creatures
still needs some improvement.
What do you think, Nikaido? Let me hear your opinion.
Let's see. I think it would be better if they were bigger.
Like the same size as you, En.
Nice opinion, Nikaido! Approved!
Hurray!
Stop it! Someone take it off of me!
By the way, Nikaido. You're still not ready to use magic?
I hate talking about that.
Nikaido, wait! I wasn't planning on forcing you.
Nikaido…
That caught me by surprise.
I guess pretending to get mad and running away won't work anymore.
That made me sweat.
Let's take a bath and keep reading that diary.
Let's see.
"I was able to first use magic when I was two or three years old."
You're amazing, Nikaido.
-What's this? -Candy?
We may find out once you're able to make more and more smoke.
Nikaido will do her best!
Hey!
Kawajiri! Nikaido!
Yakumo!
Yakumo's magic was the power to fly through the sky.
When she was a baby,
she happened to be rescued while floating down the river.
Because of that, she used to say she was a lucky one.
She was a fearless and cheerful girl.
-Isn't that a child's corpse? -Scary!
There must be some hunters nearby. Let's hurry and go home.
The hunters were a group that kidnapped Sorcerer kids.
There were many kids who died because of fights between hunters.
Hey, young man.
Leave the children here and go. One of mine just died, you know?
It's a hunter!
You asshole! Punch!
They disappeared!
Kawajiri was a Sorcerer with magic that allowed him to go anywhere.
He also had clairvoyance
and could apparently choose locations freely.
I'm home, Auntie.
Kawajiri. Stop relying on magic for everything
and walk a little bit more.
He's right.
We just escaped from a hunter.
Woo-hoo! Today we're eating gyoza!
Gyoza were Auntie's specialty.
I wonder what gyoza are.
I'm not really familiar with the food of commoners.
And then, when I was around four…
What are you two doing?
Welcome home, Kawajiri. I was training Nikaido just now.
I can break boards now.
Aren't you bleeding?
This is too much, Yakumo.
That's how her fists will get stronger.
What's that?
This is…
I got it the other day from a Devil who gave me his card.
It seems he made it specially for me.
So cool!
He invited me to become a Devil.
Do your best, Kawajiri.
That's some impressive armor. You okay in there?
Yeah. It seems living ordinarily while wearing this is the first training.
Well, then, I'm leaving for work.
There's no point if he doesn't walk.
That day, I looked after the house by myself for the first time.
Once I finished helping wrap the gyoza, I suddenly had nothing to do.
I decided to use magic again after a long time
by trying to produce some smoke.
Maybe my magic power had increased as I got older,
but the cube was about half my size.
The cube had buttons and levers on it.
And while I tried pressing and pulling them randomly, nothing really happened.
I decided to practice in order to master my magic.
I didn't know that would be the beginning of a frightening event.
-Nikaido! -It's En!
Open the door! It's me!
I came to apologize. I also brought you presents.
Just when things were getting interesting.
I need to dry my hair.
What?
What the hell?
What?! You mean you really don't know where the Cross-Eyes' hideout is?
Sorry. I couldn't help it. I just really wanted to go with you.
But we'll find it right away if we look for it.
Look for it?
But we don't have any information.
It's gonna get dark soon.
Then let's rest somewhere tonight.
Let's start looking for the hideout tomorrow.
Are you fine with that, Caiman?
Yeah, sure.
Caiman.
But is there a place we can stay in such a backwater?
Well, this place's good enough, isn't it?
BERITH HOT SPRINGS
Welcome!
Three customers have arrived!
A married couple and their child?
MAGMA BATH
-Won't you open, please, Nikaido? -What should I do?
-Nikaido! -I suddenly turned back to normal.
Ouch! What?
What's wrong, Nikaido? Are you okay?
Is this the contract from En that was inside Nikaido's body?
Nikaido!
Nikaido, I'm sorry about earlier.
I forgive you.
Chota! You damn bird! What do you think you're doing?
There's a reason for this!
What?
Nikaido ran away with that lizard man?
Then the Nikaido that was here recently…
Sorry, that was me.
Turn into mushrooms!
I'm sorry!
It's so noisy inside the mansion.
Anyway, where the hell did Ebisu go?
Just when I got my salary from the Big Boss.
It's not much, though.
Well, she isn't an official member of the family anyway.
Somehow she ended up staying here.
Now may be a good time to kick her out.
Ebisu?
Where is she going?
And with all that luggage.
Could it be that she's planning to leave?
Let her leave if she wants to. That cold-hearted jerk.
Ebisu!
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
Home? Did you get your memories back?
THE END
What we learned in Episode 4.
Store sells a certain creature's meat.
Natsuki is the one who pays.
En found out many things.
What we'll learn in Episode 5 is still hidden in chaos.
This is Dorohedoro.
