- p1
- A ghost appears in my room
- A 50 year old rental apartment
- A corner room on the first floor
- A stigmatized property with a one time rent payment [stigmatized property as in an apartment where someone died in via suicide or murder]
- It was decided that it will be demolished in a month
- There are no other tenants
- Ghosts often appear standing in the corner of the room
- Sometimes it runs around the room
- Lately, it's been climbing on top of me when I'm sleeping
- Thanks to that everyday I can't go to my university classes because of lack of sleep
- With a little patience I was able to endure it but now I've reached my limit
- M: The ghost that's been tormenting me with this frying pan I'll kill you
- Due to lack of sleep his thoughts have been crazy
- M: It's here
- M: Hey you shitty ghost! That's enough...
- p2
- S: What the so you can notice me, brat [its the word brat he uses for yuji]
- M: ... a kid?
- S: I'm not a kid and I'm not a ghost either. I'm called Ryoumen Sukuna
- M: ...No you're a ghost aren't you
- p3
- S: A long time ago I used to eat humans to live
- S: Humans called me the king of curses and feared me
- S: But one day a natural disaster attacked this land
- S: On a whim I simply defeated it
- S: Isn't that amazing
- S: The humans worshipped me. After my death, a part of my body was enshrined in this land
- M: ...is that so
- S: But as time went on, I was forgotten
- S: At that time, the temple that enshrined me was burned in the war and became ashes
- S: That's right. I was enshrined here [sukuna puts emphasis on here]
- S: Even so those lowly humans, without rebuilding the temple
- S: Built an apartment decades later!
- M: Is that so
- M: This guy isn't scary at all...
- p4
- S: My body was originally bigger than but I've turned into the a child's appearance...
- M: Being scared of him all this time I look like an idiot
- M: I should sleep
- S: Hey. Are you going to sleep, Fushiguro Megumi
- M: Why do you know my name...
- S: It can't be helped
- M: From yesterday's conversation, it seems like you were an evil existence when you were alive
- S: That's right. I ate a lot of humans
- M: ...Could it be that the reason this place is a stigmatized property is also your fault
- M: A curse killing people or something...
- S: Curse? I don't know
- p5
- S: The stupid human who saw my appearance was surprised and confused
- S: I think they just charged their head out the glass window
- S: They weren't supposed to die in an accident
- S: I could have eaten them unfortunately my strength has weakened
- M: You said you were enshrined here but can't you freely go to other places
- S: ...aa it's impossible to do it alone
- M: I- I see, so it was that...
- p6
- Everyday, Sukuna was complaining about humans
- However, when he was talking to me Sukuna somehow looked happy
- M: ...You
- M: Haven't you become smaller?
- S: Yeah aren't I cute?
- Original size -> Present
- M: Do you plan on becoming a baby
- S: How many times do I have to tell you my strength is weakening
- S: Me becoming smaller is also because of that
- S: I heard there's only a little more before this building is demolished
- S: At that time, I'll probably disappear too
- p7
- I couldn't say anything
- Besides, even if I think it's pitiful, it has nothing to do with me
- Even if Sukuna disappears, I don't really...
- M: ...It doesn't matter
- Days later I had a strange dream
- S: I can no longer keep this appearance
- S: This is goodbye Fushiguro Megumi
- S: Don't worry. I'm just going to have a deep sleep here
- S: Your words that day truly made me happy
- p8
- S: Thank you
- When I woke up, Sukuna had disappeared
- M: What are you thanking me for...
- It was a week before the apartment was demolished
- On the day I was moving, my father came to help
- My father who came into the apartment for the first time had a suspicious face
- M: Hey shitty old man, if you have the time to smoke then help
- T: ...Megumi. Did you live here
- M: Huh?
- T: Aah that's right you were still a brat that pissed himself
- p9
- T: We used to live in this apartment, you don't remember don't you
- T: You used to say there were ghosts
- T: You used to face the wall talking to yourself
- T: Well we moved soon after
- M: Hey are you a ghost?
- M: You have a lot of eyes
- S: I'm not a ghost, brat [its the word brat he uses for yuji]
- M: Hmm but you're always here right
- S: Aaah I can't go anywhere by myself
- M: Then when I become an adult, I'll take you to a faraway place
- M: A pretty and fun place. I promise
- p10
- S: Promise huh
- S: You're the first to say such a thing
- p11
- S: But how do you plan on taking me?
- M: I don't think I can carry you on piggyback
- S: What a cute brat
- S: It's alright look below
- p12
- S: Please look below
- You're an idiot aren't you
- Why did you disappear without telling me anything
- While I forgot, you remembered. I'm just miserable
- T: Hey Megumi? Suddenly digging up the floor, are you possessed?
- T: ...Uwaah what is that
- Inside the wooden box was several fingers
- My father said it was creepy but strangely I didn't think so
- p13
- I went to fulfill my promise with the wooden box
- M: I went to this beach before with my family, the three of us
- M: Even though I was still a kid, it was really fun
- M: I only remembered that the ocean's horizon is really beautiful
- M: The young me probably wanted to take you here
- Ah I see
- p14
- At that time, that was
- Knowing I had forgotten my promise, a look of despair
- M: ...I'm sorry for being late
- M: Are you looking, Sukuna?
- p15
- Sukuna did you see the ocean
- From the day I saw that dream, he hasn't appeared so I can't be sure
- I was hesitating on whether I should hold a memorial service for the wooden box
- In the end, I placed it in a sunny spot in the apartment I moved into
- I thought it would make him happy
- M: Who is it this early...
- N: I'm the tenant downstairs but for the last two weeks your running around is too noisy I haven't been able to sleep
- N: Do you possibly have a dog?
- N: I wonder if it will calm down if you give it jerky?
- N: Well anyway keep quiet in the middle of the night
- p16
- M: What's with that woman just now...
- M: Footsteps...
- M: There's no way
