Kougami pointed the dominator at the refrigerating van but it didn’t change its shape into decomposer. It was stuck in paralizer mode, it couldn’t be helped.  He dodged by a hair the refrigerator van that was running against them, stepping aside from it with all his might.

The van sped up and ran away breaking through the fence dividing the factory from the wheat fields. Rolled to the ground, Kougami jumped up to his feet and — Akane’s figure, who was supposed to be behind him, was not there.

Kougami ran after the escaping van. Akane was clinging to the vehicle side.

“Akane!”*

Without realizing, he screamed her name. He started running with a desperate look on his face.

The refrigerator van was running fast on the farm road between the wheat fields. Akane was hanging to the side of it with her left hand. She was about to dislocate her shoulder but, come this far, she couldn’t whine about it. She desperately focused all her strength not to be thrusted out as well as not to let go of the revolver in her right hand.

From that unstable position, Akane aimed at the tire of the refrigerating van with the revolver. 

She pulled the trigger.

At the recoil of the magnum bullet, she remembered the tactile sensation of the time she had shot with Toyohisa’s shotgun*. 

The tire of the refrigerator van blew out. The van lost control and started weaving. Akane was thrown off and the refrigerator van fell sidelong and plunged into the wheat field.

“… ! …”

Akane, who had hit the ground, lost consciousness.

— that moment, was it  shortly before the murder case of the avatars thief started?

When Akane had entered the large office at the Criminal Investigation Department, Kougami was dozing at his desk. 

Maybe he was hot after the training or something and he had taken off the suit jacket.

“…”

Without any particular reason, Akane stared at Kougami’s face. He was resting with his chin on his hands swaying his chest slowly like he was rowing a boat.  That defenseless sleeping face was really unexpected and Akane felt her heart beat so fast.

—  broad shoulders, a thick chest. Probably the type who looked thinner in his clothes than he really was. She also watched his arms carefully and they were quite thick. A muscular, masculine body. Just looking at him, for some reason she hadn’t enough of it. An incredibly well-shaped nose. The thin mouth was attractive but the lips were a bit chapped…

The sound of a ventilating fan not fitting for a contemporary building. There was no one else apart from the two of them in the large room.

— I wonder why.

Suddenly Akane got antsy. This man — Kougami Shinya — someday, he will surely go somewhere far. She had such a feeling.

Kougami woke up.

“…mm?” he looked around with a confused face. “Inspector…Tsunemori?”

“Yes”

“I…was I sleeping?”

— Akane awakened too.

At the same time she regained consciousness, she had an attack of severe pain.

— that’s right, I’ve been thrown off the refrigerator van.

When Akane tried to stand up, she was kicked hard at her side.

“Ah!”

Akane screamed, writhing in pain. She let go of the revolver.

Makishima was standing right beside her.

“Now that I think about it…Inspector Tsunemori…I should have killed you in the first place” he stated coldly. “My biggest mistake. As a result of my information gathering, I thought ‘you were the weak point of the Public Safety Bureau CID’s Division 1’. At least, that had been a correct perception until Funahara Yuki was killed…”* 

Enduring the pain, Akane crawled on the ground and extended her hand toward the revolver. Makishima raised his foot stepping on the back of her head — . 

“Makishimaaa!”

Kougami caught up with them with the dominator at a ready.

Makishima laughed scornfully at Akane and ran away towards the field.

“…tsk” clicking his tongue, Kougami rushed over Akane.

Akane was still trying to pick up the revolver desperately.

Instead of her, it was Kougami the one who grasped the revolver. Holding the dominator in his right hand and the revolver in the left one, Kougami was comparing the two guns with a blank expression.

“…don’t…don’t do it…” sensing that Kougami was thinking about something, Akane grimaced in sadness. “Kougami-san! There’s still room for negotiating with the Sibyl System. As long as we catch Makishima alive…”

Kougami threw away the dominator. Gritting her teeth in frustration*, Akane shed regretful tears.

“That…is your choice, Kougami-san”

“Somehow, we are like the destiny that makes a different choice at each fork road. I think we’ve not been a bad pair but… we would gradually part ways, like travelers who carry a wrong map”

“I don’t want it. At this rate, going on with your escape someone will kill you…” 

“If someone asked me how precious my own life is or so, I would be unsure but…being killed by the Sibyl System wouldn’t be too pleasant for sure. So, I’ll try to put up resistance until the end. That’s really a goodbye. Tsunemori Akane” Kougami gave her a kind glance. “…this is a matter between me and him only”

With the revolver in his hand, Kougami rushed towards the middle of the wheat field where Makishima had escaped.

“Kougami-san!”

Akane’s cry was heartrending but it faded away without reaching no one’s ear.

NOTES TO TRANSLATION:

*Akane: very personal note…I’d like to underline that this is the unique, only moment when Kougami calls Akane by her first name. There won’t be any other moment in all the seasons +movie where he does it. Three syllables, just a single kanji, but it means the whole world for me.

*Toyohisa’s shotgun: here the author is referring to the moment when Akane tried to shoot Makishima with the rifle he had given her (that was Toyohisa Senguchi’s one) the day Yuki died.

*until Funehara Yuki was killed: I know that this sentence may sound strange. I mean…Makishima who simply says Yuki was killed, like he has no other information about it. I translated the passive form literally for a precise reason. Japanese often uses passive form, in particular when the action and the person who undergoes it is more important that the subject doing it. I found particularly disgusting that Makishima said “Funehara Yuki was killed” and not “I killed Funehara Yuki”, especially in front of Akane and I wanted to let all the readers know a bit about the original text.

*gritting her teeth in frustration: the expression in the original text is 奥歯を噛む. It’s used to indicate the internal struggle in making a hard choice or a hard surrender or something you’re forced to do but you don’t want to. In this case, it’s regret and frustration for not convincing Kougami to let go of his objective.

The plot, the characters, the tone: everything in this story will keep your attention!

A letter arrives, and impacts the course of the story. Little changes cascading into bigger ones weave the telling of this intriguing plot, mixing canon facts and extrapolations cleverly.

The chapters offer a good balance between mystery, paranormal, humour, family and even romance (though the latter is rather subtly hinted and the pairings are undisclosed so far). The author has a perfect mastery of the characters, and is able to provide the most organic and believable interactions, for instance between Naru and his twin brother, which were the focus of this first arc.

Follow my advice and give it a try. You’ll thank me later.

Review by GHHQ Lead Reviewer @frenchcirce

I have heard that there are spin off manga series about gh characters. do you know where you can read the one for monk?

Hello, There are short stories and there is the occasional sketch comic released by the Mangaka but we have not heard of any spin off manga series for Ghost Hunt. (Unless you are counting doujinshi)We keep a list of the Ghost Hunt books, manga, and short stories that have been translated on our website.

Sorry there isn’t more, I wish there was more Ghost Hunt out there spin off or otherwise. 

Kogami & Akane + Quotes

habits of the mc

synopsis: habits you have come to develop after almost a year in the devildom.

pairing(s): demon brothers x reader

genre: fluff

note: two posts in less than 24 hours? woah.

1. checking couches, seats and beds before you jump/sit on them. you don’t want to accidentally sit on poor belphegor who just wanted to nap there.

2. making extra food when you make a snack. the chances are, you’ll accidentally bait out beelzebub and he’ll want some.

3. never saying you’re free. if lucifer is around, good job! you just earned a day as lucifer’s office rat, running errands for him whilst he fills out paperwork.

4. sleeping on one side of your bed. without fail, every night one of the brothers creeps into your room unannounced because they missed you or felt as though you didn’t spend enough time together that day.

5. giving mammon random headpats. he already suffers enough from his brothers comments, headpats just make his day better.

6. never mentioning the anime characters you simp for around leviathan. he gets jealous easily, okay? he might “accidentally” break merchandise you have of characters you simp for.

7. never hugging a brother for more than five seconds. this prevents the brothers from claiming you have a favourite, although they find something else to argue about.

8. never allowing belphegor to hug you for more than five seconds especially. he tends to falls asleep pretty easily, it’s most common around you and he has fallen asleep leaning against you before.

9. reading a few pages of a book each night. satan wants you to exercise your mind, he tells you that being around his mindnumbing brothers can take a jab at your IQ. scolding happens if you don’t do this.

10. knocking on doors. the amount of times you’ve accidentally walked in on one of the brothers changing is unbelievable.

11. locking doors. the bathroom is always locked when you’re in there to prevent the likes of asmodeus and occasionally leviathan.

12. ignoring arguments that break out during dinner. somehow, one of the brothers will find a way to drag you into conversation. it’s best to ignore them, eating your spicy hellfire noodles instead.

13. doing some sort of skin care routine before bed each night. asmodeus goes nuts if you don’t take care of yourself, so even a very minor routine is appreciated.

14. avoiding other demons, especially male demons. it’s not only leviathan that gets jealous, besides all the brothers worry for your safety constantly.

15. “coincidentally” eating a full meal before visiting solomon. you don’t want to die young.

Midnight Train (Part 3/4)

Prompt: Naru and Mai shares a dream (or multiple dreams), but neither of them know they’re actually sharing it. - @seoulsborne123​

——

“Mai.  We need to talk.”

Those were the first words Naru said when she came into the office.  Apparently, he had been waiting for her, sitting on the sofa and watching the door.

Before she could say anything back, Naru stood and went to his office, beckoning her to follow.

“Close the door behind you,” he said, sitting in his chair.  Mai did so, and stood before his desk, twisting her fingers together.

The air felt heavy.  Naru couldn’t seem to look her in the eye, and settled on staring at his desk.  He hesitated to speak, choosing his words carefully.

“Have you had any…unusual dreams lately?”

Mai took a deep breath.  Last night, after continuous nightmares, most involving finding Naru dead in various ways, she had woken up in tears, and promptly vomited.  It had taken her a while to regain composure after that, and even now, she felt shaken. She’d seen awful things like that before, but seeing it happen to someone she knew was something else.

Given all of that, she decided to be honest.  “I’ve been seeing dreams of being on a train. With you.  And last night…it was awful. I went to look in the other compartments, but…I only found horrible things.  You…you were…” She put a hand to her mouth, as another wave of nausea washed over her.

Naru held up his hand, signaling that that was enough.
