Chapter 2: A Country Called Japan
Following the police officer, we come across a dead body with severe abdominal trauma. Kashiwagi, the lady doctor, puts on gloves to check the body.
"What does this mean...?"
Kashiwagi tilts her head and groans. I also checked the corpse along with her.
*What is this? *
I don't believe a human being would do something like this. Only the liver is missing.
I have seen many bodies in this state. The killer is not human. I don't think they would understand if I told them though.
"What do you think? It could be an organ collector, but they would have left the body alone if all they wanted were the organs. The wounds are too severe."
"Yes, it could be something like that. I'm sure we'll see more murders like this in the future."
The policeman snarls.
"This is troubling. These murders are really on the rise."
"I knew it..." When I said that, the lady doctor, Kashiwagi, called out to me.
"From the way you're speaking, you either know something or you have an idea what's going on."
The way she spoke to me was sarcastic.
"I understand that the killer is not a simple psychopath."
With that, I left the police to do the rest.
We returned to the clinic where we had just been.
"Hey, Doctor, it's your afternoon off. If you have no plans, why don't you take Marcus-san out for a tour of Tokyo?"Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
"I guess so."
Dr. Kashiwagi considered this. I had just witnessed a crime scene a few minutes ago.
I pretend to stumble, grabbing onto a woman, and take the opportunity to sink my fangs into her neck. In this crowd, I was finally able to drink some blood.
Oh, it's been hours. It soaks into my body!
"Sorry." With a kiss on the cheek, she forgets about me. Satisfied, I return to the girls.
"Apologies. Where else are you taking me?"
I think they were discussing where to go next while I was gone.
"I'm thinking we should go to the Skytree next, so I hope you're okay with heights."
"I'll be fine. It's taller than the Eiffel Tower in France, right? I'm looking forward to it."
We took the elevator up to the Skytree, and from there we could see the city of Tokyo. It really has changed a lot.
The girls were excited about something. I'm certain it's also the first time they've been here.
"Wow! It's amazing! I've never been here before. It's always crowded and I didn't have anyone to go with me..."
Riko says, and the nurses smile.
"Well, actually, us too."
"I didn't realize that! Mana-san and Mika-san seem so popular, don't men often ask you out to places like this?"
The two of them replied, "We don't come because they would have asked us out."
They spoke in unison.
"A man who invites you to a place like this must have ulterior motives," Mana and Mika said.
"We are not so lucky with men. When we talked about our exes, we felt sorry for each other." They looked at each other and spoke in tandem again.
"I see."
"You had a surprisingly hard time."
Riko looked at them tenderly, while Yuki gazed happily at them all."
