Swan Song Sung By A Faded Crow #2


From part I, "Neo-Saitama In Flames": "Swan Song Sung By A Faded Crow" #2

"...Doomo. Ah..." Silver Karasu nods. "I am Kagi Tanaka." Kagi Tanaka is an alias of his. That is also the name he used while buying the house. "Doomo", the girl returns the nod. "Me is Yamoto Koki." The two introduced themselves without a second thought. There's nothing surprising about this. Even if you are complete strangers, an aisatsu is in order when you sit together. That is how it goes in Japan.

Swan Song Sung By A Faded Crow #1



The dim electronic light of a sign "Barowaiko". The silhouette of a mohawk man that suddenly appeared in front of it is long. On the ground, a dropped and forgotten iron plate "Low-Grade Lodging" is brown from rust. As the mohawk man steps on it, an irritatingly loud noise echoes through the alley. The annoying rain polluted with heavy metals.
The mohawk man wields shock guns in both hands, looking for his prey with cloudy eyes and walking with the characteristic stride of a drug addict. A sound obliquely behind him. He turns around with an "Ahhe!", aiming his shock guns. The source of the sound is not a person, it's a sewer bio-rat. "I wanna shoot someoone", the mohawk man cries.
As you can see, this man is a hopeless designer drug addict, and he is broke. Also, he is armed. In other words, he is an extremely dangerous being. Such yotamono can often be found in the dangerous districts of Neo-Saitama. Even if they kill someone, it won't appear in the news. There are many other things to report in the news. Such as the story of a sea otter that appeared in the city.
"I wanna shooot... I wanna shooot...", the man moans. "I wanna blow all my looad... Ah!" His clouded eyes open wide. KADOOM! The shock gun shoots a flash of light. "ABAAH!?" As an old woman who wandered into the alley tries to turn around and run, the lightning hits her. Tragically, the old woman dies from the burn.
"Ahhe! I shot her", the mohawk man trembles. "Yabai, kowai", mumbling as if in delirium, he approaches the face-down corpse. As the highway robber crouches down, a new figure enters the scene. "Ah!" Reflexively, the mohawk man once again pulls the triggers of both his shock guns. KADOOM!
Because of his shaky grip, the flash burns the sign "Moo-like Field" near the figure. "Abunai... Abunai", the figure mutters emotionlessly. "I missed!?", the mohawk man cries, drooling. "I missed!" "Yes, you did", the figure replies in a careless voice. Even though his life was on the line. "What a shame."
