"This building is cursed!" "Monster Heaven" "Ghost Hero" "I can't believe he can sleep through the noise." "He's tired." "He's been putting in a lot of overtime." "Mr. Adachi..." "Let him be, he's sleeping." "We'll be alone at last." "I don't want to be alone with you." "Go home." "Tamami!" "What's wrong?" "I fell asleep." "I'm sorry we invited you here, when you're so tired." "It's OK;" "I'm having fun." "Good morning..." "Mr. Osakare." "Kurozuka is coming back." "The executive director?" "Didn't he quit a few years back?" "Four years ago he stole critical company secrets and quit the company." "That's why the previous president..." "Anyhow, Kurozuka's back." "Why?" "I don't know, he's a puzzle to me." "I'm sure he's up to something." "Depending on the circumstances, Project K..." "Project K?" "Three-dimensional CG." "Good morning." "Good morning." "I hope I'm not late." "You're 50 minutes late - a new record for you." "The president asked to see you." "It looks like I'm in for a lecture." "Thanks." "Oh, sir, there's a package for you." "He didn't leave his name, but he was very old." "I see." "Thanks." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Mr. Adachi to see you." "Satoru, do you remember when this area was all forestland?" "Yes, I used to play here as a child." "All this land used to belong to the Adachi family." "As far as the eye could see belonged to your family." "My father used to brag about it." "There was a swamp around here... they said there were monsters - kappa - and it was dangerous." "It was quite difficult for your father and me when we constructed this building." "Satoru, how about it?" "Are you still not interested in presiding over your father's company?" "It's your duty to take the helm." "I'd give up this desk anytime you ask." "Please think it over." "Is there anything else you needed to talk about?" "Satoru, how's the research going?" "It's taking a little longer than I expected, but should be finished soon." "Give it your best." "Mr. Adachi arrived on the 4th sub-level." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Mr. Adachi, I wanted to ask you about the specs for three-dimensional CG... can we cut the electrical touch discharge by 0.5?" "No way." "You can't cut it more than 0.3." "We won't know unless we try." "What is it?" " A love letter from an old flame?" " Cut the wisecracks!" "It seems to be my family tree." "Wow, it looks like your ancestors were ghostbusters." "Who are you?" "'Mon-Hey'." "It's short for 'Monster Heaven'." "Have we met?" "They played at the club last night." "How did you get in here?" "Only employees can get past security." "For celebs, our faces are our passes." "We came in the back." "Our connections are amazing." "Life as we know it depends on back doors." "I'm Bug, she's Aya, he's Pon, and she's Chibi." "You're Adachi?" "A ghostbuster?" "That's no business of yours." "This area is restricted to employees, please leave immediately." "We're not interested in talking with you." "The sword?" "Is the stone separated from the sword?" "What stone?" "In the foyer, there's a funky stone." "That stone?" "Do you know about that stone?" "There's an unclean spirit trapped inside of it." "An unclean spirit?" "!" "It's sort of like a paperweight." "It holds down the ghost's curse." "There's an unclean spirit hiding somewhere in this building." "We don't care about ghosts;" "this is our office and we're busy." "Dumb bitch!" "Keep calm." "We may look normal, but we're actually monsters." "Maybe so." "You don't believe us, even though you're a ghostbuster." "We can't have ghosts hurling curses about." " You're a ghost yourself." " Monsters and ghosts are different." "Monsters seldom kill people, but ghosts will." "Monsters are good boys and girls, but ghosts are spooky." "Monsters are positive, ghosts are negative." "Monsters are plus, ghosts are minus." "Monsters are... but ghosts are..." "Where's the sword?" "It's a blood-sucking sword... the curse gets stronger, the more the sword is bathed in blood." "Ghosts like haunted houses, not uber high-tech setups, like this building - most of the time." "I have never ever heard of this sword, or of a cursed rock." "Play time is over, time to go home." "Bye-bye, here's a treat." "Off you go." "Just one thing: you must absolutely never let the blood of a virgin get on that stone." " What?" " The blood of a virgin." "What a bunch of loonies!" "We have to keep virgin's blood off the stone?" "What's going to happen?" "How often does virgin's blood get on anything, anyway?" "!" "Mr. Adachi - your face..." "you seem so serious..." "What a bracing aroma..." "The building knows that I've been here before." "It's blessing my return." "Sir, excuse me..." "A roach..." "I'm Kurozuka." "Are you Adachi?" "The stone, it spoke?" "It's Kurozuka." "Long time, no see." "I can see you're still deadweight to the company." "Ryuichi Kurozuka, the department head." "How was New York?" "New York?" "Or was it..." "Calcutta?" "I quit four years ago!" "I can see you're still totally ignorant of company operations." "Good luck with the three-dimensional CG development." "You look well..." "a bit older perhaps." "What on earth are you doing here, Kurozuka?" "It's an urgent matter." "I hope you don't have any other appointments." "You're like the angel of death." "You go from company to company..." "I leave a barren trail in my wake." "The Adachi Corporation seems to be doing well..." "My one miscalculation." "Maybe I'll come back." "What in the devil are you talking about?" "This is a summary of top secret information from the Konian Panion Corporation." "I just resigned yesterday." "Call it a souvenir." "I'm not interested." "Get out!" "You can't kick me out." "You must remember..." "Project K." "Even if I go home, it's still there." "Especially the three-dimensional computer graphics, that was grand." "You project a laser through the molecules in the air, along with a weak electric current." "The result is a three-dimensional tactile image." "In short... an image you can grab." "This sword is a treasure..." "As if it's sucking me in..." "Well, there's very little to talk about... you can build the corporation's international standing with my help, or you can commit seppuku." "Shall I attend the shareholders' meeting tomorrow?" "You bloodless cur!" "You're not welcome!" "Mr. Osakare, you know me..." "I don't compromise on anything." "Not even one-tenth of a millimeter." "I plan to hand the company over to you." "It's your duty to take the helm." "Please think it over." " Working late?" "It must be tough." " Oh, yes..." "That's CG, isn't it?" "Sssh, I have a non-disclosure agreement." "I didn't see a thing..." "Are you alone?" "Yes, why do you ask?" "Aren't you scared?" "It's a bit embarrassing, but I don't like this building - it's eerie... haunted, maybe..." "There was a death when they built this office building." "This area was originally marshland." "The bones of countless bodies were uncovered during reclamation work." "Right where we're standing was part of the marsh." "I've said too much." "Call me if you need anything." "What a crock!" "It's a high-tech building..." "No reason to be afraid." "Is anyone there?" "Security?" "Nothing to be afraid of." "It's almost the 21st century." "Is something wrong?" "Why are you crying?" "It's chilly here, I'll take you into the next room." "You're as cold as ice." "Poor thing." "I can't imagine you work here, so what are you doing here at this hour?" "That's strange - the room was right there." "It's warm all of a sudden." "I got a funny feeling about this place..." " What kind of a feeling?" " Like something might pop out." "Help!" " What's wrong with you?" " Mr. Adachi!" "Mr. Adachi!" "Miss Amano, are you staying late today?" "Yes, see you tomorrow." "Excuse me." "Wait... what department are you in?" "Development." "Adachi's department... that explains the stench of mold." "I'm busy." "I doubt it, working for that bumbler, Adachi." "He's the director of the department;" "I'd think you'd have the courtesy to call him Mr. Adachi." " In fact, he should be..." " ..." "The president?" "Why do you think he's not the president?" "I'll tell you why:" "it's because he's an imbecile." "Did someone call me?" "Mr. Adachi!" "Speak of the devil..." "We were just discussing how your business acumen is beyond reproach." "Who is this jerk?" "Who are you calling a jerk?" "He's Director Aruichi Kurozuka." "Senior managing director!" " God, you're every bit as much of a nincompoop as your father." " My father..." "Your father was an even bigger dunce than you." "That's why I left the company." "Are you going to let him talk like that, Mr. Adachi?" "Your cute little helper scuffed my shoes." "What do you plan to do about that?" "I'll shine them." " Mr. Adachi, you can't be serious?" " Miss Amano, go to the office." "A grand idea - a fitting role for the founder's son." "It's no use." "Mr. Adachi, the capacity is too..." " That's it." "It's monsters..." " Eh?" "!" "I had no idea the Adachi family... has been so closely linked to monsters for generations." "It appears to be a relationship based on mutual protection." "This land belonged to the Adachi family, but it also belonged to the monsters." " Maybe you really are an imbecile." " What?" " Oh, nothing." " It's the stone." "It contained the curse." "When the building was constructed, the stone was moved." "Don't worry, so long as virgin's blood doesn't get on it." "That's what they said, wasn't it?" "But what in the world..." " It sounds like you skipped lunch today." " Maybe so." "I'll have the cafeteria send something down." "Too late, it's past seven." "No one will be there." "We could eat out." "I'll go to the kitchen and fix a sandwich or something." "The kitchen is closed." "You know how to open the auto-lock system." "The executives have all arrived." " Aya..." " Yes?" "Never mind." "Where's Mr. Kurozuka?" "In conference room #4." "The executives have all arrived." " Here's your tea." " Don't go, you have time." "But if there's nothing here for me to..." "There are important files I need to see." "Where's the data on the three-dimensional computer graphics?" "That's highly confidential information." "I told you to show it to me." "I can't do that." "What are you talking about?" "I'm the senior managing director." "I don't know anything about that." "You dare disobey me?" "I like you..." "Your scent is not a woman's..." "I'm right, aren't I?" "I'll make you mine." "The smell of a virgin..." "There's no time to lose." " I think I'd like a taste!" " Help!" "You dare disobey me?" "Just you try!" "Mr. Adachi!" "There seems to be a power outage." "Could you check on it?" "It's already begun." "The curse has been unleashed." "Who are you?" "As the youngest member of the Adachi clan, you must accept your duty." "Your destiny was pre-determined in ancient times." "You are the only one capable of capturing the evil spirits." "Are you the one who brought this book?" "You are the chief protector." "I warned you not to get virgin's blood on the stone." " Virgin's blood?" " I'll check..." "This is only the beginning... the blood of innocents will flow until you stop this evil." "Osakare, it's me!" "Don't do it..." "You're mad..." "Give me that sword!" "It's horrible..." "I can't believe it." "You're the only one who can stop the bloodshed." "You must contain the evil." "Mr. Adachi, please do something." "I'll take care of it." "What must I do?" "The stone monument..." "It can stop those ghouls?" "Look, this is what you need." "This isn't enough." "A woman?" "You require the power of a virgin." "Not more virgins!" "What about you?" "She has to be human." "A girl, a girl..." "What about Tamami Amano?" "You can forget about her - she's been around the block more times than the postman!" "Not that, where is she?" "She went to the cafeteria." "Adachi..." " Mr. Adachi!" " We've got to help her..." "The elevators and everything else are out of order." "I'll take the stairs." "I'll bring the stone monument, and while I'm doing that, you think of some way of stopping this." "Why did that idiot lock the door again?" "Mr. Adachi, your sandwiches." "Come this way!" "Hold tight." "Be careful." "Tamami, can you run?" "What happens if we can't find a virgin?" "Everyone dies." "No way, it's been a short life." "Why now, just when we're on the verge of the greatest invention of the 20th century?" "If you play your cards right, I can get you an in with the ghosts in the afterlife." "You'll get along just fine with them." "That's it!" "The invention of the century!" "I found a virgin, a really kick-ass one!" "Are you all right?" "You should be able to get out through the security office." "What about you?" " I'm not done here yet." " I'll help." "As your boss, I order you to leave." " I'll stay." " Get out of here." "Mr. Adachi, the doors are all locked, but the electricity is off." "You mustn't touch the body before the police arrive." "Adachi..." "Adachi..." "Leave this to us." "I found a virgin!" "What is this program?" "Something I was working on in my free time." "It's for gaming." " How do you know she's a virgin?" " That's another program..." "Leave it alone; it was harmless fun." "Can you make her materialize?" "It's a shot in the dark." "Where's Tamami?" "I made her leave." "I can't do this by myself..." "It's no good, I need another set of hands here!" "How about a monster's hands?" "Adachi, you're no ordinary young man." "You have a special bond with monsters." "I've never seen monsters so fervent before." "We're almost there - keep working!" "Get back!" "It's too late..." "We've had it." "That was splendid." "Tamami, I didn't know you were a virgin." "Mr. Adachi!" "They're gone now." "They returned to their home." "Will they ever return?" "So long as people like you don't forget about monsters, they'll always return." "Monsters will always live... in the darkest corners of the human heart."
