Monster Volume 8 : My Nameless Hero Chapter the Sixty-Eighth My Nameless Hero - Page 185 - Inmate: I see... so Johan finally got around to manipulating that old money-bags! I know I been tellin' you about Johan for a while, Dr. Gillen, but... The guy's like a monster... Chapter 68 : My Nameless Hero Gillen: A monster, huh... Inmate: I mean, I killed my own fair share of people... But he's above and beyond what I could ever be! Man, Johan's like, my hero... - Page 186 - Gillen: I see. Now, there's one more thing I want to ask you... Inmate: What is it? Gillen: If you were Johan, what would you do next? Inmate: Next...? Man, that's obvious! I'd kill his current parents... the Lieberts. [Liebert Household, Hesse] Reichwein: (knock knock) Mr. Liebert! (knock knock) - Page 187 - Reichwein: MR. LIEBERT!! Gillen: Why would you do that...? Inmate: Why...? Cause I'm tired of them. Chapter 68 : My Nameless Hero - Page 188 - Reichwein: Mr. Liebert!! Mr. Liebert!! Mr. L... Lieberts: Yes... may I help you? Psychologist...? And what do need of us, Dr. Reichwein? - Page 189 - Reichwein: I don't want to take up your time with a lot of preface. I need to discuss your adopted son Johan with you. Lieberts: Johan... adopted...? What are you saying? He's our flesh-and-bl... Reichwein: You can't fool me!! Your real child's grave is in Bruntal!! You used the burning of the town hall as an opportunity to change the records and pretend your son was still alive... Liebert: What do you want...? Reichwein: Don't worry, I'm not here to threaten you! I've come for your sake. I want you to read this! - Page 190 - Lieberts: Huh?! Reichwein: It's a detailed report about Johan. Liebert: About Johan...? Reichwein: Yes... someone collected all the information for me. Photo: (flap) Liebert: Oh... We know him... He came to our door as an insurance salesman... Reichwein: He is Richard Brown, a former detective. Liebert: Detective...? Reichwein: And he is... dead. - Page 191 - Reichwein: Now, please read... It begins in 1986, when an East German politian fled to West Germany. Gillen: Is he looking for money? Inmate: Money... He's not interested in money. Gillen: Then why is he with this wealthy man? Inmate: Hehehe... You remember doin' that as a kid? Gillen: Doing what? Inmate: You got a line of ants walkin' along... - Page 192 - Inmate: Take that little row of ants... And break it up. Paper: (fwap) Lieberts: Impossible... I can't possibly believe such a frightening story... It's ridiculous... Reichwein: I understand you don't want to believe it. - Page 193 - Reichwein: You lost your child at a young age... And then, unblessed with more children, another young boy the same age as your son appeared. And he even had money. He gave you a wonderful house. He gave you a beautiful garden. And... He gave you love. I understand that you want to believe him! But everything written here is true! - Page 194 - Reichwein: What is Johan? Just who in the world is he? Lieberts: Johan is... a good boy. Johan is a gentle child. He's smart... and independent. He is our reason for living. - Page 195 - Reichwein: Is that all...? You lived with him for nearly five years... And that's all you have to say about him?! You know nothing about Johan. You must help me here! My friend Richard died because of him! And even now, a man named Dr. Tenma... - Page 196 - Reichwein: He is going to do something that can never be taken back. Please help me! No... more importantly... Like the middle-aged couples written about here... As foster parents of Johan, you will soon... be killed. Leave this place! Come with me!! - Page 197 - Reichwein: (crek) (tmp...) - Page 198 - Lieberts: There are little apples ripening on our apple tree. Ahhh... next year, we'll get some bigger ones. I look forward to that. Yes... so do I. - Page 199 - Inmate: He's gonna be killed by a Japanese soon...? Johan told some kids that? Gillen: Yes... what do you think of those words? Inmate: Hahaha... Let me tell you, Johan has no intention at all of committing suicide. Gillen: Then what does he mean? Inmate: I dunno... It's difficult to comprehend the thoughts of a hero... All I can tell you is this. Even if a nuclear war burned everything to the ground, he'd survive. - Page 200 - Inmate: Kahahahaha... [Reichwein Household] Dieter: (pom) Tape: All I can tell you is this... Even if a nuclear war burned everything to the ground, he'd survive. - Page 201 - Reichwein: So what it means, is that we can do nothing... Everything we've tried so far has been fruitless. I wasn't even able to save Richard... Gillen: Professor Reichwein... Reichwein: Haven't been able to find Dr. Tenma... I can't even stop him from trying to kill Johan!! Everything has failed!! Gillen: Professor Reichwein, please settle down and think!! - Page 202 - Reichwein: ...I'm sorry. Dieter: (pom) Reichwein: Like disrupting a line of ants... Even ants... have souls. Gillen: Where are you going, Professor? Reichwein: My only choice is to risk my life fighting at close quarters!! Gillen: Huh? - Page 203 - Reichwein: I'll go straight to meet Schuwald, and tell him everything myself!! [College Library] Men: What? Add 50 more chairs? Yeah, yeah, they just keep adding more guests!! Talkin' about Schuwald's donation ceremony tomorrow? Yeah, we gotta make sure all the bigwigs can get their seats. - Page 204 - Men: Anything Schuwald does these days is big news! Tenma: (kchk) (tmp)(tmp)(kchk) (tmp) (kchk) Speaker: The library will be closing shortly. The library will be... Tenma: (kchk) - Page 205 - Lotte: Excuse me... Sorry. Could you grab that for me? - Page 206 - Tenma: Huh? Lotte: That Czech dictionary there... I can't reach it... Tenma: Oh... sure. This one? Lotte: Ah... thank you so much. Tenma: No problem... Lotte: I borrowed a Czech storybook, and I can't even read it... Tenma: Oh... I see... Lotte: A friend of mine was reading this book, and he just fainted, out of the blue. Tenma: Hmmm... Lotte: I thought maybe the contents of the book had something to do with it... - Page 207 - Tenma: Your friend... Is he or she better now...? Lotte: Yes, perfectly. Thank you. Tenma: Sure... Lotte: Let's see... (tmp)(tmp) "Once upon a time"... Mmm-hmmm... Tenma: (crmp) (krsh) Lotte: "There lived a nameless monster." Tenma: Ugh!! - Page 208 - Tenma: (hahh)(hahh) Lotte: "He was dying to have a name." Tenma: (kchk) Lotte: "So the monster set out on a journey." What a weird book... Librarian: Closing time!! Lotte: Oh... okay. Librarian: We're closed tomorrow for the ceremony. - Chapter 68 Owari - - Volume 8 Kan -
