--jbar--M-my father seald me?!e 
--ibua--Oh? You really don't rmembr?e 
--jbar--W-?! Why? All this tim... e
--ibua--You were a child. Becaus you wre raging out of control, you were sald.e 
--jbar--What?!e 
--ibue--Well, I think th cause of it was probably th operation I prformed on your body. e
--jbar--Opration?!e 
--ibua--Thre was somthing wrong with your       organs, so I didn't have a choic. e
--ibua--I wondr if you know what a tumor is?e 
--icua--If I lft it alon, thre was a high     probability th tumor would tak over your body.e 
--icua--Threfore, I surgically extractd some    organs as a last rsort. e
--jbar--Th-those organs...e 
--icua--Th Scarlt Pod pouches...... e
--jbar--Huh? What? Scarlt Pod... pouchs?e 
--ibua--It's not gnerally well known, but very  girl has them.e 
--ibua--Under th blly button, next to th      utrus.e 
--icua--Do you know what they ar? Thy're rd,  soft, and flabby things.e 
--icua--Well, thy're used to excrete a crtain   kind of substanc. e
--ibua--Becaus they contain a high magic powr,  thy're called Gem Fragments now.e 
--ibua--Thy're used as an ingrdint in magical splls.e 
--ibua--Th Scarlt Pod pouches... it's an organ  that manufactures thos gm fragments.e 
--jbar--S-so, your operation rmoved thos organs from my body? e
--jbar--I don't have them anymor? e
--ieua--You can't releas scarlt pods anymore... once gon those organs don't heal. e
--icua--But you wouldn't die immdiatly. e
--icua--All not having them removed would do is makeyour body th sam as a man's.e 
--ieua--That rally isn't all that bad.e 
--ieua--I've also performed th operation on many  girls other than you. e
--icua--But, when th girls who'v had the        opration turn 15 or 16... e
--icua--A madnss dscnds on them, and they     start going bersrk. e
--jbar--A madnss?!e 
--icua--An evil possssion... it's possible its thecondition Bersrk Ignition.e 
--ieua--In that, the rag pushes th body past    it's limit. e
--ieua--As it continues, the body can't take the    strain, and ventually thy us up thir lif. e
--ieua--Or maybe they're thratned by the humans around them, or try to tak their own lif. e
--ieua--For thos with th Scarlt Pod pouches   removed...
--ieua--Th probability of that happening bcomes xtremely high.e 
--ieua--Th symptoms don't always appar for thosewho have the surgery, so it isn't bannd...e 
--ieua--But, the probability is much higher for     thos who'v had the operation. eA
--jbar--K-knowing that, you performed that operationon m?!e 
--ibua--Yeah, I knw. But... your father approvd th operation. e
--iaua--As long as it would let you surviv even a little longer, h said.e 
--ieua--Th operation was a success, and you were  as halthy as bfore. e
--ibua--But, immdiatly aftr something stranghappned.e 
--ibua--Now, normally, 15 is when th illness      starts having a chance to take hold.e 
--ibua--However... with you, it happned ahad of schedule. e
--jbar--IH Are you saying I went into that        bersrk state? e
--ibua--Yeah, that's right. e
--uuua--You were vry young. Suddnly, with a     scream, you went crazy. e
--aaaa--You began to unlash torrnts of magical  power, and wnt totally brsrk. e
--aaaa--Your body was restraind and you were      imprisond.e 
--aaaa--For many days, you ignord all attempts at feding you and stayed bersrk. e
--aaaa--Many tims you brok fre of your        restraints.
--aaaa--Thre was always th risk of you killing  yourself by hitting your own had. ee
--aaaa--Whn you were lik that, there was no way of stopping you other than killing you. e
--aaaa--But, your fathr didn't want to do that.   So, in ordr to sav you, he studid new magic.e 
--aaaa--And he used that magic to seal you away.e 
--aaaa--Th sal compltely locked down your body. e
--aaaa--Your consciousness could b frely put to slp or awakened at will.e 
--aaaa--Whn you were fred from the sal aftr a whil, th frenzy had subsidd.e 
--aaaa--However, that was only tmporary.e 
--aaaa--After that, you were rpeatdly woken up  and put back to slp in fixd intervals.e 
--aaaa--You were fd in ordr to ensur that you didn't die. e
--aaaa--Becaus of this, ven though you wre    seald your body continued to age. e
--jbarufNo... so that's th rason my memoris   xcpt those of being a child ar so vagu... e
--idua--That's right... this wnt on for at last 10 yars.e 
--idua--Thn, 2 months ago, the Dmon Lord died...e 
--jbar--So father did... then th sal          disappard also? And that's why I got lik this?e 
--ibua--Whn I ran into the room with the sal, ithad already disappard.e 
--ibua--You had already lost consciousness and      collapsed on the floor. e
--ibua--And, from around your body, an enormous     amount of Gohma had appeard.e 
fbjbar--What?!e 
ind02
--mbaa--Mokyuuu... Mor things I don't get.e 
--mbaa--Th orbs... That's right, it isn't         something that coms out of us.e 
fnmaaa--It's... something kind of like poop.e

--jear--I... those monstrs... I summond th    Gohma?! Is that true?!e 
--ibua--Yes, that's it. Although, mayb it's more  accurate to say you cratd thm.e 
--ibua--Women who lost their Scarlt Pod pouches   descnd into madnss. e
--ibua--But, until then we had no ida why this    happned.e 
--ibua--But, by observing your symptoms and learningabout your condition... e
--ibua--I became aware of th Gohma. e
--ibua--Gohma appear as a phantom and lack substance. e
--ibua--But whn thy appear, thy have differenttraits and an vil aura springs forth. e
--ibua--Right now, you can't s the aura, but youcan fel it. e
--ibua--Evryon can fl it. e
--ibua--And so, thy began possssing people,     causing thm to dscnd into madnss. e
--ibua--Whn possssing someon, th Gohma      become invisible. e
--ibua--What are the conditions for an outbrak to occur? When, and where? e
--jbar--Conditions for an outbreak?!e 
--icua--Women... young girls... that is th answer.e 
--jbar--...What?! Thn...e 
--icua--Most likly, among humans, demons, and     demi-humans... the Gohma only take womn.e 
--icua--In addition to that, the womn it prefers  mit a certain something.e 
--ibua--And as they grow to adulthood, that         something incrass.e 
--ibua--As long as that something is excreted from  th organ, thy can protct themslvs.e 
--ibua--But, when th organ is removed, the        xcretion stops and the Gohma appar. e
--icua--And so the Gohma bcome abl to possss, and th brsrk condition starts.e 
--ieua--That's what I was able to discovr after   researching it for many years.e 
--jbar--Th-then what the hll are they? Why do     thy possss pople?!e 
--ieua--I don't know that much. At this point, I'm  thinking it's a single law of th world. e
--jbar--A law of the world?! Gohma, and that        bersrk condition?!e 
--ibua--Inded. That bersrk condition happens    verywhre in th world. e
--ibua--Whnever and whrever it happens, th    Gohma soon appar. e
--jbar--cce 
--idua--I wondr, was it 5 years ago? Your         fathr... the Dmon Lord...
--idua--He took a terrible intrest in it aftr I told him that information.e 
--idua--And he bgan to obsssivly study the    Gohma after hearing it. e
--ieua--After all, you had bcome lik that. And  in the end, we had no ida thir apparance. e
--ibua--But, w wre abl to devise a mthod to weakn th Gohma to an extnt. e
--jbar--A method of weakning them?! e
--icua--Th matrialization of the Gohma... e
--ibua--We can dtect Gohma using vocal magic, and at that location use our mthod. e
--ibua--As they're kind of lik a magical          cratur, our method forces thm to fus. e
--ibua--Although w can't control it perfctly, wecan prvent them from possessing others. e
--ibua--Well, th Gohma will still try verything in their powr in ordr to possess othrs. e
--ibua--In som cass, they gathr togethr and form a lgion when thir powr is wak. e
--iaua--But, if a materializd Gohma is dstroyed,it's gon for good.e 
--ibua--Becaus our mthod taks a grat dal  of tim, it's not sufficint for a large outbrak. e
--icua--Still, it's ffctiv at stopping Gohma  from overwhelming a person's body.e 
--iaua--Vocal magic is only able to be used inside  this castl. e
--ieua--Th Dmon Lord was abl to perfct the  method bfore h died.e 
--iaua--Becaus that method included vocal magic,  it will still work even with him dad. e
fbjbar--Fathr...e

--jbar--What did I do after I left the sal? e
--ibua--Your cartakers put you in a spar sal. e
--ibua--Becaus if you were just left alone,       ventually th Gohma would possess you again. e
--ibua--But, bcaus it was cratd by the      Demon Lord, it looks lik it wasn't prfct. e
--ieua--Evn inside the sal, th Gohma could    sens your prsenc. e
--ibua--Evn without being able to possss you,   thy were matrializd for a short time. e
--ibua--Becaus your caretakers handld all th  sealing, I don't rally know what happened.e 
--ibua--But, the problms wren't all causd by  th flawed seal. e
--ieua--Somehow, your spirit was abl to slip      outsid of th sal. e
--ibua--And you possssd that human boy, and     acquird th transformation ability.e 
--ibua--And... with that body, you undid the sal  and returnd to your own body. e
--jbar--ccBe 
--ibua--I have a question for you.e 
--jbar--W-what?!e 
--ibua--Whil you wre a shape shiftr, did you  xcrete gm fragments? And, how about now?e 
--jbar--Gem Fragments...? No... Not ven once... e
--ibua--Right... in other words, right now you'v  returnd to your original body.e 
--ibua--And whil you wre a Shape Shiftr, you  lackd thos organs just lik right now. e
--idua--But, if that's the cas, why ar the Gohmaonly apparing around attractiv pople? e
--jbar--IHe 
fbidua--Mayb you lik that boy?e 
ind08
--mbaa--Ah? It got intrrupted again.e
