Caiman 在 The Hole 與術師戰鬥，同時尋找將他變身的人。

Caiman, a large man with a spiked lizard-like head, and his friend Nikaido fight a pair of sorcerers in The Hole. One sorcerer tries to fight back, only to discover Caiman is immune to magic before being killed by him. The second one, Fujita, gets his finger broken by Nikaido before barely escaping through a magic door. Caiman and Nikaido head back home, and pass by an alleyway where Nikaido remembers an unidentified sorcerer transforming him, though the rest of his memory is blank. Ever since, Caiman has been shoving sorcerers headfirst into his mouth where they encounter a head he can't see, and if the head says "you are not the one" then Caiman kills them. Caiman thinks that if he finds and kills that sorcerer, he can get his human head back. Later, Caiman gets a part-time job at a local hospital for people injured or killed by sorcerers. While heading back to Nikaido's restaurant, the Hungry Bug, Caiman finds a rookie sorcerer transforming Nikaido into an insect. Caiman quickly kills the sorcerer and turns Nikaido back to normal. The next day, Nikaido and Caiman take a picture of the inside of Caiman's mouth, unsuccessfully trying to get a clue to the head's identity, when another magic door appears nearby. Caiman quickly shoves the female sorcerer into his mouth, but Fujita emerges through another door to drag the woman, Ebisu, back to the sorcerers' world before she can tell Caiman what she saw. Ebisu escapes Caiman's jaws, but has her face torn off in the process. That night, Kaiman has a nightmare about the person inside his mouth, and a pair of Cleaners go to work on several enemies.

包裡的物品 / 用餐時保持安靜 / 鄰居是魔法師

居民為爭奪金屬板與殭屍實驗體展開激戰，而Kaiman和Nikaido則正面迎戰Shin和Noi。

Several Hole residents arm themselves for the "Night of the Living Dead," an annual event where stray magic causes dead experiments to rise from the grave as zombies, and local priests have turned the night into a competition, offering prizes for whoever can collect enough metal plates from the zombies' necks. Kaiman, Nikaido, and Vaux decide to join the festivities. Menawhile, Fujita gets Noi to magically heal Ebisu before Shin leads the group to the Hole to hunt down Kaiman and Nikaido. However, they land in the middle of the Night. Later, Kaiman and Nikaido find themselves facing off against Shin and Noi, while Ebisu gets bitten by a zombie. Shin and Noi quickly beat them down, forcing Nikaido to use her own magic power to create a Door and escape. Five days later, Kaiman recovers in the hospital when Vaux tells him Nikaido is a sorcerer, but Kaiman doesn't believe him. Kaiman returns to the Hungry Bug as Nikaido wonders what he'll think of her past as a sorcerer. Soon after, Vaux appears with Kaiman's severed head in a jar, unsure what to do with it after Kaiman somehow regrew it. The three head to the hospital to perform an autopsy on the head, but are soon interrupted by an invisible force that shuts off the hospital's power and steals the head in the confusion.

En Family 遭遇法師分身與死靈法師的秘密，Caiman 在 Hole 中尋求自我。

The En Family visits a sorcerer named Turkey, who uses magic to create temporary clones. Turkey's clone leads the En Family to an abandoned apartment, where they find a rotting head in a safe. Noi heals the head and discovers it's the same as the clone's, a member of the anti-magic Cross-Eyes gang that opposes En. Later, the En Family goes to a formal party where En hopes to recruit a potential partner: a sorcerer with the ability to bring people back from the dead. However, En soon finds out that the necromancer uses illegal black powder to enhance her powers and kills her, revealing that the true source of the resurrecting ability was actually a small cat-like creature hidden under the false necromancer's dress. En adopts the creature and names it "Kikurage". Meanwhile in Hole, Caiman and Nikaido go to visit a doctor, who might be able to help Caiman find his identity. After entering the doctor's home, they get lost and decide to have an impromptu New Year's Day meal, during which they are joined by doctor Kasukabe, who then shows the duo a magic door, made from vivisected sorcerers, that allows passage to their world.

Caiman 和 Nikaido 調查 Risu，Shin 和 Noi 則消滅 Cross-Eyes 成員。

Disguised as sorcerers, Caiman and Nikaido begin searching for clues. Pausing to eat at a restaurant, Nikaido wanders off and is handed a calling card by a demon, while Caiman suddenly recovers some of his memories, realizing the man in his mouth was a person he knew called Risu. Concurrently, En uses Kikurage to revive the Cross-Eyes head found in the safe, who reveals he is Risu. En places Risu's head on a magic-powered mechanical body and interrogates him further, but Risu provides little information of value. En sends Shin and Noi follow a lead on a base owned by Cross-Eyes. Initially trying to negotiate with the Cross-Eyes for their boss' location, Shin and Noi are attacked but easily retaliate and kill them. Caiman and Nikaido stalk a Cross-Eyes member they spot in the restaurant, only to lose and then find him after Shin and Noi's massacre. Their leads cold besides Risu's name, Nikaido suggests she and Caiman split up to cover more ground. Working alone, Nikaido sells her powder in a magic smoke pawn shop, killing the owner and stealing back her magic once he pays her. Nikaido then meets with a devil named Asu, who reveals that Risu is being held by En; she breaks into En's mansion only to encounter Noi, who challenges her to a fight. (Source: Wikipedia)

二階堂的逃亡、新的魔法師過去，以及下水道綁架案

Nikaido evades Noi, finding her way to Risu. Trying to abduct him, Nikaido punches En and shatters his mask, enraging him and causing a huge magic outburst that covers everything in mushrooms. Risu, unaffected by En's magic due to it powering his prosthetic body, uses the confusion to flee. Nikaido also narrowly escapes but is injured, forcing Caiman to take her to Vaux when a huge mushroom sprouds from within her back. Speaking with Vaux and Kasukabe, Caiman learns they know Shin as a former patient. A flashback shows that sorcerers were historically considered a lesser caste in Hole, hunted and killed by human gangs. Shin, unaware his late mother was a sorcerer, accidentally bleeds magic dust at work, causing his boss to inform the local vigilantes. Fleeing, Shin returns home to find his father has been tortured to death by the vigilantes, prompting him to single-handedly murder them with a claw hammer. Shin uses hospital equipment to vivisect his arms and try surface his magic veins, hoping to increase their power at risk of bleeding to death; he is found by Drs. Vaux and Kasukabe, who reconstruct his arms and surface his veins, fully activating Shin's magic but leaving his arms paralyzed. Following Shin's surgery, Vaux and Kasukabe receive a large influx of magic victims: the remaining local vigilantes, whom Shin has dismantled into living pieces using his newly acquired magic, leading to the dissolution of Hole's vigilantes. In the present, Kasukabe insists to Caiman that Nikaido is a sorcerer, noting that they operated on her and that sorcerers have distinct anatomy due to their magic veins. Hearing a scream, Caiman runs to her room and finds she's been abducted from her bed. Pursuing the kidnapper, Kaiman follows them into the sewers at the alley where he first awoke. Pinned by the kidnapper's giant humanoid cockroach, Johnson, the Kidnapper mistakenly believes that crystalized beads of magic powder in sorcerers are gemstones that can turn him into a sorcerer; cutting off the Kidnapper's feet and throwing it to distract Johnson, the Kidnapper claims to recognize Caiman and Nikaido from the day the former appeared, only to die from blood loss.

En 調查當鋪，Fujita 則潛入敵對醫院的棒球賽以對峙 Caiman。

En buys the magic pawn shop and has Shin and Noi investigate it, discovering that Ebisu has sold her magic powder there several times; he orders her stocked powder to be examined to learn her magical specialism. Despite his help, En reveals he has been unable to find Fujita a replacement partner. A bitter Fujita heads to Hole, plotting to find and kill Caiman with a pistol; while initially taunting his unpopularity, Ebisu follows him to help. Shortly afterwards, a worker returning with Ebisu's magic powder trips, accidentally throwing the vial and smashing it on Noi, causing her to scream. Vaux, visiting The Hungry Bug, bemoans that they lack a required ninth needed player for their baseball match against a rival hospital; Thirteen, a regular at Nikaido's restaurant, volunteers himself. Across Hole, Fujita applies at the rival hospital for their pitcher position to get closer to Caiman, with Ebisu being taken as their mascot. Preparing to pitch, Fujita is horrified to see their first batsman is Matsumura, his corpse reanimated by Kasukabe (à la Frankenstein's monster) and kept docile using electricity. The rival hospital begins cheating to try and win the match, with Ebisu drugging their remaining pitchers; in response Kasukabe uses Johnson, domesticated and controllable through elecro-shocking, to regain the lead. Fujita then begins sipping a drink that increases his smoke output, allowing him to affect the speed of the ball; Nikaido, skilled enough to bat the shot, accidentally concusses the rival hospital director, allowing Fujita to escape with Matsumura during the confusion. Shin follows Noi, who has turned into a reptilian humanoid due to Ebisu's magic and began an uncontrollable rampage. Shin narrowly manages to incapacitate Noi, getting seriously maimed in the process. En has Shin carry Noi up to a man called Chota, a sorcerer obsessively infatuated with En who restores Noi to normal by mixing a dispelling potion. Elsewhere in the mansion, Ebisu complains her head hurts from stealing Fujita's smoke-enhancing drink, only to be attacked by the undead Matsumura, who has become violent without his shock treatment. Overwhelmed and under attack, Ebisu emits a huge amount of magic and transforms herself into a huge dinosaur, causing her to crush Matsumura's remains into a paste in a rage.

藤田未能讓松村復活，鱷魚加入派店，松鼠回憶起幫派謀殺案

Fujita takes Matsumura's pulped remains to Kikurage, who is unable to restore him to life. The report on Ebisu's magic powder explains she is the sorcerer who can turn things into a reptiles; Ebisu confirms this, her returning memories including the man in Caiman's mouth saying "You're the one who got in my way!" Caiman, unwilling to let Nikaido get hurt any further, quits his job and heads back to the sorcerer world alone, leaving Nikaido to learn of it from Vaux. Shortly after arriving in the magic realm Caiman intervenes in thugs trying to kidnap a pie-maker named Fukuyama, leading Fukuyama's bosses Tanba and Kirion to take him in as cover staff for his pie shop. Risu returns to his apartment, where his head was found inside a safe, and recalls his death. Sent on a routine job by the Cross-Eyes, he turns down his friend Aikawa's offer for company as he is explicitly told to go alone. Waiting at his meeting point, an unknown assailant fatally stabs Risu from behind. Risu sees part of his killer's reflection as he dies, glimpsing a Cross-Eyes tattoo; he was murdered by a member of his own gang. In the present Risu realizes that he is starting to run out of magic charge, at which point and his body will fail and he'll be helpless. En begins planning the Blue Night Festival, a multi-day event where sorcerers place ads and applications to seek a partner, ending the event by signing a demon's binding magical contract with their partners. Caiman sneaks into the event by leaving work and stealing an event employee uniform, but becomes sidetracked when other workers keep giving him responsibilities. Noi goes to the toilet alone only to be blown up by another magic user, Baku, who seeks to force her into being his partner over Shin. (Source: Wikipedia)

理久康復，恩鎖定二藤，真與諾伊的過去揭曉

Shin finds the bathroom destroyed and Noi missing, only to be incapacitated with sniper-fired sedatives by Baku's accomplice, Yaku. Caiman is accidentally injured by both Baku and Yaku, prompting Tanba to pick a fight with them. Caiman causes Baku to accidentally self-destruct by cutting off his detonation hand, while Fukuyama reveals his magic skill by turning Yaku into a giant meat pie, the group unknowingly saving Shin in the process. Elsewhere, Risu breaks into the Blue Night Festival to steal stored smoke, only to find Baku's magic-inhibiting chest containing Noi. Opening the door and unwittingly freeing Noi, her healing magic immediately triggers and floods the room, also regrowing Risu's original body in the process. A flashback shows how Shin and Noi met a decade ago: a homeless Shin, his limp arms now rotting, is challenged to a fair fight for stealing food by En's cousin, revealed to be Noi. Shin's arms are healed and he strikes her with his claw hammer, fleeing while yelling he'll pay her back. Shin is shortly hired as En's cleaner and quickly becomes friends with Noi, who is undergoing grueling training to ascend into a demon; her final exam requires full magic abstinence for a year. As Blue Night approaches Shin and Noi are attacked by Baku and Yaku, with Shin victorious but fatally injured; Shin considers his debt repaid, but Noi immediately fails her exam to save his life. Hiring Noi as Shin's understudy, En pushes them into a contract partnership. In the present, Noi finally locates Shin's unconscious body in time to renew their contracts before Blue Night ends. Fujita admits he's devastated that he couldn't find his only partnership applicant, only to realize it was Ebisu from her bashful response. En discovers Nikaido was also the pawn shop attacker and that her magic could be the rumored time control power he is seeking. En creates a voodoo doll of Nikaido, causing her to collapse at Vaux's birthday party as a huge mushroom familiar bursts from her mushroom scar. (Source: Wikipedia)

Nikaido 遭 En 困住，Caiman 則與 Tanba 一同調查 Risu 的下落

Attacked by the familiar in The Hungry Bug, Nikaido and Johnson manage to distract it long enough for everyone to escape upstairs. In a flashback, Nikaido recalls receiving her sorcerer's mask from her demon friend Asu; climbing into her loft and recovering it, she gains the strength to easily defeat the familiar. This is revealed to be a trap, however, as the familiar's pooling blood turns into a door on the ground, dropping everyone into En's mansion. The head demon Chidaruma appears and confirms that Nikaido's magic can control time and, despite her blatant lack of consent, Nikaido is forced to exchange contracts with En. Shin and Noi also successfully renew their contracts, while an upset Fujita is unable to enter a partnership with Ebisu as she suffers diarrhea and cannot sign before the night ends. Caiman, suffering mysterious nightmares based on his unrecalled memories, goes for a late walk but is followed by Tanba, who interrogates him. Learning Caiman is actually a magic victim and not a sorcerer, Tanba offers to help him find the Cross-Eyes through a potential lead; he received a letter from a Cross-Eyes customer on death row who wants Fukuyama's pie as his last meal, and brings Caiman along. Caiman puts the prisoner into his mouth, who recognizes the man inside as Risu, but he cannot explain before he is dragged into Hell; Caiman is narrowly saved from the same fate when Asu appears, who warns him that Nikaido is imprisoned at En's mansion. Nikaido's contract begins to make her submit to En, and En requests she be given a new mask by Chidaruma. Kasukabe, Johnson, Thirteen and Vaux escape En's dungeon, with Johnson having a cockroach pick locks and Kasukabe stealing Fujita's gun; Kasukabe holds him at gunpoint, only to be surprised and pinned by Shin.

Shin 轉移至安全地帶，Nikaido 得知 En 悲慘的過去，Caiman 介入派餅比賽。

Shin recognizes Kasukabe as the doctor who saved his life, and moves his group to a safe-house; later agreeing to release them, he refuses their appeals to free Nikaido too. In En's mansion Nikaido is mentored by Chota, who begins trying to murder her out of jealousy under the false pretense assassination survival training. Chota then shows Nikaido an autobiographical movie that explains En's past. En's substantial magic power turned his parents into mushrooms when he was a baby, leading him to be picked up by a burglar who sold into a trafficking ring that bleeds sorcerers of their smoke for profit. Left to die once his smoke dried up, En's rage allowed him to survive even being thrown into Hell; eventually noticed by head demon Chidaruma, who named him En, he soon returned him to the magic world and began liberating sorcerers and building his family. After twenty years unopposed, En watched as his capos began dying to a sorcerer hunter, identified as a knife-fighter with cross tattoos on his eyes. With his inner circle dead and Shin and Noi seriously wounded, En attacked the assassin in a rage and blacked out; coming to with the entire neighborhood engulfed in giant mushrooms, later labelled a freak incident dubbed "The Death Shroom Incident", En saw the assassin step through a closing magic door despite being beheaded. The film ends and En appears, explaining to Nikaido that he needs her time powers to return to the Death Shroom Incident and confirm whether the assassin really did survive. Disguised as Tanba's pie mascot, Caiman assists him in a cook-off against his ex-wife Asuka held outside En's estate. Asuka tries to cheat the contest, enchanting her pies to make customers obsessed with them; Caiman seizes the distraction to drag Nikaido away from a distracted En. Nikaido stops Caiman and argues that she wants to be with En, unaware of the contract's effect on her. Caiman warns her that he's rescuing her by force if need be, and Nikaido asks if he thinks he can. (Source: Wikipedia)

校園回憶、男女之戰與拉鉤約定

In a flashback, Risu reports on an implied assassination for the Cross-Eyes, only for his friend Aikawa to interfere and attack the gangsters. Aikawa warns Risu against affiliating with the Cross-Eyes, but Risu argues against it; despite attending a sorcerey school Risu is still unable to produce any magic smoke, and feels that the Cross-Eyes' rumored research in Berith is the only hope for people who can't use magic. In the present, Risu heads to Berith in search of his killer. An unwilling Caiman is forced to defend himself against Nikaido, but refuses to seriously fight back; Nikaido beats Caiman severely, taunting him by confirming that she is a sorcerer. Hallucinating from a concussion and his legs crushed, Caiman tries to crawl to safety but blacks out; Nikaido pursues but is stabbed in the back by an unseen man she doesn't recognize. Chota gleefully finds Nikaido's body, only for Asu to appear and pull En's contract out through her wound; Asu hands Chota the contract in exchange for his silence. Nikaido wakes and Asu explains that she has only came to her senses temporarily: being close to En will cause her contract to regrow, with the only true solutions being En's death, Chidaruma nullifying it, or waiting for the next Blue Night to pass. Caiman, unconscious from his wounds, recalls awaking in Vaux's hospital in a dream. Unable to remember even his name, Nikaido notes he looks like a caiman and suggests it as a nickname, which he adopts. Waking in the present, Caiman grabs Nikaido and shoves her in his mouth as she's a sorcerer; Nikaido informs him that the man in his mouth is Risu, and Asu informs them that Risu is currently in Berith. Asu opens a magic door to help them escape En, buying them time by transforming Chota into Nikaido's doppelgänger. Exiting the door in a ruined city, Caiman and Nikaido hide from patroling demons in an abandoned subway. Asked about her past, Nikaido explains that her magic can control time but accidentally killed a friend with it, causing her to swear off using it for life. She began hiding in Hole to try and evade people like En who would want to exploit it, protecting humans from sorcerers in the hope she would become closer to a human. Given that she refuses to use magic and promises to stay friends when Caiman reverts to normal, they agree to stay friends. (Source: Wikipedia)
