THE MONSTER CHAPTER SUMMARY

P1) Main Character: Mashimori[L1] fights and kills the Junisha police Captain[L2] who was trained in the spiritual arts and knew of the Banshee's real identity. She takes the Forbidden Seed[L3] back to the Banshee rally point.

1) Every Night in Hell: Mashimori gives the relic to her Vicera[L4] and sister Ganumoda[L5] , who starts treating her badly when hearing of their master's arrival to Tokyo. Mashimori is given a stealth assignment.

2) First Day of School: Mashimori meets a few girls and even an attractive guy during her first day at Junisha High School. She has flashbacks and hides her Numacult[L6] in her gym locker.

3) New Evil: Ganumoda no longer brings human sacrifices to Mashimori's cell to eat and the Banshee Apprentice must find another human sacrifice to devour. She runs into Kim[L7] , the first girl she met at high school.

4) The Expectation: Mashimori returns to the base and is confronted by Ganumoda who was spying on her. She threatens to kill her unless she starts devouring only students from Junisha High.

5) The Second Day: Mashimori tries to understand why her sister is being so cruel and tries to ignore her constant hunger and mental pain. Sakumora asks the girl to the Friday the 13th Dance.

6) What Normal Is: Sakumora[L8] is given permission to stay at Kim's house to prepare and go to the Dance, only if she devours someone from the home. Mashimori has actual fun and even kisses Sakumora.

P2) Needing the Siege: Ganumoda speaks with Master Malice the Sinister[L9] on Mashimori's increasing demonic plague, which annoys the Banshee Vicera. Malice notices that Mashimori hasn't been using her Numacult lately and blames the Vicera, which angers Ganumoda.

7) Sakumora's Death: Mashimori sleeps over Kim's house and remembers that she devoured her friend's terminally ill grandmother. The Banshee finds out that Sakumora has been killed and the Banshee symbol[L10] is found on his corpse.

8) Chokehold: Mashimori throws her Numacult at her sister and decides to leave the base, which Ganumoda cannot allow. The two fight a bloody, Banshee duel with Mashimori barely winning in the end.

9) Best Friend Kim: Mashimori slinks to find help as she looses both blood and Banshee mercury heavily by the second. Kim finds her and wants to call the police, but Mashimori says not to. After finally healing herself thanks to Ganumoda's power, she tells Kim the truth about who she is.

10) The Social Classes: Kim packs Mashimori a few life rodents, which makes the Banshee cry happily. A few cheerleaders bully Mashimori, saying that she looked just like the girl that killed the police captain and was somehow responsible for Sakumora's death.

P3) The Next Step: Malice learns of Ganumoda's death and sends a Vicera after the Banshee apprentice, promising him the girl's body after she goes Banshee Frisen[L11] .

11) The Big Game: Mashimori does well for her basketball team and finally starts feeling accepted. After the game, a girl on the team named Rusikia[L12] accuses Mashimori of asking her out and humiliates her in front of everyone.

12) Locker Room Brawl: Rusikia assaults the Banshee, Mashimori realizing that she can't fight back. Mashimori realizes her Numacult is in her locker – only to be kicked right in the teeth by Rusikia. The girl – who is actually another Banshee Vicera – puts Mashimori's Numacult around her neck and allows the Banshee Frisen to kill all the members of the basketball team and eventually kill Rusikia.

13) Vanishing Act: Before dying, Rusikia curses the Master and says that she was tricked into thinking Mashimori was weaker than she truly is. Mashimori wants to go back to Kim's house to say goodbye, but is stopped by Wuren[L13] , the newspaper vendor from the first prelude. It turns out that he was an Expulis[L14] – like the police Captain – and fought Malice, barely escaping with his life. He offers to train Mashimori.

14) Junisha United: Mashimori finds herself in a hospital and Kim – with her father[L15] – comes to see her. Police officers find her as well, accusing her of being the Banshee that killed the police Captain. She decides to sacrifice herself for the lives of the humans and challenges Malice to a final fight.

15) Burning City: Wuren Asagio trains the police officers in the arts of supernatural weaponry and Rooks[L16] with the help of the Asagio Brigade[L17] . Kim talks with Mashimori, begging her to reconsider. Malice brings an army of powerful Vicera Banshees, who fight it out with the energized police officers and Brigade members.

16) Let Me Die: As the city burns, Malice seems to overpower Mashimori and reminds her of the Monster she truly is. At first, Mashimori allows Malice to put a new and improved Numacult on her. But she chooses a new path: She's a monster, but she doesn't have to an evil one.

E) The Monster: The new police captain[L18] wants to execute Mashimori, and she is ready to accept that fate. But Asagio and Kim – who decides to start dating Mashimori – begs the captain to change his mind. Wuren decides to enlist Mashimori in the Asagio Brigade and help her control her demonic plague.
