Résumé
Deux agents immobiliers s'approchent de la maison de Rohan Kishibe pour conclure une vente de propriété avec lui. L'un des agents, le plus jeune, est émerveillé par la maison luxurieuse de Rohan. Son compère est cependant plus intéressé par l'opportunité de gonfler le prix de vente en pensant qu'un mangaka enfermé chez lui à longueur de journée fera une victime facile. A l'intérieur, Rohan est sur le point de commencer à dessiner mais les agents immobilier l'appellent.
A l'intérieur, les agents immobilier sortent un contrat pour conclure la vente de propriété. L'agent essaie alors d'entourlouper Rohan. Il explique que le terrain en montagne que Rohan veut acheter est maintenant brigué par une société de construction qui veut y construire un complexe touristique et ajoute que le propriétaire est désormais hésitant à vendre à Rohan pour le prix convenu jusque là. D'ailleurs, l'agent demande pourquoi Rohan irait jusqu'à acheter un terrain. Rohan rétorque que l'achat est pour son manga, ce à quoi l'agent demande pourquoi tant d'effort pour vendre sa série. Rohan se met alors en colère car il ne dessine pas pour l'argent et déclare qu'il travaille simplement pour qu'on le lise. Rohan signe le contrat mais utilise alors sa capacité spéciale Heaven's Door pour transformer les agents immobilier en livres. Il lit la biographie des agents et découvre qu'ils veulent le duper, et ainsi il commande les agents à faire une transaction équitable avec lui en écrivant l'ordre en eux. Il découvre l'un des secrets des agents et arrache la page pour la consulter plus tard.
Plus tard, Rohan a rendez-vous avec son éditrice Kyoka Izumi dans un café. Kyoka demande quel livre Rohan est en train de lire. Ce dernier répond "De Stäel" et s'énerve quand elle confond son livre d'art avec le roman "Crime et Châtiment". Au passage, Rohan signe un autographe pour un de ses jeunes lecteurs. Rohan demande alors à Kyoka s'il peut être payé en avance pour son prochain chapitre qui il est désormais ruiné et son livre est tout ce qu'il lui reste. Kyoka est alarmée que Rohan ait put soudainement perdre tout son argent et sa maison. Rohan s'explique et révèle qu'il a acheté toute une montagne car il pense que des yokai y résident, et se justifie de ne pas simplement y être allé parce qu'il a un calendrier très chargé et qu'une société menaçait d'acheter le terrain et de le ruiner en construisant dessus. Abasourdi, Kyoka demande s'il valait la peine d'acheter le terrain mais Rohan lui assure que si. En effet, il sait de source sûre que les yokais existent. Kyoka lui demande comment il le sait, ce qui amène Rohan à raconter l'histoire d'un homme (en fait lui-même) qui a rencontré un yokai venu de la montagne.
Rohan thus starts to narrate the story of Yoma Hashimoto, a man he's met at the gym though Rohan hides his direct involvement in the story. Yoma Hashimoto is a young fledgling model who spends his days at the gym. One day, Yoma decides to talk to Rohan, admiring the way he exercises. Rohan and Yoma get acquainted and Yoma notably explains that he's been told to start bodybuilding for his job, though Yoma prefers running by default. Yoma takes one of the treadmills but then two other members ask him if he can go because they use the same treadmill. As the two members begin to race each other on the treadmills, Yoma feels frustrated. He decides to run outside, running day and night at various locations. Eventually Yoma makes progress and his girlfriend Mika even notices that he's building up. Mika then encourages Yoma, saying that he will definitely pass the next audition. Yoma too notices the changes in his body and starts to admire himself in the mirror. When they dine together, Yoma mentions that he should specialize in developing a running body-type. He decides he can't eat Mika's pasta and asks that she prepares a high-protein diet for him and heads out to run again. That night, Yoma runs so far he ends up in the mountains.
The next day, Mika wakes up and see that Yoma has littered her home with training equipment. Yoma himself is jumping rope and is training his entire body to optimize his running potential. Mika then discovers that Yoma has stolen money from her to buy protein powder from the gym and she storms out in frustration. Someone rings the apartment's intercom and Yoma angrily calls out the deliveryman for disturbing his training, forcing Mika to apologize. Mika calls him out on it, but Yoma decides to go out running. On his way out, he sees the deliveryman again and confronts him.
At the gym, Rohan and Yoma talk again. Yoma decides to challenge Rohan to a game. He leads Rohan to the treadmills and explains that they can be set to go faster over time and that both can be stopped via a remote controller. Yoma thus challenges Rohan to see who can run and be the first one to reach the preset speed of 22 km/h. Whoever reaches that speed first can take the remote controller. After a while, both Rohan and Yoma reach the preset speed and try to take the remote at the same time. However, Yoma fails and falls out of the treadmill. Rohan offers his hand, but Yoma slaps it out of frustration and then starts running outside again. One evening, Mika discovers that Yoma has withdrawn 270,000 yen from her bank account and goes back to her apartment to demand an explanation. She is horrified when she sees her apartment walls covered in rock climbing holds and Yoma is clinging to the ceiling. Yoma then explains that he upgraded his gym membership to train there at night, having guessed her card's PIN as her ex's birthday. Infuriated, Mika orders Yoma to get out of her apartment and he deems that she now stands in his way. Later, Yoma confronts the two gym members who bothered him earlier.
That night, Rohan enters the gym and finds that it is empty except for Yoma. Yoma confronts Rohan and accuses Rohan of cheating in their last game by hitting the table so that the remote would fall over before Yoma could grab it. Rohan plays dumb and Yoma wants revenge with another game. Yoma shows off his body and Rohan notes with worry that he seems to have become incredibly athletic. This time, Yoma sets the limit at 25 km/h. Rohan wonders why the treadmills are facing the windows but Yoma doesn't answer and asks back if he is going to quit. Interested, Rohan accepts the challenge. The two begin to run. Mid-run, Rohan finally realizes that it is strange that there aren't even any trainers at the gym and then he notices the corpses of two members. Rohan wants to stop the race and reaches for the remote but Yoma breaks his fingers. Rohan falls to the ground and Yoma approaches him, insisting on continuing their game. Rohan thus uses Heaven's Door to read into his bio. Consulting his pages, Rohan notes that at one point, Yoma has become obsessed with running and training his body. Worse, he discovers that Yoma has killed a number of people such as Mika and even the deliveryman because they were in the way of his bodybuilding.
As Rohan examines the corpses of the gym members, Yoma actually gets out of his book state and resumes running on the treadmill. Yoma then throws some dumbbells at the windows behind the treadmills to up the ante and "invites" Rohan to continue their game. Rohan realizes that his curiosity has put him in a dangerous situation and yet he want to learn more about Yoma. Thus, he plays along and resumes running as well. The two begin to race and steadily approach the 25 km/h limit. Rohan and Yoma reach the limit at the same time and again try to reach for the remote controller. Yoma takes the controller first but he suddenly stops Rohan's treadmill instead. Rohan reveals that he had written a command in Yoma earlier and ordered him to stop Rohan's treadmill anyway. Surprised, Yoma cannot keep up the pace with his treadmill and falls out of the window.
In the present, Kyoka has trouble believing in this story because it wasn't in the news. Rohan answers that the police were briefly involved but there was no evidence to link anything together. Kyoka then questions whether the story has any connection with the mountain range Rohan has bought. Rohan reveals that one location from the story was crucial information, notably the hill that Yoma passed through while running. Arriving at his home, Rohan orders Kyoka to talk to Shumeisha about his pay and leaves her outside. Kyoka laments that Rohan will lose his beautiful house and leaves. Inside, Rohan reminisces what happened. He's realized that Yoma was not really Yoma anymore. Kyoka does some research about Rohan's story and stumbles upon a news article mentioning that a missing woman's body was found in Mutsu-kabe Hill Village, a village through which Yoma has been running.
