The Company (会 (かい) 社 (しゃ) , Kaisha^?) is an organization in The Summer Hikaru Died.

Description

Known Members

• Satou
• Tanaka

Objective

The Company's primary goal is searching for and obtaining Illegitimates, an end that workers are prepared to sacrifice a great deal for, including life or limb. Satou and Tanaka describe the Company's intentions in opposite ways: According to Satou, the Company's primary goal is to use the abilities of Illegitimates for the benefit of humanity.

Case AA-104 deals with the Illegitimate that appeared in Kubitachi. Because the Company does not have way of permanently containing Illegitimates, they intend to somehow convince it to come with them by choice rather than take it by force.

Resources and Abilities

Members of the Company use a variety of tools, aides, and techniques while dealing with entities from The Other Side. With additional resources, even individuals that have no spiritual abilities can work for The Company.

• Sunglasses: Tanaka is blind in both eyes due to a spiritual impairment inflicted by an impurity. The Company provided him a pair of sunglasses that "more or less" allow him to see.

• Barriers: A barrier that repels impurities and Illegitimates can be set up by exchanging an organ.

• Hamster: The hamster that Tanaka carries with him contains the soul of a human child, which allows it to sense impurities.

• Vocalization: Tanaka can use a special vocalization technique so that his voice can reach impurities.

• Shielding Cloth: A large tarp used to temporarily restrain an Illegitimate.

• Gold Silkworm: A type of poison that is highly desirable to some impurities.

• Hunting Dog: An impurity that seeks out Illegitimates.
