Chiharu |
Ng... Ngg... |
Chiharu |
Hah... |
Chiharu |
... Where am I!? |
Shizuka |
Charu, you woke up? |
Chiharu |
Shizuka-chan! Great, you are all safe! |
Shizuka |
Now that you said so, I guess they were real. |
Shizuka |
Both sinking to the bottom of the water and being purified by Charu... |
Pinch |
Chiharu |
Is it painful? |
Shizuka |
Pae~in... |
Chiharu |
Then, it is real, given that rule. |
Shizuka |
Seems so. |
Chiharu |
But, where am I...? |
Shizuka |
I don't know either. I am sure that we are alive though... |
Chiharu |
A girl's room? |
Shizuka |
Or maybe the Heaven that looks like one? |
Chiharu |
Ehhhh, no way! See it as we are alive. |
Sunao |
You are both alive. |
Shizuka |
Sunao. |
Chiharu |
It's Sunao-chan! |
Sunao |
And this is my home. |
Chiharu |
So, Sunao helped us. |
Sunao |
Right, I did... |
Chiharu |
Thank you. |
Shizuka |
I would like to express my gratitude too. Thank you, Sunao. |
Sunao |
Ye... |
Shizuka |
Anything wrong with you, Sunao... |
Sunao |
The same question to Shizuka and Charu. Like, being drifted away. |
Shizuka |
If you put it that way... |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
Sorry. I didn't. I wasn't trying to help you... |
Sunao |
Instead, I attempted to kill you... |
Shizuka |
Huh? What are you talking about...? |
Sunao |
Anyway, take it easy, okay? |
Sunao |
I have a lot to say and a lot to ask about. |
Sunao |
And I prepared breakfast too. |
Shizuka |
I don't feel like eating anything... |
Chiharu |
... Sunao-chan was going to...? |
Chiharu |
Sunao-chan... |
Chiharu |
The things you said just now, are they true...? |
Sunao |
Yes... |
Sunao |
It's true that I attempted to kill you both. |
Chiharu |
But why... I don't understand... |
Sunao |
I play a role that eliminates anyone who goes against the village's will... |
Sunao |
Therefore, I was attempting to kill you. Mainly... Charu... |
Chiharu |
Me... |
Sunao |
If Charu wavered over the contract or said she wanted to go back... |
Sunao |
Or tried to eliminate the Holy Wavering Deity... |
Sunao |
Went deep into the sanctuary of the shrine... |
Chiharu |
――!? |
Sunao |
Being drifted away in the river with Shizuka was out of my expectation. |
Sunao |
The conditions put forward by Mikoshiba-sama was satisfied for several times. |
Sunao |
But Charu narrowly escaped from those moments. |
Sunao |
Because of Shizuka's intervention... |
Shizuka |
In short, Sunao is Mikoshiba's puppet... |
Shizuka |
An assassin that executes those who disagree with her. |
Shizuka |
So Charu who went beyond her expectation, and I who wanted to guard her, were targeted. |
Sunao |
Yes... |
Shizuka |
I can't believe that you are her puppet... |
Sunao |
But, it is the truth... |
Sunao |
I didn't want to do it either. |
Sunao |
I treated you two as my friends, so I didn't want to hurt you. |
Sunao |
But the unexpected thing happened... |
Sunao |
Charu became sensitive to weird atmospheres, |
Sunao |
and Shizuka wanted to guard Charu, which raised Mikoshiba-sama's vigilance... |
Chiharu |
But you didn't kill us. |
Sunao |
............ |
Chiharu |
You didn't. Sunao-chan helped us. |
Shizuka |
Why is that...? |
Sunao |
I heard what Shizuka said besides the river, and that stopped me from doing so... |
Shizuka |
What did I say...? |
Sunao |
You said... "I will also become a dead body at the bottom of the water." |
All 9
Shizuka |
What did I say...? |
Sunao |
You said... "I will also become a dead body at the bottom of the water." |
Shizuka |
How did that very sentence stop you, Sunao...? |
Sunao |
... As you said, I am a puppet. |
Sunao |
What I know about myself is confined to my usefulness to the Land of the Rising Sun |
Sunao |
and my duty to deal with situations that threaten the village. |
Sunao |
I didn't know what would happen when I no longer fight as a diviner... |
Sunao |
Or not exactly, I didn't dare to think even if I was doubtful... |
Chiharu |
Doubtful...? |
Sunao |
Yes... |
Sunao |
I did know that a diviner will go out someday. |
Sunao |
But, even if I live outside the village... In the nearest village, |
Sunao |
I have never seen any other diviner... |
Shizuka |
At that point, my words... |
Sunao |
Yes, an awful scene suddenly flashed through my mind… |
Sunao |
Could all of those who went out... became the dead body at the bottom of the water... |
Shizuka |
That's the reason you helped us... |
Sunao |
Yes, to ask you about what happened... |
Shizuka |
Then, it's my turn to talk... About what I heard during the coming-of-age ceremony. |
Chiharu |
In other words, from the person that I witnessed... |
Shizuka |
Yeah, Mikoshiba said these shamelessly to me... |
Mikoshiba |
Let me tell thou the truth before thou departest. |
Shizuka |
The truth, right? |
Mikoshiba |
Exactly. The truth about ye diviners. |
Shizuka |
... Please tell me. |
Mikoshiba |
Diviners are existences that shatter devils, |
Shizuka |
Yes. |
Mikoshiba |
and the existences that will become devils in the future as well. |
Shizuka |
――!? |
Shizuka |
Eh, that means... |
Mikoshiba |
That literally means ye will become devils in the future. |
Shizuka |
No way, is it a joke...? |
Shizuka |
If that's true, why did you withhold such an important thing. |
Mikoshiba |
Such a harsh thing shouldn't be let out easily. |
Shizuka |
... Does my mother or anyone in the village know that? |
Shizuka |
And knowing so, you still turn us into diviners? |
Mikoshiba |
People who know are limited to us priestesses and dancers. |
Shizuka |
I don't understand... |
Shizuka |
If we who shatter devils are going to become devils, |
Shizuka |
isn't that a vicious circle? It's meaningless for us to become diviners. |
Mikoshiba |
That said, the wishes made in order to save the Land of the Rising Sun do come true. |
Shizuka |
――!? |
Shizuka |
Then, after that, we are...!? |
Mikoshiba |
Used up. |
Shizuka |
............ It's too cruel... |
Shizuka |
Didn't we just literally sacrificed our souls...! |
Mikoshiba |
Exactly. |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
Yeah... No... It's not time to cry...! |
Shizuka |
If I literally sacrificed my soul to the Land of the Rising Sun... |
Shizuka |
my honor can be maintained...! |
Shizuka |
Even if I become a devil, what I have achieved won't be wasted. |
Shizuka |
Proud of that, I can fight till I eventually fall...! |
Shizuka |
I see, the last ceremony was about acknowledging this truth and enduring till the end... |
Mikoshiba |
No. |
Shizuka |
――!? |
Shizuka |
Then why should you tell the truth! |
Mikoshiba |
Thou art becoming a devil before long. |
Mikoshiba |
The reason? Because it happeneth when thy jewel loseth its shine. |
Shizuka |
............ Wait... |
Shizuka |
What is the ceremony of coming of age about...? |
Mikoshiba |
Discarding the diviner that hath made the wish fulfilled and protected the village, and turning her into a devil. |
Mikoshiba |
No diviner ever goeth out of the village. |
Shizuka |
-!! |
Shizuka |
Mikoshibaーーーーーー!! |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Sorry..." |
Pluff! |
Shizuka |
Ah... |
Mikoshiba |
Be drown in the waterfall basin... Be stifled and agonized... And become the game of the next diviner... |
All 10
Sunao |
............ |
Shizuka |
These are all that I heard... |
Shizuka |
I have told you what you want to know, Sunao. |
Shizuka |
As you have worried, no one ever goes out or anything. |
Shizuka |
Everyone was trapped at the bottom of the water and never made it... |
Shizuka |
Now that you heard it... Are you gonna kill me? |
Sunao |
... I don't want to kill. |
Sunao |
Neither do I enjoy being a puppet from whom everything is concealed... |
Shizuka |
Then, please be with us. |
Sunao |
But my dad and mom may be killed by Mikoshiba! |
Shizuka |
What... You mean you were threatened that way...? |
Sunao |
Yep... |
Sunao |
So I had to choose who to kill... |
Sunao |
Shizuka and Charu... Or my dad and mom... |
Sunao |
I dwelled in Mikoshiba's home, tried searching it, attempting to find a vital point to hold over her... |
Sunao |
I tried to find things like documentation, passbooks, |
Sunao |
or anything that could be utilized to threaten her in turn... |
Sunao |
But I found nothing... |
Shizuka |
I know I won't be killed... I know Sunao is kind... |
Shizuka |
Actually, you are not going to kill, and I don't know what's behind it. |
Chiharu |
What I know is just the kind Sunao! |
Sunao |
Sorry, Shizuka... Charu... |
Chiharu |
And even when left unattended, a diviner will be killed anyway, right!? |
Chiharu |
If so, let's launch a preemptive strike! |
Sunao |
Charu? |
Chiharu |
The old woman doesn't know I and Shizuka are well, right? |
Chiharu |
If so, let's go back and scold her secretly! |
Chiharu |
Then pump her for all the secrets! |
Chiharu |
About diviners and devils, the reason to sink diviners, |
Chiharu |
and about Sunao-chan, everything! |
Chiharu |
It'll be great if everyone can be saved that way! |
Sunao |
... Quite straightforward. But what if we keep unfound... |
Shizuka |
Wait, I agree to punish her, |
Shizuka |
but this time, I think the picture may be a bit more complex. |
Chiharu |
In what way...? |
Shizuka |
Charu and I fought against some followers, right...? |
Chiharu |
Yeah, those without a labyrinth? |
Sunao |
Without a labyrinth...? |
Shizuka |
Yeah, I thought so when I fought before too, |
Shizuka |
but now I think the case might just be the opposite, which means it actually had a labyrinth. |
Chiharu |
It didn't have, but it had... |
Chiharu |
... Ah. |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
Because the so-called truth may be lying in the very unexpected vicinity. |
Chiharu |
In, the vicinity... |
Chiharu |
Shizuka-chan... You mean the village is a labyrinth...? |
Sunao |
How can that be...!! |
Shizuka |
It could, as Charu said. |
Shizuka |
At some point, a devil swallowed the whole Tokime's Village, |
Shizuka |
and under Mikoshiba's manipulation, it is eroding us diviners' power... |
Shizuka |
If so, the picture that we will be killed eventually, |
Shizuka |
the villainy of threatening Sunao and eliminating the undesirable, |
Shizuka |
the presence of followers without a labyrinth can all be explained. |
Sunao |
... Indeed they can be explained. |
Sunao |
However, if that's the case, everything should have been circulating inside... |
Sunao |
Luring people unfamiliar with the conventions like me and Charu in |
Sunao |
could only cause unexpected things like what's happening now. |
Shizuka |
That could be owed to the devil's stupidity |
Shizuka |
or impatience for something. |
Shizuka |
These are no more than some guesswork though... |
Chiharu |
However, this is probably the evidence that the village is a labyrinth. |
Shizuka |
What is that plate? |
Chiharu |
A smartphone. |
Shizuka |
The rumored telephone... |
Chiharu |
This is a map, but Tokime's Village is missing in the image. |
Sunao |
In that case, the village really already fell into the hand of a devil...? |
Chiharu |
Yeah, there must be an enemy to defeat! |
Shizuka |
Though I don't know about the smartphone, I believe so as long as you believe. |
Shizuka |
Let's hurry up...! |
Shizuka |
Sunao, okay? |
Sunao |
Sure...! |
Sunao |
You don't know what will happen if it detects your power and knows you are alive... |
Chiharu |
Before everyone is involved in, let's defeat the village's devil! |
Shizuka |
Right, let's hurry to the village. |
Sunao |
I should tell my dad and mom to escape soon too. |
All 11
Chiharu |
Shizuka-chan, Sunao-chan, the devil's reaction is getting stronger... |
Sunao |
Shizuka's reasoning may be correct... |
Sunao |
Is everyone fine... |
Chiharu |
My mother and the man in the village... |
Shizuka |
And my mother... |
Sunao |
Devils are existences that consume humans by nature. Since things have gone beyond expectation... |
Shizuka |
We should first confirm the village's situation... |
Sunao |
True... |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
No sign of human... |
Chiharu |
Yeah... |
Shizuka |
Everyone in the village is wiped out. |
Shizuka |
Even before things about the village is leaked to the outside...? |
Chiharu |
But considering the devil is still here, it might not be the case that it has already done so...! |
Sunao |
I agree. |
Sunao |
This place would have been useless if it had finished feeding itself. |
Sunao |
Let's stop thinking pessimistically. |
Chiharu |
Besides, can it be that it is waiting for us? |
Sunao |
... Thinking from the devil's perspective, |
Sunao |
since a diviners meal is more appealing for a devil, |
Sunao |
it might want to entomb us here and reset the situation... |
Chiharu |
Yeah, it already anticipated our return...! |
Shizuka |
The devil would be alright with some people involved absent... |
Shizuka |
If so, it's meaningful to keep the village and spare the villagers' lives... |
Chiharu |
However, you can't get the answer by just thinking... |
Shizuka |
Unfortunately, the only fact that we know is that |
Shizuka |
the devil is still alive, and the villagers' situation remains unknown... |
Sunao |
............ |
Shizuka |
What's wrong, Sunao? |
Sunao |
Nah, I just have some ill feelings. |
All 12
Sunao |
(I am probably just anxious because of the contingency...) |
Sunao |
(I thought too much...) |
Shizuka |
This is...! |
Sunao |
Shizuka felt it too!? |
Shizuka |
Yeah, I did... But from where... |
Shizuka |
What about you, Chiharu? |
Chiharu |
I have absolutely no idea... But it surely lies somewhere nearby! |
Sunao |
Nearby... |
Chiharu |
Nearby... |
Shizuka |
Nearby... |
Shizuka |
—!? |
Shizuka |
Charu!! |
Chiharu |
What? |
Shizuka |
Behind you! |
...!! |
Chiharu |
Aaaah!! |
Shizuka |
Charu—! |
Chiharu |
............ |
Shizuka |
Other followers also emerge from the shadow... |
Shizuka |
Sunao, that way Charu might later be—! |
Sunao |
............ |
Shizuka |
Sunao! |
Sunao |
............ |
Shizuka |
Sunao! |
- Sunao - |
I should have known this, but why... |
BAD END (5)
All 13
Sunao |
(It reminds me about that, Mikoshiba...) |
Mikoshiba |
But I heard from the daughter of the head family. |
Mikoshiba |
It seemeth that Hiroe's daughter gained a troublesome power... |
Sunao |
Yes... |
Mikoshiba |
Tokime's daughter... |
Mikoshiba |
I am really counting on thee, but thou couldst not help if thou still treatest this emotionally. |
Mikoshiba |
Thou art just a little girl after all. |
Sunao |
... But |
Sunao |
Then, how can I eliminate Hiroe Chiharu... |
Mikoshiba |
Even if thou just leavest her alone, the shadow will devour her. |
Sunao |
—!? |
Sunao |
Shizuka, Charu! Your shadows! |
Shizuka |
Charu, behind you!! |
...!! |
Chiharu |
Su Riaa! |
............ |
Chiharu |
It evaded my hit...!! |
Sunao |
Hit it soon! |
...!? |
Chiharu |
Sorry, Sunao-chan, but I can't believe that they just evaded... |
Sunao |
I didn't recall it until just now either. |
Shizuka |
But you realized that they came from the shadows anyway. |
Sunao |
Mikoshiba's word came to my mind. |
Sunao |
She said the shadow would devour Charu... |
Chiharu |
Exactly, they are the same kind of followers that Shizuka fought...! |
Shizuka |
It was at night, so it shouldn't be related to shadows... |
Shizuka |
However, Mikoshiba knew that, which means... |
Sunao |
Everything, including the center of the clan, is apparently under manipulation... |
Chiharu |
More importantly, we have to anyhow make it before the nightfall, right? |
Shizuka |
Yeah, but we don't even know the location of the devil at this point... |
Shizuka |
So, let's go to check if everyone is safe. |
Shizuka |
Maybe we can feel the power of the devil during our action. |
Chiharu |
Hmm, that's it! |
Sunao |
Then, I am going to Mikoshiba's home... |
Chiharu |
Won't that be dangerous...? |
Sunao |
There is possibly some information I can collect. |
Sunao |
As the center of the village, her home may be where the devil hides too. |
Shizuka |
... Please don't force yourself. |
Sunao |
Okay. |
Shizuka |
Then, Charu, |
Shizuka |
this may be dangerous, but let's go separately. |
Shizuka |
Time before the sunset is precious. |
Chiharu |
I agree! |
Shizuka |
Then, let me teach you how to use telepathy. |
Shizuka |
That's the technique that we diviners can use to transmit what we think. |
Chiharu |
Ah. |
Chiharu |
(That's the same thing to the voice I heard under the waterfall. |
Next: Chiharu 11 / Shizuka 3 / Sunao 4
Chiharu 11
Chiharu |
(Did everyone escape...) |
Chiharu |
(or are they killed by the devil...?) |
Chiharu |
(If so, my mom would be in big trouble too!) |
Chiharu |
Nah—! No way no way no way! |
Chiharu |
(Because it somehow feels weird...) |
Chiharu |
(If a devil is an existence that hurts people, and if it manipulates the village,) |
Chiharu |
(then the narrative of "wishing for the Land of the Rising Sun" sounds weird.) |
Chiharu |
(Yeah, it feels contradictory.) |
Chiharu |
(Plus, if it wants to consume diviners, why not do so straightforward?) |
Chiharu |
(Instead, it formulates the trivial rules like the coming-of-age ceremony...) |
Chiharu |
(And made a phone call to my home...) |
Chiharu |
Hmn——...Hmnnn? |
Chiharu |
The phone call was made by the old woman... |
Chiharu |
Ah, that's enough! They messed up my mind. |
Chiharu |
How would Todoriki Kouichi think in this situation... |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
You need to accept weird truths. |
Chiharu |
That's the triumphal line after the case is closed. How is that supposed to help the current situation... |
Chiharu |
(However, with weirdness intermingled...) |
Chiharu |
(Designating the scope, that's what matters...!) |
Chiharu |
............ |
Chiharu |
Huh... Is it even meaningful to keep searching this way? |
Chiharu |
I already searched everywhere that I know. It must have escaped. Yeah. |
Chiharu |
(This... is not a follower of the devil...) |
Chiharu |
(The smell of the strange case from the shrine's direction...?) |
Chiharu |
(It seems stronger...) |
Chiharu |
............ |
Chiharu |
Ah, I can't, I can't do that! |
Chiharu |
It's not time to be distracted by other things. |
Chiharu |
Hm! |
Chiharu |
... The next would be the devil's followers!? |
............!! |
Chiharu |
Bring them on! |
Chiharu |
I am going to impose punishment on y'all! |
Chiharu 12
............ |
Chiharu |
A chink in the armor! |
...!! |
Chiharu's voice |
Execution! |
............!?!? |
Chiharu |
Good, good, it feels great. |
Plump |
Chiharu |
Hmn? |
Dancer |
............ |
Chiharu |
Uwawa... Are, are you okay...!? |
Chiharu |
Well, this person, yeah, is the person who danced! |
Dancer |
............ |
Chiharu |
(Did she just fall off as the devil's follower was defeated...?) |
Chiharu |
(Not that, but Shizuka-chan's mother said that a devil manipulates people...) |
Chiharu |
Or something... |
Chiharu |
(A person being manipulated...) |
Chiharu |
Correct, there is a devil's imprint on her. |
Dancer |
............ |
Chiharu |
Sorry, but I have to go... |
Dancer |
............ |
Chiharu |
Hmn—? No, there isn't, seemingly...? |
Chiharu |
(Is she actually someone escaping?) |
Chiharu |
(I thought there should be nobody by then, yet there are people who escaped slower...) |
Chiharu |
(Again...!?) |
Gasagasa... |
Chiharu |
............ |
Pa... |
Chiharu |
Go to hell! |
Shizuka's mother |
Come here, Ms. Hiroe! An open field is a better place for fighting! |
Chiharu's mother |
The place is better for fighting, but Ms. Tokime, this sword isn't, right! |
Shizuka's mother |
We have no choice but to do it ourselves anyway! |
Chiharu |
Mom and Shizuka's mom! |
Chiharu's mother |
Chiharu!? |
Shizuka's mother |
Chiharu-chan!? |
...!! |
Shizuka's mother |
Before that... |
Shizuka's mother |
Tokime Isshin Style... Meter-Leap Decapitation!! |
Chiharu |
Meter-Leap Decapitation—!? |
............ |
Shizuka's mother |
Ah, the sword... |
............!!! |
Chiharu |
Aah, it's okay! I'll defeat it!! |
Chiharu |
After that, we should contact Shizuka's mother and Sunao-chan!! |
Chiharu 13
...!? |
Chiharu |
Is mom okay!? What about Shizuka's mother? |
Chiharu's mother |
Yeah, I am fine. Thanks, Chiharu... |
Shizuka's mother |
You are such a diviner... There's an untraversable gap between us. |
Chiharu |
No, you did an awesome job just now! |
Shizuka's mother |
Ha, thanks. |
Chiharu |
Haven't you both escaped? |
Chiharu |
I searched over and over but found no one. |
Chiharu's mother |
Of course, we evacuated with others... |
Chiharu's mother |
However, monsters emerges from shadows on our way, |
Chiharu's mother |
and then we were left behind. |
Shizuka's mother |
Why did they target us, I don't understand at all... |
Chiharu's mother |
Anyway, Chiharu |
Chiharu |
Hmn? |
Chiharu's mother |
I am not requiring your "hmn"! Where did you go!! |
Chiharu |
Whew! |
Chiharu's mother |
You just suddenly disappeared, and never came back. |
Chiharu's mother |
Even monsters like that emerged, do you know how concerned I was...! |
Chiharu |
Ah... I'm sorry... |
Chiharu |
I was worried about the coming-of-age ceremony, so I went to see. |
Chiharu |
Then I fell into the waterfall basin with Shizuka... |
Chiharu's mother |
Into the waterfall basin...!? |
Chiharu's mother |
Who did so...!? Is your body alright...!? |
Chiharu |
As for the body, it's as healthy as you see, and I can even fight with it quite well... |
Shizuka's mother |
Well, you said you fell into the waterfall basin during the ceremony...? |
Chiharu |
... Yeah |
Chiharu |
It's like, the coming-of-age ceremony is akin to a ceremony that kills diviners... |
Chiharu |
During which we are turned into devils... |
Shizuka's mother |
It's a bit beyond my comprehension. Is Shizuka alright? |
Shizuka's mother |
She said she would contact me... |
Chiharu |
Yeah, we came together. |
Shizuka's mother |
... Just leave the details untill we evacuate to home. |
Chiharu |
Then we should also take the dancer I met just now. |
Shizuka's mother |
Dancer? |
Chiharu |
Yeah, a dancer that fell off just now... |
Shizuka's mother |
But there is nobody...? |
Chiharu |
What...? |
Chiharu |
That's true... |
Chiharu's mother |
Was there actually anyone...? |
Chiharu |
Sure! |
Shizuka's mother |
Disappeared all in a sudden... |
Shizuka's mother |
Though it's incredible, there is yet another incredible thing... |
Chiharu |
............ |
...!! |
Chiharu |
Why they always follow and target us? |
Shizuka's mother |
That's what I am talking about. |
Shizuka |
But, from now on, we have to spare no effort. |
Sunao |
Okay, let's go inside. |
Shizuka's mother |
Shizuka... |
Shizuka |
I'm back, mom. I'll talk about the situation later. |
Shizuka's mother |
We are talking precisely about that. |
Shizuka 3
Shizuka |
A devil is lurking in my hometown. |
Shizuka |
(I am trying to explain it myself, yet I find it growingly confusing...) |
Shizuka |
(The customs that we have observed so far, as wells as the wishes made for the Land of the Rising Sun,) |
Shizuka |
(I don't know if they are still trustworthy, just because of the devil's lurking in ...) |
Shizuka |
(Even our becoming devils, was because it wants to kill us in a nefarious manner...?) |
Shizuka |
(It was kept secret from us because of that...?) |
Shizuka |
(Nah, that thing itself might be made-up...) |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
(The hometown) |
Shizuka |
(The hometown that I have always love, now seems completely fake...) |
Shizuka |
(I was fettered by the diviner-consuming rule in the fake world...) |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
(No, I can't... I can't think negatively...) |
Shizuka |
(Even if I was born in a fake world...) |
Shizuka |
The existence of my mom is real... |
Shizuka |
So other people... can't be fake either! |
Shizuka |
—!? |
Shizuka |
That house... is illuminated...! |
Shizuka 4
Shizuka |
Anyone there!? |
Ooh! Hooray, everyone! |
Our diviner is back! |
"Uwa—!!" |
Welcome back, Shizuka-chan! |
Thanks, you are back...! |
I wondered if you won't come back after the ceremony. |
Shizuka |
Well... |
Shizuka |
I was worried if any contingency would happen, so I came back with Charu and Sunao. |
All three of you. |
Then we will soon be saved. |
Shizuka |
But why are you all gathering here? |
Mikoshiba-sama suddenly came, |
saying that monsters were emerging, and ordered us to hide before things would cool down. |
Shizuka |
(Noticing that we were back and then ordered the villagers to evacuate...?) |
Shizuka |
(As expected, she was trying to wipe us out and revert to the original condition...) |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka-chan, what's up...? |
Shizuka |
(However, everyone is possibly forged... just like the followers...) |
Shizuka |
... Is everyone real...? |
Real...? |
Shizuka |
... So—sorry...! |
Shizuka |
It's the first time that the village becomes like this, so I became anxious. |
It's fine, because Shizuka has always been protecting us. |
That's it. We also know that you became restless after getting injured. |
I believe in you all, so please rest assures. |
Shizuka |
(They are probably real... I'm justified to think so...) |
Shizuka |
It will be fine, thanks, madam. |
`
Shizuka 5
Shizuka |
Okay! After getting rid of the anxiety, I am fine now! |
Shizuka |
I am gonna defeat the devil! |
Sorry for counting fully on you at this point, but please do your best! |
Shizuka |
Course I will. |
Shizuka |
We diviners are born for this moment! |
Shizuka |
By the way, have all the villagers gathered here? |
Shizuka |
Since this is an emergency, has anyone evacuated to the Great Sanctuary? |
No, everyone should have been here. |
Shizuka |
... Then even if any contingency happens, it should be fine with my mother here... |
Indeed, with the head family here, we feel much more relieved. |
Shizuka |
Can anyone call my mother? |
Nah, wait... I haven't seen the head family's people. |
Shizuka |
Eh... Nobody saw them...!? |
I haven't... |
Shizuka |
It can't be true... |
Shizuka |
And also, yeah... Where's Chiharu's mother!? |
The one who works as a nurse? |
Shizuka |
Yeah, she gave treatment to me! |
Sorry, I didn't... |
Shizuka |
But, what about when she is evacuating!? |
We should have been together till then. |
Yeah, we witnessed that too. |
But I don't think I ever saw her since evacuated to this house... |
Shizuka |
... I'll search! |
Shizuka |
How can that be, only my mother and Chiharu's mother aren't evacuating... |
Shizuka |
The only explanation I can come up with is they got targeted... |
Shizuka |
(But, why...?) |
Sunao |
... Thinking from the devil's perspective, |
Sunao |
since a diviners meal is more appealing for a devil, |
Sunao |
it might want to entomb us here and reset the situation... |
Shizuka |
Killing all relatives involved...? |
Shizuka |
—!? |
Shizuka |
Telepathy... From Sunao...? |
Sunao branch unlocked
Next: All 15
Sunao 4
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
(Making the situation so complicated, it's probably all my bad...) |
Sunao |
(Because I became a diviner without Mikoshiba's permission...) |
Sunao |
(And I was punished by bearing the role of a murderer...) |
Mikoshiba |
What, she already became a diviner!? |
Sunao's father |
But Sunao did nothing wrong! |
Sunao's father |
It's our negligence that we didn't tell her about the diviner...! |
Mikoshiba |
It's a grave crime... |
Mikoshiba |
Have ye forgotten that ye are born in the branch family of Tokime Clan! |
Sunao's father |
We are fully aware of that...! |
Mikoshiba |
If so, things shouldn't have become like this. |
Mikoshiba |
Though ye are too naive, with a daughter entering the age of menarche, |
Mikoshiba |
for what reason ye dare not telling her about that... |
Sunao's mother |
............ |
Sunao's mother |
We wanted to make her interested in that, about diviners... |
Mikoshiba |
Ye fool! |
Sunao |
No! |
Sunao |
Papa and mama did nothing wrong either! |
Sunao |
It's me, it's me who willfully made a wish and became a magical girl. |
Mikoshiba |
Were they called like that in the modern world? |
Mikoshiba |
Then, what did thou wish for? |
Sunao |
... For my papa and mama. |
Mikoshiba |
Trivial... Wasteful... |
Sunao |
How is that trivial...!? |
Sunao |
Is it so bad to make a wish for important people!? |
Mikoshiba |
Thou under the bloodline of Tokime, let me tell thou what's after that wish. |
Mikoshiba |
... Come and listen |
Sunao |
Wha-what... |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Thou wouldst have to redeem thy parents' crime with thy own behavior." |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Even if thou hast become a diviner wastefully There are mountains of things thou canst do in the village." |
- Mikoshiba - |
"If anyone going against my intension appeareth, Thou shalt kill that person. " |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Thou cannot refuse to do so." |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Kill others to redeem your crime or thy parents die to redeem your crime thou shalt choose one between the two." |
Sunao |
(Still, quite scary...) |
Sunao |
(But if I dealt with the devil faster, maybe I can help my parents too...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
Ensure Mikoshiba there if she is alive, and question her after the devil is defeated... |
Sunao |
When returned to sanity, ask her about what she thought before that... |
............!! |
Sunao |
I'm coming in! I got things to do! |
Sunao 5
Creak... |
Sunao |
Mikoshiba-sama... |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
She really evacuated with other villagers...? |
Sunao |
(Or, maybe, became a puppet of the devil...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
Not here... |
Sunao |
(Take this chance to search the shelves that I couldn't when Mikoshiba is here...) |
Sunao |
(... A gap in the wardrobe.) |
Sunao |
—!? |
Sunao |
(Something is leaking out faint light...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
... This is an old computer... |
Sunao |
(This absolutely shouldn't be found in this village...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
It is usable... |
Sunao |
Password... |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
Oh gosh! |
............ |
Sunao |
There are many followers in this room... and outside too... |
Sunao |
which shouldn't be surprising since this is Mikoshiba's home... |
Sunao |
It's like the followers don't come out until they gather in groups... |
Sunao |
(Anyway, I'm contacting Shizuka for help when fighting...) |
Sunao |
And I must defend the computer to the last. |
Sunao 6
Sunao |
Disappear from here! |
............!?!? |
Sunao |
Hah... Hah... |
Sunao |
Though I messed pretty much everything up... |
Sunao |
The computer... seems... intact... |
Sunao |
Huh... |
Sunao |
(Password...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
(1234...) |
Sunao |
(Of course it isn't...) |
Sunao |
(But I guess at such an age, what she can remember is limited...) |
Sunao |
(The common sense when people used computers this old should be pretty outdated too...) |
Sunao |
(Somehow I don't think it should be that complex...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
(Information that I have collected for revenging someday...) |
Sunao |
(Seemingly complex things that I have remembered somewhere, like words... numbers...) |
Sunao |
(The number of the safe box...) |
Sunao |
—!? |
Sunao |
It logs me in...! |
Sunao |
(There aren't many files...) |
Click, click click... |
Sunao |
(It's connected to the internet...) |
Sunao |
(Mail...) |
Click... |
Sunao |
(Nothing... Neither any in the recycle bin...) |
Sunao |
............ |
Click |
Sunao |
(But there isn't much free space left...) |
Sunao |
(Commonly accessed folders) |
Click |
Sunao |
Ah... |
Sunao |
(A lot of audio files...) |
Click |
Sunao |
............ It's muted? |
Sunao |
Ah, earphones... |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
This is... |
Shizuka |
I'm sorry, Sunao! There are many followers on my way too! |
Sunao |
It's okay. Take it easy. I already defeated them here... |
Shizuka |
... But, you don't sound well? |
Sunao |
Because I underwent a struggle. |
Shizuka |
You got hurt...? |
Sunao |
I'm fine. |
Sunao |
(Is it something that I can say out easily...?) |
Sunao |
............ |
Shizuka |
Can you help me with my searching later...? |
Sunao |
Searching? |
Shizuka |
Yeah. |
Shizuka |
My mom and Charu's mom went missing... |
Sunao |
How coincidental that they are you two's... |
Sunao |
That aside, do you have any idea about where to search...? |
Shizuka |
That's exactly what I want to know... |
Shizuka |
—!? |
Shizuka |
Wait, I got telepathy from Charu... |
Sunao |
(May as well... carry it to the grave ...) |
All 14
Chiharu's mother |
............ Hah |
Shizuka's mother |
Ms. Hiroe... |
Chiharu's mother |
The existence of both diviners and Tokime Clan... I haven't settled for them till just now. |
Shizuka's mother |
... I understand your feeling. |
Shizuka's mother |
It's hard for me to imagine that the whole village lies inside a labyrinth... |
Chiharu |
I'm sorry for the abrupt comment... |
Chiharu's mother |
You don't have to, Chiharu. We are just a bit surprised. |
Chiharu's mother |
As your mother, I already prepared for the worst the time when you became a diviner. |
Chiharu's mother |
It's okay for me to challenge my common sense to accept them. |
Shizuka's mother |
Plus, it is harsher for you diviners... |
Shizuka |
However, we still have no idea about how real they are... |
Shizuka |
Though I know it clear that I was almost killed my Mikoshiba, |
Shizuka |
that Sunao was threatened by Mikoshiba to become an assassin, |
Shizuka |
and, that followers suddenly emerge from nowhere in the village... |
Sunao |
What about that we may... someday become devils... |
Shizuka |
Just read it as that Mikoshiba was fooling us and attempting to kill us in a nefarious manner... |
Shizuka |
It makes sense to think so, so I don't think it is the fact. |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka's mother |
What's wrong, Shizuka...? |
Shizuka |
... Just now, I became worried after some consideration. |
Shizuka |
If, I mean if the village really is a labyrinth of the devil, |
Shizuka |
The sceneries and people that I have seen might be no more than phantoms... |
Chiharu |
I and my mother came from outside, I can guarantee we are real! |
Chiharu |
And Shizuka-chan's mother was also attacked by followers, |
Chiharu |
so she can't be fake either! |
Shizuka |
Charu... |
Shizuka's mother |
Then from whose womb were you born? |
Shizuka |
That's... |
Sunao |
Don't think too much about the weird stuff, just focus on the here and now. |
Shizuka |
Yeah, sorry. |
Chiharu |
Anyway, there is a devil, make no mistake. |
Chiharu |
Let's punish it hard and find out the old woman! |
Chiharu |
Or we may lose the chance to question her. |
Shizuka |
If manipulated by the devil, she might lose her memories. |
Sunao |
Ah, that's... |
Shizuka's mother |
... You all should go now. |
Chiharu |
It's evening already...! |
Chiharu |
If we don't defeat it before the sunset, it will turn out the way that night did! |
Shizuka |
Right, when darkness falls, it enables the devil to do whatever it wants... |
Chiharu |
But, is it okay to leave behind our mothers?!? |
Shizuka's mother |
If it just comes the devil's followers, I am fully capable of dealing with them. |
Chiharu |
Even when the sword is broken!? |
Shizuka's mother |
So I want you to do me a favor before leaving |
Chiharu |
What...? |
Bang!! |
Chiharu |
—!? |
Chiharu |
A lot of swords... In the wardrobe... |
Shizuka's mother |
Can you infuse the power of diviners into these swords? |
Shizuka |
I see. |
Chiharu |
What does it mean? |
Shizuka |
The power of diviners can be infused to different items. |
Shizuka |
If you infuse the power to weapons like these, |
Shizuka |
they become weapons that can be used to fight against the devil. |
Chiharu |
Ama—zing! |
Shizuka's mother |
So please come and infuse your power before leaving |
Shizuka's mother |
We have techniques, but not your power. |
Chiharu |
I see! We'll put it all in! |
Shizuka |
Sunao, you can come and help too! |
Sunao |
O—okay! |
Shizuka |
The only question left is where is the devil... |
Sunao |
Well, there is one sword left though. |
Shizuka's mother |
It's the treasure, so I guess we should leave it there? |
Shizuka |
It was infused the power of generations of Tokime's diviners. |
Sunao |
I see. It's an important thing. |
Shizuka's mother |
But the further story of the sword |
Shizuka's mother |
shall be told to Shizuka when she comes back. |
Shizuka |
What is that feeling of being "halfway" there... |
Shizuka's mother |
Be cautious. |
Shizuka |
... Okay, I understand. |
All 15
Shizuka |
So, got any idea after you both patrolled around the village...? |
Chiharu |
Nothing at all here... |
Chiharu |
Still, I feel the shrine smells wrong. |
Sunao |
I went to Mikoshiba's home and find nothing in particular either... |
Shizuka |
The same to me, actually. |
Shizuka |
I checked if it was safe and patrolled there, but found nothing worth mentioning... |
Shizuka |
Do all of us really feel nothing...? |
Sunao |
I did feel the atmosphere of the devil. |
Sunao |
But, how can I put it properly... I think it's flat or even... |
Sunao |
It has some weeny changes, but the intensity of the reaction remains the same... |
Chiharu |
I guess feel the same. |
Chiharu |
Just feel "it doesn't quite change" and meanwhile search for everybody. |
Chiharu |
What about Shizuka-chan? |
Shizuka |
Unfortunately, the same... |
Shizuka |
Even an idea about whether it is approaching or leaving would be good... |
Chiharu |
Yet the distance remains the same even when we are moving... |
Sunao |
It doesn't make sense with three of us all feel so... |
Chiharu |
Hmn, right... |
Sunao |
It has some weeny changes because it is hiding somewhere... |
Chiharu |
Hiding... Hiding... Hmm, it somehow feels right. |
Sunao |
............? |
Chiharu |
It is time to ask Todoriki Kouichi |
Shizuka |
Who? |
Sunao |
Ah, a character in a drama? |
Chiharu |
Sunao-chan knows him!? |
Sunao |
Just the name and nothing else. |
Chiharu |
I see... |
Shizuka |
So, what can that Mr. Todoriki do? |
Chiharu |
Become Mr. Todoriki who solves cases in my mind and then ask him. |
Chiharu |
Hmnーーー |
Chiharu |
Mr. Todoriki, the reaction remains the same however I move, |
Chiharu |
what should I do at this point!? |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
The culprit is lurking around you That's for sure You can try removing the map in your mind |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
The world perceived as a flat plain actually comprises three-dimensional structures like mountains and the sky You should know that |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
Try considering based on that |
- Todoriki (Chiharu) - |
In this world the so-called truth may be lying in the very unexpected vicinity |
Chiharu |
Huh... That's what Todoriki told me. |
Shizuka |
You said "told"... But it's all your self-performance... |
Chiharu |
I feel impersonating make my mind smarter. |
Sunao |
But I do believe that there are some perspectives that we have so far missed out... |
Sunao |
Considering the differences between two- and three-dimension... |
Shizuka |
Got any idea...? |
Sunao |
Yeah... |
Sunao |
To be frank, I think it's underground. |
Shizuka |
Underground...? |
Sunao |
If you think about it from a two-dimensional perspective, |
Sunao |
your distance to the devil should have been approaching zero meters sooner or later, |
Sunao |
yet, if it is somewhere 200 meters below the ground, |
Sunao |
The difference of the reaction as you move, if any, won't feel quite significant. |
Chiharu |
With nothing in the sky, so it must be underground. |
Shizuka |
But, under the ground of the village... |
Shizuka |
——!? |
Sunao |
Do you know that...? |
Shizuka |
Yeah... Just one...! |
Shizuka |
By the way, have all the villagers gathered here? |
Shizuka |
Since this is an emergency, has anyone evacuated to the Great Sanctuary? |
No, everyone should have been here. |
Shizuka |
The Great Sanctuary... |
Chiharu |
Where is that? |
Shizuka |
Deep inside the Holy Music Stage that Charu entered, that's where the ancient sanctuary locates... |
Chiharu |
The place that smells awful...! |
Shizuka |
Charu probably felt something at the very beginning... |
Shizuka |
The so-called truth may be lying in the very unexpected vicinity |
Chiharu |
Exactly! |
Sunao |
Then, let's go. |
Shizuka |
Okay, we are running out of time. Hurry to the Great Sanctuary. |
All 16
Chiharu |
It smells stronger just as expected... |
Shizuka |
Is the smell Charu talked about exactly a case-related feeling? |
Shizuka |
For example, feeling the power from a devil, is it relevant? |
Chiharu |
Well... Not something that should be called power. |
Chiharu |
It's a feeling that awful things are going to happen, and the unpleasant feeling nauseates my chest. |
Shizuka |
You have always felt it from here, right... |
Sunao |
We can't know what it really is until we go inside... |
Chiharu |
Yeah... |
Chiharu |
By the way, what is the Great Sanctuary Shizuka talked about...? |
Shizuka |
The Great Sanctuary is a place to worship the god, |
Shizuka |
like Cubey who realizes wishes |
Shizuka |
and diviners that have fought for the Land of the Rising Sun. |
Sunao |
Have you Shizuka entered it? |
Shizuka |
Nope... |
Shizuka |
People who became dancers have been summoned in, |
Shizuka |
but I don't think most people have been there. |
Shizuka |
Though it was designated as an emergency shelter, the emergency has never happened until today... |
Sunao |
I see... |
Shizuka |
We've arrived. Go into the sanctuary and we should be able to go downstairs. |
Chiharu |
... |
Shizuka |
Charu? |
Chiharu |
Ue... It sucks... |
Sunao |
Wait, are you okay!? |
Chiharu |
Sorry... But I think I will be able to get used to it a bit later... |
Chiharu |
I don't understand... What is this... ...It's malice, probably. |
Sunao |
Malice? |
Chiharu |
You feel disgusted when seeing a person who does bad things, right? |
Chiharu |
I guess, it feels just like that... |
Shizuka |
If there's no reaction from the devil, can that be someone to arrest... |
Sunao |
Not only the devil, but also Mikoshiba might be there... |
Chiharu |
... I am well now. I've calmed down |
Sunao |
Then, let's start descending...? |
Chiharu |
Okay... |
Shizuka |
The reaction can be felt right in front of the staircases. |
Chiharu |
We did it. This is the right place... |
Katsu, katsum katsu |
Pata, pata, pata |
Don, don, don |
Sunao |
How far should we go down... |
Shizuka |
I don't know... It's the first time for me to go in too... |
Sunao |
There are a lot of things that Tokime Clan's head family don't know either... |
Shizuka |
Rather, nobody but Mikoshiba know them all... |
Chiharu |
Maybe because the old woman is manipulated. |
Chiharu |
It will be a formidable enemy. |
Sunao |
True, we must be prepared... |
Shizuka |
If we die, everything will be buried into darkness... |
Shizuka |
It's our duty to go back alive and expose everything under the sun. |
Chiharu |
... I can see the light. |
Sunao |
Huh... |
Chiharu |
... Formidable malice and |
Shizuka |
... formidable... power of the devil... |
Chiharu |
............ What is this place... |
Shizuka |
Such a magnificent place... built without anyone knowing... |
Shizuka |
Mikoshiba... |
Mikoshiba |
Little girls... Ye actually know it's here... |
Shizuka |
Charu has long felt the smell. |
Mikoshiba |
Troublesome, it's troublesome. |
Mikoshiba |
I should have killed thou earlier. |
Shizuka |
Don't ever talk about killing at ease. |
Shizuka |
Tell us, everything so far, no one less! |
Mikoshiba |
Even if thou never askest, I shall tell thou at thy last breath. |
Mikoshiba |
Well, why not come and play with the devil to decorate the conversation? |
Sunao |
The devil! |
Sunao |
Shizuka, Charu! Behind Mikoshiba! |
衆倒令專 方界諸聞 若持後佛 |
Mikoshiba |
Oh, the devil, bury them for me... |
Mikoshiba |
And then it will be their parents' turn. |
All 17
Chiharu |
The old woman is manipulating the devil...!? |
Sunao |
It looks so, and it turns out to be a trick of manipulating devils... |
Shizuka |
Our enemy is Tokime's priestess. |
Shizuka |
This isn't too weird considering that even diviners can exist. |
Chiharu |
But... It's possible that she is actually being manipulated. |
Mikoshiba |
Go, crush them! |
出佛爲應!! |
Shizuka |
Ough...! This is really the devil overwhelming the whole village... |
Shizuka |
However! |
衆大因非!?!? |
Shizuka |
I hit it... |
得是喜德 |
Shizuka |
Not a critical hit... |
Mikoshiba |
Ho ho! |
Mikoshiba |
Ye little girls are generations behind |
Mikoshiba |
the devils trained for so many years. Go and melt them altogether... |
沮名量趣 當南紫一! |
Sunao |
What is that water...! |
Shizuka |
Sunao, step back! |
者肩金等 其興方利 出一故藐 |
Chiharu |
It's still spraying like crazy! |
Chiharu |
If we can ascend...! |
Shizuka |
Alongside the wall... |
Sunao |
Kick the walls and hit the devil outright... |
Shizuka |
If so, we will touch its water at the moment we fall. |
Mikoshiba |
The crying voices of the little girls are pleasing and really good. |
歡光吼生 |
Shizuka |
Ku! |
喜汝諸勒 |
Shizuka |
Here, I can stop it with my power... |
Shizuka |
Stop there!! |
Sunao |
The water flow stop...! |
Shizuka |
Sunao! Escape to its top now! |
Sunao |
But Shizuka, you can't move, can you! |
Shizuka |
Escape to its top when it stops! |
Chiharu's voice |
Shizuka-chan! Sunao-chan! |
Shizuka |
Na, the body is wrapped by ropes... |
Sunao |
A jitte at its end... |
Chiharu |
I'm pullingーーーー!! |
Chiharu |
Liaーーーーーー!! |
Shizuka |
Uwa! |
Sunao |
Kya! |
Chiharu |
Success! |
Shizuka |
Thanks, we are saved. |
Sunao |
There is such a way of making a difference. |
Chiharu |
Eh hey hey. |
Mikoshiba |
Petty tricks... |
Chiharu |
The stage where we fight is here! |
Chiharu |
If we occupy the top of the sanctuary, the pouring water won't be threatening! |
Sunao |
Right. Let's attack it here! |
Shizuka |
We just narrowly escaped from death. |
Mikoshiba |
It's useless to escape around. |
Mikoshiba |
Oh, devil, |
Mikoshiba |
collapsing the sanctuary isn't a matter. Be sure to exterminate them all. |

Chiharu |
Suffer yourself to be bound! |
佛當舌斯!? |
Shizuka |
I bound it successfully... |
Shizuka |
Thanks, Charu! |
Shizuka |
Septuple Swords, finish the devil up! |
願合者愍!?!? |
Shizuka's voice |
Finally, it's your turn, Sunao! |
Sunao |
If you want to melt us, we will in turn purge you! |
Sunao |
With this light! |
得十佛下!?!? |
Mikoshiba |
Ough... Nu... |
Mikoshiba |
What, can't thou move! Art thou a devil like that and no more! |
Mikoshiba |
Let me see thy potential power!! |
............!! |
Chiharu |
Getting so angry will blow up your head's blood vessels...... |
Mikoshiba |
Dammit... Hiroe's fxxking daughter... |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
Old woman... Wake up. |
Shizuka |
You probably didn't manipulate the devil. Instead, you were actually manipulated. |
Shizuka |
If so, you are just killing meaninglessly... |
Mikoshiba |
Stop talking nonsense, Tokime's daughter. |
Mikoshiba |
Can I ever be manipulated? |
Mikoshiba |
All I have done is to follow the Shaman Deity's rules. |
Mikoshiba |
Everything is real, |
Mikoshiba |
my manipulating the devil, and the fact that ye will become devils, |
Mikoshiba |
and in addition, |
Mikoshiba |
that those who go out shall be abandoned; that those come from outside shall be killed... |
Mikoshiba |
For they are necessary for the village... Nothing more and nothing less. |
Mikoshiba |
For the sake of the shadow of the Land of the Rising Sun, all these are necessary. |
Shizuka |
If so, that thing is too...? |
Shizuka |
Is it also the village's convention that we became useless after having our wishes granted |
Shizuka |
and will be killed after being used up? |
Mikoshiba |
Precisely. |
Mikoshiba |
For that reason, ye should be buried |
Mikoshiba |
so as to make sure that the existence of Tokime is never exposed under broad daylight! |
生是目謗 授弗達長 往法當輩! |
Chiharu |
Whatever you say to the old woman, it's useless now... |
Shizuka |
Yeah... But I still hold the hope |
Shizuka |
that she will return to normal after the devil is eliminated... |
Shizuka |
Though Mikoshiba is an annoying old woman, there were times when she was kind... |
Sunao |
Halt, Shizuka... |
Sunao |
Don't hold that kind of hope on Mikoshiba. |
Shizuka |
... It's really just a faint hope. |
Mikoshiba |
Oh, devil. This is thy last chance. Don't fail it this time... |
忍行實相 稱光三汝 生受門須 |
Shizuka |
Sunao, Charu, let's give it the coup de grâce. |
All 19
佛色佛諸 應故至貧 以諸靡乃 彼地如國 意聞淨佛 如甚修覆 |
Chiharu |
We—we defeated it... Victory... |
Sunao |
Though we consumed much energy... |
Sunao |
It dropped its ghost, so I think it's fine... |
Shizuka |
What about Mikoshiba... |
Mikoshiba |
Ough... Nu...u... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Shizuka |
No way... |
Chiharu |
Is the old woman fine...? |
Shizuka |
It would be a big trouble if she dies here. |
Sunao |
Yes, leaving mountains of questions that we want to ask unanswered... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Shizuka |
... Apparently she has just fainted. |
Shizuka |
Mom! |
Chiharu |
Mother! |
Chiharu's mother |
——!? |
Chiharu's mother |
Chiharu! Shizuka-chan!
Sunao-chan! |
Shizuka's mother |
The devil was defeated, right? |
Shizuka's mother |
I suppose so because the followers suddenly vanished. |
Chiharu |
It was pretty tough, but we three endeavored and defeated it! |
Sunao |
It was nice teamwork. |
Shizuka |
Yeah. What about mothers...? |
Shizuka's mother |
As you can see, exhausted... |
Shizuka's mother |
Only one sword survives. Another second, and everything would have been over... |
Shizuka |
Fortunately, we made it in time... |
Shizuka's mother |
So, did you see Mikoshiba-sama with the devil...? |
Sunao |
She was manipulating the devil... |
Shizuka's mother |
In other words, they are collusive...? |
Chiharu |
That is still unknown. |
Chiharu |
It looked so, but it's possible that she was actually manipulated. |
Shizuka |
Chiharu, we will talk about that later. |
Shizuka |
Just ask Mikoshiba after she wakes up. |
Chiharu |
Okay... |
Chiharu's mother |
Then, let's go back to my home for now... |
Shizuka's mother |
May I also go to the house Ms. Hiroe rented? |
Chiharu's mother |
Ms. Tokime's home was almost devastated after all... |
Shizuka |
What... |
Mikoshiba |
Mu... uu... |
Shizuka |
Finally she woke up... |
Chiharu |
Old woman, are you fine...? |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Mikoshiba |
... Ye are diviners'— |
Chiharu's mother |
Though there is no injury in particular, do you feel unwell? |
Shizuka's mother |
Ms. Hiroe, you don't have to take care of her too much. |
Mikoshiba |
Tokime's and Hiroe's... |
Mikoshiba |
Was that like, I got injured and then fell asleep? |
Chiharu |
... Don't you remember anything? |
Mikoshiba |
Sorry... My recent memories are blur... |
Chiharu |
Huh... Can it be...? |
Shizuka |
It's possible for one who got a devil's cursing seals to have things forgotten... |
Mikoshiba |
Thou mean'st, I, by the devil...? |
Sunao |
... But, rather, it looked like you were manipulating the devil... |
Mikoshiba |
I can't remember that... Sorry... |
Mikoshiba |
But it's true that ye saved me, right? |
Mikoshiba |
I have to express my gratitude to ye three diviners. Thank ye. |
Shizuka |
Anyway... We have things to ask from you... |
Mikoshiba |
... What |
Shizuka |
Whether your memory is blurred or not, I just want you to let us know. |
Shizuka |
About us diviners... |
All 20
Mikoshiba |
... They are all that I have said, correct...? |
Shizuka |
Yeah, you said so. |
Shizuka |
At the coming-of-age ceremony, you said a diviner eventually becomes a devil. |
Shizuka |
You also said that as the shadow of the Land of the Rising Sun, a diviner can never go out... |
Mikoshiba |
They are all things I don't know... |
Mikoshiba |
But I don't think thou art a dishonest girl... |
Mikoshiba |
So please allow me to make an apology. |
Shizuka |
Is that so... |
Chiharu |
The old woman is lying... |
Mikoshiba |
That's troublesome... |
Mikoshiba |
Considering what I have done, it's natural for thou to say so... |
Chiharu |
It smells wrong... Still... |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
It's no longer possible. I can't tolerate anymore... |
Mikoshiba |
Toki's daughter... |
Sunao |
I thought you might admit all of them, but now it seems impossible... |
Sunao |
To protect Shizuka and Charu from being hurt by the truths, I had held back from telling about them... |
Sunao |
I thought if Mikoshiba would be punished, may as well bring them to the grave. |
Sunao |
But, but no longer! |
Mikoshiba |
What—what arr thou talking about... |
Shizuka |
What are those things that you held back from telling us... |
Sunao |
...! |
Sunao |
I, I went to Mikoshiba's home, right? |
Sunao |
At that point, of course, I didn't find Mikoshiba there. |
Mikoshiba |
If so, where was I... |
Sunao |
At the Great Sanctuary... |
Mikoshiba |
You fool, you mean I was there...!? At the holy place, with the devil!? |
Sunao |
Don't avoid the topic! |
Sunao |
You don't remember threatening to kill my parents, do you? |
Mikoshiba |
Sorry... |
Chiharu's mother |
Then, you shouldn't remember asking me to come and threatening me either... |
Mikoshiba |
That's... true... |
Sunao |
Since when...? Since when did your memories become blurred? |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Mikoshiba |
I see... Since Sunao's case, I guess. |
Mikoshiba |
One year... Or maybe... as long as two years if not less... |
Sunao |
If so, at least you should remember one case as normal... |
Mikoshiba |
Which... one...? |
Chiharu |
Sunao-chan... What are you talking about...? |
All 21
Sunao |
I went to Mikoshiba's home, and found something... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Sunao |
A computer, which shouldn't be here in this village... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Sunao |
I entered the same number to the number of the safe box and logged in it. |
Sunao |
Then, I found some audio files... |
Mikoshiba |
... So what? |
Sunao |
The files were at least 2 years old... |
Mikoshiba |
... Thou listenedst to them? |
Sunao |
Yes... Clearly with my ears... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Mikoshiba |
So... So... Thou listenedst to them... |
Sunao |
What are they... Tell me...!! |
Mikoshiba |
Thou'd better not to know. |
Mikoshiba |
Ignorance is bliss. |
Sunao |
Are you trying to bluff it out! |
Mikoshiba |
... Yeah, I shouldn't have allowed people from outside in... |
Mikoshiba |
Let me tell ye, there is no written documentation, |
Mikoshiba |
so no villager would be able to read about them. |
Sunao |
Mikoshiba...! |
Creak... |
Sunao |
Eh... |
Mikoshiba |
Ough... |
Sunao |
Mikoshiba...!? |
Chiharu |
Old woman! |
Shizuka |
Wait, what's up...!? |
Chiharu |
Mom! |
Chiharu's mother |
Leave this house! |
Chiharu |
The old woman, is dead, really...? |
Shizuka's mother |
Yeah... |
Shizuka's mother |
Poison was put between her back teeth. |
Shizuka's mother |
Perhaps she attempted to escape to Hades. |
Chiharu |
Even if she didn't... |
Chiharu's mother |
Charu... |
Sunao |
That means she admitted them... Her wrongdoings... |
Chiharu |
But... but... He said any bad guy can be reformed... |
Chiharu |
Mr. Todoriki said so... |
Shizuka |
It's quite possible that people who can't exist... |
Chiharu |
............ |
Sunao |
I can't forgive that... |
Sunao |
Doing malicious things at her will, and even burying them in the darkness when dying...! |
Sunao |
Sorry... I shouldn't have said like that... |
Sunao |
I should have... ask more from Mikoshiba before saying that...! |
Shizuka's mother |
Sunao-chan, calm down... |
Shizuka |
Probably, I would have interrogated even if Sunao wouldn't... |
Shizuka |
Because the dead bodies I saw underwater weren't accumulated within just a couple of years. |
Shizuka |
She had always... always... |
Shizuka |
been simply killing diviners, regardless of devils... |
Shizuka |
...Son Sunao, what did your heard about...? |
Sunao |
... I don't even want to talk about that. |
Shizuka |
Something to do with me and Chiharu, right... |
Shizuka |
Just let me know... |
Sunao |
Don't. You will regret it! |
Shizuka |
But it's about us, right? |
Shizuka |
It's unfair if you carry it to the grave. |
Chiharu |
Yeah, Sunao-chan |
Chiharu |
We want to know about our things, so let us bear it too. |
Sunao |
............ |
Sunao |
What I heard... what I heard was |
Sunao |
...! |
Sunao |
The pricing of lives... |
All 22
Chiharu |
The pricing of lives...? |
Shizuka |
Which means, the pricing of my and Chiharu's lives...? |
Sunao |
... Exactly. |
Sunao |
A conversation with an unknown man was recorded... |
Sunao |
Though it was hard to understand at the beginning, |
Sunao |
the topic gradually shifted to about the wish made when becoming a diviner... |
Chiharu |
Who is on the other side...? |
Sunao |
I heard only his voice in the file at that moment. As for his name... |
Sunao |
Anyway, he must be a celebrity... |
Sunao |
She talked about the pricing of the wish... and the trend of the time... with that person... |
Shizuka |
In short, our wishes... Our lives were sold out... |
Shizuka |
Hah... |
Shizuka |
Sorry for telling you straightforward... You are more tolerant than I expected... |
Chiharu |
............ |
Sunao |
... Uh... |
Chiharu |
We didn't wish for the Land of the Rising Sun...? |
Sunao |
... That fact doesn't change. |
Chiharu |
But, the old woman received money and asked us to make the wishes... |
Chiharu |
I... |
Chiharu |
I didn't sacrifice my life to the god... |
Chiharu |
My life was just sold to an unknown man... |
Chiharu |
... My wish... What did I wish for... |
Shizuka |
Indeed, it was probably sold. Even so... Even so, Charu... |
Shizuka |
Your wish was indeed realized, and foiled the evil nesting within justice... |
Chiharu |
Shizuka-chan... |
Shizuka |
So, it was meaningful... It was... Charu...! |
Chiharu |
Yeah... |
Chiharu |
By the way, Sunao-chan... How much was I...? |
Chiharu's mother |
Wait, Charu... You don't have to ask about that... |
Sunao |
Yeah, it's not about price. |
Chiharu |
This liar... |
Sunao |
We are friends, and that's priceless. |
Sunao |
Charu and Shizuka have always been the greatest people. |
Sunao |
How much are they... I don't know... |
Chiharu |
Sunao-chaan... |
Shizuka |
Thank you... |
Shizuka |
Sorry for making you bear that... You are the greatest person too... |
Sunao |
Even if I attempted to kill you...? |
Shizuka |
Of course. |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
It turned out that Mikoshiba knew everything and manipulated the devil too... |
Shizuka |
And this village has long been selling lives since ancient times... |
Shizuka's mother |
Shizuka, not exactly... |
Shizuka's mother |
This is Tokime's village. It knows nothing about how things were before Mikoshiba came... |
Shizuka's mother |
Even if you want to ask, the dead men tell no tales... |
Chiharu |
............ |
Chiharu |
Jeez... |
Chiharu |
If that's the case... If that's the case, just do it till the very end...! |
Chiharu's mother |
Charu, what are you doing! Stop! |
Shizuka's mother |
As my mom said, however bad she was, a dead person is dead! |
Chiharu |
Not that... |
Chiharu |
It still smells wrong, didn't I say that just now! |
Chiharu |
The old woman still smells like a bad person even when she is dead! |
Chiharu's mother |
So what can you do? |
Chiharu |
The so-called truth may be lying in the very unexpected vicinity. |
Chiharu |
If it could lie in the computer Sunao-chan found |
Chiharu |
the real important things may be carried with her, right? |
Chiharu's mother |
I see... Let me search... |
Mikoshiba |
............ |
Chiharu's mother |
... I'm sorry. |
Chiharu's mother |
............ |
Chiharu |
Is there... nothing...? |
Chiharu's mother |
Something inside the pocket... |
Chiharu |
Here it is... |
Chiharu's mother |
... This is |
Shizuka |
a book...? What... what is the weird script... |
Sunao |
I don't know... |
Shizuka's mother |
Nothing can be done if it is unreadable... |
Chiharu |
This is... |
Chiharu's mother |
A brain is essential to becoming Mr. Todoriki. |
Chiharu's mother |
You promised that you will study and learn the classics now. |
Chiharu |
H'm. Why the classics? |
Chiharu's mother |
You have to, it is the Hiroe family's tradition. |
Chiharu |
I'll change this from my generation... |
Chiharu |
Mom!! |
Chiharu's mother |
We... can read it...! |
Shizuka |
You're kidding... |
Chiharu |
Our family has the rule of remembering this script... |
Chiharu's mother |
But we never expected it to appear in such case... |
Shizuka |
It can be... deciphered? |
Chiharu |
Quite possibly...! |
Shizuka's mother |
Then I'll leave the deciphering to you. We are going to summon other people. |
Shizuka's mother |
Other villagers are still in shelters. |
Shizuka's mother |
Anyhow, Mikoshiba should be carried home too... |
Sunao |
Okay... |
Shizuka |
Then, Charu... Please... |
Chiharu |
Okay. I'll try. Mom, try reading this. |
Chiharu's mother |
Yeah. We probably have to stay overnight. |

- Mikoshiba - |
"It's me." |
'About the person to realize the wonder realized is she prepared yet?' |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Please wait a bit longer, I can guarantee that will be done within several days." |
'Things will be screwed up if you don't hurry up. If it goes well, it will be an incident that could change the political situation.' |
- Mikoshiba - |
"I know thy circumstances. Dost thou know how many times I have traded with people like thee? It's not the first time for thee to ask us for help" |
'I got your contact information from my teacher, but whether I will trust you depends on how this case turns out.' |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Thy political rival hath come to contact me too, but the price thou suggest is much more favourable" |
'Please don't be late I already paid for the wish' |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Let me tell thee, it will be just several days' wait" |
- Mikoshiba - |
"When that moment cometh the wish thou paid for will be granted and thou shalt be thankful to thy teacher too" |
'Thanks. I'm counting on you' |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Besides, thou shouldst know that our conversations are all recorded as evidence and will become each other's Achilles' heels" |
- Mikoshiba - |
"Thou shalt never forget that for thy political career may end because of it." |

Sunao branch ends. The story continues on the main route (See All 15)
All 23
Shizuka |
Thanks for your hard work, Charu. |
Sunao |
Thanks. |
Chiharu |
It's my first time to stay overnight... |
Sunao |
The same to us. |
Chiharu |
Was it much harder for you to deal with? |
Sunao |
It's because Mikoshiba died... |
Shizuka |
And on top of that, the dancers died too, creating a fuss... |
Chiharu |
That's the reason why people were gathering... |
Shizuka |
Perhaps only people linked to diviners knew the fact... |
Shizuka |
The dancers were said to be adopted as Mikoshiba's successors. |
Sunao |
Then, what about Charu's side? |
Chiharu |
Here is it: though we didn't dig into every detail, it's comprehensible overall. |
Chiharu's mother |
Though almost all read by your mother. |
Chiharu |
Ur... I will learn it hard... |
Sunao |
But why should we come here? |
Chiharu |
This shrine is the root of Tokime, a good place to start things, |
Chiharu |
except it isn't — The Wavering Deity is nearby. |
Shizuka |
Why the Wavering Deity? |
Chiharu |
Just listen to it and you will understand. |
Shizuka's mother |
So can we listen to it now? |
Shizuka's mother |
Don't just give us cliffhangers and make us impatient. |
Chiharu's mother |
Okay, the story is divided into two chapters. |
Chiharu |
One is Mikoshiba's story, another Tokime's. |
- Chiharu - |
Let me begin with Mikoshiba's story She used to be a warrior dispatched to protect Tokime who managed to come into power when there happened to be no diviners in the village |
- Chiharu - |
Since then Mikoshiba altered many rules creating rituals like Nation's Guard's Holy Music, the ceremony of diviners, and the coming-of-age ceremony |
- Chiharu - |
By having the village's girls have their wishes granted she obtained the ability to manipulate devils |
- Chiharu - |
Then she hid the village in a labyrinth |
- Chiharu - |
Which is to say, Mikoshiba hid the village in which diviners are created for money in a labyrinth killing diviners in order to monopolize it so that no information would be leaked out |
Shizuka |
What Mikoshiba had done on me... |
Chiharu |
seems to have been long followed... |
Shizuka |
Then, we might one day become devils... |
Chiharu |
Seems to be true too... |
Shizuka |
How can that be... |
Shizuka |
... What followings that! |
Chiharu |
Okay, go on. |
- Chiharu - |
The following writes about the Wavering Deity |
- Chiharu - |
It is a devil formed by the dumped diviners who could neither go out nor return to the village hence becoming a drifting existence |
- Chiharu - |
The Wavering Deity would return to the village as soon as Mikoshiba and the labyrinth of the devil are eliminated |
- Chiharu - |
Ultimately, it will devour the village and erase all evidence of the diviners — That's all it writes |
Chiharu's mother |
It feels like an obsession that she would never surrender Tokime to anyone else... |
Shizuka |
Oh, wait... |
Shizuka |
Since there is already no labyrinth covering the village...! |
Chiharu |
Yeah, the Wavering Deity must be returning... |
Chiharu |
At that time, we must defeat it. |
Sunao |
We'll attacking our ancestors head-on... |
Chiharu |
Not exactly... |
Chiharu |
We are going to liberate the diviners who have always suffered... |
Chiharu |
By us the rules Mikoshiba had set up will be smashed...! |
Shizuka |
But, since our ancestors have grown for so many years, |
Shizuka |
are we three capable of defeating them...? |
Shizuka |
Though we know a battle is inevitable. |
Shizuka |
Wow! |
Chiharu |
This reaction... It's the Wavering Deity... |
Shizuka |
Now I understand the reason to get all the trouble to take up positions here. |
Shizuka |
We will attack it head-on here, right? |
Shizuka's mother |
I know it's a bad timing, but can you all return to my home...? |
Shizuka |
Mom!? |
Shizuka's mother |
I'll tell you about the sword I talked about last night while walking. |
Shizuka's mother |
Whew, it still raise my pulse despite my life experience. |
All 24
Shizuka |
So what are you gonna inform me? |
Shizuka's mother |
Firstly, Hiroe family is the descendant of Mikoshiba, make no mistake. |
Chiharu |
Huh... By Mikoshiba, you mean the old woman? |
Shizuka's mother |
Exactly. |
Chiharu |
But why!? |
Shizuka's mother |
Only Mikoshiba's people can read that kind of script. |
Chiharu |
Though I heard from my mom that we came out from Tokime's Village |
Chiharu's mother |
I never expected that to be Mikoshiba... |
Chiharu |
It's complicated... |
Shizuka's mother |
Don't say so, |
Shizuka's mother |
because we Tokime's family have been waiting for you |
Chiharu |
You know we didn't come for that, right? |
Shizuka's mother |
Even I wasn't aware of that until last night. |
Shizuka's mother |
But finally, I understood the meaning of the story that has been passed down by Tokime's... |
Shizuka's mother |
When the ones who can read Mikoshiba's script appear, Mikoshiba will collapse. |
Shizuka's mother |
Before the collapse, diviners should sharpen a sword. |
Shizuka's mother |
There is a legend goes like this in Tokime's family. |
Shizuka |
............ |
Shizuka |
This time we decided to decipher the book after witnessing the situation of the village. |
Shizuka |
Actually, could we read the book in the first place, we would be able to see the big picture of the plan... |
Shizuka |
And to annihilate the plan, we will battle against the Wavering Deity... |
Sunao |
Maybe Shizuka's and Charu's families used to cooperate with each other? |
Sunao |
And the plan was leaked, so one was banished and lived outside as Hiroe family... |
Shizuka |
My family has been sharpening the knife... |
Chiharu |
My family has been passing down Mikoshiba's script... |
Shizuka's mother |
Shizuka! Accept this! |
Shizuka's mother |
This is the treasured sword to which Tokime's diviners' power has infused. |
Shizuka's mother |
Use the power incorporated during the 100 years, 200 years, or even 300 years, |
Shizuka's mother |
and liberate the Wavering Deity. |
Shizuka |
I'll use it properly. |
Sunao |
This will be the final battle |
Chiharu |
Those who infused their emotions into the sword must be wandering as the Wavering Deity. |
Shizuka |
Go and welcome them back, as well as the bright feeling they once had. |
Chiharu |
At the end of the centuries-long time! |
All 25
Chiharu |
The Wavering Deity is pretty close... |
Sunao |
No, it's still far away... |
Chiharu |
Will it become excited when seeing the village? |
Shizuka |
After hundreds of years of wandering, it will finally see its hometown... |
Shizuka |
Though they are no longer humans they used to be, but just a devil. |
Shizuka |
Still, seeing the place where it beloned |
Shizuka |
should make it happy, right? |
- Chiharu - |
-Chiharu- However, even if it wants to return happily it is just a venomous devil now |
- Sunao - |
-Sunao- We can't allow Tokime's village surrendered to it as its living space |
Shizuka |
That's why we should liberate it with our hands, right! |
Chiharu |
Yeah, exactly! |
Chiharu |
Their real destination is the Heaven. |
→→→→!!! |
Chiharu |
O—kay! |
Chiharu |
The first shot — nah, the first jitte is mine! |
→↑↓↑←!?!? |
→→→⇒!! |
Shizuka |
Let us go your boss' place! |
←↓←↑!?!? |
→⇒→⇒!!! |
Sunao |
Go inward at one fling! |
↓↓↓→...!?!? |
Chiharu |
Huh... Huh... Hey, Shizuka-chan! |
Shizuka |
What's up, Charu? |
Chiharu |
What's next after liberating the Wavering Deity! |
Sunao |
Too early to ask. |
Shizuka |
Though we don't know, I guess we will have to rebuild the village first, |
Shizuka |
then explain things that have happened so far. |
Shizuka |
Everyone will definitely be shocked just like what happened yesterday. |
Chiharu |
Not that—! |
Shizuka |
What!? |
Chiharu |
I mean what should we do as diviners! |
Shizuka |
Well, what should we do...? |
Shizuka |
We won't know until we defeat it. |
Shizuka |
You see, finish up what's right in front of you first! |
Shizuka |
We are entering the deepest part. |
Chiharu |
Okay. |
壷*rカ蟶縺ォ螳ー縺Ы※!! |
Sunao |
--!? |
Chiharu |
The devil's power feels overwhelming... |
Shizuka |
It's existence per se... seems oppressive... |
Sunao |
... |
Chiharu |
Sunao-chan! |
Sunao |
Sorry, the strong power suddenly feels... |
Chiharu |
Really, my head... feels dizzy now... |
Shizuka |
Even the followers are bluffing...?It's hard to even stand up, why... |
繧ゅ@ク縺ェ縺??ェ峨?∫ァ√ |
Shizuka |
AAaaah!! |
All 26
We kill people after becoming a devil We didn't become the existence that saved the Land of the Rising Sun We want to tell others, but we can no longer do anything |
Shizuka |
Hah... |
Shizuka |
What, is that voice...! |
- ??? - |
Though 'twas a diviner's body, as a devil, becometh tantamount to death Even if I save one person tomorrow may kill a hundred the day after |
Shizuka |
(The devil...?) |
貞ョ医溽ゥ「繧後◆肴オ!! |
Shizuka |
Don't look at me... |
- ??? - |
Tainted, stained, we became unclean |
Shizuka |
Stop... Don't say that...! |
- ??? - |
'Tis a body for price evaluation |
Shizuka |
(This is...) |
- ??? - |
One silver coin, two silver coins, forty grammes, eighty grammes, price label'd, display'd in shops |
Shizuka |
(From within my body...!) |
- Shizuka - |
My life isn't mine I was kept, sold, then became a devil, staining this hateful mortal world |
Shizuka |
Ye... Yeah... I don't know about what's next. |
Shizuka |
Because we are existences that will become devils... |
Shizuka |
We didn't fight for the Land of the Rising Sun, so we are designed to be killed. |
Shizuka |
Even pricing lives... |
Shizuka |
Even what Mikoshiba had done might be right. |
Shizuka |
And that's why we have been living within the confine of these conventions... |
Shizuka |
I really don't want to consider about what's next after defeating it. |
Shizuka |
Because, isn't it too horrible! |
蝨*溷慍‡繧[]貞ョ医l!! |
Shizuka |
............ |
Sunao |
Ough...! |
Sunao |
Pricing lives is wrong...! |
Sunao |
As you Shizuka said to me, I am the best person, |
Sunao |
there is no difference between lives! |
Sunao |
Wouldn't Shizuka be admirable if she maintains her honor, never surrendering it, and always does her best? |
Sunao |
Even if we become devils someday, |
Sunao |
won't it be good if we fight for the Land of the Rising Sun till the very end! |
Sunao |
Meanwhile, we may be able to find out... |
Sunao |
a new path for us, right! |
Sunao |
Let's find it out together, Shizuka! |
Sunao |
To compensate your forgiveness for me, |
Sunao |
I will heal your heart, always...! |
Shizuka |
Sunao... |
薙Зァ縲∫嚀俶純Лオ縺ヲ!? |
Sunao&Shizuka |
Ouuuugh! Aaah! |
Chiharu |
Cough cough... |
Chiharu |
I am too weak to be the cushion... |
Shizuka |
Chiharu... |
Sunao |
Sorry... |
Chiharu |
Hey, listen to me... |
Chiharu |
I didn't finish Tokime's story in the book, did I? |
Shizuka |
--!? |
- Chiharu - |
Before Mikoshiba came... Tokime's people think about national affairs on their own They made their wishes on their own mind too |
- Chiharu - |
Though when the war became fierce and nobody was trustwrothy and also when there were no diviners left they became under Mikoshiba's control |
- Chiharu - |
Those who became coming-of-age seemed to really have departed and gone out |
- Chiharu - |
After that, they knew their relationship with devils However, here's how Tokime's people thought |
- Chiharu - |
"Honor can be maintained as long as souls were sacrificed to the Land of the Rising Sun" |
- Chiharu - |
"Even if I become a devil, what I have achieved won't be wasted" |
Shizuka |
Which means... |
Shizuka |
If I literally sacrificed my soul to the Land of the Rising Sun... |
Shizuka |
my honor can be maintained...! |
Shizuka |
Even if I become a devil, what I have achieved won't be wasted. |
Shizuka |
Proud of that, I can fight till I eventually fall...! |
Shizuka |
That's what I said to Mikoshiba... |
Chiharu |
You did say so... |
Chiharu |
So, here's what I think: |
Chiharu |
there is no place for Mikoshiba inside Shizuka-chan's soul, which has always been Tokeme's. |
Chiharu |
Thus, as Sunao-chan said, let's find it out together! |
Sunao |
Shizuka! |
Shizuka |
Sorry... |
Shizuka |
I was the one who was beaten by the devil... |
Shizuka |
But I have woken up...! |
蟆剰ウ「励>滉Ч偵Щ九↑! |
Shizuka |
Let us three keep some distance! |
Chiharu |
Okay! |
Shizuka |
Fortunately, we are a trio. |
Shizuka |
I want us three to win together and find our new future! |
Shizuka |
So! |
菫wp*斬翫Лq!! |
Shizuka |
Let's watch over where our ancestors will be liberated! |
Shizuka |
Huh... |
Shizuka |
Oh, Tokime's sword... |
Shizuka |
Open a future for us...!! |
All 27
- Chiharu - |
Time elapsed hurriedly after the Wavering Deity was liberated |
- Chiharu - |
That's because we had to tell everyone the history of Tokime and Mikoshiba |
- Chiharu - |
As well as to search Mikoshiba's home and investigate into her background so far |
Chiharu |
Is your family fine, Sunao-chan? |
Sunao |
Yeah, perfectly. |
Sunao |
Papa and mama also apologized more than before. |
Shizuka |
I'm glad that everything returned to normal. |
Shizuka |
Now we have broken free from Mikoshiba's curse. |
Sunao |
Yes. |
Chiharu |
And we will be together from now on too, right? |
Sunao |
Of course. Why not? |
Shizuka's mother |
Ah—, I'm tired; I'm tired... |
Chiharu's mother |
It is a feeling of done and dusted though. |
Shizuka's mother |
Actually, everyone is so unfamiliar with modern society. |
Shizuka's mother |
Without you, Ms. Hiroe, we couldn't have made clear anything. |
Chiharu |
Welcome back, mom. |
Shizuka |
You must be tired. |
Shizuka's mother |
On the case of Mikoshiba, everything finally fell into place. |
Chiharu |
--!? |
Chiharu |
How was that!? |
Shizuka's mother |
Let Ms. Hiroe tell that. |
Chiharu's mother |
Eh, ah, okay... |
- Chiharu's mother - |
The root of this incident was indeed the village's convention but it seems that what triggered it was the Mikoshiba's debt |
- Chiharu's mother - |
After a huge investment failed she seemed in trouble of cash flow Therefore, she took advantages from diviners hurrily |
Chiharu's mother |
Regardless of reasons, she used others' kids... |
Chiharu's mother |
I can't forgive that, not even if I am dead... |
Chiharu |
Mom... |
Chiharu's mother |
I don't want to say like that before my daughter, but it's such a feeling of holding a grudge until the doomsday. |
Chiharu's mother |
Definitely... |
Shizuka's mother |
That being said, Ms. Hiroe, the doomsday hasn't come yet, right? |
Chiharu's mother |
... Don't carp at me pointlessly. |
Sunao |
Then, the reason she reached out to me and Chiharu was... |
Chiharu's mother |
Sunao-chan's becoming a diviner should be out of Mikoshiba's expectation. |
Chiharu's mother |
So she turned to us, triggering an unexpected chain of incidents. |
Sunao |
If so, had I never become a diviner, Charu wouldn't have to bear all of these. |
Chiharu |
There is no such thing! |
Chiharu |
We already decided to be together. Don't dither over such thing! |
Sunao |
O—okay, I know that. |
Shizuka |
By the way, what about other villagers? It seems that they never calm down... |
Shizuka's mother |
Eventually, the village has been blessed by diviners. |
Shizuka's mother |
In the past, people could grow their own crops and live good lives. |
Shizuka's mother |
In other words, adults become worried when losing their financial support. |
Shizuka's mother |
Of course, I am no exception. |
Shizuka |
Please don't say that indifferently... |
Shizuka's mother |
What Mikoshiba worried about included the funding of the village too. |
Shizuka's mother |
We have to take it into consideration. |
Shizuka |
... The same way we also worry everything about the future of diviners... |
Shizuka |
People in the village have their things to worry about in the future too. |
Shizuka's mother |
That's true. |
Shizuka |
Didn't you find anything else? |
Shizuka's mother |
Hmm, if you mean something interesting, I found something like Tokime's family tree. |
Shizuka's mother |
Actually, Tokime's bloodline seems to have scattered all around. |
Shizuka's mother |
It looks like our blood relatives live in other mountains and seaside areas too. |
Shizuka |
Hueh— |
Chiharu's mother |
On top of that, what will you do? That's what I concerned about. |
Chiharu |
We have a clear answer in our minds. |
Chiharu |
We already knew what we would fight for in our hearts and what we would aim at! |
Shizuka's mother |
Oh, you became pretty reliable. |
Shizuka's mother |
Then, what's your first step? |
Chiharu |
Firstly, we will have a conversation with Cubey-sama! |
Shizuka's mother |
With Cubey-sama? |
Sunao |
Yes, about any method for us to avoid becoming devils, |
Sunao |
we want to know if he knows anything about that. |
Shizuka |
Then, we will plan our future living according to the answer. |
Chiharu's mother |
Anyhow, we three will be together from now on. |
Chiharu |
Yeah! |
Chiharu |
Because we must change us diviners' fate! |
All 28
Sunao |
Can we summon it out without dancers? |
Shizuka |
It is the god, but we are not the priestess. I'm afraid we can't. |
Chiharu |
We won't know unless we try! |
Shizuka |
Yeah. |
Chiharu |
Then, let's try shouting loudly! |
Shizuka |
Okay. |
Chiharu |
One, two, |
- Three people - |
"Kyu———be————sama————" |
Shizuka |
............ |
Sunao |
............ |
Chiharu |
............ |
Shizuka |
It doesn't work? |
Kyubey |
Hey, it's you who called me out, right? |
Chiharu |
He came! |
Shizuka |
Then what's the meaning of the dance...? |
Sunao |
Probably a performance to make it felt solemn... |
Kyubey |
Did you summoned me for no reason? |
Shizuka |
Ah, no! We have things to ask you! |
Kyubey |
I'll answer anything I can. |
Kyubey |
Then, Shizuka, what do you want to ask from me? |
Shizuka |
Well, we know that we will become devils... |
Shizuka |
Do you know any method to avoid that? |
Shizuka |
The means that we can keep living as diviners. |
Shizuka |
Because we fight for the Land of the Rising Sun and don't want others to suffer! |
Kyubey |
I'm sorry, but I cannot satisfy your expectation. |
Chiharu |
You don't know any...? |
Kyubey |
True. |
Kyubey |
At least I don't know any method to avoid it. |
Kyubey |
There haven't been many successful cases so far. |
Chiharu |
--!? |
Chiharu |
Did you just say "many"!? |
Chiharu |
Then it means it's just Cubey-sama doesn't know, |
Chiharu |
but the method exists, right!? |
Sunao |
Yet, Cubey-sama doesn't know, right...? |
Kyubey |
True. It's hard for me to tell you by myself. |
Kyubey |
But you can see how it works and obtain it. |
Sunao |
Obtain...? |
Kyubey |
Do you know a place called Kamihama City or not? |
Chiharu |
I don't... |
Shizuka |
Neither I... |
Sunao |
Ah, I once heard about it! |
Kyubey |
There is an automatic purification system in Kamihama City. |
Kyubey |
Thus, if you manage to obtain it, |
Kyubey |
I think you will be able to avoid becoming devils. |
Kyubey |
Of course, I cannot say I am sure about that. |
Shizuka |
That trivial thing doesn't matter...! I suddenly feel the overwhelming hope...! |
Shizuka |
Let's go! To Kamihama City! |
Sunao |
Yeah, I'll guide you using a map! |
Chiharu |
I will explain everything about modern society to Shizuka-chan! |
Shizuka |
That—that's not quite necessary. |
Chiharu |
Can you use an IC card...? |
Shizuka |
... Haven't even heard the name. |
Chiharu |
It's decided! |
Kyubey |
If you feel like to go to Kamihama, I have several things to explain. |
Chiharu |
Explain...? |
Kyubey |
First, there are dozens of girls like you in Kamihama City. |
Kyubey |
You'd better keep that in mind. |
Kyubey |
Second, they have some different terminology. |
Chiharu |
Huh...? |
Kyubey |
For example, except around Tokime's territory, girls like you |
Kyubey |
aren't known as diviners. |
Shizuka |
Then, how they call us? |
Kyubey |
You are called magical girls. |
Epilogue
Sunao |
Diviner. |
Shizuka |
Magical girl! |
Sunao |
Devil. |
Shizuka |
Witch! |
Sunao |
Devil's ghost. |
Chiharu |
Well! Grief seed! |
Sunao |
Jewel. |
Shizuka |
Soul gem! |
Sunao |
I lose the game! |
Chiharu |
While I remembered it well. |
Shizuka |
I am too familiar with the old names. |
Shizuka |
It's pretty hard to switch away... |
Sunao |
That's because of your long experience. |
Shizuka |
Speaking of which, Charu hasn't since felt the village's awful smell? |
Chiharu |
No. It's completely away. Now I breathe more freely. |
Sunao |
Eh, was that a real smell? |
Chiharu |
Actually not. It was like something from intuition? |
Shizuka |
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with witches, but is really like a power specialized for any case. |
Chiharu |
Yeah, I might have felt malice at that time. |
Sunao |
It somehow sounds like a power that may be useful in the future too. |
Chiharu |
I'll do my best for that! |
Shizuka |
That's reassuring. |
Chiharu |
But it still feels incredible. |
Chiharu |
It hasn't been long since I met with Shizuka-chan and Sunao-chan, |
Chiharu |
but we three are actually departing together. |
Sunao |
Looking back, I couldn't imagine it at all. |
Chiharu |
It's so exciting! |
Shizuka |
It's been just a couple of days since Charu became a magical girl. |
Shizuka |
But for me, it was quite a radical change? |
Sunao |
Shizuka is more like confused. |
Shizuka |
Nah, actually not quite. |
Sunao |
Really? |
Shizuka |
I don't really understand it, but I think something finally started, |
Shizuka |
and that's my life. |
-Chiharu- We will obtain it someday The means for not becoming witches! |
-Sunao- And we will keep fighting for the Land of the Rising Sun till death |
-Shizuka- That's us Tokime Clan's long-maintained honor |
-Chiharu- To do so, first, we have to? |
-Shizuka- I already got the answer |
-Chiharu- Great, Shizuka-chan! |
-Sunao- Then, what's the answer? |
-Shizuka- We should read the family tree remained in Mikoshiba's home and get into contact with people from Tokime clan and its branches |
-Shizuka- We will recruit people who are willing to join us and found a group of Tokime clan |
-Chiharu- Oooooh! |
-Shizuka- When prepared let's go to the other side of this landscape! |
-Sunao- Exactly over the mountains to the place beyond them |
-Three people- To Kamihama City! |
The End
