| 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 people who go against the village's intention... |
| Sunao |
| Therefore, I was attempting to kill. 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 out of her expectation, and I who wanted to guard her, were aimed at. |
| 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 heart 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 came to 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 about what happened from you... |
| Shizuka |
| Then, it's my turn to talk... About what I heard during the coming-of-age ceremony. |
| Chiharu |
| In other words, from the one that I saw... |
| Shizuka |
| Yeah, Mikoshiba said so 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 keep 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 |
| Weren't we just literally sacrificing our souls...! |
| Mikoshiba |
| Exactly. |
| Shizuka |
| ............ |
| Shizuka |
| Yeag... No... It's not time to cry...! |
| Shizuka |
| If I 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 is trapped at the bottom of the water and never makes it... |
| Shizuka |
| Now that you heard it... Are you still 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 for sinking diviners, |
| Chiharu |
| and about Sunao-chan, everything! |
| Chiharu |
| That way, everyone can be saved! |
| 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, the power of diviners... |
| Shizuka |
| If so, the picture that we will be killed eventually, |
| Shizuka |
| the villainy of threating 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 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 in you two 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 expected our returning...! |
| Shizuka |
| The devil would be alright without some people involved... |
| 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 |
| How 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 seems 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 noted 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 |
| Hmn, 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. |
| Shizuka |
| ... Please don't force yourself. |
| Sunao |
| Okay. |
| Shizuka |
| Then, Charu, |
| Shizuka |
| it 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. |
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, 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 an imprint of the devil 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, Miss Hiroe! An open field is a better place for fighting! |
| Chiharu's mother |
| The place is better for fighting, but Miss Tokime, this sword isn't, right! |
| Shizuka's mother |
| We have no choice but to go on 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 |
| Didn't you two escape? |
| 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 |
| Hee! |
| 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 like 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 till 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 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 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 exactly 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, is 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 restless. |
| 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... It's 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...？ |
