"A series of mysterious deaths has brought us to this lakeside village, where our job is to help the Suzakuin family conduct a ceremony at the village festival." "We were introduced to the beautiful widow Kyoko and her twin daughters - the defiant older daughter Mai and the frail but kindhearted Miyabi." "It would seem that one of them is somehow connected to this case." "Now there's been yet another victim." "Kyoko." "Hey, it's me" " Ichinomiya." "I wanted to ask you something." "Are you there?" "It's not that big a deal." "Don't worry." "Haruka, I..." " Mai?" " I love you." "Will of the Winds" " Part 2" "If you listen closely, you should be able to hear" "The faint voice calling out to you" "Yes, deep within the thick woods of three thousand worlds" "Someone is screaming out to pry open the night" "Secret world, let's go to help beyond the veil" "Close your eyes and fly towards an invisible world" "Of the past, of the future" "Secret world, secret world" "Why not be with me instead of my twice-widowed mother?" "Then all of our land and wealth will belong to you." "That doesn't sound so bad now, does it?" "Well?" "Kantaro?" "You don't have to do this." "Mai, you know I was never your enemy." " Mai, it's all right." " Get out!" "Just get out!" "You don't want me, Haruka?" "I'm not good enough for you because of my sickness, is that it?" "Don't work yourself up." "It wouldn't have mattered who it was." " I just happened to be on hand." " That's not true!" "I do love you." "I love you." "I love you, Haruka." "I found it." "Hey, Yoko?" " Yoko, shh." " Huh?" "Oh, sorry about that." "Anyway... this insect repellent isn't working at all." " Aren't they biting you?" " Well, no." "Not yet, luckily." "Honestly, why are they only targeting me, huh?" "'Cause you have a high body temperature." "Huh?" "Kantaro!" "They'll bite you if your temperature's high?" "Yeah, mosquitoes like people who have high body temperatures." "Huh." "I'd better lower mine." " Is that really gonna lower it?" " It's all a matter of willpower." " Willpower, huh?" " So, how's it going?" "Hmm?" "Oh, Kantaro, big news." "Guess who we saw come here." "It was Kyoko, wasn't it?" "She wasn't in the shrine, so I figured..." "She's the culprit, Kantaro." "It's gotta be her!" " Yeah, I think it's her, too." " There's still no solid proof." "I know you wanna protect her 'cause she's your meal ticket, but there's no doubt about it!" "Aren't you going to stop her?" "Hey, Kantaro, are you listening?" "Over here!" " Lady Miyabi!" " Lady Miyabi, are you feeling all right?" "Yes." "Thanks for your concern." "Tonight's the night, huh?" "We're hoping for another good divination this year." " So am I." " Would you care for something to eat?" " Just say the word." "We'll get it." " Thank you." " Hey, Mai, don't go." " Don't worry about her." " That's just the kind of person she is." " But Mai is..." " I feel kind of bad for Mai." " Villagers will be villagers." "Miyabi's the one who can divine, so they pay attention to her." " They don't have to be so obvious." " You're right." "After all, it's not like Mai doesn't have any spiritual power of her own." " We're counting on you, Lady Miyabi!" " We're all awaiting your divination." " Lady Miyabi!" " Haruka!" "Miyabi!" "Hey, Miyabi, are you all right?" "Miyabi doesn't have much longer to live." "The doctor said there's nothing more he can do for her." " So it's come to that point." " But she told me she was feeling fine today." "That's why I took her out to the festival." " Mai?" " Miyabi!" " Listen, please, Mai." " What is it, Miyabi?" "She could never carry out tonight's divination in that state." "Please, Mr. Ichinomiya, might I ask that you lend us your services?" "I would be glad to lend my services." "Then it's agreed." "I thank you in advance for your help." "However, I think that tonight's divination is a duty that would best be entrusted to Mai." "Do this for me." "Will you please take my place tonight, Mai?" "Take my place for tonight's divination?" "You know I can't!" "Why are you even saying that?" "I don't have nearly the kind of power you do." "There's no way I can do it!" "Yes, you can, Mai." "You can do it." "Granted, it may not be on the same level as Miyabi, but I think Mai also possesses the power of a shrine maiden." "You're aware of that too, aren't you?" "That's why you went to the house of the latest victim last night." "Did you find what you were looking for there?" "I have no idea what you're referring to." "I can't!" "Mai!" "Mai, please don't go." "Mai!" "Please, I beg you..." "Lord Taizanfukun." "You shouldn't be out of bed yet." "Kantaro." "Oh, a chrysalis." "I guess butterflies don't have long to live, do they?" "I guess not, but from the moment they're born, they flap their wings with all their might." "That image lives in the hearts of all who witness it, a testament to the fact that they were once alive." "That they were alive." " What did you say?" " I said that I will do it." "You don't mean you're - you're going to..." "Miyabi wants to leave a testament that she was alive." "Please, Mother, I'm begging you." " Miyabi..." " Miyabi." " I'll be here assisting you, so don't worry." " All right." "I'm going." " Suzu sure is late, huh?" " Where is she?" "Well, she went out to get Mai, but..." "Hey, Mai, the divination's about to get started." "Mai?" "Oh." "Hello?" "What is that?" " Are you OK?" " Yes." " Haruka?" " Huh?" " Did Mai say she's coming?" " She said she wants to see you." " Who, me?" " Uh-huh." "I see." "You're gonna make it." "Hang in there, Miyabi." "Fine." "Oh, Suzu!" "Suzu?" "Suzu!" " What happened?" " It's Suzu." "She..." "Om!" "Something came out of her." " Where's Haruka?" " I'm coming in, Mai." "So you came, Haruka." "No!" "Miyabi!" "Don't worry." "I'm fine." "Haruka is calling for help." "Please go to him, and hurry!" " But..." " Don't trouble yourself." " Thanks, but I'll be fine on my own." " Miyabi!" "I'm going to leave behind some proof that I was alive." "Stay strong, Miyabi." "Yoko, take care of Suzu while I'm gone." "You're a goblin, aren't you?" "You know, I had no idea goblins are so helpless against the Onmyo Arts I practice." "Of course, perhaps it's just that you are." "You're going to die for me, because I need your life force in order to save Miyabi." "I was right." "You were the one killing those men in hopes of saving your sister." "Lord Taizanfukun, one of the gods of the afterlife, told me himself." "He said I could save Miyabi by killing the people she loves." "I knew what I had to do, so I placed curses on all those men." "But it seems that their love wasn't enough to save her." "I'm sure that you, however, will work just fine." "You will allow Miyabi to be saved." "Therefore I implore you... to please die!" "Om Abokya Shitsudi Aku!" " Kantaro!" " Begone!" "I'm sorry, but you are severely mistaken." "Sacrifices aren't what's needed to save Miyabi." "Rather, what you need is a person who would willingly die in her stead." "There's one more thing." "It is unfortunate, but that thing you revere so much is not the real Taizanfukun, he who presides over life and death." " Wait, what are you saying?" " Haruka!" " An evil spirit." " Evil spirit?" "Rin Pyo Toh Sha Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen!" "Om Abokya Beiroshano Makabodara Mani Handoma Jimbaru Harabaritanya Hum!" "Now begone, o evil spirit!" "So you' re saying it really wasn't Taizanfukun?" "Then what was this for?" "Just what have I been doing all of this time?" "I killed those people for no reason." "None of it will help Miyabi." "She performed the divination." "The prediction is a good crop this year." "Miyabi really did try her hardest, you know." "Miyabi, hang on!" "Miyabi!" "Big sister, I..." "No, Miyabi!" "Do something, will you?" "!" "You know how to do it, don't you?" "Call the real Taizanfukun!" "And then when he gets here, you can just offer him my life instead!" "I'll take my sister's place!" "Please, just save Miyabi, Kantaro!" "Save her." " I'm sorry." "This is something I cannot do." " But you know you can do it!" "Why are you saying this?" "Do it!" "Why won't you, Kantaro?" "Don't you even care if Miyabi dies?" " Mai?" " Miyabi." "It's all right, really." "I accept it." "So I'm begging you, let go of the anger you have for Kantaro." "This is something that God has decided." "I'm a shrine maiden, and I must faithfully obey the will of God." "No, I won't let you do it, Miyabi!" "Listen, you must learn how to divine." "Then you will be able to do it as well as I can." " Protect our village." " No!" "No!" "You can't do this." "Don't leave me!" "Don't leave me all alone!" "You'll be just fine." "Haruka..." "I'm so happy I had the chance to meet you." "Miyabi!" "Miyabi!" "No!" "I curse you!" "I'll curse you the rest of my life, Kantaro Ichinomiya!" "I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble, Mr. Ichinomiya." "That night you realized what Mai was doing and went back to the victim's house to get that, didn't you?" "I did." "I had to protect Mai." "That's quite all right." "I'll be back soon to see you again." "We'll have a lot of important things to talk about, you know, like the future." "Thank you for all your help." " Operation Marry the Rich Lady is a go!" " That's just sick." "After all that, she curses you, huh?" "You could have told her the truth, couldn't you?" "Even if you had summoned Taizanfukun, he wouldn't have taken Mai as a substitute." "She committed too many sins." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "Hatred can give a despairing person the drive to keep living." "I'm sure Mai will someday learn to use the mystic arts as well as I can." " Now, Kantaro..." " No, it's OK." "At this point, I'm used to it." "You know, Haruka, be sure to remember Miyabi, OK?" "Keep her deep within your heart forever." "I've never seen someone die with such a calm smile." "I couldn't forget..." "even if I wanted to." "I understand." "It kind of looks like it's gonna rain." "Let's hurry." " Lady Mai!" " Are you hungry?" "I made strawberry candies." "Feel free to help yourself to some." "If there's anything you need, you let me know." "That's right." "We'll do whatever we can to help you out here, Lady Mai." " Yeah, Lady Mai..." " We appreciate all the help!" "In the town at night, I found myself calling out to you" "I found myself calling out to you" "Though we're far apart" "I won't fall prey to loneliness" "When we feel there's someone on our side" "We all change" "Becoming stronger, stronger, stronger" "The unseen power invites hope" "The unseen power is the courage you gave me" "What will Kantaro's next case be?" "A monster causes a ruckus at the stately manor of a trading company president." "Kantaro and the others accept the case and start investigating but can't figure out what's causing the trouble." "Meanwhile, the female president turns her alluring gaze towards Haruka." "Just then, from a bed of unusual purple roses in bloom, the true enemy finally reveals itself and bares its fangs!" "Next time on Tactics, "Of Roses and Goblins.""
