"This guy here is the true successor of the venerable Abe family." "Tail" "So that's a werefox, eh" "I came here simply to search for a person named Amemiya Satsuki." "She is my aunt." "Satsuki-san's child is Shunta, am I right?" "Yeah" "That's right" "Would you tell me what happened 16 years ago please?" "Well, if it's you" "I guess it's about time I explain it." "Satsuki worked as a live-in worker at this restaurant." "The shopping street gang quickly opened up to her." "She especially got along with Midori-chan." "She's a nurse, so she discussed a lot of things with her." "But, after she gave birth to Shunta, her health did not recover." "Putting on an act that Shunta was an abandoned child, was it because Satsuki-san requested that?" "She told us to hide the fact that she was the mother." "Did that have anything to do with your family home?" "I think Satsuki-san did not want to make Shunta succeed the Abe family." "Succeeding the Abe family?" "My family has continually carried the Onmyouji lineage for many generations." "My grandfather's health has deteriorated." "Because next head of the family must be decided," "I came here to search for Satsuki-san and the child inside her." "Because Shunta is entitled to succeed the Abe family." "So... what do you intend to do with Shunta?" "What should I do, I wonder?" "I found a weird article in the book store yesterday." "Do you know about this?" "It says that there is a werefox in Ouji." ""The true form of the werefox is a high school student and lives in the local shopping street."" "[Journalist:" "Norikura] and lives in the local shopping street."" "Even nowadays there are people who believe such stories, eh." "[Journalist:" "Norikura]" "Even nowadays there are people who believe such stories, eh." "Well, as long as this doesn't turn into a weird fuss." "R...right" "Oh hey, Yoshiaki." "You're here." "You came again huh Hideyuki" "Why do you go to such lengths..." "Grandmother" "It has been a while, Yoshiaki-san." "Long time no see." "To have someone who is the next successor of the Abe family run a fortune-telling store in a place like this..." "Don't you think it is too whimsical?" "Grandmother yourself, what happened?" "To suddenly come to this kind of place." "Have you heard that Shuuichirou-san's condition is not good?" "Yes." "It has been decided that we will do the family head takeover before this year's Great Exorcism." "It's soon, isn't it?" "Yoshiaki-san, did you find that child?" "No, not yet." "Seriously, that Satsuki!" "She took away the precious successor on her own." "As a woman of the Abe family, it is unforgivable." "So cold As a woman of the Abe family, it is unforgivable." "So cold" "Oh, Makihara-san" "Hmm?" "This person?" "Ah, Shunta-kun, that is Yoshiaki's grandmother, Haruyo-san." "Shoumei's grandma." "You are?" "A part-time worker here, Sawazaki Shunta." "Hello" "Yoshiaki-san's shikigami huh." "How old are you?" "I will be 16 soon." "Oh right, do you want to come to my house and do work?" "Before the Great Exorcism." "I was just thinking I need to clean up the study." "Eh, me?" "Well, but..." "I will pay you way above what Yoshiaki-san pays." "Really?" "Granny, I'll go." "Would that be alright, Yoshiaki-san?" "Sundry Fortune-Telling Store WELCOME TO ONMYOUYA Final" "[Get Out, Onmyouya!" "]" "Good evening, Sawazaki Shunta-kun, right?" "That's me" "Do you know of the rumor that there's a werefox around here?" "Who knows?" "That fox is you, I heard." "What are you talking about?" "How could it be I thought, but it actually is, isn't it" "Welcome home" "Kimchi hotpot with ramen as the finish!" "What's wrong?" "Shun-chan" "Uh nothing" "I'll go wash my hands." "Yummy!" "Not the time to eat potato." "Eh, what?" "Hey what!" "Wait up..." "Eh?" "So that means Shunta is" "Onmyouya-san's cousin?" "My grandmother is already suspecting Fox-kun." "If his true form is found out, he will have to succeed the Abe family." "Hmm?" "But the successor is Onmyouya-san?" "You know right, that he's a youkou." "Abe no Seimei's mother was a youkou named Kuzunoha." "For that reason, the Abe family for generations are people who have inherited a part of youkou's blood." "That blood is the most important thing in selecting a successor." "So, don't tell me Onmyouya-san is a werefox too?" "I'm not." "That's why if the fact that he is a youkou is found out, my grandmother must make him into the head of the family at any cost." "Since she stakes her life in the prosperity and survival of the Abe family." "Is Abe family that great?" "Yes." "The Bureau of Onmyou was abolished in the 3rd year of the Meiji Era (1870)," "Onmyouji disappeared from the public stage as a figure but, even now the Abe family is connected to the authorities in the political and business world, counsel and prayer, conducting celebratory/ritual things, it has strong power of influence." "Relying on Onmyouji nowadays, really" "The more people have standing above others, the more they rely on that stuff." "It's not just us." "There exist fortune-tellers who only serve the VIPs." "In any case, that happy-go-lucky Fox-kun, if I let him go to my family home by himself, he will for sure give himself away and my grandmother will notice." "So, will you go along with him Sensei?" "Me?" "Wouldn't it be okay if Onmyouya-san go?" "I have left home for so many years, you know." "Besides, why would I go home just for the sake of accompanying my worker, it would be suspicious right." "But, what should I say to go along with him..." "Let's do it like this." "Sensei actually loves history." "In Onmyouya's family home..." "Onmyouya's family home holds a ton of rare literature, I heard," "I was wondering if I could have a look." "Is that so?" "Of course," "I will arrange the books as well." "I received a call from Yoshiaki-san." "Please" "So Onmyouya-san was this rich." "Amazing..." "Pansies!" "So many are blooming!" "My daughter's favorite." "Mmm, smells great." "Does it smell that much?" "You have a good nose, eh." "Aah, great fragrance!" "I smell it too." "Thanks for your hard work." "Have some." "Take a rest." "Yay." "Thank you." "By the way, there are a lof of rare books, huh." "All are valuable things that the Abe family has inherited." "Granny, how many of these has Shoumei read?" "Close to all, I think." "Seriously?" "That's amazing." "Because that child is Abe family's only potential heir that is left, he has had expectations on him since he was little." "To meet those expectations he became desperate, he was always shut in here, reading books." "Wasn't he lonely?" "I wonder" "He was bullied at school, apparently." "That person?" "An Abe family successor was bullied, pitiful huh." "But, maybe that's why he came to understand like the feelings of others who are troubled." "Ooo" "You say interesting things, eh" "By the way, there's something I want to ask you." "What is it?" "Do you know someone named Amemiya Satsuki?" "Eh, Satsuki is..." "Let me have the tea." "I'm sorry!" "What are you doing?" "How really careless of you" "I'll get things to wipe." "I'm sorry!" "What do we do I'm sorry!" "It's totally soaked..." "Listen to me, stuff about Satsuki-san is a secret okay." "Why?" "Just listen to me." "Onmyouya-san forbid us to speak." "Shutting yourself again in this place." "You have it good Yoshiaki." "Not tied down by Abe family traditions." "Excuse me!" "Good afternoon." "Welcome" "Uhm, if I'm not wrong," "Miss said there's a boy in class that you're interested in." "Yes." "Before, Onmyouya-san said he should speak out to me, but he hasn't talked at all..." "Shou, it's bad, it's bad!" "A journalist at Shunta-kun's house..." "Shunta-kun is a werefox?" "A story that ridiculous can't be real." "Don't concoct odd rumors in our shopping street please!" "Yeah!" "Leave now!" "A deserted shopping street leads to this lively scene." "Onmyouya-san." "Who are you?" "I am the proprietor of Onmyouya that is in this shopping street, my name is Abe no Shoumei." "Abe no Shoumei?" "What exactly is this ruckus about?" "In order to write up the continuation of this article," "I was just trying to ask about Shunta-kun." "It's just that, but these people gathered here bustling, what's wrong with this shopping street, seriously." "Ho ho ho" "Well Well" "It's true that ever since I came to this shopping street I've had this inkling, so is that it." "I finally get it." "This shopping street is cursed by a werefox." "What?" "What's up Shou?" "Customer traffic went away, once you notice it, it's a street full of shutters in front of your eyes." "The origin of all that is the curse of a werefox called Shunta-kun." "Curse!" "?" "What the hell are you saying?" "I shall exterminate the werefox and show you." "Ah, right, shall I give you the exclusive right to interview about the ritual?" "The sight of him turning into a werefox form you can clearly see it." "What do you think?" "Are you joking!" "Cut it out!" "Please leave, just please leave!" "Let's go." "Go home!" "Go home!" "Go home now!" "Go home right now!" "Please think about it." "I'll contact you again." "Please" "Why did you say those things?" "Getting on with that hokey journalist." "What was the meaning of that!" "Seriously, what the heck!" "I'm so pissed!" "Please calm down!" "Seriously, what the heck!" "I'm so pissed!" "Please calm down!" "I couldn't possibly betray you all, could I?" "That was a plan to protect Fox-kun." "Plan?" "What plan?" "That kind of journalists is just persistent." "That's why, we have to lay a trap first." "Trap?" "First, I'll call out that journalist saying that I will perform a ritual to exterminate a werefox." "Okay, try and do it if you can!" "And then I, in front of all of you will start chanting arbitrary spells." "Inari mountain, lost fox where people dwell, the fields side..." "Hideyuki" "Now let this rope make you go down..." "Stop it!" "There, Hideyuki will rush in to save Fox-kun, by covering with this cloth." "And then?" "But too late, he would already be a werefox." "All of you who are panicked rush over." "Shunta!" "Shunta-kun!" "Are you okay?" "Shunta-kun!" "Huh?" "However those ears and tail are fake." "All of you who realize that start making a ruckus." "What is this?" "Just a trick wasn't it!" "This fraud Onmyouji!" "Alright, at that point the journalist..." "Do the journalist." "Ok ok ok" "Fake huh, are you kidding me!" "That journalist who is filming the situation secretly will think that he's been fooled by the fraud Onmyouji and leave." "That is the outline." "Oh I see." "This could work." "It will make use of the acting abilities of our shopping street." "This will put your skills to test." "Leave the script to me." "Oh but how will you call out that journalist?" "I'll invite him smartly." "There's no risk for you." "No reason to turn it down either." "Film the situation secretly." "However you use the footage is up to you." "But if it's a success, I will take a suitable compensation fee." "Excuse me" "Yes" "Are you Sawazaki Shunta-kun's mother?" "Yes, I'm sorry, who are you?" "Abe Yoshiaki's grandmother." "My name is Abe Haruyo." "I've looked into various things." "[Abandoned Baby on Ouji Inari Grounds] I've looked into various things." "I've looked into various things." "Shunta-kun is Amemiya Satsuki's child and has youkou blood in his veins, am I wrong?" "As I expected, I was right" "Hmm, you are?" "Satsuki's mother." "Shunta-kun is my grandson." "That kid, same as his grandfather Shuuichirou, has youkou blood in him, is a truly important successor for the Abe family." "He's not someone that should be here." "Please return him" "Someday this day will come," "I've prepared myself." "On the day we made up our mind to raise that kid, I talked with my husband." "If his real family come before us, we should prepare our hearts to send him off with a smile." "If that is the case..." "But, it's not that easy." "When you live together for a long time..." "It's not that easy." "Of course, for raising him up until now" "I thank you most deeply." "While it is presumptuous of me, let me prepare a sufficient form of gratitude." "That's..." "Listen to me, that child is a youkou." "From now on, and forever, do you think you can protect that child just with your family ?" "I will be waiting for a favorable answer." "Welcome!" "Grandmother" "Yoshiaki-san, what exactly is going on?" "I've heard it from Sawazaki-san." "Shunta-kun is Satsuki's child, right?" "Yes, that's right." "What happened to Satsuki?" "Where is she?" "Well, we found the child so" "I don't care whatever happens to Satsuki." "I will take that child home to the Abe family and make him the successor." "You're right" "He is more suitable than me." "However, could you please wait a little longer?" "An odd journalist is snooping around Shunta-kun." "Tomorrow in order to put out that fire with the shopping street people we will perform a fake ritual." "Fake ritual?" "This is an important ritual to protect the head of the Abe family." "Grandmother please attend it too." "How about having some?" "This is shinoda maki (vegetables rolled in aburaage)" "If you'd like" "This is..." "Our shopping street is completely deserted." "Since a long time ago, folks of duty and obligations stay behind, unchangingly." "Our gang now are doing what they can for Shunta's sake." "If you'd please, the ritual tomorrow come and see it?" "You could maybe witness something interesting." "It would be the time soon." "Yeah." "They're late." "They're late eh." "Will they come?" "What happened, they're late." "Late" "Tama-chan, how was it?" "From the shadow of a tree he's pointing it this way." "Alright, like we planned." "What's up?" "Doing catch ball before an important ritual." "It came across my mind." "In 5th grade I was in the same class with you and you invited me to do catch ball." "Did I?" "You were always like that." "Just kept meddling in my business." "At that time, even though I didn't like it, you forcibly taught me judo and catch ball." "But truthfully it made me happy." "What happened Yoshiaki?" "That's why, can you help me out too this time?" "Help?" "I've kept quiet about it all this time but Shunta is my cousin." "My grandmother noticed that." "If things stay like this, that kid is going to succeed the Abe family." "Shunta-kun is..." "But, I want to succeed the Abe family by any means necessary." "Wait a minute." "Since when did you want to inherit the family..." "So I'm going to turn him into a real fox at today's ritual." "What?" "Keep it a secret from everyone else it's a change of plan." "Not a fake werefox but" "I will turn him into a real fox and sell him out to that journalist." "Are you saying this for real?" "Yea, for real." "There's no time, just listen to me..." "Are you kidding me!" "However much you ask me," "I can't betray the shopping street people." "Really" "Please Hideyuki!" "There's no one else I can ask but you." "Everyone, it's bad" "Makihara-san, what happened?" "Yoshiaki is trying to double cross us." "Hey, that guy is watching!" "Shunta-kun is an heir to the Abe family." "Huh?" "In order to make himself the head of the family, he's going to turn Shunta-kun who's in the way into a real fox." "A real fox?" "That's not possible is it..." "I'm serious!" "I found this at Onmyouya." "By making him pass through a rope pasted with talisman written in red ink, one can return a youkou into a real fox, it says." "How can it be, so stupid" "There's no way Shunta-kun would turn into a fox." "Hmm?" "Shoumei isn't here yet?" "Shunta-kun, you can't!" "Shoumei intends to betray us!" "He'll turn you into a real fox." "Makihara-san, it's okay." "Shoumei won't do such a thing." "Shunta-kun..." "Ho ho ho" "Well well" "What's wrong, everyone?" "If we don't proceed like the script, that journalist is going to suspect us." "There's nothing we can do but to go on." "Wait a minute!" "What the heck, fraud Onmyouji!" "Looks like you're doing a weird ritual." "We all came here to expose your lies." "Then in front of you all, let me show an extermination of a werefox." "Okay try and do it if you can." "Fox-kun, this is goodbye." "With the curse power of this marks pasted, liberate from human body, return as soon as possible to the original fox body" "This chant is..." "With the curse power of this marks pasted, liberate from human body, return as soon as possible to the original fox body different from practice." "With the curse power of this marks pasted, liberate from human body, return as soon as possible to the original fox body different from practice." "That's that..." "Shunta-kun, watch out!" "Shunta?" "Please have a look." "This is Sawazaki Shunta's true form." "This is great" "Shunta!" "Shunta!" "Major scoop!" "Shun-chan!" "Shunta!" "Shunta-kun!" "Shunta!" "Tell him memories from when he was a human!" "Hurry!" "He won't be able to return!" "What memories?" "From when he was born!" "Everything!" "You remember Shunta?" "When you were born," "I was the first one to hold you." "At that time, the ears and tails were out, I was shocked but you were so cute." "You're a fox kid so we couldn't take you to the hospital, for a while after you were born, everyone in the shopping street kept an all-night vigil without sleeping." "When you were little when you cry the ears and tail came out immediately, we were all in suspense." "At the school entrance ceremony we gathered at Gen-san's place and celebrated with aburaage, didn't we" "At sports day every year, maybe because you're a fox, you are so fast." "Shunta come back!" "Shunta it's Mom!" "Mom's here!" "Shunta!" "It's not going to work." "Please give up." "Don't mess with me" "What are we going to do..." "Shunta!" "All of you, while knowing that Shunta-kun is actually a werefox you kept it hidden." "What a really creepy shopping street." "Is it for money?" "It's not something a human would do." "Get out of this town." "That was my original intention." "Well it's all good in the end" "Shunta-kun, it's okay now" "Why?" "Makihara-san helped me switch with the fox." "Shunta..." "I was listening" "You all knew and protected me huh" "16 years ago we promised your real mother." "Midori-san if something were happen to me could you raise that child please?" "We will take in this child." "Then we'll give you a helping hand too." "This child's secret, we all will protect it at any cost." "You're raising a child." "It won't be a picnic." "Do you have the determination?" "We didn't do anything" "Just looking over you" "Just being happy watching you grow up." "Thank you" "Granny" "My grandson has really been in your care." "Shunta, listen, your mother is Satsuki." "So..." "It would seem that what I was looking for doesn't exist." "Putting that aside, what a wonderful son." "Being loved by this many people." "On the contrary my grandson, what a really cantankerous man." "Maybe I raised him wrong." "Excuse me." "Did it went well?" "Yes" "Acting all cool" "That was great Makki, you played a big part." "That's right." "Thank you for saving Shunta." "Nah..." "To tell you the truth Yoshiaki outlined all that." "He came and asked me for help." "Please Hideyuki!" "There's no one else I can ask but you." "I will fool everyone and round it all nicely." "What do you mean?" "After that he told me to switch the fox and Shunta-kun." "You all shopping street people know that Shunta-kun is a werefox so you'll definitely buy it." "He said this." ""Don't tell anyone about this." "Make it that you protect him." "And then, making it your own feat, why don't you try hitting on Michiko-sensei," he said." "But there's no way I could do it, right" "Because I'm that guy's one and only friend." "Shunta!" "Shunta..." "Shunta!" "What is this?" "It's fake!" "Woof, a dog?" "Onmyouya-san!" "[Kitsunebi]" "Hey where's Onmyouya-san?" "Dunno" "How was it?" "Our shopping street's bad acting?" "What a farce" "But..." "Satsuki was taken care of at this store, right." "When I got the shinoda maki, I immediately noticed." "That is a taste from Abe family." "She was good at aburaage dishes." "Those were reserved for regular customers only." "I copied that taste." "Our ancestry for generations love aburaage very much." "I taught that kid plenty." "Was that so." "No wonder." "But, she even got a child with some unknown man," "Same as eloping, she left..." "A really unfilial daughter." "Come on in, come upstairs." "My daughter is called Teruko, she got pregnant when she was a student and said she wanted to get married." "I kicked her out of this house." "But a daughter is a daughter all the same," "I couldn't help but worry and worry." "Satsuki made that shinoda maki happily." "She said that it was a taste she learned from her mother." "I'm sure she was thinking of you." "Thank you for taking care of my daughter for all this time." "Onmyouya-san!" "Sensei, what's wrong?" "In such a hurry." "You weren't fair!" "Not saying anything to anybody posing yourself as the bad guy, acting all cool." "Hideyuki talked huh" "He's the type to suffer a loss forever." "Onmyouya-san you fooled everyone from the shopping street to show Haruyo-san their feelings towards Shunta-kun." "By doing that you protected Shunta-kun from both that journalist and Haruyo-san." "I just wanted to be the heir to Abe family." "That's a lie." "Truth is you did not want to succeed the Abe family, did you?" "So you came to this town looking for someone who would replace you and succeed the family, right?" "But looking at Shunta-kun made you decide that you should inherit after all." "That's because you think that Shunta-kun would be happier living in this town, right?" "It doesn't matter does it, whichever." "What happens if you make everything black or white?" "That's right" "I don't really get it but if everyone is happy then that's all right isn't it." "You taught me that." "I'm counting Shunta on you." "I don't want to admit it but that Mr. Idiot is my cousin." "Yes" "Uhm, we'll meet again right?" "It all depends on the stars." "If we're fated to meet, we will meet." "But, you don't believe such things, do you?" "I do." "If it's something that is conveniently good for me." "As I thought I have no chance against Yoshiaki eh." "Makki was pretty cool in Makki's own way." "Take me out to dinner some time." "Welcome home, Yoshiaki-san." "Grandfather, I have just come home." "Allow me succeed as the head of the Abe family." "However, I will not do things like Grandfather did." "Onmyouji making full use of seedy magic and ruling the dark world, that was enough until the Heian era." "However, even now the Abe family is pulling strings on the authorities like puppets, and tries to move the times from the shadows." "I sensed that as problematic." "Yoshiaki-san..." "However having tried being a mere fortune-teller I understand." "That I can save people on the street with the knowledge that I have." "Essentially, what an Onmyouji exterminates are not the enigmatic evil spirits residing in forests, mountains, and rivers, but devils living in the hearts of humans, that is what I think." "I don't possess sorcery or spirit sense." "What I can do is simply listening to people's troubles, and healing tortured hearts a little." "Allow me to walk on this path in my own way." "It couldn't be helped." "Because Satsuki's child was not found." "Shunta, you're our son!" "Yay!" "Turned out great eh" "Mitsui-san" "What?" "After all just like Onmyouya-san said, you spoke out to me." "Mitsui-san" "I've always been curious about Sawazaki-kun." "Uh why?" "Well, Sawazaki-kun is a fox right?" "Amazing!" "Why do you know?" "Everyone knows about that." "Sensei, here here" "The guy running this shop is super hot, like a host I heard." "Really?" "Yes" "You would feel so sweet that all your displeasures fly away." "Ho ho ho" "Well well" "It's fine." "If you're fated to meet, you don't have to search and will definitely meet." "Uhm chocolate banana with ice cream and marron topping (marron: almond) and, 50% more whipped cream." "50% more okay!" "Sensei that's too much topping!" "So good!" "Right?" "Is it gonna catch on?" "Thank you very much" "How may I help you?" "Welcome to Onmyouya"
