"Right?" "W-Who are you?" "You can't go home." "No matter how hard you try you can't go home." "Wait!" "How do you know about my father and mother?" "I know..." "I know everything." "These are the masks that people wear in your world." "The masks of friendly classmates..." "The mask of a strict teacher..." "The masks of model parents..." "And this is your mask!" "W-Who are you?" "It's hard to believe Asano would date Sugimoto..." "Could Asano be attracted to a childhood friend like me?" "W-What are you saying?" "I can't take it anymore!" "Those two do nothing but lean on me..." "They always make me fight!" "And still, they say whatever they want!" "No, that's not true!" "I'm not thinking such things..." "She's pretending like we're friends but I know she doesn't care about me." "Miss honor student!" "Everything that happened to us is all Youko's fault." "Is that what they're thinking?" "You have no friends, don't you get it?" "Nobody would care if you died." "We're going to get home!" "The three of us, Sugimoto, Asano and I..." "We're going home!" "Fine, but keep your eye on that woman." "Who are you talking about?" "That woman, Takki." "She may not be a good person like you think she is." "What are you saying?" "She is going to sell you to a brothel." "Stop it!" "She is going to sell you to a brothel." "Stop it, please!" "W-Who are you?" "Before she betrays you kill her first!" "Where have you been, Youko?" "Takki..." "I was worried, I thought you got caught by the officials." "I'm sorry." "Thank God, there you are." "Is something wrong?" "N-No, I'm fine." "I just got a little lost." "This could be trouble." "I wonder what's wrong." "I wonder..." "What did she say?" "It seems that the streets of Kasai are under strict watch." "A redheaded girl like me or a group of two women and a man will be questioned for sure." "So she suggested we split up for a while." "I see." "Well then, you stay here, okay?" "What?" "She's asking you to stay here." "I wouldn't want to leave a girl by herself over there..." "It's just for a little while." "I'll dye your hair before we leave." "Thank you." "They're gone..." "Yuka..." "What's up with her anyway?" "Maybe she's acting all shy because of Youko..." "S-Speak speak more..." "Japanese?" "Please, speak to me..." "{\frx-20\fry4\frz-17.5\cH64626C\3cHB2A8B7\move(208,116,217,-1)}Town of Kasai" "This way." "Over there." "Go on, help yourself." "Thank you very much." "Well, I'll go talk to my mother." "I will take it to your room." "Youko..." "She said she'd take it to the room." "I'll take it myself!" "Sugimoto!" "Well, I'll be right back." "That wasn't nice, Sugimoto." "My knife's in this bag too." "You should be more careful!" "We must get rid of the Kaikyaku immediately." "Save our kingdom." "Setsugo." "Summon a Bafuku." "Aren't you going to eat, Sugimoto?" "We should get out of here." "Why?" "Takki is doing us a favor." "Just hold on a second, I'll go get Takki." "Hey..." "Don't worry, I guarantee it!" "But they are the wanted Kaikyaku, aren't they?" "Not you too, Mother!" "You don't seriously believe the Kaikyaku cause Shoku, do you?" "But still..." "King Kou doesn't like Kaikyaku..." "One of them can even speak our language." "Besides, they're two young girls." "They're also pretty, they can start working right away!" "You don't even have to worry about their family..." "Think of it as a bargain." "Are you sure they'll be okay?" "They said they would work." "I told them this was an inn." "If they think they'll be chambermaids, they must be fools." "Working in a place with green pillars means selling your body." "They should know that." "I'm offering them to you at a bargain price." "What's up with you?" "Can't you talk?" "Don't get so snobby." "Hey lady, come drink with us." "Why don't you pour me some?" "You're a feisty one, aren't you?" "Be careful with that, you don't want to scratch your pretty face." "H-Hey..." "We are not going to work here." "Youko!" "What are you doing?" "You lied to us, didn't you?" "W-What are you talking about?" "What's going on?" "She was going to sell us to this place." "What?" "We already gave a lot of money to your parents!" "You can't change your mind now!" "Sugimoto, run!" "They're running away!" "Somebody, get those girls!" "Catch them!" "Get them!" "The women are running away!" "Get them!" "The women are running away!" "Stop them!" "Stop!" "Hurry up and get them!" "How dare you!" "Takki, I trusted you." "What the..." "It's a Youma!" "It can't be!" "Why is there a Youma in town?" "It's a Bafuku!" "You aren't going anywhere!" "Keiki!" "Keiki?" "Keiki!" "Youko, Yuka!" "Over here!" "So you are a Kaikyaku, too?" "That's right." "It's been quite a while since I spoke Japanese..." "My name is Seizou Matsuyama." "Say, is my Japanese strange to you?" "No, it's fine." "You just have a little accent." "He told me that you two were going to be sold." "Takki often brings girls to that place." "I see..." "So Tokyo still exists..." "Yes." "I was born in Kouchi prefecture, and then lived with my uncle in Kure." "You mean Kure in Hiroshima?" "That's right." "On July 28, there was an air raid and I fell into the sea when I woke up, I was in the Kyokai." "Kyokai?" "Air raid..." "So was it around World War II?" "That's what people call it?" "Japan lost, didn't they?" "Yes, completely!" "Is that so." "Yes..." "How can we go home?" "We can't." "I've tried to find a way back, but..." "That was definitely Keiki back there." "Maybe..." "If it was, then why did he..." "Maybe we're being tested." "Those Youma were after us in the school and in the forest..." "What do you mean?" "What if Keiki was ordering them to..." "But why would he?" "What have I done to deserve this?" "Why do I have to live like this?" "I didn't do anything..." "I was telling him about the anniversary of the end of a war, and he suddenly..." "Only half a month..." "Only half a month more, and the war was over..." "I could've lived a better life if it wasn't for the war..." "But I ended up in a world where I didn't even know the language..." "Be quiet in there, old man!" "Stop spouting that gibberish!" "What did he say?" "He told us to be quiet." "You can understand what he said?" "Um, yes..." "Yeah..." "Only Youko seems to understand their language." "But how?" "There were Chinese people in Kure, but it's not the Chinese they speak here..." "It's not something you can learn overnight!" "But the people at the traveling show also spoke..." "What traveling show?" "But they had masks on and were playing a..." "They're called the Shusei, why do you say "traveling show?"" "But I'm positive they are..." "Who are you?" "You're saying that somehow it was translated for you?" "Why..." "You young people grew up happily after the war, and now you don't have to suffer here either?" "Wait a minute!" "I'm sorry, I know it's not your fault." "I know it's not but I just don't understand." "Who am I?" "Who are you people?" "Stop it!" "I just wanted to use the bathroom!" "Asano!" "Please hold on a second." "Where is Mr. Matsuyama?" "He went to get the officials." "The officials?" "You're the wanted Kaikyaku, aren't you?" "There's a huge reward on your heads!" "Even if we split the reward with that old man, it's still a lot of money." "Reward..." "Let go of Asano." "Now!" "Run!" "Bastard!" "Get them!" "Why..." "Why doesn't she have to suffer, while I..." "Why?" "We are all Kaikyaku..." "He probably got greedy, he couldn't help it." "Anyway, we can't walk around like this." "Look." "They have men's clothes." "Go trade our clothes for them." "Hurry!" "O-Okay..." "Hey, you guys look good!" "I don't think I've seen Youko in pants before." "My dad is very old-fashioned." "He believes that a woman should have class and be obedient." "Really..." "That sounds tough." "Obedient, yeah right!" "If we had run away like I told you back in Kasai, this wouldn't have happened." "But..." "I don't want to be a victim because you just want to look good!" "If it bothers you when someone betrays you, why do you trust them at all?" "Yuka..." "Don't worry about her." "She's just a little stressed." "Asano..." "I'm sorry." "U-Uh..." "I don't like them." "But everybody is wearing them." "A girl shouldn't wear pants." "But I'm going to compete with boys." "I can't beat them wearing a skirt..." "Girls don't have to win against boys!" "But..." "I'm sorry." "Youko, apologize to your father." "Why?" "I didn't do anything wrong." "If Dad saw me now he would be furious." "Asano?" "What are you talking about, silly." "Shh, keep your voice down." "I'm telling you the truth!" "I knew it." "I knew she was dyeing her hair." "An honor student like her is always the one to break down." "She thinks she's a princess because she has strict parents." "She did the homework though, that was a help." "But I've never thought of her and Sugimoto." "Nobody liked either of them, they'll make good friends." "You want to go home?" "Of course, I do." "Nobody is waiting for you." "Shut up!" "Neither your parents or school need you." "Days pass as usual without you." "You're something of a third wheel, can't you see?" "I never caused trouble, I was a good girl!" "Because it was easy!" "If you are a good girl, your parents and teachers will like you..." "You're just playing it safe, aren't you?" "That's not true!" "Idiot!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Hey Youko!" "How lame, pretending to kill herself..." "Keiki?" "Who are you?" "Shadow of the moon reflects over the Sea of Emptiness." "Let's sleep in the soft silver luster for now." "{\3cH000000\cH8A7F78}In my memory, I kept looking for... {\3cH000000\cH8A7F78}...warmth in the lonely rain." "Even if my body dies, I will keep running until I reach the rainbow at the end of the world." "She is a woman with beautiful golden hair." "Youko looked up to her face..." "The face seemed it was about to cry." "The Twelve Kingdoms, Episode 5..."
