"W-Who are you?" "Have you forgotten?" "Are you Japanese?" "We met at the Kyokai." "At the Kyokai?" "That was you?" "I thought you were Keiki." "Take the Kaikyaku." "There is somebody who needs your help." "So it was me all along..." "Why didn't you come find me sooner?" "No, it doesn't matter..." "Because it was me all along!" "I am the chosen one!" "Are you okay now?" "Asano..." "Nakajima." "I'm going on alone from here on." "I-I'm sorry, Sugimoto." "I was just..." "You're sorry?" "I should be apologizing to you." "I'm sorry, I got you involved in my story." "Your story?" "What do you mean?" "We should stick together." "Besides, the language..." "Don't you see, we're being attacked by Youma because of you!" "Hey, Yuka!" "W-What am I supposed to do?" "Asano!" "Where is Sugimoto?" "I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me." "A-Are you okay?" "Don't worry, let her be." "But she didn't have to say those things..." "I'm sorry, Youko." "A-Asano..." "H-Hey..." "Are you traveling alone?" "Uh-huh." "Oh my, poor thing..." "Is it true that a new ruler has been crowned?" "That's right, I heard that Sir Keiki has returned too." "Finally we can go back to the kingdom of Kei." "I wonder what kind of person the new ruler is..." "Boy, run!" "Kid!" "Are you all right?" "Y-Yeah..." "I don't get it." "The ruler is on the throne, why are there still so many Youma?" "Look over there!" "It's soldiers!" "Soldiers are here!" "We're saved..." "There's nothing to worry about now." "What is that?" "What a strange tree!" "I wonder if I can eat this thing..." "Damn it, I can't pluck it!" "No way!" "A little kid like you isn't going to be much of a guard!" "I just need some food and a place to stay." "Youma and beasts won't come down to the village, we don't need a guard!" "Uh..." "No luck, huh?" "Hey, let's ask them to let us stay there." "If we stay with them, it should be safe at night." "They have food, too, what do you say?" "No!" "They're refugees from some country called Kei, right?" "They aren't much different from us." "I'm starving, I can't move anymore!" "We aren't like them not at all!" "Hey, Youko..." "If we stayed with the people down there, we'd be safe!" "Haven't you had enough?" "They'll turn us in." "But if we're starving like this..." "Hey, do you see that white tree around?" "I don't know..." "Youma didn't attack us when we were under the tree." "I'll go find it." "Why won't you look?" "The illusions you show me..." "They are all lies." "But you miss it, don't you?" "I know you can't resist it." "Youko was a model student." "Seems like she had a great home life as well." "She was getting along with other students..." "Teachers liked her, too..." "But I think all of this is too good to be true." "If she was such a perfect student, her classmates wouldn't have liked her." "If she was so popular with her friends she couldn't have been such a good girl at home." "She was a good girl to everybody." "Because she wanted to fulfill people's expectations she was ignoring herself." "If she discovered herself she'd probably feel depressed, it would be no wonder if she ran off." "No!" "What are you saying?" "Youko was kidnapped!" "She was a good girl, she wouldn't..." "I have to go home." "And tell her that it's not true." "What's not true?" "That's true, isn't it?" "You don't have a home to go back to." "You're dead to them." "Take your sword and kill Asano." "You don't believe anybody, right?" "Asano is probably thinking right now..." "I was bored with Yuka anyway." "If I'm with Youko, she'll fight our way out, besides she can speak their language, it's convenient." "Convenient?" "Asano thinks of me like that?" "Kill Asano." "And go on the road and rob people for money and food." "You know how people survive in this world, what's holding you back?" "I gave up." "I couldn't find the white tree or anything to eat..." "Please get him!" "He was here again." "That guy..." "That guy knows about me..." "Youko, what the hell are you talking about?" "You think we can eat it?" "I'm starving, I don't want to die like this!" "I don't care if it's raw..." "Damn it!" "What are we going to do?" "I'm so hungry I'm going crazy!" "We could go on the road and rob people..." "W-Would you do that?" "Well, we've got no choice." "All you have to do is threaten them with the sword." "It's not like we're going to hurt them, you know." "Hey, hurry up." "This was your idea, remember?" "There's no other choice." "If we don't survive here, we can't go back to Japan." "You want to go back so much?" "Of course." "What's there for you?" "What?" "Mom, somebody's there!" "Hey, Youko!" "You are the lady from the other day are you a boy?" "You're the candy vendor..." "You're hungry, aren't you?" "If you'd like, you could have lunch with us." "Come on, let's eat lunch together!" "Youko, what are they saying?" "H-Hey..." "Wait." "Please leave us alone!" "Or do you have somewhere you'd like to take us?" "Wait up, Youko." "Hey!" "Why did you say no?" "We could at least eat their food and run." "What are you saying?" "We could've been caught." "Youko, you're acting just like Yuka." "I wonder how Yuka's doing." "I'm sure she's in a worse situation than we are." "I'm kind of glad that you came along, Asano." "Actually I wanted to go with Yuka." "Because I really like Yuka..." "But she told me not to, and she looked serious." "She said she'd kill me if I went along..." "I see..." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that." "I like you too, Youko." "Asano!" "T-Taiho..." "You, and you over there." "And you you..." "And you, too." "You will fight for Queen Kei." "Hey..." "What?" "You won't be any use." "Why are we fighting?" "If the new ruler has been crowned, what are we fighting for?" "There are rebels in Kinpa Palace, and they are resisting the new ruler." "Rebels?" "After Lady Jyoei became the queen of Kei conspirators in the palace hatched a plan to keep her out." "I see..." "Has she really been ordained?" "What are you saying?" "Look!" "It's the Taiho!" "The Taiho's with the Queen!" "The Kirin has chosen Lady Jyoei to be the queen, that is the proof!" "You will fight for our Lady Jyoei!" "Taiho, there is no mistake, that is Keiki." "Hankyo and Jyuusaku are also with him." "I see..." "And, what are his Shirei saying?" "That he has been enchanted." "They put a spell on his horn and took his voice." "A real ruler wouldn't have to hold him captive..." "I knew it, so she isn't the..." "Also, Jyuusaku says that..." "Keiki?" "What are you doing?" "You sent them to attack me, didn't you?" "Tell me." "Why are you doing this, Keiki!" "Her name is Kourin." "Sugimoto..." "Thank God, you are all right." "But why you are here?" "Who is she?" "Listen, Asano is in trouble!" "We have to help him!" "I didn't..." "I didn't belong to the world I was in." "I belong to this world." "I was invited to this world and met the King." "And I was given power and a mission." "You must've read something like this in a book..." "A monster appears in a town, and drives people to despair." "What?" "In this world you are the monster!" "Do it!" "Kill her!" "Please stop it!" "Do you not wish to save this world?" "No, Jyouyuu!" "You have brought chaos to this world." "Youma are everywhere and people are in distress in this country..." "It's all your fault, Kaikyaku!" "But I didn't do anything!" "Your being here is a disaster!" "You saw the fields the Shoku had ruined, didn't you?" "You have a Hinman too?" "I may be from Japan, but I'm not a Kaikyaku!" "I am a chosen warrior!" "If I kill you, I can remain in this world!" "The King has promised me!" "Stop it!" "We're friends, aren't we?" "Friends?" "You aren't my friend!" "Some friend..." "You only talked to me when nobody was around!" "You just wanted everybody to think that you were a good girl!" "You are a dirty hypocrite!" "I've hated you the whole time!" "So it would be a relief to kill you!" "Stop it." "That's enough." "What are you doing?" "Kill her!" "Finish her!" "She cannot use a sword anymore." "Leave her there, she will be eaten by wild beasts." "We are done." "Let us go." "Do it!" "Finish her!" "Kill her!" "Save the world!" "Asano..." "Am I going to die in a place like this?" "That's right, you're going to die." "Go away." "Sugimoto is smart." "She knew that she had to kill you to survive." "Maybe the chosen one was Sugimoto after all..." "You were just an extra." "Shut up!" "There is nothing you can do here." "I'm not like Sugimoto..." "I have a place to go back to." "I can't believe she ran away on her own..." "Maybe she was just acting like a good girl." "She's been deceiving us." "Perhaps we were being lied to the whole time." "I thought she was such a good girl..." "No, that's not true." "What's not true?" "You can't trust anybody." "Nobody understands you." "You just pretend to be a good friend and a good daughter..." "Why didn't you kill Sugimoto?" "Because she is my friend..." "That's a lie!" "A lie!" "Wherever you go, you'll always be the same!" "Go away!" "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." "There stands a strange beast." "He appears in the shape of a mouse." "Youko just stares at the strange mouse." "The Twelve Kingdoms, Episode 6..."
