"With the Youi." "When a Youi appears, it always involves a person's emotions." "If so, if we killed that person, would that Youi disappear?" "Rank and poverty and prejudice are also created by man." "If so, would those also disappear if we killed man?" "Is our duty to commit murder?" "A heart that desires a place that is not here..." "I cannot pass judgment on that." "All I can do is defeat the Youi." "Wait." "Such willful behavior will not be tolerated!" "Well, I suppose we'll just give it a try." "Somewhere else, a golden land in a place that is not here..." "I am going as well." "Good grief..." "Genbatsu, you're coming too?" "Coming from one who has killed another man, his words carry weight." "I do not wish to have unpleasant dreams either." "You people..." "Where are our weapons?" "Please leave this girl to me." "It will be over quickly." "Thus, bringing an end to this commotion." "Are you certain of this?" "Your father is..." "I accepted the adoption, knowing full well who my father is." "I am grateful to all of you." "However," "I will not allow you to get in their way!" "I admire your resolve." "However, if things should go awry..." "I am prepared to see the Barbarian Knowledge Enforcement shut down." "As far as you are concerned, Lord of Kai," "I understand that you were against its establishment from the start." "Your wish will come true then." "I will dance once again." "He will be drawn to the dance." "Your dance was originally offered to a god, after all." "The Youi are somewhat like gods." "That's an awful thing to say." "This time, I won't fail to draw out the Ayagami from him." "If I can find his true form..." "Would a foreign god have Ayagami in him?" "All things have names, and the powers that they signify." "Yuki, it can't be done." "That may be so." "You've ended up recalling some unnecessary things." "You should've just forgotten for good the fact that you'd killed me." "Because then, I would've thought nothing of sacrificing that girl?" "Am I wrong?" "It seems the drug is wearing off." "Where's Quetzalcoatl?" "You want to see him?" "Here he comes." "Quetzal!" "Quetzal is angry." "He can't be stopped!" "Was the questioning by Lord Torii and his men so harsh?" "It's my fault!" "Good!" "Show me your Ayagami!" "There isn't just one Ayagami!" "Y u ki" ""Yuki"?" "No, that name was given to you after you came to this country." "Who are you really?" "Is there no Ayagami in him?" "It's become obscured." "Obscured?" "What do you mean?" "Please find my Ayagami." "What?" "I have a feeling that I might be able to do something." "Come, Yuki." "I can't." "What is the matter?" "Every Youi I drew Ayagami out of vanished." "Yukiatsu." "Aren't you misunderstanding something here?" "I'm no Shichiji, you know." "You killed Shichiji." "Unable to bear that reality, you used the power of the Other World." "You created the being that I am now." "I'm the Kumoshichi in you." "Hey, don't do this!" "Atl!" "I won't let you people bring down Quetzalcoatl!" "Quetzal and I are going back to his land together!" "No such land exists." "In the legends, Quetzalcoatl was banished to some other land, then came back, was it?" "No, you are the one who brought Quetzal." "You are the one who created him." "Maybe the real god is somewhere out there, too." "But him, you created him by opening the doorway to the Other World." "Just like I did with Kumoshichi." "I knew..." "I knew it..." "That time..." "Seeing Quetzal raging about..." "That was me." "Though shaped like a man, he is not a man." "As am I." "I am different." "No matter what country I went to..." "That's why I wanted to destroy it all." "And go somewhere else!" "You are an alien being..." "That's right." "You said so yourself." "No." "Each and every person is different." "But..." "That's what makes us plain, ordinary people." "Both me, and you." "I don't want that..." "When I killed Shichiji, I said..." ""I don't want to die."" "That's the caliber of person I am." "Just because I went to some other world and came back..." "That doesn't make me especially different." "Nor you." "I toyed with Quetzalcoatl..." "Toyed with a god!" "I created that monster!" "All people do wrong." "He does too." "Everyone does." "But even so, we all have to keep living again tomorrow." "Atone for your wrongdoings and be done, draw the curtain." "Stuff like that happens in plays, but not in this world." "You're trying to escape to the Other World because you don't like that." "But that's dishonest!" "After doing some dirty deed, you keep on living again, pretending none of it happened!" "That's what being an adult means." "And we're capable of even dirtier deeds." "I don't want this..." "I don't want to be like you, dealing with your crime like this." "Go on..." "You're going to kill him again?" "!" "Don't do it!" "Cloud" "Why?" "Why?" "Cloud" ""Cloud", is it? "Cloud"?" "Quetzal!" "It is said that the character "cloud"" "Cloud It is said that the character "cloud"" "Cloud" "Cloud reflects the image of a dragon hiding in the clouds." "reflects the image of a dragon hiding in the clouds." "A dragon is a god that governs over heaven and earth." "If Quetzalcoatl is able to incarnate as a dragon instead of an evil serpent..." "It's Kumoshichi." "Kumoshichi means to become one with Quetzalcoatl and rein him in!" "You are fine with that?" "He was a precious friend to you, whom you could see, wasn't he?" "Kumoshichi..." "Kumoshichi!" "Those Ayashi..." "Still, the threat posed by that Youi is gone now." "Do you suppose that Youi went back to the Other World as well?" "You're not going to erase it?" "No." "Though I appreciate you going through the trouble." "If someone ignorant of your circumstances sees it, they will treat you like a vagrant." "No one will believe you, even if you tell them that you are a samurai." "You seem terribly concerned for him." "I... just find it bothersome." "I'll be careful, so I won't be a bother." "Then I'll bring her." "Right, see you there." "I think I will spread my wings as well, since it has been a while." "How disgusting!" "Do as you wish." "But Ryudo, that is nothing more than sentimentality." "Not erasing the proof that you were once a vagrant means that you are unwilling to forget your past, does it not?" "I'm just a vagrant." "I'm not going to forget that, that's all." "Na nkai Eq uestria n Show" "Na nkai Eq uestria n Show I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect you." "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect you." "Since we're practically no better than vagrants, we get hauled in by the authorities whenever they get suspicious of us." "I know." "Ouma!" "Here, a going-away gift." "We won't ask where you're going." "Since it'll be better if we don't know." "We're almost there." "Everyone seems to be in high spirits for some reason." "Is this Yoshiwara such an enjoyable place?" "Yuki!" "Hey!" "I found you!" "I've found you!" "Hey!" "I found you!" "I've found you!" "I heard it all from Oshino!" "Seems like you really did take someone's life long ago!" "If you think you can run, you have another think coming!" "He's not running." "He isn't running away." "He never forgot what he'd done in all this time." "He's been looking straight at his crime." "Isn't that an incredibly painful thing to do?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "I'm sorry, Chief." "But if you keep meddling in my affairs after this, it's going to get scary." "So I'd advise against it." "What was that?" "!" "Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" "!" "Oshino?" "Let's just leave now." "Lodging Fu nayado" "Mom!" "He's your kid?" "Fifteen years is such a long time." "Chief, I'd long forgotten about Shichiji." "When I happened to see Yukiatsu," "I got mad at myself for having forgotten about Shichiji." "Still, a crime is a crime." "I wonder what it feels like..." "Being with the man you killed..." "Being with his ghost all the time..." "Yeah..." "With regards to the Youi, it vanished into the heavens, and the foreign girl who brought it here, has also been dealt with as the Ayashi saw fit." ""Dealt with," is it?" "But that is fine." "Make sure Torii can't use it to his advantage." "Yes, Sir." "Here in Yoshiwara, every last woman paints her face white." "One odd girl in their midst will hardly draw attention." "But apprentice courtesans eventually entertain customers, right?" "She is merely being left in our keeping." "We would not do that to her." "Cherry blossoms?" "Is it that season already?" "The arrangement is that no woman leaves Yoshiwara without permission." "But every year, as you can see, the finest cherry blossoms in all of Edo come here." "Why so many?" "Why, because this is the land of dreams." "The golden land..." "Hey, there's no such thing..." "But it looks like it to me." "No one will come way out here to the outskirts of Asakusa." "Quetzalcoatl..." "I'm glad for you, that you got to go back to the way you were." "It's all thanks to Kumoshichi." "He became one with you and made it so you could stay in this world." "I guess this is all I have now." "Do you suppose so?" "Here." "Over here." "Kumoshichi, is that you?" "It seems we were both flawed beings, and together, it's like we just barely managed to become a dragon." "So, you missed your chance to return to the Other World." "I told you, didn't I?" "I'm a creation of yours." "I'm comfortable here." "I'm not going back to the Other World."
