WEBVTT

00:26.130 --> 00:27.632
You'll be fine, Nanoka.

00:27.924 --> 00:29.217
I will be at your side.

00:29.842 --> 00:30.718
Promise?!

00:33.513 --> 00:35.598
No!!

00:35.682 --> 00:37.058
I can't do it!! I'm scared!

00:37.141 --> 00:39.561
They're gross!

00:40.937 --> 00:41.854
Nanoka.

00:42.355 --> 00:44.357
You can do it.
Try it again.

00:47.193 --> 00:49.737
No!

00:50.738 --> 00:52.991
NANOKA KIBA MAO

00:51.155 --> 00:52.156
Keep your eyes on him.

00:52.407 --> 00:54.367
Focus your energy and
aim for the tanden.

00:55.034 --> 00:56.119
Thrust!

01:02.208 --> 01:03.626
He turned back into a human.

01:04.127 --> 01:06.004
<i>Water? Where's it going?!</i>

01:06.296 --> 01:07.171
Mao!

01:08.047 --> 01:09.340
Okay, another one.

01:09.549 --> 01:10.383
Okay!

01:14.387 --> 01:16.472
That's it, Nanoka.
Keep going like that.

01:16.723 --> 01:19.058
Got it!
Mao, stay by my side, okay?

01:19.267 --> 01:20.351
Don't leave me!

01:21.352 --> 01:22.895
Where'd he go?!

01:27.650 --> 01:29.402
<i>The water he coughed up
is running away.</i>

01:30.320 --> 01:31.237
<i>Where is it going?</i>

01:37.493 --> 01:39.996
It's them! Those shikigami are
the source of all this!

01:38.077 --> 01:39.996
HYAKKA

01:41.539 --> 01:42.498
They're getting away!

01:56.387 --> 01:58.014
Huh?! They didn't change back!

01:58.514 --> 02:00.016
Why?! So creepy!

02:00.350 --> 02:02.101
Okay... that's enough.

02:03.061 --> 02:04.645
What's up with that girl?

02:04.812 --> 02:07.482
OTOYA

02:05.313 --> 02:07.648
Miss Nanoka is actually
a pretty good fighter.

02:10.693 --> 02:12.904
Eww!
What're you doing?

02:13.154 --> 02:14.489
Thanks to you,

02:14.864 --> 02:16.866
the shikigami coughed out
its cursed talisman.

02:20.411 --> 02:21.329
What's it say?

02:22.497 --> 02:26.834
I bet it's an order to hunt us down
and kill us, right?

02:28.586 --> 02:29.504
Can I see?

02:29.796 --> 02:31.255
"If Mao is alive,

02:31.631 --> 02:33.799
capture him alive
and bring him to me."

02:33.800 --> 02:34.801
That's what it says.

02:34.884 --> 02:36.177
What? Only Mao?

02:36.219 --> 02:37.220
What about me?!

02:37.261 --> 02:39.263
It's a good thing they didn't want you.

02:39.764 --> 02:41.849
You're not suited to
fighting Water spells.

02:41.891 --> 02:43.059
D-Damn!

02:44.894 --> 02:45.812
<i>Who could it be?</i>

02:46.813 --> 02:48.064
Otoya. A brush.

02:48.189 --> 02:49.148
Yes.

02:52.276 --> 02:53.236
Mao?

02:56.155 --> 02:57.031
Swallow this.

02:59.367 --> 03:00.827
Return to your master.

03:01.035 --> 03:01.994
H-Hey!

03:06.207 --> 03:07.750
So you're just letting them go?

03:07.917 --> 03:10.002
Even if we destroy the shikigami here,

03:10.211 --> 03:12.171
I have a feeling more
will simply keep coming.

03:13.047 --> 03:14.257
We can't continue with this.

03:15.133 --> 03:16.050
What is this place?

03:16.134 --> 03:17.885
My lower belly hurts...

03:18.636 --> 03:20.012
That's why...

03:21.097 --> 03:22.724
I've set a trap.

04:56.776 --> 04:59.946
TAIZANFUKUN

05:01.239 --> 05:03.115
Before the big earthquake
happened,

05:03.282 --> 05:05.076
the Byoki was hiding in this hole.

05:05.743 --> 05:06.994
Those shikigami...

05:07.245 --> 05:09.872
were ordered to capture me alive.

05:11.040 --> 05:12.250
Not to kill me.

05:13.209 --> 05:15.336
It means that
someone wants to see you.

05:15.461 --> 05:16.671
But that was...

05:16.796 --> 05:18.631
a pretty rough invitation.

05:19.131 --> 05:21.801
It doesn't seem like they wanted
to have a peaceful chat.

05:22.260 --> 05:25.137
Whoever controls those shikigami
wasn't targeting me,

05:25.388 --> 05:26.681
but most likely the Byoki.

05:26.764 --> 05:27.640
What?

05:27.682 --> 05:28.933
More specifically,

05:29.809 --> 05:32.979
they're after a spell from the secret
scrolls that the Byoki devoured.

05:31.435 --> 05:33.271
BYOKI

05:33.563 --> 05:36.649
The secret spell of Taizanfukun?

05:37.191 --> 05:39.068
Taiza... what?

05:39.569 --> 05:41.571
A spell for manipulating
human lifespans.

05:42.154 --> 05:44.031
The ultimate secret art of Onmyodo.

05:45.074 --> 05:47.243
That is Taizanfukun.

05:47.869 --> 05:50.288
Oh... so that's what it's called?

05:50.413 --> 05:54.542
Hyakka, you believed I was working
with the Byoki, didn't you?

05:54.834 --> 05:55.751
Right.

05:55.918 --> 05:57.211
And I haven't forgotten!

05:57.628 --> 05:58.713
He completely forgot.

05:59.171 --> 06:00.756
And he came to us for help.

06:01.215 --> 06:04.886
It means others are thinking
the same thing.

06:05.678 --> 06:07.346
Including whoever is behind this attack.

06:08.139 --> 06:10.433
That is why we're luring them to us.

06:10.766 --> 06:12.852
I get it, so this is a trap...

06:13.811 --> 06:16.981
That's why you fed the shikigami
a new command?

06:17.899 --> 06:18.858
That's right.

06:18.983 --> 06:20.443
What did you write?

06:20.943 --> 06:24.030
"We found Mao,
but he resisted capture.

06:24.363 --> 06:27.074
The most we could do was
confine him to a single location.

06:27.992 --> 06:30.620
Master, we need you
to go there yourself."

06:32.914 --> 06:33.789
Huh?

06:34.123 --> 06:35.166
What's the matter?

06:35.416 --> 06:36.667
What is that?

06:49.680 --> 06:50.640
Was that a whale?!

06:50.681 --> 06:53.267
No... it looked way stranger!

06:55.019 --> 06:57.355
How're you feeling today, Nanoka?

06:58.105 --> 07:00.191
Here are the notes from
the classes you missed.

07:00.358 --> 07:03.110
HARUKA HITOMI YUI NAKAGAWA

07:00.524 --> 07:02.026
I took notes for you, just in case.

07:02.276 --> 07:04.236
Thank you! That's so helpful!

07:04.612 --> 07:06.947
Good thing we're an integrated
middle and high school.

07:07.156 --> 07:08.574
No entrance exams to study for.

07:08.949 --> 07:10.785
<i>They're all so sweet!</i>

07:11.202 --> 07:13.537
By the way, Nanoka,
that part is going to be on the test.

07:11.285 --> 07:13.579
SHIRAHA

07:13.704 --> 07:15.956
TAISHO DEMOCRACY

07:13.913 --> 07:15.581
The Taisho period shows us...

07:16.248 --> 07:18.292
<i>Compared to them, Mao is so...</i>

07:19.460 --> 07:22.755
It'll take a few days before
the shikigami's master gets here.

07:23.214 --> 07:24.924
I don't mind you going back home,

07:25.341 --> 07:27.677
but I want you to come back here
as soon as you can.

07:28.094 --> 07:29.637
Are you...

07:29.887 --> 07:32.682
telling me to fight alongside you?

07:33.307 --> 07:36.268
Of course.
You need to gain experience.

07:37.311 --> 07:39.480
<i>That guy has absolutely
no intention</i>

07:39.689 --> 07:43.150
<i>of protecting a frail girl like me.</i>

07:45.444 --> 07:47.279
<i>That kinda hurts my feelings...</i>

07:48.155 --> 07:50.700
<i>That settles it.
I'll take some time off for a few days.</i>

07:53.160 --> 07:54.161
<i>Oh, I know...</i>

07:54.453 --> 07:57.665
<i>I'll have Shiraha look up that
Taizan something or other spell...</i>

07:57.790 --> 07:59.500
<i>that Mao was talking about!</i>

08:02.461 --> 08:04.296
So what's the story about

08:04.755 --> 08:06.173
that girl Nanoka ?

08:06.757 --> 08:08.134
It's hard to explain...

08:09.093 --> 08:12.638
She's like me.
We were both cursed by the Byoki.

08:13.305 --> 08:14.724
Cursed, huh?

08:15.141 --> 08:17.225
The Byoki possesses
human bodies as vessels,

08:17.226 --> 08:18.519
moving from one host to another.

08:18.936 --> 08:23.065
Nanoka is being targeted
as its new vessel after me.

08:23.858 --> 08:27.319
The Byoki escaped to Nanoka's world.

08:28.195 --> 08:30.865
That is why I want
to teach her how to fight...

08:31.157 --> 08:33.325
so she can protect herself
even when she's alone.

08:33.826 --> 08:34.910
Hmm...

08:34.952 --> 08:36.162
I don't really get it...

08:36.495 --> 08:37.538
You don't?

08:38.289 --> 08:41.333
Will this do for a katashiro,
Master Mao?

08:43.002 --> 08:43.919
Mmhm.

08:55.598 --> 08:56.766
Oh...

08:56.807 --> 08:58.893
I'm setting up a decoy in my place.

08:59.602 --> 09:03.147
This hole is still charged with
the Byoki's yokai energy.

09:03.898 --> 09:04.899
I see.

09:05.399 --> 09:08.861
And when the enemy comes
and peers into the hole...

09:09.111 --> 09:11.196
Yes, once we confirm who they are
and determine

09:11.197 --> 09:12.698
if they have evil intentions...

09:13.032 --> 09:15.910
we'll use your dynamite
to cave the hole in

09:16.452 --> 09:18.704
and trap them underground
for the time being.

09:19.997 --> 09:22.541
I can't wait to see
who shows up.

09:24.251 --> 09:26.754
<i>I can think of
several senior apprentices</i>

09:26.962 --> 09:28.631
<i>who can cast Water spells.</i>

09:31.258 --> 09:34.178
<i>But was there anyone who would
resort to such aggressive tactics?</i>

09:37.389 --> 09:38.474
Looks like they're here.

09:38.808 --> 09:39.683
Wasn't it a bit soon?

09:39.975 --> 09:40.893
Let's take cover.

09:56.200 --> 09:57.409
What is that sound?

10:02.248 --> 10:03.124
What is that?

10:03.415 --> 10:04.291
Good question.

10:30.776 --> 10:31.861
Is that...?

10:31.902 --> 10:32.987
Who the hell is that?

10:37.408 --> 10:39.118
<i>It's filled with fish.</i>

10:44.707 --> 10:45.791
Master Mao...

10:47.126 --> 10:48.586
<i>It knows my name?!</i>

10:50.129 --> 10:53.591
Hey Mao! You have an idea
of who's controlling that monster?

10:58.762 --> 10:59.722
Master Mao...

11:02.308 --> 11:04.894
MOKUZU

11:02.308 --> 11:05.686
You could have told me to get the water...

11:06.395 --> 11:07.271
Mokuzu...

11:09.148 --> 11:10.482
Master Mao...

11:10.816 --> 11:12.193
All I ask for is one spell...

11:12.526 --> 11:13.444
Pardon?

11:13.694 --> 11:16.447
Won't you teach me just one spell?

11:16.906 --> 11:18.407
We've already discussed this.

11:19.325 --> 11:22.203
I'm in no position to teach you,

11:22.745 --> 11:25.915
and the Master has
strictly forbidden it.

11:28.083 --> 11:30.502
I thought that if I served in
an onmyoji compound,

11:30.711 --> 11:33.505
I might learn at least one spell.

11:34.256 --> 11:37.009
Do you want to become
an onmyoji, Mokuzu?

11:37.760 --> 11:40.679
Well, of course.
It's something I've always dreamed of.

11:42.348 --> 11:44.516
Don't you think
the resemblance is striking?

11:45.226 --> 11:47.144
Mokuzu, the servant?

11:47.895 --> 11:49.647
Ahh, yeah.

11:49.772 --> 11:52.691
That guy used to beg me
to teach him spells too.

11:53.067 --> 11:54.151
Not that I ever did.

11:54.777 --> 11:57.029
Mokuzu wasn't a sorcerer.

11:58.489 --> 12:00.491
<i>Did someone teach him those spells?</i>

12:01.408 --> 12:02.493
Master Mao...

12:12.962 --> 12:15.422
Whatever the case,
this thing isn't human.

12:15.631 --> 12:16.548
Let's do this!

12:16.966 --> 12:17.800
Ignite!

12:25.933 --> 12:27.893
Just as it was looking down
into the hole,

12:28.018 --> 12:29.770
the dynamite exploded...

12:30.521 --> 12:32.481
Everything seems to be going
according to plan.

12:32.648 --> 12:33.732
Hmm...

12:34.066 --> 12:35.234
Exactly as planned!

12:45.869 --> 12:47.496
It's turning into a giant fish pond.

12:54.211 --> 12:55.337
Master Mao...

12:56.297 --> 12:57.673
Please teach me...

12:58.424 --> 13:00.759
The secret spell of Taizanfukun ...

13:01.218 --> 13:03.345
<i>So that was his objective,
just as I suspected.</i>

13:04.054 --> 13:05.014
<i>But...</i>

13:05.723 --> 13:07.308
Are you Mokuzu?

13:08.267 --> 13:10.144
The secret spell of Taizanfukun...

13:10.519 --> 13:13.314
was known only to a select few
at the compound.

13:14.189 --> 13:15.316
Why do you know about it?

13:16.108 --> 13:20.988
Secret spells are passed on
to the rightful successor.

13:21.488 --> 13:22.489
Huh?

13:22.531 --> 13:24.575
Who the hell is the rightful successor?

13:25.034 --> 13:27.328
Master Mao, you ought to know...

13:27.870 --> 13:30.456
After all, you did become one
with the Byoki.

13:32.082 --> 13:35.336
The only reason you're still alive now,

13:35.586 --> 13:38.130
is because the Byoki's power
sustains you.

13:38.630 --> 13:39.715
So please...

13:40.591 --> 13:42.551
For my sake...

13:43.927 --> 13:45.554
What the hell is this guy talking about?

13:47.931 --> 13:49.892
The one who transformed

13:50.517 --> 13:53.062
Lady Sana's cat, Haimaru,
into the Byoki was...

13:54.354 --> 13:56.398
me, Mokuzu!

14:02.613 --> 14:03.906
Run, Otoya!

14:29.765 --> 14:30.933
<i>Hyakka...!</i>

14:31.809 --> 14:34.269
<i>We're inside Mokuzu's body?</i>

14:35.270 --> 14:36.480
Master Mao...

14:36.563 --> 14:38.357
I shall take you to Kyoto.

14:45.697 --> 14:46.657
Master Mao!

14:49.493 --> 14:50.536
<i>I can't breathe...</i>

14:52.579 --> 14:53.497
Mao...

14:53.872 --> 14:56.625
HAIMARU LADY SANA

14:53.956 --> 14:56.708
I think it's best if you stay away
from Mokuzu.

14:57.292 --> 14:58.335
Lady Sana...

14:58.877 --> 15:00.295
Has he done something wrong?

15:01.046 --> 15:02.548
For some time now,
Mokuzu has been

15:02.714 --> 15:07.469
pestering various apprentices
to teach him onmyo spells.

15:08.137 --> 15:10.264
But ever since you were chosen
as the successor,

15:10.889 --> 15:12.808
he's been behaving strangely...

15:16.270 --> 15:17.396
I would often notice him...

15:17.646 --> 15:19.106
staring at me.

15:19.606 --> 15:20.607
Staring at you?

15:21.233 --> 15:22.609
I can't quite describe it,

15:23.318 --> 15:24.778
but his eyes were...

15:26.530 --> 15:27.489
It was...

15:27.906 --> 15:28.782
as though...

15:30.159 --> 15:32.619
someone else was watching me.

15:36.456 --> 15:38.750
<i>Someone is pulling Mokuzu's strings...</i>

15:42.838 --> 15:45.090
No one has ever escaped...

15:45.299 --> 15:48.051
after being trapped inside my body.

16:01.648 --> 16:04.693
That's... Mokuzu...

16:08.488 --> 16:11.909
It would be pointless if you die here.

16:12.409 --> 16:15.162
While you sleep in
the belly of the shark,

16:15.370 --> 16:17.080
I will take you to Kyoto.

16:28.258 --> 16:29.218
What?!

16:59.331 --> 17:00.207
Master Mao...

17:03.543 --> 17:04.503
Mokuzu...

17:04.878 --> 17:06.630
Who taught you these spells?

17:07.589 --> 17:08.507
Master Hyakka...

17:10.467 --> 17:11.343
Otoya...

17:11.551 --> 17:12.594
How's Hyakka?

17:12.928 --> 17:13.929
He drowned...

17:14.221 --> 17:15.305
and he's dead.

17:15.889 --> 17:18.183
I'm the one they're after,

17:19.101 --> 17:20.811
and yet I dragged him into this.

17:21.561 --> 17:22.688
Master Mao...

17:22.980 --> 17:26.024
You haven't changed.
You were always a kind person.

17:26.566 --> 17:29.069
There's no need for you
to blame yourself.

17:29.361 --> 17:31.363
If others get involved,

17:31.488 --> 17:34.575
I was ordered to kill them,
as well.

17:35.367 --> 17:36.451
Others...?!

17:37.703 --> 17:40.581
<i>Does he mean the senior apprentices
who were summoned to the Goshikido?!</i>

17:43.875 --> 17:45.127
So I was collateral damage?!

17:46.003 --> 17:47.671
<i>He came back to life again...</i>

17:48.547 --> 17:50.674
Damn! I thought I was going to die.

17:50.924 --> 17:52.718
No, you were actually dead.

17:53.093 --> 17:54.094
Mokuzu...

17:54.469 --> 17:56.638
You mentioned that you were the one...

17:56.930 --> 17:59.391
who turned Lady Sana's cat,
Haimaru, into the Byoki.

18:00.017 --> 18:01.810
Was that someone else's order too?!

18:02.311 --> 18:03.186
Yes.

18:03.395 --> 18:06.023
I asked the apprentices at
the compound to teach me spells,

18:06.106 --> 18:07.858
but all of them turned me down.

18:08.275 --> 18:11.028
Except that person...

18:12.988 --> 18:14.615
You'll teach me?

18:14.823 --> 18:16.116
Thank you very much!

18:17.284 --> 18:18.702
Yes, of course!

18:18.869 --> 18:20.078
If you teach me...

18:20.245 --> 18:21.413
I will do anything you ask!

18:23.373 --> 18:25.917
I did as I was told.

18:26.251 --> 18:28.503
I secretly took Haimaru away...

18:28.879 --> 18:32.758
and tossed him into the kodoku pit
that had been dug there.

18:41.892 --> 18:44.311
The pit was filled with
venomous insects,

18:44.436 --> 18:47.981
snakes, wild dogs and boar, but...

18:48.857 --> 18:51.026
Haimaru killed and devoured them all.

18:51.401 --> 18:54.029
That's how he became
the deadliest kodoku...

18:55.697 --> 18:57.491
The Byoki.

19:00.160 --> 19:01.328
For what purpose?

19:01.703 --> 19:02.788
So that's it...

19:02.954 --> 19:04.915
Someone is using the Byoki

19:05.165 --> 19:07.459
to curse us to death.

19:08.585 --> 19:10.003
Mao?! Your eyes...

19:10.379 --> 19:12.005
I will explain later, Hyakka.

19:12.714 --> 19:14.508
But then, the Byoki

19:14.675 --> 19:17.052
devoured the secret scrolls
of Taizanfukun...

19:18.053 --> 19:20.639
and became one with you, Master Mao.

19:21.890 --> 19:22.891
When that happened,

19:22.933 --> 19:26.645
I worried that I would not
be taught any spells,

19:26.895 --> 19:28.021
but as you can see...

19:28.438 --> 19:31.108
I have become a fine onmyoji.

19:32.818 --> 19:34.361
<i>No, Mokuzu.</i>

19:35.028 --> 19:36.238
<i>You're already...</i>

19:47.624 --> 19:49.459
It appears he was dead
from the beginning.

19:50.210 --> 19:52.796
Mokuzu had no ulterior motives...

19:53.380 --> 19:55.882
He was simply a man obsessed
with learning spells.

19:56.508 --> 19:59.594
So someone took advantage of that
and turned him into a pawn.

19:59.970 --> 20:01.471
Yes. Most likely.

20:02.764 --> 20:03.640
But...

20:04.474 --> 20:08.645
<i>Haimaru hates being touched
by anyone but me...</i>

20:09.438 --> 20:13.150
<i>Haimaru never took to anyone
besides Lady Sana and me.</i>

20:14.151 --> 20:16.027
<i>So why would Haimaru go along quietly</i>

20:16.236 --> 20:17.612
<i>instead of running away?</i>

20:19.614 --> 20:20.907
<i>Something doesn't add up.</i>

20:24.578 --> 20:25.704
I found it in one try.

20:25.871 --> 20:26.747
Taizanfukun.

20:27.080 --> 20:27.956
What?!

20:28.039 --> 20:29.916
This is what you're looking for,
right, Nanoka?

20:30.500 --> 20:32.210
Taizanfukun...

20:32.961 --> 20:33.837
Wow...

20:35.088 --> 20:37.090
<i>A spell for manipulating
human lifespans.</i>

20:37.716 --> 20:39.676
<i>The ultimate secret art of Onmyodo.</i>

20:40.594 --> 20:42.012
<i>The way he said it,</i>

20:42.179 --> 20:45.140
<i>I thought it would be
a secret shrouded in mystery.</i>

20:45.682 --> 20:48.602
Since you asked me to look into it,
I summarized the main points.

20:49.352 --> 20:51.229
Shiraha, you're the best!

20:53.273 --> 20:55.942
To begin with,
Taizan is a sacred mountain in China.

20:56.526 --> 21:00.864
Taizanfukun is a Taoist deity
that predates even Jugondo.

21:01.948 --> 21:06.453
It's said that Taizanfukun governs
human lifespans and souls.

21:06.870 --> 21:09.122
Governs human lifespans?

21:09.456 --> 21:12.250
In Japan, Taizanfukun was
especially revered within Onmyodo,

21:12.834 --> 21:16.588
and the Taizanfukun Rite was
one of its central rituals.

21:17.255 --> 21:19.757
It was a secret rite performed
only within the Imperial Court,

21:19.758 --> 21:21.510
reserved exclusively for the nobility.

21:22.177 --> 21:24.471
Okay, so...
According to this source...

21:25.222 --> 21:27.139
There is only a single
recorded instance that

21:27.140 --> 21:29.935
the secret technique of Taizanfukun
was actually used.

21:30.769 --> 21:33.355
When a high priest fell gravely ill,

21:33.814 --> 21:37.024
his grief-stricken disciples
tried every prayer they could,

21:37.025 --> 21:38.068
but he didn't recover.

21:39.236 --> 21:41.695
So, they summoned Abe no Seimei,

21:41.696 --> 21:43.406
the leading master
of Onmyodo at the time.

21:43.490 --> 21:44.699
Abe no Seimei?!

21:45.033 --> 21:46.409
So he's real?

21:46.535 --> 21:47.994
He actually existed.

21:48.370 --> 21:49.246
Oh...

21:49.329 --> 21:51.665
I only know him as
a character in games and stuff.

21:52.666 --> 21:54.583
In preparation for
the Taizanfukun Rite,

21:54.584 --> 21:58.838
Seimei asked if any disciple
would offer their own life

21:58.839 --> 22:00.257
in exchange for their master's.

22:01.299 --> 22:02.759
While others hesitated,

22:03.051 --> 22:04.678
one monk stepped forward.

22:06.388 --> 22:09.474
Seimei wrote the monk's name
onto a prayer text

22:09.599 --> 22:11.142
that was dedicated to Taizanfukun,

22:11.226 --> 22:12.477
and offered it in the rite.

22:13.019 --> 22:16.231
Then suddenly,
the master's illness began to improve.

22:16.606 --> 22:19.150
Did the monk who offered his life die—

22:19.276 --> 22:21.069
No, he didn't.

22:21.319 --> 22:22.237
Huh?

22:22.612 --> 22:25.198
Both the master and the disciple
lived long lives.

22:25.574 --> 22:26.575
I wonder why?

22:27.033 --> 22:29.451
Perhaps Taizanfukun, the deity himself,

22:29.452 --> 22:32.497
took pity on the monk who
offered up his life for his master...

22:32.581 --> 22:34.082
and spared him.

22:34.499 --> 22:35.375
I see...

22:35.750 --> 22:39.337
The monk was praised,
and later rose to prominence.

22:40.005 --> 22:42.340
It kind of has a happy ending.

22:42.674 --> 22:43.592
Yeah.

22:43.717 --> 22:46.386
Halfway through, it starts sounding
like a Buddhist sermon.

22:46.928 --> 22:52.058
TAIZANFUKUN

22:47.095 --> 22:50.098
So Taizanfukun is
a life-substitution spell,

22:50.223 --> 22:51.766
and exchanges one life for another.

22:53.059 --> 22:55.687
It seems to require
another person's life.

22:57.355 --> 22:59.691
<i>The Byoki manipulates human lifespans...</i>

22:59.941 --> 23:01.610
<i>Using someone else's life?</i>

23:01.735 --> 23:02.569
Please eat, Nanoka.

23:05.488 --> 23:06.781
With all that's happened,

23:07.157 --> 23:09.618
it's a good thing
Miss Nanoka wasn't here.

23:10.619 --> 23:11.620
Yes...

24:47.298 --> 24:48.842
Oh, Mr. Kuchinawa...

24:48.925 --> 24:51.011
Will you be leaving us already?

24:51.594 --> 24:52.470
Yes.

24:53.388 --> 24:54.431
Thank you for the stay.

24:56.975 --> 24:58.560
Things never slow down, do they?

24:58.643 --> 25:00.687
And here I am in Kyoto
for the first time in ages...

25:01.896 --> 25:03.606
Beniko, did you find anything?

25:05.442 --> 25:08.111
KAMON BENIKO

25:06.568 --> 25:08.069
Yes, I did, Master Kamon.

25:08.862 --> 25:10.739
There's a daughter of
an aristocratic family...

25:11.364 --> 25:12.907
An aristocrat's daughter...

25:13.450 --> 25:14.451
Very good.

25:15.660 --> 25:18.830
She was critically ill, but
the family called a spiritual healer.

25:19.372 --> 25:21.249
She is completely recovered now.

25:23.334 --> 25:25.628
Next time: Blood Bond
