﻿1
00:00:26,923 --> 00:00:28,508
Dr. Domon, I presume?

2
00:00:33,304 --> 00:00:34,931
Your treatment using soil...

3
00:00:35,807 --> 00:00:39,060
Wasn't it originally taught to you
by someone else?

4
00:00:39,727 --> 00:00:42,355
You... know something about this?

5
00:00:43,481 --> 00:00:44,649
About that person?

6
00:00:45,024 --> 00:00:46,109
<i>That person?</i>

7
00:00:47,485 --> 00:00:49,153
What do you know?

8
00:02:22,497 --> 00:02:26,000
{\an8}NATSUNO

9
00:02:26,834 --> 00:02:28,586
My... dear...

10
00:02:28,795 --> 00:02:30,505
{\an8}DR. DOMON

11
00:02:29,337 --> 00:02:30,213
Yae!

12
00:02:31,130 --> 00:02:32,882
{\an8}YAE

13
00:02:34,008 --> 00:02:36,010
{\an8}NANOKA KIBA OTOYA

14
00:02:36,636 --> 00:02:37,845
You need to lie down.

15
00:02:38,137 --> 00:02:39,639
Everything's okay.

16
00:02:40,765 --> 00:02:41,683
That woman...

17
00:02:42,892 --> 00:02:44,018
She's my wife.

18
00:02:44,394 --> 00:02:46,729
She's been ill for a long time.

19
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,316
<i>His wife? She's very young.</i>

20
00:02:50,817 --> 00:02:54,153
{\an8}MAO

21
00:02:51,067 --> 00:02:52,026
Let me examine her.

22
00:02:52,735 --> 00:02:54,112
I'm an onmyoji.

23
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:01,828
It was about 30 years ago.

24
00:03:03,913 --> 00:03:05,790
At the time...

25
00:03:06,624 --> 00:03:09,293
I was studying to become a doctor.

26
00:03:10,086 --> 00:03:11,546
My wife, Yae,

27
00:03:12,213 --> 00:03:17,260
worked to help pay for my tuition.

28
00:03:18,094 --> 00:03:20,095
There was a particularly
troublesome customer

29
00:03:20,096 --> 00:03:22,056
at the bar where she worked...

30
00:03:22,223 --> 00:03:24,600
He became dangerously obsessed
with her.

31
00:03:25,893 --> 00:03:27,687
<i>Like a stalker?</i>

32
00:03:28,187 --> 00:03:30,606
Mr. Domon...
Something's happened to Yae!

33
00:03:32,608 --> 00:03:34,277
Yae... Yae!

34
00:03:35,611 --> 00:03:38,823
She was ambushed by a customer.

35
00:03:39,866 --> 00:03:42,618
There was nothing I could do...

36
00:03:43,661 --> 00:03:45,663
Then that person appeared.

37
00:03:49,625 --> 00:03:51,043
My deepest sympathies...

38
00:03:52,753 --> 00:03:57,133
They packed Yae's wounds with
what looked like kneaded earth.

39
00:03:58,134 --> 00:03:59,469
Several days later,

40
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:03,347
Yae recovered
as if nothing had happened.

41
00:04:04,182 --> 00:04:06,684
The person said it was Onmyojutsu.

42
00:04:07,727 --> 00:04:10,520
Then they left behind
some Earth medicine,

43
00:04:10,521 --> 00:04:13,774
telling me to apply it
if she ever fell ill.

44
00:04:14,692 --> 00:04:16,318
They also taught me

45
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:18,571
how to choose the right soil
and how to prepare it,

46
00:04:18,738 --> 00:04:21,240
but I could never get it quite right.

47
00:04:21,991 --> 00:04:24,076
So you've been testing
the effects of the soil

48
00:04:24,243 --> 00:04:26,621
you prepared yourself
on your patients?

49
00:04:27,246 --> 00:04:28,206
Yes...

50
00:04:28,247 --> 00:04:32,001
These past few years
Yae hasn't been well.

51
00:04:38,966 --> 00:04:43,054
At first, the soil I used on my patients
would restore their health.

52
00:04:43,304 --> 00:04:45,848
But after a few days,
things would start to go wrong.

53
00:04:46,682 --> 00:04:48,059
<i>This man...</i>

54
00:04:48,768 --> 00:04:51,521
I've heard that many of the patients
you treated

55
00:04:51,604 --> 00:04:54,190
with your Earth medicine
have gone missing.

56
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,110
It's likely they were consumed
by the soil

57
00:04:58,569 --> 00:05:00,279
and disappeared without a trace.

58
00:05:00,988 --> 00:05:02,490
What you've done is unforgivable.

59
00:05:03,282 --> 00:05:04,951
Who taught you such a spell?

60
00:05:06,452 --> 00:05:08,287
Oh, don't be so rigid.

61
00:05:08,621 --> 00:05:10,414
He was trying to save
the woman he loved,

62
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:12,708
so he had no choice... right?

63
00:05:13,584 --> 00:05:17,588
Mao, you were always so inflexible.

64
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:20,550
<i>A woman?!</i>

65
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,388
{\an8}NATSUNO

66
00:05:27,056 --> 00:05:30,893
You scattered these butterfly talismans,
didn't you, Mao?

67
00:05:31,269 --> 00:05:32,395
<i>They know each other?</i>

68
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:33,771
It's...

69
00:05:34,063 --> 00:05:35,773
y-you.

70
00:05:37,483 --> 00:05:40,820
You're the one who gave me
the Earth medicine back then...

71
00:05:41,612 --> 00:05:44,282
Please... I need more medicine...

72
00:05:44,699 --> 00:05:46,784
My wife is not well...

73
00:05:46,993 --> 00:05:48,119
I beg you!

74
00:05:48,744 --> 00:05:50,496
All right. Let me examine her.

75
00:06:00,631 --> 00:06:01,632
Ah...

76
00:06:01,883 --> 00:06:03,259
I see...

77
00:06:03,676 --> 00:06:04,886
She's dead.

78
00:06:05,428 --> 00:06:06,387
Yae!

79
00:06:07,054 --> 00:06:08,806
She has been, for several years.

80
00:06:09,432 --> 00:06:10,516
What?

81
00:06:10,892 --> 00:06:11,976
<i>Just as I thought.</i>

82
00:06:13,352 --> 00:06:15,897
Yae... This can't be...

83
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:17,315
Yae!

84
00:06:20,151 --> 00:06:22,570
She kept going for your sake...

85
00:06:24,071 --> 00:06:25,031
How devoted...

86
00:06:36,626 --> 00:06:37,585
Yae...

87
00:06:38,502 --> 00:06:39,462
Yae...

88
00:06:39,795 --> 00:06:40,880
Yae...

89
00:06:41,047 --> 00:06:43,299
Yae! Yae!

90
00:06:44,383 --> 00:06:46,260
Yaeee!

91
00:06:51,599 --> 00:06:53,184
Shall we go, Mao?

92
00:06:54,143 --> 00:06:56,562
There's nothing more we can do here.

93
00:07:02,234 --> 00:07:03,277
Natsuno.

94
00:07:10,451 --> 00:07:13,788
<i>So she's also from the Goko Clan?</i>

95
00:07:15,873 --> 00:07:17,333
Why did you do such a thing?

96
00:07:19,460 --> 00:07:21,253
You mean about her head?

97
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:24,674
Why did you give him Earth medicine?

98
00:07:25,341 --> 00:07:26,300
I told you, didn't I?

99
00:07:26,801 --> 00:07:30,554
I was moved by his abiding love
for his wife.

100
00:07:31,389 --> 00:07:32,306
But because of that,

101
00:07:32,682 --> 00:07:35,184
he used an imperfect medicine
on his patients

102
00:07:35,559 --> 00:07:36,936
and committed even more crimes.

103
00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:46,404
What's going to happen
to Dr. Domon now?

104
00:07:47,571 --> 00:07:50,533
He touched the soil used
on his wife's neck...

105
00:07:51,158 --> 00:07:52,743
So he'll probably be joining her.

106
00:07:54,328 --> 00:07:55,579
Dr. Domon...

107
00:07:56,372 --> 00:07:58,624
I have a stomach ache.

108
00:08:00,042 --> 00:08:01,252
Dr. Domon?

109
00:08:02,461 --> 00:08:04,130
Nobody home?

110
00:08:11,887 --> 00:08:13,347
Mao, come here.

111
00:08:14,181 --> 00:08:16,559
{\an8}DAIGO

112
00:08:14,473 --> 00:08:16,308
You're about to see an incredible spell.

113
00:08:17,059 --> 00:08:18,018
Daigo.

114
00:08:18,853 --> 00:08:20,438
Your leg's broken, isn't it?

115
00:08:21,772 --> 00:08:22,940
Poor thing...

116
00:08:24,442 --> 00:08:26,026
Let me put some medicine on it.

117
00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:40,875
Okay... Try to stand up.

118
00:08:50,134 --> 00:08:51,218
Amazing.

119
00:08:52,928 --> 00:08:56,307
Natsuno's Earth medicine
can heal any injury.

120
00:08:56,807 --> 00:08:58,601
Natsuno...

121
00:08:59,351 --> 00:09:00,311
So you're Mao?

122
00:09:00,936 --> 00:09:02,855
Daigo's little brother, so to speak...

123
00:09:05,316 --> 00:09:07,735
Your spell is truly remarkable.

124
00:09:08,319 --> 00:09:10,821
Master's always getting
on my case, though.

125
00:09:11,530 --> 00:09:15,367
He keeps telling me not to make
just medicine, but poison too.

126
00:09:15,910 --> 00:09:17,578
I don't care what he says though.

127
00:09:18,329 --> 00:09:21,582
If you keep talking like that,
he'll chew you out again.

128
00:09:22,583 --> 00:09:27,505
<i>The Earth sorcerers were among
the most talented in the Goko Clan.</i>

129
00:09:28,547 --> 00:09:31,717
<i>Among them,
Daigo and Natsuno were...</i>

130
00:09:33,344 --> 00:09:34,428
Natsuno...

131
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,890
You were summoned to
the Goshikido, weren't you?

132
00:09:39,308 --> 00:09:41,852
Yes, I was summoned.

133
00:09:44,271 --> 00:09:46,315
Did you think Daigo was chosen?

134
00:09:47,608 --> 00:09:50,861
If he had focused on his training,

135
00:09:51,362 --> 00:09:53,656
he would have surpassed me.

136
00:09:56,826 --> 00:09:59,078
So you knew as well, Natsuno?

137
00:10:02,498 --> 00:10:03,499
Wait...

138
00:10:04,834 --> 00:10:06,127
Don't leave yet.

139
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:09,380
<i>Lady Sana...</i>

140
00:10:24,228 --> 00:10:27,231
Daigo, your eyes have
the most mysterious color...

141
00:10:28,649 --> 00:10:29,608
They're beautiful.

142
00:10:31,694 --> 00:10:32,862
Lady Sana...

143
00:10:35,614 --> 00:10:37,908
<i>Lady Sana was in love with...</i>

144
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,745
The two of them met in secret,

145
00:10:42,121 --> 00:10:45,749
but a few people in the compound knew.

146
00:10:47,042 --> 00:10:50,087
If any of the apprentices who were
jealous of Daigo's abilities found out...

147
00:10:50,129 --> 00:10:52,715
and it reached the Master's ears...

148
00:10:51,088 --> 00:10:53,674
{\an8}MASTER OF THE GOKO CLAN

149
00:10:53,924 --> 00:10:55,885
Mao, back then...

150
00:10:56,177 --> 00:10:58,345
Weren't you also in love
with Lady Sana?

151
00:11:01,056 --> 00:11:04,018
Don't tell me it was you
who told the Master?

152
00:11:04,518 --> 00:11:06,103
H-He would never do that!

153
00:11:06,145 --> 00:11:09,565
Daigo was an important person
in my life.

154
00:11:11,442 --> 00:11:13,110
If nothing had happened...

155
00:11:14,111 --> 00:11:16,697
and Daigo and Lady Sana
had been able to be together,

156
00:11:17,364 --> 00:11:20,326
nothing would have made me happier.

157
00:11:22,328 --> 00:11:24,538
Yeah, that sounds like you.

158
00:11:25,164 --> 00:11:26,415
I'll believe you.

159
00:11:26,999 --> 00:11:28,626
Well, I'll be on my way now.

160
00:11:31,295 --> 00:11:32,254
So...

161
00:11:32,421 --> 00:11:35,674
If Natsuno was summoned
to the Goshikido,

162
00:11:35,883 --> 00:11:37,301
then what happened to Daigo?

163
00:11:38,636 --> 00:11:41,388
I told you that after being
summoned to the Goshikido,

164
00:11:41,931 --> 00:11:44,475
the most talented senior apprentices

165
00:11:44,516 --> 00:11:47,645
started dying under
mysterious circumstances, right?

166
00:11:48,229 --> 00:11:49,104
Yes.

167
00:11:49,688 --> 00:11:52,233
The very first victim...

168
00:11:53,734 --> 00:11:55,069
was Daigo.

169
00:11:55,527 --> 00:11:56,695
What?!

170
00:11:57,863 --> 00:12:00,908
<i>If you are to inherit
all of the secret scrolls...</i>

171
00:12:01,700 --> 00:12:04,620
<i>Mao, that means
you will become my husband.</i>

172
00:12:05,871 --> 00:12:09,208
{\an8}HAIMARU SANA

173
00:12:06,455 --> 00:12:09,583
<i>I will obey my father's wishes.</i>

174
00:12:10,501 --> 00:12:12,711
<i>But Lady Sana was in love with...</i>

175
00:12:14,088 --> 00:12:15,047
<i>Daigo.</i>

176
00:12:17,633 --> 00:12:19,093
<i>Why Mao?</i>

177
00:12:19,134 --> 00:12:21,345
<i>Just some orphan from
the home for foundlings...</i>

178
00:12:21,387 --> 00:12:22,763
<i>He's not worthy.</i>

179
00:12:23,305 --> 00:12:25,516
No matter what the other
senior apprentices said to me,

180
00:12:25,557 --> 00:12:26,433
I could endure it.

181
00:12:27,685 --> 00:12:31,563
But what does Daigo think of me?

182
00:12:33,148 --> 00:12:36,735
We grew up together
at the home for foundlings.

183
00:12:37,444 --> 00:12:40,990
Then he fulfilled his dream
of joining the Goko Clan.

184
00:12:42,074 --> 00:12:44,034
And it was through his recommendation

185
00:12:44,243 --> 00:12:46,161
that I was brought to the Goko Clan.

186
00:12:47,663 --> 00:12:50,749
And yet,
I was chosen over Daigo...

187
00:12:52,209 --> 00:12:53,836
Ah, Mao...

188
00:12:54,628 --> 00:12:56,630
I should never have brought you here.

189
00:12:57,214 --> 00:12:58,465
I regret it.

190
00:13:00,217 --> 00:13:01,260
<i>I knew it.</i>

191
00:13:02,636 --> 00:13:03,637
Daigo...

192
00:13:04,305 --> 00:13:07,558
I'm thinking of leaving the Goko Clan.

193
00:13:10,311 --> 00:13:11,312
I'm sorry.

194
00:13:11,854 --> 00:13:12,813
Huh?

195
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,523
I once told you...

196
00:13:14,773 --> 00:13:18,902
the Goko Clan was like paradise.

197
00:13:21,947 --> 00:13:22,990
It's the opposite...

198
00:13:23,615 --> 00:13:24,658
This place is...

199
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:29,455
The next morning, Daigo was...

200
00:13:30,331 --> 00:13:32,374
found dead in the courtyard
of the compound.

201
00:13:34,251 --> 00:13:36,503
There are signs the ground
was dug up at his feet.

202
00:13:36,962 --> 00:13:38,756
Was a cursed object buried here?

203
00:13:39,506 --> 00:13:41,175
He unknowingly stepped on it...

204
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:42,885
And was cursed to death.

205
00:13:46,930 --> 00:13:47,931
Daigo!

206
00:13:50,309 --> 00:13:51,310
Daigo!

207
00:13:55,439 --> 00:13:56,398
Why?!

208
00:13:58,275 --> 00:14:00,360
{\an8}KAMON MASAGO

209
00:14:00,569 --> 00:14:02,863
{\an8}HAKUBI

210
00:14:05,657 --> 00:14:06,575
<i>Hyakka?</i>

211
00:14:07,868 --> 00:14:09,536
I never knew...

212
00:14:10,287 --> 00:14:12,623
that after I was chosen
as the successor,

213
00:14:12,748 --> 00:14:16,376
several of the senior apprentices
had been summoned to the Goshikido.

214
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,631
Curse Mao, the sacrifice, to death.

215
00:14:20,923 --> 00:14:25,469
Whoever survives in the end
shall be the true successor.

216
00:14:36,939 --> 00:14:38,023
<i>Lady Sana...</i>

217
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:41,860
I'd never seen that look
on her face before.

218
00:14:42,694 --> 00:14:46,073
And beginning with Daigo's death...

219
00:14:48,033 --> 00:14:53,080
the top senior apprentices
of each of the Five Elements

220
00:14:53,497 --> 00:14:55,999
began dying one after another
under mysterious circumstances.

221
00:14:58,293 --> 00:15:03,173
So if Natsuno was summoned
to the Goshikido, that would mean...

222
00:15:03,423 --> 00:15:06,051
Yes. Looking back now,

223
00:15:06,718 --> 00:15:09,763
Daigo was probably killed by a curse
meant for someone else.

224
00:15:11,306 --> 00:15:13,475
<i>By someone who was summoned
to the Goshikido...</i>

225
00:15:14,601 --> 00:15:15,727
<i>I see...</i>

226
00:15:16,311 --> 00:15:18,438
<i>That's just so unfair.</i>

227
00:15:19,898 --> 00:15:22,693
Um, did you try to comfort Lady Sana...

228
00:15:24,278 --> 00:15:26,947
or cry together with her?

229
00:15:28,282 --> 00:15:29,324
I couldn't...

230
00:15:30,450 --> 00:15:31,493
do anything for her.

231
00:15:34,329 --> 00:15:35,372
That's heartbreaking.

232
00:15:36,665 --> 00:15:38,000
It was a long time ago.

233
00:15:39,168 --> 00:15:43,088
But... you still have feelings
for Lady Sana, don't you?

234
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,594
That's why you're so fixated
on that woman, Yurako, isn't it?

235
00:15:53,515 --> 00:15:55,142
<i>I don't know what to think anymore.</i>

236
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:58,478
<i>How could someone so kind and pure...</i>

237
00:15:59,438 --> 00:16:01,231
<i>spew black curses from her mouth...</i>

238
00:16:02,357 --> 00:16:04,651
<i>And the man that she loved,
was even cursed to death.</i>

239
00:16:05,861 --> 00:16:07,446
<i>Sana is dead.</i>

240
00:16:08,155 --> 00:16:10,199
<i>Her heart was torn from her chest.</i>

241
00:16:11,033 --> 00:16:14,828
<i>But she appeared before Mao
looking exactly the same...</i>

242
00:16:15,412 --> 00:16:17,080
<i>Out of my way!</i>

243
00:16:17,998 --> 00:16:20,626
<i>At first, I just couldn't
connect the two.</i>

244
00:16:21,293 --> 00:16:22,169
Nanoka.

245
00:16:23,545 --> 00:16:25,172
I just want to know...

246
00:16:26,131 --> 00:16:27,633
why Lady Sana is still alive...

247
00:16:28,634 --> 00:16:30,802
and how she became a pawn for Shiranui?

248
00:16:31,929 --> 00:16:32,971
Is that all?

249
00:16:34,264 --> 00:16:36,850
If there's any way to save her,
I want to.

250
00:16:38,227 --> 00:16:39,645
And then what?

251
00:16:41,438 --> 00:16:44,233
Do you want to be with her
or something?

252
00:16:44,691 --> 00:16:45,651
Huh?

253
00:16:45,734 --> 00:16:48,528
What on earth are you talking about?

254
00:16:58,747 --> 00:17:00,832
The current's changed?

255
00:17:01,208 --> 00:17:04,336
Yeah. All of a sudden,
we can't catch any fish.

256
00:17:04,836 --> 00:17:05,963
All we're getting is...

257
00:17:06,338 --> 00:17:08,548
Dammit! It's happened again!

258
00:17:08,715 --> 00:17:11,301
It's tangled in the net!

259
00:17:26,108 --> 00:17:28,652
<i>He's at the bottom of the sea now?</i>

260
00:17:29,278 --> 00:17:30,529
<i>You've got to be kidding me.</i>

261
00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:36,285
Did you find Shiranui's shrine,
Master Kamon?

262
00:17:36,952 --> 00:17:40,497
I did. But with it down there,
there's not much we can do.

263
00:17:41,582 --> 00:17:45,544
Lady Sana hasn't shown up
at the salons since then, either.

264
00:17:46,795 --> 00:17:50,799
Looks like Shiranui's gone back
to hiding in his shrine.

265
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,969
What is that, Master Kamon?

266
00:17:52,009 --> 00:17:54,886
{\an8}BENIKO

267
00:17:54,428 --> 00:17:55,387
This?

268
00:17:55,846 --> 00:17:58,098
It was tangled in the net.

269
00:17:59,182 --> 00:18:02,185
It's hair that came floating up
from the shrine.

270
00:18:03,645 --> 00:18:07,190
What's that bastard Shiranui
plotting now?

271
00:18:08,066 --> 00:18:11,778
Do you intend to kill Shiranui,
Master Kamon?

272
00:18:12,904 --> 00:18:14,323
That depends.

273
00:18:16,241 --> 00:18:20,162
But first, there are a lot of things
I want to ask him.

274
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:27,002
He's waiting for you here.

275
00:18:28,378 --> 00:18:30,255
What a magnificent home...

276
00:18:33,550 --> 00:18:35,469
This is as far as I will take you.

277
00:18:39,139 --> 00:18:41,767
Oh my!
You must be Mr. Kuchinawa's guest!

278
00:18:42,684 --> 00:18:44,561
His friend is so handsome, too!

279
00:18:44,978 --> 00:18:46,063
You're here, Mao.

280
00:18:46,772 --> 00:18:49,650
Oh... You brought Nanoka with you.

281
00:18:50,651 --> 00:18:52,361
His name is Mr. Mao?

282
00:18:52,486 --> 00:18:54,528
- Master Kamon...
- Is he younger than Mr. Kuchinawa?

283
00:18:54,529 --> 00:18:56,531
So you're freeloading
at this house now?

284
00:18:57,199 --> 00:18:58,742
You make it sound so bad.

285
00:18:59,368 --> 00:19:02,371
I got rid of the spirit possessing
the young lady of the house,

286
00:19:02,412 --> 00:19:03,622
and they insisted I stay.

287
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:06,833
Okay, but why are you
dressed like that?

288
00:19:07,376 --> 00:19:12,506
Kamon, I heard from Beniko
that you found Shiranui's shrine.

289
00:19:13,006 --> 00:19:15,258
Yeah. At the bottom of the sea.

290
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:17,052
The bottom of the sea...

291
00:19:17,719 --> 00:19:20,305
Well, it's too dangerous
to go down there.

292
00:19:21,014 --> 00:19:22,015
But I found this...

293
00:19:25,602 --> 00:19:26,978
That's hair, isn't it?

294
00:19:27,312 --> 00:19:28,563
Eww...

295
00:19:28,939 --> 00:19:30,148
Mao, get ready.

296
00:19:30,399 --> 00:19:31,274
All right.

297
00:19:33,860 --> 00:19:35,654
We're performing
a spirit-summoning ritual?

298
00:19:36,029 --> 00:19:36,863
Yes.

299
00:19:37,739 --> 00:19:40,826
At first, I figured
it was Shiranui's hair.

300
00:19:41,576 --> 00:19:44,579
But it doesn't have
his sinister aura.

301
00:19:49,751 --> 00:19:53,505
We summon the soul
that dwells within this hair.

302
00:19:54,047 --> 00:19:55,757
Come forth, by sacred decree!

303
00:19:56,508 --> 00:19:57,467
Otoya...

304
00:19:57,801 --> 00:20:00,721
Is the spirit-summoning ritual
like a séance?

305
00:20:01,054 --> 00:20:04,433
Yes... Because the hair itself
serves as the katashiro,

306
00:20:04,808 --> 00:20:07,269
it should be easy to summon
its owner's spirit.

307
00:20:40,927 --> 00:20:41,928
<i>Masago!</i>

308
00:21:02,407 --> 00:21:04,659
Um, was that...

309
00:21:04,951 --> 00:21:05,952
a ghost?

310
00:21:06,661 --> 00:21:09,372
It didn't appear to be
the spirit of a living person...

311
00:21:09,873 --> 00:21:10,832
Right...

312
00:21:12,250 --> 00:21:13,168
Mao...

313
00:21:13,418 --> 00:21:15,337
I told you I wasn't there the night

314
00:21:15,962 --> 00:21:19,174
the compound burned down, didn't I?

315
00:21:20,008 --> 00:21:20,926
Yes.

316
00:21:21,676 --> 00:21:23,178
<i>I don't know anything.</i>

317
00:21:23,845 --> 00:21:26,431
<i>I was outside the compound
on a rendezvous with a woman.</i>

318
00:21:27,224 --> 00:21:29,768
Wait, don't tell me...

319
00:21:30,018 --> 00:21:31,728
The person you were meeting...

320
00:21:32,145 --> 00:21:33,104
was Masago?

321
00:21:33,563 --> 00:21:35,440
Well, that's right.

322
00:21:37,108 --> 00:21:39,694
That night, Masago had asked me
to come out

323
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:41,738
and wait for her at a shack
on Northern Beach.

324
00:21:42,697 --> 00:21:45,325
But Masago never came.

325
00:21:46,910 --> 00:21:49,412
I waited until morning and
when I returned to the compound,

326
00:21:50,038 --> 00:21:51,665
it had burned to the ground...

327
00:21:52,374 --> 00:21:55,085
and both the Master and Lady Sana
had been murdered.

328
00:21:56,294 --> 00:21:59,214
You had already fled by then, Mao.

329
00:22:01,550 --> 00:22:03,009
And from that day on,

330
00:22:03,593 --> 00:22:05,595
Masago disappeared without a trace.

331
00:22:05,971 --> 00:22:06,972
Why?

332
00:22:07,848 --> 00:22:11,268
Masago wanted to get away
from the Goko Clan.

333
00:22:11,893 --> 00:22:12,811
Yes.

334
00:22:13,812 --> 00:22:15,397
<i>Get out while you can.</i>

335
00:22:15,981 --> 00:22:18,483
<i>This is a cruel place.</i>

336
00:22:19,234 --> 00:22:20,777
After the downfall of the Goko Clan...

337
00:22:21,069 --> 00:22:23,613
I thought maybe Masago
had managed to escape somewhere.

338
00:22:24,656 --> 00:22:27,951
But if she'd been summoned
to the Goshikido,

339
00:22:28,702 --> 00:22:30,787
I figured I'd run
into her again someday.

340
00:22:31,997 --> 00:22:34,040
And if she hadn't...

341
00:22:34,666 --> 00:22:36,793
then I just hoped she'd escaped

342
00:22:37,377 --> 00:22:40,297
to live an ordinary life and
lived out her natural lifespan.

343
00:22:40,714 --> 00:22:41,798
That was all I wished for.

344
00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:44,050
<i>Oh my...!</i>

345
00:22:44,467 --> 00:22:47,095
<i>Kamon doesn't look it,
but he's a real romantic.</i>

346
00:22:48,096 --> 00:22:51,724
If Masago's hair came
from Shiranui's shrine,

347
00:22:51,725 --> 00:22:53,143
that would mean...

348
00:22:54,519 --> 00:22:55,478
Yeah.

349
00:22:56,104 --> 00:23:00,066
We need to squeeze
the truth out of Shiranui.

350
00:23:01,568 --> 00:23:05,697
Master Shiranui, the hair has
broken through the barrier.

351
00:23:06,489 --> 00:23:08,783
It's possible that moving
the shrine from Kyoto...

352
00:23:09,159 --> 00:23:11,494
has compromised the barrier.

353
00:23:12,037 --> 00:23:14,456
{\an8}SHIRANUI

354
00:23:13,204 --> 00:23:14,289
Truly...

355
00:23:15,665 --> 00:23:17,709
there's nothing more terrifying...

356
00:23:18,126 --> 00:23:20,378
than a woman's tenacity.

357
00:23:21,588 --> 00:23:24,591
Isn't that right, Masago?

358
00:24:57,976 --> 00:24:59,436
{\an8}NEXT TIME

359
00:24:58,351 --> 00:24:59,936
Natsuno?

360
00:25:00,186 --> 00:25:01,438
Why are you here?

361
00:25:01,521 --> 00:25:02,397
Mao...

362
00:25:02,605 --> 00:25:05,567
I never expected you to come to me.

363
00:25:05,859 --> 00:25:07,777
You're tagging along with Kamon today?

364
00:25:07,986 --> 00:25:11,072
So, you know why we've come, Shiranui.

365
00:25:11,406 --> 00:25:14,159
What did you do to Masago?

366
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,038
Well, it's about time you died.

367
00:25:18,288 --> 00:25:20,331
Those who were summoned
to the Goshikido

368
00:25:20,749 --> 00:25:22,792
can wound and kill one another.

369
00:25:23,418 --> 00:25:26,004
Next time: The Undersea Shrine
