| Izumi | Seems like they’ve made the announcement in the school’s gymnasium about the performance starting soon. |
| The guests have also started gathering in front of the shrine. |
| Oohara | R-Right…… |
| Kogawa | We’ll be up soon…. Huuu, I’m so nervous…. |
| Tsuzuru | You’re gonna be fine. We all rehearsed plenty, right? Just remember what we’ve practiced. |
| Izumi | Alright, it’s showtime, everyone! Are we all ready? |
| Everyone | YEAH! |
 |
| |
| Gamadouji | “Hey, that collapsed figure over there…. Is that a human? It’s been ages since I’ve seen one again.” |
| Kuwadouji | “Not just that— there’s two of them! It’s almost like they’re dead, looking at them like this. Say, why don’t we eat them?” |
| Gentarou | “Uu….” |
| Ryuunosuke | “Mm…..” |
| Gamadouji | “...They’re not dead at all.” |
| Kuwadouji | “Bummer. Well? What now?” |
| Gamadouji | “I’d be concerned regardless if we leave them be or not… Let’s take them with us to the village for now.” |
| |
| Gentarou | “Mhmm…. HUH?! Where are we?” |
| Ryuunosuke | “I don’t recognize this place at all…” |
| Kikumaru | “Ooh, looks like you’re both awake. How’re you feeling?” |
| Gentarou | “W-Who are you….?” |
| Kikumaru | “I guess I’m what you’d call the doctor of this village. Call me Kikumaru. Two fellas by the name of Gamadouji and Kuwadouji left you guys to me to look after.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “This village… What exactly is this village?” |
| Kikumaru | “A village inhabited by oni.” |
| Gentarou | “B-By oni?! The whole place?! Th-then you are…!!” |
| Kikumaru | “That’s right. I’m an oni, too.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “That can’t be! There’s no way that’s true!” |
| Kikumaru | “Originally, this village wasn’t supposed to be connected to the place in which you humans reside. Yet, there’s a very rare occasion where humans would find their way here by mistake.” |
| Gentarou | “By mistake… You mean to say….” |
| Ryuunosuke | “W-What are we supposed to do now?” |
| Kikumaru | “Beats me. The two oni who picked you up are working in the onsen bath house nearby. I suggest you wait for them to come back before anything.” |
| |
| Gamadouji | “We’re back. How are the humans doing?” |
| Kuwadouji | “Ah, looks like they’re up and about already!” |
| Gentarou | “You were the ones who saved us, right? You have our thanks.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “U-Uhmm… So you two are also oni, aren’t you?” |
| Kuwadouji | “Well, yeah. This is a village for oni after all.” |
| Gamadouji | “This really isn’t a place for humans to be in. If you two are well enough to move, then it’s of your best interest to hurry and go home to your human realm.” |
| Gentarou | “Of course, we’d very much love to go back home! …Except, we have no idea how.” |
| Gamadouji | “Is that so….” |
| Kikumaru | “Hey, if I remember right… That bath house you two work in? There should be an oni there who had once gotten a human to return to their realm.” |
| “I think he goes by the name of ‘Randouji’.” |
| |
| Randouji | “A way to send back humans to their original realm, you say……” |
| Kuwadouji | “That’s right. Seems like these two lost their way here…” |
| Gamadouji | “We heard from Kikamaru that you may know a method to do exactly that.” |
| Randouji | “Well. Perhaps I do. Perhaps I don’t…. I won’t tell you without a price.” |
| “Price being, let’s say… How about work assistants in this bathhouse, huh? Or maybe you’d prefer I’d take one arm from each of you?” |
| Gentarou | “P–Please let us help out in the bathhouse!!” |
| Ryuunosuke | “We’ll work hard like it’s our last!!” |
| Randouji | “Pfft, very well. Then come back here early tomorrow, humans.” |
| |
| Matsurimaru | “I heard the details from Randouji. We’ll be making you work mercilessly the whole day today!” |
| Gentarou | “So we’re not gonna be assigned to work with Gamadouji and Kuwadouji…” |
| Higanmaru | “Those two are real busy right now. ‘Fter all, they used up the free time they had on their hands to concern themselves with humans.” |
| Matsurimaru | “Now then, it’s time to get working!” |
| Ryuunosuke | “I thought being made to work would be much more preferable than having our arm taken away, but now… Are we gonna be alright…?” |
| Gentarou | “I have doubts, but we’ve got no other choice right now. |
| Higanmaru | “First up is cleaning the baths. Here’s the equipment. Now there’s also a trick to getting the right amount of strength for this——” |
| Ryuunosuke | “This oni… He appears really scary, yet he’s teaching us so politely…” |
| Gentarou | “Maybe we can get through this after all.” |
| |
| Kuwadouji | “Good workin’ everyone!” |
| Gamadouji | “Looks like you two made it through the whole day without worry.” |
| Gentarou | “Yes, thanks to everyone.” |
| Randouji | “So I hear you did a good job. You have my thanks, humans.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “Th-that means….?” |
| Randouji | “I’ll tell you how to get home. This way, follow me.” |
| |
| Kuwadouji | “Huh? This place…” |
| Gamadouji | “This is exactly the same place where we first found Gentarou and Ryuunosuke.” |
| Randouji | “This place has a door that connects the human realm and the oni realm. However, the door only opens for a few seconds within a day.” |
| Gentarou | “And when is that…” |
| Randouji | “It should be around the same time you humans arrived here. In other words, some time prior to when Gamadouji and Kuwadouji found you.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “I–I see…” |
| Kuwadouji | “.....Huh? It opens for a few seconds…Every day?” |
| Gamadouji | “Who knew the gateway was that accessible…” |
| Randouji | “I’ve told you all that I know. Can I get going?” |
| Ryuunosuke | “Ah, y-yes!! Thank you for taking care of us!” |
| Gentarou | “Thank you very much…….!!” |
| |
| Gamadouji | “It’s almost time.” |
| Kuwadouji | “You two take care now!” |
| Gentarou | “You guys as well… Ahh, why does it feel so difficult to say goodbye.” |
| Ryuunosuke | “It was terrifying at first, but we found the oni village to be such a pleasant place.” |
| Gentarou | “Truly. I wish I could stay here for a little while longer.” |
| Gamadouji | “...It’s really better if you don’t. Not to repeat myself, but this place is, by nature, not a place for humans to stay in. |
| Kuwadouji | “You guys may be safe now, but you’ll get eaten one day for sure. We know, being oni ourselves, after all!” |
| Gentarou | “But not all oni are that terrible… We know now because we’ve met oni like you— Gamadouji-san, and Kuwadouji-san. |
| Ryuunosuke | “If I could wish for something, then I’m hoping for the day we can meet again!” |
| Kuwadouji | “Ah— look, the door’s about to open! Hurry and go!” |
| Gentarou | “Thank you again…!!” |
| Ryuunosuke | “We’ll see each other again one day! For sure…!” |
 |
| Gamadouji | “........” |
| Kuwadouji | “....They’re gone. We’ll meet again someday, they said.” |
| Gamadouji | “As for me…..Then I can only hope we don’t meet them again. I wish for it… For their sake.” |
