| Geppaku | “....” |
| Kou | “You....” |
| Seimei | “So it really was you, Geppaku.” |
| Hisui | “Please flee, Master.” |
| Geppaku | “No. You have no strength left in your body, after all.” |
| Hisui | “But—.” |
| Geppaku | “Stand back.” |
| Hisui | “——.” |
| Kou | “Seimei, you knew he was the culprit?” |
| Seimei | “There aren’t many people capable of controlling such a powerful shikigami.” |
| Geppaku | “Just as I thought. I could never win against you....” |
| Seimei | “Why did you do this?” |
| Geppaku | “I have always loathed this country, where every last person persecuted me as a foreign creature. I studied onmyodo in order to enact my revenge.” |
| “I would have succeeded were it not for you....” |
| Seimei | “Why did you attack the capital?” |
| Geppaku | “The capital is the heart of this country.” |
| Seimei | “If you had not chosen this capital, I would never have made it to you.” |
| Geppaku | “Indeed... I was never able to win against you, even when we studied side by side under our master.” |
| Seimei | “You looked as if you truly enjoyed learning. It couldn’t have been all for revenge.” |
| Geppaku | “Since the day I was born, I never knew of my father; my mother was murdered by bandits.” |
| “This world is hell... After a life of misery, there is nothing left within me but pure hatred and revenge.” |
| “I am no longer human; I am a demon.” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Seimei | “A demon would not save his shikigami.” |
| Geppaku | “——.”. |
| Hisui | “....” |
| Seimei | “When you save a shikigami affected by a counter-curse, you bring the catastrophe upon your own body.” |
| “But you still couldn’t abandon that shikigami, right?” |
| Hisui | “Master....” |
| Geppaku | “I had no intention of saving him. My body simply moved on its own.” |
| Seimei | “That is proof that a human heart remains within you. Let us start over again, Geppaku. Your talent is real.” |
| “Live a righteous life, and atone for your sins. Let us learn onmyodo together once more.” |
| Geppaku | “I am already—gh, agh.” |
| Seimei | “Geppaku!” |
| Kou | “There’s no saving him. The power of the curse has been amplified by the counter-effect. |
| He’s used up all his strength; his body can’t handle it.” |
| Hisui | “Master—!” |
| Geppaku | “...I’m sorry, Hisui. I couldn’t take care of you till the end.” |
| Hisui | “No, no... Thank you for finding me.” |
| Geppaku | “Seimei-dono... I must have chosen the capital because you were here....” |
| Seimei | “Geppaku—.” |
| Geppaku | “....” |
| Seimei | “Why... Did you never tell me anything...?” |
| Izumi | (Seimei’s persona as the perfect hero who battled spirits with a resolute attitude falls apart here.) |
| (His human emotions pour out. You can feel his regret, his unbearable pain in not being able to save his friend....) |
| (From Seimei’s cries, you can imagine the happy days that Geppaku and Seimei spent together.) |
| (This scene really improved thanks to Sakyo-san’s efforts in building Seimei’s character.) |
| Kou | “We still have a job left to do, Seimei.” |
| Seimei | “——.” |
| Kou | “If you leave him alone like this, he’ll eventually lose his will and become a vengeful spirit.” |
| Seimei | “...Kou, put him down.” |
| Kou | “Got it. Don’t think ill of me, all right? This is for your sake.” |
| Hisui | “....” |
| Kou | “You’re not resisting?” |
| Hisui | “I will not leave my Master’s side till the end.” |
| Kou | “I respect your spirit.” |
| Hisui | “——.” |
| Seimei | “....” |
| Kou | “...It’s finally over now.” |
| Izumi | (Hisui’s dignified final moments... You can sense his unwavering loyalty to Geppaku. Even if their interactions are few, you can see how strong their bond is.) |
| (This is something that only Citron-kun and Guy-san, who also had a master-servant relationship, could show.) |
| |
| Seimei | “Tonight’s a crescent moon.” |
| “I was the one who named Geppaku, who said he had no decided name. Because his eyes were the color of the sky when the moon is rising.” |
| “He had the power to become the head of the onmyoji if he so desired.” |
| “I had hoped to submit a nomination to the Onmyoji Bureau for his accomplishments related to this case; nothing would have been more reassuring than working together with him....” |
| “Why did he do such a thing...: |
| Kou | “A sheltered boy probably couldn’t understand the feelings of those who have been through hell.” |
| Seimei | “...You’re right. I didn’t understand a thing about Geppaku. Perhaps I was the only one who thought of him as a friend.” |
| Kou | “...That shikigami’s name was Hisui, wasn’t it?” |
| “At the very least, he must have liked his own name enough to name his shikigami after the color of his jade eyes, too” |
| Seimei | “...—I see. I hope so.” |
| “Haha.” |
| Kou | “Why are you smiling?” |
| Seimei | “I never thought that you would console me. It might snow tomorrow.” |
| Kou | “When you die, I’ll be sure to draw on your face, Master.” |
| Seimei | “Please take a page out of Hisui’s book.” |
| Kou | “That’s why you need to live a long life.” |
| Seimei | “...I guess I will.” |
| Izumi | (Kou’s unspoken kindness and compassion towards Seimei... Seimei, who accepts those feelings.) |
| (There is a definite bond that exists between just them.) |
| (As the light from the fireflies and moon quietly fades away....) |
| |
| Izumi | (What Sakyo-san wanted to show; what Tsuzuru-kun wanted to convey... It came across, Sakyo-san.) |
| |
| Izumi | Nice work on your first day, everyone! |
| Citron | Nice work~! |
| Azuma | Nice work. |
| Guy | I’m glad we made it though. |
| Sakyo | Yeah. There are still loose ends, though. |
| Sakoda | Aniki—-!!! |
| Sakyo | Shut up. Don’t yell in my ear. |
| Sakoda | Uu! I-I was so moved! You were so cool, Aniki! |
| I didn’t think Geppaku-san and Hisui-san would die like that... uuu! |
| Citron | We’ll come back to life tomorrow. |
| Sakoda | Eh! Seriously!? |
| Sakyo | Don’t come back to life. |
| Tsuzuru | That would change the whole story! |
| But it was really great. ...Furuichi-san, thank you. |
| Sakyo | It’s all thanks to your script. |
| Tsuzuru | No, it’s because you took on what I wanted to convey, Furuichi-san. |
| Sakyo | ...Looks like I managed to fulfill my duty, then. |
| Kazunari | Kamon was really praising it too! Said he wanted to turn the whole thing into a film! |
| Sakyo | How much does he think that’ll cost? |
| Izumi | The PV was also incredible. |
| Omi | Yeah. I learned a lot from it; hopefully I can put that into practice from here on out, too. |
| Tasuku | Sakyo-san, you changed your acting from your usual performances on stage, right? |
| Sakyo | Yeah, I studied up. |
| Tsumugi | You went to a workshop, right? |
| Sakyo | Yuzo-san introduced it to me. If you’re interested, I can tell you where it is. |
| Tasuku | Please. I’ll try it out next time. |
| Tsumugi | Nice. I’ll join you. |
| Tenma | For someone who’s only done theater up till now, your acting on film was so natural. I’m impressed. |
| Sakyo | Hearing that from you gives me confidence, Sumeragi. |
| Homare | Azuma-san’s shikigami was also bewitching and powerful. You’ve reached the point where you can surround your entire body in an aura! |
| Hisoka | ...That was VFX. |
| Homare | I know that! It’s a metaphor! |
| Azuma | Fufu, thank you. |
| Banri | The PV was nice. I wanna do that with Autumn Troupe’s performances too. |
| Taichi | I wanna make a film debut! |
| Sakyo | Don’t take it so lightly, you lot. Listen up. Acting on film isn’t the same as performing on stage... et cetera, et cetera.... |
| Izumi | He’s back to the usual Sakyo-san. |
| Azuma | Fufu, indeed. |
| Sakyo | ...Got it? |
| Taichi | I want more juice! |
| Banri | What’s up with the feathers on that costume? |
| Sakyo | Hey. |
| Juza | I see... That was helpful. |
| Sakyo | Geez. |
| Juza | This performance was really good. I could feel Seimei’s compassion. |
| Watching it made me think I couldn’t lose. |
| Sakyo | ...Truth be told, I was influenced by how you played Blood during the Sixth Performance. |
| I thought it might be questionable to get competitive with someone younger than me and all, but I just couldn’t lose. |
| Juza | ...If that’s the case, I’m glad. |
| Because you’re a teammate I admire, and a rival I want to go all out competing against, Sakyo-san. |
| Sakyo | Hah, you’ve got guts. Then I’ll compete with everything I’ve got from now on as well. |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| Sakyo | Phew.... |
| (I had too much to drink...) |
| (That’s right, speaking of paper fortunes....) |
| (I still had this tucked away.) |
| Paper fortune | One day you will meet again. 3 points. Small luck. |
| |
| Sakyo | .... |
| Sakoda | Aniki! I’ll go grab the excavator! |
| Sakyo | Yeah. |
| Sakoda | This thing will be down in a flash~! |
| Sakyo | (...Guess this is my last look at the sign.) |
| .... |
| (I’ve already decided. Even if I’m scorned and hated, I’ll take it all on.) |
 |
| Paper fortune | One day you will meet again. 3 points. Small luck. |
| Sakyo | (I was right. This thing is bogus.) |
| Izumi | .... |
| Sakyo | ? |
| Oi, do you have business with this theater? |
| |
| Sakyo | If you hold on to your paper fortune, your dreams will come true... I thought it was silly, but I just couldn’t throw it away. |
| ...Like father, like son, huh. |
