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.
