Shadow of the Moon, the Sea of Shadow, Chapter Seven

Kou

Goryou

Youko!

Are you all right?

Youko!

Watch out, a man's injured here!

Youko stop it, you can't save everyone!

What's the rat saying?

I'm trying to save everyone?

What for?

All you people taught me...

...that we all live for ourselves.

After all, no one can live for someone else.

Open the gate!

Youko!

Move it, Hanjyuu!

That's why...

...I'm going to live for myself!

Where are Sugimoto and that woman with the long golden hair?

I'm not going to forgive them!

Come down here!

If you don't, I'm going to chop up your mate!

I am...

What are you?

I am a...

...beast!

The rat!

The rat...

What if the rat reports me?

Hey, you there!

Hey!

Hold there!

It's going to be okay.

Everything will be fine.

Are you going back to finish him off?

Or are you going back to see if he's okay?

That's right, I can't leave him like this...

Of course, you can't...

You can't leave him alive, right?

What?

It was really a young woman who killed those Youma.

Her hair was colored, but she's that wanted Kaikyaku, sir.

She forced me to bring her here...

She's going to Agan to travel to En!

Sir, you've got to arrest that Kaikyaku!

Then you'll be in deep trouble...

You better go back there before it's too late.

I have to go back.

Go back and find the rat.

I'll find the rat.

If he's still breathing...

...finish him off.

Finish him off...

Stop it!

Wise up.

You've been tricked too many times.

You know how people survive in this world, don't you?

But those people and the rat back there...

So many people were hurt, I want to save them!

Aren't you heroic?

But I know that you've never wanted to save anyone.

That's not true, I fought to protect Sugimoto and Asano!

Yeah, because you wanted them to like you.

You were just playing the good girl, like you always have!

That's not true!

Yes, it is.

You never cared about saving others!

If you want to stay alive, then run!

Run!

If your friends are hurt, you're supposed to help them!

That's if you're a human.

But you're a beast!

Stop it!

The rat is probably dead...

Then what will you do, cry for him?

Well, go ahead.

If that'll relieve your guilty feelings!

I want to find the Rat...

...and finish him off!

No!

After he saved my life...

...and all I did was abandon him...

It's horrible...

This makes me feel so horrible...

If I go back to kill him now...

If I had gone back to kill him back there...

I'm glad...

I'm glad that I didn't kill him.

W-Wait!

Hey!

A-Are you a fool?

That rat saved you so he could cash you in later!

He wasn't trying to help you out.

It doesn't matter if he wasn't.

He still saved my life, and that will never change.

He tricked you into trusting him!

He's going to use you!

And he'll betray you in the end!

I don't care if he does.

If he betrays me, it will be his shame, not mine!

But you won't survive without deceiving others!

I won't die and I won't be a coward, either!

I can't trust people if they're not sincere?

I can't be kind to people if they are not kind to me?

That's not true.

Whether I trust others or not...

...has absolutely nothing to do with how they treat me!

You're right after all, I am alone.

And that's why...

...I'll make my own decision!

No matter how bad people treat me, or how many times I'm betrayed...

...I'll still choose to trust people!

You'll die here!

You'll never go home!

No one will care about you!

People will lie to you and betray you!

I don't care what others think!

I'll be kind to people because that's what I want!

I'll trust people because I want to!

You will die!

Get out of my way!

I've got to find Rakushun!

I'll survive.

A Hanjyuu?

The injured are being treated at the town hall.

At the town hall?

And dead bodies are piled up in the back...

H-Hey you!

You're from yesterday...

Rakushun...

Stop!

Hi, it's me!

This may be a prop sword but it can still break your bones!

It's okay, Koutetsu.

We know each other.

You didn't get hurt yesterday, did you?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause trouble.

Why are you apologizing?

You saved us all from the Kochou.

You probably shouldn't stay around here, though.

But I still have to look for my friend, I'm not sure but he may have gotten hurt.

Your friend from the last time?

U-Uh, not him...

He looks like a rat...

A Hanjyuu?

What's his name?

Rakushun.

Uh...

I'm going to town.

Be careful.

Take her with you, I'll catch up to you later.

Lady Bishin...

Come on!

It's the mask from Shinki!

We use it when we tell the stories of the gods.

Koutetsu is really good at it.

He dances with the mask on.

And he tells the story about how the World was created.

How the World was created?

Mom!

I see, you didn't see him anywhere.

I didn't see him in the office nor in the back, so I'm sure he's okay.

You're probably right, I'm sure Rakushun's gone home.

Thank you for your help.

Where are you going?

You've got to stay by the Yaboku at night.

Yaboku?

Youma don't come near this tree.

Oh, that's why...

Do you know where you're going?

I'm going to En.

Then she needs to take a ship from Agan, right, Leader?

Right.

We're going to travel by the south road...

...but first we're going to make some money at Agan.

Why don't you come with us?

But Leader, she's a wanted Kaikyaku, she may bring us problems...

Well?

It's not as bad as Kei, but there are Youma in Kou now.

We'd feel safer if you'd come with us.

You're asking me to guard you?

What do you say?

I'd be happy to.

Youko was just pretending to be a good girl.

I had no idea...

She was deceiving us.

I thought she was such a perfect daughter...

I have no place to go back to.

I know, I have to survive.

Kourin!

Where's Kourin?

Why is no one coming to pick me up?

How long do I have to stay here?

Why...

Why am I here?

Let's go.

Here!

Leader, if the officers question us, I'm going to turn that Kaikyaku in!

What if Youma attack us?

What if they don't?

What good will it do for us to save her here?

Plenty.

We can have a safe trip and help a person, doesn't it make you feel good?

We are the Shusei, we don't belong to any kingdom...

We are like Kaikyaku ourselves.

We're nothing like them.

What do you grow here, sir?

Nothing can grow here.

The water supply is running dry, it's hopeless.

Then why do you have a farm here?

I didn't set up a farm knowing that it'd be a wasteland, the farm turned into one.

Over the past couple of years, we've had a drought, bugs...

On top of that, we had storms.

The Heavens must be angry with the King.

The King?

You mean King Kou?

Natural calamities occur when the king doesn't govern right.

Everyone knows that.

Are you the Kaikyaku from the last Shoku?

How do you...

Did you come to pick me up?

Why her?

All she cared about was getting out of this world!

I could've easily killed her if I wanted!

Why her?

I'm much better suited for this world!

I'm looking for the Kaikyaku that King Kou is trying to assassinate.

I guess it's not you.

What am I supposed to do here?

Please take me...

I want to go where I belong!

Sorry to bother you.

The uprising in the Kingdom of Kei intensifies.

The royal army refuses to obey the new Queen, Jyoei.

Jyoei is the younger sister of the previous ruler, Yo-Ou.

Many are suspicious of her claim to the throne.

No Hou in the other kingdoms have cried.

Is this all?

No, actually we have a new member.

A Shusei, right?

Uh well, I'm not sure...

Youko!

You gotta hide!

He has no useful skill, he's just an assistant.

Don't worry.

If he's useless, why would you keep him, is there any other reason...

Hear now!

The Kaikyaku has crossed over the Kyokai and brought calamity to this world!

The evil Kaikyaku controls the Youma and threatens people with her sword!

Take a good look at this beast!

What are you talking about, he's not bad at all.

Let's go.

A Kaikyaku couldn't be that talented.

I copied your performance, Koutetsu.

Copied me, huh?

I'm amazed by how Gyokuyou knew.

She knew I was in trouble as soon as she saw your face.

I don't think my mother understood me at all.

You can't expect a mother to know everything about her child.

If you don't talk to her, then how will she know what you want from her?

Did you talk to your mother?

Did you talk to her about your feelings?

Dear...

Dad, Mom...

I'm not a good girl like you think I am...

Will you still love me?

It's Agan!

It's the sea!

All right, let's make some money!

Yeah!

We'll have to say goodbye soon.

What's wrong?

Actually...

There's something I must tell you.

The last time I met you...

We had no money or food...

But that doesn't matter!

I was trying to...

Listen...

You look different from how you looked back then.

You must've gone through a lot.

You have a nice face now.

That's why I asked you to come along.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Rakushun!

Because of Rakushun...

...I've become a better person!

That one at the shore is going to En.

The next one isn't for another three days.

Shadow of the moon reflects over the Sea of Emptiness.

Let's sleep in the soft silver luster for now.

In my memory, I kept looking for...

...warmth in the lonely rain.

Even if my body dies, I will keep running...

...until I reach the rainbow at the end of the world.

Seikai is just like its name says, "the Blue Sea."

The white waves break up on the shore.
