THE RISE AND FALL OF ONMYOJI
MUNEHARU MUROTA

A POPULAR HISTORY OF HEIAN-KYO
MASAAKI IKARI

ENZO ASHIYA

(Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective)

The original Onmyoji

refers to a divination position
in the Onmyoryo,

which was established
by Emperor Tenmu during the Asuka period.

Of which, Seimei Abe was the most famous.

I know.

He often appears
in Japanese fantasy movies or games.

He usually seems like a sorcerer.

Onmyoji are experts in exorcising demons,
praying and casting curses.

Oh…

Well,

MUROTA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2024
isn't Mr. Murota

a historian?

What would he want from us doctors?

Maybe he's heard the rumors.

He knows I'm the genius
who's solved several cold cases.

So?

He wants me to help
lift the Onmyoji's curse.

Another curse?

Quite interesting, isn't it?

Sorry.

Dr. Ameku,

MUNEHARU MUROTA, PROFESSOR
have you heard of

OF JAPANESE HISTORY AT SUIMEI UNIVERSITY
an Onmyoji named

Doman Ashiya?

Also known as Doma Hoshi,

he was Seimei Abe's arch-rival,

a representative figure of
Hoshi Onmyoji from the Heian period.

You are indeed learned,

AOI KURAMOTO
Dr. Ameku.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
In both Uji Shui Monogatari and Mineaiki,

OF JAPANESE HISTORY AT TEITO UNIVERSITY
his name

was mentioned.

Hmm.

Even though Doman Ashiya
was a real person,

-Hoshi Onmyoji…
-there are no detailed records left of him.

-Doman Ashiya?
-There're few historical materials

-Sorry.
-on Hoshi Onmyoji to begin with.

MUROTA'S ASSISTANT,
-Once they start talking about their research, /-Different from

MASASHI KAGAYA
-they become /-the Official Onmyoji,

MASASHI KAGAYA
-completely engrossed. /-Nobles' records are not easily preserved.

-We both have
-Harimakagami also appeared

-a tricky genius boss…
-seven hundred years after the Onmyoji was active.

Even the credibility of the book

-Yeah.
-is highly doubtful.

You really know it well.

But…

In the warehouse at Professor Murota's place,
we found some historical materials.

It's an ancient document
about the Onmyoji, Enzo Ashiya.

Their surnames are both Ashiya,
so was he related to Doman?

It's also possible
they're fellow disciples.

Enzo Ashiya cursed and killed
more than ten people, including nobles.

He was wanted by Heian-kyo.

He was a criminal in the Heian period?

Under our research,

we found out that Enzo Ashiya eventually
fled to Kanto and settled in Kamakura.

His descendants, the Ashiya clan,
have existed to this day.

To this day?

Eventually, we found

the thing that could fundamentally
change the research on Doman.

That is, the grave of Enzo Ashiya.

After negotiating,

three weeks ago,

we were granted permission
to enter the grave for investigation.

Inside this coffin that has been sealed
for a thousand years since the Heian period

lies a mummy of a monk.

Mummy?

Is that Enzo Ashiya?

I believe that's correct.

Excuse me.

This is my daughter, Haruka.

My wife passed away three months ago.

After that, she quit her job

and came back home to take care of me.

Professor Murota…

Dad…

The curse of the Onmyoji.

That's why you called me here, right?

Those who desecrate the grave

will be cursed by Enzo.

Huh?

It is said that this is a saying
passed down by the Ashiya clan.

Fascinating.

You said fascinating?

If the curse really existed,

it'd be a major discovery.

A true genius really is different.

As for me,

just thinking of
the possibility of being cursed

scares me terribly.

Well…

Specifically, what symptoms
have you experienced?

About two weeks ago,

I began to cough incessantly.

Since then, the coughing hasn't stopped.

My father's attending physician said that he must
be given oxygen through an oxygen cylinder.

He has also had mild fever symptoms.

Sounds like emphysema.

Could it be respiratory-related pneumonia?

You smoke a lot, right?

This is self-inflicted.

My family doctor said the same thing.

However,

I've been taking medication
according to the prescription this past week.

Not only has my condition not improved,

it has actually gotten worse.

It is not just Professor Murota.

Professor Ikari from Teito University,

who entered the grave with him,
has also fallen ill.

Three days ago,

Professor Ikari's wife asked me

to check up on him.

Professor Ikari…

Let's go to the hospital.

No.

I must not go outside…

Ikari.

I'm begging you, let's go to the hospital.

I have heard the voice…

It says "I will kill you…
unforgivable… die…"

This is Enzo's curse.

Aoi Kuramoto.

When did Ikari start showing symptoms?

It should be two weeks ago.

I see.

Murota has also been coughing
throughout these two weeks.

Does Ikari have any chronic illness?

I remember he has colitis.

The ulcerative type.

Then he should be on immunosuppressants.

And it's been three weeks…

-Dr. Takao?
-If we go for a check-up now, but…

That's the fastest we can do?

Darn.

Let's go, Kotori.

Huh?

Aoi Kuramoto.

Wait a minute.

Me too? Where are we going?

Enzo Ashiya's grave.

ASHIYA

So heavy…

What's inside the bag?

You even made a detour
to the hospital to pick it up.

You'll know soon. Let's hurry.

Don't trespass on other people's land.

Humph.

It's you again.

Who are you?

What?

I am Yuuta Ashiya,
the master of the Ashiya clan.

Master?

And who might you be?

I am Takao Ameku, from the General
Diagnosis Department at Tenikai General Hospital.

This is my assistant, Kotori.

It's Takanashi.

Kotori? Takanashi?

Why would doctors come here at this hour?

We've come to investigate
Enzo Ashiya's grave.

What?

I don't recall giving my consent.

Moreover, I am opposed
to your investigation.

We've already obtained permission.

What?

The landowner,
your mother, has already agreed.

Anyway,

is that guy called Ikari doing okay?

He went tomb-raiding despite my warning.

That's why he got cursed.

We're out of time, let's go.

Who told you that you could go in?

As a doctor, I determine it's necessary
to go in for an investigation now.

I must go in.

What?

So, make way quickly.

Watch your attitude.

Ouch.

What are you doing…

Well, do you have a problem?

Sorry, we have to force our way through.

What?

Try it if you dare.

You guy…

Let's hurry.

Why are you so angry?

I'm not angry.

You are angry. Are you okay though?

-Of course I'm angry, I got pushed.
-Do not enter Enzo's grave.

Ah, before getting on the car,

-dust off the sand on you.
-Those who violate

-Worry about me for a second, will you?
-the taboo

will be cursed to death.

Kotori.

Carry me.

Don't make unreasonable requests.

This bag is very heavy.

How am I supposed to carry you?

You carry that in front…

I can't.

Watch where you're going.

You're heartless.

I see it.

It's very damp inside.

It's slippery here, be careful.

It's unexpectedly spacious.

That is the coffin of Enzo.

Dr. Takao…

Why do you want to open the coffin?

Kotori.

Yes?

Open it.

Uh…

Do I have to?

Who else could open it?

You're not scared, are you?

Fine.

I'll do it.

If the rumor is real,
you'll be the first to get cursed.

Please don't say that.

Oh, it's a microscope in that bag.

What exactly do you want to do?

I want to collect some samples.

Samples?

Just as I thought.

Huh?

Where does Ikari live?

Uh, he lives in Tanashi.

Now we have evidence.

Next is to bring that guy…

Dr. Takao?

We'll depart now, and you lead the way.

Now?

Let's lift the Curse of Enzo.

(Karte 4: Spontaneous Human Combustion)

I'll be killed

by the curse

of Enzo.

I… I don't want…

I don't want to die.

Open the door, Ikari.

We're going to the hospital.

I… I'm not going to hospital.

This… This is a curse.

I beg you, come out.

The doctor will cure you.

Shut up!

Go away.

It's so hot… My head…
My head hurts so much.

Listen.

If this goes on, you're going to die.

Eh?

Why…

Please, take him to the hospital,
and use force if you have to.

Taking someone to the hospital
without their consent

could possibly constitute kidnapping,
even for doctors.

Mandatory hospitalization.

As long as a patient's
family member consents

and a designated psychiatrist deems
there is a need for forced medical treatment,

it's possible to hospitalize him
without the patient's consent.

I see.

So that's why you asked Dr. Sumida
from Psychiatry Department to come along.

Mandatory hospitalization

must be carried out only when a patient
has low decision-making capacity.

I understand the patient
is in critical condition.

But that still doesn't constitute a need
for mandatory hospitalization…

Kotori.

Break down the door.

-Eh?
-What?

Kick this door open.

You are being unreasonable!

There's a life at stake now!

We must examine your husband immediately.

Can I break this door?

Okay… okay.

Kotori.

Alright.

-Everyone, please step back.
-No… Don't…

Enzo will come in.

I don't want…

Good.

Don't open the door.

-Ugh…
-Ikari.

No… don't come over…

Enzo will…

What…

Wait, what are you doing?

The whole upper body rises…

It's neck stiffness.

Eh?

Headache, fever,
vomiting, mental confusion,

and neck stiffness.

The disease that can be concluded is

Meningitis.

And the cause of this disease

is Cryptococcus.

Cryptococcus?

Cryptococcus is a type of fungus.

That is, mold.

It proliferates in the environment
with high humidity.

Once it infects the meninges,
it can cause severe symptoms.

The environment with high humidity…

The tomb of Enzo Ashiya.

It has been sealed
for nearly a thousand years.

A large number of bacteria
have proliferated.

Have I also been infected?

No.

If someone is in good condition,

-Ikari… come on…
-Cryptococcus won't trigger symptoms.

This man has facial edema
and emaciated limbs.

Do you know why, Kotori?

Moon face…

It's a side effect
of long-term steroid use.

That's right.

Steroids have an immunosuppressive effect.

Murota's emphysema

makes him susceptible to
respiratory-related pneumonia.

I understand.

Professor Murota has fungal pneumonia.

That's why antibiotics weren't effective.

Exactly.

Antifungal medication
should be used for treatment.

This

is the truth of the Onmyoji's curse.

Ikari, you have contracted
severe fungal meningitis.

You must be hospitalized immediately.

No…

If I go out, the curse will kill me.

Please, send him to the hospital now.

Sumida.

In the cave that this man entered,
I found a large amount of Cryptococcus.

I have evidence.

Just look at the sample I collected
under the microscope…

I really hate you very much.

But,

I greatly acknowledge
your diagnostic ability.

Dr. Ameku,

do you judge it necessary
to hospitalize him forcibly?

Yes.

He needs to be sent to the hospital
as soon as possible.

I agree to the mandatory hospitalization.

Kotori.

Yes.

Call an ambulance.

I understand.

Miss Kuramoto.

Dr. Takanashi.

So you smoke after all.

Yes, occasionally.

It's quite rare.

The matches?

Professor Murota gave it to me yesterday.

I see.

How is Professor Murota's health now?

Thanks to Dr. Ameku,
his condition has improved.

He is happy to be off the oxygen cylinder.

That's good to hear.

By the way, I've sent Dr. Ameku
the information on Enzo Ashiya.

She must be very interested.

She is so curious.

It's gotten a bit cold.

After all, it's already autumn.

Dr. Takanashi.

Please tell me honestly,
how is Professor Ikari's condition?

According to Dr. Takao's diagnosis,

he was in critical condition
when he was sent to the hospital.

The hospital is now
doing their best to save him.

But to be honest…

I see…

Professor Ikari's wife

is very grateful to you.

Huh?

She said she could accompany him now
because you brought him to the hospital.

I see.

Professor Murota and I are thankful too.

Thank you for solving
the mystery of the curse.
