Pool Temporarily Closed

I've made my mind up!

We gotta to do what we gotta do!

Do what?

What do you think?

Exorcise them!

At the End of Obsession

So that's why you called us here?

Don't you think it's terrible that we can't use the pool when it's this hot?

Do your thing!

Yeah, yeah...

That's better.

Ougi, you too...

Takaya's being really scary, what's the matter with him?

Yeah, he's been acting like that lately.

That idiot is just moping by himself.

Um...

It seems like I troubled you awhile back, and I...

It was an accident, it wasn't your fault.

Nothing strange has happened since then, right?

Y-Yes, nothing out of the ordinary...

Good then.

The way he just talked, it didn't even sound like it was Takaya.

It happened in this pool?

We could get into trouble, you know.

Don't worry, I hypnotized the staff.

Is it the spirit of someone who died in the water?

No, the Feudal Underworld is involved in this one.

During the Feudal Era, there was a castle called Nerima Castle...

...and this is where it stood.

I think they lost against Dokan Ota and the castle went down.

Right now, this area is within the Hojo territory...

...but a few of the areas are refusing to join.

It Seems like this is one of them.

Well, we can't do anything if she doesn't show herself.

I guess I'll have to offer myself as bait.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

It feels great!

Something moved in the water.

Haruie!

There you are.

Where is she?

She hasn't shown herself yet.

Haruie, don't underestimate her power.

Get out of the water.

Okay!

Yuiko?

Yuiko!

No, stay back, Morino.

Who dares intrude into our castle?

Are you intruding knowing that this is the Castle of Toshima?

There you are.

Who are you?

My name is Itsu.

Itsu?

You must be Princess Itsu, who committed suicide when the castle fell.

We protected this castle with our lives...

We will not hand it over to the Hojo clan.

We're not from the Hojo clan...

...and if you're willing to pass on, we won't interfere.

So hurry up and rest your soul!

I do not believe you.

I can smell the scent of the Hojo clan from you.

What did you say?

You scoundrels who live selfishly without knowing our pain...

We were engulfed in flames and sunk in the cold depths.

You shall feel our hatred.

She's attacking!

Stand back.

You bitch...

Don't even think about it!

He's out of control.

He's lost it.

Kagetora stop it, it's dangerous!

Move, don't get in my way!

Are you trying to kill Yuiko?

What the hell is wrong with you?

You idiot!

That's enough!

Now's our chance!

Bai!

Noumakusamanda Bodanan Baishi Ramandaya Sowaka.

Ari Nari Tonari Anaro Nabi Kunabi.

Namu Tobatsu Bishamonten.

Demons be gone!

Lend us thy power!

Exorcise!

Get a hold of yourself!

If you had kept it up like that, she'd be dead right now.

Do you understand your position?

It's not the same as a normal person losing it!

What happened?

You've been acting strange since you got back from Toyama.

What happened between you and Naoe?

It's none of your business.

I guess it's something that you can't talk about...

It was only a matter of time that this would happen.

Naoe might sound like he's gone insane...

...but you're the one who drove him to that point!

What did you say?

You're the one who made Naoe go insane, over the past four hundred years!

What does that mean, I didn't do...

You think you didn't do anything?

That you don't remember a thing?

Forget it!

I know you really don't remember, but it's so frustrating.

It's worse because you're doing it subconsciously.

If you actually let him do what he wants to do...

...you'll know exactly how sinful and selfish you are!

He went home by himself?

Yeah.

But he doesn't know this area, how is he going to go home?

It's none of my business.

And in general, you're partly to blame for spoiling him.

I'm going to go look for Takaya.

Wait!

Wait, Narita!

Why are you making the situation worse?

You can't even moderate a fight?

Whatever, it pisses me off watching them.

They're doing the same thing that they've been doing for four hundred years.

Naoe doesn't want to repeat it either, so that's why he's struggling too.

What I want to say is, Naoe has exhausted all of his options.

It's Kagetora who has to make the decision now.

A guy like you could be fine with that.

But things aren't that simple for them.

There's been too much between them.

And you need courage to end it, four hundred years worth of it...

I think they're just being evasive about it.

They should end this, even if it means it could end everything.

You're the one who made Naoe go insane.

I made Naoe insane?

How is it my fault?

He's the one who betrayed me...

He's the one...

Watch where you're walking!

Those girls at the last party weren't that cute.

Yeah.

Wait.

Oops, I didn't know you were awake.

Shut up and apologize.

What?

You kicked my cigarettes.

Oh, did I?

I thought it was trash.

Go buy some new ones.

It has to be those!

You...

If you had kept it up like that, she'd be dead right now.

Are you done already?

It's too early to go to bed, kid!

How pathetic!

He's all talk.

Come on, let's go.

He's the one who started it.

Did you not use your powers out of kindness?

Or did you just want to get beaten by someone?

It's been four hundred years.

My brother, Saburo...

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I am Yoshiaki Tachibana.

I am Maiko Asaoka.

Please excuse me for calling you the other day without any prior notice.

How has your brother's condition been since then?

It's not good.

He's still unconscious.

I see...

Will you please tell me again what happened from the beginning?

Sure.

It was exactly a month ago.

My family runs a hotel by the Chuzenji Lake in Nikko.

That night, my brother, Shinya, took the car to drive his friend home...

...and he had an accident at Irohazaka.

Fortunately, it was only a minor accident.

Shinya and his friend weren't injured...

...but Shinya is unconscious and is still in critical condition.

And that's when you started to dream about your brother?

Yes, in my dream, my brother is in this forest.

The bottom half of his body is joined with a tall cedar tree and...

Help me, Sis...

Break the mirror, and kill the red beast...

I can't get away from this tree...

And you say this image from your dreams started to appear in mirrors now?

Yes.

Will you please come over here?

Can you see him in the mirror now?

Yes, he's very vivid.

I can't see anything.

It seems like the mirror has become some sort of medium that...

...conveys your brother's feelings to specific people.

Is that what it is?

And by observation, I don't see your brother's soul around you.

What's going on with my brother right now?

Please help me, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Let's go visit your brother.

We won't know anything unless I meet him myself.

Yes.

Is there something wrong?

Well, you look so different than earlier, so...

Oh, this is how I normally dress.

Actually, I should say these are my real work clothes.

Which way is the hospital?

I'll navigate.

This is my brother, Shinya.

He won't wake up no matter how much I call him.

He's been like this for a month.

Now I understand the reason why he won't wake up.

There is no soul in this body, this body is empty.

I don't feel any energy from him.

There's no soul?

Basically, his body is here, but Shinya himself isn't here.

Then my brother is...

For some reason, the soul and the body have dissociated themselves.

No, it's more correct to say that they were forced to dissociate.

But then what's going to happen to my brother?

Is he going to stay like this forever?

If the soul comes back, he will wake up.

When the soul leaves the body, the body goes into something like a coma.

But if this condition lasts too long, it can threaten his life.

We must hurry...

His soul must have left him when the accident happened...

We must go to Irohazaka!

According to his friend in the car...

...a large animal suddenly jumped out into the road.

An animal?

Yes.

Shinya tried to dodge it by cutting the wheel, and then he hit the guardrail.

There're faint marks on it, but it seems like it was a minor accident.

You said his friend saw the animal?

Yes, but it was at night, so he couldn't quite figure out what it was.

I heard that a treasure from Toshogu was stolen a couple of months ago.

Do you know anything about it?

I heard it was the holy speculum or something of that nature.

It was a mirror, right?

Would it be all right to stop somewhere?

There's something that's been bothering me.

What is going on?

Something's wrong with this waterfall, it wasn't like this the last time I was here.

What do you mean by that?

A waterfall and its location emit extraordinary spiritual energy.

And wandering spirits usually gather to a waterfall.

Then the waterfall becomes surrounded by a very unique spiritual energy.

In simpler terms, it's a very sacred energy.

But currently, the wandering spirits have been removed from the waterfall.

The cleansed energy is there, but it doesn't have its sanctity.

The waterfall's solemn spiritual energy has been lost.

It's not only here, I sense similar problems from all of Nikko.

It seems as if someone removed all of the wandering spirits.

This is only a guess, but it may have something to do with Shinya's case too.

It cannot be just a coincidence.

An Uesugi member is on a sightseeing trip?

Kosaka!

What a coincidence, Naoe.

What are you scheming?

In an era of war, things with form can easily burn to ashes or fade away.

I've taught you how to play the flute and the art of archery for years now.

I want you to take this as a keepsake of me.

Because it will remain with you as long as you live.

Yes, brother.

Do you not have any hatred towards us?

The term 'adoption' may be softer to the ear, but in reality, you will be a hostage.

I am pained about your situation.

No, I do not have any hatred.

I, Saburo, know very well that none other than Father has suffered the most.

For Father...

For the Hojo...

I shall go to Echigo.

Father is like this ocean.

He is grand and vast.

He watched over every one of us siblings equally.

We were raised by a strict and loving father.

As a hostage, you will be faced with inconceivable humiliations.

In times like that, remember this ocean from Odawara.

I am sure it will soothe your heart.

Yes, brother.

Where am I?

It seems like I've woken you up.

To be continued...
