Tomite : Haa~~~
Tomite : Is it possible that Kounan doesn't have any mikoshi?
Hikitsu : It can't be helped...Let's go back, Tomite.
Tomite : Kounan's ruling deity is Suzaku.
Hikitsu : So?
Tomite : ...well, someday, in this country too
Tomite : there will be a time when Suzaku no Miko and the seven seishis appear.
page 02
Tomite : For the sake of that future, we as the first seishis will have to set a fine example. [???]
Hikitsu : ...Even if you say that, we won't have a chance to meet the Suzaku seven seishis. This country is peaceful now.
Tomite : Since we're a few hundred years early, we'll be dead by then!
Person 1 : Hey, did you hear about it?
Person 2 : It seems that the brothel in the west is on fire! Since the flames are spreading wildly, it's disastrous!
page 03
Takiko : INAMI-!!
Takiko : Wait!! I'll save you now-!!
Takiko : INAMI!!
page 04
Enma : You will become a demon too.
Enma : You will suffer like us.
Enma : You will feel sadness.
Inami : ...didn't I tell you it's useless?
Inami : I'll become an Inma like this too... [Enma suddenly became Inma in this chapter. En=angry, In=dark/negative, Ma=demon]
Takiko : You can't!! Resist it, Inami!! I won't let you become an Inma!!
Inami : Anyway, there's no point in continuing my life...
Takiko : What are you saying!? There's definitely a point!! Why are you giving up everything like this!?
Inami : Are you so determined on me because...I'm a seishi? Miko-sama.
Takiko : NO!!
page 05
Takiko : You...
Takiko : 'All of you' must become happy!!
Takiko : Everyone has the right to that!!
Takiko : When you're alive, there will be painful times!! Tough times too- but it's not all only that!!
Takiko : There'll definitely be a day when you can honestly laugh out loud!!
Takiko : Live!! As long as you try hard and continue living, definitely-!!
Takiko : So don't give up!!
page 06
(flashback)
Shunu : I want to believe it. That someday, these girls and I, there'll be a time when we can laugh happily in the bright daylight...You too.
Inami : Shunu...
Inami : My child...even though I've lost it, as long as I live...I might be able to see it one day.
Inami : I won't lose. I will live.
(end flashback)
Takiko : I won't
Takiko : give up on all of you-!!
Inami : ...that's right...I...
Inami : I too...
page 07
Inami : just like you, I had the courage-
Takiko : UAAAAAAAAA!!!
page 08
Inami : ...Shunu...
Shunu : Ta...ruma-
Inami : Shunu!! I actually...
page 09
no dialogue here, just sound effects. A 'DON' and a 'DOOON'. =P
page 10
Shunu : You should go - under the moonlight
Shunu : Live, Taruma.
Inami : Shu...
Inami : SHUNU----!
page 11
Uruki : Takiko!!
Person 3 : Quick, get water!!
Person 4 : H...hey,the water is...
page 12
Uruki : ...Those two...
Uruki : They're late!
Takiko : -Inami...
Takiko : ...Shunu is...
page 13
Inami : ...She was smiling.
Inami : In the end...she turned back into her own self. [It's more like 'she got back her own self'.]
Hatsui : Ah, M-Miko-sama, U-Uruki-san!!
Uruki : Are you alright, Hatsui?
Hatsui : What about Ruude!?
Hatsui : Sh-She's fine! She collapsed, so I brought her along! [I can't make out the teeny words at the side and the bottom.]
Hatsui[?] : She set the fire...purely because she wanted to return to Hokkan.
Inami : She did what!?
Inami : ...What a silly thing to do. If a daughter who was sold for money returned, she'll only trouble her family...She should understand this.
Inami : ...Even so, I'm glad that she's still alive...
page 14
Inami : I'm glad...
Inami : that you're alive...
Inami : It seems that the fire was stopped at both sides and everyone managed to run away safely.
Takiko : Ina...Taruma-san, are you going to hand Ruude-san over to the authorities...?
Inami : No.
Takiko : As the temporary Okami, I'm taking the responsibility for this.
Takiko : Eh.
Tomite : That's not good! This time you can take everyone back to Hokkan...
Inami : If we go back, it'll just be the same thing again. It's better for these children to remain here...
Girl 1 : Taruma-san!!
page 15
Girl 1 : In that case - please summon Genbu and change Hokkan!
Inami : You all...!
Girl 2 : Taruma-san is one of the seven seishis, right?
Girl 3 : Even though I didn't believe in that legend...
Girl 4 : Nee, Miko! You will save our country, won't you?
Takiko : ...Yes! Definitely!
Girl 5 : -In that case, we'll wait! For the sake of our families, we'll work hard here in Kounan!
Girl 6 : Ne...Ruude too! Ganbarou! [I just can't come up with a word for 'ganbatte'.'Work hard' seems rather...lacking.]
page 16
Ruude : ...I'm sorry, Taruma-san!!
Ruude : There was a strange voice...When I realized it, things were already-
Inami : Voice...!? Don't tell me you were possessed by the Inma too-!
Girl 7 : There's a chance that We might have done the same thing too...
Takiko : Taruma-san.
Inami : Shunu
Inami : turned back into her own self due to your words, Miko. Seriously - if I became an Inma too, how are you going to summon Genbu?
Takiko : Well...Taruma-san won, with your will to 'live'.
Takiko : I just believed in that.
page 17
Inami : ...I guess it can't be helped. I'll see how far this 'Ojou-san' can go.
Takiko : Taru...
Inami : You can call me 'Inami'. [Yay!]
Inami : Since you're always calling Inami Inami, I got used to it.
Inami : Dawn is coming.
Inami : Shunu...I'm still alive...
page 18
Takiko : For a world where everyone can laugh in the daylight, I'll work hard.
Takiko : Only one more seishi left-!
Tomite : But those girls end up working at other shops. (A few of them are looking for other jobs.) [???]
Hikitsu : Even the fire was written off as accidental.
Tomite : In Hokkan, which tribe you are born into determines your job for life. The gap between the rich and the poor is extremely bad. The ones who enjoy the most wealth is the high-and-mighty Roun tribe-
Takiko : Tomite!
page 19
Uruki : ...It's okay. I might be a Roun, but I'm also a fugitive.
Hikitsu : Uruki.
Inami : I'm already suprised that you are actually a guy.
Inami : But the Roun tribe!? And if you're 'Uruki' then... [I love Inami's dangly earrings!!! And her hat and new outfit too!]
uruki : Eh?
Inami : Ah, it's nothing...
Hatsui : B-But, we've already gathered six seishis, Miko-sama!
Takiko : That's right, Hatsui!
Takiko : The last seishi, 'Urumiya' is in Hokkan's capital - in Touran!
Uruki : Touran...
page 20
Uruki : I'm worried that that place is
Uruki : my father's base, my father who is targeting us...
Tomite : Then, let's head to Touran at full speed!!
Uruki : Didn't you listen to what I just said!!
Takiko : Ara? [Another one of those sounds for which there is no English equivalent.]
Takiko : The necklace...why isn't it aiming at Touran...at Urumiya?
One of the gang : Touda is going through the hole in the clouds again!!
Another one of them : Hold on tight!!
page 21
Shigi : What's the matter, Haagasu?
Haagasu : The seven seishi are coming closer.
Hien : What!?
Shigi : Haagasu! Individual action is...
Shigi : ...I don't think you're listening.
Hien : Where, where are you, Uruki-!!
Hien : If you chase after something so desperately, you'll lose sight of what's right in front of you, Hien. [???]
Shigi : Since the situation here has changed after the audience with Temdan-ou... [ou = king]
Shigi : Now, let us see how the seishis will act
page 22
Shigi : against this big army.
Takiko : Wha...
One of the gang : Wha..t, that's an army!?
Another one : And they're at the border between Hokkan and Kutou...!?
Yet another one : H...Hey, Touda!! Why's such a thing happening again!!
page 23
Uruki : Kutou! Could it me...they've already decided to go into war-!
Takiko : What...!!
Tomite : Should we defeat them here now!? (Though it is abig army.)
Hikitsu : Wait! If we fight here, the fighting won't be limited to this area.
Hikitsu : If a war breaks out...a lot of commoners will die.
Uruki : ...Takiko! You guys stay here.
Takiko : Eh!?
Uruki : I'll look for Shigi and the rest! The treaty that Father and Kutou secretly concluded...I'll have to take it and show it to Hokkan's emperor!
Uruki : Father...Tendan is not just after our lives.
Uruki : He most probably intends to destroy Hokkan internally, and he's probably already preparing for it.
page 24
Uruki : It might even be too late now...Looks like we can't slowly gather the seven seishi in this situation.
Takiko : Eh?
Tomite : Eh...
page 25
Uruki : Wha...
Uruki : Why the hell did you come along!!
Takiko : But-!!
page 26
Haagasu : Uruki.
Uruki : Haagasu...!!
Haagasu : Where did you go with the yellow dragon to play? Did you find a new seishi?
Takiko : This is not good, Uruki! Just give up on the treaty-
Haagasu : Treaty?
Haagasu : -Ah.
Haagasu : This thing, isn't it?
page 27
Haagasu : Even if I'm teamed up with Kutou now, I plan to defeat you alone.
Haagasu : Whatever happens to any country...has nothing to do with me.
Uruki : If so, why are you following Temdan-!
Haagasu : There's something I want to get back.
Uruki : What is it.
page 28
Haagasu : There's no need for me to
Haagasu : answer!!
Uruki : Damn...you!
page 29
no dialogue, just The Revelation :)
page 30
Takiko : Eh?
Takiko : No way...
Uruki : Impossible...
Uruki : You-
page 31
Haagasu : It's not 'complete'...that's why the symbol too is not complete...
Takiko : This is...
Haagasu : Can you accept me as your comrade? Miko.
Takiko : This person is 'Urumiya'
Haagasu : Give up on summoning Genbu.
Takiko : The last of the seven seishi.
Haagasu : I'll kill you!!
