TEASER
Hokuto appeared before Kakyou. What's going on ...!?


P. 153
HOKUTO
$ What's your last name?
KAKYOU
... Kuzuki ...
Kuzuki Kakyou.


P. 154
HOKUTO
$ Kuzuki Kakyou?
$ Calling you Kuzuki-san doesn't sound right ...
$ Can I call you Kakyou?


P. 155
{Sound of Hokuto disappearing.}


P. 156
HOKUTO
$ Huh?
$ What is this place?
$ This isn't my dream.
$ That means ...
$ It's yours?
{She vanished again.}


P. 157
{Hokuto reappeared.}
HOKUTO
$ A dreamgazer?
$ I've heard of it.
$ A dreamgazer is someone who can see the future in a dream, isn't it?
$ Are you surprised that I know about this?
$ I come from a family of onmyouji.
$ Have you ever heard of the Sumeragi Clan?
$ Nope. most of the Art is beyond me. I just don't have the talent.
$ My younger brother is the head of the clan.
$ Yes, I have a brother. He's my twin.
$ We look the same. He's cute, of course, just like me.


P. 158
HOKUTO
$ My brother ...
$ His power causes him pain.
$ His strong power and pure heart ...
$ I can't do anything for him.


P. 159
HOKUTO
$ Oh, but ...
$ You and I can meet each other because of my limited powers.
{She vanished then reappeared.}
$ You've never left this place before, since you were born!?
$ Really!?


P. 160
HOKUTO
$ Is this what you wish?
$ If that's the case, I won't say anything.
$ What?
$ No?
$ That's simple.


P. 161
HOKUTO
$ Let's go.
$ Leave this place and go "Outside".


P. 162
{Hokuto reached out a hand. Kakyou tried to take it.}


P. 163
{His hand passed right through Hokuto's.}
KAKYOU
I couldn't ... do anything ...


P. 164
KAKYOU
I saw your death in the future ...
but I ... couldn't do anything about it ...


P. 165
KAKYOU
... The future ... cannot be changed ...


P. 166
SORATA
It's ~~ ready!
Yeah! I did it!
If you don't pay attention, they go flat on you!
What is it?
You look as if someone had just given you a knuckle on the forehead.
KAMUI
[A knuckle on the forehead ... (sweatdrop)]
No, I just didn't expect that you can bake cream puffs.


P. 167
ARASHI
Neither do I.
SORATA
In Kouya, we hold a confectionery contest once a month.
The monks there will gather together to make their best dishes.
I get awards all the time.
[The monk who is my rival in these contests is good at making buns used for
funerals.]
KAMUI
Is that true ...?
SORATA
{Decisively}
I was just joking.


P. 168
SORATA
[Ahahahaha! You're so much fun to tease! You'd believe in anything.]
{He patted Kamui on the head.}
ARASHI
It's ... a joke?
SORATA
{Raising his head suddenly.}
What? You believed in it too?
ARASHI
No ... no, I ...


P. 169
SORATA
You're so beautiful,
but nowadays I find you cute too.
ARASHI
{turned around}
SORATA
I annoyed her again.
ARASHI
{blush}


P. 170
KAMUI
{At the dinner table, Kamui glanced at the empty chair beside him.}
SORATA
Yuzuriha-chan?


P. 171
KAMUI
% Yuzuriha ... where are you?


P. 172
KUSANAGI
Are you really alright?
YUZURIHA
Yes.
Inuki saved my life. I have to take good care of myself.
Not only that,
if I keep crying, Inuki will scold me for it.


P. 173
YUZURIHA
Oh ... thank you for the clothes.
KUSANAGI
Your school uniform was soiled.
But I don't know a thing about girl's fashion.
I should have asked you before buying them.
YUZURIHA
Not at all!
I like these clothes!
Very much!


P. 174
YUZURIHA
... because you picked them for me.
... Kusanagi-san.


P. 175
YUZURIHA
I love Kusanagi-san.


P. 176
KUSANAGI
... Young missy ...
YUZURIHA
Do you find it bothersome, my liking you?


P. 177
KUSANAGI
Of course not.
What kind of guy would get upset when told by a pretty girl that she loves
him?
YUZURIHA
I know.
To Kusanagi-san,
I'm still a child.


P. 178
YUZURIHA
But I want to get to know you.
I also want you to know more about me.


P. 179
KUSANAGI
I feel the same way.
YUZURIHA
I have to go! Everyone must be worried about me!
Can we meet again?


P. 180
KUSANAGI
If that's okay with you.
YUZURIHA
Yes!!
Kusanagi-san!
See you!
% Inuki.


P. 181
YUZURIHA
% I told Kusanagi-san that I love him.
% He told me it's okay for me to love him.
% He said so.


P. 182
YUZURIHA
% Inuki ...
% You will always be in my heart.
{Wipe tears}


P. 183
YUZURIHA
% I will never ever forget you.
% I'll be strong, Inuki.


P. 184
KUSANAGI
The war between the "Dragons of Heaven" and the "Dragons of Earth" ...
I thought it doesn't concern me.


P. 185
KUSANAGI
It seems I can't say that anymore.


P. 186-187
{In the Dreamscape, Kanoe approached Hinoto.}


P. 188
{Kanoe reached out for Hinoto, but encountered a mirror-like wall.}
KANOE
No, it's useless.


P. 189
KANOE
I can't go any further than this.
... Recently, I can't "peek" into her dreams.
Why?
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
... Well, that's fine with me.


P. 190
KANOE
We have a real "Dreamgazer" among the "Dragons of Earth".
He can see the future in his dreams, just like you do.
Wait for me, sister.
Your dream ...


P. 191
KANOE
Your dream that "Hinoto's dream will not come true" is accurate, I will
prove it for you.


P. 192
KANOE
And then, I will set you free from your fate to live as a "Dreamgazer" and
nothing more.


P. 193
HINOTO
{Sinister smile.}
