Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

Encroaching Shadow

The Mukuroshu is an evil organization operating
in the shadows of Hinomoto that schemes to
overthrow the shogunate. One day, the onmyoji
Seimei receives a secret order from the dragon
Amaterasu to probe into the group's activities.

Seimei finds information that suggests the group
may have crossed into South Grastaea.
Hoping to deceive his enemy, Seimei stages a
disappearance, departs Hinomoto, and slips into
the other country to begin his investigation.

Soon, he hears word of a string of mysterious
disappearances in a remote region of the land, and
instantly suspects the Mukuroshu's involvement.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Lord Seimei, I think we have arrived in the area where the disappearances are said to be taking place.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Do ya reckon all them disappearances are a Mukuroshu plot, Lord Seimei?

110375 01 r05Seimei: That would be my guess. They were kidnapping people for their experiments with Yomi chi back in Hinomoto, after all.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: And now you think they're doing the same here in Alberia. So what is our next move?

110375 01 r05Seimei: We're going to use a transformation technique to conceal ourselves as travelers and lure them out in a quiet and clever fashion.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Ruler of shadow and light! Bring power to bear and veil our visages! Onmyo!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Yee-haw! Yer an amazin' onmyoji, Lord Seimei! Ain't nobody gonna look at me and think a thing but "Sweet dang, that there's a cute little gal from the village!"

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: They're gonna be trippin' over 'emselves what to snatch us up, and that's when we trap 'em like hogs in a shack!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Yes yes, I'm glad you're pleased. Now, let us put the plan into motion. We'll pretend to get kidnapped and have them take us to their hideout.


210136 01Gozu Tenno: Someone is near, Lord Seimei.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Yes, I sensed eyes on us. Three at least, though perhaps more.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Gozu Tenno, take out your map and keep looking at it as though you're confused about the surroundings. That show should be enough to draw them out.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: As you wish, my lord.

Mukuroshu: Oy there, you lot! Unless you wish to experience the pain of an early demise, keep quiet and come along with us.

Everyone: ......

Mukuroshu: That's weird. You're all so...cooperative. Most folks usually start in with the screaming and pleading and whatnot right about now.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: (Oh, heck! That's right! A normal traveler would be hollerin' to beat the band right about now!)

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: HAAAAALP! IT'S THE MUKUROSHU! OH, WON'T SOMEBODY SAVE CUTE LITTLE OL' ME?!

Mukuroshu: Hey, how do you know who we are?!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Huh? Er, I mean, uhhh... We're smart?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Stupid fox!

Mukuroshu: Seimei! I'd heard you went missing, but never thought to find you here!

110375 01 r05Seimei: And now you idiots have left yourselves wide open. Onmyo!

Mukuroshu: Urgh!

110375 01 r05Seimei: So much for luring them out in a quiet and clever fashion.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Aw, butterbeans. I'm real sorry 'bout that.

110375 01 r05Seimei: It's fine. We'll just get one of these degenerates to cough up the location of their hideout and find it that way.

Mukuroshu: Nnngh...

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hey. You there. Listen up. Where's your hideout?

Mukuroshu: Ha! I'll never talk!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Not the chatty type, eh? Fair enough. I'll just bypass the tongue and pull what I need straight out of your tiny mind.

Mukuroshu: Hey, hold on now! Whatcha mean?!

110375 01 r05Seimei: What, you don't know about the secret onmyodo technique that allows a person to read thoughts straight out of the brain? It's really quite impressive.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Also messy, since it involves cracking open your skull, but most of the time I'm able to patch it back together with only mid-to-severe brain damage.

110375 01 r05Seimei: So, you can either cooperate and talk, or we go with Option B. You have until the count of ten. One...two...nine...

Mukuroshu: Hrk...

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Hoo-eee! That skull-crackin' deal sounds like a real barn-burner of a technique!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: There actually is no such technique. He's just doing a little manipulation.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: If it actually WERE possible to crack information out of a mind like that, we wouldn't need to be standing around here in a sad attempt to be kidnapped.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Yeah, I reckon that's one way what to be thinkin' about it.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Still, it's impressive how Lord Seimei was able to think that up so quick—even if it IS a right nasty thing what to threaten a feller with.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Okay, time's up. Get over here and make with the cracking, Gozu Tenno.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: As you wish.

Mukuroshu: No, not my brain! I need that for...stuff! I'll tell you whatever you waaaant!

Mukuroshu: Our hideout is just beyond wh... *cough*

Everyone: ?!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Lord Seimei, what is...?

210136 01Gozu Tenno: He's... He's dead!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Bah. What about the other two?

210136 01Gozu Tenno: I thought they were still knocked out on the ground, but...

210136 01Gozu Tenno: No good. They have also passed.

110375 01 r05Seimei: So if one of them lets a secret slip, it's a death sentence for every ally in the nearby area.

110375 01 r05Seimei: A merciless technique like this screams "deadly Doman curse."

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Hey, yeah! I remember runnin' across this kinda thing back when we was checkin' out the Mukuroshu in Hinomoto!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Then these three were indeed Doman's subordinates.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Which means we finally have proof that they've crossed into South Grastaea. Not much of a lead, but I'll take it.

110375 01 r05Seimei: (I swear to you, Doman, my connection with you will end in this land!)

Episode 2

An Onmyoji Showdown

110375 01 r05Seimei: O creature small of stature, become my limbs and move with my will! Onmyo!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Their hideout is probably located here in the deep woods, so go look around and see if there are any caves or structures.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Ya never cease to amaze, Lord Seimei! Makin' ten critters into shikigami at the same time is right impressive!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hmph. This was nothing.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Look here. It seems one of the birds has already returned.

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...Ah, I see. It found a cabin that looks like it would make a perfect hiding place for people. Please, lead the way.


110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Hoo-eee! That's more suspicious than a pile'a corn by the side'a the road! It's gotta be the hideout!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hide, you stupid fox! There are people coming out of the cabin!

Unknown???: ...Onmyo.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Lord Seimei, that's—

110375 01 r05Seimei: Doman.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: *gulp* He's the one what killed yer grandpappy with a curse, ain't he? The one who practices fell onmyodo!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: I dunno what kinda technique he was just usin', but I reckon it was real nasty.

110375 01 r05Seimei: No, it's just a barrier—though likely an irritatingly powerful one.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Tch. This isn't going to be easy, but we have no choice but to break through it.

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...Hm? Wait...

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...Onmyo! Haah!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Astounding, Lord Seimei! You brought Doman's barrier down in an instant!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Ya went and played us for a couple'a right fools, master! We were thinkin' it'd take all day and a night what to bring that down!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Tch.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: C'mon, Lord Seimei! Don't just ignore us like that! It ain't right!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Well, heck. He's even poutier than usual. A chicken's gonna walk all over that lip if he ain't careful.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Mayhap bein' this close to his revenge is makin' his mind go all screwy.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Doubtful. Lord Seimei is nothing if not cool and collected in a crisis.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Let's just get after him for now. It's far too dangerous for him to be storming Doman's hideout all by himself.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Right ya are. Lord Seimei! Wait uuup!


110375 01 r05Seimei: ...ONMYO!

Mukuroshu: Aaargh!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Lord Seimei, are you all right?!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Of course I am. Look around you— this base is filled with pathetic nobodies.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: And you made a right mess of 'em!

Doman: What's all this racket?! ...Hmm?

Doman: Why, if it isn't my old friend Seimei! Welcome! I'll have to prepare a suitable reception for you post-haste.

Doman: Escort him to the next life, my shikigami!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Look out! Scaries approachin'!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Save the nonsense for your sleep-talk, stupid fox; the real terrors here are not his shikigami...

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...But MINE! Onmyo!

Doman: Madness! Impossible!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Now...kill.

Doman: Graaaagh!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Well, heck! That was a whole lotta buildup for a whole lotta bull plop.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Think about it, you stupid fox—the reason our foe seemed pathetic and weak was because he WAS pathetic and weak.

110375 01 r05Seimei: It's just some chump. It's laughable that he thought he could play the role of Doman with a display like that.

Doman?: Urgh...

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Cow cuds! This Doman here was just a Mukuroshu in disguise?!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: A body double, hm. Did you know right away, Lord Seimei?

110375 01 r05Seimei: I knew the moment I examined the barrier around the cabin.

110375 01 r05Seimei: It was sloppy work, far beneath Doman.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Where ya headin' now, Lord Seimei?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Do you have to ask? I'm going to help the villagers the Mukuroshu abducted. They must be holding them somewhere inside this structure.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Hot dang! I'm gonna help, too!


Villager: Thank you for saving us!

120018 01 base portraitVillage Girl: Urgh... My legs...

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Are you all right, little one? ...Ah! Lord Seimei? What's going on?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Her mana is weak. Doman must have leeched it out with his fell onmyodo.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Had she been his victim much longer, her life would likely have been forfeit. However, she should recover now.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: What fortune! In that case, have this candy. There's nothing better for getting your strength back than some sweets!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Suckin' out somebody's mana? That Doman is a right nasty piece'a work, I tell ya what!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: I have to wonder why he came all the way to this new land just to perform such a vile and heinous act.

110375 01 r05Seimei: His reason for coming here lies elsewhere. If all he wanted was to suck the mana out of people, he could've done it in Hinomoto.

110375 01 r05Seimei: This was likely just a way to sate his own morbid curiosity, or perhaps a method of developing his fell onmyodo further.

110375 01 r05Seimei: His ultimate goal is to revitalize the mana from a dragon-vein spring, open a door to the other world—the Realm of the Dead— and acquire the Yomi chi held within.

110375 01 r05Seimei: And there might just be such a spring conveniently located in Alberia...

Villager: Um, excuse me?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Yes? What is it?

Villager: I overhead the man you called Doman earlier. He said something about heading west toward the dragon-vein spring.

Everyone: !

Villager: And when he left, he took our mayor with him to act as a guide!

Villager: Please, you have to rescue him!

110375 01 r05Seimei: We'll handle it.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: We gots to hurry, Lord Seimei!

110375 01 r05Seimei: You don't need to tell me that. Come on.

Kuzunoha & Gozu Tenno: Right!

Episode 3

End of the Road

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...No Mukuroshu in the area, and no traps from Doman.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Well, ain't that swell! Let's keep 'er movin' in that case!

110375 01 r05Seimei: ......

210136 01Gozu Tenno: You don't look happy, Lord Seimei.

110375 01 r05Seimei: No traps? No enemies? NONE? This is going far too easily.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: But don't that mean Doman just didn't expect us to track down his hideout and come a'runnin' after him?

110375 01 r05Seimei: (Could that be possible? Could he truly not have predicted this?)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (This is DOMAN we're talking about, after all—and the Doman I know is cunning and sly beyond measure.)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (There was no better ally... but also no greater enemy.)

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...ONMYO!

Doman: Ah, Seimei. You do indeed hold promise. Just look how easily you wiped out all of the enemy shikigami!

Doman: It is an utter delight that a practitioner as skilled as you should look to join the Bureau of Onmyodo!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hmph. You'll forgive me if I don't puff my chest in pride at slaying a few pathetic shikigami brought into creation by unsanctioned onmyoji.

110375 01 r05Seimei: This fight only confirms the skill of our enemy—and it seems they are nothing special at the end of the day. If we mount a quick frontal assault, they are done for.

Doman: Hmm. Perhaps. But just to be safe, let us proceed with caution.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hmm? Why are you picking up talismans from the shikigami we defeated?

Doman: Just watch. Onmyo.

Doman: Now just stand there, as you were.

110375 01 r05Seimei: You revived the enemy shikigami and made them obey you? Why?

Doman: If the enemy realizes their shikigami have been slain, it will raise the alarm.

Doman: On the other hand, if we feed them false information suggesting that naught is amiss, we invite their negligence.

110375 01 r05Seimei: That seems like a lot of trouble to go to for such a weak pack of foes.

Doman: As I said, we're simply being cautious.

Doman: When onmyoji clash, the battle begins long before they meet face-to-face.

Doman: Think, for example, of the destruction of evidence and creation of false stand-ins. Yes, the battle is begun long before the parties come before one another.

110375 01 r05Seimei: (False evidence... Inviting negligence...)

110375 01 r05Seimei: Unbelievable! What those villagers said to us...

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Huh? What about it?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Onmyo! Go, full speed!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: You sent that shikigami off at great speed, yet I understood the area to be free of traps or enemies.

110375 01 r05Seimei: I sent it to do recon on the dragon-vein spring Doman was headed for.

110375 01 r05Seimei: I can't believe that I, of all people, was so careless as to leap on the first little scrap of information dangled in front of me!

110375 01 r05Seimei: What the villager told us was actually rather strange when you think about it.

110375 01 r05Seimei: A man as distinctly sharp as Doman would never just casually drop his destination in front of others.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Goodness! You're right!

110375 01 r05Seimei: ...I knew it. The dragon-vein spring is completely abandoned.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Boy, this is all over my poor little head, I tell ya what. I'm more confused than a cow caught in a twister!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Are ya sayin' the villagers told us fibs?

110375 01 r05Seimei: No, you stupid fox—DOMAN told "fibs." The villagers deceived us unwittingly.

110375 01 r05Seimei: He intentionally said something false once he knew they would overhear.

110375 01 r05Seimei: In so doing, he could throw off the intruders who had infiltrated that hideout.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Then he already knew we were after him?

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: But how?! We was super careful!

110375 01 r05Seimei: It was likely when we defeated those Mukuroshu grunts in the forest.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Fell onmyodo knows no ethical bounds. He could've embedded talismans within their bodies, or other such methods, to inform him of their deaths.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Such a heinous, inhumane art...

110375 01 r05Seimei: Disgust won't solve anything, though. We need an actual plan.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Which means we're back at square one. Tch.

Kuzunoha & Gozu Tenno: ......

Unknown???: Why, whatever is amiss, my children? I see three long faces that look to quiver beneath the clouded skies above.

110375 01 r05Seimei: You!

Marvelous Naoto: It is indeed I, Marvelous Naoto—and my heart leaps with abject delight that we might meet again after so long a spell!

Rikugo: ...Or perhaps it is better to say that I am Rikugo, high-level shikigami of the Bureau of Onmyodo, and I have hastened to your side that I might deliver my report.

Episode 4

The Shikigami's Sacrifice

Rikugo: In the course of touring Alberia as an enka singer, I have experienced a great many people and things.

Rikugo: And one such event involving the boys and girls of Quinbell had a brightness not unlike sunny skies after a lengthy rain...

Rikugo: Ah, but forgive my getting lost in recollection in a place like this. You all appear to be in a most critical moment, so I will make haste with my report.

Rikugo: I have conducted the secret field survey of Alberia you asked of me, Lord Seimei.

Rikugo: From large to small, I have recorded the location and condition of each and every dragon-vein spring in the area. Behold!

110375 01 r05Seimei: You've done well, Rikugo. This should get us somewhere.

110375 01 r05Seimei: The Mukuroshu's goal has always been to use mana from dragon-vein springs to open a gate to the Realm of the Dead.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Doman clearly led us on a merry chase and took advantage of the opening it gave him to head for such a spring.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Now hang on just a dad-gummed minute! There's THIS many springs?!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: We'd have a better chance to step clean through a pigsty than we would findin' the exact one where he's at!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Hmph. Use your head, you stupid fox. We're talking about a spring Doman would WANT, which means it's both large and of very high quality.

110375 01 r05Seimei: If we exclude all the smaller dragon-vein springs from our list of potentials, the number is more manageable.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Hoo-eee, but yer noggin is the biggest noggin around, Lord Seimei! Lemme take a look at that there map... Hrm...

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Well, heck. There's still over a hundred of the gall-danged things!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: She's right. Even with the numbers culled, carefully searching this many springs is going to be most difficult.

110375 01 r05Seimei: We'll lose the trail if we take much longer.

110375 01 r05Seimei: He's been hiding in the darkness for so long...and we are now SO close.

110375 01 r05Seimei: We are going to nail him this time— by ANY means necessary!

Rikugo: I understand your feelings, my lord, and offer up a suggestion...

Rikugo: Absorb me, and use the power as you will.

Everyone: What?!

Rikugo: I am a high-level shikigami, created by the efforts of the onmyoji at the Bureau.

Rikugo: In essence, I am a being of pure mana. If you absorb me and use it, you could easily send forth shikigami to a hundred dragon-vein springs—or even more!

110375 01 r05Seimei: That's true, and yet...

Rikugo: You said by any means necessary. Why do you hesitate?

110375 01 r05Seimei: ......

110375 01 r05Seimei: (Because you're not just any shikigami to me, Rikugo...)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (My departed grandfather's mana is also a part of you.)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (And that makes you a memento of him.)

Rikugo: This simply isn't like you, Lord Seimei.

Rikugo: Now, I know it is not my place to insist you divulge the things that torment you or those better left unsaid...

Rikugo: But you must hold to your resolve. The Seimei I know would always do thus.

110375 01 r05Seimei: !

110375 01 r05Seimei: Grandfather?! What's wrong?! What in the world happened?!

Seimei's Grandfather: Seimei... Be wary... He betrayed us... for the Mukuroshu...

110375 01 r05Seimei: No... This can't be!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Answer me, Grandfather! Please! GRANDFATHER!

Doman: Why hello, Seimei! I owe you a good deal of thanks, for without your aiding my research into the fell onmyodo arts, none of this would have been possible.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Tell me it's not true, Doman! Tell me you didn't use the Kodoku curse on everyone in the Bureau!

Doman: Ah, but I did EXACTLY that.

110375 01 r05Seimei: But why?! How could you so callously steal away this many lives?!

Doman: For power. What possible problem could there be with that?

Doman: To master their arts and acquire power is the deeply held desire of any and all with even a modicum of talent.

Doman: It is because of our shared goal that you chose to wash your hands of the other Bureau onmyoji and aid my research, no?

110375 01 r05Seimei: You twist my actions!

Doman: And now the Kodoku curse has finally been invoked, thanks to the lives of the mediocre onmyoji who now serve as its foundation!

Doman: Rejoice, Seimei! This is the spectacle we have strived after for so long!

110375 01 r05Seimei: This hellscape is never what I wanted!

110375 01 r05Seimei: They're all dead, and the responsibility for those deaths all come back to...

Doman: Alas, I fear the time has come for us to part, my dear Seimei.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Doman, wait!

Doman: But I will SO be looking forward to your coming after me!

Doman: For now, each of us must bring out greater mastery of our art in the other so that one day we might settle this for good and all!

110375 01 r05Seimei: DAMN YOU, DOMAN!

110375 01 r05Seimei: (That day, I swore to pursue him to the ends of the earth to take my revenge for what he did to Grandfather.)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (It was my mistake to aid his research— and as an onmyoji, I have to take responsibility for that.)

110375 01 r05Seimei: (Which is why this must be done!)

110375 01 r05Seimei: Very well, Rikugo. I will use your power.

Rikugo: Excellent.

110375 01 r05Seimei: O ruler of peace and harmony! Free thy attendant from his charge and guide his power unto me. ...ONMYO!

Kuzunoha & Gozu Tenno: ......

Rikugo: Do not be sad, friends; mine has always been a transient existence.

Rikugo: As water flows between sky and earth, a thing returns to what it must be and the place it must go. That is all this is.

Rikugo: Now, spare not your smiles as you see your friend off.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Thank you for your hard work, Rikugo.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: We owe ya heaps'n heaps—but we'll make sure to catch that nasty Doman and make all this here fuss worthwhile!

Rikugo: It is an extremely delightful occasion for one to be hailed by admissions of gratitude like drops in a rainstorm...

110375 01 r05Seimei: This... It's all the mana from the Bureau's onmyoji...

110375 01 r05Seimei: Thank you, Rikugo. Thank you, Grandfather. I will see this power used for justice!

110375 01 r05Seimei: O creature small of stature. Become my limbs and move with my will! ...ONMYO!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Look at them all go!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Yee-haw! Don't make no nevermind HOW many springs there is, 'cause we'll have 'em scouted in two shakes'a my fuzzy tail!

110375 01 r05Seimei: (Incredible... Everything the birds see is being sent directly to me...)


110375 01 r05Seimei: (...No. This is not the one.)


110375 01 r05Seimei: (...Doman is not here, either.)


110375 01 r05Seimei: (Ah! There he is!)


110375 01 r05Seimei: Move fast, you two.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Then you have discovered him?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Dead to rights—and this time, he's NOT getting away.

Episode 5

Good and Evil in the Balance

Doman: Heh heh... This dragon-vein spring is replete with fine mana.

Doman: It is perfectly suited to opening the Realm of the Dead and allowing me to acquire Yomi chi!

Village Chief: No! The mana fount! The blessing of this land is being polluted!

Unknown???: Onmyo!

Doman: Oh? What have we here?

110375 01 r05Seimei: We meet again, Doman!

Doman: Ah, Seimei! I'd been wondering who the persistent little devil on my heels was, but never imagined it might be you.

Doman: And in this place, so far from Hinomoto, we may finally pit our skills against one another. Ah, but it is the height of rapture for me! Is it not the same for you?

110375 01 r05Seimei: Oh, I'm thrilled, all right...

110375 01 r05Seimei: Because it means I can finally put an end to the damn connection between us!

Doman: My, how callous. How about we enjoy this thrilling pursuit a little while longer?

Doman: Easy, you two. Stand down. Nothing will do but for Seimei and I to settle this between ourselves alone.

Mukuroshu: ......

Doman: Hmm? Did you not hear my command? I told you to stand down.

Doman: No! It can't be!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Now! Scatter the talismans!

Doman: You disguised yourselves as my subordinates? How wonderful!

110375 01 r05Seimei: ONMYO!

Doman: Such power!

Mukuroshu: Hold on, Lord Doman!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Leave the Mukuroshu to us!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: You just work on keepin' that there barrier goin', Lord Seimei!

Doman: I must admit, I did not anticipate this particular play.

Doman: That wyrm is the one with whom you've sworn a pact, and the girl there is clearly a fox you made into a shikigami.

Doman: Good gracious, I almost can't believe it. Lord Seimei—the eternal lone wolf— now lets others do his fighting for him!

110375 01 r05Seimei: I'm not the person you once knew.

Doman: Heh... AAAAH HA HA HA HA!

110375 01 r05Seimei: What in the...? There's some sort of strange mana pouring out of Doman!

Doman: You do appear to have changed, Seimei. However, I have ALSO changed!

Doman: This is the new power I have acquired! It is Yomi chi, the power that fills a world beyond our own!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Damn! The barrier's not holding!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Kuzunoha! Gozu Tenno! Get back! The miasma's going to flood out!

Village Chief: Eeeeeek!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Protect him! Onmyo!

Doman: Farewell for now, my dear Seimei. Until we meet again!

210136 01Gozu Tenno: No! Wait! WAIT!

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: We gotta hurry after 'em!

110375 01 r05Seimei: No. Things here are more pressing.

Village Chief: AAAAAAH!

110375 01 r05Seimei: I recognize that strange mana. It's just like Doman's deadly curse.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: Why would it target the mayor, though? He has nothing to do with the Mukuroshu!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Perhaps to keep him quiet about what he knows—or perhaps to slow us down.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Whatever the reason, we can't let him die. I'm going to try to break the spell.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Tch. Fell onmyodo again. I doubt this can be undone by any normal means.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Well ya gotta do SOMETHIN'!

110375 01 r05Seimei: There is a way. Just one.

110375 01 r05Seimei: If I use up all of Rikugo's power, I should be able to brute-force even a fell onmyodo curse like this.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: But if ya do that, the power...

110375 01 r05Seimei: I know.

110375 01 r05Seimei: (Rikugo's power—Grandfather's power— will be gone from me forever.)

Village Chief: AAAAAUGH!

110375 01 r05Seimei: (There is no choice. I must!)

110375 01 r05Seimei: Answer me, Grandfather! Please!

110375 01 r05Seimei: (I'll never again let an innocent life succumb to a curse before my eyes!)

Village Chief: Huh? I feel...better...

110375 01 r05Seimei: Relax. You're all right now.

110375 01 r05Seimei: And I hope you have many long years ahead of you, Grandfa... Er, Mayor, sir.

Kuzunoha & Gozu Tenno: Heh heh.

110375 01 r05Seimei: What're you two smirking for?

110375 01 r05Seimei: If you annoy me, I'll leave you here and go after Doman myself.

110374 01 r05Kuzunoha: Then ya know where he's headed?!

110375 01 r05Seimei: Of course I do. I planted a tracking talisman on one of his Mukuroshu grunts.

210136 01Gozu Tenno: You what?! When?!

110375 01 r05Seimei: While they were distracted by the protective talisman. Always good to be prepared, don't you think?

110375 01 r05Seimei: It looks like they're headed southwest.

110375 01 r05Seimei: There's a little place there called the Halidom that's likely caught their eye.

110375 01 r05Seimei: Rikugo's report said the seventh scion lives there, and that he's something of a big deal. But what about the castle could possibly interest them so...?

With that, Seimei made his way to the prince.
And there, with the Halidom as the backdrop,
justice and wickedness—and the two onmyoji—
finally had their showdown.
