That was fun! It's thanks to you.
Yasumori Construction is now down to Tokujiro...
Are you okay with the village dying out?!
They may be planning to turn this place into an okiagari village.
It seems that Kaori has gotten close to Natsuno Yuuki lately.
You be careful, too, Mr. Tanaka.
If... If! keep running like this...
But... It feels as if I've lost my arms and legs.
My entire body feels completely drained of energy.

"Saturday, October 8, Shakku"
"Mitsuo Tadokoro, Temple Employee in Charge of Incidental Duties"
PUT}?
Good morning.
Good morning, Junior Monk.
Good morning, Chiyo! You're always here early.
The temple has many patrons. But this is still the countryside.
h' it weren't for their offers of help, we really would be unable to keep up.
"lkebe, Assistant Monk at the Temple"
Good morning.
Morning!
The population of the village is gradually getting smaller.
--Oh, thanks! --But everyone's still behaving as usual this morning.
--Geez, I'm not gonna give you any today. --But everyone's still behaving as usual this morning.
--What're you saying? Yours is mine. --And yet, I'm...
--You're always like that! --And yet, I'm...
"Pendant" "Bath" "Room" "Restroom"
"Shinmei Muroi, Head Monk, Seishin's Father"
We're ready for the next patient.
PUT}?
Yasuyo, take him to the treatment room.
Y-Yes, Doctor!
Tokujiro...
Your wife, Setsuko, told me before she died that she had a dream about Nao.
Yeah...
Nao, huh...?
So did I.
As I suspected, it's Nao again.
I see... Don't get too down, okay?
Atsuko...
Yes'?
I think Tokujiro should be hospitalized just to be on the safe side.
I don't want to.
What?
Tokujiro!
I don't want to be hospitalized. I'm not leaving the house.
I have to maintain my family's Buddhist altar.
I'll take care of it.
No! Setsuko died even though she was hospitalized.
I can't leave the house because I've got the family Buddhist altar and my work.
So leave me alone!
It's as if he's reading lines that he memorized in a singsong tone.
Nao might've given him careful instructions on what to say.
The other day when I made a house call
to Isami Maeda's house in Shimo-Sotoba, too...
"lsami Maeda, JA Employee"
I just can't keep from worrying.
They probably started making their victims say that
so that I can't hospitalize them.
What should I do?
Toshio...
Mom...
There's an emergency.
PUT}?
Kyoko is on the floor in her room.
What?!
Shinmei!
I'm going to see how Tokujiro's doing!
Mom!
Dad!
I suggested calling instead...
--No... --...because visiting will be difficult for your father, but...
I'm going to see how Tokujiro's doing!
He said he'd go even if he had to crawl.
--Tokujiro... I'm going to see how he's doing. "Shinmei!
Ah!
H-Head Monk!
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?!
Nothing...
I'm just going to see how he's doing. I'm just going...
KyQkQ!
Cyanosis... Respiratory distress...
They got her!
She didn't come out even when I called her name for the past 2-3 days,
so I came in from outside... since the window was open. Then...
Mom! Call Muto and the others in here! Also, I need a stretcher, too!
Wha... I don't want to!
Why do I have to do the job of a lowly clinic worker?
Get going!
You owe me one, okay, Kyoko?
Come to think of it, Kyoko has been strangely quiet lately.
What made me think that they'd avoid us when they do their business?
The Ozakis' house was already open to okiagari.
Doctor, the Junior Monk is on the phone.
Seishin...
I haven't seen him since that time.
Looking back, I feel that a strange rift has developed between us since then.
I'm transferring the line now.
"Recovery Room"
Yeah, the same stuff.
How terrible... How is she?
Not good.
Toshio... He's blaming himself again.
Well, my father says that he wants to go see how Tokujiro is doing.
He heard Tokujiro isn't doing well from my mother.
I called the Yasumori family to see if it was okay to visit them.
But I was told that he went to the clinic, so...
I see... But was your father that close to Tokujiro?
I don't know.
But they've known each other for a long time.
Well, the Yasumoris are one of the four families
who bring together temple patrons.
Yeah. His wife, Setsuko, brought the wives of the temple patrons together,
so my father may be worried about Tokujiro becoming alone.
I see. I think he should be back home by now. Why don't you try calling them?
Yeah.
Toshio...
PUT}?
L...
What is it?
Well... are you gonna be okay protecting Kyoko by yourself?
Yeah. I'll figure something out.
You should hurry up...
as Dad may come to check on me.
I wanna go over there by the window for you...
but I can't get up.
Even at this point,
I'm hoping that Toru would change his mind and run with me.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
Somehow... I got the feeling...
that I can't get out of this village.
Water?
No... it's tears.
The cold tears of a vampire, whose body is without warmth...
Azusa?!
Where'd she go? Hm?
"I saw that Natsuno is dead.
I can no longer stay in this village.
I can no longer stand you or this village.
Goodbye. Azusa.“
Azusa! Where are you?!
This is a bad joke.
What's going on?!
Ah... Good morn
Mr. Tsurumi...?
Tsurumi looked pale so I sent him home.
He was fine yesterday, though.
I hope he didn't get a strange disease.
Hey, please stop it, Mitsuo.
PUT}?
To be honest, I'm scared, too.
I somehow feel like something terrible is happening.
But, even if I want to escape,
since I was born and raised in the village, I don't know where to escape to.
Hey, hey. If the temple runs away, who'd mourn for the dead?
Yeah, you're right.
Ah... that reminds me... I heard that there's a new funeral home.
A funeral home?
You know, the woodworking shop in Hirokane in Kami-Sotoba...
They moved recently so that place was empty, right?
They made the funeral home there.
--I seriously feel like getting outta-- --For Pete's sake!
Even if we have many dead people, to think that we have a funeral home now...
We have funeral teams in the village!
This is the problem with outsiders!
Atsuko, Junko... I'm sorry to call on you so suddenly.
Not at all. We do appreciate the Head Monk taking time to come visit us.
Tokujiro. We came to see how you're doing.
My father insisted on visiting you.
I see...
We can go now.
Neither of them said anything in particular.
The meeting was, as if, to say goodbye.
Seishin...
Yes'?
Were Setsuko and Mikiyasu like that, too?
Yes.
That is spreading in the village?
I think so.
I see...
Is it possible that my father knows something?
No... it can't be...
Dammit...
Why...? Why?!
Hello! Natsuno's dad! How's Natsuno doing?!
Why aren't you coming out?!
Akira! You're bothering them by banging on the door like that.
What else can I do? He won't come out.
Mr... Yuuki...
Atelier Koide is very busy today with boneless tables.
Huh? Wha...
I don't have any for children. So go home.
--Excuse me, how's Natsuno?! --Hey, hey. Leave him alone.
There was a hearse in front of that house this morning.
They were carrying a coffin into the car.
Someone must've died.
I should've forced myself to stand watch outside to protect Natsuno.
If I had...
Mr. Yuuki said that he'd cooperate... When we finally got him to understand...
What... is going to happen now?
In any case, let's lock the house up good.
Natsuno also said that we should never let okiagari in the house, right?
Locking up the house won't work.
I wonder if it's Dad.
Seriously, to think that you had to work on the weekend!
Don't make me cook dinner for you at this late hour!
On top of that, you work overtime every day and don't get home until late.
Why're you working so much overtime at the village office?
I bet you're barhopping with your colleagues, aren't you?!
Mom, we're gonna go to bed now. Did you lock all the windows?
Shut up! What do you think I am?! I'm not a housekeeper!
L-I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize. Go ahead and do what you want!
"Ebuchi Clinic"
Seriously, don't go barhopping and end up making frequent visits to a doctor!
Give me a break!
Kaori! Go to bed already!
Y-Yes ma'am!
I feel good!
Making someone I hate suffer feels really great!
"Monday, October 10, Tomobiki"
Hey, how's the younger Mrs. Ozaki doing?
You saw her, right, Yasuyo?
Hmm... I attended her treatment yesterday,
but I bet she's already in the later stage of the sickness.
Respiratory failure, jaundice...
DIC, disseminated intravascular coagulation...
Once someone falls into that condition, there may be nothing we can do.
But I think the doctor wants to somehow extend her life with his own hands.
I'll take care of the rest...
including meals, changing her clothes, everything... I won't trouble you guys.
So he said.
So he is no different from anyone else after all.
He's got more of a warm heart than I expected.
Come to think of it, Ritsuko, aren't you friends with the son of the atelier owner?
Hm? Oh, I've talked with him a few times.
They said that someone at the atelier died.
What?!
I don't know if it was his wife or son that died,
but I heard that the car from the funeral home was there.
Ah, Doctor...
E-Excuse me, Doctor, let someone help you.
No, that's not necessary.
Don't worry about it.

Aa...
Since I'm not shiki,
if I treat the lives of both shiki and humans as if they're equal,
I feel that this action is an impudent behavior as a human being.
Looking down upon humans and looking down upon shiki as well...
That is God's point of view.
However, I'm only human.
Then the answer should be obvious.
