There's probably only one chance to reverse this situation.
So... they're all okiagari...
I'm going to quit the clinic, too.
I want to see the village die out.
"Wednesday, November 2, Senshou"
Since that place became full,
they bring the ones that they couldn't keep there to the mountain huts.
Sounds like a pain.
Not really. I manage five huts but all I do is just go around and check.
If they rise up after a few days, I send them to Yamairi.
If they start decomposing, I bury them like this. That's all I have to do.
I see...
It's good to have a job. It gives your life purpose in its own way.
A flower that cut itself off from the morning light
begs for the rain that doesn't come and falls into an endless sleep
I hear a soft voice that's calling out for someone
is this dark paradise a lie or a dream?
What I'll lose is my body and my sense of self
If I offer them up as payment, what will I gain in return?
Life is so fragile and fleeting that I can steal it away with my tears
Do you bemoan the death that comes for us all as a thing to be "feared"?
The calendula that sings of the curtain's fall quietly blossoms into full bloom
Whether it's hatred or sadness, it pulls it in by its root
The calendula that sings of life's end soaks up the loneliness
It begs for the rain that doesn't come and falls into an endless sleep
"Thursday, November 3, Butsumetsu"
I did it, Natsuno! I killed off an okiagari!
See? I'm dependable, aren't I?
Koide Atelier is reopening after renovation!
--There're lots of detailed ideas in the okiagari section!
--Hi! --There're lots of detailed ideas in the okiagari section!
Ah! If I get exhausted, I'll become the yolk in a boiled egg!
--I can see Azusa's happy face! --Mr. Yuuki, may I come in?
The showroom opens in the morning!
Please come in.
So? What do you want?
I wish you had told me that you rose up.
I didn't realize I was obligated to.
Well, it's true that it may not be an obligation.
Do you know about jinrou?
That refers to people like you and me, right?
You're a smart young man as I thought. Jinrou is a subspecies of shiki.
I've seen only four of them, including you.
You can say that we're a rare species.
Sunako named us jinrou.
In movies, vampires are often accompanied by a werewolf, right?
Don't know... I've never seen any like that.
By the way, with regards to Akira Tanaka, one of your few friends...
I haven't seen him around much these days. I wonder what happened.
Beats me.
As expected, you haven't been sucking blood, have you?
Jinrou breathe and have a pulse.
They can walk around during the day and can survive on normal food, too.
They have strengthened physical abilities,
and their five senses are more than twice as superb as humans'.
However, if they don't suck blood, they can't exhibit that natural ability.
What do you want to do? I can keep this up and kill you, too.
Personally, I think we should kill you.
But Sunako wishes for the number of our kind to grow.
I'll give you a little more time to think about it. Come to our side.
If you keep up your funny attitude... I'll come back another time to kill you.
"Yamairi Area, Sotoba"
"Friday, November 4, Taian"
Yahoo!
Wh-What the heck is that?!
That's the son of the liquor store owner.
Looks like something inside him broke free after he was freed from his dad.
I heard that he's happily going around killing people,
saying that he gained the privilege to kill.
What is that?! Isn't he getting too carried away for a newbie?!
Shouldn't we tell Yoshie?!
Seriously, everything about you is small.
Wha...
Hey, you're younger than I am! Don't talk to me like that!
This is great!
Geez... Chizuru is letting Atsushi Ookawa do whatever he wants.
She's getting too carried away.
Doesn't Sunako say anything?
She is lenient with Chizuru.
Lenient?
Their relationship is special... as if they were mother and child.
And Chizuru is the child.
Good evening, Yoshie.
--Also, Sunako's got a high opinion of you.
--Hello! --Also, Sunako's got a high opinion of you.
She's eyeing you for a high position. Though not for that reason,
I want you to come and patrol the okiagari huts in the east mountains with me.
As I thought... I don't have a pulse.
Good morning! Since I heard some noises, I thought you might have...
Ritsuko...
That's right, I'm not breathing, so...
Y-You guys... rose up, too?
Oh? So you didn't even need us to explain it to you.
I was right...
I remember at least what happened to me.
I was having intense hyperpnoea so I looked for a bag in order to treat myself,
but I couldn't find one near me.
So I tried to go find one somewhere else and then lost consciousness.
I must've died after that.
You probably did. If you know what happened, then that simplifies matters.
Toru, teach her the bare minimum needed and feed her.
Me?!
I have a feeling that some others will also rise up tonight.
So I leave things here to you.
Don't peek on her changing! I'm counting on you.
A-Anyway, change into the clothes in this. I'll be outside.
I don't need them.
I'm dead so burial clothes are enough.
Also, I don't want to have meals... as I don't want to kill anyone.
Everyone says so at first.
But they give way to starvation and attack.
It really is severe starvation.
My family must be dead by now...
The last time I saw them, both my mom and Midori looked like that.
For the time being, I'll try and see if I can do it...
since I don't want to hate myself.
Don't I have that kind of freedom of choice?
"Saturday, November 5, Shakku, The Day of the November Kagura Dance"
Tatsu! Tatsu!
Takeko died...
Last night... I heard...
"Sunny House for Your Shining Life" "Home Care Support Center"
Obey me unconditionally. No one has died in this village.
This is perfect. Thank you.
It must've been a lot of work rewriting this many charts.
Not really. When I tried to do things by following your instructions,
I was able to proceed as if I was possessed.
Sunako will be happy when she sees these, too.
She's lenient to those who're useful.
I'll try to be useful to the utmost so that she'll keep me alive.
Is there a festival going on?
Yeah. It's the November Kagura Dance.
I can't wait until all the villagers are shiki.
When that happens, I really can walk around freely.
I'll go shopping. I'll stand around and chat with my friends, too.
It's like playing house, isn't it?
Is that what you guys want?
Well, we want a safe base...
a safe place that we don't have to hide.
Just a little longer... We'll get it soon.
Will it go so smoothly?
Sunako says that the final stage is difficult.
But now that we've come this far, it's as good as a success, right?
You were the biggest threat to us but you're no longer our enemy, so...
No longer your enemy, huh?
Chizuru...
PUT}?
Let's go out on a date.
What?
What's with you, Doctor?
I'm going to die soon. Let me at least have some fun before I die.
Besides, you're so curious about the Kagura.
It's true, but...
I can't go to a ritual.
If you don't go near the crucial place, you'll be fine.
Besides, by going out in public, you can dispel the villagers' suspicion.
Is that right?
Yeah.
You're right. This is a festival. It wouldn't be fun to hide.
Okay, now that that's decided...
What?
It'd be unnatural if you and I are walking together, right?
You were trying to peel the skin of a taro potato, but the knife slipped.
A taro potato?
Yeah. You cut the base of your thumb. I treated you for that injury.
Th-That's unexpectedly detailed.
That's how reality is.
Yeah, you're right. Taro potatoes slip easily.
I often cut my hand long ago, too.
Long ago? How long ago?
Don't try to find out a woman's age like that.
Were you married? Did you have any children?
My husband didn't stay by my side long enough to give me children,
then he died in battle in the south.
You look happy. You look as if you're staring at a ring with a huge gem.
Yeah. That feeling is very close.
It's strange... I wonder if I want to go back to being human.
I thought I didn't care about things like that anymore.
Now, let's go!
To show off the bandage?
Yeah, that's right. I'm so proud and happy about it. Is that strange?
"Ookawa Liquor Store"
"Kazuko Ookawa, Tomio Ookawa's Wife"
Good evening, Kazuko.
Good evening.
Ah... Er... G-Good evening.
This is Ms. Chizuru Kirishiki, the mistress at Kanemasa.
Oh, hello.
She asked me what this lively music was, so...
Oh... We're having a festival today
though it's not like visitors from outside the village would come.
I've never seen a kagura dance up close before.
Since I grew up in a big city, I didn't have a chance
to go to festivals and annual events.
Oh, you've noticed?
A taro potato slipped from my hand.
Oh, that often happens to me, too.
Maybe I'm a careless person by nature. I keep injuring myself,
so my daughter says that you can't tell if I'm cooking or being cooked.
Oh, that's funny.
I heard that you have a health problem.
I've been doing well lately
though it was hard due to the weather during summer.
I see.
There's a disease called photodermatosis. It's pretty tough.
Sorry to hear that.
All I have to do is stay inside the house, but when it's sunny,
I start wanting to wash the sheets and hang them in the yard.
Hey! That's why you end up having to stay in bed.
Yes, doctor.
Well, have fun.
As expected, there're lots of people out even though it's night time.
I'm not surprised. Man, I want to go to the festival, too.
Oh, Chizuru was there.
She was walking with Doctor Ozaki as if they were a couple.
She was talking very cheerfully.
How easy it is! They all looked like "Oh, what were we worked up about?"
Do you wanna go?
I want to go, but I can't.
I'm really scared. I already feel weak in the knees.
Would that actually harm you?
I don't think it would, but...
If you're scared, then hold my hand.
Isn't this somehow scandalous?
Who cares?
Then just as far as I can go...
But don't force me.
I know. Besides, I can't disobey your orders.
Oh yes, you're right.
"Munehide Murasako, Masao Murasako's Father"
That's right. She said she'd never seen a kagura dance, so...
But it seems that she isn't feeling well.
Would you like to go back?
L-I'm okay. Just a little longer.
Okay.
Munehide, it's very crowded here. If you don't mind, could you walk with us
and become a shield for her from that side?
Sure, I don't mind.
"Takeo Shimizu, Megumi's Father"
Oh, Junior Doctor!
This year's November Kagura Dance is a bit different from usual.
Everyone! The Junior Doctor is here!
What's the matter?
L-I'm going home!
Wait!
I don't feel good.
It'll actually be more work going back.
You're sweating a lot! Rest at the shrine office a bit.
No! I'm going home! This is an order!
I see... Then...
Mr. Shimizu, please give me a hand.
What's the matter?
She says she doesn't feel well, so I want to bring her to the shrine office.
What?
Sure. Now, ma'am...
What're you doi--
What? She's very cold!
Doctor! I said I'm going home!
Her body temperature decreased so she's having symptoms of bradycardia.
--Please hurry. --Okay!
Hey, what's wrong?! Can't you hear me?! I'm talking to you!
Ah!
No!
J-Junior Doctor! What happened to her?
It looks like she's somehow scared of the shrine.
The scent of this woman...
In the several days from the time Megumi collapsed and until she died,
there was the lingering scent of an adult perfume in her room for some reason.
This is that scent.
Don't let her escape. She is an okiagari.
She's the one who killed your daughter.
What?!
Mr. Shimizu, her neck! Check her pulse!
We have to think if we should call for an ambulance or not.
No!
There's no pulse!
She's an okiagari!
Huh?!
She killed my daughter! She killed my daughter!
What nonsense!
It's not nonsense! She has no pulse!
She certainly has no pulse. And she's strangely cold.
Can't be...!
"Hiroko Shimizu, Megumi's Mother"
She isn't breathing, either!
No Way!
What is she?!
Out Of my way!
Atsushi...
O-Old man...
Would you make way for us?
Atsushi!
A-Atsushi! What're you doing?!
I can't! There's no way that I can beat my old man!
That's...
Ookawa's son who died the other day.
Okiagari... An okiagari came to rescue one of his own!
Ah! Hey, don't let her get away!
She's an okiagari! She's an okiagari!
Under cover of darkness, you hold your breath
Clad in darkness, you smile softly
It's just your imagination, I'm sure no one knows you
Only the moon is gazing at you
Ahh, wandering in the endless night
Ahh, just dreaming about you
Ahh, wandering in the endless night
Ahh, just dreaming about you
Ahh...
I am a victim whose father was taken away.
So, I should curse shiki and throw stones at them.
However, there's no anger in my heart.
Rather, what exists is something like pity.
Sunako probably feels sad about killing people.
My way of thinking is separating me from the others.
