Oori?
Brother...
You look confused.
Yeah.
What are you doing here anyway?
Couldn't you get any sleep?
I can't sleep...
on such a pleasant night.
What was that?
Keisei's energy...
Maybe your connection has been broken?
I heard Shikabane Himes and Contracted Priests are connected.
If that's true, you should know...
that your Contracted Priest just died.
You're lying!
This bastard's body...
Now I'm gonna have some fun.
Just like the time you were human.
So the priest was a Corpse himself.
That could explain why the Shichisei were after him.
All the rest of his followers who were employed there were murdered shortly after.
It's just like a chain of deaths.
Bishop!
Big trouble!
Outside!
What's this?
It's a Jinchi.
It is one of the Corpses' curses.
It creates a space to surround its enemies.
But a weak Jinchi like this couldn't possibly stop us from getting through.
The enemies probably just want to slow us down.
Who they're really after is...
Tagami Shikei and Makina-chan!
Let's hear those shitty priests' cries.
Shall we kill them after all?
So sorry, brother.
I wanted to put you to rest in one shot but...
it's difficult to control a body you're not used to.
You are one of the Shichisei.
But...
I'll end it with this.
Hey, hey.
Don't forget this is your little brother.
I know that.
That is why...
I wont let you use Oori any longer!
Katsu!
This guy?!
Brother?
His energy?!
This is...
The living's energy can be really strong.
Only thing left now is to enjoy the show.
Brother?!
It seems like you've come to your senses.
That wound...
So that really wasn't a dream?
I stabbed...
Being stabbed by a brat like you won't do me anything.
At least as long as the souma works.
Shikei.
You are too naive.
Oori!
Get out!
Oori!
There.
Again.
Just like I said.
You are too naive.
Geez!
This is so shady!
May I?
As you wish.
Show it to them.
Show them why they call you the Tsurugi Hime.
Note: Tsurugi Hime means Sword princess
Yes.
Bishop.
So this is the most powerful Shikabane Hime?
The Jinchi will break soon.
But we've saved enough time.
You still have the power to resist?
That means your boyfriend isn't quite dead yet.
But it's only a matter of time.
When that Contracted Priest dies you'll just be another Co—
You can't defeat me!
Because I don't have a body you can shred into pieces!
I was granted this form when I became a Shichisei-member.
Now I can go wherever I want, and live on for eternity!
I forgot to mention something.
I can change this body's shape whenever I want.
Sometimes I'm a gassy cloud, sometimes I'm an inflammable fluid.
What I've been longing for this whole time was to assassinate you all.
The attachment that made me a Corpse.
But that wasn't enough.
Is that attachment not enough?
Fool!
You ignited me again!
Keisei.
I finally got what I came for.
The eye of a Contracted Priest filled with despair.
It's ten times more powerful than those of the dead.
Don't touch me with those hands.
No.
Keisei?
No!
Such immature words don't suit you.
Don't forget that you are just a Corpse now.
Now I shall unveil that identify in front of Keisei's corpse.
Shikei?
Impossible!
Keisei?
So here you are?
Little girl!
Makina!
I'm going to blow you up!
W- What's this?!
What?
What is this?
The Shikimi's poison has covered your whole body.
But...
If you bit that with your own mouth, you'll also—
You just won't shut up, will you?
Keisei.
Did you realize it?
You're within my range right now!
Open!
My Zadan!
This is a sutra?
This allows him to damage Corpses, but it also damages his own body.
I see.
Those eyes!
Those are the eyes of a man who accepted death.
Keisei.
What are you doing?
Keisei?
I'm losing my strength.
Shikei?!
Don't you want to live?!
Don't you want to know the truth?!
I don't need it!
Shikei!
I don't need a truth that would make me kill my own Shikabane Hime like you did!
I don't want to know it!
This is?!
Keisei?
Please, Keisei?
It's your fault.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize!
Don't apologize.
I'll kill you if you apologize again.
What happened to Keisei isn't your fault.
He just protected his family and his beliefs.
You certainly didn't make this happen!
It was never this world which I was attached to.
Oori, there is something I want to ask of you.
I want you to save Makina and the others in my place.
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean you want to pass on the contract?
Yeah.
I won't forgive you.
I can't forgive you for that.
You are my one and only Contracted Priest.
I'm sorry, Makina.
I can't go on any longer.
You should know in which state I am now.
There's no time for me to explain my reasons to you either.
You may disagree with this.
But you know what happened to Minai, right?
Shikabane Hime who lose their Contracted Priest die or become a mere Corpse.
I don't want that to happen to Makina.
I don't care about what happens to me!
I died once already.
Keisei.
I'll do it.
Shingon.
Note: Shingon means new connection
I hope you two will understand.
My existence will fade.
Without any complaints or regrets.
I have come to accept and forgive.
And I am ready to fade or be transformed into a new being.
Flesh!
I want that flesh!
Of all the Corpses you've captured!
I understand.
I'll kill everyone who opposes me!
The process will be completed when he wakes up.
Take Oori somewhere safe.
Not me.
Oori.
I'm taking you to a hospital.
I'll contact the Honzan.
Makina.
I can't.
I can't do that.
I can't give up on your life, Keisei.
Please, go to Oori.
No.
I don't want you to die, Keisei.
I'm sorry, Makina.
I wasn't able to keep my promise.
Promise?
The one about me fighting with you together.
I don't care about such a promise anymore.
Please live.
Live, Keisei!
You don't have to fight anymore.
Live.
Thank you, Makina.
The days we've fought together weren't bad.
It's been fun.
So please, smile.
I want to see your smiling face one last time.
Kei...
Please smile for me, Makina.
So I can tell myself I've saved you from this living hell.
If Keisei still longs for something or has an attachment to this world...
there is a chance he could become a Corpse.
If only a Corpse...
If he will continue living...
Keisei?
Look at me.
Keisei?
We're going to Takami Shikei!
We're going on ahead.
Bishop?
Sadahiro?
Are you still awake?
We're going home.
But if Tagami Keisei finds out...
You don't have to worry about that.
Probably.
Where are you?!
That fucking dead Shikabane Hime!
Where is she?!
I'm here!
I'm going to erase...
All of you...
From my sight!
Don't exaggerate!
You're just a dead little girl!
Disappear!
From my sight...
From my memory...
From this world!
Where's that strength coming from?
She's like a completely different person!
It can't be!
Is that really Hoshimura-san?
Really?
This is a curse.
A curse that makes her stronger than a Shikabane Hime can really be.
She's cursing the Corpse.
But!
Hoshimura-san?
Ouch!
What's this?
My hands are burning.
It hurts.
Such fearful power.
But Shikei...
Your Shikabane Hime is extracting strength from her new Contracted Priest by draining his life.
A child who has gotten no training at all, can't take that.
He will die.
Makina...
This is what you longed for.
Let me go!
You have a brain.
I'm just going to change your form.
Stop.
Stop it!
I...
I want to live.
I don't care what shape I'll be.
I just want to live!
I'll return the exact same words you said to me two years ago.
You're pitiful.
What are you going to do with that boy?
We have an orphanage.
Are you going to raise him?
I have no choice.
I want to see this boy smile.
My attachment to this boy...
This is the end.
The dawn has come.
During this long night...
The night I became sixteen...
I lost the person who was my father, brother and friend...
And became a Contracted Priest.
Keisei's funeral you say?
A funeral is just like a dinner party for Corpses.
At this special farewell ceremony for Contracted Priests...
a new world unknown to you will be unveiled.
