Ah, Makoto.
Yo.
Are you going to Kumada as well?
What about you?
Yeah, I'm visiting Kei.
Kei is making a really scary face.
Hey, dad, do you really need to go through my body?
It didn't work after all?
They ate more sugar than I had predicted.
You should give up for this year.
Just try it over again next year.
Tarou.
Yes?
Your father has come home.
I'll prepare dinner.
Mom?
What?
If sis were to be...
reincarnated and living happily right now, would you be pleased?
I don't know.
I'm waiting for the day when you're old enough to spend time with me, drinking alcohol and listening to jazz.
But that means I would have to age as well.
I didn't know you thought about such things.
Tarou, don't say strange things to your mom too often.
I know that you're trying to care for her in your own way.
How's it going with Kei's new sake?
She failed.
The new bacteria ate more sugar than she had calculated.
New bacteria...
The conditions she gave them were too good, I guess.
They were too active.
I startled those bacteria...
Well, a failure is also an experience.
I guess it's a valuable process as a brewer.
I'm going to Kei's place.
Kei returned to Kumada.
She said she had to report to grandpa.
Therefore, I have to go apologize to Kei.
Why are you going to Kumada?
Are you visiting your mom?
What do you think about it?
Think about what?
The idea of my sister being incarnated as someone else.
Are you talking about Miyako?
I've been wondering why I always think so much about her.
But somehow, I also had the feeling that it could be this way.
I have nothing to say about that.
Why's that?
That attendant is still here, even though the old hag died,
and I can't get rid of the feeling that she's up to something evil.
Thanks.
The Ogami, you say? They're suspicious, in fact.
Well, I guess they aren't related to my current target.
Yeah, 00-02.
Thanks for all this.
I owe you.
Eh? The one over here? The corpse in the dam, you mean.
The DNA tests say it's probably not Japanese.
Yeah. Right.
It seems that there are many people coming from abroad to Japan Biotech.
And how's your work going? I heard that people call you guys the Tonoda trio.
The information I gather will only be piled up somewhere without being read by anybody.
Rather, I'd say...
Does that mean they'll use Miyako as the replacement for your grandma?
I won't let them do as they please! So long as I'm here...
As long as you're here? Are you planning on leaving this place?
I killed grandma with a Kotodama.
TL note: "Kotodama" means "word ghost." It is spiritual power connected to certain words.
Sakanagi will come some day.
Sakanagi?
Someone who curses a person will inevitably be punished for it.
Miyako is possessed by the Hitokotonushi, but Miyako is...
I thought you were a bit suspicious, saying that you're part of the regional press staff.
Well, that's...
When you interviewed us, you asked a lot of weird things.
Well, you see...
I phoned the regional press office.
They just told me that they didn't send anybody here to Suitenchou.
Pretty troublesome for you, right?
But you know, we aren't thinking of reporting you.
There's a lot I want to know.
What do you think? Give and take.
So you mean exchanging information?
Has a guest been here?
No, it's nothing.
I'm going to Kei's place now. What about you, Makoto?
I'll accompany you.
Me?
You said you wanted to apologize. Let's go.
Y-Yeah.
So, was Kei's previous master brewer your grandpa?
Yeah, he was called Brewer Kumada, and he's famous among the brewers in this region.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Just like in Suitenchou, there's nothing interesting here in Kumada.
D-Do you think so?
Have you been here before?
Perhaps when I was a little kid, I can't remember.
I see... I wonder what the oldest thing I can remember is.
I also can't remember that incident clearly...
But I want to. So I...
Er, today is the third of March.
My dream today was inside that hospital again.
I was trying to speak to sis.
Sis doesn't open her eyes, no matter what I say.
Perhaps I got a little tired and slept a bit.
Why did all this happen?
I...
Did this all happen because I got angry with her and went to her school?
When I think that I...
Tarou, you mustn't cry.
Sis...
You'll probably listen, won't you, Taro?
You mustn't die...
Right, Taro?
Sis was saying something to me.
Dr. Frankenstein, if you'd give me the information about your research project sooner, you can avoid destroying your family.
To be honest, I work for a judicial institution that doesn't officially exist.
Therefore, you have to promise me that you'll keep this a secret. You know what I mean, right?
I came here to inspect the research facility of Japan Bio Industry.
It's not like they're doing anything dangerous there.
But that facility is very important for the national benefit of Japan, and many people,
even those from foreign countries, are trying to steal information.
Like you heard me saying, the corpse found at the dam was probably an industry spy.
That's pretty much assumable.
I wonder what my father is researching.
So you don't know anything.
I don't even have proper conversations with my dad.
Well, I guess it's natural when you're at that age...
Ah, Tarou?
What are you doing here?
Er, yeah... This is Makoto, a friend from my junior high.
Grandpa hasn't been feeling well recently, so I'm taking care of him.
Is grandpa okay?
He isn't as young as he used to be.
He's sleeping at the moment.
Um, there is something I must apologize for.
You? What could you mean?
You were planning on using a new bacteria, right?
I heard that from dad, and...
Yeah, but that's because I messed up the breeding.
No, it's because I startled the bacteria!
What? But the key...
T-That's...
I opened it.
But I'm the one who's at fault.
Although you told me not to go in there, I thought it'd be interesting seeing all that new life.
But then I startled them...
It's okay, the director forgave me.
Well, in former times one would've been fired for that.
There wasn't much of a loss, though, because I noticed it early.
Luckily, the genmai-sake is better than last year's, too.
I see...
I was planning on returning next week. You didn't need to come all the way here.
No.
Oh, sorry. Help yourself, Makoto.
Welcome home!
Y-Yeah...
A friend of mine is here. Michio!
Hello.
Oh, welcome.
There's something wrong with the Internet. Could you check if the router's working properly?
Wait a minute.
It's a great place, just what I'd expect from a scientist's room.
There isn't anything abnormal.
I see. Then it's a problem with my computer, I guess.
Thank you.
I'll accompany you wherever you want to go.
It's okay, you should go home now.
I don't mind.
Thanks for helping me out back there.
I said it's okay!
You'll accompany me?
Okay, but where to?
Sir Makoto, the princess has passed away, but the Ogami family has to go on as before.
No, or with even more effort towards honoring the family, just like when the princess was young.
Do as you like.
I'm planning on waiting here until you've decided to succeed the family.
I won't make such a decision.
But if you do anything to that girl from the Kameiwa shrine, I won't forgive you.
Without any action on my part, that girl is a born miko who says and does mysterious things.
You guys are crazy.
Sanae... So this is, after all, your mother's...
Makoto, what have you brought?
You guys...
M-Makoto?
The country of Yamato is said to be the country of the Kotodama.
But the idea of spiritual power linked to certain words is not something only found in Japan.
In the concept of Lobos of ancient Greece, words are described as sacred or even as god himself.
If it's a bad word or a god word, the true wish of the one who speaks is carved onto the words.
Thus, these words will strongly influence the speaker himself as well as his envoirment.
