Too hot.
I'm saying you guys are making it too hot in here!
Get out! This is my parasol, 'kay?!
Hey, Kagura. I'm borrowing this parasol, okay?
Kagura.
Hey, Kagura!
Kagura-chan!
Unfortunately, this hospital doesn't have any detailed data on the Yato race.
It's all because we took Kagura-chan's premise lightly and did such a horrible thing!
I'll be staying in this room from today on, too.
So, uh...
You can relax and get some sleep.
This room is the same as the Odd Jobs you know.
Looks like he's reflected on his actions a little.
I kinda feel better now.
Kagura!
Hang in there, Kagura!
Kagura!
Th-This is bad.
Kagura-chan, hang in there!
Please come back to us, Kagura-chan!
I'm ready to come back at any time, so just give me a chance to!
She's fought long enough.
Let her rest in peace.
Give it a rest.
Keep Your Farewells Short
Kagura's request: Watch this program in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV, 'kay...
Give it a rest.
Soyo-chan!
And those guys!
Kagura-chan!
Forgive me for acting on my own, Otae-san.
But I just couldn't keep it from her.
Relax. We're not gonna make any funeral offerings.
We're only escorting the princess.
Did those guys bring Soyo-chan here? I can't believe it.
Look at all of you, going on about crap like offerings and funerals.
Knock it off. You're in the presence of the princess.
And this runt ain't dead yet.
You know she ain't the type to be killed off by something like this.
Rest assured, Princess.
She... She...
ain't gonna die until me and her settle things for good.
Sogo...
Okita-san is right.
So please, everyone.
Don't go deciding on Kagura-chan's funeral.
Quit being so cruel.
Kagura-chan is still alive.
She's still breathing!
Please, at least let her decide on her funeral herself!
Uh, you're the cruelest one here!
What do you mean, "decide on her funeral herself"?!
Kagura-chan...
I'll grant any wishes you might have.
How do you want to die?
You're telling me to choose how I die while I'm still alive?!
A natural-born sadist!
Keep your sadistic tendencies in check, Soyo-chan!
Please say something, Kagura-chan!
I know!
I'll use her talking to me to revive!
I—
What was that?
Oh, okay.
I can't breathe! What does he think he's doing?!
I've figured out what she wants, Princess.
Really?
I-I'm fading...
Let's start preparing for the service right away.
Huh? Where am I?
Huh? I can't move my body or speak.
Am I still half asleep?
She's got such a peaceful look.
Kagura-chan!
What are these idiots doing?
We're all set.
Go ahead, then.
What? Go ahead with what?
Uh, what the heck? No way.
Is this...
Princess Soyo's Friend Kagura-chan's Funeral Site
the beginning of my funeral?!
What's more,
I'm getting a state funeral?!
Goodbye, Kagura-chan.
Princess, I'm sure she's overjoyed right about now
that she gets such a grand send-off.
Don't tell me...
Not only that, she gets what she's always wanted...
She's bathing in sunlight
inside a tanning salon-style coffin as she departs for the afterlife.
That... That bastard...
He knows!
Princess Soyo's Friend Kagura-chan's Funeral Site
Thank you all so much for coming today.
So many of you have gathered here.
I'm sure that's made her very happy.
As you can see from her smile, she was a girl that hated gloomy scenes,
so please,
send her off with a smile today.
I'm sure that's the best parting gift we can offer her.
Now please come, one by one, to place your flowers of tribute in the coffin
and say your last farewells to her.
Allow me to go first.
Okita-san.
Sogo...
I never thought I'd see him like this.
They fought every time they ran into each other,
but I guess, to people,
losing a good friend
and losing an enemy you'd always have spats with
aren't all that different.
Curse you!
How d'you like the coffin? Nice and cozy?
I figured you'd at least like to bask in sunlight in the afterlife,
so I specially prepared this tanning salon-style coffin for you.
Hot!
My body's burning up!
What the hell are you thinking?!
Let me out! Let me outta here!
Yeah, I can tell how deeply thankful you are to me, even if you don't say a word.
Thankful, my ass!
You did all that because you wanted to test their love for you, right?
In that case, instead of feigning illness,
dying would better let you see how they truly feel about you.
Don't worry. You won't be able to move or speak for another twelve hours.
It'll be the perfect playing-dead act.
Not many people get the chance to see their own funerals,
so you'd better be grateful.
If their love for you is real,
I'm sure they'll notice.
Though, by then, you might already be burned to a crisp
inside this coffin or the incinerator.
Well, you reap what you sow.
If you must resent someone,
resent yourself for doing something so stupid as faking an illness.
Hold it!
Get back here, you scumbag!
I can't believe it! He was the last person I wanted to figure it out!
He's trying to use my fake illness as a pretext to kill me off!
So hot! I can't take this!
At this rate, I'll go to heaven for real!
I need to do something!
I can't move or speak,
but if this many people are gonna come say their farewells,
then I'm sure someone will notice I'm alive!
They just need to take a good look at my flushed complexion!
Excuse me, everyone!
Perhaps due to the tanning salon-style coffin,
the body is starting to deteriorate.
We're running out of time.
In order to make things more efficient,
we'll put the coffin on a conveyor belt,
so please say your farewells as it goes past you.
What kind of farewell is that?!
Soyo-chan, don't let him trick you!
The belt runs from this funeral parlor to the crematory.
Funeral Parlor
After everyone has said their farewells, the body will head to the crematory,
Crematory
where it'll automatically be turned into ashes and shipped to heaven.
Crematory
Venue
What is this, a factory?!
Please make sure to be quick, so as to not clog up the line.
Hey! Could this funeral be any more inappropriate?!
Kagura...
How could you pass away before me?
How could you make me go through this?
You know, I saw you as my own daughter...
She's not done yet!
She's not done saying all those nice things yet!
Otose-san, you're taking too long.
You need to make it more compact!
Hey, wait!
Otose-sama, Catherine-sama,
you forgot to place your flowers in the coffin.
Hurry, give them to me!
Kagura-sama,
please rest in peace—
Wh-Where are you sticking them?!
How am I supposed to rest like this?!
Oh, no! Kyubei-sama!
Could you fix the roses, please?
Wait, what?
K-Kagura-chan, thanks for everything!
Why'd you fix the roses in my nose?!
No, Kyubei! Roses, not nose!
Pull out the roses!
K-Kagura, I'll always be indebted to you!
What the hell are you guys doing?!
Goodbye!
No, hello.
Hey!
Just how much brute strength have you got, Tsukki?!
Kagura-chan's...
I-I did what I could!
The rest is up to you, Sarutobi!
You say that after messing everything up? How irresponsible!
Push or pull, she's not budging!
What am I supposed to do?!
What should I do?!
Kagura-chan,
I'll make Gin-san happy,
so relax and go back to the afterlife already!
Can't breathe!
Hey, look.
What is that, Toshi?
Help, Toshi!
Somebody, anybody! Just help me!
I never knew there was a funeral rite like this.
Just what kind of religion was she a part of?
At times like these,
it doesn't matter if she was a friend or an enemy.
Let's give her a proper send-off, too.
No!
As if there'd ever be a funeral rite like this!
I'll die!
If I get hit with that, I'll die for real!
Speed up, conveyor belt!
We can't catch up!
Hang in there, Toshi!
Don't give up!
No, don't try so hard!
How pathetic of us.
Can't we even give a kid a proper send-off?!
We can! We can do this!
Let's throw this boulder onto that coffin!
I can't tell if these idiots are nice or evil!
What are you two doing?
Boss lady!
Why are you two carrying that boulder?
You're a lifesaver!
Stop those morons!
Why didn't you ask me for help?
That's what you take issue with?!
Otae-san!
Thank you, Kondo-san, Hijikata-san.
You're going so far for Kagura-chan...
Let's work together.
Hey!
They usually mix like oil and water, so why are they cooperating now, of all times?!
Let's do this!
Run away!
Run for it, conveyor belt!
Crap, it's a slope!
No! The boulder!
Nice. Now the boulder's done for.
I can't see you on the other side of the boulder, but I'll take over from here!
I can't see you on the other side of the boulder, but I'll leave the rest to you.
What?! Now they decide to help each other out, regardless of allegiances?!
Just you wait, Leader!
Distance to Crematory
These mortal enemies have joined forces to try to kill me!
Hang in there!
Don't lose hope!
Who are you cheering for?!
Who are you singing for?!
Who is this funeral for?!
Now's your chance, guys!
While I'm offsetting the conveyor belt's motion,
crush the coffin along with me!
Just how badly do you guys want to send me off?!
Here we go, everyone!
Leader...
Goodbye!
Oh my God.
I can't believe this is actually gonna end up becoming my funeral.
Is this my punishment for getting mad over a trivial dispute
and faking illness to test their feelings for me?
But I never needed to. I already knew how they felt.
They ran around in circles and killed me in the end,
but they all came together for me.
They were all genuinely worried about me.
They all cried real tears for me.
And yet, I... I...
I should've said that one simple thing sooner...
Sorry, everyone.
While your desire to give Kagura-chan a proper send-off makes us happy,
we can't bid farewell to her just yet.
There's something we need to tell her first.
I forgot to return your parasol.
In truth, I thought about holding on to it as a memento,
but never mind raindrops or sunshine,
you're a girl even boulders rain down on.
You'll probably need this in heaven, too, right?
Kagura...
Sorry.
Huh?
Oh, crap. I said that out loud.
Uh, did Kagura-chan speak just now?
Sh-She didn't!
What's wrong with you?
After all the money and help we received,
there's no way we could play the "actually, she's still alive" card!
She's completely dead, right?
Yeah, no doubt about it!
She's dead!
Shall we continue the funeral?
Let's burn her to a crisp already!
Didn't she say "sorry"?
She didn't!
Could she have faked an illness to get back at you after a fight?
Of course not!
Crap.
Th-This is bad. I feel sick all of a sudden...
I-I'm sorry, but I don't feel too good,
so could we postpone the service to a later date?
Oh, no need to worry.
That illness you have is already terminal.
Let's resume...
...the funeral for the three of you.
Wait! I didn't do anything wrong!
If you wanna cremate someone, cremate her!
What are you talking about?!
In the first place, this is all because you—
Sis, I'm just a victim here!
I just got mixed up in this!
What a relief.
You can say that again.

This isn't exciting.
Rather than guarding the shogun, assassinating him sounds way more exciting.
You've really forgotten, huh?

Oh, Soyo.
Forgive me. I was lost in thought.

Shigeshige,
you no longer have any allies in this country.
Let's fight together for a buddy!
Ally...
I'm counting on you, buddies.
And you too,
double.
Uh, not that I care, but could you hurry it up?
Why are you the double?!
I'm on your side, you know.
Or Traitor?
Aren't you the same?
You have the eyes of a killer.
You're the only ones who can.
What are you so afraid of?
Gin-san...
Just what's going to happen to the world now?
Took you long enough.
I got sick of waiting for you,
