How did you know I was here?
I desperately searched for you.
You suddenly disappeared, too...
Well, I shouldn't be the one saying that.
Saji-kun was worried, too.
Just as I thought...
You... When you met Saji in Rakuyo...
You don't remember?
Nope. Not at all.
...you lied to me. And after that you met with Saji.
You and Saji both deceived me and laughed at me, didn't you?!
No! That's not true!
It's true that I lied to you about Saji-kun.
Moreover, I kept quiet about things.
But it was for your sake.
For my sake?
Many calculations result in victory. Few calculations result in defeat.
Episode 09
I heard about the relationship between Saji, you, and I.
That's why you're afraid of me turning into who I once was.
Saji-kun said he wanted to keep our meetings a secret.
But he also said this:
"Even if you return back to who you once were, I won't go out with you.
Right now, I can't think of anyone other than Ryomou."
If that's the case, why has he disappeared?
Right now, Saji-kun is trying to figure out why I'm alive.
He said until he figures it out, he won't meet with you.
That guy... If it's about others, he could've at least...
What's so funny?
Guys are always selfish about these kinds of things.
They're not honest.
You like that kind of guy, right?
What do you mean, all of a sudden?
Do you understand? The reason why Saji's keeping everything a secret is to keep you from worrying.
I told him it doesn't really matter why I'm alive.
It doesn't matter?
That's because the present me doesn't need a past.
I met you, and the time I spent with you is important to me.
Ryofu...
That became clear when I went to a crumbling Rakuyo.
It was dark and cold there... I was scared.
Ryomou, if I'm with you I think I can live without worrying about my past.
But...
But?
If you really want everything cleared up between you and Saji, you wouldn't want me around, would you?
Since I really like you, I can't stand to be hated by you even more.
So this is goodbye.
Wait!
I won't doubt anymore.
You believe me, right? Thank you!
Let's stay together from now on, okay?
Ryofu-san did?
Yeah... Miyo-chan said so.
It's okay, Ryuu-chan. You don't have to cry.
See, no one's life is in danger.
But... But...!
What happened?
On that day, Ryofu-san invited us, then we went to the amusement park's haunted castle together.
Then Ryofu-san...
What's wrong?
I can't say it!
I wouldn't understand...
It was after that. Someone went inside me, and...
I...
Because of me...
Kan-san and the others...!
Someone went inside her...
I wonder... Since when?
Chuubo?
L-Let's go, Koukin onii-sama.
Just like when we met with Ryofu-san, Chuubo clearly looked strange.
What exactly is she afraid of?
Koukin!
Let's go to Fuu-chi!
Okay.
It's useless.
Riku-chan!
Who is this person?
Alright, let's go Hakufu.
Ryofu Housen is no longer in Mou onee-sama's room.
Besides, it seems like Ryofu was being controlled.
Controlled?
But...
By whom, Riku-san?
Saji Genpou.
Saji-chi is? Why?
The Saji that Sagu-dono talked about met Saji and was no longer Saji.
His real name is Ouin Shishi.
In order to defeat Toutaku Chuuei, he called himself Saji Genpou.
U-Um... I wish you guys would explain it more easily...
It doesn't matter which name Saji is using. We know there's a warrior called Saji Genpou. Correct?
Yes.
Young Master!
What are you doing?
Shison Zei.
Be careful with that Magatama. It's too early for you to turn back into Ouin.
If Toutaku from Rakuyo perished along with Ryofu.
What is the point of giving myself the false name of Saji Genpou?
It's true that the Ouin Shishi of the Three Kingdoms era, as punishment for being associated with Toutaku's fall,
was killed in revenge by Toutaku's former subordinates.
Ouin is here!
That's why I will return to being Ouin and achieve what he couldn't.
Yes...
To live...
But the fake identity of Saji Genpou is not only a thing for deceiving Toutaku.
What?
During the era of the three kingdoms, Saji Genpou possessed magic, and
declared himself Sousou Moutoku's teacher.
The father mouse obeys the golden tiger.
Note: This scene is depicts the moment Saji Genpou raises an army of corpses to teach Sousou a lesson in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I will reveal to you an insight into life.
Are you telling me to repeat the same history with Sousou?
That's not true.
What you should be trying to accomplish as Saji Genpou is to one day inherit the magatama
for the sake of meeting with Saji Genpou, the illusionist who has appeared in this land of Kantou.
It's for the sake of destroying him.
Ah! Damn it!
Submission expert, the unrivaled Mou-chan, can be beaten here, huh?
I'm just a bit off today, that's all. Normally...
Yes, yes. Come here for a second.
Let's take a picture together in this.
With these kinds of things, I'm...
No good?
It's not that...
We'll stop, then.
Good grief.
You're not honest, are you?
Come on! Smile! Smile!
Shut up!
You... Doing whatever you want with someone else's cell phone...
Hm? You don't like it?
No one said that...
I'll peel it off, then.
Anyway! Today was fun.
Hm? I couldn't hear you.
Can you say it again?
Idiot!
Today was fun!
See you tomorrow!
Bye-bye.
I found you.
You finally came...
Saji Genpou.
Sousou isn't here anymore.
What're you doing, appearing here so casually?
Ryomou Shimei.
I want the dragon that sleeps inside her.
What are you thinking?
She has such sad eyes.
Solitude. Despair. And finally, bitterness.
They were the eyes of someone who lived with nothing but those feelings.
Now that I've heard you, what do you want me to do?
We work together.
Certainly.
I will?
That's ridiculous.
Are you trying to play prophet?
Your precious past... I have something that can restore it.
My past?
No way... Impossible!
Ryofu Housen.
Could she...
really be alive?
Ryofu!
It's me!
Can you understand?
Ryofu!
Her body has resurrected, but
her memory was not. Now she just needs time.
Hey!
What's going on?
Ryofu's memory still hasn't..?
She's hasn't perfectly been resurrected.
Then, why are they fighting?
Right now, Ryofu is moving on instinct alone.
What?
Hang in there, Ryofu!
What's frightening is her instinct, which is seeking to fight with the enemies of Ryofu Housen, even without her memories.
I'll bring her back.
What do you plan on doing?
I'll meet with Ryomou.
With Ryomou Shimei?
Once before, Ryomou had a place deep inside Ryofu's heart.
The same Ryofu came back to live and fight.
She wouldn't be able to leave Ryomou alone.
You're going to return Ryofu's memories?
Yeah.
The possibility is there for both Ryofu and Ryomou.
Because we're Toushi.
However, I wasn't able to bring back Ryofu's memory.
I...
until it was too dangerous,
was open with her about her relationship with who I once was.
As I thought...
For Ryofu, the memories of her past life as a Toushi are an abominable curse.
Hey.
What are you laughing about, monster?
Could it be that you were thinking about eating that butterfly?
That would be nice food for a monster, right?
Here, eat it.
What's this? You're not going to eat?
Such a waste of someone's good will.
That girl can use weird powers, right?
She's the reason that upper classmate was injured, isn't she?
What is it? Don't look this way.
You make me feel sick. Go over there!
Let's stop!
Hurry up and get out!
Don't breathe the same air as us!
You're pissing me off! Go over there!
You're a bother!
Quickly go away!
Come on!
Stop it!
It hurts! It hurts!
Ouin.
Don't leave me alone.
You won't go anywhere, right?
You... You'll fulfill my wish, right?
Yeah.
That is the truth behind the illusionist Saji Genpou.
That means that, that is the real Saji-chi.
He was using Fuu-chi, casting magic on Ryuu-chan, and fighting with the people from Seito...
You finally understand, huh...
Yeah, I understand it now.
The one that's wrong is that little witch Saji.
I'm going over there.
Um...
Where are you going to?
That's obvious, isn't it?
To where the magician Saji-chi is. These awful things are unforgivable!
We have to stop her!
Do you know where she is?
You don't know where he is, Riku-chan?
How would I know?
Why...
This information was pretty tough to get, you know.
Chuubou...
Rain, eh?
Ryofu...
"Even if you return back to who you once were, I won't go out with you.
Right now, I can't think of anyone other than Ryomou."
That's because the present me doesn't need a past.
I met you, and the time I spent with you is important to me.
You believe me, right? Thank you!
Saji...
You bastard!
Anger. That's also essential to a hero's strength.
Ryofu.
As I thought, you were deceiving me.
You think this is funny?
That day you told me.
"Even I can't fight against the destiny of my magatama, this is what I've chosen for myself. Yes, it's for my own sake. According to my own will."
Then, I will defeat you for my own sake. According to my own will!
I won't let her be dirtied by you.
Mou-chan?
Ryomou Shimei, you cannot be forgiven for living according to your own will.
The reason why is that you're dependent on your dragon.
Because, you're a Toushi.
Rikuson-sama, pleased to meet you!
My name is Sonken Chuubou!
I can't believe that Saku-dono had such a younger sister.
Speaking of Saku-dono, she's a stupid, selfish, distorted, insect and good-for-nothing Toushi!
What's the hell did you say?!
I am really in charge?!
Onee-sama, Rikuson-sama is angry about appearing in the episode so late...
The best general will aim to ruin the enemy's plans.
