of disappearance.

A Noh mask......

And another thing, Ohgami. The same gold dust as that which yougave me yesterday was extracted from this Noh mask.

What......? The same gold dust as that stuck to the leg of the

Kohbu Mark II......

Yes, most likely...... that gold dust is what's behind the gold-

colored steam. Mystical energy was also detected in the gold dust.

I see...... most suspicious. So that's the cause of all thesteam engine malfunctions.

Yes, the Tsuki-Gumi shares that point of view. The steam-powered

machines that went out of control most likely came in contact with the

gold-colored steam.

Furthermore...... the mystical energy in that gold dust has the added

characteristic of diminishing spiritual energy to zero.

Those steam-powered machines belonging to the general populace are weak in

spiritual energy; they would begin to malfunction right away.

That's some rather dangerous material. So that's why Kohran's

Kohbu, which has the lowest spiritual energy, went out of control.

Ohgami...... Do you have any idea how to suppress any malfunction in the

Kohbu?

As for that......

=== LIPS 2-1 ==>

- a - If we defend against it with spiritual energy......

- b - If we keep it from getting inside steam engines......

- c - If we're lucky......

=

- a > Can we not defend against it with spiritual energy? If we do that,

we should be able to get by without coming in contact with the gold-colored

steam.

Ohgami...... I thought I told you that gold dust reduces spiritual

energy to zero.

reduced to zero. In which case the Kohbu will go out of control.

......Kayama. Has the Tsuki-Gumi come up with anything?

Gold dust had entered the steam engines of all the steam-poweredmachines that lost control.

In other words...... as long as the gold dust doesn't enter the steam

engines, it is believable that they will not go out of control.

As far as hard evidence...... I haven't gotten any. But for now, that's all

we know.

In that case...... we don't know when the Kohbu will go out ofcontrol too......

< a -

- b >

Do you suppose we simply need to keep it from getting inside steam

engines?

Hey, now...... is this whole incident really that simple?

Commander Yoneda...... Ohgami's suggestion may very well have hit

the nail on the head.

As a result of the Tsuki-Gumi's reinvestigation of those steam-powered

machines that went out of control......

...the same gold dust as that of this most recent incident has been

extracted from all the steam engines of those machines.

I see...... So if we keep the gold dust from getting inside the

steam engines, they won't go out of control.

Yes, that is true, but...... that gold dust reduces spiritual

energy.

It took not even two hours from the time they were surrounded by the gold

steam to the point when Ohgami and the others' spiritual energy dropped to

zero.

In other words, if the battle runs too long, Ohgami and the others' spiritual

energy will be reduced to zero, and the gold dust will infiltrate their

steam engines.

And...... they will go out of control.


4/64


Th- that's......

It didn't take even two hours for the gold steam to reduce your

spiritual energies to zero.

If the battle continues for too long, the Kohbu will begin to go out of

control without fail!! And when that happens, it'll be the end of

everything, now won't it!

Despite all that, you...... say you'll rely on luck?

< c -

- time up > Ohgami!! You won't solve anything if you just keep quiet! Haven't

you got anything!?

I'm sorry......

Kayama...... Is there anything we can do?

It is believable that the gold dust entering the steam engines

causes the malfunction.

However, that gold-colored steam reduces spiritual energy to zero, so it

cannot be defended against with spiritual energy.

In other words, if the battle runs too long, Ohgami and the others' spiritual

energy will be reduced to zero, and the gold dust will infiltrate their

steam engines.

And...... they will go out of control.< time up -

You're right...... I understand. In return, I'll be counting on you

with the investigation.

Leave it to me! You and I are friends, now, aren't we!!

And one more thing - I've prepared these for you. I want you to accept them!

'Noh' tickets?

There was a Noh mask left behind at the scene of today's battle,

after all, so I thought there might be some sort of connection.

And besides, Ohgami. Lately you've been having to go out on emergency one

right after the other, haven't you?

As the ancients have said, "Haste will only hinder things."

Those girls need a break. And naturally, so do you.

Sorry about that, Kayama. I gratefully accept.

Well, see ya, Ohgami. Adios!

......Now then, I believe the others were rehearsing onstage.

I guess I'll go check on how things are going.

* * *

Hey, everyone. How's rehearsal coming?

Ah, Ohgami-san, you've come, have you.

Sakura-san, be still. We are in the middle of rehearsal.

Ah, forgive me. Look, it's Maria-san and Orihime-san's scene.

I see...... Perhaps I'll take a little look.

......Now, Jean Valjean. Take this silver candlestick.

Why, Bishop Myriel? I stole silver goods from this church! And I

injured you as well!!

Yet, why do you say you will give me a silver candlestick as well?

Jean Valjean, I believe in your future...... and in your proper


6/64


Jean Valjean is saved by Bishop Myriel and reformed......

......What a wonderful scene. However...... I have to wonder about using

possessions as a lure to persuade one of the proper path.

Well, you may have a point. But you know, I think it'd be more

effective than simply getting preached at.

If it were me, I'd probably think of the Bishop's face every time I looked

at that silver candlestick.

Lieutenant, how do you feel? Would you present someone with

material things in order to reform them?

Well, let's see......

=== LIPS 2-2 ==>

- a - I think I would give them something. {Su+}

- b - I guess it depends on the person. {Su-}

- c - I'd reform them with a burning spirit.

- time up - {Su-}

=- a >

I think I'd give them something. If that helps to reform them, then

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Since you put it that way, I suppose you're right. If it can buy

a person's life, a silver candlestick is a small price to pay.

Still, I find it a bit shameful to reform oneself simply by receiving a

material possession......

That's because you're rich. Think about Jean Valjean......

He was so poor that he had to struggle just to eat a loaf of bread.

If he was given something that valuable, I think he'd reform, I'm telling

you.

< a -

- b >

I suppose it depends on the person. There are those who wouldn't

believe without something tangible......

That may be so, but...... I wished to hear your opinion.


7/64


- c >

I'd reform them with a burning spirit. I don't think it's right to

try to convert someone with possessions.

Ohh-hoh-hoh...... how excellent, our Lieutenant. You truly are astar pupil.

However...... others are not strong enough to believe in something they

cannot see.

I...... don't think expressing one's feelings in physical form is

such a bad thing either.

Because that simply says how much...... you're actually sympathizing withthat person.

< c -

- time up >

......I can't say anything about the matter.

Well, is that so. I thought perhaps if it were up to you, you would

try to reform them without relying on possessions......

I suppose that was my misunderstanding.

< time up -


8/64


Sure, I got it. Could you go on ahead?

* * * * *

The truth is, this is...... the first time I've ever seen any 'Noh.'

It sounds so complex that I'm a bit nervous.

My, is that so? Perhaps Noh was a little too advanced for you,

Sakura-san?

It's all right, I'm going to learn about it right now. There's a

first time for everyone, after all!!

Both of you, don't fight. By the way, Captain...... today's

performance is 'Takasago,' isn't it. {2}

Um, would that 'Takasago'...... be the same Takasago that's danced

at wedding ceremonies?

That's right! It's a dance to wish that the husband and wife will

always get along together.

Um...... Ohgami-san. Why did you choose 'Takasago' for our 'Noh'

program?

=== LIPS 2-3 ==>

- a - The truth is...... I didn't know what it was going to be either.

- b - I was interested in marriage. {Sa+}

The truth is...... I didn't know what it was going to be either.

I got the tickets from Kayama, after all.

Ah...... is that so. Here I thought......

Uh, no...... it's nothing. It looks like it's about to start.< a -

I was interested in marriage. You know...... We talked about it

last night, didn't we?

......I wonder why.

Ah, it looks like it's about to start.

I suppose so. Really, you, Ohgami-san......

< time up -

Don't worry, Iris. There won't be any ghosts showing up.

For really real? They absolutely won't show up?

Yeah, really. If you're still scared, here...... you can hold onto

my hand.

Yeah...... I will.

Ah- um...... Ohgami-san. May I hold your hand too?

Sure, I don't mind, but...... are you scared too?

Y- yes......

Really......? It's going to be all right?

Yes, there's no need to worry...... If you're scared, you can hold

onto my hand......

Okay...... I will.

Ah...... Iris, behind you......

NO!! No no no no! Iris is leaving!!

Captain! Please control yourself with your joking!!

Lieutenant...... just what do you think you are doing, scaring

Iris?

I- I'm sorry...... I just had this sudden impulse......

Iris, there's no need to worry...... I'll hold onto your hand......

Okay...... Thank you.

Well...... which is it? Will there be ghosts?

It'll be all right, Iris. We're all here, so you don't need to

worry.

hand......

Yes...... I will.< time up -

(Big brother...... There was something strange there just now......)

(So you saw it too, Iris? Something like the silhouette of a

person......)

(Captain, Iris. You mustn't talk during a performance.)

(Maria...... Did you not just see a mysterious figure onstage?)

(No...... not particularly...... Is something the matter?)

(I guess only Iris and I could see it......)

* * *

......Ahh, what a magnificent dance it was.

Hmm, I never would have expected something like this to exist!

When something's good, it sure is good, isn't it.

Captain...... would it be all right to go have the Noh mask shown tothem?

Iris is scared. She wants to go home soon......

Now, don't say things like that. I'm interested in the Noh mask

too. That's the real work of a craftsman.

I'm interested in it too...... Iris, would you mind?

Okay...... all right. But let's go home soon.

......I see. So this is a genuine Noh mask......

When the 'Nougakushi' puts it on, the Noh mask transfers its life to

the Nougakushi, and the world of the occult opens wide...... {3}

Captain, did you know? Originally 'Noh' was the dance of the gods.

Humans play the roles of the gods as they dance. And thus, they would

appease or praise the gods.

I know about that. It's the 'Kagura-mai,' isn't it? I've seen it

in Sendai. {4}


12/64


Ginza.

Hm-hm-hm...... That may be so.

(The Nougakushi that joins this world with the next, huh...... We

may have something here.)

Captain, is something the matter? Something appears to be troubling

you......

Yeah......

- a >

In our last battle, the enemy Masou Kihei had dropped this Noh

mask......

This...... is the Noh mask called 'Shikami,' isn't it.

If I'm not mistaken...... I believe this is a mask used when playing the role

of a monster......

Our present enemy and Noh...... Do you suppose there's some sort of

connection?

I don't know. That's what I came here to find out.

Gold-colored steam and a Noh mask...... The incidents up to now may

all have been part of a continuous stream of them.

< a -

- b >

I was just wondering about what to do about the upcoming Tei-Geki

stage production.

I think it would be nice if we could adopt something from the Nohproduction. It would be an innovation for the Hana-Gumi.

However...... I have to wonder about using Noh masks.

For an actress, facial expression is part of the acting performance, after

all.

No...... that's not what I meant...... I wanted to know why you'd

come all the way to Teito......

Ah, yes...... Ever since you were sent to Tokyo......

I would be unable to sleep whenever I thought about you...... and so......

E- Erica-kun......

Because I'd always be falling asleep during the day...... Grand Ma

got angry at me and told me to go off to Tokyo.

Huh...... Is that how it is.

But but! I'm very happy to be able to see you!!

My heart's even pounding - I'm so happy right now!!

Um...... Ohgami-san...... You wouldn't have forgotten your promise to me,

would you......?

Your promise to make me...... into your real girlfriend......

Erica-kun......

=== LIPS 2-6 ==>

Of course I haven't forgotten. That's only natural.

Ohgami-san...... It really is you, Ohgami-san......

I...... believed that you of all people who definitely remember.

Because you...... were the first person I ever really fell in love with......

So Ohgami-san's my boyfriend......

Eh-heh-heh...... It's kind of embarrassing when you actually go and say it.

Uhh...... now then, what was I talking about?

Ah...... well, you mentioned a "real girlfriend"......

Ahh, that's right!! This wasn't the time to be saying how tasty the

water is!

Ohgami-san...... You do remember...... the promise, don't you?

Ye- yeah......

So Ohgami-san's my boyfriend...... It really makes me happy.

< c -


16/64


She means the Chattes Noires. Y- you remember. It's just like with

the Tei-Geki, isn't it?

......Is that so, Erica-san?

No, that's not what I meant. I spent a night in Ohgami-san's bed.

Eeh!?

It was when I ran away from Chattes Noires, and had caught a fever,

soaked from the rain......

Ohgami-san nursed me to health in his own apartment.

Ohgami-san's Japanese, so he slept on the floor, while I slept on the bed.

Th- that's right! That's exactly what happened!!

< a -

- b >

Just once, she came to my apartment...... when Erica-kun ran away

from Chattes Noires......

She had been soaked in the rain and broke out in a fever, so I nursed her to

health in my apartment.

I remember when that happened...... Ohgami-san...... You were

truly so gentle......

Is that really...... all that happened, I wonder?

Of- of course! Have faith in what I'm saying!!< b -

Q ( ) y y

Yes, and I hadn't said I was. But...... here I am.

A- ahh...... I see. It's so good of you to come such a long way.

So, do you need something with me?

Yes, I've received a letter from Grand Ma and Ambassador Sakomizu.

......Here you are.

......Well let's take a look. Hoh...... I see.

Hm...... Well, that's Sakomizu for you. He already knows about the

incidents going on in Teito.

......What do you mean?

There's a reason he's called 'Iron Wall Sakomizu.'

Kaede-kun, go tell Kayama to fetch the 'Ginza Monjo.'

'Ginza Monjo?' What's that?

A text that documents the founding and folklore, among other things,

of Ginza.

Sakomizu seems to think these incidents may have something to do with the

spot on which Ginza stands.

Certainly, these rampage incidents all seem to be taking place around

Ginza......

All right, Erica, thank you for your trouble. You get some rest for today.

You must tired from the long journey, right?

Yes, um...... I'm afraid I don't have any place to stay today......

In that case, you can come to my room. You can sleep with me

tonight.

Thank you very much. In that case, please, if you would!

Well, then, Manager, I'll excuse myself now.

......It's already this late, huh. It does look like I should be getting

some rest for today.

Well, Ohgami-kun, I'll be showing Erica to my room.



18/64

Oh, no...... nothing especially...... We were not eavesdropping!

Idiot...... Wh- what are you saying!? Well, Captain...... We'll be

going too now.

Huh...... Guess I'll go back to my room......

~ {Eyecatch 2-1} ~

Hah...... Today was really a busy day, what with going to see the

Noh, and Erica-kun coming here......

I'd like to talk to Erica-kun, but...... I can't make it...... I'm going to

sleep for today. I'll do it...... tomorrow......

Forgive me, Ohgami-san. May I see you for a moment?

Y- yes!? Kasumi-kun......? Ahh...... I'll be right there.

Ohgami-san, a transmission has come in from Grand Ma of the Paris

Kagekidan.

A transmission from Chattes Noires? Is that true?

Yes, it's true. Please take the message on the big screen

kinematron in the battle command room.

Kohran-san made it possible to communicate with Paris by connecting an

antenna to Teito Tower.

That's Kohran for you. The battle command room, you said? I'll go

there right away!

* * *

A transmission from Grand Ma, huh...... I believe this is the

switch for the big screen kinematron.

Why, Monsieur. You seem well, don't you.

Manager, it's been a while. Is it peaceful in Paris?

Yes, there's no need to worry. There haven't been any

particularly large incidents.

But still...... you don't ask a lady, "Is it peaceful," now, do you? You've

Manager...... You're as beautiful as always.

Hm-hm...... Thank you very much. Though it's a bit embarrassing

to hear that coming from you.

to Teito......

Well, I was the one who raised you to be a gentleman, so you should be all

right.

Napoleon, how have you been?

Meeoww! Meow meow!!

He says he's lonely because he hasn't had anyone to fight with

Monsieur, I know you must have it pretty hard, but I'm expecting you to get

the job done.

If, by chance, something happens, you be sure to give the Paris Kagekidan the

order to move out, any time - you got that?

Manager......

Should the time come, I'll be counting on you.

Naturally. Because you're still a member of the Paris Kagekidan

even now.

If it's for the sake of a comrade, we'll go anywhere. That's what makes us

the Paris Kagekidan, isn't it?

Manager...... Thank you very much.

< a -

- b >

The Teikoku Kagekidan alone will be enough. We'll manage on our

own.

Monsieur...... It's no more than conceit to think you can do

everything all by yourself.

If you get into a situation you can't handle with the Teikoku Kagekidan

alone, what would you intend to do then?

When you have someone to help you, you should rely on them as much as you

want.

That's what comrades are for, after all.

Mell-kun, it's been a while. I'm glad you seem well.

I'm finished with what I have to say. Mell, Ci, do what you like.

Ah, Monsieur...... I've sent an extra gift too, so I'll leave Erica to you.

Well then, you get the job done, even when you're over in Tokyo.

Hey, hey, Ohgami-san. Erica-san's arrived in Tokyo, hasn't she.

I'm so jealous...... I want to go to Tokyo too......

Ci, you know you can't do that. What'll you do about your work at

Chattes Noires?

I wanna go, I wanna go! Come on...... Ohgami-san. You don't mind if I

go, do you?

Why, even you want to see me too, don't you. Look, see, you want to see me

now!

Well, let's see......

I'd sure like to see you too, Ci-kun. I want to talk with you,

just the two of us.

Of course you do, of course you do!! Yes, after hearing that, I've

just got to go, haven't I!

Ci, you know you can't go! And Ohgami-san, please don't say

whatever's convenient.

W-well...... It wasn't "whatever's convenient"......

What Mell's worried about is that we won't be able to open up shop if

I'm not around, huh.

In that case...... If you go with me, Mell, there won't be any problem.

We'll all go together, and the place will be closed in the meantime!!



22/64

All right...... I understand.

< a -

I'd sure like to see you two. Mell-kun, Ci-kun, you should both

come to Tokyo.

So it's all right!? I'm going, I'm going!! I'm gonna go!

Yes, yes. Ohgami-san, you really are understanding, aren't you.

Ohh, Ci...... You know there's no way you go someplace like Tokyo.

And you too, Ohgami-san. If you go and say something like that, Ci will

really end up going.

What's wrong with that? Ohgami-san did say he wanted both of us to go.

And it's been such a long time since we've gone on a trip together. Come on,

Mell, you don't mind, do you?

But...... we can't. Ci, I'll take you somewhere on our next vacation

instead.

Really!? Can it be anywhere I want?

Oh, all right...... It can be anywhere you want.

In that case...... I want to go to Versailles! You make the lunches,

Mell, okay?

Yes, yes. I'll make those omelettes you like so much.

All right! Mell, I love you!!

So, that being the case...... I'm sorry, Ohgami-san. I'm not going to

Tokyo!!

A- all right...... I got it. That's a little too bad, though......

Still, to think that Ginza here was really a seal used to appease a vengeful

spirit......

First of all, it looks like getting ahold of the 'Ginza Monjo' comes first.

Kayama...... I'm counting on you.

Now then...... it's a little late, but I guess I'll at least go see

how everyone's doing.

Though since it's this late, everyone might already be asleep......

Ah...... Ohgami-san. What's the matter?

Oh, nothing...... I was just making the nighttime rounds. This is

part of my job too, after all.

Is that so. If you're worried about here...... there's no problem.

I've been here all this time.

I see...... Erica-kun, aren't you tired from your long journey?

You should get some rest already.

Thank you very much. But somehow, I can't fall asleep......

Um...... Ohgami-san. There are troubled people in Tokyo as well, aren't

there.

Yeah, especially what with all the incidents lately...... I think

there would be people in trouble.

So it is true, after all...... In that case...... that's where I

come in.

Since I have taken the trouble to come all the way to Tokyo, I'm going to

need to help lots of people......

Captain...... did you know? The power to believe in one another...... is a

power that can overcome anything.

The power to believe in one another...... That is what makes us strong.

I'm sure the same goes...... for the Paris Kagekidan too.

You're right...... With the power to believe in each other, the

Paris Kagekidan won't be beat. ......Thanks, Reni.

Yes...... Well, I'm going to sleep now. Good night...... Captain.

Yeah...... Good night.

Yeah...... I'm awake now. Big brother, come on, come inside!

In that case...... please forgive the intrusion.

Hey, big brother. Look, look, I got a present!

They're lintz biscuits! Iris loves biscuits!! {6}

Ha-ha-ha...... Good for you.

You know, earlier, when I was eating biscuits with Erica, we talked

about Paris.

Now I kind of...... want to go to Paris again...... I would like to see

Papa and Mama, too......

Hey, big brother...... Let's go to Paris.

When Erica goes back to Paris, let's all go along with her! Big brother,

you'll be going too, won't you?

Eh...... Well let's see.

When we get to Paris, let's go see Coquelicot!

When we went last time, we didn't get a chance to visit for very long, so

this time we'll spend a whole long time there!!

And then...... let's all stay at Iris's house...... and have a whole lot of

fun!

Yeah, someday. Well...... good night, Iris.

Yawwwwn...... Good night......

Kohran...... Is she in her room, I wonder?

{after knocking}

Kohran, are you there? It's Ohgami...... Could I see you for a

minute?

Oh, is that Ohgami-han? You've come at just the right time. It's

all right, come on in!

In that case...... I'll bother you for just a bit.

Don't just stand over there, come over here, quick.

A- all right...... By the way, you said I came at just the right

time......?

The fact is...... I've been thinking about a few things.

Erica-han...... did come all this way to Teito......

so I was wondering...... if there wasn't some sort of amazing souvenir I

could give her to take back with her.

You know...... Everyone's sick of those ornaments of Teito Tower and

Japanese dolls and stuff, right?

Still...... pamphlets or bromides from the Tei-Geki aren't all that

exciting......

Say, Ohgami-han. For a souvenir for Erica-han...... You don't have any

good ideas, do you?

Let's see......

=== LIPS 2-14 ==>- a - Maybe a bromide after all?

......To tell the truth, I'd been thinking of giving her an invention right

from the start, but......

Well, everyone really voted against it...... even though I told them it

wouldn't explode or anything.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...... I see. So you've already talked with

everyone else about it......

But still...... if you're gonna recommend it, then I feel confident

about it!

I'll make an incredible invention! One that'll go down in history!!

Th-that...... sounds like it could be dangerous......

Well, then...... Ohgami-han. I'm going to start working on that

souvenir now, so......

I'm sorry, but, you'll...... have to excuse me now.

Yeah...... I got it. Well, good luck.

< b -

Sumire-kun...... Is she in her room, I wonder?

{after knocking}

Sumire-kun, are you there? It's Ohgami...... Could I see you for a

minute?

Is that you, Lieutenant......? Visiting a lady's bedroom at such an

hour......

Well, all right. Go on...... please come inside.

In that case...... Forgive the intrusion.

Lieutenant...... What is the matter? You appear to beexhausted......

Well...... A lot of things did happen today, after all.

Certainly...... that is true. We did have our rehearsal for the

Even so...... My heart does leap at the appearance of a rival.

Our dance competition in Paris may have ended in a draw, but......

The next time...... we shall compete upon the stage! I shall show all fullwell...... the true skill of the top star!!

Lieutenant...... You would accept a stage competition between Erica-san and

myself, I trust?

Eh......? W-well......

Why, of course, I do not mind!! This...... looks to be interesting.

I...... have no intention of losing either to Erica-san or you, Lieutenant.

Let us have a good, fair competition.

In that case...... yes, I have it. The subject for the competition......

...will be, in keeping with Erica-san, a comedy, I would think.

Without this great a handicap, it would not be much of a competition, after

all.

Well then, Lieutenant...... I shall be counting on you when the time for the

competition comes.

......I got it. In that case, I'll be getting back to the patrol

right about now.

Yes...... Well, Lieutenant, good night.

In that case...... Forgive the intrusion for just a bit.

So...... what's up? You can't sleep?

No...... it's the usual patrol. It's just a little late.

Oh, that's right, Captain! Since Erica's come here, let's teach her

something about being Japanese.

Say...... There's a whole lot of stuff, right? Like food...... or karate.

Or the tenteko-mai. {7}

When you come to Japan, you've just got to experience all sorts of things,

after all.

Now if it's Erica we're talking about...... I wonder what would be good.

What do you think, Captain?

Let's see......

Should we teach her about cooking? When it comes to Japanese

cooking, there's all sorts of stuff, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah! That's it!!

Knowing her, she does like to eat a ton of good food, after all.

Ah, that's right! While you were gone in Paris, I studied up on my Japanese

cooking too.

I've really built up my repertory outside of just Okinawan cooking.

Heh, so what kind of food can you make now?

Boiled tofu and...... hiyakko. And after that...... sashimi andyakiniku, I guess. {8}

......If that's what you mean, then I think I can make those myself.

Well, what does it matter? More importantly, I can't wait! I hope

Orihime-kun...... Is she in her room, I wonder?

It's Ohgami...... Orihime-kun, are you awake?

What is it? It's open, so you can just come right in.

O- okay...... In that case, forgive the intrusion.

Coming to a lady's room at this hour - it really makes me question

your sense of delicacy!

This is why Japanese men are the worst!!

Ah- well...... Orihime-kun, what are you so angry about?

I'm not angry! I'm just fed up!!

Just because some girl comes here from Paris, you turn into putty in her

hands......

I- I haven't...... really turned into.......

And there you go making excuses...... How unmanly indeed.

You should take a good look at your face in that mirror there!

At my face, huh...... Let's see...... Really?

really are dense.

If you're this dense...... I have to feel sorry for Erica-san.



32/64

G-gee, when you put it so bluntly...... it kind of makes me look

like the villain here.

Though I don't really think that's the case......

It is! Try to understand, Orihime-kun!!

I think I do understand. So you can say that with that much

conviction, Lieutenant-san...... My opinion of you's improved just a little.

Y-you're right...... For now, hide in that dresser over ther.

Y-yes, I understand.

(......All right, she's hidden right in the dresser.)

Wait just a second. I'll be right there.

What were you doing? Were you by any chance...... talking with

someone?

N- no...... I was just dozing off a little...... But getting to

the point, what is it you need?

Ah, that's right. Well, there's no sense in standing out here

talking, so come on inside the room.

J- just a second...... Erica-kun!?

So this is your room...... It's rather plain, isn't it.

I thought you might have armor or o-sake here, like in Yoneda-san's room.

Y- yes, I suppose that's true...... Normally...... you'd have a

room like this.

Ah...... I'm standing in Ohgami-san's room, aren't I......

Eh-heh-heh...... My heart's kind of pounding.

Until I came to Tokyo, I thought I'd talk to you about all sorts of things,

but......

Why do you suppose this is? Right now...... I feel so happy just being by

your side alone.

That's right, Cosette! You must make us more money. Here now, your

hands have stopped working!!

......Yes. Mrs. Thenardier...... I understand.

What do you mean by those eyes!?! You should be angry with your

mother Fantine, who left you behind!

Cut!! Yeah...... that's a good scene. Sakura-kun, you seem to have

worked your emotions into it, too.

"Les Miserables," is it...... I myself read this story at the

monastery.

Now then, it's time for Maria-san and Sumire-san's scene now.

......Fantine, why do you work yourself so hard for your child's

sake?

Wanting one's child to be happy is only natural as a parent.

No matter how much it may cost, if I can buy happiness for my daughterCosette with mere money, then I shall pay whatever it costs.

But...... you've run yourself ragged just to make that money, now,

haven't you.

......Is there truly worth in going as far as destroying your body in

longing for your child's happiness?

Of...... of cour...... Excuse me...... Forgive me, lieutenant.Could we stop for a moment?

What's the matter, Sumire-kun? It's not like you to forget your

lines.

I'm just not sure anymore...... Can one truly...... buy happiness

for one's child with money?

Working for one's own sake, going so far as to one's beloved parents......I cannot bear it.

That's true...... I found myself caught on that part too.

For a child, isn't happiness being able to live with one's parents, even if

Erica-kun, what do you think? About this scene here?

Even if they may struggle, when the family is together, everyone can work

together.

Simply placing all the burden on the parents alone - I...... don't think

that's right.

I see...... So you feel the same way.

I understand. Let's change this scene the way Sumire-kun suggests.

39/64

The gold colored steam is filling the entire Ginza area!

Steam-powered machines have begun to go out of control!! The damage...... is

enormous!

Commander Yoneda! We're moving out!!

Yeah, I'll leave it up to you! Go, Ohgami!!

Wh-what!?

This shaking...... Could it be - the underground Mikasa's gone out

of control!?

Gold-colored steam is flowing into the Mikasa's steam engine vents in

enormous amounts!!

Output is rising from the Mikasa's engine room!! It is now at

280 percent! It's now surpassing its drive limit!!

The gold-colored steam is now spewing out all over Teito, using the Mikasa's

steam engine as an intermediary!!

Kuh...... So the connection from Mikasa's steam engine to all of

Teito has turned against us......

S-Steam-powered machinery malfunctions have begun throughout the

entire region of Teito!

It's just like what happened to Kohran at the Hana-Yashiki...... The

gold-colored steam is driving steam-powered machines out of control!!

At-at this rate...... Teito will be destroyed.

Isn't there anything we can do!? If we can hurry up and get out

there and destroy that Masou Kihei!

......It's no good. If we don't stop the Mikasa from going out of

control, Teito will not be saved.

Ohgami-san!! Please do something! If you don't, Teito will......

............

......I'll go. I'll stop the Mikasa.

you!?

I...... can't pilot the Kohbu!

Commander Yoneda......

And besides...... Just let me take care of the Mikasa. Please.

skill of the Paris Kagekidan!

Now we have a chance of victory. Captain, in both aboveground and

underground...... we should have no problems as far as military strength is

concerned.

Nooooo!!

Teikoku Kagekidan, go forth!

Prepare yourself!! We won't let you lay another finger on the

Tei-Geki!!

So you're the enemy who's been doing evil deeds in Tokyo!!

I, Erica Fontaine of the Paris Kagekidan, Hana-Gumi, shall punish you!

Consider my bullets to be punishment from God, and prepare yourself for

what's coming!!

Ohgami-kun, can you hear me? We've just received the results fromour analysis of that Masou Kihei!!

That Masou Kihei is receiving its power from the 'forcefields' situated at

four different corners in Ginza!

It seems to be drawing out five times as much battle strength as normal from

the power of the forcefields!

I see...... In that case......

Please stop the engine, without fail.

Now the large Masou Kihei's strengths should be diminished...... but

we can't afford to let our guard down......

All right...... Did we finish him!?

Abnormality Detected

Wh-what!? Has the Kohbu stopped dead already!?!

According to the calculations...... since we have the steam filters

attached, we should be able to fight for another hour!!

Ohgami-kun...... the amount of gold steam is an order of magnitude

greater than last time!!

No...... We can still make it! In order to save Commander Yoneda,

we can't afford to retreat right here......

The enemy's attacks...... I'm begging you, please work!

Lost Control

Abandon the Kohbu and get out of there! If this keeps up, the Kohbu

will go out of control!

Damn it...... Is there nothing we can do!?!

right!!

I- I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to worry you......

Commander Yoneda....... We kept our promise.

Yeah...... Thanks.

Now then...... Let us do the usual thing!


I think we should leave Jean Valjean and Fantine's scene the way it was

originally.


50/64

I was thinking of saying that as well.

Once I heard how Commander Yoneda felt...... I felt as though I couldunderstand what a parent's love is.

The love a child has for its parents...... The love a parent has for

its child...... I'm sure they're the same thing.

But just because...... the expression of that love may be different, I don't

think either of the two is wrong.

Commander Yoneda and Fantine...... Both purely wishing for thehappiness of their children rather than themselves...... a parent's love.

That scene...... I can finally see that the original direction, honestly

expresses a parent's love, is for the best.

Okay, I understand. If all of you say so, then let's do that.

Sorry to keep you waiting!! All right, let's do the victory pose!!

J-just a second!! Iris and Reni aren't here yet!!

Sorry to keep you waiting!! I've brought Reni with me!

You wouldn't mind if we joined in the victory pose too, would

you!?!

No, of course not. Now then, all of us are here together, right?

All right, here we go.

Victory...... pose!!

~ {Eyecatch 2-3} ~

Now then...... Shall we have the welcome party tonight?

That is an idea. The incidents in Teito have been resolved, after

all.

It's all thanks to everyone else. The Teikoku Kagekidan and the

Paris Kagekidan...... It's all because they were here for us.

No...... Despite all that, it was your great work that got them

all together as one.

Everyone knows it. Without you, there is no Floral Assault Group.

Manager......

Hmm...... Maybe I'm just overthinking this...... All of our enemies that

make use of the golden steam have been defeated.

Now then...... I'd better go attend that welcome party at the Tei-Geki.

Gwahh!!

That spiritual throne...... of silver...... Edo......

* * * * *

Big brother!! This way, this way!

Iris, if you keep running around all excited like that, you'll

fall down.

Ha-ha-ha...... Everyone looks like they're having a good time.

Ohgami-san, Ohgami-san!! They tell me that this is "wasabi." It

really makes your nose tingle!

Erica-kun...... Have you only been eating the wasabi by itself?

Here, Ohgami-san, you too - say ahh!

Ahh...... Gack! I...... don't really care much for wasabi......

Ah, is that so? It's really quite tasty once you get used to it.

So this is the 'Ginza Monjo' Ambassador Sakomizu mentioned......

Thanks, Kayama.

Do......don't mention it. Well, I've got business to take care

of......

And one more thing, Ohgami...... This whole incident's not over yet.

Don't...... let your guard down.

Kayama......

=== LIPS 2-28 ==>- a - ......Understood.

- b - You're not hiding something from me, are you?

- c - You really won't come to the party?

- time up -

You're not hiding something from me, are you? You like almost as

if you're in pain.

......It's nothing. Don't you...... worry yourself about it.

Don't worry about it...... I can't do that!

Ha-ha-ha...... Don't worry about it. I have no intention of

being a burden to you.

Next time you have a party...... I'll be sure to show up. Well, see

you...... Ohgami.

Kayama......

Kayama kun...... your...... back is injured, isn t it?

Come, now...... I would never be so careless...... as to get cut

across the back......

Kayama-kun!! Stop this tough-guy act at once!

I...... will never allow the line of thinking that says it's all right to

die.

I'll give you some of this ointment, handed down over the generations of the

Fujieda clan...... rub some on yourself.

......I understand. I humbly accept.

The enemy's...... still out there, isn't it?

Yes...... I'll reopen the investigation.

* * * * *

......'Ginza Monjo.' So the history of Ginza is written in thisbook......

Yes, come on in. The door's not locked.

Forgive the intrusion. Ohgami-kun...... did you receive the 'Ginza

Monjo' from Kayama-kun?

Yes, I was just about to read it.

I see...... Might I read it with you?

Sure...... I don't mind.

"......Ginza, together with Kinza, shalt be the village that

makes the foundation of Edo's monetary economy."

"Ginza...... through the use of silver, shalt be the land to ward off evil.

For that end, shalt the Kagura dance in Noh."

"The Kagura-mai shalt be the duty of the Ginza Konparu clan who defend Ginza.

The Konparu Nou-gakushi shalt communicate with the world beyond."

Evil is sealed within Ginza...... That's the first we've heard of that,


- a >

What does that mean, "Ginza and Kinza?"


56/64

Kinza produced gold coins...... while Ginza produced silver ones.

Together, they both produced money.

Kinza no longer exists, but Ginza, at least, still remains even now......

What's more, the 'Ginza Monjo' says 'through the use of silver, it shall ward

off evil'......

So, conversely, Kinza may have been a place that summoned evil.

Gold that summmons evil...... Could that have been that golden

steam......?

< a -

- b >

What does the Konparu-ryu have to do with the Kagura-mai?

Let's see...... It said they would seal off the evil of Ginza......

They danced the Kagura-mai, which was used in Noh to appease the gods.

You don't hear about it anymore these days, but during the Edo period, they

would present the Kagura-mai.

Now that you mention it...... When we all went to see the Noh

play, Iris and I......

We saw the illusion of a mysterious Noh-gakushi...... It looked almost like

a vengeful spirit.

I see...... If the both of you saw it, it may not be an illusion.

It maybe have been trying to tell you something.

It may be necessary to do some checking up on the Konparu-ryu Noh-gakushi of

Ginza.

Sakura Taisen 4: Act 2 Translation by KayamaVersion: 1.10 | Last Updated: 2002-07-03 | View/Download Original File

Hosted byReturn to Sakura Taisen 4 (DC) FAQs & Guides

spirits are said to symbolize harmonious marriage. Thus, as mentioned later,

the play is often performed at traditional weddings.

{3} "Nougakushi" ( ) is the name of a performer who puts on a Noh play.

{4} The "Kagura-mai" is a sacred Shinto dance offered to the gods. It is

apparently always performed by women.

{5} "Hyu-hyu" is sort of a whistle or catcall. Ci has more or less adopted

this as her trademark.

{6} From Feena, a French Sakura Taisen fan: "The name of the cake is 'Tartede Lintz'. I have never tried it myself, but it's some kind of raspberry pie

apparently. A correct translation would be 'Lintz pie' I guess. It's strange

that [it's referred to as] a biscuit [Iris uses the loanword 'bisuketto'

( ) in the above line], though, because it seems to be a pie."

Thanks goes to Feena for the information.

{7} 'Tenteko-mai' ( o ) is a figure of speech meaning "whirl of

business" or "humming with activity," indicating a state of activity so

busy one has no time to rest. "Tenteko" is the sound of the drums in

music played during festivals for the gods and the like.

{8} Tofu, as you may already know, is a very soft food made from the milk of

soybeans and used in a lot of asian cooking. Hiyakko consists of chilled

tofu pieces garnished with ginger and spring onion. Sashimi is essentially

raw fish served with soy sauce and wasabi (horseradish). Yakiniku is

grilled meat cooked on a griddle and eaten with vegetables cooked in the

same way.

{9} See the first 'Sakura Taisen' game.
