Dudes: Who will win this contest of skill in the end?!
Box: Abe no Seimei

Emperor?: Both of you! The final stage will be a contest of divination!
Emperor: I believe it was Douman's turn to pose the question.

Douman: Heh... Then let us go with this chest.
Douman: Well, Master Seimei? Why don't you try "divining the contents"!!

-08-
Seimei: Wh...
Seimei: That's...!

Youkai: !!

Douman: Is something the matter?
Douman: You're looking rather pale, Seimei.

Douman: Oh! So you've noticed, then?
SFX: smirk
Douman: This is an item you brought back from a certain place.

Douman: You understand what I'm saying, don't you, Seimei...?
SFX: eyes flashing
Douman: I, as well as a number of students, have witnessed it! I won't let you avoid this question!!

Courtier: What's all this...?
SFX: murmuring
Emperor: Seimei, your answer! The contents of the chest!

Seimei: .........
Seimei: There is a young boy inside...

-09-
Douman: Seimei!! You continue to play innocent
SFX: Fwhahahaha
Douman: Even now?!

Emperor: Douman, what is in the chest?!

Douman: Yes, Sire... It has been brought back from a graveyard by this man...
Douman: It is a corpse.

Dudes: A... A corpse?! [small text]Eeee!
Dudes: H-H-How repulsive~~!

Douman: Behold the wicked nature of this man!
Douman: Seimei!! What exactly have you been doing with corpses, night after night?!

Emperor: Well then... The contents of the chest were not as Douman announced.
Emperor: And yet, there is no denying that Seimei accurately described them.

Emperor: The winner of this contest
Text: Oooh!
Emperor: Is Seimei!!
Text: Kyahh!

Douman: Seimei... It can't be...
Douman: You... You've been trying your hand at the resurrection technique, haven't you...

Seimei: ...I haven't the faintest idea what you mean.

Seimei: Well. We'll leave it at that, shall we?

Kidoumaru: That was a close one...

Seimei: Hmph... That old fool is always causing trouble.

SFX: fwaaah...

Seimei: Look, Kidoumaru.
Seimei: It's a beautiful capital, don't you think?

Seimei: Ayakashi filling the skies...

Seimei: Humans living alongside nature...

Seimei: Sensing the fading light... fearing the darkness once night has fallen.
Seimei: This beautiful capital, the perfect combination of "yin" and "yang"... This is what I was able to accomplish.

-15-
SFX: ssssaaaa...
Seimei: ...I want to preserve the cosmic order of this capital for all eternity.
Seimei: It's for this reason that I have to live forever.

Seimei: And yet... Why must humans head unerringly towards death?
Seimei: Why must they need return once again to the darkness?

SFX: plunk

SFX: fssshhhh

Seimei: I have not yet perfected the resurrection technique.
Seimei: Even when I bring them back, they all end up like this again.

Seimei: Why is it that I can't live for a thousand years?
Seimei: ...There must be a way to fight against the underlying principles of the world.

Seimei: Listen, Kidoumaru... I will be reborn, without a shadow of a doubt.
Seimei: Using the perfected resurrection technique, I will be reincarnated!!
