BLOOD
8)
1: My house was a big mansion.
2: No matter how far I walked, there were always more rooms.
9)
1: I'd always get scared along the way and start running back.
10)
1: My older sister and I were both born in that mansion.
11)
1: I always played with her. No matter how much we played together, I never got bored.
12)
1: She was a very nice sister.
13)
1: When would go outside sometimes,
14)
1: and when we did, she would always hold my hand.
2: People would look back and stare at us.
15)
1: Whenever we had picnics together inside the mansion,
2: or when I would drop a cake that I was eating for a snack,
16)
1: Ahhh!
SFX: splat
2: she'd always give me all of hers.
17)
1: I loved my sister.
18)
1: But I hated every day of my life.
20)
1: I hated studying so much.
SFX: smack
2: You made another mistake!
3: How many times will it take for you to learn?!
21)
1: HA HI FU HE HO YA I YU (*tl note: Japanese alphabet)
2: Your older sister could draw every hiragana character when she was your age!
22)
1: Now, it's time for your piano lesson.
23)
1-2: dong dong
24)
1: Play it right! When your sister was your age, she had already finished the entire Bayer course!
2: That wasn't all I hated.
25)
1: Did you forget your morning greeting?
2: Mother!!
3: Your sister always did hers properly. And her footsteps were never as loud as yours.
26)
1: Right down to the most minute action, I was always compared with my sister.
27)
1: You forgot to bow again!!
28)
1: Sometimes, I would hide and cry by myself.
29)
1: When that happened, I would draw pictures to ease the pain.
30)
1: But someone would always appear and take my picture away from me.
2: Ahhh!
3: What is this?!
4: I can't even understand what it is you were trying to draw!
34)
SFX: rip
38)
SFX: slam
1: I am Orochi. I decided to follow this girl and watch her...
39)
1: after I decided to sneak in and peep inside this old-fashioned mansion.
40)
SFX: slam
42)
1: What a large mansion this is!!
2: Where could they have taken that girl? It might be time for her to have more lessons in manners. I'll have to go find her.
43)
1: And so, people kept comparing everything about the two sisters.
2: Despite that, they still got along well at the time.
3: One day, they decided to plant flower seeds.
4: The older sister's name was Kazusa, and the younger sister's name was Risa.
44)
1: You can have either one. This one has a white flower seed, and this one has a red flower seed. They're both the same kind of flower, just different colors.
2: I want the red flowers.
45)
1: Then they buried the flower seeds in the ground.
46)
1: Even when Kazusa wasn't there, Risa would go and take good care of the flowers on her own.
2: Then, both of the flowers bloomed.
3: Waaah!!
47)
1: How beautiful!!
2: This white flower is Kazusa's flower, yes?
3: And then there's this red flower...
4: Hmph!!
48)
1: If they're both the same kind of flower, then why isn't yours beautiful too?!
2: Can't you even raise a flower as well as your sister, Risa?!
3: What are you crying for?!
49)
1: Now, back to your rooms.
2: They only planted those flowers for fun, and yet...
50)
1: Ahhh!!
51)
1: What did she come back for?
54)
1: Why... Why is her flower so beautiful?
2: My flower's the red one...
3: What's different about hers?
4: Ahhh!!
SFX: snap
55)
1: The flower!!
56)
1: Wh-what should I do?!
2-3: Risa!!
4: Where is she?!
5: There are a lot of people here now!!
57)
1: Hey! What are you doing in a place like this?
2: Ahh! That flower!!
58)
1: Risa!! Did you get jealous of how much more beautiful your sister's flower was?!
2: You did, so you ripped it off, didn't you?!
3: N-no! No!! It just came off on its own!!
4: Silence!!
5: I was just looking at it! I just wanted to see how it bloomed, mother! Really!!
59)
1: I said silence!!
SFX: slap
SFX: Uwaaahhh
60)
1: What a horrible child you are! I don't remember raising you to act so twisted!!
SFX: Uwaaaahhh
61)
1: Once Risa became sick, the true horror began.
62)
1: Are you OK?
2: I'll nurse you back to health.
3: I'll do anything you want me to do.
4: Kazusa!!
5: I'll be nursing her.
63)
1: No, I'll do it. I'm her older sister, after all.
2: What a kind young girl! It looks like she's grown into another gracious member of the Monzen family! But in return, her little sister only ever causes problems...
64)
1: What's wrong, Risa?
2: Ahhh!!
SFX: bwap
65)
1: Looks like Risa's finally gotten better.
2: She came out of her room. Where is she going?
66)
1: She's heading to the kitchen...!!
SFX: creak
67)
1: Why is she sticking her hand into the garbage can?
69)
1: Oh, Risa. It's snack time.
2: Please wash your hands and sit down at the table.
70)
SFX: creak
71)
1: All ready? That one's yours, and the other one is for your sister.
2: This special pudding looks delicious, doesn't it?
72)
1: I'm going to go call your sister in.
SFX: slam
73)
1: What is she doing? She put something into her sister's snack!!
74)
1: Her sister's here!!
SFX: creak
2: Thank you for waiting.
75)
1: This pudding looks so good!!
2: Thank you very much for preparing it.
3: Huh? It looks like there's a hole in it.
4: Oh really? That's strange...
76)
1: It's delicious!!
2: Gehhhh
77)
1: Wh-what's wrong?!
78)
SFX: Gehhhhh
1-2: Ahhhh!!
SFX: kyaaaaahhh
79)
1: Kazusa!!
80)
1: Kazusa!!
81)
1: Luckily, she didn't suffer any serious injuries.
82)
1: Risa!!
2: Come here!!
3: You need to apologize to your sister!!
83)
1: There as something rotten in the trash can, wasn't there?! Someone saw you stick your hand inside it!!
2: Wh-what were you thinking?!
3: Do you even realize what kind of a family you were born into?!
84)
1: Please forgive me, mother!!
2: Why did Risa do that...?!
3: Did she really get jealous of her sister?
85)
1: I can't believe what a horrible child you are!! You're nothing like your big sister!!
2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kazusa!! I put something rotten in your pudding!!
3: That's OK. It doesn't bother me anymore.
4: But I wanted you to get sick!
86)
1: What?!
2: You wanted her to get sick?!
3: No! No!
4: I just wanted to nurse her!!
5: I wanted her to get sick so I could nurse her! That's why I wanted her to get sick...
87)
1: Terrible!! Why would you ever want your sister to get sick?!
2: No! No!!
SFX: waahh
3: Whenever you're in trouble, all you ever do is cry to try and distract people!!
SFX: waaahhh
88)
1: Risa!!
SFX: bwap
2: She really looks like she's under a lot of stress. Where is she going?
89)
SFX: creak
SFX: slam
91)
SFX: creak
92)
1: What could she be planning to do with that knife?
2: Maybe she's going to stab someone?! Because she's mad at her sister or her mother...
3: She's walking down one of the deserted back halls. I'm a bit worried, but I'll follow her to see what happens.
SFX: creak...
SFX: slam
93)
1: What is she doing, bending down toward the floor like that?
2: No matter how painful her life must be, a little girl like her would never think to kill herself...
SFX: drip
94)
1: It's red!!
2: My blood really is red!! It isn't black or green!!
3: It isn't the least bit different from my sister's! It's the same! It's the same kind of blood that I saw on the spot where she fell from the window!!
4: Then aren't I smart like she is?
5: Why are we different?
6: We have the same blood!!
7: She cut her finger with the knife... Her mother's going to yell at her again!!
95)
1: It wasn't until Risa started attending elementary school that she truly started to feel clearly inferior to her sister Kazusa.
2: Risa attended a famous school that everyone knew of.
3: When she started attending it, Kazusa was already in the third grade there.
4: Don't worry, Risa. They're all nice people. If you don't understand anything, just ask someone.
SFX: smack
5: Risa!!
6: Your big sister got 100 points on this problem!!
7: Risa, go look at your sister's calligraphy!! You saw the piece that's hanging in the entryway, right?!
8: That's Kazusa's little sister... Kazusa's so much sweeter and brighter than she is.
96)
sign: Report Card - Monzen Risa
1: What is this, Risa?!
2: You have five less 5s than your sister!!
SFX: smack
3: Don't you realize how hard we're all working here?!
4: The Monzen family isn't a normal family!! Don't you understand that the eyes of the public are always on us?!
5: Don't you care if people think of you as a stupid girl?!
6: You need to get your act together, or you'll embarrass everyone!! Don't you care about embarrassing your big sister or your mother?!
7: You aren't a child anymore! You can't keep acting like you always have!!
8: As Risa grew older, she started becoming more sensitive to how she was always compared to her sister.
97)
1: Then, Risa began to go out of her way
2: to avoid people altogether.
3: Risaaaa!!
4: Oh my!!
5: How rude. Why does she have to run away from us?
6: Even when she was at home...
SFX: vroooom
SFX: blam
7: She hardly ever spoke with anyone unless she had to.
8: Welcome home.
98)
1: She especially avoided crossing paths with her sister Kazusa.
2: She often shut herself up her in room, and gradually became more and more silent.
99)
1: Soon, Kazusa and Risa became teenagers.
2: The Monzon family started entertaining more and more guests,
3: and many parties were held.
4: During these parties, the conversation would always drift to how beautiful the two sisters had become,
5: and Risa would always glare at all the people
6: who gathered around her big sister.
7: Kazusa noticed this,
8: and tried to compliment her sister as best she could,
9: but that only hardened Risa's expression.
10: She would even go into her room and cry by herself after the parties ended.
100)
1: This only turned Risa into even more of a silent, gloomy, twisted woman...
101)
1: Soon Kazusa found a husband and took over the Monzen family.
2: Her younger sister Risa married as well and moved far away to live with his family. This was something that Risa had been deeply hoping for - a family who had very thin ties with the Monzen.
3: And so, she finally escaped the oppression of the Monzen family.
4: But that was only the beginning of even greater oppression...
5: Suddenly, Kazusa's husband got sick...
6: Wahhh!
7: And Kazusa was left all alone.
8: I couldn't possibly remarry!! And besides, who would want an old woman like me?!
9: But you have to, or else the Monzen bloodline will die out!!
102)
1: After checking in on Kazusa,
2: I went to go check on Risa in Kyushu
3: Risa's husband was the manager of a hotel.
4: He was a very flashy man,
5: and never stopped fighting with Risa.
SFX: slap
6: You're so boring! Just leave already, why don't you?!
7: Fine then, I will!!
103)
1: You think I actually want to be here?!
SFX: wham
SFX: klak x3
SFX: slam
SFX: vroom x3
SFX: vroooosh
104)
SFX: squeaaaal
1: Oh no! She's drunk!!
2: She's going to crash!!
SFX: squeal x2
SFX: screeech
3: I did my best to protect Risa's body.
105)
1: There was a car crash!!
SFX: screech
2: She's just unconscious!! It was such a horrible crash, yet somehow she didn't get a single scratch on her!!
3: The man who was riding shotgun died instantly!!
4: By that time, I had already left the scene.
5: Good. It looks like Risa survived.
6: Luckily, my injuries aren't that serious either. They should heal quickly with a little rest.
7: Protecting Risa ended up making me even more interested in following the lives of the two sisters.
106)
SFX: vrooom...
1: But that's when it happened...
2: I'm tired!!
3: Oh no! All of a sudden I'm getting really tired in a place like this!!
4: But why now?! This wasn't supposed to happen... for another decade!!
107)
1: I can't do this here!! I need to hurry up and find a proper spot!!
2: I've watched Kazusa and Risa for their entire lives so far... I don't want to have to stop now!!
3: Will they even be alive the next time I'm able to visit the Monzen family?
4: Will I even be able to wake up again?!
5: Aaahh, I'm so tired!!
6: I'm going to fall asleep!!
108)
1: I'm so tired!!
SFX: wham
2: Uuuu...!!
109)
1: I-I can't go to sleep here...
2: They'll think I collapsed and try to treat me.
3: I need to use my last remaining strength and run as far as I can!!
4: Until I reach a spot where no one will find me!!
5: But why am I getting sleepy now? It's only supposed to come once every hundred years... Why now?!
110)
1: It came a decade earlier than it should have. Why?
2: I know!! The shock that I received when I protected Risa from that car accident must have forced my sleepiness to come sooner!!
3: The last time I slept was around the year 1900.
4: Before that, I went to sleep toward the end of the 1800 decade. And before that...
5: The only reason I've been able to survive this long is because of the long slumber I engage in once every 100 years.
6: If I don't sleep, I'll age just like normal people and die!
7: I can't go on any further! My eyesight is blurring!!
111)
1: I ran as far as I could.
2: Ahhh!!
3: Waahhh!!
112)
1: I had no idea what happened to me, or where I fell.
SFX: thud
2: And then my mind faded away.
113)
1: How many years passed while I slept?
2: Whether or not a lot of time passed, I woke up from my slumber with a start.
3: It was strange awakening unlike anything I'd experienced before.
4: Huh...?
5: Where am I?
114)
1: That's when I started to realize something strange had happened...
2: I-I can't move!!
3: M-my fingers...
4: My eyes... my mouth...!!
5: I-I can't speak either!!
6: What happened to me?!
7: Ahhh!!
8: Aaaahhh!!
9: Aaahhh!!
10: My body's moving.
11: It's starting to fold up the futon!!
115)
1: My body's moving on its own!!
SFX: fsssh x2
2: It's washing my face!!
3: But what am I doing here?
4: I changed my clothes, and now I'm putting on makeup.
5: Ahhh!!
116)
1: This isn't me!!
2: My face never looked this sad!!
SFX: knock x2
3: How long are you going to sleep for? It's me! Open up!!
SFX: rattle
SFX: slap
4: What are you waiting for?! It's already time! What are you going to do if everyone else gets to all the good spots before us?!
5: What do you look so dissatisfied for?!
6: Hurry up and get ready, and then come downstairs! I'll be waiting at the entrance to the apartment with dad, OK?!
SFX: smack
7: Who was that? What happened to me while I was asleep?
8: I don't get it... Something must have happened right after I fell asleep.
117)
SFX: rattle
1: Yoshiko, how long do you intend to keep us waiting?!
2: C'mon! It's time to go! We aren't rich people who have all the time in the world!!
SFX: creak
3: Look! The neon lights in Shinjuku are already lit up!
4: Listen carefully, Yoshiko! Even if a customer makes fun of you like yesterday, you can't cry! It's pathetic!!
5: No one will come near us if you get all gloomy at every little thing that happens!
6: I hope you haven't forgotten how we went out of our way to save you from wandering around with those vagrants,
7: and gave you a place to live and cared for you as you grew up!
118)
1: We're paying a lot of money to rent that apartment for you, you know!! You need to work hard, or else there's going to be trouble!!
2: Enough whining already. Just make sure she works hard!!
3: You be quiet!! You can barely even call yourself a singer! You're so talentless that drinking alcohol to roughen up your voice and playing guitar is the only choice you have!!
4: Not to mention her! She couldn't sing to save her life!!
5: She's a tiny bit cute, though, so she manages to draw in a few customers! That's all!!
6: Now, it's time to begin! Ready, Yoshiko?!
SFX: rattle
7: Good evening. We're a traveling family of musicians.
119)
1: Oh, we don't need you today. We've got some customers who prefer things to be quiet.
2: I see. Please excuse me, then. I'll come back another day.
SFX: hahahaha
3: Hmph! Those stingy assholes!!
4: Yoshiko! When that sort of thing happens, you need to look friendlier and try to coax them into taking us!!
5: We'll try that bar next.
6: Good evening. We're a traveling family of musicians. Would you like to hear a song?
7: Sure!
8: Does that girl sing?
9: Yes, we play our guitars along with her singing.
10: Can you sing 'Shinjuku Crow?'
120)
1: Yes!!
2: No matter what I try, I can't do anything about this. It's like I've been stuffed into a robot. I'll just have to watch and see what happens.
3: OK then, Yoshiko, sing the song for them.
4: The Shinjuku crow lost its nest in the back streets with their swirling neon lights...
5: He doesn't know what tomorrow ill bring... He just wanders alone for today... deep at the bottom of the night...
SFX: screech
6: Hello?
7: Ahhh!
8: It's me, the woman who came to visit you earlier.
9: Today, I've come to take Yoshiko home!
121)
1: Yoshiko, how do you feel? I want to hear it from your mouth. Will you come with me or not?
2: B-but she's...!!
3: Yes, as promised, I brought the 3 million yen with me.
4: You don't need to hold back, Yoshiko. You and I share the same blood. We're family.
5: Auntie!!
6: That's it. Come to me.
7: Get in the car.
SFX: slam
SFX: vroom
122)
SFX: Vroom
1: What's going on here?
2: Who is this woman?
3: I have no idea where she's planning to take me.
4: I have no choice but to go with her, though, since my body keeps moving on its own...
123)
1: Yoshiko, I know you've been through hell, you poor thing!!
2: Will I really be able to live a happy life now?
3: Of course. Your great aunt has been waiting for you!
4: We have no other family. If only you knew how hard we've searched for you...
5: I'm glad you have a gentle soul, though. Everyone will be so pleased. Soon, you should see the mansion.
6: I didn't tell you this yet, but... It actually belongs to the Monzen family.
7: The Monzen family?!
124)
1: The Monzen family!!
2: The same family as Kazusa and Risa...
3: What a coincidence. I never thought I'd be reunited with them like this!!
4: But why can't I move my body as I please? I can't even control my own blinks.
5: And who's this older lady? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before...
6: Did I surprise you, Yoshiko?
7: It's the truth, though. We're heading to the mansion of the famous Monzen family.
125)
1: You're a distant relative who shares our blood.
2: And that's not all. From this day forward, you're going to live together with us!!
3: OK? Starting today, you're a daughter of the Monzen family!!
4: O-OK!!
126)
1: Now I remember this place. We really are going to the Monzen mansion.
2: But why did I turn into this orphan named Yoshiko? I don't remember a thing about her.
3: I fell asleep, then I have no idea what happened next.
4: The bandage is missing from my right hand!!
5: Just what happened to me?!
6: As confusion overtook me, the car continued to head straight toward the Monzen mansion.
7: Soon, it had entered the mansion's grounds.
8: That's it, Yoshiko...
127)
1: The Monzen mansion!!
SFX: screech
2: We got out of the car by the gate and went inside.
SFX: flap x3
128)
1: The massive mansion hadn't changed a bit.
SFX: creak
2: But for some reason, I felt like the overall atmosphere had changed.
3: What's different about it?! Don't know... It looks like it's somehow become dilapidated. Could that be why? No, that isn't it.. There's something else. SOmething i can't see, something that can't be put into words...
4: The older lady and I walked along the stone path.
SFX: klak x2
5: Yoshiko.
6: There's something I must tell you.
129)
1: As I've said many times before, from this day forward, you are a daughter of the Monzen family!!
2: In exchange for that, you will be in charge of your great aunt, my older sister... It will be your job to nurse her back to health.
3: She has a bad heart, which has made her bedridden.
4: Oh my...
5: A bad heart?!
6: Do you understand?
7: Yes.
8: I'll do my best to nurse her back to health.
9: Look. There's the entrance, Yoshiko.
130)
1: You don't need to be surprised. The maids are just there waiting to welcome you.
2: Welcome, Yoshiko. We've been waiting for you.
3: Now, no need to hold back. Please go inside.
4: This way...
5: Doesn't it amaze you? This is your new home.
6: You should change into some new clothes before you go to meet your great aunt. We've already prepared some for you.
131)
1: This is your room.
SFX: creak...
2: This all belongs to you now.
3: Here, put this on.
4: I can't believe I get to live in a mansion like this... Could I be dreaming?!
132)
1: And I can't believe people are being so nice to me...!!
2: Ho ho ho... It isn't a dream. From this day forward, you're going to live a happy life here.
3: You look so beautiful, I can hardly recognize you!! Look closely at yourself.
4: Now, let's go visit your great-aunt.
5: My great-aunt... Just what kind of person is she? Gradually, I became more and more interested in her.
6: What kind of a person is she?
133)
1: I said exactly what was on my mind.
2: She's a very gentle soul.
3: She's a flawless person...
4: Once you see her, you'll understand.
5: Here we are.
SFX: knock x2
6: Come in.
SFX: creak
SFX: creak...
134)
1: I feel like I've seen her somewhere before...
2: But no matter how hard I thought, I just couldn't remember where.
3: And where are Kazusa and Risa now?
4: This is Yoshiko...
135)
1: I-I'm Yoshiko...
2: You...?
3: Welcome. Be sure you make yourself at home here.
4: You poor thing... You must have been through so much.
5: May I take my leave now?
6: Yes. If I need you, I'll call for you.
7: OK...
8: Yoshiko... Please take care of my older sister for me.
9: O-OK!!
10: If you have any questions, please come and ask me at once.
136)
1: Now then, good night.
2: Good night.
SFX: creak
SFX: slam
3: Yoshiko, since this was all so sudden, it must have surprised you.
4: My younger sister and I have no more family left... So she became worried about me and went to search for you.
5: Ever since I lost my health, my sister has cared for me. She's the kindest sister anyone could have.
6: Wh-when did you get sick?
7: I've been bedridden for quite a while. That's why all my hair is white.
8: It's really gotten that bad?
137)
1: Yes. Whenever I move my body, I feel pain. That's why I have to stay in bed.
2: I was told that there is no cure...
3: Oh my!!
4: I shouldn't have asked that...!!
5: Gradually, my body's movements began to match up with my emotions.
6: Ho ho ho.
7: It's fine. You don't need to worry about it.
8: More importantly, did you feel disappointed that you came all the way here just to meet a sick person like me?
9: No, of course not. I'll do my best to nurse you!!
10: Thank you.
11: Umm... Could you please tell me your name, and your sister's name?
138)
1: Oh, that's right. I completely forgot. My name is...
2: Kazusa...
3: And my sister's name is...
4: Risa.
5: Kazusa!!
6: Risa!!
7: I knew it!!
8: I had a feeling this might be them...
9: That's why I felt like I had seen them somewhere before!!
10: The reason something seemed different about the mansion is because decades have passed since I last saw it...
11: A-and the person before me now is the older sister, Kazusa!!
139)
1: While I was asleep, decades passed here!!
2: Kazusa and Risa also aged...
3: What happened to them while I was asleep?!
4: And what happened to me...?
140)
1: Oh, Yoshiko, you can go to sleep now. I'll tell you more about our family tomorrow.
2: OK...
3: Good night, then.
4: Good night.
SFX: creak
5: I left Kazusa's room.
6: What happened to me?
7: Although I didn't realize it, my emotions were slowly mixing in with Yoshiko's.
8: Soon, the word "I" began to refer to not just myself, but Yoshiko as well.
SFX: creak
141)
SFX: chirp chirp...
1: Yoshiko, good morning.
2: Oh, good morning.
3: I figured you didn't know where the dining room is, so I came to get you.
4: There, I ate an extravagant breakfast unlike anything I'd ever seen before.
5: Everyone was very nice to me.
6: I'm as happy as could be. I don't know how to thank you...
7: In order to thank them, I did my best to take care of Kazusa.
8: Once every three days, a doctor would come to check up on her.
9: You look a bit better today.
142)
1: Thank you... I feel a bit better too.
2: Now, please take care... I'll leave your medicine here.
3: Please make sure she takes it once every two hours.
4: Yes! I promise!!
5: Whenever the doctor would check on Kazusa and see that she had become even the least bit better, he would happily encourage her and then leave.
6: But I knew that it was nothing more than talk.
7: After all...
8: I had learned to figure out what kind of a condition Kazusa was really in by checking on what sort of medicine she received.
9: And that wasn't all. I also knew that her condition was getting worse, even though it was happening so slowly that no signs were visible.
10: Poor Kazusa...
143)
1: I can't believe she's able to stay so dignified despite knowing everything...!!
2: She looks so noble!! She must have already prepared herself to die. That's why she's able to remain so noble...
3: I want to help my kind and noble great-aunt survive no matter what it takes!!
4: She fell asleep...
5: I know. Since she can't walk, I'll go pick some flowers for her to give her a taste of some fresh air.
6: I worked as hard as I could for Kazusa.
7: And whatever I couldn't do for Kazusa, Risa did.
8: Risa also did whatever Kazusa requested.
144)
1: Risa was such a nice woman...
2: Thank you, Risa. I'll have Yoshiko take care of the rest.
3: OK.
4: Everyone's so nice here. I never imagined there was a place on this earth filled with so many nice people!!
5: I'm so happy right now...
6: If this isn't happiness, then what is?!
145)
1: Yoshiko... Do you know what I always look forward to?
2: Waking up every morning and seeing you...
3: Great-aunt! I feel the same way...
4: Living here with you makes me happier than anything else could.
5: I hope we can keep living like this forever...
146)
1: I've never had a mother... But living here with you has come to made me feel like you're my real other!!
2: From now on... may I call you mother?
3: Yes!! I feel like you're my real daughter as well... Your face reminds me so much of my own face when I was young...
SFX: waaahhh
4: Mother!!
147)
1: That's when it started...
2: You can go now. It's gotten late.
3: You don't need to worry about me.
4: Good night then, mother. If you need something, please ring the bell.
SFX: click
5: I'm so happy. There couldn't be any greater happiness than this.
148)
1: Ahhh!!
2: Wh-who did this?!
SFX: hahahahahahaha
149)
SFX: hahahahahahahaha
SFX: hahaha hahaha
1: Auntie!!
SFX: hahahahaha
150)
1: It-it couldn't be...
2: That's right! I did it!!
151)
SFX: slap
1: Kyaaaah!
SFX: slam
2: Wh-what are you doing?!
3: Do you know how much I've had to bear up until now?!
4: You couldn't possibly understand!!
SFX: slap
5: Ahhh!!
6: Please, stop!! What is this, all of a sudden?! Have you gone mad?!
7: Hmph! I haven't gone mad at all!!
8: I never thought you were even the least bit cute from the very beginning!!
152)
1: You're nothing but a poor little orphan, and now you think it's OK to act like a real member of our family?!
2: What?!
3: I didn't know that I'd offended you!! If I did something wrong, please tell me, and I'll stop!!
4: Hmph! I don't care about that!!
5: Your face!! Your voice!! I hate it all so much that it makes me want to puke!! I can't take it anymore!!
6: Th-then wh-why did you bring me here?!
7: Wh-why?! In the beginning, you said my face and voice resembled that of a Monzen's... You seemed so happy!!
8: You're the one who brougtme here,
9: remember?!
10: Hahaha!!
11: If you don't want to stay here, then just go ahead and leave!!
153)
1: Just get out!!
2: No!!
3: What?!
4: Ahhh!!
5: Mother!!
6: It's locked!!
7: Mother!!
SFX: bang x2
8: Wahhh!!
9: Why?!
10-11: Take this!!
SFX: whap x2
154)
SFX: whap x2
1: Mother!!
2: Shut up!!
3: I hate it when you say that word!!
SFX: whap x2
4: Kyaaaahhh
5: No matter how much you cry, no one will hear your screams!!
6: That's why I chose to put you in this room!!
7: Take this!! And that!! And that!!
155)
SFX: whap x4
1: Haa, haa...!!
SFX: haa x4
SFX: stomp
2: Hmph! She lost consciousness!!
3: Maybe I beat her a little too hard.
4: Heh! No, of course not!! If you think this was enough to make me feel better, you're in for a big surprise!!
156)
1: You hear me?! If you think this is over now, you're in for a big surprise!! Just watch! I'm going to make you regret what you've done even more!!
2: But I'll leave it at here for today.
SFX: slam!
3: How long did I stay unconscious for?
4: Nnngh!!
5: Ahhh!!
6: She's gone!!
7: It's almost morning.
8: Wh-why did she do all those horrible things?!
157)
1: I don't understand. The only thing I can think of is that she's gone insane.
2: Why does she hate me so much? My voice and my face? Why?! In the beginning, she seemed so happy to find me...
3: And why am I not allowed to call my great-aunt mother?
4: She was the one who wanted us to get along, and who brought me here to care for her...
5: What could I have done to make her hate me?! Why would she do all these horrible things?!
6: I'm not going to leave!! I made a promise with my mother...
7: No matter what my aunt says, I'm not going anywhere!!
8: Something must be wrong with her. If I put some time between us and then go to see her again, I'm sure she'll be back to normal.
9: No matter how I think about it, it's all just too crazy to be true...
158)
1: I must have done something wrong that I didn't even notice.
2: My life so far was just too harsh...
3: I must have done something uncalled for, or somehow let the miserable side of me get out. That must be it!!
4: From now on, I'll need to be more careful and work my hardest to make sure the both of them, and everyone else likes me!!
5: I finally found a happy life for myself. I don't want to let it get away from me!!
6: I don't want to leave this mansion!!
7: Mother!!
8: I finally found such a kind, wonderful mother!!
9: I'm not leaving this mansion!!
159)
SFX: ring ring ring
1: That's the bell. Mother's calling for me.
2: What could be wrong? Did she suddenly get upset too?!
3: If I go and see her like this, she might worry.
4: But what should I do? My aunt ripped up all my clothes!!
5: I need to hurry...
6: Her health must have suddenly taken a turn for the worse!!
7: Mother!!
8: I became so worried about Kazusa
9: and wanted to go and see her so badly, that I accidentally broke the no running in the hall rule.
160)
1: I can't tell her about what happened with my aunt.
SFX: creak
2: Mother!!
3: The moment I saw her face, for some reason, tears started pouring out from my eyes.
4: Yoshiko, what's wrong?!
5: I woke up and suddenly felt like I wanted to see you. I thought you might still be sleeping,
6: but I ended up pushing the button anyway.
7: Mother!!
161)
SFX: waaahhh
1: What's wrong? Did something happen?!
2: Go on, tell me.
3: We promised not to hide anything from each other, didn't we?!
4: Uuuuu!!
5: Crying won't tell me anything.
6: Is it really OK for me to tell you anything? You won't start to hate me?
7: Of course not. There isn't another person as kind and wonderful as you in the world.
8: Now, tell me what happened.
9: OK...
10: Last night, when I returned to my room, I saw that it was a mess... And then... My aunt was standing inside...
11: Then she said she hated me... And slapped me!
12: Oh my...!!
162)
1: I must have done something wrong. But I can't think of what it was...
2: I see. So that's why you look so terrible...
3: I promised myself I wouldn't tell her, but as soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but to seek comfort from her, and so I told her everything.
4: I see...
5: I think I know what the reason is, though.
6: What? What is it?!
7: Ever since my little sister was young, she's had a very violent temperament...
8: She always felt confined by the strict rules of the Monzen family.
9: That's why she decided to marry a wealthy man who had very thin ties with us. But in the end, her personality didn't match with him either, so she came back home.
10: On her way home, she was in a car accident, and her husband died. By the time she returned to this mansion, she was already carrying a burden that was too heavy for her to bear.
163)
1: And so, my younger sister started living with us again.
2: Soon my heart problem was discovered, and I became bedridden. All the responsibility of caring for me fell on her.
3: That's why... it's no one's fault.
4: We share the same blood, but my sister was born a free spirit, so from time to time, she becomes unable to handle this confinement, and becomes hysteric.
5: But she's really a kind person. Even after she contacted our relatives and found out where you were...
6: She knew that bringing you here would cheer everyone up.
7: But that all has nothing to do with you. I'll talk to my sister to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
8: B-but...
SFX: knock x2
164)
1: It's Aunt Risa!! She came to say her morning greeting.
2: Go over there and hide behind that pillar.
SFX: creak
3: Good morning. How are you feeling?
4: Risa... I need to speak with you...
5: Then, Risa started speaking in a soft voice.
6: As Kazusa scolded her, Risa started to look very frightened, as if she was a completely different person.
7: She kept nodding the entire time and listened to everything that Kazusa told her.
8: I can't believe she's the same person who did all that last night...!!
9: Finally, Kazusa finished speaking.
165)
1: Yoshiko, it's all right now.
2: She apologized many times and admitted that it was her fault.
3: It seems like she just got worked up. She was planning to apologize to you. She also said she'd fix your room back up...
4: I spent the rest of that day by Kazusa's side.
5: I don't feel like eating, so I'll go and tell them.
6: What?!
7: But it won't be good for your body if you don't eat.
8: But I don't want to.
9: I-I see... So be it. But you need to make sure you eat tomorrow.
10: OK. Thank you.
SFX: creak
166)
1: Ahh!!
SFX: slam
2: Ahh! Auntie!!
SFX: Uuuu
3: I've been waiting for you to come out.
4: You're coming with me!!
5: Wh-what are you doing?!
SFX: slam
SFX: shove
SFX: smack
6: How dare you?! You little rat!!
167)
1: You told her, didn't you?!
2: Where did you think you were going?!
3: I-I don't feel like eating, so I was going to the dining room to tell them...
4: Hmph! You were planning to go on and tell everyone that you lost your appetite because of what I did to you, huh?!
5: N-no!!
6: Ho ho ho! I figured that'd be the case!! You think I'm just going to let you do that?!
7: Now, it's time to eat!!
8: Ahh!!
9: That's your meal right over there! Make sure you eat it all up!!
10: Ahhh!!
11: C'mon! C'mon!!
12: Aaaahhh!!
13: Aahhhh!!
168)
1: And so, not only did Risa never start being nice to me, she continued to bully me when I wasn't with Kazusa.
2: As I told Kazusa about all the torture I suffered, her health gradually got worse and worse.
3: Blood...!!
4: She bullied you again?
5: Then, one day, the doctor said something.
6: The truth is...
7: If we found someone who the same blood type and constitution as you,
8: we could perform a heart transplant and save you.
9: What?!
169)
1: A heart transplant?!
2: Yes... Now we know that there's a possibility that you could survive through the surgery.
3: If we can find someone with the same blood type..
4: The reason I didn't tell you this earlier was because I didn't have any solid evidence.
5: But please rejoice. Now we've found a chance for you to survive!
6: No...
7: I don't want a heart transplant.
8: I'm fine the way I am...
170)
1: I don't want to force myself to survive.
2: I want to leave my survival up to God.
3: What nobility... She's accepting her fate just as it is... just like God...
4: I'll do anything for her!!
5: I'd even give up my heart for her!!
6: I intend to quietly obey my fate.
7: I see. I thought you'd say that.
8: However, just for the record, the surgery isn't possible unless the donor's blood type and leukocyte antigens match yours.
9: The heart also needs to be fresh and healthy...
10: We'd never be able to find someone like that.
11: You're right. There's no way we'd find such a perfect donor...
171)
1: Your blood type is also RH-, a very special type, so it'd have to be another person like that...
2: RH-...!!
3: But I thought that talking to you about this might be able to give you some hope and energy...
4: I'm RH- too!!
5: What?!
6: I have Mongen blood in me, remember?!
7: Waahhhh
8: What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?!
9: Mother!!
10: I want to give you my heart!!
172)
1: But I can't, and it hurts!!
2: Please! Please save my mother!!
3: If I die, and my heart can help her, please use it to save her!!
4: Please!!
SFX: Wahhh
5: Enough about that already!!
6: Now, now, stop crying.
7: I'll take my leave now.
173)
1: From that day forward, Risa started torturing me even more.
SFX: Hoot x2
2: Yoshiko, are you in there?!
SFX: bang x2
3: Yoshiko!!
4: Risa is looking for you, and she'll be here soon!!
5: What? Why?!
6: Her favorite diamond ring went missing, so she's gone into a panic.
7: But then why is she looking for me?
8: Sshhh!!
9: Here she comes. If she finds me, there's no telling what she'll do, so I need to go...
174)
1: Auntie!!
2: Are you the one who stole my diamond ring?!
3: No... I-I don't know anything about it!!
4: Hmph! But you're the only one who would do something like that!!
5: I'm going to find it!!
6: Ahh!!
SFX: rustle x2
7: Please!!
8: Please stop! I'll do it!!
SFX: snap
9: Aahhh!!
175)
1: There's a diamond ring in my handbag! How did it get in there?!
2: I can't find it!!
3: You must have hid it!!
4: N-no...!!
5: That's the handbag you always carry around!!
6: Show it to me!!
7: I said show it to me!!
8: Aaahhh!
176)
1: Aahhh!!
2: I knew it!!
3: I-I don't know how it got in there!!
4: Heheheh. Time to make you regret what you've done, you little cat burglar!!
5: Kyaaahh!!
SFX: wham
SFX: scratch
6: Ahhh!!
SFX: AAAHHH
177)
1: You never learn, do you? Well you've really done it this time!!
SFX: wham
SFX: Aaahhh
SFX: scratch
SFX: Gyaaaahhhh
SFX: scratch
SFX: Gyahhh
2: Haa, haa...!!
3: You did something absolutely horrible, so you should be thankful that you got off that easily!!
SFX: Uuuu
SFX: Uuuuuuu
4: Yoshiko!!
178)
1: Goodness gracious!!
2: Risa really is a monster!!
3: I haven't said anything so far, but she really is a monster!! Everyone else says the same about her!!
4: We've card for Kazusa and Risa since they were very small.
5: But that woman is a monster!!
6: Kazusa is so kind and upstanding, but her younger sister Risa has always been an inhuman monster, ever since she was little!!
7: Everyone acts nice to her in person, but they're all afraid of her!!
8: But none of us can understand why she hates you so much.
9: And if she saw one of us caring for you like this, there's no telling what she'd do to us!!
10: So I must go.
11: If I stayed any longer, she'd only punish you worse than me anyway.
179)
1: I'll leave bandages and medicine for you here.
2: She must have put her ring in there when I wasn't looking. Then she made me find it...
3: Soon or later she's going to kill me!!
4: But I'm not leaving this mansion!!
5: No matter what happens!!
6: Risa's horrible torture continued...
7: Once, she even put poison in her own food, which just happened to be food that I had prepared for her.
8: When she beat me then, I felt like I was really going to die.
9: Kyaaaahh
180)
1: Kazusa worried about me more than anyone.
2: In fact, she became so worried that her health got shockingly worse than it had ever been.
3: She only has a little bit of time left!!
4: That's when I realized that no matter what happened, I couldn't let her notice even a sliver of my pain.
5: But Risa continued to torture me. And she was always watching me, so I could never leave the mansion.
6: Once, the carpet caught fire near Risa's room,
7: and without even trying to put it out, she grabbed me and tried to throw me into it.
8: She had been the one who set the fire.
SFX: Gwooosh
9: The horrors continued.
182)
1: Ahh!!
2: Yoshiko, you made a doll of me?!
3: You did that because you hate me, didn't you?!
4: No!!
5: Don't try to make excuses!!
6: Look at this! It's made from your clothes!! That's proof!!
SFX: yank
7: You want to do to me what you did to this doll, don't you?!
8: No!!
183)
1: Kyaaaahhh
2: Kyaaahhh!!
3: Heeeelp!!
4: Mother!!
SFX: wham
5: Ahhhh!
184)
SFX: haa x2
1: Mother!!
2: S-someone, please come and help!!
3: Mother!!
4: Maids, where are you?!
185)
1: I need to call the doctor!!
SFX: dash x3
2: Ahhh
SFX: slip
SFX: fwooosh
SFX: thud
SFX: crack
186)
1: I'm going to die!!
2: My body is about to die!! I broke something!!
187)
1: I can see the ceiling clearly.
2: I can see it so clearly!! My mind's still as clear as it's ever been!!
3: Is this what it feels like to die?
4: I am Orochi. I'm not supposed to die I need to stand up. I need to do something with my own strength...
5: I summoned up all my strength into my hands.
6: Soon, I could hear hurried footsteps running along the floor.
7: But by that time, my mind was already fading away...
188)
1: Then, I suddenly awakened.
2: Ahh!!
3: This is...!!
189)
1: That hole!!
2: This is the hole I ran across when my sleepiness suddenly came to me a decade earlier than it should have, and I hurried to find a proper spot...
3: How long have I been asleep for, then?
4: Was everything that happened just a dream? Me turning into a girl named Yoshiko and going to the Monzen mansion... In the dream, decades had passed, and Kazusa and Risa were both old women...
5: Ahh!!
6: My clothes are in tatters!!
190)
1: I knew it!!
2: Decades really have passed since I fell asleep!!
3: Which means that maybe it wasn't all just a dream...?!
191)
1: I need to go to the Monzen mansion!!
192)
1: I ran as fast as I could.
2: After waking up, I ran as fast as my legs would carry me!!
193)
1: On that same day, I reached the Monzen mansion.
2: It wasn't a dream!!
3: This is the same scenery that Yoshiko saw!!
4: But what about Kazusa, bedridden with her heart problem?!
5: What about Risa and how evil she had become?!
6: And what about Yoshiko, the girl I had become?!
SFX: wham
7: I fell down the stairs beyond here.
8: I knew it!!
194)
1: But what happened to the body?!
2: And Kazusa, with how sick she had gotten?!
3: Who's there?!
4: Ahh!!
5: Yoshiko!!
6: Where's the corpse?!
7: It's in Kazusa's room, isn't it?!
8-9: Ahhh!!
10: The room I slowly peered into was trapped in an unspeakably tense atmosphere.
195)
1: I knew it!!
2: The moment she went unconscious, my spirit was pushed out from the girl named Yoshiko!!
196)
1: Since I was so worried about the Monzen family, and since that girl resembled me so much, my spirit must have slipped inside her...
2: Kazusa looks worse than ever... But she still looks as divine as a god...
SFX: haa x2
3: Risa's here too...
4: We have to save her. We can't let such an amazing woman die like this!!
5: I could never call it lucky, but now that Yoshiko's dead...
197)
1: We can transplant her heart, and save my sister...
SFX: haa haa
2: We're checking her blood type right now.
3: I think they had the same blood type. But either way, I'm sure that my sister will refuse the transplant.
4: Doctor, we finished checking the blood types!!
5: Their blood types aren't the same!! Yoshiko is RH+!
6: What?!
7: We can't perform the surgery!!
8: What?!
198)
1: Did you hear that?!
2: You don't have the same blood type as her.
3: The surgery can't be done!!
SFX: UUUUUU
199)
1: But that can't be!!
2: Y-you're lying!!
3-4: That can't be!!
5: Please get a hold of yourself!!
200)
SFX: HAHAHAHAHA x2
SFX: HAHAHAHA
201)
1: Risa!!
SFX: HAHAHA
SFX: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SFX: HAHAHA
2: Now I can tell you everything!!
3: I've been waiting for this moment!! I'm not afraid anymore! I'm not afraid to tell you anything!!
202)
1: You're going to die!!
2: Do you know why?
3: Because Yoshiko's heart won't fit in your body!
203)
1: Ggh!!
2: Allow me to explain!
3: Yoshiko was never the same blood type as you!!
204)
1: Because...
2: the story about Yoshiko being a relative of the Monzen family
205)
1: was a lie!!
206)
SFX: UUUUUUU
1: Yoshiko tricked you!!
2: She knew from the very beginning that she wasn't a blood relative of ours!!
207)
1: She just lied because she wanted to become part of our family!!
2: So she tricked you!!
3: If you think I'm lying, then ask that corpse!!
4: That corpse!!
208)
SFX: UUUU x2
209)
1: I softly touched Yoshiko's corpse.
2: She's alive!!
3: Her mind is completely gone yet!!
4-5: Forgive me...
6: Mother, forgive me...
7: I lied. I tricked you. Forgive me...
8: I lied because I wanted to stay by your side..
9: I wanted to be your real daughter, so I lied about my blood type.
10: Forgive me... Forgive me...
210)
1: I didn't know that!! I was inside her body, and I still didn't know!!
2: And that isn't all!!
3: Even if you did get a heart transplant, you still wouldn't have survived!! I just asked the doctor to say something that would comfort you!!
4: You're lying!!
211)
1: Give me her heart!!
2: Give me Yoshiko's heart!!
3: Give it to me!!
SFX: hahahaha
SFX: hahahaha
212)
SFX: fwooosh
1: Ahhh!!
2: Stop!!
213)
1: Give me back my heart!!
SFX: stab x2
2: Hahaha!!
SFX: stab x5
SFX: Gyaaahhh
3: Stop! That's my heart!!
4: Mine!!
214)
SFX: HIIEEEEE
1: Stop it!!
2: She died!!
3: Even her mind is gone now!!
4: You're horrible!!
5: Ho ho ho! Everyone thinks I'm a monster!! But I feel fine now!!
6: Everyone, listen up! She's the real monster!!
7: She's the one who's the most responsible for Yoshiko's death!!
8: She's the one who put my ring into Yoshiko's handbag, the one who made a doll out of me and nailed it to the wall! She's the one who kept framing Yoshiko!!
9: You wanted Yoshiko to die more than anyone else!!
10: Let me go!!
11: See for yourselves!!
215)
SFX: rattle x2
1: Ahhh!!
216)
1: I was afraid there wasn't any proof anywhere... But I knew it all along!!
2: The reason your health got so bad is because you started walking around and doing all those things!!
3: Ever since you heard that a heart transplant could save you, that chillingly sound mind of yours went mad!!
SFX: HIIIEEEE
217)
1: And so, this bloodcurdling tale of hatred ended.
2: In the end, Kazusa died screeching and suffering.
218)
1: Kazusa... I didn't want you to die as a divine woman.
2: My goal was to make sure a divine woman like you would die a horrible death and be seen as something worse than even the foulest pig.
3: And you died just as I planned... Now no one will ever think of you as a wonderful person.
4: You have no idea what a twisted life I led, always being compared to you...
5: They'd tell me that you were smarter than me...
6: That you had better manners than me...
7: That you were a better student than me...
8: The torture of being compared to you just went on and on...
9: You were considerate to me, but it never felt like real comfort. It only ever felt like you were proving to me just how different we really are.
219)
1: Then, just when I thought I could finally leave this place, my hope was instantly snatched away from me. I got into a car crash and came home. And you were also the one who paid my indemnity.
2: Then, before I knew it, I was completely powerless against you...
3: The only reason I brought that orphan Yoshiko here was because she resembled you, so I thought I could use her as a tool to get my revenge.
4: Then I started giving her the torture that I could never do to you, in order to vent my feelings!
5: But even when I was beating her, you were always the only one I could think about.
6: And eventually, you also started hoping that Yoshiko would die from my beatings...
7: And I hoped for the same thing... Just so I could see the ugly side of you as quickly as possible!
8: To me, Yoshiko was never anything but a tool... And the same goes for you...
9: But Yoshiko died without ever realizing that...
220)
1: In the end, whose fault is it?
2: But I doubt another tragedy like that will ever happen again.
3: Someone passing by...
4: said they saw a girl walking away.
5: But you can't see
6: the Orochi who's guarding you from behind... or the Orochi who's already left you.
OROCHI - THE END
BLOOD
8)
1: My house was a big mansion.
2: No matter how far I walked, there were always more rooms.
9)
1: I'd always get scared along the way and start running back.
10)
1: My older sister and I were both born in that mansion.
11)
1: I always played with her. No matter how much we played together, I never got bored.
12)
1: She was a very nice sister.
13)
1: When would go outside sometimes,
14)
1: and when we did, she would always hold my hand.
2: People would look back and stare at us.
15)
1: Whenever we had picnics together inside the mansion,
2: or when I would drop a cake that I was eating for a snack,
16)
1: Ahhh!
SFX: splat
2: she'd always give me all of hers.
17)
1: I loved my sister.
18)
1: But I hated every day of my life.
20)
1: I hated studying so much.
SFX: smack
2: You made another mistake!
3: How many times will it take for you to learn?!
21)
1: HA HI FU HE HO YA I YU (*tl note: Japanese alphabet)
2: Your older sister could draw every hiragana character when she was your age!
22)
1: Now, it's time for your piano lesson.
23)
1-2: dong dong
24)
1: Play it right! When your sister was your age, she had already finished the entire Bayer course!
2: That wasn't all I hated.
25)
1: Did you forget your morning greeting?
2: Mother!!
3: Your sister always did hers properly. And her footsteps were never as loud as yours.
26)
1: Right down to the most minute action, I was always compared with my sister.
27)
1: You forgot to bow again!!
28)
1: Sometimes, I would hide and cry by myself.
29)
1: When that happened, I would draw pictures to ease the pain.
30)
1: But someone would always appear and take my picture away from me.
2: Ahhh!
3: What is this?!
4: I can't even understand what it is you were trying to draw!
34)
SFX: rip
38)
SFX: slam
1: I am Orochi. I decided to follow this girl and watch her...
39)
1: after I decided to sneak in and peep inside this old-fashioned mansion.
40)
SFX: slam
42)
1: What a large mansion this is!!
2: Where could they have taken that girl? It might be time for her to have more lessons in manners. I'll have to go find her.
43)
1: And so, people kept comparing everything about the two sisters.
2: Despite that, they still got along well at the time.
3: One day, they decided to plant flower seeds.
4: The older sister's name was Kazusa, and the younger sister's name was Risa.
44)
1: You can have either one. This one has a white flower seed, and this one has a red flower seed. They're both the same kind of flower, just different colors.
2: I want the red flowers.
45)
1: Then they buried the flower seeds in the ground.
46)
1: Even when Kazusa wasn't there, Risa would go and take good care of the flowers on her own.
2: Then, both of the flowers bloomed.
3: Waaah!!
47)
1: How beautiful!!
2: This white flower is Kazusa's flower, yes?
3: And then there's this red flower...
4: Hmph!!
48)
1: If they're both the same kind of flower, then why isn't yours beautiful too?!
2: Can't you even raise a flower as well as your sister, Risa?!
3: What are you crying for?!
49)
1: Now, back to your rooms.
2: They only planted those flowers for fun, and yet...
50)
1: Ahhh!!
51)
1: What did she come back for?
54)
1: Why... Why is her flower so beautiful?
2: My flower's the red one...
3: What's different about hers?
4: Ahhh!!
SFX: snap
55)
1: The flower!!
56)
1: Wh-what should I do?!
2-3: Risa!!
4: Where is she?!
5: There are a lot of people here now!!
57)
1: Hey! What are you doing in a place like this?
2: Ahh! That flower!!
58)
1: Risa!! Did you get jealous of how much more beautiful your sister's flower was?!
2: You did, so you ripped it off, didn't you?!
3: N-no! No!! It just came off on its own!!
4: Silence!!
5: I was just looking at it! I just wanted to see how it bloomed, mother! Really!!
59)
1: I said silence!!
SFX: slap
SFX: Uwaaahhh
60)
1: What a horrible child you are! I don't remember raising you to act so twisted!!
SFX: Uwaaaahhh
61)
1: Once Risa became sick, the true horror began.
62)
1: Are you OK?
2: I'll nurse you back to health.
3: I'll do anything you want me to do.
4: Kazusa!!
5: I'll be nursing her.
63)
1: No, I'll do it. I'm her older sister, after all.
2: What a kind young girl! It looks like she's grown into another gracious member of the Monzen family! But in return, her little sister only ever causes problems...
64)
1: What's wrong, Risa?
2: Ahhh!!
SFX: bwap
65)
1: Looks like Risa's finally gotten better.
2: She came out of her room. Where is she going?
66)
1: She's heading to the kitchen...!!
SFX: creak
67)
1: Why is she sticking her hand into the garbage can?
69)
1: Oh, Risa. It's snack time.
2: Please wash your hands and sit down at the table.
70)
SFX: creak
71)
1: All ready? That one's yours, and the other one is for your sister.
2: This special pudding looks delicious, doesn't it?
72)
1: I'm going to go call your sister in.
SFX: slam
73)
1: What is she doing? She put something into her sister's snack!!
74)
1: Her sister's here!!
SFX: creak
2: Thank you for waiting.
75)
1: This pudding looks so good!!
2: Thank you very much for preparing it.
3: Huh? It looks like there's a hole in it.
4: Oh really? That's strange...
76)
1: It's delicious!!
2: Gehhhh
77)
1: Wh-what's wrong?!
78)
SFX: Gehhhhh
1-2: Ahhhh!!
SFX: kyaaaaahhh
79)
1: Kazusa!!
80)
1: Kazusa!!
81)
1: Luckily, she didn't suffer any serious injuries.
82)
1: Risa!!
2: Come here!!
3: You need to apologize to your sister!!
83)
1: There as something rotten in the trash can, wasn't there?! Someone saw you stick your hand inside it!!
2: Wh-what were you thinking?!
3: Do you even realize what kind of a family you were born into?!
84)
1: Please forgive me, mother!!
2: Why did Risa do that...?!
3: Did she really get jealous of her sister?
85)
1: I can't believe what a horrible child you are!! You're nothing like your big sister!!
2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Kazusa!! I put something rotten in your pudding!!
3: That's OK. It doesn't bother me anymore.
4: But I wanted you to get sick!
86)
1: What?!
2: You wanted her to get sick?!
3: No! No!
4: I just wanted to nurse her!!
5: I wanted her to get sick so I could nurse her! That's why I wanted her to get sick...
87)
1: Terrible!! Why would you ever want your sister to get sick?!
2: No! No!!
SFX: waahh
3: Whenever you're in trouble, all you ever do is cry to try and distract people!!
SFX: waaahhh
88)
1: Risa!!
SFX: bwap
2: She really looks like she's under a lot of stress. Where is she going?
89)
SFX: creak
SFX: slam
91)
SFX: creak
92)
1: What could she be planning to do with that knife?
2: Maybe she's going to stab someone?! Because she's mad at her sister or her mother...
3: She's walking down one of the deserted back halls. I'm a bit worried, but I'll follow her to see what happens.
SFX: creak...
SFX: slam
93)
1: What is she doing, bending down toward the floor like that?
2: No matter how painful her life must be, a little girl like her would never think to kill herself...
SFX: drip
94)
1: It's red!!
2: My blood really is red!! It isn't black or green!!
3: It isn't the least bit different from my sister's! It's the same! It's the same kind of blood that I saw on the spot where she fell from the window!!
4: Then aren't I smart like she is?
5: Why are we different?
6: We have the same blood!!
7: She cut her finger with the knife... Her mother's going to yell at her again!!
95)
1: It wasn't until Risa started attending elementary school that she truly started to feel clearly inferior to her sister Kazusa.
2: Risa attended a famous school that everyone knew of.
3: When she started attending it, Kazusa was already in the third grade there.
4: Don't worry, Risa. They're all nice people. If you don't understand anything, just ask someone.
SFX: smack
5: Risa!!
6: Your big sister got 100 points on this problem!!
7: Risa, go look at your sister's calligraphy!! You saw the piece that's hanging in the entryway, right?!
8: That's Kazusa's little sister... Kazusa's so much sweeter and brighter than she is.
96)
sign: Report Card - Monzen Risa
1: What is this, Risa?!
2: You have five less 5s than your sister!!
SFX: smack
3: Don't you realize how hard we're all working here?!
4: The Monzen family isn't a normal family!! Don't you understand that the eyes of the public are always on us?!
5: Don't you care if people think of you as a stupid girl?!
6: You need to get your act together, or you'll embarrass everyone!! Don't you care about embarrassing your big sister or your mother?!
7: You aren't a child anymore! You can't keep acting like you always have!!
8: As Risa grew older, she started becoming more sensitive to how she was always compared to her sister.
97)
1: Then, Risa began to go out of her way
2: to avoid people altogether.
3: Risaaaa!!
4: Oh my!!
5: How rude. Why does she have to run away from us?
6: Even when she was at home...
SFX: vroooom
SFX: blam
7: She hardly ever spoke with anyone unless she had to.
8: Welcome home.
98)
1: She especially avoided crossing paths with her sister Kazusa.
2: She often shut herself up her in room, and gradually became more and more silent.
99)
1: Soon, Kazusa and Risa became teenagers.
2: The Monzon family started entertaining more and more guests,
3: and many parties were held.
4: During these parties, the conversation would always drift to how beautiful the two sisters had become,
5: and Risa would always glare at all the people
6: who gathered around her big sister.
7: Kazusa noticed this,
8: and tried to compliment her sister as best she could,
9: but that only hardened Risa's expression.
10: She would even go into her room and cry by herself after the parties ended.
100)
1: This only turned Risa into even more of a silent, gloomy, twisted woman...
101)
1: Soon Kazusa found a husband and took over the Monzen family.
2: Her younger sister Risa married as well and moved far away to live with his family. This was something that Risa had been deeply hoping for - a family who had very thin ties with the Monzen.
3: And so, she finally escaped the oppression of the Monzen family.
4: But that was only the beginning of even greater oppression...
5: Suddenly, Kazusa's husband got sick...
6: Wahhh!
7: And Kazusa was left all alone.
8: I couldn't possibly remarry!! And besides, who would want an old woman like me?!
9: But you have to, or else the Monzen bloodline will die out!!
102)
1: After checking in on Kazusa,
2: I went to go check on Risa in Kyushu
3: Risa's husband was the manager of a hotel.
4: He was a very flashy man,
5: and never stopped fighting with Risa.
SFX: slap
6: You're so boring! Just leave already, why don't you?!
7: Fine then, I will!!
103)
1: You think I actually want to be here?!
SFX: wham
SFX: klak x3
SFX: slam
SFX: vroom x3
SFX: vroooosh
104)
SFX: squeaaaal
1: Oh no! She's drunk!!
2: She's going to crash!!
SFX: squeal x2
SFX: screeech
3: I did my best to protect Risa's body.
105)
1: There was a car crash!!
SFX: screech
2: She's just unconscious!! It was such a horrible crash, yet somehow she didn't get a single scratch on her!!
3: The man who was riding shotgun died instantly!!
4: By that time, I had already left the scene.
5: Good. It looks like Risa survived.
6: Luckily, my injuries aren't that serious either. They should heal quickly with a little rest.
7: Protecting Risa ended up making me even more interested in following the lives of the two sisters.
106)
SFX: vrooom...
1: But that's when it happened...
2: I'm tired!!
3: Oh no! All of a sudden I'm getting really tired in a place like this!!
4: But why now?! This wasn't supposed to happen... for another decade!!
107)
1: I can't do this here!! I need to hurry up and find a proper spot!!
2: I've watched Kazusa and Risa for their entire lives so far... I don't want to have to stop now!!
3: Will they even be alive the next time I'm able to visit the Monzen family?
4: Will I even be able to wake up again?!
5: Aaahh, I'm so tired!!
6: I'm going to fall asleep!!
108)
1: I'm so tired!!
SFX: wham
2: Uuuu...!!
109)
1: I-I can't go to sleep here...
2: They'll think I collapsed and try to treat me.
3: I need to use my last remaining strength and run as far as I can!!
4: Until I reach a spot where no one will find me!!
5: But why am I getting sleepy now? It's only supposed to come once every hundred years... Why now?!
110)
1: It came a decade earlier than it should have. Why?
2: I know!! The shock that I received when I protected Risa from that car accident must have forced my sleepiness to come sooner!!
3: The last time I slept was around the year 1900.
4: Before that, I went to sleep toward the end of the 1800 decade. And before that...
5: The only reason I've been able to survive this long is because of the long slumber I engage in once every 100 years.
6: If I don't sleep, I'll age just like normal people and die!
7: I can't go on any further! My eyesight is blurring!!
111)
1: I ran as far as I could.
2: Ahhh!!
3: Waahhh!!
112)
1: I had no idea what happened to me, or where I fell.
SFX: thud
2: And then my mind faded away.
113)
1: How many years passed while I slept?
2: Whether or not a lot of time passed, I woke up from my slumber with a start.
3: It was strange awakening unlike anything I'd experienced before.
4: Huh...?
5: Where am I?
114)
1: That's when I started to realize something strange had happened...
2: I-I can't move!!
3: M-my fingers...
4: My eyes... my mouth...!!
5: I-I can't speak either!!
6: What happened to me?!
7: Ahhh!!
8: Aaaahhh!!
9: Aaahhh!!
10: My body's moving.
11: It's starting to fold up the futon!!
115)
1: My body's moving on its own!!
SFX: fsssh x2
2: It's washing my face!!
3: But what am I doing here?
4: I changed my clothes, and now I'm putting on makeup.
5: Ahhh!!
116)
1: This isn't me!!
2: My face never looked this sad!!
SFX: knock x2
3: How long are you going to sleep for? It's me! Open up!!
SFX: rattle
SFX: slap
4: What are you waiting for?! It's already time! What are you going to do if everyone else gets to all the good spots before us?!
5: What do you look so dissatisfied for?!
6: Hurry up and get ready, and then come downstairs! I'll be waiting at the entrance to the apartment with dad, OK?!
SFX: smack
7: Who was that? What happened to me while I was asleep?
8: I don't get it... Something must have happened right after I fell asleep.
117)
SFX: rattle
1: Yoshiko, how long do you intend to keep us waiting?!
2: C'mon! It's time to go! We aren't rich people who have all the time in the world!!
SFX: creak
3: Look! The neon lights in Shinjuku are already lit up!
4: Listen carefully, Yoshiko! Even if a customer makes fun of you like yesterday, you can't cry! It's pathetic!!
5: No one will come near us if you get all gloomy at every little thing that happens!
6: I hope you haven't forgotten how we went out of our way to save you from wandering around with those vagrants,
7: and gave you a place to live and cared for you as you grew up!
118)
1: We're paying a lot of money to rent that apartment for you, you know!! You need to work hard, or else there's going to be trouble!!
2: Enough whining already. Just make sure she works hard!!
3: You be quiet!! You can barely even call yourself a singer! You're so talentless that drinking alcohol to roughen up your voice and playing guitar is the only choice you have!!
4: Not to mention her! She couldn't sing to save her life!!
5: She's a tiny bit cute, though, so she manages to draw in a few customers! That's all!!
6: Now, it's time to begin! Ready, Yoshiko?!
SFX: rattle
7: Good evening. We're a traveling family of musicians.
119)
1: Oh, we don't need you today. We've got some customers who prefer things to be quiet.
2: I see. Please excuse me, then. I'll come back another day.
SFX: hahahaha
3: Hmph! Those stingy assholes!!
4: Yoshiko! When that sort of thing happens, you need to look friendlier and try to coax them into taking us!!
5: We'll try that bar next.
6: Good evening. We're a traveling family of musicians. Would you like to hear a song?
7: Sure!
8: Does that girl sing?
9: Yes, we play our guitars along with her singing.
10: Can you sing 'Shinjuku Crow?'
120)
1: Yes!!
2: No matter what I try, I can't do anything about this. It's like I've been stuffed into a robot. I'll just have to watch and see what happens.
3: OK then, Yoshiko, sing the song for them.
4: The Shinjuku crow lost its nest in the back streets with their swirling neon lights...
5: He doesn't know what tomorrow ill bring... He just wanders alone for today... deep at the bottom of the night...
SFX: screech
6: Hello?
7: Ahhh!
8: It's me, the woman who came to visit you earlier.
9: Today, I've come to take Yoshiko home!
121)
1: Yoshiko, how do you feel? I want to hear it from your mouth. Will you come with me or not?
2: B-but she's...!!
3: Yes, as promised, I brought the 3 million yen with me.
4: You don't need to hold back, Yoshiko. You and I share the same blood. We're family.
5: Auntie!!
6: That's it. Come to me.
7: Get in the car.
SFX: slam
SFX: vroom
122)
SFX: Vroom
1: What's going on here?
2: Who is this woman?
3: I have no idea where she's planning to take me.
4: I have no choice but to go with her, though, since my body keeps moving on its own...
123)
1: Yoshiko, I know you've been through hell, you poor thing!!
2: Will I really be able to live a happy life now?
3: Of course. Your great aunt has been waiting for you!
4: We have no other family. If only you knew how hard we've searched for you...
5: I'm glad you have a gentle soul, though. Everyone will be so pleased. Soon, you should see the mansion.
6: I didn't tell you this yet, but... It actually belongs to the Monzen family.
7: The Monzen family?!
124)
1: The Monzen family!!
2: The same family as Kazusa and Risa...
3: What a coincidence. I never thought I'd be reunited with them like this!!
4: But why can't I move my body as I please? I can't even control my own blinks.
5: And who's this older lady? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before...
6: Did I surprise you, Yoshiko?
7: It's the truth, though. We're heading to the mansion of the famous Monzen family.
125)
1: You're a distant relative who shares our blood.
2: And that's not all. From this day forward, you're going to live together with us!!
3: OK? Starting today, you're a daughter of the Monzen family!!
4: O-OK!!
126)
1: Now I remember this place. We really are going to the Monzen mansion.
2: But why did I turn into this orphan named Yoshiko? I don't remember a thing about her.
3: I fell asleep, then I have no idea what happened next.
4: The bandage is missing from my right hand!!
5: Just what happened to me?!
6: As confusion overtook me, the car continued to head straight toward the Monzen mansion.
7: Soon, it had entered the mansion's grounds.
8: That's it, Yoshiko...
127)
1: The Monzen mansion!!
SFX: screech
2: We got out of the car by the gate and went inside.
SFX: flap x3
128)
1: The massive mansion hadn't changed a bit.
SFX: creak
2: But for some reason, I felt like the overall atmosphere had changed.
3: What's different about it?! Don't know... It looks like it's somehow become dilapidated. Could that be why? No, that isn't it.. There's something else. SOmething i can't see, something that can't be put into words...
4: The older lady and I walked along the stone path.
SFX: klak x2
5: Yoshiko.
6: There's something I must tell you.
129)
1: As I've said many times before, from this day forward, you are a daughter of the Monzen family!!
2: In exchange for that, you will be in charge of your great aunt, my older sister... It will be your job to nurse her back to health.
3: She has a bad heart, which has made her bedridden.
4: Oh my...
5: A bad heart?!
6: Do you understand?
7: Yes.
8: I'll do my best to nurse her back to health.
9: Look. There's the entrance, Yoshiko.
130)
1: You don't need to be surprised. The maids are just there waiting to welcome you.
2: Welcome, Yoshiko. We've been waiting for you.
3: Now, no need to hold back. Please go inside.
4: This way...
5: Doesn't it amaze you? This is your new home.
6: You should change into some new clothes before you go to meet your great aunt. We've already prepared some for you.
131)
1: This is your room.
SFX: creak...
2: This all belongs to you now.
3: Here, put this on.
4: I can't believe I get to live in a mansion like this... Could I be dreaming?!
132)
1: And I can't believe people are being so nice to me...!!
2: Ho ho ho... It isn't a dream. From this day forward, you're going to live a happy life here.
3: You look so beautiful, I can hardly recognize you!! Look closely at yourself.
4: Now, let's go visit your great-aunt.
5: My great-aunt... Just what kind of person is she? Gradually, I became more and more interested in her.
6: What kind of a person is she?
133)
1: I said exactly what was on my mind.
2: She's a very gentle soul.
3: She's a flawless person...
4: Once you see her, you'll understand.
5: Here we are.
SFX: knock x2
6: Come in.
SFX: creak
SFX: creak...
134)
1: I feel like I've seen her somewhere before...
2: But no matter how hard I thought, I just couldn't remember where.
3: And where are Kazusa and Risa now?
4: This is Yoshiko...
135)
1: I-I'm Yoshiko...
2: You...?
3: Welcome. Be sure you make yourself at home here.
4: You poor thing... You must have been through so much.
5: May I take my leave now?
6: Yes. If I need you, I'll call for you.
7: OK...
8: Yoshiko... Please take care of my older sister for me.
9: O-OK!!
10: If you have any questions, please come and ask me at once.
136)
1: Now then, good night.
2: Good night.
SFX: creak
SFX: slam
3: Yoshiko, since this was all so sudden, it must have surprised you.
4: My younger sister and I have no more family left... So she became worried about me and went to search for you.
5: Ever since I lost my health, my sister has cared for me. She's the kindest sister anyone could have.
6: Wh-when did you get sick?
7: I've been bedridden for quite a while. That's why all my hair is white.
8: It's really gotten that bad?
137)
1: Yes. Whenever I move my body, I feel pain. That's why I have to stay in bed.
2: I was told that there is no cure...
3: Oh my!!
4: I shouldn't have asked that...!!
5: Gradually, my body's movements began to match up with my emotions.
6: Ho ho ho.
7: It's fine. You don't need to worry about it.
8: More importantly, did you feel disappointed that you came all the way here just to meet a sick person like me?
9: No, of course not. I'll do my best to nurse you!!
10: Thank you.
11: Umm... Could you please tell me your name, and your sister's name?
138)
1: Oh, that's right. I completely forgot. My name is...
2: Kazusa...
3: And my sister's name is...
4: Risa.
5: Kazusa!!
6: Risa!!
7: I knew it!!
8: I had a feeling this might be them...
9: That's why I felt like I had seen them somewhere before!!
10: The reason something seemed different about the mansion is because decades have passed since I last saw it...
11: A-and the person before me now is the older sister, Kazusa!!
139)
1: While I was asleep, decades passed here!!
2: Kazusa and Risa also aged...
3: What happened to them while I was asleep?!
4: And what happened to me...?
140)
1: Oh, Yoshiko, you can go to sleep now. I'll tell you more about our family tomorrow.
2: OK...
3: Good night, then.
4: Good night.
SFX: creak
5: I left Kazusa's room.
6: What happened to me?
7: Although I didn't realize it, my emotions were slowly mixing in with Yoshiko's.
8: Soon, the word "I" began to refer to not just myself, but Yoshiko as well.
SFX: creak
141)
SFX: chirp chirp...
1: Yoshiko, good morning.
2: Oh, good morning.
3: I figured you didn't know where the dining room is, so I came to get you.
4: There, I ate an extravagant breakfast unlike anything I'd ever seen before.
5: Everyone was very nice to me.
6: I'm as happy as could be. I don't know how to thank you...
7: In order to thank them, I did my best to take care of Kazusa.
8: Once every three days, a doctor would come to check up on her.
9: You look a bit better today.
142)
1: Thank you... I feel a bit better too.
2: Now, please take care... I'll leave your medicine here.
3: Please make sure she takes it once every two hours.
4: Yes! I promise!!
5: Whenever the doctor would check on Kazusa and see that she had become even the least bit better, he would happily encourage her and then leave.
6: But I knew that it was nothing more than talk.
7: After all...
8: I had learned to figure out what kind of a condition Kazusa was really in by checking on what sort of medicine she received.
9: And that wasn't all. I also knew that her condition was getting worse, even though it was happening so slowly that no signs were visible.
10: Poor Kazusa...
143)
1: I can't believe she's able to stay so dignified despite knowing everything...!!
2: She looks so noble!! She must have already prepared herself to die. That's why she's able to remain so noble...
3: I want to help my kind and noble great-aunt survive no matter what it takes!!
4: She fell asleep...
5: I know. Since she can't walk, I'll go pick some flowers for her to give her a taste of some fresh air.
6: I worked as hard as I could for Kazusa.
7: And whatever I couldn't do for Kazusa, Risa did.
8: Risa also did whatever Kazusa requested.
144)
1: Risa was such a nice woman...
2: Thank you, Risa. I'll have Yoshiko take care of the rest.
3: OK.
4: Everyone's so nice here. I never imagined there was a place on this earth filled with so many nice people!!
5: I'm so happy right now...
6: If this isn't happiness, then what is?!
145)
1: Yoshiko... Do you know what I always look forward to?
2: Waking up every morning and seeing you...
3: Great-aunt! I feel the same way...
4: Living here with you makes me happier than anything else could.
5: I hope we can keep living like this forever...
146)
1: I've never had a mother... But living here with you has come to made me feel like you're my real other!!
2: From now on... may I call you mother?
3: Yes!! I feel like you're my real daughter as well... Your face reminds me so much of my own face when I was young...
SFX: waaahhh
4: Mother!!
147)
1: That's when it started...
2: You can go now. It's gotten late.
3: You don't need to worry about me.
4: Good night then, mother. If you need something, please ring the bell.
SFX: click
5: I'm so happy. There couldn't be any greater happiness than this.
148)
1: Ahhh!!
2: Wh-who did this?!
SFX: hahahahahahaha
149)
SFX: hahahahahahahaha
SFX: hahaha hahaha
1: Auntie!!
SFX: hahahahaha
150)
1: It-it couldn't be...
2: That's right! I did it!!
151)
SFX: slap
1: Kyaaaah!
SFX: slam
2: Wh-what are you doing?!
3: Do you know how much I've had to bear up until now?!
4: You couldn't possibly understand!!
SFX: slap
5: Ahhh!!
6: Please, stop!! What is this, all of a sudden?! Have you gone mad?!
7: Hmph! I haven't gone mad at all!!
8: I never thought you were even the least bit cute from the very beginning!!
152)
1: You're nothing but a poor little orphan, and now you think it's OK to act like a real member of our family?!
2: What?!
3: I didn't know that I'd offended you!! If I did something wrong, please tell me, and I'll stop!!
4: Hmph! I don't care about that!!
5: Your face!! Your voice!! I hate it all so much that it makes me want to puke!! I can't take it anymore!!
6: Th-then wh-why did you bring me here?!
7: Wh-why?! In the beginning, you said my face and voice resembled that of a Monzen's... You seemed so happy!!
8: You're the one who brougtme here,
9: remember?!
10: Hahaha!!
11: If you don't want to stay here, then just go ahead and leave!!
153)
1: Just get out!!
2: No!!
3: What?!
4: Ahhh!!
5: Mother!!
6: It's locked!!
7: Mother!!
SFX: bang x2
8: Wahhh!!
9: Why?!
10-11: Take this!!
SFX: whap x2
154)
SFX: whap x2
1: Mother!!
2: Shut up!!
3: I hate it when you say that word!!
SFX: whap x2
4: Kyaaaahhh
5: No matter how much you cry, no one will hear your screams!!
6: That's why I chose to put you in this room!!
7: Take this!! And that!! And that!!
155)
SFX: whap x4
1: Haa, haa...!!
SFX: haa x4
SFX: stomp
2: Hmph! She lost consciousness!!
3: Maybe I beat her a little too hard.
4: Heh! No, of course not!! If you think this was enough to make me feel better, you're in for a big surprise!!
156)
1: You hear me?! If you think this is over now, you're in for a big surprise!! Just watch! I'm going to make you regret what you've done even more!!
2: But I'll leave it at here for today.
SFX: slam!
3: How long did I stay unconscious for?
4: Nnngh!!
5: Ahhh!!
6: She's gone!!
7: It's almost morning.
8: Wh-why did she do all those horrible things?!
157)
1: I don't understand. The only thing I can think of is that she's gone insane.
2: Why does she hate me so much? My voice and my face? Why?! In the beginning, she seemed so happy to find me...
3: And why am I not allowed to call my great-aunt mother?
4: She was the one who wanted us to get along, and who brought me here to care for her...
5: What could I have done to make her hate me?! Why would she do all these horrible things?!
6: I'm not going to leave!! I made a promise with my mother...
7: No matter what my aunt says, I'm not going anywhere!!
8: Something must be wrong with her. If I put some time between us and then go to see her again, I'm sure she'll be back to normal.
9: No matter how I think about it, it's all just too crazy to be true...
158)
1: I must have done something wrong that I didn't even notice.
2: My life so far was just too harsh...
3: I must have done something uncalled for, or somehow let the miserable side of me get out. That must be it!!
4: From now on, I'll need to be more careful and work my hardest to make sure the both of them, and everyone else likes me!!
5: I finally found a happy life for myself. I don't want to let it get away from me!!
6: I don't want to leave this mansion!!
7: Mother!!
8: I finally found such a kind, wonderful mother!!
9: I'm not leaving this mansion!!
159)
SFX: ring ring ring
1: That's the bell. Mother's calling for me.
2: What could be wrong? Did she suddenly get upset too?!
3: If I go and see her like this, she might worry.
4: But what should I do? My aunt ripped up all my clothes!!
5: I need to hurry...
6: Her health must have suddenly taken a turn for the worse!!
7: Mother!!
8: I became so worried about Kazusa
9: and wanted to go and see her so badly, that I accidentally broke the no running in the hall rule.
160)
1: I can't tell her about what happened with my aunt.
SFX: creak
2: Mother!!
3: The moment I saw her face, for some reason, tears started pouring out from my eyes.
4: Yoshiko, what's wrong?!
5: I woke up and suddenly felt like I wanted to see you. I thought you might still be sleeping,
6: but I ended up pushing the button anyway.
7: Mother!!
161)
SFX: waaahhh
1: What's wrong? Did something happen?!
2: Go on, tell me.
3: We promised not to hide anything from each other, didn't we?!
4: Uuuuu!!
5: Crying won't tell me anything.
6: Is it really OK for me to tell you anything? You won't start to hate me?
7: Of course not. There isn't another person as kind and wonderful as you in the world.
8: Now, tell me what happened.
9: OK...
10: Last night, when I returned to my room, I saw that it was a mess... And then... My aunt was standing inside...
11: Then she said she hated me... And slapped me!
12: Oh my...!!
162)
1: I must have done something wrong. But I can't think of what it was...
2: I see. So that's why you look so terrible...
3: I promised myself I wouldn't tell her, but as soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but to seek comfort from her, and so I told her everything.
4: I see...
5: I think I know what the reason is, though.
6: What? What is it?!
7: Ever since my little sister was young, she's had a very violent temperament...
8: She always felt confined by the strict rules of the Monzen family.
9: That's why she decided to marry a wealthy man who had very thin ties with us. But in the end, her personality didn't match with him either, so she came back home.
10: On her way home, she was in a car accident, and her husband died. By the time she returned to this mansion, she was already carrying a burden that was too heavy for her to bear.
163)
1: And so, my younger sister started living with us again.
2: Soon my heart problem was discovered, and I became bedridden. All the responsibility of caring for me fell on her.
3: That's why... it's no one's fault.
4: We share the same blood, but my sister was born a free spirit, so from time to time, she becomes unable to handle this confinement, and becomes hysteric.
5: But she's really a kind person. Even after she contacted our relatives and found out where you were...
6: She knew that bringing you here would cheer everyone up.
7: But that all has nothing to do with you. I'll talk to my sister to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
8: B-but...
SFX: knock x2
164)
1: It's Aunt Risa!! She came to say her morning greeting.
2: Go over there and hide behind that pillar.
SFX: creak
3: Good morning. How are you feeling?
4: Risa... I need to speak with you...
5: Then, Risa started speaking in a soft voice.
6: As Kazusa scolded her, Risa started to look very frightened, as if she was a completely different person.
7: She kept nodding the entire time and listened to everything that Kazusa told her.
8: I can't believe she's the same person who did all that last night...!!
9: Finally, Kazusa finished speaking.
165)
1: Yoshiko, it's all right now.
2: She apologized many times and admitted that it was her fault.
3: It seems like she just got worked up. She was planning to apologize to you. She also said she'd fix your room back up...
4: I spent the rest of that day by Kazusa's side.
5: I don't feel like eating, so I'll go and tell them.
6: What?!
7: But it won't be good for your body if you don't eat.
8: But I don't want to.
9: I-I see... So be it. But you need to make sure you eat tomorrow.
10: OK. Thank you.
SFX: creak
166)
1: Ahh!!
SFX: slam
2: Ahh! Auntie!!
SFX: Uuuu
3: I've been waiting for you to come out.
4: You're coming with me!!
5: Wh-what are you doing?!
SFX: slam
SFX: shove
SFX: smack
6: How dare you?! You little rat!!
167)
1: You told her, didn't you?!
2: Where did you think you were going?!
3: I-I don't feel like eating, so I was going to the dining room to tell them...
4: Hmph! You were planning to go on and tell everyone that you lost your appetite because of what I did to you, huh?!
5: N-no!!
6: Ho ho ho! I figured that'd be the case!! You think I'm just going to let you do that?!
7: Now, it's time to eat!!
8: Ahh!!
9: That's your meal right over there! Make sure you eat it all up!!
10: Ahhh!!
11: C'mon! C'mon!!
12: Aaaahhh!!
13: Aahhhh!!
168)
1: And so, not only did Risa never start being nice to me, she continued to bully me when I wasn't with Kazusa.
2: As I told Kazusa about all the torture I suffered, her health gradually got worse and worse.
3: Blood...!!
4: She bullied you again?
5: Then, one day, the doctor said something.
6: The truth is...
7: If we found someone who the same blood type and constitution as you,
8: we could perform a heart transplant and save you.
9: What?!
169)
1: A heart transplant?!
2: Yes... Now we know that there's a possibility that you could survive through the surgery.
3: If we can find someone with the same blood type..
4: The reason I didn't tell you this earlier was because I didn't have any solid evidence.
5: But please rejoice. Now we've found a chance for you to survive!
6: No...
7: I don't want a heart transplant.
8: I'm fine the way I am...
170)
1: I don't want to force myself to survive.
2: I want to leave my survival up to God.
3: What nobility... She's accepting her fate just as it is... just like God...
4: I'll do anything for her!!
5: I'd even give up my heart for her!!
6: I intend to quietly obey my fate.
7: I see. I thought you'd say that.
8: However, just for the record, the surgery isn't possible unless the donor's blood type and leukocyte antigens match yours.
9: The heart also needs to be fresh and healthy...
10: We'd never be able to find someone like that.
11: You're right. There's no way we'd find such a perfect donor...
171)
1: Your blood type is also RH-, a very special type, so it'd have to be another person like that...
2: RH-...!!
3: But I thought that talking to you about this might be able to give you some hope and energy...
4: I'm RH- too!!
5: What?!
6: I have Mongen blood in me, remember?!
7: Waahhhh
8: What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?!
9: Mother!!
10: I want to give you my heart!!
172)
1: But I can't, and it hurts!!
2: Please! Please save my mother!!
3: If I die, and my heart can help her, please use it to save her!!
4: Please!!
SFX: Wahhh
5: Enough about that already!!
6: Now, now, stop crying.
7: I'll take my leave now.
173)
1: From that day forward, Risa started torturing me even more.
SFX: Hoot x2
2: Yoshiko, are you in there?!
SFX: bang x2
3: Yoshiko!!
4: Risa is looking for you, and she'll be here soon!!
5: What? Why?!
6: Her favorite diamond ring went missing, so she's gone into a panic.
7: But then why is she looking for me?
8: Sshhh!!
9: Here she comes. If she finds me, there's no telling what she'll do, so I need to go...
174)
1: Auntie!!
2: Are you the one who stole my diamond ring?!
3: No... I-I don't know anything about it!!
4: Hmph! But you're the only one who would do something like that!!
5: I'm going to find it!!
6: Ahh!!
SFX: rustle x2
7: Please!!
8: Please stop! I'll do it!!
SFX: snap
9: Aahhh!!
175)
1: There's a diamond ring in my handbag! How did it get in there?!
2: I can't find it!!
3: You must have hid it!!
4: N-no...!!
5: That's the handbag you always carry around!!
6: Show it to me!!
7: I said show it to me!!
8: Aaahhh!
176)
1: Aahhh!!
2: I knew it!!
3: I-I don't know how it got in there!!
4: Heheheh. Time to make you regret what you've done, you little cat burglar!!
5: Kyaaahh!!
SFX: wham
SFX: scratch
6: Ahhh!!
SFX: AAAHHH
177)
1: You never learn, do you? Well you've really done it this time!!
SFX: wham
SFX: Aaahhh
SFX: scratch
SFX: Gyaaaahhhh
SFX: scratch
SFX: Gyahhh
2: Haa, haa...!!
3: You did something absolutely horrible, so you should be thankful that you got off that easily!!
SFX: Uuuu
SFX: Uuuuuuu
4: Yoshiko!!
178)
1: Goodness gracious!!
2: Risa really is a monster!!
3: I haven't said anything so far, but she really is a monster!! Everyone else says the same about her!!
4: We've card for Kazusa and Risa since they were very small.
5: But that woman is a monster!!
6: Kazusa is so kind and upstanding, but her younger sister Risa has always been an inhuman monster, ever since she was little!!
7: Everyone acts nice to her in person, but they're all afraid of her!!
8: But none of us can understand why she hates you so much.
9: And if she saw one of us caring for you like this, there's no telling what she'd do to us!!
10: So I must go.
11: If I stayed any longer, she'd only punish you worse than me anyway.
179)
1: I'll leave bandages and medicine for you here.
2: She must have put her ring in there when I wasn't looking. Then she made me find it...
3: Soon or later she's going to kill me!!
4: But I'm not leaving this mansion!!
5: No matter what happens!!
6: Risa's horrible torture continued...
7: Once, she even put poison in her own food, which just happened to be food that I had prepared for her.
8: When she beat me then, I felt like I was really going to die.
9: Kyaaaahh
180)
1: Kazusa worried about me more than anyone.
2: In fact, she became so worried that her health got shockingly worse than it had ever been.
3: She only has a little bit of time left!!
4: That's when I realized that no matter what happened, I couldn't let her notice even a sliver of my pain.
5: But Risa continued to torture me. And she was always watching me, so I could never leave the mansion.
6: Once, the carpet caught fire near Risa's room,
7: and without even trying to put it out, she grabbed me and tried to throw me into it.
8: She had been the one who set the fire.
SFX: Gwooosh
9: The horrors continued.
182)
1: Ahh!!
2: Yoshiko, you made a doll of me?!
3: You did that because you hate me, didn't you?!
4: No!!
5: Don't try to make excuses!!
6: Look at this! It's made from your clothes!! That's proof!!
SFX: yank
7: You want to do to me what you did to this doll, don't you?!
8: No!!
183)
1: Kyaaaahhh
2: Kyaaahhh!!
3: Heeeelp!!
4: Mother!!
SFX: wham
5: Ahhhh!
184)
SFX: haa x2
1: Mother!!
2: S-someone, please come and help!!
3: Mother!!
4: Maids, where are you?!
185)
1: I need to call the doctor!!
SFX: dash x3
2: Ahhh
SFX: slip
SFX: fwooosh
SFX: thud
SFX: crack
186)
1: I'm going to die!!
2: My body is about to die!! I broke something!!
187)
1: I can see the ceiling clearly.
2: I can see it so clearly!! My mind's still as clear as it's ever been!!
3: Is this what it feels like to die?
4: I am Orochi. I'm not supposed to die I need to stand up. I need to do something with my own strength...
5: I summoned up all my strength into my hands.
6: Soon, I could hear hurried footsteps running along the floor.
7: But by that time, my mind was already fading away...
188)
1: Then, I suddenly awakened.
2: Ahh!!
3: This is...!!
189)
1: That hole!!
2: This is the hole I ran across when my sleepiness suddenly came to me a decade earlier than it should have, and I hurried to find a proper spot...
3: How long have I been asleep for, then?
4: Was everything that happened just a dream? Me turning into a girl named Yoshiko and going to the Monzen mansion... In the dream, decades had passed, and Kazusa and Risa were both old women...
5: Ahh!!
6: My clothes are in tatters!!
190)
1: I knew it!!
2: Decades really have passed since I fell asleep!!
3: Which means that maybe it wasn't all just a dream...?!
191)
1: I need to go to the Monzen mansion!!
192)
1: I ran as fast as I could.
2: After waking up, I ran as fast as my legs would carry me!!
193)
1: On that same day, I reached the Monzen mansion.
2: It wasn't a dream!!
3: This is the same scenery that Yoshiko saw!!
4: But what about Kazusa, bedridden with her heart problem?!
5: What about Risa and how evil she had become?!
6: And what about Yoshiko, the girl I had become?!
SFX: wham
7: I fell down the stairs beyond here.
8: I knew it!!
194)
1: But what happened to the body?!
2: And Kazusa, with how sick she had gotten?!
3: Who's there?!
4: Ahh!!
5: Yoshiko!!
6: Where's the corpse?!
7: It's in Kazusa's room, isn't it?!
8-9: Ahhh!!
10: The room I slowly peered into was trapped in an unspeakably tense atmosphere.
195)
1: I knew it!!
2: The moment she went unconscious, my spirit was pushed out from the girl named Yoshiko!!
196)
1: Since I was so worried about the Monzen family, and since that girl resembled me so much, my spirit must have slipped inside her...
2: Kazusa looks worse than ever... But she still looks as divine as a god...
SFX: haa x2
3: Risa's here too...
4: We have to save her. We can't let such an amazing woman die like this!!
5: I could never call it lucky, but now that Yoshiko's dead...
197)
1: We can transplant her heart, and save my sister...
SFX: haa haa
2: We're checking her blood type right now.
3: I think they had the same blood type. But either way, I'm sure that my sister will refuse the transplant.
4: Doctor, we finished checking the blood types!!
5: Their blood types aren't the same!! Yoshiko is RH+!
6: What?!
7: We can't perform the surgery!!
8: What?!
198)
1: Did you hear that?!
2: You don't have the same blood type as her.
3: The surgery can't be done!!
SFX: UUUUUU
199)
1: But that can't be!!
2: Y-you're lying!!
3-4: That can't be!!
5: Please get a hold of yourself!!
200)
SFX: HAHAHAHAHA x2
SFX: HAHAHAHA
201)
1: Risa!!
SFX: HAHAHA
SFX: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SFX: HAHAHA
2: Now I can tell you everything!!
3: I've been waiting for this moment!! I'm not afraid anymore! I'm not afraid to tell you anything!!
202)
1: You're going to die!!
2: Do you know why?
3: Because Yoshiko's heart won't fit in your body!
203)
1: Ggh!!
2: Allow me to explain!
3: Yoshiko was never the same blood type as you!!
204)
1: Because...
2: the story about Yoshiko being a relative of the Monzen family
205)
1: was a lie!!
206)
SFX: UUUUUUU
1: Yoshiko tricked you!!
2: She knew from the very beginning that she wasn't a blood relative of ours!!
207)
1: She just lied because she wanted to become part of our family!!
2: So she tricked you!!
3: If you think I'm lying, then ask that corpse!!
4: That corpse!!
208)
SFX: UUUU x2
209)
1: I softly touched Yoshiko's corpse.
2: She's alive!!
3: Her mind is completely gone yet!!
4-5: Forgive me...
6: Mother, forgive me...
7: I lied. I tricked you. Forgive me...
8: I lied because I wanted to stay by your side..
9: I wanted to be your real daughter, so I lied about my blood type.
10: Forgive me... Forgive me...
210)
1: I didn't know that!! I was inside her body, and I still didn't know!!
2: And that isn't all!!
3: Even if you did get a heart transplant, you still wouldn't have survived!! I just asked the doctor to say something that would comfort you!!
4: You're lying!!
211)
1: Give me her heart!!
2: Give me Yoshiko's heart!!
3: Give it to me!!
SFX: hahahaha
SFX: hahahaha
212)
SFX: fwooosh
1: Ahhh!!
2: Stop!!
213)
1: Give me back my heart!!
SFX: stab x2
2: Hahaha!!
SFX: stab x5
SFX: Gyaaahhh
3: Stop! That's my heart!!
4: Mine!!
214)
SFX: HIIEEEEE
1: Stop it!!
2: She died!!
3: Even her mind is gone now!!
4: You're horrible!!
5: Ho ho ho! Everyone thinks I'm a monster!! But I feel fine now!!
6: Everyone, listen up! She's the real monster!!
7: She's the one who's the most responsible for Yoshiko's death!!
8: She's the one who put my ring into Yoshiko's handbag, the one who made a doll out of me and nailed it to the wall! She's the one who kept framing Yoshiko!!
9: You wanted Yoshiko to die more than anyone else!!
10: Let me go!!
11: See for yourselves!!
215)
SFX: rattle x2
1: Ahhh!!
216)
1: I was afraid there wasn't any proof anywhere... But I knew it all along!!
2: The reason your health got so bad is because you started walking around and doing all those things!!
3: Ever since you heard that a heart transplant could save you, that chillingly sound mind of yours went mad!!
SFX: HIIIEEEE
217)
1: And so, this bloodcurdling tale of hatred ended.
2: In the end, Kazusa died screeching and suffering.
218)
1: Kazusa... I didn't want you to die as a divine woman.
2: My goal was to make sure a divine woman like you would die a horrible death and be seen as something worse than even the foulest pig.
3: And you died just as I planned... Now no one will ever think of you as a wonderful person.
4: You have no idea what a twisted life I led, always being compared to you...
5: They'd tell me that you were smarter than me...
6: That you had better manners than me...
7: That you were a better student than me...
8: The torture of being compared to you just went on and on...
9: You were considerate to me, but it never felt like real comfort. It only ever felt like you were proving to me just how different we really are.
219)
1: Then, just when I thought I could finally leave this place, my hope was instantly snatched away from me. I got into a car crash and came home. And you were also the one who paid my indemnity.
2: Then, before I knew it, I was completely powerless against you...
3: The only reason I brought that orphan Yoshiko here was because she resembled you, so I thought I could use her as a tool to get my revenge.
4: Then I started giving her the torture that I could never do to you, in order to vent my feelings!
5: But even when I was beating her, you were always the only one I could think about.
6: And eventually, you also started hoping that Yoshiko would die from my beatings...
7: And I hoped for the same thing... Just so I could see the ugly side of you as quickly as possible!
8: To me, Yoshiko was never anything but a tool... And the same goes for you...
9: But Yoshiko died without ever realizing that...
220)
1: In the end, whose fault is it?
2: But I doubt another tragedy like that will ever happen again.
3: Someone passing by...
4: said they saw a girl walking away.
5: But you can't see
6: the Orochi who's guarding you from behind... or the Orochi who's already left you.
OROCHI - THE END
