Nakime-san, you put it into operation... pg 36 Nakime: Chosen children of the magatama... This happened one other time, millenia ago... In Takamagahara it was known as the "Ending Ledgend". ...and in Nakatsukuni, the fairy tale that remained... Together... pg 37 Nakime: I thought of this entire plan...! Yuuki: % Wha.. pg 38 Nakime: From ancient times..the final and greatest roles. When I unsealed the magatama...the magatama chose you. Nakime: % Everything is according to plan... Souta: Wait a moment!! If our roles are to open the Ama of Iwato and to protect Yuuki until she reaches the Tenjuukyuu, then Yuuki... pg 39 Souta: Exactly who is Yuuki... Yuuki: Before, Binga was saying it. My magatama is different from Souta and the others'. I thought that might be the reason that I'm the only one who stays ten years old in Takamagahara...! pg 40 Yuuki: "Ledgendary Girl"... "Horu Akutei"...what does that mean? I... Nakime-san, what am I supposed to do...?! pg 41 Nakime: ...come to the Tenjuukyuu. Don't waste a moment. Then, you'll understand... You are the existence that is saving this world. Without you... Both worlds would stop existing. In the future, I do not know what danger you shall face... But it will be very difficult for Yuuki to enter the Tenjuukyuu alone, yes? Everyone's power is the vital link... Yuuki: % Danger... % Everyone heard that just now... pg 42 Yuuki: Sorry!! Everyone: ?! Yuuki: I'm sure that from now on, I'm going to cause everyone lots of trouble...!! But, if I really try my best... The blue sky will come back, right? We have to get it back, so we can all live on together, right? Right?! pg 43 Yuuki: No matter what, I want to go to the Tenjuukyuu more than anything...!! pg 44 Souta: ...we never thought of you as an annoyance. I've never been this excited about anything...! Nachi: Yeah! We can do this! Keima: Sorry about this black sky. Taizou: (It's fun to go to sleep now!) Together we can get the sun back!! Nachi: (So that's why you've been waking up early lately?) Taizou: (Heheh..) Nakime: Take care of the Ledgendary Girl...swear...that you- Yuuki: (Ah...) pg 45 Souta: (She disappeared..) I wonder, if she's... If she's having a hard time too. Taizou: ...yeah. Yuuki: But it'll be okay! Yuuki: % I want to protect Takamagahara and Nakatsukuni % This feeling... % Everyone feels the same... Sign: after school Sign: Library pg 46 Yuuki: (Ah!) Yuuki: Keima, there you are! (I've been looking for you!) Keima: Hey! Everyone, over here!! Yuuki: What's wrong? Keima: Here...they have these books on ledgends... Keima: Maybe...the situation we're in now...it and the ledgend almost overlap each other. Don't you understand? Yuuki: What? Keima: We could figure out exactly what we're fighting against. Yuuki: % Huh..?! Keima: Amaterasu-sama in the Iwayato...that's the cause of the world's darkness. pg 47 Nachi/Taizou: "Cause"...who's the cause? Tsukuyomi?! Taizou: (I'll beat him up!!) Nagato: Takehayanosusanonunomikoto...right? Keima: Sensei! Nagato: You're even researching really hard parts! You suprised sensei! (How great!!) pg 48 Yuuki: % Takehaya... % Um, what'd she say? Yuuki: Sensei, that person... Nagato: Amaterasu's younger brother, Susanonu. Souta: Susanonu was thrown into a violent rage, and started causing riots all over Takamagahara- where Amaterasu ruled. Because of that, a great sorrow came over Amaterasu, and she shut herself into the Iwayato. Nagato: Exactly!! (Inaba-kun, wonderful!!) Souta: Heh. Nachi: But you mentioned "Susanonu"... Then what about his famous conquering of the Orochi? pg 49 Nagato: Oh, that was after the Ama of Iwato was opened. That comes after Susanonu's banishment. Nagato: Susanonu was banished from Takamagahara, and he found himself in a country called Izumo. He met an old married couple that had angered the Orochi, and they were forced to give up one of their daughters to him every year. But finally, they only had one daughter left... pg 50 Nagato: Then Susanonu came and defeated the Orochi of Yamata. So thus, he had saved the kidnapped princess... Yuuki: % Princess... Nagato: ...and that's the story!! Japan really has such romantic ledgends, doesn't it?! pg 51 Nagato: SENSEI LOVES THOSE KIND!! HURRY AND COME TO ME, MY PRINCE----! (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!) Yuuki: % That's the first time I've heard that story, so then... % It was a romantic story, so then... pg 52 Yuuki: % Why...does my heart ache so much... pg 53 Nachi: Hmmmm--------hmm... pg 54 Taizou: Why are you two up so early? Souta: (Ah!) Morning! Nachi: (Good mo------rning, Takaomi!) Souta: But we left the cave, right? We have to keep after Kaya-san though... Takaomi: There's nothing we can do but look for another entrance from the outside. Souta: Then, this area's terrain is really complicated, it might be difficult to get around~ Nachi: (KYAHAHAHAHA!) Yuuki: We won't give up though!! Nachi: (UWAH! You suprised me!) Yuuki: (Morning!) pg 55 Yuuki: Let's go!! Enough thinking about it, let's get going! Right?! pg 56 Souta: ...I'm glad Yuuki's so entergetic. Taizou: ...yeah. Souta: If Nakime-san had been telling me things like that... If it had been me, I know I would have just gotten mad... Souta: % Yeah. % It'll all work out. % Because it's Yuuki, no matter what happens... Takaomi: (You're going to fall down.) Yuuki: (Heh, thanks anyway...) Nachi: (HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!) Yuuki: Huh? pg 57 Yuuki: Takaomi!! Over there, I can't see a thing! Yuuki: % It's a milky color... Takaomi: It's all white...!! Nachi: It's... pg 58 Nachi: IT'S A HOT SPRING!! Souta: ..here? Yuuki: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! (A bath!!) Nachi: It's like the "Beautiful Three Office Ladies' Hot Spring Trip Murder Criminal Case" from "Tuesday Suspense"!! (ed: According to Sugahara-sensei, "Tuesday Suspense" is a Japanese detective TV show.) Souta: (Wait!) Who's a beautiful office lady? pg 59 Lady: (Here, use these.) The boy's section is over there. Label: Towel Taizou: ...hey... Hey, Obachan! Do you run this place? Lady: Yup... Taizou: Hey! Hey! Is it profitable? Profitable? How much do you make?! Lady: Profitable...because it's thanks to this place that the people in the main occupation around here can get calmed down... Taizou: Main occupation? Lady: In this region, everyone are miners. (Meimi: >.<;; I don't get this part at all.) pg 60 Souta: Everyone are miners...? But, shouldn't there be places where they can't do that..? Lady: Ah.... It's Tsukuyomi-sama's orders. (Can't be helped.) Nachi: As I thought!! It was Tsukuyomi, the incarnation of greed itself- jerk...!! Boys: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------------!! pg 61 Taizou: W-w-what are you doing here.... (Don't come over! Don't come over!!) Nachi: Hm? Is it weird after all? I was thinking for a while, and I thought that since I'm a guy in Nakatsukuni, shouldn't I be in here? (And since Takaomi is here as well~) Boys: WRONG THOUGHT!! YOU THOUGHT WRONG!! Nachi: ...okay. So, I should... ...go with Yuuki after all, I guess? Excuse m- pg 62 Takaomi: DON'T MOVE A STEP AWAY FROM THAT SPOT, GET IT?!! (STAY QUIET!!) Yuuki: ? There's a lot of activity over there... pg 63 Yuuki: Yay! We found the village!! Lady: $ A map of this region? $ There's a village not far from here, you'll definitely be $ able to get one there. Yuuki: It's just like the lady said! ?: This is... pg 64 Souta: It's just caves... Trees....vegetation of any kind...nothing's left!! Souta: Oh! Sorr- Men: Catch her! That thief!! pg 65 Man: She ran this way! That kid again! Man: Ran! Today, we won't forgive you!! Yuuki: % Theif...?!
