02x20 - Divergent Light

[bunniefuu]

The Lady Yui, now in possession
of the Byakko Shinzaho…

…proceeds with the
ceremony to summon Seiryu.

His body stolen by Miboshi…

…Chiriko sacrifices
his life to k*ll him.

The Lady Miaka tries to stop
the summoning of Seiryu, but…

Yui! Don’t!
Don’t summon Seiryu!

…the ceremony has been performed!

Alight from heaven
and appear before us!

Look there!

I couldn’t stop her…

I couldn’t stop her!

Miaka…!

He comes.

I am Seiryu Seikun.

Are you the priestess
who has called me here?

Y-Yes…

I now couple with you
and we become as one.

In exchange, you shall be
given use of my holy power…

…to use as you wish
for three times only.

When you wish to,
say the word “kaijin.”

Do you understand?

Kai…jin…?

Have they coupled?

What’s that light?!
It’s spreading out!

Yui…

YUI!!!

She’s vanished!

Yui… Not a word…

I never got to say
even one word to you…!

Uh-oh!
That shockwave just now…!

Everyone, hurry! We have
to get out of here, you know?!

Now that this has happened,
we’ve got to get back to Konan fast!

Master…

We’ll be fine! I guess we
still have a long while to live.

Come back again after
everything’s settled down.

You’re someone
I care about… son.

Father…

Don’t lose hope, Miaka.

Subaru…

We’d better go home, too.

If we don’t get back to our
original ages, we’re finished.

Miaka.

Tamahome…

It’s all right.
We’ve returned to Konan.

Wh-Where are the others?

Fine. They’re resting.

I think His Highness will
be coming to see you soon.

Tamahome, what’ll I do?
What should I do now?!

Miaka…!

It’ll be all right.
I know it’ll be all right.

Tamahome…

Lady Yui…
Are you awake now?

I…

That’s right.
I summoned Seiryu…

Shall we begin, Lady Yui?
Make your first wish.

Yes. The time has finally come.

Kaijin!

Let Suzaku be sealed
away forevermore!

Tamahome?

My strength just suddenly…!

Hey, Tamahome!
Can you use your power?!

Tasuki!

What’s got you in such a panic?

Never mind!
Just try using it!

Nothing…

Tamahome, the ogre mark on
your forehead isn’t appearing!

She’s right, you know?

We’ve all tried to use our
powers, but we can’t anymore.

My character
won’t appear, either.

Then, when I felt my strength
leave my body just before…

We are no longer Celestial Warriors.
We’ve become ordinary people.

Or, rather,
Suzaku itself has vanished.

I believe that Suzaku…
has been sealed from us.

Hotohori…

Lady Yui, are you all right?

What? I feel light-headed…

My whole body just suddenly
lost its strength…

Seiryu now exists
inside of you.

Using the god beast’s power causes
a powerful reaction on your body.

We’d better wait for your strength to
return before using the next wish.

We mustn’t endanger
your life for this.

I’m fine.
We have two more wishes…

…and the Kutou emperor’s wish
has already been granted.

I can use the last
two any way I want.

I can finally do something
about Miaka and Tamahome now.

Oh, yeah, I made you
a promise, didn’t I?

That I’d grant you
any wish you wanted.

What? Tell me what it is.

My wish?

What I want is to be a god with
eternal life and ultimate power.

I see… Nuriko was…

We of Konan have no choice
now but to fight Kutou.

From the beginning, we were
dependent of Suzaku’s power.

We thought having
the priestess was enough…

…and didn’t stand to face
them with our own strength.

Even if victory is impossible,
we will never give up.

Because we have something
important to defend…

Every last person
in Konan must rise.

You were the ones
who taught me that.

Thank you.

Hotohori.

We’re bein’ haunted
by Nuriko’s ghost!

Chichiri, chant a sutra!

Get him to go back
and rest in peace!

NURIKO!!! YOU’RE ALIVE!!!

Breasts…?!

Miaka, that isn’t Nuriko.
It’s my empress.

Empress…?

My name is Houki.

Uh, um, hi there.
I’m Miaka Yuki.

I was surprised myself
when I first met Houki.

Her resemblance to
Nuriko is striking.

When I think back,
just before Nuriko’s death…

…I sensed his life force.

As though Nuriko was
trying to introduce us.

Nuriko did it…

And now it’s your turn.

You and Tamahome.

If he isn’t one of the
Suzaku Seven anymore…

…that means you aren’t the
Priestess of Suzaku, either.

You can get married
any time you wish.

That’s right! I’m not
the priestess anymore!

Highness! Kutou has already
moved to att*ck us!

The first division of the th army is moving
toward the frontier to engage them!

But the Kutou forces outnumber
our own three to one!

It’ll only be a matter of
time before they break through!

So, they’re finally comin’!

All right!
We’ll fight them, too!

Tamahome?

Suzaku may be gone and
our marks may be gone…

…but we’re still the
Suzaku Seven, Your Highness!

Tamahome…

Me, too! I’m going, too!
I’m still the priestess!

All right! Let’s give
this all we’ve got!

YEAH!!!

Bring the god beasts
to this world?

Yeah. Takiko Okuda,
the Priestess of Genbu…

…summoned the god beast
and returned to this world.

You saw it, didn’t you?
That hole?

Genbu Grotto.

Yeah. That’s apparently where
the god beast tried to come out.

Ever since I was a kid,
I thought it was just a story.

I never believed any
of Grandma’s stories…

You must have believed.
That’s why you went there.

Grandma would be so annoying
when I didn’t listen to her.

She was always so annoying…

Yui…
You finally summoned Seiryu.

Yui… I guess now
it’s time to say goodbye.

Just give it up, Miaka!

You’re about to go off with
Tamahome to help fight!

With Tamahome…

If he isn’t one of the
Suzaku Seven anymore…

…that means you aren’t
the Priestess of Suzaku, either.

You can get married
any time you wish.

Married…

That’s right. I can be
Tamahome’s bride now if I wanted to.

Oh, what am I talking about?!
This isn’t the time for that!

I wonder if we’ll
survive fighting…

…now that the Suzaku Seven
have lost their powers.

Enough with the weird faces!

Tamahome?

You… You’re serious about
going with us to fight?

This isn’t going
to be a game.

Tamahome… I’m not making
this decision to fight lightly!

Hotohori gave me his holy
sword to defend myself with.

I may not be able
to use it that well…

…but I don’t want to just be a
burden to you and the rest!

Besides…!

Besides, I don’t want to leave
you for even a second…

This may be selfish
of me to say…

…but somewhere in my heart
I’m glad you didn’t summon Suzaku.

Now that you aren’t
the priestess anymore…

…you and I are just a
normal man and woman.

I still think a thought
like this is too selfish, but…

But, now, I want
you more than ever…

What am I talking about?!
Better cut that out!

The empire’s in danger, so winning
this w*r comes first, doesn’t it?

See you later.
We’d better get some rest now.

Win…? Will we win?

The Kutou army’s three times
bigger than Konan’s, they said.

Everyone in the city says we
have no chance of b*ating them.

Everyone may die tomorrow.
Including me and Tamahome…

It’s all right…

Tonight…
Tonight, please stay with me…

Tonight, make me…
Make me your bride!

You’re sure about this?

We may die.

But even if we do, I won’t mind.

Miaka…

We decided we’d spend
our lives together.

You and I, together…

So, it’s only right
that we die together.

Nakago! It’s time.
We should move out.

Wh-What in the world is…?

That’s Tomo’s shell,
Shin, isn’t it?

Yes. When we went to find his body,
this was all that was left of him.

I’d just opened it before
to pass the time, and then…

Who would have thought it held
such wonders for me to see?

Lady Yui’s world…?

Perhaps.

Won’t you do it for me?
Take off your armor?

What are you
talking about?

I’ve taken my armor off in
front of you many times before.

Yes, I’ve shared your body
with you many times before.

To increase your life force.
But, your heart…

I’ve never been able to
see into your heart!

Do you remember when I first
met you seven years ago?

In all that time… You’ve been
the only thing in my life—

There is only one person who
can possibly fulfill my needs.

And you are not her.

Tonight I become
Tamahome’s bride.

After all the times we were
separated from each other…

…at last, we’ll be joined.

Miaka…

Why does my stomach
choose NOW to do this?!

God, that’s so typical for you!
You’re hopeless, you know that?

Well…

Let’s just sleep tonight.

We can try picking
this up next time.

On the night
after we get married.

Tamahome…

Just eat something
beforehand, okay?

Tamahome! Tamahome!

Miaka, you know where Tamahome is?!
The Kutou army’s about to—

What are you two doing
at a time like this?!

Those clouds!

Soi!

Incredible! The Konan forces
don’t stand a chance against us!

He’s come.

Where are they hiding?!

Tamahome!

Yui…

Miaka!

Shall we test
it out, Lady Yui?

Whether our first wish to
Seiryu has been granted?

Gimme the holy sword, Miaka!
Then hit the deck!

Tamahome!

This is funny! Seeing the
Suzaku Seven so weak now!

It looks like their character
marks aren’t appearing now.

With Suzaku sealed, it seems
they’re just normal humans now.

Tamahome!
Speak to me, Tamahome!

Miaka! I’ll hold
them off here!

Take the holy sword and run!

At this rate,
they’ll just k*ll all of us!

If I die, I’ll take them with me.

But I won’t let you die!
Now go, while you can!

What are you saying? We’re going
to live together, aren’t we?!

You said I was going to become
your bride after this battle, right?

I’m not leaving you,
no matter what!

Nakago… I’m sorry.

We’ll have to leave
your wish for later.

Lady Yui!

Kai…jin!

Lady Yui, what are you…?!

Nakago, look out!

Damn!

Tasuki!

Soi!

Nakago…!

You little brat!
I’ll teach you to run away!

I paid good money to
your parents for you!

Can’t do it with
a customer, huh?!

Now take them off!.

Thank you!

Nakago! What’s the
matter?! Hurry up!

Nakago…

Nakago…

Nakago…!

From that day…till now…
I’ve always wanted to be with you…

At last…
I could be… useful…

I… love…

Soi…

Nakago! Lady Yui is…!

Blue light.

Yui? She’s not acting
like she usually does.

It’s time to say goodbye
to Tamahome, Miaka!

Seiryu, who dwells within me!
Grant my second wish!

Take Miaka and myself back
to our world at once!

Don’t let her stay in the
world of this book any longer!

Miaka!

It’s just like when I
first came to this world!

Everything around me is vanishing!
I’m going back to my world!

N-No! Tamahome!

MIAKA!

I don’t want
to go back! Because I…!

The school is now closed.

All students still on the
grounds must leave at once.

Repeat, the school is now closed.

All students still on the
grounds must leave at once.

School…
I… I’ve come back…

No! What about
the others? Tamahome?!

Tamahome!

Tamahome…!

Tamahome has appeared in the real
world along with the Lady Miaka.

It is a miracle wrought by Tamahome’s
desire to protect the Lady Miaka.

Amidst the battle, for now
sealed off on their own…

…the Lady Miaka and Tamahome
devote themselves to each other.

Next time, “Boy of Fact and Fiction.”

In this moment, say a prayer…
