Summary of Volume two The time in 'Tougenkyou', when civilization and beliefs are attacked by a surge of minus energy. Four outlaws travel west to stop the experimenting of Gyumaou's resurrection, which is causing great disaster. During their journey, while stopping by a nearby town, we discover Gojyou clearly has a long lost brother. Will there come a day when Gojyou will finally meet his brother, Jien, again__ The group witnessed the power of Kougaiji's charisma when stopping the recklessness of his medicine practitioner, Yaone. The four hear the rumor of a high priest known as "the messiah". Encountering the massive numbers of demons killed passing by the mountains, done by the priest called Rikudou......It is revealed that Rikudou was from Sanzo's past, Shuei, but a powerful seal changed him. Rikudou stabs through Sanzo's body. Frozen in the flowing time, only the echo of the falling rain resounding. Chapter 12- Metamorphose Goku: "...zo! Sanzo...!!" "SANZO!! Sanzo..." Hakkai: "Don't move him, Goku!!" Rikudou: I...with these hands, I...!! "UWAAAAAA!!" Stop it...don't extinguish it...!! "heh...just look at that...!!" "Bastards who support demons, even if they're human, they deserve to die!!" Goku: "Ah..." Gojyou: "Hey, Goku? What's wrong, Goku!?" Hakkai: "GOKU...!?" Goku: "ha...HAAA...!!" What's this... "ha, HAA" Gojyou: "Goku!!" Hakkai: "Get a hold of yourself!!" Goku: Who is this__who "AHH..." Hakkai: "His youriyoku controller...!?" Goku: "UWAAAA!!" Gojyou: "GOKU!!" Hakkai: "! Don't, Gojyou. Get back...!" Goku: "HAA!" (his ears get pointy, his hair and nails are growing very long at an abnormally fast rate) Gojyou: "That's Goku..." Hakkai: "That is his true appearance, being free from his 'Youriyoku controller' seal" [The only life in existence, born from a boulder emitting earth's aura] [Seitentaisei Son Goku] (Heavenly shaman Son Goku) Rikudou: "haha, so that's your real form!!" "As I thought, the monster form suits you bastards well!!!" Goku: "......" Rikudou: "WHA...!?" Gojyou: Fast...!! Goku: (evil grin) Rikudou: !! "Shit...!!" "What...!?" "He has that much power to burn off my seals...!" "GAAAH...!!" Gojyou: "...is this for real..." I heard about this from Sanzo but, I didn't know he could be that fierce__ Hakkai: "There's no time to stare in admiration right now." Gojyou: "Hakkai" Hakkai: "...He's still breathing!" "The rain is dropping his body temperature. I need to at least stop his bleeding...!!" Gojyou: "What are you gonna do?" Hakkai: "I'll close his wound using my spirit energy. It's the least I could do without disturbing his vital state..." "I'll do what ever I can for Sanzo" "Gojyou, please stop Goku." Gojyou: "y,yeah__but how!?" Hakkai: "I don't know. If only Sanzo..._But" "right now, Goku has clearly lost his sanity__at this rate" "He is at a state where he cannot control his full power, he'll continue to rampage until everything is destroyed...!!" Rikudou: !! "GYAAAAAH!!" Gojyou: !! Rikudou: The beads...!? Goku: "UWAAA!!!" Rikudou: "ku..." Gojyou: "He ran away...!?" Rikudou: [I have not fled!! Just you remember, I'll definitely be back.] [When that time comes, I'll exterminate all of your bastard's existence...!!] Hakkai: Rikudou___ ...I'm sure that he'll definitely make another appearance. As long as he's being controlled by that seal... At least I was able to close Sanzo's wound. The remaining problem is__ Gojyou: "Goku!!" "Hey, you okay? Go..." !! Hakkai: "Don't! Right now, Goku doesn't have the ability to distinguish us" Gojyou: "__shit, you running a muck...!!" "Shit..." "...try EATING THIS!!" "You...!!" Goku: ! "GAA...!?" Hakkai: "Gojyou!!" Gojyou: "~~~wake the fuck up you stupid monkey...!!!" Kanzeon Bosatsu: [__hold him still like that!!] Gojyou: "Wha...What's that!?" !? "Goku...!!" "__he fell asleep..." Hakkai: "What was that just now...?" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "geez" "can't get anything done right." "...yo" Hakkai: "ah...what are you...!?" (Meanwhile, somewhere else) Rikudou: "hah..hah..." "SHIT!!" "That brat......what the hell is he!?" "damn it......how dare he" ...I lost everything. I have nothing left anymore. "hehe...kukuku..." I'll kill them. Everyone, everyone, I'll kill them__ top volume 03 chapter 13 Chapter 13- Faith in mind Kanzeon Bosatsu: "...Yo" Hakkai: "ah" "Who are you...?" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "heh" "Getting yourselves confined in such a situation so soon. You guys' aren't that great." Gojyou: "Wha, What the hell are you!!" Jiroushin: "Hey you!" "Watch your tongue!! This person is one of five gods, ruler of heaven." "The symbol of love and mercy, she's Kanzeon Bosatsu!!" (He's holding a mic -_-;;) "Since she is both sexes, we cannot show you anymore than this." Gojyou: "Kannon-sama!? This is!!?" (Kannon- Goddess of mercy) Hakkai: "It feels more like 'the symbol of narcissism and obscenity' though..." Kanzeon Bosatsu: "...you have some nerves." Gojyou: "ah...could it be that before, it was you who repaired his youriyoku controller...!?" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "Yeah" "...that kid's kinko (gold headband) shouldn't be generalized as just being a power controller." [It's not made of ordinary material but rather from a high supernatural power, solidified.] [A special kinko that is given by a 'god'] "In other words, Son Goku's power is that much extraordinary." "...since the time he was still in heaven." Hakkai: "eh...?" In heaven...? Goku was? Kanzeon Bosatsu: "well now, the problem is this guy." "Looks like he took quite a blow." Hakkai: "I've closed his wound but he's lost a lot of blood...only this" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "Leave it to me. There's nothing I can't do." Hakkai: "um__Are all Gods like this?" Jiroushin: "Ah...well, not really..." Kanzeon Bosatsu: "Hey, you big guy with the blood-colored hair! Give me your face a minute." Gojyou: "What the, HEY!!" "I don't care if you're a god or what ever, don't just order around..." !! "~~~~~" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "...well, that seems good enough" Gojyou: "...what did you do all of a sudden...!!?" "Wha...?" Hakkai: "Gojyou?" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "...if you move too much, you'll get an anemia. Since I sucked out a lot of vigor from your body just now." Gojyou: "I.See." "Say it before you do that" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "I bet you're pissed that I'm doing this right 'Konzen Doushi'. No...it's Genjo Sanzo now huh." "If you're pissed, try surviving" "With your own power." ! Hakkai: "Sanzo!!" "his consciousness...?" Kanzeon Bosatsu: "...no" "Just now, he brushed me off while unconscious...really, a cute guy." Kanzeon Bosatsu: "Well anyway, there's no need for a blood transfusion anymore." "We Gods are great right." Hakkai: "...thank you very much." Kanzeon Bosatsu: "If you want to offer some gratitude, pay it with your body. I'm not lending a hand because of good intention or a moral heart." "The real purpose of this journey is..." "to prevent the resurrection of Gyumaou." Well, besides. If he died here, it wouldn't be that fun now would it. "See you later" Hakkai: "Ah, wait..." Kanzeon Bosatsu: [Show me. A constructed piece of junk with mismatched parts, how far can it run.] (in case you're confused, she's referring to them ^^;; ) Hakkai/Gojyou: "......" (Back at the inn) Hakkai: "Goku, so you were here." "I don't think Sanzo will wake up anytime soon so why don't you get something to eat__" Goku: "...no, its okay." "I'll stay here." Hakkai: "You don't remember anything that happened while your controller was off, right Goku." Goku: "......yeah." "When I saw that blood was pouring out of Sanzo's stomach, everything suddenly blanked out." "My head started spinning and I saw different things..." __That reminds me. Who was that guy. He looked like Sanzo__He looks familiar. "...I said it before but I don't have any memories of the past." "The memories before I was locked up inside Mount Gogyou" [I think I did something really offensive.] [...but I remember that I had something that I really wanted to protect] [I can't think of what it was though.] "I was kept inside a rock prison, all chained up." "I watched nothing but the sky, year after year." [A golden light then reached out a helping hand] [The sunlight, which I admired for so long] "...I always got saved by Sanzo." "I couldn't do anything for Sanzo's sake." Hakkai: "__but, I think you should first 'answer' 'for whose sake'" "For example, if there's a person that can rely on me, I will protect that person with all my might." "If I rely on that person too, all the more, I don't want to feel ashamed in front of that person__" "Sanzo said that 'they won't die' didn't he" "That's why we must respond to that." "by our own strength, which he can be proud of." Goku: For my own sake. "...I see." __ At least in front of these guys "yeah." "I'll become strong." I will not die like a coward___ Hakkai: "well...I'm sure you're quite hungry. Gojyou is still worn out from the blood transfusion so should we make something good for the body." Goku: "Ah. Hakkai, you're gonna cook!? YAY~ I'll go look in the kitchen!" Hakkai: "He sure recovered fast..." "__really" "You are the only one that can make Goku that discouraged. __anyway" "Please remind yourself not to do anything rash that would reopen that closed wound." "since I won't be able to heal a wound already present." Sanzo: "ku..." "_this sucks..." "!!" "Shit...!" Gojyou: "The guy with the droopy eyes." "If you want to sneak out by yourself, then feel free to go out through that window." "I'm here because I'm supposed to be your guard this round." Sanzo: "......" Gojyou: "It's alright, you can do whatever you want." "Its your problem isn't it? I have no obligation to stop you." Sanzo: "__everyone's messed up. Such meddlesome crackheads." Gojyou: "You're so impersonal. We had a relation to the point of Indirectly kissing nonetheless." (^^;;;Sanzo points his gun to Gojyou's head behind the door...sugoi) Gojyou: "...well, it's a joke." "Rikudou's beads around his neck." "Those were yours right" Sanzo: "What about it." Gojyou: "...I knew it." "It lit up, like it protected him." "The thing that last supported Rikudou's soul which is taken over by the seal is probably those beads." "By the time the beads no longer withstood the power of the seal, he__" Sanzo: "......" Gojyou: "Well, I don't really care though." "Since there are the other two won't shut up about your problems. You're really popular aren't you, Sanzo-sama *heart*" Sanzo: "...spatter all you want." Gojyou: "See you~" Rikudou: "Hah hah" The beads "...hah hah hah" It's pulling toward something. As if it's being guided... Someone is calling. Some voice I know. This surge is__!! "ha..." "Kouryu......" "you're, you're alive." "You casually came here by yourself to get killed?" Sanzo: "__no" "I came to kill you with my own hands." top volume 03 chapter 14 Kouryu: I'll give this to you. Hold on to it... It's really rare. Sanzo: "I came to kill you with my own hands." Rikudou: "__figured..." Shuei: Sounds like you......Kouryu. Chapter 14- Good night Rikudou: "hehe...I see, then try and kill me." "If you can kill me that is!!" "You should realize, that I took this body 's pain." "You leaving the temple and my destiny to go mad...!!" Sanzo: "Shit" Rikudou: "heheh" Sanzo: "......" "Impudent talk, you're fighting has gotten sluggish. You can't move your shoulder that Goku bit into." "Its risky trying to perform a special exorcism on you with that seal, unfortunately." Rikudou: "kuku...heheheh. Now...I understand completely." "What this body wants." "It wants your life, Kouryu." Sanzo: ! That time... That time I didn't involuntarily try to protect Goku. The deep scar inside of me, the pain that doesn't cease to exist. (flashbacks) Hakkai: since I won't be able to heal a wound already present. Gojyou: Since there are the other two won't shut up about your problems. Goku: yeah. I'll become strong. [by our own strength, which he can be proud of.] Sanzo: I'm not going to die for 'someone's sake'. Because I know the pain of 'that someone' left behind will face if I did. I live for myself and die for myself only. That is my pride. Rikudou: "...makusanmanda.basaradansen... Sanzo: This chanting is...!! Rikudou: "darakarashadanwataya.untaratakanman" "on.kirikiri" "on.kirikiri" Sanzo: "!?" Rikudou: "noumansarabatatagyateiyakusaraba.bokeibyakusaraba.tatarasenda.matarasenda.makaroshakengyakisaraba." "bikinanutaratananman" "...onkirionkyakuun" (...damn that's a lot of chanting >.<) "noumakusanmanda.basarashadanwataya. untaratakanman." "Fudou Rei Bakujyutsu." (spell of immobility) Sanzo: "......!!" Oh shit... his personal favorite spell that gives temporary paralysis. I can't move my body...!! !! Rikudou: "heheh...kukukuku. It looks...like I'm dreaming, Kouryu." "Like pulling off a bird's wing. I'm gonna kill you with these hands." "Die, be my property. Your soul and everything." "Lets go together and try that nightmare you showed me...!!" Sanzo: "...no...fuckin' way..." "Kinzan temple being attacked could be my cause...but you...being controlled the seal" "Is because of your own weakness." Rikudou: "Shut up!! Shut up...shut up!!" "If you, if you didn't exist...!!" !! "AH, AHHHHHHH!!" Sanzo: "......!" Rikudou: "AAHHHHHHH!!" Sanzo: "Shuei..." The seal... It's gradually swallowing up his entire existence. There is nothing left of 'Shuei' anymore to restrain. Nothing at all__ (flashback dialogue) Shuei: Ko...ryu...u [everyone said] [you looked like a fighting Rasetsu] [although I thought you looked like something else.] Kouryu: [...what do you mean by that] Shuei: [...hmm, I wonder] Kouryu. ...if you didn't exist. I would have lost myself much sooner. Rikudou: "GAA" "OWAAAAA" Sanzo: "Shuei..." !! (more flashbacks) Kouryu: [That is my purpose] Shuei: [heh?] Kouryu: [Even if I don't believe in God, I can believe in myself.] Shuei: [Sounds like you.] Kouryu: [I'll give this to you.] [...besides, I never gave anyone anything before] [It's really rare.] (gun shot sound: bang) Shuei: [_thank you.] (and still yet another flashback) Koumyou: "ah. Look Kouryu." "The birds are migrating north." "...Kouryu." "I wonder who decided on birds being free." "For example, they fly whenever they feel like it. They don't have to struggle on land...if there is a branch they can rest their wings." I guess I'm sad because they get to have wings." "To really be free may well be to have a place to go to..." Gojyou: "So where do you want to go, Mister?" Goku: "The fare is 10,000 yen." Sanzo: "......" "To the west, obviously." "I'm gonna sleep! Whoever wakes me up gets killed." Hakkai: "okay okay." "Good night." Kanzeon Bosatsu: "ah finally. That assembled piece of junk is still running well I guess." "They haven't changed one bit since 500 years ago." "If they're willing to dance with someone higher than themselves, they're the type of company that would die while biting their tongue." __how many times will they die. How many times will they be brought back to life. "...you know quite well right?" "...well, the way you are now" "you can't see anything though." "Nataku." top volume 03 chapter 15 Chapter 15- Drop a bomb Houtoujyou Gyokumen Kosyu: "...what are you doing? I told you to go kill Sanzo's group." "How dare you come back so casually empty handed. You having a hard time catching 4 little fishes." "...Kougaiji" "and you call yourself this person's (Gyumaou) son?" "Stop hesitating and take care of those who get in my way." Kougaiji: "......" "...really...are you going to release my mother from her seal after you resurrect father?" Gyokumen Kosyu: "my, you're persistent. I've got it, I'll give you back Lady Rasetsu." Background: This guy with a mother complex. Gyokumen Kosyu: "__under one condition" "Gyumaou belongs only to me." "I'm planning to become his real wife." Kougaiji: Four little fishes huh...she sure said it. Sure if I fight seriously, it wouldn't be impossible to attack them. But confronting with them made me first realize, they have 'something' that is clearly different from me. ...Am I really hesitating? I, myself__ That's right... I know that really, there is no meaning to this fight. Even if I defeat that group, nothing will ever change. As long as Gyokumen Kosyu has her desire, this world will be covered with chaos. But if it takes that much, "Mother......" Even so I__ "I just want to save you...! Yaone: "Ah...Kougaiji-sama!!" Kougaiji: "Oh its you, Yaone...what's the matter." Yaone: "Ririn-sama is not here!" Kougaiji: "...Isn't that always the case." Yaone: "But I haven't seen her since last night." "All the maids are out together looking for her but..." Dokugakuji: "It seems one flying dragon for long distance travel is missing. You think Ririn rode it out somewhere?" Yaone: "But...there is no place in particular to travel that far except__" Kougaiji: "!! It can't be. That idiot...!!" Yaone: "Eh?" Ririn: "Yawn__" "I'm sure that Oni-chan is angry right about now." "But I hate being cooped up in that depressing castle anyway!! Although its fun to tease Oni-chan." "Should I tell you where I want to go from here?" "In place of Oni-chan, I'll go beat the bad guys...!!" (meanwhile in town) Goku: "Wow__So many shops." Gojyou: "It's been a while since we came to such a lively town." Sanzo: "Yeah" Hakkai: "I'm sure they haven't been influenced by the demons that much." Goku: "Sanzo!! I wanna eat that!" Sanzo: "Permission declined." Goku: "Why not!! You mean monk!!! Droopy eyes!! Baldy!!" Sanzo: "I won't hear it. Who's bald." Hakkai: "there there...isn't it okay to give him at least one meat bun?" Sanzo: "If you spoil the kid it will become a bad habit, Hakkai." Gojyou: "You're just like a housewife." Sanzo: "You wanna die?" Certainly__this is strangely a lively town...but for just that reason we can't stay here too long. Man: "Hello, you misters walking over there." "Travelers I surmise?" "I, Chin Isou, can tell you the future of your journey." Gojyou: "heh, we have no interest in fortune telling." Sanzo: "First of all, a fortuneteller using common mahjong tiles isn't very convincing." Chin Isou: "How unfortunate...well, it's okay. I will tell you, nonetheless. The shadow of death is appearing, everyone." "kukukuku...how scary..." All: !! This guy...!? Chin Isou: "I can see that you are all living close to death am I right? I know." "Especially for__ yes, you." (points to Hakkai) Hakkai: ! Chin Isou: "You are deceptive, showing your face like that of a fox in lamb's skin. However, you have the eyes of a criminal." Hakkai: "......" Chin Isou: "You have a scar on your stomach do you not? That is the proof of your crime, to the degree of that which cannot be atoned..." Goku: "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?" Chin Isou: "Oh my." Goku: "YOU WANNA PICK A FIGHT!?" Chin Isou: "I'm just a fortuneteller. A very unconvincing one...indeed. Kukuku" Hakkai: "......" Chin Isou: "My tiles tells of your destiny...see" "'Thou art together is calamity'__" "Well, it is your choice whether or not to believe it though..." Goku: "What do you mean..." Villagers: "KYAAAAAA!!" "GYAAAA!!" "It's a monster!!" Gojyou: "Wha...what the hell is that...!?" Hakkai: "!!" He's gone...... (Flashback thinking of Chin Isou): You have the eyes of a criminal, to the degree of that which cannot be atoned___ 'Chin Isou'__ who is that man...... Gojyou: "Could it be that it's another one of Gyumaou's assassins!?" Sanzo: "No, I don't know for sure, but the letter on its stomach...that's the symbol of a 'shikigami'." (shikigami is a type of summoning spirit) Gojyou: "Shikigami!? That huge thing!?" Sanzo: This shikigami...as I thought is that weird fortuneteller from before...? Is he also one of Gyumaou's assassins. No...something tells me that it's different. Something is___... Villagers: "KYAA!!" "AH..." Goku: "geh...that's horrible......!" Gojyou: "shit...even though we don't know who made it" "Don't be so cocky!!" !! "Wha...!!" "~~Wait a minute!! Could such a strong shikigami exist!?" Sanzo: "why is it so well made...?" Hakkai: "Watch out...Get out of the way!!" Goku: "~~~that was close!! I thought I was gonna die..seriously..." Gojyou: "But, Its so big, so strong and black, ain't it great, honey *heart*" Sanzo: "...don't talk of indecent things at a time like this." Hakkai: "Sanzo! The Maten Kyoumon...!" Sanzo: "As I thought, that's our only option. Goku!! Turn it away to its weak point!" Goku: "Agreed *heart*" "I'm gonna be your opponent, crab monster!!" Cat: "Nyao" Goku: a cat...? Hakkai: "Look out..." Goku: "Wha..." Gojyou: "What just happened?" Ririn: "That was close. Ahaha, that tickles." Gojyou: "A, a little girl!?" Hakkai: "Just now...that child did?" Ririn: "Ah__'Sanzo's group' I finally found you!!" All: "eh?" Ririn: "I'm Ririn!!" "In place of Kougaiji Oni-chan, I'm gonna beat you guys up." Hakkai: "She said 'Oni-chan'__could it be." All: "She's Kougaiji's...little sister!?" Ririn: "...so die *heart*" Yaone: "EH, to where Sanzo's group is!?" Kougaiji: "There's no doubt about it. I'm going after her." Dokugakuji: "You have such a pessimistic personality..." top volume 03 chapter 16 Chapter 16- Confront Kougaiji: "She ran off leaving him in a place like this..." Yaone: "I believe she's not far from here...but I guess it would be faster to chase after Sanzo's group then." Kougaiji: "Really...!! She's a pain in the neck." Dokugakuji: "You say that but you're really worried about her, aren't you, Oni-chan" Kougaiji: "Shut up!!" "What do you know!! Acting like some older brother." Dokugakuji: "...I should know?" "You sure said it." "My father also had a mistress, and I had a younger brother too...one from a different mother." "Although he was a cheeky little brat, to me, he was my cute little bro." "......well eventually I couldn't save my own suffering mother but...seeing you brings back memories." Kougaiji: "...sorry." "I said too much." Dokugakuji: "I said don't worry about it!" "Besides Kou, this isn't sympathy or anything. I decided on it myself." Kougaiji: "'decided'...?" Dokugakuji: "Six years ago when I suddenly stumbled into your castle, you took me in without question or hesitation." "I decided from that time on that 'I'm leaving my life to this guy's hand'" Kougaiji: "Dokugaku......" Dokugakuji: "Listen Kou. Live your life the way you want it." "Whatever path you take we'll follow." "Our one and only master." (Back to Sanzo's situation...) Ririn: "...so that's why" "come wherever you want!!" Gojyou: "Even if say wherever..." Hakkai: "Well, what shall we do." Ririn: "You're making fun of me because I'm little?" "Then I'll go first!!" Gojyou: "UWA!!?" Goku: "Wha..." Gojyou: "Goku, you go. You're about her size." Goku: "Why should I, if it's a kid, Hakkai can take her!?" Hakkai: "Even if you say so, if its handling women, Gojyou should take her." Goku: "Dya!" Gojyou: "Wai..wait a minute!!" Ririn: "I'm not gonna wait, you bad guys must all die!!" Sanzo: "Detainment complete." Ririn: "nya?" "Let me go droopy eyes! Baldy!!" Sanzo: "...I'll kill you, seriously. Who are you calling bald." Gojyou: "Well done, Sanzo." Hakkai: "You are highly skilled handling small animals!!" Goku: "Who are you calling small animals." Ririn: "I'm really pissed now!!" Sanzo: "You wanna eat?" Ririn: "I'll eat." Hakkai: "Ah, he tamed her. He's a pro." Kougaiji: "Not so fast." "We meet again Sanzo's group. I'm here to take back my younger sister." Goku: "Kougaiji......!!" "~~You know, don't make us sound like we kidnapped her! She came here first!!" Gojyou: "How the hell did you raise your sister up!?" Hakkai: "She's a girl version of Goku~" Yaone: "somehow...it looks like they're asking for trouble." Kougaiji: "......" Dokugakuji: "They didn't say anything about giving her back either." Ririn: "Hi~ Oni-chan *heart*" Kougaiji: "Its not 'hi' you idiot!!" Sanzo: "Its alright, we'll give it back, we don't really want it anyway." Goku: "Hey, Kougaiji!!" "Don't tell me your gonna take your sis and go off again right? "I wanna finish off what we started last time!" Kougaiji: "heh, alright with me. On this occasion, it would be a handful for me to take you guys alone but if it's a four on four...!!" Ririn: "No way *heart* I wanna join in too" "Eat this! Droopy eye monk!!" "This is for earlier *heart*" Sanzo: "You know...I'm no fucking babysitter!!" Ririn: "Owww!!" "I'm gonna die~" Sanzo: "...so, how long are you going to continue with that shitty acting?" Ririn: "you found out?" Hakkai: "Its you..." (bows) Yaone: "I apologize for showing you such hostility the other day!" Hakkai: "not at all, thank you for your courtesy." Yaone: "Would you honor me with a duel again, Cho Hakkai-dono." "This time I wish to live my life serving that person." Hakkai: "That is a wonderful goal." Gojyou: "My opponent is you? Mister" Dokugakuji: "...Sha Gojyou...is it" Gojyou: "What?" Dokugakuji: "I wasn't sure until I met you in person but I guess I was right." "yo" Gojyou: "haha...are you serious?" "What...are you doing here...!?" I knew it. He was...alive. Dokugakuji: "I didn't introduce myself did I. I'm Kougaiji's top swordsman, Dokugakuji." "...well, that's how it goes." "Unfortunately, its in my nature that can't yield to your chosen lifestyle." "Sorry." Gojyou: "ku...haha!!" Well what do you know, he's looking good. We're even. "Same with me. I'm like that too." Goku: "Over here Kougaiji!!" Kougaiji: "ku, you impertinent little brat...!" ? Where is he...This guy...!? "Wha..." He's definitely gotten stronger than last time...! Mother__ For the sake of saving mother "Shit!" I cannot afford to lose. "To ones who don't have something to protect..!!" "...what do you bastards have. Who are you fighting for, for what reason are you fighting for that you become that much stronger...!?" Goku: "Look, I don't have a clue what you're talking about! Its for myself of course!" Kougaiji: "...!!" Hey, is that all...oh......I see...'that is it'. Dokugakuji: "Kou!" Yaone: "Kougaiji-sama...!!" Kougaiji: The feeling of 'something' that I lacked. Freedom. Confidence. Oneself...That's all it takes for them to be strong. Absolute power. Yaone: "Kougaiji-sama..." Kougaiji: "Don't come!" "His opponent will be me." "You hit me__six times just now." "I'll return it twofold." Goku: "That's the spirit!" top volume 03 chapter 17 Chapter 17- Overlap each other Kougaiji: "...I got hit six times just now." "I'll return the favor twofold!" Goku: "That's the spirit!" Kougaiji: "Don't cry about it later, monkey!!" Goku: "haha, that's my line!!" Chinisou: "...my my..." "Looks like they're having fun." "But since this party is finally starting, I should make it more colorful. I'll help out on that." "'Cho Gonou'" "To you with my love." Sanzo: ! "...Goku! Behind you__" Goku: "eh?" "Wha...!?" (monster whacks both Kougaiji and Goku.) "GAH" Kougaiji: "Gu...!" Hakkai: "Goku!!" Yaone: "Kougaiji-sama!?" Gojyou: "Shit...!" Goku: "Gojyou..." Gojyou: "Hurry up and run, I can't hold it back!!" ! "My bad. I'll owe you one." Dokugakuji: "Don't bother. This is what you'd call an hour truce?" Ririn: "I thought I beat that thing." Sanzo: "Get off. I'll definitely kill you." Yaone: "A shikigami...!? That huge__" Hakkai: "So your people didn't send it after all." Sanzo: "then who the hell was that weird fortuneteller?" "What's exactly his intention." Hakkai: "......" Chinisou Gojyou: "GWA!!" Hakkai: "Gojyou..." Kougaiji: "Dokugaku!" Gojyou: "I can't cut it at all!!" Sanzo: "Its impossible even if we chopped off a leg or two! Unless we blow the whole damn thing up it won't mean shit." Yaone: "Kougaiji-sama!!" "AHH!!" Kougaiji: "!! Ya..." Hakkai: "Yaone-san!!" Kougaiji: "Damn...!!" "Take care of Yaone!" "Goku, can you stop that shikigami from moving." Goku: "Eh?" Kougaiji: "If you buy me some time I could summon a spirit. That's the only way to beat that." "Just stop it from moving for a few seconds so I can take it out with one blow...however just don't get swallowed with it." Goku: "......" "Got it!" "You too, don't miss now okay!?" Kougaiji: "Hurry up and go already!!" Sanzo: "......" "Are they aware they're enemies." Gojyou: "You guys too." Sanzo: "Shut up. Die." Ririn: "I wanna join in too." Sanzo: "Then get off!!" Gojyou: "...just leave it to your brother." Kougaiji: (chanting a summoning spell) Chinisou: "......my my" "so do you like my entertainment?" Goku: "NYOIBOU!!" Chinisou: "Please enjoy it as much as you can, Cho Gonou." "You have many things to lose as much as you have that are precious right?" Goku: "...Kougaiji!" Kougaiji: "get out of there, Goku!!" "ENGOKUKI!!" (back at Gyokumen Kosyu's base) Gyokumen Kosyu: "...you know I hate to rely upon others to get what I want." "I get irritated when I look at someone who doesn't realize how powerless he is and thinks nothing but of his desires beyond the point of absurdity. (bunny slippers -_-;;;) Ni Jyeni: "...I understand but Gokumen Kosyu" "for a person like yourself, there is not another individual who would invade the world for their own sake." Gyokumen Kosyu: "Oh my are you complementing me?" Ni Jyeni: "Of course." Prof. Hwan: "I finished checking, there is no abnormality." Gyokumen Kosyu: "I see" "By the way, have they found Ririn yet?" Wan Roushi: "Oh, as expected, Gyokumen-sama is also worried about her own daughter's well being?" Gyokumen Kosyu: "Why of course, because she is necessary for Gyumaou's resurrection." Prof. Hwan: This person is...... Gyokumen Kosyu: "That's right. I'll get what I want with my own power. My dear one, everything is for you." Goku: Did we get it?" Gojyou: "Looks like it." Goku: ! "Kougaiji..." Kougaiji: "We'll withdraw for today since there were many interferences and all." "...I'll apologize for one thing. I hesitated about the path, which I was taking. I thought it was offensive of me to challenge you all with a troubled mind. ...but I have something very important to me, to the degree that I cannot measure between good and evil. That's why next time I'll risk everything...to defeat you! For my own sake." Goku: "Aren't you going to 'return it twofold'?" Kougaiji: "Put it on my tab. I'll pay it back soon." Ririn: "SANZO!! I had fun today~ *heart*" "I'll come again~ so lets play together again, okay? Sanzo: "Who's playing, you shitty brat." Gojyou: "Next time, bring back a souvenir, okay?" Dokugakuji: "You too, prepare some tea at least." Hakkai: "Take care of your injuries." Yaone: "yes, everyone also take care." Goku: "They told us to 'take care'." Gojyou: "Haha!" "That's one weird group of enemies we have there." Sanzo: It seems that they too are just one of somebody's pawns." "Some fuckin' dumbass who is trying to resurrect Gyumaou and force this world into chaos is the one behind Kougaiji. That's the real enemy we need to defeat." Gojyou: "...anyway, let's leave this city." Sanzo: "Yeah." Hakkai: A clay doll...this was the identity of that shikigami before. ? There is something inside... kanji: "Sin" Chinisou: You have the eyes of a criminal. Hakkai: (sounds of vomiting) Gojyou: "?...Hakkai!!?" Hakkai: "I'm alright...its nothing at all." Yes... those eyes...I know them from somewhere......? Who is he? top volume 03 calling Calling Kouryu: "..." "...why don't you smoke that somewhere less conspicuous?" Koumyou: "oh, but the autumn skies are so beautiful nowadays." Kouryu: "That has no relation to it whatsoever." Koumyou: "I'm being careful not to burn anything so don't worry." Kouryu: "Why don't you burn everything then. It will save sweeping time." Koumyou: "'swept by a river Kouryu' is it" Kouryu: ! Koumyou: "I gave you such an awkward name." "well, frankly most monks wouldn't be open to company only of name." Kouryu: "I don't think about it. This much I'm accustomed to anyway." "Besides, I honestly don't hate this name." 'Kouryu' The word means the Yangtze River. It's not bad to emulate the river's magnificence and its impressive mass. Kouryu: "The one who's peculiar is you, master. Even though Buddhism teaches of mercy and preserving life, you purposely took in an unknown kid like me who you don't even know where I came from and let me stay around you all the time." Koumyou: "......a voice. It's because I heard a voice." Kouryu: "huh?" Koumyou: "You called me. I guess its what you'd call an evocation." "You called out so persistently" Although it wasn't a voice which existed physically. It did reach me. "It was so annoying, I just decided to take you in." Kouryu: "......what the hell's that supposed to mean?" Koumyou: "Someday, you might be able to hear it too, you know? Someone's voice." Kouryu: "......if there is such a person, I'll find him and beat the crap up saying 'shut the hell up'."
