SFX: [*creak creak*]
Toki: What happened to that tree...?
Bonten: This is where Byakuroku and the Princess faced each other.
Toki: But... that means that blackened tree is...
Bonten: Yeah.

Bonten: It can kill anything it touches...!?
Beni: That's right...!

34
Beni: I think that's the ayakashi who's been spreading the black mist through the demon paths...!!
Toki: What is that thing...!?
Beni: At first we thought it was just a normal demon attack, but whenever the mist touched someone, their bodies would turn as black as ink...
Tsuyukusa: That's right.
Tsuyukusa: Once the miasma touches you, it's only a matter of time.
Toki: Tsuyukusa...!!  You don't mean...
Beni: Please forgive me!
Beni: This is all my fault...
SFX: [*collapse*]

35
Beni: We were defeated,
Beni: And he tried to open a path for our retreat...
Tsuyukusa: Stop right there.
Tsuyukusa: Don't get the idea that I helped you because I give a fuck about humans or anything.
Tsuyukusa: I was just protecting my territory.
Tsuyukusa: It's personal.
Tsuyukusa: This asshole thinks he can hang around here
Tsuyukusa: And do whatever he wants?

SFX: [*shock*]
Utsubushi: [The mist!?]
Toki: No, no!  Uhh, Utsubushi-san's changed a little, but it's a loooooong story...
Toki: Utsubushi-san, Beni-san!  You can handle the monster for a while, right?
Utsubushi: [No way, no way!!]
Hashita: [Come on, let's go...]
Toki: Bonten!!

42
Toki: How do we help Tsuyukusa?
Bonten: .....
Toki: ...?
Tsuyukusa: ...It's too late.
Toki: What!?
Bonten: ...I can't fix the seal.
Bonten: I don't have the power anymore...

43
Toki: So what are we going to do...!?
Tsuyukusa: Without the seal, I don't have much time... my soul will return to its true form.
Toki: Your true form...?
SFX: [*crumble*]

Demon: You can finally join us.
Demon: Yes, you too...
Demon: Will become a part of this miasma.
Demon: We've been waiting for you, Little Brother Tree.
Tsuyukusa: Ha...
Tsuyukusa: You think I wanna die and become some shitty mist?
Demon: Oh, but you will.
Demon: Listen.
Demon: Don't you want to know if your precious little human friend is with us?
Tsuyukusa: .....
Shinshu: [We'll be friends forever,]
Shinshu: [Right?]
Tsuyukusa: My human friend...?
Tsuyukusa: ...I don't know what you're talking about.
Demon: Have you forgotten?
Demon: Have you truly forgotten?
Demon: Hahahaha!!  How heartless can you be!?
SFX: [*shock*]
Demon: A human!
Toki: Beni-san!  Utsubushi-san!  Please, do something quickly!!
Demon: A human!  A little human girl!!
Demon: It was a child of man who murdered Byakuroku!!

48
Demon: You should have stayed in the forest!
Demon: It's your fault that *she* came to this place!
Demon: It's your fault!
Demon: It's your fault that the White Snake is dead!!
Demon: You'll see.  Soon you'll rejoin this forest.
Demon: And the forest's memories never lie.
