Tokoyo: [What are you thinking, Yusa-kun?]

From the sky of Suwahara, eight of Kamui have fallen.

Habaki: Wha…

This feeling, without any mistake, is the pressure of demon from the both sides, so strong that it threatens to melt anyone caught between them.
They are also coming there.

Sukuna: Oh, damn, messed up.
Sukuna: Looks like I’ve angered you.
Ryuumei: How shameless. It’s obvious that you’ve called them.

At that moment, with the strength enough to take our voices away, another violent surge came.

Keishirou: ...gh-h…

Projected into the sky, a giant face of a woman appeared. Golden eyes looked at us.
The moment before, Keishirou stopped for some reason, unable to move. He was standing, completely still, as if he become a wax statue.
Despite the fact that he should’ve been used to such incredible pressure, his eyes, arms, the whole body seemed out of order somehow.
As if there was a fang pointed at us, completely tying us in one place.
And yet, as if not interested in that situation at all, woman adressed Sukuna demanding an explanation.

Tokoyu: You, are you by any chance betrayed us?
Sukuna: Not at all.
Sukuna: But I do think you are boring.
Akuro: So that’s how it is.
Morei: That’s what we think as well.

In that moment, Akuro and Morei appeared, as if breaking through the thin air.

Sukuna: Kh...Ha-ha! Hey, hold back a bit, you two. We’re allies after all.

Sukuna, aloof until the very end, easily deflected the yin of the two, making is completely vanish.
What is that, what are they doing? While the reason is unclear, those strikes right now were completely serious.
Their anger alone created a tremor strong enough to make the sky crack.

Morei: Allies… Allies, you say.
Akuro: I don’t think that we need to hold back against you.
Tokoyo: [Answer me, Yusa-kun.]
Tokoyo: What are you thinking, showing them our memories?

Their memories?...
What is she trying to say?
All those illusions that we’ve seen, were their memories?
Absurd. No matter how you look at it, those are surely not a memories of that land. Or, may be… no, for sure…
Those beings from the west were not monsters…

Tokoyo: Honestly, present you, I do not understand at all. I cannot comprehend this situation.
Tokoyo: Depending on your ansewer…
Sukuna: You might attack me? Oh-oh, scary, scary. All of you are re-e-eally scary.
Sukuna: Well, that’s fine. I’m used to be hated. Right now, I don’t think I’ll die either way. But, you know what?
Sukuna: Who do you think I am, you guys?
Sukuna: I am his other side [friend]. So, I know him better than anyone else.
Sukuna: The side that you cannot see, his real feelings.
Sukuna: Think about it. He is an idiot, you know? So, really, he never wanted to protect such thing.
Sukuna: He never really wanted something like that.

And with that, another one came in.
This figure, I would never forget it. What I’ve seen before in Fuji, was just his faint shadow, but this time, it is real. Just from the presence of this tiger-faced Tenma, surrounding air seemed to start dying.
I was barely able to keep my mind from going crazy in that very moment. And even so, I had a feeling that I might bite my tongue off any second now.
With that incredible power they showed now, in a generic quarrel between each other, all of that looked as a bad joke.

Ootake: Both of you, step back. There is no meaning in any more bloodshred here.
Sukuna: Yo. You’re late, you know.
Tokoyo: What is your intention, suddenly coming out now?
Momiji: That’s fine already, isn’t it. Any further discussion is useless.
Momiji: Everyone, leave this place to me.
Tokoyo: …
Momiji: You also, close Taikyoku already. You know what can came out of such provocation, right?
Numahime: That’s right. Just because you opened it, it’s already hard to breath there.

It sounds unreasonable, but if I’m right, Sukuna’s power also affecting those Tenma.
But even if their powers are sealed, the pressure is still horrible. Those fellows, are all without any exceptions, are monsters.

Sukuna: Oh, is that so? For me it’s quite comfortable.
Numahime: For someone as frigid as you, it’s the same everywhere. So, come on, close it already.
Sukuna: Alright, alright. You, sister, are gentle, but your nagging is a bit too much.
Akuro: [Machina, why you have stopped us?]
Akuro: [I can underatand Malleus and others, but why you would do such thing?]
Akuro: [Answer me, Machina. Even against your death, I won’t stop, and you know it.]
Ootake: Instead of asking me, look around.
Akuro: What?...
Ootake: He comes.


What?

Momiji: No way...
Sukuna: Ha-ha-ha-ha! You really came, as expected of an idiot. Looking good.
Tokoyo: A-ah...no way...in such place…

What is this? What is this crushing feeling?
No, it’s not that gentle. Reminding of the overflowing miasma, insanely strong and dark feeling. It’s like we were surrounded by the deadly poison.
This one is absolutely different from the seven others. Literally isolated from everything else.
So, that means that this thing is… no, he is…

Yato: Stop that already. It’s unbearable to watch.

Leader of Edo, Commander of Yatsukahagi — this is, without any mistake, Tenma Yato.

Tokoyo: [Fuji-kun… this… why did you came out?]
Momiji: You’re not in a state to do such thing!
Morei: Even just as a shadow, this is too much. I beg you, please, go back.
Yato: Those things does not matter at all.
Yato: It’s not about me, but about you. It’s disappointing, such fight between allies.
Yato: [Or do you want to open Swastika here, in this city, in this place, Shirou?]
Yato: This hobby of yours is bad. I can’t sleep because of it.
Sukuna: Yeah, yeah, I know. Come on, don’t look at me like that.
Sukuna: I am just trying to do the thing that you could not do… eh, whatever, annoying.
Sukuna: So, somehow it seems like today you can really think straight. What happened?
Yato: I said alreay. It doesn’t matter.
Yato: If you care about me so much, don’t bother other people. I am the only one you can pull your pranks on.
Sukuna: A-ah, well, may be that’s right. But you know, I think those guys think like the same as you.
Sukuna: In other words, it’s like the way of showing affection.
Sukuna: That’s why I think they understood it as well. As for me, I’m already done with that fight.
Yato: …
Sukuna: Come on, believe me.
Yato: Well, I underatand that even without you telling me.
Yato: So that’s it. You all are fine with it too, right?
Ootake: I agreed with it from the very beginning.
Momiji: So am I. More importantly, do not push yourself any more.
Sukuna: Hey, you two, you heard it, right? Do something about that already, my hands are starting to hurt.
Akuro: [Understood. I will step back. Kei, you also.]
Morei: [Alright. But, Yusa-kun, remember that you were the one who’ve started it.]
Momiji: [Rea, you also. I understand you feelings, but like that Fuji-kun cannot go back.]
Tokoyo: ...I understand.
Sukuna: And so, in the end, we all were good friends. The end.
Sukuna: Well, anyway, general, you came through such difficulties, so say something to them already.

Following Sukuna’s suggestion, Yato lowered his gaze on us.
Just from that, the heavy pressure from before became even more intense. Cannot see the bottom of his strength. Just like human cannot comprehand the size of the universe, in our eyes Yato looked like a different universe in the shape of a human.

Yato: Yes…
Yato: Of course, that’s also why I came here.
Yato: Hajun’s cells, huh. How ironic.
Yato: You — get out of here, right now.
Yato: This is not the place for you to trample down.

Ha. Not a nice way to say “go away”.
It’s really annoying to hear that, especially when it said as an order of a commander.
Everyone of them, until the very end, underestimates us.

Yato: If you want to settle the scores with us, come to Ezo. Straight to the north, there’s a great island.
Yato: Until then, I promise to not get in your way.

At that moment, Rindou who stood besides me, stepped forward.

Rindou: Can I believe you?

Yato: Of course.
Yato: That is, if you will be able to escape from there.

At that moment, he used his power.
A surge of power rised, twisting and crushing to pieces, freezing things in one place.
Not only us, everything around seemed to feel his distortion spreading.

Yakou: Ryuusui, tell everyone to escape from the port right now.

Yakou adressed Ryuusui and us in a sharp and loud voice, unusual for him.

Ryuusui: B-but, Yakou-sama, all the ways to escape were sealed…
Yakou: This manta has already been lifted. But this sealing is not normal. This is the freezing wind that stops even stars.
Yakou: Once you are caught in it, you cannot escape forever.
Ryuusui: No way, such technique…! Rindou-sama, please call Habaki and others there.
Rindou: Understood. Ryuusui, you go find Sakuya. I leave everything else to you, Yakou.
Ryuusui: Yes!
Habaki: That’s real bad, everyone! Faster, let’s get out of there!

With that, I moved closer to the place protected by Yakou’s and Ryuumei’s techniques.
Can we escape? No, we have to escape. Something was telling me that otherwise the fate awating us was worse than death.
Ryuumei: Alright, we’re retiring. If we’re swallowed by it, everything is over.
Keishirou: Tch…

But when I looked at the harbor from which we came there, I’ve seen that the Eastern fleet has already left and was in the ocean.

Habaki: Hey, hey, hey, those ships, they have already left!
Shiori: What?!
Soujirou: Oh, that’s how it is. Yes, he is a smart person for sure.

Nakanoin, who was there before, have already run away.

Habaki: The hell are you saying, that bastart…
Rindou: All of you, don’t stop, faster, run!
Habaki: But the ships have already left. Is there one left somewhere?
Ryuumei: It’s fine. Just for a few people who’s there, it won’t take long to prepare a ship.

As expected of Ryuumei. Only now she’s dependable.
Even though she is still suspicious, she is still better than this bastard Nakanoin. Well, of course, I believed her from the start. Yes.

Rindou: We can’t lose the main forse. Faster, join with Yakou and run to the port!
Habaki: Alright!

Space and time have been frozed.
Looking at that from afar, Nakanoin Reizen felt something.
All the creation, freezing, stopping breating. With the pulsation completely disappearing, this view will be lost…

Reizen: So that’s it. That is me. This is the reason why I was born.

He felt something.

Reizen: I feel like I’m being guided somewhere, but I will walk my own path.
Reizen: Ha-ha-ha. This Eastern Expedition, I would not let it succeed by any means.

Halt, o time, halt, o time — embracing the remnants of the beautiful twilight.

Yato: This might be the last time…
Yato: This is probably, my last time of seeing this town like that.
Yato: If, somehow, there would be a new world…
Yato: I want to laught again, like back in those days.
Yato: [Good night, Marie.]
