- Toki: ...So this is Ueno?
- Bonten: Sort of.
- Bonten: It's not like there's a clear boundary
- Bonten: Between the demon paths and reality.
- [Toki: Whoa, this is pretty freaky.]
- [Tsuyukusa: (no idea what he's saying there, it's too cut off)]
- Bonten: So whenever you enter or leave,
- Bonten: Reality and the spirit world tend to melt together.
- Bonten: Hm, it's hard to tell exactly where we are...
- SFX: [*rustle*]
- 71
- Toki: Oh!
- Bonten: Well, I guess we're back.
- Bonten: Come on.
- Bonten: THis way.
- SFX: [*rustle*]
- Toki: Really?
- Toki: I know this is Ueno, but...
- Toki: [Something doesn't feel right...]
- Toki: [I wonder if it's still being affected by the demon world.
- 72
- TOki: [It feels like...]
- SFX: [*rustle*]
- Hashita: Oi!!
- Hashita: [*Hey!*]
- Hashita: Toki!!
- Tsuyukusa: Oh...
- Tsuyukusa: You really came back...
- Toki: [We're somehow on the border between Amatsuki and my world...]
- 73
- Toki: Tsuyukusa!!
- Toki: Hashita-san!!
- SFX: [*gasp*]
- Toki: Tsuyukusa, you got so big!!
- SFX: [*hug*]
- SFX: [*waaaaah!*]
- Toki: I'm crying so hard that I can't see...
- SFX: [*wibble*]
- Tsuyukusa: Shut up!
- SFX: [*twitch*]
- Tsuyukusa: [What the hell are you doing!?]
- Susutake: Hey, the bird and the brat are here, too?
- SFX: [*rustle rustle*]
- Toki: Yeah, we're over here!!
- 74
- SFX: [*gasp*]
- Hashita: .....
- Hashita: fufu...
- 75
- Hashita: Bwahahahaha!!
- Toki: [*huh?*]
- Toki: Hashita-san?
- Toki: What are you doing?
- SFX: [*laugh laugh*]
- Hashita: Isn't it obvious!?
- Ainezu: Hashita...
- Hashita: Well, I mean, I guess I look pretty funny too. (pffft!)
- SFX: *laugh laugh*
- Susutake: Hashita...?
- Hashita: What is it?
- Hashita: You two aren't saying anything.
- Toki: What's going on...?
- 76
- Ainezu: ......
- Ainezu: H...
- Ainezu: Hashita-san?
- Ainezu: B...
- Ainezu: But how...
- Ainezu: This can't be...
- Toki: Huh?
- 77
- Susutake: What the...
- Susutake: Wait...
- SFX: [*gasp*]
- SFX: [*cough cough*]
- Susutake: Hashita? Old man?
- Susutake: But why...
- Susutake: Are you dressed like the bird?
- Susutake: I don't...
- Susutake: What's going on?
- Susutake: ...Hashita? But how!?
- Susutake: Um...
- Hashita: Wait...
- Hashita: You guys...
- Hashita: Don't you know who I am?
- 78
- Hashita: Aonibi...
- Hashita: Wakasa...
- 79
- Ainezu: I...
- Ainezu: I know, but...
- Ainezu: I don't...
- Ainezu: Do I...
- Aizezu: Know you...?
- Susutake: Hey...
- Susutake: Time out!
- Susutake: What the hell is going on!? Why am I...?
- Toki: Hashita-san!?
- Toki: Could it be that you...
- Toki: Know these guys!?
- Hashita: Huh?
- Hashita: Yeah, of course I do!
- Hashita: They're my buddies from work!
- 80
- Hashita: They look pretty close to the way they do in real life, so I guess I'm still dreaming...
- SFX: [*wahaha*]
- Toki: Hashita-san!
- Toki: I keep telling you - this isn't a dream!!
- Toki: [You've got to trust me, okay!?]
- Hashita: Eh!?
- Hashita: What!?
- Hashita: You mean... I'm really not dreaming?
- Toki: Um...
- Hashita: But then why do I suddenly look like this?
- Hashita: How did that happen!?
- Toki: Well, uh...
- 81
- Ainezu: You know, it's terribly difficult to prove that the world you see is the "real" one...
- Ainezu: But...
- Hashita: Aonibi?
- Ainezu: Utsubushi-san...
- Ainezu: No, Hashita-san...
- Ainezu: Why...
- Ainezu: Why is it that I suddenly have memories of you?
- Ainezu: But...
- Aienzu: If all of a sudden I have knowledge that I shouldn't be able to have,
- Ainezu: Then that means this can't all be happening in my head.
- Hashita: ......
- Hashita: Oi...
- SFX: [*gulp*]
- Hashita: You...
- Toki: !?
- Ainezu: Wakasa-san,
- Ainezu: It's the same for you, right?
- Susutake: Uwah...
- Susutake: Give me a minute...
- 82
- Susutake: Ugh...!!
- Susutake: This feels just like when I play sensory immersion video games for too long...
- Susutake: [I feel sick...]
- Susutake: [My head is spinning...]
- Susutake: I don't think this is a dream...
- SFX: [*uggggggh*]
- Susutake: Holy shit, what happened to me!?
- Susutake: What the hell is going on!?
- SFX: [*shock*]
- TOki: Susutake-san...
- Toki: How do you know about video games!?
- Susutake: What is this shit, cosplay!?
- SFX: [*gasp*]
- Susutake: This is some kind of total immersion game, right!?
- 83
- Toki: .....!?
- Toki: You two...
- Toki: Are from the real world!?
- Hashita: Hey, hey...
- Hashita: Are you serious about this!?
- Ainezu: I think we can rule out the possibility that this is a dream.
- Ainzeu: There's simply too much new information content.
- Ainezu: I have memories of being "Ainezu," but I'm also aware that I'm "Aonibi."
- Ainezu: It's like they're blended together.
- Susutake: Me too, me too!
- Susutake: But I can't remember what I was doing in my last few moments as Wakasa...
- Susutake: It's like I woke up and I was suddenly Susutake!!
- 84
- Hashita: The more we're reminded of our old lives, the more memories start coming back...
- Susutake: What does it mean...!?
- Utsubushi: Hey, you guys! What's got you so worked up?
- SFX: [*flap flap*]
- Utsubushi: This isn't a good place to stop and chat!
- Utsubushi: We have to go find the priestesses...
- SFX: [*shock*]
- SUsutake: KACCHAN!!
- Utsubushi: Ah! What are you doing, Susutake!?
- Utsubushi: [Ee!?]
- SFX: [*kyaa*]
- Susutake: Kacchan, it's you!!
- Susutake: And you can talk!!
- 85
- Utsubushi: [Nooooo, let me go!!]
- Susutake: [Uwaaaah, I'm so happy!!]
- Toki: No way...
- Susutake: [I get to see my creation come to life!]
- (Note: "Kacchan" was the unofficial mascot sprite of their spy business, back in Chapter 49)
- Toki: That version of Utsubushi-san...
- Toki: Is from the real world too?
- SFX: [*shock*]
- SFX: [*staaaaare*]
- Toki: OMG, what about you guys!?
- Toki: Do you remember your other lives, too!?
- Tsuyukusa: ...What are you talking about? Are you guys...
- Tsuyukusa: Okay?
- 86
- Toki: .....!
- SFX: [*tremble*]
- Toki: What if... we're all from the world they call "Nirvana?"
- Toki: It's starting to seem possible...
- Toki: But why...? It doesn't make sense...
- Hashita: Whoa, whoa...
- Hashita: So this isn't a dream.
- Hashita: We're all really in this place.
- Hashita: So it begs the question...
- Hashita: What *is* Amatsuki?
- SFX: [*shock*]
- 87
- Ainezu: And for what purpose were we brought here?
- Ainezu: Something about that Yakou's face covering seems really familiar...
- Ainezu: The Sensai Corporation!!
- Susutake: You're right!!
- Susutake: It's the same as their logo!!
- Susutake: Back in the real world...
- Susutake: We were investigating the Sensai Corporation!!
- 88
- Ainezu: So the Yakou is wearing their logo on his face...
- Ainezu: This place must have something to do with Sensai.
- Ainezu: But while we were investigating,
- Ainezu: We never saw anything about "Amatsuki,"
- Ainezu: Or about this "Yakou."
- Ainezu: ...Unless you know something,
- SFX: [*glance*]
- Ainezu: Bonten-san?
- 89
- Ainezu: Now that I think about it,
- Ainezu: You've always seemed to avoid letting me, Utsubushi and Susutake-san all be in the same place at the same time.
- [Bonten: I guess you could call it destiny.]
- [Bonten: Hey, you two, quit fighting!]
- Ainezu: Honestly,
- Ainezu: I assumed that you disliked me.
- Ainezu: But now I wonder...
- Ainezu: Was it that you were trying to prevent something like this from happening?
- Bonten: ......
- Ainezu: ......
- Ainezu: Well, it doesn't matter.
- Ainezu: If I worry too much about your involvement in all of this, I'm probably just going to make the situation even worse.
- 90
- Ainezu: Anyhow,
- Ainzeu: I'm sure that everything will soon come to light.
- Bonten: .....
- Hizame: Ainezu...?
- Ainezu: ....
- SFX: [*wibble*]
- Ainzeu: Please forgive me.
- Ainezu: I've caused you to worry, haven't I?
- Ainezu: I promise, I'll explain everything to you soon.
- 91
- Toki: Hashita-san?
- Toki: What is the Sensai Corporation?
- Hashita: Oh!
- Hashita: Right, you wouldn't know.
- Hashita: They're a business that we were investigating...
- Toki: [Maybe somewhere in my heart...]
- Toki: [I'd started to think that the world was just a game, and I was the main character.]
- Toki: [I was always the nameless protagonist.]
- Toki: [I didn't know anything.]
- Toki: [I didn't have any bonds with other people.]
- 92
- Toki: [But...]
- Hashita: Sensai's the company that created that "Bakumatsu Interactive Exhibit" museum.
- [Teacher: A mandatory social studies field trip over your spring vacation!!]
- [SFX: [*tadaa*]]
- [Text: [Greater Edo Bakumatsu Interactive Exhibit]
- [SFX: [*slam*]]
- [Teacher: It opens tomorrow! You're invited to the Bakumatsu Interactive Exhibit!!]
- [Toki: WHAAAT!?]
- [Toki: [My spring vacation!?]]
- [Toki: What do you mean!?]
- [Toki: Waaaah!]
- [Teacher: Feel the breath of history on your skin and in your bones and in your eyes!!]
- Hashita: Have you heard of it?
- Toki: [But really... maybe I was just...]
- Toki: Yeah... I've been there.
- Toki: That...
- Toki: That was how...
- Toki: I came into this world...
- Toki: [An outsider in this world.]
