[k] @Nobbu From what I saw, it looked like the magical energy surrounding Rikyu... [k] @Nobbu ...was right up there with some of the nastiest stuff we've ever seen. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo And that was still only the beginning. If the Ancestral Beast were to resurrect with its original form and power... [k] @Iyo ...it would bind this world and the next together, then plunge them both into pure darkness. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 15] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu A literal dark world, huh? That seems right up Rikyu's alley. Black always was his favorite color.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Yamanami Keisuke I'm afraid not. I didn't even know that Kukochihiko and Lady Rikyu were in cahoots... [k] [charaFace E 26] @Yamanami Keisuke That said, this may sound strange, but... [k] @Yamanami Keisuke ...I kind of got the sense Kukochihiko's heart wasn't in it somehow. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 16] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu What do you mean? He betrayed Mitsunari, and he was all set to sacrifice Iyo and Monkey's kid!

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji Sorry to change the subject, but what happened to you, Alter Me? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter It's kind of a long story. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Rengoku Alter Basically, Wielder won't be able to move for a while, and since it was an emergency, I took temporary control of her body. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji Oh. [k] [charaFace C 2] @Okita Souji Okay, I get it, but it's still super weird hearing your voice come out of Alter Me's mouth! [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 7] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter It's a good thing I made the mechanisms I needed to operate on my own back when Wielder and I were split up. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu Oh, you mean that one summer? Never can know what might come in handy later, huh? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter It was still way too close, though. The sword of beasts or whatnot did a lot of damage incredibly quickly... [k] [charaFace B 4] @Rengoku Alter ...so I disconnected Wielder's consciousness for a while, locked it away, and shut down her body. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Rengoku Alter Then, as her sword, I sort of hacked my way inside and rebooted it. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Saito Hajime I'm not even going to pretend I understood that, but if you're saying Okita Alter's okay, that's good enough for me. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 9] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter She is, for now. But unless we do something about the root cause, I don't think she'll ever recover from the wound the sword of beasts inflicted on her. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.5] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu And by root cause, you mean that darkness, right? What exactly is that stuff, anyway? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo It's the Ancestral Beast's black blood... Pure, concentrated dead souls. [k] @Iyo Essentially,[bgm BGM_EVENT_79 0.1] it's the very concept of tainted death. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji So is that what's in the air all throughout this Singularity then? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter Yup. I've been analyzing it this whole time, and while the density may be different, it's otherwise identical. [k] @Rengoku Alter Which means it's coming from the Ancestral Beast. [k] [charaFace B 8] @Rengoku Alter I swear, I turn around for one second and you're caught up in another world-ending threat. How do you people do that? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu This thing was your homeland's god, right, Queenie Two? Any ideas for what we can do? [k] @Nobbu Honestly, I'm amazed your old country lasted as long as it did, worshiping something like that. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo The Ancestral Beast is a heretic god whose name had become taboo, even in Kunakoku. [k] @Iyo I heard the founder of Kunakoku managed to seal it away a long time ago, though. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 16] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu How? They use some kinda legendary ultimate technique or something? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 11] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo According to legend, the sword of beasts and shrine maiden of ruin sealed it away. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 9] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji The sword of beasts... That's the sword Kukochihiko uses. [k] @Okita Souji And you're the shrine maiden of ruin? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo Yes. At least, that's what they called me... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu Welp, so much for that. The enemy's got the sword, and the shrine maiden's not much help. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo Very true... [k] @Iyo Why did Lady Himiko have to rescue me of all people? If only she was here now, then[line 2] [k] ?1:She knew what she was doing. ?2:Lady Himiko trusted this to you for a reason. ?! [charaFace F 8] @Iyo Future... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 11] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu “The rest is up to you,” she said? I've heard that somewhere before. [k] [charaFace A 16] @Nobbu Well, anyway, what are you going to do now, Queenie Two? Are you going to mope while everything gets ruined, even though you're the shrine maiden of ruin? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 10] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo ...No. [k] @Iyo I don't know why Lady Himiko entrusted this matter to me, but I'm her successor, so I'll do everything I can to resolve it! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 17] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu Good. So now that we're on the same page, how do we go about doing that? Anyone got any specific ideas? [k] [charaFace A 15] @Nobbu Can't win a war on spirit alone. You need to plan, or everything goes right to hell. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Nobbu How about the man-slayers club? Any special Bakumatsu-era Noble Phantasms that can turn this thing around for us? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Saito Hajime Yeah...not on this scale. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Yamanami Keisuke Our swordplay can only do so much against a monster from the Age of Gods...

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Rengoku Alter Remember, we're dealing with the incarnation of the concept of tainted death; it's all the taboos that show up after someone dies. [k] [charaFace B 3] @Rengoku Alter Not the kind of problem we can just stab and call it a day. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 4] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo Exactly. If there was at least something we could do about that black blood... [k] @Iyo ...then we might conceivably be able to seal away the Ancestral Beast itself, but... [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_79 1.5] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 15] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu ...Well, I'm stuck. I have no idea where we go from here.

[k] [charaFace A 11] @Nobbu Mmm, I could get used to this. I'll give Mitsunari one thing: he knows his way around a teapot. [k] [charaFace A 16] ?2:Why don't we change gears for now and have some tea? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_77 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 15] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji I mean, we kind of have to drink it just to move around here, so...

[k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 16] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ?! @Nobbu Hm? Tea... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Souji What is it, Nobbu? We don't have a lot left, so please don't try for seconds. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 16] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Nobbu No, no, I'm talking about THIS tea. [k] [charaFace A 11] @Nobbu Remember what Rikyu told us? The tea counteracts the poison in the air. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 8] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Iyo So...does that mean it could also have the power to counteract the black blood?

There has been no end of war, both in our time and this one. [k] @Kukochihiko And with war comes dead souls. Lots of dead souls. [k] [charaFace K 2] @Kukochihiko That's why I had to wake it up now, by force if necessary, so I could destroy it while I still had the chance. [k] @Kukochihiko That is why the sword of beasts revived along with me, and came to this land by my side. [k] [charaFace J 7] @Sen-no-Rikyu I see. So you mean to assume responsibility for all these sins yourself, and take the Ancestral Beast down with you? [k] @Kukochihiko I feel bad for what I did to Mitsunari, but I will feel no such guilt when I cut you down, Rikyu. [k] [charaFace K 5] @Kukochihiko You're just as I once was: a philistine bent on covering the world in darkness to satisfy your own selfish desires! [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu My, my. Quite the bark you have, for a mere mongrel pup. [k] [charaFace J 11] @Sen-no-Rikyu Did you really believe I couldn't see through your little deception, though? [k] @Kukochihiko I know you did, and it doesn't matter. I'm still going to take you and the Ancestral Beast down with me! [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu Hehehe, but as they say, only wicked persons have the opportunity to ascend to heaven. And you, Kukochihiko, are no person. [k] [charaFace K 2] @Kukochihiko It's time for you to die, Rikyu. Don't worry. I'll guide you down the path to hell myself. [k] [charaFace J 25] @Sen-no-Rikyu How very considerate of you.

[k] [charaFace K 6] [charaShake K 0.1 1 1 0.5] @Kukochihiko My sword... It won't move! [k] [charaFace J 0] @Sen-no-Rikyu Indeed. As the sword of beasts[bgm BGM_EVENT_127 0.1] is the Ancestral[sr]Beast's only weakness, it was the last loose end I needed to tie up. [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu To do so, I needed to deprive you of it. [k] @Kukochihiko So you mean to absorb it into your own body!? [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu Lord Kukochihiko, no matter how heroic you may have been in your youth, you and Lady Himiko are both from an older, simpler time. [k] [charaFace J 13] @Sen-no-Rikyu Bluntly, you're both too pure of heart for your own good. [k] [charaFace J 9] @Sen-no-Rikyu And that is why you could never hope to match the sheer, unadulterated malice of humans who have endured horror after bloody horror in endless war. [k] @Kukochihiko Ghh! I can't believe it. After coming this far...! [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu Indeed. In the end, a mere beast's knowledge is powerless in the face of human hatred.

[k] [charaFace J 25] @Sen-no-Rikyu ...I will still do all I possibly can to make sure it is one for the ages. [k] @Sen-no-Rikyu Indeed, this tea ceremony will mark nothing less...
