| --Maki had a dream. | ||
| She found herself sitting alone in the halls of Kijinga Castle, clutching her knees. A world where no one ever visits, where the silence has been eroded. | ||
| I cannot leave the castle.
Because if I leave, a vicious curse will swallow the mountain whole.
And because I am the last one, there is no one to take my place. |
||
| If there was a prison called eternity, it would probably be like this. With a head that can no longer think much, Maki thought like this. | ||
| Suddenly, a tear spilled out. She tried not to think about it. Even if she resolves to protect the castle, this freezing loneliness will not disappear. | ||
| Anyone please warm me.
Father, mother, anyone, please warm me up.
If that can't be done, let me sleep a sleep I can't wake up from. |
||
| Maki continued her endless sadness day after day without learning her lesson. But today was different. She had reached her limit. She almost didn't know who she was anymore. | ||
| And then, were tremors so strong that it enveloped the castle, became a heartbeat that Maki would never forget for the rest of her life, and was strongly etched in her mind. | ||
Shimoamazu the First.
The heroine who brought me out of prison.
My beloved Shishou. |
||
I will repay you with my whole life.
And if by any chance I have to experience eternity once more, this time I will devote all of that time to you--. |

| Maki |
"Ngh..." | |
|---|---|---|
 Maki |
"Huh, when did Maki fall asleep...?" | |
| Maki |
"Shi-chan? Yoshino? Conductor?" | |
| Maki |
"Nowhere to be found. And this place... inside Ooenomiya-sama's mansion, Shishou's room?" | |
| Maki |
"No memory. Stopped just before leaving the otherworld realm. Did Shishou carry me here?" | |
 Shimoamazu I |
"Correct! Maki fainted. Everyone in panic!" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou!" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou, Maki said would close the different spaces myself. But couldn't do it. My apologies." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"No problem! Maki did a great job! Shishou is saved. Saved by Maki's help!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Shishou realised. Maki is needed in Iwato. The best deshi!" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou..." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"So Maki retire from the SSS and return to Iwato. Shishou's wish!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Maki also wanted. To live with Shishou. This time in the same Iwato. The two of us together!" | |
| Maki |
"Living with Shishou together... What lovely words." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Of course, of course, Maki and Shishou together! Kya, Kya♪" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"...Maki, where are you getting up and leaving to?" | |
| Maki |
"To Shishou's place." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Shishou is here, Maki's jokes are funny!" | |
| Maki |
"Well. Maki is not funny at all." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Rude. The way you talk to Shishou." | |
| Maki |
"Maki never speaks rudely to my Shishou. But it's another matter if it's not to Shishou." | |
| Shimoamazu I? |
"Cannot understand. Maki, please say it plainly!" | |
| Maki |
"You are not my Shishou. That's what me meant." | |
| Maki |
"My Shishou said this when he saved Maki. 'From today onwards, Maki is my apprentice. But we will not live together. Live alone in a place of your choice, and be strong with the help of your family and friends.'" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou never changed her own words. As long as she says she will not live with me, there is no way she will call me to Iwato." | |
| Maki |
"And all along, she told Maki to think and act for myself. So there is no way that Shishou would have told Maki to quit the SSS, that myself decided to join." | |
| Shimoamazu I? |
"That was explained earlier; Reconsidered that Maki was needed in Iwato. So Maki is coming back!" | |
| Maki |
"Rejected. Shi-chan also said this. If there is a culprit in the mansion, then Shishou's room is the most suspicious." | |
| Maki |
"This is exactly what is happening now, Maki trusts Shi-chan as much as my Shishou. You can no longer deceive Maki." | |
| Shimoamazu I? |
"This is Shishou's wish. No, an order! If you don't listen, you will be excommunicated!" | |
| Maki |
"Enough of this, shut up. Maki will not allow you to speak further using my Shishou's face and voice." | |
| Maki |
"So show yourself quickly, Sounankai!!" | |
| --......Ki! Maki! Snap of it! | ||
| Maki |
"...Huh, Shi-chan?" | |
 Shimoamazu |
"Thank goodness, I was scared out of my wits when you didn't wake up." | |
| Maki |
"This is... the peak of Mt. Ooe." | |
 Yoshino |
"Maki, you've been having nightmares. Did you have a bad dream?" | |
| Maki |
"That's right, Maki had the worst dream of her life. Shishou was not Shishou--" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou. Where is my Shishou!?" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Maki called me! Request on demand! Shishou has appeared!" | |
| Maki |
"Shishou...!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"The situation is understood, Sounankai, reappeared. Hence Maki in nightmare." | |
| Shimoamazu |
"It seems that at the moment my haha sealed it with her counting curse, Sounankai used its last ounce of power to invisibly dismember part of its body and reattach to Maki's body." | |
| Shimoamazu |
"To make matters worse, he separate all of us to various places in Mt. Ooe, and it seems that Sounankai took advantage of the chaos and tried to escape." | |
| Yoshino |
"But Haha Amazu came to our rescue in order of proximity, Maki being the last. Everyone else is safe." | |
| Maki |
"Understand the situation. Maki is relieved that everyone is safe." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Overcoming the nightmare on your own, that's what I'd expect from you. You are a true deshi. As Shimoamazu the First, I am delighted!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Now then, the Sounankai inside Maki, I'm going to kick it out." | |
| Shimoamazu the First lightly tapped Maki on her chest. | ||
| Then, Sounankai came rolling out of Maki's body onto the ground, peeling off from Maki's body. | ||
| Shimoamazu I |
"This time it is sealed. Those that attacking ones I hold dear. Haha will not forgive." | |
 Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Tch, I couldn't escape... But I was able to get out of that otherworld realm, I will escape!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Observed that it learned counting curses and nullified them, and regained most of its body." | |
| Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"Exactly! Thanks to that, should I get through this moment, I'll be free and in five pieces!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Still futile. Futile footsteps. The counting curse still remained from 'One'. Prepare yourself." | |
| Maki |
"Wait, Shishou!" | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"...Maki." | |
| Maki |
"Shishou, please, let Maki do it...!" | |
| Maki |
"Today the task was going to help Shishou but saved instead. Maki is unworthy as your deshi. So wish for one more time. Opportunity." | |
| Maki |
"Of course understand. It is one who overcomes even counting curse 'Four'. Normally, Maki has no chance to win. But Maki thought of a plan. A strategy that can win if we do it together." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"...Good eyes." | |
| Maki |
"Shishou..." | |
| Shimoamazu I |
"Yes! Shishou will leave it to deshi. Throw it all away! We will all defeat him this time. Looking forward to it." | |
| Shimoamazu |
"That's great, Maki, convincing Shimoamazu the First." | |
| Yoshino |
"Can see that Maki is full of confidence. Then, tell Yoshino your plan." | |
| Maki |
"Appreciated. Thank you Shi-chan and Yoshino." | |
| Maki, Shimoamazu and Yoshino butt heads and discussed their ideas. | ||
| And I, while watching the scene, was also pulled into the discussion. | ||
| Maki |
"...That's the strategy. Conductor is the heart of the plan." | |
| Conductor |
I see, I'm in charge. | |
| Shimoamazu |
"Then, as arranged." | |
| Shimoamazu |
"Sorry to keep you waiting. You could have run away, you know?" | |
| Ikai Youkai · Sounankai |
"I don't expect to escape from the First here. The moment I escape is when I have learnt everything. You are just a prelude to that!" | |
| Maki |
"You will not learn this time. You will not learn." | |
| Maki |
"Because Maki and my friends will win." | |
