[Minato:]I've never read it but... it's in the Nihon Shiki* isn't it? "Araburu Kami", it says... [note:]*Nihon Shoki - one of the two oldest written chronicles of Japan [Minato:]From long long ago... since before even we can remember, we've carried this bloodline... [narration:]Even long ago, it says, there were very few women among us... and so, due to close intermarriage over all this time, the blood became polluted After a time, all the girls born in this tribe were born deformed, weak or without the ability to transform... [Minato:]Humans believe that parents should raise their children... don't they? [Yuuji:]it it's not the same way here? [Minato:]My real mother had a hard time giving birth to me and died right after I was born So Ogacha and everyone in the village raised me together. They're like my parents! Now that I told you mine, you tell me your story! 092 [Yuuji:]I...I was the only son I always took my parents' wishes very seriously and tried to follow them The school I went to and even my future wife, they decided it all for me ---they chose my career too, but when I'm left to my own devices, to decide things for myself, I get scared and just freeze up. I'm a useless excuse for a human being [Minato:]Well then you don't really want to go back, do you?! Wouldn't it be better if you stayed here and had lots of children!? That's meaningful, isn't it---- You wouldn't be useless--------- 093 [Yuuji:]b-but if you don't let me go back [Minato:]why you .................. Do you have to look so pathetic when I go to hit you?! geeez, this is the first time I've met a person like you! When I was in Tokyo, I always got my way from gangsters or girls cause I destroy humans left and right! got it? if there aren't any children, this village will die out! And no matter what you are or where you come from I... 094 [Shuuji:]gyou! Mina Minatoo... [Minato:]DAAAAAAAAAMN!! I can't do it---- geeez----- Wha-what's wrong with me? This is the first time I've ever met anyone that makes my head spin this way----!! [Yuuji:]...... [sfx:]aah ah [Minato:]ok, have it your way I won't make you. But if you decide you're going to let me do it in the meantime, tell me. 095 [Minato:]Yuuji [Ogacha:]? Who's there? Jin? ? !! This smell!

When I look at him this way, he still looks like a kid... he's shorter than me... prabably not even full grown, but he didn't even scream when I pulled out the arrow 109 [Yuuji:]ha-hang in there!! where... is this place? [Minato:]In the Jomon Period... our anscestors used these caves... this tunnel leads to what... must have been an exhibition hall [Yuuji:]so it's just kind of like a prehistorical subway tunnel? [Minato:]I don't really know what we were then... if we were gods or not... 110 [man:]Don't move! Your village has been wiped out!! You're the last!! [Yuuji:]He's hurt!! Won't you help him?!

Mission accomplished. 1 target is missing, 5 have been positively IDed as dead... We're bringing in the bodies for dissection [man:]Maya Why did you kill the old woman? it's because of you the plan went off course She was going to pounce on me... it couldn't be helped 114 [man:]But the main point of the mission was to find the female, and she got away along with Asaba Minato... Though I guess they're probably dead from their wounds by now [Maya:]Oh no, big bother, they're alive, those two I know it No matter how my prey runs, I'll be right there on their heels I'll enjoy hunting them down and tearing them to pieces [man:]I think you should have been born a man really 115 [guy:]What's that? A mountain fire!? nah, too much smoke, someone must be burning grass though... that far into the mountains you'd think it would spread I guess they don't know anything about real excavation methods, do they? And I've been itching to visit this place since I heard about it in archeology class [Yuuji:]? this is... [Minato:]it's the exit!! si--since you've already returned to normal I'm a little nervous... we should be careful!! [Minato:]tch... smells like humans...
