Yami no Matsuei

NAGASAKI ARC part 1.

In Meifu, the land of the dead,
there is an bureaucratic organization
that is in charge of judging the dead
of their past deeds.
The Ju-Oh-Cho.
JuOhCho - Ten King Department
Enma-Cho is the Summoning Division...
that assists the Ju-Oh-Cho,
...by gathering the lost souls of today.
Those who work in the
Enma-Cho Summoning Division
...are otherwise known as Shinigami.
Shinigami - Gods of Death


In the depths of damp eyes,
the blue moon silently falls in pieces...
The bright world...
...vanishes into darkness without a sound.
Running around in darkness
during the countdown...
Approaching the new era...
Injured black wings, in the light of the moon,
glimmer beautifully as they soar...
A crimsom kiss has discovered
its way into the depths of my soul...
...and into my dream.

Episode One - Nagasaki Part I

Gushoushin: These are the victims of the serial killings in Nagasaki.

Watari: How awful.

Gushoushin: All of the victims have a scar on their necks that looks like... ...sharp fang marks, and the blood in their body is gone!

Tatsumi: Like a vampire...

Watari: What an unscientific case.

Tatsumi: We were assigned this case because it was beyond human intelligence. That's how it is.

Chief: Tsuzuki, head to Nagasaki immediately...what? Hmm? Tsuzuki!

[Tsuzuki - Keeping Watch.]

Chief: Keeping watch?

Tsuzuki: Late... Maybe they sold out...

Wakaba: Here, sorry to keep you waiting!

Tsuzuki: Great! The smell of this caramel cream is great! Thank you, Wakaba.

Wakaba: You really like sweet stuff, Tsuzuki.

Tsuzuki: "Dessert after the three meals" is my motto.

Wakaba: Oh no! It's already this late... lunch break is over.

Tsuzuki: What?

Chief: So this is the cinnamon roll you went to earth and bought, forgetting about the investigation meeting. It looks good.

Tsuzuki: Please give it back, chief...

Chief: Here!

Tsuzuki: Watari!

Watari: It smells good...here!

Tsuzuki: Gushoushin!

Gushoushin: It looks delicious...there!

Tsuzuki: Ta...Tatsumi...

Tatsumi: It's cruel to be so mean to him.

Tsuzuki: Ta...Tatsumi! Thank...

Tatsumi: Now, let's have it together.

Tsuzuki: It's gotten so small...

Everyone: That was good.

Chief: Well now...let's get down to business. Tsuzuki, fly to Nagasaki immediately.

Tsuzuki: What?

Chief: You don't have to if you don't want to... you seventy year term no good worker!

Tsuzuki: I'll go happily... So, what do I need to investigate, boss?

Chief: The task of the Summoning Branch is to find the reason why a person lives... even though his life span is over, and to guide them. Lately, the number of people on the death list is oddly high.

Tsuzuki: Aren't we suppose to be checking the number of deaths in a day?

Chief: That's right. When a person dies according to the life span list at the House of Candles, they come here, to Meifu. But, what the Ten King Department can keep track of are only the people who die normally. Murders and accidents caused by third person aren't known until they are listed on the death list.

Tsuzuki: What you're saying is that the numbers of those kind of unknown deaths are increasing.

Chief: Exactly. And Tsuzuki, it's only happening in Nagasaki, the area that you are responsible for.

Tsuzuki: I understand. Oh yeah, what about my partner?

Chief: That has been finally decided.He'll meet you later in Nagasaki, so go ahead. Until then, Gushoushin will accompany you.

Gushoushin: Pleasure to meet you.

Chief: Ask him for further details. Wait, Tsuzuki. Here.

Tsuzuki: Is it an allowance!?

Chief: If you're staying in Nagasaki, it's for pound cake. Go buy me some for me.

[A Good Child's Spending Book]
Tatsumi: Don't forget this. I won't allow unnecessary spending. Please have your food cost
to be thirty dollars a day.

Tsuzuki: But then dessert!

Tatsumi: Rules are rules.

Chief: Have a nice trip.

Watari: Don't get sick.


Count: Welcome.

Chief: Thank you.

Count: This fruity smell... Watason, today's tea is Darjeeling Fast Flush.

Watson: Yes it is, Hakushaku-sama.
[Hakushaku = Count]

Count: It's delicious.

Chief: I hope it goes well this time.

Count: Hopefully. People change by encounters.

Chief: Yes. Even Tsuzuki... he will also.


Gushoushin: It's an odd case.

Tsuzuki:: Yes. The sharp fang-like scars on the neck and the loss of blood... Because of that, this case is being called the "Vampire Case".

Gushoushin: Vampire...

Tsuzuki: Well, maybe we'll go get something to eat before my partner comes.

Gushoushin: Stop messing around, Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki: Wow, are you all right? Lipstick...?

Gushoushin: Tsuzuki!

Tsuzuki: That girl! It's not lipstick...this is the victim's blood!

Gushoushin: Tsuzuki!
------------------------------------------------------
Tsuzuki: Excuse me...was there a...

Muraki: How embarrassing.

Tsuzuki: Not at all.

Muraki: Is there something you wanted to ask?

Tsuzuki: Uh...oh... Did a girl come here? With long hair?


Muraki: No, I haven't seen anyone.

Tsuzuki: Oh, I see... Thank you.
-------------------------------------------------------
Tsuzuki: Where...where is she?

Hisoka: Don't move.

Tsuzuki: Aren't you mistaking me for someone?

Hisoka: Holding your hands up, slowly turn around.

Tsuzuki: What, a kid?

Hisoka: To be caught by a kid like me, you must be really careless.

Tsuzuki: Wha......what!? Why does he know what I thought?

Hisoka: I don't do anything like garlic and crosses... just one shot of the heart with this, Mister Vampire.

Tsuzuki: Vampire? Who?

Hisoka: Don't fool around. I watched you wander around here for a while.

Tsuzuki: Him...who is this boy? I can't fly in public...it's dangerous to use spells.

Hisoka: Give up, this is the end.

Gushoushin: Wait a minute!What are you doing!?

Tsuzuki: I didn't do anything! He started it!

Hisoka: Shut up, vampire.

Tsuzuki: I'm saying that I'm not a vampire!

Gushoushin: Thi...this is him, your new partner!

Tsuzuki: Huh?
Hisoka: Huh?

Gushoushin: Now, cheers to the meeting of the pair!

Tsuzuki: Cheers!

Gushoushin: Tsuzuki, smile, smile.

Tsuzuki: Hello, I'm the one who takes care of the Kyuushuu area, Tsuzuki.

Hisoka: Hisoka Kurosaki.

Tsuzuki: What is it with this boy's attitude?

Gushoushin: He was chosen by the Kanoe Chief himself, and seems to have a high level of spiritual energy.

Tsuzuki: That's why you can read my mind. By the way, how old are you?

Hisoka: Sixteen.

Tsuzuki: Sixteen!? You really died at a young age. Was it a traffic accident?

Gushoushin: Tsu...Tsuzuki...

Hisoka: I died of a disease. An incurable disease, as they say.

Tsuzuki: Oh...I'm sorry.

Hisoka: Whatever. Now, it's my turn to ask questions. You're the number one career guy at the Enma Department, right? Why is an elite like that a Shinigami?

Tsuzuki: Elite...? Me?

Gushoushin: Tsuzuki, an elite?! He's one of the laziest, and is called the extra space taker of the Enma Department!

Hisoka: Bu...but Konoe Chief said...

Gushoushin: I get it...just because you don't know anything...

Hisoka: Wha...what do you mean?

Gushoushin: The rule for Shinigami is to travel in pairs. But...nobody wants to pair up with Tsuzuki...

Hisoka: Quit joking! I'm not about to be fooled into pairing up with a brainless man! I'm not going to take it!

Tsuzuki: This is good!

Hisoka: Stop eating and listen to me! My...dumpling ...

Tsuzuki: Huh? I thought you didn't want it...

Hisoka: Back at you!

Tsuzuki: The grudge of food is deep. Especially with me, on this matter!

Hisoka: Got it!

[Mustard]

Hisoka: Hot!

Tsuzuki: Oh...no, that's...!

Gushoushin: Oh my...
------------------------------------------------------------
Gushoushin: Come on, lay him down there, let him drink water!

Tsuzuki: All right, all right. But why do I have to do this?

Gushoushin: It's because you fought against a kid.

Tsuzuki: He looks cute if he keeps his mouth shut...

Gushoushin: Sixteen and a Shinigami...

Tsuzuki: Huh?

Gushoushin: It seems sad...

Tsuzuki: He must have his reasons. If not, he couldn't do a dirty job like a Shinigami. Maybe I was a bit immature.

Hisoka: Tsuzuki... Tsuzuki, you idiot! Don't think this is the end...

Tsuzuki: ...I take that back.

Gushoushin: How pretty!

Tsuzuki: Is it some sort of fair?

Gushoushin: It's the party before the Nagasaki Sea God Fair.

Tsuzuki: I think they're doing a live broadcast on TV.

Reporter: Right now, this is the party before the Nagasaki Sea God Fair and a fireworks show is on display. And now, the singer, who is famous even in Japan... Maria Won is here!

Maria: Good evening.

Gushoushin: She's cute!

Tsuzuki: This girl!

Gushoushin: What's the matter?

Tsuzuki: Gushoushin, can you investigate something for me?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tsuzuki: Hmm, what a fine morning. What's the matter, you seem to be in a bad mood this morning, boy.

Hisoka: Don't... call me 'boy'!

Tsuzuki: Maybe you are still too young for sake--

Hisoka: --Shut up!

Hisoka: Cold...

Tsuzuki: You'll feel better.

Hisoka: Tsuzuki...

Tsuzuki: You called me by my name for the first time.

Hisoka: Hey! It's not like I accepted you as my partner.

Tsuzuki: I don't mind!

Tsuzuki: Now, is the start of the investigation.

Hisoka: What do you have to do at a television station?

Tsuzuki: There might be a vampire here. Right, Gushoushin?

Gushoushin: Yes. Just as you suspected, the attacks in this case match with the arrival dates of Maria Won.

Hisoka: You mean, she's the one responsible for the vampire murders?

Tsuzuki: That's what we're going to go find out.

Hisoka: When did you find all that out?

Tsuzuki: While you were taking up my bed.

Gushoushin: Well then, I'll be off now. Now that the partner has arrived, I'll return to my main job at the library. Hisoka, please take care of Tsuzuki.

Tsuzuki: Come on.

Gushoushin: I'll be waiting for a returning gift!

Tsuzuki: Should we go?

Hisoka: Yeah.
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Miss Maria Won]

Tsuzuki: How is it?

Hisoka: I don't feel her presence.

Maria's stepmother: Maria! Maria, where are you? You two, what are you doing there?

Tsuzuki: Huh? Uh, well... It's like... I want an autogra...

Hisoka: Over here!

Tsuzuki: What? Hey! Do you know where she is?

Hisoka: I found out through sensing her remaining presence.

Tsuzuki: I see. Empathy.

Hisoka: Let's see...

Staff: This place is off limits! ...Miss Maria Won! Uh...um...! Get away! Um...this is...! Maria!

Hisoka: Monster!

Tsuzuki: King Dragon! Stay back. You can't handle this, boy.

Hisoka: Don't call me 'boy'!

Hisoka: Tsuzuki...

Tsuzuki: Hisoka, help him! I pray to the twelve gods who protect me, show yourself before me. Come, Suzaku!
[Suzaku is the phoenix, the fire-bird of death and rebirth.]

Tsuzuki: Fire!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsuzuki: Maria Won is dead!?
Hisoka: Maria Won is dead!?

Chief: That's right. She was listed on the death list two months ago. According to the information from China, it seemed to be suicide.

Hisoka: Then... what did we see...
------------------------------------------------------------------
Muraki: Maria, you're a good girl. If you listen to me, there is nothing to worry about... If you move as I say.

[Notice]

Of the Nagasaki serial killings...

...the suspect, Maria Won, was a vampire.
And...who is behind her?

You can't investigate on an empty stomach!
Let's eat, Hisoka.



The descendants of darkness wander in the night.
This is the street corner where I wait for you,
Folding the circle of the aluminum can into a square.
Even though the liquid inside is too warm,
I hold it helplessly...
The doll in the glass case who reflects
me here in the darkness
...has been staring at me with a frightening face.
The song I whistle is pretty bright.
A noise I offer to all the people of the world.
This melody that no one knows...
...can you hear it?
Sayonara. Love Me.
