Syaoran: Then, the rooms for us to rest in are... sfx: wah, wah, wah, wah Suzuran: You can see our tenament over there. Here is the Yuukaku. When the members of our group return, they live here. Suzuran: But only girls are allowed here. Guys of course are forbidden to enter. syaoran: So...Sorry... Suzuran: No problem! To best satisfy the customers is our motto! -------------------------- Page 03 Suzuran: Once a year we come back when the Moon is at its most beautiful moment. sfx: crowd noise Suzuran: We're happy performing anywhere, but of course it feels extra special to perform here at home. sfx: crowd noise Sakura: It really looks like everyone is having fun. sfx: crowd noise sfx: crowd noise Suzuran: But... sfx: grab Suzuran: When we come back with the statue of out Guardian God, Ashura, and with the statue of God Yasha here, weird things start happening. -------------------------- Page 04 sfx: gasp Kurogane & Fai: Blood!? -------------------------- Page 05 Souseki: Every fall, when the Moon becomes pretty... Every fall, when the moon becomes pretty, the Yasha statue seems to be hurt and he will shed tears of blood. This is the time when the Suzuranichiza who reside at the Yuukaku return each year from travelling. The day that they return each year, something happens to the young generation of our tribe. Kurogane: Can the people from the Suzuranichiza cause such a big disruption? Fai: Every year...starting which year? Souseki: It was long before I inherited this temple. From the writing of the founder, my great grandfather, there already exists a record that he thought there was a relation between Suzuranichiza and Yasha's shedding of tears of blood. -------------------------- Page 06 Souseki: Ever since the travelling people, the ancestor of the "Suzuranichiza" began to reside at the current location of "Suzuranichiza" street, weird things have happened. Kurogane: Why does the statue shed tears of blood, whenever that group comes back? Souseki: My great-grandfather had a theory that it could be related to the Guardian of the Suzuranichiza, the Ashura Statue. -------------------------- Page 07 Kurogane: Ashura, isn't he also the God of War in this Country? Souseki: He is... the God who calls on war and bad luck. Souseki: Yasha is the God who manages the Dark and the Yellow River*. Ashura calls upon bad luck, putting people to the Yellow River, right? Great-grandfather and grandfather both believed that the reason the Yasha Statue shed out tears of blood to warn us that Ashura is calling upon bad luck... *Note: The "Yellow River" in many asian religions and mithologies refer to the place that leads to "Hell". -------------------------- Page 08 Man: Souseki-sama. It's time for the ceremony. Souseki: I'm going now. Souseki: I believe that there must be some reason for you guys, dimension travellers, to come to this Shrine at this prticular time. Souseki: Before you guys meet up with your friends, please stay here and rest. Kurogane: How do I say this... Fai: Ah, so you're saying... -------------------------- Page 09 Fai: This Statue, is giving out a warning by crying. Fai: I wonder if there are other reasons for this. -------------------------- Page 10 sfx: wah! Suzuran: ...This is the Statue of Ashura. -------------------------- Page 11 Sakura: So pretty... Syaoran: It must have been made by a very famous sculptor. Syaoran: When was it made? Why was it made? Ashura is a God, isn't he? Is there some special reason... sfx: haa haa -------------------------- Page 12 sfx: huh... Syaoran: So...Sorry. Sakura: Syaoran-kun is very curious! Suzuran: You like the Statue? Syaoran: Yes. Mokona: Syaoran-kun is very interested in things with archeological value and holy things. He usually examines and investigates at the same time. Sakura: I also like this Statue. It's very pretty. It doesn't seem to be causing any bad luck at all. -------------------------- Page 13 Suzuran: Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan? Syaoran & Sakura: Yes Suzuran: Yuukaku is the kind of place that will host our guest until the end, once we invite them in. So before you guys leave again to travel, this is your home. You guys can stay together with that fluffy white thing that likes to talk. Syaoran & Sakura: Thank you very much! Mokona: Wah~~! Suzuran: Your clothes aren't that suitable for this place. -------------------------- Page 14 Syaoran: Can Mokona feel the Feather yet? Mokona: (N~~) Not yet.
