(sound of train)
Shuu: "Ryo, cheer up. Your father must be O.K. Maybe he just hid in a safe place (so that he didn't come back)."
Ryo: "Sorry that I caused you so much trouble, Shuu, at the special time you came visiting me."
Shuu: "Don't talk silly. Mind not such thing. AAAHHH, I'M HUNGRY. RYO, WE CAME IN A HURRY AND DIDN'T EAT THE BREAKFAST, DID WE? OOH, THERE IS THE ONEE-SAN (literally means elder sister. Could be used to address informally of any elder female in the same generation) OF THE TRAIN SERVICE (In Japan, there are service cart selling meals, drinks, in almost every long-distance train) Wait for me, Ryo. I'll buy the lunch back. EXCUSE MEEE" (Shuu running)
"(talking in a distance) well, this....this.....and this...., and I want two cans of tea. Onee-san, you have big breasts (*laugh*)"
(Shuu runs back)"The frozen orange has sold out. Anyway, let's eat, Ryo. There is a saying 'You can't fight when you feel hungry.'(eating.) This is pretty delicious. Eat! Ryo! Aah, a grain of rice jumps to there (*laugh*) Sorry, sorry. (Keep eating)"
Ryo: "Thank you, Shuu."
Shuu: "I don't know other ways to cheer you up. Maybe it's mere a consolation, but I think that there won't be anything bad happened to your father. Why? Because he's father of Rekka no Ryo.'"
Ryo: "hmm"
Shuu: "Anyway. Take a nap after eating. You didn't sleep much last night, did you? I'll wake you up when we get there."
Ryo: "Thank you. I'll do as you said."

(sound of a book falling on ground)
Shin: "shush, Touma! You shouldn't make big noises here. It's a library."
Touma: "Sorry. I can't get rid of the habit I developed in Nasti's place."
Shin: "Do you find something?"
Touma: "Yes. This one looks pretty interesting."
Shin: "Let me see. Yes. This is the one I read."
Touma: "But this is not about a fox. An Onmyoushi ('Onmyoushi'-a shaman with special power) who was born in the Capital City (the current Kyoto) escaped to the Northeast (where Miyagi Province is ) because the bad things he had done in the Capital. He then did bad things to the village residents in Northeast."
Shin: "did bad things...and?"
Touma: "There stories are similar. Then he's sealed by a famous monk. (Sigh) Too bad that we can only find about so much. Let's look for another while. If we can't find anything new we'll move to another place."
Shin: "O.K."

(sound of crows)
Shuu: "(panting)This...mountain....is...pretty...difficult..."
Ryo: "And there are places crumbles and falls off."
Shuu: "But the local police said that no one was found died or hurt."
Ryo: "Where did Dad go?"
Shuu: "Hey, Ryo! Look at that!"
Ryo: "A (small) shrine? In such a place?"
Shuu: "All the other things were burned, but the shrine stays unharmed. Why?"
Ryo: "Let's go and take a look."
(running)
Ryo: "Something is inside there....it looks like a stone. And....Hey, someone lays on the ground. Are you O.K.?....???Dad?"
Shuu: "WHAT!! Your Dad?"
Ryo: "Dad! Dad! Wake up!"
Ryo's father: "Who are you?"
Ryo: "It's me, Ryo! I hurried coming here when I heard that you're involved in the mountain fire."
Ryo's father: "Ryo? Never heard."
Ryo: "Dad?"
Shuu: "Anyway, Ryo. Let's take your dad out from the mountain for the mean time."
Ryo: "Yes."
Ryo's father: "I'm not getting out of this mountain."
Ryo: "Dad??"
Shuu: "?Why did he say that? Dad-san?("Oyaji-san", Oyaji means father, a informal way to address someone else's father)"
Ryo: "I have no idea either. But Dad appears somewhat different than usual."
Ryo's father: "I'm....I'm (groaning) ESCAPE...."
Ryo: "Dad!"
Shuu: "What's really happening?"
Ryo's father: "Es....escape! Ryo!"
Ryo: "It's Dad! Dad! What's wrong?!"
