F/X: Gunshots.
Running.
Youkai: ---Over there!
After him! Don't let him escape!
Sanzo: (panting) --- 'Ch... (click)

// ---This is completely
Just like back then //

(!!)
F/X: Swings.
(Gun cocks.)

Youkai: (kicked) Gak-
F/X: clunk
F/X: Gunshot.

Youkai: Just as expected of the High Priest Sanzo-houshi.
Pretty stubborn for a human, aren't ya?
Sanzo: (thinks) 5 of them---
4 shots aren't enough.
Youkai: It's high time you give up and say your prayers!!

// ... ...No--- That's not it.
The one standing here now

Is not the person I was back then. //

F/X: clunk!
F/X: Grinds.
Sanzo: ... ... Tch!
F/X: Stab of pain.
F/X: clink

Youkai: (kicked) Gah-!
---You... ...!!

// I'm going to live. //

Soushin: To be called "bogus"... That doesn't make one very pleased.
Gojyo: So it should be "Cheating Butt-chin Doushi-sama" then?

Soushin: "Butt"...
Goku: We've already found out!
You're in league with youkai aren't you!?
Soushin: I'm not sure I follow you.
Hakkai: ---If that's so,
How would you like to try capture us with your estimable magic?
Doushi-sama.
Soushin: ... ...
Hakkai: You must've had it well thought-out.
Apart from the town's fortunes, you hand captured travellers over to those youkai as sacrifices.
This is how the peace treaties are sealed, isn't it?

Goku: Then that's not peace at all ain't it!
Doesn't it just come from sacrificing unknowing humans?!
Soushin: ---And how is that bad?
: ---!!
Soushin: Everything is done for the sake of the town's survival.
They are simply political decisions.
Gojyo: Ha. For your own sake, you mean.
What with the kekkai and whatnots - you're just stuffing the town with lies just so you can have it under your thumb.
Soushin: With a big town, there is a need for a presence to handle unification.
You've probably seen our residents.
As long as peace is preserved, circumstances like that are just fine to them.

Hakkai: ...You've really been taking the people for fools.
Soushin: Are the masses not precisely known to be foolish?
F/X: Walks.
Gojyo: ---Oi. Where'ya going, Goku?
Goku: Look for Sanzo.
We're getting nowhere talking with this old man.
Hakkai: ...That's quite true.

Soushin: ---Thinking of running away?
Goku: (nyoibo forms) ---Nyoibouuu!!
Guards: (hit) Gwah-   Ghah!

"---Wait!"
Goku: (slams into Gojyo) Bfft.
~~~~~~~~Gojyo?!
Why'd ya stop... ...

F/X: Ominous.
Soushin: -----   All of you... ...
