F/X: clang   clang
F/X: Panting.
Hazel: Where... where have you gone to, master?

F/X: Wakes in shock.
F/X: insect noises

Gato: Are you all right?
You were having a huge nightmare.
Hazel: You should have woken me up then. That's not a very nice hobby you have there.
Gato: I will do that next time. (Hazel steps out of bed.) ---Hazel?
Hazel: Since we're already awake, we should prepare to set off soon.
F/X: Gush of water.

Gato: It's still in the middle of the night.
Hazel: Why? Have you not slept enough?
Gato: It was you who created my sleepless body.
F/X: Splashing.
Hazel: haha And that's good.
F/X: Turns off tap.
Gato: Where are we heading off to?
Hazel: Indeed... where?

-----------

F/X: Splashing.
Hakkai: Good morning, Goku.
Goku: Nnmornin'.
Gojyo: (yawns) Oh...
This is pretty early for you. How unusual.
Goku: Hey~~~ you were the one who kicked me awake!

Gojyo: Wasn't it Jiipu? Ah, my bad.
But that's 'cause I have long legs, unlike some little monkey out there.
Goku: Some little monkey out there? Which little monkey 'ya talking about huh?!
Gojyo: You see any other monkey here in this forest?
Hakkai: Ah, Sanzo. Good morning.
F/X: Brushing.
Brushing... ...
Sanzo: ... ...
... ...
Ah?   <- low blood pressure
Hakkai: Good morning.

Sanzo: You've recovered?
Hakkai: Yes, completely. I rested well yesterday night.
But since we escaped the town in the evening, we couldn't help but camp out after that...
Sanzo: Used to it, aren't we?
Hakkai: Ahaha I'm fine, thank you.
F/X: Insects chirping.
Gojyo: What's with this? This is just...

Gojyo: ...not enough.
Sanzo: You have problems with that, don't eat it.
F/X: Goku devouring.
Gojyo: But this is just too little!
Hakkai: Come now. It may only be canned food, but it still helped, didn't it?
Goku: Aa--- If only I had bought those ten helpings of fried soba...
... ...yesterday...

Gojyo: I told you not to give me -that- long face.
F/X: kick
Goku: (splutters) ~~~What're you doing!!?
Sanzo: ---Goku.
Forget it.
It's no use keeping it on your mind.
Goku: ... ...
(garbage disposal noise dumps food in mouth) Hakkai! Another helping!
Hakkai: Well. As much as I'd love to give you another helping...

Hakkai: It looks like you'll have to leave it with me for the time being, no?
Youkai: (crazed laughter) Found you, the Wanted-Sanzo-ikkou!
We're gonna have your sutra and your lives!!
Gojyo: Sheesh. It's still damn early in the morning.
Thought I said I don't want to see your stupid faces?
Goku: Don't you know that if breakfast is not taken properly...
One gets irritable!?

F/X: Shouts and cries.
Youkai: Take 'em down!!

Youkai: 'Still a long way to go! Attack till they're exhausted!
Hakkai: They've taken to wave-tactics.
Sanzo: Hmph. They're pretty hardworking to be attacking at such early hours.
F/X: Bullet whistles past.
F/X: Boom of gunshots.
// !!? //

F/X: Gunshots.
: !? Eh...?
Hazel: There're many busy people this morning.

Hazel: Good morning; fine weather, isn't it?
Hakkai: Mor... Good morning.
Goku: Eh?
You're that "oban" guy!
Why are you here---
Hazel: Wouldn't this conversation... be better left till later?
: !!
Even if you didn't say that,

"We know!"
Hazel: haha Getting along well, aren't we.
---Gato. Please go.
F/X: Cocks gun.
F/X: Gunfire.

Goku: That guy really -is- strong!
Hazel: Is that so? Leave the rest to us then.
Gojyo: Hah? Those are our enemies. We don't need help.
Hazel: Is that so?
Because, somehow, you seem to be taking a lot of effort to defeat them.
F/X: Ominous.

Gojyo: Sanzo. Sanzo, c'mere.
Sanzo: What now.
Gojyo: Let 'em take a look at Makai Tenjou. And make it go boom or something.   [<-- s.C. note: What exactly /did/ he say? I dunno. *laughs*]
Sanzo: Are you kids?!
Goku: But!?
Gojyo: How can you keep quiet after what he said!
Sanzo: Since they volunteered to tidy this up, it's fine to let them be.
Gojyo: It's -not- fine! The number of youkai isn't decreasing!
Hazel: Really, you can't be unreasonable, Sanzo-han.

Hazel: You may still get hurt, even when you hide behind those three people.
F/X: Sanzo kicks Gojyo.
Gojyo: DWAAH?!!
What are you doin...
Sanzo: (chants)

Makai Tenjou!!
Hakkai: Aa--- he really did it.
Gojyo: Who's the kid now huh? Who?!
Hazel: // Wha... What is this power...?! //
F/X: whistling silence of aftermath

Gojyo: Well. How's that, roughly?
Goku: Too easy.
Sanzo: What are -you- boasting about?
Hazel: Oh my... I'm honestly amazed!
"The power of the light that shatters the darkness of evil."
This---
---was what I wanted.
Sanzo: ... ...?
Hazel: Well then,
There's a town somewhere down the forest. How would you like to go and have lunch together?

Hazel: I'll treat.
Gojyo: Oi, oi. Why should we let you treat us?
Hazel: Because, if you keep on eating only these...
Won't it be bad for you?
Gojyo: It's not -like- we eat canned food all the time!

-----------

F/X: background clattering
Hazel: ...considering what you said,

Hazel: You do eat a lot.
Gojyo: That's 'cause it's someone else's money.
Goku: Another one of this-----!!
Sanzo: It's not as if you -ever- used your own money.
Gojyo: Didn't you come from the west?
Why are you turning back again?
Hazel: I thought I've said it before? Our aim is to exterminate youkai.
And for some reason, Sanzo-han's group is being targeted by youkai, which is all well for us, because I was thinking that even more of those youkai will appear if we move together.
Hakkai: I see. Ah, actually, we have always wanted to hear more about you.

Hazel: Heh~ What about?
Hakkai: For example, about those who were revived by your powers---
Are there any side effects to those instances of resurrection?
Hazel: Is anything the matter that's worrying you?
Hakkai: Well, no, it's just that everybody's eyes have generally become yellow.
Other than that, nothing seemed to have changed from time when those people had been alive. So I was wondering if it is really possible to resurrect the dead.
Hazel: Well, that can't particularly be called a side effect, can it? Though...
Hakkai: Though?
Hazel: The people resurrected via my powers were those who had been killed by youkai. Therefore---

Hazel: They confront youkai with a similarly revived hatred.
I can't prevent that from happening... my powers cannot attain that.
Sanzo: ... ...
Goku: Hey--- This is good. Have some too!
Gato: No... I...
Hazel: You needn't worry about Gato.
Sanzo: Those resurrected people... it is possible to make them serve you?

Hazel: ...Gato was a companion from the start.
Certainly he had already lost his life. And what with his kind of brash fighting style, there will never be enough souls to use, no matter how many of them are available.
Nevertheless, he will still go all out just for me. He's a very important companion.
Gojyo: So he's an adept and unkillable bodyguard, huh?
Hazel: Haha So he is. As long as he stays together with me.

Hazel: By the way, what is the purpose of your travels?
Gojyo: Ah? Oh... Well that--- some minor business to attend to.
Hazel: A monk and his disciples... I don't see that a lot.
Sanzo: Not disciples. Servants.
Gojyo: He said that again.
Goku: He hadn't said that for some while.
Hakkai: I thought he'd say that.
Hazel: (laughs) I see. And, Sanzo-han was truly fantastic just now.

Hazel: With a sutra like that, it's no wonder youkai target you.
Sanzo: ...your pendant is some special item too, I suppose.
Hazel: Ah, you realised?
Goku: Strange shape it is.
Hazel: The key to it is precisely its shape.
Goku: The shape?
Hazel: I use this pendant as the vector through which souls are collected.
Look--- see these numerous holes? I can store the souls in them.

Goku: He-----h.
Hakkai: You certainly are a stylish person.
Hazel: Haha That's funny, coming from you.
Aren't your ear cuffs much more stylish?
Hakkai: ...thank you.
Voice: Excuse me...

Sanzo: ...what is it.
Townsfolk: It's inexcusable to interrupt you during your meal, but are you, by any chance, that famous---
Bishop Hazel-sama's group?
F/X: Goku hits table.
Hazel: Haa... May I help you?
Gojyo: ~~~Sanzo! 'Tis bad! Spells trouble for us!
Goku: (ow ow ow)
Sanzo: What the...
Hakkai: Oh my. Why do I feel like someone's stolen the show?

Townsfolk: Please, shikyou-sama! Please save us... Please save our town!
Goku: Wha... what?
Hazel: Please fill me in.
