Kyokou Suiri (Ss2) - Ep 12 (gọi tắt là “Suiri #63”)

Have you, the girl with the gun, ever been to a proper eel restaurant all by yourself? No, it's not just one person. Eel is delicious, but it's expensive. To casually walk into a place like this, you really do need to be of a certain age—or have a bit of life experience. You're right. Then what could that be? What on earth is it? At the very top, especially Ori's Fleeting Winter Like Snow in a Video A skill woven from the falling Haze Ori, transforming into a crane that sheds tears The desert boy who set out on a journey to find the farthest end Free me from my guilt, and I've finished looking at the fluorescent light. This year's lie is a lie with utmost sincerity. The back is an amorphous fili. How old does she look? High school student, or maybe middle school student? Though he stands still, his demeanor appears mature. Some holy site of a divine monk, I suppose. Kajio, don't stare so blatantly. It's a mystery. Alone at an eel restaurant. I ask for the rarest of rare, a peculiar girl. Looks like a doll. I wonder if it has a built-in mechanism. You can't eat eel without the internal organs. A mechanical doll that eats from the nape of the neck, or something like that. Of all the places, the nape of the neck. You're unusually troubled. Are you really that concerned? It's better if there are no mysteries. To eat well and to sleep soundly at night. I don't want to be burdened by such hang-ups today. Let's set aside the reason why that child is here for now. Why did you suddenly invite me to eat eel at noon? Moreover, in a place like this upscale restaurant. It has been half a year since my wife Yukie passed away. Since Yukie has been around, I've felt unusually heavy-bodied, and I've been unable to sleep well at night. I went to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything wrong. In the end, it was all psychosomatic illness. The heart truly cannot be free. But having finally grown accustomed to the feeling of recovering, I've been sleeping well these past few days, and my weight has returned to normal. I'm thinking it's about time we started fresh. That's why I suddenly decided to eat eel in that cake bath. I see. She seemed quite reluctant when she answered that her wife had passed away. Then, eating eel is the right choice. Eel was considered beneficial to health even during the Nara period. It's even mentioned in the Manyoshu that one should consult the summer fatigue. Huh, you've always been full of useless trivia, haven't you. Grilled liver, umakki, and let's add bone senbei too. Owner, order. Yes, right away. Let's change our way of thinking. It's difficult to speculate, based on the limited information available, why that child came to this store. You're right. Let's think about it the other way around. Why did we encounter such a strange phenomenon? Whenever I encounter something rare or mysterious. It was interpreted as either a favorable omen or a sign of madness. Isn't this a sign for us? Omen? You've probably heard it before—something bad will happen if a black cat crosses your path, right? Good things are said to happen when the tea column stands upright. Don't say that meeting the Linggongsha brings bad luck. What would you do if you saw a child eating an entire eel by themselves at a genuine eel restaurant? Though I'd like to think that such pitiful sight is a sign of good fortune, a lucky omen, Indeed, it is an eel shop, and what appeared there was, something with a striking flower whose very humanity is uncertain It must carry some meaning or symbolism. Eels are sacred creatures, particularly regarded as messengers of the Void Image Bodhisattva. The Void-like Bodhisattva is said to oversee virtue and wisdom. Holding the wish-fulfilling jewel, which symbolizes fortune and virtue, in the left hand, Holding a sword symbolizing wisdom in the right hand. Ah, wisdom, is it? When it comes to eel, the way it's prepared differs between Kanto and Kansai regions. They say in Kanto it blooms from the back, but in Kansai, it blooms from the belly. Kantō was full of warriors, and apparently they avoided anything reminiscent of seppuku. Although this is a common saying, it is also said that in reality, the cooking methods differ between the east and the west. The eel at this shop is prepared using Kansai-style cooking methods. In other words, she is performing a belly-opening gesture that implies seppuku. Eels are also used metaphorically to describe someone who skillfully escapes due to the difficulty of grasping their body. When taken together, that otherworldly child is none other than the Vacuity Image Bodhisattva. Eel symbolizes a sinner who skillfully evades guilt. Thus, it implies that the Buddha of the Void Image seizes those who flee from sin with the sword of his wisdom and drives them to hara-kiri. It's nice how things connect seamlessly. Ah. The appearance of that child might be a typical case of being exposed and judged for sin by those who possess wisdom. Kajio, you killed your wife, Yukae. I wondered, is it alright for the Void Image Bodhisattva to eat his own servant, the eel? If one is a bodhisattva, is one not free to treat one's own disciples as one sees fit? So, why do you think I killed Yukea? Yukea was attacked by a street robber half a year ago night. My bag was snatched, and I was pushed down and fell. He struck his head forcefully and, unfortunately, died. It was merely judged as such based on the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body. No one witnessed the moment of the robbery. Even if you pretend to be attacked by a robber after knocking Yukae-san down and killing her, you'll end up in the same situation. Although it did not constitute murder, similar methods had already been used in previous incidents before Yukea was attacked. Several incidents have occurred after Yukea's death. That's why the investigation is currently focusing on the possibility of a street robbery. If he had imitated the modus operandi of a road robber and killed Yukee, there would be nothing suspicious about it. Alternatively, the entire series of street robberies themselves might have been committed solely by you to conceal your true motives. The robber has not been caught. If there are no other fatalities besides Yukea, it's not a high-risk act of camouflage. Yukea had been getting fed up with your intense possessiveness and attachment, and had wanted to break up. You, of all people. I couldn't possibly accept it if you broke up and Yukeya-san ended up with another man. It's entirely possible that one might even consider killing someone in order to keep them solely to oneself. Evidence? There is nothing material. Even so, for me, the most compelling evidence is that after Yukea-san's death, you became insomniac and wasted away. What on earth does that mean? You're not the kind of man who'd sulk just because Yukea-san was killed. He should relentlessly pursue the robber who killed his wife, driven by fury like a raging fire, and advance toward revenge. I'll never allow anyone other than you to do anything to Yukee-san, who belongs to you. Because I gave up the cap, and since Yukea-san passed away, she no longer became someone else's. Let us suppose that, in this case, the robber was forgiven and nothing was done about it. In that case, you must be satisfied with that situation. Even if they don't openly show their joy, they should have gone on as they did before. It's impossible for one's mental state to become increasingly strained and anxious when one is already exhausted. You're right, that's true. Yet you were clearly and plainly, just like an ordinary husband who had lost his beloved wife, utterly worn down and despondent. Chief, are you all right? Sorry, I'm a bit dizzy. It's impossible. Such things are obviously just acting. In short, he feared being seen as having motive for murder and thus felt compelled to do so, in order to avoid suspicion from those around him and the police. Because you were the culprit, you had to overact the role of a believable husband who had lost his beloved wife, in order to avoid suspicion. I see, now I understand. That kid was the one you planted and sent to the store, wasn't it? To unsettle me and psychologically corner me, you unexpectedly brought up the story that I killed Yukya. No, that child is a complete stranger, unrelated to the matter. It was probably about an hour ago that you invited me to have lunch. What? Then that girl would still remain a mystery. What a pity, I wanted to feel refreshed. It is a fact that when I saw that child, I immediately associated the image with a虚空像 Bodhisattva, a criminal evading guilt, and persuasion. That's why, the way you referred to yourself as "that kid" seemed to me all along as a typical confirmation that my suspicions were correct—just go ahead and denounce you. What a terrible misunderstanding. I was wrong. Sorry, you're not the culprit. What's the rush? I didn't just blurt out thoughts from yesterday or today. My analysis regarding my punishment is mostly correct. It's because the analysis is correct. If you were the culprit, you wouldn't be calmly and happily eating dinner without the slightest reaction after suddenly being accused by me. I can't possibly worry about that child. I immediately started thinking, facing up to the situation head-on, as if saying it directly to me. That way, I could have become even more convinced of this hypothesis. Yet you were casually enjoying yourself, unfazed. Thinking about that kid, it's impossible. To be honest, your haggard appearance was so genuinely convincing that I couldn't tell whether it was an act or not. That's why I thought that by exposing him like this, such伪装 would be stripped away. Yukie passed away, and you were truly weak then. Then, how about you? I couldn't believe that Yukie's words would have affected me this much. I'll pay for everything here—just a small gesture of apology. No, don't worry about it. By the way, why didn't you tell the police about this suspicion until now? Can you pretend to sell a friend to the police? I won't be satisfied unless I'm given the chance to decide for myself. I see. Then, as I promised when I invited you, I should pay for this. Jūjō-dera. You're a good friend. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much. What on earth is that? Be careful on your way back. It's my treat next time. Is it a bit better? Kajio Takaya-san. The void is like a bodhisattva. Why this name here? As a matter of courtesy, I shall also introduce myself. My name is Kotoko Iwanaga. I have a small favor to ask of you—could I please have a moment of your time? It's fine, but what about it? Are you going to voluntarily go to the police from here? They must regret having systematically murdered their spouse and are now attempting to surrender voluntarily. Detective Tenjō's reasoning was correct. Half a year ago, I decided to kill Yuki-e so that I would never have to give her to anyone else. Even if I kill Yuki-e, I'll still be able to go on with my daily life as usual. I am that kind of person. in order to conceal their motive, carried out several prior instances of street robbery, He staged the situation as if the serial killer had accidentally killed Yukie while losing his composure. Yukie had died, and she hadn't been suspected by the police—just as planned. The only miscalculation was that after finishing Yukiyo's funeral, I couldn't sleep at night. He had thought that killing his wife would satisfy him, but that was overconfidence. Killing someone you love must have brought me far greater calamity than I was even aware of. Deep down, had I wished that Yukiha would continue living even if she belonged to someone else? I have decided to do it myself. By the time I finished the new compilation and organization, my body had become completely relieved. I wanted to eat delicious food on my last day, and I also wanted to meet up with friends. Before the physiological examination by the Jōjō family, I had already made up my mind to undergo practical training. I never thought I'd be exposed here for killing Yuki. I might as well confess it only to the Jōji family. No, I want to part with a smile now. It's more fun to surprise them later. Today, I was supposed to take control, and everything was supposed to end. Why would this child know that truth? So that's how it's solved! Are you a detective or a private investigator? Having been asked by his wife's relatives, he investigated this new edition and, by secretly installing a bug in the room, found out what was going on. It's hardly reasonable for someone like you to do such a job, though you're probably not as young as you look. Now I can guess the reason you came here earlier to the eel shop. It's just preliminary groundwork, a way of probing the situation, to corner them. If a child like you were to come alone to a proper eel restaurant, you'd inevitably catch everyone's attention; if suddenly accosted and interrogated by that child, I'd be flustered, putting you at an advantage. It turns out that "typical" wasn't entirely wrong after all. You were indeed a bodhisattva of the虚空 (void), adorned with the wisdom of feudalism. Unfortunately, I have nothing to do with bodhisattvas. I happened to walk into Kazio's shop. Huh? What is it? However, I was eating there at the time, as my wife had asked me to. To my wife? Mr. Kajio, ever since your wife passed away, you've been feeling heavy all the time, and you haven't been able to sleep properly at night, have you? Of course. Your wife's spirit, whom you murdered, is clinging to you more firmly than ever. Spirit? Have you never heard of it? What's happening to you is exactly what people call spiritual affliction or demonic possession. The current bodily anomaly is not one rooted in deepened guilt. There's an externally applied, powerful load. When I entered that eel restaurant, I was slightly startled to find a person possessed by a spirit filled with revenge. Then, that woman's spirit came to me and told me all about the circumstances. If your wife were killed and has been haunting you nonstop, she would know everything about you—from the method of murder to your recent movements. And although his wife has decided to leave voluntarily, she apparently has no intention of separating. Therefore, Mr. Kajishiro, even if you voluntarily atone socially, your symptoms will not improve. Please continue living like this from now on. Stop talking nonsense about spirits or curses already. Since I made the decision to be independent, my body has felt lighter, and I've even been able to sleep better. It's because my sense of guilt is fading. It's just in your imagination. I just felt that way because I had come to believe that if I atoned for my sins, the symptoms would disappear. You can feel it, your body is getting heavier right now. I was asked by my wife to convey this message to you. You are not a decent person who falls ill from guilt. He is possessive and kills his wife, without a single regret or sense of remorse. It's just a lack of people. My wife seems to be annoyed that you're coming to see her as a decent person capable of feeling guilt. Your sense of guilt is also a fabricated lie, invented to deceive yourself, serving as an excuse for the physical suffering. It's all in your imagination, really. It's fine whether you continue living outdoors or start living indoors from now on. Prison life is inconvenient, but exotic beasts are guaranteed. Living outdoors is free, but from this state, one must establish order and structure. Which one would be more enjoyable, I wonder? Wait a minute! You can see ghosts and hear voices, right! Then you should be able to get rid of the possessed wife! Please! Can't you do it for me! I'll pay the price! I am the goddess of wisdom for monsters, yōkai, ghosts, and demons. Although I can hear my wife's request as a ghost, I cannot hear the requests of ordinary people. Unless it goes against the natural order of the world for your wife's spirit to be with you, It's just karma—everything is logically consistent, so there's no necessity to do anything about it. Your wife will eventually get tired of you. You just need to live a long life until then. Isn't it greed, having the current situation where I can be with my wife, whom I love so much I'd kill for her? What on earth is this kid? If you hit it as hard as you hit me, it's just a little kid. Simply, Bodhisattva. That's a case of mistaken identity. Finally, just one more thing, please tell me. Why did you come alone to that eel restaurant? It's been bothering me all along. Why, you ask? I suddenly thought I should get ready since I'm spending the night at my lover's place tonight. I just went into the eel shop I happened to see. Huh? Eel is regarded as a symbol of Xiaobao and Xingshan. Due to its shape, which resembles that of a male, it is also regarded as a symbol of marital harmony. The sacred site of the divine monk. It looks just like a perfect match. The incarnation of a bodhisattva. I'm all fired up tonight. What thieves! Then, good evening. Harmony between husband and wife. Snow. Was it because no one came to my aid? Me? Good job, Crow. Good job, well done. Looks like your ride has arrived, so you can put that down and come up. Coming to pick you up? Senior. Good job. That is the case. That Kajio person got what he deserved, but you're not exactly merciful either. I merely fulfilled my duty as the god of wisdom among the monsters. It's no longer relevant, so it's fine now. But from now on, don't go into places like that on your own. The shopkeeper looks like they're puzzled, wondering what that was. I don't think there's anything wrong with it either. Wouldn't the sparrow dish have been better then? Stop doing that in every possible sense. Really, stop it. You're saying I ate a high-priced eel all by myself, so am I being greedy? But senior had a part-time job starting from noon, so they probably wouldn't have been able to come even if invited. Shall I treat you again next time? Not there, not there! Senior staff usually work too hard. Don't we have no time even for a date? Are there students who work three or four grueling part-time jobs simultaneously, working nonstop without sleep? Being with a sloppy, incomprehensible lover sure is a hassle. Which one would it be? Anyway, since I've eaten eel, I must now show its effects. No need to hold back tonight, senior. I dream day and night, morning, noon, and night. It's surely unshakable even in a twisted world A story for just the two of us Even a tomorrow that can be changed Don't change, please. It's fine just as it is. There's no substitute for it. Because I'll always be by your side. I just felt it Me I'll show you tonight Unforgettable Feel it I'll show it to you tonight Just you there And I said I love you.
