Hey—!
How was it?
We'll have a feast tonight!
{=1}The Legend of Night Gleam
Uh-oh...
They're all dirty now. We can't eat those anymore.
Huh?
Make this akebia fruit clean again.
Whoa...
The dirt is going away.
Wow...
Hey there!
Let's hurry home if you're done picking up some fruit.
They already started preparing for the festival.
Okay!
Hmm? Are you perhaps travelers?
She's a kind lady!
Oh, you came at a good time!
We just happened to have a big catch today.
Drop by our village!
Oh, I think we'll have to pass.
Please don't leave...
Huh!?
I never had a broth this good before.
What did you put on this?
That's a secret only our village knows.
By the way, don't hold back and drink some wine!
Oh, your wine here tastes good too!
What's wrong? Do they not suit your taste?
That's not it... Your dishes are very delicious.
It's just that... Everybody never seems to be shocked after seeing me.
Hmm?
You're not human, right?
That won't shock us. Look!
She's the wife of our fellow Manji.
This village has only been prosperous ever since she came here
Manji, this young lady is a divine harbinger too!
Are you two an inter-species married couple too?
My wife and I are the same.
Oh, this must be fate! I'm glad that you came here.
Oh, no way...
You've all been very welcoming of us.
Hahah! Welcoming, you say?
You can even say that a tiny village like ours barely has anything to offer.{it's hard to concisely translate this in English, but many Asian languages has a direct equivalent for this humble statement}
Phew! I sure ate a lot!
Alright, kids should go home now!
Okay!
We're about to start an adults-only overnight feast!
Overnight feast?
Whoa!
Wh-What's happening?
What else?
There's only one thing to do after satiating our appetites!
I'm definitely gonna make you bail out tonight.
But there are lots of people around...
City folks sure dilly-dally around with things.
Life is short for us countryside folks. So, what I'm saying is...
...that we live like there's no tomorrow!
Hamaguri, let's both feel good together again tonight.
Okay, darling!
You're already wet on the exterior.
I've been thinking about you, so I couldn't help it...
Isn't your precious spot already piping hot?
Dummy! Idiot! Perv!
Ahh! It went inside!
Ahh... My dear...{お前様}
My body started throbbing from watching them.
Yeah, me too.
I can't help but want you, Kurenai.
I want to suck your breast.
Okay...
Dear!
My darling is truly the best wife in the world!
It's okay, darling! I want to congratulate you on your big catch!
You can shoot plenty of it inside me!
It sure is a big catch we have here!
You're hot inside and it feels good no matter how many times I put it in.
My dear...
Your pleasure is my happiness!
Kurenai, I'm close... Let's do it together.
I want to come! Coming! I'm coming!
Hamaguri, can I have a taste of your excurrent siphon again?{出水管 - the one that squirts the water out (bivalves have a pair of siphons)}
You really are a pervert, my darling.
When I first drank the fluid that comes out of it,
I was shocked as hell on how good it tasted!
This incurrent siphon of yours...{入水管 - the one that sucks the water in (bivalves have a pair of siphons)}
It's sticky just like a rice cake... It feels fantastic!
You're giving me your baby seeds up to the last drop.
It's been half a year since I last had my wife's body! This is the best!
That was because we promised to only do it when you get a big catch...
So shut up and shake your hips, dummy!
This is the best... You're the best!
There... Doesn't it feel so good that your mind is going blank?
Yeah...
It's okay... You can let it out anytime.
Jeez...
You're completely toying with your husband who's a decade younger!{he's actually one generation away in age grouping, based on a 12-year cycle (一回り年下)}
This is mine...
This hot penis is completely mine!
I love you... I love you so much!
I totally lost again tonight...
Come here, Manji.
Make me come with all your might!
Hamaguri!
Hamaguri... Hamaguri!
You are the most wonderful woman!
Manji... Manji...
Your thing feels hot and it's filling me up inside! I'm full inside!
I want your thing!
I want it deeper inside!
I'm sorry...
I can't move anymore...
It's alright. I love how heavy you feel.
Manji! Manji!
I've been longing to do this with you all this time!
Aren't you tired? You spurted out a lot...
Yeah... Should we sleep?
Okay...
Hey Pops... Humans and supernatural beings are getting along here.
Isn't this a nice village?
There are good supernatural beings.
That is true in our village.
However...
Evil supernatural beings...
...also exist.
It's coming...
That thing is coming...
However...
That samurai called Yoshitsune...
He looks frail!
Will he really win against the monkey god?
We can only believe he will!
Having to offer girls from the village as sacrifices
should come to an end!
This isn't what I heard!
This is bad! He's gonna get killed!
Piercing Sun!
Hey, look at that!
Is that a companion of the samurai?
Huh? But that's a...
H-He did it!
Hey, he did it!
Really?
The defeated it? Thank goodness.
This might be a good thing...
Well, but...
Isn't that a supernatural being as well?
Are you afraid because she is?
Being human or supernatural doesn't matter.
Shaga certainly looks different from humans.
She also possesses terrifying powers.
But isn't how she uses those powers what counts?
What matters is if one unreasonably subjugates anyone
or saves those who are being oppressed instead.
Didn't Shaga just save you?
That's...
You're right. That was rude of us.
We truly are grateful.
Carry me! Carry me!
Now that it's all over, let's celebrate!
Oh... Lady Nubatama quickly goes...
Hey, it's too early for that. We'll go back to the village first.
We're about to enter an unknown country.
We'll probably reach Hiraizumi in about seven days.
You spoke well earlier, though.
Huh, what do you mean?
Ushiwaka...
No, he already came of age so he's Yoshitsune now...
He'll soon stand above men and rule over them.
He'll eventually become a hindrance to us.
Ushiwaka, there's a bamboo cutter hut.
Let's take shelter there today.
This should do with a little fixing.
Yeah.
I'll fetch some water.
Okay.
You right there are a son of the Genji...{Minamoto's kanji (源氏) can also be read as Genji in onyomi}
Yoshitsune-sama.
Why do you know that?
I am Yorihime.
I have been sent to you by someone from the eastern kingdom.
Eastern kingdom?
Is it Hidehira-sama that my mother told me to turn to.
To think that a noble's son will disguise himself
and stay at a place such as this...
It must have been hard for you...
If you'll leave everything to me,
may it be wealth, power,
or anything else, I will let you have them.
How about becoming the king of the eastern realm?
Even that Kiyomori, at this moment...
Kiyomori...
Taira no Kiyomori...
Ushiwaka!
Serpent fiend!
How scary, I have no intention of fighting you.
Wait!
Will that woman do for you, Ushiwaka?
I'm not Ushiwaka anymore! I'm Yoshitsune now!
You've come of age so you can have women as you please?
What's wrong, Shaga?
Huh?
That woman called Yorihime talked about Kiyomori.
She could be holding a key to something.
Yeah... I see... Right!
She ran deep into the mountains.
Tamamo-sama, that is the troublesome human called Yoshitsune.
He is with a supernatural being named Shaga for some reason.
She's an enemy despite being one of us.
What is that?
Is that a fox?
That's right.
I'm just a fox... At least for now.
The surrounding rocks are shining.
Are those her tails?
Are those tails sealed within the rocks?
The tails are nine in total.
Are you the subjugated nine-tailed fox who once tried to rule this nation?
Indeed.
My powers may be sealed right now,
but the power of the said seal is gradually weakening.
The one who should rule this world and its inhabitants is none other than me!
What are you talking about?
So you are the one named Shaga that helps humans
despite being a supernatural being and possessing powers beyond them.
What whim pushes you to go against your own kind?
Being human or supernatural doesn't matter.
What matters is if those who have power unreasonably subjugate anyone
or save those who are oppressed instead.
Shaga?
To the weak ones being oppressed,
I shall lend my power!
Hah, what a fool!
Dense forest, lush waters, and thriving wildlife...
It is we who possess the power to ruin such!
In the first place, this nation belonged not to humans
but to supernatural beings.
Heed me, Shaga!
If you kill that scoundrel named Yoshitsune,
I will overlook all your deeds up until now!
This nation doesn't belong to anyone!
You are a {supernatural}being from a foreign nation{China}, to begin with
Weren't you driven out of that nation?
Shaga!
Ushiwaka!
She's strong despite being bound to a single spot!
Ushiwaka, let's fall back for now!
There's no way you'll escape that easily.
You will stay put and die right here.
If you try to fight back,
I'll kill this man.
Ushiwaka!
My, my... You shouldn't be dodging.
If this goes on...
What are those?
Hooaah!
Ayame?
Fight her, Shaga-nee!
I'll do something about him!
You're a huge help!
Seven Treasures Summoning!
She's strong!
Shaga-nee, my barrier is about to wear off!
Shaga-nee!
Please, somebody...
Yatagarasu-sama!
No, it's useless...
It's nighttime, so Yatagarasu-sama is...
Shaga, you're falling here!
Is that... an aurora?
This gleam is yet another light from the sun.
Shaga, accept this new power!
My wounds are healing.
Shaga-nee's appearance is...
Wh-What is that?
Make this light stop!
It hurts... It hurts!
This is...
You wretch!
Sh-Shaga... You are...
Tamamo-sama has been sealed once again.
We're saved!
Flying all night paid off...
Thank you, Ayame.
Shaga...
Yatagarasu-sama.
This form and this power... What does this mean?
You accomplished a multitude of good deeds.
Due to those virtuous deeds,
you transcended to divinity as a deity just like me.
This is what you yearned for from deep within your heart...
A new path for you.
Tamamo has been sealed once again.
As a deity, you gain an even greater power to help people.
Will you lend your powers
and maintain Tamamo's seal, Shaga?
I am traveling with Ushiwaka...
Unfortunately, Ushiwaka won't be able to see you anymore.
You turned into a deity. You lost your physical state.
Your existence is similar to that of light. You can never be touched.
I wonder if I can decline this.
What, you're declining such an honor?
I apologize for being unable to lend my strength.
Rather than attaining eternal life as a goddess,
I want to stay within the cycle of life and come to a certain man's aid instead.
Understood.
Shaga...
Are you alright?
Hey, isn't the human realm full of mystery?
Fear... Anger...
Encounters... Farewells...
I want to try living in the realm of humans.
I feel the opposite.
I want to live like you, listening to the wind and trees.
However...
What I want the most is for this world to be the way you want, Shaga.
The way I want?
That sounds very good to me!
Ayame, you should wake up now.
Good morning, Shaga-nee...
Want to go with us?
No, I'm going back to the mountains.
I only came here to help you.
And I'd never get along with humans.
I went through that much just as expected.
Thank you for saving me.
H-Hmmph!
Ayame, be safe on your way.
Onee-chan, that should be my line!
Gosh...
They somehow are getting along well together...
He looks like a good guy, so I guess it's fine.
Shaga-nee...
Shaga-nee seems to have found a new path to take.
Anybody home?
Yes? Who is it?
This is Ushiwaka, the orphaned son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo.
He now goes by his courtesy name Yoshitsune.
Oh my, isn't he a man of noble lineage?
I'm Minamoto no Yoshitsune, the ninth son of Yoshitomo.
This is a pleasant surprise. I go by the name Genji Yukari.
Please come in.
Have you seen a geyser on your way earlier?
Yes, it was an unusual sight!
We also have a hot spring behind the mansion.
Feel free to wash out the fatigue from your travel.
Hot spring?
Welcome back.
Oh, I had a good bath.
Glad to hear that.
What are you reading?
The head of the house lent it to me.
It's an illustrated scroll about massage written by a doctor.
Massage?
Yeah...
I thought it'd be great to be able to relieve a little of your fatigue...
I suddenly felt tired after hearing you say that.
How is it?
It feels very good.
That's good to hear.
Alright, next is...
U-Uhh...
Hmm? What's next?
I-It says to massage the breasts.
Huh? My breasts?
Should we skip over this?
It's alright.
Huh?
Isn't that what the doctor wrote?
That's why I'm okay with it.
Okay.
He's panting so hard.
I never saw Ushiwaka like this before!
Huh!?
His hand went in my robe...
Shaga...
Ushiwaka...
It's poking at the back of my head.
I'm sorry...
Silly... There's no need to apologize.
Huh?
For this world to be the way I want...
You'll do that for me, won't you?
Shaga...
Yes, I'll do everything as you wish.
Then I want you, Ushiwaka.
Can I gobble them up?
Yes, you can.
Shaga, your insides feel so hot!
Yours is hot too.
Can I start moving?
Shaga!
It's going deep!
Ushiwaka... Ushiwaka!
Ushiwaka?
That felt too good. I thought I'll go crazy!
Was that bad?
No, I want you to do that more.
I can't take it... I'm coming!
Shaga!
It's alright! It's alright!
It's hot... It feels hot...
Ushiwaka, that's...
You're still ejaculating...
...as you keep on thrusting!
I'm ejaculating but my hips won't stop!
Ushiwaka is moving instinctively...
He's serious... He really is making me his woman.
Shaga!
Yes... You're doing good, Ushiwaka!
This is bad...
The pleasure is too much that I feel like I'm gonna die!
Don't worry!
When the moment of your death comes, it'll certainly be within my arms!
Shaga...
Ushiwaka... Why?
Why are you crying?
I don't know... I don't know!
When I think that we'll be together forever...
Yeah...
I will forever live and make love with you just like this.
I'll be under your care.
Hey, you right there!
I want to ask something.
Yes?
Could it be that you're looking for a man
who is buck-toothed, short, and hunchbacked?
Yes, that's right. How did you know?
A samurai also came here a few days ago, but I told him that didn't see someone like that.
Was that so?
That definitely is Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
Be careful.
They couldn't find who they're looking for.
Well, nobody will take the search seriously.
Is that how it is?
Hey, I found plenty of wild strawberries nearby.
They're right next to a beautiful spring.
That sounds great. Let's take a break, then.
Ushiwaka, you keep teasing nothing else my horn!
You told me last time that this feels good.
That's not what I meant...
What I meant was it makes me feel numb
and my mind goes blank!
I know!
Shaga...
Ushiwaka... I-I'm already...
Already what?
I'm begging you, Ushiwaka! Bring me to a climax!
Your orgasm looks like the strongest thing in the whole world.
Oh, silly!
Can you close your legs?
Okay...
Wow... I feel like coming in no time!
Should I squeeze harder?
Yeah...
Ushiwaka, fill me up inside.
Okay...
Shaga, my heart is always fulfilled thanks to you.
It's your turn next.
Ushiwaka... I love you!
Ushiwaka!
Shaga!
Oh, you got so engrossed...
Well, I was just as engrossed as you were.
僕は探してた 君の想いのかけらを
boku wa sagashiteta kimi no omoi no kakera wo
I was searching for a fragment of your feelings
孤独の闇に凍えながら
kodoku no yami ni kogoe nagara
freezing in the solitary darkness
手探りで
tesaguri de
as I fumble my way around
そして見つけたよ 閉ざされた窓の向こう
soshite mitsuketa yo tozasareta mado no mukou
and I finally found it beyond a closed window
闇夜に浮かぶ暖かなその光りを
yami yoru ni ukabu atataka na sono hikari o
a warm light glowing amidst the dark night
輝く Quarter Moon 漆黒に
kagayaku quarter moon shikkoku ni
the shining quarter moon over a jet black background
それは翳された希望
sore wa kazasareta kibou
that is a dim light of hope
もう一度明日へ踏みだそう
mou ichido asu e fumidasou
let's step towards tomorrow once again
時の止まった世界に 別れ告げて
toki no tomatta sekai wakaretsugete
and say goodbye to this world where time had stopped
