Ling Qi 2 (Spiritpact 2)

Please don't let him near my son ever again.

Ma'am, he's not like everyone else. He can see spirits.

Please help him.

He can see spirits? There's no way!

That monster is apparently still in the hospital.

My mom says everyone in that family is weird.

His mom is definitely weird.

Can I help you?

Oh, excuse me, is the family that lives here out right now?

The neighbors moved somewhere about a month ago.

I didn't get to say goodbye.

Life is a never-ending cycle of meetings and departures.

Even when you try to look back, no one is there.

Episode 3 Blood-Stained Snow

Will you really find that boy for me?

Of course I will.

I want to protect him.

I promised him he wouldn't be alone.

He got hurt because I looked away.

I want another chance.

I'll give you that chance.

You Keika!

What are you doing?

Tanmoku Ki, I'm talking with the stone boy right now.

You can see him, can't you? He's right here.

What's wrong with him?

Stone boy, look.

It's the Youmeishi you wanted to meet.

Is this the culprit?

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Don't!

That stone is possessed.

The stone boy isn't here.

What you're seeing is an illusion!

I know you the best, Mr. Spirit Shadow.

See? He's right there.

You Keika, snap out of it!

Stone boy?

His eyes are blank.

Is he being hypnotized?

You would need an implement to place such a strong suggestion.

Is that poisoned?

Who could have done this? And when?

The poison is taking hold in his heart and simply showing him his strongest desire.

Why didn't I notice such an elaborate spell?

I'm sorry, Keika.

Tanmoku Ki, what are you doing?

I'm going to destroy the stone to free you from the spell.

Destroy it? It's the stone boy's real form.

There are still things I want to ask him.

Mr. Spirit Shadow, I know where that boy is.

You do? Where is he?

He is...

Yes.

Stone boy?

Stone boy!

Just a little bit more and I would've known where he is...

Why did this happen?

Why?!

Why did you destroy him?!

Why did you get in my way?

What's wrong with me?

When did this happen?

I can't control the rage in my heart.

I just want to protect one person, so why can't I do it right?

Preparations are complete.

Next time Tanmoku Ki goes out, that spirit shadow won't accompany him.

I leave the rest to you.

Hey, where are you?

I'm right in front of you.

In front? No you aren't.

I'm diagonal to your right about 45 degrees.

Oh, there you are.

You've really covered yourself up.

It's not like we're on a date.

My hair color stands out.

Let's go.

Let's hurry and get this over with.

Let's take a selfie together first!

A business trip to Iceland?

Yeah, he left by high-speed rail yesterday.

I can't see him for a whole week. I'm gonna wither up and die.

Then you should've gone with him.

He told me no!

He said he'd have someone with him, and I thought for sure he meant you!

Then who is he with? I haven't heard anything.

Tsk, aren't you his spirit shadow?

You're clinging to him every day. Shouldn't you know everything?

I haven't heard anything...

I'm sure he didn't say anything on purpose.

Who did he go with?

Speak of the devil.

If you want your fiance back, pay the ransom.

Screw him! I want to punch the crap out of that bastard, Ouyou!

Who is Ouyou?

He's a feng shui master. He said he's accompanying Tanmoku-san on this trip.

You'll live a healthy life with fortunes from the Ouyou family.

Ouyou You

Blemishes, freckles, wrinkles:

one phone call and I'll come rushing over to give you a heart-warming treatment.

You're handsome, but you've got a screw loose.

There are limits for a woman my age.

Believe in miracles! Don't give up!

You can't fight aging!

Keep it down. I told you not to make a scene.

We're on a journey; try to relax a bit more.

Okay, open wide.

Stop screwing around. If you don't, I'll—

This is our target location.

The tunnel paths were cut by a boring machine.

Large-scale landslides are frequently occurring.

The local government can't handle it either.

We will repair the tunnel paths and change the flow of the feng shui.

Okay, got it.

Hey, that reminds me. You made a contract with a spirit shadow, right?

Why didn't you bring him?

He has no interest in these kinds of jobs.

He's probably absorbed in a game right now.

Huh? A game?

You made a spirit shadow contract with a fanboy?

That idiot's really worked up today.

I guess he's in a bad mood because his master abandoned him.

You're awfully enthusiastic.

Yesterday, you practiced late into the night.

Are you frustrated that your master is away?

What a piece of work!

How's it feel to be single?

In Tetsu, I don't get it.

I don't know what's going on with us.

I've never felt that "sharing life and death together" feeling that you mentioned.

Our hearts probably aren't communicating with one another.

Sometimes I doubt whether I'm really his spirit shadow or not.

Don't tell him about this.

I don't know what you're so worried about,

but a spirit shadow absolutely cannot disobey the will of its master.

Once you've made the contract,

it is engraved on your souls, and no one will be able to separate you.

That's enough practice for today.

Review what you've learned.

In Tetsu-sama, that's just the ideal scenario, right?

The bond between spirit shadow and Youmeishi is tougher than anything.

However, it will become fragile if the heart wavers.

Why are you wearing so many layers? Sensitive to the cold?

Is it because of that time?

Idiot.

It's so cold! Why is it so cold?

Let's get going. I want to get this over with.

Hey, wait up! Hold me close and warm me up.

The target is heading towards the mission area.

We will carry out the mission tomorrow.

Try not to get regular people involved.

Are you sure about this?

Don't worry. The Youmeishi won't die so easily.

If we hurt him and make him bleed a bit,

then the members of the Tanmoku family will move quickly.

And show their true colors.

Come in.

Jimei, did Ki make it all right?

Yes, but he is not at the hotel.
