Shulato #36
translation by Arcadia

[OP]

{Narrator} "In the battle with Shiva and the Asura gods, both Vishnu and 
Gai lost their lives. However, Gai merged with Shulato, enabling him to 
become Brahma's true successor, and give Shulato's Shura Mahaken enough 
power to fight Shiva. Unable to control her own black Sohma, Shiva 
self-destructed. At last, Tenkuukai was at peace."

{Title} "An Urgent Message! The Last Battle"

{Narrator} "A year has passed since the Shulato and the Hachibushu 
defeated the Asura gods. Peace has returned to Tenkuukai. The Hachibushu 
all ventured out to follow their own paths, while Lakshu watched over the 
new Tenkuukai as Vishnu's successor."

{Lakshu} "You two look likek you're having fun.You always look so free 
and happy."

{Lakshu} "What? Me too? Well, maybe I used to be, but now I'm more like a 
bird in a cage."

"Lady Lakshu! You're needed. Please come to the altar."

{Lakshu} "See, Mii?"

{Lakshu} "I can never keep my mind on things here. I know this is 
important work, but I can't help thinking about Shulato. I wish Shulato 
was here."

"Lady Lakshu! Lady Lakshu!"

"Lady Lakshu, you must keep meditating! Please try to concentrate!"

{Lakshu} "Sorry! ... I mean, my apologies."

"You're Lady Vishnu's successor."

"Please try not to forget that."

{Lakshu} "I understand."

{Lakshu} "Can it be?"

{Lakshu} "Understand? I want you to find the Hachibushu and give them 
these crystal balls. Okay? Go!"

{Lakshu} "Please hurry."

{Ryouma} "A crystal ball? Did something happen?"

{Ryouma} "Lakshu..."

{Reiga} "Gardening is good for the soul. After all, it was the beautiful 
flowers that made Tenkuukai so beautiful."

{Reiga} "It brought a crystal ball? Could it be..."

{Kuuya} "Sohma flows through everything in Tenkuukai- the flowers and 
trees, the rocks and the moon, even the earth itself."

{Kuuya} "What is it, Aguri?"

{Aguri} "There's a naga!"

{Kuuya} "What?"

{Kuuya} "An urgent message? What could it be?"

"Wow!"

"He's strong!"

{Dan} "That's the fifth one! Don't be so surprised. I may spend most of 
my time wandering, but I'm still the strongest there is! Isn't there 
anyone else who wants to challenge me?"

{Dan} "What?"

{Renge} "How pathetic! Take it like a man!"

"But you could be a little gentler, Miss Renge."

{Renge} "Say what? Well, that should be it. You'll be fine now."

{Renge} "Who's next?"

{Renge} "What?"

{Hyuga} "If I keep feeding this tree Sohma, it will grow to be a new 
Tenkuuju. It may take years, but I will do it!"

{Hyuga} "A message? What is it?"

"It's no use! We can't move it!"

"But-"

{Shulato} "Looks like trouble. Maybe they need my help."

{Shulato} "Hey, I'll move it for you. Could you get out of the way?"

"Who are you?"

{Shulato} "Just stay out of the way."

"What are you talking about? The five of use together couldn't move it!"

"That's right!"

{Shulato} "Just watch."

{Shulato} "Mii! Long time no see! How've you been? How's everyone? How's 
Lakshu?"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "Dear Hachibushu, something terrible is about to happen! Please 
drop whatever you're doing and come to Pujantar village at once! Don't be 
late!"

{Shulato} "Something terrible? What is it, Mii?"

{Shulato} "You don't know? I should just hurry? Well, I guess I'll find 
out when I get there. Here, catch!"

{Shulato} "So I'm off! Bye!"

"Wow!"

"He must have been one of the palace soldiers!"

"What a cutie!"

{Shulato} "Who put this hole here?"

{Shulato} "If I want to get there in a hurry, this is the fastest way!"

{Shulato} "He's catching up with me! He's fast!"

{Shulato} "Take that!"

{Shulato} "What?"

[eyecatch]

{Shulato} "Who are you, you bastard?"

{Reiga} "Still hotheaded, I see. Do you always attack without knowing who 
your opponent is?"

{Shulato} "Reiga! It's great to see you! How've you been?"

{Reiga} "Not too bad. And you? I see you've bulked up a bit. You sure 
needed it."

{Shulato} "Yeah... Hey, what'd you mean by that?"

{Reiga} "You haven't changed at all."

{Reiga} "It's so peaceful everywhere. There's no conflict anywhere on 
Tenkuukai."

{Shulato} "It's a bit boring."

{Reiga} "Yeah, but this is what Tenkuukai is meant to be. Our job is to 
keep it this way."

{Reiga} "A good fight brings a good victory."

{Shulato} "I guess so. But what do these mean? Do you think there could 
be any Asura survivors?"

{Reiga} "I don't think so. At least, I hope not."

{Shulato} "Yeah."

{Reiga} "Shall we get going?"

{Hyuga} "I have to hurry!"

{Hyuga} "What happened here?"

{Lakshu} "Mii and the others are late. I hope they get back soon. If 
not..."

{Lakshu} "Oh, great! Everyone's okay! Oh, wait, the one who went to find 
Hyuga isn't back, yet. Oh, well, we have to hurry, anyway. Come one, Mii, 
Minchi."

{Dan} "The village isn't too far. I bet I'll get there first. I don't 
think there's anything to worry about. What could have happened?"

{Dan} "Who's there?"

{Kuuya} "Nice work, Dan."

{Kuuya} "Kuuya!"

{Kuuya} "I thought I'd hidden myself completely, but you noticed me, 
anyway. You've improved, Dan."

{Dan} "I guess. By the way, did you get here before me?"

{Kuuya} "No."

{Dan} "Then who-"

{Dan} "Renge!"

{Renge} "You have improved, Dan."

{Dan} "Hey, don't start talking like Kuuya! It's nice to have the three 
of us together again, though."

{Kuuya} "Wasn't Ryouma from this village?"

{Dan} "He's late."

{Renge} "I'm worried about why she wanted us all here."

{Dan} "Don't worry about it. Tenkuukai is peaceful again. It's probably 
nothing."

{Kuuya} "I hope so, but..."

{Dan} "There they are."

{Shulato} "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

{Reiga} "But here we are."

"Shulato! Reiga!"

{Kuuya} "You got here fast, Shulato."

{Shulato} "So did you!"

{Dan} "How about an arm-wrestling match?"

{Kuuya} "Dan!"

{Shulato} "Okay, let's do it!"

{Reiga} "Hey, are you serious?"

{Renge} "Begin!"

{Reiga} "Do they even understand what's going on? They don't even know 
why they came here."

{Kuuya} "But Lakshu should be here by now... Oh, I guess we should call 
her Lady Lakshu now."

{Reiga} "Why? She's the same person. Lakshu is Lakshu."

{Renge} "Shulato wins!"

{Dan} "I want a rematch!"

{Shulato} "Gladly!"

{Lakshu} "Hi, everyone! Hi!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "I missed you, Shulato!"

{Reiga} "Not much of an entrance for someone who's supposed to be Lady 
Vishnu's replacement."

{Lakshu} "But-"

{Kuuya} "By the way, Lakshu, what was this trouble you warned us about?"

{Shulato} "Yeah, why'd you have us all meet here?"

{Lakshu} "Well, it's... a wedding!"

{Lakshu} "Ow!"

{Shulato} "No way! I didn't... I..."

{Dan} "Don't be so shy, Shulato! You lucky dog!"

{Shulato} "Hey!"

{Reiga} "The fiance of a Harmony Goddess, huh? I'm jealous!"

{Shulato} "Reiga!"

{Lakshu} "That's not it!"

{Renge} "What do you mean?"

{lakshu} "The one getting married is-"

{Ryouma} "It's finished."

{Lakshu} "This is Matsuri. She's the bride!"

{Shulato} "How'd Ryouma get a cutie like that?"

{Reiga} "Poor naive Shulato. Love knows no boundaries."

{Lakshu} "I sensed it when I was meditating. Ryouma's spent the last year 
building a statue of Lady Vishnu. Today it's finished and he's coming 
home. So let's give them a wedding party!"

{Dan} "Ryouma's late."

{Renge} "It's rude to keep a bride waiting."

{Kuuya} "Hyuga isn't here, either."

{Lakshu} "There!"

{Matsuri} "Ryouma!"

{Ryouma} "Sorry to be late."

{Reiga} "Nice entrance!"

{Renge} "Congradulations, Ryouma!"

{Ryouma} "Lakshu! Everyone! Thank you!"

{Lakshu} "Is the statue of Lady Vishnu finished?"

{Ryouma} "It's on the mountain on the other side of the lake. It'll 
always be watching over us from there."

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "What's this for?"

{Reiga} "Do you know what catching that wreath means?"

{Reiga} "Whoever catches the wreath thrown by the bride will be the next 
to get married."

{Shulato} "Here, Kuuya. You can have it."

{Kuuya} "What would I do with that?"

{Shulato} "Dan!"

{Shulato} "No way!"

{Dan} "You caught it, so it's yours!"

{Shulato} "But I didn't know!"

{Kuuya} "It's too late for that, Shulato."

{Reiga} "Besides, you don't want to disappoint Lakshu!"

{Shulato} "Cut it out, guys!"

{Renge} "Hyuga's late."

{Renge} "Blood?"

{Renge} "Everyone!"

{Lakshu} "That's the naga that went to find Hyuga!"

{Lakshu} "Hey!"

{Lakshu} "Hang on! Are you okay? What happened to Hyuga?"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Poor thing. I came all the way here."

{Kuuya} "Something must have happened to Hyuga."

{Ryouma} "Let's go! Something strange is happening."

{Shulato} "But Ryouma, what about your wife?"

{Ryouma} "Will you wait for me? My friend is in danger. Do you 
understand?"

{Matsuri} "Yes."

{Shulato} "Okay! Let's go! Let's find what happened to Hyuga!"

{Narrator} "At a time of peace, at Ryouma's and Matsuri's wedding, danger 
suddenly strikes. What has happened to Hyuga? Will Tenkuukai be at war 
once again?"

{Renge} "Hyuga..."

[ED]

{Shulato} "We travel to the mountains to find Hyuga, but he's nowhere to 
be found. I hope he's okay! While searching, we're attacked by a strange 
wave. That's... Charm-water? Next on Shulato: 'Smash the Charm-water, the 
Shadow Attacking Tenkuukai'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
