【PC】Suika Niritsu｜水夏贰律【生肉】

赦すことは、愛すること――

訪れてしまう死、過ぎてしまった過ちを後悔しても仕方がない。

それらを受け入れて生きること、人間らしく生きること。

舞台は鬼女伝説が語り継がれる古隠村。

のんびりとした田舎に生きる人たちは、みな明るい表情を見せる。

しかし、その明るい表情の下に、それぞれの深い因縁を背負い続けていた。

夢見がちな少女、真実を追い求める報道部部長、過去に囚われ続ける女、名前の無い女の子。

彼女たちが抱える問題は、やがて10年前の交通事故に収束される。

10年前、ズレてしまった運命の歪みは、彼女たちにどんな結末をもたらすのか？

平和な村に起こる不思議な物語たち。

二胡が奏でる旋律と共にお楽しみください。

"Wheeze... wheeze..."

The sound of the cicadas seeps out from the treetops. I pedal my creaky bicycle, trying to avoid being noticed by people as best I can. About thirty minutes later, I arrive at the approach to an old-fashioned shrine. In front of a ridiculously long flight of stone steps stands a faded torii gate.

Once I step forward from here, there will be no turning back.

The oppressive rays of the sun and the depressingly green leaves, carrying their distinctive stifling odor of the rainy season, weigh heavily upon me.

I can't linger here forever. It would be a disaster if someone saw me burying this thing. If by any chance that were to happen, I would certainly be doomed. Besides, considering the temperature, this thing is going to rot very soon. It is, after all, a mass of proteins -that is to say, a corpse.

I recall last night's events and feel dizzy. The incessant buzzing of the cicadas and the sweat trickling down my throat bring me back to reality. What happened yesterday... was not a dream. With a gulp, I muster my resolve and begin my ascent up the stone steps.

Similar to the original Suika, this sequel is a collection of mysterious love stories: Shinji and Ami, Mitsuhiko and Mei, Takashi and Haruka, and the nameless girl. From the director’s selection quick synopsis, it appears to be quite focused on the drama, similar to true tears. Once again, there’s a nameless girl, but it’s not the same one as the original.
