s the battle subsided, the sun shone once again in the sky. But Shiranui had succumbed to Orochi's poison, and struggled to breathe. Nagi scooped the beast into his arms and returned to Kamiki. When they reached the village, Shiranui was no longer moving. The village elder gently stroked the wolf's head. In response, Shiranui let out a hoarse and pitiful bark... Then closed its eyes and drifted off, as if into slumber.

[Miyabi takes a breath, to calm herself down a little, then puts her hands together, as if it prayer, linking her fingers together as she speaks, her tone becoming a little more lighthearted.]

Peace had at last returned to Kamiki Village. In honor of Shiranui's heroic exploits, the villagers erected a shrine and placed a statue of the wolf within it. Nagi's sword was christened Tsukuyomi, and placed inside the Moon Cave. The villagers all looked forward to an age of endless peace.
