Bon Festival is an annual event where the lids of hell are released allowing the dead to return to the world of the living.
Every Gokusotsu looks forward to this day as it is an equivalent of a summer vacation and Shiro, Kakisuke and Rurio were no exception. The open stalls were bustling with people and the scent of grilled Wagyu steak in the air was something Shiro just couldn't resist.
To their surprise, Hozuki was also there wearing a demon mask and enjoying himself to the fullest.
As the Bon Festival came and went, Enma-cho was back in business.
Hozuki silenced the dead that was in his way and as if nothing had happened stated that the dead to be put on trial will be arriving late.
The Great King Enma decided to take a rest but the last minute trials before the Bon Festival seemed to have left him a sore throat.
What will Hozuki do?
「盂蘭盆地獄祭」
地獄にお囃子が鳴り響く。
今日は年に一度の獄卒達の楽しみ、盂蘭盆地獄祭の日。
盂蘭盆は、地獄の釜の蓋も開いて亡者が現世に戻る、つまり獄卒の夏季休暇。
初めての盂蘭盆祭を楽しみながら歩くシロ・柿助・ルリオの三匹。
立ち並ぶ露店からは威勢のいい掛け声が聞こえ、和牛ステーキの焼けるいい匂いがシロを誘う。
そんな三匹の前に現れたのは、鬼のお面をかぶり、祭りを全力で楽しむ鬼灯!
「雑談閻魔大王」
盂蘭盆祭も終わり、通常業務に戻った閻魔庁。
閻魔大王への報告を遮る亡者の恨み節を力ずくで黙らせた鬼灯は、
何事もなかったかのように、裁判にかけられる亡者達の到着が遅れると伝え直す。
閻魔大王、思いもかけず出来た時間に休憩を取ろうとするが、どうも喉の調子がよくなく咳払い。
盂蘭盆祭前の駆け込み裁判が多く、
また声を張り過ぎたせいで喉を傷めたかも、と話す閻魔大王に鬼灯がした事とは?
Llega el Festival de Obon, un momento en el que Hozuki y sus lacayos pueden divertirse, aunque eso no evitará las típicas situaciones con los muertos. Después, Hozuki y el Rey del Infierno tendrán una charla distendida.
