8The road of blooming red spider lilies, the pathless route that connects to the Mound of the Nameless.

10Here, isolated souls gather easily, thereby making it an extremely sad and lonely place.

12If a connection were created with more people among the living, even after death these souls could exist cheerfully and enjoyably.

17Komachi \"Sir.

19You were a wealthy person before you died, right?

21I know you were a rather plucky soul to keep still after all.\"

23Ghost \"......\"

25Komachi \"Huh?

27What? Your spirit has become confined since you started making money in the outside world, you say?\"

30Komachi \"Ahaha!

32What are you saying, sir?

34Those words are born of jealousy. There's no way I could believe them.\"

36Ghost \"......?\"

38Komachi \"Listen, your current disposition is a quality of all souls.

40It has nothing to do with the amount of money you made.

42On the contrary, if your mindset is good, there are many ways to make money,

44and oppositely, if it's bad, you'll lose what's valuable, and end up with no money at all.\"

46Komachi \"That's why by far there are so many rich people of high value,

48and why so many others become poor with no value at all.\"

52Komachi \"Look, I can already see the other side from here.

54That's also because of your good deeds, sir.

56If you had been bad, countless days might have passed before arriving.\"

58Komachi \"Conversely, those who were jealous and spoke ill behind your back are people of no value.

60Truly, people of value collect all the money, and spend it too.

62In other words, you earn money on behalf of all mankind.

64Oops, I'm lecturing you like I was Buddha aren't I?\"

66Komachi \"Well, since I know that much, a monetary offering-like system would also work.

68Yeah, close to here is that shrine that doesn't understand a thing about how it works,

70but it's a real blunder anyhow. How about it?

72Wanna hear about that do-nothing failure of a shrine? Ah, you don't? I see.\"

74Komachi \"Well then sir, shall I regale you with more familiar tales?

76That's right, are you familiar with the tale of the loyal retainer?

78Ah, I'm sure you know of it.

80In that case, this won't take long. Why don't we relate the unjustness of the story together?\"

82Ghost \"......\"

84Komachi \"Ah. We've already arrived huh.

86Well, you know what to expect after this.

88Eh? You don't really know?\"

90Komachi \"Is that so. I guess people from the outside don't believe in the Yama nowadays.

92In the case of a wealthy soul like yours,

           I'm sure you'll believe if you're granted a good judgment.
Doing bad things, making money, it just has to be.\"

95Her conversations with the souls of the deceased were Komachi's sole amusement.

97Listening to the treasury of these soul's experiences, her grasp on this aspect of her life became clear.

99However, in this place no matter how many souls are given courage, a callous judgment awaits them.

102Ultimately, the Sanzu River passes those who yearn for others through the filter of their personal virtue.

105And even without doing anything which could be considered evil, those humans lacking connections to others cannot even cross over.

107If you do cross the river, what awaits you next is the Yama's judgment.

110This judgment will inquire into the rights and wrongs of the deceased's true conduct.

112It is rumored that there isn't a soul who can go through the Yama's judgment without receiving a tongue-lashing.

114First off, the Yama will heed warnings on even the most trivial matters.

117Spraying insects with insecticide.

119Being jealous of others from the bottom of your heart.

121Telling a harmless white-lie.
