This 'Japan' place...
Even though it isn't all that big, the climate throughout it sure varies a lot.
Amaimon!
I didn't give you that eternal key just so you could visit some random places.
That's...!
Isn't that the highly prized 'Honey Honey Sisters' yukata?!
This is something I just found normally.
Well done!
Now this exemplifies the heart of Japan!
A samurai spirit...
Along with the wonderful world of moe!
I'm overjoyed to have such a competent little brother.
By the way, Brother...
Is he here?
Yes.
He's there.
An amusement park?
So you're finally in the mood to play, huh?
A Game of Tag
The Twelfth Story
When people go to theme parks,
it's usually on dates, and not something like this.
How did your previous mission go, Shima-san?
Our mission, huh?
It involved a lot of squids.
Squids, you say?
Squids.
What a damned joke.
What?!
I guess we can't help it if some people here have it easier than others.
Now, now.
Sorry for being late.
Shiemi, what happened with your kimono?
The principal said I shouldn't wear kimonos during missions,
so he gave me a new uniform to wear.
We're late because Kamiki-san had to teach me how to wear it properly.
Why did I have to?
It looks weird on me, doesn't it?
It's nice! You look pretty cute in that, Moriyama-san.
Thanks.
How do I say this…
Isn't her skirt a bit too short?
Right, Yukio?
Why are you asking me?
Come on, it's not like you were looking at her boob—
That hurt, Four-Eyes!
Well, now that everyone's here...
I'm going to start grouping you into pairs.
Niwa goes with Takara.
Yamada's with Suguro.
Why?
Kamiki, you're with Shima.
Okumura, go with Moriyama.
I'm with Rin!
We've received reports of ghost sightings here in Mepphy Land.
Due to the sheer number of witnesses and damage reports we've been getting,
you have all been tasked with investigating this place.
Try to find out where the ghost that's causing this is,
then contact either me or Tsubaki-sensei on our cellphones if you get any leads.
Well then, can anyone tell me what a ghost is?
Kamiki-kun?
Yes.
Ghosts are demons that appear in a vapor-like form, and can possess material objects like animal or human corpses.
They tend to harbor the last emotion they felt when they were still alive.
Very good.
Umm, how many ghosts are there?
Although there have been sightings in a lot of areas, we've confirmed that there's only one.
It's reported to have the physical appearance of a little boy.
Its usual activities include arm pulling and skirt flipping.
What? Skirt flipping?!
That's pretty childish of it.
Oh yeah, it is one.
If we leave it alone for too long, it could turn dangerous.
It should be a piece of cake with this many people.
Are there any questions?
Well then, that'll be all.
You're dismissed!
Rin, you can keep watch on the right side.
I'll handle this side.
Sure.
Those clothes look really good on her.
Wait, isn't this...
Sorta like a d-date?!
Hey, are you all right?
Shiemi, what's wrong?!
Your face looks really messed up!
Are you mad about something?
It's not that.
I'm just trying to keep myself from smiling.
Huh?
Hey, wait for me!
You're acting weird!
Shiemi?
I've always wanted to go to an amusement park.
But I always felt awkward around people when I was young,
so I never got to visit one.
Normally, I wouldn't enjoy being around so many people.
But if it's the present me, then...
T-Then...
Let's hang out here together next time!
Sure!
Really?!
D-Do you really mean it?
Yes.
I absolutely do!
All right!
Let's decide where we'll look next.
Okay!
Rin?
It's a voice.
A voice?
Why is it moving on its own?
He's coming.
That was amazing, Rin!
How did you know that?
Well...
I'm just good at this, I guess.
Hey, why are you crying?
Don't just go talking to demons like that!
This guy looks really small and harmless though.
Hey! How long are you going to keep crying?!
You didn't have to scold him like that.
Well, I only wanted to...
Because I was always sick...
So my parents promised me that we would go to the amusement park if I got better.
But I died, so I wasn't able to hold up my end of the promise.
I see. You must've been lonely, huh?
Shut up, you old hag!
Stupid! Stupid!
That little brat!
Even I wanted to tou—
Wait up, you little...!
Rin?
Just wait for me!
Wait!
Where did that perverted little brat go?
Rin, I'll go look over there.
Sure.
There!
Idiot!
Hey, wait!
If you really want to catch me, then keep trying!
Ouch.
Why is he doing all this?
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to report back that I found him.
Who the hell are you?! Give it back!
Who am I?
Oh, right...
The name's Amaimon,
the Prince of Demons.
I'm somewhat of an older brother to you.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, and I won't be giving this back.
A demon?
So this is the Fallen Demon sword.
Hey, give that back!
Well now, let's see how this works.
Try to look around more seriously!
Found you!
Old hag!
I'll definitely catch you next time!
Please stop this!
Stop!
Stop playing with it!
I see. This sword has a small, direct connection to Gehenna.
This sheath must be the gate holding it.
When the sword is sheathed, the connection closes. When it's drawn, it opens up again.
Damn it! Make up your mind!
All right, I choose this.
So your flames stem from Gehenna, even though your body's here in Assiah.
That's enough!
You broke the head off from my brother's statue!
Bastard!
What are you planning?!
My plans? I'm just messing around since I have some free time.
Now then, since this is an amusement park and all,
let's try to have some fun!
What?
Okumura-kun, did you turn the power back on?
No, I didn't do anything.
That aside, have you noticed anything there, Sensei?
Now that was pretty cool.
I learned some Japanese games earlier.
Oni-san, come around! Chase after this clapping sound!~
You bastard!
Don't make fun of me!
Hey, wake up you old hag!
Wait.
Catch me if you can!
Oni-san, over here!~
Wait!
Could that child be...
Because I...
was sick...
I've always wanted to go to an amusement park.
Could he just be feeling the same way I did?
If he is, then...
All right! I guess I don't have a choice!
Wait!
Oh yeah, I went to the ocean the other day.
What's he up to?
No way!
Surfing's really fun!
You bastard!
What?
Here's another game I know.
What's that? What's happening?
I don't think a ghost is causing this anymore.
It's something different.
I don't get it.
Why are Father and Brother so obsessed with this loser?
I'm up here!
What a letdown.
I thought this would've been a good way to kill tim—
Yay! Now we're talking!
An earthquake?
What happened?
Wow! This is like in the movies!
We're done playing tag!
Help!
Shiemi?
You idiot! Run!
I'm not going to make it.
Amazing!
What are you laughing at?!
We could have died, you know!
I'm already dead.
But still...
I was always sick, so I never got to play outside enough
to experience getting hugged or yelled at.
I had lots of fun today because of that.
Thank you, Onee-chan!
What's this? We're done already?
What a drag.
Even though I tried to stop you,
this still happened. I wonder if I should break your sword...
Stop it...
Devour the Seven Princesses,
slay the Serpent!
Who are you?
Aren't you Amaimon, the Earth King?
How did someone like you get into the Academy?
Did Mephisto show you in?
You're such a nuisance.
You're the nuisance here.
So we really are done here.
Until next time.
S-Stop!
Take care!
Hide your tail! People are going to be here any second now!
To have my sword stolen that easily...
Someone as strong as him actually exists.
On top of that, I blacked out and completely lost myself earlier.
This is just like how it was in the past.
Rin, are you all right?
Don't touch me!
Rin?
I'm sorry.
It's nothing.
Putting me aside, are you okay?
What happened to that kid?
He disappeared already, but he thanked me first before he left.
I see.
Rin, let's make sure we have fun the next time we're here!
Sure thing.
Shiemi-san!
Yuki-chan!
Are you all right?
Yuki-chan, Rin's injured, so please give him some treatment.
Nii-san, what happ—?
Yer too slow, Yukio.
You were slacking around, so I had no choice but to move.
It's been a while.
It can't be...
Isn't that Yamada?
I'm sick of this disguise already.
I'm a senior investigator from the True Cross Vatican Branch
sent here to investigate the Japanese Branch's "risk factor".
I'm Kirigakure Shura, an upper first class Exorcist.
Why did you hide the existence of Satan's child?
Next Episode
I had no intention of doing that.
I only did this with the future of the Holy Knights in mind.
Shiro, I want to believe in you.
