You guys will have to search the forest for a lantern to light up.
Only those who manage to light a lantern and bring it back to camp within three days
will be given the right to join in actual missions.
However, there are only three stone lanterns out there.
Simply put, only three chances to get that privilege are available.
It's a pretty dark forest, so even the smallest light will stand out.
Huh?
I'm telling ya not to let yer flames out.
This training camp is our key to advancing to the next level, right?
However, as soon as we start this...
We'll be at each other's throats.
Get set...
Whoa, that's a lot!
These things suck blood?!
Are they a kind of moth?
O Harvest god, I humbly pray to thee...
Please grant me my wishes, as I have asked with my plea!
Nii-chan, get the insect repellant Ru out!
Nii-chan!
Shiemi?
Shiemi!
What happened?!
Shiemi!
Get lost!
I got one too.
It's Konekomaru.
He found a lantern!
"I can't do it myself. Let's team up."
Phone Contents: I found a stone lantern. I know this is going to be impossible for me to accomplish alone, so let's all team up!
Well, this really isn't something you can carry on your own.
After seeing that thing, I think we might have taken the wrong approach to this.
Yeah. We'll need everyone to cooperate if we're going to get through this.
Rin, you're amazing!
What planet did you come from, Okumura-kun?
I came up with a plan.
H-Hang on tight!
Okay.
It's so high!
All right, go!
It saw us!
Here I am!
What the hell are you calling it for?!
Khan!
We did it!
Wow, what a relief!
Okumura!
This is bad!
I can't move.
Rin!
I'll be fine.
I'll catch up after I defeat this thing.
You guys go ahead.
You're pulling this shit on us again?
Sorry!
You idiot! We're not bailing on you!
Shima, lend me your staff!
Be careful with it.
Get ready to run!
Homage to the all-pervading Vajras...
Destroy!
Krik!
That's awesome!
Come here, quick!
This is all I can do for now!
Run for it!
Didn't you kill that thing just now?!
Act of Kindness
The Fifteenth Story
I don't think it's chasing us anymore.
We're saved.
Thanks a load, Suguro.
I only returned the favor.
Favor?
In a way, you also saved me before.
You and I have the same goal of defeating Satan,
but you have no problems telling everyone about it.
Well, I'm a pretty big idiot, so I don't really think about what I say.
You're no idiot.
But you know, don't keep trying to fix everything by yourself!
You have friends who can help you!
I knew Bon had it in him to say something that good.
You're not going to be able to defeat Satan by yourself.
I'm no juggernaut, but I'm still pretty capable.
Well, I'm useless if we're going to be dealing with bugs though.
Everyone...
Rin, everyone's here for you.
Yeah.
Now that it's been brought up, Shima was pretty useless earlier.
Bon, I was trying my best out there!
We all have our own limits, you know!
What if everyone here knew I'm actually Satan's son?
I wonder how they'd take it.
Yes!
We made it back!
Well done. Y'all managed to get back here.
What?!
You guys are here already?!
I just made my familiars do all the work.
Takara finished earlier though.
It took you that long, even with that many people?
Damned slackers!
Just what exactly is he?
What's wrong?
It hurts.
Is everyone here?
It doesn't seem like anyone gave up.
Then the flare from earlier was...
Ouch...
Shiemi?
It's the guy from the amusement park!
Don't just stand there!
Shura!
Go, Behemoth!
I got tired of waiting for ya.
A snake?!
Here I was, thinking I'd be able to watch them while drinking tea,
but that seems impossible now.
This one's a pretty tough cookie, Amaimon.
I want to kill someone!
You can't!
If you even think of killing anyone,
I'll butcher you myself.
All right, I'm sorry.
I'll restrain myself.
An absolute barrier?
Yeah.
This magical array will protect anyone inside it, and repel anything outside.
We're safe for now.
More importantly, who the hell was that?!
Sensei, is this part of the training as well?
Isn't this a little too hard for training?
Your training's over already!
We'll start preparing for Amaimon's next moves.
Amaimon?!
When you said "Amaimon",
were you referring to the Earth King, one of the "Eight Kings"?
Yeah.
You Esquires won't even be able to land a single hit on him.
I'm going to use Triple-C concentration holy water to reinforce your defenses.
Everyone, come here!
Why is—
An important guy...
Is this some kind of jok—
Guess not.
That was close.
It would've been bad if some of this stuff got on ya.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
All right.
With this, any damage you receive until the water dries up will be minimized.
Won't Okumura get some of this stuff as well?
Well...
He's allergic to holy water.
A-An allergy to holy water?!
I've never heard of that before!
What about Yukio?!
He was being a bother, so I sent him some place else.
What's the meaning of this?
The moths in this forest were raised by Tamers, so they shouldn't be attacking anyone.
What's going on here?
What's up with this?! I can't contact the emergency hotline!
I can't get in contact with Sensei either.
What the hell does Amaimon want from us anyway?!
Well, who knows?
Hey.
I don't know why, but he's probably here for me.
I know.
Don't worry so much.
I set up this barrier to specifically keep Amaimon out.
His actions this time look like they were well planned though.
Once he attacks us again,
I want ya to escape with the Fallen Demon sword.
The Fallen Demon sword?
Go below, and you will arrive at where he is.
Here!
Take it.
Hey now, what's wrong? I told ya I'd give it back to ya eventually.
Hey, didn't you want me to suppress my flames?!
You're the one who ordered me to!
Oh shut it, you idiot.
I did tell ya that, but ya already let 'em out anyway.
They were all blue and flashy!
In any case, how are ya gonna fight anyone without using yer flames?
That's...
Amaimon's no pushover.
Have ya considered that yet?
Try usin' yer noggin.
'Kay?
Moriyama-san?
Where are you going?
Shiemi?
Hey, hey, hey!
Stop right there!
That's...
A parasite?!
Shiemi!
What did you do to that girl?!
I made a moth lay some eggs inside her.
Even though it took a while for those parasites to invade her nervous system,
this girl should start obeying me now.
Hold it, Needle Head!
Hey, wait up!
Go!
I'll catch up later!
Okumura!
Make sure ya guys stay inside the barrier, even if it kills ya all!
No way!
He's doing it again!
Wait up!
What are you up to, you bastard?!
What are you planning to do with her?
I wonder...
Oh, I know! I'll make her my bride!
Do you take me, in sickness and in health,
to love me, to care for me, and to help me?
Do you swear to uphold this vow, till death do us apart?
Now then, let's consummate our vows with a kiss.
Don't screw around!
That's my line.
That guy won't go easy on ya!
I wonder why you didn't use your sword.
Stop playing possum already!
That dumbass!
Don't do it, Bon!
Hold it!
Don't go out there!
Bon, simmer down a bit, okay?
Shima, I am pissed as hell right now.
Go feed that crap to the dogs!
Man, what's wrong with him?!
Shima-san!
Are you kidding me?!
Stop it!
You'll die out there!
I can't believe it.
They're all fools.
I can't go after them!
Hello?
Isn't this girl an important person to you?
I wonder why you're not even trying.
Just drop dead.
I guess I don't need this girl anymore then.
Since I've gone through all this trouble, I should probably gouge one of her eyes out.
I have a cousin who loves anything occult related, so she'd probably want one for her collection.
Sto—
You've been ignoring us for a while.
We're butting in!
Stop it, you guys!
Okumura-kun, get out of here when you get the chance!
We're here to save Moriyama-san from that demon.
This won't do. Just run away!
Crap!
Koneko-san, that was a mean thing to do to Moriyama-san!
It looks like broccoli.
Shima!
Shima-san!
Neko!
Konekomaru!
Don't laugh at me.
I don't give a damn about you.
The only person I'm pissed at right now
is you, Okumura!
You always run off to save people without thinking about yourself.
You don't have any special abilities, but you still manage to pull it off.
You're a flipping mystery!
What the hell are yo—
What are you talking about?
I don't like being ignored, you know.
Stop it!
Everyone...
You're not going to be able to defeat Satan by yourself.
I'm no juggernaut, but I'm still pretty capable.
Rin, everyone's here for you.
You have friends who can help you!
Everyone...
What else can I say?
You're all really nice.
Nii-san!
It's a trap!
Don't fall for it!
I'm sorry, Yukio.
I've been lying to everyone here all this time.
That's why I...
I...
want to use my flames for an act of kindness.
Come! I'm your opponent!
What's that?
What happened to Okumura-kun?
A demon sword...
The Fallen Demon sword.
It's beautiful!
Burn to ash!
A demon's tail is one of its weaknesses.
He'd do well to always keep it hidden.
There are a lot of things he has to learn.
He should begin by finding out what he desires most.
Good.
Hey, ya guys all right?
Where were you?!
I was busy fightin' Amaimon's pet! It ran out on me halfway through our tussle!
This place is dangerous now.
We're outta here.
Yer an idiot for lookin' after a monster like him, Shiro.
This is gonna get interesting.
A demon's natural instinct is to go against those who seek happiness.
Living among humans, it's only natural that problems will arise.
Now then, which path will you choose?
Rin?
What's with this power?!
It's just like Father's!
Wonderful!
Who knew you could push Amaimon this far?
You've had enough.
Take a rest.
Eins, Zwei, Drei!
Kuchen Cuckoo Clock!
Now then...
He's been completely consumed by his own flames.
My, my...
What a troublesome little brother you are.
Well, that shade of blue...
Next Episode
Isn't it the same as that night?
Is that demon there Satan's child?
It's just as you say.
I will execute Satan's child!
A Gamble
