Excellent work, there!
Sorry it ended up taking so long.
Oh, no, not at all!
Finding out exactly where Kuranashi had damaged the massive Ama-no-mihashira...
I'm impressed you were able to find it so quickly!
That's my Su-chan!
You too, Tatara.
Well?
It's over there.
I see...
Well, now we can finally take actual measures
to ensure no more Dragon Spots open up.
Now, what to do?
Perform the Heavenly Blue Earth Ritual,
which requires a massive amount of spell power?
Or maybe...
It's a good thing you called for a summons.
This may be a chance to explain to the Twin Stars about the Exorcist Union's...
or rather, Arima-sama's plans, if we're lucky.
You're right about that.
I believe that he is in the area, as well.
Should we have him bring them here?
Unomiya Tenma Transcendence
Hey, Benio...
When I grow up, will I have big boobies like Mayura?
With lots of good nutrition... you might.
Hmm, I see...
Okay, I'll get lots of good nutrition!
If you want something different for nutrition, the Benio Special...
would be new-tritious.
New-tritious?
New-tritious!
Don't do it!
No matter how nutritious it is,
you shouldn't drink the Benio Special!
Go with a Rokuro Super Deluxe instead!
Sae!
If you wish to grow up healthy,
nothing can compete with the Benio Special.
Nope!
The Rokuro Super Deluxe!
Benio Special!
Rokuro Super Deluxe! Extra Gold!
Don't casually add to the name.
I want a Benio Special!
Hah.
This is Heaven!
Bath
That was a nice bath.
You took too long, Papa!
Yes?
Hello, Adashino-san?
Dad needs to talk to you—
Come on, Benio...
You still haven't mastered using a cell phone yet?
Otomi Mayura
It's probably just Mayura again, right?
She's been calling all the time lately...
Okay, I'll answer.
Hey, it's me.
You've been kind of annoying lately, y'know?
Well, sorry about that, runt.
Se—
Menacing
Rokuro, you idiot!
Oh, Seigen?
Know what? I got in a big bath with Benio!
There was a pretty picture,
and I learned that the Benio Special makes your boobies big!
It was so much fun!
Well, good for you.
Careful you don't catch a chill after the bath, now.
Make sure your hair is nice and dry.
I'm careful about that myself.
There he goes, the secretly tsundere sweet daddy!
You say something?
Not at all!
All right, little lady, let me talk to the runt again.
Okay!
It seems you don't want to hear from me,
so I will only say this once.
There's a massive Dragon Spot in Kumano.
A Dragon Spot?
I know the Exorcist Union told you
to bring the little lady and head to Kyoto...
But we can't just ignore this thing now that it's opened, right?
Well, there you have it.
It's your call to make.
What's with Seigen?
Is he still mad about what I said before?
So, what are we going to do?
Isn't it obvious? We're going to Kumano!
If a Dragon Spot is open in Kumano, a place that's been
so spiritually active since the old days...
Most likely, he's going to head there.
The runt and the girl probably won't even be able to slow him down.
It's huge...
Okay, Kinako, you can stop around here.
Got it!
Wait!
I just did as the imp said without even thinking about it!
Man, this is so frustrating!
Sae-chan, stay inside the van.
Hey, Benio, I've been wondering...
That stuff about the Benio Special being "new-tritious"...
Was that a pun?
Forget that.
Forget it!
Not gonna happen.
You thought hard, worked up your courage,
and finally made a joke for the first time.
With everything that's been happening, you wanted to make Sae laugh, right?
Something's weird here, isn't it?
Yes.
There are no Kegare, despite that there's such a big Dragon Spot.
Yeah...
And for a while now...
I've felt as though someone's been watching us.
That was close!
The enemy was missing on purpose.
They must enjoy seeing us run around.
But this is more like...
...they're trying to tell us where they are.
It is an honor to have been sent to greet the Twin Star Exorcists.
I have eliminated the Kegare in the area while waiting for you.
My name is Kinasa.
Today, I will be your host for the festivities that will be our battle,
where we will enjoy ourselves to our hearts' content.
You seem awfully calm.
You must think we have no chance of winning as long as you stay away, right?
Which means that's our chance at winning.
Right!
Noble White Fangs!
Soaring Swift Feet, come forth at once!
I'll distract him.
Hey, don't go out there! It's dangerous!
Come on, you can't do this, Sae-chan!
You're being reckless again!
This is... bad...
My spell power... can't keep me going...
Those are fascinating legs.
Meteor Smash!
Meteor Smash
He felt that one.
One hit won't be enough to exorcise him,
but it should've at least done decent damage.
We'll use Resonance to finish him.
Right.
How was that?
Are you sufficiently enjoying the festivities?
Wha...
What?!
It's natural to assume that, since I started with ranged combat,
I would be less effective at close range.
However...
Fighting at a distance is my idea of an apéritif.
What are you talking about?!
Forgive me.
An apéritif is an alcoholic beverage served before a meal.
I suppose the two of you are not yet old enough to indulge—
So you're saying the real fight is about to start?
Consider it to be my hospitality.
Hospitality?
I wield enough power to annihilate most exorcists in an instant,
but I believe doing so to my guests,
the exorcists who've gone to the trouble of attempting to take my life, would be rude.
The attacks of my guests...
Their evolving strategy...
Their desperate resistance when they realize the danger they're in...
I believe that bearing the brunt of it all,
and feeling the fulfillment of battle,
is the greatest, most sincere hospitality that I can show them.
Your explanation is so long, I'm getting bored!
In that case, please enjoy it firsthand.
Benio!
We have to...
...use Resonance!
Burning Blade!
Crimson Cut!
Resonance!
World End Overlay!
World End Overlay
That one...
...had to work!
Are the two of you quite satisfied?
I trust you have realized that you stand no chance of defeating me, yes?
Well, then...
I suppose it is time for you to die.
Do not worry....
I will not kill you in a single blow,
so you will be able to fully enjoy the fear and despair of death.
It will be quite luxurious.
I suppose the lady should enjoy herself first?
Benio!
Sae...
Sae-chan?
Benio, are you okay?
We told you to stay in the van.
I know... I know, but...
If you're gone...
Then I can't drink the Benio Special!
Let's drink it together, okay?
Right.
I see.
I believe this is the young lady that Kuranashi informed me of, then?
Kuranashi?
He told you?
What a rare guest this is.
I must show her my utmost hospitality.
Now, then...
Would you give that hospitality crap a rest?!
Rokuro!
Papa!
I will... protect... Sae-chan!
Benio!
I will entertain the two of you shortly.
Now, then...
This time, I will present to you my utmost hospitality!
Sae!
And who might you be?
I must say, that was a rather brusque arrival...
My, oh my...
If it isn't the man said to be the strongest of the current Twelve Guardians,
the Kijin, Unomiya Tenma.
It's an honor to meet you.
But I must say....
I have met quite a number of rare guests today.
The Kijin, Unomiya Tenma...
That's him?
The strongest of the Twelve Guardians?
One moment.
To cross blades with a master swordsman so suddenly...
It would be like the main dish being served before the rest of the meal.
For your benefit, Tenma-sama, I would like to start the party over.
Wha...
Stay on your toes!
He's strong at close range, too!
Shut up and watch.
I would have liked to entertain you a bit longer...
Such a shame.
Well, then...
Good day to you, sir.
This is...
...the strongest exorcist.
That just leaves this thing...
I guess I forgot my talismans.
Oh, well.
Close!
Wha—
What the...
How is that possible?!
How long are you gonna stand there and stare?
Hmm?
Runt...
And Flatty.
Fla—
Bring the green kid with you.
We're going to Kyoto.
Hey, wait a second!
Benio...
Let's go.
All right.

Saint-Exupéry said it.
"With one person's death, an entire unknown world is lost."
Subaru-sama, is someone going to die?
I'm not saying anything else.
A Promise with Sae Missing Exorcist Master
I'm scared to watch next time...
But you should watch!
