Hey, Yu.
Why did you leave me behind?
You'll keep having this dream until you answer the question.
This is the darkness inside you.
And I am...
I am your power. Let me know when you feel like your spirit's going to break.
If you surrender yourself to me, I'll get the revenge for you.
Oh, by the way, Yu. You're--
Finally.
Finally, I get to go kill vampires.
Mika.
"Mitsuba's Squad"
My, my, Yu. You look pretty good in uniform.
Oh, Shinoa. You also...
Hm?
Never mind.
"You're drop-dead gorgeous in uniform, Shinoa."
So, what do you want?
I'm here to give you your orders.
My orders?
Vampires from the Kansai region are planning on taking back Shinjuku.
So I can kill vampires if I go to Shinjuku?
Please don't seek blood too much from the get-go.
We need to strengthen our defense at Shinjuku before the battle to--
Hey, are you listening?!
Nope, I'm not.
If you keep that up, you won't survive outside the wall.
We're the Moon Demon Company of the Vampire Extermination Unit. We're going out.
The Moon Demon Company?
Those elite squads?
But they're just kids.
Idiot, they'll hear you.
Yu, they're calling you a kid.
They're talking about you, because you're short.
No, no. I'm still developing.
After all, my sister, Mahiru, was a beautiful girl with huge rack.
Oh? You have a sister?
She's already dead.
I'm sorry.
Oh, now you're showing a reserved attitude?
OK, shall we go?
In a completely devastated world like this...
...there isn't anyone left anymore who hasn't lost someone important.
Lieutenant Colonel Guren! I don't understand!
Why am I placed in a squad full of newbies?!
--What's going on? --I've been in the Extermination Unit since 13!
--I'm not sure. A new member, perhaps? --I've been in the Extermination Unit since 13!
Let's go.
Hey, hold on.
Oh, Yu!
You're late, stupid Yu.
Who are you calling "stupid Yu"? Anyway, what's going on?
I could at least understand if I became the squad leader to train these newbies.
But Shinoa Hiragi with her stupid smile is the squad leader?!
Oh, you guys are all here.
Ah! You're here, Shinoa Hiragi.
Yup, I'm here, Mitsu.
Damn!
Don't fight, Shinoa. Mitsuba's gonna be in your squad--
Of course! I'll be fine, Lieutenant Colonel!
I'm mature, so an incompetent loser's whining doesn't mean a--
I'm gonna beat you up!
If you're gonna keep being a pain, I'll throw you in solitary confinement.
Oops.
I'm sorry.
I'll head to Shinjuku from a different route. Before I go, let me make it clear.
This is your new comrade, Mitsuba Sangu.
The Moon Demon Company usually moves in five-man teams.
Less than that can lead to deaths when encountering an armed vampire.
From the moment you go past those walls,
you will not fight each other and you will not fly solo, no matter what. Got it?
You heard him. Got it, Mr. Reckless?
I can't make any promises.
If a vampire's before me, even if I'm by myself--
What's the big idea?
Hmm, your reflexes are good.
I understand, Lieutenant Colonel Guren.
So you want me to train him, right?
A troublemaker as a trainer?
How am I a troublemaker?!
Jeez, they're all pains in the ass.
If you feel that way, then they must be real pains in the ass.
Did you say something?
Nope, not at all.
Did it hurt?
Hmm... A little.
Anyway! These guys here are your comrades.
Comrades trump family. Protect them with your life.
Tsk.
Now, here's your first mission.
First, go to Harajuku.
There's a settlement where the vampires hunt humans, making them livestock.
Crush them and free the people. Then head to Shinjuku.
Wow. I haven't been out since being under the Demon Army's custody, but this is...
Before the general ed class, you two were patrolling outside as guards, right?
Uh, yeah.
So what if you've killed the weak Four Horsemen of Johns around the spell-cast wall.
Don't get full of yourself.
The monsters called the Four Horsemen of John
are dramatically stronger once you're over half a mile from the wall.
They're nothing like what you've fought before!
One little slip will lead to death here!
Don't chit-chat and break formation!
Stay on your toes if you don't want to die, amateurs!
What's with her?
Real cute, isn't she?
She's feeling the responsibility of having a newbies' life in her hands.
It's the Harajuku Station.
Our assigned area.
So, where's the settlement of vampires...?
A Four Horsemen of John!
Crap!
Don't move, idiot!
What?!
Don't break formation!
Save me!
What do you mean?!
Hey! Quit fooling around!
Shut up!
What good is the Vampire Extermination Unit if you can't save one kid?!
Shut up!
Let me go!
This is a vampire's trap! If we try to save her now, we could all die!
Even if I have to be the bait, I'll save her.
Shut up! We're going to stand by!
You can stand by yourself!
I'm through living a life by leaving somebody behind!
Wait!
--Tsk! --Yu!
Please don't move. The vampires are coming. Be on alert.
She's bait to lure us out.
Bait? Are you kidding?
The Four Horsemen of John has no will. Why would it obey the vampires?
They aren't obeying. Those monsters only attack humans,
as if they're punishing us for multiplying too much.
Run!
You idiot!
They're coming!
See?! They toss bait to the monsters to catch humans that come to help.
Stupid humans.
It's the vampire's oldest trick in the book! Keep your distance!
Lend me your power, Asuramaru!
Who is this guy?
Hyakuya!
Your back is wide open, stupid Yu.
Yoichi, Kimizuki... You guys...
Cursed Gears.
They're the Vampire Extermination Unit.
Call for backup. We're going to capture them.
Let's see you try!
Hold it right there, Yu. We're going to retreat.
Damn livestock. We won't let you get away.
Huh? What did you just say?
Let's fall back.
I won't let you get away.
Yu, this is behind the enemy lines! We need to go before their backup comes!
Fine.
What were you thinking?! Your actions put your squad in danger!
We were lucky those vampires only had 2nd class weapons! If they...!
Yeah, you're exactly right. But I don't regret it.
We had to save her. But I am sorry about it.
You can punch me all you want if it'll make you feel better.
I hate people like you the most.
It's people like you who lead the team to annihilation.
Um... thank you.
Don't mention it. We only did what we were supposed to.
You're OK now. From now on, the Japanese Imperial Demon Army will protect you!
OK!
But, I hate you!
What...?
Well, you know... Mitsuba has a dark past of her own, so please be nice to her.
Huh? What do you mean?
That's a secret.
What is wrong with that Yuichiro Hyakuya guy?! Ignoring orders and flying solo!
I'm never going to accept him as one of the Moon Demon Company members!
Despite the two clashing hard,
they're gradually drawn to each other, falling...
...not in love!
Do you hate Yu that much?
I do. I hate guys who put their comrades at risk.
It gets to you, because it reminds me of yourself back in the day, doesn't it?
Idiot! Don't get ahead of yourself! Keep the formation--
Who cares about formation! Our comrade's about to die!
Yes!
Idiot...
Oh, no...
Hurry up and go.
There was nothing you could've done in that situation.
The squad wasn't annihilated because you broke the forma--
Shinoa.
Yes?
Don't come in while I'm showering.
Come on, don't be so shy!
--W-W-Wait a minute! Stop it! --Take that!
Tickle, tickle, tickle!
What are the girls doing?
"Premium Milk"
I have something I want to ask you. Is that all right?
It's about the hiding place of the vampires that you were captured at.
Oh, but you don't have to answer if you don't want to. If it's hard for you--
My, I feel refreshed!
Jeez, Shinoa.
I don't mind. I want to show my appreciation.
You don't need to. Don't worry about things like that.
If you'll smile every day and live happily from now on, then that's enough.
Tsk!
Huh?
Jeez!
What?!
It's Omotesando.
What? Huh?
It's at the Omotesando Station.
According to her, the vampires are raising the humans
at the alley of the Omotesando subway station.
Question.
Yes, Kimizuki?
What are we going to do with the captured civilians?
We'll ignore them for now.
We don't have enough room to worry about other people.
"In Return for Blood"
What's that face for? If you have a problem, you can go back to Shibuya.
Who said I have a problem? As long as I can kill the vampires, then--
Also, if the vampires are awake and armed, we'll retreat.
What?! Retreat again?
This is it.
"Omotesando Station"
"Ginza line ------- Chiyoda line"
Honestly, you may be able to manage since you have the Black Demon Series,
but if we're gonna do it, we might as well kill them all without a scratch.
So, don't act arbitrarily.
I won't. Killing them all without a scratch. I like that.
Let's go, then.
The blended white,
the bird cage in the corner,
and flower buds with a heartbeat.
The abandoned voices, dizzy from the shadow of memories.
I need your blood.
I chant, "you read love."
The red lights struggle.
The sound that I sniffed out
and the reason that I forced open
simply line up parallel.
Come on, break it down for me.
A river will flow.
The never-ending lust, even though
the bell of interest rings.
Even the confession dried out,
and the intent played by the quadruple-time is traced back.
The red in the sunshine streaming through the leaves is making noise.
Next time on Seraph of the End, "First Extermination."
