Release Ga Rei!
Byakuei!
Byakuei, eat them.
It looks like it's not around here, Yomi.
Yeah.
Maybe it's where Iwahata-san and them are?
Let's go look somewhere else, Kagura.
Ah, wait!
It's close!
Hey! What're you two doing!
What're you two doing!
What?
Cover your ears!
Ranguren!
That's...
Category B — Yamabiko!
That's the source of the communication disruption?
We'll attack it one after the other.
Okay?
Okie-pocky!
What?
Dodge!
That's...
Kagura, fall back!
Ranguren!
Houkouha!
No way!
Yomi!
I'm fine!
Chase the Yamabiko!
Geez! Quit imitating me!
I told you to quit imitating me!
You!
Yomi!
Sorry I'm late.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
There were others?!
What should we do, Yomi?
Don't accidentally slice me, okay?
That's...
Yomi! Use the Houkouha!
...Houkouha!
Mei-neesan!
Hurry!
Ranguren! Houkouha!
Now!
Good work.
Mei-neesan.
It has been a while.
Long time no see.
Mei-san, were you chasing them too?
I've been watching you fight.
Too many useless movements.
As a rule, the Yamabiko always work as a group.
You should know that.
I'm sorry.
If you give it more thought,
you could probably decrease the damage to the city.
You need to concentrate more.
Nue, the sacred beast that has been passed down in the Isayama family for generations.
That great power, if not appropriately used by someone with excellent abilities,
will only be wasted.
Just because you're in the family that bequeaths it doesn't mean that you are qualified to inherit it.
Take care.
I see.
So Mei-chan helped.
I want her to be on the team.
Kiri-chan, can you try getting her?
She refused.
Oh? Already been dumped?
It seems that she wants to be independent for the time being.
I think she probably finds it hard to work in the same place as Isayama Yomi, considering the position she's placed in.
Well, that is true.
Anything else?
There is a trend, an increase in the number of Category D — human-origin specters.
Previously there were few appearances; they had limited potency and it was not a large problem.
Lately, they have been locally concentrated and are increasingly the cause of supernatural disasters.
When the bad ki accumulates,
it will call to the specters around it,
and accumulate even more bad ki.
I wonder what causes the initial bad ki.
Due to the previous incident,
we are currently dividing disposal of Category D's among the team, excluding Tsuchimiya Kagura,
but we will eventually need to allot her a share as well.
You're right,
but it'll probably take some time.
Right.
Maybe Yomi-chan is too good of a sister.
She brought up Kagura to be a sweet child.
They're very close...
...if they were ordinary people, that is.
In our line of work, that proves fatal at times.
Your journey is long this time.
Are you still chasing after it?
I understand your feelings, but I'm really concerned about your excessive attachment to it.
Don't worry.
Even if I'm taking revenge for my wife, being reckless and superficial has never crossed my mind.
I just want to make sure that it's settled, that's all.
Your job is to live long.
Being reckless and shortening your life won't help that girl.
Our family doesn't live long to begin with.
In my case, it is certain that Yomi will succeed me.
I can die anytime.
The same can't be said for you.
It is still too early to pass the burden you shoulder on to that girl.
Just because you're in the family that bequeaths it doesn't mean that you are qualified to inherit it.
Mei-san sure is strict.
Tsuchimiya!
Let's swim together!
Your lunch break will end, you know.
I'm not in the swimming club.
It's okay!
We're having an open swim.
Also, I'm hurt.
The chlorine might disinfect it, too!
Now you've done it!
Geez, the gauze is all wet.
You need to be careful or you'll make the wound worse.
I'm sorry.
Idiot.
Whose fault was it?
Don't be rowdy in the infirmary.
Okay.
At any rate, how did you get this wound?
I... broke a glass...
Be careful.
You're a girl.
Okay.
Now that I think of it, there was something in the news this morning about all the windows on a building suddenly breaking.
I heard about that!
Maybe it was a terrorist attack.
I heard that the long communications disruption they couldn't repair mysteriously stopped immediately after the incident.
Communication disruption?
If that communication disruption had continued in the Marunouchi office areas,
it would have affected the stocks and trades,
creating a huge economic loss.
If that happened, it would've affected the economy, and your allowance might've gone down.
Eh? Really?
I'm glad it stopped.
Okay, it's done.
Be careful next time, okay?
Thank you, Sensei.
What are you grinning for, Tsuchimiya?
Eh? I'm not.
I know!
You're happy that Misuzu-sensei wrapped the bandage for you.
That's because Tsuchimiya likes older people.
That makes me happy.
Why does it have to become like that?
You need to go now, afternoon classes are about to start.
Oh no!
We'll come and play again!
This is not a place to play!
Ah, Tsuchimiya-san.
Yes?
If you're worried about the bandage, come immediately.
I'll change it for you.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
Ah, Kiri-chan.
It's the information from the observation center.
It seems that small yet active spiritual pressures have appeared around the Chiyoda-ku area,
making the spiritual power field unstable.
Notify everyone concerned to be on alert.
Tell the observation team to continue monitoring it.
Yes, ma'am.
This is a strange movement.
I hate it.
I want to have cream croquette today.
That's tough, you know.
You're the one who's going to make it, so it's no problem.
Eh? Me?
Underlings have to follow the boss's orders.
You used to make everything for me.
Eh? Frozen?
Don't ask too much.
Mom's busy.
What else?
Sweets!
On that I agree!
Hey, Yomi.
What is it?
I'm being helpful, aren't I?
What are you saying?
You're thinking about what Mei-neesan said?
It's okay.
That isn't something that you should be worried about.
We're home!
Welcome home,
both of you.
That's right, Kagura.
Your father is back.
He looks tired.
You should go back and see him sometimes.
It'll make him happy.
Okay.
Kagura?
Yes, I got here just now.
I will help.
Are you all right?
As long as I'm not dead.
It takes time, but I'm being healed by the power of the Death Stone.
You don't have to worry.
But, it must have hurt, right?
That too is part of the job.
What's wrong with your leg?
This morning, while doing my job...
You let your guard down, huh?
I'm sorry.
I'll be careful.
You will one day inherit the Byakuei.
You won't be able to inherit it with weak willpower.
Yes.
The sacred beast, Ga Rei Byakuei, is a dreadful beast with a terrifying mind that devours everything.
Our ancestors were able to seal Byakuei in their bodies by merging their souls with the beast,
and for generations, we have handed down Byakuei and protected that seal.
If we release the seal and invoke it,
we can use it as a power to fight against the demons.
But,
once a soul is linked to Byakuei, you can never unlink it.
The time Byakuei parts with us is when we reach the end of our lives,
when our soul is ripped from our body.
Remember it well, Kagura.
Yes.
Become stronger.
This is the agency calling all teams.
Category C's are appearing all over the metropolitan area.
Everyone disperse. Eliminate and exorcise them on sight.
One after another and in swarms,
just what the hell is happening today?
The areas around here have been cleansed.
Where's the next one?
This disturbance in the aura...
...something with a strong spiritual power is moving.
I'll leave the weaklings to them.
Kagura, how are you doing?
There are plenty of Category C's here,
but why this many all of a sudden?
I don't know.
For the time being, let's split up and exorcise them.
Can you do it alone?
Yes.
Okay, later.
Next one...
Yacchi, it's already dark outside, you know.
Just a little more and I could've cut it under a minute, though...
We wouldn't have to work hard if it's easy.
It cut me.
Eh?
Ouch! Who the hell left a hairpin in here?
Everyone already left.
Maybe Sensei in the infirmary already left too.
Doesn't matter, as long as they have adhesive plaster in there.
What if it's locked?
Somehow, school at night is scary, don't you think? Like something's coming out.
Stop it.
It's often the case.
Like the spirit of a schoolboy who killed himself appearing or something.
Stop it.
Yacchi, the wound on your foot is bleeding.
Eh? That's not mine.
What's that?
Someone collapsed.
I lost it.
Or was it the wrong target?
Butterflies?
Show your face!
What are you going to do after you see me?
I'll eliminate those who spread the taint of death to the human world.
Interesting.
Are you the one who summoned the evil spirits?
That may be possible.
It seems that they're attracted to the power of my stone.
Stone?
Yes. The Death Stone.
You!
You have quite splendid ulterior motives within.
Envy, anger, hatred...
Oh? You want to steal as well?
What?
You see,
this stone draws bad souls...
...like butterflies to a flower.
It's no use, I can't run anymore.
Even the Mouryou?
Kagura.
No, go away.
Please.
Stop it.
Sensei!
It is our job to eliminate those who spread the taint of death to the human world.
It is our job to eliminate...
Tsuchimiya?
Next time on Ga Rei Zero: Chains of Remorse.
