Father?
You called for me?
Yes.
Open that.
It's beautiful!
My wife used to wear it.
If you like, you can wear it.
Can I?
Don't hold back.
It should fit you well.
Thank you!
How's school?
Nothing has changed.
Is your job going well?
Work?
I'm still a part-timer, you know.
Are you close to Noriyuki-kun from the Agency?
Eh?
Yomi, I need to talk to you about something.
It's about the proposed marriage with the Izuna family.
I know that neither of you were very positive about it.
I think it'd be bad to agree to the proposal without involving both of you.
I want to hear how you feel about it once more.
Father.
You took me in as an orphan and raised me to be who I am today.
You had me in mind, hoping that this marriage proposal would help deepen my relationship with the relatives.
I have no reason to oppose you.
I will gladly accept this marriage.
When those blessed eyes reflect shadows of pain
Seinaru hitomi ga itami o utsushitara
turn away. It's a trick to arouse emotions.
Furimuite goran jounetsu hanatsu Trick
The ground below their feet crumbles; the two can't turn back.
Kuzureru ashimoto futari wa modorenai
Don't let go of the hands that reached out to you.
Sashinobeta te o hodokanai de
Those simple days, vanishing one by one.
Kieru yo mata yasashii hibi ga
I won't allow those memories to be tainted.
Omoide o kegasu no wa yurusenai
This is paradise betrayed.
Koko wa uragiri no Tir na nog
Searching for the light in the far reaches of my wayward heart.
Samayou kokoro no hate ni hikari o motomete
Let these prayers reach you.
inoru kotoba todoke anata ni
These imprisoned wings long for open skies.
Toraware no hane ga haruka na sora e to mukau
I want to believe we are not alone.
Shinjitai yo watashitachi kodoku ja nai
We understand
Wakariau
We seek for
motomeau
each other within our bonds
Kizuna no naka
I will not let us separate. (We won't) Destiny begins.
Hanasanai (hanarenai) hajimaru Destiny
Become stronger.
Hey!
Why're you looking so down?
Nori-chan.
It's nothing.
There are more Kudagitsune again?
This one was born a while ago.
It's about time I put it to work.
It must be hard taking care of sacred beasts.
We hand it down to someone in my family line who can serve, and that's enough.
Yours is way tougher.
Hey.
That's still a long way ahead.
Don't think too hard about it.
I'm home.
Welcome home!
W-What? What's wrong with you, Yomi?
Nothing.
Geez, always acting like a kid.
Good morning!
Mornin'!
Good morning.
Nabuu, good morning.
Nabuu too, good morning.
Um, good morning.
Oh, a new spiritual power distribution.
Eh?
If I remember correctly, the ki in this area was strange.
If you're talking about the stationary front at Kameido, it vanished this morning.
Vanished?
Someone probably purified it.
We're not the only ones; there are plenty of freelance exorcists out there.
Maybe the demons are having a hard time now that our comrades in Ichigaya are getting stronger.
Good morning!
Yomi!
Good morning.
Kagura, what did you get on your Modern Literature test?
Why?
I know everything when it comes to you.
Show me your test!
Give it back!
If you already know everything, there's no need for you to see it, don't you think?
Is it this mouth that's making such a fuss?
Ouch! That hurts!
Huh?
What is it?
You smell nice.
Are you using something, Yomi?
No, I'm not.
Nabuu smells something nice.
Nabuu too smells something nice.
You can't deceive Nabuu-san's nose, you know.
This.
I bought this just now.
W-What?
Your eyelashes.
They're longer than usual.
That's wrong?
I do put on some makeup, you know.
I know!
You're going on a date with Nori-chan today!
I'm not!
I don't have any such plan!
Hello!
Ah! Nori-chan!
Something smells bad.
What's this?
It reeks of perfume.
That's me!
Here, this.
It was you, Kagura?
This is a workplace, so don't bring it here.
My family has sensitive noses.
O-Okay.
You don't know how to use perfume, do you, Kagura?
If you put on much, you'll be like an indecent kid.
You just need to pass through the mist, that's all.
If you overdo it, you'll smell like an old lady wearing too much perfume, you know.
Sorry, I spilled it.
Liar!
Do you have something against me?
Not really.
You poured coffee on someone for no reason?
What?
This smell's coming from you, huh?
Don't make it Kagura's fault when you're the one who stinks.
I didn't!
But you're the one with the heavy perfume, aren't you?
Now you've pissed me off!
What do you say when you're pissed off?
What do you think?
Okay, okay, don't call out your sacred beasts in the office.
Now you two, seal Ran-chan and Chibi-chan.
Miss Jinguuji!
And, what happened?
Both of you.
Nothing!
It's what they call a personality conflict.
Huh?
Then, would it be okay if we continue with the marriage proposal, Morisada-dono?
I have no objections.
I'd be more than happy to have him adopted by the Isayama family, bringing our lines together.
If possible, I'd even want to have the ceremony right away.
There is no need to be impatient about it.
The wedding will be after Yomi's graduation.
Agreed.
In the end, it's the peerage and power, huh?
I wanted to celebrate it honestly.
Brother.
Oh, it's been awhile, Yuu.
Yes.
You haven't changed, Brother.
I've spoken about the marriage proposal with the Izuna family.
I see.
I've heard that you'll make Yomi the head of the family once she gets married.
That is true.
It's true that Yomi is still young,
but she has trained herself well and is worthy enough to be called a member of the Isayama family.
There's no need to worry.
But Yomi is an adopted daughter!
You're saying that now?
If I didn't want her to succeed me, I wouldn't have given her Shishiou in the first place.
Then, you mean you're going to give the Isayama heirloom
to someone who isn't a blood relative of the family, Brother?
Yuu, don't tell me you, who rejected fighting and threw away the Isayama family's identity,
want to be head of the family now?
I'm not saying that, Brother.
I'm saying that we don't have to choose someone unrelated to the family to succeed—
Treachery!
It's true that I'm a disgrace for abandoning the Isayama family's work,
but I have a daughter too.
My daughter, Mei, is also a skilled Isayama.
Please think about it one more time.
That is wrong.
Father.
Mei...
Yomi-san is a first-class swordsman.
She even looked after Tsuchimiya's daughter after the loss of her mother.
She is a very reliable person in the Isayama family.
I'm nothing compared to her.
Isn't that right, Uncle Naraku?
A fiancé?
That's right, fiancé.
Fiancé.
Her marriage partner that her father picked.
Somehow, it's romantic.
It's like the world of a shoujo manga.
They're both gifted.
Like a trendy drama-esque kind of thing in reality?
Monday at nine?
TL Note: The prime time for a drama series.
But they haven't been doing well with each other lately.
I'm wondering, what can I do to help them?
Then, how about this?
Now then, I'll explain our strategy.
Is everyone listening?
Yeah...
First, Kazu-chan, dressed as a hoodlum, will attack Yomi.
Huh?
And Nori-chan, who happens to be passing by, will deal with Kazu-chan and save Yomi.
Yomi will then once again fall for Nori-chan's manliness, and both of them will have a happy ending!
You want me to attack... Isayama?
Hey... lady!
No!
That's impossible!
I'll die!
Eh?
Then we'll change the plan,
Nabuu-san will attack Yomi instead of Kazu-chan.
Hurry up and give us your money, Nabuu!
Nabuu!
Nabuu is non no.
Nabuu too is non no!
Eh?
Then, what about you, Iwahata-san?
Forget it.
Other people shouldn't butt in when it's between a man and a woman.
And, if the two broke up,
Izuna would probably go after me.
You were thinking about that?
Oh? What meeting is this?
What was my brother thinking?
You don't have to be so upset.
Mei...
It's well known that those in our family of exorcists live short lives.
For example, even if I did become head of the family,
if by some chance I were to lose my life while working,
Yomi-san would still be the head of the family in the end.
W-What are you saying, Mei?
On the contrary,
if Yomi-san is dead, then I'll probably be the one to succeed.
Eh?
That's right, it all depends on who'll be the first to die.
I see.
If both of them keep fighting like this, it's possible that it'll become a hindrance to the missions.
It can't be helped, I guess.
Handling both of them at the same time is impossible.
Let's have Yomi-chan tell Nori-chan how she feels first.
Do you have a good way to get her to do so?
Of course.
The best way.
Nabuu is in place.
Nabuu too is in place.
First target confirmed.
It's time to start the operation.
Kiri-chan, are you ready?
Nikaido Kiri, heading out.
Oh, Miss Nikaido.
G-G-G-G-Good afternoon.
I-Izuna-kun, a-are you on patrol?
You're too stiff!
Nikaido-san, be more natural!
Well, this isn't something you see everyday. Miss Nikaido is out in a skirt.
I have a private matter...
You look beautiful.
Please wear something like that to the Agency sometime.
The office will be a brighter place.
Ah, he sets a flag.
Nori-chan is quite the playboy.
Anyway, the first step is looking good.
If Isayama were to see this...
Yomi wouldn't let her guard down, right?
Everyone be on your guard, our second target is approaching.
There are so many more of them, it's hard.
Hey.
Second target, engaged. She's not reacting to it.
Begin the attack.
Kiri-chan, phase one.
Phase one, understood.
Hit confirmed. Still no reaction!
You're not putting enough pressure on her.
Begin attack phase two.
You need to be more daring.
Second target, still silent!
It's okay.
Her feelings should be stirred up now.
Begin attack phase three.
Eh... wait...
Miss... Nikaido...
Noriyuki,
maybe we should stop keeping our relationship a secret.
Eh?
No... what are you talking...?
Second target has left the frontline.
The attack was ineffective!
I repeat, the attack was ineffective!
No, wait!
U-Um... what was that just now?
That was... that...
The attack did affect her!
The target's attitude has changed!
But, aren't we expecting something the other way around?
Eh?
Yomi's angrier than before no matter how you look at it!
Can you explain the meaning of this to me?
What?
Don't "what?" me!
What the hell are you doing? You already have a fiancée!
What? So you're jealous?
Jealous? What's that?
Don't you think you're misunderstanding something?
Misunderstanding?
I don't have any feelings for you, hear me?
I was only respecting an engagement my father decided on for me.
Don't get carried away.
So am I!
I was only obeying my father because I can't oppose him!
You dare raise your hand to a woman? You're disgusting!
You hit me this hard... I don't think I am.
As I thought, we'll probably always end up like this.
You're right.
Eh?
We don't get along at all.
Both of us.
Yeah.
Yomi...
Nori-chan...
I think, even if we're together, we'll clash like this, right?
The fighting probably won't stop.
Could you stand such a life?
What about you?
You can still have second thoughts, you know.
If you want to reject it, now's the time.
You're right.
Of course.
Noriyuki, I—
Wait!
Kagura?
I'm sorry!
I was the bad one!
This was all my fault!
I beg you!
Kagura?
Please don't fight!
Yomi is like a sister to me,
if you two get married,
then maybe Nori-chan will be like a real brother to me too.
If the family grows...
It's better to be close.
That's why, I...
I'm sorry...
It's all right, Kagura.
We've reconciled with each other.
You mean it?
Yes.
For sure?
For sure.
Kagura, I won't do something that would make you cry.
You really, really mean it?
Yeah.
Where's the proof?
Proof?
What do you want us to do?
A kiss.
I want to see you two kiss as proof of reconciliation!
W-What are you saying?
That's...
Sure.
If that will satisfy Kagura.
Wait, Noriyuki!
No... Nori...
That was the result of the mission.
I see. That's great.
They fought again and it went back to how it was, though.
It's fine like that.
Somehow, that was hard.
That's how Kagura shows she cares.
You're right.
That looks beautiful.
Falling for me again?
Idiot.
You never send that kit to my place.
That is not true.
These guys, they'll go anywhere they want to.
No way.
It never came to my place, you know.
It's good at hiding.
There's no way I wouldn't notice it.
I can't win.
You wanted to see my secret and not be disillusioned?
No.
It's because I wanted to see you with my own eyes.
Idiot.
I wonder if we can keep on fighting each other...
We will, always.
Forever.
First or last...
...it doesn't matter who.
One day I promised my heart
Itsuka chikatta no yo jibun no kokoro e to
that I would save you, overwhelmed in your swirling sadness
Nageki no uzu ni nomareta kimi wo tasuketai to
As time passes the changes pile up
Kasaneru toki wa kaeteyuku
when the gears of fate turn to rust,
Kotowari no haguruma ga sabitara
there is no turning back. I hate this world.
Mou modorenai I hate this world
I want to destroy everything. I can't get away anymore.
Subete kowashitai doko ni mo mada ikenai
For memories,
Omoide no tame ni
embracing only those days, saying I was happy,
Shiawase datta to ano koro dake dakishime
I engrave the dream in my heart as the footsteps fade away.
Toozakaru yume no ashioto mune ni kizamikonda
