When those blessed eyes reflect shadows of pain
Seinaru hitomi ga itami o utsushitara

The ground below their feet crumbles; the two can't turn back.

Don't let go of the hands that reached out to you.

Those simple days, vanishing one by one.

I won't allow those memories to be tainted.
Omoide o kegasu no wa yurusenai
This is paradise betrayed.

Searching for the light in the far reaches of my wayward heart.

Let these prayers reach you.

I will not let us separate. (We won't) Destiny begins.

Ministry of the Environment?
Yes.
The Agency for Supernatural Disaster Prevention under the Ministry of the Environment.
Simply put, we're the national agency that exorcises demons.
Kagura!
Yomi...
Yomi!
Tsuchimiya!
Yacchin!
What is the meaning of this, Tsuchimiya?
The first Category D she killed was someone she knew.
That's a bit harsh.
Moreover, it wasn't an incorporeal specter.
It was a corpse controlled by the Mouryou.
I see.
The SDS activity has calmed down.
The spiritual pressure in every area has returned to its normal level.
What about that unique point?
It last appeared at the Arakawa river bed, at 19:50. We have detected no further reaction since then.
This worries me.
The disposal team can fall back to their normal areas.
Tell the observation team to continue their watch.
Yes, Ma'am.
Also,
give Kagura-chan a bit of a rest.
I agree.
Giving her missions while her mental state is unstable
could cause her to make mistakes and endanger the other members.
That's a cold statement.
If making nicer statements would make the situation any better, I would.
Do you have any good ideas to make things better?
How about giving Isayama Yomi a vacation as well?
It would make her feel worse if she is the only one removed from the team,
and I think Yomi could help her mental state as well.
Oh...
Is something wrong?
Your cold way of putting it is wonderful.
Huh?
The school has just appointed Miss Itabashi to replace Miss Nakabayashi, who died in a traffic accident yesterday.
The medical committee members will hold a meeting after school.
Manabe, are you listening to me?
Ah, yes!
Remember to attend.
What did you want to talk about, Brother?
Actually,
I am thinking of bringing up Yomi's succession earlier than planned.
Brother...
Don't tell me, you...
You don't have to be so worried.
I won't be dying that soon.
Although, anything is possible at my age.
I'd like to hand over the family leadership as soon as possible, while I can still walk, and be done with it.
Is that so?
I am thinking of officially giving the position to Yomi at the next branch family meeting.
Yuu, I'd like to ask you to arrange for that.
Will you do it?
I understand.
Mei.
Yes.
It is as you have heard.
Help me with the preparations.
Yes.
Takahashi.
Here!
Tamiya.
Here!
Tsumura.
Here!
Tsuchimiya.
Tsuchimiya's absent again today?
Oh, welcome.
What can I help you with today?
No, it's nothing.
Ah, my name is Itabashi, I'm the new school nurse.
Nice to meet you.
Sure.
What's wrong with your leg?
This...
I hurt myself... with some glass...
Come.
Sit over there.
Okay...
Glass, you said?
What did you do?
I... broke a window...
That's dangerous.
It's healed well.
This won't leave a mark.
Be careful.
You're a girl.
Yes.
There, it's done.
Thank you very much.
If the bandage feels uncomfortable, come again.
I'll change it immediately.
I'm sorry. Does it hurt?
No.
That's not it.
I'm sorry.
Sensei...
What're you crying for?
You killed her yourself.
Yacchin.
You killed her yourself, so what're you crying for?
Say something.
You did it yourself, right?
Say something!
Yacchin!
Are you going to kill me with that too?
Stop it, will you!
You will, won't you?
You'll kill me and Mikku, won't you?
I said stop it!
Even though I liked you!
Even though I liked you and the nurse!
Why did it have to be like this?
Say something!
Don't just stand there! Say something! Anything! Make an excuse!
I told you to say something, didn't I?
Yacchin!
Go ahead.
Hit me.
If you hate me, you can hit me to your heart's content.
This is all wrong...
Just because it's my job...
When I don't want to kill...
Even though I wanted to protect her...
Why does it have to be like this?
Tsuchimiya...
It's because I was wrong...
It's definitely because I was wrong!
That's why!
Be angry at me!
That's why...
Please... I beg you, hit me...
You idiot...
Yacchin...
I'm home.
Oh, Yomi.
Uncle and Mei-neesan.
Welcome.
Are you looking for Father?
No, we've already talked.
It seems that you've been accomplishing a lot lately, Yomi.
No, that's not true.
What're you saying?
You're using Shishiou.
It'll be a problem if you don't have any combat exploits to match its name.
It's the treasured sword that has been passed down in the Isayama family for generations.
Normally you wouldn't have had the opportunity to carry that.
Remember that well.
I understand.
What is it, Yomi?
Nothing...
Take care.
That's right.
The Tsuchimiya are a family of exorcists.
Someday, I too will be a full-fledged exorcist,
and I'll have to inherit the sacred beast.
Byakuei, the strongest sacred beast, passed down in the Tsuchimiya family for generations.
In order to protect that seal, I will have to merge my soul with Byakuei.
That is the fate of the Tsuchimiya family.
Could that be why you're often absent or leave early with an e-mail?
That's right.
It's the job of those born into the Tsuchimiya family.
That's weird.
That's just impossible,
for a family to force a young kid to deal with such a dangerous job.
That's our mission.
That's so weird!
Why do you have to inherit such a thing?
That is...
Because that is my fate...
More and more outrageous!
Missions and fate, are you an idiot?
Idi—
Eh?
I won't stop you if you insist on doing it...
Insist? But that's...
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Hey, do you really want to inherit a job like that?
Eh?
That's...
Director!
Oh, Kiri-chan.
Take a look at this.
I've received a message from the spiritual power distribution observation team.
That unique point has appeared again.
This...
There are two unique points?
The large-scale unique point has a smaller spiritual power field than before.
In other words, it divided?
Yes.
It's a possibility.
Well done.
But you failed.
You'll die in a real battle.
Simultaneously hitting each other means defeat.
Think about defeating your enemy while remaining unscathed, and don't use tactics that'll risk your life.
Yes.
But you've grown strong.
It took me quite a while to be able to use that counterattack.
Yomi,
is it okay for me to continue living like this?
Kagura...
I'm scared.
At first, I didn't really understand the nature of our work.
Watching you use your sacred beast made me long for it.
I thought that defeating the evil demons and protecting everyone was a cool thing.
But...
Now...
I just don't know...
Kagura...
What should I do?
I don't know.
I could encourage you by saying, "Do your best."
I could also tell you, "Quit it."
But the one who'll have to decide that is you, Kagura.
Worry about it all you like right now.
No matter what others say, you can go forward with the answer you believe is right.
At least that's how I've been living up until now.
Yomi...
No matter what that answer is,
if you decide on it yourself
then I'll support you.
That's right.
I'm always at your side.
Okay.
Ah, Yacchin.
Your friend from before?
Yes.
She said, "Come, it's my treat."
Really?
She's such a good friend.
She must've understood you.
Well, maybe half of it... I guess.
That's more than enough.
You need to cherish it.
Go.
Okay!
I'll see you later!
Noriyuki?
Yomi?
Mei?
I'm feeling kind of relieved.
About what?
Kagura cheered up a bit.
You're thinking of Kagura as usual.
That's because,
that girl, she's like me.
She's like you?
Having a family member killed by the demons,
and having to bear the fate of an exorcist...
I didn't want that girl to go through the same pain that I have.
I thought, "I want to protect her."
Yomi...
I wanted to protect Kagura, forever and ever.
But...
I guess that's about to end.
Maybe Kagura no longer needs me.
You see, that girl,
she very quickly acquired techniques that took me years.
Someday she'll outdo me.
That's because she has good form.
No, she was gifted from birth.
She's the legitimate heir to the Tsuchimiya family, inheritors of the strongest sacred beast.
A prominent family even among the clan of exorcists, and born with a genius-level talent.
Things I would never achieve no matter how hard I wished for it. She has it.
Yomi...
But she's hesitant about inheriting it.
What irony.
You worked hard in order to be the successor of the Isayama family.
You've become a leading swordsman among the exorcists,
so much that people call you a prodigy.
Even so...
There are people who think badly of me.
Right now, no one can criticize you.
You should be proud.
Noriyuki...
I won't forgive people who speak badly of you.
You're the one who's been saying the worst about me.
Which mouth said that?
Yes?
Yomi? I'm with Yacchin and the others right now.
Is that so?
Things going well?
Although she said she'd treat me, I had to treat her because I lost to her at cards.
Really?
And Yomi, what about today's dinner?
Ah, that's right...
Shall I make it today?
Are you sure?
Yes.
Are you going to be okay?
Somehow, I'm feeling like that.
What do you want?
Whatever you like, I'm fine with it.
Decide for me.
That's right.
Then, I want to have vegetable curry.
I understand. I'll see you later then.
Kagura!
Thank you for waiting!
We'll have parfait for dessert.
You didn't eat.
Kagura-chan, are you maybe feeling full?
Ah, sorry, I forgot that I was on a bit of a diet.
Do you want it?
Ouch!
Don't use the edge, will you?
The next time you do that I'll bite your tongue off.
Are you okay with that?
Yes.
Since we're not on duty today.
Okay.
I'm home!
We're going to have curry today!
Yomi?
Uncle?
I'm home!
Uncle.
Uncle!
Sorry for being late!
What's wrong, Kagura?
Why are you sitting here?
Yomi!
Hey, what's wrong?
Uncle, he... he...!
Uncle!
What happened?
Yomi! Where have you been, playing around at a serious time like this?
We couldn't get in touch with you!
We've been searching for you!
Mei...
First, Yomi-san, you have to say your goodbyes to your father.
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
