In Surgery
Yomi!
Kagura.
Yomi'll survive, right? She will, right?
Yeah, she'll be okay.
She won't die that easily.
Yomi!
It's okay, she'll be all right.
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
Who the hell are they?
It was a rumor, but...
Huh?
I heard some higher-ups blundered and that they called for a cover-up.
They're probably going to cause trouble for us too.
What is it?
It's increasing the intensity of its flame!
Everyone, fall back!
It heated the rainwater rapidly, causing a steam explosion.
This is the Agency calling the disposal team.
This is the disposal team.
That huge beast got away.
A unique point has appeared at a spot 2.5km to the north of your current position.
Get there immediately.
Yomi!
We managed to save her life somehow.
Her body was pierced by pointed objects in 108 places.
Fortunately, her vital areas were spared.
However, her tendons and nerves have been cut.
It's as if they were intentionally targeted.
Her right eye and pharynx — her throat — were also damaged.
She probably won't be able to talk anymore.
Then, the possibility of her being an exorcist again is...
What're you talking about?
Even normal life is impossible for her.
No way!
There were traces of countless pointed implements around the area where Isayama Yomi was found collapsed,
but we found no such thing at the scene.
This is the scene where Isayama Mei was found dead.
Her body was found chopped up and mutilated.
Looking at the conditions at the scene,
we believed that she was killed battling Yomi.
I see.
But, why did she do such a thing?
It is conceivable that her motive was a grudge regarding the Isayama family inheritance.
Both of them were killed by the same enemy.
What are the chances of that being the case?
That is a possibility.
We have confirmed it is Mei's blood on her katana.
It matches with a section of the corpse.
We also cannot rule out the possibility that she tried to kill herself after killing Mei,
or that she injured herself in order to pose as a victim.
No Visitors
What is the meaning of this, Father?
Why did you selfishly break off my engagement?
The promise that Yomi-san would succeed the family was broken.
There is no reason for me to send my son.
Don't decide anything without my consent!
If Yomi isn't going to inherit the family,
why can't she join ours?
Marrying someone who might have killed her own relative is out of the question!
We don't even know if she killed her, though!
Noriyuki, remember that you are a man of the Izuna family.
Can you take care of her for the rest of your life?
With those injuries, it would be hard to even raise a child.
Do you intend to be tied to that girl all your life?
You are still young and you still have a future.
As your father, I cannot let that happen.
Think of her as already dead and give it up.
Hey, Noriyuki, wanna go out sometime?
You need to take a breather or you'll break down.
Hey.
At least give me a reply, will you?
Get a life, will you?
Feeling down gets you nowhere!
Shut up!
Shut up...
Yomi...
Shut up!
Yomi!
Are you satisfied?
Are you the one who turned Mei-neesan?
Those feelings have been in her heart all the while,
and then she put them into practice.
The Death Stone.
Isayama-san, you're awake?
Wait, I'll go call the doctor.
How are you feeling, Yomi-chan?
I'm glad.
I was worried for a while.
The doctor said that most of your wounds have healed.
Take your time to recover from the surgery, through rehabilitation.
Y-You were in a coma for about two months.
Yomi!
I'm so glad!
Yomi!
I wonder what's wrong with Nori-chan?
Now then Yomi-chan,
I'm sorry to bring this up so soon, but I'm going to ask you this frankly.
You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
If your answer is "yes", knock once.
If it's "no", knock twice.
Get it?
I looked at your call history from your cellphone.
Did Mei-chan call you to meet on the day you got injured?
Did she ask your help exorcising something?
Was it something related to work?
Then, it was a private matter?
I see.
Now then, I'm going to ask you a different question.
Was it you who killed Isayama Mei?
Was it unavoidable, for a mission?
Nothing to do with personal feelings?
I see.
Let's change the question.
Did you blame Mei?
Isayama-san.
Did you blame Mei for taking the inheritance away from you?
Isayama-san!
Did you blame Mei and kill her?
Answer me!
Tsuchimiya's daughter...
I'm taking Shishiou.
This belongs to Mei.
I'm sorry, Yomi-chan.
That man is having a hard time too.
Please understand.
Let's stop here for today.
Kiri-chan.
Please take your time to recuperate and don't worry about work.
We'll do our best.
It's all right.
Kagura-chan can already do her work alone remarkably well.
Don't worry.
The Death Stone.
That's what the unique point really is?
You know about it?
It's a fragment of the spirit of Kyuubi, the nine-tailed fox.
Because of its strong spiritual power, it eats away at its bearer and turns their soul into a specter.
In the Tsuchimiya family, they use the Death Stone for power to control the sacred beast.
They use a sealing process on the fragment, and have passed it down through the generations.
This is a pure crystallized version:
far bigger, more potent, and unsealed.
I found it at the Vatican three years ago.
It should have been sealed in Japan,
but it went missing.
And because they knew that this thing has awakened,
they are rapidly augmenting their force with counter-demon teams.
They're concealing the scandal of it being stolen.
You put that cursed thing...
...into Mei-neesan...
It seems that she wasn't very compatible with the stone.
She couldn't get comfortable with its regenerative ability.
I'm looking for the appropriate person to carry this stone.
It seems that you're quite compatible with it.
You're strong both spiritually and mentally.
And also, your hatred...
Here.
Is it good?
Of course it is.
I'll cook something and bring it next time.
I'm heading to the Agency today, so I'll be back late.
What is it?
Ah, that's right!
Can you type?
Kagura
What is it, Yomi?
Noriyuki
Call Noriyuki
Um... Nori-chan seems to be busy right now.
I'll tell him to come visit you sometime.
See you again tonight, okay?
Want to meet Noriyuki
Excuse me.
I heard about it. It must be tough.
How are you feeling?
Do your wounds still hurt?
I came here to talk to you about something.
Let me say this first, it is not good news.
The hatred in your heart is fit to bear this stone.
I have no feelings of hatred for others in my heart!
Then what was that back then?
You had quite a lot of hatred for that girl, didn't you?
Shut up.
What a pity.
She pleaded so much for her life.
Shut up!
You have the right to bear this.
You're not the bad one.
It's obvious that people hate.
It's everyone else, they were the cruel ones.
They broke apart the family that you worked so hard to create.
You see,
you were betrayed by everyone.
Don't think badly of Noriyuki.
I am responsible for all of this.
Here.
What's wrong, Yomi?
You're not hungry?
Here.
About Nori-chan...
I'm sorry.
"Don't bother with me anymore."
"Kagura, you should live your own life."
"Don't waste...
...your time on me."
Were you thinking such things?
Idiot.
Don't be naughty and eat up.
You'll never finish if you don't.
I won't give you your sweets later.
Does it taste good?
I'll buy the strawberry flavor next, okay?
I hate...
I hate this...
It's terrible.
Why do you have to be the one to suffer?
Why? Why?
It would've been better if we were just normal sisters
without being exorcists or having a destiny.
I wanted to have been born as your normal sister, Yomi.
Living under the same roof,
going to the same school,
having the same dreams,
liking the same person,
having a fight,
making up,
arguing over stupid things...
I...
I wanted to live as normal sisters like that.
Yet...
Forever...
Let's be together forever.
Yomi-oneechan.
Say, Yomi,
can you tell me one thing?
The director talked about it at the Agency today,
about Mei-san.
Everyone doubted you,
but it wasn't you, right?
You wouldn't kill a person out of hatred.
They're terrible.
They don't understand you.
No matter how painful it is...
If your answer is yes, knock once.
...you'd never do anything wrong.
If it's no, knock twice.
Yomi?
I'm going to the toilet.
I'll be back in a minute,
you can go ahead and sleep.
You weren't the bad one,
yet you're the only one who suffers.
This is the stone of your dreams.
It'll release you from your pain and suffering
and grant you all that you wished for.
I'm sorry Kagura
Hey,
I can save you, you know.
There is no reason for you to suffer.
Your suffering...
I'll erase it for you.
What do you think?
It's incredible, isn't it?
As I thought,
you are compatible with the stone.
Now then, don't struggle.
The pain is the evidence that your nerves are regenerating.
Now,
what do you want me to heal next?
Your chest?
Or is it your back?
Or...
Let me hear it.
What is your true suffering?
My true...
...suffering...
What is your true hatred?
My true...
...hatred...
That's right.
It is everything that gives you your misfortune.
Now,
what do you hate?
Idiot.
I need to be her friend.
I need to believe in her.
Yomi.
Yomi!
Yomi.
Yomi!
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
Yomi!
