Zakuro!
Be careful, Zakuro!
Persimmon branches break easily!
I know!
And persimmon trees are...
It's that, right?
Persimmon trees are...
Umm...
I got it!
Susukihotaru?
Hey...
Where did you go?
Zakuro...
You mustn't climb persimmon trees without thinking.
Zakuro, persimmon trees are...
connected to the underworld.

Cow's milk again.
It'll be okay once you get used to it! Right?
Yes, it tastes quite good!
You might be able to drink it if you added a little salt.
It's no good after all!
Have you already finished eating?
I've lost my appetite!
Zakuro-kun,
Why don't you take this?
Huh?
I don't know if you'll like it, but I chose one that doesn't contain any colourings.
Huh?
Well, I heard that you were half-fox, so...
I thought that candles were your favourite food.
As if that would be true!
Stop making a fool of me!
Ah, I'm really annoyed now!
Zakuro-kun...
I'm full-fox, but I don't eat candles.
But that was written in a book...
Oh?
Could it have been wrong?
You were looking at books?
Yes.
The incident the other day made me realise
how much I didn't know about youjin.
Instead of always being afraid of youjin,
I'd like to understand them even just a little, as we'll be fighting together.
So...
I was doing some research about youjin.
And that's how you got the idea of the candle?
Well, of course she'd get angry!
Eh? Huh?
Don't worry, mister!
You had good intentions!
Agemaki!
You're great, Agemaki!
Good boy!
Thank you.
Oh! He's frozen on the spot!
What's the matter, mister?
It's not like Agemaki-san had bad intentions.
Susukihotaru, you're so unfaithful!
I thought things were going well with Riken.
No...
What's the matter?
Note: Leaving a fruit at the top of the tree is believed to protect it and ensure that it bears plenty of fruit during the next season.
So the last fruit has fallen from the tree?
Did you have that dream again?
Zakuro!
Susukihotaru!
Kushimatsu is calling you!
A human has requested the investigation of a youjin.
A railway station has been built, right?
There seems to be a talk of a large hotel being built near it.
A hotel?
It's a western-styled building for holiday accommodations.
But a youjin has appeared there.
It hasn't caused any damage, but everyone seems to be afraid.
They're asking for it to be investigated.
Well, then all we have to do is talk to that youjin.
Hey.
That's about it.
I'll leave it to you then.
Yes!
Yes.
It's so busy!
Hey, look!
It's a steam train!
Ah, it's so dark and huge!
Who cares about Westernisation!
Everywhere we go, people are crazy about Western stuff!
Ah, Zakuro-kun! Look, there's a railway station.
Well, I think this is the first real hotel in Japan.
Yes, the roof is supported by large decorative pillars brought in from Paris.
I've used construction techniques not present in Japanese architecture.
Even the cost of travel alone was quite considerable...
I'd really like you all to get rid of the youjin.
Get rid of the youjin?
But we heard that there hasn't been any damage.
Hmm? There's been plenty of damage!
The workers are so afraid the work has not been able to progress at all!
But it's not doing anything wrong, right?
It'll understand if we talk to it.
Talk to it?
Is that really necessary for a youjin?
Ah, that doesn't mean I'm saying they're the same as you.
Hey, you!
Zakuro-kun, stop that!
Well, I don't mind you doing it the way you want.
Anyway, I'll leave it to you for now.
He really annoys me!
It's a mission, so I don't have a choice about investigating it anyway.
Well then, let's split up into groups!
Come on, Ganryuu-sama!
Wait a minute!
Well, shall we go?
Ah, yes!
Then, let's get going too...
Zakuro-kun!
We'll work separately for now.
No! Don't leave me alone!
If I encountered a youjin...
Being with me is more frightening than that.
Because my favourite food
are candles!
Zakuro-kun...
It's okay, I'll stay with you. Let's get going, mister.
What's the matter?
There's a disturbance in the underground energy.
It's strange.
Around here, there used to be...
Ah, thank you very much.
Umm...
It's strange.
I'm surprised you can fight so well when you have such a slender body.
It's because Zakuro is with me.
Zakuro...
Yes.
We were brought together from different places by Kushimatsu.
I didn't have the power to fight before that.
By meeting Zakuro and being around her, I awakened my true abilities for the first time.
It's the same for Bonbori and Hozuki.
Zakuro is someone special to us.
Look, Ganryuu-sama!
It's acrobatics!
Ah, that's not fair! Let me try too!
That's enough!
Bonbori-san, now's not the time to be having fun!
It can't be, he can tell the difference!
He might've just got lucky.
Umm... What's the matter?
Ganryuu-sama.
What are you doing, Hozuki-san?
Ganryuu-sama.
Bonbori-san?
Amazing!
Completely right!
Umm... I don't really get it...
Ganryuu-sama! This is...
That's...
Ganryuu-sama!
Yes!
Zakuro-kun.
You're such a scaredy-cat! Go for it!
Don't touch me in a strange way!
Mamezo-kun.
What is it?
What?!
It's obvious!
This is...
Umm...
I'm flattered that you're hugging me so passionately.
S-Sorry!
Agemaki!
What's that youjin?
It's getting away!
Let's go!
Zakuro-kun!
Calm down.
I'm not here to fight.
I've come to talk.
I see.
Then I don't have a choice.
What is it?
That youjin looks like it's scared.
Such a big monster? There's no way that's possible.
Mamezo!
Alright!
There you go!
When I strike your head, will I hear the sound of a thud or the sound of a cry?
Well, don't forget to pay as you leave.
Now!

Ah, there it is!
Be bewitched!
Ah, wait!

Am I a flower, or

a butterfly or a demon?
Stop, Zakuro-kun!

about my body or this world?

What I wield is not a lipstick,
sasu no wa yaibaja
さすのは刃じゃ
but a piercing blade.
Zakuro-kun, what are you...
tanto homete kudashanse
たんとほめてくだしゃんせ
Would you be so kind as to give me plenty of praise?
asore appare appare appare ga
あそれあっぱれあっぱれあっぱれが
Ah, there it is! Well done!
This way, Ganryuu-sama!
Zakuro-kun!
Let's go!
What on earth is this?!
You! What's the meaning of this?
Hey you, get that thing out.
Eh? That thing?
That thing from this morning!
From this morning? Ah...
This?
Mamezo!
Alright!
Don't be scared.
I'll make sure I return the darkness later.
What is it? That shadow...
That small shadow is its true form.
He can't show himself in front of humans without the darkness.
The intrusive light reveals his true form, a frightened creature.
Come here.
I see, that's what it was.
What is the meaning of this?
There was a small shrine around here.
A shrine? Come to think of it, there was one.
So was that your home?
He doesn't have a home to go to.
That's why he tried to drive the humans away by scaring them.
This area has changed because of Westernisation.
Although it's night, it's almost as light as daytime.
The darkness... The home of the youjin, is gradually disappearing.
The youjin are feared, but they were also somewhat respected.
Until now, anyway.
That's why they were able to live together with humans.
I can put up with Westernisation, but losing something important...
Don't be ridiculous!
Coming from the Ministry of Youjin, and being so arrogant!
Taking the side of monsters, you're just a youjin after all!
It was wrong of me to ask you to do this!
What are you saying?
Hey, you!
Speaking like that, even though you requested the youjin to be investigated!
No! I asked for you to get rid of the youjin!
But how are you going to clear this up?!
Just as I thought, youjin are...
Shh! They'll curse you...
Youjin should just disappear.
That's right.
I'm scared!
Hey, you! That's enough!
What seems to be the problem?
First Lieutenant Hanadate!
I see.
I fully understand the situation.
We'll put the shrine back where it was.
First Lieutenant Hanadate!
No!
I've put a lot of money into this!
The problems of the Ministry of Youjin are also the army's problems.
As the representative of the army, I'm offering the army land around this area.
Of course we'll pay for all the construction costs incurred so far.
That's alright, isn't it?
Yes, that would be fine! It's just a useless bit of land anyway.
First Lieutenant Hanadate.
Is it alright for you to decide something so important by yourself?
Yes, this is an important issue after all.
Joining hands with the youjin and creating a new era.
The half-demon young lady.
Zakuro-san.
That was your name, wasn't it?
Yes!
Thank you.
Westernisation is important, but there are things we mustn't forget.
You were the one who taught me that,
Zakuro-kun.
It was thanks to First Lieutenant Hanadate that things worked out.
Amazing!
About that...
He seems to be quite a capable person, that First Lieutenant Hanadate.
Yes, according to what Zakuro and the others said, he seems like a trustworthy person.
Amaryouju-sama, don't force yourself. Use your trunk.
There are humans that attempt to compromise with us.
We've got to make our own efforts too.
There must be some other way apart from drinking tea.
So that's what you're concerned about.
I heard from Susukihotaru-kun that this is your favourite.
But just like milk, it's another Western thing.
Ah! No... well...
I thought all humans were worthless.
But there are exceptions.
Are you talking about First Lieutenant Hanadate?
Hey,
why are you fighting for worthless humans?
Because this is my home.
There really are lots of different humans.
Worthless people, and wonderful people like First Lieutenant Hanadate.
Then there are useless people like you.
Zakuro-kun!
