My life isn't so boring right now...
...but I promised you that I will get it someday.
I'll wipe my tears on my own.
I can be strong 'cause you taught me how.
When I see your beautiful eyes...
...they make me feel like I should do more. I don't wanna be a loser.
This is a secret just between us until morning comes.
I bet you're having this dream too.
What' s going on?
Is this Sansho's doing?
You thought you could sneak up on me...
...but you failed.
I sensed you were there.
He destroyed himself, how stupid.
I see your skills have not diminished, Narutaki.
It was inevitable.
This is not what I wished for.
I tried to keep it secret...
...or are you the one who is inviting the kyouma?
No matter how hard you try to turn your back on this war...
...this is our fate.
Our destiny as warriors is not going to change.
We'll take the bus from here.
There was a lot of information but...
Ghost sightings and old mysteries...
None of it seemed like it would help fight the kyouma.
Nothing good.
It wouldn't hurt if they gave us a little more information.
Miss Tamaki and kyoshiro won't answer any of our questions.
I guess they don't trust us much.
This traffic is horrible.
If anything happened now, we'd be helpless.
But, it's our job as Warriors to protect the world from kyouma.
I didn't expect a show down with the kyouma here.
This' ll kick our participation into high gear.
We gotta act quick...
...or we could be in trouble.
Right.
We have to stop this bus first.
Futaba, can you handle this?
No problem.
So how are you going to stop the bus?
Easy.
Gasoline is combustible.
I'm counting on you, Hagiri.
Oh, I get it!
Come on then, kyouma!
Someone call an ambulance.
Call 91 1!
What happened?
What the hell?
What happened to the kyouma?
They were possessed, weren't they?
I looks like these people weren't really possessed by the kyouma.
I guess he wasn't one of them.
Nurse's Office
You' re lucky this didn't turn into a major incident.
kyoshiro said he'd take care of the police...
And he told me to tell you guys again to be careful.
But Miss Tamaki...
They started it.
What were you three doing?
Were you doing something to draw attention?
No, we weren't but...
There's too much we don't know.
It's our destiny to fight the kyouma...
...but we need more information to do our job.
This club you were talking about...
Jingo, finals are coming up, are you ready?
What? Where is this coming from?
You have to be a good student or you won't be able to fulfill this destiny of yours.
Uh, er, um...
But we still have to kill the kyouma.
And once you've killed the kyouma, then what?
Um er, you see l...
I'm going to focus on our club activities.
Club activities?
That sounds fun.
What kind of club is it?
Who are you?
I'm Kokono Kifu.
Kifu?
Kifu, that's the same last name as Ms. Tamaki!
Let me introduce you.
She's my niece.
She's been living at Yuden till now...
...but she has decided to come to this school.
At Yuden?
Then...
Yes, she's a Warrior, just like you.
Pleased to meet you.
This club you were talking about, can I join too?
Uh, well, sure.
Hey! Now we have five people, including Jutto.
We have enough people.
Jingo, weren't you listening to me?
Oh come on, Aunt Tamaki.
Don't call me that.
I told you to call me Miss Tamaki when we're at school.
I hear you got into trouble fighting the kyouma.
That's that hard part about this war.
They blend in so well with people...
One wrong move and we' re the bad guys.
Then we' re not protectors at all.
So when is this other person coming?
Jutto Segu...
He's already enrolled in my class.
But he hasn't been coming to school
He's playing hooky?
He doesn't sound too dependable.
Jutto is a Warrior too!
So is he a coward or a slacker?
He's one of us, so we just included him in our club.
He comes to school from time to time.
He should be here today.
I came to get her off my back.
She said she wanted me to meet someone.
There he is!
Over here!
Let me introduce you to our new friend.
What friend?
So, this is Jussho.
I want to go too.
Who is she?
My classmate, Elena Yamamoto.
Okay, I'll take everyone!
Here, Jutto.
Thanks.
Jutto.
I'm surprised you came along to such a public place without a single complaint.
I need to relax too.
But you never come to school.
It's so nice here.
It makes you forget about the kyouma.
We must work hard to protect these good people!
Save it.
There are plenty of good things in the world.
What is so great about that school anyway?
What a sorry bunch.
Let go, you pervert!
Is that...
Keep your grubby hands off me!
I' m not the kind of girl who will go off with a total stranger.
Kokono...
They're making a scene.
Staff Only
It's so hot.
Men are so rude in Tokyo.
I've never been so offended in my life.
You better watch out.
There are creatures far worse than kyouma in this town.
A country bumpkin like you could get in lots of trouble if she's not careful.
Jutto, there's no need to say such things.
It's okay.
Jutto is telling me these things out of concern.
Right?
Stop talking to me like you know me.
Being shy, Jutto?
Shut up!
I feel horrible for Elena.
She was so embarrassed she left early.
Not bad.
What's wrong?
Why the sour face?
Don't you sense it?
...it's a kyouma.
Great, I was just feeling the need to get some exercise.
I' m going to let off some steam!
What?
I looks like they aren't necessarily possessed by kyouma.
Damn it!
What's going on?
I really don't want to use my powers against humans.
Take this, Wind Attack!
Jutto, there, the music box!
Damn!
You!
This is endless.
It looks like everyone's waking up.
Oh no, where's Kokono?
She was here a minute ago.
Where did she go?
The kyouma and Jutto are gone too!
What!
Kokono Kifu, one of the Ten Warriors...
...she is one of the biggest impediments to the resurrection of the Demon King.
If I take her back with me, Lord Shindagan will be happy.
So it was me you're after.
Oh, it's tough being so popular.
If you knew all along, then why...
Fine.
You are courageous, coming alone without your friends.
All great women have their own reasons.
Besides, it's not like I came alone.
Let her go.
You will fight me.
This is good.
My name is kyouma Yumegiri.
I have no interest in you.
I'll take care of you.
She told us her name, that means she's high-ranking.
She'll be a worthy opponent.
What are you doing?
And I was going to let you fight her by yourself.
It looks like he's mistaken.
He'll keep fighting my image until he's out of power.
Now, it's your turn.
Oh yeah?
He has already fallen into my spell.
Do you really think there's anything you can do?
Kokono wasn't talking about him.
What?
There's someone else?
Where are you?
I' m not under your spell yet.
It's about time, are you ready, Tsuina?
Yes!
Oh fire, become a beast and be my strength.
Come, Sacred Beast!
There you are!
You' re not very dependable!
What!
What about you, you got taken here.
I wasn't taken here.
I followed her here to kill her.
Oh yeah, right.
You came all this way to kill the kyouma?
Why didn't you fight back there?
Are you an idiot?
Do you really think I would call my Sacred Beast in that crowd?
That would put all of them in danger too.
What do you think we are fighting for?
You are such a fool.
That makes you a failure as a Demon Fighter and a Warrior.
You've said too much, Kokono!
I wonder...
Jutto stopped coming again.
Kokono hasn't been coming either.
She said she was going to get adjusted to city life first.
That makes sense.
She was in culture shock.
Yeah...
There are voices in my head.
Yeah, what's that about?
I hear the voices at night.
Yes.
That would be a sort of telepathy or psychic communication.
I can't hear it but...
...it's His Excellency calling lssho to Yuden.
But no one knows where lssho is.
All warriors should be able to hear it.
It really bothers me.
Sometimes I can't sleep because of it.
Yuden, His Excellency...
Yuden is where the Demon Fighters come from, right?
Why aren't we gathering there?
Jutto was saying the same thing...
...why come to this school?
Is it because the kyouma are in places where there are lots of people?
Yuden is in the lzumo Mountains, right?
I did some research...
In the old days, this whole area was ocean.
The only land was where this school is.
There was a fortress or a castle.
This area was called Fuincho...
...which originally meant it was a seal.
A seal?
Then is something magically sealed in here?
Yes.
The reason you've been brought here is no coincidence.
It was destined for you to be reborn here in the same period...
...400 years ago.
Regardless of your destiny...
...all of you are here as regular high school students.
We'd really like you to behave like you are normal kids.
Until the time comes...
Come to think of it...
...it was strange that I was able to get in with my grades.
Did I get in the back door?
Wow.
If you think about it, we're like 400 year-old ghosts.
You saw lssho?
It seems like he's already been to see Segu.
What did he say?
He should be coming to you soon.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
By the way, I found the kyouma.
Unlike you and Segu, I really don't care.
I' m going to get it right now!
That's all I have to say.
Issho.
What is he up to?
Based on all your talk, l thought you'd be much stronger...
...but you're not strong at all.
Does it hurt?
Let me give you some relief.
I see.
I'll be done in a minute.
Shiny miracle love.
We are all traveling...
Sweet dreamy sky.
...searching for something invisible.
When a ship reaches the shore...
...my heart will be fascinated again.
And I will be eager to swim in another country.
I try to figure out what I should do...
...I try to be generous...
When I'm turning around...
Throwing out...
Playing...
Plotting...
Enduring...
...and laughing.
I want to take the end of today to...
...tomorrow.
Shiny miracle love.
We are all dreaming...
Sweet dreamy sky.
...searching for something invisible.
