Fureta yubi sameta KIZUNA ni
My fingers touched the cool bond
Kuzure yuku kokoro no sukima
In the crevice of my crumbling heart
Samayou KARADA wow...
My body wanders whoa...
KATACHI naku yami e to kieru
Disappearing into the shapeless darkness
Iro aseta omoi wa tooku
My faded thoughts are distant
Sagasu no wa jinki rao
What I search for is a mirage
"Mirai o tooku ni kazashiteru..."
"I'm holding the future far away overhead..."
Kirameita sekai tooi kiwaku wa
In a world that sparkled, my distant memory
Miageta sora yume o yobi okosu
Is calling my dreams to mind in the sky that I looked up at
Hateshinai yaro ni deau keshiki wa
In the scenery of us meeting on a ceaseless night
Sugita hibi no kotae mo miezu
I can't even see the end of the days that we spent
Konna ni mo tooku hanareteite mo
Even if we're separated so far apart
Terasu hikari KIMI ni tadori tsuku
The illuminating light makes its way to you
Kiseki wa kanau hazu
The miracle should come true
My first mission! My first mission!
Today I'm off on my first mission!
Lord Krory, could you be a little quieter?
I can't help it!
This is my first mission as an exorcist! I can't contain my excitement!
There are wolves and bears in this forest.
What would you do if they become attracted by your voice and attack us?
In that case, I, Arystar Krory, would defeat the-
A-A bear!
I thought you were going to defeat it.
What're you up to, Kro?
Yo.
Lavi! Bookman!
D-Don't scare me like that!
I hear Krory's on his first mission. Think he's all right?
He's fine.
Come what may, Krory can take it.
I hope...
[Krory, the Exorcist]
Did you come to support me, Lavi?
Komui asked me to
I could have handled this alone!
There have been several incidents recently,
where people have disappeared from the villages near here.
I will solve this case!
You're really getting into this, Kro..
Of course!
When I figure out what's going on, I'll be a hero!
The people will adore me!
I've been practicing my autograph.
To be an exorcist is a wonderful calling, one which contributes to the greater good!
It is truly what I have been searching for.
Right, right.
H-Huh?
There's the town.
Never fear! Your hero has arrived!
I guess that light that we saw was the church's stained glass.
This town feels awfully peaceful.
Yeah, I get that feeling too..
The town we're in is...
right here.
The marks indicate towns which have had a disappearance.
It's happened to most of the towns in this area, so it may very well happen here soon enough.
The people are no doubt living in fear!
Anyway, I will crack the case and become a hero!
Something unusual?
Yes, maybe like a strange incident or an unusual animal. Anything?
Nope.
Thank you.
There are no clues to be found at all...
Oh, but I'll tell you something cool.
There's a beast at my house!
Beast?
There's a beast in here?
Yeah!
Ah, you're home, you two?
Hi, Dad!
These guys want to meet the beast.
The beast?
Hey, beast!
Did you call?
That's...
Yeah, looks like...
It sets my teeth on edge! There's no mistaking it!
That's an Akuma!
An Akuma?
A beast which consumes human life!
Me?
Who are you?
We're exorcists. Those who fight Akuma.
Exorcists?
Now I know! You're the culprit behind the disappearances!
D-Disappearances? What do you mean?
I haven't done anything wrong!
What are you plotting?!
No! I'm not plotting anything! I'm just working on this farm!
It's true! Please believe me, ribbit!
What, now?
At first, the villagers were afraid of me.
However...
Once they knew that I wasn't bad, they accepted me.
Here!
They taught me how much fun it was to work in the fields.
I couldn't do anything to them...
I'm not gonna believe what an Akuma says!
No!
Dude, he's gonna kill you, damn it!
He will not!
After working with him for so long, we know that he has a kind heart.
But...
He isn't an evil being like you described.
He's one of us.
Sir... Thanks, all...
Deception is the Akumas' trade!
K-Kro, let me go!
Krory!
It may be true...
Perhaps he's like Eliade.
Some Akuma may indeed be pure of heart.
And how are you gonna prove that?
It'll be too late when the shit hits the fan!
Well...
Everyone, come quick!
Hey!
It's Udel town!
When I came to deliver the milk yesterday, nothing was wrong.
It was just a single night... How could they all disappear in the span of one night?
As we thought.
An Akuma killed them all.
Then the one responsible for killing all the villagers...
Yup
Judging by the increase in casualties, he's leveled up
If we don't stop it now, all the towns in this area are going to end up like this.
I will not allow that!
Killed?
We don't know if we can trust what they say but judging from the state of the village...
Then, all the other people who've gone missing up until now were killed?
Such tears...
He must be a good Akuma, after all!
Where was that Akuma yesterday?
Will you give it up?
He's not an Akuma! He's a beast!
He was working with us until the sun set!
And at night?
He was at his shack in the mountains. The landlord's loaning it to him.
Is that good enough?
How can you still suspect that Akuma?
Look at his tears! The culprit is another Akuma!
I hope so..
I know!
I will find and defeat the true culprit!
It's another Akuma, I'm sure of it!
Our own town might be next!
We should have the men setup a night watch.
But they've wiped out a whole town before. I don't know if we can protect ourselves.
But this town has that!
The stained glass?
Well, it is said that our church's stained glass has the power to cast out evil.
But this isn't the time to worry about some legend!
That's true.
We should assemble here in the church so that we can evacuate if need be.
I'll help too
Thank you. You really are a nice beast.
Sir, I'll help with the watch, too!
All right.
You can help tomorrow, but for tonight you should get your rest.
Okay! See you tomorrow, then.
We'll keep watch over the village's surroundings.
You follow the Akuma, Toma.
It feels so different.
Grow! Grow! Grow!
It really does feel different here, as opposed to the village.
Who's there?
Sorry!
Oh, don't scare me like that!
Did I startle you?
I'm too late...
Damned Akuma!
I will defeat this Akuma!
We'll help you!
It's still nearby!
Kro!
You have sinned too much.
I cannot let you be.
You may have dodged that strike, but the next will hit its mark.
I will drain every last drop of your blood!
You!
We've got to get the town's symbol to a safe place before we leave.
Be careful with it!
How'd you do?
Right...
Well...
It would seem he was in his shack the entire night.
I don't know what he was doing in there, though.
I see...
Where's Kro?
He's still depressed.
It must have been disappointing to have failed to destroy the Akuma.
It happened here two days ago,
and there yesterday...
What's this Akuma after?
Hmm, maybe think of it a different way.
I see.
This town is the only one that's escaped attack!
But why?
Hey, you all right?
That's...
So that was why it felt so peaceful in this town.
A whole flock of Akuma!
Of course...
The only thing holding them back is gone now.
What do you mean, gramps?
Explain it to me after we take care of these guys!
Mr. Beast?
Why?
He looked so happy when he was working...
Why did you betray these children?
He didn't betray them!
That's his true form!
This is the real reason he came to this town.
Innocence!
This town was protected by the holy power of the Innocence,
whose field of effect was amplified through the church's stained glass window.
Level one Akuma couldn't enter the village.
A level two like this guy could get in,
but his personality changed to its polar opposite.
However, when he exited the field, his evil personality returned.
It was he who attacked the other villages.
The Akuma that the villagers and Kro trusted was just an illusion.
No..
Hey, you guys!
Dad!
Is that really him?
Was it really an illusion?
Kro!
Was what I saw really just a fraud?
What's he doing?!
I want to believe that there are good Akuma.
Stupid Kro!
Crap!
If this is indeed your true self, I will defeat you!
Monster...
Stop it!
Don't hurt our beast!
Stand back!
This is not the beast you know!
It's an Akuma!
That's not true! He's the same old beast!
Hey, what's the matter?
Go back to the way you were!
Come play with us again!
Mr. Beast!
It's all your fault!
If you hadn't come, he wouldn't have had to die!
He wouldn't have turned into an Akuma!
Give him back!
Give us back our beast!
Give him back! Give him back!
That's enough. Stop it, you two
Be he a beast or an Akuma, I don't care.
As we knew him, he was kind and pure of heart.
If you insist on calling him a monster, you are a monster yourself!
Get out of our village this instant!
Get out!
You did your duty, Kro!
But this is what it's like to be an exorcist.
Just because you risk your life to defeat the Akuma, doesn't mean everyone will love you.
You may have been better off not being an exorcist.
You're just too kind, Kro
I am truly glad to be an exorcist.
After all, I saved that whole village.
I saved so many lives!
I see.
Yet another exorcist joins our ranks.
Kumo no sukima kobereru
A dazzling light is coming from
mabushii hodo no hikari ni
the opening of the clouds,
yo wa sa misukasaresou de
as if it sees through my weakness.
Fuini te o kazashita
I held my hands up over my head to protect myself.
Urayamu dake de itsumo
When I was envious,
akirameta furi o shita
I always pretended to give up.
Omoi ga abarer u kara
My feelings are too vehement,
mata boku o mayoimasen
so I won't lose my way once again.
Kuyashiku kara tte
Even if I am frustrated,
hito wa daremo minna
it must be the same for everybody.
Sono ashi de susumu shikanai da yo
I have no choice but to advance on my own.
Samayotte nayande sonna jibun mo
Even if I am puzzled and troubled,
te suru mirai wa konna katachi darou
it's how we make progress.
Kowashite shimae jama suru fuan o
I will break down this anxiety that hinders me.
Kudaite shimae nigiri shimeta te de
I will smash it with my hand tightly clenched.
Sono itami kizande
I will carve this pain,
sokka tobikome
and jump over it,
owarinaki yume no tsudzuki e
until I can grasp this endless dream.

While searching for Marshall Cross,
we plan to meet up with a supporter of the Order known as Mother,
but are assaulted by countless Akuma.
On the next D.Gray-Man:
The Soul Sellers, Part One.
Pitiful Akuma, let you soul be saved!
