The grimoire is a book of magic; whoever holds it controls the world.
They're confident that the key to knowing the grimoire's whereabouts
lies in the Tachibana family.
This is a ring of the Sacred Lux.
It's sure to keep you safe.
The Sacred Lux...
If you want to go to school that badly, I don't mind.
However... I'll be going, too. Starting tomorrow.
What?
"B-Boying of Vainglory and Impulse"
You transferred in from England? How great is that?
So you must be good at English. Can you teach me?
Aren't returnee students the coolest?
Not especially.
Whoa! He sure is popular!
I never thought he'd go through with it!
Ritsuka!
Huh? You know her?
Who is she?
Hey, Ritsuka! Who's that?
Ooh! And this ring! Looks pricey!
Did he give it to you?
Are you dating?
--No way! You go, girl! --You've got it all wrong! He's my brother!
He is? Really?
The Byzantine Empire asked Pope Urban II for help
in recapturing the Holy Land, then occupied by the Seljuk dynasty.
It's sure to keep you safe.
They're devils.
Now, this proclamation--
M-Mr. Nanashiro! We're in the middle of class!
Mr. Nanashiro!
C'mere a sec.
Huh? What--
What is all this?
--Hey, let me go! Hey!
--Stop that! Let her go! --Hey, let me go! Hey!
Ritsuka!
Shaddup.
Let me go!
Hey--
Wait!
Oh, geez.
Now, this proclamation would spark the Crusades,
a holy war that would involve everyone in the Catholic world
--over the next two centuries.
--Ritsuka! --over the next two centuries.
Lindo...
Here comes the exorcist who thinks he's a knight in shining armor.
Meddlesome insects must be removed.
Oops!
My hand slipped.
A new source of intel has joined us from abroad.
We ought to use it, no?
He has the backing of the Exorcist Society.
Soon it will be too much for them to keep an eye on us.
Huh. Then I guess you can keep playing human with that girl.
I'm taking more surefire measures, that's all.
I suppose you must.
After all, failure's not an option for the heir to the Arlond family.
Mage?
Why all the trembling?
Afraid of heights? I guess humans would die if they fell.
What are you so scared for?
This kinda thing would never kill a devil!
A devil?
Yeah,
that's right.
They're... they're real...
Now, if you don't want your soul devoured,
tell me where the forbidden grimoire is.
I-I don't know.
Pretty gutsy. I'll show you what happens when you defy a devil!
No!
That damn exorcist--thinks he's sooo clever.
Be mine.
Huh?
Then you'll gladly tell me where the grimoire is, right?
I told you, I don't know! And what do you mean, "be mine"?
You know: fall in love with me!
There's not a soul who doesn't fall for me hard once they see what I can do.
Wh-What?!
Come on, already. I'll show you something terrific.

Ugh, nasty! Human food always tastes like crap.
Sure could go for a tasty soul...
You're not eating?
As if I could just blithely dig right in at a time like this.
You're a stubborn one.
No wonder Rem can't handle you.
I never did like him.
Always looking down on you with that cool expression.
Rem's... not like that.
Ha. He's got you right where he wants you.
You got took. You know that devils lie, right?
But... he couldn't have...
Me, I don't go in for that kind of roundabout trickery.
My power's what got me where I am today.
Well? You're smitten, right?
Everyone who falls for my dynamic power and manliness
winds up wanting to be my underling.
Go on--call me "boss".
I won't tag along after anyone who abducts me against my will
without even listening to what I have to say!
Whaaat?
Now listen: I've never gone this far with anyone before, and--
It's you... that amazing smell.
Let me go!
Where are you going?
The bathroom!
Why's she so mad?
I've got to get out of here.
If I can just get to the police and call my brother...
What are you running from?
I, uh...
Eh?
I was just in the middle of dinner.
You don't look that tasty, but I can deal.
Now look: she got away again.
And your lousy souls won't make up for it.
Tastier than duck legs.
Help me... somebody!
No!
Calm down. It's me.
Rem?
Ritsuka.
I've come for you.
Once this reaches the airfield, my private plane will take you home.
It'll be okay.
How did you know where I was?
Your brother will be worried, too.
You ought to get in touch with him right away.
Um, I...
Thank goodness you're all right, anyway.
What is it?
Thank goodness I'm all right...
...because I'm your key to the grimoire?
I trusted you. You were so kind to me. And yet...
You're... a devil, aren't you.
I live to fulfill the purpose I have been given.
I require absolute power and an obedient pawn.
You are merely one of those.
Stay back!
Rem. What brings you here?
You seem to not know your own place, Mage.
That's my pawn. I will not allow it to belong to the likes of you.
Everything I'd so carefully put together is ruined because of you.
I ought to deal with you right here and now.
This one belongs to me. Go play your little games by yourself!
Rem!
You will be mine... that's for certain!
What happened to all the screaming?
What a pain.
Well? Isn't this the kind of thing you humans think is pretty?
Sheesh.
So Rem's a devil. Is it really worth getting so depressed about?
No... that's not it.
You--
So sweet...
Wh-What? What are you? How--I--
Ritsuka!
Sorry.
Dammit. Moving on.
Prostrate thyself before me, o ye who lurk in darkness.
Though thou wouldst veil thyself in the shadows...
...be thou driven out by my hand!
Lindo? But how--
Foul devil! Do not lay one corrupted finger on Ritsuka!
What have you done?!
Ha! You incompetent exorcist-- all you can do is wait in ambush?
You're too late! She's already mine!
I am not! Now let me go already!
I'll kill you.
I won't allow anyone--not anyone--
to besmirch Ritsuka!
Lindo?
Those eyes...
I get it now. And I don't like it one bit!
Silence!
Lindo!
--What's wrong? --O ye who lurk in darkness, obey my voice and pledge
--that thou wouldst utter before it only the truth in all things.
--Say what you like. It doesn't matter. --that thou wouldst utter before it only the truth in all things.
I'll use my power to make you surrender!
Pledge to me!
I don't care who you are-- I'll crush anyone who gets in my way
with my own two hands.
This next one will end it!
I'll kill you... unforgiveable... kill you...
Lindo...
Protect... Ritsuka... even if it costs me my life...
Stop...
Die!
Perish!
Stop!
Ritsuka!
You...
Big brother... thank goodness...
This party sure got old fast.
Later, Ritsuka!
Next time for sure, I'll have you saying you're mine!
Ritsuka, are you all right?
I'm fine. It was nothing.
Lindo?
Forgive me. I was with you, and yet...
No, it's okay.
Thanks for saving me, big brother.
Hmph. All these jokers getting in my way.
Her scent--it's soaked right in.
It was so sweet...
Whoa! Geez, Shiki! Don't go startling me like that!
Your face is all red. Gross, Mage.
I-It is not, either! I'm gonna murder you!
How I wish you would... but I'll have to pass for now.
I have something waiting for me that'll really make me shiver.
Hurry into my hand--
I'll lock you away for a lifetime.
It's a secret you can't tell anyone
Wonth gir sliv edhti wecnad
Wonth gir
Cracking a smile only at the witching hour
Spreading rumors sotto voce
You knocked on the door
Without looking behind you
With all these mysteries, impossible to solve
You stopped cold, weak in the knees
It hacks everything
The curse of love
The curse--and you
If you're confused about the touch on your skin
We just can't be transparent
Soon (soon)
Won't you take this hand?
Mademoiselle, mademoiselle: I'll make you happy
This night will never come again
So let us swear to one another
The black clown singing of love at the tip of the moon
Obscuring the sky
Casting a spell with a bewitching fever
Yes, that's the face--how it makes me shiver!
We'll be together forever.
Otherwise... I'll kill you.
