The Malevolence is becoming more intense.
Let's proceed with care.
An umbrella?
So...
How long do you intend to hold me like this?
Edna!
Oh, Lailah. It's been a long time.
And you. If you stay there, you'll die.
A hellion!
Of all the luck...
I sensed something and came to check it out...
Only to get involved with a hellion.

Um... thank you.
It's not over.
Lailah, help me!
He's a Shepherd, after all.
Sorey!
It's not working?
It's not that. The Malevolence is too strong.
It died...?
You're a sorry sight...
kid...
Zaveid!
Zaveid?
So this kid is the new Shepherd?
Did you do that just now?
Send hellions to hell.
That's my style.
He possesses a special weapon and bullets that can destroy hellions.
This one's sort of special.
It's my dear, dear bosom buddy.
Killing is the way you do things?
He could have been saved without killing him!
Pretty words!
You Shepherds are always such teacher's pets.
But listen, Shepherd...
Maybe some are saved by killing them.
What's that supposed to mean?
U-Umm...
Zaveid...
I told you not to come here anymore.
And I told you, Edna...
I'll keep coming until I kill him.
You can just...
leave us alone.
This couldn't be the domain?!
There's this much Malovolence in the domain?!
It's him.
Brother...
It can't be...
She's right...
This dragon is Edna's older brother...
Eizen.
You guys! If you don't want to be eaten, get out of here now!
Lailah!
Quickly, the Divinity!
If he was once a seraph, purification will...!
No, Sorey!
You idiot!
Once transformed into a dragon, purification is useless!
Then Edna's older brother is...?
Will remain a dragon forever.
There's really nothing we can do?
It's impossible.
I searched for a way, but nothing worked.
That's why I have to take him to hell myself!
Stop!
Edna!
Leave my brother alone.
Sorey, it's too risky here!
But...!
Take Edna and get the hell out!
Let's go.
It's the same as that time.
Hellions...
It doesn't work without purifying power.
Damn, of all places...!
Sorey needs me!
We're safe. I think it went away.
How long are you going to hold my hand?
Oh, sorry!
So what's your purpose?
Why did you come here?
We've been following the tale of the dragon.
For what? Are you seeking fame as a dragon-buster?
You're wrong, Edna.
You see, a dragon appeared in Ladylake.
A dragon? In the capital?
That wasn't my brother.
Yes, I know that.
Then why did you come?
I wanted to know more.
About this age known as the age of calamity.
If dragons are the symbols of destruction,
pursuing them may help me understand the world.
I became a Shepherd.
So I must know.
I see.
Then do you understand what dragons are like?
It's useless to stay here. So please...
Yes, I understand about dragons now.
That's why I'm thinking...
of a way
that I can save Eizen.
Lailah, is he some kind of fool?
Sorey is very straightfoward which is his wonderful trait.
Jeez... You're all fools.
Edna...
Why did Eizen become a dragon?
I don't know.
He up and left. And the next time I saw him, he was a dragon.
He was an eccentric who loved people.
I'm sure he got too involved with humans.
I spent so much time looking for a way to turn him back...
But there's no way to purify a dragon. Absolutely none.
So...
It's like he said...
Killing is the only way.
But you don't want him to be killed, Edna!
Earlier, you tried to stop Zaveid.
That's...
I thought Shepherds and dragons were only found in legends. But they're real.
There are many legends in this world that have yet to surface!
As well as the method to calm a dragon...
What was that?
Eizen! Zaveid!
Brother...
Zaveid!
Those guys...!
Don't come any closer!
He's not Eizen any more! He doesn't recognize anyone!
He's forgotten everything.
Even how often we've battled.
The dangerous travels we've been on.
How we've drunk ourselves into a stupor.
You've forgotten everything...
Eizen!
Stop, Brother!
Lailah, lend me your power.
It's impossible to purify a dragon.
I know that.
But...I want to do something.
No...
I must do it.
Brother...
Sorey, it's enough!
Not yet. He's still...
You bastard...
Stop, Brother!
No more... Don't hurt anyone.
Edna! Get away from there!
Big brother...
Stop!
Eizen...
You...
Brother...
Zaveid...
Zaveid, say...
I know. It's about Eizen, right?
After seeing something like that...
Zaveid...
However, kid...
I've traveled all around the world...
and I've never heard of anyone turning a dragon back to the original.
But well...
The world's a huge place. Just maybe...
Anyway, what's the harm in searching, eh?
Edna!
If you ever give up on him, say so anytime.
And I'll come rushing.
'Cuz I made him a promise.
At last, one fool's gone.
Edna!
Lailah, please do a Sub Lord pact.
Edna?
Sub Lord?
It means I'll honor an ancient contract to lend you my power.
You said you'll help Eizen.
That's why I'll help you.
You're going to search for a way to save my brother, right?
Yes! We'll find it together!
I'm counting on you...
Sorey.
Same here, Edna!
Wait for me, Sorey!
What is this?!
What's happening?
What's going on?! Griflet Bridge is...!
On the next episode:
- You're helping with the preview, Edna? - Of course.
Fans are so eager to see cute Edna, that they've watched through Episode 8.
I have to appear on screen often.
Since I'm on, maybe I should introduce myself.
Yes, tell us all about yourself, Edna.
Sure, ask me anything.
Tell me about Normin, the mascot on your umbrella.
We'll run out of time, so next question.
What's your specialty sweet?
Huh? My specialty is eating what others make for me.
What's the meaning of Hephsin Yulind?
Stands and sits like a regal peony and walks with the fluidity of a lily.
Edna, the greatest beauty in this century.
Edna, don't lie!
That's a long definition for your ancient name.
Time's up. Next week: "City of the Epidemic." Don't miss it.
So what does Hephsin Yulind mean anyway?
It's...a...secret.
peony,
