I'm out of bullets.
"Save me from the darkness"
A sad voice that I felt
I'm in the hell
I'm in the fate
If we embrace, I'll freeze onto you
I don't trust anyone, but the reason why I want to save you is
Just because I know that if I can ignore the color of sin, I can go back
Wait... The door beckons my heart
A fate that will change who I am now
Your passion that plunges into my heart is the key
"Save me from the darkness"
That was my own scream
Within an illusion that I can even choose a different life
Is it a comforting dream?
I waver, bravin' my heart
Innocent Invitation
Hey, Sumire.
Hm?
Want to go get some tea with us?
We found a great place.
Let's go, Sumire!
Sorry, maybe next time!
Wait, Sumire!
Shirogane Girls Academy Middle School
Ex-Excuse me, Sumire, I have two tickets to a movie, so...
if you'd like, why don't you come with me?
What's with the movie thing?
Huh?
You KNOW she's really dense, don't you?
With Sumire, you have to come right out and say that you like her, or she'll never get it!
Wha-What are you talking about, Big Sis?
More to the point, stop bothering me!
Sumire!
Nene! And Riku, too!
He said he has to talk to you about something.
What?!
Oh, umm, Sumire... A-actually, l-l-l-I have two t-t-tickets to...
Look at the time! I'm sorry! the movies, so...
Look at the time! I'm sorry!
We'll have to talk some other time.
Bye!
S-Sumire!
Oh, that's right!
Was today the day she was supposed to go there?
I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna get yelled at again!
Whoops!
Oh, I'm sorry!
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
You're late.
I'm sorry, Lucia.
What's so funny, Laura?
Sumire, your hair's all messy-messy.
Huh?
Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
I can't believe I was running through the streets with my hair like this!
More importantly, a client has been waiting for you. I can't believe I was running through the streets with my hair like this!
Not here. Down there.
Then, you mean...
I've seen your flier.
It says that if I come here, you will solve any kind of problem I have,
but I'm not sure if you will believe me or not.
Your name is Risa Todo, correct?
Y-Yes.
Only certain people are able to read the writing on our fliers.
I believe I have a good idea of what your request is, as well.
The shadow...
I want you to do something about the shadow.
January... February... March...
Who's there?
Am I just imagining things?
N-N-N-NO!
Ever since then, I have been able to see a creepy shadow around me.
That certainly does sound creepy, doesn't it, Lucia?
It could be just a hallucination.
Also... Ever since I started being able to see the shadow,
some of my friends have gone missing.
I think maybe, the shadow might be the cause of that, too.
When I think about that, I just...
Risa!
It's a Virus.
A "Virus"?
Understood. I shall accept your request.
Really?
Yes. That is our job, after all.
The is the place where I saw the shadow the most recently.
On my way home from school, it came up from behind me like it always does, and then...
Y-You don't have to say any more!
This is the kind of place that Viruses seem to like.
By the way, what exactly is a "Virus"?
A Virus is... what you would call an evil spirit.
Viruses aren't human; their soul has been stolen.
And so they wander in search of human souls, steal them and devour them.
They are sad yet dreadful beings.
Then, my friends who disappeared were attacked by a Virus and...
Their souls were taken. You could consider them as having been killed.
O-Oh no!
Risa...
Lucia!
I didn't say anything that wasn't true.
She always says too much.
But...
But none of my friends noticed the shadow that I saw at all.
That's because there are people who can see Viruses, and people who can't.
For example...
No, no seriously...
I-ls that a...
Yes. It's a low-class one, but it's a Virus.
It went away.
Huh?
Here, Risa, I'll let you borrow this.
This ring is a talisman against evil.
Talisman against evil? Then you too, Sumire?
Yes. I really don't want to see them at all, though.
But this is odd.
For a Virus having appeared here, there's too little of a trace left.
It's just like it really did disappear.
Caterpillars!
Why is this place so full of caterpillars?
Sumire...
But, I 'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
That should do it.
Thank you very much, Mr. Nahashi.
Here you go.
Thanks, Laura.
You said you couldn't figure out what the Virus really was?
Y-Yeah. Before I even realized it, I was being saved by Lucia.
You're such a spaz, Sumire.
I'm sorry.
I wish you would just stop apologizing and do some work.
Lucia...
There were no traces of the Virus, and we haven't been able to identify it.
Not only that, Sumire is...
The only clue we have left is this girl.
Just a little bit should be okay.
Sumire, does your wound still hurt?
Oh, I'm fine. It's just, Lucia got mad at me again.
I'll bet Lucia hates me now.
Ooh, what do I do? Hey, Laura, what do I do?
Lucia?!
Lucia!
So that's how it is...
Lucia...
Lucia, you used your left eye, didn't you?
Don't worry.
But now we're going to have to leave the rest up to Sumire.
No!
What's wrong, Lucia? I'm coming in.
Lucia...
This sucks. Why was I even born with an eye like this?
I even see things I shouldn't.
I'd be better off not being able to see anything.
I guess I'm in no place to talk about Sumire when I while like this myself.
No, you're doing a good job.
I'm proud to have you as my daughter.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Here you go! You'll need this tonight, right, Lucia?
I suppose so.
Please relax and sleep tonight. I'll be right here.
Is that...
Is that real?
It's an anti-Virus hand gun.
To humans, it's like a toy.
But you and Lucia are amazing.
Huh?
You fight against monsters called Viruses.
I'd just get scared and run away.
Not at all! I'm just like you, Risa!
If I had a choice I wouldn't want to do it. But...
But?
No, it's nothing.
But, if my body goes back to normal some day...
Get a grip, Sumire!
If I don't... hang in... there...
It finally came out.
Lucia!
So you're finally awake?
Uh, umm, what are you doing here, Lucia?
So you figured out what I really am?
It's simple.
You used this girl to capture your prey without leaving behind any trace.
You dive into the depths of this girl's consciousness,
capture your prey, and then return.
You're a real sly, elusive Virus, aren't you?
I would've missed if it hadn't been for the power in my left eye.
The only thing left was to wait for you to come for Sumire.
Huh?
Because you Viruses are drawn to the souls of the people who can see you.
I-I was used as bait again?
And what great bait you were.
I see, so you guys are exorcists, huh?
Don't worry, I'll make sure it doesn't hurt a bit.
What lS this?
These bullets are special.
They're filled with antibodies that were developed especially to kill you Viruses.
The material is a vaccine made from you Viruses.
Now that we're outside, you're all mine.
I can't jump from this high!
Pathetically weak human!
Do you really think you can fight back against us?
Huh, little exorcist bitch?
A Virus whose element is earth...
That's why you ran outside...
Bingo.
I'm impressed you avoided getting skewered. You know, I like you.
How about this? Why don't you become one of us? One of us Viruses?
I'll lend you a hand. It'll be so much easier for you.
Just abandon your soul.
Mother...
I refuse!
Because I hate you guys from the bottom of my soul!
Is that right? Then I'll just eat that soul!
Lucia!
Idiot.
Which one is the idiot?
Huh?
Talk about a waste.
Sumire!
Yes?
When we get back, I'm going to train you hard in shooting.
Until you raise your accuracy rate.
That was nothing like you promised!
I thought you said it wouldn't hurt!
Now that it's come down to this, I'm going to at least take this girl's soul.
Sumire!
Lucia...
Have you lost your mind?
You have more than just a little pain to worry about now.
What are you talking about?
Sumire reacts to the Virus antibody and turns into a berserker.
She's just like a living anti-Virus.
She gains incredible physical abilities,
and the combat capabilities to go up against the Viruses.
However...
Something smells good.
There you are.
When she is berserk, she is a double-edged sword.
No one can stop her rampage while she is in the trance.
Do you really want to be destroyed that much?
Then in that case...
S-Sumire...
I will destroy you.
Sumire.
It looks like the forbidden fruit hasn't quite ripened yet.
Ah, I can't wait.
Back then, I still had no idea what was about to happen in the world.
Even though I know it's a sweet trap
I can't resist the curiosity of temptation
The more I'm desired, the more tightly I become entangled by the spell
Enchanted by the fruit of love...
If the darkness of annihilation is your desire, then these hands shall obey
If you desire the darkness of silence, then I shall offer it to you
My purest feelings degrade into a tender yet cruel puppet
Hi! I'm Laura. Nice to meet you!
Now I'm not supposed to tell you this,
but the all the anti-Virus weapons Lucia and Sumire use were made by me and Nahashi!
Isn't that amazing?
But, you know what my favorite thing is? Chocolate!
It's sweet and good and melts in your mouth and...
What?! Sumire's quitting being an exorcist?
