The Kegare's Dream What Is Beautiful?
Goodness gracious...
There's just no end to it,
with more Dragon Spots opening up no matter how many we close.
I'm getting sick of playing whack-a-mole with them.
Seriously.
I'm counting on you to handle the investigation, Su-chan.
Leave it to me.
We need to hurry and figure out
the root cause of all this.
Narukami Community Center
You should be okay now.
Now for an update on the group infections.
Infections occurring nationwide, countermeasure sought
The mysterious infections that have been occurring
throughout the country show no signs of slowing down.
The infection vectors remain unclear,
and the cause,
as well as a countermeasure, are being pursued with urgency.
The cause? We know for sure the Dragon Spots are causing it...
By its nature, only exorcists are able to see the miasma.
However...
It doesn't appear we'll be able to exorcise
Kegare and Basara quietly, the way we normally would.
Same goes for the Twelve Guardians.
Impure Legion Banishment! Come forth at once!
Flee, you impure beings!
The natural laws of this world will never accept you!
Never!
You are so obnoxious.
Things might be even worse once everything comes to light...
But for now, we need to focus on what we can do to help.
Yeah!
Hey, Mayura-chan? Sorry, but we've got our hands full here.
Could you go provide backup?
Understood. I'll go now.
I have to do my best...
Because Rokuro and Benio are, too!
Come on, come on!
There's no road in front of me!
I'm the one who blazes the trail!
Ow!
Hey!
Can't you just go down a proper road?!
Quit complaining about the roads the Kinako GPS chooses!
Yay!
But this is definitely the shortest route to the next Dragon Spot.
I'm amazed you can read a map with all this shaking and not get sick.
Urk.
I thought as much...
Wait, what kind of navigation is this?!
The wild, youthful kind!
Damn it, we're not even gonna live long enough to seal the Dragon Spot...
Here!
Wow! Did you make this, Sae?
Yeah! I learned it from this book Mayura gave me!
Easy Origami
That's awesome!
You really are a genius, Sae!
I'll make you one, too, Benio.
R-Really?
Done!
Here you go!
I-Is that...
Ohagi!
Thank you.
The Dragon Spot seems to be near this amusement park.
Amusement park?
Oh, right. I guess you wouldn't know about those.
See, an amusement park is...
a place with a bunch of different rides, and it's tons of fun and really exciting!
That sounds fun!
Papa, you've been to an amusement park before?
Yeah, I went once with Mayura.
You haven't been to one with me.
Er, haven't I?
And just what kind of memory is it?
Uh, no, look...
Th-The point is,
it's fun, there are lots of sparkling lights, and it's really beautiful! Yeah!
I wanna see the sparkles!
Sparkles!
Sparkles?
That's how it's supposed to be...
But because of the miasma,
it's not like that now.
We need to find the Dragon Spot and seal it.
We can't go in...
Hey, what're you doing over there?
This place is off limits!
Who are you two?
We're here from the Seika Dormitory in Tokyo to seal the Dragon Spot.
Then you two are the Twin Stars?
Right.
Well, that's a relief...
But we think a monster with a threat level of "True Serpent" is wandering in the park.
Isn't True Serpent...
...Kegare who are one step away from being Basara.
It might actually be a Basara.
Because of the intensity of the miasma, we haven't even been able to get close...
It's that bad?
Sae-chan?
Did she just...
Huh?
It's not sparkling.
A horsie!
Move! Move!
Sae! Where'd you go?!
Where are you, Sae-chan?
Here!
Mr. Lion!
Is this beautiful?
Beautiful?
I dunno.
I see...
Do you know
where I can find something beautiful?
Beautiful...
Right here!
What?
Papa said that it's sparkly and really beautiful!
Really?
Yeah!
Get away from Sae!
Papa?
Are you okay? Did he hurt you?
Benio?
There you are, Basara!
No...
I am...
Leo.
His mane is spreading the miasma from Magano?!
I don't think so!
It didn't work?!
Stay out of my way.
Benio-sama!
Kinako, take Sae-chan, please.
You got it!
No!
Our attacks aren't affecting him...
Is it because of the miasma coming from the Dragon Spot?
Get out of the way!
This is my place!
I won't leave!
Mr. Lion?
Spare me your nonsense! This is our world!
No!
Sae-chan?!
Meteor Talisman!
Meteor Smash!
Meteor Smash
Damn it!
Sae-chan!
Sae!
I just want to see something beautiful!
Beautiful?
You...
Let go of Sae!
Sae-chan...
He took her hostage?
Damn it!
Why?
Mr. Lion?
Why doesn't it move?
This isn't Magano...
I dunno.
You don't know, either?
I heard, a long time ago,
that this world is full of "beautiful" things that aren't in Magano.
I think
those things must be really great.
Much, much better than eating humans...
If I saw those beautiful things, maybe I could...
But...
What is "beautiful"?
Where is it?
I... don't know.
Let's find the sparkles together!
Papa told me.
He said this place was sparkly and beautiful!
So if we look for it, we can find it!
Really?
Yeah!
You know, it's the grown-ups' job to make the machines move!
Grown-ups?
Yeah!
Hokuhoku knows!
Hokuhoku understands!
It's time for "Please Tell Me, Hokuhoku-san!"
Please Tell Me!
Hokuhoku-san
~Grown-ups at Work~
Now, it's time to introduce the working grown-ups of our world!
There are lots of grown-ups in this world who work,
and they're the ones who keep the things we ride in and the machines we use moving!
That's what Hokuhoku-san said!
I see.
Humans make the human things move...
You're smart.
I'll bring a human.
They can make it move.
I'll wait here, then!
So don't fight with Papa and Benio anymore, okay, Mr. Lion?
If you say so.
It's a promise!
Promise?
Yeah!
Stick out your pinky finger, Mr. Lion!
It's a pinky promise!
If you're lying, you have to swallow a thousand needles!
That's how you do it.
Om tathagata—
Thanks. I'm feeling better.
It's my fault...
If I had done a better job, that bum wouldn't have taken Sae-chan...
It's not your fault, Kinako.
The Dragon Spot is giving him incredible strength.
Even we had trouble with him.
What's his deal?
Why'd he take Sae?
I just want to see something beautiful!
Beautiful...
Someone...
Is anyone here?
Anyone!
Please, make it move!
Hey!
Anyone will do!
Say something!
Come on!
Sae, where are you?
Benio?
I can hear her.
Mr. Lion likes beautiful things!
That way!
Mr. Lion loves beautiful things!
Sae!
Sae-chan!
Oh, Papa, Benio.
Look how many I made!
I'm so glad you're okay.
Come on, let's head back.
Kinako is worried about you.
I can't!
I promised I'd wait here.
Promised?
Why is no one here?
I just want to see something beautiful...
This isn't it!
Here!
Mr. Lion!
He wants the Ferris wheel moving?
I don't get it. What is that damn lion after?
He wants to see something beautiful.
Huh?
That's what the True Serpent said.
I don't understand why, but...
Earlier, it looked like he saved Sae-chan.
Saved her?
There!
We won't be so easy on you this time!
Star Armor Master Talisman, Inferno!
Exorcism Enchantment Ensemble:
Astral Disaster!
A-Are you... crying?!
A Kegare crying?
That can't be...
This isn't where I belong.
I'm not allowed to be here...
I just... wanted to see something beautiful.
Something beautiful?
I wanted to see it... with the girl.
Wh-What is this?!
The park is...
Again?!
Sae-chan!
Aw, man! Sae-chan!
Beautiful...
I see...
I finally... finally found it.
This is—
Why are you just standing there, Twin Star Exorcists?!
I have granted you this brilliant light
to awaken your foolish eyes that were swallowed up by darkness!
That's what this light is for!
You just did it because you couldn't see anything.
They're... from the Twelve Guardians?
Rikugo: Sada Sakura.
Daion: Zeze Miku.
Why hesitate in the face of the enemy you must exorcise?
What is there to hesitate about?!
We weren't...
And it's not like he...
Getting emotional, are you?
How stupid.
What are you—
Wh-What is that?
Kegare are creatures that do not belong in this world.
To exorcise them and return them to where they belong is our duty!
Where they belong?
It's beautiful...
I have searched for this for so long...
This is what I wanted to see, Sae...
Become light and return to the stars!
Shadow Burial of Grand Jest.
The Dragon Spot!
That's where it was?!
Impure Legion Banishment, come forth at once!
Papa!
Benio!
Benio-sama!
Papa!
Benio!
This is the sparkling, right?
Y-Yeah, that's right.
It's beautiful, beautiful!
So that's the brat Arima mentioned?
Did you say something?!
Irrelevant talk should be avoided when undertaking a secret mission!
Damn, you're annoying.
Hey, where's Mr. Lion?
He went back home just now.
He was really happy to see something beautiful.
Aw, but I wanted to look at it with him...
He asked us to tell you goodbye.
I see...
What is it, Sae?
Sae-chan?
No... It's nothing.
