Shadow of the Moon, the Sea of Shadow, Chapter One
It's you again.
Look, Sekishi...
Look, they are approaching.
You had that dream again?
You should stop worrying about it.
Make sure...
...you go to the salon today and have your hair dyed black.
Your teacher asked me about your hair again...
...if that's your natural hair color.
Get me the paper.
Yes.
Just don't forget, okay?
Why didn't you make her dye it before school started?
It's humiliating if people think she's dying her hair red.
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
I don't understand, neither of us has red hair...
What?
You got something to say?
U-Um, n-no...
Then why are you staring at me?
Apologize!
I-I'm sorr...
Hey, what's going on?
Asano...
Hmm, interesting...
What?
I think I've just discovered a new species!
Get lost!
Oh come on.
I'm just joking.
What?
Are you mad at me?
You embarrassed me back there.
I was just helping you out.
But it was my fault.
Huh?
You really think so?
You're always such a good girl, huh?
I don't think...
...I want to be class president anymore.
Why not?
Don't get so close.
You're in the boys' class.
Don't be so cold, we've known each other for a long time.
I don't want to make a scene.
Good morning.
I-I heard you've been going to a prep school since spring break.
Y-Yeah...
What changed your mind?
You used to say you could easily get the recommendations from school...
Sugimoto was greeting you.
Oh, really?
I didn't notice...
Hey, the class president should be a little more friendly.
I told you, I'm not going to be the class president anymore!
But, how do you know Sugimoto?
Good morning!
Hey!
What's up?
Hey, did you watch that show last night?
Yeah!
I have some announcements.
Nakajima will be the class president again.
After the assembly, classes start as usual...
Excuse me.
Yes, what is it?
Can we change seats?
Change seats?
Yes.
I'm tired of this seat.
But seats are arranged alphabetically...
We're starting a new semester, I could use a change.
Just say it, you don't want to sit next to Sugimoto.
Well, I was just being polite...
...but, I'll just say it then...
I don't want to sit next to her because she's so morbid!
Please somebody change seats with me!
Please!
P-Please, settle down!
Settle down!
The usage of the verb "beat" is very important in this sentence.
To beat is to confuse or to trick someone.
The "how" becomes the subject of "beat"...
Thank you, Nakajima.
I knew we could count on you!
I-I was just...
A k n i g h t

Hello, Sugimoto.
Why don't you try to talk to people?
They would ignore me.
That's not true!
They may be hard on you, but...
...it's partly your fault, you're always reading books...
I-I'm sorry.
People think we're friends.
A-Aren't we friends?
Look...
The claw is getting closer...
W-Who is it?
Why was Sugimoto...
He's at prep school?
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Hi Mom.
Didn't you go to the hair salon?
I'm going now...
Asano?
He could've told me if he was seeing her...
So beautiful...
You exude the scent of blood.
S-Scent of blood?
What was that?
Who is it?
Nakajima.
Class is in session.
I-I'm sorry.
Is it true that you're hanging out with the wrong crowd?
I don't think I have to worry about you, but...
...I want to talk to you, come see me after school.
Y-Yes sir...
Who knows what she's been doing after school...
W-Who are you?
I have been searching for you.
W-What?
Please come with me.
W-Who are you?
Taiho, I sense the enemy.
We were followed...
What was that voice?
We must not delay.
Forgive me.
It is not safe here, we must go.
Stop, let go of my hand!
Who are you?
I don't have time to explain.
The enemy will be here soon.
Please come with me.
No!
D-Don't come closer.
I've never seen you before!
There is no mistake.
It is you.
You've got the wrong person!
How stubborn!
I swear never to desert my post before your throne.
W-What?
Accept it.
A-Accept?
If you value your life...
...please accept my protection.
W-What?
Now, quickly.
I-I accept...
Hey, what are you doing here?
Who are you?
It is none of your concern.
What was that?
What do you want with my student?
Get out of here!
It is not safe here.
What do you mean it's not safe?
Nakajima, what's going on?
Explain yourself!
T-Teacher...
W-What is happening?
N-Nakajima...
W-Why...
Why aren't you two hurt?
Who is that guy?
Are you with him?
N-No...
No!
Wait.
Too many people are down there.
Go to the roof.
B-But...
If you do not wish to harm innocent people...
...go up to the roof!
What's going on?
Youko?
Asano and Sugimoto?
Who's that?
Your boyfriend?
N-No!
I thought you didn't want to attract attention.
I'm telling you, he's not!
W-What is that bird?
That is a Kochou.
Hyouki!
W-What are they?
Kaiko!
What?
Is it human?
She is Kaiko.
W-What on earth...
Hey, let's get out of here!
Why?
It looks like fun!
Hey, Yuka!
Here, take this sword.
W-What?
You are my master, and this is the proof.
M-Master?
Me?
Please, take it.
Go on.
Who are you?
...I mean what are you?
I am Keiki.
Keiki, please explain what's going on.
I have come to take you back to your world.
My world?
What world?
Where did you come from?
Yuka, stop it!
Hyouki!
Now, slay Kochou with that sword.
Me?
Aren't you going to protect us?
I have no desire to shed blood.
It's coming.
Now quickly!
No...
I don't want to!
Foolish!
Hankyo!
Hyouki, can you hold him off?
I will try.
I-It spoke!
Kaiko...
Take her somewhere safe.
W-Wait.
What about Sugimoto and Asano?
This doesn't concern them.
But you can't just leave them here!
Please!
Jyuusaku!
No!
Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go!
Let go of me, you monster!
Amazing!
This is so amazing!
Are you all right?
Shall we get going?
We have no time to spare.
B-But...
Look!
The Kochou is back.
P-Please help us!
Here.
You must kill it.
I-I can't use it!
Give me that!
Let me do it!
S-Sugimoto?
This sword, Suiguu, can only be wielded by her.
Why?
She couldn't even use it before!
She's right, I don't know how to use a sword.
Then I will lend you a Hinman.
Jyouyuu!
What?
No!
Take it off!
No!
It's gone...
Where did it go?
Please take it off!
The Kochou is coming.
No...
Here, please.
N-No...
I can't do it!
W-What?
Why?
My body is moving on its own...
It's coming!
Whatever you do, do not close your eyes.
Wait!
No...
No!
More enemies are after you.
In order for me to protect you, you must come with me.
No, I want to go home!
Take that Jyouyuu out of me!
Jyouyuu, do not show yourself and shift into a dormant state.
No, I said to take it out!
You need him for your protection.
It's disgusting!
Please take me with you, to the world you're from!
I don't care if anything possesses me!
Stop it, Yuka!
This does not concern you.
Nakajima said she wouldn't want to go anywhere without us!
I don't want to go anywhere!
If we're gone, everybody will worry!
I don't want to cause trouble for anyone...
What's here for you?
I have school and friends...
So...
I'm not talking about school or friends.
What do you want to do here?
S-Sugimoto...
Taiho...
More pursuers approach.
We must go at once.
A Shoku in a populated area like this?
W-What?
A Shoku?
What?
Please do not fear.
T-The sea...
What happened to the sea?
Where am I?
Shadow of the moon reflects over the Sea of Emptiness.
Let's sleep in the soft silver luster for now.
In my memory, I kept looking for...
...warmth in the lonely rain.
Even if my body dies, I will keep running...
...until I reach the rainbow at the end of the world.
The heavens are full of frozen stars.
On earth, the stars sketch the outline of towns.
On the sea, the beast appears.
