Original subtitles

Don't worry, the princess is in perfect condition.

You seem to be coming to see her quite often, do you like her that much?

"Like?"

That's not quite right.

I suppose I would say that we get along well.

Chief, I appreciate MAR's help in my escape from prison.

Don't thank me, thank our boss who decided to cover for you.

While that may be true...

The knowledge about the Cleansing that I gained from her...

I will put it to good use.

Floor Zero of the Keystone Gate.

That's where Asagi is being held, right?

Indeed.

This one will provide directions for all of you.

That would help, but are you going to be okay?

If they find out that you are helping us and attack you again,

won't you have a hard time with just that tank?

Fear not.

I will look after this girl.

Getting you to owe me a favor is not a bad idea.

Thanks, I guess, but don't go overboard, okay?

I will keep that in mind.

Himeragi, didn't I already tell you wait up here?

It's not like I am following you around, Senpai.

You just coincidentally happen to be walking in front of me.

What are you, a preschooler!? You're not exactly in good shape!

There are no problems with my health!

But-

I said I'm fine!

I'm your observer, so of course I'm going with you!

Or maybe you don't want me around when you're going to see Aiba-senpai?

That's not what I'm talking about!

Fine, I give up.

Please come with me, Himeragi-san.

You should have just said so from the start!

Yeah, yeah.

Well then, let's go.

It's pretty dark down here.

Hmm? Oh, I see.

Grab my hand. There's still plenty of light down here for a vampire to see by.

In that case...

Hey, Himeragi.

What did you think of what Lydianne said earlier?

You mean what she said about Itogami Island being an altar to summon the Sinful God, Cain?

December said the same thing, didn't she?

She called Asagi, "The Priestess of Cain."

Yes...

Boyfriend-dono! Stay alert!

Activation of the defense mechanism confirmed!

Senpai!

Without so much as a warning, huh?

Just checking, but those are unmanned, right?

That is true, but... Boyfriend-dono?

Right. Hold this for me.

Senpai?

I haven't tried that before, but I guess it worked.

You're not allowed to "guess"!

Using magic in such a random way...

Why are you always so reckless!?

Hold on, Himeragi!

If you hit me now, I'll cry!

I mean it!

You're so difficult to deal with, Senpai.

You're pretty much the same, Himeragi.

Geez...

My apologies for breaking up the good atmosphere, but you would do well to hurry.

They have likely realized that you are on the way.

I know!

So this is where the tunnel leads.

This one will open the doors.

A moment, please!

This is Floor Zero?

Senpai!

So you came after all, Fourth Primogenitor.

What the hell are you doing here...

Itogami Meiga!

For the same reason as you.

The Priestess of Cain.

She's not here, however.

What!?

You don't believe me?

Of course not!

Who would believe the words of an escaped convict?

You seem to be misunderstanding something.

I have utterly no interest in you.

If you are willing to leave this instant, I might just make an exception and let you go.

Right back at you.

If you disappear from my sight this instant, I won't tell Natsuki-chan that you were here.

That's unfortunate.

I had felt just a little bit of affinity for you, however...

I pity you.

You're just like how I was in the past, a pitiful boy being tricked by the Lion King Organization.

Let's do this, convict!

Senpai!

Ouch!

Crap, did I go overboard?

I see.

So you knew that my Fangzahn nullifies magic, and decided to punch me instead?

That certainly took me by surprise.

Too bad, though.

You vampires aren't the only creatures that are immortal.

What the hell is he?

Living Dead? No wait.... A Jiangshi!?

Jiangshi?

A demon created using the corpse of a human...

A man-made vampire!

A half-baked vampire, to be exact.

However... That is precisely why I am able to use this failed weapon!

Senpai!

Dammit, this feeling... It's the Node's Corrosion!

Sekkarou!

It's pointless.

This spear is the failed weapon of the Lion King Organization.

It completely nullifies both magic and spiritual energy!

And with your spiritual power sealed away, there is no way that a mere human like you can defeat someone immortal like me!

You, who were saved by Touka in the past, will die by my hands.

I suppose this a fitting piece of irony for one such as me!

Touka-sama?

Why do you know that name?

Farewell, Priestess of the Spirit Wolf.

Himeragi! Run!

Senpai, No!

Senpai...?

Impossible... This power is...!?

You've gone and done it now, Lion King Organization.

So this is what you were really after!

What!?

I, Akatsuki Kojou, successor to the blood of "Kaleid Blood", now release your constraints.

Come, Fifth Familiar, Regulus Aurum!

Thank goodness, you're awake!

Kanase... Why am I...

Yukina-chan and you were collapsed at a beach on Island North.

That's what I heard from the young lady who found you.

Young lady?

Akatsuki Kojou!

What!?

Kirasaka!

Die!

Don't run, you idiot!

You're the worst!

Calm down for a second, just what did I do-

Taking advantage of the confusion to show off your goods again?

You perverted primogenitor!

I-I'm fine.

I'm used to it from taking care of cats.

I've even taken a few to get neutered.

Good idea, you should be neutered.

That's perfect for a guy like you!

Because of you, Yukina is...

Yukina's future is ruined!

K-Kirasaka...

Yukina!

Did something happen to Himeragi?

Where is she?

Yukina-chan is in the next room.

She's still asleep.

More importantly, Onii-san, please put on some clothes!

By the way, Kanase, where exactly am I?

You are in my laboratory, Fourth Primogenitor.

You're Kanase's dad...

So you're finally awake, Akatsuki Kojou.

How do you feel?

Nyanko-sensei!

I see, so the young lady who found us was not Kirasaka, but...

It was me.

It seems that my foolish students, including this one, have caused you no end of trouble.

But why are you here with Kanase's dad, Nyanko-sensei?

I used some pull to get this man to inspect Yukina.

He is currently the most knowledgeable person in the world about Angel Faux, after all.

Did you say... Angel Faux!?

Looks like you know what I am talking about, Fourth Primogenitor.

Angel Faux...

So the power that Himeragi used to destroy Itogami Meiga's Node Corruption...

It was the power of that false angel?

Node Corruption...

So that man was able to use Fangzahn to such an extent?

The spear that he used...

He said it was a failed weapon of the Lion King Organization.

Does he have something to do with the Lion King Organization?

That man was a failed attack mage turned researcher, who was hired by the Lion King Organization.

He was the designer of new divine weapons.

He died once in an accident during a trial run of the Fangzahn.

He was supposed to have died.

However, several years later, Meiga returned to the Lion King Organization all of a sudden.

And by that time...

He had turned into a Jiangshi?

As for who did that to him... Well, I have a fairly certain guess.

Who?

Itogami Senra. Meiga's grandfather.

The one who designed Itogami Island...!?

I heard that there were a lot of arguments about what to do with Meiga after he returned.

However, taking into account his talents, the Lion King Organization reinstated him with several conditions attached.

He would have to undergo periodic checks and counseling, and an observer was assigned to watch him.

A Sword Shaman of the Lion King Organization, Fujisaka Touka.

She was the wielder of an ancient divine weapon, which was called Sekkarou.

The first generation Sekkarou, huh?

I haven't heard of this.

But I've never heard of such a person in the Lion King Organization...

Well, of course.

She's no longer around.

She was sent on a mission as a Sword Shaman, and she never returned.

Immediately after that incident, Itogami Meiga became a magic criminal.

By the time Minamiya Natsuki threw him into the Prison Barrier,

he had already killed thirteen attack mages belonging to the Lion King Organization.

Because that person called Touka-san had died?

But it felt like he really hated the Lion King Organization.

Killing thirteen attack mages... isn't that a bit much for a temper tantrum?

About that...

On paper, Touka was said to have died after fighting a group of spellcasters on her own.

However, the truth was slightly different.

Touka did not die. She had evolved.

Evolved?

A side effect of wielding the Sekkarou.

A shift into a higher-dimensional existence, caused due to artificial spiritual evolution.

Touka turned into an Angel Faux.

Just like Yukina is now.

How do you do, Itogami Meiga?

I trust you had a pleasant nap?

I see.

So you were the one who intercepted the Fourth Primogenitor's Familiar back then.

Lord Ardeal, Dimitrie Vatler.

Thank you for saving me.

But why would you save me?

If you knew about the existence of Floor Zero, then you must also know what our true objective is.

Recreating the Cleansing, is it?

I can't wait.

I will succeed, but that means humanity will acquire the means to wipe all demonkind off the face of the Earth.

Even you Primogenitors will not be able to escape the destruction.

In that case, I just want to see it even more.

You see, the old-generation vampires are all bored of this life without end.

Being able to stand witness to the end of the world is the best entertainment that is left to us.

Don't you think so, Itogami Meiga?

In that case, I will do my best not to disappoint you, my Lord.

A small token of thanks for saving this false life of mine.

Goodbye.

Was it really okay to let him go, my Lord?

No matter. It's just a bit of fun.

Something to keep us entertained until the real banquet begins.

The power of the Cleansing that is said to even destroy primogenitors...

It should make for a rather fascinating show.

Now then, my beloved Fourth Primogenitor, it is nearly time.

Until then, I hope you have fun with that pitiful doll.

With the fake angel, atop this fake land.

You know...

Ever since I first met Yukina, I always thought that she seemed angelic.

She's cute, serious, kind, and beautiful...

I can't believe she'd actually turn into an angel, though.

Himeragi is no angel.

What do you mean, Himeragi turned into an Angel Faux?

The Schneewalzer fed on her spiritual energy and started to exhibit the same kind of divine vibrations as an Angel Faux.

In other words, it is an extremely high-output spiritual circuit.

Of course, this will have an effect on her body.

That is the side effect of using the Sekkarou.

The Lion King Organization knew about that, and you still made her carry that spear!?

It was a miscalculation.

Yukina had an exceptional affinity for that spear.

That is why she was chosen to be your observer, but...

It turns out that her affinity was too high.

Far higher than we had expected.

What is going to happen to Himeragi now?

She won't have any trouble living an ordinary life.

However, if she continues to use the Schneewalzer, her angel transformation will rapidly progress

and she will surpass Kanon's state when she fought against you.

In the end, she will phase shift into a higher dimensional existence.

In other words, she will be erased from our world.

That child is already broken beyond repair.

As a Sword Shaman, that is.

She sulks at the drop of a hat, and always goes too far.

She's scared of planes, likes mayonnaise way too much, and is strangely attached to that weird cat mascot.

That's what makes her cute, don't you think ?

Yukina really is an angel after all.

You really have a one-track mind, huh?

My respect for you just went up.

I-I don't want you to respect me or anything!

Still, I'm glad she managed to stay on this side, if barely.

Himeragi still has the chance to stop observing me and have an ordinary, happy life.

What does that mean?

We were raised from childhood to become attack mages, you know.

I have absolutely no idea what I would do if someone told me to have an ordinary, happy life.

It's not like the Lion King Organization would kick her out just because she can't be a Sword Shaman anymore, right?

Well, that's true... but...

There was a spirit testing kit in Yukina's room.

She knew about her condition beforehand.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to be a Sword Shaman for much longer.

Then why didn't she say anything to me?

She was in danger of disappearing altogether!

That's because, to her, a happy and ordinary life means...

It's nothing! Just die already, you idiot!

Ouch!

What the hell are you so mad about all of a sudden?

Anyway, with things as they are, I'll help out with Aiba Asagi's rescue as well.

Kirasaka...

I know that you would never abandon Aiba Asagi,

and if you decide to make a move, Yukina might push herself too hard again.

So this isn't for you or Aiba Asagi, I'm doing it for Yukina, got it?

That helps a lot. Thank you, Kirasaka.

Lydianne? What's up?

This one has solved the puzzle of the deserted Floor Zero!

This one has found out the true location of the Empress!

The true identity of room "C" where the Empress is being held...

It is a submarine that was docked in Floor Zero of the Keystone Gate.

The Empress is currently 400 meters below sea level, directly under Itogami Island!

That's delicious!

The rich seafood and pork broth from Itogami Noodle House is really something else!

Thank you for finishing your meal.

Thanks for the food!

Ah, this skirt from Best Answers is pretty cute.

These pants aren't too bad either, but...

Hey Mogwai, what do you think?

Mogwai?

II see you have already become proficient at controlling this little garden.

You truly are a fast learner, Digital Empress.

Don't call me by that embarrassing nickname. Umm...

You can call me Popess.

You already understand everything, don't you?

Even who I really am.

I saw everything that was inside the coffin, after all.

And you are still fine?

Even after seeing the Sinful God Cain's memories, and learning the truth about this world?

I've been living in this world since I was born, so it's a little too late for doubts.

I grew up in the Demon District, after all.

Would you be willing to trade with me?

I can release you from this place .

Which means that you would take my place, right?

And? What do you want to do after taking my place?

What is your wish, Popess?

A curse.

An eternal cursed brand upon those who wield the Sinful God's power.

Sorry, but that doesn't work for me.

He who digs a pit shall fall into it himself.

Thinking about some silly curse will just make you unhappy instead.

Unhappy, you say?

Do you think there could be an unhappiness greater than this form?

Popess... You...

Pitiful and detestable Priestess of the Sinful God...

I shall dye your world in the colors of eternal grief and resentment.

Feel the power of my blood curse!

Calling me over with a phone call as if I'm a delivery pizza...

Looks like you've gotten quite full of yourself.

What's going on, Lion King Organization's ponytail girl and Akatsuki Kojou?

That's... Stop...

Natsuki-chan, your anger is warranted, but we have a good reason-

Ouch!

Show some respect for your class teacher!

So why did you call me out here?

Is it about that little girl pretending to be a celebrity?

Ah, that's not really her...

CG, right? I am aware.

The real one is cuter.

Sensei-dono!

This one has found out the location of the real Empress!

I'm surprised you brought out such a thing in the open, despite my isolation barrier...

This is Hizamaru Mk II.

The new equipment, a submersible drone, is currently

four hundred meters below Itogami Island and is looking for the Empress's exact location!

Floor Zero of the Keystone Gate...

Cain's Coffin, huh?

You know about it?

I'm her class teacher, you know?

So what? You want me to get her out of there?

That's too deep for a person to dive unaided, but with your teleport we can...

That's impossible.

Would the casket that serves as the keystone to the Sinful God's resurrection

be left alone without any precautions against magical interference?

I see, a barrier...

Then what should we do?

You don't have to worry, the casket will be returning to the Keystone Gate soon.

For... resupply?

No. Because the preparations are complete.

Preparations? For what?

The Cleansing.

Isn't that right, Hell Wolf?

Where is the Sword Shaman girl, Fourth Primogenitor?

You mean Himeragi? She won't be fighting anymore!

You will never see her again!

I don't care if you are a Jiangshi or whatever, just try and lay a finger on my Yukina!

I'll curse you to death, slash you, cut you into pieces, and turn you into ash!

She managed to escape? She didn't disappear?

You think something like that would be allowed?

Boyfriend-dono! Floor Zero has started filling up with water!

Also, there is a massive amount of data on the network that this one has never seen before!

This is-!?

Itogami Meiga... Don't tell me, you...!

Come out! Al-Nasl-Minium!

Koukarin!

No way!

You've got to be kidding me...

If she's not going to put in an appearance, then I will drag her out by force.

Even if I have to transform the very world to do it!
