I don't remember a thing from last night.

It's like I got drunk and passed out or something.

Did that nutty teacher give me her drink by accident?

Some guardian she is.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Did you go pay your respects to your mom and dad?

Y-Yes, last night.

Oh. That's good, then.

Well, I'll meet you there.

Sure. I'll see you later.

Yeah.

Mornin', Okumura!

Whoa, that's some serious bedhead!

Did you get to your room okay last night?

I don't remember a thing.

That's not surprising! Man, I was right not to drink that "juice!"

What about you? You okay with talking to me like a normal person?

Yeah.

- Ren... - That voice!

...zo!

What the heck was that, Kin?

What do you mean, "What?"

That was a flying kick. Are you some kind of idiot?

You're the idiot! A total idiot!

Renzo! It's good to see you're looking well!

Ju!

Oh, this is my friend, Okumura.

Oh, are you? I'm Juzo!

I'm Renzo's big brother.

Hello.

Hey, Koneko!

Come and join us for breakfast!

I'm already done.

What's his problem?

Shima!

Um... Why are you so friendly with Okumura?

Juzo and Kinzo don't know what he is!

What're you gonna tell them if they ever find out he's the son of Satan?

What am I gonna do? Whatever will happen will happen, I guess.

Why don't you ever take anything seriously?

Are you sure you guys aren't overthinking things?

It's way harder to go out of my way to avoid Okumura.

I was a little freaked out, too.

But now it's just too big a hassle to think about.

I mean, Okumura's a good guy.

Even you have to see that, Koneko.

Oh, right.

I heard there's a Myoda Sect general meeting happening today, right?

Man, I don't envy you as the head of the Miwa family.

I am so glad I'm the fifth son!

She's already working?

Right!

Suguro's mom!

If you have any spare candles, can I have them?

Candles?

Basically, I want as many as possible!

What the hell is keeping Dad?

Bon!

We're starting the general meeting!

I'll be right there.

That bald bozo! Why isn't he here?

What does he think he's doing?

Episode 3: Suspicion Will Raise Bogies

The Master isn't here yet?

Everyone.

Thank you for answering my abrupt summons and coming here today.

There is something I must tell you all.

The Master is apparently tied up with important business and is unable to attend.

Even if he is absent, this is a pressing matter, so I'm going to start the meeting without him.

I have asked the heads of all the families to attend,

along with all those involved in the recent incident with the Right Eye.

Juzo. Please begin by telling us in detail what happened that day in the Deep Keep?

Yes, sir.

That day, the sacred invocation fire in front of the monk's seat was behaving strangely.

So I summoned the Master.

I'm terribly sorry for asking you to come all the way here.

Think nothing of it. I'm glad to offer any help I can.

Let's have a look.

Master Tatsuma.

You don't intend to join the Order?

Mamushi! Don't distract the Master!

I don't think so. You'd never guess it, but I'm very busy right now.

With a very important task.

According to Myoda oral tradition,

when Fukaku, Myoda's founder, forced the Impure King into submission,

nothing remained in this world but his right eye, which glared with hate at Fukaku.

It is said that he established the Myo-O Dharani Sect

to keep it sealed away by his descendants!

So for those born into Myoda, safeguarding the Right Eye is our destiny and mission!

What could be so important that you would forsake that duty?

Mamushi! Mind your tongue!

Be patient with me, Mamushi.

Just give the word and I'll come running, so forgive me.

Master! What's happening?

Everyone! Run!

Yes, sir!

I will protect the Right Eye!

What is that?

Come back, Mamushi!

Everyone, fall back!

No!

The seal on the Right Eye, it's melting!

Dad!

So those nearest to the Impure King's Right Eye were my three daughters, Juzo, Yaozo, and...

...Head Priest Tatsuma, who is absent. Those six people.

I've brought you all here for one reason!

To smoke out the traitor in our midst!

Incidentally, this man, who is thought to have aided in the theft of the Left Eye,

is the former director of the Japan Branch's Deep Keep,

Senior Exorcist Second Class Saburota Todo.

As I understand it,

Juzo and Mamushi, this man was your instructor at exorcism cram school.

What are you implying?

Father! Do you suspect me?

No one else has direct ties to Todo.

You're joking!

All I did was study under him!

As I recall, Shima, you were on rather good terms with Todo.

His lessons were interesting, that's all! That's hardly "on good terms!"

I am simply stating the facts.

In that case, Mamushi,

why did you try to get close to the Right Eye during the attack?

I thought the Eye was in danger!

Why would you think that then? How did you know?

Wh-What are you trying to say?

I'm saying your behavior is suspicious!

Father! You must believe me!

Shima is saying this to shift suspicion away from himself!

Mamushi! The investigation is still underway! Calm yourself!

When it happened,

when the sacred invocation flame sprang to life,

it almost seemed...

It appeared to me that Master Tatsuma was controlling the flames.

What's more, he was chanting a mantra I had never heard before.

Hey, she's right!

It almost looked as if he was urging it on!

Why was the existence of the Left Eye kept hidden from us in the first place?

Yes, Master Tatsuma must have known of it. So why?

Surely Master Tatsuma wasn't behind—

Please stop right there!

Please don't say such ridiculous things!

You always have been close to Master Tatsuma.

Besides, isn't the fact that he hasn't come to this inquiry all the proof we need?

Yes! How could he blow off something so important?

Everyone, calm down!

Who else could it be, then?

Enough!

This is getting us nowhere.

I will discuss matters with Uwabami.

Why don't we reconvene at a later date with the Master present?

For today, this meeting is adjourned.

Bon, are you all right?

Everyone is crazy if they suspect the Master! He couldn't possibly have been involved!

Are you sure?

They're right to suspect him.

Aren't you thinking the exact same thing?

I-I'd never—

Konekomaru!

Sorry.

Would you mind leaving me alone?

Bon...

Miss Moriyama!

Take that herbal tea to Miss Kamiki.

Yes, sir!

Kamiki is so amazing...

Excuse me... Kamiki, this is for—

I-I'm sorry, Ka-Kamiki!

You didn't get wet, did you?

We've got things covered here,

so can you go to the garden and pick some valerian for me?

Y-Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

I'm... worse than useless!

What am I gonna do? At this rate, I...

Nee! Here, boy!

I knew it...

Nee! Bring out some bug repellent roux!

Nee hasn't appeared since then.

Because I'm so useless...

I had been cooped up in a little world.

Just what is it that's gotten such a hold over you?

Rin, he...

He dragged me into the outside world.

And that other day, he meant to save me.

But in spite of that, I...

Move.

Kamiki?

What are you daydreaming about?

You were taking forever, so I got sent out to pick those herbs.

So move aside.

I-I'm sorry!

What's your problem lately, anyway?

If you've got something to say, come out and say it!

I...

I wanted to be useful to everybody.

But all I do is get underfoot!

At this rate...

At this rate, I won't...

When my friends are in trouble, I won't be able to help!

Because I can't be counted on!

That's why... That's why Rin and Yuki...

That's why they never told me what was going on with them!

- Crap! - Hey! Who told you to set the roof on fire?

Get off my case, Boobzilla!

What's he doing?

It's so frustrating!

I want to be strong!

You amaze me, you know that?

You're plenty strong as it is. Or maybe more like resilient.

I-I am?

You're resilient and robust. Like a weed!

A weed?

Wh-What? If you're gonna cry again, don't!

I love weeds!

Thanks, Kamiki!

I'll try really hard to be as tough as a weed!

H-How resilient is this girl?

It's like she's super resilient.

What's the matter?

Kamiki, are you all right?

It's nothing!

You could buy every last candle in Kyoto and it might not be enough.

Relax, I've got it covered!

I just need to ask Suguro's mom and she'll get me as many as I want!

Oh, that's good to hear.

Hey, that means you totally expect to fail!

I do not!

I think this is gonna take a while...

I'm gonna buy some beer.

- Damn it, again? - Look, don't think "Boom!"

Don't I keep telling you to picture a "Poof!" of flame lighting the candles?

I'm gonna go cool off.

Crap... "Poof," huh?

Poof...

Poof?

Poof. Poof. Poof.

Poofity poof!

Poof?

Sheesh, I have no idea if he's getting closer or even further away.

Man, that hit the spot!

Father. Mother. Honored ancestors.

I'm... powerless.

What do you think I should do?

The head of the Miwa family...

Konekomaru!

Wha? Hey!

Okay, now I'm mad!

Why are you running from me?

I'm trying to make up with you, dammit!

O-Okumura, I want you to stay away from Bon!

H-He's having a tough time right now!

I'm not talking about Bon!

Konekomaru, I'm talking to you right now!

I...

I have nothing.

I... don't have any family.

Or talent like Bon or Shima.

On the Blue Night 16 years ago,

the followers at my temple died in those blue flames.

Blue flames can kill people!

My grandpa!

And Shima's grandpa and oldest brother! And Konekomaru's dad!

I was alone,

but the people of the Myoda Sect took me in and raised me.

So I want to repay them someday.

In the future, I want to work to help the Myoda.

They're the only place I can go back to.

They're my home!

Anyone who threatens them...

...is an enemy to me!

Okay. I get it.

So... Once you see that I'm not a threat, you'll make up with me, right?

It's just like you said.

My training isn't going too well. I've still got zero control over my flames.

It's no surprise I make you nervous.

Okay, I get it now!

Right!

I'm going back to my training!

Oh, right.

Seems to me you've got a whole lot of stuff you want to protect.

You've say got nothing? As if.

I mean, Okumura's a good guy.

Even you have to see that, Koneko.

Okumura...

Get a handle on your flames already, for crying out loud.

How long are you gonna keep at this training?

I know!

Training?

Rin...

Okay, then I will too!

I'll catch up to you.

So wait for me!

I can't believe they suspect Sister!

Shima has to be the culprit!

You two believe me, don't you?

- Of course we do, Sister! - Of course we do, Sister!

Dad...

What the hell are you up to?

Well, then...

Let's begin again today.

I'll get it this time!

Next Time

Episode 4: Act of Treachery

What's going on here, Juzo?

Our superiors can no longer be trusted!

Bon!

Say something, Dad!

I can't tell this secret to anyone. Not even to my own son.

Is this okay with you? Well, is it?

Rin!

Don't write off your old man so easily!
