Knights of the True Cross

- Okay, go! - We need you over here!

Episode 12: Candid and Open

I'm home!

Dad!

Tatsuma!

Don't fret, I'm fine! I'm light-headed from blood loss, that's all!

Tatsuma...

You...

You didn't tell me this would happen! You complete numbskull!

Ow! Torako, that hurts!

They say the Impure King strike team is back!

I wonder how things went?

What're you doing? Stay in bed!

Monkey...

I'll give you the good news first.

We defeated the Impure King.

The master and the rest are fine.

Everything's fine, so don't look so miserable.

Kuro?

Is this the Suguro family's inn?

Man, it's hot.

Oh, Rin...

You're awake, huh?

I'm glad.

Why are you s-sleeping in here for? Were you hurt?

No, I'm fine.

I only came here to get an IV drip, but I nodded off as I was looking at your face.

Rin, you did great.

Suguro and the others said you really saved the day.

Yeah... To be honest, things got kinda dicey.

But thanks to everyone, it all worked out.

A-And I also remembered what you told me.

It really encouraged me.

Th... Thanks.

Really?

I was helpful to you?

Yeah, you sure were. You were a huge help.

I'm so happy!

Rin!

H-Hey!

Hey, listen.

I...

From now on, no matter what happens,

I'll be your friend!

We'll be friends forever and ever, okay?

Forev—

I said it! I actually said it!

Did she just permanently Friend Zone me?

Wh-Why you...

Shima?

Sorry! I couldn't hold it in any longer!

Wh-What are you doing here?

Well, I didn't want to head back to my folks' place.

They said there was no room for us students,

so they put us here in the manager's room.

How long?

I heard every word.

I'm here too, you know.

Izumo? And the Ventriloquist? You guys were here, too?

Bon and Koneko have their own rooms, so they're resting there.

You have my sympathies, I mean it.

I feel for you.

Oh, right! We're heading back to Tokyo in two days,

so Ms. Kirigakure says we can have tomorrow off!

So if you want...

Goodness! What a grand accomplishment, Director Shima!

Not only was it my own carelessness that led to this problem,

another matter kept me from coming sooner, so you have my deepest apologies!

However, I can say without a doubt

that not even the Paladin's own Angelic Legion could have handled the situation better.

No, we merely fought while we waited for support from the Vatican to arrive.

Our victory was solely due to that boy.

About that...

Should you receive a summons from the Vatican,

I would like you to appear before them and provide testimony on this matter.

Yes, of course.

I would only be speaking the truth.

If that will be all, I must go.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Commander Kirigakure, feel free to go back and get some rest yourself.

We're alone at last.

Oh, my.

As I recall, you're a Japanese ninja.

A descendant of the Kirigakure-style kunoichi, yes?

Come on, care to join me?

I'm afraid that after I pass out drunk, you'll behead me.

I'd never go to all that trouble!

Noihaus. Amaimon. And now the Impure King.

They're all part of some plan of yours?

What a splendid view.

And your choice of students seems rather deliberate, too.

And of me.

And I bet you knowingly let Takara into the cram school to see what he does.

What are you going to use Rin for?

Is that plan going smoothly? Is it?

I'm surprised.

I thought you were a woman who didn't get attached to anything.

Are you that concerned about what happens to Rin Okumura?

This is me doing my job.

Remind me, how old are you?

Don't be so cavalier with your life.

It'd be regrettable if a beautiful lady like you

were to die so young.

I've got my eye on you.

What a charming woman.

What's that con artist up to?

Rin probably won't be executed.

And even if an execution order did come down, Mephisto is sure to protect him.

'Cause he seems to have some grand plan involving Rin.

So you can relax for the time being, Yukio.

I have to write up my report.

Did I wake you?

Your clothes...

Have you not slept since yesterday?

Yeah.

Sleep in a real bed!

I swear, you're a slob in the weirdest ways.

You're exhausted because you worry all the time.

Get some rest.

Brother,

I have something to tell you,

so don't run away.

What now?

The Impure King's been defeated.

In other words, there's nothing keeping everyone in Myoda anymore!

I have to get Dad to step up as head priest and unite Myoda!

Bon, good morning!

'Morning.

- What's the deal, old man? - Help, it's a juvenile delinquent!

What are you doing?

Huh? I'm cleaning.

I mean your clothes!

Oh! I don't have anything keeping me at the temple anymore,

so I figured I'd work here at the Toraya inn to help Torako!

What are you saying?

Ryuji.

There you are, Master Tatsuma! Bon, you too! Please come with me!

And so, I've decided to take Mamushi as my wife!

I was already thinking about settling down, so now's the perfect time.

H-How dare you speak for me! I haven't agreed to anything!

Agreed? It's the natural next step after yesterday.

Stop that! D-Don't talk about such trivial things!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Curse you, you monkey! What have you done to our sister?

Say it ain't so, Juzo! Not to this skinny snake chick!

I thought you were gonna marry a blonde babe with a killer body!

What did you say? You horny Shima monkey!

No one bad-mouths our sister!

- Who are you callin' a horny monkey? - What's going on here?

Silence!

J-Juzo...

It seems to me that Mamushi is not amenable.

Perhaps you should talk this over some more?

It's an important matter, after all.

I agree, but I don't think us talking will bring her around.

Indeed! Our sister would never marry the likes of you!

Mamushi.

I'm serious about marrying you. Are you really against it?

I'm going to be punished. I wouldn't be permitted to marry.

All the better, then!

Just think of marrying me as your punishment!

That's how it'll play out.

I'm not as big a fool as you!

I... I wouldn't... think of that as punishment.

- Big sister! - Big sister!

Juzo...

Sir?

Not only will Mamushi be stripped of her Meister over this,

her expulsion is all but certain.

What's more, her right eye will never fully recover.

You would have her as your wife all the same?

Yes.

I ask you formally, Uwabami...

Give me Mamushi's hand in marriage!

- Please take good care of my little girl! - That was fast!

Thank you very much!

Wait, I still haven't accep—

Oh, what a happy day!

Juzo's a man's man, all right.

See that?

Even if you try to do everything by yourself, folks go and make their own plans.

Just let it be.

That's exactly what you did for over a decade!

Why didn't you let it be?

Because you were important.

Y-You're not going to recite the sutras anymore?

You don't need me to sing you lullabies anymore.

Whoa! Juzo's gonna marry Mamushi?

They're practically family! That's gross.

Shima?

Bon, Koneko! I've been looking for you!

Here's the thing...

You guys want the tourist traps, right? Do we start with Kinkakuji Temple, then?

What are you talking about, Shima?

We should start with Toji Temple since it's the closest!

We'll never squeeze everything in unless we plan out our route!

Fine.

If there's anything else you want to see, let me know now!

I-I'd like to try some local sweets! Things like anmitsu and kuzukiri!

I've always wanted to visit the Fushimi Inari shrine.

Introduce me to some maiko girls!

Ooh! Ooh!

I wanna go to Kyoto Tower!

Here we go...

Kyoto Tower? But Kyoto has lots of other sights to see.

Told you so.

Aw, please! I've had my heart set on it even before we got here!

It's the earnest request of the son of Satan, so humor him.

He'll burn you to a crisp.

You still think I'm like that?

Very well.

As the son of Satan wishes, so shall it be done.

You too, Konekomaru?

Kyoto Pickles

I want this so bad!

But it's pricey, so I'll go with this one!

Guys.

L-Look, I've got a favor to ask.

I know I don't have any right to ask you all...

but would you mind taking a picture with me here?

Crud. But I don't wanna get torched by the son of Satan because we said no.

If it's an order from the son of Satan, we don't have much choice.

You tried to make it sound polite, but it sure came off as a threat to me.

As the son of Satan wishes, so shall it be done.

You're still running with that gag? You're mean!

No way, he has to run with it! It's too good a gag to pass up!

You don't gotta beg us for permission to take one little picture.

Is everyone ready?

Okay, everyone in position?

Roger!

Okay.

Here we go, then! Say "Tawawa"!

Hey, wait a minute! Is that "SATAN"?

Hey, Yukio! Over here!

Why here of all places?

Why not? I just wanted some brother quality time.

Yukio.

I'm gonna become an Exorcist.

As Satan's son.

I don't approve.

How many lives have been upended over the years because of your power?

You're feeling full of yourself because you defeated the Impure King.

I regret what I did.

That I forced you into using Satan's power to do it.

You're becoming Satan's son more and more each day.

What will come of that?

Until I'm certain it doesn't pose a threat, I won't be able to relax.

I can't approve of it.

I gave my word to our father that I would keep you safe!

Fine, then. You do that.

I'm not saying to change how you view things.

I bet we're both wrong and we're both right.

But we always have each other's backs.

Why?

Damn it.

Come on, we're brothers, right?

Why doesn't he have any doubts?

He can't win!

Say, Yukio...

You and the old man fought side by side, right?

I'm jealous of you. I wish I could've fought alongside him.

I wish I could've had him teach me stuff.

Tell me some war stories about the old man sometime, okay?

Sure, I will.

If and when you become an Exorcist.

When are you gonna stop being such a hardass?

Man, you and I are like oil and water!

I suppose we are.

But if I ever do become an Exorcist,

us busting some demons as a brother team might be cool!

Wouldn't that be fun?

Yes... I guess.

I know, right?

If and when you become an Exorcist.

T-Twice with that line...

You jerk, you're always treating me like an idiot!

I'm gonna make you eat my dust, you hear?

You, make me?

I doubt that. Those jokes must sound funnier in your head.

Huh? Hang on, I feel like we already had this conversation a long time ago.

Oh, well. I'm glad we had this little chat!

If you ever need anything, my door's open!

Seeing as how I'm your big brother and all.

I won't.

Really?

Hey, Kuro! Where have you been?

The person I hate is myself.

That's why I've always wanted to be like Father and Rin.

That's why...

I'm gonna make you eat my dust, you hear?

...you took those words out of my mouth, Rin.

Hey, Yukio!

Time to get moving!

That's the real me.
