EPISODE 6 "CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE ANYMORE"

The Kamiki family is...

descended from a messenger of the god Ukanomitama no Kami.

As a branch of the Inami family,

they live quietly in a shrine near the Inari Grand Shrine.

Kamiki Izumo was born there.

Her mother is the 64th head priestess of the Kamiki family, Tamamo Kamiki.

Izumo, help me!

Everyone is so cold to Tama-chan!

Everyone's treating me like I'm alone the one to blame.

Isn't that terrible?

Can't be helped. You're doing something that looks bad to the outside world!

That's not true!

Sou-sama and I are in love! There's nothing to be ashamed of!

Enough already!

Normal mothers don't have to be rescued by their daughters!

Why not!? You're so cold!

It's natural for Izumo to help Tama-chan because you're my daughter!

Besides, Sou-sama is your father, right? Take it more seriously!

A father who never comes to visit might as well not exist!

Sou-sama is just busy with his duties!

Someday, we'll be a family together, and I'll be a wonderful wife!

Here, Tama-chan, your breakfast.

Thank you, Uke-chan!

Tamamo, I hung the laundry.

Thank you, Mike!

Some housewife! You're letting the fox deities do all the housework!

Oh, it's fine! This is part of Tama-chan's talent!

Right, everyone?

It's fine because Tamamo is cute.

It's because you all spoil her like this!

- Despite Tamamo being such a seemingly - You have your morning duties, right?

- unreliable and slovenly woman... - You have your morning duties, right?

Okay!

But as a priestess, she possessed powerful spiritual abilities.

The Kamiki family had been tasked with pacifying 'demons.'

The 'Killing Stone,'

a cursed stone that kills any living being that approaches it and revives the dead.

The Killing Stone is the crystallization of a nine-tailed fox,

once defeated by an Onmyoji.

The Kamiki were a lineage established by the Onmyoji,

tasked with calming the curse of the nine tails.

Generations of priestesses take the name of 'Tamamo,'

and perform the 'Kamioroshi' Kagura dance.

By fully embodying and merging with the nine tails, they calm it.

The current Tamamo dances more powerfully and beautifully

than any previous priestess.

I have duties outside today, so please leave Tsukumo at the office.

I'm going to miss you, my treasures!

S-Stop it!

Tamamo was a mysteriously charming woman who couldn't be completely hated,

but Izumo and Tsukumo grew up in a complex situation as illegitimate children

of the current head priest, Soji Inami, of the main family.

Please take care of Tsukumo.

Sure, go ahead.

Come on, Tsukumo.

What's wrong, Tsukumo?

Moreover,

- Don't wanna. - being children of the Kamiki,

- Don't wanna. - who handle the Killing Stone,

- It's alright. - They faced scorn and sneers.

- Show me the amulet I gave you. - They faced scorn and sneers.

With this, you're not alone, Tsukumo. You're invincible!

Now, keep it safe in your bag. I'll come back right after school, okay?

Okay.

I hope Tsukumo isn't being treated harshly.

My siblings are watching over her. It'll be okay.

But still, could you go check on her?

Fine, fine.

Look, Kamiki-san is talking to herself again.

That's creepy!

Izumo was always isolated.

You got this, you got this!

Good job!

It can't be helped. I have no one to rely on.

I have to be strong...!

Clumsy fool!

Are you trying to mimic Tamamo's Divine Summoning?

You're not even close!

N-No!

I... I just thought I needed to learn it quickly...

Whether you learn the divine descent or succeed Tamamo,

we will never become your servants.

You're not cute.

That's right, not cute.

Why is cuteness the standard!?

As expected of Inari Grand Shrine!

There are foxes everywhere!

Nice to meet you, Kamiki Izumo-chan.

Dr. Gedouin, leave this to me.

Tch!

Sorry for talking to you so suddenly.

We're researchers from Illuminati,

a cutting-edge demon research facility.

De... mons?

Illumi...?

Yes.

We refer to beings invisible to ordinary people,

like those foxes over there, as 'demons.'

- Who are you calling demons! Y-You can see them!?

Yes.

We're actually here to inquire

about the Killing Stone that your family manages.

We Illuminati are working to eliminate the barrier between humans and demons.

If we can extract the power of the nine-tailed fox from the Killing Stone,

a world where demons and humans can live in harmony might arrive.

Could we have a moment to talk?

What is that? Sounds shady!

The Killing Stone is a stone that no one but the Kamiki can touch.

I don't believe you can extract the power of the nine-tails!

Tch!

Excuse me!

Wait!

It doesn't have to be right now.

If you ever have any trouble, contact us.

I struggled too as a child because I could see demons.

Maybe I can at least offer advice.

I'm home!

Some weird people just came by—

Izumo, I'm going on a date with Sou-sama after such a long time!

Take care of Tsukumo!

Have a good time.

I'll be back, my treasures!

That is how the Illuminati began to creep into this land bit by bit.

I have to be strong.

Inari Tourism City Project?

Yeah.

The Inari Light Foundation plans to turn the grand shrine area into a tourist spot.

If they do, it'll attract more visitors and worshipers.

I don't quite understand,

but if Sou-sama is happy, then I'm happy too.

Sou-sama, could you please come to visit our house sometime?

The kids have been looking forward to it too!

About that, Tamamo...

Yes, Sou-sama!

Try not to involve the children so much.

I don't want to see the kids.

I like you, but keep bringing them up,

and I might start wanting to see you less too.

Since then, I think Tamamo began to become slightly off.

Tamamo...

Tama-chan, take a little break.

That's right! With your heart in such a state, performing the divine summoning

will only give the nine-tailed fox an opening!

I'm fine.

Tamamo began to avoid her duties.

Mom! You've been going too much lately!

Even Tsukumo feels lonely...

Shut up!

It's your fault!

Ne-ne, when is Tama-chan coming back?

She'll come back when her work is done. She's just busy now.

Excuse me, did something happen?

The Inami family suddenly collapsed all at once!

And yet, the priest does not come out from the lodging with Lady Tamamo.

Your mother is a terrible woman.

Ne-ne?

Let's go...

What...

My beloved, beloved...

...beloved...

My dear Sou-sama...

Has Lady Tamamo been enchanted by a demon?!

Blood...?!

Mo... ther...?

Izumo...

are you trying to interfere with Tama-chan again?

Everything...

everything... it's all...

It's all your fault!

It's because of you, Sou-sama became cold to me.

If only you had never been born...!

S-Stop!

Tamamo, tell me this isn't true!

Uke! Mike!

It's too late for Tama-chan! She's fully assimilated with the nine-tails!

Run!

Mike!

Mom...

Mom!

Mom!

Hello?

It's Kamiki Izumo.

What happened, Izumo-chan?

My mother has been possessed by the nine-tailed fox.

What?!

Please remove the nine-tailed fox from my mother!

You maggots!

After the capture of Tamamo,

The Killing Stone disappeared.

That meant that the nine-tails was resurrected by possessing Tamamo.

The resurrection of the nine-tails

seems to have been a favorable thing for them.

Come with us before the Exorcists come.

It's a laboratory built recently in Inari.

Exor... cist?

The True Cross Order.

If they find out about your mother, they'll kill her without mercy.

It's alright.

We, the Illuminati, will protect you.

However...

However, that promise would not be fulfilled.

To obtain the nine-tails' power,

they put Tamamo through pain worse than death.

The wickedness of it was unimaginable.

Izumo and Tsukumo were kept

as replacements in case Tamamo became unsuitable for further experimentation.

TEN DAYS AFTER THE CAPTURE

Tsukumo...

Tsukumo!

She's been taken away!

No...

No!

Open up! Give Tsukumo back!

Tsuku—

Izumo-chan...

I'm so sorry!

It's all my fault!

Tsukumo-chan is safe.

I put her up for adoption.

What?!

They won't find her that easily, and she will be protected.

You—

What are you talking about? Give her back!

Tsukumo-chan is in danger!

Dr. Gedouin plans to use you two if your mom's body doesn't hold up.

They're going to use Tsukumo-chan for experimentation tomorrow.

Sorry for not letting you say goodbye.

I wanted to do the right thing...

I'm sorry...

I want to at least help you two.

I still have something I must do.

But, I'll be back soon.

Then, you'll escape with me.

Wait for a bit.

Wait!

Don't lock me in, otherwise, I can't believe what you say.

Alright.

But you mustn't leave this room until I come back.

Please trust me.

How could I trust you?

I will protect Tsukumo.

To believe I was part of this inhumane research...

Huh...

Didn't think you were such a humanist.

Yoshida-kun,

what business do you have with my laptop at this hour?

I wanted to check something I had a question with.

Excuse me.

Stop right there.

You...

Did you forget to lock the Kamiki sisters' observation room?

It's an automatic lock!

How dumb do you have to be to miss something like that?

...and...

Where did you take the little sister?

Hmm?

Right after I said that I was going to use her for experiments.

When I had them look into it,

they found you've accessed a private adoption agency from your computer.

No way...

Huh?! You've got to be kidding me!

Capture that woman!

You damn traitor!

I'm put in charge of the whole laboratory here by Lord Lucifer!

To betray me is the same as betraying Lord Lucifer!

Prepare Elixer #1021.

Y-Yes.

If you're lucky, you get an immortal body.

If not, then your central nervous system will be immediately destroyed.

Which will lead to the slow necrosis of living tissue.

At least be a cornerstone of our research.

Stop!

Please stop!

I won't do anything stupid like this anymore!

I swear!

I'll do anything...

...so please...

Help!

...please, anything but that!

Then kneel before me!

Recite the Illuminati's motto!

W-We are heroes who stand up to lead the world into harmony

and create one world with no demons or humans.

Even with hardships in our path, we never waver...

I swear!

Help me!

Exactly!

Your half-baked humanism isn't needed here!

Do you understand?

Fine, I will forgive you on behalf of Lord Lucifer.

Kidding. I wouldn't forgive you like that, stupid.

Now, now, now!

Come on! Let it be a success!

Tch.

Dammit, immediate death.

Useless as predicted.

Whoops, sorry to keep you waiting, Izumo-chan.

Your mother is...

...an ingredient of Elixer, a wonder drug of immortality

that revitalizes the human body's cells.

You two sisters...

are stock for when your mother is used up.

Oh yeah, did you learn Divine Summoning from your mom?

Well? What's your reply?

Well, you can think about that later.

I have several methods.

Since we need you to inherit the nine-tails later.

Hmm, is that the attitude you want to take?

It'll be easy for us Illuminati to find and bring back your sister, Tsukumo.

But...

...if you're obedient,

I'll leave Tsukumo-chan alone for a while.

This all happened because I relied on someone.

Promise?

I will never...

...rely on or trust anyone ever again.

I'm going to slit all your throats in your sleep.

I'll listen to you...

...so don't lay a finger on Tsukumo.
