Ohmi-san.

Ah, the crow.

Let's see what you've got...

Snake.

Appear!

The Truth Behind the Tears

Ohmi-san!

Appear!

Mahiro!

Burn!

Wow.

I want to eat him.

That was dangerous, damn it!

Ohmi-san, tell me the truth.

Isn't it all an act?

All for the purpose of taking back the Artifacts?

You still have such naive ideas?

Yuichi!

I'm all right with you losing your lives here,

but I cannot bring myself to do it to former friends.

Go home and tell the others:

Never strike at Logos again.

Either we will take the Onikirimaru or you will hand it over to us.

The result is the same either way.

The only thing left will be the Tamayori princess' life.

Think it over carefully.

What a cowardly bunch.

But that Ohmi...

What could he be thinking?

Why is Logos' presence so close?

The Onikirimaru?!

Takuma?

Damn it...

The three gods said to the Tamayori princess,

"Teach us how to banish the Oni.

Someday,

it will become a monster that swallows the world."

They fought with the Oni for seven days and seven nights.

The Youko and Orochi lost their lives

and the Oni was destroyed.

You're not planning...

...on burdening yourself with everyone, are you?

Takuma!

Step back.

Demon, step back from the Tamayori princess.

Grandma!

Quickly.

I knew as soon as I saw you.

Takuma, you must stay away from Tamaki.

Grandma, wait.

This is the Onikirimaru's fault.

If we could just contain the Onikirimaru's power...

And when will that be?

You cannot seal away the Onikirimaru's power as you are now.

You don't even know what to do to seal its power.

The gods are restless and Logos is back...

Takuma.

You and the Onikirimaru are opposite sides of each other.

While at once being your opposite, strength also calls forth greater strength.

If the Onikirimaru awakens at the Tamayori princess' side,

you will become a demon.

If you become a demon,

the Onikirimaru will gain catastrophic power.

Stop it, Grandma!

I'll do something for Takuma.

Just before, I was able to drive back—

Just because you've driven it back once doesn't mean you can do it every time.

On the contrary, it can cause him to go wild.

Your awakening is not complete.

Tamaki, right now you are attempting to awaken the demon inside of Takuma.

It is fine now.

But soon Takuma will lose his humanity,

and will bare his fangs to the Tamayori princess.

Eventually he will catch the Tamayori and attempt to kill her.

I'll...

kill Tamaki?

Takuma!

Takuma Onizaki!

I'm placing you under suspension.

Leave this place immediately.

You mustn't approach the Tamayori princess or the Onikirimaru again.

That's...!

That is what is necessary for Tamaki as well.

No!

Tamaki... No, Tamayori princess.

You are not responsible for only yourself anymore.

If what Baba-sama says is true...

I should not be here.

No, I mustn't be here.

Takuma!

Tamaki!

Mitsuru.

Take Tamaki to her room.

Keep an eye on her so she doesn't do something selfish.

Yes.

Tamaki-sama, this way.

There must be...

...a nicer way of putting that.

No matter what or how you say it, what must be done is the same.

Well, that's true.

So, those with your blood...

...are ready to offer themselves to the Onikirimaru?

I've lived only for the purpose of maintaining the seal.

Why must you bring this up now?

More than Logos,

I most afraid of you.

If I were to speak the truth...

What is it?

I was just thinking how cunning you are, like a snake.

I like you.

Those inexperienced guardians will likely suffer.

The only card they hold is their naive courage.

It's too much of a disadvantage.

With this, we will be able to suppress their movements for a while.

Could I ask you a favor?

A favor?

A bodyguard for Aria-sama.

Eins, Zwei, and I have been called to the convening of the four wise men.

We have to return to the main branch.

Is that all you want?

Yes.

Stay be her side and offer her comfort and consolation.

She'll probably ask you about the guardians.

I'm counting on you, Snake.

I know. While I'm there,

I'll get the four wise men's seal of approval.

If I do, even Monado Aria will have to obey me.

Drei.

With you gone, will the Artifacts be all right?

Does it bother you?

Don't worry. I've hidden them,

somewhere that is and isn't here.

Excuse me.

Mitsuru-chan.

I'm terribly sorry, Tamaki-sama.

I can only obey Baba-sama's orders.

Please, do as Baba-sama instructs.

Don't go out beyond the temple grounds.

Does that mean I can't go to school?

I'm terribly sorry.

In order for Onizaki-san to remain Onizaki-san,

I think it is better for you not to meet.

I understand.

It's all right.

Now that I know about Takuma-kun and the Onikirimaru,

and about Shinji-kun and Suguru-san...

Now that I know the truth about everything, I feel better.

I'm telling the truth.

To not even know how to seal the Onikirimaru...

I really am a failure as a Tamayori princess.

But as the Tamayori princess, if I can awaken completely,

and seal away the Onikirimaru properly,

Takuma and everyone else won't have to worry or suffer.

Isn't that right?

Baba-sama!

Ashiya!

Welcome home.

Looks like they really got you.

Are you all right?

We have nothing to say to you.

Scary, scary.

This place is full of scary people.

Take care!

What an unsightly pair.

We met with Ohmi-san.

And?

He told us to hand over the Onikirimaru.

Ohmi-san.

What does he think the Shugogo House bonds are?

Asking us to hand over the Onikirimaru that we've always protected...

What is that?

What foolishness.

Good work, both of you.

That's enough about Suguru.

Baba-sama, what are you...?

The important thing is the sealing of the Onikirimaru.

As long as it is in this temple, the Onikirimaru is safe.

There is no worry of having it stolen.

It is protected by a number of powerful barriers.

Are you telling us to forget about Ohmi-san?

Is there anything you two can do about Suguru?

He's already made up his mind.

Until further ordered, don't go out by yourself.

If I need you, I'll send Mitsuru for you.

What did Tamaki say?

I'd like to speak with Tamaki, just once.

For what purpose?

What will you accomplish by meeting with Tamaki?

I have ordered Tamaki to stay in the house.

During that time, we will wait for her...

...to completely awaken as the Tamayori princess.

Guardians, you must not disrupt the Tamayori princess.

House arrest?

You won't let her leave here?

And Takuma?

I've sent him home.

Did he accept that?

It is not a question of whether he accepted it or not.

This is about the Tamayori princess.

Baba-sama...

By thinking not of the Tamayori princess,

and doing as he pleases,

he has denied his responsibilities as a guardian.

Now do what you must do, as guardians.

Aria-sama,

I have been called to an audience with the four wise men,

and must leave for the main branch.

Is that right?

Considering the journey,

I will bring along Eins and Zwei,

but I will leave him to guard you.

You are one of the guardians.

You have no need to worry.

He is now an excellent servant to you.

I am pleased to make your acquaintance.

If what Baba-sama says is true...

I shouldn't be here.

It's no good. I can't concentrate.

What am I doing at a time like this?

I'm going to get some air.

What is it?

I'll tell you everything.

About my time with Logos.

The reason behind my betrayal.

Everything I know about the Logos I met.

I did it because I thought it was right.

But that was a mistake.

On top of being weak and powerless,

I've made a mistake.

I don't think that confessing redeems me in any way.

However,

I thought it was necessary for me to tell you.

Shinji Inukai.

I do not care what you were thinking.

The important thing is whether you fulfill your duty.

I called you back and employed you as a guardian,

but it appears you were unable to fulfill your duty.

I suppose you were a Kotokura all along.

Shinji, you and Mitsuru are...

Shinji-kun.

Shinji-kun, what happened?

Nothing. I just realized that I'm talentless.

That's not...

When you came back, Shinji-kun,

I could only act coldly towards you.

You had gotten to go out.

I wanted you to be free from the fate of the guardian.

But I also had happy feelings,

thinking that I could be by your side again...

I know.

Just how hard you trained your spoken word.

Just how much you value the other guardians.

Just how much—

Stop it!

I know that I'm still not good enough to be guardian.

So I want you to stop comforting me like that.

Shinji-kun.

To me, Shinji-kun, you are more amazing than anyone.

Since long, long ago, I...

Sorry.

I can't. I just can't.

Mitsuru-chan, you and I are...

You and Mitsuru are twins.

The reason I'm not strong enough,

the reason I was returned to the village,

and your feelings...

I never knew anything.

From now on, my feelings for you will never change.

Starting tomorrow, let's go back to how we always were.

Yes.

Tamaki-sama.

What's wrong, Mitsuru-chan?

Did something happen between you and Shinji-kun?

I've hurt Shinji-kun.

I pushed my feelings for him onto him,

and forced him to bear that weight.

Mitsuru-chan...

I think that liking someone can be full of suffering and pain,

but I want to believe it's a good thing.

I don't want to turn those feelings into a lie.

Is there someone you like, Tamaki-sama?

Yeah...

But because I'm here, I'm causing him to suffer.

Even though I value him so much.

Even though I don't want to hurt him or cause him to suffer...

Just by being near him...

I start to wonder why I'm even here.

But I'm the Tamayori princess,

and I should be thinking about all these other things...

But I just can't.

Oh... that's weird.

Why am I crying?

I'm sorry. I'm no good.

Please don't say that.

Mitsuru-chan...

What a wonderful aroma.

The tea is Earl Grey.

I wanted to talk with you.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

My owner smells lovely as always.

I want to always be able to enjoy your scent.

All right?
