What a wonderful aroma.

The tea is Earl Grey.

The pouring is perfect, as well.

The black tea that Vier prepares is always delicious.

Thank you.

I wanted to talk with you.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

The Deceitful Heart

Isn't it funny?

To think enemies would be sharing tea like this.

It was fate that we came into this world as enemies.

However, fate is like a river that at times takes us to...

...places we never thought we'd find ourselves.

Aria-sama.

Where there are a hundred people, there are a hundred ways to be.

You've changed.

Haven't you been told so?

I'll return those words.

Aria-sama, you've changed quite a bit, as well.

Of course, in a good way.

Is that right?

It feels good to hear someone speak so frankly.

All the more now with these idiotic battles continuing.

Why do people betray?

I wonder what everyone is doing.

And Takuma, too...

I'm fine.

But I don't know what to do to fully awaken as the Tamayori princess.

It is fine now.

But soon Takuma will lose his humanity,

and will bare his fangs to the Tamayori princess.

Eventually he will catch Tamaki and attempt to kill her.

Damn it!

I-I'll never let that...

Everyone desires the Artifact.

That just shows how much power the Artifact has.

If you were to make that power your own,

your desires would be fulfilled far more easily than by betraying your friends.

I do not desire power.

You're the same as me.

Everyone finds it strange.

I find it much more strange that everyone desires power beyond their means.

By the way, what is your name?

I am Suguru Ohmi.

Then he who is called Suguru,

I have something I'd like to ask you.

Yes.

With the power of the Artifact,

is it possible to revive the dead?

No one knows the truth.

Even if it were possible,

I believe it would be unforgivable.

I see.

You appear tired.

Please rest.

Yes.

That song...

Yes.

Close your eyes, quietly, quietly.

Tonight will bring a fleeting dream.

Tears like pearls fall secretly, secretly.

Please give them to me.

Soft as a feather, I'll soothe your pain.

You remind me of my mother.

I almost can't believe you're someone else.

You're welcome to guard Aria-sama as Drei instructed,

but if you do anything to hurt her,

don't think I'll overlook it.

Mitsuru.

Yes?

Is Tamaki behaving herself in her room?

Yes.

I see.

Then take this opportunity...

...to prepare for the ceremony.

B-But...

Yes?

There's still a chance that Tamaki-sama could fully awaken as the Tamayori princess...

We don't know whether she can do it or not.

What's wrong?

We cannot undo it now, Mitsuru.

How many people have we killed already?

All for the sake of the Onikirimaru.

Go in.

The ceremonial offering must not be delayed.

Prepare for the ceremonial offering.

All right, Mitsuru?

Until then, I'll continue to strengthen the barrier.

Tamaki mustn't take a single step from her room.

No. This is no time to be depressed.

In any case, I must become a complete Tamayori princess quickly.

Wait for me, Takuma.

Tamaki...

Damn it!

Mahiro.

I know.

But Baba-sama won't let us see Tamaki,

and then she suddenly calls us together and tells us to guard the shrine.

What is she thinking?! Don't you feel the same?

Yes. There are many things I don't understand.

There's an even stronger barrier being formed around us.

I don't see any need to increase our defenses this much, but...

Shinji, what's wrong?

I-It's nothing.

There's no need to worry about him, is there?

Mahiro, stop it.

We're friends.

But—

Mitsuru?

What's wrong?

Mitsuru-chan?

Mitsuru-chan!

I've had enough!

What do you think you're doing, Shinji?!

Are you all right?

Shinji, calm down.

I've had enough!

I'm taking that to Logos!

With the Onikirimaru gone from this village,

we can finally put an end to all of this!

Shinji!

Let go of me!

Wait, Mahiro.

Are you kidding me?!

Have you thought about how much

you've hurt everyone with your selfish ideas?

I know.

No, you don't!

If you did, you couldn't say something like that!

That was the only choice I had!

I'm actually a Kotokura...

I was adopted into the Inukai family.

But I didn't have any power, so I was thrown away.

I didn't want to betray anyone.

I wanted to stay friends with everyone.

But what else...

What else could I have done?!

That's enough, Shinji.

What we need to do now isn't look back at the past,

but to make the future better, no matter how little.

Let's try to think about what we can do now.

We're friends.

And...

...we probably don't have much time left.

Sorry for hitting you.

No.

I've done something I can't take back.

Forget it.

No, I know I can never redeem myself.

I told you...

It's all my fault.

I said, it's fine!

I'll hit you again!

Never mind.

This is stupid. Being mad is making me hungry.

I know, Shinji. You make dinner tonight and we'll call it even.

However, if it isn't good, I won't be so sure.

Yes.

Shinji, I'll clean your wounds.

Yes.

You're still small,

but as you have inherited the role of a guardian,

I will explain to you, as yet an unknown,

the role that you and the Atori house alone possess.

It's time.

Senpai!

Takuma, you—

Look.

The idea that I would become a demon because of Tamaki,

and that as a demon I would kill Tamaki, isn't possible!

So let me meet with Tamaki!

I want to see Tamaki!

Takuma.

When the heaven and the earth were first divided,

the first god that came into being in the Plain of Heaven...

...was named Amenominakanushi.

When Amenominakanushi disappeared,

he turned half of himself into a blade,

and threw that blade to the earth.

If used by one who was evil, it would destroy all things.

If used by one who was good, it would purify all living things.

And so it was released.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

It's been sealed?

I'm sorry...

Who are you?

How can I apologize...?

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

What a sad voice.

Where are you?

What should I do?

You mustn't.

Do not blame yourself.

This is the person I saw in my dream.

I'm sorry.

I was caught up in revenge.

Why did I allow that sword to be released?

That was something I did.

I wanted to fulfill your wish.

You are suffering from your sadness.

Just like I am.

May your sins be forgiven.

May peace come someday.

I do not care what happens to me.

I...

You're...

Tamaki!

Tamaki, Tamaki!

Tamaki!

Takuma, stop!

Takuma?

What is this ruckus?

I believe I was quite clear when I told you not to approach this place.

To allow an intruder in...

What do you think you have been guarding?

Baba-sama, what is the meaning of this?

Of what?

What need is there to strengthen the barrier this much?

And what need is there to place...

...a powerful barrier right outside Tamaki's room?!

More than just protecting her,

it's like you're trapping her inside!

Tamaki! I won't become a demon.

Even if I do, I definitely won't kill you.

What about you, Tamaki?

Are you that scared of me?

Don't you believe me?!

I'm not scared. I'm not at all scared, Takuma!

There's no way you'll become a monster.

But...

But, right now I can't, Takuma.

In the middle of something?

You've come at a good time.

Can you please detain that insolent one?

All of you, too.

What are you staring at? Get moving.

Tamaki, answer me. Tamaki!

Takuma.

You can't do any more than this.

Senpai.

Tamaki!

Silence!

You are the child of a demon.

You carry monstrous blood.

You are only a danger to Tamaki.

You are unnecessary to Tamaki.

Do you not understand that?

Tamaki has accepted that,

so she doesn't attempt to leave her room.

Or will you only be satisfied

if Tamaki tells you, "You scare me. I don't want to see you again"?

Tamaki, is that right?

Is that what you think?

No. No, I don't.

I really want to be by your side.

But...

Tamaki, you're attempting to awaken the demon inside of Takuma.

I can't. As I am right now, I just...

Go home! Go home, Takuma!

Don't come to me anymore.

Please go home.

Takuma Onizaki.

I release you from your duty as a guardian.

You must not show your face here again.

Can you stand? Let me help you.

I guess you don't need me.

Hey, Takuma! Wait!

Leave him.

You will continue to stand guard.

This way.

Takuma...

It's a lie.

I lied when I told you to leave.

There's no way that's how I feel.

The truth is, I want you with me.

But I'm no good as I am now.

But...

If that's true...

Please, open!

Wait for me, Takuma.

I won't let you become a demon.

I'll always protect you.

I'll blow away anything that threatens you.

So just relax and smile.
