Original subtitles

You, too.

You're being played with by the Onikirimaru.

It's all the Tamayori princess' doing.

Shut up. I'm here of my own will.

It has nothing to do with you!

Then do something about it. If you can.

I will.

I'll definitely do something.

I won't let anyone...

I won't let a single person suffer misfortune.

Takuma! Are you all right?

How shameful.

Come on out.

If you don't, I won't hold back.

W-Wait!

K-Kiyono-chan?

The Eternal Promise

Hello.

But more importantly!

That kick would have sent me flying!

What are you trying to do to a girl?!

Girl?

Man, he pisses me off!

Did you see his mocking face just now?

Maybe I can't be called a "girl" anymore at the age of twenty-three, but...

Twenty-three?

Osaki fox, you're so cute!

You can see him?

A-Actually, I'm... uh...

I'll tell you.

That's why I came here.

My name is Kiyono Takara.

That's true, but...

I'm really twenty-three.

I infiltrated Koryo Academy as a Bureau employee.

Then you're not Ashiya's...

He's not my uncle, he's my boss.

Ryo Kutani is working with the Bureau.

Or rather, Ashiya-san was using him...

I helped the Bureau.

Don't get it wrong.

Don't get mad.

So, you're here on Ashiya's order.

I haven't told Ashiya-san.

As if I'd believe that!

Takuma, wait.

Why? Why are you helping us?

You might not believe me, but...

I think this is the wrong way to do it.

Peace gained through the sacrifice of someone else definitely isn't right!

And, Tamaki-chan, I think of you as a friend.

So I want to help you!

Please believe me!

I understand. Thank you.

Tamaki-chan...

Are you all right with this?

Yes. I'll trust Kiyono-chan.

I don't think she's lying.

I understand.

I'll trust whomever you trust.

Takuma!

Hey, Kiyono-chan.

If you know something, tell me.

I want let Takuma rest a little,

but the village is full of Ashiya-san's traps,

and the forest is full of gods controlled by Grandma.

I think it's probably impossible to leave the village.

But you should still be able to hide in the school for a night.

But...

That's as much as I can tell you.

That's okay. Thank you, Kiyono-chan.

Kiyono-chan, you're a valuable friend to me.

If Takuma and I escape safely,

let's meet again then.

Yeah. I'm sorry for lying to you up until now.

Let's go, Takuma.

Yeah.

Do your best, Tamaki-chan.

If we don't go back soon, Ashiya will notice.

I know. What about you?

I'm not the Bureau's dog.

A dog, huh?

You really know how to hit someone where it hurts.

Does it hurt?

No...

It's so...

Are you scared?

No.

I'm glad you're here, Takuma.

It's my fault it turned out like this, isn't it?

You withstood all those painful feelings and stayed by my side, didn't you?

Up until now, I've sought power.

And now, you've surpassed humanity.

I sense that you're about to obtain power that rivals demons and gods.

I want to test your power,

and whether my power can overturn god and fate.

Hurry and become a demon,

even just one minute sooner.

Eins...

Monado,

I will not lose to both the gods and fate twice.

And I will protect you.

This time... definitely.

What's funny?

It seems Eins is starting to act according to his own theory.

Zwei, you want to eat your fill soon, don't you?

Of souls...

I plan to prepare the best timing.

Until then, by all means, work with me.

I hope there's something to eat here...

Who's there?

It doesn't matter who, just leave! Hurry!

Tamaki?

Everyone...

I'm glad you're safe.

Is Takuma-senpai okay?

Takuma is resting over there.

Wait.

Talk to us first.

What's going on with Takuma?

Going on?

Stop it. Don't touch her!

Wait, Takuma! Look.

Senpai... Shinji...

Senpai... Shinji...

Did you come after us on Baba-sama's orders?

We heard that you had started to become a monster.

For your sake, too, Takuma, we have to kill you.

Wait!

You're wrong!

Tamaki!

Believe me.

Takuma won't become a monster.

I had a dream.

In the dream, I was the Tamayori princess,

and Takuma was the Underworld god.

He wasn't the demon from a thousand years ago.

What?

That dream is a distant memory passed down to me through my blood.

It's the truth that was forgotten.

And Takuma is fiercely fighting his pain.

Takuma will definitely...

...not lose to the Onikirimaru's power.

Please believe me.

It's just as I thought.

Yeah.

Yes.

It's true that we came looking for you on Baba-sama's orders.

And if Takuma was poisoned by the sword and turning into a monster,

ending his life would be our duty.

However, if you hadn't lost to the Onikirimaru's power,

and you two hadn't lost hope,

we planned to do anything to help you escape.

And we believed that you would not lose hope.

Then...

Whether Takuma is a monster or an Underworld god, it doesn't matter.

We believe the two people in front of us.

The past doesn't matter.

Right? Isn't that right?

Yes.

You are the same Takuma and Tamaki you've always been,

just as we knew you'd be.

Yes. I think so, too.

Everyone...

Thank you very much.

We're going to Logos to steal back the Artifacts.

If we can get them back, I think there's still a chance we can create the seal.

Please try to hold out until then.

I know the story of the Underworld god.

Long before our ancestors, the Tamayori princess...

...most likely sealed the Onikirimaru's power inside the Underworld god.

Then it's all right, I'm sure it's fine.

Yes.

Baba-sama is serious.

Listen, there's no time.

Once you've rested, run before dawn breaks.

This is some food I prepared for a time like this.

Thank you, everyone.

All right. Let's hurry.

Yeah.

Yes.

Keep Tamaki safe.

Got it.

We don't have time to wait for Ohmi-san.

We'll just have to do all we can do.

Let's hurry to Logos' hideout.

I'll go, too.

You're...

What do you want?

I don't know who you are, but if you're not involved, please stay out of this.

Not involved?

If told you I was the true Inukai guardian, would you be satisfied?

You're the true Inukai...

Yeah. The Inukai tried to save you, kid,

from the curse, so they made it seem like you were a Kutani child,

by borrowing the power of the Bureau of Medicine.

I see.

But why now?

Because you guys can't be counted on.

What'd you say?

He's fast.

And one more thing.

Watching them made me want to help.

I want to do something about the Onikirimaru, too.

It doesn't seem like he's lying.

Shinji, you decide.

Whether we accept him or not,

you have the right to decide the fate of the Inukai and the Kotokura.

I have not accepted you yet.

But if you say that your strength is that of a guardian,

then for Tamaki-senpai and Takuma-senpai,

please fight with us.

I'll lend you my power. For now.

Understood. Very well.

The more allies we have, the better.

Yeah. Now that that's decided, let's hurry.

If I can figure out the trick...

What are you doing in my room?

Snake, I'm looking for an explanation.

Depending on what it is...

I told him to come here.

Show me the Artifacts.

If you had just told me so,

I could have shown you right away.

Please refrain from touching.

This magic might affect even you, Aria-sama.

Oh?

Four incorrigible little mice approach the mansion.

Let's have you go.

You don't mind, do you, Snake?

Vier?! Zwei, stop it!

She really is just a little girl when it comes to physical attacks.

Aria-sama.

I'll leave Vier to you.

She's a hostage to control Aria.

Be courteous.

Really.

What's going on with this forest?

Don't say that.

This is the only way we can meet Ohmi-san.

It must be inconvenient to have such useless noses.

This way.

Ohmi-san!

His explanation comes later!

Ohmi-san, we have no time.

Listen to what we have to say.

As it is, Takuma and Tamaki won't be saved.

Baba-sama is trying to sacrifice Tamaki for the Onikirimaru!

Sacrifice?

Yes. In order to stop the Onikirimaru's rampage,

and reestablish the seal, she said that's the only option.

There's nothing that we alone can do to stop it anymore.

Plus, Onizaki-kun and Tamaki-san are...

They were cornered and took the Onikirimaru and ran.

We want to help them!

Please, Ohmi-san!

We want to save Tamaki-senpai and Takuma-senpai!

We don't want to let them become sacrifices for the Onikirimaru!

I was trying to obtain the Artifacts,

but it looks like I took too long.

There's no postponing this any longer.

Yeah.

Yes!

Monado has been captured by them,

while you were casually taken in by memories of the past.

There's no time to hesitate.

Take down the demon and obtain the Artifact.

It's the only way to save Aria-sama.

Takuma.

You're awake?

Yes. Did you sleep?

Yeah, like a baby.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

He's...

Weren't you going to wait until I became a demon?

Monado...

What did you do with Monado?

Monado? Did something happen to Aria?

Fate, gods, overwhelming power,

have you come before me again?

That which I must protect...

Are you here to steal it?

I like you.

Don't stay by their side anymore.

Stay by mine.

I want to feel your warmth forever.
