Save me, Houhou-sama!

I promise I'll answer the phone next time.

Please save me, Master!

These guys are crazy!

"Master," Houhou?

Master, please! I was wrong!

What did you do to him?

I realize that, so please, save me!

Nothing...

Anyway, it looks like saving him won't be easy.

Save me!

Ro Ryou and Natsuka...

And that xiangxi ganshi practitioner is here, too.

This definitely puts us at a disadvantage.

Good evening, Jo San.

I've been thinking about you for quite a while.

I bet you'd be even more fun on a date...

And yet you had to come here with another girl... That's no fun.

Why don't you leave her somewhere and come play with me?

I decline.

That cold attitude is such a turn-on.

Is it really just the two of them?

It doesn't look like there's anyone else around.

Jo San...

Let's have lots of fun.

All of you

need to die now.

Yeah, you must be crazy.

It was bold of you to get in my way at the graveyard.

You'll pay for that now.

Huh...

You're actually not half bad.

I'm impressed.

You gotta make sure you have insurance

if you want to live in this dangerous world.

I wasn't expecting this to happen,

but to commemorate me joining Zensei,

I'll take care of all of them for you.

Hmm...

I guess it won't be so easy after all.

Natsuka, we'll settle things with you later.

We just came today to take Chou Soran back.

If you hand him over peacefully, we'll let you go for today.

You can't be serious. Of course we decline.

I see.

If possible, I'd rather not fight you,

Bone Scraper Natsuka.

Well, Jo San, looks like your powers have gotten stronger again.

But, unfortunately for you,

this is nowhere near enough.

Houhou, don't underestimate her.

That's one of Zensei's Four Sorcerers, Bone Scraper Natsuka.

Jo San, I got it, so please put me down.

I don't mind putting you down,

but don't go charging at them again.

What the hell is with you guys?

This makes no sense.

Appearing out of nowhere and freaking me out...

Oh, dear... You really aren't going to come for me?

Then I might just have to take this boy for myself.

Are you okay with that?

Who's that Jo San guy?!

And this lady is amazing, too. So cool!

Of course. Nee-chan is one of Zensei's Four Sorcerers.

She's totally on another level.

I'm so happy I joined Zensei!

Well, this is a problem.

There's nothing else we can do.

Saru!

I see.

So this was all to stall us.

You won't get away!

Jo San, please! Pull!

Sorry, Saru! I forgot to put a seal on your body!

What?!

Crap! Crap! Crap!

N-Nee-chan...

Sh-Shit...

I should have grabbed him rather than hit him.

Are you guys stupid? Serves you right!

I told you that

I would call you tonight, so you should wait for it, didn't I?

Sorry, I forgot...

I'm so sorry, Master!

I know what I did was wrong!

I will never disobey you again!

I swear to you that I will do whatever you command from now on!

Please forgive me, Master!

S-Spare me!

Huh?

Wh-What is that?

A poisonous worm.

There's a tribe in Xiangxi that uses this worm.

When controlling the dead, you would use seals,

but when you're trying to control the living, you use this worm.

The reason your powers were sealed was because

it was blocking your governing vessel.

When she did that...

Hurry up and stand.

What are you doing?

What's wrong, Soran-kun? Are you all right?

Ah, I'm fine.

Yeah, no problem.

I knew it...

Look, Gramps!

I can get some of it to come out now. Isn't that great?

Well done.

Aren't I a genius, Gramps?

Well, I'm not so sure about that.

Huh?

Soran, "there has never yet been a proud man

whose pride did not destroy him."

G-Gramps...

You must not overestimate your powers.

If you get too proud, you will eventually bring disaster upon yourself.

And I thought I finally sort of had the hang of it, too.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

No good comes from rushing anything.

So when is something good going to happen, Gramps?

You said when a lot of bad things happen, something good will follow.

Nothing good has happened at all.

Indeed...

There might be more bad things than good.

Even then, you mustn't only chase after the good things.

All of those things will come to you naturally.

Soran, you may face some terrible things in the future.

What?

Well, yes.

No one wants to have something terrible happen to them,

but that might just be your destiny.

You may be the only one who can settle the sin I have committed.

Because of my sin, I am causing you grief.

I'm sure you will have to face terrible things in the future.

Just know that it is not your fault.

It is my own.

So you must not resent others when that happens.

Resent your grandfather.

Gramps...

I could never hate you, Gramps.

I'm truly blessed to have a grandson like you.

Don't worry. Something good will happen.

But if only bad things happen, you mustn't dwell on it.

I, at least, will always be on your side, Soran.

Gramps, you liar...

You can't do anything when you're dead.

Houhou, I'm leaving him to you.

All right. But will you be okay by yourself?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Natsuka, we'll be taking Chou Soran.

Since you didn't return him to us,

my promise to you earlier is now off.

I'm not letting you get away.

Nee-chan, this isn't good.

Who are those guys?

Resistance is futile.

Why don't you just come quietly?

What's going on?

And what's with those guys?

We're completely surrounded.

Ro Ryou, what do we do?

Shut up!

If you don't want to get caught, hurry up and run!

What?

Hurry up and get in the car!

Where are you going?

Go, you guys!

Damn it... My zombies...

Hurry up!

I had a lot of fun today, Jo San.

But I'm going to have to go home for now.

Let's do something even more fun the next time we meet.

You think we'll let you leave so easily?!

Stop!

You guys don't stand a chance against her.

Go after the two that escaped in the car.

Don't lose them!

Yes, sir!

Aw, that's no fun.

You were just saying how you weren't going to let me leave.

Natsuka, you weren't what I was after this time.

I'll eventually settle things with you.

Take care of yourself until then.

All right.

See you later. I look forward to next time.

What the hell? All of you guys are just talk.

So you're saying this is all my fault for getting caught?

Hm? Why do you look so down?

Huh?

You've been saved, but you don't look happy at all.

Yeah, I've been saved, but somehow I can't feel happy about it...

Gramps used to tell me that when a lot of bad things happen in a row,

something good would happen next, but...

I wonder if that's actually true.

Nothing good has happened,

and there's no girl that would fall in love with me.

I'm stuck with bad luck forever.

So that's why you're sad.

It's okay.

Huh?

No one's luck is bad forever.

The reason you're unlucky isn't because your luck is bad.

I-Is she actually trying to cheer me up?

The reason things aren't going well

is because you're stupid.

What?!

Of course no girl would ever fall in love with you.

Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid

You don't even realize that?

Do you actually think you're cool?

Idiot.

Besides, any girl who tries to get close to a guy who looks as lame as you

obviously has an ulterior motive, idiot.

There's nothing good about you anyway, so don't get the wrong idea, idiot.

Or are you trying to tell me

there's something appealing about you as a man?

I see. Understood.

Huh? What's wrong with him, Houhou?

He's fine. I was just cheering him up.

I-I see...

Well, I'll leave him to you.

Who the hell were those guys?

I can't believe my zombies were defeated so easily!

And who the hell are those guys chasing after us?

They're from that one company... All of them.

From that one company?

What company?

There shouldn't usually be guys like this!

You really don't know anything about this world, do you?

The company I'm talking about is...

Damn it, you bastard!

Hey, are you all right?

That brat!

He's an outsider that sucks souls...

Fighting him up close is not good.

I see... Then I'll...

H-Help me! I'm gonna fall! Stop!

I'm seriously going to fall! Stop!

Help!

Why would I help you?

What? Why?

I'm part of Zensei now, aren't I? I'm one of you guys!

You can't be serious.

Help me!

That's why I said that you

don't understand Zensei at all.

If you happen to survive,

try to do your research first before you make any decisions from now on,

little girl.

I see... So Ro Ryou got away.

Understood.

Well, don't worry about it this time.

Thanks. We're gonna head back.

I guess it just won't go that easily.

So none of them were caught?

Well, that's not entirely true, but let's head home for today.

What should we do with him?

Let's take him back to his dorm.

Houhou,

I hate to ask, but could you bring him to the agency tomorrow?

What is up with my life?

Ah, M-M-Master!

Get changed. We're going out.

Follow me.

Pardon me...

Master, where are we going so early in the morning?

Jo San's place. He wants to talk to you.

With me?

So many things have happened lately that it's all confusing.

I still don't understand what happened yesterday.

Good. You can ask Jo San yourself.

But...

What?

Nothing.

What?

N-No, it's fine.

By the way, where are we headed?

The place where I work.

Where you work?

Huh? Wait, where is that?

We Deliver Anywhere Express Delivery

"We deliver anywhere"?

Houhou-san, where are we?

The place where I work.

This is an express delivery place, right?

Yes, it is.

So all of you work in a normal place like this?

Yup.

I see.

So is there, like, a passage in the basement that leads to some secret base?

There's no secret base.

As you can see, we're carriers at an express delivery service.

Carriers? Do you think I'm stupid?

I know how you feel.

You can't understand what's going on

because that all happened so suddenly, right?

Hello again. I'm Jo San.

Pleasure to meet you.

Who the heck are you guys?

Well, a lot's happened.

There are too many things that need to be explained.

Well, first, I'll tell you what you want to know the most.

We're all outsiders.

Outsiders?

All of you?

To put it simply,

we're people who have special powers that normal people don't have.

Your grandfather, your father,

and you, Chou Soran...

You're all

outsiders.

What the hell are outsiders?

Gramps didn't tell me everything about them, either.

Are we psychics?

That's not incorrect, but that's not enough to say it's correct, either.

For example, the guy who was just carrying the box...

He's much stronger than normal humans.

But that's not enough to call him an outsider.

The fact that we can control an energy that normal humans cannot...

That's what sets outsiders apart from normal humans.

We call that energy

Episode 4 "Chaos"

"ki."
