*I'll shoot through with
the febricula that is me*
**[01:42] ---**
Follow me, Shirayuki.
**[01:46] ---**
I'll take you to a place
more suitable for you...
**[01:51] ---**
to I-U...
**[01:55] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[01:56] ---**
No! Run!
**[02:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:03] ---**
Kin!
**[02:05] ---**
N-No! Stop it! What're you doing?!
**[02:07] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[02:09] ---**
Is this the time to be worried about others?
**[02:19] ---**
How sloppy!
**[02:21] ---**
Well, for being stupid Kinji,
you were actually helpful.
**[02:26] ---**
Durandal!
**[02:27] ---**
You're under arrest for attempted
abduction of a minor!
**[02:32] ---**
"Episode 8: Durandal"
**[02:37] ---**
Durandal, I've already investigated your MO!
**[02:40] ---**
When you're facing multiple enemies,
**[02:42] ---**
you try to divide them in order
to deal with them one-on-one.
**[02:46] ---**
That's why I left Shirayuki's bodyguard
duty... in order to lure you out.
**[02:51] ---**
Aria, you...
**[02:53] ---**
Butei Charter Article 2.
**[02:54] ---**
Abide your contract with
your client no matter what.
**[02:57] ---**
I never abandon my mission.
**[03:02] ---**
Well, it's true, though, that
you ticked me off that time.
**[03:08] ---**
And you think you won?
**[03:17] ---**
W-Water?!
**[03:19] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[03:27] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[03:30] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[03:31] ---**
Kin... I'm sorry.
**[03:34] ---**
He said that unless I came
without telling anyone,
**[03:36] ---**
he'd blow up Academy Island
and kill you, so...
**[03:41] ---**
When was that?
**[03:43] ---**
I got an email while you went to
buy some sparklers last night.
**[03:48] ---**
I had no choice but to obey it...
**[03:54] ---**
Don't worry about it. Just stop crying.
**[03:56] ---**
Okay.
**[03:57] ---**
I'm sorry, Aria.
**[03:59] ---**
I did all those mean
things to you, but you...
**[04:03] ---**
I-I'm just protecting you
based on your request.
**[04:06] ---**
My goal is capturing Durandal!
**[04:08] ---**
So you don't have to thank me.
**[04:17] ---**
Shirayuki, where did Durandal escape to?
**[04:21] ---**
Uhm... after I was tied up,
**[04:24] ---**
I heard a noise that sounded like
a hatch in the ceiling opening.
**[04:29] ---**
Then the floor above here.
**[04:31] ---**
Aria, you go on ahead and go after him.
**[04:33] ---**
What?
**[04:34] ---**
I read the report on you that Riko gave me.
**[04:37] ---**
You can't swim, can you?
**[04:39] ---**
Th-That's not true! As long
as I have an inner tube...
**[04:41] ---**
We don't have one here! Just go!
**[04:44] ---**
But I can't abandon you here and escape.
**[04:47] ---**
I'm not telling you to escape.
**[04:49] ---**
Go upstairs and get the key from him.
**[04:52] ---**
You have a better chance
of getting it than I do.
**[04:55] ---**
B-But...
**[04:56] ---**
Go! Right now, we don't
wanna waste even a second!
**[05:02] ---**
Okay.
**[05:05] ---**
Just hang on! I'll come back
with the key without fail!
**[05:29] ---**
*After all this time, I was only
able to unlock one of them.*
**[05:32] ---**
*This is the best I can do
with my lock-picking skills.*
**[05:35] ---**
*It'll be too late.*
**[05:37] ---**
Kin...
**[05:39] ---**
Go now. I don't want to put you in danger.
**[05:44] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[05:46] ---**
The maidens of Hotogi Shrine
are maidens of protection.
**[05:48] ---**
Our fate is to sacrifice our body
**[05:51] ---**
and soul to protect someone, so...
**[05:54] ---**
What're you saying?! I
can't leave without you.
**[05:57] ---**
That's okay. I know that no
one will cry even if I die.
**[06:02] ---**
Although the teachers heaped praise on me,
**[06:05] ---**
it wasn't me they were praising.
**[06:08] ---**
It was the power of a
maiden of Hotogi Shrine.
**[06:12] ---**
I'm sure that Aria will bring the key!
**[06:14] ---**
So don't give up!
**[06:16] ---**
Breathe in deeply!
**[06:18] ---**
Follow what your bodyguard tells you to do!
**[06:20] ---**
I cancel my request.
**[06:22] ---**
Kin, please live.
**[06:29] ---**
Shirayuki!!
**[06:35] ---**
*Don't screw with me!*
**[06:57] ---**
*Right now, I can tell the inner
structure of the lock quite clearly*
**[07:02] ---**
*based on the subtle feeling my fingers get.*
**[07:12] ---**
Kin...
**[07:13] ---**
You said you were canceling
your bodyguard request.
**[07:16] ---**
What?
**[07:17] ---**
I don't care about the request.
I'll protect you, Shirayuki.
**[07:21] ---**
I want to protect you because it's
you. That's okay with you, right?
**[07:27] ---**
Yes.
**[07:30] ---**
Now, hurry.
**[07:52] ---**
Shirayuki! Where are you?!
**[07:54] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[08:01] ---**
Shirayuki! Are you okay?!
**[08:03] ---**
Kin...
**[08:05] ---**
I swallowed some water.
**[08:06] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[08:07] ---**
Kinji!
**[08:09] ---**
You're safe!
**[08:12] ---**
Wait, Aria!
**[08:23] ---**
A piano wire...
**[08:24] ---**
A twist nano Kevlar wire, to be exact.
**[08:27] ---**
It's a trap set by Durandal.
**[08:29] ---**
I'm impressed you noticed it.
**[08:31] ---**
I can't let a kind girl who
worries about me get injured.
**[08:36] ---**
Kinji... Could it be that you...
**[08:38] ---**
Hm? What is it, Aria?
**[08:43] ---**
A-At any rate, we'll protect Shirayuki!
**[08:46] ---**
Where is she, huh?!
**[08:48] ---**
She's over there.
**[08:54] ---**
Shirayuki, are you okay?
**[08:56] ---**
Thank you, Aria.
**[08:58] ---**
Thank you, too, for coming, Kin.
**[08:59] ---**
Hm?
**[09:03] ---**
*What is this? Something feels off.*
**[09:05] ---**
Kin, what's wrong?
**[09:07] ---**
Hey, Shirayuki, are your
lips okay? From earlier?
**[09:11] ---**
What?
**[09:13] ---**
Yeah, no big deal.
**[09:16] ---**
Aria! Run!
**[09:17] ---**
What?!
**[09:20] ---**
What's going on, Kinji?!
**[09:23] ---**
Shirayuki?
**[09:30] ---**
Aria! That's not Shirayuki!
**[09:33] ---**
*There's no way that the real Shirayuki*
**[09:35] ---**
*would act calm like that when
she's asked about her lips.*
**[09:48] ---**
Aria!
**[09:49] ---**
You are Durandal, aren't you?!
**[09:50] ---**
Don't call me by that name.
**[09:52] ---**
I don't like the name given to me by others.
**[09:55] ---**
Shut up!
**[09:56] ---**
107 years of my mom's sentence
are for the crime you put on her!
**[10:01] ---**
I'll capture you and make
you atone for that for sure!
**[10:05] ---**
Just as Lupin IV told me,
you're high-spirited, Aria.
**[10:09] ---**
*Lupin IV?*
**[10:11] ---**
*So she's connected to Riko, too?*
**[10:13] ---**
You resemble my great ancestor.
**[10:16] ---**
She was beautiful and lovable,
and yet her heart was brave.
**[10:21] ---**
Her name was Jeanne d'Arc.
**[10:25] ---**
That's a lie! Jeanne d'Arc burned at
the stake when she was in her teens!
**[10:29] ---**
There are no descendants!
**[10:30] ---**
That was her double.
**[10:33] ---**
We are a family of tacticians.
**[10:35] ---**
We've hidden in the darkness,
manipulated history,
**[10:38] ---**
and passed down our pride
and resourceful minds.
**[10:41] ---**
I am the 30th Jeanne d'Arc.
**[10:46] ---**
Follow me, Aria.
**[10:48] ---**
Lupin IV failed to kidnap you, but
this time, I'll take you with me.
**[10:52] ---**
Or do you wanna die?
**[10:55] ---**
Tohyama, if you move, Aria will get frozen.
**[10:59] ---**
Kinji! Just shoot her!
**[11:03] ---**
Shall I try freezing that
chatty tongue of yours first?
**[11:13] ---**
Aria!
**[11:17] ---**
What?!
**[11:20] ---**
Durandal! I'm not going to let
you hurt my friends anymore!
**[11:31] ---**
Durandal! I'm not going to let
you hurt my friends anymore!
**[11:35] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[11:45] ---**
Kin, Aria... I'm sorry it took so long.
**[11:48] ---**
Good job. Just as we'd
expect from you, Shirayuki.
**[11:52] ---**
How's this, Durandal?! Now, the
three of us versus you alone!
**[11:55] ---**
You're at a disadvantage!
**[12:11] ---**
You don't know who I really am.
**[12:15] ---**
This is an opening performance, so to speak.
**[12:18] ---**
Enough with your pompous talk!
**[12:19] ---**
Just show yourself already!
**[12:31] ---**
Aria, give me your hands.
**[12:34] ---**
It'll sting a little.
**[12:46] ---**
They should be okay now.
**[12:48] ---**
Thanks, Shirayuki.
**[12:50] ---**
But this ice is strong.
**[12:53] ---**
Even if I healed them with my power,
**[12:55] ---**
it'll take a while before
they're back to normal.
**[12:58] ---**
So, Kin, please protect Aria.
**[13:02] ---**
I'll take down our enemy by myself.
**[13:05] ---**
But Shirayuki...
**[13:06] ---**
I'll be fine.
**[13:08] ---**
Trust in me, Kin.
**[13:10] ---**
Shirayuki...
**[13:15] ---**
How touching...
**[13:18] ---**
But it's foolish... to try
taking me down all by yourself.
**[13:28] ---**
Jeanne, let's stop now. I
don't want to hurt anyone...
**[13:33] ---**
even you.
**[13:35] ---**
Don't make me laugh.
**[13:42] ---**
You're only a diamond in the rough.
**[13:44] ---**
You can't hurt me, one
who's been polished by I-U.
**[13:51] ---**
In addition, you cannot
betray Hotogi Shrine...
**[13:54] ---**
if you know what that means.
**[13:57] ---**
That'd be the usual me up until now.
**[14:00] ---**
But right now, I'm right next
to the one and only existence
**[14:05] ---**
that enables me to break any codes of Hotogi.
**[14:07] ---**
What?
**[14:08] ---**
Kin, from here on, please don't look at me.
**[14:12] ---**
I'm going to use a technique that
I'm forbidden to use by Hotogi.
**[14:16] ---**
But if you see me using it, I'm
sure that you'll get scared of me.
**[14:20] ---**
You'll think that it's impossible.
**[14:22] ---**
You'll hate me.
**[14:24] ---**
Shirayuki...
**[14:28] ---**
Shirayuki, don't worry.
**[14:31] ---**
Only one thing is impossible.
**[14:33] ---**
That I'll come to hate you... Of all
things, that can never be possible.
**[14:39] ---**
I'll be right back, okay?
**[14:43] ---**
Jeanne.
**[14:44] ---**
I can no longer let you escape...
**[14:47] ---**
because a maiden of Hotogi Shrine will
use the banned *kidou* hidden in her.
**[14:53] ---**
We've been inheriting this
power of the originator...
**[14:58] ---**
for two thousand long years.
**[15:02] ---**
Flame...
**[15:03] ---**
Shirayuki is a pseudonym
to hide my real name.
**[15:07] ---**
My real name is Himiko,
**[15:11] ---**
in other words, the scarlet shrine maiden!
**[15:15] ---**
It's no use resisting.
**[15:17] ---**
There's nothing this sword,
Irokaneayame, can't cut!
**[15:19] ---**
That's my line!
**[15:23] ---**
There's nothing this holy
sword, Durandal, can't cut!
**[15:34] ---**
Shirayuki!
**[15:35] ---**
Kinji...
**[15:37] ---**
I'm okay now. Let's help Shirayuki.
**[15:40] ---**
This fight won't last long.
**[15:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:44] ---**
Every time a stealth uses
large amounts of power,
**[15:46] ---**
they consume their spiritual strength.
**[15:48] ---**
That's right.
**[15:49] ---**
So eventually they'll run out of energy.
**[15:51] ---**
That moment is our chance to launch a strike.
**[15:54] ---**
Can you trust in me?
**[15:56] ---**
I'm telling you this so strongly and yet,
**[15:58] ---**
why... why don't you believe me?!
**[16:05] ---**
I was an idiot that time.
**[16:07] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[16:09] ---**
I swear that I'll trust in
you for the rest of my life.
**[16:11] ---**
Th-The rest of your life?!
**[16:13] ---**
Even if no one in the world believes you,
**[16:16] ---**
at least I'll be on your side forever.
**[16:19] ---**
Will you trust in me, too, Aria?
**[16:22] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[16:23] ---**
Okay, then. I'm counting on you, Aria.
**[16:26] ---**
Okay.
**[16:33] ---**
Drop your sword, Jeanne.
**[16:35] ---**
You don't have a chance.
**[16:37] ---**
Ha! What a soft girl you are.
**[16:40] ---**
To think that you kept aiming
only at the sword, not my body.
**[16:47] ---**
Not yet, Kinji.
**[16:49] ---**
Shirayuki is probably keeping
her power for one last blow.
**[16:52] ---**
Wait three seconds after I attack.
**[16:54] ---**
Okay.
**[16:55] ---**
Shirayuki, I'll show you...
**[16:58] ---**
It's time for you to become diamond dust,
an ice flower of Orléans, and fall!
**[17:03] ---**
Here I go!
**[17:05] ---**
You're just a mere *Butei*!
**[17:25] ---**
Drop your weapon!
**[17:27] ---**
You should behave yourself now.
**[17:29] ---**
The case is now closed, mademoiselle.
**[17:32] ---**
Not yet.
**[17:33] ---**
Butei Law Article 9 says that
*Butei* are not allowed to kill.
**[17:37] ---**
But that doesn't apply to me.
**[17:42] ---**
Hotogi Souten Style, Hihino-Hotogi-Kami!
**[17:58] ---**
My... holy sword is...
**[18:06] ---**
Durandal, you're under arrest.
**[18:10] ---**
Shirayuki, are you okay?
**[18:11] ---**
Kin... Wasn't I scary?
**[18:14] ---**
The way I was earlier?
**[18:18] ---**
Of course, you weren't.
**[18:20] ---**
It was a very beautiful, strong flame...
**[18:22] ---**
just like the fireworks that
we saw together long ago.
**[18:28] ---**
Kin...
**[18:32] ---**
Don't go disappearing on me
without telling me, okay?
**[18:36] ---**
Okay.
**[18:43] ---**
We're now starting the closing
ceremony for the Fifth Adosiade,
**[18:47] ---**
the International *Butei* Competition.
**[18:50] ---**
*After that, Jeanne was taken by the Masters,*
**[18:54] ---**
*and peace and order came momentarily.*
**[18:58] ---**
Whoa!
**[19:06] ---**
Hotogi!
**[19:08] ---**
Go, go, let's go!
**[19:09] ---**
Let's go, Butei!
**[19:11] ---**
--Go, go, let's go! Let's go, Butei!
**[19:12] ---**
--*Don't! Or I'll go into hysteria mode again.*
**[19:29] ---**
"Tokyo Butei High School Men's
Dormitory Building ♪3"
**[19:30] ---**
Someone in the cheer team
couldn't participate,
**[19:33] ---**
so I persuaded Shirayuki, saying that
**[19:36] ---**
she should do something about it
as the student council president.
**[19:39] ---**
I see.
**[19:40] ---**
Well, thanks to her, our
practice didn't go to waste.
**[19:44] ---**
Thanks, Shirayuki.
**[19:45] ---**
What? Ah... yeah...
**[19:48] ---**
Uhm, there's something
I have to tell you, too,
**[19:53] ---**
Aria and Kin.
**[19:55] ---**
Hm? What is it?
**[19:57] ---**
When you caught a cold the other day,
**[20:00] ---**
I lied to you.
**[20:03] ---**
Lied?
**[20:04] ---**
The medicine you took then...
**[20:07] ---**
It wasn't me who went and bought it.
**[20:09] ---**
It was you, right, Aria?
**[20:11] ---**
What?
**[20:17] ---**
So it was you, Aria!
**[20:20] ---**
O-Oh, that...
**[20:22] ---**
I'm terrible, aren't I?
**[20:25] ---**
But I don't wanna stay terrible, so...
**[20:28] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[20:30] ---**
I-It's alright.
**[20:32] ---**
That's the end of the story!
**[20:34] ---**
More importantly, Shirayuki,
**[20:36] ---**
you become my slave, too!
**[20:38] ---**
Huh?
**[20:40] ---**
Up until now, no matter who the enemy was,
**[20:43] ---**
I thought all that was needed
was myself and my partner.
**[20:47] ---**
But this time, we were able to defeat
the enemy because we were three.
**[20:51] ---**
So, become my...
**[20:56] ---**
I mean, become my friend!
**[20:58] ---**
*Oh? Aria wants a "friend"?*
**[21:01] ---**
B-But you said slave...
**[21:04] ---**
If it was to be Kin's
slave, I'd agree, but...
**[21:09] ---**
Here. This is a spare key to Kinji's room.
**[21:11] ---**
From now on, you can enter freely.
**[21:13] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:14] ---**
Wow, thanks, Aria!
**[21:17] ---**
A spare key...
**[21:18] ---**
This is proof of your love, Kin!
**[21:20] ---**
Hey now...
**[21:21] ---**
However, stuff like the other day... uhm...
**[21:27] ---**
No naughty stuff between slaves!
**[21:29] ---**
That kind of stuff will
lower the team's morale.
**[21:31] ---**
Aria, you're trying to get
a head start, aren't you?
**[21:34] ---**
Huh?
**[21:35] ---**
Let me tell you something.
**[21:37] ---**
I, too... I, too...
**[21:40] ---**
had a kiss with Kin!
**[21:42] ---**
Wh-What the heck?!
**[21:48] ---**
It's a tie! So, it's a tie!
**[21:51] ---**
All I have to do is gain the lead from there!
**[21:54] ---**
Kinji! You kissed your client?!
**[21:57] ---**
You shameless *Butei*!
**[21:59] ---**
Well, that was...
**[22:01] ---**
S-Stop! Don't shoot!
**[22:07] ---**
You stupid Kinji!!
**[22:41] ---**
*I always ran on my own,*
**[22:47] ---**
*Right up against my limit.*
**[22:54] ---**
*Am I a third wheel? If that's how you feel*
**[22:59] ---**
*It's still not too late.
You can turn back here.*
**[23:06] ---**
*I was used to saying goodbye
until I met you that day.*
**[23:15] ---**
*"I want to protect you"...*
**[23:18] ---**
*No one had said that to me before.*
**[23:28] ---**
*I think I had been waiting
a long time to hear that...*
**[23:32] ---**
*I want to believe in you!*
**[23:39] ---**
*What will be the final?*
**[23:42] ---**
*Through camellia-colored eyes...*
**[23:53] ---**
*Somehow the matter was settled.*
**[23:55] ---**
*But Durandal was persistent.*
**[23:56] ---**
*Persistence reminds us
of Shirayuki doesn't it?*
**[23:58] ---**
*She easily lashes out, too.*
**[23:59] ---**
*It was a tough fight.*
**[24:00] ---**
*That was my first time facing
an enemy who uses ice.*
**[24:02] ---**
*Ice reminds us of snow, and snow
reminds us of Shirayuki, doesn't it?*
**[24:05] ---**
*And yet, she uses flame. That's strange.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Seems like we'll have all kinds of
tough enemies in the future, huh?*
**[24:09] ---**
*Speaking of a tough time in the future,
it reminds us of Shirayuki, doesn't it?*
**[24:12] ---**
*Seriously, I really hate her!*
**[24:13] ---**
*The truth is, you actually like
her quite a bit, don't you?*
**[24:15] ---**
*Next time, Aria the Scarlet Ammo episode 9!*
**[24:15] ---**
"Episode 9: Honey Trap"
**[24:17] ---**
*Honey Trap"!*
**[24:18] ---**
*Honey for scones. Holes for Kinji!*
