[00:06] ---
    I fear nothing,
    I won't be afraid anymore
[00:10] ---
    Colored red and black
[00:13] ---
    This fate and my memories of tomorrow
[00:17] ---
    I hold them close and journey on
[00:33] ---
    Raising my hand to the full moon
[00:37] ---
    I watched the flowing blood
[00:40] ---
    Watched my immutable
    destiny and pulsing heartbeat
[00:47] ---
    They will never mingle
[00:50] ---
    But to make the threshold
    between light and darkness
[00:53] ---
    Melt into one another
[00:55] ---
    I am guided by the story
    beginning here and now
[01:02] ---
    Let us shatter the
    horizon and live together
[01:06] ---
    Though our paths differ
[01:09] ---
    I will be by your side,
    I will not leave it
[01:13] ---
    I will protect you with both my hands
[01:16] ---
    No one can stop it,
    but I will not give up
[01:20] ---
    Clenching fangs and fists tight
[01:23] ---
    This fate and my memories of tomorrow
[01:27] ---
    I will hold them close and protect you
[01:57] ---
    Alice!
[02:09] ---
    Cassy!
[02:12] ---
    Honestly, you scared me.
[02:17] ---
    What an utter failure.
[02:18] ---
    At this rate, you're more like
    a babysitter than her protector.
[02:23] ---
    Jiro's doing the best he can.
[02:26] ---
    Keep saying things like that
    and I'm going to get mad.
[02:28] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[02:34] ---
    Cassa...
[02:45] ---
    Cassa?
[02:47] ---
    What a weird dream.
[02:50] ---
    What?
[02:56] ---
    Oh, Mimi, morning.
[02:58] ---
    Morning, Kotaro.
[03:00] ---
    What happened?
[03:02] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    And don't ask. Please.
[03:18] ---
    Well? Pretty good view, huh?
[03:21] ---
    Yeah.
[03:26] ---
    We're in the Special Zone... right?
[03:29] ---
    That's right. Why do you ask?
[03:31] ---
    Because it looks awfully
    different from what I saw yesterday.
[03:36] ---
    Oh, that.
[03:38] ---
    It's all in the Special Zone,
[03:39] ---
    but what you saw
    yesterday was the New Yard.
[03:42] ---
    This place is called the Old Yard and...
[03:44] ---
    Well, I guess you could
    call it our downtown.
[03:48] ---
    Is someone moving in?
[03:53] ---
    Was that a residential building?
[03:57] ---
    Mimi, I'm hungry!
[04:00] ---
    Oh, right. Sorry about that.
[04:02] ---
    Then, shall we wake up
    Jiro and have breakfast?
[04:04] ---
    Yeah!
[04:07] ---
    By the way, he's really alive, right?
[04:10] ---
    Yeah, he's just sleeping.
[04:13] ---
    Come to think of it, he didn't get
    any sleep during the day yesterday.
[04:19] ---
    Doesn't look like he's going to wake up.
[04:23] ---
    And we need to decide today
    where you guys are going to live, too.
[04:27] ---
    What? We're not gonna
    live here together?
[04:30] ---
    Three people here would be impossible.
[04:34] ---
    Besides, adults don't
    move in together so casually.
[04:40] ---
    But it's a pretty nice place, right?
[04:43] ---
    Yeah. It's small and it
    feels like a secret hideout.
[04:47] ---
    Thank you...
[04:50] ---
    Oh, that reminds me.
    I have to get to work soon...
[04:55] ---
    Gack!
[04:57] ---
    Must be Brother.
[04:58] ---
    He's bad with gadgets, so he probably
    couldn't figure out how to stop it.
[05:02] ---
    Wha... Wha...
[05:08] ---
    "You have 52 messages."
[05:10] ---
    I...
[05:12] ---
    I'm massively late.
[05:28] ---
    Wake the hell up!
[05:36] ---
    You're sure about this?
[05:37] ---
    That Silver Sword has
    entered the Special Zone...
[05:40] ---
    Yes, there is no question.
[05:43] ---
    I believe every power within
    the Special Zone, including ourselves,
[05:46] ---
    is considering how to
    approach the Silver Sword.
[05:49] ---
    To gain the Silver Sword as an ally?
[05:53] ---
    Or...
[05:55] ---
    to attempt to crush him.
[05:57] ---
    Hypothetically speaking, if Silver
    Sword and Crimson-Eyed Zelman
[06:00] ---
    were to clash in the Special Zone,
[06:02] ---
    would the suppression team be able
    to bring things under control quietly?
[06:08] ---
    It would be impossible.
[06:09] ---
    A battle between the Hero of the
    Crusade and an 800-year-old Old Blood...
[06:15] ---
    I doubt we would even
    be able to intervene,
[06:19] ---
    I'm sorry to say.
[06:23] ---
    Then, I will lay out my thoughts.
[06:26] ---
    We, the Company, will seize
    control of Silver Sword.
[06:31] ---
    No matter what methods
    we have to resort to.
[06:33] ---
    It would mean harboring
    a bomb, Chairman.
[06:38] ---
    Better to have him in our grasp
[06:40] ---
    than to hand him over
    to the affiliate houses.
[06:43] ---
    That was my conclusion.
[06:46] ---
    Let's hear your opinion on this.
[06:49] ---
    As one of the human heroes...
[06:52] ---
    I must confess...
[06:55] ---
    I have already taken action.
[06:56] ---
    Oh-ho...
[06:58] ---
    Fast worker as always.
[07:01] ---
    I ask this out of personal curiosity,
[07:04] ---
    but what kind of man
    is this Silver Sword?
[07:07] ---
    You're acquainted with him, aren't you?
[07:10] ---
    That was 10 years ago, but...
[07:13] ---
    Fundamentally, he is a child.
[07:16] ---
    You could say he is a greenhorn.
[07:20] ---
    Well, fine. I'll leave him to you.
[07:23] ---
    Chairman!
[07:24] ---
    But then...
[07:26] ---
    I don't care.
[07:28] ---
    However...
[07:29] ---
    Don't screw up.
[07:38] ---
    No!
[07:39] ---
    Stay away from me!
[07:44] ---
    There's no need to be afraid.
[07:46] ---
    We're offering to teach you.
[07:52] ---
    A pleasure that you'll
    never be able to forget.
[08:16] ---
    About the Silver Sword.
    What shall we do?
[08:19] ---
    Isn't he likely to approach
    the Sei or Warlock house?
[08:22] ---
    Those two should
    know the Silver Sword.
[08:26] ---
    They were in the same
    camp in Hong Kong.
[08:28] ---
    It's possible he'll join
    forces with one of them.
[08:32] ---
    Either way,
[08:33] ---
    it won't be good if those guys become
    any more powerful than they are now.
[08:37] ---
    But this might be a good opportunity
    for us, the Coven, to show off our power.
[08:42] ---
    No doubt about it.
[08:44] ---
    The great Hero of the
    Hong Kong Crusade, huh?
[08:52] ---
    We'll need to lay down the law,
[08:55] ---
    as one of the leaders
    of the Special Zone.
[09:03] ---
    The place I work at is ostensibly
    a company that manages a cemetery.
[09:08] ---
    I'll be right back,
    so wait here a minute.
[09:11] ---
    Got it?
[09:16] ---
    Sorry for being late.
[09:19] ---
    G-Good morning.
[09:24] ---
    No one here.
[09:25] ---
    Hot!
[09:27] ---
    Oh, I'm sorr...
[09:28] ---
    Wait, Miss Mimiko?
    What are you doing?
[09:31] ---
    H-Hibari...
[09:34] ---
    Morning.
[09:35] ---
    Do not "morning" me.
[09:37] ---
    Everyone's been in an uproar since
    this morning because of yesterday.
[09:41] ---
    Even the Chief was going,
    "Where's Mimiko?!"
[09:44] ---
    Frantically trying to call you.
[09:47] ---
    Miss Mimiko, what in
    the world were you doing?
[09:51] ---
    I had... a lot to deal with, too.
[09:54] ---
    Everyone went racing off
    to their assigned affiliate houses,
[09:59] ---
    but shouldn't you be going, too?
[10:01] ---
    W-Well, I'll get around to it...
[10:04] ---
    Here you are.
[10:05] ---
    Thank you.
[10:06] ---
    Not at all.
[10:08] ---
    More importantly, Miss Mimiko,
[10:09] ---
    I have some super top secret
    info, just between you and me.
[10:12] ---
    Yesterday's incident apparently
    involved the famous Silver Sword!
[10:17] ---
    R-Really?
[10:19] ---
    The Silver Sword!
    I mean, the Silver Sword!
[10:21] ---
    The hero of the Hong Kong
    Crusade 10 years ago!
[10:24] ---
    The most powerful vampire
    to side with the humans!
[10:27] ---
    A legendary man that everyone
    in our line of work knows about!
[10:31] ---
    Even in yesterday's commotion,
[10:32] ---
    they say the suppression team
    was completely helpless.
[10:35] ---
    And they say he was laughing
[10:38] ---
    as he wiped out the vampire
    group that caused the commotion.
[10:41] ---
    And they're saying this Silver Sword
    guy's in the Special Zone now!
[10:44] ---
    Not only that,
[10:46] ---
    but it appears it was one of
    our employees that invited him in!
[10:49] ---
    One of ours!
[10:50] ---
    C-Calm down, Hibari!
[10:51] ---
    Oh, I might end up coming
    face-to-face with him someday, too!
[10:55] ---
    What'll I do?! What'll I do?!
[10:58] ---
    What if he suddenly
    comes to suck my blood?!
[11:01] ---
    No! It'd be so embarrassing!
[11:07] ---
    Oh!
[11:10] ---
    Hibari?
[11:13] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[11:16] ---
    Mimi!
[11:18] ---
    Oof. Look, look!
    I'm walking on the wall...
[11:22] ---
    Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
[11:28] ---
    I must be tired!
    I think I'm seeing things...
[11:31] ---
    That kid just now
    was a vampire, wasn't he?!
[11:36] ---
    Owowow, that was so mean of Mimi.
[11:39] ---
    That is what you get for not
    sitting tight like you were told to.
[11:43] ---
    Miss Mimiko, that's...!
[11:44] ---
    Shut up!
[11:45] ---
    Listen to me now. Keep
    to yourself what you just saw.
[11:48] ---
    You understand, don't you?
    Be a good girl...
[11:51] ---
    and don't you tell
    a soul! Understood?
[11:57] ---
    Well, I'm going out again.
[11:59] ---
    You can't tell anyone about this. Got it?
[12:07] ---
    --Big news! Big news!
[12:10] ---
    --Oh, honestly!
[12:10] ---
    --This is big news!
[12:21] ---
    We'll stay away from the office
    for a while until things settle down.
[12:27] ---
    A splendid suggestion.
[12:29] ---
    Let us return right away
    and go back to sleep.
[12:31] ---
    No way!
[12:32] ---
    If my superiors happen
    to come to see me directly,
[12:35] ---
    there'll be no escape!
[12:37] ---
    I have had water poured on me
    first thing in the morning,
[12:39] ---
    then made to walk in sunlight...
[12:42] ---
    I am utterly worn out.
[12:44] ---
    Th-Then, how about going to
    have fun somewhere?! Okay?!
[12:49] ---
    I've decided!
[12:50] ---
    Today, starting now, we are going
    to look for a place for you to live!
[12:55] ---
    But I'm fine with your place...
[12:57] ---
    We are going to look!
[12:59] ---
    In the Special Zone, once
    you've decided where to live,
[13:01] ---
    it's customary to go introduce yourself
[13:03] ---
    to the head of the House
    that claims that area as its territory.
[13:06] ---
    Because those of the same
    House live clustered together.
[13:11] ---
    Those that don't belong to any House
[13:13] ---
    are considered to be a guest
    of the House that controls that area.
[13:18] ---
    You two will be one of those cases.
[13:20] ---
    Broadly speaking, there are
    3 powers in the Special Zone.
[13:24] ---
    One is...
[13:25] ---
    The Mainland faction.
[13:26] ---
    Another one is the European faction.
[13:29] ---
    And the last one is a coalition of others.
[13:31] ---
    To put it the old-fashioned way,
    they are Snakes, Dogs and Darkness.
[13:35] ---
    Is that about right?
[13:37] ---
    H-How did you know that?
[13:39] ---
    It is a microcosm of the world
    at large, without a hint of progress.
[13:43] ---
    Well, fundamentally speaking, the vampire
    is a creature that does not grow, after all.
[13:47] ---
    Brother, you're smart!
[13:49] ---
    It is common knowledge.
[13:51] ---
    Well, anyway, so you'll be seeking
    the aegis of one of the 3 great houses.
[13:56] ---
    You've already decided, haven't you?
[14:00] ---
    Anything but Darkness...
[14:03] ---
    I would expect so.
[14:05] ---
    It seems those that have settled
    here show no signs of progress, either.
[14:11] ---
    Mimi, let's hurry up and go!
[14:15] ---
    As we look for our residence,
[14:16] ---
    shall we also treat ourselves
    to a tour of the Special Zone?
[14:19] ---
    Come, let us go.
[14:20] ---
    All right! We're exploring
    the Special Zone!
[14:23] ---
    H-Hey, hold on!
[14:25] ---
    I'm going to say this now,
    but you better choose seriously.
[14:28] ---
    Okay!
[14:29] ---
    I wasn't talking to you!
[14:53] ---
    Pardon me.
[14:57] ---
    Lord Zelman, I have
    come to report to you.
[15:01] ---
    Right.
[15:09] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Sayuka.
[15:14] ---
    Lord Zelman!
[15:17] ---
    Don't throw a fit.
[15:19] ---
    Auguste's crew sent her
    over to curry my favor.
[15:22] ---
    Please restrain yourself!
[15:25] ---
    A human prepared by them...
[15:27] ---
    There is no knowing when
    the Company might get wind of it.
[15:30] ---
    Don't worry. I've made
    sure to keep her alive.
[15:35] ---
    If you find yourself thirsting,
    please summon me.
[15:40] ---
    After all, that is the purpose
    for which I serve by your side.
[15:43] ---
    Eh? You presume to admonish me?
[15:46] ---
    You've gotten annoying of late.
[15:50] ---
    So?
[15:53] ---
    Didn't you come to report?
[15:55] ---
    Yes.
[15:56] ---
    With regards to the Company's activities,
[15:58] ---
    the executives have entrusted the handling
    of Silver Sword to the Mediation Department.
[16:03] ---
    The Mediation Department...
[16:05] ---
    Jinnai, huh?
[16:06] ---
    As I recall, he was part
    of the Hong Kong group, too.
[16:09] ---
    Wasn't he?
[16:10] ---
    Yes, I believe he fought
    alongside Silver Sword.
[16:15] ---
    So he'll be on the
    Company's side for sure.
[16:17] ---
    No, the very same Silver Sword
    appeared at Marine Bank just earlier.
[16:21] ---
    Oh-ho. The Warlock house, is it?
[16:24] ---
    But it appears Cain Warlock
    refused to see him for some reason.
[16:29] ---
    Currently, Silver Sword
    is headed towards the Old Yard,
[16:32] ---
    so it is believed that he
    is likely headed to see Sei.
[16:35] ---
    That's great. It's getting interesting.
[16:39] ---
    However, Auguste Wyker's
    clique is also beginning to move.
[16:42] ---
    You will be held responsible
    if they run amuck...
[16:45] ---
    I don't care about that. Ignore them.
[16:47] ---
    But...
[16:48] ---
    It's too much trouble.
[16:50] ---
    More importantly, Silver Sword
    had a traveling companion, didn't he?
[16:53] ---
    Yes, his younger brother, supposedly.
[16:56] ---
    I see.
[16:59] ---
    Then who's this one?
[17:01] ---
    That Sei...
[17:03] ---
    Has he grown so weak
    that he hasn't even noticed?
[17:06] ---
    Talk about wretched...
[17:08] ---
    Lord Zelman?
[17:16] ---
    Your report is much appreciated.
[17:20] ---
    I-It was nothing.
[17:25] ---
    We're going out.
[17:27] ---
    B-But the sun is still...
[17:29] ---
    A VIP who's maintained his silence
    for 10 years has come to town.
[17:36] ---
    There's no way I'm missing
    this live performance.
[17:41] ---
    Please wait a moment, Lord Zelman!
[17:46] ---
    Wow!
[17:55] ---
    My goodness.
[17:56] ---
    Awesome! This is awesome!
    Are these all shops?!
[17:59] ---
    Wow, they even sell pots and clothing!
[18:02] ---
    It looks delicious!
[18:04] ---
    Mimiko?
[18:06] ---
    It's not as if I asked
    to see their manager!
[18:09] ---
    So what was with their attitude?!
[18:11] ---
    That condescending
    look that teller gave me!
[18:14] ---
    It ticks me off!
[18:16] ---
    So what if they're a huge bank?!
    It makes me question their humanity!
[18:19] ---
    Do not be so irritated.
[18:22] ---
    What're you acting so tranquil about?!
[18:23] ---
    This is for you two to...
[18:26] ---
    --Now, now, let us calm down a little first.
[18:27] ---
    --Thank you for your business.
[18:30] ---
    Oh, please pay him.
[18:34] ---
    Honestly!
[18:35] ---
    Yay!
[18:36] ---
    Kotaro!
[18:37] ---
    Yay! Yay!
[18:38] ---
    Do not move! What are you
    going to do if we fall off?!
[18:41] ---
    Okay.
[18:43] ---
    As you can see, the float mart
    is sort of like the Old Yard's kitchen.
[18:48] ---
    Foodstuffs, miscellaneous goods...
[18:50] ---
    Let's go in to one
    of these places! Okay? Okay?
[18:52] ---
    Yeah, shall we have lunch?
[18:55] ---
    Jiro, you can't handle garlic...
[19:00] ---
    Please do not move.
[19:02] ---
    It seems we are surrounded.
[19:04] ---
    O-Out here?
[19:06] ---
    Brother, you okay?
[19:15] ---
    It seems the Darkness
    folk have come to say hello.
[19:19] ---
    Oh, they are not a very
    formidable bunch.
[19:23] ---
    We shall just do what we must
    to sidestep them here.
[19:28] ---
    If we just get away
    from the mart now...
[19:40] ---
    Kotaro! I trust you can follow along?
[19:42] ---
    Of course!
[19:43] ---
    Then!
[19:44] ---
    Woohoo!
[19:47] ---
    I'm sorry, mister!
[19:49] ---
    Send the bill to the Company...
[19:56] ---
    C-Can't you be a little
    less flashy about this?
[19:59] ---
    Not to worry.
[20:00] ---
    I have been thoroughly trained
    in the art of jumping 8 enemy boats!
[20:03] ---
    That is not the issue here!
[20:09] ---
    Let's see what the Silver
    Sword's capable of.
[20:18] ---
    Why am I always the one
    ending up in these situations...
[20:22] ---
    Impressive.
[20:23] ---
    To dodge it all under
    those circumstances.
[20:26] ---
    No, really, you did well.
[20:28] ---
    What's wrong? Was that too much
    of an exertion, even for you?
[20:31] ---
    Oh, I'm sure that little bit was a piece
    of cake for the famous hero.
[20:36] ---
    No doubt about it.
[20:37] ---
    But don't you make
    any unnecessary moves.
[20:41] ---
    Or there'll be a mountain
    of bodies caught in the crosshairs.
[20:44] ---
    You guys are playing dirty!
[20:46] ---
    Shut up, you inferior animal!
[20:48] ---
    You Company monkey, keep quiet!
[20:52] ---
    You can relax.
[20:54] ---
    We don't plan to escalate this
    commotion any further for today.
[20:58] ---
    However, it's a different story if you
    plan to settle down in the Special Zone.
[21:03] ---
    You may be safe today, but you never
    know what might happen tomorrow.
[21:07] ---
    A threat?!
[21:08] ---
    How about it, Silver Sword?
[21:10] ---
    If you're going to insist
    on staying in the Special Zone,
[21:12] ---
    why not join our proud Coven?
[21:15] ---
    We would welcome you.
[21:17] ---
    Well? Not a bad deal...
[21:19] ---
    I have heard enough.
[21:21] ---
    What?
[21:22] ---
    Kotaro.
[21:23] ---
    Right.
[21:26] ---
    Jiro?
[21:27] ---
    You attack us unilaterally,
[21:30] ---
    treat us with such rudeness,
[21:32] ---
    and now you demand,
    at gunpoint, that I join you?
[21:36] ---
    You can be only so stupid.
[21:40] ---
    For starters,
[21:42] ---
    I will mete out punishment.
[21:44] ---
    We can talk after that.
[22:08] ---
    Damn Silver Sword.
[22:11] ---
    Die!
[22:24] ---
    In my dreams, my secrets speak
[22:31] ---
    Of the sorrows I come face-to-face with
[22:37] ---
    The sick promise that
    crept in foul, I never knew...
[22:49] ---
    Dreams I can't even look back on
[22:53] ---
    My memories, faded
[22:56] ---
    A shattered heart,
    even the pain has dulled
[23:03] ---
    My soul has burned out
    and turned to cold ash
[23:11] ---
    Welling tears, full of hurt
[23:18] ---
    So tell me... tell me...
    the reason why...
[23:22] ---
    How can you do this to me...
[23:25] ---
    You break my heart...
    And you made me cry...
[23:32] ---
    So tell me... tell me...
    the reason why...
[23:35] ---
    How can you do this to me...
[23:39] ---
    You break my heart...
    And you made me cry...
[23:57] ---
    Your name's Kotaro, was it, boy?
[23:59] ---
    The truth is, I'm interested
    in you two, too.
[24:03] ---
    How about it?
[24:04] ---
    Why not join forces with us,
    you and your big brother?
