*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?*
