*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*
**[01:43] ---**
Please wait, Lady Cassa!
**[01:45] ---**
It will be dawn soon.
**[01:47] ---**
I do not care!
**[01:48] ---**
Damn it!
**[01:49] ---**
Those damn incompetents!
**[01:51] ---**
If they'd contacted me at the residence,
**[01:53] ---**
I would have gone out there myself!
**[01:55] ---**
Surely, you must know.
**[01:57] ---**
The mistress wishes to
separate you from this matter.
**[02:02] ---**
If you continue to behave wantonly,
**[02:04] ---**
the mistress will take action herself!
**[02:08] ---**
That'd be perfect.
**[02:09] ---**
When that time comes,
**[02:10] ---**
I'll settle things with that old hag,
once and for all this time.
**[02:14] ---**
Lady... Cassa...
**[02:18] ---**
When that time comes, Cain,
**[02:20] ---**
you be sure to take my side.
**[02:23] ---**
Though, I won't force you,
if you're unwilling.
**[02:41] ---**
"I want to see Jiro again."
**[02:43] ---**
So she's been saying
these past ten years.
**[02:46] ---**
My sis Cassa has.
**[02:48] ---**
What is the meaning of this?
**[02:50] ---**
Why did you help us?
**[02:53] ---**
Even going so far
as killing your own kin.
**[02:56] ---**
That was nothing particularly special.
**[02:58] ---**
After all, it's our bad luck
that by our very nature,
**[03:01] ---**
our victims turn just by our biting them.
**[03:03] ---**
Leaving them alone
would only lead to trouble.
**[03:11] ---**
Jiro...?
**[03:14] ---**
It's how we live.
**[03:17] ---**
I will not fault you for it.
**[03:19] ---**
I am also a being that
drinks the blood of man.
**[03:23] ---**
If an act were unavoidable
for me to survive,
**[03:25] ---**
I would surely soil my
hands as much as needed.
**[03:27] ---**
Well, this is rather surprising.
**[03:30] ---**
Not many are kind enough
to see it that way.
**[03:33] ---**
It is for the same reason
that I cut your kind down.
**[03:38] ---**
To me, the Kowloon Children
are a menace I cannot ignore.
**[03:43] ---**
That is why I cut your kind down.
**[03:45] ---**
Whether you have done wrong or not,
**[03:48] ---**
I will eliminate you as my enemy.
**[03:50] ---**
I see.
**[03:52] ---**
That was a ridiculous thing
for me to say to the Kin-Killer.
**[03:55] ---**
Once again, we appreciate you
leaving the sanctuary, Lord Silver Sword.
**[04:00] ---**
We siblings warmly welcome your return.
**[04:04] ---**
You welcome the
object of your vengeance?
**[04:06] ---**
The blood of Kowloon loves chaos.
**[04:09] ---**
Nothing is more boring than
the absence of a worthy opponent.
**[04:15] ---**
Mimi?
**[04:18] ---**
Where is Cassa right now?
**[04:21] ---**
Nearby.
**[04:26] ---**
Why you!
**[04:32] ---**
Worthy opponent, my ass!
**[04:34] ---**
I have no intention of playing
games with you people!
**[04:36] ---**
Come on, man.
**[04:38] ---**
All we've had are old stories,
**[04:41] ---**
and we've waited for a long time now!
**[04:51] ---**
There's another reason why I came here.
**[04:54] ---**
What?
**[04:55] ---**
I was hoping to test my skill against you!
**[05:08] ---**
Jiro...
**[05:12] ---**
Damn.
**[05:13] ---**
Are you not taking me seriously?!
**[05:28] ---**
Can't get serious against a stripling
only 10 years out from turning?
**[05:38] ---**
It's the suppression team!
**[05:45] ---**
You disappoint me!
**[05:53] ---**
Brother!
**[05:54] ---**
Jiro, are you all right?
**[06:02] ---**
Mimiko, this is goodbye.
**[06:05] ---**
This place is no longer safe for us.
**[06:09] ---**
W-Wait.
**[06:11] ---**
We are going, Kotaro.
**[06:13] ---**
What?! But it's too sudden!
**[06:15] ---**
That's right. At least let the
Company know about those guys...
**[06:19] ---**
No. After what has happened,
**[06:21] ---**
I have no intention of involving
myself with the Company, either.
**[06:26] ---**
Brother, you can't.
**[06:27] ---**
Let's stay here for just a little longer.
**[06:31] ---**
I have no intention of
arguing with you right now.
**[06:34] ---**
Be good and come with me.
**[06:36] ---**
Brother, please.
**[06:38] ---**
Can you not do as your brother asks?
**[06:41] ---**
If you're gonna insist
on leaving, that's fine,
**[06:44] ---**
but before we do, let's have
a proper talk with Sei and Cain.
**[06:48] ---**
That is, how do I say this?
**[06:50] ---**
I can't put it into words well, but...
**[06:53] ---**
It's not good to say goodbye
to everyone right now!
**[07:02] ---**
Jiro...
**[07:04] ---**
Please, listen to me...
**[07:07] ---**
Pardon me.
**[07:09] ---**
D-Don't apologize.
**[07:11] ---**
Come on, please...
**[07:19] ---**
Brother, that's awful!
**[07:22] ---**
Ji... ro...
**[07:30] ---**
A case of primary contagion
within the Special Zone.
**[07:33] ---**
Not only that, but the source of
the contagion is a second generation
**[07:36] ---**
Kowloon Child, who is still at large.
**[07:38] ---**
This is the worst crisis conceivable.
**[07:41] ---**
The Company will pour all its resources
**[07:43] ---**
into capturing and eliminating
the contagion source.
**[07:46] ---**
I have no intention of
begrudging our cooperation.
**[07:50] ---**
The fugitive vampire's
name is Yafuri Chiu.
**[07:54] ---**
It has only been 10 years
since he was turned.
**[07:57] ---**
As long as the conditions are right,
**[07:59] ---**
I believe the suppression team
can deal with him by themselves.
**[08:02] ---**
Then why did the Silver
Sword fail to finish him?
**[08:05] ---**
I do not know.
**[08:07] ---**
More importantly, the fact that
he made it into the Special Zone
**[08:10] ---**
raises the possibility of an insider.
**[08:15] ---**
Mister Sei,
**[08:16] ---**
I would like to hear the
precise conditions necessary
**[08:19] ---**
to cross the barrier.
**[08:21] ---**
One must merely be invited.
**[08:22] ---**
Knowing
that you are addressing a vampire,
**[08:24] ---**
you convey your will to invite them in.
**[08:26] ---**
Do so, and the barrier will not react.
**[08:29] ---**
However, the inviter
must be qualified as well.
**[08:32] ---**
In what way?
**[08:33] ---**
He must live in the Special Zone.
**[08:35] ---**
He must be human.
**[08:37] ---**
How is the former determined?
**[08:39] ---**
His own awareness.
**[08:41] ---**
He must live upon this land
**[08:43] ---**
and consider this place
to be where he belongs.
**[08:46] ---**
I understand. We have a pressing
need to identify this insider.
**[08:53] ---**
Very well.
**[08:54] ---**
It was never my intention to hide this.
**[08:57] ---**
I know the person named Cassa
that he mentioned to the Silver Sword.
**[09:03] ---**
Cassandra Jill Warlock.
**[09:06] ---**
Formerly a prominent
figure in the Warlock house,
**[09:08] ---**
she is a woman I once served.
**[09:11] ---**
Ten years ago,
**[09:12] ---**
when the Source Blood of that
bloodline was born in Kowloon,
**[09:15] ---**
she was likely the first to
become tainted by their blood...
**[09:20] ---**
She is a traitor.
**[09:21] ---**
My goodness...
**[09:23] ---**
So she's alive...
**[09:25] ---**
If she is involved in this incident,
**[09:28] ---**
the situation is truly turning grave...
**[09:30] ---**
She was even called the second coming
**[09:33] ---**
of Morgan the Witch,
our bloodline's Source Blood.
**[09:35] ---**
That's how skilled she is with magic.
**[09:38] ---**
So skilled that I am no match for her.
**[09:41] ---**
I have some history
with this woman as well.
**[09:44] ---**
No, any principal members
involved in that Crusade
**[09:48] ---**
will have some feelings
regarding the matter.
**[09:51] ---**
Particularly, Jiro.
**[09:55] ---**
The Silver Sword?
**[09:58] ---**
Yes.
**[10:00] ---**
This Yafuri...
**[10:01] ---**
Though he is a Kowloon Child,
**[10:03] ---**
I cannot think that he would be
too much for Jiro to handle.
**[10:06] ---**
He must have become unsettled
at the mention of Cassa's name.
**[10:11] ---**
That inexperienced idiot...
**[10:15] ---**
What do you think, Sei?
**[10:17] ---**
Would you be able to win against her?
**[10:26] ---**
I would.
**[10:28] ---**
I am relieved to hear that.
**[10:30] ---**
The Special Zone was developed
as the successor of Hong Kong.
**[10:35] ---**
We must prevent it from sharing
the same fate as Hong Kong at all costs.
**[10:40] ---**
Gentlemen!
**[10:41] ---**
We must sever their line!
**[10:44] ---**
As quickly as possible!
**[11:07] ---**
Bro.
**[11:09] ---**
O-Oh, it's you, Yafuri.
**[11:12] ---**
Welcome back.
**[11:13] ---**
Talk about exaggerated surprise.
**[11:15] ---**
Want something to eat?
**[11:16] ---**
Any new developments?
**[11:18] ---**
Sis has arrived.
**[11:20] ---**
For real?
**[11:21] ---**
Totally for real.
**[11:22] ---**
And she's super enthusiastic at that.
**[11:25] ---**
We'll just have to let it
run its course now.
**[11:27] ---**
That look in her eyes wasn't normal.
Things couldn't be worse.
**[11:30] ---**
Where is she now?
**[11:31] ---**
Already out for a night on the town.
**[11:33] ---**
What do you make of it, Yafuri?
**[11:35] ---**
Here we are, working hard,
and she hasn't even lent us a hand.
**[11:40] ---**
Talk about self-centered, huh?
**[11:43] ---**
Did Sis say anything?
**[11:45] ---**
Not especially.
**[11:46] ---**
I-I see.
**[11:48] ---**
Well, she didn't seem that mad, so relax.
**[11:52] ---**
Why don't you ask?
**[11:55] ---**
I was fighting the Silver Sword
until just now, you know.
**[11:59] ---**
I know.
**[12:00] ---**
How?! There was no one around...
**[12:02] ---**
There was a half-dead member of the
Coven lying on the ground, remember?
**[12:06] ---**
In the yard.
**[12:07] ---**
I was watching from there.
**[12:12] ---**
Don't ever do that again.
**[12:13] ---**
You shouldn't throw away your life.
**[12:16] ---**
If you were watching, then you know!
**[12:18] ---**
I was winning against the Silver Sword!
**[12:20] ---**
If we hadn't been interrupted,
I would've had him!
**[12:24] ---**
Why are you and Sis
so hung up about that guy?!
**[12:28] ---**
So it is jealousy.
**[12:30] ---**
Wha?!
**[12:31] ---**
What did you just say, you bastard?!
**[12:33] ---**
Wanna take this outside?! Eh?!
**[12:37] ---**
But you know, Yafuri,
**[12:39] ---**
even if you had continued your fight,
**[12:41] ---**
you wouldn't have been able
to win against the Silver Sword.
**[12:44] ---**
There's a lot to that bloodline.
**[12:47] ---**
You don't know that.
**[12:49] ---**
Well, that's fine.
**[12:50] ---**
Rest until the sun comes up.
**[12:53] ---**
Okay?
**[12:57] ---**
Then, you can start by cleaning that up.
**[13:01] ---**
Man...
**[13:09] ---**
*We just cannot.*
**[13:11] ---**
*We cannot stay here.*
**[13:16] ---**
Kotaro.
**[13:17] ---**
We are leaving.
**[13:24] ---**
*I'm gonna go say a proper
goodbye to Mimi.*
**[13:27] ---**
*I'll be right back, so don't worry.*
**[13:30] ---**
*Oh, no!*
**[13:54] ---**
I'm... late again.
**[14:04] ---**
Oh, right.
**[14:06] ---**
*We will leave the Special Zone.*
**[14:11] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:13] ---**
Damn it all!
**[14:18] ---**
Oh, Miss Mimiko, are you
okay with getting up already?
**[14:24] ---**
Hibari...
**[14:26] ---**
The Chief gave me a message for you.
**[14:28] ---**
He said you could take the day off.
**[14:31] ---**
I guess you've been
serving in a critical capacity.
**[14:34] ---**
Your hard work is appreciated.
**[14:36] ---**
I haven't served in a critical capacity.
**[14:38] ---**
Besides, I failed to do my job in the end.
**[14:41] ---**
You did?
**[14:42] ---**
But it's nothing for you
to get upset about.
**[14:45] ---**
That's not anything
unusual for you anyway.
**[14:47] ---**
How dare you!
**[14:48] ---**
Whoops. A slip of the tongue.
**[14:53] ---**
Miss Mimiko!
**[14:55] ---**
Please cheer up!
**[14:57] ---**
It's all the Silver Sword's fault anyway!
**[15:01] ---**
That Silver Sword...
**[15:02] ---**
To think he unilaterally dumped you,
**[15:04] ---**
once he got inside the Special Zone
and got what he wanted...
**[15:06] ---**
And bringing you into
a hotel like this, too...
**[15:10] ---**
Huh?
**[15:11] ---**
What a beastly man!
**[15:13] ---**
What?
**[15:15] ---**
Oh, but Miss Mimiko, please rest easy.
**[15:19] ---**
I checked the regulations.
**[15:21] ---**
If a compromiser allowed
a Black Blood to drink her blood,
**[15:25] ---**
she would be dealt with harshly,
**[15:27] ---**
but it's okay if she was
assaulted against her will!
**[15:29] ---**
W-Wait, Hibari, what kind of
explanation did the Chief give you...
**[15:34] ---**
He didn't tell me anything!
But I can tell!
**[15:37] ---**
For today, let's go to the Seventh
Yard area and party big time!
**[15:42] ---**
Oh, but before we do...
**[15:44] ---**
You'd better go to the hospital.
**[15:47] ---**
Y-You delusional girl!
**[15:49] ---**
Huh?
**[15:51] ---**
The day you spread rumors like that,
**[15:53] ---**
I'll strip you naked
and hang you from the roof!
**[15:56] ---**
What?! I'm wrong?!
**[15:59] ---**
What're you acting so disappointed for?!
**[16:00] ---**
Because, the Chief called me over
with his brows furrowed and said,
**[16:04] ---**
"Mimiko is at a hotel.
She's depressed, so go be with her."
**[16:09] ---**
So, hearing that, I totally thought...
**[16:12] ---**
Totally thought...?
**[16:13] ---**
Oh, no, well...
**[16:15] ---**
Then I guess the Silver Sword
isn't such a complete villain.
**[16:20] ---**
I see. I guess it was
just like that person said.
**[16:23] ---**
That person?
**[16:24] ---**
Oh, right. Actually,
downstairs in the lobby...
**[16:28] ---**
Huh?
**[16:32] ---**
Oh, you could have
just waited downstairs.
**[16:36] ---**
Sorry. You were taking
so long, I got worried.
**[16:41] ---**
Hello, Mimiko.
**[16:43] ---**
Miss Wong!
**[17:03] ---**
*Where are you, Kotaro?!*
**[17:06] ---**
And you're satisfied with that?
**[17:10] ---**
From everything that you've told me,
the Special Zone needs him.
**[17:14] ---**
Don't you think it's your job to find him?
**[17:18] ---**
But...
**[17:18] ---**
You can't.
**[17:20] ---**
It's dangerous.
**[17:21] ---**
I am asking Mimiko!
**[17:25] ---**
Please tell me what your honest
feelings are on this, Mimiko.
**[17:28] ---**
Are you fine with just forsaking
the Silver Sword like this?
**[17:32] ---**
Miss Mimiko...
**[17:34] ---**
I will look for him.
**[17:36] ---**
I will find Jiro and talk to him properly.
**[17:40] ---**
Miss Mimiko, there's just no way!
**[17:43] ---**
How do you plan to search for him
in this vast Special Zone?!
**[17:46] ---**
If the Silver Sword is after the enemy,
**[17:48] ---**
I have an idea of where he might be.
**[17:50] ---**
Tsang talked about it.
**[17:52] ---**
That he had friends in the Eleventh Yard.
**[17:54] ---**
What?
**[17:56] ---**
What's wrong?
**[17:57] ---**
Um, that's sort of an old
urban legend in the Special Zone.
**[18:03] ---**
What?
**[18:05] ---**
Here, there are only
a total of ten districts.
**[18:08] ---**
The eleventh district doesn't exist.
**[18:11] ---**
Doesn't exist?
**[18:12] ---**
No.
**[18:15] ---**
After the Hong Kong Crusade,
**[18:16] ---**
there was a story that some
kind of legacy was brought
**[18:18] ---**
in to the Special Zone, which was
under development back then.
**[18:22] ---**
And the place where it's hidden
**[18:23] ---**
is said to be the Eleventh Yard,
which doesn't actually exist.
**[18:27] ---**
I had no idea...
**[18:29] ---**
Oh, but even without any
clues, I'll look for Jiro.
**[18:34] ---**
Um, I know someone
who's researching that.
**[18:37] ---**
What?
**[18:38] ---**
Who?
**[18:39] ---**
An information broker
who comes by regularly.
**[18:41] ---**
Oh, he's not a bad person.
**[18:44] ---**
He comes by every so often
and we exchange information.
**[18:55] ---**
Now, then...
**[19:10] ---**
Call on the affiliate houses
to provide us with information.
**[19:13] ---**
We must find clues to the whereabouts
of the Kowloon Child that snuck in.
**[19:19] ---**
Damn it! Things are going so slow!
**[19:24] ---**
That lady is always, always...
**[19:33] ---**
I am looking for my younger brother.
**[19:36] ---**
What?! What do you mean?!
**[19:39] ---**
I cannot sense my
younger brother's aura.
**[19:44] ---**
You idiot!
**[19:46] ---**
You ran away from those bastards!
**[19:48] ---**
What the hell have you
been doing all this time?!
**[19:50] ---**
Please! Even the most
trifling bit of information!
**[19:54] ---**
If you know anything, please tell me!
**[19:56] ---**
You must know what kind of situation
the Special Zone is in right now!
**[20:00] ---**
You think we have the time
to concern ourselves over one child?!
**[20:06] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[20:07] ---**
To look for my younger brother.
**[20:09] ---**
How?
**[20:11] ---**
He's severed your empathetic link, right?
**[20:14] ---**
Do I have any other choice?!
**[20:16] ---**
If I do, tell me!
**[20:18] ---**
But if you have nothing, shut up!
**[20:21] ---**
You're behaving unseemly! Calm down.
**[20:23] ---**
Calm down?!
**[20:24] ---**
Cassa could find my younger
brother at any moment now!
**[20:28] ---**
Damn it! If you have
no intention of helping,
**[20:31] ---**
don't meddle in the affairs
of my bloodline any more!
**[20:37] ---**
Jiro!!
**[20:51] ---**
Get up.
**[20:54] ---**
And you call yourself the protector
that the Lady Sage chose?
**[20:58] ---**
Listen to me!
**[20:59] ---**
It's true that the Special
Zone is in danger,
**[21:02] ---**
but what the enemy
is after is not your kin.
**[21:07] ---**
You two came to the Special
Zone only two days ago.
**[21:10] ---**
This plan of theirs was devised
meticulously over a long time.
**[21:15] ---**
Then what has Cassa come
to the Special Zone for?
**[21:19] ---**
There's no need to tell you that.
**[21:23] ---**
At any rate, now that the enemy
knows of your presence here,
**[21:27] ---**
there's no guarantee they won't
start up something else, either.
**[21:32] ---**
Go to the park we were at yesterday.
**[21:33] ---**
I'll send Rinsuke.
**[21:34] ---**
What?
**[21:35] ---**
Losing that one won't hurt us much.
**[21:39] ---**
At the very least, he knows
the Special Zone better than you.
**[21:43] ---**
Cain...
**[21:44] ---**
Save it. I don't want to hear any of it.
**[21:46] ---**
Get out of here.
**[21:54] ---**
That guy never grows up.
**[22:00] ---**
Have you found anything?
**[22:01] ---**
We discovered their hideout.
**[22:03] ---**
I'll be right there.
**[22:09] ---**
Everything is falling apart...
**[22:12] ---**
Yet, it's all moving together...
**[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...*
**[23:56] ---**
*What is it?*
**[23:58] ---**
*Cain said so as well.*
**[23:59] ---**
*That what Cassa is after is not us.*
**[24:02] ---**
*Then what is their objective*
**[24:04] ---**
*that they would risk such danger
to enter the Special Zone?*
