    DISTRESS
[00:06] ---
    Did I surprise you?
[00:07] ---
    But deep down inside,
    aren't you relieved?
[00:09] ---
    I guess so.
[00:11] ---
    But I can't believe Angel let you.
[00:14] ---
    Well, this is an emergency after all.
[00:16] ---
    By the way, have you heard
    about the Illuminati using demon eaters...
[00:20] ---
    to target demons with high immortality
    and regenerative abilities?
[00:25] ---
    Yeah.
[00:26] ---
    We've been told to report
    any unregistered demons to the Order.
[00:32] ---
    You know of any, Shura?
[00:33] ---
    Not me.
[00:35] ---
    - Why do you ask?
    - Huh?
[00:37] ---
    I mean, you're using a Naga
    as your familiar, right?
[00:41] ---
    Aren't upper-level Nagas immortal
    in most cases?
[00:47] ---
    Don't look at me.
[00:49] ---
    The one I know doesn't have
    any immortality ability.

[01:14] ---
    Until now, I've only feared these eyes blindly.
[01:20] ---
    Yukio...
[01:21] ---
    Instead of living in fear of the darkness...
[01:24] ---
    you should become stronger
    and help people and your brother.

[01:27] ---
    I wanna become stronger!
[01:31] ---
    Stronger than Rin!
[03:09] ---
    I should put them to the test
    to find out what they are.

[03:14] ---
    I've cleared the Order's medical exams.
[03:17] ---
    Which means that it's not hereditary like Rin's,
    and moreover, it's not as if I've been possessed.

[03:32] ---
    I'll have to start by recreating
    the scenario that activated my eyes' power.

[03:37] ---
    It started during that battle with Todo.
[03:42] ---
    The second time was when I ran into Lucifer.
[03:49] ---
    Both scenarios shared one common element.
[03:53] ---
    Fear.
[03:54] ---
    The kind of fear you feel
    when death is in front of you.

[03:58] ---
    Meaning that I'll have to create
    life-threatening fear on my own.

[05:00] ---
    Come on!
[05:18] ---
    I tested this method...
[05:20] ---
    thinking it'd give me a chance at survival...
[05:22] ---
    even if I were driven to the brink of death.
[05:29] ---
    But apparently, a no-risk choice like this one
    isn't nearly potent enough!

[05:41] ---
    Wanna go to Pon-chan's now?
[05:43] ---
    There's no cram school today,

    After I'm done running errands for my master—
[05:52] ---
    Oh man, I went and did it!
[05:54] ---
    You what?
[05:55] ---
    Sorry! Master's in trouble!
[05:57] ---
    I'm hanging up now!
    Good luck studying!

[06:00] ---
    Suguro sure seems busy.
[06:01] ---
    He's totally like Lightning's manager now!

    What could it be? I need to hit the books.
    I haven't been making much headway lately.

    He wasn't just memorizing stuff,
[06:22] ---
    he was studying the definitions
    of the words, and all the history, too.
[06:26] ---
    And he was actually pretty good
    at teaching!

    Bon, a manager?
[06:35] ---
    That part really bugs you, huh?
[06:38] ---
    Shima, we can't go on
    relying on Bon all the time.
[06:43] ---
    Um...
[06:44] ---
    Right now, I'm...
[06:46] ---
    uh...
[06:48] ---
    studying system development.
[06:50] ---
    Huh?
[06:51] ---
    Initially, I was categorizing
    demon battle data,
[06:56] ---
    but then I started wondering
    if there was a way to put that data to use.
[07:00] ---

[07:09] ---
    I'm trying to figure out a way
    to create an app that will let you do that.
[07:13] ---
    In other words, with an app like that,
    we won't have to study anymore, right?
[07:18] ---
    Good luck making that app!
[07:20] ---
    Hey, no, it'll just be supplementary.
[07:23] ---
    You'll still need to study.
[07:25] ---
    But I'm going to give it my all!
[07:27] ---
    Right!
[07:27] ---
    You sure are moving forward, huh, Koneko?
[07:31] ---
    We're all heading down different paths, huh?
[07:36] ---
    I guess I'm going to have to accept that.
[07:39] ---
    You got that right! You're going
    down the craziest path of all, you know!
[07:44] ---
    Actually, like you said the other day,
    Koneko, I'm not taking the Aria exam anymore.
[07:50] ---
    Huh?
[07:52] ---
    I'm thinking of taking the exams
    for Knights and Tamers.
[07:56] ---
    Before, I was like,
    "Well, I can't come back here anyway,"
[07:59] ---
    so it didn't matter to me what I took
    and I didn't give it much thought,
[08:02] ---
    but since I did get to come back,
    I figured I'd take it a little seriously.
[08:08] ---
    Shima...
[08:09] ---
    Yeah, but studying is really draining.
[08:12] ---
    Sitting still for so long's already an ordeal.
[08:15] ---
    I hear you.
[08:16] ---
    Oh, great!
[08:17] ---
    You're still here.
[08:19] ---
    Man, I'm starving!
[08:20] ---
    Old man, I'll have
    an extra-large order of yakisoba.
[08:22] ---
    You got it!
[08:24] ---
    Lord Bon, please help me study!
[08:26] ---
    Suguro, we've been waiting for you!
    What's a "Shechem"?
[08:29] ---
    What the hell, guys?
[08:30] ---
    Shechem's the name of a place.
[08:32] ---
    Nablus in what's called Palestine today.
[08:34] ---
    Bon, what would we do without you?
[08:37] ---
    So, maybe you were always cut out
    to be a manager, Bon.
[08:43] ---
    You've even shaved your head.
[08:45] ---
    I wouldn't call that "shaved."
[08:46] ---
    Come on, it's just as good as shaved!
[08:48] ---
    I'm his apprentice now.
    I thought it was time for a clean slate.
[08:52] ---
    Bon, why would you go that far?
[08:55] ---
    That guy...
[08:57] ---
    Lightning's got everything I'm lacking in,
    in terms of talent and mentality.
[09:03] ---
    So...
[09:04] ---
    in other words...
[09:06] ---
    I'm smitten with him!
[09:07] ---
    - Huh?
    - Huh?
[09:08] ---
    It's not something I can explain with logic.
[09:12] ---
    No way!
[09:13] ---
    Hearing that you're smitten
    with someone, Bon... What a shock!
[09:17] ---
    Huh?
[09:18] ---
    You've always been like our master, Bon.
[09:22] ---
    No way can you be someone's underling!
[09:26] ---
    No!
[09:27] ---
    Ever since I was a kid, people have always
    put me up on a pedestal.
[09:31] ---
    To be honest, that's all I know.
[09:34] ---
    I'd like to see what I can do,
    serving under someone for once!
[09:39] ---
    Bon...
[09:40] ---
    You're serious about this, aren't you?
[09:42] ---
    Don't cry, Konekomaru.
[09:44] ---
    Suguro's one sincere guy!
[09:46] ---
    I'll be rooting for him!
[09:48] ---
    Come on, he's not our monkey boss!
[09:50] ---
    You guys, could you pipe down for a second?
[09:57] ---
    For days now...
[10:00] ---
    I haven't been able to commit myself.
[10:03] ---
    When I think I might never be able
    to come back again...

[10:13] ---
    Okay, so am I going to spend the rest of my life
    in fear of my lineage and the Illuminati?

[10:21] ---
    Make up your mind!
[10:25] ---
    I have no choice...
[10:26] ---
    but to do it now!
[10:29] ---
    To do it!
[10:45] ---
    No!
[10:47] ---
    I'm scared!
[10:48] ---
    I'm scared!
[10:49] ---
    I'm scared!
[10:50] ---
    I don't wanna die!

    Morning, Mother!
[11:08] ---
    Are you leaving already?
[11:09] ---
    Well, my suppliers are quarreling.

    Your pin's still in your hair.
[11:13] ---
    Oh!
[11:14] ---
    That wound you got recently...
[11:16] ---
    You may not need to bandage it anymore,
    but there's a scar.

    I can hide it with my bangs,
    so I don't mind.
[11:24] ---
    Oh, right...
[11:25] ---
    About the Exorcist Certification Exam...
[11:28] ---
    I'm still not sure which Meister to apply for.
[11:31] ---
    I can take the exams, right?
[11:36] ---
    Listen, you're not really planning
    to become an exorcist, are you?
[11:41] ---
    What?
[11:43] ---
    Well, not that I don't think it's great
    that you've become so positive.
[11:49] ---
    After all, I've seen
    how hard you've worked all year.
[11:53] ---
    But...
[11:55] ---
    it's dangerous work, isn't it?
[11:57] ---
    Do you really want to become
    an exorcist in the future?
[12:09] ---
    It's been a while
    since we went on a mission...
[12:11] ---
    just you and me.
[12:12] ---
    That's true!

    Uh...
[13:03] ---
    Whoa!
[13:04] ---
    There are tons of them!
[13:06] ---
    Rin, will you be okay using Holy Water?
[13:09] ---
    Yeah, if it's a spray,
    it will just sting a little.
[13:14] ---
    If I carry that tank,
    my bag will be in the way.

[13:17] ---
    Nee, would you mind staying behind?
[13:20] ---
    Nee! Nee!
[13:26] ---
    By the way, which Meister exam are you taking?
[13:29] ---
    What?
[13:30] ---
    How about you, Rin?
[13:32] ---
    I'm taking the Knight exam.
[13:33] ---
    All I can do is wield a sword anyway.
[13:36] ---
    I see.
[13:38] ---
    You're so steadfast, Rin.
[13:42] ---
    I'm still thinking it over!
[13:45] ---
    Hmm?
[13:50] ---
    Oh, sorry!
[13:52] ---
    There's something inside this house.
[13:54] ---
    I'm feeling it from below.
[13:56] ---
    Could be Koks.
[13:57] ---
    Then, let's head outside for now.
[13:59] ---
    We should notify that captain.
[14:01] ---
    Koks, right?
[14:02] ---
    So, they're just amalgamated
    Coal Tars, that's all.
[14:06] ---
    It'll be fine.
[14:07] ---
    Even if they come out,
    it'll be a snap to— Huh?

    Rin!
[14:22] ---
    Rin!
[14:24] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:26] ---
    There's a wooden stake stuck in you!
[14:28] ---
    You're bleed—
[14:30] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:31] ---
    What am I going to do?
[14:33] ---
    I've left Nee and my bag behind
    at a time like this!
[14:37] ---
    It's okay. This will heal in no time.
[14:40] ---
    But what about you?
    You're not hurt, are you?
[14:42] ---
    I'm fine!
[14:44] ---
    I'm glad.
[14:45] ---
    That this didn't happen to you.

    and then I'll call for help—
[15:11] ---
    It's no good.
[15:12] ---
    If I move this tree, the rubble up there
    could come crashing down.

    Hey!

    Hey!
[15:28] ---
    Hey!

    The captain will be heading back any minute!
[15:39] ---
    Hang in there, Rin!
[15:40] ---
    Sorry.
[15:42] ---
    It's my fault we ended up like this.
[15:45] ---
    I'm always pulling stuff like this.
[15:47] ---
    Yukio's always yelling at me
    over this kind of thing.
[15:50] ---
    That's true.
[15:51] ---
    If Yuki were here right now,
    he'd probably get mad.
[15:54] ---
    And say, "Rin!"
[15:55] ---
    Huh? Where'd that voice come from?
[15:58] ---
    He'd be mad out of worry for you.
[16:02] ---
    I bet my mother's worried
    about me right now, too.
[16:07] ---
    Of course she'd worry.
[16:09] ---
    We're family after all.
[16:12] ---
    Oh no! Now that the sun
    has gone down, it's cold!
[16:16] ---
    Aren't you cold, Rin—
[16:21] ---
    Oh! So warm!
[16:23] ---
    This should warm you up a little, right?
[16:28] ---
    Come closer.
[16:34] ---
    Ow!
[16:34] ---
    Sorry!
[16:35] ---
    S-Sure...
[16:39] ---
    I-I can control them
    a lot better than I used to.
[16:43] ---
    I can even mold them
    into any kind of shape I want.
[16:45] ---
    Really? I'd like to see that!
[16:48] ---
    Hey, if you insist!
[16:49] ---
    Then, let me make you
    my specialty, Kuro!
[16:55] ---
    Wow! What a cute octopus!
[16:57] ---
    I said it's Kuro!
[17:00] ---
    So pretty!
[17:03] ---
    I...
[17:05] ---
    really like your flames, Rin.
[17:08] ---
    They're so warm and so calming.
[17:12] ---
    I really like them!
[17:17] ---
    I like...
[17:19] ---
    you, too!
[17:21] ---
    Huh?
[17:25] ---
    Oh... Oh... Th-Thanks!
[17:28] ---
    That makes me happy!
[17:36] ---
    Rin?
[17:40] ---
    Y-You mean the other kind of "like," right?
[17:42] ---
    As a friend!
[17:50] ---
    You like Yukio, don't you?
[17:52] ---
    Y-Yes. Of course I like Yuki, too.
[17:55] ---
    Both you and Yuki are my friends!
[17:58] ---
    Huh? That's not how you feel about Yukio!
[18:00] ---
    You're always worrying about him...
[18:02] ---
    and you wouldn't be like, "Yuki!"...
[18:04] ---
    toward a friend!
[18:06] ---
    B-Because Yuki was my hero...
[18:09] ---
    but he isn't now!
[18:11] ---
    As Yuki's friend,
    I want to be there for him.
[18:16] ---
    Even though I might not be up to the task.
[18:19] ---
    Huh? D-Don't tell me...
[18:22] ---
    that you don't have romantic feelings
    for either Yukio or me!
[18:25] ---
    Romantic?
[18:27] ---
    M-Me?
[18:28] ---
    I-I c-c-could never!
[18:29] ---
    I-I'm still just a child!
[18:32] ---
    Romance? No way!
[18:37] ---
    Rin, is your "like"...
[18:39] ---
    a romantic "like"?
[18:42] ---
    Uh... Uh...
[18:50] ---
    Are these Coal Tars?
[18:53] ---
    They're seeping in from below!
[18:55] ---
    Does that mean the ground
    is infested with them?
[18:57] ---
    In that case, they're gigantic!
[19:00] ---
    Aren't these Koks?
[19:01] ---
    Damn!
[19:02] ---
    Then, we're just going to have to kill them off!
[19:09] ---
    What happened?
[19:10] ---
    It's on fire!
[19:11] ---
    Did a monster just blow up?
[19:13] ---
    You need to get that leg looked at!
[19:15] ---
    It's all right.
[19:17] ---
    It's going to heal
    in an hour or so anyway.
[19:24] ---
    I-I can't do this!
[19:26] ---
    No, no, no! So embarrassed!
    So embarrassed!

[19:29] ---
    I can't even look Rin in the eye!
    What's wrong with me?

[19:32] ---
    Wh-Whaaaaat?
[19:34] ---
    Uh, I'm sorry. I went and did it.
[19:37] ---
    Don't give me that "I went and did it" crap!
[19:39] ---
    Hello? Fire department? Fire department?
[19:41] ---
    Rin!
[19:43] ---
    Come on, sit yourself down here!
[19:44] ---
    You shouldn't overdo it!
[19:49] ---
    I remember this same thing happening before.
[19:52] ---
    That's right!
[19:54] ---
    Rin, I've made up my mind!
[19:57] ---
    I'm going to be of use to everyone!
[20:00] ---
    That was the starting point.
[20:04] ---
    What is she thinking about?
[20:06] ---
    So awkward!
[20:09] ---
    Huh? Wh-What's this?
[20:28] ---
    What just happened?
[20:30] ---
    Did I pass out?
[20:32] ---
    Dammit!
[20:35] ---
    But there's no question
    that something happened.

[20:38] ---
    Just as I thought,
    these eyes are protecting me.

[21:02] ---
    I should've done this...
[21:05] ---
    from the start.
[21:09] ---
    Show me who you really are...
[21:11] ---
    you monster!
[21:30] ---
    Yes?
[23:03] ---
    What do you want?
[23:04] ---
    Huh?
[23:05] ---
    Y-Yukio!
[23:07] ---
    You come over here, too.
[23:09] ---
    The thing is...
[23:10] ---
    Ms. Kirigakure has been missing
    for the last few days.
[23:14] ---
    Huh?
[23:15] ---
    Do either of you have any idea
    where she might be?
[23:18] ---
    No.
[23:20] ---
    Nope.
[23:22] ---
    I thought not.
[23:23] ---
    But I do have an idea!
[23:25] ---
    Why did you call us here?
[23:28] ---
    I want you two...
[23:29] ---
    to go to Aomori to search
    for Ms. Kirigakure.
