EPISODE 2:
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.

*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.*

**[04:56] ---**
*Come on!*
**[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!
**[05:40] ---**
Suguro...
**[05:41] ---**
Wanna go to Pon-chan's now?
**[05:43] ---**
There's no cram school today,
so we're going to study for the exams.
**[05:46] ---**
While picking at monja!

*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!

"That day, Joshua went to Shechem..."
**[06:09] ---**
Huh? What's this "Shechem"?
**[06:12] ---**
What could it be? I need to hit the books.
I haven't been making much headway lately.
**[06:17] ---**
Oh man! It'd be so convenient
to have Bon around at a time like this!

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!
**[06:28] ---**
You're still going on about that? Give it up!

**[06:34] ---**
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] ---**
If you identify a demon
by recording it with your smartphone...
**[07:03] OS**
SEARCHING...
**[07:04] OS**
LITTLE DEVIL
**[07:04] ---**
you can then instantly look up its weak points
and Death Verses... or something like that.
**[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!*

Morning, Mother!
**[11:08] ---**
Are you leaving already?
**[11:09] ---**
Well, my suppliers are quarreling.
**[11:12] ---**
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.
**[11:19] ---**
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!
**[12:14] ---**
*Even still...*
**[12:16] ---**
*this girl has zero feelings for me.*

We were at a loss since we've been
so short-staffed! Thanks for coming!

**[12:49] ---**
I'll be back later!
**[12:52] ---**
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?
**[14:12] ---**
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.
**[14:49] ---**
We've got to call for help right away!
Where's your cell phone, Rin?
**[14:53] OS**
NO SERVICE
**[14:55] ---**
No service.
**[14:58] ---**
We fell pretty far down, didn't we?
**[15:04] ---**
Hold up! I can pull this thing out,
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.
**[15:16] ---**
Hey! Somebody help us!
**[15:21] ---**
Hey!
**[15:25] ---**
Hey!
**[15:28] ---**
Hey!
**[15:35] ---**
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.
**[23:34] OS**
