    EPISODE 3:
    HOMETOWN
[00:06] ---
    When winter comes...
[00:08] ---
    the mountains and the water...
[00:09] ---
    all freeze.
[00:17] ---
    When I was little...
[00:19] ---
    I made a vow to myself that I'd escape
    this place, no matter what.
[00:30] ---
    What are you looking at, Ashura?
[00:38] ---
    Damn!
[00:39] ---
    I can't stand snow!
[00:45] ---
    Aomori?
[00:47] ---
    Why Aomori?
[00:48] ---
    Ms. Kirigakure hails from Aomori Prefecture.
[00:51] ---
    The last location we were able to pick up
    from the GPS on her phone...
[00:56] ---
    was Hachinohe Station in Aomori Prefecture.
[00:58] ---
    Two days after the start of the week,
    she remains absent without leave.
[01:03] ---
    Now that we've beefed up security
    against the Illuminati,
[01:06] ---
    she may very well have been dragged
    into some kind of trouble.
[01:09] ---
    I want you two to follow Ms. Kirigakure's
    movements and track her down.
[01:15] ---
    Sure! Got it!
[01:16] ---
    She may not seem like one, but Shura's a woman,
    and we should be worried! Leave it to us!
[01:19] ---
    Do you really need both of us
    for a mission like that?
[01:22] ---
    Huh?
[01:23] ---
    I believe I could handle it
    well enough on my own.
[01:27] ---
    In fact, it'd be easier for me to make moves
    without my brother there.
[01:29] ---
    Hey! What the hell? Do you really need
    to act like I'm such a nuisance?
[01:32] ---
    Mr. Okumura...
[01:34] ---
    I couldn't care less.
[01:36] ---
    This is an order.
[01:38] ---
    Right.
[01:39] ---
    Also...
[01:41] ---
    I have heard from my agent...
[01:44] ---
    that you've been immersing yourself
    in some dangerous training lately.
[01:49] ---
    "Dangerous training"?
[01:51] ---
    Oh no. Of course it's all well and good
    for you to train.
[01:54] ---
    So long as it's not life-threatening, that is.
[01:58] ---
    Still, pushing oneself too hard
    can be toxic to the body.
[02:02] ---
    Think of this as a change of scenery.
[02:04] ---
    Now, off you go!
[03:38] OS
    LAKE TOWADA
[03:39] ---
    Wow! Look at that snow!
[03:41] ---
    It's freezing!
[03:43] ---
    According to the taxi driver, he seems
    to have let Shura off at Lake Towada.
[03:48] ---
    But where are we staying?
[03:51] ---
    - I'll look for lodgings.
    - Hey!
[03:53] ---
    That inn... The lights are on.
[03:57] ---
    Excuse me!
[03:59] ---
    Is there anyone here to help us?
[04:02] ---
    I don't know.
[04:03] ---
    Is this place safe?
[04:05] ---
    Yes, yes, I'm here.
[04:14] ---
    Are you guests, perhaps?
[04:17] ---
    Pardon me.
[04:18] ---
    Can we get a room
    for two adults tonight?
[04:21] ---
    Oh yes, there are plenty of rooms available.
[04:26] ---
    Welcome to such a remote village as this!
[04:29] ---
    Thank goodness,
    she's just a normal old lady!
[04:32] ---
    Do you have outdoor hot springs?
[04:34] ---
    Oh yes, we certainly do.
[04:36] ---
    All right!
[04:38] ---
    Rin! We're here on business, remember?
[04:40] ---
    Now, now, there's no need to hide anything.
[04:44] ---
    Folks are all free to do as they please these days.
[04:47] ---
    That kind of thing doesn't bother me at all.
[04:49] ---
    A snow-viewing bath, huh?
[04:50] ---
    Huh?
[04:52] ---
    How do you like this room?
[04:53] ---
    Hey, you can see the lake!
[04:55] ---
    And you can also reserve bath time
    for your private use.
[04:58] ---
    "Private"?
[05:00] ---
    You can bathe, just the two of you,
    without worrying about other people seeing you.
[05:04] ---
    Huh?
[05:05] ---
    Nah, I want to bathe
    in the outdoor hot spring!
[05:07] ---
    Don't you, Yukio?
[05:08] ---
    Huh? Y-Yeah.
[05:10] ---
    Is that right? Well, then,
    the third wheel will now excuse herself.
[05:14] ---
    Huh? E-Excuse me...
[05:16] ---
    Please take your time and enjoy!
[05:19] ---
    - You've got it all wrong!
    - Let's head down to the outdoor hot springs!
[05:24] ---
    Nothing beats an outdoor hot spring, huh?
[05:24] ---
    I'm exhausted.
[05:27] ---
    Want your big bro to scrub your back?
[05:29] ---
    No! I'll pass!
[05:30] ---
    Huh?
[05:32] ---
    I seriously envy you
    for being so nonchalant.
[05:35] ---
    This mission is fun for me!
[05:38] ---
    It was always my dream to go
    exterminate demons as brothers, you know!
[05:41] ---
    "The Exorcist Brothers, Rin and Yuki"!
[05:44] ---
    So cool!
[05:45] ---
    No, it's lame.
[05:47] ---
    Hey, don't be like that!
    Let's have a long overdue heart-to-heart!
[05:51] ---
    Hmm?
[05:52] ---
    What's the deal
    with this "dangerous training"?
[05:53] ---
    Wha...
[05:54] ---
    Isn't that what Mephisto said?
[05:56] ---
    What's he mean, "dangerous"?
[05:58] ---
    Are you okay?
[05:59] ---
    Uh, yeah.
[06:00] ---
    It's all good. Just some shooting practice.
[06:04] ---
    Damn that Lord Pheles,
    shooting off his mouth!
[06:04] ---
    Oh?
[06:06] ---
    Wh-What have you been up to lately, Rin?
[06:09] ---
    Me?
[06:11] ---
    Oh...
[06:12] ---
    I told Shiemi how I felt about her.
[06:16] ---
    I was in the moment.
[06:18] ---
    O-Oh?
[06:19] ---
    And what did Shiemi say?
[06:23] ---
    That we were friends.
[06:25] ---
    I wish I hadn't told her.
[06:27] ---
    I mean, things could get awkward, you know.
[06:30] ---
    Is that right?
[06:32] ---
    I always thought that Shiemi liked you.
[06:36] ---
    But she said she thought of us both as friends.
[06:41] ---
    You have no clue, do you, Rin?
[06:44] ---
    Shiemi only admires my image as a model student
    and someone who seems perfect.
[06:50] ---
    It was like that from the first day we met.
[06:53] ---
    If she were ever to discover the real me,
[06:55] ---
    far from admiring me,
    she'd probably scorn me.
[06:59] ---
    Besides...
[07:00] ---
    the one that Shiemi really has feelings for is...
[07:04] ---
    You think so?
[07:05] ---
    Well, she did say she admired you.
    But I don't think that's what she meant.
[07:10] ---
    Sorry! The heat's making me dizzy,
    so I'll be heading out now.
[07:13] ---
    Hold up!
[07:14] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[07:15] ---
    Hey...
[07:17] ---
    Do you like Shiemi, too?
[07:19] ---
    Huh?
[07:20] ---
    I just wanna make things clear!
[07:22] ---
    J-Just stop, will you?
[07:25] ---
    I'm done bathing, all right?
[07:27] ---
    I've had all that I can take!
[07:29] ---
    I'm going to make sure
    I'm asleep before Rin gets back!
[07:33] ---
    Madam!
[07:36] ---
    What's wrong, Yukio?
[07:37] ---
    You're in the way.
[07:46] ---
    Hey, you asleep?
[07:50] ---
    Listen, you...
[07:52] ---
    You really never tell me anything, do you?
[07:58] ---
    Well, there are times
    when I want to be alone, too...
[08:01] ---
    so I won't ask if you don't want me to.
[08:05] ---
    But the thing is...
[08:06] ---
    it might not seem like it, but I can tell, okay?
[08:10] ---
    That you're hiding something.
[08:12] ---
    Shiemi, too.
[08:16] ---
    So...
[08:17] ---
    just remember this, okay?
[08:20] ---
    If things ever get really rough for you,
    I want you to depend on your big bro.
[08:26] ---
    I'm worried about you, okay?
[08:31] ---
    Are you really asleep?
[08:38] ---
    Good night, Yukio.
[08:47] ---
    So sleepy.
[08:49] ---
    Today we're going to scour
    every inch of the lakeside area.
[08:52] ---
    Yes, Master.
[08:55] ---
    Yo!
[08:57] ---
    Good morning!
    I've brought you your breakfast.
[09:01] ---
    Hey, thanks for doing that
    so early in the morning.
[09:04] ---
    My pleasure. Did you sleep well last night?
[09:10] ---
    Excuse me!
[09:11] ---
    We're exorcists from the True Cross Order!
[09:13] ---
    We came here to search
    for a missing member of our order!
[09:17] ---
    We're here...
[09:17] ---
    on business...
[09:18] ---
    to look for someone!
[09:20] ---
    Have you seen this person anywhere?
[09:22] ---
    Yukio, what's going on? You're totally scary!
[09:25] ---
    Oh yes, this young woman
    did stay with us for one night.
[09:34] ---
    Hey...
[09:36] ---
    I came here because you said
    someone was snooping around.
[09:40] ---
    So...
[09:42] ---
    what kind of welcome is this, Hachiro?
[09:49] ---
    We didn't lie about that.
[09:52] ---
    Even our long-lived friends
    have been killed.
[09:55] ---
    We're sure it was those Illuminati people
    you told us about.
[09:59] ---
    Then, you need a bodyguard
    more than ever.
[10:02] ---
    Those people are dangerous.
[10:05] ---
    I'll get rid of them for you.
[10:10] ---
    No need for us to ask that of you.
[10:14] ---
    We think you already
    have a good idea...
[10:17] ---
    about the true reason
    we summoned you here, don't you?
[10:25] ---
    You must fulfill your promise to us.
[10:33] ---
    Did she tell you where she was going?
[10:35] ---
    No, but...
[10:38] ---
    Oh, I guess you'd call it a "homecoming."
[10:42] ---
    What are you looking up?
[10:43] ---
    Shura's records.
[10:45] ---
    She's from Towada City
    in Aomori Prefecture.
[10:47] OS
    PROFILE
    BIRTHPLACE: TOWADA CITY,
    AOMORI PREFECTURE (PRESUMED)
    SHE WAS RESCUED BY KNIGHTS
    AT AGE 9 (PRESUMED) WHEN "THE
    BABA YOGA INCIDENT" OCCURRED THERE
[10:48] ---
    After the Baba Yaga Incident that occurred here...
[10:51] ---
    she was taken in by the Order at age nine.
[10:53] ---
    "Baba Yaga Incident"...
[10:54] ---
    After all the years you've spent with Shura,
    even you don't know much about her, huh?
[10:58] ---
    We may have known
    each other for a long time...
[11:00] ---
    but all she did was torment me
    ever since I was a kid.
[11:04] ---
    I've been seeing her almost every day,
[11:06] ---
    and I still don't know
    a thing about Shura.
[11:11] ---
    You must bear a child right now.
[11:14] ---
    Time isn't on your side anymore.
[11:16] ---
    And we're running out of patience.
[11:18] ---
    I won't do it.
[11:19] ---
    It's a blood pact.
[11:22] ---
    I couldn't give a damn about that.
[11:24] ---
    And since you're a shut-in, I've come running
    every time you needed me, haven't I?
[11:30] ---
    Then, we have no choice.
[11:32] ---
    We're taking your Fang from you.
[11:35] ---
    For you, that is more terrifying than death!
[11:39] ---
    Do whatever you want.
[11:40] ---
    Why?
[11:42] ---
    You were so enthralled with it!
[11:44] ---
    Who knows?
[11:46] ---
    I just don't care anymore.
[11:49] ---
    Don't tell us...
[11:51] ---
    Is it because of that man?
[11:54] ---
    So, is it because he's gone
    that you no longer care about anything?
[12:00] ---
    Unforgivable!
[12:03] ---
    You yearned for the Fang so much...
[12:04] ---
    you threw yourself on our mercy!
    We will remind you of your childhood!
[12:08] ---
    Hah! I had a feeling
    it would take a turn like this.
[12:11] ---
    I'm going to see if you can be pierced
    by your own Fang!
[12:19] ---
    Devour the Eight Princesses.
[12:24] ---
    The Serpent Never Dies!
[12:26] ---
    Spiral Serpent Fang!
[12:35] ---
    Hey...
[12:37] ---
    Why didn't you draw it?
[12:39] ---
    Right back at you.
[12:42] ---
    You went easy on me, dammit.
[12:44] ---
    It hurts like hell, you know.
[12:49] ---
    You really don't care if you die?
[12:55] ---
    Humans are on their way here?
[12:56] ---
    Good timing.
[12:58] ---
    Let them rescue you.
[13:01] ---
    We're not going to let you die just yet.
[13:04] OS
    TOWADA SHRINE
[13:06] ---
    Eighteen years ago...
[13:08] ---
    the Knights of the True Cross
    received a request...
[13:10] ---
    to exorcise the witch who'd been laying waste
    to the Lake Towada area, the Baba Yaga.
[13:14] ---
    And this Baba Yaga had been using
    the Towada Shrine as her base.
[13:19] ---
    Apparently, Shura was rescued
    from captivity here.
[13:23] ---
    It says that Shiro Fujimoto
    resolved the matter on his own.
[13:26] ---
    Shura told me once that she'd been rescued
    by the old man and became his apprentice.
[13:32] ---
    Huh? What's the matter?
[13:35] ---
    There's something dangerous up there!
[13:38] ---
    Here?
[13:39] ---
    Since this is enemy territory,
    I can't really tell!
[13:42] ---
    We should've armed ourselves better!
[13:44] ---
    Yukio!
[13:46] ---
    Shura!
[13:54] ---
    Shura!
[13:55] ---
    Have you come to?
[13:57] ---
    You guys, what are you doing—
[13:59] OS
    THE
    FIVE-COLORED
    CLOUDS
[14:00] ---
    Please stay in bed for now.
[14:02] ---
    You were bleeding profusely
    until just a moment ago.
[14:04] ---
    Although your wound
    is rather shallow for that.
[14:07] ---
    I must be healing quickly
    because Hachiro's nearby.
[14:11] ---
    What happened?
[14:12] ---
    Damn that Mephisto,
    butting in where he's not wanted!
[14:18] ---
    I'm going to die soon.
[14:20] ---
    What are you talking about?
[14:23] ---
    Just what I said.
[14:24] ---
    I'm sort of in a pact.
[14:27] ---
    With the Dragon God,
    Hachirotaro Okami...
[14:30] ---
    who rules over the Towada area.
[14:33] ---
    Hachirotaro?
[14:34] ---
    From the Legend of the Three Lakes?
[14:36] ---
    That's my timid little Four-Eyes.
    I'm impressed that you know of him.
[14:40] ---
    I thought he was actually defeated
    over a thousand years ago by a monk.
[14:45] ---
    No, he's been sealed inside Lake Towada.
[14:48] ---
    Hachiro's an extremely high-level Hydra.
[14:51] ---
    It may not be as potent
    as before he was sealed,
[14:53] ---
    but he still has formidable magic power
    and nearly immortal regenerative skills.
[14:59] ---
    Then...
[15:00] ---
    Right.
[15:01] ---
    The Illuminati might already be after him.
[15:05] ---
    The reason I'm here is...
[15:07] ---
    because Hachiro was told that some outsiders
    were snooping around his territory.
[15:11] ---
    Ask the Order to watch over Hachiro.
[15:14] ---
    I wanted to keep this a secret, but
    now that it's come to this, I have no choice.
[15:17] ---
    But why?
[15:18] ---
    Never mind that!
    Why did you make a lethal pact with him?
[15:22] ---
    I wasn't the one he made the pact with.
[15:24] ---
    Wha...
[15:25] ---
    It was an ancestor of mine.
[15:27] ---
    She sold the lives of her descendants
    in exchange for the power of a demon sword.
[15:33] ---
    Her name was...
[15:35] ---
    Tatsuko Kirigakure.
[15:38] ---
    She left her hometown
    so that she could start her own school.
[15:43] ---
    But the Iga ninjas never allowed anyone to escape
    as in "punish all escaped ninjas."
[15:48] ---
    Here in this northern region,
    where she managed to flee, barely alive...
[15:52] ---
    Tatsuko met Hachiro.
[15:55] ---
    Damn! Just when I thought
    I'd escaped my pursuers...
[15:59] ---
    now I'm up against an evil spirit?
[16:04] ---
    To Hachiro, who was bored with eternal life...
[16:07] ---
    crossing swords with Tatsuko...
[16:10] ---
    must've seemed like just a way to kill time.
[16:18] ---
    What unbelievable power!
[16:20] ---
    So, this is...
[16:21] ---
    the power of an evil spirit?
[16:25] ---
    Not yet!
[16:27] ---
    I don't wanna die just yet!
[16:29] ---
    I wanna become stronger
    and make everyone who laughed at me sorry!
[16:36] ---
    What a beautiful woman you are.
[16:39] ---
    It would be a shame to kill you.
[16:42] ---
    Drink.
[16:43] ---
    Your wound will heal faster
    if you drink our blood.
[16:49] ---
    My wound...
[16:51] ---
    What exactly do you want with me?
[16:54] ---
    Do you want our power?
[16:58] ---
    This Fang can summon our supernatural power
    to freeze the wind and water.
[17:05] ---
    When you desire a stronger Fang...
[17:08] ---
    I'll add some by letting it
    feed on your beautiful hair and nails.
[17:14] ---
    Ah...
[17:16] ---
    If I have this Fang, normal humans
    wouldn't stand a chance against me.
[17:21] ---
    I want it!
[17:22] ---
    Then, stay by our side forever and ever.
[17:26] ---
    And stay young and beautiful.
[17:31] ---
    Th-That's not possible.
    Humans grow old and die.
[17:34] ---
    Bear a child.
[17:36] ---
    When that child grows up,
    she will bear a child,
[17:38] ---
    and when that child grows up,
    she, too, will bear another,
[17:41] ---
    and once all those lives have been connected,
    you can stay young forever.
[17:46] ---
    The time limit will be 30 years of age.
    Bear a child before you die.
[17:50] ---
    We don't want to see you grow old weak.
[17:54] ---
    Spirit...
[17:57] ---
    All right!
[17:58] ---
    I'll serve you forever and ever!
[18:00] ---
    Then, please sign the contract.
[18:13] ---
    You belong to us.
[18:18] ---
    After receiving her demon sword, Tatsuko,
    wishing to perfect the Kirigakure Style,
[18:23] ---
    lived with Hachiro, but after bearing a child,
    she died at 30, when she reached the time limit.
[18:28] ---
    Perhaps due to Hachiro's curse,
    the next child, as well as the next,
[18:32] ---
    looked exactly like Tatsuko without fail,
    and all died at age 30.
[18:38] ---
    I'm her descendant.
[18:40] ---
    I'm going to die at age 30, too.
[18:43] ---
    In other words, you only have
    three years left to live?
[18:46] ---
    Nope! I'm still only 18, you know!
    So, I have another 12 years—
[18:50] ---
    Stop joking around!
[18:51] ---
    Anyway, let's take out Hachiro!
[18:53] ---
    We'll help out, too!
[18:54] ---
    Didn't I tell you that he's immortal?
[18:57] ---
    Not to mention, this is a magical pact
    and it's been carved into my body.
[19:02] ---
    So, even if Hachiro is killed,
    the pact will still survive.
[19:06] ---
    Th-Then, why don't we get some dirt on him
    or use threats or beg or something?
[19:10] ---
    There is no dirt.
[19:12] ---
    What Hachiro fears the most is me aging
    and me dying without bearing him a child.
[19:18] ---
    No way is he ever going to invalidate the pact.
[19:20] ---
    It wouldn't even make a good threat.
[19:23] ---
    Well, just to resist,
    I'm going to die without making a baby!
[19:26] ---
    Don't give up on it!
[19:28] ---
    Yukio, don't you have any good ideas?
[19:31] ---
    Rin, it's all right.
[19:33] ---
    I've always known it was coming,
    so I'm all right with it.
[19:36] ---
    Since I knew I couldn't live a long life...
[19:39] ---
    I've made sure
    I never had anything to cherish...
[19:42] ---
    or lingering regrets about anything.
[19:45] ---
    So, don't give it another thought, you two.
[19:48] ---
    Oh man, my time just might've come.
    Hey, let the Order know that I'm resign—
[19:53] ---
    Rin!
[19:54] ---
    Are you saying...
[19:56] ---
    that you don't have anything
    to cherish or any regrets?
[19:59] ---
    "Don't give it another thought"?
    You really think we can do that?
[20:04] ---
    Don't ever talk like that!
[20:06] ---
    And besides, you promised me, remember?
[20:08] ---
    You told me to become
    the most powerful exorcist of all...
[20:10] ---
    and prove that the old man was right!
[20:12] ---
    Rin!
[20:12] ---
    I haven't proved it yet!
[20:17] ---
    I think you've already proved it more or less!
[20:20] ---
    Huh?
[20:21] ---
    Rin, that's enough! Shura's injured!
[20:23] ---
    No, the wound itself has healed.
[20:26] ---
    What?
[20:27] ---
    There's no trace of it!
[20:29] ---
    So, this is Hachirotaro's regenerative power?
[20:32] ---
    It's not as potent as Rin's.
[20:34] ---
    The closer I am to Hachiro,
    the stronger it becomes.
[20:36] ---
    Report everything to Mephisto.
[20:39] ---
    Right!
[20:39] ---
    Go home now. There's nothing
    either of you can do.
[20:42] ---
    There she goes again—
[20:44] ---
    Please get some rest for now.
[20:46] ---
    I'm not giving up, all right?
[20:48] ---
    I need you to stay alive
    until I become a Paladin!
[20:51] ---
    Rin!
[20:52] ---
    Or I'll be in big trouble!
[20:58] ---
    Rin is one kindhearted guy.
[21:01] ---
    Shiro...
[21:03] ---
    To think that you raised a kid like that...
[21:06] ---
    He'll be fine even after I'm gone.
[21:10] ---
    But...
[21:12] ---
    Yukio is the one...
[21:14] ---
    who worries me a little...
[21:16] ---
    I guess...
[21:25] ---
    Dammit! At this rate, Shura...
    What are we supposed to do?
[21:26] ---
    Yes. Then, we'll be counting on you.
[21:29] ---
    I just contacted Lord Pheles.
[21:31] ---
    Our backup will arrive late at night.
[21:33] ---
    Did Mephisto say anything about Shura?
[21:36] ---
    Lord Pheles said, "You of all people
    should know what to do."
[21:41] ---
    Damn him!
[21:43] ---
    Since this pact was made by the demon,
    Hachiro, from a dominant position,
[21:48] ---
    our only hope is to have Hachiro
    cancel it himself.
[21:51] ---
    He has overwhelming
    physical regeneration skills.
[21:55] ---
    Yukio!
[21:56] ---
    It's that presence I sensed at the shrine!
[21:58] ---
    It's here!
[22:02] ---
    Shura?
[23:34] OS
    NEXT TIME
    GOODBYE TO YOU
