    EPISODE 6:
    I CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE
[01:32] ---
    The Kamiki family was split off
    from the Inami family, who was descended...

[01:36] ---
    from the Shinshi messengers
    of Uka-no Mitama-no-kami's...

[01:39] ---
    and lived quietly in a shrine
    close to the Inari Taisha Shrine.

[01:44] ---
    That was where Izumo Kamiki was born.
[01:48] ---
    Her mother...
[01:49] ---
    was the Kamiki family's
    64th Head Priestess...

[01:52] ---
    Tamamo Kamiki.
[01:58] ---
    Help me, Izumo!
[02:02] ---
    Everyone's so cold to me!
[02:07] ---
    Don't you think it's horrible of everyone
    to talk about me like I'm the only one at fault?
[02:12] ---
    What do you expect? You're the one
    who's acting so unseemly.
[02:16] ---
    That's not true!
[02:17] ---
    Soji and I are in love!
    I have nothing to be ashamed of!
[02:21] ---
    Jeez! Would you stop for five seconds?
[02:23] ---
    A normal mother wouldn't beg
    her daughter for help!
[02:27] ---
    Why not? You're so cold!
[02:29] ---
    You're my daughter, Izumo,
    so why wouldn't you help me?
[02:33] ---
    And besides, Soji's your father!
    So, take this seriously, will you?
[02:38] ---
    Hah! A father who's never come by to see us.
    We might as well not have one!
[02:43] ---
    Your father just happens to be busy
    with his work, that's all!
[02:46] ---
    Someday, we're going to be together as a family,
    and I'm going to be his lovely wife! You'll see!
[02:50] ---
    Here.
[02:51] ---
    I have your breakfast, Tama.
[02:53] ---
    Thanks, Uke!
[02:54] ---
    Tamamo, I hung the laundry.
[02:57] ---
    Thanks, Mike!
[02:58] ---
    Lovely wife, my foot! Look at you,
    leaving all the housework to the foxes!
[03:02] ---
    Well, what's wrong with that?
[03:04] ---
    That's another one of my skills!
[03:06] ---
    Right, everyone?
[03:08] ---
    Tamamo's adorable,
    so we can't help ourselves.
[03:10] ---
    It's your fault for spoiling her rotten!
[03:14] ---
    That's right. As you can see,
    Tamamo was an unreliable, lazy woman.

[03:15] ---
    Anyway, why don't you hurry up and eat?
[03:17] ---
    We have morning service!
[03:19] ---
    All right!
[03:20] ---
    But as Head Priestess,
    her divine powers were formidable.

[03:32] ---
    The duty of the Kamiki family
    was to appease the demons.

[03:37] ---
    The Killing Stone...
[03:39] ---
    A magic stone that could kill anyone
    who went near it and revive the dead.

[03:44] ---
    The Killing Stone contains the Nine-tailed Fox,
    which had been exterminated by the onmyojis.

[03:54] ---
    The Kamiki bloodline...
[03:57] ---
    was created by said onmyojis
    in order to appease Nine Tails' curse.

[04:02] ---
    For generations, those destined to become
    Head Priestess were all named "Tamamo"...

[04:06] ---
    and by performing a sacred dance
    called "Divine Summoning"...

[04:09] ---
    in which she would become and assimilate
    with Nine Tails, she would appease the spirit.

[04:14] ---
    More than any Head Priestess before her,
[04:16] ---
    the current Tamamo's dancing
    was both stronger...

[04:18] ---
    and more beautiful.
[04:22] ---
    All right, I have a job outside the shrine today,
    so take Tsukumo to the shrine office, will you?
[04:30] ---
    I'm going to miss you so much!
    My treasures!
[04:33] ---
    H-Hey, cut it out!
[04:36] ---
    Though Tamamo was a perplexing woman
    who was hard to hate...

[04:40] ---
    as the illegitimate children of the main family's
    Head Priestess and Soji Inami...

[04:44] ---
    it was a most complicated position
    that Izumo and Tsukumo grew up in.

[04:51] ---
    Please take care of Tsukumo.
[04:53] ---
    Yes. Please come in.
[04:55] ---
    Go on, Tsukumo.
[04:57] ---
    What's the matter, Tsukumo?
[04:59] ---
    On top of that...
[05:00] ---
    I don't wanna!
[05:00] ---
    as the children of the Kamikis,
    who handled the Killing Stone,

[05:04] ---
    You'll be fine!
[05:04] ---
    there were those who didn't hide
    their displeasure or who ridiculed them.

[05:06] ---
    Take out that charm Big Sis gave you.
[05:11] ---
    As long as you have this, you'll never be alone,
    Tsukumo! You're invincible!
[05:15] ---
    All right, put it away now.
[05:17] ---
    I'll be back for you
    as soon as school lets out, okay?
[05:20] ---
    Okay.
[05:21] ---
    CLOUD
[05:24] ---
    I just hope that Tsukumo
    is not being treated callously.
[05:28] ---
    I've got my siblings
    watching over her, so don't worry.
[05:32] ---
    But you know what?
[05:34] ---
    Could you go check on her, too?
[05:36] ---
    I guess there's no way around it.
[05:41] ---
    Look! Izumo's talking to herself again.
[05:44] ---
    So scary!
[05:47] ---
    Izumo was always isolated
    from the others.

[05:53] ---
    You can do it! Come on!
[05:56] ---
    There! Good job!
[06:05] ---
    There's nothing I can do.
[06:07] ---
    I can't rely on anyone.
[06:15] ---
    I have to be strong!
[06:18] ---
    INARI TAISHA SHRINE
[06:19] ---
    You blundering fool!
[06:20] ---
    Don't tell me you were mimicking Tamamo's
    Divine Summoning! That was nothing like it!
[06:24] ---
    Y-You're wrong!
[06:26] ---
    I just thought I should learn it...
    a-as soon as possible!
[06:30] ---
    MIKE
[06:30] ---
    MIKE
[06:30] ---
    UKE
[06:31] ---
    Even if you learn Divine Summoning
    and even if you succeed Tamamo,
[06:33] ---
    we will never become your servants,
    no matter what!
[06:36] ---
    - Yeah, because she's not sweet at all.
    - That's right. Not sweet at all.
[06:39] ---
    How can you measure someone
    by how sweet they are?
[06:44] ---
    Just what I expected of Inari Taisha Shrine!
[06:46] ---
    It's teeming with foxes!
[06:49] ---
    Nice to meet you, little Izumo Kamiki.
[06:59] ---
    Dr. Gedoin, allow me.
[07:01] ---
    Tsk!
[07:04] ---
    Sorry to show up so unexpectedly.
[07:06] ---
    We're researchers from the Illuminati,
    a cutting-edge demon research organization.
[07:11] ---
    Demon? Illumi...
[07:14] ---
    Yes.
[07:15] ---
    We refer to what ordinary people can't see,
    like those foxes there, as "demons."
[07:21] ---
    Y-You can see these guys?
[07:21] ---
    Wh-Who are you calling a "demon"?
[07:24] ---
    Yes. You see, we came here today to ask
    about the Killing Stone you keep at your house.
[07:32] ---
    We, the Illuminati, are working to bridge
    the gap between humans and demons.
[07:38] ---
    If we can extract Nine Tails' power
    from the Killing Stone,
[07:41] ---
    we're sure to see a world in which demons
    and humans can all live in harmony.
[07:45] ---
    If you don't mind,
    could you tell us a little about it?
[07:48] ---
    What's up with that? It sounds shady!
[07:51] ---
    In the first place, the Killing Stone can only
    be touched by members of the Kamiki family.
[07:56] ---
    Extract Nine Tails' power? Unbelievable!
[07:59] ---
    Tsk!
[08:00] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:01] ---
    Wait! It doesn't have to be right now.
[08:04] ---
    Contact me if you're ever in trouble.
[08:07] ---
    I had a hard time as a child, too,
    because I could see demons...
[08:10] ---
    so I might be able
    to at least give you some advice.
[08:22] ---
    I'm home!
[08:24] ---
    Mom, some weird people just showed up—
[08:27] ---
    Oh, Izumo!
[08:29] ---
    I've got a date with Soji for the first time
    in forever! Look after Tsukumo, okay?
[08:34] ---
    Have a nice—
[08:35] ---
    Mmm! My treasures! I'm off!
[08:41] ---
    And that is how they began
    to worm their way into this land...

[08:44] ---
    inch by inch.
[08:46] ---
    I've got to be strong.
[08:49] ---
    The Inari Tourism and Urbanization Project?
[08:53] ---
    Right. This organization
    called the "Inari Light Foundation"...
[08:56] ---
    is going to turn the shrine area
    into a tourist destination.
[08:59] ---
    If it happens, there'll be
    a surge in worshippers.
[09:02] ---
    Well, I'm not sure what it all means,
    but if you're happy, then I'm happy!
[09:10] ---
    Listen, Soji...
[09:11] ---
    Huh?
[09:12] ---
    Why don't you come visit us
    at home sometime?
[09:15] ---
    The children
    are looking forward to it, too.
[09:19] ---
    About that, Tamamo...
[09:21] ---
    Yes, Soji?
[09:23] ---
    I wish you'd stop asking me
    to meet the children.
[09:28] ---
    I don't want to meet the children.
[09:30] ---
    I do like you,
    but if you keep pestering me...
[09:35] ---
    I won't want to see you
    anymore, either.
[09:40] ---
    From that moment on, it seemed to me
    that Tamamo began to grow a bit unhinged.

[09:47] ---
    Tamamo...
[09:52] ---
    Tama, you should take a break.
[09:54] ---
    That's right! You can't perform
    Divine Summoning in that state of mind!
[09:58] ---
    Or Nine Tails will take advantage of you!
[10:02] ---
    I'm fine.
[10:05] ---
    Tamamo began to neglect her duties.
[10:08] ---
    Mom! You're going out
    way too much these days!
[10:11] ---
    Even Tsukumo is sad—
[10:13] ---
    Shut up!
[10:14] ---
    You two are the ones to blame!
[10:21] ---
    Big Sis, when's Tama coming home?
[10:24] ---
    After she's done with her work.
[10:26] ---
    She says she's busy right now.
[10:28] ---
    Hmm...
[10:30] ---
    INARI TAISHA SHRINE
[10:35] ---
    Um... Did something happen?
[10:40] ---
    Everyone in the Inami family
    just collapsed all of a sudden.
[10:44] ---
    And yet the Head Priest is with Lady Tamamo,
    refusing to leave his quarters!
[10:50] ---
    That mother of yours is a piece of work!
[10:54] ---
    Big Sis?
[10:58] ---
    Let's go.
[11:08] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[11:13] ---
    My beloved... My beloved...
[11:16] ---
    My beloved...
[11:18] ---
    My Soji...
[11:25] ---
    Lady Tamamo!
    Have you been possessed by a demon?
[12:11] ---
    Blood?
[12:22] ---
    Mom?
[12:29] ---
    Izumo...
[12:31] ---
    Are you planning to thwart me again?
[12:35] ---
    All of this...
[12:38] ---
    All of this...
[12:41] ---
    It's all your fault!
[12:43] ---
    It's because of you two
    that Soji started to grow cold toward me!
[12:49] ---
    Having you was a mistake!
[12:57] ---
    S-Stop!
[13:01] ---
    Dammit, Tamamo!
[13:02] ---
    Tell me this isn't happening!
[13:03] ---
    Uke! Mike!
[13:06] ---
    Tama's too far gone now!
[13:07] ---
    She's been completely assimilated
    into Nine Tails! Run!
[13:11] ---
    Mike!
[13:24] ---
    Mom...
[13:26] ---
    Mom!
[13:28] ---
    Mom!
[13:36] ---
    Hello?
[13:37] ---
    This is Izumo Kamiki.
[13:39] ---
    Oh, Izumo? What's wrong?
[13:43] ---
    My mother's been possessed
    by Nine Tails.
[13:46] ---
    What?
[13:47] ---
    Get Nine Tails out of my mother!
[13:55] ---
    Curse you, damn maggots!
[13:59] ---
    Behind the captured Tamamo...
[14:01] ---
    the Killing Stone vanished.
[14:04] ---
    That meant... Nine Tails
    had entered Tamamo's body...

[14:07] ---
    and had been resurrected.
[14:10] ---
    Apparently, Nine Tails' resurrection
    worked in the Illuminati's favor.

[14:16] ---
    Come back with us
    before the exorcists arrive.
[14:19] ---
    To the laboratory
    that opened in Inari recently.
[14:23] ---
    Exorcists?
[14:25] ---
    The Knights of the True Cross.
[14:27] ---
    If they discover your mother...
[14:28] ---
    she'll be mercilessly slaughtered.
[14:32] ---
    But don't worry.
[14:33] ---
    We, the Illuminati, will protect you all.
[14:50] ---
    But...
[14:56] ---
    But that promise was broken.
[15:02] ---
    In order to get their hands
    on Nine Tails' powers...

[15:06] ---
    they relentlessly inflicted pain
    worse than death on Tamamo.

[15:12] ---
    It was atrocious beyond anyone's imagination.
[15:17] ---
    Izumo and Tsukumo...
[15:19] ---
    were being held prisoner to serve as substitutes once
    they were no longer able to experiment on Tamamo.

[15:28] ---
    TEN DAYS AFTER
    BEING CAPTURED
[15:31] ---
    Tsukumo?
[15:35] ---
    Tsukumo!
[15:36] ---
    She's been abducted!
[15:38] ---
    No way! No way!
[15:41] ---
    Open this door! Give Tsukumo back!
[15:49] ---
    Izumo...
[15:51] ---
    I'm sorry!
[15:52] ---
    It's all my fault!
[15:54] ---
    Tsukumo's safe, all right?
    I put her up for adoption.
[15:56] ---
    What?
[15:57] ---
    They won't be able to bring her back easily,
    and she'll be protected for sure. You—
[16:02] ---
    What are you talking about?
[16:03] ---
    Give her back to me!
[16:04] ---
    Tsukumo's in danger!
[16:06] ---
    If your mother's body doesn't hold up,
    Dr. Gedoin's planning to use you two, as well!
[16:11] ---
    I heard him say he was going to experiment
    on Tsukumo tomorrow!
[16:14] ---
    I'm really sorry
    I couldn't let you say goodbye.
[16:19] ---
    I just wanted to do the right thing.
[16:23] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[16:25] ---
    I want to at least save the two of you.
[16:29] ---
    I still have something
    I need to take care of.
[16:32] ---
    But I'll be back soon.
[16:34] ---
    And then, you and I
    will escape from here!
[16:37] ---
    Just wait a little!
[16:38] ---
    Wait!
[16:39] ---
    Don't lock me in!
[16:41] ---
    I won't be able to trust what you say!
[16:45] ---
    All right, then.
[16:46] ---
    But whatever you do,
    don't leave this room until I come back.
[16:50] ---
    Trust me.
[16:58] ---
    As if I could trust you!
[17:07] ---
    I'll be the one to protect Tsukumo!
[17:13] ---
    I can't...
[17:14] ---
    take part in such inhumane research.
[17:17] ---
    Oh!
[17:19] ---
    Who would've thought
    you were such a humanist?
[17:23] ---
    Ms. Yoshida...
[17:25] ---
    Just what kind of business do you have
    with my computer at this hour?
[17:30] ---
    I wanted to check over
    some questionable items.
[17:32] ---
    Pardon me!
[17:34] ---
    Right, hold up.
[17:36] ---
    Hey, did you perhaps forget to lock
    the Kamiki Sisters' surveillance room?
[17:42] ---
    I mean, it's an autolocking door.
[17:45] ---
    I wonder how stupid you'd have to be
    to commit a blunder like that.
[17:48] ---
    Not to mention, where did you
    send her little sister?
[17:52] ---
    Hmm?
[17:54] ---
    You know, the minute I said
    I was going to experiment on her?
[17:58] ---
    When I had people look into it...
[18:00] ---
    I was told that you'd accessed a private
    adoption agency's website from your computer.
[18:05] ---
    Surely not, right?
[18:10] ---
    Don't you dare mess with me!
[18:12] ---
    Capture her!
[18:19] ---
    You damn traitor!
[18:22] ---
    I've been given full command of this laboratory...
[18:24] ---
    by Lord Lucifer himself!
[18:27] ---
    So, betraying me means...
[18:29] ---
    that you're betraying Lord Lucifer!
[18:38] ---
    Prepare some Elixir 1021.
[18:41] ---
    Uh...
[18:42] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:44] ---
    If you're lucky,
    you'll gain an immortal body.
[18:48] ---
    And if not, your central nervous system
    will be stricken upon injection.
[18:53] ---
    And slowly but surely, your
    biological tissues will become necrotic.
[19:00] ---
    If nothing else, lay the groundwork
    for my research.
[19:05] ---
    Stop it!
[19:06] ---
    Stop it! Stop!
[19:09] ---
    I won't...
[19:10] ---
    I won't ever do
    anything so foolish again!
[19:12] ---
    I swear it! So, please!
[19:14] ---
    I'll do anything!
[19:16] ---
    So, please, just not that!
[19:18] ---
    Please spare me! Just don't do that!
[19:20] ---
    All right, then kneel down before me!
[19:23] ---
    Recite the Illuminati oath to me!
[19:29] ---
    W-We...
[19:32] ---
    shall guide the world to harmony.
[19:35] ---
    We are the heroes...
[19:37] ---
    who have risen up to create one single world
    where there are no demons nor humans.
[19:42] ---
    No matter what kind of ordeal awaits us,
    we will not hesitate.
[19:47] ---
    I swear! I swear!
[19:49] ---
    I swear! I swear!
[19:51] ---
    Please spare me!
[19:55] ---
    That's right!
[19:56] ---
    Such half-baked humanism is a waste of time!
[19:59] ---
    Do you realize that now?
[20:03] ---
    Fine. On Lord Lucifer's behalf,
    I'll be happy to forgive you!
[20:13] ---
    Just kidding. I would never
    forgive you, moron.
[20:24] ---
    Now then! All right! Come on! Succeed!
[20:30] ---
    Damn!
[20:30] ---
    Too bad! Instant death, huh?
[20:34] ---
    Just as I thought, she's useless!
[20:36] ---
    Whoops. Sorry I left you hanging, Izumo!
[20:40] ---
    Listen, that mother of yours...
[20:43] ---
    is what we're using to make the Elixir...
[20:47] ---
    an immortality drug
    that regenerates human cells.
[20:51] ---
    You sisters are my stock...
[20:53] ---
    for when your mother becomes unusable.
[20:56] ---
    I know! Have you learned how to perform
    Divine Summoning from your mother?
[21:01] ---
    What's this? No answer?
[21:04] ---
    Well, I guess we can think about that later.
    There's more than one way, you know.
[21:09] ---
    I'm going to need you to inherit
    Nine Tails eventually after all!
[21:13] ---
    Nooooo!
[21:17] ---
    Are you sure that's the right attitude?
[21:19] ---
    Discovering where your little sister Tsukumo is,
    as well as bringing her back here...
[21:24] ---
    Accomplishing both would be
    child's play for us the Illuminati.
[21:27] ---
    But...
[21:29] ---
    if you agree to be obedient,
    then I'll leave Tsukumo alone for a bit.
[21:35] ---
    None of this would've happened...
[21:37] ---
    if I hadn't relied on someone else.
[21:40] ---
    You mean that?
[21:42] ---
    I'm never going to rely on anyone again...
[21:46] ---
    and I'm never going to trust anyone.
[21:53] ---
    Every last one of you...
[21:55] ---
    I'm going to kill you in your sleep!
[21:57] ---
    I'll do whatever you say.
[21:59] ---
    So, please... don't lay a hand on Tsukumo!
[23:34] ---
