EPISODE 8:
HAPPY (MERRY XMAS)
BIRTHDAY!
**[00:02] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[00:05] ---**
Angel! Well, you see, I've made
some headway in my investigation.
**[00:09] ---**
What?
**[00:10] ---**
Prior to the Blue Night, there was a facility
called "Section 13" at the Japan Branch.
**[00:15] ---**
Does that ring a bell at all?
**[00:16] ---**
Section 13?
**[00:19] ---**
First I've ever heard of it. What is it?
**[00:21] ---**
It seems like this facility might have something
to do with the founding of the Illuminati.
**[00:26] ---**
Once I've looked into it a little more,
I'll put it into writing. So, sit tight, will you?
**[00:29] ---**
All right. Watch your back.
**[00:34] ---**
Just as I suspected,
he doesn't remember a thing, huh?
**[00:37] ---**
Th-This is the Vatican Headquarters, right?
**[00:40] ---**
Did we come here to see the Paladin?
**[00:42] ---**
No. I wanted to compose myself a little.
**[00:47] ---**
So hot!
**[00:49] ---**
Where is this place?
**[00:51] ---**
The temple where Azazel
of the Grigori is enshrined.
**[00:54] ---**
Huh? The King of Spirits, Azazel,
is one of the Grigori?
**[00:58] ---**
Remember what Lord Pheles said?
**[01:00] ---**
That there were Kings who sided with humans
and gave them the knowledge to battle demons?
**[01:04] ---**
Yeah, but who would've thought
that a Baal could be a Grigori?
**[01:07] ---**
Originally, aside from the Baal, there were
also Emperors called the "Sool" in Gehenna.
**[01:12] ---**
The Emperor of Creation, Shemihaza.
**[01:14] ---**
The Emperor of Nothingness, Armumahel.
**[01:16] ---**
Azazel, who resonated with the Twin Stars.
**[01:19] ---**
After they were incarnated...
**[01:20] ---**
they interacted with humans to teach them
how to fight the demons and had their descendants...
**[01:25] ---**
the Nephilim, create the Order.
**[01:29] ---**
That's the King of Spirits, Azazel.
**[01:33] ---**
Azazel, Shemihaza and Armumahel...
**[01:37] ---**
who allied with humans rather than seeking
new bodies after their first incarnations deteriorated,
**[01:41] ---**
chose, instead, to perish organically
and return to nature.
**[01:46] ---**
Part of his physical body
still remains back there.
**[01:50] ---**
When I first met him,
he was still able to speak a little.
**[01:54] ---**
After 100 years, there should be
more of his body left.
**[01:58] ---**
The Section 13 staff...
**[02:00] ---**
may have extracted cells from here
to make clones of Azazel.
**[02:06] ---**
I wonder if Azazel was cooperative.
**[02:09] ---**
Either way, he can't move,
so I guess it's a moot point.
**[02:14] ---**
Lightning...
**[02:16] ---**
I'm going off to be by myself for a bit.
**[02:18] ---**
As for you, you can go back if you want.
**[02:20] ---**
No, I'll wait for you.
**[02:21] ---**
You will?
**[02:41] ---**
Long time no see.
**[02:43] ---**
Can you... still hear my voice?
**[02:51] ---**
Hey...
**[02:53] ---**
You're on humanity's side, right, Gramps?
**[05:10] ---**
Nee...
**[05:28] ---**
Nee.
**[05:40] ---**
So, what's everyone doing over winter break?
**[05:42] ---**
I'm not going home.
**[05:44] ---**
Yeah, I'm too busy, as well.
**[05:46] ---**
Then, maybe I'll stay, too.
**[05:48] ---**
If we're all staying, then wanna have
a study group for the Certification Exam?
**[05:51] ---**
Sounds good!
**[05:52] ---**
What? If we're going to gather anyway,
how about throwing a Christmas party?
**[05:56] ---**
Speaking of Christmas,
that's Yukio's and my birthday.
**[05:59] ---**
Huh? You two were born on Christmas Day?
**[06:02] ---**
No, on the 27th, but we usually
celebrated them together.
**[06:06] ---**
Oh yeah, I know what you mean!
**[06:09] ---**
In my case, it was already over by the time
I realized! With no birthday wishes, either!
**[06:13] ---**
Come on, mine's over, too.
**[06:15] ---**
Mine came and went
during the Shimane incident, too.
**[06:16] ---**
Birthdays...
**[06:18] ---**
Then, let's all hold
a joint Christmas-birthday party!
**[06:22] ---**
Shiemi...
**[06:23] ---**
Good morning.
**[06:24] ---**
Is it true that you're not going to take
the Exorcist Certification Exam?
**[06:27] ---**
Huh?
**[06:28] ---**
I heard that you'd submitted a form
declining to take the exam.
**[06:33] ---**
Yes. I've decided not to become an exorcist.
**[06:36] ---**
I'm going to take over Futsumaya after all.
**[06:38] ---**
Huh?
**[06:39] ---**
So, I'm planning to quit the cram school
when the exam period starts.
**[06:42] ---**
B-But just the other day, you—
**[06:44] ---**
Are you kidding me?
**[06:46] ---**
I know your mom told you
she was against it!
**[06:48] ---**
I'll talk her into it after cram school today—
**[06:52] ---**
Thank you, Ms. Kamiki!
**[06:56] ---**
But I've made up my mind.
**[06:58] ---**
But... come on...
**[07:01] ---**
Rin, sorry that I'm breaking our promise.
**[07:04] ---**
Hey, don't worry about it.
**[07:06] ---**
I'll be quitting cram school, but I'll still be
attending day school, so let's still be friends!
**[07:11] ---**
Well, of course we will, but...
**[07:13] ---**
I see.
**[07:15] ---**
- A-Anyway, about Shima's idea, I'm in!
- Huh?
**[07:19] ---**
When winter break starts,
why don't we all throw a birthday party?
**[07:22] ---**
I mean, celebrating both Christmas
and birthdays should be so much fun!
**[07:26] ---**
U-Uh, Shiemi...
**[07:28] ---**
You're joining us, too, Yuki! No matter what!
**[07:31] ---**
Huh? Uh...
**[07:32] ---**
Right.
**[07:33] ---**
Understood.
**[07:36] ---**
What's gotten into her?
**[07:38] ---**
I've never seen Shiemi act so forceful
toward you before, Yukio!
**[07:41] ---**
You're right.
**[07:43] ---**
But she doesn't seem depressed,
so maybe it's a good change for her.
**[07:48] ---**
Listen. This is something
that just crossed my mind...
**[07:53] ---**
but don't tell me...
**[07:55] ---**
She's not going to die, is she?
**[07:59] ---**
Say something, will you?
**[08:00] ---**
I had that same thought.
**[08:02] ---**
Huh? You, too, Izumo?
**[08:03] ---**
- M-Me, too, for a second.
- Even you, Bon?
**[08:06] ---**
No, it just flashed through my mind
for a second.
**[08:09] ---**
I'm pretty serious about this.
**[08:10] ---**
Because she was pretty set
on becoming an exorcist,
**[08:13] ---**
and her mom being against it
was giving her anguish.
**[08:15] ---**
But just now, her eyes looked resolute,
like she'd never back down.
**[08:18] ---**
What could possibly happen in a day
that would make her look like that?
**[08:21] ---**
You guys, let's all calm down.
**[08:23] ---**
Realistically speaking,
it's just not possible.
**[08:26] ---**
Shiemi's physicals show her
to be in excellent shape,
**[08:29] ---**
and more importantly,
what would she even die of anyway?
**[08:32] ---**
Y-Yeah, you're right!
**[08:34] ---**
You guys! Over here!
**[08:37] ---**
I know! We can save time
by asking Shiemi directly!
**[08:41] ---**
- What are you, a moron? Don't say a word!
- It's not something you should be telling Shiemi!
**[08:46] ---**
Shima and Nori helped me figure out the shopping
and how to split up into teams!
**[08:50] ---**
- The Feast Team will be Rin and Konekomaru!
- Leave it to us!
**[08:53] ---**
The Decoration Team will be Suguro and Yuki!
The Cake Team will be Ms. Kamiki and Shima!
**[08:57] ---**
Huh? Me, with him?
**[08:59] ---**
The Tree Team will be me!
**[09:00] ---**
I'll help you out a little, too!
**[09:02] ---**
A little? You're not joining us, Ms. Paku?
**[09:05] ---**
No, I have a date both today and tomorrow.
**[09:08] ---**
- Huh?
- Oh...
**[09:09] OS**
LET'S CELEBRATE
BIRTHDAYS TOGETHER!
DATE: DECEMBER 24th
TIME: 17:00
PLACE: FORMER BOYS' DORMITORY
DINING HALL
**[09:09] ---**
- With which guy, exactly?
- And this is a bit rough, since I didn't have time...
**[09:11] ---**
but I've made a party manual!
**[09:14] ---**
Hey, you're so into this! What's going on?
**[09:16] ---**
You wouldn't be dy—
**[09:17] ---**
All right, I'll be on my way.
**[09:18] ---**
See you later!
**[09:20] OS**
THE CAKE TEAM
**[09:20] ---**
This place is crazy popular.
**[09:23] ---**
You almost never get a chance to eat the cake here,
so if you want to go home, go home.
**[09:27] ---**
Oh, I'm not going home!
Since this is my chance to date you, Izumo!
**[09:32] ---**
Hah! You mean you still need
to keep me under surveillance?
**[09:35] ---**
So, you're still mad about me being a spy.
**[09:38] ---**
Why wouldn't I be? Lucky for you
that the others were so forgiving.
**[09:42] ---**
That's the truth! I was sure
it'd be game over if my cover got blown...
**[09:46] ---**
but I have to say I'm feeling really off!
**[09:49] ---**
You're right about that.
**[09:51] ---**
I never thought I'd end up like this, either.
**[09:54] ---**
Lining up for a cake
or worrying about Shiemi Moriyama...
**[09:58] ---**
But you're already different from me, Izumo.
**[10:03] ---**
I wouldn't say that.
**[10:05] ---**
At the end of the day,
you're just like me.
**[10:07] ---**
Huh?
**[10:08] ---**
Even though you do like those guys.
**[10:13] ---**
And yet, you're such a dummy.
**[10:15] ---**
There's going to be a lot of tough times ahead.
**[10:17] ---**
So, you really should watch your back.
**[10:19] ---**
There you go again, talking like that!
**[10:21] ---**
If it comes to it,
you're going to rescue me, aren't you?
**[10:23] ---**
I don't know about those pushovers...
**[10:26] ---**
but the next time you become my enemy,
no way am I going to show you any mercy!
**[10:30] ---**
Oh, so scary!
**[10:31] ---**
Do you have to be so blunt?
**[10:34] ---**
Be gentle with me!
**[10:40] ---**
*She sure is adorable!*
**[10:42] OS**
THE DECORATION TEAM
**[10:42] OS**
CHRISTMAS
**[10:43] ---**
So cheap!
**[10:45] ---**
I don't have the good taste
to pick out these kinds of things.
**[10:47] ---**
I'm going to leave it to you.
**[10:48] ---**
If you're too busy right now,
I'll take care of it.
**[10:52] ---**
After all, you're still injured.
**[10:53] ---**
No, I can still use my hands.
**[10:55] ---**
Anyway, you seem really busy
these days yourself, Suguro.
**[10:59] ---**
I hear that Lightning
has been taking you all over the place.
**[11:03] ---**
It must be tough for you.
**[11:05] ---**
No.
**[11:06] ---**
I'm going along with him
because I want to.
**[11:23] ---**
*Shiro?*
**[11:27] ---**
*Shiro Fujimoto?*
**[11:29] ---**
*Of course, I can at least recognize
the former Paladin's face!*
**[11:32] ---**
*He's young, but there's no question!*
**[11:34] ---**
*Shiro Fujimoto was an Azazel clone!*
**[11:38] ---**
*Wh-What's going on here?*
**[11:43] ---**
*The page jumps from Shiro
all the way to Rokuro .*
**[11:57] ---**
*The experiment logs for Goro or 005
are the only ones missing!*
**[12:00] ---**
*There's nothing missing
from any of the other clones' records!*
**[12:04] ---**
*What does this mean?*
**[12:05] ---**
What are you doing?
**[12:07] OS**
SECTION 13
CLONE REINFORCEMENT
HUMAN EXPERIMENT LOG
**[12:07] ---**
I'm pretty sure this Goro is Satan!
**[12:10] ---**
But all of the documents have been removed!
**[12:13] ---**
Oh?
**[12:15] ---**
Satan is a clone of Azazel!
**[12:18] ---**
Meaning that the Okumura Brothers have
the blood of Azazel's Nephilim in their veins!
**[12:22] ---**
And on top of that, Assiah and Gehenna...
**[12:25] ---**
this world is...
**[12:27] ---**
Ryuji...
**[12:29] ---**
- You should rest a bit.
- Huh?
**[12:31] ---**
Just leave the rest to me.
**[12:34] ---**
Hey, just a minute!
**[12:35] ---**
Whoa!
**[12:36] ---**
Ever since you got back, you've done nothing
but sleep, eat, sleep and sleep some more!
**[12:39] ---**
At least, try to figure this out!
**[12:41] ---**
Whenever I can't figure something out,
I always go to sleep.
**[12:44] ---**
So, I'll be sleeping for a while.
**[12:47] ---**
Then, tomorrow I've got a Christmas party
with my cram school friends to go to.
**[12:51] ---**
Is it okay for me to go?
**[12:53] ---**
Sounds good! Go right ahead!
**[12:56] ---**
Listen, even if I do order you to do something,
you don't necessarily have to obey me.
**[13:01] ---**
What?
**[13:02] ---**
Meaning, it's important to be flaky, too.
**[13:04] ---**
Facing something like that head-on
will drive you crazy.
**[13:10] ---**
Understood.
**[13:13] ---**
Then, I'll be taking tomorrow off.
**[13:15] ---**
Good night!
**[13:17] OS**
WINTER BREAK BEGINS
**[13:20] ---**
I have a tree for us!
**[13:22] ---**
Whoa!
**[13:23] ---**
Wait, but the bottom part
is Nee!
**[13:25] ---**
It's the real thing!
**[13:26] ---**
Nee!
**[13:27] ---**
You're quite talented, Suguro.
**[13:29] ---**
When we were little,
we often had to make stuff like this, too.
**[13:33] ---**
Brings back memories.
**[13:36] ---**
Both my brother and I were awful at it,
**[13:38] ---**
so we'd end up making
the most outlandish things,
**[13:40] ---**
but our father was unfazed
and would still put them up.
**[13:42] ---**
"Quantity over quality," he'd say.
**[13:45] ---**
So, we never got any better at it.
**[13:51] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[13:52] ---**
Huh?
**[13:53] ---**
N-No! I was just thinking,
what a nice story!
**[13:56] ---**
I'm going to put these decorations
on the tree, okay?
**[14:00] ---**
*Dad...*
**[14:02] ---**
*Dad!*
**[14:03] ---**
*Where are our real parents?*
**[14:07] ---**
*I see. So, this day has finally come, huh?*
**[14:13] ---**
*Hmm...*
**[14:15] ---**
*On December 27th, a cold morning...
I picked you two up under a bridge.*
**[14:21] ---**
*So, I don't know who your real parents are.*
**[14:24] ---**
*But...*
**[14:25] ---**
*Since I'm the one who took you in,
don't you worry about a thing!*
**[14:28] ---**
*When you're done eating,
brush your teeth and go to bed.*
**[14:32] ---**
*He's lying!*
**[14:34] ---**
*Dad's got to know for sure!*
**[14:36] ---**
*Why would he hide it?*
**[14:38] ---**
*If Dad says he doesn't know,
then he doesn't know.*
**[14:41] ---**
*What?*
**[14:42] ---**
*I don't need to know.*
**[14:45] ---**
*Why not?*
**[14:47] ---**
*Rin, you don't want to know...*
**[14:54] ---**
*I...*
**[14:56] ---**
*do want to know.*
**[15:07] OS**
SHIEMI MORIYAMA
**[15:08] ---**
Hey, I'm the first one here!
**[15:10] ---**
Thanks, Nee!
**[15:13] ---**
I'm going to give you
some water now, okay?
**[15:17] ---**
Huh?
**[15:31] ---**
Look out!
**[15:35] ---**
Shiemi!
**[15:35] ---**
- What's going on?
- A fire?
**[15:39] ---**
Where's the cake?
**[15:40] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[15:46] ---**
Hey! Izumo!
**[15:53] ---**
Nee...
**[15:55] ---**
is a living creature...
**[15:58] ---**
so of course he'd roll over in his sleep.
**[16:02] ---**
Nee is—
**[16:07] ---**
Unbelievable! In an instant...
in an instant, it all vanished!
**[16:12] ---**
How could this... How...
**[16:16] ---**
Jeez, guys are just...
**[16:17] ---**
Anyway, there are too many reindeer here!
**[16:18] ---**
Are you all right?
**[16:21] ---**
Yes!
**[16:22] ---**
Whatever! Let's have
the food that survived!
**[16:24] ---**
*A hot pot party, right?*
**[16:27] ---**
Happy Merry Christmas Birthday to we!
**[16:30] ---**
Shouldn't it be "to all"?
**[16:51] OS**
JU-BRO

SLIDE TO ANSWER
**[16:51] ---**
Ugh!
**[16:53] ---**
Actually, I... I'm expecting
a child with Mamushi.
**[16:56] ---**
For real? Congrats!
**[16:58] ---**
Congratulations!
**[17:00] ---**
Hey, guys!
**[17:01] ---**
Nori!
**[17:03] ---**
Who the hell's that guy!
**[17:04] OS**
TRUE CROSS ACADEMY BOYS' DORMITORY
**[17:05] ---**
Okay, see you later!
**[17:06] ---**
Good night!
**[17:08] ---**
Hey! I almost forgot!
**[17:09] ---**
I have presents for you all!
**[17:12] ---**
I just picked them yesterday,
so they're still fresh!
**[17:15] ---**
Four-leaf clovers! Charms!
**[17:17] ---**
I figured that they'd come in handy!
**[17:20] ---**
Good luck on your exams, guys!
**[17:22] ---**
What is this?
**[17:23] ---**
Huh?
**[17:24] ---**
Is this your final farewell?
**[17:26] ---**
What?
**[17:27] ---**
After insisting that you wanted
to become an exorcist...
**[17:31] ---**
you gonna die?
**[17:33] ---**
N-No, I'm not gonna die!
**[17:36] ---**
Sorry I couldn't tell you why.
**[17:38] ---**
But I'm not going to die or disappear.
**[17:41] ---**
I'll be right here, okay?
**[17:43] ---**
Even if I can't fight with you all,
I'm going to support you from Futsumaya!
**[17:51] ---**
I'm super worried about Shiemi!
**[17:53] ---**
But that was fun!
**[17:55] ---**
I'm exhausted.
**[17:57] ---**
Well, I think it's a good thing
to do stuff like this once in a while.
**[18:00] ---**
I guess so.
**[18:02] ---**
Hey...
**[18:03] ---**
For the first time in a while,
I had too much to drink.
**[18:05] ---**
Give me some water.
**[18:08] ---**
So, you two are 16 already, huh?
**[18:11] ---**
Since I'm dressed like this, maybe Shura Santa
will give you some kind of present!
**[18:16] ---**
What?
**[18:17] ---**
No, guys, nothing erotic, okay?
**[18:22] ---**
See...
**[18:24] ---**
I once met your mother.
**[18:27] ---**
Just once, but still...
**[18:29] ---**
Yuri Egin, was it?
**[18:33] ---**
Is that true?
**[18:34] ---**
Huh?
**[18:35] ---**
Hey, it's not much of a story, all right?
**[18:38] ---**
Just that I met her when I was little.
**[18:40] ---**
Well? Wanna hear it?
**[18:42] ---**
Of course! Anything someone's who's met
our mother can tell us is like treasure!
**[18:46] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:48] ---**
Eighteen years ago...
**[18:49] ---**
Shiro, not knowing what to do with me
after rescuing me from Hachiro...
**[18:53] ---**
took me to Yuri first of all.
**[18:56] ---**
*Yuri! I need a favor from you!*
**[18:58] ---**
*What?*
**[19:00] ---**
*You owe me one.*
**[19:02] ---**
*This kid kinda stinks,
so do something about her.*
**[19:05] ---**
*She's a girl, so I have no clue
how to handle her!*
**[19:08] ---**
*Oh my.*
**[19:11] ---**
*My bad.*
**[19:12] ---**
*No.*
**[19:13] ---**
*I was just thinking that I wanted
to take a bath, so it's all good.*
**[19:18] ---**
*Red hair...*
**[19:20] ---**
*How pretty!*
**[19:35] ---**
*Is it good?*
**[19:38] ---**
*- Yuri...
- Hmm?*
**[19:40] ---**
*Could you look after her for me?*
**[19:43] ---**
*I can't do it. You see that, don't you?*
**[19:46] ---**
*Otherwise, she'll get tossed into the Asylum.*
**[19:49] ---**
*- Even I don't want that—
- No!*
**[19:51] ---**
*Let me go, brat!*
**[19:53] ---**
*She wants you, Shiro!*
**[19:55] ---**
*She'll resent me if I take her away from you.*
**[19:57] ---**
*Huh?*
**[19:58] ---**
*Or... do you want to live here together?*
**[20:02] ---**
*You'll be the father figure,
and I'll be the mother figure.*
**[20:06] ---**
*Doesn't that sound fun?*
**[20:09] ---**
*Not fun at all.*
**[20:12] ---**
*Don't joke around with me...*
**[20:13] ---**
*you perverted woman.*
**[20:15] ---**
*You think?*
**[20:17] ---**
*I'm sure it would be lovely.*
**[20:20] ---**
Your mother was a cheerful,
kindhearted, beautiful person.
**[20:26] ---**
I was sure that I'd never measure up to her.
**[20:30] ---**
I think she had your eyes, Rin.
**[20:33] ---**
And she had a lot of moles
just like you, Yukio.
**[20:37] ---**
That's it! End of story!
**[20:41] ---**
Happy Birthday...
**[20:43] ---**
Rin, Yukio.
**[20:47] ---**
Rin, are you awake?
**[20:49] ---**
Huh?
**[20:51] ---**
That story about Mom...
What did you think?
**[20:54] ---**
What did I think?
**[20:56] ---**
I never even knew Mom's name,
so I thought, "Hey, she really did exist."
**[21:02] ---**
I'm glad I found that out.
**[21:05] ---**
Rin...
**[21:06] ---**
Don't you want to know
how we came to be born?
**[21:11] ---**
As a criminal who'd become pregnant by Satan,
almost all of the data on Yuri Egin...
**[21:16] ---**
is marked confidential in the Order.
**[21:19] ---**
But I want to know!
**[21:20] ---**
How I came to be born
and why it's such a secret!
**[21:26] ---**
Do you still believe
there's no need to know, Rin?
**[21:30] ---**
Right.
**[21:31] ---**
I know it's not going to be
a fun story to hear.
**[21:34] ---**
So, what good would it do to know?
**[21:37] ---**
Just finding out on our birthday that Mom
was a beautiful, kind person is enough for me.
**[21:44] ---**
Where are you going?
**[21:45] ---**
To pee.
**[21:47] ---**
Don't give me that crap!
**[21:48] ---**
Birthday, my ass!
**[21:50] ---**
The truth is, we don't even know
when we were born!
**[21:53] ---**
Normally, you just charge ahead
without thinking! So, why...
**[21:57] ---**
Why is that the one thing
you're passive about?
**[22:00] ---**
Which one of us is the real wimp?
**[23:35] OS**
NEXT TIME
CONGRATULATIONS
