[00:09] ---
    You're as popular as ever, Shido.
[00:16] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[00:19] ---
    I don't intend to stir up
    trouble in a place like this.
[00:25] ---
    Why should we believe you?
[00:28] ---
    Because if I felt like it
    and wanted to resort to violence,
[00:34] ---
    I'd manifest my Angel this very moment.
[00:38] ---
    Taking students hostage
    would be as simple as that.
[00:44] ---
    The fact that I haven't done so
    is proof I'm not lying.
[02:26] ---
    "February 9th"
[02:28] ---
    You're not here to enjoy
    school life, are you?
[02:33] ---
    But believe me, I'd like that.
[02:36] ---
    If so, we'll throw you a welcome party.
[02:40] ---
    After your power is sealed, though.
[02:43] ---
    Sure, that's fine by me.
[02:47] ---
    Eh?
[02:48] ---
    I'm okay with entrusting
    my Spirit power to you, however...
[02:57] ---
    There's just one condition.
[03:01] ---
    And that would be...?
[03:06] ---
    Let's talk about it after school.
    There're too many people around.
[03:17] ---
    You know why I summoned you:
[03:19] ---
    Zodiac has fallen into Ratatoskr's hands.
[03:26] ---
    Now, Ratatoskr has ten spirits
    under its control.
[03:32] ---
    I'm ashamed of myself.
[03:35] ---
    I'm not blaming anybody.
[03:39] ---
    In fact, this situation is everything
    I could've hoped for.
[03:49] ---
    Though Sister limits my information,
[03:52] ---
    I can still use Beelzebub to hit
    Ratatoskr where it hurts.
[03:58] ---
    It's about time we made it happen:
[04:01] ---
    To use Shido Itsuka as the key
    to make the Spirits invert.
[04:07] ---
    Leave it to me.
[04:09] ---
    This time, I'll produce results.
[04:12] ---
    I hope so.
[04:14] ---
    Still, I've prepared
    a helper to lend a hand.
[04:19] ---
    Helper?
[04:21] ---
    You mean, a Wizard?
[04:33] ---
    Let me introduce you Nibeelcole,
    the daughters of my Demon King!
[04:41] ---
    Start the operation at once.
[04:45] ---
    I expect Shido Itsuka's head
    by the end of the day.
[04:52] ---
    Well, I'll get going.
[04:54] ---
    Are you sure, Shido?
    Wouldn't it be safer if we came?
[05:00] ---
    Tohka's right. It's dangerous.
[05:03] ---
    If you plan to face a Spirit who's cloaked
    in shadow, you need us!
[05:09] ---
    Agreement. We'll come along.
[05:13] ---
    Thanks, but I'll be fine.
[05:17] ---
    It's true that Kurumi is dangerous,
    but she won't go back on her word.
[05:23] ---
    Besides, if I can't even talk
    to Kurumi one-on-one,
[05:29] ---
    I've got little to no hope of ever
    sealing her Spirit power.
[05:39] ---
    All right, Kurumi. I came as promised.
[05:44] ---
    Greetings, Shido.
[05:47] ---
    --Don't push!
    --Won't Shido see us?
[05:50] ---
    This morning, I noticed something:
    You've changed a bit, Shido.
[05:57] ---
    Eh?
[05:58] ---
    You look like you've matured.
[06:01] ---
    Though, I suppose it's expected
    with all the carnage you've lived through.
[06:07] ---
    D-Don't make fun.
[06:11] ---
    Anyway, what's this condition of yours
    for sealing your Spirit power?
[06:17] ---
    Okay, okay. I'll tell you.
[06:21] ---
    I...
[06:32] ---
    Are you ready?
[06:34] ---
    Of course. Good to go.
[06:43] ---
    I'm impressed you stopped my attack!
    That's Ellen for you!
[06:47] ---
    Mana! Why are you here?!
[06:51] ---
    What is this? Was our plan leaked?!
[06:55] ---
    My, what a scary face!
[06:58] ---
    Keep scowling like that
    and you'll get wrinkles!
[07:03] ---
    Artemisia, let's regroup!
[07:07] ---
    Artemisia?
[07:10] ---
    I don't know how you did it,
    but well done.
[07:14] ---
    You managed to thwart our plan.
[07:18] ---
    Yeah. It's annoying, actually.
[07:22] ---
    Oh?
[07:23] ---
    So, what now? Looks like
    you missed your big chance.
[07:39] ---
    For real? Our turn already?
[07:43] ---
    Whatever, as long as it helps Father.
[07:47] ---
    So, you want us to kill her?
[07:51] ---
    Nibeelcole, it's all you.
[07:54] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:56] ---
    --See you later!
    --Bye bye!
[07:59] ---
    Not so fast!
[08:02] ---
    --My, my!
    --My, my!
[08:10] ---
    Nightmare!
[08:11] ---
    Eww, what's that?
[08:13] ---
    They all have the same face! Creepy!
[08:18] ---
    Like we're one to talk!
[08:21] ---
    I can help if you're struggling, Mana.
[08:25] ---
    I hate seeing the weak get picked on.
[08:29] ---
    Watch your mouth! I'll lop it off
    along with your head!
[08:35] ---
    My, my! Should you really be
    acting tough right now?
[08:42] ---
    After I'm done killing you, you're next!
[08:47] ---
    Shido...? Shido?
[08:53] ---
    Are you all right, Shido?
[08:57] ---
    S-Sorry. I spaced out there.
[09:02] ---
    Now then, allow me to explain.
[09:07] ---
    My goal is the same as it was before:
[09:12] ---
    You have Spirit power
    contained within your body...
[09:17] ---
    ...and I wish to devour it.
[09:20] ---
    After all, there are ten Spirits worth
    of power stored inside you.
[09:26] ---
    In other words,
    you want to kill me, right?
[09:33] ---
    Your goal is to seal my Spirit power,
[09:39] ---
    is it not?
[09:41] ---
    Yeah, but that's not all.
[09:45] ---
    I want you to atone for all
    you've done and live a happy live.
[09:52] ---
    That's my-- That's our ultimate goal.
[09:59] ---
    You're too kind, Shido.
[10:03] ---
    But, that's a problem. It's impossible
    for our desires to intersect.
[10:10] ---
    Say, Shido...
[10:13] ---
    Rather than both our dreams
    staying incomplete,
[10:18] ---
    isn't it better if one of them came true?
[10:23] ---
    That is, even if one of us
    loses everything for it.
[10:30] ---
    Don't be afraid.
[10:33] ---
    I don't intend to steal
    your Spirit power by force.
[10:38] ---
    I'm willing to do things your way.
[10:42] ---
    Huh?
[10:46] ---
    How about whoever makes the other
    fall for them is our winner?
[10:53] ---
    Eh?
[10:54] ---
    If I fall in love with you,
    I'll willingly give up my Spirit power.
[11:02] ---
    However...
[11:04] ---
    ...if I make you fall in love
    with me first, I win.
[11:10] ---
    Then, I get to devour you.
[11:15] ---
    You really think I'm gonna admit
    I'm in love knowing I'll die?
[11:20] ---
    I wonder.
[11:22] ---
    I'm confident I can make you say it,
    even at the cost of your life.
[11:30] ---
    Are you not confident you can make me
    head over heels for you?
[11:38] ---
    All right. You're on.
[11:42] ---
    I'll make you choose me
    over everything else.
[11:49] ---
    That's the Shido I know.
[11:53] ---
    Now then, shall we begin our date?
[12:10] ---
    Who said you got to decide?!
    If you lose, you die!
[12:15] ---
    Sorry... But I wasn't able
    to reach Fraxinus.
[12:23] ---
    I mean, I know you had no choice but to
    accept her challenge in that situation.
[12:31] ---
    But knowing it and accepting it
    are two different things!
[12:36] ---
    Stupid Big Brother!
    You never think of yourself!
[12:40] ---
    Good grief.
[12:45] ---
    Now you have a go.
[12:47] ---
    Letting comms go out at a time
    like that means I failed to support you.
[12:55] ---
    If you say so. You sure about this?
[13:01] ---
    Yeah. Do it.
[13:06] ---
    Take this!
[13:08] ---
    You like that?!
[13:12] ---
    Take this!
[13:14] ---
    And that!
[13:19] ---
    I'll let you off with that.
[13:24] ---
    N-No fair, Shido!
[13:27] ---
    --Shido! We're coming in!
    --Sorry we're late!
[13:30] ---
    Addition. We had to change.
    About the strategy meeting...
[13:35] ---
    Holy smokes!
[13:38] ---
    Um, uh... This is...
[13:42] ---
    Shido! He...! He...!
[13:46] ---
    There, there. It's okay, Kotori.
[13:49] ---
    Shido! What did you do?!
[13:52] ---
    Dear me! Did we interrupt something?
[13:56] ---
    Hold up! It's not like that!
[13:58] ---
    Doubt. It's not like what?
[14:02] ---
    Are you okay, Kotori?
[14:05] ---
    Aww! Kotori had all the fun!
[14:08] ---
    So, you like little sisters?
[14:11] ---
    I'm glad I prepared
    these adoption forms, Big Bro.
[14:16] ---
    This is getting out of hand.
[14:19] ---
    Now that it's calmed down, let's move on.
[14:24] ---
    Shido and Kurumi will be competing
    to make the other fall for them.
[14:30] ---
    Though she's after Shido's Spirit power,
[14:33] ---
    she may still appear before you guys.
[14:38] ---
    Be on your guard.
[14:40] ---
    R-Right.
[14:42] ---
    Okay. I won't take a step outside.
[14:45] ---
    You don't have to go that far.
[14:49] ---
    Hmm. It's puzzling.
[14:52] ---
    What is this Kurumi after
    by stealing his Spirit power?
[14:59] ---
    She's not after power itself, is she?
[15:02] ---
    Uh, well...
[15:05] ---
    I think I have a good idea
    about what Kurumin's goal is.
[15:10] ---
    Eh?
[15:11] ---
    I wasn't trying to hide it, but...
[15:15] ---
    Actually, Kurumin has
    come to my place before.
[15:20] ---
    She wanted me to
    look things up with Raziel:
[15:24] ---
    About the Spirit of Origin
    and how to beat it.
[15:30] ---
    The Spirit of Origin...
[15:33] ---
    Yeah. The Spirit that first
    appeared 30 years ago.
[15:39] ---
    She wanted to know where and when
    it showed up, and about its power.
[15:47] ---
    In order to kill it.
[15:50] ---
    Kill?
[15:54] ---
    So, her asking about
    the exact time and place...
[15:58] ---
    Is to make the Spirit that appeared
    30 years ago never happen.
[16:04] ---
    When I got help from Kurumi Tokisaki
    in the other world, she said as much.
[16:11] ---
    I see. Kurumi can go into the past.
[16:16] ---
    But to do so, she needs
    the power inside Shido.
[16:20] ---
    She'll kill the Spirit of Origin
    that appeared 30 years ago...
[16:25] ---
    ...and erase it from history.
[16:29] ---
    That's Kurumi's goal.
[16:32] ---
    Argh, jeez! Now there're
    even more questions.
[16:36] ---
    Kill the Spirit of Origin?
    Why would she do that?
[16:42] ---
    It's dangerous to dig deeper
    knowing so little.
[16:46] ---
    It's worthwhile trying to connect
    the dots, no matter how small.
[16:51] ---
    True.
[16:53] ---
    But the problem is that
    Kurumi's shrouded in mystery.
[16:59] ---
    I've got something I wanna say, too.
[17:03] ---
    Mana! What happened to you?!
[17:06] ---
    It's no big deal. Just some scratches.
[17:10] ---
    Didn't I tell you to sit
    your butt in a medical pod?
[17:15] ---
    I gave her permission.
[17:17] ---
    She said she had something
    important to say.
[17:22] ---
    Yeah. Take a look at this.
[17:36] ---
    Kurumi's clone army?
[17:39] ---
    I think this fight is what caused
    the communications disruption.
[17:45] ---
    Anyway, I managed to thwart DEM.
[17:50] ---
    That's what you said in the report.
[17:53] ---
    What I don't get is how you
    predicted Ellen would attack.
[18:00] ---
    Well...
[18:02] ---
    Nightmare... Kurumi Tokisaki told me.
[18:13] ---
    She said that Ellen would be launching
    an attack on Big Brother.
[18:19] ---
    She told me exactly where and when...
    which was yesterday.
[18:25] ---
    So? Why did the lovely Mana
    keep this secret from me?
[18:32] ---
    It's just, I figured you wouldn't let me
    go if I said anything, you know?
[18:38] ---
    You know me well. You and I
    will have a long talk later.
[18:44] ---
    Ugh! Please spare me!
[18:47] ---
    Back to Kurumi.
[18:49] ---
    Yeah. Why did she tell Mana
    that Ellen would attack?
[18:54] ---
    For starters, how did she
    know it would happen?
[18:58] ---
    Perhaps she just wanted to protect you.
[19:02] ---
    Tokisaki Kurumi is after
    your Spirit power.
[19:06] ---
    She wouldn't be pleased
    if DEM got you first.
[19:11] ---
    And she has an army of clones
    to gather information.
[19:17] ---
    Maybe she found out
    about their plans somehow.
[19:22] ---
    Well, that's true...
[19:25] ---
    Something on your mind, Shido?
[19:28] ---
    Uh, well...
[19:33] ---
    It's nothing. Anyway,
    let's prepare for tomorrow.
[19:42] ---
    Wha--?!
[19:43] ---
    Good morning, Shido. What a lovely day.
[19:48] ---
    Kurumi?! Why are you here?!
[19:51] ---
    My, my. Is it odd for classmates
    to walk to school together?
[19:58] ---
    Come, let's go.
[20:01] ---
    Reine, we've got trouble.
[20:04] ---
    Understood. Kurumi, right?
[20:07] ---
    She's gone on the offensive.
    I'll contact Kotori.
[20:12] ---
    Just play along for now.
[20:16] ---
    Oh, yeah! Kurumi, will you come with me?
    I wanna show you something.
[20:22] ---
    Oh? I can't wait to see what it is!
[20:28] ---
    Well then, after you!
[20:34] ---
    This is...?
[20:35] ---
    Where all the local cats gather.
    I thought you might like it, Kurumi.
[20:41] ---
    I-I don't know why you'd think that.
[20:50] ---
    C'mon. You, too.
[20:53] ---
    W-Well, if you insist...
[20:59] ---
    It's okay. Don't be afraid.
[21:09] ---
    Wh-What's so funny, Shido?!
[21:14] ---
    Sorry. That wasn't supposed to happen.
[21:17] ---
    C'mon, there's lots of other cats.
    Try petting one.
[21:23] ---
    No, thanks. It'll just run away again.
[21:28] ---
    It'll go better this time.
[21:32] ---
    Perhaps you're right.
[21:35] ---
    Hmm?
[21:37] ---
    There, there!
[21:40] ---
    You're right! This little kitten likes it!
[21:44] ---
    Meow!
[21:47] ---
    Shall we say round one ended in a tie?
[21:52] ---
    "Episode 09:
    'Nightmare's Seduction.'"
[21:52] ---
    Meow...
[23:25] ---
    Valentine's is here!
    Excited girls! Panicking boys!
[23:30] ---
    When the world's fate is involved,
    excitement and panic is expected!
[23:34] ---
    Next time: "Girl Time."
    Watch it or I'll seal you!
[23:35] ---
    "Episode 10: 'Girl Time.'"
[23:39] ---
    
[23:41] ---
