[00:01] Towa Higurashi
    Towa and Setsuna.
[00:02] Towa Higurashi
    Between us half-demon twins,
    two different worlds exist at the same time.
[00:08] Towa Higurashi
    Human and demon.
[00:10] Towa Higurashi
    Feudal era and present day.
[00:12] Towa Higurashi
    Peacefulness and war.
[00:14] Towa Higurashi
    Joy and sorrow.
[00:16] Towa Higurashi
    Dreams and reality.
[00:17] Towa Higurashi
    One moment and eternity.
[00:19] Towa Higurashi
    And finally, love and hate.
[00:23] Towa Higurashi
    A Feudal Fairytale,
    Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

    through the hurdles of destiny!
SIGN    DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA
SIGN    HALF-DEMON GIRL – TOWA HIGURASHI
[00:45] Towa Higurashi
    I wonder what that was.
    That sense of unity I felt...
[00:51] Towa Higurashi
    It felt like we understood each other
    without having to say a single word.
[00:57] Moroha
    Whoa, hey!
[00:59] Moroha
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
     I-Is this burning?!
[01:01] Moroha
    How long am I supposed to...
[01:06] Towa Higurashi
    Geez, what are you doing?
[01:08] Moroha
    This thing we brought from your world,
[01:11] Moroha
    PANCAKE MIX SUPER FLUFFY
     what was it called again?
[01:12] Towa Higurashi
    Pancakes.
[01:14] Moroha
    That's the one.
[01:16] Moroha
    Oh, looks like it's frying up nicely.
[01:20] Moroha
    But man, this really is useful!
[01:23] Moroha
    You can cook wherever,
    whenever you want.
[01:25] Moroha
    Gotta check it for poison first!
[01:33] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, are you all right?
[01:35] Moroha
    I need something to drink! Right now!
[01:38] Moroha
    Th-There!
[01:39] Moroha
    W-Water!
[01:42] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, is she seriously
    going to drink that pond water?
[01:45] Setsuna
    Looks like it.
[01:47] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, get back here!
[01:48] Moroha
    Water, water!
[01:50] Moroha
    Water, water!
[01:56] Towa Higurashi
    If you drink that muddy water,
    you're going to get a stomachache.
[02:00] Moroha
    B-But... Oh, I'm not choking anymore.
[02:04] Towa Higurashi
    Geez.
[02:22] Towa Higurashi
    What's wrong?
[02:23] Moroha
    Just now!
    The pond swallowed up the bird.
[02:26] Towa Higurashi
    The pond swallowed the bird?
[02:28] Moroha
    Yeah!
[02:30] Moroha
    A bird came zooming by,
[02:32] Moroha
    and the water went splash
    and the bird got gobbled up!
[02:37] Setsuna
    You're so noisy as usual. I'm leaving.
[02:41] Towa Higurashi
    The Demon Slayer's place, right?
    I'll go with you.
[02:44] Moroha
    H-Hey!
[02:46] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha, you're heading
    to Mr. Jyubei's, right?
[02:49] Towa Higurashi
    Good luck with that, okay?
[02:52] Moroha
    Geez.
[02:54] Moroha
    But that was really weird.
[02:56] Moroha
    I swear the pond just...
[04:40] Towa Higurashi
    "Curse of the Man-Eating Pond"
[04:44] Setsuna
    A "Man-Eating Pond'?
[04:45] Kohaku
    Yes. It's on the other side of that hill,
    and a little hidden.
[04:49] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, that's where we were earlier...
[04:52] Hisui
    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI
     According to the villagers,
[04:54] Hisui
    the pond used to be so beautiful that
    it sparkled and shone like a mirror.
[04:58] Hisui
    But something started living in it,
    and it started getting murky.
[05:03] Setsuna
    You're saying that "something"
    is the Man-Eating Pond's real identity?
[05:07] Kohaku
    Yes.
[05:09] Kohaku
    It's just that no one alive
    has ever seen what it is.
[05:12] Kohaku
    And that's because...
[05:12] Kohaku
    LEADER OF DEMON SLAYERS – KOHAKU
     And that's because...
[05:13] Kohaku
    LEADER OF DEMON SLAYERS – KOHAKU
     all eye-witnesses have been eaten.
[05:15] Kohaku
    all eye-witnesses have been eaten.
[05:18] Hisui
    Whatever it is, it eats anything
    that comes near the pond.
[05:22] Hisui
    Humans, beasts, and birds.
[05:24] Towa Higurashi
    Birds...
[05:27] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[05:28] Setsuna
    Looks like she wasn't just fooling around.
[05:31] Setsuna
    So all we have to do is slay it, right?
[05:35] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, wait for me.
[05:40] Towa Higurashi
    So it's a mysterious "something"
    living in the pond.
[05:44] Towa Higurashi
    I wonder what it is.
[05:49] Towa Higurashi
    What is it, Setsuna?
[05:50] Setsuna
    Hold this for me.
[05:52] Towa Higurashi
    What? Hey.
[05:54] Towa Higurashi & Hikomaru
    – Why're you in such a hurry?
    – Let go of me!
[05:57] Chiyo
    HIKOMARU'S LITTLE SISTER – CHIYO
     No Brother, please don't go!
[06:00] Chiyo
    No Brother, please don't go!
[06:00] Hikomaru
    HIKOMARU
     Let go of me, Chiyo!
[06:01] Hikomaru
    HIKOMARU
     I'm going to avenge Ma and Pa!
[06:03] Hikomaru
    I'm going to avenge Ma and Pa!
[06:04] Chiyo
    Stop it! I don't want you to disappear, too!
[06:10] Hikomaru
    Let me go.
[06:11] Hikomaru
    I said, let me go!
[06:17] Hikomaru
    Chiyo...
[06:19] Hikomaru
    I'm sorry!
[06:23] Setsuna
    Don't go over there. It's dangerous.
[06:26] Hikomaru
    Who are you! Let me go!
    Come on, let me go!
[06:30] Hikomaru
    I need to go there!
[06:35] Towa Higurashi
    Are you okay?
[06:38] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, you're hurt.
[06:40] Towa Higurashi
    Here, I'll carry you.
[06:42] Towa Higurashi
    Come on, let's tend your wounds
    at your home.
[06:45] Chiyo
    O-Okay.
[06:47] Towa Higurashi
    There we go.
    That's okay, right, Setsuna?
[06:51] Setsuna
    Yes.
[06:52] Setsuna
    You're coming, too.
[06:56] Towa Higurashi
    So that's what happened.
[06:58] Towa Higurashi
    You lost your mom and dad to that pond.
[07:02] Chiyo
    Yeah.
[07:03] Setsuna
    I understand what happened,
    but don't be so reckless anymore.
[07:07] Hikomaru
    But—
[07:07] Towa Higurashi
    No "buts."
[07:09] Towa Higurashi
    Listen. Older brothers can never
    let go of their little sister's hand, okay?
[07:13] Towa Higurashi
    Because it'll be too late
    if you regret it later.
[07:17] Hikomaru
    I-I'm sorry.
[07:28] Moroha
    Geez, why am I stuck
    doing something like this?
[07:31] Moroha
    Itchy.
SIGN    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA

[07:33] Myoga
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
     Lady Moroha.
[07:34] Moroha
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
    There you are again, Grandpa Myoga.
[07:36] Moroha
    There you are again, Grandpa Myoga.
[07:37] Myoga
    It feels really nice being beside you
    that I can't help it, Lady Moroha.
[07:43] Myoga
    By the way, why are you
    being relegated to cleaning?
[07:46] Takechiyo
    Hey, you've missed a spot over here.
[07:49] Moroha
    TAKECHIYO
     I already cleaned that area.
SIGN    TAKECHIYO

[07:51] Takechiyo
    TAKECHIYO
     Oh really now?
[07:54] Takechiyo
    Look at that, it's still so grimy though.
[07:58] Takechiyo
    And here, and here, and even here, too.
[08:02] Moroha
    I don't want to clean anymore!
    I'm Moroha the Demon Killer!
[08:08] Takechiyo
    Oh yeah? Then why haven't you
    brought in any heads lately?
[08:14] Moroha
    Well, you know, things happen...
[08:17] Takechiyo
    If you can't pay back the advance payment
    that Master Jyubei lent you,
[08:21] Takechiyo
    the least you could do is help clean.
[08:24] Moroha
    All right already!
[08:29] Moroha
    Geez.
[08:35] Towa Higurashi
    Okay, let's see that wound.
[08:38] Chiyo
    Ouch.
[08:39] Towa Higurashi
    Sorry, did that sting?
[08:41] Chiyo
    A little. But I'm okay.
[08:44] Towa Higurashi
    You're strong, Chiyo. Then...
[08:48] Towa Higurashi
    You get a heart-shaped one.
[08:51] Chiyo
    What is that?
[08:52] Towa Higurashi
    Well, you see...
[08:54] Hikomaru
    Hey, don't paste anything weird on Chiyo.
[08:57] Towa Higurashi
    Don't worry.
[08:58] Towa Higurashi
    This is an adhesive bandage.
    It's like a plaster, but better.
[09:07] Grandma
    The sun is already setting,
SIGN    HIKOMARU AND CHIYO'S GRANDMA The sun is already setting,
[09:10] Grandma
    HIKOMARU AND CHIYO'S GRANDMA
     so why don't you two
[09:11] Grandma
    HIKOMARU AND CHIYO'S GRANDMA
     spend the night here?
[09:11] Grandma
    spend the night here?
[09:12] Chiyo
    Yeah, let's do that!
    Brother, you tell them, too.
[09:17] Hikomaru
    Well, it doesn't really matter to me.
[09:20] Chiyo
    Please? Can you please stay the night?
[09:24] Towa Higurashi & Chiyo
    – What do you think, Setsuna?
    – Please, please?
[09:25] Setsuna
    Don't ask me.
[09:28] Grandma
    Oh, my.
[09:29] Hikomaru
    Grandma, another bowl!
[09:31] Chiyo
    Another bowl!
[09:32] Grandma
    Yes, yes.
[09:35] Towa Higurashi
    We're going to end up
    spending the night, huh?
[09:37] Towa Higurashi
    And they even fed us a meal.
[09:39] Setsuna
    This house is close to the pond.
    It's an ideal spot to be for our job.
[09:45] Grandma
    About that pond, it's been quite muddy
    ever since I was a child.
[09:50] Towa Higurashi
    I heard that pond used to be
    as clear as a mirror.
[09:55] Grandma
    That's right.
[09:57] Grandma
    A sage purified those muddy waters
    by using medicinal herbs.
[10:03] Setsuna
    A sage?
[10:05] Towa Higurashi
    With medicinal herbs...
[10:06] Grandma
    That sage planted
    medicinal herbs around the pond
[10:11] Grandma
    so that they could be used
    if the pond became murky again.
[10:14] Grandma
    There should be a nice wonderful
    patch of medicinal herbs by now...
[10:19] Hikomaru
    But because of the Venom Serpent,
    we can't go near it anymore.
[10:24] Setsuna
    "Venom Serpent"?
[10:25] Chiyo
    It's a huge snake-like demon
    that's poisonous.
[10:29] Towa Higurashi
    Have you two seen it before?
[10:31] Hikomaru & Chiyo
    Yeah.
[10:37] Chiyo
    Hey Miss, what's that?
[10:40] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[10:41] Setsuna
    It's a musical instrument.
[10:48] Chiyo
    What a funny shape.
[10:50] Hikomaru
    Is it like a biwa lute?
[10:52] Hikomaru
    Our Pa was good at playing the biwa, too.
[10:54] Chiyo
    He always played it for us.
[10:57] Setsuna
    I see.
[10:58] Towa Higurashi
    This is called a violin.
[11:00] Hikomaru & Chiyo
    "Bio-lin"?
[11:02] Chiyo
    Can you play for us?
[11:03] Hikomaru
    I want to hear it, too.
[11:05] Setsuna
    I'm not really good at it, but...
[11:07] Grandma
    If you could be so kind,
    please play a song for these children.
[11:40] Towa Higurashi
    What's wrong, you two?
[11:45] Grandma
    Their father was...
[11:48] Hikomaru
    He played the biwa for us
    by that pond.
[11:52] Hikomaru
    That's when he got swallowed up.
[11:58] Grandma
    There, there.
[12:19] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[12:23] Towa Higurashi
    Sorry, Setsuna.
    I accidentally fell asleep by myself.
[12:28] Setsuna
    It's fine. Don't worry about it.
[12:32] Towa Higurashi
    Nights are probably long
    when you can't sleep, huh?
[12:35] Towa Higurashi
    I'll definitely catch the Dream Butterfly, so...
[12:39] Setsuna
    It's always been like this...
[12:41] Setsuna
    for as long as I could remember.
[12:44] Setsuna
    So I don't find it a hardship.
[12:47] Setsuna
    If I stay here like this,
    the sun will eventually rise.
[12:51] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[12:53] Setsuna
    Anyway, I've been thinking about
    what Moroha said.
[12:57] Setsuna
    Why did Moroha say that
    the pond swallowed the bird up?
[13:02] Towa Higurashi
    You're right, if you saw
    something getting eaten,
[13:05] Towa Higurashi
    you'd have mentioned what did the eating,
    like a snake or some other organism.
[13:10] Setsuna
    It's fine.
[13:11] Setsuna
    Go to sleep. Come morning,
    it'll be time to slay the Venom Serpent.
[13:16] Towa Higurashi
    Then I'll sleep here.
[13:19] Towa Higurashi
    Good night.
[13:20] Towa Higurashi
    Ouch!
[13:24] Setsuna
    Don't come near me like you know me.
[13:33] Moroha
    Geez.
[13:34] Moroha
    Those two didn't come home last night,
    so where the hell are they?
[13:39] Moroha
    Towa! Setsuna!
[13:42] Moroha
    Oh, there they are.
[13:44] Moroha
    Hey, you two!
[13:47] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha.
[13:48] Moroha
    Geez, where've you been?
[13:50] Moroha
    You didn't come home last night,
    so I got worried and looked for you.
[13:53] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, a couple kids from the village
    let us stay at their home.
[13:57] Moroha
    Kids from the village?
[13:58] Setsuna
    There's no time to explain.
[14:00] Towa Higurashi
    A demon called the Venom Serpent
    is living in this pond.
[14:03] Moroha
    Venom Serpent?
    So the thing I saw yesterday was...
[14:07] Towa Higurashi
    Yeah, most likely.
    We're going to go slay it.
[14:11] Moroha
    What? Then I'll help you.
[14:13] Moroha
    All right, time to get that bounty.
[14:16] Moroha
    I never want to clean rooms ever again.
[14:21] Moroha
    Hey, Venom Serpent! Come on out!
[14:24] Moroha
    I'll send you to the afterlife
    with my Kurikaramaru!
[14:28] Setsuna
    Don't be so brash!
[14:34] Towa Higurashi
    Here it comes.
[14:40] Moroha
    There you are, Venom Serpent.
[14:42] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[14:53] Moroha
    Damn, this stings.
    Could this be demon venom?
[14:57] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha, watch out!
[15:03] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha!
[15:04] Setsuna
    Don't get distracted.
SIGN    VENOM SERPENT
[15:14] Towa Higurashi
    So this is the Venom Serpent?
[15:17] Venom Serpent
    Are you the one who
    tried to hurt this pond?
[15:21] Towa Higurashi
    It can talk?
[15:23] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna, be careful!
[15:25] Setsuna
    Scourge of Swallows!
[15:29] Venom Serpent
    You annoying little girls!
[15:39] Towa Higurashi
    Are you okay, Setsuna?
[15:40] Setsuna
    Y-Yeah.
[15:47] Myoga
    Lady Moroha, are you all right?
[15:49] Moroha
    Itchy!
[15:52] Moroha
    I'm still alive somehow...
[15:55] Moroha
    Huh? The itchiness went away.
[15:59] Myoga
    It's probably thanks to this herb.
[16:01] Moroha
    Herb?
[16:06] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna, are you okay?
[16:08] Setsuna
    Towa, why isn't the venom
    affecting you at all?
[16:12] Towa Higurashi
    You're right. I have no clue.
[16:15] Towa Higurashi
    If that's the case, leave this to me.
[16:17] Towa Higurashi
    Venom Serpent, I'm your opponent!
[16:25] Towa Higurashi
    It's like the pond is alive...
[16:32] Moroha
    The pond is protecting
    the Venom Serpent!
[16:35] Myoga
    The Venom Serpent
    is not the only one living here.
[16:38] Myoga
    The pond itself is a demon, too.
[16:43] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna, look.
[16:47] Setsuna
    What is that?
[16:48] Towa Higurashi
    So many people drowned in this pond.
SIGN    WATER DEMON – DRIFTING POND

[16:54] Drifting Pond
    WATER DEMON – DRIFTING POND
     I am Drifting Pond.
[16:57] Drifting Pond
    I drift from pond to pond,
    consume it, and become the pond itself.
[17:01] Moroha
    Drifting Pond, huh?
    That's the one I saw yesterday.
[17:05] Myoga
    Venom Serpent and Drifting Pond.
    This will be a tough battle.
[17:09] Moroha
    I'll help, too.
[17:14] Myoga
    Lady Moroha,
    you do not have venom resistance.
[17:17] Myoga
    Even if you went to help,
    you would only cause them trouble!
[17:20] Moroha
    Damn it.
[17:22] Drifting Pond
    How dare you endanger
    the resident of this pond! Die!
[17:27] Towa Higurashi
    That's nothing!
[17:32] Towa Higurashi
    How's that?
[17:38] Setsuna
    Towa, what's wrong?
[17:40] Towa Higurashi
    I don't know. My body suddenly...
[17:45] Setsuna
    Could the demon venom have soaked
    into the water? However...
[17:49] Setsuna
    This time, it's only affecting Towa.
    What's going on?
[17:53] Myoga
    I see. It looks like the two of them have
    different types of venom resistance.
[17:59] Moroha
    What do you mean?
[18:01] Myoga
    Apparently, Lady Towa
    has resistance to poison mist,
[18:04] Myoga
    while Lady Setsuna
    has resistance to venom.
[18:08] Myoga
    As expected from
    Lord Sesshomaru's daughters.
[18:11] Myoga
    Now they just need
    to properly utilize their resistances.
[18:16] Setsuna
    Can you move, Towa?
[18:17] Towa Higurashi
    Yeah, somewhat.
[18:22] Venom Serpent
    You little girls, I will not forgive you.
[18:26] Setsuna
    Drifting Pond and Venom Serpent.
[18:28] Setsuna
    Both at the same time. This'll be tough.
[18:31] Towa Higurashi
    It'll be okay.
[18:33] Towa Higurashi
    There's two of us!
[18:43] Setsuna
    Is that...
[18:45] Setsuna
    A biwa?
[18:48] Grandma
    A sage purified those muddy waters
    by using medicinal herbs.
[18:54] Setsuna
    That's right! The patch of medicinal herbs.
[18:57] Towa Higurashi
    What is it, Setsuna?
[18:59] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[19:00] Setsuna
    Towa, I'll deal with Drifting Pond.
[19:03] Setsuna
    I'm leaving the Venom Serpent to you.
[19:05] Towa Higurashi
    You got it.
[19:07] Drifting Pond
    You won't escape!
[19:12] Myoga
    Lady Setsuna is heading this way.
[19:15] Moroha
    You're right. What's going on?
[19:18] Setsuna
    You better dodge this, Moroha.
[19:25] Setsuna
    Cyclone Burst!
[19:43] Drifting Pond
    This is nothing!
[19:46] Setsuna
    If these are the sage's medicinal herbs,
[19:48] Setsuna
    then it should purify you,
    since you are sullying the pond.
[19:54] Moroha
    Hey, the water's clearing up!
[19:59] Venom Serpent
    D-Drifting Pond...
[20:01] Setsuna
    Towa! I'm leaving the rest to you!
[20:04] Towa Higurashi
    I know!
[20:15] Towa Higurashi
    Poison mist won't work on me!
[20:23] Venom Serpent
    Drifting... Pond...
[20:44] Moroha
    You two are amazing.
    You got both of them at the same time.
[20:48] Towa Higurashi & Moroha
    – Yay!
     – Yeah!
[20:51] Towa Higurashi & Setsuna
    – Yay!
     – Y...
[20:55] Towa Higurashi
    What? You're not going to?
[20:56] Setsuna
    You're annoying.
[20:59] Towa Higurashi
    I'm hurt...
[21:01] Moroha
    Wow, look at that.
[21:03] Moroha
    This pond is so pretty and clear.
[21:05] Towa Higurashi & Setsuna
    – Yep.
    – Yeah.
[21:07] Chiyo
    Miss!
[21:09] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, Chiyo and Hikomaru.
[21:15] Hikomaru
    Here, you forgot this.
[21:17] Setsuna
    Thank you.
[21:21] Chiyo
    So pretty!
[21:22] Moroha
    Right? I can definitely drink this water now.
[21:25] Towa Higurashi
    Geez, stop it already, Moroha.
[21:31] Hikomaru
    You guys all defeated that thing, right?
[21:34] Hikomaru
    Thank you.
[21:37] Setsuna
    There's no need for thanks.
[21:42] Setsuna
    This may not replace the biwa, but...
SIGN    NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
[23:30] Nikosen
    Some mere half-demons
    have the Rainbow Pearl?
[23:33] Nikosen
    I see, so you think that I, Nikosen,
[23:36] Nikosen
    being both demon and human,
    am best suited to take care of them.
[23:40] Konton
    See to it that you defeat them.
[23:42] Towa Higurashi
    In a battle against a demon that withered a
    mountain, I end up holding us all back.
[23:46] Setsuna
    What's wrong with you today, Towa?
[23:48] Moroha
    I don't sense any demon energy from you.
    It's like you're a human or something!
[23:52] Towa Higurashi
    Next time on Yashahime:
    Princess Half-Demon:
[23:53] Towa Higurashi
    "Night of the New Moon
    and the Black-haired Towa"

    I'm really sorry for troubling everyone like this.
