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.
[00:26] Towa Higurashi
We'll keep moving forward
through the hurdles of destiny!

[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

[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...

In a battle against a demon that withered a
