    two different worlds exist at the same time.
[00:08] Towa Higurashi
    Human and demon.
[00:10] Towa Higurashi

SIGN    ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – KONTON

[00:43] Nikosen
    I, Nikosen, have arrived.
SIGN    FORMER SAGE – NIKOSEN

[00:46] Konton
    FORMER SAGE – NIKOSEN
     I've heard that you mastered
[00:49] Konton
    a human craft before becoming
    an apparition, but is that true?
[00:53] Nikosen
    Just so.
[00:55] Konton
    Then please, show me a dance.
[00:57] Nikosen
    A dance?
[00:59] Konton
    Here are the half-demons
    who possess Rainbow Pearls.
[01:03] Nikosen
    Half-demons?
[01:06] Nikosen
    I heard they were beings born between
    a human and a demon.
[01:12] Konton
    How distasteful.
[01:14] Nikosen
    Some mere half-demons
    have the Rainbow Pearls?
[01:18] Konton
    Indeed. So distasteful.
[01:22] Nikosen
    I see, so you think that I, Nikosen,
    being both demon and human,
[01:27] Nikosen
    am best suited to take care of them.
[01:30] Nikosen
    As you say, I shall dance brilliantly for you.
[01:34] Konton
    I hope you create an excellent show.
[03:22] Towa Higurashi
    "Night of the New Moon
    and the Black-haired Towa"
[03:28] Setsuna
    Another request?
[03:30] Kohaku
    Yeah. Apparently, a demon
    named Nikosen dried up a mountain,
[03:34] Kohaku
    so the nearby villagers are spooked.
[03:37] Kohaku
    Could you take care of it, Setsuna?

    I'll have Hisui join you later.
[03:47] Setsuna
    If it's your order, Chief,
    then I have no objections.
[03:53] Towa Higurashi
    I know, I know.
SIGN    CAT DEMON – KIRARA

[03:56] Towa Higurashi
    CAT DEMON – KIRARA
    Let's go together, Kirara.
[04:07] Nikosen
    I have taken plenty of nutrients
    from the mountain and trees.
[04:11] Nikosen
    Now I just have to wait for
    those half-demons to show up.
[04:17] Setsuna
    It's that mountain.
[04:20] Towa Higurashi
    The plants have dried up
    in a really strange way.
[04:24] Towa Higurashi
    And the color of the soil is weird, too.
[04:27] Setsuna
    We're getting off. There's a guest.
[04:29] Towa Higurashi
    Huh? Who is it?
SIGN    BOUNTY HUNTER– MOROHA

SIGN    BOUNTY HUNTER– MOROHA
     I see.
[04:35] Moroha
    This is poison, but it's not
    the poison from an apparition.
[04:39] Moroha
    Looks like the nutrients
    have been sucked away from it.
[04:41] Villager A
    As you can see, the trees are all bare.
[04:44] Moroha
    Yeah, this is pretty horrible.
[04:47] Moroha
    Do you know who could've done this?
[04:49] Villager B
    I think it got destroyed by
    a demon's poison.
[04:52] Villager C
    It's definitely the work of Nikosen.
[04:56] Moroha
    Looks like I'm gonna score big this time.
[04:59] Towa Higurashi
    Hey!
[05:01] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha!
[05:06] Moroha
    What're you guys doing here?
[05:08] Towa Higurashi
    Are you here to slay Nikosen, too?
[05:10] Moroha
    Wait, don't tell me.
[05:11] Setsuna
    We received orders to slay it.
[05:14] Moroha
    Oh man, are we going to have to
    split the bounty again?
[05:20] Towa Higurashi
    The plants look more withered
    the higher we climb.
[05:23] Moroha
    And I can smell rotting soil
    from the top of the mountain.
[05:27] Setsuna
    Yeah.
[05:28] Moroha
    I heard that Nikosen used to be
    a sage a long time ago,
[05:31] Moroha
    but wicked thoughts made him stray
    from his path and turn into an apparition.
[05:36] Moroha
    Keep your guard up.
[05:38] Moroha
    The smell of rotting soil
    is getting stronger.
[05:41] Setsuna
    No need to bother stating the obvious.
[05:43] Towa Higurashi
    What? Really?
[05:45] Moroha
    You don't feel the demon energy?
[05:49] Towa Higurashi
    That's right, I don't sense anything.
[05:56] Setsuna
    Her heart beat is faster than usual.
[05:58] Setsuna
    Even with this hill's incline,
    she shouldn't be out of breath.
[06:05] Nikosen
    I've been waiting for you, half-demons.
[06:09] Moroha
    There you are, Nikosen.
[06:12] Setsuna
    Prepare to die!
[06:15] Towa Higurashi
    Huh?
[06:18] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, why...
[06:20] Setsuna
    Stay back, Towa.
[06:21] Nikosen
    How impudent for half-demons
    to possess the Rainbow Pearls.
[06:28] Moroha
    This is bad. That's sage venom.
    You two are going to get hurt really bad.
[06:33] Setsuna
    Towa, use this.
[06:40] Setsuna
    Towa.
[06:44] Moroha
    Leave this to me.
[06:46] Setsuna
    I appreciate it.
[06:53] Moroha
    It's not going through.
[06:54] Nikosen
    You fool. Such a dull sword
    will not work on me!
[07:06] Setsuna
    Are you all right?
[07:08] Towa Higurashi
    Sorry.
[07:09] Towa Higurashi
    I'm just getting in your way, aren't I?
[07:13] Setsuna
    The smell of her blood
    flowing within her is changing.
[07:17] Setsuna
    What's wrong with Towa today?
[07:22] Moroha
    Hey.
[07:23] Moroha
    Setsuna, can I borrow
    one of those protective masks, too?
[07:27] Moroha
    I can't put all my strength into
    Kurikaramaru with just one arm.
[07:32] Setsuna
    I don't have extra.
[07:33] Setsuna
    Use mine.
[07:35] Moroha
    Are you sure? If it's poison in the air...
[07:37] Setsuna
    It's fine, just use it.
[07:44] Moroha
    Thanks for waiting!
[07:46] Moroha
    Now, let's see and find out if this
    Kurikaramaru really is as dull as you say!
[07:54] Nikosen
    It's useless no matter
    how many times you try.
[08:03] Moroha
    I did it! That bounty is mine!
[08:08] Moroha
    What?
[08:11] Nikosen
    I won't give you my head.
[08:13] Moroha
    Heavenly Arrow Barrage!
[08:19] Moroha
    All right, this time I got you!
[08:24] Moroha
    What? You gotta be kidding me.
[08:30] Moroha
    I can't believe him.
[08:34] Setsuna
    I'll finish him off. Take care of Towa.
[08:37] Moroha
    All right. Leave her to me.
[08:47] Moroha
    Hang in there.
[08:49] Moroha
    Once we cross this bridge
    and go down the hill,
[08:51] Moroha
    we'll reach the nearby village.
[08:54] Moroha
    Just a bit longer. Hang in there.
[09:04] Moroha
    We defeated Nikosen, so why
    is the sage venom still lingering?
[09:11] Nikosen
    That's because...
[09:13] Nikosen
    I'm alive and well.
[09:18] Moroha
    But...
[09:23] Nikosen
    Now, give me that
    Gold Rainbow Pearl of yours!
[09:28] Setsuna
    Cyclone Burst!
[09:33] Nikosen
    Damn you!
[09:39] Setsuna
    Scourge of Swallows!
[09:45] Setsuna
    What? An illusion?
[09:47] Setsuna
    Oh, no. Nikosen's core
    must be his torso!
[09:51] Setsuna
    Sorry, Kirara, but we have to hurry.
[10:03] Moroha
    I see, so you grew a new head, huh?
[10:08] Nikosen
    Were you surprised?
[10:10] Moroha
    Well, your head's like an endless bounty,
    so as long as I catch you,
[10:16] Moroha
    I can keep receiving a bounty forever!
[10:20] Moroha
    And that means I can
    pay back my debt in no time!
[10:24] Nikosen
    What are you talking about?
[10:26] Moroha
    Nikosen! I'll cut you a good deal,
    so let's work together.
[10:30] Nikosen
    Stop spouting nonsense!
[10:32] Moroha
    Take your complaints to your own
     head-regenerating body, you weirdo!
[10:37] Nikosen
    You fool!
[10:42] Moroha
    Towa? What's with your hair?
[10:45] Moroha
    Hey, you! What did you do to Towa!
[10:47] Nikosen
    Hell if I know!
[11:00] Konton
    Well, isn't this quite interesting...
[11:05] Setsuna
    Kirara, please hurry.
[11:10] Setsuna
    That's...
[11:13] Hisui
    Setsuna!
[11:14] Setsuna
    Hisui. Chief.
[11:30] Moroha
    What happened to you, Towa?
[11:33] Moroha
    Her hair's color and length both changed.
[11:36] Moroha
    I don't sense any demon energy.
[11:39] Moroha
    It's like she's a human or something.
[11:43] Moroha
    Oh, that's right.
[11:44] Moroha
    In times like these...
[11:47] Moroha
    Here it is. Hey, Grandpa Myoga!
[11:51] Moroha
    Maybe it's time I put on my rouge...
[11:56] Moroha
    There you are.
[11:58] Myoga
    Did I hear you say that you'll be
    using your rouge, Lady Moroha?
SIGN    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA

[12:05] Myoga
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
    Oh, it looks like you haven't yet.
[12:07] Myoga
    Oh, it looks like you haven't yet.
[12:09] Moroha
    Before that, there's something
    I want to ask you.
[12:15] Moroha
    You've woken up.
[12:17] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha, where are we?
[12:20] Myoga
    Oh my goodness.
[12:22] Myoga
    Lady Towa, that black hair...
[12:27] Myoga
    I see.
[12:29] Myoga
    There's no mistaking it,
    we're in the middle of a New Moon.
[12:32] Towa Higurashi
    New Moon?
[12:33] Myoga
    It is when the demon power
    flowing through your blood is lost.
[12:39] Myoga
    The New Moon is different
    depending on the half-demon.
[12:43] Myoga
    There are half-demons like Naraku
    who can decide on their own,
[12:46] Myoga
    and those like you,
    who revert back to a human being
[12:50] Myoga
    on a moonless night of the New Moon.
[12:53] Towa Higurashi
    But this never happened to me
    when I was in the other world.
[13:00] Myoga
    That may be because
    you are originally from this world.
[13:06] Moroha
    But I've never had to go through this.
[13:09] Myoga
    Let's see.
[13:10] Myoga
    I can't say much since
    there are few precedents,
[13:13] Myoga
    but perhaps, as a quarter-demon,
[13:15] Myoga
    Lady Moroha does not
    experience the New Moon.
[13:19] Towa Higurashi
    What about Setsuna?
    With the same blood running through us,
[13:22] Towa Higurashi
    would she lose
    her demon powers like I did?
[13:26] Myoga
    Well, since Lady Setsuna
    is also a half-demon,
[13:29] Myoga
    she cannot escape from
    the laws of the New Moon.
[13:33] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, no. Moroha, where's Setsuna?
[13:36] Moroha
    She went to go after Nikosen's head.
[13:39] Towa Higurashi
    There's no way
    she can slay demons in this state.
[13:43] Myoga
    Indeed. On the night
    of the New Moon,
[13:47] Myoga
    half-demons tend to lie low
    to avoid encountering others.
[13:52] Towa Higurashi
    I need to help her.
[13:53] Moroha
    Sorry!
[13:56] Moroha
    Just stay here and rest.
[13:59] Moroha
    Grandpa Myoga, you're peerless when
    it comes to hiding and running away.
[14:03] Moroha
    You have a plan, right?
[14:05] Myoga
    Huh?
[14:06] Moroha
    A way for Towa to safely pass
    the day of the New Moon!
[14:17] Moroha
    Okay.
[14:19] Moroha
    I need one more please, Grandpa Myoga.
[14:24] Myoga
    Rolling, rolling, words on paper.
[14:27] Myoga
    Here it is, Lady Moroha.
[14:29] Myoga
    Please imbue it with spirit power.
[14:32] Moroha
    All right, leave it to me.
[14:43] Moroha
    And now I've created a barrier.
[14:50] Setsuna
    Why?
SIGN    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI

[14:51] Hisui
    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI
     What is it, Setsuna?
SIGN    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI

[14:53] Setsuna
    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI
    It's strange.
[14:55] Setsuna
    I can't sense Towa or
    Moroha's demon energy.
[14:58] Setsuna
    I can't even smell them.
[14:59] Hisui
    How is that even possible?
[15:02] Setsuna
    I don't know.
    But I need to hurry and find them.
[15:07] Moroha
    Hey, Grandpa Myoga.
[15:10] Moroha
    Will this barrier be enough?
[15:12] Moroha
    After all, we're up against Nikosen.
[15:14] Myoga
    He may have technically been a sage,
[15:16] Myoga
    but those who stray toward a path of evil
[15:19] Myoga
    should not be able to sense
    through this wall of spirit energy.
[15:26] Nikosen
    How peculiar.
    They should've fallen here somewhere...
[15:31] Nikosen
    But since I can't find their corpses,
    something doesn't seem right.
[15:37] Setsuna
    Chief!
[15:39] Setsuna
    I can't find Towa or Moroha anywhere.
[15:42] Kohaku
    With those two, there should be
    nothing to worry about, but...
[15:46] Rokuta
    Chief, preparations are done.
SIGN    DEMON SLAYERS – ROKUTA, NANASUKE

[15:48] Nanasuke
    DEMON SLAYERS – ROKUTA, NANASUKE
     We can shoot anytime.
[15:51] Kohaku
    Maybe we should wait
    a little bit longer...
[15:54] Setsuna
    Chief, please begin.
[15:56] Setsuna
    If anything happens to those two,
    I'll rush there immediately.
[16:00] Kohaku
    I see. All right.
[16:02] Kohaku
    Light it up!
[16:03] Rokuta & Nanasuke
    Yes, sir.
[16:08] Nikosen
    What's that?
[16:11] Kohaku
    Fire!
[16:18] Nikosen
    Wh-What?
[16:26] Nikosen
    Who the hell are they?
[16:29] Hisui
    When we approached,
    sage venom was whirling up.
[16:32] Hisui
    So we decided that burning down
    the entire mountain is much faster.
[16:36] Setsuna
    That's true.
[16:48] Moroha
    It's gotten kind of hot.
[16:50] Moroha
    A forest fire, huh?
[16:52] Moroha
    Towa.
[16:54] Towa Higurashi
    I think Setsuna and the demon slayers
    have all met up.
[16:59] Moroha
    Towa, sorry I knocked you out.
[17:00] Towa Higurashi
    It's fine, I understand.
[17:03] Moroha
    But if the demon slayers are all here,
[17:05] Moroha
    they sure started an uncharacteristically
    flashy way to slay the demon.
[17:16] Nikosen
    I sensed them just now.
[17:19] Moroha
    Shit, the barrier's disappearing!
[17:22] Towa Higurashi
    It's all right, Moroha.
[17:24] Towa Higurashi
    I think it's bad for me to keep running.
    I'm going to go look for Setsuna.
[17:29] Moroha
    What're you talking about?
[17:31] Moroha
    Even if you go out there with no demon power,
    you'll just be dragging them down.
[17:36] Towa Higurashi
    But, I think Setsuna's going through
    the same thing.
[17:40] Towa Higurashi
    On a night like tonight,
    she's probably filled with worry.
[17:44] Moroha
    You might be wrong about that.
[17:48] Moroha
    Setsuna has been managing herself
    just fine in this era so far.
[17:53] Towa Higurashi
    That's not true.
[17:55] Towa Higurashi
    No matter what era you live in,
    what girls feel will never change!
[17:59] Moroha
    "What girls feel"?
    Never thought I'd hear you say that.
[18:04] Towa Higurashi
    Is it?
[18:08] Nikosen
    There you are!
[18:12] Moroha
    Towa, stay back.
[18:15] Moroha
    I've been waiting for you, Nikosen.
    My key to an endless bounty!
[18:19] Nikosen
    Stop saying ridiculous things!
[18:26] Nikosen
    Don't make me laugh!
[18:35] Moroha
    What is this?
[18:36] Towa Higurashi
    It's solidifying.
[18:41] Setsuna
    Towa.
[18:43] Setsuna
    I definitely just heard Towa scream.
[18:46] Setsuna
    Towa!
[18:52] Nikosen
    First, I'll get these two to Lord Konton.
[18:58] Setsuna
    Scourge of Swallows!
[19:12] Setsuna
    Towa, Moroha.
[19:14] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna!
[19:15] Setsuna
    Is that you, Towa?
[19:17] Towa Higurashi
    Of course I am! Look closely.
[19:20] Setsuna
    But the more I look...
[19:22] Towa Higurashi
    More importantly,
    are you okay, Setsuna?
[19:25] Setsuna
    What?
[19:26] Towa Higurashi
    There's no moon out tonight,
    so it's the New Moon.
[19:29] Setsuna
    And?
[19:30] Towa Higurashi
    You didn't return to a normal girl?
[19:33] Setsuna
    What do you mean?
[19:35] Moroha
    Oh, I guess since the Dream Butterfly
    has stolen her dreams,
[19:39] Moroha
    moonless nights and New Moons
    don't apply to her.
[19:43] Setsuna
    I see, the New Moon.
[19:46] Setsuna
    I thought Towa's condition
    had been strange since evening,
[19:49] Setsuna
    so that's what it was.
[19:51] Towa Higurashi
    I'm sorry. I'm really sorry
    for troubling everyone like this.
[20:00] Setsuna
    What?
[20:01] Towa Higurashi
    No way.
[20:03] Moroha
    He's still alive.
[20:10] Nikosen
    If I swallow you whole, I will get
    the nutrients of a young half-demon.
[20:19] Nikosen
    What? What happened?
[20:32] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, are you two hurt?
[20:36] Towa Higurashi
    Thanks for waiting, everyone.
[20:38] Setsuna & Moroha
    Towa!
[20:39] Towa Higurashi
    Okay, let's begin the counter attack!
[20:57] Nikosen
    How could this be... For me to...
[21:02] Nikosen
    By mere half-demons...
[21:20] Moroha
    Both the head and body are gone...
[21:23] Moroha
    There goes my lucky plan
    for an endless bounty...
[21:27] Setsuna
    It wouldn't have been possible anyway.
[21:30] Towa Higurashi
    There's no way that Mr. Jyubei
    wouldn't notice the sleight of hand.
[21:34] Moroha
    Yeah. I guess you're right.
[21:37] Moroha
    Damn it!
[21:43] Konton
    So half-demons have New Moons.
    I see. This is entertaining.
[21:54] Konton
    That was a good show.

[23:34] Kohaku
    Hisui, please go to Brother's side.
[23:37] Setsuna
    I see. That person is Monk Miroku.
[23:39] Hisui
    He wants to attain divine power
    through one thousand–day training,
[23:42] Hisui
    but I doubt it'll go that smoothly.
[23:44] Towa Higurashi
    Totetsu, one of the Four Perils, appears!
[23:46] Towa Higurashi
    Will he eat anything with that big mouth?!
[23:49] Towa Higurashi
    Next time on Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon:
    "The Delicious Feudal Monks"
[23:52] Totetsu
    Now, I hope you taste good.
    Thank you for the meal!
