[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.

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

SIGN    KIRINMARU'S RETAINER – RIKU

[00:39] Kyuki
    KIRINMARU'S RETAINER – RIKU
     Our sworn enemy,
[00:41] Kyuki
    the Dog-Demon of the West,
    has been spotted at Kamakura.
[00:45] Kirinmaru
    I see. Is that so?
[00:48] Konton
    What's more, I hear
     he has sustained grave injuries
[00:51] Konton
    from battling Shishinki and Ryukotsusei.
[00:54] Konton
    BEAUTIFUL MYSTERY DEMON – ZERO
     If we move now, we may easily
[00:56] Konton
    If we move now, we may easily
[00:56] Konton
    be able to strike him down.
[00:56] Konton
    BEAST KING – KIRINMARU
    be able to strike him down.
SIGN    BEAST KING – KIRINMARU

[00:59] Kyuki
    Let us put an end to him,
[00:59] Kyuki
    KONTON KYUKI
     Let us put an end to him,
[01:01] Kyuki
    and we can finally rule
    the entire land.
[01:02] Kyuki
    and we can finally rule
    the entire land.
[01:04] Konton
    Lord Kirinmaru,
     we only need your order...
[01:07] Kirinmaru
    Fools!
[01:11] Kirinmaru
    If I am to challenge him to battle,
[01:14] Kirinmaru
    it cannot be when he is
     wounded and weak.
[01:17] Kirinmaru
    A battle must be won with honor.
    Is that too much for you fools to understand?
[01:24] Kirinmaru
    Riku! Riku, are you here?
[01:28] Riku
    Right here.
[01:32] Kirinmaru
    Gather the finest
     medicinal herbs you can find
[01:35] Kirinmaru
    and go deliver them to him.
[01:38] Kirinmaru
    Hurry!
[01:40] Riku
    All right.
[01:43] Kirinmaru
    Battle is meaningless
     unless you pour your all into it.
[01:48] Kirinmaru
    Winning with underhanded tactics
     will only leave you empty.
[01:52] Kyuki & Konton
    Understood.
[01:58] Zero
    When will he learn to compromise?
[02:01] Zero
    He troubles us to no end.
[02:04] Zero
    If he weren't so obstinate,
     we'd already be ruling the land.
[02:12] Person 1
    It's burning.
[02:13] Person 2
    Lady Izayoi's mansion...
[02:16] Riku
    Oh. I didn't make it in time.
[02:21] Riku
    The Great Dog-Demon is dead.
[04:06] Towa Higurashi
    "Secret of the Rainbow Pearls"
[04:10] Zero
    You're telling me he died?
[04:12] Zero
    How could that be? That's impossible.
[04:16] Zero
    Were we demons not fated to
     journey an endless path?
[04:21] Zero
    To wander through an eternal destiny?
[04:24] Zero
    Damn it all.
[04:25] Zero
    So the Shikon Jewel's ominous prophecy
    has come true after all.
[04:31] Riku
    Madam. The Great Dog-Demon died.
[04:34] Riku
    But, Izayoi and the
    half-demon child survived.
[04:38] Zero
    I know.
[04:40] Zero
    Those who are loved
    are fated to end in beauty.
[04:44] Riku
    What's that, coming from your eyes?
     It's very... pretty.
[04:50] Zero
    You think these are pretty?!
    You have such poor taste, you know that?
[04:54] Riku
    Taste?
[04:55] Zero
    Try and use that head of yours!
[04:59] Riku
    My head?
[05:04] Zero
    I don't need demon powers.
     I don't want this grief.
[05:07] Zero
    In fact, I don't even want this heart.
[05:09] Zero
    And I shall never shed
    these wretched tears again.
[05:13] Zero
    Shikon Jewel. Grant me my wish!
[05:24] Riku
    Those are pretty.
[05:30] Zero
    These seven Rainbow Pearls
[05:33] Zero
    contain my demon powers
    and the power of the Shikon Jewel.
[05:37] Zero
    Good riddance.
    Now I am no longer a demon.
[05:41] Riku
    Madam.
[05:42] Zero
    What is it?
[05:43] Riku
    You're not sad?
[05:46] Zero
    About what?
[05:49] Riku
    No... It's nothing.
[05:57] Riku
    It's been two hundred years.
[05:58] Riku
    Madam.
[06:00] Riku
    I only have three for now.
[06:03] Riku
    But it won't be long
    until I have all seven.
[06:07] Setsuna
    Do you understand, Towa?
     Don't go anywhere tonight. I mean it.
SIGN    KIRARA HISUI

[06:11] Towa Higurashi
    KIRARA HISUI
     I know, I know!
[06:13] Setsuna
    I'll be back as soon as I'm done.
[06:15] Setsuna
    DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA
    I'll be back as soon as I'm done.
[06:16] Setsuna
    DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA
    Be as good as Kirara usually is!
[06:18] Setsuna
    Be as good as Kirara usually is!
[06:19] Towa Higurashi
    I already said I know!
[06:21] Hisui
    You're done?
[06:23] Setsuna
    Yes.
[06:23] Hisui
    Kirara.
[06:28] Hisui
    That was more of a
     thorough warning than usual.
[06:31] Setsuna
    That's because tonight...
[06:34] Setsuna
    is the night of the new moon,
     the night she turns human.
[06:38] Towa Higurashi
    Geez.
[06:40] Towa Higurashi
    She's treating me like I'm a kid.
[06:42] Towa Higurashi
    And I'm the one who's older.
[06:43] Towa Higurashi
    KAEDE TOWA HIGURASHI
     And I'm the one who's older.
SIGN    KAEDE TOWA HIGURASHI

[06:45] Kaede
    KAEDE TOWA HIGURASHI
     You remind me of her.
[06:46] Kaede
    You remind me of her.
[06:47] Towa Higurashi
    Of who? Setsuna?
[06:49] Kaede
    No. You're just like your mother.
[06:52] Towa Higurashi
    Granny Kaede, you know our mother?
[06:56] Kaede
    I know her very well.
     We lived together for many years.
[07:01] Towa Higurashi
    Since Setsuna and I are half-demons,
     our mother was a human, right?
[07:05] Kaede
    Her name is Rin,
     and she was a very kind soul.
[07:10] Kaede
    However, some time after she
     gave birth to the two of you...
[07:15] Kaede
    She suddenly disappeared.
[07:19] Kaede
    I don't know if someone took her away,
     or if she left on her own.
[07:26] Kaede
    It has been about fourteen years since then.
[07:30] Towa Higurashi
    I wonder if she died?
[07:32] Kaede
    That may be so.
[07:34] Towa Higurashi
    That's pretty cold of you to say.
[07:37] Kaede
    I'm sorry. In our current day,
     I am all too familiar with life and death.
[07:44] Towa Higurashi
    I see. Sorry, I really don't
     understand anything, huh?
[07:50] Kaede
    Just like your mother Rin,
    you're a kind child.
[07:53] Kaede
    I hope you at least
     get some good rest tonight.
[07:56] Towa Higurashi
    Okay, thank you.
[07:59] Towa Higurashi
    Good night.
[08:07] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna.
[08:12] Towa Higurashi
    It's the Sacred Tree.
[08:18] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, could this be...
[08:22] Towa Higurashi
    Could this person be our mother?
[08:33] Towa Higurashi
    The new moon hasn't ended yet.
[08:36] Towa Higurashi
    Huh? What's that light?
[08:39] Towa Higurashi
    It's the butterfly!
     The same one from my dream.
[08:44] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, Dream Butterfly.
[08:47] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, this is the Forest of the Tree of Ages.
[08:50] Towa Higurashi
    This is just like what I saw in my dream.
SIGN    SPIRIT FROM THE DREAM WORLD – DREAM BUTTERFLY
[08:58] Towa Higurashi
    I lost sight of it.
[09:00] Towa Higurashi
    The Tree of Ages...
[09:03] Towa Higurashi
    I had always looked up at this tree
    back in my time.
[09:07] Towa Higurashi
    Higurashi Shrine will be built here
    500 years from now, won't it?
[09:12] Towa Higurashi
    But I feel like this forest isn't
    the one Setsuna and I grew up in.
[09:19] Towa Higurashi
    It's cold. Let's see...
[09:22] Towa Higurashi
    I should have some hand warmers...
[09:26] Towa Higurashi
    What are these?
[09:31] Totetsu
    Tonight is a new moon.
SIGN    ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – TOTETSU

[09:33] Totetsu
    ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – TOTETSU
     According to Konton,
[09:35] Totetsu
    ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – TOTETSU
     that Half-Demon Princess
[09:36] Totetsu
    that Half-Demon Princess
[09:37] Totetsu
    loses her powers
    on the night of a new moon.
[09:40] Totetsu
    Tonight is the perfect night
    to take my revenge!
[09:44] Totetsu
    Rainbow Pearl, lead me to
    the Half-Demon Princess!
[09:53] Totetsu
    Around there, huh?
[09:59] Towa Higurashi
    Are these fireflies?
[10:07] Towa Higurashi
    Wait. Fireflies? In the winter?
[10:11] Riku
    I hope you liked them.
[10:14] Towa Higurashi
    Riku?
[10:16] Riku
    Good evening, Lady Towa.
[10:19] Riku
    Oh my, do my eyes deceive me?
[10:22] Riku
    You look exceptionally beautiful
    tonight, Lady Towa.
[10:26] Towa Higurashi
    O-Oh, you think so?
[10:28] Riku
    Your left eye in particular
     is sparkling more than usual.
[10:36] Riku
    So the Silver Pearl lies much deeper
     within your eye, then.
[10:43] Riku
    Damn. Looks like
    I won't be able to retrieve it tonight.

[10:57] Riku
    Okay, it's boiled.
[10:59] Towa Higurashi
    Thanks. That's handy, huh?
[11:05] Towa Higurashi
    Sorry, we'll have to share one.
[11:08] Towa Higurashi
    Here's some black tea.
     It's from a tea bag, though.
[11:12] Riku
    Thank you kindly.
[11:15] Riku
    This is delicious!
     I've never had tea this delicious before.
[11:19] Towa Higurashi
    It's Darjeeling.
[11:21] Towa Higurashi
    I actually like Earl Grey more, but...
[11:24] Towa Higurashi
    This is good.
[11:28] Towa Higurashi
    I thought fireflies were only around
     during the summer.
[11:31] Riku
    You're right.
    Fireflies don't fly in the wintertime.
[11:36] Towa Higurashi
    They're gone.
[11:37] Riku
    Those who are loved
    are fated to end in beauty.
[11:42] Riku
    Fleeting, aren't they?
     The lives of winter fireflies.
[11:46] Riku
    And so, too, are the lives of humans.
[11:49] Riku
    They burn up and vanish in an instant.
[11:52] Riku
    Is that what makes them so beautiful?
[11:56] Towa Higurashi
    Riku, you say some
    complicated things, huh?
[12:00] Riku
    The madam who took care of me
     used to talk about it often.
[12:05] Towa Higurashi
    Wow! What an amazing starry sky!
[12:08] Riku
    The one who used to be my master
     enjoyed looking up at the stars.
[12:13] Towa Higurashi
    Your master sounds like a romanticist.
[12:17] Riku
    I don't know about that, but he
    holds a bit of reverence for the sky.
[12:24] Riku
    But right now,
    we both want the same thing,
[12:27] Riku
    so I've been distancing myself from him.
[12:30] Towa Higurashi
    The same thing?
    What do you want, Riku?
[12:33] Riku
    Well, it's the Rainbow Pearls of course.
[12:36] Towa Higurashi
    Rainbow Pearls?
[12:38] Riku
    These here.
    There are seven in total.
[12:42] Riku
    What happens if you gather all of them?
[12:45] Riku
    Who knows? All seven Rainbow Pearls
     have never been gathered before.
[12:51] Riku
    Your powers would increase,
    I suppose.
[12:53] Towa Higurashi
    Is that all?
[12:57] Riku
    Or perhaps a devastating
     Degenerate Age could begin.
[13:01] Riku
    Maybe...
[13:03] Riku
    But you could say that our world
     has already become corrupted.
[13:08] Towa Higurashi
    A lot of demons are after them, right?
[13:11] Towa Higurashi
    We've been attacked for
    our Pearls a few times.
[13:14] Riku
    The truth is, these are the tears
     of the madam who took care of me.
[13:18] Towa Higurashi
    Tears? So her tears turned into pearls?
[13:22] Riku
    Yes. I want to gather all seven of them
     and return them to her.
[13:28] Towa Higurashi
    I see.
[13:30] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, does that mean you're after
    my, Setsuna's, and Moroha's Pearls too?
[13:35] Riku
    Oh dear, you got me there!
[13:38] Riku
    It seems it'll have to be that way.
[13:40] Riku
    If you remain calm,
     I can remove it without hurting you.
[13:46] Totetsu
    There you are!
[13:48] Totetsu
    Totetsu turns up out of the blue!
[13:51] Towa Higurashi
    W-Was that a joke?
[13:54] Riku
    What a complete lack of taste.
[13:58] Towa Higurashi
    Ouch.
[13:58] Totetsu
    Riku? You were here, too?
     You should've just died.
[14:04] Riku
    Wretched bug.
     You got in the way of our date!
[14:08] Riku
    I won't forgive you for this!
[14:10] Totetsu
    You're the one who's wretched,
     you piece of trash.
[14:13] Totetsu
    Don't get cheeky with me!
[14:15] Towa Higurashi
    Riku!
[14:16] Riku
    This is why I hate you.
[14:18] Riku
    I accept this fight!
[14:22] Totetsu
    I wonder what you taste like?
[14:25] Totetsu
    Maybe you'd taste
     the same as Lord Kirinmaru?
[14:29] Towa Higurashi
    What? Riku and Kirinmaru
     would taste the same?
[14:32] Riku
    Why don't you shut your mouth?!
[14:34] Totetsu
    Guess I'll find out by eating you!
SIGN    POISON BEES OF THE DEAD – MIASMA BUGS
[14:48] Riku
    Have some poison bees instead!
[14:54] Totetsu
    Damn miasma bugs!
[15:09] Riku
    Are you okay?
[15:10] Towa Higurashi
    Th-Thank you.
[15:18] Towa Higurashi
    Riku!
[15:20] Towa Higurashi
    Riku! Hang in there.
[15:30] Totetsu
    Damn you.
[15:34] Towa Higurashi
    Are you okay?
[15:35] Riku
    Yes.
[15:36] Towa Higurashi
    Hey, who is Kirinmaru to you?
[15:39] Riku
    Kirinmaru is the one
     who used to be my master.
[15:42] Towa Higurashi
    You mean that romanticist
     you were talking about earlier?
[15:46] Riku
    Well, I suppose so, yes.
[15:49] Riku
    I was thrown away by my master.
[15:52] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, no.
[15:53] Riku
    I've only survived this far because of
    the madam who took care of me.
[16:03] Towa Higurashi
    The blood's not stopping.
[16:05] Riku
    Damn it. Miasma bug poison
     is a real pain.
[16:11] Towa Higurashi
    But why would you continue
     to help me like this?
[16:14] Towa Higurashi
    You know I'm Kirinmaru's enemy, right?
[16:17] Riku
    I wonder why.
     I can't seem to understand it myself.
[16:22] Riku
    There's really no reason
    to be protecting you.
[16:27] Riku
    On the contrary, if I love you,
     then I should've killed you by now.
[16:32] Riku
    Maybe I don't have enough love yet.
[16:36] Riku
    I'm no good at this.
[16:39] Riku
    Understanding love is
     far beyond a doll like me.
[16:43] Towa Higurashi
    Hang in there.
[16:44] Towa Higurashi
    I don't really understand
     romantic love, either.
[16:47] Towa Higurashi
    But if it's liking someone,
    then I think I might.
[16:52] Riku
    This way.
[17:00] Towa Higurashi
    Riku, are you okay?
[17:02] Riku
    Lady Towa, please run away.
[17:05] Totetsu
    You castaway puppet! You still betray us?
[17:08] Totetsu
    Lady Zero, Lord Kirinmaru, and I
     will never forgive you for your actions!
[17:16] Riku
    Good grief. This really isn't to my taste!
[17:22] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[17:24] Setsuna

    What?

    Towa!
[17:40] Setsuna
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
     Towa!
[17:40] Moroha
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
     Are you okay?
[17:41] Towa Higurashi
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
     You two!
[17:42] Totetsu
    Ow, ouch.
[17:44] Totetsu
    It's the Half-Demon Princesses.
[17:48] Towa Higurashi
    Geez, the both of you are late!
[17:51] Moroha
    Are you kidding me?
     We've been looking all over for you!
[17:54] Setsuna
    Didn't I tell you not to wander off?!
[17:57] Towa Higurashi
    Sorry.
[18:02] Towa Higurashi
    The sun is up!
[18:09] Towa Higurashi
    Okay, Totetsu of the Four Perils,
     sorry this is sudden, but...
[18:12] Moroha
    Let's settle this quick!
[18:14] Setsuna
    I hope you're ready.
[18:18] Totetsu
    You're kidding.
     I've got plans to live a long life.
[18:28] Totetsu
    I'll swallow all of you at once!
[18:44] Riku
    I only kill the ones I love.
[18:48] Riku
    However...
[18:51] Riku
    I'll have to make an exception for you.
[18:56] Towa Higurashi
    Riku!
[18:58] Riku
    I'm so glad you're okay, Lady Towa.
[19:01] Riku
    I was so scared that I couldn't help myself.
[19:05] Setsuna
    Step away.
     You have the same scent as Kirinmaru.
[19:09] Riku
    What's this?
    Yet another tasteless comment.
[19:19] Towa Higurashi
    Riku!
[19:22] Towa Higurashi
    I may not know about love, but I do know
    what it means to like someone.
[19:27] Towa Higurashi
    And I know that I like you, Riku!
[19:36] Riku
    This is...
[19:39] Riku
    The Silver Pearl?
[19:41] Riku
    Lady Towa.
[19:46] Riku
    What a tremendously tasteful
    thing for you to do.
[19:50] Towa Higurashi
    Give my regards
     to that madam of yours.
[19:52] Towa Higurashi
    But can you overlook
     Setsuna and Moroha's Pearls?
[19:57] Riku
    You're a strange person, Lady Towa.
[20:00] Towa Higurashi
    You think so?
     I think you're pretty strange, too.
[20:04] Riku
    As a living being,
     I'm an imitation at best.
[20:07] Towa Higurashi
    Imitation?
[20:10] Riku
    Yes.
[20:12] Towa Higurashi
    I can barely call myself a half-demon,
     so I don't think you have to worry.
[20:18] Towa Higurashi
    You're just you, Riku.
[20:19] Riku
    I'm just me, you say?
[20:23] Riku
    For an abandoned puppet like me,
     those words are too kind.
[20:26] Riku
    Lady Towa.
[20:27] Riku
    Thank you for your Rainbow Pearl.
     If fate allows it, we shall meet again.
[20:35] Moroha
    Hey, hey.
[20:37] Moroha
    I can't believe you'd hand over
     your treasured Pearl. But...
[20:43] Moroha
    I wonder if I can take
     Totetsu's head here?
[20:45] Moroha
    If so, then Mr. Riku sure is a nice fellow.
[20:55] Totetsu
    I'll eat you.
[20:58] Moroha
    How are you gonna do that
    when you don't have a belly?
[21:01] Moroha
    Give up already.
[21:04] Moroha
    No more worrying
    about food for a while!
[21:08] Setsuna
    Was that really okay?
     Handing over your Pearl like that?
[21:11] Towa Higurashi
    The Silver Pearl is mine, after all.
     And even without it,
[21:17] Towa Higurashi
    I still have enough demon power.
[21:19] Setsuna
    That's not it.
[21:21] Setsuna
    With those Rainbow Pearls,
    he'll have immense demon power.
[21:25] Towa Higurashi
    He's just giving them back
     to their rightful owner.
[21:28] Setsuna
    We can only hope that the rightful owner
     won't use them for evil.
[21:32] Moroha
    And wasn't Mr. Riku working with Kirinmaru?
[21:38] Towa Higurashi
    That's right!
[21:40] Towa Higurashi
    Riku!
[21:42] Towa Higurashi
    I changed my mind!
     Give me back my Silver Pearl!
[21:56] Towa Higurashi
    Riku! Wait!

    Azusa no Yumihari!
[23:33] Zero
    Lend me the fruits of your training,
     the power of the seal.
[23:37] Towa Higurashi
    A woman who calls herself Otsuyu breaks
    the seal that Monk Miroku cast on Setsuna.
[23:42] Setsuna
    It's those eyes that were
    staring at me while I dreamt!
[23:45] Zero
    The seething of blood will
    invite demonic frenzy.
[23:48] Moroha
    Setsuna's way too strong!
