    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] Vassal A
    Who goes there?
[00:47] Konton
    See that tree over yonder.
[00:49] Konton
    Historically significant, yet so distasteful.
[00:51] Konton
    Menial flies, be gone.
[00:54] Vassal B
    What did you say?

SIGN    CORPSE DEALER

[03:08] Jyubei
    CORPSE DEALER
     One of the fortresses of
[03:10] Jyubei
    a certain commander
    has been destroyed.
[03:12] Moroha & Setsuna & Towa
    A certain commander?
SIGN    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA

[03:15] Moroha
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
     As in, one of those monkeys?
[03:18] Jyubei
    No.
SIGN    CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI

[03:20] Jyubei
    CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI
    They keep sending soldiers to
[03:21] Jyubei
    survey the situation, but none return.
[03:23] Jyubei
    They think this might be the work of demons,
    so they came to me.
SIGN    SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI

[03:28] Jyubei
    SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI
     So, how about it?
[03:30] Moroha
    SETSUNA TOWA HIGURASHI
     That depends on the payment.
[03:31] Jyubei
    If you slay the demons, the commander
    will pay one thousand mon coins.
[03:37] Moroha
    I'm in.
[03:38] Jyubei
    Takechiyo.
[03:39] Jyubei
    Go ahead and take them there.
[03:40] Jyubei
    TAKECHIYO
    Go ahead and take them there.
[03:41] Takechiyo
    TAKECHIYO
    Yep.
[03:42] Moroha
    TAKECHIYO
    Okay, let's go.
[03:44] Moroha
    Okay, let's go.
[03:46] Moroha
    Hey, what's wrong?
    Come on, let's go.
[03:49] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna and I aren't really interested
     in bounty hunting.
[03:53] Moroha
    You aren't interested?!
[03:54] Moroha
    But it's one thousand mon.
    That's a year's worth of rice!
[03:58] Setsuna
    You can eat that by yourself.
[04:00] Moroha
    Yeah, I'll eat all that rice
    on my own... Not!
[04:05] Moroha
    Just come with me already!
[04:06] Towa & Moroha
    – Let's just split up for today.
    – Why?
[04:10] Towa Higurashi
    We have different goals, or something?
[04:13] Moroha
    What does that even mean?
[04:14] Setsuna
    Why must we go with you
    in the first place?
[04:18] Moroha
    Well, that's because, uh...
    because we're comrades?
[04:22] Setsuna
    Comrades?
[04:24] Setsuna
    Demon slaying and bounty hunting
    are different things.
[04:29] Moroha
    Fine, be that way!
    I can take care of this job all by myself.
[04:34] Moroha
    Damn you, you bunch of dummies.
    Your mama's a human!
[04:41] Setsuna
    Yours is too.
[04:42] Moroha
    Come on, Takechiyo.
[04:44] Takechiyo
    Hey, you're going the wrong way,
    it's that way!
[04:48] Jyubei
    So?
[04:49] Towa Higurashi
    Did you find out anything
    about the Dream Butterfly?
[04:53] Setsuna
    Enough of that already.
[04:54] Towa Higurashi
    But I have to.
[04:55] Towa Higurashi
    I came to this world to get your dreams
    back from the Dream Butterfly.
[05:01] Jyubei
    As usual, I don't have anything.
[05:03] Towa & Jyubei
    – Not even a little?
    – Sorry.
[05:05] Jyubei
    But if you really want results,
    why not put out a bounty for it?
[05:10] Jyubei
    That is how my business works, after all.
[05:14] Jyubei
    A client pays money,
    and someone fulfills their request.
[05:19] Jyubei
    If you put a bounty out for the Dream Butterfly,
    I'm sure someone will go look for it.
[05:25] Towa Higurashi
    How much would I have to pay?
[05:27] Setsuna
    Towa, stop it.
[05:28] Jyubei
    A Dream Butterfly would be
    one thousand mon.
[05:31] Towa Higurashi
    One thousand mon?
[05:32] Setsuna
    A year's worth of rice.
[05:34] Towa Higurashi
    One koku, a year's worth, is ten tou,
[05:36] Towa Higurashi
    one hundred shou,
    or one thousand gou.
[05:39] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, how many kilograms
    is a thousand gou?
[05:41] Setsuna
    It's quite the amount.
[05:43] Towa Higurashi
    So do you have a bounty
    that would fetch me that price?
[05:48] Jyubei
    For now, there's only
    that one job I gave to Moroha.
[05:55] Setsuna
    You can't be serious...
[05:57] Moroha
    Geez, what's with them?
[06:00] Moroha
    I was just thinking that since we're cousins,
[06:02] Moroha
    I'd try to get along with them
    like relatives normally would.
[06:07] Moroha
    But then I get treated like that.
[06:11] Moroha
    And here I was, finally thinking
    that I'd made some friends,
[06:17] Moroha
    since I've been all alone
    this whole time, so...
[06:22] Moroha
    You wouldn't understand.
[06:24] Moroha
    Quarter-demons have it pretty
    rough if we're alone.
[06:28] Towa Higurashi
    Hey! Moroha!
[06:31] Towa Higurashi
    Wait for us!
[06:36] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha, we'll go with you!
[06:42] Moroha
    Come on, Takechiyo, let's hurry up.
[06:44] Takechiyo
    We're not going to wait for them?
[06:46] Moroha
    I said hurry up. Go!
[06:49] Towa Higurashi
    Wait, what?
[06:50] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha! Hey!
[07:00] Towa Higurashi
    Why did you run from us?
[07:03] Moroha
    Takechiyo just suddenly booked it,
    you know? Blame him.
[07:07] Takechiyo
    No, I didn't...
[07:11] Moroha
    So? What did you want,
    chasing after me and all?
[07:15] Towa Higurashi
    We'll help with your bounty hunting.
[07:17] Moroha
    But you said you didn't want to.
[07:19] Towa Higurashi
    Well, the thing is...
[07:21] Setsuna
    We thought about it,
    and consider you a reliable friend.
[07:24] Moroha
    What? Oh, really?
[07:26] Setsuna
    Let's slay demons together.
[07:28] Moroha
    Well, if you put it that way,
    then I guess I have no choice!
[07:32] Moroha
    Sure, I'll bring you two along.
[07:34] Towa Higurashi
    Thanks a lot, Moroha.
[07:36] Moroha
    All right, Takechiyo.
[07:38] Takechiyo
    The fortress should be up ahead.
[07:40] Takechiyo
    I'm spent, so I'm going to head home.
[07:43] Towa Higurashi
    If you're heading back,
    can you take this bicycle with you?
[07:56] Moroha
    Is that it?
[07:59] Moroha
    Something's here.
[08:01] Towa Higurashi
    You're right. It smells fishy, literally.
[08:04] Setsuna
    Not much demon energy, though.

[08:12] Setsuna
    What are you doing?
[08:14] Towa Higurashi
    H-Hey.
[08:16] Moroha
    Leave him be. It's just some kid.
[08:19] Setsuna
    The real thing is over there.
[08:38] Konton
    I thought it would be
    another boorish group of samurai,
[08:41] Konton
    but instead I see a trio of mysterious girls.
[08:45] Towa Higurashi
    Excuse me, are you the one who destroyed
    the fortress that was here?
[08:50] Konton
    I did not destroy it.
    It was distasteful, so I simply removed it.
[08:54] Konton
    Behold, this wonderful scenery!
[08:57] Moroha
    Yeah, it's definitely him.
[08:59] Konton
    Girls, if you would perform a dance for me,
    then I can perhaps reward you.
[09:05] Moroha
    Hah! A dance?
    You've got to be kidding.
[09:08] Moroha
    You'll be the one dancing for us!
[09:11] Moroha
    Moroha the Demon Killer, here to
    collect the bounty on your head.
[09:15] Konton
    Bounty? There's a bounty
    on this Konton's head?
[09:21] Konton
    Distasteful! Absolutely distasteful.
[09:24] Moroha
    Konton?
[09:25] Setsuna
    So he's Kirinmaru's underling?
[09:27] Towa Higurashi
    To run into him in this situation...
    What should we do?
[09:31] Moroha
    We'll take him down, obviously.
[09:32] Meifuku
    Watch out!
SIGN    WIND LION THUNDER LION
[09:42] Konton
    Half-demons. I will not go easy on you.
[09:59] Moroha
    You think you can keep parrying like that?
    Your belly's wide open.
[10:06] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha!
[10:08] Moroha
    Kurikaramaru couldn't cut through it?
    What kind of demon magic is this?
[10:13] Towa Higurashi
    If so, I'll absorb the demon power.
[10:20] Towa Higurashi
    I can't absorb its power?
[10:24] Konton
    This is not a matter
    of demon energy or demon magic.
[10:27] Konton
    This is an especially sturdy armor,
    and will not crack from any hit it takes.
[10:31] Konton
    Not even a diamond will pierce through.
[10:35] Konton
    And behold this divine sword
    from ancient times.
[10:47] Konton
    Do not put me in the same league
    as this country's demons.
[11:03] Konton
    How dare you, so distasteful.
[11:08] Konton
    After them.
[11:25] Towa Higurashi
    Where is this...
[11:26] Moroha
    More importantly,
    who the heck is this shrimp here?
[11:30] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha, you're being rude.
    Remember, he saved us.
[11:34] Towa Higurashi
    We saw each other earlier, right?
    What's your name?
[11:38] Meifuku
    My name is Meifuku. I'm a Meioju.
[11:42] Setsuna
    Meioju. Your kind sports the
    sturdiest shell among all the demons.
[11:49] Moroha
    The sturdiest? You don't mean...
[11:51] Meifuku
    Please look over there.
[11:57] Moroha
    Whoa, what the hell?
[12:00] Moroha
    Man, that's a huge creature.
[12:02] Towa Higurashi
    Are these the bones of a demon?
[12:06] Meifuku
    The remains of my father.
[12:08] Meifuku
    My father was quite
    the exceptional demon,
[12:11] Meifuku
    but Konton had laid a trap
    using a strange spell.
SIGN    GREAT DEMON WITH THE ULTIMATE ARMORED SHELL – MEIOJU
[12:25] Konton
    How distasteful. Take this!
[12:29] Meioju
    Nothing can pierce my armored shell.
[12:34] Meioju
    Dark Lightning Cannon!
[12:39] Meioju
    Did you think you could defeat this Meioju?
[12:51] Konton
    I laid out an immobilizing field.
    You can no longer move.
[13:09] Konton
    I have now acquired Meioju's armored shell.
[13:13] Meioju
    Damn you.
[13:20] Meifuku
    F-Father!
[13:24] Meioju
    Run, Meifuku!
[13:33] Meifuku
    Konton killed my father
    and took his armored shell.
[13:38] Meifuku
    He used that shell
    to create a suit of armor.
[13:43] Towa Higurashi
    So that's what that suit of armor is.
[13:45] Moroha
    But how do you shape an
    armored shell into a suit of armor?
[13:52] Moroha
    Grandpa Myoga?
[13:53] Myoga
    I live!
[13:53] Myoga
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
     I live!
[13:54] Myoga
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
    Konton and the other Four Perils
[13:56] Myoga
    are from the mainland,
[13:58] Myoga
    so the spells they use are similar
     to Tao magic and Fang magic.
[14:03] Moroha
    Oh, you researched it?
[14:05] Myoga
    Konton probably extracted
    the shell's demon energy,
[14:08] Myoga
    and used a spell technique to
    mold it into a suit of armor.
[14:12] Myoga
    I was just so focused
    on running away back then.
[14:17] Meifuku
    I don't want to leave things as they are.
[14:19] Meifuku
    I wish to avenge my father,
    so I've been following Konton around.
[14:24] Meifuku
    But...
[14:25] Meifuku
    I don't think I can win at all.
[14:27] Meifuku
    If I could at least take back my father's shell
    and send him off properly...
[14:32] Towa Higurashi
    How long have you been
    following him around?
[14:35] Meifuku
    Maybe around ten years.
[14:36] Moroha
    Ten years? That's too long.
[14:38] Meifuku
    But I'm just barely fifty years old.
[14:41] Towa Higurashi
    You're older than me?
    You're fifty years old?!
[14:44] Meifuku
    I'm so young that my
    armored shell is only a single layer.
[14:48] Moroha
    If fifty's not enough,
    how much longer do you need?
[14:51] Meifuku
    Ideally, another fifty years...
[14:53] Moroha
    You're kidding me.
[14:55] Moroha
    – Your armored shell is sturdy enough!
    – Please stop!
[14:58] Moroha
    Remove it, I'll use it instead.
[15:01] Meifuku
    It's not something I can just remove!
[15:04] Meifuku
    I can't! It's impossible!
[15:05] Moroha
    Then stand in front of me
    and become my shield.
[15:08] Meifuku
    I'd rather not!
[15:09] Setsuna
    They've caught up to us.
[15:17] Moroha
    Is it just the pets?
[15:25] Meifuku
    Konton.
[15:26] Setsuna
    It is indeed a strange spell.
[15:28] Moroha
    Grandpa Myoga,
    it might be better if you hid.
[15:31] Myoga
    Here I go, goodbye!
[15:33] Konton
    So it's Meioju's little brat.
[15:36] Konton
    After all this time,
    you still bare your fangs at me?
[15:39] Meifuku
    I... um...
[15:42] Moroha
    You betcha! Meifuku here says
    he's going to beat you and take his revenge.
[15:48] Konton
    I see. Vengeance, is it?
[15:50] Meifuku
    But I'm not ready...
[15:52] Moroha
    Go on! Tell him you want
    your dad's armored shell back.
[15:55] Meifuku
    Well, yes, I would like to do that one day.
[16:00] Konton
    Are you saying that
    you can defeat me?
[16:03] Moroha
    Don't worry about it, we'll help you out.
[16:07] Moroha
    We'll defeat him and
    get one thousand mon coins.
[16:10] Moroha
    Even better, if we take his head back,
    we can get a gold ingot!
[16:13] Moroha
    So here, go on now!
[16:16] Meifuku
    I'll avenge my father... So Konton...
[16:24] Moroha
    Geez, you're so helpless.
    Just become my shield, then.
[16:28] Meifuku
    O-Okay.
[16:33] Towa Higurashi
    Huh? Me?
[16:35] Moroha
    Hey, you.
[16:36] Meifuku
    That person is scary,
    so I'll just be your armor, okay?
[16:49] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[16:57] Setsuna
    Moroha!
[17:01] Setsuna
    Cyclone Burst!
[17:06] Setsuna
    What?
[17:07] Konton
    Divine Speed.
[17:14] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna!
[17:19] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna!
[17:21] Moroha
    It can't be helped. It's come to this.
[17:25] Moroha
    With this rouge, I become
    Beniyasha, Destroyer of Lands!
[17:30] Moroha
    Tremble before the bloodthirsty dawn!
[17:31] Konton
    Divine Speed.
[17:35] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha!
[17:36] Konton
    Divine Speed!
[17:41] Towa Higurashi
    Your armored shell's doing its job!
[17:43] Towa Higurashi
    All right, let's go all at once.
[17:56] Towa Higurashi
    Meifuku, your armored shell
    is just as sturdy as your dad's!
[18:00] Meifuku
    This is nothing compared to my father's.
[18:03] Meifuku
    Even with its demon energy removed,
    his is still just as sturdy.
[18:08] Towa Higurashi
    So its demon energy was removed, huh?
[18:12] Konton
    Exploding field!
[18:17] Setsuna
    Towa!
[18:22] Konton
    You must know you cannot
    absorb its demon energy!
[18:25] Towa Higurashi
    Yeah, that armored shell
    doesn't have any demon energy.
[18:29] Towa Higurashi
    So I'll give you...
[18:32] Towa Higurashi
    some of mine!
[18:39] Meioju
    Damn you, Konton! Damn you!
[18:43] Meifuku
    Father?
[18:45] Konton
    Divine Speed!
[18:50] Meioju
    Meifuku. My dear Meifuku.
    Fire a Dark Lightning Cannon.
[18:55] Meifuku
    Father! It's really you, isn't it?
[18:58] Meifuku
    But my Dark Lightning Cannon is still...
[19:02] Meioju
    It'll be fine.
[19:04] Meioju
    From this distance,
    your Dark Lightning Cannon will be enough.
[19:07] Meifuku
    But then, Father, you'll get...
[19:10] Meioju
    Please, put your father at ease, Meifuku.
[19:13] Konton
    I will not allow it! Exploding field!
[19:15] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, no.
[19:19] Konton
    What?
[19:20] Moroha
    Don't you dare.
[19:22] Konton
    How distasteful.
[19:27] Meioju
    Now, Meifuku.
    Fire your Dark Lightning Cannon!
[19:31] Meifuku
    Father...
[19:33] Meifuku
    Dark Lightning Cannon!
[19:39] Towa Higurashi
    Now!
[19:53] Meifuku
    Father!
[19:55] Meioju
    You did well, Meifuku.
[19:58] Meifuku
    Father...
[20:05] Konton
    You managed to steal away my armor,
    but you've exhausted your demon energy.
[20:11] Konton
    Now die!
[20:14] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[20:18] Setsuna
    Cyclone Burst!
[20:28] Konton
    D-Damn you.
[20:30] Moroha
    Now I've got you!
[20:37] Moroha
    He got away.
[20:39] Setsuna
    I see. What a troublesome spell.
[20:43] Towa Higurashi
    Thanks, you two.
[20:45] Setsuna
    Are you all right?
[20:47] Towa Higurashi
    I think I used a bit too much demon energy.
[20:49] Myoga
    Lady Moroha.
[20:52] Myoga
    It's right here.
[20:54] Myoga
    Please don't forget it.
[21:08] Meifuku
    Thanks to you, I was able
    to get back my father's armored shell.
[21:12] Meifuku
    For now, I'll be praying
    for the departed souls.
[21:16] Moroha
    Just out of curiosity,
    how long will you do that for?
[21:21] Meifuku
    For about fifty years.
[21:27] Moroha
    I still can't believe Konton got away.
[21:31] Setsuna
    Looks like you can't collect your bounty.
[21:33] Towa Higurashi
    What? But we chased him away.
[21:35] Moroha
    We can't collect the bounty
    unless we have his head!
