Original subtitles

Since time immemorial, in this country,

demons and spirits that were born out of fear,

were called Grotesqueries,

and it brought misfortune to the people.

In the midst of the misfortune,

the Emperor, who possesses the strongest gift,

'Divine Revelation' the ability to predict the future is in charge of ruling the country.

The Emperor led the royal families who possessed various gifts

to subdue the Grotesqueries.

These gifted families that have evolved,

have been serving the Emperor for generations,

and continued to protect the country from the Grotesqueries.

But as things progressed,

the Grotesqueries that had faced an unfortunate end

were sealed away as 'insects',

in order to prevent any potential disasters

they were put in a special grave,

called the Burial Grounds.

The misfortune caused by the Grotesqueries is the legacy of the past.

This world is now in peace.

In this world, there are many different families various gifts,

and each family has its own unique bloodline.

The various families are constantly at odds with each other.

And I was also born as the eldest daughter of the family that inherited the gift.

One of the Saimori family.

My parents' marriage was political.

But as soon as I was born, my mother died of illness.

My father remarried his former lover,

and Kaya was born,

with a gift of Spirit-sight

the power to see Grotesqueries.

It's too bitter. Make me a new one.

I sincerely apologize.

Aren't you embarrassed to be soaked wet?

Kaya, it can't be helped.

She's the daughter of that woman.

I sincerely apologize.

Hurry up and wipe it off or it'll stain.

Yes.

When you're finished go change your clothes.

Everything is ready in your room.

My life's here will end today.

I don't think anyone will believe

this is my entire dowry.

I'm Maruzake.

I'd like to start with the kimono.

- Please come inside. - Excuse me.

Hello, Madam.

Please come in.

Excuse me.

Miyo?

What brings you here today?

I'm getting married,

to Lord Kudou Kiyoka.

It's too sudden, but the Kudou family...

I'm already 19 years old.

It's already late.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't do anything.

It's not your fault.

Maybe,

I will be happy if I get married,

What are you talking about?

What do you think?

It's perfect for our engagement party, isn't it?

It's wonderful.

Mr. Kouji, come quick.

I'm leaving.

Mother!

A happy future will not be waiting for me.

I'm looking forward to seeing my mother in heaven.

Presently,

I'm merely breathing.

Your Majesty.

Soon,

there will be unrest.

A rightful person to their rightful place.

Lord Kudou is known for his ruthlessness, isn't he?

If he doesn't like it,

no matter if it's a woman or a spirit, he'll cut them down.

He's been betrothed to the daughters of many prominent families

but they didn't even last three days before they ran away.

A daughter who looks exactly like that woman,

it's better if she disappears from this world.

Whether she is kicked out or cut to pieces,

she won't have a future either way.

Thank you very much.

The family I'm marrying into is one of the most prominent families

that can use multiple gifts.

The owner is 27 years old...

and said to be leading an army unit of gifted people.

[My Happy Marriage]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Saimori Miyo.

I'm used to being ignored or ignored.

The only thing I can do

is learn to live

in someone else's time.

How long are you going to stay that way?

I sincerely apologize.

I didn't ask you to apologize.

Lift your head.

You said your name was Miyo, right?

Yes.

Here, you must absolutely obey what I say.

If I tell you to leave, leave. If I tell you to die, die.

I won't listen to any complaints or rebuttals.

Yes, my Lord.

Mother!

I'm sorry, Miyo.

Forgive me for being useless.

But...

Even so, you...

"Even so, you..."

Good morning.

Lady Miyo?

I'm sorry.

I can't believe I let the future Mistress do this...

I'm sorry, I'm doing thing without permission.

Please don't say that, I'm the one who's causing you trouble.

I got up early...

I'm sorry.

My name is Yurie.

You've been a real help.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well then,

before the Young Master wakes up

let's get the other things done.

Okay.

Can I leave this place to you?

Yes.

If you don't mind.

You can use everything in the back.

Yes.

Good morning.

Young Master here's your breakfast.

Don't call me that.

Oh, that's right.

Put the paper down, young master.

Lady Miyo cooked for us this morning.

I see.

Yes.

Try it first.

Can't you eat it?

No, it's better that My Lord...

So it's probably poisoned, that's good to know.

Young Master!

I don't eat anything unless I know what's in it.

I'm really sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning.

[Anti-Grotesqueries Special Unit]

I'm coming in.

This is the list of applicants for the new intake.

Please choose atleast five.

I couldn't pick them without seeing their gifts.

This time it's full of people from prominent families.

Did your fiancée run away again?

Huh?

Or did you cry because you were scolded by Yurie?

No.

It's only been since yesterday.

So it's a new record! Congratulations.

She's not. Get out.

Get out of my way.

You were scolded by Yurie, weren't you?

She prepared it with all her heart.

I don't believe she is the type of person who would use poison.

Food made by someone I just met and don't trust.

There's no way I could eat it.

Lady Miyo is somehow different from the others.

I was really happy.

This is the first time I've met someone thoughtful

and willing to help me.

But there are still some things that are hard to understand.

A bird's familiar?

I found it in the garden this morning.

I see.

I found it when I was on patrol, it gives me the creeps.

I thought someone here would know what it is.

I've never seen this before.

Where's Mochizuki?

They're all here.

He's not here.

Stop it.

Stop panicking!

Idiot! Don't use your fire powers in the room!

2nd squad moving out.

3rd squad moving out.

[Army General Staff Headquarters - Director General] [Sudou Tsuguji]

Lord Sudou.

If I got this, it means we've a serious situation on our hands.

Thank you for your time.

I have something to show you.

[Ministry of the Imperial Household - Grand Steward] [Kamomura Norio]

- Take Mr. Tsuruki to his room. - Yes.

The insects who sleep in the Burial Grounds,

all of them died agonizing deaths in battle.

They're rebels who use their powers for evil.

They still hold a lingering attachment and hatred for this world.

Even after death, they retain tremendous power.

In other words, this insect

is a Grotesquerie that's unable to rest in peace.

You're right.

It was predicted that the insects would appear in the capital city.

I don't think this insect just appears by chance.

I think...

someone has exposed the Burial Grounds.

Well, breaking the seal on purpose

has caused so many insects to be released.

The Imperial Household Army has been deployed to catch the insects.

But we still don't know who did it.

We're conducting everything quietly

to prevent public confusion.

But we don't have enough manpower on our side.

I understand.

As for the insects in the capital city,

the Anti-Grotesquerie Special Unit will deal with them.

Pardon the intrusion.

This is Mr. Tsuruki from Tsuruki Trading.

It's an old trading company.

It's a trading company that's been around since the beginning of the country.

He's a civilian with no ties to government organizations

so he can move freely and also collect information.

I'm Tsuruki Arata.

He doesn't have any 'gift'.

But he became president at a young age.

His negotiating skills could help us a lot.

I look forward to working with you, Captain Kudou.

Thank you.

Welcome home.

I'm really sorry about this morning.

My Lord...

If I were to put myself in my Lord's position

I wouldn't eat food made

by someone you don't trust.

I overstepped my boundaries.

It feels like I'm forcing you to make amends.

It's not like that.

It's because I'm not being thorough.

The kimono is so tattered that it can't even be called old.

Her hands are covered in cracks

It's hard to think of her as a daughter of a prominent family.

A really odd girl has arrived.

I'm going to take a bath before dinner.

I'm terribly sorry, I haven't prepared the hot water...

It's fine, no one else can prepare it.

The Saimori family possesses the gift to control the wind, right?

Yes.

Then you've never seen a bath like this before, have you?

Inside the water?

It's a skill only the gifted can pull off.

Yesterday's hot water was also from you?

I'm sorry I didn't get to thank you.

Now is not the time to apologize.

Why do you immediately apologize?

- I'm sor... - Stop apologizing.

Excessive apologizing only cheapens it.

I was just trying to be cautious this morning.

You can make breakfast tomorrow.

But,

If you poison me, I won't let you off.

Yes.

What's this?

There are herbs inside, you have to add them every day.

Yes, my Lord.

Call me when it's ready.

When you say you're a daughter from the Saimori family,

Lord Kudou would surely think I have a gift.

I'm not good enough for Lord Kudou.

If Lord Kudou knows I don't have a gift

I'd probably be kicked out right away.

Kaya's Spirit-sight gift has manifested.

Kaya, you were terrified of seeing the Grotesqueries, weren't you?

Both of her parents have gifts, poor thing.

You don't even have a gift. You don't even have a gift.

Up until now, unless I prepared it myself,

Excuse me.

I wouldn't have any meal.

It's a nice day.

I've been doing it just to live every day.

It might not be to Lord Kudou's taste.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

It's good.

It's taste a little different from Yurie's.

Thank you...

very much.

Why are you crying?

I'm really sorry.

I told you, stop apologizing.

It's the first time someone

has praised my cooking.

It made me so happy.

I'm sorry.

Yurie I have a favour to ask.

When I come back, report to me on her day's routine.

I'll try to investigate the Saimori family from the outside.

Yes.

Have a nice trip.

What?

To royal family, who are the head of the gifted family,

a bloodline is a matter of great importance.

The Tatsuishi family inherited the gift to manipulate objects

and the Saimori family who can control the wind

are planning to form a marriage.

Mr. Kouji, which one do you like?

Mr. Kouji.

Which one do you like?

I think both of them are great.

Is this one too bold?

That's not what we talked before.

We agreed that Kouji would marry Kaya.

And Miyo was promised to our eldest son.

The day when the Kudou family abandons Miyo, I'll...

Miyo's mother was a woman with a powerful gift.

It's not certain that Miyo's child will not have any gift.

That's why you'll have to pay a little more for the betrothal money.

The money I paid to marry that girl's mother...

I have to get it back.

So, she was abused because she didn't have a 'gift'.

I guess it can't be help, it's a family that inherits gifts.

Please sign here.

- Godou... - Yes?

I didn't ask you to do any of this.

I'm faster and more capable than an informer.

Look.

Have you seen this?

[Mother - Usuba Sumi]

Come here.

Usuba Sumi is Miyo's mother?

She's from the Usuba family.

I also did some research on the Usuba family.

But I couldn't find anything.

The whole family has gone into hiding.

They all have the gift that interferes with people's minds.

Mr. Tsuruki.

I heard you've completed a security plan for the capital city.

Please wait at the information desk.

Why do you know about the Usuba family?

Because of my work,

I had a lot of opportunities to talk to people locally and from around the world.

Whether it's rumours or truths,

I've heard everything

What do you mean by interfering with people's minds?

They can make you hallucinate, a clairvoyant,

manipulate consciousness and memory.

It's a gift that has an effect on the human mind.

I've never heard of such a strange gift.

I'm curious if Mr. Kudou is their match.

I meant no offense.

I see.

But I was really surprised.

Mr. Kudou, who is rumored to be as cold as ice to women,

is interested in his fiancée.

Yurie, what did Miyo do?

After she helped me with some work,

in order not to be noticed by Yurie

she spent the entire day repairing rips on her kimono.

Also, she doesn't seem to be sleeping very well.

On my next day off, I'd like to go out to the city.

Yes.

Do you want to come along?

You haven't gone outside since you came here.

But I can't go.

I have nothing to do and I'm afraid I'm going to bother you...

If it happens, it happens.

If you don't want to, that's fine.

No, I didn't mean that...

Then it's settled.

I was never allowed to step out of the Saimori house,

so I don't know anything about the city.

I hope I don't do something to embarrass Lord Kudou.

You don't have to do so much.

What are you talking about?

If the buds are in front of you, you want to make them bloom.

Sit down.

Hold this.

Oh, the cracks have gotten a lot better.

Now that you mention it,

the herbs may have worked.

Herbs?

Lord Kudou told me to put it in the bath every time.

Young Master has always disliked herbal baths since he was a child.

Ah, so it's for me...

Let's make you look prettier.

Okay.

It's okay.

You don't have to run away.

I'm cunning.

Look at me.

I don't have a gift.

Even though I am aware that I don't have the right to accept it,

I'm afraid of being hated.

I'm sorry, it's almost finished.

Now it's time to put on lipstick.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you for waiting.

I'm sorry.

Let's go.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Welcome, Mr. Kudou.

I'll be in your care.

Regarding your request from our prior call,

we've chosen a few that meet the criteria.

Please come in.

I'll hold it for you.

Young Master Kudou has finally reached that age.

It's not like that.

This is the first time you've brought a woman here.

Don't mix one thing with another.

Let's go inside.

Good afternoon.

Welcome.

Do you like it?

Yes.

No, I just feel a little nostalgic.

This kimono reminds me of one that belonged to my mother.

What was your mother like?

I had one.

The one lives with the Saimori family is your stepmother, right?

Just now you mentioned your mother's kimono.

My mother passed away when I was two.

I barely remember her,

but I remember the sakura-colored kimono

and a long black hair.

I see.

So you resemble your mother.

My Lord, who do you resemble more?

People say I resemble my mother.

I don't really know.

What do you mean?

She's what I'd call a social butterfly.

She hardly ever stays at home.

My sister and I were brought up by Yurie.

As far as I'm concerned,

the definition of a mother is very vague to me.

We're the same.

I'm really sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

Raise your head, you don't need to feel small.

Rather than apologize, I want you to speak your mind.

I'll be happier.

The truth is, I'm not in a position to raise my head.

But,

I can't helped but wished for it.

To spend more time with this man.

That's better.

So, have you been sleeping well lately?

Yes.

Show me.

What's this?

It's shiny.

- It's glittering. - It's blue.

Are you all right?

The royal family has long been divided on who will succeed the family.

16 years ago,

the successor to the Emperor, Lord Takaihito was finally born.

The Kudou family, as the leader of the gifted families

has always been in contact with the royal family.

I've been Lord Takaihito playmate since he was a child.

The insects have made their appearance in the city.

But it's been retrieved and return to the Burial Grounds.

So far, no civilians were harmed.

Kiyoka, aren't you scared?

Your Highness.

Although still incomplete

I received a Divine Revelation.

And that is?

My father's death is imminent.

That was probably the last Revelation for now.

Kiyoka.

Don't die.

That's why we're here.

It's a promise.

Don't die.

Yes, Your Highness.

What happens in the Burial Grounds

will bring war and suffering to the capital city.

Kudou Kiyoka.

The Anti-Grotesquerie Special Unit must act as a shield

to protect the people.

Thank you for waiting.

Thank you very much.

You finally found a good place.

I'm going to get some ingredients.

Can you wait a minute?

Okay.

Ever since Lord Kudou took me out to the city

I've been thinking.

What can I do to repay him.

Sister.

I'm surprised you're still alive.

Kaya, let's go home.

You're still walking around in those filthy clothing.

Have you been abandoned by Lord Kudou?

I suppose it's better because you're still alive.

I...

You dare to talk back to me?

A useless person does not suit Lord Kudou.

You don't even have a gift.

I can't cry here.

If I show my weakness,

it'll only make her happy.

I sincerely apologize.

Kaya.

What a boring woman.

Be careful.

Slowly breathe in, concentrate on breathing out.

It's okay now.

The nightmare will soon be over.

Lady Miyo.

I'm fine.

Thank you for helping me.

Thank you very much.

Lord Kudou.

What brings you here today?

I want to clarify the relationship between Kudou and Saimori families.

What do you mean?

Normally, marriages for people like us are always political.

It is predicated on a predetermined level of interest.

But I'm a little reluctant to give you any kind of compensation.

That is...

Don't you understand?

I have a condition.

If you sincerely apologize to Miyo,

I will pay you a lot of money.

Apologize?

I won't force you, I'll just cut our family ties.

Could you,

let me think about it.

I won't wait long.

Which side are you on, Mr. Kouji?

I told you.

Mother, who is he?

That girl's fiancé.

What a beautiful man.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Mother, it hurts.

- How dare you call someone a thief? - Young Miss.

Young Miss, Young Miss.

- You burned my mother's kimono. - Please don't.

This family doesn't need anything from that woman!

I'm sorry.

Let me go.

I'm sorry.

Hana! You're fired!

No!

No! You burned my mother's kimono!

Shut up!

No, I don't want to be locked up!

Let me out! Open the door!

I'm coming in.

Miyo.

Miyo.

Miyo.

I'm sorry.

Cold hands.

No, I don't want to be locked up.

All the worries you're holding in,

will eventually disappear.

I have to tell the truth.

But...

Lady Miyo, is this a good time?

You have a visitor.

I hate

myself.

You've grown up.

I'm married.

I have two children.

I live with my husband and we both work in the fields.

I see.

You've found your happiness.

I'm glad.

Young Miss.

When you were facing a hard times.

I'm deeply sorry I wasn't there for you.

I've always felt ashamed to meet you.

I couldn't do anything to help and now I...

But the reason I still came here,

is because I wanted to witness Young Miss' happiness.

I really wanted to see

my precious, precious Young Miss

who had been through so much

to smile happily.

Hana.

I...

I don't have any gift.

That's why...

That's why I'm not worthy of being his wife.

I can't be here forever.

Young Miss.

Do you understand how I was able to come here

even though my relationship

with the Saimori family had ended?

When I heard the voice of a man coming out from this,

I was honestly surprised.

They say it's the voice of a member of Lord Kudou's unit.

Afterward, Lord Kudou came to our village to pick me up.

Lord Kudou?

Young Miss.

Lord Kudou is a really good man.

My Lord.

What... what is it?

My Lord.

There's something I haven't been able to tell you.

I...

I don't posses any gift.

While I inherited

my parents' bloodline,

I'm useless.

I only went to elementary school.

I was working as a servant in my parents' house.

I'm not educated,

and I can't do anything a prominent family's daughter can.

So...

I'm really not good enough for my Lord.

It's because of my own shortsightedness,

I've been hiding this from you.

I don't want to be thrown out.

If you tell me to die, I'll die.

If you tell me to leave, I'll leave.

I made this

with an apology and gratitude in mind.

If you don't want it,

you could throw it away or burn it.

Thank you for taking care of me all this time.

How long are you going to stay like that?

I don't care about the gift.

It's not necessary between us.

It will be problematic If you leave.

Because after some time, I plan to...

formally become engaged to you.

Don't you want to continue living here with me?

I'd like to stay here.

As long as you give me your permission...

There's no such thing as permission.

I'm the one who wants you to stay

not anyone else.

Could you tie my hair?

It's a beautiful color.

Thank you, Miyo.

You're welcome.

I won't be returning home as often in the upcoming days.

I understand.

Greetings, Father.

Come in.

Come closer.

I know...

what kind of face you would make.

Since childhood

you've been forced to carry the entire weight of this country.

I don't understand.

Whether you like it or not,

you'll understand it one day.

I've done a lot of things along the way.

In the future,

you have to continue to do all of them.

Yes.

Kudou from the Anti-Grotesquerie Special Unit,

I have to thank him, too.

Yes.

Be careful.

It's like they're infected with the insects.

Please step back.

The insects seem to be particularly responsive to gifted people.

I've tried everything.

As long as you don't get the insects out of their body

our skills is not going to work.

Instead, you'll hurt yourself.

Will the insects die if you kill the person?

How are they transmitted?

I don't know.

You say that the insects attach themselves to the mind in order to control the body.

There is no way to just kill off the insects...

Are you're going to stay here again and leave Lady Miyo alone?

It's none of your business.

Who was the one who sent a familiar to Mrs. Hana?

That's...

What?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I appreciate your honesty.

There are generals who tremble when they hear the captain's name.

That's because...

The captain used his saber to give the Grotesqueries skull a...

I wish you could have seen,

how his murderous face looked like a Hannya.

Who's a Hannya? (*A noh theater mask)

I was talking about how cool you were, like a Hannya.

I was explaining it to Lady Miyo.

Well... welcome back.

What brings you here?

I... I was going to give it to you at the entrance...

It's just... I'm worried that you haven't eaten properly.

Thank you.

Can we have some too?

Pleases, go ahead.

Let's eat!

Let's eat!

This is for you, Mr. Godou.

For me?

Next time, I'd like to properly thank you for Mrs. Hana...

Captain.

He's starting to smile lately.

Oh, that's so cute.

Thank you.

It's a back you want to hug.

Huh?

Everyone here feels that way.

They all admire that man.

Captain I'll do it!

It's not me!

It's you!

Are you okay?

Are you okay? What's wrong?

Can you hear me?

Can you stand up?

How wonderful!

Is this a maple leaf pattern?

Yes, it is.

This one has a floral pattern...

- Excuse me... - with small stripes.

I can't accept this.

What are you saying Lady Miyo.

This is the thoughtfulness, sincerity and generosity of the Young Master.

You can't turn him down.

I'm sorry.

Which one do you like?

I...

Which one is it?

- This one. - That one?

Young Master also instantly fell in love with that one.

Cherry blossoms?

My Lord?

And...

This one.

Young Master bought a comb?

When a man gives a comb to a woman,

that usually means a proposal.

It just he didn't give it to her directly...

Young Master wants Lady Miyo

to receive whatever she need wholeheartedly.

Which one would you like to see next?

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Ms. Yurie, take a look at the belt,

it's the second one in front of you.

It has a pine, bamboo and plum pattern.

It has a distinguished appearance.

I'm sure it'll look good on Lady Miyo.

The other thing is... this one over here...

Lady Miyo?

Lady Miyo!

A female school name-list? It's really old.

It was during Miyo's mother's schooldays.

Even if you narrow it down to the schools in the capital.

There are still 27 students named Usumi.

27?

You want to go through them one by one?

That's the plan.

But there's no proof they're in the capital.

This will take a lot of time.

Why are you doing this?

You two are on good terms, right?

At that time...

I felt something I've never felt before.

I'm sorry.

If that was Usuba's doing...

Please get out of my way. I'm in a hurry.

Only authorized personnel are permitted! Wait!

I'm in a hurry! Let me go!

Mr. Kudou, I'm sorry.

Miyo...

You want us to apologize?

Help!

You and your mother...

How far are you going to make fun of me

before you're satisfied?

I hate those eyes of yours.

It's the spitting image of that woman.

Just because you have a somewhat better bloodline.

Why are you treated so favorably?

If it weren't for your mother,

I would've already married into the Saimori family!

I have a favor to ask.

Cancel your engagement with Lord Kudou.

It's a plot between Kaya and my father.

Kaya wanted you.

My father wanted to get Usuba's bloodline.

I couldn't do anything on my own.

What should we do?

I doubt anyone will open the door if I shout.

Not a problem.

All you have to do is refuse the marriage

then I'll engage with Lord Kudou.

All you have to do is say yes.

Miyo!

- Get some water. - Okay.

Miyo!

Leave!

Where's Miyo?

Miyo belongs to the Tatsuishi family!

Wait!

Where are you going?

I need to wash those filthy face.

Miyo!

Put out the fire!

Where are you, Miyo?

Miyo!

Where are you, Miyo?

Where are you, Miyo?

- Tatsuishi that bastard, - Miyo!

dragging me into this!

Where's Miyo?

Miyo!

If I give up now,

I'll be free.

Even if it's taken away from me, I won't talk back.

It'll be the same as always.

It's an easy thing to do.

While praying for the storm to pass,

I survived.

But...

Don't you even have any fatherly love?

Love?

There's no love for a person without a gift.

Tell me you're going to break the engagement.

No.

However, the person who will stay next to him is...

I...

I'm his...

I'm Kudou Kiyoka's...

fiancée.

Miyo!

Miyo.

Miyo!

It's all right.

Let's go home.

I'm not wrong, I'm just trying to correct a mistake!

Mistake?

Because it's weird that she was accepted into the Kudou family.

She's useless and I've Spirit-sight as gift.

Shut up.

I'm the one who is more useful.

I'm better...

Shut up!

I don't give a damn about looks or 'gift'.

Even if the sky is falling down.

I won't choose you.

Take that man to the headquarters.

Yes, sir!

But, even so you...

We haven't caught the culprits who exposed the Burial Grounds.

Don't worry about it.

Hey, let me see the baby.

How many times are you going to look?

It's so cute.

Mochizuki, are you okay?

Five days later...

The Saimori family, whose house burned to the ground,

moved to a private house in the countryside.

My Lord said the family is in total decline.

The Tatsuishi family has entrusted their eldest son as the head of the family....

and is presently under the management of the Kudou family.

Lady Miyo!

Don't do that.

I'll do it.

It's fine.

You need to get some rest.

Excuse me.

Please come in.

Okay.

Come Lady Miyo, let's go inside.

Hello.

He's the gentleman that assisted Lady Miyo when we were in the city.

So I invited him to returned the favor.

Is there a problem?

No.

Thank you for your help earlier.

No, I was in a hurry too.

But I didn't realize you were Captain Kudou's fiancée.

I was surprised too.

I had no idea you were his colleague.

Well...

That bruise is...

This is...

a battle scar.

You can leave the report to the guards.

I went to the headquarters.

But they said

you're taking care of Lady Miyo and don't know when you'll be back.

The guards didn't know Miyo was hurt.

What are you thinking?

That's what I wanted to say.

What?

Lady Miyo's injury wasn't caused by the Saimori family

but it was caused by you.

Your existence was the cause.

And also,

you left her nightmare unattended.

Don't tell me...

If you want to save Miyo...

bring her to me.

Captain.

Vigilance class 1 is back, class 2 is ready to move out.

Okay, I got it.

[Sumi]

[Tsuruki]

Tsuruki Sumi...

Tsuruki...

Please help me.

When Miyo came to this house,

I sensed it.

Now I'm sure I was right.

Please.

Miyo.

Miyo.

Miyo, it's okay.

Miyo, it's okay.

It's okay I'm here.

Miyo.

Did you have a nightmare?

There's no one around, just me.

It's dark inside the water.

It's just me.

Miyo, look at me.

Miyo, look at me.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I don't want to have nightmares anymore.

I appreciate you coming over so quickly.

Ms. Miyo doesn't seem to understand

why she was brought here?

Are you currently the 'real' you?

What do you mean?

You're the one who said you had the power to interfere people's mind.

That's right.

When he helped Miyo before

he suddenly disappeared right in front of the car.

You're using Usuba's gift to create illusions, aren't you?

Don't worry, currently I'm the real me.

Did you just mention Usuba?

Yes.

Ms. Miyo, come here.

Indeed.

She does look a lot like Sumi.

These men are the elders of the Usuba family.

This is Mrs. Sumi's father.

He is Miyo's and my grandfather.

"Tsuruki" is the name we use outside.

My real name is Usuba Arata.

Miyo,

I'm your cousin.

I have only one question.

Who is the person that showed Miyo nightmares?

It's no one.

It's Usuba's blood that does it.

Our power is very special and strong.

Just having the blood of Usuba flowing on your body

has an effect on your mind.

If the power of Usuba can effect the mind,

can it stop Miyo's nightmare?

Yes, if she stays here

we can deal with it.

Please wait.

I can't leave my Lord's side.

It's only a matter of time before the nightmares kill you.

Besides, Mr. Kudou is busy with the Burial Ground case.

- Stop making any trouble... - That has nothing to do with Miyo.

Even so,

can a man who can't stop her nightmares

make her happy?

If this continues,

she'll be killed by her own power.

You should stay here.

You must obey anything I say.

Yes, my Lord.

I only have western clothing.

If you want to wear a kimono, let's go shopping.

Miyo.

Why don't we get married?

I've always been thinking about you.

I've always admired you.

I've been waiting for you.

The power of Usuba is dangerous

to the people around you.

Our bloodline was actually forbidden to be shared with other families.

Then...

why did my mother marry into the Saimori family?

It was Mrs. Sumi's wish.

In order to save

Tsuruki Trading from financial trouble,

we received financial support from the Saimori family.

Miyo...

you've returned to your rightful place.

My rightful place...

The most important thing for the Usuba family is

to live in peace and harmony.

This is why we live independently and quietly.

There's nothing here that can hurt you.

That's why...

Arata.

We'll continue this conversation later.

Godou.

Captain, please hurry!

The Imperial Household Army that was infected by the insects...

Your Highness.

Are you alright?

Your Highness!

Send a messenger to Kiyoka!

Your Highness, what's wrong?

The Emperor's history and thoughts have been absorbed, haven't they?

Send everyone infected with the insects to the basement dungeon for quarantine.

Captain!

Mochizuki!

Captain!

Find out who's infected by the insects!

Godou!

Captain!

The Imperial Household Army Unit suddenly came and attack us.

More than half of the units are infected.

Were any civilians harmed?

No!

Based on what I've gathered from my familiar,

all the insects are here!

Then raise the barrier.

Don't let a single one out!

But...

We won't be able to use our familiar.

I don't care.

These are no ordinary insects.

Prepare yourself to become a shield.

Stop panicking!

Yes, sir!

Don't let the insects get out!

Anyone infected with the insects

should be tied and confined.

Are you okay?

Is there enough rope?

I've heard that all the insects of the Burial Grounds have gone to the headquarters.

What about the Anti-Groutesquerie Special Unit?

They are still fighting.

They won't be able to avoid annihilation.

What do you mean?

Miyo!

Let me explain!

Let me go!

Arata.

I'm fine.

I'm not entranced.

I just fainted for a moment.

What did I just do?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Your 'Dream-weaver' power manifested.

Dream-weaver?

Yes.

It has the power to draw people into a dream or spiritual world

and you can enter to that world.

No matter how strong the opponent is,

you can manipulate their dreams and brainwash them.

It's a power

that's unique even to the Usuba family.

But I couldn't even see a Grotesquerie, how can I have a gift?

We can't see it either.

The power of the Usuba family isn't used to defeat the Grotesqueries.

What do you mean?

Our duty is to stop gifted people

from going berserk.

In other words,

the Usuba's gift is to defeat other gifted people.

Dream-weaver's power always appear in form of nightmares.

I need to get back to Lord Kudou's side as soon as possible.

You can't.

It's not just because of your gift.

It's the Emperor's order.

If you invite Miyo to Usuba family,

she's not allowed to see Kudou until order was given.

Why would the Emperor...

The Emperor...

received a Divine Revelation

that a Dream-weaver would appear, and was afraid.

If the 'Divine Revelation' is inferior to the 'Dream-weaver',

all the members

of the royal family will be displaced one day.

And the existence of Kudou Kiyoka

will become a big threat to the Emperor

should he join forces with the Saimori family.

The Emperor took advantage of the exposed Burial Grounds

and ordered Mr. Kudou

to become a shield.

You wanted to kill Kiyoka from the beginning?

It's all your father's wishes

in order to protect you.

Stay away from their faces.

If there's no other way to kill only the insects,

The Anti-Grotesque Special Unit inside the barrier

will have to kill each other.

What should we do?

What should we do, Kato?

Go get me a rope!

Don't come any closer!

Okabe.

Okabe.

Okabe!

Okabe!

I don't want to kill.

Captain!

Godou, stay away from him.

Get me a rope!

I'm sorry, Okabe.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't tell me you poisoned...

You're the one who exposed the Burial Grounds?

How dare you!

Father, Father!

Father!

The Usuba family has a rule.

If a Dream-weaver appears,

a chosen member from the family

will risk their life to protect them.

I won't let you go.

It's my duty to protect you for the rest of my life.

Stay away from their faces!

Captain!

- I'm really sorry. - Miyo, please!

Please let me go!

You can't!

You still can't control your power.

You'll be consumed by that power and die.

I don't care!

If I can be of any help to Lord Kudou,

I'll gladly die.

My Lord.

My Lord.

My Lord.

But, even so you...

will definitely be happy.

When you become older.

Godou!

Wait!

What's wrong?

What?

Captain...

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

A Dream-weaver...

has the power to infiltrate other people's dreams and spiritual worlds

and defeat the gifted.

Cut them!

Mother.

I...

I...

still can't...

go to your side.

Let's meet again.

Again?

Miyo!

You are incredibly foolish.

Hey, are you okay?

Somebody!

Miyo!

My Lord.

I want to be by your side.

I want to stay with you.

Kiyoka.

Kiyoka.

I'm really sorry.

Miyo's mother knew that Miyo had a gift of a Dream-weaver

and sealed that power.

Yes.

From my father

and those who intend to abuse that powers.

She did it to keep her child safe.

I'm glad.

So, Miyo was loved.

It's the same for you, Your Highness.

If there is anything wrong with the Emperor's actions,

there's only one person

that will be able to correct it.

It looks really good on you.

It's very beautiful.

Lord Kudou chose it himself.

No.

He did choose the kimono,

but most importantly, you're beautiful.

Thank you very much.

Anyone can gain confidence by being loved.

Young Master and Lady Miyo

have grown more at ease.

I'm leaving.

Please take care.

My Lord.

Did you come to pick me up?

It's looks like it's going to snow.

Let's go home.

Yes.

Please wait, my Lord.

This...

It's broken, I'm sorry.

I'll just buy you another one.

No, I'm going to keep this one.

The most important thing to me is...

this comb has a deeper meaning...

behind it.

I see.

Okay.

Miyo.

From now on, you're probably going to face a rough time.

I'm a soldier, after all.

Sometimes I have to go to the battlefield.

And also my personality...

is boring.

No.

But I...

want to be with you.

Troublesome men like me...

I don't find you troublesome at all.

- I am. - No.

I'm more troublesome than you.

Will you marry me?

You won't regret it?

Of course not.

I'm a person with many shortcomings.

Please treat me favorably.

Let's go.

Yes.

♫ Tears spelling love, swaying in the wind

♫ I think of you and my heart cries

♫ Lead the two of us to eternity

♫ To your side right now...

♫ Even though the sky is clear

♫ The rain is hitting my shoulder now

♫ The sadness of finding a place to belong

♫ I wonder if it's because I started crying

♫ If I close my eyes (every time)

♫ I hear your heartbeat throbbing

♫ The fingertips that touch you (running on the cheeks)

♫ It melts away the loneliness

♫ Deeply in love, dancing fleetingly in the sky

♫ So that this feeling does not disappear

♫ The moonlight that illuminates the furrows

♫ Where shall we go now?

♫ In exchange for eternal love

♫ I can throw everything away, that's why

♫ Let's go to end the loneliness

♫ Things like painfulness and destiny

♫ I screamed your name to cross over them

♫ If it's where I belong, if it's there

♫ (it will be where) the flowers blooming under the sun

♫ Every time the night comes (anytime)

♫ So that I don't end up getting lost

♫ The destination that shines (Tie me to it)

♫ I can't untie the hands that are connected...

♫ Keep unraveling the tangled threads

♫ One person turns into two

♫ The space in my heart

♫ We complete each other, that's why

♫ Let's become an umbrella for tears...

♫ A wish yearning for love, swaying in the wind

♫ So that this feeling does not vanish

♫ Guide me with your sweet love

♫ Where shall we go now?

♫ In exchange for eternal love

♫ I can throw everything away, that's why

♫ (It's) a story written by two people

♫ (a) story…

It ended smoothly.

At last the flowers have bloomed.

I'm going to pick you this time,

Miyo.
