It looks like the creation of knights is going well.

He looked impressive. Black, from head-to-toe.

The people in these parts call him the Black Knight.

His fighting stance and the fact he's here with a middle-aged knight...

I see.

Hey, just when are we going to storm the castle exactly?

Just wait a little longer!

We don't know what's going on inside.

For now, we wait until the ladies obtain some information.

It's not like we can only gain information from women!

Horrors appear more often in places like that.

This is part of being a knight.

Then, what's with the mirror?

What are you going to use it for?

This?

Women love getting stuff like this.

Their services tend to change with presents.

That's how it is! Remember it well, Son.

Why don't you take this seriously?! Shitty old man!

And so, that's how your gift met its demise.

I'm more interested in your son than that present of yours.

No way! No way! No way! No way!

He would never come to a place like this!

Only this son of mine right here understands your charm!

Goodness! You're so silly!

Keep searching! The culprit is wounded!

He can't have gone far!

What's all the commotion about?

I'm sure that the armored soldiers are fussing over another witch or something.

Since I'm in this line of work, I'm really worried that one day

they'll call me a witch that deceives men.

It'll be fine. You have nothing to worry about.

Aw, you're so sweet. I don't dislike a man in armor, though.

Aren't they cool?

A birthday suit like we're in now is my favorite.

You pervert! I'm going to punish you!

It's best not wearing any clothes, much less armor!

Where there is cause, Horrors appear and consume humans.

But since ancient times, there have been hunters of such creatures.

Men donned in armor, the Makai Knights!

You are the one who will bring...

GARO!

GARO!

GARO!

Oh warrior born in burning hellfire

You must bear darkness and hatred on your shoulders

The silent promises you've sworn have become heavy steel

Until the moment you cut off the root of darkness

Something hot chips away and sears though you in this life

If you want it, I'll give it to you

The mark of fire that rises forth

Don't turn back! Cut through!

Until you've broken through the darkness

Your golden fangs are fated by inherited blood

Your soul that has been swallowed by sadness and pain

The only light that will reach the heavens is GARO

León will be angry with me again if I see him like this.

Better skip going home.

Are you all right, Miss?

P-Please save me. I'm being chased!

There she is!

Don't cause us so much trouble!

Hey, Bro! Hand over that woman!

Even if you say that, I can't really just hand her over that easily.

It'll be better for you if you just quietly do what we say.

Well, this is quite the dilemma.

What an annoying bastard!

Donato, we should just kill a guy like him, Bro!

I'm in agreement. That gentlemanly farce of his is revolting.

I see.

You guys are too much to handle for me!

Hold it!

That bastard! We won't let you escape!

Wait, asshole!

Hey! Tell me your name! Your name!

I-It's Irene.

What a beautiful name, Irene.

Are they still chasing us?

No, they're not.

Well, what should we do now?

If we're going to hide, I know a good place.

It hasn't been used in a long time. I'm sure this place is safe.

I see. I guess we'll let things settle while waiting in here.

Thank you very much for saving me.

More importantly, just who were they?

A little while back, I was harassed by them at the pub.

I hit one of them with a wine bottle and ran away.

Nothing happened after that, but I met them by chance today in town.

But you had nothing to hit them with today, huh?

Yes. How can I thank you?

Don't worry about it.

I can't allow that!

Then, how about a kiss?

Huh?!

Shoot! I should have asked for a bigger reward!

Um, I don't really mind.

Hey, now. That's a little...

I don't mind if it's you. You saved my life.

I understand!

This man, Germán, will accept your firm resolve without hesitation!

H-Huh?

At times like these, the man has to open his heart up first.

Oh, yes.

U-Um...

Then, here I come!

What are you standing around naked for, bastard?!

Crap! Irene! We have to run...

H-Huh? What? Huh?

I'm sorry.

What?! What about that sweet and charming conversation we had just now?!

Did you really think I'd do it in a place like this?

Yeah.

It's just like you thought, Donato.

One look at that perverted face and anyone would think that.

Well, I lost.

It's my loss. Take the money and go, but leave the clothes behind.

Commendable. However...

That would be a little boring!

You should play with us a little first!

Irene.

What is it?

I forgive you.

Huh?

I told you the ones dealing with you...

...is us!

You little bastard!

All right!

Irene. It was a nice kiss!

I'll kill him!

Wait!

Stop, you bastard!

It was so noisy last night that I couldn't get a wink of sleep.

Did they catch him? The witch and the man she was with?

The soldiers are still wandering around, so probably not?

Excuse me!

There we go!

Who just screamed?

What happened?!

A-A suspicious man!

A man way past suspicious!

It may be the man who escaped with the witch! After him!

Whoa! What the hell is he doing?!

What in the world?! How disgusting!

Th-This is bad. I think I'm standing out like a sore thumb.

Wait!

There he is!

Shit! Now the soldiers are after me!

I don't really know why, but the situation keeps getting worse.

Gotta do something about that!

Right! This will do for now.

Sorry, Miss. Due to extenuating circumstances, I'm going to borrow this.

There he is!

This way! Quickly!

Don't move! If you move, I'll shoot!

You're a terrible shot! Aim for me properly!

Don't kill him!

I-I didn't!

We have to capture him and make him tell us where the witch is!

What do you mean by witch?

Hurry and go!

Someday, we'll meet again.

I should be safe here for a little while.

Found you!

Hey, give us something.

Me, too! Me, too!

Give us this!

Idiots! You can't have that!

What about this?

Give it to us!

Come on, move! I have nothing to give you!

There he is!

He's taking children hostage!

What the hell?!

Wait, you bastard!

Wait!

You perverted bastard!

I'm telling you, this is all a misunderstanding!

What interesting tastes you have.

Ema!

You saved me!

Sure looks like you're having a blast to me though.

Ema, there's no way that's true.

Goodness. You're so carefree when your boy is in so much trouble.

What do you mean?

He was attacked by the Black Knight last night.

Black Knight?

Yes.

Bernardo Dión.

So you know him, then?

Where is León?

He barely escaped with his life. I was in a lot of danger, too.

You're not going to him?

It's fine as long as he's alive.

With this, I'm sure he'll understand he's not strong enough right now.

The real hurdle is whether he'll be able to realize what he's missing.

Makai Knights are ones who protect, not fight.

If he continues to only yearn for the power to defeat others...

León will not have the right to be the Golden Knight.

Thank you, Ema.

I will do what I must.

Put on some damn clothes first!

Yes, ma'am.

Zoro, huh?

What's the meaning of this?

What's the meaning of this?

You stayed silent about Bernardo?

I knew he would appear eventually as long as you chased after Mendooza.

At the time, I didn't really think it mattered.

Not like I didn't already know this, but you really have a bad personality.

That's quite unexpected. I kept quiet in order to keep your heart from wavering.

So, he's turned?

Now he's a bonafide Black Knight. It's really too bad!

Tsk. Like you give a damn either way.

Anna! Hurry!

You say that, but this horse just won't listen to me!

You're still not so skilled at handling men or horses, huh?

Don't say such crude things!

Anna! You're gonna lose my ass if you aren't careful!

Geez, man...

Go!

W-Wait!

Ouch...

Are you all right?

Y-Yes. I'm fine.

You're defensive landing is top-notch.

Or could it be that some part of you worked as a cushion?

Oh, shut up.

Here, get on.

Darn!

Thank you.

I want to fight against you seriously one of these days.

I'll take you on, anytime.

Don't be stupid. Knights aren't allowed to fight one another.

You're so freaking serious as usual!

That's not true.

Every once in a while, I feel like going against the duties of a Makai Knight.

Overwhelmingly so.

What?

Hey! That was dirty!

A win is a win.

Anna! Did you hear that just now?!

This guy is a cheater! You better watch out!

There they are! Over there!

The witch! We'll catch her for sure!

Hurry up and stop them!

Roberto!

Anna. Are you all right?

Ah... Yes.

I'm fine.

Roberto!

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine!

Don't worry about it. More importantly, take care of Anna!

Roberto! Use my horse.

Escape with Anna!

Don't be rash! I'll take care of them!

Roberto! You're useless in your current state!

What are you planning to do alone?!

I'll take care of it! This is the only thing we can do in this situation!

Let's go, Anna!

Y-Yes.

Hurry!

Sorry!

Bernardo!

Thank me the next time we meet.

Forgive me, Roberto.

I knew this day would eventually come.

Come to me, Roberto.

Bernardo, huh?

I guess I'll have to brace myself for this.

As I thought, they didn't leave the clothes.

What should I do?

How dangerous!

Irene!

Help me!

What?! N-No way!

You were lying in wait for me? Really?!

No way! Trying to trick me twice in a single day?!

What is there left to steal from me?!

What's wrong?

I-I don't know.

A-After that, Donato suddenly turned into a monster and attacked everyone...

Please believe me!

I'm telling the truth this time!

Yes. I believe you.

D-Donato.

Don't worry. Irene, where are my clothes?

Oh, the pawn shop.

Seriously?!

Damn, I've got no choice.

Hey! Idiot! Wait a second! I said wait!

You bastard!

I can't lose in front of a woman!

If you keep doing bad things, you'll turn into something like that too, Irene.

Fear not. I shall stay by your side tonight.

Though, I might be scarier than any monster!

There he is! He's still naked!

No way!

You're too persistent!

Wait!

León! You were all right.

Dad.

I heard from Ema that you lost to the Dark Knight.

As you are now, I won't lend you my strength.

I know.

What are you planning to do now?

Give me a little time.

Wait! León!

As you can see, due to extenuating circumstances, I'm not wearing any clothes.

I have no money, either. I'm in a lot of trouble.

I'll be waiting!

León.

What's the truth of end of the world?

While there's life, there's pleasure

While there's life, there's hope

The thing that interrupts the will to stand

Is illusion born from smoke

Listen to the bell of regret

Atone for our time lost

With the pain of eternity

and the weight of the burning mark

Survival is also fate

For the hopes inherited by blood

The reason left behind

I will implore the land

Oh the voice that echoes awakens my hesitation

Oh so that the path that has been engraved will not be repeated

What's the truth of ending?

Coming around, going around

What's the truth of avenging?

Toward the empty future

—NEXT EPISODE—

Inherited hope.

Apprenticeship becomes a vow that dwells within you.
