Ordeal

In the winter, I get feelings of nostalgia.

Like things I see for the first time or scenery.

Oh no... what am l crying for?

Thanks for waiting.

I'm the principal, Yagi.

I'm Mitsuki Kaoru.

I received your call.

This is it.

Can your repair this painting?

On the phone l said l was a painter, but I'm really just starting out.

I think there are plenty of people who can fix things better than I can.

Mitsuki...

it has to be you.

Could it be, this painting—?

It's your father, Mitsuki Yuuji's creation.

Is something the matter?

Nothing!

Saejima Kouga.

Welcome.

This place is—?

Not only is there a real Makai, but there is the Makai within as well.

Right now you are following in your father's path.

Who are you!?

There is no data on the completed picture.

What was my father like when he was painting that?

From what I heard, that day he came and began painting this for free.

It was just about the time my predecessor created this place.

But I don't know any history beyond that.

As a painter I look up to my father's talent.

But...

the father I knew would rather focus on painting than his family.

I don't have terribly pleasant memories of him.

They're the same, aren't they?

The predecessor was the same way.

He prioritized this site above his family.

Do you mean the predecessor was your—?

My father.

Principal.

Show me how to use a unicycle.

Okay, I'm coming.

Mitsuki.

I looked hard for you.

Please... do this repair job.

Who the hell are you?

I am... the shadow within you.

And... the thing you fear the most.

You have sealed over a hundred Horrors.

As proof of that, you are permitted to summon Gouten.

Gouten?

A power born from the Makai.

If you want that power, you must defeat me.

This is the ordeal you must now face.

Not interested.

Do not turn your back to me!

This is the path that Saejima Taiga...

your father who died in vain, walked.

A Horror has appeared from a gate.

Go right away!

Go!

You must first go fulfill your mission as a Makai Knight.

I will continue to wait for you here.

Zaruba.

Where's the Horror?

In front of you.

The Garo Blade had no effect.

Kouga, the sword isn't the only problem.

Isn't the Golden Knight within you disturbing your thoughts?

But why did he do it for free? And why did he paint it all by himself?

I've kept wondering about that.

He must have wanted to paint it to leave his legacy behind.

If he put half that passion into his family...

maybe Mother wouldn't have died from her sickness.

I'm sure Mother hates Father.

Then it might very well be worth it to repair that.

You may learn your father's true intentions.

Do you not agree, Master Kouga?

The affairs of other people do not interest me.

Do you know?

Everyone says something different.

Like the hand is open... or the hand is clenched...

or she's making a peace sign.

No clues at all?

I'm sorry for being so useless.

Oh... no.

If I clean the dirt off the rest, I can connect the lines, but...

I can't do that here.

But it'll be okay.

Leave it to me.

This is the treasured sword passed down through the Saejima lineage.

Your father and grandfather also...

had this in hand as they faced their ordeal.

This is...

It is not Soul Metal.

It is mere iron.

So you switched your sword?

However...

As you are, you cannot defeat me.

There's nothing special about this sword...

Why did Father fight with this sword!?

Hey... let's go see Mama.

Mama.

Kaoru.

Is something wrong?

I remembered...

My father... didn't visit my sick mother...

He just continued to paint this mural.

I...

I can't repair this piece!

How can I get in front of him!?

There has to be some opening!

I'm back.

I have been waiting for someone to return.

You mean him?

At the moment, Master Kouga is desperately trying to catch something.

Catch what?

Probably... something within him.

Something within him?

He must have found it!

I'm sure Father found it!

I believe Lady Kaoru also has an ordeal that she cannot beat by simply using her hands.

I see.

He's doing his best without running away.

Yes.

I can't lose either.

Then... I'm going out.

Where?

The same as him.

Mama.

Kaoru.

It's done.

Yes.

The goddess' right hand was never drawn in the first place.

But how did Father know about a scene that I saw as a child?

Mama!

Kaoru!

I'm back.

Really?

So you finished it?

It's over.

I see.

Hey, Mama.

What is it?

Here.

You're giving this to me?

Yeah.

Thank you.

It's pretty.

This mural was what my father left for Mother.

It was his final and greatest expression of his love.

How am I supposed to use this sword!?

Could it be...

I...

I'm trusting my instincts!

Ah, hello, Gonza?

Today something really great happened...

so I'll treat you to a homemade feast.

Why is there no end to these guys!?

You understand, Saejima Kouga.

This sword is mere iron.

It is not a sword for cutting down Horrors.

Correct. I am no Horror.

As I said in the beginning...

I am the shadow within you.

If you fear the shadow, the shadow will overwhelm you.

However, you have overcome the shadows inside.

You never acknowledged that fear.

Looks like it.

It's the weakness in my heart.

If you know that, then you can cut down the ordeals that lay ahead of you.

Kouga!

A Horror is attacking that woman!

Hurry!

There is someone waiting for you to save her.

Go!

That guy's still tough.

Agreed!

So you found that thing inside of you?

What are you talking about?

Nothing, nothing at all.

You... look pretty today.

What do you mean I look pretty?

I'm going home.

Hey.

You can't stop the flow of falling tears...

For the first time you showed me your vulnerable side

Someday your sadness will fade away

Without giving up, I will continue sending you my love

Sending it to you

For the heart that has lost everything...

I will make it so that it can dream again

I am sending you my love

I am sending you my love
