Original subtitles

We use combinations of long and short smoke plumes, like this.

Come.

Run.

Help.

Where are you?

Enemy.

Stop, stop! No smoke signals! Put it out!

What? Why?

We need to teach them to Asa in case we get separated down here.

You'll attract attention!

Yeah, but how do people down here communicate over long distances?

We have these things called "phones."

These probably won't work even if we charge them.

Mother, what are these?

I had these when I wandered into Higashi Village.

I looked for a pay phone to call the emergency number,

but I couldn't find one anywhere.

The world's gotten less convenient while I was trapped in the village.

My transit card probably won't work anymore.

Surely the currency hasn't changed, right?

We need to find a police box ASAP and ask for protection.

No, wait.

We're in Higashi Village's backyard.

Their agents could be hiding anywhere.

And Yuru's still…

Father, Mother.

We're not going back for Brother?

I taught Yuru all the survival skills I could.

Trust in his strength.

What should we do?

What if they put him in Asa's cell instead?

Huh? There's someone here.

I don't recognize them.

Kimono? That's unusual.

Where are you from?

Uh, Tokyo.

We're cosplaying.

Coplay?

We dressed up in old clothes

and came to take pictures in an old-looking place,

but we lost our stuff in the mountains.

Nagisa.

Down here, you're not allowed to use violence

even if you have a reason, right?

Hand over Asa, and we won't hurt you.

Go back to Higashi Village.

Do we… have to use violence here?

Looks like it.

Even if I seek protection from someone,

the sudden return of someone who's been lost in the mountains for years

would make the news.

We'd attract the world's attention.

\We'd practically be telling Higashi Village where to find Asa.

Where can we go that's safe?

How can we protect helpless little Asa and Yuru, whom we left behind?

Aw, man.

Zapping it bricked it.

This is why I try to avoid using Raijin.

These are my Daemons, Fujin-Raijin.

Their names are self-explanatory.

Fujin controls wind, and Raijin controls lightning.

They're pleased to meet you, Yuru-kun.

We lost touch with Shingo-san!

What do you mean?

That brat did something to him.

He said to release the hostages if we want Shingo-san to live.

Then I heard coughing, and the line went dead.

It's no use. I can't reach him either.

Send some guys to check on Shingo-san!

Call the guys watching the hostages, too!

What? What's going on?

Where are you right now?

Near gate two.

Okay, that's near Shingo-san.

Go check on him right away.

We'll be right there.

You just want me to check on Shingo-san?

Where is he?

Oh, that's nearby. I'll head over.

I still don't really get what's going on, though.

Is that one of Shingo's men?

Sounds like it.

What? The twin brother?

I've heard he's feral.

What if he attacks me?

Got 'em. He's going to wherever Yuru is.

Are you guys good to go?

That human doesn't have Daemons.

He won't notice us.

Aw, man. I was about to eat.

Hurry up!

Who do you think paid for your food?

Sorry, sorry. I'm on my way.

What happened? I heard a weird sound! Hey!

It's nothing. I just dropped my phone.

Could you confirm where Shingo-san is?

The second floor of the TT Logistics office. Got it.

Could you tell me where the hostages are, too?

The hostages are in the Oedo Transport reception room.

Got it. I'll see you later.

Okay, let's go see Yuru first.

Yes, sir.

Your cute little Daemons are scarier than they look.

I see.

You could use Mamegarasu to control the twins

if they won't listen to you.

You don't need to worry about that.

For now, just focus on saving Yuru.

What is it, Yozakura?

Someone's here.

Good evening, sir.

What's up?

I was sent to check on you since we lost contact.

I came because I was worried something had happened to you.

But it looks like I had nothing to worry… about…

There's Yuru!

And Kagemori Asuma and that Daemon!

He's got something, too!

This old man's Daemons use lightning and wind!

Fujin!

Slicing blades of wind, huh?

Raijin!

What?

Yuru!

Asuma, what did you do?!

I brought him somewhere safe.

We wouldn't want Yuru-kun to fall back into enemy hands, right?

So I moved him somewhere else.

Uh…

If Yuru's not here, we have no business here.

Sorry for bothering you.

Fujin.

Tadera, are you okay?!

Where'd he go?!

Damn that quick bastard!

They're flying slowly this time.

Nice. That makes them easier to tail.

They want me to follow them?

Whoa!

Yuru, are you okay? - Dera-san.

Sorry. I got zapped.

But I can finally move again.

So, who's this guy?

Wait, wait. Lower your gun.

This is Yozakura, Asuma's Daemon.

They're… sort of an ally, I guess?

They spoke to me while I was inside them when I was first kidnapped.

What is this, a cloud of moths?!

Forgive me for being rough with you, Yuru-kun.

It spoke!

Speaking gives away my intelligence,

so I stay silent and pretend to be stupid to lower Shingo Hayato's guard.

Shingo?

Asuma's uncle.

First and foremost, Yuru, my master, Asuma, isn't your enemy.

Asuma hates Shingo Hayato enough to want to kill him.

Kagemori Gonzo plans to use this incident to find evidence

and wipe out the traitors, starting with Shingo.

Asuma's on board because he wants to take down Shingo.

Why does Asuma want to defeat Shingo so badly?

Isn't he his uncle?

Since Asuma's mother, Iori, was a child,

the Shingo family has called her useless baggage.

It caused quite a stir

when the powerful Kagemori clan head fell for her.

The greedy Shingo used his in-laws

to expand his businesses and build his wealth.

But he still refused to thank or acknowledge Asuma's mother.

His greed knows no bounds.

Once he learned about Break and Seal through the Kagemoris,

he began acting to claim those next.

He's like a moth drawn to a flame.

I suppose Higashi Village is the same.

Yeah, sorry about that.

You're always with him.

Why don't you lop off his head?

We are severely disadvantaged against Fujin-Raijin.

Their lightning burns us, and their wind blows us away.

We cannot defeat Fujin-Raijin.

Asuma pretends to obey Shingo because he knows that.

He's a kind boy.

He's endured so much for Asagiri and I.

Kind? He has the fakest smile I've ever seen.

I don't know why he looks like he's always plotting something.

His face does him no favors.

Is that true?

Fine, got it.

The Kagemori clan head and Asa showed up.

What?

And we lost touch with Shingo-san.

What's going on?

Well…

The twin brother?

Shingo-san was captured?

He said to release the hostages.

They haven't found this place yet, right?

Not as far as we know.

I found my other half!

Nice!

But they're being held with a village girl.

The guards have Daemons.

It won't be easy for them to escape.

Oh no. Are they the ones who attacked the village?

Yeah. They're being held hostage to negotiate with Yuru.

No wonder they never came out.

Also, both of the twins are nearby.

Yuru-san and the real Asa-san?!

They're powerful!

Let's ask Right and Left to help us!

After all, we're Daemon friends now!

Asa-chan probably doesn't like my partner.

And I was terrible to Yuru.

I can't ask them to help me.

Let's try asking anyway.

Yuru-san said he had a lot of things to say to you when he saw you.

Even if he's mad, I'm sure he'll come.

But how can we find Yuru without being detected?

This place is teeming with Daemons.

I don't know if they're friends or foes

or where Right and Left or anyone else is.

I'm sorry for leading you both around without a proper explanation.

A little more explanation would've been nice.

We could've helped if it would benefit us.

Shingo would've noticed if we communicated closely.

I wanted to keep communication to a minimum to keep Asuma safe.

Oh, yeah. Kagemori Jin was like that, too.

I understand the situation.

The enemy knows Yuru-kun came down the mountain and is targeting him.

Not only that, but someone was powerful enough

to take Asa-san's double and children from Higashi Village.

Who's greedy and has lots of Daemon Wielders working for him?

We know someone.

We sure do.

This works out nicely.

We'd also like to take them out, so we'll assist you.

We'll see you there on the day of the meeting.

You can go now, Tadera.

Wait, wait, wait!

We're not going to make a more detailed plan?

I don't want to tip off the enemy by meeting for too long.

We'll go with the flow.

Go with the flow?

One more thing.

Asuma will probably be there.

If you see him, pretend you're enemies.

He is not our enemy.

Do not attack him if you run into him.

Also, these are from Asa-san.

They're photos.

Don't forget to give this to her brother.

That's how our meeting went.

Sounds kind of sloppy. - You're one to talk.

A skilled Daemon Wielder joined Shingo recently.

We're being particularly cautious to avoid his notice.

He wields long and short sword Daemons.

Watch out for him.

Him?!

The pervman! - Ivan Yosano.

Pervman?

A man who harasses women in an obscene way.

That's unforgivable. He deserves to die.

He should cut his own belly.

I still don't get your sense of morality.

That pervman— - Ivan!

We fought a bit earlier.

He knows something about your parents.

I didn't like the way he dodged our questions about them.

Right and Left are fighting to capture him alive right now.

Okay.

Let's go help Right and Left, Dera-san.

Sure. I'll go get my rifle.

Yozakura-san, do you think you could help—

I only obey Asuma.

Of course.

That's a smoke signal.

What?

Over there. That.

Where?

Isn't something just on fire?

No, that's definitely the signal we use in the village.

Danji and I frequently used it to communicate when I was on the mountain.

"Requesting help."

Danji's asking for help.

He said he'd look for his other half down here.

If he's here, that means…

What's it gonna be?

The hostages or the lead on your parents?

I asked Yuru for help.

Brother?

I hope he sees my smoke signal.

Will he come to help us?

We lied to him.

It's okay, Azami-chan.

I'm sure help is on the way.

Who? - My brother.

He'd never abandon you.

Yuru-niichan…

Be careful, Brother.

These people are all Daemon Wielders.

What? It's you!

Someone help!

Brother!

Yuru-niichan!

Someone used a Higashi Village smoke signal for help.

Not many people down here use smoke signals.

I came here expecting to find my brother.

CLICK

Sorry.

The scary twin showed up.

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

Get 'em.

Why didn't you go there first?!

Which arm cut down Father and Mother?

I'll shoot that one next!
