EPISODE 8 "RESOLVE"

Commander-in-Chief,

those of rank Adeptus Minor and higher have assembled.

It appears I had fallen asleep for a whole day.

I must have worried you all.

My apologies.

S-So beautiful!

A figure akin to that of a brilliant star!

Gedoin-kun.

This is the first time we've met.

If my body disconnects from this apparatus,

it will soon fail.

Even if only for a brief moment,

this invention allows me to show my true face.

This is all the result of your hard work.

I am deeply grateful.

I'm not worthy of such a kind word!

How is it?

Is everything going smoothly?

Y-Yes, of course, sir!

We have just finished a thorough examination of Izumo Kamiki!

She's perfectly suited to host the Nine Tails!

After this, I will immediately begin the transplantation

of Nine Tails from Tamamo's deteriorating body into Izumo!

I am glad to hear that.

Tamamo Kamiki is the material who gave birth

to the Chosen Ones, like Todo and others.

I await further progress in your research.

R-Right, sir! You can count on me!

And, uh... I actually have one more good news.

I have captured the two assassins sent by the Knights of the True Cross.

They're Lord Satan's illegitimate son and his younger brother.

The Okumura brothers are here?

Yes, they are!

Surprised, aren't you, pig woman?!

I did sense them.

I-I see, you already knew!

Of course you would!

What should I do?

Should I kill them?

No.

Leave Rin Okumura be.

We will return him directly to Samael later.

What?! But why, sir?!

Lord Satan's illegitimate son is the knight's trump card!

He has a high chance of ruining the plain!

Yes.

But he also belongs to our godly father.

Any arbitrary action against him is strictly forbidden.

Then how about I just confine him and keep records of him for my research—

Dr. Gedoin.

Commander-in-Chief said to return him.

But I'll give thought to Yukio Okumura's treatment.

Todo-kun said something interesting about him.

But Lord Satan's illegitimate son is likely...

If necessary, I'll just have to take action

even at the risk of receiving Father's wrath.

I am the only one here who can reliably kill Rin Okumura.

With all due respect,

you have been significantly exhausted from the recent declaration of war.

Please let us, your guard, handle it in your place.

With our numbers, we might be able to take him down!

She's trying to steal all the credit for herself!

Curse you sow!

Right.

Hey.

That boy over there...

He's Renzo Shima.

I recalled him from his espionage mission the other day.

He's a new guard.

Oh.

So you can use the Black Flame?

Yes! That's right!

Pleased to meet ya!

Tell me your opinion.

Do you think my guards have a chance of defeating Rin Okumura?

Well...

They might have a better chance than if you were to go, Commander-in-Chief.

But even so, it's only fifty-fifty.

Oh? And why is that?

Okumura is emotionally soft, which is both his strength and weakness.

I believe the guards that are mostly comprised of human

can create an opening much easier.

Emotion...

I would like to see that.

When the time comes, I will leave him to the guards.

Commander-in-Chief!

This meeting is over!

Oh dear!

G-Gedoin-kun.

Y-Yes, sir?!

Everything rests...

...on the success... of the Elixir research.

I want to... present father... with a beautiful... and perfect body.

Please... do it.

I promise you! I promise you I will do it!

Shima!

Yes!

Go with the doctor and lend your strength!

Sure thing!

Bring Tamamo and Izumo to my panopticon.

- I'll start the transplant without dela— - Dr. Gedoin!

What is it? I'm busy!

These are the results of Izumo Kamikiri's examination!

Take a look.

Transplant compatibility 0.08%?

Forget about transplanting the Nine Tails,

there's a 99.92% chance she'll die!

We projected an 87% chance of success a year ago, didn't we?

Something must be wrong! Examine her again!

We already did it twenty times, and it all gave the same result!

We should cancel the procedure and revise the plan—

Don't be stupid!

How would I explain to Lord Lucifer if we cancel this?!

We're going through with it!

We'll bet on the 0.08% chance and perform the transplant!

Y-Yes, sir!

B-But, what if, what if, what if, what if I fail?!

He'll destroy me!

What do I do now?!

I know!

I'll just have to kill Rin Okumura!

Huh? What?

Seriously?

Oh, please. We can just say he got out of control.

And I'll report it like this...

※GEDOIN

It pained me to act against your order, Lord Lucifer.

I am prepared to accept any punishment.

※GEDOIN

You did nothing wrong.

In fact, you are a hero.

Lord Lucifer!

※THIS IS JUST GEDOIN'S FANTASY

That's it!

Really? Should I contact our team leader?

No, don't!

Relying on that pig woman would ruin everything!

I have my own means of fighting!

Here we go!

I'm going to feed you to my pets,

you table scraps!

The hell is that?!

I-Is this another zombie?!

Tch!

Meat!

What kind of zombie is this?!

It's like a chimera!

This is no time to worry about humans and demons, Brother!

Fight!

Get away from me!

You got to be kidding me!

S-Stay back!

It's regenerating...

No wonder destroying its brainstem doesn't work!

This is no ordinary zombie.

It's a true immortal!

I-I can't fight this alone!

No! I don't want to die like this!

To begin with, the whole rescuing Kamiki-san or getting Shima-san back...

...those kinds of things are more for a main character type.

A mere supporting role like me can't do anything in this situation...

If it's going to just eat me, then I'd rather...

You're very observant of your surroundings.

Maybe you're well-suited to be a commander.

Bon! Guys!

Sorry, I panicked!

Sorry!

I need to calm down!

I've decided to believe in my own judgment, didn't I?

I should just focus on what I can do!

I'm the hero of this fight!

It regenerates itself as it absorbs the Vajra!

It's all right. Stay calm.

If I just stay calm and observe my surroundings...

There should be a way out of this!

Is that...?

H-Hey!

Over here!

It's open!

I'm hungry!

Kuro! Help me!

There!

Finally, I found someone!

Where is everyone else?

Thanks, Kuro!

I owe you my life!

I'm so hungry I could cry.

Could it be the others are fighting down below?

We have to help them!

It won't give up!

I'm hungry! I'm not in a good mood!

I'm starving!

Go get Rin and the others, Fuzzymaru!

K-Kuro?

He's trying to let me escape while it fights that thing?

Thanks, Kuro!

What?!

Gunshots! I must hurry!

Mr. Okumura!

How did you escape?

Did you defeat that thing?

I bound it to the floor.

It's multiple zombies forming a chimera.

If that's made possible with its absurd cellular regeneration,

I figured I could stick it to the floor by damaging it while keeping it down.

That's impressive, Mr. Okumura!

You too.

To be honest, I was worried about you.

Good job.

I'll find a way out myself.

You go check on the others.

Understood!

Sh-Shima-san...

Nee-chan!

That surprised me.

Heh, that's perfect.

A bazooka is a required weapon for anyone aiming to be an Aria.

Ever since I decided to become an Exorcist,

I also decided to be a Dragoon.

On!

Abogya beirosharou makatabokara,

manihandoma jinbara harabaritara.

...un!

Eat this!

My bazooka!

Bodhi!

Tch, it didn't work.

Won't being both Aira and Dragoon take a ton of concentration?

Bon, you are tall, but also thin.

Firing a bazooka might break you.

I'll beef up my body and my concentration.

No problem.

After that, I trained every day.

Two and a half months after I began an elective class in Dragoon skills...

...I finally earned permission to fire one on a mission.

Now's the time to test my ability!

I can't let anyone look down on me!

I'm going back!

Going back! Going back!

Go back where, you moron?!

Go back... home...!

Go... back... home...!

Does it still have the brains to speak?!

At the very least, you can't live a life as a human anymore!

Pass on to the next life already!

Go back home!

There's no reasoning with it.

No, it was angry because it understood what I said.

Here goes nothing...

Varuna!

Naumaku sanmandabodanan barunayasowaka...

Va!

Clear Mirror of Still Water!

You can't go home anymore!

Go back... home...

Bon.

Bon!

Let's go back to the temple.

The other kids said it's weird how you guys call me "Bon."

Everyone laughs.

Is it?

Should I call you "Master Ryuji," then?

N-No, Bon is fine.

In the future, you will bear the weight of Myo-o.

To us, you are a pivot as important as an osho.

What is a pivot?

Pivot is where you hold a folding fan.

The pin that holds the slats together.

Without that pin, the fan falls apart.

So let us take care of you.

Okay!

So I decided to be a pivot.

And to be one, I had to work harder than anyone else.

When I thought my dad had abandoned Myo-o...

I felt I had to do something.

I'm going to gather more followers by defeating Satan

and re-establishing the temple!

And yet...

You don't have to work so hard.

Everyone will move on in their own way.

Just let things go.

Why?

I don't think you have to try so hard to be the leader!

See ya!

Do they not need me?

What am I supposed to live for?

Oh, you mean that whole thing about defeating Satan?

Heh, jokes like that are for laughing at, you know!

Is there...

...no coming back?

Home...

Go back...

Return...

Namu Amida Butsu...

Hokkejoubutsu Gegannishikudoku Fugyuuoissai...

Gatouyoshujou, Kaigujoubutsudou...

I'm the one who can't go back.

Argh, one of them already escaped.

Are you sure it's okay like this?

Quiet! Shut your mouth!

Just a few more moments, Lord Lucifer!

Well, I don't want to cause any problems,

so I'll just go with the flow.

Okumura-kun!

Konekomaru!

Where is everyone?

Mr. Okumura's fine...

...but I haven't seen the others.

Okumura-kun, did you beat the zombie?

Well... I ran away.

Dammit. This guy just won't give up! Let's get outta here, Konekomaru!

He still isn't prepared to fight!

Wait, do you remember what I said?

You're our trump card!

Fight!

I'm sure you can rescue everyone!

That's easy to say...

But it's important whose side I'm on!

I have to be on the side of humans!

Or else...

Shiemi!

Rin! Miwa-kun! Thank goodness!

Are you all right?!

Yeah! I was able to fight thanks to Nee-chan's help.

I returned the zombie to the earth.

W-Wow!

But I'm exhausted.

Shiemi, you...

Let's rescue Kamiki-san and Shima-kun!

She's...

I'll burst everyone out of the cages!

Satan Bomb!

Is this Okumura's doing?

Everyone! I'm glad you're all safe!

- Yuki-chan! - You're late!

What?!

That's the first thing you say to me?!

Bon! Thank goodness!

I'm so glad!

Welcome, you pesky cockroaches!

I am the head of the Illuminati's Far East laboratory...

...Michael Gedoin!
