How's that?
You're incredible, Shinichirou!
Finally, this house looks like a human lives in it.
Excuse me for not being human.
Make sure you put everything in its place, and throw any garbage out-
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, Shinichirou.
What's this?
That stuffed animal over there?
I didn't know where to put it.
It's got a weird beak.
Don't touch other people's stuff!
What are you doing?!
Disobey me, and I'll seal you away.
Go ahead and try!
My master Shinichirou is the only one who can order me around!
And I'm Shinichirou's master!
Stop it!
You're messing up the room!
Oh, my.
This place looks so much cleaner.
It was pure chaos before.
You're the last person I want to hear that from, Nadeshiko.
This will work fine.
Bring it all in.
But I just cleaned up in here!
What's going on?
He's moving in.
Asano-kun is going to be living with you as of today.
What?!

Episode 3: Confrontation
How's it going with Shimazu?
What do you mean?
Don't try to hide it.
When did you two get so close?
This egg is really good.
Don't eat my lunch.
We're not that close-
Do you like girls with small boobs?
This bacon-wrapped asparagus is pretty good, too.
Stop eating my food!
You know, Nadeshiko-sensei's new assistant has pretty big boobs.
Who cares?
What's that?
Did you make that yourself?
Uh, well...
Sakuya couldn't do that.
C'mon, who made it for you?
Why does it matter?
Was it Asano-kun?
Why would you suggest him?!
Well, he makes his own school lunches.
And he's really good around the house.
Why not have him live with you, Sakuya?
You...
You've got to be kidding!
Why do I have to live with him?
He's going to be doing the chores around here.
He shouldn't have to make the trip out here every time.
Well, that's true...
You want me to live together with a boy?!
What if something happens?!
Nothing's gonna happen.
What the hell?!
Are you saying that I'm unattractive?!
Look here-
It'll be fine.
Tamako-chan will be here, too.
Don't worry.
I'll protect Shinichirou's chastity.
You three get along, now.
Y-You can't just decide this!
Sakuya, your face is all red.
It's nothing.
Haunted tree, let her go.
This girl will become my nourishment.
Do you really think I'll just do whatever you say?
Then we'll just have to do this by force.
Shoot me if you think you can.
Damn you...
Don't, Shimazu!
There... Doesn't that feel good?
Stop it!
How creepy...
What's going on?
Vampire trees grow by consuming human blood.
We can't let it grow any more.
Shimazu...
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi!
S-Stop it!
Suseri.
Matsuri, tend to her.
Yes, Suseri-sama.
Is she okay?
Yes, there is no danger to her life.
Suseri, you...
That wasn't like you, Sakuya-neesama.
Why did you hesitate to attack?
The tree had a hostage.
Could you not have simply treated her later?
Also, I believe the occasional sacrifice comes naturally in our line of work.
Your younger sister?
Cousin, to be specific.
My name is Suseri Shimazu.
Matsuri Souma.
I'm Suseri-sama's attendant.
Oh, nice to meet you.
I'm-
Shinichirou Asano-sama, correct?
I'm very glad to meet you.
How do you know my name?
Why are you here?
I have no business with you whatsoever.
I'm here to help you.
What a joke.
You just destroyed that thing without sealing it.
Spectres harm humans.
Our job is to send them to the other world, not to destroy them.
Did you forget that?
Isn't it you who's forgotten what our job is, Sakuya-neesama?
What does that mean?!
Anyone keeping a two-tailed cat around can't possibly be in her right mind.
S-She just decided to stay here on her own.
I see.
In that case...
Stop it!
You've changed, Nee-sama.
Why?
S-Shut up!
If you're done here, just go back to Kamakura already!
I'm not done.
Shinichirou Asano-sama will be given to me.
Huh?!
That's acceptable, right, Nee-sama?
No way!
Why would I give Shinichirou to you? I hired him!
Without permission from Kamakura?
I'm the head of this family.
With all due respect, I haven't accepted you yet.
Suseri...
What's going on here?
At the moment, Sakuya is the temporary head of the family,
but the official designation will come after they both reach adulthood.
Until then, they're rivals in a game of thrones.
There are many within the family who support Suseri.
They don't believe that Sakuya is the right choice.
The right choice?
Things are complex.
They're a very old family.
Sounds like a lot to deal with.
You act as if this doesn't concern you.
You're halfway involved in this now.
Huh?
Will you choose Sakuya or Suseri?
Huh?!
U-Uh...
I think I'll go take a bath.
He ran away.
Don't make a mess in there.
If you use my shampoo, you're gonna get it.
I know, I know.
Suseri.
I can't make a choice like that.
Shall I wash your back?
Why?
Why are you...
I know you like large breasts.
I don't exactly understand, but...
Nadeshiko said you'd come to me if I did this.
S-Suseri-san, do you always do stuff like this?
Stuff like this?
Never mind.
I've never washed someone's back before,
so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do, but...
Will this do?
W-What are you...
Nadeshiko showed me how.
She said this is how you wash a man's back.
Did I do something wrong?
This is bad...
If Shimazu sees me right now...
Maybe there wasn't enough soap?
S-Stop...
I'll wash the front of you, as well.
That's enough!
Um...
Shinichirou-sama?
How long is he going to take?
Where am I?
You're awake?
Why am I...
I was in the bath just a second ago.
What are these clothes?
I put them on you.
Is that a problem?
You are going to come to Kamakura with me.
What?!
I can't find him anywhere.
Suseri's gone, too.
Where did the two of them go?
It'll be fine.
Do you know something, Nadeshiko?
For such a sheltered girl, Suseri sure is aggressive.
She couldn't have...
Why are you doing this?
Because I want you, Shinichirou-sama.
W-Want me?
I need you, Shinichirou-sama.
Suseri-san...
I need your power.
Huh?
Suseri-sama's spirit summoning requires a large amount of spiritual energy.
If you and Suseri-sama team up, you could restore her power...
And I'll be able to beat Nee-sama.
So basically, that's what you need me for, huh?
Is that bad?
You're basically just treating me like a-
I will compensate you, of course.
I would do anything you asked of me,
including continuing what we started earlier.
Just ask.
Suseri-sama, something isn't right.
There's not a single car coming from the opposite direction.
No one behind us, either. We're alone.
Suseri-sama, what's that?
An enemy.
W-What's going on?
This location is not of this world.
Looks like we're trapped here.
You can't be...
Stop the car.
There's no point in driving any further.
There's no way to get back but to defeat the spectres that brought us here.
Suseri-sama.
N-No one's driving!
They'll be back.
He's a trained member of the Shimazu family.
The bullets have had spells placed on them.
I see.
Then, we'll be able to get back-
It doesn't seem that way.
H-Help me!
It combined with a human!
W-What is that thing?
A gloom car...
A low six in the spirit hierarchy.
There's still a trace of monstrous aura here.
Beyond this?
Looks like it'll take some time to break though.
Stupid Suseri.
She butted in and then got caught by a spectre.
Pathetic.
Crap!
Let go!
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi.
I-It ate him!
It looks like you don't want us leaving here alive.
You know we're of the Shimazu house.
In that case, we'll just have to slay you.
It's made from metal to begin with,
so no matter how sharp your Kamaitachi's blade is...
Shinichirou-sama, can you figure out the gloom car's true name like you did with the two-tailed cat?
I can't.
I don't even know how I did it last time.
Kiss me, please, Shinichirou-sama.
Huh?!
I heard that my sister received great spiritual energy by doing so.
I need your power to defeat the gloom car.
Yeah, but I can't just...
Now hurry and kiss me.
I guess I'll have to...
No, I just can't do it!
Do you dislike me that much?
That's not the problem-
Do you want to die?
F-Fine...
Could you at least close your eyes?
Don't start getting into a mood now!
Shimazu!
That was a close call.
Yeah, you saved my-
You're really going to owe me for this.
If I had kissed him, I could have taken care of this myself.
Now, look here...
Everyone, get in the car.
There's no key.
Where's the key?
The driver probably had it...
So, it's in that monster?
It's still...
This is bad.
Tamako, can you move up a bit...
Shinichirou-sama, face this way.
If you kiss me, then I'll be able to-
I can't.
I can't move.
In this position, he'll only be able to kiss Sakuya.
This girl?!
"This girl"?!
You dare refer to your master that way?!
I'm not going to pay you for your work, then!
What does that mean?!
Um, I don't think this is the time...
We're all going to die at this rate!
B-But...
We're out of time!
Hurry!
We'll all close our eyes!
That's not the problem!
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Technique:
Murasame!
Is this...
Looks like we made it back.
What's that?
The car that the gloom car had possessed.
I thought we'd never make it back.
Thank goodness.
Nothing good about it!
You've kissed me without my permission twice now.
You're terrible!
Don't make me sound like some bad guy!
I didn't kiss you because I wanted to!
What was that?!
W-What?
I'll ask again.
Do you have any intention of giving Shinichirou-sama to me?
No.
Understood.
Huh?
Even if I took him now,
he might return to you.
I-I wouldn't...
I'll take my leave for today.
Hey, Suseri!
What are you...
I hate you, Nee-sama.
S-So what?
It's not just me.
There are many who are fed up with your selfishness,
after you simply up and left the mansion.
I know that.
That's why I left.
I wanted to show them how strong I am.
That is exactly why I will not allow you to become head of our family.
Suseri.
I won't give up.
So that's the successor to the Shimazu.
How adorable.
Amusingly so, even.
Have a wonderful time,
because I'm going to kill you in the most wonderfully brutal way.
