Who's there?!
W-What's going on?

Episode 4: Shadow Play
You're pretty good.
Of course I am.
Do you practice every morning?
It's my duty as head of the Shimazu family to always be prepared for a fight.
So, Suseri-san does the same?
Why did you have to mention her?
I was just...
I'm the head of the Shimazu family.
I know.
I know that.
So what if her boobs are a little bigger?
Isn't it better to have them than not?
No, I didn't mean I prefer them big.
They say smaller ones are more sensitive...
What am I even saying?
Just get breakfast ready!
I'm hungry.
R-Right!
Morning.
That's an expensive car.
Maybe it's a celebrity?
Huh?
Isn't that...
Suseri.
Good morning, Shinichirou-sama.
That uniform...
I've transferred in.
What?!
I have little to offer, but please be good to me.
She's cute.
She's like the image of purity.
Better yet, look at her chest!
It's pretty big.
I wonder what cup size she is.
G? No, she's got to be an H.
What are they all worked up about?
The transfer student.
The new girl in first year.
Suseri Shimazu-san, was it?
All the guys are drooling over her.
How stupid.
Is she related to Sakuya?
They've got the same last name.
I don't know.
I haven't heard anything.
Hey, Asano-kun, do you know?
Huh?
No, I don't, really...
Don't lie, Asano.
What do you mean?
She talked to you this morning, right?
Someone saw you guys.
You've been hanging around Sakuya Shimazu, too.
Why don't you tell us what's going on?
That wasn't really...
They've started running.
Look at that jiggling!
Let me see!
Thank you, God...
But the other girls in her grade are saying people don't think that highly of the new girl.
Why not?
She doesn't speak, even if you talk to her.
She's kind of hard to approach, they say.
She probably just hasn't gotten used to school life here.
Maybe so.
Chemistry Prep Room
What are you after?!
Shinichirou-sama.
Huh?
You transferred here just to chase after some guy?
Hah!
That's quite a step, for a shy girl like you.
That's not all there is to it.
I can't count on you to handle all of this.
What do you mean?
Don't you think it's weird?
Why do you think a bunch of gates are opening up near the school?
Isn't it just a coincidence?
I think there's meaning behind it.
Are you saying someone's opening those gates?
It's a distinct possibility.
That's not possible.
No, actually, we checked the car that had been possessed by that gloom car,
and we found evidence of a magic circle in the burnt remains of the car, albeit faint.
A magic circle?
If someone is purposely calling forth spectres,
it would be a huge problem for us.
We don't know that's the case, though.
But you didn't notice.
Or you did, and you chose not to inform us.
Are you saying I purposely-
It shouldn't be a surprise that someone would suspect you.
If someone's using magical circles, they would be a Western mage-
Suseri!
Shimazu!
You didn't have to hit her.
Shut up.
Can't you try getting along with her a little better?
Not happening.
Suseri-san has to get up at 4 AM and travel from Kamakura every morning.
I'm sure it's hard for her.
Why not let her stay-
Not happening.
You know, I get the fact that you two are rivals...
No, you don't!
Nadeshiko said so herself.
The people in the main family don't want me to be the next head!
Something about you not being suited for the role?
That seems to be what they think.
Why?
Why aren't you suited for it?
Was what just happened-
This has nothing to do with you!
I just have to seal away a bunch of spectres and show them how strong I am!
The people in the main family will have no choice but to recognise me.
Shimazu...
Hey, Shimazu.
Is there something else?
What do you want for dinner?
Huh?
I'll make whatever you want.
Irish stew.
Irish?
I don't know how to make that...
I want Irish stew!
Seriously?
There's a distinct possibility that someone is opening those gates.
We believe it was part of a magic circle.
It shouldn't be a surprise that someone would suspect you.
If someone's using magical circles, they would be a Western mage.
Father...
There's no need to tell Sakuya-neesama.
What's this?
I knew it...
I told you I wanted stew.
I looked up Irish stew,
but there were a bunch of recipes, and I didn't know what to do.
It doesn't taste right at all!
Well, it's hard to work with stuff like that...
No, remake it.
I really tried, too.
I'm hungry today, so I'll make do with this,
but you better make my Irish stew correctly next time!
Sure.
I'll get it right next time.
The light hasn't changed at all.
There doesn't seem to be any doubt.
Here it comes!
An undead samurai!
Huh?
It went right through...
Damn you!
Take this!
We need backup, now!
There's an undead samurai-
What?!
It seems we're up against an undead samurai.
It wiped out a reconnaissance team, so it's probably rather strong.
Wiped out?
Why did they act without informing me?!
They should've reported to me first!
Yes, however...
Suseri?
That idiot.
We put a barrier up over the entire park.
We've got him trapped, then.
Um, Suseri-sama, shouldn't we have told Sakuya-sama?
There's no need.
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi.
Suseri-sama!
Kamaitachi!
In that case...
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Yamaoroshi!
It's already over, Nee-sama.
What do you mean, "over"?
People died because you just went off on your own.
Looks like it's not over.
They just keep popping up!
It's pathetic.
I can't believe you got caught in a trap like this.
There's no problem if we take all of them out.
We're taking them all out at once.
Kamaitachi.
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Technique:
Tsumugare!
They're good.
S-Seriously?
It looks like that one's the boss.
Shinichirou, do you know his true name?
N-No...
Then we'll just have to do this.
Kamaitachi!
These guys...
So, the same trick won't keep working.
What are we going to do?
I have a good idea.
Please kiss me, Shinichirou-sama.
A-Again?
How is that a good idea?!
Stop messing around!
If you share your spiritual energy with me,
I'll get rid of them all for you.
I think this is the best plan.
But I, uh... You know?
Why are you asking me?!
Are you okay with this, then?
I didn't say that!
Will you kiss Shinichirou-sama, then?
You've got to be kidding!
Then there's no problem.
Shinichirou-sama, please go ahead.
We can beat them without doing stuff like that!
Shinichirou, lure him.
You'll get that piece of junk in the right position, and I'll shoot him.
R-Right!
Tamako.
Yeah.
Out of the way!
Hey! Over here!
Come on! Come!
Just a little bit further...
Crap!
Shinichirou!
Don't you lay your hands on Shinichirou!
You did well,
but...
Shinichirou,
did you see me kick him?
Yeah, you did great, Tamako.
I was the one who gave him the finishing blow.
So, what should we do with this armour?
We'll have the collection team deal with it later.
We can't seal him away without knowing his true name.
What's this?
We're going to withdraw for now!
What was that?
I finally understand.
I know why I can't take him out with my techniques.
What's going on?
That's a golem.
A golem...
A doll-like device that changes spiritual energy into usable energy.
Inside his helmet, the letters "emeth" were carved in.
It means "truth" in Hebrew,
and is the spell used to make the golem move.
It's not a spectre, then?
If a human made it, it couldn't have come from the other world.
Someone purposely set it upon us.
And that person...
A golem is a product of European-taught magic.
In other words, someone who uses Western magic.
Isn't that correct, Nee-sama?
That's correct.
So basically, since it's not a spectre, we can't take it out?
No, it's actually rather simple.
If you erase the first "e" from the word that powers the golem, "emeth,"
it creates the word "meth," which means death.
The golem will shut down after that.
But that's inside his helmet, right?
It'll be fine.
My Kamaitachi will-
No.
Judging from his movements, we won't be able to defeat him with long range attacks.
We'll have to steal his helmet and erase the letter ourselves.
How?
You'll do it, Shinichirou.
Golems are formidable,
but we can stop them from moving like we did before.
Erase the letter when the moment comes.
H-Hold on!
I can't do something so important-
You can.
I'm giving this task to you.
Understood.
All right.
We've got their attention.
Stop them from moving, Suseri!
Kamaitachi!
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Technique:
Murasame!
Tsumuha!
Do it now, Shinichirou!
Right here?
That scared me.
Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine.
It's finally over.
Nothing is over until we find the Western mage who cast this spell.
I know that.
What's that?
Now you've done it!
Tamako?
I'm never going to forgive you trying to hit me, too!
I'm going to kill you!
Wait! Don't get mad!
Shimazu?
W-What's this monstrous aura?
Hey, what's wrong?
Idiot!
Stay away!
A-Are you trying to kill me?!
It wasn't me!
The katana just...
Get a hold of yourself, Shimazu!
She can't.
That katana houses a spirit that was concealing a huge amount of spiritual power.
Anyone who takes hold of it will have their consciousness overridden.
That was the final trap.
That's correct.
I didn't think you'd fall for it so easily.
W-Who are you?!
The Western mage...
So, you're the one behind all this.
Correct again!
Remember my face well,
for I will be the one to send the head of the Shimazu family to Hell.
S-Shimazu?
S-Stop it, Shimazu!
This will make the perfect revenge!
Now you can all kill each other!
What are you doing to Shinichirou?!
I'll kill you.
Letting it take you over was your own failure.
Don't hate me for this.
Wait a second!
I'm sure there's still a way we can save her!
She'll kill you before you figure that out.
Kamaitachi.
Stop it!
Stop it now!
That's it.
Suffer more.
Shed more blood!
This is the perfect way for those wretched Shimazu to die!
If she kills Shinichirou-sama, Nee-sama will never be able to live with herself.
In that case, I can at least do the deed with my own hands...
Stop!
Shinichirou-sama?
You can't kill each other...
I won't let you!
But...
Shinichirou-sama!
Come back to us.
This doesn't suit you.
Okay?
Stop it, Shimazu.
Do you not know who I am?!
Shimazu...
Now, taint your hands with your friend's blood!
Stop it, Yashaou!
Shinichirou...
You'll pay for that!
A bow of any wood, be it catalpa, spindle, or zelkova,
recedes when the arrow is fired.
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Final Technique:
Habakiri!
Is that all you have?
You need to at least be able to do this.
I just wanted to say hi for today.
Next time, I'll show you true Hell.
You'll be looking forward to it, won't you, Shimazu girl?
