All right.
I'm going ahead.
Huh?
H-Hey, wait.
Hey, your lunch.
Wait, Shimazu!
A true name.
When someone learns what it is,
they fall under that person's control and must obey their orders.
U-Uh, I just...
Your lunch...
You just want me to take it, right?
Right?!
I can't disobey you anymore, anyway...
Huh?

Episode 6: Promise
I'm gonna go buy some bread.
Sure.
This sucks.
Ever since that happened, things have been awkward with Shimazu.
I get that she didn't want anyone to know her true name,
and it must've been a huge shock to her, but...
Why was she that upset?
Sakuya, where do you want to eat?
Oh, Asano-kun...
Uh...
Huh?
Oh, I...
H-Hey, Sakuya!
What's wrong?
Sensei!
Huh?
Sakuya is scared.
Of me?
No.
She's scared that she might lose her right as the heir.
She is?
Why?
When you know someone's true name, they have to submit to you completely.
That wouldn't do for the head of the family.
It's the Shimazu rule to immediately exile someone for that.
So it's my fault that...
The final decision rests with the leader, but...
Please take care of Sakuya if the worst happens.
She's all alone.
All alone?
I didn't even think about that.
I never thought about why she was living alone.
I never asked her about her parents, either.
Why...
Shinichirou, welcome back!
I've been waiting for you.
I was...
Why are you naked?
What happened to your clothes?
Clothes are too restricting.
You know...
Uh, this isn't...
What?
You got a problem?
She's scary...
What am I supposed to do?
Are you worried?
Because she's been avoiding you?
I don't blame her.
Because you kissed her forcibly?
Huh?
Kissed?
If you hadn't done that, you both would have died.
That may be true, but...
You should just forget about that cold-hearted sister of mine.
Shinichirou-sama, give me your power, too.
It's over for Sakuya-neesama.
She won't give up because of something like this.
You know that, right?
I thought you'd say that.
Huh?
I wouldn't feel right becoming the head of the family like this.
Please take care of my sister.
They're acting like they already won.
Sagiri-sama is quite a troublemaker.
Weren't you pushing for Suseri yourself?
The proper decision will be made after they both reach adulthood.
Also-
Well, just leave it to me.
Talk to you later.
Leader, it's time.
We will now begin the conference to discuss how we will deal with Shimazu Sakuya.
Why are you following me?
We live in the same house, you know...
Ouch...
Don't push yourself.
Here.
I feel bad about it.
Did you bring me here just to tell me that?
I heard that you might lose your right as heir because of me.
I see.
I was totally focused on saving you,
and I had no idea about all that...
I don't know why you're so fixated on being the heir,
but my actions ended up hurting you.
I'm really sorry.
What did you see?
What?
Didn't you see something when you learned my true name?
Actually, yeah... I saw you lying down in an old house.
I think you were around kindergarten age...
And then someone gave you that doll.
I see.
I didn't really get what was going on, though.
I see.
He liked places where he could see the ocean.
Huh?
My father, I mean.
Your father?
Yeah.
He'd gaze at the ocean like this all the time.
So...
Why don't you live with him?
He's in Kamakura, right?
No, he's not.
Mother and Father both went missing eight years ago.
Eight years ago, they went to fight a spectre,
and neither of them returned.
Nadeshiko and my grandmother were with them, and they were badly hurt.
They wouldn't tell me what happened.
Not only that...
From then on, talking about my parents became taboo in the household.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Why?
Because my father was a Western mage.
It's very rare for an outsider to enter the Shimazu family.
Your strength and level of spiritual power is almost completely determined by genetics.
Although there are exceptions like you, too.
To make the power you've inherited even stronger, you marry within your clan.
Even in Japan, the leading magic clans have done things this way for centuries in order to ensure their supremacy.
Do you know what type of opposition there would be to a Western mage in a family like that?
I think I can guess.
It's worse than you could even imagine.
Of course my father was hated, but my mother was, too, for marrying him.
And then I was born between them, so even I...
That girl's blood is tainted.
She's a complete disgrace to us.
I'm sure she'll bring disaster upon us.
How terrible!
We'd be better off if she hadn't been born.
No one will tell me what happened to my mother or father,
or even if they're alive!
But I have to know!
If they're going to hide the truth from me,
then I'll become the head of the family!
So that's why...
If I become the head of the Shimazu family,
I won't let anyone complain.
I'll get them to recognise me by brute force,
and then I'll find my mother and father.
I'm back.
What's this?
It just arrived.
Who's it from?
What's wrong?
"Tokiharu"?
A mirror...
It looks really old.
Shinichirou?!
Shinichirou!
What's going on?
We were sucked in.
Into the mirror?
I let my guard down.
The main family's house...
Someone's coming!
Do you know them?
It can't be...
Father...
Father!
Mother!
Y-You're...
I won't let you put your hands on them again.
I'm going to protect Mother and Father!
A living mirror...
What's that?
It's a spectre that draws out negative emotions from the people it sucks inside,
and uses them to toy with their hearts.
Its victims have their mental state destroyed, and then...
No, Shinichirou!
Don't!
Tamako-san!
What are you doing?!
Shinichirou is...
If you break the mirror, they won't be able to come back.
There's only one way for them to get out.
They have to defeat the spectre inside the mirror that's causing this.
Shimazu!
Stay back!
You're going to get caught in the crossfire!
The Shimazu stole my mother and father away from me.
I can't forgive them!
Tsumuha!
Tsumugare!
I won't lose to the likes of you.
You forgot Mother and Father,
and you think only of becoming the next head!
No!
I'm trying to become the next head so I can find them!
That's a lie!
You just want revenge on the people who detested you.
Y-You're wrong!
Liar!
Where am I?
Father! Mother!
Wait!
Don't go!
No... It's too cruel...
Give me back my mother and father...
It's an illusion...
I...
That girl's blood is tainted.
How terrible!
We'd be better off if she hadn't been born.
Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up!
When I become head of the family, I'm going to...
I'm going to...
kill them.
N-No...
They ripped our family apart.
They cursed my father,
and despised my mother...
and hated me.
We can't help that.
I'm upset and sad about it, but...
You can forgive them?
I'm going to get them back when I become the head.
But...
I'm going to destroy the Shimazu.
Stop it!
This is how you really feel.
You want to get revenge against the Shimazu, who made you miserable.
That's the real reason you want to be the next head.
You're wrong!
You just heard it from your own mouth.
The swirling, black hatred you hold toward the Shimazu, deep within your heart.
Shut up!
I think I'd get along with you,
a Shimazu daughter nobody wanted.
Shut up!
You're wrong...
Get a hold of yourself, Shimazu!
Shimazu.
You're wrong... You're wrong...
She's right.
We're despised as the black sheep of the Shimazu.
You're wrong...
Then die!
Are you okay, Shimazu?
Stay back!
A bow of any wood, be it catalpa, spindle, or zelkova...
...recedes when the arrow is fired.
Send this spirit home.
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Final Technique:
Habakiri!
Shimazu!
Stop it!
That's enough!
I don't want to see you fighting like this.
I've never seen such hilarious fakes!
The Shimazu should kill each other!
Why?!
Why are you going so far?!
Because I hate them.
I hate the Shimazu for killing me.
Killed you?
I won't forgive you.
If they want to survive, they have to become one.
Become one?
She has to accept the hatred in her heart.
You want to get revenge on the Shimazu, right?
Do so, then.
It's simple.
This was always a part of you.
Just admit it.
Why are you fighting?
You have these painful memories,
these sad memories, yet why do you fight?
For who?
I...
It's time to release this burden.
You are me.
I am you.
Now, let's protect Mother and Father together,
from the detestable Shimazu.
No!
She's not you.
Shinichirou?
I don't know what happened to you when you were younger.
I'm sure it was hard on you.
It might have been painful,
but you're not the same person you were then!
The girl I know is selfish, strong-willed, and arrogant.
But she's not so weak as to be ruled by hatred.
Shut up! That's enough!
You're fighting to find your mother and father.
I'll help you find them!
So don't give in!
Shinichirou...
That's right.
I'm not the person I was.
I now have...
Wait!
Shinichirou!
Shimazu!
This girl's true name is Kousuisen!
Damn you!
You're finished,
Kousuisen!
Stop it...
You can rest in peace.
I understand how you feel.
Then...
But that's enough.
That's enough.
Foolish girl.
Goodbye.
The mirror...
Where's Shinichirou?!
Looks like we're safe.
We were shot out in a pretty weird place.
I'm just glad we were able to get back.
I wasn't sure what was going to happen that time.
She got away again.
There'll be a next time.
Though, to be honest, I don't really want to see her again.
Shimazu?
Huh?
Why am I...
This is weird.
I'm not even sad.
It's okay.
I told you I'd help you find your mother and father.
Really?
Yeah.
Let's find them together.
Yeah, it's a promise.
What do you want to have for dinner tonight?
Irish stew.
What? Again?
I want Irish stew!
But that's really hard to make.
I want it every day until we find my parents.
Oh, all right.
I guess I'll try it with mutton tonight.
I'll help you with the shopping.
Let's go!
H-Hey.
Today is special.
Sure, sure.
Listen,
about what just happened...
Yeah, I know.
You crying will be our secret.
Right?
Don't say that!
Ow, ow...
Jerk! Jerk!
Okay, I get it, Shimazu.
You can call me Sakuya.
Huh?
You already know my true name.
No point in denying it now, right?
Sure, Sakuya.
