You're late.
Sakuya?
How long were you gonna make me wait?
Huh?
Did we agree to meet up?
Sakuya?
W-We never know when that vile woman might send more spectres!
What would you do if something happened while we were apart, you jerk?!
Yeah, but...
You got a problem?!
Is being with me inconvenient for you?
No...
I see no issue, then.
Let's go.
Hey, wait.
Suseri-sama, is something the matter?
No.

Episode 7: Light and Dark
I'm back.
Welcome back!
Shinichirou!
Not again, you perverted cat!
I waited all day to see him.
What are you doing, Tamako?
Yeah, but...
"But" nothing!
I keep telling you to put on some underwear!
Yeah, that's why I have this.
That's...
I tried a bunch of things, but I can't figure out how to put one on.
T-Those are all mine!
What were you thinking?!
But these were the only ones in the house!
I'm going to kill you.
Meow!
Wait, wait, calm down!
Don't do that, Tamako.
You can't take other people's stuff.
But...
No "buts."
Taking other people's stuff makes you a thief.
Besides, Sakuya's are too small for you.
I appreciate that you tried to put on some underwear,
but there's a right way to go about it.
Too small...
I'm sorry they're too small.
Huh?
No, that's not what I meant...
C-Cut it out!
Yeah, I know I'm just a...
Sakuya, I'm sorry!
What are you two doing?
How long are you gonna stay on me?!
We were close.
I told you it'd be impossible to get the Shimazu girl to join us.
Why didn't you leave this to me?
Spectres are just a waste of time.
I could have finished her right there!
Why?!
Sakuya is the head of that despicable Shimazu family!
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Killing her right away would be boring.
I'll keep tormenting her,
and I'll only kill her when she's fallen deep into despair.
It hurts...
That's what you get.
What is it?
Nothing.
Listen...
Sorry about earlier.
Don't apologise.
I'm not this small because I want to be.
I think you're fine the way you are.
What does that mean?
You're saying I might as well stay small?
No.
What, then?
You're pitying me?
No.
I bet girls like Suseri are your type, right?
What are you getting mad for?
I'm not mad.
Just listen.
I...
I think you're...
Asano-kun, are you there?
Are you out?
I'm here!
Take this.
This is Yashaou, right?
It's the katana whose true name you learned.
You need a weapon to fight spectres, right?
Are you sure?
I've gotten the leader's permission.
Can you use a katana?
I'm not sure...
Don't worry.
If you order Yashaou to do so, it'll save you.
So it'll do all the work.
That's fine.
It always bothered me.
You and Tamako have been doing all the fighting,
and I felt like I just slowed you down.
That's not true.
Maybe now I can help out a little.
That's a surprise.
I never would've guessed you'd be into kendo gear.
I'm not!
I just said I wanted to see the kendo club practice!
I know how you feel.
The moment they take off their armour,
when their sweat-drenched boobs jiggle...
If you see the appeal in that, you really are a master.
You know...
Ohkubo again?
He's still not tired of that?
Isn't that Asano-kun next to him?
Whoa, you're right!
I didn't think Asano liked to peep, too.
Did you know that, Sakuya?
But isn't the kendo club in there today?
He's usually watching the volleyball club.
"The way their boobs bounce when they jump is awesome!"
What's the problem?
I'm sure he's just interested in kendo.
We shouldn't bug them.
Let's go.
He's late.
Getting all serious like that...
I think you're...
Shinichi-
Sorry, I'm not Shinichirou.
I'm not waiting for him.
Your face is red.
T-That's from the sunset.
What?
You need something?
I heard that Shinichirou-sama accepted Yashaou.
Yes.
Now he'll be of some use.
Is that okay with you?
Is what okay?
Shinichirou-sama will be directly in the line of fire.
His life will be in danger.
Don't say things like that!
I'm just worried about him.
If you're having fun all the time, you lose sight of what's important.
What does that mean?
You are the one who involved Shinichirou-sama in all of this.
Sakuya.
What's wrong?
Oh, it's nothing.
What is that? A fire?!
We've temporarily shut down the subway.
I'm sure that caused quite a panic.
The main family is handling it just fine.
Everything got dark, huh?
We should watch where we step.
Don't worry, Shinichirou.
I can see in the dark, so I'll lead-
Are you really a cat?
What are we up against?
All we know is that a train passing through here was attacked out of nowhere.
Are the passengers okay?
We'll just have to see for ourselves.
They're okay.
They've had their life forces taken,
but they won't die.
That's good.
I don't see any physical injuries.
What happened here?
I don't know.
This is unsettling.
They won't get up and start attacking us like zombies, right?
We're getting out of here.
We need to find the spectre.
Where did it go?
Probably to find its next target.
Hey, it's a fire!
This is bad.
If the smoke surrounds us in here, we're done for.
Calm down.
Suseri, you know...
If it were a fire, the fire alarms would be going off.
But...
If the fire alarms aren't detecting it...
It's smoke, but not smoke.
A smoke spirit.
A smoke spirit?
A spectre made of smoke, just as it sounds like.
That explains why the passengers weren't injured.
It takes your life force if you breathe it in.
But you could also say that's its only ability.
I'm taking it out now.
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Technique: Tsumuha!
Huh?
It's not working!
Tsumugare!
The arrows aren't working.
I've had enough of this!
Tamako!
Take this!
Tamako-chan, don't breathe in the smoke!
Hold your breath, Tamako!
Now come back over here.
What's wrong, Tamako?!
Damn it! Tamako!
Shinichirou-sama, stand back.
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi!
Now, Tamako!
Are you okay, Tamako?!
I thought I was going to die...
Don't worry me like that.
Everyone, run!
And turn our backs on it?
The enemy is smoke itself.
Physical attacks won't work.
It's spreading out.
We're at a disadvantage in this tunnel.
It's after us.
It attacked that train to lure us here.
It's a trap.
Everyone, run!
Hurry!
It's catching up!
There's no other way out of here?
We have to get to the next station!
No way!
We're almost there!
Looks like we lost it.
Shinichirou, ahead of us!
We were almost there!
We won't go down that easy.
I'll fight until the end!
Don't be reckless, Sakuya.
But...
There's still a way.
What way is there?
Subways must have a way to clear out smoke in case of fire, right?
Of course!
A ventilation system!
Sensei, where's the switch?
I think it's on the station platform.
Probably next to the emergency alarm.
How can we get there?
I know I can cut him apart momentarily.
I'll do it.
Shinichirou?
Shinichirou, I'll go.
You wouldn't know what to do.
Then I'll use my Kamaitachi.
A katana is the best thing to cut through.
It's a good thing I have Yashaou now.
But...
No time to hesitate.
Let's go.
Help me, Yashaou.
Shinichirou!
All right. I can do this.
Tsumuha!
There it is!
Yasha...
Shinichirou!
You can't, Sakuya!
But Shinichirou is...
Shinichirou!
I'm...
I'm not going to lose.
Shinichirou!
You did it, Shinichirou!
Shinichirou-sama...
Shinichirou!
He's not breathing.
This isn't good.
We need to hurry!
Shinichirou, you can't die!
What should I do...
Sakuya-sama, do CPR!
Huh?
Hurry!
Please... Come back to us.
Shinichirou...
Asano-kun.
Suseri?
I'm going after the smoke spirit.
Come back, Shinichirou.
Please!
What happened to Shimazu Sakuya?
Looks like she didn't manage to take out the smoke spirit.
Is she doing okay?
I don't have to answer you.
You'll want to give me an answer soon.
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi!
You still haven't realised that your attacks won't work?
You're the one who doesn't realise.
Realise what?
Kamaitachi.
The Kamaitachi cuts through air.
The wind is on my side in a place like this.
I should have been able to protect him.
Repent with your life for your actions against Shinichirou-sama.
You're next.
Are you sure?
Father hasn't forbidden me from fighting you.
Shinichirou-sama.
Shinichirou...
How is he?
Come back to us, Shinichirou!
I still haven't heard what you were about to say...
And you're supposed to help me find Mother and Father, right?
Don't... Don't leave me!
Kamaitachi!
Boring.
This is how you slice something apart.
You're already finished?
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Yamaoroshi!
Pointless.
Oh, how cute.
Kamaitachi!
You're not even worth playing with.
Bye-bye.
Shinichirou!
We've revived him!
I'm so glad...
Be strong, Shinichirou.
What happened to me?
You jerk!
Sakuya?
Jerk! Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
I'm not sure what's going on,
but I'm sorry.
Jerk...
Shinichirou-sama, are you okay?
Yeah, these talismans really work.
Where's Suseri?
She went after the smoke spirit.
I don't think it poses any danger outside the subway.
Suseri!
Where are you?
Looking for this?
Suseri!
Suseri-san!
It can't be...
She's not dead yet.
See?
Suseri!
She was really boring.
I don't need a toy like this.
Suseri-san!
Shinichirou!
I'm fine.
Help Suseri-san!
Hold on, Suseri-sama!
I'll heal you now.
You all should just get rid of her, too.
How dare you...
Not just Shinichirou, but Suseri, too...
Don't get mad.
I'm just playing around.
Why are you doing these terrible things?
Why are you trying to torment Sakuya and the others?!
Who are you?
"You"?
That's not my name, I'll have you know.
You can call me...
Isuca.
It's a great name, isn't it?
My beloved father gave it to me.
That's a lie.
That's a lie!
Sakuya, no!
I offer myself to this bow, quiver, and feathered arrow.
Feast upon me and destroy my foes!
Sakuya!
Nee-sama...
Don't...
