01x07 - Ringo no deai

[bunniefuu]

Towa and Setsuna.

Between us half-demon twins,

two different worlds

exist at the same time.

Human and demon.

Feudal era and present day.

Peacefulness and w*r.

Joy and sorrow.

Dreams and reality.

One moment and eternity.

And finally, love and hate.

A Feudal Fairytale,

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

We'll keep moving forward

through the hurdles of destiny!

HALF-DEMON GIRL - TOWA HIGURASHI

It's here.

Nice work, Towa.

Nanasuke, Rokuta,

be careful of its poison.

-Yeah!

-Leave it to us!

Bring it down, Hisui and Setsuna.

Cyclone Burst!

Hiraikotsu!

Amazing!

They're getting better

at working together.

DEMON SLAYER

SETSUNA

And Towa, you're getting better

at sensing demon energy.

Yeah, but just barely, I think

=title

"Meeting through an Apple"

ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS - KYUKI

Master.

BEAST KING RULING THE FOUR PERILS

KIRINMARU

It is I, Kyuki.

Tokotsu has been defeated by Beniyasha

and the daughters of Sesshomaru.

The daughters of Sesshomaru?

Unless we take action,

I fear they will bring you disaster

By the way, Kyuki,

who is this Tokotsu again?

He was one of the Four Perils

under your command.

The one to whom you bestowed

the Red Rainbow Pearl.

Ah, that's right

If Tokotsu served under me,

then he must have been quite the warrior.

Defeated by Sesshomaru's daughters

I must hand it to them.

If you would allow me,

I can take care of this matter.

It's not to my taste

Understood. Then I shall start with

Sesshomaru's daughters.

VILLAGE ELDER PRIESTESS

KAEDE

Welcome back.

I'm back.

That's right. Hey, Setsuna!

Can you play your violin?

That's fine.

Mama Moe would play for me

whenever I came home after a fight

We sure bought

a lot of stuff, huh, Setsuna?

Are you sure

it's okay to buy so much?

Don't worry about it!

It'll be my treat for today.

Thank you.

Oh, that's right. Here.

Come on, Setsuna, you too.

Oh, thank goodness.

Setsuna can finally fall asleep.

I'm glad.

I'm so glad

We're not taking Towa with us?

No.

What? She went to slay demons?

Without me?

You were sleeping so peacefully.

Unbelievable!

How can she leave me behind?

It's like It's like she thinks

I'm in the way or something!

But I guess I'll have to

prove that I can be reliable!

Are you heading out?

I'm off to find Mount Musubi's butterfly.

After all, that's why

I came to this world.

Okay, I'm heading out!

East is that way. Okay, let's go!

Geez, this tastes disgusting.

I guess it's pointless

to use a modern map

KANTO AREA ROAD MAP

There's not a single thing

Moroha brought that's actually useful.

You seemed troubled

by something, Mr. Samurai.

PIRATE WASHED ASHORE - RIKU

Is something the matter?

Oh, I'm no one suspicious,

I promise you.

Okay, then don't bother me.

Oh no, I can't do that.

I'm also lost, you see.

"Also"? Don't loop me in with you.

But you have lost your way,

haven't you?

I haven't lost my way,

I'm looking for the Dream Butterfly.

I doubt butterflies are common

at this time of year.

I heard there are some

at Mount Musubi.

What's this?

I thought you were a samurai,

but you're a princess.

I'm terribly sorry for my mistake.

Please wait, my princess.

I'm having trouble finding

my way back to my ship.

Ship? Does that mean the ocean is nearby?

That's the one thing I'm sure of.

Dang it. I thought I was heading

to the mountains,

but I ended up closer to the sea.

You're right,

I smell water from that direction.

Thank you.

Okay, let's go.

Whoa, hey!

TEAMASTER - SOKYU

So this is the ocean?

I guess it's a bit too small

to be an ocean!

But if I follow this river,

it'll lead me to the ocean.

Thank you, you've been a great help.

This feels nice.

Feels perfect for a picnic.

Oh, wow.

Is that some kind of magic trick?

Anyone can do this

with a little bit of focus!

I'm sure you can, too, Princess.

You think so?

Hey Mister, care to join me?

Not to be rude, Princess,

but I'm no "Mister."

The name is Riku.

And yours, Princess?

Well, I'm no princess.

I'm Towa Higurashi.

So you're Riku, huh? Got it.

Just remember me as

Riku the pirate, Lady Towa.

What? You're a pirate?

Rest assured. I don't take

from women, children, or the poor.

Wow, these are all fascinating things.

And these are all edible?

Help yourself!

Well, don't mind if I do!

Delicious! Such a wonderful flavor.

I've never had something so delicious!

Yeah, I think that apple tastes the best.

Selective breeding has come a long way,

and things taste much better now.

So this is an apple.

Unbelievable! A taste like this would

surely banish you from paradise.

Oh, and I'll take the core

once you're done.

Can't be having it take root

and mess up the course of history!

I ate the whole thing, core and all!

Thank you for the hospitality.

As one abandoned by his master,

it's more than I deserve

Lady Towa,

you've fed me the forbidden fruit.

Huh? Forbidden fruit?

Anyway, Lady Towa,

could that katana be the Kikujumonji?

It was a fake, apparently.

It broke pretty easily.

I should think so.

The real one should be

with Ogigayatsu Hiiragi,

the Deputy Shogun of Kanto,

as it was bestowed from the shogun.

The shogun? Deputy Shogun of Kanto?

Well, I must repay

your kindness for the apple.

If fate allows it, we shall meet again.

Until then, farewell.

Hey!

Wait, you forgot this.

I would like to present that to you

as a gift. Please accept it.

What is this?

I hope you like it, dear princess.

A katana?

Wait, is this real?

Amazing. So this is the real thing

I recently stole that katana

from Ogigayatsu Hiiragi,

so it's the genuine Kikujumonji.

There he goes.

Who was he anyway?

Hey, you there.

We are retainers of the Deputy Shogun,

Ogigayatsu Hiiragi.

So you're the one who stole

that katana a few days ago!

Uh, no, I

We're taking you into custody!

Wait, I didn't steal this!

We've captured you,

Princess Half-Demon.

Those clothes are,

without a doubt, from the other world.

An apparition?

Lord Sokyu, we also found

these tea ceremony utensils.

Bring all of it back to the estate.

Yes, sir.

Are you the one they call

Princess Half-Demon?

I am the Deputy Shogun of Kanto,

Ogigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo.

The name's Towa Higurashi.

Sorry, but I'm no

Princess Half-Demon.

So she says, Sokyu.

My Lord, let me, if you will.

Princess Half-Demon, I have here

a book that you were carrying.

That idiot! Why'd she have to

bring that back with her?

You know, you should

take my advice and let me go.

Things won't be so hot

when my friends get here.

Such nonsense.

There is something

I would like for you to see.

Is that a bike seat?

You recognize what this is!

Indeed. It seems

she knows something.

What's a thing like that doing here?

There used to be rumors

in the Musashi Province

of a priestess who came through

the Bone Eater's Well

from a place called "Tokyo."

Tokyo? Well? Priestess?

She and a half-demon named Inuyasha

traveled the land slaying demons.

What I'm about to share is a tale

that I heard over a decade ago.

She went to find

Mount Musubi's butterfly?

She mentioned wanting to prove

that she wasn't a nuisance.

And here I thought

you were being happily tamed.

Of course this happens

once the collar comes off.

Are you heading to

Mount Musubi as well?

No, I'm going to search for the dog

that strayed from the pack.

So this time it's Kyuki,

one of the Four Perils.

These requests to slay

big name demons keep coming in.

Who keeps requesting 'em, huh?

Takechiyo, I know you know something.

It's better that you don't know.

Master Jyubei said the requests

are from someone he can't say no to.

I see.

Master Jyubei has graciously

given you advance payment.

You need to stop complaining

and carry out your job!

Geez, I know.

She was definitely here,

but Mount Musubi is the other way.

Hey, Setsuna!

I got another demon slaying job

from Mr. Jyubei.

I see.

Huh? You're not with Towa today?

Looks like she got lost somewhere.

I've been trying to reach her,

but she hasn't responded.

Hah! So she's hopeless, as usual.

That's strange.

According to Master Jyubei,

Towa is the most reliable out of you

three Half-Demon Princesses.

What do you mean?

She's the most useless one.

I even have proof.

She's close to where Kyuki is located.

You're kidding.

And she's gained an audience

with Ogigayatsu Hiiragi Danjo,

the Deputy Shogun of Kanto.

She's probably accepting

a gift as her reward by now!

I have a bad feeling about this.

Hey, wait a sec, Setsuna.

It's the Deputy Shogun's estate, right?

Takechiyo, can you take us?

Fine, but this time,

make sure to get Kyuki's head!

So you've come, Half-Demon Princesses.

With this, the Gold, Silver,

and Red Rainbow Pearls will gather,

and in one fell swoop,

I will have four Rainbow Pearls.

If I succeed, I'll possess

more demon energy than Master Kirinmaru.

Fubuki, steal the Rainbow Pearls

from those girls!

Not to worry.

I can simply leave the

Silver Rainbow Pearl to Yotsume.

And that demon was Root Head,

which spread its roots underground

and absorbed nutrients from humans.

It's here.

ICE AND SNOW DEMON BEAST - FUBUKI

It was waiting to ambush us.

Is that Kyuki?

That's one of Kyuki's underlings,

an apparition named Fubuki.

I've heard of it.

An ice and snow demon beast

that nests in the North.

Ice and snow

Moroha.

Should I do it?

Don't use your rouge.

I can take small fry with this.

Scourge of Swallows!

Does it not have a real body?

That's not it.

That giant form is like fog.

Its main body is hiding somewhere.

Damn it, where could it be?

But then, Root Head said

Setsuna and Moroha are close by.

"I'll eat you whole,

Shikon Jewel and all!"

Apparitions sure do talk a lot.

And there's one more. It's small,

but I sense another apparition.

Setsuna and the others

must be fighting that tiny polar bear.

Come on, focus. I have to save Setsuna.

There!

I heard Towa's breath.

Really?

She's at the village over there.

Fubuki's main body is there, too.

I see, so that's how it is. If so

I found it. It's Fubuki's main body.

Pierce through

Sacred Arrow!

Now!

Yes! We did it.

Hate to admit it, but I think

what Mr. Jyubei said might be true.

About what?

That Towa might be

the most reliable out of the three of us.

She causes us the most trouble, too.

Now, Princess Half-Demon,

if you would regale us with your tale

You know, don't you?

What will happen to the Shogunate?

The fate of our clan?

Your Excellency

What is it?

Run.

What?

-Hey!

-Intruder!

You'll get hurt if you stay here.

What is happening?

-Intruder!

-Shut up!

They're so weak.

Come on Towa, we're going home!

Quit loafing around here.

You are such a handful

Thank you, Setsuna and Moroha.

Who are you?

Who are we? Well

Oh? I knew I smelled

something strange in the air.

So it was you, Yotsume!

Since you're here,

I might as well take you out, too!

You're attacking too soon!

An apparition?

-Oh, sh*t!

-You're open!

What a sore loser

Wait, Moroha.

He seems to know things.

We should nab him and make him talk.

Then we do have to chase after him!

Your Excellency.

I'll be taking this.

Who were they?

Oh, that's right.

And I'll be taking this, too.

NEW SOCIAL STUDIES AND HISTORY

Well, see you around!

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

The owl demon Yotsume.

I'll catch him and find out

whatever he's scheming!

I won't let you get away.

Heavenly Arrow Barrage!

But he uses the power

of a Rainbow Pearl

to unleash a cruel spell.

He's searching for weaknesses

by looking inside our heads.

Who is this woman?

Next time

on Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon:

"The Dream Gazing Trap"

How pitiful.

Do you not agree,

daughter of Sesshomaru?
