HALF-DEMON GIRL - TOWA HIGURASHI

THE SPIRIT KIRINMARU IS AFTER - AKURU

Who are you?

Lady Towa!

Rion! Riku!

Huh?

Is something wrong?

A boy was just here.

You were here all alone.

But more importantly, Lady Towa...

please allow us to accompany you.

Accompany me?

Aunt Zero is targeting your life.

What?

"Nanahoshi's Mini Galaxy."

So this is Nanahoshi's mansion.

I see.

It is indeed a fitting place
for one to die

and escape from their pain.

Welcome to my mansion.

My name is Nanahoshi.

I read the movement of the stars

to grant your wish.

After you grant my wish, Lord Nanahoshi,
what do you desire in return?

I desire the pain and sorrow
in your heart.

The tears of anguish from you commoners
make a most exquisite delicacy.

As rumored, you have
quite a peculiar diet, don't you?

If you do not wish for anything,
I will just take your tears anyway.

Go right ahead.

This is the finest aromatic wood
in the world, the Mini Galaxy.

If you provide it with people's sorrow,
it releases the most splendid fragrance.

What?

Did you enjoy peering into my heart?

It's as if you don't have any sorrow.

What is going on?

I have sealed away all of my tears
within these seven colored pearls.

Hence, I don't have any sorrow.

I-I can't move.

What do you plan to do with me?

I'm going to set a trap here.

I'm sure you won't mind,
will you, Nanahoshi?

DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA

What is that?

It's a hand... cream.

Setsuna, take this with you.

Some hand cream.

It smells of lavender.

Hand cream?

Your hands might get dry.

And I hear that village up north
is much colder than here.

Right.

Be careful while slaying demons.

Oh.

Are you wondering what this is?

Huh?

Oh, I wasn't talking to you, Hisui.

Must have been an apparition
or a spirit of some sort.

It's starting to snow.

Looks like we'll be seeing
lots of snow up north.

Let's hurry!

We need to get there
in time for our rendezvous.

Get in there!

Let me out! I'm innocent!

Be quiet!

We'll interrogate you shortly.

For what? I was just passing by.

We know you're working for Takechiyo!

You're really going to get it!

I guess they've figured everything out.

Which means struggling
won't get me anywhere.

So unique.

You mean this vehicle?

It's called a bicycle.

Yes, this is quite unique too.

But I was referring to you, Lady Towa.

Me?

Well, I suppose I'm an unusual
sort of person for this time period.

I have no choice but to keep my distance

so Kirinmaru won't find out
where they are.

Oh, dear.

It seems that might not be the case.

Lady Towa, you are a kind person.

But you are also very strong.

That is why I'd like to rely
on your help, Lady Towa.

Do you really think I'm strong?

I was told that I refuse to retreat,
which leaves me open for an attack.

No.

Lady Towa, you are a ray of light
that fills my heart and Riku's.

Sorry to interrupt your conversation...

but he's here, our troublesome guest.

A troublesome guest?

-Kirinmaru!
-Father!

BEAST KING - KIRINMARU

Don't worry.

I will protect both of you with my life.

KOHAKU

This is an impressive row of houses.

They seem pretty well-off.

Of course they are.

They were even able to hire
demon slayers from a faraway land.

Chief,

why is this area so wealthy?

It's all thanks
to the village shrine up ahead.

They enshrine golden grains known as
"the Blessing of the Five Grains."

It's said to bring good fortune.

And this village is the Gokoku Village
that requested our services?

That's right.

Hey there, Kohaku!

Kuzu! Yamata!

It's been a while.

How have you been?

We're doing well.
It's been 15 years, hasn't it?

The Chief of the North
gives you his regards.

The Chief of the North isn't joining us?

Said he can't fight
the effects of old age.

Goro here has come in his place.

I look forward to working with you.

This is Rokuta, Nanasuke,
Hisui, and Setsuna.

A female demon slayer.

We haven't seen one
since Lady Sango, have we?

Will this little girl be able
to do some proper demon-slaying?

Setsuna here is skilled enough
to rival my older sister.

She doesn't look that way to me.

If you want to test my skills,
I'll take you on at any time.

Don't bother, Setsuna.

This won't be an easy job.

We've been asked to slay
a large herd of Flame Bulls.

Flame Bulls?

They're cattle demons.

They go around burning houses

as well as mountains and forests.

FLAME BULL

Hold on, Kuzu.

Flame Bulls normally obey a local deity.

Why are they running wild?

This isn't a normal situation.

Their master, the local deity,
is ordering the Flame Bulls to go wild.

Which means that,
unless we appease the local deity,

we cannot stop the Flame Bulls.

Sounds troublesome, doesn't it?

It's a Flame Bull! A Flame Bull is here!

Hiraikotsu!

-It dodged it!
-Wait here, Kirara!

Scourge of Swallows!

She defeated that Flame Bull
with a single attack.

Now I see how her skills
might rival Lady Sango.

Nanasuke, Rokuta, go put out the flames!

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

You've raised a fine demon slayer, Kohaku.

No. She still has ways to go.

I think about now is a good time.

Ta-da!

Those raccoon dogs
didn't notice this handy item!

Yes!

Am I a genius or what?

My gut tells me that we should run away.

We absolutely should run.

But for some reason...

I just can't do that!

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

His Young Excellency!

Now then, let's see what's going on.

What have you done
with the intruder from last night?

What the hell?

That one looks exactly like Takechiyo!

We have placed her in the dungeon, sir.

If she is the daughter
of that priestess Kagome,

then she is an enemy
of the Full Moon Raccoon Dog.

Furthermore, if she is the daughter
of that half-demon Inuyasha,

she is the child of the fiend
who scarred my face!

Whoa! Sounds like they really hate me.

Are you certain that she
is working for my older brother?

There is no mistake.

Ah, my dear brother,

how I miss him.

Lord Kikunosuke.

Takechiyo is a villain
who ruined the Mamidaira Clan.

Please refrain
from addressing him as your brother!

That's right. My apologies.

Report!

The girl has escaped from the dungeon!

You fool! Search everywhere for her!

Yes, sir!

Guess I'll have to come back later
for my bow and arrow.

It's been a while, Rion.

It hasn't been that long.

I've been meeting you
in my dreams, Father.

Dreams are dreams. Reality is reality.

As long as you're enjoying the sensation
of walking this earth on your own feet,

that's all that matters.

This body is only a vessel
made of grave soil and bones.

Do you despise me, your father?

I cannot forgive you for the barrier
you placed on Mount Musubi.

You don't understand
why I did that, do you?

In that case, it cannot be helped.

However, I will not allow you

to interfere with my dream
to travel beyond space and time.

Even if you are my beloved daughter.

I will stop you!

Will you two be able to protect Rion?

I will protect Rion!

Rion, you gave her your talisman sword?

Since I'm facing the Zanseiken,
there's no need for me to hold back.

Let's make this a fair fight!

Rion, get a good look at how much
more powerful your father has become.

-How shameless.
-Lady Towa!

Now is not the time to be crossing swords.

I won't stand down!

Lady Towa.

Huh?

That was close!

It's that kid.

What is it? What do you see?

Miss Rion...

do you see or sense anything?

No, not a thing.

You can see Akuru?

He left.

All right then! Let's get started!

Was that child holding a pinwheel?

Why are you asking that? Of course he was.

You truly are Sesshomaru's daughter.

The ability to see Akuru
might be unique to your clan.

Huh?

Father!

The Windmill of Time no longer favors you.

Your time has ended.

Then let's see you try to end it.

I believe that the world
that has yet to come lies with Lady Towa.

That also sounds amusing.

However...

since you have chosen
to defy your own father,

be prepared for a difficult path ahead!

Get back here, Kirinmaru!

-Lady Towa!
-Riku!

We'll meet again, Sesshomaru's daughter.

Riku, I'm sorry!

That was all my fault.

I let my guard down.

My eyes were injured.

LOCAL DEITY - MAYONAKA

First a shaman, and now demon slayers?

As always, these people are such fools.

Sir, what are they doing?

I asked the shaman to start a blizzard.

Then this blizzard...

It is the result of his prayers.

The Flame Bulls
won't attack during a blizzard.

It'll weaken the flames of their horns.

If that solves things,
then there was no reason to call on us.

It's not that simple.

We can't carry on
with our normal lives like this.

Once the blizzard dies down,

the Flame Bulls
will attack in a giant herd.

Is that a safe assumption, sir?

Yes.

The eight of us will stand guard
in each direction.

We should be able to defend
against the Flame Bulls.

But the main issue is their master,
the local deity.

That local deity, Mayonaka,
is quite stubborn.

Mayonaka? So that's
the name of the local deity?

Yes.

Why is Mayonaka attacking this village?

Is there some reason for that?

Wh-Who knows? I have no idea.

Sir, I heard that a local deity
known as Mahiruma

used to live in this land.

So you already know that much?

The divine object that you refer to
as the Blessing of the Five Grains,

may we take a look at it?

Very well.

It's as if the sun were here.

Thanks to this divine object,
all the villages in this area

are able to receive the benefit
of fertile fields and abundant crops.

So this is the Blessing
of the Five Grains.

So this is what Mayonaka is after.

Not just local deities
would want to come after this,

but many demons
and the lords of other regions as well.

Demon slayers, please help us.

We'll pay you a handsome reward.

Uncle...

The leader of the northern demon slayers
accepted this job, so...

Kohaku, let's set up some traps
and slay those Flame Bulls.

Yeah, let's do that.

What would happen

if you handed the Blessing
of the Five Grains over to Mayonaka?

If we did that, how would we get by?

Don't be ridiculous!

I'm sorry, Riku. This is all my fault.

No, it's not.
Riku was injured because of me.

Please stop, you two.

I'm the one who messed up.

However, Kirinmaru won't be able
to pinpoint our location anymore...

so it's sort of a good thing.

But if I had been more careful...

Don't worry about it, Lady Towa.

There are times when being able to see
could make you overlook the truth.

Come back here!

I know you were hired to do this,
but take it easy!

Make sure you dodge this!

Crimson Dragon Wave!

Time to return the favor
from all those years ago!

MAMIANA ISLANDS' OLD RACCOON DOG DEMON -
FULL MOON RACCOON DOG

So you've finally appeared...
Full Moon Raccoon Dog!

With this rouge...

I become Beniyasha, Destroyer of Lands.

Hold on, Moroha!

If you use your rouge now,
you won't wake up for an entire day!

I won't let that happen anymore!

Now bear witness to the power
of the new and improved Beniyasha!

Crimson Backlash Wave!

Huh?

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

The demon slayers
try to protect Gokoku Village

from a local deity named Mayonaka.

But there's a traitor among them!

Moroha, now's not the time to be sleeping!

We need to lend an ear
to uncover the truth shrouded in darkness.

Next time on Yashahime:
Princess Half-Demon:

"Mayonaka the Visitor."

What? You're going to use
the Yukari no Tachikiri?
