01x06 - If It Weren't for Me

[bunniefuu]

We'll abandon this castle!

Let's retreat!

What about the research and Elixirs?

I'm going to die soon anyway.

I'll go somewhere I like
with the woman I love.

But...

Lord Satan fell head over heels
for a woman. I'm jealous.

Abandon the castle?
But what will we do?

I'm sorry for you.

But I changed my mind.

Even if I disappear, the Section will
continue their research and hide it.

Farewell.

Father.

Why are you giving up on

the body that you finally got?

Why?

Because I've found something
more important than a body.

I hope that you all also find
something important to you.

Let's go.

Something important to me?

Brother, that woman has led Father astray.

If I k*ll her...

Stop it.

Don't underestimate Father's power.

Just obey him.

The demons are leaving?

Yuri, stay with me until I die.

Yes.

I have to get some clothes
and cut your hair.

You smell nice.

Do I put you at ease?

What? Do I stink?

You smell different.

Excuse me, where can I get
men's clothes and everyday items?

Yuri?!

Jenny! What are you doing here?

That's what I want to ask you.

You've experienced an awful time, I see.

I really wanted to talk to you
for a long time.

This place is hell.

I'm tasked with taking care of these kids,
but 90 percent of them don't live long.

Even if they do,
they will have mental problems.

I can't bear it.

I want to free them at least.

It might be a bad idea,

but I can't just do nothing
and regret it later.

Don't you feel the same?

I feel chilly.

Let's go!

This is the only route
that seems to lead outside.

Since only I can use the key.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

The leak was right.
They almost got away.

Why... Why did you sh**t her?

I just want you to warn her.

She tried to free the clones
and reveal the Section to the public.

Satan was also led astray by that woman
and almost escaped.

If she had, we would be unable to
continue our research.

Please let us go!

We'll go to a place far from
human society and live quietly.

Please!

Shiro!

Please let us go!

Yuri!

This is our chance!
Everyone, focus on Satan!

Fire!

Damn it!

How dare you attack the Great Satan?

Here and now, I'm gonna k*ll...

Now! Capture him!

Stop!

Yuri, come with me!

But I promised to stay with him!

Satan!

The demon horde retreated from Asylum.

And the Japan Branch's special units
rescued the hostages.

Later, we discovered the decayed body
of Satan deep beneath the Asylum.

That's all.

You think that explanation satisfies us?!

He's right!

In the first place, you said that
Satan had taken a body

and was leading an army of demons,
destroying the advanced barrier to attack.

We believed you,
so we sent reinforcements.

But was Satan ever even there?

It's unclear why Satan attacked
the Japan Branch and Asylum either.

One hundred and fourteen
Exorcists died, you know?

I demand an investigation!

The KRC Laboratory at the Romania Branch
is currently examining Satan's vessel.

I'm about to tell you the reason
he occupied the Japan Branch.

There's a high chance that Lower Exorcist
Second Class Exorcist, Yuri Egin,

might have invited him.

Yuri Egin, you say?

Who's that?

She's not known as an Exorcist,
but she's famous within Tamers.

She was seen crying and screaming

when we tried to separate her
from Satan's decayed body.

There are many people who witnessed that.

And there's an undeniable proof.

Yuri Egin is pregnant.

What?!

She is currently in her fourth
to fifth week,

so much remains unclear,
but we confirmed it.

She's currently in an inviolable state
known as Cradle Barrier.

A special power that manifested when
a woman carried a demon child.

It means anyone trying to harm
the mother will be cursed.

So we must determine how to handle
this witch and her demon child.

This is weird.

We've only met Yuri Egin once,
but she didn't look that stupid.

I agree, but something else
is bothering me.

Would a demon that had taken
physical form really remain silent?

I doubt he would give up this easily.

Yuri.

How do you feel?

How is Satan?

He's still alive.
Officially he's dead though.

His body began to deteriorate in earnest.

It damaged his brain,
and made him unable to move.

Rather than that, the Order is
putting all the blame on you.

What will happen to the child
inside my belly?

Worry about yourself first!

After birth and cutting the cord,
the Cradle Barrier fades.

And they'll exorcise it.

Don't tell me, you're planning to
keep the child alive, are you?

It's Satan's child!

I'm sorry, Shiro.

There's a high possibility that the baby,
like Satan, will inherit the blue flame.

So we'll call this operation:

"Blue Lightning."

I'm currently gathering weapons

that are strong against flame,
like the Paladin's sword, Tizona.

But have you heard of the Koma Sword?

A demon sword, and also an object of
worship at the Myo-o Dharani Sect.

It's also known as Kurikara.

The inside is empty at the moment,

but it has held many flame demons
in the past,

so it has a great affinity for flame.

Would you like to...

I'll go!

Put me on that ridiculous operation!

Shiro!

There's a rumor about Yuri being a witch.

This is strange!

Jenny disappeared without a word.
And Yuri...

I'm sure you know something.

What the heck...

What's the Order hiding?

Wait!

Shiro!

I'll use this to k*ll a child.

No, you won't do it.

I can tell.

The Impure King's right eye
has grown strong.

Despite it being the end of April,

yet snow still falls.

Not long ago, an itinerant monk
who visited this temple

said something disturbing was
happening in the Eastern Branch.

That's why you're here, isn't it?

To save something.

You're really a hopelessly
soft-hearted man.

Someone's coming!

Run!

He thinks I won't be able to k*ll?

Come to think of it...

Yuri Egin got pregnant.

I'm going to k*ll that child!

It's twins...

What? Why didn't we notice it before?

They're monoamniotic
but in a state of hypoplasia.

The larger one is sucking up
the invisible power.

The mother is rapidly weakening,
and she may not survive to give birth.

No.

It's all right.

Don't worry.

You've done a great job,

witnessing these without running away
or throwing fits of rage.

I don't know how you feel, but I guess,
this has been hard for you.

What a scary face you make.

The real show is about to start now.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Eighteen hours into labor.

The mother's stamina is at its limit.

I can't inject her
because of the Cradle Barrier.

She'll die before she can give birth.

Frankly, I'd prefer it that way.

Since the barrier will disappear.

Father Fujimoto, let us accompany you.

Do you want to get yourselves k*lled?

This is an operation where
casualties are bound to occur.

There aren't many volunteers either.

Then even more so.

I'm a deacon, so I can help
with powerful rituals.

We will protect you.

Why are you so eager?

I took a lifelong vow
to True Cross Church,

so I should serve a priest like you.

I want to get stronger
while learning under you.

Do as you please.

Since we are short on people,
they probably won't reject you either.

Yes, sir!

Her water broke!
The cervix is opening!

She's four weeks late, and it's been
a whole day since she went into labor.

I'm tired of waiting.

The mother is weak, we don't know
if Child H will be born.

But beware of Child M.

Anything could happen.

Be prepared!

Commence Operation Blue Lightning!

Yuri.

The Cradle Barrier is more
active than ever.

It's telling us to stay back, huh?

But we won't.

Deploying Exorcism Music Ritual!

Listen to me!

We can't perform medical action
because of the curse.

You have to do this on your own.

After you give birth, we'll cut
the umbilical cord and shelter you.

The children will be exorcised by them.

Do you understand?

Hold on tight and push!

No!

Yuri.

Don't scream! Push!

I'm going...

Open your eyes!

...to save you.

Good! You're doing good!

Keep it up!

One more time!

The Cradle Barrier is gone.

Child M is indeed Satan's child.

-Roxley.
-Yes, sir!

Damn it!

Fall back! Fall back!

This is bad!

The mother's in danger.

She might not deliver the other.

Can we give her a cesarean section?

Please stop...

I was afraid of this.

I was afraid of the truth.

I was terrified of it.

I didn't want to waver.

I wanted to face it, but...

I knew it.

I never should have been born.

Actually...

I always...

...knew it.

If I had never existed...

If I...

...didn't exist...

It would be better if I'd never been born.

Do you finally understand?

So just die.

Die and disappear!

-Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
-Shut up!

Finally, my time has come!

How troublesome.

You're able to pry open the
other-dimensional space I created.

As expected of the heart
of Satan's b*stard child.

However, since what you have only vaguely
feared until now has shown before you,

does it feel as if a fog has cleared?

Good grief.

There's no one who can take care of you
in the middle of all this chaos, you know?

Go to a place where you can
cool your head.

Mother... Pops...

Yukio...
