01x11 - Promise

[bunniefuu]

Welcome back. You have a guest.

I know.

All right, let him in.

Yes, sir.

You've got some nerve coming here.

Where's Yuri Egin?

She's dead.

I cremated her and scattered her ashes.

To make sure you can't toy with her.

How dare you...

Are you hoping that your betrayal will be
forgiven after bringing Satan's kids here?

Of course not.

For all that hard work you made me do
to separate the heart from the body,

there's no way you would k*ll them easily.

So the safest choice is
to have you taking care of them.

I knew all of this was part of your plan.

Isn't that right, King of Time?

Plotting from behind is my specialty.

I don't like it when you realize it.

But I really like it.

This is goodbye.

I have no attachment to the Order, anyway.

I'll get out of here.

You can hunt me down if you want,
I might show my face if I want to.

Wait.

Have you forgotten your promise to me?

If you ever yield to a demon, even once,
you have to do me one favor.

If you ever yield to a demon, even once,
you have to do me one favor.

Whatever. It's a deal.

But I haven't yielded to a demon!

These children are half-demon.

Even half-demons are still dangerous.

And yet, you let them live.

If you aren't yielding to them,
then k*ll them.

Right here and now.

I can't do that.

In that case, Shiro Fujimoto...

I declare it was you who
stopped the Blue Night

by using Koma Sword to exorcise
the Demon God and Satan's kids,

whom the witch,
Yuri Egin summoned into this world.

These hero-like achievements are worthy
of becoming the symbol of the Order.

So, I name you the 251st Paladin.

Making me a hero by scapegoating Yuri?

Don't be ridiculous!

Sure, she was a fool.

k*lled by her dream to coexist
with the demon.

But she did more than us
who didn't do anything!

Indeed, behaving like a mother,
older sister, and lover toward Satan,

was no easy feat.

Still, whatever she felt in her heart and
no matter how much she cried in secret,

in this world, results are everything.

Her actions were no different
from those of witches.

So treasure her good intentions
inside your heart.

The world demands simple measures,

but I don't want to k*ll these babies.

What...

You'll raise them.

Satan or Lucifer, or both,

they will return someday.

When that day arrives,
I will need weapons.

Raise them to be strong weapons.

The heck are you saying?

You ask two instead of one!

This is a breach of contract!

Of course not.

What I'm asking...

is for you to swear lifelong service
to the Order as their dog.

You asked me, a demon, for a favor.

And in that moment, you just
wasted your freedom forever.

You poor thing!

You hate demons, yet made a deal with me,
thereby contradicting yourself!

Yuri Egin failed.

Now, what about you?

What is this? More visitors?

My father, the God of Gehenna.

I understand that you want a body,

but please don't run around
k*lling humans to find one.

Damned Exorcists...

Begone! When I recover my strength,
I will search again.

Then allow this Samael to prepare
a body for you.

How? I know that the Section 13
is going to be closed.

One of the twins you fathered
in Assiah inherited your flame.

I will raise him for you to inhabit.

What?

So bright!

Father...

I will prepare an even better
body for you.

Older Brother?

He's recovered already?

I have many believers.

They will continue Section 13's research.

Someday, we will be able to create
a perfect vessel for you, Father.

Please wait until then.

I will complete it before Samael does.

Nice! Sounds interesting!

I like you, Lucifer,
so I will wait for you.

I'm honored to hear that.

I don't trust the Exorcists.

I'll accept it, only if you get results.

Understood.

Devote every resource in all worlds
to prepare a body for me!

Yes, Father.

This Astaroth understands
the pain of having no body.

I will mobilize the kin of rot.

Interesting! We'll definitely do it.

Father...

What a pain, I'd rather not.

I'll be the ally to the side
that completes it first.

Now, let's see who can do it first.

But be careful.

If you take too long,
I'll act without warning.

In the name of the Grigori
and the former Paladins,

I name you the 251st Paladin.

Never thought that we would
become Arc Knights.

Even though we're short of numbers,
this is something I couldn't imagine.

Like a nightmare.

Isn't that right?

Are you okay, Doctor Dragulescu?
That looks painful.

Yes, it's not as bad as it looks.

I suppose so, after all, everyone else
is dead or still bedridden.

Good job surviving that disaster
in the deep section area.

Did you make your recovery faster
with the Elixir,

or replace yourself with a clone?

That's not possible.

Even if I did, the inside would be empty.

It wouldn't be able to host me.

The research, Elixirs,
and clones are ashes now.

It is over.

I hope you're right.

Paladin! We're from the Order press.
Please look over here!

This is a pain in the a*s.

We once shared a connection.

I'm watching you, Exorcist.

But why?

The Order has closed Section 13
and burned all the records.

Even though I had completed
a replicant, what a shame!

It was dangerous,
but I was able to smuggle it out.

How is it?

It works fine.

The facilities are still insufficient,
so it will take time.

This wouldn't have happened if the remains
were kept sealed in the deep areas.

I'm glad.

I bring good news.

As part of the reconstruction,

there's a proposal to create a science lab

dedicated to researching
demons and exorcism.

I told Shemihaza that
I recommended you for the director.

If we build the lab here,
it would be a great hiding place.

We have many allies.

Many nations, corporations,
and conglomerates

are ready to contribute.

More supporters will gather in time,
until then,

I will protect you.

So don't worry and continue your research.

I'm grateful. I owe you everything.

Not at all.

I'll leave now.

I didn't expect someone like you
to help me.

May I know the reason?

People are attracted to bright light.

Wouldn't you agree?

It doesn't matter to me
whether you're good or evil.

You're the purpose of my life.

I'll create an immortal replicant
that will not deteriorate,

even if the King of Demons
himself possesses it.

In the name of the Illuminati!

So, the heart of Satan's child
is sealed within this sword?

I want you to hide it until
the appropriate time.

You're the right guy for this job.

How long will the sword's seal last?

I don't know.

All I can say right now
is that it will awaken someday

and escape after breaking the seal.

Moreover, if the sword isn't nearby,
his body will rampage to search his heart.

And this is for you, Father.

Wow! This is a Kamikakushi Key.

When you see signs of awakening,
use it to get the sword and come to me.

Until that day, raise him to be
a great, strong, and healthy boy.

Are you okay with this, Tatsuma?

I want to help, so it's fine.

I have to say this, though.

Fujimoto...

You're in a mess. It's cute, though.

Since you're soft, you might like it, eh?

Shut up!

This is like a mission.

No smoking around babies!

Now I'm worried.

I can't leave Kyoto,
but I can give you some advice.

Come to me if you need to.

I don't need any help!

Raising one or two kids is easy!

Watch me, you bearded fools!

Hey! Don't cry!

Don't cry!

Here you go, kids. It's time for milk.

Nice. Very good, Yukio.

Don't suck it so hard!
You will rip off the nipple.

Just when I think you're human,
your demon side comes out.

Is this really good idea to raise him?

Compared to Yukio, his metabolism is fast.

What's with this color? So gross.

Yukio, you're always crying.

I don't know what to do with you.

Finally...

Please sleep well.

Now...

Time to eat.

There's poop on his back!

I can't sleep.

It's been a week.

I spent every day dealing with
diapers and milk.

Mothers must be superhumans.

REGISTRATION OF UNREGISTERED PERSON

I need to pick the family name for them.

Egin or Fujimoto would be too noticeable.

Since this is a top-secret project...

Damn it.

There's no way I can babysit her.

Really?

Oku did say he couldn't
have raised me alone.

Oku? Oh, The former Exorcist
who raised you?

Yeah.

He had help from Niko who was good
at cooking, and Obaba who knew all stuff.

At this rate, Yuri is in danger!

Okumura!

Okumura...

Let's pick it up from your grandfather.

OKUMURA

Shiro, if you rely on someone,
they will come to help you.

He died?

Yes, on the Blue Night.

He was going to save you, Yuri, and Jenny,

but he never came back.

Mom! Jun's crying!

Excuse me, then.

I'm glad you're safe.

Rick...

It's your fault.

Please!

Lately, I'm so tired,
and old wounds are festering.

Other than that, I'm also in some trouble.

Misumi, you're the only one I can ask
since I'm a former experimental subject.

I became the head of a monastery
that lost its members in the Blue Night.

In addition, I have to look after
these kids, so I can't do it alone.

Please help me.

But those are...

Aren't those children...

So cute, though.

Where's the guy with the glasses?

He's late.

Kurobe's dead.

He died when you defied the Orders.

We followed you because we admired you.

But that day was really bad.

It was the worst.

I'm sorry.

I can't bother you anymore.
Sorry for troubling you.

No, we'll help you.

We talked and decided that
we would help if you ever asked.

Many of the injured Exorcists

and a lot of other people
still look up to you.

We need a leader.

Raise your head.

I'm glad you asked.

Shiro, if you rely on someone,
they will come to help you.
