- [Anna] Anna.

- [Kento giggles]

- [Anna] Anna!

- [Kento] All right, Anna.

Whoever falls off the rail first loses.

Watch out for the scary ghosts! [laughs]

- Anna! [laughs]

- [Anna] Anna.

It's strange. Anna doesn't have a collar

and yet she doesn't run away.

[Kento laughs]

- It's 'cause we're best friends.

- Anna!

You know what?

I don't think Igisu needs a collar either.

- Do you want your collar taken off?

- Huh? W-Wait!

[Igisu] Igi. Igi.

[Igi exclaims]

- Do you like yours?

- [Igisu] Igi.

Well, if you like it, that's fine.

[sighs with relief]

[Igisu] Igi.

Gi! Igi!

What's flying up there?

[Kaede] Smoke trails?

[engine roars]

[engine sputters]

[groans softly]

[whimpering]

Oh no. Momoka!

Are you okay?

[groans]

It's my legs. [strains]

[gasps]

[Momoka cries]

It's okay.

[Momoka continues crying]

[Kaede] Anyone in there?

Yes! We need help!

[Kaede strains]

Who's there?

[gasps] A daemon!

We need some help.

My daughter is stuck in here.

[Kaede strains]

[Kaede] What happened?

What caused the crash?

[shudders] We ran

into some balloon-type daemons,

but the pilot noticed them too late.

He flew right into them.

[Kaede strains]

Hey, Kento. Can Anna get this?

- I'm not sure. Anna, can you help?

- [Anna] Anna.

[girl] Wha Huh?

She did it!

- [Momoka wails]

- [man grunts]

Whoa! It's like a giant kaiju.

[daemon growls]

[dramatic music crescendos]

Hold on. That spider daemon's a mutant.

[man] I've heard of this one.

O. That's what people around here call it.

[O] Ohhhhhh.

[tense music plays]

[O growls]

[Kaede grunts]

[O growls softly]

[man shudders]

- [rumbling]

- [Momoka screams]

[O] Oooooohhhhhh!

[Momoka and man scream]

[man yells]

[O] Oooooohhhhhh.

- [man screams]

- Dad!

- Igisu!

- No, Dad!

[man screams]

[tense music plays]

- [Momoka] Dad!

- [Kento] It's okay!

Igisu caught him in time.

[Momoka yelps]

[O] Oooohhhh!

[O growls softly]

[footsteps crash]

- [Momoka's dad coughs]

- [Kaede groans]

[both groan]

[shudders]

[gasps] Momoka!

[O roars softly]

[tense music crescendos]

[distant footsteps thud]

[Momoka cries]

[Anna] Anna.

[continues crying]

[Kento] Here, you can have this.

It's an unagi pie.

I got this

in a town we stopped in the other day.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kento. And you are?

I'm Momoka Amamiya. I don't want anything!

Get that ugly daemon

away from me. It's gross!

[Anna squeals]

[Kento] Why would you

say something like that?

Daemons are my enemy. I hate them all!

Oh, if you say so.

But this one's huge!

I've never seen a daemon this big.

Dad told me about it.

O is a special daemon.

It grew up eating other daemons,

and that's why it's so big now.

Spider daemons have a habit

of keeping the things they like.

O destroyed Nagoya City.

But it loved the castle so much

that it made it part of its own body.

[distant footsteps thud]

[tense music plays]

[music fades]

[groaning]

[Momoka's dad] This town is so busy.

I heard these people

used to live in Nagoya.

They fled here when it was destroyed.

[Kaede] O took his daughter.

And he also took my friend.

O did?

[Kaede] We want to recruit members

for a temporary party.

Help us. I can pay whatever they want!

[Momoka's dad sighs]

[groans]

You should really eat something,

or you'll run out of steam.

[Igisu mumbles]

S TIER - DANGEROUS REQUES

URGENT MISSION

RESCUE 2 PEOPLE

[Kaede] That's a lot of reward money.

Do you mind if I ask you what you do?

I'm a doctor.

I was called to perform emergency surgery

in Toyota City.

Of course, I didn't expect this to happen.

[tense music plays]

[O] Oooooohhhh!

[Momoka gasps]

[O] Ooohhhh.

Oooohhhh.

[tense music continues]

[O] Oooohhhh.

Oooohhhh.

Ooohhh.

Oooohhhh.

[Kento] What a huge spiderweb!

I think it's displaying its collection.

[Anna] Na-na.

- [shrieks] No, get it away!

- [Anna yelps]

Anna!

What's wrong with you?

It doesn't have a collar. That's bad!

- No, it's okay. Anna is a good daemon.

- [Anna] Na-na.

Well, I hate every single daemon.

- I'll get rid of all of them someday!

- [gasps]

Why would you ever say something so awful?

It's 'cause

Daemons. They are what k*lled my mother!

Huh?

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Kaede] Can't sleep either?

Yeah.

[Kaede] I received a message

from the Daemon User Association.

A few people applied for the mission

after seeing your reward.

[Momoka's dad] Thank you

for all of your help.

Don't worry. I would have

gone to save Kento anyway.

It's my fault he got involved.

That boy. The mark on his face.

He must have been polluted

by a daemonium particle.

What?

I can tell.

My late wife had a similar discoloration.

[Momoka's dad] Daemonium particles

spread around the world,

and on rare occasions,

they get trapped inside a human body.

When that happens, the surrounding tissues

become polluted and discolored.

In my wife's case, the particle

had coalesced inside her heart.

Eventually, the only solution for her

was an organ transplant.

But the particle started to hatch.

[doctors groan]

[shudders]

[somber music plays]

[Momoka cries]

So Kento will also

He must have a daemonium particle

inside his head.

If it hatches, I fear he won't survive.

[Kaede] Oh no.

[Momoka] Hey. I think you need to wake up!

[Anna] Anna?

- [rumbling]

- [Momoka yelps]

[Kento gasps]

[tense music plays]

[Kento] It looks like a fantasy world.

[Momoka] It's going somewhere.

What are we going to do now?

[Anna] Anna! Na-na.

[Kento] First, we should

cross the spiderwebs,

and get to the skyscraper.

Then make our way to the ground

using the stairs inside.

[Anna] Anna.

Yeah, great idea!

Hold on. Do you understand

what it says to you?

[Anna] Anna.

Oh, well, I guess I do.

You are so weird.

[gasps] We're so high up!

Hey, can I ask you about your mom?

- What about her?

- You said she was k*lled by a daemon?

Yeah. And now all daemons are my enemy!

[Kento] I lost my mom too.

She died.

[gasps]

And?

I'm traveling because

I'm going to bring her back.

Huh?

[Momoka] A dead person can't

come back to life. That's impossible!

It's not.

Otherwise, everything is just bullshit.

[Momoka exhales]

[tense music plays]

This is Mr. Reiji Amamiya,

who put in the request.

Thank you for helping us.

Heh. I happened to have some free time.

The reward's too tempting.

I wanna help. We'll save your daughter.

This trio here, they usually work together

when they accept missions.

Well, let's all head out then.

[man] Will you be driving us?

I want to help you in any way I can.

[man] All right you're in charge.

[engine revs]

[Kento grunts]

[Momoka strains]

[Momoka strains]

[Momoka whimpers]

[Momoka whimpers]

[Momoka whimpers]

- [Kento] Whoa!

- [Momoka whimpers]

- I can't keep going.

- [Kento] Agh!

[Anna] Anna!

- Let's rest over by that couch.

- [Momoka exhales]

[loud rumbling]

Ugh, gross!

Can't you fix this? It's all sticky.

Maybe we can use

her storage ability. Anna?

[Anna] Anna!

Oh, it looks so good!

Can you do it here too?

Mm. Anna!

- And this one?

- [Anna] Anna!

Anna!

[Momoka] This one here too.

[Anna] Anna. Anna!

[Kento] Whoa.

[Momoka laughs]

[sighs contentedly] Huh?

[Momoka whimpers]

Hold on. Are we sinking down?

- Oh no. We're gonna fall!

- [Momoka whimpers]

[O] Ooohhhh.

I really hope your daughter

doesn't lay one finger on O's collection.

What happens if she does?

Spider daemons are possessive.

They get angry

when someone messes with their things.

I mean really angry.

[O groans]

[O] Ooooohhhhhhh. Oooohhh.

Oooohhhhh.

There's no way this is my fault, right?

[O] Oooohhhh.

Oohhh.

[O growls softly]

[crashing]

[O] Ooohh!

[O roars]

There's no way this is my fault!

[Anna] Anna!

[Momoka whimpers]

- [Kento] Whoa!

- [Momoka screams]

[Momoka screams]

Jump now!

[Momoka screams]

We gotta run.

I hate spiders.

And it has such a stupid face!

[O growls]

- [O growls]

- [Kento] Oh no, it heard you!

[O] Oooohhhh.

[tense music plays]

[O roars]

That daemon

- Hiruta, you go first?

- Yup.

[Momoka panting]

[O roars]

[Momoka whimpers]

[Momoka and Kento yell]

[Momoka yells]

[Momoka screams]

[Momoka whimpers]

[both yell]

- [Momoka screams]

- [Anna] Anna!

[Momoka and Kento grunt]

- [Momoka whimpers]

- [O growls]

- [Anna] Anna.

- [Momoka whimpers]

[Kento grunts]

[Momoka whimpers]

[O] Oooooohhhhhh.

[Kento] Are you okay?

- [O] Oohh.

- [Momoka yelps]

[Kento grunts]

I'm stuck!

- [O] Oooohhhh.

- [Anna] Anna!

- [O roars]

- [Anna] Anna!

Anna.

[Kento and Momoka strain]

[Momoka whimpers]

[tense music plays]

[O] Oohh!

- Oohh!

- Another one! Do it!

Rock.

[dramatic music plays]

[daemon] Chuk, chuk,

chuk, chuk, chuk, chuk, chuk.

[Kento and Momoka strain]

[daemon] Chuk.

- What is that thing?

- [Anna] Anna!

[Kaede] Kento. Momoka. Are you okay?

[Kento] Ms. Kaede?

[Kaede] We're gonna draw O's attention.

So get out of there!

[dramatic music continues]

[O roars]
