1. Oh man, Nico.
It's been such a long time, Nico.
Copy !req
2. I haven't seen you ever since
my training got busy,
Copy !req
3. so it must've been three years.
Copy !req
4. Hey.
Copy !req
5. Oh man, I'm so glad I can
have lunch with you like this again.
Copy !req
6. Hey.
Copy !req
7. Why won't he look at me?
Copy !req
8. So where did we leave off?
Copy !req
9. Your tengu family protects
the mountain where I did my training,
Copy !req
10. and my mom and your dad are friends.
Copy !req
11. That's right!
Copy !req
12. And since we were both in training,
we got along really well.
Copy !req
13. We became fast friends.
Copy !req
14. Oh man, when we were kids, we sure
played a lot together every day.
Copy !req
15. I remember when Nico
jumped into the river,
Copy !req
16. her swimsuit came right off,
and I had to go look for it.
Copy !req
17. Ugh, please don't talk
about embarrassing things.
Copy !req
18. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
19. And?
Copy !req
20. You still haven't talked about
the important thing.
Copy !req
21. Geez, you don't have to be so demanding.
Copy !req
22. You're like an interrogator or something.
Copy !req
23. I'm telling you, Nico's ma
asked me to be her bodyguard.
Copy !req
24. Just like you.
Copy !req
25. Happy now?
Copy !req
26. Anyway, can I get another round
of hamburg steak?
Copy !req
27. All right, order up.
Copy !req
28. Ow, ouch, hot! Burning hot!
Copy !req
29. Are you some kind of psychopath?
Copy !req
30. Oh, sorry. Your forehead was so big,
I thought it was a plate.
Copy !req
31. How can you say such a thing
with those cold eyes!
Copy !req
32. Just talk already.
Copy !req
33. If you're also a bodyguard for Nico,
then why have you been hiding?
Copy !req
34. I don't talk to ogres.
Copy !req
35. All right, I understand.
Copy !req
36. If you won't talk,
then I'll get you to talk.
Copy !req
37. Huh, what now?
Copy !req
38. Nico, use whatever spell you can.
Make him talk.
Copy !req
39. Now you look really scary!
Copy !req
40. Geez, Moi.
Copy !req
41. Ani-matey!
Copy !req
42. Well, as they say, ogres an' tengu
were always like oil and water.
Copy !req
43. You're gonna make my umbrella talk?
Copy !req
44. It's a spell that gives sentience
to inanimate objects.
Copy !req
45. But in current times, I think
that relationship has settled down.
Copy !req
46. Back in the day,
Copy !req
47. they bickered something worse
than my great aunt and uncle.
Copy !req
48. So why is it talking like Tora-san?
Copy !req
49. Maybe it's because you set it by the TV
when you were watching Tora-san films?
Copy !req
50. Is it a parrot?
Copy !req
51. Were tengu and ogres rivals?
Copy !req
52. Is that why you're so hostile towards me?
Copy !req
53. That's bothersome.
Copy !req
54. Also, this is the first I'm hearing this.
Copy !req
55. I might've heard about tengu from my dad,
so to me, they're just not that big a...
Copy !req
56. That's it right there!
Copy !req
57. That "who cares about tengu"
attitude drives me nuts!
Copy !req
58. See, that face! Those black eyes!
Copy !req
59. They just scream indifference!
Copy !req
60. Oh, no. Can you please stop that already?
Copy !req
61. Stop it with those eyes! Please!
Copy !req
62. Or else I'm gonna cry!
Those eyes are just too cold!
Copy !req
63. What the hell is wrong with you?
Copy !req
64. Why can't you notice tengu more?
Copy !req
65. It's always the tengu
worrying about the ogres!
Copy !req
66. Ogres don't even give
the time of day to tengu!
Copy !req
67. Love and hate are a thin line, huh?
Copy !req
68. My great tengu pa said so himself.
"Never lose to an ogre.
Copy !req
69. It ticks me off how
it's always ogres in the folktales.
Copy !req
70. Only ogres become famous.
Copy !req
71. Why is it called Demon Slayer
and not Tengu Slayer?"
Copy !req
72. The flames of jealousy!
Copy !req
73. He says seeing demons
get cut up is the best,
Copy !req
74. so he stays up late reading the manga.
Copy !req
75. Maybe he just got really into it?
Copy !req
76. His favorite character
is naturally Hantengu.
Copy !req
77. But Hantengu is also a demon?
Copy !req
78. The sake he drinks
is called "Ogre-Killer."
Copy !req
79. Such detailed hatred!
Copy !req
80. I've heard enough about your dad!
Copy !req
81. You're just talking about a guy
who enjoys reading Demon Slayer.
Copy !req
82. So tell me why you
were staying hidden all this time.
Copy !req
83. I wanted to do a grand deed
and take on this mission!
Copy !req
84. What if I protected Nico all by myself,
and without the ogre?
Copy !req
85. All the glory would be mine!
The tengu's renown would explode!
Copy !req
86. All the ogres would be bowing their heads!
Copy !req
87. Behold, Nico. Here's an example
of a greater tengu's teachings gone wrong.
Copy !req
88. So that's why you were
on high alert on that rainy day.
Copy !req
89. Kan, you've been protecting me too,
ever since I started school?
Copy !req
90. Thank you for becoming my bodyguard.
Copy !req
91. It's fine.
Copy !req
92. I'm from a family of familiars after all.
Copy !req
93. I've been looking for ways
to use these powers,
Copy !req
94. so if destiny calls, I want to answer.
Copy !req
95. Oh, Kan.
Copy !req
96. Now, don't let him pull
the wool over your faces.
Copy !req
97. He might be saying swell things,
but the real reason he's doing this is,
Copy !req
98. Ms. Ibuki is bearing
his debts so he owes her big time.
Copy !req
99. What the hell are you saying?
Copy !req
100. You big dummy!
Copy !req
101. Then there're the charges
from playing mobile games.
Copy !req
102. And I pay for my junior's meals.
If I have money, it's gone immediately.
Copy !req
103. You're just a crummy person, aren't you?
Copy !req
104. I borrowed money from everyone I knew,
and then it really went over my head.
Copy !req
105. Right when I was thinking
I should probably skip town,
Copy !req
106. that's when Nico's ma stepped in.
Copy !req
107. She's a really great person.
Such a kind soul.
Copy !req
108. This isn't how a 15-year-old should be.
Copy !req
109. U-Um,
Copy !req
110. I'm gonna go make some more tea.
Copy !req
111. Yes, more tea.
Copy !req
112. - Hey, Ogre.
- What?
Copy !req
113. I'll tell you this now
since Nico's not here.
Copy !req
114. There's a prophecy
that you should know about.
Copy !req
115. "An enemy within the school"?
Copy !req
116. So the disaster isn't
some kind of accident or sickness.
Copy !req
117. Someone out there is after Nico.
Copy !req
118. Yeah. At school, too.
Copy !req
119. I've been on the lookout for anything
fishy on campus since school started.
Copy !req
120. We have to keep this a secret from Nico.
Copy !req
121. If she gets anxious,
it'll pull her to the darkness.
Copy !req
122. These are orders from Ms. Ibuki.
Copy !req
123. Nico has an enemy?
Copy !req
124. Okay, here it is.
Copy !req
125. Wow, thank you.
Copy !req
126. Nico, you sure are thoughtful
unlike a certain someone.
Copy !req
127. Nico, how can you live
with this sour-faced ogre?
Copy !req
128. The food will get sour, too.
Copy !req
129. Who's food are you calling sour?
Copy !req
130. If you're done here, then go home!
Copy !req
131. You've made yourself way too
comfortable here. Have you no shame?
Copy !req
132. Well, it's my first time meeting you,
but Nico and I are childhood friends.
Copy !req
133. Well, this is my house, so...
Copy !req
134. I'm saying that since we're both guards,
we should talk about things.
Copy !req
135. One guard is enough!
Copy !req
136. But I'm stronger than you!
Copy !req
137. Oh yeah, you wanna take this outside then?
Copy !req
138. I'll dunk your face in hot water,
and spin it around real fast.
Copy !req
139. Then maybe you'll grow back
that dumb nose!
Copy !req
140. How could you say such a thing?
Copy !req
141. O-Ogres and tengu not getting along
is something from the past, right?
Copy !req
142. That doesn't mean
you two have to follow that.
Copy !req
143. He's the one who keeps pestering me.
Copy !req
144. In regards to the tengu people,
I have no opinions.
Copy !req
145. I don't feel anything for them.
Copy !req
146. I don't even hate them.
There's nothing there.
Copy !req
147. I hate ogres so much!
Copy !req
148. Geez, the house is gonna break down.
Copy !req
149. Why do you guys turn into
a parent-child relationship?
Copy !req
150. Friendeal.
Copy !req
151. Let's give an explanation.
Copy !req
152. Friendeal is a spell you cast on food,
and when two people consume that food,
Copy !req
153. a friendship will begin
to blossom between them.
Copy !req
154. However, this spell works in a way
that whoever eats the food first
Copy !req
155. feels a one-way friendship towards
the person who ate the food next.
Copy !req
156. There we go.
Copy !req
157. So I have to get Moi to eat this first,
and then get Kan next.
Copy !req
158. "You're actually a nice guy."
"No, you." And problem solved.
Copy !req
159. Hey, Kan!
Copy !req
160. What's up, Nico?
Copy !req
161. I was just here being super pouty
in the middle of the hallway.
Copy !req
162. Oh, come on now. It's time for dessert.
Copy !req
163. Let's all eat together, okay?
Copy !req
164. Here you go.
Copy !req
165. Just one box of Blitz?
Copy !req
166. Isn't dessert supposed
to be more like fruits, or...
Copy !req
167. Just eat it already.
Copy !req
168. Well, thanks for the—
Copy !req
169. Wait! Moi needs to eat it first.
Copy !req
170. Why?
Copy !req
171. Just please listen to me, okay?
Copy !req
172. I don't really get it, but...
Copy !req
173. Here.
Copy !req
174. I'm not eating any.
Copy !req
175. What? It's dessert, right?
Copy !req
176. I can't interfere between you two.
Copy !req
177. What now?
Copy !req
178. It's fine, just hand that box to Kan.
Copy !req
179. There sure are a lot of steps.
Copy !req
180. Here.
Copy !req
181. Kanshi.
Copy !req
182. You're actually a nice guy.
Copy !req
183. What now?
Copy !req
184. Are you trying to pick a fight?
Copy !req
185. I'm not.
I'm just feeling something towards you.
Copy !req
186. I can't really put it to words.
Copy !req
187. But I have this burning desire.
Copy !req
188. Dude, are you okay?
Copy !req
189. I just wanna get close to you.
Copy !req
190. What? Why're you getting in my space?
Copy !req
191. - Come on, hurry up.
- Hey!
Copy !req
192. This isn't what I was expecting.
Copy !req
193. Hey, let me put
my arm around your shoulders.
Copy !req
194. No way!
Copy !req
195. Let's join shoulders
and sing the school anthem.
Copy !req
196. What the hell, man? Have you gone nuts?
Copy !req
197. Give me your shoulders already.
Copy !req
198. Why are you so focused on my shoulders?
Copy !req
199. Your shoulders! My arms!
Copy !req
200. Morihito has gone insane!
Nico, do something!
Copy !req
201. Less talking, more shoulders!
Copy !req
202. Honestly, I would like to see you two
put arms around each others' shoulders.
Copy !req
203. You too? What's gotten into everyone?
Copy !req
204. I need to get away!
Copy !req
205. What's wrong, you two?
Copy !req
206. The balloon...
Copy !req
207. Got stuck in a tree, huh?
Copy !req
208. Here you go.
Copy !req
209. Thank you so much, Mr. Blondman.
Copy !req
210. Thank you!
Copy !req
211. All right, I was in the middle
of something, so...
Copy !req
212. Mister, you forgot your Blitz!
Copy !req
213. Oh, it's fine, you guys can have it.
Copy !req
214. Thanks again!
Copy !req
215. Yay!
Copy !req
216. Chataro, for you, too.
Copy !req
217. Kanshi, give me your shoulders now!
Copy !req
218. I wanna put my arm around shoulders.
Copy !req
219. Arm.
Copy !req
220. Shoulders.
Copy !req
221. Geez, where did everyone go?
Copy !req
222. What the heck is happening?
Copy !req
223. It's the Nankin Tamasudare stick trick!
Copy !req
224. Our shoulders were connected
and we formed a beautiful arc!
Copy !req
225. I didn't think you wanted
to join shoulders that much.
Copy !req
226. Think about the dog's feelings
who was at the end of the arc.
Copy !req
227. Stop talking about it already.
Copy !req
228. The conversation is getting too wild
and it's hurting my head.
Copy !req
229. I just wanted you two to get along.
Copy !req
230. Maybe that's the mailman. I'll get it!
Copy !req
231. Moi.
Copy !req
232. AN ENEMY WITHIN THE SCHOOL
Copy !req
233. An enemy?
Copy !req
234. Nico, what's wrong?
Copy !req
235. There was a package from my mom
filled with old witch clothes.
Copy !req
236. I wanted to show you,
so I went and changed.
Copy !req
237. But the fabric suddenly got stiff.
Copy !req
238. The clothes?
Copy !req
239. Oh gross, it grew eyes!
Copy !req
240. Daughter of a witch... I've captured you!
Copy !req
241. Sentience to an inanimate object?
Copy !req
242. Is this magic? The enemy can use magic?
Copy !req
243. Let Nico go!
Copy !req
244. Ouch!
Copy !req
245. Not only can I freely move this fabric,
Copy !req
246. but I can also control
the stiffness of it.
Copy !req
247. And because I've got her arms locked,
she can't cast any spells.
Copy !req
248. I have taken complete control of her!
Copy !req
249. Why'd you have to grow eyes
in that weird spot?
Copy !req
250. Don't make it sway like that!
Copy !req
251. - Nico!
- I'm taking the witch girl with me.
Copy !req
252. Farewell!
Copy !req
253. No, you don't!
Copy !req
254. Moi!
Copy !req
255. Nico! Damn it!
Copy !req
256. Wait, Morihito. Calm down.
Copy !req
257. Don't tell me to calm down!
Copy !req
258. How're you gonna go after her?
Copy !req
259. If you just aimlessly chase after someone
who went flying off, you'll get nowhere.
Copy !req
260. Just leave it to me.
Copy !req
261. Bird-Blackened Sky.
Copy !req
262. All the crows in the area are my friends,
and they'll give us information.
Copy !req
263. Make sure to thank them later, okay?
Copy !req
264. Hey! Did you guys see a girl flying off?
Copy !req
265. Looks like he'll show us the way. Come on.
Copy !req
266. Hey! Let me go! You dumb angry-eyes!
Copy !req
267. Just you wait, when Moi
gets to you, he'll beat you to a pulp!
Copy !req
268. Impossible.
Copy !req
269. And how do you say
he's going to get to us, huh?
Copy !req
270. He'll definitely come save me.
Copy !req
271. No matter where I am...
Copy !req
272. Nico!
Copy !req
273. Moi!
Copy !req
274. Why are you on top of a tree?
Copy !req
275. Um, so, my kite got stuck.
Copy !req
276. I wanted to get it,
so I used my wand to fly up here.
Copy !req
277. But then I dropped it.
Copy !req
278. All right, I get it.
Copy !req
279. Let's go home.
Copy !req
280. Moi.
Copy !req
281. Thank you.
Copy !req
282. You're welcome, as always.
Copy !req
283. There they are!
Copy !req
284. Nico!
Copy !req
285. Moi!
Copy !req
286. I see.
Copy !req
287. Damn it.
Copy !req
288. There isn't anything around
that we can climb onto.
Copy !req
289. I'm using the girl's magic power to fly.
Copy !req
290. Useless familiars shall gawk
at us from the ground.
Copy !req
291. You're a tengu, aren't you? Can't you fly?
Copy !req
292. It's the same as your ogre horn.
Copy !req
293. Tengu lost their wings
after many generations,
Copy !req
294. and we can't fly anymore.
Copy !req
295. You there, Tengu.
Copy !req
296. Well isn't that rude of you
to leave me behind like that.
Copy !req
297. Is that you, umbrella?
Copy !req
298. Come on now, you don't have to be
so taciturn. Just call me Brelly.
Copy !req
299. This isn't the time for that!
Copy !req
300. - Huh?
- Nico's in danger!
Copy !req
301. - What now?
- Up there, in the sky!
Copy !req
302. Huh? What is it?
Copy !req
303. Let's work together.
Copy !req
304. The wind is getting stronger.
Let us move out.
Copy !req
305. Thank you, Moi.
Copy !req
306. You're welcome, as always.
Copy !req
307. What?
Copy !req
308. Rising Earth, Flowing Sky!
Copy !req
309. I feel it in my bones!
Copy !req
310. We owe you one, Brelly.
Copy !req
311. You flew using something like that?
Copy !req
312. You're one to talk.
Copy !req
313. It's useless.
Copy !req
314. I've almost become as hard as armor!
Now you can't do anything!
Copy !req
315. I was hoping you'd do that.
Copy !req
316. No mercy, huh?
Copy !req
317. Kanshi, one more time!
Copy !req
318. I know!
Copy !req
319. Are you two okay?
Copy !req
320. I'm good!
Copy !req
321. Did you purposely send
only rough winds my way?
Copy !req
322. Just your imagination.
Copy !req
323. If I didn't know
ogre falling techniques, I'd be dead!
Copy !req
324. It's completely reverted back to fabric.
Copy !req
325. What did that magic user want to achieve?
Copy !req
326. Moi, Kan.
Copy !req
327. Thank you for saving me.
Copy !req
328. I was really scared
this time around. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
329. This wasn't your fault, Nico.
Copy !req
330. But we have to be careful
from now on, huh?
Copy !req
331. From now on?
Copy !req
332. This enemy wasn't the disaster?
Copy !req
333. The glyph I received
from Ms. Ibuki didn't disappear.
Copy !req
334. Plus it had nothing to do
with the dog and rain prophecy.
Copy !req
335. Hey.
Copy !req
336. Does this mean that something
like this will keep happening?
Copy !req
337. Don't worry, you have us.
You can just keep being yourself.
Copy !req
338. Okay.
Copy !req
339. All right.
Copy !req
340. I'm gonna move in with you guys.
Copy !req
341. You will?
Copy !req
342. I'll stop being stubborn about it.
Copy !req
343. Besides, that was the original plan
between our parents.
Copy !req
344. So from here on,
we familiars have to work together.
Copy !req
345. That's really reassuring
to hear, right, Moi?
Copy !req
346. The original plan
was for you to live with us?
Copy !req
347. Where are you living now?
Copy !req
348. What?
Copy !req
349. So up until now, he's been dwelling
in something called a monthly apartment.
Copy !req
350. His head got into the clouds
when he started living alone,
Copy !req
351. so whatever allowance he received,
Copy !req
352. has been blown away
on drinking, playing, and buying.
Copy !req
353. Even if you hung him upside down,
he won't drop any lint.
Copy !req
354. You're spilling all the beans here!
Copy !req
355. I knew it! You're just dry on cash
so you're about to leech onto us!
Copy !req
356. I will seriously destroy this umbrella!
Copy !req
357. You think you got what it takes?
Then come at me!
Copy !req
358. Hey! Stop passing me the buck
and then ignoring me!
Copy !req
359. Can we please try to get along?
Copy !req
360. I understand how you feel, Nico.
Copy !req
361. But the discord among our families
is deep-rooted within me.
Copy !req
362. That's how you were raised, right?
Copy !req
363. To get rid of it completely
would take some time.
Copy !req
364. But I personally think this
is a problem that should go away.
Copy !req
365. Kan.
Copy !req
366. Like I said,
I don't have any discord within me.
Copy !req
367. Then I'd like you
to be more interested in Kan.
Copy !req
368. Interested?
Copy !req
369. Moi, you take things seriously,
are reliable, studious, and can even cook.
Copy !req
370. You do everything perfectly.
Copy !req
371. Since you can do everything on your own,
Copy !req
372. you don't really rely on
or have any interest in other people.
Copy !req
373. I think Moi needs someone like Kan.
Copy !req
374. Huh? What do you mean?
Copy !req
