Oh, you're still here?
Yeah.
Keita said he hasn't taken all of the things he wanted.
Oh, if it's about the reward, I'll transfer the money from the bank once the sun rises.
So please do not worry about it.
Oh, I don't think that's what he meant.
But Sebas-chan, what are you doing?
I'm training.
This is my daily routine.
It's impossible...
Huh?
It's impossible for you to defeat him.
Are you still going to fight?
I don't want to be a coward anymore...
Twenty years ago, the Shindou family hired me, a wrestler, along with other martial artists,
in order to protect the previous head of the family, Kei-sama's mother.
However, we were no match for him.
Not only that, he poured so much fear into my head that I couldn't fight at all.
And then...
Are you here to protect this girl?
If so, I will kill you.
If not, I'll let you go.
What's your answer?
I'm...
I'm...!
I betrayed her!
Without any will or pride, I begged him, "Please spare me."
And yet...
She smiled and forgave this coward!
By saying, "It's okay."
Ever since then, I couldn't forgive myself!
I was mortified...
I promised to protect her daughter as well, and yet I failed miserably!
All I needed to do was protect a single girl, and I couldn't even do that!
I'm...! I'm...!
Your master must be important to you as well.
But you know...
Probably...
Keita-sama...
You referred this job to me, right?
I am truly sorry.
I should have looked into this matter with more care.
But even so, this is awful.
His spiritual power surpasses the shinigami that I and Souke defeated in the past.
He sure is a monster.
Although he's an idiot.
Then...
But you know...
I don't know why, but I don't feel like I'll lose to him again.
Hake, I'm really pissed off right now.
Perhaps...
Huh?
Perhaps I just wanted to see that side of you all this time.
What?
What do you mean by that?
No... I simply wanted to ask you to give me an order, Keita-sama.
All right, let's go defeat that shinigami!
All right, there won't be a problem with this.
Thank you, Sebastian.
Since you asked for a place that's completely isolated from the ground,
I went through quite a lot of trouble to prepare this.
Hey! What's the meaning of this?!
What are you planning on doing?!
Can't you tell from the looks of it?
That shinigami, "Sea of Violence," fights the opponent with their best fighting style, right?
That's why I'm going to fight him with these.
"Fight"?
Do you have any experience in boxing?
Nope, none at all.
What?!
No need to worry.
Just leave it all to Keita and me.
That's how it is.
Oh, that's right.
Here you go.
You forgot this.
Don't you feel sorry for it, leaving it behind?
Stop joking around!
You know who the opponent is, don't you?!
You were completely beaten by him yesterday...
You'll die this time for sure!
I won't die.
Because the one who'll die today is that shinigami.
You guys are stupid...
You guys are really stupid, aren't you?!
You guys are all out of your minds!
I don't care anymore.
I want to die already!
Miss...
You don't understand, do you?
You don't understand how painful it is to live, do you?!
Miss!
Just let me die!
I don't care anymore if I die!
I want to die!
Miss!
What? You too?
Miss, 20 years ago, your mother fought valiantly against that atrocious shinigami until the very end.
She had no knowledge of martial arts, and yet she bore a weapon.
And her husband, who was just an ordinary youth, fought to protect her.
And then...
So please...
As her daughter, don't ever speak so pitifully!
But... But it was useless, wasn't it?
My mother was killed even though she resisted!
She wasn't able to win, right?
Falling in love with my father and giving birth to me,
it was all a waste to begin with!
It wasn't a waste.
It wasn't a waste at all.
Your mother probably knew it.
That even if her life was hopeless, one day someone would defeat that shinigami!
Why?
Why are you doing all this for me?
You want to live, don't you?
That's what I heard in your song.
That you want to continue to live.
Happy birthday, Kei.
He's here!
Kei, Sebastian, get out of here now!
I have Hake and the others waiting for you on the coast.
They'll take care of the rest for you.
Miss, let's go.
I'm going to stay here.
Miss!
Kawahira-kun's going to be fighting for me.
There's no way I can just run away by myself!
Do whatever you want.
It's the promised day, Shindou Kei.
I have come to take your soul.
Hah. Don't go rushing things.
Oh, it's the Inukami Tsukai-san.
Do you know why I went out of my way to distinguish the day of my appearance
and even play an entrance song?
Who knows?
Maybe to advertise your stupidity to the public?
You are wrong.
I'm giving them time to run away if they wish to.
So that I can also enjoy cornering a prey that is trying to escape and then inflict pain on it.
I admire your courage for not running away.
Because I promised her that I would beat the crap out of you.
Keita, I'll help too!
I won't lose against him this time for sure!
Yeah.
But Youko, there's been a change of plans.
Huh?
Keita?
I'll be fighting him by myself.
Keita?
Note: "Haja Kekkai - Ishiki: Kogetsubaku" means "Obliterating Evil Barrier - First Spell: Crescent Moon Bind."
Haja Kekkai - Ishiki: Kogetsubaku.
There's two interesting characteristics to this spell.
Note: "Haja Kekkai - Ishiki: Kogetsubaku" means "Obliterating Evil Barrier - First Spell: Crescent Moon Bind."
First, it's impossible for anyone besides the caster to enter or exit this barrier.
Second, this barrier won't break as long as the caster lives.
I see.
Preventing me from getting close to Kei, huh?
Nope.
It's so you won't run out of here.
You make me laugh.
You really do make me laugh.
Well then, I'll fight you with your fighting style... with boxing.
Hey, don't get me wrong.
I'm an inukami tsukai.
Inukami Tsukai Style?
I don't understand you very well,
but for now, I'll fight you with a boxing style.
Keita, why?!
It's reckless to fight him alone!
Let me fight too!
Keita!
Watch carefully.
This is how...
...you throw a punch!
Keita!
You've done enough!
Please get out of there now!
It's impossible to beat him by yourself!
No... I'm not leaving here...
Keita!
If you want, I'll fight both of you at the same time.
D-Dogs!
You see, Youko?
You can't fight even if you wanted to, because of that spell casted on you yesterday...
Do not worry, Inukami Youko.
I'll treat you well afterwards.
I'll drag around your trembling body, tear it up, tease it, and then trample over it.
You bastard. Why the hell do you do these kinds of things?
Because it's fun.
Bury the relatives one after another and eradicate the lineage in order.
There isn't a game more enjoyable than this.
Well, let's say you do destroy the Shindou family, what are you going to do afterwards?
That's simple.
I will just possess another lineage.
Not to mention, you humans are easily attracted by fortune and honor.
And they will bind a contract with me, and then realize afterwards...
That in exchange for money, their future is foreclosed.
The very deep despair that's born from it...
Ah... That is what you call a pleasant feeling!
I see.
I'm glad that you're a completely hopeless piece of shit!
Kawahira-kun!
Keita!
Damn it!
Throwing a punch is pointless if it doesn't connect, you know.
Just like this!
How is it, Shindou Kei?
The guy who's supposedly protecting you is just a piece of trash.
Kawahira-kun said he would beat the crap out of you.
I have faith in Kawahira-kun!
How foolish.
And what can he do?
Not a single punch has hit me.
He's just receiving punches like a sandbag!
How powerless of the Inukami Tsukai-san.
Stop!
Stop already!
Please stop!
Cry! Scream!
Kawahira-kun!
Now die with this, Inukami Tsukai-san!
Keita!
I call in the name of the wise ruler of Hakusan...
Frog...
...crush our enemy!
How dirty of you to plant it in your mouthpiece.
I told you earlier that I'm an inukami tsukai.
You seriously fell for it, you idiot.
Impressive...
Kawahira-kun...
I'm not going to die!
I have a reason to see tomorrow come!
I-I'll kill you!
Earlier you said that throwing a punch is pointless if it doesn't connect, right?
You're wrong.
I just didn't hit you!
Body blow...?!
That's not all!
I call in the name of the wise ruler of Hakusan!
I-It can't be that...!
Frog...
...crush our enemy!
Impossible!
He didn't punch me on purpose so I wouldn't perceive the spiritual charms in his gloves?
How haughty of a mere human...
Hey, Sea of Violence...
There you are!
You've made fun of a lot of people up to today, haven't you?
Where are you?!
Where are you at?!
Now, it's your time to get beaten up.
I call in the name of the wise ruler of Hakusan!
Frog...
...crush our enemy!
Look at you now.
How does the despair from an overwhelming power taste?
However, you cannot throw a punch with that fist of yours anymore.
This is a bit shameful but...
Even my prideful "son" isn't this big...
I-I-It can't be that...!
I call in the name of the wise ruler of Hakusan!
Frog...
...pulverize our enemy!
I-Impossible...!
Miss!
How was it?
That got you good, didn't it?
I won't forgive you...
I won't forgive you!
Hah. Idiot.
That's what you get for using an attack like that in an enclosed space.
Miss, this place is dangerous!
Please evacuate now!
But!
It's fine.
It's my victory.
Kawahira-kun...
Sebastian, I'll leave Kei to you.
Understood, sir.
We'll be waiting for your arrival on the ground.
All right.
Kawahira-kun!
Well then, let's put an end to this, Sea of Violence.
This is Keita-sama's order.
From here on, the Kawahira family will put all its efforts into protecting you.
Yes.
Please do not give up.
W-Who might you be?
It's my pleasure to meet you.
I am Kawahira Kaoru.
It'll be fine.
Those two will surely take care of this matter.
It's my victory, Sea of Violence.
What are you saying?
I'm the last one standing!
You have no spiritual charms or spiritual energy left!
It's my victory!
No, it's my victory.
You bastard!
It's my victory...
Huh...? What?!
I've been telling you all this time...
That I'm an inukami tsukai.
I-Impossible!
That's right.
The one who set this barrier up was not Keita, but me.
I-It can't be that...!
I could've entered here anytime I wanted to, but Keita told me,
"Pretend that you can't enter, no matter what."
Hey, Sea of Violence...
I tried my best to hide this from Keita.
My true form...
Because I was scared of Keita finding out about it.
But...
But I'm already at my limits.
I definitely won't forgive you!
I-It can't be that... you're...
This Youko will send you to hell!
Kawahira-kun!
It's Youko...
So they have done it.
As expected from them.
As I thought, I don't want to turn you against me, Keita-san.
Oh man, it had an instant effect.
The minute that shinigami disappeared, the main bank declared bankruptcy.
The stock prices plummeted.
The villa burned down.
The hotels collapsed.
And all the valuables were stolen.
The Shindou family officially doesn't have a single yen left.
I knew it...
I'm sorry!
I'll try and do something about this!
No matter how many years it takes, I'll repay you one day!
I'll be waiting without any expectations.
Hey, Keita. I want to--
Hey, what time is it now?
Huh?
Oh, it's almost seven.
What?!
I can't be wasting time here!
See you later!
H-Hey! Where are you going?
I'm going home to change and meet at the promised spot.
"Promised"?
Hey! Don't tell me that...!
Maiko-chan, please wait for me!
Could it be that...
I have a reason to see tomorrow come!
Ke-Keita!
Hey, wait you!
Miss?
I will definitely keep my promise.
That I'll live on.
This is our apartment, right?
Yeah... I think so.
Could this be the result of us defeating the shinigami as well?
Wh-What the hell is this?!
Written as "long friend" but read as "hair."
During your youth, hair will loyally stick by you, even through your craziest acts.
But one morning, you see the fallen strands of hair on your pillow and realize...
Your youth has passed long ago.
The days past will never return again!
Come back, my scalp full of hair!
Oh, my beautiful black hair!
Next time on Inukami!
Kappa and Otosan!
Everyone, society is cold towards kappa and middle-aged men.
