-Ao No Exorcist
Chapter 9: Tag
Text: Floating through darkness,
He who becomes a demon.
-Kazue Katou

2:
-So, how'd you guys do for your first mission?
-...Meh...

-I had to clean out the Leaper’s cage.
-I had to carry supplies to Yamaoku.
-I had to take a sample of Bariyoshi to Tamagawa.
[Tn: I have no idea what 'bariyoshi' is.]

-We've only just become Exwires. It can't be helped that all we get are these sorts of missions.
-They weren't missions, they were just odd jobs!
-Heheheh~~
Text: The tough and arduous days of the Exwire's!

3:
-I’m one step ahead of you guys. I got to beat a demon!

-…What the hell?
-Plus, after that I got to make it my Familiar!

-Alright, let’s see you summon it now then.
-Huh…? I left it at the dormitory's.

-…Huh, he says he 'left' it there...
-Hey! You think I'm lying?
-Still, I can't believe even those guys friggin' became exwires!

-You know, there's a chance they're putting in the effort when we aren't watching.
-What?! What do you mean, when we ain't watchin'! They should be doin' it in front of us!

-…Forget about that for a second... aren’t the girls kind of late?
-We’re sorry!

4:
-We got delayed…!!

-Shi… / Shiemi!? What happened? / No kimono?
-Well, since my Kimono wasn't really suitable for missions…The Director had me provided with a uniform... / We're late because Kamiki-san and Paku-san were teaching me how to wear it...!
Text: Why did I have too…?

5:
-It…
-It looks a bit weird, right?

-It’s fine! You look really cute, Moriyama-san!
-T-Thank you!

-W-What the hell…her skirt's too short. / Right, Yukio?
-Why do you need to ask me that?

-What, it's not like you weren't looking at her boobs…!

-THAT HUUUUUUUURT / FOUR EYES!
-Alright... now that everyone has gathered, / I'll be dividing you into groups of pairs.
-Miwa and Takara.

-Yamada and Suguro.
-I’m with him..!?

-Okumura and Moriyama.
-We’re together!
-Kamiki and Shima.

6:
-This time we're at…
-True Cross Academy's Amusement Park... Nicknamed "Mephy Land", and in order to deal with the witness and damage reports of a Ghost inside here,

-All the Exwires have been recruited to help find it.

-Can anyone tell me the definition of a 'ghost'…? / …Go ahead, Kamiki-kun!
-Yes!

-Ghosts are a demon who possesses material objects from human and animal corpses and turns them to vapor...
-Naturally, their characters are influenced by the feelings that had while still alive.

7:
-…This ghost is the type that isn't tied down to one location, and has been witnessed all over the park. / It has the appearance of a "small little boy." / At the moment the damage is at the extent of him yanking on people's arms and legs...
-…However, if we leave it unattended as it is, there is a chance that it may become evil and dangerous.

-Once you've divided into the pairs I just listed, I want you to scatter until nightfall and try to find it.
-If you find it, call either mine or Tsubaki-sensei's mobile phone immediately. / If you have any questions, please raise your hand.

-Does it have any other aspects of it's physical appearance？
-There's no need for any further explanation because you'll understand as soon as you find it.

-…Well then, if there isn't other questions,
-You're all dismissed...!

8:
-…Okay, Rin, you can look on the right side and I'll search on the left!

-H-Huh…? Isn’t…Isn’t this kinda….

-A bit…like a d-date!?
-Ooooh…

Text: It's pretty amazing! It feels really familiar.
Text: It must be 'cause of the uniform.
-…Hmm…

-…Rin! Are you with me!?
-You bet!

9:
-Shi…Shiemi!? What’s wrong? Your face is getting kinda ugly!
-Are you angry…!?

-I look like I'm grinning foolishly if I keep my face normal,
-Hah?
-So I'm forcing my face to look like this…!

-I…the truth is...I / I've been longing to go to an amusement park for as long as I can remember...!
-But when I was younger I couldn't handle it because of the sheer amount of people there.

-But I think the present me will be all right!

-The stalls and rides look so lively and fun...
-Next time I want to come here to play, not on a mission!

10:
-Th..Then next time I’ll come and hang out with you!

-Yeah!

-S-Seriously!? / Y-Y-Y-You sure!?
-Yep! / Let’s go for sure!

11:
-Ha…hahahaha! A-A-Alright! Okay, you go look over there.
-Yep!

-…Uwaaah, uwaaah…

-A voice..
-A voice?

-…aaah…

-…This way! It’s nearby!
-Huh? / Rin!
-Uwaaah, uwaah.

-Uwaaaaah…Uwaaaah…*Sob*…

-There!

-Wow, Rin. How’d you know it was here?
-Uh… I've got a gift? It's not important.
-Ugg…Ughh..

-Uwaaah
-Uhihihii…

-What’s wrong…? Why are you crying?
-…Oi, don’t talk to demons!

-Oh…yeah…
-But he’s just a little boy…

-Hiih...
-Hiih...

-"Ghosts are influenced by the feelings they had during their lifetime."

-Uwaaah…
-Waaah!

-How long are ya gonna be bleatin' for!
-Hiii!

-UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
-RIN!? / Rin, you don't have to yell at him like that!
-Huh...? Well, I mean...

13:
-Huh?

-I…I…

-I was sick for a really long time…
-Mummy and Daddy promised me...
-That if I gots better, I could come to this amusement park an' play...

-But I died…
-Now...
-I can't play with anyone anymore!

-I see…
-You must’ve been lonely, huh…

14:
-Shut up, hag!!

-Gyaahahahaha!! / Idi~ot!!

-What the hell, you brat!?
-Rin!?
-Wait, you little…!!

-Hah!
-Shuddup! / Hah / Hah

15:
-Tch! / Where did that little perverted brat go…!
-…I’ll go look over there, okay?

-Ah!

-There he is!

-Whatever, I ain't chasing after that little brat...
-I'll just report to Yukio that I found it...

SFX: Beep
-beep

16:
-Holy crap! / Who the hell are you!? / Give that back!!

-Who…? Oh, yes.

-I’m Amaimon, the prince of demons.
-I’m something similar to your older brother. Nice to meet you.
Text: Oh…

17:
Text: A demon…!?
-Hahaha /

-Wha

-ST… / STOP IT!!

18:
-Hah, hah… I see. / Part of the blade of this sword appears to be a small entrance leading to Gehanna.
-Does the sheath serve the purpose as the gateway?

-As for you, your "power" may be from Gehenna but your "body" exists in Assiah.
-…That’s enough…
-If I sheath the blade, the door closes. But if I yank it out, the door opens... So that's how it works...?

19:
-GIMME!

- Oh, no. That’s brother’s neck.

-What’s your real objective!?
-Objective?

-I had some spare time so I came here to play.

-What!?
-I studied up a bit on Japanese games.

20:
-Oni-saaan, over here… [Tn: In Japan, the person who is ‘it’ in the game of chasey is called the “Oni” (demon).]
-Towards the clapping sound~ [Tn: Again, pretty sure kids sing this while playing tag.]
-..ou bastaaaard~
-Don't underestimate me!!

-C’mere! / Just wait a sec!

-This isn’t a game of tag…

-Heheheh, you idiot! Try an' catch me if you can!

Text: What’s this kid playing at…!?

21:
Text:　I've been sick for a long time…
-Could it be…?

-He just wanted to play like a normal kid...?

-…Then he's the same as the old me…
-Such a hopeless kid…

-Waaaaaaaaait!!

-Oni-saaaaan,

-GEH!?

-Gyahaha! Woow! It’s just like we’re in a movie!!

-Idiot!! It’s dangerous!
-We've finished playing tag!

-...That reminds me, didn't I get separated from Rin around here...?

25:
-Rin…? Could it be…was he just there…?

-Rin!

-Garrgh!

-Mmmm~~~~mmm…

-Such a let down.

-I don’t understand the reason why Father and Brother have become entranced with something like this...

26:
-Oh my… Even though I thought that'd be good to kill my boredom, / Righ-

27:
-Grrrrrrr…

-Kyaaaaaa!!

28:

-I’m already dead, idiot!
-Oh!
Text: That’s right!

-But still, what the hell were you...?
-'Cause I've been sick ever since I was born...

-I got scolded every time I tried to go outside an' play...

-So today was really fun!
-Thanks, Onee-san!

36:
-…Ah…

-Hmmm? / What happened?

37:
-Are you already done?

-How boring…

-Although your older brother tries to stop you...
-Now that you've become like this, shall we break your sword?

-What are you…!?
-"Devour the Seven Princesses"

38:
-"Slay the Serpent"

-39:
-And you are?

-You’re the Earth King, Amaimon.

-How did a "big-shot" like you manage to enter the Academy?
-Were you guided by Mephisto?

-You’re being a hindrance.

-Yer the hindrance.

40:
-Haah
-Haah
-Haah

-Haah

-So it is over, after all.

-Another time, perhaps...

-Hey! Wait!

-…Tch! He was just friggin' playing...!
-Oi! …They'll be people gathering here soon!
You gotta cover your tail!

41:
-To have my sword stolen so easily...
-...To think such a strong guy existed...

-I just blacked out for a second and completely lost myself...
-This is…
-Just like the old days….!

42:
-Rin!!
-What happened!?

-Don’t touch me!!

-…What’s wrong…?

-Ah…it’s…

-I’m sorry. It’s nothing. / Aside from that, were you okay?
-What happened with that kid?
-Oh…

-…He disappeared…
-He told me “Thanks, Onee-san”…

-I see...

43:
-Next time the two of us will come to play for sure!

-S…Sure…

-Rin?
-Shiemi-san!

-Yuki-chan…!

-Are you alright?
-Yuki-chan…Rin’s hurt but I gave him some first aid…!

-Ni-san…what happened…?

44:
-Yer slow, Yukio.
-'Cause yer so slow I was forced to make my move.
-It…It can’t be!

-Long time no see.
-Who!?

-Well, whatever. I've gotten tired of lookin' like this.

45:
-I’m Shura Kirigakure, an upper first class Exorcist.
「Tn: Shura means “carnage / bloodshed”. Very awesome name.」

-I'm a Senior Inspector who was dispatched by the True Cross Vatican Headquarters,
-in order to investigate the existence of the Japanese Branch's "risk factor"...
