-Y-Yes...

-An Exorcist...?

Side text: The explosive incident which shocked the town!

-I wanna see an Exorcist fight!!
-Ah!
-Satoru!

4:
-Arrrgh!

-Satoru!
-S-stop...!
-Shit... it's taken a hostage...!!

-L-Let go of that kid...!!
-It's a dead-end. / D-d-doing something like that... w-won't do any good!!

5:
Text: Wha...

-St...STOP!!!

6:
Box: True Cross Campus Town
Northen True Cross District 5
Low Income Housing Area

-What's ahead is very dangerous! / Stand back, everyone!!
-Wow... / There's a lot of spectators...
-It's bloody hot~ Let's go back home already~
-Alright! / Let's do this!

-Good work!!
-Oh, / thanks for coming, Okumura-kun.

7:
-Sorry I took so long. I'm a middle first class, Yukio Okumura.
-Yeah, I'm upper first class Kirigakureeee.

-I..I'm...
...?
Who's the kid?

-Hehehehe~
Me?

-I'm Rin Okumura, Exwire!
-Here to kick ass!!

-Y-y-you...! Is he safe...?
-Weeell, while yer concern is understandable, / this was decided by the "higher ups".

8:
-We're gonna be keepin' him in check, / so just trust us, yeah?
Text: Don't pinch me!
-We'd like an explanation. / Who is currently in charge here?

-T-that would... be me. / I'll explain the current state of affairs...
-Don't overstrain yourself...!

-P-Please let me explain...!
-I am Saburota Todou, the Director of the "Saishinbu". I'm an upper second class exorcist.
[Tn: "Saishinbu" means "innermost"/"deepest section"]

-What started this whole incident was that...
-we discovered the "Left Eye of the Impure King" had been stolen from inside the Academy's Saishinbu...
[Tn: It's not as accurate but I think "King of Decay" sounds cooler... XD]

9:
-How the hell did that happen!?
Text: Seriously?
-Even though Saishinbu is inside the Academy, / Wouldn't the toughest magical barrier have been set up to protect it...!?

-w-we have no idea... h-how they got in and stole it!

Text: The Saishinbu's elites, including myself,
-had cornered the Masked man up until here...
-St..Stop!!
Text: But then he took a child as a shield...

-Guuuaarghh!!
-Arrrrggghh!

10:
-AAARRRGGHHHH!!!
-Satoru!!!

-He...He escaped with the child into the building over there and is currently beseiged.

-In addition, / the Miasma is being spread around...At the moment, there are 31 "polluted", including civilians...
-But there isn't enough Doctors to treat them all.

-T-The child was directly exposed to the bottled Dark Miasma.

11:
-To be honest, it's very likely that the child was killed instantly.

-W-w-what's more, that coupled with the stolen "Left Eye"...
-T-T-This is the worst fiasco in the history of the True Cross Knights...!

Text: Is this right... Is this man really in charge of this...?
-Please calm down. / Let's just do what we can, okay?
-...About this Masked guy yer mentioned... / is he strong?

-Ah, / we don't know that either. / I- / I-It hasn't attacked us back yet, only run away... / It could be either demon or h-human...

-...Hmmm...

-At any rate, we need to hurry. / First off, Kirigakure-sensei and I will...

-Excuse me...!

12:
-What's happening to my son...!? / *cough* / *cough*
-...Please help him...!

-...You the mother of the kidnapped kid?
-No need to worry now that we're here!

-I swear, we'll save ya kid no matter what!

-Wha...?

13:
-We cannot guarantee the safety of your son.
-You'd better prepare yourself, just in case...

-Oh, god...!
-Oi!
[Tn: He has a point, Rin...]

-Nii-san cannot do this mission. / I'm counting on you, Shura-san.
-What!?
-Mmkay. / I just remembered I had some business to take care of. / C'mon, Rin.

-Bullshit!! I'm also...!!

-Exorcists are not omnipotent.

14:
-There are times when we can't save everyone.
-So you shouldn't promise that we can!!

-Don't go around decidin' shit like that before ya even try it!
-Ya scaredy cat!!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah / that's enough~!
-Lemme go, Tits McGee!

-O... / Okumura-kun...

-Todou-san!?

-P-Please let me accompany you...

-But what about your health!?
-I've been innoculated.

-As the person in charge, I want to participate...

15:
-Alright.
-Let's go.

-I'll be leading the group. / Todou-san will take the center, / and the other two will bring up the rear.

-Y-Yes.
-Okay!

-This way.

16:
-O-Okumura-kun has quite complicated circumstances, / but I'd heard you were excellent despite being so young.

-...Todou-san, your family is quite famous for it's noble Exorcists.
-Speaking of the Toudos, hasn't every generation had deep ties with the "Saishinbu"?

-It's embarassing to ask, but would you be able to shed some light on the "Left Eye of the Impure King" that was inside the "Saishinbu"? / What on earth is it?
-T-The..."Left Eye of the Impure King"...

Text: ...Over 140 years ago, at the end of the Edo Period...

There was a demon who spread around a plague and fever which killed over 40,000 humans.

About the "Eyes", which were taken out of the "Impure King" after it had been subduded...

17:
Text: Although they were only "Eyes", they still emitted miasma.

-"Left Eye"... so does that mean a "Right Eye" also exists?
-Yes...

-But it appears the location of where the "Right Eye" is sealed is kept secret. / The only ones who know about it is Mephisto and those involved.

-Hmm... I see.
-...So what does the bird do?

-Hm? / It's an Replica Canary... It's constantly singing. / It'll stop singing once it senses a miasma.
-We brought it to chase the Masked Man who stole the "Left Eye", since he's the cause of the Miasma...
-Hmmm...

18:
-Nii-san!?
-What are you doing here!? / Where's Shura-san...
-Did everything I could to get rid of her.

-...C'mon, s'all good! / I just gotta stick with either Shura or you, 'member?

-I promised his mother I'd save him!
-I can't just sit quietly and do nothin'! / So, should I take the bird?

19:
-Fine. Take the Canary.
-I won't let anything happen to it... I swear...!

-He's silent, for once.
-The masked guy is probably close.

-There!!

20:
-The kid's still alive!
-...But he's in critical condition! / ...We have to hurry...!

21:
-STOP RIGHT THERE!!!

-Stop!
-Take one more step and I'll shoot!

22:
-...He disappeared...?

-...It's a fake...?

23:
-Yukio!!

-To...
-Todou-san....!

-Mmmm

-What a pity, I've been exposed.
-But at least I'll be able to buy some time.
[Tn: My apologies Todou-san, I'm sure you're a scary demon and all, but those ears just makes me think of cute lil' doggies...]

24:
Text: A demon...
-Dam...
Text: He's become a demon...!!

-Nii-san! / There's no time to lose!
-Hurry up and get that kid outside!

-Got it...!

-Uh-oh... Can't let you do that.

-Uwaaarghh!

25:
-Don't you dare!

-GYARRRRRRRRRGGGHHH!!

-Ahh??

-Nii-san!!

-...Your opponent is me!

26:
-It's like I'm seeing my old self
-when I look at you.

-The realization that my life's path had been decided before I was even born. / For years I was unable to voice my doubts.
-Like a dog, I worked for the Organazation... and for my Family...

27:
-I wanted to be like my older brother and father.
-...But what is left for me if I lived like that?

-Nothing...

-That's why I decided I would acknowledge these feelings of mine.

-Despising my Father...My older brother...The Organization...
-And every single thing in this world...!

28:
-And you know what? / It felt wonderful once I admitted it.
-As if all the missing pieces of me just fell into place.

-You're weak. / That's nothing more than the talk of someone who succumbed to a Demon's temptations.

-There is weakness in everyone's heart.
-Are you too scared to acknowledge that, I wonder?

SFX: *beep beep*
-...Oh, looks like that's my cue.

-It's time for me to leave.
Text: My back hurts...

29:
-Wha...

-My unexpected chat with you and your brother..
-was rather enjoyable.

-Even if you don't understand right now,
-My words will slowly / resonate throughout your body.

-And at that time, I shall welcome you.
-Okumura Yukio-kun.

-...Huh...?

-*Haah* / *Haah* / *Haah*
Text: Get a grip...

Text: What are you dazing around for...

30:
-Nii-san!
-Yu...Yukio... / What are we gonna do about him...!?

-...!! I burnt the boils with my flames, / they regenerated by themselves,
-And then they suddenly started to multiply!

-We don't have anymore time...! We'll have to deal with it here...!!

-Yu...!! Yukio, are you gonna be okay? / I'll...
-Don't interfere anymore, Nii-san!!

31:
Text: Without breaking the boils,
Text: I need to directly inject the vaccine into the cellular wall.

Text: Concentrate...!

-Haah
-Haah

-Haah
-Haah

32:
-...My hands are...!

Text: Dammit...

Text: Why am I trembling...!?
Text: This is...

Text: Just like when I was a kid.

Text: Those days I was so scared I couldn't do anything but cry and shake whenever I saw demons.

33:
-"I wanted to be like my older brother and father."
-"...But what is left for me if I lived like that?"

-"Nothing..."

-"There is weakness in everyone's heart."
-"Are you too scared to acknowledge that, I wonder?"

34:
-YUKIO!!!

-Arrgh...
Text: SCREW YOU!

Text: YOU AND I ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!

35:
Tn: Oh Jesus on a poptart I hate needles. This would be my worst nightmare. :/

36:
-Thank you... so much...!
-It was nothing...

-Just what you'd expect of Okumura-Sensei.

37:
-Excellent work.
-Mephisto...!?

-My, my, we soundly lost.
-Apparently this incident was merely a ploy to distract us.
-What...!?

-The genuine "Left Eye" has been stolen.
-My familiar is tracking it now.
-Since when?

38:
-I was suspicious of that old fart so I went to check him out. / It was just as I expected.
-And one more thing. / We haven't gotten all the details yet,

-But apparently there appears to have been some trouble with the "right eye" as well.
-This is a very serious situation.

-Anyway, I'll immediately organize a force of elite troops to recapture the "Left eye", / We must pursue them.

-Okumura-Sensei... I want you to join them too.

-Me...sir?
-Yes, of course.

39:
-Since our enemy's objective is still unclear, / I want you, who directly came into contact with them, to be a part of our strategy. / Your skills are also more than acceptable.
-...Understood.

-I'll see you at the Centeral Base
-In one hour.

-...Well then, Shura-san. / I'll be leaving Ani in your care.
-Mmkay.

-Jesus... / Fer a 15 year old, he sure acts like an old man.
Text: He's gonna go bald prematurely!

40:
-Yukio!!

-I swear to God I'll surpass you!!

41:
-You just watch!

-...Nii-san surpass me...?

-No, that's not going to ever happen...
-What!?
-Keep that kind of joke to yourself.

Text: Yes...
-As you can see, I'm very busy.
-I can't take care of you forever, Nii-san.

42:
Text: I am me.
-Well, do your best!

-...astaaard...!

-I'm gonna become so great, ya whole jaw will drop off in surprise!

43:
-Bon...Have you gotten in contact with Okami-san and the head monk yet?
-Nope.

-Bon...
-I brushed aside my family's objections,
-and came here prepared to never return! / So...

-That might be true but... I have a bad feelin' about this... / I haven't been able to get in touch with my family since yesterday.
-Me too. / Could it possibly be that even the Monk...

44:
-I'll think about it.

-Oh,
-Sensei's finally coming...

-Huh?

-Good luck, Exwires!
-...Congratulations on everyone achieving the right to participate in a real mission on the other day's test. <3

-The Director!?
-And so...

45:
-Congratulations to those who earned the right to participate in a real fight- / I want you to join the expedition to Kyoto!
-Kyo... / to...?
Text: Everyone heads towards Kyoto, cloaked in a threatening atmosphere...!

-Bon!
