Hinatsuki Dormitory Site
Sorry for dragging you along.
It's fine.
I've wanted to come here with you for a while.
I felt the same.
I see...
Here at the Hinatsuki Dorm was where I began to walk the path of an exorcist.
But after the tragedy that occurred here...
I abandoned that path.
And the one who gave me the strength to walk the exorcist path again
was you.
It's the same for me.
You've given me so much strength.
Hey, Benio...
Will you come with me?
There's something I want you to hear.
Into Chaos Seeking the Past, Seeking the Future
Before we even met, we were both chasing the same dream, weren't we?
To become the strongest exorcist.
To create a future where no one suffers because of Kegare,
I will exorcise all evil Kegare.
That's my dream.
When I heard you say that, it gave me quite a jolt.
But...
After going through the Hinatsuki tragedy,
I thought I no longer had the right to fight
for the world, or the future, or anything grand like that.
I couldn't ignore people I saw being hurt in front of me...
If someone is asking for help, as an exorcist, I want to reach out and help them.
That was all I thought.
But then the pervy underpants guy showed up...
The Miko brings an end to Magano,
and the Miko is the child of the Twin Stars.
In other words, the Twin Stars is the title given to
the exorcists whose union brings forth the Miko.
The strongest exorcist husband and wife give birth to the ultimate exorcist.
In other words, you two will get married and have a baby.
It's decided! Congrats!
And we found ourselves getting wrapped up in something pretty huge.
Showing an opening to Kegare during battle is a fatal disgrace for an exorcist.
Are you even taking this seriously?
If you feel that strongly, then why don't you show me?
Show me what you're capable of with that arm,
and just how committed you are.
And then...
Nii-sama appeared.
Your crime is
your lack of commitment to becoming truly powerful.
After you fought him...
We swore together....
Let's get stronger, Benio.
Let's get stronger, Rokuro.
Together!
Then we mastered Resonance and fought him again.
Flame Contact!
Crimson Blast!
Resonance!
Crimson Meteor Smash!
My brother
then disappeared into the darkness.
After that, I made a promise to the pervy underpants guy.
Two years. We'll wait two years!
In that time,
you must become stronger than the Twelve Guardians you see here!
Yeah!
We just gotta surpass them, right?
Challenge accepted!
Surpassing the Twelve Guardians in two years...
At the time, I thought we could do it.
Or more like, I felt we had to.
But...
When I saw the Twelve Guardians fight the Basara during our trip with Sae,
I was reminded all over again...
That we still can't even begin to compare to them.
Still...
We have to surpass them!
He said Arima lost to the likes of Kuranashi?
That damn Mikage!
Spouting nonsense...
I don't believe it!
We're talking about Arima.
He's probably hiding somewhere, with something up his sleeve!
Don't you agree, Cordelia?
S-O... D-E-A-T-H...
That's right (sou desu).
Right?!
Yeah! That's right!
Inconceivable!
Inconceivable!
With our leader, the head exorcist, missing,
we of the Exorcist Union have fallen into disarray,
resulting in unprecedented panic!
Seems like you're the one panicking the most.
To avoid a worst-case scenario,
Arima-sama must be found as soon as possible!
Where has he gone?! Where?!
Just shut up and look for him. So obnoxious...
This isn't funny!
Even with overtime pay, I'm not gonna come out even.
Maybe I should double down with the bet I made
on him being safe, and score big that way instead.
You sure do love money, huh, Kengo?
You got a problem with that, you quack?
Nah...
But if he really did lose to Kuranashi,
aren't we responsible, since we lost track of Kuranashi afterwards?
Right, Arata-san?
That's true,
but Kuranashi's presence vanished so suddenly.
Something is going on here that we're not seeing.
Exorcist Union Headquarters
Sorry, folks.
There's something we need to check into.
Once we finish, we'll catch up with you.
Understood.
If I have business in the area, I'll drop by Narukami.
You must be worried about the Twin Stars, huh?
Or maybe...
You've got someone else on your mind?
No, not at all!
Anyway, I'm heading off.
Well, shall we?
Narukami
It's not just the Twelve Guardians we need to overcome.
The Basara that we met during our travels...
They were as strong as Kamui, or perhaps even stronger.
There were several that we weren't able to exorcise.
We'll have to finish things with them someday.
Momochi...
Watch me.
I swear I'll avenge you.
That was a hell of a spell!
It's got me overflowing with spell power myself!
I'm going to gather some Twelve Guardian heads and give them to Kuranashi as a gift!
I need to consume much, much more spell power...
I'm must become the most delectable woman there is, after all.
They're not the only ones we need to settle things with.
Today was the most fun I've had in a while.
For our next encounter,
at least gain enough power to force me to use half my strength.
Oh, you can give birth to the Miko and I'll fight them instead, if you want.
Kamui...
And more than anyone else, we have to beat him.
The people who can control the power of both yin and yang—
Those are exorcists!
I strive to become the user of ultimate spell power...
A sublime, superior existence...
That's right!
In other words, the strongest exorcist!
Yuto...
I didn't know anything.
The Twelve Guardians, the Basara, Yuto...
People who are much stronger than us
are all fighting for such incredibly grand things.
Sae-chan, too.
As a branch of the Ame-no-mihashira,
she fights to maintain the barrier that keeps Magano out.
You're right...
And among all of that, what is there that we, the chosen Twin Star Exorcists,
can do that no one else can?
Something other than giving birth to the Miko?
Yeah.
I remembered...
Papa...
