Daemons of the Shadow Realm (黄泉のツガイ)

Daemons of the Shadow Realm

Danji, you...

You're a Daemon, aren't you?

You're not human.

You've been lying to me, too.

I actually look like this.

Together, we're Zashiki-Warashi.

So Kyoka-san was lying to me, too?

There's no one in the village I can trust anymore.

What do you want?

Leave me alone. I'm trying to think.

Damn you.

There are so many people and things down here that it's hard to find solitude.

Back in the village, I could go into the mountains to be alone.

I could think without interruptions.

Between bandits, beasts, and treacherous terrain,

there are constant threats to your life in the mountains,

so my focus is always on survival.

What should I be doing to stay alive?

Focusing on that leads my disorganized thoughts to a plain and simple answer.

So I liked being in the mountains.

But Danji always tried to follow me.

He'd say, "What if something happens to you while you're alone?"

It was annoying.

Episode 15 Yuru and Danji

Father and Mother...

abandoned me and Asa and left.

Father and Mother... are gone.

I...

I'll always stay with you.

Damn it.

You reminded me of something I was trying not to think about.

He told us to leave him alone.

A dog isn't a person. It doesn't count.

I understand now why you like your master.

Daemons and humans are alike.

You're too friendly, you know that?

Neither of us can live alone.

Huh? Where's Danji?

He just left by himself.

Welcome back, Master.

He had something to do elsewhere.

Like what?

He sensed his other half down here.

His other half? The fake Asa?

She came down the mountain?

He's going to look for her.

Look for her? By himself?

Daemons share a strong connection with their other half. He'll be fine.

We can detect each other even when we're far apart.

Seriously? He left?

I had questions for him.

He asked us to tell you that he's sorry and that he won't make excuses.

The sun is setting. We should go, too.

See you later.

We're always hanging out around here!

Feel free to reach out anytime!

Thank you!

Reasonable Daemons are great, aren't they?

Danji-san.

We'll help you look for your other half.

Oh, no. I couldn't trouble you like that.

It's fine.

We know this area well.

You'll find them quicker if we search together.

Besides...

We'd love to make more legendary friends!

You're super famous, Zashiki-Warashi-san!

Where shall we start?

We'll show you the way.

Why are you crying?

I don't know what we did, but we're sorry!

Thank you!

What is this?

What's going on here?

Welcome back, Dera-san.

Oh, you shaved your beard?

Oshirasama, what are you doing here?

I took the highway.

That's not what I meant.

And horses are treated like non-motorized vehicles.

They're not allowed on highways.

Oh no. I broke traffic laws.

Hey, you finished the hotpot without me!

Thanks for the meal.

Seriously, Yuru? Didn't we say we'd eat together?

But Hana-san said...

We should eat while we can because there's no telling when an emergency will strike.

Besides, the ingredients will spoil.

Thanks for the meal.

I couldn't argue with that. Right?

Yeah, you're right.

It's my fault for not eating when I had the chance.

You didn't eat while you were out?

I was going to get something at Jin's place,

but they only served me canned coffee.

Here. This is from Jin.

For you, Yuru.

It's a picture of Father and Mother!

Asa said she'd give me this at the Kagemori mansion.

She remembered.

She slipped pictures of herself in here.

That's so annoying.

* Filter Applied to Eyes

You met with Jin at a Kagemori establishment?

Yup. Asa-chan couldn't come, though.

Which means you exchanged information about my parents.

I hate perceptive brats like you.

I see. So the fake Asa is Zashiki-Warashi,

and she and some village kids were taken hostage.

Who are the kids who were kidnapped?

I don't know.

How many were kidnapped?

I don't know.

And he named me specifically?

It wasn't very nice of him to take hostages.

No one's stupid enough to walk right into such an obvious trap.

Yeah. If he managed to capture the fake Asa,

he must be a Daemon Wielder.

This won't be easy.

Let's let the bandits take the lead.

Yeah, they seem to want to fight.

I wish they weren't so hot-headed.

If we're lucky, we can rescue the village kids while they're fighting.

And the fake Asa while we're at it.

She can help us find Danji.

I'll question both of them about the village.

And my parents, too.

Why are you laughing, Right and Left?!

He's probably a Daemon Wielder, right?

Which means he can detect Right and Left.

We can use them to make him think I'm around, too.

Fujimurayama Warehouse

Then we'll send them to meet him at warehouse one.

Where should we go?

Somewhere I can reach him with my bow.

That'd be this factory across from the warehouse.

What's the terrain like?

It's elevated.

In that case...

Hana-san, what are they doing?

If you don't want to get dragged into bullshit, don't listen.

I feel a bit anxious about being separated from Yuru.

Is that safe?

I won't stick around if anything dangerous shows up.

I'm counting on you if things get dicey, Right and Left.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm

I want to see my brother.

I want to see my brother.

Asa-chan, you've been saying that over and over.

I want to see my brother.

She's broken.

Well, as long as her hands are moving.

Wait, this is bad!

All the background characters are Yuru-kun!
