Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (半妖の夜叉姫)

– Stop right there! – Please, spare my life!

Damn, missed the mark.

Oh, what sturdy bone structure...

What? You mean me?

All alone this late at night?

TOKOTSU'S SON – JAKOTSUMARU

This ain't the Gojo Bridge, you know. Don't you think it's a bit dangerous for you?

You're the one who's in danger here.

"Jakotsumaru of the Red Bone Palace"

A-All good, Moroha?

So this is the Feudal Era...

Setsuna.

Setsuna!

I'm glad you're safe.

DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA Yes. I have managed to return.

If we defeated Root Head, how are we getting back to the modern era?

TOWA HIGURASHI Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

FOUR-EYED OWL DEMON – YOTSUME

Lady Kyuki.

Yotsume.

The girl who defeated Tokotsu has returned to these lands.

So this is Moroha. To think he was defeated by this child...

ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – KYUKI

Yotsume.

How is Jakotsumaru doing?

He is eagerly gathering bones in order to revive his father.

Then let him take his revenge.

Tell Jakotsumaru so, won't you?

Yes, ma'am.

There we go.

Okay Granny, can you look after my stuff?

VILLAGE ELDER PRIESTESS – KAEDE Sure, that's fine, but...

All right. I'm going to go sell these to the corpse dealer.

See you! I'll be back!

My goodness, she's just like Kagome, running around everywhere...

KOHAKU Did you find anything?

The Dream Butterfly, huh? It doesn't sound like it's an apparition.

Could it be like a shikigami or a puppet?

Perhaps.

According to this, it could be inhabiting Mount Musubi.

Mount Musubi, huh?

Let's try going there, Setsuna.

Chief, are there any slaying jobs available?

As a matter of fact, I do!

I was going to ask Hisui, but...

Setsuna.

I walk my own path. If you want to hunt bugs, then do it on your own.

Whoa, what is this?

The bones have been pulled out.

It must be an apparition.

This is about the tenth victim now.

I heard that the demon looks like a beautiful boy.

Could we ask you demon slayers to take care of this?

Leave it to us.

MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI Uncle,

why won't you let me handle this job?

The problem is your Hiraikotsu.

My older sister once went up against a bone-eating demon.

Mother did?

She mentioned that Hiraikotsu is practically food for bone-eating demons.

So this apparition appears near the river at night?

Yes.

Fine. I will slay it.

Let's do our best, Setsuna.

You're going to help us?

Yeah, leave it to me.

I'm surprised you two get along!

I can't believe you're Sesshomaru's daughters.

We're complete strangers.

Hey, that's not nice! I'm doing this for you, and—

Shut up. Stop following me around.

All right, all right.

If you run into any trouble, make sure to let us know, alright?

That's why I'm having Kirara tag along.

Will you be fine on your own?

I have Kirara.

Her older sister Towa will be with her, too.

CAT DEMON – KIRARA

I'm counting on you, Kirara.

– Whoa, Kirara, you're awesome! – Let's go.

Don't touch me. Don't grab on to me.

But then I'd fall off!

CORPSE DEALER

How's that, Corpse Dealer Jyubei?

I had a pretty hard time with this one!

CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI Where had you vanished to

CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI these past few days, Moroha?

Planning on turning tail, eh?

Of course not!

Remember, you're on a short leash. You still have a debt to pay.

No need to remind me! I'll pay it back soon.

Don't forget your promise. I'm the one shouldering your debt.

Yeah, yeah.

The Hitokon and the flea demon. That'll be six mon.

Six mon?! That's the toll to cross the Sanzu River!

Wait. Flea demon?

FLEA DEMON – MYOGA

Long time no see, Lady Moroha!

But how could you be so horrible as to sell me off?!

Didn't see you there, Grandpa Myoga.

Wait, you weren't selling that? Five mon, then.

Oh, come on.

When I brought you Tokotsu, you gave me a bag of silver!

Right, that headless Tokotsu.

This and that are a world of difference.

If you also had Tokotsu's head, I would've given you a bag of gold.

Besides, that bag of silver was actually a deposit.

What? Really?

If you don't bring me the head, I'll have you pay back the deposit.

Takechiyo, are you here?

YOUNG RACCOON DOG DEMON – TAKECHIYO

What is it, Master Jyubei?

I can't let Moroha escape.

Follow her around and make sure she slays Tokotsu.

You got it!

I'm sure Jakotsumaru has been gathering bones in order to revive his father.

You need to slay him before that happens, or you'll have trouble on your hands.

So, would you happen to know where he is?

I'll take you there.

You better be thankful.

Yeah, yeah.

Getting bored?

No, not at all. I just got a little sleepy.

Sleepy?

Oh, uh, that's not what I meant, um...

Sorry, Setsuna.

Stop apologizing all the time. It's annoying.

By the way, I've never seen the sky so dark at night—

Be quiet!

Scourge of Swallows!

Did we get him?

No, he escaped.

That's a relief. I didn't want to kill such a cute child.

Are you still saying such things?

Is this...

The shards of bones keep going.

He's at the end of this trail.

All right, Takechiyo. I'll be done soon, so wait around in a safe spot.

Don't you dare run away, Moroha.

I'll be watching you.

Moroha.

Is that you, Towa? And Setsuna, too!

Are you both here to swipe my bounty again?

Moroha, your prey is here as well?

I'm not telling you! This one's worth a bag of gold.

A bag of gold?

Lady Moroha!

As one of the Four Perils, Tokotsu's head is worth more than a bag of gold!

He's worth at least a gold ingot.

– Will you shut up? – Oh, scary!

The problem is the remaining Four Perils. They won't be silent for long.

That's true.

But if I get them involved, things might work out!

Moroha is scheming something.

There be my father's murderer— Moroha the Demon Killer!

Starting from my Master, the Great Dog-Demon himself,

I've been serving this family for three generations. My name is Myoga.

And I must say, Lady Moroha's blood is closest to the Great Dog-Demon's...

even more delicious than Master Inuyasha's!

I don't care about all that. Just tell me about the Four Perils.

The Four Perils were demons that crossed over from the mainland

during the Spring and Autumn Period.

They are demon beasts named Konton, Totetsu, Kyuki, and Tokotsu.

They were controlled by Kirinmaru, a Beast King like the Great Dog-Demon.

Kirinmaru? Did you just say Kirinmaru?
