[guard] Huh?
What you gonna do?
Use your daemon's ability?
Yeah, I'm gonna send Hupy's scale powder
through the air vent.
[Hupy] Huuuuuupy.
[metal clangs]
[Anna whimpers]
[Hupy] Huuuuuupeee.
Let's go!
Is it okay to open it?
[metal creaks and clangs]
[Yagi] Amazing, sir!
It seems she tried to break the walls
by using stuff from her storage space.
[laughs] This is gonna be great.
I can't wait to find out
what secrets are inside your body.
[Kaede] Kento. Kento!
- Kento!
- Whoa!
Hey, wait a minute, Kento.
Aren't you a little hungry?
Why don't we eat something?
Takoyaki or okonomiyaki?
What do you think?
Ms. Kaede,
I have to go after them
and take Anna back as soon as possible.
Hold on! Where are you going?
[female voice] Citizens, are you aware
that after the daemon disaster,
human habitation zones have been
narrowed down with every passing day?
But please be assured.
We at the Peace Organization
are working day and night to ensure
a healthy future and world for all of you.
That's where they have her. I have to go!
It doesn't matter how cute she is,
they can't kidnap Anna.
Uh
[sighs]
[somber music plays]
[Yagi shudders] Ugh.
[unsettling music plays]
[Yagi] Whoa, this thing freaks me out.
She's a test subject.
I used to peel off pieces of her scalp
and examine it.
What did you study it for?
[scientist] She secretes a fluid
that's able to enrich our hair.
Our hair growth tonic
that was developed based on the research
became super popular.
Hey, her fluid is also used
in a lot of hair dye.
- [scientist laughs]
- Ugh!
[unsettling music fades]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Is Chief Ogi around here anywhere?
[man] He went in the research building.
Looks like they just got in
a rare test subject.
Here. This is
the visitor list for tomorrow.
- He asked me to give it to you.
- Hm.
Hm.
No kidding! Whoa!
The visitors tomorrow are gonna be
students from my alma mater?
Uh [groans]
[gasps]
[laughs nervously] I'm here.
[woman] The infinite number
of gods in nature will never abandon us.
Let's eradicate the daemons
and restore our beautiful earth!
Daemons are sinful beings.
The infinite number of gods in nature
will never abandon us.
Let's eradicate the daemons
and restore our beautiful earth!
Uh
[Kaede] Ichinose.
- Huh?
- [Kaede] Ichinose!
[squeals] It's been so long!
You you came back to Osaka.
I'm so glad that you're
Uh
Uh Igisu!
[Igisu] Igi!
And you are
This here is Kento.
This is Ichinose.
She was a year behind me In junior high
and now works at the Peace Organization.
Peace Organization?
What? Why is that so surprising to him?
That's kind of a long story.
I'll tell you everything
back at the house.
[jaunty music plays]
[groans]
[jaunty music continues]
[sniffs] Ahh.
[music stops]
Look, Kento, I know you miss Anna
and you're worried about her,
but you need to eat to stay healthy.
Kaede was a senior in school
when I met her through the kyūdō club.
I used to make nabe just like this
for everybody after practice.
[sniffs and blows]
Oh, it's hot!
It's so yummy.
[sniffs] I wish
I could share these with Anna.
Uh, so I'm guessing
that he wants to get Anna back, right?
Anna was likely transported
to the research facility
of the Peace Organization.
I want you to help us rescue her.
[Kento] Please, I beg you to help us!
I'm really, really worried
about Anna! [cries]
[Igisu] Igigi.
Are you trying to comfort me, Igisu?
[Igisu] Igi.
You are a good guy
and a great friend. [cries]
[Ichinose] What a weird kid.
It seems he understands
the daemon's feelings.
Hold on, why don't you just ask them
to do you a favor?
Talk to the chairman!
You can do that?
The Peace Organization
was first established by my grandfather.
[gasps] What?!
But I don't think Anna would be released,
even if we were to ask him.
[Igisu snores]
Why are you going out of your way
to help him?
Mm.
Can humans and daemons coexist?
When I see Kento and Anna,
I think it might just be possible.
Coexistence.
Is the idea of us existing together
why you became a daemon user?
Yes.
But I'm worried about one thing.
If they continue to keep Anna and Kento
separated from each other,
there's a risk
that the whole of Osaka might disappear.
Uh
- Ichinose, please lend us a hand.
- [Ichinose whimpers]
No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no.
Uh
Uh wait!
I have an idea!
I'm pretty sure
I know how we can rescue Anna.
[unsettling music plays]
Anna!
Anna!
Anna!
[Anna whimpers]
Okay, do it.
A-anna!
Anna!
Na! Anna! Anna!
[groans] Anna!
[Anna yells]
Na! Anna!
Anna!
Ah, the handle! Did she store it?
Looks like it. There's nothing
indicating that she pried it off.
She was able to disassemble it
and store its parts.
On to the next test.
I can't wait! [giggles]
[Anna squeals]
[Anna whimpers]
Anna!
So, Ito, can I ask how old you are now?
[Ito] I'm 27.
Interesting.
That's the same age my daughter was
when she vanished along with Seori Island.
Is there anything we've found out so far
about the captured daemon?
Currently, the research team is in the lab
actively collecting its data.
But there seems to be one concern
[chairman] What is it?
There was another person there too,
aside from the boy,
when the daemon was captured.
Kaede?
[tense music plays]
- [Igisu] Igi!
- [Ichinose exclaims]
[chuckles awkwardly]
You've got to be a little quieter.
The only way I could think of
to sneak you past security
was to pretend you were cargo.
[Igisu grumbles]
[Ichinose laughs nervously]
[tense music continues]
[Ichinose exhales nervously]
[groans] Oh my gosh, what am I gonna do?
[Ichinose breathes shakily]
[tense music crescendos]
[tense music plays]
[Ichinose panting]
[Ichinose whimpers]
[tense music continues]
Uh
Hm.
[gasps]
Lab D is in operation.
I think they're looking into the abilities
of the rare daemon samples
that were delivered yesterday.
If Anna's in this facility,
she has to be there.
[tense music plays]
Welcome, all visitors.
Would everyone please gather
right in front here.
[tense music continues]
[Kento] Anna, I'll be there soon.
[microphone squeaks]
Here at our research facility,
we analyze the biology of daemons
and use that knowledge to make products
such as pharmaceuticals,
medical equipment, and building materials.
[tense music plays]
- [student 1] This one's amazing.
- [Kento gasps]
[student 1] It's so cool.
[sighs]
[student 2] Huh?
[Kento groans]
- [student 3] Hey, you're not
- [gasps]
What class are you in?
[chuckles nervously]
I have never seen you before.
[Kento whimpers]
- Refrain from touching the exhibits.
- Oh, crap.
- Hey don't do that.
- Uh, what?
[gentle music plays]
[Kento] Oh, it's him!
He's the one who took Anna away.
[Kaede] That's Mr. Kokonoe.
He's the head of daemon capture.
We should take another way.
Oh.
[man sighs]
I'm starving.
And here you go.
[Hupy] Hupeeee.
[daemon growls]
- [Kokonoe] Is everything okay?
- The daemons are ready when needed, sir.
These guys couldn't look any nastier,
could they, sir?
Don't say that.
They actually help us do our work.
It would be hard
to capture dangerous daemons without them.
[Kokonoe] Do not neglect
the importance of their care.
[man] Yes, sir.
[researcher] Chief Ogi, look at this.
This is her x-ray.
There are no bones or internal organs.
- Oh.
- What the hell is going on with her body?
[all] Chairman!
[tense music plays]
The time has come
for me to be alone with that daemon.
Everyone, take a break now.
- You too, Ito.
- [Ito] Yes.
But, sir, someone needs to watch over you.
I will be fine. See yourselves out.
[tense music continues]
Anna?
[chairman] Storage daemon.
How shall I put this?
You are uglier
than I could have ever imagined.
Your name is Anna.
Kento Tachibana found you.
Is this the boy?
Anna! Anna, anna!
[Kaede] Wait a minute.
- What?
- Did we get lost?
It's just so complicated. I lost track.
[gasps]
[Anna] Anna.
Annah!
Anna.
Anna, anna!
Anna?
I hear her.
Over there. Anna is that way!
How do you know?
I can feel it. Ms. Kaede, let's go!
Where are they?
[whimpers]
Sorry we're late.
[Igisu] Igi. [mumbles]
[chairman] It was 18 years ago
that all of this happened.
On this island right here,
a daemon was discovered.
It had the exact same ability as you,
but apparently the daemon's ability
became uncontrollable,
and the island vanished
from the face of the earth.
The daemon absorbed
anything and everything it could find
into another dimension.
Then it disappeared.
They say it not only stored the island,
but its very own body as well.
Your existence is dangerous.
I believe that the rim of the hole
which leads to your storage space
is also the end point of this world.
If the hole keeps widening,
instead of closing, this world will end.
[Anna] An-anna!
Are you sure you want to see him?
You, a mere daemon,
have some kind of affection for the human?
Don't you understand?
You will just make
this young boy's life miserable!
[Anna whimpers]
[Kaede] You said Anna is in Lab D, right?
[Ichinose panting] Yes.
[Kaede gasps]
[Igisu] Igi.
[Ichinose] Stromatolites look the best
when you see them from this angle,
don't you agree?
[scientist] Hm. Hmm.
[Ichinose] No, no, this angle is the best.
They are sparkly and shiny,
and super glossy.
They have a curly shape,
and it's just better.
[exhales]
[Kento] She's scary, but cool.
Huh?
[unsettling music plays]
[music fades]
What did you say?
Hey, what are you doing? They'll see you!
This daemon says
she wants to get out of here.
