Nijiiro shinju no himitsu
1
Towa and Setsuna.
Between us half-demon twins, two
different worlds exist at the same time.
Human and demon.
Feudal era and present day.
Peacefulness and war.
Joy and sorrow.
Dreams and reality.
One moment and eternity.
And finally, love and hate.
A Feudal Fairytale,
Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.
We'll keep moving forward
through the hurdles of destiny!
KIRINMARU'S RETAINER – RIKU
Our sworn enemy, the Dog-Demon of
the West, has been spotted at Kamakura.
I see. Is that so?
What's more, I hear
he has sustained grave injuries
from battling Shishinki and Ryukotsusei.
If we move now, we may easily
be able to strike him down.
Let us put an end to him,
and we can finally rule the entire land.
Lord Kirinmaru, we only need your order
Fools!
If I am to challenge him to battle,
it cannot be when he is wounded and weak.
A battle must be won with honor. Is that
too much for you fools to understand?
Riku! Riku, are you here?
Right here.
Gather the finest
medicinal herbs you can find
and go deliver them to him.
Hurry!
All right.
Battle is meaningless
unless you pour your all into it.
Winning with underhanded tactics
will only leave you empty.
-Understood.
-Understood.
When will he learn to compromise?
He troubles us to no end.
If he weren't so obstinate,
we'd already be ruling the land.
It's burning. Lady Izayoi's mansion
Oh. I didn't make it in time.
The Great Dog-Demon is dead.
"Secret of the Rainbow Pearls"
You're telling me he died?
How could that be? That's impossible.
Were we demons not fated to
journey an endless path?
To wander through an eternal destiny?
Damn it all.
So the Shikon Jewel's ominous prophecy
has come true after all.
Madam. The Great Dog-Demon died.
But, Izayoi and the
half-demon child survived.
I know.
Those who are loved
are fated to end in beauty.
What's that, coming from your eyes?
It's very pretty.
You think these are pretty?!
You have such poor taste, you know that?
Taste?
Try and use that head of yours!
My head?
I don't need demon powers.
I don't want this grief.
In fact, I don't even want this heart.
And I shall never shed
these wretched tears again.
Shikon Jewel. Grant me my wish!
Those are pretty.
These seven Rainbow Pearls
contain my demon powers
and the power of the Shikon Jewel.
Good riddance. Now I am no longer a demon.
-Madam.
-What is it?
You're not sad?
About what?
No It's nothing.
It's been two hundred years. Madam.
I only have three for now.
But it won't be long
until I have all seven.
Do you understand, Towa?
Don't go anywhere tonight. I mean it.
I know, I know!
I'll be back as soon as I'm done.
Be as good as Kirara usually is!
I already said I know!
-You're done?
-Yes.
Kirara.
That was more of a
thorough warning than usual.
That's because tonight
is the night of the new moon,
the night she turns human.
Geez.
She's treating me like I'm a kid.
And I'm the one who's older.
You remind me of her.
Of who? Setsuna?
No. You're just like your mother.
Granny Kaede, you know our mother?
I know her very well.
We lived together for many years.
Since Setsuna and I are half-demons,
our mother was a human, right?
Her name is Rin,
and she was a very kind soul.
However, some time after she
gave birth to the two of you
She suddenly disappeared.
I don't know if someone took her away,
or if she left on her own.
It has been about
fourteen years since then.
I wonder if she died?
That may be so.
That's pretty cold of you to say.
I'm sorry.
In our current day,
I am all too familiar with life and death.
I see. Sorry, I really don't
understand anything, huh?
Just like your mother Rin,
you're a kind child.
I hope you at least
get some good rest tonight.
Okay, thank you.
Good night.
Setsuna.
It's the Sacred Tree.
Wait, could this be
Could this person be our mother?
The new moon hasn't ended yet.
Huh? What's that light?
It's the butterfly!
The same one from my dream.
Wait, Dream Butterfly.
Hey, this is
the Forest of the Tree of Ages.
This is just like what I saw in my dream.
SPIRIT FROM THE DREAM WORLD –
DREAM BUTTERFLY
I lost sight of it.
The Tree of Ages
I had always looked up at this tree
back in my time.
Higurashi Shrine will be built here
500 years from now, won't it?
But I feel like this forest isn't
the one Setsuna and I grew up in.
It's cold. Let's see
I should have some hand warmers
What are these?
Tonight is a new moon.
According to Konton,
that Half-Demon Princess loses her
powers on the night of a new moon.
Tonight is the perfect night
to take my revenge!
Rainbow Pearl, lead me to
the Half-Demon Princess!
Around there, huh?
Are these fireflies?
Wait. Fireflies? In the winter?
I hope you liked them.
Riku?
Good evening, Lady Towa.
Oh my, do my eyes deceive me?
You look exceptionally beautiful
tonight, Lady Towa.
O-Oh, you think so?
Your left eye in particular
is sparkling more than usual.
So the Silver Pearl lies much deeper
within your eye, then.
Damn. Looks like
I won't be able to retrieve it tonight.
Okay, it's boiled.
Thanks. That's handy, huh?
Sorry, we'll have to share one.
Here's some black tea.
It's from a tea bag, though.
Thank you kindly.
This is delicious!
I've never had tea this delicious before.
It's Darjeeling.
I actually like Earl Grey more, but
This is good.
I thought fireflies were only around
during the summer.
You're right.
Fireflies don't fly in the wintertime.
They're gone.
Those who are loved
are fated to end in beauty.
Fleeting, aren't they?
The lives of winter fireflies.
And so, too, are the lives of humans.
They burn up and vanish in an instant.
Is that what makes them so beautiful?
Riku, you say some
complicated things, huh?
The madam who took care of me
used to talk about it often.
Wow! What an amazing starry sky!
The one who used to be my master
enjoyed looking up at the stars.
Your master sounds like a romanticist.
I don't know about that, but he
holds a bit of reverence for the sky.
But right now,
we both want the same thing,
so I've been distancing myself from him.
The same thing? What do you want, Riku?
Well, it's the Rainbow Pearls of course.
Rainbow Pearls?
These here. There are seven in total.
What happens if you gather all of them?
Who knows? All seven Rainbow Pearls
have never been gathered before.
Your powers would increase, I suppose.
Is that all?
Or perhaps a devastating
Degenerate Age could begin.
Maybe
But you could say that our world
has already become corrupted.
A lot of demons are after them, right?
We've been attacked for
our Pearls a few times.
The truth is, these are the tears
of the madam who took care of me.
Tears? So her tears turned into pearls?
Yes. I want to gather all seven of them
and return them to her.
I see.
Wait, does that mean you're after
my, Setsuna's, and Moroha's Pearls too?
Oh dear, you got me there!
It seems it'll have to be that way.
If you remain calm,
I can remove it without hurting you.
There you are!
Totetsu turns up out of the blue!
W-Was that a joke?
What a complete lack of taste.
Riku? You were here, too?
You should've just died.
Wretched bug.
You got in the way of our date!
I won't forgive you for this!
You're the one who's wretched,
you piece of trash.
-Don't get cheeky with me!
-Riku!
This is why I hate you.
I accept this fight!
I wonder what you taste like?
Maybe you'd taste
the same as Lord Kirinmaru?
What? Riku and Kirinmaru
would taste the same?
Why don't you shut your mouth?!
Guess I'll find out by eating you!
POISON BEES OF THE DEAD – MIASMA BUGS
Have some poison bees instead!
Damn miasma bugs!
Are you okay?
Th-Thank you.
Riku!
Riku! Hang in there.
Damn you.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Hey, who is Kirinmaru to you?
Kirinmaru is the one
who used to be my master.
You mean that romanticist
you were talking about earlier?
Well, I suppose so, yes.
I was thrown away by my master.
Oh, no.
I've only survived this far because of
the madam who took care of me.
The blood's not stopping.
Damn it. Miasma bug poison is a real pain.
But why would you continue
to help me like this?
You know I'm Kirinmaru's enemy, right?
I wonder why.
I can't seem to understand it myself.
There's really no reason
to be protecting you.
On the contrary, if I love you,
then I should've killed you by now.
Maybe I don't have enough love yet.
I'm no good at this.
Understanding love is
far beyond a doll like me.
Hang in there.
I don't really understand
romantic love, either.
But if it's liking someone,
then I think I might.
This way.
Riku, are you okay?
Lady Towa, please run away.
You castaway puppet! You still betray us?
Lady Zero, Lord Kirinmaru, and I
will never forgive you for your actions!
Good grief. This really isn't to my taste!
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Scourge of Swallows!
What?
-Towa!
-Are you okay?
You two!
Ow, ouch.
It's the Half-Demon Princesses.
Geez, the both of you are late!
Are you kidding me?
We've been looking all over for you!
Didn't I tell you not to wander off?!
Sorry.
The sun is up!
Okay, Totetsu of the Four Perils,
sorry this is sudden, but
Let's settle this quick!
I hope you're ready.
You're kidding.
I've got plans to live a long life.
I'll swallow all of you at once!
I only kill the ones I love.
However
I'll have to make an exception for you.
Riku!
I'm so glad you're okay, Lady Towa.
I was so scared
that I couldn't help myself.
Step away.
You have the same scent as Kirinmaru.
What's this?
Yet another tasteless comment.
Riku!
I may not know about love, but I do know
what it means to like someone.
And I know that I like you, Riku!
This is
The Silver Pearl?
Lady Towa.
What a tremendously tasteful
thing for you to do.
Give my regards to that madam of yours.
But can you overlook
Setsuna and Moroha's Pearls?
You're a strange person, Lady Towa.
You think so?
I think you're pretty strange, too.
As a living being,
I'm an imitation at best.
Imitation?
Yes.
I can barely call myself a half-demon,
so I don't think you have to worry.
You're just you, Riku.
I'm just me, you say?
For an abandoned puppet like me,
those words are too kind.
Lady Towa.
Thank you for your Rainbow Pearl.
If fate allows it, we shall meet again.
Hey, hey.
I can't believe you'd hand over
your treasured Pearl. But
I wonder if I can take
Totetsu's head here?
If so, then Mr. Riku
sure is a nice fellow.
I'll eat you.
How are you gonna do that
when you don't have a belly?
Give up already.
No more worrying about food for a while!
Was that really okay?
Handing over your Pearl like that?
The Silver Pearl is mine, after all.
And even without it,
I still have enough demon power.
That's not it.
With those Rainbow Pearls,
he'll have immense demon power.
He's just giving them back
to their rightful owner.
We can only hope that the rightful owner
won't use them for evil.
And wasn't Mr. Riku
working with Kirinmaru?
That's right!
Riku!
I changed my mind!
Give me back my Silver Pearl!
Riku! Wait!

Lend me the fruits of your training,
the power of the seal.
A woman who calls herself Otsuyu breaks
the seal that Monk Miroku cast on Setsuna.
It's those eyes that were
staring at me while I dreamt!
The seething of blood will
invite demonic frenzy.
Setsuna's way too strong!
Next time on Yashahime:
