02x04 - Golden Beetles Are Rich / Cute Butcher / Door to the Past

[bunniefuu]

THE BEGINNING

ALL THAT GLITTERS...

We've arrived.
- This is the place.

It's huge!

So this is the landlady's mansion.

Now we'll somehow make it look
like the landlady died at home.

Because things will get messy
if En finds out she died at our place.

Saji, what are you doing?

The embroidery side hustle
that is due today.

There are security cameras installed!

That rich woman! Damn it!

Everyone, look over there.

The security system's main unit.

If we do something about it,
the security cameras should shut off.

Ton.
- Right.

The distance to the target
is about 35 meters, isn't it?

All right.

Amazing! That was great, you pig!

Passing through!

Please insert smoke.

So she had a smoke lock after all.

It won't open
without the landlady's magic smoke.

What should we do, Dokuga?
It's not like we can waste time here.

Okay!

I guess it is my turn to shine!

How do you like my crazy strength?

Amazing!

I don't really care,
but let's hurry and get in.

It's so dark
that I can't do my embroidery.

Really, what the hell did you come for?

So heavy...

She must weigh about 400 kilos!

It's so spacious here.
Is this the entryway?

Dammit. Let's steal something
on our way home.

Like toilet paper and stuff.

Looking at this makes me feel guilty.

Let's hurry and fake
the landlady's natural death.

One of the most frequent deaths at home
is drowning in the bathtub.

The water temperature is great.

Wait just a little more... Damn it!

Got it off!

So heavy...

Not very natural.

If we tie a rope around her neck
and drop her from here,

it'll look like suicide.

Dokuga, did you write it?

Yeah.

Pretty natural, right?

Hey! We're throwing her down!

Do it.

One, two...

Hey, Dokuga. Who k*lled Risu?

Is it someone we know?

So heavy...

Also, you failed to k*ll Risu.
Is that true?

Yeah, it's true.

Don't talk nonsense.
You could do it just fine.

The problem...

The problem is Risu's magic.

Risu's magic?

Dokuga!

Dokuga!

What the hell is that?!

Dokuga!

I know about this thing.
It's a diet insect.

If you keep them in your stomach,
they absorb whatever you eat.

So it came out
after the landlady died? Well...

This looks pretty natural to me.

What part of it?

Dokuga!

Let's grab what we can and run.
- Keep it together!

I've finally finished my embroidery.

I hope it becomes the handkerchief
of a lovely lady.

Hurry up and move!

Whoa! What wonderful embroidery!

It's so nice that girls can have
this kind of cute underwear.

This is a nameless store
near the entrance to Hell.

CUTE BUTCHER

What kind of store is this?

It's a store that sells meat.

But I don't see the store owner anywhere.

You just can't see him
because you're still a Devil trainee.

Look, you can see his shadow.

He isn't a Devil or a Sorcerer,

and neither good nor evil.

Give me some meat.

What's this meat?

The meat of a certain creature.

Once you eat it,
your body will start turning into a Devil.

Yeah. I'm counting on you.

Asu, you kept a secret from us,
your comrades.

That's something I can't forgive.

I just called Store to come.
Do you understand what that means, Asu?

You're a failure of a Devil, Asu.

Okay, Store. Do it.

Here, Store. Take it.

Asu, you're an idiot.

No, you're not Asu anymore.
Kawajiri the Sorcerer, wasn't it?

See you, Kawajiri.
You can live as you please as a Sorcerer.

My Devil power is fading out.

Nikaido...

EAST ZAGAN
TORQUE

How about it?

Does anyone want some freshly baked bread
loaded with cheese and a creamy stew?

Please give me three!
- Thank you.

You're really eating with your mask on.

So I'm the one paying, Big Bro?

Delicious!
- This is amazing!

How about it?
Does anyone want some creamy stew?

NEW MEAT SHIPMENT ARRIVED!

The night before
I turned Asu back into a Sorcerer.

As I thought,
my own mask calms me down the most.

This is bad! It's already this late.

I need to sleep soon.

Still, I need to hide this mask
in a place that is harder to find.

Hiding it under the drawer
is too obvious and dangerous.

Maybe inside the closet?

What's this? A notebook?
Could it be Nikaido's?

A smoke lock.

Let's open it!

A lock like this
is nothing against my magic!

MY HEART'S DIARY

"My heart's diary."

That b*tch has zero naming sense!

Let's see.

I feel like the power
of the Devil's contract

is about to crush me.

At this rate, I may disappear.

But before that,
I'll write about my magic in this diary.

So even if the contract
controls me completely,

I never use my magic.

DOOR TO THE PAST

I grew up in a small village
deep in the mountains.

It seems that my parents passed away
when I was a baby.

But I was happy.

I had a kind uncle and auntie,

and Kawajiri, who cared for me
just like a real big brother would do.

Every day was fun.

Until Yakumo, my best friend, disappeared.

That's it, I'm too sleepy.

I'll read the rest tomorrow.

I want to hear your opinion
on a new product

that will be sold under my brand.

Its name is the "En-Shaped Mushroom Doll."

It's an edible mushroom pet for my fans.

It's amazing, En!

It reacts to humidity and airflow.

So cute! Give me one.

Their tendency
to parasitize other creatures

still needs some improvement.

What do you think, Nikaido?
Let me hear your opinion.

Let's see. I think it would be better
if they were bigger.

Like the same size as you, En.

Nice opinion, Nikaido! Approved!

Hurray!

Stop it! Someone take it off of me!

By the way, Nikaido.
You're still not ready to use magic?

I hate talking about that.

Nikaido, wait!
I wasn't planning on forcing you.

Nikaido...

That caught me by surprise.

I guess pretending to get mad
and running away won't work anymore.

That made me sweat.

Let's take a bath
and keep reading that diary.

Let's see.

"I was able to first use magic
when I was two or three years old."

You're amazing, Nikaido.

What's this?
- Candy?

We may find out once you're able
to make more and more smoke.

Nikaido will do her best!

Hey!

Kawajiri! Nikaido!

Yakumo!

Yakumo's magic was the power
to fly through the sky.

When she was a baby,

she happened to be rescued
while floating down the river.

Because of that,
she used to say she was a lucky one.

She was a fearless and cheerful girl.

Isn't that a child's corpse?
- Scary!

There must be some hunters nearby.
Let's hurry and go home.

The hunters were a group
that kidnapped Sorcerer kids.

There were many kids who died
because of fights between hunters.

Hey, young man.

Leave the children here and go.
One of mine just died, you know?

It's a hunter!

You as*h*le! Punch!

They disappeared!

Kawajiri was a Sorcerer with magic
that allowed him to go anywhere.

He also had clairvoyance

and could apparently
choose locations freely.

I'm home, Auntie.

Kawajiri. Stop relying on magic
for everything

and walk a little bit more.

He's right.

We just escaped from a hunter.

Woo-hoo! Today we're eating gyoza!

Gyoza were Auntie's specialty.

I wonder what gyoza are.

I'm not really familiar
with the food of commoners.

And then, when I was around four...

What are you two doing?

Welcome home, Kawajiri.
I was training Nikaido just now.

I can break boards now.

Aren't you bleeding?

This is too much, Yakumo.

That's how her fists will get stronger.

What's that?

This is...

I got it the other day
from a Devil who gave me his card.

It seems he made it specially for me.

So cool!

He invited me to become a Devil.

Do your best, Kawajiri.

That's some impressive armor.
You okay in there?

Yeah. It seems living ordinarily
while wearing this is the first training.

Well, then, I'm leaving for work.

There's no point if he doesn't walk.

That day, I looked after the house
by myself for the first time.

Once I finished helping wrap the gyoza,
I suddenly had nothing to do.

I decided to use magic again
after a long time

by trying to produce some smoke.

Maybe my magic power
had increased as I got older,

but the cube was about half my size.

The cube had buttons and levers on it.

And while I tried pressing and pulling
them randomly, nothing really happened.

I decided to practice
in order to master my magic.

I didn't know that would be
the beginning of a frightening event.

Nikaido!
- It's En!

Open the door! It's me!

I came to apologize.
I also brought you presents.

Just when things were getting interesting.

I need to dry my hair.

What?

What the hell?

What?! You mean you really don't know
where the Cross-Eyes' hideout is?

Sorry. I couldn't help it.
I just really wanted to go with you.

But we'll find it right away
if we look for it.

Look for it?

But we don't have any information.

It's gonna get dark soon.

Then let's rest somewhere tonight.

Let's start looking
for the hideout tomorrow.

Are you fine with that, Caiman?

Yeah, sure.

Caiman.

But is there a place we can stay
in such a backwater?

Well, this place's good enough, isn't it?

BERITH HOT SPRINGS

Welcome!

Three customers have arrived!

A married couple and their child?

MAGMA BATH

Won't you open, please, Nikaido?
- What should I do?

Nikaido!
- I suddenly turned back to normal.

Ouch! What?

What's wrong, Nikaido? Are you okay?

Is this the contract from En
that was inside Nikaido's body?

Nikaido!

Nikaido, I'm sorry about earlier.

I forgive you.

Chota! You damn bird!
What do you think you're doing?

There's a reason for this!

What?

Nikaido ran away with that lizard man?

Then the Nikaido that was here recently...

Sorry, that was me.

Turn into mushrooms!

I'm sorry!

It's so noisy inside the mansion.

Anyway, where the hell did Ebisu go?

Just when I got my salary
from the Big Boss.

It's not much, though.

Well, she isn't an official member
of the family anyway.

Somehow she ended up staying here.

Now may be a good time to kick her out.

Ebisu?

Where is she going?

And with all that luggage.

Could it be that she's planning to leave?

Let her leave if she wants to.
That cold-hearted jerk.

Ebisu!

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Home? Did you get your memories back?

THE END

What we learned in Episode 4.

Store sells a certain creature's meat.

Natsuki is the one who pays.

En found out many things.

What we'll learn in Episode 5
is still hidden in chaos.

This is Dorohedoro.
