01x11 - Hito kui-numa no noroi

[bunniefuu]

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 w*r.

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!

DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA

HALF-DEMON GIRL – TOWA HIGURASHI

I wonder what that was.

That sense of unity I felt

It felt like we understood each other

without having to say a single word.

Whoa, hey!

I-Is this burning?!

How long am I supposed to

Geez, what are you doing?

This thing we brought from your world,

what was it called again?

Pancakes.

That's the one.

Oh, looks like it's frying up nicely.

But man, this really is useful!

You can cook wherever, whenever you want.

Gotta check it for poison first!

Hey, are you all right?

I need something to drink! Right now!

Th-There!

W-Water!

Wait, is she seriously

going to drink that pond water?

-Looks like it.

-Wait, get back here!

Water, water!

Water, water!

If you drink that muddy water,

you're going to get a stomachache.

B-But Oh, I'm not choking anymore.

Geez.

What's wrong?

Just now! The pond swallowed up the bird.

The pond swallowed the bird?

Yeah!

A bird came zooming by,

and the water went splash

and the bird got gobbled up!

You're so noisy as usual. I'm leaving.

The Demon Slayer's place, right?

I'll go with you.

H-Hey!

Moroha, you're heading

to Mr. Jyubei's, right?

Good luck with that, okay?

Geez. But that was really weird.

I swear the pond just

"Curse of the Man-Eating Pond"

A "Man-Eating Pond'?

Yes. It's on the other side of that hill,

and a little hidden.

Hey, that's where we were earlier

According to the villagers,

the pond used to be so beautiful that

it sparkled and shone like a mirror.

But something started living in it,

and it started getting murky.

You're saying that "something"

is the Man-Eating Pond's real identity?

Yes.

It's just that no one alive has ever

seen what it is.

And that's because

all eye-witnesses have been eaten.

Whatever it is, it eats anything

that comes near the pond.

Humans, beasts, and birds.

Birds

Setsuna.

Looks like she wasn't just fooling around.

So all we have to do is slay it, right?

Hey, wait for me.

So it's a mysterious "something"

living in the pond.

I wonder what it is.

What is it, Setsuna?

Hold this for me.

What? Hey.

-Why're you in such a hurry?

-Let go of me!

No Brother, please don't go!

Let go of me, Chiyo!

I'm going to avenge Ma and Pa!

Stop it!

I don't want you to disappear, too!

Let me go. I said, let me go!

Chiyo

I'm sorry!

Don't go over there. It's dangerous.

Who are you! Let me go!

Come on, let me go!

I need to go there!

Are you okay?

Oh, you're hurt.

Here, I'll carry you.

Come on, let's tend your wounds

at your home.

O-Okay.

There we go. That's okay, right, Setsuna?

Yes. You're coming, too.

So that's what happened.

You lost your mom and dad to that pond.

Yeah.

I understand what happened,

but don't be so reckless anymore.

-But

-No "buts."

Listen. Older brothers can never let go

of their little sister's hand, okay?

Because it'll be too late

if you regret it later.

I-I'm sorry.

Geez, why am I stuck

doing something like this?

Itchy.

Lady Moroha.

There you are again, Grandpa Myoga.

It feels really nice being beside you

that I can't help it, Lady Moroha.

By the way, why are you

being relegated to cleaning?

Hey, you've missed a spot over here.

I already cleaned that area.

Oh really now?

Look at that, it's still so grimy though.

And here, and here, and even here, too.

I don't want to clean anymore!

I'm Moroha the Demon k*ller!

Oh yeah? Then why haven't you brought

in any heads lately?

Well, you know, things happen

If you can't pay back the advance payment

that Master Jyubei lent you,

the least you could do is help clean.

All right already!

Geez.

Okay, let's see that wound.

-Ouch.

-Sorry, did that sting?

A little. But I'm okay.

You're strong, Chiyo. Then

You get a heart-shaped one.

What is that?

Well, you see

Hey, don't paste anything weird on Chiyo.

Don't worry.

This is an adhesive bandage.

It's like a plaster, but better.

The sun is already setting,

so why don't you two spend the night here?

Yeah, let's do that!

Brother, you tell them, too.

Well, it doesn't really matter to me.

Please? Can you please stay the night?

-What do you think, Setsuna?

-Please, please?

Don't ask me.

Oh, my.

Grandma, another bowl!

Another bowl!

Yes, yes.

We're going to end up

spending the night, huh?

And they even fed us a meal.

This house is close to the pond.

It's an ideal spot to be for our job.

About that pond, it's been quite muddy

ever since I was a child.

I heard that pond used to be

as clear as a mirror.

That's right.

A sage purified those muddy waters

by using medicinal herbs.

A sage?

With medicinal herbs

That sage planted

medicinal herbs around the pond

so that they could be used

if the pond became murky again.

There should be a nice wonderful

patch of medicinal herbs by now

But because of the Venom Serpent,

we can't go near it anymore.

"Venom Serpent"?

It's a huge snake-like demon

that's poisonous.

Have you two seen it before?

Yeah.

Hey Miss, what's that?

-Setsuna.

-It's a musical instrument.

What a funny shape.

Is it like a biwa lute?

Our Pa was good at playing the biwa, too.

-He always played it for us.

-I see.

This is called a violin.

"Bio-lin"?

Can you play for us?

I want to hear it, too.

I'm not really good at it, but

If you could be so kind,

please play a song for these children.

What's wrong, you two?

Their father was

He played the biwa for us by that pond.

That's when he got swallowed up.

There, there.

Setsuna.

Sorry, Setsuna.

I accidentally fell asleep by myself.

It's fine. Don't worry about it.

Nights are probably long

when you can't sleep, huh?

I'll definitely catch

the Dream Butterfly, so

It's always been like this

for as long as I could remember.

So I don't find it a hardship.

If I stay here like this,

the sun will eventually rise.

Setsuna.

Anyway, I've been thinking about

what Moroha said.

Why did Moroha say that

the pond swallowed the bird up?

You're right, if you saw

something getting eaten,

you'd have mentioned what did the eating,

like a snake or some other organism.

It's fine.

Go to sleep. Come morning,

it'll be time to slay the Venom Serpent.

Then I'll sleep here.

Good night.

Ouch!

Don't come near me like you know me.

Geez.

Those two didn't come home last night,

so where the hell are they?

Towa! Setsuna!

Oh, there they are.

Hey, you two!

Moroha.

Geez, where've you been?

You didn't come home last night,

so I got worried and looked for you.

Oh, a couple kids from the village

let us stay at their home.

Kids from the village?

There's no time to explain.

A demon called the Venom Serpent

is living in this pond.

Venom Serpent?

So the thing I saw yesterday was

Yeah, most likely.

We're going to go slay it.

What? Then I'll help you.

All right, time to get that bounty.

I never want to clean rooms ever again.

Hey, Venom Serpent! Come on out!

I'll send you to the afterlife

with my Kurikaramaru!

Don't be so brash!

Here it comes.

There you are, Venom Serpent.

Crimson Dragon Wave!

Damn, this stings.

Could this be demon venom?

Moroha, watch out!

Moroha!

Don't get distracted.

So this is the Venom Serpent?

Are you the one who

tried to hurt this pond?

It can talk?

Setsuna, be careful!

Scourge of Swallows!

You annoying little girls!

-Are you okay, Setsuna?

-Y-Yeah.

-Lady Moroha, are you all right?

-Itchy!

I'm still alive somehow

Huh? The itchiness went away.

It's probably thanks to this herb.

Herb?

Setsuna, are you okay?

Towa, why isn't the venom

affecting you at all?

You're right. I have no clue.

If that's the case, leave this to me.

Venom Serpent, I'm your opponent!

It's like the pond is alive

The pond is protecting the Venom Serpent!

The Venom Serpent

is not the only one living here.

The pond itself is a demon, too.

Setsuna, look.

What is that?

So many people drowned in this pond.

NESTING WATER DEMON – DRIFTING POND

I am Drifting Pond.

I drift from pond to pond,

consume it, and become the pond itself.

Drifting Pond, huh?

That's the one I saw yesterday.

Venom Serpent and Drifting Pond.

This will be a tough battle.

I'll help, too.

Lady Moroha,

you do not have venom resistance.

Even if you went to help,

you would only cause them trouble!

Damn it.

How dare you endanger

the resident of this pond! Die!

That's nothing!

How's that?

Towa, what's wrong?

I don't know. My body suddenly

Could the demon venom have soaked

into the water? However

This time, it's only affecting Towa.

What's going on?

I see. It looks like the two of them

have different types of venom resistance.

What do you mean?

Apparently, Lady Towa

has resistance to poison mist,

while Lady Setsuna

has resistance to venom.

As expected from

Lord Sesshomaru's daughters.

Now they just need

to properly utilize their resistances.

-Can you move, Towa?

-Yeah, somewhat.

You little girls, I will not forgive you.

Drifting Pond and Venom Serpent.

Both at the same time. This'll be tough.

It'll be okay.

There's two of us!

Is that A biwa?

A sage purified those muddy waters

by using medicinal herbs.

That's right!

The patch of medicinal herbs.

What is it, Setsuna?

-Setsuna.

-Towa, I'll deal with Drifting Pond.

-I'm leaving the Venom Serpent to you.

-You got it.

You won't escape!

Lady Setsuna is heading this way.

You're right. What's going on?

You better dodge this, Moroha.

Cyclone Burst!

This is nothing!

If these are the sage's medicinal herbs,

then it should purify you,

since you are sullying the pond.

Hey, the water's clearing up!

D-Drifting Pond

Towa! I'm leaving the rest to you!

I know!

Poison mist won't work on me!

Drifting Pond

You two are amazing.

You got both of them at the same time.

-Yay!

-Yeah!

-Yay!

-Y

What? You're not going to?

You're annoying.

I'm hurt

Wow, look at that.

This pond is so pretty and clear.

-Yep.

-Yeah.

Miss!

Oh, Chiyo and Hikomaru.

Here, you forgot this.

Thank you.

So pretty!

Right? I can definitely drink

this water now.

Geez, stop it already, Moroha.

You guys all defeated that thing, right?

Thank you.

There's no need for thanks.

This may not replace the biwa, but

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

Some mere half-demons

have the Rainbow Pearl?

I see, so you think that I, Nikosen,

being both demon and human,

am best suited to take care of them.

See to it that you defeat them.

In a battle against a demon

that withered a mountain,

I end up holding us all back.

What's wrong with you today, Towa?

I don't sense any demon energy from you.

It's like you're a human or something!

Next time on

Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon:

"Night of the New Moon

and the Black-haired Towa"

I'm really sorry

for troubling everyone like this.
