02x24 - Towa ni tsuzuku mirai

[bunniefuu]

You did well to prevent the coming
of the Degenerate Age.

SPIRIT OF THE TREE OF AGES

I knew that you and your daughters
would be strong enough to achieve this.

I am grateful to you, Sesshomaru.

-Ready?
-Ready?

-Heave-h*!
-Heave-h*!

Good grief.

It seems like it's finally over.

HALF-DEMON GIRL – TOWA HIGURASHI

I see.

Riku is dead, huh?

Yeah.

"A Never-Ending Future."

HIGURASHI SHRINE AMULET

TOWA'S ADOPTIVE MOTHER – MOE HIGURASHI

Moe...

I made some coffee. Care to take a break?

Sure. I think I will!

Sis...

Oh, my. She fell asleep?

She worked so hard on the picture
she was drawing

that she wore herself out.

Oh? Let's have a look.

She drew them quite well!

That said...

since Mei has been away from Towa,
she's become a lot more self-assured.

She says she wants to become
as cool as her big sister.

I sure hope Setsuna is
having fun playing her violin

in the other world.

I wonder if Moroha is living
with Kagome and Inuyasha.

I suppose the fact
that we're all living in peace

is proof that they
did well for themselves.

I'm sure the three of them
are having a great time together.

Jeez, that's so dangerous!

ICE DEMON BEAST – UN'EI

Dad, it's headed your way!

Okay! Leave this to me!

I'll take it down in a single stroke!

Tsk!

Ha! This is nothing!

Take this!

Wind Scar!

Tsk! It blocked it!

Against ice, you need flames!

Crimson Dragon Wave!

Dad!

Adamant Barrage!

Purifying Arrow!

We did it!

We got the Ice Sword of Un'ei!

The both of them are in perfect sync.

What? You're in debt, Moroha?

Yeah, well, it's a long story.

How can we repay it?

Well, by getting
the heads of demons or treasures.

Once I slay them,

I get Jyubei the Corpse Dealer
to buy them off of me. Little-

How much do you owe?

Huh? Uh...

a-about one ryou, I think?

-Understood!
-Huh?

-Inuyasha!
-Huh?

Go slay some demons!

I cannot allow our beloved daughter
to remain in debt!

S-S-Sure thing!

Moroha, I'm so sorry.

Oh, man!

That b*stard sure was cold!

-Dad...
-Huh?

Thank you for defeating him with me!

Taking down small fry is a piece of cake.

It's been a while, Lord Inuyasha!

Why, if it isn't Old Myoga!

You're the same as always,
aren't you, Lord Inuyasha?

Whoa!

You didn't show your face at all

while we were fighting Kirinmaru,
Grandpa Myoga.

A wise man keeps away from danger!

That aside, it's quite nice to taste
Lord Inuyasha's blood after so long!

Though it's nowhere as delicious
as yours, Lady Moroha!

What did you say?

Save me!

Jeez...

Dad!

Your hand is all chapped...

I'll warm it up for you.

Th-This'll heal up in no time!

Don't be so modest, Dad.

O-Okay.

See you later, Mom and Dad!

-Okay!
-Take care!

I'll be going now!

Mr. Jyubei, as you requested,

I got the Ice Sword of Un'ei!

TAKECHIYO CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI Whoa!

I'm surprised you were able
to get it by yourself!

Uh, my dad helped me out a bit.

Huh? What did you say?

My dad helped me out!

You got a problem with that?

Oh, I see.

You've got some nice parents,
don't you, Moroha?

All right!

I'll take that Ice Sword for one ryou.

You debt has been fully paid.

All right!

Thanks for everything, Mr. Jyubei!

You did well, Moroha.

Well done, Moroha.

Excuse me.

Do you accept requests
to slay demons here?

You're...

Here you go!

What's this?

I made something for the both of you

using fabric I received from
Lord Sesshomaru.

Wow, it's so pretty!

But it looks expensive.

Can we really wear such fine clothing?

The two of you have worked very hard.

I'm sure this is your father's way
of rewarding you.

Was Sesshomaru...

Do you think Father was worried about us?

The Tenseiga can bring someone
back to life only once.

Setsuna won't have a second chance.

If you want to bring that up,
your soul died once before, Towa.

It feels like if Father
had helped us more,

we wouldn't have had
to go through any of that.

The truth is...

I've also experienced death.

-What?
-What?

In this era, there are many
nasty things, aren't there?

And things you can't do anything about.

Since you're both half-demons,

I'm sure that you
will have to face more hardships.

Also, you'll be attacked
by strange demons...

just for being Sesshomaru's daughters.

We'll quickly slay anyone who does that!

That's right!

And besides, I've got
Setsuna and Moroha with me!

Towa... Setsuna...

You've both become quite strong,
haven't you?

I'm sure that your father
is relieved to know that.

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

That's amazing!

How's that even possible?

That was truly marvelous!

Settle down. Settle down.

Um, ahem!

Next is an example of transformation!

Now, the fundamentals
of doing a transformation...

Wow, it sure is tough being a teacher!

I never would have
expected Shippo to become a teacher!

How wonderful! That's so cool!

Ack! Kin-Gyo!

-Shippo hasbecome
-What kind of reaction

-quite respectable, eh?
-was that?

-Let go!
-Hisui should learn

-from his example.
-Not gonna happen!

-So true.
-Gyokuto, it's my turn!

-A 19th-rank fox demon.
-What do you think you're doing?

I'm sure even Inuyasha would be surprised.

They're just like their parents!

Sango, Miroku, do something about them!

We'll get Lady Kagome

-to comfort him later on.
-You won't get away!

Let me hold him!

-Good idea.
-Don't touch me!

Miroku! Sango!

S-Save me!

-All right, all right!
-Shippo! Shippo!

CORPSE DEALER

Since there are no city lights,
the stars sure are beautiful.

City lights?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I agree.

Moroha sure is late.

That's true.

Hey, Setsuna.

I wonder what Mother meant
by what she said earlier.

I don't understand what Father
is thinking at all.

A rite of courage and cowardice.

A rite of... courage and cowardice?

We half-demons have many enemies.

So perhaps he was testing us...

to see if we half-demons
could survive on our own.

Because half-demons are weak?

Why are you talking about
such depressing stuff?

You're late, Moroha!

Sorry, sorry.

I was discussing
a money-making opportunity.

It must be nice to have it so simple.

Huh?

Also, unlike our father,

Mr. Inuyasha seems
pretty easy to understand.

Listen, you.

You guys are thinking about this too hard!

And it's not just that "rite of whatever"
you were talking about.

You're definitely overthinking things!

You think so?

It's not that complicated!

Your dad put you two
through this extreme training

so you wouldn't lose to any bully!

But because of that,
you ended up hating him a bit.

Huh? Are you saying
that he did it out of parental love?

Don't you think
that's a little convoluted?

It was beyond
what you would call training!

He was far too unforgiving!

That's right.

And if we end up dying once more...

Well, I don't know the exact details...

but I suspect that's how much
he believed in you guys!

I'm sure that your father
is relieved to know that.

Huh?

What? Did I say something wrong?

S-Sorry! I was out of line.

Thank you, Moroha.

Thank you for fighting alongside us!

What's this all about?

Thank you, Moroha!

You are a valuable friend.

A friend...

I get it already! Let go of me!

She's bashful. How cute.

No, I'm not!

Hey, you two...

interested in a chance to make some money?

CORPSE DEALER

Hey, that man...

Right? Isn't this interesting?

You're the client? What's your name?

My name is Kai.

It's a request to slay demons!

You'll have to travel quite a ways
by boat to do this job.

Isn't that right, Sir Kai?

Merchants have been troubled by a monster

that has appeared in the seas of the west.

I heard that there were
some skilled slayers in the east,

so I came to seek their help.

That sounds terrible.

Please tell us more.

If we're going far from home,
we should tell our mothers.

We're going on ahead.

We're counting on you to get the details!

Why don't we see them home today,
Takechiyo?

Sure thing!

Now then, the reason why
I'm asking you to do this job is-

Oops. I'll have to apologize
to Mr. Jyubei later.

L-Lady Towa, what are you doing?

Did you think you could fool me, Riku?

You figured it out, huh?

It was obvious from your smell.

Oh. Sorry about that.

We parted in such a tragic way.

I was so embarrassed.

And as you can see, I didn't actually die.

Lady Towa?

Thank goodness.

I'm so thankful you're still alive, Riku!

Thank you very much.

I'm really glad
I was able to see you again.

Ow, ow, ow.

You're really strong, aren't you, Setsuna?

You still have a long way to go, Hisui.

What? I'll surpass you soon enough!

I want another sparring match tomorrow.

Sorry.

I got a request to slay demons.

I'll be departing to the west after this.

What? For how long?

Who knows?

I figure I'd do a bit of traveling
as part of my training.

I need to become even stronger.

You intend to become even stronger?

I guess I won't be seeing you for a while.

Oh, that's right.

Before I forget,

Princess Aiya asked me
to deliver a letter to you.

She wants you to visit her tomorrow.

It seems she has a request.

Another one? Why is she always asking me?

You're pretty dense, aren't you?

I'm sure it's a love letter.

You might be able to become a lord.

Wha- No! It's you that I-

-Oh, no!
-Huh?

I need to get prepared!

See you later, Hisui!

Jeez. Who's really the dense one?

She's like an impenetrable castle.

U-U-U-U-Uncle?

When did you get here?

Setsuna is Lord Sesshomaru's
daughter, after all,

so she's quite formidable!

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Uncle, I want to get stronger
by the time Setsuna comes back!

I like your spirit!

Anyway, I've accepted a job
from Mr. Jyubei,

so I'll be heading
to Iyo Province in the west.

In Shikoku, huh?

You repaid your debt, didn't you?

You're going to continue slaying demons?

Well, that's true,

but I figured I would take
this opportunity to get even stronger.

A training expedition, huh?

Will Towa and Setsuna be going with you?

Yeah!

The three of us together are invincible!

Well, do your best out there, Moroha.

H-Hey...

do you mind if I give you... a hug?

-Huh?
-Huh?

Oh, jeez!

Moroha!

I'll be going now, Mom and Dad!

That Riku...

did he forget we're dog demons?

I guess he had a lot on his mind.

How is he still alive, anyway?

According to Riku...

I'm... alive.

Miss Rion's and
Lord Kirinmaru's Kon and Haku...

Apparently that's why.

How is that possible?

I don't know what to tell you.

Towa!

Setsuna!

It's Mother.

JAKEN SESSHOMARU

And Father's with her.

See you later!

Take care!

We're going now!

When we come back, we'd like
to hear more from you, Father.

-Let's go, Rin.
-Yes.

Lord Sesshomaru acting cheerful!

You're the same as always, Master Jaken.

L-Lord Sesshomaru, wait for me!

SEVERAL DAYS LATER
-IYO PROVINCE –

There's so many of them!

When did they multiply this much?

Wow!

Heavenly Arrow Barrage!

Are you both all right?

You saved us.

Did you slay them all?

Not yet.

I don't see their boss, the largest one.

There you are!

Huh?

I can smell it!

There's human blood mixed in,
but this smell...

it's that Sesshomaru!

Curses.

You're nothing but half-demons!

Could it be that you're...

That's right.

We're Sesshomaru's daughters.

We're Towa and Setsuna.
