"Suzu..." "Why this unease?" "I just killed a demon, that was all, same as I used to." "So why...?" "It won't be long now, not long at all." "The real demon-eater will reawaken." "To free Haruka's memories, you've been possessing monsters with evil spirits to make demons." "We initially thought to use humans." "So many of them are already consumed by earthly desires, yet none of them possess the spiritual power necessary to harbor an evil spirit." "Such a pity, isn't it?" "Raiko Minamoto." "A Snowy Landscape of Glass" "If you listen closely, you should be able to hear" "The faint voice calling out to you" "Yes, deep within the thick woods of three thousand worlds" "Someone is screaming out to pry open the night" "Secret world, let's go to help beyond the veil" "Close your eyes and fly towards an invisible world" "Of the past, of the future" "Secret world, secret world" "Muu-chan!" "Muu-chan!" "It's so cold." "Where could Muu-chan have run off to so early in the morning?" "Demon-eater?" "Wait just a little longer, OK?" "I'll have it for you in a minute." "It's been three days since he left, huh?" "I wonder where Haruka could have gone." "I hope he's taking care of himself, wherever he is." "It's not like monsters catch colds or anything, so I think he'll be OK." "Still, you can't help but worry about what he's doing." "Ever since Haruka left, Kantaro hasn't been eating well." "He's just thrown himself into his work." "Oh, Muu-chan." "How are ya?" "Whatcha think, Reiko?" "Not a bad job, huh?" ""The Water Imp's Ladle - Cypress or Cedar?"" "It's actually a pretty interesting subject." "Yes, it certainly is interesting, but..." "But?" "Well, the wording seems a little..." "Something wrong?" "I don't mean to be rude, but this piece has a substantial amount of grammatical errors, misspelled and missing words..." "Really?" "OK, now, let's see." "Oh, I see what you're saying." "Yeah, this is strange." "Sorry." "Oh, well." "I hadn't even noticed." "I'll make the corrections right away." "Where's my fountain pen?" "Oh, man." "I could've sworn it was right here." "That's odd." "Hello." " Right hand." " Right hand?" "Is something wrong with mine?" "Oh, I see." "What do you know?" "Case closed." "So it was right in front of me all along." "You seem a bit worn out, Mr. Ichinomiya." "Why not take a little break?" "Yoko told me this is the third day in a row that you've barely slept." "It's OK, Reiko." "It's OK." "I'm perfectly fine, so there's no need for you to worry." "It doesn't look like Haruka's coming back, does it?" "I understand how you feel, but if you just take a little break..." "How could you understand?" "Sorry about that." "But I'm really all right." "Please don't trouble yourself, OK?" "Wait." "Where are you going?" "I'm just gonna clean up a bit." "You will come back, won't you, Haruka?" "Come on, stay still." "There we go." "Wow." "That's great." "What's this, a young ladies' gossip session?" "Kantaro!" "Oh, it's a weasel." " Muu-chan brought it here in her mouth." " It hurt its leg." "Kantaro!" "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "That's too bad." "I guess it just doesn't like me, huh?" "Well, anyway..." "Hey, wait a sec." "Oh, no!" "So, what is that thing you keep looking at?" "Some kind of vial?" "I don't know." "You really enjoy looking at it, don't you?" "It glitters." "When you hold it in the light, it sparkles." "My memories are returning." "So far just a few, but..." "Is that right?" "That's good to hear." "I guess." "But aren't you happy about it?" "Happy?" "I guess I'm happy." "I should be, right?" "Yeah." "Well, you're the only one who can really tell how you feel." "So what is it that's bothering you?" " Nothing." " Really?" "Nothing, huh?" "Where are you going now?" "I don't know." "Demon-eater." "Just as I thought." "It's getting in the way of the demon-eater's reawakening." "What would you like to do?" "Depends." "Can I count on your help?" "If necessary." "No." "Only spider webs." " No sign?" " None." "It might be hiding somewhere, but who knows?" "That worries me." "Hey!" "I saw your weasel over here!" " Where is it?" " Right here." " Over here?" " Yeah, behind this chest." " You're right." " It gathered a bunch of candy." "It's probably trying to build a nest there." "That makes sense." "Yeah, but now that its wound has been taken care of, we should go ahead and return this wildlife to the wild." "Muu-chan, if you would." "Take care now, little weasel." "Yoko, I think I'm gonna call it a day." "It looks like it might rain, too." "Oh." "You're right." "Let's walk together part of the way." "Wildlife to the wild." "Bye-bye!" "See ya." "Later, Muu-chan." "Bye, Suzu." "Ah, so you ran into her again." "That foreigner." "Hasumi?" "Oh, Rosalie!" "Hey there." "Hello." "She always has such a strange manner about her." "And that's not the half of it." "So what the heck do you want?" "What the heck do I want?" "How typically rude of you, Ichinomiya." "If I didn't want something, I wouldn't have come to this dirty little hovel now, would I?" "And you're calling me rude?" " Is something wrong?" " I saw him." "Who's "him"?" "Who was it?" "You said that he'd gone missing, yes?" "You mean you saw Haruka?" "That's the person you saw?" "Where at?" "You remember that old exhibition house, don't you?" "He was alone out there." "What's the big idea?" "Hey, watch it, you!" "Rosalie, what do you think you're doing?" "I know I didn't raise you to behave this way." "Haruka." "Haruka." "Haruka!" "He's not here." "We were too late." "Haruka!" "Kantaro, wait up!" "Haruka..." "You're suffering, aren't you?" "And it's because of that monster you murdered and because the instincts you'd lost are now starting to awaken." "But I bear the blame, because I left you as you were when you had been sealed, incomplete, stripped of things that define you - all your memories and all of your true powers." "Kantaro." "I'm sorry I put you through so much." "Well, will you give it back?" "The true power of the demon-eating goblin." "Doji Ibaragi!" "It was you?" "Too bad, Kantaro Ichinomiya." "Minamoto." "Yes, you are the one to blame for this." "Because of you, I can't awaken the demon-eating goblin." "Haruka." "That pathetic name is the obstacle in my way." "I'm asking you to remove it." "Get rid of the name "Haruka" now." "Break the pact." "His confusion will vanish, and the full power and memories of the demon-eating goblin will then be revived." "We desire his return to his original form, the most powerful of monsters - the demon-eating goblin." "Kantaro Ichinomiya now give us what we desire!" "I refuse." "Wrong answer." "Try again." "Look, I don't care what happens to me, but I will not break our pact!" "I see." "However..." "What if you, perchance, were not the one that something were to happen to?" "What do you mean?" "Kantaro!" "That's Yoko." "Kantaro!" "Kantaro!" "Yoko, no!" "Damn it, stay back!" "Don't come any closer!" "Om!" " Kantaro!" " Hey, where are you?" "Yoko, talk to me!" " Damn!" " Help me, Kantaro!" "Yoko?" "What the hell have you done to her?" "!" "Kantaro!" "Yoko, hang on!" "Kantaro." "Please help me!" "No!" "Let go!" "Let go of me!" "The realm of the dead lies beneath her." "Once she enters, it's all over." "She'll never be able to return to this world." "No!" "Kantaro, help me!" "Naumaku Sanmanda Bazaradan Kan!" "No spell can penetrate that wall." "Om Makeishibaraya Sowaka!" "You don't know when to quit, do you?" "Be a good boy and give in." "No!" "Help me!" "Kantaro!" "Minamoto!" "If you want it to stop, then break the pact immediately." "Come on." "Come on." "You kept it, didn't you?" " Suzu?" " I thought you'd probably come here." "So you've you been waiting here?" "It..." "It might have been better if I'd never been freed." "Why do you think that, Haruka?" "I don't know." "Well, I'm really glad you did get released because, you see, that way, I-I got a chance to meet you, Haruka." "I'm sure Yoko feels the same way, too." "And Kantaro." "Let's go back." "They're all waiting for you." "You do know that, don't you?" "I can't do that." "Why not?" "Suzu, I'm not the kind of person you seem to think I am." "No." "You're a good person, Haruka." "No, I'm not." "You yourself witnessed me murder that monster." "That's the kind of person I am." "Then-Then tell me this." "Why did you hold on to that vial?" "You lost control of yourself for a moment." "That's why you did what you did." "Listen to me, Haruka." "I know the real you." "Kind of awkward, but you're wonderful." "I am the demon-eating goblin!" "I think nothing of killing, human or monster!" "I have no friends!" "That's who I am." "That's the real me!" "Liar." "Playtime is over now." "Haruka!" "Kantaro." " Yoko!" " Haruka!" "Now then..." "Break your pact with the demon-eating goblin." "Do it, Kantaro Ichinomiya!" "Help me, please!" "Want her to vanish from this world forever?" "Yoko's in danger." "Haruka, please, you gotta go help her!" "Hurry!" "Haruka!" "Haruka..." "I am..." "Haruka..." "I am..." "I am!" "In the town at night" "I found myself calling out to you" "Though we're far apart" "I won't fall prey to loneliness" "When we feel there's someone on our side" "We all change" "Becoming stronger, stronger, stronger" "The unseen power invites hope" "The unseen power is the courage you gave me" "What will Kantaro's next case be?" "Kantaro is caught squarely in Raiko Minamoto's trap!" "Yoko will be saved if Kantaro breaks his pact with Haruka." "But he just can't do that!" "Raiko launches a vicious attack against an anguished Kantaro!" "His words are like knives piercing Kantaro's chest!" "But just then, when his strength is most in question, the black goblin descends!" "Next time on Tactics, "A Long-Lost Heart.""
