Asumu
Please sit in a well-lit room, at a comfortable distance, when watching.
Hibiki is a man who transforms into an Oni and saves people.
Since meeting him, something within me, Adachi Asumu, has begun to change.
One day, Hibiki was worried about me, so he paid me a visit.
I vowed once again to train myself.
I'm going to do my best in high school.

Targeted Town
Amami.
Morning.
So, you don't have to go there today?
Right.
I see! That's good.
I thought I should tell you we have a kanji test today.
Really?
Yeah, so I'll go to the library and copy my notes for you.
Hitomi!
What's wrong?
No, nothing.
What're you spacing out for?
Today's kanji test looks super hard!
I thought about studying yesterday, but I forgot my textbook...
Scheme
Okay! Good work.
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
Completely okay. I'm fine.
But I guess this is a failure.
I tried increasing the refinement of the Oni Stone...
but I guess I overdid it.
Ah, but y'know...
the flame came out easier than before.
The flame came out easier, huh?
I guess this is next.
Y'know, Midori, you really do come up with one thing after another.
Well, we can't lose against them, y'know.
Yeah... It's true they have been getting stronger lately.
What was that one? The Deranged Douji?
Ever since he appeared, the Warrior-types seem to have disappeared.
Yeah.
Guess the experimenter got nervous, and is acting more carefully now.
I wonder...
I bet a new experiment is coming up.
Hopefully he'll just stay low.
He'll just come back from behind.
Don't say things that can come true like that.
Sorry.
Alright! Let's try the next one!
I know it's been a while since you've had a day off, so thank you for accompanying me.
Well, it's the same for you too.
I didn't know a place like this existed.
It's pretty cheap, but fashionable too.
This is good, right?
Should I get this one?
Or this one?
How's it going?
Ah... I think I like them all.
As expected from Kasumi.
Thank you very much.
It's no problem.
I'm glad you like them, but...
But they all seem good...
I can't decide...
Hey... isn't this one nice?
Ah! This one is good...
Right? This is it!
But how about something else instead?
Then how about this one?
Well?
Which one?
Well...
Which one...?
Umm...
Kasumi, which one do you like?
C'mon, Ibuki.
It's your own clothes...
Ah! I'm sorry! Do you mind if we keep looking, then?
Um, what are you doing on your next day off, Kasumi?
How strange...
It should be around here...
Excuse me...
But he’s hungry...
You'll need to be his feed.
Feed
Was it tasty?
Todayama is...
Ah! No, chief.
For the time being, it's Todoroki.
Oh, sorry.
Todoroki...
Yes!
You don't mind getting Zanki's vehicle, weapon, disk animals, and equipment, right?
Right.
You sure are lucky.
Right.
You just became an Oni, and you already have your own car.
Oh... well, I have a lot of affection for that car.
Affection, eh?
Yes.
You know...
You really like Zanki, don't you?
Ah... I do.
Ah! But! I like him, but not in that way.
Ah... right...
I just meant, Zanki was lucky...
I will work hard to not besmirch my master's name.
I hope you keep up that pep.
Use your youthful power and work hard!
Okay!
So...
Yes?
This is all set for now.
So...
About my Hinaka...
Ah... no... that...
Todoroki, Todo-jokey?
It's Todoroki...
Ah, please excuse me.
Umm... miss, you wanted rice dumpling anmitsu and...
you wanted custard with red bean jam.
I'll bring you replacement drinks immediately.
Thank you for your understanding. Excuse me!
Hey.
Yes! Yes... yes...
Yes?
Is the cream mitsumame not ready yet?
Ah... I'll bring it soon.
Excuse me.
Part Time Help Wanted
Welcome.
Mochida.
Ah... Amami.
About Adachi...
I'm absent from school a lot...
Yeah.
Adachi is copying his notes for me.
I see...
It seems Hibiki... asked Adachi to do that.
Hibiki did?
Yes.
Really?
Hibiki did?
So that's how it is?
Yes. It's a big help.
Oh, I see! I was wondering.
Let's go.
Well, if I can help somehow, I'd be glad to.
Thank you.
- Adachi. - Adachi.
Thank you very much.
I think you choosing was for the best, Kasumi.
Ibuki, you really are the same as always.
Really?
Like when we used to play in Yoshino...
It seems like if you can't decide something, you have me do it.
Ah... that might be true.
But, like today...
Having you decide makes it more certain.
By relying on you, I feel at ease.
Hey... I'm not going to be your mover too.
Oh sorry... It's just... how should I put this...
Your clarity is great.
"Great"?
No... I think it's really great.
What's wrong?
It's a Douji and Hime.
They're here!
Why are they in the city?
Good question. For now, let's search for them.
Here?
That's why we have this.
I'm counting on you.
Yes. I'm sure it was a Douji and Hime.
Really?
It depends on the disk animals' data, but...
for now, Ibuki, you don't mind taking care of this, right?
Right.
If something happens, I'll consider sending backup.
You know, Todoroki was just here.
Ah... really?
Yeah, but he went to the hospital to get a physical...
for his new Oni application.
I see...
I suppose I should send the Special Mobile Attack Unit in.
I'll call again.
Okay. Thank you.
Goodbye.
What'd he say?
He said he'd investigate it.
But... in a city...
I have no experience with this.
Me either.
Perhaps this is a type that's raised around a lot of people?
Like in a large village or...
a migrating type?
Next is the baseball club's rally, right?
Yeah.
Good luck.
Is cheerleading difficult?
- A bit. - Coming in.
Take your seats.
Uh...
Amami had to leave early.
Akira, a Douji and Hime were seen in Kameido just now.
We're in pursuit using the disks we have,
but can you bring Reppu and the disks from home?
Looks like we have to wait for Akira.
No, if the disks find something, we should go right away.
Even without a weapon, I'd like to stop them.
Akira is working hard too.
Kasumi.
Next time you're off on a weekend,
could you keep Akira company?
I want Akira to be as fashionably dressed as you, too.
Okay! Leave it to me.
Then, if possible, can I come too?!
Hey...
Looks like they've already been found.
Let's go.
Orienteering? Amami is into that?
Yeah... seems she's a really good athlete...
Like she goes to international matches...
Also...
They're having a friendly match... at any rate, she seems busy.
That's amazing! Guess we have to work harder too.
What's up with you?
Hungry again?
Wait a little longer.
She said wait.
Got it. Then we'll head right over.
Something showed up?
Well... Ibuki said he saw a Douji and Hime in the city.
Eh?! In the city?!
Maybe it's another experiment?
I wonder...
It's because you said something weird earlier. Now it's coming true.
Hey... what's that mean?
Are you saying it's my fault?
Yeah! They say the mouth is the source of all calamities.
That's something different! Midori!
Around here?
Looks like it.
Can you get the duplicate?
Yeah.
How is it?
When was the last time this was done?
It's been about a week, I think.
Umm... excuse me.
I'm terribly sorry to bother you.
It seems like my bike isn't working right...
Could you please take a look at it?
Ah, okay.
Really?
Aki, you know about these, right?
Yup.
Kinda.
Thank you! You're a big help!
Ah, it's over here.
An Oni, huh?
Why don't you face me?
A Makamou?
Targeted Town
It is as if you are wholly transparent
As if everything is passing through you
Is that not how it feels?
Boy! If you are going to journey...
Then you must have clear skies in your heart!
Hit the beat! Keep your beat!
Seek out the places that move your heart!
Hit the beat! Keep your beat!
Find what no one else can do!
That is your resonance!
Asumu was helping in the store.
Kasumi and Ibuki. Sounds like a good team.
Ibuki, won't you have a hard time fighting it with a wind instrument?
There's a way to fight it, if I have my Reppu.
