I think we can just sleep normally.
Yes?
Young Mistress, the Mistress is calling for you.
She is?
I know
I told my husband-to-be to watch over me.
B-But I'm nervous.
Ma'am, Young Mistress is here.
Come in.
How beautiful.
Change into that right now.
This is…
Our maids' uniform.
That's good enough for you, isn't it?
U-Um…
I'd like you to work as a servant.
I don't remember allowing you to stay in this house.
At least make yourself useful.
Y-Yes.
Kiyoka must be out of his mind.
To choose such a meager girl as his fiancée.
On top of that, a daughter of the Saimori family.
We gain nothing from forming a relationship with that family.
There's no way you're good enough for the Kudo family.
Nae, make full use of this girl.
Ma'am, are you sure about this?
Are you saying you can't follow my orders?
No, absolutely not.
But I don't think Young Master would be happy about this.
Excuse me…
I'll help with the cleaning.
Please let me.
See? She's saying so herself.
I'll do my best.
I'll be in your care.
MY HAPPY MARRIAGE
A NEW ORDEAL
There are no folktales related to demons in this area.
Meaning, the appearance of demon-shaped Grotesqueries
is most likely not a natural occurrence.
It's great that the military is looking into this.
If people hear about a demon, it's not good for business either. Right?
So, you want to know where the run-down mansion is. Correct?
There.
You see that roof? That's it.
For starters,
please clean up the garden.
Yes.
This is fine.
If it's cleaning, I just have to do what I did at the Saimori house.
I must make sure to wipe off the streak marks.
I bet she'll be packing her things while in tears right about now.
She's not?
Cleaning the floor on your hands and knees suits you very well.
U-Um, I'll do my best.
Do you really understand what I'm saying to you?
Y-Yes.
I'm saying that nothing about you is good enough for the Kudo family.
If you understand, get out of this house right now!
As you said,
I don't think I'm worthy of being here.
And?
But
my husband-to-be says he needs me.
So
I will not give up.
Don't make me laugh.
Not once have I ever thought of you as my mother.
What's with you?
Don't you dare mock me!
Fuyu, I can't overlook it if you go that far.
Sir.
Fuyu-chan, let's get some rest.
Sorry about this, Miyo.
I-It's okay, sir.
Why don't you get it?
She's so far from being perfect.
There's no way we'll allow her to join the Kudo family.
I don't believe you have the determination to carry on the Kudo family.
Come on, let's go.
Excuse me.
To be honest,
I underestimated your cleaning skills.
Huh?
Please forgive me.
I thought a lady of an important family
wouldn't be able to do an adequate job.
Y-You don't have to ask for forgiveness.
All members of the staff are very impressed.
I'm sure the Mistress will accept you someday.
I think I can see why the Young Master has chosen you.
Thank you very much.
What's all this?
This is…
THE ORDER'S EMBLEM WAS FOUND
The Nameless Order.
How blasphemous.
Not only is the sake cup upside down, but drawing the holy sakaki tree in flames?
It's outrageous!
It's clearly treason against the emperor.
They're the emerging religious group that's recently becoming a problem.
That's right.
The government is investigating them in secret.
But they haven't found anything yet.
Not their size, their real name, or their affairs.
It's like
they wanted it to be found.
Who are you?
Kiyoka Kudo.
It's no use.
Die!
His power and movements aren't in sync at all.
He's a complete amateur.
Who are you? Answer me.
The founder has blessed me with a power.
A sacred power beyond human knowledge!
Behold the power of the Gifted Communion!
Gifted Communion.
Could it be the order's name?
Was it a mistake to bring Miyo here?
I've put her in danger because of my selfishness.
The villa must be the safest place.
But my mother is there.
Though she asked me to watch over her…
Miyo,
are you really okay?
Don't tell me you were waiting for me here all day?
Welcome back, sir.
Sir,
you've worked hard today.
Wait.
Yes?
Come.
Sit here.
What?
Come closer.
O-Okay.
S-Sir?
Stay still.
B-But…
It's warmer this way, isn't it?
Y-Yes.
Did my mother say something?
Um…
Thanks to your mother,
I think I learned a bit more about this place today.
This place is different from the Saimori house.
There's kindness present.
Kindness?
That's right.
No one in this villa has a clouded look on their face.
And your mother is the one who's protecting that. She's amazing.
No one has ever said that before.
Miyo, are you sure you're not pushing yourself too hard?
Yes. Please watch over me a little longer.
How long is a little longer?
Until I give up, if possible.
Is that all right?
Will you give up if I say no?
I won't.
Sir.
Fine.
I'll watch over you quietly.
Thank you very much.
I must talk to her today.
It's Miyo.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Ms. Fuyu, you're not feeling--
It's your fault.
I got told off by my husband.
I'm terribly sorry.
And? What are you here for?
I was hoping we could talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
Then, will you talk to my husband-to-be?
What are you talking about?
He taught me
the warmth of a family.
And everyone in this villa is also very warm.
Even so,
you two are hostile towards each other.
It's not something an outsider like you should be meddling in.
But you're being strict for the sake of my husband-to--
Be quiet!
That's enough talking from you.
Leave already.
Young Mistress is right.
Huh?
Mistress is strict because she's thinking of the Kudo family.
Young Master was brought up especially strictly
as the heir of this family.
Thanks to that, Kiyoka grew to dislike women.
Oh, Mr. Tadakiyo.
Nae, can I have a cup too?
I should apologize to you, Miyo.
It's partly my fault Fuyu-chan became the way she is.
She was a perfect lady.
But she didn't allow herself to be
just a sweet wife.
She carried excessive burdens from what people expected of the Kudo Family.
Maybe it's because she lived her life the way she did,
but she sometimes finds it hard to be honest.
I didn't ask you to apologize.
I didn't ask for your apology.
Ms. Fuyu and my husband-to-be are alike.
You're right.
Kiyoka needs you.
You'll be fine.
My Fuyu-chan is smart enough to see that.
Yes.
Please help!
What happened?
What's going on?
Mr. Soldier, my son is…
It's the demon. I saw it.
It ate my friends!
Calm down. Tell me what happened.
The villagers and I decided to chase the outsider out of the village.
But then, the demon was there.
Everyone was attacked and I barely got out of there alive.
Please! At this rate, our village--
Kota? Kota!
I'll head to the village.
I'll strengthen the barrier of the villa.
Sasaki, take care of thing here.
Yes, sir!
Miyo, you stay here.
It's safe here.
Sir, please be careful.
I'll be off.
What on earth is going on?
Kota.
Kota!
Maybe my Dream-Sight can…
What should I do?
Mr. Arata told me not to use my ability on my own because it's dangerous.
But
what if I can help him?
What's going on here?
Ms. Fuyu.
What do you think you're doing?
Get away from him!
But he's…
We don't even know why he collapsed.
What are you going to do if he tries to harm others?
That's…
A girl like you can't do anything, so just be quiet!
I can.
What can you do?
I'll use my supernatural ability to save this man.
I already know that you don't have any ability.
I do have one.
I'm a member of the Usuba family.
Usuba? Stop talking nonsense.
You want Kiyoka's attention that much?
I want to be of use for my husband-to-be.
I don't want to take my position as his fiancée for granted.
I want to do what I can do.
I want to fulfill my duty.
Are you willing to risk your life for that?
Yes. If it's for my husband-to-be.
Are you going to save my son?
Keep calm.
Don't worry.
It'll all go well.
Miyo!
Stop!
Mr. Arata?
