Right and Left

右と左

Yuru's peaceful life in the village comes to a brutal end. Helicopters in the sky, handguns in the hands of attackers—with the modern weapons of those who broke the barrier and came from the "Lower Realm," the villagers are killed one after another without any means of defense. Meanwhile, Yuru, fleeing from pursuers, is led by the watchman Dera and, without knowing why, awakens "Sayo-sama," a pair of Tsugai who are also the guardians of Higashi Village. Through a contract, Yuru takes command of Sayo-sama as their Master, confronting the attackers and their Tsugai with a sharp gaze and a drawn bow.

Dera and Hana

デラとハナ

Yuru is told that his twin sister Asa, whom he believed to be his only family, is a fake, and that the eye-patched woman who broke the barrier and attacked Higashi Village is his actual blood-related "real sister Asa." Realizing the attackers' target is Yuru, and despite his confusion, he escapes the village with Dera to prevent further damage. He joins up with Hana, who works as a Tsugaiko with Dera. After descending the mountain by car, Yuru gradually learns about modern civilization and social rules despite his bewilderment. Meanwhile, Jin is seen in a certain apartment.

Jin and Yuru

ジンとユル

Yuru secretly shares a goal with Sayo-sama: to find Asa and have her lead them to their parents. With so many truths hidden—that Yuru and Asa are the "twins who divide night and day," the powers of "Release" and "Seal," and the secrets of their parents—Yuru cannot fully trust Dera or Hana. Meanwhile, as Yuru steadily learns the "rules of the lower world," he moves into a new home. After a brief rest, Yuru and Sayo-sama begin their search, relying on the scent of Asa's blood.

The Tortoise and the Hare

兎と亀

Guided by the scent of Asa's blood, Yuru and the Sayu-sama literally flew through the night city. They arrived at a deserted warehouse district where Jin, Haruo, Akio, and their Daemons were waiting. Although Yuru fell into Jin's trap and was captured, he managed to overcome the fierce battle through his unique bond of trust and coordination with the Sayu-sama. Yuru's demand to the Kagemori family was to "call Asa out and let them talk." Asa is giddy at the prospect of an unexpectedly early reunion with her brother. As Yuru heads toward the Kagemori mansion, what are his thoughts—?

The Kagemori Family and the Mysterious Attacker

影森家と謎の襲撃者

After the battle with Jin and the others, Yuru reunites with Asa at the Kagemori estate and questions her about their parents' whereabouts. However, he is told the truth: their parents vanished on a plane heading to their mother's hometown, Okinawa, and their current location is unknown. Amidst the swirling suspicion and tension within the mansion, a sinister shadow targeting Yuru and Asa approaches from outside. A sudden explosion, the presence of unknown Daemons... Faced with an unexpected new enemy attack, Yuru and the Kagemori family prepare to fight together—

Asa and "Kai"

アサと『解』

The night of the battle has dawned. Although they get the captured attackers to talk, Yuru and the Kagemori family are frustrated as they gain no information leading to the mastermind. Sensing the harsh days Asa has spent since leaving the village through this attack, Yuru asks about her right eye behind the eyepatch. Saying "I don't want to lie to my brother," Asa begins to tell her past: that she died once, killed by an assassin from the East Village—and then Yuru recalls the events of the day he was first subjected to "bloodlust" from a human.

Doubt and Conviction

疑念と確信

"The small, cute, and innocent little sister Asa of your ideals, Brother... is no longer of this world." Hearing from Asa herself how she obtained the power of "Deliverance," Yuru is left speechless by its brutality. Yuru then faces the truth that he will gain the power of "Sealing" once he dies. Meanwhile, Dera visits the Kagemori mansion to pick up Yuru. After being invited to breakfast by the head of the house, Gonzo, and sharing information, Yuru is invited to join the Kagemori family but refuses immediately. He then makes a declaration to those who seek his life and attempt to exploit his power.

Embrace and Whisper

抱擁と囁き（エンブレイスとウィスパー）

Yuru and Dera share information with each other and prepare to leave the Kagemori household. Asa runs up to Yuru and sincerely tells him that their parents actually wanted to take Yuru with them when they fled, and deeply regretted being unable to do so. Hearing her words of concern and feeling her hand on his back, Yuru feels a deep conviction that she is indeed his real sister. Unable to bear seeing Yuru feeling down, Dera takes Yuru and Hidari and Migi out for sightseeing in the city center for some social experience. Meanwhile, back at the Kagemori mansion, the interrogation of the intruders has begun—

Tenaga and Ashinaga

手長と足長

While leaving the Kagemori residence to shop downtown, Yuru and Dera sense that they are being followed. In order to shake off their tail, the group enters the Tadera family's Mayoiga, only to be confronted by a malevolent, man-eating Tsugai called 'Tenaga-Ashinaga.' Tenaga-Ashinaga effortlessly kills Yuru and Dera's stalker. Hundreds of years ago, on Mount Byonou—present-day Mount Bandai—Sayo-sama supposedly sealed this Tsugai with the help of someone who possessed the power of 'Seal' at the time. However, it seems the seal was broken by someone just the other day—

Elder Brother and Younger Brother

兄と弟

Thanks to Yuru's intense bluff and the power of Hidari and Migi, the group somehow succeeds in defeating Tenaga-Ashinaga. They then realize that a single butterfly flying up from nearby was the true identity of the one tailing Yuru and the others. This butterfly is a part of Asuma's Daemon, Asagiri, and had been following them ever since they left the Kagemori estate. After crushing the butterfly and finally shaking off their tail, Yuru and the others find the master of Tenaga-Ashinaga, a boy named Ken. Ken, who had locked himself in the Mayoiga due to the wickedness of the Daemon he contracted with, is actually—

番小者と祈祷師

Ken, the son of the previous Tadera and Dera's half-brother, has also joined Yuru and the others in their communal life. In the apartment, which becomes even more lively, Ken asks Yuru for guidance, expressing his desire to "get stronger." Meanwhile, they discover that Yuru's grandmother is apparently in Okinawa. Although the Kagemori family has already located her, there seem to be circumstances that prevent them from taking her under protection. Furthermore, Dera heads to a shaman to seek information on the previous Tadera. Meanwhile, in a hotel room in Tokyo, a new unsettling movement is underway—

Great Misfortune and Small Misfortune

大凶と小凶

"Hello, Higashi Village—" Emerging from the abdomen of the prayer master who visited Higashi Village was Yosano Ivan. Wielding his large and small sword Daemons, he ruthlessly cuts down the villagers one after another. Meanwhile, in a certain hotel room, the shadow of a man giving instructions to Ivan looms. On the other hand, Yuru, unaware of such a tragedy, thinks of the Higashi Village where he was born and raised—
