at the mirror house and continues their mindless pursuit of ritsuka they catch her and attempt to snatch her pendant but she is saved when The lights in the House suddenly go off Yuri appears and leads ritsuka out of the mirror house hiding her from the fan girls who continue to chase Shadows like pathetic fools ritsuka asks him what is happening and why REM is nowhere to be found she accuses Yuri of telling lies but he flips the entire narrative he tells ritsuka that Lindo is keeping a lot of Secrets including the fact that he is

an exorcist ritsuka doesn't believe this but she recalls lindo's Shady actions Yuri informs ritsuka that there is still so much she doesn't know and he offers to tell her everything however the pendant continues to stop his enchantment whenever he gets too close he asks ritsuka to remove the pendant and as the flustered fool attempts to remove the pendant REM arrives and stops her things get awkward when both REM and Yuri offer to leave with ritsuka she becomes overwhelmed and begins to run away REM attempts to chase After her but Yuri stops him they both argue

and Yuri accuses REM of losing his cool because of something they refer to as a chess piece while REM accuses Yuri y of acting out of turn Yuri thinks REM is afraid Yuri would turn against him if Yuri found the grimoire but REM ignores Yuri and leaves ritsuka continues to run in fear until she crashes into Lindo she is delighted to see her brother and attempts to report the creeps but she is shocked to turn around and see no Amusement partk Lindo tells her she is exhausted and could be seeing things leading her back home

laundry however ritsuka almost collapses when she Rises to her feet she complains that she feels exhausted from the previous day but Lindo promises her he is there to help she recalls how Lindo had always been there whenever they needed help even when they were kids the two Continue to talk and ritsuka attempts to open the window but she realizes that Lindo has the window locked from behind when she asks why Lindo claims it's all to protect her from her ritsuka asks if Lindo is truly an exorcist and the question catches London unawares Lindo explains that

their grandfather used to study folklore and ancient myths he was the top in his field and he uncovered so many Secrets some of which attracted attacks from Sinister creatures like Vampires and Devils he tells ritsuka that their grandfather was cursed and that he had been reduced to something inhumane in the last year of his life Lindo claims that their grandfather had been preparing him to protect the family from a very young age and this was why he took up the responsibility as soon as he died becoming an exorcist ritsuka is surprised that even her mom

knows that Lindo is an exorcist and she finds it hard to believe the existence of Monsters however she begins to recall the unusual nature of the attackers so far and the red eyes of the leader Lindo informs ritsuka that they intended to tell her everything the night before she turned 17 ritsuka wonders why they keep attacking their family and Lindo explains that the vampires believe they have the grimoire the grimoire is a powerful book of spells that would give the vampires enough power to defeat the devils and overrun the entire world Ritsuka is surprised by

this information and she informs Lindo that Yuri knows about the grimoire too Lindo reveals that REM Lindo Mage and Shiki were devils disguised as students ritsuka finds this impossible because REM has always been protecting her I mean despite all the signs and red flags Lindo insists that they were all after the grimoire and that he is the only one who is genuinely interested in protecting her when Lindo leaves ritsuka Begins to recall the bizarre things she has experienced with the council members including the sudden appearance and disappearance of an entire amusement park however she still

wishes that REM has no intention of hurting her but to protect her talk about a character more annoying than Sakura Lindo prepares to leave the house and places holy water all around he also locks the door from the outside and makes sure that all the locks are secure he sings about how much He cares about his sister and how much he has always wanted to protect her since they were younger he became an exorcist just to protect her and he will continue to do so even if it costs him his life however once Lindo leaves

the senseless ritsuka continues her streak of utterly brainless decisions and breaks out of the house she wants to confirm lindo's words by herself and see if her knight in shining armor is a devil she arrives at the library and Knocks when the door opens the figure is a student she has never seen when she inquires who he is and if he has seen REM the strange boy smiles and shuts the door again Ram arrives almost immediately and asks to know what ritsuka wants ritsuka admits that he has been really helpful since her mother was kidnapped

but she wants to know if he only wanted the grimoire for himself and nothing else REM ignores the question and tells ritsuka that he can no longer Be of help or be seen talking to her since Lindo hates him so much later that day azuna is in class when REM comes to visit as usual he is flocked by the girls in the class but he ignores them to ask after ritsuka azuna is shocked to learn that ritsuka is is in school and she informs REM that she has no idea about ritsuka's whereabouts meanwhile Lindo is

in what seems like a cathedral where he receives a ring from another Exorcist when he leaves he receives a Notification that frightens him ritsuka continues to wander around the school lost in thought she meets a group of students who inform her that REM is searching for ritsuka but have no idea she is the one she declines their offer to leave with them and is confronted by REM soon after she realizes that REM is acting strange but he leads her away Lindo arrives at ritsuka's school school to meet auna and she informs Lindo that she has

explains that they were all things ritsuka had formerly seen but had forgotten ritsuka runs away from I and she demands to return home however Shiki ignores him and starts his pathetic singing rituals Like the others when the music ends ritsuka snaps back to her senses and she pushes Shiki away Shiki merely Chuckles as he causes ritsuka to suddenly become paralyzed she remains Frozen and unable to move while Shiki threatens to possess the grimoire at all costs and kill her luckily azuna appears and sends him flying with sprinkles of holy water she casts spells to trap

Shiki and ritsuka is both shocked and grateful however Shiki breaks free from the the spell and Reveals His Wings he tells azuna that he is an angel so it's practically impossible for an exorcist to defeat him the brain dead ritsuka stops escaping and quarrels with azuna for telling lies and befriending her despite being an exorcist she soon learns that Lindo knows about asuna's secret identity and that she is the only one in the dark in the center of a fight between Devils Angels vampires and exorcists to control the power of the grimoire Shiki attacks Before

they can react using violent winds to blow the two apart he flaps his wings and shoots a series of spikes at azuna azuna conjures a shield with her rings but it fails as the spike pierces right through and injures her badly the worthless stupid and absolute pain in the ritsuka can only watch Shiki steps on auna and threatens to inflict even more damage but ritsuka jumps in and covers auna she asks Shiki to stop hurting her friend and just like that The psychopath agrees they appeared in school with a snap of his finger and all

the bruises in Asuna had disappeared ritsuka asks if he knows where her mother is but he doesn't give a satisfactory response and leaves ritsuka turns around to see REM and she stops him from leaving she asks a series of questions about his motive and her mother but REM leaves without giving a response we see REM having a conversation with his father his Father's voice seems to come from all directions and he scolds REM for being sloppy in his quest to get the grimoire The Voice suggests that REM intends to betray the Arlon name because he

is infatuated with humans REM denies this vehemently but an eye appears and a powerful force slams REM into the wall the force holds him off the ground and his father warns that he will die if he fails to find the grimoire meanwhile the others can hear everything happening as The dimension is just beyond a curtain they discuss how frightening The Experience must be and Shiki even makes fun of REM he reminds them that they all have hidden intentions to get the grimoire for themselves if they can Mage suggests that it's a good time to run

a muuk since REM is still trapped in his daddy issues however Shiki leaves before REM and Yuri can react Rowan is left in the library and he watches as a worn REM struggles out from behind the curtain And Falls exhausted Rowan steps into another curtain and sees a bright light azuna and ritsuka are shopping in the mall and azuna warns ritsuka not to stray too far away from her ritsuka assures azuna that she will be fine but azuna insists that they stay together they continue to browse the shelves together until they are done and azuna

leaves for the checkout ritsa suddenly notices that Rowan is in the mall among a group of plushies it barks at ritsuka And begins to walk away ritsuka follows the dog and she tells azuna she will return once the dog begins to lead her outside the mall she eventually finds the dog hiding in a bush and picks it up she confirms that it is Rowan and she plays around with the dog while wondering how it got into the mall suddenly the dog changes into one of the familiar figures ritsuka had seen in the school he introduces

himself as Rowan and reminds ritsuka that she has seen His human form only once before ritsuka becomes frightened and pushes Rowan away azuna calls but Rowan stops her from answering and Promises to tell her about the Forbidden grimoire ritsuka wonders if he is a devil too but Rowan explains to her that he is merely Cerberus the Watchdog of hell he serves Maxis the Fallen king of hell he creates a portal and offers ritsuka the choice of coming with him to learn the truth about the grimoire well our brain dead girl calls Asuna and tells her

she has things to do accepting Rowan's offer she never learns azuna is worried when the call ends but Shiki suddenly descends from the sky and asks azuna to hide him Mage and Yuri appear almost immediately and the Furious Mage breaks a pole with his fist the pole Falls towards azuna and Shiki but Yuri stops it with his Whip and throws it away Shiki turns like the serpent he is and tells the others he was only leading them to azuna because She would know where ritsuka is azuna becomes frightened as she is surrounded by the three

Rema wakes in the library and realizes that it is empty he knows that something is a but isn't sure Rowan continues to lead ritsuka through a strange Place several portals appear on the walls as soon as Rowan passes them and ritsuka continues to ask a lot of questions Rowan ignores the questions and asks ritsuka to move a lot faster but ritsuka refuses to proceed if Rowan Doesn't tell her what the grimoire is when Rowan realizes that ritsuka is serious he informs her that Maxis is currently in his weakened State and he needs to grimoire to

restore his power ritsuka erroneously thinks the grimoire contains a procedure that can grant the devil's power but Rowan explains that the grimoire itself is a great power and it allows whoever possesses it to harness great power Rowan goes mad like the others and becomes weird and touchy But ritsuka sends him flying with the power from her ring Rowan informs ritsuka that the grimoire is embedded inside of ritsuka and that she is the great power that everyone wants to possess Whoever has ritsuka can rule the entire world because of the power power inside of her he

proposes that ritsuka yields herself to his master and that her family would be spared once Maxis begins to rule the world ritsuka is baffled but she thinks Rowan's words are Too good to be true Rowan responds like the rest of the Fools With a Song one might think this is an Indian movie at this point he reveals that his only desire is to serve his master and that ritsuka is the key to all that azuna is having a hard time fighting off the Devils by herself they ask her to surrender and tell them where ritsuka

is luckily Lindo appears and prepares to attack the Devils but the cowards avoid conflict and they disappear before he Arrives he tends to the fatigued auna and asks about ritsuka's whereabouts but she soon learns that ritsuka didn't go home as she promised REM discovers that Rowan is manipulating ritsuka as he approaches to stop them meanwhile Rowan promises ritsuka that if she can let him remove the power of the grimoire from her body the night before her birthday then she would be free to do whatever she wants and her family would be safe he creates a

portal to a room and asks Ritsuka to stay there with the assurance that she will be safe until it is time to EXT the power of the grimoire he asks ritsuka to remove her ring and she almost does this but REM stops her REM challenges Rowan and scolds him for betraying the council for his old Master Maxis REM attacks Rowan but he is lightning quick and holds ritsuka hostage ritsuka becomes frightened and unleashes the power of the Ring causing Rowan to fall back to the ground Lindo Teleports into the room at that instant and finds

ritsuka injured he thinks REM is the culprit and furiously attacks him ritsuka steps in between the two to stop Lindo from attacking but he becomes covered in Sinister energy and sends ritsuka flying he prepares to slash REM with his claws but ritsuka steps in again and he hurts her face instead the Mindless Lindo continues to fight against REM until REM reminds him that he is hurting ritsuka Lindo returns to His senses and becomes heartbroken for the damage he has done to ritsuka REM disappeared right away and they all arrived back outside the mall Rowan observes

in hiding and he promises to try again until Maxis is free that night Lindo apologizes to ritsuka for hurting her in his mindless fit of rage ritsuka forgives him but demands to know the truth Lindo explains that they used a charm to hide the scent of the grimoire but it failed a year ago when ritsuka Lost control although the scent was released for a split second the devils and vampires knew they had it and had been plotting to attack ever since ritsuka is distraught because everything is her fault and asks that the grimoire be taken

away completely however Lindo informs her that she will die if the power of the grimoire is extracted from her body he promises to protect her until the danger passes that night ritsuka is lost in thought about how Everyone continues to hide things from her REM also formulates another plan to achieve his new set of goals the preparation for the school's Festival is already underway and ritsuka tries to participate in the process while worrying about all that has been happening in the last few days before she leaves for the festival Lindo blesses ritsuka and enchants her

with his spells he also asks her to be careful and stay away from strangers When azuna arrives Lindo joins them to leave for school he instructs that ritsuka shouldn't stay away from himself or auna all through the Festival ritsuka promises that she will stay put and stay away from strangers they arrive at an elaborate Park set up outside the school and azuna tells them that the dance at night would even be better Shiki diligently searches for Rowan in the library while the others tease him Mage declares that he doesn't care if the dog Returns or

not and Yuri also remains indifferent however REM appears and informs them about Rowan's betrayal including his folded attempt to kidnap ritsuka and harvest the power of the grimoire they are surprised that Rowan has his plans to get the grimoire and present his power to Max they give a sigh of relief that Maxis won't be returning for their heads and REM announces that he knows where the grimoire is he informs them that the Grimoire is in Vienna where ritsuka's grandfather hid it he assures them that his men are already on their way to retrieve it and

his father will soon appear to rule the Realms again the others are defeated and Shiki suggests that they steal the grimoire from rem's men Mage and Yuri ask him to keep it quiet warning that no news of such conspiracy must be heard meanwhile REM knows that the grimoire is inside ritsuka's body and that she would die if It were extracted azuna and ritsuka are selling pancakes at the fair and ritsuka finds Lindo watching her from in between kiosks azuna leaves to caution Lindo from being too creepy but another student approaches ritsuka and informs her she

has a visitor the figure leads her to somewhere private and she meets Yuri Yuri offers her a flower and asks her to be his date for the dance later that night ritsuka is still repulsed by Yuri and she pushes him away Yuri Apologizes for his terrible actions before and explains that they learned she isn't with the grimoire made appears and pushes Yuri asking ritsuka to be his date instead ritsuka learns that REM informed the others that the grimoire is somewhere in Vienna and that she is innocent she rejects Mage too and he gets in a

headlock With Yuri Shiki appears from behind and makes the same proposal but azuna appears and repels them with her holy water Lindo appears Soon after and begins to cast a spell but other girls arrive and they cart the three council members away when ritsuka informs the others about rem's lie azuna insists that it's only an attempt to deter the others from The Chase and not to protect ritsuka that night they arrived at the ball they are each given a glass of champagne and informed that one of the cups contains a crown whoever found the crowns

would be declared king and queen whoever gets the crowns will Be merged as a couple for the night and they'll get to dance together while everyone else applauds ritsuka drinks her champagne and she is surprised to find a crown at the bottom of the glass the Devils immediately get Champagnes hoping to find a crown but auna is delighted when none of them do REM arrives at the ball and causes a commotion he receives a glass of champagne and finds the crown at the bottom the crowd cheers and surrounds The two before Lindo can ask ritsuka

to swap with someone else when the two get seated REM assures ritsuka that it is all a coincidence and that he didn't use magic to manipulate the results Lindo azuna and the rest of the Devils stare in Anger azuna assures Lindo that none of the Devils would dare attack ritsuka in the clear gaze of all the students when it is time to dance ritsuka hesitates because she can't dance but REM asks her to Simply follow his lead The two begin to dance and ritsuka talks to REM about everything that happened before for she appreciates REM

for always helping her despite refusing to take credit the anime continues to prove to be a misplaced Indian movie as the two begin to sing in the lowbudget musical the song is basically about how they feel the song ends with an awkward stare between the two and multiple fireworks that attract the rest of the students Yuri and the rest of the Devils Finally understand why REM had been protecting ritsuka from their influence and compelling Lindo on the other hand is very Furious as there is nothing he can do REM leaves an embarrassment and so does

ritsuka on their way home ritsuka continues to think about what happened and what it could mean the atmosphere is tense as neither Lindo nor auna wants to talk about the Chemistry Between the brain dead ritsuka and the devil suddenly they are besieged by Vampires who ask for the location of the grimoire they are surrounded by vampires and Lindo asks auna to protect ritsuka a fight begins immediately as auna repels the vampires with her magic Lindo is on the offensive and uses wide- range spells that clear off multiple vampires at the same time the more they

fought the more vampires appeared until Lindo became became overwhelmed the Sinister energy begins to seek out him and his eyes turn blood red his nails grow into Claws and he uses it with his sudden lightning quick attacks to destroy the vampires the leader of the vampires appears and captures ritsuka to kidnap her but azuna fights back and slashes his face he becomes Furious and stabs azuna in the chest before she can react the weapon pierces right through auna and she falls to the ground lifeless ritsuka becomes livid and screams she unleashes a bright light that

engulfs the entire vicinity Destro destroying Every vampire it comes in contact with the Devils all over the city sense the power of the grimoire once more and the sacred ring with ritsuka breaks into pieces ritsuka holds auna in her hands as she dies she keeps profusely but the leader of the vampires is ecstatic they had found the grimoire at long last and it was buried within ritsuka he vows to return and harvest the power of the grimoire when he can the light engulfing ritsuka begins to wne and she falls due To exhaustion however Lindo arrives

in time and picks her up he places another spell on ritsuka to mask the fragrance of the grimoire and he glances at auna once more before leaving with an unconscious ritsuka a while after three Eerie hounds appear on site and they transform into the council members Yuri explains that ritsuka must have been the grimoire herself and they were all wrong for thinking the grimoire was a book instead Mage is furious because REM must Have known the truth and made a full of them but Yuri believes REM has his reasons for hiding the truth about ritsuka

Shiki concludes that they were that way towards ritsuka because the power of the Grim must have been too intoxicating for them to handle Mage complains that he can no longer track ritsuka's scent and Yuri notes it must be due to lindo's masking spells Shiki finds asuna's dead body and mocks her for being nothing but an ordinary side Character who died for absolutely nothing when the Devils leave REM appears out of thin air to observe the scene Lindo takes ritsuka to the exorcists society they commend Lindo for bringing ritsuka to their coven for protection and give

their condolences for the death of auna they present Lindo with another sacred ring and ask him to be rest assured ritsuka awakes in a room with Lindo holding her hands he explains that they are in the society and they Would be hiding there until it is past her 17th birthday and it is safe for her to leave ritsuka learns that azuna couldn't be saved and she breaks down in misery however Lindo encourages her and assures her that they would all gladly sacrifice themselves for her to live because they care about her he hands her asuna's

necklace and asks her to continue living for asuna's sake when ritsuka returns to sleep he places the new ring on her fingers ritsuka asks him Not to leave her alone and he prom prises to always protect her at all times Lindo leaves for another room where he undergos his cleansing two other exorcists bless him and pour a special type of holy water on his skin the water begins to burn into his skin and cause him unimaginable pain assuring him it will cleanse him of all the dark energy within his body Mage continues to track ritsuka's

scent but fails to find any clue he finds Yuri and Shiki sitting Around and scolds them for not helping but Yuri informs the fool that ritsuka is inside the exorcists society a powerful barrier they can't hope to break Shiki knows that Society isn't safe for ritsuka and asks them to watch patiently Lindo arrives in ritsuka's room still in pain but he realizes that ritsuka is nowhere to be found meanwhile she has been led by exorcists to meet the leaders of the society they inform her that they intend to perform a Cleansing ceremony for her because

she has fallen too deep into the darkness ritsuka demands to see Lindo but they tell her that Lindo is away she reluctantly sits and awaits the cleansing but she becomes alert when they try to bind her as she sees harmful weapons she escapes the Exorcist and runs towards the door where she meets Lindo coming in search of her Lindo questions The Exorcist and they inform him that the best course of action is to Eliminate the very host of the grimoire and erase it from the world Lindo becomes Furious that a person he had always trusted

would seek to kill her sister and he warns them to stay away some of the exorcists mock him and refer to him as a dumer a derogatory word used for human vampire hybrids ritsuka struggles to understand what is happening but Lindo attacks in Fury he starts a fire and strengthens it with a spell before escaping with ritsuka the Exorcists chase after them urging themselves to kill ritsuka at all costs they are interrupted by the Devils who are floating right above them Mage scolds them for attempting to harm ritsuka who for weird reasons is now dear

to all three of them the exorcists are frightened but they summon courage and prepare to attack the Devils the devils in return promis to destroy all the exorcists and have ritsuka for themselves ritsuka and Lindo keep Running until they arrive at an unknown building Lindo asks them to hide inside the house until Daybreak and he is certain they will be just fine when they are seated the inquisitive ritsuka asks Lindo about what the exorcists have said Lindo admits that it is true and that he is a dumer his father is a vampire and that means

he is a hybrid ritsuka is surprised and she wonders if she is also a vampire hybrid that would have been convenient however Lindo tells ritsuka That she isn't a hybrid because they're not actual siblings we see that Marta was so sick she became fragile but she failed to admit she had a son because Lindo should be dead when Marta died ritsuka's mom took him in and asked him to take ritsuka as his younger sibling although Marta had rejected Lindo because he was born a monster he was delighted that their grandfather ritsuka's mother and ritsuka were

always there to cater for him and make him Happy when they were younger he struggled with controlling the urges that came with his vampire blood especially when playing with ritsuka their grandfather subjected him to several training sessions to help him control his urges however whenever he is locked inside his training room ritsuka sneaks in to play and when she learns that Lindo isn't allowed to play she stays in the room with Lindo just to keep him company Lindo apologizes to Ritsuka for not telling her the truth and she forgives him because she believes he wants

to protect her things get crazy when Lindo tells ritsuka that he wants her for himself but they are interrupted by REM Lindo accuses REM of wanting the grimoire and asks him to stay away Lindo challenges REM to a final Faceoff and vows to defeat him once and for all so he has to stay away from ritsuka always the two begin to sing as they fight and we have the Corniest fight scene in anime history Lindo shoots attack after attack at REM who blocks everything and Lindo switches to his vampire mode and slashes rem's face with

his claws he insults REM for being weak and this infuriates REM who gets serious right away they Clash a couple more times and REM easily has the upper hand wearing out Lindo until he can no longer move REM prepares to land the final attack but ritsuka stops him she furiously asks him to leave and Never return claiming she despises him and his Devils Lindo seizes the opportunity and lands an attack on REM Who falls back REM disappears into smoke Lindo collapses from exhaustion and ritsuka takes him to a clinic at the the clinic ritsuka vows

to stop anyone from hurting those she loves and decides to take matters into her own hands throwing away the crown from the dance in the vampire castle the leader of the vampire thugs Jack addresses a figure on the Throne Lord nesa he tells nesa that he intends to recover ritsuka and ask what nesa intends to do with Lindo nesa laughs and informs Jack that Lindo is right where he wants him ritsuka is still in the clinic with Lindo and she assures him she is around when he wakes from a nightmare she recalls when Lindo helped

her to rescue a cat trapped in a tree and how he sacrificed himself instead of letting the cat get injured she wonders if she can heal him because Of the power of the grimoire inside of her she recalls another Act of heroism when she stayed in the rain to protect her flowers but Lindo forced her inside and stayed back to build an enclosure the next day Lindo was down with a fever and he promised ritsuka to get even stronger and continue to protect her after a while ritsuka leaves to get food for herself and Lindo

when ritsuka arrives at the school she finds it empty and messy as an aftermath of the Festival She searches through the classrooms to find bottles of water and a couple of apples she is reminded of the entire drama that occurred during the festival and her encounter with the Devils she snaps back to her senses and leaves to meet Lindo meanwhile REM is in a building reminiscing about his Fallout with RIT sua the other council members appear in the building they are furious at REM for his actions they tell him they've been to Vienna and have

also Crushed all the exorcists REM talks back and accuses them of being too soft for a demon insisting that nothing matters to Devils but traditions the others mock him and inform him that they know the grimoire was never in Vienna they wonder why REM continues to keep ritsuka away from them REM denies the accusations and the Devils demand that he let them do whatever they want to her if this is true REM becomes Furious when the Devils begin to argue with one another about Who gets to keep ritsuka and he yells at them to stop

a powerful Breeze emanates from him that blows in all directions the others insist that he is attached to ritsuka and that is why he gets so worked up whenever they come around her REM denies the accusations and claims he only cares about the grimoire Yuri declares that they can't trust him if he refuses to be sincere with his feelings and tell them the truth they begin to sing about how REM has always hidden his True feelings and acts cool they mount pressure on him to spill the beans and meanwhile ritsuka feels that there's someone else

in the hall and she tries to leave quickly unfortunately she is confronted by Jack he acknowledges that ritsuka is the embodiment of the grimoire Jack asks ritsuka to go with him if he wants them to leave Lindo alone and release her mother ritsuka doesn't believe Jack but she soon realizes that Jack is a vampire and Jack Promis that he knows where her mother is ritsuka bids the unconscious Lindo farewell and leaves with Jack to their Hideout Jack leads her down an alley and ritsuka collides with an annoying Old gezer who almost attacks her but he

backs away when he sees Jack Jack leads her into a building and while they are in an elevator ritsuka inquires if her mother is safe Jack assures her that vampires aren't Liars like devils and she can be certain that her mother is Fine they arrive in a room and ritsuka finds her mother on a stage she is delighted but Jack asks her not to wake her up she has bite marks around her neck and ritsuka is scared she could have turned into a vampire however Jack tells ritsuka that her mother won't turn into a vampire

Lindo eventually awakes in the clinic and he realizes that ritsuka is gone the Devils have ignored their interrogation of REM and they discuss how they will possess the Grimoire before Maxis does mage is still furious at Rowan for betraying them they tell REM that while they'll do all they can to ensure that Maxis doesn't get the grimoire they'll not let REM possess the grimoire either until he confesses his feelings Jack and ritsuka begin to talk over T and he assures ritsuka that the tea isn't poisoned ritsuka asks what he wants and Jack responds with a

question Jack explains that a professor learned about the secret of the grimoire and Plan to harness its power the devil King becomes intrigued and takes on human form to befriend the demon however he becomes enthralled by the professor's daughter and marries her they have a daughter and Jack explains that ritsuka is that daughter her father is the Demon King Maxis and she is the first human born of demon blood this is why she is powerful enough to house the grimoire Marie ritsuka's mom awakes and ritsuka goes to talk to her Marie apologizes for Everything ritsuka

is going through and how her faith has been sealed since she was born however ritsuka doesn't feel devastated instead she is glad that she finally understands why everything has been happening and what can be done to stop it it is all because she is the daughter of the devil King Maxis and everyone wants the grimoire in her body however Jack tells ritsuka that the vampire King Nesta can save her he informs ritsuka that the vampires and Devils are Arch enemies and if the king of vampir Ires possesses the grimoire he will bring an end to

all the devils and even destroy Maxis if he attempts to fight Lord nesa ritsuka considers the proposal and asks how nesa intends to take out the grimoire Jack tells her that they have no idea how nesa intends to remove it but she has no choice but to take his offer and protect her family he threatens that if she refuses he will end both her and Marie there without Fail ritsuka agrees to leave with Jack provided her mother is safe and he assures her that no harm will come to Marie he opens a door and leads

her down a fleet of stairs until they arrive at a river with a Vampire waiting to get them across Jack promises ritsuka once more that Lord Nesta isn't interested in dominating the humans and her family will be left alone once he possesses the grimoire the vampire sails the boat toward a creepy castle in the distance Under the moon that is blood red REM stares at the moon and figures that ritsuka is probably in trouble Lindo sees the moon and he has the same premonition meanwhile Rowan watches from a distance as Jack leads ritsuka to the

vampire castle once they arrive near the castle a group of vampire appear to welcome them Jack offers to help her out of the boat but she refuses she attempts to step out but Falls and bruises her knees the vampires become triggered when They see her blood but Jack scolds them and leads ritsuka away when they arrive at the door of the castle ritsuka recalls a fact she learned about vampires with Lindo they learned in their grandfather's book that vampires had no reflection in a mirror the door of the castle is a mirror and the only

reflection is of ritsuka they open the door and led her into the castle Jack leads her into a hallway and the candles are suddenly lit the vampires bow at the Figure seated upon the throne and ritsuka sees Lord Nesta with three girls bound to his throne nesa discovers that ritsuka is bruised and asks who is responsible the vampires accompanying Jack avert his gaze and one of them takes to his heels Nesta catches the worthless vampire using telekinetic powers and he crushes his throat without listening to ritsuka's please when ritsuka turns to face Nesta she falls
