Ritsuka is the model of a perfect daughter getting up before her mom to prepare breakfast and head to school she has a brother Lindo in London who calls regularly to check up on them however before she leaves her mother replaces the charm she placed in her pendant something she does once a week ritsuka thinks her mom is a Mindless fanatic who believes in Voodoo in this Century but she assures her daughter that the Pendant and charm are important ritsuka walks to school and fantasizes about nothing but boys all day like a typical high schooler she
meets her best friend azuna when she arrives at school they do everything together and are practically siblings when ritsuka arrives at school she is informed that there's a summon demanding that she meet with the student council this is surprising because the student council president REM often summons students who break rules and are A menace to the school in one way or the other ritsuka is worried and the students murmur but she decides to visit the council in the third Library meanwhile the student council consists of four students the president REM and three others uphold the
law within the school while they are expecting ritsuka the perverts sing about how they would steal her heart once she comes in contact with them without fail ritsuka steps into the hall and she is surprised By how massive the structure is REM doesn't give her enough time to become composed and he announces that they received a report of ritsuka violating the school rules the sharp ritsuka fights back and denies ever breaking any rules her firm responses leave the council simps surprised and REM admits no girl has ever talked back to them with such confidence before
suddenly ritsuka falls under hypnosis as the entire Hall becomes dark and REM is Covered with otherworldly energy ritsuka remains Frozen and unresponsive we learned that there was no report and REM only summoned ritsuka to question her when REM draws closer a bright light suddenly appears out from her pendant and repels everyone within the room when the light dissipates ritsuka assumes her senses but remains oblivious to everything that happened she warns the council not to summon her on false charges and leaves the library the Council members were shocked by what happened when ritsuka leaves they wonder
what kind of pendant could repel them and their influence however REM assures them that everything will still go according to his plan ritsuka is welcomed by auna as soon as she leaves the library she complains that the four jerks have no proof and summons her on a mere report she informs auna that she is fine and will never return to the library even if she is summoned again The rest of the day goes by without a hitch and ritsuka has fun with her friends as usual she buys a bit of supplies and begins to head
home however she has a bad premonition as she approaches their home and her fears are confirmed when she arrives at her home her mother's car is wrecked and the gate has been forced open she proceeds to see the garden disrupted and trashed however things get worse when she looks through the window she finds strangers the as Salant rumaging through their home she sees her mom lying on the floor paralyzed and she tries to get into their home her mom gestures that she remains outside and calls the police instead ritsuka rushes out of the compound to
call the police but her device continues to act weirdly until it fails ritsuka runs off to get the cops herself but she almost loses her mind when they arrive the door and garden are fixed and in perfect condition nothing Seemed out of of place and there were no signs of damage anywhere the cops wonder if ritsuka is on drugs or just has a severe case of dementia because nothing in the house fits the descriptions she gave the rooms were neatly arranged and her mother's things remained intact the cops asked ritsuka to reach out if her
mother doesn't return soon and they leave the crazy girl with her stories ritsuka remains dazed and she tries calling her mom to figure out where she Could be she receives a response that the cell can't be reached and the call continues to fail ritsuka quickly calls Lindo her brother in London and Lindo believes her right away he assured her that he would return to the country as soon as he could but asked ritsuka to ensure that she had her pendant at all times when the call ends ritsuka recalls that she left her pendant in the
room and returns to get it she leaves a note in case her mother returns packs some of Her things and leaves to stay with auna on ritsuka's way to auna certain figures begin to stalk her through the streets they're so fast that ritsuka remains ignorant of their presence once she turns into a deserted Corner her stalkers appear three strange people were also responsible for breaking into her home earlier that day she demands to know where her mother is but the super quick assaulters grab her before she can blink they hold her arm and keep her
in Place while their boss approaches ritsuka he asks her for the location of the grimoire and his eyes begin to Glow but ritsuka turns away from his gaze he is surprised that his attempt to compel ritsuka failed but he becomes Furious when he discovers the vervaine in ritsuka's pendant suddenly a car appears and brightens the entire area with its headlamps standing before the car is REM and he asked the asants to let ritsuka go the leader of the group orders his Men to attack and they leave ritsuka to fight REM their eyes begin to Glow
as their nails and canine teeth begin to protrude they attack REM but he remains as calm as water and easily evades their lightning quick attack monado's got nothing on REM as he easily catches the fist of his inhuman attacker and squeezes his arm while the Fight Continues REM stretches forth his palm and his opponents are unable to move the leader escapes just in time before REM Finishes his minions turning them into dust that Fades away ritsuka appreciates REM but she is too frightened to move he offers her a ride in his car and ritsuka narrates
everything that happened she adds that they seem to be interested in a grimoire and wonder what the grimoire is when REM proves further ritsuka explains that her grandfather used to dabble in mystical and ancient stuff but she has never heard of the grimoire they asked for they arrive at rem's home it's A mansion with many maids and manservants they continue their conversation at dinner and REM explains that everything happening should be connected weirdly ritsuka complains that the police wouldn't believe her when she reports but REM volunteers to help instead since they always pay attention to
anyone from his family when REM prepares to leave ritsuka appreciates him for his efforts and help but REM claims he only wants to restore order to The school he leaves ritsuka in the room and she is approached by his dog which she picks up we see REM and ritsuka in rem's limo ritsuka has insisted on returning to asuna's home where she would be till Lindo returns from London to keep her safe when they arrive at School the students gather around as usual to watch the great REM highlighting from his car but their hearts are broken
when they see ritsuka also descending from the vehicle they Begin to murmur but ritsuka leaves the awkward setting in a hurry and she meets azuna who is worried the two girls discuss the events of the previous day afterward she informs azuna that there is no trace of her mother yet but REM is doing everything within his power to get her help she apologized that she ever referred to REM as a jerk since he had been so good to her classes resumed as usual but ritsuka remained concerned about her mother when azuna asks her to Head
to the cafeteria she declines and attempts to stay in class they are inter uped by a messenger from REM he informs ritsuka that REM demands her presence and ritsuka prepares to leave wondering if they have news about her mother auna tries to come along but the messenger insists that it's just ritsuka and she assures azuna she will be fine the messenger leads ritsuka back to the library and she doesn't see the strange tattoo behind his neck when she arrives At the library she notices that REM is absent but the other members of the council are
in the library she is approached by rem's dog whom she pets again until she is interrupted by Yuri one of the council members Yuri presents her with a flower and asks her to always come to him in times of need instead of reaching out to REM ritsuka becomes flustered by how close Yuri is and begins to stutter but she is saved by Shiki interrupts and scolds the Pervert Ritsuka sigh with relief but soon learns that Shiki is a worse creep when he begins to speak the third council member Mage steps in and approaches her in
a rather firm manner he isn't careful to grasp her shoulder and lift her chin assuring her that he would keep her safe at all times ritsuka is repulsed by the creeps and asks them to stay away they remain undeterred however and they continue to make stupid advances towards her they are all interrupted by REM who Suddenly appears in the room and calls them back to order he informs ritsuka that the police have a lead on her mother's current location they were able to track her mobile device to a place called Nagano and REM asked if
she knew what her mother could be doing there ritsuka explains that her late grandfather's house is located in Nagano REM recalls that her grandfather used to study Devils vampires and demons he offers to take her down to Nagano by Himself and the two leave immediately ritsuka informed auna of her plan in a mobile text when REM and ritsuka leave Mage wonders why REM had to take ritsuka along and not go to the house by himself Yuri assures them that REM is smart and he is only taking ritsuka along because she might be useful once they
arrive at her grandfather's house Mage is furious that REM gets to do whatever he wants because he is the heir of a powerful family on their way to Nagano REM Realizes that ritsuka is yet to eat and he offers her food ritsuka attempts to decline again but Ram insists that she eats ritsuka appreciates REM for his help once more and begins to eat she learns that rem's dog is called Rowan and that REM hates mushrooms later they arrive at a landmark and ritsuka informs REM her grandfather's home is near they highlight the vehicle and continue
on foot with ritsuka leading the way they walk for a while until they arrive at The property ritsuka is shocked that it has been damaged the gate was knocked off and the door had been forcefully opened REM warns ritsuka that whoever broke into the house could still be there and asks her to be careful entering into the house ritsuka is heartbroken it was just like how her home was damaged when they were first attacked she runs through the rooms in search of her mom but finds no one after a while of searching they conclude that
No one is in the house but REM finds her mother's phone and gives it to her he assured the heartbroken ritsuka that they would find her mother REM suggests that the culprits were probably the satanists from before who wanted to steal the grimoire ritsuka had never seen the grimoire these losers were after and her grandfather had so many books and files she couldn't tell the grimoire apart if it existed she recalls how she used to visit him for the Holiday with the rest of her family and how all they often did was have fun and
regular stuff REM learns from the pictures hanging around the home that the grandpa had two daughters including ritsuka's mom and her sister who was also late ritsuka begins to arrange the rooms but REM asks her to do that later he promises her they will be back with his maids to get it done however they realize the door has been sealed shut and they're trapped inside the house REM Asks for any other route that leads out of the house but they suddenly find one of the rooms on fire REM begins to stop the fires using the
curtain and ritsuka runs off to find the fire extinguisher REM asks her to stay out but she acts fast faster than her ears heading into the kitchen to find the extinguisher she is caught by one of the arsonists The Intruders from before who tries to prevent her from calling REM luckily REM arrives and kicks down the Intruder to Free ritsuka he asks her to leave the room while he faces off against the Intruder once ritsuka leaves the Intruder sets the room on fire and others begin to appear including the leader who has a mask on
REM begins to manipulate the Flames with his powers making them turn blue and causing them to stay away from him he manipulates the Flames to burn one of The Intruders and fights the others while warning them to stay away from ritsuka while they are Larger in numbers the idiotic worthless fools are nothing against rem's powers that continue to turn them to dust and their masked leader escapes again REM captures the last Intruder and interrogates him for the whereabouts of the grimoire he realizes they still haven't found the grimoire and he also turns him into dust
ritsuka is outside the burning building with rem's driver she worries about REM as the Flames continue to intensify however REM steps Out of the house unscathed and the ecstatic ritsuka EMB braces him they summon the authorities and fire extinguishers to stop the Flames ritsuka is heartbroken about how complicated things are getting and REM asks them to return home we see that even his driver has the same tattoo behind his neck but ritsuka is too carried away to realize when they arrive outside rem's Mansion they find Lindo waiting ritsuka is delighted to see her brother but
she Soon notices he might not like REM that much and the feeling seems Mutual the tension Rises as both boys stare at one another ritsuka breaks the ice and introduces them to one another and REM extends his hand for a handshake however Lindo merely grabs ritsuka and drags her away from the premises without saying a word ritsuka bids REM farewell and the alpha male remains in his handshake position unmoving the next day a furious REM arrives at the library he storms in And heads to his seat and the others can tell he has no clue
about the whereabouts of the grimoire despite heading to Nagano the others scold him for being too slow and suggest they speed things up but he warns them not to act out of turn no matter what ritsuka's sleep is interrupted by Lindo who has an apron on and he asks her to to come get breakfast while ignoring her protests when ritsuka steps out of the room she finds a delicious meal prepared and all The dishes done Lindo asks her to change out of her uniform as she will be taking time away from school and he further
warns her to stay away from REM ritka doesn't think REM is dangerous and demands to know why Lindo is so wary of him Lindo doesn't provide a reason and simply demands that she stay away at all costs ritka protests but Lindo ignores her and proceeds to sprinkle holy water all over the room while praying with his cross ritsuka has no choice but to stay Back at home and she calls auna to inform her about lindo's instructions azuna suggests she should obey Lindo for the time being and Promises to come to visit with their favorite snack
later that night once ritsuka is done with the call Lindo appears and informs ritsuka of his plans to head out in search of answers regarding their mother he promises he will be back early and warns ritsuka not to leave the house at all until he returns Lindo is dedicated to Keeping ritsuka safe and finding all the answers he needs ritsuka is left alone in the room where she tries to convince herself that everything is okay despite how her world seems to be crumbling apart she suddenly hears an accident happen outside their home and she rushes
outside to check what could have happened however she finds nothing and no one she is startled by Yuri who suddenly appears beside her and offers her a flower ritsuka is surprised to see A member of the student council outside her home and also that Yuri had come Yuri tells her that REM was worried because she wasn't in school but ritsuka tells him she can't leave because her brother instructed her not to she invites Yuri into her home but Yuri sees the whole holy water and declines he tells ritsuka that they have information about his mother
and the excited ritsuka hurries to change into her uniform and leave with him to school they arrive at A massive building and ritsuka realizes it's a greenhouse when they step in they hear a group of people singing and playing musical instruments in the distance ritsuka continues to walk until she arrives at what seems to be a masked party with several students dining and playing musical instruments once Yuri appears the girls gather around him with Ecstasy but he ignores them and leads ritsuka by the hand to a adorned at the center the worthless fan girls are
Furious and Rain subtle insults on ritsuka she demands to see REM but Yuri ignores her question and sings instead Michael Jackson got nothing on Yuri who had cooked up a masterpiece and performed with so much Riz he continues the enchanting and attempts to kiss ritsuka when he gets close enough the pendant gives off a bright light and his enchanting breaks returning ritsuka to her senses she immediately slaps Yuri and it is so hard that it resounds Across the greenhouse the actions of the fan girls become strange as ritsuka noticed as they are all chuckling in
an eerie unsettling manner they all have the same tattoos behind their neck and they approach ritsuka meanwhile azuna is at the bakery to get the snacks before heading to ritsuka's home she discovers she has a voicemail and learns that ritsuka left with the members of the student council she becomes alert and leaves the bakery in a hurry a Chase had Eventually begun as the brainwashed fan girls began to chase ritsuka ritsuka runs as fast as she can but there is no way out of sight Yuri activates a strange enchantment and an entire amusement park appears
ritsuka can't explain the bizarre sight and quickly hides while the pursuing lackeys continue their mindless Chase of Shadows with a snap of Yuri's fingers the entire park becomes lit and bright the mob finds ritsuka in hiding and resumes Their Chase ritsuka finds an attraction called Mirror house and she runs into the building in the library REM realizes someone has tampered with the pieces on his board and asks the other who is responsible however they claim to have no idea who the culprit is leaving him to figure out that Yuri is responsible the mob soon arrived
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
ritsuka wonders how Lindo could tell where she was and recalls that Yuri called Lindo an exorcist that night in the amusement park Yuri thinks about how he almost had ritsuka under his influence and vows to get her at all costs even if it would cause unimaginable damage to her ritsuka has a series of nightmares she is pursued by mysterious figures she sees Her injured mother and Yuri's psychotic threat to hold her until she falls apart while she struggles Lindo arrives in her room and wakes her up abruptly he opens the curtain and asks for her
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
no information about ritsuka's Whereabouts they split up to search for ritsuka and Lindo uses a spell to figure out her location the stick he enchants points in a certain direction and we learn that REM is still in the library the impostor leads ritsuka to a deserted location and ritsuka prepares to ask REM if he is a devil along with the rest of the council members however she is frightened by rem's demeanor and how out of character he becomes right after she hears Lindo calling out her name and she Attempts to escape but she is cornered
on every side by various doppelgangers of REM the doppelgangers continue to draw closer and closer until ritsuka screams Lindo appears almost immediately and kicks the doppelganger backward he assures ritsuka that she is safe since he is around we learn that Shiki is the culprit who had conjured the doppelgangers to trap and fight Lindo the copies soon spring into action and they begin to attack Lindo who Shields Ritsuka with his body they continue to hit him until he bleeds ritsuka becomes overwhelmed and her pendant glows until it snaps Lindo is forced to use his pow on
humans and he turns around to attack the doppelgangers he makes a prayer and hand signs with his cross like a classic Exorcist he is no John Constantine but his spells work and the doppelgangers are knocked out they revert to ordinary students with the same tattoos behind their necks the actual REM appears but Lindo warns him to stay away meanwhile Shiki is delighted by the outcome he has gotten when he returns to the library he is confronted by REM who demands to know where he had been but he ignores REM and heads back into the library
ritsuka AIDS Lindo with his injuries when they arrive home she appreciates Lindo for saving her once again and Lindo warns her to stay away from the council students who she can now tell without a doubt her Devils unfortunately the brain dead Ritsuka insists that she wants to see for herself and would like to return to school the next day Lindo realizes there's nothing to be done and gives her a ring promising that the ring will protect her like the pendant once did he also announces that he will be attending ritsuka's school henceforth and the News
almost gives her a stroke meanwhile REM continues to review his plans to possess the grimoire before anyone else he wonders why ritsuka continues to trust Him when she notices longer should Lindo fights against a group of vampires on the roof and destroys them with his spells The Mask leader of the vampires continues to spy from hiding furious at Lindo for soiling their plans the next day the entire Buzz is around Lindo the cool transfer student from England ritsuka is still surprised that her brother would choose to enroll in her school when Lindo greets ritsuka the
other students begin to approach her to Figure out their relationship she explains that they are siblings and nothing more ritsuka continues to think about lindo's warning and the ring in class suddenly Mage breaks down the door with his kick startling everyone in class the teacher calls him to order but he ignores the teacher and heads to ritsuka he picks her up before she can react and arrives out of the class azuna attempts to stop him but he jumps out the window with ritsuka before she can Do anything the students and azuna look out the window
at Mage with ritsuka however Mage snaps his finger and something bizarre happens azuna turns around and it is as though nothing happened it was as though Mage never stepped into the classroom and and azuna was the only one with the memory or knowledge of what just happened Lindo arrives at the class a while later and ritsuka is nowhere to be found in the library Yuri complains about the Presence of Lindo in school to Shiki and REM He suggests they probe him for the location of the grimoire however REM announces that Lindo has the support of
the entire Exorcist Society he asks them to be patient and that he has plans to get the things he wants from ritsuka while playing it safe when he arrives at his table he realizes that the piece representing Mage is out of place Mage and ritsu are at the top of a very tall Mast and he teases ritsuka for being Scared of heights he jumps off the Mast but appears upon the Mast again he informs ritsuka that they are devils and that they aren't frightened of normal things that scare regular humans he frightens ritsuka with a
Sinister form and asks her to provide the position of the grimoire if she wants to live ritsuka becomes very frightened and declares that she doesn't know where the grimoire is and the bright light that suddenly emanates from The Ring clears Off M's Sinister appearance he is furious that Lindo is so preemptive and he tries a different approach he grabs ritsuka and with a snap of his finger he creates a portal that tears through the very fabric of reality he jumps into the weird portal with ritsuka and begins to sing while they go from one location
to the other they appear somewhere else and ritsuka has a change of clothes Mage treats her to a meal while complaining about how terrible human food is Mage Tells ritsuka that devils are known for telling lies and that he only intends to win ritsuka's heart with his charm and strength when Mage gets too close ritsuka runs out to use the bathroom but she escapes instead she appears in an alley and tries to find her way out but she meets a group of men who seem pretty dangerous at first glance while she gently backs away Mage
appears and scolds her for running away the thugs interrupt them with hopes to Rob them But Mage is only delighted he would have people to beat right up the thugs attack and Mage begins to fight them by himself knocking them out with a single hit while ritsuka immediately escapes Mage becomes Furious and sucks out the soul of the thugs ritsuka continues to run and she is startled when REM appears to save her REM leads RIT to his private helicopter to get her home however ritsuka has a lot of questions and mixed feelings she asks REM
how he could tell Where she is and why he is so concerned about her she asks if he is only being nice because he is a devil and she is the key to the grimoire that would Grant him ultimate power REM admits that this is true and that he has no choice but to treat ritsuka like a lawn that grants him the ultimate power he desires ritsuka becomes Furious and talks back to REM suddenly Mage arrives and attacks REM with lightning while he picks up ritsuka REM warns mage that he is acting Out of line
and warns him to let ritsuka go however Mage only attacks REM again and escapes into one of his portals before REM can react REM vows that he will find and retrieve ritsuka from Mage Mage realizes that ritsuka is all depressed and wonders why she feels bad because REM is a devil he takes her to a beach to watch the sunset and gets Carried Away by her tears she accidentally drops ritsuka Who falls into the water and Mage quickly saves Her when Mage lifts her out of the water he teleports back to school but he appears
in lindo's trap Lindo had had patiently awaited his return and trapped him with one of his spells however Lindo becomes even more Furious when he sees the worn and rumpled state of ritsuka and asks if Mage already hurt her stupid Mage continues to provoke Lindo his countenance changes right away his eyes turn red and a violent wind ripples out from him in all directions Mage leaves Ritsuka and proceeds to attack Lindo levitating and preparing to unleash a lightning attack but Lindo sends him flying with another surge of wind Mage bounces back and resumes his attacks
with with Lindo blocking off with spells of his own ritsuka realizes that Lindo is struggling to control a Sinister power within himself and she feels terrible for causing him so much hurt Mage prepares a stronger lightning strike to end the fight while Lindo Prepares an even stronger spell when they launch the attack the annoying ritsuka steps in between the attacks and asks them to stop I don't know why but the two cancel their spells to keep this annoying girl alive Lindo rushes to ritsuka to make sure she is safe and Mage leaves immediately he apologizes
for not being able to protect her and Promises to do even better ritsuka assures him that she is fine and that Mage wasn't able to hurt her because of The Sacred ring Mage arrives in the library and begins reminising about the entire day with ritsuka he finds ritsuka's company very pleasing and hopes he can compel her the next time they meet he is startled by Shiki who mocks him for getting soft and comfortable with the useless human that ought to be their Pawn Shiki announces that it is his turn to reach out to ritsuka and
he promises that he will be successful in possessing the grimoire It's another school day and azuna discusses with ritsuka ritsuka informs azuna that Lindo won't be in school because he has a business to take care of but he is such a mom that he packs ritsuka an entire meal azuna reminds ritsuka that her birthday is just a month away and they wonder how fun it would be ritsuka notices a pigeon is trapped in the hallway and she lets it fly free outside the window she comes across REM and recalls the horrible Things he said before
however REM doesn't stop to talk to her and he just walks by REM arrives in the library and he warns the others to stop acting out of turn Yuri complains that REM is being too diplomatic and has got no viable results Mage also sees a concern that the vampires are also after the grimoire and that they should beat them to the grimoire at all costs REM becomes a lot more Stern and warns them all not to go near ritsuka without his permission Anymore Shiki taunts them for always being selfish and disagreeing we learn that Shiki
is different from the others because he has wings and they don't Shiki turns to Rowan to play but the dog immediately begins to bark Shiki becomes furious at the others and he leaves the library in Anger later that day ritsuka is outside class to receive note from another student and she finds Shiki furiously ripping off flowers she attempts to stop Shiki but he pushes her Back and she injures herself with a thorn she realizes it's Shiki and she complains that she won't let anyone damage the beautiful flowers Shiki apologizes and stops ritsuka from leaving they
both go to wash their hands and remove all the Thorns ritsuka ask Shiki to be careful to remove all the Thorns that might be lodged in his blistered hands but the pain loving psycho declares he'll be delighted if the turns remain in his hands however Ritsuka scolds him for hurting himself and this impresses is Shiki he Embraces ritsuka and explains that the others are mean to him because he isn't a devil like them he is a fallen angel and this separates him from the others that are cold to him for no reason he is glad
that ritsuka is kind and even concerned about him Shiki tells ritsuka that he might have an idea of where her mom is and he attempts to lead her away however our girl uses her brand new brain for The first time and hesitates she recalls her encounters with the rest of the council members that have been nothing but frightening and disastrous so far Shiki assures ritsuka that he isn't like the others and asks her to trust him luckily azwan arrives just in time and Shiki offers that azuna can accompany them if ritsuka doesn't trust him ritsuka
agrees to follow him despite ozuna's complaints she doesn't care if Shiki is trustworthy or not she just Wants to follow any tip that leads to her mother azuna realizes that ritsuka has her mind made up and decides to accompany her they are LED down an Alleyway by Shiki meanwhile Lindo is with the Society of exorcists And discussing with his superiors they complain that the activities of the dark ones have been more rampant than usual lately and they wonder if it's because of the grimoire they also tell Lindo to stop tapping into the Sinister energy Within
him as it is a call from the Dark Side they ask Lindo to always report whatever he knows about the grimoire to them as quickly as he can Shiki and the girls arrive at a museum and the girls are quite shocked that they have a museum so close to their school azuna attacks Shiki for telling lies and leading them somewhere else entirely however Shiki asks them to observe and he steps out of view ritsuka begins to head from room to room and she soon Realizes that the museum is a maze she hears I's voice that
informs her it is a maze of memories and there's something important for her to see ritsuka continues to browse through the rooms until she finds a painting that looks Eerie She is totally absorbed by the painting and gradually walks towards it Enchanted we learn that REM and the others have their Lackey tracking the location of ritsuka's mom they find her in a building but are attacked by Vampires soon after ritsuka appears in a room the room within the painting she finds her aunt Marta outside with her lover and she hears people wishing her a happy
birthday in the Next Room however there's nothing but Darkness in the Next Room she finds another room and hears people discussing Lindo and she stares into the room to see Lindo lying beside Marta in the Next Room she finds her grandfather instructing Lindo to keep the grimoire safe from all the Devils The scene immediately changes and she sees a strange figure beckoning on her she is frightened and steps away from the stranger she appears in the museum once more with the Eerie stranger inside a painting the freak Shiki suddenly Embraces her from behind and he
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
under the influence of his telekinesis And he pulls her closer to himself he admits that ritsuka looked just like Marta her aunt Nesta explains the traits of both sisters and tells ritsuka that she is the perfect blend of both sisters he reveals that he is lindo's father and ritsuka recalls that Lindo is a doer Nesta hopes that Lindo is just like him but ritsuka retorts and tells Nesta that Lindo is not like him he taunts ritsuka by feeding from one of the ladies bound to his throne he tells ritsuka that he Never loved Marta nor
