**[00:47] Shirogane**
Oh? That girl...
**[00:52] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[00:54] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[01:02] Narrator**
Among these countless creatures
that exist all around us
**[01:09] Narrator**
are said to be some that
bare their fangs at humans.
**[01:15] Narrator**
To destroy these fiendish ayakashi,
**[01:19] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[01:24] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[01:28] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
**[03:05] Suzu**
Yum!
**[03:06] Suzu**
This is great! I'm in heaven!
***SIGN*** Episode 1: "Matsuri, Suzu, and Ayakashi"
**[03:14] Suzu**
On to the next one!
**[03:19] Shirogane**
Yes, there is no doubt.
**[03:22] Shirogane**
The more I look at this girl...
**[03:28] Shirogane**
the more I want to eat her!
**[03:31] Shirogane**
There is nobody around to stop me.
**[03:34] Shirogane**
Now is my chance.
**[03:38] Shirogane**
Who goes there?!
**[03:47] Matsuri**
Exorcist ninja, Kazamaki Matsuri.
**[03:50] Shirogane**
* An exorcist ninja?*
* From the Kazamaki Clan, no less?*
**[03:53] Matsuri**
Hup.
**[03:54] Shirogane**
Unhand me!
**[03:56] Shirogane**
I am the great Shirogane, you know?
**[03:58] Matsuri**
Like I care.
**[03:59] Matsuri**
My family deals in exorcising
ayakashi that are up to no good.
**[04:02] Shirogane**
How can you call yourself
an exorcist ninja and not know me?
**[04:05] Shirogane**
I've been around for 400 years!
**[04:08] Shirogane**
You seem to have a death wish, brat.
**[04:11] Matsuri**
You talk real big for a roly-poly flabster.
**[04:15] Matsuri**
Okay, bring it on.
**[04:20] Matsuri**
What's wrong?
You're not killing me like that.
**[04:24] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[04:27] Suzu**
What are you doing, Matsuri?
**[04:29] Suzu**
How could you pick on such a cute kitty?
**[04:31] Matsuri**
Suzu...
**[04:35] Matsuri**
Listen, that thing may look like a cat,
but it's an ayakashi.
**[04:39] Matsuri**
The sort that only we can see.
**[04:41] Suzu**
Come on, I can tell that much!
**[04:43] Matsuri**
He was eyeing you up creepily
from the shadows.
**[04:46] Matsuri**
His spiritual energy's weak,
but he's totally suspicious!
**[04:49] Suzu**
Most ayakashi are!
**[04:53] Suzu**
Look how scared he is.
**[04:55] Suzu**
You'll be okay now.
**[04:58] Suzu**
Sorry, you yummy little marshmallow, you.
**[05:01] Suzu**
You just wanted to play, right?
**[05:04] Shirogane**
Meow.
**[05:08] Suzu**
Okay, let's go.
**[05:09] Matsuri**
H-Hey!
**[05:14] Shirogane**
*He's fast!*
**[05:16] Matsuri**
Hold on a moment, Suzu!
**[05:18] Matsuri**
Like I keep telling you,
**[05:20] Matsuri**
stay away from ayakashi!
**[05:23] Matsuri**
Sure, they're visible to us,
**[05:24] Matsuri**
but they're not something
people should get involved with!
**[05:27] Matsuri**
You've only ever known
the harmless ones, so...
**[05:31] Matsuri**
Suzu... You...
**[05:33] Suzu**
Wh-What?
**[05:37] Matsuri**
Have your thighs always been this thick?!
**[05:39] Matsuri**
Don't tell me... you've already been cursed?!
**[05:45] Suzu**
You colossal idiot!
**[05:46] Suzu**
I've been really self-conscious
of them lately!
**[05:49] Shirogane**
*Is this boy stupid or what?*
**[05:51] Shirogane**
*Hmm?*
**[05:52] Shirogane**
*That log!*
**[05:54] Matsuri**
Substitution technique.
**[05:57] Matsuri**
Impressed?
**[05:58] Matsuri**
While exorcist ninja
specialize in the supernatural,
**[06:01] Matsuri**
we're still descended from ninja!
**[06:04] Suzu**
Uh, my kick landed, though?
**[06:07] Suzu**
The log's pointless.
**[06:08] Matsuri**
What? But kicking a log would've hurt your foot.
**[06:12] Suzu**
I appreciate your concern,
but it's misplaced.
**[06:16] Suzu**
Anyway, I'm gonna release him someplace safe.
**[06:21] Matsuri**
Hey, Suzu!
**[06:24] Suzu**
You weren't always like this.
**[06:27] Suzu**
And those clothes...
**[06:29] Suzu**
You're heading out
to exorcise something, right?
**[06:33] Suzu**
Well, good luck, Matsuri.
**[06:45] Shirogane**
You and that kid seemed pretty close.
**[06:47] Suzu**
Oh, you're one of the ones that can talk?
**[06:51] Suzu**
Matsuri is... Well, he's a childhood friend.
**[06:55] Suzu**
We live close by.
**[06:58] Suzu**
But more than that...
**[07:00] Suzu**
We had something big in common.
**[07:05] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
Come on out, everyone!
**[07:11] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
I know, I know.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
I'll pet you all in order.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Girl A**
Did you know?
**[07:20] (Flashback) Girl A**
That Kanade Suzu girl is a big, fat liar.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Girl B**
She says she's friends with ghosts!
**[07:25] (Flashback) Girl C**
She was laughing and talking
with nobody around.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Girl A**
Creepy!
**[07:29] (Flashback) Girl B**
Whoa, she's glaring at us!
**[07:31] (Flashback) Girl C**
Eek!
**[07:34] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
They're missing out, huh, Suzu?
**[07:38] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
They can't see all these cool things!
**[07:45] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
Right?
**[07:47] Suzu**
I was so happy.
**[07:49] Suzu**
We were special to each other—
**[07:51] Suzu**
the only friends who saw
the world the same way.
**[07:54] Suzu**
He was the only reason I didn't end up
hating everyone in grade school.
**[08:00] Suzu**
But right when we were
gonna start middle school...
**[08:04] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Damn you! Stay away from Suzu!
**[08:07] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
Stop being so mean, Matsuri!
**[08:09] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Get lost!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
Matsuri!
**[08:12] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
You gotta stop hanging around them, Suzu!
**[08:16] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
But... why?
**[08:18] (Flashback) Youngsuzu**
Why would you say that?!
**[08:24] Suzu**
I only found out later
**[08:26] Suzu**
that that was when Matsuri decided
to succeed his grandpa's line of work.
**[08:33] Suzu**
To be an exorcist ninja.
**[08:35] Suzu**
There are exorcists
that get rid of evil ayakashi.

**[09:17] Matsuri**
You were the one causing all those
traffic accidents around here, weren't you?
**[09:20] Matsuri**
Sheesh. Troublemakers like these
show up every now and then.
**[09:25] Matsuri**
I have to get rid of them
before they find out about Suzu.
**[09:27] Humanfacedspider**
I'll kill you.
**[09:29] Humanfacedspider**
I'll kill you. I'll kill you.
**[09:31] Matsuri**
Yikes. Talk about nasty!
**[09:32] Humanfacedspider**
I'll kill you.
**[09:35] Matsuri**
*But, well...*
**[09:37] Matsuri**
*It's not your fault.*
**[09:40] Matsuri**
* Malicious ayakashi are mostly*
* born from human malice.*

**[10:05] Matsuri**
Scatter in the wind, and start anew.
**[10:08] Suzu**
I mean, I get it.
**[10:09] Suzu**
I'm sure there are some bad ayakashi
out there that have to be eliminated.
**[10:14] Suzu**
But the ones around me were all nice.
**[10:17] Suzu**
He didn't have to start hating them all
just because he became an exorcist ninja.
**[10:21] Suzu**
He started driving away all
the ayakashi that came near me.
**[10:26] Shirogane**
I see.
**[10:28] Shirogane**
*That brat... He knows.*
**[10:33] Suzu**
We're starting high school tomorrow, too.
**[10:36] Suzu**
But every time we see each other
these days, all we do is fight.
**[10:41] Shirogane**
* Huh? Didn't she already*
* eat a bunch earlier?*
**[10:45] Suzu**
We're old enough to be in high
school now. Don't you think...
**[10:50] Suzu**
it's time things happened between us?
**[10:53] Suzu**
You know, things.
**[10:55] Shirogane**
*What? Is this girl in love with that brat?!*
**[10:59] Shirogane**
*Is she hoping for romance?*
**[11:02] Shirogane**
*No... Maybe even more! I can tell!*
**[11:05] Shirogane**
* These kids... going into heat*
* already? Scandalous!*
**[11:08] Shirogane**
*This is why I can't stand humans.*
**[11:11] Shirogane**
*But no matter. You two will never be mates.*
**[11:14] Shirogane**
*Because...*
**[11:19] Seigen**
Good job, Matsuri.
***SIGN*** Kazamaki
**[11:22] Matsuri**
That human-faced spider was no big deal.
**[11:27] Seigen**
How reliable you've become.
**[11:31] Matsuri**
Well, duh. It's been three years
since I started training.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Suzu**
You weren't always like this.
**[11:38] Matsuri**
Sheesh. What did Suzu even mean by that?
**[11:42] Seigen**
Hmm? What's this about Suzu-chan?
**[11:45] Matsuri**
Oh... Uh, you see...
**[11:49] Seigen**
A cat ayakashi?
**[11:52] Seigen**
Was it one you don't usually see around here?
**[11:55] Matsuri**
Yeah. She said she'd release him
somewhere safe.
**[11:58] Matsuri**
I have no idea what she saw
in that flabster.
**[12:01] Matsuri**
He called himself Shirogane, I think?
**[12:03] Matsuri**
Well, he didn't have much energy,
**[12:04] Matsuri**
so he's—
**[12:05] Seigen**
Shirogane?!
**[12:07] Matsuri**
Gramps?!
**[12:08] Matsuri**
Don't jump up like that!
Did you forget about your hernia?!
**[12:11] Seigen**
M-Matsuri...
**[12:14] Seigen**
She's in danger.
**[12:16] Seigen**
Go now!
**[12:18] Seigen**
You have talent.
**[12:21] Seigen**
But you lack the experience to see through
to an ayakashi's true nature.
**[12:26] Seigen**
The stronger the monster,
the better it is at hiding its power.
**[12:32] Seigen**
He... Shirogane is...
**[12:36] Seigen**
Master of countless evil arts,
ruler of all ayakashi in this land...
**[12:43] Seigen**
The king of ayakashi!
**[12:45] Shirogane**
That is me!
**[12:47] Suzu**
Oh? You're the king of ayakashi?
**[12:50] Suzu**
Amazing.
**[12:51] Shirogane**
I-Indeed!
**[12:54] Shirogane**
So... how dare you do this to me?!
**[12:59] Suzu**
You're totally a marshmallow to the touch!
**[13:02] Suzu**
I can't get enough!
**[13:04] Shirogane**
*This technique!*
**[13:06] Shirogane**
*She really is a perverted girl! Scandalous!*
**[13:12] Shirogane**
*But I can feel it from her fingertips...*
**[13:15] Shirogane**
* These waves of rich haku,*
* like sweet, sweet honey!*
**[13:21] Shirogane**
Amajing.
**[13:22] Shirogane**
So this is the power of an ayakashi medium.
**[13:26] Suzu**
Ayakashi medium?
**[13:28] Suzu**
What's that? Are you talking about me?
**[13:31] Shirogane**
Indeed.
**[13:32] Shirogane**
Rarely, among humans,
**[13:35] Shirogane**
appears one that life
practically seeps out from.
**[13:39] Shirogane**
Such humans possess
immense amounts of life energy.
**[13:48] Shirogane**
You will lead my power
to even greater heights,
**[13:54] Shirogane**
as the finest meal I will ever have!
**[14:03] Matsuri**
*Please be okay, Suzu!*
**[14:06] (Flashback) Seigen**
Ayakashi mediums.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Seigen**
They are so rare that not much
has been recorded about them.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Seigen**
But it's said that their vitality
is so extraordinary
**[14:18] (Flashback) Seigen**
that they lure powerful ayakashi
to human settlements.
**[14:23] (Flashback) Seigen**
And thus, those identified as ayakashi
mediums were despised by locals
**[14:28] (Flashback) Seigen**
and offered as sacrifices to the ayakashi.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Sacrifices?
**[14:33] (Flashback) Seigen**
It's all in the past now.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Seigen**
Without exorcism powers,
**[14:38] (Flashback) Seigen**
that was the only way people could
protect themselves from dangerous ayakashi.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Is Suzu really an ayakashi medium?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Is that why they're always around her?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Seigen**
Some say ayakashi tend to like mediums.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Seigen**
They don't always want to devour them.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Seigen**
Ayakashi strong enough
to devour a human are a rarity.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Seigen**
But as that girl grows
and her power increases,
**[15:07] (Flashback) Seigen**
it's highly likely she'll attract those
rarities, putting herself in danger.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Seigen**
I'm an old man.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Seigen**
There's no guarantee
I'll still be an exorcist ninja then.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Got it, Gramps.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'll become an exorcist ninja.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'm not letting Suzu become ayakashi food!
**[15:30] Matsuri**
*Suzu!*
**[15:34] Suzu**
The finest meal...?
**[15:39] Suzu**
Does that mean you're going to
try to eat me, Shirogane?
**[15:44] Shirogane**
Do I have to spell it out?
**[15:48] Suzu**
I see.
**[15:50] Suzu**
So I'm this... ayakashi medium.
**[15:56] Suzu**
Did Matsuri know?
**[15:58] Shirogane**
He must have.
**[16:00] Shirogane**
That is why he started
being wary of ayakashi.
**[16:04] Shirogane**
But he's still just a kid.
**[16:08] Shirogane**
He misread how strong I am.
**[16:12] Suzu**
*So that's how it was.*
**[16:15] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'm gonna succeed my grandpa's line of work.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'm gonna be busy with exorcist
ninja training after school.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Not today, either.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I told you, I'm not playing around
with ayakashi anymore.
**[16:27] (Flashback) Matsuri**
The ayakashi at the shrine?
I got rid of them.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Forget them, and make human friends.
**[16:33] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Hang out with the girls in your class.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Just don't get involved
with ayakashi anymore.
**[16:41] Suzu**
*Matsuri knew...*
**[16:44] Suzu**
*that it would come to this someday.*
**[16:48] Shirogane**
Ah, I can't wait any longer!
**[16:51] Shirogane**
Take great pride in becoming my sacrifice,
**[16:55] Shirogane**
ayakashi medium!
**[17:10] Suzu**
Again...
**[17:13] Suzu**
Your concern is misplaced.
**[17:18] Suzu**
If that's how it was,
**[17:20] Suzu**
you should've told me from the start!
**[17:23] Suzu**
Matsuri, you moron!
**[17:27] Matsuri**
How was I supposed to say
you're prime sacrifice material?!
**[17:31] Matsuri**
Stupid Suzu!
**[17:33] Shirogane**
Brat!
**[17:45] Shirogane**
You child!
**[17:47] Shirogane**
Try again in 400 years!
**[17:55] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[17:59] Matsuri**
Tch.
**[18:00] Matsuri**
You're good, flabster.
**[18:03] Shirogane**
Kazamaki Matsuri!
**[18:05] Shirogane**
How did you know we were here?!
**[18:09] Matsuri**
Of course I knew where Suzu would go.
**[18:13] Matsuri**
How long do you think we've been together?
**[18:18] Shirogane**
*Ugh! Such a show-off!*
**[18:21] Shirogane**
* And the girl's looking at him*
* with hearts in her eyes!*
**[18:25] Shirogane**
*She's so easy!*
**[18:27] Shirogane**
Romance at the great Shirogane's expense?
**[18:30] Shirogane**
Never in a million years, you brats!
**[18:35] Matsuri**
Enough of your nonsense!

**[19:03] Shirogane**
*A scroll within the wind?!*
**[19:06] Matsuri**
*I didn't wanna resort to this...*
**[19:08] (Flashback) Seigen**
Listen, Matsuri.
**[19:10] (Flashback) Seigen**
Don't fight Shirogane head-on.
**[19:14] (Flashback) Seigen**
He used to be worshiped as a god.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Seigen**
He's not an ayakashi you can beat.
**[19:23] (Flashback) Seigen**
Use this.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Seigen**
I've poured my power into it
for thirty years to use against Shirogane.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Seigen**
He's sure to let his guard down
because you're still a kid.

**[20:33] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[20:34] Matsuri**
Are you kidding me?
**[20:36] Matsuri**
Gramps spent thirty years on that scroll,
and even that can't seal him?
**[20:46] Matsuri**
Get back here, flabster!
**[20:51] Matsuri**
Wh-What is this...
**[20:53] Matsuri**
Why does my chest feel so heavy?
**[20:56] Suzu**
M... Ma... Matsuri?!
**[21:00] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[21:04] Suzu**
Wh-Wh-Why?!
**[21:06] Suzu**
Why do you have... such massive badonk—
**[21:09] Suzu**
I mean, why have you turned into a girl?!
**[21:12] Suzu**
Where's the boy I knew? Where's Matsuri?!
**[21:16] Matsuri**
Well... Calm down, Suzu.
**[21:19] Matsuri**
I'm still me on the inside.
**[21:23] Suzu**
How am I supposed to calm down?!
**[21:29] Shirogane**
*Damn it.*
**[21:30] Shirogane**
* I was meant to devour the medium*
* and become more powerful.*
**[21:33] Shirogane**
* But instead, most of my spiritual power*
* has been sealed away!*
**[21:38] Shirogane**
*However... I changed that brat into a girl.*
**[21:42] Shirogane**
* Now I don't have to worry*
* about them starting a romance.*
**[21:46] Shirogane**
*Serves them right!*
**[21:48] Shirogane**
*But I won't stop there!*
**[21:50] Shirogane**
*I will return to my original self*
**[21:53] Shirogane**
*and consume that girl, Kanade Suzu!*
**[21:58] Seigen**
M-Matsuri?!
**[22:00] Seigen**
Why do you have such massive badonkers?!
**[22:02] Matsuri**
Sorry, Gramps, we went over that already.
**[22:10] Seigen**
Boy, Shirogane lives up to his reputation.
**[22:16] Seigen**
"Gender Swap Awakened."
**[22:18] Seigen**
A secret art that even I
don't know how to dispel.
**[22:25] Matsuri**
Who the hell could've seen this coming?
**[22:29] Matsuri**
If I catch Shirogane,
will I go back to normal?
**[22:45] Matsuri**
S-Soft! What the hell...
**[22:49] Suzu**
Matsuri.
**[22:51] Suzu**
These are girl's...
**[22:58] Suzu**
Wh-What do you think you're doing, naked?!
You're unbelievable!
**[23:02] Matsuri**
I-I wasn't doing anything weird!
**[23:04] Suzu**
But that looked kinda lewd just now!
**[23:07] Matsuri**
It's my own body! How is that lewd?!
**[23:09] Suzu**
But it is!
**[23:10] Seigen**
Ah, youth.
**[23:14] Seigen**
* We have no choice*
* but to accept this situation.*
**[23:17] Suzu**
Anyway, hurry up and wear this!
**[23:19] Seigen**
*But depending on how things go, Matsuri...*
**[23:20] Matsuri**
What? I don't need it!
**[23:22] Suzu**
Yes, you do!
**[23:24] Matsuri**
Whoa, wait! Stop!
**[23:24] Seigen**
* You just might have to be ready*
* to give up on being a man.*
**[23:27] Suzu**
If you're gonna look like a girl,
you gotta wear it!
**[23:31] Suzu**
Hey... Stop freaking out!
**[23:32] Matsuri**
Hey...

**[00:02] Suzu**
Here, put this on. It's a sports bra.
**[00:04] Suzu**
This shouldn't be as big of a deal, right?
**[00:07] Matsuri**
I'm telling you, I don't need that crap!
**[00:09] Suzu**
Oh, come on!
**[00:10] Suzu**
You're not going braless with that size!
**[00:13] Suzu**
That's a colossal nope!
**[00:14] Matsuri**
Sheesh.
**[00:16] Matsuri**
What a pain.
**[00:19] Suzu**
He can't use my old bras
because he's bigger than me.
**[00:22] Suzu**
Wait, why do I feel so defeated?!
**[00:25] Matsuri**
Huh? What was that?
**[00:27] Suzu**
N-Nothing!
**[00:28] Suzu**
Hurry up and get dressed!
I'll do your hair up after you're done!
**[00:34] Seigen**
It's been years since she's come over
to pick up Matsuri for school.
**[00:40] Matsuri**
Ugh, this is so fluttery and uncomfortable.
**[00:46] Matsuri**
I'm ready, Gramps.
**[00:48] Seigen**
Oh, my!
**[00:50] Matsuri**
I'm off to school. Bye.
**[00:52] Suzu**
Hmm... I can't believe
how cute you turned out.
**[00:56] Seigen**
Be sure to keep Suzu-chan safe.
**[01:00] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[01:01] Matsuri**
I've got it.
**[01:07] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[01:09] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[01:14] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[01:17] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[01:22] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[01:29] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
**[03:03] Matsuri**
I never thought I'd have to
go to school as a *girl.*
**[03:07] Matsuri**
Thankfully, things worked out because
the principal's an old friend of Gramps's.
**[03:13] Matsuri**
What?
**[03:14] Suzu**
Huh? Oh...
**[03:16] Suzu**
I was just thinking you've adapted quickly.
***SIGN*** Episode 2: "Girl Friend"
**[03:19] Suzu**
To your, uh... new body, I mean.
**[03:23] Matsuri**
Well, I'd been told to be ready
for nasty surprises as an exorcist ninja.
**[03:28] Matsuri**
I'm sure this is just temporary.
**[03:30] Matsuri**
And I'm still a guy on the inside.
**[03:34] Suzu**
Yeah.
**[03:35] Suzu**
Oh, right. I just remembered what you did.
**[03:36] Suzu**
Please don't fondle yourself
like the other day.
**[03:39] Matsuri**
Drop it already!
**[03:41] Matsuri**
I mean, if you suddenly turned into a guy,
wouldn't you check yourself out?
**[03:50] Suzu**
I-I'd never!
**[03:51] Matsuri**
Didn't you just break out into a dirty grin?
**[03:54] Suzu**
Anyway, we have to find Shirogane
and make him undo your transformation.
**[03:58] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[03:59] Matsuri**
Sheesh, where'd that flabster go?
**[04:04] Suzu**
*What a weird ayakashi...*
**[04:05] Matsuri**
Don't look!
**[04:07] Suzu**
Wh-What's this all about?
**[04:09] Matsuri**
Get into the habit of ignoring ayakashi.
**[04:12] Matsuri**
There're ayakashi out there like
Shirogane who can pretend to be weak.
**[04:16] Matsuri**
You need to be wary of them all yourself.
**[04:20] Matsuri**
You get your situation now, right?
**[04:23] Suzu**
Yeah...
**[04:26] Suzu**
I get it!
**[04:29] Matsuri**
* Maybe I should start carrying sweets*
* around with me all the time.*

**[04:38] Suzu**
Hup.
**[04:39] Matsuri**
Well, don't worry.
**[04:42] Matsuri**
I'll stay more alert than ever, too.
**[04:45] Busdriver**
Departing now.
***SIGN*** Odagawahara Station
**[04:51] Suzu**
*Why's he sitting all the way back there?*
**[04:54] Suzu**
*Wait...*
**[04:54] Suzu**
*He has a smartphone?*
**[04:57] Suzu**
*I had no idea!*
**[05:00] Suzu**
* We've grown kinda distant*
* ever since he started training.*
**[05:05] Suzu**
* It'll be all weird to ask*
* for his contact details now.*
**[05:09] Suzu**
*Just because he turned into a girl*
**[05:11] Suzu**
* doesn't mean we can instantly*
* be best buds, I guess.*
***SIGN*** Hokusai High School
**[05:24] Boy A**
Yo, isn't that girl pretty cute?
**[05:27] Boy B**
Yeah.
**[05:27] Boy B**
Haven't seen her before.
What middle school did she go to?
**[05:30] Boy C**
You gotta love how she
looks kinda hard-to-get.
**[05:36] Suzu**
* We've been put in the same class, thanks*
* to his grandpa's connections, I'm sure.*
**[05:41] Suzu**
*But...*
**[05:44] Suzu**
*Knew it.*
**[05:45] Suzu**
* His face screams, "I'm not gonna*
* act all buddy-buddy at school."*
**[05:53] Yayoi**
Demonic thigh rub!
**[05:55] Suzu**
Hey!
**[05:56] Suzu**
Hey, Yayo! What are you...
**[05:56] Yayoi**
Unf! So smooth!
**[05:59] Yayoi**
Yeah, Suzu. Your thighsuzus
feel a cut above.
**[06:02] Suzu**
Wha?
**[06:04] Suzu**
Yayo!
**[06:05] Lucy**
Them juicy thighs...
**[06:07] Lucy**
Totally Grammable, Lady Suzu.
**[06:08] Suzu**
Lu!
**[06:09] Suzu**
Quit taking pictures!
**[06:11] Lucy**
Nope.
**[06:11] Suzu**
Stop! Jeez!
**[06:11] Lucy**
I'm a Grammy hunter. It's what I do.
**[06:14] Suzu**
You stop that too, Yayo! It tickles!
**[06:14] Matsuri**
* Those are Suzu's friends*
* from middle school.*
**[06:16] Yayoi**
But it feels so good!
**[06:17] Yayoi**
I'm living!
**[06:18] Matsuri**
*Do girl friends always get this touchy-feely?*
**[06:19] Suzu**
Well, I'm dying!
**[06:20] Yayoi**
Aw, too bad.
**[06:23] Matsuri**
*What a pain.*
**[06:24] Matsuri**
*Well, it's not my problem.*
**[06:27] Suzu**
* Hey! I'm dead sure he just thought,*
* "It's not my problem"!*
**[06:32] Yayoi**
Hmm? What's up?
**[06:33] Lucy**
Mm.
**[06:34] Yayoi**
You know her?
**[06:36] Yayoi**
She's not from our middle school, is she?
**[06:37] Suzu**
N-No...
**[06:39] Lucy**
Silver hair, and a pinwheel hairpin?
**[06:42] Lucy**
Talk about a unique look.
**[06:45] Suzu**
Oh, she's a fri—I mean,
acquaintance from grade school!
**[06:49] Yayoi**
Really? Did you talk to her much?
**[06:52] Lucy**
Introduce me to her!
**[06:54] Lucy**
Cute girls are my lifeblood!
**[06:57] Suzu**
Hmm... I don't know. I remember her
not being too friendly...
**[07:02] Yayoi**
Let's go say hi!
**[07:06] Matsuri**
*The wind of spiritual energy! It's close!*
**[07:09] Suzu**
Uh, listen...
**[07:13] Suzu**
*Matsuri?*
**[07:15] Yayoi**
What's wrong, Suzu?
**[07:16] Suzu**
Er... Uh...
**[07:17] Suzu**
I'm gonna go see if the school store
has any crème brûlée!
**[07:21] Yayoi**
Uh, no? That's way too fancy for school.
**[07:23] Lucy**
The store doesn't sell those.
**[07:26] Suzu**
*What happened, Matsuri?*
**[07:28] Suzu**
*Is it Shirogane?!*
**[07:30] Sujimori**
Kanade Suzu!
**[07:31] Sujimori**
No running in the halls!
**[07:33] Suzu**
I'm sorry!
**[07:35] Sujimori**
Hey! Class is about to start!
**[07:38] Suzu**
I-I know!
**[07:43] Matsuri**
You saved me the trouble
of looking for you, flabster.
**[07:46] Shirogane**
I'm here to have you hand over
the God-Sealing Scroll
**[07:50] Shirogane**
that took away my spiritual power.
**[07:52] Shirogane**
If I return to my true form,
**[07:55] Shirogane**
I can undo the Gender Swap
Awakened spell I cast on you.
**[08:00] Shirogane**
Don't you want to go back
to being a boy, Kazamaki Matsuri?
**[08:08] Matsuri**
But then...
**[08:09] Matsuri**
You're going to try
to devour Suzu again, right?
**[08:11] Shirogane**
Yeah!
**[08:12] Shirogane**
Yeah, no, I mean...
**[08:14] Shirogane**
I'm not interested anymore!
**[08:16] Matsuri**
Yeah, right!
**[08:17] Shirogane**
Tch. How'd he know?
**[08:19] Matsuri**
Try being a little less obvious!
**[08:21] Shirogane**
You!
**[08:22] Shirogane**
Do you know of the sealing tower
on Mount Giboshi?
**[08:25] Matsuri**
What?
**[08:26] Shirogane**
Around two hundred years ago,
**[08:28] Shirogane**
an ayakashi attacked nearby villages
and devoured many humans.
**[08:34] Shirogane**
That ayakashi was sealed away in there.
**[08:39] Suzu**
Where are you, Matsuri?
**[08:41] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[08:43] Shirogane**
However!
**[08:44] Shirogane**
The tower aged over time...
**[08:47] Shirogane**
So much so that I could break it easily,
even in my depleted state.
**[08:54] Matsuri**
Why, you...
**[08:55] Shirogane**
Now...
**[08:56] Shirogane**
Come on out, my servant!
**[08:59] Shirogane**
Tadare!
**[09:04] Matsuri**
Oi.
**[09:06] Shirogane**
How strange.
**[09:07] Shirogane**
The plan was for him to appear
and take the scroll from you.
**[09:13] Shirogane**
Ah!
**[09:14] Shirogane**
Don't tell me... he's trying
to snatch my prey?!
**[09:17] Matsuri (Male)**
*Oh, no!*
**[09:21] Tadare**
So this little girl, the ayakashi medium?
**[09:25] Tadare**
Yes, she smell delicious.
**[09:30] Tadare**
If I eat her,
**[09:31] Tadare**
I replace that bossy cat
and become king of ayakashi!
**[09:37] Tadare**
You mine!
**[09:41] Suzu**
Matsuri?!
**[09:48] Tadare**
No interfere!
**[09:55] Matsuri**
Kazamaki-Style Exorcist Ninja Art:
**[09:57] Matsuri**
Whirling Sickle Blade!
**[10:06] Shirogane**
*Tadare, you fool!*
**[10:09] Shirogane**
* It seems that my authority as the king*
* of ayakashi is useless in this form.*
**[10:14] Shirogane**
*Either way, he defeated Tadare in one blow?*
**[10:20] Suzu**
Th-Thanks, Matsuri.
**[10:23] Suzu**
You saved me again.
**[10:27] Suzu**
*Even as a girl, he's colossally cool!*
**[10:31] Matsuri**
Sorry, Suzu.
**[10:34] Matsuri**
I was too naïve.
**[10:36] Matsuri**
I thought we only had
to be wary of Shirogane.
**[10:39] Matsuri**
I wasn't expecting this.
**[10:41] Suzu**
Y-Yeah?
**[10:42] Matsuri**
So... Do me a favor.
**[10:45] Matsuri**
It's our only option now!
**[10:50] Yayoi**
This is great! I'm glad we got
to talk to you so soon.
**[10:53] Lucy**
I was hoping to get to know you better.
**[10:56] Matsuri**
R-Right...
**[10:57] Yayoi**
I'm Toba Yayoi. Just Yayo's fine by me.
**[11:00] Lucy**
Tsukioka Lucy. Please call me Lu.
**[11:04] Matsuri**
Yayo and Lu, huh?
**[11:06] Matsuri**
The name's Matsuri. Kazamaki Matsuri.
**[11:09] Yayoi**
What are you, a spy? Woohoo!
**[11:10] Yayoi**
A tomboy *and* a huge rack! That's a first!
**[11:12] Lucy**
Not just silver hair and a pinwheel,
but also a choker?
**[11:16] Lucy**
You're Grammable AF, Lady Matsuri!
**[11:19] Matsuri**
"Grammable"? "AF"?
**[11:22] Suzu**
*I can't believe Matsuri suggested this.*
**[11:25] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Let me become one
of your girl friends, Suzu.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Matsuri**
That way, I can protect you better.
**[11:31] Suzu**
*Is this okay?*
**[11:34] Suzu**
*Matsuri is a boy.*
**[11:37] Suzu**
*But...*
**[11:39] Suzu**
*I can have this, as a treat.*
**[11:42] Matsuri**
Too close.
**[11:43] Suzu**
It's normal.
**[11:44] Suzu**
It's not weird for girl friends
to sit like this.
**[11:47] Suzu**
I added my ID to your contacts.
***SIGN*** Girl Friends

**[11:49] Suzu**
We're *girl friends,* after all!
**[11:51] Matsuri**
F-Fine.
**[11:53] Matsuri**
I'll play the perfect girl in public.
**[11:56] Matsuri**
*Anything to protect Suzu!*
**[12:02] Shirogane**
* Kazamaki Matsuri...*
* He's tougher than I thought.*
**[12:06] Shirogane**
*But I've already got my next plan laid out.*
**[12:13] Seigen**
Oh, Shirogane tried that?
**[12:17] Seigen**
Well, despite his all-powerful aura,
**[12:20] Seigen**
he's always been a funny character,
with a stupid side to him.
**[12:25] Matsuri**
Say.
**[12:26] Matsuri**
What kinda relationship
do you and Shirogane have?
**[12:29] Matsuri**
You seem to know him well.
**[12:32] Seigen**
In my younger days, I spent over
a decade fighting against him.
**[12:38] Seigen**
He was an ayakashi so feared and respected
that they worshiped him in a shrine.
**[12:44] Seigen**
But after a certain point in time,
he suddenly became much wilder, more violent.
**[12:49] Seigen**
I'd heard that he had stopped
interacting with humans ever since.
**[12:53] Seigen**
Who could've predicted he would
set his sights on Suzu-chan?
**[12:56] Matsuri**
Is an ayakashi medium that desirable?
**[13:00] Seigen**
Yes.
**[13:01] Seigen**
I imagine that Suzu-chan's life force,
her reserve of haku,
**[13:05] Seigen**
has grown far larger than we could imagine.
**[13:12] Suzu**
What? "Kon" and "haku"?
**[13:15] Matsuri**
Yeah. Kon is spiritual energy,
***SIGN*** Kon
***SIGN*** Kon
***SIGN*** Kon
**[13:18] Matsuri**
and haku is physical energy.
***SIGN*** Haku
***SIGN*** Haku
***SIGN*** Haku
**[13:21] Matsuri**
All humans have a combination of the two.
**[13:24] Suzu**
R-Right...
**[13:26] Matsuri**
The rare ones that have haku energy levels
off the charts are ayakashi mediums.
**[13:31] Matsuri**
If an ayakashi devours one,
**[13:33] Matsuri**
it'll gain incredible power.
**[13:36] Matsuri**
That's why Shirogane, and that Tadare
from yesterday, came after you.
**[13:41] Suzu**
I don't really get it, but...
**[13:44] Suzu**
You're saying I'm like a super-rare,
monstrously high-calorie dessert?
**[13:48] Matsuri**
Why do you sound so happy about it?
**[13:51] Suzu**
Tehehe.
**[13:53] Matsuri**
Don't "tehehe" me!
**[13:55] Matsuri**
I'm telling you to be careful!
**[13:58] Matsuri**
Yeesh, that Suzu.
**[14:00] Matsuri**
She doesn't know the kind of danger she's in!
***SIGN*** No running in the halls
**[14:04] Boy D**
You know that Kazamaki
Matsuri girl in Class A?
**[14:07] Boy E**
Oh, the tomboy?
She's pretty cute, if flashy.
**[14:11] Boy F**
Lucy-chan's clearly the top pick in Class A.
**[14:15] Matsuri**
I'm busting!
**[14:17] Matsuri**
Need to take a leak!
**[14:19] Matsuri**
Or I'm gonna spring one!
**[14:21] Matsuri**
Yikes!
**[14:23] Matsuri**
Wait, what?
**[14:25] Matsuri**
*Yikes...*
**[14:28] Sujimori**
Not again!
**[14:29] Sujimori**
Kazamaki Matsuri!
**[14:32] Sujimori**
How many times must I tell you
this is the *boys'* bathroom?!
**[14:35] Matsuri**
Ow, Teach! It was an accident, I swear!
**[14:40] Yayoi**
Accidentally going into the boys' bathroom?
She's really into that tomboy role!
**[14:43] Lucy**
Risking yourself for the memes...
**[14:46] Lucy**
Much respect, Lady Matsuri!
**[14:48] Suzu**
*Idiot.*
**[14:48] Yayoi**
Nice!
**[14:59] Seigen**
You seem to be having a much harder time
with this than with fighting ayakashi.
**[15:03] Matsuri**
I-It's no big deal.
**[15:06] Seigen**
That's the spirit.
**[15:08] Seigen**
Anyway, I should get going to
the neighborhood meeting.
**[15:11] Seigen**
I need to thank a lot of people
for getting you into school in that form.
**[15:17] Matsuri**
Sure.
**[15:18] Matsuri**
Take care of your back.
**[15:24] Matsuri**
Guess I'll take a bath.
**[15:31] Matsuri**
Oh, come on...
**[15:33] Matsuri**
Ow!
**[15:37] Matsuri**
I'm beat.
**[15:45] Matsuri**
*Being a girl is hard.*
**[15:50] Matsuri**
*Suzu keeps nagging me, too.*
**[15:57] (Flashback) Suzu**
Hey, Matsuri!
**[15:59] (Flashback) Suzu**
Don't spread your legs like that!
**[16:01] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Suzu**
Watch your skirt when you use the stairs!
**[16:05] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Suzu**
Fasten all your chest buttons!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Suzu**
R-Right.
**[16:13] Matsuri**
* Well, I know it's kinda weird*
* to say so myself,*
**[16:17] Matsuri**
*but I do have a pretty bangin' bod.*
**[16:20] Matsuri**
*Maybe I should be more careful.*
**[16:25] Matsuri**
I see... So that's what's
going on down there...
**[16:29] Suzu**
Matsuri?
**[16:30] Matsuri**
*Ack!*
**[16:33] Matsuri**
Suzu?!
**[16:34] Matsuri**
Wh-What are you thinking?
Ayakashi are more active at night!
**[16:38] Matsuri**
You can't be wandering around!
**[16:40] Matsuri**
I know we live close by, but still!
**[16:44] Matsuri**
Hey...
**[16:46] Matsuri**
What's wrong, Suzu?
**[16:48] Suzu**
I got worried.
**[16:50] Suzu**
About the scroll that
sealed Shirogane's power.
**[16:54] Suzu**
He'll probably come after it again, right?
**[16:57] Matsuri**
Probably.
**[16:59] Matsuri**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:00] Matsuri**
That's why I have it with me at all times.
**[17:05] Matsuri**
If he comes for it, I'll fight him off.
**[17:08] Matsuri**
Look...
**[17:09] Matsuri**
I even brought it into the bath with me.
**[17:12] Matsuri**
What a pain, huh?
**[17:13] Shirogane**
Oh?
**[17:15] Shirogane**
There it is.
**[17:17] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[17:19] Matsuri**
Smoke of spiritual energy!
**[17:22] Matsuri**
The God-Sealing Scroll!
**[17:24] Matsuri**
Sh... Shirogane!
**[17:27] Shirogane**
You fool.
**[17:28] Shirogane**
You were so deceived
by Kanade Suzu's appearance
**[17:30] Shirogane**
that you failed to detect
my spiritual energy!
**[17:32] Matsuri**
You damn shapeshifter!
**[17:34] Matsuri**
What are you, a tanuki?!
**[17:36] Shirogane**
I can still transform,
even in my weakened state!
**[17:41] Shirogane**
The God-Sealing Scroll is mine,
Kazamaki Matsuri!
**[17:46] Shirogane**
* A human girl could never*
* chase after me naked.*
**[17:50] Shirogane**
* Now's my chance to release the seal*
* and return to my original form!*
**[17:54] Shirogane**
What?!
**[17:56] Shirogane**
How scandalous!
**[17:59] Shirogane**
*Oh, right.*
**[18:00] Shirogane**
*He's a boy on the inside.*
**[18:01] Shirogane**
* He doesn't care about*
* being stark naked, huh?*
**[18:04] Shirogane**
But do you really call yourself
a decent human being,

Kazamaki Matsuri?!

**[19:01] Suzu**
We're both girls...
**[19:04] Suzu**
*Matsuri was so cool back then.*
**[19:07] Suzu**
*If he never goes back to being a guy,*
**[19:10] Suzu**
*could I still have the hots for Matsuri?*
**[19:12] Suzu**
*Am I...*
**[19:14] Suzu**
*No, wait! What am I thinking?!*
**[19:16] Suzu**
* Matsuri didn't become a girl*
* because he wanted to!*
**[19:20] Suzu**
*But then... What do I do?*
**[19:24] Shirogane**
Free me!
**[19:24] Shirogane**
Free me at once!
**[19:27] Matsuri**
Ugh, finally caught you.
**[19:30] Shirogane**
Animal abuse!
**[19:31] Shirogane**
Are you really going to kill
this adorable animal?!
**[19:33] Matsuri**
Adorable, my ass!
You're the king of ayakashi!
**[19:36] Matsuri**
Okay, say your prayers.
**[19:39] Matsuri**
I'm gonna scatter you into the wind.
**[19:40] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[19:42] Matsuri**
Suzu!
**[19:43] Shirogane**
Hello, ayakashi medium!
Looking tasty as always...
**[19:47] Matsuri**
Do you realize you're about to die?
**[19:49] Suzu**
You can't exorcise Shirogane, Matsuri!
**[19:52] Suzu**
If Shirogane's gone,
**[19:54] Suzu**
your transformation may never be undone!
**[19:58] Suzu**
So you can't!
**[20:01] Shirogane**
*Chance!*
**[20:03] Shirogane**
* I'll get out of this pickle using*
* my superior survival skills!*
**[20:12] Matsuri**
Hey! Have you no pride, king of ayakashi?!
**[20:15] Shirogane**
Hmph! The girl is right!
**[20:19] Shirogane**
If you kill me,
**[20:20] Shirogane**
the spell will become a curse,
and you'll stay a girl forever.
**[20:28] Matsuri**
Outta the way, Suzu.
**[20:30] Matsuri**
I've gotta exorcise him.
**[20:32] Suzu**
Matsuri? But...
**[20:36] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[20:37] Shirogane**
*My superior survival skills failed!*
**[20:41] Shirogane**
*He's serious!*
**[20:44] Matsuri**
I have to do it.
**[20:45] Matsuri**
Even if I stay a girl forever.
**[20:49] Matsuri**
Any ayakashi that brings harm to humans...
**[20:54] Matsuri**
It's my duty to exorcise it!
**[21:04] Matsuri**
S-Suzu?!
**[21:06] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[21:07] Suzu**
Don't accept it so easily!
**[21:11] Suzu**
You turned into a girl because of me.
**[21:14] Suzu**
If you never go back to being a boy,
**[21:18] Suzu**
then I won't be able to live with myself!
**[21:23] Suzu**
But I don't know what to do about it...
**[21:28] Matsuri**
* If I think not as an exorcist ninja,*
* but as her girl friend, Kazamaki Matsuri...*
**[21:33] Matsuri**
*What would I say?*
**[21:37] Matsuri**
Sheesh.
**[21:39] Matsuri**
You're always so stubborn.
**[21:41] Matsuri**
There's no point arguing,
because you never change your mind!
**[21:45] Suzu**
So you'll...
**[21:45] Matsuri**
But that doesn't mean
I can let him roam free.
**[21:47] Shirogane**
Badump! Badump!
**[21:49] Suzu**
But...
**[21:51] Matsuri**
Fine. I know.
**[21:54] Matsuri**
Shirogane!
**[21:55] Matsuri**
Starting today, I'm taking you in as a pet!
**[21:57] Suzu**
Whoa!
**[21:59] Shirogane**
Eek!
**[22:00] Shirogane**
Meow!

*Matsuri took my feelings into account.*
**[00:16] Suzu**
*I should repay him.*
**[00:19] Suzu**
Hmm, but what can I do?
**[00:24] (Flashback) Shirogane**
Take great pride in becoming my sacrifice,
**[00:28] (Flashback) Shirogane**
ayakashi medium!
**[00:33] Suzu**
Shirogane wants to devour me, right?
**[00:36] Suzu**
If I give him something even yummier than I am,
**[00:40] Suzu**
won't that solve everything?
**[00:48] Suzumom**
Suzu?
**[00:49] Suzumom**
What are you making at this hour?
**[00:51] Suzu**
Oh, I just had a flash of inspiration.
**[00:55] Suzumom**
Dango?
**[01:00] Suzu**
Yum!
**[01:01] Suzu**
Delicious, if I do say so myself!
**[01:04] Suzu**
Okay, this should make Shirogane happy!
**[01:11] Narrator**
Ayakashi.

Strange beasts, invisible to man.

To destroy the fiendish ayakashi

Be a good pet and behave.

*Everyone!*

* Thanks for coming to my*

**[04:00] Seigen**
I never thought I'd be
living together with you.
**[04:04] Run**
*Hello again! I'm Run!*
**[04:06] Run**
* I've been looking forward*
* to seeing you all so much!*
**[04:06] Shirogane**
You've gotten old, Kazamaki Seigen.
**[04:10] Run**
* I'm going to do my best to make this*
* a great show, so please cheer me on!*
**[04:10] Shirogane**
Are you retired now?
**[04:12] Seigen**
Matsuri has taken over for me.
**[04:15] Seigen**
Now I just spend my days watching
idol videos and playing games.
**[04:20] Shirogane**
Your successor is a crazy one.
**[04:23] Shirogane**
Who tries to make the king
of ayakashi their pet cat?
**[04:28] Matsuri**
It's not like I wanted to!
**[04:31] Matsuri**
Suzu may have stopped me,
but I wasn't gonna let you run free.
**[04:36] Matsuri**
I'm just keeping you under my watch
in exchange for sparing your life.
**[04:40] Shirogane**
Making breakfast wearing an apron?
**[04:43] Shirogane**
Your femininity has gone up.
**[04:45] Shirogane**
Gender Swap Awakened
is a cruel technique indeed.
**[04:50] Matsuri**
I've always done the housework,
because it's just been me and Gramps!
**[05:00] Matsuri**
Come on. I made food for you, too.
**[05:05] Shirogane**
What?
**[05:06] Matsuri**
As an ayakashi, you don't need to eat.
**[05:09] Matsuri**
But you're a part of this household now.
**[05:11] Shirogane**
You...
**[05:13] Shirogane**
*I thought he was just an annoying brat,*
**[05:18] Shirogane**
*but he's got a likable side to him, too.*
**[05:22] Matsuri**
Okay, time to eat.
**[05:25] Shirogane**
How dare you serve leftover trash
to the king of ayakashi?!
**[05:27] Matsuri**
Be grateful you're getting fed at all!
**[05:29] Shirogane**
What if it upsets my stomach?!
**[05:33] Suzu**
Morning!
**[05:34] Matsuri**
Suzu.
**[05:35] Suzu**
I figured this would happen,
**[05:37] Suzu**
which is why I brought a colossally
yummy offering for Shirogane.
**[05:41] Shirogane**
Hmph!
**[05:42] Shirogane**
An offering? I like your attitude,
ayakashi medium.
**[05:46] Shirogane**
So, what is it?
**[05:50] Suzu**
Suzu's handmade kibi dango!
**[05:52] Suzu**
AKA Suzu Dango!
**[05:56] Shirogane**
Kibi dango?!
**[05:58] Suzu**
I looked up the recipe online.
**[06:00] Suzu**
They turned out so nice, I got hooked, too.
**[06:04] Shirogane**
What I truly want to eat is you!
**[06:07] Shirogane**
If you think you can domesticate me
like some stupid animal in a folktale...
**[06:16] Shirogane**
* This springy texture,*
* much like Kanade Suzu's thighs!*
**[06:20] Shirogane**
*This subtle sweetness!*
**[06:22] Shirogane**
* As they're handmade, the ayakashi medium's*
* life energy accentuates the flavor.*
**[06:28] Shirogane**
*Oh, I'm head over heels!*
**[06:34] Suzu**
Do you like 'em?
**[06:35] Shirogane**
They're so-so.
**[06:37] Suzu**
I'll make some for you every day,
so will you give up on eating me?
**[06:41] Shirogane**
No way. Not happening.
**[06:43] Suzu**
Tch.
***SIGN*** Suzu
***SIGN*** It's fine. Don't worry.
***SIGN*** If I can become true

**[06:54] Matsuri**
F-Friends? With that flabster?
**[06:59] Matsuri**
*What the... Are you for real, Suzu?*
**[07:04] Shirogane**
Give me more!
**[07:05] Suzu**
Hmm, I don't know!
**[07:07] Shirogane**
I want more! More!
**[07:07] Seigen**
She's a brave girl.
**[07:10] Seigen**
She's not at all afraid of the ayakashi
that tried to devour her.
**[07:15] Seigen**
No wonder she's your idol, the one you've
adored and been a fan of all these years.
**[07:21] Matsuri**
I-Idol? What's with that metaphor?
**[07:23] Matsuri**
It's not like that.
**[07:25] Seigen**
Really?
**[07:27] Seigen**
When you were young,
you were terrified of ayakashi.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
There!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Gramps!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
A ghost... There's a ghost!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Not again! They're so scary!
**[08:02] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Why can I see ghosts?
**[08:05] (Flashback) Seigenyounger**
It means that you have the potential
to exorcise ayakashi, too.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
No... I don't wanna see them...
**[08:14] (Flashback) Seigenyounger**
Matsuri.
**[08:16] (Flashback) Seigenyounger**
You mustn't fear them.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Seigenyounger**
They like mischief.
They'll come scare you for fun.
**[08:23] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Easy for you to say!
**[08:33] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Go away!
**[08:34] (Flashback) Chochi**
Gonna eat you!
**[08:37] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Stop that, Chochi.
**[08:40] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Don't pick on him. That's mean.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Come here.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Sorry.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
He's mischievous, but he's not evil.
**[08:51] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Forgive him.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Wait, can you see them?
**[08:58] (Flashback) Youngmatsuri**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
It's okay. Don't be afraid.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
Look, they're all nice.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Suzuchild**
You can be friends with them, too.
**[09:10] Youngmatsuri**
*The ayakashi are all listening to her...*
**[09:15] Youngmatsuri**
*Wow!*
**[09:17] Youngmatsuri**
*She's super cool!*
**[09:22] Seigen**
You idolize Suzu-chan.
**[09:25] Seigen**
So to keep her safe,
**[09:28] Suzu**
Wow, nice catch.
**[09:28] Seigen**
you would even consider
staying as a girl forever.
**[09:33] Seigen**
But...
**[09:35] Seigen**
You can't remain an idol
and her passionate fan forever.
**[09:39] Seigen**
I believe it's not what she wants.
**[09:42] Matsuri**
S-Seriously, what's all this
about idols and fans?
**[09:46] Seigen**
I mean you'll never get closer if you keep
watching her from the audience seats.
**[09:53] Matsuri**
What does that even mean?
**[09:54] Seigen**
Sheesh.
**[09:58] Matsuri**
Who's there?!
**[10:05] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[10:06] Suzu**
What's wrong?
**[10:08] Suzu**
A bird's feather?
**[10:09] Shirogane**
No, that belongs to an ayakashi.
**[10:12] Matsuri**
Damn it. Another ayakashi out to get Suzu?
**[10:14] Seigen**
Not necessarily, Matsuri.
**[10:18] Seigen**
It could also be a familiar—
an ayakashi serving one of our colleagues.
**[10:25] Matsuri**
Colleagues?
**[10:26] Suzu**
An exorcist ninja, you mean?
**[10:28] Seigen**
I hope this doesn't spell trouble...
**[10:44] Ponosuke**
Master!
**[10:46] Ponosuke**
My apologies, Master!
**[10:48] Ponosuke**
I was spotted.
**[10:50] Soga**
You naive fool.
**[10:54] Soga**
We're dealing with the Kazamaki clan.
I warned you to be careful.
**[11:07] Soga**
Anyway...
**[11:09] Soga**
What unfortunate news.
**[11:11] Soga**
Kazamaki Matsuri... It seems...
**[11:14] Soga**
I must put an end to him.

Hmm... If there's an occult club,
that might be good.
**[11:30] Yayoi**
Suzu, Matsuri, have you two decided already?
**[11:32] Suzu**
Well... I think instead of club activities,
I'm just going straight home.
**[11:36] Matsuri**
I've got stuff to do outside of school, too.
**[11:38] Yayoi**
What, like a job?
**[11:40] Yayoi**
Ooh, let me guess!
**[11:43] Yayoi**
At a maid cafe, right?
**[11:44] Matsuri**
There aren't any in this town.
**[11:47] Yayoi**
Delivering things, then?
**[11:49] Matsuri**
I can run faster than that.
**[11:51] Lucy**
You're kinda serious, so you could make

**[11:55] Matsuri**

*So that's Kazamaki Matsuri!*

*Because...*
***SIGN*** Six Months Ago

You're late. You were supposed
to be here ages ago.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Matsuri**
My bad. I got lost.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Gramps told me about you.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Matsuri**
You're the heir to the lightning-fast
Ninokuru exorcist ninja clan, right?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'm Kazamaki Matsuri.
It's my first day on the job.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Nice to meet you.
**[12:34] (Flashback) Soga**
Nice to meet me? How asinine.
**[12:36] (Flashback) Soga**
An exorcism mission isn't a picnic.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Soga**
I'm simply here to lead you,
a rookie, as ordered by the Masters.
**[12:43] (Flashback) Soga**
Our sole objective is to exterminate
the ayakashi causing harm to people.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Soga**
If you hold me back,
I won't hesitate to abandon you!

How are things on your end, rookie?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Soga**
If you're having trouble,
I don't mind helping...
**[13:27] (Flashback) Soga**
He's strong!
**[13:31] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'm not done!
**[13:32] Soga**
*I was convinced.*
**[13:34] Soga**
* We could be exorcist ninja friends*
* who compete with and better each other...*
**[13:39] Soga**
*We could be rivals!*
**[13:42] Soga**
*And yet...*
**[13:45] Yayoi**
Just look at how stacked you are!
**[13:48] Matsuri**
Wh-Wha...
**[13:49] Lucy**
Love that expression. So Grammable.
**[13:51] Matsuri**
Suzu! Help!
**[13:53] Suzu**
Yayo... Stop it...
**[13:55] Soga**
*Look at you now, my rival!*
**[13:58] Soga**
* I was so excited when I heard*
* you were coming to this school.*
**[14:03] Soga**
*I thought we could train together.*
**[14:07] Ponosuke**
Master!
**[14:08] Soga**
Ponosuke. Where's the target?
**[14:11] Ponosuke**
Grooming himself pon a courtyard bench
without a care in the world.
**[14:15] Soga**
Are you okay with me killing him,
the king of ayakashi?
**[14:19] Ponosuke**
Pof course! You are my one
and only master, Soga-sama.
**[14:24] Soga**
I see.
**[14:28] Soga**
*The notorious king of ayakashi, Shirogane!*
**[14:32] Boy A**
Eek!
**[14:34] Boy A**
This is all the money I have!
So let me go, Ninokuru-san!
**[14:37] Soga**
Don't want it.
**[14:38] Ponosuke**
* Master's face looks so scary,*
* the students think he's a violent ponk.*
**[14:44] Shirogane**
Sigh, this is a problem.
**[14:47] Shirogane**
* As long as Matsuri holds the scroll,*
* I need to keep a close eye on him.*
**[14:52] Shirogane**
* I suppose I'll have to act like his pet*
* and wait for my opportunity.*
**[15:00] Shirogane**
*How odd.*
**[15:01] Shirogane**
*He acts as though he can see me.*
**[15:05] Matsuri**
I got groped to hell and back.
**[15:08] Matsuri**
Are girls always like this?
**[15:10] Suzu**
Of course not.
**[15:12] Matsuri**
I don't like her very much...
**[15:15] Suzu**
Yayo can get a bit too touchy-feely.
**[15:18] Suzu**
Anyway, where'd Shirogane go?
**[15:20] Suzu**
I was gonna give him more
kibi dangos for lunch.
**[15:27] Suzu**
He can see ayakashi?
**[15:30] Matsuri**
He's in this school, too?
**[15:32] Suzu**
You know him?
**[15:34] Soga**
Exorcist ninja...
**[15:35] Soga**
Ninokuru Soga.
**[15:37] Soga**
I'll finish you off in place
of that spineless Kazamaki!
**[15:41] Shirogane**
*The Ninokuru clan?!*
**[15:44] Shirogane**
*Around these parts,*
**[15:45] Shirogane**
* they're just as well-known for exorcising*
* ayakashi as the Kazamaki clan!*
**[15:49] Soga**
Oh? Even in his weakened state,
he's pretty fast.
**[15:56] Matsuri**
Ninokuru-senpai!
**[15:57] Soga**
Kazamaki?
**[15:58] Soga**
I'm so disappointed in you!
**[16:01] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[16:01] Soga**
Do you remember our first
mission together, six months ago?
**[16:06] Soga**
We were attacked by a surprisingly
tough herd of ayakashi.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Soga**
Kazamaki, are you alive?
**[16:20] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Matsuri**
This is a little too hardcore
for a debut mission.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Soga**
This is no time for posturing!
**[16:29] (Flashback) Soga**
Leave it to me.
**[16:31] (Flashback) Soga**
This mission was more than you could handle.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Soga**
Run away.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Matsuri**
What are you talking about?
**[16:39] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Like hell I'm running away!
**[16:55] (Flashback) Soga**
Let's do this!
**[16:59] Soga**
What impressed me wasn't your strength.
**[17:03] Soga**
It was the conviction you showed
**[17:05] Soga**
to never stand for ayakashi that terrorize
humans, no matter how dire the situation.
**[17:10] Soga**
You made a mistake and got
turned into a girl, so be it.
**[17:13] Soga**
But just because you want to go back
to being a guy, a personal reason,
**[17:17] Soga**
you would let a dangerous
ayakashi live? Inexcusable.
**[17:21] Soga**
Suit up!
**[17:25] Soga**
I'm going to finish him off.
**[17:28] Matsuri**
Ninokuru-senpai...
**[17:30] Soga**
And I'll put an end
to the male Kazamaki Matsuri.
**[17:33] Soga**
Give it up.
**[17:34] Matsuri**
Hey, wai—
**[17:35] Soga**
*You can never match my lightning speed!*
**[17:40] Matsuri**
*He's always so fast! Shirogane's gonna...*
***SIGN*** SLOW DOWN
**[17:52] Matsuri**
Oh, well.
**[17:54] Matsuri**
That'll get rid of one threat to Suzu.
**[18:00] Suzu**
If Shirogane is exorcised,
Matsuri will be a girl forever.
**[18:06] Suzu**
Please, Matsuri, bring him back
safe and sound.
**[18:11] Shirogane**
*What is with that boy?*
**[18:13] Shirogane**
*I can't reason with him!*
**[18:16] Shirogane**
* In my original form, I would have driven*
* him off with one paw tied behind my back!*
**[18:23] Shirogane**
I should be fine here.
**[18:26] Shirogane**
Phew, I'll give you a break for today.
**[18:34] Shirogane**
Give *me* a break!
**[18:36] Soga**
Die!
**[18:38] Soga**
Oh, you dodged that attack?
**[18:41] Shirogane**
*I-It was just dumb luck!*
**[18:44] Soga**
The next one won't miss.
**[18:46] Soga**
You've used up the last of your nine lives!
**[18:54] Soga**
The wind?
***SIGN*** DANGER SLOW DOWN
**[18:56] Soga**
* He used it to fly and took*
* the shortest route here?*
**[19:00] Matsuri**
Sorry, Ninokuru-senpai.
**[19:02] Matsuri**
I really can't have him dying on me.
**[19:04] Soga**
You choose your own circumstances
over your duty as an exorcist ninja?
**[19:13] Soga**
I came to respect you
**[19:15] Soga**
because I felt that
endlessly blazing hurricane
**[19:18] Soga**
blowing inside of you!
**[19:21] Matsuri**
Ninokuru-senpai...
**[19:27] Matsuri**
I have this stubborn
childhood friend, you see.
**[19:29] Soga**
What of it?
**[19:33] Matsuri**
She—Kanade Suzu—is an ayakashi medium.
**[19:39] Sogo**
An ayakashi medium?!
**[19:40] Matsuri**
So this guy's out to get her.
**[19:43] Matsuri**
He wants to devour Suzu's haku
**[19:45] Matsuri**
to return to his original self.
**[19:49] Matsuri**
And yet, she...
**[19:52] Matsuri**
She's seriously trying to become
friends with Shirogane!
**[19:57] Matsuri**
All so I can go back to being a guy.
**[20:00] Matsuri**
I still think there's no
middle ground with him,
**[20:03] Matsuri**
and that he should be exterminated.
**[20:06] Matsuri**
But I don't wanna go against her wishes.
**[20:12] Matsuri**
Because Suzu's existence
is the eye of my hurricane!
**[20:18] Soga**
You'll let Shirogane live
for the sake of that ayakashi medium?
**[20:23] Soga**
You naive fool.
**[20:24] Soga**
Then,
**[20:25] Soga**
you leave me no choice!
**[20:32] Soga**
I-I-I-I'll defeat you, and...
**[20:41] Soga**
Fine, I understand your reasoning!
I'm putting this matter on hold!
**[20:45] Matsuri**
Huh? H-Hey! What's gotten into you?!
**[20:47] Shirogane**
It's because you gave him
an eyeful of your panties!
**[20:50] Shirogane**
Scandalous!
**[20:54] Ponosuke**
Did you exporcise him, Master?
**[20:57] Soga**
I'm a naive fool!

What are you doing?!
**[21:11] Suzu**
I'm so glad you're okay.
**[21:13] Shirogane**
Unhand me, girl!
**[21:16] Suzu**
You must be hungry.
**[21:18] Suzu**
Here.
**[21:20] Shirogane**
Chomp, chomp, gulp!
**[21:21] Suzu**
Good?
**[21:22] Shirogane**
I went through hell today,
so I'm only eating to feel alive!
**[21:28] Shirogane**
* Ah, the ayakashi medium's*
* life energy is filling me up!*
**[21:33] Suzu**
Tch. I'll have to experiment more.
**[21:35] Matsuri**
Hey, not an ounce of concern for me?
**[21:38] Suzu**
Thanks, Matsuri.
**[21:41] Suzu**
I...
**[21:42] Suzu**
I promise I'll become friends
with him. You'll see.
**[21:53] Shirogane**
Give me more!
**[21:56] Suzu**
Eek.
**[21:57] Matsuri**
* In the end, nothing's changed,*
* but that's fine.*

**[00:02] Suzu**
Huh...
**[00:04] Suzu**
So this Ninokuru-senpai person agreed
with leaving Shirogane alive?
**[00:10] Matsuri**
Said he's putting the matter on hold.
**[00:12] Matsuri**
Probably meant he'd exorcise him immediately
if he got up to any funny business.
**[00:16] Suzu**
Oh. We'd better tell Shirogane
to be a good boy.
**[00:20] Matsuri**
"A good boy"? He's an ayakashi, you know?
**[00:24] Suzu**
That aside, I'm surprised you and your grandpa
aren't the only exorcist ninjas out there.
**[00:30] Matsuri**
Come on, just one of us
couldn't handle everything.
**[00:32] Matsuri**
Though, around these parts,
it's just us and Senpai's family.
**[00:36] Suzu**
Huh...
**[00:37] Suzu**
Come to think of it, I don't know
anything about exorcist ninjas.
**[00:43] Matsuri**
Well, there's no need for you to know.
**[00:46] Suzu**
True, but...
**[00:48] Matsuri**
Oh, the bus is here.
**[00:51] Suzu**
* If only he'd tell me more*
* about ayakashi and exorcism.*
**[00:56] Suzu**
*I could be more useful that way, too.*
**[01:05] Soga**
So that's Kanade Suzu...
The ayakashi medium.
**[01:12] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[01:14] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[01:19] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[01:22] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[01:27] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[01:34] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!

Sorry, Matsuri!
**[03:52] Yayoi**
B-But that's so cool! I never took you
for the fundoshi type.
**[03:57] Matsuri**
I don't like it when people
get too touchy-feely with me.
**[04:00] Yayoi**
Oh, uh, I didn't do that on purpose...
**[04:07] Yayoi**
Oh, no! Matsuri hates me!
What do I do, Suzu?!
**[04:11] Suzu**
I'm sure she was just surprised.
**[04:14] Suzu**
* Well, Matsuri did say*
* he didn't like her too much...*
**[04:26] Suzu**
Say, Matsuri.
Can't you be a bit nicer to Yayo?
**[04:30] Matsuri**
Why? I am playing nice, aren't I?
**[04:33] Suzu**
Are you?
**[04:35] Suzu**
You pretty much always stay
out of convos with Yayo and Lu.
**[04:40] Suzu**
You just play that game all the time instead.
**[04:43] Matsuri**
Look, I just don't know
what to talk to girls about.
**[04:46] Suzu**
Well, what did you talk
to your guy friends about?
**[04:51] Matsuri**
Uh, I ain't got any of those, either.
**[04:54] Suzu**
Seriously?
**[04:56] Matsuri**
I mean, I spent grade school
playing with you and the ayakashi.
***SIGN*** Practice
**[05:00] Matsuri**
And I started exorcist ninja
training in middle school,
**[05:03] Matsuri**
so I had no time to make friends.
**[05:08] Suzu**
I see...
**[05:09] Matsuri**
It's fine.
**[05:10] Matsuri**
I only became your girl friend
to stay on the lookout for ayakashi.
**[05:15] Matsuri**
There's no need to force myself
to get friendly with the others...
**[05:24] Matsuri**
Okay, fine.
**[05:26] Suzu**
Come on, put your heart into it.
**[05:28] Suzu**
Yayo and Lu wanna get to know you better.
**[05:31] Matsuri**
Honestly, I don't know
what they'd get out of it.
**[05:35] Yayoi**
Oh, Matsuri, Suzu! Get a load of this!
**[05:39] Yayoi**
Looks like this stray cat just
started living here at school.
**[05:43] Yayoi**
Isn't he adorbs?
**[05:44] Lucy**
Look at how round he is! He's more
like some kind of cryptid than a cat.
**[05:49] Shirogane**
Meow! Purr...
**[05:53] Matsuri**
Huh? That face seems kinda familiar...
**[05:57] Yayoi**
Look, isn't he cute?
You pet him, too, Matsuri.
**[06:01] Shirogane**
Purr, meow!
**[06:02] Matsuri**
Hell no!
**[06:03] Yayoi**
Aw, don't be like that.
**[06:05] Matsuri**
Over my dead body!
**[06:09] Yayoi**
I knew it! She despises me!
**[06:11] Suzu**
Sh-She's just more of a dog person!
**[06:16] Shirogane**
I'm surprised you recognized me.
**[06:19] Shirogane**
I transformed into an ordinary,
run-of-the-mill cat.
**[06:22] Matsuri**
There's nothing ordinary
about you, you flabster!
**[06:25] Suzu**
But yeah, look,
his ayakashi features are gone.
**[06:29] Suzu**
Like the ears and the tail.
**[06:31] Suzu**
When you transform,
normal people can see you, too?
**[06:36] Shirogane**
Yes.
**[06:37] Shirogane**
Transformation spells are all about adjusting
**[06:40] Shirogane**
to the narrow perception of you humans
and taking on an appearance from this world.
**[06:44] Shirogane**
It's against my principles to be
buddy-buddy with humans,
**[06:47] Shirogane**
but now I know there is another
exorcist ninja at this school.
**[06:52] Shirogane**
It's safer to be known at school
as a cute cat that everyone can see!

Ooh!
**[07:03] Matsuri**
You truly have no pride when it comes
to your survival, King of Ayakashi.
**[07:09] Shirogane**
So, yeah, I'm off to charm
the other students with my cuteness.
**[07:14] Matsuri**
Hey, wait! You can't just run off and—
**[07:16] Suzu**
What's the problem?
**[07:17] Suzu**
Despite his motives, it's good for him
to be friendly with humans.
**[07:21] Suzu**
Good luck, Shirogane.
**[07:23] Shirogane**
Hmph!
**[07:25] Shirogane**
By the way, you are a total
nincompoop, Kazamaki Matsuri.
**[07:29] Matsuri**
Wha? You itchin' for a fight?!
**[07:32] Shirogane**
I'm only telling you this because
I owe you for saving my life.
**[07:37] Shirogane**
That girl with the sharp eyes
who was petting me earlier...
**[07:41] Shirogane**
She's been possessed by an ayakashi.
**[07:45] Yayoi**
Ow!
**[07:47] Yayoi**
That hurt... I keep falling over.
**[07:50] Yayoi**
I feel so uncool.
**[07:52] Lucy**
Are you okay?
**[07:53] Lucy**
That's the fourth time this afternoon alone.
**[07:57] Yayoi**
I guess I'm really distracted.
**[08:01] Yayoi**
Hey, Lu.
**[08:02] Yayoi**
Was it a bad idea to fondle
Matsuri's boobs like that?
**[08:05] Lucy**
Maybe.
**[08:08] Lucy**
If someone did that to me after
we'd just met, I'd call the cops.
**[08:13] Yayoi**
I'll apologize to Matsuri
when I see her next!
**[08:16] Lucy**
You do that.
**[08:21] Suzu**
But Yayo can't see ayakashi...
**[08:23] Matsuri**
That's exactly why normal
people get possessed.
**[08:26] Matsuri**
It's like getting sick.
**[08:28] Matsuri**
And there are plenty of weak ayakashi around
that don't set off my pinwheel.
**[08:33] Suzu**
Are the weak ones harmless?
**[08:35] Matsuri**
Depends on their nature.
That's why I gotta make sure.
**[08:40] Matsuri**
*I might've noticed if I'd been more alert...*
**[08:44] Matsuri**
* Why'd I need Shirogane*
* to point it out to me?*
**[08:47] Lucy**
I don't see Lady Matsuri anywhere.
**[08:50] Yayoi**
Always the last place you look, huh?
**[08:52] Suzu**
What will you do?
**[08:53] Matsuri**
These are ashes from a burned talisman.
**[08:55] Matsuri**
If it's hiding itself,
**[08:58] Matsuri**
my wind will expose it.

**[09:09] Suzu**

**[09:13] Yayoi**
Oh, Matsuri.
**[09:15] Yayoi**
I wanna say someth—
**[09:17] Yayoi**
Huh?
**[09:20] Suzu**
Yayo!
**[09:33] Lucy**
Whoa, Lady Matsuri's like a ninja!
**[09:40] Suzu**
It was you? No causing mischief.
**[09:46] Yayoi**
Sorry, Matsuri. You had to get
all up close and personal again.
**[09:50] Matsuri**
Why are you apologizing?
**[09:53] Matsuri**
You didn't trip on purpose.
**[09:55] Yayoi**
Well, you know...
**[09:59] Matsuri**
I'm the one who's sorry. I was kinda cold
with you, even though we're friends.
**[10:06] Matsuri**
I haven't had many friends in my life.
**[10:10] Matsuri**
Gramps was the only
contact on my phone, too.
**[10:14] Matsuri**
So I don't know how to act
around friends, and stuff.
**[10:19] Matsuri**
That's why, uh...
**[10:23] Matsuri**
I-I'd be happy if we all got
to know each other a little better.
**[10:33] Yayoi**
Yeah. I'd love to, too.

**[12:01] Suzu**
What the heck is this?
**[12:04] Seigen**
The ritual of dread.
**[12:05] Seigen**
To get them to stop their
mischief in human settlements,
**[12:08] Seigen**
we scare them and send them
back into the mountains.
**[12:11] Seigen**
It may surprise you, but most exorcists
**[12:14] Seigen**
don't actually think all ayakashi
are bad, Suzu-chan.
**[12:19] Seigen**
Just as there are a myriad of gods...
**[12:23] Seigen**
Nature, animals, and plants,
as well as human thoughts and actions—
**[12:27] Seigen**
a myriad of sources can conceptualize
and birth ayakashi into existence.
***SIGN*** Ninja
**[12:32] Matsuri**
Begone! And don't ever come back!
**[12:36] Seigen**
Unless they're truly malicious, we send
them away instead of eliminating them.
**[12:41] Seigen**
This, too, is exorcism.
**[12:43] Matsuri**
Hmph. By human standards, maybe.
**[12:47] Suzu**
* Matsuri never tells me*
* about important things like this.*
**[12:52] Suzu**
* I'm sure it's to distance me from*
* the world of ayakashi, but come on!*
**[12:59] Tvlady**
Shizuo-san!
**[13:06] Yayoi**
So, yeah!
**[13:08] Yayoi**
In last night's episode, the heroine
turned him back into a hottie with a kiss!
**[13:13] Suzu**
O-Oh.
**[13:15] Lucy**
What a predictable ending.
**[13:21] Yayoi**
Predictable can be good sometimes.
That's what makes it romantic!
**[13:26] Yayoi**
Right, Matsuri? You dream
of this stuff, don'tcha?
**[13:29] Matsuri**
Uh, no way.
**[13:31] Yayoi**
Huh? Too predictable for you?
**[13:33] Matsuri**
Not that.
**[13:35] Matsuri**
It's unthinkable for a boy and girl
to kiss before marriage.
**[13:38] Suzu**
That's your problem?
**[13:40] Yayoi**
What a goody-two-shoes!
**[13:43] Lucy**
But if he stayed a dog,
**[13:45] Lucy**
their marriage application
might've been rejected.
**[13:48] Matsuri**
Then a real man would endure
being a Shih Tzu dog for life.
**[13:53] Yayoi**
Damn, you're real demanding of guys!
**[13:56] Suzu**
* While I'm glad he's getting used*
* to talking to Yayo and Lu...*
**[14:00] Suzu**
*Talk about a skewed perception of love.*
**[14:05] Suzu**
* I bet he thinks he's protecting me*
* out of a sense of duty as an exorcist ninja.*
**[14:13] Ponosuke**
Sir Kazamaki.
**[14:15] Suzu**
*An ayakashi?*
**[14:16] Ponosuke**
I am Ninokuru Ponosuke,
a familiar of Ninokuru Soga-sama's.
**[14:23] Ponosuke**
I bring po you a message from Master.
**[14:26] Ponosuke**
"We have exorcist ninja matters to discuss.
**[14:28] Ponosuke**
Suit up and come to
the courtyard immediately!
**[14:30] Ponosuke**
Oh, and come alone," he says.
**[14:35] Matsuri**
Gotta go. Take this back to class for me.
**[14:37] Suzu**
O-Okay.
**[14:41] Suzu**
* Does Ninokuru-senpai wanna talk*
* about Shirogane again?*
**[14:47] Soga**
The pinnacle of our craftsmen's skills,
our exorcist ninja gear,
**[14:51] Soga**
are equipped with a spell that
makes us invisible to normal people,
**[14:55] Soga**
just like ayakashi are.
**[14:57] Soga**
But I hear the ayakashi medium,
Kanade Suzu, can see both.
**[15:02] Matsuri**
What's this, Senpai?
**[15:05] Matsuri**
You wanna talk about Suzu, not Shirogane?
**[15:08] Soga**
I just thought I'd warn you as a colleague.
**[15:11] Soga**
Tell him, Ponosuke.
**[15:13] Ponosuke**
Certainly, Master.
**[15:16] Ponosuke**
I pollect information daily for my Master.
**[15:21] Ponosuke**
Including rumors involving ayakashi.
**[15:24] Ponosuke**
A traveling ayakashi mentioned this
before possing out drunk the other day.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Travelingayakashi**
This world is full of mysteries.
**[15:35] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
Oh, is that so?
**[15:37] (Flashback) Travelingayakashi**
For example, the ayakashi
mediums of the past
**[15:40] (Flashback) Travelingayakashi**
were said to be both human and ayakashi.
**[15:43] Matsuri**
*Human and ayakashi?!*
**[15:46] Matsuri**
The hell? What does that mean?
**[15:48] Soga**
In some legends, a medium is said to be
a combination of human and ayakashi.
**[15:56] Soga**
So it's not just that they have
an excess of life force.
**[16:01] Soga**
Kanade Suzu is just as much
an ayakashi as she is human.
**[16:06] Matsuri**
Suzu's... an ayakashi?
**[16:12] Girls**
Cute!
**[16:15] Soga**
We should be just as wary
of her as Shirogane.
**[16:19] Soga**
If she were to cause harm to humans,
**[16:22] Soga**
she could become a target for exorcism.
**[16:26] Ponosuke**
Po, no!
**[16:29] Matsuri**
Like hell! I'll beat you up, senpai or not.
**[16:32] Soga**
I'm just saying there's a chance.
Calm down, you naive fool.
**[16:36] Matsuri**
And I'm telling you there's
absolutely no chance!
**[16:42] Soga**
*What?*
**[16:44] Soga**
*This feeling...*
**[16:46] Soga**
*Are they touch...*
**[16:49] Soga**
*...ing?!*
**[16:51] Soga**
* C-C-C-C-Calm down, me!*
* He's a guy on the inside!*
**[16:55] Soga**
*These breasts are nothing!*
**[16:56] Soga**
*Stay strong, Ninokuru Soga, you naive fool!*
**[17:00] Ponosuke**
Master?
**[17:01] Soga**
A-Anyway, I've warned you.
Class is about to start!
**[17:05] Ponosuke**
Wait, Master!
**[17:18] Suzu**
Let's go home, Matsuri.
**[17:20] Matsuri**
Sure.
**[17:21] Suzu**
You've been down in the dumps since lunch.
**[17:24] Suzu**
Did Ninokuru-senpai give you some bad news?
**[17:26] Suzu**
Like, he decided to exorcise
Shirogane after all, or something?
**[17:32] Suzu**
Hmm? What is it?
**[17:35] Matsuri**
Nothing for you to worry about, Suzu.
**[17:40] Shirogane**
Meow! Meow!
**[17:41] Suzu**
That's Shirogane's voice!
**[17:44] Suzu**
Is Ninokuru-senpai attacking him?!
**[17:46] Sujimori**
Let me cuddle you!
**[17:49] Sujimori**
Don't be afraid!
**[17:56] Suzu**
All right!
**[17:57] Suzu**
Tomorrow's Suzu Dango, complete!
**[18:05] Suzu**
I feel like they're starting to taste better.
**[18:08] Suzu**
Adjusting the balance of the
ingredients can change so much?
**[18:12] Suzu**
Japanese sweets are deep!
**[18:16] Suzu**
* My goal: The ultimate kibi dango that'll*
* make Shirogane forget about eating me!*
**[18:22] Shirogane**
*Delish! Maybe I don't have to eat you, Suzu.*
**[18:27] Suzu**
* This is about all I can do to help*
* Matsuri go back to being a boy,*
**[18:31] Suzu**
*so I gotta give it my all!*
**[18:33] Suzu**
* If there was anything else I could do,*
* I would gladly do it!*
**[18:39] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Nothing for you to worry about, Suzu.
**[18:42] Suzu**
*But he really won't tell me anything.*
**[18:45] Suzumom**
Suzu.
**[18:47] Suzu**
What's up, Mom?
**[18:49] Suzumom**
Were you making dango again?
**[18:52] Suzu**
Yep! They came out really well!
**[18:55] Suzu**
Wanna try them?
**[18:56] Suzu**
Wait, they're all gone!
Now I've gotta remake them again!

The spirit of a living person. In the west,
they are also called doppelgangers.
**[03:39] Seigen**
Stress and other factors can cause
large amounts of haku to leave the body.
**[03:46] Seigen**
* Since they take the form of a real person,*
* they're sometimes visible to normal people.*
**[03:50] Seigen**
* They walk around like ghosts*

**[04:04] Suzu**
Um, so that omokage of mine...

in your room, Matsuri?
**[04:12] Shirogane**
*You scandalous girl!*
**[04:13] Matsuri**
W-Well...
**[04:14] Matsuri**
It appeared suddenly, and then it
disappeared just as suddenly...
**[04:17] Matsuri**
That's it.
**[04:19] Suzu**
Figures.

*No way I can ask if it kissed him!*

*Hey, what's wrong, Suzu?!*
**[04:28] Suzu**
Something hit my head! I didn't even move!
**[04:33] Seigen**
What? Is that even possible?!
**[04:36] Matsuri**
What are you talking about, Gramps?

She and the clone are sharing senses!
**[04:43] Seigen**
Which means...

It hasn't disappeared yet.
**[04:48] Seigen**
Suzu-chan's omokage is still
wandering around somewhere.
**[04:52] Matsuri**
You mean...
**[04:54] Seigen**
If the clone's attacked
by a dangerous ayakashi,
**[04:57] Seigen**
or if it gets in a traffic
accident or something,
**[05:01] Seigen**
then it's possible Suzu-chan herself may...

**[05:31] Suzu**
My soles feel ticklish.

Did you forget what you
said to me so proudly before?
**[06:05] Shirogane**
You acted like you'd always

**[06:09] Shirogane**
The ayakashi medium is my prey.
**[06:13] Shirogane**
I can't have her die before I eat her.
**[06:15] Shirogane**
I'll reluctantly assist you
with my superior sense of smell.
**[06:20] Matsuri**
You...
**[06:21] Shirogane**
An ayakashi's senses are in an entirely
different league to a human's!
**[06:27] Shirogane**
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
**[06:29] Shirogane**
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
**[06:34] Shirogane**
She's close! This way!

Wow...

Huh?

Oh, yeah? Well, childhood friend, my ass!

This isn't the time for fighting, Matsuri!

*O-Oh, right...*

Suzu-chan, do you feel

**[07:00] Suzu**
I feel the wind in my face.
**[07:04] Suzu**
And I smell grass, maybe?

*What's wrong, Suzu?!*
**[08:09] Suzu**
What is it doing?!
**[08:13] Suzu**
Yeow! It hurts so bad!
**[08:17] Suzu**
Does it want crepes so bad,

it's trying to roll up the shutters
with its bare hands?!
**[08:23] Matsuri**
Is the clone an idiot?!

This is bad!

So the omokage was purified

Guess I've got Shirogane

**[10:14] Shirogane**
Hmph. I didn't do it for you.
**[10:17] Shirogane**
I did it for the kibi dango I'd be missing
out on if you broke your fingers.
**[10:21] Suzu**
*So he does like them.*
**[10:25] Matsuri**
You were only thinking
about the crepes, right?
**[10:29] Matsuri**
Nothing else before you went to sleep?
**[10:31] Suzu**
O-Of course!
**[10:35] Suzu**
Why? Did something else happen?
**[10:38] Matsuri**
No... Not really.
**[10:42] Shirogane**
* This incident provides but a glimpse*
* of the ayakashi medium's powers.*
**[10:47] Shirogane**
*Not that I have any reason to tell them that.*
**[10:51] Shirogane**
*But this made it clear as day.*
**[10:55] Shirogane**
*Suzu is absolutely a scandalous girl!*
**[11:01] Soga**
Kanade Suzu manifested an omokage?
**[11:04] Ponosuke**
It is indeed po.
**[11:06] Ponosuke**
Many an ayakashi spotted it.
**[11:09] Soga**
Mm.
**[11:11] Girlab**
Eek!
**[11:12] Girlb**
S-S-Sorry!
**[11:16] Girlab**
So scary!
**[11:18] Soga**
Hmph.
**[11:19] Ponosuke**
Humans are too prone to
judging a book by its pover.
**[11:22] Ponosuke**
You're not a bad person on the inside!
**[11:26] Soga**
I'm aware I have a scary face.
It doesn't bother me anymore.
**[11:30] Ponosuke**
But due to that, you've never
had a girlfriend. It's so potiful.
**[11:36] Soga**
Quiet.
**[11:37] Soga**
* Anyway, Kanade Suzu's ayakashi side*
* is becoming more and more prominent.*
**[11:44] Soga**
*I have to do something before it's too late.*
**[11:46] Suzu**
Ninokuru-senpai.
**[11:49] Soga**
You are...
**[11:50] Suzu**
I'm Kanade Suzu, Matsuri's childhood friend.
**[11:54] Soga**
What do you want from me?
**[11:56] Suzu**
Um... After school today...
**[12:00] Suzu**
Do you have some time to go out with me?
**[12:04] Suzu**
I want to talk to you about something.
**[12:07] Ponosuke**
*Sporingtime has arrived for Master!*
**[12:13] Matsuri**
With Senpai? Talk about what?
**[12:17] Suzu**
He has an ayakashi with him, right?
**[12:20] Suzu**
They could give us some pointers
to help you and Shirogane get closer.
**[12:24] Shirogane**
Don't waste your time.
**[12:27] Matsuri**
I don't like you getting involved in
the world of ayakashi and exorcist ninjas.
**[12:33] Suzu**
Let me.
**[12:35] Suzu**
I wanna gain a better
understanding, at least.
**[12:38] Suzu**
I just keep causing trouble for you.
**[12:42] Suzu**
Like last night...
**[12:48] Matsuri**
*Yikes, I remembered what happened.*
**[12:51] Matsuri**
*Now I can't look Suzu in the eye.*
**[12:54] Matsuri**
*Calm down! That was a clone!*
**[12:56] Matsuri**
*It doesn't count! Probably...*
**[12:58] Suzu**
Hey, are you listening?
**[13:00] Suzu**
Come on, it's almost time.
**[13:02] Suzu**
Let's go, you two.
**[13:04] Matsuri**
Hey, I'm not really on board with this!
**[13:06] Shirogane**
Go by yourself, Suzu!
**[13:11] Ponosuke**
P-Po...
**[13:12] Soga**
You came alone?!
**[13:17] Suzu**
They were with me a moment ago, but...
**[13:20] Soga**
*N-No way!*
**[13:22] Soga**
*I'd assumed Kazamaki would come along, too...*
**[13:27] Suzumum**
Welcome!
**[13:29] Suzumum**
Oh, Suzu. Done with school?
**[13:32] Suzu**
Yup.
**[13:32] Suzumum**
The fruit parfait you came up with
is colossally popular.
**[13:38] Suzumum**
You're the best.
**[13:40] Suzu**
Booyah!
**[13:41] Suzu**
Mom, mind if I take the usual table?
**[13:44] Suzu**
I wanted to get some advice
from a senpai at school.
**[13:51] Suzu**
Our dessert menu's got a lot of variety, see?
**[13:54] Suzu**
I helped come up with most of it.
**[13:56] Suzu**
I recommend...
**[13:57] Soga**
I'll have coffee. Black.
**[13:59] Suzu**
Oh, not a fan of sweets?
**[14:02] Soga**
It's not that...
**[14:03] Suzumum**
*Tall and wild...*
**[14:05] Suzumum**
*The exact opposite of my husband.*
**[14:07] Suzumum**
*But I guess they're both the silent type.*
**[14:10] Suzumum**
Hey, stop eavesdropping.
We've got orders to serve.
**[14:14] Suzudad**
R-Right!
**[14:17] Matsuri**
Damn it... What's Suzu
talking to Senpai about?
**[14:21] Shirogane**
If it's bothering you so much,
you should just join them.
**[14:24] Matsuri**
I'd look so uncool if I went back now!
**[14:26] Shirogane**
That ship already sailed when you
panicked and ran away.
**[14:31] Shirogane**
Are you sure about this?
**[14:32] Shirogane**
This might help Ninokuru
and Suzu get really close.
**[14:37] Matsuri**
It...
**[14:38] Matsuri**
It's fine.
**[14:40] Matsuri**
Even if she gets a boyfriend,
it has nothing to do with me.
**[14:45] Matsuri**
I'll still protect her as an exorcist ninja.
**[14:49] Shirogane**
*He's more immature than Suzu. How amusing.*
**[14:52] Shirogane**
*I'll have some more fun with him.*
**[14:55] Shirogane**
Actually, I'm curious what
they're talking about, too.
**[14:58] Shirogane**
I have a good idea that'll help us
enter the cafe without Suzu noticing.
**[15:04] Suzu**
Huh... So there's
an Exorcist Ninja Association.
**[15:11] Soga**
Long ago, the Tokugawa Shogunate
established it in secret.
**[15:16] Soga**
It has branches all over Japan,
**[15:18] Soga**
gathering information about the occult
**[15:21] Soga**
and maintaining peace.
**[15:25] Suzu**
So that's why you're ninja.
**[15:27] Suzu**
Matsuri never tells me these things.
**[15:30] Ponosuke**
Master, your hands are shaking po much!
**[15:34] Soga**
I know.
**[15:35] Soga**
* But this tension,*
* talking to a girl face-to-face...*
**[15:40] Soga**
It's far easier to battle ayakashi!
**[15:42] Suzu**
Look at you two, whispering to each other.
**[15:46] Suzu**
How cute.
**[15:50] Soga**
*Huh?*
**[15:52] Suzu**
Ponosuke-chan, was it?
**[15:55] Soga**
*Oh, that's what she meant.*
**[15:58] Suzumum**
Welcome.
**[15:59] Matsuri**
Hehe! I was just walking by,
but I felt drawn to this cafe!
**[16:05] Matsuri**
Guess I can stuf—partake in some cake.
**[16:08] Suzumum**
Uh, take a seat wherever you like.
**[16:11] Matsuri**
Okay, I'll do just that!
**[16:16] Matsuri**
Whoa, what a great window seat!
**[16:19] Matsuri**
I'll sit here!
**[16:21] Suzu**
What are you doing, Matsuri?
**[16:24] Matsuri**
*She saw right through us, you idiot!*
**[16:26] Shirogane**
*Impossible! My plan is flawless!*
**[16:30] Matsuri**
Wh-Who's that? You must be
mistaking me for someone else.
**[16:34] Matsuri**
Now, then...
**[16:36] Suzumum**
Are you ready to order?
**[16:39] Matsuri**
*E-Espresso Affogato...*

**[17:00] Suzu**
*What is he even doing?*
**[17:03] Suzu**
* Well, I guess he came*
* because he was worried.*
**[17:07] Suzu**
I envy you, Senpai.
**[17:09] Suzu**
You have an ayakashi friend.
**[17:11] Soga**
He's a familiar.
**[17:13] Soga**
He's like a servant, not a friend.
**[17:18] Soga**
* That's right.*
* This girl is an ayakashi medium.*
**[17:22] Soga**
*She can see ayakashi.*
**[17:24] Soga**
* According to Ponosuke's information*
* about last night, many ayakashi spotted*
**[17:30] Soga**
* the ayakashi medium's*
* omokage shadow walking around.*
**[17:34] Soga**
*It looks like Kazamaki took care of it,*
**[17:37] Soga**
* but her ayakashi medium powers*
* should be capable of more.*
**[17:42] Soga**
*She's a dangerous individual!*
**[17:44] Soga**
*Don't let your guard down, Ponosuke!*
**[17:46] Suzu**
Are you happy being with Senpai?
**[17:49] Ponosuke**
But pof course!
**[17:51] Soga**
*He's in her arms already?!*
**[17:53] Suzu**
I knew it. Ninokuru-senpai
seems so nice, after all.
**[17:58] Soga**
*Who, me?!*
**[17:59] Soga**
*Nice...*
**[18:00] Matsuri**
* Damn it, Suzu! Why do you look like*
* you're having so much fun?*
**[18:05] Shirogane**
*Heh, this is getting fun.*
**[18:09] Soga**
I-I'm not sure what you're talking about.
**[18:14] Ponosuke**
Master may be pomewhat awkward,
but he's really a very kind porson.
**[18:22] Suzu**
Right, right!
**[18:24] Soga**
*Ponosuke...*
**[18:26] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
No! Stop it!
**[18:29] (Flashback) Soga**
Begone!
**[18:31] (Flashback) Soga**
An ayakashi getting attacked
by a mere cat? You pathetic fool.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
Thank you po much!
**[18:38] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
I powe you my life!
**[18:45] (Flashback) Soga**
I have no intention of being
friendly with an ayakashi. Go away!
**[18:48] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
Master! Please make me your servant!
**[18:53] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
Master!
**[19:08] (Flashback) Soga**
If you wish to serve me, tend to
your injuries and become much faster.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Soga**
So there you have it.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Soga**
Yet again, some random girl
screamed and ran away from me.
**[19:22] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
How unportunate.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Soga**
Before I knew it, I started
relying on you to hear me out, huh?
**[19:30] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
I'm sure you will eventually meet
a human who sees how ponderful you are.
**[19:38] (Flashback) Ponosuke**
After all, you are such a kind person!
**[19:44] Suzu**
I used to play with all kinds
of ayakashi, so I can tell.
**[19:51] Suzu**
The two of you share a special relationship.
**[19:56] Suzu**
It makes me really happy to know
that there are people like you around.
**[20:06] Suzumum**
Are you ready to order?
**[20:08] Matsuri**
A-Ah!
**[20:09] Matsuri**
E-Er, um...
**[20:11] Shirogane**
A can of cat food, then!
**[20:12] Suzumum**
What?
**[20:13] Matsuri**
Who said you could talk?!
**[20:15] Shirogane**
Hurry up and make up your mind!
**[20:17] Suzu**
I do have some Suzu dango, if you want.
**[20:20] Shirogane**
Oh, I cannot resist!
**[20:25] Shirogane**
Oh!
**[20:26] Matsuri**
Ah!
**[20:26] Suzumum**
What?
**[20:27] Shirogane**
Curses!
**[20:30] Suzu**
Ninokuru-senpai,
thank you very much for today.
**[20:35] Suzu**
See you, Ponosuke-chan.
**[20:37] Ponosuke**
Take care, Suzu-sama, Matsuri-dono.
**[20:44] Suzu**
That was so much fun!
**[20:46] Suzu**
He told me a bunch of things
about ayakashi and exorcist ninja.
**[20:50] Matsuri**
Did he? Ninokuru-senpai barely
said a word after I showed up.
**[20:56] Shirogane**
He must've been shocked stiff
by your horrendous acting.
**[21:02] Shirogane**
I never thought you would be that awful.
**[21:05] Matsuri**
Shaddup! That's why I kept
telling you I couldn't do it!
**[21:08] Suzu**
But you came because
you were worried, right?
**[21:12] Suzu**
Thanks, Matsuri.
**[21:17] Matsuri**
I just wanted to eat some cake.
**[21:25] Shirogane**
*How did that get them in a romantic mood?*
**[21:29] Shirogane**
*Humans are puzzling.*
**[21:32] Ponosuke**
Please porgive me, Master.
**[21:39] Ponosuke**
Her touch felt so good, I nearly dozed off.
**[21:46] Soga**
She's an ayakashi medium.
It's not your fault.
**[21:50] Ponosuke**
Master?
**[21:57] Soga**
That girl...
**[21:59] Soga**
She's a goddess!
**[22:01] Ponosuke**
Yes.

Lady Matsuri.
**[00:03] Lucy**
That game you play on your phone...
**[00:06] Lucy**
It's *Switch On Onmyouji*, right?
**[00:08] Matsuri**
Huh? Lu, you know about it?
**[00:10] Lucy**
Of course I do.

I have all of Yuki Saibai's manga,
right from their debut work.
***SIGN*** Switch On Onmyouji
**[00:16] Lucy**
Even the digital versions, obviously.
**[00:19] Matsuri**
Seriously? That's over a hundred volumes...
**[00:23] Matsuri**
But their stuff is more for boys, isn't it?
**[00:26] Matsuri**
They even draw edgier manga
for older demographics.
**[00:30] Lucy**
Sex and violence is A-okay by me!
**[00:32] Lucy**
Good stuff is good stuff,
no matter what gender you are!
**[00:35] Matsuri**
Well, yeah, *Switch On* is really good.
**[00:38] Lucy**
You know, you're the first girl
I've met who gets *Switch On*!
**[00:41] Matsuri**
Likewise! You got good taste, Lu!
**[00:43] Suzu**
*Huh... Matsuri and Lu have similar tastes?*
**[00:49] Suzu**
*Good. He's being friendly like he said.*
**[00:51] Yayoi**
Hey, girls! It's time to go!
**[00:54] Yayoi**
We've got P.E. next.
**[00:56] Lucy**
Oh, right. We got too worked up
talking about manga.
**[01:01] Yayoi**
Whoa, there.
**[01:02] Yayoi**
You're not getting away, Matsuri.
**[01:04] Yayoi**
You always get changed without us
for P.E., but not today.
**[01:09] Matsuri**
Uh, I don't know...
**[01:11] Lucy**
Lady Matsuri.
**[01:12] Lucy**
We are Kachofugetsu, remember?
We gotta lay it all bare and bond sometimes.
***SIGN*** Kachofugetsu
**[01:20] Suzu**
*L... Lay it all bare?!*
**[01:23] Suzu**
*What now, Matsuri?!*
**[01:28] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[01:30] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[01:35] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[01:38] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[01:43] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[01:50] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
**[03:24] Yayoi**
Sounds like we're doing
laps around school today.
***SIGN*** Episode 6: "Those Who See, and Those Who Can't"
**[03:27] Lucy**
Urgh. What a drag.
**[03:29] Matsuri**
You think? But the wind's gonna feel great.
**[03:32] Yayoi**
Let's all maintain
the same pace and run together.
**[03:34] Suzu**
Yeah, sure.
**[03:36] Lucy**
You'd better not leave us behind.
**[03:38] Matsuri**
I know, I know.
**[03:40] Suzu**
* H-Hey, Matsuri... Why'd you*
* get so calm all of a sudden?*
**[03:44] Suzu**
* Are you gonna take advantage of your form*
* to get changed with the girls?*
**[03:49] Suzu**
*That's unacceptable!*
**[03:51] Suzu**
*F-Fine, then!*
**[03:57] Suzu**
I'll have to...
**[04:00] Suzu**
*...be the shield and protect everyone!*
**[04:04] Suzu**
If you're gonna look, look only at me.
**[04:09] Shirogane**
*That Suzu...*
**[04:11] Shirogane**
* Her face makes it obvious*
* she's having scandalous thoughts again.*
**[04:15] Shirogane**
*Is it because of her excess life force?*
**[04:18] Shirogane**
* Did she become an ayakashi medium*
* because she's like that?*
**[04:24] Shirogane**
*No matter.*
**[04:25] Shirogane**
* I'll catch Matsuri off-guard,*
* grab the God-Sealing Scroll,*
**[04:29] Shirogane**
*return to my true form, and devour Suzu!*
**[04:33] Shirogane**
*That is all.*
**[04:35] Shirogane**
* I confirmed at home that Matsuri keeps*
* the scroll on his back when he's in uniform.*
**[04:42] Shirogane**
* When he changes with all those students*
* distracting him, my chance will come!*
**[04:50] Matsuri**
See you outside!
**[04:52] Shirogane**
*Zero openings? Blast it!*
**[04:56] Girla**
It followed us!
**[04:58] Girlb**
So cute!
**[04:59] Suzu**
*I see... He changed instantly.*
**[05:02] Suzu**
*He came up with a plan, huh?*
**[05:04] Suzu**
* I'm such a colossal idiot*
* for having weird thoughts!*
**[05:08] Lucy**
Did you see, Lady Suzu?
**[05:11] Lucy**
Lady Matsuri's tummy.
**[05:12] Suzu**
Wh-What about it?
**[05:14] Suzu**
*Did she see it? The Gender Swap crest?!*
**[05:17] Suzu**
* But Matsuri said normal people couldn't see*
* it because it was caused by an ayakashi!*
**[05:23] Lucy**
I wanted to snap a pic of her
cute belly button, but she ran off.
**[05:27] Suzu**
Hey! Don't bring your phone out
in the locker room!
**[05:33] Lucy**
But I did take this pic.
**[05:35] Lucy**
What is this...
Looks like a scroll or something?
**[05:39] Suzu**
*The God-Sealing Scroll...*
**[05:41] Suzu**
*How are we supposed to explain that?*
**[05:44] Matsuri**
Oh, my family are descendants of ninja.
**[05:48] Matsuri**
This is a secret scroll.
**[05:49] Matsuri**
It's an heirloom, so I keep it
with me for safekeeping.
**[05:53] Lucy**
Makes sense.
**[05:55] Yayoi**
Oh, that's your game? Sorry I didn't realize!
**[05:58] Suzu**
*Way to go, Matsuri.*
**[06:00] Suzu**
* We can't say you're an exorcist ninja and*
* sealed an ayakashi with that scroll, yeah.*
**[06:06] Suzu**
*They wouldn't believe it, anyway.*
**[06:10] (Flashback) Girlc**
She says she can see ghosts.
**[06:12] (Flashback) Girld**
What a liar.
**[06:15] (Flashback) Suzumum**
It's okay, Suzu. Ghosts don't really exist.
**[06:19] Suzu**
* We can't say anything*
* to people who can't see.*
**[06:25] Matsuri**
Suzu?
**[06:32] Matsuri**
*Is it bothering Suzu*
**[06:36] Matsuri**
*that we lied to our friends?*
**[06:41] Lucy**
Upping the pace is against the rules!
**[06:50] Boya**
*Whoa...*
**[06:51] Boyb**
*Wha... Look at those nukes!*
**[06:57] Matsuri**
* Those idiots are totally*
* checking out my boobs.*
**[07:00] Matsuri**
*It's so obvious where you're looking.*
**[07:02] Matsuri**
*Do guys really think we can't tell?*
**[07:05] Matsuri**
*Wait... I'm a guy, too.*
**[07:08] Matsuri**
* Hmm, I should probably give them*
* a piece of my mind.*
**[07:12] Matsuri**
Hey—
**[07:13] Yayoi**
Hey, you guys! Quit leering at Matsuri!
**[07:16] Lucy**
You could get in trouble for that these days.
**[07:18] Boys**
W-We're very sorry!
**[07:20] Yayoi**
You'd better be! And don't come back!
**[07:22] Lucy**
The bonds of Kachofugetsu are strong.
**[07:28] Matsuri**
*I get it now, Suzu.*
**[07:30] Matsuri**
*It's not the lying that's bothering you.*
**[07:33] Matsuri**
* It's the fact that we can't even*
* tell our friends everything.*
**[07:37] Matsuri**
* Normal people can't see ayakashi,*
* and that's for the best.*
**[07:40] Matsuri**
* The past was one thing,*
* but that's what's normal today.*
**[07:45] Matsuri**
*But...*
**[07:49] Matsuri**
*A small part of me feels...*
**[07:51] Matsuri**
* that it'd be really cool if these two*
* could see the same world we do.*
**[07:57] Yayoi**
Okay, the final stretch!
**[07:59] Yayoi**
Let's go!
**[08:01] Lucy**
Uh, we've only done half a lap.
**[08:05] Girls**
You're so nice and plump!
**[08:08] Girls**
Here, a snack. You love these, don't you?
**[08:11] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[08:13] Girls**
See you!
**[08:15] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[08:19] Shirogane**
Another day of cuteness overload.
**[08:22] Suzu**
Shirogane?
**[08:23] Shirogane**
Oh, Suzu, Matsuri.
**[08:26] Shirogane**
Put these in your bag.
**[08:28] Shirogane**
They're today's offerings.
**[08:30] Matsuri**
Maybe you should quit being an ayakashi
and just live on as a stray cat.
**[08:35] Suzu**
What was that?
***SIGN*** Exorcist Ninja Association
***SIGN*** Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake,
Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig
**[08:36] Matsuri**
An ayakashi alert from
the exorcist ninja app.
**[08:39] Suzu**
That exists?
**[08:41] Matsuri**
"Observed spatial distortion near
Hokusai High School in Omiko City.
**[08:45] Matsuri**
Association members in the area
are to be on high alert."
**[08:48] Suzu**
What's it mean?
**[08:49] Matsuri**
To be careful because it's easier
for dangerous ayakashi to appear right now.
**[08:54] Suzu**
Dangerous?
**[08:55] Lucy**
Lady Matsuri, Lady Suzu!
You need to see this!
**[09:01] Lucy**
I just took a pic of Sujimori-sensei
working out in the schoolyard...
**[09:05] Lucy**
and I captured something crazy!
**[09:08] Lucy**
I take 300 pics a day, but this is a first!
**[09:13] Lucy**
I'm so hyped!
**[09:14] Yayoi**
A spirit photo?
**[09:16] Yayoi**
This looks kinda real. Freaky.
**[09:22] Suzu**
Matsuri, is that...
**[09:23] Matsuri**
Yeah, it's clearly...
**[09:26] Lucy**
Wow, this is a gem!
**[09:31] Matsuri**
*...a dangerous one.*
**[09:34] Shirogane**
That ayakashi... It's an Ikon.
**[09:37] Shirogane**
A cluster of humans' residual
negative emotions. Truly unpleasant.
**[09:42] Matsuri**
*Because Lu caught it on camera,*
**[09:45] Matsuri**
* she also captured its existence,*
* like in a spell.*
**[09:49] Suzu**
Lu, it's probably the camera
acting up. Delete it.
**[09:53] Lucy**
N-No way! I may never get
a shot like this again.
**[09:56] Lucy**
I'm gonna put up a poster of it in my room.
**[09:59] Lucy**
I bet it's an envoy from space!
A message from the fourth dimension!
**[10:03] Lucy**
I'm burning up!
**[10:05] Suzu**
Wha...
**[10:05] Yayoi**
Lu's saying that, but it
just looks like a ghost to me!
**[10:10] Yayoi**
I might not be able to sleep tonight!
**[10:13] Matsuri**
*Damn it.*
**[10:14] Matsuri**
* Ikon don't have the power to physically*
* attack a human, but they can possess them.*
**[10:19] Matsuri**
* If left alone, it'll slowly*
* suck away Lu's haku from within and grow.*
**[10:25] Matsuri**
I've gotta drive it out and exorcise it.
**[10:28] Suzu**
What now, Matsuri?
**[10:33] Matsuri**
Lu!
**[10:34] Matsuri**
I wanna see your manga collection!
**[10:37] Suzu**
M-Me, too! It's been ages
since I've been to your house!
**[10:41] Lucy**
Where did that come from?
**[10:43] Yayoi**
What's the problem?
**[10:45] Yayoi**
Let's have a pajama party
tonight while we're at it!
**[10:48] Yayoi**
That way, I won't be scared!
**[10:50] Matsurisuzu**
Yep!
**[10:52] Lucy**
Hmm...
**[10:53] Lucy**
Sounds good. We have tomorrow off, anyway.
**[10:59] Lucy**
It's your first time visiting,
right, Lady Matsuri?
**[11:01] Lucy**
My place is huge, and we
can all bathe together.
**[11:05] Matsurisuzu**
Bathe together?!
**[11:10] Shirogane**
*Something scandalous this way comes...*
***SIGN*** High School
**[11:19] Yayoi**
I can't wait to get in the bath together!
**[11:22] Yayoi**
Let's wash each other's backs!
**[11:25] Matsuri**
*This is bad... Very bad!*
**[11:27] Matsuri**
* Going to her place as an exorcist ninja's*
* one thing, but not the bath!*
**[11:30] Lucy**
Oh, our ride's here.
**[11:36] Matsuri**
Damn, that's long!
**[11:38] Suzu**
Lu's family is pretty loaded.
**[11:45] Matsuri**
Whoa... I can't believe
this is the inside of a car!
**[11:49] Yayoi**
Everyone reacts like that the first time.
**[11:52] Lucy**
Want some?
**[11:53] Matsuri**
I sure do!
**[11:55] Shirogane**
*Talk about getting carried away.*
**[12:00] Suzu**
Matsuri.
**[12:01] Matsuri**
The best time to exorcise an Ikon
is when the host is asleep.
**[12:06] Matsuri**
So the only thing we can do
until then is wait.
**[12:09] Suzu**
Okay, I'm gonna trust you on this... for now.
**[12:12] Matsuri**
What do you mean, for now?
**[12:13] Yayoi**
You two are so close.
**[12:16] Lucy**
Right?
**[12:21] Butler**
Please enjoy your stay, ladies.
**[12:24] Matsuri**
Whoa, you have an open-air bath?!
**[12:27] Lucy**
My father has a thing
for Japanese hot springs.
**[12:31] Yayoi**
Well, let's jump in.
**[12:33] Matsuri**
Hey, slow down!
**[12:35] Matsuri**
I just saw this huge mansion
with a butler and all,
**[12:38] Matsuri**
and I have to jump in the bath
before I can even react?
**[12:41] Yayoi**
Can't we just skip all that?
**[12:45] Lucy**
Getting the bath out of the way
will let us relax later, Lady Matsuri.
**[12:51] Matsuri**
* But... there's no way I can*
* take a bath with the girls.*
**[12:57] Matsuri**
I... I can bathe later!
**[13:01] Suzu**
*I'll call for you if something happens.*
**[13:05] Yayoi**
You're not getting away, Matsuri.
**[13:11] Yayoi**
Too late to be embarrassed.
**[13:14] Lucy**
We're definitely bonding
in the nude this time.
**[13:18] Lucy**
It's to deepen Kachofugetsu's friendships!
**[13:20] Matsuri**
*Yayo and Lu's eyes... They're obsessed!*
**[13:24] Yayoi**
Come on!
**[13:25] Yayoi**
Take it off!
**[13:26] Lucy**
Off with this, too!
**[13:28] Yayoi**
It's all good.
**[13:29] Matsuri**
Hey, stop! Knock it off!
**[13:32] Yayoi**
So this is what a fundoshi looks like.
**[13:35] Matsuri**
Okay, okay, I get it!
Just let me undress myself!
**[13:45] Yayoi**
That was fast, Matsuri!
You sure you washed everything?
**[13:48] Matsuri**
I did!
**[13:53] Suzu**
Matsuri.
**[13:55] Suzu**
You'd better not look at the girls, okay?
**[13:58] Matsuri**
I-I know.
**[14:08] Suzu**
You can't exorcise it yet, right?
**[14:11] Suzu**
That thing on Lu.
**[14:12] Matsuri**
I need some time to prepare.
I can't do it right now.
**[14:19] Suzu**
*I never thought...*
**[14:21] Suzu**
*I'd be bathing with Matsuri again like this!*
**[14:26] Yayoi**
Oh, that scroll was your
family heirloom, was it?
**[14:31] Suzu**
Don't look, Matsuri!
**[14:39] Yayoi**
Huh?
**[14:40] Suzu**
*Convenient coverage!*
**[14:42] Matsuri**
*Wait, shit! It's growing!*
**[14:46] Yayoi**
Gosh, what are you doing?
**[14:48] Lucy**
You two really are so close.
**[14:54] Matsuri**
I-I'm getting dizzy, so I'm gonna get out!
**[14:56] Suzu**
M-Matsuri! That was an accident!
**[14:59] Shirogane**
*Suzu... What a scary girl!*
**[15:03] Shirogane**
* That was my best chance to grab the scroll,*
* but I was too taken aback!*
**[15:09] Shirogane**
*Anyway, what a positively revolting creature.*
**[15:14] Shirogane**
* But with my powers sealed,*
* I can't even put down that weak Ikon.*
**[15:22] Shirogane**
*So vexing!*
**[15:28] Matsuri**
Lu?
**[15:29] Suzu**
You okay?
**[15:30] Lucy**
I... I'm fine. Just got a little dizzy.
**[15:34] Matsuri**
* Crap... I gotta make sure*
* she conserves her energy.*
**[15:38] Matsuri**
You should get out
and go to bed early tonight.
**[15:42] Lucy**
What? But I haven't shown you
my manga collection.
**[15:47] Matsuri**
You can do that when you're better!
**[15:50] Matsuri**
Take care of yourself first!
**[15:54] Lucy**
You're so cool...
**[15:56] Matsuri**
Lu!
**[15:57] Yayoi**
Hey, hang in there!
**[15:59] Suzu**
We should get help!
**[16:06] Lucy**
*I wanted to show Lady Matsuri my collection.*
**[16:13] Lucy**
*Huh? Where am I?*
**[16:16] Lucy**
Oh, this is my library.
**[16:18] Lucy**
Right, I was gonna show Lady Matsuri
all these prized possessions.

**[16:33] Lucy**
Huh? Where did everyone else go?
**[16:52] Yayoi**
Lu seems to be in pain.
**[16:54] Yayoi**
I'll go ask if they have
sports drinks in the house.
**[16:57] Suzu**
Please.
**[17:00] Suzu**

Suit up.
**[17:08] Matsuri**
Hang in there just a little longer, Lu.

Thanks to you...

I've grown so much.

Your life force is delicious!

Give me...

Give me more!
**[17:41] Lucy**
Huh? Who are you?
**[18:06] Lucy**
Wait, that pinwheel... Is it Lady Matsuri's?
**[18:10] Lucy**
Huh? What?
**[18:14] Lucy**
You want to put that in my mouth?
**[18:26] Matsuri**
* It took me a while to put my*
* kon energy into the pinwheel.*
**[18:33] Matsuri**
Just you wait, Lu.
**[18:35] Matsuri**
I'll use my wind to blow that ayakashi out.

**[19:25] Yayoi**
Man, thank goodness.
**[19:27] Yayoi**
You're looking like your usual self
after a good night's sleep.
**[19:30] Suzu**
Lu?
**[19:31] Lucy**
I had a weird dream.
**[19:34] Lucy**
A mysterious ninja boy defeated a ghost.
**[19:38] Yayoi**
What the heck?
**[19:41] Matsuri**
* Some of my kon energy entered*
* her body through the pinwheel.*
**[19:47] Matsuri**
*I guess that means I'm still a guy at heart.*
**[19:52] Lucy**
I feel like I've met him before.
I wonder who he is.
**[19:56] Lucy**
He was so cool.
**[20:00] Yayoi**
I bet he was just some character
from a manga you've read!
**[20:03] Lucy**
It's not that.
**[20:05] Lucy**
But I think the ghost was the same
as the one in the photo.
**[20:10] Lucy**
The ghost in the pic is gone!
**[20:12] Yayoi**
You're right! It's just a normal pic
of Sujimori-sensei!
**[20:16] Yayoi**
I guess the image was just corrupt or something.
**[20:20] Lucy**
It's too bad.
**[20:21] Lucy**
Oh, well. I did get some
good shots of Lady Matsuri.
**[20:27] Matsuri**
That's from the limo ride over here!
**[20:30] Lucy**
You were so hyped,
you were drooling. It's fantastic.
**[20:33] Matsuri**
Hey, delete those!
**[20:35] Yayoi**
That's so funny! Send 'em this way!
**[20:37] Suzu**
I want them, too!
**[20:39] Lucy**
Sent.
**[20:40] Matsuri**
Hey, cut it out!
**[20:45] Yayoi**
Yeah, these pics are the best.
**[20:47] Matsuri**
Not in the least bit funny!
**[20:50] Suzu**
*So cute.*

Quit it with the scandalous look.

We used to play together all the time.
**[21:22] Garaku**

This male named Matsuri who was always

Did you expect the same intro as every
other episode? You fool. You utter imbecile.
**[00:08] Narratorshirogane**
This is a recap episode emceed by me,
the King of Ayakashi, Shirogane!
***SIGN*** Narration: Shirogane
(Voiced by Genda Tessho)
**[00:13] Narratorshirogane**
I shan't stand for any
scandalous developments!
**[00:16] Narratorshirogane**
Over the next 24 minutes, you will
come to understand how great I truly am.
**[00:21] Narratorshirogane**
All right, roll the opening!
**[01:58] Narratorshirogane**
Let's begin with the scene
in which I first appeared.
**[02:01] Suzu**
Yum!
**[02:02] Narratorshirogane**
I plotted to devour this girl, Kanade Suzu,
**[02:02] Suzu**
This is great! I'm in heaven!
**[02:06] Shirogane**
The more I look at this girl...
**[02:06] Narratorshirogane**
who has an extremely strong life force,
and return to my former glory, but...
**[02:12] Shirogane**
the more I want to eat her!
**[02:19] Matsuri**
Exorcist ninja, Kazamaki Matsuri.
**[02:22] Shirogane**
* An exorcist ninja?*
* From the Kazamaki Clan, no less?*
**[02:26] Matsuri**
Hup.
**[02:27] Shirogane**
Unhand me!
**[02:28] Shirogane**
I am the great Shirogane, you know?
**[02:31] Matsuri**
Like I care.
**[02:32] Matsuri**
My family deals in exorcising
ayakashi that are up to no good.
**[02:35] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[02:36] Narratorshirogane**
I was stopped by this exorcist ninja,
Kazamaki Matsuri!
**[02:38] Suzu**
What are you doing, Matsuri?
**[02:40] Suzu**
How could you pick on such a cute kitty?
**[02:40] Narratorshirogane**
If I had all my powers,
**[02:42] Narratorshirogane**
I could defeat him with one paw
tied behind my back! How vexing!
**[02:43] Matsuri**
Suzu...
**[02:45] Suzu**
He started driving away all
the ayakashi that came near me.
**[02:50] Shirogane**
I see.
**[02:52] Shirogane**
*That brat... He knows.*
**[02:55] Seigen**
He... Shirogane is...
**[03:00] Seigen**
Master of countless evil arts,
ruler of all ayakashi in this land...
**[03:07] Seigen**
The king of ayakashi!
**[03:08] Shirogane**
That is me!
**[03:11] Suzu**
Oh? You're the king of ayakashi?
**[03:14] Shirogane**
Amajing.
**[03:16] Shirogane**
So this is the power of an ayakashi medium.
**[03:19] Shirogane**
Rarely, among humans,
**[03:22] Shirogane**
appears one that life
practically seeps out from.
**[03:25] Shirogane**
Such humans possess
immense amounts of life energy.
**[03:30] Narratorshirogane**
Behold the magnificence!
**[03:33] Narratorshirogane**
This is what I, the king of
ayakashi, truly look like!
**[03:37] Narratorshirogane**
Aren't I simply awesome?
**[03:39] Narratorshirogane**
However, Kazamaki Matsuri
gets in the way yet again!
**[03:41] Shirogane**
*A scroll within the wind?!*
**[03:43] Matsuri**
*I didn't wanna resort to this...*
**[03:46] (Flashback) Seigen**
Use this.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Seigen**
I've poured my power into it
for thirty years to use against Shirogane.

**[04:27] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[04:28] Narratorshirogane**
there will be none of that nonsense!
**[04:31] Narratorshirogane**

**[04:33] Narratorshirogane**
Dousing yourself in hot water
doesn't undo this transformation spell.
**[04:36] Narratorshirogane**
Resign yourself to your fate!
**[04:37] Matsuri**
Get back here, flabster!
**[04:41] Suzu**
M... Ma... Matsuri?!
**[04:45] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[04:51] Matsuri**
I'm off to school. Bye.
**[04:53] Suzu**
Hmm... I can't believe
how cute you turned out.
**[04:57] Yayoi**
I'm Toba Yayoi. Just Yayo's fine by me.
**[05:01] Lucy**
Tsukioka Lucy. Please call me Lu.
**[05:05] Narratorshirogane**
Grr, when life gives Kazamaki Matsuri
lemons, he makes lemonade.
**[05:09] Narratorshirogane**
He enrolls in high school as a girl?
So very convenient.
**[05:09] Yayoi**
A tomboy *and* a huge rack! That's a first!
**[05:13] Lucy**
Not just silver hair and a pinwheel,
but also a choker?
**[05:13] Narratorshirogane**
Can he really fake his way through life
as a member of the fairer sex?
**[05:16] Lucy**
You're Grammable AF, Lady Matsuri!
**[05:19] Matsuri**
"Grammable"? "AF"?
**[05:22] Suzu**
*I can't believe Matsuri suggested this.*
**[05:25] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Let me become one
of your girl friends, Suzu.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Matsuri**
That way, I can protect you better.
**[05:32] Suzu**
*Is this okay?*
**[05:34] Suzu**
*Matsuri is a boy.*
**[05:37] Narratorshirogane**
I refuse to let this end
with my powers taken away!
**[05:38] Suzu**
Matsuri?
**[05:39] Matsuri**
Ack!
**[05:40] Narratorshirogane**
Humans are creatures with a bathing culture.
**[05:41] Matsuri**
Suzu?!
**[05:43] Narratorshirogane**
If I use a transformation skill
to take advantage of that...
**[05:43] Matsuri**
Wh-What are you thinking?
Ayakashi are more active at night!
**[05:47] Matsuri**
You can't be wandering around!
**[05:48] Shirogane**
Oh?
**[05:50] Shirogane**
There it is.
**[05:53] Shirogane**

**[06:15] Matsurisuzu**
To think my genius strategy of assuming
he wouldn't chase me stark naked
**[06:19] Shirogane**
Free me!
**[06:20] Matsurisuzu**
would be undone by some handy tools!
**[06:20] Shirogane**
Free me at once!
**[06:22] Matsuri**
Ugh, finally caught you.
**[06:23] Narratorshirogane**
I'm in huge trouble!
**[06:25] Shirogane**
Animal abuse!
**[06:27] Shirogane**
Are you really going to kill
this adorable animal?!
**[06:29] Matsuri**
Adorable, my ass!
You're the king of ayakashi!
**[06:32] Shirogane**
If you kill me,
**[06:34] Shirogane**
the spell will become a curse,
and you'll stay a girl forever.
**[06:41] Matsuri**
Outta the way, Suzu.
**[06:44] Matsuri**
I've gotta exorcise him.
**[06:45] Suzu**
Matsuri? But...
**[06:49] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[06:51] Shirogane**
*He's serious!*
**[06:53] Matsuri**
I have to do it.
**[06:55] Matsuri**
Even if I stay a girl forever.
**[06:59] Matsuri**
Any ayakashi that brings harm to humans...
**[07:03] Matsuri**
It's my duty to exorcise it!
**[07:13] Matsuri**
S-Suzu?!
**[07:15] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[07:17] Suzu**
Don't accept it so easily!
**[07:21] Suzu**
You turned into a girl because of me.
**[07:24] Suzu**
If you never go back to being a boy,
**[07:28] Suzu**
then I won't be able to live with myself!
**[07:33] Matsuri**
Sheesh.
**[07:34] Matsuri**
You're always so stubborn.
**[07:37] Matsuri**
There's no point arguing,
because you never change your mind!
**[07:40] Suzu**
So you'll...
**[07:41] Matsuri**
But that doesn't mean
I can let him roam free.
**[07:42] Shirogane**
Badump! Badump!
**[07:45] Suzu**
But...
**[07:47] Matsuri**
Fine. I know.
**[07:50] Matsuri**
Shirogane!
**[07:51] Matsuri**
Starting today, I'm taking you in as a pet!
**[07:53] Suzu**
Whoa!
**[07:54] Shirogane**
Eek!
**[07:54] Narratorshirogane**
How dare he treat the king
of ayakashi like some pet cat?!
**[07:55] Shirogane**
Meow!
**[07:58] Narratorshirogane**
I must regain my powers
and my dignity as soon as possible!
**[08:01] Suzu**
Morning!
**[08:03] Matsuri**
Suzu.
**[08:04] Suzu**
...I brought a colossally yummy
offering for Shirogane.
**[08:09] Suzu**
Suzu's handmade kibi dango!
**[08:11] Suzu**
AKA Suzu Dango!
**[08:14] Shirogane**
If you think you can domesticate me
like some stupid animal in a folktale...
**[08:15] Narratorshirogane**
Suzu Dango! You know, I love these dango!
**[08:19] Narratorshirogane**
With Kanade Suzu's haku energy flowing
through them, they're absolutely divine!
**[08:23] Shirogane**
This springy texture,
much like Kanade Suzu's thighs!
**[08:26] Shirogane**
*This subtle sweetness!*
**[08:29] Shirogane**
* As they're handmade, the ayakashi medium's*
* life energy accentuates the flavor.*
**[08:35] Shirogane**
*Oh, I'm head over heels!*
**[08:41] Suzu**
Do you like 'em?
**[08:42] Shirogane**
They're so-so.
**[08:44] Suzu**
I'll make some for you every day,
so will you give up on eating me?
**[08:48] Shirogane**
No way. Not happening.
**[08:49] Suzu**
Tch.
***SIGN*** Suzu
***SIGN*** It's fine. Don't worry.
***SIGN*** If I can become true
friends with Shirogane,
it'll solve everything.
**[08:56] Suzu**
* If I can become true friends with Shirogane,*
* it'll solve everything.*
**[09:03] Shirogane**
Sigh, this is a problem.
**[09:05] Shirogane**
* As long as Matsuri holds the scroll,*
* I need to keep a close eye on him.*
**[09:11] Shirogane**
* I suppose I'll have to act like his pet*
* and wait for my opportunity.*
**[09:21] Matsuri**
He's in this school, too?
**[09:23] Suzu**
You know him?
**[09:25] Soga**
Exorcist ninja...
**[09:26] Soga**
Ninokuru Soga.
**[09:28] Soga**
I'll finish you off in place
of that spineless Kazamaki!
**[09:32] Soga**
Suit up!
**[09:36] Soga**
I'm going to finish him off.
**[09:39] Narratorshirogane**
Not only am I being targeted by
the Kazamaki clan of exorcist ninja,
**[09:40] Shirogane**
Give *me* a break!
**[09:41] Narratorshirogane**
but also the Ninokuru clan?!
**[09:42] Soga**
Die!
**[09:44] Soga**
The next one won't miss.
**[09:44] Narratorshirogane**
I'm in huge trouble yet again! Help!
**[09:46] Soga**
You've used up the last of your nine lives!
**[09:54] Soga**
I came to respect you
**[09:56] Soga**
because I felt that
endlessly blazing hurricane
**[09:59] Soga**
blowing inside of you!
**[10:02] Matsuri**
Ninokuru-senpai...
**[10:08] Matsuri**
I have this stubborn
childhood friend, you see.
**[10:10] Soga**
What of it?
**[10:14] Matsuri**
She—Kanade Suzu—is an ayakashi medium.
**[10:20] Sogo**
An ayakashi medium?!
**[10:22] Matsuri**
So this guy's out to get her.
**[10:24] Matsuri**
He wants to devour Suzu's haku
**[10:26] Matsuri**
to return to his original self.
**[10:30] Matsuri**
And yet, she...
**[10:33] Matsuri**
She's seriously trying to become
friends with Shirogane!
**[10:38] Matsuri**
All so I can go back to being a guy.
**[10:41] Matsuri**
I still think there's no
middle ground with him,
**[10:44] Matsuri**
and that he should be exterminated.
**[10:48] Matsuri**
But I don't wanna go against her wishes.
**[10:53] Matsuri**
Because Suzu's existence
is the eye of my hurricane!
**[10:59] Soga**
You'll let Shirogane live
for the sake of that ayakashi medium?
**[11:04] Soga**
You naive fool.
**[11:05] Soga**
Then,
**[11:06] Soga**
you leave me no choice!
**[11:15] Narratorshirogane**
This exorcist ninja is a total pushover.
**[11:15] Soga**
Fine, I understand your reasoning!
I'm putting this matter on hold!
**[11:17] Narratorshirogane**
Good grief, that was a terrible experience.
**[11:19] Matsuri**
Huh? H-Hey! What's gotten into you?!
**[11:23] Ponosuke**
Did you exporcise him, Master?
**[11:26] Soga**
I'm a naive fool!

**[11:35] Shirogane**
Wha...
**[11:36] Shirogane**
What are you doing?!
**[11:38] Suzu**
I'm so glad you're okay.
**[11:40] Shirogane**
Unhand me, girl!
**[11:42] Suzu**
You must be hungry.
**[11:44] Suzu**
Here.
**[11:46] Shirogane**
Chomp, chomp, gulp!
**[11:47] Suzu**
Good?
**[11:48] Shirogane**
I went through hell today,
so I'm only eating to feel alive!
**[11:54] Shirogane**
* Ah, the ayakashi medium's*
* life energy is filling me up!*
**[12:00] Suzu**
Eek.
**[12:02] Matsuri**
* In the end, nothing's changed,*
* but that's fine.*
**[12:11] Narratorshirogane**
That pushover ninja's making another move.
**[12:13] Ponosuke**
Sir Kazamaki.
**[12:15] Narratorshirogane**
It'll probably lead to something stupid again.
**[12:15] Ponosuke**
I am Ninokuru Ponosuke...
**[12:18] Narratorshirogane**
I can tell.
**[12:18] Ponosuke**
I bring po you a message from Master.
**[12:20] Ponosuke**
"We have exorcist ninja matters to discuss.
**[12:22] Ponosuke**
Suit up and come to
the courtyard immediately!
**[12:25] Ponosuke**
Oh, and come alone," he says.
**[12:29] Matsuri**
What's this, Senpai?
**[12:31] Matsuri**
You wanna talk about Suzu, not Shirogane?
**[12:34] Soga**
I just thought I'd warn you as a colleague.
**[12:38] Soga**
Tell him, Ponosuke.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Travelingayakashi**
For example, the ayakashi
mediums of the past
**[12:43] (Flashback) Travelingayakashi**
were said to be both human and ayakashi.
**[12:47] Soga**
Kanade Suzu is just as much
an ayakashi as she is human.
**[12:51] Soga**
If she were to cause harm to humans,
**[12:54] Soga**
she could become a target for exorcism.
**[12:58] Ponosuke**
Po, no!
**[13:01] Matsuri**
Like hell! I'll beat you up, senpai or not.
**[13:04] Soga**
I'm just saying there's a chance.
Calm down, you naive fool.
**[13:08] Matsuri**
And I'm telling you there's
absolutely no chance!
**[13:15] Soga**
* C-C-C-C-Calm down, me!*
* He's a guy on the inside!*
**[13:18] Soga**
*These breasts are nothing!*
**[13:20] Soga**
*Stay strong, Ninokuru Soga, you naive fool!*
**[13:23] Ponosuke**
Master?
**[13:25] Soga**
A-Anyway, I've warned you.
Class is about to start!
**[13:25] Narratorshirogane**
As I thought.
**[13:28] Narratorshirogane**
But an outcome where
Kanade Suzu gets exorcised
**[13:28] Ponosuke**
Wait, Master!
**[13:31] Narratorshirogane**
is something I must prevent
for my own sake, as well.
**[13:43] Suzu**
*If only...*
**[13:45] Suzu**
If only a kiss could undo Matsuri's
transformation like in that TV show...
**[13:50] Suzu**
*it would make things so easy.*
**[13:54] Narratorshirogane**
This scandalous medium!
**[13:56] Narratorshirogane**
As if my Gender Swap Awakened spell
would be dispelled by a mere kiss!
**[14:01] Narratorshirogane**
But Kanade Suzu's powers,
paired with her scandalous fantasies,
**[14:01] Suzu**
Matsuri.
**[14:04] Narratorshirogane**
gave birth to an omokage shadow!
**[14:05] Suzu**
Leave everything to me...
**[14:11] Narratorshirogane**
Engaging in such scandalous
acts in my presence?!
**[14:14] Matsuri**
*Wh-What's happening?!*
**[14:15] Narratorshirogane**
However, this is the doing of the omokage
that Kanade Suzu manifested.
**[14:18] Shirogane**
*S-Scandalous!*
**[14:23] Matsuri**
Suzu! What are you...
**[14:28] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[14:33] Suzu**
A dream?
**[14:39] Seigen**
Hmm...
**[14:41] Seigen**
It might be an omokage shadow.
**[14:44] Suzu**
Omokage?
**[14:45] Seigen**
A cloning ayakashi.

Moo?!
**[14:53] Suzu**
That's it! This is Sakura Ranch!
**[14:55] Suzu**
Its crepes made from
freshly squeezed milk...
**[14:57] Suzu**
They're my favorite!
**[14:59] Matsuri**
Hurry!
**[15:00] Narratorshirogane**
Kanade Suzu's omokage followed her desires
**[15:04] Narratorshirogane**
and entered the ranch
in order to eat some crepes.
**[15:05] Seigen**
* Hurry, Matsuri!*
* Suzu-chan's fingers will break!*
**[15:07] Narratorshirogane**
We must capture it before its actions
hurt Kanade Suzu's own body!
**[15:09] Matsuri**
I'm going as fast as I can!
**[15:14] Shirogane**
Too far!
**[15:16] Shirogane**

Not the other way around!
**[15:47] Soga**
Kanade Suzu manifested an omokage?
**[15:50] Soga**
* ...Kanade Suzu's ayakashi side*
* is becoming more and more prominent.*
**[15:56] Soga**
* I have to do something*
* before it's too late.*
**[15:58] Suzu**
Ninokuru-senpai.
**[16:01] Soga**
You are...
**[16:02] Suzu**
Um... After school today...
**[16:06] Suzu**
Do you have some time to go out with me?
**[16:11] Suzu**
I want to talk to you about something.
**[16:14] Ponosuke**
*Sporingtime has arrived for Master!*
**[16:18] Narratorshirogane**
This pushover ninja again!
**[16:19] Suzu**
Huh... So there's
an Exorcist Ninja Association.
**[16:20] Narratorshirogane**
Kanade Suzu only wants to learn more
about exorcist ninja and ayakashi.
**[16:25] Ponosuke**
Master, your hands are shaking po much!
**[16:28] Soga**
I know.
**[16:29] Soga**
* But this tension,*
* talking to a girl face-to-face...*
**[16:34] Soga**
It's far easier to battle ayakashi!
**[16:37] Suzu**
Look at you two, whispering to each other.
**[16:40] Suzu**
How cute.
**[16:45] Soga**
*Huh?*
**[16:46] Suzu**
Ponosuke-chan, was it?
**[16:49] Soga**
*Oh, that's what she meant.*
**[16:52] Suzu**
I envy you, Senpai.
**[16:53] Suzu**
You have an ayakashi friend.
**[16:56] Soga**
He's a familiar.
**[16:58] Soga**
He's like a servant, not a friend.
**[17:02] Soga**
* That's right.*
* This girl is an ayakashi medium.*
**[17:06] Soga**
*She can see ayakashi.*
**[17:08] Suzu**
Are you happy being with Senpai?
**[17:10] Ponosuke**
But pof course!
**[17:13] Soga**
*He's in her arms already?!*
**[17:15] Narratorshirogane**
Kanade Suzu's hands emit
large amounts of haku energy.
**[17:15] Suzu**
I knew it. Ninokuru-senpai
seems so nice, after all.
**[17:19] Soga**
*Who, me?!*
**[17:20] Narratorshirogane**
If she touches you gently,
you lose yourself!
**[17:21] Soga**
*Nice...*
**[17:24] Suzu**
I used to play with all kinds
of ayakashi, so I can tell.
**[17:31] Suzu**
The two of you share a special relationship.
**[17:36] Suzu**
It makes me really happy to know
that there are people like you around.
**[17:44] Suzu**
See you, Ponosuke-chan.
**[17:47] Ponosuke**
Take care, Suzu-sama, Matsuri-dono.
**[17:55] Soga**
That girl...
**[17:57] Soga**
She's a goddess!
**[17:59] Ponosuke**
Yes.
**[18:00] Narratorshirogane**
He's way too easy!

Lady Matsuri, Lady Suzu!
You need to see this!
**[18:14] Lucy**
...I captured something crazy!
**[18:16] Narratorshirogane**
That's an Ikon, an ayakashi born
from humans' negative emotions.
**[18:17] Lucy**
I take 300 pics a day, but this is a first!
**[18:20] Narratorshirogane**
They possess people left and right and
consume their life force. How unpleasant.
**[18:21] Lucy**
I'm so hyped!
**[18:25] Narratorshirogane**
If it's not dealt with soon,
that girl's body will give out.
**[18:26] Suzu**
Matsuri, is that...
**[18:27] Matsuri**
Yeah, it's clearly...
**[18:29] Lucy**
Wow, this is a gem!
**[18:35] Matsuri**

**[19:28] Lucy**
What? But I haven't shown you
my manga collection.
**[19:33] Matsuri**
You can do that when you're better!

Right, I was gonna show Lady Matsuri
all these prized possessions.

You're right! It's just a normal pic

**[21:52] Yayoi**
I guess the image was
just corrupt or something.

**[23:09] Garaku**
Accept it as a token of our friendship.
**[23:12] Narratorshirogane**
That brings this recap episode to an end.
**[23:15] Narratorshirogane**
I trust you now understand how great I am!
**[23:16] Kappa**
It's so realistic, it's creepy!
**[23:18] Narratorshirogane**
Hmm?
**[23:19] Garaku**
But I paid so much attention to the texture!
**[23:19] Narratorshirogane**
This male artist's voice...
**[23:21] Narratorshirogane**
Why does it sound so untrustworthy?
**[23:22] Kappa**
By the way, who are you?
**[23:24] Kappa**
Never seen you around here before.
**[23:27] Garaku**
Oh.
**[23:29] Garaku**
I'm a traveler...
**[23:31] Garaku**
A wandering artist.

**[00:03] Soga**
So you're here, Kazamaki.
**[00:05] Matsuri**
Heya, Ninokuru-senpai.
**[00:07] Matsuri**
So, what's this important matter
you wanted to discuss?
**[00:09] Matsuri**
Better not be that crap about
Suzu being an ayakashi again.
**[00:13] Soga**
It's not. Well, uh...
**[00:16] Soga**
It is about her, but...
**[00:21] Soga**
I have fallen in love with Kanade Suzu.
**[00:25] Matsuri**
Wha? A-Are you serious, Ninokuru-senpai?!
**[00:27] Soga**
I know she's an important
person in your life,
**[00:31] Soga**
so I thought I should let you know.
**[00:33] Matsuri**
I-It's not like I...
**[00:35] Matsuri**
I mean, we grew up together.
She's like family.
**[00:39] Matsuri**
I don't really have any say
in who she dates and stuff.
**[00:43] Soga**
So you have no problem with it?
**[00:46] Soga**
I can go ahead and tell her how I feel?
**[00:53] Suzu**
How do you like that?
**[00:55] Matsuri**
Suzu.
**[00:58] Matsuri**
Senpai has something to say to you.
**[01:00] Suzu**
Oh, hello, Ninokuru-senpai.
**[01:03] Suzu**
What is it?
**[01:04] Soga**
Uh... Um, well...
**[01:08] Soga**
*Now say it, Ninokuru Soga!*
**[01:10] Soga**
* Tell her, "I will protect you,*
* along with Kazamaki"!*
**[01:16] Soga**
I...!
**[01:21] Soga**
I will protect Kazamaki!
**[01:24] Matsuri**
Wha?!
**[01:24] Suzu**
Huh?
**[01:27] Matsuri**
Uh, Senpai, what was that?
**[01:30] Soga**
* Shoot, I panicked and blurted out*
* something strange!*
**[01:33] Soga**
* Does she think I'm a weirdo now?*
* It's not what you think...*
**[01:37] Soga**
Because Kazamaki is my colleague! That's all!
**[01:41] Matsuri**
* He was so flustered.*
* He must be serious about Suzu.*
**[01:45] Suzu**
* Did he just declare himself*
* my rival in love?*
**[01:48] Shirogane**
Hmph! My moment of euphoria, ruined!
**[01:53] Shirogane**
Gimme a Suzu Dango to make me feel better.
**[01:55] Suzu**
Oh, okay.
**[01:58] Suzu**
Here you go.
**[02:05] Matsuri**
An ayakashi?!
**[02:15] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[02:17] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[02:22] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[02:25] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[02:30] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[02:37] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
**[04:11] Suzu**
Is there really an ayakashi in the school?
**[04:13] Suzu**
Is it something like
the Tripper-Upper again?
**[04:16] Matsuri**
My pinwheel wouldn't react
to something as weak as that.
***SIGN*** Episode 7: "Utagawa Garaku"
**[04:19] Matsuri**
It's an ayakashi with much
more spiritual power.
**[04:22] Garaku**
Whoo, your muscles are seriously impressive!
**[04:26] Garaku**
I would love to draw them later.
**[04:29] Sujimori**
I'd be honored!
**[04:30] Principal**
I'm surprised that *the* Utagawa Garaku-sensei
came to our school for inspiration.
**[04:37] Garaku**
I'm searching for a subject
that just grabs me.
**[04:41] Sujimori**
Then allow me to give you a tour
of the school, Garaku-sensei!
**[04:45] Garaku**
Thank you, but I would like to
interact with your students, too.
**[04:51] Garaku**
For example...
**[04:52] Garaku**
Might I ask those two to show
me around, Madam Principal?
**[04:57] Principal**
Oh!
**[04:58] Principal**
Would you do that for us?
**[05:02] Matsuri**
Understood, Madam Principal.
**[05:05] Suzu**
Matsuri, that guy...
**[05:07] Matsuri**
You can tell, too, huh?
**[05:08] Matsuri**
He looks human, but he's definitely...
**[05:11] Garaku**
Whoo!
**[05:12] Garaku**
You two are so pretty! So picturesque!
**[05:17] Matsuri**
...an ayakashi!
**[05:19] Matsuri**
* And what is with his*
* immense ayakashi energy?*
**[05:23] Matsuri**
*It's endless!*
**[05:26] Suzu**
This is our class.
**[05:29] Garaku**
Oh, how I love it!
**[05:31] Garaku**
You spend days together
facing the same desks,
**[05:33] Garaku**
filled with a web of hopes and melancholy!
**[05:36] Garaku**
Ah, youth!
**[05:38] Suzu**
R-Right...
**[05:39] Lucy**
Huh? Holy cow.
**[05:41] Lucy**
Lady Suzu and Lady Matsuri are giving
a tour to Utagawa Garaku, in the flesh!
**[05:46] Yayoi**
Who?
**[05:48] Lucy**
A famous artist. One of the best in Japan.
**[05:51] Lucy**
My father's a fan.
Owns a bunch of his works.
**[05:55] Yayoi**
Huh...
**[05:58] Garaku**
Schools are great!
**[06:00] Garaku**
So much youthful energy here.
**[06:03] Garaku**
It fuels my creative juices!
**[06:06] Suzu**
Um, I hate to ask, but...
You're an ayakashi, right?
**[06:11] Suzu**
Why are you taking the shape of a human?
**[06:14] Garaku**
This is my usual form.
**[06:17] Garaku**
Curious, are we,
**[06:18] Garaku**
ayakashi medium?
**[06:21] Matsuri**
So you're here for Suzu after all!
**[06:25] Garaku**
Love it!
**[06:27] Garaku**
A lady knight protecting her princess!
**[06:30] Garaku**
I need to draw that expression!
**[06:32] Garaku**
But what a tragedy...
**[06:35] Garaku**
You've had Gender Swap
Awakened cast on you, right?
**[06:38] Garaku**
Shirogane-san can be such a meanie.
**[06:42] Suzu**
Do you know Shirogane?
**[06:44] Garaku**
I guess you could say that.
**[06:47] Garaku**
So where is he?
**[06:49] Garaku**
I figured he'd be with you.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Shirogane**
Someone I hate just showed up,
so I'm going to make myself scarce.
**[06:55] Matsuri**
...he said.
**[06:56] Garaku**
Aw, it's so sad that he hates me.
**[06:58] Garaku**
And here,
**[07:00] Garaku**
I fully accept him as king.
**[07:04] Garaku**
I need him to remain on that throne.
**[07:08] Garaku**
So I'm sorry, Matsuri-kun...
**[07:16] Garaku**
But I must ask you to hand over
**[07:18] Garaku**
the God-Sealing Scroll.
**[07:21] Matsuri**
*A brush?*
**[07:23] Matsuri**
*He instantly drew that on the floor?!*
**[07:26] Garaku**
Art Reflects Reality.
**[07:38] Suzu**
Matsuri?!
**[07:39] Matsuri**
Stay back, Suzu!
**[07:48] Matsuri**
Hey!
**[07:49] Matsuri**
Don't undress me!
**[07:50] Garaku**
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
**[07:53] Garaku**
It's just searching for the scroll.
**[07:57] Matsuri**
Why, you...
**[07:58] Suzu**
Matsuri?!
**[08:04] Soga**
Ninokuru Soga joins the fray!
**[08:08] Matsuri**
S-Senpai!
**[08:10] Suzu**
* Ninokuru-senpai's protecting*
* Matsuri, just like he said!*
**[08:14] Garaku**
Oh, I see. There was another exorcist ninja.
**[08:18] Matsuri**
I... I'm sorry, Ninokuru-senpai!
**[08:21] Soga**
H-Hurry up and change into your ninja gear!
**[08:24] Matsuri**
R-Right.
**[08:25] Matsuri**
Suit up!
**[08:26] Garaku**
Ah, yes, the Ninokuru clan.
**[08:28] Garaku**
I've heard about you through
the ayakashi grapevine.
**[08:31] Garaku**
A prestigious clan of exorcist ninjas
boasting extraordinary speed, was it?
**[08:36] Soga**
I know of you, too, Utagawa Garaku.
**[08:39] Soga**
An eccentric ayakashi, traveling and drawing
amongst the humans since the Edo period.
**[08:44] Soga**
Since you've posed no harm,
**[08:45] Soga**
the Exorcist Ninja Association has long
taken a wait-and-see approach with you.
**[08:48] Soga**
But it looks like that's going to end.
**[08:52] Garaku**
That would be a problem.
**[08:54] Garaku**
I have no intention of getting
on the Association's bad side.
**[08:59] Soga**
Too late.
**[09:01] Soga**
You attacked Kazamaki.
**[09:03] Soga**
You have to die, and now.
**[09:05] Suzu**
So fast!
**[09:06] Matsuri**
But, Senpai, that's just...
**[09:09] Soga**
What? A drawing?!
**[09:11] Garaku**
Whoo, you truly are lightning fast!
**[09:15] Garaku**
I'm no match for you in a battle of speed...
**[09:18] Garaku**
except when it comes to drawing.
**[09:26] Soga**
* I can't break them! A huge amount of*
* ayakashi energy is infused in this art!*
**[09:30] Soga**
* So this is Art Reflects Reality...*
* Utagawa Garaku's signature spell!*
**[09:34] Yayoi**
So, this Utagawa... what's-his-face?
**[09:37] Lucy**
Utagawa Garaku.
**[09:39] Yayoi**
If he's so famous, shouldn't
you get his autograph?
**[09:43] Lucy**
I guess it *would* make my dad jump for joy.
**[09:44] Garaku**
Whoo, we have company.
**[09:47] Garaku**
Art Reflects Reality Barrier:
**[09:50] Garaku**
Partition Wall.
**[09:53] Yayoi**
Huh?
**[09:54] Lucy**
Was this always a dead end?
**[09:57] Yayoi**
Our school is built weird.
I still don't know my way around.
**[10:00] Yayoi**
Let's go that way.
**[10:01] Lucy**
Yeah.
**[10:01] Garaku**
Nice. They didn't even question it.
**[10:05] Garaku**
My Art Reflects Reality spell
is effective on humans.
**[10:08] Garaku**
After all, art exists to be seen by people.
**[10:13] Garaku**
Handy, isn't it?
**[10:14] Garaku**
Meanwhile, your skills are somewhat
unsuited to an indoor battle.
**[10:19] Garaku**
No matter how fast you are, you can't
hit top speed in this narrow hallway.
**[10:25] Garaku**
And...
**[10:40] Matsuri**
Get... off of me!
**[10:43] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[10:47] Garaku**
Way off-target.
**[10:49] Matsuri**
Hey, hands off!
**[10:51] Garaku**
And Matsuri-kun... You can't use
your wind carelessly when indoors.
**[10:56] Garaku**
A strong gust might break some windows,
**[10:58] Garaku**
possibly injuring innocent bystanders.
**[11:02] Matsuri**
Shoot!
**[11:05] Suzu**
You're not getting this!
**[11:06] Soga**
Kanade Suzu!
**[11:07] Matsuri**
Don't!
**[11:08] Garaku**
Wow, you're a brave one.
**[11:11] Garaku**
But now you're in danger.
**[11:15] Garaku**
My cute little octopus,
who I ordered to obtain the scroll,
**[11:20] Garaku**
is still alive and wriggling.
**[11:22] Matsuri**
Suzu!
**[11:31] Matsuri**
Suzu!
**[11:33] Suzu**
*No!*
**[11:34] Suzu**
* Without this scroll,*
* we'll have nothing on Shirogane!*
**[11:39] Suzu**
* Matsuri won't be able*
* to turn back into a boy!*
**[11:41] Suzu**
*So...*
**[11:44] Suzu**
*I won't let you have it!*
**[11:51] Soga**
What?
**[11:52] Soga**
That octopus of Garaku's that
was trying to steal the scroll
**[11:55] Soga**
is now acting like it's
defending Kanade Suzu!
**[12:04] Garaku**
*It's obeying her.*
**[12:06] Garaku**
*She hijacked my spell?*
**[12:12] Garaku**
Wow! So this is an ayakashi medium at work!
**[12:16] Garaku**
I've never had my art turn on me before.
**[12:20] Garaku**
I would love to see more of your power.
**[12:23] Matsuri**
Not happening.
**[12:25] Matsuri**
Art class is over, Utagawa Garaku.
**[12:31] Garaku**
Don't do this, Matsuri-kun.
**[12:33] Garaku**
You know a gust of wind
indoors would be dang—
**[12:35] Matsuri**
My wind can scatter more than just ayakashi!
**[12:39] Matsuri**
Exorcist Ninja Art:
**[12:41] Matsuri**
Twister Ball!
**[12:49] Garaku**
* So that's why he turned*
* on the faucet earlier.*
**[12:55] Soga**
Well done, Kazamaki!
**[12:58] Garaku**
You got me.
**[13:00] Garaku**
I'm amazed you figured out how
Art Reflects Reality works so quickly.
**[13:04] Matsuri**
I have Ninokuru-senpai to thank for that.
**[13:07] Matsuri**
The drawing he slashed turned
back into ink and evaporated.
**[13:10] Matsuri**
Your spell uses ink as its medium.
**[13:13] Matsuri**
The walls and floor are drenched.
**[13:15] Matsuri**
You won't be able to draw anything new now.
**[13:18] Matsuri**
Prepare to die!
**[13:20] Garaku**
I'm sorry!
**[13:24] Matsuri**
* That's the first time*
* I've seen anyone kowtow...*
**[13:26] Garaku**
I apologize.
**[13:28] Garaku**
I was just having a little fun
trying to learn more about you kids,
**[13:30] Garaku**
but I guess I went too far.
**[13:32] Matsuri**
What?!
**[13:34] Garaku**
To be honest, I don't really
care about the scroll.
**[13:37] Garaku**
From the start,
**[13:38] Garaku**
I've been opposed to Shirogane-san trying
to devour the ayakashi medium.
**[13:43] Suzu**
I think he's telling the truth.
**[13:46] Suzu**
He never really did anything to hurt us.
**[13:50] Matsuri**
Suzu...
**[13:52] Suzu**
Garaku-san, could you tell me what you know
**[13:55] Suzu**
about me—about ayakashi mediums?
**[13:59] Garaku**
Of course.
**[14:00] Garaku**
That was my intention from the beginning.
**[14:03] Garaku**
I think you ought to know...
**[14:06] Garaku**
that you have the potential
to become god of the ayakashi.
**[14:11] Suzu**
God of the ayakashi...?
**[14:14] Matsuri**
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
**[14:18] Seigen**
Oh, Utagawa Garaku?
**[14:21] Seigen**
He's one of the strongest ayakashi
that the Association is aware of.
**[14:27] Seigen**
I'd heard he was only interested in drawing...
**[14:31] Seigen**
So why did he show up in our town now?
**[14:36] Matsuri**
We really should keep an eye on him, huh?
**[14:40] Matsuri**
Suzu will be back tomorrow,
so I'll tell her then.
**[14:42] Seigen**
Oh, sorry, Matsuri.
**[14:45] Seigen**
There's a neighborhood meeting tomorrow
afternoon, and it's our turn to be the hosts.
**[14:50] Matsuri**
Oh, really?
**[14:51] Matsuri**
Guess I'll have to see her somewhere else.
**[14:57] Matsuri**
Suzu's place, huh?
**[14:58] Matsuri**
I haven't been inside since grade school.
**[15:01] Ritta**
Coming!
**[15:03] Matsuri**
Hey, Ritta!
**[15:05] Matsuri**
It's been ages! You've grown so much!
**[15:08] Ritta**
Huh? And you are...?
**[15:12] Ritta**
Have we met before?
**[15:14] Matsuri**
Y-Yeah! J-Just for a little bit!
**[15:17] Matsuri**
I'm Suzu's friend—
**[15:19] Suzu**
Oh, Matsuri. You're here early.
**[15:22] Suzu**
Come on in.
**[15:23] Matsuri**
Th-Thanks.
**[15:26] Matsuri**
Sorry to show up outta the blue.
**[15:29] Suzu**
No, it's no problem.
**[15:31] Ritta**
*Matsuri?*
**[15:33] Ritta**
*That kid Sis used to play with all the time?*
**[15:35] Ritta**
*I didn't know that was a girl.*
**[15:37] Ritta**
* She's gotten a lot flashier.*
* High school changes people, huh?*
**[15:43] Ritta**
*Also, like...*
**[15:45] Ritta**
*Her boobs are out of this world!*

**[15:50] Suzu**
Shirogane came, too?
**[15:52] Matsuri**
Who knows what he'll get up to
if I take my eye off him?
**[15:56] Shirogane**
I am merely here for Suzu Dango.
**[16:00] Suzu**
Yeah, I know. I did make some.
**[16:06] Matsuri**
* Suzu's room smells so good...*
* It's making me space out.*
**[16:13] Matsuri**
*There's more girly stuff in here than before.*
**[16:21] Suzu**
Matsuri, are you okay with soda?
**[16:24] Matsuri**
S-Sure. Anything's fine.
**[16:26] Suzu**
Okay. Just have a seat wherever.
**[16:31] Matsuri**
According to Gramps,
**[16:33] Matsuri**
Garaku is the tsukumogami of a brush
used by a famous artist a long time ago.
**[16:37] Matsuri**
He's apparently one of the strongest
ayakashi the Association knows about.
**[16:42] Suzu**
A tsukumogami? What's that?
**[16:44] Matsuri**
An object or a tool used for a long time
that turns into an ayakashi.
**[16:47] Suzu**
Huh...
**[16:48] Shirogane**
Garaku's form and personality strongly
reflect the human who used him.
**[16:55] Shirogane**
And that artist supposedly loved cats.
**[17:00] Garaku**
Shirogane-san!
**[17:02] Garaku**
I found you at last!
**[17:04] Shirogane**
Garaku?!
**[17:05] Shirogane**
Oh, no!
**[17:07] Suzu**
Uh, this is the second floor.
**[17:12] Garaku**
Pardon my intrusion!
**[17:16] Garaku**
Shirogane-san! You're so cute!
**[17:19] Garaku**
Your usual form is cute, too,
but now you're so fluffy!
**[17:19] Shirogane**
Stop it! Don't rub your face on me!
**[17:24] Garaku**
Let me just borrow
Shirogane-san so we can catch up.
**[17:28] Garaku**
Enjoy your alone time!
**[17:35] Matsurisuzu**
*It's just the two of us...*
**[17:39] Matsuri**
*Wh-Why am I getting all self-conscious?*
**[17:42] Matsuri**
*It's not like that between us!*
**[17:48] Suzu**
Wh-What do you think?
**[17:49] Matsuri**
Huh? About what?!
**[17:50] Suzu**
What Garaku said...
**[17:53] Suzu**
You know, about the god
of ayakashi or whatever.
**[17:56] Matsuri**
Oh, that?
**[17:59] (Flashback) Suzu**
God of the ayakashi...?
**[18:01] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
**[18:03] (Flashback) Garaku**
Well...
**[18:05] Garaku**
As you know, humans have two types of energy:
***SIGN*** Kon
***SIGN*** Spiritual energy
***SIGN*** Haku
***SIGN*** Physical energy
**[18:10] Garaku**
kon and haku.
***SIGN*** Kon
***SIGN*** Spiritual energy
***SIGN*** Haku
***SIGN*** Physical energy
**[18:12] Garaku**
An ayakashi medium can
freely manipulate haku,
**[18:14] Garaku**
the life energy contained
in the physical body.
**[18:19] Garaku**
And ayakashi are energy organisms
that only have haku.
***SIGN*** Haku
***SIGN*** = Ayakashi energy
**[18:23] Garaku**
Ayakashi equals haku.
**[18:25] (Flashback) Garaku**
As such, an ayakashi medium can
perform miraculous deeds for ayakashi.
**[18:30] (Flashback) Garaku**
By sending out haku,
**[18:32] (Flashback) Garaku**
they can heal wounds and
nullify curses or spells.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Garaku**
That's why, in the past, some were even
worshiped as gods by the weaker ayakashi.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Garaku**
But of course!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Garaku**
Controlling and commanding lives
**[18:46] (Flashback) Garaku**
would put one among the ranks
of gods and deities.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Garaku**
You hold that much power over ayakashi.
You're a sublime existence for us.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Garaku**
And you need to be more
aware of it, Suzu-kun.
**[19:00] Matsuri**
I find it hard to believe what he said.
**[19:04] Matsuri**
Humans can only increase or control
their kon through training.
**[19:09] Matsuri**
And that's just the spiritual energy.
**[19:11] Matsuri**
Exorcist ninja training is
all done to strengthen kon.
**[19:16] Matsuri**
There's no way you, without any training,
could send *haku* into another being.
**[19:21] Suzu**
Hmm...
**[19:22] Suzu**
But Garaku-san said
**[19:25] Suzu**
that I unconsciously sent my haku
into the octopus to make it obey me.
**[19:30] Suzu**
If that's true, isn't it amazing?
**[19:33] Suzu**
Maybe I could make this guy move, too!
**[19:35] Suzu**
Move, move!
**[19:38] Matsuri**
I bet that was just Garaku's
spell malfunctioning.
**[19:42] Matsuri**
It wasn't your power...
**[19:47] Suzu**
It... It's moving!
**[19:50] Matsuri**
Suzu!
**[19:51] Suzu**
Eek!
**[19:53] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[20:08] (Flashback) Garaku**
By sending out haku,
**[20:10] (Flashback) Garaku**
they can heal wounds and
nullify curses or spells.
**[20:15] Suzu**
*Nullify curses or spells?!*
**[20:19] Matsuri**
Hey, Suzu! What are you...
**[20:25] Suzu**
*If I have the ability*
**[20:28] Suzu**
*to undo the spell cast on Matsuri,*
**[20:32] Suzu**
*it might be the first time that I'll be happy*
**[20:36] Suzu**
*that I'm an ayakashi medium!*
**[20:40] Matsuri**
*Something hot's flowing into me from Suzu.*
**[20:44] Matsuri**
*Is this her haku?*
**[20:48] Suzu**
*Matsuri, come back to me!*
**[21:06] Suzu**
Nothing's happening...
**[21:12] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[21:14] Matsuri**
I felt your power, but that was it.
**[21:17] Matsuri**
It naturally left my body and disappeared.
**[21:20] Matsuri**
That's what it felt like.
**[21:25] Suzu**
But my power went inside you.
**[21:29] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[21:31] Matsuri**
D-Doesn't it wear you out?
**[21:33] Suzu**
Not at all. I'm an ayakashi medium.
**[21:37] Ritta**
Hey, Sis, about tonight's dinner...
**[21:46] Ritta**
I'm sorry, Sis!
**[21:47] Suzu**
R-Ritta? It's not what you think!
**[21:50] Garaku**
The little brother's reaction was great.
**[21:53] Garaku**
I'm going to draw him!
**[21:54] Shirogane**
I sense something akin to Suzu in that one.
**[21:58] Garaku**
*It seems coming here was the right decision.*

**[00:32] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[00:36] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[00:38] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[00:43] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[00:46] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[00:51] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[00:58] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
***SIGN*** Episode 8: "Her First"
**[02:45] Garaku**
Impressive, Suzu-kun.
**[02:48] Garaku**
To have that much control of one's haku,
just by being made aware of it...
**[02:54] Garaku**
As I thought, her nature is
closer to ayakashi than human.
**[02:59] Garaku**
If she can't control it, an omokage
will supposedly emerge.
**[03:04] Shirogane**
Hmph. Already happened.
**[03:08] Garaku**
And you still didn't tell them
about it? You're so mean.
**[03:16] Garaku**
They're amusing kids.
**[03:18] Garaku**
Why don't you just tell them your
objective and team up with them?
**[03:25] Shirogane**
I'm not teaming up with humans.
**[03:49] Matsuri**
What was that all about?
**[03:54] Shirogane**
Hey, Matsuri!
**[03:56] Matsuri**
Don't just barge into my room!
**[04:01] Shirogane**
A nasty one's shown up for you to deal with!
**[04:14] Matsuri**
There's the target.
**[04:17] Matsuri**
Another Ikon?
**[04:19] Matsuri**
An ayakashi attacking its own kind.
**[04:22] Matsuri**
It's also starting to take shape,
**[04:24] Matsuri**
so I'd better take care of it
before it develops any further.
**[04:27] Shirogane**
How unpleasant.
**[04:29] Shirogane**
If you release my seal,
I'll deal with it for you.
**[04:33] Matsuri**
Says the one who's way more dangerous.
**[04:35] Matsuri**
Actually, why did you tag along, Shirogane?
**[04:38] Matsuri**
You should've stayed home and
played video games with Gramps.
**[04:41] Shirogane**
I'm not obligated to explain anything to you.
**[04:44] Matsuri**
Just so you know, you're not
getting a chance to steal the scroll.
**[04:54] Matsuri**
What?!
**[05:02] Shirogane**
Why, you dirty ninja!
**[05:06] Matsuri**
Damn it!
**[05:07] Matsuri**
I gotta fight like this?!
**[05:15] Soga**
Your ninja gear is broken?
**[05:18] Soga**
I didn't know that was possible.
**[05:19] Matsuri**
Yeah. You should be careful, too.
**[05:22] Matsuri**
You don't wanna end up with
your fundoshi on display.
**[05:25] Soga**
Not that it's any of your business,
but I'm a boxers guy.
**[05:29] Matsuri**
I'll stop by Korogi
after school to get it fixed.
**[05:34] Matsuri**
Do you wanna come?
**[05:35] Soga**
No. I need to go home and train.
**[05:39] Soga**
After Utagawa Garaku took me down so easily,
**[05:42] Soga**
I have no right to protect Kanade Suzu.
**[05:46] Soga**
I'm still a naive fool!
**[05:48] Ponosokue**
He's been despondent for a while now.
**[05:52] Matsuri**
I don't like it either, Ninokuru-senpai.
**[05:55] Matsuri**
If Garaku had attacked for real,
**[05:58] Matsuri**
I would've been the first to go down.
**[06:03] Matsuri**
Let's both get stronger, together!
**[06:08] Soga**
R-Right.
**[06:10] Soga**
Kazamaki, even if you don't have
your gear, be ready for battle.
**[06:15] Soga**
Looks like Omiko City
is pretty unstable right now.
**[06:20] Matsuri**
Yeah, I know.
**[06:40] Garaku**
You put too much haku into the crane.
**[06:44] Garaku**
Its movements were odd, too.
**[06:46] Garaku**
You forgot how cranes naturally move while
you were folding the paper, didn't you?
**[06:51] Suzu**
Ugh, this is colossally hard.
**[06:55] Garaku**
Well, take your time learning
how to control your haku.
**[06:59] Garaku**
Origami is perfect to practice on.
**[07:01] Garaku**
You can focus your mind as you fold,
**[07:04] Garaku**
and you'll be able to tell immediately
if you fail, like now.
**[07:07] Suzu**
Right.
**[07:09] Garaku**
If you can master your ayakashi medium power,
**[07:13] Garaku**
even undoing Shirogane-san's spell
might become possible for you...
**[07:16] Garaku**
I think.
**[07:17] Shirogane**
How dare you, Garaku!? Whose side are you on?
**[07:20] Garaku**
I'm on nobody's side.
**[07:23] Matsuri**
I just want the opportunity to draw
a full-fledged ayakashi medium.
**[07:28] Garaku**
It's my nature as a brush ayakashi, perhaps.
**[07:30] Shirogane**
* Damn, I should've known.*
* I can't trust this guy!*
**[07:36] Matsuri**
Hey, Suzu!
**[07:38] Suzu**
Oh, Matsuri.
**[07:40] Matsuri**
Let's go.
**[07:43] Garaku**
Heya.
**[07:47] Garaku**
Maybe I should be on my way, as well.
**[07:50] Shirogane**
Then unhand me sooner!
**[07:54] Garaku**
Oh, Suzu-kun!
**[07:56] Suzu**
Yes?
**[07:57] Garaku**
While you're at it, it might be a good
idea to stock up on folded origami.
**[08:01] Garaku**
Might come in handy in emergencies
if you fuel it with your haku.
**[08:05] Suzu**
Right...
**[08:07] Matsuri**
Don't talk to Garaku without me.
**[08:10] Matsuri**
He's up to something.
**[08:12] Suzu**
You think?
**[08:17] Suzu**
Where are we going?
**[08:19] Matsuri**
A shop.
***SIGN*** Toys'n'Stuff
***SIGN*** Korogi
**[08:22] Matsuri**
Hey!
**[08:24] Matsuri**
They've got new Switch On stuff!
**[08:27] Suzu**
I know you said a shop,
***SIGN*** Toys'n'Stuff
***SIGN*** Korogi
**[08:29] Suzu**
but this is a toy store.
**[08:31] Matsuri**
For those who don't have the sight, yeah.
**[08:34] Matsuri**
But take a look inside.
**[08:42] Suzu**
Huh?
**[08:43] Suzu**
Is this...
***SIGN*** Caltrops
**[08:46] Matsuri**
Mixed in among the toys
are real exorcist ninja tools.
**[08:51] Matsuri**
But they have a spell cast on them,
so normal people can't recognize them.
***SIGN*** God-Sealing
**[08:55] Suzu**
Wow...
**[08:57] Matsuri**
There's even a workshop in the back
where they make special-order items.
**[09:02] Matsuri**
This is Korogi, a toy store
and exorcist ninja tool shop.
**[09:06] Suzu**
I see!
**[09:08] Shirogane**
Ayakashi glue traps?
**[09:10] Shirogane**
That stuff will rip the fur right off.
**[09:21] Shirogane**
I'm being defiled!
**[09:23] Suzu**
Shirogane?!
**[09:25] Suzu**
Hold it!
**[09:26] Matsuri**
Another Ikon?
**[09:28] Suzu**
The same type that possessed Lu?
**[09:31] Matsuri**
Damn! Why's there so many of them lately?
**[09:34] Reo**
Get back here!
**[09:39] Reo**
Exorcist Ninja Tool:
**[09:41] Reo**
Swift-Footed Idaten Wheels!
***SIGN*** Swift-Footed Idaten Wheels
**[09:57] Reo**
Followed up by...
**[10:01] Reo**
Sealing Tube!
**[10:03] Shirogane**
Argh! I'm getting sucked in!
**[10:09] Reo**
No worries.
**[10:11] Reo**
This item can only suck up
formless ayakashi like Ikon.
**[10:17] Reo**
The insides are enchanted
to seal ayakashi in,
**[10:22] Reo**
and the materials are low-cost,
so I can keep the price down.
**[10:27] Reo**
Wait, what are you, a pig ayakashi?
**[10:28] Shirogane**
I'm a noble white cat!
**[10:31] Suzu**
Matsuri, is that girl an exorcist ninja, too?
**[10:34] Matsuri**
Yeah, just...
**[10:36] Matsuri**
She specializes in craftsmanship.
**[10:39] Matsuri**
Successor to the Korogi clan, who've
been making tools here for generations,
**[10:46] Matsuri**
she's Korogi Reo.
**[10:49] Reo**
Matsuri-kun!
**[10:51] Matsuri**
Hey, Reo.
**[10:52] Matsuri**
What's with the Ikon?
**[10:54] Reo**
I caught it in an Ikon trap
I set in the shopping district.
**[10:59] Reo**
We don't have much data on them,
so I wanted to do some research,
**[11:03] Reo**
but then it escaped.
**[11:06] Reo**
Anyway, is this a friend of yours?
**[11:09] Matsuri**
Yeah. I've mentioned her before.
**[11:12] Matsuri**
My childhood friend, Kanade Suzu.
**[11:14] Suzu**
H-Hello.
**[11:16] Reo**
Oh, then you're the ayakashi medium!
**[11:19] Reo**
And you must be the king of ayakashi!
**[11:22] Reo**
Wow, you're both sensational!
**[11:29] Reo**
This guy's more powerful than I thought!
**[11:33] Matsuri**
Get back, Reo.
**[11:34] Matsuri**
Research time is over.
I'll scatter it to the winds.
***SIGN*** Demon Wind Shuriken
**[11:40] Matsuri**
Demon Wind Shuriken!
**[11:48] Reo**
Super sensational!
**[11:50] Matsuri**
Hey! Get off me, Reo!
**[11:53] Reo**
Impeccable!
**[11:54] Reo**
Perfect use of the Demon Wind Shuriken!
**[11:57] Reo**
That was great, Matsuri-kun!
**[12:01] Reo**
But I should expect no less
of the person who was my first.
**[12:09] Suzu**
*H-Her first...?*

**[12:31] Matsuri**

*Start!*
**[13:00] Reo**
Now that he's in a woman's body,
his moves are more graceful.
**[13:05] Reo**
His reach and strength went down a bit,
but he's covering for them well.
**[13:10] Suzu**
I never imagined a toy store
would have all this underground.
**[13:14] Suzu**
So, uh, what are we doing right now?
**[13:17] Reo**
While we're fixing Matsuri-kun's ninja gear,
**[13:20] Reo**
I thought we might as well get
an update on his physical data.
**[13:24] Reo**
Exorcist ninja gear incorporates defense
and stealth spells fine-tuned to its user.
**[13:30] Reo**
It's also high-tech equipment
with air-conditioning functionality,
**[13:33] Reo**
so it's necessary to perform regular
maintenance and update the gear's data.
**[13:38] Reo**
As the artisan in charge of Matsuri-kun,
**[13:41] Reo**
I need to know more about
his body than anyone else!
**[13:45] Suzu**
*His body?!*
**[13:48] Reo**
It's the first time I've gotten data on him
since he became a girl, so I'm hyped!
**[13:54] Reo**
Oh, my. These numbers have changed, too.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Reo**
But I should expect no less
of the person who was my first.
**[14:04] Suzu**
*S-So she meant what she said?!*
**[14:06] Suzu**
*While Matsuri and I lost touch...*
**[14:10] Reo**
Let me measure this thingy here, too.
**[14:13] Matsuri**
S-Sure.
**[14:17] Suzu**
K... Korogi-san?
**[14:20] Suzu**
H-How long have you known Matsuri?
**[14:26] Reo**
It's been 312 days, 2 hours, 10 minutes,
and 3 seconds since I met him.
**[14:33] Reo**
It was a day I'll never forget.
**[14:40] (Flashback) Seigen**
Shuriken that can be controlled
by wind? Interesting.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Reo**
I adjusted the shape and the coating
to up its compatibility with wind spells.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Seigen**
I didn't know your daughter was studying
to become an artisan, Shishimaru-san.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
Sorry, Kazamaki-san.
**[15:00] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
You ordered something easy
for your rookie grandson to use.
**[15:06] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
I was a fool to leave it to her to finish.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
She's the most talented member of our clan,
**[15:13] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
but if she's gonna keep doing
whatever comes to mind,
**[15:16] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
Reo's gonna remain
an apprentice for a long while.
**[15:19] Reo**
*So that wasn't enough, either.*
**[15:22] Reo**
*I wasn't up to the mark again.*
**[15:25] (Flashback) Matsuri**
It's no problem, Gramps.
**[15:35] (Flashback) Matsuri**
These are cool. I'm gonna call
them Demon Wind Shuriken.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Seigen**
Oho?
**[15:42] (Flashback) Shishimaru**
Amazing. He's already
wielding them perfectly.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Okay, I've decided.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Korogi Reo, was it?
**[15:53] (Flashback) Matsuri**
When I pass my proficiency test and
officially become an exorcist ninja,
**[15:57] (Flashback) Matsuri**
I'll come to you to make my gear.
**[16:02] Reo**
Matsuri-kun was the first to recognize me,
Korogi Reo, as an artisan.
**[16:08] Reo**
He was my first.
**[16:13] Reo**
Exorcist ninja gear would normally
be constructed by the master,
**[16:17] Reo**
my father—a veteran craftsman.
**[16:21] Reo**
After all, exorcist ninja put their lives
on the line fighting ayakashi with it.
**[16:26] Reo**
But Matsuri-kun entrusted me with the task.
**[16:31] Reo**
That's why I have the responsibility
to support him with everything I've got!
**[16:38] Suzu**
*This girl...*
**[16:40] Reo**
Wow!
**[16:42] Reo**
He can move like that, too?
**[16:45] Reo**
Maybe I should make the fabric around
the knees 0.5 percent thinner.
**[16:49] Reo**
Matsuri-kun is always so sensational!
**[16:53] Suzu**
*This girl...*
**[17:00] Reo**
*All good, Matsuri-kun.*
***SIGN*** Gauge

Hey, Reo! The woodman's still moving!
**[17:17] Reo**
*Huh? That's odd.*
**[17:19] Reo**
*I stopped the driving power spell already.*
**[17:22] Matsuri**
Huh? W-Wait...
**[17:32] Reo**
Why did the Ultimate Tickle
Device get activated?!
**[17:35] Suzu**
Why even have that feature?
**[17:39] Reo**
Ayakashi detected inside the
maintenance booth of the woodman?!
**[17:44] Shirogane**
Messing around in here activated something!
**[17:47] Matsuri**
It's your doing?!
**[17:48] Shirogane**
That scroll is mine, Matsuri.
**[17:54] Matsuri**
Wh... What the heck is that?
**[17:59] Reo**
Ultimate Tickle Device Version 2, too?!
**[18:02] Suzu**
Again, what is this even for?
**[18:04] Shirogane**
* I have an bad feeling that*
* I can't dillydally any longer!*
**[18:08] Shirogane**
*I need to return to my original form!*
**[18:10] Matsuri**
Scroll this, scroll that...
**[18:13] Matsuri**
You don't know when to give up, do you?
**[18:15] Suzu**
Is he too ticklish to use his attacks?
**[18:18] Suzu**
Sheesh, that Shirogane.
**[18:20] Suzu**
I'm going to go stop him.
**[18:21] Reo**
No need, Kanade Suzu-san.
**[18:24] Reo**
Matsuri-kun, don't hold back.
Go ahead and break it.
**[18:28] Matsuri**
* What? But you spent*
* a lot of time building this.*
**[18:31] Matsuri**
*I... I can't do that!*
**[18:34] Reo**
Oh?
**[18:35] Reo**
I thought you knew already.
**[18:37] Reo**
Equipment is made to be broken.
**[18:40] Reo**
And I love the process of improving
things when I rebuild them!
**[18:47] Matsuri**
There's that artisan spirit
of yours I respect so much!

Sorry to pile even more work on you.
**[19:16] Reo**
I'm already excited about fixing it.
**[19:20] Reo**
Give me a night to work on your gear.
**[19:23] Reo**
I'll make sure it's as good as new!
**[19:25] Matsuri**
Please do.
**[19:27] Suzu**
* An exorcist ninja and his artisan.*
* A part of Matsuri's world I didn't know.*
**[19:32] Suzu**
* If Shirogane hadn't showed up,*
* would I have never found out about it?*
**[19:39] Suzu**
* Korogi-san has supported Matsuri*
* behind the scenes this whole time.*
**[19:44] Suzu**
I need to step up and do my part, too.
**[19:47] Reo**
Oh, right, Suzu-san.
**[19:50] Reo**
While you're here, would you like
to try on some exorcist ninja gear?
**[19:56] Suzu**
Hmm, I don't know...
**[19:58] Suzu**
Maybe if you have something cute.
**[19:59] Reo**
I sure do!
**[20:01] Reo**
Touch this part, make an
earnest wish, and say "Suit up!"
**[20:07] Suzu**
S... Suit up!
**[20:13] Matsuri**
Wh-Whoa...
**[20:25] Reo**
Cute! That's my sexy gear!
**[20:28] Shirogane**
How scandalous!
**[20:30] Reo**
What do you think, Matsuri-kun?
**[20:31] Reo**
An ayakashi would go down so
easily with this seduction trap!
**[20:34] Matsuri**
Why would you seduce an ayakashi?!
**[20:36] Suzu**
But first...
**[20:37] Suzu**
Turn me back to normal!
**[20:48] Matsuri**
Sheesh.
**[20:50] Matsuri**
Reo always makes
the weirdest things on a whim.
**[20:57] (Flashback) Reo**
By the way, Matsuri-kun.
**[21:00] (Flashback) Reo**
What kind of ayakashi got you?
**[21:03] (Flashback) Reo**
The way your gear was broken wasn't normal.
**[21:08] (Flashback) Reo**
My spell that makes the gear convert into
particles that then transform into clothes
**[21:13] (Flashback) Reo**
was totally bugged out.
**[21:15] (Flashback) Reo**
I can only think some kind of
ayakashi power went through it.
**[21:25] Matsuri**
* So Suzu's powers actually are*
* closer to those of an ayakashi?*
**[21:32] Matsuri**
* I doubt Suzu can become capable of undoing*
* the king of ayakashi—Shirogane's spell.*
**[21:40] Matsuri**
*But what if she does?*
**[21:45] Matsuri**
*Then she'd no doubt be the god of ayakashi.*
**[21:51] Shirogane**
*The increased number of Ikon.*
**[21:54] Shirogane**
*It must be related to him.*
**[21:58] Shirogane**
*Could it be...*
**[21:59] Shirogane**
*Is he here, in this town?*

Yeah. A Korogi drone delivered it

**[02:14] Suzu**
Sorry. It broke because of me, after all.
**[02:17] Matsuri**
It's fine.
**[02:18] Matsuri**
Reo was super motivated.
**[02:20] Matsuri**
She upgraded its enchantments, apparently.
**[02:25] Suzu**
Shirogane?
**[02:28] Matsuri**
He's been staring off
into space a lot recently.
**[02:33] Yayoi**
Hey, Matsuri!
**[02:36] Yayoi**
Somebody wants to talk to you!
**[02:37] Matsuri**
Huh? Who is it?
**[02:42] Boy A**
Matsuri-chan, let's exchange LINE IDs!
**[02:45] Matsuri**
Why would I? I don't even know you guys.
**[02:48] Boy A**
Well, you know...
**[02:49] Boy A**
You're really cute!
**[02:51] Boy B**
And we wanna be friends with ya.
**[02:55] Matsuri**
C...
**[02:56] Matsuri**
Cute?
**[02:58] Boy A**
You're a total knockout!
**[02:59] Boy B**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:00] Matsuri**
Knockout?!
**[03:01] Boy A**
Be my friend!
**[03:02] Boy B**
Let's text! Come on!
**[03:07] Boy B**
A-Actually, never mind!
**[03:09] Boy A**
Think about it!
**[03:10] Matsuri**
What?!
**[03:12] Matsuri**
O-Oh, Ninokuru-senpai.
**[03:16] Soga**
Did I interrupt something?
**[03:16] Matsuri**
Nah, you saved me.
**[03:19] Matsuri**
This sucks. They don't know I'm a dude.
**[03:24] Soga**
*True.*
**[03:25] Soga**
* I can only speak to him because*
* I know the male Kazamaki,*
**[03:29] Soga**
*but if you go just by appearance, he's...*
**[03:33] Soga**
*Don't be swayed! What is wrong with me?!*
**[03:36] Matsuri**
Oh, right, Senpai?
**[03:39] Soga**
What is it?
**[03:40] Matsuri**
An Ikon showed up at Korogi, too.
**[03:43] Soga**
What?
**[03:45] Matsuri**
Ikon are urban ayakashi that develop from
the negative residual thoughts of humans.
**[03:51] Matsuri**
Too many of them are popping up
out here in the countryside.
**[03:54] Matsuri**
You think something's causing it?
**[03:57] Soga**
It's a modern type of ayakashi,
so we don't have much data on it.
**[04:03] Soga**
What we do know is...
**[04:05] Soga**
Unlike other ayakashi of old,
Ikon wander without shape.
**[04:09] Soga**
Eventually, they grow and mutate into
something that has human elements.
**[04:14] Soga**
You could say that they're
the larvae of malicious ayakashi.
**[04:19] Yayoi**
So that senpai ran those weirdos off?
**[04:23] Lucy**
From what I can tell looking at him,
**[04:25] Lucy**
he must be half-shark,
half-human... A shark humanoid!
**[04:29] Lucy**
How cool.
**[04:30] Suzu**
Lu, that doesn't sound like a compliment.
**[04:33] Yayoi**
He looks like a hardass. He might
be a good match for Matsuri.
**[04:36] Yayoi**
Right, Suzu?
**[04:37] Suzu**
What? No way! That's a colossal nope!
**[04:40] Yayoi**
Why?
**[04:42] Yayoi**
We never said that nobody in
Kachofugetsu could have a boyfriend!
**[04:46] Yayoi**
It's a good thing! We should be supportive!
**[04:48] Suzu**
Urk... I know, but...
**[04:51] Yayoi**
What do you think, Lu?
**[04:52] Lucy**
Oh...

**[05:03] Shirogane**
I came here because
I sensed something unusual,
**[05:08] Shirogane**
but there's no way that
thing's related to him.
**[05:13] Shirogane**
Now that I can relax,
I'm suddenly really hungry.
**[05:16] Matsuri**
Hey.
**[05:17] Suzu**
Shirogane?
**[05:19] Matsuri**
I was wondering why you weren't at school.
**[05:21] Matsuri**
What are you doing here?
You'd better not be up to any mischief.
**[05:25] Shirogane**
Hmph! Mind your own business!
**[05:27] Shirogane**
Did you come to capture that, Matsuri?
**[05:31] Matsuri**
The app had it bang-on!
**[05:33] Matsuri**
Now I can test out my newly fixed ninja gear!

Yun, yun, yun, yun, yun!

I said, get back here!
**[06:28] Matsuri**
Why, you... Take that!
**[06:31] Suzu**
What kind of ayakashi is that?
**[06:32] Shirogane**
It's a Sohachibon.
**[06:36] Suzu**
A Sohachibon?
**[06:38] Shirogane**
The tsukumogami of a Buddhist cymbal.
**[06:40] Shirogane**
It's visible to humans, and it likes
flying around them to scare them.
**[06:48] Suzu**
I see.
**[06:49] Suzu**
We can't have it causing too much mischief.
**[06:52] Suzu**
We're near a road, so we don't want some
driver to be distracted and get into a wreck.
**[06:57] Shirogane**
Well, we can leave the rest to him.
**[07:00] Shirogane**
Now give me some Suzu Dango. I'm hungry!
**[07:02] Suzu**
What? No, you just had some.
**[07:06] Shirogane**
I was lost in thought!
I don't feel like I had any!
**[07:09] Shirogane**
Gimme!
**[07:11] Suzu**
No. You'll get fat.
**[07:13] Shirogane**
Says the girl stuffing her face!
**[07:16] Suzu**
Don't mind me.
**[07:19] Suzu**
It's just my ayakashi medium powers at work.
**[07:23] Shirogane**
Then I'll just have to *make* you!
**[07:27] Suzu**
Sheesh!
**[07:28] Suzu**
All this smoke! What are you
trying to transform into?
**[07:35] Shiroganematsuri**
Okay, Suzu. Feed me some Suzu Dango.
**[07:38] Suzu**
*This is colossally not fair!*
**[07:40] Suzu**
Don't transform into guy Matsuri!
**[07:42] Suzu**
Not that it's gonna work on me!
**[07:45] Shiroganematsuri**
Really?
**[07:47] Suzu**
*Shoot.*
**[07:48] Suzu**
* I haven't seen Matsuri's*
* true form in a while.*
**[07:51] Suzu**
* I know it's just Shirogane,*
* but I can't help myself!*
**[07:56] Shirogane**
* This method goes against my principles,*
* but she's left me no choice.*
**[08:01] Shiroganematsuri**
Come on.
**[08:04] Shiroganematsuri**
Please, Suzu? I need your dango...
**[08:08] Suzu**
*No whispering!*
**[08:11] Shiroganematsuri**
Suzu Dango.
**[08:12] Suzu**
*Not in my ear!*
**[08:14] Suzu**
F-Fine, I get it!
**[08:16] Suzu**
Go eat them over there!
**[08:19] Shirogane**
*My superior strategy worked!*

Yun, yun, yun, yun.
**[08:26] Lucy**
Yun?
**[08:36] Shiroganematsuri**
They're always good,
but today's are exceptional.
**[08:40] Shiroganematsuri**
I can't stop eating them!
**[08:42] Lucy**
*Th-This boy!*
**[08:45] Lucy**
* He's the one who saved me*
* in my dream back then.*
**[08:50] Lucy**
*He's real?*
**[08:53] Lucy**
*He heeded my call and warped here?*
**[08:56] Lucy**
*So he's an alien?*
**[08:59] Lucy**
*I thought he was dressed like a ninja,*
**[09:01] Lucy**
*but it must be a space suit!*
**[09:06] Lucy**
H-Hello. I'm an Earthling.
**[09:09] Shiroganematsuri**
Oh, if it isn't Lucy.
**[09:12] Lucy**
*He knows me?*
**[09:14] Lucy**
*Wait, he understands Japanese?*
**[09:17] Lucy**
*I see. He's done his research on Earth.*
**[09:21] Lucy**
* Was that dream a telepathic message*
* to announce his existence and goodwill?*
**[09:27] Lucy**
* He appeared before me, the only*
* human to receive that message.*
**[09:32] Lucy**
*It all makes sense now!*
**[09:40] Shirogane**
*Is it bad that she saw me here?*
**[09:43] Shirogane**
* It's fine. Surely she's never interacted*
* with male Matsuri before.*
**[09:47] Shirogane**
*I'll just wing it.*
**[09:49] Lucy**
So, what's your name?
**[09:51] Shiroganematsuri**
Shiro...
**[09:52] Shirogane**
*...gane would be a bad idea.*
**[09:56] Shiroganematsuri**
...matsu.
**[09:57] Shirogane**
*...ri would be a bad idea, too.*
**[09:59] Lucy**
Ooh, Shiromatsu!
**[10:01] Lucy**
You sound like that Oso guy's
long-lost brother!
**[10:03] Shirogane**
*Yeah, that'll do.*
**[10:06] Lucy**
How old are you?
**[10:07] Shiromatsu**
Around 400, I think?
**[10:09] Lucy**
Super longevity!
**[10:11] Lucy**
And where are you from?
**[10:12] Shiromatsu**
Somewhere in Edo. I forget.
**[10:14] Lucy**
Ooh, Inedo Galaxy!
**[10:17] Lucy**
Your home planet is top secret, huh?
**[10:20] Lucy**
I see, I see.
**[10:22] Shirogane**
Gulp.
**[10:24] Shirogane**
*What's this?*
**[10:26] Shirogane**
*My head's feeling woozy...*
**[10:28] Shirogane**
*No, my entire body's floating.*
**[10:31] Shirogane**
*What is this feeling?*
**[10:34] Matsuri**
All right!
**[10:35] Matsuri**
Finally caught you!
**[10:37] Suzu**
Good job, Matsuri.
**[10:39] Matsuri**
Yeesh, you're such a handful.
**[10:42] Suzu**
Keep your mischievous
tendencies in check, okay?
**[10:45] Matsuri**
Should I hit it with the ritual of dread?
**[10:48] Suzu**
I think you scared it plenty
chasing it around like that already.
**[10:52] Matsuri**
I guess.
**[10:57] Matsuri**
Why am I there with Lu?!
**[10:59] Suzu**
What's Shirogane doing there?!
**[11:01] Matsuri**
Shirogane?!
**[11:02] Suzu**
Y-Yup...
**[11:03] Matsuri**
What'd he transform into me for?
**[11:07] Suzu**
Huh?
**[11:08] Suzu**
He's acting strange.
**[11:10] Matsuri**
He's grinning ear-to-ear.
**[11:14] Suzu**
I knew it!
**[11:15] Suzu**
The dango I gave him...
**[11:18] Suzu**
It's the batch I tried
putting some catnip in!
**[11:20] Matsuri**
Catnip?!
**[11:22] Suzu**
I was worried he might get
bored of the same flavor,
**[11:25] Suzu**
so I thought I could slowly up the dose...
**[11:27] Matsuri**
So that's why he looks like he's sloshed.
**[11:31] Lucy**
Okay, so, Shiromatsu...
**[11:34] Lucy**
I have an important question.
**[11:39] Lucy**
Why have you come to Earth?
**[11:46] Lucy**
Uh...
**[11:47] Shiromatsu**
I-Isn't it obvious?
**[11:50] Lucy**
Huh?
**[11:52] Shiromatsu**
It's because I want you!
**[11:57] Matsuri**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What?!
**[12:00] Suzu**
Why are you hitting on Lu, Matsuri?!
**[12:03] Matsuri**
It's not me! It's drunk Shirogane!

**[16:29] Reo**
Tee-hee-hee.
**[16:30] Matsuri**
Don't "tee-hee-hee" me!
**[16:32] Reo**
Haven't you heard?
**[16:34] Reo**
The Korogi clan handle all sorts
of exorcist ninja tools nowadays,
**[16:38] Reo**
but we originally dealt with incense.
**[16:40] Reo**
We were a clan of exorcists
who utilized scents as an exorcist tool.
**[16:45] Reo**
That's why I happen to have
a real fetish for scents.
**[16:50] Reo**
I can obtain information by analyzing scents,
be they human or ayakashi.
**[16:55] Matsuri**
Seriously?
**[17:00] Shirogane**
Hmm... I don't sense anything today.
**[17:04] Suzu**
Oh, Shirogane.
**[17:06] Suzu**
On your stroll still?
**[17:08] Shirogane**
What are *you* doing here?
**[17:12] Suzu**
We got assigned some
difficult homework today,
**[17:14] Suzu**
so I thought we could go over it together.
**[17:16] Shirogane**
So obvious.
**[17:17] Shirogane**
You just want an excuse
to go to Matsuri's place.
**[17:20] Suzu**
Not true!
**[17:22] Matsuri**
H-Hey! Not there!
**[17:26] Matsuri**
N-No! I said, no!
**[17:29] Matsuri**
Wait, that's too...
**[17:35] Reo**
It's okay.
**[17:36] Reo**
Your scent is totally my type.
**[17:39] Matsuri**
Th-That's not the problem.
**[17:43] Matsuri**
This is really embarrassing.
**[17:49] Suzu**
What do you think you're doing, Reo-chan?!
**[17:51] Shirogane**
She's a bona fide pervert!
**[17:55] Matsuri**
Suzu! I-It's not what it looks like!
**[17:56] Reo**
Well, I can't very well deny
that I'm a pervert.
**[18:02] Reo**
I've always wanted to just take a deep whiff.
**[18:05] Reo**
Super sensational!
**[18:07] Matsuri**
Did you come over just to smell me?!
**[18:11] Reo**
Oh, no! This is to prepare for the exorcism!
**[18:15] Reo**
I had to smell your
entire body to confirm it.
**[18:19] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[18:20] Reo**
It's very faint, but it's
mixed in with your scent.
**[18:25] Reo**
The scent of Secret Art:
Gender Swap Awakened!
**[18:32] Reo**
It's quite a complicated scent,
**[18:35] Reo**
but let's try what we have.
**[18:37] Reo**
Koromaru, get the items.
***SIGN*** Scent
**[18:41] Reo**
Sandalwood, fragrant olive, peach,
**[18:44] Reo**
sweet flag, mugwort, dragon scale,
**[18:48] Reo**
and a pinch of talisman ashes.
**[18:50] Reo**
Since ancient times, incense has been used
to repel evil and exorcise misfortune.
**[18:55] Reo**
Upgrading that effect,
**[18:57] Reo**
we make a blend of scents that
negates the power of ayakashi.
**[19:01] Reo**
That is... exorcising incense!
**[19:09] Reo**
Exorcise, scent.
**[19:12] Reo**
Scent, exorcise.
**[19:14] Reo**
Exorcise, scent.
**[19:16] Reo**
Scent, exorcise.
**[19:19] Reo**
Exorcise, scent.
**[19:21] Reo**
Scent, exorcise!
**[19:24] Shirogane**
Ew! This reeks!
**[19:28] Suzu**
The incense smells so good.
**[19:31] Matsuri**
Ah, it's like...
**[19:35] Matsuri**
The scent's seeping into my body.
**[19:45] Matsuri**
Oh?
**[19:49] Matsuri**
Whoa!
**[19:52] Reo**
It works!
**[19:54] Suzu**
No way!
**[19:55] Suzu**
*Is the spell gonna be lifted?*
**[19:58] Shirogane**
It reeks!
**[20:00] Shirogane**
Reeks, I tell you! Ew!
**[20:05] Matsuri**
Hmm...
**[20:07] Matsuri**
No changes down here.
**[20:09] Matsuri**
So I guess that's as far as we go.
**[20:10] Reo**
Aww, it failed.
**[20:12] Shirogane**
Hmph! It's my superior secret art!
**[20:15] Shirogane**
Mere scents cannot dispel it!
**[20:18] Reo**
Oh?
**[20:19] Reo**
I'd say we made good progress
for a first attempt.
**[20:22] Reo**
There's plenty of room for improvement!
**[20:24] Suzu**
*Yeah.*
**[20:26] Suzu**
* When I tried, there weren't*
* any visible changes.*
**[20:30] Reo**
All right! I'm going to
research this all the way!
**[20:34] Reo**
It's my job as your partner
to resolve your issues!
**[20:39] Suzu**
*This girl, Korogi Reo-chan...*
**[20:44] Reo**
* Your bond as childhood friends*
* is longstanding and strong.*
**[20:48] Reo**
* It's plain as day that*
* I don't stand a chance just yet.*
**[20:53] Reo**
*But...*
**[20:55] Reo**
* That room for improvement*
* is what I love most of all, Suzu-san!*
**[21:01] Suzu**
*She's trouble! I gotta stay on high alert!*
**[21:05] Matsuri**
That's my Reo!
**[21:07] Matsuri**
I can always count on your artisan spirit!
**[21:13] Reo**
My, oh, my!
**[21:14] Matsuri**
Now they're bigger than before!
**[21:16] Reo**
The third law of physics?
**[21:18] Suzu**
H-Hey...
**[21:19] Suzu**
What are you gonna do about this?!
**[21:21] Reo**
Hey, this Matsuri-kun is sensational, too!
**[21:26] Suzu**
More like sensationalized!
***SIGN*** Kazamaki
**[21:30] Seigen**
Hey, I'm back!
**[21:34] Seigen**
Uh... Matsuri?!
**[21:36] Matsuri**
Welcome home, Gramps.

**[23:13] Shirogane**
I still can't sense anything.
**[23:17] Shirogane**
If he were nearby, I would
be able to feel his presence.
**[23:23] Shirogane**
But perhaps...
**[23:24] Shirogane**
He has grown so much
that he can conceal it now?

**[00:06] Matsuri**
What's with you? You've been
glancing at my chest this whole time.
**[00:10] Shirogane**
She must be having
scandalous thoughts again.
**[00:14] Suzu**
No, I'm just glad they're back to normal.
**[00:20] Matsuri**
Yeah, they'd shrunk back
when I woke up this morning.
**[00:23] Matsuri**
I had a hard time sleeping, you know?
**[00:26] Suzu**
I see. But I'm happy for you.
**[00:29] Matsuri**
Ugh. My shoulders are still sore
from yesterday, though.
**[00:33] Suzu**
* I wish he'd gone all the way*
* back to being a guy...*
**[00:37] (Flashback) Garaku**
If you can master your
ayakashi medium power,
**[00:41] (Flashback) Garaku**
even undoing Shirogane-san's spell
might become possible for you...
**[00:44] (Flashback) Garaku**
I think.
**[00:46] Suzu**
* I want to be able to help*
* Matsuri, like Reo-chan!*
**[00:51] Suzu**
*That way, I can make it happen!*
**[00:53] Suzu**
Okay, let's do this!
**[00:55] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[00:56] Suzu**
Hehe. Don't mind me.
**[00:59] Suzu**
Okay, let's get moving!
**[01:01] Matsuri**
O-Okay...
**[01:03] Suzu**
Hurry!
**[01:07] Narrator**
Ayakashi.
**[01:09] Narrator**
Strange beasts, invisible to man.
**[01:14] Narrator**
To destroy the fiendish ayakashi
that bare their fangs at humans,
**[01:17] Narrator**
there are those who have fought
in the shadows since time immemorial.
**[01:22] Narrator**
They are known as...
**[01:29] Narrator**
exorcist ninjas!
**[03:03] Girls**
Hey, check him out!
***SIGN*** Episode 10: "The Enticing Boy"
**[03:05] Girls**
He's super cute!
**[03:06] Girls**
Which class is he in?
**[03:08] Girls**
He must've transferred in!
**[03:11] Sosuke**
Can I ask you ladies a question?
**[03:13] Girls**
Whoa, is this really happening?!
**[03:15] Girls**
Y-Yes, anything!
**[03:16] Sosuke**
Do you know where a girl
named Kanade Suzu might be?
**[03:27] Matsuri**
The heck?
**[03:29] Matsuri**
When did you take all those?
**[03:31] Boys**
You're really amazing, Matsuri-chan!
**[03:33] Boys**
You're so light on your feet!
**[03:35] Boys**
It's like you're a ninja!
**[03:37] Boys**
And you're hot!
**[03:39] Boys**
We want to start an online channel
posting content about you.
**[03:43] Boys**
We promise to turn you into an online idol!
**[03:46] Matsuri**
An idol?!
**[03:47] Matsuri**
You gotta be kidding me!
**[03:50] Boys**
You need to realize your own worth.
**[03:52] Boys**
We'll handle all the marketing.
**[03:54] Matsuri**
No, thanks!
**[03:56] Yayoi**
Wow, Matsuri's popularity is skyrocketing.
**[04:00] Yayoi**
She seemed to be getting along
with that hardass senpai, too.
**[04:04] Lucy**
I'm expecting the shark humanoid
to appear any time now.
**[04:09] Yayoi**
I hope you can meet someone nice, too, Suzu.
**[04:12] Yayoi**
Let's both do our best in love!
**[04:13] Suzu**
U-Uh, I'm not exactly looking...
**[04:17] Sosuke**
Kanade Suzu-san?
**[04:20] Sosuke**
I need to talk to you. Do you have a minute?
**[04:24] Yayoi**
Whoa!
**[04:25] Lucy**
Speak of the devil!
**[04:27] Yayoi**
Super jelly, but don't mind us! Go!
**[04:31] Suzu**
What?!
**[04:33] Sosuke**
Over here.
**[04:34] Suzu**
Um, but I...
**[04:37] Suzu**
*Listen, I have my hands full with Matsuri.*
**[04:41] Suzu**
* B-But how can I turn him down*
* without making things awkward?*
**[04:45] Suzu**
*Urgh!*
**[04:47] Sosuke**
An ayakashi needs your help.
**[04:51] Suzu**
*He's...*
**[04:53] Shirogane**
Yawn...
**[04:56] Shirogane**
Purr...
**[04:58] Matsuri**
What was with those guys?
They just wouldn't quit.
**[05:02] Matsuri**
Huh? Where's Suzu?
**[05:04] Yayoi**
With a guy. A hot one, at that.
**[05:07] Lucy**
He was such a pretty boy, it was like
he was straight out of a fantasy novel.
**[05:12] Yayoi**
Whoa, Matsuri, stop right there!
**[05:14] Matsuri**
L-Lemme go!
**[05:15] Yayoi**
This is a great opportunity for Suzu!
You can't get in the way!
**[05:21] Matsuri**
* If he's human, I guess*
* I shouldn't interfere...*
**[05:24] Matsuri**
*But he's hot?*
**[05:26] Matsuri**
*Who is this guy?!*
**[05:29] Suzu**
You're right. It's hurt.
**[05:31] Sosuke**
Maybe it wandered out from
the forest and got ran over.
**[05:35] Sosuke**
Normal people aren't able to
see these ayakashi, after all.
**[05:40] Suzu**
But you're able to see them, uh...
**[05:43] Sosuke**
Hinojiki Sosuke.
**[05:45] Sosuke**
I was born this way, unfortunately.
**[05:48] Sosuke**
I found this one today.
**[05:50] Sosuke**
I wanted to help it, but I didn't know how.
**[05:54] Sosuke**
That's when I saw you guys.
**[05:58] Sosuke**
I saw you walking to school and having
a good time with a white ayakashi cat.
**[06:02] Sosuke**
You were like a ray of hope.
**[06:05] Sosuke**
I thought that maybe you
would be willing to help.
**[06:11] Sosuke**
The silver-haired girl—
was her name Kazamaki-san?
**[06:15] Sosuke**
I thought of asking her, too.
**[06:17] Sosuke**
But you know, she looks kind of scary.
**[06:21] Sosuke**
I'm pretty shy, so...
**[06:24] Sosuke**
I've lived my life scared of ayakashi
and avoiding them as much as I could.
**[06:31] Sosuke**
But this one seemed so close to disappearing,
and for the first time ever...
**[06:38] Sosuke**
I felt like helping it.
**[06:44] Suzu**
I think I can heal him.
**[06:46] Suzu**
I'll give it a try, Hinojiki-kun.
**[06:53] Shirogane**
*Hm?*
**[06:54] Shirogane**
*Suzu's with a boy that's not Matsuri?!*
**[06:56] Shirogane**
*Who is that kid?*
**[06:59] Shirogane**
*He smells strange...*
**[07:05] Sosuke**
Wow...
**[07:07] Suzu**
I finally got the hang of it.
**[07:09] Suzu**
Controlling my power, my haku.
**[07:13] Suzu**
* Just picture replenishing his*
* waning life with my life force...*
**[07:22] Suzu**
Yay! He's all better now!
**[07:27] Sosuke**
That's amazing.
**[07:29] Sosuke**
I didn't think an ayakashi medium's power
could really heal an ayakashi's injuries!
**[07:36] Suzu**
I guess it's important
to believe it's possible.
**[07:39] Suzu**
Huh? Wait...
**[07:41] Suzu**
I never mentioned anything
about ayakashi mediums...
**[07:53] Sosuke**
Delicious.
**[07:55] Suzu**
Wh-What?
**[07:57] Suzu**
Did you just eat it... No way!
**[08:00] Shirogane**
*It can't be! Is he...*
**[08:03] Sosuke**
So this is the haku you secreted.
**[08:07] Sosuke**
The life energy of an ayakashi medium.
**[08:10] Sosuke**
Ah, Kanade-san, you are the best.
**[08:15] Sosuke**
Let's go.
**[08:19] Sosuke**
You belong to me now.
**[08:21] Shirogane**
Suzu!
**[08:25] Matsuri**
Shirogane?
**[08:26] Matsuri**
What was that ayakashi energy?!
**[08:29] Matsuri**
Is that Suzu's phone?
**[08:31] Shirogane**
Damn it!
**[08:31] Shirogane**
His shape and presence was even more
human than the last time we fought,
**[08:35] Shirogane**
so I didn't recognize him!
**[08:37] Soga**
What do you mean?
**[08:39] Shirogane**
Suzu was kidnapped!
**[08:42] Shirogane**
By the highest form an ayakashi
evolved from an Ikon can take...
**[08:45] Shirogane**
A Jinyo—a humanoid ayakashi!
**[08:49] Matsuri**
Suit up!
**[08:56] Matsuri**
What's this about a Jinyo?
**[08:57] Shirogane**
It happened a few months ago.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Shirogane**
So it's you!
**[09:04] (Flashback) Shirogane**
You're the new type indiscriminately killing
and devouring the ayakashi around here.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Sosuke**
I figured it was about time you showed up.
**[09:12] (Flashback) Sosuke**
Are you displeased I'm
encroaching on your territory,
**[09:15] (Flashback) Sosuke**
King of Ayakashi?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Shirogane**
Ayakashi don't devour other ayakashi!
**[09:20] (Flashback) Shirogane**
Your existence goes against
the root principle of ayakashi.
**[09:23] (Flashback) Sosuke**
I guess you're right.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Sosuke**
That's because I'm a Jinyo, the type
of ayakashi closest to humans.
**[09:30] (Flashback) Shirogane**
It's a king's duty to protect
the order of the ayakashi.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Shirogane**
I, Shirogane, will destroy you!
**[09:38] Shirogane**
I was able to wound him.
**[09:41] Shirogane**
But I also took immense
damage and had to retreat!
**[09:46] Soga**
I've never even heard of
ayakashi called Jinyo!
**[09:50] Shirogane**
It was the first time I'd seen one
in my 400 years alive, too!
**[09:54] Matsuri**
You said he evolved from an Ikon?
**[09:57] Matsuri**
So that's why you hated them so much.
**[10:03] Shirogane**
He devours haku to grow.
**[10:06] Shirogane**
If he devours the haku of Suzu,
an ayakashi medium, he'll be untouchable!
**[10:11] Shirogane**
Before that happens, you must
return me to my true form, Matsuri!
**[10:16] Shirogane**
Hey, don't ignore me!
**[10:19] Shirogane**
The enemy left a trail of ayakashi energy,
as if he *wants* us to follow him!
**[10:23] Shirogane**
This is clearly a trap!
**[10:25] Matsuri**
I know, but I have to rescue Suzu!
That's all that matters!
**[10:36] Suzu**
So many waffles... I can't eat any more!
**[10:43] Sosuke**
Morning, Kanade-san.
**[10:45] Sosuke**
You're quite the glutton yourself, huh?
**[10:49] Suzu**
Hinojiki-kun...?
**[10:51] Sosuke**
Your school is so tiring. It's filled
with so many positive thoughts.
**[10:56] Sosuke**
This building used to be a popular
resort hotel back in the 80s.
**[11:01] Sosuke**
But there is no trace of that prosperity now,
**[11:04] Sosuke**
leaving just the broken dreams
of the people of the bubble era.
**[11:09] Sosuke**
Places like this are
so much more comforting.
**[11:11] Sosuke**
Probably because I'm an ayakashi born
from the negative thoughts of such people.
**[11:18] Sosuke**
Now, let me introduce myself for real.
**[11:21] Sosuke**
I'm the Jinyo, Hinojiki Sosuke.
**[11:25] Sosuke**
Quite a humanlike name, isn't it?
**[11:28] Sosuke**
I identified with it when
I gained this perfected form.
**[11:33] Suzu**
Why did you eat him?
**[11:36] Sosuke**
That weak ayakashi?
**[11:38] Sosuke**
I wanted a taste.
**[11:40] Sosuke**
A sampling of the haku
of an ayakashi medium.
**[11:45] Sosuke**
I was once a weak, helpless Ikon.
**[11:48] Sosuke**
But by wandering hills and fields, preying
on small ayakashi, and obtaining their haku,
**[11:54] Sosuke**
I was slowly able to acquire
power and intelligence.
**[11:58] Sosuke**
And one day, I realized something.
**[12:00] Sosuke**
With time and preparation,
the taste of haku can change.
**[12:05] Suzu**
Preparation?
**[12:09] Sosuke**
Hurting them, devouring their
friends in front of them,
**[12:13] Sosuke**
or chasing them around instead
of giving them a quick death
**[12:17] Sosuke**
accentuates the flavor of their haku.
**[12:21] Sosuke**
My quest for gourmet dining
created of fear and despair in others...
**[12:26] Sosuke**
When I realized the joy that brought me,
**[12:29] Sosuke**
I evolved and became a Jinyo.
**[12:34] Suzu**
You're colossally sick.
**[12:36] Sosuke**
That's right.
**[12:39] Sosuke**
I'm the same as you humans.
**[12:42] Sosuke**
Your sick, uncontrolled thirst
for knowledge and curiosity
**[12:48] Sosuke**
is how modern civilization came about.
**[12:51] Sosuke**
I was thinking of feasting on a human next.
**[12:57] Sosuke**
How lucky I am to have run into you,
the finest ingredient there could be!
**[13:02] Suzu**
I feel sorry for you.
**[13:04] Suzu**
I love desserts, too, so I understand
not being able to control your hunger.
**[13:09] Suzu**
But not being able to see others
as anything but food must be so sad.
**[13:18] Sosuke**
You seem awfully calm.
**[13:20] Sosuke**
It's because you believe that Kazamaki
Matsuri will come save you, right?
**[13:25] Sosuke**
I don't know about that, though.
**[13:27] Sosuke**
The area around this hotel is being
guarded by those who worship me.
**[13:35] Sosuke**
The Iyo are ayakashi evolved from Ikon.
**[13:39] Sosuke**
And since I'm a Jinyo, the ultimate form,
they obey my every command.
**[13:43] Ponosuke**
Eek! There's po many of them!
**[13:46] Soga**
He was able to get so many of them
this close to us?
**[13:50] Sosuke**
Look forward to it.
**[13:52] Sosuke**
Soon, they'll bring us your
dear childhood friend's head.
**[14:00] Sosuke**
Your haku will be infused
with fear and despair,
**[14:05] Sosuke**
and you'll reach your full
potential as an ingredient.
**[14:13] Sosuke**
That's when the ultimate
dish will be complete!
**[14:21] Matsuri**
Kazamaki-Style Exorcist Ninja Art:

Whirling Sickle Blade!
**[14:31] Matsuri**
* Damn it! I don't have time*

**[14:33] Soga**
Go on ahead, Kazamaki.
**[14:35] Matsuri**
But...
**[14:37] Soga**
There's a technique I want to test out.

**[15:08] Sosuke**
Yes, keep going.
**[15:10] Sosuke**
Your frightened face makes me
shiver with anticipation.
**[15:22] Matsuri**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Suzu.
**[15:24] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[15:26] Matsuri**
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
**[15:28] Matsuri**
I hear you ate an ayakashi that
Suzu saved right in front of her.
**[15:32] Matsuri**
That alone was inexcusable,
and now you do this?
**[15:36] Matsuri**
I'll open up a windhole
in your stomach, Jinyo!
**[15:42] Sosuke**
You're a really versatile seasoning, huh?
**[15:44] Matsuri**
Huh?
**[15:46] Sosuke**
But that was really foolish of you.
**[15:49] Sosuke**
You shouldn't have tried

**[15:52] Matsuri**
Wha?
**[15:53] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[15:58] Suzu**
*My arm... It's gone?*
**[16:01] Suzu**
*No, it's right here. I just can't feel it.*
**[16:04] Suzu**
*It's gone limp, too. Could it be...*
**[16:08] Sosuke**
I took the haku, your vitality,
from your right hand.
**[16:13] Sosuke**
You see, I can devour
the haku of anything I touch.
**[16:17] Sosuke**
If you just jump in blind with rage,

**[16:33] Shirogane**

**[19:37] Sosuke**
Thanks for the meal.
**[19:39] Sosuke**
Your haku tastes like that
of the king of ayakashi.
**[19:43] Sosuke**
Perhaps it's the effect
of Gender Swap Awakened.
**[19:46] Sosuke**
It's too quirky to be a proper ingredient.
**[19:52] Suzu**
No way...
**[19:53] Suzu**
This can't be.
**[19:55] Sosuke**
You're able to sense it, aren't you?
**[19:58] Sosuke**
Haku is life energy that
dwells in the physical body.
**[20:01] Sosuke**
And I devoured almost all of his haku.
**[20:07] Sosuke**
Kazamaki Matsuri is dead.
**[20:48] Sosuke**
Yes!
**[20:49] Sosuke**
That's the expression I wanted to see!

Having watched Kazamaki Matsuri die,
her haku is now...
**[02:29] Sosuke**
the most delicious it will ever be.
**[02:33] Sosuke**
Give her back, Shirogane.
**[02:36] Shirogane**
* His ability, Engulfing Shadow,*
* is extremely dangerous.*
**[02:41] Shirogane**
* He summons a mouth that devours*
* haku within its vicinity.*
**[02:46] (Flashback) Sosuke**
I don't think I like your taste too much.
**[02:54] Shirogane**
* An ayakashi's body isn't*
* made of flesh and blood.*
**[02:57] Shirogane**
*That mouth can directly drain it away.*
**[02:59] Shirogane**
*And until it appears,*
**[03:01] Shirogane**
*neither its scent nor presence are detectable.*
**[03:05] Shirogane**
*In that case...*
**[03:07] Shirogane**
*I'll attack from a distance!*
**[03:10] Shirogane**
Silver Ayakashi Needles!
**[03:12] Sosuke**
Well...
**[03:13] Sosuke**
I can understand how you feel.
**[03:16] Sosuke**
You want to say she was
your prey first, right?
**[03:20] Sosuke**
You disappeared after our fight
and sought the ayakashi medium.
**[03:25] Sosuke**
You needed a large amount of haku
to counter my Engulfing Shadow, didn't you?
**[03:32] Suzu**
*So that's why he came to me.*
**[03:34] Shirogane**
Blah, blah! Enough pointless talk!

Ayakashi Art: Purple Hellfire!
***SIGN*** Ayakashi Art: Purple Hellfire
**[03:49] Sosuke**
It's no use.
**[03:51] Sosuke**
Ayakashi arts are fueled by haku.
That's just more food for me.
**[03:56] Sosuke**
You've mastered countless ayakashi arts,
**[04:00] Sosuke**
but that makes me your natural enemy.
**[04:02] Shirogane**
*So he does feed off ayakashi arts.*
**[04:06] Shirogane**
*Only direct physical attacks will work.*
**[04:10] Shirogane**
* But it's too risky to fight him*
* at close range with Suzu in tow.*
**[04:15] Suzu**
Forget it, Shirogane.
**[04:19] Suzu**
Just eat me.
**[04:20] Suzu**
If that's what it takes for you
to survive, then I'm fine with it.
**[04:26] Shirogane**
You fool!
**[04:28] Shirogane**
As soon as Matsuri dies, you start whining?
**[04:32] Shirogane**
He gave his life to protect yours,
**[04:34] Shirogane**
and you would throw it away just like that?!
**[04:39] Sosuke**
What's this?
**[04:41] Sosuke**
Has the king of ayakashi
grown attached to a human?
**[04:48] Sosuke**
There!
**[04:50] Sosuke**
Caught you distracted!
**[04:52] Shirogane**
*His mouth has this much range?*
**[04:59] Suzu**
*Shirogane!*
**[05:02] Shirogane**
*I hate humans.*
**[05:05] Shirogane**
*They fear and persecute you,*
**[05:09] Shirogane**
*and then worship and revere you,*
**[05:13] Shirogane**
*only to forget and abandon you.*
**[05:23] Shirogane**
* I will never have anything to do*
* with these creatures anymore.*
**[05:27] Shirogane**
*Time and time again I tell myself that,*
**[05:31] Shirogane**
*but then I get close to them again,*
**[05:34] Shirogane**
*and I start to think they're not so bad.*
**[05:41] Shirogane**
*And that's why...*
**[05:44] Shirogane**
*I hate them.*
**[05:49] Sosuke**
You cut a pathetic figure, Shirogane.
**[05:51] Sosuke**
In the end, you're an ayakashi
of an age gone by.
**[05:55] Sosuke**
As a parting gift,
**[05:57] Sosuke**
I'll devour you completely so you
don't disgrace yourself any further.
**[06:08] Sosuke**
What was that?
**[06:11] Suzu**
Get away from Shirogane, Hinojiki-kun!
**[06:15] (Flashback) Garaku**
While you're at it, it might be a good idea
to stock up on folded origami.
**[06:20] (Flashback) Garaku**
Might come in handy in emergencies
if you fuel it with your haku.
**[06:25] Sosuke**
* The ayakashi medium can even pull*
* off these ayakashi arts, huh?*
**[06:31] Sosuke**
*My arm is numb.*
**[06:38] Sosuke**
*She's only ordering them to distract me?*
**[06:41] Sosuke**
*Why not attack?*
**[06:43] Suzu**
Shirogane!
**[06:45] Sosuke**
*She's too nice.*
**[06:46] Suzu**
Hang in there!
**[06:48] Shirogane**
You fool, run away already!
**[06:50] Suzu**
It's fine! I can heal ayakashi injuries!
**[06:53] Shirogane**
You've barely learned to use your powers.
As if you could heal the king of ayakashi!
**[06:59] Suzu**
Yeah, well, I'm not abandoning you
without even trying!
**[07:04] Sosuke**
Sit tight and wallow
in your despair, Kanade-san.
**[07:08] Sosuke**
Otherwise, that delicious haku
of yours is going to go bad.
**[07:13] Shirogane**
Suzu!
**[07:18] Sosuke**
Bon appétit.
**[07:21] Suzu**
*Matsuri!*
**[07:25] Sosuke**
Wind?!
**[07:29] Sosuke**
Impossible.
**[07:30] Sosuke**
How is this possible? Why are you still...
**[07:35] Sosuke**
* I know I devoured nearly*
* all of his haku, his life!*
**[07:39] Sosuke**
Your body definitely died!
**[07:47] Sosuke**
How are you alive, Kazamaki Matsuri?
**[07:52] Suzu**
Matsuri...
**[07:59] Matsuri**
Time to end this,
**[08:00] Matsuri**
Jinyo!
**[08:13] Matsuri**
Q-Quit clinging to me, Suzu!
**[08:16] Suzu**
I thought you were dead!
**[08:18] Suzu**
Seriously, how?
**[08:20] Suzu**
And you're a boy again!
**[08:22] Matsuri**
Oh, I don't really get it, either.
**[08:25] Matsuri**
Maybe the spell was undone?
**[08:27] Shirogane**
No, the secret art wasn't lifted.
**[08:30] Shirogane**
But you were saved because you were female.
**[08:34] Suzu**
What do you mean?
**[08:36] Shirogane**
It's how Gender Swap Awakened works.
**[08:42] Shirogane**
The gender swap mark on your stomach
**[08:44] Shirogane**
generates the haku to
transform you into a girl
**[08:47] Shirogane**
which then envelops your entire body.
**[08:50] Shirogane**
Because Hinojiki ate almost all of it,
the transformation was temporarily undone,
**[08:55] Shirogane**
and Matsuri's own haku came back.
**[09:00] Matsuri**
So becoming a girl gave me an extra continue?
**[09:05] Shirogane**
Don't put the king of ayakashi's secret art
on the same level as a video game!
**[09:09] Sosuke**
I see.
**[09:12] Sosuke**
So that's why the haku tasted
so much like Shirogane's.
**[09:16] Sosuke**
Very well.
**[09:21] Suzu**
Shirogane!
**[09:24] Matsuri**
Why, you!
**[09:26] Sosuke**
It's not my cup of tea, but it's an immense
amount of haku all the same.
**[09:31] Sosuke**
Oh?
**[09:32] Sosuke**
You're still alive?
**[09:35] Shirogane**
Meowie...
**[09:37] Sosuke**
How stubborn.
**[09:41] Matsuri**
Wind Kunai!
**[09:47] Matsuri**
*He's unhurt?*
**[09:48] Sosuke**
You can't destroy me.
**[09:50] Sosuke**
Now that I've consumed Shirogane's haku,
**[09:53] Sosuke**
my body is a mass of dense ayakashi energy.
**[09:56] Shirogane**
He's right.
**[09:58] Shirogane**
Take Suzu and get out of here.
**[10:02] Shirogane**
He's not an enemy you can defeat.
**[10:06] Shirogane**
Run! Now!
**[10:11] Matsuri**
An exorcist ninja must turn
even losses into gains.
**[10:14] Matsuri**
And I've lost to him enough.
**[10:17] Matsuri**
All that's left is to exorcise him.
**[10:19] Shirogane**
Wha?!
**[10:21] Matsuri**
Have faith in me, Suzu.
**[10:26] Suzu**
Got it.
**[10:28] Shirogane**
You... What are you...
**[10:30] Shirogane**
Hey, are you two serious?
**[10:34] Sosuke**
A beautiful relationship built on trust.
**[10:37] Sosuke**
But this sliver of hope will soon be
engulfed by even deeper despair.
**[10:42] Sosuke**
Killing Kazamaki Matsuri now
will make her haku even more delicious.
**[10:49] Matsuri**
When I came to,
**[10:52] Matsuri**
I saw Suzu infuse these
with her haku to control them.
**[10:55] Matsuri**
Her haku should only be food for you.
**[10:59] Matsuri**
But instead of eating them,
you destroyed them with your hands.
**[11:04] Matsuri**
A mouth that devours haku.
**[11:06] Matsuri**
But read between the lines,
**[11:08] Matsuri**
and it becomes a mouth
that can *only* eat haku.
**[11:12] Matsuri**
So if I force feed you my wind,
you might get a tummy ache, huh?
**[11:18] Sosuke**
Your logic is ridiculous!
**[11:22] Sosuke**
As far as my eyes can see,
**[11:24] Sosuke**
I can materialize my Engulfing Shadow!
**[11:26] Sosuke**
It can't be blocked or evaded...
**[11:29] Sosuke**
It's an invincible ability!
**[11:31] Matsuri**
*Nah.*
**[11:33] Matsuri**
*There's no way it's invincible.*
**[11:35] Matsuri**
* If it was, he wouldn't need*
* to fight like this!*
**[11:39] Matsuri**
* He distracts his foes*
* with hand-to-hand combat*
**[11:42] Matsuri**
*and attacks their blind spot with his mouth.*
**[11:49] Matsuri**
*What this fighting style means is...*
**[11:52] Sosuke**
How long are you going
to keep running around?
**[11:59] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[12:07] Sosuke**
Not bad.
**[12:09] Matsuri**
Now I know for sure.
**[12:12] Matsuri**
While Engulfing Shadow
may be your greatest weapon,
**[12:16] Matsuri**
it's also a major weak point.
**[12:19] Sosuke**
*He figured it out?*
**[12:21] Sosuke**
* Yeah, his techniques are formed*
* from kon, spiritual energy.*
**[12:25] Sosuke**
*And to me, who feeds off haku, it's poison.*
**[12:30] Sosuke**
*But still...*
**[12:31] Matsuri**
* Remember! Remember what*
* Gramps said back then!*
**[12:40] (Flashback) Matsuri**
This is impossible, Gramps!
**[12:41] (Flashback) Matsuri**
There's no way I can keep the candle
from blowing out in this storm!
**[12:45] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Wait, what?
**[12:47] (Flashback) Matsuri**
What's happening to the wind around you?
**[12:49] (Flashback) Seigen**
Listen, Matsuri.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Seigen**
Kon generated with the desire to defeat
your enemy turns the wind into a weapon.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Seigen**
But that's not all there is
to Kazamaki-style arts.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Seigen**
With a gentle, peaceful,
**[13:06] (Flashback) Seigen**
and calm spirit, we create
harmony with the wind.
**[13:12] Matsuri**
* Back then, I couldn't make*
* heads nor tails of it.*
**[13:15] Matsuri**
*Because defeating ayakashi to protect Suzu*
**[13:19] Matsuri**
*was all I cared about.*
**[13:27] Suzu**
* If I can become true friends with*
* Shirogane, it'll solve everything.*
**[13:33] Matsuri**
* I thought for sure there was*
* no way that was ever happening,*
**[13:36] Matsuri**
* but Suzu and Shirogane*
* showed me that it could.*
**[13:40] Matsuri**
*It's not all about attacking.*

**[15:31] Sosuke**
Why do you look so sad?
**[15:34] Sosuke**
Why are you crying?
**[15:38] Sosuke**
That just...
**[15:41] Sosuke**
makes me lose my appetite,
**[15:44] Sosuke**
Kanade-san.
**[15:50] Shirogane**
* This girl really does see things*
* from an ayakashi's point of view.*
**[15:56] Matsuri**
Are you okay, Suzu?
**[16:03] Matsuri**
H-Hey...
**[16:06] Suzu**
Yup.
**[16:08] Suzu**
I feel bad for him.
**[16:11] Suzu**
And all the ayakashi he ate.
**[16:14] Matsuri**
Suzu...
**[16:15] Suzu**
Sorry. I'm fine now.
**[16:19] Suzu**
These are tears of joy because you're alive!
**[16:28] Matsuri**
*Huh?*
**[16:30] Soga**
I took care of all the scrubs!
**[16:32] Soga**
I'm coming to help, Kazamaki!
**[16:38] Ponosuke**
What? Sir Matsuri is a poy again.
**[16:42] Ponosuke**
And they're having a moment...
**[16:45] Soga**
We're leaving, Ponosuke.
**[16:48] Ponosuke**
Master?
**[16:50] Soga**
My job is done.
**[16:52] Soga**
Isn't it great that Kanade Suzu is safe?
**[16:56] Ponosuke**
Master!
**[16:58] Soga**
*So what...*
**[16:59] Soga**
*What is this pouring out of my eyes?*
**[17:02] Ponosuke**
Master!
**[17:06] Matsuri**
*Senpai's the man.*
**[17:08] Matsuri**
* He does a perfect job*
* and leaves without a word.*
**[17:13] Shirogane**
Ps!
**[17:15] Shirogane**
Psps!
**[17:16] Shirogane**
This is no time to be
getting all clingy, you brats!
**[17:21] Shirogane**
Just so you know, Gender Swap Awakened's
effect was only devoured temporarily.
**[17:27] Shirogane**
You're still a far cry away
from a happy ending!
**[17:30] Suzu**
Is Matsuri gonna turn into a girl again?
**[17:32] Shirogane**
Of course!
**[17:34] Shirogane**
Dispelling that secret art
**[17:36] Shirogane**
requires the exact same ayakashi
energy that was used to cast it.
**[17:40] Shirogane**
But now that I've lost my powers,
it will remain in effect forever!
**[17:46] Shirogane**
*Goodbye, awesome-looking me...*
**[17:50] Shirogane**
The spell will likely be back
in effect around sunset.
**[17:55] Suzu**
No...
**[18:00] Matsuri**
Suzu. Can you come with me for a bit?
**[18:05] Matsuri**
I want to do something
I can only do as a guy.
**[18:15] Suzu**
*J-Just like that?*
**[18:17] Suzu**
*And in the woods?!*
**[18:19] Suzu**
*I-It's still light out...*
**[18:21] Suzu**
*I-I'm not prepared for this!*
**[18:28] Suzu**
*He started undressing already!*
**[18:29] Suzu**
*Eek! This is colossally embarrassing...*
**[18:34] Suzu**
*but I'm ready to take it all in!*
**[18:39] Matsuri**
Doing it in just a fundoshi
helps me focus best...
**[18:43] Matsuri**
at waterfall training!
**[18:45] Suzu**
Oh. That so?
**[18:47] Shirogane**
Why'd you take off your jacket, Suzu?
**[18:50] Suzu**
I was feeling hot.
**[18:52] Suzu**
*Why does he have to meditate
under a waterfall* now*?*
**[18:55] Suzu**
*I mean, he does look sexy in his fundoshi...*
**[18:58] Shirogane**
* Her life was just in danger,*
* but she never changes.*
**[19:02] Shirogane**
* Well, it is in their nature*
* to switch mindsets quickly.*
**[19:07] Shirogane**
*You know...*
**[19:09] Shirogane**
*Suzu might be able to.*
**[19:13] Matsuri**
* I'm so glad the waterfall*
* I used for training was nearby.*
**[19:17] Matsuri**
*I need to cool my head.*
**[19:20] Matsuri**
*I never thought I'd feel that way.*
**[19:25] Matsuri**
*Has Suzu always been shorter than me?*
**[19:31] Matsuri**
*What is this? Why do I suddenly feel like...*
**[19:35] Matsuri**
*I want to kiss Suzu.*
**[19:40] Matsuri**
*I wouldn't have had these thoughts before.*
**[19:43] Matsuri**
*That was never what she meant to me.*
**[19:48] Matsuri**
*She was something more special.*
**[19:51] Matsuri**
*But as a girl,*
**[19:53] Matsuri**
* I spent more time much*
* closer to her than before.*
**[19:57] Matsuri**
* That's made me see her*
* as something more intimate...*
**[20:01] Matsuri**
*I can see her as Suzu, as a girl.*
**[20:05] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[20:07] Matsuri**
Whoa! What are you doing
all the way over here?!
**[20:10] Suzu**
Well, I kept calling you,
but you didn't hear me.
**[20:15] Matsuri**
*I-I can see her under...*
**[20:18] Suzu**
You see, there's something
I want to say to you
**[20:22] Suzu**
as you are right now.
**[20:24] Matsuri**
H-Huh?
**[20:27] Matsuri**
What?
**[20:29] Suzu**
Thanks for coming to rescue me today. But...
**[20:33] Suzu**
I don't want to be
the damsel in distress forever.
**[20:39] Suzu**
I want to learn more about the ayakashi
**[20:42] Suzu**
and how to use my ayakashi medium
powers to their fullest.
**[20:47] Suzu**
And one day, I'll turn you back into a boy.
**[20:51] Suzu**
It's my turn to help you now!
**[20:56] Matsuri**
* If Suzu grows into her powers*
* as an ayakashi medium,*
**[21:01] Matsuri**
* she'll go somewhere far away*
* beyond my reach...*
**[21:04] Matsuri**
*That's how I used to feel.*
**[21:06] Matsuri**
*But now, I'm not as worried.*
**[21:09] Matsuri**
*Because I see her for the girl she is.*
**[21:13] Matsuri**
Yeah, I'm counting on you.
**[21:15] Matsuri**
But on days like today,
I'm still gonna protect you.
**[21:20] Matsuri**
*I... I'm in love with Suzu.*
**[21:24] Suzu**
Thanks, Matsuri.
**[21:30] Matsuri**
Man, we gotta say goodbye to
this look again for a while, huh?
**[21:34] Suzu**
Don't worry!
**[21:35] Suzu**
I'll definitely turn you back...
**[21:48] Shirogane**
What are you talking to?!
**[21:51] Suzu**
I-I had water in my eyes!
I couldn't see anything!
**[21:53] Matsuri**
*She saw me both ways...*
**[21:55] Shirogane**
Yeah, right! It was right in front of you!
**[21:56] Garaku**
Yep, yep.
**[21:58] Suzu**
It was too close to really see!
**[21:59] Garaku**
You really can't take
your eyes off those three.
**[22:01] Shirogane**
A likely story!

Oh, it's all good.

**[00:22] Matsuri**
*Was Suzu always this pretty?*
**[00:26] Suzu**
Okay, Matsuri, see you tomorrow.
**[00:28] Matsuri**
Y-Yeah.
**[00:30] Shirogane**
Wait, Suzu. We need to talk.
**[00:32] Suzu**
What is it, Shirogane?
**[00:34] Shirogane**
You saw how I had almost all
of my haku consumed by Hinojiki.
**[00:39] Shirogane**
I've lost my ayakashi powers.
**[00:41] Shirogane**
This is the only form I can
take now, scroll or no scroll.
**[00:47] Shirogane**
It has become difficult for me to
fulfill my role as the king of ayakashi.
**[00:52] Shirogane**
But the lack of a ruler could cause
untold chaos in the ayakashi world.
**[00:56] Shirogane**
As such... Suzu!
**[01:00] Shirogane**
You must become the king of ayakashi!
***SIGN*** Hokusai High School
**[02:37] Yayoi**
Suzu! Matsuri!
**[02:40] Yayoi**
Where'd you two disappear to yesterday?
***SIGN*** Episode 12: "Kanade Suzu, the King of Ayakashi"
**[02:43] Yayoi**
You didn't even say anything to us!
***SIGN*** UFOs in Underground Cities
**[02:46] Lucy**
We thought you were kidnapped
by a secret syndicate.
**[02:49] Suzu**
Huh? O-Oh, sorry about that.
**[02:52] Matsuri**
We were talking about something,
**[02:54] Matsuri**
and before we knew it, it was time for class.
**[02:57] Matsuri**
So we just skipped.
**[02:59] Yayoi**
I figured it was something like that.
**[03:01] Lucy**
Sujimori-sensei was fuming, you know.
**[03:04] Lucy**
You should probably make yourselves scarce.
**[03:09] Sujimori**
Kazamaki! Kanade!
**[03:12] Sujimori**
To the staff room! Now!
**[03:14] Both**
Y-Yessir!
**[03:18] Matsuri**
Ugh, that was torture.
**[03:21] Suzu**
Yayo and Lu really didn't remember anything.
**[03:25] Suzu**
They forgot all about Hinojiki-kun.
**[03:27] Suzu**
They even met him.
**[03:31] Matsuri**
Gramps once told me...
**[03:34] Matsuri**
For people who don't believe in ayakashi,
**[03:36] Matsuri**
it's difficult to remember
one that has disappeared.
**[03:40] Suzu**
Oh...
**[03:42] Matsuri**
Ayakashi are just... strange like that.
They don't make sense.
**[03:49] Matsuri**
Sure, there are plenty of nice
and harmless ones around.
**[03:52] Matsuri**
But they're fundamentally
hard to comprehend.
**[03:55] Matsuri**
Hinojiki was the same, right?
**[03:58] Matsuri**
So, Suzu...
**[04:00] Suzu**
"So, Suzu, it's impossible for you
to be the king of ayakashi."
**[04:03] Suzu**
Is that what you're trying to say?
**[04:06] Matsuri**
I'm just worried...
**[04:08] Matsuri**
about you.
**[04:14] Suzu**
Thanks, Matsuri. But you know...
**[04:17] Suzu**
I thought about it all night and decided.
**[04:20] Suzu**
I'm gonna do it.
**[04:22] Matsuri**
Suzu...
**[04:24] Suzu**
I've felt my ayakashi medium powers
grow ever since Shirogane showed up.
**[04:29] Suzu**
Getting more involved with ayakashi
might lead to drawing out more of my power.
**[04:34] Suzu**
Like I said yesterday,
**[04:36] Suzu**
if I can draw out all of my
power as an ayakashi medium,
**[04:39] Suzu**
I might be able to turn you back into a guy.
**[04:41] Suzu**
Isn't that right?
**[04:43] Suzu**
So I'm gonna give it a shot.
**[04:49] Matsuri**
Yeesh. I can't beat you in an argument.
**[04:52] Suzu**
Matsuri...
**[04:53] Matsuri**
I'll help, too.
**[04:55] Matsuri**
It'd be dangerous for you to do it all alone.
**[04:58] Suzu**
Thanks.
**[04:59] Shirogane**
That was the response I was waiting for.
**[05:01] Suzu**
Shirogane.
**[05:03] Shirogane**
Come with me, Suzu.
**[05:05] Shirogane**
I'll test you to see
if you are fit to be king.
***SIGN*** Principal's Office
**[05:09] Principal**
Good grief.
**[05:11] Principal**
You chose that girls' school
because it was close to home.
**[05:15] Principal**
You're so fickle.
**[05:16] Reo**
Well...
**[05:17] Reo**
As an artisan, I thought I should
be closer to my partner, Matsuri-kun.
**[05:22] Reo**
Thank you for accepting
this sudden transfer request,
**[05:25] Reo**
Grandma!
**[05:26] Principal**
I don't have the ability to see ayakashi,
**[05:29] Principal**
so I can only offer support
as an ordinary person.
**[05:32] Principal**
Do your best to prove useful
to Kazamaki-san and friends.
**[05:35] Reo**
I will!
**[05:38] Reo**
And that's the formalities done with!
**[05:40] Reo**
Now, to surprise my
beloved partner, Matsuri-kun!
**[05:46] Reo**
Oh?
**[05:47] Reo**
Is that Suzu-san... and the king of ayakashi?
**[05:54] Azubeh**
Suzu-sama, please help me.
**[05:57] Azubeh**
I have lost something really important!
**[06:00] Suzu**
What did you lose?
**[06:02] Azubeh**
My box full of azuki beans.
**[06:04] Azubeh**
I left it here and took a nap in the shade,
but it was gone when I woke up!
**[06:11] Suzu**
I wonder if someone took and ate it.
**[06:13] Suzu**
I love desserts with azuki, too.
**[06:15] Azubeh**
Eek! No!
**[06:17] Shirogane**
This is Azubeh, the azuki bean counter.
**[06:20] Shirogane**
He's an ayakashi that scares people
by making noises with his azuki beans.
**[06:24] Suzu**
What is even the point?
**[06:26] Shirogane**
No point. He's just
an ayakashi that does that.
**[06:30] Shirogane**
But without his azuki beans,
he can no longer be an azuki counter.
**[06:34] Shirogane**
He'll eventually disappear.
**[06:35] Suzu**
That's colossally bad news!
**[06:37] Suzu**
Got it! I'll trust that his beans haven't
been eaten yet and look for them!
**[06:41] Suzu**
* If I focus, I should be*
* able to detect something.*
**[06:46] Matsuri**
Ninokuru-senpai, got a minute?
**[06:50] Classmates**
Who's that?
**[06:51] Classmates**
She's so casual with him.
**[06:53] Classmates**
She's gonna get killed.
**[06:54] Classmates**
Look at him. He's pissed.
**[06:56] Classmates**
But... could she be his girlfriend?!
**[06:57] Soga**
Don't come to my class!
**[06:59] Matsuri**
Why not?!
**[07:00] Soga**
Actually, I thought you turned
back into a guy, Kazamaki!
**[07:03] Matsuri**
I did, but only temporarily.
**[07:05] Matsuri**
Anyway, forget that.
**[07:06] Matsuri**
We need to talk about something important.
**[07:12] Azubeh**
Are my beans over this way, Suzu-sama?
**[07:15] Suzu**
I'm just guessing, but I feel something
similar to your presence in this direction.
**[07:21] Soga**
I see.
**[07:22] Soga**
Kanade Suzu is taking over
as the king of ayakashi?
**[07:24] Matsuri**
Well, it's not set in stone yet,
but Suzu wants to do it.
**[07:30] Soga**
I suppose the traditional
ayakashi of old do need a leader.
**[07:35] Soga**
But I find it hard to believe
that a human can take on that role.
**[07:39] Matsuri**
So you agree with me.
**[07:41] Soga**
That said, we don't have a proper
grasp on Kanade Suzu's powers.
**[07:45] Soga**
If it's what she wants,
we can wait and see what happens.
**[07:49] Soga**
Of course, we can't let our guard down.
**[07:51] Soga**
And don't forget to report to
the Exorcist Ninja Association.
**[07:55] Matsuri**
Yeah, I know.
**[07:57] Soga**
Is that all you wanted to talk about?
**[07:59] Matsuri**
Oh, uh...
**[08:01] Soga**
What? If there's something else, spit it out.
**[08:04] Matsuri**
Uh, sorry... I know how you feel, but...
**[08:13] Matsuri**
I'm in love with Suzu, too.
**[08:22] Soga**
Ah.
**[08:23] Soga**
No need to apologize.
**[08:26] Soga**
I've been thinking myself...
**[08:29] Soga**
that you're the one who's
more suited to be with her.
**[08:34] Soga**
Forget about me and
go out with her right away.
**[08:39] Matsuri**
Uh... I'm a girl right now.
**[08:42] Matsuri**
Besides, I don't know if Suzu
feels the same way about me.
**[08:48] Soga**
Wha?
**[08:49] Matsuri**
I mean, I didn't have any friends
until I turned into a girl.
**[08:51] Soga**
*What is he talking about?*
**[08:53] Matsuri**
I'm not funny, smart,
**[08:53] Soga**
* No woman would hug a man*
* like that if she didn't like him!*
**[08:55] Matsuri**
or confident enough to assume
she'd like me that way.
**[08:57] Soga**
*You have such low self-esteem, Kazamaki!*
**[09:01] Matsuri**
If I ask her out, I'm sure...
**[09:03] Soga**
*He may be strong,*
**[09:06] Soga**
*but he's brainless when it comes to love.*
**[09:09] Soga**
*Totally brainless!*
**[09:16] Soga**
*Why did my heart just go badump?!*
**[09:18] Soga**
*D-Don't make that face! You're a guy!*
**[09:21] Soga**
*B-But right now, you're making me...*
**[09:23] Soga**
Quit panicking, you naive fool!
**[09:26] Soga**
If you're not confident,
work on improving yourself!
**[09:28] Soga**
Your physical body doesn't matter!
**[09:30] Soga**
Aim to be the one who is
most suitable for Kanade Suzu!
**[09:34] Soga**
That's what Kazamaki Matsuri,
the man I see as my rival, would do!
**[09:38] Soga**
That's the kind of man he is!
**[09:42] Matsuri**
Senpai...
**[09:45] Matsuri**
You're so cool!
**[09:47] Soga**
Don't touch me! And don't call me cool!
**[09:50] Azubeh**
Whoa!
**[09:51] Azubeh**
Ooh, this is one of my azuki beans!
**[09:55] Suzu**
Really?
**[09:57] Shirogane**
* She noticed the meager ayakashi*
* energy infused in the bean?*
**[10:01] Shirogane**
* Has her ability to detect*
* ayakashi improved, as well?*
**[10:04] Suzu**
It's not just one bean, right?
**[10:07] Suzu**
Which means there must be more nearby.
**[10:09] Ponosuke**
Coo coo po...
**[10:12] Soga**
Ponosuke, what do you have there?
**[10:14] Ponosuke**
What? Master?!
**[10:16] Ponosuke**
I-It's pot what you think!
**[10:18] Ponosuke**
I certainly did not pick up these azuki beans
on the ground intending to eat them...
**[10:23] Ponosuke**
No!
**[10:25] Matsuri**
Wh-Whoa! S-Senpai!
**[10:28] Soga**
Argh! An exorcist ninja cannot
fall for such a typical gag!
**[10:31] Ponosuke**
Get through this, Master!
**[10:35] Suzu**
The presence is getting stronger.
**[10:37] Azubeh**
Wow!
**[10:38] Azubeh**
Look, Suzu-sama!
**[10:41] Suzu**
Azuki beans!
**[10:43] Shirogane**
* She is growing much faster*
* than I ever thought possible.*
**[10:47] Suzu**
Which means...
**[10:48] Suzu**
They're over here?
**[10:50] Suzu**
What?
**[10:58] Matsuri**
Oh, hey, Suzu.
**[10:59] Suzu**
M-M... M-M-Matsuri?!
**[11:02] Suzu**
What do you think you're doing?!
I-Is that Ninokuru-senpai?!
**[11:06] Matsuri**
Suzu?!
**[11:08] Matsuri**
Suzu!
**[11:12] Reo**
Wow, this is incredible.
**[11:14] Reo**
Suzu-san, you smell so sweet and *spicy.*
**[11:18] Suzu**
R-Reo-chan?!
**[11:20] Reo**
You've changed completely since we last met.
**[11:24] Reo**
I can feel the development of your
ayakashi medium powers deep inside.
**[11:31] Shirogane**
*My only concern with Kanade Suzu*
**[11:33] Shirogane**
* is how frequently she winds up*
* in these scandalous situations.*
**[11:37] Azubeh**
My azuki beans!
**[11:39] Azubeh**
Long live Suzu-sama!
**[11:39] Soga**
A guy... Kazamaki Matsuri is a guy...
**[11:42] Ponosuke**
Master, keep it together!
**[11:45] Shirogane**
No! Unhand me!
**[11:48] Shirogane**
I don't want a wash!
**[11:50] Suzu**
Come on, keep still!
**[11:52] Shirogane**
That tickles, you scandalous girl!
**[11:55] Suzu**
What are you even saying?
**[11:58] Shirogane**
Stop this at once!
**[11:58] Suzu**
Look, you got colossally dirty here.
**[12:03] Suzu**
No can do!
**[12:06] Ritta**
Is Sis really talking to herself like that?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100
***SIGN*** Normal people
cannot hear
ayakashi!
**[12:10] Seigen**
Oh? So Shirogane's staying
with Suzu-chan from today?
**[12:15] Matsuri**
Yeah. Suzu said she wanted him
to teach her more about ayakashi.
**[12:19] Matsuri**
With Shirogane as he is now, there's
no need to worry about any mischief...
***SIGN*** Suzu
***SIGN*** Today
***SIGN*** Everything okay?
Don't be reckless.
***SIGN*** All good!
***SIGN*** Just got out of the bath.
Shirogane wouldn't sit still,
but I washed him and he's
all clean now!
**[12:27] Matsuri**
Suzu says she washed Shirogane in the bath.
**[12:33] Seigen**
She's such a caring girl.
**[12:36] Seigen**
If you don't turn back into a boy soon,
she might wash you, too.
**[12:40] Matsuri**
Even if we're both girls,
that'd never happen!
**[12:47] Matsuri**
Anyway...
**[12:48] Matsuri**
Can she actually take over
as the king of ayakashi?
**[12:53] Seigen**
Well...
**[12:55] Seigen**
That might be up to you
as you stand by her, Matsuri.
***SIGN*** Shirogane Shrine
**[13:07] Ayakashi**
To the ayakashi medium!
**[13:08] Ayakashi**
Suzu-sama!
**[13:09] Ayakashi**
To our new king!
**[13:12] Ayakashi**
Cheers!
**[13:14] Suzu**
Thanks, everyone.
**[13:16] Matsuri**
* She's fitting right in*
* on the very first day?!*
**[13:20] Garaku**
I called upon the local ayakashi
to celebrate the new king.
**[13:26] Matsuri**
Garaku.
**[13:28] Matsuri**
You arranged all this awfully quickly.
**[13:30] Garaku**
Oh, you know,
**[13:31] Garaku**
I wanted to avoid a situation where we
were without a king for too long a time.
**[13:36] Ayakashi**
Suzu-sama is wonderful!
**[13:38] Ayakashi**
Truly fit to be our new king!
**[13:40] Ayakashi**
Indeed.
**[13:41] Suzu**
Hehe. I'll do my best.
**[13:43] Tanumaro**
I object!
**[13:47] Suzu**
Tanumaro? It's been too long!
**[13:49] Tanumaro**
A human could never be the king of ayakashi!
**[13:54] Matsuri**
I remember seeing him play
with Suzu all the time.
**[13:58] Tanumaro**
I looked up to Shirogane-sama.
**[14:01] Tanumaro**
He is so strong and cool...
**[14:04] Tanumaro**
And he saved me when I was attacked
by an Ikon in the mountains!
**[14:09] Tanumaro**
She might be the ayakashi medium or
whatever, but Suzu is a weak human.
**[14:12] Tanumaro**
She won't be able to
resolve ayakashi problems.
**[14:16] Ayakashi**
True.
**[14:17] Ayakashi**
Shirogane-sama's mere presence was reassuring.
**[14:21] Ayakashi**
He's strong, but bossy.
**[14:24] Ayakashi**
Yeah! Even though he nags
too much and sheds a lot...
**[14:27] Garaku**
They really love and respect you.
**[14:29] Shirogane**
Sounds more like they're
starting to badmouth me.
**[14:34] Matsuri**
Don't worry, Tanumaro.
**[14:36] Matsuri**
I'll support Suzu.
**[14:38] Matsuri**
Maintaining peace among ayakashi is one way
to carry out an exorcist ninja's duty.
**[14:44] Tanumaro**
Matsuri...
**[14:47] Tanumaro**
You're the one who taught me that
ayakashi and humans can't coexist!
**[14:52] Matsuri**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[14:54] Tanumaro**
Ayakashi Art:
**[14:56] Tanumaro**
Steamy Visions!
**[15:04] Matsuri**
Where am I?
**[15:07] Matsuri**
Our bath?
**[15:13] Suzu**
Matsuri.
**[15:16] Suzu**
I'll wash your body.
**[15:18] Matsuri**
Suzu?!
**[15:23] Matsuri**
*Did Tanumaro create this illusion?*
**[15:25] Suzu**
Let's get you squeaky clean.
**[15:28] Matsuri**
H-Hey, stop!
**[15:29] Suzu**
It's fine. We're both girls now.
**[15:35] Suzu**
Well? Feels good, doesn't it?
**[15:37] Matsuri**
*This is an attack on my mental state!*
**[15:39] Matsuri**
*I'm gonna lose my mind!*
**[15:43] Suzu**
What are you doing, Tanumaro?
**[15:47] Suzu**
Matsuri?!
**[15:47] Garaku**
Steamy Visions.
**[15:49] Garaku**
It's an ayakashi art that only the masters
of deceit, the Tea Kettle clan, can use.
**[15:54] Garaku**
It shows endless visions to those it captures.
**[15:57] Shirogane**
It acts as a barrier that
closes off the outside world.
**[16:01] Shirogane**
A human can't interfere
with it from the outside.
**[16:03] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[16:05] Tanumaro**
* This illusion creates the situation*
* that you would find most troubling!*
**[16:11] Tanumaro**
* I have no idea why this is the worst*
* possible scenario to you, though...*
**[16:17] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Stay away from Suzu!
**[16:19] (Flashback) Suzu**
Stop this, Matsuri.
**[16:20] (Flashback) Matsuri**
Go away!
**[16:27] Tanumaro**
This is revenge for rejecting
your former friends!
**[16:32] Ayakashi**
Talk about holding a grudge.
**[16:34] Ayakashi**
Right?
**[16:36] Suzu**
Matsuri!
**[16:38] Tanumaro**
It's no use, Suzu.
**[16:39] Tanumaro**
Only ayakashi can interfere with this barrier.
**[16:44] Tanumaro**
I'll release Matsuri if you both
promise to leave us alone.
**[16:49] Suzu**
*He's in pain.*
**[16:50] Suzu**
*What terrible visions is he seeing?*
**[16:53] Tanumaro**
We live in different worlds.
**[16:58] Suzu**
Tanumaro...
**[17:02] Suzu**
Okay.
**[17:03] Suzu**
Time to clean you up over here, too.
**[17:06] Matsuri**
S-Stop it, Suzu!
**[17:09] Matsuri**
*Calm down, man!*
**[17:10] Matsuri**
* I should be able to undo*
* this spell with my wind arts.*
**[17:15] Matsuri**
* But doing that won't make Tanumaro*
* accept Suzu as the king of ayakashi.*
**[17:21] Matsuri**
*His distrust of humans is something I caused.*
**[17:25] Matsuri**
* I thought every ayakashi that got*
* near Suzu was a danger to her*
**[17:28] Matsuri**
*and chased them away.*
**[17:30] Matsuri**
*I was too immature!*
**[17:32] Matsuri**
*I was wrong!*
**[17:34] Matsuri**
*So endure... Endure it!*
**[17:37] Matsuri**
*Until Tanumaro is satisfied!*
**[17:42] Suzu**
Tanumaro. You know,
Matsuri's a lot stronger now.
**[17:47] Suzu**
He could probably blow away
this steam if he wanted to.
**[17:51] Suzu**
But he isn't. He's enduring it.
**[17:56] Suzu**
Because he knows doing that wouldn't
repair his friendship with you.
**[18:01] Suzu**
You remember yourself, don't you?
**[18:05] Suzu**
Matsuri never really hated you
or the other ayakashi.
**[18:11] Tanumaro**
Matsuri...
**[18:14] Tanumaro**
Fine! I'll undo the spell!
**[18:20] Suzu**
Tanumaro!
**[18:21] Tanumaro**
Danu!
**[18:23] Tanumaro**
H-Huh?
**[18:25] Suzu**
What's wrong?
**[18:27] Tanumaro**
I'm actually still training with this spell!
I don't know how to undo it!
**[18:34] Suzu**
Wha?
**[18:35] Shirogane**
You fool! Don't use a spell
you haven't mastered!
**[18:38] Garaku**
Oh, dear. So the spell will stay activated?
**[18:42] Garaku**
Not only will Matsuri-kun have to
endure the pain, but also...
**[18:47] Shirogane**
Tanumaro will keep using up his
ayakashi power and disappear in the end.
**[18:54] Suzu**
Oh, no!
**[18:55] Garaku**
Oh, well. I'll go tell Matsuri-kun.
**[18:58] Shirogane**
No, Garaku. Wait.
**[19:03] Suzu**
*I have to fix this.*
**[19:06] Suzu**
*I am the king of ayakashi.*
**[19:09] (Flashback) Tanumaro**
Only ayakashi can interfere with this barrier.
**[19:14] Suzu**
So it's okay if it's an ayakashi? Then...
**[19:30] Garaku**
*The cloning ayakashi, Omokage!*
**[19:33] Garaku**
*It's an ability of the ayakashi medium.*
**[19:35] Suzu**
* I manifested it unknowingly last time,*
* so I couldn't control it too well.*
**[19:41] Suzu**
*But now...*
**[19:45] Garaku**
*Humans are unable to get inside that barrier,*
**[19:48] Garaku**
*so she's using an ayakashi body!*
**[19:51] Suzu**
Matsuri, your feelings
got through to Tanumaro.
**[19:56] Suzu**
So don't hold back. Let it all go.
**[20:01] Matsuri**
Thanks, Suzu.
**[20:09] Ayakashi**
Whoa! He broke through Steamy Visions!
**[20:12] Ayakashi**
He really is strong!
**[20:17] Suzu**
Are you okay, Matsuri?
**[20:18] Matsuri**
Y-Yeah...
**[20:20] Tanumaro**
*Suzu and Matsuri are both amazing!*
**[20:24] Suzu**
Tanumaro.
**[20:27] Suzu**
Let's all make up, shall we?
**[20:37] Tanumaro**
If my king wishes it.
**[20:40] Suzu**
Tanumaro!
**[20:42] Tanumaro**
Besides, you showed incredible guts, Matsuri.
**[20:47] Tanumaro**
I guess we were both deceived in the past.
**[20:51] Matsuri**
Yeah.
**[20:53] Matsuri**
Glad to be your friend again, Tanumaro.
**[20:58] Suzu**
By the way, Matsuri. What kind
of illusions did you see in there?
**[21:02] Matsuri**
Huh? W-Well...
**[21:05] Matsuri**
I can't even say.
**[21:06] Suzu**
What? That's colossally unfair!
**[21:08] Suzu**
Tell me!
**[21:09] Shirogane**
* That panicked expression... It must*
* have been one scandalous illusion.*
**[21:10] Matsuri**
Over my dead body!
**[21:14] Shirogane**
That aside, I can't believe Suzu
had even mastered the Omokage spell.
**[21:21] Garaku**
It seems we can expect great things.
**[21:25] Garaku**
In many ways.
**[21:29] Ayakashi**
Long live Suzu-sama!
**[21:31] Ayakashi**
To our new king!
**[21:34] Suzu**
Thanks, everyone.
**[21:37] Suzu**
* Matsuri, I will turn you*
* back into a guy someday.*
**[21:43] Matsuri**
*Suzu...*
**[21:44] Matsuri**
*I swear I'll protect you, come what may.*
**[21:49] Suzu**
*And...*
**[21:49] Matsuri**
*And...*
**[21:51] Suzu**
*Someday, we'll surely...*
**[21:51] Matsuri**
*Someday, we'll surely...*
**[21:54] Narrator**
Love.
**[21:55] Narrator**
A strange emotion, invisible to man.
**[21:59] Narrator**
A girl who became the king of ayakashi,
**[22:02] Narrator**
and an exorcist ninja boy-turned-girl...
**[22:04] Narrator**
Their bizarre love triangle
has only just begun.
