[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

[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.
