[00:05] Matsuri
    Hey, Suzu!
[00:07] Suzu
    If I have the ability
[00:09] Suzu
    to undo the spell cast on Matsuri,
[00:12] Suzu
    it might be the first time that I'll be happy
[00:16] Suzu
    that I'm an ayakashi medium!
[00:22] Suzu
    Nothing's happening...
[00:28] Suzu
    But my power went inside you.
[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
[08:29] 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?

SIGN    Caltrops
[08:46] Matsuri

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?

[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.

    Super sensational!

    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.

    Your physical data will get
    sent to my computer here.
[12:28] Reo
    Are you ready, Matsuri-kun?
[12:31] Matsuri
    Okay. Ready as ever, Reo.

    Bring it!
[12:52] Reo
    Well, then! Mock battle...
[12:54] Reo
    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!

    Device get activated?!

    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?

    Again, what is this even for?

    I have an bad feeling that
    I can't dillydally any longer!

    Scroll this, scroll that...
[18:13] Matsuri
    You don't know when to give up, do you?

    Is he too ticklish to use his attacks?

    If Shirogane hadn't showed up,
    would I have never found out about it?

    While you're here, would you like
    to try on some exorcist ninja gear?

    Hmm, I don't know...

    Maybe if you have something cute.
[19:59] Reo
    I sure do!

    S... Suit up!

    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...
