    How deplorable.
[00:04] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2
    So, they're even getting
    children like you involved.
[00:13] Polka
    What in the world?
[00:15] Polka
    What do you mean by "Bastard
    Child of Sabaramond"?
[00:19] Polka
    Is Sabaramond-san in this world?
[00:22] Polka
    Do you come from the empire
    in that world, too?
[00:25] Polka
    Or... do you have ties to
    the Kingdom of Nyanild?

    I don't know those terms.

    Is he different from them?
[00:44] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    No, the same. An enemy.
[00:48] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2
    Polka Shinoyama, what are you?
[00:54] Polka
    Damn it, they're not making sense!
[00:57] Polka
    Those words were only just
    burned into the wall.
[01:01] Polka
    Are they watching me from nearby?
[01:04] Polka
    No one else is on this floor.
[01:07] Polka
    Only Sayo-san is on the floor below.
[01:10] Polka
    There are a few people near the building,
[01:13] Polka
    and... two on the roof?
[01:15] Polka
    Wait, what?

    Seriously, who is this boy?
[03:16] Solitaire
    For now, O goddess of fortune, at
    least let me sound like I have a clue!
[03:21] Xiaoyu
    Who is this guy?
[03:24] Xiaoyu
    He's slower than the Heilei,
    but his unpredictability is a pain.
[03:28] Xiaoyu
    What the hell does someone
    like him want with Polka?
[03:32] Xiaoyu
    Or is he here for the fake Polka?
[03:35] Xiaoyu
    Maybe I can get him to tell me.
[03:37] Xiaoyu
    So, what brings you here, mister?
[03:40] Xiaoyu
    Are you looking for someone
    named Hosorogi, maybe?
[03:46] Solitaire
    Well, now.
[03:47] Solitaire
    I don't know who that is,
    but I'll take what I can get!
[03:50] Solitaire
    Hosorogi, you're a lifesaver!
[03:54] Solitaire
    Oh? So, you've already guessed that much.
[03:58] Solitaire
    Well, no matter.
[03:59] Solitaire
    I'll repay Hosorogi some other time!
[04:03] Solitaire
    I did it! Good night and good luck,
    goddess of fortune!
[04:08] Xiaoyu
    Repay Hosorogi?
[04:10] Xiaoyu
    What could a wanted man like
    you owe a police IA inspector?
[04:15] Solitaire
    Huh?
[04:17] Xiaoyu
    Was that shooting a one-man show you staged?

    Open mouth, insert foot!

[04:24] Solitaire

[04:28] Xiaoyu
    His heartbeat sped up. Did I guess right?
[04:33] Solitaire
    Close... but no cigar.
[04:35] Solitaire
    The shooting was a some-other-man show.

[04:39] Solitaire
    However, the fact that it occurred at all
SIGN    Struggling to keep his story straight
[04:42] Solitaire
    means that something happened to Hosorogi.
[04:45] Solitaire
    So, out of concern, I came
    to do a little investigating.
[04:50] Xiaoyu
    I see.
SIGN    Hosorogi
SIGN    This Guy
[04:52] Xiaoyu
    What's his relationship
    to Hosorogi?
SIGN    Polka
[04:56] Xiaoyu
    Well, whatever.
[04:58] Xiaoyu
    Is this guy His Lordship's enemy?
[05:00] Xiaoyu
    No matter what, I need to catch
    him and make him tell me!
[05:03] Solitaire
    Dear me, do you have another
    trick up your sleeve?
[05:06] Solitaire
    Don't bother. This time,
    you'll be the one in for a fright.
[05:10] Xiaoyu
    Oh, yeah?
[05:11] Xiaoyu
    I can't wait to see how
    you'll... surprise me!
[05:30] Xiaoyu
    Lemmings!
[05:32] Xiaoyu
    The jack-of-all-trades turned urban legend!
[05:35] Xiaoyu
    He's a monster. Identity unknown.
[05:37] Xiaoyu
    And he's one of the people my family,
    the Heilei, declared off-limits.
[05:43] Xiaoyu
    Don't tell me you're working with him?
[05:49] Solitaire
    I see you're just as shocked
    as I hoped you would be!
[05:53] Solitaire
    And so am I!
[05:54] Solitaire
    He's a dangerous fellow.
    Not even I know what he'll do.
[05:59] Solitaire
    I really have no idea!
[06:01] Solitaire
    So, if you care to surrender
    and flee, now is your chance.

    I've heard of this guy!
[06:07] Solitaire
    I don't know his name,
[06:08] Solitaire
    but he's the master of unspecified
    employment they call Lemmings!
[06:12] Solitaire
    Baby-faced young man of mystery,
    try not to antagonize this berserker.
[06:17] Solitaire
    Once he gets started,
    not even I can stop him!

    Does Rozan-sama's bodyguard
    know about Lemmings?
[06:37] (Flashback) Takeru
    I haven't told my family
    much about any of you.
[06:41] (Flashback) Takeru
    Of course, Lemmings may have been
    spotted during the recent fire.
[06:46] (Flashback) Bao
    Then...
[06:47] (Flashback) Takeru
    Don't fret. We won't lose
    anyone to friendly fire.
[06:52] (Flashback) Takeru
    I warned him not to touch
    my grandfather's bodyguard.
[06:57] (Flashback) Takeru
    He won't go against my orders.
[07:01] (Flashback) Takeru
    No matter what is done to him.
[07:05] Xiaoyu
    What the hell...
[07:07] Xiaoyu
    What the hell is this guy?!
[07:15] Xiaoyu
    Are you ignoring me?!
[07:21] Xiaoyu
    I can't cut him!
[07:26] Xiaoyu
    Then, how about this?!
[07:40] Solitaire
    Th-That was your cue to grab the person
    shocking you and go out together!
[07:46] Solitaire
    Today's youth is too blasé about
    electrocution! They need a wake-up call!
[07:53] Xiaoyu
    Aren't you on the same side?!
[07:56] Solitaire
    Who can say?
[07:58] Solitaire
    In my eyes, the whole world
    around me is an ally.
[08:02] Solitaire
    So, you could say our bandaged friend
     is on my side, and so are you!
[08:07] Xiaoyu
    What?

    Say no to infighting!

    Excuse me, miss? Do you have a moment?
[08:32] Tozawa
    Oh, don't be afraid. We're with the
    Shinjuku Community Safety Division.
[08:38] Yatsu
    You see, we wonder why you're wearing
    that coat in this great weather.

    As police officers, we can't ignore

SIGN    Call Ended
[08:54] Polka
    They hung up.
[08:56] Polka
    What is it? What's going on?
[08:58] Polka
    Details from my world are making it here,
    although only in bits and pieces.
[09:04] (Flashback) Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2
    ...a Bastard Child of Sabaramond?
[09:08] Polka
    The world I ran from.
[09:11] Polka
    I've become its enemy, so corrupted
    that I can never go back,
[09:16] Polka
    but it's where I remember my loved ones.
[09:20] Polka
    No. Don't touch it. Don't defile it!
[09:31] Polka
    One of the people I sense
    above is definitely Lemmings.
[09:35] Polka
    And those below seem flustered.
[09:38] Polka
    So, considering when the call ended,
[09:41] Polka
    there's a good chance the caller is nearby.
[09:45] Polka
    I can't let one of my few
    clues slip through my fingers.
[09:50] Polka
    I'll start

    you keep staring out to sea.
    Is something wrong?
[10:21] Izliz
    I was just waxing sentimental

    that fell 100 years or more ago.

    You were thinking about the
    Corpse God, weren't you?
[10:37] (Flashback) Izliz
    It's the same thing.
[10:39] (Flashback) Izliz
    Raising that dimwitted pupil was
    just about all I did for the empire.
[10:45] (Flashback) Romelka
    That's still an achievement to be proud of!
[10:48] (Flashback) Romelka
    A master and apprentice simultaneously
    being court sorcerers is almost unheard of.
[10:51] (Flashback) Romelka
    Even I had to wait my turn
    until my teacher retired!
[10:55] (Flashback) Romelka
    The Corpse God was one of the five best,
[10:58] (Flashback) Romelka
    and he took his necromancy in a
    different direction from yours.
[11:02] (Flashback) Romelka
    The way you were two sides of the
    same coin made my heart skip a beat!
[11:06] (Flashback) Romelka
    Or maybe sent mana rushing to my leaves.
    Anyway, it was to die for!
[11:09] (Flashback) Izliz
    I see a century hasn't
    slowed your tongue one bit.
[11:14] (Flashback) Izliz
    I suppose magical longevity makes
    one proportionately slow to mature.
[11:21] (Flashback) Izliz
    Perhaps my fool of an apprentice
[11:23] (Flashback) Izliz
    remained a boy to the bitter end.
[11:27] (Flashback) Romelka
    What's wrong with never growing up?
[11:31] (Flashback) Romelka
    The Corpse God is normally such a nice boy.
[11:34] (Flashback) Romelka
    So different from the way he is in battle...
[11:37] (Flashback) Izliz
    A nice boy, is he?
[11:40] (Flashback) Izliz
    You have it wrong. Completely wrong.
[11:45] (Flashback) Romelka
    Huh?
[11:45] (Flashback) Izliz
    That dunce surpasses me in
    only one thing: empathy.
[11:52] (Flashback) Romelka
    Empathy?
[11:53] (Flashback) Izliz
    He never realized this himself,
    but he has almost no will of his own.
[11:59] (Flashback) Izliz
    He gives himself over entirely
    to those he feels close to.
[12:04] (Flashback) Izliz
    I suppose that's why he sympathizes
    with the dead far better than I can.
[12:10] (Flashback) Izliz
    And that is why... that is the reason why...
[12:14] (Flashback) Izliz
    Although he doesn't mind being dragged
    through the mud one bit,
[12:17] (Flashback) Izliz
    when the "home" he depends on is defiled,
[12:20] (Flashback) Izliz
    then he... then the Corpse God...
[12:25] (Flashback) Izliz
    loses all control.
[12:42] Yatsu
    I'm supposed to watch the area around
    this building for who knows what.
[12:47] Yatsu
    A schoolgirl in a raincoat when
    it's not raining? Kind of fishy.
[12:52] Yatsu
    I remember the Gator Sisters, though.
    I can't let my guard down because she's a girl.
[13:00] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    I-I'm so sorry!
[13:03] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    You see, our dog ran away, and my
    dad and I went out looking for him.
[13:08] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    I think he went into that building.
[13:12] Tozawa
    Hmm...
[13:13] Yatsu
    And where's your dad now?
[13:15] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    I called to say I found Toyomaru—that's
    our dog—so he should be here soon.
[13:20] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    Oh, there he is. Dad!
[13:24] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2
    What do you want with my daughter?
[13:26] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    Dad, don't glare like that.
    These guys are cops!
[13:31] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 2
    Excuse me. My daughter and I
    are out looking for our dog.
[13:35] Yatsu
    So, why the raincoat?
[13:37] Alpha Fire-Breathing Bug 4
    So I don't get dirty searching
    nooks and crannies.
[13:41] Polka
    No. There are no living dogs near here.
[13:46] Polka
    The girl speaking with the officers,
    and the man facing Lemmings on the roof...
[13:53] Polka
    I recognize the hues of both their souls.
[13:55] Polka
    They asked me about the emblem
    when I told their fortunes.
[14:00] Polka
    This is no coincidence.
[14:02] Polka
    I'll expand my Temple slightly.
[14:13] Office Worker 2
    What the...?
[14:15] Hostess
    Hey, does it feel chilly to you?
[14:22] (Flashback) Izliz
    We'll review the basics today, boy.
[14:27] (Flashback) Izliz
    Starting with the construction
    of a Netherworld Overflow Temple.
[14:32] (Flashback) Izliz
    Have you ever felt afraid of a forest
    at night, cloaked in silence?
[14:37] (Flashback) Izliz
    Or experienced a sense of the sublime
     merely by standing in a shrine?
[14:43] (Flashback) Izliz
    By adding a hint of the other side to
    your surroundings or a closed space,
[14:49] (Flashback) Izliz
    you can lend them a degree of such
    invisible atmosphere at will.
[14:55] (Flashback) Izliz
    Those without the Evil Eye
    will merely sense the change,
[14:59] (Flashback) Izliz
    but with enough time, you can disorient and
    dazzle them, as you would with an illusion.
[15:10] (Flashback) Izliz
    Hmm... I suppose this is your limit now.
[15:13] (Flashback) Izliz
    Don't be in such a hurry, boy.
[15:17] (Flashback) Izliz
    If you keep honing your craft,
[15:20] (Flashback) Izliz
    you'll be able to engulf
    whole castles one day.
[15:26] Yatsu
    Is it me, or did it just get a lot colder?
[15:29] Tozawa
    Well now.
[15:31] Tozawa
    I don't know what caused it,
[15:33] Tozawa
    but something doesn't feel quite right.
[15:37] Polka
    Lemmings is on the roof.
[15:39] Polka
    I'd like to avoid confronting him directly.
[15:43] Polka
    Yet those who asked after the emblem are
    at the roof and the street entrance.
[15:49] Polka
    If they know something, I cannot
    afford to let them escape.
[15:54] Polka
    I'll begin by assisting Xiaoyu-kun.
SIGN    Won't people
    see you?
[16:00] Polka
    Rest easy. I will use
[16:04] Polka
    my Invisible Hands.
[16:07] Xiaoyu
    What's going on?
[16:08] Xiaoyu
    Something feels different all of a sudden.
[16:11] Xiaoyu
    It's like being at the bottom of a lake.
[16:15] Xiaoyu
    Everything looks the same...
    but I know something has changed.
[16:21] Solitaire
    Hmm... Did he release some sort of gas?
[16:25] Solitaire
    No.
[16:27] Solitaire
    This isn't physical; it's
    merely an ominous feeling.
[16:32] Solitaire
    It won't pay to stick around.
[16:38] Solitaire
    Um, excuse me, but would you mind telling me
[16:43] Solitaire
    if either of you did that?

    Don't look at me!

    Wh-What the...
[16:56] Xiaoyu
    What's going on?!
[16:57] Solitaire
    You're still after me, even under
    these bizarre circumstances?!
[17:02] Solitaire
    Whoops!
[17:07] Solitaire
    What is it? It's like something's
    been stopping us...
[17:11] Solitaire
    The boy seems fine as far as I can see.
[17:13] Solitaire
    Does that mean this thing is
    targeting us deliberately?
[17:19] Polka
    I'm in good form.
[17:21] Polka
    Sympathizing and sharing senses with
    shades is indeed far easier now.
[17:26] Polka
    Fine control is simple within this Temple—
    my Netherworld Overflow ward.
[17:32] Polka
    So... I'll take it a step further.

[17:58] Yatsu
    Well, I'd better call Iwa-san.

[18:06] Yatsu
    Sorry?
[18:07] Yatsu
    Oh.
[18:08] Yatsu
    Think that's another one of
    Solitaire's magic tricks?
[18:13] Solitaire
    How do you like my secret smoke screen?!
[18:16] Solitaire
    I added powdered cassava to recreate
    the taste of tapioca milk tea...
[18:22] Solitaire
    What on earth...?
[18:24] Polka
    I wove this necromantic
    spell to suit this world.
[18:30] Takeru
    It's me.
[18:32] Agent
    I'm sending video.
    Please review it immediately.
[18:36] Takeru
    What's happened?
[18:36] Agent
    I'm not qualified to judge.
[18:42] Takeru
    What the...?
[18:44] Polka
    By sympathizing with the spirits of the dead,
    I share senses with their hands.
[18:48] Polka
    I couldn't do this well in my old world.
    Its abundant mana got in the way.
[18:53] Solitaire
    So, you're here, too, Fire-Breathing Bug-kun.
[18:57] Solitaire
    You have some nerve,
    using me for misdirection.
[19:01] Solitaire
    But never mind! I forgive you!
[19:02] Solitaire
    Why? Because I'm in a simply fantastic mood!
[19:07] Solitaire
    Though I can't be certain, a great bridge
    of hope shines before me like a rainbow!
[19:14] Polka
    But in this mana-poor world,
    it's child's play.
[19:17] Polka
    And weaving in Shade Thread grants
    ghostly hands tangible force.
[19:23] Polka
    I've turned this world's
    environment against it to make...
[19:28] Polka
    a flock of Invisible Hands!
