[00:09] Clarissa     Wait. [00:11] Clarissa     If he were here to kill,     someone would already be dead. [00:15] Koruto     So, we'll be okay? [00:18] Clarissa     I guess we'll see. [00:21] Arase     Trying to guess what Lemmings     is thinking is a waste of time. [00:25] Arase     Iwa-san. [00:30] Arase     Either way, he's on the     nationwide wanted list. [00:34] Arase     Let's beat him down and put him in custody. [00:36] Iwanome     Don't forget, we technically have witnesses. [00:40] Misaki     Polka-kun, Polka-kun. [00:42] Misaki     I think that guy's probably     a lot scarier than the cops. [00:46] Polka     Yes. [00:47] Polka     I can tell. [00:51] Polka     Are those the ghosts of people he's killed? [00:54] Polka     They're torn between... hatred and fear? [01:04] Trio C     Wha—?! [01:10] Arase     You've got strong arms. [01:12] Arase     Have you been working out your core, too? [01:21] Iwanome     I did remind you we've got witnesses, yeah? [01:35] Arase     Take me seriously, damn it. [01:38] Polka     Huh? [01:45] Misaki     Who, me? [01:49] Misaki     Huh? Is this some new kind of pickup routine? [01:52] Polka     Misaki-chan! [01:53] Corpse God     I mustn't. [01:54] Corpse God     If those officials see my magic,     peace will slip through my fingers. [01:59] Corpse God     Perhaps permanently. [02:08] Corpse God     And regardless, [02:09] Corpse God     I'll never have peace if     I oppose that monster. [02:16] Iwanome     Arase! [02:17] Corpse God     He's similar to Shagrua,     although differently inclined. [02:22] Corpse God     Though human, he's pushed beyond human limits. [02:26] Corpse God     Thus, I'm left with only one choice: [02:29] Polka     Forsake the girl and flee. [02:38] Misaki     Polka-kun! [02:40] Polka     Maybe I messed up my reincarnation. [02:43] Polka     Teacher, it seems I've become quite a fool. [04:23] Iwanome     What the hell is that?! [04:26] Iwanome     Huh?! [04:32] Misaki     Polka-kun? [04:33] Misaki     I can't see, but that is you, isn't it? [04:35] Polka     Quiet! Let's get out while we can. [04:41] Iwanome     What? What was that noise?! [04:51] Polka     He can see in pitch darkness?! [05:22] Polka     Misaki-chan! [05:25] Misaki     Huh? [05:28] Misaki     Well, umm, see... [05:31] Misaki     I can't tell you that! [05:33] Misaki     I'd get chewed out if I did! [05:35] Misaki     So, end of discussion! Better luck next time! [05:42] Misaki     Hey, hold up! [05:44] Misaki     He's got nothing to do with this—     or any bad stuff. [05:49] Misaki     Well? I told you. [05:51] Misaki     Satisfied now? [05:53] Misaki     I'll even throw in a freebie! [05:56] Polka     Her paralytic saliva?! [06:02] Misaki     I can't bite through these bandages. [06:05] Misaki     Psych! [06:15] Misaki     Lucky you. That was basically a kiss. [06:20] Polka     Of course, a fork won't carry enough     saliva to fully immobilize him. [06:27] Polka     But thank you. [06:45] Polka     You bought me time to     work out a spell in peace. [07:01] Iwanome     What the hell? [07:03] Iwanome     We might as well not have been here,      for all the good we did. [07:06] Arase     Let's come in full gear next time. [07:08] Clarissa     Oh, my. That's awfully extreme. [07:14] Iwanome     Sorry, but after what I just saw,     I haven't got the balls to come back unarmed. [07:23] Clarissa     This is a non-smoking area. [07:25] Iwanome     Huh? [07:30] Takeru     So, you're back, [07:32] Takeru     Lemmings. [07:34] Takeru     You were gone a long time.     I expect quicker work from you. [07:42] Takeru     What? [07:43] Takeru     I see. So Jinba was already killed. [07:47] Takeru     Well, it never mattered     to me who disposed of him. [07:52] Takeru     I continue to have high hopes for you, Nezu. [07:58] Takeru     Is there something else? [08:04] Takumi     For real?! [08:06] Takumi     That guy's like an urban     legend here in Shinjuku. [08:09] Takumi     He slips in unnoticed and     does his job without a fuss. [08:13] Takumi     Because he can pop up anywhere,     they name him after a horde of rodents— [08:16] Takumi     "Lemmings." [08:19] Takumi     Man, I can't believe you     made it out in one piece. [08:21] Misaki     Yeah, we made a real killing! [08:24] Takumi     Still, you must've used a lot     of magic power on that, Polka. [08:29] Polka     Yes. [08:31] Polka     But the ghosts haunting that bandaged     man more than made up for it. [08:46] Polka     Thank you. [08:47] Misaki     Huh? What for? [08:49] Polka     You protected me. [08:52] Polka     You told him a secret, didn't you? [08:55] Misaki     Don't sweat it. [08:57] Misaki     You bailed me out, too, [08:59] Misaki     so we're even! [09:03] (Flashback) Teacher     It doesn't matter if you've known     someone one second or five years. [09:06] (Flashback) Teacher     If you want to help them, go ahead and do it. [09:10] (Flashback) Teacher     Boy, I suspect you'll live a long time. [09:15] (Flashback) Teacher     So long that the distinction between     a second and a century blurs. [09:19] (Flashback) Teacher     So don't bother worrying     about how long a thing lasts. [09:23] (Flashback) Teacher     As you live on and on,     the force of habit and experience [09:28] (Flashback) Teacher     will take control when it matters most. [09:34] Polka     With this frail body, I can't protect anyone. [09:38] Polka     Not even myself. [09:41] Polka     Misaki-chan. [09:43] Polka     Takumi-kun. [09:45] Polka     And... [09:46] Polka     the real Polka-kun. [09:48] Polka     I don't know the first thing about this world,      so I want you to teach me. [09:54] Polka     About yourselves, as well. [09:56] Takumi     What're you acting all formal for? [09:58] Polka     I see clearly now. [10:01] Polka     I don't want any peace [10:03] Polka     that requires sacrificing someone who     laughed with me, no matter how briefly. [10:18] Takeru     I can't believe you're still alive. [10:21] Takeru     You had me completely fooled, [10:23] Takeru     Polka. [10:25] Takeru     Playtime is over. [10:31] Polka     And so, [10:32] Polka     I've decided to start a business. [10:35] Takumi     What for? [10:36] Polka     What happened yesterday     drove it home for me. [10:38] Polka     To live here peacefully, with limited mana,     I really do need money. [10:45] Takumi     Talk about materialistic. [10:47] Misaki     Are you gonna make more big skeletons?! [10:50] Takumi     They'll call in the riot squad. [10:52] Polka     Necromancy is useful in combat,     but that isn't all it's good for. [10:58] Polka     For instance, if I make pacts with     ghosts who still have a sense of self, [11:01] Polka     I can let them possess and move objects. [11:04] Misaki     Hey, that's my mechanical pencil. [11:06] Polka     You dropped it, so I borrowed it. [11:08] Misaki     No problem! [11:09] Polka     I found a sane ghost in the basement,     so I made a pact and let it possess this. [11:16] Takumi     Whoa! SIGN    I say. I'm honored to meet acquaintances of Clarissa, the famed intermediary. [11:22] Takumi     It's way more eloquent than I expected! SIGN    My name is Hosorogi,     and I passed away here five years ago.     Heh heh heh..     I bet you could dupe a land swindler      and legally flip this building... [11:28] Misaki     Wow! [11:29] Takumi     But it's saying some shady-ass things! [11:31] Polka     Since only I can use magic,     if I start a business with magic, [11:35] Polka     I may be able to corner the market. [11:38] Polka     In fact, I've already drawn up a sign. [11:41] [SONG] Text; sign; center     THE     SHOP SIGN    We do things SIGN    Magic? No problem SIGN    Yay!! [11:43] Polka     What do you think? [11:43] [SONG] Text     THE SHOP SIGN    We     do     things SIGN    Magic?      No problem! [11:43] [SONG] Text     Yay!! [11:44] Misaki     I helped! [11:46] Takumi     You wanna live peacefully, yeah? [11:51] Takumi     I know you're really a freaky     monster who could kill me no sweat, [11:57] Takumi     but I'll say this anyway. [11:59] Takumi     Are you out of your mind? [12:01] Polka     What? SIGN    If it's money you're after, I have a better idea. SIGN    Fortunes [12:11] Polka     I can see it now. [12:14] Polka     Your profession [12:16] Polka     is related to medicine, is it not? [12:19] Saimyouji     Yeah, it is. [12:20] Polka     I sense that the flow of qi     is blocked in your left leg. [12:23] Saimyouji     Y-You're right! I broke it,     and I'm still in physical therapy. [12:28] Saimyouji     It moves on its own?! SIGN    Don't play so many video games. [12:31] Saimyouji     "Don't play so many video games"? [12:33] Saimyouji     Is there anything you don't know?! [12:38] Takumi     I can't believe you're actually raking it in. [12:40] Misaki     Amazing, right?! [12:42] Misaki     You'd never guess that sign     was all done in pencil. [12:46] Takumi     You made a hundred grand in a week. [12:49] Takumi     But really, fortune telling? SIGN    The keys to sham fortune telling are     hot reading and cold reading.     Hot reading = Passing off the results     of prior investigation as guesses.     Cold reading = Guessing a subject's thoughts      based on what they say and do.           You will need:      - A crystal ball      - Exotic costumes [12:52] Takumi     "The keys to sham fortune telling     are hot reading and cold reading"? [12:58] Takumi     Honestly, this is a great setup. [13:00] Takumi     I look up clients, using the names and     birth dates we make them write at the desk, [13:05] Takumi     and show Polka the data through     this little eyeball guy. [13:08] Takumi     And with Polka doing his thing on top of that... [13:11] Husband's Ghost     I died last month of overeating. [13:14] Polka     I see you lost someone     dear to you last month. [13:18] Lady     How did you know?! [13:22] Polka     The key to open a new door is carved on     a tombstone at the back of your garden. [13:28] Lady     A tombstone? [13:30] Lady     You mean the one for our pet,     Mii-chan, who died last year? [13:33] Lady     Could it be... the combination     to the main safe? [13:41] Takumi     ...you get fortune telling with     a 100% accuracy rate. [13:45] Takumi     Still, you writing on your own     has to look like a total gimmick. SIGN    That's just what we want.     Let them start out suspicious     and then decide it's real magic.      That will lay the groundwork for     more potent brainwashing to come.      Heh heh heh... [13:56] Takumi     Brainwashing? [14:00] Takumi     You do remember Polka wants peace, right? [14:05] Polka     This is the first money I've earned here. [14:10] Polka     Now to split it five ways. [14:12] Takumi     Why five? [14:13] Polka     For me, Misaki-chan, Takumi-kun,     the real Polka-kun, and Hosorogi-san. [14:18] Takumi     You sure are conscientious. [14:20] Misaki     Yay! [14:23] Polka     What's wrong? [14:24] Polka     Just think of it as a token of     thanks for lending me your body. [14:29] Takumi     Is he saying he doesn't want the money? [14:31] Polka     Yes. He says he didn't earn it. [14:34] Takumi     Well, the real Polka's probably     seen enough cash for a lifetime. [14:39] Takumi     Oh, right. You can't access all his memories. [14:44] Takumi     Polka Shinoyama's family is— [14:47] Takumi     Hey, what's the big idea? [14:49] Kazuki     Oh, dear, are we disturbing you? [14:53] Kazuki     Good day, everyone. [14:56] Shizuki     There he is! Polka really is here! [15:02] Kazuki     It's been half a month,     hasn't it, Uncle Polka? [15:05] Polka     What? Could it be...?! SIGN    Kazuki     Shinoyama [15:11] Polka     Kazuki and Shizuki Shinoyama, twin siblings. SIGN    Shizuki     Shinoyama SIGN    Kazuki     Shinoyama [15:16] Polka     They're this body's niece and nephew! [15:18] Polka     Oh, no! I've got to fool them! [15:23] Polka     You must be mistaken. I am the Corpse God, [15:28] Polka     a sorcerer strayed into your     world from far beyond the veil. [15:32] Shizuki     Excuse me? Who do you think you're fooling? [15:34] Shizuki     And what's with that name? [15:36] Shizuki     "Corpse God"? A god for dead bodies? [15:40] Shizuki     That's... kinda cool. [15:42] Takumi     You think so? [15:43] Kazuki     Calm down, Shizuki. [15:46] Kazuki     These peasants must have put him up to it. [15:50] Kazuki     Why else would Uncle Polka     have run away from home? [15:56] Polka     This is bad. [15:57] Polka     If they find out I'm not him inside,     there goes my peace. [16:01] Kazuki     Well, let's set that aside for now. [16:05] Kazuki     We're here as customers today. [16:09] Kazuki     Won't you show us [16:13] Kazuki     your oh-so-impressive fortune telling? [16:17] Polka     A foolish question. [16:18] Polka     All things have their proper time. [16:23] Polka     Call again later. [16:25] Misaki     We open at 10 a.m. tomorrow. [16:28] Takumi     So, why don't you leave     for today, little girl? [16:32] Kazuki     Oh? How odd. [16:34] Kazuki     I don't recall giving     you permission to speak. [16:38] Kazuki     A mere peasant presumes to argue with me? [16:42] Kazuki     And what do you propose to do if I refuse? [16:45] Takumi     Well, call the cops, for a start. [16:48] Kazuki     Huh? [16:49] Takumi     What did you expect? You barged     into a business after closing time. [16:55] Takumi     What's a poor, frightened peasant     like me to do but call the cops? [17:00] Kazuki     What nonsense. [17:02] Kazuki     Do you have any idea who we are? [17:04] Takumi     Classless nouveaux riches who look down     their noses at people they've just met? [17:09] Kazuki     I am— [17:10] Bodyguard A     Please be calm, little miss! [17:12] Bodyguard B     He's probably recording this conversation!     Maybe even streaming it. [17:17] Bodyguard B     Giving your name might be unwise. [17:21] Takumi     What now? [17:22] Takumi     Are you gonna sic your men in black     on me because you lost an argument? [17:28] Kazuki     I've had it with your— [17:29] Polka     That's enough. Thank you. [17:32] Polka     I realize you're making     yourself a target to spare me, [17:36] Polka     but this child is on the verge of tears. [17:40] Kazuki     Th-That's ridiculous! [17:47] Shizuki     Hey, Polka! What're you— [17:51] Polka     You said you wanted your fortunes read. [17:54] Polka     Don't worry. You both have a future. [17:58] Polka     I'll protect you. [18:00] Shizuki     Th-That's rich coming from you, Polka! [18:04] Polka     You're mistaken. [18:06] Polka     But I am acquainted with Polka. [18:09] Polka     And he told me that [18:12] Polka     he'll return home tomorrow. [18:16] Polka     So you should go home for today, as well. [18:20] Suzuka     Help... Help... [18:22] Polka     Yes, I understand. You have     nothing to worry about. [18:27] Suzuka     Someone, help these children. [18:33] Polka     Yes. [18:35] Polka     I'll keep these children safe. [18:40] Polka     "Evil spirit" isn't quite     the right word for her. [18:44] Polka     She seems to want to protect the twins,     but she's gone half-mad. [18:49] Takumi     And you trust a ghost like that? [18:52] Polka     I can't ignore this. [18:54] Takumi     You seem awfully soft on those kids. [18:56] Polka     Yes, well... [19:00] Polka     They remind me of some other     children who tried to act tough. [19:03] Takumi     Oh, I see. [19:05] Misaki     Hey, so, [19:07] Misaki     are you really going back to     Polka-kun's house tomorrow? [19:10] Polka     Yes. [19:11] Misaki     Where does he live? [19:13] Polka     Um, let me think. [19:15] Takumi     Here. [19:16] Polka     Huh? [19:17] Takumi     The Shinoyama Group. [19:19] Takumi     Built around Shinoyama Bank,     it has assets in the trillions. SIGN    Shinoyama Bank [19:24] Takumi     They're not the richest people out there,     but they're still loaded. [19:28] Takumi     And you, Polka, [19:30] Takumi     are the second son of their current     patriarch, Rozan Shinoyama. [19:37] Takumi     Your father, Rozan, turned 79 this year. [19:40] Takumi     And if something happened to him, [19:43] Takumi     Polka could claim a share of his inheritance. [19:47] Takumi     No wonder someone wants you dead. [19:51] Polka     But my peaceful life... [19:53] Takumi     Why's the real one look shocked, too? [19:56] Takumi     Like I said before, we don't     know who put the hit on Polka. [20:01] Takumi     But it could have been one of your relatives. [20:05] Takumi     Going home is like charging     into enemy territory. [20:09] Takumi     Are you sure about this? [20:11] Misaki     Oh, come on. Polka-kun can handle it. [20:14] Takumi     Only if he can afford to     use magic out in the open. [20:16] Polka     Oh, I had bodyguards back when I was alive. [20:20] Polka     A zombie saber-toothed tiger     and a skeleton heavy cavalry soldier. [20:24] Takumi     This is sounding less peaceful by the word. SIGN    I'm a silent bodyguard. Please don't pry. SIGN    I'm a silent bodyguard. Please don't pry. [20:30] Polka     How about this? [20:31] Takumi     Any rich guy who'd buy that     would go broke in no time. [20:35] Polka     Hmm... [20:36] Polka     Then I'll need a bodyguard who looks human. [20:39] Takumi     Who looks human... [20:40] Misaki     Ooh! [20:43] Misaki     Huh? What's up? [20:46] Shizuki     What's wrong with Polka?! [20:48] Shizuki     Who does that wimp think he is,     acting all grown up?! [20:53] Kazuki     Was that really Uncle Polka, do you think? [21:03] Kazuki     Takeru-oniisama. [21:05] Takeru     You shouldn't be out playing     so late, Kazuki, Shizuki. [21:10] Kazuki     We're terribly sorry. [21:11] Shizuki     S-Sorry. [21:13] Takeru     Now, tell me. Did Polka seem well? [21:17] Shizuki     Huh? Y-Yeah. [21:19] Kazuki     He said to expect him at home tomorrow. [21:21] Takeru     I see. That's something to look forward to. [21:25] Takeru     Although, that said,     I'll have to assign him a babysitter. [21:29] Takeru     The two of you should take care, as well. [21:32] Takeru     There could always be another accident,     like what happened to Suzuka. [23:15] Rozan     I see. So, Polka's alive and kicking. [23:19] Rozan     Still, playing magician in Shinjuku? [23:23] Rozan     He must have gotten that from you, [23:26] Rozan     Kanon. [23:30] Rozan     I suppose I can't die just yet.
