[00:02] ---
    Chirp, chirp, chirp. Chirpity-chirp.
[00:06] Gu
    Good morning!
[00:07] Gu
    Looks like you overslept again, huh?
[00:09] Gu
    Did you get enough sleep?
[00:11] Y
    Yeah.
[00:12] Y
    I'm...
[00:13] Y
    Suzuki-san, good morning.
[00:16] Y
    I...
[00:18] Gi
    Good morning, Yushi-kun!
[00:20] All
    Good morning!
[00:22] Y
    I'm really back!
[00:27] Y
    Good morning!
[00:30] Gi
    Tempura soba! And such pretty temari sushi!
[00:35] R
    And the sauce for
    the ankake soba is just perfect!
[00:40] Y
    The squid and spring vegetable
    tempura is good, too!
[00:42] Y
    It's nice and crispy!
[00:48] Gu
    Da...
[00:50] Gu
    Da...
[00:51] Gu
    Da...
[00:53] Gu
    Da?
[00:54] Gu
    Da smell of dashi broth!
[00:56] Gu
    Soba! Sushi! Japanese food!
[01:01] R
    Oh, Furuhonya-san! Welcome back.
SIGN    Sixth Haunting
    Petit Hierozoicon
[02:38] Gu
    It's so good!
[02:40] Gu
    I love it!
[02:43] R
    Furuhonya-san lives here.
[02:46] R
    He hasn't been back for a year or so, though.
[02:50] Gu
    You're the best, Ruriko-chan! The best!
[02:52] Gu
    You really are the best chef!
[02:54] Gu
    How I've missed you this past year and a half!
[02:57] Gu
    This rice, these pickled vegetables,
    they're the best!
[03:00] Gu
    But where have you been that
    you ended up like that?
[03:03] Y
    He's ready to drink already.
[03:05] Gu
    I've been journeying from
    Africa to the Middle East.
[03:07] Gu
    And all over the countryside, too.
[03:09] Gu
    There wasn't even anything
    I could stand to eat,
[03:11] Gu
    let alone Japanese food.
[03:13] Y
    Furuhonya, do you sell old books?
[03:17] Gu
    That's right.
[03:18] Gu
    I was looking for a book of
    spells called The Black Mary
[03:21] Gu
    that's a mix of early Christianity
    and African folk religion.
[03:25] Gu
    I never did find it, though.
[03:28] ---
    I see...
[03:29] Gu
    But I did find a lot of interesting stuff,
[03:32] Gu
    like the Dead Sea Scrolls,
    The Book of Adventures,
[03:34] Gu
    and The Book of the Multiverse.
[03:36] Y
    Those are all extremely
    famous magical books...
[03:41] Y
    I don't know if I believe they exist.
[03:43] Gu
    Well, they're things you could
    never get via normal methods!
[03:47] Y
    Another shady guy...
[03:52] Gu
    I do love Japanese tea.
[03:56] Gu
    So who are you?
[03:58] Y
    So late!
[03:59] Gu
    Oh, you're new here, huh?
[04:01] Gu
    Sorry, sorry.
[04:04] R
    Yushi-kun loves books, too.
[04:06] R
    I bet you'll get along, huh?
[04:08] ---
    Right...
[04:09] Gu
    Want to see?
[04:12] ---
    
[04:13] Gu
    Amazing, right?
[04:15] Gu
    For example, the Voynich manuscript.
    One of the rarest books of them all.
[04:19] Gu
    In the year 1912,
[04:21] Gu
    a bookseller named Voynich found a manuscript
    in a certain temple and copied it into this.
[04:26] Gu
    It's said that Roger Bacon wrote the
    manuscript in the 13th century,
[04:30] Gu
    but it contains drawings of sunflowers,
[04:32] Gu
    which should have only become known
    to Europe in the 15th century,
[04:36] Gu
    illustrations of sperm and ovum,
    concepts which didn't even exist yet,
[04:39] Gu
    as well as a drawing of
    the Andromeda Galaxy!
[04:43] Gu
    Well? Amazing, huh?
[04:46] R
    It's the original Venus in Furs!
[04:48] Gu
    You've got The 120 Days of Sodom, too!
[04:51] Gu
    Hey, if you're not buying,
    then put them back!
[04:54] Y
    I think there's a limit to how many
    books you can fit in a trunk.
[04:58] Y
    Is there some kind of trick to it?
[05:10] A
    That feels strange.
[05:12] A
    Did something unusual get mixed in with them?
[05:14] Y
    Strange?
[05:15] A
    It's easy for people's emotions
    to gather in books.
[05:17] A
    They're collections of words with will.
[05:20] A
    Especially magic books.
[05:22] A
    And used books are ones
     that were, well, used, so...
[05:31] A
    This is it!
[05:33] A
    What's this, Furuhonya-san?
[05:36] Gu
    Hmm, what was that again?
[05:38] Gu
    Somebody at a flea market gave
    it to me for free as a bonus.
[05:41] Gu
    It didn't feel dangerous.
[05:48] Y
    Is it an artbook of tarot cards?
[05:51] A
    The names are weird, right?
[05:53] A
    For instance, card 1 in
    tarot is the Magician, right?
[05:57] A
    This picture is the Magician,
[06:00] A
    but I can't read the name on the card.
[06:03] Y
    What is that?
[06:05] Y
    A code? Ancient script?
[06:07] Gu
    I've never seen it, either.
[06:10] A
    Furuhonya-san, this book is probably...
[06:14] A
    Sealed.
[06:16] Gu
    Sealed?
[06:17] A
    It has some power, but that power has
    been locked away so it can't be used.
[06:22] A
    That's why we can't read
    the names of the pictures.
[06:25] Gu
    So I got lucky, huh?
[06:27] Gu
    A real magic book!
[06:28] Y
    A magic book?
[06:30] Gu
    Thanks, Akine-chan.
[06:32] Gu
    I owe your sensors big time!
[06:34] Y
    What will you do with it?
[06:36] Gu
    Books like this can be tricky to handle,
[06:39] Gu
    but collectors will pay a ton for them.
[06:41] Y
    I should've figured.
[06:45] A
    Yup.
[06:47] A
    So I'll see if it's safe for you.
[06:50] A
    I'll have master take a look at it before
    I tell you if it's safe to sell.
[06:54] Gu
    What? No...
[06:55] A
    You don't want to have to deal
    with some weird power, right?
[06:58] Y
    A magic book, huh?
[06:59] Y
    So they really exist.
[07:01] A
    Okay, I'm off to work!
[07:03] Gu
    In England, parapsychology is
    a recognized field of study.
[07:07] Gu
    Not only is "magician" a real job there,
[07:10] Gu
    but it has its own status.
[07:12] Gu
    So sometimes it's actually harder
    to have things printed there,
[07:14] Gu
    and so they're brought
    to Japan or published here.
[07:17] Gu
    This book, written by a real
    man named Aleister Crowley,
[07:21] Gu
    is one example.
[07:22] Gu
    But still, there were all
    kinds of problems with it,
[07:24] Gu
    and it caused a big fuss.
[07:28] Gu
    Reimei-san, you know what I mean, right?
[07:30] Gu
    You deal with words for a living.
[07:32] R
    That's right.
[07:33] R
    Sometimes I put words down on a page and
    they turn into something different.
[07:38] Y
    Something different?
[07:40] R
    The printed word is a tricky thing.
[07:42] R
    More than images or sculptures.
[07:45] R
    For example, the Venus de Milo.
[07:48] R
    Some people say that if
    it had both its arms,
[07:51] R
    it wouldn't be as famous as it is today.
[07:55] R
    That's because your imagination can fill in
    what the missing arms might have looked like.
[08:00] R
    The printed word gives you the biggest
    opportunity to use your imagination, right?
[08:05] R
    That's where we get the word
    "kotodama," or a word of power.
[08:10] Y
    That's right.
[08:12] Y
    When I wasn't fitting
    in at my uncle's house,
[08:15] Y
    my one source of entertainment was words.
[08:18] Y
    They could take me anywhere.
[08:21] Y
    I could be anyone.
[08:24] Y
    There are probably a lot of people who see
[08:27] Y
    the demon-summoning rituals in
    this book and actually try them.
[08:32] Y
    Maybe some of them even succeed.
[08:37] gu
    That's what makes books scary.
[08:40] gu
    They become a catalyst to amplify
    humanity's latent abilities.
[08:45] Y
    Is that what Akine-chan meant by
    emotions building up in them?
[08:57] Gu
    Let's drink!
[08:58] Y
    These people...
[09:00] Y
    Well, magic books have
    nothing to do with me.
[09:12] Y
    This is paradise.
[09:14] Gu
    This apartment is the best!
[09:16] Y
    Yeah, I missed it, too.
[09:18] Y
    I was gone for six months.
[09:21] Gu
    Why did you come back?
[09:25] Y
    Because...
[09:28] Y
    I was lonely.
[09:32] Y
    No, what am I saying?
[09:39] Gu
    It's fun here, ain't it?
[09:42] Y
    Yeah!
[09:45] Gi
    Hey, what are you talking about?
[09:47] Gi
    Let me join!
[09:49] Y
    Mariko-san, this is the men's bath!
[09:52] Gi
    This one's bigger, though!
[09:56] Gu
    Mariko-chan hasn't changed a bit huh?
[09:58] Y
    That was a little too much fanservice.
[10:00] Y
    She's a ghost. She's not
    supposed to be that visible.
[10:05] Gu
    Ryu-san doesn't mind.
[10:08] R
    She's not actually physically there, though.
[10:10] gu
    That's what he said.
[10:11] Y
    Wow.
[10:13] Gu
    Okay, night!
[10:18] Y
    I'm tired.
[10:21] Y
    What a long day.
[10:25] Y
    But...
[10:27] Y
    I feel good.
[10:29] Y
    I'm going to hang out with Hase tomorrow.
[10:32] Y
    He'll be happy I came back.
[10:36] Y
    Someday, I want to invite him here.
[10:39] Y
    What will he think?
[10:41] Y
    Of course, he'll be surprised.
[10:43] Y
    But I'm sure...
[11:03] Gu
    Good evening.
[11:09] Y
    Huh?
[11:10] Y
    I thought I was asleep.
[11:18] Gu
    It's an honor to meet you, master.
[11:33] Gu
    My name is Fool.
[11:35] Gu
    It's a pleasure to meet you!
[11:37] ---
    
[11:38] Gu
    After such a long long journey,
    we have finally met a master,
[11:43] Gu
    and we are so very happy!
[11:45] Gu
    I hope this is the start of a long—
    don't go to sleep, master!
[11:48] Y
    Quiet. I'm tired.
[11:51] Y
    If you want to play, go visit someone else!
[11:54] Gu
    Wait!
[11:55] Gu
    This is the time of day
    when your channel opened!
[11:59] Gu
    Please, listen to me, master!
[12:02] Y
    Who's your master?
[12:05] Gu
    You are, Yushi-sama.
[12:11] Y
    I see.
[12:12] Y
    This is a dream, huh?
[12:14] Y
    I guess that's okay, then.
[12:16] Y
    Sure thing.
[12:18] Y
    Let's hear you out.
[12:19] Gu
    Thank you.
[12:21] Gu
    First, behold!
[12:25] Y
    This is the book of tarot card
    drawings that Furuhonya had, right?
[12:29] Gu
    Indeed!
[12:30] Gu
    This is me.
[12:33] Y
    Yeah, it does say "Fool."
[12:36] Y
    I can read the names of the cards now.
[12:39] Y
    Wh-What?
[12:41] Gu
    Congratulations!
[12:43] Gu
    The seal on the book has now
    been successfully broken.
[12:47] Gu
    You have indeed been
    recognized as our master.
[12:52] Y
    The seal was broken?
[12:54] Gu
    There is a great book of magic in
    this world called the Hierozoicon.
[12:59] Gu
    It contains 78 monsters that a great mage
[13:01] Gu
    summoned from another dimension
    and sealed within.
[13:04] Gu
    Its master can summon them
    at will and control them.
[13:09] Gu
    And this is a lesser version of it.
[13:12] Gu
    A magical book which contains 22 monsters.
[13:16] Gu
    The Petit Hierozoicon!
[13:19] Y
    The Petit Hierozoicon, huh?
[13:21] Y
    I see.
[13:23] Y
    Twenty-two means that they're modeled
    after the tarot's Major Arcana.
[13:28] Y
    So this is a parody
    in two senses of the word.
[13:30] Gu
    The creator of this book
    has left this world.
[13:34] Gu
    He sealed us away until
    our next master appeared.
[13:38] Gu
    For many years, we passed
    from one hand to the next.
[13:43] Gu
    But at last, we have found you!
[13:46] Gu
    Our new master, Inaba Yushi-sama!
[13:49] Gu
    Give us any order you like.
[13:51] Y
    Order?
[13:53] Y
    But I'm just a high school student.
[13:55] Y
    Wait, this is stupid.
[13:56] Y
    This is just a dream.
[13:58] Y
    Why take it seriously?
[14:00] Y
    Fool, you're basically
    like Ryu-san's familiars?
[14:05] Gu
    Indeed, we are similar.
[14:09] Gu
    By the way, I am Niyurius,
    or number 0, Fool.
[14:12] Gu
    Your guide to this book,
[14:13] Gu
    and the negotiator between
    you and the monsters.
[14:17] Y
    I see.
[14:18] Y
    So what I don't know I ask you, right?
[14:20] gu
    Yes, anything.
[14:22] Y
    Okay, I'll try it.
[14:25] Y
    Jin, the Magician!
[14:29] Gu
    Jin!
[14:30] Gu
    The omnipotent spirit!
    Like the genie in Aladdin's lamp!
[14:35] Y
    Aladdin?
[14:36] Y
    The one who grants any wish?
[14:43] Y
    W-Wow!
[14:45] gu
    Give him any order you like, master.
[14:48] gu
    We exist to fulfill your wishes.
[14:53] Y
    Um... um...
[14:57] Y
    Okay. Money!
[15:00] Y
    Money you can use in Japan!
[15:19] Y
    That's all?
[15:20] Gu
    We are petit, after all,
[15:22] Gu
    so Jin lacks stamina.
[15:24] Gu
    You can't use him for a while.
[15:26] Gu
    Master?
[15:28] Y
    Okay, I'll try this one next.
[15:31] Y
    High Priestess Sylph!
[15:32] Gu
    Sylph!
[15:34] Gu
    The spirit of the wind!
[15:42] Y
    I guess I'll try the Hermit next.
[15:47] Gu
    Chokmah!
[15:48] Gu
    A clan of gods of knowledge,
    who serve Minerva, the goddess of wisdom!
[15:51] Gu
    He knows all the wisdom of this world!
[15:59] Gu
    Old man, wake up!
[16:01] Gu
    We have a new master to serve!
[16:04] Gu
    Are you serving dinner now?
[16:06] Gu
    You already ate!
[16:08] Gu
    Snap out of it!
[16:09] Gu
    I'm hungry.
[16:12] Gu
    You always forget so quickly.
[16:14] Y
    S'okay, old man. Go back.
[16:19] Y
    The guy who made this was
    quite the prankster, huh?
[16:22] Gu
    Aw, you're flattering me.
[16:24] Y
    Nope.
[16:27] Y
    I guess this'll be the last one.
[16:29] Y
    The Hanged Man.
[16:30] Y
    Cait Sith.
[16:33] Gu
    Cait Sith!
[16:35] Gu
    A clan of cat kings!
[16:36] Gu
    Known for wearing boots!
[16:43] Y
    He's so unmotivated.
[16:45] Gu
    It's gonna rain tomorrow.
[16:49] Gu
    A girl will reject you tomorrow.
[16:52] Gu
    Cait Sith, how can you talk
    to our master like that?!
[16:56] Y
    Okay, it's my bedtime.
[16:56] Gu
    You can't talk like that!
[16:57] Y
    Talk to you tomorrow.
[16:59] Gu
    Understood!
[17:05] Gu
    That's creepy.
[17:07] Y
    I had the weirdest dream last night.
[17:09] Gu
    Stop it.
[17:11] Gu
    Why are you talking about dreams?
[17:13] Y
    Don't say that.
[17:14] Y
    It's a pretty neat story.
[17:17] Gu
    That stuff's boring.
[17:18] Gu
    The real world's way more interesting.
[17:21] Y
    But...
[17:24] Gu
    Idiot!
[17:26] Gu
    Screw you, jerk!
[17:28] Gu
    Come on, we placed our order!
[17:30] Gi
    B-But the fountain drinks are only available
    to customers who ordered from them...
[17:37] Gu
    Any proof we shared drinks?
[17:41] Gu
    Also, this is the non-smoking section...
[17:44] Gu
    Jeez, you find people like that everywhere.
[17:48] Gu
    This place is crap.
[17:49] Gu
    Let's leave.
[17:50] Gu
    We're customers!
[17:52] Y
    I guess we should leave, too.
[17:53] Gu
    It spoiled the meal.
[17:55] Y
    Yeah.
SIGN    Total
[17:56] Gi
    Thank you!
[17:58] Y
    Hey, Hase.
[18:00] Y
    What I was saying before...
[18:02] Gu
    Oh? Just forget that dream.
[18:04] Y
    No, not that dream.
[18:07] Y
    It's a real thing that seems like a dream.
[18:11] Y
    I went back to the apartment, right?
[18:14] Gu
    That's great.
[18:16] Gu
    You feel a lot more relaxed than before.
[18:19] Gu
    I'm sure that must be a
    place where you can relax.
[18:23] Y
    Yeah.
[18:24] Y
    That's right.
[18:26] Y
    The apartment is like a dream for me.
[18:29] Y
    So I want you to see it, too.
[18:34] Y
    Hase?
[18:38] Gu
    What are you looking at?
[18:39] Gu
    You wanna fight, kid?
[18:41] Gu
    You're in the way.
[18:42] Gu
    Move.
[18:44] Gu
    Don't tell us what to do, kid.
[18:46] Gu
    They told you at school to
    respect your superiors, right?
[18:52] Gu
    Superiors?
[18:54] Gu
    By superiors, do you mean you?
[18:56] Gu
    Of course, damn it!
[19:00] Gu
    I refuse to accept someone as an adult
    simply because they've gotten older.
[19:05] Gu
    Let's go, Inaba.
[19:07] Y
    Yeah.
[19:09] Gu
    Hey, asshole!
[19:17] Y
    Idiots.
[19:18] Y
    That's what happens when
    you pick a fight with Hase.
[19:26] Gu
    Wait, damn it!
[19:27] Gu
    You'll pay, you damn kids!
[19:29] Y
    They chased us?
[19:32] Gu
    What a pain.
[19:34] Gu
    Let's run!
[19:41] Y
    What is this place?
[19:43] Y
    A construction site?
[19:45] Gu
    A dead end, huh?
[19:48] Y
    They're here already.
[19:50] Gu
    Over there.
[19:56] Gu
    Inaba, you seal the exit.
[19:58] Y
    You're a 4th-degree black belt in aikido.
    One hit and they'll get scared, right?
[20:02] Gu
    If they've got any brains
    to get scared with, sure.
[20:05] Y
    What do you mean?
[20:07] Gu
    Even brawls have rules.
[20:09] Gu
    Usually it's over when both sides
    see how good the other is.
[20:13] Gu
    But lately, it's all people
    who've never been in a fight.
[20:18] Gu
    So they can't hold back when
    it comes to pain and fear.
[20:21] Gu
    What could have been resolved with one punch
    ends with them beating someone to death.
[20:26] Gu
    It's especially that way
    for people in gangs.
[20:28] Gu
    The word "mass hysteria" exists because nobody
    knows what people in a group might do.
[20:33] Y
    Seriously?
[20:35] Gu
    Come out, brats!
[20:39] Y
    Fine...
[20:40] Y
    Be ready.
[20:44] gu
    You seem to be in trouble.
[20:47] Y
    I sure am.
[20:50] Y
    What a pleasant afternoon, master.
[20:55] Gu
    Huh?
[20:56] Y
    Fool?
[20:57] Y
    I'm not dreaming now, am I?
[20:59] Gu
    It's no dream, master!
[21:02] Gu
    You released us from our seal last night
    and made us your servants!
[21:07] Y
    It wasn't a dream?
[21:09] Y
    And you mean I'm the master
    of all those useless spirits?
[21:13] Gu
    Useless, eh? Harsh!
[21:16] Gu
    Well, some of them can
    be rather lazy, but...
[21:18] Y
    They were totally useless.
[21:21] Y
    A blind old man? A 500 yen genie?
[21:24] Gu
    Inaba...
[21:25] Y
    Shut up! I'm busy.
[21:31] Gu
    What is that?
[21:35] Y
    Hase...
[21:36] Gu
    To be continued in the next episode!
