[00:07] Y
    At last, the day has come.
[00:10] Y
    Hase...
[00:12] H
    I'm coming to your apartment tomorrow.
[00:16] Y
    Is showing him my life here
    at the apartments really okay?
[00:21] Y
    If he...
[00:36] H
    Hey.
[00:37] Y
    Hey.
[00:39] H
    Can I leave my bike here?
[00:41] Y
    Yeah.
[00:43] Y
    Come in.
[00:44] H
    Help me with this.
[00:46] Y
    What is that?
[00:48] H
    These people have been helping you.
[00:50] H
    I couldn't come empty-handed, right?
[00:53] Y
    That's an exaggeration.
[00:56] Y
    Hase, before I introduce you to everyone,
[01:00] Y
    I have to tell you something.
SIGN    Eighth Haunting
    Bookmaster
[02:41] A
    Yushi-kun!
[02:42] Y
    Akine-san!
[02:44] A
    Is that Hase-kun?
[02:47] Y
    Yes. Hase, this is Kuga Akine-san.
[02:50] A
    Nice to meet you—
[02:53] H
    Hello. I am Hase Mizuki.
[02:56] H
    Thank you for everything you do for Inaba.
[02:58] H
    This is a token of my gratitude.
[03:01] A
    These flowers are for me?
[03:03] A
    Wow!
[03:04] H
    Yes. Also...
[03:07] H
    I can see people laughing at me
    for bringing a girl chocolates,
[03:11] H
    but Inaba told me you enjoy eating.
[03:15] H
    Here.
[03:16] A
    So pretty! So cute! Thank you, Hase-kun!
[03:19] A
    Come on in. Everyone's waiting!
[03:23] H
    Of course.
[03:23] A
    This way!
[03:24] H
    Excuse me.
[03:26] Y
    Wait, Hase!
[03:31] A
    Look, look! Hase-kun gave me these!
[03:33] R
    How pretty.
[03:35] Gu
    You look like an old Japanese singer.
[03:37] A
    What's that supposed to mean?
[03:39] R
    So that's Hase-kun?
[03:41] Y
    Y-Yes.
[03:43] H
    I am Hase Mizuki.
[03:44] H
    Thank you for all you do for Inaba.
[03:46] H
    I hope you'll continue to be kind to him!
[03:49] ---
    Oh?
[03:51] Gu
    I see.
SIGN    Hot Springs Manjuu
[03:53] Gu
    So you brought something for us, too?
[03:55] H
    Yes.
[03:56] H
    If you'd be willing to accept it.
[03:59] Gu
    Vintage wine!
[04:00] H
    I heard everyone likes alcohol...
[04:03] H
    Please have it with this.
[04:06] R
    Classy.
[04:10] Gu
    That ain't a proper present for a kid to give.
[04:13] H
    I'm sorry. This is simply who I am.
[04:16] Y
    They're actually getting along, aren't they?
[04:19] Y
    However... I guess this
    is where it gets tough.
[04:23] Y
    Okay, Hase.
[04:25] H
    Yeah.
[04:28] Y
    You may not believe me,
[04:30] Y
    but humans aren't the only inhabitants here.
[04:33] Y
    Yokai, ghosts, spirits...
[04:37] Y
    I live with creatures known as those things.
[04:40] Y
    I've met a lot of people here.
[04:42] Y
    And I've learned a lot.
[04:45] H
    And?
[04:47] H
    Aren't you letting me meet those
    who've done so much for you?
[04:53] Y
    If he won't accept them, then what will I do?
[05:07] Y
    Kuri!
[05:20] H
    I can touch them... Wow.
[05:24] H
    Ghosts are totally normal!
[05:28] H
    They really are amazing!
[05:32] Y
    Hase...
[05:45] H
    All kinds of yokai are here, huh?
[05:47] Y
    Yeah.
[05:48] Y
    They've all been great to me.
[05:51] Y
    Ruriko-san?
[05:56] H
    This is... Ruriko-san?
[05:59] Y
    Y-Yeah.
[06:02] H
    The Ruriko-san whose cooking
    you're always bragging about?
[06:07] Y
    That's right.
[06:11] H
    Ruriko-san! It's thanks to your
    meals that Inaba is healthy!
[06:15] H
    Thank you so much!
[06:18] H
    This is for you.
[06:19] H
    It's a rose hand cream I bought in Bali.
[06:22] H
    Please accept it.
[06:24] A
    Ruriko-san's blushing!
[06:27] R
    So classy.
[06:29] Gu
    He's gonna get far in life.
[06:31] H
    Ruriko-san made tea,
    so let's have these, too.
SIGN    Famous Manjuu
[06:35] H
    Why don't we have some of these?
[06:36] Y
    How much did you bring?!
[06:40] H
    I'm glad I had enough presents...
[06:42] Y
    You're amazing.
[06:44] H
    Spending time and money to make
    the right connections is my policy.
[06:51] H
    I heard about Akine-san,
    Ruriko-san, and the others, but...
[06:59] Gu
    Yay!
[07:03] Gu
    S-Sorry!
[07:10] Gu
    Thanks so much.
[07:12] H
    I'm glad the yokai like them, too.
[07:15] Y
    Huh. Guess I shouldn't have worried.
[07:18] Gu
    Is it good, chirp?
[07:19] Gu
    Let go, chirp!
[07:21] Gu
    No, you let go, chirp!
[07:23] ---
    Chirpity-chirp!
[07:24] A
    That's right, Hase-kun!
[07:26] A
    You're staying for dinner, aren't you?
[07:27] A
    Ruriko-san wanted to know if
    you'd like anything in particular.
[07:30] H
    Whatever Ruriko-san makes!
[07:34] R
    Why not just stay the night?
[07:35] H
    Of course! That was the plan!
[07:38] Y
    No one told me! Where will you sleep?
[07:41] H
    Your room, of course.
[07:43] Y
    My room has only one futon...
[07:46] H
    Then we can share.
[07:47] Y
    No! We aren't in elementary school!
[07:50] Y
    I'm not sleeping next to you!
[07:52] H
    But I am...
[07:53] Y
    I am not!
[07:54] R
    Isn't a sleep-over with a friend lots of fun?
[07:57] Gu
    Not with two guys.
[08:03] A
    As thanks, Ruriko-san put
    extra effort into this.
[08:07] H
    Thank you! I love it!
[08:09] A
    Pilchard fish balls and
    tomato soup... So good!
[08:12] H
    I don't usually like pilchard, but this is great.
[08:16] H
    Wow. It's like food you'd get at an inn.
[08:18] A
    This sea bream tempura is amazing!
[08:21] H
    It's fried without batter, isn't it?
[08:22] R
    The refreshing sweet vinegar pairs
    well with the rice! Seconds!
[08:26] Y
    Akine-san, you've had four bowls!
[08:29] R
    Isn't youth great?
[08:31] Gu
    This is better for grown-ups, though.
[08:35] Gu
    Oh, Kuri-tan, what is it?
[08:38] Gu
    You want this?
[08:41] Gu
    Kuri-tan, I don't know if you'll like it...
[08:51] Gu
    See?
SIGN    Men
[08:57] H
    A real stone bath!
[08:59] H
    Wow! It's so hot!
[09:01] Y
    You're over-excited.
    It isn't that big a deal.
[09:04] H
    Why not? Normally, you'd never get this.
[09:07] H
    You have yummy food,
    and the bath is a hot spring.
[09:10] H
    It's like a high-class inn!
[09:12] Y
    You're right.
[09:14] H
    I'm so jealous, you bastard!
[09:16] Y
    Wha?
[09:16] Y
    Hey, what are you doing, you bastard?
[09:20] H
    Now you've done it!
[09:47] ---
    Whoa...
[09:48] H
    This is...
[09:49] A
    I guess they started throwing
    a party for you, Hase-kun.
[09:54] Y
    Without him actually here?
[09:56] A
    These people will use any excuse for a party.
[10:01] Y
    Are you going to the hospital?
[10:04] A
    Yeah. Bye.
[10:06] Y
    Bye!
[10:24] H
    It's so pretty.
[10:26] Y
    Yeah.
SIGN    The Tanuki's Friends
[10:31] H
    Want to read it together?
[10:36] H
    Okay, sure.
SIGN    The Tanuki's Friends
[10:53] H
    Hey, Inaba...
[10:56] H
    Doing this, don't I look like a dad?
SIGN    The Tanuki's Friends
[10:59] Y
    What are you talking about?
[11:01] H
    Kuri's so cute.
[11:04] H
    He really is...
[11:05] H
    It doesn't matter that he's a ghost!
[11:08] Y
    Yeah.
[11:12] Gu
    W-W-W-Wait!
[11:14] Gu
    Is that vintage wine?!
[11:17] Gu
    You're back already?
[11:19] Gu
    Gimme a glass...
[11:22] Gu
    Sorry, just ran out!
[11:24] Gu
    It was good.
[11:26] Gu
    Monsters!
[11:27] Y
    Furuhonya-san...
[11:28] R
    He's amazing.
[11:30] R
    He brought three bottles.
[11:33] Gu
    Three bottles, and you
    already drank them all?
[11:35] Gu
    You yokai drunks! Drink-hogs!
[11:38] R
    That isn't very nice.
[11:42] Gu
    And who's that?
[11:44] H
    I'm Hase.
[11:45] Y
    This again?
[11:49] Gu
    Sorry, sorry.
[11:51] Gu
    You must be surprised to find your
    friend living in a place like this.
[11:54] Gu
    He's also training to be a mage.
[11:57] Gu
    But you know, being a mage
    isn't really a big deal.
[12:01] Y
    No, thank you for all you do for Inaba.
[12:05] Gu
    I'm just a carrier...
[12:08] Y
    Did you get something new?
[12:10] Gu
    Yeah.
[12:11] Gu
    I found something interesting.
    I'll show you later.
[12:17] Gu
    Thanks for the meal!
[12:18] Gu
    Okay, now that my stomach's filled...
[12:22] Gu
    Back to drinking!
[12:25] H
    Wow.
[12:26] Y
    Every day is like this here.
[12:29] H
    Seriously?
[12:30] Y
    Seriously!
[12:32] H
    Inaba, you've seen many
    things I never have, huh?
[12:37] Y
    Yeah.
[12:38] Y
    But I still have no idea what's coming next!
[12:46] R
    What could that be?
[12:48] Gu
    An earthquake?
[12:51] H
    What?
[12:54] Y
    The suitcase?
[12:55] Gu
    Oh, that's me, huh?
[12:58] Gu
    You brought something else weird?
[13:01] Gu
    Maybe...
[13:02] Gu
    Sorry. Guys, could you step back a little?
[13:15] H
    H-H-Heads?!
[13:17] Gu
    Called it.
[13:18] Gu
    They absorbed the place's spiritual
    energy and gained power.
[13:21] Y
    Wh-Why are you analyzing this so calmly?
[13:24] Y
    What do I do?
[13:25] Y
    Akine-san isn't here, and neither is Ryu-san!
[13:28] Y
    Who else can fight those things?
[13:31] Y
    Just me?
[13:32] Y
    But...
[13:38] Y
    Hase! Kuri!
[13:41] Y
    I'm the only one.
[13:43] Y
    I have to do it!
[13:49] Gu
    Okay, okay. Don't worry.
[13:51] Y
    Furuhonya-san...
[13:57] Gu
    Leave it to me.
[13:59] Gu
    There's a reason I can deal with these books.
[14:02] Gu
    Seven Sages.
[14:08] Gu
    A book? A magical book?
[14:10] Gu
    Alatreon.
[14:24] H
    It's gone?
[14:26] Y
    Furuhonya-san, what are you?
[14:29] Gu
    A master of books from every
    historical period.
[14:33] Gu
    Everything from great literary
    works to ordinary paperbacks.
[14:37] Gu
    But I specialize in the strange and unusual.
[14:42] Gu
    And people call me the "Bookmaster."
[14:45] Y
    The Bookmaster?
[14:47] Y
    A guy who runs a bookstore?
[14:48] gu
    Welcome.
[14:49] Y
    No! Like "master of magical books"!
[14:52] Y
    Magical books!
[14:54] Y
    By the way, I'm not a magical girl!
[14:54] Y
    Self-Censorship
[14:57] Gu
    No one asked.
[14:58] Y
    Do you have a magic book, too?
[15:02] Gu
    Yes, most mages have their own.
[15:06] Gu
    Those who draw power from a book,
    like you or I, are called Bookmasters.
[15:12] Gu
    We can make a contract with a book
[15:15] Gu
    and draw upon the power of
    what's on the other side.
[15:19] Y
    The other side...
[15:21] Gu
    My book, Seven Sages,
[15:24] Gu
    contains the power of seven mages.
[15:27] Gu
    And I can use that power however I like.
[15:30] Y
    Why didn't you say so earlier?
[15:34] Gu
    It's embarrassing!
[15:36] Gu
    And...
[15:37] Y
    And?
[15:38] Gu
    I'm on a whole different
    level than you, right?
[15:42] Y
    Right.
[15:43] Gu
    So this is an old book with
    a yokai sealed in it?
[15:47] R
    This place's spiritual energy
    gave it power, huh?
[15:50] Gu
    But I didn't expect the seal to break.
[15:54] Gu
    This building never fails to disappoint.
[15:55] Y
    Come on...
[15:57] Gu
    Well, it happens.
[16:00] Gu
    Make sure not to get devoured
    by any books, boy...
[16:04] Y
    Jeez!
[16:12] Y
    I really have only the one futon, okay?
[16:15] Y
    No complaints.
[16:19] Y
    Hase?
[16:20] Y
    What's wrong?
[16:24] Y
    Hey, you okay?
[16:27] H
    That scared me.
[16:29] H
    Flying severed heads... What the hell?
[16:32] H
    And they attacked us?
[16:35] Y
    Yeah, but it was fine, right?
[16:38] H
    This is all new to me!
[16:41] H
    Yokai and ghosts...
[16:43] H
    I never thought I'd cross paths
    with occult stuff like that.
[16:47] H
    And then, things like that show up.
[16:51] H
    It's terrifying...
[16:52] Y
    Hase, have you been scared the whole day?
[16:58] H
    Jeez!
[17:00] H
    Who the hell wouldn't be scared
    after seeing spirits and griffins?
[17:05] H
    I couldn't sleep a wink that night!
[17:08] H
    And now I'm in an apartment
    filled with yokai.
[17:11] H
    That could terrify even me!
[17:16] Y
    Yeah, that's normal.
[17:19] Y
    At first, I was the same way.
[17:22] Y
    Yokai and ghosts...
[17:24] Y
    They aren't so easy to accept.
[17:27] H
    Still, you know...
[17:30] H
    I was surprised to see all these new things.
[17:34] H
    But this is a good place!
[17:45] Y
    Thank you.
[17:49] H
    Sure.
[17:53] H
    Hey, let go of me already.
[17:56] ---
    Huh? Oh, sorry.
[18:01] Y
    Kuri! How long have you been there?!
[18:05] Y
    That's it, huh?
[18:13] Y
    He wants to sleep next to you.
[18:20] ---
    Hey.
[18:22] ---
    Hmm?
[18:23] H
    Sleeping like this, we feel
    like a family, huh?
[18:27] Y
    Maybe.
[18:28] H
    I'm the dad, and you're the mom.
[18:30] Y
    Shut your mouth!
[18:33] Y
    Crap, I woke up Kuri.
[18:35] H
    What a bad mommy!
[18:37] Y
    Stop that!
[18:39] Y
    Come on, don't cry...
[18:42] Gu
    Please summon Sirene, master.
[18:45] H
    You're the one from before.
[18:48] Gu
    Hello, again.
[18:50] Y
    Fool, who's Sirene?
[18:52] Gu
    A fairy who sings magical songs!
[18:56] Y
    Songs.
[18:58] Y
    I get it!
[18:59] Y
    Sirene, sing a lullaby.
[19:04] H
    Wow...
[19:19] H
    Nice job.
[19:20] Y
    Yeah, I'm glad it worked.
[19:22] Gu
    But of course...
[19:24] Gu
    Tonight, the waves we received
    from you were splendid.
[19:28] Y
    The waves?
[19:29] Gu
    Indeed.
[19:30] Gu
    Beautiful, shining waves, strong and supple!
[19:36] Gu
    Your growth makes us happy!
[19:42] H
    What's wrong?
[19:44] Y
    Nothing.
[19:46] Y
    Let's go to sleep, too.
[19:59] Y
    If I have grown, it's because...
[20:11] h
    Thanks for everything.
[20:12] Y
    No, if anything...
[20:14] Gu
    Thanks for the presents, chirp.
[20:16] Gu
    Next time, bring meat, chirp! Meat!
[20:18] Gu
    Black-haired wagyu, chirp!
[20:20] Gu
    Aren't macaroons yummy, chirp?
[20:22] Gu
    Thank you!
[20:24] Y
    We're the ones who should thank you.
[20:27] H
    Everyone, I'll be—
[20:31] H
    I'll be back...
[20:33] Y
    Yeah.
[20:39] Y
    I'd been worried for so long.
[20:41] Y
    No matter how comfy the apartment
[20:43] Y
    or how everyone supported me,
[20:45] Y
    I was so worried.
[20:48] Y
    But Hase accepted it.
[20:50] Y
    That's enough to keep me going.
[20:56] A
    You're doing way better.
[20:58] A
    You can tell, can't you?
[20:59] Y
    Yeah!
[21:00] A
    Next time, I'll have to
    make it harder, right?
[21:03] Y
    Right!
[21:04] Y
    Huh?!
[21:07] A
    Since Hase-kun left, Kuri's seemed lonely.
[21:10] A
    I guess he really liked him.
[21:12] Y
    Yeah.
[21:14] Y
    It's okay, Kuri.
[21:16] Y
    Daddy will be back soon.
[21:18] A
    Daddy?
[21:20] Y
    No, Hase... Hase said he was
    like a daddy on his day off!
[21:26] A
    Then, Yushi-kun, you're the mom, huh?
[21:29] Y
    Not you, too.
[21:32] R
    What are you talking about?
[21:33] A
    Yushi-kun just said—
[21:35] Y
    Stop! You don't really need to tell him!
[23:10] Y
    We're finally in our second year.
[23:12] Y
    What will school be like, start—
[23:15] Y
    We're in the same class now, Inaba!
[23:17] Y
    If something happens, come to me, okay?
