**[00:08] A**
Okay, that's all the training for today!
**[00:11] Y**
Thank you very much!
**[00:13] R**
Good morning.
**[00:15] R**
You've both got school this morning,
and you're training?
**[00:18] Y**
Yes!
**[00:19] Gu**
Don't know how you do it this early.
**[00:22] A**
It's natural!
**[00:23] A**
Being a mage is about putting
in daily practice.
**[00:26] A**
Doing something daily, even if
only a little, is important.
**[00:29] y**
I keep saying this, but I'm not
trying to become a mage...
**[00:33] R**
Why not?
**[00:34] R**
You could be a high school mage.
***SIGN*** The High School Mage
Yushi
**[00:38] R**
*The High School Mage, Yushi*!
**[00:40] R**
One day, our hero, Yushi Inaba,
finds a magic book,
**[00:45] R**
and battles one monster
after another at school!
**[00:49] Y**
Let's go.
**[00:50] Y**
Lend me your power, *Petit Hierozoicon*!
**[00:56] Y**
What kind of manga or light novel is that?
**[00:58] Y**
My high school is normal!
**[01:00] R**
That's right.
**[01:02] Gu**
And that's a really lazy backstory, Reimei.
**[01:06] Y**
Jeez, really...
**[01:08] Y**
That's a dream. It's impossible.
**[01:11] Gu**
Good grief, chirp, right?
***SIGN*** Ninth Haunting
New Term
**[02:49] Y**
Bye!
**[02:54] Y**
*As of today, I'm a second-year.*
**[02:56] Y**
* It's the first time I've been back at school*
* since returning to the apartment.*
**[03:06] Y**
*Was I like that last year?*
**[03:10] Gu**
Master, you're going to
school now, aren't you?
**[03:14] Y**
That's right.
**[03:16] Y**
Fool? Stay in my pocket!
**[03:19] Gu**
I'm sorry.
**[03:23] Gu**
Our job is to protect you, master.
**[03:27] Gu**
I shall always be with you.
**[03:30] Y**
*I left this thing at home.*
**[03:32] Gu**
I said "always"...
**[03:34] Y**
I know!
**[03:36] Y**
Be sure not to come out around others!
**[03:38] Gu**
Of course.
**[03:40] Gu**
Mommy, he's talking to a doll.
**[03:44] Gi**
Don't look at him!
***SIGN*** Joutou Business High School
**[03:52] Y**
Jeez, what a way to start the day...
**[03:56] T**
Hey! Good morning!
**[04:00] Y**
Tashiro!
**[04:02] T**
This year, we're in the same class!
**[04:04] T**
Glad to be with you, Inaba.
**[04:05] Gi**
Same club and same class.
**[04:08] Gi**
Must be fate, huh?
**[04:10] T**
That's right.
**[04:11] T**
The way you saved me, I really
do feel like it's fate!
**[04:14] Gi**
Jeez, you two. If you're going
to say that, you mean destiny.
**[04:18] ---**
Whoops, I got it wrong!
**[04:21] Gi**
Hey, Inaba, did you lose weight?
**[04:23] Gi**
You seem more trim, somehow...
**[04:26] Y**
D-Do I?
**[04:28] Gi**
Jeez, Ta-ko, the way you're
moving your hands is dirty.
**[04:32] T**
Oh?
**[04:33] Gi**
How closely are you looking at him?
**[04:37] Y**
*Girls are so...*
**[04:39] F**
Way to go, master.
**[04:41] F**
They all love you.
**[04:43] Y**
No! And you stay in there!
**[04:51] Y**
*And the new year began.*
**[04:55] Gu**
And so, this relative pronoun goes here...
**[05:00] Gu**
And this is what happens.
**[05:02] Y**
* I guess the only difference was that*
* there was a new English teacher.*
**[05:09] Y**
*Katsumasa Miura.*
**[05:10] Y**
*He's probably still in his 20s.*
**[05:12] Y**
* He's only been a teacher*
* for three or four years.*
**[05:16] Y**
* His teaching style is clear, and I guess*
* he seems serious or smart, but...*
**[05:25] Gu**
That's all for today.
**[05:29] gi**
Sensei, there was a part in that
last example I didn't get.
**[05:33] Gu**
Next class, I'll cover it in detail.
**[05:37] Gi**
R-Right...
**[05:40] Y**
*But he's a little hard to get to know.*
**[05:44] Gi**
I heard when Miura was in college,
he did plays and stuff.
**[05:49] Y**
Plays?
**[05:51] Y**
Underground stuff?
**[05:52] Gi**
No. He got lead roles in
Shakespeare plays and stuff.
**[05:57] Gi**
Surprising, huh?
**[05:58] Y**
*Where did she even learn that?*
**[06:01] Gi**
But Shakespeare is really classic
and straightforward, right?
**[06:05] Gi**
He doesn't seem like the kind of guy
who'd do something so showy...
**[06:09] Gi**
That's right.
**[06:11] Gi**
All his classes follow the book,
without deviation.
**[06:13] Gi**
And they're totally boring.
**[06:15] T**
Right?
**[06:16] T**
So I figured it out...
**[06:19] T**
Something happened at his old school.
**[06:26] T**
What? Oh, jeez...
**[06:33] Y**
*I don't know what could've happened.*
**[06:36] Y**
* But seeing how dark he looks,*
* I can believe it.*
**[06:43] Y**
*Miura!*
**[06:50] Y**
*What's he doing?*
**[06:55] Y**
*Practice has started.*
**[06:57] Y**
*Is he watching them?*
**[07:08] Y**
What?
**[07:09] Y**
I felt really angry.
**[07:12] Y**
Those eyes, like a dead fish...
I've never noticed them before.
**[07:16] Y**
I could see myself punching him, someday.
**[07:19] Y**
No, no...
**[07:21] Y**
Miura isn't even my homeroom teacher,
**[07:23] Y**
and he has nothing to do with the club.
**[07:25] Y**
I'll just stay away from him.
**[07:31] F**
Master, who was that?
**[07:39] Y**
*And so, I went back to my daily life.*
***SIGN*** Welcome New Members!
**[07:42] Y**
* The spring of my second*
* year passed peacefully.*
**[07:47] Y**
*And then, Golden Week came.*
**[07:50] Y**
I'm so tired...
**[07:58] Gu**
Good work on your training!
**[08:00] Gu**
Want some cold water?
**[08:01] Y**
Stop slacking off!
**[08:04] Gu**
Who cares if I do?
**[08:07] y**
*On his days off,*
**[08:08] y**
* Hase began spending all his*
* time at the Yokai Apartments.*
**[08:11] H**
I can't help it... This place is comfy.
**[08:15] H**
The food is good, and the bath feels great.
**[08:18] H**
And Kuri's here.
**[08:19] H**
Right, Kuri?
**[08:22] Y**
He's feeling more and more like a dad.
**[08:25] Gu**
There, there.
**[08:27] H**
And look at this yard...
**[08:29] H**
The flowers are blooming out of season.
**[08:32] H**
It kind of purifies the heart—
**[08:37] H**
That... isn't a flower.
**[08:42] H**
Wow! It isn't a flower!
**[08:45] Y**
That's the Yokai Apartments for you!
**[08:54] H**
What's wrong?
**[08:56] Y**
C-Could it be...
**[09:01] Y**
Ryu-san!
**[09:03] R**
It's been a long time.
**[09:05] R**
No, I should say, "Welcome home."
**[09:07] R**
Glad to have you back, Yushi-kun.
**[09:10] Y**
Thanks!
**[09:12] R**
Your aura's changed, Yushi-kun.
**[09:14] R**
I heard that you befriended a magic book.
**[09:17] Y**
Th-That's right! I'll go get it!
**[09:22] Y**
This is my best friend, Hase Mizuki!
**[09:30] H**
Um... sorry.
**[09:33] R**
Not at all.
**[09:43] R**
This has some amazing stuff in it.
**[09:45] Y**
You can tell?
**[09:46] R**
I can get a mental image.
**[09:50] Y**
Wow...
**[09:51] R**
But I'm glad it isn't the real *Hierozoicon*.
**[09:56] Y**
*That's same thing Akine-chan said.*
**[10:01] R**
It was sudden, so I can see
why you'd be surprised.
**[10:04] R**
But it's nothing to worry about.
**[10:06] Y**
Furuhonya-san said the same thing.
**[10:09] Y**
But it feels like I can believe
it more when you say it...
**[10:13] R**
Does it?
**[10:15] Y**
I mean, if you're both mages,
**[10:17] Y**
I'd rather have learned it from you!
**[10:24] Gu**
I'm sorry you don't like me!
**[10:29] Gu**
You think you're in a position to be picky?
**[10:33] Gu**
Huh? Huh? Huh?
**[10:33] Y**
Sorry! Sorry!
**[10:36] Gu**
Hey, welcome back.
**[10:37] R**
Hello, Furuhonya-san.
**[10:39] R**
How many years has it been?
**[10:41] Gu**
Hey, is Ryu back?
***SIGN*** Maou
**[10:44] Gu**
We'll have a party tonight to celebrate!
**[10:53] H**
Ryu-san's a cool guy, huh?
**[10:56] Y**
Right?
**[10:57] H**
It isn't just his appearance...
**[10:59] H**
It's like there's something inside him.
**[11:01] H**
Like he's standing really firm.
**[11:04] y**
*And you're amazing for understanding that.*
**[11:10] F**
I was so nervous, feeling that
immense spiritual pressure!
**[11:14] Y**
Fool? You get nervous?
**[11:18] F**
Yes.
**[11:19] F**
Even in the modern era, amazing mages
still exist out there, don't they?
**[11:29] Y**
That's Ryu-san for you!
**[11:32] Gu**
Sorry that I'm not the one for you...
**[11:39] Y**
Ow!
**[11:58] R**
This place is always wonderful.
**[12:02] h**
Ryu-san, is that a sword wound?
**[12:07] R**
Yes, that's right.
**[12:09] GU**
Yakuza are busy folks.
**[12:12] Y**
Yakuza?
**[12:14] Gu**
Sometimes, spiritualists help solve crimes.
**[12:20] R**
Ryu-san occasionally does.
**[12:23] Gu**
I think it was a desert in
the American Midwest...
**[12:28] Gu**
There was a cult that sacrificed people.
**[12:33] Gu**
They burned them alive, and then
the faithful would eat them!
**[12:38] R**
No, no...
**[12:40] R**
Broke them into bits and swallowed them.
**[12:41] R**
That isn't much better.
**[12:44] gu**
Anyway, Ryu-san went in with
the state police to stop them.
**[12:51] H**
Wow!
**[12:52] y**
And?
**[12:53] Gu**
A gunfight started.
**[12:57] Gu**
The original goal was to arrest the leaders
**[13:01] Gu**
and break up the group, but...
**[13:05] Gu**
Boom!
**[13:06] Gu**
In the end, the cultists
blew up the building,
**[13:10] Gu**
and everyone died.
**[13:12] R**
That didn't go as I'd hoped...
**[13:15] R**
But I did save the hostages.
**[13:19] Y**
*Is laughing at that okay?*
**[13:22] R**
Well, they had planned a mass
suicide to begin with.
**[13:27] Gu**
Some people just can't be saved.
**[13:34] Gu**
Ryu-san's a bit clumsy.
**[13:37] Gu**
So he always gets covered in wounds.
**[13:39] R**
What about you, Furuhonya-san?
**[13:43] R**
Who was it that failed to recover a secret
text from a group of Peruvian bandits,
**[13:47] R**
and was then shot with a machine gun?
**[13:51] gu**
I only got hit twice!
**[13:54] R**
Makes a painter's wounds from
brawls feel like nothing, huh?
**[13:57] R**
That's right.
**[13:59] R**
A scar from a yakuza's broken bottle
isn't anything I can boast about.
**[14:03] Y**
No, no, no.
**[14:05] Gu**
And Reimei-san was almost killed
by a fan who was stalking him.
**[14:10] R**
She was a very passionate girl.
**[14:12] Gu**
Reimei-san, die with me!
**[14:15] H**
Lucky it was a hardcover, huh?
**[14:19] R**
Sheesh, that's right!
**[14:26] Y**
Amazing...
**[14:28] Y**
All those unbelievable experiences,
and they're laughing about them.
**[14:33] H**
Really, they are amazing.
**[14:37] Y**
Hase?
**[14:39] H**
All the people who used to hang around me
**[14:43] H**
were shallow suck-ups.
**[14:47] H**
They were just old.
**[14:50] H**
They weren't real adults.
**[14:53] H**
But everyone here is a real adult.
**[14:57] Y**
Right?
**[14:59] Y**
They're a little... no, very strange.
**[15:03] Y**
But they all live their lives
on their own terms.
**[15:06] Y**
They're real adults.
**[15:09] Y**
I think we kids really need
**[15:12] Y**
mentors and teachers like them.
**[15:19] H**
Huh?
**[15:20] H**
What? An earthquake?
**[15:23] H**
Are they working on the road?
**[15:25] H**
What's wrong?
**[15:34] Gu**
What? A new guy?
**[15:36] Gu**
Anyone from the apartment?
**[15:38] ---**
Chirpity-chirp! Chirp!
**[15:40] Gu**
Oh, it's Matajuro!
**[15:42] Gu**
Welcome back, chirp.
**[15:43] Gu**
Your face is as big as ever, chirp?
**[15:46] Gu**
But it's not only his face that's big, chirp!
**[15:49] Gu**
Matajuro!
**[15:50] Y**
M-Matajuro?
**[15:52] R**
Hey, it's been a while, Matajuro-san.
**[15:56] Gu**
Oh, you are here!
**[16:01] Gu**
I've brought delicious boar meat!
**[16:04] R**
It's huge!
**[16:06] Gu**
Looks yummy.
**[16:08] Gu**
There was a hunting match in Shirakami.
**[16:11] Gu**
And I won!
**[16:13] Gu**
Wow!
**[16:15] Gu**
This is for the tengu in Kurama.
**[16:20] Gu**
You get this.
**[16:22] Gu**
It's yummy 'cause it's on
the verge of rotting!
**[16:26] Y**
So tengu are real. I guess that figures.
**[16:29] H**
Well, yokai are.
**[16:31] Gu**
How have you been, kid?
**[16:36] Gu**
Matajuro-san lives in a hidden village
in the Kumano mountains.
**[16:40] H**
A hidden village?
**[16:42] Gu**
Places with lots of mountains,
like Kumano, Hida, and Shirakami,
**[16:46] Gu**
have what are called "hidden villages."
**[16:49] Gu**
They're just slightly out of phase with us,
**[16:52] Gu**
or they have barriers,
**[16:54] Gu**
so normal people can't enter.
**[16:59] Gu**
But you know,
**[17:00] Gu**
humans and those with different powers,
**[17:04] Gu**
used to live in the same places.
**[17:08] Y**
It's what you said before,
**[17:10] Y**
that mysteries are always with us.
**[17:13] R**
Indeed.
**[17:14] R**
But when the humans' numbers grew,
**[17:17] R**
they began to despise those who had
different appearances and powers.
**[17:23] R**
They drove them away,
**[17:25] R**
and humans eventually forgot them.
**[17:34] Y**
Why do we change like that?
**[17:38] Gu**
Don't worry about it, kid.
**[17:41] Gu**
The people living in the
mountains know the deal.
**[17:45] Gu**
They're surprised to see us,
but they don't make a big fuss.
**[17:49] Gu**
Sometimes, they even give us smokes.
**[17:52] Gu**
See?
**[17:58] Gu**
Thanks, Ruriko.
**[18:00] Gu**
When I go into town, this is
what I look forward to!
**[18:07] ---**
Delicious!
**[18:09] Gu**
Snacks are best when humans make them.
**[18:13] Gu**
When I go to Kurama, I want to bring
back lots of yummy Kyoto sweets!
**[18:19] H**
You like sweets, Matajuro-san?
**[18:21] Gu**
Yes, when you give kids candy,
they listen to what you say.
**[18:28] H**
In our world, guys like him
are disappearing, right?
**[18:32] R**
Yeah.
**[18:39] Gu**
We should be able to eat soon, huh?
**[18:42] Gu**
It looks good!
**[18:43] Gu**
Ruriko-san made snacks!
**[18:46] Gu**
Fresh tuna sashimi!
**[18:48] R**
And fresh fried ginger, too!
**[18:52] Gu**
Sashimi!
**[18:53] R**
Thank you, Ruriko-san!
**[19:04] A**
It's so good!
**[19:06] K**
Tuna's good with tea and
rice and pickles, too.
**[19:10] Gu**
Okay, let's drink!
**[19:13] Gu**
This is so much fun!
**[19:19] H**
This looks really weird.
**[19:22] H**
But Matajuro-san, who lives alongside
mysteries and nature,
**[19:26] H**
and the people here
**[19:28] H**
are probably better off than we are, right?
**[19:34] H**
Ryu-san?
**[19:35] R**
In the end, it's a problem of the heart.
**[19:38] R**
People change.
**[19:40] R**
Believe in that,
**[19:41] R**
and begin by accepting your
current way of life.
**[19:46] Y**
Right!
**[19:49] Y**
* It's true that we can't return*
* to the life we once had.*
**[19:54] Y**
*But can we have a life that combines*
**[19:58] Y**
*both of these worlds?*
**[20:04] H**
The world's a big place, huh?
**[20:07] Y**
Right?
**[20:08] H**
When I come here, I really understand.
**[20:11] H**
I thought I was thinking about my future.
**[20:15] H**
But I was only looking with a
very short field of vision...
**[20:21] H**
But it's okay to think more
and be uncertain, right?
**[20:26] Y**
Yeah.
**[20:28] Y**
*We still have time.*
**[20:33] H**
By the way, Inaba, is school going well?
**[20:37] Y**
Where's this coming from?
**[20:39] H**
I thought you might have started being
numb to things at the apartments.
**[20:44] H**
The Petit thing even scared me, after all.
**[20:47] Y**
I know that.
**[20:49] H**
Also...
**[20:53] H**
Don't get involved in any weird stuff.
**[20:57] Y**
Hase...
**[21:00] F**
"Weird"?! You don't mean me, do you?
**[21:04] F**
If so, I have no choice but to be upset...
**[21:07] F**
Hase-sama! Master!
**[21:13] F**
Kuri!
**[21:15] F**
Do something, Fool!
**[21:16] Y**
I'm not done talking yet, master!
**[21:27] T**
I'm telling you... There are ghosts!
**[23:10] T**
There are scary stories everywhere, right?
**[23:13] T**
The sound of a piano from an empty music room
**[23:15] T**
or you wake up at night, unable to move!
**[23:18] T**
Do you know any scary stories, Akine-san?
**[23:20] T**
Yes... A bowl of delicious
rice suddenly vanishing!
**[23:25] T**
That always happens.
**[23:27] T**
