Kurayukaba & Kuramerukagari
Two tales intertwine. In Kurayukaba, a town enshrouded in purple smoke is plagued by mass disappearances. When Detective Soutarou plunges into its underground realm to investigate, he meets a cryptic train conductor. Meanwhile, in Kuramerukagari, a young cartographer named Kagari must unearth the secrets of her maze-like town to save its citizens from mysterious sinkholes.

Follow the line of lanterns
as this child did, and share her fate.

the story of the strange rumor

Hello and welcome to
Ootsuji Detective Agency...
[00:56] Soutaro
We are a detective agency,
and not a school or orphanage.
[01:00] Saki
Screw you.
[01:02] Saki
Where's Old Man Manabe, Detective?
[01:04] Soutaro
Ain't found him yet.
[01:07] Saki
Where are you paying me
for the info I gave you?
[01:09] Saki
I spent a whole month on this.
[01:11] Soutarou
Don't blame me, Osaki-san.
[01:14] Soutarou
They haven't paid me yet.
[01:16] Saki
You sure you're a real detective?
[01:18] Soutarou
I'm sure I'm a real detective.
[01:21] Saki
And you let your customer disappear
on you? Aren't you embarrassed?
[01:25] Soutarou
I am, actually.
[01:28] Saki
Why didn't you demand payment up front?
[01:30] Soutarou
"I'll pay you anything you want."
[01:33] Soutarou
"Anything?"
SIGN MANABE
[01:34] Soutarou
"I'm afraid that Chiko, I mean, that
parrot, is the only family I've got left.
[01:39] Soutarou
I'd like you to find it for me"
[01:42] Soutarou
"Just leave it to me."
[01:44] Soutarou
And he's been missing ever since then.
[01:45] Soutarou
No sign of a crime, either, right?
[01:48] Chiko
Right?
[01:50] Saki
I don't give a damn. Pay me, now.
[01:53] Soutarou
Give it up. I can't pay you
what I don't have.
[01:57] Chicken Wing Seller
Come try Arinoya's famous chicken wings!
Located right in front of Ougi-chou station.
[02:03] Chicken Wing Seller
Tasty and pleasing to the eye, too!
[02:06] Shiro
It's festival season!
[02:09] Aka
What sort of stalls are
we going to see this year?
[02:11] Shiro
After what happened, there don't
seem to be any meat bun sellers.
[02:16] Aka
Oh, where they mixed in something
that shouldn't have been there.
[02:18] Soutarou
I'm so hungry...
[02:19] Aka
I hope nothing that scary
ever happens again...
SIGN CIRCUS
[02:31] Zaka
Hey, Soutarou. I've been looking for you.
[02:34] Soutarou
Zaka-san... if this is about my tab from
the other day, I need a little more time.
[02:37] Inarizaka
No, I've got a way for you
to make some quick cash.
[02:39] Inarizaka
You sure look down.
[02:41] Soutarou
The rest of the city's just
a bit too cheerful for me.
[02:46] Zaka
The circus is in town?
It's that time of year already?
[02:55] Soutarou
A mass disappearance?
[02:57] Zaka
Yup. A whole city tram's worth
of passengers disappeared.
[03:01] Zaka
And it's happened more than once.
[03:03] Zaka
A bunch of women by a tenement house well.
A cafeteria at a construction site. A school.
[03:07] Zaka
Everyone in the area just disappears...
[03:09] Staff
Here you go, tamagoyaki.
[03:10] Soutarou
I'll take another beer.
[03:11] Soutarou
Sure.
[03:11] Soutarou
I know I shouldn't say this
since you're picking up the tab,
[03:15] Soutarou
but I don't buy rumors like that.
[03:16] Soutarou
If any of it was true, the big papers and
the radio would be all over it.
[03:19] Zaka
Yup. Which means someone's
keeping it out of the news.
[03:21] Zaka
Between you and me,
I think the Dark is involved.
[03:25] Soutarou
The Dark?
[03:26] Staff
Here's your beer, mister.
[03:28] Zaka
Something big's going down, I'm sure of it.
[03:30] Zaka
And my editors want stories like these.
[03:33] Staff
Mister...
[03:33] Soutarou
Oh, that's enough.
[03:35] Soutarou
So you want me to go into the Dark
and find out what's going on?
[03:37] Zaka
Yup. I'll make it worth your time.
[03:39] Zaka
You want in?
[03:40] Zaka
You won't get another chance like this
for twenty years at least!
[03:42] Soutarou
I'm not interested in signing
my own death warrant.
[03:44] Soutarou
That place is filled to the brim
with thugs and homeless.
[03:47] Zaka
Hear me out, at least.
[03:48] Zaka
It's more than just rumors.
[03:50] Zaka
These are just the missing persons
I've managed to verify on my own.
[03:57] Zaka
Men and women, kids and grandparents...
They seem to have nothing in common.
[04:01] Zaka
But beneath the spot where they disappeared,
you'll find these strange tracks...
[04:06] Soutarou
Tracks? From what?
[04:07] Zaka
Dunno. They disappear when
you try to follow them.
[04:10] Zaka
I got nowhere.
[04:12] Soutarou
Thus, the Dark?
[04:15] Soutarou
The cops are powerless there.
[04:17] Zaka
Yup. And if you manage to
find any of the missing...
[04:20] Soutarou
I'm still thinking this is a bunch of crap.
[04:24] Zaka
Not at all.
[04:25] Zaka
I've already got a starting point.
The ones behind it are...
[04:30] Saki
And he says these whatever-men
are behind it all, maybe?
[04:33] Soutarou
Yup. You want in?
[04:35] Soutarou
You won't get another chance like this
for another thirty years at least!
[04:40] Soutarou
Anyway, I need evidence tying them to this!
[04:42] Soutarou
I'll give you five big ones.
Go into the Dark for me!
[04:46] Soutarou
It'll be easy for you, right?
[04:48] Soutarou
If we're lucky you'll find Manabe, too.
[04:50] Chiko
Manabe! Manabe! Manabe!
[04:53] Saki
Why don't you go on your own?
[04:56] Soutarou
Me? Well, I...
[04:58] Saki
You ever been into the Dark?
[05:00] Soutarou
If I did, it was when I was a kid.
[05:02] Soutarou
I don't remember.
[05:04] Soutarou
Oh! Um, uh...
[05:05] Soutarou
Little brats like you,
I mean, kids like you,
[05:07] Soutarou
can get around better in dark,
cramped spaces than grown-ups, right?
[05:11] Saki
I see.
[05:14] Saki
I've heard the Dark is scary.
[05:17] Saki
But I've never heard from anybody
who's seen it from themselves.
[05:20] Saki
A buddy of mine fled there
after they stole something,
[05:23] Saki
but I never heard from them again.
[05:25] Soutarou
Whatcha writing?
[05:27] Soutarou
My will.
[05:27] Chiko
Will! Will!
[05:28] Chiko

I'm going after some kidnapper
down in the Dark, right?
[05:46] Saki
We'll find out if I'm exaggerating or not.
[05:49] Saki
Anyway, see you later!
[05:50] Soutarou
Don't work too hard! And don't
let them kidnap you, either!

Yes. I think it's the Laughing Masks.
[06:02] Soutarou
The Laughing Masks?
[06:07] Zaka
An underground gang that
runs things around Jouhoku.
[06:10] Soutarou
And why are they doing something that's
sure to bring the cops down on them?
[06:14] Zaka
That's the thing. The guys down in the Dark
normally try not to attract attention.
[06:19] Zaka
But lately, I've heard people talk
about the nasty stuff these guys do.
[06:21] Zaka
Maybe they've grown too big, or...
[06:23] Soutarou
Then I really don't want to get involved.
[06:25] Soutarou
Sounds like a nice way to get killed.
[06:27] Zaka
Let me be serious for a moment.
[06:29] Zaka
Are you going to keep
wasting your life forever?
[06:36] Zaka
You're disappointing your father,
rotting away like you are.
[06:42] Soutarou
My dad's got nothing to do with this.
[06:49] Zaka
Culverts, lignite mine shafts,
unfinished subway lines.
[06:53] Zaka
An underground world dug out
without any kind of plan.
[06:55] Fortune-Teller
No one person has ever seen the whole thing.
[06:58] Fortune-Teller
An infinite darkness, going on forever...
[07:00] Fortune-Teller
Kind of like life, I suppose.
SIGN SAKURA ALLEY

of them down there beneath your feet.
[07:14] Chicken Wing Seller
Like moles or termites...
[07:16] Chicken Wing Seller
How frightening!
[07:18] Zaki
Yes, a massive underground labyrinth.
A huge, terrifying termite's nest.
[07:23] Zaki
That's where you should start, I think.

Yeah, there was a weird kid that came by.
[07:47] Watch-seller
Yeah, with a hat like that. Definitely.
[07:49] Watch-seller
They went that way, I think.
[07:57] Watch-seller
I told them it was too
dangerous, you know, but...
[08:10] Watch-seller
It's a ways from here... and it's not
the kind of place you go for fun.
[08:27] Watch-seller

[08:46] Watch-seller
But I'd rather not go myself.

[11:03] Tanne
I don't want to waste time talking to them.
[11:04] Tanne

was kidnapped by those guys.
[11:28] Soutarou
I'd like you to save them.
[11:30] Tanne
Sorry, that's outside our jurisdiction.
[11:33] Soutarou
What?
[11:34] Tanne
I will hang onto this, though.
[11:37] Tanne

[11:38] Soutarou
Listen, I know why you're here.
[11:40] Soutarou
It's the Laughing Masks, right?

[11:43] Soutarou
That's why you're after them?
[11:45] Soutarou
I was right!
[11:46] Soutarou

disappearances, by the way?

[15:41] Zaka
There might be, but I can't find any.
[15:44] Soutarou
Or where those photos of the ones
who disappeared came from?
[15:48] Zaka
They passed through a lot of hands.
[15:50] Zaka
The informants have their
code of silence, too...
[15:53] Soutarou
And these. What do the people
nearby think these came from?
[15:57] Zaka
The people who made them wore outfits
that looked similar to the Gyobutsu'in's.

You know, the guys in charge of all
the national museums and burial mounds.
[16:05] Soutarou
Yup.
[16:06] Soutarou
Does that mean these tracks are
a work of art or an old ruin, though?
[16:09] Zaka
No.
[16:11] Soutarou
Let the darkness draw you in, huh? Stupid.
[16:16] Soutarou
I saw the Laughing Masks. They looked
like a bunch of low-level street thugs.
[16:20] Soutarou
There wasn't anything smaller?
[16:22] Zaka
That's the latest model.
Don't ask for what doesn't exist.

You see, Saki's kidnapping
doesn't make sense.
[16:32] Soutarou
I didn't see any tracks. And they even
made a ransom demand for her.
[16:36] Soutarou
To a broke-ass detective like me.
[16:38] Zaka
Don't call yourself that.
[16:40] Soutarou
This is way different than
what happened with Manabe.
[16:43] Zaka
Manabe?

[16:46] Soutarou
Yup. I actually know one
of the guys in those photos.
[16:50] Zaka
W-What?!
[16:51] Soutarou
He's a rich old guy.
[16:53] Soutarou
If they wanted money, they'd
be ransoming him, right?
[16:58] Zaka
I know I'm the one who told you about this,
but isn't it time to give it up?

[18:40] Watch-seller
The air was getting bad down there.
[18:42] Watch-seller
So I moved the shop.
[18:45] Watch-seller
There. All fixed.
[18:47] Watch-seller
So? Are you still following
the Laughing Masks?
[18:49] Soutarou
Huh? Oh, yeah.
[18:51] Watch-seller
Well, don't.
[18:52] Watch-seller
They're in a bad mood right now.
[18:54] Watch-seller
Don't throw your life away.
[18:56] Soutarou
Well, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
[19:00] Soutarou
Now then, time to take a walk
around my gang's territory.
[19:16] Soutarou
Huh?
[19:24] Soutarou
The Railway Ministry has jurisdiction here?
And it's a cargo track?
[19:32] Soutarou
Hold it, hold it. I'm not going to hurt you.
[19:35] Repairman
I thought you all went back to your HQ.
[19:37] Soutarou
HQ?
[19:38] Soutarou
Oh, yeah. Guess some wires got crossed.
[19:41] Soutarou
I came from HQ, actually.
[19:43] Repairman
Wait, have we met?
[19:46] Soutarou
I've never been here before.
[19:48] Soutarou
Yeah, if you could show me around...
[19:50] Repairman
Be quiet!
[20:01] Soutarou
The police...
[20:03] Repairman
They've been like that
ever since the incident.
[20:06] Repairman
This place is finished.
[20:09] Soutarou
Sorry about that. I'll tell the bosses.
[20:12] Repairman
I'm sure we've met somewhere...
[20:14] Soutarou
Where are you headed next?
[20:16] Soutarou
I might be able to help you out...
[20:18] Repairman
Another Quarter, I guess.
[20:21] Repairman
Somewhere deeper.
[20:23] Soutarou
Deeper?
[20:25] Soutarou
Oh, right. What happened to Demon 463?
[20:29] Cop
Hey, what are you doing there?
[20:33] Cop
I-It's one of the Laughing Masks!
[20:35] Soutarou
Wait, you've got it all wrong!
[20:37] Cop
Halt! You're under arrest!
[20:42] Cop
Halt, damn it!
[20:44] Soutarou
How many of them are there?
[20:46] Cop
Halt, I said!
[20:55] Cop
Idiot! He's the Laughing Mask!
[20:57] Driver
Full speed in reverse!
[21:10] Soutarou
Give it up already!
[21:11] Repairman
A side tunnel! Let's jump in there!
[21:17] Repairman
Let's split up! I'll go right!
[21:24] Soutarou
You tricked me!
[21:25] Cop
Stop right there!
[21:29] Hayatora
Hey, this way.
[21:30] Hayatora
Down! Down!
[21:36] Hayatora
You were told not to go to Kobashita.
[21:41] Soutarou
I actually just joined the gang, and
I haven't had time to learn the ropes.
[21:46] Hayatora
I get that they want to grow the gang,
[21:48] Hayatora
but I don't have time to
learn all the new guys' faces.
[21:50] Hayatora
Hey!
[21:51] Masked Man
Oh, Boss!
[21:55] Masked Man
All right, I'll head out.
[21:56] Hayatora
Thanks. I'll catch up.
[21:59] Soutarou
A lignite tunnel?
[22:02] Hayatora
Hey, you there.
[22:04] Soutarou
M-My name's S-S-Souhachi.
[22:06] Hayatora
Okay, Souhachi. Are you
the last one in the area?
[22:09] Soutarou
Yeah, I sure ain't seen anybody else.
[22:15] Hayatora
Okay, losers.
[22:17] Hayatora
We're heading to HQ. Rest while you can.
[22:41] Hayatora
You...
[22:48] Hayatora
It wasn't loaded.
[22:51] Hayatora
You don't look tough,
but you've got the moves.
[22:53] Hayatora
I guess that toy'll do for tonight.
[22:56] Soutarou
W-What happens tonight?
[22:58] Hayatora
You saw Kobashita, right?
[23:00] Hayatora
I heard they're going after HQ, too.
[23:03] Hayatora
We're going to help.
[23:05] Hayatora
You can just watch, new kid.
[23:08] Soutarou
T-Thanks.

We've arrived at the Water Quarter.
[24:50] Hayatora
You not awake yet or something?

W-Water Quarter?

Yup!

They're currently at Harusame!
[25:05] Masked Man
What? They're inside already!
[25:07] Masked Man
Hey! Pick up the pace!
[25:18] Masked Man
Time to meet the catfish.
[25:26] Soutarou
The Demon 463...
[25:37] Soutarou
Out of the way! This ain't a show!
[25:41] Soutarou
Okay, get us off the rails.
[26:17] Soutarou
Good men and women of the 463!
[26:21] Soutarou
Glad you came. It means we
don't have to go looking for you.
[26:24] Soutarou
I ain't forgotten what you did at Kobata.
[26:27] Tanne
I'm sorry. I don't think we've met...
[26:31] Tanne
Or rather, I can't tell any of you apart.
[26:35] Tanne
My apologies.
[26:36] Tanne
Ahem, we are...
[26:39] Hayatora
If you're just going to say
the usual pleasantries, then forget it.
[26:44] Otafuku
Enough.
[26:48] Soutarou
W-What?
[26:52] Tanne
I suppose I've finally found
someone I can talk to, then
[26:58] Otafuku
So you're the one old lady
Kushigeya likes, Takinogawa Tanne?
[27:04] Soutarou
Tanne?
[27:04] Tanne
Yes, that's correct.
[27:05] Tanne
It's an honor to meet you,
Otomi-neesan of Otafuku.
[27:12] Otafuku
I'm told you and my young ones
got into quite a tussle.
[27:17] Tanne
Oh, the gentlemen at Kobashita?
[27:20] Tanne
We happened to pass by as they were behaving
rather ungentlemanly towards a train...
[27:24] Tanne
Protecting the railway networks
is a side business of ours.
[27:27] Tanne
I'm here to discuss our main job.
[27:30] Otafuku
Discuss?
[27:31] Otafuku
After humiliating us like this?
Listen to me, girl...
[27:35] Tanne
I'll be brief.
[27:37] Tanne
I'd like your cooperation
with our investigation.
[27:46] Hayatora
Is that some kind of joke
they tell up on the surface?
[27:53] Tanne
I'm told your son has disappeared.
[28:00] Tanne
Was there perhaps something
left behind at the scene?
[28:05] Tanne
Eerie tracks of some kind, maybe?
[28:09] Soutarou
Tracks?
[28:12] Otafuku
Would you happen to know anything about it?
[28:15] Tanne
Now now, don't be in such a hurry.
[28:17] Tanne
I'll throw in a little bonus, and
forget that you kidnapped the kid.
SIGN WE'VE GOT THE KID.
[28:22] Tanne
Why don't you have your
friends leave us alone,
[28:25] Tanne
and we can discuss the tracks
and your son in private?
[28:29] Tanne
We can take a look at the scene, too.
[28:31] Tanne
Of course, I'm taking the kid home.
[28:35] Otafuku
I'll ask one more time.
[28:37] Otafuku
You know who took my child, don't you?
[28:41] Tanne
I'm the one asking the questions here.
[28:43] Tanne
Don't get that wrong.
[28:45] Tanne
They aren't somebody you could
win a fight against, anyway.
[28:50] Otafuku
You think you can mock the Laughing
Masks and survive in the Dark?
[28:55] Tanne
You think this place is the Dark?
[28:59] Otafuku
Guess we'll have to show you
how things work down here.
[29:04] Tanne
No, that's fine.
[29:05] Tanne
This place is just the very
outer edge of the Dark.
[29:09] Tanne
We call it the Dim.
[29:12] Otafuku
The Dim?
[29:14] Tanne
The Dark is much deeper than you think,
[29:20] Tanne
and much more haunted.
[29:24] Otafuku
Looks like negotiations
have broken down, then!
[29:29] Soutarou
Oh no...
[29:30] Tanne
Oh, well that's not good.
[29:33] Tanne
Guns aren't a very constructive way
to solve problems.
[29:37] Masked Man
New kid, what are you doing?
[29:40] Soutarou
Oh, this? Pretty neat, huh?
[30:17] Soutarou
Oww...
[30:20] Tanne
You? We've met before...
[30:23] Soutarou
Ootsuji Soutarou. I'm a detective.
[30:26] Tanne
And what are you doing, Detective?
[30:28] Soutarou
Searching for someone, of course.
[30:29] Tanne
It's dangerous here.
[30:30] Tanne
How did you even get here?
[30:32] Soutarou
A kuda fox guided me here, I guess.
[30:35] Tanne
What?
[30:36] Soutarou
And if I'm not wrong, you're its master.
[30:39] Tanne
Seems like I underestimated you, maybe.
[30:42] Soutarou
Anyway, we've got a common enemy.
[30:44] Soutarou
And I guess you've been
separated from your friends.
[30:46] Masked Man
Hands up.
[30:52] Tanne
Tomeomi!
[30:57] Soutarou
She's strong.
[30:57] Soutarou
Sorry for the trouble!
[30:59] Tomeomi
Not at all. It's a part of daily life
in this line of work.
[31:03] Soutarou
Uh...
[31:04] Tanne
This here is some random detective.
[31:06] Soutarou
Hey.
[31:07] Tanne
More importantly, where's the Chief?
[31:10] Chief
You suck, amateurs!
[31:18] Chief
Damn it. I can't see a thing.
[31:19] Tamaya
Chief!
[31:21] Chief
Tamaya? Is that you, Tamaya?
[31:24] Tamaya
Chief! Are you okay?
[31:27] Chief
Yup! Bring out the Unohana!
[31:30] Tamaya
Bringing out the Unohana!
[31:34] Tanne
They're really going at it.
[31:37] Soutarou
Your friends are okay by themselves?
[31:39] Tanne
It's dangerous here, too.
[31:41] Tanne
A bullet could come from any direction.
[31:43] Tomeomi
If I may make a suggestion, ma'am!
[31:44] Tomeomi
We should take the long way
around to regroup.
[31:47] Tomeomi
As they say in this line of work,
hurry for three years, sleep for eight.
[31:52] Tanne
You a good runner, detective?
[31:54] Soutarou
If I'm running from someone with a gun.
[31:56] Tanne
Perfect.
[32:02] Tanne
Okay.
[32:14] Tanne
Detective! Run!
[32:20] Tanne
Where's Tomeomi?
[32:24] Tanne
Oh...
[32:28] Tanne
Okay! Let's run away!
[32:33] Soutarou
W-What is that?
SIGN SUPER-CRUSHER
[32:44] Soutarou
It's tough!
[32:50] Tanne
Detective!
[33:10] Chief
That was close.
[33:12] Tamaya
We just barely made it.
[33:13] Tanne
Chief!
[33:14] Tanne
And Tamaya, too! You saved us!
[33:17] Chief
Guess you're going to need that after all.
[33:20] Tanne
Yeah, though this discussion was
supposed to be more constructive.
[33:23] Soutarou
No, you were just provoking them.
[33:26] Tanne
Huh? Was I?
[33:27] Tanne
Oh, I know. Driver, get him
somewhere safe first...
[33:35] Tamaya
Our main unit's got a camp
a little ways away.
[33:39] Tamaya
I'll take you there.
[33:42] Soutarou
I appreciate it, but is it okay
to leave those three alone?
[33:45] Tamaya
Eh, it's fine. I gave them
plenty of ammo and weapons.
[33:49] Tamaya
They've dealt with plenty
of street thugs in their time.
[33:52] Tamaya
Oh, speaking of weapons. Just in case,
can you see the trigger up above you?
[33:57] Soutarou
Yeah...
[33:58] Tamaya
That fires the big gun.
[34:00] Tamaya
Use it if you need to.
[34:02] Soutarou
Me? No, no!
[34:05] Soutarou
I can't do that!
[34:09] Soutarou
It hit!
[34:12] Soutarou
Okay, what do I blow up next?
[34:14] Tamaya
Hey, don't overwork the thing!
[34:19] Tamaya
That was close...
[34:21] Tamaya
He's gonna ram us!
[34:36] Matsu
Hey, what do you think's
gonna happen with this battle?
[34:39] Matsu
Even we win, odd we lose!
[34:41] Take
Three big ones on odd.
[34:43] Matsu
You're always so pessimistic.
[34:45] Take
Think about it.
[34:47] Take
I know we're scared
of hitting allies in this smoke,
[34:50] Take
but we don't need to pull back all the way
to the edge of the quarter and just sit here.
[34:54] Take
If we don't go on the offensive,
we'll be surrounded and slaughtered.
[34:57] Ume
Huh? Sir, are we going to lose?
[35:01] Matsu
Just keep an eye out, fool.
[35:03] Matsu
We're in enemy territory, and we may
not have the home-field advantage,
[35:06] Matsu
but I trust the Captain
and the other leaders.
[35:08] Matsu
Five big ones on even and us winning!
[35:11] Take
Okay, here we go!
[35:14] Take
Four and six, even!
[35:19] Take
Unohana! The bastard came back!
[35:28] Matsu
The conductor!
[35:30] Matsu
Signal green!
[35:31] Matsu
Sokore, ahead!
[35:54] Hayatora
Okay, clean hit.
[35:57] Hayatora
Guess we just wait for them to leave, then.
[36:02] Hayatora
Oh my.
[36:03] Repairman
Destroy the Laughing Masks!
[36:08] Hayatora
I was getting sick of this mask, anyway.
[36:10] Hayatora
Okay, guys, we're getting out.
[36:13] Masked Men
Sure thing.
[36:14] Masked Men
Great.
[36:22] Chief
90 degrees to the right.
[36:28] Tanne
After her. After her!
[36:31] Ume
Captain, reach out your hand!
[36:46] Chief
Damn it. They're used to running away, huh?
[36:49] Tanne
We're stuck here for a while.
[36:51] Tanne
Chief, how long's this gonna take to repair?
[36:53] Tanne
The ground itself ain't that damaged.
[36:55] Tanne
Two hours, I guess.
[36:58] Tanne
Good thing you're good at your job.
[37:00] Tamaya
Chief!
[37:05] Chief
Tamaya!
[37:07] Tanne
Where's the detective?
[37:08] Tamaya
Um...
[37:10] Soutarou
Right here.
[37:11] Chief
I told you to get him somewhere safe!
[37:13] Soutarou
Well, it looks like I'm a part of this now...
[37:22] Matsu
Okay guys, get to work!
[37:24] Troops
One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[37:28] Tanne
I'm sorry this happened when
one of my men was with you.
[37:31] Soutarou
It's just a scratch.
[37:34] Soutarou
This is a strange smell, though.
[37:35] Tomeomi
A healing salve that's popular in this
line of work. You'll be better in no time.
[37:39] Soutarou
Well, what I really want to know is...
[37:42] Tanne
Oh? You're reopening your detective business?
[37:44] Soutarou
I guess.
[37:46] Soutarou
First, where are we?
[37:48] Aka
Kamegaike Lake.
[37:50] Aka
The commercial area located in the
abandoned underground reservoir.
[37:52] White
Yes, or as it's known, the Water Quarter.
[37:57] Aka
The gang's dreams of ruling the world from
an abandoned water reservoir are dashed forever.
[38:02] Shiro
I never thought the day would come
[38:05] Shiro
when broken-down creatures like us
would be allowed back here.
[38:07] Shiro
The Demon... ahem.
[38:09] Shiro
The Sokore 463... are the heroes of the
day, and rebuilding has already begun.
[38:14] Shiro
Are those shouts of joy coming
from the people they oppressed?
[38:18] Manju Seller
Who wants Sokore buns or Sokore monaka?
[38:19] Aka
Or are we hearing the birthing
cries of a new age of chaos?
[38:24] Shiro
But whatever the answer, Sis, what
about the thing we're all curious about?
[38:28] Aka
That, of course.
[38:29] Shiro
What waits inside the spectacular
palace they left behind?
[38:34] Aka
They began their lives of theft
and extortion long ago.
[38:37] Aka
Who knows how much
treasure they've stored up?
[38:40] Tamaya
It's totally empty.
[38:42] Tamaya
Like they all just skipped town.
[38:44] Chief
What about the second floor?
[38:45] Tamaya
I'm about to go look right now.
[38:49] Tanne
Second floor, yeah.
[38:52] Tanne
How'd you know about the kuda foxes?
[38:55] Soutarou
My dad used to have something similar.
[38:58] Soutarou
He brought a kuda fox like that home one day.
[39:02] Tanne
Huh? You have to go pretty
deep to find a kuda fox.
[39:05] Tanne
Just who is your dad?
[39:07] Soutarou
I don't know. He ran off
and left his family behind.
[39:13] Tamaya
And that's all the traps.
[39:16] Tamaya
Ready? Ready?
[39:19] Tamaya
Here we go!
[39:39] Tanne
That's definitely it.
[39:41] Soutarou
Tracks?
[39:56] Soutarou
Saki.
[39:59] Saki
What are you doing here?
[40:02] Soutarou
I came to bring you what you dropped.
[40:07] Saki
Your hand.
[40:09] Soutarou
Well, you know. I'm a detective.
[40:12] Soutarou
My hands got dirty a long time ago.
[40:15] Soutarou
That's what looks best on you.
[40:17] Soutarou
Miss Saki, the informant.
[40:24] Soutarou
Hey, what happened to your
search for Old Man Manabe?
[40:28] Saki
I didn't get anywhere at all.
[40:34] Soutarou
Wherever these people go missing,
[40:37] Soutarou
you always see these creepy tracks
around where they disappeared...
[40:41] Tanne
If you know about it, Detective, then
the guys in Intelligence are slacking off.
[40:45] Tomeomi
I'll file a report later.
[40:47] Tanne
That'll narrow some things down.
[40:48] Soutarou
So what's going on here?
[40:50] Tanne
You found who you were looking for, right?
[40:52] Tanne
Leave this to us...
[40:54] Soutarou
I'm looking for someone else,
who I'll find at the end of these tracks.
[40:57] Tanne
Whatever you say.
[41:00] Soutarou
At this point, though, the odds of
the Laughing Masks being behind this are...
[41:03] Tamaya
Zero.
[41:05] Tamaya
They do like their kidnappings,
but this was never their style.
[41:10] Saki
The room was like this when I got here.
[41:13] Saki
They were screaming about
finding some rich kid...
[41:16] Chief
Which is about what we figured.
[41:17] Chief
They're victims of whatever happened, too.
[41:21] Soutarou
So how many victims are out there, then?
[41:25] Tanne
I couldn't say.
[41:26] Tanne
This has been happening
for more than a decade or two.
[41:29] Tanne
I couldn't even begin to tell you.
[41:34] Tanne
But we're close to figuring out the pattern.
[41:37] Tanne
We figured that for
the first time in three years,
[41:39] Tanne
we'd see disappearances
between Ougi-chou and Jouhoku.
[41:41] Tanne
And we were right.
[41:43] Tanne
They seem to travel the land
in a defined cycle.
[41:46] Soutarou
So this happens here every 3 years?
[41:48] Soutarou
I'd never even heard of this.
[41:50] Tamaya
That's the thing.
[41:51] Tamaya
It's only recently that the numbers have
become big enough for anyone to notice.
[41:54] Tamaya
To the point where there's no hiding it.
[41:56] Tomeomi
We're concerned that this is a sign
of something much bigger.
[42:00] Tomeomi
And if it is...
[42:02] Soutarou
So, any idea who's behind it?
[42:07] Tanne
This underground labyrinth stretches out in
every direction, like the legs of an octopus.
[42:12] Tanne
Maybe the Dark itself has a will of
its own, and it's grabbing the people
[42:15] Tanne
and dragging them down to its depths?
[42:18] Tanne
How's that for a story, Detective?
[42:22] Soutarou
I'm not interested in fairy tales
like that. They scare me.
[42:25] Chief
Didja piss your pants?
[42:27] Tanne
It might not be a fairy tale.
[42:30] Tanne
When you're alone in the deep tunnels,
[42:32] Tanne
you'll feel like something's
calling you from deeper inside,
[42:34] Tanne
like this is a place you've always known.
[42:38] Tanne
It happens a lot.
[42:40] Manjuu Seller
Thanks!
[42:41] Manjuu Seller
We're sold out for today!
[42:44] Tanne
As soon as we're done here, we'll
send you back to the surface.
[42:46] Manjuu Seller
Thanks so much!
[42:47] Tanne
We'll take responsibility
for the investigation.
[42:49] Soutarou
Responsibility, huh?
[42:51] Tanne
Is there something else?
[42:53] Soutarou
Takinogawa Tanne...
[42:55] Soutarou
A mysterious girl who owns a kuda fox
and commands an armored train.
[42:58] Soutarou
And what comes after that?
[43:00] Tanne
Who knows?
[43:02] Soutarou
"Who knows?"
[43:03] Soutarou
How can somebody like that take
responsibility for anything?
[43:05] Soutarou
And those tracks... now that I've seen
them for real, something bothers me.
[43:10] Soutarou
Perhaps I've seen them before...
[43:12] Tanne
What? I figured you'd be used to them.
[43:14] Soutarou
My dad was. Not me.
[43:16] Tanne
The kuda are a valuable means of passing
information in the underground, but not above.
[43:20] Tanne
Your father was a man of odd tastes.
[43:25] Tanne
Chief! It's from the supply teams!
[43:26] Soutarou
And what comes after that?
[43:27] Tanne
They want to meet up at Position Ya.
[43:30] Chief
Good to hear it.
[43:31] Chief
We blew through a lot of money...
SIGN CIRCUS
[43:33] Soutarou
Circus?
[43:35] Tanne
What?
[43:40] Soutarou
Don't let the Dark draw you in.
[43:46] Soutarou
I remember now... the city was so
bright and filled with excitement.
[43:52] Soutarou
No, that's not right.
[43:54] Soutarou
Right. I went down.
[43:57] Soutarou
I wanted to see what was
at the end of that tunnel.
[43:59] Tanne
Tunnel?
[44:06] Soutarou
Madoro and His Merry Band...
[44:11] Soutarou
There's more?
[44:12] Soutarou
That's right... how'd I forget?
[44:14] Soutarou
This. This is it.
SIGN CIRCUS
[44:16] Tanne
It's hard to read.
[44:17] Soutarou
It wasn't this thin, though...
[44:19] Tanne
And?
[44:20] Soutarou
They were here then, too.
[44:24] Soutarou
It's hard to concentrate.
[44:26] Tanne
Hypnotic suggestion?
[44:28] Tanne
If it is...
[44:29] Tomeomi
Take a second to calm down.
[44:31] Soutarou
Madoro and His Merry Band.
[44:33] Soutarou
A circus that comes to the city once
every few years from who-knows-where.
[44:37] Soutarou
I remember beautiful acrobatics
on a unicycle that left a black track.
[44:42] Tanne
And they were at the end of this tunnel?
[44:45] Soutarou
No, that's not right.
[44:48] Soutarou
The tunnel leads to the surface.
[44:52] Soutarou
Yeah. Yup. When the time comes,
[44:55] Soutarou
they always set up their big tent
near the Otonashi River in Ougi-chou.
[44:58] Soutarou
There's an abandoned tunnel
that leads to the back of it.
[45:01] Soutarou
It was always a spot
where kids used to play.
[45:04] Tomeomi
Even in this line of work,
I've never heard of such a thing.
[45:06] Tomeomi
An event of that size being held
at regular intervals in Ougi-chou...
[45:09] Soutarou
Yeah. Strangely enough, I'd forgotten
it myself until a moment ago.
[45:13] Soutarou
I bet it's not even in the town's records.
[45:15] Soutarou
It'll probably disappear back
into the depths the minute it's over.
[45:19] Tanne
A traveling circus that plays
tricks on the human mind,
[45:21] Tanne
slipping through the cracks
in their consciousness...
[45:25] Tanne
Sounds like a story for the pulps.
[45:27] Tanne
Impossible to believe.
[45:29] Soutarou
But for some reason, the look on your
faces tells me you're looking into them, too.
[45:33] Soutarou
Don't you think it's about time
you tell me what's going on here?
[45:40] Tanne
Of course, I thought the answer
would be found down here...
[45:45] Tanne
Think this means they caught us
where we were blind, Chief?
[45:48] Chief
Yeah, sounds like a good lead.
[45:50] Chief
What do we do?
[45:53] Soutarou
Why don't we hit them from
behind, where they're blind?
[45:58] Chief
I see. That tunnel.
[46:00] Tanne
Don't tell me you're planning
on being our guide.
[46:04] Tanne
Why?
[46:05] Soutarou
I'd long forgotten it, but...
[46:08] Soutarou
I just remembered a reason
why I've got to do this, too.
[46:12] Soutarou
I'm curious as to what comes after, too.
[46:14] Soutarou
The circus will be starting soon.
[46:17] Soutarou
What will you do?
[46:18] Matsu
The tracks have been fixed!
[46:25] Tanne
Gambling?
[46:29] Tanne
Okay. Where are you taking us, Detective?
[46:33] Soutarou
Where else?
[46:34] Soutarou
Set a course for northwest Ougi-chou,
[46:37] Soutarou
the abandoned dock area
at the Otonashi River!
[46:49] Tanne
There's an abandoned tunnel there?
[46:52] Soutarou
Yeah. It can't have changed
that much since those days.
[46:57] Soutarou
Head out from the station to the river,
and you're right at the road to the circus.
[47:02] Soutarou
Today's the festival of the god Gongen,
[47:04] Soutarou
so the place will be packed
with colorful festival stalls.
[47:06] Soutarou
Come one, come all, step right up,
and see the greatest show on earth.
[47:10] Soutarou
The band begins to play, and the beautiful
decorated bridge becomes a massive gate...
[47:15] Soutarou
That leads straight into hell.
[47:19] Background
Hey, hold that end of it.
[47:22] Kozuchi
Hey Tanne, I heard you took
down the Laughing Masks.
[47:26] Tanne
Yeah, that's right.
[47:27] Tanne
We caught 'em by the dozen, so
I'd like you to take them in for us.
[47:29] Kozuchi
Glad to hear it.
[47:32] Chief
The Two-Legged Tank's
a bit of a mess, though.
[47:37] Kozuchi
I'm afraid I didn't bring a spare.
[47:39] Soutarou
Hey, who are you people, really?
[47:42] Tamaya
Don't start asking questions now, okay?
[47:46] Matsu
Forget that, mister. Which will you bet on?
[47:48] Matsu
This mission!
[47:50] Matsu
I bet 10 big ones it works!
[47:53] Tanne
Take care of the girl for me.
[47:54] Kozuchi
Sure thing. Tanne, don't work too hard.
[47:57] Kozuchi
You too, Tomeomi.
[47:59] Tomeomi
Of course.
[48:00] Tanne
Thank you for the supplies.
[48:01] Tanne
Say thanks to grandmother.
[48:03] Soutarou
Don't let the Dark draw you in.
[48:05] Soutarou
My dad disappeared right after that.
[48:10] Soutarou
Maybe he went after them?
[48:13] Tanne
And that's your reason?
[48:20] Tanne
You were right! We'll ram it!
[48:32] Tanne
The show's over! Over!
[48:36] Chief
Jump off!
[48:45] Tanne

You dropped this.

That'll do, I suppose.

[52:16] Soutarou

[52:17] Souhachi
Mom won't be back for a while.
[52:21] Souhachi
Zaka-san found her, she said.
[52:23] Soutarou
And she can't come home
until she finishes her story.
[52:25] Souhachi
She's an author. That's how it goes.
[52:28] Souhachi
Her detective stories are really popular.
[52:30] Soutarou
She's busier than an actual detective.
[52:32] Souhachi
You've got me there!
[52:33] Souhachi
Or you would, normally, but I'm about
to get really busy with a new job!
[52:39] Souhachi
Why did you become a detective, dad?
[52:43] Souhachi
Soutarou, did you know
that road used to be a river?
[52:47] Soutarou
It did?
[52:48] Souhachi
It's been filled in so you can't see it.
[52:50] Souhachi
But the water actually
still flows underground.
[52:54] Souhachi
That's how society works, too.
[52:57] Souhachi
A lot of important stuff gets
buried over and washed away
[53:01] Souhachi
without anybody ever seeing it.
[53:07] Soutarou
Washed away to where?
[53:09] Souhachi
Huh? Well...

are running the whole show,

keeping everything nice and orderly.

but it means that maps are worth less.

[06:13] Iseya
I recommend focusing on quantity, as usual.
[06:18] Iseya
But if you're willing to risk your life,
I'm not going to stop you.
[06:29] Iseya
As bad as the market might be for you,
this city and its people are always changing.
[06:34] Iseya
So you should always have some work,
as long as the city's around.
[06:39] Kagari
What if I tried the area
around the Taihei building?
[06:43] Iseya
I don't think you'll find a lot of unmapped
ground right under that kind of spotlight.
[06:48] Iseya
It's areas like this,
far from the bright lights,
[06:51] Iseya
where the roads are as complex as
they are obscure that need charting.
SIGN Komainu Mineral Baths
[06:57] Iseya
Plus, a kid like you can hang around
where you don't belong
[07:01] Iseya
without getting into too much trouble.
[07:03] Iseya
The downside being,
[07:04] Iseya
a more respectable client wouldn't have
a kid risking their neck like this.
[07:10] Iseya
As far as society's concerned, neither I
[07:13] Iseya
nor you who sells to me
are anything close to normal.
[07:19] Iseya
Granted, I'm just buying the info you sell,
[07:22] Iseya
so it's not like I'm your
guardian or your employer.
[07:24] Iseya
Meaning I neither have the right nor the duty
to tell you to be more cautious.
[07:29] Kagari
I understand.
[07:31] Kagari
Sorry for making a fuss.
[07:34] Iseya
Perish the thought! It'd be weirder
if you didn't complain a little,
[07:39] Iseya
considering how this town seems to be filling
up with people who don't make any sense.
[07:44] Kagari
And that's what happened.
[07:47] Kagari
How's business on your end, Yuya?
[07:50] Yuya
Basically the same.
[07:51] Yuya
The best prices you can get lately
are around the northern pump.
[07:56] Kagari
Oh, over where they keep
having new collapses?
[07:59] Yuya
Yep.
[08:01] Yuya
The local power balance between neighborhoods
keeps shifting as a result,
[08:04] Yuya
turning the whole thing into a powder keg.
[08:06] Yuya
To be honest, I'm not sure it's worth it,
even if the payout is nice.
[08:11] Kagari
Iseya mentioned something like that.
[08:14] Kagari
"This is too dangerous for a kid!"
[08:18] Yuya
Well, there are also rumors
that the Mujina are involved.
[08:23] Yuya
And if we're not careful,
they'll be after us, too.
[08:30] Yuya
Don't let it get you down.

Once I finish this, I'll be able
to make some real money!

[08:36] Kagari
Oh, this is by the big Mushikui Cavity!
[08:39] Kagari
It's connected to abandoned tunnels too, huh?
[08:42] Kagari
Wow.
[08:43] Yuya
Your map is looking good as well, Kagari.
[08:45] Yuya
Remember that vertical shaft?
[08:47] Yuya
I'd been curious about it
ever since we checked it out.
[08:50] Kagari
Oh, I remember I almost fell in that time.
[08:55] Yuya
You did!
[08:57] Kagari
Still, if it's getting dangerous,
[09:00] Kagari
maybe I should put off charting
around Mushikui Cavities for the time being.
[09:05] Yuya
I've gotta say...
[09:06] Yuya
This park is still really creepy.
[09:11] Kagari
You think?
[09:13] Kagari
I think Kuchinawa's
got a cute sense of style.

[09:20] Kagari
See? Speak of the devil...
[09:41] Kuchinawa
Oh, it's you again. Welcome to my garden.
[09:46] Kuchinawa
You've some nerve to be having
a romantic rendezvous out here.
[09:48] Yuya
Rendezvous...?!
[09:49] Kagari
That's not it, Kuchinawa.
[09:51] Yuya
It's not...?
[09:52] Kagari
We were just discussing business. That's all.
[09:53] Kagari
As two mappers of the Box Garden.
[09:55] Kuchinawa
Business? Well, this is
hardly the place for it!
[10:00] Kuchinawa
Not conducive to constructive talk.
[10:02] Kagari
Don't be like that.
[10:04] Kagari
Besides, you call it a garden,
[10:05] Kagari
but it's just a bunch of stuff you
made on your own and left out.
[10:08] Kuchinawa
Is that right?! And you're wondering why?
[10:11] Kuchinawa
This place is no less than
a boon for public welfare!
[10:15] Kuchinawa
For the sake of the children of this town,
[10:18] Kuchinawa
I have left my own "children" out here,
with nary a request for recompense!
[10:24] Kuchinawa
Do you understand?
[10:26] Kuchinawa
They also serve as advertising
for my workshop!
[10:29] Yuya
But... it's not much of a walk
to bigger places or amusement parks.
[10:35] Kuchinawa
I'm certain this place can stand
toe-to-toe with any other!
[10:39] Kuchinawa
That said...
[10:40] Kuchinawa
I refuse to take anything for granted.
[10:44] Kuchinawa
Not after what happened.
[10:46] Kuchinawa
I can never make a mistake like that again.
[10:48] Kuchinawa
Too much was lost!
[10:51] Kuchinawa
But I still have a lot to offer.
[10:54] Kuchinawa
Yes, to make this garden an even
better place for the children...
[10:59] Kuchinawa
I must make my mark.
I must leave them something!
[11:02] Yuya
What's with him?
[11:05] Kuchinawa
Oh, Sasara.
[11:08] Kuchinawa
You're right. It's time to eat.
[11:10] Kuchinawa
The time has come to test my fully
automated kamechabu dispenser!
[11:16] Kuchinawa
Hope springs eternal! Time for kamechabu!
[11:20] Kagari
I think I'm craving kamechabu now, too.
[11:23] Yuya
I know.
[11:24] Kagari
Well, we can continue our
business talk over some bowls.
[11:29] Shiina
I've been wondering. What
exactly is a mapper?
[11:32] Candy Shop
We're starting there, huh?!
[11:36] Candy Shop
"What's at the end of this path?"
[11:38] Candy Shop
"Oh, it comes out here!"
[11:40] Candy Shop
And then you chart the path between
two points. Well, that's what they do.
[11:45] Shiina
Makes sense.
[11:46] Candy Shop
The entire Box Garden
is owned by Taihei Industries.
[11:50] Candy Shop
But the truth is, it's the subcontractors
[11:52] Candy Shop
in charge of the neighborhoods
who really keep the place running.
[11:54] Candy Shop
Which is why there's no proper maps!
[11:57] Shiina
They're competing?
[11:58] Candy Shop
Yep! A bunch of squabbling
over their tiny slices of territory,
[12:02] Candy Shop
with the borders being redrawn every day.
[12:04] Candy Shop
That's the kinda city you're in.
[12:07] Candy Shop
And we've arrived at your accommodation!

[12:15] Kagari
Oh, they don't have places that serve food
like this in your neck of the woods?
[12:20] Yuya
It's a rundown part of town,
[12:22] Yuya
so the best I can hope for is places
that serve frog and call it chicken.
[12:26] Kagari
It's still pretty good, though.
Reminds me of catfish.
[12:30] Yuya
Sure...
[12:32] Yuya
So, the thing you mentioned.
Who are you selling to, Kagari?
[12:35] Kagari
Probably to Iseya, I guess.
[12:38] Kagari
I don't know anyone else who deals in info.
[12:41] Yuya
Let's say, hypothetically... If you made some
real money off of it, what would you do?
[12:44] Kagari
What do you mean?
[12:46] Yuya
Are you gonna keep working as
a mapper in this town forever?
[12:49] Kagari
I sure will.
[12:51] Yuya
Why...?
[12:52] Kagari
Why ask why?
[12:54] Yuya
I've noticed pipes I had no trouble squeezing
between last year are tight fits now.
[12:58] Yuya
We're not kids anymore.
[13:00] Yuya
And do you really want to be an errand girl
for an info broker your whole life?
[13:04] Kagari
You think it's that bad?
Isn't that just how this town works?
[13:08] Kagari
You've got the coal miners, and above them
are the neighborhood associations...
[13:12] Kagari
And way above all those is Taihei.
[13:14] Kagari
I guess it'd be hard,
[13:16] Kagari
not being able to squeeze through pipes
anymore on account of growing up...
[13:19] Yuya
That's just it!
[13:21] Yuya
Everyone in this city is doing
someone else's dirty work.
[13:24] Yuya
The only exceptions are people like Iseya
and the old man from earlier. The oddballs.
[13:30] Yuya
I just wanna be someplace...
a little brighter.

Hey, more booze here!

You laughing at me?!

Sorry for the trouble, but you're

Say that again!
[14:01] Eiwajima
Well, I'm afraid I'm going
to have to ask you to leave.
[14:07] Ete
It's you!

You work for Komainu! Eiwajima!
[14:12] Kagari
Yep.

He's the security around here,
representing the neighborhood association.
[14:16] Kagari
And he's real strong.

Damn it all!

This ain't over!

It does, huh...?
[14:36] Kagari

is from your part of town?
[14:39] Yuya
Yeah, one of the neighborhood associations.
Lotta shady rumors about them.
[14:42] Kagari
Such as?
[14:43] Yuya
Well, lately, they've been rumored
to have been working with the Mujina...
[14:49] Kagari
Quit trying to scare me!
[14:51] Yuya
Well, either way, I'd stay away
from Mushikui Cavities for the time being.

I guess I will.

they've been a band of fearsome

But what are they really?
[15:54] White Kichi
Boss lady, I gotta tell you!
Another sinkhole opened up!
[15:57] Red Fuku
Well, if the tunnels weren't enough trouble,

there are plenty of natural hollows
in the ground in these parts, too.

I'm curious about what they're up to.

Expecting some kind of trouble?
[16:29] Shiina
It could be that.
[16:30] Shiina
Now, what was this interesting
business you wanted to discuss?
[16:33] Candy Shop
Well, it's looking like the sinkhole that opened
up near the northern pump wasn't an accident.
[16:39] Candy Shop
Turns out... they found something odd.
[16:39] Shooting Game Guy
Bullseye!
[16:42] Shiina
Such as?
[16:44] Candy Shop
I take it you're interested, then?
[16:46] Candy Shop
Because the folks who run that part
of town are more than a little rowdy.
[16:50] Candy Shop
The kind who, if you
cheese them off? Blammo!
[16:52] Candy Shop
And yet, even they seem to be creeped out
by what they've found.
[16:56] Shiina
That's suspicious.
The sooner I can check it out...
[16:56] Shooting Game Guy
Bullseye!
[16:58] Candy Shop
Oh, I wouldn't rush it! I've arranged
something for tomorrow evening.
[17:02] Candy Shop
For now—and this is just my gut talking...
[17:05] Shiina
Well? What is it?
[17:07] Candy Shop
Haste makes waste.

about time you went home?
[17:27] Kuchinawa

First of all, this subsidence is actually—
[17:30] Hachiko
Honestly... I think Kuchinawa
might be getting too old.
[17:33] Shiba
Okay, okay, you can tell me
all about it back at the station.
[17:35] Hachiko
Every time a sinkhole's opened up lately,
he's been like this.
[17:39] Hachiko
"I will decipher the cause behind it all!"
[17:44] Hachiko
I'll admit that there's been so
many lately, it is kinda creepy.

No such thing. No matter where you go.
[18:24] Kagari
That doesn't sound right...
[18:27] Iseya
Best you can hope for
[18:28] Iseya
is somewhere where afternoons
give you a warm, sunny, cozy feeling.
[18:34] Iseya
Granted, there are people willing
to die for that tiny distinction...
[18:39] Iseya
Wow, there's an alternate route
to get around the warehouse sinkhole?
[18:43] Kagari
There'd be real trouble
if it ended up stopping traffic.
[18:46] Iseya
That's what I love about this town.
[18:48] Iseya
From top to bottom, the bad and the good,
it's always interesting.
[18:53] Kagari
But you're pretty smart, Boss.
Couldn't you work somewhere nicer?
[18:59] Iseya
I'm just not suited to a place like that.
[19:03] Iseya
Compared to wrestling
with everyone else for a loftier spot,
[19:05] Iseya
I'm a lot more comfortable planting my bottom
somewhere I can relax and run my business.
[19:09] Kagari
You sure that's not just
because you're a oddball?
[19:13] Iseya
That might be it!
[19:15] Iseya
You'll find a lot of people here
[19:17] Iseya
who are hung up on getting
their bright, sunny place.
[19:21] Iseya
Old man Kuchinawa, for one...
[19:25] Kagari
Was Kuchinawa...
someone important before?

That's a good question.

But the answer will cost you.

After you went and got me interested?

You do remember what my job is, right?

A lot of our facilities

I've heard.
[20:15] Iseya
It's almost funny how obvious it is
that someone's pulling the strings.

Granted, things have been looking suspicious
[20:22] Iseya
ever since the hole over
by the northern pump.
SIGN General
[20:24] Eiwajima
Which brings me to the meeting hall.
[20:25] Eiwajima
We found a tunnel no one recognized
underneath the sinkhole.
[20:30] Eiwajima
I'm thinking someone took a Mushikui Cavity
and blew it out with some explosives.
[20:35] Iseya
I see where you're going.
[20:37] Eiwajima
From the way it was laid out,
I'm positive it was the Mujina.
[20:41] Eiwajima
Either that, or someone like them.
[20:44] Eiwajima
But as things stand, that's too much
for my people to handle.
[20:47] Eiwajima
I'm looking for maps of the
Mushikui Cavities around town.
[20:51] Eiwajima
And I'm thinking you've got them.
[20:55] Iseya
I've got some, sure. But only a fraction.
[20:59] Iseya
Do you realize how complex the
underground around here is?
[21:03] Eiwajima
That's the thing.
[21:05] Eiwajima
If this was planned, it was a
little too smoothly executed.
[21:09] Eiwajima
Someone who knows the Mushikui Cavities
in detail had to have done it.
[21:12] Iseya
I think the question is less "Who?"
and more "Why?".
[21:17] Iseya
If they were targeting rich folks, or a
storehouse full of gold, it'd be simple.
[21:24] Kagari
Mr. Iseya!
[21:26] Kagari
This seems like a big deal,
so I'll come back later.
[21:30] Iseya
You sure?
[21:31] Iseya
Well, I'll make the appraisal, so come by
to pick up your payment some other day.
[21:35] Kagari
Okay.
[21:37] Iseya

[21:53] Kagari
Oh, it's actually a private library

[21:56] Kagari
They relocated to the top of these stairs...
[21:58] Kagari
but they're closed for the day.
[22:00] Shiina
I see.
[22:02] Shiina
When are they usually open?
[22:05] Kagari
It tends to be when the boss feels like it...
[22:09] Shiina
Some things never change.
[22:11] Shiina
But thank you anyway.
[22:13] Kagari
Sure.
[22:14] Shiina
Now, there's a shortcut to the northern pump
if I head straight down this way, right?
[22:19] Kagari
Yes... Wait, no!
[22:23] Kagari
There's a sinkhole in front of the park
blocking the way now,

You sure it's not time to wrap this job up?
[22:53] Kagari
You think?

Now's the best chance to make a lot of money,
[22:57] Yuya
so I can move somewhere better.
[23:00] Kagari
Somewhere better...?

I haven't heard from Yuya

To be blunt, you may need
to be prepared for the worst.
[23:42] Kagari
Oh, no...
[23:43] Iseya
I knew he had been up to something,
[23:46] Iseya
but I didn't think that "something"
was running around inside Mushikui Cavities.
[23:50] Iseya
Then again, maybe it was luck that
you've both been fine all this time...
[23:52] Kagari
Y-Yuya? I'm coming in, okay?
[23:54] Iseya
I would've appreciated a word of warning.
[23:57] Kagari
Sorry...

You may have made the right call taking
things easy with the recent troubles, though.

That's an important instinct
for a mapper to have.

But, Boss... What should I do now?
[24:11] Iseya
Well, he might've gone missing
at the worst possible time.
[24:14] Kagari
Really?
[24:15] Iseya
Yeah.
[24:17] Iseya
Shadowy forces are starting to poke their
heads out from the underground, I think.
[24:44] Kagari
The way this is set up...
[24:46] Kagari
Were the Mujina here?
[25:30] Ishizaru Boss
You numbskull!
[25:33] Ishizaru Boss
First, we gotta clear them out.
[25:36] Ishizaru Boss
Everything else comes after!
[25:38] Miner (Futoshi)
But, Chief, that building
we brought down had a sign
[25:43] Miner (Futoshi)
about getting rid of the
scrip payment system...
[25:46] Miner (Futoshi)
Right?
[25:46] Miner (Shigeru)
Yeah, and they're supposed to be talking to
the bigwigs at Taihei about raising wages.
[25:51] Miner (Shigeru)
Doesn't that mean the Komainu
are on the side of us miners?
[25:56] Hayatora
Bold as it might be to demand...
[25:58] Hayatora
I'm going to need the cooperation
of all of you to go through with this deal.
[26:02] Hayatora
You understand that much, right?
[26:04] Komainu
R-Right.
[26:06] Komainu
Hey, shut those two up!
[26:08] Shigeru
N-No! We weren't trying to cause trouble!
[26:11] Hayatora
My good men of the Ishizaru family,
[26:14] Hayatora
who is it that keeps this city above
ground by the sweat of their labor?
[26:19] Miner C
It's us!
[26:20] Miner D
The coal miners!
[26:22] Hayatora
Right. And what about those Komainu people?
[26:26] Hayatora
They loom over you all,
squeezing profits they haven't earned
[26:29] Hayatora
from the markets they control...
[26:31] Hayatora
But weren't they once miners, too?
[26:33] Hayatora
And like your friends just said, they're
apparently getting chummy with the bosses!
[26:38] Hayatora
Right?
[26:38] Miner C
That's right! They're traitors!
[26:40] Thug A
We've gotta crush 'em!
[26:41] Miner D
That's right!
[26:43] Hayatora
Then we're all in favor of a raid...
[26:46] Hayatora
And by tomorrow,
their territory will be yours.
[26:50] Ishizaru
I have to admit, you put
together quite an arsenal.
[26:53] Hayatora
Well, that is our business.
[26:56] Ishizaru
My only other concern is the info broker...
[26:59] Ishizaru
You know, the one who loans books.
[27:01] Kagari
Boss...!
[27:01] Ishizaru
They say he's got ties to the authorities.
[27:05] Hayatora
An info broker?
[27:07] Hayatora
We can always sic this on him.
[27:37] Ishizaru
And these are the birdlime rounds?
[27:39] Ishizaru
You boys can stay put for a while!
[27:41] Ishizaru
Gotta say, you dug up quite the find.
[27:43] Hayatora
I threw in plenty of additional ammo.
[27:46] Hayatora
We're counting on you
to become a big shot, after all.
[27:51] Hayatora
Well, now... Looks like
we've got a rat lurking about.
[27:59] Ishizaru
Catch her!
[28:06] Kagari
This is bad! This is bad!
This is really, really bad!
[28:25] Thug A
Hey, I found her!
[28:27] Thug B
Damn it, I'm on your side!
[28:31] Kagari
No other way...
[28:44] Kagari
Too sturdy!
[29:02] Ishizaru
What? She works for the info broker?!
[29:04] Thug A
Right. She's been seen hanging around
his place, like she knows him.
[29:10] Thug A
I doubt she survived that, though.
[29:12] Ishizaru
Fool! Better safe than sorry!
[29:14] Ishizaru
We're moving up our schedule.
[29:16] Thug A
S-Sure...
[29:25] Shiina
Good grief, you really are armed.
[29:28] Guide
Damn right we are.
SIGN Northern Pump
[29:29] Guide
There's been no shortage of looters
[29:31] Guide
looking to fleece this place
since the hole opened up.
[29:33] Guide
And in the ten years since the pump
was installed, we've kept it safe.
[29:38] Shiina
Ten years?
[29:39] Shiina
The facility looks rather...
weathered, considering.
[29:44] Shiina
What was it originally—
[29:45] Guide
There it is. The hole you're looking for.
[29:48] Guide
I'd appreciate it if, once you're done
looking around, you cleared out. Fast.
[29:54] Shiina
Right. Of course.
[29:55] Guide
I may owe your friend a debt...
[29:57] Guide
but if you stir up any trouble around here,
my boys are gonna make a fuss.
[30:03] Shiina
I know better than to cause problems.
[30:31] Kagari
So this is where it leads.
[30:41] Yuya
Whoa, it's me. Calm down.
[30:47] Kagari
Yuya...
[30:56] Shiina
I didn't expect to find this
before I found a map.
[31:02] Candy Shop
Ma'am...
[31:04] Candy Shop
What the heck is this?
[31:09] Kagari
Where have you been, Yuya?
[31:14] Yuya
I was keeping my distance because I didn't
want to get caught up in the fighting.
[31:19] Kagari
I see.
[31:20] Kagari
Well, I should let Iseya know.
[31:25] Iseya
Hey, you're back.
[31:29] Iseya
And Yuya's safe, too.
[31:31] Kagari
That's the map, Boss!
[31:34] Kagari
I ran into the scariest monster
down past that Mushikui Cavity!
[31:39] Iseya
I see. It moved on its own, like a tank...
[31:44] Kagari
It was a metal monster on six legs!
[31:48] Iseya
I thought as much.
[31:50] Kagari
You thought what...?
[31:54] Iseya
It's an Aburamushi.
[31:56] Candy Shop
Aburamushi?
[31:58] Shiina
Right.
[31:58] Shiina
"In the depths of a Mushikui Cavity,
I spotted an Case Two-Eight."
[32:02] Shiina
That was the last transmission we
received from my predecessor...
[32:07] Shiina
but it looks like some
grave robbers beat us to it.
[32:10] Candy Shop
A Case Two-Eight...?
[32:12] Shiina
That's the code name for it.
[32:14] Shiina
But there's no need for
secrecy at this point.
[32:18] Shiina
Not with the city in danger.
[32:21] Candy Shop
What the heck was in there?
[32:23] Candy Shop
What's an Aburamushi?
[32:24] Shiina
Something that the Taihei Group...
[32:27] Shiina
No. More like the legacy of the
former Teriyasu Industries.
SIGN Taihei
SIGN Taihei
[32:32] Kagari
Teriyasu?
[32:34] Iseya
Right. As you might be aware, our overlords
at Taihei used to go by that name.
[32:39] Iseya
But do you know why they changed?
[32:41] Kagari
Not really, no.
[32:43] Iseya
Of course not.
[32:45] Iseya
This happened a considerable time ago.
[32:48] Iseya
It was described as the
New Year's Eve from hell.
[32:51] Kagari
New Year's Eve?
[32:53] Iseya
Also known as...
[32:54] Iseya
the Ushigaeru Incident.
[32:57] Shiina
Teriyasu Industries used to be
the core of the business group.
[33:00] Shiina
A line of automatons they
were testing went berserk.
[33:04] Shiina
They were only supposed to be
robotic rat exterminators,
[33:07] Shiina
but they turned against humans,
[33:09] Shiina
and the city became a war zone on
what was supposed to be a holiday.
[33:12] Shiina
You know all this, right?
[33:13] Candy Shop
Of course, considering my age.
[33:15] Candy Shop
"As a result, the Automaton
Regulation Act was passed!"
[33:20] Shiina
There were rumors that someone
had orchestrated the accident.
[33:24] Shiina
But either way, it sabotaged
the true goal of the plan.
[33:27] Candy Shop
There was a true goal?
[33:29] Shiina
Right. They were...
[33:31] Kagari
Developing unmanned weapons?
[33:33] Iseya
Right. They would be operated independently
by a computational device,
[33:37] Iseya
seeking out and exterminating their targets.
[33:39] Iseya
The monster you saw
would've been a prototype.
[33:43] Iseya
Something that was supposed
to have been disposed of.
[33:45] Kagari
It was?
[33:46] Iseya
But nothing ever goes as planned.
[33:49] Iseya
Teriyasu Industries has
been gone for a long time,
[33:52] Iseya
and yet their creations still slumber
within old facilities all over the place.
[33:58] Iseya
There've been rumors about it all along.
[34:01] Iseya
But I never would've thought one
would be found in this town.
[34:05] Iseya
Quite the surprise.
[34:06] Kagari
How do you know all this, Boss?
[34:12] Iseya
Well, if I told you any more,
I'd have to charge you.
[34:16] Kagari
What was that?
[34:27] Candy Shop
That felt like another hole
opening up in the valley, I think.
[34:33] Shiina
No. That sound...
[34:35] Guide
Hey, what was that?
[34:37] Worker
Seems like there's smoke
coming from the valley.
[34:39] Guide
What?! We need to know what it is!
[34:48] Shiina
This signal...
[34:51] Kagari
They said they weren't doing
anything until tomorrow!
[34:55] Yuya
After you got away, they probably
decided to move things up.
[34:58] Yuya
We need to get out of here.
[34:59] Kagari
But the boss...
[35:02] Iseya
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Let's take the back route.
[35:33] Ishizaru
Be a little more gentle, would you?!
[35:35] Ete
Chief! There was no sign of the librarian!
[35:38] Ishizaru
Fine! We'll wipe out those
Komainu dogs instead!
[35:42] Eiwajima
Well, well... If it isn't
the head of the Ishizaru.
[35:46] Eiwajima
I regret to inform you that the Komainu
market is closed for the evening.
[35:52] Eiwajima
I must sadly ask you to take your leave.
[35:56] Ishizaru
You're that Komainu brat!
[35:58] Ishizaru
I'll send you to join your
predecessor soon enough!
[36:04] Eiwajima
Then I'm afraid I must hasten your exit.
[36:08] Eiwajima
You punks better be ready!
[36:13] Komainu
Take that!
[36:17] Shiba
How long's it been since
we had a dynamite fight?!
[36:19] Hazuki
You've done this before?!
[36:21] Eiwajima
Shiba, hold things down here.
[36:22] Eiwajima
I'm gonna lead a charge.
[36:23] Shiba
Got it!
[36:24] Hazuki
I'm with you!
[36:26] Kagari
Something's happening!
[36:28] Yuya
I don't even know if the
park is gonna be safe.
[36:31] Yuya
We need to get further away.
[36:32] Iseya
No, it's too soon for that.
[36:35] Iseya
Besides...
[36:38] Iseya
This is a problem that we need to solve.
[36:41] Eiwajima
All right! Push 'em back!
[36:43] Punk A
Hey! Foot soldiers, move up!
[36:45] Ishizaru
Hey! Is it ready yet?!
[36:47] Ushiro
Uh, I think this is how you...?
[36:50] Yuya
Do you have some kind of plan
for dealing with them?
[36:55] Iseya
Well...
[36:56] Iseya
You could say that.
[37:01] Hazuki
Man, it's just like he told us!
[37:03] Eiwajima
Hey, their tin cans are here!
[37:09] Hanuma
Damn it!
[37:09] Ete
Chief, they seem really well-prepared!
[37:12] Ishizaru
That damned librarian must've told them!
[37:15] Ishizaru
Okay, keep them from going on the offensive.
[37:19] Ishizaru
Take Unit 2 with you!
[37:20] Ete
You got it. But what about down here?
[37:23] Ishizaru
I wanted to take the market intact,
but so be it.
[37:26] Ishizaru
Hey, send out Unit 3!
[37:29] Hazuki
What the...?
[37:32] Eiwajima
Here comes the star of the show.
[37:34] Hazuki
The star?
[37:35] Eiwajima
Yeah.
[37:36] Eiwajima
This one's got no mercy...
[37:38] Eiwajima
and live ammo.
[37:43] Evacuee B
It lit up again!
[37:44] Hachiko
Everyone! It's dangerous,
so let's get further back!
[37:47] Crowd
How long are we going to be stuck here?
[37:51] Crowd
Everyone's holding on.
I'm sure help is coming.
[37:59] Hachiko
Kagari!
[38:00] Kagari
Oh, Hachi.
[38:02] Hachiko
Thank goodness you're okay!
[38:03] Yuya
I guess everyone's here, huh?
[38:04] Kagari
Yeah, somehow.
[38:05] Iseya
Looks like the warning I sent out
to evacuate made it in time.
[38:09] Kagari
You did that, Boss?
[38:10] Hachiko
That explosion was closer!
[38:11] Kagari
Then you knew this would happen?
[38:13] Iseya
More or less.
[38:15] Kagari
Wow... I had no idea.
[38:18] Iseya
You have great judgment in the moment,
[38:21] Iseya
but predicting several moves ahead
is another matter.
[38:23] Kagari
S-Sorry...
[38:24] Iseya
That was supposed to be praise!
[38:26] Kagari
Huh?
[38:27] Iseya
What you have is what a mapper needs.
[38:29] Iseya
Isn't that right, Yuya?
[38:32] Townsperson A
Isn't that over by the drugstore...?
[38:34] Townperson B
They're really going crazy.
[38:37] Iseya
If you worried about who would use
the maps you make, and how...
[38:40] Iseya
That'd only make your info less clear.
[38:45] Iseya
What you need is the state of mind necessary
[38:48] Iseya
to simply depict things how they really are.
[38:51] Yuya
Things... how they really are.
[38:52] Kagari
That reminds me, Yuya.
[38:54] Kagari
Your maps of the Mushikui Cavities around here
were just about finished, right?
[38:59] Yuya
Yeah.
[39:00] Kagari
But that tunnel from your place
wasn't on the map at all.
[39:06] Kagari
Why's that?
[39:10] Kuchinawa
The tears...
[39:12] Kagari
Kuchinawa?
[39:14] Iseya
And now the players are all here.
[39:17] Kuchinawa
It's so pitiful... and such a shame.
[39:21] Kuchinawa
I know you're not at fault, and yet...
[39:30] Iseya
Ah, so that's their play.
[39:35] Ete
All right, folks! Simmer down and listen up!
[39:39] Ete
Got it?
[39:40] Ete
Starting tomorrow, you folks are gonna be
doing business with the Ishizaru family.
[39:45] Ete
No objections, I take it? Of course not!
[39:48] Ete
Ain't that right?!
[39:50] Yuya
Mr. Iseya...
[39:52] Yuya
I need you to stay put.
[39:56] Kagari
Yuya...?
[39:59] Yuya
Put down your weapons, please.
[40:02] Ete
Hey, kid, you're still here?
[40:05] Iseya
Be prepared for the worst...
[40:08] Iseya
Isn't that what I told you, Kagari?
[40:11] Ete
Damn! Hand grenades...
[40:12] Kagari
R-Right, but—
[40:14] Iseya
This is what I meant.
[40:17] Kagari
Wait, what?!
[40:17] Yuya
Enough jokes!
[40:19] Yuya
And I'd hold off on any
bluffs, if I were you.
[40:21] Iseya
There's no need for all that intensity.
[40:23] Iseya
All I'm saying is...
[40:25] Iseya
I had noticed you'd been up
to something for a while now.
[40:28] Ete
Hey!
[40:28] Ete
Somebody grab this guy!
[40:30] Ete
Gotta say, kid, you really landed
a big one! You've earned a reward!
[40:33] Yuya
In that case, I'd like to ask
for a bit of time.
[40:36] Yuya
I want to arrange a deal
with the librarian here.
[40:38] Ete
The librarian?! This is him...?
[40:41] Subordinate
What kinda business?
[40:42] Iseya
Was there something you needed?
[40:42] Ete
Eh, just wait.
[40:43] Subordinate
Got it.
[40:44] Yuya
Information, obviously.
[40:46] Iseya
Information, huh...
[40:48] Yuya
Something that would command
your highest price...
[40:51] Yuya
Yeah. The kinda thing a big shot
would pay out the nose for.
[40:55] Iseya
I see your game.
[40:57] Iseya
I think you might have
overestimated me, though.
[41:01] Yuya
Don't play dumb.
[41:02] Yuya
Not when you knew about the Aburamushi.
[41:04] Iseya
Well, what're you gonna do with it?
[41:08] Iseya
Having info you're not sure of the value of
can be more trouble than—
[41:13] Yuya
I am sick and tired of this box garden!
[41:17] Yuya
I'm gonna go somewhere better,
where I'll climb my way to the top.
[41:21] Yuya
And I'll do anything to make that happen!
[41:24] Kagari
Yuya...
[41:28] Yuya
Kagari.
[41:30] Yuya
Do you... want to come with me?
[41:39] Kagari
Uh, well...
[41:41] Kagari
Are you... huh?
[41:44] Yuya
I'm saying it's time
[41:45] Yuya
to leave this all behind.
[41:47] Yuya
Enough clinging to our lives
in this boring hole.
[41:53] Kagari
You're wrong about that.
[41:57] Kagari
Well, you're wrong for now, anyway...
[42:01] Yuya
Why?
[42:03] Kagari
Well, I haven't finished
my maps, for one thing.
[42:09] Kagari
Not to mention!
[42:10] Kagari
If you're going to leave, it falls to me
to chart out all the Mushikui Cavities.
[42:16] Yuya
Kagari...
[42:17] Yuya
What are you...?
[42:19] Iseya
Well, well!
[42:20] Iseya
Shot down after such a dramatic proposal!
[42:23] Iseya
How's it feel, Yuya?
[42:27] Ete
Don't let it get you down, kid!
[42:29] Yuya
I wasn't...
[42:32] Yuya
Uh, sirs!
[42:34] Ete
What's up?
[42:35] Yuya
I'm... gonna get going.
[42:37] Yuya
If I could get paid for my maps...
[42:40] Ete
Boy, you seem to have gotten the wrong idea.
[42:44] Yuya
But I've only received the down payment—
[42:46] Evacuee A
Hey, old-timer. You all right?
[42:48] Ete
It's thanks to your maps that
everything came together nicely.
[42:48] Ete
Well, yeah.
[42:49] Evacuee A
C'mon, don't die on us.
[42:52] Ete
Which is why I'm gonna give you the chance
to buzz off without getting hurt.
[42:57] Yuya
But that's...
[42:59] Iseya
I must say, the Ishizaru family
lives up to their reputation!
[43:03] Iseya
It seems they've no interest in doing
business with a child like you.
[43:07] Ete
You, librarian,
I'm willing to hear out, though.
[43:09] Kagari
Kuchinawa...
[43:10] Ete
The boss said as much!
[43:12] Iseya
Well, I am an info broker.
[43:15] Iseya
So it will depend on how much
you're willing to pay, good sir.
[43:19] Kuchinawa
The Aburamushi...
[43:20] Yuya
Don't brush me off!
[43:21] Yuya
I know the chief will understand.
[43:26] Ete
He gave you one of those? Guess the boss
is nicer than I gave him credit for.
[43:31] Ete
I'm impressed.
[43:32] Yuya
That's right. So...
[43:34] Yuya
I'm gonna talk to him in person!
[43:36] Ete
Suit yourself, kid!
[43:39] Kagari
Yuya!
[43:40] Ete
Everyone else, stay where you are!
[43:42] Ete
We still need hostages, after all.
[43:46] Kuchinawa
Oh, my dear child.
[43:48] Kuchinawa
How you must've suffered.
How mortifying it must have been!
[43:52] Kuchinawa
You had the potential to become anything!
[43:55] Kagari
Kuchinawa!
[43:56] Kuchinawa
A hero that would've defended the people...
[43:58] Kuchinawa
A god of war that would've
wiped out their enemies!
[44:02] Ete
You trying to get turned
into rat food, old-timer?!
[44:08] Iseya
I don't think that's necessary.
[44:11] Iseya
The rats have already taken the bait.
[44:18] Ete
What the hell?!
[44:20] Iseya
Which means that now...
It's the rat exterminator's turn.
[44:25] Iseya
Wouldn't you agree, Professor Kuchinawa?
[44:34] Ishizaru Members
Down it goes!
SIGN Cigarettes
[44:46] Ishizaru
Looks like we're just about done.
[44:49] Ishizaru
All right, pull Unit 3 back.
[44:52] Ushiro
Already, sir?
[44:54] Ishizaru
Do you realize how much we paid
the Mujina for these things?!
[44:56] Ishizaru
Besides, we've just about got them in check.
[45:03] Shiba
Hey, the big gun you mentioned...
[45:06] Eiwajima
They pulled it back?
[45:07] Hazuki
Boss! It's the park!
[45:09] Eiwajima
What's going on?
[45:10] Hazuki
W-Well...
[45:11] Comms
I haven't been able to reach them!
[45:14] Hazuki
And there've been explosions
heard in its direction, too.
[45:18] Eiwajima
Explosions...
[45:24] Ete
Somebody do something about that geezer!
[45:26] Underling 1
Y-you got it!
[45:29] Ete
Damn it all! Go around him!
[45:35] Kuchinawa
Sasara, my dear!
[45:37] Kuchinawa
Wake the rest of the family!
[45:45] Hachiko
Everyone! Hurry!
[46:01] Iseya
So that's the rat-exterminating machine
named Ushigaeru.
[46:07] Kuchinawa
Now...
[46:08] Kuchinawa
Let's begin.
[46:56] (Flashback) Teriyasu Security A
Are you all right, Professor?
[46:58] (Flashback) Teriyasu Security B
I need some backup over here!
[47:00] (Flashback) Teriyasu Security A
Got it! I'm on the way!
[47:02] (Flashback) Teriyasu Security A
The eastern corridor should be clear.
Please, evacuate.
[47:05] (Flashback) Kuchinawa
Why...?
[48:29] Subordinate 2
We're getting outta here!
[48:30] Subordinate A
Run for it!
[48:31] Subordinate 3
Here it comes!
[48:32] Subordinate 4
Wait for me!
[48:55] Shiina
We're out of options.
[48:58] Shiina
I'll distract it.
[49:00] Candy Shop
You mean to say...
[49:02] Shiina
I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
[49:04] Candy Shop
But...
[49:06] Shiina
It's fine.
[49:07] Shiina
Just run to the exit.
[49:11] Shiina
Over here!
[49:13] Shiina
That's right. I'm not running or hiding.
[49:19] Shiina
H-Hey! Not yet!
[49:22] Shiina
Not that way!
[49:32] Candy Shop
Why?!
[49:46] Candy Shop
Now what?!
[49:52] Shiba
Damn it! We're done for.
[49:54] Eiwajima
Wanna get in there and try one
last time to take 'em down?
[49:57] Hazuki
H-Hey!
[49:58] Hazuki
Something... Something's headed this way!
[50:02] Eiwajima
What is it?
[50:15] Ishizaru Mobs
What are those things?!
[50:16] Ishizaru Mobs
They're coming from above! Look out!
[50:17] Eiwajima
Wow.
[50:18] Eiwajima
Just like he said it would happen.
[50:22] Ishizaru Leader
What the hell is this, now?
[50:25] Subordinate
I dunno.
[50:26] Fleeing Subordinates
Everybody run!
[50:28] Shibainu Member
Now, rush 'em!
[50:35] Shiba
Down I go!
[50:43] Hayatora
I think our arrangement here
has come to an end.
[50:46] Hayatora
"Taihei" might mean "peace"...
SIGN Taihei
SIGN Taihei
[50:48] Hayatora
But we'll see how they live up
to that name after this.
[50:54] Minions
We're done for!
[50:55] Minions
Run for it!
[50:56] Ishizaru
Hey, all of you! Hold it! Come on!
[50:56] Minions
Help!
[50:59] Yuya
Chief!
[51:00] Yuya
It's me, Yuya!
[51:03] Yuya
I'm here to get paid for the maps I sold you.
[51:06] Ishizaru
Get lost, kid!
[51:09] Yuya
But you couldn't have drawn up
your plan without my maps...
[51:12] Ishizaru
It was you, wasn't it?!
[51:13] Ishizaru
Did you tip them off about this?!
[51:15] Yuya
I'd never try and double-deal like that!
[51:18] Ishizaru
Do something already!
[51:22] Ishizaru
Oh, come on! Where do you think
you're going?! Get back here!
[51:30] Yuya
S-Stop...!
[51:31] Yuya
I've got this!
[51:32] Ishizaru
You twit!
[51:34] Ishizaru
That toy I gave you was just for show!
[51:39] Yuya
It's a toy...?
[51:41] Yuya
Ow!
[52:14] Yuya
I'm sorry...
[52:17] Kagari
Yuya!
[52:21] Kagari
Hurry and grab it, Yuya!
[52:25] Yuya
I can't...
[52:27] Yuya
The Aburamushi is nearby.
[52:30] Yuya
Leave me behind.
[52:34] Kagari
I couldn't...
[52:35] Yuya
Please!
[52:38] Yuya
Hurry...
[52:40] Kagari
You were gonna go someplace better...
[52:44] Kagari
What... What about the part where
you wanted me to come with you?!
[52:51] Kagari
Yuya!
[52:59] Kagari
Almost there!
[53:13] Hazuki
Kagari did what?!
[53:15] Hachiko
Someone saw her go inside.
[53:17] Hachiko
Maybe she was going after that Yuya guy...
[53:19] Hazuki
You think it might lead to a Mushikui Cavity?
[53:21] Iseya
That's exactly it.
[53:23] Iseya
It's a maze down there. And it's still
too dangerous to go and grab a map.
[53:28] Hazuki
You think we should just leave her?
[53:29] Iseya
Those tunnels are the girl's own garden.
[53:31] Iseya
I say... we should trust her.
[53:34] Kagari
Yeah, I think we'll be fine.
[53:36] Kagari
It won't be able to follow,
as long as we use the narrower paths.
[53:41] Yuya
You're amazing.
[53:42] Yuya
I think even if I noticed these side routes,
I'd just forget about them and move on.
[53:47] Kagari
That seems like such a waste...
[53:49] Yuya
A waste?
[53:50] Kagari
Yeah.
[53:51] Kagari
I remember when we were exploring
down here together. It was fun.
[53:55] Yuya
You remembered...
[54:01] Kuchinawa
My children! It's time we returned home.
[54:05] Kuchinawa
Old soldiers never die...
[54:07] Kuchinawa
Let us return whence we came!
[54:13] Kagari
Okay, we should be safe.
[54:15] Yuya
I'm not so sure about that.
[54:21] Yuya
Run!
[54:24] Yuya
I remembered, too! Up ahead should be...
[54:26] Kagari
The shaft...!
[54:41] Kagari
Yuya!
[54:43] Kagari
We'll use this!
[55:02] Police Sergeant
All right, everybody stay where
they are! Come along quietly!
[55:05] Shiba
Hey, officer!
[55:08] Shiba
I think you might have shown up late!
[55:10] Police Sergeant
What?!
[55:11] Shiba
I'm just saying,
we're more or less done already.
[55:15] Corporal
Master Sergeant... It happened again.
[55:19] Corporal
No piece of the action for us this time.
[55:22] Shiina
Stow the complaints, Corporal.
[55:24] Shiina
It's a bit odd how smoothly
this came together,
[55:27] Shiina
but we can leave it to them for now.
[55:29] Shiina
Right, Candy Shop?
[55:30] Candy Shop
Seems like being in the secret service doesn't
leave a lot of room for the spotlight.
[55:36] Shina
That's just how it is, I think.
[55:41] Shina
I knew it...
[55:44] Shina
Never mind. All right, Corporal,
let's pull out of here.
[55:48] Corporal
Right!
[55:49] Corporal
Attention!
[55:50] Corporal
Our detachment will be
withdrawing immediately!
[55:55] Police Sergeant
I take it you're the Komainu representative?
[55:58] Eiwajima
Yes, sir.
[55:59] Police Sergeant
We've just got a few questions,
if I could trouble you for a while...
[56:05] Eiwajima
I know.
[56:07] Eiwajima
Hey! Iseya the librarian!
[56:12] Eiwajima
I'm gonna step out for a bit. You handle
things around here in the meantime.
[56:17] Eiwajima
All right?
[56:20] Iseya
Fine! You stray rat.
[56:24] Yuya
Kagari.
[56:26] Yuya
Why'd you save me?
[56:29] Yuya
I'm... a traitor.
[56:35] Kagari
Why, indeed?
[56:38] Hachiko
Kagari!
[56:39] Hazuki
Whoa, you're okay!
[56:41] Hachiko
What a relief!
[56:42] Kagari
Remember what you said before,
about wanting to get out of here?
[56:47] Yuya
Uh... Y-Yeah.
[56:49] Kagari
Well, then...
[56:50] Kagari
If you do leave, I don't want you
to stop making maps.
[56:58] Kagari
I guess that's weird to ask?
[57:00] Yuya
But why?
[57:01] Kagari
Well, it's...
[57:04] Kagari
It's because...
[57:06] Kagari
I love your maps, Yuya!
