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.

    Ain't found him yet.

    Where are you paying me

[01:09] Saki

    Don't blame me, Osaki-san.

    They haven't paid me yet.

[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

    "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?

    I don't give a damn. Pay me, now.

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
    Will! Will! Will!
[05:29] Chiko
    Huh? Your will?
[05:31] Saki
    Yup. I'm short on cash. I'll do it.

[05:44] Saki
    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!

    let them kidnap you, either!

[05:57] Zaka
    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.

    Culverts, lignite mine shafts,
    unfinished subway lines.

    An underground world dug out
    without any kind of plan.

[16:05] Soutarou

[17:07] Soutarou
    I'm afraid that's not an option anymore.

    Take care of the talky one for me, thanks.

[17:57] Old Man
    I didn't understand why
    we had to give up our homes
[18:00] Old Man
    so they could dig a tunnel underground,
[18:03] Old Man
    but I guess they actually
    dig out the tunnel from above,
[18:07] Old Man
    put up the walls, and then bury it again.
[18:11] Old Man
    So if you look at the map real close, you
    can figure out the shape the tunnels take.
[18:16] Old Man
    Huh? Did they pay me for my property?

[18:45] Watch-seller
    There. All fixed.

    Huh? Oh, yeah.
[18:51] Watch-seller
    Well, don't.
[18:52] Watch-seller
    They're in a bad mood right now.

    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?

    Hold it, hold it. I'm not going to hurt you.

    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!

[20:03] 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?

    Hey, what are you doing there?
[20:33] Cop
    I-It's one of the Laughing Masks!

    Halt! You're under arrest!

    Halt, damn it!

    Halt, I said!

    Let's split up! I'll go right!

    You tricked me!

    Stop right there!

    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.

[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.

    I ain't forgotten what you did at Kobata.

[27:04] Tanne
    Yes, that's correct.

    It's an honor to meet you,

    I'm told you and my young ones
    got into quite a tussle.

    We happened to pass by as they were behaving

[27:27] Tanne
    I'm here to discuss our main job.

    Discuss?
[27:31] Otafuku
    After humiliating us like this?
    Listen to me, girl...

    I'd like your cooperation
    with our investigation.

    We can take a look at the scene, too.

    Of course, I'm taking the kid home.

    I'll ask one more time.

    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.

    They aren't somebody you could
    win a fight against, anyway.

    No, that's fine.

    and much more haunted.

    What?
[30:36] Soutarou
    And if I'm not wrong, you're its master.

[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.

[48:05] Soutarou
    My dad disappeared right after that.
[48:10] Soutarou
    Maybe he went after them?
[48:13] Tanne

[00:35] Shiina
    Mappers?
[00:36] Captain
    Right.
[00:37] Captain
    They're a type of info broker who go running

    Supposedly even into holes like this.

    Hi there!
[05:07] Candy Shop
    You're saying you need
    a map of the Mushikui Cavity?
[05:11] Shiina
    One that includes the abandoned

[05:13] Candy Shop
    The mappers I know are all pretty crooked,
    so I'm not sure I can recommend them...
[05:19] Shiina
    I see.
[05:21] Shiina
    Well, I wasn't expecting it
    to be that easy, anyway.
[05:24] Candy Shop
    It might be faster to just
    contact the folks down below.
[05:28] Shiina
    I don't think so. The rumors say
    they've been infiltrated by Mujina.
[05:31] Candy Shop
    What're you gonna do, then?
[05:33] Shiina
    Keep looking around, for now.
[05:35] Shiina
    I'll be staying in town
    for the time being...
[05:37] Shiina
    Could you recommend a place to stay?
[05:41] Candy Shop
    Depends on how much you're willing to pay.
[05:45] Kagari
    This is all...?
[05:47] Kagari
    Boss, you paid me more last time.
[05:50] Kagari
    Can't I get a little extra?
[05:53] Iseya
    Sorry, but that's the going price now.
[05:55] Iseya
    As things stand, the folks at Taihei
    are running the whole show,
[05:59] Iseya
    keeping everything nice and orderly.
[06:01] Iseya
    Which is a good thing, of course,
    but it means that maps are worth less.
[06:06] Iseya
    Not to mention, the more valuable maps would
    be too risky for a kid like you to chart out.

    But if you're willing to risk your life,

[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

[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.

    And that's what happened.

    To be honest, I'm not sure it's worth it,

    Iseya mentioned something like that.

    "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.

[11:45] Shiina
    Makes sense.

    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.
[17:07] Shooting Game Guy
    Bullseye!
[17:09] Candy Shop
    I think you'll wanna check out
    the valley again.
[17:12] Shiina
    The valley?
[17:14] Candy Shop
    Yep.
[17:14] Candy Shop
    If you want news about low places...
[17:17] Candy Shop
    Who better to ask than
    the folks who live there?
[17:19] Komainu A
    Hey! What's going on?
[17:21] Komainu B
    It's fine. Just the usual.
[17:23] Hazuki
    Come on, old-timer, isn't it
    about time you went home?
[17:27] Kuchinawa
    Go home? You don't understand a thing.
[17:30] 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.
[17:49] Kagari
    Yeah.
[17:52] Hachiko
    So! How's that Yuya boy been lately?
[18:00] Kagari
    Yuya...?
SIGN    Komainu Mineral Baths
[18:13] Kagari
    He wants to get out of here fast, huh...
[18:17] Iseya
    Somewhere life is better, eh?
[18:21] Iseya
    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?
[19:32] Iseya
    That's a good question.
[19:35] Iseya
    But the answer will cost you.
[19:38] Kagari
    After you went and got me interested?
[19:41] Iseya
    You do remember what my job is, right?
[19:44] Eiwajima
    Hey, librarian.
[19:46] Eiwajima
    I need info.
[19:47] Iseya
    Well, if isn't the stray rat.
[19:49] Iseya
    What brings you to my establishment?
[19:51] Eiwajima
    You, calling me a rat? That's rich.
[19:55] Eiwajima
    I'm not here for chitchat
    this time. I'm a customer.
[19:59] Eiwajima
    Representing the Komainu.
[20:03] Iseya
    Regarding the subsidences?
[20:04] Eiwajima
    Yeah.
[20:05] Eiwajima
    The meeting hall and our tool storage...
[20:07] Eiwajima
    along with the western guardhouse.
[20:10] Eiwajima
    A lot of our facilities
    have been hit in the last two weeks.
[20:13] Iseya
    I've heard.
[20:15] Iseya
    It's almost funny how obvious it is
    that someone's pulling the strings.
[20:19] Iseya
    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
    One other thing...
[21:38] Iseya
    I'm gonna be closing for the day, so if
    you could flip the sign on the outside...
SIGN    Closed For Today
[21:46] Shiina
    Excuse me.
[21:49] Shiina
    I'm looking for a used book
    store called Kanra-do...
[21:52] Shiina
    Do you know where it is?
[21:53] Kagari
    Oh, it's actually a private library
    named Iseya now.
[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,
[22:26] Kagari
    so you'll wanna cross over to
    the opposite side, in front of it.
SIGN    Park
SIGN    Pump
[22:31] Shiina
    I see.
[22:32] Shiina
    I appreciate the advice.
[22:34] Shiina
    This isn't much, but you can have it.
SIGN    Tsurukame Caramel

[22:36] Kagari
    Thanks...
[22:38] Kagari
    Now's the time to sell?
[22:41] Yuya
    Yeah.
[22:42] Yuya
    Even if they're not complete.
[22:44] Yuya
    With the way things are going,
    you'll get a better price.
[22:47] Kagari
    But I wanted to chart all
    of the Mushikui Cavities.
[22:50] Yuya
    You sure it's not time to wrap this job up?
[22:53] Kagari
    You think?
[22:55] Yuya
    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...?
[23:03] Yuya
    Yeah. Better than being buried down here.
[23:06] Yuya
    Kagari. Do you want to come with me?
[23:11] Kagari
    S-Sure...
SIGN    Komainu Mineral Baths
[23:26] Kagari
    And I realized...
[23:29] Kagari
    I haven't heard from Yuya
    since that recent sinkhole.
[23:35] Iseya
    I see.
[23:37] Iseya
    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...
[23:58] Iseya
    You may have made the right call taking
    things easy with the recent troubles, though.
[24:04] Iseya
    That's an important instinct
    for a mapper to have.
[24:07] Kagari
    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.

    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

[29:29] Guide
    There's been no shortage of looters

    And in the ten years since the pump
    was installed, we've kept it safe.

    Ten years?

    The facility looks rather...
    weathered, considering.

[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.

    I may owe your friend a debt...

    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.

    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

[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.

    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

    but it looks like some

    But there's no need for
    secrecy at this point.

    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.

    But I never would've thought one
    would be found in this town.
[34:05] Iseya
    Quite the surprise.

    Well, if I told you any more,

    No. That sound...
[34:35] Guide
    Hey, what was that?
[34:37] Worker
    Seems like there's smoke
    coming from the valley.

    What?! We need to know what it is!
[34:48] Shiina
    This signal...

    Take that!

    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!
