[00:30] Hayato
Hyoma...
[00:44] Hayato
Run, Hyoma!
[00:46] Hayato
He's...
[01:14] Hayato
R-Run!
[01:20] Kusui
Hi-kun!
[01:30] Hyoma
Big Sister! Big Brother!
[01:53] Zohei
"Marebito."
[01:55] Zohei
A name given to entities from the land of the
dead—a foreign realm where souls run rampant—
[01:59] Zohei
which find their way
to the land of the living.
[02:12] Zohei
Though fundamentally spiritual beings,
[02:15] Zohei
they're capable of possessing old inanimate
objects to manifest a physical form.
[02:21] Zohei
And in this form, they are known by
a more familiar name in Japan—
SIGN Tsukumogami
SIGN An inanimate object that
develops a spirit of its own
[02:28] Zohei
"Tsukumogami."
[02:31] Old Coin B
Saenome...
[02:34] Hyoma
Correct.
[02:36] Hyoma
Enforcer of House Kunato,
one of the three Saenome Houses...
[02:40] Hyoma
Kunato Hyoma.
SIGN Malevolent Spirits
SIGN Hyoma
[04:24] Zohei
I see.
[04:26] Zohei
You ended up in our world by chance,
[04:29] Zohei
possessed this old coin,
[04:31] Zohei
and got yourself a physical body.
[04:33] Zohei
That must have been very confusing for you.
[04:36] Police B
It sounds like he's just
hearing his life story.
[04:41] Police A
Just keep watching.
[04:42] Police A
He's protecting law and order in our city
[04:45] Police A
from these things that defy
our ideas about what is normal.
[04:53] Zohei
I can take custody of your spirit a while,
SIGN Kunato
[04:56] Zohei
then return you to the world you came from.
[05:00] Zohei
If that sounds acceptable,
could you come down to my level?
SIGN Kunato
[05:29] Zohei
The possessing spirit
is sealed in the vessel.
[05:32] Zohei
I'll hold a memorial for it later,
and that should be that.
[05:37] Police A
Bravo!
[05:40] Zohei
Possessions like that of the old coin
you witnessed, rookie,
[05:44] Zohei
are typically kept hidden
from the general population,
[05:46] Zohei
but it's been happening
in the shadows for ages.
[05:49] Police B
Uh-huh...
[05:53] Zohei
Sounds like we've got a skeptic.
[05:55] Police A
Kunato-san is part of a clan that's been
[05:57] Police A
entrusted to deal with tsukumogami
by the government for generations.
SIGN Department of Exorcisms
Marebito Management Office
"Saenome"
7th Head
Kunato Zohei
[06:01] Police A
They're called the Saenome.
[06:04] Police B
Saenome?
[06:07] Zohei
Looking forward to working with you, rookie.
[06:09] Police A
Well, you'll get used to it in time.
[06:12] Police B
Right...
[06:13] Police A
Oh, Kunato-san.
[06:15] Police A
How's your grandson?
[06:17] Police A
He went after the other.
You don't think he was attacked?
[06:21] Zohei
Oh, no! He's quite the professional, too!
[06:23] Zohei
Besides, we talk these
things out when we can.
[06:26] Zohei
It's best to talk things out
and reach a peaceful resolution!
[06:29] Zohei
Professionalism means resolving things
with as little conflict as possible!
SIGN Kunato
SIGN Kunato
[07:09] Police B
Talking things... out?
[07:11] Police A
Would you call that... a peaceful resolution?
[07:14] Zohei
I guess that was talking...
in the language of battle.
[07:18] Zohei
Don't hesitate to contact us if
any more tsukumogami appear.
[07:22] Zohei
Honestly...
[07:26] Zohei
Hello?
[07:28] Zohei
It's me, Zohei.
[07:31] Zohei
Sorry for the short notice,
[07:34] Zohei
but I need to talk to you about my grandson.
[07:37] Zohei
I thought it might help him if he
could stay with you for a while.
[07:42] Zohei
Mind having a look at him?
[07:48] Hyoma
The target hadn't been
a tsukumogami for long.
[07:51] Hyoma
If it didn't know how to take
a proper human form,
[07:53] Hyoma
it wouldn't know how to use that form well.
[07:56] Hyoma
That also meant it might
not know its own strength.
[08:00] Hyoma
I therefore judged it best to strike quickly
and seal it, to prevent potential damage.
[08:06] Hyoma
My actions might have been violent,
but that comes with the Saenome territory.
[08:12] Hyoma
As future head of the Kunato Family,
I did the right thing.
[08:16] Zohei
All wrong!
[08:19] Zohei
Why do you always get ahead
of yourself, you little punk?
[08:24] Hyoma
May I ask what you mean?
[08:31] Zohei
It's what I'm always telling you.
[08:33] Zohei
Using force has to be our last resort.
[08:36] Zohei
Marebito have basically been
dragged here against their will.
[08:41] Zohei
They start out disoriented.
[08:43] Zohei
Even after becoming tsukumogami,
they all act in different ways.
[08:48] Zohei
I agree there are some troublemakers,
[08:51] Zohei
but some just want to go home,
and others want to blend in here.
[09:00] Zohei
The job of the Saenome is to
hear them out and guide them.
[09:06] Zohei
But when I see you...
[09:12] Zohei
Every single time you find your target,
you attack them, no questions asked,
[09:15] Zohei
and seal them against their will!
[09:18] Zohei
You cause unnecessary conflict!
[09:22] Hyoma
I can brush that off easily.
[09:25] Zohei
That's not the solution!
[09:31] Hyoma
I believe I'm doing the right thing.
[09:35] Hyoma
These creatures can turn
on you without warning.
[09:40] Hyoma
Reaching out to them carelessly
can bring fatal consequences.
[09:43] Hyoma
I saw it once with my own eyes.
[09:52] Zohei
Hyoma.
[09:53] Zohei
You still haven't shaken off
your hatred of tsukumogami?
[09:58] Hyoma
No.
[10:03] Zohei
You certainly made that crystal clear.
[10:06] Zohei
You're too preoccupied with the past.
[10:09] Zohei
Listen to me, Hyoma.
[10:11] Zohei
I thought you were strong
enough to grow past that.
[10:16] Zohei
Because, as my grandson,
you're my pride and joy.
[10:22] Zohei
But you just never seem to listen!
[10:25] Zohei
So I'll have to resort to drastic measures.
[10:28] Hyoma
Huh?
[10:32] Zohei
Yes, sorry to call again.
[10:35] Zohei
I'd like to go with what
we discussed after all.
[10:39] Zohei
Sorry for all the trouble.
[10:41] Zohei
I'll owe you one.
[10:43] Zohei
All right, Hyoma-san.
[10:46] Zohei
Are you aware of the existence
of "special exceptions"?
[10:48] Hyoma
Yes.
[10:49] Hyoma
Tsukumogami allowed a measure of freedom
[10:52] Hyoma
in exchange for conditions we assign them.
[10:55] Hyoma
Though I've never met one personally.
[10:58] Zohei
Correct.
[11:00] Zohei
The truth is, I happen to know one—
the person I was just talking to.
[11:08] Zohei
Actually, more than one...
[11:09] Zohei
It's a whole group of tsukumogami,
living as a family.
[11:13] Zohei
And...
[11:15] Zohei
Serving a particular human master, at that.
[11:19] Hyoma
Humans and tsukumogami, living together?
[11:21] Hyoma
Is that possible?
[11:23] Zohei
Yes.
[11:24] Zohei
And Hyoma, regarding the
drastic measures I mentioned...
[11:29] Zohei
In two days, under the pretense
of monitoring them,
[11:32] Zohei
I'll be having you stay there for a while.
[11:37] Hyoma
Wait—
[11:37] Zohei
Denied.
[11:39] Zohei
I told you these were drastic measures.
[11:41] Zohei
Because...
[11:44] Zohei
If you don't change, the only way
this ends is with your self-destruction!
[11:47] Zohei
If you refuse my offer, you'll be stripped
of your Saenome qualifications!
[11:50] Zohei
If you don't want that,
you'd better start packing!
[12:00] Zohei
Why is this happening to me?
[12:03] Zohei
It would be one thing if all tsukumogami
were willing to talk things out,
[12:08] Zohei
but as long as there's even a
chance of violent retaliation...
[12:13] Zohei
We need to deal with them
before they can hurt anyone.
[12:16] Zohei
Isn't that the wisest course of action?
[12:27] Zohei
I'll take this along.
[12:31] Hayato
Hyoma!
[12:32] Kusui
Hi-kun!
[12:53] (Flashback) Zohei
The head of your host family,
the Nagatsuki Family, is named Botan.
[12:58] (Flashback) Zohei
She'll be about your age.
[13:01] (Flashback) Hyoma
Nagatsuki Botan?
[13:03] (Flashback) Zohei
Hyoma, I think interacting with them
day-to-day will be good for you.
[13:09] (Flashback) Zohei
It's very rare to find tsukumogami who
coexist with humans for an extended period.
[13:14] (Flashback) Zohei
I want you to find what's at
the heart of that relationship,
[13:16] (Flashback) Zohei
and see, for the first time,
the nature of tsukumogami.
[13:24] Hyoma
All right. Let's try it.
[13:30] Top Tsukumogami
Why...
[13:31] Top Tsukumogami
Why are you hunting your fellow tsukumogami?
SIGN Proxy
[13:38] Yu
Why?
[13:49] Suzuri
Because that's what we do.
[13:51] Suzuri
Might be time to head back.
[13:53] Yu
Understood.
[13:58] Nagi
Oh, crap.
[13:59] Nagi
I forgot the freeloader was coming today.
[14:01] Nagi
Who's at the house now?
[14:03] Kagami
Um... Haori and Kushige?
[14:07] Nagi
So, just the shifty-looking weirdos?!
[14:19] Haori
Would you be the Kunato Hyoma-san
whom we were told would be coming?
[14:22] Haori
I am watching the house
while my mistress is away.
[14:25] Haori
My name is Haori.
SIGN — Haori —
[14:28] Haori
This is Kushige.
SIGN — Haori —
SIGN — Kushige —
[14:31] Hyoma
A pair of tsukumogami...
[14:33] Hyoma
They look shifty.
[14:38] Hyoma
Is Nagatsuki Botan not present?
[14:40] Teacher
All right, let's end it here.
[14:43] Kei
What is it, Bon-chan?
[14:44] Teacher
We'll do the next chapter next week,
so make sure it's fresh in your mind by then.
[14:44] Botan
I totally spaced out on something.
[14:47] Botan
Maybe I'll ditch third period today.
[14:48] Teacher
And don't forget to turn in your report.
[14:51] Haori
Our mistress is a student,
and currently away.
[14:56] Hyoma
I see.
[14:57] Haori
However...
[14:59] Haori
Excellent timing.
[15:01] Haori
Everyone else has now arrived.
[15:22] Kagami
I'm really sorry we're late, Haori-chan.
SIGN — Kagami —
[15:25] Suzuri
Well... it seems like he only
just showed up, though.
SIGN — Suzuri —
[15:30] Yu
And Botan is at college as usual.
SIGN — Yu —
[15:34] Nagi
So this is the Kunato problem child, eh?
SIGN — Nagi —
[15:39] Haori
Now, now, Nagi.
[15:41] Haori
Let's not be rude.
[15:43] Haori
As you can see, this is House Nagatsuki,
[15:46] Haori
consisting of six tsukumogami
and our mistress, Botan.
[15:50] Haori
Many things about it may be foreign to you,
but you are welcome here.
[15:57] Hyoma
Let me make myself clear:
[16:00] Hyoma
I despise tsukumogami.
[16:06] Hyoma
Inhuman things taking human form,
[16:08] Hyoma
using your deceptions to get close to us...
[16:11] Hyoma
You can't be trusted.
[16:18] Suzuri
B-But the point of this is
to work together, right?
[16:22] Hyoma
I'll just be observing you from a distance.
[16:25] Hyoma
So I don't need any sort of welcome from you.
[16:29] Nagi
Listen to this nerd!
[16:33] Nagi
You think we give a damn about that?
[16:35] Nagi
Give us a break.
[16:37] Nagi
Or are you just venting on us
because you're stressed?
[16:41] Hyoma
I'm more suspicious that you're using
this Botan person for your own ends.
[16:51] Nagi
Take that back.
[16:54] Hyoma
Not a chance.
[17:03] Hyoma
I thought so. An experienced combatant.
[17:05] Nagi
I'm not taking this kid's crap!
[17:08] Nagi
You guys stay outta this!
[17:10] Yu/Suzuri/Kagami
Okay...
[17:13] Haori
You're allowing it?
[17:15] Haori
Well, it's just a minor quarrel.
[17:18] Haori
He's a good boy.
[17:20] Haori
He came clean instantly, after all.
[17:25] Nagi
Don't worry, I won't kill ya.
[17:36] Nagi
But a whack from the flat
of a sword still hurts!
[17:40] Hyoma
Swords?
[17:42] Hyoma
The ability to change form
based on the possessed vessel...
[17:45] Hyoma
That's the unique power of the tsukumogami.
[17:49] Hyoma
When used to attack, it can be
extremely dangerous to humans.
[17:54] Nagi
Time to cry!
[17:59] Hyoma
Troublesome.
[18:02] Suzuri
He's up for it.
[18:04] Hyoma
I understand that you're a friend of my master.
[18:08] Hyoma
So I'll match your promise.
[18:11] Hyoma
I won't destroy you.
[18:15] Nagi
I gotta say...
[18:21] Nagi
You've got guts, kid!
[18:36] Suzuri
He broke it?!
[18:38] Kagami
No, he erased it.
[18:40] Kagami
I think that's a power of the Saenome,
[18:45] Kagami
those chosen by Saenokami,
guardian of the boundary.
[18:52] Nagi
Neat.
[19:13] Kagami
Amazing!
[19:14] Suzuri
He's anticipating Nagi's every move.
[19:17] Yu
Nagi's not taking it seriously yet.
[19:20] Yu
But neither is he.
[19:24] Nagi
Well, kid? Give me your best shot!
[19:38] Hyoma
I said I wouldn't destroy you.
[19:40] Nagi
Damn you...
[19:52] Yu
Haori!
[19:55] Yu
Botan's skipping her third period
class to come home early!
[20:00] Haori
What? Wait, what time is it now?
[20:03] Yu
1:10 PM.
[20:04] Haori
Then she'll be here any moment now!
[20:11] Kagami
Boys, boys! Please stop fighting!
[20:14] Nagi
Shaddap, Kagami!
[20:16] Kagami
I'm sorry!
[20:28] Nagi
Not bad at all.
[20:33] Haori
Time to resort to force!
[20:36] Haori
Everyone, restrain them both.
[20:46] Hyoma
Hey...
[20:49] Nagi
Um...
[20:50] Suzuri
Whoops.
[20:51] Kagami
O-Oh? Did we all go after Hyoma-san?
[20:55] Yu
K-Kushige sat it out, at least.
[20:59] Nagi
Um... I feel kinda bad about that.
[21:04] Hyoma
Tsukumogami truly... can't be trusted.
[21:17] Hyoma
It's a pleasure... to make your acquaintance.
[21:20] Hyoma
I'm Kunato... Hyoma.
[21:26] Botan
Um... I'm Nagatsuki Botan.
[21:30] Botan
So... you guys?
[21:34] Botan
How did this happen?
[21:38] Botan
Nothing to say for yourselves?
[21:41] Zohei
Tsukumogami exist in this world.
[21:44] Zohei
This is the tale of a girl who loves them,
[21:46] Zohei
a boy who hates them,
[21:49] Zohei
and the others who get involved
in their shared life together.

[00:00] Botan
Er... I really am sorry about your
poor treatment so soon after arri—
[00:05] Hyoma
No matter.
[00:06] Hyoma
It was the result of my own carelessness.
[00:09] Botan
Huh?
[00:12] Botan
Um...
[00:13] Botan
But the others really were—
[00:15] Hyoma
The initiation of hostilities was mutual.
[00:17] Botan
You really aren't mad?
[00:19] Hyoma
Not at all!
[00:22] Botan
He looks really mad!
[00:24] Haori
I think that's how he looks all the time.
[00:30] Botan
I received your request to stay here with us.
[00:34] Botan
I heard you were a young... Saenome?
[00:36] Botan
And that you were doing this
to learn more about tsukumogami.
[00:40] Botan
The period is one year.
[00:41] Botan
Fortunately, we have rooms to spare,
[00:43] Botan
and since the request came
from a friend of Haori's,
[00:45] Botan
as long as you respect
the rules of the household,
[00:47] Botan
you're free to make yourself at home.
[00:51] Botan
Do you have any questions for me?

[02:37] Hyoma
She doesn't look like she has enough grit
to command a group of six tsukumogami.

Shouldn't there be a sixth tsukumogami here?
[02:47] Kagami
Nagi, you mean?
[02:48] Kagami
He's right here.
[02:50] Nagi
Why... Why am I the only one tied up?!
[02:52] Botan
What was that, Nagi?
[02:54] Nagi
It was Haori and the others who did it!
[02:56] Nagi
They beat him up when they stopped the fight!
[02:59] Botan
The fight between Kunato-san... and whom?
[03:03] Nagi
Me.
[03:04] Botan
See?
[03:05] Botan
You think about what you did.
[03:06] Nagi
Hold on! I've got work to—
[03:09] Botan
Ahem.
[03:10] Botan
Any other questions?
[03:12] Hyoma
Perhaps she does have grit.
[03:15] Hyoma
Well, then...
[03:17] Hyoma
Your manner of speaking suggests that,
while you know of the existence of tsukumogami,
[03:23] Hyoma
you are unfamiliar with the Saenome.
[03:26] Botan
Yes, that is true.
[03:29] Hyoma
My apologies.
[03:31] Hyoma
The Saenome are humans
empowered by Saenokami,

the guardian god of the border between

[03:39] Hyoma
We're like the police
of the tsukumogami world.
[03:42] Hyoma
From that perspective, I'd like to give
my opinion about your present situation.
[03:49] Hyoma
It's untenable.
[03:52] Hyoma
Tsukumogami aren't like us.
They're a breed of monster.
[03:57] Hyoma
Treating them like family
is unthinkably dangerous.
[04:01] Hyoma
In practice, I've seen significant harm
triggered from their association with humans.
[04:06] Hyoma
Their superior intelligence and power
[04:08] Hyoma
lead them to view humans as disposable.
[04:09] Nagi
That son of a...
[04:11] Nagi
We're nothin' like those jerk tsukumogami!
[04:14] Nagi
Get a damn clue!
[04:16] Hyoma
If it turns out they're toying
with you in that same way,
[04:20] Hyoma
I can't let it stand.
[04:22] Hyoma
Would you be willing to allow me
to take over this case?
[04:25] Hyoma
You can return to a normal life—
[04:30] Botan
You don't know anything about my life.
[04:35] Botan
What gives you the right to say such
presumptuous things? Such insulting things?!
[04:39] Botan
I'm sorry, but I won't allow someone
[04:42] Botan
who sees my family as monsters
to remain in my home!
[04:46] Botan
I'll admit that we treated you rudely as well,
[04:49] Botan
so I'll allow you to stay for three days.
[04:52] Botan
But if, in that period, you show
no intention of working together,
[04:58] Botan
I'll have to ask you to leave!
[04:59] Hyoma
What?!
[05:01] (Flashback) Zohei
Don't forget! If you come back early,
you'll be an ex-Saenome!
[05:06] Hyoma
W-Wait!

How can we work together?

Ask the others!

[05:25] Suzuri
You can't just make a girl cry, man.
[05:28] Kagami
Thbbt!
[05:34] Hyoma
I saw no sign that she was being manipulated.
[05:38] Hyoma
She meant what she said.
[05:40] Hyoma
What did she mean by "working together"?
[05:44] Hyoma
Cooperation?
[05:48] Hyoma
With that thing's brethren?
[05:53] Nagi
Someone got an earful!
[05:56] Nagi
Lucky you! You get a whole three days!
[05:58] Nagi
Show a little gratitude for Botan's kindness.
[06:01] Hyoma
What do you want? To resume our fight?
[06:03] Nagi
Stupid. If we did that,
you'd get kicked out on the spot!
[06:10] Nagi
Actually, I was thinking...
[06:11] Nagi
This might be a great chance
to work together.
[06:15] Hyoma
What?
[06:17] Nagi
Mind hanging out with me for a while, kid?
[06:22] Haori
You seem disheartened.
[06:24] Botan
I am.
[06:26] Botan
I know I got upset, but that deadline
might have been a little too harsh.
[06:31] Haori
It's fine! Your anger was entirely justified.
[06:34] Haori
Hyoma-san's straightforwardness
makes his issues very transparent.
[06:39] Haori
He's straightforward in
the entirely wrong direction.
[06:42] Haori
Why not just wait a while
and see what happens?
[06:46] Botan
Okay...
[06:50] Botan
I'm going to have to see him at dinner!
[06:54] Haori
Kunato Hyoma... I hope to see soon...
[06:58] Haori
whether you're worthy or not.
[07:02] Hyoma
Hold it.
[07:04] Hyoma
You want me to help you with your business...
hunting down your own kind?
[07:09] Nagi
Yep.
[07:10] Nagi
I just got a request to seal
a rogue tsukumogami.
[07:15] (Flashback) Zohei
The conditions under which
[07:16] (Flashback) Zohei
the six tsukumogami are declared
special exceptions and allowed to run free
[07:19] (Flashback) Zohei
are that they follow local
Saenome requests for aid.
[07:25] (Flashback) Zohei
They are "Saenome Proxies"
who hunt their own kind.
[07:31] Nagi
I'm not feeling 100% after
being tied up like that.
[07:35] Nagi
Help me out a little,
[07:36] Nagi
and I'll tell Botan you acted like a decent guy.
[07:41] Hyoma
You want me to help you
skip out on your work?!
[07:43] Nagi
Nah, it's "working together."
[07:47] Nagi
But either one's fine by me.
[07:51] Hyoma
Infuriating!
[07:53] Hyoma
His irresponsible attitude makes it
harder to accept his existence!
[07:59] Hyoma
Why must I work with these creatures?
[08:03] Hyoma
You seem unconcerned
about hunting your own kind.
[08:09] Hyoma
Is it your lack of a soul that makes
it feel like a simple job to you?
[08:13] Nagi
Actually...
[08:14] Nagi
It makes other tsukumogami groups in
the land of the living hate us and shun us.
[08:19] Nagi
It's a damned dirty business.
[08:23] Nagi
But all we wanted
[08:25] Nagi
was to be with her.
[08:28] Nagi
So that's what we do.
[08:32] Nagi
You got anything like that in your life?
[08:44] Nagi
If not, what's it matter
if you get sent back home?
[08:47] Hyoma
Actually... I do.
[08:50] Hyoma
That's why I can't afford
to run away from this.

So it's settled.

[09:12] Towel Tsukumogami
No... other humans are afraid of them.
[09:16] Towel Tsukumogami
They must be considered "strong."

Ah, he's already at it.

that barely detectable presence...
[09:32] Nagi
Looks like a newborn tsukumogami to me.

[09:40] Kagami
Where's Hyoma-san?
[09:41] Suzuri
Oh. Nagi dragged him out.
[09:44] Kagami
Nagi's helping him? Weird.
[09:46] Suzuri
That stuff Hyoma-san said...
[09:49] Suzuri
It was presumptuous as hell,
[09:52] Suzuri
but he said it out of
genuine concern for Botan.

I think Nagi picked up on that, just barely.

newly born into the land of the living.
[11:01] Hyoma
He's still alive.
[11:03] Hyoma
But for some reason, I'm unable
to access information about him.
[11:10] Hyoma
No matter what trials
I must endure to get there,
[11:12] Hyoma
I must become the next head

[11:16] Hyoma
If I do, I might be able to get a lead on him.

That's why, despite everything,
I was willing to accept these conditions.

I'll try my best to get along,

[11:26] Hyoma
And...

I regret making Nagatsuki-san cry.

[14:26] Hyoma
You join Nagatsuki-san
for breakfast and dinner,
[14:31] Hyoma
but tsukumogami have no need to
engage in the practice of eating.
[14:35] Hyoma
Why waste time and money
to act as if you're human?
[14:40] Kagami
We just want to know what it's like...

I find the picking up of women
personally inscrutable,

Hey there.

I'm Suzuri, and I've been appointed
your final evaluator.
[15:56] Yagen
There's three of you?
[15:57] Suzuri
The girl is my assistant, Kagami.
[16:00] Suzuri
The man is a rookie Saenome.
[16:05] Kagami
She's a type of mortar wheel tsukumogami.
[16:09] Kagami
She might be a little jumpy,
I guess you'd say.
[16:11] Kagami
She's spent a long time terrified
of being sealed away.
[16:16] Suzuri
We call it an evaluation,
[16:18] Suzuri
but I know you've already
received a job offer,
[16:20] Suzuri
so it's more like final confirmation.
[16:21] Yagen
Really?
[16:23] Yagen
I've heard rumors...
[16:25] Yagen
About tsukumogami who let their guard down,
and get sealed away by force...
[16:30] Suzuri
This isn't that.
[16:31] Suzuri
Don't worry.
[16:33] Suzuri
And I have a question for you.
[16:36] Suzuri
Why did you choose to live on this side?
[16:42] Yagen
I suppose... I feel safe here.
[16:46] Yagen
There's a nostalgic feel to this world.
[16:49] Yagen
I recognize that's a strange thing to say.

And yet...

Every now and then, we choose a vessel
that's come to have a memory of its own.
[17:00] Suzuri
The mortar wheel that became your vessel
[17:02] Suzuri
might have felt at peace with its old life.

That feeling of comfort transferred into you.
[17:10] Suzuri
I see.

That's a perfectly suitable reason to remain.

Don't worry.

crucial part of the process,

My special property kept you from killing me,

from doing further harm.
[20:42] Suzuri
All's well that ends well, I'd say.

[21:09] Kagami
She loves the land of the living

[21:14] Kagami
Thank you.

Suzuri told me to pass on the message
[21:19] Kagami
that you stopped when you
saw the look in her eyes.
[21:24] Hyoma
I said I'd try my best,
and I didn't want to make myself a liar.

[07:13] Yui
The way you carry yourself,
so brimming with loathing...
[07:17] Yui
And most of all...
[07:21] Yui
The way you hurt my mistress.
[07:26] Yui
You have two options regarding my signature.
[07:31] Yui
One is to give up on receiving it.
[07:33] Yui
The other is...
[07:48] Yui
Defeat me here,
[07:51] Yui
and take it by force.
[07:55] Yui
In other words, "might makes right."
[07:57] Yui
The latter seems simpler and more decisive.
[08:05] Yui
Shall we proceed with that?
[08:17] Hikaki
Spirit energy. They're close!
[08:22] Hikaki
That's them for sure... the Nagatsuki!
[08:26] Suzuri
Nagi, is that...
[08:28] Nagi
Yeah.
[08:30] Nagi
Yu's let herself get completely distracted.
[08:33] Nagi
If she's really lost her temper,
Hyoma could be in trouble.
[08:39] Nagi
Patrol time is over.
[09:11] Hyoma
Is that...
[09:17] Hyoma
A pin for binding up hair?
[09:27] Yu
Don't just run away.
[09:29] Yu
By all means, fight back.
[09:31] Yu
Strike the hated tsukumogami
down without a second thought.
[09:35] Yu
Isn't that how you've
always done it in the past?
[09:39] Hyoma
I was sent here under orders
to change that about myself.
[09:46] Yu
Were you?
[09:58] Yu
I saw no sign of that in
your demeanor the first day.
[10:09] Yu
Your bloodthirsty true self,
hostile to everything around you...
[10:13] Yu
Why not reveal it?!
[10:44] Yu
Even now, you won't fight back?
[10:49] Hyoma
Kunato Zohei told me to watch you.
[10:54] Hyoma
I've been around you for two days.
[10:57] Hyoma
Indeed, I'm starting to realize...
[11:01] Hyoma
There's something different
about the lot of you.
[11:05] Hyoma
I'm starting to feel it would be premature
to fight you until I figure out what that is.
[11:21] Yu
Tch.
[11:23] Yu
I see that this is a waste of time.
[11:31] Haori
I've been watching your grandson
in the two days since he arrived,
[11:37] Haori
and I think that he can safely remain here.
[11:39] Haori
That is, assuming he can
surmount this day's challenge...
[11:44] Haori
But are you truly certain
this is what you want?
[11:48] Zohei
What do you mean?
[11:49] Haori
To overcome and accept means...
[11:54] Zohei
It might be necessary for both of them.
[11:58] Zohei
But there is one thing.
[12:01] Zohei
His burden of darkness
[12:04] Zohei
is far darker than it may first appear.
[12:08] Zohei
He's quite a handful as grandsons go,
[12:11] Zohei
but I do hope you'll watch over him,
[12:14] Zohei
Haori-san.
[12:16] Haori
There's nothing I wouldn't do for Kunato Zohei.
[12:20] Yu
So? What now?
[12:23] Yu
If you won't force my hand,
will you give up and leave?
[12:30] Hyoma
Half of the day remains.
[12:33] Hyoma
A suitable amount of time in which to bond.
[12:39] Yu
What makes him so confident?
[12:42] Hyoma
Still, the rage you felt toward
someone who made light of a friend...
[12:48] Hyoma
That's a very human reaction.
[12:51] Hyoma
You love Nagatsuki-san, don't you?
[12:58] Yu
I...
[13:00] Yu
I...
[13:03] Yu
How could you say that to me?!
[13:10] Hyoma
What are you doing?!
[13:15] Hikaki
Found us a Nagatsuki!
[13:18] Nagi
Yu! Calm down!
[13:23] Hikaki
This little...

[13:26] Suzuri/Kagami
Hyoma-san?!
[13:34] Hikaki
What's this, now?
[13:42] Hikaki
Well, ain't that interesting...
[13:45] Hikaki
Did you come here just to see us?
[13:49] Hikaki
Couldn't ask for a better chance
to crush your whole crew.
[13:53] Nagi
What was that, you cocky rooster wannabe?
[13:58] Nagi
Hey, Yu.
[13:59] Nagi
What's going on here?
[14:02] Nagi
What're these guys so pissed about?
[14:06] Nagi
What'd they come after you for?
[14:10] Nagi
What did you do?
[14:12] Yu
Don't be absurd, you gorilla.
[14:14] Yu
I'd just finished my duel with Hyoma-san
when they arrived without warning.
[14:18] Yu
Just like the lot of you.
[14:20] Nagi
I see.
[14:21] Suzuri
So they were fighting...
[14:23] Nagi
So you were with Hyoma? Where is he now?!

[15:01] Nagi
Shut up! I'll apologize later!
[15:05] Yu

[15:08] Nagi
Looks like your run-of-the-mill

[15:11] Nagi
Just gotta take 'em out, right?
[15:14] Hikaki

[15:54] Haori
Kushige, let's head out for a while.
[15:57] Haori
I heard from Kagami.
[15:59] Haori
Hostile tsukumogami interrupted their patrol.
[16:02] Haori
That's not unusual in and of itself,
[16:05] Haori
but I'm curious as to the
mettle of the attackers.
[16:09] Haori
It might reveal to us the core
of Hyoma-san's character.
[16:17] Kaginawa
I'm in range!
[16:19] Kaginawa
Die!
[16:24] Suzuri
I can't let that happen. Sorry.
[16:40] Koyori

[16:47] Kagami

[16:48] Kagami
Someone's moving around inside the building!
[16:59] Yu
You...
[17:09] Hikaki
What, is that the best you've got?!
[17:12] Hikaki
Seems like serving human masters
all day might've made you soft!
[17:16] Nagi
No need for trash talk. As Saenome proxies,
we'll gladly give you all we've got.
[17:23] Nagi
But I want to confirm one thing...
[17:27] Nagi
You ordered your comrades to kill the human,
[17:30] Nagi
and they showed no hesitation
to follow that order.
[17:35] Nagi
Does that mean you've killed humans before?
[17:40] Hikaki
Oh, we got bored of that
little game long ago!
[17:45] Hikaki
We don't like how humans
exploit the objects we possess,
[17:49] Hikaki
so we had a little fun with 'em!
[17:51] Hikaki
Talk about a letdown, though!
[17:53] Hikaki
Every single one just
started cryin' in seconds!
[17:56] Hikaki
Where's the fun in that?!
[17:59] Hikaki
Seeing the lot of you pal around with
those weaklings... it pisses me off!
[18:09] Hikaki
What was that?!
[18:10] Nagi
Hyoma!
[18:16] Yu
Is he... trying to extract himself?
[18:26] Hikaki
K-Kill him!
[18:28] Hikaki
He might be kinda tough!
[18:49] Suzuri
He broke him.
[18:51] Suzuri
Is it that power again?
[18:57] Hyoma
I see.
[19:00] Hyoma
Your gang...
[19:03] Hyoma
They've killed humans?!
[19:40] Hikaki
You're pretty awesome...
[19:43] Hikaki
Just like us... right?
[19:47] Hikaki
You love killing. You enjoy it!
[19:51] Hikaki
It's written on your face!
[19:53] Hyoma
Yes, that's right.
[19:57] Hyoma
It's what I've wanted for so long.
[20:02] Hyoma
Tsukumogami like you...
[20:05] Hyoma
This time, I'll destroy you.
[20:09] Hyoma
I'll destroy you...
[20:10] Hyoma
and this time...
[20:14] Hyoma
protect them!
[20:20] Haori
I see.
[20:22] Haori
So that's the core of Hyoma-san.
[20:26] Haori
The resentment and hatred
he feels truly does run deep.
[20:31] Haori
It's constant and unabating.
[20:36] Haori
Yes... I'm sure he sees all of
us tsukumogami the same way.
[20:41] Haori
That we bring nothing but harm
to the land of the living.
[20:47] Haori
But...
[20:48] Haori
I'm seeing the first signs of change here.
[20:53] Haori
If so, then Zohei-san might be right.
[20:56] Haori
His twisted heart could yet be corrected.
[21:01] Haori
But more importantly,
[21:02] Haori
he could represent hope to us.
[21:13] Haori
He might just
[21:18] Haori
be able to save her.
[21:25] Haori
Once, there was a girl
saved by tsukumogami...
[21:29] Haori
And a boy from whom they took everything.
[21:34] Haori
Does it not make sense that
the ones to bring them together
[21:37] Haori
might be tsukumogami, as well?
[21:39] Haori
The bond it is in our nature to forge...
[21:44] Haori
I'm glad that we took Hyoma-san on.
[21:50] Haori
They might make a good match.

[05:20] Haori
Would you join us in the great hall?

It regards an arrangement
I made with Zohei-san
[05:29] Haori
in exchange for taking Hyoma-san in.
[05:32] Hyoma
What?
[05:33] Haori
We of the Nagatsuki tsukumogami
share a single purpose.
[05:38] Haori
The request to have you stay here aligned
perfectly with our motivations in that regard.
[05:46] Haori
We agreed to allow you
to observe us for one year,
[05:51] Haori
and made a request of Zohei-san in turn.
[05:56] Haori
That we, too, would be allowed
to spend the year evaluating you.
[06:04] Botan
Wait! Not again—
[06:07] Yu
Quiet now.
[06:10] Hyoma
I don't understand.
[06:12] Hyoma
Why would you want to do that?
[06:15] Hyoma
And why reveal it now?
[06:19] Haori
We intended to spend the year evaluating
whether or not we find you worthy.
[06:24] Haori
But you've made us do something
fairly similar in just three days.
[06:29] Haori
So I thought the time was ripe
to reveal everything to you.

And so we have a purpose

isn't something I can agree to so easily.

However, it would be disrespectful to

[09:28] Hyoma
Therefore, I will defer judgment for now.

quite a lovely young woman,
[12:45] Zohei
so I couldn't think of any reason to re—
[12:52] Hyoma
I see.
[12:55] Suzuri
Business? With Haori?
[12:57] Hyoma
Yes.
[12:58] Hyoma
I wish to engage her in earnest discussion.
[13:00] Hyoma
Do you know where I might find her?
[13:02] Suzuri
She's out with Kushige.
[13:05] Kagami
She could be gone for days.
[13:08] Hyoma
A business trip?
[13:09] Suzuri
Yeah, she takes them sometimes.
[13:12] Hyoma
Did Nagi and Yu accompany her?
[13:14] Suzuri
No, they're doing the usual business.
[13:26] Suzuri
Apparently that Hikaki guy
had more people in his gang
[13:29] Suzuri
than what we saw the other day.
[13:34] Hyoma
Why aren't I out with them now?!
[13:38] Suzuri
I thought you were calling home.
[13:42] Botan
Oh? Hyoma-san?
[13:46] Botan
I thought you went out with Nagi and Yu!
[13:48] Hyoma
No, I was left behind.
[13:52] Hyoma
Are you going shopping?
[13:54] Botan
Oh? Yes...
[13:57] Kagami
Hush!
[14:02] Botan
Um...
[14:05] Botan
Hyoma-san, I...
[14:10] Botan
You, uh, don't have to worry
about any of that stuff they said.
[14:13] Botan
I know it's just a huge bother...
[14:14] Hyoma
Indeed.
[14:17] Hyoma
It is a huge bother.
[14:19] Hyoma
You can be assured that I haven't
given it a moment's concern.
[14:29] Botan
I see.
[14:35] Botan
Great.
[14:36] Botan
I'm glad to hear you're not worried about it.
[14:39] Botan
But I really do feel bad
for the trouble, so... sorry!
[14:43] Botan
Anyway, I really need to
get that shopping done.
[14:46] Hyoma
Understood.
[14:57] Suzuri
Hyoma-kun.
[15:03] Suzuri
What you did just now wasn't great.
[15:07] Hyoma
I merely spoke the truth.
[15:10] Suzuri
You could've been more sensitive.
[15:12] Suzuri
To turn down a girl her age
with total indifference...
[15:17] Suzuri
You can't see how cruel that is?
[15:21] Suzuri
I'm a pretty calm guy, but when I see
you hurt my mistress like that...
[15:24] Suzuri
Can you see how much it pains me?
[15:28] Suzuri
Meanwhile, Kagami's crying her eyes out!
[15:31] Kagami
You suck, Hyoma-san!
[15:34] Kagami
You don't have to be so mean!
[15:38] Kagami
Botan was really hurt by that!
[15:40] Suzuri
Go! Get him!
[15:42] Hyoma
Botan was hurt?
[15:46] Hyoma
Wait a minute.
[15:47] Hyoma
Can you explain what you mean by that?
[15:59] (Flashback) Hyoma
It is a huge bother.
[16:03] Botan
Hearing him say it that clearly,
[16:07] Botan
I guess I can trust that
he's not stressing out about it.
[16:11] Botan
Which is a good thing, but...
[16:14] Botan
If it's a good thing,
why does it bug me so much?
[16:21] Hainarashi
Well, well. Isn't this a find?
[16:30] Hainarashi
Are those lackeys of yours
busy elsewhere, perhaps?
SIGN — Hainarashi —
[16:35] Hainarashi
Would you be Nagatsuki Botan, then?
[16:40] Nagi

[16:44] Tsukumogami A
Right about now, our boss'll have found
his way to that powerless mistress of yours!
[16:50] Tsukumogami A
What now?
[16:51] Tsukumogami A
You guys care about her, don't you?
[16:54] Tsukumogami A
What'll you do, eh?!
[17:02] Nagi
Damn it!
[17:03] Yu
Botan!
[17:12] Hainarashi
Your family did a number on
that "little brother" of mine...
[17:17] Hainarashi
I've been looking for you.
[17:19] Hainarashi
Would you be willing to come with me?
[17:21] Botan
You're a tsukumogami too, aren't you?
[17:25] Hainarashi
You've seen your share of us, then?
[17:27] Hainarashi
You certainly have some backbone.
[17:29] Hainarashi
But I can also see you trembling.
[17:33] Hainarashi
Is this all you are?!
[17:36] Hainarashi
There's a kind of unwritten law among
the tsukumogami who live in Kyo...
SIGN Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan
[17:42] Hainarashi
"Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan."
[17:46] Hainarashi
Was that merely a precaution to keep us away?
[18:03] Hainarashi
I am Hainarashi.
[18:05] Hainarashi
My only power as a tsukumogami
is the ability to scatter ash, but...
[18:12] Hainarashi
I can still tear a human apart easily enough!
[18:28] Hyoma
Are you all right, Nagatsuki-san?
[18:31] Hainarashi
Are you...
[18:33] Hainarashi
a Saenome?!
[18:36] Hainarashi
Child... Know your place!
[18:41] Nagi
Found 'em!
[18:43] Nagi
You dumbass!
[18:46] Nagi
You're gonna pay for this!
[18:49] Botan
Nagi! Yu!
[18:51] Nagi
We're good to go, right?
[18:53] Yu
Of course!
[18:54] Nagi
Heck yeah!
[18:56] Yu/Nagi
Get him!

Wait!

H-Hey!
[19:14] Hyoma
I'd like an honest answer.
[19:17] Hyoma
Did you actually try to eliminate
me while I was vulnerable?
[19:22] Nagi
No, but...
[19:26] Yu
Are you all right, Botan?!
[19:30] Yu
Were you hurt? Did you sprain anything?!
[19:33] Botan
I... I'm okay!
[19:35] Yu
You're sure? Let me see...
[19:36] Nagi
I was pretty mad. And I'm sorry.
[19:40] Nagi
And I gotta thank you.
[19:42] Botan
I'm okay!
[19:44] Nagi
You saved Botan.
[19:47] Nagi
Guess I owe you one.
[19:51] Nagi
Time to head back.
[19:53] Yu
Why?!
[19:54] Nagi
You just left the decoys
wrapped up in your hairpins!
[19:59] Yu
Botan!
[20:06] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[20:09] Botan
Thank you... for saving me.
[20:13] Hyoma
I merely did the duty of the Saenome.
[20:17] Botan
But... what were you doing here?
[20:21] Kagami
Go after her! Make her feel better now!
[20:22] Hyoma
Kagami requested that I follow you.
[20:27] Botan
She heard all that?!
[20:30] Hyoma
I'm sorry, Nagatsuki-san.
[20:32] Hyoma
The way I spoke in the hallway
was conducive to misunderstanding.
[20:39] Hyoma
Given your reaction to the reveal
of the arranged marriage agreement,
[20:42] Hyoma
it was clear, even to me,
that the idea upset you.
[20:46] Hyoma
I could tell they've been making trouble
for you in this regard for some time.
[20:52] Hyoma
So I simply wanted to tell you...
not to be overly concerned on my behalf.
[21:01] Kagami
I hope he cleared things up with her, Suzuri.
[21:05] Suzuri
How can anyone be so bad
at expressing themselves?
[21:09] Hyoma
And my grandfather was enthusiastically
complicit in the arrangement...
[21:13] Hyoma
But I don't want you to think I lack
any feeling or interest toward you at all.
[21:22] Hyoma
Er... that's not to say I have interest
toward you... That would sound strange.
[21:26] Hyoma
Ah, why is that strange? What have I said?
[21:32] Botan
Hey, Hyoma-san...
[21:35] Botan
It sounds like...
[21:38] Botan
It sounds like we both have
relatives who like to meddle.
[21:42] Botan
It's a pain, huh?
[21:47] Hyoma
Indeed it is.

Damn it, Hyoma!
[00:03] Nagi
Get back here, you asshole!
[00:05] Suzuri
Isn't it a little too early for yelling?
[00:08] Nagi
H-Hey, Suzuri!
[00:09] Nagi
Put a stop to this nonsense!
[00:12] Hyoma
It isn't nonsense.
[00:14] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-san was attacked. This is a fact.
[00:17] Hyoma
Therefore, as a protective measure,
[00:19] Hyoma
I must apply these around the mansion
and its surrounding area!
[00:22] Hyoma
These talismans
[00:25] Hyoma
will immediately paralyze most tsukumogami
entering their area of effect.
[00:29] Hyoma
They're a Saenome secret weapon!
[00:31] Nagi
What are you, stupid?!
[00:32] Nagi
That shit's powerful enough
to give humans the shakes, too!
[00:36] Hyoma
Really?
[00:37] Nagi
Besides, the mansion's safe.
[00:39] Nagi
Kushige put a barrier up!
[00:42] Hyoma
No one mentioned that to me.
[00:45] Hyoma
But the truth is...
[00:46] Nagi
What?!
[00:48] Nagi
Did you already set them up outside?!
[00:50] Hyoma
I believed it was for the best!
[00:51] Nagi
Take 'em down! Now!
[00:53] Suzuri
So much energy.
[00:55] Suzuri
Meanwhile, I'm way more worried
about Kushige and Haori.

Given who it was that issued the invitation...

It's an open question whether
they'll even make it back safely.

Hey there, you two.

Nice to see you.

I feel like I'm a little too old
for an invitation like this.
[03:02] Zohei
It didn't feel that way the last time we met.
[03:06] Zohei
How long has it been?
[03:08] Haori
Sixteen years, of course.
[03:11] Haori
But you look as young and dynamic
as ever to me, Zohei-san.
[03:15] Zohei
You do flatter me, Haori-san.
[03:18] Zohei
And you're as laconic as ever, Kushige.
[03:24] Zohei
I'd love to catch up,
[03:28] Zohei
but we should save that for the after-party.
[03:30] Zohei
That is...
[03:32] Zohei
Assuming we're in any shape
for it after we leave here.

It's my second time meeting him...

[03:45] Haori
Our last encounter was a brutal one.
[03:49] Haori
The first thing to look out for is
[03:51] Haori
a surprise attack to serve as a greeting.
[04:07] Zohei
Hey, now...
[04:12] Zohei
You really need to...
[04:14] Zohei
find a new way of saying hello already.

Saenome documents say he first
appeared early in the Edo Period...
[05:50] Haori
That he started out as a special
exception to fight with them,
[05:54] Haori
but then, fearful of his power,
[05:56] Haori
they sealed him behind a barrier created by
the shrine fence tsukumogami, Itsuki.

I called you here because
I heard some very interesting news...

you could be held captive

I knew it.

[07:13] Hyoma
A shame. I felt so sure they were necessary.
[07:16] (Flashback) Nagi
They affect humans with
a strong sixth sense, too!
[07:19] (Flashback) Nagi
You're supposed to be protecting Botan,
but you're just gonna upset her, man!
[07:26] Hyoma
It is curious, though.
[07:28] Hyoma
A tsukumogami with a grudge against them
attempted to take Nagatsuki-san hostage.
[07:34] Hyoma
This should have been a predictable
consequence of their actions,
[07:37] Hyoma
yet they haven't resorted
to measures like this.
[07:40] Hyoma
They must have great confidence
in whatever defenses they have.
[07:47] Hyoma
Or is there something about Nagatsuki-san
herself that makes protection unnecessary?
[07:54] Hyoma
It occurs to me that
I know very little about her.
[08:02] Hyoma
Yes.
[08:04] Hyoma
Only three remain now.
[08:10] Hyoma
What in the world...
[08:14] Kai
He sounds very interesting.
[08:16] Kai
Hyoma, his name was?
[08:19] Kai
I see...
[08:20] Kai
So you sent him to the Nagatsukis
not for training, but for reformation.
[08:27] Kai
A man, heart frozen by hatred...
[08:30] Kai
Could the warmth of a simulated
family free it from its icy prison?
[08:33] Haori
Hey! Don't sleep yet!
[08:35] Kai
In other words, can the deepest darkness
of the human heart be expunged?
[08:41] Kai
Would that be your thesis?
[08:44] Kai
But you must be cautious.
[08:47] Kai
Regardless of your reasons,
[08:49] Kai
you've sent a third party to Nagatsuki Botan.
SIGN Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan
[08:58] Kai
"Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan."
[09:01] Kai
You surely know the meaning
of this unwritten law.
[09:06] Kai
The potential that lies within her could be
a boon to either human or tsukumogami.
[09:13] Kai
She therefore cannot be allowed
to take either side.
[09:18] Kai
"The head of the Saenome and
Nagatsuki Botan's attendant tsukumogami
[09:25] Kai
have conspired to send a subordinate
to woo her to their side..."
[09:31] Kai
Some may find that
interpretation... convincing.
[09:35] Kai
If so, something may occur.
[09:40] Hyoma
Impossible.
[09:41] Hyoma
It's been burned away.
[09:43] Hyoma
Which means the talisman activated,
but its power was superceded.
[09:56] Haori
I recognize the need to offer
a full account to others...
[10:01] Haori
But I was afraid it might trigger
a fight for a share of Botan's power.
[10:10] Kai
It's a matter that requires great patience.
[10:12] Kai
Though I believe others will
already be jumping the gun...
[10:25] Kai
But at least it's entertaining,
so it's a welcome turn for me.
[10:32] Aogi
Hey, you.
[10:34] Aogi
You know who put up that talisman?
[10:40] Aogi
Or maybe... it was you?

They're...
[10:47] Hyoma
stronger than most.
[10:50] Aogi

I was wondering why I suddenly felt sick.
[11:01] Yu
I happened upon a rather bizarre barrier.
[11:04] Yu
Is it crime prevention month
and I simply forgot?
[11:06] Nagi
Actually, that was Hyoma
running off half-cocked.
[11:11] Nagi
We're in the process of taking 'em down now.

[11:38] Kai
We'll have to call a recess.
[11:40] Itsuki
Very well.
[11:42] Itsuki
By the way,
[11:43] Itsuki
shouldn't you have pressed them harder?
[11:45] Itsuki
That story they told...
[11:47] Itsuki
They're still hiding something from you.
[11:52] Kai
I suspected as much.
[11:54] Kai
It seems they'd already taken
my warning into account.
[11:59] Kai
They welcomed a foreign presence
into the Nagatsuki Household,
[12:02] Kai
even knowing the risk it would incur.
[12:05] Kai
But there's no need to rush.
[12:08] Kai
It's important to enjoy the process.
[12:13] Kai
Set up a network to watch for activity.
[12:16] Kai
If anything happens,
I'd like a front-row seat.
[12:27] Aogi
Haven't seen that sort of talisman
around here before.
[12:31] Aogi
Figured it had to have been
stuck up there by some newcomer.
[12:37] Aogi
We're looking for a guy named Kunato.
[12:41] Aogi
We've got quite a few questions for the guy.
[12:44] Aogi
So...
[12:46] Aogi
Would that be you, then?
[12:48] Hyoma
If they're aware of my presence,
[12:51] Hyoma
they must be monitoring movements
around the Nagatsuki household.
[12:55] Hyoma
Which suggests they're allied
with the tsukumogami
[12:58] Hyoma
with a grudge against the Nagatsuki ones.
[13:03] Aogi
Hey. You listening?
[13:06] Hyoma
Their numbers are vast, then.
[13:08] Hyoma
They could prove a real
threat to Nagatsuki-san.
[13:13] Aogi
Hey!

I'm from the government office.
[13:17] Hyoma
I'm investigating reports of a
curious new barrier in the area.
[13:21] Hyoma
I'm not the person you're seeking.
[13:24] Aogi
Eh?
[13:25] Hyoma
Do you know anything about
the person who put them up?
[13:29] Hyoma
"Kunato," you said?
[13:32] Aogi
No... nothing in-depth.
[13:35] Hyoma
I see. Thank you.
[13:39] Hyoma
Farewell.
[13:40] Aogi

[14:12] Aogi
Oh, no...
[14:13] Aogi

[14:16] Aogi
You made two mistakes here.
[14:18] Aogi
One was failing to land your strike on me.
[14:21] Aogi
The other...
[14:23] Aogi
was failing to finish off Uchiki-kun.
[14:43] Aogi
Well? Cooled your head a bit?
[14:51] Yu
That's right. He did save Botan earlier.
[14:57] Yu

[16:00] Aogi
You can't reach the core.
[16:06] Aogi
Uchiki-kun?! No killing, now!
[16:09] Aogi
We've still got to question him!
[16:16] Hyoma
I haven't been here long.
[16:19] Hyoma
I don't know the vulnerabilities of the
tsukumogami hunters you hate so much.
[16:24] Hyoma
You're wasting your time!
[16:26] Hyoma
And even if I knew them, I'd never tell you!
[16:32] Aogi
You're not really the listening type, are you?
[16:35] Aogi
You're stupid, aren't you?
[16:37] Aogi
Or are you playing dumb?
[16:39] Aogi
Everything you say is so far off the money.
[16:46] Aogi
We're asking about you.
[16:49] Aogi
Don't lie, or you'll regret it.
[16:52] Aogi
Entering the Nagatsuki household
like a bolt from the blue...
[16:56] Aogi
What exactly are you after?
[17:00] Aogi
Do the Kunato seek the power
that Nagatsuki Botan...
[17:04] Aogi
that the yorimashi holds?
[17:06] Hyoma
Yorimashi? Power?
[17:09] Aogi
The Nagatsuki tsukumogami,
who are supposed to be neutral,
[17:13] Aogi
have sold that power to the Kunato.
[17:16] Aogi
Am I wrong?
[17:18] Aogi
If it's true, it means
they broke the rules first.
[17:23] Aogi
It'll mean all-out war breaking out
among us for Nagatsuki Botan.
[17:28] Aogi
So? Why not tell me already?
[17:34] Hyoma
Interesting.
[17:36] Hyoma
I've never met tsukumogami like you before.
[17:40] Hyoma
You're using psychological warfare—
[17:42] Hyoma
lies designed to confuse me—
in order to catch me unawares.
[17:47] Hyoma
But I've been doing this
too long to be deceived!
[17:53] Aogi
You really don't like listening, do you?!
[18:07] Hyoma
I see no reason to heed
the lies of tsukumogami.
[18:11] Hyoma
But I've learned one thing from this.
SIGN Kunato
[18:14] Hyoma
You have your sights set on Nagatsuki-san.
[18:17] Hyoma
Which means...
[18:20] Hyoma
Seeing as you intend to
attack an ordinary citizen,
[18:22] Hyoma
I'm duty-bound to seal you!
[18:24] Hyoma
And I will do my duty!
[18:27] Aogi
An ordinary citizen?
[18:29] Aogi
You're talking about Nagatsuki Botan?
[18:34] Aogi
Eh?
[18:36] Aogi
You seriously don't kno—
[18:38] Yu
He came here to learn from us
as the next head of the Kunato.
[18:43] Yu
He's currently a guest under
the guardianship of the Nagatsuki.
[18:49] Yu
If you stir up any more trouble
with these false accusations,
[18:51] Yu
we're going to have a problem, Aogi.
[18:55] Aogi
Yu...
[18:56] Hyoma
How did you know we were here?
[19:04] Yu
I followed the scraps
of burned-out talismans...
[19:07] Yu
And look what a troublesome scene I've found.
[19:10] Yu
But Aogi...
[19:13] Yu
If you've learned what you need to know,
you should probably leave.
[19:17] Yu
Shouldn't you?
[19:23] Aogi
Yeah, I'm getting nowhere here.
[19:26] Aogi
Doesn't look like he'll
give up anything useful.
[19:31] Hyoma
You won't escape!
[19:34] Yu
Didn't I tell you?
[19:36] Yu
Any more escalation and we'll have a problem.
[19:38] Yu
Their methods may be extreme,
but their actions are permitted.

[19:54] Yu
Their primary duties are internal
investigations and intelligence gathering.
[20:00] Yu
I'm forced to wonder who hired them today.
[20:03] Aogi
Correct.
[20:05] Aogi
It seems looking for ulterior motives
in him is a waste of time.
[20:10] Aogi
For now, I'll have to buy your explanation—
that it's for training—and withdraw.
[20:15] Aogi
Besides...
[20:18] Aogi
Someone's been watching us for a while.
[20:25] Aogi
I'll admit I went too far,
[20:27] Aogi
but I won't apologize.
[20:28] Aogi
This is the job, after all.
[20:31] Aogi
Although...
[20:32] Aogi
I've received requests to investigate what
Kunato is doing at the Nagatsuki Household
[20:36] Aogi
from both humans and tsukumogami.
[20:39] Aogi
There are many eyes on you.
[20:42] Aogi
You'd better watch your backs.
[20:46] Yu
Honestly...
[20:48] Yu
It's constant trouble.
[20:52] Hyoma
I could have beaten them.
[20:54] Hyoma
I'd figured out how to beat Uchiki,
[20:57] Hyoma
and I was an equally able fighter.
[20:59] Hyoma
Two against one?
[21:00] Hyoma
Not an issue.
[21:02] Hyoma
Once one was locked down,
I could have easily beat the other.
[21:05] Hyoma
Had the fight continued, I would have won.
[21:08] Hyoma
Ow!
[21:09] Yu
Calm down.
[21:13] Yu
You're clearly in bad shape.
[21:14] Yu
I'll retrieve the other talismans.
[21:18] Yu
Now we're even.

Welcome home, Haori!
[03:45] (Flashback) Haori
T-Take care out there.
[03:48] (Flashback) Haori
What was that?
[03:53] (Flashback) Hyoma
That "Aogi" said that Nagatsuki-san
was a "yorimashi."
[03:59] (Flashback) Hyoma
I believe it is necessary for me to
ascertain the meaning of this term.
[04:04] (Flashback) Haori
So you wanted to "go out"
to ask Botan more about it?
[04:07] (Flashback) Kagami
It really sounded like
you were hitting on her.
[04:11] (Flashback) Hyoma
Yes. The way he spoke...
[04:15] (Flashback) Hyoma
He made it sound like there was
something about Nagatsuki-san
[04:17] (Flashback) Hyoma
that fundamentally attracts the inhuman.
[04:22] (Flashback) Hyoma
As a Saenome, I feel it
is crucial to protect her.
[04:26] (Flashback) Hyoma
If there's a reason she's under threat,
I must know what it is.
[04:30] (Flashback) Kagami
Wh-What should we do, Haori?
[04:41] (Flashback) Haori
Very well.
[04:43] (Flashback) Kagami
We can tell him?
[04:44] (Flashback) Haori
He's not acting out of mere curiosity.
[04:48] (Flashback) Haori
Besides, we'd have to tell him eventually.
[04:51] (Flashback) Haori
We're just speeding up the timeline.
[04:53] (Flashback) Haori
Leave this to me.
[04:57] (Flashback) Haori
Hyoma-san, prepare for an outing.
[05:01] (Flashback) Haori
I need to fix up my makeup.
[05:03] (Flashback) Haori
Would you meet me in front

[05:06] (Flashback) Haori

[05:12] (Flashback) Hyoma
What?
[05:15] Hyoma
Honestly... I was wondering
what your game was.
[05:20] Hyoma
So this is it, eh?
[05:25] Haori
Hurry! She's turning!
[05:26] Hyoma
Keep your distance, Haori!
[05:32] Haori
Aren't we less conspicuous
if we look like a couple?
[05:36] Hyoma
I'm not especially comfortable
with any of this.
[05:43] Hyoma
But I need to ask...
[05:45] Hyoma
What even is the point of
tailing her like this?
[05:48] Haori
The first thing I need you to witness
[05:51] Haori
is the world in which she finds herself,
[05:54] Haori
the scenery of her everyday life.
[05:58] Haori
Kushige's barrier encompasses the
territory of the Nagatsuki estate.
[06:02] Haori
The barrier keeps many things out.
[06:08] Hyoma
Speaking of which, is Kushige still out?
[06:17] Haori
But when she leaves the mansion,
in the outside world...
[06:22] Haori
Go on.
[06:23] Haori
Perk up your senses,
and I think you'll notice it.
[06:26] Haori
You should be able to.
[06:36] Hyoma
What in the world...
[06:38] Hyoma
The presences... no, the gazes...
of so many tsukumogami...
[06:45] Hyoma
They're all focused on Nagatsuki-san?!
[06:48] Hyoma
Not from any one direction, either.
[06:51] Hyoma
From all around her!
[06:53] Hyoma
Damn it!
[06:54] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-sa—
[06:54] Haori
Stop!
[06:56] Haori
Calm down, Hyoma.
[06:58] Haori
They're just watching.
[07:01] Haori
Breaths held, presences masked,
[07:03] Haori
they watch Botan, but go no further...
[07:08] Haori
They won't harm her.
[07:10] Haori
And she's aware of their eyes on her, as well.
[07:15] Haori
It's always been this way.
[07:17] Haori
She accepts it for what it is.
[07:20] Haori
Didn't I tell you?
[07:22] Haori
This is the scenery of Botan's daily life.
[07:26] Hyoma
That can't be...
[07:28] Haori
If you can't take that much on faith,
[07:31] Haori
then telling you any more is pointless.
[07:35] Haori

then trust what I say.

You're right.

[08:51] Natsuki
Spill your guts!
[08:53] Botan
It's nothing! I mean it!
[09:00] Haori
A tsukumogami is born when a marebito
possesses an object to serve as its vessel.
[09:07] Haori
The word "marebito" originally referred to
[09:10] Haori
a visiting god bringing blessings
from a foreign land.
[09:15] Haori
And in a way, we do have
a sort of divine power.
[09:18] Haori
What else would you call the ability to
give life and new form to inanimate objects?
[09:23] Hyoma
Fair enough.
[09:26] Haori
You can also look at it this way.
[09:29] Haori
"'Tsukumogami' is the state of
being blessed by the marebito."
[09:34] Haori
There was a person who took
this idea to its logical conclusion...
[09:37] Haori
"What if a marebito chose
a different receptacle?"
[09:42] Haori
For instance... a human?
[09:46] Haori
A marebito can bring so much power
to even the most disposable of things.
[09:50] Haori
What if one were to dwell within a human?
[09:51] Haori
Would they not receive even greater power?
[09:55] Haori
Would they become a living god that
brings its blessings to the land of the living?
[10:00] Haori
And there was a person who
decided to put that to the test.
[10:08] Haori
The word "yorimashi" refers to
[10:10] Haori
a human possessed by a god.
[10:15] Haori
Botan carries within her a marebito,
just as we tsukumogami do.
[10:22] Botan
It's so cold!
[10:24] Haori
It hasn't yet awakened.
[10:27] Haori
But it is there.
[10:31] Haori
All who learn of this inevitably seek a way
[10:35] Haori
to turn Botan's still-uncertain
blessings to their own advantage.
[10:39] Haori
Whether they be tsukumogami... or human.
[10:44] Haori
If any one of them were to
approach Botan for that purpose,
[10:47] Haori
it would be a free-for-all, wouldn't it?
[10:49] Haori
Hence the shared law—
[10:53] Haori
"Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan."
SIGN Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan
[10:57] Haori
None may actually approach her.
[11:00] Haori
Hence why they all merely
bide their time, watching.
[11:04] Haori
Of course, there's a lot of behind-the-scenes
finagling to keep everyone in check.
[11:09] Hyoma
I see.
[11:11] Hyoma
If you speak the truth, it explains
much of what Aogi said.
[11:13] Aogi
If it's true, it means
they broke the rules first.
[11:17] (Flashback) Aogi
It'll mean all-out war breaking out
among us for Nagatsuki Botan.
[11:23] Hyoma
And now, let me ask this...
[11:26] Hyoma
Where does this leave all of you?
[11:29] Hyoma
Can you swear to me that your proximity
to Nagatsuki-san has no ulterior motive?
[11:32] Hyoma
Tell me, Haori!
[11:39] (Flashback) Girl 1

[11:40] (Flashback) Girl 2

[11:44] (Flashback) Teacher
Nagatsuki-san.
[11:46] (Flashback) Teacher
She...
[11:49] (Flashback) Teacher
Botan-chan...
[11:51] (Flashback) Teacher
Sometimes I catch her just standing there,
staring into the distance
[11:54] (Flashback) Teacher
as if she's looking at something.
[11:58] (Flashback) Teacher
And whenever that happens...
[12:03] (Flashback) Teacher
Any children who are with her
suddenly become frightened.
[12:07] (Flashback) Teacher
When I ask them what's wrong, they say...
[12:13] (Flashback) Teacher
"It's so creepy."
[12:16] (Flashback) Teacher
"I feel like there are all
these eyes watching me."
[12:22] (Flashback) Teacher
As a teacher, I feel bad saying this,
[12:26] (Flashback) Teacher
but Botan-chan has this
unapproachable aura about her...
[12:43] (Flashback) Haori
Botan.
[12:47] (Flashback) Haori
Come on. Let's go home.
[12:55] Botan
Okay.
[12:59] Haori
Can I swear that our proximity
to Botan has no ulterior motive?
[13:04] Hyoma
Yes.
[13:10] Haori
That's a ridiculous question.
[13:14] Haori
Don't ask it again.
[13:19] Haori
We've watched her all this time.
[13:23] Haori
She was left in our care,
[13:26] Haori
and for the first three years,
until the aforementioned law propagated,
[13:30] Haori
she was not allowed to leave the estate.
[13:35] Haori
When she was finally allowed outside...
[13:38] Haori
Children, who naturally possess
a strong sixth sense, avoided her.
[13:43] Haori
Adults, seeing how their children acted,
also gave her a wide berth.
[13:50] Haori
The only ones who would draw near...
[13:53] Haori
were those drawn to her
marebito's power—be they human
[13:58] Haori
or monster.
[14:23] Haori
As we watched over her,
[14:26] Haori
a feeling began to take root within us.
[14:32] Haori
Not merely our feelings
as her bridal trousseau...
[14:37] Haori
But a kind of... parental love, I believe.
[14:44] Haori
It took years for her to be able to go out
without minding the eyes watching her.
[14:49] Haori
More years for her peers to
become numb to those eyes.
[14:55] Haori
And still more years for her to
be able to enjoy life with a smile.
[15:03] Haori
We have watched her all this time.
[15:07] Haori
Ulterior motives?
[15:10] Haori
I can say with confidence that we have none.
[15:20] Haori
Oh? You still have doubts?
[15:24] Haori
You know...
[15:25] Haori
Zohei-san has already given his
approval for us to stay with Botan.
[15:31] Haori
Are you questioning the judgment
of the head of House Kunato?
[15:35] Haori
Maybe I should tell him that.
[15:42] Haori
Well? What now?
[15:46] Haori
That's the entire story.
[15:48] Haori
You understand the position
she's in now, don't you?
[15:51] Haori
If you think she's more
trouble than she's worth,
[15:55] Haori
no one will object to you
returning to House Kunato.
[16:01] Hyoma
That thought never entered my mind.
[16:03] Hyoma
If I return now, I'll be exiled from the Saenome.
[16:06] Hyoma
Then I'll never achieve my goal.
[16:10] Hyoma
And...
[16:13] Hyoma
I will...
[16:16] Hyoma
I will protect her.
[16:18] Hyoma
From the moment I deemed that a necessity,
[16:21] Hyoma
leaving ceased to be an option.
[16:27] Haori
Yes. You can say that, can't you?
[16:31] Haori
See? He took it very well, didn't he,
[16:34] Haori
Kagami?
[16:38] Kagami
Yeah.
[16:39] Kagami
I followed along because I was worried, but...

[16:55] Hyoma

means marriage, doesn't it?
[17:00] Hyoma
No!
[17:02] Haori

[17:29] Kagami
U-Um...
[17:31] Haori
J-Just a little get-together!
[17:36] Botan
Why are you dressed like that?
[17:37] Haori
For the get-together!
[17:40] Botan
A get-together? Here?
[17:42] Haori
They have the best sweet dumplings!
[17:42] Hyoma
Kagami.
[17:44] Botan
That's true... but something
still seems fishy here.
[17:44] Hyoma
I haven't had the opportunity to ask...
[17:47] Haori
Nothing's fishy at all!
[17:47] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-san's parents...
[17:49] Hyoma
Has she no close relatives
who would offer her aid?
[17:55] Kagami
We don't know anything about her parents.
[17:58] Kagami
Her grandfather was taking care
of her when we first met her.
[18:01] Kagami
When he died, there was someone who
came to visit Botan, worried about her...
[18:08] Kagami
But that helping hand never reached her.
[18:15] Kagami
She's seriously been through a lot.
[18:21] Kagami
She still carries deep scars on her heart.
[18:24] Kagami
And yet she still...
[18:29] Hyoma
I see.
[18:31] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-san is a strong person.
[18:41] Hyoma
It's gotten quite late.
[18:43] Kagami
Well, you had your date and all.
[18:46] Hyoma
Please don't talk about that.
[18:49] Botan
What? You told Hyoma-san about my past?
[18:54] Haori
Yes.
[18:55] Haori
It relates to his area of
specialization, after all,
[18:58] Haori
so I thought it best to inform him.
[19:05] Haori
What's the matter?
[19:06] Botan
It just makes me sound delusional, you know?!
[19:10] Botan
Like just the cringiest kind of nerd possible!
[19:13] Botan
I sense the presence of the inhuman.
[19:16] Haori
That kind of thing?
[19:19] Haori
But he really wanted to know.
[19:22] Haori
Also... did you forget that you hit him
with a palm strike on the way out?
[19:30] Hyoma
Excuse me.
[19:32] Hyoma
Is something the matter?
[19:37] Botan
I'm so sorry!
[19:39] Botan
That palm strike... I...
I didn't do it on purpose, I promise!
[19:43] Hyoma
Ah... well...
[19:44] Hyoma
I should have been more
mindful of my words, as well.
[19:48] Botan
And, um...
[19:50] Botan
Haori told you, right?
[19:54] Botan
About my... situation.
[20:00] Hyoma
Yes. She did.
[20:04] Hyoma
She did.
[20:06] Hyoma
And if I may be honest...
[20:10] Hyoma
I was truly impressed, Nagatsuki-san!
[20:18] Hyoma
To bear up under hardship
and carry on vibrantly...
[20:22] Botan
Well, it's not really...
[20:24] Botan
Huh?
[20:26] Botan
Isn't this where you're supposed to run off?
[20:28] Botan
To decide that I'm strange?
[20:30] Hyoma
I can think of no reason to do that.
[20:32] Hyoma
Though I will admit that I find your residency
among tsukumogami to be unusual.
[20:39] Botan
You have mentioned that, yeah.
[20:43] Botan
So...
[20:50] Botan
It's true. It didn't change anything.
[20:54] Botan
You heard all that about me...
and you were impressed?
[21:01] Botan
I've never gotten that reaction before.
[21:06] Botan
Yeah.
[21:10] Botan
It makes me happy, Hyoma-san.
[21:20] Hyoma
Er... well...
[21:22] Kagami
Botan!
[21:26] Kagami
I'm so happy!
[21:28] Kagami
Isn't that nice, Botan?
[21:29] Botan
Hey! What's with you two?
[21:52] Hyoma
I see now.

I'm an errand boy today.
[03:33] Aogi
Once I've passed on my message,
I'll be out of your hair.
[03:37] Suzuri
Now, now.
[03:38] Suzuri
Kagami's just mad because
you hurt one of ours recently.
[03:44] Aogi
One of yours?
[03:46] Suzuri
Our houseguest, Kunato Hyoma.
[03:50] Suzuri
You made contact in the course
of your work, right?
[03:53] Suzuri
In the most predictable way.
[03:56] Suzuri
Make yourself comfortable.
[04:00] Suzuri
I have questions for you, too.
[04:02] Suzuri
I'd like to know how your employers
reacted when you made your report.
[04:08] Aogi
I bet you would.
[04:10] Aogi
We bought your story about Kunato's reason
for staying at the Nagatsuki household...
[04:17] Aogi
But while we did pass it on, we have a
handful of clients who have their doubts.
[04:23] Aogi
You wanna know who might be
pressing the issue pretty soon, right?
[04:28] Suzuri
Precisely.
[04:30] Aogi
Can't give that up for free, though.
[04:33] Aogi
You got any info of equal value for me?
[04:36] Suzuri
I have information that could be
crucial to you in the very near future.
[04:41] Aogi
Oh?
[04:42] Suzuri
You haven't been here in a while,
so you may be unaware.
[04:47] Suzuri
Our neighborhood's grown
quite dangerous of late.
[04:51] Suzuri
I'm not kidding.
[04:53] Suzuri
You could get jumped at any minute out there.
[04:56] Suzuri
It's dangerous for anyone
walking around alone.
[04:59] Suzuri
But...
[05:01] Suzuri
I could recommend a route
[05:04] Suzuri
that would let you make it back safe,
without any ill encounters.
[05:09] Aogi
I-Is that a threat?!
[05:11] Suzuri
What? How could you suggest such a thing?
[05:15] Suzuri
Besides, you're the one who attacked
the next head of House Kunato,
[05:19] Suzuri
who'd done nothing wrong.
[05:22] Suzuri
I think you owe us one for
keeping that on the down low.
[05:27] Aogi
I got over a dozen requests
about the same thing,
[05:30] Aogi
but most of 'em heard
my report and backed down.
[05:34] Aogi
"Kunato's staying with the Nagatsukis
for training purposes."
[05:38] Aogi
"That means the law hasn't been broken."
[05:42] Aogi
Those folks will probably stay quiet.
[05:45] Aogi
But I had three clients who remained...
a little skeptical.
[05:49] Aogi
The group of the tsukumogami
you sealed that included Hikaki,
[05:53] Aogi
known as the Sogenbi.
[05:57] Aogi
The Saenome representative
protecting Kyoto, the Kadomori Faction.
[06:01] Aogi
And one of the Three Great Tsukumogami
of Kyoto, the Bureau of Traditional Music.
[06:06] Aogi
Those three didn't seem inclined
to back off so easily.
[06:10] Aogi
A human, like a tsukumogami,
in whom a marebito dwells...
[06:15] Aogi
Nagatsuki Botan possesses unknown potential.
[06:19] Aogi
When there's a powerful human who could
provoke it, like Kunato Hyoma, nearby...
[06:27] Aogi
It's only a matter of time before
someone offers up a complaint.
[06:30] Aogi
The question is just if they come
after you guys, the Kunato kid,
[06:34] Aogi
Nagatsuki Botan herself, or all of you.
[06:38] Aogi
But I wouldn't know.
[06:41] Suzuri
Might I ask which faction
you think will move first?
[06:45] Aogi
Let's see...
[06:47] Aogi
Hang on! You can't make me share that, too!
[06:49] Suzuri
Oh, is that too much?
[06:51] Aogi
Or maybe you can...
[06:54] Aogi
Truth is, I've got a message
from the lead-off hitter.
[06:58] Aogi
Remember? I said I was
playing errand boy today.
[07:03] Aogi
They're calling you out.
[07:05] Aogi
The group of the three with whom
you've had the most dealings...
[07:10] Aogi
Protectors of Kyoto, the Kadomori.
[07:14] Aogi
The Saenome branch
who watch over this region.
[07:29] Nagi
Suzuri!
[07:30] Nagi
Good work.
[07:32] Suzuri
You bet it was work!
[07:33] Suzuri
Why did I have to deal with him alone?
[07:36] Nagi
Well, I'd... probably have hit him.
[07:39] Kagami
And I can't keep my cool around Aogi.
[07:42] Nagi
You're the only one he'd open up to.
[07:45] Kagami
Yeah, yeah!
[07:47] Kagami
That's our smooth talker!
[07:50] Nagi
Good job!
[07:51] Suzuri
Oh, r-really?
[07:52] Suzuri
Well, I did think I'd handled it pretty well...
[07:56] Kagami
But I was surprised to hear the Bureau
of Traditional Music might get involved.
[08:01] Kagami
Even Kai was happy to just wait and see...
[08:04] Nagi
You think there are any others?
[08:06] Suzuri
Most likely.
[08:08] Suzuri
There are probably a few things
Aogi's keeping close to his chest.
[08:12] Aogi
Damn it!
[08:13] Aogi
It's not like I was sworn
to silence or anything,
[08:17] Aogi
but it pisses me off that
I had to tell him all that crap!
[08:21] Aogi
I've got just one piece of info left.
[08:24] Aogi
No... that encounter the other
day is still too ambiguous.
[08:32] (Flashback) Shigure
Hey.
[08:33] (Flashback) Shigure
Were you the one investigating Kunato?
[08:38] Aogi
What?
[08:41] Aogi
Is that... a tsukumogami?
[08:44] (Flashback) Shigure
Hey... tell me what you learned, would you?
[08:48] (Flashback) Aogi
Can't give that up for free.
[08:50] (Flashback) Aogi
You've gotta give me some info in exchange.
[08:53] (Flashback) Aogi
For instance...
[08:55] (Flashback) Aogi
Tell me who you are.
[09:00] (Flashback) Shigure
Oh, really?
[09:02] (Flashback) Shigure
Too bad.
[09:09] (Flashback) Aogi
Creepy.
[09:12] Aogi
He's got the prestigious and the weirdos
all coming out of the woodwork.
[09:16] Aogi
Life's gonna be hard for that kid pretty soon.
[09:19] Aogi
Can't wait to see how it goes.
[09:23] Aogi
Will he navigate the stormy
seas coming his way?
[09:28] Nagi
Hey, hey.
[09:31] Nagi
Clothes really make the man, eh?
[09:34] Hyoma
I haven't yet received formal permission
to act in Kyoto, after all.
[09:38] Hyoma
It's common sense to dress for the occasion.
[09:41] Suzuri
Even though they're my clothes?
[09:44] Nagi
You ever met Kadomori before?
[09:47] Hyoma
No.
[09:49] Hyoma
But I heard about him from my grandfather.
[09:53] Hyoma
He puts up the front of a sly old man,
[09:56] Hyoma
but he's a bird of prey.
[09:59] Taiju
Took you long enough to see me,
but I won't hold it against you.
[10:02] Taiju
Zohei told me the whole story.
[10:05] Taiju
And I'm sure you've had your hands
full getting acclimated here.
[10:10] Hyoma
A bird of prey.
[10:12] Hyoma
An accurate description.
[10:14] Hyoma
The Saenome representative in Kyoto,
[10:17] Hyoma
Kadomori Taiju.
[10:25] Hyoma
What is this?
[10:26] Taiju
A call bell.
[10:28] Taiju
The sounds he makes will call out
any tsukumogami nearby.
[10:33] Taiju
We made him a special exception
since his power's so useful.
[10:36] Taiju
He does good work for us.
[10:39] Taiju
Why not sit down and watch with me?
[10:46] Hyoma
Regarding my license to act here...
[10:49] Taiju
None of that, now.
[10:51] Shota
Who's that?
[10:52] Umekichi
Some Kunato kid.
[10:55] Shota
Hmph! Watching us work, eh?
Must think he's hot shit.
[10:59] Shota
He's a spoiled brat from the sticks.
[11:01] Umekichi
Yeah, I know. Just stop talking.
[11:04] Umekichi
It's here.
[11:10] Umekichi
Time to get to work.
[11:12] Taiju
There we go.
[11:15] Taiju
Not gonna sit?
[11:18] Taiju
Ah, youth.
[11:29] Taiju
Our fights are more or less orthodox.

tsukumogami spawn frequently.
[12:14] Hyoma
You'd need significant skill
to keep it under control.
[12:18] Taiju
They're about average for us.
[12:21] Taiju
As the next head of the Saenome,
what do you think?
[12:25] Hyoma
Excellent.
[12:26] Shota
Tch.
[12:28] Shota
Nice to have the approval of
a rich brat from nowheresville.
[12:32] Taiju
He can hear you, dummy.
[12:34] Taiju
Sorry, we've got our own share of issues.
[12:39] Taiju
Too many hooligans in our ranks, for one thing.
[12:42] Taiju
But worst of all, we're lacking in manpower.
[12:47] Taiju
So I won't object if you want to keep
up the business while you're here.
[12:53] Taiju
I'd welcome it, in fact.
[12:57] Hyoma
I'm grateful to hear that.
[13:00] Taiju
I know Zohei already gave his permission,
but I figured I'd give it as well,
[13:06] Taiju
as the local representative.
[13:08] Taiju
Just report in every now and then.
[13:11] Taiju
Also, could I ask you one more thing?
[13:15] Hyoma
Yes?
[13:16] Taiju
Well...
[13:18] Taiju
It's about the Nagatsuki household.
[13:23] Professor
The Heian Period was a time of great
change in the history of Japanese poetry.
[13:28] Professor
The Tale of Genji integrated
traditional poetry into prose,
[13:32] Botan
Maybe I'll make stew tonight.
[13:32] Professor
which had a massive influence
on future generations...
[13:35] Botan
Yeah, let's do stew.
[13:38] Botan
It'll warm us all up.
[13:40] Botan
I was really worried at first,
[13:43] Botan
but Hyoma-san's really feeling
like a member of the family.
[13:48] Taiju
I'll admit, I was shocked
when Aogi mentioned it to me.
[13:54] Taiju
When I heard you were staying
with the Nagatsukis,
[13:58] Taiju
I thought the Kunato were
finally making their move...
[14:02] Taiju
But is it true you're really
just there to observe?
[14:07] Taiju
Yeah, that was a shock.
[14:10] Hyoma
Representative Kadomori.
[14:12] Hyoma
How does your clan view the Nagatsukis?
[14:17] Taiju
Seems like monsters and
monsters living side by side
[14:22] Taiju
in one happy damn monster family.
[14:27] Taiju
You've heard what Nagatsuki Botan is already?
[14:30] Hyoma
Yes.
[14:31] Taiju
You get it, then.
[14:33] Taiju
Outrageous, eh?
[14:36] Taiju
What'll happen when that marebito
inside her finally awakens?
[14:42] Taiju
I've heard theories here and there,
[14:45] Taiju
but I'd say the most likely one is...
[14:47] Taiju
The same way a human
takes ownership of objects,
[14:51] Taiju
a human possessed by a marebito
[14:53] Taiju
would have ownership of marebito.
[14:56] Taiju
In other words, she'd become
the master of all tsukumogami...
[15:01] Taiju
Or something like that.
[15:04] Taiju
It'd be one thing if we could
keep her under our control,
[15:09] Taiju
but with no guarantee there, she's like
a ticking time bomb in our midst.
[15:14] Taiju
Who wouldn't want to get rid of it?
[15:18] Taiju
The reason we can't is because she's
got a wall around her at all times,
[15:24] Taiju
and because her household
isn't under our jurisdiction,
[15:26] Taiju
but that of the leader of all Saenome.
[15:30] Taiju
So there's no one else I can ask.
[15:34] Taiju
You've made it inside the wall,
and you're a Kunato on top of that.
[15:40] Taiju
Would you seal up the Nagatsuki tsukumogami
[15:43] Taiju
and do away with Nagatsuki Botan for us?
[15:46] Taiju
I'd love to hear a yes.
[15:49] Taiju
I might not be able to restrain my
little band of hooligans otherwise.
[15:53] Taiju
You get my meaning, don't you?
[15:57] Hyoma
My answer is no.
[16:00] Hyoma
My answer is no.
[16:04] Hyoma
I don't believe that
Nagatsuki Botan is a monster.
[16:08] Hyoma
And as I consider myself
a protector of humans,
[16:11] Hyoma
it would be unacceptable for
me to "do away" with one.
[16:14] Hyoma
Furthermore, I have developed
a fondness for that family.
[16:19] Hyoma
Therefore...
[16:21] Hyoma
My answer is no!

[16:47] Taiju
Of course a sheltered little boy
would be hopelessly naïve.
[16:52] Taiju
Politeness would've dictated
an answer of "yes."
[16:56] Taiju
I meant what I told you before.
[16:59] Taiju
I couldn't dream of a better vessel for
taking care of the Nagatsuki situation.
[17:03] Taiju
I'll make use of you,
even if I need to force you into it.
[17:06] Taiju
Say "yes" now, and you can avoid a lot of pain.
[17:10] Taiju
Well? Will you cooperate?
[17:13] Hyoma
No!

[17:54] Hyoma
Come to me.
[17:58] Tsubaki
Guess he's got his share
of battlefield experience.
[18:04] Taiju
The fools got careless.
[18:06] Taiju
Nice work, canceling out the
explosive power of the talismans.
[18:11] Taiju
Without protective charms or
experience fighting tsukumogami,
[18:15] Taiju
you wouldn't carry a talisman
to cancel that out.
[18:19] Hyoma
Correct.
[18:24] Taiju
But even if you've got real-life experience,
[18:27] Taiju
the Tohoku region,
overseen by the Kunato Clan,
[18:31] Taiju
is a safe place full of meek
and docile tsukumogami.
[18:36] Taiju
About the only being there on par with
the Three Great Tsukumogami of Kyoto...
[18:44] Taiju
is the legendary monster that stole tiles
[18:46] Taiju
from all houses that fell
within the range of its power,
[18:49] Taiju
and used them to destroy
two villages in one night...
[18:56] Taiju
The Onigawara of Ou.
[19:01] Taiju
And they say the Onigawara
went into seclusion, so...
[19:04] Taiju
The place where you did the training
that earned you so many scars...
[19:10] Taiju
From our perspective,
[19:12] Taiju
it's like a bonus stage without a boss.
[19:17] Hyoma
Those are...
[19:19] Hyoma
Control talismans?
[19:21] Hyoma
I see. You had them on the "call bell" earlier.
[19:24] Hyoma
Using talismans to control tsukumogami...
[19:27] Hyoma
That's how you do things, then?
[19:30] Taiju
Exactly.
[19:32] Taiju
Most of them are naughty brats
we caught playing pranks.
[19:36] Taiju
And our motto is to use
whatever's available to us.
[19:40] Taiju
Tsukumogami are just extensions
of objects, anyway.
[19:44] Taiju
We're just using those objects
to the best of our ability.
[19:47] Taiju
We'll make use of you later as well,
[19:50] Taiju
so for now, enjoy a taste of a real battlefield.
[19:58] Taiju
With pleasure.
[20:03] Shota
He's down for it?
[20:05] Taiju
Matsu, you know what to do.
[20:08] Taiju
Wear him down, then stick him
with a binding talisman.
[20:14] Shota
Yeah, I know.
[20:16] Hyoma
Incidentally, I've been wondering...
[20:19] Hyoma
Who is that girl there?
[20:23] Taiju
Oh, her?
[20:27] Taiju
She's my daughter.
[20:30] Taiju
Tsubaki, what's your pleasure?
[20:33] Taiju
Going to take part?
[20:39] Tsubaki
Nah, he's too cute. I'll pass.
[20:42] Taiju
All right.
[20:58] Hyoma
A tamasudare toy?
[21:18] Shota
Is that... the Kunato Clan's...
[21:22] Tsubaki
That shape...
[21:24] Taiju
The ritual tool of House Kunato,
handed down directly from Saenokami...
[21:29] Taiju
The "door pull," Chibiki-iwa.
[21:31] Taiju
He's not hesitating to pull out all the stops.
[21:34] Taiju
He'll do whatever it takes
to kill tsukumogami.
[21:38] Taiju
The kid's a little too ready for this.
[21:42] Taiju
I'd heard his siblings were
killed by a tsukumogami,
[21:47] Taiju
but that hatred of his...
[21:49] Taiju
He's nursed it far beyond what I expected.

Hyoma destroyed the thing at eighteen.

What?!
[00:34] Nagi
Totally stupid, right?
[00:36] Nagi
I could hardly believe it.

SIGN — Yagen —
[03:24] Taiju
Guess it was worth hitting
him with that curveball.
[03:28] Taiju
See? I really do use
every resource available.
[03:34] Hyoma
I see.
[03:36] Hyoma
After I left you, you were placed
in the service of the Kyoto Saenome.
[03:40] Hyoma
I never thought I'd meet you again like this.
[03:45] Hyoma
Yagen...
[03:50] (Flashback) Hayato
"Tsukumogami are not people,
but should be used like the objects they are"?
[03:56] (Flashback) Hayato
You Kadomoris see tsukumogami
as tools and nothing more, then?
[04:00] (Flashback) Tsubaki
You think it's gross? We hear that a lot.
[04:03] (Flashback) Hayato
Well, the custom has let you
keep Kyoto safe, hasn't it?
[04:07] (Flashback) Hayato
That's an admirable thing.
[04:09] (Flashback) Hayato
And Kadomori-san is
unflinching in his belief.
[04:13] (Flashback) Hayato
People like that are very strong.
[04:17] Tsubaki
Strong, huh?
[04:41] Shota
He's not as sharp as he was before, eh?
[04:43] Taiju
I thought so.
[04:46] (Flashback) Hyoma
I have developed a fondness for that family.
[04:49] Taiju
Explains why he didn't speak
solely of Nagatsuki Botan,
[04:52] Taiju
but of that tsukumogami "family."
[04:56] Taiju
The brat's developed
sympathies for tsukumogami.
[05:02] Taiju
At least, he's starting to.
[05:06] Taiju
He's every bit the fighter
I heard, of course.
[05:09] Taiju
The blade of hatred knows no mercy.
[05:13] Taiju
But set a familiar face after him,
and suddenly he's wracked with doubt...
[05:18] Taiju
Zohei...
[05:20] Taiju
You sent the boy here to understand
tsukumogami better and grow in the process.
[05:25] Taiju
It backfired on you.
[05:28] Taiju
It's made him fragile.
[05:34] Taiju
Hey, kiddo...
[05:36] Taiju
If you lose here,
I'm gonna take you into custody.
[05:40] Taiju
And even if you do finish off Yagen...
[05:43] Taiju
While your mind's gone blank from destroying
something you had tender feelings for,
[05:47] Taiju
I'll hit you with a control talisman.
[05:50] Taiju
It'll be hard to fight that one.
[05:57] Hyoma
Yagen, you've had more than your
share of misfortune, haven't you?
[06:08] Taiju
Yes.
[06:09] Taiju
There's the right choice to make.
[06:11] Taiju
They're only objects, after all.
[06:14] Taiju
But I've won the day!
[06:32] Hyoma
Well? What's next?!
[06:34] Taiju
H-How...
[06:37] Taiju
How's he still so calm?!
[06:45] Yagen
What?
[06:50] Yagen
I...
[06:51] Taiju
He saved it?!
[06:53] Taiju
That's why he let it get close enough
to put himself in danger of a hit,
[06:58] Taiju
so he could strip the talisman off its face?!
[07:02] Yagen
What happened to my clothes?!
[07:05] Taiju
Why?
[07:07] Taiju
You didn't have to save it.
[07:10] Taiju
Why'd you choose the toughest
way around the problem?
[07:14] Hyoma
That's an absurd question.
[07:16] Hyoma
It was instinct.
[07:18] Hyoma
Instinct told me that that was the only way.
[07:20] Hyoma
I followed that instinct.
[07:25] Tsubaki
The old, "Don't think, feel," huh?
[07:28] Tsubaki
He's just like they told me.
[07:31] Hayato
We've got someone like that
in our family, too.
[07:34] (Flashback) Hayato
He just barrels forward in
the direction he believes in,
[07:37] (Flashback) Hayato
halfway between foolish and valiant.
[07:41] (Flashback) Hayato
But he's unflinching in
every belief he's ever held.
[07:45] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Is he your...
[07:47] (Flashback) Hayato
Yeah. He's our little brother, Hyoma.
[07:52] Tsubaki
Papa, can we be done for now?
[07:55] Tsubaki
My brothers lost all their pieces,
so it's kind of a stalemate.
[07:59] Taiju
You stay out of this, Tsubaki!
[08:02] Tsubaki
Now, Papa...
[08:04] Tsubaki
If you escalate things any further...
[08:08] Tsubaki
I might be forced to take Hyoma-chan's side.
[08:13] Hyoma
Formation talismans?
[08:15] Tsubaki
I've grown to like him, see?
[08:20] Taiju
Another unruly child, eh?
[08:25] Taiju
Matsu, get up already!
[08:29] Taiju
You too, Tsubaki. Get Ume up.
[08:32] Tsubaki
All right!
[08:37] Hyoma
What now, Representative Kadomori?
[08:39] Taiju
What do you think?
[08:43] Taiju
I might've overdone it a bit.
[08:45] Taiju
You passed!
[08:46] Taiju
You passed with flying colors, Hyoma-kun!
[08:49] Taiju
While I gave you permission to operate,
I wanted to test you a bit, as well.
[08:52] Taiju
And while I might've been
trying to test your power,
[08:54] Taiju
I probably got a little too mean
about Nagatsuki-san in the process!
[08:57] Taiju
But now I can see the whole picture.
[09:00] Taiju
You've got strength and resolve in spades!
[09:04] Taiju
I think you'll get by in this town.
[09:14] Hyoma
I-Is that what it was about?
[09:18] Taiju/Shota/Umekichi
Simpleton.
[09:20] Taiju
I'll let you take custody of Yagen.
[09:22] Taiju
She'll be under Kunato jurisdiction now.
[09:27] Taiju
Hyoma-kun...
[09:29] Taiju
You're an interesting one.
[09:32] Taiju
Hope to see more of you.
[09:36] Tsubaki
Hey.
[09:38] Tsubaki
You owe me one for today.
[09:40] Tsubaki
Drop me a line sometime.
[09:41] Tsubaki
We'll have a nice, long talk...
[09:45] Tsubaki
Reminiscing about Hayato-san and Kusui-san.
[09:50] Hyoma
You're...
[09:52] Tsubaki
Tsubaki.
[09:53] Tsubaki
Kadomori Tsubaki.
[09:55] Tsubaki
Later!
[10:01] Yagen
Excuse me.
[10:03] Yagen
Do you know what's going on here?
[10:05] Yagen
And... what should I do?
[10:08] Hyoma
I'll explain everything on the way.
[10:11] Hyoma
For now, come along.
[10:15] Botan
Hang on!
[10:16] Botan
Kushige fell asleep in the bath?!
[10:18] Suzuri
Yeah, apparently he's been drinking for days.
[10:21] Botan
Haori, look after him!
[10:23] Botan
Yu, a change of clothes! Kagami, wet a towel!
[10:26] Nagi
Hey, Botan! Do I smell something burning?
[10:29] Hyoma
Kushige's back, then?
[10:31] Yagen
What is this? A den of iniquity?
[10:34] Hyoma
Why would you say that?
It's the Nagatsuki estate.
[10:37] Yagen
The demon castle of
those tsukumogami-hunters?!
[10:40] Hyoma
You still believe that?
[10:43] Hyoma
I contacted the Kunato.
[10:45] Hyoma
Someone will be by to get you tomorrow.
[10:48] Hyoma
You'll only have to stay here one night.
[10:52] Botan
Oh! Welcome back, Hyoma-san!
[10:55] Botan
Why are you all wrecked?!
[10:57] Hyoma
No reason.
[10:59] Botan
H-Hold on a minute!
[11:02] (Flashback) Taiju
Who wouldn't want to get rid of it?
[11:06] Hyoma
Those eyes...
[11:07] Hyoma
I don't know exactly
how far he intended to go,
[11:10] Hyoma
but his eyes, in that moment,
were completely sincere.
[11:15] (Flashback) Haori
Children and adults both
gave Botan a wide berth.
[11:18] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-san's been subjected
to that all her life.
[11:31] Botan
Sorry.
[11:32] Botan
It's just, you always seem to
come back a little beat up.
[11:36] Botan
You're like some rambunctious little kid.
[11:40] Botan
Well? Come inside.
[11:44] Botan
What's wrong?
[11:46] Hyoma
Nothing.
[11:48] Hyoma
The sight of your face
seems to have set me at ease.
[11:53] Botan
Uh... Um... Huh?
[11:57] Hyoma
Forgive me. It's nothing.
[12:00] Hyoma
Anyway, Yagen!
[12:04] Hyoma
Forgive me, Nagatsuki-san.
[12:06] Hyoma
Would it be possible to
house her here for a day?
[12:12] Botan
Tattered clothing... Injuries...
[12:16] Botan
Clothing messed up...
Beautiful girl who looks scared...
[12:25] Hyoma
I merely took pity on an unfortunate woman!
[12:26] Botan
Explain the situation.
[12:27] Botan
Such a martyr.
[12:30] Suzuri
My clothing...
[12:31] Botan
Look after Kushige.
[12:34] Nagi
Drink!
[12:34] Botan
And a welcome party for Yagen...
as a pretense for drinking.
[12:35] Suzuri
And give me your email address!
[12:38] Haori
So Yagen-san will be heading out tomorrow?
[12:40] Botan
And tomorrow's the deadline for my report...
[12:41] Hyoma
Indeed.
[12:42] Yu
Wanna drink? Let's drink!
[12:45] Haori
What? You finished it?
[12:49] Botan
I guess yesterday's hub-bub
helped to clear my head!
[12:52] Haori
The others all went shopping.
[12:55] Haori
Suzuri wanted to buy clothes.
[12:57] Botan
What about you?
[12:58] Haori
I need to tend to Kushige, of course.
[13:01] Botan
I see!
[13:02] Hyoma
Nagatsuki-san, I'm heading out now.
[13:05] Botan
Huh? Oh... to see off Yagen-san?
[13:08] Hyoma
Yes. There's a place she wanted
to visit before she leaves,
[13:13] Botan
so we're leaving a bit early.
[13:14] Botan
Oh...
[13:16] Haori
Hey, Botan.
[13:18] Haori
Why don't you go with them?
[13:20] Botan
Huh?
[13:21] Haori
I really think you should.
[13:23] Haori
Think about the situation Hyoma-san's in.
[13:27] Haori
Heading out alone with a beautiful woman...
[13:30] Haori
What could such things lead to?!
[13:34] Hyoma
Please accompany me, Nagatsuki-san.
[13:36] Hyoma
I wish there to be no doubts
about the situation.
[13:40] Yagen
Well... I'd really appreciate
you coming with me.
[13:44] Yagen
His eyes are so scary.
[13:47] Botan
Yeah, I get that.
[13:49] Botan
Maybe I'll just do that, then.
[13:55] Yagen
I feel like I once spent
a great deal of time there,
[14:00] Yagen
as a tool with its master.
[14:04] Yagen
I'd like to see it once before I go.
[14:07] Hyoma
Your vessel's memories?
[14:11] Yagen
Yes, most likely...
[14:13] Yagen
But it's like a memory from a past life,
[14:15] Yagen
so while I have strong attachments
to my hometown and my master,
[14:19] Yagen
I can't clearly summon
its location, or his face.
[14:24] Hyoma
Marebito are like lost children.
[14:28] Hyoma
It's a difficult issue.
[14:29] Hyoma
You rarely hear of a tsukumogami
so influenced by its vessel.
[14:34] Botan
Do you think that going there
will trigger some memories for you?
[14:40] Yagen
That seems unlikely.
[14:43] Yagen
My time as a mere mortar wheel
was likely centuries ago.
[14:48] Hyoma
There's likely no trace left.
[14:51] Botan
Sorry I asked such a stupid question.
[14:53] Yagen
Oh, it's fine...
[14:55] Yagen
I can't even be sure
that this is where it was.
[15:00] Yagen
Before I became a special exception,
I visited it several times out of curiosity...
[15:06] Yagen
But I never learned anything.
[15:09] (Flashback) Suzuri
The feelings of comfort felt by the
mortar wheel that became your vessel
[15:13] (Flashback) Suzuri
transferred into you.
[15:16] Yagen
That's why I wanted to know...
[15:18] Yagen
If the source of those outpouring emotions,
and the one toward whom they were felt,
[15:23] Yagen
really existed.
[15:27] Yagen
Yes, I suppose there's nothing here.
[15:31] Yagen
But please hear me, my master...
[15:33] Yagen
Because of you, your mortar wheel
truly loves the world of the living.
[15:38] Yagen
Thank you.
[15:43] Hyoma
Have you had enough?
[15:44] Yagen
Yes, more than enough.
[15:46] Yagen
And...
[15:47] Yagen
I'd hate to take up any more
of the happy couple's time.
[15:52] Hyoma/Botan
What?!
[15:54] Yagen
Well, I was told that you were engaged.
[15:56] Hyoma/Botan
No!
[15:58] Botan
That engagement stuff is
all Haori and the others' idea!
[16:01] Hyoma
Indeed! Nagatsuki-san and I do
not yet have any such relationship!
[16:04] Botan
Yet?!
[16:05] Hyoma
Wh-What did I say?!
[16:09] Hyoma
The Kunatos have a similar rule about their
special exceptions needing to work,
[16:13] Hyoma
but it won't be as unilateral
as it was with the Kadomoris.
[16:17] Hyoma
If you'd rather return to the land
of the dead, tell them that.
[16:21] Hyoma
Please, take care of her.
[16:23] Botan
Hyoma-san's "at work"...
[16:26] Botan
It feels a little strange to see.
[16:28] Yagen
Kunato-san, I can't thank you
enough for everything.
[16:32] Hyoma
I was doing my job, nothing more.
[16:35] Yagen
Could I say one thing? About Botan-san...
[16:40] Yagen
She's not a normal human, is she?
[16:45] Yagen
From my... Well, speaking as a tsukumogami...
[16:48] Yagen
I feel a warmth toward her
akin to what I feel for my master.
[16:54] Yagen
Be careful.
[16:55] Yagen
There will be no lack of moths
drawn to that light.
[17:01] Yagen
Please protect that dear girl.
[17:05] Hyoma
I will. I'm a Saenome.
[17:12] Botan
Hey...
[17:13] Botan
Thanks for taking me along today.
[17:15] Botan
It's been kind of educational,
in a few different ways.
[17:18] Hyoma
Educational?
[17:19] Botan
Yeah.
[17:26] Botan
I haven't talked much with tsukumogami
other than the ones in my household.
[17:32] Botan
I never knew they had so many
different ways of feeling and being.
[17:37] Hyoma
What a coincidence. I felt the same way.
[17:40] Botan
Huh?
[17:41] Botan
But don't Saenome specialize in tsukumogami?
[17:45] Hyoma
Well... I always sealed them on sight.
[17:50] Hyoma
I never saw any reason to hear them out.
[17:53] Botan
What a problem child!
[17:56] Botan
Hey, Hyoma-san.
[17:58] Botan
Can I ask you one question?
[17:59] Hyoma
Yes. I'll answer as best I can.
[18:04] Botan
Why are you so hard on tsukumogami?
[18:12] Hyoma
Haori never told you?
[18:14] Botan
Does Haori know?
[18:17] Hyoma
It's quite simple.
[18:20] Hyoma
My brother and sister were
killed by a tsukumogami.
[18:25] Hyoma
I was twelve years old at the time.
[18:27] Hyoma
My twin siblings were eighteen.
[18:30] Hyoma
They were already working as Saenome,
as successors to the Kunato leadership.
[18:34] Hyoma
My sister's name was Kusui.
She was like a mother to me, and very kind.
[18:40] Hyoma
My brother was Hayato.
[18:42] Hyoma
He was acknowledged by all as a prodigy,
[18:44] Hyoma
and my teacher in combat techniques.
[18:48] Hyoma
And their killer was a tsukumogami wandering
the streets whom they'd come to save.
[18:57] Hyoma
The sight of that tsukumogami, laughing as
it speared them both on its skewers...
[19:03] Hyoma
I can't purge it from my mind.
[19:09] Botan
I'm sorry. I asked so carelessly...
[19:12] Hyoma
No matter. I should have told you in advance.
[19:16] Hyoma
When I left to join your household,
my grandfather told me,
[19:19] Hyoma
"See, for the first time,
the nature of tsukumogami."
[19:23] Botan
See their nature?
[19:27] Hyoma
There are many kinds of tsukumogami.
[19:29] Hyoma
It's just as you said earlier.
[19:33] Hyoma
It's possible understanding that is
how I'll be able to move forward.
[19:39] Hyoma
I'm starting to internalize it...
[19:42] Hyoma
That Yagen
[19:43] Hyoma
and the Nagatsuki tsukumogami
[19:46] Hyoma
are nothing like that paper umbrella.
[19:49] Hyoma
But...
[19:51] Botan
You can change.
[19:53] Botan
You already come off really differently
than you did when I first met you.
[19:59] Botan
You're a lot more gentle with
my people and with Yagen-san.
[20:04] Botan
Early on, I thought you'd give me an ulcer.
[20:08] Hyoma
Forgive me.
[20:11] Hyoma
What you're saying seems rather unreal to me.
[20:15] Botan
Then let me give you my guarantee.
[20:18] Botan
You can change. You can overcome this.
[20:24] Botan
I know you can.

You know I speak with authority, right?
[20:31] Botan
Right?
[20:37] Hyoma
If you give me your endorsement,
[20:39] Hyoma
I'll endeavor to live up to it.
[20:42] Botan
Can't wait to see it.
[20:44] Hyoma
I still feel them...
[20:46] Hyoma
The eyes of the tsukumogami
just looking this way.
[20:51] Hyoma
And on the far bank,
a presence holding it at bay...
[20:57] Hyoma
And one spike of hostility directed at me?!
[21:00] Suzuri
Don't be mean, Yu.
[21:01] Nagi
Seriously.
[21:02] Yu
But they're on a d-date!
[21:05] Kagami
They're just on a walk.
[21:07] Yu
Botan's far too young to be
walking alone with a man!
[21:10] Suzuri
How old do you think she is?
[21:14] Botan
What's wrong?
[21:15] Hyoma
It's truly an overwhelming atmosphere.
[21:17] Hyoma
You never fail to amaze me, Nagatsuki-san.
[21:20] Botan
Oh, that's right!
[21:21] Botan
About that...
[21:23] Botan
Call me Botan!
[21:25] Botan
"Nagatsuki-san" could refer
to any of my people.
[21:28] Botan
And my friends all call me by my given name.
[21:31] Hyoma
Y-You are certain? P-Perhaps...
[21:34] Yu
Call her by her given name?!
[21:36] Yu
It's indecent! Utterly indecent!
[21:37] Nagi
We're going home, Yu!
[21:41] Botan
Try and say it.
[21:42] Hyoma
E-Er... isn't that a bit sudden?
[21:44] Botan
Come on, for practice!
[21:47] Botan
Go on, do it!
[21:49] Hyoma
B... B-B...
[21:51] Botan
I can't hear you!

They'll be alive,

but they likely won't serve

Nah, we're on house duty today!
[03:37] Hyoma
Still...
[03:38] Hyoma
For them to ask for not just me,
but the Nagatsuki household...
[03:42] Hyoma
The opponent must be impressively powerful.
[03:45] Yu
Yes, it's the Tsukumogami group
known as "Sogenbi."
[03:49] Yu
One of the largest factions in Kyoto.
[03:52] Yu
Of particular note,
[03:54] Yu
their members' vessels are all implements of
[03:57] Yu
execution, torture, and other
instruments of human suffering.
[04:02] Yu
Four years ago, the Kyoto Saenome
went to war to take them down.
[04:08] Yu
This most recent incident must be the work
of three of their surviving leaders.
[04:15] Hyoma
They sound quite dangerous.
[04:20] Hyoma
You're sure we shouldn't have
brought Nagi and the others?
[04:23] Yu
Yeah. We were part of
taking them down last time.
[04:28] Yu
If they're after revenge,
[04:32] Yu
they might attempt to
take Botan as a hostage.
[04:37] Suzuri
Kushige, it might be best to expand
the mansion's barrier a bit.
[04:48] Hyoma
I see.
[04:50] Yu
Or... are you scared without them?
[04:54] Hyoma
Don't be absurd.
[04:56] Hyoma
We're facing tsukumogami that harm humans.

I'm relieved that I won't have to hold back.

Identify yourself!
[05:24] Tsubaki
How've you been?

You're... Kadomori Tsubaki!
[05:29] Tsubaki
Right-o!
[05:31] Tsubaki
Looks like we're working together today!
[05:34] Tsubaki
Anyway, how come you didn't text me?
[05:37] Tsubaki
I waited, like, forever!
[05:39] Hyoma
I had my reasons—
[05:45] Yu
You've got a woman in every town, do you?
[05:49] Yu
I'll let Botan know.
[05:52] Hyoma
I do not!
[05:54] Tsubaki
Sorry for messing with you like that.
[05:57] Tsubaki
Nice to work with you today, Yu.
[06:00] Hyoma
You know each other?
[06:02] Yu
Of course we do.
[06:03] Yu
I'm more surprised to see
how close you two are.
[06:09] Yu
Of course, Tsubaki's in the running to be
the next Kyoto Saenome representative.
[06:14] Yu
It's in House Kunato's interest
that you two should be so close.
[06:19] Yu
I wish you a happy life together!
[06:20] Hyoma
It's not like that!
[06:22] Yu
Incidentally, she and I mainly
just grab coffee on occasion.
[06:26] Tsubaki
Yu loves her coffee, right?
[06:29] Hyoma
Y-Yes...
[06:31] Yu
Where are the other Saenome?
[06:33] Aogi
Nowhere.
[06:35] Aogi
What you see is what you get.
[06:37] Aogi
You guys are on your own mission.
[06:41] Aogi
We'll be guiding you to your destination.
[06:44] Aogi
And just FYI, the guiding's all you get.
[06:47] Aogi
Don't expect us to join in the fighting.
[06:50] Hyoma
The informant... Aogi, wasn't it?
[06:54] Aogi
Hey there, buddy.
[06:56] Aogi
It's been a while.
[06:57] Hyoma
Why are we on our own mission?
[07:00] Aogi
The rep and his main squad
[07:03] Aogi
are at the place where shit went down,
setting up a radar network of talismans.
[07:09] Aogi
Once it's finished, they'll have all
of Kyoto under their watchful eye.
[07:14] Aogi
In the meantime,
you'll be doing your own thing,
[07:18] Aogi
sniffing out the shady little places
they'd most likely be hiding.
[07:23] Hyoma
And that's something you'd know?
[07:25] Aogi
Bingo! Give the man a prize!
[07:30] Aogi
Their hideout...
[07:32] Aogi
Not likely they're using it now that
they've shown their hand, of course.
[07:38] Aogi
Here's just hoping they left
behind a clue of some kind.
[07:42] Hyoma
Wait a minute.
[07:43] Hyoma
You're telling me you
just found their hideout?
[07:47] Hyoma
Aogi, you...
[07:52] Hyoma
You're incredible!
[07:56] Hyoma
Aogi, you've done well.
[07:57] Aogi
Oh, w-well...
[07:59] Tsubuki
Hyoma-chan doesn't know about connivance?
[08:02] Yu
He'd probably be angry if he found out.
[08:05] Yu
Connivance... letting lawbreaking
tsukumogami run free, if under supervision.
[08:12] Yu
Kadomori had granted connivance
to the Sogenbi's remnants
[08:15] Yu
while using Aogi and Uchiki
to check in on them periodically.
[08:19] Yu
It makes it easier to track the
movements of the minor hooligans
[08:23] Yu
who come seeking their approval.
[08:25] Yu
"We let you roam free,
and you don't turn on us."
[08:28] Yu
The Sogenbi would have
known that was the deal.
[08:32] Yu
They've stayed quiet
for years now, after all.
[08:36] Yu
Why would they break that unspoken law now?
[08:41] Yu
We've become quite the lawbreakers
ourselves in their eyes, I suppose.
[08:46] Yu
You're becoming quite a point
of contention, Kunato Hyoma.
[08:52] Aogi
A-Anyway, this is as far as I go.
[08:55] Aogi
Let's blow this joint.
[08:57] Aogi
We're not staying here
any longer than we have to.
[09:00] Aogi
C'mon, Uchiki-kun.
[09:05] Hyoma
Aogi!
[09:05] Aogi
What now?
[09:07] Aogi
Don't try to stop—
[09:17] Hyoma
They are here?!
[09:21] Mushiro
One... two... three.
[09:25] Mushiro
Well, well...
[09:27] Mushiro
Not many of you, are there?
[09:29] Tsubaki
Aw, c'mon. There's a whole two of them!
[09:32] Hikikiri
Three.
[09:37] Hikikiri
Yes, I see...
[09:39] Hikikiri
Kadomori Taiju put a watch on the town?
[09:42] Hikikiri
What a pity...
[09:44] Hikikiri
For you, that is.
SIGN — Hikikiri —
[09:46] Hikikiri
We didn't know the location
of Kadomori's stronghold,
[09:50] Hikikiri
so we'd decided to wait.
[09:53] Hikikiri
That Saenome last night...
[09:55] Hikikiri
He was a fine soldier.
[09:57] Hikikiri
No matter how we tortured him,
he wouldn't reveal his master's location.
[10:05] Hikikiri
Let's see how much you can endure.
SIGN — Shimoto —
[10:16] Aogi
H-Hang on...
[10:18] Aogi
How'd we end up surrounded?!
SIGN — Mushiro —
[10:26] Hyoma
Sogenbi...
[10:28] Hyoma
For what purpose do you hurt humans?
[10:33] Hyoma
Did you attack that Saenome
for the purpose of revenge?
[10:36] Hikikiri
For what purpose?
[10:38] Hikikiri
We do it to make humans suffer.
[10:42] Hikikiri
That is naught but our fate, as those who take
instruments of punishment as their vessel.
[10:48] Hyoma
I see.
[10:50] Hikikiri
And when we attacked the Saenome,
[10:52] Hikikiri
we were turning them from an
obstacle to a target, nothing more.
[10:56] Hyoma
Did you...
[10:58] Hyoma
Yes, I see.
[11:03] Hyoma
I'll break you!
[11:04] Yu
I believe you see the Nagatsukis
as obstacles, as well.
[11:08] Yu
It's in our interest to crush you now, then.
[11:10] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan happens to be right here.
[11:13] Tsubaki
Guess I'd better put on a good show.
[11:16] Aogi
Um, so...
[11:19] Aogi

[11:21] Aogi
This is not a good day.

So he's the one...

Show me, Hyoma-chan.
[11:47] Tsubaki
The strength that Hayato-san
and Kusui-san boasted about.
[11:51] Tsubaki
If you show me that here...
[11:54] Tsubaki
I'll know for sure that you're
the one I've been waiting for.
[12:00] Aogi
It's feeling like we're gonna
get dragged into this fight.
[12:03] Aogi
You gotta be kidding me!
[12:07] Aogi
I'll have to pretend I'm
helping out the Saenome,
[12:11] Aogi
then slip away in the chaos!
[12:12] Aogi
Okay...
[12:13] Tsubaki
Here!
[12:14] Aogi
Huh? Is that...
[12:17] Aogi
A control talisman?!
[12:18] Tsubaki
Have a good time, Aogi!
[12:22] Aogi
H-Hey!
[12:24] Aogi
You're pure evil!
[12:31] Aogi
Time to make a break for it!
[12:35] Aogi
Ow!
[12:48] Hyoma
Tsubaki!
[12:52] Hikikiri
I'll face you myself.
[13:07] Tsubaki
Couldn't you turn up the heat a bit?
[13:13] Hikikiri
Nagatsuki, and Kunato...
[13:16] Hikikiri
The human who broke the law by approaching
the Nagatsukis, Kunato Hyoma...
[13:22] Hikikiri
I am grateful to you.
[13:24] Hikikiri
Your actions freed us from
that ridiculous obligation
[13:29] Hikikiri
and allowed us to act.
[13:32] Hyoma
I was the reason?
[13:37] Yu
Hyoma, now's not the time to think about—
[13:44] Hikikiri
He's...
[13:47] Hyoma
I'll not be led astray by nonsense.
[13:49] Hyoma
Strike him quickly, Yu!
[13:52] Yu
Goodness. He is quite a fool.

Kindly don't order me around.

[14:22] Aogi
We're friends, aren't we?
[14:23] Aogi
Plus, we're just doing what
the control talisman tells us to!
[14:27] Aogi
We're really not here to fight!
[14:29] Shimoto
Huh? I've never liked you two, y'know.
[14:32] Shimoto
The way you scamper around,
running your schemes...
[14:37] Shimoto
You know those Kadomori puppets
we destroyed last night?
[14:42] Shimoto
You two are pretty much
the same from our perspective.
[14:47] Aogi
Did you call us puppets?
[14:50] Shimoto
You can't brown-nose your way out of this!
[14:57] Aogi
Okay, damn it...
[14:59] Aogi
That one really ticked me off.
[15:02] Aogi
Let's do this, Uchiki-kun.
[15:05] Shimoto
I don't want to hear about pride...
[15:08] Shimoto
from a human bootlicker like you!
[15:11] Aogi
That's rich, coming from someone
humans granted connivance!
[15:45] Yu
He self-detonated?
[15:47] Yu
No...
[15:56] Yu
Hyoma!
[16:01] Hikikiri
Your hairpins...
[16:03] Hikikiri
They seal in place anything
they hit. Quite dangerous.
[16:08] Hikikiri
But our bodies are already an assumed form.
[16:11] Hikikiri
If we instantly re-transform wherever
they strike, it's not difficult to avoid them.
[16:17] Hikikiri
Just stay quiet there for a while.
[16:26] Hikikiri
Now for you.
[16:28] Hikikiri
Your eyes have some life in them.
[16:32] Hikikiri
Anything that crosses the path of those
"door pulls" is completely erased.
[16:38] Hikikiri
The Kunatos' relic...
[16:40] Hikikiri
The door pulls, "Chibiki-iwa"...
[16:42] Hikikiri
So the rumors were true.
[16:47] Hikikiri
The literal pulls from the door
to the land of the dead.
[16:53] Hikikiri
To come into contact with them
[16:55] Hikikiri
is to step through that door.
[16:58] Hikikiri
And that change in their natural law
[17:00] Hikikiri
causes things of the world
of the living to vanish.
[17:05] Hikikiri
Terrifying.
[17:06] Hikikiri
However...
[17:08] Hikikiri
The ability to use them comes
down to the wielder's skill.
[17:11] Hikikiri
And with your leg in that state,
your mobility is halved.
[17:15] Hikikiri
It's time to fulfill my purpose, then.
[17:19] Hikikiri
I'll tear you to pieces,
slowly and carefully.
[17:25] Hikikiri
It's time for torture.
[17:27] Hikikiri
Scream, cry...
[17:50] Hikikiri
And then lose all hope.
[18:00] Tsubaki
You can't back down, can you?
[18:06] Hikikiri
Impossible...
[18:07] Tsubaki
You can't afford to lose in a place like this,
against an opponent like that...
[18:13] Tsubaki
Because the thing you must destroy
is far more powerful.
[18:18] Tsubaki
Seeing you wield the door pulls they left you
[18:21] Tsubaki
makes it clear that we're
focused on the same thing.
[18:25] Tsubaki
At last, we meet...
[18:31] Tsubaki
The one who hunts the paper umbrella.
[18:38] Hyoma
Is that the best you have, Sogenbi?
[18:41] Tsubaki
My compatriot.
[18:49] Shimoto
She's...
[18:51] Aogi
Just because we're lower rank...
[18:54] Aogi
You better not look away!
[18:56] Shimoto

[18:58] Aogi
So long, Shimoto-san!
[19:09] Aogi
Nice work, m'dear!
[19:10] Aogi
You've slimmed down a bit, I see.
[19:13] Aogi
How many layers left, Uchiki-kun?
[19:18] Aogi
We're down to the wire, I guess.
[19:23] Aogi
Might be time to throw in the towel,
[19:26] Aogi
Mr. Hikikiri.
[19:32] Hikikiri
Implements of torture have a purpose.
[19:39] Hikikiri
I learned through four
years of stifling silence...
[19:43] Hikikiri
Living, for us, means acting out our purpose!
[19:48] Aogi
No freaking way...
[19:49] Hikikiri
I won't stop! I won't stop! I won't stop!
[19:55] Hikikiri
To achieve my purpose in life,

This is the purpose for which

[01:05] Taiju
Still, I used you.
[01:08] Taiju
I thought you might just be useful.
[01:11] Taiju
But then you went and turned on me.
[01:19] Taiju
You're worthless scrap.
[01:22] Taiju
Don't understand why you're treated this way?
[01:25] Taiju
Better learn, then.
[01:28] Taiju
Scrap's got to be disposed of.
[01:38] Taiju
I'll tell the men that we had our revenge.

Papa says he finished the job.
[03:30] Tsubaki
Mission complete, right?
[03:32] Yu
I'm finished.
[03:33] Hyoma
Thank you.
[03:34] Tsubaki
Did you hurt your leg bad, Hyoma-chan?
[03:36] Hyoma
No, it's no issue.
[03:38] Aogi
Pants on fire.
[03:40] Hyoma
Tsubaki, you're pursuing
the paper umbrella, as well?
[03:43] Tsubaki
Sure am. You heard?
[03:46] Hyoma
You mentioned my siblings' names before.
[03:49] Hyoma
Is your quest related to their deaths?
[03:54] Tsubaki
We had a few get-togethers
for group training.
[04:00] Yu
Information brokers...
[04:01] Tsubaki
They were really strong,
and they were nice to me.
[04:06] Tsubaki
Watching them in action...
It was like poetry.
[04:14] (Flashback) Taiju
The specialty training of the Kyoto Saenome,
[04:17] (Flashback) Taiju
Ten Vessels Sparring.
[04:19] (Flashback) Taiju
They mastered it so quickly.
[04:21] (Flashback) Taiju
Impressive indeed.
[04:24] (Flashback) Taiju
Watch close, Tsubaki.
[04:26] (Flashback) Taiju
They're what we call prodigies, just like you.
[04:31] Tsubaki
I'd never met anyone who made
my heart sing like they did.
[04:38] Tsubaki
Things were so much fun when
Kusui-san and Hayato-san were around.
[04:43] Tsubaki
I'm pursuing the paper umbrella
because it stole them from me.
[04:47] Tsubaki
It's the first tsukumogami I feel
determined to beat with my own hands.
[04:54] Tsubaki
If you feel the same way,
maybe we could work together?
[04:58] Tsubaki
The Kyoto Saenome have an
unparalleled information network.
[05:02] Tsubaki
And it's the most likely place to run into
newly manifested tsukumogami.
[05:07] Tsubaki
So instead of staying shut up in the
Nagatsuki household, you should join me,
[05:12] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan.
[05:16] Yu
I'm sure you'll find it
an appealing invitation.
[05:21] Yu
But it's dangerous to take that hand.
[05:25] Yu
Kadomori Tsubaki was only
eight years old when she mastered
[05:27] Yu
the Kyoto Saenome's ultimate training,
[05:30] Yu
Ten Vessels Sparring.
[05:32] Yu
And around age ten, she was
outdoing even experienced Saenome.
[05:35] Yu
The Kadomori Prodigy...
[05:38] (Flashback) Taiju
That's enough, Tsubaki.
[05:40] (Flashback) Taiju
I don't need you ruining all
our workers just for practice.
[05:44] (Flashback) Tsubaki
It's just...
[05:46] (Flashback) Tsubaki
boring.
[05:48] Yu
Her feelings for your siblings...
[05:51] Yu
and even for the paper umbrella...
[05:54] Yu
differ from yours in a definitive way.
[05:57] (Flashback) Tsubaki
You think I look happy?
[05:59] (Flashback) Tsubaki
You can tell?
[06:01] (Flashback) Tsubaki
I found something...
[06:03] (Flashback) Tsubaki
A wonderful toy.
[06:05] Yu
It's all a game to entertain herself.
[06:10] Yu
And she has inherited the Kadomori
philosophy—use whatever you can
[06:16] Yu
to achieve your goal.
[06:21] Yu
Despite that, Hyoma, will you...
[06:25] Hyoma
Let me think.
[06:27] Hyoma
"Destroy the paper umbrella."
[06:30] Hyoma
This has been my oath,
[06:32] Hyoma
and the source of the hatred that's
consumed me for close to ten years now.
[06:37] Hyoma
We are the same.
[06:39] Hyoma
I'm pursuing it, as well.
[06:41] Hyoma
Your offer is most welcome.
[06:45] Hyoma
However,
[06:46] Hyoma
I currently have other commitments
I can't back away from,
[06:51] Hyoma
so I fear I must courteously decline.
[06:55] Tsubaki
Huh?
[07:00] Yu
You really did overdo it.
[07:02] Hyoma
Certainly not! I merely
turned my heart to iron—
[07:05] Yu
That's what we call "overdoing it."
[07:09] Hyoma
But why were you all so surprised?
[07:13] Hyoma
Tsubaki seemed truly puzzled by my answer.
[07:16] Yu
Aogi and Uchiki were, too.
[07:19] Yu
Still, you weren't tempted at all?
[07:24] Hyoma
"I will destroy the paper umbrella myself."
[07:26] Hyoma
That is my unimpeachable goal.
[07:30] Hyoma
But that's not all I swore
before their grave.
[07:34] Hyoma
The oath I swore was to become
truly strong, in body and mind,
[07:39] Hyoma
so that I could stop the next
tsukumogami-induced tragedy.
[07:44] Hyoma
I believe that my training in the Nagatsuki
household is equally in pursuit of that goal.
[07:49] Hyoma
And there's the matter of Botan, as well.
[07:56] Yu
W-Well...
[07:58] Yu
Is this an "I can't abandon my
betrothed" sort of statement?
[08:02] Yu
That seems rather presumptuous.
[08:04] Yu
You lecher!
[08:05] Hyoma
No! It's merely the circumstances in which she—
[08:07] Hyoma
L-Lecher?!
[08:08] Yu
Men are such pigs!
[08:13] Hyoma
Have I...
[08:15] Hyoma
Is that the impression I give?
[08:18] Hyoma
Of an unlikely lecher?
[08:22] Yu
Idiot.
[08:25] Botan
You stupid idiot!
[08:27] Botan
You came back so injured!
[08:30] Hyoma
I'm sorry.
[08:34] Botan

[08:36] Botan
Find it?
[08:37] Hyoma
No. Nothing there either?
[08:40] Botan
I just can't figure out where
it could've gotten put.
[08:42] Hyoma
What's Kushige up to, anyway?
[08:45] Botan
Playing shogi with a guy from
the neighborhood association.

They do it all the time.

Listen, all.
[09:18] (Flashback) Haori
Botan will be starting
her third year in university,
[09:21] (Flashback) Haori
and Hyoma-san will be starting
his third month with us.
[09:25] (Flashback) Haori
To celebrate the occasion, tonight...
[09:29] (Flashback) Haori
We're having hot pot!
[09:30] (Flashback) All
Heck yes!
[09:34] (Flashback) Hyoma
Hot pot?
[09:35] (Flashback) Hyoma
Was that really the purpose of this meeting?
[09:38] (Flashback) Haori
Hot pot is a big event in this household.
[09:41] (Flashback) Haori
We only have it during celebrations like this,
[09:44] (Flashback) Haori
so it gets everyone into a festive mood.
[09:47] (Flashback) Hyoma
Even Botan?
[09:50] (Flashback) Haori
Now I'm going to assign roles for shopping.
[09:54] (Flashback) All
Yes, ma'am!
[09:55] (Flashback) Haori
I'll buy the meat.
[09:56] (Flashback) Haori
Yu will buy the other ingredients.
[09:57] (Flashback) Yu
Yes, ma'am!

in case of trouble.
[10:09] (Flashback) Botan
What about Hyoma-san and me?
[10:11] (Flashback) Haori
You find the big self-heating pot
we stashed away somewhere.
[10:16] (Flashback) Nagi
Go for it, Hyoma!
[10:17] Nagi
We all gotta chip in to
make the hot pot happen!
[10:19] (Flashback) Botan
What?
[10:20] (Flashback) Haori
Botan, it'll be just you and Hyoma-san.
[10:21] Hyoma
You seem very serious about hot pot.
[10:23] (Flashback) Haori
Make the best of it.
[10:23] Nagi
C'mon, man! Get a clue!
[10:24] (Flashback) Botan
What?
[10:25] (Flashback) Haori
He's in the running to be your
future husband, remember?
[10:28] Nagi
You gotta learn the truth
of what hot pot's all about.
[10:28] (Flashback) Haori
I want you moving things along.
[10:30] (Flashback) Botan
I-I never signed up for that!
[10:31] Nagi
You'll see, man.
[10:33] Hyoma
What are you talking about?
[10:33] (Flashback) Botan
And Hyoma-san doesn't seem interested...
[10:35] Hyoma
Is it really that important?
[10:36] (Flashback) Haori
If you don't make your move,
he never will be!
[10:39] (Flashback) Haori
Surely you fancy him at least
a little bit, don't you?
[10:42] (Flashback) Botan
I-I do believe he's a good person,
[10:44] (Flashback) Botan
but that doesn't mean
I have special... well...

I just don't look at him that way!

Let's see...

He's fine, and I'm all flustered.
It's a little disheartening.
[14:26] Botan
I mean, why am I the only one thinking
about the trial arranged marriage?
[14:30] Botan
Shouldn't it be on Hyoma-san's mind, too?
[14:34] Botan
If I'm the only one... bothered about it...
[14:37] Botan
Well, it's not fair!
[14:40] Botan
Although... maybe Hyoma-san's
really not like that.
[14:44] Botan
If he doesn't get crushes or feel
romantic feelings for others,
[14:48] Botan
it's possible the arranged marriage
thing really isn't on his mind!

Well... you were looking rather ill.
[14:58] Hyoma
I can take over here if you'd like to rest.
[15:03] Botan
Whose fault is it that I feel ill?!
[15:07] Botan
Oh, right... It's Haori's.
[15:15] Botan
That's actually a relief.
[15:18] Botan
Oh, nothing. I was just
thinking about something.
[15:23] Hyoma
About what?
[15:24] Botan
I'm going to check the second floor.
[15:27] Hyoma
Botan, you dropped something.
[15:31] Hyoma
"Step 1: Investigate his past romantic history.
[15:35] Hyoma
Step 2..."
[15:36] Hyoma
What is this?
[15:38] Botan
Just some stupid thing Haori wrote!
[15:40] Hyoma
Why do you have this?
[15:43] Botan
About the arranged marriage, um...
[15:45] Botan
Haori wanted things to move forward,
so she kind of forced it on me.
[15:51] Botan
I-It's not what you think?
[15:53] Hyoma
Is this what was bothering you?
[15:56] Hyoma
They're truly incorrigible.
[15:59] Hyoma
You don't need to worry about it.

I'm not worried about it.

Are you blushing a little?
[16:13] Hyoma
I know not of what you speak.
[16:15] Hyoma

[16:16] Hyoma
Might we venture to the second floor?

Could I get a quick look at your face?

be negligence, forsooth?

When Hyoma-kun gets flustered,
he sometimes slips into old-timey speech.

Hey, Nagi! Don't hog the beef!

Do it anyway!

Excuse me!

Hey, Botan-chan. Are you...
[04:59] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan's girlfriend?!
[05:02] Hyoma
Why are all of you like this?!

[05:08] Tsubaki
Hey, call me Tsubaki.

Nice to meet you, Botan-chan.

Anyway, it's on the second floor.
[05:20] Tsubaki

[05:23] Tsubaki
Tsubaki-san's very easygoing, isn't she?
[05:27] Hyoma
She does march to her own drumbeat.
[05:29] Hyoma
Though she is quite skilled.
[05:39] Hyoma
Tsubaki, are you aware of the "test"?
[05:42] Tsubaki
Yeah. It's not especially hard...

Y-Yeah.

Sorry 'bout that!

The cloth we make here
has some special properties.

Hey!

Are you Nagatsuki Botan, dearie?

Oh... hello.

Well, no wonder it took such a shine to you!

Hang on, Hata!
[06:35] Tsubaki
We're the customers here, remember?
[06:38] Hata
Oh, you bet!
[06:39] Hata
You know I'd never forget that!
[06:40] Hyoma
Clothing created by tsukumogami...
[06:43] Hata
The cloth itself isn't
a tsukumogami, of course.
[06:47] Hata
It just picks up our
transformative properties,
[06:50] Hata
so it can adjust endurance and flexibility
in accordance with the wearer's will.
[06:55] Hata
"Living clothing."
[06:58] Hata
The "living" part is the key.
[07:00] Hata
You've gotta build a relationship with it,
[07:02] Hata
or it'll be uncooperative.
[07:05] Hata
Here, this one's done.
[07:08] Hata
For you, Tsubaki-san.
[07:11] Hata
Can you wear it to its full potential?
[07:14] Hata
That's the test.
[07:17] Hata
You really are good at that, eh?
[07:20] Tsubaki
Well, I do it often enough.
[07:21] Botan
Amazing!
[07:24] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[07:25] Hyoma
Tsukumogami... all over my body.
Tsukumogami... all over my body.
[07:28] Hata
I told you, it's not really a tsukumogami.
[07:31] Botan
Maybe you'd better not.
[07:45] Hyoma
It's all right. This is
surely part of my training.
[07:49] Hyoma
Besides...
[07:51] Hyoma
Reducing my rate of injury will help
to set your mind at ease, Botan.
[07:56] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[08:02] Hyoma
Very well. I accept your challenge.
[08:04] Hata
That's the spirit.
[08:06] Hata
Of course, there are many
kinds of relationships.
[08:09] Hata
Friendly relationships,
master-servant relationships...
[08:11] Hata
The key is just convincing it
that you're a worthy wearer.
[08:20] Tsubaki
A staredown, huh?
[08:22] Hata
A very strained atmosphere.
[08:24] Hata
Not exactly a great start.
[08:27] Botan
But it latched right on to me...
[08:29] Tsubaki
You're a rare case.
[08:31] Hata
Yep, they're not so friendly with most.
[08:34] Botan
Really?
[08:35] Tsubaki
Same with the others in your household.
[08:38] Tsubaki
You're capable of building some
pretty unprecedented relationships.
[08:42] Botan
I am?
[08:46] Tsubaki
And that's just one part
[08:48] Tsubaki
of why Papa finds you
so very, very dangerous.
[08:53] Botan
What will Hyoma-san do, then?
[08:55] Tsubaki
Probably what we all do.
[08:58] Tsubaki
Discipline!
[08:59] Tsubaki
Dominate it through sheer force,
bring it to heel,
[09:01] Tsubaki
and forge a master-servant relationship.
[09:04] Botan
You force it, then?
[09:06] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan probably sees that
as his ideal method, too.
[09:12] Botan
You think so?
[09:14] Botan
It might have been that way
when he first came to us,
[09:18] Botan
but I feel like he might find
a different solution now.
[09:25] Hyoma
Well, let's get fighting.
[09:27] Botan
Huh?! No way!
[09:29] Hyoma
Let's not beat around the bush.
[09:31] Hyoma
Give me your best shot
with all the power you have.
[09:33] Hyoma
Let's see if we can trust
each other with our lives...
[09:35] Hyoma
through use of fists!
[09:39] Tsubaki
What in the world?
[09:41] Tsubaki
They don't even understand
the spoken word, do they?
[09:44] Hata
No, they don't.
[09:46] Hata
But it looks like the sentiment got through.
[09:53] Hyoma
Begin!
[10:02] Botan
Hyoma-san!
[10:06] Hyoma
No need to worry.
[10:07] Hyoma
I'm stronger than this.
[10:10] Hyoma
I'm sure you can see that, as well.
[10:15] Hyoma
Good.
[10:17] Hyoma
Now it's my turn!
[10:26] Tsubaki
Huh?!
[10:27] Botan
It's that kind of thing?!
[10:29] Hyoma
I'm impressed that you
endured my full-force strike.
[10:33] Hyoma
I feel I could entrust my life
to you as my armor.
[10:37] Hyoma
As reticent as I might be about it,
[10:38] Hyoma
I require your service for the fight ahead.
[10:41] Hyoma
I swear I will wear you well, wear you out,
[10:45] Hyoma
and allow you to fulfill the purpose
for which you were born.
[10:48] Hyoma
Join me!
[10:50] Hyoma
We have a common interest.
[10:52] Hyoma
Our relationship is that of comrades in arms!
[10:55] Botan
Was that it? He wasn't just resorting to force?
[10:59] Hata
It's a gray area, I guess,
[11:02] Hata
but the cloth seems pretty satisfied, so...
[11:05] Hata
I guess all's well that ends well.

It seems not.
[11:23] Hyoma
It even transformed to match
my outfit's color and form.
[11:26] Hyoma
And Tsubaki?
[11:27] Botan
She headed out already.
[11:28] Hyoma
I see.
[11:31] Botan
Hyoma-san, you seem pleased with yourself.
[11:35] Hyoma
You could tell?
[11:36] Botan
Yeah, kinda.
[11:37] Hyoma
I admit, I surprised myself today.
[11:40] Hyoma
I usually see tsukumogami
as merely things to destroy,
[11:43] Hyoma
but today I looked one in the proverbial eye
and reached an agreement with it.
[11:48] Hyoma
Quite frankly, I didn't think myself
capable of such a thing.
[11:54] Hyoma
Perhaps I'm becoming the true
Saenome that Grandfather spoke of.
[12:00] Botan
At the very least, I think you're
heading in a good direction.
[12:04] Hyoma
I hope you're right.
[12:06] Hyoma
By the way, are you feeling fatigued?
[12:09] Botan
Could you tell?
[12:10] Hyoma
Vaguely.
[12:11] Botan
Well, while you were in there,
it was just me and Tsubaki-san for a while.
[12:17] Hyoma
I see.
[12:24] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Is that the Big Dipper?
[12:26] (Flashback) Tsubaki
What a great hairpin.
[12:27] (Flashback) Botan
Oh... right.
[12:29] (Flashback) Tsubaki
It really suits you. It's cute.
[12:32] (Flashback) Botan
Oh, well...
[12:34] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan's pretty cute too, huh?
[12:41] (Flashback) Botan
C-Cute? Him?
[12:43] (Flashback) Tsubaki

[12:47] (Flashback) Botan
A mo—
[12:48] (Flashback) Tsubaki
He blew me off, though.
[12:50] (Flashback) Botan
O-Oh...
[12:52] (Flashback) Tsubaki
He's still too cute, though,
so it's hard to back down.
[13:00] (Flashback) Tsubaki
You're also very cute, and I like you, but...
[13:04] (Flashback) Botan
I-I wouldn't say I'm—
[13:07] (Flashback) Tsubaki
I'm not losing to you.
[13:12] Hyoma
You truly do appear fatigued!
[13:16] Taiju
So the kid managed to wear it, eh?
[13:20] Tsubaki
But hey, nice of you to be tactful for once.
[13:23] Tsubaki
You like Hyoma-chan now?
[13:25] Taiju
Don't be dumb.
[13:26] Taiju
Getting him the right equipment's
just part of the rules.
[13:29] Tsubaki
I also met the infamous Botan-chan.
[13:32] Tsubaki
Super-cute girl.
[13:34] Tsubaki
She and Hyoma-chan had a nice relationship.
[13:37] Tsubaki
Lots of mutual trust there.
[13:39] Taiju
Trust?
[13:42] Tsubaki
I'd say, yeah.
[13:44] Taiju
Strange.
[13:46] Taiju
I'd met the girl once before, but...
[13:49] Taiju
She didn't look like the type
to open up to others at all.
[13:54] Taiju
That's one reason I thought I could
leave her at large a while longer.
[13:59] Taiju
So that's a little unsettling to hear.

Hyoma-kun's with her today.
[16:56] Suzuri
And if I can get a source on the inside here,
[16:58] Suzuri
it'll be a big help if anything
goes down at her school.
[17:01] Suzuri
What about you, Nagi? What're you up to?
[17:03] Nagi
I dropped in on the swordsmanship club
and sliced through a training post.
[17:07] Suzuri
Sounds like you're the one
who needs some focus.
[17:09] Nagi
They called me "master,"
but I'm not cut out for teaching...

I can't leave at large any tsukumogami
that turns its power on others.
[18:49] Hyoma
Let us begin.
[18:50] Hyoma
I'll finish you here and now!
[18:53] Kai
Go on and try.
[18:58] Reader
Here, you see it—
[18:59] Botan
There!
[18:59] Reader
The place where all people meet...
[19:00] Rookie
So fast!
[19:01] Reader
Comers and goers...
[19:01] Natsuki
You can get that good in time.
[19:04] Natsuki
What do you think, new blood?
[19:07] Botan
I wonder if Hyoma-san left.
[19:12] Botan
I wish he'd come by to play a bit.
[19:15] Botan
I just hope he hasn't gotten himself
mixed up in something again.
[19:26] Hyoma
I feel so light...
[19:27] Hyoma
Is it the clothing?
[19:36] Hyoma
My strength, too...
[19:38] Hyoma
Of course. No wonder the
Kyoto Saenome treasure it.
[19:42] Hyoma
But...
[19:43] Hyoma
Swords, spears...
[19:45] Hyoma
These planks are like the shoulder
guards of Japanese armor.
[19:48] Hyoma
Typically, a tsukumogami's
transformation powers
[19:51] Hyoma
are based on the one item
they took as their vessel.
[19:55] Hyoma
But I've heard there are exceptions—
[19:57] Hyoma
tsukumogami that take a full
"set" of items as their vessel.
[20:03] Hyoma
Could it be?
[20:06] Hyoma
Is he...
[20:08] Hyoma
You're an absolute monster.
[20:33] Kai
Too soft.
[20:37] Hyoma
Th-The helmet?!
[20:44] Kai
Oh? That should've gone in deep...
[20:47] Kai
Yet no external injuries.
That's excellent armor you've got.
[20:51] Hyoma
Though it can't fully deflect
the force of impact.
[20:57] Hyoma
I knew it.
[20:59] Hyoma
He's one of the three great
tsukumogami of Kyoto...
[21:04] Hyoma
Kai, the suit of armor!
[21:07] Nagi
Hey, what brings you here?
[21:11] Nagi
Shouldn't you be shut away, Itsuki?
[21:16] Nagi
But the real problem is,
I know you don't act alone.
[21:20] Nagi
Where the hell is Kai?
[21:22] Itsuki
Kai-sama is meeting with Kunato Hyoma
within the sanctuary I created.
[21:28] Nagi
With Hyoma?!
[21:29] Suzuri
What? Why?!
[21:32] Nagi
But this has all been disappointingly boring.
[21:36] Nagi
Is this really all you have?
[21:40] Nagi
What a shame.
[21:43] Nagi
I might kill you.
[21:45] Itsuki
Kai-sama is engaged in his amusements.
[21:48] Itsuki
If you seek to intervene,
[21:51] Itsuki
you will have to go through me.

[00:04] Kai
You're so weak.
[00:06] Kai
Not even worth leaving alive.
[00:10] Kai
It really is humorous.
[00:13] Kai
You expected to slay the
paper umbrella like this?
SIGN Malevolent Spirits
SIGN Efflorescence
[01:58] Hyoma
You know of the paper umbrella?
[02:00] Kai
I know you aspire to kill it
to avenge your slain family.
[02:05] Hyoma
Do you know where it is?!
[02:07] Kai
And you've been training
in order to take your revenge.
[02:11] Kai
But if this is as far as it's gotten you,
[02:14] Kai
your resentment must run shallow after all!
[02:22] Hyoma
Tell me!
[02:43] Kai
Harder!
[02:45] Kai
Harder!
[02:46] Kai
Try harder!
[02:50] Nagi
Hyoma!
[02:59] Kai
Welcome!
[03:00] Nagi
Kai!
[03:08] Kai
Now it's getting fun!
[03:10] Kai
Are you up next, Nagi?!
[03:12] Nagi
Don't be stupid.
[03:14] Nagi
I know I can't take you in a one-on-one...
[03:17] Nagi
But the kid told me everything!
[03:21] Kai
Itsuki?!
[03:23] Itsuki
I...
[03:24] Itsuki
I'm sorry, Kai-sama.
[03:26] Itsuki
We're out of time.
[03:27] Kai
W-Wait...
[03:33] Kai
I told you to hide...
[03:36] Kai
Because you're so extremely weak.
[03:40] Nagi
Damn it, what a pain-in-the-ass old bastard.
[03:44] Hyoma
Nagi.
[03:45] Hyoma
Tell me what's going on here.
[03:47] Hyoma
Or rather... first...
[03:50] Hyoma
Could you get me down from here?
[03:54] Kohai Girl
Oh, no way!
[03:56] Natsuki
What, really?
[03:57] Kohai Girl
There's gotta be some hot guys
who like the Hyakunin Isshu!
[04:01] Natsuki
Who cares if they like the Hyakunin Isshu?
[04:04] Natsuki
As long as they're hot.
[04:05] Botan
What are we talking about?
[04:07] Senpai Girl
They're plotting to rope in good-looking
guys from the new students.
[04:11] Botan
Ah. Right.
[04:13] Kohai Girl
Huh?! Botan-senpai's put off?!
[04:15] Natsuki
Why?
[04:16] Natsuki
You know our slogan this year is,
"Pick up some male club members!"
[04:19] Kei
Now, now.
[04:20] Kei
Calm down, my dear girls.
[04:23] Kei
This is what they call "the leisure
of the romantically attached."
SIGN Romantically attached
[04:26] Kohai Girl
I knew it! Kunato-san is her boyfriend!
[04:29] Botan
Huh?!
[04:30] Natsuki
Don't look down on us!
[04:32] Botan
Look...
[04:35] Botan
Can you guys just tidy up already?
[04:41] Botan
Dating... Romance...
[04:48] Botan
Loving someone.
[04:53] Botan
All terrifying things... and
they make them look so easy.
[05:00] Hyoma
A greeting?
[05:01] Kai
I've heard rumors here and
there of your existence.
[05:05] Kai
I got permission to see you myself.
[05:08] Nagi
And you went too damn far as always!
[05:11] Kai
I have to amuse myself somehow.
[05:13] Kai
Besides, you had a little fun
with Itsuki yourselves.
[05:18] Nagi
That wasn't exactly fun!
[05:22] Nagi
How was I supposed to know
she was that damn weak?
[05:24] Itsuki
Well, they said they were
gonna try to stop you,
[05:27] Itsuki
so I figured I'd try...
[05:30] Hyoma
Wait a minute.
[05:33] Hyoma
What do you know about the paper umbrella?
[05:36] Kai
That's the question you attempted
to force me to answer, yes?
[05:41] Kai
I therefore determine that you are not yet
strong enough to warrant an answer.
[05:47] Kai
Am I wrong?
[05:49] Kai
That's my estimation.
[05:52] Kai
I met Kunato Hayato and Kusui before,
[05:56] Kai
and you are far weaker even than they,
[05:59] Kai
who were slain by the
paper umbrella at the time.
[06:01] Kai
Why don't you even use your own weapon?
[06:05] Kai
Is using the ones you received
from them a way to remember them?
[06:10] Kai
A ridiculous obsession.
[06:14] Nagi
You can give it a rest now, Kai.
[06:18] Kai
You think I'm being cruel?
[06:19] Kai
You're far worse than I am, Nagatsuki.
[06:24] Nagi
What do you mean by that?
[06:26] Kai
Placing Kunato Hyoma with Nagatsuki Botan...
[06:31] Kai
That's a true act of cruelty.
[06:35] Botan
What should we do for the after-party?
[06:42] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[06:44] Botan
And... who?
[06:46] Kai
As long as the boy remains near her,
he'll attempt to protect her.
[06:52] Kai
He'll consider it his duty.
[06:54] Kai
What could be more ironic, then?
[06:58] Kai
The paper umbrella who
killed his brother and sister...
[07:01] Kai
The one responsible for its activation
[07:05] Kai
was Nagatsuki Botan herself!
[07:11] Kai
And of course, she doesn't want
anyone protecting her anyway.
[07:18] Kai
Nagatsuki Botan is incapable of trusting
anyone enough to wish for that.
[07:25] Kai
Ironic, isn't it?
[07:27] Nagi
Kai!
[07:29] Nagi
We'd appreciate it if you'd stop insulting
our mistress with your baseless hunches.
[07:35] Nagi/Suzuri
We'll crush you.
[07:38] Kai
Here we go—
[07:44] Itsuki
I said you were out of time.
[07:47] Itsuki
Besides, you've taken
your mischief a little too far.
[07:50] Itsuki
Allow me to apologize on Kai-sama's behalf.
[07:54] Itsuki
He seems rather satisfied.
[07:57] Itsuki
I'll get him back in holding for a while,
[07:59] Itsuki
so please forgive him.
[08:00] Nagi
Hold it!
[08:01] Suzuri
Nagi, suck it up for now.
[08:04] Itsuki
But Kai-sama is right that
your situation is off-kilter.
[08:11] Itsuki
And... someone might potentially
take advantage of that.
[08:18] Itsuki
Never forget that.
[08:22] Hyoma
Excuse me, Nagi, Suzuri.
[08:25] Hyoma
Do you think I could have a little time off?
[08:30] Nagi
Don't let Kai's bullshit get to y—
[08:34] Suzuri
All right.
[08:35] Nagi
Hey!
[08:36] Suzuri
But don't overdo it. And see that you return.
[08:41] Hyoma
Thank you.
[08:46] Nagi
He's definitely hung up on what Kai said.
[08:50] Suzuri
It's about his siblings, after all.
[08:53] Suzuri
We can't exactly expect
him to just shake it off.
[08:57] Suzuri
And what Kai said...
[09:00] Suzuri
It's true that there are rumors about it.
[09:03] Nagi
That Botan's behind the
paper umbrella incident?
[09:06] Nagi
But it's just one of a dozen theories.
[09:10] Suzuri
We're just Saenome proxies, so there's
no way for us to learn the truth, but...
[09:17] Suzuri
It would be a lie to say we know nothing.
[09:21] Suzuri
We need to be as open with him as we can.
[09:27] Kagami
It's been four days now...
[09:29] Kagami
I wonder where Hyoma-san is right now.
[09:36] Kagami
Darn it!
[09:37] Kagami
This is all Kai's fault!
[09:39] Yu
He does enjoy stirring the pot.
[09:42] Kagami
It's not very nice.
[09:44] Yu
Hyoma apparently said
he'd be back eventually.
[09:47] Yu
I'm sure there's no need to worry.
[09:50] Yu
My greater concern lies
[09:53] Yu
with Botan's recent despondency.
[09:57] Botan
I wonder what his expression
was in that moment.
[10:03] (Flashback) Hyoma
I can't purge it from my mind.
[10:06] Botan
If it's possible I was the cause of that...
[10:11] Botan
Then I...
[10:18] Tsubaki
Papa! Visitor!
[10:24] Taiju
The human in whom dwells a marebito
from the land of the dead,
[10:27] Taiju
that which serves as a tsukumogami's soul...
[10:31] Taiju
Nagatsuki Botan.
[10:33] Taiju
What kind of monster have you grown into?
[10:38] Botan
P-Pleasure to meet you!
[10:39] Botan
My name is Nagatsuki Botan!
[10:41] Botan
Thank you for always looking after fy mamily!
[10:44] Botan
...m-my family.
[10:48] Taiju
Ah, right...
[10:50] Taiju
Though this is actually our second meeting.
[10:54] Taiju
The first was when you were
just a little thing, of course.
[10:58] Taiju
It's no wonder you don't remember that.
[11:00] Tsubaki
Have a seat.
[11:03] Taiju
Tsubaki told me why you've come.
[11:06] Taiju
You want to know how you're connected
to the paper umbrella incident, then?
[11:13] Botan
Yes.
[11:18] Botan
Thank you for your help.
[11:20] Botan
I'm sorry for dropping in so... er...
[11:22] Taiju
It's nothing.
[11:23] Taiju
Though it was a bit sudden, true.
[11:25] Taiju
But either way, the paper
umbrella is Hyoma-kun's problem.
[11:31] Taiju
Why're you so curious about it?
[11:34] Botan
Er... well...
[11:40] Taiju
Is this one of those
"I bet he hates me now" things?
[11:44] Taiju
Listen to you, like a maiden in love!
[11:49] Taiju
Tsubaki, have I said something rude?
[11:54] Tsubaki
I think you hit the nail on the head.
[11:56] Botan
No! N-No, no!
[11:57] Botan
It's not like that!
[11:58] Botan
Um...
[11:59] Botan
That... Kai-san person said those things,
[12:02] Botan
and then Hyoma-san ran off somewhere...
[12:05] Botan
Since I happened to overhear it,
I can't help but be... worried...
[12:12] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan ran off somewhere?
[12:14] Taiju
He's been training with us,
as a matter of fact.
[12:17] Hyoma
Representative Kadomori!
[12:19] Hyoma
I've completed my Ten Vessels Sparring!
[12:20] Hyoma
Next!
[12:21] Botan
Hyoma-san?!
[12:24] Hyoma
Botan? What brings you here?
[12:26] Taiju
Convenient timing there.
[12:28] Taiju
He came to stay with us three days ago.
[12:32] (Flashback) Hyoma
Representative Kadomori!
[12:34] (Flashback) Hyoma
I recently encountered Kai
of the Three Great Tsukumogami,
[12:38] (Flashback) Hyoma
sparred with him, and was found lacking!
[12:41] (Flashback) Hyoma
I therefore wish to undertake training
with the Saenome Kyoto Branch.
[12:47] (Flashback) Hyoma
Is this acceptable?!
[12:49] Taiju
Hyoma-kun.
[12:50] Taiju
Head home for now and take tomorrow off.
[12:53] Hyoma
What? But I still—
[12:55] Taiju
Actually, the Ten Vessels Sparring you just
completed is our household's final training!
[13:01] Hyoma
Unthinkable!
[13:02] Taiju
I want you gone.
[13:04] Taiju
You're a nuisance to have in our house.
[13:11] Botan
Hyoma-san, you forgot your scarf.
[13:15] Hyoma
You have my thanks.
[13:16] Taiju
There's a surprise.
[13:19] Taiju
You're a bit fond of Hyoma-kun, aren't you?
[13:22] Taiju
Wouldn't you rather have him staying over?
[13:24] Tsubaki
Seems like frequent visits over a long
time would offer more chances than
[13:29] Tsubaki
him learning it all in a
short time and then leaving.
[13:31] Taiju
Wouldn't him staying over
make it easier to go after him
[13:35] Taiju
when Nagatsuki Botan's not around?
[13:39] Tsubaki
Well...
[13:41] Tsubaki
Maybe.
[13:46] Hyoma
You heard us talking there?!
[13:48] Botan
I'm afraid so.
[13:50] Hyoma
And you went to ask Kadomori the truth?
[13:54] Hyoma
That's quite bold.
[13:55] Botan
I mean... you just left
without saying anything, so...
[14:01] Botan
I thought you might not want to stay
in our house anymore because of that.
[14:07] Botan
Of course I was worried.
[14:11] Hyoma
I apologize.
[14:13] Botan
But it should matter a lot to you, right?
[14:19] Hyoma
Well...
[14:23] Hyoma
To be frank, I assumed
that part was nonsense.
[14:28] Hyoma
The idea of you being responsible for
the paper umbrella is transparently false.
[14:34] Hyoma
I learned only one thing: that I am too weak.
[14:39] Hyoma
Thus, I must train.
[14:41] Hyoma
The next time we meet, I will force out
the truth about the paper umbrella.
[14:46] Botan
You're really amazing, Hyoma-san.
[14:49] Botan
When you set your eye on something,
you never waver in going after it.
[14:54] Hyoma
W-Well...
[14:55] Botan
You trust that part of yourself.
[15:00] Hyoma
Botan?
[15:02] Botan
There's another truth that
tsukumogami, Kai, revealed.
[15:08] Botan
I really can't trust others.
[15:14] Hyoma
May I ask what happened?
[15:19] Botan
The truth is...
[15:21] Botan
I was kidnapped once.
[15:24] Botan
When I was seven,
[15:26] Botan
a whole parade of different
relatives offered to take me in.
[15:31] (Flashback) Relative Man
Botan...
[15:33] (Flashback) Relative Man
Would you be Botan, then?
[15:35] Botan
One was a man with kind eyes,
a distant relative.
[15:39] Botan
Another was my father's younger sister.
[15:42] Botan
She had a sour expression.
[15:45] Botan
It had been a little over three years since
I was allowed to venture off the grounds.
[15:50] Botan
But I'd already seen lots of humans and
other tsukumogami set their sights on me,
[15:54] Botan
as a vessel housing a marebito.
[15:58] Botan
My household and I were all on our guard.
[16:02] Botan
But...
[16:05] Botan
Because they were my first
blood relatives, I guess...
[16:08] Botan
I wanted them to care for me.
[16:11] Botan
I decided to trust their kindness.
[16:14] Botan
The one who kidnapped me was the woman.
[16:20] Hyoma
So she was someone you should
have been on your guard around?
[16:25] Botan
No, not her.
[16:30] Botan
She...
[16:32] Botan
Satsuki-san...
[16:34] Botan
She was trying to save me.
[16:41] (Flashback) Relative Man
Damn you!
[16:43] (Flashback) Relative Man
You can't get ahead of me, Satsuki!
[16:46] (Flashback) Relative Man
Give it back, now!
[16:47] (Flashback) Relative Man
That thing belongs to me!
[16:58] (Flashback) Satsuki
Botan-chan,
[17:00] (Flashback) Satsuki
sorry to put you through
that scary experience.
[17:04] Botan
Satsuki-san was the one
I was always watching out for.
[17:08] Botan
But I should have been
watching out for the man.
[17:12] (Flashback) Satsuki
Botan-chan.
[17:14] (Flashback) Satsuki
You are human.
[17:16] (Flashback) Satsuki
You're a human's... my brother's child.
[17:19] (Flashback) Satsuki
I'm sorry for what those
tsukumogami might think,
[17:22] (Flashback) Satsuki
but I won't let anybody use you.
[17:31] (Flashback) Satsuki
Let's live together.
[17:34] (Flashback) Satsuki
You'll find happiness as a human.
[17:37] (Flashback) Satsuki
Okay?
[17:48] Botan
While my guys were out searching for me,
[17:53] Botan
I was living a quiet,
peaceful life with Satsuki-san.
[18:01] Botan
I'd been taken from my parents
right after I was born,
[18:04] Botan
but Satsuki-san was like the mother
I'd always dreamed about.
[18:12] Botan
If I could have stayed with her,
[18:14] Botan
maybe she could have been my mother for real.
[18:24] Botan
But those peaceful days
came to an abrupt end.
[18:44] (Flashback) Botan
Satsuki-san...
[18:46] (Flashback) Satsuki
Botan...chan...
[18:50] (Flashback) Relative Man
No worries.
[18:53] (Flashback) Relative Man
I'll put Botan here to good use.
[18:58] (Flashback) Satsuki
Botan...chan...
[19:07] Botan
I don't remember anything after that.
[19:12] Botan
The next thing I knew, it was all over.
[19:17] Botan
And ever since then,
[19:21] Botan
I've been afraid...
[19:24] Botan
of being betrayed by those I care about.
[19:27] Botan
Of seeing people die protecting me.
[19:32] Botan
I'm unspeakably afraid of trusting anyone.
[19:38] Botan
I've learned how to interact confidently
with both humans and tsukumogami.
[19:44] Botan
But that's the absolute best I can do.
[19:52] Botan
I'm afraid to go any further.
[19:56] Hyoma
Any further?
[19:58] Botan
Like to have a best friend.
[20:00] Botan
The kind of relationship where you
trust all you are to someone else...
[20:07] Botan
Let alone love another person.
[20:11] Botan
I just can't.
[20:14] Botan
And so the person you are...
[20:17] Botan
Always marching forward,
[20:20] Botan
never hesitating...
[20:25] Botan
It's truly amazing to me.
[20:30] Botan
This is getting a little depressing, huh?
[20:32] Botan
Let's go home.
[20:37] Hyoma
Botan.
[20:40] Hyoma
You might find me acceptable.
[20:43] Botan
Uh... in what way?
[20:46] Hyoma
Well, I mean...
[20:49] Hyoma
Perhaps you might trust me.
[20:53] Hyoma
Do you agree?
[20:54] Botan
Um... what?
[20:57] Hyoma
After all, I refuse to die
until I achieve my life's goal,
[21:00] Hyoma
and I am undergoing training now
to ensure that is possible!
[21:04] Hyoma
You know this, do you not?!
[21:05] Botan
Y-Yes...
[21:07] Hyoma
I might add,
[21:08] Hyoma
do you think me skilled enough at manipulation
as to successfully deceive you?!
[21:12] Botan
N-No, you're very awkward, in fact!
[21:15] Hyoma
A-Awkward?
[21:18] Hyoma
True enough, I suppose.
[21:20] Hyoma
Regardless, I feel that you might
find me acceptably trustworthy.
[21:25] Hyoma
Do you agree?
[21:28] Botan
Well... I...
[21:31] Botan
I just...
[21:32] Botan
I...
[21:34] Hyoma
Botan.
[21:35] Hyoma
This I swear.
[21:36] Hyoma
I will not betray you. I will not die.
[21:40] Hyoma
I...
[21:42] Hyoma
I'll always keep you safe.
[21:52] Botan
Whe...
[21:54] Hyoma
Whe?
[21:54] Botan
Where did "keep you safe" come from?!
[21:56] Hyoma
It... It was merely an expression of resolve!
[21:59] Botan
And aren't you oversimplifying
things just a tad?!
[22:04] Botan
But...
[22:05] Botan
But can I... really...
[22:08] Botan
Can I really, really trust you?
[22:12] Hyoma
Indeed.
[22:13] Hyoma
Bring it on!
[22:20] Hyoma
What is it?
[22:21] Botan
I...
[22:23] Botan
I don't think I've ever seen you...
[22:27] Botan
really smile before.
[22:29] Hyoma
Eh?
[22:30] Hyoma
Surely, I am as capable of smiling as anyone!
[22:34] Botan
But still! I've never actually seen it!
[22:37] Botan
Yu's even said, "I suspect he even lacks
facial muscles," and stuff like that!
[22:41] Hyoma
That's very rude!
[22:44] Botan
You look kind of like a kid when you smile.
[22:47] Hyoma
I know not of what you speak!
[22:49] Hyoma
Fare thee well!
[22:53] Haori
What a surprise...
to hear her talk of old times.
[22:58] Haori
I thought it would take
a lot longer for that.
[23:01] Haori
It's very promising.
[23:03] Botan
Hey! Let's walk home together!

Darn it...

It's said that as they age,

objects take on a spirit of the divine.
[00:07] Zohei
The objects that acquire life in this manner

and gain the ability to transform themselves

are called "tsukumogami."

One day, a girl with a family of tsukumogami
[00:25] Zohei
and a boy whose family
was killed by tsukumogami
[00:28] Zohei
met in this place.
[00:31] Zohei

[02:49] (Flashback) Botan
Okay, let's open it!
[02:54] (Flashback) Botan
Yeah, it really is dusty!
[02:57] (Flashback) Nagi
How long's it been since you tidied up?
[02:59] (Flashback) Botan
I haven't touched it since
Grandpa passed away, so...
[03:03] (Flashback) Botan
Sixteen, seventeen years?
[03:05] (Flashback) Nagi
Botan...
[03:06] (Flashback) Nagi
Are we really gonna clean all this up?
[03:09] (Flashback) Suzuri
I don't like it. Dust is very bad for hair.
[03:14] (Flashback) Botan
Look, that Kunato-san guy is
gonna be staying here next week.
[03:18] (Flashback) Botan
It's our duty as hosts to get it ready for him!
[03:22] (Flashback) Botan
Nagi, Suzuri, you move the furniture out.
[03:24] (Flashback) Botan
There's some space left
in the storage room, right?
[03:28] (Flashback) Botan
Yu, you clean with me.
[03:31] (Flashback) Botan
What's the matter?
[03:32] (Flashback) Yu
Nothing...
[03:33] (Flashback) Yu
I'm remembering when you were young,
and you used to imitate us cleaning.
[03:38] (Flashback) Yu
And now you've grown so mature...
[03:40] (Flashback) Yu
I'm simply overcome!
[03:43] (Flashback) Botan
Yeah, yeah. Just do it, okay?
[03:46] (Flashback) Haori
They're having fun, aren't they?
[03:56] (Flashback) Haori
Now, let's get some tea.
[04:00] (Flashback) Nagi
Where the heck are Kagami and Kushige, anyway?
[04:04] (Flashback) Suzuri
You didn't hear?
[04:05] (Flashback) Suzuri
We need new furniture.
[04:06] (Flashback) Suzuri
So they're out shopping.
[04:10] (Flashback) Kagami
Northern European furniture
is fashionable, isn't it?
[04:14] (Flashback) Kagami
But we're a tatami mat household,
[04:17] (Flashback) Kagami
so maybe Japanese-style
antiques would look better!
[04:20] (Flashback) Nagi
I mean, we don't need Kagami. She's super weak.
[04:24] (Flashback) Nagi
But isn't Kushige better suited
to manual labor than us?!
[04:27] (Flashback) Suzuri
Given his size, he said he
didn't want to get in the way.
[04:33] (Flashback) Botan
Gosh, it's dusty!
[04:40] (Flashback) Botan
A pipe?
[04:42] (Flashback) Botan
Was it Grandpa's?
[04:44] (Flashback) Botan
Did he smoke?
[04:46] (Flashback) Yu
Sometimes. You don't remember?
[04:49] (Flashback) Botan
I was basically a baby, so...
[04:52] (Flashback) Botan
Plus, he died right after he took me in.
[04:55] (Flashback) Yu
That's right.
[04:57] (Flashback) Botan
Wow. I've never seen an
old-fashioned pipe like this.
[05:01] (Flashback) Yu
Botan, I'm going to bring the vacuum.
[05:04] (Flashback) Botan
Oh, sure.

[05:23] (Flashback) Botan
Hey!
[05:32] (Flashback) Haori
Excuse me.
[05:33] (Flashback) Haori
Did you just try to burn a young girl's face?
[05:36] (Flashback) Haori
That's a bit much for a prank.
[05:38] (Flashback) Nagi
What the hell do you think you're doing?!
[05:52] (Flashback) Yu
Nagi!
[05:53] (Flashback) Nagi
Right!
[05:56] (Flashback) Nagi
With this...
[05:59] (Flashback) Nagi
It's finished!

Keep your hand off of Botan, newbie.
[06:07] (Flashback) Botan
Oh. Grandpa's pipe...
[06:13] (Flashback) Nagi
S-Sorry.
[06:14] (Flashback) Nagi
I broke your family memento...
[06:18] (Flashback) Haori
Goodness. Goodness...
[06:20] (Flashback) Haori
Well, Nagi didn't mean any harm.
[06:25] (Flashback) Haori
Right?
[06:26] (Flashback) Botan
Yeah, I know.
[06:29] (Flashback) Botan
Thanks for saving me.
[06:31] (Flashback) Botan
And... as far as "family" goes,
[06:34] (Flashback) Botan
I'm much more relieved
that my family here is safe!
[06:37] (Flashback) Botan
I'll have it repaired and keep
it stored safe and sound.
[06:42] (Flashback) Botan
Now, let's get back to cleaning!
[06:47] (Flashback) Botan

[06:48] (Flashback) Haori
Oh, did you hear what she said?!

Starting next week,
someone's going to be living here.
[07:07] Botan
Kunato Hyoma-san...
[07:09] Botan
I wonder what he'll be like.
[07:15] Botan
Well, Grandpa, I'm heading out.
[07:23] Botan
Hyoma-san!
[07:26] Hyoma
Heading to school?
[07:27] Botan
Yeah. Have you got more
training with Kadomori-san?
[07:31] Hyoma
Yes. As befits their reputation
as the Kyoto Saenome,
[07:34] Hyoma
they've taught me a number of fighting styles.
[07:37] Hyoma
I've benefited greatly from it.
[07:38] Botan
Really?
[07:40] Botan
Well, keep at it!
[07:44] Kagami
They're certainly getting along...
but it's moving so slowly!
[07:55] Tsubaki
You'll need to do more than that, Hyoma-chan!
[08:01] Tsubaki
Checkmate!
[08:05] Hyoma
I failed to win a single match.
[08:08] Tsubaki
You're such a straightforward person,
it's really easy to read you.
[08:18] Tsubaki
Hey, Hyoma-chan.
[08:21] Tsubaki
Did Botan-chan say anything
about you visiting me?
[08:26] Hyoma
She told me to "keep at it."
[08:29] Tsubaki
I see.
[08:31] Tsubaki
She doesn't see me as a rival at all, I guess.
[08:34] Hyoma
"Rival"?
[08:36] Tsubaki
Oh, nothing.
[08:38] Tsubaki
But, now...
[08:39] Tsubaki
As thanks for the training, tell me more
about Kusui-san and Hayato-san!
[08:47] Hyoma
Ever since they were young, my brother and
sister distinguished themselves as Saenome.
[08:53] Hyoma
Before their twentieth birthday,
[08:54] Hyoma
their ascension to the leadership of
House Kunato seemed only a matter of time.
[08:59] (Flashback) Hyoma
What? Grandpa got mad at you for helping him?
[09:03] (Flashback) Hayato
Right?
[09:05] (Flashback) Hayato
Genius is never appreciated in its own time.
[09:08] (Flashback) Hayato
Remember that, Hyoma.
[09:10] (Flashback) Kusui
Idiot.
[09:11] (Flashback) Kusui
We didn't help him. We stole his job.
[09:14] (Flashback) Hayato
But we've gotta start showing
the old guard what we can do.
[09:19] (Flashback) Hayato
I'm sick of not being respected
just because I'm young.
[09:23] (Flashback) Kusui
We're just getting negative
attention like this, though.
[09:26] (Flashback) Kusui
We need to be more circumspect.
[09:31] (Flashback) Hyoma
You guys wanna become leaders
of the clan sooner rather than later?
[09:34] (Flashback) Hayato
Yeah.
[09:36] (Flashback) Hayato
We wanna reach the top.
[09:37] (Flashback) Hayato
It's what they call the impertinence of youth.
[09:40] (Flashback) Kusui
Though what we're doing right now
feels like a lot of wasted effort.
[09:44] (Flashback) Kusui
Helping protect wayward tsukumogami would
probably look a bit better, don't you think?
[09:50] (Flashback) Hyoma
"To offer guidance and maintain
order in the land of the living."
[09:55] (Flashback) Hyoma
That's what Grandpa says is
the Saenome guiding principle.
[09:59] (Flashback) Kusui
That's it! We've gotta set
a good example for Hi-kun!
[10:03] (Flashback) Hayato
Got it! Next time our schedules line up,
come watch us at work!
[10:07] (Flashback) Hyoma
Sure!
[10:12] Tsubaki
Oh, Hyoma-chan...
[10:15] Tsubaki
They really did love you, didn't they?
[10:22] Hyoma
Shall we resume our training?
[10:25] Tsubaki
Yes, we need to surpass both
Kusui-san and Hayato-san.
[10:30] Hyoma
Yes.
[10:33] Haori
Let's just make sure.
[10:35] Haori

Oh, he doesn't like this kind of thing.

Speaking of, Bon-chan, how are
things going with you and Kunato-san?
[11:51] Botan
He's not my boyfriend.
He's just crashing at my house.
[11:55] Botan
He's got work today, he said.
[11:58] Botan
And...
[11:59] (Flashback) Nagi
Hyoma has a hard time with
festivals because of his line of work.
[12:03] (Flashback) Hyoma
Hey—
[12:04] (Flashback) Botan
His line of work?
[12:09] (Flashback) Hyoma
Festivals and other parades...
[12:14] (Flashback) Hyoma
They remind me of the Night Parade
of a Hundred Demons.
[12:17] (Flashback) Botan
Night Parade? But isn't that a yokai thing?
[12:20] (Flashback) Hyoma
Well...
[12:21] (Flashback) Hyoma
It's certainly associated
with artwork of yokai,
[12:25] (Flashback) Hyoma
but it can also be drawn
as a parade of tsukumogami.
[12:30] (Flashback) Botan
So parades have unpleasant connotations...
[12:33] (Flashback) Hyoma
Well... I start speculating
on how I'd want to attack
[12:37] (Flashback) Hyoma
if it really were a parade of tsukumogami,
[12:40] (Flashback) Hyoma
and other thoughts inappropriate
to a parade... It's painful for me.
[12:46] Kei
He has problems with parades, huh?
[12:48] Botan
Yeah, that's what he said.
[12:50] Kei
If it's because he doesn't like crowds...
[12:53] Kei
That's pretty rough.
[12:54] Botan
How so?
[12:55] Kei
Well, it limits the number of
places you can go together.
[12:59] Botan
Hey!

Wait, what about work?
[13:17] Hyoma
Although I am here to watch the parade,
it's fortunate that we happened to meet.

We'll pay a visit to the
Nagatsuki household soon.
[18:31] Tsumabiki
Though we're on a leave of absence,
we do share a mission as long as we're here.

[19:54] (Flashback) Kusui
Looks like.
[19:58] (Flashback) Hayato
Hey there! What are you crying for?
[20:01] (Flashback) Kusui
You okay?
[20:14] (Flashback) Hayato
If that's the way you want it, then...
[20:17] (Flashback) Hayato
That speeds things up!
[20:19] (Flashback) Hayato
Kunato Gate Opening Technique...
Personal Style!
SIGN Chaotic Unlocking
[20:24] (Flashback) Hayato
Chaotic Unlocking!
[20:33] (Flashback) Hayato
It's expanding further.
[20:35] (Flashback) Hayato
We'll have to stop its growth and slow it down.
[20:39] (Flashback) Hayato
Kusui!
[20:40] (Flashback) Kusui
Right!
[20:41] (Flashback) Kusui
Kunato Mixed Lightning Binding Talismans!
[20:51] Hayato
The talisman effect backfired?!
[20:56] (Flashback) Kusui
It's laid out... a circle.
[21:00] Hayato
A talisman barrier for reversing techniques?!
[21:04] Hayato
Was this all a trap?!
[21:07] Hayato
But... why do you...
[21:09] Hayato
Why does a tsukumogami know
how to use Saenome talismans?!
[21:21] Hayato
It's like...
[21:23] Hayato
The impurity encroaching
into the land of the living...
[21:28] Hayato
A repulsive, malevolent god!

SIGN Celebrate! Return of the Bureau of Traditional Music
[00:07] Tsumabiki
Thank you for joining us, people!
[00:10] Tsumabiki
Kindly show some love for the comeback
show for the Bureau of Traditional Music!
[00:19] Tsumabiki
Tsuzumi.
[00:22] Tsumabiki
Fukie.
[00:23] Tsumabiki
Now, let us begin!
[00:32] Hyoma
Isn't that the Bureau of Traditional Music?
[00:34] Hyoma
What are they doing over there?
[00:36] Kagami
Hey, c'mon!
[00:38] Kagami
It's just a thing they do.
Forget them, let's go!
[00:40] Hyoma
Well... but...
SIGN Celebrate! Return of the Bureau of Traditional Music
[00:45] Kagami
C'mon! Did you forget your promise?
[00:47] Kagami
You said we'd have fun today!
[00:49] Hyoma
Ah... yes.
[00:52] Kagami
So! Where to, Hyoma-san?
SIGN Malevolent Spirits
SIGN Duet
[02:34] Suzuri
Huh? A romantic check-in?
[02:36] Haori
Yes.
[02:37] Haori
Kagami wants to find out how Hyoma-san
is feeling at this stage of things.
[02:42] Haori
And don't you feel like Botan's
starting to warm up to him, as well?
[02:48] Haori
You don't sound enthusiastic.
[02:51] Suzuri
Come on. You know Hyoma-kun.
[02:54] Suzuri
His ideas about love are so hard to read.
[02:57] Suzuri
He'll probably react to her "check-in"
in completely unpredictable ways.
[03:03] Suzuri
Besides, wouldn't I be the better
candidate for an investigation like that?
[03:07] Haori
You'd run off to hit on girls.
[03:11] Haori
Besides, I think her forthrightness
might be effective here.
[03:17] Hyoma
Kagami, I had plans to train today.
[03:21] Kagami
Just give up and accept this, okay?
[03:23] Hyoma
Still, when you say we'll "have fun"...
[03:25] Hyoma
Where are we going? A park?
[03:27] Kagami
We're not little kids!
[03:29] Hyoma
That's for little kids?
[03:35] Kagami
Hey, Hyoma-san...
[03:37] Kagami
When was the last time you just had fun?
[03:42] Hyoma
All I've done is train for
as long as I can remember.
[03:45] Kagami
I've never heard him so plaintive...
[03:49] Kagami
But I can worry about that later.
[03:52] Kagami
Okay!
[03:54] Kagami
I'll take the lead for today.
[03:56] Kagami
Education for your future!
[03:59] Hyoma
For my future?
[04:00] Kagami
Yep!
[04:01] Kagami
Shoyokyo!
[04:04] Kagami
Info linking mode!
[04:06] Kagami
I'm using mirrors to seek out
routes that will take us
[04:09] Kagami
to the best shops while avoiding big crowds!
[04:14] Hyoma
W-Wait!
[04:15] Hyoma
Should you be using your
tsukumogami powers so openly?
[04:18] Kagami
I have it! I have it!
[04:19] Kagami
I've visualized the dating course!
[04:21] Hyoma
The dating... course?
[04:23] Kagami
Okay! Moving out!
[04:27] Hyoma
Please be gentle with me.
[04:33] Kagami
First, you'll visit a bunch of shops
[04:35] Kagami
and check out all the hottest fashions.
[04:39] Hyoma
Is this... fun?
[04:41] Kagami
Ta-da!
[04:43] Kagami
Well?
[04:45] Hyoma
Kagami!
[04:45] Hyoma
What did I tell you about
using your powers openly?!
[04:48] Kagami
Nope! Wrong!
[04:50] Kagami
You got that all wrong!
[04:51] Kagami
You gotta open with a compliment. "You look
so cute!" or "What a great look for you!"
[04:58] Kagami
For lunch, you'll pick a stylish
restaurant—Italian, for instance.
[05:03] Kagami
Looks so good!
[05:05] Kagami
Huh?
[05:06] Kagami
That's all you're getting?
[05:08] Hyoma
Foreign cuisines tend to be high in calories.
[05:11] Hyoma
Foods high in fiber are
better for one's health.
[05:14] Kagami
But you're not coming here for your health.
[05:18] Kagami
Here!
[05:20] Kagami
You can have it.
[05:21] Kagami
It's really good!
[05:24] Hyoma
Very well, then.
[05:30] Kagami
You'll take the long way around
and enjoy the scenery.
[05:39] Kagami
Then you'll get moving, like this.
[05:50] Kagami
Then you'll take a rest break at a café.
[05:54] Kagami
How'd you like it?
[05:57] Hyoma
Well... I must ask...
[06:00] Hyoma
What is... "fun," exactly?
[06:03] Kagami
That's your question?!
[06:04] Hyoma
Lunch was a meal, and bowling was exercise.
[06:08] Hyoma
The rest was mostly... walking around?
[06:13] Kagami
Well, as long as you enjoy it,
I think of it as "fun"...
[06:17] Kagami
Did you not enjoy it?
[06:19] Hyoma
Is that how it works?
[06:21] Hyoma
I do believe I "had fun," then.
[06:23] Kagami
Really?!
[06:25] Hyoma
The pizza had an excellent flavor,
[06:28] Hyoma
and that was my first time ever going bowling.
[06:31] Hyoma
It was a truly interesting experience.
[06:33] Kagami
Yeah, yeah!
[06:34] Hyoma
However, Kagami...
[06:36] Kagami
Yeah?
[06:36] Hyoma
You said that this was
"education for my future."
[06:40] Hyoma
How does learning how to "have fun"
relate to my Saenome duties?
[06:45] Hyoma
"Learning that some tsukumogami
enjoy daily life activities
[06:49] Hyoma
will help make you more tolerant."
[06:52] Hyoma
Is that what it is?
[06:54] Hyoma
Why are you looking at me like that?!
[06:57] Kagami
That... That's what you were thinking about?!
[07:00] Kagami
That's the worst thing you could do!
[07:02] Hyoma
Then why are you teaching me this?!
[07:06] Kagami
For, well... you know.
[07:09] Kagami
For when you start going out with Botan.
[07:13] Hyoma
We've been through this!
[07:14] Hyoma
Why are you making these
decisions without my input?!
[07:18] Hyoma
I told you I wasn't thinking about that now!
[07:20] Hyoma
And... it clearly bothers Botan.
[07:24] Hyoma
Besides... I know little of the matter,
[07:28] Hyoma
but when a man and woman "go out"...
should not their mutual feelings...
[07:31] Hyoma
include... l-love?
[07:34] Hyoma
And... why do you look so happy?
[07:38] Kagami
No reason!
[07:40] Kagami
I'll take that reaction as a positive sign!
[07:43] Kagami
Okay, okay!
[07:44] Kagami
Can I ask you one question?
[07:46] Hyoma
What is it?
[07:47] Kagami
Well...
[07:49] Kagami
Okay, so...
[07:54] Kagami
Tell me, Hyoma-san...
[07:57] Kagami
What do you think of Botan?
[07:59] sign
Right Down the Plate
[08:01] Hyoma
What kind of question is that?
[08:03] Kagami
C'mon, just tell me!
[08:05] Kagami
It's part of today's curriculum.
[08:08] Hyoma
Well...
[08:09] Hyoma
If I must be honest...
[08:14] Hyoma
I like her.
[08:17] Kagami
Home run!
[08:23] Hyoma
She has a wonderfully calm
and cheerful disposition.
[08:28] Kagami
Yes, yes!
[08:30] Hyoma
She appears to have numerous
college friends, as well.
[08:34] Hyoma
She has saved me numerous times.
[08:37] Hyoma
I feel constantly grateful to her.
SIGN Out
[08:47] Hyoma
As for my other reasons... let me see...
[08:52] Hyoma
I find her worthy of respect.
[08:56] Hyoma
She's faced countless trials in her lifetime.
[08:59] Hyoma
Yet she faces life head-on.
[09:02] Hyoma
Or rather... she endeavors to.
[09:06] Hyoma
I believe she's a splendid person.
[09:12] Kagami
It doesn't feel quite fair.
[09:16] Kagami
The truth is, I've had mixed feelings about
pushing the engagement between you two.
[09:26] Kagami
I get that you two aren't that into it.
[09:29] Kagami
And early on, I was really scared of you.
[09:34] Kagami
But nowadays, I really feel like
you'd make a great pair.
[09:41] Hyoma
I-I... I wouldn't know!
[09:44] Kagami
Hee hee hee...
[09:46] Kagami
If manga's taught me anything,
it's that panic is a positive sign!
[09:49] Hyoma
Now, let us depart forthwith!
[09:51] Kagami
Forthwith?
[09:54] Hyoma
I feel strangely exhausted.
[09:56] Kagami
Now, now...
[09:57] Kagami
It's education for your future!
You gotta study, right?
[10:00] Hyoma
I told you I had no interest in—
[10:06] Hyoma
A tsukumogami?
[10:07] Nagi
Hyoma! Help us out here!
[10:10] Nagi
Speed's about all that coward's got going on!
[10:15] Hyoma
I see.
[10:17] Hyoma
Leave this to me!
[10:19] Hyoma
Kagami, head back without me!
[10:25] Kagami
I guess there's no changing that side of him.
[10:28] Kagami
But...
[10:30] Kagami
Yes, it's just fine.
[10:33] Kagami
Because Hyoma-san really sees Botan.
[10:43] Tsumabiki
We truly rocked out back there.
[10:47] Tsuzumi
But old lady, now that the show's behind us...
[10:50] Tsumabiki
Yes, it's time to head out...
[10:55] Tsumabiki
to the Nagatsuki household.
[10:59] Tsumabiki
What do you think of grunge for our next song?
[11:02] Tsuzumi
I'd like to play some prog rock!
[11:04] Suzuri
Why not try your hand at an idol song?
[11:06] Nagi
Metal! I wanna hear slash metal!
[11:09] Kagami
No, write something cute!
[11:10] Kagami
There's this song in my favorite anime...
[11:12] Haori
Sorry for all the commotion.
[11:14] Botan
What's going on here?
[11:16] Haori
They're sort of... comrades of ours.
[11:19] Tsumabiki
Haori, what do you think?
[11:21] Tsumabiki
Oh, that girl there!
[11:23] Tsumabiki
Can it be...
[11:24] Tsumabiki
Botan?!
[11:25] Tsumabiki
What perfect timing!
[11:27] Tsuzumi
For our next song, we'd love to
hear what's hip with the youth!
[11:31] Haori
You're scaring her!
[11:32] Haori
Besides, she's busy right now!
[11:35] Haori
By the way, where's Fukie?
[11:37] Tsumabiki
Oh, he was pulled aside for
questioning on the way here.
[11:41] Haori
Say what?
[11:43] Police
Could I see what you've got there?
[11:46] Tsuzumi
Oh, yeah! It happens all the time!
[11:49] Suzuri
Well, this is nothing new from them.
[11:51] Nagi
They never change, eh?
[11:53] Kagami
It's probably best to leave them be.
[11:57] Haori
Hyoma-san got worn out and went for a walk.
[12:00] Hyoma
I can't keep up with them.
[12:04] Botan
Maybe I'll do the same thing.
[12:12] Hyoma
I left because I couldn't keep up with them...
[12:15] Hyoma
But what was the purpose
of their visit, anyway?
[12:19] Hyoma
Still, they're exactly as Nagi described them.
[12:24] (Flashback) Nagi
Why does the Bureau protect humans, you ask?
[12:27] (Flashback) Nagi
Part of it is that they're special exceptions...
[12:31] (Flashback) Nagi
But it's also because humans
make a good audience.
[12:35] (Flashback) Nagi
Since they originated
as musical instruments,
[12:37] (Flashback) Nagi
they've got this constant urge to make music.
[12:40] (Flashback) Nagi
And they want others to hear it.
[12:42] (Flashback) Nagi
So they find humans worth
protecting as an audience.
[12:47] (Flashback) Hyoma
I see.
[12:48] (Flashback) Nagi
And... I guess 'cause they originated as
musical instruments, they're noisy as hell.
[12:53] Hyoma
They're hard to deal with
in a different way than Kai.
[12:56] Hyoma
All they talk about is music.
Never about the job.
[13:01] Kei
Oh, hey... Kunato-san?
[13:04] Kei
I thought that was you!
Haven't seen you since the other day!
[13:07] Natsuki
You remember us?
[13:09] Hyoma
You're Botan's fellow scholars, yes?
[13:12] Kei
Fellow scholars?!
[13:13] Natsuki
So stiff!
[13:14] Kei
How about "club friends"?
[13:16] Hyoma
R-Right...
[13:18] Kei
You by yourself today?
[13:20] Hyoma
Yes...
[13:28] Natsuki
Kunato-san's ours!
[13:30] Kei
We've got so many questions for you!
[13:33] Hyoma
What is the meaning of this?!
[13:35] (Flashback) Botan
Hyoma-san's got a heck of a glare,
but he's nothing to be afraid of.
[13:39] Natsuki
Kei!
[13:41] Natsuki
Into custody!
[13:43] Hyoma
Please, unhand me!
[13:46] Kei
In order to let...
the flower of love blossom...
[13:50] Kei
we must be steadfast.
[13:52] Hyoma
A haiku?!
[13:53] Natsuki
He's not trying to shake us off, though.
[13:56] Kei
He might be a good guy!
[14:02] Botan
I felt a sudden chill...
[14:08] Tsuzumi
There you are, boss!
[14:09] Kagami
We're tired. We're gonna head out.
[14:12] Nagi
They talked for three straight hours.
[14:14] Suzuri
Hear them out for us, would you?
[14:19] Tsumabiki
You've lost a bit of your old vigor.
[14:22] Tsumabiki
That old man's appearance is
more appropriate to you than ever.
[14:28] Tsumabiki
The Nagatsuki representatives are all here.
[14:31] Tsumabiki
Shall we come to the main topic now?
[14:35] Tsumabiki
We've been giving thought to
your true motivations of late.
[14:41] Haori
"True motivations"?
[14:43] Tsuzumi
Don't play dumb with us!
[14:44] Tsuzumi
Your motivations for
putting Hyoma with that girl!
[14:48] Tsumabiki
"Don't make use of Nagatsuki Botan."
[14:51] Tsumabiki
You're breaking the rule
that you yourselves set.
[14:54] Tsumabiki
That's certainly a rock attitude,
[14:56] Tsumabiki
but your claim that you invited
Hyoma here to expand his horizons
[15:00] Tsumabiki
was a big, fat lie.
[15:03] Tsumabiki
You're trying to pair them up, aren't you?
[15:09] Tsumabiki
But for what purpose?
I'd like to check my theory.
[15:15] Kei
So... is it true that you
and Bon-chan are related?
[15:19] Natsuki
Really?
[15:20] Hyoma
Ah... yes, I suppose.
[15:25] Kei
Is it?
[15:26] Natsuki
You don't interact with her the same
way Nagi-san and the others do,
[15:28] Natsuki
so I had my doubts.
[15:31] Hyoma
W-We're distant relatives.
[15:33] Kei
Does that mean Bon-chan's still single?
[15:37] Kei
It's rare to see a girl reach college
without ever having a boyfriend...
[15:42] Kei
Could she be one of the
seven wonders of the world?
[15:45] Natsuki
Hey, does that make me one
of those seven wonders, too?
[15:48] Kei
Guys like Bon-chan, though!
[15:50] Natsuki
Hey!
[15:52] Kei
I've had a bunch ask me
to introduce them to her.
[15:56] Natsuki
Really?
[15:57] Kei
But when I do, Bon-chan's always so hesitant...
[16:03] Kei
She's shy about it, I guess.
[16:05] (Flashback) Botan
Well... I'm not really into...
that kind of thing.
[16:11] Kei
But some say that could be good, since she
might be too polite to turn anyone down!
[16:15] Natsuki
Hey, come on!
[16:16] Natsuki
She won't give in that easily.
[16:18] Natsuki
Bon keeps that big family of hers together,
so she's gotta be tougher than she looks.
[16:24] Natsuki
Personally, I think that contrast
between her mother-like responsibility
[16:30] Natsuki
and age-appropriate silliness is adorable!
[16:33] Kei
You think the guys who like her
all have mother complexes?
[16:35] Kei
Yikes!
[16:37] Natsuki
My dad told me!
[16:39] Natsuki
When men reach a certain age,
they all just want their mothers!
[16:43] Hyoma
I'm not following this at all. However...
[16:48] Natsuki
Yeah, Bon-chan's just got something
that draws people to her.
[16:53] Kei
She sure does!
[16:54] Natsuki
There are tons of guys in our medieval
literature course who are into Bon-chan!
[16:59] Kei
Oh, that's crazy!
[17:01] Natsuki
Crazy, right?!
[17:03] Kei
Don't just chuckle knowingly, Kunato-san.
[17:05] Natsuki
We're talking about important things here.
[17:07] Hyoma
I don't know where I stand in it.
[17:10] Botan
Hey...
[17:11] Botan
What are we up to here?
[17:16] Botan
I'm going to ask again.
[17:18] Botan
Kei-chan, Natsuki-chan...
[17:20] Botan
Why did you bring Hyoma-san here?
[17:22] Kei
W-Well... we happened to run into him here...
[17:25] Natsuki
Right, Kunato-san?
[17:27] Hyoma
They accosted me on my walk.
[17:29] Hyoma
I know nothing further.
[17:32] Kei
He abandoned us like it was nothing!
[17:35] Botan
Are you feeling him out or something?!
[17:37] Natsuki
N-No way!
[17:38] Kei
We were trying to figure out
what your real relationship was.
[17:41] Botan
I told you, we're relatives!
[17:43] Natsuki
Chill out, Mom!
[17:45] Botan
Stop calling me "Mom"!
[17:47] Botan
Honestly, you get the weirdest ideas...
[17:49] Natsuki
Well, what do you expect?
[17:51] Natsuki
You and Kunato-san have such a great vibe.
[17:53] Kei
Yeah, yeah! You'd make a great couple!
[17:57] Natsuki
Hey, what was that?
[17:59] Kei
Could it all be true?!
[18:01] Botan
N-No, of course not!
[18:03] Botan
R-Right... Hyoma-san?
[18:06] Hyoma
Indeed, verily so!
[18:14] Natsuki
Yeah, yeah, we get the picture.
[18:17] Kei
You're just very, very close relatives!
[18:21] Natsuki
Now we've got questions for Bon-chan!
[18:24] Botan
I t-told you!
[18:27] Tsumabiki
You're doing it all to seal the
marebito inside her, aren't you?
[18:35] Tsumabiki
The marebito's last awakening was sparked
by the despair caused by human betrayal.
[18:43] Tsumabiki
Botan's soul was cut off from its human nature,
[18:46] Tsumabiki
and the marebito replaced it,
making her a living god.
[18:49] Tsumabiki
That's what we've assumed,
at least, ever since then.
[18:54] Tsumabiki
Human and living god...
[18:56] Tsumabiki
That girl stands on the boundary between them.
[18:59] Tsumabiki
And the condition that will
push her to one side or the other
[19:02] Tsumabiki
is whether she loves humanity or abandons it.
[19:05] Tsumabiki
And if the key to her fate
lies within that dichotomy...
[19:09] Tsumabiki
If she were ever to find true human happiness,
[19:13] Tsumabiki
it might put the marebito to rest forever.
[19:17] Tsumabiki
Marriage...
[19:19] Tsumabiki
As a bridal trousseau,
[19:21] Tsumabiki
you would surely consider that your
preferred method for saving your master.
[19:27] Haori
It's all very fine speculation.
[19:29] Haori
What makes you so confident
in that theory, might I ask?
[19:33] Tsumabiki
When I first laid eyes on Kunato Hyoma,
[19:35] Tsumabiki
I realized he fulfilled all possible
conditions to be Botan's life partner.
[19:41] Tsumabiki
He has the power of the Saenome
to surmount all obstacles,
[19:46] Tsumabiki
the broad-mindedness to accept her,
even knowing of her circumstances,
[19:50] Tsumabiki
and the unwavering drive to see it all through.
[19:55] Tsumabiki
It's just a sense I got...
[19:58] Tsumabiki
But I have confidence in my instincts.
[20:03] Tsumabiki
To break the rule will invite chaos.
[20:06] Tsumabiki
And yet, to aid your master,
you forced this plan into action.
[20:12] Tsumabiki
Am I wrong?
[20:13] Haori
If your theory were correct, what would you do?
[20:19] Haori
If that were, indeed, the case...
[20:22] Haori
we would do whatever it takes to see it done.
[20:35] Tsumabiki
You guys...
[20:37] Tsumabiki
You're rock as all hell!
[20:41] Haori
Er... why did you ask about it, then?
[20:44] Tsuzumi
Eh? Didn't she say at the start?
[20:47] Tsuzumi
She just wanted to check her theory!
[20:49] Tsumabiki
Turns out I was right on the money.
[20:52] Tsumabiki
Which means I get to pick
our next song style, Tsuzumi!
[20:55] Haori
Now, I never said you were right.
[20:58] Tsumabiki
Your reaction told me all I need to know!
[21:00] Tsumabiki
I'm satisfied with my intuition.
[21:03] Tsumabiki
Whatever your ambition might be, we don't care.
[21:06] Tsumabiki
Follow the path you believe in.
[21:09] Tsumabiki
We won't get in your way,
[21:12] Tsumabiki
and we won't let anyone get in our way.
[21:15] Tsuzumi
That's the motto of the
Bureau of Traditional Music!
[21:17] Tsuzumi
The rock!
[21:19] Haori
Is that all you wanted to talk about?
[21:21] Tsumabiki
Was there anything else?
[21:23] Tsuzumi
You senile old woman! The mission, remember?
[21:26] Tsumabiki
Oh, that's right.
[21:27] Tsumabiki
As you know, our job is to investigate
tsukumogami pointed out to us.
[21:33] Tsumabiki
We were wondering if you would help us there.
[21:36] Tsumabiki
We returned to Kyoto because we have
a new subject for investigation.
[21:41] Tsumabiki
We don't know who it is yet,
[21:44] Tsumabiki
but according to Aogi, who encountered it...
[21:48] Tsumabiki
it may be the paper umbrella.

[00:36] Tsumabiki
He didn't get a clear look at it,

but its aura suggested a formidable being.
[00:41] Tsumabiki
Of course, when we hear something like that,
[00:44] Tsumabiki
there's one point that catches our attention...
[00:47] Haori
"Paper umbrella."

Oh, I hear you!
[03:10] Shiho
That's kind of how we all started, too.
[03:13] Hot Guy
I've forgotten it all by now, of course.
[03:17] Kana
Oh, yeah.
[03:18] Kana
But that's just fine with us!
[03:20] Kana
"Let's enjoy campus life" is the true
motto of the Hyakunin Isshu Society!
[03:27] Hot Guy
Hey, what's your name?
[03:29] Botan
Huh? Oh... Nagatsuki Botan.
[03:34] Hot Guy
Botan-chan, huh?
[03:35] Hot Guy
That's a cute name. Nice to meet you!
[03:37] Botan
Same...
[03:41] Kana
Here's the room. Come on in!
[03:47] Hot Guy
Wow!
[03:48] Hot Guy
I didn't know colleges had Japanese-style ro—
[03:54] Hot Guy
Why'd you lock the door?
[03:59] Natsuki
Just in case.
[04:01] Hot Guy
Just in case... of what?
[04:04] Kei
Have some tea!
[04:05] Shiho
Come on in!
[04:06] Kana
Yes, come in!
[04:08] Kana
Come right in!
[04:13] Botan
The Hyakunin Isshu is made up of poems
composed by people over a thousand years ago,
[04:18] Botan
but there are some that
still resonate, you know?
[04:21] Botan
It's proof that people's feelings
never really change across the ages.
[04:25] Hot Guy
There are some love poems there too, right?
[04:28] Botan
Huh?
[04:29] Botan
Oh... yes.
[04:30] Hot Guy
Could you teach me some of those?
[04:33] Natsuki
Absolutely!
[04:35] Hot Guy
R-Right...
[04:37] Kei
For love poems... let's see.
[04:42] Kei
"The Mina River
[04:43] Kei
cascading 'neath Tsukuba
[04:45] Kei
etches a chasm.
[04:47] Kei
So floweth my love for thee,
[04:49] Kei
ever stronger and deeper."
[04:52] Kana
The source of the Mina River is
the peak of Mount Tsukuba.
[04:56] Kana
It starts as a narrow stream,
but in time, carves out a chasm.
[05:00] Kana
Little by little, the first stirrings
of affection grow into deep love!
[05:05] Kana
The poet compares that feeling to a river!
SIGN Mina River
SIGN Man Woman
[05:08] Shiho
Incidentally, here's how
you write "Mina River."
[05:12] Natsuki
It's a really straightforward love poem!
[05:16] Natsuki
It's saying "let's date!"
[05:18] Natsuki
You get it?
[05:19] Hot Guy
R-Right.
[05:20] Kei
"With thee, one moment—
[05:22] Kei
I'd die for such a treasure,
[05:23] Kei
not regretfully.
[05:25] Kei
Yet now that I have found you,
[05:27] Kei
would that life might never end."
[05:29] Kana
"I love you so much, so badly,
I'd give up my life to be with you!"
[05:35] Shiho
"But now that we're together,
I want my life to last forever!"
[05:42] Natsuki
It means, "I want to be with you for eternity!"
[05:45] Kana
Don't you long to find a love like that?!
[05:52] Natsuki
Why?!
[05:54] Kana
We finally got a hot guy in here
and he ran away from us!
[05:58] Shiho
What exactly are we doing wrong?!
[06:02] Kei
The desperation scared him off.
[06:04] Natsuki
Damn it! We don't have to take this
from the romantically attached!
[06:07] Kei
Look, it's all about fate.
[06:10] Kei
Maybe wait for the universe
to bring you someone.
[06:12] Kana
If you wait too long,
you'll just end up like me.
[06:15] Natsuki
A campus life without a boyfriend
is like an anpan without an!
[06:20] Shiho
Like katsudon without tonkatsu!
[06:22] Kana
Like a dashi rolled omelet without dashi!
[06:25] Botan
It's fun enough with just us girls, though.
[06:29] Natsuki
You don't sound very desperate to land a guy.
[06:32] Natsuki
It's almost like you've got one already!
[06:35] Kana
You're totally dating that
scary guy, aren't you?
[06:38] Shiho
That mean-looking guy?
[06:40] Botan
Seriously, I'm not!
[06:42] Botan
Hyoma-san's just a relative.
[06:44] Kei
Botan-chan, could you invite Kunato-san over?
[06:47] Botan
Huh? Why should I?
[06:49] Kei
There's something we'd like his help with.
[06:51] Botan
I can handle that.
[06:53] Natsuki
Nah, a girl can't handle it.
[06:55] Natsuki
It's physical labor, best fit for a man.
[07:02] Hyoma
All right. I'm on my way.
[07:04] Botan
You're sure? It's not too much trouble?
[07:07] Hyoma
I was in the middle of
strength training anyway.
[07:09] Hyoma
I don't mind at all.
[07:11] Botan
Sure. Okay.
[07:13] Botan
See you later, then.
[07:15] Botan
He said he's on his way.
[07:18] Kei
Okay, great!
[07:21] Kana
He comes the minute you call him.
How about that!
[07:24] Natsuki
Very interesting indeed.
[07:41] Hyoma
All right—
[07:42] Security B
Wait!
[07:43] Hyoma
What are you doing?!
[07:44] Security A
Suspicious intruder secured!
[07:46] Security B
We won't let you bring harm to our students!
[07:50] Hyoma
You've misunderstood! I was invited here!
[07:53] Security A
What?!
[07:54] Security A
Has a criminal organization
infiltrated our school already?!
[07:57] Security B
You'll be coming with us!
[07:59] Hyoma
I have no ulterior motives!
[08:01] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[08:02] Botan
What in the world?
[08:06] Botan
You got confused for an intruder?
[08:09] Botan
What a rough time.
[08:10] Hyoma
I get interrogated just for
walking down the street.
[08:15] Hyoma
Do I look that suspicious to others?
[08:18] Botan
Well...
[08:20] Botan
Not usually, but...
[08:22] Botan
You've got this hard glare sometimes...
[08:25] Hyoma
I see.
[08:26] Hyoma
My desire to arrive with
purpose was my undoing.
[08:30] Botan
With purpose? Why?
[08:32] Hyoma
You devote yourself to
the Hyakunin Isshu Society.
[08:36] Hyoma
I wished to participate with similar ardor.
[08:40] Botan
Oh...
[08:41] Botan
I wouldn't say I "devote myself"
to it... I just enjoy it.
[08:46] Hyoma
They aren't the same?
[08:47] Botan
I practiced the Hyakunin Isshu a long time ago,
[08:50] Botan
but I never planned on joining
a club about it in college.
SIGN Anime Enthusiasts
[08:56] Botan
But the club members just
came right up and talked to me,
[09:01] Botan
and that was such a refreshing experience.
[09:05] Botan
Sorry.
[09:07] Hyoma
It's clearly important to you.
[09:10] Hyoma
When you're with your fellow scholars
of the Hyakunin Isshu Society,
[09:13] Hyoma
you seem to enjoy yourself.
[09:18] Botan
I guess I do.
[09:24] Natsuki
Kunato-san...
[09:26] All
Welcome!
[09:28] Kana
Sorry to call you out all of a sudden!
[09:31] Hyoma
No, I'm glad to be of help where I can.
[09:36] Kei
Bon-chan, you've got class coming up, right?
[09:39] Kei
You should probably get to that.
[09:41] Botan
What? But...
[09:42] Hyoma
I'll be fine on my own.
[09:45] Hyoma
I'll follow your fellow scholars' instructions.
[09:48] Hyoma
You should focus on your studies, Botan.
[09:52] Botan
Okay. Good luck.
[09:55] Natsuna
Kunato-san. Over here.
[09:57] Hyoma
Right.
[10:00] Hyoma
So, what's the physical labor you—
[10:07] Hyoma
Why did you lock the door?
[10:11] Natsuki
Just in case.
[10:14] Hyoma
Good!
[10:15] Hyoma
It's important to exercise
caution at all times.
[10:19] Hyoma
You're a very sensible person.
[10:21] Natsuki
Well... thanks.
[10:24] Natsuki
Would you like some tea?
[10:26] Hyoma
Much obliged. Thank you.
[10:36] Kei
So, are you and Bon-chan dating?
[10:41] Hyoma
What?
[10:42] Natsuki
C'mon, give us the scoop!
[10:44] Kana/Shiho
What's the scoop?!
[10:46] Hyoma
It's a trap!
[10:48] Kei
"'How in love he is,'
[10:49] Kei
say the rumors that abound...
[10:51] Kei
But how can this be?
[10:53] Kei
When those soft feelings for thee
[10:55] Kei
remain virgin, clandestine..."
[10:57] Shiho
"Everyone's talking about
how I'm in love with you!"
[11:01] Natsuki
"But I only just started feeling that way,
and I didn't tell anyone about it!"
[11:06] Natsuki
It means that if you're in love,
even if you try to hide it,
[11:08] Natsuki
it's still plain as day to those around you!
[11:11] Hyoma
What? I... er...
[11:18] Natsuki
How do you really feel about Bon?
[11:21] Shiho/Kana
C'mon!
[11:22] Hyoma
H-How do I feel?
[11:26] Hyoma
I don't know...
[11:27] Hyoma
But my duty as a Saenome is clear.
[11:34] Hyoma
I have sworn a vow...
[11:36] Hyoma
that I will always keep her safe.
[11:45] Natsuki
Kunato Hyoma, you pass!
[11:48] Shiho
Keep her safe?! That's total boyfriend stuff!
[11:51] Natsuki
And you've told Bon this, right?
[11:55] Hyoma
I... have.
[11:58] Kei
So? So? What'd Bon-chan say then?!
[12:02] (Flashback) Botan
Where did "keep you safe" come from?!
[12:05] Kana
But why?
[12:06] Kana
"I'll always keep you safe"
is basically a proposal!
[12:09] Hyoma
Pro—
[12:10] Natsuki
You gotta tell us more about this!
[12:13] Shiho
How did this all go down?!
[12:17] Hyoma
Wherefore must I be subject to such inquiry?
[12:21] Hyoma
I fear I know not,
[12:23] Hyoma
but as it seems you have no labor for me...
[12:27] Hyoma
My hand is forced!
[12:29] Teacher
"In lamentation,
[12:31] Teacher
my soul wanders through the skies,
[12:32] Teacher
seeking connection

Tie yourself to me, I beg

as one secures kimono"
[12:36] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[12:37] Teacher
This poem was...
[12:38] Kana
Well, he's a pretty weird guy, but...
[12:42] Kana
"I'll always keep you safe"?
[12:43] Kana
I'd love to have a guy say that to me!
[12:45] Shiho
Botan-senpai's so lucky!
[12:48] Natsuki
There's a problem, though.
[12:50] Natsuki
They're both so shy,
they'll never make any progress like this.
[12:54] Kei
Exactly.
[12:55] Natsuki
It's time for the Hyakunin Isshu
Society to band together
[12:59] Natsuki
and get those two hooked up!
[13:00] Kana
Yeah!
[13:02] Botan
Get which two hooked up?
[13:06] Botan
Could I perhaps inquire as to
what you said to Hyoma-san?
[13:13] Natsuki
Hey, Bon!
[13:15] Natsuki
We didn't mean any harm!
[13:19] Natsuki
We were really just worried.
[13:21] Natsuki
We don't want you falling in with anyone bad.
[13:24] Kei
We just want you to be happy!
[13:28] Natsuki
Yeah, yeah!
[13:34] Botan
I've got a craving for green tea pancakes.
[13:37] Kei
Sure, let's grab some!
[13:40] Natsuki
Wanna invite Kunato-san?
[13:41] Botan
Please, just drop it!
[13:54] Botan
A parasol?
[14:00] Natsuki

[14:02] Kei
That's weird. Who carries

Have you weakened a bit?
[14:22] Shigure
Yorimashi... Nagatsuki Botan-san.

This feels kinda bad.
[14:39] Botan

[14:54] Natsuki
Wh-What's going on here?!
[14:57] Shigure
I won't let you escape.
[15:05] Botan
She's got us trapped...
[15:10] Shigure
I'm going to check on things in there.
[15:16] Natsuki
Hey, someone!
[15:18] Kei
Hey! Stop it!
[15:19] Shigure
Very thoroughly...
[15:33] Itsuki
What is it, Kai-sama?
[15:36] Kai
Oh, you know...
[15:38] Kai
I briefly felt a familiar old spirit energy.
[15:42] Kai
Things might be about to get interesting.
[15:45] Kai
It seems like it had been
masking its presence...
[15:48] Kai
but a certain someone's sure to notice.
[15:53] Hyoma
I felt it just now...
[15:56] Hyoma
That ominous spirit energy.
[15:58] Hyoma
Can it be...

You guys stay put.
[16:58] Botan
Please don't hurt the others.
[17:16] Botan
No...
[17:19] Botan
She's not looking at me.
[17:23] Shigure
Yes. The light's definitely
weakened since then.
[17:30] Shigure
And...
[17:37] Kei
Bon-chan! What's wrong?!
[17:39] Kei
N-Natsuki...
[17:40] Natsuki
Kei, go find us a way out.
[17:46] Shigure
Of course, I can't break the barrier.
[17:51] Shigure
It's got protection on it.
[17:54] Shigure
Both outside and inside.
[18:00] Shigure
Very well done.
[18:06] Shigure
But it's definitely in there.
[18:09] Shigure
Don't you worry, now.
[18:13] Shigure
I promise, we'll release you...
[18:18] Shigure
My master.

Get the hell away from Bon, you freak!
[18:27] Botan

[18:37] Kei
But... how?
[18:45] Natsuki
Kei!
[18:50] Botan
Natsuki!
[18:53] Shigure
Let's see.
[18:54] Shigure
Perhaps...
[18:59] Shigure
If I strip away the environment that
serves as nothing but a receptacle...
[19:07] Shigure
The marebito might just come out.
[19:12] Natsuki
What the...
[19:14] Natsuki
No...

What are you doing?

You're safe now, Botan!

This I swear.
[20:32] (Flashback) Hyoma
I'll always keep you safe.

[20:52] Shigure
I see.
[20:53] Shigure
Kunato Hyoma.
[20:56] Shigure
Is that you?
[20:58] Shigure
But how will you fight me
with three women to protect?
[21:03] Fukie
No need to worry there.
[21:16] Fukie
I'll be protecting them.
[21:19] Fukie

[04:18] Fukie
The barrier's been lowered.
[04:20] Fukie
All the more reason to stay close to me.
[04:24] Fukie
It's going to channel its power elsewhere.
[04:27] Fukie
To fight... or to flee?
[04:33] Hyoma
You won't escape.
[04:35] Hyoma
I have questions to ask you.
[04:37] Hyoma
But most importantly, as a Saenome,
[04:40] Hyoma
I cannot allow a tsukumogami that
harms humans to remain at large.
[04:44] Shigure
"Most importantly"?
[04:54] Shigure
Liar.
[04:55] Shigure
That part's just lip service for you, isn't it?
[05:05] Botan
She moved behind Hyoma-san in an instant...
[05:11] Shigure
That expression...
[05:14] Shigure
The one you let slip before me earlier.
[05:17] Shigure
That's how you really feel, isn't it?
[05:20] Shigure
You pursue out of a desire to destroy.
[05:23] Shigure
To protect others as a Saenome?
[05:26] Shigure
You don't look like the kind of person
motivated by such noble principles.
[05:33] Hyoma
It uses some curious movement technique...
[05:35] Hyoma
I should use talismans first
to ascertain its nature.
[05:40] Shigure
Or perhaps...
[05:42] Hyoma
Try me!
[05:44] Shigure
Kusui and Hayato...
[05:48] Shigure
Those martyrs to their cause...
You seek to imitate them?
[05:54] (Flashback) Kusui
Helping protect wayward tsukumogami would
probably look a bit better, don't you think?
[06:00] (Flashback) Hyoma
"To offer guidance and maintain
order in the land of the living."
[06:04] (Flashback) Hyoma
That's what Grandpa says is
the Saenome guiding principle.
[06:09] (Flashback) Kusui
That's it! We've gotta set
a good example for Hi-kun!
[06:13] (Flashback) Hayato
Next time our schedules line up,
come watch us at work!
[06:16] (Flashback) Hyoma
Sure!
[06:26] Botan
A paper umbrella that knows their names...
[06:29] Botan
Is she the one Hyoma-san...
[07:13] Hyoma
Die!
[07:17] Shigure
See?
[07:19] Shigure
You're not looking at anything but me.
[07:22] Shigure
You can't protect anyone.
[07:34] Shigure
Our objective has always been...
[07:37] Shigure
right here.

There's nothing to discuss.
[08:43] Haori
We will destroy you.
[08:49] Hyoma
The tsukumogami before me now
[08:53] Hyoma
are not the ones I see every day.
[08:56] Hyoma
They're some of the most powerful
tsukumogami in Kyoto...
[08:59] Hyoma
"The Nagatsuki Bridal Trousseau."
[09:02] Hyoma
Those who protect Nagatsuki Botan.
[09:07] Shigure
Destroy me?
[09:10] Shigure
Very well.
[09:12] Shigure
Who are the more worthy servants?
[09:16] Shigure
Us? Or you?
[09:21] Shigure
I think it's time we worked that out.
[09:36] Shigure
A mirror? Just one?
[09:39] Shigure
Where are the others?
[09:43] Kagami
This spirit energy... This power...
[09:46] Kagami
I'm sure of it!
[09:47] Kagami
It's a tsukumogami linked
to the land of the dead!
[09:50] Kagami
Keep your guard up, everyone!
[09:58] Nagi
I don't give a damn who you are...
[10:02] Nagi
I'll slice you to ribbons!

[10:58] Hyoma
This is the true face of the Nagatsukis.
[11:02] Tsumabiki
Now, now.
[11:03] Tsuzumi
If you're getting that just from
their destructive power,
[11:06] Tsuzumi
you've still got a lot to learn!
[11:08] Hyoma
Bureau, is Botan...
[11:11] Tsumabiki
The girl? She's with Haori.
[11:30] Tsumabiki
They fight to draw the enemy
away from their mistress,
[11:34] Tsumabiki
and keep the enemy's attacks
pointed away from their mistress.
[11:39] Tsumabiki
Truly, fighting to protect is more
difficult than fighting to defeat...
[11:44] Tsumabiki
But that's the style in which they excel.
[11:50] Hyoma
Fighting... to protect.
[11:57] Nagi
Damn it... Vanished again.

Is now a time to be lost in your thoughts?

[14:45] Haori
You kept our mistress safe until we arrived.
[14:50] Haori
On behalf of the Nagatsuki Bridal Trousseau,
[14:53] Haori
I give you my thanks.
[15:00] Hyoma
No. You're the ones who kept her safe.
[15:04] Hyoma
I became preoccupied with
defeating that tsukumogami.
[15:10] Hyoma
I protected nothing.
[15:12] Botan
That's not true!
[15:17] Hyoma
Botan?
[15:19] Botan
That's not... true at all.
[15:23] (Flashback) Hyoma
You're safe now, Botan!
[15:28] Botan
Because I...
[15:36] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[15:47] Hyoma
Botan!
[15:48] Trousseau

[15:50] Botan
I... what...
[15:53] Botan
Something... just...
[15:56] Haori
It can't be...
[16:00] Haori
Back home, everyone!
[16:02] Haori
Hurry!
[16:04] Hyoma
On our flight back to the mansion,
[16:07] Hyoma
my mind was a swirl of questions.
[16:10] Hyoma
The paper umbrella's aura...
[16:13] Hyoma
Its smell, the same as
the tsukumogami I seek...
[16:17] Hyoma
Why... If we just sealed it...
[16:21] Hyoma
As we come closer to the mansion,
[16:23] Hyoma
why do they seem to grow thicker and heavier?
[16:27] Nagi
What the...
[16:29] Nagi
They're all Kyoto Saenome.
[16:32] Nagi
What're they doing at our place?
[16:34] Nagi
Move it!
[16:41] Tsubaki
Ah, so that's the story.
[16:44] Tsubaki
Looks like they got us, Hyoma-chan.
[16:48] Tsubaki
This was their real target.
[16:54] Tsubaki
Not the destruction of the mansion...
[16:58] Tsubaki
But the keystone of protection
that dwelt there.
[17:03] Tsubaki
Their target was Kushige.
[17:07] Haori
Kushige?!
[17:09] Hyoma
It did say... "our objective"...
[17:13] Hyoma
This isn't over at all.
[17:16] Hyoma
That viscous, unmistakable spirit energy...
[17:20] Hyoma
Can there be more of it out there?
[17:22] Hyoma
Could it still be nearby?!
[17:25] Nagi
Hyoma!
[17:27] Nagi
I can sense your urge to kill from here.
[17:29] Nagi
Hold it in for now.
[17:31] Hyoma
But—
[17:37] Nagi
If the paper umbrella was in cahoots
with whoever attacked here,
[17:41] Nagi
there could be even more of them.
[17:43] Nagi
The fact that they beat Kushige means
they're at least as powerful as us!
[17:50] Nagi
You've got better things to do right now
[17:52] Nagi
than rushing out to die for nothing!
[17:55] Shigure
Our objective has always been...
[17:58] Shigure
right here.
[18:04] Hyoma
Tsubaki.
[18:06] Hyoma
The tsukumogami we encountered
said their target was Botan.
[18:09] Hyoma
If it was working with the one
who attacked the mansion,
[18:12] Hyoma
then protecting her has to come first.
[18:15] Tsumabiki
Best place for her would be Papa's place, then.
[18:25] Restoration Artist
I don't think the tsukumogami's gone for good.
[18:28] Restoration Artist
I think it sealed its own soul in its vessel.
[18:31] Restoration Artist
It's what we call a state of "pseudo-sealing."
[18:35] Hyoma
"Pseudo"?
[18:35] Restoration Artist
Yes.
[18:36] Restoration Artist
As you know, there are two ways
to eliminate a tsukumogami.
[18:42] Restoration Artist
One is to kill its living body,
the vessel made flesh.
[18:47] Restoration Artist
The other is to sever the vessel
from the soul and seal it.
[18:54] Restoration Artist
When that happens, the vessel
temporarily becomes a vault for the soul,
[18:59] Restoration Artist
and then we typically return the soul
to the land of the dead later.
[19:03] Restoration Artist
Kushige-san probably avoided death by
severing his soul just before he was destroyed.
[19:09] Taiju
I see.
[19:11] Taiju
So? Can you restore it?
[19:16] Restoration Artist
First, I have to repair the vessel.
[19:18] Restoration Artist
That's my job, so it's doable.
[19:22] Restoration Artist
But...
[19:23] Restoration Artist
Even if the external scars are fixed,
[19:26] Restoration Artist
there's no telling when
the life might return to it...
[19:29] Restoration Artist
And there's just nothing I can do about that.
[19:39] Kagami
Botan...
[19:42] Taiju
Our boarding house is nearby,
so we'll have you people stay there for now.
[19:49] Taiju
That'll be best from a safety standpoint.
[19:52] Taiju
After that... well,
it won't be up to me to decide...
[19:56] Taiju
But with the state Kushige's in,
[19:59] Taiju
you should be ready for more meddling and
severe limitations concerning Nagatsuki Botan.
[20:06] Hyoma
What do you mean by that?
[20:08] Haori
The role Kushige played
was just that important.
[20:12] Haori
You know that Kushige rarely
accompanied us on jobs, right?
[20:17] Haori
That's simply because... he couldn't.
[20:21] Haori
Because most of his power
was already in constant use.
[20:26] Haori
He maintained a barrier around
the mansion to keep enemies out,
[20:30] Haori
and maintained separate barriers
over Botan's body and mind.
[20:36] Haori
In this way, he prevented the surfacing
of the marebito inside her.
[20:42] Haori
That's why Botan could go about
her life with minimal supervision.
[20:47] Haori
Currently, though, all of those
barriers have been lifted.
[20:52] Taiju
Which means she's completely exposed.
[20:55] Taiju
There's no telling what could trigger
the marebito's surfacing.
[21:00] Taiju
If Nagatsuki-san is the one
they're after, as you heard,
[21:05] Taiju
it'll be too dangerous to let her
go out as she did before.
[21:09] Taiju
Everyone aware of the situation will agree.
[21:12] Taiju
Which means outside forces
will begin to weigh in on
[21:16] Taiju
what to do with Nagatsuki Botan from now on.
[21:20] Taiju
That's the meddling.
[21:22] Suzuri
We'll accept the limitations.
[21:25] Suzuri
Until we can work out
countermeasures, at least.
[21:29] Suzuri
But the meddling...
Depending on what it consists of...
[21:35] Taiju
Hold your tempers, now.
[21:38] Taiju
If your lot tries anything, I'll act in
accordance with my orders from above.
[21:44] Taiju
And don't go forgetting that your
mistress is currently in my hands.

I realize the fault was mine, but...
[06:30] [SONG] sign
Concentrated Soy Milk
Cold
[06:37] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[06:39] Hyoma
Botan?
[06:45] Hyoma
How are you feeling?
[06:46] Botan
I'm just fine.
[06:48] Hyoma
I see.
[06:50] Hyoma
I'm sorry I was unable to stop in right away.
[06:54] Botan
Actually, Nagi and the others
made such a fuss in the infirmary...
[06:58] Botan
I had my hands full already!
[07:00] Hyoma
Where are the others?
[07:01] Botan
They're asleep now.
[07:03] Botan
They're as worn out as you'd expect.
[07:19] Hyoma
Botan...
[07:22] Hyoma
How are you... er...
[07:26] Hyoma
I mean...
[07:29] Botan
Kushige... When I was little,
he was the one I spent the most time with.
[07:36] Botan
Everyone else would go out to work,
so it was just me and him at home.
[07:42] Botan
We played karuta and stuff.
[07:44] Botan
He was quiet the whole time,
but he was always there for me.
[07:49] Botan
He looks kind of scary and silent, but...
[07:53] Botan
He's just overly soft-spoken.
[07:57] Botan
And he always watched out for me,
just like the others did.
[08:04] Hyoma
I see.
[08:06] Botan
So...
[08:08] Botan
I know he'll wake up.
[08:12] Botan
The Bridal Trousseau all want me to get married
[08:18] Botan
and be happy...
[08:22] Botan
There's no way they'd disappear before
they got to see me off in that moment.
[08:29] Botan
He'll be okay.
[08:31] Hyoma
Honestly...
[08:33] Hyoma
You never fail to impress me, Botan.
[08:39] Botan
So... I'm not sure how to put this, but...
[08:47] Botan
See, the reason I was waiting for you was...
[08:50] Hyoma
You waited? I'm so sorry!
[08:53] Botan
No, it was just a thing I wanted to do...
[08:58] Botan
There was something... earlier...
I didn't get to tell you, remember?
[09:04] Hyoma
There was?
[09:07] (Flashback) Botan
Because I...
[09:12] Botan
I heard Kei and Natsuki
woke up earlier, by the way.
[09:19] Botan
The reason we all made it out safely
[09:24] Botan
is because you came to help us then.
[09:29] Botan
So... I wanted to say...
[09:31] Botan
Thank you... for keeping your promise.
[09:38] Hyoma
In truth, I have many regrets
about my behavior then.
[09:42] Botan
You really shouldn't—
[09:44] Hyoma
But hearing those words
from you lessens that burden.
[09:50] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[09:52] Hyoma
However!
[09:53] Hyoma
I must accomplish a method of protection
[09:56] Hyoma
that will be acknowledged
by both myself and others!
[09:58] Hyoma
Watch me!
[10:02] Botan
Yeah! I know you will!
[10:06] Zohei
I see. The paper umbrella?
[10:10] Zohei
It's a good thing the girl's safe, though.
[10:13] Hyoma
Yes. But...
[10:17] Hyoma
I didn't do it all by myself.
[10:21] Zohei
The fact that you can recognize that
is a sign of growth all on its own.
[10:26] Zohei
Hyoma...
[10:28] Zohei
It might be time for you to face it.
[10:32] Zohei
That which you've been averting
your eyes from all this time...
[10:35] Zohei
Your own power.
[10:44] Hyoma
Seeing it again like this...
[10:46] Hyoma
There's a lonely feeling to it.
[11:24] Zohei
Hyoma, you should use your own door pulls.
[11:28] (Flashback) Hyoma
But... I...
[11:30] Zohei
Yes, you haven't tried to
use them all this time.
[11:36] (Flashback) Zohei
You chose to use the ones you received
as mementos from Hayato and Kusui,
[11:41] (Flashback) Zohei
so that you would never forget
your anger about their deaths.
[11:46] (Flashback) Zohei
So that you could strike down their
murderer as a spirit of vengeance.
[11:51] (Flashback) Zohei
But now...
[11:53] (Flashback) Zohei
Since going to Kyoto,
[11:55] Zohei
you've changed, Hyoma.
[11:59] Zohei
You're seeking a power not to strike down
the enemy, but to protect others.
[12:06] Zohei
You won't get that from
Hayato and Kusui's door pulls.
[12:10] Zohei
You'll get it from your own.
[12:15] Tsubaki
Hyo-o-ma-chan!
[12:18] Tsubaki
Hey, it's me! You in or what?
[12:24] Tsubaki
Maybe he's out?
[12:27] Tsubaki
Is he still sore about yesterday
[12:29] Tsubaki
and ignoring me?!
[12:31] Hyoma
Tsubaki?
[12:33] Tsubaki
Hey, Hyoma-chan.
[12:34] Hyoma
Mind if I borrow your dojo?
[12:37] Tsubaki
Hey, is that...
[12:40] Natsuki
Sorry about yesterday.
[12:41] Natsuki
Turns out we collapsed from heat stroke.
[12:44] Natsuki
I hear you called us an ambulance?
[12:48] Natsuki
Thanks for that.
[12:49] Natsuki
Kei says thanks, too.
[12:51] Botan
Oh, no...
[12:53] Botan
I'm the one who should apologize.
[12:57] Natsuki
Why would you apologize?
[12:59] Natsuki
We're the ones who made all the trouble!
[13:02] Botan
No... I really am sorry.
[13:08] Natsuki
Green tea pancakes.
[13:10] Natsuki
I mean, we said we were gonna treat you,
but we never made it there, right?
[13:15] Natsuki
So let's go, the three of us.
[13:19] Natsuki
That's a promise, okay?
[13:33] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[13:35] Botan
What's going on?
[13:37] Botan
He seems different than usual...
[13:41] Botan
And... what's that box?
[13:45] Tsubaki
Something catch your attention?
[13:46] Botan
Tsubaki-san?
[13:48] Tsubaki
That box contains Hyoma-chan's door pulls.
[13:53] Botan
Hyoma-san's door pulls?
[13:55] Tsubaki
Yes.
[13:56] Tsubaki
He currently wields one from Kusui-san
and one from Hayato-san.
[14:00] Tsubaki
They aren't actually his.
[14:19] (Flashback) Hayato
Kunato Gate Opening Technique...
[14:21] (Flashback) Hayato
Personal Style!
[14:23] (Flashback) Hayato
Ikutachi!
[14:31] (Flashback) Hayato
Well, Hyoma?
[14:33] (Flashback) Hayato
Once you really master your door pulls' power,
[14:35] (Flashback) Hayato
you can even do moves like that!
[14:38] (Flashback) Kusui
Hi-kun, just don't imitate
that "Personal Style" part.
[14:42] (Flashback) Kusui
It's lame.
[14:43] (Flashback) Hayato
Come on, it's cool.
[14:45] (Flashback) Kusui
It's lame!
[14:46] (Flashback) Hayato
Aw, nah, it's totally cool!
[15:12] Tsubaki
Looks like he can't use them well yet.
[15:21] Botan
If they're his, why can't he use them well?
[15:25] Tsubaki
Kusui-san told me...
[15:27] Tsubaki
The door pulls are a gift from
Saenokami, a portion of its power.
[15:32] Tsubaki
Using a door pull means
[15:34] Tsubaki
using the power of Saenokami,
with whom the wielder has made a pact.
[15:38] Tsubaki
But to use them to their full potential,
[15:41] Tsubaki
there needs to be a rapport
between the door pull and its user.
[15:45] Tsubaki
But all this time, Hyoma-chan's
been using Hayato-san's and Kusui-san's.
[15:51] Tsubaki
Because of that, he's likely lost
the rapport with his own door pulls.
[15:55] Tsubaki
It's like with girls, you know?
[15:58] Tsubaki
Neglect them too long,
and they'll start to sulk a bit.
[16:00] Botan
R-Right...
[16:03] Tsubaki
But as long as he's not using his own,
he can't unleash his true power.
[16:09] Tsubaki
Even so, it's not easy to reforge
a bond once it's broken.
[16:16] Umekichi
There you are.
[16:20] Umekichi
Dad's calling.
[16:25] Taiju
Allow me to tell you why I've called you here.
[16:28] Taiju
I want to tell you what's going to
happen after yesterday's events.
[16:33] Taiju
I've called in Hyoma-kun,
Nagatsuki-san, and Haori-kun,
[16:36] Taiju
as a representative of the Bridal Trousseau.
[16:39] Taiju
First, Hyoma-kun.
[16:41] Taiju
You're free to return to
the Kunato if you'd prefer,
[16:44] Taiju
but as long as you're in Kyoto,
we'd like you to stay with us.
[16:47] Taiju
You'd be a welcome addition to our forces.
[16:51] Taiju
The same goes for you, Nagatsuki-san.
[16:54] Taiju
With Kushige out of action,
[16:55] Taiju
it's too dangerous to leave you roaming free.
[16:59] Taiju
We'll harbor you here until we've
made progress on countermeasures.
[17:03] Taiju
Sorry, but you'll need to
take leave from university, too.
[17:09] Botan
All right.
[17:11] Taiju
I know there's no asking you
to be happy about it,
[17:14] Taiju
but it's a difficult issue.
[17:17] Taiju
The best compromise we can offer is that
you'll have no limits on your movements
[17:22] Taiju
as long as you're here.
[17:25] Taiju
Ah, by the way...
[17:26] Taiju
Tsubaki's raring to invite you
to a Saenome Girls' Night.
[17:33] Taiju
Haori-kun.
[17:34] Taiju
We'll now address the matter
of the Bridal Trousseau.
[17:39] Taiju
You've been summoned.
[17:41] Haori
Understood. By whom?
[17:44] Taiju
The deputy director of the Saenome Marebito
Management Office, Department of Exorcisms...
[17:50] Taiju
The Yachimata, one of the three
Saenokami Descendent families,
[17:53] Taiju
alongside the Kunato and the Tsuji.
[17:58] Taiju
They'd like to meet with you and
discuss the question of whether
[18:03] Taiju
Nagatsuki Botan can continue
to be left under your care.
[18:06] Yui
That's unacceptable.
[18:07] Suzuri/Kagami
Agreed!
[18:09] Yui
Calling us all out together?
[18:11] Yui
Leaving Botan behind in her condition?
[18:14] Yui
It's unthinkable.
[18:15] Haori
I thought the same thing...
[18:18] Haori
But if the Yachimatas are involved,
we can't just ignore the call.
[18:22] Haori
You know that, don't you?
[18:24] Botan
Um... Is the Yachimata family that big a deal?
[18:29] Haori
Yes. The Saenome that deal with tsukumogami
[18:33] Haori
are also known as the
Marebito Management Office.
[18:36] Haori
And the three families
that lead the organization
[18:38] Haori
are known as the Three Great Houses.
[18:42] Haori
The Kunato, the Tsuji, and the Yachimata.
[18:45] Haori
It was their ancestors who were
first spoken to by Saenokami,
[18:49] Haori
and who founded the organization.
[18:51] Haori
They're also known as Saenokami Descendants.
[18:54] Haori
Powerful special exception tsukumogami
[18:56] Haori
are placed under the
Three Great Houses' supervision.
[18:59] Haori
Of those of us in Kyoto,
the Bridal Trousseau are under the Kunato,
[19:04] Haori
the Suit of Armor under the Tsuji,
[19:06] Haori
and the Bureau of Traditional Music
under the Yachimata.
[19:09] Suzuri
The reason the Yachimata
have called us out is likely
[19:11] Suzuri
because it was the Bureau that were
handling the paper umbrella investigation.
[19:16] Botan
I see...
[19:17] Hyoma
Is that the balance in place?
[19:24] Haori
How did you not know that, Hyoma-san?!
[19:26] Suzuri
Aren't you the heir to the Kunato family?
[19:28] Yui
It's unfathomable!
[19:29] Kagami
Seriously!
[19:30] Hyoma
Well... I prioritized training over study...
[19:36] Haori
Anyway, it would be difficult
to refuse the invitation.
[19:41] Haori
Besides, the Kyoto Saenome will be
looking after Botan while we're gone.
[19:46] Suzuri
The Kyoto Saenome are
the ones I'm worried about.
[19:48] Suzuri
You know as well as I do that Representative
Kadomori is a hard guy to read.
[19:54] Suzuri
If he has some other plan up his sleeve...
[19:58] Suzuri
We won't be able to stop it while we're gone.
[20:03] Kagami
In the end, Hyoma-san really is
the only one we can trust with her.
[20:19] Kagami
I know! Let's contact Zohei-san and—
[20:22] Tsumabiki
Now, now! No need to worry there.
[20:26] Tsumabiki
Because...
[20:29] Tsumabiki
We, the Bureau of Traditional Music,
will protect Nagatsuki Botan!
[20:33] Tsumabiki
We were instructed by
Representative Yachimata Kokutan
[20:37] Tsumabiki
to fill in for the Bridal Trousseau.
[20:41] Haori
Is that... true?
[20:43] Haori
Kadomori-san didn't mention that.
[20:46] Tsumabiki
We just received word
ourselves a little while ago.
[20:49] Tsumabiki
They knew you'd be sulking about it otherwise.
[20:54] Fukie
It's a logical action from the Yachimata.
[20:58] Fukie
Any further reluctance on your part
will just undermine your positions.
[21:04] Fukie
Though that would be rock
in its own way, I suppose.
[21:09] Nagi
Guess that's that.
[21:11] Haori
Nagi...
[21:12] Nagi
We're special exceptions under
human supervision, after all.
[21:16] Nagi
We have no right to refuse.
[21:18] Nagi
Which means we've just gotta do what they say.
[21:25] Yui
Very well. Let's proceed.
[21:30] Yui
But Bureau...
[21:32] Yui
If you're going to fill in for us,
[21:34] Yui
you must protect Botan with your lives.
[21:37] Tsumabiki
Understood.

If I strip away the environment that
serves as nothing but a receptacle...
[00:13] (Flashback) Shigure
The marebito might just come out.
[00:17] Botan
The marebito inside me...
SIGN Malevolent Spirits
SIGN Vow
[02:04] Botan
He said I was responsible for
the paper umbrella's activation.
[02:11] Botan
And when I went to Kadomori-san
to find out if that was true, he said...
[02:19] (Flashback) Taiju
Let me start with this.
[02:21] (Flashback) Taiju
The reason the "paper umbrella"
tsukumogami activated is still far from clear.
[02:26] (Flashback) Taiju
That's led to various parties
formulating various theories.
[02:30] (Flashback) Taiju
One such theory...
[02:32] (Flashback) Taiju
is that the trigger was that
time you were kidnapped.
[02:40] (Flashback) Taiju
The incident when those two,
calling themselves your relatives,
[02:42] (Flashback) Taiju
outwitted the Nagatsuki tsukumogami
with their fine words,
[02:45] (Flashback) Taiju
took you from them,
[02:47] (Flashback) Taiju
and then died in an accident while on the run,
[02:51] (Flashback) Taiju
while you alone survived.
[02:56] (Flashback) Botan
Yes. I remember.
[02:59] (Flashback) Botan
Although...
[03:01] (Flashback) Taiju
Although... you don't remember
the last of it, right?
[03:05] (Flashback) Taiju
The next thing you knew, you were in custody.
[03:09] (Flashback) Botan
Yes.
[03:11] (Flashback) Taiju
During that amnesiac period, you see,
[03:14] (Flashback) Taiju
you weren't human.
[03:18] (Flashback) Taiju
I don't know if it was the extreme
circumstances that caused it...
[03:22] (Flashback) Taiju
But you tagged in the marebito inside you,
and gave it ownership of your body.
[03:30] (Flashback) Taiju
The "living god" manifested,
[03:33] (Flashback) Taiju
and it saw to it that you
survived, no matter what.
[03:39] (Flashback) Taiju
Of course, no one witnessed that.
[03:42] (Flashback) Taiju
We and the Nagatsuki only
arrived on the scene later.
[03:46] (Flashback) Taiju
But around the time of the accident,
[03:49] (Flashback) Taiju
I witnessed a curious sight.
[03:52] (Flashback) Taiju
The tsukumogami in our service said
[03:55] (Flashback) Taiju
the last thing they remembered was a great
light coming from the site of the accident.
[04:01] (Flashback) Taiju
The reason tsukumogami
follow you on a daily basis
[04:06] (Flashback) Taiju
is because they see the marebito inside
you always glowing, like a light trap.
[04:13] (Flashback) Taiju
But in that instant,
[04:15] (Flashback) Taiju
they say it seemed to light
up as brightly as the sun.
[04:19] (Flashback) Taiju
The next thing I knew, every single
tsukumogami in my service
[04:24] (Flashback) Taiju
was prostrating itself in that direction.
[04:28] (Flashback) Taiju
The marebito within you
had come to the surface.
[04:31] (Flashback) Taiju
In other words, there'd been a
change of leadership inside you.
[04:35] (Flashback) Taiju
That's why you have no memory of that period.
[04:39] (Flashback) Tsubaki
And that light is what activated
the paper umbrella?
[04:44] (Flashback) Taiju
That's one theory.
[04:47] (Flashback) Taiju
"It was a signal flare for certain
clandestine entities to come out of hiding."
[04:53] (Flashback) Taiju
And indeed, the Kunatos had their run-in
with the paper umbrella not long after.
[04:57] Botan
Then... I really...
[05:00] Botan
I really am...
[05:03] (Flashback) Tsubaki
It's all so vague, though.
[05:06] (Flashback) Taiju
Like I said, it's just a theory.
[05:09] (Flashback) Taiju
In the end,
[05:13] (Flashback) Taiju
no one can say for sure
that you're responsible.
[05:17] (Flashback) Taiju
That's my opinion.
[05:21] Botan
But... it's true that there's
a marebito inside me.
[05:25] Botan
And with Kushige's barriers gone,
[05:28] Botan
at any moment, I could...
[05:36] (Flashback) Hyoma
I'll always keep you safe.
[05:40] (Flashback) Hyoma
Bring it on!
[05:49] Hyoma
Even the Bridal Trousseau will have
to do as they're told this time.
[05:55] Hyoma
They'll only be gone a few short days,
[05:58] Hyoma
but for those who are after Botan,
[06:01] Hyoma
it will be a golden opportunity.
[06:04] Hyoma
I must stop any attacks that are
attempted in their absence.
[06:09] Hyoma
I must protect Botan!
[06:22] Hyoma
Someone's watching.
[06:25] Hyoma
Have they been here from the start?
[06:27] Hyoma
No... Did they trail me?
[06:30] Hyoma
From the paper umbrella's coterie?
[06:33] Hyoma
No. This spirit energy...
[06:41] Nagi
Hyoma...
[06:43] Nagi
Don't run.
[06:45] Hyoma
Nagi?
[06:46] Hyoma
What in the world are you...
[06:47] Nagi
Stupid.
[06:49] Nagi
You're too slow!
[06:52] Nagi
Cloth? This is...
[06:54] Nagi
The Kadomori appareling technique!
[06:59] Hyoma
What are you doing?!
[07:05] Hyoma
I see.
[07:07] Hyoma
Picking up where we left off?
[07:12] Hyoma
When we first met,
[07:14] Hyoma
I could only see those swords
as a sinister threat.
[07:18] Hyoma
But I see now that they are blades of duty,
used to protect their mistress.
[07:24] Nagi
The difficulty of protecting...
[07:26] Nagi
The weight of an oath...
[07:28] Nagi
Do you understand any of it?!
[07:35] Nagi
A smokescreen?
[07:40] Nagi
A fake?!
[07:55] Nagi
Will that be enough to keep her safe?!
[08:07] Hyoma
Botan... I...
[08:22] Nagi
Not bad.
[08:24] Nagi
You didn't quite make it, though.
[08:30] Nagi
Those door pulls...
[08:33] Nagi
You use 'em pretty well.
[08:36] Hyoma
Indeed.
[08:37] Hyoma
But I can't employ their true power yet.
[08:41] Nagi
I see.
[08:43] Nagi
I just wanted to get a feel for your ability.
[08:47] Nagi
Sorry, Hyoma.
[08:50] Hyoma
Go settle what you need to.
[08:55] Hyoma
I will...
[08:58] Hyoma
It's a promise.
[09:01] Nagi
A promise to fulfill his vow to keep Botan safe?
[09:07] Nagi
How unnecessarily complicated.
[09:09] Nagi
But I like it well enough.
[09:14] Nagi
Counting on you, Hyoma!
[09:17] Nagi
That's a promise between men!
[09:21] Hyoma
And I understand the weight of it.
[09:26] Nagi
It's from Haori.
[09:29] Hyoma
Did something happen?
[09:30] Nagi
She wants me to buy booze.
[09:34] Yui
I promise! I promise we'll be right back!
[09:37] Yui
Please don't look so sad!
[09:39] Botan
Um... You're strangling me!
[09:42] Nagi
What in the world?
[09:44] Haori
Oh, welcome back.
[09:46] Haori
Apparently, a Yachimata messenger

[09:50] Haori
We're celebrating in advance
in the hopes it will all go well.
[09:55] Nagi
You wanna head out with a hangover?
[09:59] Nagi
How can you be so calm about
getting called out like this?
[10:03] Nagi
Or did you accept 'cause
you've got a plan in mind?
[10:08] Haori
I guess you'll see.
[10:11] Hyoma
May I sit with you?
[10:14] Suzuri
Bota—
[10:15] Botan
C'mon!
[10:16] Botan
Don't just worry about me.
[10:19] Botan
You've got an important meeting
coming up, right?
[10:22] Botan
I've got Tsubaki-san and the Bureau
and Hyoma-san right here...
[10:27] Botan
And I don't intend to lose
heart any time soon.
[10:31] Botan
Focus on your immediate issue
and come back soon.
[10:35] Suzuri/Yui/Kagami
B-B-Botan!
[10:37] Kagami
You've become so mature!
[10:40] Suzuri
The same girl who used to
cling to me and never let go...
[10:43] Botan
When did that happen?!
[10:44] Yui
I just can't stand to say goodbye!
[10:46] Botan
Seriously, guys...
[10:48] Kagami
Botan!
[10:49] Nagi
How long are they gonna keep at it?
[11:06] Haori
Well, Hyoma-san, take care.
[11:10] Hyoma
I will.
[11:11] Hyoma
You'll be driving all the way
to the Yachimata in Tokyo?
[11:14] Hyoma
That'll take time.
[11:15] Haori
We want to keep the fact that
we're leaving as quiet as possible.
[11:20] Yui
Understand?
[11:22] Yui
If a stranger comes by, keep the door tightly—
[11:24] Botan
How old do you think I am now?
[11:25] Kagami
Yu-chan.
[11:27] Kagami
More importantly...
[11:28] Yu
Oh, of course.
[11:30] Yu
Botan...
[11:33] Yu
Here.
[11:35] Yu
Hairpins, a hand mirror, and a parcel of ink.
[11:38] Yu
Carry them with you always.
[11:40] Yu
They will protect you.
[11:45] Yu
We shall return, Mistress.
[11:50] Botan
Sure. See you then.
[11:58] Hyoma
I'm told Tsubaki gleefully passed on
what you spoke of last night.
[12:05] (Flashback) Haori
Botan. Life with the Kyoto Saenome
may be unpleasant at first.
[12:11] (Flashback) Haori
The people there all know your background.
[12:15] (Flashback) Haori
They'll be guarded around you
until they get used to you.
[12:19] (Flashback) Botan
I know that.
[12:21] (Flashback) Botan
How about this, then?
[12:26] Hyoma
You're really going to do it?
[12:28] Botan
Of course.
[12:31] Taiju
The Bridal Trousseau's gone, then.
[12:34] Middle-Aged Saenome
Representative Kadomori!
[12:36] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
What's the meaning of this?
[12:37] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
You're keeping Nagatsuki Botan here?!
[12:40] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
Hasn't she always been viewed as
dangerous and unpredictable?!
[12:44] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
I know she looks innocent...
but that thing isn't human!
[12:48] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
We're warriors protecting Kyoto
under the Saenome name!
[12:51] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
We've got to seal her
the moment it's called for!
[12:55] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
Isn't that the reason you're
doing this, Representative?!
[12:58] Taiju
Nah, we won't do anything.
[13:04] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
Why?
[13:05] Taiju
Don't go getting the wrong idea.
[13:07] Taiju
I just mean "for now."
[13:09] Taiju
Nagatsuki Botan can't leave our territory
until it's decided what to do with her.
[13:13] Taiju
She's completely at our mercy.
[13:17] Taiju
We can wait to take action until
we're completely prepared.
[13:23] Taiju
Let's do as we like, and let her do the same.
[13:27] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
R-Representative Kadomori...
[13:30] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
No wonder you're our representative!
[13:32] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
Magnificent cunning!
[13:34] Middle-Aged Saenome 1; 2; 3
Our very own evil magistrate!
[13:37] Taiju
I'm gonna smack all of you.
[13:40] Taiju
I told them to back off,
but it's too common a sentiment.
[13:44] Taiju
They won't accept the circumstances easily.
[13:47] Taiju
Nagatsuki girl...

Don't take this place lightly.

[14:02] Young Saenome 2
I hear it's even gone rogue before.
[14:07] Hyoma

[14:08] Hyoma
The reputation that precedes
her is not a positive one.
[14:13] Young Saenome 1
She looked like some normal girl to me.
[14:15] Young Saenome 2
Huh? You saw her?
[14:18] Young Saenome 1

[14:19] Young Saenome 2
I'll have a salmon-pork combo, ma'am!

[14:51] Tamura
Tsubaki-chan introduced us.
She wanted to help out.
[14:54] Tamura
She's a good, hard worker,
[14:56] Tamura
so I'd better not see any of you
making trouble for her!
[15:01] Tamura
Good day there, Representative Kadomori.
[15:03] Taiju
T-Tamura-san, who gave you the authority...
[15:05] Taiju
And Nagatsuki-san, what possessed you to...
[15:08] Botan
I-I asked Tsubaki-san...
[15:13] Botan
Since I don't have anything
else to do while I'm here,
[15:16] Botan
I wanted to know if there
was any way I could help.
[15:19] Botan
I always feel better when
I have something to do.
[15:23] Taiju
Such a pure motive!
[15:25] Tamura
She's been cooking for a big family, she says.
[15:28] Tamura
She's a good cook, too. It's such a help!
[15:32] Young Saenome 2
Hey, is that Nagatsuki Botan?
[15:35] Young Saenome 2
Not quite what you'd imagine... right?
[15:41] Botan
Well... How about this, then?
[15:45] (Flashback) Haori
You're going to work here? Starting tomorrow?
[15:49] (Flashback) Botan
Yeah.
[15:50] (Flashback) Haori
W-Won't that cause a bit of a stir off the bat?
[15:53] (Flashback) Haori
Shouldn't you wait—
[15:54] (Flashback) Suzuri
Now, now.
[15:56] (Flashback) Suzuri
What gave you the idea to do that?
[15:59] (Flashback) Botan
I have to take a break from university,
[16:01] (Flashback) Botan
and I can't even go outside.
[16:04] (Flashback) Botan
Spending my time doing nothing
will probably be suffocating.
[16:09] (Flashback) Botan
So rather than trying my
best to stay out of sight,
[16:13] (Flashback) Botan
maybe I should actively try to fit in.
[16:17] (Flashback) Botan
Is that a bad idea?
[16:20] (Flashback) Haori
Well, I doubt Kadomori-san would complain
about you making yourself useful...
[16:25] (Flashback) Haori
Perhaps, even...
[16:27] (Flashback) Taiju
I'll put anything useful to use!
[16:31] (Flashback) Haori
Very well.
[16:33] (Flashback) Haori
Try your best for now at
whatever you want to accomplish.
[16:37] (Flashback) Botan
Right!
[16:40] Tamura
I couldn't be more grateful!
[16:41] Botan
I look forward to working with you!

Of course, Haori's group had six people
to handle the same work,
[18:40] Fukie
so we need a break.
[18:42] Botan
Thank you for everything.
[18:44] Tsuzumi
You surprise us, though.
[18:47] Tsuzumi
You've really got that rock spirit!
[18:50] Botan
Um...
[18:52] Botan
There's something I've been wondering.
[18:55] Botan
What exactly is "rock"?
[18:58] Tsumabiki/Fukie/Tsuzumi
What?!
[19:00] Tsuzumi
Listen here!
[19:01] Tsuzumi
The way of rock is...
[19:03] Tsuzumi
to struggle, break through, and move on,
[19:06] Tsuzumi
no matter what circumstances
you find yourself in!
[19:08] Tsuzumi
It's the practice of shouting
who you are from the rooftops!
[19:11] Tsumabiki
And of course, it means
something different for everyone.
[19:14] Tsumabiki
To truly go in-depth,
we'd be here all day and more.
[19:16] Fukie
That's right.
[19:17] Fukie
This is just what rock means to us.
[19:21] Tsuzumi
So seeing you throw yourself into
the Saenome like this... That's rock!
[19:27] Fukie
I regret thinking of you
as sheltered and helpless.
[19:30] Tsumabiki
Terribly sorry.
[19:32] Tsumabiki
You really are the mistress
of the Bridal Trousseau.
[19:35] Botan
Oh...
[19:38] Botan
I wonder about that.
[19:40] Botan
I think I've been jumping
at shadows for so long.
[19:45] Botan
But...
[19:45] Hyoma
Next!
[19:48] Botan
But...
[19:49] Botan
Since someone always rushing
full-speed toward what he believes in,
[19:51] Botan
a real embodiment of "rock,"
appeared before me,
[19:55] Botan
I decided I should try to take
a page from his book.
[20:01] Tsumabiki
Well, just be careful you don't go that hard!
[20:08] Tsumabiki
Well, well.
[20:10] Tsumabiki
We've got a job in.
[20:12] Botan
What about your break?
[20:14] Tsuzumi
The Saenome are exploitative employers.
[20:16] Tsuzumi
Especially regarding us!
[20:19] Tsumabiki
See you later, Botan.
[20:24] Botan
They came and went
with the force of a storm...
[20:28] Tsumabiki
Honestly.
[20:30] Tsumabiki
The minute they hear Haori's people are gone,
[20:34] Tsumabiki
the riffraff comes out of the woodwork.
[20:37] Tsukumogami 1
Out of the way! We gotta avenge our allies!
[20:39] Tsukumogami 2
We'll kidnap Nagatsuki Botan and take
our revenge on the Bridal Trousseau!
[20:44] Tsumabiki
Scrambling to take advantage of a
fortuitous situation dropped in your laps...
[20:49] Tsumabiki
You're the opposite of how Botan was earlier.
[20:53] Tsumabiki
Totally lame.
[20:55] Tsukumogami 1/2
We'll destroy you!
[20:58] Tsumabiki
Be silent!
[21:00] Tsumabiki
Without anything to play,
[21:02] Tsumabiki
you're impotent instrumentalists.
[21:05] Tsumabiki
Having you on the stage
is nothing but a nuisance.
[21:09] Tsumabiki
Right, Hyoma? Botan?
[21:21] Yu
Kagami, you need to settle down.
[21:24] Kagami
Sorry, sorry.
[21:26] Kagami

it's hard to be enthusiastic.
[21:34] Haori
Nothing to be gained from worrying now.
[21:36] Haori
We don't even know how they'll treat us.
[21:40] Haori
If things get dicey,
I'm sure Zohei-san will step in.

And we created all this merch,

[07:33] Hyoma
Kindly keep your hands to yourself.
[07:35] Hyoma
Where are Fukie and Tsuzumi?
[07:37] Tsumabiki
Called out on another matter.
[07:39] Tsumabiki
Lot of stray tsukumogami out today.
[07:43] Tsumabiki
See?
[07:45] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
Got it. On our way.
[07:48] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
We've got work.
[07:49] Middle-Aged Saenome 3
Lots of deployments today, eh?
[07:51] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
Let's go.
[07:53] Botan/Secretary
See you later!
[07:54] Botan
Take care!
[07:56] Middle-Aged Saenome 1/3
Right!
[07:57] Middle-Aged Saenome 2
See you later!
[07:59] Hyoma
Has word of Haori and the others'
absence gotten out?
[08:02] Tsumabiki
It might just have, by now.
[08:04] Tsumabiki
I begged a few others to take over my patrol
[08:08] Tsumabiki
so I could get back to my job, guarding Botan.
[08:12] Tsumabiki
I asked a bit about you, as well.
[08:15] Tsumabiki
If you'd rather go out on the hunt,
I'll protect Botan here.
[08:19] Hyoma
Don't be absurd.
[08:21] Hyoma
My duty is right here.
[08:23] Tsumabiki
It was a rude suggestion, I suppose.
[08:23] Tamura
Botan-chan, see you later.
[08:25] Secretary
See you!
[08:26] Hyoma
It was.
[08:26] Botan
Take care!
[08:39] Hyoma
Botan.
[08:41] Botan
Hyoma-san.
[08:42] Hyoma
I borrowed the spare key to the dojo.
[08:45] Hyoma
We could get some fresh air there.
[08:49] Hyoma
Would you join me?
[08:51] Botan
Oh, sure. Let's do it.
[08:57] Tsumabiki
Well... I hope the others
are hard at work, as well.
[09:04] Aogi
Sheesh, talk about a raw deal.
[09:07] Aogi
Why do we gotta handle
surveillance for Tsumabiki?
[09:12] Aogi
Ain't exactly in my job description...
[09:15] Aogi
We could ditch.
[09:17] Aogi
How 'bout it?
[09:20] Aogi
Uchiki-kun, you're too earnest.
[09:24] Aogi
You're too much of a workaholic sometimes.
[09:27] Aogi
It's gonna interfere with our spy work.
[09:31] Aogi
Oh, look at 'em go.
[09:34] Aogi
Hey, it's the Shota group.
[09:37] Aogi
Huh?
[09:39] Aogi
Hang on a minute.

Lots of deployments today.
[10:28] Taiju
I anticipated this, of course.
[10:31] Taiju
Strays coming after Nagatsuki Botan
in Haori and the others' absence,
[10:36] Taiju
increasing in number as the day goes on.
[10:40] Taiju
Still, having the appearances
skyrocket like this just today...
[10:46] Taiju
A total mobilization, maybe?
[10:50] Taiju
I don't like it.

paper umbrella?!

What happened to the car... the driver?

They're members of the
Yachimata, not amateurs.
[11:37] Yu
I doubt they'll just lie down and die.
[11:41] Yu
Besides, we're in no position
to worry about others right now.
[11:45] Yu
We know this one.
[11:48] Nagi
Its form is different from
the one we saw before,
[11:51] Nagi
but I know that spirit energy.
[11:55] Nagi
Are you the one who killed Kushige?!
[11:59] Tenjitsu
Not "the one"...
[12:01] Tenjitsu
"The ones."
[12:07] Haori
Three paper umbrellas?
[12:15] Tenjitsu
We need you to stay quiet until
we're done with our business.
[12:19] Nagi

[12:25] Tenjitsu
That won't work.
[12:27] Tenjitsu
You won't escape, no matter
how much you struggle.
[12:32] Tenjitsu
Ah, I know.
[12:34] Tenjitsu
I'll give you a nice piece of advice.
[12:36] Tenjitsu
We have partners close to you.
[12:42] Tenjitsu
They'll make their move soon, as well...
[12:45] Tenjitsu
To capture Nagatsuki Botan.
[12:49] Tenjitsu
You fell right into our trap.
[12:54] Haori
Of all things...
[12:56] Tenjitsu
I like that expression.
[12:58] Tenjitsu
Lament your powerlessness in
this moment, Bridal Trousseau.
[13:04] Nagi
Damn you!
[13:09] Yu
If you mean to eat us, you should be
prepared for the consequences.
[13:14] Yu
We'll gnaw our way out of your stomach!
[13:21] Yu
Botan... Hyoma!
[13:25] Botan
I hope they've made it to
the Yachimata household.
[13:29] Botan
Kagami said she'd email me when she did,
[13:32] Botan
but she's been strangely quiet.
[13:35] Hyoma
Does being away from them make you anxious?
[13:37] Botan
It's not like that.
[13:39] Botan
I know they'll be back soon.
[13:42] Botan
But we've been together for so long,
it's a little unsettling, I guess.
[13:48] Hyoma
Botan...
[13:49] Tsumabiki
Oh!
[13:51] Tsumabiki
I thought so when I came here the other day,
[13:56] Tsumabiki
but this dojo would be perfect for a concert!
[13:59] Tsumabiki
Right?!
[14:00] Hyoma
Could you please keep it down?
[14:06] Botan
I know we'll only be apart for a little while,
[14:09] Botan
but I take it for granted,
having them around.
[14:13] Hyoma
They surely feel the same way.
[14:16] Hyoma
I can imagine it now.
[14:18] Botan
Imagine it?
[14:20] Hyoma
The moment the talks with
the Yachimata are over,
[14:23] Hyoma
I can see Yu sending a flood of phone calls,
[14:26] Hyoma
and Kagami crying with joy.
[14:31] Hyoma
I believe I trust them, as well.
[14:42] Office Worker
They're on their way now. Take care.
[14:49] Taiju
What is it, Matsu?
[14:50] Shota
These tsukumogami are weird.
[14:53] Taiju
How so?
[14:54] Shota
They don't put up a fight.
[14:56] Shota
It's like fighting one of your puppets.
[15:00] Taiju
Puppets?
[15:01] Taiju
Matsu, out of the strays you fought today,
[15:04] Taiju
did any of them try to run away?
[15:07] Shota
Nah, they all came right for us.
[15:12] Hyoma
I hear Kushige should recover soon.
[15:15] Hyoma
Shall we visit the office
to check on him tomorrow?
[15:19] Botan
But I can't go out.
[15:21] Hyoma
It's just next door.
[15:22] Hyoma
I'm sure Representative Kadomori
will allow you that much.
[15:27] Botan
You think?
[15:28] Tsumabiki
Oh, it won't work...
[15:33] Hyoma
Don't lose heart.
[15:35] Hyoma
Why not ask Representative Kadomori?
[15:38] Hyoma
What do you want to do?
[15:40] Tsumabiki
A concert...
[15:41] Botan
Never thought I'd hear Hyoma
say he might trust my family.
[15:45] Botan
I need to tell them...
[15:51] Botan
Suzuri?
[15:53] Taiju
Tell all the deployed squads
to return right now!
[15:56] Taiju
Evacuate all noncombatants!
[15:58] Taiju
Issue order "Kanoto-3,"

[16:03] Taiju
Hurry!
[16:04] Secretary
S-Sir!
[16:05] Taiju
They fooled us.
[16:06] Taiju
Of course they wouldn't want to
[16:08] Taiju
fight their way through every Saenome
here to get to Nagatsuki Botan.
[16:11] Taiju
They just have to get where she is.
[16:15] Taiju
I don't know how they got control of them,
[16:17] Taiju
but the reason they're all appearing today
[16:21] Taiju
was likely to hold the
dispatched men in the field,
[16:26] Taiju
and leave the Kyoto Saenome
headquarters abandoned!
[16:35] Umekichi
Leave this to me, everyone!
[16:36] Young Saenome 2
Right!
[16:37] Umekichi
Damn. What's going on?
[16:41] Umekichi
You're...
[16:43] Taiju
And while we're understaffed here,
[16:46] Taiju
the star will come after Nagatsuki Botan.

[17:55] Botan
The Bureau are working
with the paper umbrella!
[18:04] Tsumabiki
Wait, umbrella!
[18:06] Tsumabiki
We're the ones in charge here!
[18:09] Tsumabiki
Isn't that what we decided?
[18:15] Tsumabiki
Now, Hyoma...
[18:18] Tsumabiki
We'd like to avoid unnecessary conflict.
[18:23] Fukie
We only want one thing.
[18:26] Tsuzumi
Please hand over Nagatsuki Botan quietly.
[18:30] Tsuzumi
I didn't want Aogi raising a fuss, so I was
forced to do something regrettable.
[18:37] Taiju
When did it start?
[18:39] Taiju
At what point were we all
just dancing to your tune?
[18:42] Taiju
If you're the ones rigging things
so that she'd be easy to take,
[18:47] Taiju
and the key to getting the Bridal
Trousseau out of the picture
[18:49] Taiju
was the attack from the paper umbrella...
[18:53] Taiju
That suggests...
[18:54] Tsuzumi
As usual, good instincts.
[18:57] Tsuzumi
We share the same goal.
[18:59] Tsuzumi
In other words, we're colluding.
[19:01] Taiju
It was the Bureau that
sealed that umbrella, as well.
[19:04] Taiju
They likely lifted the seal
and let it recover somewhere.
[19:08] Tsuzumi
Taiju...
[19:10] Tsuzumi
Please, hand over that girl without a fight.
[19:15] Fukie
That girl is not precisely human.
[19:19] Fukie
You see her the same way.
[19:21] Fukie
That's why you've always
treated her as a monster.
[19:25] Fukie
We'd just like to take her off your hands.
[19:29] Fukie
It's not a bad deal, is it?
[19:31] Fukie
And if we have a say in things,
[19:33] Fukie
we'd prefer not to have to crush you.
[19:37] Umekichi
I'm the field commander here.
[19:40] Umekichi
What do I do?
[19:43] Taiju
What do I do?
[19:45] Taiju
Ah, what an absolute nuisance.
[19:48] Taiju
She's causing as much trouble
as I originally feared.
[19:51] Taiju
Even if it doesn't harm me,
it'll cause trouble for others.
[19:56] Taiju
Nagatsuki Botan, eh?
[20:00] Taiju
Well, this could be a good opportunity.
[20:05] Tsumabiki
The Bridal Trousseau is
under our control, as well.
[20:08] Tsumabiki
Tsuzumi and Fukie are currently meeting
with Kadomori and the main Saenome.
[20:13] Tsumabiki
Your decision could spark a massive conflict.
[20:17] Tsumabiki
It's true that we have fondness for you both,
[20:19] Tsumabiki
but that doesn't mean
we can stray from our path.
[20:25] Tsumabiki
Give us Nagatsuki Botan.
[20:30] Shota
Ume!
[20:31] Middle-Aged Saenome 1
Young master! Are you safe?
[20:33] Umekichi
Big Brother?
[20:35] Umekichi
Everyone?
[20:39] Umekichi
Yes, I see.
[20:42] Umekichi
So, with that...
[20:45] Umekichi
Fukie...
[20:47] Taiju
It's a good opportunity,
[20:49] Taiju
so let me give you my impressions
of Nagatsuki Botan.
[20:54] Taiju
That girl is no more than a slightly odd human,
[20:58] Taiju
and as long as she's human,
[21:00] Taiju
the Kyoto Saenome have a duty to protect her
[21:02] Taiju
from supernatural threats
with all of their power.
[21:07] Taiju
Took a while to make that decision.
[21:10] Taiju
Really, she's a troublesome girl.
[21:14] Taiju
But...
[21:16] Taiju
It's our collective decision.
[21:19] Taiju
Besides, part of my fear has always been
that she'd be used for wicked aims.
[21:25] Taiju
Those who'd go to such lengths to get near her
[21:28] Taiju
can't possibly be up to anything good.
[21:30] Taiju
Whatever it is, I can't let it happen.
[21:34] Tsuzumi
Then... your answer is...
[21:40] Hyoma/Umekichi/Taiju
I will not!
[21:42] Hyoma
No one here would give in to demands made
by those working with the paper umbrella,
[21:44] Hyoma
nor would they be defeated by them!
[21:48] Hyoma
Most of all...
[21:50] Hyoma
I swore an oath to keep Botan safe!

He's implying he's already
got somebody with her.
[03:51] Taiju

[03:56] Taiju

with Nagatsuki-san at the moment.

When I took the chairmanship through force,
[04:18] Taiju
my predecessor called me that.
[04:22] Taiju
Shouldn't you know who
you're picking a fight with?
[04:25] Taiju
You buffoon.
[04:29] Umekichi
It's Fukie!
[04:31] Umekichi

are merely his puppets!

Are you the one who killed Kushige?!
[05:04] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
We need you to stay quiet until
we're done with our business.
[05:08] Fukie
Then, exploit their failure to
take them off the board entirely.
[05:12] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
That won't work.
[05:14] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
You won't escape, no matter
how much you struggle.

[06:41] Hyoma
Help her keep up with my movements!
[06:44] Hyoma
Understand?!
[06:47] Botan
Hyoma-san, you're bleeding!
[06:48] Hyoma
Botan.
[06:50] Hyoma
Stay close to me.
[06:55] Tsumabiki
Really, umbrella.
[06:57] Tsumabiki
You couldn't have just opened
your umbrella to snatch Botan away?
[07:03] Shigure
She was hanging too close to Kunato Hyoma.
[07:06] Shigure
Drawing her into my barrier
would have taken them both in,
[07:10] Shigure
and then he'd break out of it.
[07:13] Tsumabiki
That Kunato family technique, you mean?
[07:15] Tsumabiki
How aggravating.
[07:18] Tsumabiki
We won't get anywhere like that.
[07:20] Tsumabiki
In other words...
[07:22] Tsumabiki
We'll have to do this.
[07:27] Tsumabiki
Strip Hyoma away first!
[07:31] Hyoma
This is the crucial moment.
[08:02] Hyoma
Behind me. I knew it!

[09:05] Botan
Hyoma-san... Were you hurt?
[09:14] Tsumabiki
Enough, now.
[09:17] Tsumabiki
Hand over the girl, Hyoma.
[09:21] Tsumabiki
You'll die if you keep this up.
[09:28] Hyoma
I refuse.
[09:30] Hyoma
You should leave!
[09:36] Tsumabiki
I don't enjoy engaging in this torment.
[09:41] Shigure
Why not just get rid of him?
[09:43] Tsumabiki
Goodness, listen to you.
[09:45] Tsumabiki
It's simple, you see.
[09:48] Tsumabiki
I like him.
[09:51] Tsumabiki
In that case, Botan...
[09:55] Tsumabiki
I'll ask you. Come to me.
[09:57] Tsumabiki
Let him rest, please.
[10:23] (Flashback) Hyoma
This I swear.
[10:24] (Flashback) Hyoma
I will not betray you. I will not die.

Now, come along.
[10:44] Botan
I will not!
[10:45] Botan
I believe in him!
[10:47] Botan
I believe in Hyoma-san!
[10:49] Botan
If I give up now...
[10:52] Shigure
No. No more of that, now.
[10:56] Botan
Then I'd be the traitor!
[11:00] Shigure
The more Nagatsuki Botan loves someone,
[11:04] Shigure
the deeper the sleep of the
marebito within her becomes.
[11:11] Botan
To see through what you believe in...

I'm prepared to do that, too!
[11:17] Shigure
Silence, mere vessel!
[11:28] Hyoma
Do not touch her!
[11:33] Tsumabiki
They're intact.
[11:34] Tsumabiki
They haven't broken one bit!
[11:37] Tsumabiki
They truly are...
[11:40] Tsumabiki
strong.
[11:45] Hyoma
Stay there and watch.
[11:48] Hyoma
I told you, remember?
[11:50] Hyoma
That I would accomplish
a method of protection
[11:52] Hyoma
that would be acknowledged
by both myself and others!
[11:56] Botan
Yes!
[11:59] Tsumabiki
I suppose you leave me no choice.
[12:01] Tsumabiki
This battle is to the death now, Hyoma.
[12:07] Tsubaki
Sounds like fun!
[12:09] Tsubaki
Mind if I join in?
[12:20] Tsubaki
Goodness me.
[12:22] Tsubaki
It took a lot of time, but...
[12:25] Tsubaki
Here we go.
[12:28] Tsubaki
I sure hope it's not over yet.
[12:37] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Botan-chan's under attack.
[12:39] (Flashback) Tsubaki
It's the Bureau and that paper umbrella.
[12:44] (Flashback) Tsubaki
The Trousseau may or may not be safe, either.
[12:48] (Flashback) Tsubaki
Surely, this is no time for sleeping, is it?
[12:52] (Flashback) Tsubaki
I'd better get going, too.
[13:06] Hyoma

Are you ready yet, Matsu?!
[13:13] Shota
Okay! Front line, fall back!
[13:15] Umekichi
Great!
[13:19] Shota
You might just be his puppets, but...
[13:25] Shota
I'll give you a proper memorial!
[13:46] Shota
Damn it!
[13:47] Shota
They're all burning their
life force to regenerate!
[13:51] Saenome 3
The only way to stop them is to
seal them or destroy them entirely!
[13:55] Shota
But making it to him is gonna be hard as hell...
[14:04] Umekichi
On top of that,
if we don't remain alert at all times,
[14:07] Umekichi
we'll be hypnotized by his melody
and become puppets ourselves!
[14:11] Umekichi
He's wearing us down, physically and mentally!
[14:15] Shota
Hey! Eyes up, Ume!
[14:18] Umekichi
Crap—
[14:37] Hata
Tsubaki-san filled us in.
[14:40] Hata
She said the Kanoto-3 order'd been issued.
[14:43] Hata
So we, the special exception tsukumogami,
[14:46] Hata
will temporarily do some work
vanquishing the enemy forces!
[14:50] Koji Box
We'll offer what meager help
we can, Kadomori-san.
[14:54] Shota
That damn Tsubaki...
[14:55] Shota
I was wondering where she'd wandered off to!
[14:58] Shota
Thanks for the save!
[15:00] Shota
We're fighting a member of the
Three Great Tsukumogami...
[15:02] Shota
The Bureau of Traditional Music!
[15:13] Tsuzumi
You redistributed my vibrations?
[15:17] Tsuzumi
You created talismans to fight us specifically?
[15:20] Tsuzumi
You wily old man!
[15:27] Tsuzumi
You won't escape!
[15:31] Tsuzumi
Where'd he go?
[15:33] Tsuzumi
No, wait. This doesn't track.
[15:36] Tsuzumi
The wall behind you...
[15:38] Tsuzumi
had a window in it!
[15:50] Tsuzumi
What?!
[16:01] Tsuzumi
Can it be... This is...
[16:04] Tsuzumi
No, you are...
[16:09] Taiju
Finally awake, eh?
[16:11] Taiju
Time to get to work.
[16:13] Taiju
The protective fortress and attacking
castle of the Kyoto Saenome...
[16:18] Taiju
The estate tsukumogami, Okuu!
[16:22] Okuu
You're... my enemy?
[16:29] Taiju
That's right.
[16:31] Taiju
Get going, now.
[16:40] Taiju
No need to stick around and get crushed.
[16:43] Taiju
I left you a way out.
[16:47] Taiju
The exit leads right to me.
[16:53] Taiju
And as you crawl your way out, I gobble you up.
[16:58] Taiju
You'd better stay still, too.
[17:01] Aogi
Uchiki-kun...
[17:03] Taiju
Not listening, eh?
[17:06] Taiju
Still, I keep Okuu half-sealed most
of the time to conserve energy.
[17:12] Taiju
It awoke faster than I expected.
[17:15] Taiju
Someone must've expected the Kanoto-3
order and removed the seal.
[17:21] Taiju
In which case...
[17:25] Taiju
I suppose I'll let you do as you like.
[17:29] Taiju
Good work.
[17:31] Botan
Tsubaki-san?
[17:35] Tsumabiki
So you make your appearance here...
[17:38] Tsumabiki
Favored child of the Kyoto Saenome,
Kadomori Tsubaki.
[17:43] Tsubaki
Boy, you surprised me there!
[17:45] Tsubaki
I can't believe you guys are
working with the paper umbrella!
[17:48] Tsubaki
I didn't take you for the scheming sort.
[17:52] Tsubaki
And so...
[17:54] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan.
[17:55] Tsubaki
Is that the paper umbrella you met earlier?
[17:58] Hyoma
Yes. Its spirit energy...
[18:03] Tsubaki
I get it now.
[18:05] Tsubaki
That explains why you weren't sure
if it was the one you were after.
[18:10] Tsubaki
For a tsukumogami that devoured two Saenome,
[18:14] Tsubaki
it doesn't smell very human.
[18:17] Botan
Devoured?
[18:22] Tsubaki
Well,
[18:23] Tsubaki
it's our enemy either way, right?
[18:26] Tsubaki
I'll just have to take you both in together.
[18:32] Tsumabiki
I'd have preferred to avoid facing her.
[18:36] Tsumabiki
She's an unknown quantity, even to me.
[18:39] Tsumabiki
They say she's got talent on par with Taiju.
[18:43] Tsumabiki
But I've heard even more
troublesome rumors, as well...
[18:49] Tsubaki
Okay, Hyoma-chan.
[18:51] Tsubaki
Botan-chan's still the one they're after.
[18:54] Tsubaki
You should focus only on protecting her.
[18:58] Tsubaki
I'll take offense, while you handle defense.
[19:01] Tsubaki
That's a good role split, right?
[19:05] Tsubaki
And... even if you stopped
the bleeding with talismans,
[19:07] Tsubaki
that wound's still going to hold you back.
[19:10] Tsubaki
Though I'm sure you'll do your best regardless.
[19:13] Tsubaki
You can handle it, can't you?
[19:14] Hyoma
Of course!
[19:15] Tsubaki
There's my boy!
[19:17] Botan
Tsubaki-san, um...
[19:19] Tsubaki
No need to worry, Botan-chan.
[19:22] Tsubaki
This is our duty.
[19:24] Tsubaki
No matter how powerful the opponent,
[19:27] Tsubaki
we protect people from tsukumogami.
[19:30] Tsubaki
At risk to our own lives...
[19:34] Tsubaki
So corny.
[19:59] Shigure
She extended her scythe...
[20:07] Tsumabiki
Formation talismans...
[20:08] Tsumabiki
Talismans shaped into weapons and armor.
[20:10] Tsumabiki
I'd heard of it as a support technique, but...
[20:16] Tsumabiki
In Tsubaki's hands,
they're a terrifying weapon,
[20:19] Tsumabiki
attacking the enemy in all shapes and forms.
[20:22] Tsumabiki
My goodness. You've really got my blood racing!
[20:27] Tsumabiki
Let's play!
[20:35] Botan
Incredible!
[20:36] Hyoma
Yes, but there's something strange
about Tsubaki's demeanor.
[20:42] Tsubaki
I'm sorry, Hyoma-chan.
[20:44] Tsubaki
I'm keeping it all to myself.
[20:46] Tsubaki
But with two such fun toys in front of me...
[20:51] Tsubaki
I just don't want to let anyone have them!
[21:17] Tsumabiki
Damnation!

It's just as the rumors said.
[01:35] Tsumabiki

Kadomori Tsubaki...
[03:31] Tsumabiki
During the war between the
Kyoto Saenome and the Sogenbi,
[03:36] Tsumabiki
while Saenome and
tsukumogami alike were dying,
[03:40] Tsumabiki
she danced, laughing,
through the enemy lines...
[03:44] Tsumabiki
The one who mastered the
Kyoto Saenome's special technique,
[03:47] Tsumabiki
Ten Vessels Sparring,
at the tender age of eight...
[03:50] Tsumabiki
Who at ten years old surpassed
not only her brothers,
[03:53] Tsumabiki
but even veteran Saenome...
[03:57] Tsumabiki
The Kadomori prodigy.
[04:06] Tsumabiki
Umbrella!
[04:13] Tsubaki
Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
[04:16] Shigure
Stay on target, talisman user.
[04:26] Tsumabiki
I'll let the umbrella occupy Tsubaki.
[04:29] Tsumabiki
I'm dealing with you, Hyoma.
[04:34] Tsumabiki
I love that expression!
[04:37] Tsumabiki
You've processed the fact
that we're enemies, then?
[04:42] Hyoma
Yes.
[04:43] Hyoma
I've gotten over my shock...
[04:45] Hyoma
at you just being one of those
pathetic tsukumogami who yearn
[04:50] Hyoma
for the vague something
hiding inside Botan.
[04:54] Hyoma
After all your talk of "rock"...
[04:56] Hyoma
You sicken me!
[05:00] Tsumabiki
The key.
[05:02] Tsumabiki
That girl is the key!
[05:06] Hyoma
Key?
[05:07] Tsumabiki
There's nothing "vague" about it.
[05:09] Tsumabiki
We know just how we'll use it.
[05:13] Tsumabiki
I don't care for being lumped in
with the mindless masses!
[05:18] Hyoma
What do you mean by "key"?
[05:21] Hyoma
What are you going to use Botan to accomplish?!
[05:25] Hyoma
Tsumabiki!
[05:28] Tsumabiki
Human and marebito...
spirits of different worlds.
[05:34] Tsumabiki
Nagatsuki Botan possesses both,
and stands between those worlds.
[05:39] Tsumabiki
We'll use her to open the door between
the lands of the living and the dead.
[05:48] Tsumabiki
It will lead to utter chaos.
[05:50] Tsumabiki
The worlds will merge together,
leaving everything in disarray.
[05:55] Tsumabiki
That's what we're after!
[05:58] Tsumabiki
That's the stage we just can't do without!
[06:02] Botan
Chaos?
[06:04] Botan
I'm the key for... that?
[06:09] Hyoma
I don't understand.
[06:11] Hyoma
This chaos you're talking about...
[06:13] Hyoma
It would be a calamity for the
people in the land of the living!
[06:17] Hyoma
Are you saying that's what you want?!
[06:20] Tsumabiki
Let me make one thing clear to you, Hyoma.
[06:24] Tsumabiki
I have absolutely nothing against humans.
[06:29] Tsumabiki
The urge that drives us
[06:31] Tsumabiki
is the urge to be heard.
[06:34] Tsumabiki
Sound on its own means nothing.
[06:37] Tsumabiki
There must be someone to hear it.
[06:40] Tsumabiki
So we're grateful for the presence
of humans in our lives.
[06:46] Hyoma
Why, then?!
[06:47] Tsumabiki
It's the urge!
[06:50] Tsumabiki
The urge to be heard!
[06:52] Tsumabiki
To be heard on an ever grander stage,
by ever more entities!
[06:56] Tsumabiki
That desire is what drives us,
single-mindedly, down the path that we walk!
[07:03] Tsumabiki
That's what the Bureau of Traditional Music is!
[07:16] Tsumabiki
In a world like none ever seen before...
[07:19] Tsumabiki
A world where humans and marebito
interact indiscriminately...
[07:25] Tsumabiki
We'll make our sound heard by all!
[07:29] Tsumabiki
Can you imagine anything more exciting?
[07:31] Tsumabiki
This is our ambition!
[07:32] Tsumabiki
And this is the nature
[07:35] Tsumabiki
of rock!
[07:41] (Flashback) Tsuzumi
The way of rock is...
[07:43] (Flashback) Tsuzumi
to struggle, break through, and move on,
[07:46] (Flashback) Tsuzumi
no matter what circumstances
you find yourself in!
[07:48] (Flashback) Tsuzumi
It's the practice of shouting
who you are from the rooftops!
[07:52] Botan
That's what it's been... this whole time.
[07:56] Tsumabiki
My heart is racing! My mind is dancing!
[08:00] Tsumabiki
Do you feel it, Hyoma?!
[08:02] Hyoma
I do not!
[08:14] Tsuzumi
I'm not through yet!
[08:15] Tsuzumi
Not yet!
[08:17] Taiju
Devour!
[08:21] Tsuzumi
This has been a fun little game, Taiju!
[08:35] Tsuzumi
It was a good plan, though.
[09:03] Tsumabiki
His foot?!
[09:12] Tsubaki
That can't possibly be all you've got!
[09:14] Tsubaki
It's really not, is it?
[09:21] Tsubaki
Hey, what happened to that pressure of yours?!
[09:29] Tsubaki
Where'd that cut come from?
[09:32] Tsubaki
Oh, of course...
[09:35] Tsubaki
Yes, I knew there was more!
[09:39] Tsubaki
So much more fun to be had!
[09:55] Tsuzumi
Enough!
[10:00] Hyoma

[10:02] Tsubaki
Whew!
[10:04] Tsubaki
Aw, and it was just getting good!
[10:08] Tsubaki
Hang on. That voice...
[10:12] Tsubaki
Hyoma-chan?
[10:14] Hyoma
Yes. Tsubaki...
[10:17] Hyoma
The situation may have just gotten worse.
[10:20] Botan
Oh, no...
[10:27] Tsubaki
They'd have been targeting the other Saenome
so the old woman could do her work.
[10:34] Tsubaki
If they're here now, that means...
[10:39] Tsubaki
We're out of allies.
[10:42] Tsumabiki
So sorry, Hyoma.
[10:44] Tsumabiki

No, she can't escape.
[11:11] Tsumabiki
Didn't I tell you? The gang's all here.
[11:15] Tsumabiki

An attack?
[11:21] Tsubaki
No, it's not.

I can't even speak, or look away...
[18:44] Botan
Something's preventing me from doing it.
[18:54] Tenjitsu
Yes, Fukie.
[18:56] Tenjitsu
Bind Nagatsuki Botan to the spot.
[18:58] Tenjitsu
Make sure she takes in every moment of this.
[19:02] Tenjitsu
Tsumabiki and the others were naïve.
[19:04] Tenjitsu
They were trying to kill those two quickly.
[19:08] Tenjitsu
"Then we can take Nagatsuki Botan
and go," they thought.
[19:13] Tenjitsu
But wouldn't that be such a waste?
[19:18] Tenjitsu
They should be an offering.
[19:22] Shigure
What do you think, Nagatsuki Botan?
[19:26] Shigure
The sight of those two noble warriors
[19:29] Shigure
risking their lives to protect you...
[19:32] Shigure
Doesn't it spark a memory?
[19:45] Shigure
Yes. You've got it, haven't you?
[19:50] (Flashback) Satsuki
Let's live together.
[19:53] (Flashback) Satsuki
You'll find happiness as a human.
[19:56] (Flashback) Satsuki
Okay?
[20:29] (Flashback) Botan
Satsuki-san...
[20:31] (Flashback) Satsuki
Botan-chan...
[20:37] Botan
S-Satsuki-sa—
[20:42] Shigure
Oh, yes.
[20:44] Shigure
Wasn't there someone who died
protecting you once before?
[20:57] Shigure
Today's just the same.
[21:09] Tenjitsu
Nagatsuki Botan's mind had to be
sequestered to prevent disturbances.
[21:17] Tenjitsu
Kushige served that purpose,
but now that he's gone...
[21:24] Tenjitsu
There's nothing to keep what
lies beneath from surfacing,
[21:29] Tenjitsu
led by the disturbance known as despair!
[21:32] Tsuzumi
This feeling...
[21:34] Tsuzumi
Ma'am...
[21:38] Tenjitsu
Yes. It's coming!
[21:47] Tenjitsu
The living god is here!

Looks like we went into a frenzy

I... did that?

Spurred on by Fukie's song, yeah.

Matsu, where's Fukie?

He's long gone.

I think something's happened
to Nagatsuki Botan.
[03:40] Umekichi
What in the world...
[03:44] Umekichi
The tsukumogami are kneeling
and facing the same direction.
[03:51] Umekichi
This sight...
[03:53] Umekichi
Can it be...
[03:59] Kai
It's been so long.
[04:02] Kai
So great that I'm obliged
to bow my head to it...
[04:05] Kai
Such power!
[04:08] Kai
Why do you think it holds us tsukumogami
in its sway to this degree...
[04:16] Kai
Tsuji Hojo?
[04:19] Hojo
Objects are meant to be used by humans.
[04:22] Hojo
And...
[04:24] Hojo
Tsukumogami, object spirits,
[04:27] Hojo
are meant to be used by the living god.
[04:29] Hojo
Thus, all tsukumogami fear and respect it.
[04:35] Hojo
"The being that reigns over us.
[04:38] Hojo
The master foundational to our existence."

Is "awe" the word for it?
[05:35] Tsumabiki
I can't even raise my head
to see what's going on.
[05:40] Tsumabiki
It's nothing like that
emitted by tsukumogami...
[05:46] Tsumabiki
The pressure of the living god!
[05:48] Tsumabiki
As she is now, Nagatsuki Botan may indeed
[05:51] Tsumabiki
have the power to open the door
to the land of the dead.
[05:57] Tsumabiki
But... in the end...
[06:09] Botan
You.
[06:15] Botan
Stand.
[06:23] Botan
This hole in your right shoulder...
[06:27] Botan
How did it happen?
[06:29] Botan
Tell me.
[06:33] Tsuzumi
During my battle with the Saenome,
[06:36] Tsuzumi
these sort of... scraps of a talisman...
worked their way into the wound.
[06:40] Tsuzumi
I can't regenerate it!
[06:44] Tsubaki
Papa's forbidden technique...
[06:47] Tsubaki
The symbol talisman, Venomous Snake.
[06:53] Botan
I see.
[06:56] Botan
How tragic.
[07:00] Botan
But...
[07:02] Botan
more than tragic, unsightly.
[07:07] Botan
You must be...
[07:09] Tsuzumi
Divine One, what are—
[07:12] Tsuzumi
Can't sp—
[07:13] Botan
...disposed of.
[07:20] Botan
Go in peace.
[07:46] Fukie
Tsuzumi...
[07:49] Botan
It appears you objects
[07:52] Botan
manifested me in the hope that
I'd do something for you.
[07:58] Botan
How conceited of you.
[08:00] Botan
Why would I listen to the
requests of mere objects?
[08:06] Botan
How I am to be,
[08:08] Botan
I will decide for myself.
[08:12] Tsumabiki
I miscalculated.
[08:13] Tsumabiki
It wasn't like this before.
[08:16] Tsumabiki
The living god we saw before
[08:19] Tsumabiki
spoke and acted like a child.
[08:25] Tenjitsu
To think that as Nagatsuki Botan matured,
[08:28] Tenjitsu
it would gain this degree of individuality.
[08:33] Tsumabiki
It can't be stopped.
[08:35] Tsumabiki
No one could ever stop it!
[08:41] Tenjitsu
But...
[08:42] Tenjitsu
All the more reason why...
[08:47] Hyoma
Give her back.
[09:04] Tenjitsu
Kunato...
[09:06] Tsumabiki
Hyoma!
[09:11] Botan
Are you...
[09:14] Fubuki
It's weakened?
[09:17] Hyoma
Give Botan back.
[09:23] Hyoma
She's not...
[09:25] Hyoma
alone any longer.
[09:29] Hyoma
Because she has so many people with her.
[09:35] Botan
Stay away...
[09:36] Hyoma
Because she's tried to be strong...
[09:38] (Flashback) Botan
You can change. You can overcome this.
[09:43] (Flashback) Botan
I know you can.
[09:46] (Flashback) Botan
You know I speak with authority, right?
[09:51] Hyoma
...and kept on walking!
[09:58] Hyoma
Not as a yorimashi.
[10:00] Hyoma
Not as a living god.
[10:03] Hyoma
Nagatsuki Botan has people waiting for her.
[10:08] Hyoma
Give her back!
[10:10] Botan
Th-This place is...

Protecting her...
[10:45] Hyoma
Protecting her all this time...
Was that not the source of your pride?!
[10:50] Hyoma
She's here, right now! She's suffering!
[10:54] Hyoma
You need to be here, too.
[10:56] Hyoma
After all your lectures to me about
how hard it is to protect someone,
[10:59] Hyoma
you're just going to give up
because you're trapped?!
[11:03] Hyoma
You're going to give her up
in that deplorable state?!
[11:07] Hyoma
I know you won't do that!
[11:09] Hyoma
Show me your pride...

Out of nowhere?!

A barrier seal?!
[11:48] Tsumabiki
Can it be...
[11:49] Shigure
What could possibly
[11:53] Shigure
have brought Nagatsuki Botan back?
[11:59] Shigure
Kill him!
[12:01] Shigure
He's the one!
[12:03] Shigure
The real obstacle here!

I don't know what's going on out there...
[12:25] Yu
But...
[12:28] Yu
I feel it!
[12:30] Nagi
Yeah.
[12:31] Kagami
I can feel Botan's suffering. Her pain.
[12:36] Suzuri
Botan's soul is shivering.
[12:43] Haori
If Kushige were here, he could've
easily torn down a barrier like this.
[12:49] Haori
Perhaps that's part of why
they targeted him individually.
[12:56] Haori
But that doesn't mean there's no way out.
[13:00] Nagi
Yeah.
[13:04] Yu
I'll wind up the space itself and compress it!
[13:10] Kagami
Yu-chan!
[13:14] Yu
It's nothing. No hardship at all.
[13:18] Yu
Nothing compared to the pain
Botan's been through!
[13:23] Yu
Suffering...
[13:26] Yu
Pain...
[13:29] Yu
I never want to see her go through that again!
[13:34] Haori
That's right.
[13:36] Haori
What we want to see
[13:39] Haori
is her smile.
[13:42] Haori
Nothing more than that.
[13:53] Nagi
You said it.
[13:54] Nagi
I've worked pretty hard
to see that smile of hers.
[14:05] Suzuri
Spending every day together...
[14:08] Kagami
Playing all kinds of games...
[14:14] Kagami
We won't let it end here.
[14:18] Suzuri
Yu won't be able to keep the space
minimized like this for long.
[14:23] Suzuri
We'll only get one chance at this.
[14:26] Yu
One will be more than enough.
[14:28] Nagi
We'll settle this the moment it reaches us...
[14:34] Nagi
Tear a pinpoint hole and rip it open.
[14:36] Yu
We share a single wish...
[14:42] Trousseau
Botan's happiness!
[15:03] Kagami
Nagi! Haori-chan!
[15:04] Kagami
Now!
[15:21] Yu
No matter where we are, we'll come for you!
[15:24] Nagi
Our arrival is a foregone conclusion.
[15:28] Nagi
Isn't that right,
[15:29] Nagi
our girl?!
[15:32] Botan
You guys!
[15:33] Hyoma
Yes!
[15:35] Nagi
Sorry, Hyoma.
[15:37] Nagi
Didn't mean to keep you waiting!
[15:43] Shigure
Nagatsukis!
[15:49] Suzuri
Don't you...
[15:52] Suzuri
touch them!
[16:17] Tsumabiki
Stole them away, did you?
[16:20] Nagi
You people...
[16:22] Nagi
You've been busy in our time away, huh?!
[16:36] Botan
Yu...
[16:37] Yu
Yes. I'm so sorry we're late, Botan.
[16:41] Suzuri
You didn't necessarily have to strip
her away from Hyoma-kun, though.
[16:45] Yu
He got way too touchy-feely
with her while we were away!
[16:50] Nagi
Can you stand, Tsubaki?
[16:52] Tsubaki
Yeah, I think so...
[16:55] Nagi
Looks like you've reached your limit.
[16:58] Nagi
Tag us in, all right?
[17:00] Botan
Tsubaki-san.
[17:06] Haori
Hyoma-san.
[17:07] Haori
You should sit this one out, too.
[17:10] Haori
Kagami.
[17:11] Kagami
Right. We owe him, after all.
[17:13] Kagami
I won't let anyone touch him.
[17:19] Nagi
Hyoma.
[17:23] Nagi
You're a real man.
[17:29] Nagi

We will...
[17:36] Nagi
be the protectors.
[17:50] Shigure
Tenjitsu.
[17:51] Nagi
It's you!
[17:53] Tenjitsu
So you broke out, just like you said you would.
[17:57] Tenjitsu
I underestimated your sheer stubbornness.
[18:06] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[18:08] Tenjitsu
But the one who really disrupted our plans...
[18:13] Tenjitsu
The one I really underestimated...
[18:16] Tenjitsu
is you, Kunato Hyoma.
[18:21] Tenjitsu
How could I forget...
[18:23] Tenjitsu
what pains in the ass you Kunatos are?
[18:32] Hyoma

Genius is never appreciated in its own time.
[18:37] (Flashback) Hayato
Hyoma!
[18:39] Hyoma
Big... B-Brother?
[18:43] Nagi
What?!
[18:50] Botan
Why are you so hard on tsukumogami?
[18:55] (Flashback) Hyoma
My brother and sister were
killed by a tsukumogami.
[19:03] Tenjitsu
We are the umbrellas.
[19:05] Tenjitsu
The canopy for the divine.
[19:06] Tenjitsu
The Warazamawashi.
[19:08] Tenjitsu
We serve our master, the living god.
[19:12] Tenjitsu
Just as you do.
[19:18] Haori
Hyoma-san.
[19:20] Haori
I understand that you're upset.
[19:24] Haori
But this isn't the time.
[19:46] Tenjitsu

[20:00] Yu
Tsumabiki!
[20:12] Tsumabiki
Don't go forgetting about us, now.
[20:16] Haori
Forget you?
[20:18] Haori
How could we ever forget you...
[20:21] Haori
or the utterly foolish things the
Warazamawashi have led you to do?
[20:28] Haori
You won't escape, Bureau.
[20:31] Haori
You're going to tell us everything.
[20:33] Haori
How long you've been demeaning
yourselves by serving these monsters,
[20:36] Haori
and what exactly it is that you want.
[20:40] Tsumabiki
You won't let us escape?
[20:42] Tsumabiki
We wouldn't dream of trying!
[20:44] Tsumabiki
We came here to fight!
[20:47] Tsumabiki
We have a very good reason
why we have to, you see!
[20:52] Haori
A reason?
[20:53] Fukie
You look rather exhausted
from breaking that barrier.
[20:58] Fukie
I wonder if raw force will work on us.
[21:02] Suzuri
You seem to be missing Tsuzumi, as well.
[21:06] Tsumabiki
As you're missing Kushige.
[21:08] Kagami
I guess they really were our enemy...
[21:12] Fukie
You just realized that, Kagami?
[21:17] Nagi
I've had enough.
[21:24] Nagi
I'll slice you to ribbons!

Go ahead and try!

You handle the protection of Botan.
[06:53] Haori
We excel the most when
we're fighting to protect.
[06:57] Haori
I'm told you said that about us, Tsumabiki.
[07:01] Haori
You're halfway correct.

When someone has harmed our mistress,

It's over, then?
[08:21] Tsumabiki
Magnificent.
[08:25] Fukie
Truly magnificent.
[08:28] Fukie
Thank you for putting an end to us here.
[08:34] Fukie
When the living god manifested
[08:36] Fukie
and Tsuzumi was destroyed right before our eyes,
[08:40] Fukie
we couldn't even struggle against her.
[08:42] Fukie
We just let her go by.
[08:46] Tsumabiki
Rock ends the moment it bends to another.
[08:50] Tsumabiki
We've failed to see our resolve
through. It's our time to go.
[08:59] Hyoma

[09:13] Tsumabiki
That's right.
[09:14] Tsumabiki
More than us, with all our grand talk about it...

More than anyone here, the one trying

You were true rock.

[09:40] Nagi
Quit spinning everything
through your stupid worldview.

We just couldn't forgive you...
[09:47] Nagi
for putting Botan in danger.

I doubt you're gonna tell us anyway.
[09:54] Nagi
Kagami's Shoyokyo will reveal the past.

So...

Be cast to the four winds and die,

Yeah...

they sent their song into our hearts
[11:19] Kagami
and created an opening there.
[11:24] Kagami
Everyone!
[11:29] Tenjitsu
Finished, are you?
[11:31] Shigure
Well, then...
[11:33] Shigure
We'll be taking Nagatsuki Botan.
[11:37] Tsubaki
Leave the rest to me, Botan-chan.
[11:40] Botan
Tsubaki-san...
[11:42] Yu
Don't push yourself.
[11:44] Yu
You're clearly in no condition to fight.
[11:47] Tsubaki
Don't be ridiculous.
[11:51] Tsubaki
With all these wonderful toys
right in front of me?
[11:54] Tsubaki
I couldn't possibly sit this one out!
[11:58] Botan
Hyoma-san?
[12:00] Hyoma
No need to worry.
[12:03] Hyoma
Tenjitsu of the Warazamawashi...
[12:07] Hyoma
I'll defeat him myself.
[12:26] Tenjitsu
He's mine to hunt.
[12:29] Tenjitsu
Kindly don't interfere.
[12:31] Fubuki
Okay!
[12:33] Fubuki
Guess we'll have to hunt elsewhere!
[12:54] Tenjitsu
Half-baked.
[12:57] Tenjitsu
You're not about to tell me
this is all you have, are you?
[13:05] Tenjitsu
This is all the growth you've achieved?
[13:09] Tenjitsu
Your siblings must be so disappointed in you!
[13:13] Botan
Hyoma-san!
[13:16] Hyoma
I knew it.
[13:18] Hyoma
The spirit energy that surrounds you...
[13:20] Hyoma
The tone of your words...
[13:23] Hyoma
I remember it clearly now!
[13:26] Hyoma
In the instant before you literally
devoured my brother and sister,
[13:29] Hyoma
those words that you said...
[13:32] (Flashback) Paper Umbrella
I'll be making good use of them.
[13:38] Hyoma
I finally found you.
[13:40] Hyoma
You, wearing the skin of my brother...
[13:44] Hyoma
Tenjitsu of the Warazamawashi!
[13:47] Hyoma
You're the one!
[13:49] Hyoma
The one I've been looking for!
[13:52] Tenjitsu
Kunato Hayato and Kunato Kusui...
[13:56] Tenjitsu
I'm told they distinguished themselves
as Saenome from a very young age.
[14:00] Tenjitsu
They were considered unparalleled geniuses.
[14:03] Hyoma
What are you—
[14:04] Tenjitsu
But...
[14:05] Tenjitsu
They, who were utterly
unsurpassed in sheer ability,
[14:09] Tenjitsu
were overwhelmingly deficient in one
element necessary for a Saenome leader.
[14:14] Tenjitsu
An enemy that set traps in
the surrounding environment
[14:16] Tenjitsu
to guarantee a kill on their prey—
[14:18] Tenjitsu
They needed experience
against an enemy like that.
[14:23] Tenjitsu
But they were simply too innocent.
[14:29] Tenjitsu
Impatience creates mental blind spots.
[14:32] Tenjitsu
Those two, so desperate to become
the next heads of the Kunato family,
[14:37] Tenjitsu
were exceedingly simple to take out.
[14:40] Tenjitsu
Though I do understand why
they were in such a hurry.
[14:45] Tenjitsu
Kunato Zohei is long past his peak as a Saenome.
[14:50] Tenjitsu
And...
[14:53] Tenjitsu
Their talentless little brother
[14:55] Tenjitsu
was trying to become a Saenome
out of admiration for them!
[14:59] Tenjitsu
It must've been quite the burden
they were bearing!
[15:03] Hyoma
Don't slander my siblings! What would you know—
[15:06] Tenjitsu
I know everything!
[15:08] Tenjitsu
Because when I devoured him,
[15:10] Tenjitsu
I heard what was going through his mind.
[15:31] Hayato
We were in too much of a hurry, Grandpa.
[15:35] Hayato
Me and Kusui both...
[15:37] Hayato
Before Hyoma became a Saenome,
[15:39] Hayato
we wanted to take over the house
and lay a proper foundation...
[15:44] Hayato
And most of all,
[15:46] Hayato
we wanted to let you rest!
[15:50] Hayato
But... we couldn't tell you!
[15:54] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
These are his feelings?
[15:59] Hayato
Because...
[16:01] Hayato
You've worked twice as hard as
anyone as house leader, right?
[16:05] Hayato
And... you raised us!
[16:12] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
Human feelings are such ludicrous things!
[16:18] Tenjitsu
So the ones who drove Kunato Hayato
and Kunato Kusui to their deaths
[16:22] Tenjitsu
were their decrepit grandfather
and their useless little brother!
[16:26] Hyoma
Damn you!
[16:28] Tenjitsu
I won't get a real fight out of it,
[16:31] Tenjitsu
but I suppose I'll humor you a while.
[16:36] Tenjitsu
You never change, Hyoma!
[16:39] Tenjitsu
So straightforward and easy to read!
[16:47] (Flashback) Hyoma
Ow, ow, ow!
[16:49] (Flashback) Hyoma
Big Brother! I give, I give!
[16:51] (Flashback) Hayato
You've got a good,
straightforward attack posture...
[16:55] (Flashback) Hayato
But you'll need more,
[16:56] (Flashback) Hayato
or your opponent will read you a mile away.
[17:05] Tenjitsu
This is the result of your
admiration for your brother?
[17:19] Botan
Hyoma-san!
[17:21] Fubuki
Getting to fight to the death
with the Bridal Trousseau...
[17:24] Fubuki
Aren't I the lucky one?
[17:29] Yu
I won't let you lay one finger on Botan!
[17:35] Shigure
Fubuki, our objective is—
[17:37] Fubuki
I know, damn it!
[17:38] Fubuki
We've gotta kill these guys
and take Nagatsuki Botan, right?
[17:42] Shigure
Yes.
[17:44] Nagi
Won't let it happen.
[17:45] Suzuri
Honestly... you're annoyingly persistent!
[17:48] Suzuri
Aren't you?!
[18:06] Kogarashi
Maybe I went a bit too far?
[18:09] Kogarashi
I've made a mess of that
cute little face of yours.
[18:24] Tsubaki
Nothing satisfying about a losing battle!
[18:32] Tsubaki
Nice batting!
[18:46] Tenjitsu
What's the matter, Hyoma?
[18:48] Tenjitsu
Put up a fight, won't you?
[18:53] Hyoma
Big... Brother?
[18:57] Hyoma
I guess... I still can't beat my brother.
[19:08] Tenjitsu
Looks like you remembered.
[19:11] Tenjitsu
Our potentials as Saenome are
on completely different levels.
[19:27] Botan
The being inside me is stirring.
[19:30] Botan
It's given me instinctive understanding...
[19:33] Botan
It's no use. He's...
[19:38] Botan
A natural talent.
[19:40] Botan
Gifted, even when he was alive and human,
[19:43] Botan
with a channel that brought him
close to the Saenome itself.
[19:51] Tenjitsu
Do you hate me?
[19:58] Tenjitsu
It seems you've fought all this time,
fueled by your hatred of tsukumogami.
[20:03] Tenjitsu
But now it's all going to be for nothing.
[20:07] Tenjitsu
It's really pathetic, Hyoma.
[20:11] Tenjitsu
You'll simply die here, in vain,
[20:15] Tenjitsu
failing to avenge your siblings!
[20:25] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[20:30] Botan
Don't lose.
[20:34] Suzuri
Your reason for fighting
isn't hatred of tsukumogami!
[20:39] Yu
Like us, you're fighting to protect
someone you care about!
[20:43] Kagami
We decided we could entrust Botan to you!
[20:49] Nagi
We believe you can do this,
[20:51] Nagi
Hyoma!
[20:53] Haori
You're the one we've entrusted with Botan.
[20:55] Haori
We believe in you, son-in-law!
[20:59] Botan
Get up, Hyoma-san!
[21:14] Hyoma
My grudge against the paper umbrella...
[21:17] Hyoma
My hatred for tsukumogami...
[21:22] Hyoma
My reason for fighting is far beyond that.
[21:26] Hyoma
I swore an oath to Botan.
[21:29] Hyoma
I will not betray her! I will not die!
[21:33] Hyoma
I...
[21:35] Hyoma
I'll always keep Botan safe!
[21:41] Botan
Hyoma-san...
[21:49] Tenjitsu
Oh?

These tsukumogami were all on the list.
[00:14] (Flashback) Hyoma
In other words, they're vermin.
[00:17] (Flashback) Hyoma
No different from the one who
killed my brother and my sister.

Bridal Trousseau... and Kunato Hyoma.
[05:44] Tenjitsu
The Warazamawashi will
devour everything in our way.
[05:48] Tenjitsu
And we will take Nagatsuki Botan, in time.

[06:17] Botan
I'm sorry. Because of me...
[06:20] Hyoma
No need to worry.
[06:23] Hyoma
I'm just... a bit tired.
[06:27] Nagi
C'mon, man, look alive.
[06:30] Kagami
I guess he's down for the count.
[06:32] Suzuri
Understandably, though.
[06:41] Botan
Welcome back.
[06:42] Botan
I believed in you, Kushige.
[06:47] Botan
I believed in you!
[06:49] Botan
But...
[06:50] Botan
But I...
[06:56] Nagi
Time for a visit to the hospital, I guess.
[06:58] Yu
That includes you, Tsubaki.
[07:00] Tsubaki
Aw, do I gotta?
[07:04] Nagi
Of course you do!
[07:05] Suzuri
You're in pretty bad shape yourself.
[07:08] Taiju
Did you destroy the Bureau?
[07:10] Haori
The Bureau, yes.
[07:12] Haori
The paper umbrellas they were
working with, the Warazamawashi...
[07:16] Haori
I would've liked to finish them as well, but...
[07:19] Taiju
I'd reckon the immediate threat
has passed, at least.
[07:22] Taiju
You all did very well.
[07:25] Taiju
Thank you.
[07:26] Nagi
Right!
[07:28] Yu
We might need some taxis here.
[07:30] Nagi
Yeah, I'm pretty beat.
[07:34] Suzuri
Haori, did you throw out your back?
[07:36] Kagami
I'll give you a massage later!
[07:38] Haori
Oh, please do.
[07:38] Taiju
They're all so casual!
[07:40] Kagami
Leave it to me!
[07:42] Taiju
You did well, too.
[07:45] Aogi
We could really use a bonus.
[07:48] Taiju
But it's only for now.
[07:51] Taiju
The Bureau, under the supervision of
[07:54] Taiju
one of the Saenome's
Three Great Houses—the Yachimata—
[07:57] Taiju
turned against Kunato's Bridal Trousseau.
[08:01] Taiju
It can't just be written off as
lax supervision by the Yachimata.
[08:06] Taiju
Meanwhile, the instability of
Nagatsuki Botan has also been revealed.
[08:11] Taiju
Responsibility for that
lies with the Kunato.
[08:15] Taiju
The reverberations of this could lead
to war between the Three Great Houses.
[08:21] Taiju
I'm sure you realize that, Zohei.
[08:25] Zohei
I see.
[08:27] Zohei
So the Bureau of Traditional Music
was working with the paper umbrella?
[08:31] Haori
Zohei-san,
[08:32] Haori
did you know that Tenjitsu
of the Warazamawashi
[08:37] Haori
was wearing the face of Kunato Hayato?
[08:39] Zohei
Yes.
[08:40] Zohei
That's why I was trying to keep Hyoma from
learning anything about the paper umbrella.
[08:46] Zohei
But with as far as Hyoma's come,
I think he can handle it.
[08:52] Kai
You're returning home, Hojo?
[08:54] Hojo
I am.
[08:55] Hojo
It seems the Three Great Houses are
about to have a lot more work to do.
[09:00] Hojo
It smells of the sort of trouble
you're so fond of, Kai.
[09:07] Kai
I can't wait to see it.
[09:11] Taiju
And the umbrellas have made their move.
[09:14] Taiju
Nagatsuki Botan will be at
the center of a maelstrom.
[09:18] Taiju
And yet...
[09:21] Taiju
You'll walk straight into it, won't you?
[09:40] Hyoma
Where am I?
[09:43] Botan
You're awake?
[09:46] Botan
I'm so glad.
[09:47] Botan
Hyoma-san, you've been
asleep for two whole days.
[09:52] Hyoma
Have I?
[09:53] Botan
You're getting up already?
[09:55] Hyoma
I believe I've had enough rest.
[09:57] Hyoma
Where are my clothes?
[09:59] Botan
Don't worry.
[10:00] Botan
I can bring you that much, at least.
[10:04] Hyoma
Botan, your hair is stuck to your cheek.
[10:07] Botan
Oh... Well...
[10:10] Botan
I actually dozed off myself.
[10:13] Botan
I'm so embarrassed.
[10:15] Hyoma
It's fine. Thank you.
[10:18] Botan
No, thank you!
[10:24] Taiju
Well, isn't that nice?
[10:28] Hyoma
R-Representative Kadomori! Tsubaki!
[10:30] Taiju
What's with him?
[10:32] Taiju
What does he think we saw?
[10:34] Tsubaki
No idea.
[10:36] Hyoma
Representative!
[10:37] Hyoma
W-Were you hurt?
[10:39] Tsubaki
Back pain.
[10:39] Taiju
It's back pain.
[10:41] Tsubaki
Papa's not a young man, after all!
[10:43] Taiju
And I've been off the front
lines for a while now!
[10:46] Taiju
Tsubaki filled me in about the Bureau.
[10:50] Taiju
It seems like a typical motive for them.
[10:54] Taiju
But what I'm more concerned about
[10:56] Taiju
is the paper umbrella joining the fight.
[11:01] Taiju
More precisely, the paper umbrella group.
[11:04] Taiju
Warazamawashi, was it?
[11:06] Taiju
Our office is investigating incidents
they might've been involved in.
[11:11] Taiju
But what concerns me most is the fact that
one of them seems to be your brother.
[11:20] Taiju
I see.
[11:21] Tsubaki
That's wrong.
[11:23] Tsubaki
He looks like him,
but he's not Hayato-san at all inside.
[11:29] Taiju
How do you know?
[11:32] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
He's mine to hunt.
[11:35] (Flashback) Tenjitsu
Kindly don't interfere.
[11:37] Tsubaki
Hayato-san would never use
the "boku" pronoun for himself.
[11:42] Taiju
"Boku"?
[11:45] Taiju
Now that you mention it...
[11:47] (Flashback) Taiju
Thanks for coming.
[11:49] (Flashback) Taiju
Would you be Kusui-san and Hayato-kun, then?
[11:51] (Flashback) Hayato
Eh? How'd you know before
we introduced ourselves?
[11:56] (Flashback) Hayato
I see. Yes.
[11:58] (Flashback) Hayato
My face is already that well-known...
[12:02] (Flashback) Hayato
I truly am great.
[12:04] Taiju
Oh, I remember now.
[12:06] Tsubaki
Yeah, it was always the haughty
"ore-sama" or "ore."
[12:09] Taiju
He was quite confident.
[12:13] Taiju
After all, he was a recognized genius,
[12:17] Taiju
whom they say surpassed Zohei
at the mere age of sixteen.
[12:20] (Flashback) Taiju
Didn't your grandfather say
he was sending a photo?
[12:24] (Flashback) Hayato
Oh, right!
[12:26] Taiju
And yet he was a real dum-dum.
[12:29] Tsubaki
If you'd faced him, you would've known
right away that it wasn't him.
[12:34] Hyoma
I see.
[12:36] Hyoma
He didn't just devour my brother and sister.
[12:39] Hyoma
He even wore my brother's skin...
[12:43] Hyoma
Next time we fight,
[12:46] Hyoma
I will...
[12:48] Taiju
All right, I get it.
[12:51] Taiju
I'm relieved to hear that it
hasn't depleted your morale.
[12:55] Taiju
As long as you're on the Kyoto Saenome roll,
[12:59] Taiju
I'm hoping to get plenty of
use out of you, after all.
[13:02] Taiju
Anyway, let's work hard together
on our umbrella hunt.
[13:06] Hyoma
Together?
[13:07] Taiju
Well, of course together.
[13:10] Taiju
As long as they're after
Nagatsuki-san, who's in Kyoto,
[13:13] Taiju
we, the defenders of Kyoto,
will be their enemy.
[13:17] Taiju
So we'll inevitably be fighting side by side.
[13:21] Taiju
Am I wrong?
[13:23] Hyoma
That's true, but...
[13:25] Taiju
Good!
[13:26] Taiju
Then it's all decided!
[13:28] Taiju
Now, Hyoma-kun,
[13:29] Taiju
come join us tonight for
a Kyoto Saenome tradition!
[13:34] Taiju
You're not getting out of this either, Tsubaki!
[13:37] Hyoma
What's this all about?
[13:39] Taiju
There's something we always do after a big job!
[13:43] Taiju
A celebratory bash!
[13:51] Botan
I did remember Haori and the others creating
a sash that read "You're the star," but...
[13:56] Tsubaki
That was for the party, for sure.
SIGN You're the Star
[13:59] Tsubaki
To tease Hyoma-chan with.
[14:01] Hyoma
Wh-What?
[14:04] Hyoma
I-I could ne'er accept praise
after a mere two days' slumber!
[14:08] Botan
He's freaking out.
[14:09] Tsubaki
Like I said, they're teasing you.
[14:11] Tsubaki
Exaggerating things to make the party more fun.
[14:16] Taiju
It's fine enough.
[14:17] Taiju
You did a fine job protecting
Nagatsuki-san this time.
[14:21] Taiju
Even if it's exaggerated,
it's all right to accept the praise.
[14:31] Suzuri
Hey, hey!
[14:33] Suzuri
Here comes our star of the day...
[14:38] Suzuri
Kushige-san!
SIGN You're the Star
[14:46] Hyoma
So that's what it was!
[14:47] Suzuri
Oh, and Hyoma-kun's out of the hospital, too!
[14:58] Suzuri
Oh? What's this?
[15:00] Suzuri
Hyoma-kun, were you hoping you'd be the star?
[15:04] Hyoma
Don't speak of it.
[15:05] Kagami
Hyoma-san's face is all red!
[15:08] Hyoma
Don't look at me!
[15:13] Hyoma
Was Kushige's quick restoration instigated
by his concern for his mistress, then?
[15:20] Suzuri
I do think that was the number one reason.
[15:23] Suzuri
He'll keep up his barrier over Botan,
[15:25] Suzuri
but with the mansion gone, the spirit energy
he was spending there has returned to him.
[15:31] Suzuri
So Kushige will be able
to fight from now on, too.
[15:35] Suzuri
We can't ignore the paper umbrellas
now that they've said they're after Botan.
[15:42] Saenome 2
Don't worry! No matter
what those Wara-things do...
[15:46] Saenome 1
...we'll keep Bon-chan safe!
[15:49] Saenome 1
Right, everyone?
[15:51] All
Yeah!
[15:53] Botan
You guys...
[15:54] Suzuri
That's our line!
[15:56] Kagami
You old men can sit this one out!
[15:59] Saenome 1
Hey, shut up!
[16:03] Hyoma
All this time, I thought...
[16:05] Hyoma
that the fight against the
paper umbrella was my fight.
[16:10] Hyoma
That to achieve my revenge against him myself
[16:13] Hyoma
was the only form it could take.
[16:17] Hyoma
But there's more to it than that.
[16:20] Hyoma
There's more to it than that now.
[16:23] Hyoma
In terms of how I face the paper umbrella...
[16:31] Hyoma
And the reason I must defeat it.
[16:37] Suzuri
You look like you've made a decision.
[16:40] Hyoma
Yes.
[16:42] Hyoma
It's a bit like, I can't afford
to lose, and perhaps...
[16:46] Kushige
Boy.
[16:47] Kushige
For doing everything in your power
to protect my mistress in my absence,
[16:53] Kushige
I offer you my most profound gratitude.
[16:57] Hyoma
Kushige talked!
[16:59] Shota
Hell yeah!
[17:01] Umekichi
It's gonna be a great year!
[17:04] Tsubaki
Among the Kyoto Saenome,
there's a rumor that hearing Kushige's voice
[17:07] Tsubaki
means good fortune for the new year!
[17:30] Kagami
What Tsumabiki saw back then...
[17:40] Kagami
That was Botan before she met us.
[17:46] Kagami
I can't tell them.
[17:48] Kagami
I can't tell anyone about that.
[17:56] Kei
Okay, Bon-chan!
[17:58] Kei
Tell us all about what's been going on
since you took off from college!
[18:03] Botan
S-Seriously, our house collapsed from old age,
[18:08] Botan
and I had to stick around for the repairs.
[18:14] Natsuki
She's lying.
[18:15] Kei
Yes, clearly lying.
[18:20] Kei
Oh-ho!
[18:21] Kei
Did you go on a trip with Kunato-san?
[18:24] Natsuki
O-One of those pre-marriage trips?!
[18:28] Botan
I didn't go on a trip!
[18:31] Botan
And... I'm not getting married.
[18:34] (Flashback) Hyoma
I'll always keep you safe.
[18:43] Natsuki
I can feel the money for the wedding
gift leaving my wallet already...
[18:48] Kei
It's okay, Natsuki!
[18:49] Botan
Hyoma-san and I don't have
that kind of relationship!
[19:01] Natsuki
Huh?
[19:02] Natsuki
You didn't bring an umbrella, Bon?
[19:04] Kei
The forecast said it'd start
raining in the afternoon.
[19:08] Botan
I could buy a plastic one
at the convenience store...
[19:12] Botan
But I'd rather avoid spending if I don't have to.
[19:16] Hyoma
Botan.
[19:18] Botan
Hyoma-san!
[19:21] Botan
What are you doing here?
[19:23] Hyoma
Kagami told me you'd forgotten your umbrella
[19:26] Hyoma
and asked me to drop it off.
[19:28] Botan
Thanks—
[19:31] Kei
Gosh, what a nice boyfriend!
[19:33] Natsuki
Kunato-san, we leave Bon in your care.
[19:36] Hyoma
R-Right.
[19:44] Botan
Hyoma-san, don't you need an umbrella?
[19:47] Hyoma
No, I'm fine.
[19:57] Botan
If you get too wet, you'll catch a cold.
[20:00] Hyoma
Thank you.
[20:03] Botan
Isn't sharing an umbrella
something couples do?!
[20:23] Hyoma
A traditional wedding ceremony?
[20:25] Botan
Yeah. Isn't the white kimono pretty?
[20:28] Hyoma
It is.
[20:30] Hyoma
I think you'd look good in one.
[20:35] Hyoma
I-I meant nothing by it!
[20:37] Hyoma
I meant only that the style would suit you...
[20:42] Suzuri
They're as clueless as ever.
[20:45] Kagami
Why are you so bad at this, Hyoma-san?!
[20:47] Kagami
Don't try to back down from that!
[20:49] Yu
Botan should just dump him already.
[20:55] Nagi
Looks to me like we're just waiting
to see which one takes the first step.
[21:00] Haori
Indeed.
[21:01] Haori
The bond we tsukumogami have forged and tied...
[21:13] Haori
Let's see this good match
meet its appropriate end.
[21:20] Hyoma
The rain seems to have let up.
[21:22] Botan
Yeah.
[21:26] Botan
If you think I'd look good in one of those...
[21:32] Botan
Why don't we get a closer look?
[21:39] Hyoma
Right.
