[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.
