[04:14] Tsubaki     I ordered new clothes, too! [04:16] Tsubaki     I heard you'd be coming, so I hung around! [04:19] Tsubaki     Plus you didn't text or call!

[04:39] Hyoma     Kadomori Tsubaki. We're colleagues. [04:42] Botan     Oh, thank you for your service. [04:44] Botan     I'm Naga— [04:45] Tsubaki     I know who you are. [04:46] Tsubaki     Botan-chan. [04:48] Tsubaki     I know all about the Nagatsukis from work. [04:53] Tsubaki     Hey, Botan-chan. Are you... [04:59] Tsubaki     Hyoma-chan's girlfriend?! [05:02] Hyoma     Why are all of you like this?! [05:03] Tsubaki     That reaction just seals the deal! [05:06] Hyoma     No— [05:06] Botan     It's really not like that, Kadomori-san! [05:08] Tsubaki     Hey, call me Tsubaki. [05:10] Tsubaki     Nice to meet you, Botan-chan. [05:18] Tsubaki     Anyway, it's on the second floor. [05:20] Tsubaki     This way. [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... [05:46] Tsubaki     Though I don't know how it'll be for you.

[06:08] Hata     The cloth we make here     has some special properties. [06:11] Hata     It's got a life of its own, you could say. [06:14] Hata     A spinning wheel tsukumogami     spins the thread, SIGN    — Hata — [06:16] Hata     and I, a hand loom tsukumogami,     weave it together. [06:20] Hata     Our nature kind of rubs off on it, I guess... [06:23] Hata     Hey! [06:24] Hata     Are you Nagatsuki Botan, dearie? [06:27] Botan     Oh... hello. [06:28] Hata     Well, no wonder it took such a shine to you! [06:31] Hata     Never thought I'd see you     in the flesh like this! [06:34] Tsubaki     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. SIGN    Tebata Fabrics [11:15] Hyoma     I'm sorry for the wait. [11:17] Botan     No problem. [11:18] Botan     Hey... You don't look any different. [11:21] Hyoma     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     Actually, I tried to make a move on him earlier... [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. [14:04] Taiju     Times like this, the strangest things     start coming out of the woodwork. [14:10] Botan     Hyoma-san! [14:12] Botan     Could you lower the right side just a bit? [14:14] Shiho     Oh, just missed it! [14:15] Natsuki     Now the left side's a little... SIGN    Hyakunin Isshu Society SIGN    Hyakunin Isshu Society [14:22] Natsuki     Podium, check!

[14:30] Botan     Thanks for everything, Hyoma-san. [14:32] Hyoma     It's nothing. [14:33] Hyoma     The Hyakunin Isshu Society, is it? [14:36] Hyoma     So you joined a club, as well? [14:39] Botan     Actually, [14:40] Botan     I did it all the time on New Year's     at home, so I got pretty good at it. [14:44] Hyoma     Don't you have classes? [14:46] Botan     This is recruitment week. [14:47] Kana     ...and those are your     recruiting stations. Let's do this! [14:48] Botan     Classes pretty much don't start until Monday. [14:51] Botan     Today's the day for nabbing new recruits! [14:53] Kana     Here, Bon-chan, your share of the flyers. [14:55] Botan     Oh, right! [14:58] Kana     Kunato-san, thank you so much for your help. [15:00] Kana     To be honest, when I first saw you, [15:03] Kana     I assumed you were a bit of a hooligan. [15:05] Botan     S-Senpai?! [15:07] Shiho     Yeah, at first I thought Nagatsuki-senpai     had some underworld connections! [15:11] Botan     Why?! [15:12] Natsuki     Well, that glare... [15:14] Natsuki     I feel like I should be begging for my life. [15:15] Shiho     But then it turned out     he's such a hard worker... [15:18] Shiho     Secretly sensitive! So dreamy! [15:21] Natsuki     We've got some time to kill, [15:22] Natsuki     so why not take a campus tour... [15:24] Natsuki     with your boyfriend. [15:26] Botan     I told you, we're related! [15:28] Hyoma     She told them we're related? [15:31] Hyoma     Speaking of which... [15:33] Hyoma     What's their cover story? [15:36] Natsuki     Haori-san and the others     are also your relatives, right? [15:40] Hyoma     You've met the— [15:41] Botan     Welp, here goes the tour! [15:45] Botan     They came to my culture     festival in my first year. [15:49] Botan     My clubmates and classmates     know all about them. [15:51] Hyoma     Is that really safe? [15:53] Botan     Seems like it. [15:55] Botan     They just think we're a weird family, I guess. [15:58] Hyoma     I wonder about that. [16:00] Botan     Oh, I forgot. [16:01] Botan     I've got a shift showing stuff to     potential recruits this afternoon. [16:04] Kao     There you are! [16:06] Botan     Kao-chan! [16:07] Kao     Botan! [16:09] Kao     Could you help write a sign for us? [16:11] Kao     Please, please! [16:12] Botan     No worries, Hyoma-san!     You can head back without me! [16:17] Hyoma     R-Right. [16:19] Hyoma     Botan's life at school is     livelier than I expected. [16:25] Hyoma     But her tsukumogami, who came to her     culture festival and generally enjoy revelry, [16:29] Hyoma     didn't come with her today... curious. [16:32] Suzuri     First time in Kyoto, huh? [16:34] Suzuri     I bet you wanna see everything, right? [16:36] Suzuri     Just leave it to me! [16:37] Suzuri     I've got my first-level     Kyoto Tourism Certification. [16:40] Suzuri     And I'm well-versed in everything     from sweets to fast casual! [16:44] Suzuri     So if you have any questions,     just shoot me a line. [16:48] Nagi     Hey, Suzuri! [16:50] Nagi     Maybe you oughta focus a little. [16:52] Suzuri     What's the big deal? [16:54] Suzuri     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... [17:13] Suzuri     Why are you picking up disciples?! [17:15] Suzuri     You seem to be enjoying it, too. [17:18] Suzuri     We don't want to stand out too much. [17:20] Suzuri     Think it's time to head back? [17:21] Nagi     Good idea. [17:27] Nagi     Hang on a minute... [17:29] Suzuri     Nagi? [17:30] Nagi     The hell's she doing here? [17:36] Suzuri     Wait! [17:38] Nagi     If that kid's here, that means... [17:48] Itsuki     You are called to battle... [17:51] Itsuki     Kai-sama. [17:58] Hyoma     An ambush? Here?! [18:02] Kai     Would that be you? [18:05] Kai     The new house guest at     the Nagatsuki household... [18:07] Kai     Kunato Hyoma? [18:10] Kai     You look more frail than I expected. [18:23] Hyoma     The people disappeared... [18:24] Hyoma     No, I'm in a barrier? [18:28] Kai     Now no one will interrupt. [18:31] Kai     Now... [18:32] Kai     Show me this reckless courage     about which I've heard so much. [18:38] Hyoma     Who exactly are you? [18:41] Hyoma     No... it doesn't matter who you are,     or what your reasons are. [18:44] Hyoma     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. SIGN    Next Time SIGN    Efflorescence
