[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?
[00:54] Hyoma
    This girl, leader of a group
    of six tsukumogami...

[02:37] Hyoma
    She doesn't look like she has enough grit
    to command a group of six tsukumogami.
[02:44] Hyoma
    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 lands of the living and the dead.

[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!
[05:07] Hyoma
    How can we work together?
[05:09] Botan
    Ask the others!
[05:18] Haori
    Your room's at the end
    of the second floor hall.
[05:23] Yu
    No comment.
[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.
[08:54] Nagi
    So it's settled.

    Were these also considered "weak"?
[09:12] Towel Tsukumogami
    No... other humans are afraid of them.
[09:16] Towel Tsukumogami
    They must be considered "strong."
[09:18] Towel Tsukumogami
    Which means...
[09:20] Towel Tsukumogami
    I am far superior to them!
[09:24] Nagi
    Ah, he's already at it.
[09:27] Nagi
    That awkward human form,
    that barely detectable presence...
[09:32] Nagi
    Looks like a newborn tsukumogami to me.
[09:35] Nagi
    Poor widdle guy!
[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.
[09:55] Suzuri
    I think Nagi picked up on that, just barely.
[09:58] Kagami
    You think we can all get along
    with Hyoma-san, then?

[10:19] Nagi
    That being his vessel explains a few things.
[10:22] Nagi
    But nobody died, so let's count it as a win.
[10:27] Nagi
    Don't worry. I'll put in
    a good word with Botan.
[10:30] Nagi
    Huh?
[10:32] Nagi
    You got hives from it?
[10:34] Nagi
    I get it. You hate it that much?
[10:36] Hyoma
    Well...
[10:39] Hyoma
    From working with tsukumogami...
    and helping them.

    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
    of the Saenome Kunato Clan.
[11:16] Hyoma
    If I do, I might be able to get a lead on him.
[11:19] Hyoma
    That's why, despite everything,
    I was willing to accept these conditions.
[11:23] Hyoma
    I'll try my best to get along,
    if that's what's required.
[11:26] Hyoma
    And...
[11:29] Hyoma
    I regret making Nagatsuki-san cry.
[11:31] Nagi
    You were really bothered by that, huh?
[11:34] Kagami
    You think you could ever
    get along with Hyoma-san?
[11:36] Suzuri
    Probably not.
[11:38] Yu
    Definitely not.
[11:43] Suzuri
    It's a job.
[11:55] Botan
    Excuse me! Breakfast is ready!
[11:59] Hyoma
    Regrettably, I haven't reached
    my training goals for the day.
[12:02] Hyoma
    You're more than welcome to eat without me.
[12:06] Botan
    But...
[12:08] Hyoma
    I'll gratefully partake later.
[12:11] Botan
    He's uptight.
[12:15] Botan
    Um... would you like a refill—

    No. I'm imposing enough already.

[12:44] Botan
    Hyoma-san's so uptight!
[12:47] Botan
    I hope it'll work out.
[12:49] Yu
    He appears to offer
    100% in all his endeavors.
[12:52] Botan
    Yeah, I guess...
[12:54] Botan
    Apparently he's heading out on a job
    with Suzuri and Kagami today, and...
[12:58] (Flashback) Hyoma
    I will see this through!
[13:00] Botan
    He could probably afford to relax a little.
[13:03] Yu
    Maybe that's just his natural state.
[13:05] Botan
    Maybe...
[13:07] Yu
    Are you worried about something?!
[13:09] Botan
    About what?
[13:11] Botan
    Although...

    but he and Suzuri might be a bad match...

[13:21] Suzuri
    I'd be happy to show you my favorite shops!
[13:25] Girl 1
    Shady shops, huh?
[13:27] Suzuri
    Of course not!
[13:28] Suzuri
    I'd never be courageous enough
    to enter one of those!
[13:32] Suzuri
    Anyway, you've got my email address!
[13:34] Suzuri
    Probably struck out there.
[13:37] Hyoma
    Excuse me.
[13:40] Hyoma
    I just spotted a tsukumogami
    toying with humans.
[13:44] Suzuri
    Scary face!
[13:45] Suzuri
    D-Don't make it sound sordid!
[13:47] Suzuri
    I just want to make friends
    and talk about stuff!
[13:51] Suzuri
    I don't want anything more than a nice lunch!
[13:53] Suzuri
    I'm not doing anything shady, man! I mean it!
[13:55] Hyoma
    Why do you only approach women, then?
[13:58] Suzuri
    Personal preference.
[14:00] Suzuri
    Why don't you join me?
[14:02] Suzuri
    We could make it a double date!
[14:04] Hyoma
    We're supposed to be on a job, you dolt!
[14:06] Suzuri
    We've got time to kill first!
[14:09] Hyoma
    So where did the one called Kagami go?
[14:11] Suzuri
    She's...
[14:14] Kagami
    I'm under threat!
[14:17] Hyoma
    Every single one of you...
[14:19] Suzuri
    Chill out!
[14:20] Suzuri
    There's nothing wrong with
    getting some food on the road.
[14:23] Hyoma
    I don't understand!
[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...
    eating, picking out nice outfits...
[14:45] Kagami
    Enjoying things the way that Botan...
    the way that people do.
[14:50] Kagami
    Is that really... a waste?
[14:56] Suzuri
    We care about things, you know.
[15:00] Suzuri
    I wish you'd try to see that
    without making negative assumptions.
[15:11] Hyoma
    Understood.
[15:13] Hyoma
    I find the picking up of women
    personally inscrutable,
[15:16] Hyoma
    but the rest I comprehend.
[15:19] Hyoma
    And supplementing your nutrition
    before a job is fully acceptable.
[15:22] Suzuri
    Huh?
[15:24] Hyoma
    I'll try my best.
[15:27] Suzuri
    All right, Hyoma-kun.
[15:29] Suzuri
    We're about to meet a tsukumogami.

    Try not to scare them
    with that death glare of yours.

    This request won't involve fighting.

    alongside humans in this world.
SIGN    — Yagen —
[15:51] Suzuri
    Hey there.
[15:52] Suzuri
    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.
[16:52] Yagen
    And yet...
[16:54] Suzuri
    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.
[17:06] Suzuri
    That feeling of comfort transferred into you.
[17:10] Suzuri
    I see.
[17:12] Suzuri
    That's a perfectly suitable reason to remain.
[17:17] Suzuri
    I completely understand how you feel.
[17:19] Suzuri
    Don't worry.
[17:22] Suzuri
    Kagami.
[17:23] Kagami
    Sure.
[17:25] Suzuri
    This is the tsukumogami, Kagami.
[17:27] Suzuri
    She's going to run the most
    crucial part of the process,
[17:30] Suzuri
    checking for a history of using
    your transformation powers for evil.

    It's a just-in-case thing.

    It all checks out.

    Great!
[18:36] Suzuri
    Awesome work, everyone.
[18:40] Suzuri
    Hyoma-kun,
[18:41] Suzuri
    I'm going to take her in to make the report.
[18:45] Suzuri
    You and Kagami can head back without me.
[18:47] Hyoma
    Right.
[18:47] Suzuri
    Call Botan, too.
[18:50] Suzuri
    Ask if she needs anything from the store.
[18:52] Hyoma
    I'm afraid I don't have the number
    for the Nagatsuki household.
[18:56] Suzuri
    Oh, really?
[18:57] Suzuri
    Sorry, Kagami. I'll need you to ask—
[19:01] Suzuri
    Is there—
[19:22] Hyoma
    That was quite unexpected.
[19:25] Yagen
    I knew it. You tricked me!
[19:28] Yagen
    You're the... the Nagatsuki...
[19:34] Hyoma
    You destroyed a Saenome Proxy
    and attacked his assistant.
[19:38] Hyoma
    Those are the facts as I see them.
[19:41] Hyoma
    You're the one who tricked us!
[19:44] Kagami
    Hyoma-san!
[19:45] Yagen
    I just want to stay here!

[20:09] Yagen
    I... I've heard all about them.
[20:13] Yagen
    They hunt their own kind.
[20:16] Yagen
    That's why... I...
[20:22] Suzuri
    I see our infamy precedes us.
[20:27] Suzuri
    That's why the mention of the
    Nagatsuki name sent you into a panic.
[20:32] Suzuri
    No need to worry.
[20:33] Suzuri
    We really did just come here to evaluate you.
[20:37] Suzuri
    My special property kept you from killing me,
[20:40] Suzuri
    and Hyoma-kun kept you
    from doing further harm.
[20:42] Suzuri
    All's well that ends well, I'd say.
[20:48] Kagami
    Hyoma-san!
[20:50] Kagami
    She's got a pretty big shopping list for us.
[20:53] Hyoma
    Right.
[20:56] Hyoma
    Kagami...
[20:58] Hyoma
    What will happen to that tsukumogami?
[20:59] Kagami
    She'll probably get her special exception.
[21:01] Kagami
    She's a little paranoid,
    but they can work on that.
[21:06] Kagami
    I personally hope she gets to stay, too.
[21:09] Kagami
    She loves the land of the living
    the same way I do.
[21:14] Kagami
    Thank you.
[21:16] Kagami
    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.
[21:29] Hyoma
    That's the only reason.
[21:38] Kagami
    Keep it up, Hyoma-san!
[21:41] Nagi
    Kagami's not heavy enough.
[21:43] Nagi
    Let me in on that action.
[21:45] Hyoma
    Bring it on!
[21:46] Suzuri
    He's all right with being in contact
    with us if it helps with his training.
[21:48] Nagi
    Yes!
[21:49] Botan
    Hyoma-san!
[21:51] Botan
    The bath's warmed up. You should take one now.
[21:53] Hyoma
    Regrettably, I haven't reached
    my training goals for the day.
[21:59] Hyoma
    I'll gratefully partake later.
[22:02] Botan
    He really is uptight.
