**[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...*
**[00:59] Hyoma**
*Nagatsuki Botan.*
***SIGN*** Malevolent Spirits
***SIGN*** Shoreline
**[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,
***SIGN*** Kunato
**[03:34] Hyoma**
the guardian god of the border between
the lands of the living and the dead.
***SIGN*** Kunato
***SIGN*** Kunato
**[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.

**[09:07] Towel Tsukumogami**
How easy.
**[09:09] Towel Tsukumogami**
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?

A hand towel, huh?
**[10:18] Nagi**
It's seen better days.
**[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.*
**[10:51] Hyoma**
A paper umbrella tsukumogami.
**[10:54] Hyoma**
My brother and sister were killed
by a paper umbrella tsukumogami
**[10:58] Hyoma**
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—
**[12:17] Hyoma**
No. I'm imposing enough already.
**[12:22] Botan**
*So uptight...*

Yes. We thought we should

He proposed this format himself, last night.
**[12:34] Yu**
If he can earn the approval
of all of us before the deadline,
**[12:39] Yu**
he'll be allowed to stay.
**[12:42] Yu**
Botan?
**[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...
**[13:12] Botan**
Kagami should be fine,
**[13:14] Botan**
but he and Suzuri might be a bad match...
**[13:18] Suzuri**
I know *all* about the station area!
**[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.
**[15:33] Suzuri**
Try not to scare them
with that death glare of yours.
**[15:39] Suzuri**
This request won't involve fighting.
**[15:42] Suzuri**
It's the final "special exception" evaluation
**[15:45] Suzuri**
for a tsukumogami hoping to live
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.
**[17:33] Suzuri**
It's a just-in-case thing.

**[18:00] Suzuri**
That's the Shoyokyo—a mirror
that reveals truth.
**[18:05] Suzuri**
Right now, she's viewing everything
there is to know about her.
**[18:32] Kagami**
It all checks out.
**[18:34] Kagami**
She passes the evaluation!
**[18:35] Suzuri**
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!

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.

***SIGN*** I think Hyoma-san and I could
get along after all!
I bet Suzuri feels the same way!
