[00:08] Botan
    So cold!
[00:13] Botan
    Sorry, Kagami,
[00:15] Botan
    for forcing you to do the shoveling and all.
[00:18] Kagami
    Hey, no problem!
[00:20] Kagami
    Good luck with your studies today, Botan!
[00:23] Botan
    Thanks!
[00:26] Hyoma
    Wow, it really snowed a lot.
[00:29] Botan
    Hyoma-san...
[00:32] Botan
    Don't you need to cover up a little more?
[00:37] Hyoma
    The worse the weather conditions,
[00:39] Hyoma
    the better it is for psychological training.
[00:42] Botan
    No, no, no...
[00:43] Botan
    You're definitely gonna catch cold like that!

[01:03] Botan
    He's like a mischievous little boy.
[01:06] Kagami
    Except he's all grown up.
[01:10] Botan
    Well, I'm off.
[01:13] Kagami
    Have a nice day!
[01:18] Kagami
    Okay, then...
[01:20] Kagami
    Let's get back to it!
[01:23] Aogi
    Heya.
[01:30] Suzuri
    Hey! It's been a while, hasn't it?
[01:33] Suzuri
    I've got some questions for you, too,
[01:36] Suzuri
    so I'm really happy you came...
[01:39] Suzuri
    Aogi.
SIGN    Malevolent Spirits
SIGN    Quickening
[03:24] Kagami
    Here.
[03:25] Kagami
    Enjoy your tea!
[03:31] Aogi
    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.
[11:32] Taiju
    We use the power of our talismans
    to hold down the target,
[11:36] Taiju
    and while they're frozen,
    drive sealing power into their dan tian.
SIGN    Kadomori
SIGN    Kadomori
[11:57] Umekichi
    Seal.
[12:09] Hyoma
    I see.
[12:10] Hyoma
    Kyoto is a battleground where
    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!
[16:22] Taiju
    H-He said it three times?

[16:36] Taiju
    Seems like he means it.
[16:39] Taiju
    And that means... what a fool I am.
[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!
[17:16] Taiju
    Just as I'd expect of Zohei's grandson...
[17:19] Taiju
    A total fool.
[17:23] Shota
    Go on, damn it!
[17:24] Umekichi
    Oh, shut up!
[17:35] Hyoma
    I have no intention of changing my mind.
[17:39] Hyoma
    If you attempt to control me
    by force, I will fight back.
[17:45] Shota
    How'd he endure that?!
[17:47] Taiju
    Guess he's more than a little rich boy.
[17:51] Hyoma
    Saenome of Kyoto...
[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
