SIGN    Meiji Tokyo Renka
[01:35] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    You still insist on this, Saotome?
[01:45] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Don't tell me you've been
    possessed by a ghost!

[02:49] Ougai
    One, two, three. One, two, three.
[02:52] Mei
    One, two, three... One, two, three.
[02:56] Ougai
    That's it, you're doing well.
[02:58] Ougai
    Just what I'd expect from
    my Little Squirrel.
[02:59] Mei
    Y-You think so?
[03:02] Ougai
    I am looking forward to the day when I can
[03:04] Ougai
    show off my beautiful fiancée
    in a dress to the world.
[03:07] Mei
    A-A dress?!
[03:10] Ougai
    Whoops.
[03:12] Ougai
    Are you all right?
[03:14] Mei
    Y-Yes.
[03:18] Syunso
    I'm going to go look for the black cat.
[03:22] Ougai
    But it's still bright outside.
[03:24] Syunso
    It's better than staying
    here and doing nothing.
[03:27] Syunso
    I just want to find some place
    where cats like to gather.
[03:31] Mei
    I'll go with him, too.
[03:36] Mei
    Syunso-san! Please wait for me!
SIGN    Masagocho Cat Café Incident
[03:54] Mei
    Please wait, Syunso-san!
[03:57] Syunso
    Why did you come?
[03:58] Mei
    Huh?
[03:59] Syunso
    Wouldn't you rather be practicing
    your dancing with Ougai-san?
[04:04] Mei
    But searching for the black
    cat is more important.
[04:07] Syunso
    Ougai-san has ordered an
    expensive dress for you,
[04:12] Syunso
    yet you intend to make a fool of him?
[04:15] Mei
    T-That's not my intention...
[04:19] Mei
    Are you mad about something, Syunso-san?
[04:25] Syunso
    Not particularly.
[04:28] Yakumo
    Oh my fairy!
[04:30] Yakumo
    To be running into you like this,
[04:32] Yakumo
    you and I are truly tied together
    by the red wire of fate!
[04:38] Mei
    G-Good day, Yakumo-san.
[04:41] Syunso
    Hello.
[04:42] Yakumo
    Are you both going somewhere today?
[04:44] Mei
    Y-Yes. We thought we would look for somewhere
[04:47] Mei
    cats gather, to try to find the black cat.
[04:50] Yakumo
    Is that so?
[04:51] Yakumo
    Well then, the café I am heading
    to now happens to be one such place.
[04:56] Yakumo
    Would you like to accompany me?
[04:57] Mei
    May we? Syunso-san!
[05:00] Syunso
    Sure, I don't see why not.
[05:02] Yakumo
    Okay! We must strike while the iron is hot!
[05:04] Yakumo
    Now then, let's go.
[05:07] Mei
    I had no idea there was a café in this area.
[05:12] Yakumo
    You could say it's a secret retreat.
[05:14] Yakumo
    It's my special spot.
[05:17] Mei
    Are you sure it's all right
    for us to go there, too?
[05:20] Yakumo
    It will be no problem at all.
[05:23] Yakumo
    I am very much in your debt, after all.
[05:26] Yakumo
    I will treat you to some delicious tea.
[05:28] Kyoka
    I'm just worried.
[05:31] Mei
    That voice belongs to...
[05:33] Ozaki
    Worried? Listen to me...
[05:35] Ozaki
    I was wondering why you were
    gone for hours on end.
[05:38] Ozaki
    To find you pacing around the mailbox
    like a puppy
[05:40] Ozaki
    is kind of pathetic, don't you think?
[05:42] Kyoka
    But what if the envelope with
    your manuscript in it were to be torn?
[05:46] Ozaki
    It's not going to be.
[05:48] Ozaki
    Your tendency to worry is
    a real pain sometimes.
[05:51] Mei
    Good day, Kyoka-san.
[05:53] Kyoka
    I-It's you.
[05:57] Ozaki
    Who is this girl?
[06:01] Ozaki
    One of my readers?
[06:02] Kyoka
    S-Sensei, she is—
[06:04] Mei
    Sensei?
[06:06] Ozaki
    Come on, now, you can't possibly be saying
    that you aren't familiar with the name
[06:10] Ozaki
    Ozaki Koyo, the most famous
    popular writer in Asia?
[06:13] Mei
    Ozaki Koyo-san is...
[06:17] Mei
    Oh! You wrote The Golden Demon!
[06:19] Mei
    I saw the play of it recently!
[06:22] Ozaki
    Really? Then do tell me your thoughts on it.
[06:24] Ozaki
    You can come to my place now.
[06:27] Ozaki
    What is your name?
[06:28] Mei
    A-Ayazuki Mei.
[06:31] Kyoka
    Why don't you look more bothered by this?
[06:34] Yakumo
    Ozaki-san, unfortunately she already
    has a prior engagement with me.
[06:39] Syunso
    She was with me first, you know.
[06:41] Ozaki
    My, you're very popular, Mei. In that case...
[06:45] Ozaki
    You're welcome to come by at night.
[06:48] Ozaki
    I will polish up my body just for you.
[06:51] Kyoka
    Sensei! What about your next deadline?!
[06:53] Ozaki
    Don't mention my deadlines!
[07:00] Kyoka
    Help me!
[07:02] Mei
    Kyoka-san, it's only chasing after
    you because you're running away.
[07:06] Yakumo
    Oh, Mei-san!
[07:13] Ozaki
    See you later, Mei!
[07:14] Ozaki
    Make sure to put my
     manuscript in the mail, Izumi.
[07:18] Mei
    Kyoka-san, stop running!
[07:21] Kyoka
    Like hell I'm going to stop!
[07:22] Otojiro
    And a nincompoopie poop...
[07:26] Otojiro
    Hey there, Kyoka-chan.
[07:29] Otojiro
    Ow!
[07:31] Kyoka
    Don't get your germs all over me!
[07:33] Kyoka
    And don't call me "Kyoka-chan"!
[07:35] Otojiro
    Is that really what you're supposed
    to say after crashing into someone?
[07:38] Kyoka
    But the dog, the dog!
[07:41] Otojiro
    You mean that dog?
[07:43] Mei
    There, there. I'm so sorry.
    I bet that hurt, didn't it?
[07:46] Mei
    But he didn't mean any harm,
    so please forgive him.
[07:51] Yakumo
    Even a savage dog is putty
    in Mei-san's hands.
[07:54] Syunso
    Savage dog...
[07:57] Otojiro
    Hey, Mei. Long time no see.
[08:01] Mei
    Otoyakko-sa—I mean, Otojiro-san!
[08:04] Mei
    Thank you for all of your help the other day.
[08:07] Otojiro
    You made quite the impression.
[08:09] Otojiro
    You're welcome to come by
    the geisha house any time.
[08:11] Mei
    Thank you very much. But I
    won't be going there anymore.
[08:15] Mei
    I would make Ougai-san worry.
[08:17] Otojiro
    I see. Well, probably for the best, then.
[08:20] Otojiro
    I was on my way to grab something to eat.
    Do you want to come with me?
[08:24] Yakumo
    Stop.
[08:25] Yakumo
    She already has a previous engagement
    with me to go to a café, Kawakami-san.
[08:30] Syunso
    Okay, but she was helping me
    find the black cat before that.
[08:33] Otojiro
    Oh? Then I'll just eat there instead.
[08:37] Otojiro
    Right, Kyoka-chan?
[08:39] Kyoka
    Wha? Why are you dragging me into this?
[08:41] Kyoka
    And don't call me Kyoka-chan!
[08:43] Otojiro
    Nevermind the details.
[08:45] Otojiro
    There must be a reason
    we all ran into each other.
[08:47] Otojiro
    Right, Mei?
[08:48] Mei
    Yes, eating together would make
    everything taste that much better.
[09:02] Fujita
    Not bad.
[09:06] Fujita
    I know. Just wait a bit longer.
[09:21] Fujita
    It was bad enough that you
    illegally trespassed on my property.
[09:24] Fujita
    What were you thinking
    peeping in as well?
[09:28] Mei
    W-We're sorry.
[09:29] Mei
    We had no idea that the café
    was going to be your house.
[09:32] Fujita
    What are you talking about?
[09:34] Yakumo
    Welcome to Café Fujita!
[09:38] Fujita
    Koizumi, you bastard.
[09:39] Kyoka
    It's all your fault for suddenly saying
    something smelled good and taking off.
[09:43] Mei
    B-But something really did smell good.
[09:47] Syunso
    You give in to your appetite way too easily.
[09:50] Otojiro
    Well, at any rate, we're here now.
    So you might as well serve some tea.
[09:55] Fujita
    Do you want me to throw you
    in jail again, Kawakami?
[10:02] Mei
    Oh, a cat! Is it yours?
[10:05] Fujita
    It is not.
[10:07] Mei
    B-But...
[10:09] Mei
    It really likes you.
[10:13] Yakumo
    See, I told you.
[10:15] Yakumo
    Café Fujita is a cat residence
    where cats like to gather.
[10:19] Yakumo
    The black cat you're looking for
    is sure to come by here.
[10:24] Mei
    That might be true, Syunso-san!
[10:27] Syunso
    If you say so, I guess.
[10:30] Fujita
    Looking for a black cat?
[10:32] Fujita
    Would that be the black cat
    that escaped from Hishida's painting?
[10:38] Mei
    That's right,
[10:40] Mei
    but please don't slay Syunso-san's cat. We can get it back in the painting.
[10:44] Fujita
    Can you honestly say that ghost
    cat won't do anything harmful?
[10:47] Mei
    I can't, but if anything like that does
    happen, I'll take responsibility and stop it.
[10:57] Otojiro
    Which reminds me... You're a Tamayori, right?
[11:00] Otojiro
    I heard about it from Kyoka-chan.
[11:02] Otojiro
    Right, Kyoka-chan?
[11:04] Otojiro
    Hey, where'd he go?
[11:08] Kyoka
    Wow, amazing!
[11:10] Kyoka
    There's not a single speck
    of dust in this house!
[11:12] Kyoka
    This is the first time I've been to a private
    household where the sanitary condition is so good!
[11:15] Fujita
    Hey...
[11:16] Otojiro
    That's high praise coming from Kyoka-chan.
[11:20] Yakumo
    He may not seem like it, but Fujita-san
[11:22] Yakumo
    is very good at cooking, washing,
    and all household chores.
[11:25] Mei
    That's incredible! You have my respect.
[11:28] Syunso
    You can't judge a book by its cover.
[11:30] Fujita
    Leave.
[11:32] Kyoka
    No way. I'm staying here for now.
[11:34] Yakumo
    Fujita-san, out of consideration
    for me, your best friend,
[11:38] Yakumo
    won't you please let us partake of
    Café Fujita's Goro Special today?
[11:41] Fujita
    Goro Special? Don't be ridiculous.
[11:43] Mie
    Café Fujita's Goro Special?
[11:47] Mie
    Sounds delicious!
[11:55] Fujita
    Do what you will.
[12:00] Fujita
    Who told you to help
     with the cooking?
[12:03] Otojiro
    Give it a rest and relax that
    severely furrowed brow.
[12:07] Otojiro
    We're doing something we're not used to as
    our way of apologizing for trespassing.
[12:13] Yakumo
    It's because Mei-san is
    extremely fond of eating.
[12:16] Yakumo
    I might actually have a chance with her
    if I make her something delicious.
[12:23] Fujita
    Koizumi, cut the pickle into
    angled bite-size pieces!
[12:26] Yakumo
    Angled? Bite-size pieces?
[12:31] Fujita
    Don't let the miso soup boil!
[12:33] Kyoka
    But the germs!
[12:34] Fujita
    There is no such thing!
[12:36] Otojiro
    Let's see, where would the alcohol be?
[12:39] Yakumo
    The alcohol is on the left
    side of that cupboard.
[12:43] Fujita
    How do you know that?!
[12:44] Otojiro
    Oh, found it.
[12:46] Otojiro
    This is the really good stuff,
    too. Let's all drink together.
[12:49] Fujita
    Why, you...!
[12:51] Mei
    This one is Grilled Ribs,
[12:54] Mei
    and this one is Skirt Steak.
[13:00] Mei
    Don't do that, Pork Loin.
[13:02] Syunso
    What have you been going on about?
[13:04] Mei
    I'm giving each of them
    a name that's easy to remember.
[13:07] Syunso
    Weren't you supposed to be
    looking for the black cat?
[13:10] Mei
    Well, I haven't been able
    to find a black one.
[13:13] Syunso
    So it's not here either, then.
[13:15] Mei
    Please cheer up.
[13:16] Mei
    There's a delicious smell coming from the
    kitchen that might lure it in eventually...
[13:23] Ougai
    Hey, you two. So this is where you've been.
[13:26] Mei
    O-Ougai-san?
[13:28] Syunso
    What are you doing here?
[13:29] Ougai
    I was heading to the Metropolitan
    Police Department on business
[13:32] Ougai
    when I heard that Inspector
    Fujita was off duty.
[13:35] Mei
    I thought you might've been lured
    in by the delicious smell.
[13:39] Syunso
    He's not like you.
[13:42] Otojiro
    What's this? Even Mori-san is here.
[13:45] Yakumo
    Welcome, welcome. Please do come in.
[13:47] Fujita
    Don't go inviting more guests.
[13:49] Ougai
    You're all here. Is there a party today?
[13:55] Ougai
    It looks truly enjoyable.
[13:57] Ougai
    I will certainly take you up
    on the offer to join you.
[14:04] Mei
    This simmered beef with ginger!
[14:07] Mei
    It's well-seasoned with Japanese pepper,
[14:08] Mei
    and it's so delicious that the taste
[14:10] Mei
    just spreads across my tongue and
    almost brings tears to my eyes!
[14:15] Fujita
    Of course it does. I simmered
    it for a whole day.
[14:19] Mei
    What a surprise. I never expected you
    to be such a domestic person.
[14:26] Mei
    The miso soup.
[14:30] Mei
    Yes! The soup stock is also
    flavorful and very good.
[14:34] Mei
    Kyoka-san?
[14:36] Kyoka
    I-I'm glad you like it so much.
[14:39] Otojiro
    Come on, Mei, drink some.
[14:41] Mei
    No, I'm not so good with alcohol.
[14:44] Ougai
    I will take that.
[14:47] Yakumo
    Mei-san, these are the pickles I cut.
[14:50] Yakumo
    Here, say ah.
[14:53] Ougai
    I will take that.
[14:56] Ougai
    Mei is my fiancée.
[14:59] Ougai
    Please refrain from getting
    closer to her than necessary.
[15:04] Yakumo
    What is he saying, Mr. Bunny?
[15:07] Otojiro
    Rather childish of you to get jealous
    over her being offered alcohol.
[15:12] Yakumo
    Mori-san, I challenge you to
    a round of Tiger, Tiger, Tiger
[15:15] Yakumo
    to see who gets the honor of
    feeding things to Mei-san.
[15:17] Ougai
    I guess I will accept, then.
[15:20] Mei
    Wha?
[15:25] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:29] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:33] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:36] Mei
    Syunso-san, shall I pour
    you some more alcohol?
[15:39] Syunso
    Sure.
[15:43] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[15:47] Fujita
    I've had enough of this.
[15:47] Yakumo & Ougai
    Tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger.
[16:02] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Curse you, ghost.
[16:05] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    You've possessed my sword, have you?
[16:08] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Now that it has come to this,
    I will make full use of your power.
[16:13] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    I will slay those who do wrong without
    mercy, be they ghosts or humans.
[16:19] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    Prepare yourself.
[16:21] (Flashback) Young Fujita
    We shall fall into the
    darkest depths together.
[16:27] Mei
    Fujita-san!
[16:29] Mei
    Fujita-san?
[16:32] Fujita
    Girl...
[16:33] Mei
    I will help you with the dishes.
[16:36] Fujita
    No need.
[16:38] Mei
    At least let me help with
    cleaning up, please.
[16:42] Mei
    It's freezing.
[16:48] Mei
    Cooking is such hard work.
[16:52] Fujita
    Did you find the black cat?
[16:54] Mei
    It wasn't here.
[16:55] Fujita
    I see.
[16:57] Mei
    That wasn't a lie.
[16:59] Fujita
    I haven't said anything.
[17:02] Mei
    Why does you saber reflect
    things that cannot be seen?
[17:09] Fujita
    It was reforged from a sword I used to have.
[17:16] Fujita
    One that was possessed by a ghost.
[17:21] Fujita
    You have some threads loose.
[17:23] Mei
    Huh?
[17:25] Mei
    The cats were clawing at it earlier.
[17:27] Fujita
    Come with me.
[17:34] Mei
    Wow, you can even sew as well.
[17:38] Mei
    I had the wrong impression
    of you, Fujita-san.
[17:41] Mei
    I thought you were a rather scary person,
    but you're really more like, well...
[17:47] Fujita
    What?
[17:49] Mei
    A mother.
[17:53] Fujita
    What are you talking about?
[17:57] Mei
    T-Thank you very much.
[17:59] Fujita
    Girl...
[18:01] Fujita
    Join me.
[18:02] Mei
    Huh?
[18:03] Fujita
    The Supernatural Division would make
    good use of your Tamayori powers.
[18:08] Mei
    The Supernatural Division?
[18:10] Mei
    To make me eliminate ghosts?
[18:14] Fujita
    Stay by me, and I will protect you.
[18:24] Fujita
    I will not allow anyone else
    to be sacrificed to spirits.
[18:31] Mei
    Th-That hurts.
[18:34] Fujita
    My apologies.
[18:36] Mei
    Has something happened?
[18:42] Mei
    I'm sorry, though. I won't
    join the Supernatural Division.
[18:46] Fujita
    Because I slay spirits?
[18:49] Mei
    Neither Jane-san nor Shirayuki-san
    were simply things to be feared.
[18:54] Mei
    I believe that, like humans,
    ghosts can also be complicated
[18:57] Mei
    in their own ways and are capable
    of having kind hearts.
[19:04] Mei
    That is why I would like to learn more
    about them, and understand them.
[19:17] (Flashback) Classmate D
    You're Ayazuki Mei-san, right?
[19:22] Fujita
    What is it?
[19:27] Mei
    I just felt a bit dizzy.
[19:30] Fujita
    Are you all right?
[19:32] Mei
    Yes, forgive me. I'm fine now.
[19:36] Fujita
    Don't push yourself.
[19:37] Mei
    I won't.
[19:39] Yakumo
    No!
[19:40] Yakumo
    W-W-What are you doing?!
[19:44] Yakumo
    You have shown your true
    colors, Fujita-san!
[19:47] Yakumo
    No, you dirty policeman!
[19:49] Fujita
    Who are you calling "dirty"?
[19:51] Otojiro
    What the hell? You bastard, Fujita!
[19:56] Otojiro
    What are you doing to my precious Mei?
[19:59] Kyoka
    Now he's Otoyakko!
[20:02] Ougai
    My Little Squirrel is mine and mine alone.
[20:02] Syunso
    Dirty, dirty!
[20:03] Fujita
    Shut up!
[20:04] Otojiro
    What a pathetic man.
[20:06] Fujita
    Why, you...!
[20:06] Ougai
    I will have to make sure everyone
    else knows that as well,
[20:07] Otojiro
    Who do you think you are? How dare
    you speak to a lady like that!
[20:09] Kyoka
    You can't get away with that just
    because you're a policeman!
[20:09] Ougai
    since they keep doing regrettable
    things like offering her
[20:11] Yakumo
    It's nonsense for a man to
    treat a lady so badly.
[20:11] Ougai
    alcohol and trying to feed her.
[20:13] Fujita
    How the heck is he a lady?!
[20:14] Syunso
    Ugh, I'm hungry.

    some more. Come on, Mei.
[20:19] Kyoka
    He told Mei to come.
[20:20] Yakumo
    He did indeed.
[20:21] Ougai
    Now, now, everyone please refrain from
    dragging my Little Squirrel around.
[20:25] Ougai
    Are you listening? Hey, you guys!
[20:29] Mei

    drink too much, everyone!

    Sure.
[21:16] Fujita
    Now then,
[21:19] Fujita
    Army Surgeon First Class Mori,
    what did you come here for?
[21:23] Ougai
    I wondered if a member of the
     Supernatural Division, such as yourself,
[21:28] Ougai
    might be able to protect that incredibly
    important girl in ways that I cannot.
[21:32] Fujita
    What?
[21:35] Fujita
    I can't do that.
[21:36] Ougai
    Why not?
[21:37] Fujita
    She already turned me down.
[21:39] Ougai
    Well, then.
[21:41] Fujita
    She's a strange girl.
[21:43] Ougai
    There is no other girl as good as her.
[21:54] Fujita
    They are a boisterous bunch,
[21:57] Fujita
    but this evening wasn't so bad.
[22:08] Ougai
    It's all thanks to her.
[22:12] Mei
    Okay, everyone, I've brought refills.
[22:16] Otojiro
    Oh, how thoughtful of you.
[22:18] Yakumo
    Thank you very much, Mei-san!
[22:20] Kyoka
    Yuck, what is this?
[22:20] Ougai
    Mei...
[22:22] Syunso
    So this ain't alcohol?
[22:24] Mei
    Nope. You've all had far too much to
    drink, so I brought you some water.
[22:29] Otojiro
    No way! Come on!
[22:30] All
    Stop playing! More alcohol!
