[00:10] ---
    There, it's dealt with.
[00:16] ---
    I don't know what it is you hear,
[00:20] ---
    but I don't believe a word an Another says.
[00:27] ---
    Or anything you say.
[00:30] ---
    But still, I...
[00:33] ---
    You want to solve problems
     with the Anothers by talking?
[00:39] ---
    Very well.
[00:41] ---
    You can deal with a case I'm working on.
[00:46] ---
    Let's have you solve
    it with those Ears of yours.
[00:51] ---
    It involves something at the Olympic Stadium.

[02:37] ---
    Miyako-san?
[02:39] ---
    Aida-san?
[02:41] ---
    Thank you...
[02:44] ---
    Ryo woke up, thanks to you.
[02:48] ---
    Thank you so much.
[02:50] ---
    N-No, actually...
[02:52] ---
    You kept your promise, didn't you?
[02:55] ---
    Ryo, you thank him, too.
[03:02] ---
    Thank you!
[03:15] ---
    I heard you solved Aida-san's problem.
[03:19] ---
    Senda-san...
[03:21] ---
    That's great.
[03:23] ---
    Yeah, I guess...
[03:28] ---
    If you want to talk, we can.
[03:32] ---
    I see.
[03:33] ---
    The elites at City Hall can be pretty brutal.
[03:37] ---
    I can't say for sure that
     Kanoichi-san is wrong, but...
[03:42] ---
    I can't accept it.
[03:44] ---
    Yeah, just stomping on him was brutal.
[03:48] ---
    Same with viewing Anothers as just
    things to be killed or spared.
[03:54] ---
    What do you think, Sakaki-kun?
[03:57] ---
    Kanoichi Satoru's way of handling it aside,
[03:59] ---
    it was the best option in terms of making
     sure there were no more casualties.
[04:05] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[04:06] ---
    I'm not saying the way you do things is wrong.
[04:09] ---
    I was worried when I saw you were
     sympathetic to Azazel, though.
[04:16] ---
    Your Ears seem to make you
     way too sympathetic to Anothers.
[04:21] ---
    When that works out, great.
[04:24] ---
    But some day, it might not.
[04:29] ---
    I want you to realize that the Ears of Sand
     aren't some kind of all-powerful skill.
[04:35] ---
    They have their downside.
[04:38] ---
    If you keep that in mind when you use them,
[04:41] ---
    we'll be there to be back you up.
[04:44] ---
    So don't worry.
[04:46] ---
    Theo-san.
[04:49] ---
    You're such a great team.
[04:52] ---
    You're very cute—
[04:54] ---
    I mean, very talented... workers.
[04:57] ---
    As your boss, I'm very proud.
[05:02] ---
    The elites at City Hall, huh?
[05:05] ---
    From what Miyako-kun said,
     something seems dangerous about that guy.
[05:12] ---
    Why?
[05:13] ---
    Whenever someone gets
     arrogant, they always fail.
[05:25] ---
    The details are as I wrote in my email.
[05:29] ---
    Any questions?
[05:32] ---
    Basically, there's an Another
     in the Stadium, right?
[05:37] ---
    The construction work
     is falling behind, you said.
[05:40] ---
    Is that because of the Another?
[05:43] ---
    No, it's better to say it might fall behind.
[05:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[05:50] ---
    You'll know when we get there.
[05:54] ---
    You're aware of why City Hall
     is getting involved, right?
[06:00] ---
    It's the main event area for the Olympics.
[06:19] ---
    Is this all... Anothers?
[06:22] ---
    What is this?
[06:24] ---
    It's like the end of the world.
[06:27] ---
    There've been other small
     problems involving Anothers,
[06:32] ---
    but never of this scale.
[06:35] ---
    Normal people can't see this, right?
[06:39] ---
    Of course not.
[06:40] ---
    So they can come and
    go easily, and keep this up.
[06:45] ---
    It's causing lots of accidents,
     though. Obviously.
[06:49] ---
    We rushed here immediately.
[06:51] ---
    But it was too late.
[06:55] ---
    We realized the mistake we'd made...
[06:57] ---
    There aren't many Anothers
     in this area to serve as predators.
[07:00] ---
    So it was the perfect place to lay eggs.
[07:04] ---
    We tried removing them little by little.
[07:07] ---
    But the next day we came back
     and there were more.
[07:13] ---
    We got nowhere.
[07:15] ---
    But if you can use your Ears
     of Sand to talk to the Another,
[07:21] ---
    it would help us a lot.
[07:24] ---
    We'd save money on our budget, after all.
[07:29] ---
    What Anothers are these?
[07:32] ---
    Actually, is there anything even inside these?
[07:35] ---
    We cracked one open to check.
[07:38] ---
    It appeared to be some kind of insect Another.
[07:42] ---
    Insect?
[07:43] ---
    So these are cocoons?
[07:46] ---
    Now, Miyako-san, use your Ears of Sand.
[07:51] ---
    W-Wait, Miyako-san!
    It's dangerous to go alone!
[07:57] ---
    Wh-What cocoons are these?
[07:59] ---
    I don't know.
[08:02] ---
    You don't hear any voices?
[08:04] ---
    No, not yet.
[08:07] ---
    Wait a second.
[08:12] ---
    I hear something.
[08:29] ---
    Th-That's...
[08:32] ---
    It's spitting something out.
[08:34] ---
    It's spinning a thread...
[08:43] ---
    There're bigger problems here
     than not being able to talk to it!
[08:47] ---
    Well, Miyako-san?
[08:50] ---
    Did you hear something?
    Did they say something?
[08:55] ---
    The voice... of a baby.
[08:59] ---
    I see.
[09:00] ---
    They're just what they looked like, huh?
[09:05] ---
    What about the parent Another?
[09:08] ---
    We thought of that,
    but we have yet to see it.
[09:13] ---
    So why don't you ask them?
[09:18] ---
    I'd appreciate it, personally.
[09:20] ---
    If we know the cause, we can
     remove it at the source.
[09:24] ---
    And then this will never happen again.
[09:29] ---
    Miyako-san?
[09:39] ---
    You knew, didn't you?
[09:41] ---
    You knew from the start, and yet...
[09:43] ---
    You made me do this!
[09:46] ---
    Well, then, we have to eliminate them.
[09:48] ---
    If you can't do it, we'll have to burn them.
[09:55] ---
    That's...
[09:55] ---
    Any other ideas, then?
[09:58] ---
    You're not going to tell me we should
     just leave them here, are you?
[10:04] ---
    But after seeing them
     and hearing their voices...
[10:06] ---
    Your ears seem to make you
    way too sympathetic to Anothers.
[10:14] ---
    What is there to think about?
[10:17] ---
    The answer is simple.
[10:19] ---
    They're in humanity's territory.
     Some people have even gotten hurt.
[10:24] ---
    If we want to get rid of them,
     we need to do it now.
[10:28] ---
    If you know that and your
     Ears of Sand still can't help you...
[10:33] ---
    You're just in the way.
[10:37] ---
    Tomorrow, we'll all begin to
    handle this with members of City Hall
[10:41] ---
    and the ward offices as planned.
[10:43] ---
    But you're not required to attend.
[10:47] ---
    Shimizu-san, I'd like to explain what we're
    doing tomorrow. Please remain here.
[10:52] ---
    Miyako-san, tomorrow, please return
     to your regular office to work.
[10:56] ---
    Thank you for coming today.
[11:51] ---
    Feeling down, Arata?
[11:54] ---
    Kohaku...
[11:56] ---
    I was watching the whole time.
[11:58] ---
    What a sight it was!
[12:00] ---
    That's not something you see every day.
[12:03] ---
    It's something unique to Japan.
[12:05] ---
    Do you know what those cocoons are?
[12:07] ---
    They're just what they look like.
[12:10] ---
    I've seen humans doing
     similar things, a long time ago.
[12:15] ---
    Anyway, the festival is about to begin.
[12:18] ---
    What festival?
[12:20] ---
    I'm jealous, though.
[12:22] ---
    I could make myself the perfect
     thing with that stuff.
[12:26] ---
    Maybe I'll ask for some.
[12:29] ---
    Don't you think so, Arata?
[12:31] ---
    I can understand your words, but still
     have no idea what you're saying.
[12:35] ---
    Okay, bye!
[12:36] ---
    I'll show you when it's done!
[12:39] ---
    Look forward to it! Promise me you will!
[12:45] ---
    As always, I have no idea what that was about.
[12:53] ---
    I'm back, Yuki.
[12:56] ---
    Yuki?
[13:03] ---
    Where'd he run off to?
SIGN    City Hall
[13:32] ---
    Akane-san?
SIGN    Imperial Gardens
SIGN    Shinjuku Imperial Gardens
[13:37] ---
    Was I just being naïve?
[13:41] ---
    I guess this time it was a really bad matchup.
[13:44] ---
    A humanoid bug-type that looks like a baby.
[13:48] ---
    That's rough.
[13:50] ---
    What would you do, Kyoichi?
[13:52] ---
    If it were me, the first thing
     I'd do is try to move the cocoons.
[14:00] ---
    What Kanoichi Satoru said
     would be my last option.
[14:05] ---
    I should've snuck in and gotten a sample!
[14:08] ---
    Didn't you get one?
[14:10] ---
    Sorry, I didn't think of it!
[14:13] ---
    That idiot Kanoichi...
[14:15] ---
    If he chose to get rid of them, then
     he'd better have taken a sample.
[14:19] ---
    Theo...
[14:22] ---
    From the perspective of a scientist,
[14:24] ---
    getting rid of all the Anothers is a bad move.
[14:46] ---
    I heard you got in a fight with Miyako-san.
[14:53] ---
    Shimizu-kun told me.
[14:55] ---
    It wasn't a fight...
[14:58] ---
    Then why did you take him off today's job?
[15:02] ---
    Because we don't need him.
[15:05] ---
    But...
[15:06] ---
    Akane-san, you like
    to take his side, don't you?
[15:13] ---
    Lately, I've started to understand
     how Suzu-sama feels.
[15:19] ---
    Suzu?
[15:20] ---
    The house god?
[15:24] ---
    Of course, I don't know what she's saying.
[15:27] ---
    So I have to guess from
     her facial expressions.
[15:29] ---
    That's just your imagination.
[15:32] ---
    Communication with
     Anothers is impossible.
[15:34] ---
    Since Miyako-san came, I feel like
     I'm a little closer to Suzu-sama.
[15:39] ---
    You can't trust him.
[15:41] ---
    He's close to the Anothers.
[15:43] ---
    He's like...
[15:44] ---
    Uncle?
[15:59] ---
    When I see how Miyako-san
    treats the Anothers,
[16:02] ---
    I remember my uncle... your father.
[16:08] ---
    He was Suzu-sama's friend, too...
[16:16] ---
    This scar.
[16:17] ---
    Do you keep it as a sign of your
     hatred toward the Kanoichi clan?
[16:29] ---
    Anothers...
[16:34] ---
    drive men mad.
[16:38] ---
    So we should get rid of them
     as soon as we can.
[16:44] ---
    But surely you understand...
[16:48] ---
    what those cocoons are.
[16:53] ---
    There's no other way.
[17:01] ---
    I'm curious about what Huehuecóyotl said.
[17:06] ---
    He said there'd be a "festival" soon, right?
[17:09] ---
    Right.
[17:10] ---
    Which means... Izumo, probably.
[17:14] ---
    Izumo?
[17:15] ---
    You've heard of Kaminashizuki,
     the godless month, right?
[17:17] ---
    In Izumo, they call it Kamiarizuki,
     the month of gods.
[17:19] ---
    Um, in October of the old Japanese calendar,
[17:22] ---
    all the gods of Japan gather
     in Izumo and have a festival, right?
[17:26] ---
    Yeah.
[17:27] ---
    For that reason, in September
     of the old calendar,
[17:30] ---
    the Anothers start to vanish.
[17:35] ---
    They're probably getting ready to head
    to Izumo, or getting ready for the festival.
[17:40] ---
    He said humans have been doing it, too.
[17:44] ---
    Insects and cocoons...
[17:47] ---
    Silkworms?
[17:49] ---
    Yes.
[17:51] ---
    They're probably harvesting silk.
[17:53] ---
    Oh, this is...
[17:54] ---
    Not good news.
[17:57] ---
    If Huehuecóyotl was talking
     about the Izumo festival...
[18:02] ---
    Then the Anothers are using
     cocoons to make silk.
[18:05] ---
    Wait.
[18:07] ---
    Kanoichi-san said he couldn't find
     the mother of the cocoon babies.
[18:11] ---
    But even Kanoichi Satoru's operating on
     the assumption that she exists at all.
[18:17] ---
    He opted for burning them
     because of the location.
[18:21] ---
    He's probably getting pressure
    from above to solve this.
[18:26] ---
    Even if the mother does show up,
     he may assume he can deal with them.
[18:32] ---
    Even if they do, he'll be able to—
[18:35] ---
    No! If we're right, this is seriously bad news.
[18:39] ---
    We can't burn them!
[18:40] ---
    If they're for a festival of the gods,
[18:44] ---
    they're not something humans should mess with!
[18:52] ---
    We'll follow the plan we discussed yesterday.
[18:56] ---
    Use the talismans I passed out to you...
[19:04] ---
    As you can see, they generate purifying
     flames that only work on Anothers.
[19:10] ---
    They don't work in a wide area,
[19:12] ---
    so you're unfortunately going
     to have to put one on each cocoon.
[19:18] ---
    Okay, let's get to work.
[19:35] ---
    Hey, you can't do that!
[19:38] ---
    I won't be able to make my clothes!
[19:42] ---
    What an awful thing to do.
[19:50] ---
    Shall I get rid of those humans for you?
[19:58] ---
    Tch... I thought I could
    get her to owe me one.
[20:06] ---
    Okay, we'll be done by morning at this rate.
[20:13] ---
    I'm glad we were able
     to deal with this quickly.
[20:16] ---
    It's fast when you've got a team this size.
[20:19] ---
    Once this is done, can you help
     with the stands, Yamaoka?
[20:24] ---
    They seem to be running behind...
[20:31] ---
    Yamaoka?
[20:45] ---
    Shit! It showed up!

    Where is it?
