[00:01] Guy
    Wiped out, huh?
[00:02] Guy
    But considering the tactic he used,
     I'm sure that Kanoichi-kun thought
[00:06] Guy
    there was a chance this would succeed.
[00:10] Guy
    What? Isn't that a bit much to ask?
[00:18] Guy
    Not to mention that he did tell
     Miyako-kun not to show up.

[00:26] Guy
    We're not obligated to lend
     Miyako-kun out to you,
[00:30] Guy
    nor clean up the mess that you guys made.
[00:33] Guy
    I understand how dangerous it is,
     but our hands our tied.
[00:38] Guy
    I mean...
[00:39] Guy
    If we were to get jurisdiction over the case,
[00:42] Guy
    then we may be able to do something...
[00:44] Guy
    Goodbye.

    Everyone dealing with
     the cocoons was wiped out?
[02:29] Kyoichi
    What's going on?
[02:31] Fairies
    She's mad, she's super mad!
[02:34] Fairy
    Manari-sama is mad!
[02:36] Arata
    Ow!
[02:38] Fairy
    We can't make offerings!
[02:41] Fairy
    The Silkworm Princess is really angry!
[02:44] Fairy
    Now none of us can live here anymore!
[02:47] Fairies
    Jerks!
[02:50] Arata
    Offerings? What offerings?
[02:53] Theo
    Offerings?!
[02:54] Theo
    Is that what they said?
[02:56] Arata
    Huh? Yes.
[02:58] Theo
    This is really bad!
[02:59] Theo
    As I thought, those cocoons were
     materials to make offerings to a god.
[03:04] Arata
    A god?!

[03:10] Senda
    I see.
[03:12] Senda
    Miyako-kun, have you ever
     heard of Oshira-sama?
[03:18] Theo
    They're one of the kaikogami.
[03:19] Theo
    This is going to be worse
     than handling demons.
[03:22] Kyoichi
    At least you can exorcise
     demons and deal with them...
[03:26] Senda
    But mess with the gods of this
     country, and they'll curse you.
[03:32] Arata
    Curse?
[03:33] Theo
    Well, we did piss them off quite a bit.
[03:36] Theo
    Worst case scenario, they might turn into
     tatarigami, and then we'll really be in trouble.
[03:40] Kyoichi
    Well, there's usually a ritual we can do
[03:42] Kyoichi
    to appease the angered
     god before it comes to that,
[03:46] Kyoichi
    but those rituals have always
     been a bit complicated
[03:49] Kyoichi
    and it's hard to communicate with...
[03:52] Theo
    Don't tell me...
[03:53] Senda
    Yup.
[03:55] Senda
    City Hall's asking us to settle
     things with the Another
[03:59] Senda
    using Miyako-kun's Ears of Sand.
[04:01] Theo
    It's on the verge of becoming a tatarigami!
[04:03] Theo
    You're okay with putting
     Arata in danger like that?!
[04:08] Arata
    I'll do it.
[04:09] Theo
    Huh?
[04:10] Arata
    I'll be fine... I think.
[04:12] Theo
    You—
[04:13] Arata
    I mean, it's pretty scary...
[04:16] Arata
    But I'm able to tell what's
     actually scary right now.
[04:20] Arata
    If there's something I can
     do about this... I'll do it.
[04:30] Senda
    Are you really sure about this?
[04:34] Arata
    Yes.
[04:38] Senda
    Good. This is a perfect opportunity
     to make City Hall owe us one.
[04:42] Arata
    Right!
[04:50] Kano
    I knew there was a parent somewhere.
[04:53] Kano
    I let my guard down.
[04:55] Kano
    This is a kekkaiseki blade.
[04:58] Kano
    It has the ability to kill Anothers.
[05:01] Kano
    I can kill you with my own hands.
     You're just another insect.
[05:09] Kano
    I have no idea what you're
    trying to say, but...
[05:18] Kano
    Can't move, can you?
[05:20] Kano
    You show up out of nowhere, wreck this place,
[05:23] Kano
    and then have the nerve to hurt some people.
[05:25] Kano
    I wish you things would get a clue already.
[05:28] Kano
    This place belongs to us humans now.
[05:31] Kano
    There's no place for Anothers like you anymore!
[05:43] Arata
    Wait!
[05:44] Arata
    Wait! Please!
[05:46] Kano
    There's no point in you showing up now.
[05:54] Arata
    I told you to wait, damn it!
[05:55] Kano
    Why, you little—
[05:56] Arata
    Don't hurt her any more!
[05:58] Kano
    "Her"?
[05:59] Kano
    That's an Another! She's not human!
[06:02] Kano
    Once I kill her, this will all be over.
[06:04] Kano
    Stay out of my way!
[06:05] Arata
    You just want to kill Anothers!
[06:07] Arata
    That isn't going to solve anything!
     It's just going to create a bigger mess!
[06:11] Kano
    Out of my way!
[06:13] Arata
    And you can stay out of the way of my work!
[06:16] Kano
    Wha—
[06:17] Kano
    Why, you little...
[06:21] Kano

    Heya, this is Senda from

[06:40] Kano
    What are you doing on this line?
[06:43] Senda
    Could you let Miyako-kun and
    my crew handle the situation
[06:46] Senda
    while you go rescue the others?
[06:48] Kano
    I'm pretty sure you have no authority over me.
[06:51] Kano
    I'm the one in charge of this—
[06:52] Senda
    Yeah, about that... You're not.
[06:55] Kano
    What?
[06:56] Senda
    City Hall has let go of their jurisdiction over
     the Olympic Stadium for the time being.
[07:01] Senda
    The Shinjuku Ward Office Nocturnal
    Community Relations Division
[07:05] Senda
    is now in charge of this operation.
[07:07] Kano
    Who the hell authorized that?!
[07:09] Senda
    Number Zero of the Tokyo Nocturnal
     Special Ordinance Committee.
[07:14] Kano
    The governor... of Tokyo...
[07:17] Senda
    So yeah, this is now our jurisdiction.
[07:21] Senda
    Make sure you don't step out of line.
[07:27] Kano
    How dare you...
[07:29] Kano
    So what's someone as
     worthless as you going to do?
[07:33] Arata
    I need you to free her.
[07:36] Arata
    I'll go talk to her.
[07:45] Arata
    Manari-sama.
[07:47] Kaiko
    Seimei...
[07:49] Kaiko
    It's been a while.
[07:52] Kaiko
    What could you possibly want?
[07:54] Arata
    I wanted to apologize for what
     the humans have done to you.
[08:02] Kaiko
    You have some nerve.
[08:05] Kaiko
    There's nothing that can undo
     what you humans have done.
[08:12] Kaiko
    To think that half of them were burned...
[08:15] Kaiko
    My poor, defenseless silk spinners
     that could do nothing but burn...
[08:19] Kaiko
    How mortifying.
[08:24] Kaiko
    Those children didn't just
     produce silk to make cocoons.
[08:29] Kaiko
    After they emerged, they would spin
     their own cocoons into the finest silk thread.
[08:36] Kaiko
    Even if I had the remaining
     children continue to produce silk,
[08:39] Kaiko
    there aren't enough to spin it into thread.
[08:43] Kaiko
    If I don't depart by dawn, I won't
     make it in time for the Izumo festival.
[08:50] Kaiko
    Without silk to offer to the gods,
     we cannot receive the power of the sun.
[08:57] Kaiko
    I will be unable to make it through
     the winter and will perish.
[09:02] Kaiko
    There's no going back now.
[09:06] Kaiko
    Do you now understand what you humans did?
[09:10] Kaiko
    My rage will not go away until I have killed
    a human for every child of mine they burned!
[09:16] Kaiko
    If all else fails, I'll curse this land
     and use my hatred for you humans
[09:21] Kaiko
    to bring upon a never-ending curse of death!
[09:23] Theo
    That's some insane miasma...
[09:25] Kyoichi
    Is she turning into a tatarigami?
[09:33] Arata
    I'll take you...
[09:35] Arata
    I'll take you!
[09:38] Arata
    I'll spin the silk for you and
     take you to the Izumo festival!
[09:43] Kaiko
    You're going to... take me?
[09:46] Arata
    Yes.
[09:51] Kaiko
    What could you possibly do on your own?
[09:54] Arata
    I can't do this alone... But I have friends.
[10:00] Kaiko
    You humans will spin silk from my cocoons?
[10:10] Kaiko
    You understand what will happen to this land
     if I do not make it to the festival, right?
[10:16] Arata
    Yes.
[10:19] Kaiko
    Then I shall wait.
[10:33] Guy
    Hey! Wake up! Hey!
[10:39] Senda
    Someone to spin the silk, eh...
[10:41] Senda
    Are we going to be able to get through
     all these cocoons by dawn, though?
[10:45] Theo
    Do you have some brilliant plan, Arata?
[10:48] Arata
    I have an idea, so I'm going
     to hurry and look into it.
[10:51] Theo
    An idea?
[10:52] Arata
    I'll be right back, so please get started!
[10:55] Theo
    H-Hey!
[10:56] Senda
    Make sure you don't lose track of time!
[10:59] Arata
    I know!

    Shut up and just tell me where you need me.
[11:29] Senda
    Could you start with
     the second-floor seats, then?
[11:45] Guy
    This is pretty amazing.
[11:47] Guy
    Everyone from all the Nocturnal

[11:50] Girl
    So these are Oshira-sama's cocoons...
[11:53] Girl
    What time is dawn?
[11:55] Guy
    Apparently, 6:02.
[11:58] Girl
    So we have about thirty minutes.
[12:01] Kano
    All right, lights on.
[12:08] Kano
    Don't let down your guard until we know
     that the Another's no longer a threat.
[12:15] Theo
    Is that jerk still going on about this?
[12:18] Kyoichi
    Well, considering his position...
[12:20] Theo
    He should quit preparing for something
     that may not happen and actually help out.
[12:30] Guy
    It's moving!
[12:31] Kano
    But it's not dawn yet!
[12:34] Kano
    The Ears of Sand are worthless after all.
[12:47] Kano
    What the hell is that?
[13:03] Arata
    I brought us some more spinners!
[13:06] Kano
    You can't be serious...
[13:19] Kano
    You asked Anothers for help?
[13:22] Arata
    It'll be fine.
[13:23] Arata
    I'm counting on you guys!
[13:29] Taro
    Sure.
[13:30] Taro
    Okay, let's do this!
[13:32] Guys
    Yeah!
[13:36] Kano
    Hey!
[13:37] Kano
    This is absurd! I can't even—
[13:41] Kyoichi
    If Miyako says it's okay, then it is, right?
[13:45] Arata
    Yeah!
[13:46] Arata
    Right?
[13:52] Senda
    Miyako-kun, could I get an
     explanation for the record?
[13:56] Arata
    Oh, sure...
[13:59] (Flashback) Taro
    I have no obligation to help humans.
[14:02] (Flashback) Taro
    And humans are the ones who burned
    the cocoons and angered the Silkworm Princess.
[14:07] (Flashback) Arata
    You're exactly right.
[14:09] (Flashback) Arata
    There's nothing I can say to deny that.
[14:12] (Flashback) Arata
    But if Manari-sama becomes a tatarigami,
     you'll no longer be able to live here, either.
[14:18] (Flashback) Arata
    I don't want that to happen
     because of something humans did.
[14:23] (Flashback) Arata
    I understand that I'm being selfish.
[14:26] (Flashback) Arata
    But this is all I can do.
[14:31] (Flashback) Arata
    Please, Tarobo-san,
    members of the tengu clan...
[14:35] (Flashback) Arata
    Please lend me a hand.
[14:39] (Flashback) Tengu
    What do you guys wanna do?
[14:40] (Flashback) Tengu
    If the princess can't make the festival,
     there'll be all kinds of trouble.
[14:44] (Flashback) Tengu
    Yeah, but...
[14:46] (Flashback) Tengu
    The humans should get what they deserve.
[14:50] (Flashback) Tengu
    But we might not be able to live here anymore.
[14:54] (Flashback) Tengu
    Yeah...
[14:58] (Flashback) Taro
    All right.
[15:05] (Flashback) Taro
    Guys, gather up the others.
[15:08] (Flashback) Taro
    I have somewhere to go with Seimei.
[15:13] (Flashback) Taro
    You can use all the help
     you can get right now, right?
[15:15] (Flashback) Taro
    We're going to get Adiel.
[15:18] (Flashback) Taro
    I owe you, Seimei.
[15:21] (Flashback) Taro
    I mean... Miyako Arata.
[15:24] (Flashback) Taro
    I'm counting on you to help me out
     the next time I need help.
[15:28] (Flashback) Arata
    Of course, Tarobo-san!
[15:30] (Flashback) Arata
    I promise!
[15:34] Senda
    I see. So that's how you got all these people.
[15:39] Theo
    Well, I mean, they're Anothers. Not people.
[15:43] Theo
    So the tengu added some conditions.
[15:48] Arata
    I know you said it was dangerous to negotiate,
[15:51] Arata
    but I thought this was a great opportunity.
[15:56] Arata
    There were times my emotions were
     swayed because of my Ears of Sand.
[16:01] Arata
    And I know that they're not always
     useful, after some experience,
[16:04] Arata
    and that negotiating can be dangerous.
[16:07] Arata
    But I also learned that our reasoning
     may not mean a thing to them,
[16:11] Arata
    and the fact that even angels and tengu
     are pretty similar to us sometimes.
[16:16] Theo
    By "us," you mean humans?
[16:19] Arata
    Yes. So I want to speak
     to more Anothers like that.
[16:24] Arata
    Thanks to my Ears of Sand,
[16:25] Arata
    I can tell what they're saying
     and even found out their names.
[16:30] Arata
    If I can use the Ears to help us
     understand each other
[16:34] Arata
    and stop any more conflicts,
[16:36] Arata
    then I think that might be my calling...
[16:42] Taro
    Arata, come here for a sec.
[17:00] Theo
    Anothers and humans together...
[17:03] Theo
    This is truly an amazing sight to behold.
[17:07] Kano
    Doesn't this basically
    prove that he's a threat?
[17:11] Senda
    A threat?
[17:13] Senda
    I mean, he's already got the Aztec god
     of mischief following him around, so...
[17:18] Senda
    Probably a bit late to worry about that now.
[17:24] Theo
    Maybe I need to start changing like Arata, too.
[17:29] Kyoichi
    I can't change my outlook that easily.
[17:32] Theo
    Feeling contradictory?
[17:34] Kyoichi
    Our distance between Anothers
     and our fear of them...
[17:37] Kyoichi
    You never know what'll happen to you
     with this job if you ever forget your fear.
[17:44] Kyoichi
    So I get why you do the things
     you do, Kanoichi-san.
[17:51] Kyoichi
    But the way Miyako tries to solve problems
[17:54] Kyoichi
    allows me to see things
     I never thought I'd see.
[17:57] Kyoichi
    This is something that only Miyako can do.
[18:05] Arata
    Okay, I'm counting on you guys!
[18:38] Taro
    I guess it somehow worked out in the end.
[18:40] Arata
    Yes.
[19:07] Kaiko
    They're imperfect.
[19:09] Arata
    I'm really sorry about that.
[19:11] Kaiko
    But... A promise is a promise.
[19:15] Kaiko
    Everything that happened...
     the sins you humans committed...
[19:20] Kaiko
    I will never forget that.
[19:23] Arata
    I understand.
[19:25] Kaiko
    But I shall forgive them for your sake, Seimei.
[19:56] Arata
    I'm Miyako Arata, Manari-sama.
[20:01] Hue
    Arata!
[20:03] Arata
    Ow...
[20:05] Hue
    Take a look at this! Isn't it beautiful?
[20:08] Hue
    I made it with that silk.
[20:10] Hue
    Isn't it simply gorgeous?
[20:13] Arata
    Jeez...
[20:14] Arata
    You have some nerve, after we risked
    our lives spinning that silk...
[20:17] Hue
    I'm gonna go to Izumo now.
[20:20] Cat
    Me, too!
[20:21] Both
    Right?
[20:22] Arata
    Hey! You're not a Japanese god!
[20:24] Hue
    Look forward to some presents when I get back.
[20:27] Cat
    Yeah!
[20:28] Hue
    See ya!
[20:33] Taro
    All right, we're heading home, too.
[20:36] Arata
    Thank you for everything, Tarobo-san.
[20:38] Tengu
    See ya!
[20:39] Arata
    Thank you all!
[20:41] Tengu
    Don't sweat it.
[20:44] Taro
    See you later, Arata.
[20:50] Kano
    This time...
[20:51] Kano
    There were just a lot of coincidences and
     somehow, everything worked out okay.
[20:57] Kano
    If you think that'll happen every time,
     you're in for a world of pain.
[21:05] Arata
    If I were alone, that might happen.
[21:09] Arata
    But my Nocturnal Community
     Relations Division
[21:12] Arata
    is a team of four.
[21:26] Senda
    Excellent work, Miyako-kun.
[21:29] Kyoichi
    Great job, Miyako.
[21:32] Theo
    Good work, Arata.
[21:34] Arata
    Th-Thank you.
[21:36] Senda
    Everyone worked really hard,
     so let's go have a party.
[21:39] Theo
    Great idea!
[21:41] Kyoichi
    Considering the time, should
     we go to our usual place?
[21:44] Senda
    Anywhere is fine.
[21:46] Senda
    City Hall's buying, so eat whatever you want.
[21:50] Senda
    Oh, don't forget the receipt.
[21:52] Senda
    And the expenses will be
     under Kanoichi-kun's name.
[21:55] Arata
    Got it!
