[00:06] ---
    Abe no Seimei.
[00:08] ---
    An onmyoji from the Heian era.
[00:11] ---
    He was skilled in both
    astronomy and astrology,
[00:14] ---
    using many different types of familiars.
[00:17] ---
    He was the one who gave
    Kohaku his name, supposedly.
[00:22] ---
    So, our research indicates
[00:24] ---
    that it's a safe assumption that the Miyako
     family is descended from Abe no Seimei.
[00:31] ---
    I saw that coming.

[02:10] ---
    We also believe that the genealogy chart
     the Miyako family possesses is accurate.

[02:15] ---
    But then, where did the
    name "Miyako" come from?
[02:19] ---
    To keep people from finding out, right?
[02:22] ---
    That happens a lot in this business.
[02:25] ---
    You're absolutely sure about this?
[02:28] ---
    Don't worry.
[02:29] ---
    Coincidentally, I happened to meet
     someone who's a direct descendant.
[02:35] ---
    They happened to invite me to their library,
[02:36] ---
    where they happened to leave
     the relevant documents on a desk,
[02:40] ---
    and I happened to get a chance to see them.
[02:42] ---
    You're terrifying.
[02:44] ---
    Which means...
[02:46] (Flashback) ---
    Your knack for languages hasn't changed a bit,
[02:50] (Flashback) ---
    Abe no Seimei.
[02:53] ---
    What he said was...
[02:55] ---
    True, probably.
[02:57] ---
    You may happen to have inherited an
     especially strong version of Seimei's power.
[03:01] ---
    Do you think so?
[03:06] ---
    Kamata-san, this is my sister's paperwork.
[03:09] ---
    Thanks!
[03:11] ---
    Your sister's paperwork?
[03:12] ---
    Yeah.
[03:13] ---
    The way she has to return
    to society is a bit unusual.
[03:16] ---
    We decide if we use official channels,
[03:17] ---
    and get a family court to retract
     the missing persons' report,
[03:20] ---
    or do something else.
[03:23] ---
    Sakaki-kun's sister isn't the first person
     to go missing thanks to an Another.
[03:31] ---
    So the question is whether she stays
     her own age, but looks like she's 17,
[03:34] ---
    or becomes a different person who's 17.
[03:37] ---
    And for things like that, you need
     people like us who can help you.
[03:44] ---
    Both options have their
     upsides and downsides.
[03:48] ---
    So think carefully on it.
[03:49] ---
    Got it.

[04:03] ---
    That looks great on you, Shiori-san.
[04:06] ---
    Do you think?
[04:08] ---
    Right?
[04:08] ---
    Yeah. It looks great.
[04:12] ---
    Okay, I guess I'll get this.
[04:15] ---
    Okay!
[04:29] ---
    Sorry to drag you out
    here on your day off.
[04:31] ---
    It's fine.
[04:32] ---
    Honestly, I'm glad Izumi-chan was able to help.
[04:35] ---
    Me and my sister have no idea
     what teenage girls wear these days.
[04:40] ---
    You look happy, Sakaki-san.
[04:43] ---
    I sure am.
[04:44] ---
    When I was a kid, I caused my
     sister a lot of trouble.
[04:48] ---
    And you...
[04:50] ---
    You and Theo helped me out a lot.
[04:54] ---
    Sakaki-san?
[04:55] ---
    And thanks to you, I finally have her back.
[04:59] ---
    I don't know what I do from now on.
[05:03] ---
    But for now, I'm just happy to
     be able to do something for her.
[05:07] ---
    Next we'll need to get some
     winter clothes for her.
[05:10] ---
    I hope you can come then, too.
[05:16] ---
    Thanks for coming today, Izumi.
[05:18] ---
    It's fine! You bought
    me a bunch of stuff, too.
[05:22] ---
    How's your arm?
[05:23] ---
    It's fine now.
[05:26] ---
    What about you? Are you okay?
[05:29] ---
    Is what you're doing dangerous?
[05:31] ---
    Izumi...
[05:33] ---
    I know you can't tell me all about your job.
[05:36] ---
    But...
[05:38] ---
    Are you getting involved
     in things like that a lot?
[05:43] ---
    I'm a little worried.
[05:47] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:49] ---
    I have co-workers I can trust.
[05:52] ---
    I'll be fine.
[05:56] ---
    Yeah, they seem good.
[06:00] ---
    Right?
[06:15] ---
    Arata, what's wrong?
[06:21] ---
    She's worried, huh?
[06:24] ---
    I guess that's natural...
[06:28] ---
    What's got you down in the dumps?
[06:32] ---
    Whose fault do you think it is?!
[06:33] ---
    Whose?
[06:34] ---
    I haven't forgotten that
     you put Izumi in danger!
[06:38] ---
    It was for a friend.
[06:41] ---
    Will you do anything for a friend?
[06:43] ---
    Well, yeah, because they're a friend.
[06:48] ---
    Kohaku?
[06:50] ---
    Yes...
[06:52] ---
    A friend?
[06:54] ---
    Could we see them today?

    You're not taking me someplace weird, are you?
[07:14] ---
    I haven't been on a walk with Arata in forever.
[07:17] ---
    You're nice to cats, aren't you?
[07:20] ---
    Since you invited me.
[07:22] ---
    Bastet's scary when she gets mad.

    Bastet?

    An important cat!
[07:27] ---
    She gets mad really easy,
     but she's a good musician.
[07:32] ---
    Wow, it feels so alive!

[07:44] ---
    I love this place.
    The stage is big! The music's loud!
[07:48] ---
    And everybody's so excited!

    You've been here before?
[07:51] ---
    Yeah, I come by here a lot!
[07:52] ---
    You pay for tickets, right—
[07:57] ---
    No point in saying that
     to an Another, is there?
[08:17] ---
    You're still here?
[08:19] ---
    I keep telling you not to live here.
[08:22] ---
    It's a mid-autumn harvest moon tonight, right?
[08:24] ---
    I was thinking of harvesting a mandragora.
[08:27] ---
    Don't let the general affairs
     department find you.
[08:30] ---
    If they find you using the office on
     a day we're closed, they'll get mad again.
[08:34] ---
    What about you?
[08:37] ---
    Bunkyo Ward got in touch with me.
[08:39] ---
    Bunkyo Ward?
[08:40] ---
    Yeah. It's a day off and
    they're still mad at me.
[08:44] ---
    I'm too old for this.
[08:45] ---
    And why'd they get mad?
[08:49] ---
    Well, you see...

    There's that Another following
     Miyako-kun around, right?
[08:55] ---
    Huehuecóyotl, right?
[08:57] ---
    The one Arata calls Kohaku?
[08:59] ---
    Yeah.
[09:00] ---
    And supposedly, he's wandering
     around Bunkyo Ward.
[09:06] ---
    He's got the local Anothers
     in an uproar, they say.
[09:11] ---
    Of course he does!
[09:12] ---
    He's an Aztec god!
[09:14] ---
    He's on a whole other
    level than most Anothers.
[09:16] ---
    Yeah...
[09:19] ---
    And supposedly, Miyako-kun's with him.
[09:22] ---
    He seems to just be going for a walk, though.
[09:25] ---
    What's that idiot thinking?
[09:27] ---
    Stop him somehow!

    No!
[12:59] ---
    I'm not a normal crow!
[13:02] ---
    I am Yatagarasu! The famous

[13:05] ---
    through the land of Musashino!
[13:07] ---
    Look at these beautiful inky-black wings!
[13:10] ---
    Seimei-sama gave me a special name
     because he loved their beautiful color!
[13:16] ---
    Now clean out your ears and listen carefully!
[13:18] ---
    My name, given to me in honor
     of my nobility and dignity is...
[13:25] ---
    Kuro.
[13:28] ---
    Sound about right.
[13:29] ---
    Yeah. Pretty standard.
[13:30] ---
    That name was a gift from Seimei-sama!

    Wait, you understand me, human?

    Yeah, I do.
[13:42] ---
    S-S-Seimei-sama?!
[13:45] ---
    I'm so sorry!

    U-Uh, my bird eyes can barely see.
[14:08] ---
    My cat eyes can see fine!
[14:11] ---
    A crow who was a friend of Seimei's, huh?
[14:14] ---
    Perfect.
[14:15] ---
    Take us to Seimei's garden.
[14:18] ---
    Seimei's garden?
[14:21] ---
    Yes... Yes. Sounds great. Thanks.

    Did you write down what
     they said on the phone?
[14:28] ---
    Yeah, it's fine.
[14:30] ---
    He's so weird.
[14:33] ---
    He has sympathy for a devil,
[14:35] ---
    sides with Anothers,
[14:37] ---
    takes gods of disaster for walks...
[14:39] ---
    Sympathy for a devil, huh?
[14:44] (Flashback) ---
    The disappearances were actually kidnappings
    committed by the devil named Azazel.
[14:49] (Flashback) ---
    So now the case of the missing
     high school girls is solved, right?
[14:53] (Flashback) ---
    I hope so.
[14:55] (Flashback) ---
    Sorry for making you deal with such
    a big case while I was gone.
[15:01] (Flashback) ---
    It's fine.
[15:01] (Flashback) ---
    I'm glad your sister's back, though.
[15:05] (Flashback) ---
    It's because you recruited me
     to Nocturnal Relations.
[15:11] (Flashback) ---
    You, too.
[15:12] (Flashback) ---
    Miyako-kun, thanks to your Ears of Sand...

    I couldn't bear to listen...

    The girl's maddened screams.
[15:24] (Flashback) ---
    Azazel's disappointed sobs.
[15:27] (Flashback) ---
    I can't get them out of my head.
[15:31] (Flashback) ---
    I... I feel so bad for Azazel.
[15:36] (Flashback) ---
    Even though he kidnapped your friend?
[15:39] (Flashback) ---
    If you saw... If you saw that...
     anybody would feel sympathy.
[15:46] ---
    Ears of Sand, huh?
[15:49] ---
    I thought they were a double-edged
     sword, and I was right.
[15:52] ---
    Understanding them means he can
    sympathize with them easily.
[15:57] ---
    I hope he doesn't end up dead someday.
[16:04] ---
    We'll take a right up ahead.
[16:07] ---
    You're excited, crow.
[16:08] ---
    Shut up, fatty cat. You need to leave.
[16:17] ---
    I've waited for Seimei-sama for so long...
[16:20] ---
    You have no idea how happy
     I am to guide him once more!

[16:36] ---
    Huh? Twenty-one?
[16:38] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[16:41] ---
    Is this where you wanted to take me?

    Seimei's garden?
[17:25] ---
    It's beautiful!
[18:04] ---
    I didn't exist.

[18:15] ---
    I didn't exist.

    The thing is...
[19:09] ---
    You'd still be Kohaku, I think.

    The deep yellow in your eyes...
[19:19] ---
    It's like "kohaku," amber.
