and if I were to read from volume 1
to volume 15, the latest release,
[00:12] ---
I'm sure I'd think,
[00:13] ---
"The protagonist's personality
is all over the place."
[00:18] ---
That's an inevitable fate
for a long-running series.

But, as an ordinary reader, there's just
something unsatisfactory about it.
[00:31] OS
THE ADVENTURE HAS ONLY BEGUN!!
[00:33] ---
But no, I'm not just
an ordinary reader.
[00:36] ---
Nadeko Sengoku
is none other than myself.
[00:40] ---
That's especially why the snapshots of my past
feel like completely different people.

BIG BROTHER

BANGS? WHAT'RE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
[00:44] OS
I'M JUST REALLY CUTE!
[00:45] OS
I HATE YOU, BIG BROTHER
[00:46] ---
Anytime, anywhere, with any person...
[00:48] ---
If you could have
the same personality the whole time,
[00:51] ---
I think that would be abnormal.
[00:54] ---
I was rather audacious in metaphorically
referring to my life as a long-running series.
[00:59] ---
But in reality, my current life as a fifteen-year-old
hasn't even gotten a one-shot published.

Myself from that one time,

Myself from that era,
and myself during those times...
[01:14] ---
And then, my current self.
[01:18] ---
It will never be seen by the world,
and it still has yet to see a beginning.
[01:22] ---
Therefore, it won't end, either.

It's all the one and only Nadeko Sengoku.

Wait... Nope!

Hello there, Sengoku.

Nice to meet you!
My name is Ougi Oshino.
[02:29] ---
I've met you before though.
[02:33] ---
What?
[02:34] OS
OCTOBER 31ST
[02:34] ---
Come to think, it was
the other way around back then?
[02:38] ---
I didn't know about you,
but you knew about me.
[02:43] ---
I don't know anything.
It's what you know, Sengoku.
[02:50] ---
No, wait.
[02:51] ---
For my current self, this is without a doubt
the first time I've met you, Sengoku.
[02:56] ---
Yes, that's right.

OUGI OSHINO

Mr. Ougi Oshino is a second-year boy
attending Naoetsu High School.
[03:02] ---
What about you?
Are you injured, Sengoku?
[03:06] ---
Oh, right. I'm fine, Mr. Ougi.
[03:10] ---
You don't have to be so distant
and call me "Mr. Ougi."

Feel free to call me

RULE OF 10,000 HOURS
[04:27] ---
The rule of 10,000 hours.
[04:29] ---
Apparently there's a study that
no matter the field, people who are
[04:32] OS
BESTSELLER AWARD RECIPIENTS
[04:33] ---
considered top tier have trained
for over 10,000 hours.
[04:38] ---
And there are only 24 hours in a day.
[04:41] ---
Let's round that to 25 hours
to make calculations easier.
[04:47] ---
In other words,
four days would be 100 hours.
[04:47] OS
=100 HOURS
[04:49] ---
Forty days is 1,000 hours.
[04:50] OS
=1,000 HOURS
[04:51] OS
(ABRIDGED) =10,000 HOURS
[04:51] ---
Four hundred days for 10,000 hours.
[04:55] ---
There are 365 days in a year.
[04:55] OS
JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH
[04:58] ---
So by removing the extra time
we added earlier to make things neat,
[04:58] OS
APRIL MAY JUNE
[05:00] OS
JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER
[05:01] OS
OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER
[05:02] ---
we can say that 10,000 hours
is approximately one year.
[05:03] OS
RULE OF 10,000 HOURS = APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR
[05:07] ---
I see! I only need to try hard for one year
to become top tier!
[05:11] OS
ONLY ONE YEAR!
[05:11] ---
Piece of cake!
[05:13] ---
I haven't lived a life so idyllic
that I would say such a thing.
[05:19] ---
Humans have to do this thing called
living a life on top of making an effort.
[05:23] ---
Living a life comes before any effort.
[05:26] ---
Effort can be realized
only after living a life.
[05:28] ---
Therefore, there's a time period
where humans cannot make any effort.
[05:32] ---
No matter who it is, they must divert
over half of the day to living their lives.
[05:37] ---
To keep making an effort efficiently
and continuously,
[05:40] ---
no matter how generous an estimate,
[05:43] ---
eight hours with breaks
in-between is the limit.
[05:46] ---
Eight hours.
[05:46] OS
8 HOURS
[05:48] ---
That's one third of the day.
[05:50] ---
Which means we must multiply the formula
by three.
[05:50] OS
10,000 HOURS = 1 YEAR x 3
[05:56] ---
That's three years.
Three years, huh?
[05:59] ---
To be honest, that's long enough
to get moderately fed up.
[06:03] ---
Whether the rule of 10,000 hours
is true or not,
[06:06] ---
I don't have that much time
on my hands.
[06:09] ---
Because, this morning,
my parents finally told me thus.
[06:15] ---
"Stop doing such stupid things forever,
[06:17] OS
SCHOOL / HAVE TO GO / WHY? / REALITY / DREAM?
MONEY / WORRIES ABOUT YOUR FUTURE
JUST A LITTLE BIT / LIVE ON YOUR OWN / BECOME PROPER
THE WORLD ISN'T THAT EASY
WHAT WILL YOU DO? / 15YO / THAT'S MEANING LESS
HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT
YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER ARE
[06:18] ---
and go work once you graduate
from middle school."
[06:20] OS
LABOR
[06:28] ---
I see, I see.
[06:30] ---
Calling their only idiot daughter an idiot...
[06:32] ---
Nadeko Sengoku's doting mommy and daddy,
after spoiling her completely rotten,
[06:37] ---
have finally reluctantly, or rather indulgingly,
taken some action.
[06:41] ---
That's worthy of celebration.
[06:43] ---
Congratulations.
[06:46] ---
To give a simple explanation, Ononoki...
[06:50] ---
Yotsugi Ononoki is currently on an undercover
mission in the Araragi household.
[06:55] ---
I became involved in that assignment,
and I ended up helping her out a bit.
[07:00] ---
And ever since, she's been coming by
to my room all the time.
[07:05] ---
She comes four times a week.
It's ruining my feeling of being a shut-in.
[07:09] ---
However, she's not troubling me.
She is, in fact, helping me out.
[07:13] ---
As you can see, she's offering to be
a model for my rough sketches.
[07:18] ---
It's not like they called me an idiot.
[07:21] ---
They just said what I'm doing is idiotic.
[07:25] ---
Well, seriously speaking, I believe
you really need to think that bit out.
[07:31] ---
I don't think all of your efforts
are useless.
[07:34] ---
Furthermore, I don't think
what your idiotic self does is idiotic.
[07:38] ---
But as a practical problem,
effort requires payment.
[07:39] OS
EFFORT
[07:41] OS
EFFORT RECEIPT
MAY 10TH
FOOD COSTS
WATER, HEAT, LIGHTING
ART SUPPLIES
[07:42] ---
It's something you do
by paying sacrifices or compensation.
[07:47] ---
Thus, using graduation from middle school,
which is compulsory education, as a standard base
[07:52] ---
is only respectable as parents.
[07:56] ---
Moreover, not kicking you out
to become independent
[07:59] ---
can be said that your parents
are still enabling you.
[08:01] ---
You're naïve.
[08:02] OS
LOSE
[08:06] ---
I am very dubious
about the rule of 10,000 hours.
[08:11] ---
Those who are capable can just
get things done really easily.
[08:15] ---
What I can do right now is to show some sort
of result before graduating middle school
[08:20] ---
so I can use that to convince
Father and Mother.
[08:25] ---
Whether it be winning an award,
or whatever.
[08:27] ---
Oh, brother.
[08:28] ---
A declaration to enter the prize race.
How ironic.
[08:33] ---
You gave Hitagi Senjyogahara a time limit
of "until high school graduation,"
[08:39] ---
yet now you see yourself
caught with a similar time limit.
[08:43] ---
Yes. I'm reaping what I've sown.
[08:46] ---
Laugh if you want.
I should be making my atonement.
[08:51] ---
If you insist on asking, there is a way
to easily show some results.
[08:56] ---
Huh?
[08:57] ---
Nadeko Sengoku.
[08:58] ---
From what I've been hearing, your concern
is that you don't have time, right?
[09:03] ---
Y-Yeah, that's right. So?
[09:07] ---
So there is a way.
[09:08] ---
Basically, you just need to debut
while you're still in middle school, right?
[09:13] ---
Well, yeah.
[09:15] ---
There are two ways.
[09:17] ---
Two? That many?
[09:19] ---
I can't wholeheartedly
recommend one of them.
[09:22] ---
Tell me, Ononoki.
[09:24] OS
PLAN ONE
[09:25] ---
One is to submit your next completed manuscript
and affix your headshot photo on it.

[09:47] ---
is sure to make your work shine
more brilliantly than it actually can.
[09:49] OS
YOUR ORIGIN STORY MADE ME CRY. I'M SUPPORTING YOU.
I DON'T GO TO SCHOOL EITHER, SO IT RESONATED WITH ME!
TOO CUTE!
[09:51] ---
You think I would do that?
[09:53] ---
Right. Then I will call this plan off,
and present you with the second one.
[10:00] ---
Nadeko Sengoku.
[10:01] ---
The second way is the one
that I don't recommend.
[10:05] OS
PLAN TWO
[10:07] ---
I personally think that
you shouldn't do this.
[10:11] ---
But this is the only way left for us.
[10:14] ---
Huh? This is the only way?
[10:18] ---
You need to put in 10,000 hours of effort
in the one year you have left.
[10:23] ---
N-No, no, no, no!
[10:24] OS
NO SLEEP NO REST
[10:25] ---
Impossible! Impossible!
Impossible! Impossible!
[10:27] ---
Right, about that.
[10:30] ---
The biggest pitfall
of the 10,000 hours rule is right there.
[10:34] ---
Defining the amount of practice to be
the ticket to making dreams come true
[10:38] ---
completely ignores the percentage
of those who can become disabled.
[10:41] ---
To exert too much effort
is not necessarily sensible.
[10:46] ---
What you need to think about
is the quality of the effort made.
[10:49] ---
Then what should I do?
[10:52] ---
If I'm trying to do something
that takes three years in one year,
[10:55] ---
I need to put in three times as much effort
even if the quality goes down a bit.
[11:03] ---
I'm not saying
you need to triple your effort.
[11:07] ---
You just need to triple in number.
[11:13] OS
YOU JUST NEED TO TRIPLE IN NUMBER
[11:15] OS
YOUR NUMBER
[11:16] ---
So, if there are a total
of three people including you...
[11:20] ---
No, that would be a bit unreliable.
[11:23] ---
Then, a total of five people.
[11:25] ---
That way, you can create a rotation
where you can get things going smoothly.
[11:29] ---
I mean, the job of manga artist is basically
collaborative work with assistants.
[11:34] ---
More than an individual,
you're a member of an organization.
[11:37] ---
You work as one member of a group.
[11:40] ---
R-Right. What's important is teamwork.
[11:45] ---
That's why they say you have to have
high communication skills to get things done.
[11:49] ---
In other words, it's iffy if you're able
to become an assistant, let alone a team leader.
[11:55] OS
IMPOSSIBLE
[11:57] ---
No matter how introverted you are,
even as you are now,
[12:00] ---
if you're dealing with yourself, you can
communicate as much as you want, right?
[12:04] ---
So you just need to prepare
four copies of yourself as assistants.
[12:09] ---
I'm a little hesitant to say this,
but this is part of my specialty.
[12:14] ---
Did I tell you?
[12:16] ---
I'm a doll apparition, but at the same time,
I'm a shikigami of an onmyouji.
[12:20] ---
Shikigami...
[12:20] OS
SHIKIGAMI
[12:22] ---
It's rather cheeky to use -gami (god)
in front of you, who used to be a god.
[12:26] ---
So you can call it a "familiar" instead.
[12:29] ---
Putting it frankly, it's like a faithful servant
that works for the sake of its master.
[12:35] ---
In my case, my master, Big Sister, can't walk
on the ground, so I work as her legs.
[12:42] ---
It's my job to move around
with a light footwork.
[12:48] ---
If I have a chance,
I'll introduce you to her.
[12:50] ---
I'm sure Big Sister will give you
a big lecture right when she meets you.
[12:55] ---
But I don't want to be lectured
right when I meet someone.
[12:58] ---
In any case,
something like me for Big Sister...
[12:59] OS
BIG SISTER
[13:02] ---
You just need to create a shikigami
that will be your agent.
[13:05] ---
That's what I'm suggesting.
[13:08] ---
Even if it's impossible alone,
if all five of you work together,
[13:11] ---
don't you think both
your efforts and their results
[13:13] ---
will somehow make things happen
in under a year?
[13:13] OS
28TH YOSHI YOSHI ROOKIE AWARD

NAOETSU BUS STOP
[13:35] ---
Hey, do you remember?
[13:38] ---
When I first visited this room.
[13:41] ---
You know how I had you draw
the picture of a slug back then, right?
[13:45] ---
In order to fool Tsukihi Araragi's eyes,
I took the Slug Tofu still remaining inside you
[13:50] ---
and made good use of it
ingeniously with professional skill.
[13:53] ---
But the Slug Tofu that you drew
was beyond my expectations
[13:57] ---
and materialized in three dimensions
as a powerful apparition.
[14:03] ---
Yeah, you mentioned
something like that.
[14:06] ---
Of course, that was proof of just
how dangerous Tsukihi Araragi was.
[14:11] ---
But I think it was also proof
of your drawing skills.
[14:14] ---
I guess you can call it latent talent.
[14:17] ---
The fact that I'm visiting you often like this
[14:21] ---
and assisting as your model
[14:24] ---
is not only repaying you
for listening to my gripes,
[14:27] ---
but even more so than that,
[14:29] ---
I'm picking up on your brilliant talent.
[14:32] ---
Brilliant talent?
[14:33] ---
For a monstrosity with no guise,
visualization is quite an important factor.
[14:40] ---
Take for example how novels
are difficult to approach at first.
[14:45] ---
But if there's an illustration of a character
on the cover, it's easier to get an image, right?
[14:49] ---
And so, I would like to test
your brilliant talent right now.
[14:52] OS
BRILLIANT TALENT
[14:53] ---
Just how much energy resides in your art skill,
your drawings, your illustrations...
[15:00] ---
If your self-portrait is one that
is worthy of becoming a shikigami,
[15:04] ---
I will introduce you
to Ms. Gaen at that point in time.
[15:09] ---
So isn't this Ms. Gaen person a very
important factor of why I became a deity?
[15:16] ---
I don't mean to put blame on her,
[15:19] ---
but to be honest, I don't want
anything to do with her anymore.
[15:23] ---
That's all the more reason.
[15:25] ---
Repaying a favor is not just a front.
[15:28] ---
Because unlike Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
Heart-under-blade,
[15:33] ---
you are not acknowledged
to be harmless yet, Nadeko Sengoku.
[15:37] OS
ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE HARMLESS
[15:38] ---
Right now, how they're going to deal with you
is simply in limbo.
[15:42] ---
Depending on who the specialist is,
[15:44] ---
it wouldn't be strange
if you got defeated after all this time.
[15:48] ---
And so, if you present your brilliant talent
far surpassing others to Ms. Gaen,
[15:51] OS
BRILLIANT TALENT
[15:53] ---
and if you can show her that you're useful
in case of an emergency,
[15:56] OS
USEFUL
[15:57] ---
you can end up nestling under
the care of the boss,
[16:00] ---
who you can call
a monster of connections.
[16:06] ---
All right, then I'll try it out.
[16:09] OS
MYSELF MYSELF
[16:09] ---
I just need to draw
four copies of myself?
[16:10] OS
MYSELF MYSELF MYSELF MYSELF
[16:12] ---
Right. But just in case, can you change
the design for each of them?
[16:16] OS
A LOT OF A LITTLE MAKES YAMATO NADE-FOUR-KO!
[16:16] ---
It would be a problem if we couldn't tell
which Nadeko Sengoku was which.
[16:17] OS
I'M NADEKO.
[16:18] OS
I'M NADEKO~
[16:19] OS
I'M NADEKO!
[16:21] OS
I'M NADEKO♡
[16:22] ---
And it'd be a big deal if we couldn't figure out which
of the five Nadeko Sengokus was the real one.
[16:28] ---
Not just a big deal. It would be
the brink of my identity collapsing.
[16:33] ---
On a serious note...

NADEKO SENGOKU
[16:34] ---
There are stories about
an onmyouji being overtaken
[16:37] ---
by a shikigami which
was supposed to be their agent.
[16:41] ---
So even if they're all
the same Nadeko Sengoku,
[16:41] OS
NADE CHARACTERISTIC / NO CHARACTERISTIC
REJECTED CHARACTERISTIC / SUPER CHARACTERISTIC
[16:43] OS
can you give each one of them
separate characteristics?
[16:46] ---
Then I guess I'll draw them
so we can tell them apart with their hairdos.
[16:51] ---
I got an idea.
[16:52] ---
If it's my past selves,
it'll be easy to draw them.
[16:56] ---
Oh, bangs mode.
[16:58] ---
This is one that I've never seen.
[17:00] ---
Yup, that's right.
[17:02] ---
I think this version of myself
was called "bangs girl."
[17:07] ---
You grew your bangs
to hide your face from being seen.
[17:11] ---
This was the shy and meekest
Nadeko Sengoku.
[17:14] OS
MEEK NADEKO
[17:15] ---
Then we should call her Meek Nadeko.
[17:18] ---
I haven't met her, either.
[17:20] ---
She lifts up her bangs with a headband,
showing her forehead.
[17:24] ---
You had a phase like this?
[17:26] ---
Oh, I get it.
[17:28] ---
This is the Nadeko Sengoku that was
aggressively approaching a certain someone.
[17:32] OS
FLIRTY NADEKO
[17:32] ---
Let's call her Flirty Nadeko.
[17:34] ---
Oh, I remember seeing this one.
[17:37] ---
This is the Nadeko Sengoku when Tsukihi Araragi
chopped off your favorite bangs, right?
[17:42] OS
A COMPLETELY UNWILLING CUTTING OF BANGS
BY A FRIEND ￥0 (TAX INCL.)
[17:43] ---
Yeah.
[17:44] ---
This was your hairstyle when you
went off in the classroom, right?
[17:48] ---
And that's the reason
you don't want to go to school now.
[17:52] ---
You snapped like someone touched upon
your wrath, and made an angry speech, I hear.
[17:57] ---
Then this Nadeko with short bangs
will be Wrath Nadeko.
[17:59] OS
WRATH NADEKO
[18:02] ---
And if we've gone this far,
[18:03] ---
I don't even need to ask
what the fourth Nadeko's hairstyle will be.
[18:07] ---
Yup. There's only one.
[18:11] ---
Let's call her God Nadeko.
[18:11] OS
GOD NADEKO
[18:14] ---
Now, Current Nadeko.
[18:15] OS
CURRENT NADEKO
[18:16] ---
Can you take those four
and clean up the sketches?
[18:20] ---
Please take your time, and draw them
as carefully as possible.
[18:24] ---
Put your heart and soul into it.
[18:28] ---
With this, in my next year,
my course of action
[18:32] ---
and my future
may be determined for me.
[18:36] ---
If I think of it that way,
I can't help but get fired up!
[18:40] ---
I'm gonna draw! Here we go!
[18:44] ---
And so, you drew them all
with a, "Here we go!"
[18:47] ---
You let the pen run along the paper.
[18:50] ---
How foolish.
[18:52] ---
Your four selves ran away, huh?
[18:56] ---
Which means, the experiment itself
was a success.
[19:00] ---
For Yotsugi, it must have been a surprise
that all four proved to be successes.
[19:06] ---
Yeah, she said that afterwards.
[19:09] ---
Speaking of Ononoki, she went off
in a different direction to find my four selves.
[19:15] ---
My four selves. I can't leave
the four Nadekos out in the wild.
[19:21] ---
When you say "Nadekos" it reminds me
how you referred to yourself in third person.
[19:21] OS
ME
ME
NADEKO
[19:26] ---
You wouldn't know about that
if this is our first time meeting.
[19:30] ---
Whoops, that was an accident.
Forget I said that.
[19:34] ---
No, wait. The only thing my powerless self
can do is to show you the way.
[19:37] OS
UNIFORM
DRESS
YUKATA / CAMISOLE
[19:38] ---
I'm sure it's my meager role in this story
to pursue the Nadeko in a school uniform
[19:43] ---
that I happened to come across earlier.
[19:45] ---
But Sengoku...
[19:47] ---
Why did your four selves disappear?
[19:52] ---
Did Yotsugi have some kind of oversight?
[19:55] ---
I was a bit careless.
[19:58] ---
"Making an effort to become a manga artist"
is the stance for my current self.
[20:03] ---
So even if I summoned
my past selves as shikigami,
[20:07] ---
there's no way they'd help me out.
[20:09] OS
MYSELF MYSELF MYSELF MYSELF
[20:10] ---
I shouldn't have even wished
for cooperation.
[20:14] ---
There was incredible carnage
[20:15] ---
in the once peaceful location
where I decided to be a shut-in.
[20:20] ---
I tried to somehow calm all of them down,
but I became the most hated of my selves.
[20:26] ---
The four Nadekos
[20:26] OS
I DON'T WANNA WORK.
[20:27] ---
didn't even assist me with my manuscripts,
let alone draw any frame lines.
[20:27] OS
I DON'T WANNA WORK
[20:29] OS
I DON'T WANNA WORK
[20:30] OS
I DON'T WANNA WORK
[20:31] ---
They all ran away,
as if they were dissipating.
[20:34] ---
I'm the best in Japan
when it comes to running away.
[20:36] ---
By the way, one Nadeko
ran away from the window.
[20:42] ---
I'm scared.
[20:43] ---
But I can't just simply be scared.
[20:46] ---
Right now, I must collect my four selves,
including God Nadeko, as soon as possible.
[20:50] ---
If I leave them alone,
the entire town will fall into a panic!
[20:53] ---
Oh no, I don't think
things would get that bad, I think?
[20:57] ---
We just have four people who look like you
running all over the place, right?
[21:01] ---
If a girl who has 100,000 snake
on her head was walking around town,
[21:05] ---
everyone would be
taking pictures of her!
[21:08] ---
Well, she is a god after all,
even if imperfect.
[21:11] ---
I'm sure she has a divine trait
to hide herself from ordinary people.
[21:16] ---
Perhaps you should probably be worried
about the other three instead.
[21:21] ---
Because if those three act problematically
before they are captured,
[21:23] OS
METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT
[21:25] ---
all their problems
will fall upon you, Current Nadeko.
[21:30] ---
That's right. You never know
what my past selves would do!
[21:30] OS
WHAT A FORMIDABLE CHILD!
[21:35] ---
Okay, here we are.
[21:40] ---
Before I almost collided into you,
[21:44] ---
this is indeed the location where
I witnessed Sengoku in a school uniform.
[21:51] ---
The location where
Mr. Ougi had witnessed me.
[21:52] OS
IN A SCHOOL UNIFORM
[21:52] OS
MEEK NADEKO
[21:54] ---
It was a location
that I was very familiar with.
[21:59] ---
It was in front of the school gate
for a public school, 701 Middle School.
[22:05] ---
UNHAPPY?
A troubled human child
[22:07] ---
UNLUCKY?
For the inhumane
[22:08] ---
BE HAPPY!
Aim timelessly
[22:10] ---
Because you're alive
[22:12] ---
A past that you looked away from too
[22:13] ---
A boring future too
[22:15] ---
Counseling
[22:16] ---
Oh man
[22:17] ---
All the times and places
Peace, peace
[22:18] ---
UNHAPPY?
[22:20] ---
UNLUCKY?
[22:22] ---
BE HAPPY!
[22:23] ---
UNDEAD
[22:31] ---
Hey, why
[22:33] ---
Do I somehow feel like I'm fighting?
[22:35] ---
I can't touch and don't want to touch
[22:37] ---
Myself, myself, myself,
and myself from the past
[22:38] ---
I've been dead for a long time now
[22:40] ---
I fight with a transparent ghost
[22:42] ---
Deep in a childish and painful memory
[22:45] ---
Disappointed? It's gone
[22:47] ---
Oh? You like that better? That's ironic
[22:50] ---
Am I, as I am now, what's transparent?
[22:52] ---
Nonsense
A label that doesn't disappear
[22:53] ---
Yes! It's basically a complex
[22:55] ---
You seem to be possessed
[22:57] ---
That's wrapped up and
[22:59] ---
Won't leave
The old me
[23:04] ---
UNDEAD
[23:04] ---
I'm not dead yet
[23:06] ---
A chain of you and you
[23:08] ---
To be alive is to keep changing
[23:11] ---
Don't be satisfied
With unhappiness
[23:15] ---
You're a coward if you don't try to be happy
[23:19] ---
This world and this world are
A strange, strange fantasy
[23:22] ---
Will a demon appear next or will a snake?
[23:25] ---
The story finally begins after meeting
[23:28] ---
Is it a human or monster?
[23:30] ---
Returning to the subject at hand
Peace, peace
