*If Nadeko Sengoku's life was a manga series
that's currently running,*

NADEKO SENGOKU'S STORY

SERIES ENTERING ITS 15TH YEAR!!
**[00:08] ---**
*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.*
**[00:18] OS**
LOVE...
LOVE
LOVE!
HATE!!
**[00:22] OS**
NEXT EPISODE IS THE FINAL EPISODE!
**[00:22] ---**
*Perhaps being a true fan means loving the series
even though such inconsistencies are there.*
**[00:24] OS**
I AM...
**[00:26] OS**
HUH!?
I AM
**[00:27] OS**
TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT ISSUE
**[00:28] ---**
*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.*
**[00:42] OS**
BIG BROTHER
**[00:43] OS**
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.*

*It keeps getting rejected
during the planning phase.*

*Myself from that one time,
myself from back then...*

*Myself from that era,

STOP
**[01:51] ---**
Look out!
**[01:55] ---**
Wait... Nope!
**[02:07] ---**
Are you hurt anywhere?
**[02:11] ---**
*My oh my, this is Ms. Ougi Oshino.*
**[02:14] ---**
I'm fine!
**[02:18] OS**
HMM?
**[02:19] OS**
HUH?
**[02:20] OS**
WHAT, WHAT?
**[02:21] OS**
A BOY'S UNIFORM?
**[02:23] ---**
Hello there, Sengoku.
**[02:24] ---**
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.*
**[02:57] OS**
OUGI OSHINO
**[02:58] ---**
*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."
**[03:15] ---**
Feel free to call me
"Big Brother Ougi" out of familiarity.
**[03:16] OS**

Huh?
**[03:24] ---**
But you used to call you-know-who-senpai
like that, right?
**[03:33] ---**
Sorry, I flubbed.
**[03:35] ---**
Just kidding.

Huh? Yeah, it's fine.
**[03:52] ---**
If you're heading to school,
I'll take you there.
**[03:55] ---**
I'm not heading to school,
so I'll pass.
**[03:59] ---**
See you.
**[04:02] ---**
I see.

I totally assumed
you were going to school.

Whoa, what is it?
Why'd you suddenly raise your voice?

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,*

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

EFFORT RECEIPT

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.

ISOLATED IN SCHOOL DURING SECOND YEAR.

AND STOPPED GOING TO SCHOOL
**[09:44] ---**

ALL ALONE IN THE BACK OF THE WOODS
**[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
NADEKO SENGOKU (15)
CONFIRMED TO DEBUT WITH A SERIES!
**[13:18] ---**
Now, you will draw four self-portraits
in this sketchbook.
**[13:23] ---**
Draw four copies of Nadeko Sengoku.
**[13:27] ---**
I will make them three-dimensional.
**[13:30] OS**
I WILL MATERIALIZE THEM
**[13:30] ---**
I will materialize them,
**[13:31] OS**
AND TURN THEM INTO FOUR SHIKIGAMI
**[13:31] ---**
and turn them into four shikigami.
**[13:34] OS**
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...
**[16:34] OS**
NADEMONOGATARI
SHIKIGAMI
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*
