    I have a friend who's never at a loss

    This is but a humble account

    Good morning, Oto-san!
[03:26] Oto
    Uname-sensei, I'm sorry to make
    you look after me like this again.
[03:30] Uname
    It's perfectly all right! It's summer

    We can't, because of the way

[07:15] (Flashback) Adashino
    So you'll go first,
    and I'll be right after you.
[07:26] (Flashback) Oto
    Is it okay if I sleep over

    Who are you?
[07:52] Cat Sovereign
    Are you the little sister, meow?
[07:54] Oto
    What do you want?
[07:55] Cat Sovereign
    They say you're Mysterious
    Disappearances' little sister.
[07:59] Cat Sovereign
    Is that true?
[08:00] Oto
    What?
[08:01] Cat Sovereign
    Did you really believe that?
[08:08] Oto
    You're the one getting in
    Ren-nii's way, aren't you?
[08:11] Oto
    Hiss!
[08:15] Cat Sovereign
    Maybe I'll have you die
    along with your Ren-nii.
[08:19] Adashino
    Stop it.
[08:20] Cat Sovereign
    Huh?
[08:22] Adashino
    You have no business with Oto.
    Don't you lay a finger on her.
[08:26] Cat Sovereign
    I told you, didn't I? I can't have you
    going around getting rid of Curiosities.
[08:32] Adashino
    Then there's no problem.
    Oto and I will both be gone soon.
[08:36] Adashino
    I won't get in your way anymore.
[08:39] Cat Sovereign
    Are you being serious?
[08:40] Adashino
    I am.
[08:43] Sumireko
    That blasted kid!
[08:45] Sumireko
    What happened to that promise
    to read my new novel?
[08:49] Cat Sovereign
    Then does that mean you'll
    never appear before me again?
[08:53] Adashino
    That's what it means.
SIGN    KISARAGI
[08:57] Cat Sovereign
    If that's true, then it's very good news!

    But how are you going to prove it to me?
[09:03] Adashino
    We're taking this evening's train.
[09:06] Adashino
    And then we'll be gone.
[09:08] Adashino
    You'll be able to sense that, won't you?
[09:12] Cat Sovereign
    I see.
[09:13] Cat Sovereign
    Then I'll hold off on
    killing you here and now.
[09:17] Cat Sovereign
    In exchange, you'd better
    not be lying to me.
[09:19] Adashino
    If I'm lying, it's only about one thing.
[09:21] Cat Sovereign
    Meow?
[09:23] Adashino
    In any case, I won't be here anymore
    after today. That is the truth.

    I've lived the last ten years believing
    I was really your little sister.
[11:11] Adashino
    Yeah.
[11:12] Oto
    But earlier, I remembered.
[11:15] Oto
    Something had appeared before me,
[11:17] Oto
    and I was certain that my big brother
    had caught up to me,
[11:21] Oto
    so I called out, "Ren-nii!"
[11:23] Oto
    But I was wrong.
[11:25] Adashino
    Really?
[11:26] Oto
    Back then, I called you Ren-nii...
[11:30] Oto
    so you turned into a Curiosity
    called Adashino Ren, didn't you?
[11:35] Adashino
    That might be true.
[11:38] Oto
    And that's why I can place a curse on you.
[11:43] Adashino
    What do you mean?
[11:45] Oto
    If you can't be there to see me living
    happily, you won't be able to bear it.
[11:53] Oto
    That's why we have to see each other again.
[11:57] Oto
    That's the curse.
[11:59] Adashino
    Of course. And we'll be seeing
    each other again very soon.
[12:03] Oto

[13:05] Old Man
    What's all this?
[13:09] Old Man
    You don't see many Bearers of Youth around.
    Are you the one Adashino-kun talked about?
[13:14] Sumireko
    Huh?
[13:19] Old Man
    Apparently, Adashino-kun's one regret is
    that he never got to take a bath with you.
[13:25] Sumireko
    Old man, how do you know about...
[13:27] Old Man
    The train's already left the station.
[13:30] Old Man
    But the little sister
    was the only one on board.
[13:33] Sumireko
    What? Then where's Adashino-kun?
[13:35] Old Man
    Did you know that Adashino-kun and
    his little sister weren't actually siblings?
[13:41] Sumireko
    No. But what does that mean?
[13:45] Old Man
    He finally confessed everything to me.
[13:48] Old Man
    He said that Oto's brother,
    the real Ren-nii, is over there.
[13:53] Sumireko
    The "real Ren-nii"?
[13:57] Old Man
    Do you want to know my name?

    This Mysterious Disappearances...

    that he'd promised to.
[19:31] Honhime
    In short, he's deliberately giving
