**[00:06] Araragi**
I'll just tell you how it ended up.
**[00:10] Araragi**
I wasn't able to take all the poison
**[00:12] Araragi**
from the wreathe-fire bee.
***SIGN*** Stay with Karen, and don't cause any trouble today. —Koyomi
**[00:18] Araragi**
But even so, Karen's fever went down a little.
***SIGN*** Black Scene
**[00:40] Araragi**
Hey, Hachikuji.
**[00:43] Araragi**
U-Um...
**[00:45] Araragi**
Hachikuji?
**[00:47] Hachikuji**
Is that you, Araragi-san?
**[00:49] Araragi**
Come on, screw up my name!
**[00:50] Hachikuji**
Araragi-san, if you're greeting
me like a normal person,
**[00:53] Hachikuji**
that means you've gotten boring.
**[00:57] Hachikuji**
Did something happen?
**[00:58] Araragi**
Harsh!
**[01:00] Araragi**
Hey, you didn't like it, anyway!
**[01:03] Hachikuji**
That was just me acting,
so you'd do it more.
**[01:05] Hachikuji**
You didn't really think "no"
means "no", did you?
**[01:08] Hachikuji**
Jeez.
***SIGN*** Don't push. Danger.
**[01:09] Hachikuji**
You ruined the opportunity I gave you!
**[01:11] Araragi**
Your "acting" is harsh!
**[01:13] Hachikuji**
You screwed it up right at the start.
**[01:15] Hachikuji**
Now the whole joke's wasted.
**[01:17] Araragi**
It's really that bad?!
**[01:20] Araragi**
Hey, Hachikuji.
**[01:21] Araragi**
Wait...
**[01:22] Hachikuji**
I don't know you.
**[01:23] Hachikuji**
My friend Araragi-san is dead.
**[01:26] Hachikuji**
Remove the sexual harassment from Araragi-san,
**[01:28] Hachikuji**
and there's nothing left but a flea.
**[01:31] Araragi**
No part of me was a flea to begin with!
***SIGN*** Sexual Harassment Flea
**[01:35] Hachikuji**
I don't even want to see your face.
**[01:37] Hachikuji**
Disappear.
**[01:37] Araragi**
Don't say that!
**[01:39] Araragi**
Senjougahara's said that
to me a hundred times,
**[01:41] Araragi**
but when you say it,
I really do want to disappear.
**[01:44] Araragi**
So don't say that...
**[01:46] Hachikuji**
Huh?
**[01:46] Hachikuji**
I told you to disappear.
Why are you still here?
**[01:49] Hachikuji**
You can't even do that?
***SIGN*** Danger Ahead!
**[01:52] Araragi**
I want to restart from a save point!
**[01:56] Hachikuji**
So what happened?
**[01:58] Hachikuji**
You seem pretty serious,
compared to yesterday.
**[02:01] Araragi**
Serious, huh?
**[02:03] Araragi**
Yeah, maybe.
**[02:04] Araragi**
A lot of stuff's happened.
**[02:07] Hachikuji**
Well, I won't ask for details.
**[02:09] Hachikuji**
But, Araragi-san,
**[02:10] Hachikuji**
you're looking disturbingly pale...
**[02:14] Araragi**
Am I?
**[02:15] Hachikuji**
You don't seem well.
***SIGN*** I took half of Karen's illness, but that shouldn't result in any physical effects.
***SIGN*** Wait, maybe Hachikuji can tell?
**[02:22] Araragi**
It was something called a wreathe-fire bee.
**[02:25] Araragi**
It's a totally different type
**[02:27] Araragi**
than your snail, I think.
**[02:30] Araragi**
But it's a problem anyway.
**[02:32] Hachikuji**
I see.
**[02:34] Hachikuji**
That is a problem...
**[02:35] Hachikuji**
But I'm sure you'll be fine, Araragi-san.
**[02:39] Hachikuji**
You always have been, right?
**[02:43] Araragi**
I hope so...
**[02:45] Araragi**
A lot of stuff is going wrong.
**[02:49] Araragi**
For one thing, my sisters are idiots.
**[02:51] Hachikuji**
More idiotic than you?
**[02:53] Araragi**
Don't call me an idiot!
**[02:56] Araragi**
What they're saying is right,
**[02:58] Araragi**
and I'd like to respect that...
**[03:01] Araragi**
But they're too rash.
**[03:03] Araragi**
What they want to do is right, but they
aren't doing it right, right away.
**[03:06] Araragi**
That's how it feels.
**[03:09] Hachikuji**
Isn't that what you're always being told?
**[03:13] Hachikuji**
And if you weren't like that,
**[03:16] Hachikuji**
I wouldn't be able to take
a nice walk around here.
**[03:19] Hachikuji**
So doesn't that mean that
**[03:23] Hachikuji**
they've saved a lot of people?
**[03:27] Araragi**
Still, I guess they're just kids.
**[03:30] Araragi**
They don't listen to a word anyone says.
**[03:33] Araragi**
I have to do this thing
**[03:34] Araragi**
while they're still sensible
enough to stay home.
**[03:38] Araragi**
Sensible...
**[03:41] Araragi**
Hachikuji, when do you think
you become an adult?
**[03:46] Hachikuji**
Not while you're saying things like that.
**[03:49] Hachikuji**
In Japan, you officially
become an adult at twenty,
**[03:51] Hachikuji**
but it changes, depending on the era.
**[03:53] Hachikuji**
Some people say that once you
start working, you're an adult.
**[03:57] Hachikuji**
But you can be an adult without working.
**[04:00] Araragi**
You can become an adult just by aging, huh?
**[04:03] Araragi**
I guess telling two girls in their
second and third years
**[04:07] Araragi**
of middle school to grow up
is asking too much.
**[04:10] Araragi**
Age-wise, they're kids.
**[04:12] Hachikuji**
That's the point!
**[04:14] Hachikuji**
It's natural for a middle schooler to be a kid.
**[04:17] Hachikuji**
But the fact that
**[04:18] Hachikuji**
they don't realize they're kids is the problem.
**[04:21] Hachikuji**
They may still be better than adults
**[04:24] Hachikuji**
who don't think they're adults.
**[04:25] Araragi**
There's nothing as difficult to deal with
**[04:28] Araragi**
as an adult who thinks they're a kid...
**[04:30] Araragi**
By the way, Hachikuji,
how do you think of yourself?
**[04:34] Hachikuji**
The body of a child and the brains of an adult.
**[04:36] Araragi**
So, you're a detective?!
**[04:39] Araragi**
Then, Hachihachiji...
**[04:41] Araragi**
What were we talking about?
**[04:42] Hachikuji**
Araragi-san, you're missing a temple.
**[04:44] Araragi**
I see.
**[04:45] Araragi**
I didn't realize. Sorry.
**[04:47] Araragi**
Hachishichiji.
**[04:48] Hachikuji**
Are we losing temples each time
you say my name?!
**[04:52] Araragi**
Hachirokuji.
**[04:53] Araragi**
I'm almost to Senjougahara's house.
**[04:55] Araragi**
We should split up here.
**[04:58] Hachikuji**
Oh, right.
**[05:00] Hachikuji**
You're right.
**[05:01] Hachikuji**
She doesn't like me.
**[05:05] Hachikuji**
Farewell, Araragi-san.
**[05:06] Hachikuji**
Be well.
**[05:07] Araragi**
You, too.
**[05:10] Araragi**
*But at the time, I didn't know*
**[05:13] Araragi**
*what would happen to the cheerful young girl*
**[05:16] Araragi**
*named Hachikuji Mayoi.*
**[05:21] Araragi**
*Just kidding.*
**[05:23] Araragi**
*Honestly, I have no idea what will happen.*

**[07:20] Araragi**
Um...
**[07:21] Araragi**
Gahara-san?
**[07:22] Senjougahara**
A question, Araragi-kun...
**[07:24] Senjougahara**
If, by some strange coincidence,
a hundred sharp pencils
**[07:26] Senjougahara**
I was carrying embedded
themselves in a third party,
**[07:31] Senjougahara**
would that be an accidental death?
**[07:32] Araragi**
No, it would be murder!
**[07:33] Araragi**
First-degree murder!
**[07:34] Araragi**
The following day's headlines would
read, "Man Killed by Pencils!"
**[07:38] Senjougahara**
Then I'll sharpen more pencils on
top of those headlines.
**[07:42] Araragi**
Calm down, Senjougahara!
**[07:44] Araragi**
You may think that's a good line,
but it really isn't!
**[07:48] Senjougahara**
Take off your shoes and come in, Araragi-kun.
**[07:53] Senjougahara**
Don't worry. I won't tie you up again.
**[07:57] Araragi**
Thanks...
**[08:00] Araragi**
Well?
**[08:01] Araragi**
If I ask, will you tell me why you're
**[08:04] Araragi**
arming yourself so heavily?
**[08:07] Senjougahara**
I'm going to go and chat with Kaiki.
**[08:09] Senjougahara**
As you've refused my protection,
**[08:12] Senjougahara**
I've no choice but to go on the attack.
**[08:14] Araragi**
Kidnapping and protection
are not the same thing!
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
***SIGN*** Be careful
with fire
**[08:18] Araragi**
By the way, I talked to Hanekawa afterwards.
**[08:21] Senjougahara**
What?
**[08:22] Senjougahara**
Did Hanekawa-sama...
**[08:23] Senjougahara**
I mean, Hanekawa-san say anything about me?
**[08:26] Araragi**
Did you just say "Hanekawa-sama"?
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
***SIGN*** Be careful
with fire
**[08:29] Senjougahara**
I-I did not.
**[08:30] Senjougahara**
There is no bullying occurring at my school.
***SIGN*** Bullying Is A Crime
**[08:32] Araragi**
You're being bullied? You?!
**[08:35] Araragi**
I mean, given the way you act,
**[08:37] Araragi**
I can see you might attract a lot
of Hanekawa's attention.
**[08:40] Araragi**
But don't say you're being bullied...
**[08:42] Araragi**
That's mean.
**[08:43] Senjougahara**
I'm not saying that.
**[08:46] Senjougahara**
I'm polishing her shoes every morning
**[08:49] Senjougahara**
because I enjoy doing so.
**[08:52] Araragi**
Why do you act like that toward her?
**[08:55] Araragi**
Anyway, you're going to see Kaiki, right?
**[08:59] Araragi**
But, Senjougahara, do you know where he is?
**[09:02] Senjougahara**
I have a business card from long ago,
**[09:05] Senjougahara**
one he gave me.
**[09:07] Senjougahara**
It's a miracle I never threw it away.
***SIGN*** Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
**[09:12] Araragi**
Senjougahara, I'm about to say
**[09:15] Araragi**
the worst thing in the world.
***SIGN*** Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
**[09:17] Araragi**
But if you fell for this, isn't it
partially your own fault?
**[09:20] Senjougahara**
That's the trap.
**[09:22] Senjougahara**
You'd never think that anyone
who'd give themselves
**[09:25] Senjougahara**
such a ridiculous title would
actually be a con man.
**[09:28] Araragi**
Is that how it works?
**[09:30] Araragi**
So what, Senjougahara?
**[09:31] Araragi**
You called this number,
and you spoke with him?
**[09:35] Senjougahara**
Yes.
**[09:36] Senjougahara**
He hadn't changed a bit.
**[09:39] Senjougahara**
As gloomy as ever.
**[09:42] Araragi**
Can I go with you?
**[09:47] Araragi**
If you're going to speak with Kaiki,
I want to go...
**[09:53] Senjougahara**
I can still pretend I didn't hear that.
**[09:57] Senjougahara**
Unless you wish to die, take that back.
**[10:01] Araragi**
My sister was one of his victims.
***SIGN*** Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
**[10:04] Araragi**
He set some bizarre monster called
a wreathe-fire bee on her.
**[10:09] Araragi**
She's suffering from a terrible fever.
**[10:11] Araragi**
I've taken half of it upon myself, to neutralize it,
**[10:14] Araragi**
but I don't know what could
happen in the future.
**[10:19] Senjougahara**
You took half of it yourself?
**[10:22] Senjougahara**
Will you be okay?
**[10:25] Araragi**
My vampiric healing ability
is keeping me safe.
**[10:28] Araragi**
It isn't perfect, but...
**[10:30] Senjougahara**
I see.
**[10:31] Senjougahara**
Then there's no turning back for you.
**[10:34] Senjougahara**
But I suppose with your sister involved,
**[10:36] Senjougahara**
that was never really a possibility.
**[10:38] Araragi**
That's not all.
**[10:40] Araragi**
You're involved, too.
**[10:43] Araragi**
Your trying to deal with Kaiki alone,
for my sake, is insane.
**[10:47] Araragi**
Am I wrong?
**[10:50] Senjougahara**
It isn't only for your sake.
**[10:54] Senjougahara**
Kaiki is one of the things
I need to settle for myself.
**[10:59] Senjougahara**
To the point where, had he not returned,
**[11:02] Senjougahara**
I'd have gone looking for him.
**[11:05] Araragi**
Why are you so obsessed?
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
***SIGN*** Be careful
with fire
**[11:08] Araragi**
Wasn't it a little thing?
**[11:11] Senjougahara**
That was me tsundere-ing.
**[11:13] Araragi**
Tsundere-ing?
**[11:15] Araragi**
Do you plan to seek revenge on all
five of the con artists like that?
**[11:19] Araragi**
It's over.
**[11:21] Araragi**
Aren't there other things you should settle?
**[11:25] Senjougahara**
Of course not.
**[11:26] Senjougahara**
Like Oshino-san said, I won't pretend
**[11:30] Senjougahara**
to be their helpless victim.
**[11:33] Senjougahara**
I relied on them, and I was betrayed.
**[11:35] Senjougahara**
My personality isn't such that I still...
**[11:39] Senjougahara**
My personality...
**[11:42] Senjougahara**
My personality isn't the issue here.
**[11:44] Senjougahara**
I won't do that.
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
**[11:46] Araragi**
*You have some personality
problems, don't you?*
**[11:49] Senjougahara**
But Kaiki is a different matter.
**[11:50] Araragi**
Why?
**[11:52] Senjougahara**
He's the one responsible for my
mom and dad's divorce.
**[11:57] Senjougahara**
Naturally, I can't blame the
entire thing on Kaiki,
**[12:00] Senjougahara**
and I don't intend to.
**[12:01] Senjougahara**
But he ruined my family.
**[12:04] Senjougahara**
I can't forgive that.
**[12:06] Senjougahara**
If I forgave it...
**[12:09] Senjougahara**
I wouldn't be myself anymore.
**[12:13] Senjougahara**
I think that
**[12:14] Senjougahara**
even without Kaiki, my mom and
dad would have divorced.
**[12:17] Senjougahara**
I think my family would have been split up.
**[12:21] Senjougahara**
I think it's my fault that my mom left...
**[12:26] Senjougahara**
But, Araragi-kun,
**[12:28] Senjougahara**
does the fact that the result would have
**[12:30] Senjougahara**
been the same forgive the fact
that he caused it?
**[12:34] Senjougahara**
Does the fact that it would have happened,
**[12:36] Senjougahara**
sooner or later, forgive the fact that
he made it happen, out of malice?
***SIGN*** Malice
**[12:39] Araragi**
Malice.
**[12:41] Senjougahara**
Malice is something I have a monopoly on.
**[12:43] Araragi**
I don't know about that.
***SIGN*** Ghost Buster Kaiki Deishuu
**[12:45] Senjougahara**
Kaiki used the crab I met to ruin
**[12:49] Senjougahara**
my family, all for money.
**[12:51] Senjougahara**
Because it made no difference...
**[12:56] Senjougahara**
It's possible that you were a
secondary concern for me,
**[13:01] Senjougahara**
that protecting you was simply an excuse.
**[13:04] Senjougahara**
And that, in the end, I simply hate Kaiki.
**[13:08] Araragi**
An excuse?
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
***SIGN*** Be careful
with fire
**[13:10] Senjougahara**
So I tsundere-ed.
**[13:13] Senjougahara**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[13:15] Senjougahara**
I'm not doing this for your sake, Araragi-kun.
**[13:20] Araragi**
That is
**[13:22] Araragi**
probably not true.
**[13:25] Araragi**
The crab...
**[13:26] Araragi**
The crab that Senjougahara met.
***SIGN*** Stop

**[13:28] Araragi**
This happened when the crab was possessing her.
***SIGN*** In Surgery
**[13:31] Araragi**
She couldn't even hate Kaiki Deishuu when it happened.
***SIGN*** M*m Broken
**[13:37] Araragi**
That was how the crab worked.
***SIGN*** Hand Hand Hand
**[13:41] Araragi**
She should have gotten angry, like a child.
**[13:44] Araragi**
A child who'd lost her mom.
**[13:46] Araragi**
But then, there is
**[13:49] Araragi**
one thing I don't understand.
**[13:52] Araragi**
Kaiki is a con man and a fake, right?
**[13:55] Araragi**
But from what you said,
it sounds like he saw your crab.
**[13:59] Senjougahara**
I don't know.
**[14:00] Senjougahara**
But a fake with more power
than the real thing
**[14:04] Senjougahara**
is more dangerous than the real thing.
**[14:06] Senjougahara**
Of course, at the time,
**[14:08] Senjougahara**
I thought him just another sleazy con artist.
**[14:10] Senjougahara**
But thinking back,
**[14:11] Senjougahara**
he may have deliberately feigned incompetence
**[14:14] Senjougahara**
to draw more money from my father.
**[14:17] Araragi**
He's spending his time taking pocket
change from middle schoolers now.
**[14:21] Araragi**
And he got my sister when
she tried to stop him.
**[14:25] Senjougahara**
I see.
**[14:26] Senjougahara**
Your sister is a hero-man like you.
**[14:28] Araragi**
Stop calling me that!
**[14:31] Senjougahara**
The Fire Sisters of Tsuganoki
2nd Middle School.
**[14:33] Senjougahara**
I'd heard the rumors.
**[14:36] Araragi**
Come to think of it, you did hear about them.
**[14:38] Senjougahara**
Just so we're clear, Araragi-kun,
**[14:40] Senjougahara**
my impression is that
**[14:41] Senjougahara**
"right" is a concept that won't work on him.
**[14:45] Senjougahara**
And "right" is all you have,
**[14:46] Senjougahara**
which makes you strong against hypocrites,
**[14:48] Senjougahara**
but weak against someone who's really evil.
**[14:51] Araragi**
I told you I'm not like that...
**[14:53] Araragi**
However,
**[14:54] Araragi**
I won't sit back and let you become a criminal.
**[14:57] Senjougahara**
I've no intention of committing any crimes.
**[15:00] Senjougahara**
I'm just going to punish him...
**[15:02] Araragi**
In modern society the two are identical.
***SIGN*** One match can start a fire
***SIGN*** Be careful
with fire
**[15:05] Araragi**
Senjougahara, you might not know this,
**[15:09] Araragi**
but I love you.
**[15:11] Araragi**
Even if you do become a criminal,
and end up in jail,
**[15:15] Araragi**
I'd still visit you every day.
**[15:19] Araragi**
But I'd rather be with you all the time.
**[15:22] Araragi**
Sometimes, I don't know
why I'm dating you.
**[15:27] Araragi**
But I love you so much, I don't need a reason.
**[15:32] Araragi**
If you're going, then let's go together.
**[15:34] Araragi**
You can protect me...
**[15:36] Araragi**
I'll protect you.
**[15:38] Senjougahara**
Oh, no.
**[15:39] Senjougahara**
So incredibly cool...
**[15:41] Senjougahara**
If I were a man,
**[15:43] Senjougahara**
I'd be so jealous of your manliness
that I'd kill you.
**[15:46] Araragi**
Terrifying!
***SIGN*** Terrifying
**[15:47] Senjougahara**
I'm glad I'm a woman
**[15:49] Senjougahara**
because I can love you...
**[15:53] Senjougahara**
I understand, Araragi-kun.
**[15:55] Senjougahara**
I'll do as you say.
**[15:57] Araragi**
Then you'll take me to Kaiki?
**[16:00] Senjougahara**
Yes.
**[16:01] Senjougahara**
But in exchange, I do have a request.
**[16:04] Araragi**
A request?
**[16:05] Senjougahara**
If you dislike the presumption implied
by the word "request,"
**[16:09] Senjougahara**
then call it a condition.
**[16:10] Senjougahara**
A condition required before
I'll take you to Kaiki.
**[16:13] Senjougahara**
What will you do?
**[16:14] Araragi**
I'll do it.
**[16:16] Araragi**
I'll do it gladly, no matter what
it is or how many there are.
**[16:19] Hachikuji**
I have just one request, Araragi-kun.
**[16:23] Hachikuji**
By meeting with Kaiki, I intend
to resolve things with myself.
**[16:28] Hachikuji**
Just like my master cut...
**[16:29] Hachikuji**
I mean, Hanekawa-san cut her hair.
**[16:31] Araragi**
That is a remarkable mistake to make.
***SIGN*** My Master
**[16:34] Araragi**
And not anything I can pretend I didn't hear!
**[16:35] Senjougahara**
I am not being threatened.
**[16:36] Araragi**
You're being threatened? By Hanekawa?!
**[16:38] Senjougahara**
No matter where I am,
**[16:40] Senjougahara**
it's natural that I should kneel
before Hanekawa-san.
**[16:43] Araragi**
No matter where you are?
**[16:44] Senjougahara**
Just as Hanekawa-san...
**[16:46] Senjougahara**
As Hanekawa-san cut her hair.
**[16:49] Senjougahara**
Just as doing that let her move forward,
**[16:52] Senjougahara**
I'm going to settle things with
my past by meeting Kaiki.
**[16:57] Senjougahara**
I'm going to move forward.
**[17:01] Araragi**
So, what's your request?
**[17:04] Araragi**
What must I do, for you to take me with you?
**[17:07] Senjougahara**
I can't say yet.
**[17:08] Araragi**
It's something you can't tell me?
**[17:10] Senjougahara**
Once things are settled with Kaiki,
**[17:12] Senjougahara**
no matter what the outcome,
**[17:13] Senjougahara**
I'll tell you then.
**[17:15] Araragi**
Then there's no difference if you say it now.
**[17:17] Senjougahara**
If I said it now, it wouldn't be foreshadowing.
**[17:20] Araragi**
It's foreshadowing?!
**[17:21] Senjougahara**
That's right.
**[17:22] Senjougahara**
After you die, I'll have to spend
**[17:25] Senjougahara**
the rest of my life alone, regretting
that I didn't say anything now.
**[17:28] Araragi**
It's foreshadowing my death?
**[17:30] Senjougahara**
That's right.
**[17:31] Senjougahara**
And in the climactic scene,
**[17:33] Senjougahara**
the telescope you gave me for
**[17:35] Senjougahara**
my birthday features as an important item.
**[17:38] Araragi**
There isn't a scene involving a telescope!
**[17:42] Araragi**
Just tell me what it is...
**[17:43] Araragi**
Screw the foreshadowing!
**[17:44] Senjougahara**
Then let's forget the whole thing.
**[17:48] Araragi**
Fine... I'll do it.
**[17:49] Senjougahara**
All right.
**[17:51] Senjougahara**
Then let's go.
**[17:53] Senjougahara**
Let's protect each other.
***SIGN*** Room 201
**[17:56] Senjougahara**
I promised I'd meet him at 5:00 PM.
**[17:59] Araragi**
Right...
**[18:00] Araragi**
Then I'll be going back to my house.
**[18:02] Senjougahara**
Very well.
**[18:03] Senjougahara**
Then come back in the early evening.
**[18:05] Araragi**
Yeah.
**[18:06] Araragi**
Don't do anything on your own, okay?
**[18:08] Senjougahara**
Of course not.
**[18:09] Senjougahara**
Have I ever lied?
**[18:13] Senjougahara**
Don't worry.
**[18:15] Senjougahara**
This time, it's to get you
to hear my request.
**[18:19] Senjougahara**
I might lie, but I'll keep my promise.
**[18:22] Araragi**
All right...
**[18:24] Araragi**
Well, then that's okay.
**[18:26] Senjougahara**
Yes.
**[18:27] Senjougahara**
This is a trade.
**[18:28] Senjougahara**
And...
**[18:30] Senjougahara**
Even I'm starting to get a little tired.
**[18:33] Senjougahara**
You've been up all night,
**[18:35] Senjougahara**
even if you were unconscious for a while.
**[18:37] Senjougahara**
Kaiki isn't someone you can
deal with on no sleep.
**[18:42] Araragi**
Well, I think I deal with no
sleep better than most.
**[18:46] Araragi**
As a former vampire.
**[18:47] Senjougahara**
But rest up anyway.
**[18:50] Senjougahara**
You might not be able to sleep tonight.
**[19:00] Tsukihi**
Onii-chan?
**[19:01] Araragi**
Oh, you're up?
**[19:03] Araragi**
Good morning.
**[19:04] Tsukihi**
Karen-chan is gone!
**[19:07] Tsukihi**
When I got up...
**[19:09] Tsukihi**
She wasn't there...
**[19:12] Tsukihi**
And she can't be fully healed yet!
**[19:14] Araragi**
Calm down, Tsukihi-chan!
**[19:17] Senjougahara**
Her shoes are gone,
**[19:18] Senjougahara**
and it looks like she changed her clothes...
**[19:20] Araragi**
Calm down.
**[19:21] Araragi**
Do you have any idea where she'd go?
**[19:22] Araragi**
Anywhere she'd be likely to go?
**[19:25] Tsukihi**
None...
**[19:26] Tsukihi**
I think she'd go to that Kaiki guy's place.
**[19:29] Tsukihi**
But I don't know where he is...
**[19:34] Araragi**
Does that mean Karen-chan does?
**[19:37] Tsukihi**
She shouldn't.
**[19:38] Tsukihi**
She let him go once.
**[19:42] Araragi**
I'll look for her.
**[19:44] Araragi**
You wait at home.
**[19:46] Tsukihi**
But I want to go, too.
**[19:48] Araragi**
If you find her, there's a risk she'll
persuade you to go with her.
**[19:53] Tsukihi**
You really don't trust me, do you?
**[19:55] Araragi**
I don't.
**[19:57] Araragi**
But I do worry.
**[20:01] Araragi**
But more than that, I'm mad!
**[20:09] Araragi**
*Think.*
**[20:11] Araragi**
*If I were Karen, what would I do?*
**[20:13] Araragi**
*First, I'd want to get away from the house.*
***SIGN*** No Cars Please
**[20:15] Araragi**
*Because if I found her, I'd take her back.*
**[20:17] Araragi**
*That much is certain.*
**[20:19] Araragi**
*The problem is, what then?*
**[20:22] Araragi**
*What then? What then? What then?*
***SIGN*** Black Scene
**[20:24] Shinobu**
Be quiet...
**[20:26] Shinobu**
You're being too loud for me to sleep.
**[20:29] Shinobu**
When you panic,
**[20:31] Shinobu**
that panic is transmitted directly to me.
**[20:36] Araragi**
Shinobu,
**[20:37] Araragi**
do you know what's going on?
**[20:38] Shinobu**
Basically.
**[20:40] Shinobu**
Your sister's almost as reckless as you are...
**[20:47] Shinobu**
Come to think of it,
**[20:49] Shinobu**
you once searched for me when I was lost.
**[20:52] Shinobu**
I remember those days.
**[20:55] Araragi**
Can I ask if you're going to help me?
**[20:57] Shinobu**
Ha ha.
**[20:58] Shinobu**
Unfortunately,
**[21:00] Shinobu**
I'm not in a position to refuse
any request you make.
**[21:04] Shinobu**
The question of which of us is the master
**[21:06] Shinobu**
is a complicated one,
**[21:08] Shinobu**
but you're certainly the stronger.
**[21:10] Shinobu**
I've told you a bunch of times that
**[21:11] Shinobu**
the bonds of a vampire are
bonds of the soul, right?
**[21:14] Shinobu**
Thus,
**[21:16] Shinobu**
for any order you give me,
**[21:18] Shinobu**
no matter how much I may
want to refuse, I cannot.
**[21:22] Araragi**
It isn't an order.
**[21:23] Araragi**
I'm not in a position to order you.
**[21:26] Shinobu**
Then I won't do it, idiot.
**[21:28] Shinobu**
What you just saw
**[21:29] Shinobu**
was me saying I'd help you,
but I'd rather not say so myself.
**[21:33] Shinobu**
So please allow me to save face
by calling it an order.
**[21:37] Shinobu**
Why couldn't you tell?
**[21:39] Shinobu**
My showing up right now,
when I should clearly
**[21:43] Shinobu**
be sleeping was obviously
so that I could help you.
**[21:49] Araragi**
You're a tsundere, too.
**[21:53] Araragi**
Then it's an order.
**[21:54] Araragi**
Get off your ass, and find out
where Karen-chan is, already!
**[21:57] Shinobu**
Oh, no... Oh, no.
**[21:59] Shinobu**
What cruel fate forces me
to obey the orders
**[22:03] Shinobu**
of a lesser being like this human?
**[22:05] Shinobu**
But I cannot disobey an order...
**[22:11] Shinobu**
You can't do anything without me around.
**[22:15] Shinobu**
You're so cute.
**[22:18] Shinobu**
Ha ha.
**[22:21] Shinobu**
Your sister's blood is structurally
similar to yours.
**[22:25] Shinobu**
So I can tell where she is by the smell.
**[22:32] Shinobu**
She doesn't seem to have gone very far...
