Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [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. SIGN    Episode 5: Karen Bee, Part 6 SIGN    Tamikurasou SIGN    201 [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 SIGN    Beast SIGN    Perversion and Sexual Desire SIGN    Praying SIGN    Flashback     Flashback     Flashback [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...
