***SIGN*** CHAPTER 001
**[00:04] Koyomi**
*If I could see Mayoi Hachikuji
one more time, I wouldn't mind dying.*
**[00:08] Koyomi**
*For a while, I truly thought that.*
**[00:12] Koyomi**
*As for why I didn't do so...*
**[00:14] Koyomi**
*Much though I was okay with dying,
perhaps more so,*
**[00:17] Koyomi**
*I still wanted to live, contrary to expectations.*
**[00:21] Koyomi**
*I felt there was something
for me to do while I'm alive.*
**[00:26] Koyomi**
*When there's family or a lover,*
**[00:29] Koyomi**
*benefactors or friends,
those are factors to consider.*
**[00:33] Koyomi**
*However, humans, or at least I,*
**[00:36] Koyomi**
*aren't creatures with such strong self-control
that one would die for an emotion.*
**[00:42] Koyomi**
*I don't need friends.*
**[00:47] Koyomi**
*Because my strength as a human decreases.*
**[00:50] Koyomi**
*Those pet phrases became nostalgic,
so weak I've become.*
**[00:54] Koyomi**
*I am weak as a human.*
**[00:56] Koyomi**
*Weak, so weak...*
**[00:58] Koyomi**
*What's weakest of all is that
I don't particularly loathe my weakened self.*
**[01:06] Koyomi**
*I hold no grudge against it.*
**[01:11] Koyomi**
*However, there may be people out there
who cannot forgive me for becoming weaker.*
**[01:19] Koyomi**
*Overcoming the hell from spring break,
I still continued to live,*
**[01:23] Koyomi**
*and I'm not one who can't notice
someone glaring at me, wishing for me to die.*
**[01:28] Ougi**
You really are a fool, Araragi-senpai.
**[01:34] Koyomi**
*Yeah, it's true.*
**[01:36] Koyomi**
*"He that is born a fool
is never cured until death."*
**[01:38] Koyomi**
*On the other hand,
if it's something that death will cure,*
***SIGN*** KOYOMI ARARAGI
**[01:42] Koyomi**
*being a fool may not have been
that terrible of an illness, either.*

***SIGN*** CHAPTER 002
**[03:26] Koyomi**
H-Hachikuji?
**[03:28] Mayoi**
Yes.
**[03:30] Koyomi**
Hachikuji?
**[03:31] Mayoi**
Yes, that's right.
**[03:34] Koyomi**
Mayoi Hachikuji?
**[03:36] Mayoi**
Yes, I'm Mayoi Hachikuji.
**[03:41] Koyomi**
*Now wait, hold on.*
**[03:42] Koyomi**
*Don't panic.*
***SIGN*** ARARAGI
***SIGN*** KOYOMI
**[03:44] Koyomi**
*Right, just remember...*
**[03:45] Koyomi**
*What kind of a situation was this now?*
***SIGN*** Exam-taker number: 0049 Name: Araragi, Koyomi Foreign Subjects Taken: English, German, Chinese, Russian, Japanese (circle two subjects that apply)
**[03:48] Koyomi**
*Right. Today, March 13th
was the day of my entrance exams.*
***SIGN*** Exam Date: 3/13/xxxx (Tue) General Entrance Exams Japanese - oo:oo ~ oo:oo
**[03:53] Koyomi**
*Before heading to the college campus
to take the exam, I had made a detour.*
**[03:57] Koyomi**
*There, I saw the leader of the specialists,*
**[04:00] Koyomi**
*Gaen Izuko-san, waiting for me within
the shrine grounds, and I had to face her.*
**[04:10] Koyomi**
*And?*
**[04:11] Koyomi**
*And, why Hachikuji?*
**[04:13] Koyomi**
*Mayoi Hachikuji-san?*
**[04:22] Koyomi**
*Oh, brother.
Looks like there's a problem.*
**[04:25] Koyomi**
*From this turn of events,*
**[04:26] Koyomi**
*I'm sure everyone is thinking of
a surprising reunion with someone
*
**[04:30] Koyomi**
*Koyomi Araragi would never see again,
the one close to his heart, Mayoi Hachikuji,*
**[04:34] Koyomi**
*jumping for joy, choked with gratified tears,
trembling from the touching moment,*
**[04:38] Koyomi**
*rejoicing and screaming nonsense,
and he would first attempt to hug her.*
**[04:44] Koyomi**
*I'm sure that's what everyone expects.*
**[04:46] Koyomi**
*I'm sure that's what is expected of me.*
**[04:50] Koyomi**
*That's quite the burden of expectation.*
**[04:52] Koyomi**
*My adolescent self, the one who
jumped at Hachikuji with a rocket-like start*
**[04:57] Koyomi**
*each time he saw her walking around town,
is no longer here.*
**[04:59] Koyomi**
*If that is Koyomi Araragi, then he is already dead.*
**[05:03] Koyomi**
*He. Is. Dead.*
**[05:05] Koyomi**
*Such a Koyomi Araragi
that is better off dead, really was dead.*
**[05:10] Koyomi**
*He met a fitting end.*
**[05:12] Koyomi**
*But well, that said...*
**[05:14] Koyomi**
*That said...*
**[05:16] Koyomi**
*Tracing back the faint threads of memory,
I am indebted to Hachikuji quite a bit as well.*
**[05:22] Koyomi**
*Benevolence, justice, rites, knowledge,
loyalty, integrity, filial piety, sibling piety.*
***SIGN*** BENEVOLENCE, JUSTICE, RITES, KNOWLEDGE, LOYALTY, INTEGRITY, FILIAL PIETY, SIBLING PIETY
**[05:26] Koyomi**
*Return gratitude worth returning.*
**[05:28] Koyomi**
*It is only natural to approach someone who took care of you with gratitude.*
**[05:32] Koyomi**
*If that's been decided, then all is well.*
**[05:36] Koyomi**
*On your mark, get set...*
**[06:03] Koyomi**
Hachikuji!
**[06:10] Koyomi**
Hachikuji! Hachikuji! Hachikuji!
**[06:16] Koyomi**
What are you doing here?
Why are you here for me right now?
**[06:20] Koyomi**
No, I don't care about the reason,
I'm just happy that you're here for me.
**[06:23] Koyomi**
I can't put these touching feelings to words!
**[06:32] Koyomi**
Oh, how this feels to the touch...
The feeling of huggin you...
**[06:34] Koyomi**
This size, and how it
completely fits within my arms!
**[06:37] Koyomi**
This truly is Hachikuji!
**[06:39] Koyomi**
Thankful, so thankful!
**[06:41] Koyomi**
The more we rub cheeks,
the more it feels like Hachikuji!
**[06:44] Koyomi**
The more I lick around,
the more it feels like Hachikuji!
**[06:46] Koyomi**
The more it ripens,
the more I can lick Hachikuji!
**[06:50] Koyomi**
Come on, let me touch you more!
**[06:52] Koyomi**
Let me hug you more!
**[06:53] Koyomi**
Let me lick you more!
**[06:58] Koyomi**
Hey now! Don't thrash about!
It's harder for us to get naked!
**[07:08] Koyomi**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
What the hell are you doing, brat?
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 003
**[07:20] Koyomi**
How to put it...
**[07:22] Koyomi**
That's right. After I parted ways with you,
***SIGN*** SEISHIROU SHISHIRUI
**[07:24] Koyomi**
Shinobu's first minion showed up,
**[07:27] Koyomi**
Oikura returned,
***SIGN*** SODACHI OIKURA
**[07:29] Koyomi**
Sengoku had all that happen
to her here at this shrine,
***SIGN*** NADEKO SENGOKU
***SIGN*** DEISHU KAIKI
**[07:32] Koyomi**
I bumped into Kaiki,
***SIGN*** KOYOMI ARARAGI
**[07:34] Koyomi**
I turned into a vampire on my own,
**[07:36] Koyomi**
that and I had Ononoki-chan
kill one of her own creators,
***SIGN*** YOTSUGI ONONOKI
***SIGN*** SURUGA KANBARU
**[07:40] Koyomi**
oh right, that was here at this shrine, too.
***SIGN*** KAREN ARARAGI / TSUKIHI ARARAGI
***SIGN*** YODURU KAGENUI
**[07:44] Koyomi**
And also at this shrine,
Kagenui-san went missing, too.
**[07:48] Koyomi**
I had one bad thing
happen to me after another.
**[07:51] Koyomi**
For all this time, I called the two weeks
of spring break as a hellish time for me.
**[07:56] Koyomi**
But the true hell
may have been the past six months—
**[07:59] Mayoi**
That's incorrect, Araragi-san.
**[08:02] Koyomi**
Hm? What is?
**[08:04] Mayoi**
Ara-lucky-san.
**[08:07] Koyomi**
Hachikuji, I was just talking about how
unfortunate of a person I had been.
**[08:12] Koyomi**
I don't care how you flub, but just don't flub
in such a positive, happy light like that.
**[08:17] Koyomi**
At the least, you should have said Un-lucky-san.
**[08:20] Koyomi**
That, and my name is Araragi.
**[08:23] Mayoi**
I'm sorry. I flubbed.
**[08:24] Koyomi**
No, that was intentional.
**[08:26] Mayoi**
I fwubbed.
**[08:27] Koyomi**
It's not intentional?
**[08:29] Mayoi**
Flub-dub-cub-hub-stub-grub-sub-bub-rub-club-tub.
**[08:33] Koyomi**
How can you recite that without flubbing?
**[08:35] Koyomi**
I can't help but marvel at you as you do that!
**[08:38] Mayoi**
You're incorrect, Araragi-san.
**[08:46] Mayoi**
It's more realistic an error,
or rather a more practical error...
**[08:50] Mayoi**
To be frank, the location is different.
**[08:54] Koyomi**
Location?
**[08:57] Mayoi**
For a while, Araragi-san,
**[09:00] Mayoi**
you've been saying
"this shrine" this, "this shrine" that.
**[09:06] Mayoi**
But, this isn't North Shirahebi Shrine.
**[09:11] Mayoi**
Huh? What?
**[09:14] Mayoi**
And, it's not even that park
where I first met you, Araragi-san.
**[09:18] Koyomi**
What?
**[09:21] Mayoi**
Araragi-san,
please stay calm and listen to me.
**[09:26] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, you may be thinking that I,
**[09:28] Mayoi**
someone who has rested in peace,
have returned before you.
**[09:33] Mayoi**
But actually, in reality, that is not the case.
**[09:37] Koyomi**
What?
***SIGN*** WHAT
**[09:38] Mayoi**
It's not that I have appeared
before you, Araragi-san.
**[09:41] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, you were the one
who appeared before me, okay?
***SIGN*** WHAT
**[09:44] Koyomi**
What, what?
***SIGN*** WHAT²
**[09:45] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, early in the morning on March 13th,
you visited said North Shirahebi Shrine,
**[09:51] Mayoi**
met with Gaen Izuko-san,
and you were murdered.
**[09:58] Izuko**
*And that solution is for you to die.*
**[10:01] Izuko**
*It's all right. It will only hurt for an instant.*
***SIGN*** HACHIKUJI BUS
**[10:06] Mayoi**
This place, Araragi-san...
**[10:08] Mayoi**
is Hell.
**[10:10] Koyomi**
What?
**[10:11] Mayoi**
The bottommost layer of hell
among all hells...
**[10:16] Mayoi**
Avici Hell.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 004
**[10:23] Koyomi**
Hell? Hell? Avici Hell?
***SIGN*** *SANJIVA / KALASUTRA / SAMGHATA /
RAURAVA / MAHARAURAVA / TAPANA*
**[10:27] Koyomi**
Let's say this is indeed *Avici*.
I have one big question.
**[10:32] Mayoi**
Oh, you're wondering why you fell into
such a deep part of hell, Araragi-san?
**[10:38] Mayoi**
You see, Araragi-san,
you have turned into a vampire, right?
***SIGN*** HMRGH?
**[10:42] Mayoi**
The main sin that lowered you down
to *Avichi* is just that. Saving a demon.
***SIGN*** TOUR OF HELL
**[10:48] Mayoi**
Of course you'd go to hell for that.
**[11:00] Koyomi**
*I see.*
**[11:02] Koyomi**
*No, the big question I had
wasn't about my grave sin.*
**[11:08] Koyomi**
What the hell are you doing here?
**[11:11] Mayoi**
Why, you ask...
**[11:13] Mayoi**
But well, you see, I fell down to hell.
**[11:21] Koyomi**
You've got to be kidding me.
After such a touching resting into peace!?
**[11:25] Koyomi**
You fell to hell after that?
Seriously? That was such a waste!
**[11:29] Koyomi**
What are you doing? This just can't be!
**[11:34] Mayoi**
See, I didn't know
until I fell down here myself.
**[11:39] Mayoi**
When children die before their parents,
they apparently go straight to hell, no matter what.
***SIGN*** IT'S THAT BIT ABOUT PILING UP STONES ON THE BANKS OF HELL
**[11:48] Koyomi**
You're kidding, right?
**[11:52] Mayoi**
Hmm? What's the matter, Araragi-san?
**[11:55] Koyomi**
*But still...*
**[11:57] Koyomi**
That's not a sin that would make you fall
all the way down to *Avichi* unlike me, right?
**[12:03] Koyomi**
Shouldn't you be piling stones
on the banks of hell?
**[12:06] Mayoi**
Yes, that's right, Araragi-san.
**[12:10] Mayoi**
I knew this is where
you'd come falling down to, Araragi-san.
**[12:14] Mayoi**
That is why I took a trip
from the banks of Hell to pick you up.
**[12:22] Mayoi**
"It looks like I'm having a friend come nearby,
so I'll take a break from piling stones today!"
**[12:27] Mayoi**
That's how I got out of there.
**[12:29] Koyomi**
So the banks of hell
is that easygoing a place to be?
**[12:38] Koyomi**
You had known in advance?
**[12:40] Mayoi**
No, it's not that I knew.
The person who told me about it, did know.
**[12:47] Mayoi**
Apparently that person...
**[12:50] Mayoi**
...knows everything.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 005
**[12:55] Mayoi**
Now that all the detailed explanations
for every mystery has been explained,
**[12:59] Mayoi**
let us start heading over.
**[13:02] Mayoi**
Let's go, Araragi-san.
**[13:07] Koyomi**
Hachikuji, you haven't had any hesitation
in your steps at all until here.
**[13:10] Koyomi**
At the least, can you tell me
where our destination is?
**[13:13] Mayoi**
To tell you the destination where we are heading
based on the objective for heading there...
**[13:18] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, it's my job
to resurrect you back to life.
**[13:22] Koyomi**
Eh? I can be resurrected?
**[13:25] Mayoi**
Of course you can.
What are you going to do by staying dead?
**[13:28] Koyomi**
But, Gaen-san...
**[13:30] Mayoi**
No, that's why you need
to get a grip, Araragi-san.
**[13:34] Mayoi**
In other words,
"dying then resurrecting" was included
**[13:37] Mayoi**
in everything proceeding according
to her calculations.
**[13:40] Koyomi**
What's up with that fruitless calculation?
**[13:42] Koyomi**
That's a pretty meaningless act, much like
dividing by two after multiplying by two.
**[13:47] Mayoi**
It's not "dividing by two
after multiplying by two."
**[13:50] Mayoi**
There is subtraction as well.
**[13:53] Mayoi**
Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually.
**[13:58] Mayoi**
Oh, Araragi-san.
**[14:01] Mayoi**
Someone has sunken into the ground over there.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 006
**[14:09] Koyomi**
Sh-Shinobu!
**[14:19] Mayoi**
Was it like your body
moved on its own, Araragi-san?
**[14:23] Mayoi**
That's strange. Araragi-san, you regretted
saving Shinobu-san over spring break so much.
**[14:29] Mayoi**
But here, in the same situation,
why did you try to do the same thing again?
**[14:34] Koyomi**
Well, that's... Um...
**[14:37] Koyomi**
All I can say is that my body moved on its own.
**[14:42] Koyomi**
Well, I still do wonder
**[14:43] Koyomi**
to this day, what would have happened
if I had ignored Shinobu back then.
**[14:47] Koyomi**
I think and dream about it even now.
**[14:51] Mayoi**
Over here!
**[14:57] Mayoi**
Oh, Araragi-san, a pervert
is coming this way. Please be careful.
**[15:01] Koyomi**
A pervert is coming? That's a big deal.
**[15:04] Koyomi**
Hachikuji, hide inside my clothes,
I mean, behind my back.
**[15:07] Mayoi**
You've already said "inside my clothes" there.
**[15:12] Mayoi**
You could say, Araragi-san,
that your life turned tumultuous
**[15:15] Mayoi**
from when you saved Shinobu-san.
**[15:18] Mayoi**
But if you say that,
a big aspect was you getting to know
**[15:21] Mayoi**
Hanekawa-san right before
you saved Shinobu-san.
**[15:24] Koyomi**
Well, I won't deny that it was
Hanekawa's fault in all sorts of ways.
**[15:29] Koyomi**
Because she doesn't know everything, but knows only
what she knows, and exposed truths she didn't need to,
**[15:36] Koyomi**
and because she forgot truths
that she didn't have to forget,
**[15:39] Koyomi**
we went through reckless shortcuts
and impossible detours this whole time.
**[15:44] Koyomi**
But...
**[15:45] Koyomi**
Even then, I am glad
that I became friends with her.
**[15:49] Koyomi**
That, I believe from the bottom of my heart.
**[15:59] Koyomi**
Senjyogahara!
**[16:05] Mayoi**
I believe there was an option here to not catch
Senjyogahara-san after her foot slipped.
***SIGN*** BACK THEN, SENJYOGAHARA-SAN HAD ALMOST NO WEIGHT
***SIGN*** SO SHE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN INJURED
**[16:13] Mayoi**
But Araragi-san...
**[16:15] Koyomi**
I'll catch her, as many times as I need to,
**[16:17] Koyomi**
if Senjyogahara would come falling down.
**[16:20] Mayoi**
Suppose that, back then,
if you had not caught Senjyogahara-san.
**[16:26] Mayoi**
That con artist is going to show up
in this town shortly after this, right?
**[16:31] Koyomi**
The con artist... Deishu Kaiki.
**[16:35] Mayoi**
If, back then, you had not gotten
in the way, Araragi-san,
**[16:38] Mayoi**
perhaps they may have
gotten back together again?
**[16:45] Mayoi**
How is it, Araragi-san?
**[16:47] Mayoi**
If you imagined that perhaps you got in the way
of Senjyogahara-san and Kaiki-san's romance...
**[16:53] Koyomi**
If I imagined?
**[16:55] Koyomi**
All the same, I can't help but think,
"Serves you right!"
**[17:01] Koyomi**
It seems she was obliged
to Kaiki concerning Sengoku.
**[17:05] Koyomi**
But, that is a completely different matter.
**[17:08] Koyomi**
I can say from the bottom of my heart
that I was better off never meeting him.
**[17:12] Mayoi**
Then lastly, let's walk around the bit
about Sengoku-san, who you just mentioned.
**[17:17] Koyomi**
Wait, what about Kanbaru?
**[17:20] Mayoi**
That is a different part.
**[17:24] Koyomi**
About Shinobu, about Hanekawa,
about Senjyogahara, and of course about Hachikuji...
**[17:30] Koyomi**
If I were to come across
the same situation again,
**[17:32] Koyomi**
I'm sure I would do the same thing
over and over again.
**[17:35] Koyomi**
But, no matter what I do, I can't deny
the feeling that I could have done it better.
**[17:40] Mayoi**
I think you are doing plenty fine,
Araragi-san.
**[17:44] Mayoi**
At least, everything that concerns myself.
**[17:47] Koyomi**
When you say that,
it gives me a small feeling of salvation.
**[17:52] Koyomi**
But at the least, when we're talking
about Sengoku, I failed.
**[18:05] Koyomi**
*On the steps of the actual mountain,
when I passed by Nadeko Sengoku...*
**[18:09] Koyomi**
*Back then, I couldn't come to realize
that she was her.*
**[18:21] Mayoi**
I don't know about that.
After all, you aren't omnipotent.
**[18:25] Mayoi**
You should distinguish things like that,
like Hanekawa-san.
**[18:32] Mayoi**
Come to think, is Ononoki-san doing well?
**[18:36] Koyomi**
Well, she's doing well.
**[18:37] Mayoi**
I see. Then, as the one who assigned her
to be my successor,
**[18:42] Mayoi**
it makes me want to sigh in relief.
**[18:44] Koyomi**
Ononoki-chan was your successor?
**[18:46] Mayoi**
Yes. The sanctioned successor.
***SIGN*** SANCTIONED (KOUNIN)
***SIGN*** SUCCESSOR (KOUNIN)
**[18:50] Mayoi**
I'm sure she has delightful chats
unfolding around you, Araragi-san.
**[18:57] Koyomi**
Come to think, Ononoki-chan isn't included
in this 89-spot pilgrimage, either.
***SIGN*** WRAP IT UP!
**[19:04] Mayoi**
We have time constraints as well.
**[19:06] Koyomi**
Time constraints?
**[19:08] Mayoi**
Yes. Producer Hachikuji
had to make a tough decision.
**[19:11] Mayoi**
Well, the anime shed a lot of light
onto Ononoki-san close up, so it's fine.
**[19:15] Koyomi**
You don't have to balance things out
with such a thing.
**[19:19] Koyomi**
Balance.
**[19:22] Koyomi**
*That's what was on my mind.*
**[19:25] Koyomi**
*Balance.*
**[19:37] Koyomi**
The right thing.
**[19:38] Mayoi**
Yes? What was that, Araragi-san?
**[19:41] Koyomi**
Well, I was thinking
I had a debate with the Fire Sisters,
**[19:44] Koyomi**
an advocate of justice,
about something like that.
**[19:47] Koyomi**
I suddenly was reminded of it.
**[19:50] Mayoi**
Well, we're almost at the pinnacle, so if
there's more you want to discuss, keep it short.
**[19:55] Mayoi**
Because that will most likely be
our final talk session.
**[19:58] Koyomi**
What?
***SIGN*** THEN, I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
**[20:04] Koyomi**
It was a talk about how it's difficult
to do the right thing.
**[20:08] Koyomi**
Most people are eager to correct mistakes
more than doing the right thing, right?
**[20:14] Mayoi**
Doing the right thing
and correcting mistakes are different?
**[20:18] Koyomi**
It's similar but different.
It's not on the mark, but pretty close.
***SIGN*** THE ACT OF "CORRECTING A MISTAKE"
***SIGN*** MAKES PEOPLE FEEL LIKE
***SIGN*** THEY ARE "DOING THE RIGHT THING"—
**[20:25] Koyomi**
If you keep correcting mistakes...
**[20:27] Koyomi**
If you crush mistakes one by one,
will it be a pure white kind of right someday?
**[20:33] Koyomi**
If I had to pick, I'd say
it would be a pitch black kind of right.
**[20:37] Koyomi**
Anyways, in a nutshell,
that's what I want to know.
**[20:41] Mayoi**
But, if you go that route,
you won't obtain what you really want.
**[20:46] Koyomi**
I can't obtain...
**[20:49] Koyomi**
...what I really want?
**[20:51] Mayoi**
Because it's on the premise
that someone else is evaluating.
**[20:54] Mayoi**
At that rate, you'll only receive
what others give you.
**[20:57] Mayoi**
Of course, I'm not saying that's a bad thing
**[21:00] Mayoi**
If, like you, Araragi-san, one sought something
beyond reach, or something you don't deserve,
**[21:05] Mayoi**
such a method
would prove to be impossible.

**[21:12] Mayoi**
The only thing you can do is succeed, right?
**[21:16] Koyomi**
It's not like I didn't particularly
want to talk about myself here.
**[21:21] Koyomi**
But well, maybe that is the case.
No, that's how it should be.
**[21:26] Mayoi**
You just said you weren't speaking
about yourself.
**[21:30] Mayoi**
Then, who were you speaking about?
**[21:39] Koyomi**
*Was it the defenders of justice,
the Fire Sisters?*
**[21:42] Koyomi**
*Was it a story about Oshino?*
**[21:46] Koyomi**
*That's not it.*
**[21:47] Koyomi**
*Probably, what I wanted to say...*
**[21:50] Koyomi**
*What I wanted to talk about... was her.*
**[21:53] Koyomi**
*The transfer student.*
**[21:55] Koyomi**
*Meme Oshino's niece.*
**[21:57] Koyomi**
*Ougi Oshino. It was about her.*
**[22:01] Koyomi**
*Why didn't her name
cross my mind until right now?*
**[22:05] Koyomi**
*Why couldn't I remember her?
Isn't that a bit strange?*
**[22:09] Koyomi**
*She is the one who, of my past year,*
**[22:12] Koyomi**
*was the most important person
in the second half.*
**[22:23] Tadatsuru**
Hello, Araragi-kun.
I've been waiting for you.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 007
**[22:31] Koyomi**
Wha—
**[22:33] Koyomi**
Wh-Why are you here?
**[22:41] Mayoi**
The one who notified me of "her" will
was Teori-san over there.
**[22:47] Koyomi**
N-Notify?
**[22:48] Tadatsuru**
Don't give me that look, Araragi-kun.
**[22:51] Tadatsuru**
I'll give you a full round of explanations.
**[22:55] Koyomi**
You're, I mean...
**[22:57] Koyomi**
a specialist who specializes in the extermination
of immortal apparitions, right?
**[23:02] Tadatsuru**
You don't have to worry
about that for now.
**[23:05] Koyomi**
What?
**[23:07] Tadatsuru**
From you, your vampiric nature...
**[23:09] Tadatsuru**
...has been subtracted.
**[23:16] Koyomi**
*Oh, I see.*
**[23:18] Koyomi**
*So that's what Hachikuji meant
about what she said earlier.*
**[23:22] Koyomi**
*It wasn't just multiplication and division,
but there's subtraction involved as well.*
**[23:26] Koyomi**
*The subtracted number
was my vampiric nature.*
**[23:31] Tadatsuru**
Is Yotsugi doing well? I hope she didn't
worry about the fact that she killed me.
**[23:38] Tadatsuru**
After all, she wasn't told
of the circumstances that we were in.
**[23:42] Koyomi**
What were the circumstances?
**[23:46] Tadatsuru**
To put it plainly...
**[23:48] Tadatsuru**
Being killed by Yotsugi in that manner
was the true role that had been given to me.
**[23:57] Tadatsuru**
To fall to hell ahead of time, and have
all preparations to resurrect you be completed.
**[24:04] Tadatsuru**
That was my job as a professional specialist.
***SIGN*** MAYOI HELL - PART TWO
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 008
**[24:15] Koyomi**
Huh?
***SIGN*** FIVE MINUTES LATER
**[24:26] Koyomi**
You mean you feigned death?
**[24:30] Tadatsuru**
The individual known as me had already
passed away at a point in the distant past.
**[24:36] Tadatsuru**
Back then, my self that Yotsugi killed
was a puppet that I controlled.
**[24:46] Koyomi**
You said that Ononoki-chan
didn't know about that?
**[24:50] Tadatsuru**
Yup, that's right. Not just Yotsugi,
but Yoduru didn't know, either.
**[24:56] Tadatsuru**
The ones who knew about this technique were
**[24:58] Tadatsuru**
Gaen-senpai, and Meme Oshino.
Nobody else.
**[25:05] Koyomi**
If so, then what in the world was that farce?
**[25:09] Tadatsuru**
A farce? That was the best act in my book.
**[25:15] Tadatsuru**
I mean, dying and resurrecting.
**[25:18] Tadatsuru**
You could say it's my specialty
even more than it is for vampires.
**[25:22] Tadatsuru**
Though, strictly speaking,
I'm not really resurrecting back to life.
**[25:27] Tadatsuru**
I am merely possessing a doll,
**[25:29] Tadatsuru**
and through that medium,
I am regressing into the material world.
**[25:32] Koyomi**
From when?
**[25:33] Tadatsuru**
I became a puppeteer
**[25:36] Tadatsuru**
after I created the doll known as Yotsugi,
and parted ways with them.
**[25:42] Tadatsuru**
Whoa.
***SIGN*** WHITE FRAME
**[25:48] Tadatsuru**
It seems I am being hurried.
**[25:50] Tadatsuru**
Allow me to explain plainly.
**[25:54] Tadatsuru**
I quit college, and entered this field.
**[25:58] Tadatsuru**
But as Gaen-senpai was glaring at me,
I couldn't really get things to go my way.
**[26:04] Tadatsuru**
So, the hasty decision I had come up with
was to call the forbidden technique.
**[26:10] Tadatsuru**
As a specialist, it's too powerful of a spell
to use, more than being a forbidden move.
**[26:15] Tadatsuru**
I had tried to create a doll apparition
named Tadatsuru Teori.
**[26:20] Koyomi**
Did that succeed?
**[26:23] Tadatsuru**
I failed, and what you see here is the result.
**[26:27] Tadatsuru**
I became something
like half-man and half-monster,
**[26:30] Tadatsuru**
wandering the boundaries
of the material world and the afterlife.
**[26:34] Tadatsuru**
Well, I say it was a failure,
but I can continue to live through my dolls.
**[26:40] Tadatsuru**
And since then, I succeeded
in the mass-production of the dolls.
**[26:44] Tadatsuru**
So, if you say I'm immortal, I'm immortal.
**[26:46] Tadatsuru**
If you say I'm an apparition,
I'm an apparition.
**[26:49] Tadatsuru**
At most, I make good use of my special
constitution to strive in my own business.
***SIGN*** BECAUSE HE HAD SUCH A SPECIAL CONSTITUTION
***SIGN*** HE WAS ABLE TO COME THIS FAR OUTSIDE OF GAEN-SAN'S NETWORK...
**[26:56] Koyomi**
Then, why did you pretend to die?
**[26:59] Tadatsuru**
It was last month.
**[27:01] Tadatsuru**
One request came flying for me
as a specialist.
**[27:06] Tadatsuru**
It was a request to resolve the anomalies
that were happening in your town.
**[27:12] Tadatsuru**
The contents of that request
had targeted you and ex-Kiss-shot.
**[27:18] Tadatsuru**
You guys were certified as harmless
within Gaen-senpai's network,
**[27:24] Tadatsuru**
but an apparition guarded by the network
was something I targeted as my top priority.
**[27:30] Tadatsuru**
Request or not, you were a target
that I should be on the move for.
**[27:34] Koyomi**
*This guy took my two little sisters
and one underclassman as hostages.*
**[27:39] Koyomi**
*He pulled off such a vicious, cruel act.*
***SIGN*** BLACK FRAME
**[27:44] Tadatsuru**
If something had
not been done in advance,
**[27:47] Tadatsuru**
I wonder if I would have been
unscathed by it all.
**[27:50] Koyomi**
Don't say scary things like that.
**[27:52] Tadatsuru**
I'm the one who is scared saying this.
**[27:55] Tadatsuru**
To think that Suruga Kanbaru
was the daughter of the Gaen clan...
**[27:59] Tadatsuru**
When I think about what would've happened
if I had injured her without
**[28:02] Tadatsuru**
knowing anything, I start trembling.
**[28:04] Tadatsuru**
I'm glad that I had heard things in advance.
**[28:08] Koyomi**
Tadatsuru, so you had heard something
from Gaen-san before you received the request?
**[28:14] Tadatsuru**
No, it was someone else that was
the middleman between me and Gaen-senpai.
***SIGN*** MIDDLEMAN
**[28:22] Koyomi**
*To the word "middleman,"
I had one inspiration.*
**[28:27] Koyomi**
Oshino?
***SIGN*** OSHINO
**[28:30] Koyomi**
Meme Oshino?
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 009
**[28:32] Tadatsuru**
Correct.
**[28:33] Tadatsuru**
Yes, that man
who acts as he sees through things.
**[28:37] Tadatsuru**
Despite being one of the leading members
of Gaen-senpai's network,
**[28:40] Tadatsuru**
he reached out and contacted me.
**[28:43] Tadatsuru**
That made me feel like
he was still a free man as ever.
**[28:47] Tadatsuru**
He had said that because I was outside
of Gaen-senpai's network,
**[28:51] Tadatsuru**
there was something I could do.
**[28:54] Koyomi**
And that was when you had heard
of Kanbaru's background in advance?
**[28:59] Tadatsuru**
Yup. And there was talk about you as well,
or should I say, talk about you guys?
**[29:05] Tadatsuru**
Now that I think about it, he was appealing to me
about how safe you guys were.
**[29:11] Tadatsuru**
By the way, I realized that he had
**[29:14] Tadatsuru**
seen my true identity as just a doll,
was at that time as well.
**[29:18] Tadatsuru**
No, now that I think about it,
maybe he was threatening me?
**[29:22] Tadatsuru**
Like, "if you laid a hand on my friends,
I'll disclose your true nature."
***SIGN*** TO THINK HE HAD TAKEN COUNTERMEASURES TO PREPARE FOR A SITUATION THAT IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN
**[29:34] Tadatsuru**
This was the argument he had made.
**[29:37] Tadatsuru**
"Koyomi Araragi and Shinobu Oshino."
**[29:39] Tadatsuru**
"Currently, they are basically harmless."
**[29:42] Tadatsuru**
"As long as you leave them untouched,
there are no problems."
**[29:45] Tadatsuru**
"However, I'm not saying cases
that deviate from the norm don't exist."
**[29:49] Tadatsuru**
"The case IS where Araragi-kun colludes with
Shinobu-chan, and continues to vampirify himself."
**[29:55] Tadatsuru**
In other words, that man was deeply concerned
about the arrival of a situation
**[30:01] Tadatsuru**
where you had to do as such, Araragi-kun.
**[30:03] Tadatsuru**
He seemed to know you'd willingly be reckless
when it came to situations of that sort.
**[30:10] Koyomi**
Even if he knew...
**[30:12] Tadatsuru**
If such turn of events were to happen,
I may receive some sort of a request.
**[30:17] Tadatsuru**
A request to hunt down vampires, that is.
**[30:21] Tadatsuru**
He wanted me to "forget my grudges from the past,
and seek contact with Gaen-senpai."
**[30:26] Tadatsuru**
"And at that point, Gaen-senpai
should be waiting to hear from you."
**[30:31] Tadatsuru**
"Because Gaen-senpai can't move,
as she has her position to hold."
**[30:35] Tadatsuru**
Back then, I didn't really understand
what he was talking about.
**[30:40] Tadatsuru**
But in reality, things went exactly
like he thought it would go.
**[30:44] Tadatsuru**
And that's why, when that request came flying in,
indeed, to exterminate you guys,
**[30:50] Tadatsuru**
it sent shivers up my spine.
**[30:53] Tadatsuru**
At the same time,
I found it rather strange.
**[30:56] Tadatsuru**
If he was so concerned
about this turn of events,
**[30:59] Tadatsuru**
why didn't Oshino want to do something
about it on his own?
**[31:03] Tadatsuru**
That was something I became intrigued in.
**[31:05] Tadatsuru**
That's why I thought I'd play along
with his little arrangement.
**[31:10] Tadatsuru**
I contacted Gaen-senpai.
***SIGN*** AND SO, THE CURTAIN ROSE ON THE FARCE PLAY.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 010
**[31:24] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, that's your ride
to go back to the material world.
**[31:28] Mayoi**
You really are running out of time.
**[31:31] Mayoi**
If you miss that thread, Araragi-san, you really
will continue to burn forever here in *Avici*.
**[31:38] Mayoi**
And so, Teori-san, I'm terribly sorry,
but can you cut that story out about here?
**[31:44] Koyomi**
No, wait, Hachikuji.
**[31:47] Koyomi**
It wasn't okay to just
merely turn down the request?
**[31:52] Tadatsuru**
"It's better for me to play along
with what the enemy intended."
**[31:56] Tadatsuru**
That was the conclusion
Gaen-senpai and I came to.
**[32:01] Tadatsuru**
I did say it was better to play along
with what they intended,
**[32:04] Tadatsuru**
but their intent is not something
I clearly understand.
**[32:08] Tadatsuru**
I'm doing this because
I want to find out what it is.
**[32:11] Tadatsuru**
That, and simultaneously,
**[32:14] Tadatsuru**
it was a measure necessary in order to stop
progression of you turning into a vampire.
**[32:19] Tadatsuru**
So that I can come to this side
like this, and guide you...
**[32:23] Tadatsuru**
Since it was right after
I played a despicable character,
**[32:26] Tadatsuru**
I also had to have some assistance
from Hachikuji-chan right there to pull it off.
**[32:31] Mayoi**
I was allowed to assist for this.
***SIGN*** KOYOMI ARARAGI TADATSURU TEORI
**[32:33] Mayoi**

**[32:35] Mayoi**
It shows up
at the end of the ending credits.
***SIGN*** MAYOI HACHIKUJI (CAMEO APPEARANCE)
**[32:39] Koyomi**
*So kill once to reset, and resurrect just
the "human" part of my physical body, huh?*
***SIGN*** IF SO, THEN, IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE
***SIGN*** IF THEY TOLD ME IN ADVANCE,
***SIGN*** BUT IF THEY DIDN'T TELL ME, THAT MEANS
***SIGN*** THERE WERE CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENTING THEM FROM TELLING ME IN ADVANCE
***SIGN*** THAT PART MAY BE THE TACTIC THEY ARE TAKING AGAINST THE ENEMY
***SIGN*** THERE'S NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW FROM MY VIEWPOINT.
**[32:55] Tadatsuru**
Of course, if we were to use the demon sword
"Yume Watari" to revive you
**[32:59] Tadatsuru**
after killing you with
the demon sword "Kokoro Watari,"
**[33:02] Tadatsuru**
it may revive you
just the way you were, as a vampire.
**[33:06] Tadatsuru**
That would have put us back
at square one.
**[33:10] Tadatsuru**
In order to not do that, we needed me
**[33:12] Tadatsuru**
to interfere as a specialist
over from the hell side of things.
**[33:17] Tadatsuru**
Without making that correction, there was
nothing we could do against the enemy.
**[33:25] Tadatsuru**
That was the mutual conclusion
that both Gaen-senpai and I came to.
**[33:31] Mayoi**
Let us be on our way, Araragi-san.
**[33:41] Koyomi**
*This thing is alive.*
**[33:50] Koyomi**
Come to think, I hadn't asked yet.
**[33:52] Mayoi**
Yes?
**[33:53] Koyomi**
I was supposedly slain at
North Shirahebi Shrine in the real world.
**[33:57] Koyomi**
Why did I wake up
in that park over in hell?
**[34:00] Mayoi**
That bothers you that much?
**[34:02] Koyomi**
It's not enough to bother me per se, but...
***SIGN*** NO.
***SIGN*** I KNOW. I'M JUST DELAYING.
***SIGN*** TO CLIMB THIS WHITE SNAKE— TO RESURRECT BACK INTO LIFE.
***SIGN*** I'M DELAYING IT FURTHER AND FURTHER
***SIGN*** PARK
**[34:10] Koyomi**
About the shift, well, I don't care.
**[34:12] Koyomi**
But, if you know what the name
of that park is, I'd like to know.
***SIGN*** NAMISHIRO
**[34:18] Koyomi**
Is it "Namishiro," or "Rouhaku"?
**[34:20] Tadatsuru**
"Shirohebi" Park.
**[34:22] Tadatsuru**
The correct way to read the name
is "Shirohebi" Park, if you go back to its origin.
**[34:26] Koyomi**
Eh? Shirohebi?
***SIGN*** HEBI (SNAKE)
**[34:29] Tadatsuru**
It's not the "insect" radical,
but the "water" radical.
***SIGN*** HEBI
**[34:32] Tadatsuru**
Shirohebi.
***SIGN*** SHIROHEBI
**[34:34] Tadatsuru**
Somewhere along the way,
someone miswrote and HEBI turned into NAMI.
**[34:38] Tadatsuru**
It's why the location became hard to read.
***SIGN*** HEBI
***SIGN*** NAMI
**[34:41] Koyomi**
Wait, "shirohebi"...
**[34:43] Koyomi**
...North "Shirahebi" Shrine.
***SIGN*** NORTH SHIRAHEBI SHRINE
**[34:46] Tadatsuru**
Yup. That's what it means.
**[34:48] Tadatsuru**
Originally, North Shirahebi Shrine
used to be at that location.
**[34:51] Tadatsuru**
That's why that slight shift occurred.
**[34:53] Tadatsuru**
You've heard the story that this shrine
was one that had been relocated, perhaps?
**[34:58] Koyomi**
Yeah, that's—
**[35:01] Koyomi**
I think it was a mistake in connection,
**[35:03] Koyomi**
and became a reason for distortion,
or something.
**[35:06] Tadatsuru**
Right, as it was something like bringing
the god of the seas on top of a mountain.
**[35:11] Tadatsuru**
Though, to be precise, it wasn't a sea but a lake.
**[35:15] Koyomi**
Lake? I think I've heard about that
from someone at some point...
**[35:21] Tadatsuru**
Well, you should
get on your way soon, Araragi-kun.
**[35:25] Tadatsuru**
Please give my regards
to Gaen-senpai. And to Yotsugi.
**[35:29] Tadatsuru**
Please cherish Yotsugi on my behalf as well.
**[35:32] Koyomi**
Yeah, got it.
**[35:35] Koyomi**
But is it all right
for someone like me to resurrect?
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 011
**[35:44] Koyomi**
Hachikuji!
**[35:47] Mayoi**
"Is it all right
for someone like me to resurrect?"
**[35:50] Mayoi**
What kind of a statement is that?
**[35:56] Mayoi**
What, Araragi-san.
Are you chickening out?
**[35:59] Mayoi**
You don't want
to go through difficult ordeals?
**[36:03] Mayoi**
Are you tired of it all?
**[36:09] Koyomi**
No.
**[36:11] Koyomi**
There really was a feeling
like a tense thread snapping.
**[36:16] Koyomi**
I didn't really have the feeling of
"I was finally able to die," either.
**[36:21] Mayoi**
You can only say that because
you don't know the hardships of hell.
**[36:24] Mayoi**
You really are quite fortunate
merely because you can be resurrected.
***SIGN*** FORTUNATE
**[36:31] Koyomi**
But I feel like there are tons of other people
who deserve to be resurrected more than me.
**[36:37] Koyomi**
Is it all right for me to be resurrected?
**[36:40] Koyomi**
It's not that I don't want to be resurrected,
but I feel I'm cutting in line when I shouldn't be.
**[36:46] Mayoi**
You do, indeed!
**[36:47] Mayoi**
You have the right to be resurrected.
**[36:49] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, you have at least
that much of a qualification.
**[36:52] Mayoi**
Because you've done
at least that much to begin with!
**[36:55] Mayoi**
Yes, you have. I know all too well!
**[37:02] Mayoi**
If you're not being resurrected,
who are you saying should be resurrected?
**[37:05] Mayoi**
Without a doubt,
you are the first person in line!
**[37:10] Mayoi**
If you say weak-minded things so much,
I might end up hating you.
**[37:21] Mayoi**
Listen up, Araragi-san.
**[37:23] Mayoi**
The Araragi-san that I know...
**[37:26] Mayoi**
loves girls, loves young girls, loves little girls,
loves the skirt linings, loves women's hips,
**[37:31] Mayoi**
loves big boobs, loves to be handled roughly,
loves his older little sister,
**[37:35] Mayoi**
loves his younger little sister, loves mature women,
loves toplessness, loves bloomers,
**[37:40] Mayoi**
loves school-issued swimsuits,
loves class reps,
**[37:42] Mayoi**
loves girls who use "boku,"
loves cat ears, loves girls playing sports...
**[37:46] Koyomi**
Hold on a second.
**[37:47] Koyomi**
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it!
**[37:49] Koyomi**
My heart is about to completely snap right now.
**[37:54] Mayoi**
And you were someone who loves to be alive.
***SIGN*** IT WAS SO OBVIOUS THAT I HAD FORGOTTEN.

You're right.
**[38:06] Koyomi**
If I'm not alive, I can't cherish girls at all.
**[38:10] Mayoi**
Uhm, no, that's not exactly
what I wanted to tell you.
**[38:16] Koyomi**
To say there was a shift
in the meaning of life...
**[38:20] Koyomi**
There was plenty of meaning
merely by staying alive.
**[38:31] Koyomi**
If you love being alive,
that's all you really needed.
**[38:36] Koyomi**
Because I was able to love
all sorts of things, and people.
**[38:40] Mayoi**
When you say that in this context,
it may be a bit misleading.
**[38:46] Tadatsuru**
If I give the signal from this end, Gaen-senpai
will pull you up from her end. That's about it.
**[38:53] Koyomi**
Got it.
**[38:54] Koyomi**
I'm much obliged, Tadatsuru.
**[38:58] Koyomi**
Tadatsuru-san.
**[38:59] Tadatsuru**
No need to be formal
after all we've been through.
**[39:02] Tadatsuru**
As long as you continue to attempt protecting
Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade,
**[39:07] Tadatsuru**
...you will be my enemy.
**[39:11] Koyomi**
Even then, I'm much obliged
for this particular case.
**[39:15] Koyomi**
I never thought I'd be able
to chat with you like this.
**[39:19] Koyomi**
Someday, when we have time,
I'd like to settle down and talk with you again.
**[39:25] Tadatsuru**
If you don't mind doing so
while we kill each other.
**[39:31] Koyomi**
Hachikuji.
What are you going to do from here?
**[39:34] Mayoi**
What?
**[39:35] Mayoi**
Me? After I see you off, Araragi-san,
**[39:39] Mayoi**
I'm going back to the banks of hell
to pile stones up every day.
**[39:42] Mayoi**
Perhaps I may reincarnate as the child
of you and Senjyogahara-san.
**[39:48] Koyomi**
That's pretty heavy.
**[39:50] Mayoi**
Now then.
**[39:55] Koyomi**
I'm good. Send me off at any time.
**[39:58] Tadatsuru**
Then, let's countdown.
**[40:01] Tadatsuru**
10... 9...
**[40:03] Tadatsuru**
8...
**[40:04] Tadatsuru**
7...
**[40:05] Tadatsuru**
6...
**[40:06] Tadatsuru**
5...
**[40:07] Tadatsuru**
4... 3...
**[40:09] Tadatsuru**
2...
**[40:10] Tadatsuru**
1...
**[40:11] Tadatsuru**
Ignition.
**[40:18] Koyomi**
*That's right. Hachikuji said the first person
who should be resurrected is me.*
**[40:23] Koyomi**
*But, at the least, I am being
resurrected by shoving Hachikuji aside.*
**[40:29] Koyomi**
*To part with Mayoi Hachikuji...*
**[40:32] Koyomi**
*How many times does this make?*
**[40:35] Koyomi**
*H-Hachikuji!*
**[40:46] Tadatsuru**
Oh, Araragi-kun, one more thing!
**[40:50] Tadatsuru**
I'll tell you the name of the "enemy"
who requested me to exterminate you!
**[40:57] Tadatsuru**
Ougi.
**[40:59] Tadatsuru**
Ougi Oshino.
***SIGN*** CHAPTER 012
**[41:05] Koyomi**
*This is the epilogue,
or the punch line for this episode.*
**[41:16] Izuko**
Really...
**[41:17] Izuko**
To bring Hachikuji-chan with you, Koyomin.
**[41:20] Izuko**
You always are someone who goes
way beyond any of my expectations.
**[41:25] Izuko**
But for now, Koyomin,
**[41:27] Izuko**
can you please ask this scary,
beautiful lady to pull back her claws?
**[41:32] Kiss-shot**
Hey, you.
**[41:37] Kiss-shot**
Hmph. Well, I guess both needless killings
and futile gashes have been avoided.
**[41:42] Kiss-shot**
Though, it was the first time for me
to see "Yume Watari" activate.
**[42:08] Kiss-shot**
You fool, you made me worry.
**[42:11] Kiss-shot**
And, you abducted a young girl from hell.
You really are reckless.
**[42:20] Koyomi**
Hey, Shinobu. This is really bad
no matter how you think about it, right?
**[42:24] Koyomi**
Did once again, Hachikuji fulfill the conditions
for the "darkness" to be triggered?
**[42:28] Izuko**
And I'm saying that's why
you made a fine play, Koyomin.
**[42:32] Izuko**
Thanks to Koyomin's miracle here,
**[42:35] Izuko**
it looks like we'll be able to take
a slight advantage in the battles to come.
**[42:38] Izuko**
The lost girl.
She's a pawn that I had been wanting.
**[42:43] Izuko**
But with how things are turning out,
**[42:44] Izuko**
it looks like I must request help
for a little while longer.
**[42:53] Izuko**
For now, Koyomin, I want you
to head over to your entrance exams.
**[42:57] Izuko**
If you head over now, you'll still make it.
**[42:59] Izuko**
Do your best.
**[43:00] Koyomi**
Well, I will do my best.
**[43:06] Izuko**
Koyomin, I'll have you working for me
starting tomorrow.
**[43:09] Izuko**
Everything will be over
before the graduation ceremony.
**[43:12] Izuko**
I have all of my weapons now.
**[43:14] Izuko**
Let's settle the score, Koyomin.
**[43:17] Izuko**
Strangely enough, tomorrow is White Day, right?
**[43:20] Izuko**
It's the perfect timing to end the story of this town,
where a white snake once reigned.
**[43:27] Izuko**
We're starting our counterattack!

**[00:09] Koyomi**
*I truly love Hitagi Senjyogahara.*
**[00:11] Koyomi**
*I can say so without shame.*
**[00:14] Koyomi**
* However, to think that I would actually feel*
* about someone else in this manner...*
**[00:20] Koyomi**
* ...was something that would never*
* cross my mind a year ago.*
**[00:24] Koyomi**
* To love someone else...*
* was something I feared.*
**[00:29] Koyomi**
* Then why was I so cowardly about*
* loving someone like that?*
**[00:38] Koyomi**
* That is a simple, straightforward story.*
* It was just a self-preservation instinct.*
**[00:44] Koyomi**
* I loved who I was,*
* and I was afraid of losing that.*
**[00:47] Koyomi**
*I was scared of changing.*
**[00:49] Koyomi**
*I was scared of being changed.*
**[00:56] Koyomi**
* If I don't abandon the*
* foundation of narcissism,*
**[00:59] Koyomi**
* I can't possibly love anyone*
* other than myself.*
**[01:04] Koyomi**
* For this one point, perhaps Hitagi*
* Senjyogahara feels more strongly about it than I do.*
**[01:10] Koyomi**
*And, I think that's perfectly fine.*
**[01:13] Koyomi**
*Her affection is... probably...*
**[01:15] Koyomi**
* ...too heavy a burden to*
* point just at herself.*
**[01:18] Koyomi**
* It's just about right when*
* she shares it with me.*
**[01:21] Koyomi**
*After imagining that far, I had a thought.*
**[01:24] Koyomi**
*I truly love Hitagi Senjyogahara.*
**[01:27] Koyomi**
* And I can say so without*
* shame... but in return,*
**[01:31] Koyomi**
* from some point, perhaps I*
* have lost my narcissism.*
**[01:35] Koyomi**
* Sure enough, am I able to love*
* myself just like I love her?*
**[01:41] Koyomi**
*If that is not the case...*
**[01:45] Koyomi**
*I am as good as dead as a human.*
***SIGN*** Part One
***SIGN*** March 13th
**[01:55] Hitagi**
We're going on a date.
**[01:58] Hitagi**
That's not it. That's not how it goes.
**[02:00] Koyomi**
N-Not it?
**[02:02] Hitagi**
Well, it's been quite a while since the last
time I had a proper appearance like this,
**[02:05] Hitagi**
so I've forgotten what
my character is like.
**[02:10] Hitagi**
Date me.
**[02:14] Koyomi**
I-Isn't your character straying
off course, Senjyogahara-san?
**[02:17] Hitagi**
Tomorrow. Let us use the day called
tomorrow to its full potential,
**[02:21] Hitagi**
and go on a date worth six
months' time, Araragi-kun.
**[02:23] Hitagi**
Do you understand what I am talking about?
**[02:27] Koyomi**
No, unfortunately, not at all...
**[02:29] ---**
Recording
**[02:30] Hitagi**
Then, I will explain it to you, much
like the supplementary audio channel.
**[02:35] Hitagi**
First off, thank you for all
the hard work, Araragi-kun.
**[02:37] ---**
Araragi
**[02:38] Hitagi**
You gave so much effort until today, so
even if it doesn't lead to good results,
**[02:42] Hitagi**
you shouldn't feel ashamed.
**[02:44] Hitagi**
You have already completed your mission.
**[02:46] Koyomi**
Can you stop moving along on the
premise that I don't get accepted?
**[02:49] Koyomi**
That's not kindness, but consolation.
**[02:51] Koyomi**
Don't set up foreshadowing for consolation.
I haven't said anything yet.
**[02:55] Koyomi**
It's not over until the results are out.
**[02:57] Hitagi**
No, it is already over.
**[02:59] Hitagi**
Your battle ended right here.
**[03:05] Hitagi**
And so...
**[03:06] Hitagi**
I have been voluntarily refraining
from dates for the past
**[03:09] Hitagi**
six months or so, and want to resume them.
**[03:11] Hitagi**
That is what I am desiring, Araragi-kun.
**[03:15] Hitagi**
I will use all the points I
have saved up until now.
**[03:17] Hitagi**
Strangely enough, tomorrow is
March 14th, White Day.
**[03:21] Hitagi**
It is an anniversary perfectly
suited for a date.
**[03:25] Hitagi**
You just thought how you hated
anniversaries right now, didn't you?
***SIGN*** How did that come across even when I'm silent?
***SIGN*** Can telepathy really be this one-sided?
**[03:34] Hitagi**
Our graduation ceremony is the day
after tomorrow, Araragi-kun.
***SIGN*** Monday, March 13th
**[03:37] Hitagi**
In other words, the way we are now,
**[03:39] Hitagi**
we will end our blossoming days in
high school with hardly any dates.
***SIGN*** Naoetsu High
**[03:43] Hitagi**
Isn't that just too sad a thing?
**[03:45] Koyomi**
Well, if you put it that way...
**[03:48] Hitagi**
That's why.
**[03:49] Hitagi**
We are going to go on enough
dates for the past six months'
**[03:51] Hitagi**
worth in one fell swoop
tomorrow, Araragi-kun.
**[03:53] Hitagi**
In other words, it's the
abridged "digest" version.
**[03:55] Hitagi**
We are going to execute the highlight
reel of our high school life.
**[03:58] Koyomi**
Highlight reel...?
***SIGN*** The main portion doesn't even exist - how are you going to create a digest version of it?
**[04:01] Hitagi**
I've already got the scoop
on you, Araragi-kun.
**[04:04] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[04:05] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun, your body somehow
has recovered, so I hear?
**[04:09] Koyomi**
Oh, well...
**[04:11] Hitagi**
So for you, Araragi-kun,
all your pending issues,
**[04:13] Hitagi**
both the entrance exams and your
physical body, are done, yes?
**[04:16] Hitagi**
It means that they have come
to a conclusion, right?
**[04:19] Hitagi**
Then, there should be no reason why you
should hesitate in going out on a date with me.
**[04:23] Hitagi**
If there's any time to resolve the status
of lacking dates, that time is now.
**[04:27] Koyomi**
Status of lacking dates?
**[04:30] Hitagi**
And so, you should go on a
date with me, Araragi-kun.
**[04:37] Koyomi**
I get it, Senjyogahara.
**[04:39] Koyomi**
It'll be more of the wrap-up ending
than a highlight reel...
**[04:41] Koyomi**
Let's use the day tomorrow to its fullest,
and go on six months' worth of dates.
**[04:45] Hitagi**
Oh, I'm sorry. The full day is a bit much...
**[04:49] Hitagi**
I have something I need
to do in the evening.
**[04:51] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[04:52] Hitagi**
So, it's more like early in the morning
until late afternoon, or something like that.
**[05:00] Hitagi**
It's fine. All plans are already in here.
***SIGN*** I'd be lying if I said that...
***SIGN*** ...I didn't feel a vague sense of anxiety.
**[05:07] Koyomi**
Roger, roger... Araragi, roger that.
**[05:09] Koyomi**
By the way, what's this that you
need to do in the evening?
**[05:14] Hitagi**
See, tomorrow is White Day, right?
**[05:17] Hitagi**
So I'm going out to dinner
with Father in the evening.
**[05:24] Yotsugi**
Date? Tomorrow?
**[05:26] Yotsugi**
Come on now, you should tell me
these things a bit earlier.
**[05:29] Yotsugi**
It's a bit rushed.
**[05:30] Yotsugi**
I have my own circumstances, too.
**[05:33] Yotsugi**
But well, it can't be helped.
**[05:35] Yotsugi**
This is for Devilish Big Brother's
sake. I'll somehow make some time.
**[05:38] Koyomi**
Wait, why are you speaking on the
premise that you are tagging along?
**[05:41] Koyomi**
What kind of position are you taking?
**[05:45] Yotsugi**
What is it?
**[05:46] Yotsugi**
Devilish Big Brother. Big
Demo-ther for short.
**[05:49] Yotsugi**
You are staring at my face.
**[05:51] Yotsugi**
Is there anything stuck (tsuku) on my
face? After all, I'm a Tsukumo-gami.
**[05:55] Koyomi**
Well, hold on a second.
**[05:56] Koyomi**
Ononoki-chan, I have a serious topic
to talk about. You have a moment?
**[05:59] Yotsugi**
I am always serious. I have never had any
conversation that was not serious.
**[06:03] Yotsugi**
Being serious (majime) got so bad that they
called me Grapevine Stretch (manji-gatame).
**[06:08] Yotsugi**
I see.
**[06:10] Koyomi**
Come on. You don't feel anything after
hearing tales of Tadatsuru, one of your creators?
**[06:15] Koyomi**
He told me to send you his regards.
**[06:17] Yotsugi**
Not really. I told you, right?
**[06:20] Yotsugi**
Don't ask me to harbor
such humanly emotions.
**[06:23] Yotsugi**
Even if he was dead to begin with, even if he's
immortal in some way, even if he's a living doll,
**[06:28] Yotsugi**
that doesn't change the implications
of what I have done.
**[06:31] Yotsugi**
Not for the implications
on you, Big Demo-ther.
**[06:34] Yotsugi**
However, there are other
important matters for me.
***SIGN*** I can't keep from speaking about her master, Kagenui-san.
**[06:38] Yotsugi**
Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade
has fully revived.
**[06:44] Yotsugi**
Let's hear the details about that.
**[06:47] Yotsugi**
That is something that directly
relates to my own safety.
**[06:54] Yotsugi**
I had thought she was a young
girl that were some dregs,
**[06:56] Yotsugi**
so I've been merciless with the insults.
**[06:59] Yotsugi**
But, if she is back to her complete self, I
have to alter that attitude drastically.
**[07:05] Yotsugi**
Big Demo-ther.
**[07:06] Yotsugi**
Can you teach me how to speak politely?
**[07:07] ---**
Black Scene
**[07:09] Yotsugi**
Is Heart-under-blade-sama taking a drink
(kikoshi-mesu) within that shadow?
**[07:12] Koyomi**
You're using the phrase
"kikoshi-mesu" wrong.
***SIGN*** I'm guessing that the intended question was whether or not she was lurking inside the shadow.
**[07:17] Koyomi**
No, she's not here.
**[07:21] Koyomi**
Shinobu is with Gaen-san
together with Hachikuji.
**[07:25] Koyomi**
A meeting, or rather, a discussion,
about what to do from here on.
**[07:28] Yotsugi**
"What to do from here on"
arouses my interest.
**[07:31] Yotsugi**
After all, Big Demo-ther, you finally were
able to return to being a normal guy.
**[07:35] Yotsugi**
What, are you still going to
do something from here on?
**[07:38] Yotsugi**
Even if it is exactly what Gaen-san wants?
**[07:40] Koyomi**
Well, concerning that case, I don't
think I gave a clear answer...
**[07:45] Koyomi**
Besides, there's the bit
about Kagenui-san, too.
***SIGN*** Yoduru Kagenui
***SIGN*** And—Meme Oshino. Where are they now?
**[07:51] Yotsugi**
If it's about Big Brother Oshino, isn't he
just leading his usual wandering lifestyle?
**[07:57] Koyomi**
We've gone this far to search for him, but
he's still nowhere to be found, you know?
**[08:01] Koyomi**
Even the Hanekawa is searching,
and can't find him, right?
***SIGN*** Yeah. The girl that doesn't run everything...
***SIGN*** No, that doesn't know everything.
**[08:05] Yotsugi**
It's not like that person is a professional
at finding people or anything.
**[08:09] Yotsugi**
Well, I have no intent on meddling
in how you think, Big Demo-ther.
**[08:13] Yotsugi**
By the way, in the case of Big Sister,
**[08:15] Yotsugi**
I deduce that she went on a trip to
perfect her martial arts skills.
**[08:18] Koyomi**
But Ononoki-chan, what will you do if
Kagenui-san is gone like this and never returns?
**[08:23] Koyomi**
What happens if Kagenui-san
doesn't come to pick you up?
**[08:25] Yotsugi**
In that case...
**[08:27] Yotsugi**
I guess I'd have to be
in this house forever.
**[08:29] Yotsugi**
Of course, Big Demo-ther, if you
get married and leave this house,
**[08:32] Yotsugi**
I'll tag along to wherever you go.
**[08:34] Koyomi**
Don't be putting up some
preposterous plan for your life.
**[08:36] Koyomi**
What do you mean, "of course (touzen)"?
**[08:38] Yotsugi**
Would it have been better to say
"astonishingly (gakuzen)"?
**[08:40] Yotsugi**
But still, Big Demo-ther, watching over you is
the task that I am currently assigned to do.
**[08:45] Yotsugi**
Until I am relieved of that, I can't
possibly separate myself from you.
**[08:48] Yotsugi**
In other words...
**[08:49] Yotsugi**
If Big Sister is gone like
this and never returns,
**[08:52] Yotsugi**
Big Demo-ther, you and I will
be in an eternal fellowship.
**[08:55] Koyomi**
Eternal...
***SIGN*** Back to the main story
**[08:57] Yotsugi**
By the way, Big Demo-ther.
**[09:00] Yotsugi**
By the way, by the way, Big Demo-ther.
**[09:02] Yotsugi**
How in the world did those
college entrance exams go?
**[09:04] Koyomi**
Well, I did what I could. You did take
care of me, so thank you for that.
**[09:09] Yotsugi**
You're welcome.
**[09:10] Yotsugi**
Were the results being announced after the
graduation ceremony, or beforehand?
**[09:13] Koyomi**
After.
**[09:15] Yotsugi**
Hmm, then it may be a good idea to
have the date sooner than later.
**[09:19] Yotsugi**
After all, it'd be hard to go out
after one of the two gets rejected.
**[09:24] Koyomi**
* I would like to think Senjyogahara didn't set*
* the date to be tomorrow from such an intent...*
**[09:34] Tsukihi**
Big Brother!
**[09:35] Tsukihi**
You took one of the plushies from
my room again, didn't you!?
**[09:38] Tsukihi**
Oh!
**[09:40] Tsukihi**
Here it is! Just as I thought!
**[09:41] Tsukihi**
Geez, stop it already. Don't enter
my room without permission!
**[09:44] Tsukihi**
You have it lying on your bed and stuff.
**[09:46] Tsukihi**
You weren't using it for weird things
or anything, were you, Big Brother?
**[09:49] Tsukihi**
This is my precious plushie.
**[09:51] Koyomi**
No, it wouldn't even be exaggerating
if I said I was entertaining it...
**[09:55] Tsukihi**
I'm not the type that has a
lot of plushies and stuff.
**[09:59] Tsukihi**
But for some reason, I feel sympathy
for this particular plushie.
**[10:03] Tsukihi**
That's why I've told you again and
again that you can't take it out!
**[10:07] Koyomi**
Sympathy, huh?
**[10:09] Tsukihi**
Big Brother, you were home.
**[10:11] Tsukihi**
Now that entrance exams are over,
you can play as much as you want!
**[10:15] Tsukihi**
Big Brother is going to be in
college from next month, huh?
**[10:18] Tsukihi**
That's cause for celebration! I'll
prepare for a celebration!
**[10:21] Tsukihi**
Tonight, we'll gather all the neighborhood
middle school girls, and have a party!
**[10:24] Koyomi**
So optimistic...
**[10:25] Koyomi**
Hm... That's not a bad proposal,
**[10:28] Koyomi**
but unfortunately, I already have
an appointment for tomorrow.
**[10:30] Koyomi**
But, if it's sometime this month,
I can manage to make some time.
**[10:34] Tsukihi**
Oh, Big Brother, you've gained
some composure now.
**[10:38] Tsukihi**
Until a short while ago,
**[10:39] Tsukihi**
when your little sister invited you to go
play, you just punched her on the spot.
**[10:43] Koyomi**
Was I that raging a big brother?
**[10:45] Tsukihi**
Then, we'll say sometime this month.
**[10:47] Koyomi**
Yeah. I'll leave you to do the planning.
**[10:50] Tsukihi**
I see, but Big Brother's going on a date
with Senjyogahara-san tomorrow, huh.
**[10:55] Tsukihi**
I'm jealous that you're so lovey-dovey..
**[10:57] Tsukihi**
I've been dating Rousokuzawa-kun for so
long that we've basically settled down.
**[11:02] Tsukihi**
Or rather, he invited me to go
out somewhere for White Day...
**[11:04] Tsukihi**
...but for some reason or
another, I declined.
**[11:07] Koyomi**
Wait, huh? Did I tell you that my prior
appointment was with Senjyogahara?
**[11:12] Tsukihi**
I can tell even if you didn't tell me.
**[11:14] Tsukihi**
A prior appointment on March 14th means that
it's with a lover, or with Einstein.
**[11:19] Koyomi**
If it was with Einstein, that
would be a huge deal!
**[11:24] Koyomi**
Well, you're right.
**[11:25] Tsukihi**
All right, then tomorrow I'll
go visit Nadeko-chan.
**[11:31] Tsukihi**
She got released from the hospital, but
she's still resting up back at home.
**[11:35] Tsukihi**
Apparently, she'll start going
to school in the new term.
**[11:38] Tsukihi**
I'm sure she's lonely if she's
cooped up all alone in the house,
**[11:40] Tsukihi**
so I should go over and be really rowdy!
**[11:43] Koyomi**
You're going there pretty often.
**[11:46] Koyomi**
To be honest, it's unexpected.
**[11:47] Koyomi**
Even if you said you were friends,
**[11:49] Koyomi**
you and Sengoku didn't give me an image
that you were that good friends.
**[11:53] Tsukihi**
That's not true. We're
totally best friends!
**[11:58] Tsukihi**
She told me a secret the other day, too.
**[12:01] Koyomi**
A secret? What's that?
**[12:03] Tsukihi**
It's a secret, so of course
I won't tell you.
**[12:06] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[12:08] Tsukihi**
Now, now... Leave Nadeko-chan to me,
**[12:11] Tsukihi**
and Big Brother, you can just go
lovey-dovey with Senjyogahara-san!

Black Scene
**[12:34] Hitagi**
Welcome to a wonderful today.
**[12:37] Hitagi**
I tried to be conscious of
the old Hanekawa-san.
**[12:40] Koyomi**
Your sense of friendship
is a bit too big a burden...
**[12:43] Hitagi**
Even for you, Araragi-kun,
**[12:45] Hitagi**
doesn't it make you happier if I got myself
closer to what Hanekawa-san is like?
**[12:50] Koyomi**
That's another heavy statement there...
**[12:52] Hitagi**
Now, let's go. I have to
be back here by 7:00PM.
**[12:57] Hitagi**
I can't be late for my appointment with
Father, so we have to hurry things a bit..
**[13:01] Hitagi**
We don't have a moment to spare!
**[13:03] Koyomi**
Um, can you not have your dinner with
your father tonight be your main event for today?
**[13:08] Koyomi**
It's okay if it's the main event for you,
**[13:09] Koyomi**
but please don't bring it to words.
**[13:12] Hitagi**
Heh.
**[13:13] Hitagi**
Then, why don't you quiet
me down with a kiss?
**[13:20] Hitagi**
Now, go into the passenger seat.
**[13:23] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[13:25] Koyomi**
Eeh?
**[13:26] Koyomi**
Eeeeehh?
**[13:28] Koyomi**
Waitgahara-san,
**[13:29] Koyomi**
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
**[13:31] Koyomi**
Perhaps it may be, but can it be that
you're driving the car today!?
**[13:37] Koyomi**
You're going to be controlling
the steering wheel?
**[13:39] Koyomi**
Hitagi Drivergahara!?
**[13:42] Hitagi**
Ta-dee-dah!
***SIGN*** Name: Hitagi Senjyogahara
***SIGN*** Valid Until August 7th
**[13:45] Hitagi**
Hehe, were you surprised?
**[13:47] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun, while you were feverishly
studying for entrance exams,
**[13:50] Hitagi**
I was also studying hard for the exam
to obtain a driver's license, too.
**[13:56] Hitagi**
Got it on the first shot.
**[13:59] Koyomi**
Y-Y-You know your school rules!?
**[14:02] Koyomi**
Not only would acceptance to a college
by recommendation be cancelled,
**[14:05] Koyomi**
this level of barbarism will cast
shadows on graduation, too.
**[14:08] Koyomi**
In the first place, Senjyogahara,
why did you do such a thing?
**[14:12] Hitagi**
I mean, I didn't have to go
to school for the third term,
**[14:15] Hitagi**
so I was bored, so bored,
that I couldn't help it.
***SIGN*** An idle brain is the devil's shop.
**[14:19] Hitagi**
Besides, see? Araragi-kun, you probably wouldn't
be able to obtain a driver's license,
**[14:22] ---**
so I thought I'd get ahead.
**[14:27] Hitagi**
Well, in the end that turned out to be
unnecessary anxiety for me, it seems.
**[14:32] ---**
Photo Booth
**[14:32] Koyomi**
Until yesterday, one symptom of the physical
advancement of my vampiric nature...
**[14:36] Koyomi**
...caused me to not show
up in photographs.
***SIGN*** Test #
**[14:40] Koyomi**
That means I would not be able to have
a driver's license issued to me...
***SIGN*** Name: Koyomi Araragi
**[14:44] Koyomi**
And so for that aspect, Senjyogahara was
being attentive in her own way, I guess.
**[14:49] Koyomi**
When I think about it that way, it was
misconduct that was hard for me to scold her for.
**[14:53] ---**
Black Scene
**[14:53] Koyomi**
No, wait, that just can't be.
**[14:55] Koyomi**
Don't think that I'd get
moved by emotions.
**[14:58] Koyomi**
I won't be moved by affection, either.
**[15:02] Koyomi**
If you become unable to graduate, that
would mean you had the wrong priorities.
**[15:05] Hitagi**
If that happens, I'll break
up with you, Araragi-kun,
**[15:07] Hitagi**
and be chummy with Kanbaru,
so I'll be fine.
**[15:10] Koyomi**
Don't nonchalantly say that
you'll break up with me.
**[15:12] Koyomi**
And Kanbaru would surely get
slightly bewildered by that,
**[15:14] Koyomi**
if she ends up in the same class as you.
**[15:17] Hitagi**
I think she'd rejoice
in a carefree manner.
**[15:22] Koyomi**
It seems like I'm the one
that has to compromise.
**[15:26] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun, you're the one that needs
to remember to fasten your seatbelt.
**[15:31] Koyomi**
Yeah, I know...
**[15:33] Koyomi**
I don't have enough courage to ride with someone
who just got their license without a seatbelt.
**[15:37] Koyomi**
Normally I'm called a raging bull,
but for today, I'm a chicken.
***SIGN*** BABY ON BOARD
**[15:41] Koyomi**
If possible, I'd even like
to be in a child-seat.
**[15:46] Koyomi**
So, where is our destination?
**[15:49] Hitagi**
The planetarium.
**[15:52] Koyomi**
Planetarium?
**[15:54] Hitagi**
Yes. Planetarium.
**[16:23] Hitagi**
Oh, by the way, Araragi-kun.
**[16:25] Hitagi**
I received a phone call from
Hanekawa-san last night.
**[16:27] Koyomi**
Eh? Really?
**[16:29] Hitagi**
Yes. It was something about somehow being
able to make it back for graduation.
**[16:33] Koyomi**
I see...
**[16:37] Koyomi**
It feels like I haven't seen Hanekawa
in quite a long time now.
**[16:43] Koyomi**
What? That means that she called
you, but she didn't call me?
**[16:49] Hitagi**
Right.
**[16:50] Hitagi**
I wonder why Hanekawa-san
didn't call Araragi-kun.
**[16:54] Hitagi**
Perhaps it was because I told her
that I'll tell you for her.
**[16:59] Koyomi**
No other reason can be thought of!
***SIGN*** "Tsubasa Hanekawa-sama, The weather has been warming up lately. How have you been doing? I have acknowledged your intent to attend the Naoetsu High School Graduation Ceremony on 3/14. I am very pleased that we will be able to share in the joy of that day together. (Excised) Note that I will tell all parties involved, particularly Koyomi Araragi, about this, so no need to worry. (Excised) So Please do not contact Koyomi Araragi yourself. Thank you. PS: Please do not called Araragi-kun Directly"
**[17:01] Hitagi**
Specifically, it might be because I asked
her to not call you, Araragi-kun.
**[17:05] Koyomi**
You went that far? You said something that
specific? Why did you do such a thing?
***SIGN*** Petition
***SIGN*** Petition
***SIGN*** Petition
**[17:11] Hitagi**
Oh, that's right. I had been given a message
by Hanekawa-san to convey to you.
**[17:15] Koyomi**
Convey?
***SIGN*** That's some mysterious polite talk.
**[17:17] Hitagi**
She said she found Oshino-san.
**[17:20] Koyomi**
Hmm...
**[17:21] Koyomi**
Huh!?
**[17:25] Koyomi**
Seriously?
**[17:26] Hitagi**
Seriously.
**[17:27] Hitagi**
Well, to be precise, the story was that she
found out where Oshino-san was hiding...
**[17:32] Hitagi**
Though, I don't remember it too well.
**[17:34] Koyomi**
I beg of you, please remember.
Give it everything you got.
**[17:39] Hitagi**
Though, she said after many deductions,
**[17:41] Hitagi**
Oshino-san's possible whereabouts were
narrowed down to two locations.
**[17:45] Koyomi**
Two locations?
**[17:46] Hitagi**
Yes. I wasn't interested so I didn't ask about the
details. But that's definitely what she had said.
**[17:52] Hitagi**
I wonder what it was.
**[17:56] Hitagi**
She said it was the reverse.
**[17:58] Koyomi**
Reverse?
**[17:59] Hitagi**
Yes. That her approach was the reverse.
**[18:02] Koyomi**
Reverse? What does that mean?
**[18:05] Hitagi**
She was making remarks such as
"This is a pen" or something.
**[18:08] Koyomi**
Making remarks?
**[18:10] Koyomi**
"This is a pen"?
***SIGN*** There is much to think about,
***SIGN*** and I'm still worried,
***SIGN*** but it seems there's nothing I can do in my current state.
**[18:17] Koyomi**
What other stuff did you
talk about with Hanekawa?
**[18:20] Koyomi**
Did she say anything other
than the bit about Oshino?
**[18:22] Hitagi**
Let's see. I consulted with her
about my plans for today's date.
**[18:26] Hitagi**
I'll confess.
**[18:28] Hitagi**
Actually, it was Hanekawa-san's
idea that it would be good
**[18:30] Hitagi**
to first head over to a planetarium.
**[18:32] Koyomi**
Is that so?
**[18:34] Hitagi**
Personally, a planetarium is a place
where I frequently go to begin with.
**[18:38] Hitagi**
So, for me, it doesn't feel like
much of a special event.
**[18:42] Hitagi**
But, it's rather stylish to go
together with you, Araragi-kun.
**[18:46] Koyomi**
Hmm... But, that said, wouldn't it be a date
that's lacking in amusement for you?
**[18:52] Hitagi**
Well, when I go to a planetarium,
it's not for leisure,
**[18:56] Hitagi**
and the side about learning
something tends to kick in...
**[18:59] Hitagi**
Once in a while, I'd like to head into seeing
artificial stars without mentally preparing to do so.
**[19:03] Hitagi**
It's not a case where I lack enthusiasm,
either. So, rest assured in that aspect as well.
**[19:07] Koyomi**
The side about learning
something? Oh, I see.
**[19:11] Koyomi**
You were rather acrobatic for
being a student at our school...
**[19:15] Koyomi**
in selecting geoscience for
your science elective.
***SIGN*** I must say, I don't even know what people study in the field of geoscience...
***SIGN*** For Senjyogahara, who cherishes memories of going to the observatory with her family when she was young,
***SIGN*** it seems that she has special emotions invested into celestial bodies after all.
**[19:24] Koyomi**
I want to know something.
**[19:26] Koyomi**
Senjyogahara, what do you
study in geoscience?
**[19:29] Koyomi**
It's not like you simply learn all
about celestial bodies, right?
**[19:33] Hitagi**
To be precise, it's an abbreviated
form of "earth sciences".
***SIGN*** Earth Sciences
**[19:37] Hitagi**
In other words, we mainly learn about
Earth as a celestial body, I guess.
**[19:41] Hitagi**
I can't help it that my fascination points
towards the entire universe, though.
**[19:46] Hitagi**
Someday, I'd like to draw the perfect space
map, and be dubbed Tadataka Inou the Second.
**[19:51] Hitagi**
That's my dream.
**[19:52] Koyomi**
Tadataka Inou the Second...
**[19:55] Hitagi**
That is what I want to do in college.
***SIGN*** This is the first I've heard of this.
***SIGN*** But my girlfriend is striving to become an astronaut...
***SIGN*** Is that for real?
**[20:00] Koyomi**
More like, what's a space
map? Such a thing exists?
**[20:05] Hitagi**
Most of space is a vacuum,
and galaxies, groups of stars,
**[20:09] Hitagi**
are sporadically placed in it.
**[20:12] Hitagi**
Probability-wise, it seems like stars are
dispersed equally within the vacuum,
**[20:17] Hitagi**
but in reality nothing like that happens.
**[20:19] Hitagi**
The stars clump up, and exist
terribly out of balance.
**[20:22] Hitagi**
Drawing that into a diagram
is a space map.
**[20:26] Hitagi**
Perhaps stars are like people,
and easily feels loneliness.
**[20:33] Koyomi**
You talk like this is a lesson,
**[20:34] Koyomi**
but I've never seen an actual space map, so
it just doesn't click with me at all...
**[20:39] Hitagi**
By the way, a space map is not a square like
a map of the world, or a map of Japan.
**[20:45] Hitagi**
It's in the shape of a hand fan (ougi).
**[20:49] Koyomi**
Ougi...
**[20:50] Koyomi**
To that word, I... don't react.
***SIGN*** Part Two
**[21:07] Ougi**
Yes, yes, hello there, Araragi-senpai.
**[21:11] Ougi**
This is Ougi Oshino.
**[21:12] Ougi**
Now today, we will be studying
about constellations.
**[21:17] Koyomi**
* I realized right away*
* that this was a dream.*
**[21:23] Ougi**
For Araragi-senpai, who lives in Japan, the
constellations in the southern skies may be difficult.
**[21:29] Ougi**
Though my rival, Hanekawa-senpai, may perhaps
be looking at them now from around Australia.
**[21:36] Ougi**
No, but really,
**[21:37] Ougi**
the southern hemisphere has many unfamiliar
constellations, so it is amusing.
**[21:42] Ougi**
There is Chameleon over that way.
**[21:45] Ougi**
There's also Pictor (easel) and Vela (sail).
**[21:48] Ougi**
There's even a constellation
called Hydrus (water snake).
***SIGN*** Water Snake
***SIGN*** Snake—with a "water" radical
**[21:52] Ougi**
I guess it's what we would call
the Hydra (sea snake).
**[21:56] Ougi**
Surely you know of this one, the Hydra?
**[21:59] Ougi**
It's the biggest of the 88 constellations.
**[22:03] Ougi**
Though, it's difficult to determine how the
size of a constellation is measured.
**[22:11] Ougi**
When you think of it three-dimensionally,
it pretty much falls apart.
**[22:14] Ougi**
However, the presence
that this Hydra has...
**[22:18] Ougi**
...reminds one of Kiss-shot
Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
**[22:25] Ougi**
They call the creature
in Hydra a "sea snake",
**[22:28] Ougi**
but it actually points to
the legendary hydras.
**[22:32] Ougi**
Do you know what a hydra is?
**[22:33] Ougi**
It's not an exaggeration
to say it's immortal.
**[22:36] Ougi**
It's a monster that keeps regenerating
no matter how much you cut off.
**[22:40] Ougi**
The one that defeats that hydra is
the famous, courageous Heracles.
**[22:47] Ougi**
You probably cannot defeat Kiss-shot
Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade with this method,
**[22:53] Ougi**
but he chopped the nine heads
of the hydra one by one,
**[22:56] Ougi**
and burnt the cut sections shut with a
flame to prevent them from regenerating.
**[23:02] Ougi**
As a side note, during this fight
between Heracles and the hydra,
**[23:06] Ougi**
the crab from Cancer sided with the
hydra and attacked Heracles.
**[23:12] Ougi**
It used its big claws you know
of to cut at Heracles.
**[23:16] Ougi**
Its attitude of challenging a giant
enemy with a small weapon is,
**[23:19] Ougi**
in fact, Senjyogahara-senpai herself.
**[23:22] Ougi**
When you awaken, please tell
Senjyogahara-senpai about this episode,
**[23:27] Ougi**
so that you can be well-liked.
**[23:30] Ougi**
Serpens, the one that isn't Hydra,
**[23:33] Ougi**
is also a symbol of immortality,
though not as much as the hydra.
**[23:38] Ougi**
After all, Serpens has a special
characteristic that you can say
**[23:42] Ougi**
is unique among all 88
constellations in the sky.
**[23:46] Ougi**
Do you know what it is, Araragi-senpai?
***SIGN*** I don't know.
**[23:51] Koyomi**
*Does Ougi-chan know what it is?*
**[23:54] Ougi**
I don't know anything.
**[23:56] Ougi**
It's what you know, Araragi-senpai.
**[24:02] Ougi**
In reality, you should know what it is.
**[24:05] Ougi**
See, like this.
**[24:07] Ougi**
Serpens is the only constellation that exists
split up into the eastern and western parts.
**[24:12] Ougi**
As a snake... It has been chopped up.
**[24:15] Ougi**
This clearly shows immortality.
**[24:18] Ougi**
It's still alive despite its
body chopped in half.
***SIGN*** Well, Araragi-senpai, you seem to have your body chopped into half rather often as well.
**[24:23] Ougi**
Actually, in the gap where it is split up, a
different constellation has been drawn in.
**[24:30] Ougi**
I'm sure you know of it, Araragi-senpai,
but it's Ophiuchus (snake charmer).
**[24:35] Ougi**
The picture depicts the snake charmer
holding the upper and lower halves...
**[24:38] Ougi**
...of the snake's body with his left
and right arms, respectively.
**[24:43] Koyomi**
If I recall, that snake charmer was
Asklepios, dubbed the sage physician?
***SIGN*** Sage physician
**[24:49] Ougi**
That's right. Nothing less from you,
Araragi-senpai. You really have extensive knowledge.
**[24:54] Ougi**
Asklepios' medical skills were
honed remarkably quickly,
**[24:57] Ougi**
and it got to a point where he
could even resurrect the dead.
**[25:02] Ougi**
However, that was going too far.
**[25:05] Ougi**
Going too far. Against the rules.
**[25:07] Ougi**
I guess you could say it went
against the logic of the world.
**[25:10] Ougi**
Bringing forth anger of Hades
the god of the underworld,
**[25:12] Ougi**
Asklepios was struck by lightning
and literally sent to heaven.
**[25:18] Ougi**
Well, bringing a person back to life -- to
mass-produce immortals -- is quite the sin.
**[25:25] Ougi**
Yotsugi Ononoki-chan is also among those
who were resurrected after death, but...
***SIGN*** Tadatsuru Teori
**[25:32] Ougi**
All parties responsible for
her resurrection faced retaliation...
***SIGN*** Yoduru Kagenui
***SIGN*** Meme Oshino
***SIGN*** Deishu Kaiki
**[25:38] Ougi**
...and had curses placed
upon their bodies.
***SIGN*** Hm? What's this about?
***SIGN*** Curses?
**[25:42] Ougi**
If that's the case, what's
going to happen?
**[25:44] Ougi**
What kind of penalty will Gaen-san pay in the
future for reviving Araragi-senpai from hell?
***SIGN*** Izuko Gaen
**[25:52] Ougi**
Ha-hah...
**[25:54] Koyomi**
Ougi-chan, if you're going to sit
down, sit on my left side.
**[25:56] Ougi**
Hmm? Why is that?
**[25:59] Koyomi**
That's Senjyogahara's seat.
**[26:02] Ougi**
My oh my, that is not a cheap seat.
**[26:05] Ougi**
Well, please don't worry.
**[26:07] Ougi**
I have never had any intentions of taking
over the throne of the main heroine.
**[26:11] Ougi**
I wouldn't mind striving to be a
"little sister" character...
**[26:16] Ougi**
But, Karen-chan aside, I wouldn't want
to compete against Tsukihi-chan.
**[26:22] Koyomi**
*She is... Her true identity is...*
**[26:28] Koyomi**
*Tadatsuru Teori said it.*
**[26:30] Koyomi**
*He told me at the bottom of hell.*
**[26:33] Koyomi**
* He mentioned the name of the client who*
* requested him to exterminate me and Shinobu...*
**[26:39] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai. What do you
think is the right thing?
***SIGN*** Oh no, you don't have to think too seriously about it.
**[26:45] Ougi**
It is difficult to be
doing the right thing.
**[26:48] Ougi**
It is especially difficult to
do "just the right thing."
**[26:53] Ougi**
If you try to do the right thing, you
end up also having to do attachments,
**[26:57] Ougi**
wrong things or things that are not right.
**[27:01] Ougi**
So that's why, Araragi-senpai.
***SIGN*** To win, there is an absolute need to lose somewhere along the way.
**[27:04] Ougi**
As long as you are being the right self,
you should not be doing the right thing.
**[27:09] Ougi**
In the end, if a mistake always accompanies
you when you try to do the right thing,
**[27:13] Ougi**
and if that's the case...
**[27:15] Ougi**
In the end it all balances out to zero.
**[27:19] Ougi**
Therefore, the way of life that Kagenui-san
and the Fire Sisters practice
**[27:24] Ougi**
is something they claim to be justice.
**[27:27] Ougi**
But, it is not necessarily
"doing the right thing."
**[27:30] Ougi**
To stay the right selves, they
do not do the right thing,
***SIGN*** MISTAKES
**[27:35] Ougi**
but correct mistakes...
***SIGN*** INJUSTICE
**[27:36] Ougi**
... and correct injustice. That is
the way of life they choose.
***SIGN*** EXAMINE (tadasu)
**[27:40] Ougi**
Examine (tadasu)...
**[27:41] Ougi**
...or Inquire a question (toi-tadasu),
I guess you could say.

**[27:44] Ougi**
In other words, your foe's foe is not your
ally, but by becoming a foe against evil,
**[27:50] Ougi**
by becoming the antonym to evil, you
assign yourself justice, so to say.
**[27:55] Ougi**
And I am also one that seeks the type
of "right" that corrects mistakes.
**[28:05] Ougi**
It is my role to eject those
that have broken the rules.
***SIGN*** TO SCATTER (kakusan)
**[28:09] Koyomi**
*Broken the rules...*
***SIGN*** TO DISPERSE (musan)
**[28:10] Koyomi**
*...ejection.*
**[28:12] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai, the program
is about to end.
**[28:16] Ougi**
It's better for you to
wake up now, isn't it?
**[28:20] Ougi**
You should at least continue to enjoy
**[28:22] Ougi**
the rest of your date with the
person you're in love with.
**[28:26] Ougi**
But, since you have the
chance, Araragi-senpai...
**[28:29] Ougi**
Please think about the answer to
the question of what you think
**[28:32] Ougi**
is the right thing when you
have to kill some time.
**[28:34] Ougi**
Let's talk about it again when
I see you in real life.
***SIGN*** Yeah, I got it.
***SIGN*** If I still remember when I wake up.
**[28:40] Koyomi**
But really, what in the world
is your true identity?
**[28:43] Ougi**
That too will be discussed
the next time I see you.
**[28:48] Ougi**
But well, if I were to force myself to
say what I can say at this moment...
**[28:52] Ougi**
I am...
**[28:54] Ougi**
...the principles of the universe.
**[28:56] Koyomi**
*Space map...*
**[28:58] Koyomi**
*...in the shape of a hand fan (ougi).*
**[28:59] Koyomi**
* Pitch black vacuum...*
* and unbalanced galaxies.*
**[29:03] Ougi**
Don't think about this too hard, either.
**[29:06] Ougi**
Now that you came back from hell, and returned
to being completely human, Araragi-senpai...
**[29:10] Ougi**
Surprisingly enough, I may no longer have to be
concerned with you anymore... if things go well.
**[29:17] Ougi**
So, please.
**[29:18] Ougi**
I beg of you, don't get suckered
into Gaen-san's slick talk.
**[29:22] Ougi**
Concerning Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
Heart-under-blade now in her complete form,
**[29:27] Ougi**
or Mayoi Hachikuji who has,
after resting in peace, returned again,
**[29:30] Ougi**
got lost again, within this world...
**[29:33] Ougi**
This time, I expect, from
the bottom of my heart,
**[29:36] Ougi**
that you'll make the right
decision to forsake them...
**[29:40] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai.
***SIGN*** I woke up.
***SIGN*** I woke up?
**[29:52] Koyomi**
Senjyogahara....
**[29:58] Hitagi**
I'm not asleep.
**[30:00] Hitagi**
I'm not asleep at all.
**[30:02] Hitagi**
I'm not asleep at all. I was just
thinking with my eyes shut.
**[30:08] Hitagi**
I'm sorry. I was actually asleep.
**[30:11] Koyomi**
It's fine. I was asleep for a bit, too.
**[30:15] Hitagi**
I see. I guess it means
we were both tired?
**[30:20] Hitagi**
I guess it was too hasty to go on a date
after we only decided on it yesterday.
**[30:27] Koyomi**
So, what kind of plans did
you have after this?
**[30:32] Hitagi**
We're going to learn the state-of-the-art
science at the adjoining science museum.
**[30:36] Hitagi**
After doing a tour of the science
museum, we'll have lunch.
**[30:39] Hitagi**
The plan was to study during the morning,
**[30:40] ---**
Floor Map
**[30:41] Hitagi**
so I have mainly leisurely activities
planned for the afternoon.
**[30:44] Hitagi**
We'll go out to the city by car, and
spend the first half bowling.
**[30:47] Hitagi**
After a bit of tea time, we'll spend
the second half singing karaoke.
**[30:50] Koyomi**
Oh...
**[30:51] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun, what's your
high score in bowling?
**[30:54] Koyomi**
Well, I'm a novice at bowling altogether,
like I don't think I've ever played before.
**[30:59] Hitagi**
Got it. There will be a
penalty on the loser.
**[31:02] Koyomi**
Don't set up a penalty after it came
to light that I'm a novice!
**[31:05] Hitagi**
The loser must swear absolute
obedience to the winner.
**[31:10] Koyomi**
That's a really harsh penalty!
**[31:46] Hitagi**
Dammit... To think that Araragi-kun
would actually lie to me...
**[31:50] Hitagi**
You're not a novice at all.

**[32:23] Hitagi**
Fine. I will admit defeat.
**[32:26] Hitagi**
You can order me to do anything.
**[32:29] Hitagi**
So, I wonder what kind of lewd
request will you make of me?
**[32:33] Hitagi**
My anticipation only heightens.
**[32:36] Koyomi**
Just for reference, if you
had won, Senjyogahara,
**[32:39] Koyomi**
what kind of request were
you going to make?
**[32:41] Hitagi**
I was going to make a lewd
request, of course!
**[32:48] Koyomi**
* I struck a deal with something like, "Then*
* let's walk arm-in-arm until our tea time."*
**[32:55] Hitagi**
Hmm... To think that you were having an adventure of
that sort on the actual day of the entrance exams.
**[33:00] Hitagi**
It's unexpected, but it's so
fitting for you, Araragi-kun...
**[33:03] Hitagi**
Though, I have to ask, what in
the world were you doing?
**[33:07] Hitagi**
it's unclear exactly what Gaen-san
is fighting against...
**[33:10] Hitagi**
But perhaps you, Araragi-kun, are
the opponent of that battle.
**[33:17] Hitagi**
No, it's more of a hunch than any meaning.
**[33:20] Hitagi**
Compared to your stance, Araragi-kun, where you
can only see what is right in front of your eyes,
**[33:23] Hitagi**
that macroscopic stance Gaen-san takes would
clash no matter how you look at it.
**[33:28] Hitagi**
Clash... or oppose, if you want
a slightly harsher term.
**[33:35] Hitagi**
We'll duke it out for two hours, and
the one who loses in total points...
***SIGN*** Karaoke

**[33:52] Hitagi**
An 82...
**[33:53] Hitagi**
Lies.
**[33:54] Hitagi**
82 percent is a failing score. This is the
first time I've ever scored in the low eighties.
**[34:00] Koyomi**
* What kind of test is it if 82*
* percent is a failing score?*
**[34:03] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun, you spent the majority of your
high school career feeling like this?
**[34:07] Hitagi**
I was not able to understand it at all.
**[34:09] Hitagi**
I was supposed to be a lot kinder to you.
**[34:12] Hitagi**
What kind of horrible things have
I been saying to Araragi-kun?
**[34:15] Koyomi**
* You're saying those horrible*
* things right now.*
***SIGN*** Song: chocolate
***SIGN*** Setting: original key

***SIGN*** Loser - Red 819 RESULTS Winner - White 822
**[34:31] Koyomi**
*And once again, I was the winner.*
**[34:34] Hitagi**
Impossible... To think that I would lose
against Araragi-kun twice in one day.
**[34:40] Hitagi**
Now, feel free to give
me any order you want.
**[34:44] Hitagi**
How about you carry me to
our car like a princess?
**[34:49] Hitagi**
I'll kill you if you say I'm heavy.
**[34:54] Hitagi**
Nothing less from you, Araragi-kun.
**[34:56] Hitagi**
It shows that you're used to cradling young
girls in your arms in everyday life.
***SIGN*** That particular expression leads to misunderstandings.
***SIGN*** I'd like you to stop that.

**[35:02] Hitagi**
Whew. That was embarrassing.
**[35:05] Hitagi**

**[35:07] Koyomi**
*You'd go that far?*
***SIGN*** MORE HELLISH THAN HELL
**[35:18] Koyomi**
Senjyogahara....
**[35:20] Koyomi**
I have something important to talk about.
**[35:22] Hitagi**
If it's a request to get
married, I'm okay with it.
**[35:24] Koyomi**
No, it's not that important a topic.
**[35:27] Koyomi**
And that was way too instant a reply.
***SIGN*** IT TURNED INTO A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
**[35:30] Koyomi**
Actually, it's about a gift in return for the
chocolate I received for Valentine's Day...
**[35:34] Koyomi**
I haven't been able to get one ready.
**[35:36] Koyomi**
I'm sorry. I didn't have
time to get one ready.
**[35:39] Koyomi**
In thinking of what to get,
I thought way too much.
***SIGN*** HONEST MAN
**[35:42] Koyomi**
So, can you wait two or three more days?
***SIGN*** THINKING TOO MUCH
**[35:46] Koyomi**
Of course, I'll tack on the interest
accrued during that period.
**[35:49] Hitagi**
What, you were worried about such a thing?
**[35:52] Hitagi**
It was enough for me that you went on
a date with me the whole day today.
**[35:57] Hitagi**
It's fine for you to just give me
something when you feel like it.
**[35:59] Hitagi**
It wasn't like I made that chocolate
expecting to receive something in return.
**[36:12] Hitagi**
Araragi-kun.
**[36:13] Hitagi**
It's unforgivable.
**[36:15] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[36:15] Hitagi**
I can't hardly believe that, on White Day,
one of the three big events of the year for couples,
**[36:19] Hitagi**
you don't have anything
prepared for your lover?
**[36:22] Hitagi**
I have to doubt that you have
any affection towards me.
**[36:25] Koyomi**
Eh? Ehh?
**[36:29] Hitagi**
All day today, I was wondering exactly what
kind of surprise Araragi-kun had prepared for me.
**[36:33] Hitagi**
My heart was racing, and I was so excited...
But you didn't have anything ready.
**[36:38] Hitagi**
What a sidestep that was!
**[36:40] Hitagi**
I had assumed that you would get me a
cruiser or something as a present.
**[36:45] Koyomi**
I-Isn't that expectation a bit too
mega-sized, don't you think?
**[36:48] Hitagi**
Oh, brother. I wonder if I
should just kill myself.
**[36:53] Koyomi**
I-I'm sorry. That's why I'm apologizing.
**[36:57] Koyomi**
Please don't commit suicide.
**[37:00] Koyomi**
T-Then, what can I do for
you to forgive me?
**[37:03] Koyomi**
I can't get you a cruiser, but
I'll do whatever I can-
**[37:06] Hitagi**
Did you just say you'll
do whatever you can?
**[37:09] Hitagi**
Did you say absolute obedience?
**[37:13] Koyomi**
N-No, I didn't say that...
**[37:18] Koyomi**
I did, I did! Indeed, I did say "absolute
obedience" with these lips!
**[37:24] Hitagi**
I see. Nothing less from you,
Araragi-kun. Such a generous heart.
**[37:28] Hitagi**
You really are the man
I fell in love with.
**[37:30] Hitagi**
I've fallen in love with you over again.
**[37:32] Hitagi**
You don't know what I'm
going to request of you,
**[37:35] Hitagi**
but you're willing to be absolutely obedient
to my requests for the rest of your life.
**[37:38] Koyomi**
The rest of my life!?
**[37:41] Koyomi**
S-Sure. The rest of my life.
**[37:44] Koyomi**
I got it. What should I do?
**[37:48] Hitagi**
Call my name.
**[37:52] Hitagi**
Call me... by my name.
**[37:55] Koyomi**
Eh?
**[37:56] Koyomi**
I do call you. "Senjyogahara."
**[37:59] Hitagi**
Not that. My first name,
with no honorifics.
**[38:06] Koyomi**
* So that's why she tried to set up a*
* penalty for bowling and karaoke.*
**[38:12] Koyomi**
* If it wasn't for an opportunity like this, it may*
* have been something I'd have never been able to say.*
**[38:17] Koyomi**
* Absolute obedience for*
* the rest of my life.*
**[38:20] Koyomi**
* Calling her by that name for*
* the rest of my life.*
**[38:25] Koyomi**
...Hitagi.
**[38:29] Hitagi**
Thank you... Koyomi.
***SIGN*** ARARAGI
**[40:12] Ougi**
Hello, Araragi-senpai.
**[40:14] Ougi**
I've been waiting for you.
**[40:15] Ougi**
I've gotten tired of waiting.
**[40:17] Ougi**
I got exhausted just by waiting.
**[40:20] Ougi**
How was it?
**[40:21] Ougi**
Did you enjoy your last date
with Senjyogahara-senpai?
**[40:25] Ougi**
At the least, I was being considerate and
avoided butting in over on the physical world.
**[40:30] Ougi**
I'd like you to be appreciative of that.
**[40:32] Koyomi**
I will be appreciative.
**[40:34] Koyomi**
But, how you said "the last date"
creates misunderstanding.
**[40:37] Koyomi**
It was merely the last date
of my high school life.
**[40:41] Ougi**
So is it? Yes, that would be nice if it is...
It'd be nice if the two of you had a future.
**[40:50] Koyomi**
Ougi-chan. Did you try to exterminate me?
**[40:53] Koyomi**
You asked a specialist to do such a thing?
**[40:56] Ougi**
Oh, you heard from someone...
of such false rumors?
**[41:01] Ougi**
But still, that is a sad false alarm...
**[41:04] Ougi**
I would like an explanation.
**[41:06] Ougi**
There is no way I would do anything
to harm you, Araragi-senpai.
**[41:11] Ougi**
That's why I told you, right?
**[41:12] Ougi**
That I am expecting you, Araragi-senpai,
to make the right decision...
**[41:15] Ougi**
...and withdraw, instead of getting
suckered into Gaen-san's slick talk.
**[41:20] Koyomi**
Did you say that?
***SIGN*** Well...
***SIGN*** If she is saying she said it, she probably said it.
**[41:23] Koyomi**
But, it's nonexistent. The choice of forsaking
Shinobu and Hachikuji is something I don't have.
**[41:29] Koyomi**
There is no choice. I have no
surplus within my heart.
**[41:33] Koyomi**
I don't know what the right thing is, but
I do know what path I should take.
**[41:38] Ougi**
I wish you wouldn't hurry to
conclusions like that...
**[41:41] Ougi**
But well, that's fine. I tried to ask you
because I had nothing left to lose.
**[41:46] Ougi**
That said, it's disappointing.
**[41:49] Ougi**
For me personally, I'd like to see you,
Araragi-senpai, retire voluntarily right about now.
**[41:54] Ougi**
But egging you on to do so too much
would be going beyond my bounds.
**[41:58] Ougi**
Hey, Araragi-senpai.
**[42:01] Ougi**
Let me correct one thing that you may
have a misunderstanding about.
**[42:06] Koyomi**
Misunderstanding? What is
the misunderstanding?
**[42:10] Ougi**
I am not the "darkness."
**[42:17] Ougi**
By the way, Araragi-senpai.
**[42:20] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai, you've fallen to
hell, and you've gone on a date,
**[42:23] Ougi**
so you may have nothing you look
back on with regret anymore.
**[42:26] Ougi**
But I currently have one thing that I
look back on with regret in this town.
**[42:32] Koyomi**
Something you look back on with regret?
**[42:34] Ougi**
Something you wouldn't
mind dying to achieve...
**[42:37] Ougi**
Once you achieved this, you wouldn't mind if you died.
Do you have such a goal, Araragi-senpai?
**[42:43] Ougi**
I have one. I have just one more.
**[42:46] Ougi**
That's why I have to do it even if I
have to put everything else aside.
**[42:51] Ougi**
That is why if Izuko Gaen, the leader of the
specialists, were to place a trap, it would be there.
**[42:58] Ougi**
Yes, I know.
**[43:00] Ougi**
I know, but I still have
to fall for that trap...
**[43:03] Ougi**
I have to resign myself to
suffer that counterattack.
**[43:09] Ougi**
In other words, starting right now, I am going to
fight the big sister that knows everything,
**[43:14] Ougi**
with a frontal assault,
with no fudging around...
**[43:17] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai, in this fight,
can you be on my side?
**[43:26] Ougi**
Please, help me.

You "maybe" know? No, you know.
I don't know anything, though.

Well, yeah, but...

Now that Big Sister isn't here,
I can't be of any help to you...
**[04:04] Yotsugi**
But at the least, I can watch you fight

Haven't you had enough, Baragaki-san?
**[04:38] Koyomi**
Well, that sounds really cool, but Hachikuji,
**[04:41] Koyomi**
don't refer to me as if I was
Toshizo Hijikata in his youth.
**[04:44] Koyomi**
My name is Araragi.
**[04:46] Mayoi**
I'm sorry, I flubbed (kami-mashita).
**[04:48] Koyomi**
No, that was intentional.
**[04:49] Mayoi**
I fwubbed.
**[04:50] Koyomi**
It's not intentional?
**[04:52] Mayoi**
I crouched.
**[04:53] Koyomi**
You were indeed sitting
catcher-style there, but...
**[04:57] Mayoi**
It's good to see you too, Ononoki-san.
Thank you for your help earlier.
**[05:01] Yotsugi**
Yup. I feel happy about your return.
***SIGN*** There was a matter that I should have checked up on.
**[05:13] Koyomi**
What's wrong, Hachikuji?
**[05:15] Mayoi**
No, what's wrong with your brain?
**[05:17] Mayoi**
Why did you so suddenly attempt to
clutch my growing breasts?
**[05:24] Koyomi**
Well, I was wondering what kind of
condition you were in right now.
**[05:28] Izuko**
She's a phantom, just like she was
when you first met her here in this park.
**[05:34] Izuko**
She's a ghost.
**[05:39] Koyomi**
I'm sorry, Hachikuji. I wasn't
thinking when I brought you here.
**[05:43] Koyomi**
Come to think of it, I've made your labors piling
stones for the past six months all for naught.
**[05:49] Mayoi**
It's fine, Araragi-san.
Don't worry about it.
**[05:53] Mayoi**
I've already settled things with
Gaen-san concerning that.
**[05:58] Koyomi**
Settled things?
**[06:00] Izuko**
Well, we can discuss all that in
the briefing. Let's get started.
**[06:05] Izuko**
For the moment, Koyomin, can you give orders
to your now-mature, beautiful slave girl,
**[06:09] Izuko**
and have her stop bullying my
junior colleague shikigami?
**[06:14] Kiss-shot**
There, there, there!
**[06:22] Koyomi**
* She seems to be doing what*
* Ononoki-chan feared.*
**[06:24] Koyomi**
* Getting revenge for all of the insults she*
* received back in the summer.*
***SIGN*** Shinobu Oshino The complete form of the legendary vampire who flew in from overseas.
***SIGN*** Mayoi Hachikuji A ghost that returned from hell.
***SIGN*** Yotsugi Ononoki A shikigami corpse doll whose master has ran away.
***SIGN*** Izuko Gaen The leader of a group of specialists who defeat apparitions.
***SIGN*** And me, Koyomi Araragi, once human, previously vampire, and currently human.
***SIGN*** Stop it, Hachikuji. Don't look at me like that.
**[06:55] Izuko**
All right. It's time for your big sister
**[06:58] Izuko**
to tell you about the plan she spent
the last few days working on.
**[07:01] Izuko**
Koyomin, did you bring it as I asked?
**[07:05] Koyomi**
I did bring it.
**[07:07] Koyomi**
But this belonged to you in the first place,
Gaen-san, so I wanted to return it to you.
**[07:15] Izuko**
Mm, indeed. It has been preserved well.
**[07:19] Izuko**
It looks like you took
very good care of it.
**[07:23] Izuko**
Ougi Oshino.
**[07:25] Izuko**
That is the enemy who we are
going to face right now.
**[07:29] Izuko**
The opponent we must fight, the target we
must eliminate, and the focus of our hatred.
**[07:34] Izuko**
Isn't that right, Koyomin?
**[07:41] Izuko**
Naturally, this is the
most important point.
**[07:44] Izuko**
The name "Ougi Oshino" was merely used
as a convenience. Don't forget that.
**[07:51] Izuko**
The true nature of Ougi Oshino is unknown.
**[07:56] Izuko**
The loss of her true identity is the
only identity she has.
**[08:01] Izuko**
First, let's go over it step-by-step.
**[08:03] Izuko**
We don't have time, and I'll only
explain once, so listen up.
***SIGN*** Notes
**[08:08] Koyomi**
There's one thing I want to confirm.
**[08:11] Koyomi**
Are you sure that Ougi-chan will
be on the move sometime tonight?
**[08:15] Izuko**
She will. I'm not simply "sure."
That's just the reality of it.
**[08:19] Izuko**
She only has tonight. If she doesn't act tonight,
that would imply that it's not actually her.
**[08:24] Izuko**
And thus, there is no threat at all.
**[08:27] Koyomi**
* Well, for this case, I did toss out the*
* question, but I was pretty convinced, too.*
**[08:31] Koyomi**
*Because she said so herself.*
**[08:34] Ougi**
*Araragi-senpai, could you be on my side?*
**[08:38] Ougi**
*Please, help me.*
**[08:42] Izuko**
We'll start by talking
about the relationship
**[08:45] Izuko**
between this park and
North Shirahebi Shrine.
**[08:48] Izuko**
From the source that leads
up to the current tragedy.
**[08:51] Izuko**
From the tragedy 400 years ago
that fell upon Shirohebi Shrine,
**[08:54] Izuko**
the previous incarnation of
North Shirahebi Shrine.
**[09:00] Izuko**
Now, what exactly happened 400 years ago?
**[09:08] Izuko**
Right. The legendary vampire, Kiss-shot
Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade visited Japan.
**[09:14] Izuko**
Now, when she landed,
**[09:16] Izuko**
all the water that had built up in a
lake in that particular area of Japan
**[09:19] Izuko**
was dispersed.
**[09:21] Izuko**
She scattered it.
**[09:23] Izuko**
That lake was no ordinary lake.
**[09:27] Izuko**
It was a sacred lake that was the
focus of worship for the whole region.
**[09:32] Izuko**
But this blasphemous deed of hers
proved to be to the region's benefit.
**[09:38] Izuko**
Because the water from the lake that
flew up from the impact of landing...
**[09:42] Izuko**
...fell back down onto the area,
**[09:44] Izuko**
which was suffering from a drought
at the time, as blessed rain.
**[09:47] Izuko**
As a result, the Western apparition
**[09:50] Izuko**
Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade,
a vampire, took over the local religion.
**[09:56] Izuko**
You could say that she defeated the
previous god and took over its position.
**[10:01] Izuko**
With no more lake, and no more god to
worship, they had to find a new god.
**[10:08] Izuko**
No, they had to create a new god.
**[10:12] Izuko**
That is why they relocated the shrine.
**[10:15] Izuko**
The locals, who'd lost both their
faith and much of their numbers,
**[10:19] Izuko**
decided to try and survive by
merging with a local folk religion.
**[10:24] Izuko**
And this wasn't necessarily a bad decision.
**[10:27] Izuko**
There was a tie between these
two that enabled the grafting.
**[10:30] Izuko**
A tie, an axis... A cord that
connected the mountain and the lake.
**[10:35] Izuko**
Though I guess I should call it
a rope (nawa), and not a cord.
**[10:38] Izuko**
A kuchinawa—in other words, a snake.
**[10:41] Izuko**
The god that was worshiped at the lake
**[10:42] Izuko**
took the physical form of a water snake.
**[10:46] Izuko**
And the object of worship for
the small indigenous faith
**[10:49] Izuko**
in the mountains was shaped
like a mountain snake.
**[10:52] Izuko**
A water snake and a mountain snake.
**[10:54] Izuko**
A snake connection.
**[10:55] Izuko**
But this grafting proved to
be just a bit too forced.
**[11:00] Izuko**
It might have appeared successful,
**[11:01] Izuko**
but there was still this
sense that something was off.
**[11:04] Izuko**
And being "off," being unbalanced, in
that way, created a type of air pocket.
**[11:08] Izuko**
An air pocket that gathered bad things.
**[11:11] Izuko**
The site of the eradicated lake
is here, Shirohebi Park...
**[11:16] Izuko**
...and the mountain shrine where the faith had been
transferred is North Shirahebi Shrine, you see.
***SIGN*** North Shirahebi Shrine
**[11:25] Izuko**
By the way,
**[11:26] Izuko**
Shirohebi Shrine, now "North Shirahebi Shrine,"
managed to survive in a much diminished state,
**[11:32] Izuko**
until finally collapsing 15 years ago.
**[11:35] Izuko**
He—the first minion of Shinobu-san—
his ashes came back to his homeland,
**[11:40] Izuko**
and as a result, he ate the "bad things"
that had gathered within the shrine grounds,
**[11:43] Izuko**
and the god itself.
**[11:47] Izuko**
Because of all that had gone on, after the
case of that minion had been resolved...
**[11:52] Izuko**
I had planned to enshrine Shinobu-san as
the new deity of North Shirahebi Shrine.
***SIGN*** If you had explained everything with that reasoning from the beginning...
***SIGN*** That's what I was going to say,
***SIGN*** but even if she had taken the time to explain it,
***SIGN*** I doubt I ever would've thought about using that talisman on Shinobu.
**[12:04] Izuko**
Koyomin, why don't we take a little break
and make it clear where we both stand?
**[12:10] Koyomi**
Where we both stand?
**[12:13] Izuko**
What we want, if you prefer
to put it that way.
**[12:15] Izuko**
Or what, exactly, we think we're doing here.
**[12:18] Izuko**
We don't have any kind of alliance here.
**[12:23] Izuko**
I brought you here expecting one of the
miracles you pull off.
**[12:27] Izuko**
But I can't deny that it might
just bring forth another disaster.
**[12:32] Izuko**
For example, when I put you
in charge of Shinobu-san,
**[12:35] Izuko**
or Shinobu-chan, as she was known back then,
**[12:36] Izuko**
I never thought that the end result
would be an unrelated middle school girl
**[12:39] Izuko**
being enshrined as a god.
**[12:43] Koyomi**
Yeah, you've kinda got me there.
***SIGN*** In other words, since she couldn't trust me, she wanted to know what I was after...
***SIGN*** What was inside my heart.
**[12:51] Koyomi**
I'll tell you, then. My objective is...
**[12:54] Koyomi**
For now, I'd like to do something
about Hachikuji and Shinobu.
**[12:59] Koyomi**
Especially Hachikuji, as she might be
swallowed up by the darkness at this rate.
**[13:03] Izuko**
Well, remember that I said I
had a plan for Hachikuji-chan.
**[13:08] Izuko**
So, next I'd like to hear your
worries about Shinobu-san.
**[13:11] Izuko**
You want to do something about Shinobu-san?
Koyomin, specifically what do you mean by that?
**[13:17] Koyomi**
So like, she's like this now...
**[13:22] Koyomi**
And of course, I'm concerned about how
Oshino and Kagenui-san's whereabouts are unknown.
**[13:32] Koyomi**
Of course, I think it would be good for
the town I live in to be peaceful.
**[13:37] Koyomi**
But I'm not capable of really
thinking about things in that way.
**[13:42] Koyomi**
At most, I can think about the safety
of the people around me.
**[13:47] Izuko**
And that's what makes this dangerous for me.
**[13:50] Izuko**
But we can deal with that.
**[13:53] Izuko**
At least, this time around.
**[13:56] Koyomi**
By that, you mean..
**[13:57] Izuko**
You're worried about the people
close to you, but not yourself.
**[14:05] Izuko**
Since your own safety isn't a concern,
we can come to an agreement.
**[14:11] Izuko**
What about you, Shinobu-san?
**[14:14] Izuko**
What is your objective?
**[14:16] Izuko**
Shinobu-san, what are you thinking about
right now? What do you want to do?
**[14:22] Kiss-shot**
I merely obey my master's orders.
**[14:26] Kiss-shot**
If my master says he will assist you,
that's what I will do as well.
**[14:31] Kiss-shot**
And if my master decides to oppose you,
that's what I will do as well.
**[14:38] Kiss-shot**
Specialist, if I could speak for myself,
my desire is, if at all possible...
**[14:46] Kiss-shot**
...to be returned to the
form of a young girl.
**[14:57] Izuko**
Now that our stances are all clear,
**[15:01] Izuko**
I'll explain what, exactly,
we're about to do.
**[15:04] Izuko**
I will explain the minimum requirements for
fulfilling Koyomin's objectives, my objectives,
**[15:09] Izuko**
Shinobu-san's objectives, and
Hachikuji-chan's objectives simultaneously.
***SIGN*** Minimum Requirements
**[15:14] Izuko**
There are two minimum requirements.
**[15:15] Izuko**
One is to enshrine a new deity
in North Shirahebi Shrine,
**[15:19] Izuko**
and the other is the
extermination of Ougi Oshino.
***SIGN*** Extermination
**[15:25] Koyomi**
Gaen-san...
**[15:26] Koyomi**
If you're talking about turning
Shinobu into a god—
**[15:29] Izuko**
That's what I had been planning on.
**[15:31] Izuko**
But since Koyomin brought Hachikuji-chan back
from hell, the situation has changed.
**[15:36] Izuko**
In a way, a surrogate god that is
even more fitting than Shinobu-san...
**[15:40] Izuko**
No, the successor to a god has appeared.
**[15:43] Koyomi**
The successor to a god?
**[15:46] Izuko**
It's Hachikuji-chan.
**[15:50] Koyomi**
N-No, that's even worse!
I mean, Hachikuji is—
**[15:55] Izuko**
Hachikuji is?
**[15:58] Kiss-shot**
Well, I suppose she's qualified.
**[16:02] Kiss-shot**
At the point where she returned from hell,
**[16:04] Kiss-shot**
that lost girl undoubtedly
performed a miracle.
**[16:09] Koyomi**
But if that's the case, the condition is
also met by me, or even by Ononoki-chan—
**[16:15] Izuko**
It's not the same. It's different.
**[16:17] Izuko**
You all returned, but in different ways.
**[16:20] Izuko**
The difference is that if she doesn't
turn into a god right here,
**[16:22] Izuko**
Hachikuji-chan will be swallowed
up by the darkness.
**[16:27] Izuko**
In other words, there are three choices.
**[16:29] Izuko**
One, she goes back to hell again.
**[16:32] Izuko**
Two, she gets swallowed up
into the "darkness."
**[16:34] Izuko**
Three, she becomes a god.
**[16:37] Izuko**
By becoming enshrined at
North Shirahebi Shrine,
**[16:40] Izuko**
Mayoi Hachikuji will be granted
an existence in this material world.
***SIGN*** She gains citizenship.
***SIGN*** She gains proof of residence —so the story goes.
**[16:47] Izuko**
So for Hachikuji-chan, it's basically
nothing but good things.
**[16:51] Izuko**
Of course, I'd have to
have her work a bit.
**[16:54] Izuko**
But if she at least maintains the air pocket,
**[16:57] Izuko**
that will be good enough as
a preventative measure.
**[17:00] Mayoi**
There you have it.
**[17:01] Koyomi**
B-But, it's a shrine that
deifies a snake, right?
**[17:05] Koyomi**
If you enshrined a snail apparition like
Hachikuji, wouldn't that cause a distortion?
**[17:11] Izuko**
And that is the miracle
that makes it impossible
**[17:13] Izuko**
to believe that you did this
without thinking, Koyomin.
**[17:16] Izuko**
Without that miracle, I never would've thought
about enshrining Hachikuji-chan as a god.
**[17:22] Izuko**
A snail is a superior version of a snake.
**[17:25] Koyomi**
Huh?
**[17:26] Izuko**
No, "superior version" is perhaps stretching
things a little too much.
**[17:31] Izuko**
But Koyomin, you've at least
heard of a three-way deadlock?
**[17:37] Koyomi**
A snake, a frog, and a slug...
**[17:41] Koyomi**
* Slug? Haven't I heard*
* about that somewhere?*
**[17:45] Koyomi**
Oh, right.
**[17:47] Koyomi**
The Slug Tofu.
**[17:49] Koyomi**
The fake apparition that
Kaiki used on Sengoku...
**[17:52] Izuko**
Right. An apparition effective
against snakes... a slug.
**[17:56] Izuko**
And, a slug and a snail
are related species.
***SIGN*** Slug Snail
**[18:02] Koyomi**
* Then, it's not that a snail has*
* nothing to do with a snake.*
**[18:06] Koyomi**
*A snail can freeze a snake in place.*
**[18:09] Koyomi**
*She won't run wild like Sengoku.*
**[18:11] Koyomi**
* She won't be swallowed by*
* the snake like Sengoku.*
**[18:14] Koyomi**
*Instead, she can swallow the snake.*
**[18:18] Mayoi**
In other words, I'm Mayoi Slug (Namekuji).
**[18:21] Koyomi**
Hachikuji, are you really
all right with that?
**[18:24] Mayoi**
Yes, I'm fine with it. A god!
That gets me all hyped up!
**[18:28] Koyomi**
*Hyped up?*
**[18:30] Mayoi**
Excuse me, I god-ed (kami-mashita)!
***SIGN*** God-ed
**[18:34] Koyomi**
Putting it that way makes it
sound like a gag, so stop it.
**[18:37] Koyomi**
This is really important! Don't
try to make a joke about it!
**[18:40] Mayoi**
It's way more than just two ranks up!
A tremendous promotion!
**[18:44] Koyomi**
No, you probably don't understand...
**[18:47] Mayoi**
I have a proper understanding.
**[18:49] Koyomi**
Is that so? Do you properly understand
the responsibilities and meaning,
**[18:53] Koyomi**
the weight and duties of the
act of becoming a god?
**[18:56] Mayoi**
No, I don't understand any of
those things. Not at all!
**[18:59] Koyomi**
You don't understand?!
**[19:01] Mayoi**
However...
**[19:02] Mayoi**
I do know that if I do this,
**[19:03] Mayoi**
I'll continue to be able to play merrily
with you from now on, Araragi-san.
**[19:09] Izuko**
Well, that fulfills one of the conditions.
**[19:14] Izuko**
If Hachikuji-chan swallows this talisman,
**[19:17] Izuko**
it's the birth of a new god
at North Shirahebi Shrine.
**[19:21] Izuko**
If Koyomin wants Hachikuji-chan to
be swallowed up into the darkness,
**[19:25] Izuko**
well, I'll leave that to your discretion.
**[19:28] Izuko**
For me, it's a matter of the means.
**[19:32] Koyomi**
Oh, right.
**[19:34] Koyomi**
Gaen-san.
**[19:35] Izuko**
What is it, Koyomin?
**[19:36] Koyomi**
Um... About the "darkness"...
**[19:39] Koyomi**
Perhaps we've suffered
a terrible misunderstanding.
**[19:44] Koyomi**
Ougi Oshino may not be the darkness.
**[19:48] Izuko**
I know that.
**[19:50] Yotsugi**
Seriously? She wasn't? You're kidding!
**[19:53] Yotsugi**
I totally thought that was the case,
**[19:55] Yotsugi**
and I put tons of foreshadowing of
that nature all over the place!
***SIGN*** If so, I really wish she hadn't done that.
***SIGN*** Please don't deliberately add foreshadowing.
***SIGN*** She had a troublesome character trait, or rather, she was a troublesome character.
**[20:09] Izuko**
Why did you think that in the first place?
**[20:11] Izuko**
That Ougi Oshino was the "darkness."
**[20:13] Koyomi**
Well, because...
**[20:16] Izuko**
Oh, that was a bad way to ask.
**[20:18] Izuko**
What I want to ask is, at what point did you,
Koyomin, get that idea?
**[20:24] Koyomi**
There was no specific point.
**[20:26] Koyomi**
As I watched and listened to her,
I naturally started thinking that way...
**[20:30] Koyomi**
In reality, she was seeking Hachikuji,
and the cases concerning Sengoku and Tadatsuru.
**[20:37] Koyomi**
*No, in the end, it was just a sense I had.*
**[20:42] Koyomi**
* I mean, she felt so shady and*
* dark... Like darkness itself.*
**[20:47] Koyomi**
*A shadow that appreciates the rules.*
**[20:50] Koyomi**
*A pitch black that reveres balance.*
**[20:53] Izuko**
In the beginning, she herself
probably thought that way, too.
**[20:58] Izuko**
It's certain that even now, she imposes
tasks of that sort on herself.
**[21:02] Izuko**
Ougi Oshino is not the "darkness,"
but she does the same thing.
**[21:07] Izuko**
She plays the same role.
**[21:09] Koyomi**
The same role as the "darkness"...
**[21:12] Izuko**
Let me clear things up just in case—
**[21:15] Izuko**
If we leave Hachikuji-chan
in her current condition,
**[21:18] Izuko**
the "darkness" we were worried
might reappear in this town
**[21:22] Izuko**
will be the true "darkness".
**[21:26] Izuko**
On the other hand, if we set up and enshrine
Hachikuji-chan as the god of North Shirahebi Shrine,
**[21:30] Izuko**
it's possible that Hachikuji-chan
will be attacked
**[21:35] Izuko**
by Ougi Oshino, who performs the same
role as the "darkness."
**[21:44] Koyomi**
After we enshrine... attacked?
**[21:48] Izuko**
Well, that's why I said there were two
minimum requirements, didn't I?
**[21:52] Izuko**
Merely enshrining Hachikuji-chan
as a god is not enough.
**[21:55] Izuko**
If we don't exterminate Ougi Oshino,
the story doesn't come to a conclusion.
**[22:00] Koyomi**
Exterminate, exterminate...
You keep repeating that.
**[22:03] Koyomi**
But can you stop that?
**[22:06] Koyomi**
When you say exterminate, it's as
if Ougi-chan was an apparition.
**[22:11] Izuko**
That's right.
**[22:15] Izuko**
She is an ordinary...
**[22:17] Izuko**
...monster.
***SIGN*** Ougi Dark Part Two
**[22:25] Koyomi**
Ougi-chan... is an apparition?
**[22:28] Koyomi**
On what basis, Gaen-san, are you
calling Ougi-chan a monster?
**[22:34] Izuko**
Then on what basis do you call
Ougi Oshino "Ougi-chan"?
**[22:40] Izuko**
Aren't you merely calling her "Ougi-chan"
because she called herself Ougi Oshino,
**[22:45] Izuko**
and you just believed her?
**[22:48] Mayoi**
It's unlike you to be so
dense about this, Araragi-san.
**[22:51] Mayoi**
I'm guessing that this Ougi Oshino-san
was introduced to you by Kanbaru-san,
**[22:56] Mayoi**
the previous star of the basketball team,
as one of her fans?
**[23:00] Koyomi**
Yeah, that's how things went.
**[23:03] Mayoi**
A fan. In other words, a fan (ougi).
**[23:06] Koyomi**
Eh? But what about her last name?
**[23:10] Izuko**
The last name "Oshino" is
slightly more complicated.
**[23:14] Izuko**
But it is certain that her claim
of being Meme's niece is a lie.
**[23:18] Koyomi**
If Ougi Oshino isn't Ougi Oshino,
then what in the world is she?
**[23:24] Izuko**
What is she, really?
**[23:27] Izuko**
What she is, right now, is "an unknown."
**[23:31] Izuko**
That is why it is clear how we will
exterminate her. In my original plan,
**[23:36] Izuko**
Ougi Oshino was going to be exterminated
with the demon sword "Kokoro Watari."
**[23:40] Koyomi**
So you were planning to slay Ougi-chan
with the Apparition Killer?
**[23:44] Izuko**
Come on, don't glare at me like that.
Which side are you on, exactly?
**[23:49] Izuko**
Slaying an apparition with
the Apparition Killer...
**[23:52] Izuko**
Normally, something like that
wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.
**[23:54] Izuko**
As a specialist, that's my job.
**[23:57] Koyomi**
Is that why you created the
demon sword "Kokoro Watari"?
**[24:02] Koyomi**
* The armor worn by the first*
* minion, Seishiro Shishirui.*
**[24:07] Koyomi**
* The sword was created by reforging it*
* after it went missing in August.*
**[24:12] Izuko**
I didn't create it to slay Ougi Oshino.
**[24:15] Izuko**
However, I did predict the
appearance of Ougi Oshino.
**[24:18] Kiss-shot**
Hmph. No different than someone
who loots during a riot.
**[24:22] Kiss-shot**
No wonder I felt like that
meal was a bit lacking.
**[24:26] Izuko**
Don't say that. That's why I've already
returned it to you, Shinobu-san.
***SIGN*** Based on that comment,
***SIGN*** the demon sword "Kokoro Watari" that was used earlier to play cricket
***SIGN*** was not Shinobu's, but apparently the replica created by Gaen-san.
**[24:34] Izuko**
I no longer have a need for it.
**[24:36] Izuko**
If I can count on Koyomin's assistance,
there's no need to do this the hard way.
**[24:41] Izuko**
As a specialist in exterminating monsters,
I can use the proper means,
**[24:45] Izuko**
the standard approach,
to exterminate Ougi Oshino.
**[24:50] Koyomi**
What do you mean by saying you predicted
the appearance of Ougi-chan?
**[24:54] Izuko**
Well, I'm just speaking from experience.
**[24:56] Izuko**
I wouldn't say it was exactly
the same as Ougi Oshino...
**[24:59] Izuko**
but I've seen an apparition
similar to her in the past.
**[25:04] Izuko**
Strictly speaking, I was not the
one that experienced it.
**[25:07] Izuko**
It was my older sister, Tooe Gaen.
**[25:11] Izuko**
You know well of Suruga Kanbaru...
it's her mother.
***SIGN*** Tooe Gaen
**[25:15] Izuko**
In a way, she was like you, Koyomin.
**[25:18] Izuko**
As a grade school student, I thought
my older sister was bad news.
**[25:21] Izuko**
I was well aware that she
was a dangerous individual.
**[25:23] Izuko**
How do I put it...
**[25:25] Izuko**
She wasn't a monster,
but she was like a monster.
**[25:29] Izuko**
Tough on herself, and tough on others.
**[25:32] Izuko**
The tougher it got, the more
she thought it was for good.
**[25:35] Izuko**
That's the type of person she was.
**[25:37] Izuko**
But I digress. It's not that I want to
introduce my older sister's personality to you.
**[25:43] Izuko**
For now, I just want to say that such a
personality my older sister had reminds me of Koyomin.
***SIGN*** Tough on oneself, and tough on others?
**[25:50] Koyomi**
*Did I have that kind of a personality?*
**[26:00] Izuko**
I will have Koyomin do the same
thing my older sister did.
**[26:03] Koyomi**
I'm going to do it? Not you, Gaen-san?
**[26:07] Izuko**
You're the only one that can do it.
**[26:10] Izuko**
You. By yourself.
**[26:12] Izuko**
You must do it.
***SIGN*** People just...
***SIGN*** help themselves
***SIGN*** out on their own.
**[26:19] Izuko**
The threat that the unknown
apparition Ougi Oshino poses...
**[26:23] Izuko**
...ultimately boils down to one point,
that she is an unknown.
**[26:27] Izuko**
Therefore, disclosing her true identity
would cause it to collapse.
***SIGN*** Collapse
**[26:30] Koyomi**
Collapse?
**[26:32] Izuko**
You could call it "pair
annihilation" as well.
**[26:34] Izuko**
But what's important here is that she's a
fake, who lies about what she really is.
**[26:41] Izuko**
What happens when that lie is exposed...
**[26:43] Izuko**
Shinobu-san and Hachikuji-chan
should know all too well.
**[26:51] Koyomi**
The "darkness".
**[26:56] Izuko**
Right. Apparitions that lie about what they are
get swallowed by the "darkness".
**[27:00] Izuko**
Especially in her case, she falsified
herself as that "darkness" itself.
**[27:04] Izuko**
The punishment for such a rule
violation will be the most severe.
**[27:10] Izuko**
You reap what you sow.
**[27:12] Izuko**
Everything she's done around
Koyomin for the past six months,
**[27:16] Izuko**
all of that will now come
bearing down on her.
**[27:24] Izuko**
Well, an apparition is something
intrinsically of that nature.
**[27:27] Izuko**
That is why I call Ougi Oshino
"an ordinary monster."
***SIGN*** If you explain an apparition with science,
***SIGN*** it turns into an ordinary superstition, right?
**[27:33] Koyomi**
Gaen-san, so your older sister defeated
an apparition similar to Ougi-chan...
**[27:37] Koyomi**
A "darkness", no,
a quasi-darkness, in that manner?
**[27:41] Izuko**
Yup, that's right.
**[27:43] Izuko**
In my opinion, a quasi-darkness is more
dangerous than the "darkness" itself.
**[27:49] Izuko**
It refuses to allow a tidy ending.
**[27:52] Izuko**
It says that giving everyone
a happy ending is cheating.
**[27:55] Izuko**
That's how it works.
**[27:58] Izuko**
That is why we absolutely must
**[28:00] Izuko**
settle the score once and for all today,
before the night is over.
**[28:04] Ougi**
*Please, help me.*
**[28:05] Ougi**
*Could you be on my side?*
**[28:08] Ougi**
*Please, help me.*
***SIGN*** I don't know why Ougi-chan said that to me.
**[28:17] Koyomi**
*In the past,*
**[28:19] Koyomi**
* there was a time when I rejected a request*
* from Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.*
**[28:26] Koyomi**
* I will give Ougi-chan the*
* same answer as back then.*
**[28:31] Koyomi**
I understand.
**[28:33] Koyomi**
I will not save Ougi Oshino. So...
**[28:35] Koyomi**
So, please tell me, Gaen-san.
**[28:39] Koyomi**
What is the true identity of the mysterious
transfer student, Ougi Oshino?
**[28:43] Izuko**
Her true identity is...
**[28:47] Nadeko**
Thank you, Tsukihi-chan. Thanks to you,
it looks like I'll make my deadline.
**[28:51] Tsukihi**
Nothing, it's nothing!
***SIGN*** This is Ran Hokkyokusei, transferring from Shogo Academy.
**[28:56] Tsukihi**
I don't know much about manga and stuff.
**[28:59] Tsukihi**
But Nadeko-chan, how confident
are you about this?
**[29:02] Tsukihi**
If you win an award, you get
prize money and stuff, right?
**[29:05] Nadeko**
Mm... I don't know.
**[29:08] Nadeko**
I stopped thinking about confidence
and stuff like that.
**[29:11] Tsukihi**
Hmm...
**[29:12] Nadeko**
There have been people that
said I might have talent.
**[29:16] Nadeko**
But even for people with talent,
**[29:18] Nadeko**
sometimes these things just don't work out.
**[29:22] Tsukihi**
You won't be at the top tier unless
you believe in your talent.
**[29:26] Tsukihi**
Otherwise, you won't have anything to keep you going
when you can't put in any more effort.
**[29:30] ---**
This is Ran Hokkyokusei, transferring
from Shogo Academy.
**[29:31] Tsukihi**
People with only effort will become disheartened
when they can no longer put in that effort.
**[29:37] Nadeko**
It feels kind of like
you're trying to trick me.
**[29:42] Nadeko**
I just do what I want to do.
**[29:45] Nadeko**
No matter how unsightly
or embarrassing it is.
**[29:49] Nadeko**
Tsukihi-chan, aren't you like that, too?
**[29:52] Tsukihi**
I really don't have things I want to do,
or goals, or stuff of that sort.
**[29:58] Tsukihi**
That's why I like supporting what
other people do like this, I guess?
**[30:03] Nadeko**
Hmm?
**[30:06] Nadeko**
To me, there isn't anyone else with as clear
a stance on life as you, Tsukihi-chan.
**[30:11] Tsukihi**
Hahaha! I'm honored by you saying that.
Just how lucky is Tsukihi-chan?
**[30:17] Tsukihi**
But I'm a bit more nihilistic,
or maybe destructive,
**[30:23] Tsukihi**
so there is a part of me that gets drawn
to people who want to do things.
**[30:27] Nadeko**
Are you talking about
Karen-san or Koyomi-san?
**[30:32] Tsukihi**
Well, yeah.
**[30:34] Tsukihi**
That, and helping Nadeko-chan's job like this
**[30:38] Tsukihi**
is me getting drawn to
Nadeko-chan's enthusiasm.
**[30:41] Nadeko**
Job...
**[30:43] Nadeko**
It's not my job at all yet.
**[30:49] Tsukihi**
I wonder what eventually
happens to people like me?
**[30:53] Tsukihi**
I have to think about planning for
the future before it's too late.
**[30:57] Tsukihi**
Karen-chan is entering high school,
and Big Brother will be going to college.
**[31:02] ---**
A normal middle school girl
who goes to 15 Academy!
**[31:02] Tsukihi**
Because right now I'm getting a taste of being
left behind for the second time in my life,
**[31:05] ---**
But what was
that guy's problem?
**[31:05] ---**
And it feels like
I've seen him before...
**[31:06] Tsukihi**
the last time being two years ago
when I was in sixth grade,
**[31:07] ---**
What's going to happen to
my ordinary school life?
**[31:09] Tsukihi**
I should decide what I want
to do, who I want to be.
**[31:14] Tsukihi**
Just like you, Nadeko-chan.
**[31:15] Nadeko**
Just having you say something
like that, Tsukihi-chan,
**[31:18] Nadeko**
makes it worth putting effort into this.
**[31:23] Nadeko**
Even if people can't become happy, good things
happen to them... as long as they are alive.
**[31:30] Tsukihi**
Hmm... Well, I guess that's true.
**[31:37] Ougi**
Oh? Is that... Araragi-senpai's
little sister right there?
**[31:46] Ougi**
I met you yesterday, too. Hello.
**[31:49] Tsukihi**
Hello.
**[31:51] Tsukihi**
*Did I meet her?*
**[31:52] Ougi**
My name is Ougi Oshino. I hear much
about you from your big brother.
**[31:58] Ougi**
He says he's very proud of you.
**[32:00] Tsukihi**
Okay...
**[32:01] Ougi**
It's getting late, so I'll take
you home. Hop on back here.
**[32:14] Ougi**
Was Sengoku-chan doing well?
**[32:18] Ougi**
How was her electrocardiogram (shindenzu)?
**[32:21] Ougi**
Was she dead-zu (shindenzu)?
Or not dead-zu?
**[32:24] ---**
Dead-zu?
Not Dead-zu?
**[32:26] Tsukihi**
She's all right, I guess.
**[32:30] Tsukihi**
She's not dead. If anything, it's more
like she had been dead before now.
**[32:35] Ougi**
Perhaps.
**[32:37] Ougi**
Well, they say that everybody has something
more to them than just being cute.
**[32:41] Ougi**
The way I think, girls like that
are cuter when they aren't cute.
**[32:47] Ougi**
Good, good.
**[32:49] Ougi**
Being a "pretty girl" ended
up only being a blade
**[32:52] Ougi**
Sengoku-chan used to inflict
wounds on herself.
**[32:56] Ougi**
Things like that are so sad.
**[32:58] Tsukihi**
Sad? Aren't you lucky if you are cute?
**[33:04] Ougi**
For Sengoku-chan, cuteness was also
a chain to bind herself with.
**[33:09] Ougi**
But still, I'm sure it was too precious
a talent to get rid of on her own.
**[33:13] Ougi**
She needed some drastic measures.
**[33:16] Tsukihi**
Drastic measures?
What are you talking about?
**[33:19] Ougi**
Who knows? I don't.
**[33:22] Ougi**
I don't know anything.
**[33:25] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai is the one that knows.
**[33:29] Ougi**
Sengoku-chan seems to want to become
a manga artist in the future.
**[33:35] Ougi**
Tsukihi Araragi-chan,
what do you want to become?
**[33:38] Tsukihi**
What I want to be?
**[33:42] Tsukihi**
I don't really have anything.
**[33:45] Tsukihi**
I'm fine as long as I'm
enjoying the present.
**[33:48] Tsukihi**
I feel like times like that link
together to form the future.
**[33:52] Ougi**
You're not the type that knows everything,
**[33:55] Ougi**
but you are the type that
can do everything.
**[33:58] Ougi**
You may not be omniscient,
but you are omnipotent...
**[34:00] Ougi**
You have too many choices,
**[34:02] Ougi**
and so your objectives may be
scattered all over the place.
**[34:05] Ougi**
Though I say future...
**[34:08] Ougi**
...your future is much too large in scale.
**[34:12] Tsukihi**
Are you saying that I'm too dependent?
**[34:18] Ougi**
Tsukihi-chan, it's a fact that you live
based on support from those around you.
**[34:22] Ougi**
They are keeping you alive.
**[34:24] Ougi**
Without your big brother
and big sister's help,
**[34:27] Ougi**
you could've died during summer break.
**[34:31] Tsukihi**
During summer break?
**[34:35] Tsukihi**
The thing about people is,
they can't live all alone!
**[34:39] Ougi**
People live of their own accord.
**[34:45] Ougi**
What can't live of their own accord...
are monsters.
**[34:48] Ougi**
Just like you and me.
**[34:53] Tsukihi**
Oh... huh?
**[34:55] Tsukihi**
Wait, Oshino-san...
**[34:57] Ougi**
"Ougi-san" is fine.
**[34:58] Tsukihi**
Ougi-san, this isn't the right way at all.
**[35:02] Ougi**
Whoa. Sorry, sorry. It looks
like I've gotten lost.
**[35:06] Ougi**
Let's stop for a moment and check

A school... No, it looks like
it used to be a cram school.
**[35:44] Ougi**
Yeah, it seems that way.
**[35:46] Ougi**
Oh my. It was so exciting to come barging in
like this, but now we know exactly what it is.
**[35:51] Ougi**
When we figure out its true identity,
it ceases to be scary at all.
**[35:57] Ougi**
Mystery novels are like that, too.
**[35:59] Ougi**
You read them on the edge of your seat, heart
racing, because you don't know who did it.
**[36:03] Ougi**
When the mystery is no longer a mystery,
and the number of suspects is down to one...
**[36:07] Ougi**
Honestly, after that point, it's no fun.
**[36:11] Ougi**
I wish all solution scenes
were just one line long.
**[36:14] Ougi**
When the true identity is known,
**[36:16] Ougi**
the fear and the fun disappear.

Or perhaps they're amused by it.

But, the same probably
won't happen for me.

Tsukihi-chan, unfortunately for you,
**[37:41] Ougi**
what you call a "future"
doesn't actually exist.
**[37:44] Ougi**
It's not that you don't know what will
happen in the future. There is no future.
**[37:48] Ougi**
No matter how much of the present you
pile up, it won't lead to a future.
**[37:52] Ougi**
All you have is an eternal present.

Even so, are you able to live in the present,

Well, probably. I'm pretty good at living.

**[38:42] Ougi**
What is Shinobu-chan doing right now?
**[38:45] Ougi**
She's supposedly back in

**[38:48] Ougi**
She's not together with you?
**[38:50] Koyomi**
That hasn't happened yet.
**[38:52] Koyomi**
We decided that we will bind
ourselves to one another
**[38:55] Koyomi**
once again after everything
is said and done.
**[38:58] Ougi**
Hmm...
**[39:00] Ougi**
Shinobu-chan wished to end up
right where she started, huh?
**[39:04] Ougi**
And Araragi-senpai, you want
to become a quasi-human,
**[39:08] Ougi**
a failed attempt at being
a vampire once again?
**[39:11] Koyomi**
I just love young girls.
***SIGN*** I answer,

**[39:17] Ougi**
So what will happen to the girl?

She will be enshrined at

**[39:23] Koyomi**
That also is for when everything
is said and done.
**[39:27] Ougi**
Hmm. So that shrine...
**[39:30] Ougi**
It was a big problem, what to do with
the giant hole that opened in this town.
**[39:36] Ougi**
You sure found a convenient
solution for it.
**[39:39] Koyomi**
A problem... Your job?
**[39:42] Ougi**
Well, yes. I said something

What kind of lively conversations

**[39:56] Ougi**
I didn't even get to finish.
**[39:58] Ougi**
It's a shame. My job
ended up being half-done.
**[40:05] Ougi**
That was a tough one.
**[40:07] Ougi**
Nothing less from a phoenix.
It's beyond what I can handle.
**[40:10] Ougi**
How in the world was Yoduru Kagenui going to
exterminate such a long-living creature?
**[40:16] Koyomi**
You can exterminate monsters when you
disclose their true identities, right?
**[40:20] Ougi**
That's why I'm saying it doesn't
look like you can exterminate
**[40:23] Ougi**
her even if you disclose
her true identity.
**[40:26] Ougi**
Because she has a big brother
**[40:28] Ougi**
that refuses to stop loving her, even
knowing what her true identity is.
**[40:33] Ougi**
Mm... That may be why
Yoduru Kagenui had given up.
**[40:38] Ougi**
But I'd surmise that I can't
quite do the same thing.
**[40:44] Ougi**
Isn't that so?
**[40:45] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai will disclose my true identity,
and I'll be exterminated right here.
**[40:50] Ougi**
That's how this works, right?
**[40:54] Koyomi**
A one-on-one duel, as they say.
**[40:58] Ougi**
That is quite exciting.
**[41:04] Koyomi**
This time, it's something
that I have to do myself.
**[41:08] Koyomi**
It's something that only I can do.
**[41:10] Koyomi**
And it's something that
I want to do alone.
**[41:13] Ougi**
What you "want to do," huh?
**[41:16] Ougi**
Perhaps you only think that because those
adults smooth-talked you into it?
**[41:20] Ougi**
Araragi-senpai, you may think you
are working yourself to the bone
**[41:23] Ougi**
for the sake of Shinobu-chan
and Hachikuji-chan.
**[41:25] Ougi**
But isn't that just habit?
**[41:29] Ougi**
How foolish.
**[41:31] Ougi**
One tends to find excessive value
in something that was almost lost.
**[41:34] Ougi**
But if you bind yourself to such nostalgia,
you will never ever arrive at your future.
**[41:40] Ougi**
Oh, let me just make it clear that
this is me pleading for my life.
**[41:45] Koyomi**
Pleading for your life?
**[41:47] Ougi**
I've been telling you, haven't I?
**[41:48] Ougi**
"Could you be on my side?"
**[41:51] Ougi**
"Please, help me."
**[41:53] Ougi**
It seems that those requests were
fleeting and flatly denied.
**[41:58] Ougi**
Was I not charming enough?
**[42:02] Ougi**
Well, that is the correct
answer, Araragi-senpai.
**[42:06] Ougi**
That is the right thing.
**[42:07] Ougi**
What, so you can do the right thing, too?
**[42:12] Ougi**
Unfortunately, I wanted
you to decline that.
**[42:18] Ougi**
Well, this party hasn't quite
gotten into full swing yet,
**[42:21] Ougi**
but let's have you close it
out now, Araragi-senpai.
**[42:24] Koyomi**
Yeah, I'll have the honor of doing so.
**[42:29] Koyomi**
Ougi-chan, your true identity...
**[42:35] Koyomi**
Your true identity... is me.
**[42:48] Izuko**
Ougi Oshino's true identity
is Koyomi Araragi.
**[42:51] Izuko**
Ougi Oshino is an apparition
created by Koyomi Araragi.
**[42:55] Izuko**
Just as my older sister, Tooe Gaen,
created an apparition called the Rainy Devil.
**[43:00] Izuko**
The unknown apparition created by Tooe Gaen
was the materialization of her self-control.
**[43:07] Izuko**
Taking that quasi-darkness,
**[43:09] Izuko**
and arranging it into the form of
the western apparition called Rainy Devil,
**[43:12] Izuko**
she settled the score.
**[43:14] Izuko**
You could say that Ougi Oshino
**[43:16] Izuko**
is your own desire to criticize yourself.
**[43:19] Izuko**
Of course, that's not all she is.
**[43:26] Izuko**
It was last August.
**[43:28] Izuko**
The case where Hachikuji-chan
was assaulted by the "darkness".
**[43:31] Izuko**
The first phase was that Koyomin, through
the incident, learned about the "darkness".
**[43:36] Izuko**
You learned of a phenomenon
that corrects mistakes.
**[43:39] Izuko**
It tells you that what's
forbidden is forbidden.
**[43:40] Izuko**
What is wrong is wrong.
**[43:43] Izuko**
It judges things.
**[43:48] Izuko**
Now, the second phase was the confrontation
with the first Apparition Killer.
**[43:53] Izuko**
During the first encounter,
**[43:55] Izuko**
Suruga's Rainy Devil left arm had been hit
by the Energy Drain from the first one, yes?
**[44:00] Izuko**
Here, the undiluted essence of the
"unknown" my older sister created
**[44:03] Izuko**
combined with the original.
**[44:06] Izuko**
Through Shinobu Oshino,
you and he understand one another.
**[44:10] Izuko**
In fact, Shinobu-chan
had eaten the first one.
**[44:15] Izuko**
Thanks to that food chain,
a part of my older sister's legacy
**[44:19] Izuko**
flowed into you through Shinobu-chan.
**[44:23] Izuko**
And the result was the birth
of an "unknown" equipped with
**[44:28] Izuko**
all of the apparitions in this town, and
everything that had happened with them.
***SIGN*** Because of its nature and how it was created,
***SIGN*** Ougi Oshino is able to wield Heart-under-blade's
***SIGN*** physical materialization skill,
***SIGN*** at the very least.
**[44:34] Izuko**
By the way, concerning the surname "Oshino,"
it originates from Shinobu Oshino.
**[44:40] Izuko**
The fact that I foolishly called
myself that guy's little sister
**[44:44] Izuko**
turned out to set a bad precedent.
**[44:48] Izuko**
However, Koyomin's singularity
was that the apparition
**[44:52] Izuko**
he created was an apparition
that attacked himself.
**[44:55] Izuko**
You have, from spring break,
somewhere in your heart,
**[44:58] Izuko**
had awareness that you are
cheating all over your body.
**[45:03] Izuko**
You helped Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
Heart-under-blade out of sympathy...
**[45:08] Izuko**
and you wanted to face the consequences.
**[45:11] Izuko**
You grew a friendship
with Tsubasa Hanekawa...
**[45:14] Izuko**
but you kept worrying if you were worthy,
since you couldn't live up to her feelings.
**[45:21] Izuko**
You helped Hitagi Senjyogahara
with her long-term worries...
**[45:24] Izuko**
but you kept thinking how you ended up dating
her as "taking advantage of her weakness."
**[45:32] Izuko**
You respect Suruga Kanbaru...
**[45:34] Izuko**
but you felt inferiority because you couldn't
live in her straightforward manner.
**[45:38] Izuko**
You helped Nadeko Sengoku...
**[45:40] Izuko**
...but back then, the person you really
wanted to help wasn't just Nadeko Sengoku.
**[45:46] Izuko**
You gradually reconciled
with Shinobu Oshino...
**[45:49] Izuko**
but was that even allowed?
**[45:53] Izuko**
In the first place, isn't it unfair
to freely use powers of immortality?
**[45:57] Izuko**
Shouldn't there be
consequences to face for it?
**[46:00] Izuko**
Aren't I...
**[46:01] Izuko**
the worst kind of human imaginable?
**[46:05] Izuko**
The portion of your mind
that criticizes itself
**[46:08] Izuko**
manifested itself entirely
in the form of Ougi Oshino.
**[46:12] Izuko**
The girl you could call Dark Koyomin.
**[46:14] Izuko**
That is why, like the darkness,
she took things one by one,
**[46:18] Izuko**
with the case of Sodachi Oikura as
a springboard, and crushed them.
**[46:24] Izuko**
Meme Oshino and Yoduru Kagenui...
**[46:26] Izuko**
That, and probably Deishu Kaiki after he
finished the case concerning Nadeko Sengoku.
**[46:31] Izuko**
Rest assured, Koyomin.
**[46:33] Izuko**
If you exterminate Ougi Oshino,
you'll probably find them easily.
**[46:40] Izuko**
She still has things that are left undone.
**[46:44] Izuko**
Right. Tsukihi Araragi, your little sister.
**[46:47] Izuko**
The immortal apparition, the Shideno-bird.
**[46:50] Izuko**
There's no chance whatsoever that
part of you isn't concerned with whether
**[46:56] Izuko**
it's okay for her to live
while pretending to be a human being.
**[46:58] Izuko**
That's why I used her as a lure.
**[47:04] Izuko**
Yup, that's right. I have no evidence.
**[47:06] Izuko**
Everything I said just
now is only speculation.
**[47:09] Izuko**
But you understand it, don't you?
**[47:11] Izuko**
You know better than anyone else
**[47:13] Izuko**
the true identity of Ougi Oshino.
**[47:15] Izuko**
That is why it must be you who
discloses her true identity.
**[47:20] Izuko**
Go be victorious in the
battle against yourself.
**[47:22] Izuko**
It's rather simple, isn't it?
**[47:25] Izuko**
Killing yourself for the sake of others.
It's something you do every day.
**[47:29] Izuko**
It's Koyomi Araragi, the one
that you loathe the most.
**[47:34] Izuko**
So... go end it all.
**[47:36] Izuko**
By your hands, you need to end it all.
**[47:39] Izuko**
That is the end... of your adolescence.
***SIGN*** Ougi Dark Part Three
**[47:49] Koyomi**
Your true identity... is me.
**[47:52] Koyomi**
You are me.
**[47:54] Koyomi**
Ougi Oshino... is Koyomi Araragi.
**[48:12] Ougi**
Wow, that was rather quick.
The main act has already arrived?
**[48:18] Ougi**
Is it because of the severity of the
lies I told, the sins I have committed?
**[48:27] Ougi**
To think I was trying to act
the part of such a thing...
**[48:30] Ougi**
I have to say, I must
have been rather insane.
**[48:35] Koyomi**
Didn't you know that this
was going to happen?
**[48:40] Koyomi**
If you really are me,
**[48:44] Koyomi**
the fact that I'd be waiting here,
**[48:46] Koyomi**
the fact that I'd already
learned who you really are...
**[48:50] Koyomi**
If you knew, then why come?
**[48:53] Ougi**
There are times where you have to fight,
even if you know you're going to lose.
**[48:57] Ougi**
If I could say something akin to dying words,
**[49:00] Ougi**
I believe that, in my own way,
**[49:02] Ougi**
I was able to make Koyomi Araragi's
adolescence into something more right,
**[49:05] Ougi**
even if I couldn't make it better.
**[49:08] Koyomi**
If you're saying that this is right...
**[49:11] Koyomi**
Then I don't need what's right.
**[49:14] Koyomi**
Do you know how many problems you've
caused, for how many people?
**[49:18] Ougi**
If you're saying someone was harmed,
then I'll say that they deserved it.
**[49:23] Ougi**
It is not that I personally
have done anything.
**[49:26] Ougi**
In reality, you fully understand
that as well, don't you?
**[49:28] Ougi**
That trouble, harm, misfortune...
They aren't things that are cut-and-dry.
**[49:36] Koyomi**
So the right thing is cut-and-dry?
**[49:39] Koyomi**
What is right, and what is wrong...
Can you cut them apart?
**[49:44] Ougi**
Even if you can't decide what's right,
**[49:46] Ougi**
you can decide which side
is right, can't you?
**[49:50] Ougi**
In Sodachi Oikura's case, I was wrong.
**[49:53] Ougi**
In Nadeko Sengoku's case, I was right.
**[49:57] Ougi**
In Tadatsuru Teori's case...
I guess we call that a draw.
**[50:01] Ougi**
I had thought that I could win
that in a one-on-one fight.
***SIGN*** Challenge
**[50:06] Koyomi**
So after all this, Ougi-chan...
Me or you—who was right?
**[50:12] Ougi**
As I am the one disappearing like this,
it means that Araragi-senpai, you were right.
**[50:18] Ougi**
Congratulations, Araragi-senpai.
**[50:25] Ougi**
Everything you have done until
now has not been wrong.
**[50:28] Ougi**
It was right.
**[50:31] Ougi**
This is the end of adolescence.
**[50:33] Ougi**
Or perhaps the end of a story?
**[50:36] Ougi**
Oh, this is nothing significant at all.
**[50:39] Ougi**
It's not the end of one's life, and it's
far from enough to be the world's end.
**[50:44] Ougi**
It's just the end of one
of your many stories.
**[50:48] Ougi**
It's not even the final episode or anything.
**[50:50] Ougi**
I'm glad that I could disappear
like this before you graduated.
**[50:58] Ougi**
Thank you for all your hard work.
**[51:00] Ougi**
Farewell, Araragi-senpai.
**[51:06] Koyomi**
Farewell, Ougi-chan.
**[51:10] Koyomi**
*Farewell, Ougi Oshino.*
**[51:13] Koyomi**
*Farewell, my adolescence.*
**[51:23] Koyomi**
Never mind! I just can't do it!
**[51:36] Ougi**
A-Araragi-senpai? Wh-What are...
**[51:40] Ougi**
What are you... thinking?
**[51:48] Ougi**
You're not immortal, but you're
trying to save someone else.
**[51:52] Ougi**
I-In the end, that's how you are?
**[51:55] Ougi**
Do you throw your life away so
easily for the sake of others?
**[52:00] Ougi**
So you are going to save
even someone like me,
**[52:02] Ougi**
who did nothing but criticize
you and make you suffer?
**[52:08] Ougi**
What good does it do if you die?
**[52:10] Ougi**
What's the point of saving me here?
**[52:13] Ougi**
You're wrong after all.
**[52:17] Ougi**
You are wrong as a person.
**[52:20] Ougi**
You are the absolute worst as a person.
**[52:27] Koyomi**
I didn't... save someone else.
**[52:32] Koyomi**
Right now... I just saved myself.
**[52:37] Koyomi**
Hitagi did. Hanekawa did. Shinobu did.
Ononoki-chan did. Everyone saved me.
**[52:45] Koyomi**
If everyone had saved me,
and I didn't save myself?
**[52:51] Koyomi**
I just can't allow such a thing to happen!
**[53:04] Ougi**
Oh, brother.
**[53:06] Ougi**
I had planned for a solo suicide, but this ended
up being a lover's suicide, Araragi-senpai.
**[53:10] Ougi**
Let me make it clear, but I'm
not a young girl, you know?
**[53:14] Koyomi**
That doesn't matter. Even then, you're like a
newborn baby, born merely six month ago, right?
***SIGN*** Babies should be protected like this.
**[53:23] Koyomi**
If you're saying what I have been
doing until now wasn't wrong...
**[53:27] Koyomi**
...the fact that I'm doing this right now
should not be wrong, either.
**[53:34] Koyomi**
I am not wrong.
**[53:37] Koyomi**
Yup.
**[53:38] Koyomi**
Just as you are not wrong.
**[53:44] Ougi**
Really...
**[53:46] Ougi**
You are foolish.
**[53:48] Meme**
Not quite.
**[53:57] Meme**
I can't make fun of you...
**[53:59] Meme**
...as you finally fight for your own sake.
**[54:04] Meme**
I respect you, Araragi-kun.
**[54:10] Tsubasa**
I win.
**[54:15] Ougi**
This a joke.
**[54:16] Ougi**
Hanekawa-senpai really brought him here...
all the way from Antarctica.
**[54:22] Ougi**
She's really insane.
***SIGN*** Hitagi, if this is the case, it wasn't, "This is a pen." It was "dépaysement."
***SIGN*** Come to think of it, Ougi-chan had been alarmed at Hanekawa from the beginning.
***SIGN*** The name "Ougi"...
***SIGN*** actually was "ougi" because you put a "door" on "wings (hane)," wasn't it?
**[54:34] Meme**
Araragi-kun...
**[54:38] Meme**
You oh-so-violently pushed my cute little
niece down. What are you planning to do?
**[54:44] Meme**
Really, Araragi-kun, you're
so full of spirit.
**[54:48] Meme**
Did something nice happen
to you or something?
**[54:52] Meme**
You shouldn't be doing obscene things to your
underclassman when you have a lover.
***SIGN*** Niece?
***SIGN*** That's what he said. In reference to Ougi-chan.
***SIGN*** Meme Oshino said so.
**[55:05] Koyomi**
* Meme Oshino acknowledged*
* Ougi Oshino as a relative.*
**[55:11] Koyomi**
* What that signifies... is the*
* existence of Ougi Oshino.*
**[55:15] Koyomi**
*She was no longer a fabrication or a lie.*
***SIGN*** That is why...
***SIGN*** ...the "darkness" disappeared.
**[55:25] Koyomi**
You helped us, Oshino.
**[55:28] Meme**
I didn't really help or anything.
**[55:30] Meme**
You just helped yourself out
on your own, Araragi-kun.
**[55:37] Meme**
Well done.
**[55:42] Ougi**
Gweh...
**[55:46] Koyomi**
*Ougi Oshino became Ougi Oshino.*
**[55:49] Koyomi**
* And thus, the adolescence of me,*
* Koyomi Araragi, came to an end.*
**[55:53] Koyomi**
* I had believed that not taking care of*
* myself was the act of loving others.*
**[55:58] Koyomi**
* The days of kind deception, filled with thin,*
* weak euphoria, have now come to an end.*
**[56:09] Koyomi**
*An epilogue.*
***SIGN*** March 15th
**[56:12] Karen**
Big Brother! It's morning, damn it!
**[56:14] Tsukihi**
If you don't get up, you'll be late!
**[56:16] Karen & Tsukihi**
Jeez!
**[56:25] Koyomi**
By the way, Tsukihi-chan,
what were you wishing for?
**[56:29] Koyomi**
I mean, about your hair.
**[56:31] Tsukihi**
I was actually wishing your exams would go well,
and also a bit about Nadeko-chan.
**[56:36] Tsukihi**
As it was about my hair (kami), I was
wishing upon the Lord God (kami).
**[56:38] Tsukihi**
That is, if he exists.
**[56:41] Tsukihi**
In any case, Big Brother's entrance exams are
over, and Nadeko-chan has gotten better for now.
**[56:46] Tsukihi**
Mm, maybe there is a God out there.
**[56:49] Koyomi**
Yeah, starting yesterday.
**[56:51] Tsukihi**
Hmm?
**[56:52] Koyomi**
Oh, nothing.
**[56:54] Tsukihi**
I see.
**[57:00] Karen**
Big Brother, Big Brother! Since I'm going
to be in high school starting next month,
**[57:04] Karen**
we won't be able to make
out like we have been.
**[57:09] Karen**
So let's take one last meal,
feeding mouth-to-mouth!
**[57:13] Karen**
And let's brush each others' teeth!
**[57:16] Koyomi**
What you need to brush
up is your intelligence.
**[57:18] Koyomi**
Well, you know, Karen-chan.
**[57:21] Koyomi**
Even after you disband the Fire Sisters
of Tsuganoki 2nd Middle School,
**[57:24] Koyomi**
are you going to continue acting
as an advocate of justice?
**[57:26] Karen**
I can't help it!
***SIGN*** To correct, maybe she wanted to say, "By all possible means!"
***SIGN*** To be right, that is.
**[57:30] Koyomi**
Karen-chan, in your case, what did
the "right thing" turn out to be?
**[57:34] Karen**
Helping others!
**[57:36] Koyomi**
I see.
**[57:40] Koyomi**
Then why not start by helping yourself?
***SIGN*** You too.
**[57:47] Koyomi**
Hey, Hachikuji!
**[57:49] Mayoi**
Please don't speak to me!
***SIGN*** Name: God Mayoi Hachikuji
**[57:51] Mayoi**
I am a god now!
**[57:55] Mayoi**
If you insist that you wish to speak to me,
after two bows, two claps, and one bow...
***SIGN*** One bow Two claps Two bows
***SIGN*** Manners in visitation
**[58:00] Mayoi**
...make a monetary offering, and speak
as if you were speaking to a god.
**[58:04] Koyomi**
Who would talk to someone like that?
I'll totally ignore you.
**[58:08] Mayoi**
Araragi-san, are you heading to
your graduation ceremony today?
**[58:11] Mayoi**
Thank you for all your hard work.
**[58:17] Mayoi**
Normally, I would attend the graduation
ceremony and celebrate your achievement.
**[58:22] Mayoi**
But if a god were to attend, the common people
might start clamoring... so I'll be considerate.
**[58:27] Koyomi**
Nobody will visit your shrine. We're going
to end up as a town without a god again!
**[58:32] Mayoi**
Hahaha! Oh, don't say that.
You can come by any time.
**[58:36] Mayoi**
North Shirahebi Shrine is free to visit,
so really, come visit at any time.
**[58:42] Koyomi**
Yeah, I'll go visit at any time.
**[58:45] Koyomi**
At your home.
**[58:46] Mayoi**
Yes, at my home!
**[58:51] Izuko**
By the way, are you really all
right with this, Shinobu-san?
**[58:54] Izuko**
Your desire to be sealed away once
again within Koyomin's shadow
**[58:58] Izuko**
is something I find difficult to comprehend.
**[59:01] Izuko**
If there's some rationale behind
this, I'd like to know it.
**[59:06] Kiss-shot**
There is none.
**[59:07] Kiss-shot**
Besides, my desire to once again be
deemed harmless, as I tire of battle...
**[59:14] Kiss-shot**
is something a specialist shouldn't
find too difficult to comprehend.
***SIGN*** From a young girl (youjo) to a phantom woman (youjo).
***SIGN*** And then, to wish to return to a young girl once again.
**[59:21] Kiss-shot**
Of course, if my master, now that his vampiric
nature has been successfully removed,
**[59:29] Kiss-shot**
is unwilling to return once again to the
state of being a quasi-human, quasi-vampire,
**[59:35] Kiss-shot**
I shall retract my own desires.
**[59:39] Kiss-shot**
After I heal that arm, I will retreat to a
mountain somewhere, and live a secluded life.
**[59:45] Koyomi**
Like I'd let you.
**[59:48] Koyomi**
The mountains don't have any
Mister Donut stores, Shinobu.
**[59:54] Kiss-shot**
Oh, that's right.
**[59:58] Koyomi**
If you were to die tomorrow, I'd be fine with
tomorrow being the last day of my life.
**[1:00:03] Koyomi**
If you were to live through today,
I will also choose to live through today.
**[1:00:09] Kiss-shot**
If you were to die the day after tomorrow,
I shall live for three days' time...
**[1:00:14] Kiss-shot**

**[1:00:18] Kiss-shot**
I shall recite the story of my master
with pride to a listening ear.

Morning, Araragi-kun.
**[1:00:41] Koyomi**
Morning, Hanekawa.
**[1:00:45] Koyomi**
Why are you here at the bicycle lot?
**[1:00:47] Tsubasa**
Of course, I was waiting
for you, Araragi-kun.
**[1:00:49] Tsubasa**
Because there were a lot of things
I wanted to talk to you about.
**[1:00:53] Tsubasa**
I have to take off right after
the graduation ceremony is over.
**[1:00:58] Tsubasa**
So I thought this was the only
time I'd get to talk to you.
**[1:01:03] Koyomi**
Do you have to leave right away
because of the flight you booked?
**[1:01:08] Tsubasa**
Mm... Actually...
**[1:01:12] Tsubasa**
In bringing Oshino-san back from Antarctica,
I sold off a bit of my brains.
**[1:01:17] Koyomi**
Sold off your brains?
**[1:01:19] Koyomi**
*What? That doesn't sound good...*
**[1:01:21] Tsubasa**
I guess you call them "jet setters"?
**[1:01:23] Tsubasa**
Well, I had to go that far
to charter a fighter plane.
**[1:01:29] Tsubasa**
It's fine. I sold it off to a
relatively honest institution.

By the way, they think that Kagenui-san
is probably at the North Pole.

so I chose the continent.

Ononoki-chan wanted to go get her, but she declined,
**[1:02:04] Koyomi**
saying she's busy with some kind of
familiar sounding training ritual
**[1:02:08] Koyomi**
which involves fighting polar bears.
**[1:02:09] Tsubasa**
Oh? Then, what happened to Ononoki-chan?
What is she doing now?
***SIGN*** Graduation Ceremony Site
**[1:02:13] Koyomi**
She's still at my house.
**[1:02:15] Tsubasa**
That's...
**[1:02:16] Koyomi**
Well, a part of it is that Gaen-san
and Oshino left all too suddenly.

**[1:02:21] Koyomi**
It looks like adults are
pretty busy in many ways.
**[1:02:24] Tsubasa**
Adults?

**[1:02:26] Tsubasa**
But we're going to join

Hitagi and I are still students.

You're the only one that
is becoming an adult.
**[1:02:35] Tsubasa**
"Hitagi"?
**[1:02:36] Tsubasa**
Oh, I see, I see. Something like
that happened while I was gone?
**[1:02:41] ---**

**[1:02:42] Koyomi**
Wait, wait, wait. Don't make hasty decisions.
**[1:02:44] Koyomi**
Perhaps things haven't gone
as far as you think they have.
**[1:02:48] Tsubasa**
I'm glad, I'm glad. Now, I can take off
without worrying about a thing.
**[1:02:56] Hitagi**
Morning, Araragi-kun.
**[1:02:58] Tsubasa**
Oh? You're not going to call him "Koyomi"?
**[1:03:07] Hitagi**
Morning, Koyomi.
**[1:03:11] Hitagi**
And welcome back, Tsubasa.
**[1:03:17] Tsubasa**
I'm back, Hitagi-chan.
***SIGN*** Thursday, March 15th
**[1:03:21] Hitagi**
Koyomi, Kanbaru apparently has prepared
a present for us as a graduation gift.
**[1:03:26] Koyomi**
Really? A present from Kanbaru...
That makes me nervous.
**[1:03:32] Hitagi**
Well, she isn't one to prepare something
strange for something like this.
**[1:03:36] Hitagi**
I probed a bit, and it seems to
be an ordinary flower bouquet.
**[1:03:41] Koyomi**
Flowers, huh...
**[1:04:01] Hitagi & Tsubasa**
Off you go!
**[1:04:05] Koyomi**
Yeah.
**[1:04:07] Koyomi**
Pick up my diploma for me!
***SIGN*** I'm on my way.
**[1:04:24] Ougi**
You haven't changed, Araragi-senpai.
**[1:04:28] Koyomi**
No, I'm changing.
**[1:04:30] Koyomi**
But no matter how much I change...
**[1:04:33] Koyomi**
I am still me.

Once upon a time, in a certain place,
there was a weirdo called Koyomi Araragi.
**[1:05:32] Shinobu**
And he still is around to this day.
**[1:05:36] Shinobu**
And they all lived happily ever after.
**[1:05:39] Koyomi**
* I heard the story recited from*
* the shadow that was running with me.*
**[1:05:43] Koyomi**
* I was curious to see*
* what happened next in the story.*
