[00:06] ---
    R-Returned? To this town?
[00:10] ---
    Yeah. Back when I was in college,
[00:12] ---
    I thought of using a spell of resurrection
    and a corpse that had been in use for 100 years
[00:17] ---
    to create the immortal shikigami apparition
    named Yotsugi Ononoki.
[00:21] ---
    That was exactly 15 years ago.
[00:23] ---
    And the phoenix found its next host
    around then as well...
[00:29] ---
    That's why he, the ashes that make up the first one,
    gathered to this town right around then.
[00:36] ---
    That's what Big Sister here thinks happened.
[00:38] ---
    FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
[00:40] ---
    Speaking of 15 years ago,
    there's one more thing I can associate it with.
[00:45] ---
    Tsubasa Hanekawa became "Tsubasa Hanekawa"
    sometime around when she was three years old.
[00:50] ---
    Which means, that'd be
    about 15 years ago, right?
[00:54] ---
    Tsukumo-gami.
[00:56] ---
    Phoenix.
[00:57] ---
    Cat...
[00:58] ---
    No, if I start saying that,
    there's no need to focus soley on 15 years ago.
[01:04] ---
    If that's the story, then you can think
    of the time between 15 years ago and now
[01:08] ---
    not as a specific moment,
    but as a span.
[01:11] ---
    As of 11 years ago,
    lost on its way was... a snail.
[01:14] ---
    Seven years ago,
    a wish was granted by... a monkey.
[01:17] ---
    Three years ago,
    what took away some weight was... a crab.
[01:20] ---
    Even the snake just two months ago
    would fall under this category as well.
[01:24] ---
    It can't be...
[01:26] ---
    All of the numerous stories of apparitions
    that have been told in this town
[01:29] ---
    ASH
[01:30] ---
    are because that ash or whatever
    came drifting along with the wind?
[01:33] ---
    Of course not.
[01:35] ---
    Yoduru and company making Yotsugi
    wasn't something that happened in this town.
[01:39] ---
    ASH COW CAT BEE SNAKE MONKEY
[01:39] ---
    It's merely a distant cause.
    I guess you can call it a suggestive code.
[01:44] ---
    Basically, all the apparitions
    you've encountered are all your fault.
[01:48] ---
    You can't evade responsibility.
[01:51] ---
    However, during spring break,
[01:53] ---
    the fact that Kiss-shot Acerola-orion
    Heart-under-blade visited this town...
[02:00] ---
    ...definitely had something to do
    with that ash.
[02:05] ---
    OWARIMONOGATARI
[02:07] ---
    SHINOBU MAIL, PART FOUR
[02:11] ---
    You're speaking nonsense.
[02:13] ---
    And you call yourself the younger sister
    of that Hawaiian shirt boy?
[02:16] ---
    I MEAN, THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE
[02:17] ---
    The reason I visited this country back then
    was because I wanted to see Mount Fuji.
[02:23] ---
    But this mountain isn't Mount Fuji.
[02:26] ---
    This prefecture isn't Shizuoka or Yamanashi.
[02:29] ---
    Did you get lost on your way?
[02:31] ---
    Or was it because three vampire hunters
    were chasing you?
[02:33] ---
    That's not it. You didn't get lost.
[02:36] ---
    You were guided here... to this town.
[02:40] ---
    Guided...
[02:43] ---
    What can I say. All of the things
    that have tossed me around were...
[02:48] ---
    ...well, converging on this one man.
[02:51] ---
    That manner in which
    Gaen spoke was disgusting.
[02:54] ---
    No. It's simply unpleasant.
[02:57] ---
    What's with this feeling?
    It's as if... I'm feeling jealous.
[03:02] ---
    Impossible.
[03:03] ---
    Such a thing is impossible.
[03:05] ---
    He died. He's dead.
[03:08] ---
    He wasn't persuaded by my words,
    and threw away his own life.
[03:12] ---
    He's a huge idiot.
[03:13] ---
    What you're saying is nothing more
    than a farfetched interpretation.
[03:17] ---
    Don't make fun of my lack
    of a sense of direction.
[03:20] ---
    You seem to be asserting yourself
    pretty strongly there, Shinobu.
[03:24] ---
    It's as if you'd be troubled if the man
    who was the first one was still alive, you know?
[03:30] ---
    If your beloved slave was still alive,
    and if he was about to be resurrected,
[03:35] ---
    that would be cause for congratulations.
[03:38] ---
    CONGRATULATIONS
[03:39] ---
    If anything, I can arrange a party
    or something, you know?
[03:43] ---
    Don't overstep your bounds, specialist.
    Don't cross into a delicate area for me.
[03:48] ---
    What do you claim to know
    about the events 400 years ago?
[03:52] ---
    I know everything...
[03:55] ---
    There's nothing I don't know.
[03:57] ---
    Changing the rendezvous point from the park
    to the shrine has its appropriate reason as well.
[04:00] ---
    CHANGE —> NORTH SHIRAHEBI SHRINE
[04:02] ---
    Can I ask one question, Ms. Izuko?
[04:05] ---
    Sure, Ms. Suruga Kanbaru.
[04:07] ---
    Well, when this guy drifted into this town 15 years ago,
    he was already basically just ashes, right?
[04:13] ---
    Then, how, and with what catalyst,
    did that cycle end,
[04:16] ---
    with him revealing himself to Araragi-senpai
    as an armor-clad samurai like that?
[04:22] ---
    What do you think is the reason,
    Ms. Suruga Kanbaru?
[04:26] ---
    I have no idea.
[04:28] ---
    But that reason has something to do with
    why you changed the rendezvous point, right?
[04:32] ---
    You're sharp.
[04:34] ---
    You truly have talent
    that's a shame to keep out in the wild.
[04:38] ---
    I might only be thinking that
    because I'm often consulted as a senpai.
[04:44] ---
    I do wish, Ms. Suruga Kanbaru,
    that you'd support this upperclassman right here.
[04:50] ---
    TIMELINE
[04:50] ---
    Fifteen years ago was when he -
    the first one - came back to this town.
[04:54] ---
    He ended his wanderings, and drifted ashore
    onto this town that was his homeland.
[04:59] ---
    He reached the goal of the tour of hell
    that he felt was eternal.
[05:03] ---
    Homeland?
[05:04] ---
    And every speck of ash that drifted in
    gathered at the location that was the town's air spot,
[05:10] ---
    right here, at the North Shirahebi Shrine.
[05:14] ---
    FIVE
[05:15] ---
    FOUR
[05:16] ---
    THREE
[05:17] ---
    TWO
[05:18] ---
    ONE
[05:20] ---
    As you can see, this shrine has fallen into ruin.
[05:23] ---
    But of course, it wasn't always like this.
[05:27] ---
    Fifteen years ago,
    this shrine was still properly maintained.
[05:32] ---
    I heard it was a small, coherent, good shrine.
[05:35] ---
    In this case "small" and "coherent" aren't used
    as an insult, but rather as a compliment.
[05:40] ---
    They had to keep it small and coherent.
[05:42] ---
    After all, this place is an air spot.
[05:45] ---
    An air spot for apparitions.
[05:48] ---
    Where they're likely to show up.
    Where they're likely to gather.
[05:51] ---
    A location where "bad things" that aren't
    full apparitions yet gather (shuuketsu).
[05:54] ---
    And the location where apparitions
    are terminated (shuuketsu).
[05:58] ---
    If you sieze point after point like that,
    and control each key location...
[06:02] ---
    You can prevent accidents from happening.
    You can avoid them.
[06:05] ---
    Big Brother Meme's job is to collect stories
    of apparitions that have already happened.
[06:10] ---
    But the job of someone like me
    is originally more along these lines.
[06:12] ---
    In other words, prevention, so that
    things are stopped before they happen.
[06:16] ---
    On the other hand,
    if those scattered spots,
[06:19] ---
    the key locations, can't be controlled,
    we can't prevent accidents.
[06:23] ---
    Because this was such a location...
[06:26] ---
    "AIR SPOT FOR APPARITIONS"
[06:27] ---
    ...in the past, a famed onmyouji I can't even begin
    to compare myself to created the shrine,
[06:32] ---
    enshrined the god,
    and went forth to maintain things.
[06:36] ---
    That had mostly gone well.
[06:39] ---
    The defense system was properly working.
[06:42] ---
    The "bad things" gathered here,
[06:43] ---
    that become ingredients for apparitions,
    were dispersed in moderation.
[06:48] ---
    There must've been a good god here.
[06:51] ---
    But everything has its limits.
[06:54] ---
    Let's see... Koyomin,
    I hear you're prepping for college right now.
[06:58] ---
    If so, do you carry any talismans or anything?
[07:00] ---
    Talismans.
[07:01] ---
    Do you know those things can expire?
[07:04] ---
    When the guardian note inside the bag rips,
    the talisman expires.
[07:09] ---
    It just means that even the most miraculous
    of items doesn't have an infinite effect.
[07:14] ---
    This shrine, and the god enshrined in it,
    reached their limits 15 years ago.
[07:20] ---
    But in that case, it's too harsh to blame
    the shrine's caretaker, or even the enshrined god.
[07:26] ---
    It was completely beyond expectation.
[07:28] ---
    For the ashes of the first minion
    of the legendary vampire to gather...
[07:34] ---
    It reached its breaking point.
[07:36] ---
    Its limit.
[07:38] ---
    As a result, 15 years ago,
    this North Shirahebi Shrine collapsed.
[07:42] ---
    Both in the occult sense,
    and in the physical sense.
[07:46] ---
    To crush a shrine as ash...
    Shinobu, your minion really is something.
[07:52] ---
    The fact that he was originally a specialist
    probably has something to do with it.
[07:56] ---
    What's wrong, Koyomin?
[07:58] ---
    From the look on your face,
    it seems like you understand.
[08:02] ---
    The other day,
    when you time-slipped to the past,
[08:04] ---
    you saw that North Shirahebi Shrine 11 years ago
    was in far worse condition than it is now,
[08:09] ---
    and I guess this inadvertently explained why?
[08:12] ---
    That's right, that was his doing, the first one.
[08:17] ---
    The shrine that was supposed to
    hold down the fort...
[08:19] ---
    Couldn't hold down
    the minion of the vampire.
[08:22] ---
    Just for reference, let me say
    that there wasn't just one,
[08:26] ---
    but two and three
    attempts to renew this shrine.
[08:30] ---
    But an empty shrine with no god
[08:33] ---
    has no constructive meaning,
    even if it's all patched up.
[08:36] ---
    Each time they attempted a renewal,
    it collapsed, broke, and fell into ruin.
[08:41] ---
    The nuisance was that Shinobu, or rather,
    Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade
[08:47] ---
    and her minion, the first one,
[08:49] ---
    have a power that draws apparitions to them
    just by existing, like moths to a fire.
[08:55] ---
    That's what happened 11 years ago.
[08:57] ---
    When you two visited this shrine back then,
    "bad things" filled these ruined grounds, correct?
[09:04] ---
    I'm sure you were wondering why they had gathered
    to such a density, but that's nothing special.
[09:10] ---
    It was what he, the first one - or rather, his ashes -
    had gathered as the ingredients for an apparition.
[09:16] ---
    As ingredients... and as food.
[09:18] ---
    If I explain this much,
[09:20] ---
    even without specialized knowledge,
    you should have a good idea of what happened.
[09:25] ---
    Why the ashes of he, the first one,
    escaped from the cycle of reincarnation.
[09:31] ---
    That's right.
[09:32] ---
    If this shrine was
    a "place that gathers easily,"
[09:34] ---
    and the first one was
    "an apparition that can gather easily"...
[09:38] ---
    In other words, all the conditions
    for an accident to happen converged here.
[09:43] ---
    Accidents overlapped.
[09:46] ---
    The first one, within the grounds of this shrine,
    within the godless grounds of this shrine...
[09:51] ---
    This whole time,
    he kept eating in order to regain his stamina.
[09:56] ---
    The cycle of repeating ash and void now ended.
[10:00] ---
    And what began would span the next 15 years...
[10:03] ---
    A tragic tale of him finding revival.
[10:06] ---
    A tale of revival...
[10:08] ---
    Perhaps this may have been
    a tale of seeking revenge instead.
[10:18] ---
    Looks like this is a good time.
    I finished up with most of the explanations.
[10:23] ---
    Koyomin, Shinobu, Ms. Suruga Kanbaru,
    is there anything else you don't understand?
[10:28] ---
    W-Well, there are so many more things
    that I don't understand at all...
[10:32] ---
    I-In the first place,
    what should we do now?
[10:35] ---
    What do you want us to do
    to try to help your work—
[10:39] ---
    I want you to take responsibility.
[10:41] ---
    Therefore...
[10:42] ---
    I'll let you take it.
    I'll let you inherit the responsibility.
[10:47] ---
    You, Koyomin, and Shinobu.
[10:50] ---
    You said that, at first, you planned
    for Ononoki to do this job alone.
[10:56] ---
    That this situation
    exceeded your expectations.
[10:58] ---
    Then can you tell us
    what the original plan was?
[11:03] ---
    That's fine, but it's impossible to act out,
    so it's kinda pointless to tell you.
[11:09] ---
    Do you remember why
    Big Brother Meme came to this town?
[11:13] ---
    It was because Shinobu came here, right?
[11:15] ---
    I believe it was the same for Kaiki, too.
[11:18] ---
    As for Kagenui, I think she came here
    because she heard the story from Kaiki.
[11:23] ---
    Right. Various specialists, all quirky and distinctive,
    came to this town for similar reasons.
[11:30] ---
    But the reports of their investigations
    came to me.
[11:33] ---
    EVEN STILL, I'M AMAZING.
[11:35] ---
    As a result of that, as the result of the close review
    of the information submitted by each of them,
[11:39] ---
    I came to understand
    that there was a strange chain of events,
[11:42] ---
    a certain situation,
    happening in this town as of 15 years ago.
[11:47] ---
    And so, I sent Yotsugi to this town once again.
[11:51] ---
    Her job was to clean up the ashes.
    Simply put, cleaning up the shrine.
[11:56] ---
    On the last day of summer break,
    when she bumped into me in town,
[12:01] ---
    she didn't seem to know what her mission was.
[12:03] ---
    But after that, she was given a mission
    that resembled the story of Cinderella?
[12:08] ---
    But in the end, this means all of that failed, right?
[12:12] ---
    Would Ononoki even fail a mission?
[12:15] ---
    She's the one that saved
    both my and Shinobu lives in one evening.
[12:19] ---
    She's a diligent worker, you know?
[12:22] ---
    But Ononoki does have
    a super-airheaded side to her as well.
[12:27] ---
    Maybe there are times when she screws up.
[12:29] ---
    You're talking as if
    it has nothing to do with you, Koyomin.
[12:33] ---
    Yotsugi's failure was you guys' fault.
[12:36] ---
    O-Our fault?
[12:39] ---
    Can it be...
[12:41] ---
    ...that it has something to do with the fact that Shinobu and I
    used the "bad things" pooled up in this air spot,
[12:47] ---
    which had been sealed away by Oshino,
    and was merely awaiting to be dispersed, as a source of energy?
[12:56] ---
    IS THERE SOMETHING THAT COMES TO MIND?
[12:58] ---
    Shinobu didn't do anything.
[13:00] ---
    She didn't do anything...
    She didn't have to do anything.
[13:04] ---
    It was enough that she came to this shrine.
[13:08] ---
    Honestly, I don't know just how much
    of the situation Big Brother Meme grasped.
[13:13] ---
    He doesn't speak much
    and only reports the bare minimum.
[13:18] ---
    The only thing that's certain is that he used talismans
    he had on hand to do some first aid on this shrine.
[13:23] ---
    Thanks to that band-aid treatment,
[13:25] ---
    you could say we set it up
    so that we cut off the first one's supply.
[13:30] ---
    But in such a situation of hunger, he...
[13:32] ---
    Being cornered into an extreme case once again,
    in such a mental state, he found out.
[13:38] ---
    He saw Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade.
[13:42] ---
    He witnessed her for the first time in 400 years.
[13:50] ---
    It was a one-sided observation.
[13:53] ---
    Shinobu, that was the first time
    you came to North Shirahebi Shrine, right?
[13:58] ---
    In other words... He found power
    by seeing Shinobu for the first time in 400 years.
[14:03] ---
    That inspired the first one to rise up,
    despite his body being nothing but ashes.
[14:06] ---
    And, even though he was in a state
    of severe hunger, he revived himself?
[14:11] ---
    Who said the situation was so romantic?
[14:14] ---
    Simply put, an existence similar in nature
    to another existence...
[14:17] ---
    LIKE IT'S SOME TEEN ROMANTIC COMEDY
[14:18] ---
    ...showed up in a nearby location.
[14:20] ---
    The first one was affected by that,
    and his apparition's nature swiftly became excited.
[14:26] ---
    That's why, when Yotsugi came here
    after receiving the mission,
[14:29] ---
    the North Shirahebi Shrine
    was completely empty.
[14:33] ---
    After saying this much...
[14:34] ---
    This time for sure, you know what the job
    I want to ask you to do is, right?
[14:40] ---
    It's to look for the first one.
[14:42] ---
    The first and the second one are both slaves,
    so they should be drawn to one another.
[14:45] ---
    If anything, the person to summon
    first and foremost would be Kagenui, right?
[14:50] ---
    Ononoki's master, the violent onmyouji
    that specializes in immortal apparitions.
[14:55] ---
    I can't control her.
[14:57] ---
    I'd like her to lament for her entire life
    that she has no opportunities to use her power.
[15:00] ---
    It's amazing that she'd make Gaen
    say something of this nature.
[15:00] ---
    HINIKU NO TAN
[15:04] ---
    But, well, I guess Ononoki is enough
    for combat personnel, then...
[15:08] ---
    Negative.
[15:09] ---
    At the point when I heard
    the status report from Yotsugi,
[15:12] ---
    in other words, at the point when I heard the report
    that Koyomin had come in contact with the first one,
[15:17] ---
    I called for one more assistant.
[15:19] ---
    I have to go pick him up pretty soon, too.
[15:22] ---
    B-But, an assistant?
    Isn't Ononoki enough for this?
[15:26] ---
    She's not.
[15:27] ---
    Big Sister here wants to settle the score
    once and for all today.
[15:31] ---
    Now that he has a will, has a conscience,
    and can arbitrarily use energy drains...
[15:36] ---
    The longer we leave him be,
    the stronger he gets.
[15:39] ---
    The game keeps doubling up.
[15:41] ---
    If you take it easy,
    he'll be completely revived.
[15:45] ---
    And if that happens,
    he'll be impossible to control.
[15:47] ---
    That will be the point when we have no choice
    but to call for Yoduru.
[15:50] ---
    BIG MONSTER
[15:51] ---
    She speaks of Kagenui
    like some inhumane weapon or something...
[15:54] ---
    No matter what,
[15:56] ---
    I'd like to kill him...
    before he eats a human.
[16:05] ---
    Now, Big Sister will step out for a bit.
[16:07] ---
    5000 YEN
[16:08] ---
    If you get hungry, you can use this
    to go buy some breakfast, Koyomin.
[16:16] ---
    What are we going to do, Shinobu?
[16:18] ---
    There's no ifs, ands, or buts.
[16:20] ---
    There was an irregularity, but from here on,
    everything will go according to that specialist's plans.
[16:26] ---
    No matter what we do,
    he'll be exterminated before the night is over.
[16:31] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[16:33] ---
    It's not something
    we should do anything about at this point.
[16:36] ---
    There's the possibility he'll power up
    if we get close to him.
[16:40] ---
    So unlike you, I probably won't see his face at all.
[16:45] ---
    This will all be dealt with without me.
[16:50] ---
    I'll tell you this. My master,
    you shouldn't think of anything unnecessary.
[16:55] ---
    That woman may have said things
    to rile you up for fun...
[16:59] ---
    But for me, there is no "first" or "second"
    in terms of my minions.
[17:03] ---
    I've lived for over 500 years...
    The order doesn't matter at all.
[17:07] ---
    The other day, when I told the story of the past,
    did I not preface the story with instructions?
[17:12] ---
    P-Preface?
[17:14] ---
    Don't show worthless envy.
[17:16] ---
    Leave it at a cute level of jealousy.
[17:19] ---
    Don't be distressed.
[17:20] ---
    Right now, you're the only one for me.
[17:30] ---
    Given that I can't go home quite yet,
    I can't afford to fast all the way till evening...
[17:35] ---
    With the pairing with Shinobu severed right now,
    I can't say I'm very resistant to hunger.
[17:40] ---
    I can't let my underclassman starve, either.
[17:44] ---
    I request donuts.
[17:46] ---
    Should I go run over and get some?
[17:48] ---
    No, I've hardly done anything up till now,
    so I'd like to at least go do the shopping.
[17:53] ---
    All right. Then I'll watch over Shinobu.
[17:57] ---
    I'll take care of Shinobu for you.
[18:01] ---
    Is it all right to leave Shinobu and Kanbaru alone?
    They've only just met.
[18:07] ---
    But I can't go shopping toting Shinobu around
    in this current situation.
[18:11] ---
    Though it's safe because it's daytime,
    I should have Shinobu stay put for now.
[18:17] ---
    Then, Araragi-senpai.
[18:19] ---
    Since you're going shopping...
    I apologize for being rude,
[18:22] ---
    but can I ask you to get something for me?
[18:25] ---
    What is it? You can ask anything.
[18:28] ---
    I'd like you to buy a book.
    It's a new book that's coming out today.
[18:32] ---
    Coming out today? I see, that's fine.
    Then, I'll go buy it for you.
[18:36] ---
    It's a light-novel, so are you okay with that?
[18:38] ---
    Come on now, that bothers me, Kanbaru.
[18:41] ---
    Do you think I'm one of those people that
    treats light-novels like degenerate art or something?
[18:46] ---
    I'm a high school boy that buys super-girly
    shoujo manga with the cover facing up!
[18:51] ---
    I wouldn't think that
    buying books would be embarrassing!
[18:54] ---
    Hearing that reassures me.
[18:56] ---
    So, what's the title?
[18:58] ---
    "Brutal Garçon Huff-Huffs a Half-Blood Boy!"
[19:00] ---
    BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!
[19:01] ---
    That's one of those light-novels
    that aren't exactly light-hearted!
[19:04] ---
    What kind of book are you asking
    your upperclassman to buy you?
[19:07] ---
    In the end, you're reading BL stuff...
    And what's with that title?
[19:11] ---
    BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!!
[19:11] ---
    The title isn't everything for a novel.
[19:14] ---
    Lately, the world of literature has been
    putting emphasis on the title as well.
[19:18] ---
    But past masterpieces often have a title that
    makes you think it's nothing more than a vague idea.
[19:23] ---
    BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!!
    21ST BOOK
[19:23] ---
    Well, it's true that a novel is about its contents.
[19:26] ---
    But can the contents of that book
    be something to look forward to?
[19:29] ---
    Yes, it can. This one, the 21st book in the series,
    is especially highly anticipated by the experts.
[19:35] ---
    923: NAMELESS EXPERT
    NEW TITLE IS HERE
    BRUTAL ASSAULT IS MY FAVORITE!
    SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RELEASE DATE.
[19:36] ---
    The series has gone on way too long!
    And who are "the experts"?
[19:39] ---
    In the newest installment,
    the biggest mystery of the series since volume 1...
[19:44] ---
    BIGGEST MYSTERY
    "GRANDCHILD OF A 'GAL'?"
[19:44] ---
    Whether or not the Brutal Garçon
    is really "the grandchild of a 'gal'" will be revealed.
[19:48] ---
    He probably is the grandchild of a "gal"!
[19:50] ---
    The author really dragged out
    a mystery like that for 20 books?
[19:53] ---
    Actually, the line I said
    to you yesterday, Araragi-senpai...
[19:56] ---
    "Eat up!"
[19:57] ---
    KEYWORD
    "EAT UP"
[19:57] ---
    That line was something I borrowed
    from the main character of that series.
[20:01] ---
    To think it was a line from a boys-love series...
[20:03] ---
    I THOUGHT IT WAS CUTE!
[20:05] ---
    You're not going to buy it for me?
    Then I guess I'll just go home.
[20:09] ---
    I'll buy it! You'll be satisfied if I buy it, right?
[20:11] ---
    Oh, that's right... Araragi-senpai,
    if you could, can you buy me a brassiere?
[20:17] ---
    I can't do that, so I can't buy that for you.
[20:20] ---
    It's fine. I know you can do it, Araragi-senpai.
[20:22] ---
    Kanbaru, for some reason,
    you expect too much from Araragi-senpai.
[20:27] ---
    I don't care about the design.
[20:28] ---
    You can use your aesthetic sense
    to pick one, Araragi-senpai.
[20:30] ---
    Don't ask me about my aesthetic sense
    for picking out a brassiere.
[20:33] ---
    I mean, there are all sorts
    of designs for brassieres,
[20:36] ---
    but in the end,
    it's what goes in it that counts.
[20:39] ---
    Don't make it sound like a good line.
[20:41] ---
    I'm at my limit of being braless.
    I really do want to cherish its contents.
[20:45] ---
    You say "for some reason," but right now,
    I just want to put a brassiere on.
[20:49] ---
    Let's draw the line here.
[20:55] ---
    Here it is...
[20:56] ---
    "Brutal Garçon Huff-Huffs a Half-Blood Boy!"
[20:58] ---
    It's an amazing cover
    that lives up to its title.
[21:01] ---
    BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!
    (SECOND HALF)
[21:01] ---
    It is a bit embarrassing
    to buy just these two books...
[21:03] ---
    21ST BOOK PUBLISHED!!
    THE MYSTERY OF WHETHER GARÇON
    IS A GRANDCHILD OF A "GAL"!
    "EAT UP"
    GARÇON SERIES 1-20 ON SALE!!
[21:06] ---
    I don't think it's manly to buy other books
    as camouflage when buying certain books.
[21:06] ---
    BRUTAL GARÇON HUFF-HUFFS A HALF-BLOOD BOY!
    (FIRST HALF)
[21:11] ---
    But in this case, I think it might be better
    to hide the manliness instead.
[21:17] ---
    Come to think, it's been a long time
    since I was paired with Shinobu.
[21:21] ---
    But because it was severed
    by the "darkness,"
[21:24] ---
    for the first time in a while,
    I was acting alone in the true meaning of the phrase.
[21:29] ---
    Taking my own course.
[21:30] ---
    Freedom.
[21:31] ---
    If so, can I take this momentary freedom,
    without worrying about people's or apparitions' eyes,
[21:35] ---
    this gap of lost time,
    and make the most of it?
[21:37] ---

[21:42] ---
    It seems that lately, because I've often
    been having fun with Shinobu, Ononoki, and Hachikuji,
[21:48] ---
    the suspicion that I have a Lolita complex
    is growing day by day.
[21:51] ---
    The times are the times,
    the situation is the situation.
[21:54] ---
    In order to clear me of any suspicion,
    I need to employ the opposite strategy right now.
