[00:16] ---
Sorry to interrupt
while you're waxing sentimental, devil boy.
[00:19] ---
DEVIL BOY
[00:20] ---
What in the world happened?
[00:22] ---
You probably can't help
brooding over that snail girl, but...
[00:26] ---
I'd prefer that you didn't commit double-suicide
with some local girl because of it.
[00:31] ---
That's such a glaring misunderstanding.
[00:33] ---
DON'T SAY SOME LOCAL GIRL.
[00:34] ---
KANBARU IS A CUTE UNDERCLASSMAN.
[00:35] ---
This is Suruga Kanbaru.
[00:38] ---
Oh, I see. So this is Gaen's niece.
[00:42] ---
Previously Suruga Gaen,
[00:44] ---
and once Gaen's big sister
finished the marriage paperwork, Suruga Kanbaru.
[00:49] ---
So Ononoki, what are you doing here?
[00:51] ---
Oh, it's just a coincidence.
I wasn't planning on rescuing you, devil boy.
[00:56] ---
I was just doing my job.
[00:59] ---
At the job site, devil boy was trying to commit
double suicide with a girl I didn't know.
[01:04] ---
And I thought,
"Yahoo, I just have to get in the way."
[01:08] ---
In any case, thank you, Ononoki.
[01:11] ---
I keep owing you favors,
[01:14] ---
but someday, I'll make sure
to repay you for this favor.
[01:17] ---
If you say you're going to repay me,
[01:18] ---
normally I'd like for you
to pile up a giant fortune.
[01:22] ---
But this time, I'll let you off the hook
if you answer my question.
[01:26] ---
What in the world happened?
[02:29] ---
OWARIMONOGATARI
[02:30] ---
SHINOBU MAIL, PART TWO
[02:33] ---
An armor-clad samurai?
[02:35] ---
An armor-clad samurai that automatically
rebuilds itself when broken up
[02:38] ---
and has the energy drain skill?
[02:41] ---
Yeah.
[02:42] ---
However, I didn't tell Ononoki everything.
[02:46] ---
I hesitated about relating
to Ononoki the situation
[02:50] ---
that I hadn't prepared my heart for.
[02:54] ---
The armor-clad samurai's parting words.
[02:56] ---
An impossible array
of the alphabet... "Kiss-shot."
[02:59] ---
KISS-SHOT
[03:00] ---
That name not even I call her by anymore...
is what was said.
[03:03] ---
And then, the demon sword "Kokoro Watari"...
[03:07] ---
Ononoki, do you have any ideas?
[03:10] ---
That armor-clad samurai...
[03:11] ---
Does it have something to do
with the job you're currently entrusted with?
[03:15] ---
It does.
[03:17] ---
Yup, that's right...
Indeed, it does. It's within my duties.
[03:23] ---
But listening to that story,
[03:25] ---
it's almost completely different
from the phenomenon
[03:28] ---
that was the subject of my field work.
[03:31] ---
It seems it's become much more violent
since I was investigating it.
[03:36] ---
What happened in these past few days?
[03:39] ---
In the first place, it wasn't even
an armor-clad samurai when I was chasing it.
[03:45] ---
You know, Ononoki.
[03:47] ---
What is it, devil boy?
[03:49] ---
Can I drop this particular case?
[03:52] ---
Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm fine.
I'm perfectly fine, but... Kanbaru...
[04:01] ---
We can let Kanbaru go home now, right?
[04:05] ---
What's that?
[04:07] ---
In other words, devil boy,
[04:09] ---
you're going to scrap the promise
you made with Gaen?
[04:11] ---
Going to scrap...
[04:13] ---
Saying that you would
introduce that girl to her,
[04:16] ---
you borrowed some wisdom
from Gaen, right?
[04:18] ---
It was absolutely necessary
in order to save Mayoi Hachikuji.
[04:23] ---
So you didn't actually have a choice,
but still, a promise is a promise.
[04:28] ---
You've really got some nerve, devil boy.
[04:31] ---
For you to break a promise you made to Gaen
almost makes me fall for you.
[04:36] ---
I don't plan on breaking that promise.
[04:39] ---
You have good pectorals.
[04:41] ---
Don't touch on the subject of my pecs.
[04:44] ---
I want to touch it.
[04:45] ---
Don't show an abnormal amount
of interest in muscles.
[04:48] ---
I'm a corpse, so showing an interest in meat
is like an instinct...
[04:54] ---
So what's the reason?
[04:56] ---
The reason you want to break the promise
you made with Gaen.
[04:59] ---
I'm more than happy to introduce
Kanbaru to her, even now.
[05:04] ---
But the promise wasn't just that, right?
[05:07] ---
She was trying to make Kanbaru help
with the job going on over on your end.
[05:12] ---
Gaen had said
[05:14] ---
that she needed Kanbaru's "left hand,"
that is, her "left arm."
[05:18] ---
Of course, I was the one that made use
of Gaen's wisdom and knowledge.
[05:22] ---
Kanbaru had nothing to do with it.
[05:24] ---
Therefore, the promise was made with the condition
that Kanbaru herself agree to do so.
[05:29] ---
But that was a mistake to begin with.
[05:32] ---
I knew extremely well
that Kanbaru would never refuse
[05:36] ---
if I requested something from her.
[05:38] ---
As a result, I subjected Kanbaru
to unthinkable danger.
[05:43] ---
I completely roped her in.
[05:46] ---
As her upperclassman,
I was supposed to decline such an offer.
[05:51] ---
I understand how you feel, devil boy.
[05:53] ---
But you should give up on that.
I can't recommend it.
[05:57] ---
This is a warning to you as a friend.
[05:59] ---
I don't remember ever
becoming friends with you.
[06:02] ---
Devil boy, I've thought of you
as a friend for a while now, you know?
[06:07] ---
It's way past the point of no return.
[06:11] ---
Why hasn't it crossed your mind that
even if you were to send that girl home,
[06:15] ---
that may not be protecting her?
[06:18] ---
What do you mean?
[06:19] ---
An apparition affects only by looking,
curses only by meeting.
[06:24] ---
And yet, that girl touched
that armor-clad samurai, didn't she?
[06:29] ---
I see.
[06:30] ---
So Suruga Kanbaru already has...
[06:31] ---
...NOT ONLY DID SHE TOUCH, SHE PUNCHED.
[06:32] ---
...gotten herself involved.
[06:34] ---
PUNCHED
[06:35] ---
Devil boy, sit up straight.
[06:38] ---
Sit up straight. Hurry.
[06:40] ---
Hurry up.
[06:42] ---
Hurry, hurry.
[06:43] ---
HURRY, HURRY
[06:47] ---
Hold on just a second. It will be real quick.
[06:56] ---
Um, Ononoki...
[06:58] ---
Don't think you can go back in time or anything.
[07:01] ---
Just like the case with Mayoi Hachikuji...
Devil boy, you don't have enough resolve.
[07:06] ---
Hey, you, you're thinking you can
restart your life at any time, aren't you?
[07:12] ---
You're thinking no matter when you start,
you'll never be late, aren't you?
[07:16] ---
Even if you make a mistake, even if you're careless,
maybe you think you can make something of it?
[07:23] ---
In the end, the positives
and negatives of life even out, you say?
[07:28] ---
Of course, it's a given
that it turns to zero when you die.
[07:39] ---
So devil boy,
if you really care about that girl,
[07:44] ---
don't be irresponsible
and send her home right now.
[07:47] ---
There's more reason to take her
to where Gaen is now.
[07:51] ---
And have Gaen protect her.
[07:54] ---
Have Gaen...
[07:55] ---
SCRAP (HOGO)
[07:55] ---
Right. Don't scrap the promise,
and have the girl be protected.
[07:58] ---
PROTECT (HOGO)
[08:00] ---
Indeed.
[08:01] ---
If we're talking about irresponsible,
[08:03] ---
sending Kanbaru home now
would be much more irresponsible.
[08:06] ---
I DIDN'T SEEK THE FREEDOM TO RUIN MY ENTIRE LIFE
BY BREAKING A PROMISE I MADE TO GAEN.
[08:07] ---
BUT THAT ASIDE,
I WANT TO KEEP MY PROMISE.
[08:08] ---
I SHOULD KEEP IT.
[08:09] ---
No... I'll be honest here.
[08:12] ---
It was a given I didn't want Kanbaru involved
in something with a dangerous armor-clad samurai.
[08:16] ---
Then, asking whether or not
I wanted to be involved myself,
[08:19] ---
it's definitely the case that I don't.
[08:21] ---
If anything, it's that I can't help
but be involved in this.
[08:24] ---
HE ENTRUSTED ME WITH A MESSAGE.
[08:25] ---
A MESSAGE TO "MY MASTER."
[08:26] ---
If the true nature of that armor-clad samurai
really is what I think it is...
[08:31] ---
Even if I think such a thing is impossible,
[08:34] ---
if even the slightest possibility
that it can be exists...
[08:38] ---
I can't discard that.
[08:40] ---
Until I know that... I can't go home.
[08:44] ---
Looks like you've reached a conclusion.
[08:46] ---
Oh boy, friends really are troublesome.
[08:50] ---
Starting now, I'll chase the armor-clad samurai
apparition you supposedly witnessed, devil boy.
[08:56] ---
Based on how it disappeared,
I don't think I can find it,
[09:00] ---
but it's my job to go on a fool's errand.
[09:04] ---
It's my job to step on devil boy's face
and to go on a fool's errand.
[09:07] ---
Stop saying that!
[09:08] ---
And don't step on my face
as part of your job!
[09:10] ---
So devil boy, you should carry that niece
and meet up with Gaen.
[09:16] ---
And explain to her what the situation is.
[09:18] ---
When you say it that way,
it sounds like Kanbaru is my niece...
[09:25] ---
In any case, both you guys and I
should leave this place pretty soon.
[09:30] ---
IT'S FINE TO WAX SENTIMENTAL FOREVER
IN FRONT OF THE BURNED RUINS.
[09:31] ---
Soon, things like firefighters
and the police will be rushing over.
[09:35] ---
Understanding when to retreat
is a must for a specialist.
[09:51] ---
Oh, you came to?
[09:57] ---
Oh, Araragi-senpai! Are you OK?
[10:05] ---
What's the meaning of this?
[10:07] ---
I don't understand the situation very well,
[10:09] ---
but my instincts are telling me
I shouldn't miss this opportunity.
[10:12] ---
Your instincts are amazing...
[10:14] ---
WHAT ARE THEY TELLING HER?
[10:15] ---
THEY'RE SAYING TOO MUCH.
[10:15] ---
I don't think I can quite walk yet.
[10:17] ---
I'll just sit here
and get a piggyback ride for a while.
[10:22] ---
Oh, fine... Just a little bit longer, okay?
[10:26] ---
The physical aspect aside,
it's a definite that I'm exhausted mentally.
[10:31] ---
Somehow, I'm feeling out of whack.
[10:32] ---
Out of whack?
[10:34] ---
In some way, I'm reminded
of the North Shirahebi Shrine.
[10:40] ---
Araragi-senpai...
[10:41] ---
Am I proceeding toward that someone
you wanted to introduce to me?
[10:46] ---
Oh... Yeah, we are.
[10:49] ---
But about that, Kanbaru,
I need to apologize to you.
[10:54] ---
No need for apologies.
[10:56] ---
In fact, I'd rather you didn't apologize.
[10:58] ---
Making you bow your head, Araragi-senpai,
would be a disgrace for Suruga Kanbaru.
[11:03] ---
If so, wouldn't me giving you
a piggyback ride
[11:06] ---
be more of a disgrace for Suruga Kanbaru?
[11:08] ---
KANBARU / SURUGA
[11:08] ---
You'd be so disgraced
you're splintered or something?
[11:10] ---
No, in all seriousness, it may be more dangerous
to send you back right now.
[11:15] ---
At the least, until we figure out the situation,
I want you to accompany me.
[11:19] ---
For every favor you ask of me, Araragi-senpai,
this is how I answer:
[11:24] ---
Eat up!
[11:25] ---
Shut up!
[11:26] ---
Also, that's cute!
[11:28] ---
WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I ORDER?
[11:31] ---
But I'll at least ask you
where we're headed, Araragi-senpai.
[11:35] ---
Right now, we're headed
to the aforementioned rendezvous point.
[11:39] ---
Let's see... You probably know of it.
It's called Rouhaku Park.
[11:43] ---
Rouhaku?
[11:44] ---
It might be Namishiro.
[11:46] ---
Apparently it was Senjyogahara's neighborhood
back in middle school.
[11:50] ---
Then I might remember if I saw it.
[11:54] ---
In any case, roger that, Araragi-senpai.
[11:57] ---
Right now, we're headed to that park, right?
[11:59] ---
And the person you wanted me
to meet will be there?
[12:02] ---
Well, yeah.
[12:04] ---
But, if so, Araragi-senpai...
[12:06] ---
Aren't you going in
the completely opposite direction?
[12:12] ---
Huh? But...
[12:14] ---
I guess we'll go back a bit
and correct the route... I'm sorry, Kanbaru.
[12:18] ---
Well, it's no big deal.
I trust you with everything.
[12:21] ---
Araragi-senpai, do as you want.
[12:27] ---
ONE HOUR LATER
[12:29] ---
We ended up in a location
that we didn't know.
[12:35] ---
Come to think, Araragi-senpai,
didn't you get lost in the past, or not?
[12:40] ---
Didn't you say you were about to, but didn't,
or something like that?
[12:44] ---
You know, with Hachikuji...
[12:49] ---
No, wait. The lost cow isn't here any longer.
[12:53] ---
But...
[12:54] ---
You shouldn't make any detours
and go straight home as well!
[12:58] ---
No, but...
[13:00] ---
Would he actually set up something like this,
that's more malicious than harassing?
[13:05] ---
Besides, even if this "lost" bit is his doing,
I don't see the objective for doing so.
[13:12] ---
What is he planning to do with me and Kanbaru
after we lose our way... after we're lost?
[13:18] ---
Kanbaru, I'm letting go.
[13:20] ---
Of the daikon?
[13:21] ---
No, I mean you.
[13:22] ---
IF ANYTHING, NOT A DAIKON BUT AN ANTELOPE.
[13:27] ---
EARLIER, EARLIER TO GIVE UP THE BETTER
[13:32] ---
CALLING
[13:33] ---
IZUKO GAEN
[13:34] ---
Hey, Koyomin...
[13:35] ---
I've been waiting for you.
I was anxiously waiting.
[13:37] ---
I thought it was about time you called me.
[13:42] ---
So? How is it going right now?
Do tell Big Sister Gaen.
[13:47] ---
Let's see...
[13:48] ---
A crab?
[13:48] ---
IZUKO GAEN
CRAB
[13:50] ---
A snail?
[13:50] ---
IZUKO GAEN
SNAIL
[13:51] ---
A monkey?
[13:51] ---
IZUKO GAEN
MONKEY
[13:52] ---
A snake?
[13:52] ---
IZUKO GAEN
SNAKE
[13:53] ---
A cat?
[13:53] ---
IZUKO GAEN
CAT
[13:56] ---
What do you actually know?
[13:58] ---
I know everything, as you may know.
[14:04] ---
That's a joke, a joke.
Why are you getting so serious, Koyomin?
[14:08] ---
If I say five things, one is sure to be correct.
It's a dirty tactic adults use.
[14:14] ---
IZUKO GAEN
SNAIL SNAIL LOST COW LOST
[14:14] ---
Personally, I'd predict that it's the snail.
[14:17] ---
SNAIL - LOST COW
[14:18] ---
She got it right.
[14:20] ---
Simple. I thought the only one
you'd have the luxury
[14:23] ---
to make a phone call
seeking help would be the snail.
[14:26] ---
Just an analogy. So, how is it?
[14:29] ---
That's exactly what it is... Yes.
[14:31] ---
Right now, together with Kanbaru,
[14:33] ---
I was heading to the park
where we were supposed to meet up.
[14:36] ---
But for over an hour now...
[14:38] ---
IZUKO GAEN
[14:40] ---
I was imagining what kind
of thing it would be, but...
[14:44] ---
of all those I imagined,
that's the smallest one.
[14:48] ---
Koyomin.
[14:49] ---
Hurry up and join me, please.
[14:51] ---
I want to hear the details
face-to-face now.
[14:55] ---
No, I mean, the story is such that
joining you is what I can't do right now.
[14:59] ---
That was why I was seeking
some advice from you—
[15:02] ---
This isn't worth me giving advice.
[15:04] ---
It's merely someone
meddling in your affairs.
[15:06] ---
If you can't overcome that small an obstacle
by yourself, I'd be troubled.
[15:10] ---
Fortunately, this isn't the first time
you're getting lost on your way.
[15:14] ---
Koyomin,
[15:15] ---
follow Meme's principle here
and help yourself on your own.
[15:20] ---
No...
[15:20] ---
IZUKO GAEN
[15:22] ---
You're not alone.
[15:23] ---
That's right, you have your reliable underclassman
beside you right now.
[15:27] ---
Then, you can rely on her.
[15:29] ---
R-Rely on her, but...
[15:33] ---
What do you think Kanbaru is?
Kanbaru is—
[15:36] ---
Suruga Kanbaru is my elder sister's daughter.
[15:36] ---
IZUKO GAEN
[15:40] ---
Such a pity to keep talent like that dormant.
[15:44] ---
SHE JUST HUNG UP ON ME
[15:46] ---
Oh, so your phone call is over, Araragi-senpai?
[15:49] ---
And that look on your face...
I assume you need something from your slave.
[15:53] ---
I don't have any slaves.
[15:55] ---
Then you don't need my opinion?
That's so reassuring.
[15:59] ---
No, I don't—
[16:04] ---
I do need it. Kanbaru,
if you have any thoughts, let me know.
[16:22] ---
All right, I know. This way.
[16:25] ---
I don't know the way to the park,
[16:27] ---
but if it's near where
Senjyogahara-senpai's old house was...
[16:31] ---
I know the approximate direction by scent.
[16:33] ---
Let's go!
[16:35] ---
It's not by sight, but scent?
[16:45] ---
Come on, Araragi-senpai.
[16:46] ---
ARE YOU A NINJA OR SOMETHING?
[16:47] ---
Araragi-senpai, the apparition called the lost cow
makes people lose their way, right?
[16:53] ---
Then all you have to do
is to not go down the normal paths.
[17:01] ---
Around three in the morning, at last...
[17:05] ---
NAMISHIRO (ROUHAKU) PARK
[17:05] ---
...we arrived at the park.
[17:08] ---
Huh?
[17:13] ---
Of all things, it's only been three hours
since I made the phone call.
[17:17] ---
She couldn't possibly have gotten impatient
and left already.
[17:19] ---
But Araragi-senpai,
[17:21] ---
most people would go home if they were forced
to wait for three hours in the middle of the night.
[17:25] ---
If you say so, that may be true, but...
[17:28] ---
I know.
[17:29] ---
Just like I got lost on my way,
[17:31] ---
maybe Gaen, who we were going to meet,
met some sort of apparition phenomenon.
[17:35] ---
Is it unthinkable that possibility
is what's causing her not to be here?
[17:39] ---
Kanbaru, I have a favor to ask.
[17:41] ---
Eat up!
[17:42] ---
That's not it.
[17:44] ---
It may be useless, but I'd like to split up
and comb the entire park.
[17:48] ---
If you find something, holler at me.
[17:50] ---
So I just need to scream?
[17:51] ---
Don't scream. I'd be the one that gets arrested.
[17:55] ---
Roger. Will serve you.
[17:56] ---
ARRESTED (TSUKAMARU)
[17:57] ---
SERVE (TSUKAMATSURU)
[18:05] ---
Araragi-senpai! Found her!
[18:12] ---
It doesn't look like there's anyone there...
[18:15] ---
No, no, Araragi-senpai.
[18:17] ---
See? Look closely.
[18:21] ---
Sh-Shinobu!
[18:27] ---
Oh, if it isn't my master! You're pretty late.
[18:35] ---
She's so cute...
[18:39] ---
Hey, Shinobu.
Why in the world are you here...
[18:46] ---
Ka ka!
[18:48] ---
Monkey, huh...
[18:50] ---
That gave me a hard time for sure.
[18:54] ---
Indeed, I found this kitten
to be one tough customer.
[18:58] ---
A cat, indeed...
[19:04] ---
LET'S PUT ASIDE THE PERVERT FOR NOW.
[19:06] ---
Well, you know... by "monkey"
I'm not talking about this girl.
[19:10] ---
It was wearing a raincoat and galoshes,
but it was someone other than her.
[19:13] ---
Someone else?
[19:14] ---
In any case, it was an apparition
I'd been fighting
[19:17] ---
somewhere out there until just recently,
together with the cat.
[19:21] ---
Wh-What are you talking about?
[19:22] ---
AND A CAT?
[19:23] ---
WHAT CAT?
[19:24] ---
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON
IN THIS TOWN RIGHT NOW?
[19:25] ---
It was a competition you'd dream of,
in all sorts of ways.
[19:28] ---
Well, this is nothing more than a scratch,
nothing serious.
[19:32] ---
What about on your end? Were you all right?
[19:35] ---
Y-Yeah. After parting ways with you...
Let's see. About that darkness...
[19:40] ---
No need.
[19:41] ---
I was briefed on that already.
[19:44] ---
It seems I've had all sorts
of misunderstandings for over 400 years now.
[19:48] ---
The epitome of clumsiness, indeed.
[19:50] ---
You heard? From whom—
[19:53] ---
I don't have to even tell you.
[19:55] ---
I heard from the little girl
who stomped on you.
[19:58] ---
The little girl who stomped on me?
[20:00] ---
Well, I have no idea what you're talking about...
[20:03] ---
Shinobu, you're the only one
that's stomped on me with a bare foot, you know?
[20:07] ---
I didn't say it was a bare foot.
[20:10] ---
Drats! So this is what they mean by the saying
"the tongue ever turns to the aching tooth"!
[20:14] ---
Though it looks like
you're aching as much as you can ache...
[20:18] ---
More like, you have a cute footprint
clearly left on your face.
[20:22] ---
What the...!
[20:25] ---
Yeah...
[20:26] ---
I secretly wondered this whole time
what happened while I was unconscious.
[20:32] ---
If you saw it, then say something!
[20:35] ---
You just continued riding piggyback
on your upperclassman, thinking it was funny?
[20:39] ---
Well, normally a marking of that sort
[20:42] ---
would be so resentful that
I'd want to peel the skin off your face.
[20:45] ---
But against my will,
the doll-girl has saved us...
[20:49] ---
So this one time,
I'll graciously forgive her.
[20:53] ---
"Has saved us"? Come now...
[20:56] ---
What really happened to you, Shinobu?
[21:02] ---
Well, it's not worth mentioning.
[21:04] ---
While the cat and I were being
assaulted by a monkey...
[21:07] ---
When we were having a tough time...
[21:09] ---
That doll-girl suddenly appeared,
and, impressively enough, joined forces with us.
[21:15] ---
What was that special move of hers?
[21:18] ---
"A RULEBOOK MOSTLY FILLED WITH EXCEPTIONS"
[21:18] ---
"Unlimited Rulebook," or something?
[21:21] ---
She used it to blow off
the right half of the monkey's body.
[21:25] ---
And, after she saved you,
[21:27] ---
Ononoki told you what's happened
since that incident, or something?
[21:31] ---
Then...
[21:32] ---
Assuming she heard about the darkness there,
[21:35] ---
then, did she hear about
the armor-clad samurai afterwards as well?
[21:40] ---
No, that doesn't seem to be the case.
[21:43] ---
Well, I'm glad both of us
are safe and sound.
[21:45] ---
No, I guess we're not quite safe just yet.
[21:49] ---
Apparently, the so-called master
of the Hawaiian-shirt boy
[21:52] ---
is going to restore the pairing
between you and me?
[21:55] ---
Doll-girl said that it'd be good
to meet up with you for that reason.
[21:59] ---
Yet, I arrive here,
and neither you or that master are around.
[22:04] ---
So...
[22:06] ---
So... that's why you were sleeping
under the swings?
[22:09] ---
What kind of idea is that?
[22:11] ---
How do you think
outside the box like that?
[22:13] ---
Even if you were tired
from an unexpected battle,
[22:15] ---
at the least, if you're going to sleep,
there are other places—
[22:17] ---
Master, we should talk about that later.
[22:20] ---
Unfortunately, it seems
we're not quite done fighting just yet...
[22:25] ---
It seems the battle isn't quite over just yet.
[22:29] ---
The battle for us seems to be
what's coming up now.
