**[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.
