[00:01] Sanae
    Right.
[00:03] Sanae
    Yes.
[00:05] Sanae
    Yes.
[00:08] Sanae
    I see... All right. Yes.
[00:13] Mutsumi
    I was really little when my dad
    disappeared. Littler than now.
[00:19] Mutsumi
    The police still call
    us every now and then.
[00:24] Mutsumi
    Calls saying they can't find him...
[00:28] Mutsumi
    My dad's sudden disappearance...
[00:35] Mutsumi
    My dad was so funny and kind...
[00:40] Mutsumi
    But now I can't even remember
    what his voice sounded like.
[00:47] Mutsumi
    Are my memories going
    to disappear, too?
[02:28] Taira
    Hey, a cat. What a cutie.
[02:32] Buchio
    H-Hello...
[02:34] Taira
    It talked!
[02:35] Jiro
    That's Buchio-kun, the nekomata.
[02:38] Jiro
    Didn't you see my note in the chat?
[02:39] Taira
    Oh, that's right.
[02:41] Taira
    Sorry about the "cutie" thing.
[02:43] Buchio
    It's okay...
[02:44] Yasu
    Hey!
[02:45] Yasu
    If your hands are free, help us out!
[02:48] Taira
    Sure!
[02:49] Taira
    See ya!
[02:51] Buchio
    Who are those people?
[02:53] Jiro
    Oh, they're my drinking buddies.
[02:56] Jiro
    We have a barbecue
    at Yuri-chan's place every year.
[03:00] Jiro
    Since her yard's so big, y'know?
[03:02] All
    Cheers!
[03:04] Saki
    Oh, that smells great!
[03:06] Jiro
    Wonder if it's cooked yet.
[03:08] Takumi/Ryo/Mutsumi
    Meat! Meat! Meat!
[03:12] Yasu
    Well, guess we should introduce ourselves.
[03:15] Taira
    Okay, so...
[03:16] Taira
    I'm Tanaka. Tanaka Taira.
[03:19] Taira
    Age 27. Human.
[03:21] Yasu
    I'm an okuri-itachi. They call me Yasu.
[03:24] Yasu
    My age is a secret.
[03:26] Yuri
    You're 33.
[03:28] Yasu
    Yuri-san! Don't tell him!
[03:31] Benmaru
    I'm Kobayashi Benmaru.
[03:34] Benmaru
    People call me Betobeto-san.
[03:38] Benmaru
    You see me now?
[03:40] Buchio
    I'm sorry... I didn't notice you there.
[03:43] Benmaru
    It's cool. That's the kind of yokai I am.
[03:47] Benmaru
    Anyway, cheers.
[03:51] Benmaru
    I'm 125 years old, by the way.
[03:53] Buchio
    Th-That's a very long life.
[03:56] Benmaru
    Yeah. Jiro-san's older than I am, though.
[04:00] Buchio
    Huh?!
[04:27] Buchio
    Jiro-san...
[04:28] Jiro
    Hm?
[04:29] Buchio
    There are times when
    I just don't understand.
[04:33] Buchio
    I lived all my life as a cat,
[04:35] Buchio
    and I'd accepted that I just
    had to live the best I could.
[04:40] Buchio
    But now I wonder if there's
    a reason I was given this new life.
[04:48] Buchio
    I'm genuinely happy that I get
    to live with my family, but...
[04:54] Benmaru
    You're probably confused because you
    haven't found your own essence yet.
[05:00] Buchio
    Essence?
[05:01] Jiro
    Yep.
[05:02] Jiro
    The fundamental something
    that makes your existence possible.
[05:07] Jiro
    Someone else's words or intentions,
[05:09] Jiro
    or a strong will of your own...
[05:12] Jiro
    Every yokai born into this world
[05:14] Jiro
    has a definite reason for existing
    that shapes their physical form.
[05:20] Buchio
    A strong will of my own...
[05:23] Buchio
    What is this? I suddenly
    have this sense of unease...
[05:28] Buchio
    All I have in me now
[05:30] Buchio
    is gratitude toward my family
    and everyone around me.
[05:35] Jiro
    Maybe you should tell your family that.
[05:44] Buchio

[08:21] Rain
    And cute!
[08:22] Hanako
    Welcome to Hanako's counseling room!
[08:26] Hanako
    Love troubles, huh?
[08:29] Hanako
    I can tell by looking at you.
[08:31] Hanako
    Leave everything to Hanako,
    the romance expert!
[08:36] Hanako
    But first...
[08:38] Hanako
    Do you sincerely want to
    tell your crush how you feel?
[08:43] Rain
    Huh?
[08:44] Hanako
    I don't want my advice
    to force you into it.
[08:50] Rain
    I... want to tell him!
[08:54] Hanako
    Got it!
[08:57] Hanako
    I see.
[08:58] Hanako
    So when you see Sano-kun,
    you suddenly can't even speak.
[09:03] Rain
    Yes...
[09:06] Hanako
    For a case like that, you need

[09:10] Rain
    Doesn't involve words?
[09:12] Hanako
    Yep. The athletic
    festival's coming up, right?
[09:15] Rain
    Yes...
[09:17] Kotone
    And you're passing the baton
    to Ryo-kun, aren't you?!
[09:20] Hanako
    That's it!
[09:22] Hanako
    Put all your feelings into that baton!
[09:25] Hanako
    It's the baton of love!
[09:28] Rain
    Huh?
[09:29] Kotone
    You got this, Rain-chan!
[09:30] Rain
    Huh?!
[09:33] Hihi
    Okay, let's practice as usual.
[09:36] Hihi
    Ready...
[09:43] (Flashback) Hanako
    Put all your feelings into that baton!
[09:47] Rain
    I have to pass this on to Ryo-kun!
[09:52] Rain
    I have to...
[09:54] (Flashback) Hanako
    It's the baton of love!
[10:00] Ryo
    Nakagawa!
[10:02] Murata
    Mr. Hihi! Nakagawa-san fell!
[10:04] Two-mouthed Girl
    Rain-chan, you okay?
[10:09] Rain
    I couldn't pass it to him.
[10:11] Rain
    I fell right in front of him.
    What a disaster.
[10:16] Ryo
    Nakagawa...
[10:18] Ryo
    Hey, um...
[10:22] Ryo
    Did I...
[10:24] Ryo
    Did I do something to you?
[10:27] Rain
    Huh?
[10:28] Ryo
    I mean, every time I try to talk to you,
[10:31] Ryo
    you go all quiet and look away.
[10:33] Rain
    No! That's just—
[10:35] Ryo
    If I did something wrong, I'm sorry.
[10:37] Rain
    It's not...
[10:40] Rain
    It's not like that!
[10:42] Ryo
    Huh?
[10:43] Rain
    You didn't do anything wrong
    at all, Ryo—Sano-kun!
[10:48] Ryo
    Really?
[10:50] Rain
    I-I'm the one who should apologize.
[10:55] Ryo
    Gotcha.
[10:57] Ryo
    Sorry for getting all weird on you.
[11:01] Ryo
    Your knees okay?
[11:03] Rain
    Uh-huh.
[11:04] Ryo
    Let's head back, then.
[11:05] Rain
    Hey!
[11:07] Rain
    Thanks for returning my eraser.
[11:11] Ryo
    Huh? Oh...
[11:13] Ryo
    Um, you're welcome?
[11:16] Rain
    I did it!
[11:19] Rain
    I thanked him!
[11:29] Mutsumi
    Is he working?
[11:31] Jiro
    How's it look, Chiyo-chan?
[11:35] Hayachiyo
    They are well-hidden,
[11:37] Hayachiyo
    but there is definitely someone there.
[11:40] Jiro
    Guess we should go see them, then.
[11:43] Jiro
    I'll take the mountain path.
[11:45] Hayachiyo
    I will go around back.
[11:56] Mutsumi
    He told me not to follow him
    when he's working,
[12:00] Mutsumi
    but I'm too curious!
[12:13] Mutsumi
    Huh? I lost him...
[13:08] Jiro
    Mu-chan! Mu-chan!
[13:11] Jiro
    Mu-chan!
[13:13] Mutsumi
    Jiro—
[13:16] Jiro
    Looks like it's gone.
[13:18] Jiro
    Hayachiyo.
[13:19] Hayachiyo
    Yes?
[13:20] Jiro
    I'm going to keep following it.
    Take care of Mu-chan.
[13:26] Mutsumi
    Jiro!
[13:29] Mutsumi
    I'm sorry for bothering you
    when you're working.
[13:36] Jiro
    I'm not angry with you, Mu-chan.
[13:49] Hayachiyo
    You were in danger back there, Mu-chan.
[13:53] Hayachiyo
    What did it show you?
[13:56] Mutsumi
    I'm not really sure...
    but did I mess with your work?
[14:02] Hayachiyo
    It would scare you.
[14:04] Hayachiyo
    For now, it's best you don't know.
[14:07] Hayachiyo
    That said...
[14:08] Hayachiyo
    You must understand
    that you are being protected.
[14:27] Buchio
    Transformation used in war?
[14:29] Yuri
    Yeah.
[14:30] Yuri
    The art of mimicry was used to
    trick enemies on the battlefield.
[14:33] Yuri
    What we do now is a form of that art.
[14:41] Buchio
    I did it!
[14:46] Yuri
    Complete failure.
[14:49] Buchio
    Wouldn't be dangerous to turn this
    into a real bow and arrow?
[14:52] Yuri
    It's only the appearance.
[14:54] Yuri
    A defensive trick, nothing else.
[14:57] Taira
    Hey! Hello!
[14:59] Yuri
    Hey.
[15:00] Buchio
    Oh... Tanaka-san?
[15:02] Yuri
    We're going shopping. Come with us.
[15:05] Buchio
    Okay.
[15:09] Taira
    What else do you want?
[15:11] Yuri
    Some fringed pinks. With strong colors.
[15:14] Taira
    You got it.

[15:20] Buchio
    Come to think of it,
[15:22] Buchio
    I heard you were born in the Tohoku region.
[15:26] Yuri
    So what?
[15:27] Buchio
    I was curious to know how you grew up,
[15:31] Buchio
    and about your family and such...
[15:36] Buchio
    Um...
[15:39] Yuri
    That's none of your business.
[15:40] Buchio
    Huh? But...
[15:42] Taira
    Buchio-kun, hang on!
[15:44] Yuri
    Don't assume everyone is like you.
[15:48] Taira
    Yuri!
[15:49] Taira
    Wait here a sec.
[15:50] Taira
    Hang on, Yuri!
[15:59] Yuri
    Drive.
[15:59] Taira
    Don't be dumb. It's not like that.
[16:01] Taira
    Buchio-kun doesn't know your story.
[16:03] Taira
    Don't take your pain out on him.
[16:07] Yuri
    Shut up! Don't talk as if you know me!
[16:11] Taira
    Sorry if I'm wrong.
[16:13] Taira
    It's just that whenever
    you look at Buchio-kun,
[16:16] Taira
    you look so sad to me.
[16:22] Taira
    I don't know how to say it, but...
    it's complicated, right?
[16:29] Yuri
    He and I are polar opposites.
[16:32] Yuri
    I know it's not his fault.
[16:35] Yuri
    I'm a real headache. I know that.
[16:39] Yuri
    But I have no intention
    of changing where I am now,
[16:43] Yuri
    nor of forgiving my family.
[16:46] Taira
    If that's how you feel,
    that's probably how it'll be.
[16:50] Yuri
    I like how simple-minded you are.
[16:53] Taira
    Huh? I wish you'd just call it "honest."
[16:56] Taira
    Wait... Buchio-kun.
[16:59] Taira
    Go on, Yurippe. Talk to him.
[17:03] Yuri
    Sorry.
[17:05] Buchio
    Oh, no! I'm the one who's sorry!

    What? We have to run?
[17:55] Mutsumi
    Yes! Half a lap!
[18:00] Jiro
    I haven't run... in ages...
[18:02] Mutsumi
    You should probably get more exercise.
[18:05] Jiro
    Sorry...
[18:06] Mutsumi
    But I came in first, so it's okay.
[18:08] Mutsumi
    Thanks!
[18:09] Jiro
    Back at you.
[18:13] Mutsumi
    Oh, Jiro...
[18:16] Mutsumi
    Thanks for protecting me when
    you were working the other day.
[18:20] Mutsumi
    I don't remember much
    about it, but... thanks.

    to worry about it.

    Let's go, Class 5-3!
[18:39] All
    Yeah!
[18:41] Kids
    You can do it!
[18:48] Rain
    When we were all practicing together,
[18:52] Rain
    Ryo-kun looked so cool,
    like he was shining.
[18:58] Rain
    I also want to...
[19:01] Two-mouthed Girl
    Here!
[19:01] Rain
    Got it!
[19:05] Rain
    ...try my hardest with...
[19:07] Ryo
    Nakagawa!
[19:17] Rain
    Here!
[19:33] Kids
    That was awesome!
[19:34] Kids
    Way to go!
[20:00] Benmaru
    Oh? Mutsumi-chan?
[20:03] Benmaru
    It's dangerous to stand by the road like that.
[20:06] Benmaru
    Hey.
[20:07] Mutsumi
    Betobeto-san!
[20:08] Benmaru
    Hi there. What were you looking at?
[20:13] Mutsumi
    Oh, nothing.
[20:17] Mutsumi
    Have you ever seen, like,
    a black shadow or smoky thing?
[20:24] Benmaru
    You can see that?
[20:26] Mutsumi
    Yeah.
[20:28] Benmaru
    I used to be able to see it.
SIGN    Don't
    Run
    Into
    the
    Road
[20:31] Benmaru
    Or more like... I used to be it.
[20:35] Mutsumi
    Huh?
[20:37] Benmaru
    Before I took this form,
[20:40] Benmaru
    all I did was stand still in the darkness.
[20:44] Benmaru
    I was nothing but an indistinct presence.
[20:47] Benmaru
    I was so lonely.
[20:50] Benmaru
    And because I was lonely,
    on even darker nights...
[20:57] Benmaru
    I'd follow people walking by.
[21:09] Benmaru
    I exist in this form now,
[21:13] Benmaru
    but what about the shadows
    that don't change?
[21:16] Benmaru
    They'll probably just be lonely forever.
[21:20] Benmaru
    That's what the black shadows
    and smoky things are.
[21:24] Mutsumi
    But...
[21:25] Mutsumi
    They swallow people up
    because they feel lonely, too, right?
[21:32] Benmaru
    They're definitely beings you need
    to be careful around.
[21:36] Benmaru
    All of us.
[21:38] Benmaru
    Because imaginary things
    are drawn to each other.
[21:42] Benmaru
    But...
[21:44] Benmaru
    They do have their sad, lonely side.
[21:47] Benmaru
    It wouldn't hurt to remember
[21:50] Benmaru
    that they're more than just scary things.
[21:55] Mutsumi
    That's... what they are?
[21:59] Benmaru
    Everyone feels lonely sometimes.
[22:05] Mutsumi
    Hmm...
