[00:07] Kazyua
    When the obi, wound up
    like a cocoon, unfurled...
[00:16] Kazyua
    a girl emerged, like a vision of white.
[00:24] Kazyua
    A youkai? A fairy?
[00:27] Kazyua
    There was no way I could know.
[00:29] Kazyua
    And yet...
[00:34] Kazyua
    her scent was comfortingly familiar.

[02:29] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Huh?
[02:34] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Where am I?
[02:37] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Wait... This is where we part?
[02:41] (Flashback) Kazuya
    No!
[02:45] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Don't go!
[02:48] Kazuya
    Don't go!
[02:54] Chisato
    Eek!
[02:58] Chisato
    How could you, you perv?!
[03:00] Chisato
    This is what I get for trying to
    wake you from a bad dream?!

[03:04] Kazuya
    Ouch...
SIGN    Kagami Kazuya
[03:05] Kazuya
    What was that for?
[03:07] Chisato
    I could ask you the same thing!
[03:09] Kazuya
    White, huh?
[03:10] ---
    Unbelievable!
[03:11] Chisato
    Groping a classmate's chest wasn't enough?

    You had to look directly up her skirt, too?!

[03:21] Osame
    Getting lectured by a braided,
    bespectacled class representative...
[03:23] Chisato
    It may be after school, but that doesn't mean
[03:24] Osame
    Some of us would pay to experience that.
[03:25] Chisato
    you can nap in the classroom like a layabout!
[03:28] Chisato
    As a student, your first priority
    is your academic pursuits...
[03:32] Kazuya
    Finally got away...
[03:40] Kazuya
    Chisato's lectures feel like
    they last forever.
[03:47] Kazuya
    That dream...
[04:01] Kazuya
    So it's even showing up in my dreams now.
[04:04] Kazuya
    This kimono sash, or obi,
    belonged to my late mother.
[04:07] Kazuya
    While I don't remember her all that well...
[04:11] Kazuya
    I keep her obi, with its familiar,
    comforting scent, near me at all times.
[04:20] Kazuya
    The scent of cherry blossoms...
[04:24] Kazuya
    Well, better get going
    before Chisato finds me.
[04:34] Kazuya
    A wig?
[04:37] Kazuya
    I don't remember that being here.
[04:47] Kazuya
    What the—?!
[04:49] Chisato
    Where did Kazuya-kun go?
[04:52] Chisato
    I was going to walk home with him...
[04:55] Kazuya
    Help!
[04:59] Kazuya
    Stop!
[05:05] Kazuya
    Wh-What is that thing?!
[05:07] Kiriha
    An amasogi.
[05:10] Kiriha
    Hark. Here it comes!
[05:14] Kazuya
    Wha... Huh?
[05:18] Kazuya
    Oh...
[05:20] Kazuya
    Well... I guess I'm dead.
[05:25] Kiriha
    Fool!
[05:56] Kiriha
    It has been a long time, Kazuya.
[06:03] Kazuya
    Who are you?
[06:06] Kiriha
    You little...
[06:08] Kiriha
    ingrate!
[06:18] Kiriha
    Aha. Look who has come.
[06:23] Kazuya
    Look, something crazy dangerous
    is going on around here.
[06:27] Kazuya
    You'd better get away, fast!
[06:28] Kiriha
    Kazuya...
[06:30] Kiriha
    that is the host.
[06:40] Kiriha
    Do not covet the possessions of others.
[06:44] Kiriha
    This one belongs to me, fool.
[06:49] Kazuya
    I belong to you?
[06:51] Kiriha
    I saved your life—twice.
[06:53] Kiriha
    Do not complain.
[06:56] Kazuya
    First I get attacked by a youkai,
[06:58] Kazuya
    now I get made into the underling of one?
[07:03] Kiriha
    Who are you calling a youkai, imbecile?!
[07:06] Kiriha
    I am a tsukumogami!
[07:08] Kazuya
    Same difference!
[07:09] Kiriha
    What did you say, idiot?!
[07:11] Host
    Kazuya-san...
[07:12] Kazuya
    No!
[07:14] Kiriha
    This is your hour of reckoning, Kazuya.
[07:16] Kiriha
    Agree to serve me, and I can save you.
[07:18] Kazuya
    Fine!
[07:20] Kazuya
    I'll be your servant or whatever
    you want, just save me!
[07:24] Kiriha
    I accept!
[07:27] Host
    Kazuya-san...
[07:30] Kiriha
    You must get past me first!
[07:33] Kiriha
    Obi Strike!
[07:35] Kiriha
    Followed by... an Obi Slam!
[07:40] Kazuya
    Amazing...
[07:42] Kazuya
    But you're going to kill her doing that!
[07:46] Kiriha
    It won't perish so easily.
[07:48] Kiriha
    See?
[08:05] Kiriha
    Take this!
[08:08] Kiriha
    Once more!
[08:19] Kiriha
    It seems your desire is quite strong.
[08:22] Kiriha
    But giving rise to an amasogi,
[08:24] Kiriha
    and then losing control to it
    won't grant your wish.
[08:27] Kiriha
    Return to your senses.
[08:30] Kiriha
    Be not a slave to your emotions.
[08:32] Kiriha
    You must rebuke the amasogi yourself.
[08:35] Kiriha
    That way, your atonement shall be mild.
[08:41] Host
    If I can't have him...
[08:44] Host
    I'll destroy him!
[08:46] Kiriha
    Shield Weave!
[08:49] Kiriha
    Kazuya!
[08:52] Kazuya
    I-I'm okay! It just grazed me.
[08:57] Kiriha
    You have exhausted my mercy!
[09:08] Kiriha
    You and that amasogi can
    be skewered together!
SIGN    Spiral
[09:14] Kiriha
    Spiral Weave!
SIGN    Spiral Weave
[09:18] Kazuya
    Don't!
[09:27] Kiriha
    You ought be grateful to Kazuya.
[09:36] Kazuya
    So she was wearing that wig...
[09:40] Kazuya
    Why'd she attack me, though?
[09:43] Kiriha
    The wig became possessed by
    your classmate's feelings for you.
[09:47] Kiriha
    turning it into an amasogi.
[09:50] Kazuya
    An amasogi?
[09:51] Kiriha
    Something born of the desire to have you.
[09:54] Kiriha
    A sort of instant tsukumogami, you could say.
[09:57] Kiriha
    It then took control of this one.
[10:00] Kiriha
    If you had been captured...
[10:02] Kiriha
    every orifice on your body may have been
    violated till its lust was appeased.
[10:07] Kazuya
    Every orifice?
[10:09] Kazuya
    S-Still, I gotta say, being liked
    that much by a girl is pretty...
[10:15] Kiriha
    Just so you know, that one is a boy.
[10:19] Kazuya
    No way!
[10:22] Kazuya
    A-Anyway, could you
    explain exactly what just—
[10:27] Kazuya
    Huh?
[10:28] Teacher
    You there!
[10:30] Teacher
    What are you doing here
    this late after hours?!
[10:33] Kazuya
    Sorry! This, uh, girl fainted and...
[10:36] Teacher
    What?! Did you do this?!
[10:38] Kazuya
    No, I didn't do anything!
[10:46] Kazuya
    I'm home...
[10:47] Kasumi
    Welcome home, Ya-kun!
[10:49] Kasumi
    I've drawn a bath! We can share it!
[10:51] Kazuya
    No thanks. I'm not a kid anymore!
[11:05] Kazuya
    I honestly can't remember her...
[11:08] Kazuya
    That girl who saved me...
[11:12] Kazuya
    Who was she, anyway?
[11:14] Kazuya
    She seemed to know me, yet...
[11:17] Kazuya
    nothing rings a bell.
[11:20] Kazuya
    She said she was a tsukumogami...
SIGN    Tsukumogami: After a long period of time...
    becomes a youkai...
[11:27] Kazuya
    "Not a youkai," my foot.
[11:30] Kazuya
    After I fell off the roof, I couldn't find
    my mom's obi, no matter where I looked.
[11:37] Kazuya
    Which means she must be...
[11:42] (Flashback) Kazuya
    No...
[11:44] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Don't go!
[11:53] Kazuya
    That dream again...
[12:15] Kiriha
    Tsugumomo!
[12:20] Kiriha
    This is Tsugumomo!
[12:25] Kasumi
    Ya-kun!
[12:27] Kasumi
    Are you okay?!
[12:29] (Flashback) ---
    Hup!
[12:35] Kasumi
    Huh?
[12:36] Kazuya
    I-It's nothing.
[12:38] Kasumi
    Huh? But you let out an awful scream...
[12:41] Kazuya
    Really, it's no big deal! I just...
[12:43] Kazuya
    I just slipped and fell a bit!
[12:45] Kasumi
    Really? Well, okay, then.
[12:47] Kazuya
    Yeah, seriously! I'm fine now!
[12:54] Kazuya
    So, uh...
[12:57] Kiriha
    You imbecile!
[12:59] Kiriha
    Is that any way to treat your savior?!
[13:02] Kazuya
    But if my sister finds out—
[13:10] Kiriha
    Ahem...
[13:11] Kiriha
    Rude as your lack of memory of me may be,
[13:14] Kiriha
    I shall graciously explain, in detail.
[13:17] Kiriha
    To start with, I am...
[13:18] Kazuya
    A tsukumogami born from
    a kimono's obi, right?
[13:21] Kiriha
    What, have you remembered?
[13:24] Kazuya
    No, but it was the logical conclusion.
[13:27] Kazuya
    The obi-like cloths that sprang
    out of my backpack
[13:30] Kazuya
    and the girl that appeared out of them.
[13:34] Kazuya
    And the same scent of cherry
    blossoms as my mom's obi.
[13:40] Kazuya
    Plus, the obi went missing from my bag.
[13:43] Kazuya
    What else could you be but
    the tsukumogami of that obi?
[13:48] Kiriha
    Well answered, for a fool.
[13:51] Kiriha
    Indeed.
[13:52] Kiriha
    The finger-woven pure silk
    ceremonial obi, Ayasakura.
[13:56] Kiriha
    I am its tsukumogami... Kiriha.
[14:00] Kiriha
    And you shall address me
    with a -sama on the end!
[14:02] Kiriha
    Got it, servant?
[14:04] Kazuya
    "Servant"?
[14:06] Kazuya
    Listen, Kiriha...san.
[14:09] Kiriha
    I told you to use -sama!
[14:10] Kazuya
    Of course, I'm grateful to you
    for saving my life.
[14:15] Kazuya
    But...
[14:16] Kazuya
    I don't think that deal was valid,
    given your threat and my position.
[14:20] Kazuya
    And besides, the obi belongs to me.
[14:24] Kazuya
    If anything, I'd be the master...
[14:29] Kazuya
    Forget I said anything.
[14:31] Kiriha
    Very good!
[14:32] Kiriha
    In that case, time for your
    first task, my servant.

    Thanks for the food.

    Eat up!
[15:37] Kasumi
    I made enough for seconds.
[15:39] Kazuya
    Okay.
[15:41] Kasumi
    By the way, Ya-kun, you were sure
    making a lot of noise today.
[15:45] Kasumi
    Rein it in a bit, or you'll

    Man, these boiled veggies are great!

[15:55] Kasumi
    Hm? Did I just hear laughter?
[15:58] Kazuya
    I-It's probably just the TV...
[16:00] Inoue Kikuko
    I'm seventeen years old!
[16:02] Kiriha
    Oh, please!
[16:03] Kazuya
    Anyway, how long was Dad's
    business trip again?
[16:07] Kasumi
    A bit longer? It seems he's still busy.
[16:13] Kiriha
    Damn it all!
    That combo is practically cheating!

    You're sure that's not someone upstairs?

    You can really taste the stock...
[16:23] Kasumi
    What's wrong, Ya-kun?
    You're acting kind of weird.
[16:27] Kasumi
    Have you finally realized
    how attractive I am?!
[16:30] Kasumi
    Do you want to marry me now?!
[16:32] Kazuya
    Uh, I'm not so sure about that...
[16:34] Announcer
    You lose!
[16:37] Kiriha
    Oh, I am done!
[16:39] Kiriha
    Ducking all the damn time! Why don't
    you go home and be a family man?!
[16:43] Kiriha
    Anything else interesting around here?
[16:51] Kiriha
    Ah, yes. It has been too long since my last.
[16:54] Kazuya
    I'm turning into a nervous wreck down here...
[16:57] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san? Could you please keep it down?
[17:02] Kazuya
    Huh?
[17:05] Kazuya
    Where'd she go?
[17:08] Kazuya
    Did she leave already?
[17:13] Kasumi
    Ya-kun, go ahead and take your bath!
[17:16] Kazuya
    Okay!
[17:19] Kasumi
    I'll join you in a second!
[17:21] Kazuya
    Please don't!
[17:30] Kazuya
    Where did Kiriha-san vanish off to?

    Is she prowling for more snacks?

SIGN    Response 2
[17:52] Kiriha
    You have some nerve to try
    to peep on me in the bath!
[17:56] Kazuya
    I swear. I-I didn't do it on purpose.
[18:03] Kiriha
    What are you doing?
[18:05] Kazuya
    Y-Yes?!
[18:07] Kiriha
    You are here to wash my back, yes?
[18:09] Kiriha
    Get to it, then.
[18:15] Kazuya
    So she took the third option.
[18:18] Kiriha
    There, that's the spot. Keep it up.
[18:23] Kiriha
    Well done! My turn.
[18:25] Kiriha
    Go on.
[18:26] Kazuya
    Hey!
[18:27] Kiriha
    You are fortunate, Kazuya!
[18:29] Kiriha
    You have the privilege to be
    washed by me tonight!
[18:32] Kazuya
    That's fine! You don't have to!
[18:33] Kiriha
    Why are you so embarrassed?
[18:35] Kiriha
    We used to bathe together all the time...
[18:38] Kazuya
    Th-That was a long time ago!
[18:40] Kazuya
    Even if I don't remember it...
[18:55] Kazuya
    It's true, though.
[18:57] Kazuya
    This feels familiar.
[19:05] Kiriha
    You have certainly grown, Kazuya...
[19:09] Kiriha
    You were this little once!
[19:11] Kazuya
    Come on, don't be silly.
[19:13] Kiriha
    Your dick, of course.
[19:15] Kiriha
    And firm and proud it stands!
[19:17] Kiriha
    Has my nude form aroused you?
[19:18] Kazuya
    No! That's not—
[19:20] Kazuya
    Don't look!
[19:23] Kiriha
    What, still hiding its head in that hood?
[19:26] Kiriha
    Here, allow me.
[19:28] Kazuya
    Huh? Wha—
[19:29] Kiriha
    Come on already!
[19:30] Kazuya
    S-Stop!
[19:37] Kiriha
    You act like a ninny
    over something trivial.
[19:40] Kazuya
    It's a very delicate matter,
    involving a very delicate body part!
[19:45] Kiriha
    Not very manly, are you?
[19:48] Kiriha
    Oh, look at the time.
[19:50] Kiriha
    Let's head to bed, Kazuya.
[19:52] Kazuya
    Oh, I'll go get the guest futon.
[19:57] Kiriha
    Why?
[19:59] Kazuya
    Huh?
[20:03] Kazuya
    Huh?!
[20:06] Kazuya
    This isn't a good idea...
[20:09] Kazuya
    Boys and girls past a certain age...
[20:11] Kazuya
    shouldn't... well...
[20:14] Kiriha
    But nothing has changed.
    We always slept together, did we not?
[20:21] Kazuya
    Come to think of it, you're right.
[20:23] Kazuya
    Well, good night, then.
[20:25] Kiriha
    Aye. Good night.
[20:37] Kazuya
    She appeared so suddenly.
[20:39] Kazuya
    Just when I thought she'd saved me,
    she starts calling me her servant.
[20:44] Kazuya
    Now she seems to have
    made herself at home.
[20:47] Kazuya
    And yet... for some reason,
    this all feels perfectly natural.
[20:54] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san sleeping beside me,
    with her comforting, familiar scent.
[21:10] Kazuya
    How am I supposed to sleep like this?!
[21:33] Kokuyo
    The malison has grown slightly denser.
[21:37] Kokuyo
    What shall we do?
[21:39] Kukuri
    Ain't no need to rush it.
[21:42] Kukuri
    'Specially so soon after that incident.
[21:44] Kukuri
    For now, let's keep an eye on things.

    Perhaps the class rep wrung him out too hard.
[04:47] K1
    Sorry, it's nothing!
[04:49] Shiro
    Anyway, like I was saying...
[04:52] Shiro
    they say that after school, when hardly
    anyone's around, a ghost will appear!
[04:58] Yama

    Oh, I'm sorry.
[06:59] Chi
    I just remembered how

[07:02] K1
    Oh, that's right! You used
    to come over and tutor me.
[07:08] K1
    Thank you for your assistance.
[07:10] Chi
    Well, you're quite welcome.
[07:12] K1
    I was falling behind back then,
    so you were a huge help.
[07:15] Chi
    And you're all caught up now?
[07:18] K1
    Sorry, I guess I'm not much better.
[07:33] Chi
    Well...
[07:35] Chi
    if you wouldn't mind...
[07:38] Chi
    I could come to your house again...

    and help you study?

    I mean, I do enjoy teaching others and all.

    I finished the report,
    so I'll go put the books back.
[08:08] Chi
    Good job.
[08:11] Chi
    I'll head back to class.
[08:14] K1
    Sure. Thanks, Chisato!
[08:33] Chi
    Huh?
[08:35] K1
    Let's see...
[08:37] K2
    There you are.
[08:42] K2
    Ka...zu...ya...
[08:52] Chi
    Kazuya-kun? Is something wrong?
[08:57] K1
    Nothing at all.
[08:58] Chi
    What happened to your face?!
[09:00] K1
    It's okay. Yeah.
[09:02] K1
    I'm fine, actually.
[09:04] K1
    Anyway, weren't you going back to class?
[09:08] Chi
    I was, but the door wouldn't open.
[09:17] ---
    Open!
[09:20] Chi
    The windows won't open, either!
[09:25] K1
    Both the windows and the doors.
    Every exit has been cut off.
[09:29] K1
    Which means...
[09:32] K1
    we're trapped in here?
[09:40] Kiriha
    Tsugumomo!
[09:46] Chi
    This is Tsugumomo.
[09:57] K1
    Nothing's working.
[10:00] K1
    We can't even break the doors or windows,
    much less open them.
[10:04] Chi
    This is bad.
[10:08] K2
    You seem to be in quite the quandary, Kazuya.
[10:12] K2
    Your due comeuppance for
    trying to leave me behind!
[10:16] K1
    Not wearing any...?
[10:20] K1
    Wait over there a second, Chisato!
[10:24] ---
    Right...
[10:30] K2
    What is this? Feeling amorous
    this early in the day?
[10:33] K1
    N-No! I told you not to come out!
[10:37] K1
    Wait, are you doing
    this to get back at me?!
[10:42] K2
    I'd hardly bother with such roundabout means.
[10:48] K2
    You should know I'd simply beat you silly!
[10:51] K1
    That's true...
[10:53] K2
    Anyway, should misfortune
    befall you around here,
[10:56] K2
    it is safe to assume
    a tsukumogami is the cause.
[10:59] K1
    A tsukumogami? Like you?
[11:06] K2
    Not like me at all, imbecile!
[11:09] K2
    Listen well. Tsukumogami generally
    fall into two categories.
[11:13] K2
    Some, like myself,
[11:14] K2
    arise from objects or tools after
    many years, and are known as "tsugumomo".
[11:20] K2
    In contrast, that which
    attacked you yesterday,
[11:23] K2
    was a sort of tsukumogami that arises quickly
    from human emotions, known as "amasogi".
[11:30] K2
    Tsugumomo have fully-developed
    consciousnesses,
[11:33] K2
    and are enlightened creatures. Like myself.
[11:36] K1
    Uh-huh...
[11:37] K2
    But amasogi are like newborn babies.
[11:41] K2
    Thus, they tend to
    cause problems like this.
[11:45] K2
    We shall need help to resolve this.
[11:47] K2
    That girl will do nicely.
[11:49] K1
    Huh?!
[11:50] K1
    Wait a second!
[11:57] K2
    Your patience was appreciated, girl.
[12:00] Chi
    It's nice to meet you. I'm Chikaishi Chisato.
[12:03] K2
    Right. I'm Kiriha the tsukumoga—
[12:07] K1
    That's not right! Do it like we agreed.
[12:09] K2
    Fo demanfing...
[12:12] K2
    Uh, I am Kazuya's... cousin? Here to...
[12:17] K2
    check? Check out the school.
[12:19] K2
    Uh, my name is Obina Kiriha.
    Nice to meet you.
[12:23] Chi
    A likely story.
[12:24] K1
    So um, Kiriha-san loves occult stuff,
    and knows a lot about strange phenomena.
[12:30] K1
    She said she could help us find a way out!
[12:34] Chi
    I see.
[12:38] Chi
    In other words...
[12:40] Chi
    this supernatural situation is being
    caused by one of these "amasogi"?
[12:44] K2
    Exactly! You're quite a sharp girl.
[12:47] K2
    Now, to address our escape.
[12:51] K2
    Clearly, smashing doors and windows was all
    your imbecile mind could imagine,
[12:56] K2
    but I'm more clever than that.
[12:57] K1
    Yeah, sure.
[13:01] K2
    We'll use these.
[13:05] K1
    What are they?
[13:06] K2
    Kimono clasps interwoven with my hair.
[13:09] K2
    They should react to amasogi,
    tsugumomo, or any other spirits.
[13:13] K1
    And we can find the amasogi with this?
[13:16] K2
    That's right.
[13:17] K2
    This was caused by something around
    here being animated by a wish.
[13:22] K2
    Once we learn that wish,
    the resolution may prove simple.
[13:26] Chi
    Who would benefit from
    trapping us in the library?
[13:31] K1
    I can't think of anyone.
[13:33] K2
    Further speculation won't get us anywhere.
[13:36] K2
    Now, get looking!
[13:38] K1
    Yeah, all right.
[13:50] Chi
    I found it!
[13:53] K2
    Already, eh?
[13:54] Chi

    Kazuya-kun, Kiriha-san,
    I'm sorry about yesterday.
[20:32] Chi
    I still can't believe it happened,
    not to mention that it was my fault...
[20:37] K2
    No need to blame yourself, Chisato.
[20:40] K2
    There was another, bigger cause—
[20:43] K2
    malison.
[20:44] Chi
    "Malison"?
[20:45] K1
    What's malison?
[20:47] K2
    Let's see...
SIGN    Malison
[20:49] K2
    You might say malison is
    the distortions in reality—the gaps.
[20:52] K2
    Perhaps the root of all creation,
[20:54] K2
    or the remnants of it.
[20:56] K1
    I don't follow at all...
[20:58] K2
    I'm not surprised.
[20:59] K2
    It exists everywhere, like air,
[21:01] K2
    but it reacts to people's wills,
    warping the laws of reality.
[21:05] K2
    In theory, with the power of malison,
[21:08] K2
    one could shape the world to one's will.
[21:10] K1
    Seriously? You could do anything?
[21:13] K2
    At its normal density,
    malison's effects are limited.
[21:17] K2
    But think about how bizarre
    what happened yesterday was.
[21:21] Chi
    You mean the library incident was caused
    by abnormally high-density malison?
[21:25] K2
    Precisely.
[21:27] K2
    But it's rare that sufficient malison
    accumulates in one place
[21:31] K2
    to produce an amasogi that powerful.
[21:34] K1
    Then why did it happen?
[21:36] K2
    The local god who oversees
    this area is at fault.
[21:39] K1
    Local god?
[21:41] K2
    Aye.
[21:41] K2
    It's all that idiot Kukuri's fault.

    I can't let a chance like this slip by!

[00:35] Shirou
    Well...
[00:36] Shirou
    Kazuya and I are friends, actually.

    Should Kazuya-san awaken,
[02:42] (Flashback) Kukuri
    the situation will rapidly turn grave.
[02:44] (Flashback) Kukuri
    This necessitates emergency measures.
[02:47] (Flashback) Kiriha
    Measures...
[02:49] (Flashback) Kikuri
    I'll seal away the excess spiritual energy,
    along with all his memories of this incident.
[02:55] (Flashback) Kikuri
    That ought stabilize him.
[02:58] (Flashback) Kiriha
    Then, please!
[02:59] (Flashback) Kikuri
    The problem then becomes what happens to you.
[03:03] (Flashback) Kikuri
    A tsukumogami forgotten by its owner

    will very quickly lose its power.
[03:09] (Flashback) Kikuri
    At worst, you might revert
    to no more than a mere obi.
[03:13] (Flashback) Kikuri
    For a tsukumogami,
    it would be akin to dying.
[03:19] (Flashback) Kiriha
    It matters not.
[03:24] Dad
    You forget anything, Kazuya?
[03:26] Dad
    Did you use the bathroom?

    I'm gonna be home early tonight,

    Hey, Kazuya!
[03:50] Shirou
    Go to hell!

[04:18] (Flashback) Shirou
    My treat!
[04:25] Shirou
    Damn you, Kazuya.
[04:27] Shirou
    You could have told me
    you knew a girl like this!
[04:30] Shirou
    Even if she's a little... well, a lot weird.
[04:33] Shirou
    Her hotness more than makes up for it!
[04:36] Shirou
    Especially that chest!
[04:38] Shirou
    How glorious!
[04:40] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    It's your treat, you said?
[04:42] (Flashback) Shirou
    Sure! Order whatever you want.

    Have you decided on your order?
[04:47] (Flashback) Shirou

    Bring me a sirloin steak.

    the wild vegetable soba,
    tofu and vegetable soup...
[05:19] (Flashback) Shirou

    Please, take this assortment

[06:16] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    Right. Thank you.
[06:19] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    The meal was most appreciated. Farewell, now.
[06:23] (Flashback) Servers
    Thanks for dining with us!
[06:28] (Flashback) Shirou
    Well, I'd better get going—
[06:32] (Flashback) Servers
    Sir...
[06:34] Shirou
    So they took all the money I had,
[06:37] Shirou
    and on top of that, I'm in debt to Osamu now!
[06:39] Osamu
    Don't worry.
[06:40] Osamu
    You need but provide 500,000
    yen's worth of service.
[06:43] Osamu
    Erasing, screen tones...
    I've got plenty of work in mind.
[06:48] Shirou
    Right on, Osamu-sama! Just name it.
[06:52] Shirou
    After this, Shiramine Shirou
[06:54] Shirou
    was subjected to a summer
    of doujinshi creation hell.
[06:59] Kazuya
    Anyway, you said this lady
    was looking for me?
[07:02] Shirou
    I have no idea who she could be.
[07:04] Shirou
    Quit playing dumb!
    You can't deny the evidence!
[07:07] Kazuya
    So what am I supposed to say?
[07:13] (Flashback) Kukuri
    You knucklehead!
[07:15] (Flashback) Kukuri
    Ya get treated to a meal at a restaurant...
[07:18] (Flashback) Kukuri
    and ya end up forgettin' your job?!
[07:20] (Flashback) Kukuri
    You birdbrain!
[07:21] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    I'm terribly sorry.
[07:23] (Flashback) Kukuri
    Apologies ain't gonna cut it!
[07:25] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    Lately, all I've had to eat are
    edible grass and mayonnaise,

    with my occasional sources of protein
    being frogs, snakes, and rats.
[07:34] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    I'm afraid the vision of
    such a feast stole my heart.
[07:39] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    The cause of all our ills is
    this shrine's donation situation.
[07:42] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    Maybe if its deity were notable enough
    to have been in the Kojiki records...
[07:46] (Flashback) Kukuri
    So you're gonna go there?!
    When ya know I'm sore 'bout that?!
[07:49] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    I think you must be hearing things.

[07:57] (Flashback) Kukuri

    Make contact after he leaves school.
[08:06] (Flashback) Kukuri
    Got it? Don't go causin' a ruckus!
[08:09] (Flashback) Kukuri
    And don't bring the washcloth girl.
[08:17] Shirou
    So that being the case...
[08:18] Shirou
    I challenge you, with lunch on the line.
[08:21] Shirou
    I'm flat broke here, man!
[08:23] Shirou
    Besides, Kasumi-san personally
    prepares your lunches, right?
[08:27] Kazuya
    What do you see in that sister of mine?
[08:30] Shirou
    Come on. Arm wrestle me.
[08:35] Kiriha
    Arm wrestling, is it?
[08:37] Kazuya
    You know about that?
[08:38] Kiriha
    Naturally! It was quite the pastime of mine.
[08:42] Students
    My lunch!
[08:44] Students
    Oh, no! Mine's gone, too!
[08:46] Students
    I was really looking forward
    to that cutlet sandwich!
[08:48] Kazuya
    What the...
[08:50] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, you didn't—
[08:53] Kazuya
    Sorry...
[08:54] Kiriha
    As long as you understand.
[08:56] Chi
    Could it be another amasogi?
[08:58] Kazuya
    Nah, it's just a thief or something.
[09:01] Kiriha
    But what human could
    consume the lunches of so many?
[09:06] Kokuyou
    Is Kagami Kazuya in here?!
[09:08] Everyone
    Found one!
[09:09] Shirou
    Wait! That's her!
[09:12] Shirou
    The bottomless stomach!
[09:14] Kokuyou
    Who are you?
[09:15] Shirou
    The guy who paid for your meal yesterday!
[09:18] Shirou
    Pay me back! Or let me fondle your tits!
[09:20] Kokuyou
    You were most generous to me yesterday.
[09:23] Kokuyou
    But you were the one who offered to pay.
[09:25] Shirou
    Not for every item on the menu!
[09:27] Shirou
    I got screwed over because of you!
[09:29] Kokuyou
    I'm sorry to hear that.
[09:31] Kokuyou
    But I have no money.
    You may rub my breasts.
[09:34] Shirou
    Yeah, I figured,
[09:35] Shirou
    but what are cops for
    if you can talk your way—
[09:38] (Flashback) Kokuyou
    But I have no money.
    You may rub my breasts.

    Judgment!
SIGN    Decultu—
[09:44] Kokuyou
    That matter aside,
[09:46] ---
    Kagami Kazuya, you're coming with me.
[09:48] Kazuya
    Huh?
[09:50] Kiriha
    I think not!
[09:52] Kiriha
    I can hardly have you running
    off with my servant.
[09:56] Kazuya
    You promised you wouldn't come out!
[09:58] Kokuyou
    Do not hinder my commandment,
    lowly tsukumogami.
[10:02] Kiriha
    I take it you serve her? She failed
    to teach you any manners, I see.
[10:06] Kokuyou
    I was strictly told not to bring you along.
[10:09] Kokuyou
    Begone, washcloth girl.
[10:13] Kiriha
    What did you just say?
[10:15] Kokuyou
    We have no need of you, washcloth girl.
[10:19] Kiriha
    S-So Kukuri's dog dares bark at me?!
[10:22] Kiriha
    Face me, you ogress!
[10:23] Kazuya
    Let's handle this calmly! Okay?!
[10:26] Kiriha
    Unhand me, Kazuya!
[10:29] Kokuyou
    Lost your nerve?
[10:30] Kiriha
    What?!
[10:31] Kazuya
    Easy, easy! Let's resolve
    this in a peaceful way!
[10:37] Kiriha
    I know.
[10:39] Kiriha
    You, with the demon teats.
[10:41] Kokuyou
    What is it, washcloth girl?
[10:43] Kiriha
    Let us settle this dispute
    with a bout of arm wrestling.
[10:48] Kokuyou
    Very well.
[10:56] Kokuyou
    And why must I change into this outfit?
[10:59] Shirou
    That's the official arm wrestling uniform!
[11:02] Kazuya
    So it was your idea?
[11:03] Chi
    I can't believe you're at it again—
[11:05] Kazuya
    So it'll be a single
    round of arm wrestling.
[11:08] Kazuya
    If Kiriha-san wins,
    she comes with us to the shrine.
[11:11] Kazuya
    If she loses, she has to stay here.
[11:13] Kazuya
    I can't help but notice that
    I have to go either way.
[11:17] Kiriha
    Kazuya, here.
[11:19] Kiriha
    Remove this desk. It's in the way.
[11:23] Kiriha
    Each of us may use only one arm.
[11:25] Kiriha
    Both feet must remain planted at all times.
[11:28] Kiriha
    Fail to do so and you lose.
[11:29] Kiriha
    Connect with a clean blow
    to the face and you win.
[11:32] Kiriha
    If I win, you will take me to her.
[11:36] Kokuyou
    I accept.
[11:40] Shirou
    I thought this was arm wrestling?
[11:41] Kiriha
    Oh, it is.
[11:44] Kiriha
    But this is how we do it.
[12:27] PE
    Hey! What are you kids doing?!
[12:30] PE
    It's way past the end of lunch break!
[12:32] Shirou
    Sorry, we got a little absorbed
    in the arm wresting match.
[12:36] PE
    Arm wrestling?
[12:38] PE
    What are you talking about?
[12:41] PE
    Huh?
[12:44] Kokuyou
    A deal's a deal.
[12:46] Kokuyou
    Follow if you must, washcloth girl.
[12:49] Kiriha
    Call me that again and
    I will rend you asunder!
[12:52] Chi
    There goes my spotless attendance record...
[12:56] Kazuya
    Why'd you come along, anyway?
[12:58] Chi
    I had no idea there was
    a shrine on this mountain.
[13:02] Kiriha
    Unheard of by the locals. What a sorry state.
[13:06] Kazuya
    It's my first time coming this way.
[13:09] Kazuya
    Except... it somehow feels like it's not.

[14:36] Kazuya
    A mask?
[14:38] Kazuya
    Is she the goddess of this shrine?
[14:40] Chi
    That's a Noh mask—
    a ko-omote, to be exact.
[14:43] Kiriha
    Look at you, so desperate to seem impressive.
[14:45] Kiriha
    What's this, Kukuri?
[14:47] Kiriha
    Our much belated reunion,
    and you greet me in a Noh mask?
[14:51] Kokuyou
    Watch your mouth!
[14:53] Kiku
    I remember asking for only Kazuya-san...
[14:57] Kokuyou
    I'm terribly sorry.
[14:59] Kokuyou
    I was challenged by the washcloth girl.
[15:02] Kiriha
    And I dominated her!
[15:03] Kokuyou
    You barely won.
[15:05] Kiku
    I see. Arm wrestling, was it?
[15:07] Kiku
    Time hasn't dulled your skills, Kiriha.
[15:10] Kiriha
    Naturally!
[15:11] Kiriha
    I'm the one who leads you,
    125 wins to 123 losses.
[15:15] Kiriha
    What chance could your disciple have had?
[15:20] Kiku
    No, the record is actually 124 battles,
    123 losses, and 1 draw, to my advantage.
[15:26] Kiku
    Perhaps your mind has grown
    frail in lieu of your body.
[15:30] Kiriha
    Sounds to me like you've gone senile!
[15:32] Kiriha
    And what exactly do you mean, one draw?!
[15:34] Kiku
    Do you not recall the battle
    we called off due to heavy rain?
[15:38] Kiriha
    That drizzle was an excuse
    to dodge an imminent loss!
[15:40] Kiku
    At any rate, you do not
    have more wins than me!
[15:43] Kiku
    Stop making up stories!
[15:45] Kiriha
    Face the facts, you goddess of idiocy!
[15:47] Kiku
    How dare you, you washcloth youkai?!
[15:49] Kazuya
    Hey! No fighting, please!
[15:53] Kiku
    Now, the reason I summoned...
[15:54] Kiriha
    Hold. Before that...
[15:56] Kiriha
    The seal was to last until he had fully
    matured. Why has it broken already?
[16:01] Kiriha
    And the disruptions in malison...
[16:04] Kiriha
    Is there something at work here?
[16:06] Kiku
    The seal has not been completely broken.
[16:10] Kiku
    Its effect has weakened,
[16:12] Kiku
    but his memories tied to the truth
    remain sealed, don't they?
[16:15] Kiriha
    Yes.
[16:16] Kiriha
    But this is untenable.
[16:19] Kiriha
    You should reapply the seal
    and soothe the malison disruption.
[16:24] Kiku
    I cannot do that just yet.
[16:27] Kiriha
    What?!
[16:28] Kiku
    However, there is a solution.
[16:32] Kiku
    Kagami Kazuya.
[16:33] Kazuya
    Yes?
[16:34] Kiku
    You will see to the exorcism of
    the phenomena in this region.
[16:39] Kiku
    I call upon you to be a malison cleanser.
[16:41] Kazuya
    Malison cleanser?
[16:43] Kazuya
    Me? Not Kiriha-san?
[16:45] Kiriha
    Impossible!
[16:47] Kiriha
    Stop with your sadistic jokes!
[16:49] Kiriha
    You can have your priestess there
    handle the malison cleansing!
[16:52] Kiku
    I'm afraid I'm not joking.
[16:55] Kiku
    Kagami Kazuya-san...
[16:58] Kiku
    Over the last few days, you've been party
    to several strange occurrences, yes?
[17:02] Kazuya
    Yes...
[17:04] Kazuya
    In this ordinary town,
    such aberrations occur only around you.
[17:09] Kazuya
    Do you understand why that is?
[17:12] Kazuya
    No...
[17:14] Kiriha
    Enough, Kukuri!
[17:15] Kiku
    It is because you are the beacon
    that attracts the malison.
[17:22] Kiku
    The root of danger to all people,
    wherever you may go...
[17:26] Kiku
    That is what you are.
[17:30] Kiku
    The otherworldly threats caused by malison
    ought be dealt with by their very cause.
[17:35] Kiku
    Logical, wouldn't you say?
[17:37] Kiriha
    Ignore her, Kazuya!
[17:39] Kiriha
    That lying serpent simply
    wants you to do her bidding!
[17:43] Kiriha
    We're leaving!
[17:52] Kiriha
    A barrier?
[17:53] Kiku
    This is hallowed ground.
[17:55] Kiku
    I'm afraid you'll have no freedom until
    I receive an agreeable answer.
[18:00] Kiku
    Do you absolutely refuse?
[18:03] Kiriha
    Of course! Now drop this and let us through!
[18:09] Kiku
    I'm afraid I have no choice, then.
[18:12] Kiku
    I suppose I can at least
    eliminate the seed of calamity.
[18:18] Kokuyou
    Pardon me.
[18:22] Kazuya
    Chisato!
[18:26] Kiriha
    A hostage?! That's underhanded!
[18:28] Kiku
    I am simply removing the innocent bystander.
[18:31] Kiku
    I'll ask again...
[18:33] Kiku
    Will you accept the duty
    of cleansing the malison?
[18:36] Kazuya
    M-Me?
[18:38] Kiriha
    Enough!
[18:41] Kiku
    Very well. I won't tell
    you not to fight back.
[18:45] Kiku
    Run as you may, and make the most
    of your fleeting final moments.
[18:49] Kiriha
    Have you gone mad, Kukuri?!
[18:55] Kiku
    Bear witness...
[18:57] Kiku
    to the power of Kukuri-hime
    the water goddess.
[19:00] Kiku
    Now, dance for me, O droplets of water.

    Water Pressure.
[19:09] Kazuya

[19:10] Kiriha
    Get back, Kazuya!

    Pierce them, spouts of water...

    I won't play your game!
[19:42] Kiku
    Did you think the barrier
    did not extend to the sky?
[19:46] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[19:47] Kiirha
    Do not speak, lest you bite your tongue!
[19:50] Kiriha
    There is no way out. In that case...

    Water Mirage. I'm afraid I have you now.
[20:21] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[20:23] Kiku
    It was clever of you to aim for the Noh mask.
[20:26] Kiku
    As you have surmised, my power
    is currently tied to this mask.
[20:31] Kiku
    Not that such knowledge will help you.
[20:34] Kazuya
    Are you okay, Kiriha-san?
[20:42] Kazuya
    That's enough, Kiriha-san!
    I'll do what she wants!
[20:46] Kiriha
    Fool...
[20:48] Kiriha
    You needn't put yourself in the line of fire.
[20:52] Kiriha
    Just be silent, and stay behind me!
[20:54] Kazuya
    But I...
[20:55] Kiku
    Let us put an end to this, then.
[21:05] Kiku
    O noble white mountain peaks,
[21:10] Kiku
    gush forth with a blessed torrent...
[21:15] Kiriha
    She's using the full incantation!
[21:19] Kiku
    By the will of those whose
    dominion is all that swirls...
SIGN    Water Impact
[21:24] Kiku
    Water Impact!
[21:34] Kiriha
    What now?!
[21:36] Kiriha
    How do I stop this?!
[21:43] Kiku
    It's over.

    You defended yourself with eight obi, I see.
[02:38] Kuku
    But I also see it has taken
    quite the heavy toll.
[02:46] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[02:47] Kazuya
    You've shrunk?!
[02:49] Kuku
    I doubt you're in any shape
    to block a second Water Impact.
[02:53] Kuku
    Will you reconsider?
[02:55] Kiriha
    I think not!
[02:58] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[02:59] Kiriha
    Kazuya, if I fall, so be it.
[03:02] Kiriha
    Do as Kukuri says.
[03:04] Kiriha
    All will have been for nothing if you die.
[03:06] Kazuya
    I can't just...
[03:08] Kuku
    O noble...
[03:10] Kazuya
    Just give up already!
[03:12] Kazuya
    I just have to do this malison
    cleansing thing, right?!
[03:15] Kiriha
    You can't.
[03:17] Kuku
    ...gush forth with a blessed torrent...
[03:20] Kazuya
    Why are you so against this?!
[03:22] Kiriha
    Why, you ask?
[03:24] Kiriha
    Because this is my reason for being here!
[03:28] Kiriha
    Wall Weave!
[03:31] Kuku
    Water Impact.
[03:41] Kiriha
    It's no good. I'm faltering.
[03:46] Kiriha
    Forgive me...
[03:48] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[03:49] Kiriha
    Forgive me, Kanaka.
    I promised, but...
[03:57] Kanak
    Hey. Hey!
[04:02] Kanak
    Howdy!
[04:06] Kazuya
    Who are you?
[04:07] Kazuya
    Wait, where am I?!
[04:09] Kazuya
    We were fighting a goddess,
    and got engulfed in water...
[04:13] Kanaka
    Sounds rough! Water Impact is no joke.
[04:16] Kanaka
    Kukuri-chan's got no mercy!
[04:18] Kanaka
    Meanwhile, Kiriha-chan doesn't
    know when she's beat.
[04:21] Kanaka
    She was dealing with a water goddess!
[04:23] Kanaka
    Talk about getting in over your head.
[04:26] Kanaka
    Get it?!
[04:32] Kazuya
    I should go. I really
    don't have time for this.
[04:35] Kanaka
    I actually need to ask a favor of you.
[04:39] Kazuya
    A favor?
[04:40] Kanak
    Save Kiriha-chan.
[04:43] Kazuya
    Me, save her?
[04:45] Kazuya
    From that goddess?
[04:46] Kanaka
    No, no. The thing is,
    she's bound by an old arrangement.
[04:50] Kanaka
    I want you to free her from it.
[04:54] Kazuya
    She's bound? What am I supposed to do?
[04:58] Kanakka
    Well, that's simple!
[05:00] Kanakka
    Get strong!
[05:02] Kanakka
    So that you can protect her,
    instead of being protected by her!
[05:06] Kazuya
    That's crazy!
[05:07] Kanak
    Is not!
[05:09] Kanak
    But for now, here's how to use your abilities
    to escape this predicament!
[05:17] Kazuya
    Let's see...
[05:19] Kazuya
    An ultimate attack... and her true name?
[05:22] Kanaka
    Yes! You've got the gist of it!
[05:25] Kanaka
    Take it from here!
[05:26] Kazuya
    Wait a second! What is
    Kiriha-san's true name?!
[05:30] Kanaka
    You should know it already.
    Good luck, Kazuya!
[05:45] Kiriha
    Are you awake, Kazuya?
[05:47] Kuku
    How resilient.
[05:50] Kuku
    But you don't have time to recuperate.
[05:54] Kiriha
    Shield Weave!
[05:55] Kazuya
    Wait!
[05:56] Kazuya
    Change back into an obi, Kiriha-san!
[05:58] Kazuya
    I'll use you.
[06:00] Kiriha
    You'll what?!
[06:01] Kazuya
    You can't fight on your own
    anymore! Isn't that right?!
[06:04] Kiriha
    Don't be ridiculous!
    You're my servant! Do not defy me!
[06:10] Kazuya
    Your master, Kagami Kazuya, commands you!
[06:13] Kazuya
    Return to your original form, Ayasakura!
[06:21] Kiriha
    Where did you learn how to use true names?!
[06:24] Kiriha
    Do you realize what you've done?!
[06:26] Kiriha
    Now you must be the one to face Kukuri!
[06:27] Kazuya
    Ow, ow, ow...
[06:30] Kazuya
    I know.
[06:31] Kazuya
    Let's fight together!
[06:33] Kiriha
    Y-You fool! Know your place!
[06:36] Kazuya
    You don't have any strength left, do you?
[06:40] Kiriha
    Have you a strategy?
[06:43] Kazuya
    I do!
[06:45] Kiriha
    Very well.
[06:47] Kukuri
    Improvisation born of desperation.
[06:51] Kukuri
    But will it actually work?
[06:58] Kukuri
    Water Pressure.
[06:59] Kiriha
    It comes!
[07:00] Kazuya
    Shield Weave!
[07:02] Kazuya
    Huh?
[07:07] Kazuya
    Whoops.
[07:08] Kiriha
    That was pathetic!
[07:09] Kazuya
    Ow! I'll get it right the next time!
[07:13] Kukuri
    Water Wheel.
[07:20] Kazuya
    Whoa!
[07:21] Kiriha
    Hah! Did you see that, Kukuri?!
[07:24] Kiriha
    Behold Kazuya's skill!
[07:26] Kukuri
    He certainly learns quickly.
[07:29] Kukuri
    Then let us see how you handle my full force.
[07:34] Kukuri
    O noble white mountain peaks,
    gush forth with a blessed torrent...
[07:44] Kiriha
    Another big one!
[07:46] Kiriha
    And if we don't weather this, we're finished!
[07:51] Kiriha
    Show me how you wield an obi, Kazuya!
[07:55] Kazuya
    Right!
[07:56] Kazuya
    Flowing serpent, heed my will.
[08:01] Kazuya
    Twisting Water Wyrm!
[08:08] Kiriha
    What now?
[08:10] (Flashback) Kanaka
    I guarantee Kukuri-chan's finishing
    blow will be a water snake.
[08:15] (Flashback) Kanaka
    So all you have to do is...
[08:17] Kazuya
    Shield Weave!
[08:21] Kiriha
    Fool! You can't defend against
    that thing with a single shield!
[08:28] Kazuya
    Watershed!
SIGN    Shield Weave: Watershed
[08:32] Kukuri
    Impossible!
[08:39] Kazuya

SIGN    Spiral Weave: Layered Edge
[08:54] Kiriha
    This technique!
[09:16] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[09:18] Kukuri
    You were very close.
[09:20] Kukuri
    It's impressive you cut through my defenses,
[09:23] Kukuri
    but it seems you were
    unable to strike me down.
[09:26] Kukuri
    Now, then...
[09:26] Kazuya
    Stop it! Let go of Kiriha-san!
[09:30] Kukuri
    Then what will you do?
[09:36] Kazuya
    I understand.
[09:39] Kazuya
    I, Kagami Kazuya, accept the
    duty of malison cleansing!
[09:43] Kazuya
    That's what you wanted, right?!
    Now, please, let go of Kiriha-san!
[09:46] Kukuri
    You will be held to your words.
[09:50] Kiriha
    Kazuya...
[09:53] ---
    Kiriha-san!
[09:57] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, are you okay? Are you injured?
[10:03] Kiriha
    I'm fine, you fool.
[10:09] Kukuri
    And so the matter is settled
    just as it should have been.
[10:13] Kukuri
    I have high hopes for you,
    our new malison cleanser.
[10:36] Kiriha
    Tsugumomo!
[10:40] Kukuri
    This here's Tsugumomo!
[10:56] K3
    No! Don't look!
[11:03] K2
    What happened to you?!
[11:06] K2
    I see! Well, that explains the Noh mask!
[11:09] K2
    Your power really was tied to it!
[11:14] K3
    You've done shrunk, same as me!
[11:17] K2
    Hold, now!
[11:24] K3
    What's the big idea?
[11:25] K2
    You certainly made sport
    of me earlier, didn't you?
[11:29] K3
    Now see, I got a right good
    reason for all this...
[11:32] K2
    Save your excuses for later.
[11:34] K2
    First, let me repay your kind treatment.
[11:37] K3
    H-Hang on! I'm a goddess, ya know!
[11:40] K3
    I'm a goddess over here!
[11:42] K2
    Who cares, you imbecile?!
[11:46] K3
    Not the thighs!
[11:49] K3
    Yer exposing my unmentionables!
[11:53] K2
    How's that? Well?
[11:54] K2
    Why not some more?
[11:59] K2
    So you're telling me
[12:02] K2
    this was all a ruse to
    get Kazuya to command me?
[12:06] K3
    Darn straight!
    I warn't about to kill Kazuyan.
[12:09] K3
    With my divinity dryin' up
    puttin' me in a pickle,
[12:12] K3
    he was just the tsugumomo wielder I needed!
[12:15] K3
    But knowin' Kiriha, I reckoned
    she wouldn't be awful keen
[12:19] K3
    on puttin' Kazuyan in harm's way.
[12:23] K3
    So I gave him a nudge to make
    sure he had to use you!
[12:26] K1
    That was a nudge?
[12:28] K3
    Kiriha would have to mind orders
    once commanded by her true name.
[12:33] K3
    Meanin' all I had to do was convince Kazuyan!
[12:37] K3
    Well, them's the breaks!
[12:39] K3
    Lookin' forward to workin' with you!
[12:43] K2
    Y-You...
[12:44] K2
    little pest!
[12:50] K1
    Come on, Kiriha-san!
[12:51] Chi
    She's just a child!
[12:52] K3
    I ain't no kid!
[12:55] K4
    Enough, you impertinent fool.
[12:56] K3
    Don't just sit there! Do something!
[13:02] K3
    Blargh...
[13:13] Chi
    Well, I'm this way.
[13:15] K1
    Sorry, Chisato. I'll make
    this up to you later.
[13:19] K2
    My apologies for the trouble, Chisato.
[13:21] K2
    We'll see you tomorrow.
[13:31] K1
    Hey, Kiriha-san...
[13:35] K1
    Well... this whole malison cleanser thing.
[13:38] K1
    I know I was kind of forced into it...
[13:42] K1
    but I'll try to do a good job at it.
[13:47] K1
    So I'll be counting on your help.
[13:50] K2
    Aye.
[14:00] (Flashback) K1
    Well, we'll head back now.
[14:02] (Flashback) K3
    Countin' on ya!
[14:08] (Flashback) K2
    Kukuri.
[14:11] (Flashback) K2
    Make sure that Kazuya doesn't...
[14:15] (Flashback) K3
    I know.
[14:23] K4
    Is this for the best?
[14:26] K3
    I dunno.
[14:27] K3
    Nothin' for it but to have faith in Kazuyan.
[14:36] K3
    So... what're we gonna do 'bout this?
[14:39] K4
    I'm not sure.
[14:44] K4
    The ventilation has certainly improved.
[14:47] K3
    No doubt.
[14:55] K1
    You really did shrink.
[14:59] K2
    Enough grousing! You're a lowly servant!
[15:03] K2
    I won't be stuck in this form,
[15:05] K2
    but it may be some time
    before I am fully restored.
[15:08] K1
    You're sure you're not hurt anywhere?
[15:13] K2
    Do not treat me like a child!
[15:17] K1
    Well, as long as you're okay.
[15:20] K2
    Are you really that concerned?
[15:23] K1
    Well yes, I'm worried.
[15:25] K2
    In that case, why don't
    you take a thorough look?
[15:30] K1
    Hey, wait a sec!
[15:35] K1
    I should've known better...
[15:37] K2
    Why act so defeated? You were
    the one who wanted to see.
[15:45] K2
    Yes, that's the spot.
[15:47] K1
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:50] K2
    Your hands feel much larger now.
[15:53] K1
    Only because you shrank, Kiriha-san.
[15:55] K2
    I imagine you're larger down there now, too.
[15:58] K1
    I-I am not!
[16:04] K2
    The tub is so much bigger!
[16:06] K1
    No playing in the bath!
[16:08] K2
    Very well...
[16:18] (Flashback) K1
    Spiral Weave: Layered Edge!
[16:23] K1
    The eightfold layered Spiral Weave...
[16:26] K1
    That was Kanaka's technique.
[16:37] (Flashback) K5
    Say, Kiriha-chan...
[16:41] (Flashback) K5
    If anything...
[16:42] (Flashback) K5
    Hypothetically, if anything were to
    happen to me, take care of Kazuya.
[16:48] (Flashback) K2
    Someone as hard to kill as you?
    Don't be silly!
[16:53] (Flashback) K5
    Is that a no?
[16:56] (Flashback) K2
    Fine. Fine, then.
[16:58] (Flashback) K2
    Should that happen, I will keep Kazuya safe.
[17:02] (Flashback) K5
    Kiriha-chan...
[17:05] (Flashback) K5
    Thank you.
[17:07] (Flashback) K2
    R-Right...
[17:11] K2
    Kazuya...
[17:12] K1
    Huh?
[17:13] K2
    I'll keep...
[17:16] K2
    you sablub-blub...
[17:25] K2
    That was careless of me.
[17:28] K2
    Kazuya...
[17:30] K2
    I fear I am done for.
[17:32] K1
    Oh, come on. You just got a little dizzy.
[17:35] K2
    Pudding... One last pudding before I...
[17:38] K1
    I'm not falling for that.
[17:40] K2
    Pudding...
[17:47] K6
    Old clothes? Of mine?
[17:49] K1
    Yeah. Just on the off chance
    you still have them.
[17:54] K1
    From around preschool, if possible.
[17:58] K6
    What's this about?
[18:00] K1
    Well... I just...
[18:09] K6
    Oh, no! Have you discovered that
    you're into that sort of thing?!
[18:14] K6
    Don't do this to me, Ya-kun!
[18:16] K6
    Only pain and suffering lies down that path!
[18:21] K6
    This may be my chance.
[18:22] K6
    I have to teach him the
    charms of an older woman!
[18:25] K6
    And then I'll take a firm
    hold of Ya-kun's heart!
[18:29] K6
    Bring it on! Your big sis
    will always welcome you!
[18:32] K1
    Never mind. Sorry for
    interrupting your cooking.
[18:40] Chi
    Old clothes?
[18:42] Chi
    I'll take a look, but I don't know if
    I can get them to you immediately.
[18:45] K1
    Yeah, that figures.
    Sorry for the sudden request.
[18:48] Chi
    I'm sorry. I'll get on it as soon as I can.
[18:51] K1
    Yeah, thanks. I'll see you later.
[18:58] K1
    I guess I can look through my clothes
    for something she could wear.
[19:21] O
    I've brought them.
[19:26] K1
    Osamu...
[19:28] O
    Here are the items you requested.
[19:32] K1
    Thanks.
[19:34] K1
    Sorry for springing this on you.
    I appreciate it.
[19:38] O
    I will not pry.
[19:41] O
    You have your reasons for
    desiring little girls' clothing.
[19:46] O
    I suppose it just means
[19:48] O
    we all have our inner shadows
    that we keep hidden from others.
[19:52] K1
    Please stop. You don't even
    know the half of it.
[19:58] K2
    Oh, well done, Kazuya!
[20:00] K2
    Give it to me, quickly now!
[20:01] K2
    You bought pudding, yes?
[20:03] K1
    Oh, well, I did buy some while I was out.
[20:07] K1
    Here. I borrowed some
    clothes for you to wear.
[20:12] K1
    My clothes wouldn't fit you,
[20:14] K1
    and I'd feel bad making you stay
    in obi form all the time.
[20:19] K2
    How considerate!
[20:21] K2
    You're finally learning
    to think like a servant!
[20:35] K2
    Kazuya...
[20:38] K2
    what in the world...
[20:40] K2
    made you select...
[20:43] K2
    these clothes?!
[20:44] K1
    Well, I asked Osamu just in case
    he had some, and he lent me these.
[20:49] K2
    Osamu? The kid with the glasses?
[20:52] K2
    What on Earth is he?
[20:54] K1
    Not sure.
[20:56] K1
    He says they're reference
    materials for his manga...
[20:59] K2
    I'm hardly sure if this
    qualifies as clothing.
[21:03] K2
    It's just a string.
[21:05] K1
    Well, hopefully a few of these
    are actually wearable.
[21:10] K2
    So, which of these costumes
    is to your liking?
[21:13] K2
    If you're insistent, I might
    consider wearing one of them.
[21:18] K1
    No, that's all right.
[21:20] K2
    No need to be modest.
[21:21] K1
    No, seriously, it's fine.
[21:29] O
    Kagami-kun...
[21:30] K1
    Oh, Osamu. About yesterday—
[21:34] O
    You must have enjoyed yourself yesterday.
[21:38] K1
    Well...
[21:39] K1
    Osamu? Now hiss'n leer—
[21:41] K1
    Listen, Osamu, just wait, it's not—
[21:44] Chi
    What's this about hissing, Kazuya-kun?
[21:46] K1
    It's nothing.
[21:47] Chi
    How suspicious...
[21:48] K1
    Seriously, it's nothing!

    Training?
[00:05] K1
    Right now?
[00:06] K2
    Precisely!
[00:07] K2
    As a malison cleanser,
    you'll be expected to have fortitude.
[00:10] K1
    Nah. I had P.E. today, so I'm already tired.
[00:14] K2
    Fool!
[00:16] K2
    Obi Torture!
[00:22] K1
    Kiriha-san? Are you...?
[00:25] K2
    That's right.
[00:26] K2
    Since my battle with Kukuri,
    I have been unable to project myself.
[00:30] K2
    Worse, I'm consigned to this frail form.
[00:32] K2
    Suppose an incident like with the hair
    beast or book monster occurs again.
[00:37] K2
    I would be unable to aid you.
[00:41] K2
    So in spite of myself, I'll train you
    till you are fit to be malison cleanser
[00:45] K2
    and impart the art of wielding an obi to you.
[00:48] K2
    Now, it's time to train!

[02:49] K1
    This is... too much to ask of
    an indoorsy guy like me...
[02:54] K2
    You are being pathetic!
[02:55] K2
    Have you no mettle at all?!
[02:57] K2
    Next, you will run while carrying me!
[02:59] K1
    What?! That's impossible!
[03:07] K2
    You stand little chance as a malison
    cleanser if this is already taxing you.
[03:11] K2
    Now buck up.
    We're proceeding with your training.
[03:16] K2
    Frankly, your obi technique during our
    battle with Kukuri was astonishing.
[03:21] K2
    I had no idea you had such skill.
[03:25] K1
    R-Really?
[03:26] K2
    So now let's see you demonstrate it again.
[03:30] K2
    First, the Shield Weave.
[03:32] K1
    Okay.
[03:34] K1
    Shield Weave!
[03:38] K2
    What are you doing?!
    Put some willpower in it!
[03:41] K2
    And you need two obi for the Shield Weave!
[03:44] K2
    Project them!
[03:45] K1
    Uh... Well...
[03:49] K1
    How?
[03:56] K2
    Unable to project, much less use
    a single obi with any skill.
[04:01] K2
    What was that mastery you
    displayed fighting Kukuri, then?
[04:04] K1
    I-I'm not really sure... myself...
[04:09] K2
    We will return home for today.
[04:11] K1
    Thank goodness!
[04:12] K2
    You will, of course, carry me back running.
[04:19] K2
    Now then, listen closely, Kazuya.
[04:23] K2
    First, you need to understand
    the nature of myself, the tsugumomo.
[04:27] K2
    One must know a tool to use it.
[04:30] K2
    Obvious, yes?
[04:32] K1
    I see.
[04:33] K2
    Tsugumomo are generally
    able to take human forms.
[04:36] K2
    Do you understand why?
[04:38] K1
    Let's see... To interact with people
    and talk to them?
[04:42] K2
    Wrong!
[04:44] K2
    For the most part,
    we tsugumomo are human tools.
[04:48] K2
    Without a wielder, the amount of
    power we can exercise is greatly limited!
[04:54] K1
    I get it...
[04:55] K1
    This lets you operate independently,
    without your owner around.
[04:58] K2
    Precisely.
[05:00] K2
    However, the human form has its limitations.
[05:09] K2
    How would you describe my body, Kazuya?
[05:13] K1
    I-It's small and soft and w-warm...
[05:17] K2
    Right. Tsukumogami or not,
    when in human form,
[05:21] K2
    there is little that makes
    us different from one.
[05:24] K2
    We have skin, muscles, bones, and entrails.
[05:30] K2
    Which is to say, injuries that would kill
    a human are equally fatal
[05:34] K2
    to tsukumogami in human form.
[05:37] K2
    Similarly, if I am damaged
    beyond repair as an obi,
[05:41] K2
    it would surely be fatal.
[05:44] K1
    I can understand the limits you have
    as a human, but what about as an obi?
[05:48] K2
    I suppose I've never tested the limits...
[05:52] K2
    But I can recover from minor cuts
    and tears with relative ease.
[05:56] K1
    Wow...
[05:57] K2
    By the way, Kazuya...
[05:59] K1
    What?
[06:00] K2
    I see you're equally happy with this form.
[06:04] K1
    It's just a physiological reaction!
[06:10] K2
    Vex me though it may,
    tsukumogami cannot exist without humans.
[06:14] K2
    The power to sustain
    our existence as tsukumogami
[06:17] K2
    comes from our bonds with our owners.
[06:20] K2
    Until our battle at the shrine,
    I had not accepted you as my owner.
[06:25] K2
    After spending what power I had stored,
[06:27] K2
    I had to draw from the very power sustaining
    my existence, leaving me like this.
[06:32] K2
    Kukuri's reversion to that youthful form
[06:35] K2
    is likely proof her power has waned as well.
[06:37] K1
    I see.
[06:40] K2
    There is still much to explain,
[06:42] K2
    but first, I'll train you in
    the obi techniques you can handle now.
[06:50] K3
    Say what?!
[06:52] K3
    Whaddya mean ya couldn't
    get no more money?!
[06:55] K4
    I suppose it simply means that modern
    people lack faith in the divine.
[06:59] Carpenters
    You've got to work with us here, Kukuri-chan.
[07:01] Carpenters
    We can't fix the shrine up without money.
[07:05] K3
    But... But I'm the god
    of this region, y'know?
[07:10] K3
    Ain't there anythin' you can do?
[07:14] Carpenters
    Well... for now,
[07:16] Carpenters
    we've at least put some
    stopgap measures in place.
[07:19] Carpenters
    Give us a call once you've got the cash!
[07:21] K3
    All of you, get back here!
[07:27] K4
    I was hoping the carpentry tool tsugumomo
    would be of more help.
[07:30] K3
    Whatta buncha ingrates!
[07:32] K4
    We'll simply need to endure
    this state of affairs for now.
[07:46] K1
    I did it!
[07:48] K2
    Too slow! Too sloppy!
[07:51] K2
    Like this!
[07:53] K1
    Okay...
[07:55] K2
    Go on, once more.
[07:57] K1
    Fine...
[08:07] K3
    I did it!
[08:09] K4
    Too slow. And too sloppy, I'm afraid.
[08:12] K4
    I doubt it would pass muster.
[08:16] K4
    Like this.
[08:19] K4
    It's started to rain harder.
[08:22] K3
    It sure has.
[08:28] K2
    Got it! This time, the pudding is mine!
[08:30] K1
    Hey, you used both hands!
[08:32] K2
    H-How dare you?!
[08:39] K3
    It ain't gonna hold!
[08:41] K4
    Hang in there! If we can just get
    this board in place, we should—
[08:52] K1
    Shoot!
[08:54] K1
    Is something wrong?
[08:57] K2
    I have the feeling something
    most excellent has happened.
[09:04] K3
    My... My shrine...
[09:06] K4
    Please, hold it together.
[09:10] K3
    Where the heck are we gonna live now?
[09:13] K4
    Do not worry. I have a place in mind.
[09:21] K2
    Too close, fool!
[09:23] K2
    Again!
[09:27] K3
    What's this s'posed ta be?
[09:29] K1
    Training his sense of range.
[09:31] K1
    Those who display mastery of
    range are masters in battle!
[09:34] K1
    You must grasp how far the obi will reach!
[09:36] K1
    A distance of one jou and one shaku!
[09:40] K1
    Now you are too far away, you coward!
[09:46] C
    One jou and one shaku is 4.17 meters.
[09:49] C
    By practicing barely avoiding getting hit,
[09:53] C
    he'll learn to grasp his effective range.
[09:56] K3
    Ain't much point in trainin'
    basics now, though, is there?
[10:00] K3
    Considerin' that right big wallop
    ya busted out on me,
[10:03] K3
    do ya really needta go over this?
[10:05] K2
    It seems that was a total fluke.
[10:13] K2
    This is all he can manage now.
[10:15] K2
    We've a long way to go.
[10:18] K3
    Wh-What am I gonna do?!
[10:19] K3
    Have I done screwed the pooch makin'
    Kazuyan the malison cleanser?!
[10:23] K4
    Either way, it's too late now.
[10:27] K3
    W-Well, hang in there!

[13:06] T
    Well, they've taken over the Social Studies
    Research Club's room, which is a problem.

[13:13] T
    came running back

    It's supposed to be right here!
[13:56] O
    Oh? That is odd.
[13:58] O
    I'm certain the Social Studies
    Research Club was here.
[14:02] K2
    Let's see. If this reacts, we can
    be sure an amasogi is involved.
[14:12] K4
    Kukuri-sama, this forecast
    is from two months ago.
[14:15] K3
    What? Oh, crap!
[14:17] K3
    I forgot, I ain't even
    bought the newest volume.
[14:20] K2
    This calls for a retreat, right now!
[14:22] K2
    We're in no shape to deal with this!
[14:24] O
    Could you explain what's going on?
[14:26] K1
    After we get back...
[14:29] T
    What in the world? This was a hallway before!
[14:35] N
    I've been waiting for you, President.
[14:38] T
    You're... Nakajima-kun!
[14:40] T
    Today, you'll be accepting the Tabletop
    RPG Association as an official club,
[14:45] T
    and assigning us a club room.
[14:47] T
    I just need your signature on the form...
[14:49] T
    My answer hasn't changed!
[14:51] T
    You haven't fulfilled all the qualifications!
[14:54] K1
    Tadata-san, could you maybe just
    lie and tell him you agree to—
[14:57] T
    Vacate that club room, now!
[15:00] N
    I thought you'd say that.
[15:02] N
    Well, in that case,
[15:04] N
    it seems we'll have to roll for initiative!
[15:09] N
    My minotaur is complete!
[15:21] K1
    How is this fair?!
[15:23] N
    Work them over gently, minotaur!
[15:29] K1
    How is this gentle?!
[15:31] K1
    Tadata-san, just sign for him!
[15:33] T
    I'm a student council president to the bone!
    I won't negotiate with terrorists!
[15:38] T
    This way, too?
[15:41] T
    The science room is open! Hurry!
[15:46] T
    Let's escape from the veranda!
[15:50] K2
    This is...
[15:52] K2
    The door and windows are
    just drawings! They're fake!
[15:55] K2
    So it was a trap.
[15:59] N
    And you failed your spot check!
[16:04] K2
    It seems we can't simply run, Kazuya!
[16:06] K2
    Think! We're dealing with an amasogi.
[16:09] K2
    Understanding it may be our way out of this!
[16:12] K1
    Uh... Well...
[16:18] K1
    I know!
[16:19] K1
    That sketchbook must be the amasogi,
[16:22] K1
    and it has the power to
    manifest anything drawn in it!
[16:25] K2
    Which means?
[16:27] K1
    If these things were drawn,
    maybe they can be erased!
[16:36] T
    Now!
[16:37] T
    Take this!
[16:42] T
    Trying to wash away my minotaur?!
[16:45] T
    However!
[16:47] T
    It's not enough! My creation
    can easily tank such an attack!
[16:52] T
    In that case...
[16:54] T
    how about this?!
[16:57] N
    A-A fire extinguisher?!
[17:01] N
    It's being whited out!
[17:03] N
    My minotaur!
[17:06] K1
    Now's our chance!
[17:07] T
    Right!
[17:11] K1
    If this is another drawing,
    then I can erase it!
[17:19] K1
    Just barely had enough left.
[17:24] K1
    There's another wall?!
[17:28] N
    I prepared another wall, just in case.
[17:32] N
    Surrender, or get TPK'ed.
[17:35] N
    There's nowhere to run, now!
[17:37] N
    Why don't you just give
    up and sign the paper?
[17:42] O
    Oh? He's redrawn the arm that was lost.
[17:46] O
    But it's shoddy draftsmanship.
    Not likely to be very functional.
[17:51] T
    It doesn't change the fact
    that it's a threat.
[17:54] K2
    So there's one in the hallway too.
[17:57] K1
    A fire extinguisher!
[17:58] K2
    But look where it sits.
[18:02] T
    I've put you three in danger.
[18:04] T
    I'll settle this myself.
[18:07] K1
    Tadata-san didn't do anything wrong.
[18:09] K1
    This happened because
    malison is drawn to me!
[18:13] K1
    Wait, Tadata-san!
[18:16] K1
    You don't need to give in
    to his bullying!
[18:19] T
    But Kagami-kun, we're out of options.
[18:22] K1
    No, we're not.
[18:23] K1
    Kiriha-san!
[18:25] K2
    Aye.

[18:51] K2
    Well done, Kazuya!
[18:55] K1
    Take this!
[19:03] O
    I see.
[19:06] O
    So all of this strange phenomena
[19:08] O
    was caused by a being called an amasogi?
[19:12] O
    And that monster was generated by finishing
    an incomplete drawing in this sketchbook
[19:17] O
    in order to get it to appear.
[19:19] K1
    That's not a toy!
[19:22] O
    Erasing or tearing the drawing
    causes the creations to vanish.
[19:26] O
    A most well-designed item.
[19:28] K2
    Listen, you.
[19:29] N
    Y-Yes?!
[19:30] K2
    When amasogi are destroyed by another,
    their creator suffers a malison atonement.

    Good. And that settles that!

    Are we done for?
[19:59] O
    Not to worry.
[20:02] K1
    Osamu?
[20:04] O
    I have his sketchbook right here.
[20:07] K2
    D-Didn't we have him destroy it?
[20:10] O
    I swapped it out with my own sketchbook,
    suspecting something like this might happen.
[20:15] O
    Now, then, this is a
    simple matter to resolve.
[20:19] O
    I will use this sketchbook...
[20:21] O
    to draw a monster more
    powerful than a minotaur.
[20:29] O
    Check.

    A gal game?

[05:35] K2

[05:39] K2
    Such games involve raising
    your target's affection
[05:41] K2
    in order to enter a romantic relationship.
[05:44] K1
    Oh, I think I borrowed
    one of those from Osamu.

    You play those sorts of
    games too, Kiriha-san?
[05:50] K2
    Aye. They're more enjoyable than I expected.
[05:55] K2
    The game amasogi is likely somewhere
    on the school grounds and running.
[05:59] K2
    Which would mean...
[06:00] K1
    It must be somewhere with a TV.

[15:04] K1
    Kiriha-san, did you find the amasogi?
[15:07] K2
    Afraid not. It was nowhere to be found.
[15:10] K2
    Osamu, is there nothing else
    he can do game-wise?
[15:14] O
    There's only one way to maximize
    her affection level at this point.
[15:20] K1
    Really?!
[15:21] K2
    Why not mention it sooner?!
[15:23] O
    Because relying on standard
    combos was must less risky.
[15:28] O
    This isn't a legitimate method.
[15:30] O
    It's what you might call an exploit.
[15:33] O
    I'm not even sure if it will help,
    in this situation.
[15:36] O
    But we have no other options.
[15:39] K2
    We'll have to take this gamble.
[15:41] K1
    So what do I do?
[15:43] O
    It's known as an NTR combo.
[15:46] K1
    NTR...
[15:50] O
    Even though it's referred to as a
    combo, you only have one chance.
[15:54] O
    After school, when normally
    the only option is to confess,
[15:57] O
    there is a certain sequence of inputs
    that will trigger a conversation event.

    No one wants to hear from you now.
[17:01] C
    That's right, Kagami-kun. Please leave.
[17:07] H
    I'm guessing you're trying
    to pull an NTR combo.
[17:11] H
    Did you think I wouldn't know about that?
[17:14] H
    So what if you can bypass the score limit?
[17:15] H
    There's no way you can turn
    this around with a single line!

[12:37] T
    So, Kukuri-chan, did you come
    to borrow some more money?
[12:42] K3
    Yeah...
[12:43] K3
    I know I ain't paid you back for
    last time yet, and I'm sorry...
[12:47] T
    Oh, it's perfectly fine!
[12:49] T
    In that case,

    we can do this the usual way.
[12:56] T
    Here we are.
[12:58] K1
    Are we playing Concentration?

    That's right! Let's have some fun.

    It's the smooching and fondling
    I'm concerned about!

    I had to keep that secret

    We just gotta grab all the cards!

    Well obviously, but...

    Blast it, I suppose we've no choice.
[15:10] T
    Aw. It's your turn next, Kukuri-chan.
[15:13] T
    Hurry up, please.
[15:16] K3

    the other Ear Nibbling card is!
[15:28] K3
    Y-You're right. I can't be losin' my focus.
[15:32] K3
    Gotta sharpen my senses...
[15:34] K3

    I certainly hope I can get a pair.

    A new card... That's a relief.
[15:54] K2
    Good.
[15:55] K2
    Next round, we'll strip the table bare!

    However, when it came to this game,

    ...a goddess.
[16:09] T
    Now then...
[16:11] T
    Who do I choose?
[16:14] T
    Do I go for the lips of Kiriha-chan,
[16:16] T
    whose cute button mouth conceals
    dangerous-looking fangs?
[16:19] T
    Or Kukuri-chan, whose lips are as
    dewy as a flowers in the morning?
[16:26] T
    I know.
[16:37] T
    Thanks for that! Now, let's continue.
[16:41] K1
    There's no telling what kind of
    horrors the other cards have!
[16:45] Not-Tachiki
    Luckily, Taguri's first turn
    ended with her next attempt.
[16:49] Not-Tachiki
    But on her second turn,
    Taguri scored the Candy Stick Game.

SIGN    Psst...
[17:39] Sign
    And I know just where the cards are.
SIGN    Psst...
[17:42] K3
    This is bad. Real bad!
[17:44] K2
    At this rate all the remaining
    cards will be Taguri's.
[17:48] K1
    Huh? Why?
[17:49] Not-Tachiki
    Allow me to explain.
[17:51] Not-Tachiki
    Only one card remains unflipped
    from the previous rounds of play.
[17:55] Not-Tachiki
    It's possible to ascertain which
    card this is from the others.
[18:00] Not-Tachiki
    Which means that, if she makes no mistakes,
[18:02] Not-Tachiki
    Taguri can take the remaining
    cards with her next turn.
[18:05] Not-Tachiki
    The partner of the card
    that hasn't been touched yet
[18:08] Not-Tachiki
    is this one, isn't it?
SIGN    Full Body Massage
[18:12] Not-Tachiki
    She was correct. Indeed,
    all hope seemed lost.
[18:16] K3
    This is our last chance to make our move!
[18:19] K2
    All right, then!
[18:21] K2
    Say, Taguri...
[18:23] K2
    Wh-Where's the privy?
[18:25] K2
    I can't hold it much longer.
[18:26] K2
    Oh, my. Then I had best tell you.
[18:29] K2
    It's at the end of the hallway.
    Hurry along, now.

    W-Will that actually be enough?
[18:55] K3
    It will! She'll fall for it, no doubt!
[18:58] K2
    Enough! I can clean myself off, fool!
[19:01] T
    No need to be shy, now.
[19:09] K2
    Sheesh...
[19:10] T
    Here we are. Let's continue, shall we?
[19:15] K2
    You better have pulled it off.
[19:17] K3
    Naturally.
[19:22] T
    Oh? The cards have been moved.
SIGN    Psst...

    You sayin' we cheated or somethin'?
[19:34] T
    I'm a god whose domain
    is metals of all kinds...
[19:37] T
    Which means I've memorized
    even the faintest blemishes
[19:40] T
    on the surfaces of these brass playing cards.
[19:43] T
    The fingerprints on a card that
    Kukuri-chan flipped before are gone,
[19:47] T
    yet a card that hasn't been
    touched before has them.
[19:51] K2
    That's a false accusation!
[19:52] K3
    We ain't moved no cards!
[19:55] T
    Then, instead of the
    card that hasn't been touched,
[19:58] T
    let's check this one.
[20:01] T
    And if this card has been swapped
    with "Full Body Massage"
[20:05] T
    you two won't mind spending
    the night, will you?

    Wh-What in the world?!

    That can't be!
[20:26] T
    The cards are in the same position?
[20:29] T
    I see!
[20:30] T
    To make it seem like they were swapped,
[20:33] T
    they removed the fingerprints
    on Nipple Rubby
[20:35] T
    and put them on the untouched
    Full Body Massage!
[20:40] K2
    When you played Kukuri before,
[20:42] K2
    she realized that you were
    reading the fingerprints!
[20:45] K3
    And there you have it!
[20:49] T
    I guess you've seen through me.
[20:53] T
    But the thing is...
SIGN    Prohibited
    Do not touch cards
    if it isn't your turn.
[21:01] Not Tachiki
    "Do not touch cards if it isn't your turn."
[21:04] T
    It's against the rules to touch
    the cards when it's not your turn.
[21:08] T
    When that happens, the rest of the
    cards belong to your opponent.
[21:15] Not-Tachiki
    Behold the might of Kanayama Taguri.
[21:17] Not-Tachiki
    None can outmaneuver her in this game!
[21:20] K3
    No!
[21:21] K3
    No way!

    Now...
[21:24] T
    I hope you two are ready!

    Popularity...
[12:36] C
    They're acting strange.
[12:38] K1
    Is the amasogi causing this, too?
[12:41] K2
    The desire that spawned the amasogi
    likely resonates too strongly with them.
[12:45] Guys
    Give it up!
[12:46] K2
    They're not in their right minds.

    Two months ago, it was

    A month ago it was the first-years

    Goodbye.

    She seemed to know all about me.

[16:31] K2
    If we get any closer, it could affect us.

    Now then.
[18:09] K1
    What do I do with this?
    I brought it along without thinking.
[18:12] K1
    I should've made him

    I guess I can ask him tomorrow.

[19:10] K3
    No need to thank us!
[19:12] K4
    Now, Kazuya... Let's clean off together.
[19:15] K3
    Y'know, Kazuyan, if ya rub bodies

[19:28] K2
    No, he belongs to me!
[19:31] K1
    This just got even more complicated!
[19:34] K6
    You've gotten so big, Ya-kun...
[19:42] K4
    What's the matter? You're so stiff.
[19:48] K3
    Does that feel good, Kazuyan?
[19:52] K3
    Does it?
[19:55] K2
    Say, now, what's the matter?
[19:59] K2
    Surely you can handle more.
[20:05] C
    Kazuya-kun, that tickles.
[20:08] K4
    We can put it between mine, like this...
[20:11] C
    It's twitching so much.
[20:15] K6
    Look at all that!
[20:17] K3
    But Kazuyan's still rock hard.
[20:21] C
    It's so warm, Kazuya-kun...
[20:23] K2
    Well, let me try this time.

    Does it feel good?

[03:15] T
    Come right on—
[03:19] K1
    A-Are you okay?!
[03:26] T
    Pardon me. Took a bit of a spill.
[03:33] T
    Now, have a seat.
[03:34] K1
    Whoa, hang on! Don't try and brush that off!
[03:37] K2
    I can explain.
[03:39] K1
    You can, Kiriha-san?
[03:43] K2
    Tadataka's hair has fallen out
    due to malison atonement.
[03:49] K2
    Tadataka's desires created a pseudo-kamioni,
    which I destroyed.
[03:55] K2
    An amasogi goes peacefully if it fulfills
    its desire or is destroyed by its host,
[04:01] K2
    but when destroyed by another,
    causes malison atonement.
[04:05] T
    As such, I'm smooth as a baby, head to toe.
[04:08] C
    Y-You mean, if my amasogi
    had been destroyed...
[04:13] C
    Good morning!
[04:17] K2
    Don't jump to conclusions.
[04:19] K2
    The atonement depends on
    the nature of the amasogi.
[04:22] K2
    For the record, the more
    powerful the amasogi,
[04:25] K2
    the greater the atonement.
[04:26] O
    I see...
[04:28] T
    Apparently I won't be stuck
    this way, at least.
[04:32] T
    So I'm going to just be patient.
[04:35] T
    Now, let's get down to business.
[04:53] T
    And that's the gist of it.
[04:55] T
    When former Class 1-5 students are alone,
[04:58] T
    this girl appears to them,
    seemingly demanding something.
SIGN    Nago Eiko
[05:03] K1
    That's what you needed us for?
[05:05] K2
    How asinine.
[05:06] K2
    Simply warn the girl to stop lurking
    about and be done with it.
[05:10] T
    Well, there was something
    I forgot to mention...
[05:13] T
    That girl, Nago Eiko,
[05:17] T
    died two years ago.
[05:22] T
    And so, I would like you
    all to investigate this.
[05:26] K1
    Wh-Why us?
[05:28] K2
    Who else? To my knowledge,
    ghosts don't exist.
[05:32] K2
    Which means this girl's presence
    is likely an amasogi at work.
[05:37] K2
    It makes sense that we would look into it.
[05:39] O
    We should start by asking around, then.
[05:42] K2
    Aye.
[05:46] Students
    She jumped in the evening, I heard.
[05:48] Students
    Also, there was no suicide note.
[05:52] Students
    She was quiet, and never really stood out.
[05:55] Students
    But a little bit before she died,
[05:57] Students
    she suddenly became more lively and cheerful.
[06:00] Students
    I wonder if that was what
    she was really like?
[06:03] Students
    She was in a fan club for this
    one boy named Nishina Yuuichi.
[06:08] Students
    And I also heard she had a little sister
    who was all smart and athletic.
[06:13] Students
    Again? How many times are
    people gonna drag this up?
[06:17] O
    Again?
[06:17] Student
    I think her name was Nanakai?
[06:19] Student
    Some first-year in the newspaper
    club who keeps digging into it.
[06:23] Student
    Can't people just let us forget about it?
[06:25] ---
    Hmm...
[06:27] O
    That covers what we were able to gather.
[06:30] C
    We could use more clues.
[06:33] T
    It'd be worth looking into
    the Nishina Yuuichi fan club.
[06:36] T
    That, and talking to Nanakai
    Nanako from the newspaper club.
[06:40] N
    Please wait, Kosakabe-san!
[06:43] N
    Please, I need to know what really happened!
[06:46] K4
    I quit the fan club already,
    so I have no idea!
[06:50] N
    Anything will do! Please, just talk to me!

[07:19] N
    Don't you all agree?
[07:21] K1
    W-Well...
[07:23] O
    Were you speaking with someone
    from the Nishina Yuuichi fan club just now?
[07:27] N
    Yeah, I was hoping she'd have a lead...

    And the obi turns into a girl?!
[08:39] O

SIGN    Nurse's Office
[08:45] K2
    This amasogi is a kamioni.
[08:47] K2
    A dangerous foe born from regrets that
    linger in the hair of the deceased.
[08:52] K1
    It's different from Tadata-san's, then?
[08:55] K2
    He was still alive, and the
    hair wasn't real, either.
[09:00] K2
    It was what you might call a pseudo-kamioni.
[09:04] C
    If it's an amasogi,
    it must have a host somewhere, right?
[09:08] K2
    Right.
[09:09] K2
    A living human whose wishes resonate
    with the deceased's regrets.
[09:13] K1
    And if we exorcise it by force,
[09:16] K1
    the host will suffer malison atonement?
[09:18] K2
    Aye. It must have some
    kind of goal it's after.
[09:23] K2
    And if it's revenge,
    we'll need to prevent it.
[09:27] K2
    You heard all that, didn't you, Kosakabe?
[09:30] ---
    Tell us anything and everything you know.
[09:37] K4
    Okay...
[09:40] K4
    It was shortly after we entered this school.
[09:42] K4
    There was this boy in our class
    who was really cute.
[09:45] K4
    Us girls who were in to him
    would fawn over him together.
[09:49] K4
    That was the Nishina Yuuichi Fan Club.
[09:52] K4
    We got along well on the understanding
    that we'd share him.
[09:56] K4
    But then, Nishina-kun took
    an interest in Nago-san...
[10:01] K4
    After that, things got awkward.
[10:04] K4
    It was too much for me, so I left the group.
[10:07] K4
    I can't say for sure, but I think
    Nago-san might have been bullied.
[10:13] K4
    Muratsuki-san was the leader.

    Actually, I think she was the first
    one to discover the body, too.

[10:31] C
    There's a good chance the
    amasogi will visit them, too.
[10:35] K1
    Nanakai-san said she'd look into that, too.
[10:42] T
    Come in.

    Excuse me.

    President, I have the
    details you asked about.
[10:48] T
    Thank you! What did you find?
[10:50] Secretary
    It looks like Nago-san's sister is
    actually enrolled here.
[10:55] T
    That's odd.
[10:57] T
    I have the student roster memorized,
    and there's no other Nago in it.
[11:01] Secretary
    That's the thing.

[11:06] Secretary
    Now she goes by...
[11:14] K2
    Hurry, Kazuya! Weave it like I told you!
[11:17] K1
    Uh... Obi Wheels?
[11:22] Girl
    Gah!
[11:42] N
    Tsu-gu-mo-mo!
[11:47] NN
    Tsugumomo.
[11:51] M
    St-Stay away!
[11:57] NN
    Where is the letter?
[12:00] M
    I-I don't know!
[12:02] M
    I know nothing about any suicide note!
[12:04] K1
    Hold it right there!
[12:12] K1
    I'm glad we made it.
[12:14] K1
    I know you're somewhere around here!
[12:16] K1
    Come on out...
[12:18] K1
    Nanakai Nanako-san!
[12:20] K1
    No...
[12:22] K1
    Nago Nanako-san!
[12:24] N
    I guess you figured it out.
[12:29] K1
    Why are you doing this?
[12:30] N
    I just wanted to know why
    my sister took her own life.
[12:42] N
    So when, as if responding to my wish,
    that lock of my sister's hair took her form,
[12:47] N
    I thought I could use it
    to find out the truth.
[12:52] K2
    Strange...
[12:54] K2
    Kamioni are born when the deceased's
    regrets resonate with the host's desires.
[12:59] K2
    But it's not like her sister wished
    to know why she killed herself.
[13:02] K1
    So what's that mean?
[13:03] K2
    Something else is going on here.
[13:05] K2
    Some other link between the younger's
    wishes and the elder's regrets.
[13:10] K2
    What's this letter, then?
[13:12] N
    It's the only thing this mindless version
    of my sister has said on her own.
[13:18] N
    Muratsuki-san...
[13:20] N
    If you knew the letter was a suicide note,
    surely you know more.
[13:25] N
    Like where it is.
[13:26] K1
    Note?
[13:29] M
    They should've just gotten together!
[13:33] M
    They both liked each other...
[13:36] M
    But, not wanting to betray us,
    Nago-san started to avoid Nishina-kun
[13:42] M
    So we started harassing her
    to make her leave the club.
[13:45] M
    I'm sorry...
[13:47] M
    We couldn't put aside our jealousy
    and encourage their relationship.
[13:51] N
    Then my sister killed herself because
    she couldn't take the bullying?
[13:54] M
    That can't be it!
[13:57] M
    The day she died, she...
[13:59] M
    She really let us have it.
    Everything she'd been bottling up inside.
[14:04] M
    She seemed so different.
[14:07] M
    Then she left, saying she was going to
    tell Nishina-kun how she felt.
[14:12] M
    When I saw her headed towards
    the roof after school...
[14:17] M
    I hesitated, but decided
    to go after her and apologize...
[14:23] M
    All that was left were
    her shoes and a letter...
[14:26] M
    A suicide note!
[14:29] N
    Why did you hide it?
[14:30] M
    Why wouldn't I?!
[14:32] M
    Just think about it!
[14:34] M
    What if she'd named names
    and blamed us for her suicide in it?
[14:39] M
    I was so scared...
[14:40] M
    I couldn't bring myself to
    read it, or get rid of it...
[14:44] K1
    Then you still have it?
[14:46] M
    Yes...
[14:47] M
    I'm sorry.
[14:48] M
    I'll bring it right away.
[14:55] N
    "Nanako-chan, by the time you read this,
    I will probably already be gone."
[15:02] NN
    I'm a filthy person.
[15:05] NN
    I may seem quiet, but there were dark
    sentiments swirling around inside of me.
[15:11] NN
    I couldn't ask out the boy I liked.
[15:14] NN
    I couldn't stand up for myself to bullies.
[15:16] NN
    I didn't have the courage to speak
    my feelings, or to act on them.
[15:22] NN
    I was finally starting to get
    fed up with myself...
[15:26] NN
    when the growth appeared.
[15:29] NN
    It got bigger and uglier
    with each passing day
[15:32] NN
    until it resembled a human face.
[15:37] NN
    Unable to turn to anyone,
    I was terrified and suffering.
[15:42] NN
    But then...
[15:43] (Flashback) Student
    You didn't prepare these documents?
[15:45] (Flashback) NN
    I'm sorry...
[15:46] (Flashback) Student
    What do you expect us to do now?!
[15:48] (Flashback) NN
    I'm sor—
[15:48] (Flashback) NN
    Cry me a river, hypocrite!
[15:51] (Flashback) NN
    Sure, give yourself the easy jobs!
[15:53] (Flashback) NN
    Then dump a team's work on me!
[15:55] Eiko
    The growth would say the things
    that I felt deep inside.
[15:55] (Flashback) (Student
    R-Right...
[16:00] Eiko
    After that, my life began to change.
[16:03] Eiko
    I started speaking frankly and
    stopped caring what others thought.
[16:08] Eiko
    The growth said that it would go
    away once my wish was fulfilled.
[16:13] Eiko
    And I thought my wish
    could only be one thing...
[16:17] Eiko
    To tell him how I felt.
[16:21] Eiko
    He said he'd go out with me.
    I felt like I could fly!
[16:26] Eiko
    But... the growth said my
    wish wasn't granted yet.
[16:31] Eiko
    That it had to prevent someone
    from stealing Nishina-kun from me.
[16:36] Eiko
    Someone who was cuter than me,
    more cheerful, smarter, and more athletic—
[16:42] N
    "My little sister"?
[16:46] N/NN
    "The growth says that Nanako-chan
    can't be allowed to live."
[16:50] N/NN
    It says that Nanako-chan will
    steal everything from me...
[16:55] N/NN
    That Nanako-chan is a hindrance.
[16:58] N/NN
    Deep down, that's how I felt
    about you, Nanako-chan.
[17:03] N/NN
    I'm so sorry. I don't think I can
    hold the growth back anymore.
[17:09] N/NN
    But...
[17:10] N/NN
    you're my little sister,
    who means so much to me.
[17:13] N/NN
    And nothing can change
    the fact that I love you.
[17:18] N
    No...
[17:20] N
    Then the reason my sister jumped...
[17:22] N
    was to protect me?
[17:26] N
    Onee-chan! I was the one
    who should have died!
[17:32] K2
    "I should have died."
[17:35] K2
    Then the reason the amasogi
    was looking for the letter...
[17:38] K2
    was to make the younger sister feel that way?
[17:42] ---
    Don't tell me—
[17:45] NN
    Nanako-chan...
[17:47] K2
    Kazuya!
[17:51] K1
    Shield Weave!
[17:55] K1
    Obi Strike!
[18:01] K2
    It's just a projection! Don't worry!
[18:03] K2
    Ready another one!
[18:05] K1
    Right!
[18:08] K1
    Shield Wea—
[18:15] K2
    Kazuya! Are you all right?!
[18:17] K1
    What is this...?
[18:19] K2
    Don't you see?
[18:20] K2
    The amasogi has even recreated
    the elder sister's growth.
[18:24] K2
    The growth wants to achieve the
    goal it failed at two years ago.
[18:30] K2
    And just as it had hoped,
[18:32] K2
    the younger sister's wish for death has
    boosted the kamioni's power to its limit!
[18:43] K2
    Run, Kazuya! You won't
    survive fighting this one!
[18:51] K2
    Kazuya!
[18:52] K1
    I can't run. I can't leave Nanako-san behind.
[18:56] K1
    This only happened because
    malison is drawn to me.
[19:00] K1
    So it's my responsibility to resolve it!
[19:04] K1
    Sledgehammer Weave!
[19:08] K2
    Kazuya, wait!
[19:21] K2
    Shield Weave, two layers!
[19:23] K1
    Double-Woven!
[19:28] K2
    You want to die that badly, fool?!
[19:30] K2
    I suppose I have to humor you, then!
[19:32] K1
    Kiriha-san!
[19:33] K2
    That hair armor will be tough!
[19:35] K2
    Do exactly as I say to breach it!
[19:38] K1
    But... if we destroy it,
    the malison atonement...
[19:41] K2
    This is not a foe to show mercy on!
[19:43] K2
    For now, prioritize keeping Nanako alive!
[19:50] K2
    Kazuya, your weakness is that you take
    too long to weave your next form!
[19:54] K2
    It's time to overcome that handicap!
[19:56] K1
    Right!
[19:58] K1
    Obi Strike!
[20:00] K2
    You need to strike faster!
[20:02] K2
    Too slow! More!
[20:08] K2
    Now!
[20:11] K1
    Spiral Weave!
[20:25] NN
    Nanako-chan...
[20:39] N
    Onee-chan...
[20:45] K2
    Listen, Nanako. Don't misinterpret
    what you just learned.
[20:49] K2
    It's true that the growth was born
    from your sister's darker feelings.
[20:55] K2
    But your sister was willing to
    end her life to restrain it.
[21:00] K2
    She won out over it!
[21:03] K2
    Her love for you was far stronger
    than any fleeting wavering she felt.
[21:09] K2
    So don't wish for your own death anymore,
[21:13] K2
    lest your sister's sacrifice
    have been in vain.
[21:17] K2
    Understand?
[21:19] N
    Yes...
[21:24] K2
    Now then, Kazuya...
[21:26] K2
    Your obi technique today... was not bad.
[21:31] K2
    You have my praise.
[21:33] K1
    Really?
[21:33] K2
    However!
[21:35] K2
    I told you to run, and you defied me!
[21:38] K2
    You fool!
[21:41] K2
    You dare defy your master?!
[21:43] K1
    I-I'm sorry!

[02:52] T
    I see...
[02:53] T
    So a lock of her late sister's
    hair became an amasogi,
[02:56] T
    and the growth that was revived along with it
[02:59] T
    plotted this whole incident.
[03:02] C
    Well, Nanako-chan was okay in the end.
[03:05] K1
    Yeah. I'm glad there was
    no malison atonement.
[03:13] T
    Come in.
[03:19] T
    Nanako-san!
[03:20] K1
    Great timing! We were explaining
    what happened yesterday.
[03:24] T
    Did anything happen since then?
[03:32] Sign
    I can't talk anymore.
[03:34] K1
    Malison atonement?!
[03:36] T
    The result of her amasogi being destroyed...
[03:38] C
    But she was fine yesterday!
[03:40] K1
    Kiriha-san?
[03:42] K2
    Malison atonement does not
    necessarily occur immediately.
[03:45] K1
    I'm so sorry, Nanakai-san.
    If I hadn't destroyed the kamioni...
SIGN    It's my own responsibility.
[03:53] K1
    But...
[03:57] K2
    She's right. Nanako is entirely at fault here.
[04:00] K1
    No one else is responsible.
[04:02] K1
    Kiriha-san! Do you have to put it that way?
[04:05] K2
    We're finished here for today.
SIGN    Kiriha-san's right, you know.

    I still don't think you had to

    Man...
[04:29] S
    Hey!

    Who are you?!
[04:54] K2
    And why are you attacking Kazuya?!
    If you have a reason, let's hear it!

    I have a reason.
[04:59] S
    And the right!
[05:09] K2
    Down here, fool!
[05:24] S
    You don't hit hard enough.
[05:31] K1
    Kiriha-san!
[05:37] S
    Pathetic.
[05:39] S
    And you're supposed to be a malison cleanser?
[05:46] K2
    Don't touch Kazuya, you rampaging shrew!

    so when she did...

[06:45] S
    My name is Sumeragi Sunao.
[06:47] S
    I'm a malison cleanser.
[06:49] S
    My reason is to test your skill.
[06:52] S
    Kagami Kazuya!
[06:53] K1
    Yes?!
[06:54] S
    You're a malison cleanser,
    yet you can't defend yourself?
[06:58] S
    You're not fit to replace Kanaka-sama!
[07:02] K1
    Kanaka-sama?
[07:04] S
    Are you playing dumb?
[07:06] S
    I never would've expected
    Kanaka-sama's son to be this sad!

    Kanaka... My mother...
[07:11] K1
    Huh...?
[07:18] K2
    Girl... How do you know of Kanaka?
[07:22] K2
    I remember! You're—
[07:26] K2
    Where are you going?!
[07:29] S
    Follow me.
[07:30] S
    I'm going to report what happened
    to the local god.
[07:34] K2
    The local god?
[07:36] K1
    Isn't that...?
[07:45] K3
    Kukuri-hime no Ookami has descended!
[07:49] K2
    Have you, now?

[07:54] S
    What are you doing to the goddess?!

    You dare defy your master?!
[08:14] (Flashback) K1
    I-I'm sorry!
[08:16] S
    What's the meaning of this?
[08:18] S
    Why is a clown like that
    using Kanaka-sama's obi?
[08:21] (Flashback) K4
    Sunao-sama...
[08:25] (Flashback) K4
    It can't be!
[08:26] (Flashback) K3
    I'm afraid it is true.
    Kanaka has passed away.
[08:29] (Flashback) K3
    Her obi is currently wielded by him
[08:32] (Flashback) K3
    as part of his duty as malison cleanser.
[08:35] (Flashback) S
    This can't be. Kanaka-sama is...
[08:39] (Flashback) S
    Kukuri-hime-sama, I have a request.
[08:45] S
    And so, I asked permission
[08:46] S
    to test the strength of the malison cleanser
    who had taken Kanaka-sama's position.
[08:54] K3
    And I told her it was a-okay!
[08:56] K3
    Filled her in on what Kazuyan
    and Kiriha have been up to, too!
[09:01] K1
    That's why they knew Kiriha-san
    couldn't project herself.
[09:06] S
    Thank you again, Kukuri-hime-sama.
[09:10] K3
    'Tweren't nothin'!
[09:11] K2
    Oh, it was something.
    Expect your joints to be dislocated later.
[09:16] S
    I must ask, Kukurihime-sama...
[09:19] S
    Since ancient times,
    a region's malison cleanser
[09:22] S
    has been the one person
    most suited to the task.
[09:25] S
    Isn't that right?
[09:26] K3
    Yep! Mighty impressed ya know that.
[09:28] S
    After testing their strength,
    I believe they are not up to the task.
[09:34] S
    That being the case,
    I would like to take their place.
[09:38] S
    And as two parties claim
    the role in this region,
[09:41] S
    there's only one way to settle
    to whom the duty falls.
[09:47] S
    Kagami Kazuya! I challenge you to a duel!
[09:50] K1/K2
    Huh?!
[09:58] S
    Tsugumomo!
[10:04] S
    Tsugumomo.
[10:21] (Flashback) H
    I don't think so.
[10:25] (Flashback) S
    But I must carry out my vendetta
    on my brother's killer!
[10:28] (Flashback) S
    Please, lend me a powerful tsukumogami!
[10:31] (Flashback) S
    I don't care if I lose a few limbs—
[10:33] (Flashback) S
    I don't even care if I die!
[10:36] (Flashback) H
    Know your place, little girl!
[10:38] (Flashback) H
    You're not a tsugumomo's master!
[10:40] (Flashback) H
    And either way,
    you're not a malison cleanser!
[10:43] (Flashback) H
    This was a foe Suou couldn't beat!
[10:47] (Flashback) H
    What makes you think you stand a chance?
[10:51] (Flashback) H
    Listen to me, Sunao.
[10:53] (Flashback) H
    Don't you remember what Suou always said?
[10:56] (Flashback) H
    He wanted you to grow up and
    find happiness like a normal girl.
[11:01] (Flashback) H
    That was why Suou accepted the
    burden of becoming a malison cleanser.
[11:05] (Flashback) H
    He lost his life for that desire!
[11:10] (Flashback) H
    Try and respect that, Sunao.
[11:12] (Flashback) H
    That's the best way you can honor him.
[11:16] (Flashback) H
    Understand?
[11:18] (Flashback) H
    Well, now...
[11:23] (Flashback) K4
    Suou-sama...
[11:26] (Flashback) K4
    It's all because I wasn't strong enough...
[11:29] (Flashback) S
    Hey!
[11:33] (Flashback) K4
    Ow...
[11:35] (Flashback) K4
    What was that for?
[11:38] (Flashback) S
    How long are you going to blubber,
     you worthless baby?!
[11:41] (Flashback) S
    I'm going to use you!
[11:45] (Flashback) S
    My brother would always say
    how amazing you were, Kotetsu.
[11:49] (Flashback) S
    How he could rely on you!
[11:51] (Flashback) S
    But now he's dead!
[11:54] (Flashback) S
    And all because you were too weak!
[11:56] (Flashback) S
    He lost because his tool was flawed!
[12:00] (Flashback) S
    Well, be grateful, because I'm
    going to use you anyway!
[12:04] (Flashback) S
    You may be a loser,
    but you'll help in my vendetta!
[12:12] (Flashback) S
    I don't see it!
[12:14] (Flashback) S
    Are you sure this is where it went?
[12:16] (Flashback) K4
    I'm sorry...
[12:17] (Flashback) K4
    It should be around here...
[12:20] (Flashback) S
    Did it run? Should I keep going?
[12:22] (Flashback) K4
    We're nearly in Kamioka.
[12:24] (Flashback) K4
    If it escaped into Kamioka,
    then that region's malison cleanser—
[12:28] (Flashback) S
    They'll get it instead?! Not on my watch!
[12:31] (Flashback) K4
    What?! But—
[12:34] (Flashback) K4
    I sense it! The same presence as before!
[12:37] S
    The object of my vendetta is ahead.
    It's time to avenge my brother!
[12:43] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spiral Weave!<br>**[12:59] (Flashback) K2**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm covered in blood!<br>**[13:00] (Flashback) K2**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Could you not have done a cleaner job of it?!<br>**[13:03] (Flashback) K
    My bad, my bad. Got a bit carried away,
    having a challenge for once.
[13:07] (Flashback) S
    My vendetta...
[13:09] (Flashback) S
    It's dead... Killed...
[13:13] (Flashback) S
    My brother's killer...
[13:15] (Flashback) S
    I was supposed to avenge him!
[13:19] (Flashback) S
    But she...
[13:26] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hey. Yoo-hoo!<br>**[13:30] (Flashback) K
    Oh, you're awake.
[13:32] (Flashback) S
    Huh? I...
[13:35] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry about that! You really went flying.<br>**[13:38] (Flashback) K
    Come on, that was mean, Kiriha-chan.
[13:41] (Flashback) K2
    After she ran out of the bushes brandishing
    a sword tsukumogami at you?
[13:45] (Flashback) K2
    Why would I show mercy?
[13:46] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's no excuse!<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You still need to take it easy.<br>**[13:50] (Flashback) K
    Now then, do you mind if
    I ask what this is about?
[14:00] (Flashback) S
    You fool.
[14:02] (Flashback) S
    A complete amateur like you
    had no hope against this thing.
[14:05] (Flashback) S
    Isn't that right, Kanaka?
[14:09] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You poor thing!<br>**[14:10] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You poor little darling!<br>**[14:14] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You...<br>**[14:15] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You killed my brother's killer!<br>**[14:18] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which means...<br>**[14:20] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you're now the object of my vendetta!<br>**[14:24] (Flashback) ---**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Huh?<br>**[14:25] (Flashback) K2**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, hold on.<br>**[14:27] (Flashback) K2**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shouldn't you be grateful to the person<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who put an end to your vendetta?<br>**[14:31] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No! It should have been mine!<br>**[14:33] (Flashback) K2**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exactly what sense does that make?<br>**[14:35] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because... Because...<br>**[14:37] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to take vengeance on *someone*!<br>**[14:40] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How can he rest in peace if I don't?!<br>**[14:42] (Flashback) S**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So my vendetta's against you! I'll beat you!<br>**[14:47] (Flashback) K
    Okay, then! You can have
    your vendetta with me.
[14:50] (Flashback) K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll take you on.<br>**[14:53] (Flashback) K
    I'll be waiting, then!
[14:57] (Flashback) K2
    What in the world are you
    thinking, you fool?!
[14:59] (Flashback) K`
    Come on! I felt bad for her.
[15:06] (Flashback) S
    Got it!
[15:08] S
    After that, I challenged
    Kanaka-sama many times,
[15:12] S
    but I never stood a chance.
[15:14] S
    To strengthen my fundamentals, I entered
    the malison cleanser school Tsuzuraden,
[15:19] S
    where I've been training.
[15:21] S
    But when I returned to Kamioka,
    Kanaka-sama was gone,
[15:26] S
    a half-baked obi wielder in her stead.
[15:28] S
    My vendetta was with Kanaka-sama!
[15:30] S
    At the same time, she was
    my master whom I admired!
[15:32] S
    You are not fit to follow in her footsteps!
[15:35] S
    I will defeat you, and become
    Kanaka-sama's replacement!
[15:41] K2
    Don't get too full of yourself, warthog girl!
[15:43] S
    Quiet, tool.
[15:47] S
    Kagami Kazuya, you will accept my challenge.
[15:51] K2
    Very well, then! Right, Kazuya?
[16:03] K2
    Get up Kazuya. It's time to train.
[16:09] K1
    Nope.
[16:10] K2
    Huh? Why not?
[16:12] K1
    Lots of reasons.
[16:13] K2
    You'll let that girl get away
    with all she said?
[16:16] K2
    You fool!
[16:23] K2
    Explain yourself.
[16:25] K1
    I mean...
[16:27] K1
    Tadata-san lost his hair...
[16:30] K1
    And Nanakai-san can't talk anymore...
[16:32] K1
    It's all because I attract malison, isn't it?
[16:36] K1
    If I go outside, more things
    like that will happen.
[16:40] K1
    Wouldn't the world be better off without me?
[16:45] K1
    So I won't leave.
[16:46] K2
    What of school?
[16:47] K1
    Won't go.
[16:48] K2
    And food?
[16:49] K1
    My sister will bring it to me.
[16:52] K2
    What about malison cleansing?
[16:53] K1
    Had enough.
[16:55] K2
    Have you?
[16:57] K2
    Was it not you who said the malison
    you attract was your own responsibility?
[17:04] K1
    Sumeragi-san says she wants to do it instead.
[17:07] K1
    So let her.
[17:08] K2
    And you'll just live life
    hidden away in here?
[17:12] K1
    That's right. If that's
    what's best for everyone,
[17:15] K1
    then it's fine by me.
[17:20] K2
    Clothes off, now!
[17:31] K1
    Kiriha-san, why are we naked?
[17:34] K1
    I don't get it.
[17:37] K2
    You do.
[17:40] K2
    This makes you feel at ease, doesn't it?
[17:47] K2
    Do you really think this solves
    anything, Kazuya?
[17:51] K2
    Is this because you don't
    want to cause others trouble?
[17:54] K2
    Are you sure it's not just
    that you want to run away?
[17:57] K1
    That's not it...
[17:59] K2
    You could end up fighting
    even more fearsome amasogi.
[18:02] K2
    You might have to witness someone
    else suffer malison atonement.
[18:07] K2
    And you want to escape that fate.
[18:09] K1
    That's not it!
[18:11] K1
    People have to suffer because of me.
[18:15] K1
    Even you must think it's
    a pain to deal with me, Kiriha-san.
[18:20] K2
    You absolute fool!
[18:24] K2
    When have I ever called you
    troublesome or burdensome?!
[18:30] K2
    Listen to me!
[18:31] K2
    Even if you were a toxic-cloud-spewing
    blight upon all of creation,
[18:37] K2
    I alone would still stand by you!
[18:39] K2
    Cause all the trouble you want!
[18:42] K2
    If that's the price of your existence,
    the rest of the world can pay it!
[18:46] K2
    I will allow it!
[18:47] K2
    And if your heart pains, then I'll soothe it!
[18:51] K2
    And if the pain is still too much,
[18:52] K2
    then put an end to it,
    as a malison cleanser!
[18:55] K2
    You will always have my aid!
[18:57] K1
    Kiriha-san...
[18:58] K2
    Men, spirits, even gods...
    We all aid and rely on others to live.
[19:04] K2
    I wouldn't be able to maintain this form
    if you weren't here to wield me.
[19:09] K2
    Understand, Kazuya?
[19:11] K2
    You needn't be the exception to that rule.
[19:15] K2
    Don't think you'd be better off dead.
[19:19] K2
    I... Well, I...
[19:22] K2
    I'd...
[19:26] K2
    I'd be lonely if you were gone.
[19:34] K1
    Okay.
[19:35] K1
    I'll do my best as a malison cleanser.
[19:52] K2
    It's cold!
[19:54] K1
    Why did you grow all of a sudden?!
[19:57] K2
    You're one to talk, considering.
[19:59] K1
    No!
[20:01] K2
    There were signs, mind you.
[20:03] K2
    I was finally able to project myself
    yesterday. It's not that strange.
[20:08] K2
    Now, then, Kazuya...
[20:10] K2
    Do you remember what Sunao said?
[20:14] K1
    Yeah...
[20:16] (Flashback) S
    I also have a ranged slashing attack.
[20:21] (Flashback) S
    Empty Blade.
[20:23] (Flashback) S
    An earth-channeled strike.
[20:25] (Flashback) S
    Ground Tracer.
[20:27] (Flashback) S
    That about covers it.
[20:29] (Flashback) K1
    Why show me all your techniques?
[20:32] (Flashback) K2
    That confident, are you?
[20:33] (Flashback) S
    I've seen Kanaka-sama's
    techniques many times.
[20:36] (Flashback) S
    It's only fair.
[20:38] (Flashback) S
    You have a week. Try and come
    up with a plan in the meantime.
[20:44] K1
    I've never seen such confidence.
[20:46] K2
    Aye.
[20:47] K2
    In both wielder skill and
    the tsukumogami match-up,
[20:50] K2
    they have the upper hand.
[20:52] K2
    Well, Kazuya?
    They clearly have the advantage.
[20:59] K1
    But I can't just give up.
[21:02] K2
    Well said!
[21:05] K2
    Let's make this interesting, then!
[21:07] K2
    If you win, I'll give you a reward.
[21:11] K2
    What would you like me to do?
[21:14] K1
    Uh... Um...
[21:17] K5
    Ya-kun, it's morning!
[21:19] K3
    Up'n at 'em!
[21:22] K5
    What do you think you're doing?!
[21:24] K3
    That ain't right, Kiriha!
[21:25] K2
    What is it with you two?!
[21:27] K5
    I will not allow this!
[21:29] K3
    How far did y'all get?!
[21:31] K2
    Enough! Let me go!
[21:33] K3
    It was just the two of you, wasn't it?!
[21:34] K5
    Give up already!
[21:36] K1
    Thank you, Kiriha-san.
[21:38] K2
    Let me go, blast it!
[21:39] K3
    So was he... inside?!
[21:41] K2
    Indeed he was! Inside the futon.
[21:43] K5
    Ya-kun! How could you do this
    when you have me?!
[21:46] K1
    You've got it all wrong!
[21:47] K3
    So how was he?!

[00:02] K2
    You haven't forgotten, have you?
[00:08] K2
    The obi's range is...
[00:13] K2
    One jou and one shaku.
[00:16] K2
    It seems your body remembers, at least.
[00:19] K1
    Sure does.
[00:21] K2
    The issue is our opponent's range.
[00:25] K2
    Sunao's weapon is a sword...
SIGN    1 Ken
[00:29] K2
    Which makes her range at most a single ken.
[00:32] Sign
    Conversely, our obi's reach is
     one jou and one shaku.
SIGN    One Jou One Shaku
[00:35] Sign
    Normally, that would mean we could
    attack from outside a sword's range.
[00:40] Sign
    However...
[00:42] K1
    Empty Blade and...
[00:43] K1
    Ground Tracer.
[00:45] K2
    Precisely.
SIGN    4 Ken
[00:46] K2
    I'd estimate they have a range of four ken.
[00:49] Sign
    Which gives them the reach advantage.
[00:52] Sign
    There's also how the tsukumogami match up.
[00:55] Sign
    I'm an obi tsukumogami.
[00:57] Sign
    While an average blade can't damage me much,
[01:00] Sign
    a sword tsukumogami
    is a different matter.
[01:05] Sign
    A sword's blade can tear right through silk.
[01:07] Sign
    That doesn't change, even if
    both objects are tsukumogami.
[01:12] C
    So they have the upper hand on us
[01:14] C
    with reach at medium range and
    a well-matched tsukumogami up close.
[01:17] C
    Does that sum it up?
[01:19] K2
    Yes.
[01:21] K2
    However, we have plans.
[01:33] H
    Nice, strong strikes.
[01:43] H
    Well done.
[01:45] S
    Thank you for sparring with me.
[01:47] H
    No prob. It was a nice workout.
[01:50] H
    So, whadya make of your odds?
[01:53] S
    I have absolutely no chance of losing.
[01:57] S
    Their limited skill was clear
    from our previous spar.
[02:01] S
    What's more, my training with Kanaka-sama
    has taught me most of the obi's techniques.
[02:07] S
    Whatever plan they might
    come up with during this week
[02:10] S
    will be no match for my might.
[02:14] H
    Same attitude as ever.
[02:16] T
    Excuse me... May I mention something?
[02:19] S
    What?
[02:20] S
    I'm in the middle of
    speaking with Honoka-sama.
[02:23] T
    I-I'm sorry... But...
[02:26] H
    And strict with your tsugumomo as ever, too.
[02:29] H
    What's up, Kotetsu?
[02:31] H
    Go ahead.
[02:32] K
    Right!
[02:35] K
    While he pales in comparison to Sunao-sama,
    Kagami Kazuya is still a malison cleanser.
[02:39] K
    He must have passed the qualification test.
[02:42] K
    It may be unwise
    to underestimate him...
[02:44] S
    Are you saying I'm too cocky?!
[02:47] K
    I'm sorry!
[02:49] S
    Their local god,
    Kukuri-sama, is a water goddess.
[02:53] S
    She would have tested Kagami Kazuya
    with her water powers.
[02:57] S
    That obi tsukumogami has
    always excelled in defense.
[03:01] S
    They most likely defended with a Wall Weave.
[03:04] S
    However, Wall Weave's weakness
    is that it renders the user immobile.
[03:09] S
    Once he's inside, it'll be easy
    to tear it apart with a sword.
[03:14] S
    I need my tsukumogami to follow
    my orders promptly, and that's it.
[03:19] S
    I don't need a tool giving me opinions.
[03:23] K
    I'm sorry...

    Don't be so prudish!
    You'll make me catch a cold!
[05:27] K2
    Need you still be so embarrassed around me?
[05:30] K1
    This would be embarrassing no matter what.
[05:36] K2
    Now then, Kazuya.
[05:38] K2
    Before the duel I need to tell you something.
[05:43] (Flashback) K3
    Right, you got it.
[05:45] (Flashback) K3
    I'll oversee your duel!
[05:48] (Flashback) K3
    But I can't have either of ya
    gettin' hurt or kickin' the bucket.
[05:52] (Flashback) K3
    And so...
[05:54] (Flashback) K3
    ...we'll use these!
[05:56] (Flashback) K2
    What are these? Adult toys?
[05:58] (Flashback) K3
    Heck no!
[06:02] (Flashback) K3
    These here are water dolls.
[06:05] (Flashback) K3
    We've had duels between folks
    aimin' to be malison cleanser before.
[06:08] (Flashback) K3
    But it warn't like we could allow
    a buncha duels to the death.
[06:12] (Flashback) K3
    These cast a barrier of
    water 'round the fighters,
[06:15] (Flashback) K3
    transferrin' any damage to the doll.
[06:20] (Flashback) K3
    The thing is...
[06:21] K2
    The thing is, the water doll
    only protects the fighters.
[06:26] K2
    Which means Kotetsu and I can be damaged.
[06:31] K2
    However, we also have projections.
[06:35] K2
    My projections are not as
    strong as my real self,
[06:38] K2
    but can be regenerated
    as long as I have spiritual power.
[06:40] K2
    The real obi is also capable
    of a level of recovery, but...
[06:45] K2
    Recovery consumes spiritual power,
    limiting your maneuverability.
SIGN    Now healing
[06:50] Sign
    If your control over the obi wavers,
    you'll naturally lose.
[06:55] Sign
    You can currently project two obi.
[06:58] Sign
    Including the real obi,
    you have three at your dispense.
[07:01] Sign
    You need to use your head
    when deciding which to use.
[07:05] Sign
    But don't hesitate to use
    the real one... to use me.
[07:10] Sign
    Understand?
[07:12] K1
    Okay.
[07:21] K2
    What is it?
[07:24] K2
    You seem like you have something to say.
[07:27] K1
    Well...
[07:30] K1
    The real obi being damaged would mean
    you getting hurt, right, Kiriha-san?
[07:37] K1
    I guess we're way past that point,
[07:40] K1
    but I don't like the idea
    of you getting hurt.
[07:45] K1
    I'll do my best.
[07:48] K1
    I'll win the duel and protect you!
[07:53] K1
    I just gotta work hard to pull off both!
[07:56] K1
    Winning is important,
    but you're important to me, too!
[08:07] K2
    Wha...
[08:09] K2
    What in the world are you saying?!
[08:12] K2
    That's supposed to be my role!
[08:16] K2
    Focus on the task at hand, fool!
[08:19] K1
    Why?!
[08:26] K2
    Now to bed, so we'll be rested tomorrow!
[08:37] K2
    Kazuya...
[08:40] K2
    You've done well, and in only a week.
[08:45] K1
    I have?
[08:46] K2
    Yes. Very well.
[08:49] K2
    And since you have...
[08:51] K2
    How about this?
[08:53] K2
    I'll be sure to sleep very soundly tonight!
[08:55] K2
    I won't even notice a bit of fondling.
[08:58] K1
    Wh-What are you saying?!
[09:06] K1
    Fondling...
[09:18] K1
    It's not funny!
[09:21] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry, sorry!<br>**[09:24] K
    So, what's up?
[09:27] K1
    Kiriha-san is never exactly gentle with me,
[09:29] K1
    but today she was more brutal than ever!
[09:33] K1
    Blew up at me for no reason...
    What was I supposed to do?
[09:37] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, Ya-kun, you blockhead!<br>**[09:44] K
    The thing is, Kiriha-chan has
    always been protecting people.
[09:48] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That goes for me, you,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and her previous wielder.<br>**[09:53] K
    It's been especially true
    for you, hasn't it, Ya-kun?
[09:58] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And now you tell her *you'll* protect *her*!<br>**[10:02] K
    You probably startled her...
[10:04] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Or perhaps took her breath away.<br>**[10:07] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is that why?<br>**[10:09] K
    Kiriha-chan is such a little darling!
[10:12] K1
    I-I guess so.
[10:15] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And you've done all sorts of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;naughty things with her.<br>**[10:24] K
    First this, then that, and to top it off...
[10:26] K1
    C-Cut it out!
[10:27] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And not only that, but with other girls, too!<br>**[10:32] Girls**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kazuya...<br>**[10:35] K
    You're so dirty, Ya-kun.
[10:38] K1
    Stop teasing me with illusions!
[10:41] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're the one creating<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;those illusions, Ya-kun.<br>**[10:44] K
    This is your dream, remember?
[10:48] K1
    I made them?
[10:50] K1
    Then I should be able
    to get rid of them, too!
[10:55] Dudes
    Kazuya!
[11:02] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well done!<br>**[11:04] K
    Someone in your position needs
    at least that much self-control.
[11:09] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You may as well experiment with her.<br>**[11:12] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Experiment?!<br>**[11:13] K
    Yes, experiment.
[11:14] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I doubt Kiriha-chan would be angry.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She'd probably be very gentle.<br>**[11:23] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I love it...<br>**[11:26] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I love how things are now.<br>**[11:31] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kiriha-san, Kukuri-chan,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kokuyou-san, and Chisato...<br>**[11:35] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I love how we all hang out now.<br>**[11:39] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If something more were to happen,<br>**[11:42] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it might change things too much.<br>**[11:48] K
    I see.
[11:53] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's dawn. I'd better get going.<br>**[11:56] K1**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodbye, previous malison cleanser lady.<br>**[12:00] K
    Right. Bye, now.
[12:05] K1
    The previous malison cleanser...
[12:08] K1
    Huh? Wasn't the previous
    malison cleanser my mom?
[12:13] K1
    If my mom was the previous malison
    cleanser, then that means she's... uh...
[12:21] K**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, I wouldn't bother. That part's sealed<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;away so that you can't connect the dots.<br>**[12:27] K
    Take it easy.
    You'll remember sooner or later.
[12:31] K`
    I'll be waiting until then.
[12:47] K1
    Macho, macho, macho...
[12:53] K1+2
    Tsugumomo!
[12:59] S+K
    Tsugumomo.
[13:10] K3
    The pact is sealed.
[13:12] K3
    Now any damage y'all take is gonna
    affect the water doll instead.
[13:17] K3
    Three things can decide this here match.
[13:20] K3
    Leavin' the range of the water dolls,
    namely the shrine grounds.
[13:23] K3
    Your water doll gettin' broke.
[13:26] K3
    And forfeitin'.
[13:28] K3
    Any of those means you lose.
    Keep that in mind.
[13:31] K3
    Now, this duel to determine
    the malison cleanser of Kamioka
[13:37] K3
    will be held under the auspices of
    the Great Incarnation of Hakusan-Myouri,
[13:41] K3
    Kukuri-hime no Ookami.
[13:45] S
    To become a malison cleanser
    like my brother...
[13:47] S
    To surpass Kanaka-sama,
    who stole my vendetta...
[13:51] S
    I've been training myself to
    the limit since I was young.
[13:55] S
    But he...
[13:58] (Flashback) S
    It just kind of happened?!
[14:00] (Flashback) K1
    Well, yeah...
[14:02] (Flashback) K1
    At first, Kukuri-chan ordered me to do it,
    so I didn't really have a choice.
[14:08] S
    He "just kinda" became Kanaka-sama's
    successor, and a malison cleanser?!
[14:13] S
    He's my enemy, all right.
[14:16] S
    I'll teach him the error of his soft ways!
[14:21] K
    Suou-sama lost his life because
    I wasn't strong enough...
[14:25] K
    If we lose this battle as well,
    it'll be because of me again.
[14:31] K
    I can't let that happen!
[14:36] K1
    Ignorant and unprepared, I was swept
    into the role of malison cleanser.
[14:40] K1
    But now, it's different.
[14:43] K1
    If I'm the one causing trouble for others,
[14:46] K1
    I should be the one who solves it.
[14:48] K1
    That's why I'll keep
    being a malison cleanser.
[14:53] K1
    And besides...
[14:54] (Flashback) S
    Kotetsu? What's that got to do with you?
[14:58] (Flashback) K1
    Why do you treat him...?
[15:01] (Flashback) S
    Kotetsu is just a tool.
[15:03] (Flashback) S
    He belongs to me,
    so I can use him how I please.
[15:07] K1
    Tsugumomo are more than that.
    They're partners.
[15:11] K1
    I can't lose to Sunao-san,
    who treats hers like a tool!
[15:15] K3
    Y'all ready to go?
[15:20] S
    They'll try to attack from
    outside my sword's range.
[15:24] S
    I'll close the gap immediately
    and end this quickly.
[15:28] K2
    It's time to pay them back, Kazuya!
[15:30] K1
    Yeah!
[15:33] K3
    Fight fairly and honorably!
[15:37] K3
    Begin!
[15:39] S
    He's closing in?!
[15:41] K1
    Dummy Weave!
[15:58] K1
    Dummy Weave!
[16:00] S
    That again?
[16:03] S
    I'll tear it to shreds!
[16:05] K2
    Get ready, Kazuya!
[16:06] K2
    Just as we planned, now!
[16:07] K1
    Right!
[16:10] S
    Empty Blade!
[16:17] K
    Sunao-sama?!
[16:20] K1
    A hit!
[16:21] K2
    But a light one.
[16:22] K2
    Stay on your toes and hold this range.
[16:24] K2
    We might be poorly matched,
    but that's a projection technique.
[16:28] K2
    It's less potent than the real sword.
[16:30] K2
    Which means it can be defended against!
[16:32] K2
    Further, she can't chain those
    as she needs to charge.
[16:35] K2
    We'll aim for the counter-attack
    after parrying her strike!
[16:42] H
    I see. Going for the riposte, huh?
[16:46] K3
    You came by, Honoka?
[16:48] H
    Yeah. Only by avatar, if you don't mind.
[16:53] H
    I heard he was a coward, unreliable,
    and totally lacking in skill...
[16:58] H
    But the boy's putting on a good show.
[17:01] H
    They make nice rivals, don't you think?
[17:03] K3
    Darn straight.
[17:08] S
    He has my range figured out.
[17:11] S
    He uses the obi doll to defend,
[17:12] S
    then closes the gap just enough
    for him to be able to attack.
[17:18] K2
    She's starting to parry the Obi Strikes.
[17:20] K1
    We're taking the offensive!
[17:24] K1
    Tangle Ball!
[17:26] S
    I've never seen that technique.
[17:30] K
    Sunao-sama, you should step back!
[17:32] S
    Shut up! Only losers retreat!
[17:37] S
    It became a Sledgehammer
    Weave in an instant?!
[17:42] K3
    Ain't that something?
    They got her on the ropes.
[17:46] H
    This shouldn't be so one-sided.
[17:50] H
    Sunao, don't tell me...
[17:53] K4
    By the time that feint turns into an
    actual attack, it's too late to react!
[17:57] K4
    You should stay back and come up with a plan!
[18:00] S
    Are you serious?
[18:02] S
    I'll take everything he's got,
    and make it clear who's stronger!
[18:07] H
    ...is just what she'd be thinking.
[18:09] K2
    Sunao seems to want more.
[18:11] K2
    Why don't we oblige her?
[18:14] K1
    Tangle Ball!
[18:29] K2
    We still have the momentum!
    Keep attacking her!
[18:40] K3
    Looks like my Kazuyan's got the advantage.
[18:42] H
    They've barely even started!
[18:46] K2
    She's blocked everything we threw at her.
[18:48] K2
    But a sword's offensive by nature.
[18:51] K2
    If we don't let her attack, she'll never win.
[18:55] S
    So this is what they came up with...
[18:58] S
    I'll smash them along
    with their little scheme!
[19:01] K2
    She's going to be expecting
    us to counter-attack.
[19:04] K2
    Go after her!
[19:05] K1
    Right!
[19:09] S
    Empty Blade...
[19:11] S
    Second Sword!
[19:15] K3
    Kazuyan!
[19:17] H
    There we go!
[19:18] K1
    Consecutive strikes?
[19:19] K2
    Get out of her range!
[19:21] S
    Ground Tracer!
[19:24] K1
    It exceeded its range?!
[19:30] K2
    We need to reformulate our plan!
    Keep your distance!
[19:32] K1
    Right!
[19:38] S
    A stone?
[19:40] K1
    Archery Weave!
[19:46] H
    Well, sure looks like the tables have turned.
[19:49] K3
    They've barely even started!
[19:51] H
    Seems they were aiming for the openings
    that Empty Blade and Ground Tracer create,
[19:56] H
    but they didn't account for this.
[19:58] K3
    She's firin' off multiple attacks, and at greater range.
[20:01] K3
    Did she ration her spiritual power?
[20:04] H
    You got it.
[20:05] H
    Reducing each attack's power lets her
    chain them and extend their range.
[20:09] H
    Which is pretty damn hard
    to pull off, if I might add.
[20:13] K3
    Kazuyan's still got plenty
    up his sleeve, you'll see!
[20:21] K1
    If we don't do something...
[20:22] K2
    Wait! The second strike—
[20:28] K1
    Kiriha-san! That was the real—
[20:30] K2
    I'm fine!
[20:34] K2
    This tactic won't work anymore. What now?
[20:40] K1
    Your projection!
[20:41] K2
    The recovery must be
    draining my spiritual energy!
[20:51] K2
    Fool! Why didn't you defend
    with a Shield Weave?!
[20:56] S
    You're mine!
[20:58] S
    They're in my sword's range now!
[21:00] S
    Try Shield Weaving or Wall Weaving this!
[21:03] K2
    Kazuya! What are you doing?!
[21:05] K1
    I need two obi for the Shield Weave.
[21:08] K1
    With one of the projections gone,
    I'd need to use the original obi!
[21:12] K1
    But if I use it now... Kiriha-san will...
[21:15] (Flashback) K2
    Don't hesitate to use me.
[21:17] (Flashback) K1
    I'll win the duel and protect you!
[21:21] K1
    I won't hesitate to use it...
[21:23] K1
    But I won't let Kiriha-san get hurt, either!
[21:27] K1
    Hand Weave!

[02:18] Honoka
    He redirected it!
[02:19] Kukuri
    Try blockin' with an obi,
    and a sword will slice clean through.
[02:22] Kukuri
    But that ain't the case with redirectin'!
[02:24] Sunao
    My full-force attack was
    shut down... and by a mere obi!
[02:27] Kotetsu
    Sunao-sama! Here they come!
[02:33] Sunao
    My water doll can't take much more!
[02:38] Kazuya
    She's retreating?
[02:39] Kiriha
    She's made room to catch her breath!
[02:41] Kiriha
    Don't give her the chance!
[02:43] ---
    Right!
[02:45] Sunao
    Don't get so cocky!
[02:50] Kotetsu
    Sunao-sama! You must save
    your spiritual energy—
[02:52] Sunao
    Shut up!
[02:57] Sunao
    A projection...
[02:58] Sunao
    I can't do any damage like this!
[03:01] Sunao
    In that case...
[03:02] Sunao
    off the parry...
[03:03] Sunao
    Empty Blade!
[03:08] Kazuya
    A counter...
[03:09] Kiriha
    We can't take initiative
    from a distance anymore!
[03:17] Kukuri
    They've stopped.
[03:18] HOnoka
    Hmm. Whoever moves first
    is at a disadvantage, now.
[03:22] Kiriha
    We have two obi at our disposal right now.
[03:24] Kiriha
    We can block attacks, but not strike back.
[03:26] Kiriha
    Staying defensive is wisest.
[03:28] Sunao
    Ranged attacks won't work anymore.
[03:30] Sunao
    And they won't come after me,
    since attacking leaves them open.
[03:34] Sunao
    Getting within the sword's
    range is my only hope.
[03:37] Sunao
    But my water doll can't take much more.
[03:40] Sunao
    If I take any damage while
    closing in, I'll lose.
[03:45] Honoka
    It's over.
[03:47] Kukuri
    Giving up already? That ain't like you.
[03:49] Honoka
    The more they dawdle,
    the more the obi recovers.
[03:53] Honoka
    Once they're back to three obi,
    it's game over.
[03:55] Kukuri
    Didn't Sunao withstand your big one
     during the regional god trial?
[04:00] Kukuri
    Ain't she got some
    trump card to turn the tables?
[04:02] Honoka
    She does, in a sense.
[04:04] Honoka
    The technique with which
    Sunao staved off Skyfire.
[04:06] Kukuri
    Skyfire?! Were you testin' her
     or murderin' her?!
SIGN    Skyfire
[04:09] Honoka
    Well, I had a hunch Sunao could take it.
[04:12] Honoka
    And the fact is, she did!
[04:14] Honoka
    That technique is plenty potent
[04:17] Honoka
    but only works within the sword's range.
[04:20] Honoka
    And with how things stand,
    Sunao won't be able to get them to close in.
[04:26] Kukuri
    I wouldn't be so sure.
[04:30] Kazuya
    I can't.
[04:31] Kiriha
    But why?!
[04:32] Kiriha
    We're sure to win if we
    stay on the defensive!
[04:35] Kazuya
    That isn't good enough.
[04:37] Kazuya
    We can't truly win unless
    we face Sunao-san at her best!
[04:41] Kiriha
    Kazuya... Why does it matter so to you?
[04:44] Kazuya
    Tsugumomo are more than just tools.
[04:47] Kazuya
    The only way we can make her
    understand that is by winning!
[04:51] Kazuya
    By showing her our all!
[04:55] Kiriha
    Very well. Understood!
[04:56] Kiriha
    Let's give her everything we have!
[04:59] ---
    Right!
[05:02] Kotetsu
    They're closing in on us?!
[05:04] Kotetsu
    But if they'd stayed away and
    recovered, they'd have won!
[05:07] Sunao
    No, I get it! I know what he's thinking!
[05:11] Sunao
    Victory means triumphing
    over your opponent's all!
[05:13] Sunao
    That's it, isn't it?
[05:16] Sunao
    Fine then,
[05:17] Sunao
    I'll take you on!
[05:20] Honoka
    Kotetsu can do more than project
    blades of spiritual energy.
[05:24] Honoka
    He can also shroud the
    blade in spiritual energy
[05:28] Honoka
    to reduce resistance and boost its speed.
[05:31] Honoka
    Show them, Sunao.
[05:32] ---
    The technique that overcame Skyfire—
    your secret strike, Winged Cutter!
[05:36] Kukuri
    When a tsukumogami overwhelms its wielder,
    it's called tsukumo-possession.
[05:41] Kukuri
    A tsukumo-possessed human
    gains incredible power,
[05:45] Kukuri
    at the cost of losing control
    being physically drained.
[05:49] Kukuri
    But if the two are in perfect harmony
    and share a deep bond,
[05:54] Kukuri
    a type of controlled
    tsukumo-possession is possible!
[05:58] Kukuri
    And it's called...
[05:59] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[06:00] Kiriha
    Right!
SIGN    Divine Possession
[06:06] Kazuya
    Divine Possession!
[06:13] Sunao
    Secret strike...
SIGN    Winged Cutter
[06:16] Sunao
    Winged Cutter!
[06:18] Kazuya
    Power Obi!
[06:37] Honoka
    Divine Possession?!
[06:39] Honoka
    I didn't know any human could use it!
[06:41] Kiriha
    The slightest lapse will cost us!
[06:43] Kiriha
    Every move must be quick and precise!
[06:46] Kotetsu
    This clash is too dangerous!
[06:47] Kotetsu
    We should regroup—
[06:48] Sunao
    No backing down!
[06:54] Kukuri
    They're even?!
[06:55] Honoka
    No.
[07:09] Kazuya
    Power Obi...
SIGN    Coiling
[07:11] Kazuya
    Coiling Serpent!
SIGN    Serpent
[07:37] Kukuri
    That does it.
[07:39] Kukuri
    The winner is Kagami Kazuya!
[07:57] Kazuya
    Ow!
[07:59] Kazuya
    What was that for?!
[08:07] Kukuri
    That was mighty cool, Kazuyan!
[08:09] Kazuya
    Well... thanks.
[08:12] Kiriha
    You're grinning like a buffoon!
[08:14] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[08:20] Sunao
    Your spiritual energy was too spent
    to maintain the barrage.
[08:24] Sunao
    That and the accumulated damage Kotetsu
    had taken are what decided the match.
[08:28] Sunao
    Honoka-sama...
[08:30] Honoka
    The blade is in one piece. Don't worry.
[08:34] Honoka
    They could have snapped Kotetsu,
    you know. Show some gratitude.
[08:42] Sunao
    Right.
[08:58] Kazuya
    I thought she considered
    tsukumogami mere tools.
[09:02] Kiriha
    No one who really thinks as such
    could demonstrate that much power.
[09:12] Kukuri
    Well, heck! That was some fight!
[09:15] Kiriha
    With an obvious outcome.
[09:17] Kukuri
    Looked to me like y'all cut it pretty close.
[09:21] Kiriha
    Well, it wouldn't be much of a
    contest if we simply dominated.
[09:25] Kukuri
    There you go again!
[09:26] Kukuri
    I reckon we oughta head home and celebrate!
[09:29] Kiriha
    Since when is it your home? It's mine!
[09:32] Kukuri
    It ain't yours, either, Kiriha!
[09:36] Kukuri/Kiriha
    Kazuyan?!
    Kazuya?!
[09:41] Kazuya/Sunao
    Tsugumomo.
[09:46] Everybody
    Tsugumomo!
[10:01] Kukuri
    Then the reason Kazuyan collapsed...
[10:05] Kiriha
    Aye. An effect of Divine Possession.
[10:09] Kiriha
    It's a technique that involves a
    tsukumogami and its user becoming one.
[10:14] Kiriha
    It temporarily grants inhuman power.
[10:18] Kiriha
    But in ruthlessly drawing forth that power,
[10:21] Kiriha
    it puts a commensurate strain on the body.
[10:24] Kukuri
    Which done put him in this here state.
[10:27] Kukuri
    Y'all didn't barely even use it.
[10:30] Kukuri
    Don't s'pose you know when he'll recover?
[10:32] Kiriha
    I should like to think this is temporary,
    and he'll be back to normal soon.
[10:37] Kukuri
    Still, talk about dangerous.
[10:40] Kukuri
    If Divine Possession had worn off
    'fore you'd beaten Sunao,
[10:44] Kukuri
    you'd have had to protect the immobile
    Kazuyan while fightin', right?
[10:49] Kiriha
    It wouldn't have even gone that far.
[10:52] Kiriha
    I was spiritually depleted to the point
    that I couldn't have projected an obi.
[10:58] Kiriha
    We only tested whether Divine Possession
    was usable during training,
SIGN    Whoa...
SIGN    We can't
    do this
    for long!
[11:01] Kiriha
    but didn't keep it up long enough
    to cause such side effects.
[11:05] Kiriha
    This was the first time we used it seriously.
[11:08] Kiriha
    I didn't think the result
    would be this severe.
[11:11] Kukuri
    A technique you gotta be
    sure you'll win with, huh?
[11:15] Kukuri
    Not somethin' you can pull out whenever.
[11:17] Kasumi
    Hey!
[11:19] Kasumi
    Dinner's ready!
[11:22] Kukuri
    Kazuyan!
[11:24] Kukuri
    Say, "Ahh!"
[11:26] Kazuya
    A-Ahh...
[11:30] Kukuri
    So, whatcha wanna eat next?
[11:33] Kazuya
    Uh, I guess the salad...
[11:36] Kukuri
    Say, "Ahh!"
[11:38] Kasumi
    Wait, what happened to Ya-kun?!
[11:40] Kiriha
    Don't worry. He'll be fine again soon enough.
[11:44] Kasumi
    Don't tell me you forced
    Ya-kun into a dark room
[11:47] Kasumi
    and subjected him to such hardcore treatment
    that he can't even stand anymore?!
[11:51] Kasumi
    But perhaps I could be the one to heal
    Ya-kun's injured body and heart...
[11:55] Kukuri
    You like it, Kazuyan?
[11:57] Kiriha
    My, aren't you enjoying yourself.
[11:59] Kukuri
    N-No! I ain't been thinking a mite
    'bout how we're like newlyweds!
[12:05] Kiriha
    How about it, Kukuri? Why not help
    Kazuya with more than just eating?
[12:09] Kukuri
    I-I don't mind.
[12:14] Kukuri
    Aw...
[12:15] Kukuri
    Aw, shoot...
[12:17] Kukuri
    Not like this!
[12:20] Kazuya
    It's okay, Kiriha-san.
    It won't hurt to skip a single day's bath.
[12:25] Kiriha
    What are you talking about?
    You worked up quite a sweat today!
[12:30] Kiriha
    Didn't you offer to help?
[12:32] Kiriha
    Have you always been such
    an uncaring god, Kukuri?
[12:35] Kukuri
    But I can't help bein' embarrassed.
[12:38] Kukuri
    I mean, yeah, I wanna help Kazuyan, but...
[12:42] Kukuri
    But...
[12:45] Kiriha
    I've a brilliant suggestion, then.
[12:49] Kiriha
    Now then, Kazuya.
[12:50] Kiriha
    Sorry for the wait. You can relax now.
[12:55] Kazuya
    I'm not sure how you expect
    me to do that, considering.
[12:59] Kiriha
    Displeased, Kazuya?
    It must be Kukuri's fault, then.
[13:04] Kukuri
    Forgive me, Kazuyan.
[13:06] Kukuri
    I'm just so dang embarrassed.
[13:08] Kazuya
    Oh, no, it's not your fault, Kukuri-chan!
[13:11] Kiriha
    Here.
[13:12] Kukuri
    Okay.
[13:15] Kiriha
    Now, turn this way.
[13:16] Kazuya
    Hey!
[13:16] Kazuya
    My face is touching them!
[13:18] Kiriha
    So what if it is? Pipe down.
[13:20] Kukuri
    I-I'm gonna wash you now, Kazuyan.
[13:23] Kazuya
    R-Right, thanks.
[13:30] Kiriha
    Aren't you high-and-mighty, Kazuya?
    Making a local god wash your back.
[13:36] Kukuri
    No kiddin', Kazuyan.
[13:38] Kazuya
    You're the one making her do it, Kiriha-san!
[13:41] Kazuya
    Kukuri-chan, you can stop
    if you're uncomfortable.
[13:44] Kukuri
    It's okay.
[13:46] Kukuri
    You did a downright fine job today.
[13:52] Kiriha
    Now then...
[13:54] Kukuri
    There, now turn this way.
[13:58] Kiriha
    Hup.
[14:08] Kiriha
    What's the matter, Kukuri?
    Hurry up and wash it.
[14:12] Kiriha
    His dick.
[14:13] Kukuri
    Don't blurt it out!
[14:14] Kukuri
    You don't have to do that part!
    I can wash it myself, once I can move again!
[14:19] Kiriha
    Don't be foolish. That part
    needs washing the most!
[14:22] Kukuri
    Th-That's right.
[14:24] Kukuri
    The only reason Kazuyan's like this
[14:26] Kukuri
    is 'cause I done made him
    become a malison cleanser.
[14:31] Kukuri
    He's always tendin' to our needs,
    and what's more,
[14:34] Kukuri
    soon 'nuff he might be
    "tendin' to my needs" every night!
[14:38] Kukuri
    All right! I'll wash it!
[14:40] Kukuri
    It's cleanin' time!
[14:43] Kukuri
    Brace yourself!
[14:44] Kazuya
    Hang on a second!
[14:45] Kazuya
    Just give me five min—
[14:52] Kukuri
    It... It's in battle mode!
[14:58] Kazuya
    I mean, you're clinging to me
    and washing me, naked...
[15:02] Kukuri
    En... En garde!
[15:03] Kazuya
    W-Wait! That's enough!
[15:04] Kazuya
    Enough! You don't have to—
[15:19] Kiriha
    Blasted Kukuri. Says she'll take care
    of you, then falls asleep first.
[15:24] Kiriha
    Now then, Kazuya.
[15:27] Kiriha
    I remember promising you a reward if you won.
[15:29] Kazuya
    Did you?
[15:31] Kiriha
    I did.
[15:34] Kiriha
    What kind of reward should I give you?
[15:36] Kazuya
    H-Hang on...
[15:38] Kiriha
    There's no one to interfere now.
[15:40] Kazuya
    Kukuri is right there!
[15:42] Kiriha
    Forget the child. She won't
    wake now that she's asleep.
[15:45] Kazuya
    B-But...
[15:47] Kiriha
    Now...
[15:48] Kiriha
    There's no escape for you, Kazuya.
[15:57] Kiriha
    There!
[15:58] Kiriha
    There!
[15:59] Kazuya
    Wait—
[16:00] Kiriha
    There!
[16:01] Kazuya
    Stop! My underpants—
[16:18] Kukuri
    Well, look at the time.
[16:20] Kukuri
    Hey, Kazuyan. Rise and shine!
[16:26] Kukuri
    Sheesh. Up you go!
[16:30] Kukuri
    Oh, no!
[16:33] Kukuri
    What in tarnation are y'all doin' now?!
[16:35] Kiriha
    Pipe down! It's still early.
[16:39] Kazuya
    She made an obi.
[16:41] Kazuya
    And I can move.
[16:42] Kukuri
    Y'all did this as I was sleepin' beside?!
[16:45] Kukuri
    Heaven may forgive you, but I ain't gonna!
[16:48] Kiriha
    So says the child who couldn't
    even stay awake at night.
[16:51] Kiriha
    Right, Kazuya?
[16:52] Kukuri
    Kazuyan! What did you do?!
[16:54] Kazuya
    To be honest, I kinda
    passed out part way through.
[16:58] Kazuya
    As far as I can remember...
[17:00] Kukuri
    So, how was it? Gimme details!
[17:03] Kasumi
    Damn it all!
[17:05] Kasumi
    What did you do to Ya-kun, you horny youkai?!
[17:07] Kukuri
    Yeah! Don't spare any detail!
[17:09] Kazuya
    I seriously don't remember.
[17:11] Kiriha
    Could you all quiet down?
[17:13] Kasumi
    I can't let you live with this
    lewd tsukumogami anymore!
[17:16] Kasumi
    Ya-kun, you should move into my room!
[17:18] Kazuya
    Uh, I'll pass.
