**[02:47] Kazuya**
Okay, enough! It's too hot as it is!
**[02:51] Kazuya**
How am I supposed to sleep like this?!
**[02:54] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san! How many times do I have
to ask you to wear panties in bed?!
***SIGN*** Tsukumogami born from an obi sash
Kiriha
**[02:57] Kiriha**
Wasn't on purpose. They always seem

Kokuyou
**[03:01] Kukuri**
Why were we sleepin' in here, again?
**[03:03] Kokuyou**
I accompanied you to the washroom
in the night, then followed you here.
**[03:06] Kukuri**
You sure that wasn't
the night before last?
**[03:08] Kiriha**
None of this matters!
Back to bed, Kazuya...
**[03:10] Kazuya**
Hey, Kiriha-san!
**[03:15] Kasumi**
How many times do I have to tell
you to stop tempting Ya-kun?!
**[03:17] Kasumi**
You tsukumogami tart!
**[03:19] Kazuya**
Stop!
***SIGN*** Older sister
Kagami Kasumi
**[03:23] Kasumi**
Come on, Ya-kun. If you don't get ready
and eat soon, you're going to be late.
**[03:28] Kazuya**
You're right!
**[03:32] Kazuya**
Come on, Kiriha-san, aren't you coming?
**[03:36] Kazuya**
We need to explain everything
to the others today.
**[03:42] Osamu**
You seem exhausted as usual, Kagami-kun.
***SIGN*** Osanai Osamu
***SIGN*** Shiramine Shirou
**[03:45] Chisato**
It's because he never allows enough time.
***SIGN*** Chikaishi Chisato
**[03:48] Kazuya**
I wish I had more to allow, believe me...
**[03:50] Guys**
Hey, Obina-san.
**[03:52] Guys**
Where'd you go to school before this?
**[03:54] Guys**
Is that your natural hair color?
**[03:55] Guys**
Got any hobbies?
**[03:56] Guys**
What music do you like?
**[03:57] Kiriha**
What is all this?
**[03:58] Kiriha**
How am I meant to answer
so many questions at once?
**[04:00] Kazuya**
*Kiriha-san sure is a hit...*
**[04:03] Guys**
Hey, Kagami.
**[04:03] Guys**
You're good friends with Obina-san, right?
**[04:06] Guys**
Did you grow up together or something?
**[04:07] Kazuya**
Uh, sorta.
**[04:09] Shirou**
Then she must've lived in
your neighborhood, huh?
**[04:13] Kiriha**
Neighborhood? We live in
the same house, in fact.
**[04:17] Shirou**
Well, if you were friends back then,
**[04:19] Shirou**
did you bathe together and
sleep together and all that?
**[04:23] Kiriha**
Don't be foolish.
**[04:24] Kiriha**
We still sleep together,
to say nothing of bathing.
**[04:28] Kiriha**
It's Kazuya's duty to
wash my back, after all.
**[04:31] Shirou**
Judgment time!
***SIGN*** Classroom 2-2 Provisional Courtroom
***SIGN*** Defendant Kagami Kazuya
**[04:38] Shirou**
This perversion trial, held by
our class of wholesome young men,
**[04:41] Shirou**
has now convened!
***SIGN*** Judge S.S
***SIGN*** Homeroom Teacher Iraha Isuzu
**[04:44] Teacher**
Okay, everyone to your seats.
**[04:46] Teacher**
What the—
**[04:47] Kazuya**
Sensei!
**[04:48] Shirou**
Defendant Kagami Kazuya!
***SIGN*** Judge S.S
**[04:50] Shirou**
You are charged with cohabiting
**[04:52] Shirou**
with a beautiful girl and engaging
in lascivious activities!
**[04:55] Kazuya**
It's a misunderstanding!
Kiriha-san's just confused, that's all!
**[04:58] Kazuya**
Her memory's, like... y'know!
***SIGN*** Key Witness Obina Kiriha
**[04:59] Kiriha**
Rude.
**[05:00] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[05:01] Kazuya**
No more jokes! Please?!
**[05:03] Chisato**
Your honor!
***SIGN*** Juror C.C
**[05:04] Chisato**
I've seen the defendant in the bath and
sleeping with Kiriha-san with my own eyes.
**[05:09] Kazuya**
Chisato?!
**[05:10] Shirou**
I see no grounds for
defense in this case!
**[05:10] Kazuya**
Sensei! Sensei, I don't
think this is a legal trial!
**[05:12] Shirou**
In the name of this assembly
of wholesome young men...
**[05:14] Teacher**
I don't know what you expect me to do!
**[05:16] Shirou**
you are hereby sentenced
to the maximum punishment!
***SIGN*** Guilty of perversion in the first degree
Execution by turtle-shell bondage pendulum
***SIGN*** Culture Club Room Annex
***SIGN*** Culture Club Room Annex
**[05:30] Shirou**
A tsukumogami, huh?
**[05:32] Kiriha**
Indeed I am.
**[05:33] Kiriha**
An obi tsukumogami, in fact.
**[05:36] Kiriha**
I've been attending to exorcisms
in this area with Kazuya here.
**[05:40] Osamu**
I see.
**[05:42] Osamu**
Then the younger form you had
before was only temporary?
***SIGN*** It's me!
**[05:45] Osamu**
That is a shame.
**[05:47] Kiriha**
It is?
**[05:47] Osamu**
I meant to say, a surprise.
**[05:50] Osamu**
Incidentally, Kagami-kun...
**[05:53] Osamu**
This is a vacant room meant
for one of the culture clubs.
**[05:55] Shirou**
Oh, yeah. What did you wanna talk about?
**[05:58] Shirou**
And for the record, there is no
possible defense for the fact
**[06:01] Shirou**
that you're cohabiting with a babe!
**[06:02] Kazuya**
What are you even...
**[06:06] Kazuya**
To be honest, I need to
ask you all for help.
**[06:10] Kazuya**
You've seen it yourselves already,
**[06:13] Kazuya**
but strange things keep
happening at this school.
**[06:19] Chisato**
You mean the incidents caused by amasogi?
**[06:21] Shirou**
Oh, that thing where people's desires
turn stuff supernatural, right?
**[06:26] Shirou**
Man, that was pure hell.
***SIGN*** Shirou's atonement was
smelling foul (for one week)
**[06:29] Kazuya**
The longer an amasogi causes trouble,
**[06:31] Kazuya**
the more intense the atonement it results in.
**[06:34] Kazuya**
So I want to try to gather information
that'll help us deal with them faster.

Which is why I'm thinking
of turning this room...
**[06:43] Kazuya**
into a place where students can
come for help with their problems.
**[06:45] Shirou**
Like, counseling?
**[06:47] Shirou**
What the heck?
**[06:48] Osamu**
I understand.
**[06:50] Osamu**
By getting information on rumors
and troubles arising among students...
**[06:53] Chisato**
We might be able to
uncover clues on amasogi!
**[06:56] Kazuya**
Right!
**[06:57] Kazuya**
But we wouldn't be able to do it alone.
**[07:00] Osamu**
I assume that's where we come in.
**[07:03] Shirou**
I gotta ask, why does all this stuff
keep happening at our school, anyway?
**[07:09] Osamu**
A good question. I wonder if
there's a particular cause.
**[07:15] Kazuya**
There's...
**[07:18] Kiriha**
The birth of an amasogi is tied
to something called malison.
**[07:23] Shirou**
Malaysian?
**[07:24] Kiriha**
No.
**[07:25] Kiriha**
Malison... is like a type of fog that has
the power to make wishes come true.
**[07:31] Kiriha**
It occurs naturally throughout the world,
***SIGN*** Malison
**[07:34] Kiriha**
having a subtle influence
over all things that happen.
**[07:38] Kiriha**
We tsukumogami are generally the
result of the accumulation of malison
**[07:44] Kiriha**
over an extended period of time.
**[07:46] Kiriha**
However, should an abnormally rich
amount of malison come under
**[07:50] Kiriha**
the influence of an intense desire or wish,
**[07:53] Kiriha**
it can create an instant tsukumogami,
**[07:55] Kiriha**
one born without any
rational intelligence.
**[07:57] Kiriha**
That's what amasogi are.
**[08:00] Osamu**
Then this malison gathers
more easily in our school?
**[08:03] Shirou**
Yeah, but I'm asking why!
**[08:06] Kiriha**
Because someone who attends
school here has a condition
**[08:09] Kiriha**
that causes them to attract malison.
**[08:14] Kiriha**
They're born into every age,
**[08:18] Kiriha**
dubbed "scorned children,"
and treated as the source of the scourge.
**[08:22] Kazuya**
And it turns out...
**[08:25] Kazuya**
that I'm one of those scorned children.
**[08:27] Shirou**
So this stuff is happening
because of you, Kazuya?
**[08:32] Kazuya**
Yeah. And honestly, I should probably
be dealing with this stuff by myself—
**[08:37] Kiriha**
You're wrong there.
**[08:40] Kiriha**
It's true that denser malison increases
the likelihood of amasogi being born,
**[08:46] Kiriha**
but shunning the scorned children
**[08:49] Kiriha**
merely results in the malison
collecting elsewhere.
**[08:52] Kiriha**
All that changes is the time and place
in which the amasogi are born.
**[08:56] Kiriha**
The real reason that amasogi are born
**[08:58] Kiriha**
is a heart so weak that
it is overtaken by avarice.
**[09:03] Kiriha**
No one has the right to pass that
blame on to the scorned child.
**[09:07] Kiriha**
They are not at fault.
**[09:15] Shirou**
Yeah, you've got a point.
**[09:18] Shirou**
I'm the one who actually used
that amasogi cologne, after all.
**[09:23] Osamu**
Right, it wasn't Kagami-kun's fault.
**[09:27] Osamu**
The best thing for us to do is
prevent more damage where possible.
**[09:31] Shirou**
And that's what this
troubleshooting office is for?
**[09:34] Shirou**
All right, I'm in!
**[09:37] Osamu**
I'll be splitting my time with the
manga club, but I'll join you.
**[09:41] Chisato**
I'd love to help, too.

What are you two doing here?
**[09:57] Kiriha**
I gave them word ahead of time.
**[10:00] Kiriha**
It's thanks to Tadataka that we
have use of this room, you know.
**[10:04] Tadataka**
Oh, it was the least I could do!
**[10:06] Nanako sign**
I'll help, too.
**[10:07] Kazuya**
But you both had to go through
atonement because of me...
**[10:11] Kiriha**
Stop that.
**[10:13] Kiriha**
I just said it wasn't your fault.
**[10:16] Kiriha**
And besides...
**[10:17] Kiriha**
Nanako!
**[10:23] Nanako**
I'm grateful... to you... Kagami-senpai.
**[10:27] Kazuya**
Her voice!
**[10:28] Kiriha**
Atonement is basically one's punishment
for giving in to an amasogi's temptation.
**[10:32] Nanako sign**
It's coming back
little by little.
**[10:33] Kiriha**
If you accept that and are penitent,
the effects will weaken in time.
**[10:38] Tadataka**
I'm starting to see some hope, as well.
**[10:41] Kiriha**
Listen well. Blaming yourself
is not only pointless,
**[10:44] Kiriha**
but will also have the opposite effect.
**[10:47] Kiriha**
Understood?
**[10:50] Kazuya**
Yeah.
**[10:52] Kazuya**
Thank you, everyone!
**[10:54] Kiriha**

**[11:14] Chisato**
Come to think of it...
**[11:17] Kiriha**
What is it?
**[11:18] Chisato**
Well, there's something
that came to mind.
**[11:26] Tadataka**
The student council's been privy
to some information, as well.
**[11:30] Kazuya**
What kind of information?
**[11:33] Tadataka**
It seems that lately, underwear seems
to go missing after swimming classes.
**[11:38] Tadataka**
We've had the odd report of
such incidents here and there.
**[11:43] Kazuya**

Don't make so much noise.
**[12:30] Mimane**
Aye-aye, sir!
**[12:35] Mimane**
Okay, it's gone!

Looks like smooth sailing.

C... No, B.

One vote for B.
**[12:53] Kazuya**
Shirou, just for the record...
**[12:55] Shirou**
Come on, man, I'm not gonna
steal anybody's underwear.
**[12:58] Shirou**
It's what's on the inside that counts.
**[13:00] Osamu**
And if there's a need, you can just buy some.
**[13:02] Kazuya**
Right...
**[13:05] Kazuya**
Chisato!
**[13:07] Chisato**
Wh-What is it?
**[13:09] Kazuya**
I was wondering...

the one stealing underwear?
**[13:50] Kazuya**
It wasn't a cat or anything, was it?

It's most likely an amasogi.

Osamu, this calls for...
**[14:01] Osamu**
Right. An undercover operation.
**[14:04] Shirou**
Now then, people...
**[14:05] Shirou**
We need to requisition your panties.
**[14:08] Chisato**
Under no circumstances!
**[14:11] Tadataka**
If mine will suffice, you can have them.
**[14:13] Shirou**
It obviously has to be a girl's!
**[14:15] Chisato**
That's sexual harassment!
**[14:16] Kiriha**
Amasogi are like animals, true enough.
**[14:19] Kiriha**
A bit of bait might be just what we need...
**[14:28] Kazuya**
Sorry about this, Kiriha-san.
**[14:29] Kiriha**
Put them on, take them off...
You just can't seem to decide, can you?
**[14:33] Kazuya**
Well, you always sit around
the house without any on!
**[14:37] Kazuya**
Uh, forget I said anything.
**[14:39] Shirou**
Does this really have
any chance of working?
**[14:42] Osamu**
It is a fairly primitive trap.
**[14:48] Kazuya**
Did we catch something?
**[14:51] Kiriha**
Careful, now.
**[14:52] ---**
Right.
**[14:57] Shirou**
What the hell?
**[14:59] Osamu**
A frog... embroidered on a
pair of underpants, it seems.
**[15:02] Osamu**
Little girls' panties.
**[15:04] Osamu**
I'm guessing the size is 120.
**[15:07] Kazuya**

Seems ready for a fight.
**[15:57] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[15:57] Kiriha**
Right!
**[16:04] Kiriha**
It's collecting malison
from the surroundings.

Best to wrap this up quickly.

Kazuya-kun!
**[16:38] Shirou**
What the hell is that?!
**[16:39] Osamu**
I would assume it's the berserk amasogi.
**[16:41] Shirou**
But it's a pair of p-p-p-panties!
**[16:44] Shirou**
Indeed it is.
**[16:45] Kazuya**
Hey, Chisato!
**[16:46] Kazuya**
That pair belongs to you, doesn't it?!

I know it does!
I remember seeing them before!

Why do you remember that?!

Whoa, it's even bigger!
**[17:00] Kiriha**
You need to admit it, Chisato!
**[17:02] Kazuya**
That's right! You were so desperate for
underwear, it gave birth to an amasogi!
**[17:07] Shirou**
Damn, Chikaishi... Seriously?
**[17:09] Chisato**
This is exactly why I
didn't want to admit it!
**[17:12] Chisato**
Not to mention, I have no such desire!
**[17:14] Kazuya**
You don't?
**[17:15] Kiriha**
I thought that seemed odd.
**[17:19] Chisato**
Kazuya-kun!
**[17:32] Kiriha**
All right, Kazuya! We can't let this
thing continue to run rampant!

They're from when I was little,
and they'd been put away for so long...
**[18:09] Chisato**
I have no idea how this happened.
**[18:12] Kazuya**
What was it, then?
**[18:14] Kiriha**
Kazuya.
**[18:16] Kiriha**
Strip.
**[18:18] Kiriha**
I said strip, boy!
**[18:19] Kazuya**
Okay!
**[18:26] Kiriha**
I think it was lonely.
**[18:32] Kiriha**
There's sorrow in unused, discarded items.
**[18:36] Kiriha**
Let this be its small comfort.

Was this for the best?

Wouldn't you prefer to be with the

Student claims to be a witness
**[20:07] Osamu**
*I believe it was due to an
atmospheric plasma discharge.*
**[20:14] Kazuya**
I wonder what that frog's deal actually was...
**[20:18] ---**
Aye...
**[20:19] Kiriha**
If Chisato didn't give rise to the amasogi,
**[20:22] Kiriha**
it must have occurred naturally.
**[20:24] Kazuya**
But that's supposed to
take a long time, right?
**[20:29] Kiriha**
If a decade or so was
enough to animate them,
**[20:31] Kiriha**
the world would be crawling
with tsukumogami.
**[20:33] Kiriha**
Dense malison or not,
there'd have to be more to it...
**[20:37] Kasumi**
Ya-kun, is this all your laundry?
**[20:40] Kazuya**
Yeah.
**[20:42] Kasumi**
*No underpants...*
**[20:44] Kasumi**
* Did he lose them?*
* Did they fall off? Or maybe...*

No need to worry.

Is that not why we called upon your friends?
**[21:01] Kazuya**
I guess you're right.
**[21:03] Kiriha**
Now, then...
**[21:05] Kiriha**
Sir, do you feel itchy anywhere else?
**[21:10] Kazuya**
No, not really.
**[21:11] Kiriha**
What about here?
**[21:14] Kazuya**
Hey!

Or perhaps...
**[21:17] Kiriha**
down here?
**[21:19] Kiriha**

No!

Looks like it went down already.

Yes.

**[23:20] Kazuya**
Sunao-san, who challenged
me to a duel before,
**[23:22] Kazuya**
asked me to come to her house alone.
**[23:25] Kazuya**
I wasn't sure what to expect,
but what happened still surprised me!

**[00:08] Kiriha**
Ka...!
**[00:18] Kazuya**
And that was the dream.
What do you think, Kukuri-chan?
**[00:26] Kukuri**
*A black obi... and the woman usin' it?*
**[00:30] Kukuri**
* Those have gotta be his*
* memories of that day.*
**[00:34] Kukuri**
* But all those memories are s'posed to*
* be sealed away. What coulda caused this?*
**[00:42] Kukuri**
*It's 'cause they used Divine Possession!*
**[00:46] Kukuri**
* That technique melds the minds of*
* a tsugumomo an' their wielder.*
**[00:51] Kukuri**
*Did their memories get mixed up, too?*
**[00:57] Kukuri**
So... what happened after that?
**[01:01] Kazuya**
Well, the dream ended there.
**[01:05] Kazuya**
But something about the lady with
the black obi felt really familiar.
**[01:11] Kukuri**
* He's gonna get back the memories we*
* went to the trouble of lockin' away!*
**[01:15] Kukuri**
* I gotta tell Kiriha to avoid*
* usin' Divine Possession!*

What is this? What happened to you?!

Sunao-chan!
**[01:55] Susumu**
Are you all right?!
**[01:56] Susumu**
No pulled muscles?! No broken bones?!
**[02:00] Susumu**
Let's get you to a hospital ASAP!
**[02:01] Suzuri**
Susumu-san.
**[02:06] Suzuri**
You cannot baby her.
**[02:08] Suzuri**
The inheritor of the Sumeragi
school has to be better than this.
***SIGN*** Sunao's mother
Sumeragi Suzuri
**[02:11] Dad**
Cut her some slack!
**[02:14] Dad**
Sunao-chan's already tuckered out!
**[02:17] Sunao**

Sunao-chan!
**[02:42] Sunao**
I want to apologize for how rude I've been.
**[02:46] Kiriha**
Well, your tune certainly has changed.
**[02:51] Sunao**
The duel the other day...
**[02:53] Sunao**
That was something I one-sidedly
forced Kazuya-kun into.
**[03:00] Sunao**
But after being beaten by the two of you,
**[03:03] Sunao**
I realized how misguided I was.
**[03:07] Sunao**
And now, I'm embarrassed about
the way I've been behaving.
**[03:17] Kiriha**
Well, you swore vengeance on
Kanaka after she saved your life,
**[03:21] Kiriha**
a vendetta you then sought
to take out on Kazuya,
**[03:25] Kiriha**
to say nothing of your insults toward me,
another who helped save your life.
**[03:28] Kiriha**
What a pitiful brain you must have.
**[03:33] Sunao**
I'm sorry. When my temper
gets going, I just...
**[03:37] Kiriha**
Incidentally, what's become of Kotetsu?
**[03:41] Sunao**
A swordsmith is repairing his grip.
**[03:45] Sunao**
The blade itself didn't take any damage.
**[03:47] Kiriha**
That's a relief.
**[03:50] Sunao**
Yes.
**[03:52] Sunao**
I need to apologize to him, as well.
**[03:56] Sunao**
When I was little, I blamed
Kotetsu for my brother's death.
**[04:02] Sunao**
I didn't want to admit that
the amasogi was stronger,
**[04:04] Sunao**
so I laid all the blame on Kotetsu and
treated him coldly, like a mere tool.
**[04:11] Sunao**
But Kazuya-kun made me realize
how wrong I was about it all.
**[04:17] Kiriha**
The amasogi that struck down your brother
**[04:19] Kiriha**
was a match for someone as fierce
as Kanaka, despite its injuries.
**[04:24] Kiriha**
A typical malison exorcist
would have stood no chance.
**[04:27] Kiriha**
You can take pride in that.
**[04:29] Sunao**
Right.
**[04:33] Sunao**
Kiriha-sama...
**[04:34] Kiriha**
What is it?
**[04:35] Sunao**
The reason I asked you here
is because I had a question
**[04:38] Sunao**
that I doubt you would want
to answer around Kazuya-kun.
**[04:43] Kiriha**
About Kanaka, then...
**[04:44] Sunao**
Right. How did Kanaka-sama pass away?
**[04:50] Sunao**
Was she sick, or was it
some kind of accident?
**[04:52] Kiriha**
No.
**[04:54] Kiriha**
Kanaka was possessed by an amasogi.
**[04:58] Sunao**
Then she...
**[04:59] Kiriha**
Right.
**[05:03] Kiriha**
I killed Kanaka.

Talk about fancy.
**[06:57] Kazuya**
I came over since Sunao-san asked me to, but...
**[07:09] Kazuya**
*I can't take another step.*
**[07:11] Kazuya**
* Every one of my senses is*
* warning me of imminent danger.*
**[07:17] Susumu**
You'll pay! For harming my darling
Sunao-chan with those filthy mitts,
**[07:25] Susumu**
and not only that, but what's more...
**[07:29] Suzuri**
Susumu-san.
**[07:36] Kazuya**
*It's gone?*
**[07:37] Kazuya**
*That ominous feeling just vanished...*
**[07:42] Suzuri**
Thank you for coming.
I'm Sunao's mother, Sumeragi Suzuri.
**[07:47] Kazuya**
H-Hello! I'm Kagami Kazuya.
**[07:51] Suzuri**
I'm sorry if my daughter
troubled you the other day.
**[07:54] Kazuya**
Oh, not at all!
**[07:56] Suzuri**
Please, come right in.
**[07:59] Kazuya**
Sure.
**[08:01] Kazuya**
Pardon m—
**[08:02] Kazuya**
...eee?!
**[08:04] Suzuri**
Oh, excuse me. We made a bit of a mess.
**[08:06] Sign**
Suzuri
**[08:08] Kazuya**
A bit?!
**[08:09] Suzuri**
Right this way, please.
**[08:11] Kazuya**
O-Okay...
**[08:22] Sunao**
Th-Thank you for coming... Kazuya-sama.
**[08:27] Kazuya**
Kazuya-sama?!
**[08:31] Suzuri**
Please, take your time.
**[08:40] Kazuya**
Your mom is really pretty.
**[08:42] Suzuri**
On the outside, sure.
**[08:45] Kazuya**
So, what did you want to talk about?
**[08:49] Sunao**
I talked to Kiriha-sama.
**[08:51] Sunao**
About how you attract
supernatural aberrations...
**[08:54] Sunao**
And how you work as a malison exorcist
to atone for the damage that causes.
**[08:59] Sunao**
She also—
**[09:00] (Flashback) Kiriha**
Not a word to anyone else.
**[09:06] Sunao**
My point is, I let my emotions get out of
control, and I insulted and attacked you.
**[09:12] Sunao**
I'm sorry about that.
**[09:14] Sunao**
Plus... you helped me realize
something important.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Tsukumogami aren't tools.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Kazuya**
They're our partners!
**[09:24] Sunao**
So... thank you.
**[09:31] Sunao**
What?
**[09:32] Kazuya**
I thought you were kind of
aggressive and scary, Sunao-san...
**[09:38] Kazuya**
But you apologized when you felt bad
about something, and even thanked me.
**[09:43] Kazuya**
You really are honest about your feelings...
**[09:48] Kazuya**
Just like the meaning of your name.
**[09:56] Sunao**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[09:58] Kazuya**
Sorry. Was that weird?
**[10:02] Sunao**
*He sounded like my brother again...*
**[10:09] Kazuya**
You need something?
**[10:10] Sunao**
Yes.
**[10:11] Sunao**
I didn't ask you over just to apologize.
**[10:15] Kazuya**
So, what is it?
**[10:16] Sunao**
Well... I...
**[10:21] Sunao**
Could...
**[10:23] Sunao**
you and I...
**[10:26] Sunao**
Will you go out with me?!
**[10:30] Kazuya**
Um... and you don't mean, like,
going out on an errand?
**[10:35] Sunao**
Right.
**[10:36] Kazuya**
You mean in the romantic sense?
**[10:38] Sunao**
That's right!
**[10:41] Sunao**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
**[10:43] Sunao**
Listen! My mom says I have to!
**[10:47] Sunao**
The Sumeragi School of swordsmanship
is supposed to be unparalleled,
**[10:49] Sunao**
so this is the only way I can still run it!
**[10:52] Sunao**
I lost to you! If I lose,
I can't inherit the school!
**[10:55] Sunao**
So if we get married, we're family,
and the loss doesn't count!
**[10:59] Sunao**
Okay?!
**[11:00] Kazuya**
No, not okay! I mean, marriage?!
**[11:02] Sunao**
If this doesn't work, I'll be punished!
Disinherited, even!
**[11:06] Sunao**
So please! Pretend you're
my boyfriend, just for today!
**[11:10] Kazuya**
B-But you can't just keep lying to her.
**[11:13] Kazuya**
I'm sure if you just apologize...
**[11:15] Sunao**
Are you crazy?!
**[11:16] Sunao**
Every single one of my mom's "punishments"
are like the wrath of God!
**[11:20] Sunao**
I'm begging you! Do me this favor!
**[11:23] Kazuya**
Punishment...
**[11:25] Sunao**
Say no and we'll write this off
by writing *you* off! Permanently!
**[11:30] Suzuri**
Sunao?
**[11:33] Suzuri**
Is there anything wrong?
**[11:35] Sunao**
W-Well? How's that feel... K-Kazuya?
**[11:40] Kazuya**
F-Feels great... S-Sunao...
**[11:43] Suzuri**
It seems you've figured things out.
**[11:45] Sunao**
Yes!
**[11:47] Sunao**
We're going to see each
other romantically.
**[11:50] Sunao**
Kazuya was so glad. Right?
**[11:54] Sunao**
Do you wanna die?
**[11:56] Kazuya**
I get it, I get it!
**[11:58] Kazuya**
I'll be going out with Sunao-san.
**[12:01] Kazuya**
I hope we have your blessing.
**[12:03] Suzuri**
Of course. I'm glad to hear it.
**[12:05] Sunao**
See, Mother? We're already this close!
**[12:09] Sunao**
Right, Kazuya? We're not lying, right?!
**[12:12] Kazuya**
Right, right, right!
**[12:14] Suzuri**
Why, of course.
**[12:16] Suzuri**
I have complete faith that you're not
just playing house to placate me.
**[12:22] Suzuri**
In that case, why don't the two of
you get to know each other better?
**[12:28] Suzuri**
Everything is ready.
**[12:31] Suzuri**
It's time for some naked intimacy.

**[13:01] (Flashback) Students**
Ow...
**[13:02] (Flashback) Students**
Suzuri-san is super strong, as usual.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Students**
No one's ever been able
to score a point on her.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Students**
I hear if you can land a point on her,
you'll get to marry into the family.
**[13:12] (Flashback) Students**
Seriously?!
**[13:13] (Flashback) Students**
But I can't imagine being able to best her.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Students**
Hey, where's Susumu?
**[13:18] (Flashback) Students**
Well, since he never improves,
practicing with him is a waste of time,
**[13:23] (Flashback) Students**
so he's cleaning the place up instead.
**[13:25] (Flashback) Students**
That's messed up!
**[13:36] (Flashback) Susumu**
It's not like that!
**[13:43] (Flashback) Susumu**
I'm so sorry, miss!
**[13:46] Suzuri**
Only my father has ever been
able to land a strike on me...
**[13:51] Suzuri**
You're going to take responsibility
for taking my first time.
**[13:56] Suzuri**
And that means becoming a man
befitting of the Sumeragi School!
**[14:01] Narrator**
And six years later, the two
of them were happily married.
**[14:07] Suzuri**
It's time for some naked intimacy.
**[14:10] Sunao**
M-Mother?!
**[14:13] Suzuri**
Is this not commonplace
for young people these days?
**[14:17] Suzuri**
Or was what you were saying
about going out just a lie?
**[14:27] Sunao**
*Get in here before she catches on!*
**[14:39] Sunao**
Don't look at me!
**[14:40] Kazuya**
R-Right!
**[14:42] Suzuri**
Now, why don't you wash his back?
**[14:46] Both**
*She's going to watch?!*
**[14:47] Sunao**
You'd better not look at me in the mirror!
**[14:50] ---**
R-Right...
**[14:56] Sunao**
How did this even happen?
**[14:59] Suzuri**
It's your turn to be washed, Sunao.
**[15:02] Sunao**
No way! He's gonna touch me?!
**[15:05] Suzuri**
Is there a problem?
**[15:06] Sunao**
Well...
**[15:09] Susumu**
*Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable!*
**[15:14] Susumu**
* Even I don't get to bathe*

**[15:19] Susumu**
* And now this worm, whom I don't know*

**[15:21] Sunao**
Hey! Watch the creepy hands.
**[15:23] Kazuya**
Sorry, they're kind of shaky...
**[15:26] Sunao**
Whatever, let's just get in the hot water.

Well, now.
**[15:57] Suzuri**
It looks like the bath
has been contaminated.
**[15:59] Suzuri**
I guess you two won't
get to soak after all.
**[16:02] Kazuya**
R-Right...
**[16:11] Sunao**
What is this supposed to be?!
**[16:12] Suzuri**
I've prepared a place for
you to sleep, of course.
**[16:15] Suzuri**
Aren't all young people doing it these days?
**[16:18] Suzuri**
Or is this talk about going out a lie?
**[16:24] Sunao**
Kazuya... please.
**[16:34] Suzuri**
You're leaving your clothes on?
**[16:41] Kazuya**
Wh-What do we do about this?
**[16:44] Sunao**
We wait it out.
**[16:47] Sunao**
Give it some time,
and then say we're finished.
**[16:49] Kazuya**
Makes sense.
**[16:52] Suzuri**
Save the pillow talk for
after you've finished.
**[16:55] Suzuri**
I'll be waiting out here.
**[17:02] Sunao**
W-We just have to do this!
**[17:04] Kazuya**
D-Do what?!
**[17:05] Sunao**
D-Don't be stupid! We'll just be acting!
**[17:08] Sunao**
It just has to sound like we're doing it!
**[17:11] Kazuya**
U-Uh...
**[17:12] Sunao**
Get on with it!
**[17:14] Kazuya**
Come on, come on!
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
**[17:17] Sunao**
Why in English?!
**[17:18] Kazuya**
I mean, how am I supposed to know?!
**[17:20] Sunao**
I-It's supposed to be like...
"Can I touch you?" and "You're so pretty."
**[17:26] Sunao**
That kind of stuff. I think.
**[17:28] Kazuya**
O-Okay!
**[17:30] ---**
Then...
**[17:31] Sunao**
Hey—
**[17:33] Sunao**
Come on, you have to do it right!
**[17:36] Sunao**
And remember, we're only acting.
**[17:38] Kazuya**
Okay... Sunao.
**[17:42] Kazuya**
You're pretty, Sunao.
**[17:47] Kazuya**
Can I touch you?

Y-Yes...
**[17:51] Sunao**
B-Be gentle.
**[17:56] Kazuya**
Does that feel good?
**[17:59] Sunao**
Don't actually touch me!
**[18:00] Kazuya**
Ow!
**[18:01] Kazuya**
You're the one who said to do it right!
**[18:03] Sunao**
I didn't mean to... actually...

You're cute, Sunao.

*I know it's just pretend, and yet...*

There you are!

Ten Thousand Years of Death!
**[18:47] ---**
Eek!
**[18:49] Susumu**
"Eek"?
**[18:52] Susumu**
I'm so sorry, Sunao-chan!
**[18:54] Susumu**
Damn you!
**[18:57] Susumu**
This time I won't miss!
**[19:01] Kazuya**
You okay?
**[19:03] Sunao**
He missed my weak points...
**[19:06] Suzuri**
What an unpleasant interruption.
**[19:09] Suzuri**
It's okay now. Go right ahead.
**[19:12] Kazuya**
A-Actually, we already finished.
**[19:19] Suzuri**
Oh, excellent work. That was fast.
**[19:22] Kazuya**
Fast...
**[19:30] Suzuri**
Sunao.
**[19:38] Suzuri**
Let's see here...
**[19:41] Suzuri**
It's... still intact.
**[19:47] Suzuri**
I see.
**[19:49] Suzuri**
The two of you were trying to deceive me.
**[19:54] Sunao**
M-M-Mother! It's not...
**[19:57] Suzuri**
Come along, now.
**[20:08] Suzuri**
It's time for your punishment.
**[20:19] Sunao**
Let me walk you to the gate.
**[20:21] Suzuri**
Come visit again.
**[20:23] Susumu**
Don't listen to her!
**[20:25] Susumu**
Damn it, you're going too far.
**[20:28] Susumu**
This nonsense about getting
married because she lost...
**[20:32] Suzuri**
When Sunao told me how their duel went,
it gave me a good impression of him.
**[20:39] Suzuri**
The way she described him is
what gave me that impression.
**[20:43] Suzuri**
Do you understand what I'm saying?
**[20:46] Susumu**
No way!
**[20:48] Susumu**
I should kill him now,
while I have the chance—
**[20:52] Suzuri**
Don't be rude, now, Susumu-san.
**[20:54] Kazuya**
You want to train together
as malison exorcists?
**[20:56] Sunao**
Yeah. I need to show Mother that we're
getting along every now and then.
**[21:01] Kazuya**
Huh? Do we really need to?
She already figured out you were lying.
**[21:06] Sunao**
I haven't been disinherited yet,
so the lie is still in effect!
**[21:10] Kazuya**
Okay...
**[21:11] Sunao**
And about that stuff before...
**[21:13] Sunao**
That thing where I said...
I l-loved you... and kissed you...
**[21:20] Sunao**
All that was, uh...
just pretend, or like...
**[21:25] Kazuya**
It was really convincing.
**[21:28] Kazuya**
You're a heck of an actress!
**[21:30] Kazuya**
I knew the truth, but still got really nervous!
**[21:34] ---**
Th...
**[21:35] Sunao**
Th-That's right, I was acting!
**[21:37] Sunao**
Of course! Don't get the wrong idea, now!
**[21:40] Kazuya**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[21:46] Suzuri**
Sunao, you're making too much noise.

I sent Manaka Mana-san from the track team

a love letter and asked her

**[05:03] Shirou**
Sorry, were you waiting long?
**[05:08] Shirou**
Huh?
**[05:09] Mitsu**
Y-You're the one who sent me this, right?

There was no sender on it, so I
thought it might be a prank...

Even though Manana...
There's a girl in my class, Manaka-san,
**[05:42] Mitsu**
who's prettier and has
a great personality...
**[05:45] Mitsu**
Compared to her, I'm just a pebble...
**[05:48] Shirou**
Th-That's not true at all!
**[05:50] Shirou**
In terms of cuteness, I'd say you're
possibly even better than Manaka-san.
**[05:55] Shirou**
A-Anyway, about the letter...
**[05:56] Mitsu**
*Cute?*
**[05:57] Shirou**
I-It turns out I, uh, I actually

We *are* going out now.
**[07:04] Kiriha**
To think any girl would want to date Shirou...
**[07:07] Kazuya**
Wasn't he supposed to be
confessing to a different girl?
**[07:10] Chisato**
He's incorrigible!
**[07:12] Osamu**
I need to ask for detailed reports on his
first date, first kiss, and first experience.

Shiramine-kun is totally
going to cheat on her.
**[07:20] Crowd**
Mizushima's in for a bad time.
**[07:26] Mitsu**
Manana!
**[07:27] Mana**
You should break up right now.
**[07:32] Mitsu**
I-It's none of your business, Manana!
**[07:35] Mitsu**
He's my boyfriend.
**[07:37] Mana**
It is my business! I'm your friend, aren't I?
**[07:39] Mana**
This guy tries to get with
every girl he lays eyes on.
**[07:43] Mana**
You shouldn't do this.
**[07:44] Mitsu**
That's not true!
**[07:46] Mitsu**
Shirou-kun wrote about how
he liked me in a letter!
**[07:49] Mitsu**
He said I'm cute!
**[07:51] Mana**
I'm trying to tell you that
he says that to *every* girl!
**[07:54] Mana**
Open your eyes!
**[07:56] Mana**
I'm worried about you, Mittsun.
**[07:58] Mana**
Y-You say that...
**[08:00] Mana**
but you're just jealous that
I got a boyfriend before you!
**[08:05] Mana**
That has to be it! Because you've
always looked down on me!
**[08:10] Mana**
You're just jealous!
**[08:12] Mana**
Mittsun...
**[08:15] Mana**
Fine, then!
**[08:16] Mana**
Do what you want.
**[08:25] Mitsu**
Hey, I made some cookies for you.
**[08:29] Shirou**
O-Okay...
**[08:32] Mitsu**
Are they good?
**[08:35] Shirou**
Listen...
**[08:36] Mitsu**
Thank you, Shirou-kun.
**[08:40] Mitsu**
See, I've always looked up to Manana.
**[08:45] Mitsu**
She's cute... and pretty... and tall...
**[08:49] Mitsu**
She's a fast runner... and she's smart.
**[08:52] Mitsu**
Even her personality is great.
**[08:54] Mitsu**
But I finally outdid her!
I beat her best time.
**[09:01] Mitsu**
And not just that, but you said I was cuter!
**[09:06] Mitsu**
So I'm really happy right now.
**[09:12] Shirou**
I...
**[09:14] Shirou**
I've put myself out there to a lot of girls.
**[09:16] Shirou**
Basically every one that was my type.
**[09:19] Shirou**
I realize it's given me a bad reputation,
**[09:21] Shirou**
and it's part of the reason
I'm not very popular...
**[09:24] Shirou**
But I don't let it bother me.
I don't get nervous because of it.
**[09:27] Shirou**
Because I still like who I am.
**[09:32] Shirou**
But you've been measuring
yourself against someone else.
**[09:36] Shirou**
You might be happy right now,
but that'll only be temporary.
**[09:41] Shirou**
You need to decide what
you're worth for yourself.
**[09:46] Shirou**
And...
**[09:48] Shirou**
That love letter...
**[09:51] Shirou**
I meant to put it in
Manaka-san's shoe box.
**[09:55] Shirou**
I'm sorry.
**[09:59] Mitsu**
How could you?
**[10:01] Mitsu**
I finally...
**[10:04] Mitsu**
I finally beat her...
**[10:07] Mitsu**
You liar! You said I was cute!
**[10:10] Shirou**
H-Hang on a sec!
I wasn't lying about that—
**[10:10] Mitsu**
Liar, liar, liar!

Strange?
**[10:57] Mitsu**
N-No! I haven't.
**[10:59] Mitsu**
That's a weird question, Shirou-kun.
**[11:03] Shirou**
So you have...
**[11:05] Shirou**
Whatever it is, it's probably
an amasogi, and it's dangerous.
**[11:09] Shirou**
You really need to destroy it
before something bad happens.
**[11:13] Shirou**
Besides, anything you get from it
isn't going to be worth the trouble.
**[11:17] Shirou**
It'll be an illusion, and a temporary one at that.
**[11:21] Mitsu**
N-No...

"My best friend is better than

**[11:41] Osamu**
One of the notes we received
was from Mizushima-san.
**[11:45] Kiriha**
Where's she gone, then?
And what was the amasogi?
**[11:49] Shirou**
Well, she ran off before I could check...
**[11:54] Kiriha**
We need to find her as soon as possible!
**[11:57] Shirou**
I-Is this really that bad?
**[11:58] Kiriha**
It's worse!
**[12:01] Kiriha**
The amasogi that Nanako
created nearly killed her...
**[12:05] Kiriha**
This girl has lost
**[12:07] Kiriha**
the long-desired sense of affirmation
that the amasogi gave her.
**[12:12] Kiriha**
I hope she won't get
any weird ideas, but...
**[12:14] Kazuya**
We'd better stop her, fast!
**[12:17] Sign**
Manaka
**[12:20] Kazuya**
Wait!
**[12:22] Kiriha**
You actually showed up.
**[12:24] Kazuya**
Please snap out of it,
**[12:26] Kazuya**
Mizushima Mitsuri-san!
**[12:29] Kazuya**
You were so distraught at your best friend,
Manaka Mana-san, always outdoing you...
**[12:34] Kazuya**
And thanks to the amasogi,
you were finally able to beat her.
**[12:38] Kazuya**
But when Shirou found out the truth,
**[12:42] Kazuya**
you were so frightened of losing
the sense of triumph it gave you
**[12:46] Kazuya**
that you came here to kill Manaka-san!
**[12:54] Mitsu**
Me, kill Manana?
**[12:56] Mitsu**
What the heck?!
**[12:58] Mitsu**
I could never do that.
She's my best friend.
**[13:02] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[13:04] Kiriha**
You're completely off the mark!
Some detective you are!
**[13:07] Kazuya**
You're the one who said
she'd get a weird idea!
**[13:11] Mana**
Hey! Why are you all making
a fuss outside my house?
**[13:15] Mitsu**
Manana!
**[13:16] Mana**
Did you need something?
It's kind of late.
**[13:21] Mitsu**
Well... I wanted to return these to you.
**[13:29] Kazuya**
Shoes?
**[13:30] Mitsu**
I was really happy when
you gave me these shoes.
**[13:36] Mitsu**
So I practiced every day with them on.
**[13:39] Mitsu**
But that was when my times
stopped improving...
**[13:44] Mitsu**
And I figured I just didn't
have any potential.
**[13:48] Mitsu**
But then,
**[13:49] Mitsu**
the shoes got caught on a corner and
tore, so I had my mom fix them.
**[13:55] Mitsu**
In the meantime, I bought and
wore another pair just like them,
**[13:58] Mitsu**
so you wouldn't notice.
**[14:01] Mitsu**
And then I suddenly felt a lot lighter.
**[14:04] Mitsu**
My times started improving drastically.
**[14:07] Mitsu**
That was when Shirou-kun told me about
these strange tools called amasogi.
**[14:15] Mitsu**
My new times were because of an amasogi...
**[14:20] Mitsu**
I thought that was the case... but I was wrong.
**[14:23] Mitsu**
The replacement shoes
weren't the ones in my bag.
**[14:28] Mitsu**
It was the shoes you gave me, Manana!
**[14:33] Mitsu**
I didn't suddenly get faster!
I was being slowed down before!
**[14:38] Mitsu**
Why...
**[14:39] Mitsu**
Why did you do this to me?!
**[14:43] Mana**
Do you remember when we first met?
**[14:48] Mana**
I was short, and totally ordinary.
**[14:51] Mana**
You were the center of attention...
**[14:54] Mana**
I looked up to you... No, I loved you.
**[15:00] Mana**
That's why I tried to get
good at sprints, like you...
**[15:04] Mana**
and started acting more cheerful, like you.
**[15:07] Mana**
I even did my hair the same way.
**[15:09] Mana**
And then you became my friend!
**[15:13] Mana**
One day, you started to say I was your goal.
**[15:17] Mana**
I thought, if I could get out in front of you,
**[15:19] Mana**
maybe you'd start to like me in the same way...
**[15:22] Mana**
So I had to always be better than you.
**[15:27] Mana**
But then...
**[15:28] Mana**
You gradually began to catch up to me.
**[15:31] Mana**
I knew I wouldn't be able to
stay as your goal for long...
**[15:36] Mana**
And that was when I found those shoes.
**[15:42] Mana**
It's true. Your times weren't
improving because of these shoes...
**[15:46] Mana**
Because of me.
**[15:48] Mana**
And now it's all over...
You'll never fall in love with me now.
**[15:53] Mana**
You probably even hate me.
**[15:56] Mitsu**
Manana...
**[15:58] Mana**
You'll never be mine.
**[16:00] Mana**
And if you won't be mine...
**[16:08] Kiriha**
That was too close!
**[16:11] Mana**
Stay out of this.
**[16:14] Kiriha**
Well, this one's certainly out for blood!
**[16:16] Kiriha**
Grab the girl and let's escape!
**[16:18] Kazuya**
Obi Wheels!
**[16:32] Kiriha**
She's catching up!
**[16:34] Kiriha**
We need to face her somewhere
no one else will get involved!
**[16:36] Kazuya**
Right!
**[16:41] Mitsu**
Hey, what's going on?!
**[16:43] Kazuya**
The explanation will have to wait.
**[16:44] Kiriha**
Incoming!
**[16:46] Kazuya**
Shield Weave!
**[16:52] Kiriha**
Pull back! The shield's not going to hold!
**[17:02] Kiriha**
We might've chosen our
battleground poorly...
**[17:06] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, let's use Divine Possession!
**[17:09] Kiriha**
No! That's our last resort!
**[17:11] Kiriha**
Don't be so quick to rely on it!
**[17:18] Kiriha**
Our defenses can't hold!
Destroy the shoes!
**[17:21] Kazuya**
But... the atonement!
**[17:23] Kiriha**
That shouldn't be your
concern right now!
**[17:26] Mitsu**
Manana...
**[17:28] (Flashback) Mana**
And if you won't be mine...
**[17:32] Kazuya**
Archery Weave!
**[17:42] Mitsu**
Manana!
**[17:43] Kazuya**
Stay back!
**[17:59] Mana**
M-Mittsun?
**[18:02] Mitsu**
Why? Why did you give up so easily?!
**[18:05] Mitsu**
Even if I got mad, you could still apologize!
**[18:08] Mitsu**
You could've worked hard so
that I'd fall for you someday!
**[18:12] Mitsu**
Why won't you be the Manana
who's my best friend again?
**[18:18] Mana**
I... was so terrible to you...
I was betraying you this whole time...
**[18:23] Mana**
But you're willing to forgive me?
**[18:27] Mitsu**
Because I wouldn't be who
I am now without you.
**[18:34] Mana**
Mittsun...
**[18:35] Mitsu**
But just so you know,
I don't like girls that way!
**[18:39] Mitsu**
So don't get the wrong idea!
**[18:42] Kazuya**
I wasn't sure how it was
going to turn out, but...
**[18:44] Kiriha**
Now she just needs to destroy the shoes
herself, and the matter will be settled.
**[18:49] Akito**
I don't think so.
**[18:54] Mana**
Mittsun...
**[18:56] Mana**
Run.
**[18:59] Mana**
Mi... Mittsun... You're my...
**[19:08] Kazuya**
Woven Legs!
**[19:15] Kiriha**
This is bad! She's even more powerful now!
**[19:18] Mana**
Please...
**[19:20] Mana**
I can't control it...
**[19:22] Mana**
I don't want to hurt Mittsun.
**[19:25] Mana**
You have to kill me!
**[19:27] Mitsu**
Manana!
**[19:28] Mitsu**
Please, save her!
**[19:31] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[19:32] Kiriha**
We've got no choice!
**[19:34] Kiriha**
I'm not about to ignore the
pleas of a pair of dear friends!

Mittsun?
**[20:14] Mitsu**
Manana!
**[20:20] Shirou**
I never would've guessed Manaka-san
was the one behind the amasogi.
**[20:27] Kiriha**
What is it?
**[20:32] Mana**
Hello there.
**[20:33] Kazuya**
M-Manaka-san...
**[20:36] Mana**
Not long after I got home,
I suddenly couldn't walk.
**[20:40] Mana**
It took a while for me to calm down.
**[20:43] Kazuya**
It's because I couldn't fix this
without destroying the amasogi...
**[20:46] Mana**
No.
**[20:48] Mana**
I'm just paying for the trouble I caused.
**[20:50] Mana**
If anything, I'm grateful to you.
**[20:51] Chisato**
What happened with Mizushima-san?
**[20:56] Mana**
She's right behind me!
**[21:04] Mitsu**
I was surprised, too.
**[21:06] Mitsu**
It looks like the amasogi was slowing down
more than just how fast I could run.
**[21:12] Mitsu**
Thanks for loaning me a uniform, Manana.
**[21:14] Mana**
Well, you can't wear
your old one anymore!
**[21:18] Shirou**
Mizushima-san.
**[21:20] Mitsu**
Shirou-kun?
**[21:22] Shirou**
Would you be willing to
go out with me again?!
**[21:24] Mitsu**
Sorry.

Augh!
**[21:27] Kazuya**
Don't "Augh!" Shirou!

You never learn!
**[21:30] Mana**
He's certainly brave...
**[21:30] Shirou**
I sure don't!
**[21:31] Kazuya**
Maybe you should!
**[21:32] Chisato**
Stop trying to spin this!
**[21:34] Chisato**
Goodness gracious...
**[21:35] Kazuya**
Seriously, Shirou.

A lot of people absent today...

Sensei, we can't have class like this!
**[02:52] Student B**
He's right. We should have
a study period instead.
**[02:56] Iraha**
I'm going to consult with the other teachers.
**[02:59] Iraha**
Study quietly until I get back, okay?
**[03:01] Boys**
Yeah!
**[03:02] Student A**
Hey, wanna do versus mode?

**[03:08] Students**
Sure!
**[03:12] Shirou**
Hey.
**[03:14] Shirou**
You hear about how Takayama's been absent
**[03:16] Shirou**
because of some kinda sleeping sickness?
**[03:18] Chisato**
A sleeping sickness?
**[03:19] Shirou**
He won't wake up, no matter what they try.
**[03:22] Shirou**
The doctors have even thrown in the towel.
**[03:25] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san?
**[03:26] Kiriha**
Indeed. This calls for the

and at this point,

**[03:40] Shirou**
Even in the other classes?
**[03:43] Kiriha**
There's no doubt this is an amasogi's doing.
**[03:47] Kazuya**
We'd better solve it fast, then.
**[03:49] Kiriha**
Right. And on that note...
**[03:52] Kiriha**
I've arranged for an advisor
to help this club of ours
**[03:55] Kiriha**
deal with these ever-increasing
cases of aberrations.
**[03:58] Shirou**
Is it a woman?

***SIGN*** Mother's Testimony
***SIGN*** Mother's Testimony
**[04:26] Kiriha**
According to his mother, she thought
he'd left for school as usual,
**[04:31] Kiriha**
but when she got home from work,
**[04:32] Kiriha**
he was still asleep in his room.
**[04:35] Kukuri**
I've seen a ruckus caused by
a tsukumogami pillow before.
**[04:40] Kukuri**
The wielder at the time ended up
draggin' other folks into his dream.
**[04:45] Chisato**
That does sound similar
to this sleeping sickness.
**[04:48] Kukuri**
Yep.
**[04:49] Kukuri**
Which is why I figure this here
pillow oughta be our amasogi!
**[04:54] Kukuri**
Huh?
**[04:57] Chisato**
We checked the first three students
who fell to the sleeping sickness,
**[04:57] Signs; right to left**
Mikawa Mitsuo
**[04:57] Signs; right to left**
Takayama Takashi
**[04:57] Signs; right to left**
Nazuki Natsuki
**[05:00] Chisato**
but there was no sign of the amasogi.
**[05:03] Tadataka**
I see...
**[05:04] Kiriha**
This is what you "figured"?
**[05:06] Kiriha**
Because you were completely off.
**[05:08] Kukuri**
I mean, it seemed real sketchy...
**[05:10] Osamu**
The reasoning of looking into the
first victims made sense, but...
**[05:15] Shirou**
Those guys, huh?
**[05:16] Signs; right to left**

**[05:16] Signs; right to left**
Takayama Takashi
**[05:16] Signs; right to left**
Nazuki Natsuki
**[05:17] Shirou**
They always were hanging
out, come to think of it.
**[05:20] Shirou**
No telling what kind of
trouble they got up to.
**[05:20] (Flashback) Guys**
Man, that's nasty!
**[05:23] (Flashback) Guys**
I don't get you!
**[05:23] (Flashback) Iraha**
Come on, it's time for class.
**[05:27] Kazuya**
Is there some clue about
the three of them?
***SIGN*** Attendance
**[05:32] Kazuya**
Wait a minute...
**[05:36] Kazuya**
Sensei!
**[05:39] Iraha**
What's wrong?
**[05:42] Kazuya**
The attendance sheet.
**[05:44] Kazuya**
The first day he was absent,
**[05:46] Kazuya**
Takayama's mother didn't
know he was still asleep.
***SIGN*** Shiramine Shirou
***SIGN*** Takayama Takashi
***SIGN*** Chikaishi Chisato
***SIGN*** Nazuki Natsuki
**[05:49] Kazuya**
But you marked Takayama
and his friends as "sick,"
**[05:52] Kazuya**
without even checking with their parents!
**[05:56] Kazuya**
Which means... you must have known
why they were absent from the start.
**[06:02] Iraha**
I...
**[06:03] Kazuya**
Sensei, we know all about
these kinds of incidents!
**[06:07] Kazuya**
You have to tell us what's
going on so we can help you!
**[06:16] Chisato**
Sensei!
**[06:25] Kazuya**
Sorry for barging in like this.
**[06:29] Kiriha**
It seems this pillow is the amasogi.
**[06:32] Chisato**
Then after she wakes up,
we need to ask her to destroy it.
**[06:37] Kukuri**
Nah. She fled into her dreams.
**[06:42] Kukuri**
Isuzu ain't gonna wake up on her own.
**[06:45] Kiirha**
What if we destroy the pillow?
**[06:47] Kukuri**
All the folks inside her dream
are gonna end up stuck there.
**[06:50] Kazuya**
What do we do, then?
**[06:54] Kukuri**
This is the kinda thing you
need Shirayama-sensei for!
**[06:58] Bakura**
Hey there. I'm the dreaming
pillow tsugumomo, Bakura.
***SIGN*** Dreaming Pillow Tsugumomo
Bakura
**[07:04] Kukuri**
Bakura-chan's got the power to
get people in and outta dreams!
**[07:08] Kiriha**
I see. The idea is to try to convince
Isuzu within her dream, then?
**[07:13] Bakura**
That would be ideal, since it
would avoid malison atonement.
**[07:19] Bakura**
If you're unable to convince her,
**[07:22] Bakura**
the same pillow amasogi should
exist in her dream realm,
**[07:27] Bakura**
and you'll need to destroy that.
**[07:31] Kazuya**
So either convince her... or destroy
the pillow inside her dream?
**[07:35] Bakura**
The dream realm is distinct from reality,
but connected by your mind.
**[07:42] Bakura**
So if you're hurt inside the dream,
it will have an affect on your body.
**[07:51] Bakura**
Therefore, to minimize the danger,
we'll be splitting your minds up,
**[07:58] Bakura**
and your other half will be the one
that enters the dream realm.
**[08:05] Kazuya**
Other half?
**[08:07] Bakura**
On your initial entry into the dream,
**[08:09] Bakura**
you may be confused
and not realize it's a dream.
**[08:14] Osamu**
In that case, maybe we could agree on a
keyword I can write in my sketchbook?
**[08:20] Osamu**
Once we see that, it should
help us realize the truth.
**[08:23] Kiriha**
Tadataka, be ready in case things go awry.
**[08:26] Tadataka**
Leave it to me.
**[08:28] Bakura**
Here we go, then.
**[08:31] Bakura**
People and dreams,
**[08:32] Bakura**
connected in a fleeting moment,
in which all can be as they truly wish...
**[08:42] Kazumi**
That's right! We're inside Iraha-sensei's dream!
**[08:46] Kazumi**
In reality, I'm a boy, and Kirio-kun is a girl!
**[08:50] Kirio**
And our goal here is to
talk sense into Isuzu!
**[08:54] Kazumi**
I didn't realize this is what
she meant by our "other half"!
**[08:56] Kazumi**
It's kind of awkward to run!
**[08:58] Kirio**
I didn't realize these got in the way so much...
**[09:01] Kazumi**
Iraha-sensei!
**[09:04] Iraha**
What's wrong? You shouldn't
be running in the hallway.
**[09:07] Kazumi**
We've come to bring you back.
**[09:11] Kirio**
Release the students from this dream!
**[09:13] Kirio**
Or else we'll be forced to destroy
that pillow of yours.
**[09:16] Kirio**
An amasogi capable of something on this scale
**[09:18] Kirio**
is going to result in a fierce atonement!
**[09:20] Kazumi**
Sensei, please!
**[09:26] Iraha**
You actually made your
way into this dream, huh?
**[09:29] Iraha**
You two live up to your reputation.
**[09:31] Kirio**
What?
**[09:33] Iraha**
I knew you'd try to destroy the pillow, too.
**[09:37] Iraha**
I'm thinking your friends are waiting nearby,
**[09:40] Iraha**
waiting to destroy the pillow
you stole from my room
**[09:42] Iraha**
inside the dream when you
give them the signal, right?
**[09:45] Iraha**
Such a shame, though. That one's a decoy.
**[09:53] Kirio**
How did you know all this?
**[09:56] Iraha**
I can't let anyone interrupt this dream.
**[10:00] Iraha**
It's time for your shadows
to consume you, too.

**[10:45] Kazumi**
This must be what Bakura-san warned us about!
**[10:48] (Flashback) Bakura**
There's one other thing to warn you about.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Bakura**
Inside the dream, there's a
chance your shadow selves,
**[10:56] (Flashback) Bakura**
the portion of yourselves that you normally
suppress, might come to the surface.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Bakura**
If you encounter your shadow in the dream...
**[11:04] (Flashback) Kazuya**
What'll happen?
**[11:06] (Flashback) Bakura**
It'll attack you and try to take your place.
**[11:11] Kazumi**

Are these...
**[11:26] Osamu**
The shadows of the other
students, most likely.
**[11:29] Iraha**
That's right. And they're
all so well-behaved.
**[11:32] Iraha**
You know, people grow a lot by
grappling with their shadows.
**[11:39] Iraha**
If all of you can accept your shadows,
I'll release the others from this dream.
**[11:45] Iraha**
That way, everyone at school
will be more obedient.
**[11:49] Iraha**
That's a win for everyone, isn't it?
**[11:51] Chikao**
It isn't! You're just trying to control
your students by forcing them to obey!
**[11:55] Chikao**
We can't do as you ask.
**[11:59] Iraha**
Fair enough. In that case...
**[12:02] Iraha**
I'll have to educate you, too!
**[12:10] Iraha**
They escaped...
**[12:19] Kirio**
*What is this? How are we being forced back?!*
**[12:21] Kazumi**
I thought we were supposed
to be evenly matched!
**[12:25] Kazuya**
Even? What're you talking about?
**[12:28] Kazuya**
The two of you can only generate
three obis, including the original.
**[12:32] Kazuya**
But us?
**[12:36] Kazuya**
We can tap into all our latent strength,
**[12:39] Kazuya**
with none of the subconscious restraint.
**[12:42] Kazumi**
Eight obis?!
**[12:44] Kirio**
We have to fight back somehow!
**[12:54] Kirio**
Hey, Kazumi!
**[13:03] Kazuya**
From now on, you will be
controlled by your own shadow.

**[13:20] Isuzu**
That was the shadow of Iraha Isuzu.
**[13:24] Isuzu**
She's trying to make everyone subservient
by dragging them into this dream.
**[13:29] Chikao**
You're...
**[13:31] Isuzu**
I'm the real Iraha Isuzu.
**[13:34] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:35] Chikao**
But... you look...
**[13:37] Isuzu**
Well, we're inside a dream.
**[13:39] Isuzu**
Apparently, it's possible
to change how you look.
**[13:42] Chikao**
If you really are Iraha-sensei,
can you explain how this happened?
**[13:52] Isuzu**
My students didn't take me seriously.
**[13:55] Isuzu**
That's why they'd never listen to me,
**[13:58] Isuzu**
and I could never bring
any order to my classes.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Isuzu**
Everyone! Quiet down!
**[14:04] Isuzu**
That's what I was worrying about
when I stumbled upon that pillow.
***SIGN*** No talking!!
**[14:09] Isuzu**
Inside my dreams, I could
do exactly what I wanted.
***SIGN*** Please be quiet
**[14:14] Isuzu**
But in reality, I was the same as usual...
**[14:18] Isuzu**
And before I realized what was going on,
**[14:20] Isuzu**
I ended up dragging many
students into my dream.
**[14:25] Isuzu**
I think that's what my
shadow wanted all along.
**[14:29] Isuzu**
I managed to escape from her, and I've been
hiding from her by staying in this form.
**[14:37] Chikao**
To resolve this, we need to get
our hands on the amasogi pillow...
**[14:42] Isuzu**
I'm pretty sure the shadow Isuzu has it.
**[14:46] Chikao**
We need to think of a way to steal it.
**[14:48] Shitone**
But how? Kazumi's busy,
and if it's only us...
**[14:59] Osane**
I have an idea.
**[15:06] Iraha**
This is where you've been hiding?
**[15:09] Iraha**
Are you finally done playing hide-and-seek?
**[15:12] Isuzu**
I was wrong to hope that my dreams
could help me change for the better.
**[15:17] Isuzu**
Now, give my students back!
**[15:24] Iraha**
*A pointer?!*
**[15:25] Iraha**
*How could she do that with a pointer?!*

**[15:48] Iraha**
Oh, I see. You used yojijukugo idioms.
**[15:51] Iraha**
How fitting for a Japanese language teacher.
**[15:54] Iraha**
A power born from the dream...
**[15:59] Iraha**
But unfortunately for you,
this is a nightmare.
**[16:04] Iraha**
And if you can use this power,
then, as your shadow, so can I.

**[16:29] Kazuya**
And you can't surpass yourself.
**[16:34] Kazumi**
*Surpass myself?*
**[16:37] Kazumi**
Kirio-kun!
**[16:39] Kirio**
Right you are.
**[16:48] Kazuya**
What a waste of time.
**[16:50] Kazuya**
But... the end result is going to be same!
**[16:55] Kazumi**
*If this shadow is using all of my skills...*
**[17:00] Kazumi**
*Then I just have to go past that!*
**[17:02] Kazuya**
Take this!
**[17:05] Kazumi**
* Faster than yesterday...*

**[17:46] Isuzu**
Help!
**[17:49] Iraha**
Wh-What are those things?
**[17:55] Osane**
My sketchbook creations.
**[17:59] Shirane**
And my popularity fragrance!
**[18:01] Shirane**
I'll keep the students out of your hair!
**[18:04] Iraha**
How can ordinary students
like you do this?!
**[18:07] Osane**
These powers come from the
amasogis we were involved with.
**[18:10] Osane**
We got the idea from how Sensei
was able to change her appearance.
**[18:14] Chikao**
We'll hold her down. Use that
opportunity to get the pillow, Sensei!
**[18:21] Iraha**
You pests!
**[18:25] Iraha**
Hang on! I'll get you free!
**[18:39] Kazumi**
Sledgehammer Weave!
**[18:43] Chikao**
You're late, Kagami!
**[18:45] Kazumi**
Sorry!
**[18:46] Kazumi**
I had to help Shitone preserve
her virtue on the way here!
**[18:49] Shitone**
Crap! It works too well!
**[18:53] Chikao**
Kagami! The pillow is inside her!
**[18:55] Kirio**
Remember to have Isuzu finish it!
**[18:57] Kazumi**
Got it!
**[19:01] Kazumi**
Sensei!
**[19:02] Isuzu**
Roger that!

One Shot, One Kill!
***SIGN*** One Shot, One Kill
**[19:24] Isuzu**
Thank you. You all saved me.
**[19:28] Shitone**
All's well that ends well.
**[19:30] Chikao**
Your willpower is what won in the end.
**[19:32] Chikao**
Besides, we couldn't do much on our own...
**[19:36] Kirio**
All those acrobatics must've torn it open.
**[19:42] Kazumi**
Eek!
**[19:43] Kirio**
No worries. I can cover you up.
**[19:46] Chikao**
Hey! What're you doing?!
**[19:48] Bakura**
Hey! Good work, everyone.
**[19:53] Chikao**
Bakura-san!
**[19:54] Kirio**
Right. The amasogi's creator
destroyed it herself.
**[19:57] Bakura**
That's a relief.
**[19:59] Bakura**
I'll be waiting for you all to return.
**[20:03] Kazumi**
Wait, how do we get back?
**[20:05] Bakura**
You're inside a dream.
**[20:08] Bakura**
So if you go to sleep here,
you'll wake up in reality.
**[20:14] Osane**
I suppose we'll all head
home and go to bed, then.
**[20:19] Shitone**
Kind of an anticlimax, huh?
**[20:21] Kirio**
All right, off we go, Kazumi. Homeward bound.
**[20:26] Kazumi**
I've got a really bad feeling about this.
**[20:28] Kirio**
It's going to be a long night...
**[20:29] Bakura**
See you soon.
**[20:31] Chikao**
Hey! What are you planning to do to Kagami?!
**[20:33] Isuzu**
Hey, no inappropriate relations!

Excuse me, Takayama-kun!
Where is your homework?
**[20:41] Kazuya**
Sensei seems to be feeling a lot better.
**[20:41] ---**
Huh?
**[20:42] Isuzu**
Don't "huh" me!
**[20:44] Kirio**
That's what she's really like.
**[20:47] Kirio**
She's been repressing herself up until now.
**[20:47] Isuzu**
Think about what you did!
**[20:49] Takayama**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[20:51] Kiriha**
You're free to unleash all your pent-up
aggression on me, if you like.
**[20:56] Kazuya**
You're the one who just unleashed on me.
**[21:00] ---**
And after I told you it hurt...
**[21:02] Kiriha**
I was, er, caught up in the moment...
you know, having trouble holding back...
**[21:05] Isuzu**
Obina-san! You're not
supposed to make them cry!
**[21:08] Kiriha**
Sorry...
**[22:41] Shitone**
You can do whatever you want, Shirou-kun.
**[22:47] Shitone**
No good!
**[22:48] Shitone**
I'm not getting turned on at all!
**[22:50] Osane**
It's only natural. Right now, we're women.
**[22:54] Osane**
It stands to reason we'd be attracted to men.
**[22:57] Shitone**
Wait, hang on a second...
**[23:00] Shitone**
Maybe...
**[23:01] Shitone**
I'm just not turned on
from looking at myself!
**[23:04] Osane**
Please settle down.

"Sunao and Kotetsu."
**[02:19] Kukuri**
Whaddaya mean Kotetsu ain't wakin' up?
**[02:22] Sunao**
Well...
**[02:23] Sunao**
His hilt was repaired yesterday, and he
was sent home from the swordsmith,
**[02:27] Sunao**
but I keep calling to him,
and there's no response.
**[02:31] Sunao**
I had Honoka-sama take
a look right away, and...
**[02:36] (Flashback) Honoka**
As a tsukumogami, he's not quite dead,
**[02:40] (Flashback) Honoka**
but his spiritual strength
is just about gone.
**[02:42] (Flashback) Honoka**
If he doesn't wake soon, you'll have
nothing but a regular sword left.
**[02:46] Kazuya**
That's terrible!
Is there anything you can do?
**[02:49] Sunao**
She told me there was one option.
**[02:53] Kukuri**
An echo stone from the Cave
of the Divine Navel, huh?
**[02:55] Kazuya**
An echo stone?
**[02:57] Kukuri**
It's an altar made from stone
**[02:59] Kukuri**
that's been bathin' in spirit
energy for hundreds of years.
**[03:03] Kukuri**
It's become a kinda spiritual amplifier
**[03:07] Kukuri**
that can even let people
hear the voices of objects
**[03:09] Kukuri**
that ain't become tsukumogami yet.
**[03:12] Kukuri**
That oughta let you talk
to Kotetsu, all right.
**[03:16] Kazuya**
Wait, so why didn't you
head straight there?
**[03:21] Sunao**
Well...
**[03:23] (Flashback) Honoka**
The Cave of the Divine Navel
is a spiritually unstable spot.
**[03:27] (Flashback) Honoka**
There's no telling what could happen.
**[03:29] (Flashback) Honoka**
Right now, you're just a
normal human with a sword.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Honoka**
It's too great a risk to let you go alone.
**[03:37] Sunao**
Since the Divine Navel can amplify
the voices of even inanimate objects,
**[03:42] Sunao**
someone as powerful as Honoka-sama
can't go with me, either.
**[03:46] Kazuya**
I see.
**[03:48] Kiriha**
Indeed. And that's where we come in, yes?
**[03:51] Kiriha**
Very well, then. In that case,
let's get a move on.
**[03:54] Kazuya**
Right now?
**[03:56] Kiriha**
Yes, right now!

The room even has a bath attached to it!
**[04:12] Kazuya**
A room like this has to cost a fortune!
**[04:14] Kazuya**
I don't have that kind of money!
**[04:17] Kiriha**
Would you calm yourself?
Our accommodations have been arranged for.
**[04:20] Kazuya**
Really?
**[04:21] Kiriha**
Indeed. We already had
our tickets, didn't we?
**[04:25] Kazuya**
You've got a point.
**[04:26] Kiriha**
Hey! That's enough sulking, Sunao.
**[04:29] Kiriha**
You get to indulge a bit
on someone else's coin.
**[04:32] Kiriha**
Why not enjoy yourself?
**[04:34] Sunao**
Sorry... I was just thinking about
what I'll say to Kotetsu tomorrow.
**[04:40] Kazuya**
Just tell him how you really feel.
**[04:42] Kiriha**
He's right. That's what Kotetsu
would want to hear, as well.
**[04:47] Sunao**
I've treated Kotetsu terribly all this time.
**[04:51] Sunao**
I want to give him a
real apology tomorrow.
**[05:05] Kazuya**
I don't necessarily need
to be in here, do I?
**[05:08] Kiriha**
What're you on about?
Don't waste an opportunity for mixed bathing.
**[05:11] Sunao**
If you insist, Kiriha-sama...
**[05:17] Kiriha**
Oh, come now. Someone's being bashful.
**[05:21] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[05:23] Kiriha**
You really should make sure it's clean.
**[05:25] Kiriha**
No telling what kind of
use it might see tonight.
**[05:28] Kazuya**
It won't be doing anything!
**[05:29] Kazuya**
C-Cut it out!
**[05:35] Kiriha**
Well, Sunao...
**[05:37] Kiriha**
Do you want Kazuya to wash you?
**[05:44] Kiriha**
What a feast!
**[05:46] Kiriha**
Eat, now! Don't let an opportunity
like this pass you by!
**[05:51] Kazuya**
We should eat.
**[05:53] Kazuya**
I'm not sure we can finish it all, though.
**[05:55] Kiriha**
Oh, that looks good, too!
**[05:58] Kiriha**
Now, feed me!
**[05:59] ---**
Sheesh...
**[06:00] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, this isn't
exactly good table manners.
**[06:06] Kiriha**
How dare you feed me
wasabi, you imbecile?!
**[06:08] Kazuya**
You were literally asking for it!
**[06:10] Kiriha**
That one next.
**[06:11] Kazuya**
Come on, you can feed yourself.
**[06:14] Kiriha**
This really is quite good!
**[06:22] Sunao**
You two sleep together?!
**[06:24] Kazuya**
She always forces the issue...
**[06:27] Kiriha**
What are you talking about?
I know you love it.
**[06:29] ---**
"Always"?
**[06:31] Kazuya**
You just have no concept of restraint!
**[06:34] Kiriha**
Less talk, more service!
**[06:36] Kazuya**
Hey! Stop grinding on me!
**[06:36] Kiriha**
There, there, there!
**[06:39] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[06:40] Kiriha**
What? Finally in the mood?
**[06:42] Kazuya**
No! We should be more considerate.
**[06:45] Kazuya**
Sunao-san's sad because
she can't see Kotetsu-kun.
**[06:49] Kazuya**
I feel bad about the two of us getting
along too well in front of her.
**[06:53] Kiriha**
You don't understand a thing.
**[06:56] Kiriha**
Sunao's mistaken about something.
**[06:58] Kiriha**
Even if she's able to
see Kotetsu tomorrow,
**[07:01] Kiriha**
I don't think she'll be able to
bring him back as things stand.
**[07:04] Kazuya**
But why?
**[07:06] Kiriha**
Because she doesn't understand
how Kotetsu feels.
**[07:10] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, do you know why
Kotetsu-kun isn't waking up?!
**[07:13] Kiriha**
Of course. I'm a tsukumogami
myself, you know.
**[07:18] Kiriha**
I believe Honoka and Kukuri know, as well.
**[07:20] Kazuya**
Then shouldn't somebody tell her?!
**[07:22] Kiriha**
Imbecile. This isn't the kind of
thing you can just explain away.
**[07:26] Kazuya**
But what if she doesn't catch on?
**[07:31] Kiriha**
Which is why, in order to
make her realize the truth...
**[07:35] Kazuya**
Yeah?
**[07:36] Kiriha**
We are going to continue to fool around!
**[07:38] ---**
But why?!
**[07:41] Kiriha**
How do you like that, then?!
**[07:53] Sunao**
Kotetsu!
**[07:55] Sunao**
What's wrong, Kotetsu?
Are you feeling sick?
**[08:00] Sunao**
Listen, there's something
I really need to tell you.
**[08:05] Sunao**
After everything I've done—
**[08:07] Kotetsu**
I'm sorry.
**[08:09] Sunao**
No! I'm the one who should apologize.
**[08:12] Sunao**
Ever since I was little, I always—
**[08:14] Kotetsu**
I'm so useless.
**[08:16] Sunao**
No! That was—
**[08:18] Kotetsu**
I'm the reason your brother died.
**[08:21] Sunao**
Listen to me! The truth is—
**[08:24] Kotetsu**
Because I'm just a tool.
**[08:29] Kotetsu**
I'm sorry, Sunao-sama.
**[08:31] Sunao**
Kotetsu...
**[08:32] Kotetsu**
I can't stay with you anymore.
**[08:36] Sunao**
Kotetsu!

This is the Cave of the Divine Navel?
**[10:03] Kazuya**
Looks deep.
**[10:05] Kiriha**
I can already feel the spiritual pressure.
**[10:10] Kazuya**
Sunao-san, slow down! It's dangerous!

She's too tense...

I blamed you for my brother
dying, called you a tool...
**[12:07] Sunao**
You're not waking up because
you hate me, right?

And that's fine...

**[12:30] Sunao**
Kotetsu...
**[12:40] Kiriha**
They're amasogi!
**[12:45] Kiriha**
Obi Jab!
**[12:52] Kazuya**
They're after Kotetsu-kun?
**[12:55] Sunao**
Are these...
**[12:57] Sunao**
The amasogi that Kotetsu
and I exorcised?!
**[13:01] Kiriha**
If the echo stone created them...
**[13:05] Kiriha**
then they're Kotetsu's feelings!
**[13:07] Kiriha**
You could call them the
manifestation of his self-doubt!
**[13:10] Kiriha**
If they reach him, he's done for!
**[13:12] Kiriha**
Keep calling out to Kotetsu, Sunao!
**[13:15] Kiriha**
We'll occupy them in the meantime!
**[13:21] Kiriha**
You have to give Kotetsu
what he really wants!
**[13:25] Sunao**
Kotetsu! Kotetsu!
**[13:27] Sunao**
*What he really wants?*
**[13:32] Sunao**
*It's not an apology from me?*
**[13:38] Kazuya**
There's no end to them!
**[13:41] Kiriha**
Stay on your toes!
**[13:43] Sunao**
I don't understand...
**[13:45] Sunao**
Kotetsu.
**[13:47] Sunao**
Kotetsu...
**[13:50] Sunao**
Kotetsu!
**[13:55] Kotetsu**
*I can hear Sunao-sama's voice.*
**[13:58] Kotetsu**
* But I bet I'm just hearing*
* it because I want to.*
**[14:04] Kotetsu**
*I was never any help to her.*
**[14:08] Kotetsu**
*And I let Suou-sama die.*
**[14:11] Kotetsu**
* Even if I wake up, I know*
* what Sunao-sama will say...*
**[14:16] Kotetsu**
*"I don't need you."*
**[14:18] Suou**
You must be terrified of hearing those words.
**[14:23] Kotetsu**
Suou-sama?
**[14:25] Kotetsu**
It's because I let you...
**[14:29] Suou**
That's not what you need right now.
**[14:33] Suou**
You're a sword. Fear and doubt
will only dull your edge.
**[14:39] Suou**
You need to focus on what
you want the most instead.
**[14:45] Kotetsu**
*What I want the most?*
**[14:58] Kiriha**
That's the aberration that
killed Sunao's brother!
**[15:04] Kiriha**
It's not like the weaklings
we've been dealing with.
**[15:07] Kiriha**
Be on your guard!
**[15:10] Kazuya**
Right!
**[15:24] Kiriha**
Kazuya!
**[15:32] Sunao**
Stop!
**[15:37] Sunao**
Kotetsu!
**[15:40] Kazuya**
You can't, Sunao-san!
**[15:42] Sunao**
Let go of me!
**[15:44] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, let's use Divine Possession!
**[15:47] Kiriha**
We can't!
**[15:48] Kazuya**
Why?!
**[15:49] Kiriha**
If Divine Possession runs out before
we can finish it off, we will all die!
**[15:54] Kazuya**
But...
**[15:55] Kiriha**
This amasogi's strength is a reflection
of the strength of Kotetsu's self-doubt.
**[16:01] Kiriha**
If Kotetsu won't wake up, I don't think...
**[16:06] Sunao**
Kotetsu!
**[16:15] Sunao**
No...
**[16:19] Sunao**
I...
**[16:22] Sunao**
I wanted to apologize...
**[16:26] Sunao**
I just wanted him to live on...
**[16:33] Kotetsu**
*Sunao-sama is crying?*
**[16:36] Kotetsu**
*Please don't cry.*
**[16:38] Kotetsu**
*I want to protect her. To help her.*
**[16:43] Kotetsu**
*That's all I...*
**[16:47] Sunao**
*That's all I...*
**[16:49] Sunao**
*All I wanted...*
**[16:57] Sunao**
No.
**[17:02] Sunao**
That's not all.
**[17:06] Sunao**
I finally understand.
**[17:09] Sunao**
I...
**[17:10] Kotetsu**
*I...*
**[17:13] Sunao**
...want to be...
**[17:13] Kotetsu**
*...want to be...*
**[17:18] Kotetsu**
..with Sunao-sama!
**[17:18] Sunao**
...with Kotetsu!
**[17:35] Sunao**
Kotetsu...
**[17:36] Kotetsu**
I'm so sorry, Sunao-sama.
**[17:39] Kotetsu**
I... I thought you didn't
want me anymore...
**[17:44] Kotetsu**
That you didn't need me anymore,
and I was so scared!
**[17:51] Sunao**
Dummy! You should know better!
**[17:54] Sunao**
I'm the one who needs to apologize!
**[17:58] Kotetsu**
Sunao-sama!
**[18:00] Sunao**
Kotetsu!
**[18:04] Kazuya**
What a relief!
**[18:07] Kirha**
Would you stop bawling?
**[18:10] Kazuya**
Wait, the amasogi—
**[18:19] Kazuya**
That's...
**[18:23] Kiriha**
Considering how connected
they are, it's only natural.
**[18:30] Kazuya**
Divine Possession.
**[18:36] Kazuya**
Seriously, I am so glad that
Kotetsu-kun made it back!
**[18:41] Kiriha**
This is tedious. How long do
you intend to keep sobbing?
**[18:46] Kazuya**
But...
**[18:47] Kiriha**
Look, the problem's been resolved.
**[18:50] Kiriha**
We should take this night to relax.
**[18:53] Kiriha**
Especially given the state she's in.
**[18:57] Sunao**
What the heck is this?!
**[18:59] Kotesu**
Sunao-sama!
**[19:01] Kazuya**
It's kind of like a side effect
of the Divine Possession...
**[19:04] Kotetsu**
A side effect?!
**[19:06] Kotetsu**
Wh-Wh-What's going to happen to her?!
**[19:08] Kiriha**
Relax. She'll just be too
exhausted to move for a night.
**[19:14] Kotetsu**
Oh, no! Sunao-sama!
**[19:17] Kiriha**
That being the case,
make sure you take care of her.
**[19:28] Kotetsu**
I can't see a thing!
**[19:30] Kazuya**
Why am I blindfolded?
**[19:33] Sunao**
You've got to be kidding me...
**[19:37] Kiriha**
Time to wash all the sweat,
tears, and other miscellany away!
**[19:44] Kotetsu**
E-Excuse me, then...
**[19:47] Sunao**
Where are you touching?!
**[19:48] Kauzya**
I don't have an answer for that...
**[19:51] Kotetsu**
I-I'm so sorry! I really have no idea!
**[19:58] Sunao**
I can't deal with this!
**[20:00] Kazuya**
You'll have to help her with
the toilet as well, mind you.
**[20:03] Sunao**
Absolutely not!

**[20:09] K & S**
Thank you for everything.
**[20:11] Kukuri**
Good to have ya back. Yes, indeedy.
**[20:17] Kiriha**
The thought of your

**[20:20] Kiriha**
is enough to cause this
kind of commotion.
**[20:23] Kiriha**
Tsugumomo are quite fragile creatures.
**[20:27] Kiriha**

**[20:29] Kazuya**
No need to worry. I want to be

**[20:36] Sunao**
You even paid for our stay...
I can't begin to thank you enough.
**[20:43] Kukuri**

Right. Take her away!
**[21:07] Taguri**
Come along, now.
**[21:09] Taguri**
This will be fun.
**[21:13] Kukuri**
Why?! What the heck?!
**[21:15] Kazuya**
Were our expenses paid by...
**[21:17] Kiirha**
Correct.
**[21:18] Kiirha**
Taguri paid for it all in exchange for
Kukuri staying over for three days.
**[21:23] Kukuri**
No!

**[00:00] Kiriha**
Someone talked you into it?!
**[00:02] Iraha**
Yes. After we left the dream,
it started coming back to me.
**[00:07] Iraha**
I think the pillow was
given to me by someone.
**[00:11] Kiriha**
What?!
**[00:12] Kiriha**
And just who was it?!
**[00:14] Iraha**
I can't remember it very clearly.
**[00:16] Iraha**
I think it may have been a student.
**[00:18] Kazuya**
Do you think someone is
trying to cause trouble?
**[00:22] Kiirha**
Most likely.
**[00:24] Kiirha**
The way the shoe amasogi went berserk...
**[00:26] Kiirha**
And the matter of the underpants amasogi...
**[00:29] Kiirha**
It all seems a little too convenient
to be simple malison disturbances.
**[00:33] Kiirha**
If someone were arranging them,
it'd go a long way toward explaining it.
**[00:37] Kazuya**
But why would someone do that?
**[00:39] Kiriha**
I have no answer to that,
but we'll need to be on our guard.
**[00:43] Mimane**
Aw, this is so, so, so boring!
**[00:48] Yasuki**
Quiet down, Mimane.
**[00:51] Mimane**
But things were just getting
fun thanks to that pillow!
**[00:55] Mimane**
And then those two had to mess it up *again*!
**[00:58] Mimane**
Let's just kick their butts already!
**[01:00] Akito**
Not happening. We promised
not to do anything to them.
**[01:05] Mimane**
What's up with you, Akito?!
**[01:06] Mimane**
Fine, then! I'll do it by myself!
**[01:12] Akito**
Both of you, stop!
**[01:16] Akito**
I apologize, Azami.
I'll talk some sense into Mimane.
**[01:20] Azami**
Keep your promise.
**[01:22] Azami**
Or no more help.
**[01:25] Azami**
You're the ones short on time.
**[01:31] Yasuki**
Can we really trust her?
**[01:34] Yasuki**
We still have no idea who
she is or what she's after.
**[01:37] Arumi**
She was the only clue that my
fortune pointed us toward.
**[01:40] Arumi**
I believe we should do as she says for now.
**[01:43] Akito**
No matter who she is, we need her help.
**[01:47] Mimane**
Meh!
**[01:49] Akito**
*That's right. This is all to obtain a shard.*
**[01:53] Akito**
*If we can manage that, we'll be saved.*

**[03:42] Akito**
*At a certain house,*
**[03:43] Akito**
*there were three tools that had been
lovingly used for three generations.*
**[03:47] Akito**
* At around the same time,*
* they ascended, becoming tsukumogami.*
**[03:52] (Flashback) Hifumi**
We tsukumogami want to be of use to you.
**[03:55] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Please, direct us as you see fit.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Hifumi**
But first, we have three wishes
we would like you to agree to,
**[04:02] (Flashback) Hifumi**
after which we will share our true names
with you, and accept you as our master.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Master**
Very well. What are they?
**[04:09] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Right...
**[04:10] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Since the three of us are sworn siblings,
**[04:14] (Flashback) Hifumi**
we ask that you allow us to stay together.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Hifumi**
And while we are tools,
we do have personhood, as well,
**[04:23] (Flashback) Hifumi**
and would like to be treated as such.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Finally, there are limitations
to the powers of tsukumogami,
**[04:30] (Flashback) Hifumi**
so we ask that you do not demand
more than is safe to provide.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Master**
Very well.
**[04:37] (Flashback) Master**
I welcome you all as guests in this house.
**[04:42] Akito**
* Arumi, the crystal ball,*
* has the power to see the future,*
**[04:47] Akito**
* but her predictions become less*
* accurate the further she is,*
**[04:49] Akito**
*in both time and distance, from the subject.*
**[04:51] Akito**
*She was mostly used to gain insight into*
**[04:53] Akito**
* the immediate future and to*
* help make major decisions.*
**[04:58] Akito**
*As a pair of scissors,*
**[04:59] Akito**
* I may not be a weapon,*
* but I do have an edge.*
**[05:02] Akito**
* That meant I was skilled in combat*
* and used as a bodyguard.*
**[05:06] Akito**
*And the one who saw the most use...*
**[05:10] Akito**
*was Hifumi, a die that could manipulate fate.*
**[05:14] Akito**
* Since her rolls could result in good luck,*
* she served a far more critical role.*
**[05:21] Akito**
* We were honored to see how much*
* our master relied on Hifumi,*
**[05:25] Akito**
*and were proud of her for it.*
**[05:27] (Flashback) Hifumi**
You think I'm more amazing?
What are you talking about?
**[05:31] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Arumi can see the future
and help avoid danger.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Akito is strong enough to protect people.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Hifumi**
It's about who's right for the job,
and we all serve our purpose well!
**[05:42] (Flashback) Hifumi**
You two need more confidence!
**[05:45] (Flashback) Arumi**
As long as we're able to make people happy.
**[05:55] Akito**
*We lived peaceful lives, for a while.*
**[06:03] Akito**
*But then...*
**[06:11] Akito**
* After a while, strange monsters*
* began to appear in the village.*
**[06:16] Akito**
* And around the same time,*
* Hifumi began to lose her strength.*
**[06:20] Akito**
*Naturally, we had questions.*
**[06:23] (Flashback) Hifumi**
My die...
**[06:25] (Flashback) Hifumi**
It can manipulate fate based on the rolls,
**[06:28] (Flashback) Hifumi**
but not always for the better.
**[06:33] (Flashback) Hifumi**
Should it roll a one, it brings
misfortune to whomever rolls it...
**[06:37] (Flashback) Hifumi**
And if you continue to roll in spite of that,
**[06:41] (Flashback) Hifumi**
the misfortune accumulates into a curse...
**[06:43] (Flashback) Hifumi**
One that turns people into monsters.
**[06:47] Akito**
* Our master had become obsessed*
* with Hifumi's powers.*
**[06:53] Akito**
* To ensure he would have only good luck,*
* he would hire villagers to roll the die...*
**[07:00] Akito**
* and have them continue*
* until they became monsters.*
**[07:05] Akito**
*She tried to stop him, but...*
**[07:09] (Flashback) Master**
And you don't care what
becomes of the other two?
**[07:15] Akito**
*And so she was forced into compliance.*
**[07:21] Akito**
* We told the villagers the truth*
* about what was happening.*
**[07:25] Akito**
* We thought we were saving*
* them, as well as Hifumi.*
**[07:31] Akito**
*But...*
**[07:33] Akito**
*It didn't work out that way.*
**[07:36] Akito**
* The rage of the villagers showed no mercy*
* to the tool that had been used against them.*
**[07:51] Akito**
*Hifumi... All of us...*
**[07:54] Akito**
*All we wanted was to be of use.*
**[08:07] Akito**
* After leaving the village, we served*
* several new masters, one after another.*
**[08:12] Akito**
* But every time, they would*
* inevitably disappoint us...*
**[08:16] Akito**
*until, after fleeing our fourteenth master,*
**[08:19] Akito**
* we lost all interest in*
* serving anyone ever again.*
**[08:26] Akito**
* A tsukumogami without a master*
* loses their strength over time.*
**[08:31] Akito**
* As we wandered, we began to*
* sense our end approaching.*
**[09:03] Akito**
*It was then...*
**[09:07] Akito**
*that the door opened.*
**[09:12] (Flashback) Akito**
Where are we?
**[09:18] (Flashback) Arumi**
Stop!
**[09:24] (Flashback) Akito**
Who's there?!
**[09:29] (Flashback) Akito**
We mean no harm! Please, lower your bow!
**[09:33] (Flashback) Akito**
We wandered in here,
following a strange red bowl!
**[09:36] (Flashback) Akito**
If we aren't welcome, we will leave!
**[09:40] (Flashback) Akito**
Arumi, I don't think he's willing to talk.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Arumi**
Right.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Arumi**
Three. Four. Half.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Arumi**
One. Seven. Half.
**[09:52] (Flashback) Arumi**
Two. Five.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Yasuki**
Foresight? In that case...
**[09:56] (Flashback) Arumi**
He's using fire!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Arumi**
Two beats from now, a radius of ten jou!

*But...*
**[10:12] Akito**
*I don't know if I can do it again.*
**[10:14] Akito**
*What do I do?!*
**[10:16] (Flashback) Mimane**
Wow! What was that, huh?!
**[10:20] (Flashback) Mimane**
So neat! Where are you from?
What do you want?
**[10:23] (Flashback) Mimane**
What are these? Scissors?

**[10:49] (Flashback) Tanmen**
So, I am the elder of this village,
Tanmen the bowl tsukumogami.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Everyone calls me Old Bowl.
**[10:58] Akito**
* A tsukumogami's true form can give away*
* a lot about their powers and weaknesses.*
**[11:03] Akito**
* Is he trying to demonstrate*
* that he means us no harm?*
**[11:07] (Flashback) Akito**
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Akito, a pair of scissors.
**[11:10] (Flashback) Arumi**
I'm Arumi, the crystal ball.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Tanmen**
I'd like to welcome the two of
you to Mayoiga, the lost village.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Tanmen**
I also apologize for the reception
our guard, Yasuki, gave you.
**[11:23] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Terribly sorry.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Tanmen**
There's a limit to the number of
tsukumogami we can welcome here.
**[11:29] (Flashback) Tanmen**
And more than anything, we can't have the
gods or their hounds finding our village.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Akito**
It's all right. But I'd like to
know more about this place.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Akito**
Everyone here is a tsukumogami...
**[11:46] (Flashback) Akito**
And I don't sense the presence of any humans.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Akito**
We were on the verge of losing all
strength before arriving here,
**[11:53] (Flashback) Akito**
but we're both feeling much better now.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Akito**
Where does this power come from?
**[11:59] (Flashback) Tanmen**
A long time ago,
**[12:01] (Flashback) Tanmen**
there was a house tsukumogami
that had a grand black front gate.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Tanmen**
The terrible treatment our kind
was receiving wounded his heart,
**[12:12] (Flashback) Tanmen**
and he wished that tsukumogami
could survive without humans.
**[12:16] (Flashback) ---**
And thus, he became our
paradise himself: our Mayoiga.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Akito**
This place can support all these
tsukumogami without any humans?!
**[12:26] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Unfortunately, I can't answer
all your questions yet.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Tanmen**
But rest assured, this place
is a paradise for tsukumogami.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Tanmen**
I imagine the two of you have become
fed up with humans as well, yes?
**[12:38] (Flashback) Tanmen**
You're welcome to remain here, as one of us.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Akito**
Thank you, sir.
**[12:47] Akito**
* After we arrived in Mayoiga, it wasn't*
* long before we began to fit in.*
**[12:54] (Flashback) Mimane**
This sucks!
**[12:55] Akito**
* Mimane, the mirror, was always*
* looking for things to amuse her.*
**[12:59] (Flashback) Mimane**
Huh? And then? Eh?
**[12:59] Akito**
* When we first arrived, she would buffet us*
* with questions from morning to night.*
**[13:02] (Flashback) Mimane**
What? But why?
**[13:03] Akito**
*Even Arumi and I grew tired of it.*
**[13:03] (Flashback) Mimane**
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
**[13:06] Akito**
*Yasuki the bow was the exact opposite,*
**[13:09] Akito**
*speaking only when necessary.*
**[13:12] (Flashback) Yasuki**
I apologize for before.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Yasuki**
Mimane starts to sulk about wanting to leave
the village whenever newcomers appear.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Akito**
*That's* why you were shooting at us?
**[13:25] Akito**
* He made a terrible first impression,*
* but it seems he's really just overprotective.*
**[13:36] (Flashback) Chikage**
Not bad at all!
**[13:38] Akito**
* Chikage, the spear, is said to be*
* the fiercest warrior in Mayoiga.*
**[13:42] Akito**
* Old Bowl trusts her implicitly, and she*
* would often organize the other tsukumogami.*
**[13:42] (Flashback) Chikage**
Up for another round?
**[13:44] (Flashback) Akito**
Yes, please.
**[13:47] Akito**
* With no domineering or greedy*
* humans to be found,*
**[13:51] Akito**
* Mayoiga really was a*
* paradise for tsukumogami.*
**[13:55] Akito**
*But it had its mysteries, as well.*
**[14:00] (Flashback) Akito**
A bath like this, inside a house?
**[14:04] Akito**
* What was the power that*
* kept the village going?*
**[14:07] Akito**
* Why did Old Bowl let us in after telling*
* us there was a limit to the population?*
**[14:13] Akito**
*And why were they hiding from the gods?*
**[14:16] Akito**
*Even Mimane wouldn't offer any answers.*
**[14:21] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Fitting in well, son?
**[14:25] (Flashback) Akito**
Yes.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Tanmen**
That's good to hear.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Out of curiosity, have you known
that Arumi girl for a while?
**[14:34] (Flashback) Akito**
Yes, we're like siblings. We've known each
other for as long as we can remember.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Tanmen**
I see.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Tanmen**
A very nice ass on that one.
**[14:48] Akito**
*A great deal of time then passed.*
**[14:52] Akito**
* We had started to consider the*
* village our second birthplace.*
**[14:58] Akito**
*But one day...*
**[15:00] (Flashback) Villager**
Everyone, come quickly!
**[15:02] (Flashback) Villager**
It's Danjurou and Kirihime...
**[15:05] (Flashback) Akito**
They've reverted to their original forms?
**[15:08] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Lost their spiritual power.
**[15:11] (Flashback) Akito**
I thought that couldn't happen here?
**[15:14] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Arumi, Akito... I need to
speak with the two of you.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Akito**
Where are we?
**[15:23] (Flashback) Tanmen**
The center of Mayoiga.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Tanmen**
A hallway that leads to the cornerstone
everything was built on.
**[15:28] (Flashback) Tanmen**
This is the tsukumogami
of the lost village...
**[15:34] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Miurahi-sama.
**[15:37] (Flashback) Arumi**
He's mummified?
**[15:40] (Flashback) Akito**
How did he end up like this?
**[15:44] (Flashback) Tanmen**
It began over a thousand years ago...
**[15:48] (Flashback) Tanmen**
There was a volcanic eruption,
and a resulting catastrophe.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Tanmen**
As the people began to starve and suffer,
**[15:53] (Flashback) Tanmen**
the tsukumogami that served
them suffered from abuse...
**[15:56] (Flashback) Tanmen**
and many lost their power as a result.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Miurahi-sama regretted this deeply,
and appealed to the god of this region.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Tanmen**
He wished to create a place where
tsukumogami on the verge of
**[16:10] (Flashback) Tanmen**
passing away could rest, if only temporarily.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Tanmen**
But his wish fell upon deaf ears.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Tanmen**
The god whose duty was to look after
that area shirked their responsibility.
**[16:23] (Flashback) Tanmen**
And as he saw his fellows fall one by one,
**[16:26] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Miurahi-sama gathered a chosen
group of tsukumogami...
**[16:34] (Flashback) Tanmen**
and slew the region's god.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Akito**
That's why you all fear the gods...
**[16:40] (Flashback) Akito**
But why kill one?
**[16:42] (Flashback) Tanmen**
For a shard.
**[16:43] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Gods who are entrusted with a region to
oversee carry a shard within themselves.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Tanmen**
A fragment of the pillar, Ame-no-Mihashira.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Crystallized malison, capable of dictating
the nature of existence itself.
**[16:57] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Miurahi-sama embedded the
shard within himself,
**[17:01] (Flashback) Tanmen**
obtaining the very power of a god.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Tanmen**
But the power was immense,
**[17:06] (Flashback) Tanmen**
with even the slightest wavering thought
growing into a maelstrom, given form.
**[17:11] (Flashback) Tanmen**
So Miurahi-sama decided to
sever his own consciousness,
**[17:14] (Flashback) Tanmen**
meditating on the sole purpose of
**[17:16] (Flashback) Tanmen**
maintaining Mayoiga,
until he was mummified.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Tanmen**
But that shard is on the verge
of losing its strength...
**[17:23] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Seeing this inevitability,
Miurahi-sama had us seek out tsukumogami
**[17:28] (Flashback) Tanmen**
who have grown tired of the ways of men.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Akito**
You mean...
**[17:31] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Correct.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Tanmen**
In order to obtain another shard,
we must once again slay a god.
**[17:39] Akito**
* I see. That definitely isn't the kind of*
* thing you tell someone on their first day here.*
**[17:44] Akito**
*Killing a god isn't a simple task.*
**[17:47] Akito**
* Even if it succeeds, it means becoming*
* the target of a divine vendetta.*
**[17:52] Akito**
* Now that we know the truth, if we*
* refuse, we'll probably be killed.*
**[17:55] Akito**
*Could the two of us escape?*
**[17:58] Akito**
* But that would mean more*
* hardship for Arumi...*
**[18:03] Akito**
*I don't want to lose anyone else.*
**[18:07] Akito**
*Never again.*
**[18:13] (Flashback) Arumi**
I feel the same way, brother.
**[18:25] Akito**
* As the limit of the shard's power*
* drew near, our planning commenced*
**[18:29] Akito**
* with the selection of the god*
* who would be the best target.*
**[18:33] (Flashback) Tanmen**
The god we killed before, Iwanagahime,
**[18:36] (Flashback) Tanmen**
had grown weak after using
her power to cope with a famine.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Regardless, facing her with 108 powerful
tsukumogami still resulted in a battle
**[18:46] (Flashback) Tanmen**
that lasted seven days and nights,
with over a hundred casualties.
**[18:51] (Flashback) Tanmen**
As such, the gods still seek to punish us.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Tanmen**
Which means we cannot afford to make
any moves that will get us noticed.
**[18:59] (Flashback) Akito**
Arumi.
**[19:00] (Flashback) Arumi**
Right.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Arumi**
My power, High Foresight,
**[19:11] (Flashback) Arumi**
should be able to show us the path
that leads to the future we desire.
**[19:17] Akito**
* Arumi's predictions can*
* only be used once a month.*
**[19:20] Akito**
*So, once a month, we had her take a look.*
**[19:24] Akito**
* Every time, the crystal ball*
* showed nothing but*
**[19:27] Akito**
* the villagers of Mayoiga,*
* with nothing out of the ordinary.*
**[19:29] Akito**
* Which meant that staying the current*
* course would be for the best.*
**[19:34] Akito**
* But more villagers lost their*
* strength as time passed...*
**[19:38] (Flashback) Villagers**
Hey, woman! Are these predictions any good?!
**[19:43] (Flashback) Villagers**
It's been thirty years now,
with nothing to show for it!
**[19:46] (Flashback) Arumi**
If the results are the same,
that means we're doing the right thing.
**[19:46] Akito**
* Some of the tsukumogami demanded*
* that we take immediate action.*
**[19:49] (Flashback) Arumi**
It's not time to act yet...
**[19:50] (Flashback) Villagers**
Don't be a fool!
**[19:52] Akito**
* But not long after that, there was a*
* change in the crystal ball's vision...*
**[19:57] (Flashback) Tanmen**
What is that?
**[19:59] Akito**
* A black shape was revealed*
* within the crystal ball.*
**[20:02] Akito**
* And just as we had seen, we found it*
* in a forest among the mountains.*
**[20:09] (Flashback) Akito**
It'd be dangerous to approach.
**[20:11] (Flashback) Chikage**
True enough, but someone's
decided to scout ahead.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Mimane**
Wow, what is this thing?!
**[20:16] (Flashback) Yasuki**
Mimane!
**[20:22] Akito**
* The black shape seemed to attack anyone*
* who approached, almost defensively.*
**[20:27] Akito**
* We attacked from every direction,*
* and were able to capture it.*
**[20:30] (Flashback) Mimane**
Blood Mirror!
**[20:32] (Flashback) Mimane**
Gotcha!
**[20:37] (Flashback) Tanmen**
And this is the lead that
the fortune led us to?
**[20:55] Akito**
* The black obi tsukumogami who appeared*
* before us said her name was Azami.*
**[21:01] Akito**
*She didn't share much else about herself...*
**[21:05] Akito**
*But the fortune turned out to be true.*
**[21:08] Akito**
* She knew which regional god was at their*
* weakest, and how to weaken them further.*
**[21:13] Akito**
* She had the exact information*
* our village needed.*
**[21:19] Akito**
* So, with Azami's guidance,*
* we headed toward that region.*
**[21:24] Akito**
* That was where we encountered*
* another Azami, who was waiting.*
**[21:29] ---**
*She gave us three conditions for her help.*
**[21:33] ---**
*We had to give rise to*
**[21:34] ---**
* supernatural aberrations that would*
* drain the regional god's strength,*
**[21:37] ---**
*continue doing so until Azami said to stop...*
**[21:41] ---**
*and stay away from the malison exorcists.*
**[21:45] ---**
* We agreed to her conditions,*
* and have been acting as she requested.*
**[21:49] (Flashback) Akito**
We can't afford to lose Azami's help yet.
**[21:53] (Flashback) Akito**
Keep that in mind.
**[21:56] (Flashback) Mimane**
Fine.
**[22:17] Kiriha**
Hey! Sorry for the wait.
**[22:20] Kazuya**
It's okay.
**[22:21] Kazuya**
But that new game hasn't been installed yet.
**[22:24] Kiriha**
Say what?!
**[22:26] Kiriha**
Why in the—
**[24:00] (Flashback) Arumi**
I can't believe Mayoiga
even has a hot spring.
**[24:04] (Flashback) Mimane**
Impressive, huh?
**[24:15] (Flashback) Mimane**
Hey, hey! What exactly is
your relationship with Akito?
**[24:20] (Flashback) Arumi**
We're sworn siblings who were
born in the same storehouse.
**[24:24] (Flashback) Mimane**
Sworn siblings? What is that?
So you're not lovers?
**[24:28] (Flashback) Arumi**
Lovers?! He and I would never...
**[24:31] (Flashback) Mimane**
Huh? But why not?
**[24:35] (Flashback) Mimane**
These are huge!
**[24:37] (Flashback) Mimane**
And he never does this?
**[24:39] (Flashback) Arumi**
He does not!
**[24:40] (Flashback) Mimane**
Why not? They're so big!
**[24:42] (Flashback) Arumi**
I don't know!
**[24:43] (Flashback) Mimane**
Hey, you're different here, too!
Let me see, come on!
**[24:47] (Flashback) Arumi**
Wha... S-Stop!

Welcome to the combat

You suck at this, Akito!
**[02:00] Akito**
You didn't catch anything yourself.
**[02:02] Akito**
Haven't you had enough fun?
**[02:04] Mimane**
Nope! You said you'd take
me out for the whole day!
**[02:08] Mimane**
And you've gotta actually entertain me!

Okay, fine...
**[02:12] Game**
Ironman Fist*!*
**[02:15] Mimane**
I wanna play you in that!
**[02:20] Kazuya**
Wh-What the?!
**[02:22] Mimane**
Hey, it's that guy! Kagami Kazuya!
**[02:27] Kazuya**
Could you get down?
**[02:28] Akito**
*The malison exorcist and his tsugumomo!*
**[02:29] Kiriha**
Is this a friend of yours?
**[02:31] Akito**
* I've been able to keep an eye on*
* them by pretending to be a student,*
**[02:35] Akito**
*but I didn't expect to run into him here...*
**[02:38] Mimane**
Kiriha's here, too!
**[02:40] Kiriha**
Have we met?
**[02:42] Akito**
*Try and bluff through this, Mimane!*
**[02:44] Mimane**
Let's see...
**[02:46] Mimane**
I'm Miyou Mimane! I go to
the same school as you guys!
**[02:51] Kiriha**
You look more like an
elementary school student.
**[02:53] Akito**
* W-Well, that should work,*
* but we need to get out of here...*
**[02:56] Mimane**
Akito!
**[02:56] Mimane**
Let's play with Kazuya!
**[02:59] Akito**
*That idiot!*
**[03:00] Kazuya**
Hey, Ashimine-kun!
It's me, Kagami, from class.
**[03:04] Kazuya**
Didn't expect to see you here.
**[03:05] Mimane**
Hup!
**[03:06] Kazuya**
Would you like to play, too?
**[03:08] Akito**
Uh, no, that's...
**[03:10] Mimane**
Come on, Akito!
**[03:11] Akito**
Mimane, no...
**[03:15] Akito**
*Azami?*
**[03:17] Akito**
* Is she upset that we've made contact*
* with the malison exorcist?!*
**[03:23] Kiriha**
It's reacting...
**[03:34] Akito**
* Azami must've radiated enough*
* malison to create an amasogi.*
**[03:37] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, do you think...
**[03:39] Kiriha**
Yes, it's definitely an amasogi.
**[03:42] Kazuya**
We'd better deal with it fast, then.
**[03:44] Kiriha**
Easier said than done. We don't know
anything about the amasogi's true form,
**[03:48] Kiriha**
its master, or the wish...
**[03:54] Hiroki**
Welcome to the world of *Ironman Fist*!
***SIGN*** The Amasogi's True Form
**[03:57] Hiroki**
And I'm the tournament's organizer,

***SIGN*** Its Master

And I just wanna play video games!
***SIGN*** His Wish
**[04:06] Trio**
*That's simple enough.*
**[04:07] Hiroki**
Time for a red-hot clash between
rugged competitors of wrought metal!
**[04:10] Hiroki**
Let the *Ironman Fist* tournament begin!
**[04:15] Kiriha**
In essence, we're inside a fighting game.
**[04:18] Kiriha**
So we'll need to win a 4-on-4 team battle
**[04:20] Kiriha**
and have that Hirohashi fellow
destroy the game's cabinet.
**[04:25] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[04:27] Kiriha**
You can enjoy the show from there.
I'll handle all three foes.
**[04:31] Akito**
* For now, we should cooperate with*
* them so we can escape this place.*
**[04:36] MC**
Our opening match is
Kiriha of Team Exorcist...
***SIGN*** Kiriha
**[04:39] MC**
versus Daruman of Team Kamioka Empire!
***SIGN*** Daruman
**[04:44] ---**
*Fight!*
**[04:46] Kiriha**
I see no point in wasting
time on this nonsense!
**[04:49] Kiriha**
Spiral Weave!
**[04:53] Kiriha**
Why can't I weave a spiral?!
**[04:56] Kazuya**
I get it! Spiral Weave is a finishing move,
**[04:59] Kazuya**
so you can't use it without
building up the meter first!
**[05:02] Kiriha**
What?! The fighting game
logic goes that far?!
**[05:07] Kiriha**
Ow!
**[05:09] Kiriha**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[05:11] Kiriha**
I can't move! What is this,
one of those infinite combos?!
**[05:14] Kazuya**
No, Kiriha-san!
**[05:15] Kazuya**
It's a low attack, so you can't
block it if you're standing!
**[05:19] Kiriha**
So annoying...
***SIGN*** Middle Kick
**[05:27] ---**
*K.O.!*
**[05:29] MC**
Daruman wins!
**[05:31] ---**
*Perfect!*
**[05:33] Mimane**
That was weak, Kiriha!
**[05:35] Kazuya**
Are you okay, Kiriha-san?
**[05:36] MC**
And now comes the penalty for the loser!
**[05:39] ---**
Penalty?
**[05:42] MC**
It's a bikini and cat ears!
**[05:45] Akito**
Her costume was changed?
**[05:47] Kazuya**
I get it! If you lose, the other
player gets to edit your costume!
**[05:51] Kiriha**
This is so aggravating...
**[05:53] Kazuya**
Wait, you're embarrassed, Kiriha-san?
**[05:56] Kazuya**
That's a shock.
**[05:57] Kiriha**
Do you think I'm some sort of exhibitionist?
**[06:02] Kiriha**
It's not the same as
being on display for you.
**[06:04] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san...
**[06:06] MC**
Now, it's time for the next
fighter to come on down!
**[06:10] Akito**
I'll go.
**[06:11] Kazuya**
Ashimine-kun?
**[06:12] Mimane**
Wait, what about me?!
**[06:13] Akito**
It'll be okay. I'm somewhat
familiar with this game.
**[06:15] MC**
Daruman versus Team Exorcist's
second man, Ashimine Akito!
***SIGN*** Daruman
***SIGN*** Ashimine Akito
**[06:21] ---**
*Fight!*
**[06:27] Kazuya**
He's blocking everything!
**[06:28] Mimane**
Yeah, he's way better than Kiriha!
**[06:30] Kiriha**
Hush up.
**[06:32] Akito**
*I can't risk exposing my identity.*
**[06:35] Akito**
*But if this is all he can do...*
**[06:38] Akito**
*I can win barehanded!*
**[06:41] ---**
*K.O.!*
**[06:42] MC**
The winner is Ashimine Akito!
**[06:44] MC**
Now, what penalty costume awaits our loser—
**[06:47] Akito**
None.
**[06:49] MC**
Next up for Kamioka Empire is Kenshiro!
***SIGN*** Kenshiro
***SIGN*** Ashimine Akito
**[06:54] Kazuya**
Swords?!
**[06:55] Kiriha**
That's cheating!
**[06:57] MC**
Not at all! Weapons are
legal in this tournament!
**[07:01] ---**
*Fight!*
**[07:04] Kazuya**
He's standing his ground?! That's crazy!
**[07:06] Akito**

Nice, Akito!

No, not quite!
**[07:33] ---**
*Draw!*
**[07:35] MC**
We've got a double K.O.!
**[07:37] MC**
And that means both teams get a penalty!
**[07:43] MC**
An eccentric choice!
**[07:47] ---**
*Amazing!*
**[07:48] MC**
And highly rated to boot!
**[07:50] Akito**
But I'm the one who lost.
**[07:52] Kenshiro**
The costume is chosen at
the winner's discretion.
**[07:54] Kenshiro**
Go ahead and pick something.
**[07:55] Akito**
I already said don't want to!
**[07:57] MC**

fielding their penultimate fighters,

Right here! It's finally my turn!
**[08:06] Akito**
Listen. Don't use your powers.

Got it! You can count on me!

**[08:36] Kiriha**
It's nothing a normal human could use.
**[08:38] Akito**
*Mimane!*
**[08:42] Hiroki**
I didn't think my turn would actually come...

**[09:04] MC**
What can Hiroki do?!

He can hit her from that distance?!

Squirm all you want!
I can still nail you with this!

Avoid getting grabbed. Keep your distance!

Right!
**[09:55] Hiroki**
You're not getting away!
**[09:56] Hiroki**
Vacuum!
**[09:58] MC**
And Hiroki tries to pull his opponent in!
He's dead-set on grappling!
**[10:04] Kazuya**
Woven Legs!
**[10:08] Akito**
He's fast!
**[10:10] Hiroki**
I can see why you went last. In that case...

Folks, this combo is as heavy as it is hot!

**[10:52] Mimane**
All right!
**[10:54] Akito**
*He's strong. Even stronger than I expected.*
**[11:09] Kiriha**
We're back, then.
**[11:11] Kazuya**
Looks like the amasogi's master destroyed it.
**[11:13] Kazuya**
That takes care of everything.
**[11:15] Kiriha**
I'm cold after wearing next to nothing.
Need to use the lavatory.
**[11:19] Hiroki**
Thank you, Kazuya!
**[11:21] Hiroki**
Fighting you made me realize something.
**[11:23] Hiroki**
I was really hungry for a
real pulse-pounding fight!
**[11:27] Kazuya**
S-Sure...
**[11:28] Hiroki**
All right, I'm gonna take tomorrow
off work and travel!
**[11:32] Akito**
*Uh, shouldn't a 33-year-old get back to work?*
**[11:36] Akito**
*Azami!*
**[11:37] Akito**
*She really is mad!*
**[11:40] Akito**
* Mimane, Azami's in a bad mood! We need*
* to get away from Kazuya and Kiriha, fast!*
**[11:45] Mimane**
*I get you.*
**[11:46] Mimane**
Kazuya!
**[11:49] Mimane**
Smooch!
**[11:51] Akito**
Why?!
**[11:52] Mimane**
That was "Mimane, go and kiss Kazuya," right?
**[11:55] Akito**
No!
**[12:07] Kazuya**
Are you okay?
**[12:11] Kazuya**
Here, you can wipe your face with this.
**[12:17] Akito**
*Azami calmed down in a flash...*
**[12:20] Kiriha**
Kazuya!
**[12:21] Kiriha**
What was that noise?
**[12:23] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san.
**[12:24] Kazuya**
The ceiling suddenly collapsed in.
**[12:26] Kazuya**
And this girl was...
**[12:28] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[12:30] Kiriha**
No matter, then.
**[12:31] Kiriha**
More importantly, Mimane...
**[12:34] Kiriha**
You're a mirror tsugumomo, aren't you?
**[12:36] Mimane**
Yup!
**[12:37] Sign/Akito**
*Idiot!*
***SIGN*** Idiot
**[12:41] Kiriha**
Quite the handy power you
have there. Let's be friends!
**[12:45] Mimane**
Sure!
**[12:46] Kazuya**
Does that mean you're her
partner, Ashimine-kun?
**[12:49] Akito**
Th-That's right.
**[12:51] Akito**
*This has only gotten more complicated...*
***SIGN*** The Romantic Quiz Board Game

Mimane's identity has been exposed.
**[12:59] Yasuki**
You need to be more cautious, Akito.
**[13:02] Akito**
I'm sorry.
**[13:03] Mimane**
Seriously, get it together!
**[13:05] Akito**
And whose fault was it?!
**[13:06] Akito**
Regardless, we can't risk them
finding out anything else.
**[13:10] Akito**
*Better to avoid them as much as possible.*
**[13:15] Akito**
*Yet here we are!*
**[13:18] Kiriha**
You got caught up in this one, too?
Your luck seems terrible.
**[13:22] Akito**
*Tell me about it!*
**[13:24] Akito**
*A different amasogi caught me...*
**[13:26] Kiriha**
Who's the girl?

O-Oh, this is my sister.

Welcome, everyone!
***SIGN*** Wakisaka Wakana
**[13:39] Wakana**
You've been invited to this game
as a pair of nice-looking couples!
**[13:44] Kazuya**
What game?
**[13:46] Wakana**
I call it the Romantic Quiz Board Game!
**[13:48] Sign**
Romantic Quiz Board Game
**[13:50] Wakana**
You make progress based
on your rolls of the dice,
**[13:52] Wakana**
receiving questions depending on the space.
**[13:54] Wakana**
Each couple will have to work
together and aim for the goal!
**[13:57] Arumi**
Couples?
**[13:58] Kiriha**
Free us right now!
**[14:00] Wakana**
Not happening!
**[14:02] Wakana**
The only way to free everyone
is to win the game!
**[14:06] Kazuya**
Wait, are these all couples from school?!
**[14:09] Kiriha**
I will not humor this prattle!
**[14:12] Kazuya**
Watch out, Kiriha-san!
**[14:14] Wakana**
Nice try.
**[14:16] Wakana**
But you can only move forward
by rolling the dice.
**[14:20] Wakana**
I'll be waiting at the goal, everyone!
**[14:24] ---**
One other thing:
**[14:26] ---**
the first couple to reach the goal will
earn the right to ask the other pair
**[14:29] ---**
one question that must be answered!
**[14:31] ---**
I'm sure you're curious about how
things are in their relationship!
**[14:34] ---**
Good luck, now!
**[14:37] Kiriha**
Quite the little voyeur, isn't she?
**[14:39] Kiriha**
You two can wait here. We'll head
to the goal and destroy the amasogi.
**[14:44] Akito**
No, we'd like to help.
**[14:46] Akito**
Working together will improve
our odds of getting out of this.
**[14:48] Kazuya**
Thanks, Ashimine-kun!
**[14:51] Akito**
*This "reward question" is a concern.*
**[14:53] Akito**
* I need to make sure we win this, to keep*
* our identities and the plan a secret.*
**[14:58] Kazuya**
There!
**[15:00] Kazuya**
We both rolled two.
**[15:03] Akito**
Next should be the question.
**[15:05] Kazuya**
I wonder what it'll be about.
**[15:07] Wakana/Sign**
Question:
**[15:08] Wakana/Sign**
*Question:*
**[15:09] Wakana/Sign**
*How many times have you had intercourse?*
**[15:10] Wakana/Sign**
How many times
have you had intercourse?
**[15:12] Kazuya**
This quiz is sexual harassment!
**[15:14] Kazuya**
What about in dreams?
**[15:15] Kiriha**
I doubt that counts.
**[15:16] Akito**
We haven't, right?
**[15:17] Arumi**
No...
**[15:19] Both**
Zero times!
**[15:21] Wakana**
*Correct!*
**[15:22] Akito**
* I guess the questions will*
* be about our relationships.*
**[15:25] Akito**
* I doubt the two of us, who've*
* been together for centuries,*
**[15:27] Akito**
* would lose to a team that's*
* only formed recently.*
**[15:32] Kiriha**
Seems we'll be operating
separately from here on.
**[15:34] Kiriha**
Good luck to you.
**[15:36] Akito**
Yeah. You, too.
**[15:38] Akito**
Okay, we're out in front now.
**[15:40] Akito**
Let's make sure it stays that way.
**[15:42] Arumi**
Right.
**[15:42] Sign**
Question:
**[15:43] Wakana**
*Here's a question for the man.*
**[15:45] Sign/Wakana**
*Tell us your partner's most sensitive spot!*
**[15:45] Sign/Wakana**
Tell us your partner's
most sensitive spot!
**[15:46] Sign/Wakana**
Tell us your partner's
most sensitive spot!
**[15:49] Akito**
What kind of question is that?!
**[15:51] Arumi**
B-Brother, maybe we should forf—
**[15:53] Akito**
Wait!
**[15:54] Akito**
We can't afford to let them win.
**[15:58] Akito**
*Come to think of it...*
**[15:59] (Flashback) Mimane**
Y'know, if you go like this to Arumi in the bath,
**[16:02] (Flashback) Mimane**
she starts yelping happily!
**[16:04] Akito**
*That must be it!*
**[16:07] Akito**
The answer is her chest!
**[16:10] Wakana**
*Specifically?*
**[16:11] Aktio**
S-Specifically...?
**[16:12] Aktio**
Her n-nipples!
**[16:15] Wakana**
*Wrong! The answer is her c—*
**[16:17] Arumi**
No!
**[16:22] Akito**
How long was I unconscious?!
**[16:24] Akito**
Is this the penalty for
getting a wrong answer?
**[16:26] Arumi**
N-No...
**[16:27] Arumi**
You were asleep for about five minutes.
**[16:29] Sign**
Wrong Answer
**[16:29] Arumi**
The penalty was being sent back to the start.
**[16:34] Arumi**
That and... my scarf.
**[16:36] Arumi**
It seems the game continues
until the girl is stripped nude.
**[16:39] Akito**
So one article of clothing
for each wrong answer...
***SIGN*** Scarf
***SIGN*** Bra
***SIGN*** Shirt
**[16:42] Akito**
That means we can afford six more mistakes.
***SIGN*** Shorts
***SIGN*** Uniform
***SIGN*** Stockings
***SIGN*** Slippers
**[16:47] Akito**
Kazuya and Kiriha might be moving
ahead while we're here.
**[16:50] Akito**
Let's get a move on!
**[16:51] Arumi**
Okay.
**[16:52] Sign/Wakana**
*How many times have you kissed?*
**[16:52] Sign/Wakana**
How many times have you kissed?
**[16:53] Both**
Zero!
**[16:54] Sign/Wakana**
Correct!
**[16:55] Sign/Wakana**
*Correct!*
**[16:55] Sign/Wakana**
A question for the girl!
Where is your partner most sensitive?
**[16:56] Sign/Wakana**
* A question for the girl!*
* Where is your partner most sensitive?*
**[16:59] Arumi**
B-Bellybutton!
**[17:01] Wakana**
*The correct answer is the fre—*
**[17:02] Akito**
Nope!
**[17:03] Sign/Wakana**
How many times do you
do it by yourself in a week?
**[17:03] Sign/Wakana**
* How many times do you do*
* it by yourself in a week?*
**[17:05] Arumi**
I don't!
**[17:07] Wakana**
*The correct answer is—*
**[17:07] Arumi**
I *don't*!
**[17:16] Kiriha**
You've certainly missed a few.
**[17:18] Akito**
*She's only missing her scarf...*
**[17:20] Akito**
You only got one question wrong?
**[17:22] Kazuya**
The questions weren't that hard.
**[17:24] Kiriha**
A bit disappointing, really.
**[17:26] Akito**
*I underestimated them...*
**[17:28] Wakana**
I'm glad to see you've all made it here!
**[17:31] Wakana**
Now, it's time for the final question!
**[17:34] Wakana**
Either of you can answer this one.
**[17:37] Wakana**
Who has he loved the most in his life?
**[17:42] Wakana**
Now, ladies, I'm sure you
thought, "It's obviously me!"
**[17:46] Wakana**
Non, non, non!
**[17:48] Wakana**
To be frank, guys just want
an outlet for their urges!
**[17:52] Wakana**
They might not actually date the
girl they're most interested in!
**[17:55] Wakana**
An honest answer might send your girl into
a frenzy that'd lead to an instant split!
**[18:01] Wakana**
And that means no crossing the goal!
**[18:03] Wakana**
After all, to win, you need
to reach the goal as a couple.
**[18:07] Wakana**
And no couples have made it
past this final hurdle so far!
**[18:10] Wakana**
Now, let's hear those answers!
**[18:13] Kiriha**
Ridiculous.
**[18:14] Kiriha**
The answer is obviously Kiriha!
**[18:16] Kiriha**
Why the hell not?!
**[18:19] Wakana**
Nice try! Back to the start you go.
**[18:21] Kiriha**
But what's the right answer?!
**[18:24] Wakana**
Now, then...
**[18:25] Wakana**
It's your turn.
**[18:28] Akito**
*Who is the girl I love the most?*
**[18:32] Akito**
* I've never paid much mind to*
* love or romance, honestly.*
**[18:36] Akito**
*I wouldn't know where to begin...*
**[18:39] Wakana**
Better answer quickly,
or you'll be counted out!
**[18:42] Arumi**
Brother, do you not know?
**[18:46] Akito**
I hate to admit it, but I don't have a clue.
**[18:49] Arumi**
Can I answer, then?
**[18:53] Akito**
Do you know who it is?!
**[18:57] Arumi**
Yes.
**[19:00] Kiriha**
Why, you little—
**[19:03] Kiriha**
We're back in the school.
**[19:05] Kiriha**
Akito and Arumi must've won.
**[19:07] Akito**
Hey, you two.
**[19:08] Kiriha**
Well, how'd it go?
**[19:11] Akito**
Wakisaka Wakana willingly destroyed the
amasogi as our reward for finishing the game.
**[19:17] Akito**
She was upset about being dumped,
**[19:20] Akito**
and gave rise to the board game amasogi
in order to break couples up.
**[19:24] Kiirha**
Dealing with the aberration
without incurring an atonement...
**[19:28] Kiirha**
Kazuya?
**[19:29] Kazuya**
Yeah.
**[19:30] Kazuya**
Ashimine-kun, we actually started a club to
deal with supernatural trouble like this.
**[19:36] Kazuya**
Would you be willing to join and help us out?
**[19:41] Akito**
*I can't go around helping solve these cases!*
**[19:45] Akito**
S-Sorry, but I don't think I can...
**[19:48] Kiriha**
Come to think of it, Mimane was
telling me all about you...
**[19:53] Kiriha**
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Something about the bath?
**[19:56] (Flashback) Mimane**
Hey, let me see it!
**[19:58] (Flashback) Akito**
Cut it out!
**[19:59] Akito**
*Damn it, Mimane!*
**[20:02] Akito**
All right. I'll help.
**[20:05] Arumi**
Brother?!
**[20:06] Kiriha**
Good boy.
**[20:06] Kazuya**
Thanks a bunch, Ashimine-kun!
**[20:09] Akito**
That being the case... I've joined
the troubleshooters' office.
**[21:47] Kukuri**
What? You mean ta tell me ya
ain't Kazuya's number one gal?!
**[21:51] Kiriha**
It seems so!
**[21:52] Kiriha**
Most likely a case of him failing to see
my charms due to the close proximity.
**[21:58] Kiriha**
What are you squirming for?
**[22:00] Kukuri**
Just wonderin' if I got a nice
nightgown I could wear tonight...
**[22:02] Kiriha**
Going straight for the kill, eh?!
**[22:03] Kasumi**
Time to break out *that* pair of underwear...
**[22:05] Kiriha**
The pervert sister!
**[22:06] Kokuyou**
If that is what Kazuya desires,
then I suppose I must.
**[22:09] Kiriha**
Et tu, Kokuyou?!
**[22:10] Kiriha**
How do you all have the nerve
to assume you're number one?!
**[22:13] Kokuyou**
Why don't we simply ask him, then?
**[22:15] Kazuya**
Stop it!
**[22:17] Kazuya**
Let me go!
**[22:17] Kukuri**
We're gettin' an answer whether
you like it or not, Kazuyan!
**[22:20] Kukuri**

There she is!
**[22:48] Kiriha**
Let's see just who the thieving hussy is!
**[22:54] Kukuri**
Who the...
**[22:55] Kiriha**
That's Kazuya after he turned
into a girl in a dream.
**[22:59] Bakura**
I suppose a female version of himself
would be the ideal partner
**[23:02] Bakura**
he could truly share everything with.
**[23:05] Bakura**
It seems Kazuya-san's become
fixated on the idea ever since
**[23:09] Bakura**
becoming a girl during
his dream the other day.
**[23:14] Kiriha**
Let's head back.
**[23:14] Kukuri**
Yup.
**[23:15] Kokuyou**
Right.
**[23:16] Kasumi**
Good idea.

**[00:09] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Please be my friend.
**[00:18] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Hey!
**[00:20] (Flashback) Kiriha**
He's made another amasogi?
**[00:22] (Flashback) Kanaka**
And I keep telling him not to.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Come on, you created it,
so you have to send it back.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Kazuya**
O-Okay...
**[00:33] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Bye-bye, Mr. Eraser.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Kanaka**
That's it! Good boy!
**[00:41] Kazuya**
These are... my memories.
**[00:52] Kazuya**
That's right. Mom was a malison exorcist.
**[00:55] Kazuya**
A really strong one.
**[00:57] Kazuya**
I wonder why she died.
**[01:00] Kazuya**
Actually... I had forgotten everything
about her, not just how she died.
**[01:06] Kanaka**
Because that's the point of the seal.
**[01:09] Kazuya**
Seal?
**[01:10] Kanaka**
Yes. It's almost gone, though.
**[01:13] Kazuya**
But why?
**[01:16] Kazuya**
Wait... Aren't you the exorcist
who came before me?
**[01:20] Kazuya**
But the exorcist before me was Mom... so...
**[01:22] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[01:26] Kanaka**
You need to get ready, Kazuya.
**[01:30] Kanaka**
It won't be long now.
I'm looking forward to it.
**[01:33] Kazuya**
Hey, wait!
**[01:41] Kazuya**
What won't be long?
**[01:55] Kiriha**
Bring more pudding...

**[03:49] Akito**
That being the case,
**[03:51] Akito**
Mimane and I are going to be working
with the troubleshooters' office.
**[03:55] Akito**
I realize you don't like the idea of
us getting near the exorcist, Azami...
**[04:00] Akito**
But there's something to be gained in knowing
**[04:03] Akito**
how they'll react to our
plans going forward, too.
**[04:05] Akito**
So, will you allow us do this?
**[04:10] Akito**
Azami?
**[04:11] Mimane**
Hey, answer already!
**[04:30] Azami**
Wh-What do you want?! If you
need something, out with it.
**[04:33] Akito**
R-Right...
**[04:35] Akito**
I was asking about us joining
the troubleshooters' office.
**[04:37] Azami**
Fine. Do as you will.
**[04:40] Azami**
But no harm is to come to the exorcist.
**[04:42] Yasuki**
If Azami doesn't mind,
then I suppose it's fine.
**[04:45] Mimane**
Yay!
**[04:46] Yasuki**
But that group's advisor is
the goddess of this region.
**[04:51] Yasuki**
And our goal is to take her shard.
**[04:55] Yasuki**
I'm not sure how smart
it is to get close to her.
**[04:59] Akito**
There are risks, but there are also benefits.
**[05:01] Akito**
We'll have to fight the
exorcist eventually,
**[05:03] Akito**
and this will let us learn
about his abilities.
**[05:07] Akito**
Not only that, but we'll be around when they
**[05:10] Akito**
get rid of the aberrations that we caused.
**[05:12] Akito**
Which means we might be able to hinder them.
**[05:15] Mimane**
You worry too much, Yasuki!
**[05:19] Yasuki**
Fine. Just be sure to keep an eye out...
**[05:23] Yasuki**
for Mimane.
**[05:24] Akito**
Of course.
**[05:25] Mimane**
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
**[05:27] Akito**
Let's head to the club room, Mimane.
**[05:29] Mimane**
Seriously, what's the deal?!
**[05:42] Azami**
The situation...
**[05:43] Azami**
...hasn't changed.
**[05:45] Azami**
The disruptions in malison are
starting to weaken the goddess.
**[05:49] Azami**
And on your end?
**[05:52] Azami**
Still asleep.
**[05:54] Azami**
I see.
**[05:55] Azami**
Wait.
**[05:57] Azami**
I will.
**[06:06] Sign**
Troubleshooters'
Office
**[06:09] Mimane**
I'm Miyou Mimane, a mirror tsugumomo!
**[06:11] Akito**
And I'm her partner, Ashimine Akito.
**[06:15] Chisato**
You had a tsugumomo, Ashimine-kun?
**[06:18] Shirou**
You have a sister, don't you?
**[06:21] Akito**
Y-Yes.
**[06:22] Shirou**
With big boo—
**[06:25] Kiriha**
The two of them will take point when
dealing with amasogi, like Kazuya and me.
**[06:31] Akito**
But we're not suited for combat.
I don't know if you should expect much.
**[06:36] Kiriha**
There's actually an aberration
to deal with right now.
**[06:40] Kiriha**
So why don't we see what you two can do?
**[06:48] Akito**
What is this thing?
**[06:50] Kazuya**
A sea urchin?
**[06:51] Shirou**
What's that stinky fruit called?
**[06:52] Osamu**
Do you mean durians?
**[06:54] Akito**
Did you do this, Mimane?
**[06:55] Mimane**
Wasn't me!
**[06:57] Akito**
It must be naturally occurring, then.
**[06:59] Osamu**
I think this amasogi may have been created
out of a desire to withdraw from society.
**[07:04] Akito**
Then the master is inside it?
**[07:06] Kiriha**
Doesn't seem any amount of
convincing will work in this case.
**[07:09] Kiriha**
Why don't you try and take care of it?
**[07:12] Mimane**
Hey, I have a good idea!
**[07:17] Mimane**
First, I get your whole body
reflected in the Blood Mirror...
**[07:21] Mimane**
Then I can borrow your appearance and powers!
**[07:23] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[07:25] ---**
Blood Mirror: Silhouette!
**[07:28] Blood Mirror**
It's Obina Kiriha!
**[07:31] Kiriha**
You really are a mirror!
**[07:32] Kiriha**
As beautiful as the real deal!
**[07:34] Mimane**
Not just looks, either!
**[07:36] Mimane**
Here we go, Akito!
**[07:39] Akito**
I see.
**[07:40] Akito**
In that case... Obi Jab!
**[07:43] Akito**
Ashimine-kun can use obi techniques?
**[07:45] Kiriha**
He must've learned it from
the battle in the arcade.
**[07:50] Osamu**
It doesn't seem effective, though.
**[07:53] Kiriha**
Very well, we'll teach you a few more.
**[07:56] Akito**
Spear Weave!
**[07:58] Akito**
Spiral Weave!
**[08:00] Akito**
Sledgehammer Weave!
**[08:06] Mimane**
Akito, it's not working!
**[08:09] Kiriha**
Awfully durable, isn't it?
**[08:11] Kazuya**
They must *really* not want to go outside.
**[08:15] Shirou**
This calls for boobs.
**[08:17] Chisato**
Was I not hitting you hard enough?
**[08:20] Shirou**
No, you've got it all wrong!
**[08:21] Shirou**
I mean like Ama-no-Iwato! The myth!
**[08:24] Shirou**
Ama-no-Uzume did a naked
dance in front of the cave,
**[08:27] Shirou**
and then the goddess Amaterasu came out!
**[08:29] Shirou**
Which means she was lured out with boobs!
**[08:34] Mimane**
Got it! Here!
**[08:36] Kiriha**
Don't use my body for this!
**[08:40] Osamu**
No response, it seems.
**[08:42] Shirou**
I guess Kiriha-san doesn't have enough volume.
**[08:47] Mimane**
I know!
**[08:48] Mimane**
Wait a sec!
**[08:49] Kiriha**
Hey! Put some clothes on!
**[08:53] Mimane**
I'm back!
**[08:54] ---**
Blood Mirror: Silhouette!
**[08:58] ---**
Ashimine Arumi!
**[09:01] Shirou**
Now these are some honkers!
**[09:02] Arumi**
Mimane!
**[09:04] Mimane**
Owie...
**[09:06] Kiriha**
Nothing from Arumi, either?
**[09:07] Mimane**
I know! What if the Silhouette and the
real deal offer a double dose of boobies?
**[09:11] Arumi**
Why don't you get naked yourself?!
**[09:18] Kiriha**
If we forget about Shirou's idea,
I'm not sure what our options are...
**[09:27] Kiriha**
Well, that settles that!
**[09:28] Kiriha**
Troublesome as it was...
**[09:30] Kiriha**
It didn't play out as I imagined,
but your powers seem quite handy.
**[09:33] Kiriha**
We'll be counting on you going forward.
**[09:36] Akito**
Thank you.
**[09:37] Kukuri**
Looks like ya got this one
wrapped up. Nice work!
**[09:42] Akito**
* The patron deity of Hakusan Shrine,*
* Kukuri-hime no Kami!*
**[09:46] Kukuri**
Nice to meet ya! I'm yer
advisor, Shirayama Kukuri!
**[09:49] Akito**
Ashimine Akito.
**[09:51] Mimane**
I'm Miyou Mimane!
**[09:52] Akito**
*That's the goddess of this region?*
**[09:54] Akito**
*She just seems like a little girl...*
**[09:55] Kukuri**
So yer Mimane-chan—
**[09:57] Kukuri**
Wait, what happened to your clothes?!
**[10:00] Mimane**
Oh, some stuff!
**[10:02] Kukuri**
C'mon, girl, ya gotta be more careful!
**[10:03] Akito**
*I barely sense any spiritual force.*
**[10:05] Akito**
*Why even wait at this point?*
**[10:06] Mimane**
I guess!
**[10:09] (Flashback) Azami**
It's too soon to move on the goddess.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Azami**
She must be weaker.
**[10:14] Akito**
*I don't think we can trust Azami...*
**[10:16] Akito**
* But we need her powers to contact*
* and travel to Mayoiga.*
**[10:17] ---**
C'mon, cover up yer front!
**[10:21] Akito**
* You understand, don't you, Mimane?*
* Choose your words carefully.*
**[10:24] Mimane**
Hey, aren't you a goddess, Kukuri?
**[10:27] Kukuri**
How'd ya know that?
**[10:27] Akito**
*Mimane!*
**[10:29] Mimane**
So show me your powers! Come on!
**[10:32] Kukuri**
Sure thing!
**[10:34] Kukuri**
Get a load of this!
**[10:36] Kukuri**
The great swell from the
heavens, Water Impact!
**[10:42] Kiriha**
You idiot goddess!
**[10:44] Kiriha**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[10:47] Akito**
* The goddess of this land is taking a*
* drubbing from a normal tsugumomo...*
**[10:47] Kuuri**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[10:52] Yasuki**
I see.
**[10:54] Yasuki**
The obi techniques of the exorcists,
and the status of the goddess...
**[10:57] Yasuki**
Looks like we've already made some gains.
**[11:00] Yasuki**
Although Mimane's behavior is concerning.
**[11:02] Akito**
Right. We'll have to warn
her to be more careful.
**[11:04] Arumi**
Where exactly is she, anyway?
**[11:07] Akito**
What the?!
**[11:11] Mimane**
I'm here to spend the night!
**[11:13] Kiriha**
Well, that's abrupt.
**[11:15] Mimane**
Well, you see, Akito wants
to know lots about Kazuya!
**[11:18] Kazuya**
About me?
**[11:19] Mimane**
Yup!
**[11:20] Mimane**
So let me see your wiener, Kazuya!
**[11:23] Kazuya**
Why?!
**[11:24] Mimane**
It's like an elephant's trunk! Pawoo!
**[11:26] Kazuya**
Don't pull on it!
**[11:27] Kukuri**
Kinda noisy down there, huh?
**[11:29] Kokuyou**
Kukuri-sama...
**[11:30] Kukuri**
I getcha, Kokuyou.
**[11:32] Kukuri**
It's a regional goddess's job to get
ridda all the built-up malison...
**[11:37] Kokyou**
Is something the matter?
**[11:39] Kukuri**
I think someone crossed
the field around the town.
**[11:43] Kukuri**
Four of 'em... All tsugumomo, too.
**[11:46] Kokuyou**
Four at once strikes me as odd.
**[11:49] Kukuri**
True enough.
**[11:50] Kukuri**
We oughta hear 'em out,
since that's the custom.
**[11:53] Kukuri**
Can ya go bring 'em over?
**[11:54] Kokuyou**
Right.
**[11:57] Kukuri**
Be careful!
**[11:59] Mimane**
It's the goddess!
**[12:01] Kukuri**
What's she doin' here?!
**[12:03] Kiriha**
Spending the night, apparently.
**[12:05] Mimane**
Hey, y'know, Kazuya's...
**[12:07] Kazuya**
Don't say anything!
**[12:09] Kukuri**
What's the matter with you, Kazuyan?
**[12:10] Kazuya**
Sulk...
**[12:11] Mimane**
Y'know, Kazuya's wiener
is cuter than Akito's!
**[12:15] Mimane**
It's littler, and has a wrapping on
top, and is like a little elephant!
**[12:19] Kazuya**
I can never go to school again...
**[12:21] Kiriha**
You shouldn't sob over such trivial matters.
**[12:23] Kiriha**
Besides, you've had that
"hood" your entire life.
**[12:27] Kukuri**
She's right, Kazuyan!
It ain't all about size!
**[12:30] Kukuri**
Not to mention...
**[12:33] Mimane**
Are you sick?
**[12:34] Kukuri**
Naw, just got a chill from
bein' out in the night wind.
**[12:37] Mimane**
You should take a bath, too, Kukuri!
**[12:40] Kukuri**
W-Wait—
**[12:41] Kiriha**
She's a real bundle of energy.
**[12:44] Mimane**
Wow, so tiny!
**[12:46] Mimane**
Cute! So this is what a goddess is like, huh?
**[12:47] Kukuri**
What the heck are you doin'?!
**[12:49] Kukuri**
Cut it out! I'm a goddess,
dang it! And yer club advisor!
**[12:53] Mimane**
Aw, come on! Let me see better!
**[12:59] Kiriha**
What did you do?
**[13:00] Kukuri**
Got overheated...
**[13:07] Kazuya**
Kokuyou-san?!
***SIGN*** Tsugu
***SIGN*** Tsugumomo
**[13:12] Mimane**
*Tsugu Tsugumomo*!
***SIGN*** Tsugu
***SIGN*** Tsugumomo
**[13:17] Kokyou**
*Tsugu Tsugumomo*.
**[13:23] Kukuri**
Kokuyou...
**[13:24] Taguri**
I performed first aid, but she's hurt badly.
**[13:28] Kazuya**
She's all beat up... Who did this?!
**[13:30] Kiriha**
What happened out there, Taguri?
**[13:33] Taguri**
Well...
**[13:34] Kokuyou**
I...
**[13:35] Kukuri**
Kokuyou!
**[13:37] Kokyou**
I should explain myself.
**[13:38] Kukuri**
You oughta lie down!
**[13:39] Kokuyou**
I'm the only one who knows the entire story.
**[13:44] Kokuyou**
I encountered the four tsukumogami
Kukuri-sama spoke of on the outskirts of town.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
I serve the goddess of this land, Kamioka.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
I would like to know why you are here.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Genbu**
We ran away from our tyrannical
masters, and made our way here.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Genbu**
We'd like to ask for sanctuary
from this region's goddess.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Jungo**
A land's goddess is supposed to offer
protection to wandering tsukumogami.
**[14:12] (Flashback) Senga**
We'd like to call upon her kindness.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
I understand the situation.
**[14:17] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
However, the four of you all fleeing
together strikes me as strange.
**[14:21] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
Not only that, but you've come
this far with little explanation.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
Wouldn't it make the most sense
to turn to your own local god?
**[14:29] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
If they then send you this way, I will
gladly introduce you to my mistress.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Kyouka**
We try to do this the easy way, and the
goddess's servant starts getting uppity...
**[14:39] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
If your circumstances are murky enough
that you would not turn to your own deity,
**[14:43] (Flashback) Kokuyou**
then I will by no means allow you
to meet with Kukuri-sama!
**[15:09] (Flashback) Taguri**
Oh, my. You've really taken a beating.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Taguri**
What a nasty bunch.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Taguri**
This girl is the priestess
of the regional goddess.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Taguri**
Did you all attack her knowing that?
**[15:20] (Flashback) Taguri**
If you still want to fight, I'll take you on.
**[15:32] Taguri**
Afterward, I brought her here
while she was unconscious.
**[15:37] Kukuri**
I'm real sorry, Kokuyou!
I shouldn't have sent ya by yer lonesome.
**[15:42] Kokuyou**
No... I'm at fault for letting
those tsugumomo get the best of me.
**[15:47] Kazuya**
Why would they have attacked
Kokuyou-san in the first place?
**[15:51] Taguri**
The fact that they're a group of renegade
tsukumogami brings a possibility to mind.
**[15:55] Taguri**
Don't you think, Kukuri-chan?
**[15:58] Kukuri**
They might be from Mayoiga.
**[16:00] Kiriha**
Mayoiga? What's that?
**[16:02] Kukuri**
A real long time ago...
**[16:04] Kukuri**
A buncha tsukumogami who were
fed up with bein' exploited by humans
**[16:08] Kukuri**
asked their local goddess for
protection, but were turned away.
**[16:13] Kukuri**
They ended up killing her and taking
the shard that gave her powers.
**[16:18] Kukuri**
The tsukumogami who led them
embedded that shard in his chest,
**[16:24] ---**
and used the power of the gods to
create a paradise for tsukumogami
**[16:29] ---**
with no masters: Mayoiga.
**[16:32] Taguri**
The residents of Mayoiga are
still in hiding from the gods,
**[16:37] Taguri**
so this seems plausible.
**[16:38] Kazuya**
Then the four of them...
**[16:41] Kukuri**
Yeah. They're after me.
**[16:45] Kukuri**
The power they stole from the regional
goddess ain't gonna last forever.
**[16:50] Kukuri**
I figure they were on the
hunt for a weakened goddess,
**[16:53] Kukuri**
right as the power sustainin'
them was runnin' out...
**[16:57] Kukuri**
So they wanna kill me and take my shard.
**[17:03] Taguri**
To be honest, I was followed here.
**[17:07] Taguri**
So they're likely to attack this
place as soon as they've regrouped.
**[17:13] Kukuri**
Then I gotta—
**[17:14] Taguri**
What's the point in their target
waltzing out to greet them?
**[17:19] Taguri**
I can take two. That leaves
two for Kiriha and Kazuya...
**[17:24] Taguri**
That might be a bit too much.
**[17:26] Kiirha**
Not quite. We've happened
upon some additional soldiers.
**[17:33] Akito**
An attack from Mayoiga?!
**[17:35] Mimane**
*Yeah! Here's what they looked like.*
**[17:40] Akito**
These are...
**[17:41] Akito**
Genbu, the axe.
**[17:43] Akito**
Kyouka, the flute.
**[17:45] Akito**
Senga, the fan.
**[17:46] Akito**
And Jungou, the shield.
**[17:48] Arumi**
The four of them wanted to attack
the goddess as soon as possible.
**[17:53] Arumi**
They were agitating for it.
**[17:54] Yasuki**
Right. But how did they get out of Mayoiga?
**[17:58] Akito**
The other Azami wouldn't have just let
them leave without doing something.
**[18:03] Akito**
But she's not here...
**[18:05] Akito**
*Did Azami not notice they left?*
**[18:07] Akito**
*Or maybe...*
**[18:09] Yasuki**
This might be our chance.
**[18:11] Yasuki**
If we work together with them, we can
defeat the regional goddess, her comrade,
**[18:16] Yasuki**
and the malison exorcists...
**[18:18] Mimane**
*Nope!*
**[18:19] Mimane**
*Way too optimistic, Yasuki.*
**[18:21] Yasuki**
What?
**[18:22] Mimane**
* The real reason I came here was to*
* ascertain how strong the goddess is.*
**[18:27] Akito**
And?
**[18:28] Mimane**
* Well, as it stands, even all*
* eight of us couldn't handle her!*
**[18:33] Akito**
That can't be!
**[18:34] Mimane**
* Aw, come on, trust me!*
* I've been looking real closely!*
**[18:40] Mimane**
*So where's your weak spot, Kukuri?*
**[18:40] Kukuri**
*What the heck?! Quit starin'!*
**[18:43] Mimane**
*Aw, come on! Tell me!*
**[18:48] Arumi**
I don't think the two of
you should see any more!
**[18:50] Mimaine**
* What? But I was just*
* getting to the good stuff!*
**[18:53] Arumi**
No means no!
**[18:57] Kazuya**
Thanks for coming over, Ashimine-kun.
**[19:00] Akito**
Mimane told me what's going on.
**[19:03] Akito**
We'll help however we can.
**[19:06] Mimane**
Y'know, my blood mirror
can talk to other mirrors!
**[19:11] Taguri**
That's handy.
**[19:12] Mimane**
It can show anything I see, too!
**[19:15] Kukuri**
*But I'm a goddess!*
**[19:19] Taguri**
Let's be friends!
**[19:21] Mimane**
Sure!
**[19:23] Kazuya**
Are they actually going to attack?
**[19:25] Kiriha**
Yes... and they'll want to strike
before we can strengthen our defenses.
**[19:30] Taguri**
One other thing. We should
take them alive, if we can.
**[19:35] Taguri**
I want to make sure any pests buzzing
around Kukuri-chan are made to suffer.
**[19:39] Taguri**
And we could also interrogate them, I guess.
**[19:41] Kiriha**
Like it's an afterthought?!
**[19:43] Kiriha**
Speak of the devil. Here they come.
**[19:53] Kazuya**
*They hurt Kokuyou-san...*
**[19:55] Kazuya**
*And they want to kill Kukuri-chan.*

Come on, let's go to the bath!
**[21:46] Arumi**
No. You're just going to misbehave again.
**[21:48] Mimaine**
I will not! I'm just gonna touch your boobs.
**[21:51] Arumi**
I said no!
**[21:53] Mimane**
But you were going
"Oh! Oh!" like you liked it!
**[21:55] Arumi**
I was not!
**[21:57] Akito**
You weren't what?
**[21:58] Arumi**
Brother!
**[21:59] Arumi**
It's nothing!
**[22:01] Chikage**
You two seem to be getting along.
**[22:02] Arumi**
How can I help you, Chikage-san?
**[22:05] Chikage**
I brought a futon for you two.
**[22:08] Arumi**
Just the one for the two of us?
**[22:10] Chikage**
We didn't have any more to spare.
**[22:13] Chikage**
Sorry about that!
**[22:14] Arumi**
I'm not sure if...
**[22:15] Akito**
I could make do with a cushion.
**[22:15] Arumi**
* I've been with my brother this*
* entire time, but sleeping with him?*
**[22:17] Chikage**
You know Arumi-chan would
feel guilty if you did that!
**[22:20] Akito**
Well, I'm going to spar with Chikage.
**[22:23] Arumi**
R-Right!
**[22:26] Arumi**
*I'll be sleeping with him tonight...*
**[22:30] Arumi**
Brother? You're back early.
**[22:36] Arumi**
We can't! This is too sudden!
**[22:38] Arumi**
I know it was only an oath,
but we're still siblings...
**[22:42] Arumi**
Um... Brother...
**[22:47] Arumi**
Just, please, be gentle.
**[22:50] Mimane**
Sure, you got it!
**[22:53] Arumi**
Mimane?
**[22:54] Mimane**
You figured it out?
**[22:56] Arumi**
What are you doing?!
**[22:57] Mimane**
I figured you'd let Akito touch your boobs!
**[23:01] Arumi**
You little—
**[23:03] Akito**
What's going on? Why the commotion—
**[23:09] Arumi**
Please wait! There's a
reasonable explanation!
**[23:13] Narration**
Arumi and Mimane's "special relationship."
**[23:16] Narration**
This misunderstanding wasn't
cleared up for a while.

Faced with powerful tsukumogami,

But the fighting didn't end there, either.

Even more enemies are after Kukuri-chan!

**[00:03] Kiriha**
Here they come.
**[00:05] Kazuya**
These are the tsukumogami from Mayoiga...
**[00:08] Akito**
We'll take the man in the motorcycle jacket.
**[00:10] Taguri**
That leaves tubby and the beanpole for me.
**[00:12] Kiriha**
And we take the woman.
**[00:14] Kazuya**
Okay!
**[00:24] Genbu**
Stay out of this, Akito.
**[00:26] Genbu**
They already know you're
from Mayoiga, don't they?
**[00:30] Akito**
It's not the right time yet.
**[00:32] Akito**
Stay away from the regional god.
**[00:35] Genbu**
Do you know how many of our comrades
have died waiting for "the right time"?!
**[00:42] Akito**
I'm sorry.
**[00:50] Genbu**
I never liked you, anyway.
**[00:56] Akito**
The feeling's mutual.

Need any help, Akito?

That won't be necessary.
**[03:41] Genbu**
I guess training with Mayoiga's strongest
fighter makes a difference after all.
**[03:44] Mimane**
Nice, Akito!
**[03:47] Akito**
I've never landed a single
hit on Chikage, though.

When did he cut me?
**[04:29] Akito**
Take your friends and go back to Mayoiga.
**[04:33] Akito**
Or it'll be more than a
flesh wound next time.
**[04:37] Genbu**
You never cease pissing me off.
**[04:39] Genbu**
But I'm not about to back down!
**[04:49] Akito**
*He blocked with one arm? Wait...*
**[04:56] Akito**

That's a scissors case.

A tsukumogami's power gains more breadth and becomes more vast the older they get.
**[06:00] Jungou**
We've got powers that rival
those of your average deity.
**[06:11] Kyouka**
I missed? Lucky for you.
**[06:17] Kiriha**
We can't get closer at this rate.
We need to back away for now.

**[06:46] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san...
**[06:49] Kazuya**
Let's use Divine Possession.
**[06:52] Kazuya**
We have to beat her!
**[06:54] Kiriha**
What are you saying, you imbecile?!
**[06:55] Kiriha**
What if Divine Possession runs out
before we find a way to take her down?
**[07:00] Kiriha**
You usually fight smarter than this!
**[07:03] Kiriha**
It's not like you to lose your head in a rage!
**[07:06] Kazuya**
But she...
**[07:08] Kyouka**
Aw, done already?
**[07:12] Kyouka**
I have to say, the crow priestess
put up a much better fight.
**[07:17] Kiriha**
What?
**[07:18] Kyouka**
It was a fierce fight,
**[07:20] Kyouka**
but she remained at a safe distance
while throwing out sharp attacks...
**[07:25] Kyouka**
That said, she was completely outnumbered,
so all she could really do was run.
**[07:30] Kyouka**
And that's why, whenever I saw an opening,
I shattered the smaller bones in her body.
**[07:37] Kyouka**
One at a time... bit by bit.
**[07:42] Kyouka**
That cool look on her face
started to warp in agony...
**[07:47] Kyouka**
And before long, she couldn't
choke back her anguished moans.
**[07:51] Kyouka**
But I'm not satisfied in the least.
**[07:54] Kyouka**
I need to hear the melody of my
prey's last cries before dying...
**[07:59] Kyouka**
So I need to make sure
I finish the crow off.
**[08:05] Kyouka**
And when I get to this region's goddess,
I'll spend twice the time...
**[08:10] Kyouka**
I mean, the death of a god?
**[08:13] Kyouka**
That's the kind of sound you'd be
lucky to hear once in a lifetime!
**[08:21] Kyouka**
I'm really looking forward to it.
**[08:23] Kiriha**
You wretch!
**[08:24] Kazuya**
Ayasakura.
**[08:26] Kazuya**
Divine Possession.
**[08:31] Kyouka**
No way...
**[08:32] Kyouka**
Divine Possession?!
**[08:34] Kyouka**
When a master and their tsukumogami unite
as one... I've never seen it before!

**[10:02] Kiriha**
You stopped short...
**[10:06] Jungou**
That was easy.
So much for this resident goddess.
**[10:09] Senga**
Well, that just leaves the
one in charge of this region.
**[10:12] Jungou**
Right.
**[10:13] Taguri**
True enough...
**[10:16] Taguri**
You Mayoiga tsukumogami
shouldn't be underestimated.
**[10:21] Senga**
Scattered Flowers hit her dead-on!
**[10:23] Jungou**
Did it not affect her?!
**[10:26] Taguri**
Oh, you'll need more than
that to get through to me.
**[10:32] Taguri**
Now, then...
**[10:35] Taguri**
I've got an idea of your power,
so it's time to put an end to this.

Oh, well.
**[11:16] Taguri**
It's only natural that anyone who
goes after Kukuri-chan dies for it.

This is the end, Akito!
**[11:28] Genbu**
What the hell are these?!
**[11:30] Genbu**
Chopsticks?!
**[11:32] Akito**
We knew you were coming,
so we had time to prepare.
**[11:37] Akito**
Mimane brought those chopsticks
from a neighborhood restaurant.

They're made of iron birch,

Genbu wouldn't have given up any secrets,
even if he was tortured until it destroyed him.
**[12:33] Mimane**
Something's funny about this, though.
**[12:35] Mimane**
Didn't Genbu and the others
know they'd be fighting you?
**[12:39] Mimane**
Not to mention the exorcist
and the goddess...
**[12:42] Akito**
Right.
**[12:42] Mimane**
Doesn't it seem like, even if they had won,
**[12:45] Mimane**
they wouldn't have had the
strength to return to Mayoiga?
**[12:49] Mimane**
It's not as if they could use
malison crossing like us.
**[12:52] Mimane**
So how were they gonna bring the shard back?
**[12:58] Akito**

That was incredible!
**[17:06] Kukuri**
Aw, t'weren't nothin'.
**[17:09] Taguri**
He's right. That really was something.
**[17:11] Mimane**
Not bad, Kukuri!
**[17:17] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san.
**[17:18] Kukuri**
Looks like yer okay, too, Kiriha!
**[17:20] Kukuri**
Go ahead an' praise me!
**[17:22] Kiriha**
Why'd you have to kill
them all, you imbecile?!
**[17:27] Kukuri**
Wait, why?! Somebody else
hadda leave one alive, right?!
**[17:32] Kazuya**
We can go over the details
after we get back...
**[17:39] Kukuri**
They...
**[17:40] Kukuri**
They're all busted.
**[17:43] Kukuri**
Now we can't ask 'em about Mayoiga!
**[17:45] Kiriha**
You destroyed more than anyone else!
**[17:48] Kukuri**
Wait, wasn't the flute
tsugumomo still in one piece?
**[17:52] Kiriha**
True enough, and yet...
**[17:56] (Flashback) Kazuya**
You're going to tell us everything
about your comrades and Mayoiga.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Kiriha**
Is she still resisting?!
**[18:11] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Huh?
**[18:12] Kiriha**
And there you have it.
**[18:14] Kukuri**
I getcha. Guess she used up too much
strength to maintain her tsukumogami form.
**[18:20] Kukuri**
In that case...
**[18:23] Kukuri**
Kazuyan's gonna need to be
her temp partner for a bit.
**[18:27] Kukuri**
That oughta restore enough spiritual
power to bring her back.
**[18:32] Kazuya**
I see...
**[18:34] Kazuya**
I hope that works.
**[18:38] Kukuri**
Well, I don't figure there's gonna
be any more attacks just yet.
**[18:42] Kukuri**
Good work, people! Much appreciated!
**[18:46] Taguri**
Anything for you, Kukuri-chan!
**[18:49] Taguri**
You must be tired.
Would you like to take a break?
**[18:53] Kukuri**
Would I?!
**[18:57] Kiriha**
In that case, Kukuri,
let's head to the living room.
**[19:01] Kiriha**
We can't be making a fuss around
Kokuyou when she's sleeping.
**[19:05] Kukuri**
Ya got a point there!
**[19:06] Kiriha**
Clearly...
**[19:09] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san...
**[19:12] Kazuya**
I'm sorry, Kiriha-san...
about forcing you with the command...
**[19:32] Akito**

**[19:41] Akito**
We've got bigger concerns right now.
**[19:43] Mimane**
Harrumph!
**[19:45] Akito**
* For the time being, we don't have to*
* worry about intel on Mayoiga leaking...*
**[19:50] Akito**
*But we've lost even more villagers.*
**[19:53] Akito**
* For now, we should head back to the*
* village and report on what's happened.*
**[19:57] Arumi**
Brother!
**[20:01] Akito**
Arumi?
**[20:03] Arumi**
There's trouble...
**[20:04] Akito**
What? What is it?
**[20:07] Arumi**
It's Mayoiga...
**[20:08] Arumi**
There's been a revolt!
**[21:44] Taguri**
Here we are, Kazuya-kun.
**[21:47] Kukuri**
Wait long?
**[21:48] Kazuya**
I-I'm sorry about this.
**[21:50] Kazuya**
I always say one day without a
bath wouldn't kill me, but...
**[21:54] Kukuri**
That ain't gonna do, Kazuya!
**[21:56] Kukuri**
Bathin's like laundry for your body!
**[21:59] Kukuri**
Wouldn't do to fall behind, y'know?
**[22:03] Kazuya**
Uh, Kukuri-chan...
**[22:06] Kazuya**
What about a blindfold?
Because I'll see everything otherwise.
**[22:11] Kukuri**
Don't sweat it, now!
**[22:14] Kukuri**
Come on, it's time to get ya clean!
**[22:16] Kazuya**
What's gotten into you, Kukuri-chan?
**[22:19] Taguri**
Oh, the celebratory party got
a little bit out of hand.
***SIGN*** Ahahahaha
**[22:24] Kazuya**
A *little* bit?!
**[22:25] Kazuya**
Come on, snap out of it, Kukuri-chan!
**[22:29] Kukuri**
If I go like this, we both get clean together!
Two birds with one stone!
**[22:33] Taguri**
Kukuri-chan is cute even when she's smashed!
**[22:35] Kazuya**
Why are you filming this?!
**[22:36] Taguri**
For a permanent record.
**[22:38] Kazuya**
Neither of us want that!
**[22:41] Kukuri**
I heard all about it, Kazuyan...
**[22:43] Kukuri**
Why you used Divine Possession.

How dare you hurt Kukuri-chan?!
**[22:50] Kazuya**
W-Well, kind of...
**[22:52] Kukuri**
So this is just me showin' my gratitude!
**[22:58] Kukuri**
I'm startin' to feel light-headed...
and it's kinda nice...
**[23:02] Kazuya**
Kanayama-san, help!
**[23:04] Taguri**
That'll be 20,000 yen.
**[23:05] Kazuya**
You're charging?!
**[23:06] Taguri**
I can take it from there.
Come on, Kukuri-chan.
**[23:14] Kazuya**
Oh, come on!
**[23:15] Taguri**
Well, it's a good thing we're in the bath!

**[00:02] Kukuri**
I feel real bad...
**[00:04] Kazuya**
Are you okay, Kukuri-chan?
**[00:10] Taguri**
Kukuri-chan's cute even when she's smashed!
**[00:13] Kiriha**
Pathetic, letting your
drinking get away from you.
**[00:17] Kiriha**
Now, Taguri...
**[00:20] Kiriha**
Hey!
**[00:21] Kiriha**
A regional goddess has come under assault.
That's more or less unheard of.
**[00:26] Kiriha**
How are you two planning to deal with this?
**[00:28] Taguri**
Good question...
**[00:30] Taguri**
For now, I've contacted Takamagahara.
**[00:33] Kazuya**
Takamagahara?
**[00:35] Taguri**
Yes.
**[00:35] Taguri**
They essentially manage the
gods that govern Japan.
**[00:39] Kazuya**
Wow. So they might send
another god to come and help?
**[00:44] Taguri**
Sadly, that's not likely.
**[00:47] Taguri**
Minor deities like myself lose their
strength if they leave their territory,
**[00:53] Taguri**
and when one domain has two gods in it,
**[00:55] Taguri**
it creates a spiritual imbalance
that causes malison disturbances.
**[01:00] Taguri**
Which would mean more aberrations,
and even more strain on Kukuri-chan.
**[01:06] Kazuya**
So we can't have Honoka-sama
come and help, either?
**[01:10] Kiriha**
Do you mean to tell me we're out of options?
**[01:12] Taguri**
Not at all.
**[01:13] Taguri**
The gods of this region
**[01:15] Taguri**
will spare no effort to help, myself included.
**[01:18] Taguri**
And it sounds like Takamagahara
sent a message to Tsuzuraden.
**[01:22] Taguri**
I'm sure they'll send
someone qualified to help.
**[01:27] Kazuya**
Tsuzuraden... That's where they
train malison exorcists, right?
**[01:33] Kiriha**
I'm not sure we can expect much from them.
**[01:38] Kiriha**
Who could that be at this hour?
**[01:42] Kiriha**
You two?
**[01:44] Sunao**
It's good to see you again, Kiriha-sama.

"Revolt."
**[03:43] Akito**
What the...
**[03:44] Mimane**
Hey, hey, what the heck's going on here?!
**[03:48] Arumi**
Brother, we're under attack!
**[03:53] Mimane**
What are these grimy things?!
**[03:56] Azami**
Clay from a pottery wheel.
**[03:57] Akito**
A pottery wheel?
**[03:58] Akito**
That'd be Sanjuurou...
**[04:00] Akito**
But he's usually only able to create
enough clay for a single body!
**[04:05] Yasuki**
Stay on your toes. They're not done.
**[04:09] Azami**
Shield Weave.
**[04:13] Yasuki**
There's no end to them...
**[04:14] Azami**
Only one of the clay dummies is real.
**[04:18] Azami**
Find it. Kill it.
**[04:20] Akito**
But Sanjuurou is...
**[04:21] Azami**
He's destroyed many of Mayoiga's tsukumogami.
**[04:26] Akito**
Mimane!
**[04:28] Mimane**
Gotcha!
**[04:31] Mimane**
Found him!
**[04:32] Mimane**
Four rows from the back,
seventh from the right!
**[04:47] Arumi**
Why would Sanjuurou attack us?
**[04:51] Akito**
What in the world is happening in Mayoiga?
**[04:54] Chikage**
Hey!
**[04:56] Aktio**
Chikage?
**[04:57] Chikage**
Good work.
**[04:59] Chikage**
I'm glad you're all okay.
**[05:00] Arumi**
It's good to see you, too, Chikage-san.
**[05:03] Akito**
What's going on around here?
**[05:05] Chikage**
Well, this guy was the last
of the troublemakers...
**[05:11] Chikage**
But you're better off asking
Old Bowl for the details.
**[05:13] Mimane**
Chikage!
**[05:16] Mimane**
We're back, Chikage!
**[05:18] Chikage**
Hey, there. Good to see you.
**[05:27] ---**
Shared Fate, Shared Dream
**[05:28] Akito**
The entire radical group rebelled together?!
**[05:30] ---**
Shared Fate, Shared Dream
**[05:31] Bowl**
That's right.
**[05:31] Bowl**
They insisted on attacking the
regional god as soon as possible
**[05:34] Bowl**
and would not listen to reason.
**[05:37] Akito**
I see. And with Genbu and
the others having left...
**[05:40] Bowl**
Indeed.
**[05:41] Bowl**
Genbu and his group were at
the center of the radicals,
**[05:44] Bowl**
and consequently were keeping them in check.
**[05:47] Bowl**
With their leaders gone,
the rest decided to run amok.
**[05:52] Yasuki**
But Chikage and the other village
leaders are among our most powerful.
**[05:56] Yasuki**
The agitators should've known they stood no
chance, especially without Genbu's group.
**[06:01] Bowl**
And that is why they committed
the most forbidden of acts...
**[06:06] Bowl**
Feeding on humans.
**[06:09] Bowl**
A tsukumogami gets their strength
by working for a human.
**[06:14] Bowl**
But they performed the heretical art
that involves devouring a human's life,
**[06:18] Bowl**
man-eating.
**[06:20] Bowl**
Man-eating tsukumogami gain incredible power,
**[06:24] Bowl**
but over time, they gradually lose
their minds, becoming monsters.
**[06:28] Bowl**
Mayoiga is a gathering of tsukumogami
who are unable to bear the humans' tyranny.
**[06:33] Bowl**
But even so, without humans,
there can be no tsukumogami.
**[06:37] Bowl**
As such, we are forbidden to defy the
laws of nature. Do you understand?
**[06:41] Akito**
Yes, sir.
**[06:44] Bowl**
Good. Now, tell me what's
happened on your end...
**[06:46] Bowl**
Shared Fate, Shared Dream
**[06:51] Bowl**
I see. Genbu and the others were killed...
**[06:54] Bowl**
Weakened or otherwise,
a regional god is still a god.
**[06:56] Bowl**
At this point, I doubt the entire
village would stand any chance.
**[07:02] Bowl**
And Miurahi-sama's shard will
only last a month or two more.
**[07:06] Bowl**
We're running out of time.
**[07:08] Bowl**
I'd like to consult a fortune
before deciding what to do next...
**[07:15] Bowl**
Where is Arumi, anyway?
Mimane and Azami, as well.
**[07:18] Bowl**
They weren't killed, were they?!
**[07:22] Akito**
They just got a bit muddy
and headed to the bath.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Chikage**
I can't believe you!
**[07:26] Bowl**
Okay—
**[07:28] Bowl**
Th-The toilet! I just need to use the toilet!
**[07:31] Bowl**
Release me!
**[07:41] Chikage**
Mimane can be such a little nuisance.
**[07:43] Arumi**
I'm glad no one was hurt.
**[07:47] Chikage**
Hey! Rinse off first!
**[07:53] Chikage**
Azami, that mound's a
projection of yours, right?
**[07:57] Chikage**
You take pretty good care of it.
**[08:00] Azami**
Yes. It's important.
**[08:02] Azami**
Very important.
**[08:04] Mimane**
Then I'll help you wash it!
**[08:07] Azami**
No need.
**[08:08] Mimane**
Aw, come on!
**[08:13] Mimane**
Boing, boing!
**[08:16] Azami**
Hands off.
**[08:18] Mimane**
Then I'll wash you off instead, Azami!
Would that be okay?
**[08:22] Azami**
Well... fine.
**[08:25] Arumi**
*I feel like I should warn her...*
**[08:28] Mimane**
Squish, squish! Rub, rub!
**[08:32] Mimane**
There you go! Washy-wash!
**[08:32] Azami**
That's enough! I'm already clean!
**[08:42] Bowl**
Oh, dear... I really do need
to use the toilet now...
**[08:48] Bowl**
Oh... n-no...

Normally you only get one malison

**[09:34] Kukuri**
But the folks at Tsuzuraden
made emergency arrangements.
**[09:38] Sunao**
That being the case, we'll be
staying here for the time being.
**[09:42] Kotetsu**
Thank you for having us.
**[09:43] Kazuya**

Where does he sit?

Huh?

Hey! 2-4's supposed to have
a hot new transfer student!
**[10:16] Shirou**
And she's legit cute!
**[10:18] Kazuya**
We know.
**[10:19] Kiriha**
So she's in another class?
**[10:20] Shirou**
Man, talk about a lukewarm response.
**[10:26] Classmates**
Sumeragi-san seems kind of down.
**[10:29] Classmates**
Maybe she misses her old school?
**[10:33] Sunao**
* It's not over yet!*
* I'll still have plenty of chances!*
**[10:36] Classmates**
And now she's fired up?
**[10:38] Classmates**
That's the look of someone
with prey on their mind.

**[10:42] Shirou**

**[10:43] Shirou**
The beautiful transfer student's
joining the Troubleshooters' Office?!
**[10:46] Shirou**
Explain, Kazuya!
**[10:49] Kazuya**
This is Sumeragi Sunao-san.
She used to go to school in Komiya—
**[10:52] Shirou**
Not that part!
**[10:54] Shirou**
I'm asking why in the hell you
have yet another hot lady friend!
**[10:58] Kazuya**
She's a malison exorcist, too!
**[11:01] Kazuya**
There was actually an attack
from this place called Mayoiga,
**[11:04] Kazuya**
whose tsukumogami are targeting Kukuri-chan.
**[11:07] Kazuya**
That's why she's here to help.
**[11:10] Chisato**
I had no idea.
**[11:13] Osamu**
Then Sumeragi has a tsugumomo, as well?
**[11:16] Sunao**
Yes.
**[11:23] Kotetsu**
I'm the sword tsukumogami, Kotetsu.
**[11:26] Kotetsu**
It's nice to meet you.
**[11:28] Chisato**
Nice to meet you.
**[11:29] Shirou**
That explains the sudden transfer.
**[11:32] Shirou**
Must be a drag having to commute
from the next town over, though.
**[11:35] Sunao**
Oh, it's not a problem.
I'm staying at the Kagami house.
**[11:39] Shirou**
Oh, well, that's a relief!
**[11:42] Shirou**
How many times, you bastard?!
**[11:44] Shirou**
How many times are you
going to hog all the fun?!
**[11:47] Chisato**
*Four women staying at the Kagami house...*
**[11:49] Chisato**
*Plus his sister.*
**[11:51] Chisato**
*Maybe I should move in, too?*

It wasn't my idea!

Is this little talk over?

I need to see you for a sec.
**[12:06] Sunao**
You know why I called you out here, right?
**[12:11] Kazuya**
No, not at all...
**[12:12] ---**
What?!
**[12:13] Kazuya**
Oh, wait, is this about before?
**[12:17] Kazuya**
The thing about training together?
**[12:19] Sunao**
Exactly!
**[12:20] Kazuya**
Ow!
**[12:21] Sunao**
Now apologize for standing me up when
I spent every single day waiting for you!
**[12:28] Kazuya**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[12:30] Sunao**
Granted, you probably would've wussed out
and not been able to stick with my training!
**[12:35] Sunao**
But you can't escape now!
Because... Because...
**[12:39] Sunao**
Because we live together now!
**[12:42] Kotetsu**
Sunao-sama!
**[12:45] Sunao**
Put your back into it!
**[12:46] Sunao**
Your footwork is terrible!
**[12:48] Sunao**
And...
**[12:49] Sunao**
your defense is weak!
**[12:51] Sunao**
Well?!
**[12:52] Kazuya**
I admit defeat.
**[12:53] Sunao**
You've gotten a little bit better,
**[12:55] Sunao**
but your unarmed martial arts
still have a long way to go.
**[12:58] Kazuya**
I-I guess so. You're really strong, Sunao-san.
**[13:03] Sunao**
Honestly, you need to get it together.
**[13:05] Sunao**
You'll never be able to
inherit our school otherwise.
**[13:08] Kazuya**
Huh? Inherit?
**[13:10] Sunao**
That's not what I meant!
**[13:11] Sunao**
I didn't mean to imply we'd be getting
married or you'd join my family!
**[13:14] Sunao**
You just need to shape up, is all!
**[13:17] Kazuya**
Okay...
**[13:18] Sunao**
Ugh, I can't believe that
actually made me sweat...
**[13:22] Sunao**
Anyway, let's spar with
our tsugumomo this time.
**[13:25] Sunao**
Where's Kiriha-sama?
**[13:26] Kazuya**
Well, she's been kind of busy lately...
**[13:36] Kazuya**
Um... You could've just
gone in first, Sunao-san.
**[13:41] Sunao**
Don't be stupid. Guests shouldn't
be the first ones in the bath.
**[13:46] Sunao**
Plus, there are other concerns.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Mom**
Staying at the Kagami household?
**[13:53] (Flashback) Mom**
Given the circumstances,
I expect you to fulfill your duty.
**[13:57] (Flashback) Sunao**
Right!
**[13:58] (Flashback) Mom**
This is actually an opportunity.
**[14:01] Sign**
Fait accompli
"Established Fact"
When something has happened before
anyone has a chance to protest,
creating a forced state of acceptance
**[14:01] (Flashback) Mom**
It's the perfect chance to begin a
physical relationship with Kazuya-san.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Sunao**
Mother?!
**[14:06] (Flashback) Mom**
If you intend to inherit the
Sumeragi school of swordplay,
**[14:09] (Flashback) Mom**
there's no better partner than someone
who was able to defeat you in combat.
**[14:14] (Flashback) Mom**
This works out for you, as well,
given your affection for him.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Sunao**
I-I never said that I...
**[14:21] (Flashback) Mom**
Did you think I wouldn't notice
this photo in your bag?
**[14:27] (Flashback) Mom**
Use this chance to grow closer to him.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Mom**
You know what will happen if you
fail to accomplish anything...
**[14:34] (Flashback) Mom**
Don't you?
**[14:40] Sunao**
It was her idea.
**[14:41] Kazuya**
I see.
**[14:43] Sunao**
Anyway, this is to fool her!
**[14:46] Sunao**
So we'll bathe together! Okay?
**[14:49] Kazuya**
R-Right!
**[14:50] Kazuya**
Uh, well, I'll wash off now,
so could you hand me a sponge?
**[14:55] Sunao**
Oh, right.
**[14:58] Sunao**
Here.
**[14:59] Kazuya**
Thanks.
**[15:04] Kazuya**
What?!
**[15:05] Sunao**
Don't look, stupid!
**[15:13] Sunao**
It's a bit cramped, huh?
**[15:15] Kazuya**
Well, yeah.
**[15:16] Kazuya**
Our house isn't as big as yours...
**[15:20] Kazuya**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:25] Sunao**
Hey.
**[15:27] Sunao**
Did something happen with Kiriha-sama?
**[15:30] Kazuya**
Well, when Mayoiga attacked, I gave
Kiriha-san a command with her real name.
**[15:38] Kazuya**
I promised I wouldn't do it again,
but she just won't forgive me...
**[15:42] Kazuya**
I don't know what to do.
**[15:44] Sunao**
That's not all you don't know.
**[15:48] Sunao**
For instance, you don't
know why she's really mad.
**[15:51] Kazuya**
You do?! Could you tell me?!
**[15:53] Sunao**
Keep the blindfold on, stupid!
**[15:57] Sunao**
Listen. I think Kiriha-sama's problem is...
**[16:01] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san!
**[16:02] Kazuya**
Please, hear me out, Kiriha-san.
**[16:04] Kazuya**
I...
**[16:06] Kazuya**
I want...
**[16:08] Kazuya**
You're the only tsukumogami I want to
partner with for my entire life, Kiriha-san!
**[16:13] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:14] (Flashback) Sunao**
I'm sure being treated like a tool came as a
**[16:18] (Flashback) Sunao**
bigger shock to her than
being given a command.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Sunao**
Think about it. Tools can
be replaced, can't they?
**[16:24] (Flashback) Kazuya**
But I didn't mean to...
**[16:27] (Flashback) Sunao**
It doesn't matter what you intended,
dummy, if that's the way she took it.
**[16:33] Kiriha**
What in the world brought this on?!
**[16:35] Kazuya**
Well... there's no one who can replace you.
**[16:39] Kazuya**
You're... the only person like
you that I know, Kiriha-san.
**[16:43] Kazuya**
So...
**[16:44] Kazuya**
that means you're really important to me!
**[16:50] Kiriha**
Pudding, then.
**[16:52] Kiriha**
Ten richly-smooth puddings from
Hamachiya, and you'll be absolved.
**[16:56] Kazuya**
Okay!
**[17:00] Kukuri**
All right, time for some tsugumomo sparring.
**[17:03] Kukuri**
Now, we can't have ya getting wiped
out too bad, so no Divine Possession.
**[17:08] Kukuri**
Ready, and...
**[17:11] Kukuri**
Begin!
**[17:13] Kazuya**
Obi Jab!
**[17:14] Kotetsu**
Five?! He could only project three before!
**[17:16] Sunao**
I can handle that!
**[17:18] ---**
Empty Blade: Four Claws!
**[17:20] Kazuya**
Shield Weave!
**[17:26] Kiriha**
She's faster to strike now.
**[17:28] Kazuya**
And she doesn't leave herself
open after attacking anymore.
**[17:30] Kazuya**
Four-Point Knife Thrust!
**[17:32] Sunao**
Secret Sword:
**[17:33] Sunao**
Wing Blade!
**[17:39] Shirou**
Holy cow!
**[17:44] Kiriha**
Very nice, you two!
**[17:46] Kiriha**
You're nothing like you were before.
**[17:48] Sunao**
Thank you very much.
**[17:49] Sunao**
The two of you have improved a lot, as well.
**[17:52] Kukuri**
You done real good to come this far!
**[17:54] Kukuri**
Seems like we got some reliable help.
**[17:56] Kiriha**
I'd still say we've got the edge.
**[17:59] Sunao**
Oh, we'll surpass you in no time.
**[18:01] Kazuya**
Sunao-san!
**[18:04] Kazuya**
Thank you so much for
helping me with Kiriha-san!
**[18:09] Sunao**
You don't need to thank me. You helped
me with Kotetsu before, remember?
**[18:13] Kazuya**
Sunao-san...
**[18:15] Kazuya**
You know, Sunao-san, when I think of you...
**[18:18] Sunao**
*Wait, is he...*
**[18:20] Kazuya**
I couldn't ask for a better friend!
**[18:26] Kazuya**
Um, Sunao-san?
**[18:28] Kiriha**
What's with you two? Did you have a fight?
**[18:31] Kazuya**
I really don't know.
**[18:33] Kazuya**
You have to help me, Kiriha-san!
**[18:36] Kazuya**
You've gotta know something, Kiriha-san!
**[18:38] Kiriha**
Cease your pestering.
**[18:40] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san, please!
**[18:42] Kiriha**
You're pitiful.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Thanks for helping us,
Ashimine-kun, Mimane-chan.
**[18:53] (Flashback) Mimane**
Don't sweat it!
**[18:57] (Flashback) Akito**
What will you do when that
flute tsukumogami is revived?
**[19:01] (Flashback) Akito**
Torture answers out of her?
**[19:03] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Of course not. I'd never do that.
**[19:06] (Flashback) Kazuya**
It's true that we could use answers,
**[19:09] (Flashback) Kazuya**
but I don't think forcing it is a good idea.
**[19:12] (Flashback) Kazuya**
I asked Kukuri-chan about it,
and apparently Mayoiga is
**[19:15] (Flashback) Kazuya**
where a bunch of tsukumogami who had
terrible human partners have gathered.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Kazuya**
She might've been treated
poorly by humans, too.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Kazuya**
If she does wake up, I'd like
to find her a good partner.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Akito**
Do you think you'll actually be able to?
**[19:32] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Probably not by myself, but if I ask the
other exorcists and the gods for help...
**[19:37] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Maybe we can find good partners for all
tsukumogami in Mayoiga, not just her.
**[19:44] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Then they wouldn't have
to fight the gods, right?
**[19:50] Akito**
*Tsukumogami and humans can't coexist.*
**[19:53] Akito**
* I've seen proof enough*
* of that, for centuries.*
**[19:57] Akito**
*He's just being naïve.*
**[19:59] Arumi**
Brother.
**[20:01] Arumi**
Old Bowl is calling for everyone.
**[20:04] Akito**
All right.
**[20:06] Bowl**
To decide on how to deal with things going
forward, I've had Arumi read a fortune.
**[20:12] Bowl**
And what she saw was two shards.
**[20:16] Akito**
Two of them?
**[20:17] Bowl**
With that as a sign,
I've come to a decision.
**[20:21] Bowl**
Please come out, Miurahi-sama.
**[20:28] Miurahi**
This is the first time
I'm meeting some of you.
**[20:30] Miurahi**
Given how long I've been
asleep, that's only natural.
**[20:34] Miurahi**
So allow me to introduce myself.
**[20:36] Miurahi**
I am Miurahi, the tsukumogami of Mayoiga.
**[20:40] Miurahi**
Old Bowl has brought me up
to date on what has transpired.
**[20:43] Miurahi**
My failings have caused you
all a great deal of trouble.
**[20:48] Miurahi**
I'm sorry.
**[20:50] Bowl**
Come now, there's no need
for that, Miurahi-sama!
**[20:53] Chikage**
I'm more worried about how the shard
goes out of control when you're awake.
**[20:57] Chikage**
Are you okay?
**[20:59] Miurahi**
Yes. The shard has lost the majority
of its power, compared to before.
**[21:04] Miurahi**
I can control it now.
**[21:06] Miurahi**
As ironic as that is...
**[21:08] Bowl**
Before we discuss this matter,
waking Miurahi-sama was my decision.
**[21:14] Bowl**
And I did so because I believe we
no longer have the luxury of waiting.
**[21:20] Bowl**
The two shards shone in the crystal ball...
**[21:23] Bowl**
I believe it speaks to a confrontation between
Miurahi-sama and the regional goddess,
**[21:27] Bowl**
each with their own shard.
**[21:31] Chikage**
Then you wanted a meeting about...
**[21:35] Bowl**
Mayoiga is going to attack
the land of the goddess.
**[21:40] Bowl**
We will eliminate any resident
gods and malison exorcists.
**[21:46] Miurahi**
And I will defeat the regional goddess.

**[00:09] Priest**
More nice weather today.
**[00:19] Priest**
Wh-What in the world is that?
**[00:22] Priest**
A giant boat... Maybe a boat tsukumogami?
**[00:27] Priest**
People... No, they're tsukumogami. Hang on...
**[00:32] Priest**
Are those the Mayoiga villagers?!
**[00:36] Miyurahi**
A fusion of Mayoiga with the
fishing boat, *Kicchomaru*.
**[00:39] Miyurahi**
This should ensure that no one will run out
of spiritual strength during our journey.
**[00:45] Mimane**
We're so high up! Wow!
**[00:48] Arumi**
Miurahi-sama can do this kind of thing?
**[00:50] Akito**
It's incredible...
**[00:53] Miyurahi**
No, it's all thanks to the shard.
**[00:55] Miyurahi**
The fusion and flight are taken care of.
**[00:57] Miyurahi**
Next, we need to be hidden.
**[00:59] Miyurahi**
That'll make sure malison exorcists
and gods don't interfere.
**[01:12] Priest**
It vanished?
**[01:17] Kukuri**
Say what?!
**[01:19] Kukuri**
I getcha.
**[01:20] Kiriha**
What is it? Did something happen?
**[01:23] Kukuri**
Seems a giant boat just took to the
skies from the mountains up in Tohoku.
**[01:28] Kiriha**
A boat... in the mountains?
**[01:31] Kazuya**
Does that mean...
**[01:32] Kukuri**
Yeah. I figure it's gotta
be the Mayoiga folks.
**[01:36] Kukuri**
And they're prob'ly headed for Kamioka.
**[01:39] Kukuri**
This ain't gonna be like last time.
**[01:42] Kukuri**
They're comin' at us with everything
they've got to settle this.
**[01:46] Kazuya**
Oh, no.
**[01:48] Kazuya**

**[03:35] Taguri**
It's finally time.
**[03:40] Kazuya**
Taguri-san, who's this?
**[03:42] Taguri**
Oh, this is Old Bell from the Tenshou Shrine.
***SIGN*** Enshrined Deity of Tenshou Shrine
Yagokoro Omoinokane no Mikoto
**[03:46] Omoikane**
The name's Yagokoro Omoinokane no Mikoto.
**[03:49] Omoikane**
Taguri-chan here asked me to help out.
**[03:53] Kazuya**
Wait...
**[03:55] Kazuya**
Yagokoro-san... as in from
the malison forecast?
**[03:57] Taguri**
Yep! He's a weather god.
**[04:00] Taguri**
We're up against quite the little army.
**[04:02] Taguri**
You sure you've still got
enough fight for this?
**[04:05] Omoikane**
Well, I'd better charge up
my vitality while I can!
**[04:10] Sign**
Rub Rub Rub Rub Rub Rub Rub
**[04:11] Taguri**
Give that another shot after
you've become a little girl.
**[04:15] Kazuya**
Brutal...
**[04:16] Kukuri**
Heck no!
**[04:18] Kukuri**
Yer hurt, so buzz off!
**[04:20] Kokuyou**
I will not.
**[04:21] Kokuyou**
This is no time for me to be bedridden.
**[04:23] Kazuya**
Kokuyou-san...
**[04:24] Kiriha**
You can hardly blame her,
given the danger Kukuri is in.
**[04:27] Kukuri**
Yeah, but...
**[04:29] Kazuya**
By the way, you were unable
to reach Akito and Mimane, right?
**[04:32] Kazuya**
Yeah. I was hoping they'd help...
**[04:36] Kukuri**
Yer all doing this for my sake...
I sure am grateful.
**[04:41] Kukuri**
* But still, we're takin' on a bunch*
* of powerful tsukumogami.*
**[04:46] Kukuri**
*If push comes to shove, I'll use my last resort.*
**[04:54] Miurahi**
We're not to hurt the malison exorcist?
**[04:56] Miurahi**
That's going to be difficult.
**[04:58] Miurahi**
We're trying to kill the god of this land.
**[05:01] Miurahi**
The exorcist will naturally
try to prevent that.
**[05:03] Miurahi**
I doubt we can avoid fighting him.
**[05:06] Azami**
It was a deal. Keep your end.
**[05:09] Bowl**
You're asking too much, Azami.
**[05:12] Bowl**
We'll do what we can, but...
**[05:20] Akito**
Please, wait!
**[05:21] Akito**
Arumi and I will deal with
Kagami Kazuya and Kiriha!
**[05:24] Akito**
We're acquainted with them.
We'll be able to keep them occupied!
**[05:30] Azami**
Fine.
**[05:32] Azami**
But I won't be joining you.
**[05:36] Bowl**
Why?
**[05:38] Azami**
Because I can't enter Kamioka.
**[05:43] Azami**
Not while this barrier stands.
**[05:51] Bowl**
We're about to enter the air over Kamioka.
**[05:54] Miurahi**
Right.
**[05:58] Miurahi**
As you all know, my shard's power
is on the verge of running out.
**[06:02] Miurahi**
We must kill the goddess and take her shard.
**[06:06] Miurahi**
Retreating is not even an option anymore.
**[06:10] Miurahi**
This will be the battle that
decides the fate of Mayoiga.
**[06:14] Miurahi**
Remember that.
**[06:18] Chikage**
What is this?!
**[06:20] Bowl**
A mesh of fire?!
**[06:22] Bowl**
Our invisibility has been dispelled!
**[06:25] Honoka**
There you are!
**[06:27] Bowl**
Who goes there?!
**[06:30] Honoka**
The goddess of Komiya,
the area you're flying over...
**[06:32] Honoka**
The mighty Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!
**[06:34] Chikage**
A different regional goddess?!
**[06:35] Chikage**
How did you see through our invisibility?
**[06:38] Honoka**
Nothing's easier than ambushing people
making a beeline for their target.
**[06:44] Bowl**
Even if you knew where we were headed,
that's too little to have guessed...
**[06:47] Bowl**
Just how wide of a net did
you set for us, you monster?!
**[06:52] Honoka**
Your stupid scheme's already
spoiled, so run on home.
**[06:55] Honoka**
Go now and I won't even hurt you.
**[06:57] Honoka**
Might as well enjoy the time you've got left.
**[07:00] Miurahi**
We may be at a disadvantage
against a goddess,
**[07:03] Miurahi**
but we accounted for disruptions
in malison before setting out.
**[07:07] Miurahi**
Mimane, take care of it.
**[07:09] Mimane**
Aye-aye, sir!
**[07:12] Honoka**
So you wanna do this?
**[07:14] Honoka**
Probably underestimating me
since I'm just a projection.
**[07:17] Honoka**
Bad idea!
**[07:20] Miurahi**
Defensive positions!
**[07:21] Honoka**
Skyfire!
**[07:32] Honoka**
So they withstood that, huh?
**[07:33] Honoka**
Should've expected as much from such
a venerable bunch of tsukumogami.
**[07:37] Miurahi**
We will not reach our goal if
we can't evade this goddess!
**[07:41] Miurahi**
Let's do this, everyone!
**[07:43] Honoka**
You're on!
***SIGN*** Dragon
**[08:29] Honoka**
Karmic Skyfire...
***SIGN*** Karmic Skyfire: Flame-Eating Raptor
**[08:32] Honoka**

**[08:35] Honoka**
Blasted to kindling! Serves you right.
**[08:40] Mimane**
Ha ha, fooled you!
**[08:43] Mimane**
That was just a phony
I whipped up with a mirror!
**[08:47] Honoka**
No wonder it seemed so easy!
**[08:50] Honoka**
* There's no way two or three tsukumogami*
* could've pulled off a ruse like that.*
**[08:56] Honoka**
* The rest are probably still out*
* there, and invisible again.*
**[09:00] Honoka**
*But they can't have gotten far...*
**[09:04] Honoka**
*I get it!*
**[09:06] Honoka**
* They want to slow me down.*
* They're using the boat as a decoy,*
**[09:09] Honoka**
*with their main forces heading into Kamioka.*
**[09:12] Honoka**
Then that's where I'm—
**[09:13] Yasuki**
Stop, fire goddess.
**[09:15] Honoka**
What is it? I'm done with you fools.
**[09:17] Yasuki**
That clash of spiritual power just now is
likely to disturb malison in this area.
**[09:22] Yasuki**
That's going to give rise to
aberrations that will cause chaos.
**[09:26] Yasuki**
The gods of this region, and its
malison exorcist, will take action...
**[09:30] Yasuki**
And we will then hunt them down.
**[09:33] Yasuki**
Are you going to abandon your
duty and let that happen?
**[09:37] Hinoka**
You pains in the ass...
**[09:48] Miurahi**
I don't believe we've met before.
**[09:50] Miurahi**
Arbitrator of the gods, guardian of rainfall...
**[09:54] Miurahi**
Symbol of the holy mountains of Kaga,
one of the great divine pillars...
**[09:58] Miurahi**
The patron deity of Hakusan Shrine...
**[10:00] Miurahi**
Kukurihime no Kami no Mikoto.
**[10:03] Miurahi**
It's an honor to meet you.
**[10:05] Kukuri**
The youkai incarnation
of the Miura residence,
**[10:06] Kukuri**
home to wealthy merchants
of Tsuchibuchi Village...
**[10:09] Kukuri**
Founder and leader of the village for
tsukumogami without masters, Mayoiga.
**[10:15] Kukuri**
You must be Miurahi.
I've been wanting to see you.
**[10:19] Miurahi**
Mayoiga is a paradise for tsukumogami
abandoned by selfish masters
**[10:22] Miurahi**
and forsaken by merciless gods.
**[10:27] Miurahi**
And now, with the loss of our shard's
spiritual strength, it is in danger.
**[10:32] Miurahi**
Though the gods may save men,
they did not save us tsukumogami.
**[10:36] Miurahi**
You will atone for this injustice
by surrendering your shard.
**[10:41] Kukuri**
It ain't that Iwanagahime
no Mikoto chose not to
**[10:44] Kukuri**
save the tsukumogami a millennium ago.
**[10:46] Kukuri**
She *couldn't* save 'em.
**[10:49] Kukuri**
Gods ain't all-powerful.
**[10:52] Kukuri**
But we do all we can,
trying to live up to our duties.
**[10:55] Kukuri**
God, human, or tsukumogami,
**[10:57] Kukuri**
you do what you can with what
you've got, and hope for the best.
**[11:01] Kukuri**
You reach for more than that,
**[11:03] Kukuri**
and it'll all slip through yer fingers.
**[11:05] Kukuri**
Those limits apply to everyone.
**[11:09] Kukuri**
Tsukumogami can't exist without humans.
**[11:12] Kukuri**
And if you've forgotten that...
**[11:15] Kukuri**
I ain't giving you anything!
**[11:29] Kazuya**
She's being pushed back!
**[11:30] Kiriha**
Not good!
**[11:31] Kazuya**
Kukuri-chan!
**[11:34] Kazuya**
Let me help!
**[11:35] Kukuri**
Nah! Just watch my back!
**[11:37] Kazuya**
But...
**[11:40] Kukuri**
*I'm outta options...*
**[11:43] Kukuri**
Barrier, release!
**[11:50] Chikage**
Is that...
**[11:52] Miurahi**
It can't be!
***SIGN*** Patron Deity of Hakusan Shrine

**[12:12] Miurahi**
*Is this her true form? Her true strength?!*
**[12:21] Miurahi**
* How much power was she*
* expending on that barrier?!*
**[12:25] Kukuri**
Come forth, great swell of the heavens...
**[12:29] Kukuri**
Water Impact.
**[12:36] Chikage**
Miurahi-sama!
**[12:58] Kukuri**
This battle is over.
**[12:59] Chikage**
Miurahi-sama!
**[13:00] Miurahi**
Stay back!
**[13:02] Miurahi**
It's not... over yet....
**[13:15] Kazuya**
Please, stop!
**[13:17] Kazuya**
If we can find good partners for all of you,
**[13:19] Kazuya**
there won't have to be any more fighting!
**[13:23] Kazuya**
I'll help! It might not be soon,
but with someone you can trust, one day...
**[13:31] Miurahi**
And when will that be? A thousand
years from now? Two thousand?
**[13:36] Miurahi**
Do the men and gods who look down
upon us now deign to pity us?
**[13:41] Miurahi**
I've committed the crime
of murdering a god.
**[13:45] Miurahi**
There is no other path for me!
**[13:59] ---**
Wh... What...
**[14:05] Kokuyou**
You were waiting for this...
**[14:07] Kokuyou**
For the moment the barrier
was released. Weren't you?

**[14:19] Kokuyou**
The shard? Oh, no!
**[14:41] Kazuya**
Is that...

Kanaka-sama?!
**[15:02] Chikage**
Miurahi-sama...
**[15:05] Chikage**
Why would they...
**[15:09] Akito**
How? How didn't we see this coming?!
**[15:13] (Flashback) Miurahi**
I will fight the regional goddess alone.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Miurahi**
The rest of you will stay back.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Miurahi**
I doubt they want to kill
anyone unless they need to.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Miurahi**
If I step forward by myself,
I imagine she will do the same.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Miurahi**
Could you check and see
if this decision is wise?
**[15:34] (Flashback) Arumi**
Yes.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Arumi**
It shouldn't be a problem.
**[15:41] (Flashback) Miurahi**
Akito, Arumi, the technique
you two perform together...
**[15:45] (Flashback) Miurahi**
Guiding Foresight and Mental Link?
**[15:48] (Flashback) Arumi**
Right. Guiding Foresight lets me
see a few moments into the future,
**[15:52] (Flashback) Arumi**
but I'm unable to move while using it.
**[15:55] (Flashback) Arumi**
Which is why...
**[15:57] (Flashback) Arumi**
I use this hair ornament to communicate
what I see to my brother with Mental Link.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Miurahi**
I'd like the two of you to monitor
things from a distance, then.
**[16:08] (Flashback) Miurahi**
If you sense anything amiss,
try to prevent it, or warn me.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Akito**
Understood.
**[16:17] Akito**
We were watching the future
with Guiding Foresight!
**[16:22] Akito**
Why weren't we able to
predict Azami's attack?!
**[16:25] Akito**
After all this time,
checking so many fortunes,
**[16:29] Akito**
we've always tried to make the
best decision for Mayoiga!
**[16:34] Akito**
And this is the result?!
**[16:39] ---**
Tsk.
**[16:44] Honoka**
The bow and arrow tsukumogami gets
duplicated by the mirror tsukumogami...
**[16:48] Honoka**
What a damned pain.
**[16:51] Honoka**
What's that?
**[16:55] Yasuki**
Why did you become visible?!
**[16:57] Yasuki**
What's going on, Mifune?!
She's going to target you!
**[16:59] Mifune**
I don't know! But Miurahi-sama's
power just vanished!
**[17:05] Mifune**
I can't... hold on...
**[17:14] Bowl**
They're reverting to their original forms!
**[17:16] Bowl**
Has Mayoiga's protection vanished?!
**[17:20] Bowl**
Shien, can you use your smoke
to gather up the others?
**[17:23] Shien**
I can't! This is as much as I can manage!
**[17:33] Mimane**
Guys!
**[17:39] Honoka**
How's that?! I got all
your survivors right here!
**[17:43] Bowl**
Wh-Why would you help us?!
**[17:45] Honoka**
Why? Because the fight's over!
**[17:49] Honoka**
Your boat is falling apart and your
buddies are running out of strength
**[17:52] Honoka**
because Miurahi is dead, right?
**[17:55] Honoka**
If you guys come quietly,
I'll use my power to keep you alive!
**[17:59] Honoka**
What's your call?!
**[18:02] Honoka**
The longer you wait,
the more casualties you risk!
**[18:07] Bowl**
I understand. We'll obey.
**[18:09] Bowl**
Please, help our villagers.
**[18:24] Kanaka**
Oh, yikes! I'm naked!
**[18:26] Kanaka**
Seriously?
**[18:30] Kanaka**
There we go.
**[18:35] Kanaka**
Thank you two so much!
**[18:38] Kanaka**
Nice work!
**[18:45] Kanaka**
Now, then...
**[18:46] Kanaka**
Hi, gang! It's been a while!
**[18:52] Kiriha**
Impossible...
**[18:54] Kiriha**
I know that I killed Kanaka!
**[18:58] Kiriha**
I pierced her heart!
**[19:00] Kiriha**
So how... is she alive?!
**[19:03] Kiriha**
What is this, Kukuri?!
**[19:05] Kukuri**
We do not have the time
for a full explanation.
**[19:10] Kukuri**
Kazuya-san, listen closely.
**[19:14] Kukuri**
Those two girls, Azami,
are an amasogi that you created.
**[19:21] Kazuya**
Me?
**[19:23] Kukuri**
She possessed Kanaka,
who is now a part of them.
**[19:35] Kazuya**
I... I created her?
**[19:39] Kazuya**
And Mom was possessed?
**[19:43] Kazuya**
And after that...
**[19:59] Kiriha**
Kazuya!
**[20:02] Kiriha**
Kanaka was strong. But...
**[20:06] Kiriha**
A weakness in her mind left her vulnerable,
and she was tsukumo-possessed.
**[20:12] Kazuya**
How...
**[20:13] Kiriha**
Kazuya!
**[20:14] Kazuya**
How can we save my mom?!
**[20:17] Kukuri**
Kanaka is already dead.
**[20:19] Kukuri**
What you see is an empty husk
being manipulated by an amasogi.
**[20:23] Kazuya**
But... But she's still my mom!
**[20:26] Kazuya**
And those girls...
If we just talk this through...
**[20:28] Kukuri**
It won't work. Their goal
is incompatible with yours.
**[20:33] Kazuya**
Goal? What's their goal?
**[20:38] Kukuri**
Azami's... That amasogi's goal...
**[20:42] Kukuri**
is to see you dead.
**[20:45] Kazuya**
Why?
**[20:47] Kukuri**
Kazuya-san, this amasogi must be
destroyed by the person who created it.
**[20:52] Kukuri**
If anyone else does so, you will be
struck by an atonement curse
**[20:56] Kukuri**
equivalent to what she has wrought.
**[20:59] Kukuri**
And this amasogi is beyond the pale!
The atonement won't stop with your death.
**[21:05] Kukuri**
The entire town will likely pay the toll.
**[21:08] Kukuri**
There is only one to resolve this.
**[21:12] Kukuri**
You must slay Azami and Kanaka!
**[21:17] Kanaka**
And there you have it!
**[21:20] Kanaka**
Ya-kun, you took your sweet time catching on.
**[21:23] Kanaka**
But now it's finally time!
**[21:28] Kanaka**
Y'know, I've been waiting for
this moment for a long time.
**[21:31] Kanaka**
The moment when...
**[21:35] Kanaka**
I get to experience the
thrill of fighting you.
**[21:40] Kazuya**
*I have to fight Mom?*
**[21:44] Kazuya**
*I have to... kill...*
**[21:48] Kazuya**
*my mom?*

**[23:20] Kazuya**
Azami's goal was using the power of a
shard to revive my mother, Kagami Kanaka.
**[23:25] Kazuya**
And there's only one way to put an
end to this: I have to kill my mom.

**[01:46] Kanaka**
Y'know, I've been waiting for
this moment for a long time.
**[01:51] Kanaka**
The moment when I get to experience
the thrill of fighting you.
**[01:55] Kazuya**
I have to... kill... my mom?
**[02:00] Kanaka**
Well, it's been a while,
**[02:03] Kanaka**
so why don't we all get reacquainted?
**[02:06] Chikage**
You!
**[02:08] Chikage**
You'll pay for what you did to Miurahi-sama!
**[02:10] Kanaka**
Oh, I should thank you!
**[02:12] Kanaka**
I'm back on my feet again because of this.
**[02:16] Kanaka**
But now that I have it, I don't need you.
**[02:18] Kanaka**
Get in my way and I'll have to break you.
**[02:22] Chikage**
Enough talk.
**[02:24] Chikage**
Give that back!
**[02:28] Kanaka**
Oh?
**[02:37] Chikage**
Monster...
**[02:43] Kukuri**
Kanaka...
**[02:45] Kiriha**
Kazuya!
**[02:47] Kiriha**
You must run, Kazuya!
**[02:49] Kiriha**
You can't...
**[02:50] Kiriha**
You don't stand a chance against Kanaka.
**[02:53] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san?
**[02:58] Akito**
*How is she so strong?*
**[03:02] Akito**
*We were watching the future...*
**[03:04] Akito**
*But we never even saw her move.*
**[03:08] Akito**
*And all... barehanded?*
**[03:18] Arumi**
Brother!
**[03:19] Arumi**
We can't.
**[03:22] Akito**
No matter what we do,
**[03:23] Akito**
we won't win.
**[03:25] Kiriha**
Run, Kazuya!
**[03:26] Kiriha**
We can at least make sure you...
**[03:28] Kukuri**
He cannot leave.
**[03:29] Kukuri**
There is no turning back.
**[03:31] Kukuri**
Their goal is nothing short
of killing Kazuya-san.
**[03:34] Kukuri**
We should put an end to this now.
**[03:37] Kukuri**
We will fight first and keep her from moving.
**[03:40] Kukuri**
You will then have to finish
her off permanently.
**[03:44] Kukuri**
You must make sure she dies!
**[03:46] Kanaka**
Wow, what's with you guys?
**[03:48] Kanaka**
This reunion's been a long time coming,
but no one's happy to see me?
**[03:53] Kukuri**
I've always felt guilty for
what happened to you, Kanaka.
**[03:57] Kanaka**
Then do me a favor and butt out?
**[03:59] Kanaka**
I'm way overdue for some family time.
**[04:02] Kanaka**
But first... would you mind undoing
the seal you put on Kazuya?
**[04:07] Kanaka**
I want to fight my real son.
**[04:10] Kukuri**
I will do no such thing,
nor allow such a fight.
**[04:13] Kukuri**
Kazuya-san will only be
landing the killing blow.
**[04:15] Kanaka**
Oh, okay!
**[04:17] Kanaka**
So I get to fight the rest of you first, then?
**[04:20] Kukuri**
Correct.
**[04:21] Taguri**
If we're going up against Kanaka-chan,
**[04:23] Taguri**
we'd better bust out all the stops.

**[05:08] Kanaka**

**[05:10] Kanaka**

**[06:32] Kiriha**
Kazuya...
**[06:34] Kukuri**
Quickly!
**[06:37] Kukuri**
Her arms are bare...
**[07:29] Kanaka**
This'll be the second time
we've fought one-on-one, huh?
**[07:33] Kanaka**
I really got my butt kicked last time.
**[07:35] Kanaka**
It took me until today to recover!
**[07:39] Kanaka**
I wonder how it'll go this time.
**[07:41] Kukuri**
The result won't change.
**[07:43] Kukuri**
This ends now.

**[08:42] Kukuri**

**[09:07] Kiriha**
What happened?
**[09:14] Kanaka**
Since the day you beat me, Kukuri-chan...
**[09:19] Kanaka**
Half of Azami has remained in this town.
**[09:24] Kanaka**
My consciousness was hazy, but I was able to
watch Kazuya's battles through her eyes...
**[09:32] Kanaka**
Which is why things are going
to be different this time.
**[09:51] Kanaka**
Divine Possession.
**[10:07] Kiriha**
Kokuyou, don't!
**[10:18] Kazuya**
Kokuyou-san!
**[10:20] Kanaka**
Well, then...
**[10:23] Kanaka**
You ready?
**[10:37] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Say, Kiriha-chan...
**[10:41] (Flashback) Kanaka**
If... hypothetically, okay?
**[10:44] (Flashback) Kanaka**
If something happens to me,
please take care of Kazuya.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Kiriha**
Oh, please, you're practically invincible!
**[10:55] (Flashback) Kanaka**
I'm not.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Kiriha**
All right, as you wish.
**[11:00] (Flashback) Kiriha**
I'll protect Kazuya, should it come to that.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Kiriha-chan...
**[11:07] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Thank you.
**[11:11] Kiriha**
Kanaka...
**[11:13] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san... I...
**[11:16] Kiriha**
No one can blame you for being confused.
**[11:19] Kiriha**
Kukuri and I didn't explain what happened.
**[11:22] Kiriha**
But I can promise you this...
**[11:26] Kiriha**
That isn't Kanaka anymore.
**[11:30] Kiriha**
It's the amasogi you created.
**[11:34] Kiriha**
And it has to be defeated!
**[11:39] Kazuya**
Okay.
**[11:44] Kazuya**
Divine Possession!
**[12:00] Kanaka**
No good.
**[12:02] Kanaka**
I thought the two of you
might have what it takes...
**[12:07] Kanaka**
but you don't.
**[12:09] Kanaka**
I guess I'll keep my promise
to Azami-chan, then.
**[12:28] Kiriha**
Kazuya...
**[12:31] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san?
**[12:43] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san! Kiriha-san! Kiriha-san!
**[12:50] Kasumi**
Hold it!
**[12:55] Kasumi**
You're not killing Ya-kun, you old bitch!
**[12:58] Kazuya**
S-Sis?
**[13:00] Kasumi**
Get a grip, Ya-kun! I'll manage somehow!
**[13:04] Kanaka**
You will? Seriously, Kasumi-chan?
**[13:07] Kasumi**
Things are different now!
**[13:10] Kasumi**
Saori!
**[13:14] Kazuya**
The drain... from Divine Possession...
**[13:17] Kasumi**
I can buy you three years!
**[13:19] Kasumi**
You have to get stronger than her by then!
**[13:26] Kazuya**
Sis...
**[13:51] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san?
**[13:54] Kazuya**
Sis?
**[13:57] Kazuya**
Kukuri-chan? Kokuyou-san?
**[14:01] Kazuya**
Sunao-san... Kotetsu-kun?
**[14:06] Dad**
Kazuya!
**[14:12] Kazuya**
Dad?
**[14:14] Kazuya**
Have you seen the others? I can't find them.
**[14:17] Dad**
Have a seat. We need to talk.
**[14:21] Kazuya**
Okay.
**[14:30] Kazuya**
Uh...
**[14:31] Dad**
Introduce yourself to our guest.
**[14:36] Ouhi**
It's nice to meet you.
**[14:37] Ouhi**
I am the head of the malison exorcist
training school Tsuzuraden,
**[14:40] Ouhi**
Oriobana Ouhi.
**[14:42] Kazuya**
It's nice to meet you. I'm Kagami Kazuya.
**[14:45] Bakura**
Nice to see you again.
**[14:48] Kazuya**
Bakura-chan!
**[14:49] Kazuya**
So, what's all this about? Where is everyone?
**[14:54] Ouhi**
You seem to be a bit confused.
**[14:58] Ouhi**
What do you remember before falling asleep?
**[15:01] Kazuya**
What do I remember?
**[15:03] Kazuya**
Well, Mom came back to
life at Hakusan Shrine...
**[15:08] Kazuya**
She killed Kukuri-chan and Kiriha-san...
**[15:12] Kazuya**
And then my sister showed up...
**[15:15] Kazuya**
Wow, that's gotta be a dream.
I must not be fully awake!
**[15:20] Ouhi**
Everything you just said really happened.
**[15:25] Ouhi**
I understand. Allow me
to explain what happened.
**[15:29] Ouhi**
For now, the threat has passed...
**[15:34] Ouhi**
Well, it would be more accurate
to say that it has been postponed.
**[15:41] (Flashback) Ouhi**
From the look of things...
**[15:44] (Flashback) Ouhi**
We were too late.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Ouhi**
We need to ascertain what happened here.
Work in teams of two.
**[15:50] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Search the area and aid the injured,
**[15:53] (Flashback) Ouhi**
and restrain the tsukumogami from Mayoiga.
**[15:57] (Flashback) Ouhi**
This shape... Is it one of
the Mayoiga tsukumogami?
**[16:01] (Flashback) Saori**
Not at all.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Ouhi**
And you are?
**[16:07] (Flashback) Saori**
Kagami Kasumi's tsukumogami,
Saori the hourglass.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Pardon my rudeness. I am the head
of Tsuzuraden, Oriobana Ouhi.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Can you explain what happened here?
**[16:21] (Flashback) Saori**
By all means!
**[16:23] (Flashback) Kasumi**
Hold it!
**[16:25] Saori**
By the time Kasumi-sama and I arrived,
the battle had nearly concluded.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Kasumi**
You're not killing Ya-kun, you old bitch!
**[16:32] (Flashback) Kasumi**
I can buy you three years!
**[16:33] (Flashback) Kasumi**
You have to get stronger than her by then!
**[16:46] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Huh? She's not moving fast
enough to evade, and yet...
**[16:50] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Is this her tsukumogami power?
**[16:58] (Flashback) Saori**
As the sands of time cease their dance...
**[17:02] (Flashback) Kanaka**
Is this...
**[17:03] (Flashback) Kasumi**
Let the the flow of time be dammed!
**[17:06] (Flashback) Both**
Enshrined Moment!
**[17:08] (Flashback) Saori**
To stop Kanaka, Kasumi-sama
and I deployed a barrier.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Saori**
Kanaka, her tsukumogami Azami,
**[17:19] (Flashback) Saori**
Kasumi-sama, and myself are now trapped
inside a frozen moment for three years.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Then I'm not actually speaking to you?
**[17:31] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Exactly! I'm an illusion,
left behind to explain what happened.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Ouhi**
I understand.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Ouhi**
I'll leave exorcists from Tsuzuraden
to monitor the situation, as well.
**[17:44] (Flashback) Saori**
We appreciate it.
**[17:52] Ouhi**
That's what happened after
you lost consciousness...
**[17:55] Ouhi**
And that was three days ago.
**[18:00] Ouhi**
Your sister has bought you valuable time.
**[18:04] Ouhi**
You now have two years and 362 days.
**[18:09] Kazuya**
Sis...
**[18:11] Kazuya**
Wait, what happened to the others?
**[18:14] Ouhi**
Sumeragi Sunao-san and
Kotetsu-kun aren't hurt.
**[18:17] Ouhi**
They're at home, on standby.
**[18:20] Ouhi**
Yagokoro-sama and Kanayama-sama
were badly injured,
**[18:25] Ouhi**
but are recuperating at
their respective shrines.
**[18:29] Ouhi**
Kokuyou-san's injuries
aren't life-threatening,
**[18:32] Ouhi**
and she's being treated by staff from
the main hall of Hakusan Shrine.
**[18:36] Kazuya**
Hakusan Shrine...
**[18:38] Kazuya**
Then what about Kukuri-chan?
**[18:40] Ouhi**
Kukurihime-sama has passed away.
**[18:53] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san! What about Kiriha-san?!
**[18:56] Dad**
I need you to remain calm, Kazuya.
**[19:01] Dad**
This is Kiriha-san.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Kazuya-san...
**[19:22] (Flashback) Ouhi**
I wish that I could give you more time,
but I'm afraid that's not an option.
**[19:29] (Flashback) Ouhi**
We cannot ignore an aberration
with the strength to kill a god.
**[19:34] (Flashback) Ouhi**
The fight against Kanaka
is a foregone conclusion.
**[19:37] (Flashback) Ouhi**
But... even if the greatest
fighters from Tsuzuraden
**[19:41] (Flashback) Ouhi**
were able to slay her in three years' time,
**[19:45] (Flashback) Ouhi**
the malison atonement would
cause a calamity in this town.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Ouhi**
There is only one way avoid that:
you must defeat Kanaka.
**[19:57] (Flashback) Ouhi**
That is why you must train at
Tsuzuraden until that day comes.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Your father has already given his approval.
**[20:04] (Flashback) Ouhi**
I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Ouhi**
But... I would still rather
you choose to come.
**[20:13] (Flashback) Ouhi**
Kagami Kazuya-san... what will you do?
**[20:51] Ouhi**
With the loss of people so close to him,
at the hands of his own mother...
**[20:56] Ouhi**
I thought convincing him
would be more difficult.
**[20:59] Ouhi**
It seems I underestimated him.
**[21:04] Kazuya**
I'm going to go with Ouhi-san.
**[21:07] Dad**
I see.
**[21:09] Kazuya**
You knew everything, didn't you?
**[21:12] Dad**
I did.
**[21:14] Kazuya**
Thank you.
**[21:17] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san and Kukuri-chan... everyone...
**[21:20] Kazuya**
They did so much for me.
**[21:23] Kazuya**
So now it's my turn to give back.
**[21:26] Dad**
I see.
**[21:30] Dad**
Kazuya...
**[21:32] Dad**
Take care of Kanaka.
**[21:38] Kazuya**
Right.
**[21:40] Bakura**
I was sure Kazuya-san would
rise to the challenge.
**[21:44] Ouhi**
Do you know him well?
**[21:47] Bakura**
People reveal their true
selves in their dreams.
**[21:51] Kazuya**
Sorry about the wait.
**[21:54] Kazuya**
I'll be in your care for
the next three years.
**[21:58] Ouhi**
Of course.
**[22:00] Kazuya**
I'm going to stop Mom.
