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

**[02:29] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Huh?
**[02:34] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Where am I?
**[02:37] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Wait... This is where we part?
**[02:41] (Flashback) Kazuya**
No!
**[02:45] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Don't go!
**[02:48] Kazuya**
Don't go!
**[02:54] Chisato**
Eek!
**[02:58] Chisato**
How could you, you perv?!
**[03:00] Chisato**
This is what I get for trying to
wake you from a bad dream?!
***SIGN*** Chikaishi Chisato
**[03:04] Kazuya**
Ouch...
***SIGN*** Kagami Kazuya
**[03:05] Kazuya**
What was that for?
**[03:07] Chisato**
I could ask you the same thing!
**[03:09] Kazuya**
White, huh?
**[03:10] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[03:11] Chisato**
Groping a classmate's chest wasn't enough?
**[03:14] Chisato**
You had to look directly up her skirt, too?!
**[03:16] Chisato**
Have you *any* shame or decency?!
***SIGN*** Shiramine Shirou

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

**[14:49] Kiriha**
You forgot the pudding!
**[14:53] Kiriha**
When I ask for sweets
I obviously mean pudding!
**[14:55] Kazuya**
How was I supposed to know?!
**[14:57] Kiriha**
What?! You owe an apology
to the god of pudding!
**[15:00] Kazuya**
So you'll still eat them.

Pud-pud-pudding! Tasty pudding!
**[15:16] Kiriha**
Wherefore art thou pudding?
**[15:17] Kazuya**
You could have just asked
for pudding to begin with.
**[15:23] Kiriha**
Pud-pud-pudding! Pudding!
**[15:23] Kazuya**
Well, I'm going downstairs for dinner.
**[15:27] Kazuya**
Try and keep it down, okay?
**[15:29] Kiriha**
Aye, you are dismissed!
**[15:35] Kazuya**
Thanks for the food.
**[15:36] Kasumi**
Eat up!
**[15:37] Kasumi**
I made enough for seconds.
**[15:39] Kazuya**
Okay.
**[15:41] Kasumi**
By the way, Ya-kun, you were sure
making a lot of noise today.
**[15:45] Kasumi**
Rein it in a bit, or you'll
bother the neighbors.
**[15:48] Kazuya**
R-Right...
**[15:50] Kazuya**
Man, these boiled veggies are great!
**[15:52] Kasumi**
Really? I'm glad you like it!
**[15:55] Kasumi**
Hm? Did I just hear laughter?
**[15:58] Kazuya**
I-It's probably just the TV...
**[16:00] Inoue Kikuko**
*I'm seventeen years old!*
**[16:02] Kiriha**
Oh, please!
**[16:03] Kazuya**
Anyway, how long was Dad's
business trip again?
**[16:07] Kasumi**
A bit longer? It seems he's still busy.
**[16:13] Kiriha**
Damn it all!
That combo is practically cheating!
**[16:17] Kasumi**
You're sure that's not someone upstairs?
**[16:19] Kazuya**
Wow, the miso soup is great, too!
**[16:21] Kazuya**
You can really taste the stock...
**[16:23] Kasumi**
What's wrong, Ya-kun?
You're acting kind of weird.
**[16:27] Kasumi**
Have you finally realized
how attractive I am?!
**[16:30] Kasumi**
Do you want to marry me now?!
**[16:32] Kazuya**
Uh, I'm not so sure about that...
**[16:34] Announcer**
*You lose!*
**[16:37] Kiriha**
Oh, I am done!
**[16:39] Kiriha**
Ducking all the damn time! Why don't
*you* go home and be a family man?!
**[16:43] Kiriha**
Anything else interesting around here?
**[16:51] Kiriha**
Ah, yes. It has been too long since my last.
**[16:54] Kazuya**
I'm turning into a nervous wreck down here...
**[16:57] Kazuya**
Kiriha-san? Could you *please* keep it down?
**[17:02] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[17:05] Kazuya**
Where'd she go?
**[17:08] Kazuya**
Did she leave already?
**[17:13] Kasumi**
Ya-kun, go ahead and take your bath!
**[17:16] Kazuya**
Okay!
**[17:19] Kasumi**
I'll join you in a second!
**[17:21] Kazuya**
Please don't!
**[17:30] Kazuya**
*Where did Kiriha-san vanish off to?*
**[17:32] Kazuya**
*Is she prowling for more snacks?*
**[17:35] Kazuya**
* Let's just hope she doesn't run*
* into my sister while she's at it.*

*Possibility one.*
***SIGN*** Response 1
**[17:50] Kiriha**
Kazuya, you pervert!
**[17:52] Kazuya**
*Possibility two.*
***SIGN*** Response 2
**[17:52] Kiriha**
You have some nerve to try
to peep on me in the bath!
**[17:56] Kazuya**
I swear. I-I didn't do it on purpose.
**[18:03] Kiriha**
What are you doing?
**[18:05] Kazuya**
Y-Yes?!
**[18:07] Kiriha**
You are here to wash my back, yes?
**[18:09] Kiriha**
Get to it, then.
**[18:15] Kazuya**
*So she took the third option.*
**[18:18] Kiriha**
There, that's the spot. Keep it up.
**[18:23] Kiriha**
Well done! My turn.
**[18:25] Kiriha**
Go on.
**[18:26] Kazuya**
Hey!
**[18:27] Kiriha**
You are fortunate, Kazuya!
**[18:29] Kiriha**
You have the privilege to be
washed by me tonight!
**[18:32] Kazuya**
That's fine! You don't have to!
**[18:33] Kiriha**
Why are you so embarrassed?
**[18:35] Kiriha**
We used to bathe together all the time...
**[18:38] Kazuya**
Th-That was a long time ago!
**[18:40] Kazuya**
Even if I don't remember it...
**[18:55] Kazuya**
*It's true, though.*
**[18:57] Kazuya**
*This feels familiar.*
**[19:05] Kiriha**
You have certainly grown, Kazuya...
**[19:09] Kiriha**
You were this little once!
**[19:11] Kazuya**
Come on, don't be silly.
**[19:13] Kiriha**
Your dick, of course.
**[19:15] Kiriha**
And firm and proud it stands!
**[19:17] Kiriha**
Has my nude form aroused you?
**[19:18] Kazuya**
No! That's not—
**[19:20] Kazuya**
Don't look!
**[19:23] Kiriha**
What, still hiding its head in that hood?
**[19:26] Kiriha**
Here, allow me.
**[19:28] Kazuya**
Huh? Wha—
**[19:29] Kiriha**
Come on already!
**[19:30] Kazuya**
S-Stop!
**[19:37] Kiriha**
You act like a ninny
over something trivial.
**[19:40] Kazuya**
It's a very delicate matter,
involving a very delicate body part!
**[19:45] Kiriha**
Not very manly, are you?
**[19:48] Kiriha**
Oh, look at the time.
**[19:50] Kiriha**
Let's head to bed, Kazuya.
**[19:52] Kazuya**
Oh, I'll go get the guest futon.
**[19:57] Kiriha**
Why?
**[19:59] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[20:03] Kazuya**
*Huh?!*
**[20:06] Kazuya**
This isn't a good idea...
**[20:09] Kazuya**
Boys and girls past a certain age...
**[20:11] Kazuya**
shouldn't... well...
**[20:14] Kiriha**
But nothing has changed.
We always slept together, did we not?
**[20:21] Kazuya**
Come to think of it, you're right.
**[20:23] Kazuya**
Well, good night, then.
**[20:25] Kiriha**
Aye. Good night.
**[20:37] Kazuya**
*She appeared so suddenly.*
**[20:39] Kazuya**
* Just when I thought she'd saved me,*
* she starts calling me her servant.*
**[20:44] Kazuya**
* Now she seems to have*
* made herself at home.*
**[20:47] Kazuya**
* And yet... for some reason,*
* this all feels perfectly natural.*
**[20:54] Kazuya**
* Kiriha-san sleeping beside me,*
* with her comforting, familiar scent.*
**[21:10] Kazuya**
*How am I supposed to sleep like this?!*
**[21:33] Kokuyo**
The malison has grown slightly denser.
**[21:37] Kokuyo**
What shall we do?
**[21:39] Kukuri**
Ain't no need to rush it.
**[21:42] Kukuri**
'Specially so soon after that incident.
**[21:44] Kukuri**
For now, let's keep an eye on things.
