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

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

It doesn't matter!
