[00:06] Kazuya     Your projection! [00:14] Kiriha     Fool! Why didn't you defend     with a Shield Weave?! [00:19] Sunao     You're mine! [00:20] Sunao     They're in my sword's range now! [00:23] Sunao     Try Shield Weaving or Wall Weaving this! [00:26] Kazuya     I won't hesitate to use it... [00:27] Kazuya     But I won't let Kiriha-san get hurt, either! [00:30] Kazuya     Hand Weave! [00:33] Sunao     It doesn't matter! SIGN    Hand Weave: Watershed [00:38] Kazuya     Hand Weave: Watershed!

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

[16:54] Kazuya     To be honest, I kinda     passed out part way through. [16:58] Kazuya     As far as I can remember... [17:00] Kukuri     So, how was it? Gimme details! [17:03] Kasumi     Damn it all! [17:05] Kasumi     What did you do to Ya-kun, you horny youkai?! [17:07] Kukuri     Yeah! Don't spare any detail! [17:09] Kazuya     I seriously don't remember.
