    Come, it is morning.
[00:24] K2
    Honestly, sleeping later than

[00:38] K1
    Cut it out, Sis...
[00:40] K1
    I barely got any sleep because

[02:42] K1
    I can still make it in time!
[02:44] K1
    As long as I haven't been
    called for attendance yet...
[02:48] K1
    I'm barely in the clear!
[02:52] Teacher
    Not by a long shot.
[03:00] Chi
    You've let yourself go!
[03:03] Chi
    Being tardy is an insult to the very
    foundations of wholesome academic life!
[03:08] Chi
    Think about what you've done!
[03:09] (K1
    But there was this youkai, see...
[03:09] Shiro
    They're at it again.
[03:12] Yama
    The class rep is stern as ever
    with our esteemed Kagami.

    Don't make up childish excuses!
[03:14] (K1
    Okay...
[03:16] Chi
    Are you even listening?!
[03:16] K1
    This is all Kiriha-san's fault.
[03:21] (Flashback) K1
    It's already past eight!
    I know I set my alarm clock!
[03:25] (Flashback) K2
    Oh, that thing?
[03:27] (Flashback) K2
    It rang most obnoxiously, so I silenced it.
[03:30] (Flashback) K1
    You dummy!
[03:33] (Flashback) K1
    I'm heading out!
[03:34] (Flashback) K2
    Aye!
[03:37] (Flashback) K1
    Why are you following me?!
[03:39] (Flashback) K2
    A servant can't simply run
    off without his master.
[03:42] (Flashback) K2
    Besides, we've never been apart before.
[03:44] (Flashback) K1
    That was when you were an obi!
[03:47] K1
    This is bad.

    But of course.
[04:04] (Flashback) K1
    Though, if I can humbly make a request...
[04:09] (Flashback) K2
    I am an obi again. Will that do?
[04:11] (Flashback) K1
    Perfectly! Thank you so much.
[04:14] (Flashback) K1
    Now, let me put you in
    a bag to keep you clean.
[04:17] (Flashback) K2
    A commendable precaution!
[04:18] (Flashback) K1
    And in this box, so you won't
    get damaged from being jostled!
[04:22] (Flashback) K2
    How considerate!
[04:23] (Flashback) K1
    Lastly, I'll tie up the box
    so it won't open if dropped!
[04:27] (Flashback) K2
    Awfully thorough, aren't you?
[04:29] (Flashback) K1
    Okay, I'm heading out!
[04:30] (Flashback) K2
    Aye. Take care!
[04:33] (Flashback) K2

[04:39] K1
    Serves her right! That stupid youkai.
[04:41] Shiro
    What, remember a joke or something?
[04:44] Yama
    Perhaps the class rep wrung him out too hard.
[04:47] K1
    Sorry, it's nothing!
[04:49] Shiro
    Anyway, like I was saying...
[04:52] Shiro
    they say that after school, when hardly
    anyone's around, a ghost will appear!
[04:58] Yama
    How incredibly unrealistic.
[04:59] Shiro
    But there have been multiple eyewitnesses!
[05:02] Shiro
    Saying they saw a weird, hairy
    thing or a giant slug!
[05:06] Yama
    That sounds more like some kind of
    unidentified animal than a ghost.

[05:13] Shiro
    Kazuya, are you even listening?
[05:15] K1
    Sorry, I was zoning out!
[05:17] Shiro
    What I'm saying is, this is the
    perfect time for a test of courage!
[05:21] Shiro
    Invite a cute girl to wander
    the dark hallways, just the two of you!

[05:49] Chi
    you should be double-checking

[05:53] K1
    Reports?
[05:54] ---
    I totally forgot!
[05:55] K1
    Please, Osamu! Let me copy yours!

    20 pages of screentone.
[06:00] Chi
    Copy?
[06:04] Chi
    Copy what, exactly?

    We still have lunch!
    I'll even join you, but do it yourself!

    There's no way I'll finish in time.

[06:27] Chi

    But...

    And that one's incorrect!

    How could Prince Shotoku have been
    a Warring States warlord?
[06:38] K1
    Fine, I'll do it. Happy?
[06:41] Chi
    Very good.
[06:55] K1
    Did I get something else wrong?
[06:56] Chi
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[06:59] Chi
    I just remembered how
    I used to help you study.
[07:02] K1
    Oh, that's right! You used
    to come over and tutor me.
[07:08] K1
    Thank you for your assistance.
[07:10] Chi
    Well, you're quite welcome.
[07:12] K1
    I was falling behind back then,
    so you were a huge help.
[07:15] Chi
    And you're all caught up now?
[07:18] K1
    Sorry, I guess I'm not much better.
[07:33] Chi
    Well...
[07:35] Chi
    if you wouldn't mind...
[07:38] Chi
    I could come to your house again...
[07:42] Chi
    and help you study?
[07:45] Chi
    I mean, I do enjoy teaching others and all.
[07:49] K1
    Really? Sure, I'd be...
[07:55] K1
    Actually, maybe not now!
[07:57] Chi
    R-Really?
[07:58] Chi
    Sorry for being so meddlesome.
[08:01] K1
    Oh, no, not at all!
[08:03] K1
    Oh, that was the last page.
[08:06] K1
    I finished the report,
    so I'll go put the books back.
[08:08] Chi
    Good job.
[08:11] Chi
    I'll head back to class.
[08:14] K1
    Sure. Thanks, Chisato!
[08:33] Chi
    Huh?
[08:35] K1
    Let's see...
[08:37] K2
    There you are.
[08:42] K2
    Ka...zu...ya...
[08:52] Chi
    Kazuya-kun? Is something wrong?
[08:57] K1
    Nothing at all.
[08:58] Chi
    What happened to your face?!
[09:00] K1
    It's okay. Yeah.
[09:02] K1
    I'm fine, actually.
[09:04] K1
    Anyway, weren't you going back to class?
[09:08] Chi
    I was, but the door wouldn't open.
[09:17] ---
    Open!
[09:20] Chi
    The windows won't open, either!
[09:25] K1
    Both the windows and the doors.
    Every exit has been cut off.
[09:29] K1
    Which means...
[09:32] K1
    we're trapped in here?
[09:40] Kiriha
    Tsugumomo!
[09:46] Chi
    This is Tsugumomo.
[09:57] K1
    Nothing's working.
[10:00] K1
    We can't even break the doors or windows,
    much less open them.
[10:04] Chi
    This is bad.
[10:08] K2
    You seem to be in quite the quandary, Kazuya.
[10:12] K2
    Your due comeuppance for
    trying to leave me behind!
[10:16] K1
    Not wearing any...?
[10:20] K1
    Wait over there a second, Chisato!
[10:24] ---
    Right...
[10:30] K2
    What is this? Feeling amorous
    this early in the day?
[10:33] K1
    N-No! I told you not to come out!
[10:37] K1
    Wait, are you doing
    this to get back at me?!
[10:42] K2
    I'd hardly bother with such roundabout means.
[10:48] K2
    You should know I'd simply beat you silly!
[10:51] K1
    That's true...
[10:53] K2
    Anyway, should misfortune
    befall you around here,
[10:56] K2
    it is safe to assume
    a tsukumogami is the cause.
[10:59] K1
    A tsukumogami? Like you?
[11:06] K2
    Not like me at all, imbecile!
[11:09] K2
    Listen well. Tsukumogami generally
    fall into two categories.
[11:13] K2
    Some, like myself,
[11:14] K2
    arise from objects or tools after
    many years, and are known as "tsugumomo".
[11:20] K2
    In contrast, that which
    attacked you yesterday,
[11:23] K2
    was a sort of tsukumogami that arises quickly
    from human emotions, known as "amasogi".
[11:30] K2
    Tsugumomo have fully-developed
    consciousnesses,
[11:33] K2
    and are enlightened creatures. Like myself.
[11:36] K1
    Uh-huh...
[11:37] K2
    But amasogi are like newborn babies.
[11:41] K2
    Thus, they tend to
    cause problems like this.
[11:45] K2
    We shall need help to resolve this.
[11:47] K2
    That girl will do nicely.
[11:49] K1
    Huh?!
[11:50] K1
    Wait a second!
[11:57] K2
    Your patience was appreciated, girl.
[12:00] Chi
    It's nice to meet you. I'm Chikaishi Chisato.
[12:03] K2
    Right. I'm Kiriha the tsukumoga—
[12:07] K1
    That's not right! Do it like we agreed.
[12:09] K2
    Fo demanfing...
[12:12] K2
    Uh, I am Kazuya's... cousin? Here to...
[12:17] K2
    check? Check out the school.
[12:19] K2
    Uh, my name is Obina Kiriha.
    Nice to meet you.
[12:23] Chi
    A likely story.
[12:24] K1
    So um, Kiriha-san loves occult stuff,
    and knows a lot about strange phenomena.
[12:30] K1
    She said she could help us find a way out!
[12:34] Chi
    I see.
[12:38] Chi
    In other words...
[12:40] Chi
    this supernatural situation is being
    caused by one of these "amasogi"?
[12:44] K2
    Exactly! You're quite a sharp girl.
[12:47] K2
    Now, to address our escape.
[12:51] K2
    Clearly, smashing doors and windows was all
    your imbecile mind could imagine,
[12:56] K2
    but I'm more clever than that.
[12:57] K1
    Yeah, sure.
[13:01] K2
    We'll use these.
[13:05] K1
    What are they?
[13:06] K2
    Kimono clasps interwoven with my hair.
[13:09] K2
    They should react to amasogi,
    tsugumomo, or any other spirits.
[13:13] K1
    And we can find the amasogi with this?
[13:16] K2
    That's right.
[13:17] K2
    This was caused by something around
    here being animated by a wish.
[13:22] K2
    Once we learn that wish,
    the resolution may prove simple.
[13:26] Chi
    Who would benefit from
    trapping us in the library?
[13:31] K1
    I can't think of anyone.
[13:33] K2
    Further speculation won't get us anywhere.
[13:36] K2
    Now, get looking!
[13:38] K1
    Yeah, all right.
[13:50] Chi
    I found it!
[13:53] K2
    Already, eh?
[13:54] Chi
    I think it's this book.
[13:58] K1
    Mine detects something, too!

[14:10] K1
    Even this one!
[14:11] Chi
    It keeps going off!
[14:14] K1
    Kiriha-san, they seem to be
    reacting to everything.
[14:19] K2
    Well, in that case,
[14:21] K2
    any means shall do if we can escape.
[14:25] K2
    So we'll just smash the door down!
[14:28] K1
    We're back to that?!

[14:38] K1
    I'll explain everything later.
[14:41] K2
    Look! I am nearly through the barrier!
[15:00] K1
    What in the world?
[15:06] K2
    Well, now! It seems the

    Run, Kazuya!
[16:01] K2
    This way!
[16:23] K2
    They're only targeting me?
[16:37] Chi
    Looks like it stopped chasing us.
[16:42] K2
    Most disappointing! I was
    hoping for a bit more fun!
[16:50] K1
    You just had to open your mouth!
[16:52] K2
    Seems it wishes to have more fun, too.
[17:05] K2
    The books protected the girl?
[17:07] K2
    That's it!
[17:17] K2
    Kazuya!
[17:19] K2
    Think back on your conversation
    with the girl since coming to this study!
[17:23] K1
    Wh-Why now?
[17:25] K2
    H-Hurry!
[17:26] K1
    Uh, well, Chisato took me to the library...
[17:30] K2
    Aye!
[17:32] K1
    And she brought books from the shelves...
[17:35] K2
    And then?!
[17:38] K1
    And I mistook Prize Sudoku
    for a Warring States warlord!
[17:41] Chi
    It was Prince Shotoku!
[17:43] K2
    Doesn't matter! What else?!
[17:45] K1
    And then...
[17:47] K1
    she asked to come to my house
    to help me study, and I refused!
[17:50] K2
    That's it!
[17:55] K1

[18:01] K1
    Chisato?

    What do you mean?!
[18:04] K2
    Slow to catch on, aren't you?
[18:06] K2
    Desires are what give birth to amasogi!
[18:09] K2
    So grant her desire!
[18:11] K1
    Chisato's desire?
[18:14] K1
    Of course.
[18:16] K1
    Chisato!
[18:16] Chi
    Y-Yes?
[18:22] K1
    Would you...
[18:24] K1
    come by my house sometime, to tutor me?
[18:31] Chi
    Sure.
[18:55] ---
    We're back?
[18:58] K2
    Well, well. You ought be thankful I was here!
[19:02] K1
    Thank you, Kiriha-san.
[19:05] K1
    I think I understand amasogi
    a little better now.
[19:08] K2
    A good experience, then.
[19:11] K1
    And, Chisato...
[19:13] Chi
    Y-Yes?
[19:15] K1
    I'm sorry I didn't realize
    how you felt sooner.
[19:20] Chi
    How I... feel?
[19:23] K1
    Chisato...
[19:24] K1
    you really love teaching people, don't you?
[19:31] K2
    Honestly, Kazuya...
[19:32] K1
    Crap, we've got two minutes
    till fifth period!
[19:34] Chi
    Oh, no! My perfect attendance record!
[19:47] Chisato
    Thanks for having me.

[19:55] Chisato
    Huh?
[19:57] Chisato
    Kazuya-kun, I'm coming in.
[20:03] Chisato
    Caught in the very act!
[20:04] K1
    Ow!
[20:06] Chi
    How shameless! And obscene!
[20:09] K1
    Chisato? Why are you—
[20:11] Chi
    You asked to study at one o'clock!
[20:14] K1
    Oh, right. My alarm—
[20:16] K1
    Again?!
SIGN    Clock #2
[20:18] K2
    What's all the fuss?
[20:20] Chi
    I brought these. Help yourself.
[20:24] K2
    Well done!
[20:26] Chi
    Kazuya-kun, Kiriha-san,
    I'm sorry about yesterday.
[20:32] Chi
    I still can't believe it happened,
    not to mention that it was my fault...
[20:37] K2
    No need to blame yourself, Chisato.
[20:40] K2
    There was another, bigger cause—
[20:43] K2
    malison.
[20:44] Chi
    "Malison"?
[20:45] K1
    What's malison?
[20:47] K2
    Let's see...
SIGN    Malison
[20:49] K2
    You might say malison is
    the distortions in reality—the gaps.
[20:52] K2
    Perhaps the root of all creation,
[20:54] K2
    or the remnants of it.
[20:56] K1
    I don't follow at all...
[20:58] K2
    I'm not surprised.
[20:59] K2
    It exists everywhere, like air,
[21:01] K2
    but it reacts to people's wills,
    warping the laws of reality.
[21:05] K2
    In theory, with the power of malison,
[21:08] K2
    one could shape the world to one's will.
[21:10] K1
    Seriously? You could do anything?
[21:13] K2
    At its normal density,
    malison's effects are limited.
[21:17] K2
    But think about how bizarre
    what happened yesterday was.
[21:21] Chi
    You mean the library incident was caused
    by abnormally high-density malison?
[21:25] K2
    Precisely.
[21:27] K2
    But it's rare that sufficient malison
    accumulates in one place
[21:31] K2
    to produce an amasogi that powerful.
[21:34] K1
    Then why did it happen?
[21:36] K2
    The local god who oversees
    this area is at fault.
[21:39] K1
    Local god?
[21:41] K2
    Aye.
[21:41] K2
    It's all that idiot Kukuri's fault.
