Kazuya!
**[00:18] K2**
Come, it is morning.
**[00:24] K2**
Honestly, sleeping later than
your master? How impudent.
**[00:38] K1**
Cut it out, Sis...
**[00:40] K1**
I barely got any sleep because
of that weird youkai...
**[00:46] K2**
Who are you calling a weird youkai...
**[00:49] K2**
you hooded dingus!

**[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.
**[03:12] (Chi**
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.*
**[03:48] K1**
* If she takes this "servant"*
* business to school...*
**[03:52] (Flashback) K2**
Servant! Servant!
**[03:54] (Flashback) (Girls**
Oh my God, do you see that?

**[03:59] (Flashback) K1**
Fine. I'll take you to school.
**[04:03] (Flashback) K2**
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**
Kazuya!
**[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.
***SIGN*** That
**[05:11] K1**
*They're probably talking about* that*...*
**[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!
**[05:25] Shiro**
Huddled up close—holding hands, even!

**[05:44] Chi**
That's your idea of adolescence?
**[05:46] Chi**
Instead of plotting such ridiculous schemes,
**[05:49] Chi**
you should be double-checking
your reports that are due fifth period.
**[05:53] K1**
Reports?
**[05:54] ---**
I totally forgot!
**[05:55] K1**
Please, Osamu! Let me copy yours!
**[05:58] Yama**
Certainly, in exchange for
20 pages of screentone.
**[06:00] Chi**
Copy?
**[06:04] Chi**
Copy what, exactly?
**[06:06] Chi**
We still have lunch!
I'll even join you, but do it yourself!
**[06:10] K1**
No!
**[06:13] Shiro**
Forgive us, Kazuya.
There's nothing we can do.
**[06:15] Yama**
Amen.
***SIGN*** Library
**[06:22] K1**
There's no way I'll finish in time.
**[06:24] K1**
Let me copy yours.
**[06:25] Chi**
It's plenty doable!
**[06:27] Chi**
Move your hands, not your mouth!
**[06:29] K1**
But...
**[06:31] Chi**
And that one's incorrect!
**[06:33] Chi**
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!
**[14:00] K2**
Another book? Are there two amasogis?

And another!
**[14:09] Chi**
This one, 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?!
**[14:32] K2**
Spiral Weave!
**[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
entire study is the amasogi!
**[15:11] K2**
Get back!
**[15:13] K1**
Come on!

**[15:44] K2**
Ready to play, huh?
**[15:49] K2**
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**
Kiriha-san!
**[17:57] K2**
Th-This thing's host is that girl!
**[18:01] K1**
Chisato?
**[18:03] K1**
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.
**[19:52] Chisato**
Kazuya-kun?
**[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.
