[02:33] Kuku
    The Shelter Formation.
[02:35] Kuku
    You defended yourself with eight obi, I see.
[02:38] Kuku
    But I also see it has taken
    quite the heavy toll.
[02:46] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[02:47] Kazuya
    You've shrunk?!
[02:49] Kuku
    I doubt you're in any shape
    to block a second Water Impact.
[02:53] Kuku
    Will you reconsider?
[02:55] Kiriha
    I think not!
[02:58] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[02:59] Kiriha
    Kazuya, if I fall, so be it.
[03:02] Kiriha
    Do as Kukuri says.
[03:04] Kiriha
    All will have been for nothing if you die.
[03:06] Kazuya
    I can't just...
[03:08] Kuku
    O noble...
[03:10] Kazuya
    Just give up already!
[03:12] Kazuya
    I just have to do this malison
    cleansing thing, right?!
[03:15] Kiriha
    You can't.
[03:17] Kuku
    ...gush forth with a blessed torrent...
[03:20] Kazuya
    Why are you so against this?!
[03:22] Kiriha
    Why, you ask?
[03:24] Kiriha
    Because this is my reason for being here!
[03:28] Kiriha
    Wall Weave!
[03:31] Kuku
    Water Impact.
[03:41] Kiriha
    It's no good. I'm faltering.
[03:46] Kiriha
    Forgive me...
[03:48] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[03:49] Kiriha
    Forgive me, Kanaka.
    I promised, but...
[03:57] Kanak
    Hey. Hey!
[04:02] Kanak
    Howdy!
[04:06] Kazuya
    Who are you?
[04:07] Kazuya
    Wait, where am I?!
[04:09] Kazuya
    We were fighting a goddess,
    and got engulfed in water...
[04:13] Kanaka
    Sounds rough! Water Impact is no joke.
[04:16] Kanaka
    Kukuri-chan's got no mercy!
[04:18] Kanaka
    Meanwhile, Kiriha-chan doesn't
    know when she's beat.
[04:21] Kanaka
    She was dealing with a water goddess!
[04:23] Kanaka
    Talk about getting in over your head.
[04:26] Kanaka
    Get it?!
[04:32] Kazuya
    I should go. I really
    don't have time for this.
[04:35] Kanaka
    I actually need to ask a favor of you.
[04:39] Kazuya
    A favor?
[04:40] Kanak
    Save Kiriha-chan.
[04:43] Kazuya
    Me, save her?
[04:45] Kazuya
    From that goddess?
[04:46] Kanaka
    No, no. The thing is,
    she's bound by an old arrangement.
[04:50] Kanaka
    I want you to free her from it.
[04:54] Kazuya
    She's bound? What am I supposed to do?
[04:58] Kanakka
    Well, that's simple!
[05:00] Kanakka
    Get strong!
[05:02] Kanakka
    So that you can protect her,
    instead of being protected by her!
[05:06] Kazuya
    That's crazy!
[05:07] Kanak
    Is not!
[05:09] Kanak
    But for now, here's how to use your abilities
    to escape this predicament!
[05:17] Kazuya
    Let's see...
[05:19] Kazuya
    An ultimate attack... and her true name?
[05:22] Kanaka
    Yes! You've got the gist of it!
[05:25] Kanaka
    Take it from here!
[05:26] Kazuya
    Wait a second! What is
    Kiriha-san's true name?!
[05:30] Kanaka
    You should know it already.
    Good luck, Kazuya!
[05:45] Kiriha
    Are you awake, Kazuya?
[05:47] Kuku
    How resilient.
[05:50] Kuku
    But you don't have time to recuperate.
[05:54] Kiriha
    Shield Weave!
[05:55] Kazuya
    Wait!
[05:56] Kazuya
    Change back into an obi, Kiriha-san!
[05:58] Kazuya
    I'll use you.
[06:00] Kiriha
    You'll what?!
[06:01] Kazuya
    You can't fight on your own
    anymore! Isn't that right?!
[06:04] Kiriha
    Don't be ridiculous!
    You're my servant! Do not defy me!
[06:10] Kazuya
    Your master, Kagami Kazuya, commands you!
[06:13] Kazuya
    Return to your original form, Ayasakura!
[06:21] Kiriha
    Where did you learn how to use true names?!
[06:24] Kiriha
    Do you realize what you've done?!
[06:26] Kiriha
    Now you must be the one to face Kukuri!
[06:27] Kazuya
    Ow, ow, ow...
[06:30] Kazuya
    I know.
[06:31] Kazuya
    Let's fight together!
[06:33] Kiriha
    Y-You fool! Know your place!
[06:36] Kazuya
    You don't have any strength left, do you?
[06:40] Kiriha
    Have you a strategy?
[06:43] Kazuya
    I do!
[06:45] Kiriha
    Very well.
[06:47] Kukuri
    Improvisation born of desperation.
[06:51] Kukuri
    But will it actually work?
[06:58] Kukuri
    Water Pressure.
[06:59] Kiriha
    It comes!
[07:00] Kazuya
    Shield Weave!
[07:02] Kazuya
    Huh?
[07:07] Kazuya
    Whoops.
[07:08] Kiriha
    That was pathetic!
[07:09] Kazuya
    Ow! I'll get it right the next time!
[07:13] Kukuri
    Water Wheel.
[07:20] Kazuya
    Whoa!
[07:21] Kiriha
    Hah! Did you see that, Kukuri?!
[07:24] Kiriha
    Behold Kazuya's skill!
[07:26] Kukuri
    He certainly learns quickly.
[07:29] Kukuri
    Then let us see how you handle my full force.
[07:34] Kukuri
    O noble white mountain peaks,
    gush forth with a blessed torrent...
[07:44] Kiriha
    Another big one!
[07:46] Kiriha
    And if we don't weather this, we're finished!
[07:51] Kiriha
    Show me how you wield an obi, Kazuya!
[07:55] Kazuya
    Right!
[07:56] Kazuya
    Flowing serpent, heed my will.
[08:01] Kazuya
    Twisting Water Wyrm!
[08:08] Kiriha
    What now?
[08:10] (Flashback) Kanaka
    I guarantee Kukuri-chan's finishing
    blow will be a water snake.
[08:15] (Flashback) Kanaka
    So all you have to do is...
[08:17] Kazuya
    Shield Weave!
[08:21] Kiriha
    Fool! You can't defend against
    that thing with a single shield!
[08:28] Kazuya
    Watershed!
SIGN    Shield Weave: Watershed
[08:32] Kukuri
    Impossible!
[08:39] Kazuya
    Spiral Weave!
[08:42] Kukuri
    Chilling Water Curtain!
[08:44] Kiriha
    Ice?!
[08:46] Kazuya
    Layered Edge!
SIGN    Spiral Weave:
SIGN    Spiral Weave: Layered Edge
[08:54] Kiriha
    This technique!
[09:16] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[09:18] Kukuri
    You were very close.
[09:20] Kukuri
    It's impressive you cut through my defenses,
[09:23] Kukuri
    but it seems you were
    unable to strike me down.
[09:26] Kukuri
    Now, then...
[09:26] Kazuya
    Stop it! Let go of Kiriha-san!
[09:30] Kukuri
    Then what will you do?
[09:36] Kazuya
    I understand.
[09:39] Kazuya
    I, Kagami Kazuya, accept the
    duty of malison cleansing!
[09:43] Kazuya
    That's what you wanted, right?!
    Now, please, let go of Kiriha-san!
[09:46] Kukuri
    You will be held to your words.
[09:50] Kiriha
    Kazuya...
[09:53] ---
    Kiriha-san!
[09:57] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, are you okay? Are you injured?
[10:03] Kiriha
    I'm fine, you fool.
[10:09] Kukuri
    And so the matter is settled
    just as it should have been.
[10:13] Kukuri
    I have high hopes for you,
    our new malison cleanser.
[10:36] Kiriha
    Tsugumomo!
[10:40] Kukuri
    This here's Tsugumomo!
[10:56] K3
    No! Don't look!
[11:03] K2
    What happened to you?!
[11:06] K2
    I see! Well, that explains the Noh mask!
[11:09] K2
    Your power really was tied to it!
[11:14] K3
    You've done shrunk, same as me!
[11:17] K2
    Hold, now!
[11:24] K3
    What's the big idea?
[11:25] K2
    You certainly made sport
    of me earlier, didn't you?
[11:29] K3
    Now see, I got a right good
    reason for all this...
[11:32] K2
    Save your excuses for later.
[11:34] K2
    First, let me repay your kind treatment.
[11:37] K3
    H-Hang on! I'm a goddess, ya know!
[11:40] K3
    I'm a goddess over here!
[11:42] K2
    Who cares, you imbecile?!
[11:46] K3
    Not the thighs!
[11:49] K3
    Yer exposing my unmentionables!
[11:53] K2
    How's that? Well?
[11:54] K2
    Why not some more?
[11:59] K2
    So you're telling me
[12:02] K2
    this was all a ruse to
    get Kazuya to command me?
[12:06] K3
    Darn straight!
    I warn't about to kill Kazuyan.
[12:09] K3
    With my divinity dryin' up
    puttin' me in a pickle,
[12:12] K3
    he was just the tsugumomo wielder I needed!
[12:15] K3
    But knowin' Kiriha, I reckoned
    she wouldn't be awful keen
[12:19] K3
    on puttin' Kazuyan in harm's way.
[12:23] K3
    So I gave him a nudge to make
    sure he had to use you!
[12:26] K1
    That was a nudge?
[12:28] K3
    Kiriha would have to mind orders
    once commanded by her true name.
[12:33] K3
    Meanin' all I had to do was convince Kazuyan!
[12:37] K3
    Well, them's the breaks!
[12:39] K3
    Lookin' forward to workin' with you!
[12:43] K2
    Y-You...
[12:44] K2
    little pest!
[12:50] K1
    Come on, Kiriha-san!
[12:51] Chi
    She's just a child!
[12:52] K3
    I ain't no kid!
[12:55] K4
    Enough, you impertinent fool.
[12:56] K3
    Don't just sit there! Do something!
[13:02] K3
    Blargh...
[13:13] Chi
    Well, I'm this way.
[13:15] K1
    Sorry, Chisato. I'll make
    this up to you later.
[13:19] K2
    My apologies for the trouble, Chisato.
[13:21] K2
    We'll see you tomorrow.
[13:31] K1
    Hey, Kiriha-san...
[13:35] K1
    Well... this whole malison cleanser thing.
[13:38] K1
    I know I was kind of forced into it...
[13:42] K1
    but I'll try to do a good job at it.
[13:47] K1
    So I'll be counting on your help.
[13:50] K2
    Aye.
[14:00] (Flashback) K1
    Well, we'll head back now.
[14:02] (Flashback) K3
    Countin' on ya!
[14:08] (Flashback) K2
    Kukuri.
[14:11] (Flashback) K2
    Make sure that Kazuya doesn't...
[14:15] (Flashback) K3
    I know.
[14:23] K4
    Is this for the best?
[14:26] K3
    I dunno.
[14:27] K3
    Nothin' for it but to have faith in Kazuyan.
[14:36] K3
    So... what're we gonna do 'bout this?
[14:39] K4
    I'm not sure.
[14:44] K4
    The ventilation has certainly improved.
[14:47] K3
    No doubt.
[14:55] K1
    You really did shrink.
[14:59] K2
    Enough grousing! You're a lowly servant!
[15:03] K2
    I won't be stuck in this form,
[15:05] K2
    but it may be some time
    before I am fully restored.
[15:08] K1
    You're sure you're not hurt anywhere?
[15:13] K2
    Do not treat me like a child!
[15:17] K1
    Well, as long as you're okay.
[15:20] K2
    Are you really that concerned?
[15:23] K1
    Well yes, I'm worried.
[15:25] K2
    In that case, why don't
    you take a thorough look?
[15:30] K1
    Hey, wait a sec!
[15:35] K1
    I should've known better...
[15:37] K2
    Why act so defeated? You were
    the one who wanted to see.
[15:45] K2
    Yes, that's the spot.
[15:47] K1
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:50] K2
    Your hands feel much larger now.
[15:53] K1
    Only because you shrank, Kiriha-san.
[15:55] K2
    I imagine you're larger down there now, too.
[15:58] K1
    I-I am not!
[16:04] K2
    The tub is so much bigger!
[16:06] K1
    No playing in the bath!
[16:08] K2
    Very well...
[16:18] (Flashback) K1
    Spiral Weave: Layered Edge!
[16:23] K1
    The eightfold layered Spiral Weave...
[16:26] K1
    That was Kanaka's technique.
[16:37] (Flashback) K5
    Say, Kiriha-chan...
[16:41] (Flashback) K5
    If anything...
[16:42] (Flashback) K5
    Hypothetically, if anything were to
    happen to me, take care of Kazuya.
[16:48] (Flashback) K2
    Someone as hard to kill as you?
    Don't be silly!
[16:53] (Flashback) K5
    Is that a no?
[16:56] (Flashback) K2
    Fine. Fine, then.
[16:58] (Flashback) K2
    Should that happen, I will keep Kazuya safe.
[17:02] (Flashback) K5
    Kiriha-chan...
[17:05] (Flashback) K5
    Thank you.
[17:07] (Flashback) K2
    R-Right...
[17:11] K2
    Kazuya...
[17:12] K1
    Huh?
[17:13] K2
    I'll keep...
[17:16] K2
    you sablub-blub...
[17:25] K2
    That was careless of me.
[17:28] K2
    Kazuya...
[17:30] K2
    I fear I am done for.
[17:32] K1
    Oh, come on. You just got a little dizzy.
[17:35] K2
    Pudding... One last pudding before I...
[17:38] K1
    I'm not falling for that.
[17:40] K2
    Pudding...
[17:47] K6
    Old clothes? Of mine?
[17:49] K1
    Yeah. Just on the off chance
    you still have them.
[17:54] K1
    From around preschool, if possible.
[17:58] K6
    What's this about?
[18:00] K1
    Well... I just...
[18:09] K6
    Oh, no! Have you discovered that
    you're into that sort of thing?!
[18:14] K6
    Don't do this to me, Ya-kun!
[18:16] K6
    Only pain and suffering lies down that path!
[18:21] K6
    This may be my chance.
[18:22] K6
    I have to teach him the
    charms of an older woman!
[18:25] K6
    And then I'll take a firm
    hold of Ya-kun's heart!
[18:29] K6
    Bring it on! Your big sis
    will always welcome you!
[18:32] K1
    Never mind. Sorry for
    interrupting your cooking.
[18:40] Chi
    Old clothes?
[18:42] Chi
    I'll take a look, but I don't know if
    I can get them to you immediately.
[18:45] K1
    Yeah, that figures.
    Sorry for the sudden request.
[18:48] Chi
    I'm sorry. I'll get on it as soon as I can.
[18:51] K1
    Yeah, thanks. I'll see you later.
[18:58] K1
    I guess I can look through my clothes
    for something she could wear.
[19:21] O
    I've brought them.
[19:26] K1
    Osamu...
[19:28] O
    Here are the items you requested.
[19:32] K1
    Thanks.
[19:34] K1
    Sorry for springing this on you.
    I appreciate it.
[19:38] O
    I will not pry.
[19:41] O
    You have your reasons for
    desiring little girls' clothing.
[19:46] O
    I suppose it just means
[19:48] O
    we all have our inner shadows
    that we keep hidden from others.
[19:52] K1
    Please stop. You don't even
    know the half of it.
[19:58] K2
    Oh, well done, Kazuya!
[20:00] K2
    Give it to me, quickly now!
[20:01] K2
    You bought pudding, yes?
[20:03] K1
    Oh, well, I did buy some while I was out.
[20:07] K1
    Here. I borrowed some
    clothes for you to wear.
[20:12] K1
    My clothes wouldn't fit you,
[20:14] K1
    and I'd feel bad making you stay
    in obi form all the time.
[20:19] K2
    How considerate!
[20:21] K2
    You're finally learning
    to think like a servant!
[20:35] K2
    Kazuya...
[20:38] K2
    what in the world...
[20:40] K2
    made you select...
[20:43] K2
    these clothes?!
[20:44] K1
    Well, I asked Osamu just in case
    he had some, and he lent me these.
[20:49] K2
    Osamu? The kid with the glasses?
[20:52] K2
    What on Earth is he?
[20:54] K1
    Not sure.
[20:56] K1
    He says they're reference
    materials for his manga...
[20:59] K2
    I'm hardly sure if this
    qualifies as clothing.
[21:03] K2
    It's just a string.
[21:05] K1
    Well, hopefully a few of these
    are actually wearable.
[21:10] K2
    So, which of these costumes
    is to your liking?
[21:13] K2
    If you're insistent, I might
    consider wearing one of them.
[21:18] K1
    No, that's all right.
[21:20] K2
    No need to be modest.
[21:21] K1
    No, seriously, it's fine.
[21:29] O
    Kagami-kun...
[21:30] K1
    Oh, Osamu. About yesterday—
[21:34] O
    You must have enjoyed yourself yesterday.
[21:38] K1
    Well...
[21:39] K1
    Osamu? Now hiss'n leer—
[21:41] K1
    Listen, Osamu, just wait, it's not—
[21:44] Chi
    What's this about hissing, Kazuya-kun?
[21:46] K1
    It's nothing.
[21:47] Chi
    How suspicious...
[21:48] K1
    Seriously, it's nothing!
