[02:16] ---
    "Sunao and Kotetsu."
[02:19] Kukuri
    Whaddaya mean Kotetsu ain't wakin' up?
[02:22] Sunao
    Well...
[02:23] Sunao
    His hilt was repaired yesterday, and he
    was sent home from the swordsmith,
[02:27] Sunao
    but I keep calling to him,
    and there's no response.
[02:31] Sunao
    I had Honoka-sama take
    a look right away, and...
[02:36] (Flashback) Honoka
    As a tsukumogami, he's not quite dead,
[02:40] (Flashback) Honoka
    but his spiritual strength
    is just about gone.
[02:42] (Flashback) Honoka
    If he doesn't wake soon, you'll have
    nothing but a regular sword left.
[02:46] Kazuya
    That's terrible!
    Is there anything you can do?
[02:49] Sunao
    She told me there was one option.
[02:53] Kukuri
    An echo stone from the Cave
    of the Divine Navel, huh?
[02:55] Kazuya
    An echo stone?
[02:57] Kukuri
    It's an altar made from stone
[02:59] Kukuri
    that's been bathin' in spirit
    energy for hundreds of years.
[03:03] Kukuri
    It's become a kinda spiritual amplifier
[03:07] Kukuri
    that can even let people
    hear the voices of objects
[03:09] Kukuri
    that ain't become tsukumogami yet.
[03:12] Kukuri
    That oughta let you talk
    to Kotetsu, all right.
[03:16] Kazuya
    Wait, so why didn't you
    head straight there?
[03:21] Sunao
    Well...
[03:23] (Flashback) Honoka
    The Cave of the Divine Navel
    is a spiritually unstable spot.
[03:27] (Flashback) Honoka
    There's no telling what could happen.
[03:29] (Flashback) Honoka
    Right now, you're just a
    normal human with a sword.
[03:33] (Flashback) Honoka
    It's too great a risk to let you go alone.
[03:37] Sunao
    Since the Divine Navel can amplify
    the voices of even inanimate objects,
[03:42] Sunao
    someone as powerful as Honoka-sama
    can't go with me, either.
[03:46] Kazuya
    I see.
[03:48] Kiriha
    Indeed. And that's where we come in, yes?
[03:51] Kiriha
    Very well, then. In that case,
    let's get a move on.
[03:54] Kazuya
    Right now?
[03:56] Kiriha
    Yes, right now!

    Well, would you look at that?
[04:08] Kiriha
    The room even has a bath attached to it!
[04:12] Kazuya
    A room like this has to cost a fortune!
[04:14] Kazuya
    I don't have that kind of money!
[04:17] Kiriha
    Would you calm yourself?
    Our accommodations have been arranged for.
[04:20] Kazuya
    Really?
[04:21] Kiriha
    Indeed. We already had
    our tickets, didn't we?
[04:25] Kazuya
    You've got a point.
[04:26] Kiriha
    Hey! That's enough sulking, Sunao.
[04:29] Kiriha
    You get to indulge a bit
    on someone else's coin.
[04:32] Kiriha
    Why not enjoy yourself?
[04:34] Sunao
    Sorry... I was just thinking about
    what I'll say to Kotetsu tomorrow.
[04:40] Kazuya
    Just tell him how you really feel.
[04:42] Kiriha
    He's right. That's what Kotetsu
    would want to hear, as well.
[04:47] Sunao
    I've treated Kotetsu terribly all this time.
[04:51] Sunao
    I want to give him a
    real apology tomorrow.
[05:05] Kazuya
    I don't necessarily need
    to be in here, do I?
[05:08] Kiriha
    What're you on about?
    Don't waste an opportunity for mixed bathing.
[05:11] Sunao
    If you insist, Kiriha-sama...
[05:17] Kiriha
    Oh, come now. Someone's being bashful.
[05:21] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[05:23] Kiriha
    You really should make sure it's clean.
[05:25] Kiriha
    No telling what kind of
    use it might see tonight.
[05:28] Kazuya
    It won't be doing anything!
[05:29] Kazuya
    C-Cut it out!
[05:35] Kiriha
    Well, Sunao...
[05:37] Kiriha
    Do you want Kazuya to wash you?
[05:44] Kiriha
    What a feast!
[05:46] Kiriha
    Eat, now! Don't let an opportunity
    like this pass you by!
[05:51] Kazuya
    We should eat.
[05:53] Kazuya
    I'm not sure we can finish it all, though.
[05:55] Kiriha
    Oh, that looks good, too!
[05:58] Kiriha
    Now, feed me!
[05:59] ---
    Sheesh...
[06:00] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, this isn't
    exactly good table manners.
[06:06] Kiriha
    How dare you feed me
    wasabi, you imbecile?!
[06:08] Kazuya
    You were literally asking for it!
[06:10] Kiriha
    That one next.
[06:11] Kazuya
    Come on, you can feed yourself.
[06:14] Kiriha
    This really is quite good!
[06:22] Sunao
    You two sleep together?!
[06:24] Kazuya
    She always forces the issue...
[06:27] Kiriha
    What are you talking about?
    I know you love it.
[06:29] ---
    "Always"?
[06:31] Kazuya
    You just have no concept of restraint!
[06:34] Kiriha
    Less talk, more service!
[06:36] Kazuya
    Hey! Stop grinding on me!
[06:36] Kiriha
    There, there, there!
[06:39] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san!
[06:40] Kiriha
    What? Finally in the mood?
[06:42] Kazuya
    No! We should be more considerate.
[06:45] Kazuya
    Sunao-san's sad because
    she can't see Kotetsu-kun.
[06:49] Kazuya
    I feel bad about the two of us getting
    along too well in front of her.
[06:53] Kiriha
    You don't understand a thing.
[06:56] Kiriha
    Sunao's mistaken about something.
[06:58] Kiriha
    Even if she's able to
    see Kotetsu tomorrow,
[07:01] Kiriha
    I don't think she'll be able to
    bring him back as things stand.
[07:04] Kazuya
    But why?
[07:06] Kiriha
    Because she doesn't understand
    how Kotetsu feels.
[07:10] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, do you know why
    Kotetsu-kun isn't waking up?!
[07:13] Kiriha
    Of course. I'm a tsukumogami
    myself, you know.
[07:18] Kiriha
    I believe Honoka and Kukuri know, as well.
[07:20] Kazuya
    Then shouldn't somebody tell her?!
[07:22] Kiriha
    Imbecile. This isn't the kind of
    thing you can just explain away.
[07:26] Kazuya
    But what if she doesn't catch on?
[07:31] Kiriha
    Which is why, in order to
    make her realize the truth...
[07:35] Kazuya
    Yeah?
[07:36] Kiriha
    We are going to continue to fool around!
[07:38] ---
    But why?!
[07:41] Kiriha
    How do you like that, then?!
[07:53] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[07:55] Sunao
    What's wrong, Kotetsu?
    Are you feeling sick?
[08:00] Sunao
    Listen, there's something
    I really need to tell you.
[08:05] Sunao
    After everything I've done—
[08:07] Kotetsu
    I'm sorry.
[08:09] Sunao
    No! I'm the one who should apologize.
[08:12] Sunao
    Ever since I was little, I always—
[08:14] Kotetsu
    I'm so useless.
[08:16] Sunao
    No! That was—
[08:18] Kotetsu
    I'm the reason your brother died.
[08:21] Sunao
    Listen to me! The truth is—
[08:24] Kotetsu
    Because I'm just a tool.
[08:29] Kotetsu
    I'm sorry, Sunao-sama.
[08:31] Sunao
    Kotetsu...
[08:32] Kotetsu
    I can't stay with you anymore.

    You could just turn into an obi.
[09:40] Kiriha
    Come on, you need to stay
    with us, or you'll get lost.
[09:45] Kiriha
    Spoilsport!
[09:47] Sunao
    We're almost there.
[09:56] Kazuya
    This is the Cave of the Divine Navel?
[10:03] Kazuya
    Looks deep.
[10:05] Kiriha
    I can already feel the spiritual pressure.
[10:10] Kazuya
    Sunao-san, slow down! It's dangerous!
[10:14] Kiriha
    She's too tense...
[10:33] Kazuya
    It's huge!
[10:38] Kiriha
    The moss is glowing?
[10:55] Sunao
    This must be the echo stone.
[11:24] Sunao
    Please wake up.
[11:44] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[11:46] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[11:52] Sunao
    Kotetsu, listen to me, please!
[11:56] Sunao
    I... I was always so mean to you!
[12:01] Sunao
    I blamed you for my brother
    dying, called you a tool...
[12:07] Sunao
    You're not waking up because
    you hate me, right?
[12:13] Sunao
    And that's fine...
[12:16] Sunao
    You can find a partner who'll
    actually take good care of you!
[12:21] Sunao
    Just... please wake up, Kotetsu!
[12:30] Sunao
    Kotetsu...
[12:40] Kiriha
    They're amasogi!
[12:45] Kiriha
    Obi Jab!
[12:52] Kazuya
    They're after Kotetsu-kun?
[12:55] Sunao
    Are these...
[12:57] Sunao
    The amasogi that Kotetsu
    and I exorcised?!
[13:01] Kiriha
    If the echo stone created them...
[13:05] Kiriha
    then they're Kotetsu's feelings!
[13:07] Kiriha
    You could call them the
    manifestation of his self-doubt!
[13:10] Kiriha
    If they reach him, he's done for!
[13:12] Kiriha
    Keep calling out to Kotetsu, Sunao!
[13:15] Kiriha
    We'll occupy them in the meantime!
[13:21] Kiriha
    You have to give Kotetsu
    what he really wants!
[13:25] Sunao
    Kotetsu! Kotetsu!
[13:27] Sunao
    What he really wants?
[13:32] Sunao
    It's not an apology from me?
[13:38] Kazuya
    There's no end to them!
[13:41] Kiriha
    Stay on your toes!
[13:43] Sunao
    I don't understand...
[13:45] Sunao
    Kotetsu.
[13:47] Sunao
    Kotetsu...
[13:50] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[13:55] Kotetsu
    I can hear Sunao-sama's voice.
[13:58] Kotetsu
    But I bet I'm just hearing
    it because I want to.
[14:04] Kotetsu
    I was never any help to her.
[14:08] Kotetsu
    And I let Suou-sama die.
[14:11] Kotetsu
    Even if I wake up, I know
    what Sunao-sama will say...
[14:16] Kotetsu
    "I don't need you."
[14:18] Suou
    You must be terrified of hearing those words.
[14:23] Kotetsu
    Suou-sama?
[14:25] Kotetsu
    It's because I let you...
[14:29] Suou
    That's not what you need right now.
[14:33] Suou
    You're a sword. Fear and doubt
    will only dull your edge.
[14:39] Suou
    You need to focus on what
    you want the most instead.
[14:45] Kotetsu
    What I want the most?
[14:58] Kiriha
    That's the aberration that
    killed Sunao's brother!
[15:04] Kiriha
    It's not like the weaklings
    we've been dealing with.
[15:07] Kiriha
    Be on your guard!
[15:10] Kazuya
    Right!
[15:24] Kiriha
    Kazuya!
[15:32] Sunao
    Stop!
[15:37] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[15:40] Kazuya
    You can't, Sunao-san!
[15:42] Sunao
    Let go of me!
[15:44] Kazuya
    Kiriha-san, let's use Divine Possession!
[15:47] Kiriha
    We can't!
[15:48] Kazuya
    Why?!
[15:49] Kiriha
    If Divine Possession runs out before
    we can finish it off, we will all die!
[15:54] Kazuya
    But...
[15:55] Kiriha
    This amasogi's strength is a reflection
    of the strength of Kotetsu's self-doubt.
[16:01] Kiriha
    If Kotetsu won't wake up, I don't think...
[16:06] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[16:15] Sunao
    No...
[16:19] Sunao
    I...
[16:22] Sunao
    I wanted to apologize...
[16:26] Sunao
    I just wanted him to live on...
[16:33] Kotetsu
    Sunao-sama is crying?
[16:36] Kotetsu
    Please don't cry.
[16:38] Kotetsu
    I want to protect her. To help her.
[16:43] Kotetsu
    That's all I...
[16:47] Sunao
    That's all I...
[16:49] Sunao
    All I wanted...
[16:57] Sunao
    No.
[17:02] Sunao
    That's not all.
[17:06] Sunao
    I finally understand.
[17:09] Sunao
    I...
[17:10] Kotetsu
    I...
[17:13] Sunao
    ...want to be...
[17:13] Kotetsu
    ...want to be...
[17:18] Kotetsu
    ..with Sunao-sama!
[17:18] Sunao
    ...with Kotetsu!
[17:35] Sunao
    Kotetsu...
[17:36] Kotetsu
    I'm so sorry, Sunao-sama.
[17:39] Kotetsu
    I... I thought you didn't
    want me anymore...
[17:44] Kotetsu
    That you didn't need me anymore,
    and I was so scared!
[17:51] Sunao
    Dummy! You should know better!
[17:54] Sunao
    I'm the one who needs to apologize!
[17:58] Kotetsu
    Sunao-sama!
[18:00] Sunao
    Kotetsu!
[18:04] Kazuya
    What a relief!
[18:07] Kirha
    Would you stop bawling?
[18:10] Kazuya
    Wait, the amasogi—
[18:19] Kazuya
    That's...
[18:23] Kiriha
    Considering how connected
    they are, it's only natural.
[18:30] Kazuya
    Divine Possession.
[18:36] Kazuya
    Seriously, I am so glad that
    Kotetsu-kun made it back!
[18:41] Kiriha
    This is tedious. How long do
    you intend to keep sobbing?
[18:46] Kazuya
    But...
[18:47] Kiriha
    Look, the problem's been resolved.
[18:50] Kiriha
    We should take this night to relax.
[18:53] Kiriha
    Especially given the state she's in.
[18:57] Sunao
    What the heck is this?!
[18:59] Kotesu
    Sunao-sama!
[19:01] Kazuya
    It's kind of like a side effect
    of the Divine Possession...
[19:04] Kotetsu
    A side effect?!
[19:06] Kotetsu
    Wh-Wh-What's going to happen to her?!
[19:08] Kiriha
    Relax. She'll just be too
    exhausted to move for a night.
[19:14] Kotetsu
    Oh, no! Sunao-sama!
[19:17] Kiriha
    That being the case,
    make sure you take care of her.
[19:28] Kotetsu
    I can't see a thing!
[19:30] Kazuya
    Why am I blindfolded?
[19:33] Sunao
    You've got to be kidding me...
[19:37] Kiriha
    Time to wash all the sweat,
    tears, and other miscellany away!
[19:44] Kotetsu
    E-Excuse me, then...
[19:47] Sunao
    Where are you touching?!
[19:48] Kauzya
    I don't have an answer for that...
[19:51] Kotetsu
    I-I'm so sorry! I really have no idea!
[19:58] Sunao
    I can't deal with this!
