What? You're awfully slow.
**[00:12] Kazuya**
Hey, don't eat in bed!
**[00:18] Kiriha**
What's this? Did you order some
"inspiration" for your self-abuse?
**[00:22] Kazuya**
I did no such thing!
**[00:24] Kazuya**
Coming.
**[00:29] Kazuya**
Huh? Sunao-san...

"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!

Spacious!
**[04:06] Kiriha**
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.
**[08:36] Sunao**
Kotetsu!

**[09:34] Kiriha**
Kazuya, carry me.
**[09:37] Kiriha**
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!
**[20:00] Kazuya**
You'll have to help her with
the toilet as well, mind you.
**[20:03] Sunao**
Absolutely not!

Well, that's good to hear!
**[20:09] K & S**
Thank you for everything.
**[20:11] Kukuri**
Good to have ya back. Yes, indeedy.
**[20:17] Kiriha**
The thought of your
wielder not wanting you
**[20:20] Kiriha**
is enough to cause this
kind of commotion.
**[20:23] Kiriha**
Tsugumomo are quite fragile creatures.
**[20:27] Kiriha**
Keep that in mind.
**[20:29] Kazuya**
No need to worry. I want to be

**[20:36] Sunao**
You even paid for our stay...
I can't begin to thank you enough.
**[20:43] Kukuri**
I paid for what, now?

This will be fun.
**[21:13] Kukuri**
Why?! What the heck?!
**[21:15] Kazuya**
Were our expenses paid by...
**[21:17] Kiirha**
Correct.
**[21:18] Kiirha**
Taguri paid for it all in exchange for
Kukuri staying over for three days.
**[21:23] Kukuri**
No!
**[21:26] Narration**
And so,
