[00:03] K1
    Training?
[00:05] K1
    Right now?
[00:06] K2
    Precisely!
[00:07] K2
    As a malison cleanser,
    you'll be expected to have fortitude.
[00:10] K1
    Nah. I had P.E. today, so I'm already tired.
[00:14] K2
    Fool!
[00:16] K2
    Obi Torture!
[00:22] K1
    Kiriha-san? Are you...?
[00:25] K2
    That's right.
[00:26] K2
    Since my battle with Kukuri,
    I have been unable to project myself.
[00:30] K2
    Worse, I'm consigned to this frail form.
[00:32] K2
    Suppose an incident like with the hair
    beast or book monster occurs again.
[00:37] K2
    I would be unable to aid you.
[00:41] K2
    So in spite of myself, I'll train you
    till you are fit to be malison cleanser
[00:45] K2
    and impart the art of wielding an obi to you.
[00:48] K2
    Now, it's time to train!

[02:49] K1
    This is... too much to ask of
    an indoorsy guy like me...
[02:54] K2
    You are being pathetic!
[02:55] K2
    Have you no mettle at all?!
[02:57] K2
    Next, you will run while carrying me!
[02:59] K1
    What?! That's impossible!
[03:07] K2
    You stand little chance as a malison
    cleanser if this is already taxing you.
[03:11] K2
    Now buck up.
    We're proceeding with your training.
[03:16] K2
    Frankly, your obi technique during our
    battle with Kukuri was astonishing.
[03:21] K2
    I had no idea you had such skill.
[03:25] K1
    R-Really?
[03:26] K2
    So now let's see you demonstrate it again.
[03:30] K2
    First, the Shield Weave.
[03:32] K1
    Okay.
[03:34] K1
    Shield Weave!
[03:38] K2
    What are you doing?!
    Put some willpower in it!
[03:41] K2
    And you need two obi for the Shield Weave!
[03:44] K2
    Project them!
[03:45] K1
    Uh... Well...
[03:49] K1
    How?
[03:56] K2
    Unable to project, much less use
    a single obi with any skill.
[04:01] K2
    What was that mastery you
    displayed fighting Kukuri, then?
[04:04] K1
    I-I'm not really sure... myself...
[04:09] K2
    We will return home for today.
[04:11] K1
    Thank goodness!
[04:12] K2
    You will, of course, carry me back running.
[04:19] K2
    Now then, listen closely, Kazuya.
[04:23] K2
    First, you need to understand
    the nature of myself, the tsugumomo.
[04:27] K2
    One must know a tool to use it.
[04:30] K2
    Obvious, yes?
[04:32] K1
    I see.
[04:33] K2
    Tsugumomo are generally
    able to take human forms.
[04:36] K2
    Do you understand why?
[04:38] K1
    Let's see... To interact with people
    and talk to them?
[04:42] K2
    Wrong!
[04:44] K2
    For the most part,
    we tsugumomo are human tools.
[04:48] K2
    Without a wielder, the amount of
    power we can exercise is greatly limited!
[04:54] K1
    I get it...
[04:55] K1
    This lets you operate independently,
    without your owner around.
[04:58] K2
    Precisely.
[05:00] K2
    However, the human form has its limitations.
[05:09] K2
    How would you describe my body, Kazuya?
[05:13] K1
    I-It's small and soft and w-warm...
[05:17] K2
    Right. Tsukumogami or not,
    when in human form,
[05:21] K2
    there is little that makes
    us different from one.
[05:24] K2
    We have skin, muscles, bones, and entrails.
[05:30] K2
    Which is to say, injuries that would kill
    a human are equally fatal
[05:34] K2
    to tsukumogami in human form.
[05:37] K2
    Similarly, if I am damaged
    beyond repair as an obi,
[05:41] K2
    it would surely be fatal.
[05:44] K1
    I can understand the limits you have
    as a human, but what about as an obi?
[05:48] K2
    I suppose I've never tested the limits...
[05:52] K2
    But I can recover from minor cuts
    and tears with relative ease.
[05:56] K1
    Wow...
[05:57] K2
    By the way, Kazuya...
[05:59] K1
    What?
[06:00] K2
    I see you're equally happy with this form.
[06:04] K1
    It's just a physiological reaction!
[06:10] K2
    Vex me though it may,
    tsukumogami cannot exist without humans.
[06:14] K2
    The power to sustain
    our existence as tsukumogami
[06:17] K2
    comes from our bonds with our owners.
[06:20] K2
    Until our battle at the shrine,
    I had not accepted you as my owner.
[06:25] K2
    After spending what power I had stored,
[06:27] K2
    I had to draw from the very power sustaining
    my existence, leaving me like this.
[06:32] K2
    Kukuri's reversion to that youthful form
[06:35] K2
    is likely proof her power has waned as well.
[06:37] K1
    I see.
[06:40] K2
    There is still much to explain,
[06:42] K2
    but first, I'll train you in
    the obi techniques you can handle now.
[06:50] K3
    Say what?!
[06:52] K3
    Whaddya mean ya couldn't
    get no more money?!
[06:55] K4
    I suppose it simply means that modern
    people lack faith in the divine.
[06:59] Carpenters
    You've got to work with us here, Kukuri-chan.
[07:01] Carpenters
    We can't fix the shrine up without money.
[07:05] K3
    But... But I'm the god
    of this region, y'know?
[07:10] K3
    Ain't there anythin' you can do?
[07:14] Carpenters
    Well... for now,
[07:16] Carpenters
    we've at least put some
    stopgap measures in place.
[07:19] Carpenters
    Give us a call once you've got the cash!
[07:21] K3
    All of you, get back here!
[07:27] K4
    I was hoping the carpentry tool tsugumomo
    would be of more help.
[07:30] K3
    Whatta buncha ingrates!
[07:32] K4
    We'll simply need to endure
    this state of affairs for now.
[07:46] K1
    I did it!
[07:48] K2
    Too slow! Too sloppy!
[07:51] K2
    Like this!
[07:53] K1
    Okay...
[07:55] K2
    Go on, once more.
[07:57] K1
    Fine...
[08:07] K3
    I did it!
[08:09] K4
    Too slow. And too sloppy, I'm afraid.
[08:12] K4
    I doubt it would pass muster.
[08:16] K4
    Like this.
[08:19] K4
    It's started to rain harder.
[08:22] K3
    It sure has.
[08:28] K2
    Got it! This time, the pudding is mine!
[08:30] K1
    Hey, you used both hands!
[08:32] K2
    H-How dare you?!
[08:39] K3
    It ain't gonna hold!
[08:41] K4
    Hang in there! If we can just get
    this board in place, we should—
[08:52] K1
    Shoot!
[08:54] K1
    Is something wrong?
[08:57] K2
    I have the feeling something
    most excellent has happened.
[09:04] K3
    My... My shrine...
[09:06] K4
    Please, hold it together.
[09:10] K3
    Where the heck are we gonna live now?
[09:13] K4
    Do not worry. I have a place in mind.
[09:21] K2
    Too close, fool!
[09:23] K2
    Again!
[09:27] K3
    What's this s'posed ta be?
[09:29] K1
    Training his sense of range.
[09:31] K1
    Those who display mastery of
    range are masters in battle!
[09:34] K1
    You must grasp how far the obi will reach!
[09:36] K1
    A distance of one jou and one shaku!
[09:40] K1
    Now you are too far away, you coward!
[09:46] C
    One jou and one shaku is 4.17 meters.
[09:49] C
    By practicing barely avoiding getting hit,
[09:53] C
    he'll learn to grasp his effective range.
[09:56] K3
    Ain't much point in trainin'
    basics now, though, is there?
[10:00] K3
    Considerin' that right big wallop
    ya busted out on me,
[10:03] K3
    do ya really needta go over this?
[10:05] K2
    It seems that was a total fluke.
[10:13] K2
    This is all he can manage now.
[10:15] K2
    We've a long way to go.
[10:18] K3
    Wh-What am I gonna do?!
[10:19] K3
    Have I done screwed the pooch makin'
    Kazuyan the malison cleanser?!
[10:23] K4
    Either way, it's too late now.
[10:27] K3
    W-Well, hang in there!
[10:29] K3
    Anyway, Kokuyou, we oughta
    be on our way home!
[10:33] K2
    Hey.
[10:34] K2
    Where are you going? The Hakusan
    Shrine's in the other direction.
SIGN    Hakusan Shrine
[10:44] Sign
    You... A playground slide...
    It's too perfect, Kukuri!
[10:48] K3
    Can it! This is all your fault, anyway!
[10:51] K2
    My, my! If the local god is in this state,
[10:54] K2
    there's bound to be more
    supernatural trouble soon!
[10:56] K3
    You ain't gotta worry about that.
[10:59] K3
    Let's see...
[11:01] K3
    According to the Yagokokoro malison forecast,
    this week has a projected low of 0%,
[11:06] K3
    with a high of 10%.
[11:08] K3
    Nothin's gonna happen for a spell yet.

[11:34] K1
    Why would the student
    council be calling for me?
[11:37] K2
    Don't just stand there! Let's deal
    with this and return to training.
[11:43] K1
    Kagami here.
[11:44] T
    Very good! Come in, please!
[11:48] K1
    Pardon me...
[11:50] T
    Welcome, Kagami-kun!
[11:52] ---
    I am the student council
    president, Tadata Tadataka.
SIGN    Student Council President
    Tadata Tadataka
[11:56] ---
    I suppose it's been a while.
[12:01] K1
    I think this the first time I've
    ever spoken to you, actually.
[12:06] T
    So cold! But maybe if I do this...
[12:10] T
    Remember now?
[12:12] K1
    From the wig amasogi incident!
[12:16] T
    Terribly sorry about that!
[12:18] T
    I'm afraid my feelings
    for you overwhelmed me!
[12:23] T
    And for the record, it's not that I like men.
[12:27] T
    I like you, in particular!
[12:28] T
    Only you!
[12:30] K1
    Can't say I'm glad about that!
[12:32] K2
    How long is this going to take?!
[12:35] K1
    Hey, don't come out!
[12:37] K2
    Get to the point already, Tadataka.
[12:39] T
    Well, if it isn't Kiriha-san!
    And looking so cute!
[12:43] K1
    You two know each other?
[12:44] T
    Yes!
[12:45] T
    She was kind enough to explain
    amasogi to me after that incident.
[12:49] K2
    Enough! Your business?
[12:52] K1
    The Tabletop RPG Association?
[12:55] T
    Tabletop RPGs are
    role-playing games that you play
[12:58] T
    using pencil and paper,
    rather than a computer.
[13:03] K1
    And what's going on with this association?
[13:06] T
    Well, they've taken over the Social Studies
    Research Club's room, which is a problem.
[13:11] T
    The representative I sent to reprimand them
[13:13] T
    came running back
    talking about a monster.
[13:17] K1
    A monster?
[13:18] T
    I thought if anyone could figure this out,
    it would be you two.
[13:23] O
    Oho?
[13:24] O
    What an odd grouping.
[13:27] K1
    Osamu. What brings you here?
[13:29] O
    I'm heading to the Manga Club's room.
[13:32] O
    By the way, who is this adorable young lady?
[13:37] K2
    I am Kazuya's master, Kiriha.
[13:40] K2
    It's a pleasure.
[13:43] O
    You never cease to amaze me, Kagami-kun.
[13:45] O
    For a young girl to be your mistress...
[13:47] K1
    Don't take her seriously!
[13:48] T
    It's gone?!
[13:51] T
    The club room!
[13:53] T
    It's supposed to be right here!
[13:56] O
    Oh? That is odd.
[13:58] O
    I'm certain the Social Studies
    Research Club was here.
[14:02] K2
    Let's see. If this reacts, we can
    be sure an amasogi is involved.
[14:12] K4
    Kukuri-sama, this forecast
    is from two months ago.
[14:15] K3
    What? Oh, crap!
[14:17] K3
    I forgot, I ain't even
    bought the newest volume.
[14:20] K2
    This calls for a retreat, right now!
[14:22] K2
    We're in no shape to deal with this!
[14:24] O
    Could you explain what's going on?
[14:26] K1
    After we get back...
[14:29] T
    What in the world? This was a hallway before!
[14:35] N
    I've been waiting for you, President.
[14:38] T
    You're... Nakajima-kun!
[14:40] T
    Today, you'll be accepting the Tabletop
    RPG Association as an official club,
[14:45] T
    and assigning us a club room.
[14:47] T
    I just need your signature on the form...
[14:49] T
    My answer hasn't changed!
[14:51] T
    You haven't fulfilled all the qualifications!
[14:54] K1
    Tadata-san, could you maybe just
    lie and tell him you agree to—
[14:57] T
    Vacate that club room, now!
[15:00] N
    I thought you'd say that.
[15:02] N
    Well, in that case,
[15:04] N
    it seems we'll have to roll for initiative!
[15:09] N
    My minotaur is complete!
[15:21] K1
    How is this fair?!
[15:23] N
    Work them over gently, minotaur!
[15:29] K1
    How is this gentle?!
[15:31] K1
    Tadata-san, just sign for him!
[15:33] T
    I'm a student council president to the bone!
    I won't negotiate with terrorists!
[15:38] T
    This way, too?
[15:41] T
    The science room is open! Hurry!
[15:46] T
    Let's escape from the veranda!
[15:50] K2
    This is...
[15:52] K2
    The door and windows are
    just drawings! They're fake!
[15:55] K2
    So it was a trap.
[15:59] N
    And you failed your spot check!
[16:04] K2
    It seems we can't simply run, Kazuya!
[16:06] K2
    Think! We're dealing with an amasogi.
[16:09] K2
    Understanding it may be our way out of this!
[16:12] K1
    Uh... Well...
[16:18] K1
    I know!
[16:19] K1
    That sketchbook must be the amasogi,
[16:22] K1
    and it has the power to
    manifest anything drawn in it!
[16:25] K2
    Which means?
[16:27] K1
    If these things were drawn,
    maybe they can be erased!
[16:36] T
    Now!
[16:37] T
    Take this!
[16:42] T
    Trying to wash away my minotaur?!
[16:45] T
    However!
[16:47] T
    It's not enough! My creation
    can easily tank such an attack!
[16:52] T
    In that case...
[16:54] T
    how about this?!
[16:57] N
    A-A fire extinguisher?!
[17:01] N
    It's being whited out!
[17:03] N
    My minotaur!
[17:06] K1
    Now's our chance!
[17:07] T
    Right!
[17:11] K1
    If this is another drawing,
    then I can erase it!
[17:19] K1
    Just barely had enough left.
[17:24] K1
    There's another wall?!
[17:28] N
    I prepared another wall, just in case.
[17:32] N
    Surrender, or get TPK'ed.
[17:35] N
    There's nowhere to run, now!
[17:37] N
    Why don't you just give
    up and sign the paper?
[17:42] O
    Oh? He's redrawn the arm that was lost.
[17:46] O
    But it's shoddy draftsmanship.
    Not likely to be very functional.
[17:51] T
    It doesn't change the fact
    that it's a threat.
[17:54] K2
    So there's one in the hallway too.
[17:57] K1
    A fire extinguisher!
[17:58] K2
    But look where it sits.
[18:02] T
    I've put you three in danger.
[18:04] T
    I'll settle this myself.
[18:07] K1
    Tadata-san didn't do anything wrong.
[18:09] K1
    This happened because
    malison is drawn to me!
[18:13] K1
    Wait, Tadata-san!
[18:16] K1
    You don't need to give in
    to his bullying!
[18:19] T
    But Kagami-kun, we're out of options.
[18:22] K1
    No, we're not.
[18:23] K1
    Kiriha-san!
[18:25] K2
    Aye.
[18:26] N
    What now? You'll get hurt
    if you try to show off.
[18:39] K1
    Mastery of range is mastery
    of battle! Which means...
[18:44] ---
    The distance an obi can reach:
    one jou and one shaku!
[18:50] N
    Wha?!
[18:51] K2
    Well done, Kazuya!
[18:55] K1
    Take this!
[19:03] O
    I see.
[19:06] O
    So all of this strange phenomena
[19:08] O
    was caused by a being called an amasogi?
[19:12] O
    And that monster was generated by finishing
    an incomplete drawing in this sketchbook
[19:17] O
    in order to get it to appear.
[19:19] K1
    That's not a toy!
[19:22] O
    Erasing or tearing the drawing
    causes the creations to vanish.
[19:26] O
    A most well-designed item.
[19:28] K2
    Listen, you.
[19:29] N
    Y-Yes?!
[19:30] K2
    When amasogi are destroyed by another,
    their creator suffers a malison atonement.
[19:35] K2
    End it yourself.
[19:42] K2
    Good. And that settles that!
[19:44] T
    Nakajima-kun, we have a lot to discuss.
[19:48] T
    Come with me to the student council office.
[19:51] N
    Heck no!
[19:52] N
    You idiot!
[19:56] K2
    He had another page hidden?!
[19:58] T
    Are we done for?
[19:59] O
    Not to worry.
[20:02] K1
    Osamu?
[20:04] O
    I have his sketchbook right here.
[20:07] K2
    D-Didn't we have him destroy it?
[20:10] O
    I swapped it out with my own sketchbook,
    suspecting something like this might happen.
[20:15] O
    Now, then, this is a
    simple matter to resolve.
[20:19] O
    I will use this sketchbook...
[20:21] O
    to draw a monster more
    powerful than a minotaur.
[20:29] O
    Check.
[20:36] O
