**[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.
**[11:09] K1**
Really?
**[11:21] K1**
Tsugumomo!
**[11:27] K3+4**
Tsugumomo...
***SIGN*** Student Council Office
**[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**
My flare dragon is complete.
**[20:41] O**
Mate.
***SIGN*** Manga Research Club

Tracing?
**[20:47] K2**
What do you mean?
**[20:48] K1**
You place of paper over the
model you intend to use,
**[20:51] K1**
and by shining light from below,
you proceed to copy it.
