Original subtitles

Sorry for asking you to come on such short notice.

To be honest, I have a favor to ask of you.

Ma'am, how may I be of service?

I'd like to practice on you.

I haven't used this on humans in quite some time.

Wh-what are you...?

I'll set you free in just a minute.

Wha-?!

No!

Help me!

You may rest at ease.

With the coming of the Calm, we should see a change in the situation.

Are you certain of this?

I have a plan.

I swear by our family name, I will carry it out.

The Calm is coming...

It is a stagnant time, when everything comes to a halt.

And...

C'mon ! Please wake up.

C'mon ! Please wake up.

You're going to be late.

You're going to be late.

Sakura!

That's unnecessary.

Jeez! Climb out of bed already!

Now go get dressed!

I only attended school for a chance to attack you, Mirai.

With that reason no longer valid, I see no need to-

Here is your uniform.

Listen!

We don't have time to talk.

Oh, jeez! Your hair is such a mess.

Mirai, you aren't one to talk.

And look down.

How unpleasant.

Good night!

No going back to sleep!

And that's why you're late?

Yes... It was by no means my fault!

If Sakura had woken up quicker-

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

It's surprisingly stubborn. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

It's surprisingly stubborn.

Please don't try to tear the knot out!

Hey!

Senpai?

Napping in the morning?

Senpai?

A-are you all right?

Yeah... Sorry.

What were you thinking?! What was that?!

An accident.

Do you think that phrase will get you out of any tight spot?!

Dat hurts.

And wookie.

Senpai?

Oh, I fell right back asleep.

Is something the matter? Were you up all night?

Well, to be honest, I spent around seven hours debating over

whether you'd look better in green frames or rimless frames.

How to waste seven hours...

Sparkle!

Whoa! I never saw that coming!

The train is here...

Finals are just around the corner.

So it's obvious why we're reviewing this page in class, isn't it?

Sakura! Sakura! So it's obvious why we're reviewing this page in class, isn't it?

Sakura!

Here I am, going out of my way to help you!

But every now and then someone doesn't know how to take advantage of...

Sakura!

My goodwill!

Oh, I'll be taking a week off for personal reasons starting tomorrow.

If you have any questions, you'd better ask me today!

Personal reasons? Are you getting married?

Die! Die a million deaths!

That's brutal ! Do you realize that's verbal abuse?

Then I'll claim sexual harassment!

I won't go easy on you just 'cause you're in high school!

She's taking this way too seriously.

The Calm is coming.

That's the buzz.

The Calm...

Yup! At long last, the Calm is coming!

But there is, like, something else I must bring up first.

AKKUN, I heard that you, like, broke your promise to me and went after the Hollow Shadow.

I'm, like, fuming with rage!

I got so miffed that I, like, couldn't even eat my sunflower seeds!

It's amazing how she creates a new persona each time she sends a postcard...

But they all seem like weird rip offs.

Quit calmly analyzing her!

And Kuriyama-san, why are you dressed up like that?

I-I was in the middle of work!

I never dreamed I'd have to wear something like this...

Thank goodness I had Sakura head back without me...

How unpleasant.

How unpleasant!

AKKUN, so like, when did you turn into such a naughty delinquent?

When I borrowed a dirty magazine from a friend, you sneakily tore out the page of a nude model in glasses.

It was your treasure!

Where has my pure-hearted, darling AKKUN gone?

I am, like, devastated to see that you've grown into a promise-breaking beast!

"Heke" isn't the sound hamsters make when they cry!

"Heke" isn't the sound hamsters make when they cry!

It's these little things that show her age.

Like I said, quit calmly analyzing her!

I-I'm gonna run out of space if I keep this up!

Now to, like, get to the heart of this letter.

The Calm is coming!

The Calm is, like, coming!

The Calm is, like, totally coming!

Where do you draw the line between "genius" and "crazy"?

Please! Not another word!

Be sure to be, like, extra careful!

Promise Yacchan you'll, like, be careful, AKKUN!

That's all you had to say?!

In short, the Calm refers to a period when our yomu powers weaken.

Your powers weaken?

Yup! I don't know the details, but according to the records,

apparently our innate vitality drops dramatically.

As such, Spirit World Warriors are able to defeat yomu

As such, Spirit World Warriors are able to defeat yomu

that are normally out of their league, so they're thrilled.

But in that case, why do I need to be careful?

Have you forgotten?

Kanbara-kun, you are a half-yomu.

If your yomu powers weaken, couldn't it affect you in some way?

For instance?

Half-yomu are too rare for me to know for certain.

However, your immortality is one trait that you could potentially lose.

I see. And if a Spirit World Warrior found Akkey in that vulnerable state,

there is a chance he might strike.

Exactly. Isn't that why you escorted him here?

To be precise, she said that the Calm does not start until 12:00 a.m.

Perhaps it's just me, but I think the air feels somewhat heavy...

I wouldn't say it's heavy... It feels stagnant.

The Calm... What an appropriate name.

At times like this, I think my little sister and I should walk home side by side.

But she's already gone.

Why?!

Because she doesn't want to walk home with you.

Why not?!

Because she hates you.

Why is that?!

Because of the way you act!

Senpai, I'm going to miss the discount pre-made dinners if I don't hurry, so I've gotta run!

Oh, okay. Later!

Akkey!

Don't take this lightly.

I'm filled with a sense of unrest.

Falling in love?

Would you like a lift?

I'll drop you off.

The Calm, huh?

What do you want?

Well, I figured we could have a talk while going out for a drive.

I want to tell you about what you saw.

Is... that a yomu?

Yep. Many of the more powerful yomu, like the Hollow Shadow, don't have a physical body.

It is said that over the years, the resentment and warped feelings expressed by countless people

well up until it takes shape, creating one of these massive yomu.

If left alone, one could lead the world to ruin.

It is said that these yomu are the origin of diseases, natural disasters, and war.

They are generally referred to as "Beyond the Boundary."

Beyond the...!

But fortunately only a fragment of this one has surfaced so far.

It hasn't started to spread its influence yet.

Why are you telling me all of this?

The Society of Spirit World Warriors has been keeping their eye on it for ages!

I believe the tight-lipped Nase family has information on it!

I thought I might be able to get you to talk,

but it looks like the baby of the family has been kept in the dark.

Yakiimo.

But it's true!

Keep going.

What is the plan for subduing the yomu you referred to as "Beyond the Boundary"?

Is the Nase family going to annihilate it in secret?

I couldn't get any info on that, either!

Your sister is way too scary!

But...

"But" what?

Are you curious?

Yakiimo!

Ah! I'm sorry!

I found some intriguing information regarding Mirai Kuriyama.

About Kuriyama-san?

When I did some digging,

I learned that the Inami family tried to kill Mirai Kuriyama for murdering their daughter, Yui.

They were stopped by none other than...

...Izumi Nase.

Do you think that she somehow became linked to this Beyond the Boundary?

I can't say. But wouldn't you find it fascinating if she was?

Big Bro!

What a hassle.

The way you followed your little sister all the way out here...

makes it look like you've got a sister complex.

I'm hurt.

I more than look it!

What are you after?

Go ask your little sister!

Big Brother!

Thank you for the delicious "Big Brother."

Wh-what's going on?!

Akihito-kun, you were hit by a car, so why...?

Where did your injuries go?!

Oh, this-

Don't kill me!

Please! Don't kill me!

Wh-what would make you say such a thing?

I-Izumi-san...?

You must be exhausted.

What are you doing here...?

Rest for a bit longer.

Thank you for riding with us.

Hananodera. This is Hananodera.

Please make sure to take all of your belongings.

It's only natural to assume that the Calm had something to do with this.

However, I get the feeling that his human half has greatly weakened along with his yomu half.

Is there anything we can do to help him get better?

There are ways to help humans and ways to help yomu to some extent,

but Kanbara-kun is a half-yomu.

To be perfectly honest with you, half-yomu are rare enough

that I don't know how to go about helping him.

Senpai...

At any rate, he seems to be suffering from a fever, so I brought some cool water.

Let me handle that!

You two should head on home for now.

But...

For the duration of the Calm, we can't go out in the open anyway.

Sitting and watching Kanbara-kun sleep won't help him get better, now will it?

That may be true, but...

Don't you have school tomorrow like always?

When did Kanbara-senpai and Mirai meet?

Can't say... I don't know the details,

but I bet they met shortly after Mirai-chan moved here.

It's almost time. Ai, make sure to keep your wits about you.

Uh-huh!

I planted the seeds. I suspect the time should be ripe.

That is what I've been after from the very beginning.

I know! I won't let the Nase family claim it.

It's...

showtime!

I never expected that shockwave to make so many pop out!

Here I go!

You stole my prey!

I had my eye on that one!

I screwed up!

You may have it.

You're here, too?!

That's Izumi Nase...

Talk about a monster!

Do your best to stay out of her way.

In this zone, the Nase family's authority is absolute.

In an attempt to create internal rifts,

enemy powers have tried to stir up trouble more than once.

Then you're saying everything Miroku Fujima told me is a lie?

That isn't what I said.

However, I cannot deny that is a distinct possibility.

Izumi once warned me to be wary of the Society of Spirit World Warriors.

I suspect that organization stands on antagonistic terms with the Nase family.

And here you didn't say anything when Kuriyama-san was gossiping about the Society a while back!

I can't divulge information like that!

Besides, I haven't been told the full story myself.

I'm going to see Izumi!

She'll feign ignorance and that will be the end of it.

Do something! She's your older sister, isn't she?

I could say the exact same thing to you.

It's from Kuriyama-san.

How about you, Big Bro?

Akkey is...?!

A yomu?!

One item for 280 yen, one item for 350 yen and one item for 10 yen.

One item for 280 yen, one item for 350 yen and one item for 10 yen.

One item for 280 yen, one item for 350 yen and one item for 10 yen.

That will be a total of 1,870 yen.

That much?!

Thank you very much. I was lost in thought and didn't pay attention...

It's fine. More importantly, about Kanbara-senpai...

if you ask, I'm sure they'll say it's okay for you to stay with him.

But it's not like I could do anything for him...

Even so, you want to stay by his side.

You're being unpleasant!

"You're being unpleasant" does not mean you feel I'm being "unpleasant."

That's what my sister told me a long time ago.

You're being unpleasant!

This time, you truly meant it.

How could you tell?

No one would stop you. Not if you want to be with Kanbara-senpai.

It-it's not like I want to be with him or anything like that.

It's just, I...

Kanbara-senpai loves glasses.

It doesn't have to do with anything like that!

It's just... he's normal around me.

Even though I'm from a cursed clan...

Even though I possess such abnormal powers...

He treats me like a normal person. He has since we first met...

You must be happy, huh?

Huh?

That you met.

You're being unpleasant!

You didn't mean it that time, either.

Aya-chan...

Ai, go inside.

How may I help a member of the Society of Spirit World Warriors?

I never dreamed you'd find me...

I should have expected as much from a yomu that can hold its own against Spirit World Warriors.

You don't mean to "subdue" me, do you?

Of course not! I simply came to check on the situation here.

But now that it's come to this... It can't be helped!

I am taking custody of Akihito Kanbara.

Please hand him over without giving me any trouble.

I'll need to hear an explanation why first.

I've made a promise, you see, that I would look after Kanbara-kun.

I don't have time to explain myself.

Besides, I doubt you'd believe me even if I did.

Seriously? Did you truly believe I'd hand him over after hearing that?

My, my. You're on a higher level than I had anticipated.

Honestly, I'm glad we're in the middle of the Calm.

Where do you think you're going?

Even during the Calm, you're still this powerful?

Most impressive!

But how about this...?

You're here early.

Do you prefer girls who keep you waiting?

Aya-chan...

Senpai!

I wish I never met him...

Where are you right now?

Where are you right now?

I'm in front of Senpai.

Kill him.

I think that, just maybe, I really am cursed...
