Momoyuki Mogura : Well, I screwed up. |
(0:00:01.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, nobody expects a Kojien to fall out of the sky. |
(0:00:04.26) |
Kuriaki Magi : I'm telling you, the theme makes no sense! |
(0:01:43.83) |
Kuriaki Magi : Why would you insist on using muscles |
(0:01:46.37) |
Kuriaki Magi : for a children's literature theory group research theme?! |
(0:01:48.17) |
Kuriaki Magi : "Raving" in a different way, maybe! |
(0:01:54.96) |
Kuriaki Magi : Not because I wanted to. |
(0:02:03.35) |
Kuriaki Magi : This is my
fault? |
(0:02:12.23) |
Kuriaki Magi : Aren't you his girlfriend?! Talk some sense into him! |
(0:02:17.90) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. |
(0:02:26.16) |
Kuriaki Magi : Hey! |
(0:02:26.75) |
Kuriaki Magi : He's just straight-up Gian. |
(0:02:27.62) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Not much we can do about it. |
(0:02:29.71) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Just look at Fujimura-kun's social media account. |
(0:02:31.71) |
Kuriaki Magi : He should die a thousand deaths! |
(0:02:45.22) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Can you beat these people? |
(0:02:47.35) |
Kuriaki Magi : I don't even want to get involved. |
(0:02:49.02) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Not only that, but he just posted this a moment ago! |
(0:02:50.94) |
Kuriaki Magi : I've never understood anything less in my entire college experience. |
(0:02:56.61) |
Kuriaki Magi : Why would such an impossibly cheery macho musclebrain be a literature major |
(0:03:00.24) |
Kuriaki Magi : taking a children's literature seminar in the Liberal Arts Department? |
(0:03:03.62) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw him, either. |
(0:03:07.83) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I was like, "Is there a fairy in this seminar now?" |
(0:03:10.50) |
Yaeko Kirihara : He's a real rarity: a literary macho man who can read Dazai Osamu and still be cheerful. |
(0:03:14.00) |
Kuriaki Magi : How can a creature like that even exist?! |
(0:03:19.21) |
Kuriaki Magi : And don't wave a Kojien around as a workout! That's dangerous! |
(0:03:21.93) |
Kuriaki Magi : Forget being no longer human! He's peak humanity! |
(0:03:25.39) |
Kuriaki Magi : He should be opening with "I've been a winner all my life," damn it! |
(0:03:28.97) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You have the most eloquent inferiority complex I've ever seen, Magi-kun. |
(0:03:33.44) |
Kuriaki Magi : Drinks! |
(0:03:38.28) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Highball! |
(0:03:39.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : I drank too much. |
(0:03:44.66) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No way... |
(0:03:52.21) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Billie Eilish's... "Bad Guy"... music video... |
(0:03:58.42) |
Kuriaki Magi : Wait, is that... |
(0:04:09.06) |
Kuriaki Magi : Hey, are you okay?! |
(0:04:10.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Uh... Hey, you two. |
(0:04:12.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Just pretend you never saw this and go home. |
(0:04:15.10) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No one would fault you for that in this day and age. |
(0:04:17.27) |
Kuriaki Magi : No way! We can't do that! |
(0:04:20.48) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, an ambulance! |
(0:04:23.15) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, right! Sorry, I'll call right now! |
(0:04:25.36) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No, really, it's... |
(0:04:27.91) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What? Ambulance? |
(0:04:29.41) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No! Don't call an ambulance! |
(0:04:31.12) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm broke! I can't afford surgery or medicine! |
(0:04:34.75) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I don't even have an insurance card! |
(0:04:38.00) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm fine! Based on my experience, this kind of injury is nothing! |
(0:04:40.38) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The head just looks extra dramatic when it bleeds! |
(0:04:43.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The medical expenses would end me! No hospitals, please! |
(0:04:45.38) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey! |
(0:04:48.60) |
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, I think his injury is making him say weird things. |
(0:04:50.81) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. I just called an ambulance. |
(0:04:54.48) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You did?! |
(0:04:56.69) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Okay, you can pay for it, then! |
(0:04:57.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You got yourselves into my mess, so you gotta take care of me now! |
(0:04:59.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you don't want that, throw me into some alley, |
(0:05:02.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : hide me from the ambulance, and get outta here! |
(0:05:04.74) |
Kuriaki Magi : It'll be here soon. You shouldn't try to talk. |
(0:05:07.41) |
Kuriaki Magi : You'll be all right, sir. |
(0:05:10.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, not many nice kids like you these days. |
(0:05:12.04) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, shit. Now I have no choice. |
(0:05:14.54) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wait, no! Where are you going?! |
(0:05:22.30) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Magi-kun! |
(0:05:24.97) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Don't follow me! |
(0:05:26.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This is just... you know... SFX makeup! It was a setup! |
(0:05:27.30) |
Kuriaki Magi : Like hell it is! Not when I can smell the blood! |
(0:05:30.80) |
Kuriaki Magi : Damn, he runs fast for a guy in sandals! |
(0:05:33.60) |
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, something's definitely off about this guy. |
(0:05:37.10) |
Kuriaki Magi : Can anyone run around like that after losing so much blood? |
(0:05:40.73) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, and can someone in that condition really be so articulate? |
(0:05:44.57) |
Kuriaki Magi : He's gone. |
(0:05:53.41) |
Yaeko Kirihara : What now? |
(0:05:54.29) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Weird or not, if he actually dies... |
(0:05:55.50) |
Kuriaki Magi : Yeah. He might really have been confused because of his wound. |
(0:05:58.75) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I know! The police! |
(0:06:01.92) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, yeah! I forgot! |
(0:06:03.38) |
Kuriaki Magi : Um, what was the number for the police again? |
(0:06:05.05) |
Yaeko Kirihara : 110! Dial 110! Calm down, Magi-kun! |
(0:06:07.59) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Okay, I get it. Let's talk. |
(0:06:16.43) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Just don't call the police, please! |
(0:06:18.64) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Come on in. Sorry it's such a mess. |
(0:06:33.70) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Man... |
(0:06:41.67) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Kids these days sure are nice. |
(0:06:43.92) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Old people are so much more shameless. It really sucks. |
(0:06:47.72) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Y'know, the old fart who runs the general store down the street... |
(0:06:51.72) |
Kuriaki Magi : What are you talking about? |
(0:06:54.68) |
Kuriaki Magi : We're worried about you here! |
(0:06:56.10) |
Kuriaki Magi : Should you be that crude with it? |
(0:07:01.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Coffee or tea? |
(0:07:05.57) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry, but I don't have booze. I don't drink. |
(0:07:07.78) |
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, honestly, that's fine. |
(0:07:10.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : How old are you guys, anyway? |
(0:07:13.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Should you be out this late? |
(0:07:15.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm 21. |
(0:07:17.62) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm 20. |
(0:07:18.95) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You're 21 and 20?! |
(0:07:20.08) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, sorry. I thought the girl was in, like, middle school. |
(0:07:22.08) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Oh, thanks... |
(0:07:26.88) |
Kuriaki Magi : You just apologized for not having booze. |
(0:07:27.96) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah, but you look pretty damn young for 21, too. |
(0:07:30.67) |
Kuriaki Magi : He's not just rude. He talks a lot, too. |
(0:07:35.35) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You think he's really okay? |
(0:07:38.35) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But man, 21, huh? |
(0:07:40.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You're young. I envy you. Bet you're strong, too. |
(0:07:42.06) |
Kuriaki Magi : How old are you
? |
(0:07:45.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Just accept that I'm old compared to you guys. |
(0:07:46.69) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Considering the outfits... You students? |
(0:07:49.61) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Won't your parents be worried? |
(0:07:51.78) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, it's fine. I live alone. |
(0:07:54.11) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Me, too. |
(0:07:56.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, then did you have some fun plans together tonight? |
(0:07:58.12) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry 'bout that. |
(0:08:01.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Man, you guys are too trusting. |
(0:08:04.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : When asked if your parents would be worried, |
(0:08:07.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : all you need to say is, "No, everything's fine." |
(0:08:11.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You shouldn't give a stranger more information than necessary. |
(0:08:13.18) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Especially a girl. |
(0:08:18.35) |
Momoyuki Mogura : As her boyfriend, you gotta protect her. |
(0:08:20.27) |
Kuriaki Magi : I'm not her boyfriend. |
(0:08:22.64) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, damn, sorry. |
(0:08:24.35) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Would that be considered sexual harassment these days? |
(0:08:25.94) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry about that. I just can't keep up with the times. |
(0:08:28.98) |
Kuriaki Magi : Yae-chan, let's go home. I think he's fine. |
(0:08:32.82) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, so your surname is Magi, right? |
(0:08:36.16) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Why do you call her "Yae-chan"? |
(0:08:39.12) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That kinda thing really interests me. |
(0:08:41.37) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In the same club? Or seminar? |
(0:08:43.66) |
Kuriaki Magi : Seriously, let's go. He's gonna be a huge pain in the ass. |
(0:08:45.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Leaving? |
(0:08:48.88) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, then here. Take your phone back. |
(0:08:51.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry I took it. |
(0:08:53.92) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, right. I should give you my contact info. |
(0:08:55.76) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Um, and mine, too. |
(0:08:58.51) |
Kuriaki Magi : I don't know what your deal is, but you should really go to a hospital, |
(0:09:02.60) |
Kuriaki Magi : so tell me yours. |
(0:09:06.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, I don't have a cell phone. |
(0:09:08.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No Internet here, either. Or driver's license. |
(0:09:10.57) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Or any phone at all. |
(0:09:13.61) |
Kuriaki Magi : What's your name? |
(0:09:15.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Mogura. |
(0:09:17.66) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mogura? |
(0:09:18.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Like I said, it's Mogura. Feel free to forget it. |
(0:09:19.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : How does someone like you work in this day and age? |
(0:09:22.83) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, the sign said you ran a bathhouse and did some kind of craftsman work... |
(0:09:34.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, that's a good question. |
(0:09:42.39) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, I almost forgot. |
(0:09:44.64) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I feel bad not doing anything to thank you after you've been so kind. |
(0:09:46.19) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If you ever get into any kind of trouble you can't get out of, come see me. |
(0:09:50.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Though it's fine if you forget me, too, really. |
(0:09:54.57) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I got you in this pretty deep, so I'm a little worried. |
(0:09:57.49) |
Kuriaki Magi : Well, we'll be going, then. |
(0:10:02.03) |
Kuriaki Magi : I'm Magi, third-year in the Liberal Arts Department of Yatsume University. |
(0:10:05.45) |
Kuriaki Magi : If anything happens... any side effects or anything... I'd hate that, so... |
(0:10:09.12) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You're the kinda guy who's too sincere for his own good, aren't you? |
(0:10:12.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Careful getting home, both of you. |
(0:10:16.63) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And, uh... you know... |
(0:10:21.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You don't have to believe this, but... |
(0:10:24.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I was banished from the afterlife, so I can't die. |
(0:10:26.81) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's my deal. |
(0:10:30.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So if you ever get into any of that kinda trouble, you can talk to me. |
(0:10:32.52) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And you can tell other people if you want. |
(0:10:37.32) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No one would believe you anyway. |
(0:10:39.03) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I don't have ID, a family register, or a residency card. |
(0:10:41.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I don't exist. |
(0:10:45.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That means the police won't come to question you, either. |
(0:10:48.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You genuinely don't need to worry about that. |
(0:10:52.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'll wash off the blood on the street and cover it with mud before morning. |
(0:10:55.92) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Anyway, thanks. And oppekepe to you, youngsters. |
(0:11:00.30) |
Kuriaki Magi : "Oppekepe"? |
(0:11:05.60) |
Yaeko Kirihara : "The oppekepe-bushi"... |
(0:11:07.39) |
Yaeko Kirihara : "A satirical song that was popular in the Meiji era," this says. |
(0:11:09.31) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : That said, there are few such stories in the Asian mythologies. |
(0:11:17.65) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : This is most likely due to differences in culture and religious perspectives. |
(0:11:23.57) |
Kuriaki Magi : There's some kind of black smudge... |
(0:11:25.66) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : We'll discuss that in a bit more detail next time. |
(0:11:30.04) |
Kuriaki Magi : Did my vision get worse? |
(0:11:32.21) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : That's it for today. |
(0:11:34.46) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Magi-kun, got a sec? |
(0:11:36.30) |
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, yeah... I got some, too... or I tried to. |
(0:11:41.18) |
Kuriaki Magi : Even with my part-time job money, this was all I could get. |
(0:11:45.18) |
Kuriaki Magi : Medicine sure is expensive. |
(0:11:48.14) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, we should really go check on him, right? |
(0:11:49.77) |
Kuriaki Magi : Yeah, I mean, he... |
(0:11:53.52) |
Kuriaki Magi : What would we do if he died because we left him alone, huh? |
(0:12:03.24) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I don't want to take on that kind of trauma in my twenties. |
(0:12:06.83) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Also, should we tell Fujimura-kun about this? |
(0:12:10.04) |
Kuriaki Magi : Nah, I don't think it'd do any good. |
(0:12:12.67) |
Kuriaki Magi : The guy kept the Kojien anyway, and we don't have proof. |
(0:12:15.04) |
Kuriaki Magi : I'm pretty sure it was Fujimura, though. |
(0:12:19.46) |
Kuriaki Magi : Anyway, let's go. |
(0:12:21.92) |
Kuriaki Magi : It was past the main street and the shopping district, then further down, right? |
(0:12:23.22) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah. |
(0:12:27.05) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, flowers... would probably just make things worse. |
(0:12:30.31) |
Kuriaki Magi : Is there anything else he might need? |
(0:12:33.69) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Well, they don't sell blood transfusion packs, so... |
(0:12:35.85) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You think he needs liver? |
(0:12:44.20) |
Kuriaki Magi : I feel like we've been more panicked than he was. |
(0:12:47.07) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Well, I hope he likes liver. |
(0:12:50.74) |
Kuriaki Magi : If he doesn't want it, I'll live off of it for the rest of the month. |
(0:12:53.46) |
Kuriaki Magi : It should be around here... |
(0:13:01.46) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Did we take a wrong turn? |
(0:13:08.14) |
Kuriaki Magi : No, this is right. |
(0:13:13.52) |
Kuriaki Magi : I remember seeing this trash collection sign. |
(0:13:15.35) |
Kuriaki Magi : See? |
(0:13:17.60) |
Kuriaki Magi : The collection days had been changed, and someone wrote on it. |
(0:13:18.52) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yeah, I did see that. |
(0:13:22.28) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Do they use manhole covers with this design in any of the 23 special wards? |
(0:13:23.74) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I feel like I remember this, too. |
(0:13:29.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : But the street stops here. |
(0:13:31.16) |
Yaeko Kirihara : This feels like those mysterious spirit encounters you see online. |
(0:13:33.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : Don't say stuff like that! |
(0:13:40.59) |
Kuriaki Magi : That kinda thing scares the shit out of me! |
(0:13:43.17) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm sorry! Magi-kun's about to cry! I'm sorry! |
(0:13:45.38) |
Kuriaki Magi : Listen. |
(0:13:47.84) |
Kuriaki Magi : If I had to choose at gunpoint between a haunted house and a free fall, |
(0:13:49.35) |
Kuriaki Magi : the free fall would just barely win out. |
(0:13:53.56) |
Kuriaki Magi : But either one might make me throw up! |
(0:13:56.02) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Really? I'll remember that. |
(0:13:58.65) |
Kuriaki Magi : But what makes me wanna puke more than anything is the kind of person |
(0:14:00.73) |
Kuriaki Magi : who'd force me into that choice! |
(0:14:03.78) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You mean Fujimura-kun?! |
(0:14:06.36) |
Kuriaki Magi : And I never want to see a ghost in my life! |
(0:14:08.45) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Your face is the scariest thing here right now! |
(0:14:11.41) |
Kuriaki Magi : I can't even stand the word "spirit"! |
(0:14:14.45) |
Kuriaki Magi : I wish you'd just say "monster"! |
(0:14:17.04) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I think monsters would be a lot more likely to attack you... |
(0:14:18.67) |
Yaeko Kirihara : There, there, there. |
(0:14:22.17) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Look at you two youngsters flirting. |
(0:14:24.00) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So did something happen? |
(0:14:27.47) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Or did you come to try out my bathhouse? |
(0:14:29.47) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's 500 yen for adults. |
(0:14:32.35) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It was 300 yen before, but prices just kept going up. |
(0:14:34.47) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Sorry. |
(0:14:38.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What's up? Let's go if you're going. |
(0:14:39.48) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Huh? |
(0:14:47.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Was I not the one you were looking for? |
(0:14:48.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's fine, too. |
(0:14:51.20) |
Kuriaki Magi : No, um... |
(0:14:52.37) |
Yaeko Kirihara : We came to bring you these. |
(0:14:53.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What?! |
(0:14:55.70) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Man, you really are the sincere type. They're for me? |
(0:14:57.00) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Yes. |
(0:14:59.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Wow, thanks. You sure? |
(0:15:00.58) |
Kuriaki Magi : This, too. |
(0:15:02.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Thanks. |
(0:15:03.50) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, this is liver! |
(0:15:04.34) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Woo-hoo! Nutrients incoming! |
(0:15:05.67) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Oh, good. The liver made him a lot happier than I expected. |
(0:15:08.88) |
Kuriaki Magi : Anyway, is the wound on your head okay? |
(0:15:12.47) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, it's fine. But look at this. |
(0:15:15.39) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I bought a helmet. Second-hand, though. |
(0:15:18.43) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Now I can keep my head safe. |
(0:15:21.02) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But what about you two? |
(0:15:22.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Did you see something, or something? |
(0:15:24.57) |
Kuriaki Magi : See something? |
(0:15:26.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So you really can see them now. |
(0:15:34.28) |
Kuriaki Magi : Uh, hang on! |
(0:15:36.62) |
Kuriaki Magi : I had my suspicions after all the weird stuff you said and did, |
(0:15:38.33) |
Kuriaki Magi : but is that actually a spirit I'm seeing?! |
(0:15:41.87) |
Kuriaki Magi : It's incredibly not-scary! |
(0:15:44.13) |
Kuriaki Magi : Which is good, but... |
(0:15:46.30) |
Kuriaki Magi : I was expecting the kind of cool, dramatic figure you see in JUMP
manga and stuff! |
(0:15:48.63) |
Kuriaki Magi : You tried to make it sound cool, but... |
(0:15:53.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Youngster, reality always goes in directions you wouldn't expect. |
(0:15:57.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This is your first spirit encounter! |
(0:16:02.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Mogura Momoyuki. |
(0:16:11.45) |
Momoyuki Mogura : "Mogura" means "hundred darknesses," and "Momoyuki" means "peach wood bow." |
(0:16:13.61) |
Momoyuki Mogura : 'Fraid I don't know whether it's a lucky name or an unlucky one, |
(0:16:16.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : but at this point, I guess we're already acquainted. |
(0:16:19.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Here's my proper introduction. |
(0:16:25.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm a hermit, a rare kind of person in this world. |
(0:16:27.21) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm sorry you had to make my acquaintance. |
(0:16:29.34) |
Kuriaki Magi : Peach wood bow? |
(0:16:31.76) |
Kuriaki Magi : Long ago, bows made from peach wood were said to ward off misfortune, |
(0:16:34.13) |
Kuriaki Magi : so they're also used to vanquish evil spirits... |
(0:16:37.60) |
Kuriaki Magi : I think, at least. |
(0:16:41.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Oh, you knew, huh? |
(0:16:41.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's a liberal arts kid for ya. |
(0:16:43.44) |
Kuriaki Magi : But writing "Mogura" as "hundred darknesses"? |
(0:16:45.23) |
Kuriaki Magi : In terms of Japanese mythology... |
(0:16:48.23) |
Kuriaki Magi : It's like the opposite of Amaterasu Omikami. That's super ominous. |
(0:16:50.69) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Just so you know, I don't have any cool powers like exorcism or whatever. |
(0:17:02.96) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I just took a little fire from him. |
(0:17:07.96) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That dude's not an evil spirit or anything. |
(0:17:10.63) |
Momoyuki Mogura : He was probably just gazing fondly at the little lady here or something. |
(0:17:13.22) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, that's kinda gross... |
(0:17:16.89) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah, I guess it is, but... |
(0:17:19.05) |
Kuriaki Magi : Please explain what's going on here. |
(0:17:23.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : All right. You're pretty quick to make decisions. |
(0:17:25.81) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi-chan, Yae-chan, come to my place for a bit. |
(0:17:28.27) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'm about to tell you a really long, crazy-sounding story. |
(0:17:31.94) |
Momoyuki Mogura : For now, just accept that. |
(0:17:34.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Also, the ending is basically, "If you ever see any ghosts, let me know." |
(0:17:36.57) |
Momoyuki Mogura : When you think of ghosts, you probably picture something like this, right? |
(0:17:45.50) |
Kuriaki Magi : Well... yeah. |
(0:17:49.04) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What do you think this is? |
(0:17:50.79) |
Kuriaki Magi : A ghost light? |
(0:17:52.55) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Right. |
(0:17:53.84) |
Momoyuki Mogura : We also call it demon fire. |
(0:17:54.76) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Specifically, it's something the dead produce that guides them to the afterlife. |
(0:17:56.55) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Like how you decorate with lantern plants during Obon. |
(0:18:01.60) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Those are named for the lanterns said to be carried by the dead. |
(0:18:03.72) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Ghosts' souls contain that same fire, |
(0:18:07.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and it makes them able to proceed to the afterlife naturally. |
(0:18:09.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It varies from ghost to ghost, though, so some lose their way. |
(0:18:12.40) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And demon fire is a by-product of said fire that leaks out of souls. |
(0:18:15.03) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Remember when I told you I was banished from the afterlife? |
(0:18:19.32) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, cut it out. Don't start thinking I need counseling. |
(0:18:23.33) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Just hear me out. |
(0:18:28.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The Sun stripped me of my right to carry this fire in my own soul. |
(0:18:30.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So if I turned into a ghost, I'm guaranteed to get lost. |
(0:18:36.26) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I can't go to the afterlife. |
(0:18:39.09) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I can store the fire by-product made by ghosts in this lantern. |
(0:18:44.97) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The plan is to get a bunch of it so it'll guide me to the afterlife. |
(0:18:48.94) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, listen! I only need you to remember the gist of it! |
(0:18:57.28) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But that also means this is my flame of life. |
(0:19:01.16) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You saw me using it in a different way before. |
(0:19:04.24) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Well, shit. Now I have no choice. |
(0:19:07.75) |
Kuriaki Magi : So you did use some kind of illegal substance! |
(0:19:10.42) |
Kuriaki Magi : No wonder you didn't want us to call the police! |
(0:19:12.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If we're being blunt, yes, but watch how you phrase that! |
(0:19:15.30) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You might say I was charging my life force. |
(0:19:18.88) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Kinda like an energy drink or e-money, I guess. |
(0:19:22.39) |
Kuriaki Magi : Charging... |
(0:19:25.51) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh! So, like, healing your wound? |
(0:19:26.56) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Nice, liberal arts kid. You catch on fast. |
(0:19:30.02) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This is what I love about literature nerds. |
(0:19:32.73) |
Momoyuki Mogura : To go even further, if I drink a lot, I can maintain a state that keeps my body alive. |
(0:19:37.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, I can age in reverse. |
(0:19:42.41) |
Kuriaki Magi : You really are just like a hermit. |
(0:19:44.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Yeah. The only part of it that sucks is that I didn't ask for it. |
(0:19:46.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Get it? I can't go to the afterlife, but I still live normally. |
(0:19:52.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That means I do get hurt, sick, and hungry, and I age. |
(0:19:56.88) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I can only stay alive if I regularly fix up my body with this fire. |
(0:20:01.63) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And above all, I can't survive in this world without money. |
(0:20:05.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And to get that, I have to work. |
(0:20:09.18) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Living normally costs money. |
(0:20:11.77) |
Momoyuki Mogura : With some self-restraint, I can save up a bit, but it harms my health. |
(0:20:13.77) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Going to the hospital costs money. |
(0:20:17.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Using the fire is free, but I'm left with less each time. |
(0:20:19.15) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I have to keep this thing stocked with fire while keeping up that kind of life. |
(0:20:23.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Whenever I happen to see a spirit, like before, I mooch a little. |
(0:20:27.95) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This is literally what it means to be tied down. |
(0:20:33.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's a well-thought-out punishment. |
(0:20:36.00) |
Kuriaki Magi : Punishment? |
(0:20:37.21) |
Kuriaki Magi : It's punishment? |
(0:20:38.67) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's right. |
(0:20:41.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They even gave it a clever name like "Drawer." |
(0:20:44.39) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This place is basically a prison. |
(0:20:47.35) |
Momoyuki Mogura : A drawer in which they stuff people who can't go to the afterlife. |
(0:20:50.72) |
Kuriaki Magi : Hang on! |
(0:20:55.85) |
Kuriaki Magi : There was no street there when we first came along, but then it appeared! |
(0:20:56.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It was there. |
(0:21:00.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You just weren't looking. |
(0:21:01.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Humans only see what they want to see. |
(0:21:03.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The things you're looking for only turn up after you've looked all over. |
(0:21:06.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's just how blind humans are. |
(0:21:10.41) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Missing a street or two happens all the time. |
(0:21:13.41) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Same with spirits. |
(0:21:16.67) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You just became aware of things you didn't notice before after meeting me. |
(0:21:18.09) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Any questions so far? |
(0:21:22.92) |
Kuriaki Magi : I have a lot, but it's all just so outlandish... |
(0:21:26.01) |
Kuriaki Magi : But weird things are
happening, so assuming it's true... |
(0:21:29.93) |
Kuriaki Magi : Stuff like "How old are you"? and "Did you see Perry's ships arrive?" |
(0:21:33.23) |
Kuriaki Magi : and "What's the scariest thing you've seen so far?" |
(0:21:36.48) |
Kuriaki Magi : My head's just a mess right now. |
(0:21:39.69) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Scariest thing, huh? Never been asked that before. |
(0:21:41.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Let's see... |
(0:21:46.36) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It'd have to be the time when consumption tax was implemented. |
(0:21:47.87) |
Kuriaki Magi : I get it, but come on. There's gotta be more. |
(0:21:52.83) |
Momoyuki Mogura : No, it's a huge problem! |
(0:21:55.37) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Every day, I have a meeting in my head about whether to ditch my breakfast eggs! |
(0:21:57.37) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And experience tells me it's gonna reach 10% someday! It gives me chills! |
(0:22:00.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's how it was with the land tax, too! |
(0:22:05.13) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Also, the time I picked up a broken TV, |
(0:22:08.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and days after I fixed it and turned it on, |
(0:22:09.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I was asked if I was paying my license fees. |
(0:22:12.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's insane. What the hell is with those guys? |
(0:22:14.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Who are they? The KGB? |
(0:22:17.98) |
Kuriaki Magi : Dude, that is the one comparison you should not
make. Ever. |
(0:22:20.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey, I paid it, though! I like Stretch Man! |
(0:22:24.15) |
Kuriaki Magi : You're actually a good guy, aren't you?! |
(0:22:27.82) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Anyway, that's the story. |
(0:22:30.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You need money to do anything. |
(0:22:33.04) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I need fire, I need money, |
(0:22:35.37) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and I need to live a healthy life if I want to move on. |
(0:22:37.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I save up, but I never have more. You know how that feels, right? |
(0:22:41.25) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's tough to balance saving and spending. |
(0:22:45.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'd love to conserve resources by never doing anything. |
(0:22:47.55) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's the kind of mental state I'm stuck in. |
(0:22:50.80) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I do everything half-assed. |
(0:22:53.81) |
Momoyuki Mogura : There's too much I have to do, and too much I can't do. |
(0:22:56.35) |
Kuriaki Magi : Oh, yeah. You did say you don't even have a residency card. |
(0:22:59.44) |
Kuriaki Magi : Isn't there a way for you to get one? |
(0:23:02.56) |
Momoyuki Mogura : There is. |
(0:23:05.15) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I mean, it's just data. Anyone can falsify it. |
(0:23:06.74) |
Momoyuki Mogura : So long as there are people who need it, there'll be people who do it for a living. |
(0:23:10.95) |
Momoyuki Mogura : There was a time when I made fake IDs and family registers, too. |
(0:23:16.87) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But in 1942, I got careless. |
(0:23:20.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And that's why it eventually came to me. |
(0:23:24.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Can you guess what came to me? |
(0:23:26.67) |
Kuriaki Magi : In 1942? |
(0:23:28.51) |
