EXTRA : Please... |
(0:00:10.93) |
EXTRA : Please become... our Goddess of Wisdom. |
(0:00:17.94) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Oh, it must be time already. |
(0:00:42.03) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Okay, thanks. |
(0:00:45.03) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Hello. It's been a while. |
(0:01:03.55) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Uh... Who might you be? |
(0:01:07.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : You don't remember what the person who saved your life looked like? |
(0:01:10.01) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I'm pretty sure I haven't been through any |
(0:01:13.39) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : life-threatening events in the last decade or so... |
(0:01:15.52) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : About two years ago, at this hospital... |
(0:01:18.41) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Whoa, there... |
(0:01:29.76) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Are you all right? |
(0:01:42.75) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Uh, thank you. I guess you saved... |
(0:01:47.63) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Oh, I'm so sorry! |
(0:01:50.78) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : In that case, as the one who saved your life, |
(0:01:53.35) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : all I ask is that you remember me for life. |
(0:01:55.89) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Isn't that going a bit overboard? |
(0:01:58.40) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Actually... I guess it is
possible to die that way. |
(0:02:01.82) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Okay, I'll remember you. |
(0:02:05.31) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : He reminds me of a goat. |
(0:02:08.97) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Goats are skinny, spacey, and spend their whole lives |
(0:02:11.41) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : obliviously munching on grass, day in and day out. |
(0:02:14.94) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : But you can feel a bizarre sort of vitality in them. |
(0:02:18.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Yes, one must never underestimate a goat. |
(0:02:22.61) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It is an extremely agile creature |
(0:02:26.27) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : that has no problems living in highlands or even wastelands. |
(0:02:28.47) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : And depending on the breed, it may also have two powerful horns. |
(0:02:32.26) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : They're almost like demon horns. |
(0:02:37.62) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Horns of undeniable sharpness... |
(0:02:41.38) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Is this... |
(0:02:44.19) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Is this what they mean by "love at first sight"?! |
(0:02:45.82) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Oh, you're the girl from back then. |
(0:02:48.50) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : That girl wasn't wearing a beret, though... |
(0:02:50.79) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Can you only tell girls apart by their hats? |
(0:02:54.74) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Sorry. I'm not very good at remembering girls' faces. |
(0:02:57.54) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : And if I remember them too well, it makes Saki-san grumpy. |
(0:03:01.91) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : In that case, please try to remember it again. |
(0:03:06.33) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : My name is Iwanaga Kotoko. |
(0:03:13.46) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : That's written with the characters for "rock" and "eternity," |
(0:03:15.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : then "koto," as in the musical instrument, and "child." |
(0:03:18.05) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I'm now seventeen, and I'm quite lively. |
(0:03:20.55) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Got it. I won't forget this time. |
(0:03:25.06) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I'm sure... considering I heard that you and Saki-san broke up. |
(0:03:28.77) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : How did you know that? |
(0:03:33.94) |
Saki Yumihara : What are you doing, Kuro-kun? |
(0:03:37.31) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Saki-san. |
(0:03:40.54) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Uh, she sort of saved my life. |
(0:03:43.94) |
Saki Yumihara : So I saw. |
(0:03:46.50) |
Saki Yumihara : I'm sorry for the trouble he caused. |
(0:03:49.25) |
Saki Yumihara : And thank you. |
(0:03:52.87) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Why are you the one apologizing? |
(0:03:56.54) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Is she his older sister? Or another relative? |
(0:03:59.30) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Actually, she could be his younger sister... |
(0:04:01.49) |
EXTRA : His name is Sakuragawa Kuro-kun. |
(0:04:06.95) |
EXTRA : He's a second-year at Homei University, and he's studying law. |
(0:04:09.29) |
EXTRA : He comes here often to visit his cousin, who's a long-term patient. |
(0:04:12.14) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Is this cousin of his a somewhat tall woman? |
(0:04:15.25) |
EXTRA : Oh, that's not his cousin. |
(0:04:18.89) |
EXTRA : Her name is Saki-san. She's a year older than him and his girlfriend. |
(0:04:21.50) |
EXTRA : They've been dating since they were in high school. |
(0:04:25.38) |
EXTRA : Kuro-kun even decided to go to the same university she was attending. |
(0:04:27.64) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : And then, two years after our first encounter... |
(0:04:49.60) |
EXTRA : Apparently Kuro-kun and Saki-san are getting married after they graduate. |
(0:04:52.27) |
EXTRA : I heard they just met each other's parents recently. |
(0:04:56.18) |
EXTRA : They're going to get married any day now. |
(0:05:00.50) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : He's alone today? |
(0:05:11.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Did Kuro-san and his girlfriend break up? |
(0:05:13.58) |
EXTRA : What? No way. |
(0:05:16.53) |
EXTRA : Come to think of it, he stopped talking about his girlfriend around February. |
(0:05:18.28) |
EXTRA : Actually... He hasn't really talked to anyone. |
(0:05:22.89) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : What is this hospital's policy on handling personal information, anyway? |
(0:05:28.01) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : They said they had no obligation to protect |
(0:05:32.10) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : a visitor's personal information. |
(0:05:34.44) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Is that how it works? |
(0:05:36.21) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It is rather shady. |
(0:05:37.89) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : They never did tell me |
(0:05:39.74) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : who your cousin is or why they're in the hospital, though. |
(0:05:41.09) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : You're better off not knowing. |
(0:05:46.70) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : The reasons people are hospitalized long-term aren't usually that amusing. |
(0:05:48.64) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : So... |
(0:05:53.81) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : In regard to you and Saki-san breaking up right before spring... |
(0:05:54.69) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : They really don't care about my privacy, do they? |
(0:05:58.38) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Regardless, you're single now. |
(0:06:02.11) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Have you given any thought to starting fresh by meeting someone new? |
(0:06:05.16) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Could you get to the point? |
(0:06:09.99) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Would you consider dating me with marriage in mind? |
(0:06:13.41) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I've held this one-sided love for two years, |
(0:06:18.65) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : just waiting for this moment! |
(0:06:21.30) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : You're surprisingly direct, despite how you look. |
(0:06:26.65) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : And pretty persistent, too, if you waited two years... |
(0:06:30.01) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : You can always wait for fate. |
(0:06:32.99) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I don't think I can legally go out with a middle schooler, though... |
(0:06:35.35) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I told you! I'm seventeen and in high school! |
(0:06:39.62) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I plan on applying to your university next year! |
(0:06:41.89) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Do you have the memory of a chicken?! |
(0:06:44.83) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Was it that funny? |
(0:06:52.77) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Nah, it just made me feel weirdly happy. |
(0:06:55.28) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : A high school girl just asked me out. I guess I'm not a total lost cause. |
(0:06:58.20) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I haven't felt this great in a while. |
(0:07:03.52) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : So, did Saki-san dump you? |
(0:07:05.35) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : It wasn't Saki-san's fault. |
(0:07:08.02) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : There was no way around it. |
(0:07:10.67) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : So... I don't think I can go out with anyone new for a while. |
(0:07:13.42) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : So what was it, exactly, that caused |
(0:07:18.61) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : such a pathetic fall that ended in a break-up? |
(0:07:21.33) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : At the end of last year, Saki-san and I went on a trip to Kyoto. |
(0:07:26.12) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : A trip together before marriage?! You promiscuous heathens! |
(0:07:29.73) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : What decade were you born in, anyway? |
(0:07:32.63) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : So, late one night, when we were walking along the Kamo River... |
(0:07:36.29) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Those things that are said to show up on shorelines? |
(0:07:48.57) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Yup. A kappa. |
(0:07:51.21) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It wasn't a gataro, suiko, or hyosube? |
(0:07:53.22) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : You sure know your stuff. |
(0:07:55.96) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Whatever it was, calling it a kappa seemed to fit best. |
(0:07:58.06) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I just know that it wasn't a human or an animal. |
(0:08:02.41) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : But it was definitely some kind of moving, breathing life form. |
(0:08:06.80) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : The moment we realized that, it became something so terrifying |
(0:08:13.29) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : that it felt like all the rules of our world were about to crack. |
(0:08:17.19) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : But kappas aren't bad. |
(0:08:21.69) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : These days, they're very trendy creatures that can recommend good sushi or shrimp chips. |
(0:08:23.94) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Well, the one I saw then seemed like it'd drag you into the river |
(0:08:28.62) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : and suck out all of your bodily fluids. |
(0:08:32.26) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : The next day, they actually found a body in the river near there. |
(0:08:35.13) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : It was ruled an accident, but what caused it is still unclear. |
(0:08:39.13) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Saki-san is pretty brave, |
(0:08:42.69) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : and she doesn't believe in yokai or ghosts. |
(0:08:44.96) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : But she saw that thing and got so scared that she just clung to me, shaking. |
(0:08:48.29) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : And what happened after that? |
(0:08:51.95) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Without a second look at Saki-san, |
(0:08:54.43) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : the coward just whimpered in fear and ran off like a scared rabbit. |
(0:08:57.11) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Well, it was
a kappa. |
(0:09:02.89) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : After that, she said she never knew I was that kind of person, |
(0:09:05.33) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : and things got awkward. |
(0:09:08.54) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : She was already planning to move away for her new job, |
(0:09:10.67) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : so she took that opportunity to break up. |
(0:09:13.27) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : And who could blame her? |
(0:09:15.52) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I don't care if you believe me or not. |
(0:09:19.13) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : If you don't believe me, |
(0:09:21.45) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : then I'm just a crazy college kid who blames a kappa |
(0:09:23.05) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : for the fact that he got dumped. |
(0:09:25.69) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Or... |
(0:09:28.50) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Maybe I'm a college kid who went crazy from the shock of getting dumped. |
(0:09:30.09) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Regardless, I'm not worthy to be your boyfriend. |
(0:09:34.07) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : My bus will be here soon. |
(0:09:39.34) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : We aren't done talking yet. |
(0:09:43.37) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Please clarify the subject of your statement. |
(0:09:46.27) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Who, exactly, left Saki-san there and ran off? |
(0:09:48.58) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It wasn't you that ran off. It was the kappa, wasn't it? |
(0:09:55.22) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : The kappa saw you next to Saki-san, got scared, and ran away. |
(0:09:59.03) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : What an awful experience for that kappa, |
(0:10:05.04) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : just randomly running into you in the middle of the night. |
(0:10:07.15) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It has my sympathy. |
(0:10:10.41) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Saki-san saw that terrifying yokai run away |
(0:10:12.27) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : after seeing you, wondered who you really were, and got creeped out. |
(0:10:15.20) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : That's when she said she never knew you were that kind of person. |
(0:10:19.47) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Isn't that right? |
(0:10:23.30) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : You're making one key mistake. |
(0:10:25.41) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Kappas don't exist to begin with. |
(0:10:28.34) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Even though you just said they did? |
(0:10:31.22) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : That was a lie. |
(0:10:33.37) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : As if I'm gonna tell another girl the truth about my break-up. |
(0:10:34.84) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I'm only slightly acquainted with kappas, |
(0:10:38.58) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : but I'm quite knowledgeable about creatures similar to it. |
(0:10:41.41) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : This town, and even this hospital, has yokai, ayakashi, spectres, |
(0:10:45.38) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : and demons lurking everywhere. |
(0:10:51.65) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : In the shadows of the azaleas in this garden, |
(0:10:55.21) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : and from atop the dogwoods, |
(0:10:57.14) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : they are quietly observing us. |
(0:10:59.13) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Most of them mean no harm, |
(0:11:03.98) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : but they do exist everywhere. |
(0:11:06.88) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : They see you and whisper to me... |
(0:11:10.14) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : "He's something different. He's... He's terrifying." |
(0:11:14.10) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Who are you? |
(0:11:19.95) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Why are you so sure these things exist? |
(0:11:22.07) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : When I was eleven, |
(0:11:25.58) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I happened to be kidnapped for two weeks by these creatures. |
(0:11:27.44) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Deep in the mountains where they took me, they implored me, the girl they kidnapped... |
(0:11:32.67) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : "Please become our Goddess of Wisdom." |
(0:11:38.01) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Goddess of Wisdom? |
(0:11:42.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Most of these creatures were of low intellect, |
(0:11:44.22) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : so they were looking for someone who could help them, |
(0:11:46.63) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : quell their fighting, and make peace among them. |
(0:11:49.64) |
EXTRA : Please, please, we beseech you. |
(0:11:53.63) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : So I replied... |

Kotoko Iwanaga : Yes, I shall. |
(0:12:00.21) |
EXTRA : My Lady! |
(0:12:02.55) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Ever since then, whenever they have problems or conflicts with one another, |
(0:12:09.89) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : they come from all over the country to ask me to mediate or come up with solutions. |
(0:12:14.64) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : That's hard to believe. |
(0:12:19.83) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Indeed, it is. |
(0:12:21.17) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : In that case, why don't you go find a newspaper from around July six years ago? |
(0:12:22.50) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : You should be able to find an article about |
(0:12:26.76) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : a fifth-grade girl named Iwanaga Kotoko |
(0:12:29.26) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : who disappeared from this town and then, two weeks later, |
(0:12:32.44) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : was found napping on a park bench. |
(0:12:36.55) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : The little girl's left leg was severed, and her right eye had been gouged out. |
(0:12:40.97) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Unsurprisingly, the culprit behind this incident was never caught. |
(0:12:49.72) |

(0:13:57.87) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I'm sure it's hard for all of you to imagine, |

Kotoko Iwanaga : but to me, Kuro-san is quite the looker. |
(0:14:05.85) |

, |

Kotoko Iwanaga : there is a mention of a god named Kuebiko. |

Kotoko Iwanaga : but it is a god of wisdom with much knowledge of the world. |
(0:14:56.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It also mentions that, at times, beings with only one eye |

Kotoko Iwanaga : The kinds of gods that have either one leg or one eye |

(0:16:31.46) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Indeed. That could all just be a fantasy in my head. |
(0:16:36.65) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : If that's the case, then I'm just a girl who went crazy after being kidnapped |
(0:16:40.04) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : by some lunatic who messed with my body. |
(0:16:44.35) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Whether you believe me or not is your choice. |
(0:16:46.98) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : But I may be the only one in this world who can truly understand you. |
(0:16:50.96) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : So you're saying those who ended up with either one eye or one leg |
(0:16:57.04) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : sometimes become a sacrifice to the gods? |
(0:17:00.18) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Yes. A sacrifice to connect the people with the gods, |
(0:17:03.02) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : or in some cases, a priestess who can hear the voices of the gods. |
(0:17:05.79) |
EXTRA : My Lady! |
(0:17:16.11) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Well, if it isn't a bake-danuki. |
(0:17:18.63) |
EXTRA : The library's barrier has been broken! |
(0:17:21.71) |
EXTRA : That's going to cause all kinds of trouble! Please hel— |
(0:17:24.05) |
EXTRA : My Lady, how many times did we ask you to stay away from this creature?! |
(0:17:30.35) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Kuro-san, you shouldn't scare them like that. |
(0:17:35.00) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I didn't even do anything... |
(0:17:37.80) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : But it certainly isn't good that the barrier was destroyed. |
(0:17:39.80) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : We must hurry. |
(0:17:43.07) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Come with us, Kuro-san. |
(0:17:44.17) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Huh? |
(0:17:45.42) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Let's get rid of any doubts you may have by engaging in an actual battle. |
(0:17:46.34) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Oh, I don't doubt anything after seeing monsters asking you for help. |
(0:17:49.97) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I believe you. Bye. |
(0:17:53.84) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Oh, don't be like that. |
(0:17:55.61) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : The yokai in the library is quite violent and evil. |
(0:17:58.09) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : There might be an article in tomorrow's paper about |
(0:18:02.99) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : a girl with one eye and one leg who was brutally murdered! |
(0:18:05.69) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : A tragic end for the girl who confessed her love for you, |
(0:18:09.09) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : even if you have no interest in her... |
(0:18:11.92) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : If it came to that, you wouldn't be able to escape your guilt, would you? |
(0:18:13.45) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I thank you for your help, |
(0:18:21.64) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : but I'm not sure if I agree with how you're carrying me. |
(0:18:22.94) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Isn't it the norm to carry me like a princess in these situations? |
(0:18:25.71) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I'll admit, I have no idea what the norm would be in this kind of situation. |
(0:18:28.76) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Um, are you all— |
(0:18:35.48) |
EXTRA : My Lady! |
(0:18:36.82) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Calm down, Kuro-san. This is just the ghost of a fallen warrior |
(0:18:39.93) |
EXTRA : My Lady! I'm utterly powerless against the sheer violence of that thing! |
(0:18:43.23) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : That's quite enough. |
(0:18:54.64) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : The human world and the world of the ayakashi must maintain their balance. |
(0:18:56.20) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I cannot allow those who disregard the— |
(0:19:00.81) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Nice job running your big mouth, but what do we do now? |
(0:19:09.17) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : This is unexpected. |
(0:19:12.42) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : What?! |
(0:19:13.88) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I should have been able |
(0:19:14.83) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : to contain a yokai like that after it took one look at you, but... |
(0:19:16.19) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It's in such a panic that it can't see what's going on around it. |
(0:19:20.12) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : So you only wanted me for my body? |
(0:19:23.16) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I was serious when I asked you out. |
(0:19:25.69) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : It hurt me deeply to go after your body like this on our first date. |
(0:19:27.83) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Do you have some kind of plan? Any talismans or sutras you can use? |
(0:19:31.69) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : If it won't listen to me, we'll just have to use force. |
(0:19:34.44) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Force? |
(0:19:37.50) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Ah, yes... I definitely prefer being held this way. |
(0:19:59.80) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : I feel even closer to you now. |
(0:20:03.73) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : Now really isn't the time for that... |
(0:20:05.33) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : You have a point. |
(0:20:07.28) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Let's flee for now. |
(0:20:14.23) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Kuro-san, what are you doing? |
(0:20:17.49) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : We can do all the naughty things you want later... |
(0:20:19.39) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : That's not it. I can't have you doing anything reckless again. |
(0:20:21.54) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Kuro-san, run— |
(0:20:26.25) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Two years ago, and again now... |
(0:20:48.85) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : You have that same unfazed look on your face. |
(0:20:52.16) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : How can you be so indifferent when you're in danger?! |
(0:20:55.33) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I don't appreciate hearing that from someone as reckless as you. |
(0:21:00.80) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I thought you'd already figured it out. |
(0:21:04.86) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Huh? |
(0:21:07.80) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : I guess my flesh really is poison to them. |
(0:21:20.72) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Kuro-san... Who are you, really? |
(0:21:44.59) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : The ones asking for your wisdom won't tell you? |
(0:21:49.33) |
Kotoko Iwanaga : Everyone avoids talking about things that terrify them. |
(0:21:53.17) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : You're right. |
(0:21:58.53) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : If I were to use your words... |
(0:22:00.01) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : When I was eleven, I ate two different kinds of yokai flesh... |
(0:22:05.27) |
Kurou Sakuragawa : As much as I could eat. |
