Momoyuki Mogura : What'd you learn? Tell me. |
(0:00:44.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words... |
(0:00:50.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The island's royal family does whatever it takes to stay in power. |
(0:00:56.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They make the islanders dependent on them and rob them of their judgment. |
(0:01:00.45) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That family are pros at cleverly manipulating people's minds and controlling them. |
(0:01:04.61) |
Momoyuki Mogura : On top of a supernatural ritual that engenders a sense of unity, |
(0:01:08.46) |
Momoyuki Mogura : instilling an even greater sense of unity with an "us versus them" story |
(0:01:12.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : is particularly clever. |
(0:01:17.58) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Those they deem useless or impudent are driven to desperation and disposed of. |
(0:01:19.29) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They don't care if they die. |
(0:01:24.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Worst of all are the boss lady, her Oedipus complex puppet, |
(0:01:27.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and that strong-willed walking minefield. |
(0:01:30.46) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Simply put, they're a crazy bunch. |
(0:01:34.90) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What do they think other people are? |
(0:01:37.36) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Mori-kun's one of their victims. |
(0:01:40.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I'd bet this island has produced countless victims. |
(0:01:44.86) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They've made the merfolk bigger. |
(0:01:48.87) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I knew there were surprisingly few spirits on the island. |
(0:01:53.10) |
Momoyuki Mogura : When we arrived at the harbor, they even stared at us. |
(0:01:56.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Most of them probably get swallowed up by the merfolk. |
(0:02:00.08) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In other words, |
(0:02:03.33) |
Momoyuki Mogura : this place has always attracted spirits. |
(0:02:04.45) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The spirits that end up there form a single blob. |
(0:02:07.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's a pretty standard type of ghost in ghost stories. |
(0:02:11.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It has a propensity to attract spirits with strong negative emotions. |
(0:02:15.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's a ball of regret, so it craves company. |
(0:02:19.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It absorbs every spirit it can and eventually begins luring in the living. |
(0:02:24.31) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Those in a weakened state are especially susceptible. |
(0:02:30.10) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That produces haunted spots where accidents frequently occur |
(0:02:33.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : or places that bring about death. |
(0:02:38.15) |
Momoyuki Mogura : And the most important part in all of this is... |
(0:02:41.23) |
Momoyuki Mogura : What did the royal family do to Mori-kun to drive him to desperation? |
(0:02:45.45) |
Momoyuki Mogura : We should go check on him ASAP. |
(0:04:21.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : He needs a doctor, but the merfolk could lure him into the ocean first. |
(0:04:26.01) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The barrier between his mind and the merfolk isn't clear anymore. |
(0:04:31.87) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In fact... |
(0:04:35.38) |
Momoyuki Mogura : That's probably why he was hanging out in a place with a view of the sea yesterday. |
(0:04:36.78) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Should we mind our own business? |
(0:04:41.41) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Honestly, I don't know. |
(0:04:44.02) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But Yae-chan, I know you'll regret not doing anything, even if there's nothing you can do. |
(0:04:46.95) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Call it being a busybody or being self-serving. I can't deny that. |
(0:04:53.44) |
Momoyuki Mogura : But at the very least, |
(0:04:57.06) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I've seen too many people who die without anyone noticing, |
(0:04:59.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and others who feel regret because they didn't notice. |
(0:05:02.56) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm going. |
(0:05:06.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Yae-chan! |
(0:05:08.60) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Take someone with you. |
(0:05:09.59) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It can be just Magi, but if you don't mind, take me, too. |
(0:05:11.86) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Better to go with someone who doesn't know the island's rules. |
(0:05:17.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : They just have to be present. |
(0:05:20.55) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : I'm going to continue investigating the merfolk like I originally planned. |
(0:05:24.85) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : You all know what I look like. |
(0:05:28.83) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : I'm not suited to dropping in on someone and getting them to open up. |
(0:05:31.24) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : Do you understand what's going on? |
(0:05:37.53) |
Shio Inukai : Oedipus complexes are gross. |
(0:05:39.75) |
Kyoushirou Nekozuku : Honestly, good enough. |
(0:05:42.73) |
Yaeko Kirihara : There he is! Mori-kun! |
(0:05:54.63) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Wait! Don't run away! |
(0:05:56.93) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Um, I wasn't sure how to start, so I thought I'd pull you close. |
(0:06:12.99) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Can we talk? |
(0:06:19.58) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Sorry to be so frank, but did Yui-chan do something to you? |
(0:06:24.49) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Uh, a woman's intuition? |
(0:06:32.25) |
Yaeko Kirihara : These people don't know the island's rules. |
(0:06:35.22) |
Yaeko Kirihara : That's the reason I realized it. |
(0:06:38.45) |
Yaeko Kirihara : This island is weird. |
(0:06:40.75) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I thought you might want to talk to people who think that. |
(0:06:43.37) |
Yaeko Kirihara : What do you think? |
(0:06:48.11) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You were popular! |
(0:07:02.44) |
Yaeko Kirihara : People said a boy who looked like a TV character had arrived. |
(0:07:04.23) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You're right. |
(0:07:09.57) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Mori-kun, I'm attending a college in Tokyo. |
(0:09:47.51) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Let me know if you find any more interesting VTubers. |
(0:09:50.67) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm going to check out the Tokyo Game Show. |
(0:09:53.42) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Man. You're not even allowed to think
that on this island? |
(0:10:44.59) |
Momoyuki Mogura : In that case, I'd be a total failure, since I constantly want to die. |
(0:10:49.79) |
Momoyuki Mogura : People say whatever they want without realizing they're killing people. |
(0:10:57.77) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I've probably said something like that, too. |
(0:11:03.11) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Meanwhile, sometimes people want to die because they want to live. |
(0:11:06.36) |
Momoyuki Mogura : This world is oppekepe, kid. |
(0:11:11.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You're doing good. |
(0:11:13.94) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I had no idea. |
(0:11:17.03) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You sure are popular, Mori-kun. |
(0:11:24.55) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I didn't see myself as involved. |
(0:11:32.37) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I failed to notice because my family are old-timers. |
(0:11:35.49) |
Yaeko Kirihara : I'm sorry, Mori-kun. |
(0:11:41.13) |
Yaeko Kirihara : R-Right. Of course. |
(0:11:52.62) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Nice to meet you! |
(0:11:54.79) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : This is why private storehouses mustn't be underestimated. |
(0:12:45.32) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : Are you sure? |
(0:13:02.09) |
Toushirou Nekozuku : May I read this? |
(0:13:44.46) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Mori-kun, are you okay? |
(0:13:52.13) |
Yaeko Kirihara : You don't have to strain yourself. |
(0:13:53.85) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Mori-kun! |
(0:14:57.34) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi! |
(0:15:25.62) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Magi-kun! |
(0:15:25.62) |
Yaeko Kirihara : The tidal currents here are unique. |
(0:17:19.41) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Yae-chan, get in touch with Nekozuku. |
(0:17:51.93) |
Momoyuki Mogura : All these unexpected turns are making the merfolk mad. |
(0:17:54.46) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Okay. |
(0:17:57.81) |
Momoyuki Mogura : It's like a level 100 out-of-control fussy toddler. |
(0:17:58.60) |
Momoyuki Mogura : At this rate, it could cause major damage. |
(0:18:02.07) |
Kuriaki Magi : Mori-kun, are you okay? |
(0:18:08.59) |
Yaeko Kirihara : Mogura-san? |
(0:18:34.53) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Magi! Hold Mori-kun in place! |
(0:19:04.38) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Don't move a millimeter! |
(0:19:09.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Hey! Retrieve the arrowhead! |
(0:19:55.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If any fish or birds swallow it, it could hurt them! |
(0:19:57.91) |
Momoyuki Mogura : An islander fell into the sea. |
(0:20:18.26) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You should be heading down there first. |
(0:20:20.71) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Is that what Mama told you to do, sonny? |
(0:20:29.80) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Not only am I suspicious, I know everything. |
(0:20:33.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : An Oedipus complex fogey, an evil little girl, and a monstrous hag. |
(0:20:36.60) |
Momoyuki Mogura : I doubt it'll do any good, but let me say the decent thing anyway. |
(0:20:40.50) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You call yourself a company president, you fogey? |
(0:20:44.46) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You think pretty clearly for a puppet. |
(0:20:58.55) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You're wasting your potential. |
(0:21:01.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You've got a way with words, and you're quick-witted. |
(0:21:03.65) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Careful with that. Is that a knife for butchering fish? |
(0:21:05.83) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You don't have many openings. |
(0:21:09.15) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You practice a martial art, don't you? |
(0:21:10.98) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You must've been raised well. |
(0:21:13.08) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You even look pretty good for your age. |
(0:21:14.99) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You'd be a desirable man if you were weaned. |
(0:21:18.08) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Anyway, nobody wants to see a fight between a middle-aged man and an old-timer. |
(0:21:21.25) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Let's not do this. |
(0:21:26.05) |
Momoyuki Mogura : On top of that, you've got that boss hag and minefield girl behind you. |
(0:21:27.55) |
Momoyuki Mogura : If this were a manga or anime, you wouldn't have any fans. |
(0:21:31.19) |
Momoyuki Mogura : You gotta at least have a young handsome boss. |
(0:21:35.19) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Your family, huh? |
(0:21:41.51) |
Momoyuki Mogura : Isn't this what it said? |
(0:21:44.63) |
Momoyuki Mogura : "With a head resembling an infant |
(0:21:47.49) |
Momoyuki Mogura : and the body of a woman, |
(0:21:51.14) |
Momoyuki Mogura : it lures men into the sea with its voice." |
(0:21:55.13) |
Momoyuki Mogura : The unsightly merfolk |
(0:22:00.07) |
Momoyuki Mogura : is your family! |
(0:22:02.51) |
