- 1: Something I Won't Bend On
- Akira: We were looking for you, Mihono. Though I figured you'd be wandering around closer to the mansion...
- Butterfly Shaped Aradama: ...
- Akira: So that's why. You'd make it this far if Yomi's leading you around.
- Akira: We don't want to get rough with you if we don't have to. Come with us, Mihono.
- Yuuki: Please, Mihono-san.
- Yuuki: If you won't... Akira-nee-sama and I will bring you with us, even if we need to cut you down.
- Mihono: I'm on your side with trying to reduce the amount of toji getting hurt... But, I'm sure what you and Hitakami-san are doing is wrong!
- Yuuki: I know that Makoto-nee-sama isn't wrong. I want you to believe in her too.
- Akira: ...Either way, you already know what's going on. You can't go back anymore.
- Mihono: I'll... trust in the investigation team.
- Akira: Sure you would.
- Akira: The investigation team wouldn't abandon you either. They'd give everything trying to do something about Kanayamahime.
- Akira: But, that's as far as they'd get. You can't stop Kanayamahime from awakening. Makkochan's probably the only one who can, alright?
- Mihono: Then...
- Akira: I won't tell you you've gotta work with us forever. I won't make you join our faction either.
- Akira: Just, stay until we can settle this thing with Kanayamahime.
- Mihono: ...And in return, I have to help with your experiments, right?
- Akira: That's right.
- Akira: Y'know, I think pretty highly of you. I've been watching you a long time, under Makocchan's orders.
- Mihono: Huh?
- Akira: You didn't know, didja?
- Akira: The first time we met was at that shopping mall, but I'd known all about you before then. I'd heard about you from your buddies too.
- Akira: So what I'm saying is, I know just what kinda girl you are. And honestly, in the back of my mind... I knew you were never gonna work with us.
- Mihono: If you knew I wouldn't go along with you, then... why bother with this?
- Akira: I told ya, didn't I? I took a liking to you. That's why, just give in on this just this once. We won't do anything bad.
- Akira: Makocchan and us'll do everything we can. We'll figure something out with Kanayamahime, and we'll make sure there's no more failures with tamayori!
- Akira: So come on, Mihono... Just help out Makocchan.
- Mihono: ......
- Mihono: I'm sorry.
- Akira: ...So that's it.
- Akira: For Makocchan... I'd do whatever it takes.
- Akira: Yuuki! We're bringing Mihono back with us! Don't go easy on her!!
- Yuuki: Right! I feel the same as you do, Akira-nee-sama!
- Akira: Last time we went up against each other was back in that shopping mall.
- Mihono: ...Don't think I'm the same as I was back then.
- Akira: You are. If you're not using Kanayamahime, you're not gonna beat me.
- Mihono: I'll use her... It scares me, and I really don't want to, but...
- Mihono: If it'll get me back to see everybody again...!!
- 2: Hitakami's Experiments
- At the same time.
- ???: Ah, aghh, ah, aghhh...
- Kiyoka: What... is that...?
- Mirja: There's an aradama wrapped over her body... No; or has her body itself turned into aradama...?
- Yui: When they said the Hitakami faction was doing experiments, is this what they made...?
- Hitakami Toji L: That's... one of the failed tamayori subjects...?
- Hitakami Toji H: Who went and brought one out here...?
- Kofuki: Oi oi, even the enemy's backing off. Isn't that thing with them?
- Chie: Makoto... Just what are you doing...?
- ???: Haghh, hghh...
- Hitakami Toji L: Kh, we might not be able to control her, but we can still use this! We'll beat down the intruders with her!
- ???: RRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!
- Everyone: !!
- Kiyoka: Did she just use hachimanriki...?
- Mirja: It didn't look as though she did.
- Mirja: Though... to have that much power without hachimanriki... That's clearly not something a human could do...
- Yui: I wouldn't want to fight with that either.
- Kiyoka: B-But, can her body even take it...
- ???: ...et, not yet...
- Kofuki: Seems fine to me.
- Mirja: This is troubling... How should we respond to this... Setouchi Chie?
- Chie: ...We know much too little about what we're up against, so I'd like to avoid combat as much as possible, but...
- ???: HAAAAAAAHHHH!!
- Yui: UWAH!?
- Kofuki: Oi! It's not like we've got all the time in the world here!
- Kiyoka: Chie-san!
- Chie: We're counterattacking! Mirja, give us combat orders!!
- Mirja: Understood.
- Mirja: Our only threat here is that enemy. Eliminate the other toji first and focus all your efforts on that one!
- Mirja: Don't take her attacks head on! Utilize the openings after each attack!
- Mirja: Here she comes!
- 3: Unexpected Help
- ???: Ugh, urghh...
- Kiyoka: She still won't go down...?
- Yui: I get the feeling I've seen this scene in zombie movies before...
- Mirja: If you can speak that casually about it, you must be taking this stride.
- Yui: It's not like that... It's more like, if I don't joke about it, fighting a toji in this state is too sad...
- Chie: That's for sure...
- ???: You're right; this is as ugly as it gets.
- Yui: That voice!?
- Yume: What're you onee-sans doing here?
- Mirja: The special defense team?
- Mirja: You aren't here acting on Asakura Mihono's case... are you?
- Maki: That's right. We're here on our own circumstances.
- Maki: But that doesn't mean we're cold enough to ignore your situation. Yomi.
- Yomi: Right.
- Yomi: Please follow after these aradama. They will lead you to Asakura-san.
- Maki: Go. You can leave things here to us.
- Yume: More like, you're getting in our way!
- Yume: Maki-onee-san and me can handle that thing easy.
- Chie: ......Mirja.
- Mirja: ...Understood. We'll leave you to it.
- Maki: Good, that's a smart call. Get going!
- Yume: All that's left is to bring down that onee-san, huh.
- Maki: Even looking like that, we're still up against a toji. Are you alright with that, Yume?
- Yume: I know already. I won't overdo it like back when I fought against Mokusa.
- Maki: That's good then.
- Maki: Now, let's bring her under control!
- 4: Welcome and I'm Back
- Mirja: The direction Satsuki Yomi's aradama are moving in... It's the opposite direction of the mansion.
- Yui: So Mihono-chan's this far out in these hills. Without them leading us, we might not have met up with her.
- Kiyoka: Hono-chan is probably running away, isn't she... Which means... wouldn't she be in a pretty bad situation?
- Mirja: There's no mistaking that she must have fought against the Hitakami faction.
- Mirja: We have no way of knowing what happened or the result, but... her current circumstances can't be good.
- Kofuki: She could've also just gotten lost out here. And it wouldn't be weird if her phone just wasn't getting a signal out here.
- Mirja: That would be the most harmonious outcome. Though... In that case, I can't understand the reason for the Hitakami faction being on such high alert.
- Kofuki: I guess so. What a pain in the ass-.
- Chie: Mihono-chan...
- Chie: ...Let's hurry! We should reach her as soon as we can.
- Mihono: Huh? The aradama stopped moving...? Does that mean I should just wait here?
- Mihono: More of these aradama...?
- Chie: Mihono-chan!
- Mihono: ......Eh?
- Chie: Thank goodness, you're safe! Look how dirty you are... Are you hurt anywhere?
- Mihono: Chii-nee... And, everybody else... Am I dreaming?
- Mihono: Why would all of you be out here in the mountains...
- Kofuki: C'mon, we didn't hike through all this just for this to be a dream.
- Kofuki: Though, it figures you'd say something like that, Mihocchi.
- Yui: Mm! That's Mihono-chan, no doubt about it!
- Kiyoka: You're not dreaming...! We came to get you, Hono-chan!
- Mihono: You really did...?
- Mihono: Guys...!
- Kofuki: O-Oi!? What're you crying out of nowhere for!!
- Mihono: Of course I'm gonna cry...!
- Mihono: Cause, I was all alone up in the mountains in Tohoku, and Hitakami-san's toji were chasing after me, and I couldn't use Kashuu Kiyomitsu's power...
- Yui: You worked really hard, Mihono-chan! Come and dive right into my chest!
- Mihono: Yui~!
- Kofuki: The two of them've lost it. Right, Kiyoka?
- Kiyoka: Hono-chan... I'm so glaaad...
- Kofuki: Now you're crying too!?
- Kiyoka: Of course I'd be crying...
- Mirja: ...Asakura Mihono. I'm glad to see you're safe.
- Mihono: Mirja-san...
- Chie: I'm so sorry, Mihono-chan. I... I had no idea what Makoto was getting into now...
- Mihono: That's not it! That's now how this should go, Chii-nee!
- Mihono: This is... It's my fault for not listening properly to what you and Mirja-san were telling me.
- Mirja: Asakura Mihono...
- Mihono: I just let it get to my head. Since that power made me stronger... I'm sorry, Chii-nee, Mirja-san.
- Mirja: You aren't the only one at fault. When this was troubling you, Setouchi Chie and I should have stayed closer at your side.
- Chie: Mirja and I thought, if we could just do something about Kashuu Kiyomitsu... But you were worrying about this the whole time, Mihono-chan...
- Mihono: Kashuu Kiyomitsu's... No. Hitakami-san told me about what's really causing this power...
- Mihono: My strength... It wasn't coming from Kashuu Kiyomitsu after all.
- Mihono: I'm...
- Mirja: Please tell us everything after we've returned. For now... Welcome back, Asakura Mihono.
- Mihono: ...!
- Kofuki: Wait, isn't it weird telling her welcome back when we're the ones who came out to get her?
- Mirja: Is it really?
- Kiyoka: I feel like it's alright to tell her welcome back.
- Yui: Then, I'm on Kofuki-san's side here! We're enemies this time, Kiyoka-chan!
- Kofuki: I mean, who cares either way? It just crossed my mind.
- Yui: She betrayed me~!
- Chie: Okay, that's enough fooling around now.
- Chie: It's too soon for us to relax yet.
- Mihono: ...
- Chie: What's wrong, Mihono-chan?
- Mihono: ...It just feels like, I'm really back.
- Mihono: I'm back, everybody!
- 5: Tamayori (1)
- Maki: HAAAAH!!
- Yume: Alright, now you're done!
- ???: Grgh...!
- Yume: I'll give you that you're a little tough and got some power, but that's it. You're no big deal.
- ???: Ugh, urgh......!
- Yume: Ah, she ran off! Stop!
- Akira: You're the ones who should stop. Trampling over somebody's yard and all.
- Maki: Inago Akira and Toribane Yuuki?
- Akira: The elite guard... Or wait, you're the special defense team now? Well, it's all the same.
- Yomi: ...Akira.
- Akira: Hm? Hey, it's been a while, Yomi. Seems like you've been through a lot, but I'm glad you're looking alright.
- Yomi: How is Hitakami-san doing?
- Akira: She's just fine. Wanna see her?
- Yomi: ...No.
- Yuuki: Akira-nee-sama, please don't make small talk with the enemy. Especially not in front of... Tsubakuro Yume.
- Yume: Have we met somewhere before? Since I don't remember you, I'm pretty sure that means you're weak.
- Yuuki: This is our first time meeting. However... I know about you. What you did to everyone at Mokusa.
- Yume: ......
- Akira: ...Yuuki. The way you are now, you're not beating Tsubakuro Yume.
- Yuuki: With all due respect, Nee-sama. Do you only pick fights that you know you'll win?
- Akira: ...
- Yuuki: You don't, do you?
- Akira: Haha! You got me there! I don't mind that attitude one bit, Yuuki!
- Yuuki: I've been watching your back, Nee-sama. So, even if we won't win... We'll give them a fight!
- Yume: Fine by me, I'll take you on!
- 6: Tamayori (2)
- Yume: And, there.
- Yuuki: Rgh!
- Yume: That's my win, uh... Who were you again?
- Yuuki: I'm... Toribane Yuuki.
- Yume: I'll take you anytime, so whenever you think you can beat me, bring it on, Onee-san.
- Maki: That leaves only you left.
- Akira: Tch... You guys really are tough as hell.
- Maki: Inago Akira. Put a stop to your research.
- Maki: The Sword Administration Bureau can't turn a blind eye to what you're doing.
- Akira: Hah, what a joke. You're gonna play innocent to the shit you did and talk down to us?
- Maki: As someone who made their own share of mistakes... I'm warning you not to make them too.
- Akira: ...Tch. Oi, Yomi. You're not gonna lecture me like Shidou Maki here, are ya?
- Yomi: I am also a member of the special defense team.
- Akira: ...That so. Well, what can you do. We've both got our own positions. And what we think matters most ain't the same.
- Akira: --Yuuki, we're pulling out!
- Yuuki: Right!
- Maki: Kgh...!
- Maki: They ran away...
- Yomi: Will we give chase?
- Maki: ...No, we should hold off. This is the Hitakami's territory. Pushing in too deep could bring on too much danger.
- Yume: I'd already pretty much figured out how strong those two are too. Well, whatever.
- Maki: At any rate, we should return and report to Yukari-sama and Akane-sama. The Hitakamis seem to be doing something even riskier than we thought...
- 7: For My Desire
- Akira: Sorry, Makocchan. Mihono gave us the slip...
- Yuuki: I wasn't able to be any use either...
- Makoto: No, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I've pressed the both of you into an unpleasant role...
- Makoto: Akira-chan and Yuuki-chan, the two of you have both taken an interest in Asakura-san, haven't you?
- Makoto: In spite of that, I had forced you to fight against her...
- Akira: Don't think that you forced me to do it. That was my own choice doing that.
- Yuuki: The same goes for me. There's no need for you to feel bothered by it, Makoto-nee-sama.
- Makoto: Thank you very much, the both of you... I always find myself depending on your support.
- Makoto: Even though, by all rights, as the head of the Hitakami family, I should be much more reliable...
- Akira: Y'know, Makocchan. It's not like the reason I'm helping you's got anything to do with you being the head of the Hitakami family.
- Akira: I'm just helping you cause you're Makocchan. The same Makocchan I've known since we were kids; cause we're best buds.
- Akira: And when your best buds are in trouble, you do everything you can to get 'em out. That's just the way it is.
- Yuuki: That's exactly right! I'll help you too, Makoto-nee-sama!
- Makoto: Akira-chan... Yuuki-chan...
- Akira: You'd do the same too, right? If Yuuki or me were in trouble, you'd do whatever you can for us, wouldn't you?
- Makoto: Yes. Of course I would.
- Akira: So we're the same.
- Akira: Ever since we were little, no matter what the three of us did, we pulled through it together. So this time too, all I'm doing is trying to help a buddy of mine out.
- Yuuki: Please use me however you see fit, Makoto-nee-sama. The three of us work together as one.
- Makoto: Fufu. That's right, isn't it. I'll continue to be in your care, you two.
- Akira: Anyway! Let's put an end to the pity party here.
- Akira: While we were chasing after Mihono, we came across another failed tamayori toji. We managed to catch and put her under safety.
- Makoto: You did...? Thank you very much.
- Yuuki: Those old Hitakami bosses... Next time, let's light a fire under their asses!
- Akira: Hey... Where'd you learn to talk like that?
- Yuuki: From you, Akira-nee-sama.
- Makoto: Fufu. Bit by bit, Yuuki-chan might be coming to speak more like you, Akira-chan.
- Akira: Seriously...? Oi, Yuuki. You don't gotta go out of your way to copy me.
- Yuuki: It's not that I was trying to copy you... It just happened to slip out.
- Akira: Sigh~... Well, it's fine.
- Akira: More importantly, how many failed tamayori toji are we at now...?
- Akira: The ones up top are working out their alibis and hiding who's doing it, so we can't even pin down who's to blame.
- Makoto: We can't have the girls who were experimented on remain in that state forever. We'll have to cure them, no matter what.
- Akira: And, to cure them, we're gonna still have to improve on what we can do with tamayori.
- Makoto: We cannot put it off any longer. If we could only create one successful case of a tamayori toji, we could gather enough data from it...
- Makoto: Now that we can no longer hope for Asakura-san's assistance, I will use myself as a tamayori test subject.
- Akira: Wha--!?
- Yuuki: Y-You'll use yourself, Makoto-nee-sama!?
- Makoto: If you trace it back, the Atago and Hitakami come from the same bloodline. Though not nearly as much as Asakura-san, I am still suitable for tamayori.
- Akira: But still, there's a good chance it's gonna fail, isn't there!?
- Makoto: Yes. I understand that, of course.
- Makoto: But, if we continue to sit idly by, we won't be able to save those toji who were victims of the experimenting.
- Makoto: There are times that risks must be taken to achieve success. And there is no greater time for that than now.
- Other: Tamayori Toji
- Suzuka: Akane-sama, Yukari-sama. A report came in from Yomi-san.
- Akane: Please, go on.
- Suzuka: The Hitakami faction are attempting to create "tamayori toji."
- Suzuka: It appears to be research into improving a toji's abilities by equipping noro onto the body.
- Akane: Equipping noro onto the body...
- Suzuka: They've already begun human experimentation, and it seems they entered combat with one of the experiment results.
- Yukari: ...I see.
- Akane: What about Asakura-san?
- Suzuka: She safely escaped, from the sound of things.
- Akane: That's good to hear...
- Akane: Nee-sama, why do you think Hitakami-san found it necessary to bring in Asakura-san? Is there some connection between her and these tamayori toji...?
- Yukari: We should hear that from Asakura herself. Prepare to be ready to act against whatever those details may be.
- Akane: ...Right.
